Keys to the Kingdomby Bob Graham
Shortly after an explosive op-ed piece about the 9/11 investigation appears in the New York Times, its author, former senator and co-chair of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry Commission, John Billington, is murdered near his Florida home. Enter Tony Ramos, ex-Special Forces operative, former aid to Senator Billington, and currently a State Department intelligence analyst. Billington, having sensed the danger he faced, has left Ramos detailed instructions for an investigation into suspected Saudi complicity in 9/11. Ramos, in conjunction with Billington's daughter Laura, uncovers a shocking international conspiracy linking the Saudi Kingdom to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Despite efforts to derail their investigation, whose scope encompasses Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Ramos and Laura discover that the Kingdom has recently provided bin Laden and al-Qaeda with three nuclear devices, two of which are successfully detonated by the terrorists overseas. But they were just a warmup to the grand finale. The third device, Ramos learns, will be detonated off the California coast. Now Ramos and a team of Special Forces must race against time to prevent al-Qaeda from unleashing nuclear disaster on American shores and beyond.

Sen. Graham hamhandly advances his own agenda in this rambling effort. Certainly shows his knowledge of Washington and its ways. Had a hard time pressing on in the bank seemingly slowly going nowhere.
"Keys to the Kingdom", by Senator Bob Graham, is a spell binding novel. Senator Graham has taken the events of 9/11 and given us a what I believe to be a fictional story of events prior to 9/11 and following that tragic event. The Kingdom, (Saudi Arabia), is apparently helping bin Laden in more ways that any of us in the United States would like to think. He, bin Laden, is seen in Saudi Arabia well after the tragedy of 9/11. He has shaved to change his appearance, but to the trained observer, it is without a doubt, the man who mastermind the United States worst terrorist attack. Shortly after the the publication of the 9/11 papers Senator Billington is murdered. Billington had been the co-chair of the Congressional Commission. His long time confidant Tony Ramos, a former Special Forces operative and current State Department employee, takes on the case. Once you begin to read this story you will find yourself drawn into what is seemingly the underbelly of the government and the seedy side of society. Follow Ramos and a cast of others as they attempt to unravel many inconsistencies which threaten the world and the United States of America. Can Ramos figure out what is happening in time to prevent another catastrophe or will he fall short. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at Senator Graham's ability as an author. He definitely kept me glued to the pages. Bravo to Senator Bob Graham for writing a suspenseful novel such a "Keys to the Kingdom. I would also like to thank FSB Media and Rubyna Mansuri for giving me the opportunity to both read and review this 5 star novel.
John Billington, a former Senator, is murdered on the eve of his meeting with Tony Ramos, a State Dept. analyst and former member of Mr. Billington's staff. The who and why of that murder is pivotal in this novel by Senator Bob Graham. "Keys to the Kingdom" is an international, political thriller dealing with Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Switzerland, the United States, and more; and what any of them had to do with 9/11. Tony is given information from the former Senator and finds that he is tasked with finding out who knew what about 9/11 and when they knew it. An unlikely partner for Tony is Laura, Senator Billington's estranged daughter. The mystery and plot thicken as the reader turns each page, ultimately leading to information about nuclear devices. Why did Senator Billington trust Tony so much? Who was behind his murder? Will Laura help solve the puzzle and get back on solid footing with her family? Who has the nuclear devices and where do they want to detonate them? This fast-paced political thriller held my attention all the way through. I had to keep reminding myself that it is a novel and the characters fictitious. If you enjoy political thrillers, this is a book you will enjoy. It could also make for some interesting book group discussions. Thank you to FSB Media for my copy and the opportunity to review this book.
In 2008 though he knows the danger of releasing his beliefs, U.S. Senator (retired) John Billington publishes an op-ed in the New York Times. In his article the former Congressman insists that Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11 was covered-up by two American Administrations and ignored by Congress. From that assertion, he further asks whether the Kingdom will support future terrorist acts and implies that Saudi Arabia is probably developing a nuclear weapon. His contention causes consternation in DC, Tel Aviv and Riyadh and he receives death threats. Not one to hide, Billington asks State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research Tony Ramos to look into his theory. Soon after his request Billington dies in a suspicious hit-and-run near his house in Florida. Feeling compelled to dig while also feeling remorse for ignoring the late senator who said he would be killed for his statements, Ramos, Billington's daughter Laura and his team investigate her late father's claims; and soon conclude al-Qaeda has plans for a monstrous terrorist assault with Saudi Arabia supporting the deadly terrorists. Putting aside the inane romantic requirement that feels forced, Keys to the Kingdom is an exciting thriller as former Senator Bob Graham makes a case that Saudi Arabia whether by intention or omission enabled 9/11 and history has a tendency to repeat itself. The premise overall is carried out cleverly though at times Ramos seems more like Superman as he and the others do the Asian tour to prevent a terror-nuke attack on America. Fans will enjoy Senator Graham's suspenseful tale as an even deadlier 9/11 seems imminent. Harriet Klausner

