This is not new since another one of their vehicles caught fire in a parade some time ago. The causes may be complex but the fact that a fire even happened is not good PR for any company. It makes that old saw "Caveat Emptor" especially applicable.
Does chrome ingnite from spontaneous combustion? Just askin.
I look forward to seeing what the investigation turns up. They can use the information to improve the Ram.
Probably a user ignited or caused fire. I have a crossfire, so is this supposed to be a ramfire?
I hope that my daughter's 2012 Grand Cherokee doesn't suffer from this instantaneous self-combustion and immolation with her and the grand kids in it.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. Obviously some Quality issues here. I thought the UAW was part-owner in this venture. It is possible that one of their own sabotaged this truck? Or could it be a supplier?
I wonder if we will ever find out what caused this fire. If I were a betting man, I'd say we won't.
Doesn't surprise me. Every time I see a car fire on the highway it's always a MOPAR.

I thought my fellow Aussies - especially the sandgropers - would like to see a couple of our iconic waterfowl - the black swans.
Unfortunately, I can't show you the image here just yet - I don't have ten posts showing in the forum. But you can see it at Flickr, if you open the folder photos/yuyiya then choose the only non-human subject of the two photos there.
Just to make sure you can find it, it's photo number 3475241417/ in my folder. (Don't forget to put slashes / between the pieces of the filename.)
Hope it's worth the effort ...!

Is Andy Reid making moves in order to remain head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013? I'm sure nobody really wants to hear this, or even think about it, but there is a scenario brewing that could ultimately keep Reid in Philly… Let's take into consideration the following things: Reid's son passes away during training camp Injuries have decimated the offensive line to a point where any offense would struggle DeSean Jackson out for the year Michael Vick knocked out and probably won't return Juan Castillo was fired Jason Babin released Now Jim Washburn has been fired Nick Foles has progressed each week and is coming off of a good performance in Dallas Bryce Brown looks exciting (sans the fumbles) There are a few ways to look at the recent moves Reid has made. Reid has either finally admitted to himself the mistakes he made and is correcting them, is under pressure from Jeff Lurie to make changes, is making these moves in a desperation attempt to save his job, or is doing thes...

A high definition remastering of the first two Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku games.
The sixth title in the Yakuza series, replacing the previous games' realistic storyline with a ridiculous 'what if' story about a zombie invasion, still starring Kazuma Kiryu and some other major Yakuza characters.
Yakuza 4 is the fourth game in Sega's crime drama series, known as 'Ryu ga Gotoku' in Japan. As a first for the series, the story is split between the viewpoints of four different protagonists.
Sega's Yakuza series moves to the PlayStation 3 for its third installment, bringing all the comically brutal beat-em-up gameplay, Japanese RPG storytelling and various mini-games with it.
Yakuza 2 is a free-roaming action-adventure brawler which is a continuation of the original Yakuza game on the PlayStation 2. The game is set 1 year after the first game in Osaka, Japan and follows the exploits of Kiryu Kazuma as he tries to settle a gang war.
Yakuza, known in Japan as Ryu ga Gotoku (Like a Dragon), is an open-world action-adventure game with RPG elements, developed and published by Sega, in which you play the role of a Yakuza gangster known as Kazuma Kiryu. It was released in 2005.
Ryū ga Gotoku Zero (Yakuza Zero) is a prequel with young Kiryu. Coming to PS3/PS4.

I think it would be very difficult to put more responsibility on the shoulders of DPS unless they, for example, changed how threat worked such that it would be DPS' job to maintain low threat rather than a tank's job to maintain high threat, but it would be a) difficult to implement and b) probably cause more problems than it would solve since there would be a bunch of people who wouldn't know about the change and would consequently just pull aggro all the time and get mad at tanks about it (which I'm pretty sure is the #1 reason why tanks stop tanking for PUG groups - idiots get mad at them all the time for stupid shit).
Either way, I'm not sure that this is such a bad idea - it will definitely encourage tanks who generally only run in guild groups to throw themselves into the PUG pool once and a while, and they won't be able to bring anyone with them to "take" DPS spots if they want to get the rewards. DPS that can be tanks might certainly attempt to tank, but unlike in Wrath where you could get a very well-geared healer to carry a DPSer in a tanking spec through dungeons, you can't really do that yet in Cataclysm. On the other hand, as gear gets better dungeons should become easier and people will be less "afraid" to tank in PUGs or tank period, so this kind of thing may no longer be needed.

