Too Many Issues Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternen
At first I really like this add-on and still do, but ever since using it there just have been problems over time such as the channel list not auto-updating and multiple times when updating the add-on it deletes the channels I follow. And now it has done it again. It just too much of a hassle doing this every few months.
I sadly let through a bug every now and then (like auto update being unreliable), but it should never've just delted the channels, unless the database was corrupted (which is either Firefox crashing or something similar going wrong). However I do feel like the past few updates have been way more stable (yes, the last update had some very quick patches until everything worked again). Further I am surprised that you just got an update, since the last update has been long ago.
DouyuTV Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternen
How do you add a user from DouyuTV to the channel list? The number in the URL will not work at all.Dieser Benutzer hat eine ältere Bewertung zu diesem Add-on.
Thank you for the tip, apparently the DouyuTV API changed. I don't really follow DouyuTV, because I don't understand anything on it (other than basic visual language) and because I have thus not found where such announcements would be made.
Fantastic Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternen
This is a fantastic addon, now one of the ones I can't live without. I can pretty much always rely on this to work and notify me right when a stream starts.
I do have one issue: the notification that pops up completely obscures the chatbox where you type on Twitch for me. It would be nice if there were a way (unless there is and I just don't know about it) to change the location of the popup and possibly the duration of how long before it fades as well.
Nice to hear that it works like it should :)
Sadly I cannot control where notifications show up, that's something that differs from operating system to operating system, and if configurable is decided by Firefox. I don't think there's any way as an extension showing a notification to give a hint where it should be shown.
Actually really handy but.. Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternen
To me its a super handy tool cause im shit at keeping track of when people i want to watch does stream, though the main reason why im giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because adding youtube channels does not seem to work. Well, either it doesnt work or im doing it wrong.
The problem with youtube is that there are many ways to refer to a channel and it can sometimes be pretty complicated to figure out the one the extensions looks for, as explained on http://streamnotifier.ch/help/channels-manager/#youtube it takes the username in the URL. However there are like four different URL formats for channels. But it essentially isn't the name you see directly under videos and not the weird combination of letters and numbers, though I'm looking into also supporting adding by ID so all channels can be added, not just ones with an URL slug. If you have more questions, please contact me over one of the channels listed here: http://streamnotifier.ch/help/#contact
really good!! Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternen
really good addon easy to use and many features, but after awhile if you put a short update interval like 5 or 10 it will slow down firefox and will start to lag firefox, if I disable this addon it doesnt lag for me... I have an i7 and 8 gb ram, tried this addon on firefox 84x, waterfox and nightly all do the same...
EDIT: I didnt know that about the twitch API thanks for the reply very helpful amazing developer!! :D
I tried to reproduce this with around 40 channels from mixed providers in the latest development version (an older development version is available on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/justintv-stream-notificatio/versions/beta btw) and did notice a memory leak in the update queue. I'm investigating if I can do anything about it, or at least avoid it as much as possible.
Further each update will trigger an update to the panel, so updating this often will lead to constant update to the panel, which slows Firefox no matter what.
I also want to note that depending on the providers you're using and amount of channels such a small interval does not make sense. For example for twitch all channels are updated at once and the twitch API only updates the status of channels about every minute. On the other hand for youtube there is one request per channel, so if there are many youtube channels having an interval like 5 or 10 might make sense. The reason the extension doesn't update everything at once is to spread out the load on the APIs. If you send me details of the channels you have in your list to email@example.com I can help you optimize the preferences for your queue (including the hidden settings).
Awesome Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternen
It really is a great addon, the best out there for notifying you of live streams.
I did read your reply about the sound notification though and I don't really care if there would be two sounds playing at once, Is it possible to make that an option anyway? I just want to be notified I don't care how it sounds.
Notification Sounds 2
First of all, thank you for the review :)
As I've stated before I don't want to incorporate this into the extension. I've decided to create such an add-on myself, since I haven't been able to find one so far. You can try it out on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/notification-sound/
I'm also adding the link to it in many relevant places like this add-on's description or the FAQ on the website.
Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternen
Does what it promises, the notifications for the streams that I listed in the settings pop up reliable.
However, this addon also displays notifications for about 20 other twitch streams which I don't care about. I am not sure if these streams are the developer's recommendations, but since this is really annoying I'll give this addon only 4/5.
Edit: "Auto detect" is unchecked and I've tried to disable and enable the extension, the wrong notifications still pop up.
