Successful Defense of Wrongful Death Claim and Insurance Coverage
Successfully settled two lawsuits filed against our client, an industrial machine manufacturing service company.
An industrial accident in which an employee was killed on the job led to a lawsuit against our client in which the employee's widow sought $1.9 million in damages. Our client's workers' compensation insurance carrier denied coverage, claiming the lawsuit was barred by the Exclusive Remedy Statute, or, in the alternative, that the loss was not covered under the Intentional Loss Exclusion in the insurance policy. This denial of coverage left our client facing a lawsuit in which the damages sought would have put it out of business.
A vigorous defense of the suit by our team of attorneys led to a settlement with the widow for $400,000, a fraction of the damages originally sued for.
Sussman then turned around and sued the workers' compensation insurance company, claiming a breach of duty in their denial of coverage. Complex and aggressive litigation ensued, with both sides exchanging discovery requests and filing Motions for Summary Judgment. In the end, the judge ruled that the insurance company had breached its duty. The judge ordered the insurance company to pay 100% of Sussman's fees and 85% of the settlement Sussman reached with the widow.
Almost a year and a half of litigation ended with our client getting back nearly all of what it paid to settle the original suit, including the fees incurred by our team in negotiating that settlement and then getting the insurance company to pay up. As a result, our client is quite pleased with the level of legal expertise offered by Sussman Shank.
Sussman Shank Prevails in Lease Guaranty Arbitration
We successfully defended a lease guaranty claim brought against Terri Waldroff by the landlords including Security and Investment Company of Lake Oswego, LLC. Waldroff was a minority member of the tenant of an assisted living facility in LaConner, Washington, and was sued by the landlords for amounts allegedly owed under the lease. Sussman Shank successfully argued that the landlords modified the risk under the guaranty which extinguished the guaranty. The arbitrator also awarded Waldroff her attorney fees. The arbitration award may not be appealed. Sussman Shank Partner Aaron Besen also assisted with his knowledge of the long term care industry and review of the commercial documentation.

End of my rope
5 comments:
Ashley- Thanks for the suggestion! Really! I've never heard of this, but and it's pretty much the same as we've done with our 4 older kiddos. The babes are pretty young yet to have stickers or delayed consequences work. And with 2 babes in one room, (no other options either) it's not as successful. BUT with time, and your recommendation that reinforce what I'm already doing, I'm confident it will work eventually... slowly... I'm feeling more optimistic about it lately.
Thank you so so much for the source! I'm gonna bookmark his work!
NancyAt least they are giggling. L would be screaming hysterically and hyperventilating. I predict she'll never meet a man cause she'll still be sleeping in her Mama's bed. Or should I say crying, talking in her sleep, kicking, hitting, pulling hair, scratching her hands and feet, and touching me with her feet, in her Mama's bed. Yeah, it's THAT bad.
ReplyDeleteSasha is doing the same thing. She was sleeping through the night for about a year and then suddenly she wakes up again and again throughout the night. I lost count at 14 times one night. Most nights it is only five or so times. She has started a new "fun" thing that if I don't get there quickly enough she will have worked herself into a screaming fit that has lasted up to an hour. That has happened about five times so far in the last couple of months. We will make it through this...lucky they are sooo cute.

Thinking about Losses and Grief Differently Universal phenomena Is challenging and distressing But it can be transformational, and most of us overtime develop skills and attitudes that assimilate our losses in our lives in a functional manner
Psychotherapy and Psychotherapist's Often miss or fail to identify the presence of loss and grief – unless of course the intake tells us the person is coming for bereavement counselling However, grieving a death of a loved one – is similar to other losses and may invoke similar responses
Loss Responses: Non-Death and Death We experience: Sadness, we confront and avoid painful emotions, we attempt to reorganize our world, we struggle with connection and disconnection Our new losses trigger material from our old world (attachment theory) we year to return to these preloss circumstances We try to make sense of losses, or make meaning, we are paralyzed, we are transformed, and struggle to integrate losses into our lives
Loss and Grief Terminology Bereavement: period of sorrow following the death of a significant other Loss: real or perceived deprivation of something deemed meaningful (death or non-death related) Grief: an emotion generated by an experience of loss characterized by sorrow and/or distress, and the personal and interpersonal experience of loss. Coping: Time limited reaction in which an event is endured or momentarily managed with coping skills Loss Adaptation: Process of adjusting to loss/grief (active process of modification, revision, reorganization, and assimilation over time
Changing Ideas Not linear - there is not necessarily a characteristic set of processes that each griever experiences or phases he / she must pass through Not abnormal – don't necessarily need to detach/sever from object we are grieving over Grief doesn't necessarily end We are not passive victims over our grieving We must assume personal, social, familial, historical, and culture, influences our grieving and healing – but not necessarily get caught by them
Grief is an individual phenomena!