Hey all just as i'm getting back into my photography and my cycling I'm going to be sidelined for a few months. I was out cycling on Monday and had a nasty crash and I've broken my collar bone .
I'm totally gutted because I was starting to enjoy 2012 after a slow start due to man cold (Flu) then tonsillitis and not working due to change of owner in my unfortunate general job as a bar Supervisor. I only started work 3 and a half weeks ago and I'm now signed off again.
Right now all I can think of is roll on 2013 and let's have a fresh start
Hey these things happen and I'm going to try and keep myself occupied with something, so a trip down to the library to read books on tips on how to improve my flash photography.
Plus the possibility of getting an ex demo canon 5D mark II for £250 is also making me happy and hoping for a quick recovery.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
a demo 5D MkII for £250!!!! that sounds like a stolen camera price to me - be careful
Think possitive Scott and I wish you a speedy recovery mate.
Thanks for your your words of encouragement, I need them that's for sure, having a slightly crabbier evening and stupidly it's down to my sling not sitting properly It's amazing what can annoy you at times like these.
The camera is direct from canon and it's a friend of a friend who is a director at canon in the USA who is hopefully going to be sorting me up I do hope I get it, if not well will just have to sell myself on the street corners will be doing so for the rest if my life if that's the case
Think positively Collar bones fix fairly quickly and were only half way through March and the summer hasn't even started yet! A new camera at that price is sure to put a smile on anyone's mush!.......It won't be long before you'll be out and about using it. Just don't try and ride your bike at the same time Get well soon and keep yer pecker up, things could be an awful lot worse, trust me
Quote: things could be an awful lot worse, trust me
I'll second that!
I managed to start training in January (at 2 degrees). So far I've managed to avoid collisions with things bigger than myself and, after doing virtually nothing last year, am finally starting to feel my fitness levels increasing. I'm sure it won't be long before you are able to go out for a gentle ride.
In the mean time, to keep yourself happy you really need to sell that rubbish Canon stuff and buy yourself a Nikon!
Thanks everyone for positive suggestions and even the sell your rubbish canon stuff brought a smile to my face I know things could be worse but i'm entitled to a little moan
I got a bike catalogue through the post today which is just teasing I love my biking as much as my photography so can't wait to heal and get back on the bike, plus I was half way through building a new one
Great to hear Ian, there is nothing better than that feeling you get when your fitness increases, you can do so much more without getting out of breath. Hope you keep at it mate
Helpful Post!
Quote: Great to hear Ian, there is nothing better than that feeling you get when your fitness increases, you can do so much more without getting out of breath. Hope you keep at it mate
We didn't do a long distance ride last year and with the situation at work my motivation went down the pan I was determined not to let that happen this year and was out as soon as the Christmas pudding settled. I'm hoping to do the Way of the Roses route in August, so my target is to get up Parbold Hill without stopping or needing an iron lung at the top (about 1½ miles of 14%). Living in Southport it's difficult finding a hill to cycle up.
I've just thought actually, if it is your collar bone you broke just get them to set the cast in the correct shape for you to hold the handlebars!
I just had a look at that Way of Roses route and that sounds like pretty good fun, hard fun though , it even takes you through the Yorksire dales which I've always wanted to cycle. Good luck with your training because if you don't have much in the way of hills you may have to travel to local trails which have a slight incline. I know how you feel with motivation, It's difficult sometimes to feel motivated all the time and especially as work can get in they way of it unfortunately.
Being from Scotland that's something that I have on my door step so every cycle I do I have to take into consideration a few tough climbs. However I'm always traveling to a place called Glentress in Peebles which is just amazing, even if you unfortuanately fall off and injure yourself If you pop up to Scotland you should try out some of the 7stanes routes, they're amazing fun.
When I head off to the fracture clinic on Friday I'll suggest that cast, may draw up a few templates for them to consider
being a bit of an exercise fan myself I wish you all the best in getting back to full health and fitness; I have had a Winter of various aches and pains limiting my running however bad things as well as good things come to an end and I am back running and feeling loads better.