Edit2: I've got no about:config values which are called this way. Additionally, I've no Idea where you are gathering the bug reports.
Anyway, I recommend this other addon to every other user who has the same problem, since this one just displays the notifcations of the manually added channels (as it should): https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/twitch-live/?src=api
There shouldn't be any other channels observed other than the ones you entered. Do you have "Auto detect" checked? If so, maybe you have the credentials of a twitch account saved, which follows those channels.
If they still popup after disabling the option, try disabling and reenabling the extension.
Edit: Interesting... I am not sure if you'll get a notification for this edit, but I have no other means of helping you, since you decided to report a bug in a review, which isn't optimal...
The only way I could think off, that other channels would get into that list, is if you stillhad values in the about:config preferences justintvchannelList or justintvusernameList, which would be imported (but the imported values should be displayed in the settings). Genereally I'd expect these channels coming from some user's favorites, but it's pretty hard to tell just from the symptoms. The next (big) update should resolve such issues. Feel free to contact me at any time on firstname.lastname@example.com !
It's good, but it needs a sound notification. Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternen
This plugin is really good, and extremely helpful. The only problem I have with it is that you'll miss streams if you're not always looking at the browser. An optional sound cue would be very, very helpful for catching streams.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (22.214.171.124-signed) abgegeben.
Notification Sounds
I haven't replied to this so far because I've already addressed the idea of a notification sound in a response to an earlier review. However it is only fair to repeat my reasonning why I will not add such a feature to the extension.
The main reason is, that firefox tries to use the operating system's native notification system if possible. So it integrates with libnotify implementations that allow click actions on linux and the notification center on Mac OS X and I'm sure it will use the upcoming notification system in Windows 10, which was previously only available for modern UI apps. Most of these "native" notification systems use a sound by default. Sadly the API I'm using to play a notification doesn't allow me to override such a sound, so you'd get two sounds. Further I believe that a sound played upon a notification is the business of the operating system, since it knows (in most cases) when the user is notified. Now sometimes Firefox handles notification itself, but filtering for that case would be complex, and over all out of scope for this extension. I don't know if there are extensions for Firefox, that play a notification sound whenever a notification is displayed, however such an extension would be trivial to create and makes much more sense, as a user would only install it, if their notification system didn't play sounds but they'd like it to.
EDIT: See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/notification-sound/ for an extension that plays a sound whenever a notification is displayed.

I like how I can see a list of people I follow even though they're offline and how it sends me directly to the vods.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (18.104.22.168-signed) abgegeben.
Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternen
nice Add-on genau was ich gesucht habe.
Kannst du vielleicht noch irgendwie einen Benachrichtungston einbauen?
Danke für die Bewertung!
Theoretisch wäre es ohne (grössere) Probleme möglich einen Benachrichtigungston abzuspielen. Ich möchte das aber aus mehreren Gründen vermeiden: zum einen wird dann erwartet, dass es einen Standardton bei der Erweiterung dabei hat, was ich nicht will. Zudem ist der Benachrichtigungston eigentlich eine Sache des Benachrichtigungssystems des Betriebssystems.
not quite there Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternen
like the last reviewer said, random streams keep popping up for me. it was a minor annoyance at first but then it stopped displaying the streams that I actually follow.
For anyone having trouble with it auto-detecting your login information -- log out and log back in again on the site after you've installed this extension.
I'll try this addon again in the future to see if the bugs have been worked out and give another review but at this point it's just not there yet for my needs.
Should be fixed now
Thanks to MVNRS on GitHub I was able to isolate the issue and fix the bug. The version isn't fully reviewed by mozilla yet, but you can download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/justintv-stream-notificatio/versions/2.8.1 .
If you still miss something or something is weird for you, don't heasitate to contact me, open an issue on github etc.

Nice, But Faulty Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternen
Perhaps it may be because I use it primarily for Twitch but I have a few issues. 1: It gives me a list of a ton of other users I did not put in to follow (But I do like this because it allowed me to find some interesting streamers) and 2: It has a huge problem with not ever bringing up the notification that someone I follow is live and doesn't show some of my list that I know is live, as live.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (2.8.1-signed) abgegeben.

If you could be a little more specific about what doesn't work, I could possibly improove the extension. It's quite hard for me, who uses it regularily sucessfull, to determine, what the 90% of time are, when it doesn't work for you.
I look forward to improove the extension, so it works for everybody!
Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternen
Well I was originally really looking forward to this add-on. But then was completely disappointed when nothing on the addon worked at all.
