Terrible service! I don't know if it is a hotels.com issue or the people renting the apartment! When we got there, we have to key in a PIN to get the key to the apartment, we have done this on a previous visit to Zurich at another apartment and the PIN was in our booking confirmation. For this particular booking, we were not sent any PIN for getting the key, their mailbox states that you need to key in the last 4 digits of the booking confirmation as the PIN - which we did and it didn't work. We had to call the number displayed on the mailbox, on international roaming to get a PIN (which was no where close to the last 4 digits of the booking confirmation) for the keys! It might seem like a simple thing to do but it is annoying if you have been travelling and it is snowing when you are stuck outside with bags and no idea about the key. The room was ok, clean but felt older than it seems in photos. The location was fairly okay with the central station being a few tram stations away and about 15 mins of walk down the hill. The only good thing was the tram station was steps away, so we didn't need to carrry our bagpacks too long. If you book earlier, I think Zurich has much more options and better apartments at the price - this was certainly over-priced. We have had a very nice apartment in Zurich on our previous stay 2 years ago at a much lower price.
This was a terrible booking. I chose Swiss Star because they said they were 50 meters from the Zurich train station IT WAS NOT. It was a very long walk up several hills. Luckily we found some helpful strangers to show us the way. there was no one at the hotel to voice our complaint. In addition, the room was on the 5th floor, no elevators. It was an attic that had slanted ceilings which meant it was a very narrow room. One step to the right or left and you hit your head which I did twice. Supplies were at a minimum. No sheets, just a mattress pad and a heavy duffet. AND no AC. The weather has been in 100's and they could not provide a fan??? ALSO the room pictured on the website was not what we got. THIS DUMP WAS A TOTAL rip-off and deceptively presented. They should be banned from your website. How do I get a refund?
Good rooms. But wifi did not work.. No service but location was great...
Lovely little apartment. We enjoyed our stay!
I would definitely book this hotel for my next short stay in Zurich, if the price doesnt go up:) I chose this hotel because I knew the area, easy access to the train station, the national museum, the university, the river, the cafes and parks..from other reviews I couldnt get a clear idea of how the experience would be, but considering we were only staying for one night and the prices very reasonable so I went for it. It turned out to be a good experience, everything went smoothly, the hotels right by the road, near the tramway/bus stop so it was easy to spot, after keying in the code (from an email earlier by the hotel) on the keybox device we got the keys to the building and our room(number on the key tag). The size of the space, the kitchen and the balcony were definitely a plus, especially with the balcony you have an open view of the city (not the perfect view but quite impressive considering the location is a bit back on the hill). And a good size supermarket - coop is right across the street. My only complaint would be about the double bed, it was soft but not a good size for two persons, quite squeezed..I chose a one-bedroom room, Im not sure if that means only for one person because that will be ideal. We took train so I didnt know much about the parking situation. All in all, its a good choice if you are looking for a budget stay at a good location with good space.

Ladies Night
July 11th, 2009
So, that's where he carries his dip.
(submitted by Alisa)
Who knew Alec Baldwin had square junk?
OMG! That looks like my ex…
I'm wondering where these ladies other hands are that are preventing him from making it to the exit sign.
Is it just me, or does he look like he might start to cry if the tip isn't good enough?
I loved the way the woman on the left pursed her lips :))
I'm gonna need that box of tissues on the table–Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I'm dying laughing right now!
ugh, I wonder what happened to that greasy, IROC, driving bo-hunk from Queens…
Holy, sh*t, he's married. :O
just a stage ring. Keeps the lovelorn wacko's at bay.
As Blanch says in an episode of GOLDEN GIRLS re Mr. Big-"I know that guy, that's just a stage name."
ha ha YES, a classic line!
If he painted on a couple of little eyes (or better yet, use buttons) and two nostrils on there, his junk could be a pig face! So sweet!
I could so envision that!!!
Sausages for dinner?
Are they suppose to stash dip cans in their gstring?
Thank you , I am howling because I somehow missed that!
It's not a dip can, it's a change purse in case of lousy tippers.
"Oh I thought you said "Chip & Dale's" ….
Ha Ha Good one!
Oohhhhh, he's almost a hot as Magic Jeff!
I'm sorry to say, I've seen photos of my mum's hen night…
and it looked depressingly like this
Wow, Tony Danza's career has really gone downhill.
so thats where my pair of socks went!?
Yep right there. Above that glass, in front of the pitcher.