HSBC, the global banking giant, was the co-title sponsor of the 2012 Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Rugby Sevens. HSBC wanted to use the event to entertain up to one thousand of their key stakeholders and customers in the spectacular, flamboyant style of 'The Sevens'. As one of HSBC's flagship sponsorships in Asia, the client required a memorable and engaging experiences for their guests.
Pico was heavily involved, with the client's appointed Sports agency Fast Track, in the creative design and build of three corporate boxes and the Hospitality Marquee, and to organise and theme their Group CEO Dinner for HSBC. For each of these mini-events, HSBC gave a number of touch points that needed to be hit: first and foremost they needed people to know that an invitation from HSBC was the hottest ticket to the Sevens. HSBC also wanted their boxes to deliver the highest quality VIP experience, and to be the talking point - and biggest party - on the Executive Floor.
As there were over 50 executive boxes at Hong Kong Stadium for the 2012 Sevens, the biggest challenge was thinking of a way to ensure that the HSBC boxes truly stood out. Another challenge was a common one - the short timeframe for setup and the many restrictions and limitations from the Stadium. Pico had two weeks to renovate the boxes and only 72 hours to set up the Marquee.
To ensure that all VIP needs were catered for, Pico decided to make sure that there was something for everyone. Three separate themes were used for the three boxes: a 'City Roof Bar', a 'Virtual Stadium Pitch' and a Fancy Dress party. The Hospitality Marquee had an outdoor Garden Bar as its focal point, but also had a restorative Oxygen Bar and massage area, which proved very popular with guests.
To complete the experience and to keep the party going after the sporting action had stopped for the day, we had a live DJ in the evenings and at the afterparty.
In the end, 2012 was one of the most exciting and well-attended Hong Kong Sevens in history. The event made sporting headlines around the world, and HSBC ticked every box: not only did they give their clients and stakeholders an unforgettable weekend, they proved that they understand rugby and are committed to supporting its growth around the world.

Denny Freidenrich: Start supporting Obamacare
My friend, Cole, is a conservative. A good 'ol boy from Virginia, he never used to talk politics in public. That all changed a few years back when the notion of Obamacare loomed on the horizon. Because his wife is a physician, I suspect that has fueled his continued rage against the Affordable Care Act, even though it is now the law of the land.
In mid-February, David Nather wrote in Politico, "The Obamacare rollout is changing in front of our eyes. This new report is good enough that it might reset Washington's expectations: Maybe Obamacare isn't going to be a train wreck after all."
More recently, Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik had this to say about Obamacare naysayers like Cole: "... ill-wishers – who take a curiously gleeful view of suggestions that the act isn't working, as if failing to bring health insurance to millions of people is something to celebrate – have trolled a succession of "concerns" suggesting that even if you think Obamacare is working, it's really not, because ..."
Cole is a decent, hardworking neighbor of mine. I know he adores his family and loves watching his kids play ball. In many ways, he reminds me of my USC fraternity brothers. Even though we disagree on 95 percent of the political issues of the day, there's no group of guys I'd rather be in a fox hole with than them.
Which brings me back to Obamacare. What is it about the Affordable Care Act that inspires their war of words? I'm guessing it has to do with the structure of the law. To Cole and my fraternity brothers, this is yet one more example of their paying for government run amuck. You'll never hear them say it but I will: They hate the idea of paying for deadbeats. Never mind that independent studies contradict this characterization of the newly insured. My friends continue to cling to their opposition like white on rice.
The original goal of the Affordable Care Act – to enroll 7 million people by March 31 – might not be met next week. Still, as I have said to Cole, "If six million people sign up, then it's a big success. Any time you can achieve 85 percent of your goal, that's huge." That is especially true when you are talking about a new, national policy.
Sure, Obamacare will need to be tweaked. Every successful program has to be. That said, I hope Cole and my fraternity brothers will stop playing their "loyal opposition" hand soon. That train left the station a while ago. Guys, it's time you get in the game and become part of the solution.