I have tried using channels, and users, and automatic detection and not a single one caused the addon to detect anything. Even tried channels I knew were online and tried manually refreshing it. Tried every option the addon provided and regardless of that it would always just claim every channel was offline even when they were online.
I'm very sorryabout this
Sadly the extension is currebtly broken a lot, since the justin.tv API is having issues. I am working on a version which will fix the cases I can do something about it.
Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternen
works well, but all my followed streams show up as undefined so i cant tell who it is until i click on it. also, a way to hide offline streams would be nice.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (126.96.36.199-signed) abgegeben.
Should already be possible
You should already see a little arrow pointing to the top at the bottom of the panel. If you click it, it hides the list of offline channels.
The issue with the undefined names should be solved best possible with the next update.
Useful plugin Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternen
Previously I had problems with the "channels" field. However, after reading the response below I tried removing all stream IDs (17 streams) and then just entering a few. This worked, so I tried adding back all... which also worked! I don't know if the previous misshaps were because of some old version or whatnot, but after reentering the streams it seemlingly works just fine.Thanks for the response and for a very useful plugin!
Edit: Aww.. stopped working again. It seems that it stops working on a browser restart, which requires you to empty the "channels" field and fill it again.
Edit2: i can't get it to succeed/fail consistently :/ I'll just have to investigate a bit more.
HiThis is very concerning to me. It works solidly for me. A possible cause for the instability for you I could see would be the number of streams it is observing. I am thinking of optimizations in this section. I'd appreciate a quick feedback of how many channels you gave the extension to check.
Edit: Hm, that's strange. If you get any error output related to the extension (the message contains justintv-stream-notifications) in the error console (ctrl+shift+j), I'd appreciate to see it!
Good but needs work Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternen
It works, don't get me wrong. I like that I can finally use Firefox as a browser over Chrome. Yet, the add-on doesn't update in the 30 seconds it says it does (and I know that people are long done with streaming). Also, username detection is a bit flawed, probably in regards to the add-on having been primarily a Justin.tv live notifier and not a Twitch.tv one. The app is good, but not in five-star territory just yet.One more thing: it would be cool to be able to decide how long the notification box stays visible. I'm always frustrated in seeing the box in the corner of my eye, but missing who just went live because it's gone 3-5 seconds later.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (18.104.22.168-signed) abgegeben.
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for writing a nuanced review, what your current issues with the add-on are. The issues with streams not being marked as offline can have two causes: either you already used up your API contingent or the extension is still trying to fetch information for the channel.
The issue with the auto detection can have the same causes or the add-on can't get your username from the passwords database.
Sadly I can't control notifications at all, since I use the notifications of firefox in order to offer the best possible experience on each system (see the documentation: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/modules/sdk/notifications.html).
Very Nice Addon. Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternen
Works very well, but it would be nice if it showed the stream titles (in the toolbar button) instead the streamer account name so i can see what the streamer is doing, thanks.Diese Bewertung wurde für eine vorherige Version des Add-ons (22.214.171.124-signed) abgegeben.
I know, that it would be nice to see the stream title aswell. However replacing the channel name with it is no solution for me, since the channel icon is not big enought to be a clear distinction between channels. I tried tooltips, however they don't work in panels. I think, displaying further information on hover would be the best option. If you have suggestions how to implement this, or something else you want to let me know, contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I would really like to solve this issue for you.

You can't go wrong with this all inclusive hotel. I have been in Cancun many times, this hotel was the best so far. Very CLEAN.
Very nice rooms, they all have a balcony with an Ocean view. Beds are comfortable. They have elevators, but there are only two or three floors so you can easily walk up.
Excellent quality, the buffet is very good, it gets monotonous after a week. There were a few flies around the bread. They have other restaurants which breaks the monotony. They have the best burgers at the barbecue area next to the pool.
There are a couple of swimming pools, one with a swim up bar and also day beds all around. If you get up early enough you can get one for the day, but usually by 9:00 AM they are all taken.
They do some things by the pool during the day but there is no entertainment during evenings, which makes this hotel not as noisy as the others.
Fantastic. They now have a wide sandy area where they have a volleyball court. There are waves, but not strong enough to stop you from going in.
There are many shops within walking distance and you can also take the bus to the market. The buses are quite new, very handy, and safe.
All in all, I was very impressed with this hotel and will go back sometime in the future.

Primary Hypersomnia
- Author: Adrian Preda, MD; Chief Editor: Iqbal Ahmed, MBBS, FRCPsych(UK) more...