A firm believer in following curiosity, I've developed a diverse set of skills over the years that includes writing, editing, art direction, design, illustration, and prop styling.

I've authored seven books and founded the Inc. creative business series with Chronicle Books; designed several books including Knit to Flatter (STC Craft) and Repurposed Library (STC Craft); been featured in publications such as Sunset, Real Living, and Real Simple; served as a guest on radio programs including Martha Stewart Living Radio, After the Jump, and KPFA; written for sites/publications like San Francisco Chronicle and Design Sponge; served as a speaker at CCA, Alt Summit and EWIP; and received design awards from The Pasadena Museum of California Art, Print Magazine, and Western Publishing Association (Maggie Award).

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid ProblemsCoolant Pump on Hybrid May Fail and Cause CEL/Engine Shutdown
The hybrid models have a coolant pump that cools control electronics. The pump can fail or spin slowly, which causes a Check Engine Light to illuminate and complete engine shut down.
An abnormal noise may develop from the transfer case. At this time parts are not available to repair internal damage to this type of transfer case, replacement is the only option. It is not uncommon for irregular tire wear to cause a similar noise. Diagnoses should be performed to confirm the actual cause of the driveline noise. Tire noise can be reduced by rotating the tires at least every 5000 miles.
Hard driving conditions, including quick starts from a stop and hard acceleration up hills, can cause the rear motor mount to crack. The broken motor mount needs to be replaced, otherwise damage to the hybrid drive system may result.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hey guys,
I just wacthed a few movies based on the revolutionary war in the US and thought if there are any MMOs and or RPGs/Strategies out there that are based around the same principle.
Weaponry like musckets and so forth whilst staying true to the culture back in the 17th century.
Im moreso looking for a MMO but ill take suggestions from the others (maybe a browser based game?). Im fairly open to most things, PVP/PVE, graphics and so forth, just moreso the settings i am interested in. I love history and how it has evolved and would like to see if there are games around that era.
Empire: Total War is the closest thing
They couldn't have been all that good of movies, considering that the American Revolutionary War was in the 18th century, not the 17th.
It's not an MMO, and it's not really even an RPG, but Liberty or Death did try to keep to the historical setting.

Medigap, as it ls often called, is the name given to health care plans usually called Medicare Supplement Insurance. Medigap Insurance Plans supplement the gaps in Medicare health protection that are not taken care of by Medicare Parts A & B.
A Medigap Plan is not an alternative for standard Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Plan, but instead works in conjunction with standard Medicare.

Facebook this month finally admitted that posts by business pages were being served up fewer times in users' news feed than content from news sources. They claim that clicks on news content rose 170 percent this year, indicating that people crave those types of posts. Prior to that, Google's Hummingbird update was seen as a way of rewarding sites for good content based on the intent of users' searches. With these changes, we've heard many, many SEOs and Social Media Marketers declare that "Content is King." Heck…we even wrote about content being king a few years ago. Well, I hate to burst their/our bubble, as if we all had discovered Noah's Ark or something but, folks….content has ALWAYS been king!