First Tube
Music: Anastasio, Lawton, Markellis
Vocals: Instrumental
Original Artist: Trey Anastasio
Albums: Farmhouse, Live Phish 05, Still Phishin', High Neighbors: Dub Tribute to Phish, Plasma, Original Boardwalk Style
Debut: 1999-09-09
Historian: Martin Acaster (Doctor_Smarty)
Last Update: 2011-07-13
The name with which this blistering rocker ultimately became adorned is a misnomer on two counts. Apparently "First Tube" owes its title to the belief that it was the first song Trey performed with the 8-Foot Fluorescent Tubes at Higher Ground (4/17/98). If the version released on Farmhouse is any indication of the original composition of the tune, then it was in fact preceded at the Higher Ground show by a brief instrumental prelude. Furthermore, the 8-Foot Fluorescent Tubes version actually featured lyrics of a sort – lyrics, which further compound the misidentification of the song. Following some introductory banshee-like wails from Heloise Williams (formerly of viperHouse), the phrase "Free Thought" is repeated incessantly over the wailing combo of Anastasio, Lawton, and Markellis. "Free Thought" (a.k.a. "Mozambique") of course being the title of another TAB song that also ultimately made it into the Phish repertoire.
"First Tube" 8' Fluorescent Tubes - 4/17/98, Burlington, VT
Despite the inherent confusion of its identity – prior to its formal identification on Farmhouse – "First Tube" had quickly become a fan favorite. So much so in fact that nary a complaint was heard about the song being overplayed following its 9/9/99 debut, typically not the case when a new song is so frequently revisited after its first appearance. This curious response is likely due to just how electrifying the song can be. Often getting the call as a show opener, "First Tube" is guaranteed to crank up the energy level of the crowd a couple of extra notches.
The incandescent liquid metallic fire of the song usually causes Trey to bounce higher than he does when jumping on the tramps and at times (e.g. Radio City Music Hall 5/21/00) has even incited Pete Townshend-style rock guitar god pinwheel strumming. The fat groove dropped by Mike and Fish is guaranteed to make a dancer out of even the most rhythm-less among us as Trey's soaring guitar and Page's neo-medieval trance-space keyboard fills carry stray thoughts to where they truly can be set free. Anybody who does not like "First Tube" just does not know how to have a good time. If you do, feel free to call on the following pre-hiatus Phish performances: 9/12/99 Portland, OR; 10/10/99 TAFKAK; 12/18/99 Hampton; 6/9/00 Tokyo, Japan; 6/28/00 GSAC, 7/11/00 Deer Creek, and 10/7/00 Shoreline. In 2001 "First Tube" garnered Phish their first Grammy nomination in the category "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" (losing out to Metallica, Michael Kamen and the San Francisco Symphony's "The Call of Ktulu."
"First Tube" – 5/23/00, New York, NY
During the hiatus, "First Tube" remained a TAB staple. A 6/4/02 Red Rocks version of "First Tube" was released by Trey on Plasma, a two-disc collection of live tracks compiled from the big band incarnation of Trey's 2002 campaigns. Trey's side project versions of "First Tube" on 5/31/02 in Las Vegas and 10/22/02 in Burlington featured guest appearances by Page. Fishman joined Trey and his band for the entire 6/16/02 Darien Lake show wherein "First Tube" was the first set closer. Although not as common since the hiatus as before it, "First Tube" made one appearance per 2003 tour: winter (3/1/03 Greensboro), summer (7/13/03 The Gorge), 20th anniversary (11/28/03 Nassau) and New Year's (12/31/03 Miami). The latter included an "Auld Lang Syne" tease.
"First Tube" remained a fixture of Trey's solo adventures – big band TAB, 70 Volt Parade, and Classic TAB – after Phish "broke up" in 2004, appearing over 60 times between 2004 and 2008. Notable Trey performances of "First Tube" include the 11/8/05 Roseland performance which was a second encore featuring guest appearances by Page, Peter Apfelbaum, and John Medeski; the 10/11/06 Electric Factory encore version which was preceded by a bass duel between Mike and Tony Hall while Trey played keyboards; and the 10/21/08 Lupo's encore which included Bill Kreutzmann on drums, Russ Lawton moving to percussion, Oteil Burbridge replacing Tony Markellis on bass, and Scott Murawski on additional guitar.
"First Tube" – 12/4/09, New York, NY
Upon Phish's 2009 return for their 3.0 incarnation, "First Tube" would make a strong return. First dusted off mid-second set at Hampton (3/6/09), on its next dozen appearances in 2009 and 2010 it would be used exclusively as a set closer or encore, including at high-profile gigs such as 6/14/09 Bonnaroo, 8/1/09 Red Rocks, 12/4/09 MSG and 7/4/10 Atlanta. 2011 witnessed similar positioning, including a top-off to the 6/12/11 redemption encore at Merriweather, and the exclamation to SBIX – with requisite fireworks – on 7/3/11.
Recommended Versions: 1999-09-12, 1999-10-10, 2000-05-21, 2000-06-09, 2000-06-28, 2000-10-07, 2003-03-01, 2003-12-31, 2009-08-01

For those interested in hearing a very early (and perhaps the first?) glimpse of First Tube, check out the the Halley's jam from 7/10/98 in Barcelona. Trey plays the main riff a few times midway through the jam (great show overall, by the way).Holy SHIT!!!! That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing! First Tube is my favorite Phish song and this jam is SICK! LOVE it!
And judging by how long Mike used to stick with the basic bassline in Sand jams, I'd assume that he enjoys playing that well. The bass is a rhythm instrument first and foremost, songs like First Tube & Sand showcase a Mike Gordon getting back to the roots and playing shaman music.

When you're pregnant in the summer, there's simply nothing better than floating around in a refreshing swimming pool. Of course, for many of us, there's also almost nothing worse than trying to find a bathing suit we like -- pregnant or not.
For some women, pregnancy gives them more confidence in their bodies. They love their fuller boobs and curves, and embrace them with bikinis skimpier and more revealing than ever. I have one friend who never wore a bikini in her life until she was pregnant -- then she rocked one. Others just aren't quite so comfortable showing off all of their growing parts and are looking for maximum coverage. The good news is that there are plenty of maternity swimsuits out there that work with all body types and tastes. Here are 10 of the hottest maternity swimsuits for pregnant ladies looking to stay cool this summer.
What kind of swimsuits do you/did you wear while pregnant?
Image via Gap
When I was pregnant both times, I simply wore my biggest two piece. I didnt buy a new suit that I'll only wear maybe a dozen times and then have no use for it. What I did wear looks a lot like the third picture but its a solid color, light teal, and is cut less conservatively than that picture.