In 1966, William Dement proposed that patients with excessive daytime sleepiness, but without cataplexy, sleep paralysis, or sleep-onset rapid eye movement (REM), should not be considered narcoleptic.[3] In 1972, Roth et al described a type of hypersomnia with sleep drunkenness that consists of difficulty coming to complete wakefulness, confusion, disorientation, poor motor coordination, and slowness, accompanied by deep and prolonged sleep.[4] The abrupt sleep attacks seen in classic narcolepsy are not present in this disorder.
In comparison with narcolepsy, which is characterized by well-defined clinical, polysomnographic, and immunogenetic features, hypersomnolence is not well characterized.[5, 6]
In the literature, 3 possible subgroups of idiopathic CNS hypersomnia have been suggested.
Subgroup I
These patients have a positive family history, and associated clinical symptoms suggest dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. These symptoms include headache, syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and peripheral vasoconstriction (cold hands and feet).
Subgroup II
This group includes patients who had a viral infection associated with neurologic symptoms, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, infectious mononucleosis, or atypical viral pneumonia. Even after their infectious disease resolves, these patients continue to require significantly more nocturnal sleep and continue to feel very tired.
Although initially these patients are fatigued, they subsequently have difficulty differentiating fatigue from sleepiness. To fight tiredness, these patients nap and eventually present with complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness. Analysis of cerebral spinal fluid demonstrates moderate lymphocytosis (30-50 cells/µL with mild to moderate elevation in protein).
Subgroup III
These patients do not have a positive family or viral infection history, and the cause of the disorder truly is idiopathic.
Diagnostic criteria (DSM-5 and ICSD-2)
The specific DSM-5 criteria for hypersomnolence disorder are as follows:
Self-reported excessive sleepiness (hypersomnolence) despite a main sleep period of at least 7 hours, with at least one of the following symptoms: 1) Recurrent periods of sleep or lapses into sleep within the same day; 2) A prolonged main sleep episode of more than 9 hours per day that is nonrestorative; 3) Difficulty being fully awake after abrupt awakening.
The hypersomnolence occurs at least three times per week for at least 3 months.
The hypersomnolence causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning.
The hypersomnolence cannot be explained by the effects drug abuse or medication.
The nightmares cannot be attributed to another sleep disorder (i.e., narcolelpsy, breathing-related sleep disorder, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder, or parasomnia).
A coexisting mental disorder or medical condition does not adequately explain the hypersomnolence.
In addition, hypersomnolence disorder is specified by duration: acute (less than 1 month), subacute (1-3 months), persistent (more than 3 months); and by the severity based on degree of difficulty maintaining daytime alertness: mild (1-2 days a week), moderate (3-4 days a week), severe (5-7 days a week).
The American Sleep Disorders Association's International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Second Edition (ICSD-2) differentiates nine hypersomnia subtypes under the broader category of "hypersomnias of central origin", which includes two recurrent hypersomnias: Kleine-Levin syndrome (sleeping beauty syndrome) and menstrual-related hypersomnia.
In ICSD-2, p rimary hypersomnia can be classified as monosymptomatic or polysymptomatic. Isolated excessive daytime sleepiness that is not due to abnormal nocturnal awakenings characterizes the monosymptomatic form. The polysymptomatic form consists of abnormally long nocturnal sleep and signs of sleep drunkenness upon awakening.[8]
Recurrent primary hypersomnia
Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare disorder that starts during adolescence and has a male gender preference. The patients have recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, which are often associated with compulsive overeating and hypersexuality.[9] The periods of hypersomnia occur for days to weeks at a time and recur several times a year. In between the symptomatic periods, the patients have normal sleep requirements and do not have excessive daytime sleepiness. Some patients may develop symptoms of irritability, impulsive behavior, depersonalization, hallucinations, depression, and confusion. The etiology of this disorder is not known.[10, 11]
The disorder mainly affects males (68%). The median age of onset is 15 years (range, 4-82y; 81% during the second decade), and the syndrome may last up to 8 years. The episodes recur every 3-4 months and may last up to 10 days, but they may last longer in women. (See Epidemiology.)
KLS may be precipitated by infections (38.2%), head trauma (9%), or alcohol consumption (5.4%). Characteristic symptoms include the following[11] :
Hypersomnia - 100%
Cognitive changes - 96%, including a specific feeling of derealization
Eating disturbances - 80%
Hypersexuality - 43%
Compulsions - 29%
Depressed mood - 48%
Menstrual-related hypersomnia is diagnosed when excessive daytime sleepiness occurs on a periodic basis over a few days preceding menstruation.[12] It is assumed that the symptoms follow hormonal changes, but the etiology of the syndrome, as well as its prevalence and course, are virtually unknown.