The Oscars. The Grammy's. The Tony's. The Emmy's. The Pulitzer Prize. They all have one thing in common….they celebrate outstanding, even at times remarkable, content. Consider the vast number of movies that have focused on the American era of slavery and the Civil War. Why does a film like this year's "12 Years a Slave" get heaps of praise, and award nominations, while 2003's "Gods and Generals," which arguably had a better cast lead by Oscar-winner Robert Duvall, is considered one of the worst Civil War films of all time? Many would say, "Well…it's probably the director's fault." Yet the director of "Gods and Generals" was Ronald Maxwell, who had previously explored the Civil War topic in the far superior, and critically acclaimed, "Gettysburg." It's simple…the content was just better. The story was better. The writing of the story was better. And how the story was presented was better.
Content Kings Have Always Led the Pack
Every day, news happens. Whether it's the current controversy over the sign-language imposter at the Nelson Mandela memorial service or revelations about the National Security Agency's (NSA) intelligence gathering techniques or the National Basketball Associations (NBA) results from last night…it all gets reported by hundreds of sources. So why, then, do many consider The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Times (London), The Washington Post and even USA Today as credible, and thus very popular, information sources? It is because they are what I consider Content Kings. They have, for many, many years, delivered a consistently high level of news reporting. In short, they create great content. With all due respect to bloggers out there, these sources are just better at what they do because they have been doing it for a long time. They create great content because they hire great content creators. They instill a level of professionalism that comes from a legacy of building a reputation that has withstood the test of time.
The same can be said for the "Big 3" network news programs. We were reminded recently during the 50-year anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination that many people learned of the tragic news through Walter Cronkite and the CBS Evening News. One might think that today, 72 years after the introduction of CBS's news program, we would have moved on from that source. Based on the exposure some sources get these days, some might even think that the nation now only gets its news from online sources or the ever-increasing slate of cable news shows/networks. A quick look at the TV ratings, however, reminds us that Content Kings still rule the day. The number one show of any type during the week of November 25? "60 Minutes." And who produces that show? CBS News. And for how long has "60 Minutes" been cranking out great content? 45 years!
How Do You Create Good Content? Hire Good Writers!
We tweet. We post. We link. We blog. We pitch. We chat. We text. So many ways to communicate, linked by a common skill…writing. Despite this, when we hire, we look for people with social media skills or an SEO background or video capabilities or some kind of relevant business experience. Yet so much…SO much…of what we do boils down to good, old-fashioned writing.
Do you request writing samples when you are hiring? If you say, "well…it depends on the position," I would argue that no, it doesn't. Not any more. Will the web developer you hire communicate directly with a client via e-mail? Then he should know how to write professionally and represent your brand well. Will the video producer be charged with submitting creative briefs and storyboards? He can't do that well without writing skills. Will an SEO have to create a compelling pitch to a link source? The effort will be far more effective if written well.
You will find it a challenge these days to find good writers, as was noted in this article about "Why Johnny Can't Write," (which I found via…wait for it….NBC News). It points to a real problem…technology and other skills have been given greater weights recently while writing seems to be an assumed skill that most can do adequately. But adequate shouldn't cut it! Persevere to find the people whose writing inspires you to hire them in the first place. That's a good start!
And remember that content doesn't just appear on your social media pages, your web site or blog. E-mail is content. A status report is content. An invoice is content. Your comptroller, community managers, interns, business development people…they must all have strong writing skills to succeed, or you risk having your brand brought down by weak content. Alternatively, your brand can be significantly bolstered by a consistently high level of content at every turn.
Hire good writers and you, too, can become a Content King!