You're going to hear a lot more about what the insiders call "P3" in the days and years to come — and at least one Atlanta law firm is ready to pounce.
I'm talking about public-private partnerships — a financial arrangement that is becoming more popular as state, local and federal governments wrestle with fiscal crunches.
"P3 is gaining in popularity because it's a solution to funding constraints. Governments still have to provide services," said Jeff Haidet, chairman of the McKenna Long & Aldridge law firm, which specializes in helping companies navigate the twists and turns of doing business with government.
The politically connected firm boasts a roster that includes Howard Dean and Zell Miller as consultants, as well as full-timers with Republican and Democratic pedigrees. Among the local ones are Gordon Giffin (former U.S. ambassador to Canada in the Clinton administration), Eric Tanenblatt (former chief of staff for Gov. Sonny Perdue) and Steve Labovitz (former chief of staff for Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell). Last year, the firm posted $277 million in revenue from 10 offices.
P3 projects run the gamut. Governments need money to rehabilitate their infrastructures, provide better transportation, build new facilities and finance other projects they can't afford. But kicking the can down the curb only means the work will cost taxpayers more money later. At some point, roads, bridges and sewers have to be repaired or built.
One alternative — get private companies to foot part of the bill, which many are willing to do as long as they can share in some of the revenue. In this case, we're generally not talking about handing over the levers of control to a private firm to run an entire operation, Haidet said. Some sort of joint venture usually emerges, depending on the type of project financed.
"It has a lot of different faces," he said.
Some of the local faces include toll roads, the proposed multi-modal transit hub and related development downtown and a possible new stadium for the Falcons.
Across the country, Haidet said, the projects have involved companies that help finance new courthouses for a share of the concession and restaurant revenue, or supply the equipment to catch drivers going through red lights for part of the ticket revenue. On the federal level, private companies are building military housing in exchange for the lease revenue, Haidet said.
"It creates a lot of opportunity, and that's where businesses need our guidance," Haidet, 51, said.
For 60 years, McKenna Long has made a specialty of government work, partly by tapping the expertise of former politicians and insiders. In the past, that meant helping companies gain government contracts or deal with regulators. It also has meant lobbying.
But three years ago, Haidet said, the firm started to focus on P3 as governments faced intensifying budget problems. One advantage in such deals is that there are plenty of ways to structure them so both sides can benefit, he said.
"All kinds of permutations are possible," Haidet said. "We're betting on the fact that it's going to be an accepted way of doing business."
With cash-strapped governments, my guess is that it will.

What a crock!
"Public-private partnerships" are just another specious argument for enriching private parties with tax-payer dollars. We all know who gets left holding the bag of ….
Or maybe not…(yeah right!)… just look at the success of all the tax-payer subsidized sports arenas.

Fascism by another name.
Government uses the power of the gun, the regulation, the threat of prison, etc. to maintain its monopoly position in certain "services." Yes, they fail miserably in everything they do, and thanks to the monopoly no real true competition can rise up and put them out of business. So when they fail as they always do they come up with schemes to transfer their monopoly to a private business that will profit heavily, abuse the customers, prevent competition, and ultimately transfer all liability back to the taxpayers one way or the others. So called conservatives also like to call this "privatization."
Yet another argument against government and its monopoly on power.

Anything for progress in this backward looking state. It's a shame it has come to this. If corporate America doesn't get off the sidelines we're going to have to take it even further and start confiscating factories scheduled for closing and form consortiums of government, unions and financiers to run them.

If you happen to be in the market for a new phone on Sprint in the near future, you might want to hold off for a couple days. TechnoBuffalo reports that the Now Network is getting ready to launch a promotion on August 12th—and continuing until September 30th—that will offer customers a free ZTE Optik tablet when they purchase any new smartphone. Yes, any new smartphone. Including the free Galaxy Nexus for new users ($99 for upgrading customers).
We've received some interesting information from an insider at Carphone Warehouse suggesting that a black version of Samsung's Galaxy S III is in the works, and we're inclined to trust it. Here's our evidence, from the company's internal product database:
If you recall, way back when the Galaxy S III was but a rumor-laden twinkle in our collective eyes, GSMArena received a similar leak from inside Carphone Warehouse confirming the white and blue colors the phone was launched in.