The ICSD recurrent hypersomnia is classified separately to describe the recurrent form of primary hypersomnia according to the DSM-IV-TR.
Hypersomnolence is an idiopathic disorder. Although head injury or viral infections can cause a disorder resembling primary hypersomnia, the true causes for most cases remain unknown. No genetic, environmental, or other predisposition has been identified.[6]
Excessive daytime sleepiness has been described in a subset of patients following viral illnesses such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, hepatitis, mononucleosis, and atypical viral pneumonia. Familial cases associated with HLA-Cw2 and HLA-DR11 genotypes have also been reported.[13] However, the majority of the patients diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia have neither a positive family history nor a past medical history of viral illnesses.
In experimental animal studies, destruction of the nonadrenergic neurons of the rostral third of the locus ceruleus complex has produced hypersomnia. While trauma has been associated with excessive daytime sleepiness in a case series, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis for specific neurotransmitter metabolites did not differentiate patients with posttraumatic excessive daytime sleepiness from patients with narcolepsy or other patients with excessive daytime sleepiness.[14] Injury to the adrenergic neurons at the bundle of isthmus has led to hypersomnia associated with a proportional increase of both NREM and REM sleep.[15]
Evidence suggests that a dopamine system dysfunction may occur in narcolepsy, while a similar malfunction of the norepinephrine system may occur in idiopathic hypersomnia. Decreased CSF histamine levels have been reported in primary hypersomnia, as well as in narcolepsy, but not in non-CNS hypersomnias, suggesting that histamine may be an indicator of a central (versus a peripheral) origin for hypersomnias.[16]
A major advance in the understanding of the pathology of narcolepsy, a disorder closely related to primary hypersomnia, was made after the discovery of narcolepsy-associated genes in animals; ie, genes involved in the pathology of the hypocretin/orexin ligand and its receptor.[17, 18] Low CSF concentrations of hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2 in HLA DQB1*0602 were also found in primary hypersomnia, and a generalized defect in hcrt-2 transmission may be present in this disorder. As hypocretin peptides excite the histaminergic system by the hypocretin receptor 2,[19] hypocretin deficiency may result in excessive daytime sleepiness via decreased histaminergic function.[16]
Occurrence in the United States
While the rates of excessive daytime sleepiness complaints in the general population are between 0.5-5% of adults (in surveys without a specific consideration of causes/diagnoses), idiopathic hypersomnia is diagnosed in about 5-10% of individuals who are self referred to a sleep clinic with a chief complaint of daytime sleepiness.[1] A precise estimation of idiopathic hypersomnia prevalence is complicated by a lack of clear biologic markers or unambiguous diagnostic criteria.
A study by Ohayon et al suggested that excessive sleepiness is more prevalent than previously estimated. The study found that with 27.8% of 15,929 individuals from 15 US states reported excessive sleepiness. Even when using restrictive criteria of frequency at least 3 times per week for at least 3 months despite normal sleep duration, the prevalence was 4.7%.[20]
Sex- and age-related demographics
Gender ratio for hypersomnolence is unknown. Kleine-Levin syndrome affects males approximately 3 times more often than females.[1]
As with narcolepsy and Klein-Levin syndrome, onset of hypersomnolence is most common during adolescence and rare in people older than 30 years. The diagnosis of idiopathic hypersomnia is complicated by the fact that differentiating between excessive versus long sleep or normal versus abnormal wakefulness is often difficult in this population.
After a typical onset between the ages 15-30 years, untreated hypersomnolence presents a chronic, but stable, course. Idiopathic hypersomnia is a lifelong disorder with no tendency to remit spontaneously. Consequences of this disease are mostly social and professional in nature.
Daytime sleepiness can lead to depression. Of note, in children, daytime sleepiness can present as hyperactivity.[1]
Patient Education
While treating patients with hypersomnolence, the patient's close family should be involved in the overall education and decision-making process.
Because these disorders may lead to marriage breakdown, extensive counseling for the patient's partners, educating them about the symptomatology and treatment options, must be part of a comprehensive management plan.
Patients often need significant support because they are at risk of being misunderstood as being incompetent or slothful. Therefore, education of relatives, friends, and colleagues helps the patient to function much better with this incurable disease.