Interesting thought – that writing skills should be the first gate a job candidate should pass through. You might have a point there – especially in a marketing agency.
BTW – the news sites ARE still some of the best sources of great content. But I do find content that is equally – if not sometimes better – on blogs. Maria Popova's Brainpickings.org is a great example – her posts are top notch.
Paul Rakov
Thanks, Ric. I certainly didn't mean that blogs aren't a good source of content. A LOT of them are, as you noted…especially in our industry.
Abe Uchitelle
I'm glad you mentioned email writing, Paul. It's something I have been thinking a lot about recently. The importance of being effective with email on the business development side is critical.
Evan Auerbach
Spot on Paul… Now that everyone has caught on to the buzz term "content marketing" people are creating content left and right, but how much of it good? In 2014, context will be the new "it" term. We're already seeing the changes made by Facebook and Google to reward good content. From now on, people will either need to create good content , or face the consequences.
As I once heard (was it from Brian Clark), the writer runs the show. And I would add… so, you better make sure you've got a good writer. One who not only knows how to deliver mind-blowing content BUT also knows how to use language to connect, to move, to inspire or even entertain.
Content may be king. But I think it's losing its throne to connection. I've seen people create pretty questionable content, but because their intention was to make a connection, to touch something in their reader, to be helpful (not just a smarty pants), their message was gobbled up eagerly by their readers.
So, yes, hire good writers. Writers who can do your brand proud. But more importantly, make a connection with those you're trying reach.
Good points, Nancy! And I know this is the kind for stuff you talk about on your blog at Firecracker Communications (http://www.firecrackercommunications.com/). Note to all…Nancy is an excellent writer!
Ric Dragon (@RicDragon)
ah, thats kind of my spiel, Nancy – creating a duo of relevance and context. Those connections place us in a context with our communities – our networks. (can you see my mind spinning?)
Aprajita Kohli
Marvels!! such great Methods here…. Thanks to Paul Rakov for Sharing a advisory and essential information that will definitely guide us .
David Black
The problem has become an epidemic – as the so called 'bloggers' are pushed to write 'good content' the whole web has become littered with gibberish – the trouble we now face is sorting out real content from quickly churned out rubbish, created for the sake of generating 'keyword' links.
What we need are good writers who actually have an interest in what they're writing before the entire internet seizes up under the weight of worthless text.
Amen, David. As several have pointed out, good blogs are out there, they are very well written and have been established as valuable information sources. However, the ease in which one can start a blog versus the a legitimate news organization has, unfortunately, given people with little writing or journalism experience an outlet. But like with most everything else, the wheat will continue to be separated from the chaff.
Denise Holt
Great article, Paul! You should definitely write more. … Interestingly to your point about network news, I think they are the go-to sources by a lot of people out of habit, but I think the tide has been turning for awhile in regard to trust of their information. I think these days people tend to trust blogs more because they know the network messages are bought and carry a paid for agenda, and they have been found to lie a lot. … It's interesting, but all the more reason for the focus by every brand to make sure they have quality offerings for their audience. : )
Denise…very kind of you. Thanks. You brought up trust, which is a very good point. Do we trust mainstream media any more? I think we do, but perhaps too much as you've pointed out. However, many blogs have an "agenda" they are putting forth so, their bias is showing as much as the Big 3 at times. It is a great time in which we live that we have so many choices, unlike the days of Walter Cronkite and Co. when there were far fewer news sources. What and who to trust falls on the consumer and our ability to form our own opinions based on multiple inputs. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Landon Donovan issued an apology to his team-mates in the White Hart Lane dressing room after missing an open goal against Tottenham yesterday and costing Everton a point.
The United States forward, who came on as a substitute, admits he cannot understand how he stabbed his finish wide after being picked out by Jack Rodwell at the far post.
"Landon said sorry to us afterwards," said midfielder Mikel Arteta.
Donovan came on to chase the game and earn Everton a draw to help their bid for a European place as they recover from a poor start to the season.
"This is just a really disappointing moment for me personally," Donovan, 27, said. "I've put a lot into my time here and another goal would have been a nice reward.
"I got myself in a good position at the back post and was hoping Jack was going to put the ball across goal. He did that and it came perfectly for me.
"It's hard to understand what went wrong. I felt like everything was right but then I looked up to see the ball had hit the side-netting.
"It's so frustrating because if we had scored then it's possible we might have gone on to win the game.
"It's tough but we've got to put this behind us now and move on. There are still a lot of points to play for."
Everton boss David Moyes admits it is a long shot for his side to join the race for the top four - "we would need to be on an incredible run" is his assessment - but has been encouraged by Phil Jagielka's return to the squad following his recovery from a serious knee injury.
"He made a massive difference when he came on against Spurs," Moyes said. "On his day he's a really top defender. He's probably not ready for 90 minutes yet."
Moyes, when asked about Jagielka's England chances, added: "He was certainly in their views. If he plays like he did against Spurs he's not far away."
Louis Saha missed the trip to Spurs with injuries to his hamstring and Achilles, problems that led to France calling up former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse for the friendly against Spain on Wednesday.