Now that many online bookmakers offer cash out to their customers, punters have more choice. They also have an extra predicament. Should you cash out your bets or let them run their full course?
Much depends on your mindset. If you're a nervous gambler you may prefer to back out of the bet early once you're in profit. If you're a high roller, you may scoff at the reduced returns that cash out can provide.
But which approach yields the best results overall?
This depends where you bet. Your cash out value depends on the odds that the bookie is offering in-play. So the more generous your bookie is for in-play odds, the better value you can get when you cash out. One thing you can guarantee is that the bookie is making a margin on all their prices. So if you cash out, you're essentially giving them extra profit – the overround when you first place your bet, and another one when you cash it in.
That means that to make this feature pay, you need some way of calculating value in the in-play odds. That obviously is not going to be easy. You will absolutely need to be watching the game in order to determine value, and have a good knowledge of how the prices reflect the current state of play.
Our advice then is that you should be wary of using cash out unless you are confident that you can read the in-play situation better than the odds compiler. This is not impossible – remember the odds compiler has many games to set prices for, you need to monitor only one. But unless you can beat them long term, your cash out simply hands the bookie an extra profit margin at your expense.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 248 reviews
Great hotel but when you ask for a quiet room NOT next to an ice machine and get one right next door with people coming and going to it all night. Was not impressed. Would be a great hotel otherwise.
Very best Hampton Inn ever
Very good view of Ogden
I was on the road and needed an overnight room. I called Hotels.com and was able to grab this room using one of my free stays. Wow, great hotel. Parking was tough but I found their valet lot and parked there. Desk agent said that was perfect.
We very much enjoyed our stay. We had a bit of a difficult time understanding the person at check in, but we would definitely stay at the Hampton Inn in Ogden again. Room was generous in space and style and comfort.

Marketing with Custom and Preloaded iPods, MP3 Players and USB Drives
A Special Report
Using Portable Media to Attract and Engage Customers
By Dan Safkow
Custom iPods, and MP4 and MP3 players are the ultimate promotional product and marketing tool because of their high perceived value as an incentive or gift and ability to carry a custom marketing message via pre-loaded audio. And that's just the beginning. A branded MP3 player in the hands of your customers, or potential customers, is also a pipeline for a relationship marketing campaign that you can deliver via podcasting, the method for publishing audio files to the Internet for download.
Here are 10 industry specific scenarios of how custom MP3 players can be used to attract and engage customers or members:
1. An
offers custom iPods players as an incentive to promote a new premium service or destination. Qualifying passengers receive the branded iPod preloaded with an audio magazine about other exotic destinations served by the airline.
2. A luxury
automotive manufacturer
offers custom MP3 players as an incentive for test drives. The branded MP3 players are preloaded with an audio infomercial that includes customer testimonials and interviews with engineers and designers.
professional sports team
sells collectable MP4 video players, or gives them away as a season ticket purchase incentive. Each branded MP4 player features the team's logo and is preloaded with player interviews and video highlights.
public radio station
offers custom MP3 players as premium gifts during their membership. Each portable media player is preloaded with audio recording from their most popular programs.
financial institution
offers custom iPods as an incentive for new accounts. The branded iPods contain an audio magazine that promotes other investment and money management strategies.
6. An
entertainment company
includes custom MP4 players in their press kits touting a new production. Each player is imprinted with the show's logo and includes cast interviews, sound bites and video highlights from the production.
provides MP3 players, with built-in voice recorders, to incoming freshman as a study tool. The players are branded with the school's mascot and is preloaded with orientation information and audio promotions from the various campus organizations.
training company
offers preloaded MP3 players, combined with an online library of training modules, as a distance learning platform for their clients.
uses MP4 players as a B2B relationship marketing tool by giving them away free to key distributors. Each player is preloaded with the first issue of a monthly audio newsletter featuring industry news, new product release information, and sales tips, and instructions on how to access and download future editions.
raises funds by selling MP3 players preloaded with special sermons and music, and parishioners receive instructions on how to download future sermons from the church's website.