CyanogenMod is a pretty big deal in the Android modding world, and there's a good reason for that: it's fast, lean, well-featured, and supports a ton of devices that manufacturers have abandoned. When Android 4.0 was released, the CM team made it clear that CM9 (based on ICS) would be a long time in the making, as they were going to focus on doing everything properly and cleaning up the code.
You can always rely on Gamevil to create engaging little games that will eat up your free time. In that spirit, Gamevil has released a new game on Google Play called Freekick Battle. This title has easy-to-master controls and a single goal: to err... score goals. All that other soccer stuff is out the window, though. All you're doing here is taking free kicks. It's just you and the defenders.
The controls are very simple, so after a few minutes you'll get the hang of it.
If you keep up with the wider electronics world, you know that Apple has introduced a proprietary streaming protocol for its computers and mobile devices called AirPlay. If you're one of the surprisingly large number of people who combines Apple and Android hardware, you'll want to check out Android HIFI, the pet project of an XDA Developers member. The app turns your Android device into an AirPlay receiver, allowing you to play music or standard audio from Mac or iOS hardware.
In a post to its "Inside Search" blog, Google announced today that several improvements are currently being rolled out to mobile search (for phones and tablets), making some of the engine's quick answers "richer, more beautiful, and more interactive."
In the recent past, users have enjoyed improvements to weather and calculator searches, with handy interactive cards (reminiscent of Google Now's visual style).
Google is now updating a heaping handful of other quick answer features including finance, currency conversion, unit conversion, dictionary definitions, local time lookup, and holiday and sunrise times.
I've written more than a few of these giveaways for products covering just about every aspect of Android development, and written by dozens of authors. But this one... well, this is special, because it's a series of LiveLessons from none other than former Android Police contributor Ian Clifton.

I know I'm starting off with a question here that most Android fans are going to have a knee-jerk reaction to - "absolutely not, the more Android-powered smart-stuff out there the better." After all, we want to live in a world where our refrigerators know what's inside them, where our laundry lets us know on our phones when it's done, and our cars' infotainment systems aren't so god-effing-awful (even the best ones really are terrible).

A.D.O.R. was supposed to back up those successes with the completed full-length The Concrete; unfortunately, adversity soon struck. His production and management deals collapsed, and Atlantic decided to shelve the record. Castellanos rebounded by forming Tru Reign Records and inaugurated his new label with another Rock-produced single, "Enter the Center," in 1996. It sold remarkably well for an indie record and earned strong radio support, leading to the release of his official debut album, Shock Frequency, in 1998. The next year, Tru Reign signed a national deal with Nile Rodgers' Sumthing Distribution, which put out the second A.D.O.R. album, Animal 2000. In 2003, a pair of additional albums arrived, the compilation of hits and exclusive tracks, Classic Bangerz, Vol. 1, and an all-new studio album, Signature of the Ill. ~ Stanton Swihart, Rovi

Pollo the Robot: Why don't you just do what Superboy-Prime did and punch the wall?
Linkara: Oh, I tried that already, Pollo. I ended up hitting the wall for like half an hour and the only thing I got out of it was that Donna Troy got a new origin and Doctor Insano became a guy.
Pollo the Robot: Um, Doctor Insano was always a guy.
Linkara: Yeah, just keep telling yourself that.An example of a Retcon caused by forces within the story itself, usually using Time Travel of some sort to alter history. Rarely is it used purely as a dramatic device; the real function is to paper over continuity gaps and mistakes. For example, let's say that the author of a novel series was dissatisfied at the way she'd killed off a character in an earlier book. Instead of just having him show up and explain that he was Only Mostly Dead, she has the other characters pulled back in time by an evil plan of the Big Bad; in the process, they manage to prevent the events that lead to death of the character, and when they get back, ta-da! There he is, good as new. Whether or not characters will remember the pre-retconned state depends on the story. Often (especially lately), Cosmic Retconning is the go-to method for demolishing Continuity Lock-Out and drawing in a younger audience. As a rule of thumb, superhero movies are the hottest way to increase readership; thus, the new canon should conform to whatever is playing in theaters or on television. See also Ret Canon. A potential downside to this trope, of course, is that it can invoke a strong sense of Shoot the Shaggy Dog on previous stories in the franchise. Moreover, if the old versions of the characters see the end coming for their world and realize that, at best, they can only save the universe by drastically changing it (perhaps erasing countless people from existence and rewriting the personalities of the survivors), the results can be pure Nightmare Fuel — and also possibly a source of severe Mood Whiplash if either the outgoing or incoming universe is notably more "carefree and innocent" than the other. Note that this applies only to actual retcons; something like Back to the Future, where changing the past is part of the original thrust of the story, doesn't count.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I retained Bernabei & Wachtel over a year ago in a federal civil rights matter after I called the "Who's Who" of federal defense attorneys, and repeatedly received a "Oh we don't handle THOSE kinda cases" or a "I dunno if we're the right firm/comfortable handing those types of federal cases" replies. And I'm glad that happened...cuz otherwise I mighta ended up retaining the wrong (inexperienced) attorney.
Lynne of Bernabei & Wachtel was always available and responsive throughout the progression of my case, and has been & continues to be very helpful with very important advice and direction on the correct steps to take along the way.
With the decades of experience & expert advice provided by Lynne of Bernabei & Wachtel, I can - for the first time - say that things have and continue to get better for me.
So if you want high profile attorneys who are all show and no go, look elsewhere. If you want the REAL DEAL, who will take on the toughest of cases that others won't, and will take care of whatever needs to get done, look no further than Bernabei & Wachtel.
I talked to several attorneys before I decided that Lynn Bernabei could have my case, she called me and requested a pre consultation fee of $300.00 to decide if I had a case that had merit, my case was EEO and federal employment related. I finally relented and allowed her to be my attorney and she told me that after $8000.00 that she would go to a contingency fee agreement, she used up my retainer of $5000.00 and then drop my case to a junior attorney who knew very little about employment law, Every month when I got my bill I would send an e mail and request that she explain my case to me , and every month I would hear from the junior attorney saying that Ms. Bernabei would call me about my bill, each time she called me about my bill she charged me for the call and up to date we have not resolved my bill. The junior attorney dropped an action in the middle of the case and said that she would not be filing an appeal for me, this left me without an attorney and I had to file the appeal myself. I received a letter from Ms. Bernabei stating that if I won my appeal she expected to be paid. I would not recommend this attorney.