I'm going to venture a guess that most of the readers of the California Construction Law Blog have not spent time in jail (or, at least, not much time there). And that when they think of bonds the first thing they think of is Bad Boy Bail Bonds, Bulldog Bail Bonds or some other colorful name which includes the word "bonds" and is associated with those of us who are less than law abiding . . . like Barry Bonds.
But the bonds I'm talking about are payment bonds, and they work in pretty much the same way, sans criminal charges.
A payment bond is a promise by one party (the surety) to pay a third-party (the obligee) an obligation owed by another party (the principal).
Or, to put it another way, a payment bond is a type of bond issued by a surety on behalf of a principal, such as a direct contractor, which guarantees the principal's payment obligations to an obligee, such as a subcontractor or material supplier, for work performed or materials provided by the obligee.
Like an insurance policy, a premium is paid by a principal to a surety company to obtain a payment bond. Premiums are typically 1 to 5% of the bond amount. However, unlike an insurance policy, if a surety has to pay out on a payment bond to an obligee, the principal has to reimburse the surety for the full amount the surety had to pay out on the payment bond to the obligee. To help ensure they are paid back, most surety companies require that a payment bond be personally guaranteed by a credit worthy owner of the principal.
On federal projects, direct contractors are required to furnish payment bonds for federal construction contracts in excess of $100,000.
On California public works projects, direct contractors are required to furnish payment bonds for public works contracts in excess of $25,000.
In all other cases, whether a payment bond is required is up to the agreement of the parties.
Note: When a direct contractor is required to furnish a payment bond, direct contractors often include a "flow-down" provision in their subcontracts with their subcontractors requiring that their subcontractors furnish payment bonds for their subcontract work.
Subcontractors and material suppliers under contract with the direct contractor or second-tier subcontractors or second-tier material suppliers of a subcontractor under contract with a direct contractor can make an claim on a payment bond. Notice this subtle but important distinction. Thus, second-tier subcontractors or second-tier material suppliers of a material supplier under contract with a direct contractor are not entitled to bring such claims.
Do I need to serve a preliminary notice in order to make a claim on a payment bond?
Yes, and oddly, no. Yes, on private projects, you are supposed to serve a preliminary notice in order to make a claim on a payment bond if you are a first- or second-tier subcontractor or material supplier. In addition, on public projects, you are supposed to serve a preliminary notice in order to make a claim on a payment bond if you are a second-tier subcontractor or material supplier of a first-tier subcontractor.
Note: A preliminary notice is not required to be served if the work to be furnished has a value of $400 or less. Likewise, laborers are not required to serve a preliminary notice.
However, there is an exception A payment bond claimant may still make a claim against a payment bond even though it failed to serve a preliminary notice if the claimant: (1) gives written notice to the surety and principal within 15 days after recordation of a notice of completion; or (2) if no notice of completion is recorded, gives written notice to the surety and principal within 75 days after completion of the work of improvement.
California law does not specify what information must be included in a payment bond claim. In fact, other than giving notice of a claim when a preliminary notice was required to be served but was not, California law does not provide that a payment bond claimant has to tender a claim at all. Nevertheless, I believe it is a good practice to do so, because the alternative is to proceed directly to filing a lawsuit which can be expensive and time consuming.
At a minimum, I suggest sending the principal and surety a payment bond claim by certified mail which includes the following:
Yes. However, the deadline to file a lawsuit to enforce a claim on a payment bond depends on whether the claim is being made on a payment bond on a public works project or private works project.
(1) 90 days after completion of the project; or
(2) 30 days after the owner records a notice of completion or cessation.
(1) 4 years if the payment bond was not recorded; or
(2) 6 months if the payment bond was recorded.
Note: You should get a copy of the payment bond because sureties can shorten the deadline in which a payment bond claimant has to make a claim on a payment bond. The only restriction is that sureties are not allowed to reduce the period to less than 6 months. Therefore, just because a payment bond was not recorded, does not necessarily mean that you have 4 years to bring an action to enforce a payment bond claim.
It depends. Reasonable attorney's fees are recoverable when enforcing a payment bond claim on a public works project. However, on private works projects, whether attorney's fees are recoverable, depends on the terms of the bond.