This project addresses our Center for Populafion Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) application's overarching theme of understanding and preventing breast cancer precursors, morbidity, and mortality among Latinas by aiming to better understand the underlying biology of breast cancer in these women. Disparities in breast cancer survival befi^'een racial and ethnic groups have some well-documented social and economic causes. It is possible that differences in tumor biology between groups also contribute to differences in breast cancer outcomes. Recent gene expression profiling of breast cancer has deepened our understanding of this very heterogeneous disease and led to a new paradigm for the development of subtypespecific therapies and prevenfion strategies. However, the gene expression subtyping of breast cancer is based entirely on data generated by studies of non-Hispanic white women. The disparity created by the lack of biological data In minority women will continue to impede the implementafion of new approaches to prevention and treatment in these diverse populafions. As new treatments directed at specific subtypes become available it is essential that expression data from Hispanic women is also available?both to identify associations specific to Hispanic women and to assess the relevance of data generated in studies of non-Hispanic women. To better understand the biological subtypes of breast cancer in Hispanic women and the relationship of genetics and environmental influences (risk factors) to the development of specific breast tumor subtypes, we will conduct a study of 615 Hispanic women based primarily on the breast cancer cases outlined in Project 3. Our primary aim is to: 1. Determine the relationship between tumor subtype and ancestry in Hispanic women with breast cancer. This will be accomplished by: a) determining the tumor subtype by gene expression array b) determining ancestry through ancestry informafive markers (AIMs) c) comparing tumor subtype with individual ancestry as defined through the AIMs. Our secondary aims are to 2. Explore the relationship between established risk factors and breast tumor subtypes in Hispanic women. 3. Explore expression of genes involved in tumor-associated pathways in the tumors of Hispanic women and the relationship of these pathways with ancestry and risk factors.

Advertisement That's celebrity Rika Adachi working as a maid and restaurant manager in a special event held at the cafe. According to Inside Games, this is the first part-time job she's ever had! And since it was a one-day-only job, the gig puts new meaning into part-time. Yes, more than anything, this is simply a photo op. I don't think Adachi spent the entire day taking orders and bringing people Pikachu Burgers. The reason why Adachi was on hand was that, besides being an increasingly popular celebrity in Japan, she also lends her voice to the new Pokemon movie as the thief Marilyn Flame. What's interesting is that while this appears to be the first official Pikachu-themed maid outfit, it's not the first official Pikachu maid. [Photo: t19870709] Advertisement Advertisement Last year, The Pokemon Company rolled out a Pikachu Maid earphone jack—perhaps referencing the Pika-maid that appeared in the Season 11 episode "Tank for the Memories."