There were 14m unemployed workers in August. The $447b stimulus package could be used to generate a check of almost $32,000 to each and every one of them. As a condition of receiving that check, they would be asked to work at some organization, for profit or nonprofit, for one year. These jobs would last just as long as the stimulus package and some of them would no doubt turn into real jobs. Isn't this a plan everyone could support?

For victim-turned-guide, Iraq gas attack still vivid
An Iraqi Kurd man walks past grave stones as he visits in a grave yard for the victims of the Halbja gas attack gas attack on March 16, 2014 - by Safin Hamed
The 40-year-old vividly recalls the horrifying period more than a quarter century ago when his family was killed by a gas attack launched by the regime of former dictator Saddam Hussein, believed to be the worst ever against civilians.
Now, he walks groups of tourists, visiting civil servants and students around a monument dedicated to the attack in the northern Kurdish town of Halabja, which lies in Iraq's autonomous northern Kurdish region, a short drive from neighbouring Iran.
"I want to convey the story of Halabja to people both outside and inside Kurdistan," Rashid says. "I want to tell them that Halabja is not a city of one incident or event.
"It is a city of many calamities and disasters."
As Iraq's eight-year war with Iran was coming to an end, Kurdish peshmerga rebels, with Tehran's backing, took over the farming community of Halabja.
The Iraqi military bombed the area, forcing the rebels to retreat into the surrounding hills, leaving their families behind.
Then, at 11:35 am (0835 GMT) on March 16, 1988, Iraqi jets swooped over the town, spraying a cocktail of chemical agents including mustard gas that left residents writhing and coughing up green vomit before dying in agony.
An estimated 5,000 people were killed, three-quarters of them women and children.
Just a teenager at the time, Rashid remembers his family piling into a pick-up truck to try to escape. Apart from him, however, everyone died of suffocation.
He has a photograph of the truck packed with around 25 dead villagers, including members of his family, stopped on the road with the driver slumped over the wheel.
"When we escaped Halabja, we saw many martyrs on the streets, but we could not help them because we had already been affected by the chemical gas," he says.
He himself briefly slipped into a coma, to the point that rescue workers thought he had also died and placed him in a coffin before he awoke again.
- 'Chemical Ali' hanged -
The man who ordered the attack, Saddam's enforcer Ali Hassan al-Majid, better known by his macabre nickname "Chemical Ali," was hanged for the crime in January 2010.
Majid said he took action against the Kurds, who had sided with Iraq's enemy Iran in the war, for the sake of Iraqi security, and refused to express remorse.
Officials marked the anniversary of the attack in 2012 by handing local authorities in Halabja the rope used to hang Majid, and last year commemorated the 25th anniversary of the killings.
Memories of the gas attack flooded back last summer, when the Syrian regime allegedly carried out a chemical weapons attack near Damascus that killed hundreds.
Threatened with military action by Washington over the incident, Syria's government agreed to turn over its chemical arsenal.
"When I was watching the television and saw what happened in Syria, I began to cry," Rashid recalls. "I saw my parents, my sisters my brothers, when they died.
"I felt they went through the same as our suffering, during the dictator's regime."
"I cannot forget that tragedy."
Indeed, rather than try to forget the killings, Halabja's residents have sought to openly commemorate them.
A cemetery bears the names of all those who died on headstones, whether or not their bodies were found, with a small monument at the entrance depicting a woman apparently praying for the victims.
And at the monument where Rashid works, which lies on the edge of the town, visitors are taken through a small hallway where pictures of the attack line the walls, while necklaces, watches and other possessions belonging to the victims are on display.
"It is an honour for me to work here, to tell people about this tragedy for future generations," Rashid says.
"Despite all the pain in this work, I want to work here, to tell the history of what happened in Halabja, and how I lost my family."

I've been eagerly anticipating the release of this book for quite some time. Of course, there's a bit of a hurricane going on at the moment, so it's hard to say BUY MY BOOK BUY MY BOOK…but then again, if you have power, you probably need something to read, right? Right.
So here's why you should buy this book: It's arguably the most fun I've had writing a book (though CARE AND FEEDING gave it a close run for its money). I just loved writing every page of this book. Sara and Ramsey were so much fun that I could have written two or three books about them. I'm hoping everyone else loves this one as much as I did!
Is your new pack driving you a little crazy? Tired of all those wolves in sheep's clothing? Let me be your fierce protector.
Me: A strong, silent type who doesn't care much about the creature comforts.
You: Sweet as honey. No such thing as too big or too small— you're just right.
Let's take things slow. I'll start as your bodyguard, but hopefully soon I'll shift into your mate. You need a man who's born to be wild, and I'm ready to protect you from all the wolf pack can throw in your direction. Don't be afraid of your animal side. Show me yours, and I'll show you mine.
Pocket Star – Simon & Schuster | On Kindle | On Amazon | On B&N | Book Depository | Powells | Books-A-Million | Goodreads
I hope you enjoy!