For patient education information, see the Sleep Disorders Center, as well as Disorders That Disrupt Sleep (Parasomnias) and Narcolepsy.
Medline Plus/National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides concise and to-the-point summaries of the diagnosis and recommendations for patients and families dealing with primary hypersomnia and Kleine-Levine syndrome.
The Mayo clinic offers an additional, more comprehensive patient resource on idiopathic/primary hypersomnia.

4.5 stars 11 totalReview David Callahan
Posted by a client
Dave has been one of my family's attorney's for the last 2 years now. We've unfortunately needed reoccurring representation for a child custody matter involving my brother and the mother of his child. My brother had split from the mother of his child after several years of physical and mental abuse, and despite the overwhelming evidence, it was an uphill battle for him since day one to obtain primary care and custody of his daughter. The courts are partial to single fathers for reasons i'll never understand, and even with all the evidence we had against the mother, it was clear that this was not going to be a slam dunk case. It was also clear who the unfit parent was, but unfortunately, reality doesn't always play out in the court room. Needless to say, Dave was there for us when the time came two years ago when we needed a good lawyer with a steadfast approach. We were skeptical at first, because in my eyes there isn't anyone "good enough" to represent my brother in what would soon be the worst and most pivotal years of his life. But Dave has a confidence and trust about him that was missing in so many other lawyers we had met with. I had never felt so at peace with a decision as I had the day we signed up with Dave and his team. Throughout this entire process we had met with 3 other lawyers who fell well below the realm of satisfactory results. Looking back now I am so happy that those other sub par lawyers didnt make the cut because I cant imagine having to go through what my family went through with anybody else representing us besides Dave. There were days when I thought we weren't going to come out of this alive. Our whole world revolves around this one little girl who any of us would die to protect. And Dave got that. He put himself in our shoes and empathized with our situation because he is a real human being. He didnt choose this career with the sole purpose to make a lot of money and grow his own firm, he genuinely cares about helping people. And that human element is whats missing in so many other ill-intentioned attorneys. Dave was attentive to our case and always knew what was going on even if he wasn't in the courtroom. He was responsive to all our calls, emails and texts and never made us feel as though we were burdening him unnecessarily. That is something I have come to realize is hard to find in many lawyers. Overall Dave's professionalism, knowledge regarding so many different types of law, down to earth demeanor and kind spirit is what sets him apart. My family and I went through a lot these past two years. A series of events that I hope no other family ever has to deal with. But if you do, its Dave Callahan who you'd want in your corner. Dave is and always will be mine and my family's lawyer of choice!

After to being transferred to the managing lawyer at this law firm David Callahan took exceptional responsibility and got me more than I even expected to get. I received an awfully high amount for an area that is not David specialty when it comes to law but he still did a great job I would recommend this lawyer for any case that I had on my plate or for any other person that was looking for a lawyer a humble lawyer
Posted by a client
Attorney David Callahan had relieved a great deal of anxiety. His positive attitude and wise council along with his understanding of my particular situation made things a bit easier. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a man who is kind and will support your needs, yet be tough when he has to.
Posted by Alicia A
My divorce was led by an attorney at Pollack Law Group. Unfortunately my original attorney was unable to continue with my case and attorney David Callahan (managing attorney) found a replacement and got him up to speed before my quickly approaching court date. Not only was he able to find an attorney to finish my case in a timely manner, but he also provided a breakdown of fees which included a refund (a word you don't often find associated with a lawyer or law group)! i recommend David and his group as I found them to be honest knowledgeable and trustworthy.
Posted by Demetris
Attorney David Callahan has been my lawyer since 2008. He is an attorney that you can trust and know that he is in your corner. He has a warm personality and is completely down to earth. He never makes you feel like your case is not important or that you do not matter. He will take the opportunity to get to know you. He takes his time to listen and explain to you in easy details about the fees and how the court process works so that you clearly understands. When ever I needed to follow up with him about a case, he is always available and if he was unavailable because he was in court, he would always call you back that same day or the following. He has handled all of my cases from car accidents to child support. Attorney Callahan made sure that I got what was truly entitled to me..no doubt. I never once felt stressed out about my cases because I knew that he was on top of it. He will always give you the best legal service possible and that's why I will continue to keep him as my lawyer.