Best Cheap Ellipticals Under $500
A $500 elliptical trainer budget is small but useful. With careful shopping you can avoid cheap troublemakers and choose a good value. To help you out, here we share three top-ranking discount elliptical trainers. We also list other ellipticals under $500 and explain what you can reasonably expect in this price category. You might decide to jump to a higher price level, but you might find the best elliptical for your home gym right here.
Top Elliptical Machines Under $500
Our elliptical review writers assign scores for machine durability, display, features and customer service. These three winners earn the best overall scores in their price class.
Buying Guide to Elliptical Machines Under $500
Shopping for an elliptical machine, you've probably noticed choices that cost $2,000 or more. What can you expect from a low-budget elliptical trainer? How is it different from a luxury model? Here's a brief guide to ellipticals under $500.
Basic elements that shape an elliptical machine's performance are resistance and stride length. Here's what to expect from ellipticals under $500.
Resistance Type: As an elliptical machine's flywheel spins, resistance is controlled by contact braking or with touch-free magnetic force. Contact braking tends to be noisy and is associated with higher maintenance needs. Quiet magnetic resistance is now the standard for elliptical trainers in all price categories, include those under $500.
Resistance Amount: A key difference between ellipticals under $500 and their higher-priced alternatives is the amount of resistance. Light resistance tends to produce a not-so-smooth ride, and this drawback is more pronounced when the user carries more weight. Light resistance also means that workouts are less challenging. Very low budget ellipticals tend to have maximum resistance of about 12 to 15 pounds, which is generally only suitable for beginners. For comparison, ellipticals priced from $500 to $999 tend to have approximately 20-pound maximums. Club-quality elliptical machines have even heavier drives to produce the smoothest motion and support any athlete's ability level.
Resistance Levels: How many settings are available? Two elliptical machines might have the same maximum resistance levels, but one might split the resistance into 8 challenge levels while another offers 16.
Stride Length: Natural stride is essential to comfortable and low-risk elliptical workouts. Most adults have natural strides of about 18 to 22 inches, and the standard for elliptical trainers in health clubs is 20". Unfortunately stride length is often much shorter on ellipticals under $500. Some machines have strides as short as 13 inches and should generally be avoided. Compromising on stride length can cause knee pain and other discomfort.
Elliptical trainers are complex machines, but knowing a few specifics can help you make an educated guess about overall durability.
Maximum User Weight: Elliptical trainers at health clubs typically have user weight limits of 300 to 400 pounds. For home use, look for a unit that can safely hold at least 250 pounds. Although you might weigh significantly less than that, machines with lower capacities tend to be comprised of lightweight, substandard parts.
Warranty: A warranty package is usually the best indicator of a fitness machine's quality. The most important section to consider is the parts warranty. With an elliptical trainer under $500 you can expect a six-month parts warranty and a 90-day or six-month labor warranty. High-end ellipticals, in contrast, have their parts under warranty for a few years or more and include two or more years of labor.
Brand Reputation: When a new machine is available and there aren't yet reviews, the manufacturer's reputation can be a good clue about what to expect. If last year's models earned poor reviews, then this year's models probably won't fare well either.
Discount elliptical shoppers seeking good value should focus primarily on performance and durability. The best $500 elliptical trainers are rather light on features. Here are some guidelines.
Heart Rate Monitor: The best cardio trainers make it easy to monitor heart rate. This helps trainees exercise in their target heart rate zones and easily track improvement over time. However, heart rate monitoring is one area in which cheap ellipticals fall short. Elliptical machines under $500 do not have wireless heart rate monitors, which are the most accurate, and their contact pulse readers can be very misleading. If you choose an elliptical under $500, consider pairing it with an accurate heart rate monitor.
Workout Programs: The workout variety on low-budget elliptical trainers tends to be slim. The user can typically choose from about six to 12 programs in one or two categories. Program variety and quality tends to be significantly better in the next price class. Some of the best ellipticals let users design and save customized programs, plus they have online connections for downloading new workouts.
Display: The displays on ellipticals under $500 tend to use older technology. The screens tend to be small and some aren't backlit, so they're difficult to read. In higher price classes the ellipticals tend to have larger windows and crisper readouts. Some have colorful touchscreen displays.
List of Elliptical Trainers Under $500
Ellipticals under $500 require some compromise, but they can be a good choice for regular light training or rainy day workouts. Here is a list of all the ellipticals under $500 for which we have reviews. For comparison see lists for the $500 to $1,000 category.

Crazyness! 11/21/2013
This review is from: Acer T272HL 27" LED LCD Touchscreen Monitor - 16:9 - 5 ms
I just got one shipped to my house for $150 from another usually overpriced electronics store thanks to their low price guarantee and this being listed as unavailable on another competitors site for $150, but unavailable atm XD
One website said it was 3D capable as well, but both others i've seen don't seem to agree... have to wait and find out i guess

Delay in "Baby Kate" trial
- font size decrease font size increase font size
It looks like a judge will not decide for many weeks, perhaps three months if the "Baby Kate" murder case against Sean Michael Phillips is strong enough to go to trial.
Phillips was charged with murder six months ago.
Mlive reports Friday, that at the end of a two-day probable cause hearing, Public Defender David Glancy asked for three months for experts to analyze an unsigned letter that is allegedly written from Phillips to Ariel Courtland.
The judge agreed to recess the hearing and ordered that a "status conference" be held in six weeks to review the progress,
One other new development in the case was testimony from a fellow former inmate whom Sean had spent time with in Carson City prison.
Rushaun Demario Burton claims that Phillips told him that he had gotten rid of his daughter.
When Burton asked Phillips to elaborate, Burton testified, "he kinda got closed up from the conversation and said, 'well, I can't be charged because they wouldn't find it."
As always, WMOM news will keep you up to date with any new breaking developments in the Baby Kate case.