An Evolving Living Room
We like the idea of living room as gallery with an ever changing exhibition -- not easy (or practical for most of us) to pull off, but clearly a nice way to enjoy your home!
Via: The Mid Century Modernist

I too like the idea that rooms evolve {esp. as a gallery space} but I have to say I like the Jan 2008 version the best. It looks the most cohesive and inviting...
but it is a great space with great pieces in any version...
I'm in love with the January 2008 room. Its beautiful!
I like Nov 2006 the best -imagine a little party, plenty of chairs. I could just stare at this room forever!
Gosh, I wander what happens to all of those chairs once they get tired of them. I'll take one or two. I especially love the new Bonaldo loungers. One of them would work wonderfully in my apt.

Found February 06, 2013 on NFL Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Locker
TEAMS: Tennessee Titans
TEAMS: Tennessee Titans
Titans backup QB Matt Hasselbeck mentioned that he's open to restructuring his contract if needed. "I would definitely be up for that, for sure," Hasselbeck said, per John Glennon of The Tennessean. "I'm not in those conversations, but I'm aware of them. That topic came up maybe in September, October, November (of 2012), somewhere in there." Hasselbeck, 37, has a $5.5 million base salary for the 2013 season and counts $7.5 million against the Titan's salary cap. That's a sizable contract for a backup quarterback. Last year, Hasselbeck tallied 1,367 yards passing, seven touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games for Tennessee. Jake Locker didn't exactly play as well as many believed he could have, so it makes sense for the Titans to have a decent backup option on their roster. The post Matt Hasselbeck Open To Restructuring His Contract appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Timeless Design: 7 Classic Clocks
Daylight savings time is ending this coming weekend, and the best news is that we gain an extra hour of sleep. Computerized clocks like the ones on our phones, tablets, or computers now make the time change automatically, but it is still nice to have an old fashioned analog clock in the home.
Clocks come in just about any shape and style imaginable, but mid-century style clocks still seem just as fresh as they did half a century ago. These clocks make the perfect wall accent for any kitchen or home office.
1. Kit Cat Clock from Kit Cat, $49.99
2. Mondaine Swiss Rail Clock from MOMA, $395
3. Vintage London Office Clock from Restoration Hardware, $229
4. 1960s IBM 13.5" Standard Issue Clock from School House Electric, $245
5. Roman Clock by Arne Jacobson from Skandium, £159
6. Nelson Ball Clock from Design Within Reach, $375
7. Mini Flip Wall Clock from Urban Outfitters, £150

Can anyone recommend a good alarm clock? I use my phone for my personal alarm, but would like to buy an alarm clock for our guest room. They are all hideous.
Classic Braun
Almost the same exact clock as #4 is also available at ikea for $15--the pugg: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10098987/
I used to hat a Kit Kat clock, I think I paid $12 for it NEW! I've also seen them selling for $25 other places...so $50 seems a bit outrageous to me! Also, I have a large wall clock similar design to #7 that i purchased on ebay for about $85.
We got a brilliant new clock through our subscription to The Thing quarterly (a quarterly art subscription): http://www.thethingquarterly.com/quarterly/issue-20-tauba-auerbach.html
It's a 24-hour wall clock and it works perfectly!
I like #2 because it is the only one I'd be able to see from across the room. I am turning into Miss Magoo in my old age.
For unobtrusive, classic, attractive, and last-forever, I recommend the Moon Beam by Big Ben. It comes in a lot of colors but the pale yellow has been traditional because it goes with the idea of sun coming up. The clock has a light on the side, which you can turn off and on (which especially nice for guests) or set to wake you before or with the alarm. It's sold a lot of places. LLBean is one I know for sure. I've also seen vintage ones on eBay that are bakelite and don't have an LED light, of course.
I used to have an old Kit Cat Clock that plugged into the wall in my bedroom as a child. It scared the crap out of me at night and I had to beg my parents to get rid of it.
I really love the knockoff George Nelson clocks by Verichron/Kirch/Control Brand. They're so much cheaper than the Vitra versions and look almost exactly the same. In fact, I've got a whole collection. If you want to see real pictures and reviews rather than the tiny stock images the online stores post, check them out on my blog:
Personally, my favorites are the spike and diamond clock.