Posted by Bob
Don't waste your money. There are plenty of competent lawyers out there, but Attorney Callahan is not one of them. He will promise you whatever you want to hear but will not deliver. The only thing you can count on is him spending through your retainer faster than you can blink and before you ever step foot in court. I spent lots of money with little results and fired him moving on to another attorney who got me what I needed. In hindsight, I found the endorsements on this site were mostly written by his employees. Just find someone else!!!
Posted by a Divorce client
Attorney Dave Callahan recently handled my divorce. He was professional, easy to talk to and provided fantastic, straight-forward and clear counsel throughout the process. He got me through a tough situation with the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a top notch lawyer who will get the job done.
Posted by Kate
David was able to break the divorce process down and explain it in a way that I was able to understand. He made it seem simple and a took a lot of stress off of my shoulders.
Posted by Sarah D.
My language is not always the best, and Mr. David did a good job in helping me. The judge smiled and understand what my case was about. His is a great lawyer, David Callahan. He explains things very well and made the process easier for me and my family.
Posted by Randy
Mr. Callahan and his attorneys did a great job for my husband and I. I would recommend him to anybody. He can be rough to get a hold of, but he has a strong team that supports him. A+++

War is frustrating for the individual soldier. Not just the Iraq War, but any war. Generation Kill does an excellent job of capturing this frustration. The Sergeant Major's obsession with the grooming standard is a perfect example of how military units often lose track of what their priorities should be. But in the Sergeant Major's defense, standards are set for a reason. And if you stop enforcing some, others will usually follow. In combat, small standards and procedures often determine whether people live or die.
On a more technical note, the acting and writing in Generation Kill were very well done. Realistically portraying a soldier or marine is probably one of the most difficult roles for an actor. There are so many subtle nuances of being a soldier or marine, that without actually being one, it is hard to understand them. Generation Kill did a great job of training the actors to look and sound believable.
I was in Iraq for 27 months, in 2005 and in 2007/2008, and I can attest that this series is about as accurate as you can get in a film. I am in the Army, but I worked pretty extensively with Marines during both of my tours, so I have a pretty decent knowledge of how they work.Read more ›

Many complain about the "civilian killing" and "dedicating / urination" content, but to be honest; its accurate. Its no 5 Star hotel nor is it something to be overlooked if you want to be complete and honest. Truth is in war -especially this war, you can never be sure of whom your shooting at until your being shot at, so you do your best to make the right decisions; this series underlines that and the struggle to do this while following -at times, insane orders.
I'm a big fan of Band of Brothers and The Pacific and I went into Generation Kill hoping for more of the same and I was not disappointed. It's definitely an honest look at modern military activity. When the good guys aren't so good and the bad guys aren't always bad. While it's not as epic as the previously mentioned series it still is a phenomenal production. I love the characters and how you get to see inside them and what motivates them. It's what I love about the series that HBO produces they generally let you look at the different characters on a very in-depth level. It's what makes all these miniseries so much better than movies because of the character development in my opinion.
If you can stand having subtitles very few shows in English benefit as much as GK. The subtitles pick up on a lot of the background chatter plus whatever they use military acronyms it's easier to decipher what they said. Personally I love subtitles whenever I watch the show and I recommend them highly.
I watch this series almost yearly and always will pick up funny new things that I didn't notice on previous viewings. I can't recommend this enough especially if you like military movies or video games.
The one thing I love about this show is the military jargon and radio chatter that is used often. Now I've seen the series five times and over those repeat viewings I've been able to make out or look up what much of the jargon or terms they use mean. the one thing I love about this show is they don't go into depth to explain what they're talking about they leave that up to the viewer to Google it themselves.Read more ›

Winemaker's Notes
Our 1998 Central Coast Chardonnay displays cool climate fruit aromas of pineapple, mango, citrus fruit and ripe apple. Rich flavors of pear and apple and allspice are supported by a creamy, lees-textured mouth-feel and pleasant, mineral aftertaste. This multi-dimensional wine can be enjoyed with a wide range of foods. The balanced acidity provides a perfect foil for grilled or sautéed fish and shellfish, pork roast and poultry.

Gravity-Based Attractions Generate Big Jump in summer business at Gunstock
GILFORD — Gunstock Mountain Resort is continuing to expand its spring and summer attractions as part of implementing its 2011 master plan, which outlines the resort's strategy to become a four season recreational destination.
New this year is an outdoor restaurant called the Landing Zone, which is located right in the center of all the action of Gunstock's Adventure Park and offers events and live entertainment on a 3,000 square foot patio with seating for 70 plus people, along with its signature patio bar.