Mark Martin said in his remarks to the media Friday at Texas Motor Speedway that he talked to his two best friends, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth, about succeeding him at Hendrick Motorsports. When neither of them took him seriously, he approached Kasey Kahne and got the ball rolling toward the deal that Hendrick Motorsports announced this week.
Here's how Kenseth responded when asked about Martin's comments:
"I don't even remember him saying that, to be honest with you. That's probably why I didn't take him serious. I don't really know much about that. I don't even know if they'd want me over there to start with, and, second of all, I've got a job and I'm pretty happy where I'm at because Jack has always given me everything we needed to compete. He's never told me 'no' for anything we need to try to make our cars run faster. I've had a home there for a long time and I've been fortunate to be with a good team for a long time and I enjoy racing there."
(Thanks to friends at Chevy for the Martin stuff and Ford for the Kenseth quote.)
I can't speak to what Martin may or may not have done and said or what Kenseth may or may not remember.
I do know that if the guy who connected me Roush talked to me about an opening at Hendrick, the best team in the business, it'd probably cause my ears to perk up.
. . . Just sayin'.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
We were involved in a car accident. The driver hit me and was at fault, police report and investigation also states it. Well his insurance is giving me the run around and since the person involved lives in my nueghbirhood i dont want problems with them. But at tge sametime now im stuck with out a car, a bunch of medical expenses. I dont want to sue drive i jyst want insurance to help my car repairs and medical bills.
I would recommend contacting an attorney. What you need to remember is you're not suing the person, you're suing their insurance company. The reason they got insurance is to pay for when they hurt someone or damage someone's vehicle. it's not personal it's just business. you shouldn't be inconvenienced when the wreck was someone else's fault and you been hurt by the negligence of another. I definitely recommend contacting a Texas personal injury attorney.

Insurance companies give the runaround by nature. Insurance company insiders have documented the intentional policy to delay, deny and defend all claims. We all pay tons of money into auto insurance - the reason is to adjust claims such as yours. If you've been injured, stop monkeying around and retain an attorney ASAP to avoid further runaround.