UN watchdog urges Russia to repeal 'gay propaganda' law
Gay rights activists take part in a joint opposition rally called, "March against Hatred" in the Russia's second city of St. Petersburg, on November 2, 2013 - by Olga Maltseva
Rather than protecting children, the laws "encourage stigmatisation of and discrimination against LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons, including children and children living in LGBT families," said Maria Herczog of the Committee on the Rights of the Child.
"The very vague definition of propaganda leads to the targeting and ongoing persecution of the country's LGBT community, including abuse, violence, in particular against underage rights activists," she told reporters.
Herczog's comments came as the 18-member UN panel of independent experts from around the globe issued a report on Russia's respect for the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in which it urged the country to repeal the laws.
The legislation, signed by President Vladimir Putin last year, has provoked international criticism and protests over Russia's hosting of the Winter Olympics, including calls for a boycott.
The committee also called for an end to "attempts to diagnose transsexuality as psychiatric disease".
By coincidence, the report was made public the same day the founder of a Russian help website for LGBT teenagers said she had been charged under the legislation, the third person charged under the law.
The UN committee also questioned a blanket ban on US citizens adopting Russian children -- the so-called "Dima Yakovlev" law of 2012, named after a baby who died of heat stroke after his American adoptive family left him for hours in a car.
The law has been seen as a response to a US law of the same year that imposed sanctions on Russian officials involved in a tax fraud case exposed by Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in custody in 2009.
The committee said Russia should avoid a "political agenda" and that adoptions should be considered on a case-by-case basis with proper screening of potential parents.
"The law has deprived numbers of children in care institutions, for instance children with disabilities, from the prospect of adoption and the opportunity to live in a family environment," said Herczog.
"We all know that inter-country adoption is a very controversial issue, but in this case, this is not serving the best interest of children."

How to sort Google Search results by date
Posted Date: 15-Dec-2011
Last Updated:
Web Search
Google search is an amazing tool on internet that help you find the information you want. The results are usually sorted by relevance, but it would be great if you could sort the results by date. In this article, I will discuss how to find posts from a specific time period, even though it is not really possible to sort the search results by date.
Google search is one of the tools that I can't live without. Starting from finding the nearest restaurant, I do use Google search extensively to find the current time Texas, currency conversion value, find news and articles posted in a specific time frame and so on.
Few years ago, Google search was just a tool to search websites. Now it has evolved from a search tool to an advanced tool that help you find almost anything you want, including
sort search results by date
I used to live in Texas and still have a lot of friends there. However, currently being in India, I always get confused on what is the current time in Texas, especially during the day light saving time. I do not want to wake up people in sleep, so before I make phone calls to my friends in Texas, I would open my browser (which is usually open all the time) and type:
What time is it in Texas
Google will display the current time in Texas in the top of the search results page. No need to open your clock and change time zone to find time of any state/city in the world. No need to open any websites. Google know what exactly you are looking for and it will be shown to you.
Similar query works to find the currency conversion rates. Simply search the following in Google:
100US$ in INR
Google will show the Indian Rupee value of 100US$.
With little efforts, you can master the Google search tricks.
How to sort Google search results by date
When you search for information in Google or other search engines like Bing, the information displayed in search results is sorted by relevance. Search engines will show most relevant information in the top. That is what most of the times we all want.
However, there may be cases where you want to find information during a specific time period. For example, if you want to find TOFEL exam related announcements during a specific time period, it is hard to get the expected results through a normal Google search.
Sorting search results by date
is a great advantage in such cases.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to sort Google search results by date. One of the reasons Google cannot provide the search results sorted by time is, it cannot find the exact date and time the content was published. Instead, Google can only depend on the time it found the content on the web or certain meta tags used in the web pages which tells Google what time it was published. However, Google cannot fully rely on the time given in the meta tags since webmasters may attempt to trick the search engines by providing wrong time to take best advantage of search engine traffic. So, Google uses a combination of data to determine the publication time of content and include those information in the search results if it finds the information is reliable.
When you search for information in the web, you may notice that some of the search results are displayed along with the time and some others are shown without any date and time.
If Google is able to determine the time of publishing based on reliable information, it would show the search results along with the date and time.
Find content published during a time period
Even though it is not possible to search Google search results by date, you can still find content published during a specific time period. You can choose a start date and end date and ask Google to show only results published during that time period. The results are still sorted by relevance and not sorted by date, but the results would include only content published during the specific date range.
Follow the steps below to filter search results to the content published during a specific date range:
1. Open your browser and go to Google.com
2. Type the query you want to search.
3. Look at the leftbar of the search results. Scroll down and look for "Show search tools". Click on this link to see more search options.
4. You will options like Any Time, Past Hour, Past 24 Hours, Past Week and so on. You may click on one of this links to see search results of the content published during those specific times.
If you want to search for content published during a timeframe, click on "custom range". It will allow you to specify a start date and end date.

You failed to mention the fact that once you have specified a search range or time-frame, Google then gives you the option of sorting those results by relevance or date.

Google sucks. They started out okay years ago but now everything is more difficult than it could be so they are wasting your time. Just exactly like Microsoft in many respects.

Blogger Cheri Liefeld of Adventures in the Kitchen makes a fresh-tasting hot dog relish with peaches and red bell pepper.
Make sure peaches are ripe but still firm. Avoid using soft peaches for this recipe.
For even more peach flavor, brush hot dogs with peach preserves while grilling before serving with this relish.
Refrigerating the relish for a while before serving will allow the flavors to blend.