"It incorporates outdoor dining as we continue to develop the Adventure Park. Great food is always part of a great experience, and with this ambiance, it is tough to beat," says Greg Goddard, Gunstock's general manager.
The Landing Zone officially opened on Memorial Day weekend and is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Labor Day and has already substantially increased summer food and beverage sales at Gunstock according to Goddard.
Goddard explained that the development of the Adventure Park, with its spring and summer attractions has been the keystone of the resort's strategy to attract more visitors during the warm weather months. He says that nation 5 million people visit the Lakes Region in the spring, summer and fall and that Gunstock needs to provide the kind of attractions which will bring them to the mountain.
He says that in 2010, total sales between May and October were $1 million, but since the opening of the Aerial Treetop Adventure Course and the ZipTour Zip Line Adventure they have more than doubled to $2.4 million in 2014.
Altogether the Adventure Park has generated more than $5 million in direct sales since 2011, while increasing collateral sales from retail operations, food and beverages, and chairlift rides.
And, just as importantly, the added attractions have already paid off the original investment. The Aerial Treetop Adventures required a capital outlay of $469,220 and has attracted 31,834 guests and generated $1.2 million in sales.
The ZipTour Zip Line Adventure, which when it opened was the longest single zip line span on North America at 3,981 feet and a total of 1.6 miles of cable overall, cost $1.63 million and has seen over 81,000 riders and generated just over $3 million in sales.
Goddard, says that an Alpine Coaster is slated to become the next attraction at the resort's Adventure Park. In March the Gunstock Area Commission endorsed the project and last month the Belknap County Convention approved a bond issue for $2.6 million to build it.
An alpine coaster is a downhill ride built on mountainous terrain and that carries riders in carts running on rails, relying solely on gravity for speed. Riders can reach speeds of up to 25 miles-per-hour, but unlike on a roller coaster, they control their speed with a braking system fitted to the cart. Built between 2 feet and 30 feet above the ground, alpine coasters are not affected by rain and snow and can operate throughout the year.
He told members of the County Convention that project is estimated to cost $2.6 million, of which the purchase of the coaster represents $1.5 million.
Goddard anticipates that the coaster will operate at 25 percent of capacity in the summer and 30 percent of capacity on only Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in the winter, when there are more visitors at the resort. Altogether the coaster is expected to carry nearly 85,000 riders a year. At an average ride price of $12, the coaster is projected to return an annual operating profit of $530,000, which is one-and-half times the highest annual debt payment.
Goddard said that the coaster will be built adjacent to the tubing hill and ski jumps. Looking up the hill, the track taking riders to the starting point will follow to the right of the roadway that serves the jumps, reservoir and cell tower. The downhill track will wind through the wooded area to the right of the uphill track, making two complete circles and several sharp turns along the balance of its length. The downhill track will be 2,660 feet long with a vertical drop of 221 feet and a maximum grade of 18 percent. A round trip will take between four and five minutes, leaving the same amount of time to load and unload passengers. With 40 carts, the coaster can carry 250 riders an hour.
He said that the experience of other ski areas which have adopted the multi-season recreational model shows that they have experienced exponential growth in their summer business since adding Alpine coasters, including Cranmore Mountain in North Conway and Jiminy Peak in Massachusetts.
It will take a year to construct the coaster, which Goddard expects to carry its first thrill seekers in July 2016.
He says that the competition from other New Hampshire ski areas in the summer attractions field is fairly intense and that in order to maintain its momentum Gunstock will need to continue to invest in new attractions.
Goddard said that the long-range plan foresees investing $21.5 million in all aspects of the resort's facilities and activities during the next decade.
He pointed out that in 2000 Belknap County's equity in the resort was a negative $3.7 million while today it is a positive $9.5 million, a turnaround of $13.1 million.
Gunstock's winter skiing, snowboarding and tubing attractions attract between 140,000 and 170,000 visitors a year and generate between $7 million and $9 million a year in revenues. Originally opened as the Belknap Mountain Recreation Area in 1938 Gunstock was built as Works Progress Administration project during the Depression and is the only county-owned ski area in the country.

The Benny Hill music has never sounded so apt than when accompanied by this ridiculous video from Moldova.
In a match against Rapid Ghidighici, Milsami-Ursidos's keeper Radu Mitu came up with the ultimate howler as he inexplicably threw the ball into his own net.
Mitu put a hand out apologetically after the incident in a casual manner which seemed to suggest he didn't actually think the goal was going to count.
However, of course it did, and Milsami-Ursidos ended up losing the match 2-1.