Unless the rules in Texas are different, if you need to ultimately file suit the only named party will be the person who hit you and not the insurance company; though payment will come from the insurance company. I realize this is a neighbor but you have losses. Something was taken from you and all you want is for this person through his insurance policy to give it back to you--to make you whole. That's why this person purchased insurance in the first place--to pay for injuries and damages they may cause.
If you have medical bills and you were hurt you should also consider making a claim for those injuries and not be satisfied with just payment of your bills. Again, someone took from you and all you are asking is for them to give it back. If you went to the store and you were shortchanged for a quart of milk you would want the store to pay you back for what they took--no more--but no less. This is no different. It's only fair and not fair if someone gets to cause you damage and fails to take personal responsibility for what they did.
You will never be treated fairly by the insurance company. They are not in that business. How do they make money. THey don't make anything or sell a product. THey make money by selling insurance. They get to keep the money the policy holder pays if no claims are made. They lose money if they have to pay on claims. Take money in and don't pay any out--that's their business. if they give you the "run around" long enough maybe you will go away and they will keep what is now your money.
Why not get a consultation with a Houston area personal injury attorney. Most personal injury attorneys provide a free initial consultation. You could talk to a couple near you and then select one that you feel comfortable with. You should also select one that is experienced. Best of luck.
Mr. Crosner is licensed to practice law in California and has been practicing law in California since 1978. The response herein is general legal and business analysis.. It is not intended nor construed to be "legal advice" but rather it is analysis, and different lawyers may analyze this matter differently, especially if there are additional facts not reflected in the question. Oftentimes the question does not include significant and important facts and timelines that, if known, could significantly change the reply and make it unsuitable. I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. See also avvo.com terms and conditions item 9, incorporated as if it was reprinted here.
I would recommend that you speak with an attorney about the process- even if you handle the claim yourself. Many injury attorneys offer a free no obligation consultation where you can ask questions about the process.
This answer is intended to be general in nature and not specific as to any person or fact situation. No attorney-client relationship exists for those reading this answer and readers should contact an attorney of their choosing for legal advice on their specific situation.
If you are only taking about property damage, then you can contact your own insurance company and let them handle it from there. They will pay your damage minus a deductible and they will go after the other insurance. That way you are not involved and can say it is just my insurance company.
If you were injured, or you don't want to pay a deductible, then you will need an attorney. If you have to file suit, you must file against the driver, but his insurance company will pay for his lawyer and any judgment awarded, so it should not cause any personal conflict.
This is not legal advice. You should always discuss the specifics of your issue in person with an attorney. Be aware that there are time limits on all claims that depend on the kind of claim, so do not delay in seeking an attorney.
Contrary to what some are saying, in Texas if the insurance company refuses to settle a claim reasonably, you must sue the driver individually. Insurance is just a Contract whereby an insurance company agrees to 1) provide a lawyer and defense when you get sued and 2) pay the judgment up to a certain amount (the policy limit.) thus, no you cannot sue the company. However, you shouldn't be afraid of bringing a lawsuit to make them pay what is fair. Even though you sue the person, it's the insurance company that pays.

The Time Traveler's Wife
€ 9,99
Sofort lieferbar
Juni 2004
BeschreibungThis extraordinary, magical novel is the story of Clare and Henry who have known each other since Clare was 6 and Henry was 36, and were married when Clare was 22 and Henry 30. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing. They struggle to lead normal lives in the face of a force they can neither prevent nor control. "I was ridiculously entranced by Audrey Niffenegger's big, reckless novel...utterly convincing" "Daily Telegraph"
PortraitAudrey Niffenegger is an exceptionally creative writer and visual artist who has achieved enormous success in both worlds. Her debut novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, has sold nearly five million copies worldwide and has been translated into thirty-three languages to date. A Richard & Judy book club choice in the UK, it has been a huge bestseller all round the world. In the Daily Telegraph's readers' poll of the 'Top 50 Books of All Time' it appeared at no. 11. Niffenegger is also the author of two 'novels-in-pictures', The Three Incestuous Sisters (2005) and The Adventuress (2006), both published by Jonathan Cape. Her graphic novel The Night Bookmobile was serialized in the Guardian and published on the Cape Graphic list. A Chicago native, Niffenegger received her MFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Northwestern University. Her art has been widely exhibited in the United States and is in the permanent collections of the Library of Congress and Harvard University's Houghton Library.
Pressestimmen"At its core The Time Traveler's Wife is an old-fashioned love story. A terrific book - startlingly original construction" Observer "I was ridiculously entranced by Audrey Niffenegger's big, reckless novel...utterly convincing" Daily Telegraph "Niffenegger exploits the possibilities of her fantasy scenario with immense skill: no wonder this novel has spent weeks on the bestseller lists in the US. This is one of those books that makes you want to eat it up from start to finish" Guardian "Wonky, sexy, incredible" The Times "Pick up Niffenegger's book and you'll experience a visceral thrill that only a few novels provide. An elegy to love and loss" Independent on Sunday

Women's Skirts
From kicky and casual to sleek and sophisticated, a few good skirts are wardrobe must-haves. But how do you decide which looks to stock up on? Pay attention to cut, length, fabric, and color or pattern. Skirts made of cotton and denim are durable and easy to clean for frequent wear. Those made from more delicate materials, such as silk or linen, might require dry cleaning, making them more suited for work than play or every day. If your body is somewhat rectangular in shape, look for flared skirts that add a bit of volume and create curves. Pear-shape women with fuller lower halves will likely find A-line skirts most flattering. Women with hourglass figures -- hips and shoulders about the same width with a well-defined waist -- can wear nearly any skirt cut.