A pain in the mouth
Q For the past 18 months or so I have been suffering from chronic mouth ulcers. They seem to appear in cycles every week or so, with an ulcer-free week in between. They occur in different parts of my mouth, often - and most painfully - on my tongue, with as many as five at any one time. I have seen my GP about them, and he gave me a blood test which showed nothing untoward. I wondered if there were any alternative treatments for them that you could suggest. I am an otherwise fit and healthy, non-smoking man in my mid-30s.
A Your mouth ulcers sound really troublesome and it must be frustrating not to be able to find an underlying cause or successful treatment. They can occasionlly be a sign of an underlying disease - most commonly Crohn's disease that causes bowel inflammation and would mean you suffered from diarrhoea, weight loss and other symptoms that you clearly don't have. If you have bleeding gums when you brush your teeth and bad breath (ask your best friend), your ulcers could be linked to gum disease. A swab of the ulcers would show typical cells known as Vincent's organisms. Treatment would involve antibiotics and serious descaling work by a keen dentist.
If you have a permanently sore tongue and cracks at the sides of your mouth, in addition to your ulcers, you may be iron deficient. If the ulcers are actually sore, white spots, you may have thrush in your mouth which can occur if you use steroid sprays for asthma, are on oral streroids, or having other underlying immune problems. Unfortunately, what you've probably got is known as recurrent apthous ulceration - a fancy name but no known cure. It's sensible to avoid trauma to the lining of the mouth so check for chipped teeth and avoid over-hard brushing. Steer clear of spicy foods, acid fruits like lemons and hot drinks while you have the ulcers. You can rinse your mouth four times a day with a salt mouthwash using half a teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water. Adcortyl in orabase is a paste available on prescription that contains a mild steroid and soothes the soreness.
Bitter pill
Q I have great difficulty swallowing pills and tablets. I've tried swallowing with water and without, but tablets just get stuck in my throat, and I often end up choking. Consequently, I avoid taking tablets if I can help it, but now I have a mental block about it - they just fill me with horror. Can you suggest why I should have this problem and what I could do to solve it?
A Lots of people share your problem. Clearly, if you have diffficulty swallowing food or drink, you may have an underlying problem that needs urgent investigation. But if the problem's confined to tablets and everything else slips down your throat smoothly, you really don't need to worry. You've probably been given some huge, horsepill-size tablet at some stage or had that unpleasant experience where a bitter tasting pill starts to dissolve in your mouth before you can swallow it whole. Pills are made to taste bitter if not swallowed whole to deter toddlers from eating them like Smarties. If you want to overcome your antipathy to tablets and pills, try a tiny, coated pill like an enteric-coated aspirin or a multivitamin pill designed for kids to show yourself that you can do it if you really try.
Cramping my style
Q I am 28 years old and frequently suffer from cramp in my feet, particularly the toes, and my calves. I play football once a week for one hour but do not experience these cramps during or after the game - they seem to come about mainly when I am doing nothing. I have been told that a lack of salt in my diet may be the cause of this. If so, are there any salt supplements I can take as I am not a big fan of covering my food in salt?
A It does sound like muscle cramp which happens when muscles contract with great intensity and stay contracted for up to a minute, before relaxing again. Underlying causes are the exception rather than the norm; dehydration with salt and other mineral disturbances in the blood are highly unlikely in our northern climate, bends and cramps can occur during deep sea diving, and poor circulation, diabetes, thrombosis and muscle injuries can all cause pains in the calves.
However, your description definitely sounds like the most inocuous type of muscle cramps. If you're generally well and the cramps come and go and never persist, it's not really worth having any particular blood tests as they're unlikely to show a problem. The key to avoiding cramps is to stretch well before exercise - own up, how often do you warm up before football or do you launch yourself from desk to pitch with no inbetween stage? If you do get a cramp, massage from the edge of the cramp inwards, squeezing the muscle gently. If it persists, get into a warm bath and stretch and massage your leg while in the water. You're absolutely right to avoid extra salt - it won't help the cramps and it may give you high blood pressure.

Believe in Luck? These 9 Ordinary People Sure Do
Coincidence? Divine intervention? A really good day? Whatever way you define luck, these people got it.
The Family on the Bridge
Last January, Kelli Groves, 36, settled in to drive the final stretch of a four-hour road trip from her home in San Juan Capistrano, California, to Mission San Luis Obispo. In the backseat, her daughter Sage, ten, huddled under a blanket to watch a movie on her mom's laptop; infant daughter, Mylo, dozed in a car seat.
Suddenly, as Groves was crossing a bridge on Highway 101, a semitruck attempted to cut in front of her BMW but slammed into its passenger side, instantly pinning the sedan to the guardrail. The truck careened off the bridge and exploded in a ravine 100 feet below, killing the driver.
Groves's BMW dangled halfway off the bridge. "I thought that within a few seconds, we were going over," says Groves.
Santa Barbara County firefighters arrived on the scene and tried to stabilize the car with ropes and a tow truck cable, but still the BMW teetered ominously as they sawed it apart to free the family. One firefighter shouted, "We need to stop cutting. We're losing the car!"
Inside the vehicle, the older girl appeared to be in shock, mumbling, "Help, help." Groves couldn't see either child. She reached for the baby, and her hand came back bloody. "I kept tapping her to make her cry, to make sure she was still alive," Groves says.
Meanwhile, the firefighters had managed to extricate Sage. "We had to [pull] her out first to have room to get to Kelli and the baby," says firefighter Greg Nuckols.
At the same time, a group of Seabees from a Navy construction battalion pulled up, towing a large forklift. They could see the BMW wobbling at the edge of the bridge and determined that the forklift, which was capable of holding 11,000 pounds, could support the car while rescuers worked their way inside.
With the fire department's consent, PO 1st Class Frankie Cruz maneuvered the forklift to the vehicle and held it in place. While the forklift cradled the car, rescuers used the jaws of life to slice through the BMW's mangled roof and pull out Groves and Mylo.
The three victims were rushed to a nearby hospital. Groves suffered a broken pelvis, and Sage had multiple wounds and broken bones. Mylo had emerged with just a few cuts. "That's impossible!" Groves said with astonishment when she heard the news. Even now, a year after the accident, Groves says the amazing series of events "still baffles me."