Let's Chat about these Cases Kito Elena Jane Billy
What loss and grief loss requires the counselor to do: a.Prioritize uniqueness of our clients and their experiences within the context of their lives b.Recognize normality of grief, empower clients to be actively involved in their adaptation to loss, support clients without attempting to cure or fix them c.Respect clients as experts on themselves Let's talk about the last one… Humphrey Chapter 9 pgs. 213 – 219
Three Roles Witness Facilitator Collaborator
The Witness To observe, to listen, to hear, to remember, and to understand at the deepest level the powerful narratives of loss and grief We bear witness Thus as a witness we: 1.Listen more than we talk 2.Employ respectful silence 3.Fully attend (see what is here) 4.Exhibit comfort 5.Allow grief (don't fix even when clients request rescue) 6.No judgment
Facilitator Role Provide a framework conducive to functional loss adaptation Focus and structure Typical questions and framework How can I be of help? How is the session going thus far? Where should we be spending our time? We facilitate the clients work, but we don't do the work for them!
Facilitator Medicine: 1Encourage recognition and use clients strengths, resources and abilities 2Respect the natural ebb and flow of the grieving journey, including periods of disorder, impasse, resistance, and confusion as part of the loss adaptation process 3Consult with clients regularly as to direction of therapy, and usefulness of various techniques / activities 4Assist clients where they are - not where the counselor wants them to be
Collaborator Role 1.Collaborative counselors are more interested in client perspectives than they are in preconceived notions about grief based on expertness of others 2.Neither directive nor nondirective 3.Fellow explorer 4.Help clients educate themselves about themselves and their world past, present, future
Collaborator Medicine: 1.Respect clients as narrators of their own stories 2.Encourage and attitude of exploration and discovery 3.Rely and what and how questions to encourage reflection and ownership 4.Encourage divergent thinking (ideas) 5.Promote client resiliency
Key Technique in Working With Loss, Grief, and Bereaved Clients Master the Art of Silence Respectful silence is bearing witness Silence punctuates moments, prompts reflection, provides support, deepens process, and is healing We are creating a space for coping, holding, adapting We do not solve grief We do not rescue grief
Video Emersion: Practicing The Three Roles
Listening To and Listening For Loss and Grief Listen to this song…? What do you think is going on?
Let's not Get Ahead of ourselves? Why do we grieve? Love somebody? What is love?
Why Loss / Grief Clients Some clients specifically come for counseling due to loss and as a result of Bereavement Divorce Separation Loss of livelihood Because they believe they are not adjusting well
Why Loss / Grief Clients (cont.) However, most loss and grief experiences appear far more often in therapy not as the presenting problem, but as an underlying cause or contributing factor to client troubles. As we explore client anger often we reveal core losses that have never been addressed or were adequately grieved for. Refer to text pg. 19
Primary and Secondary Losses Primary Loss: significant loss event such as death Secondary Loss: come about as a result of a primary loss
Secondary Losses Acts a dominoes: and can arise as a chain of events from primary loss Death of spouse brings about loss of companionship, financial security, sexual intimacy, family role, social status Job loss: self-esteem, identity, financial security, sense of future Childhood sexual abuse: loss innocence, trust, sense of control, etc. Mental illness: loss of control over emotions, thoughts, family role, loss of occupation
The question to ask then or to understand in facilitating adaptation to loss that we must ask our clients? WHAT HAVE YOU LOST? Primary Loss = Relationship Questions we need to know:
Ambiguous Loss (AL) Two types ① Physically absent / psychologically present (e.g. kidnapping, people missing from natural disaster, divorce situations, baby put up for adoption, etc.) ② Physically present / psychologically absent:person is emotionally and cognitively missing (Alzheimer's, traumatic brain injury, addictions) The uncertainty characteristics of (AL) can bring about long term dysfunctional coping often contributing to complications in the grieving process
Stigmatized Losses Losses that reveal transgressions of societal norms or go against norms, mores, and folkways These include losses related to HIV/AIDS, suicide, violence (e.g., homicide, genocide, domestic violence, homelessness, sexual abuse, addictions, to name a few) Stigma attached to the loss, should they be allowed to grief? Family hides "the secret" These sufferers usually experience and have a difficult time getting over guilt, shame, blame and their support networks can often be limited Disenfranchised Grief
Cultural losses Historical oppression Racism Residential school Immigration
Psychosocial Factors: Facing Our Loss Now that we have seen that grief and loss are unique to the sufferer and that different losses bring with them different obstacles to adaptation let's look at psychosocial factors that impact grief and healing. Adaptive strategies Affective (emotional response / regulation) Cognitive (analysis, reframing, distraction or avoidance Behavioral(problem solving, activity, behavioral distraction) Spiritual (prayer, meditation, rituals)
Adaptive Strategies Can be used both positively and negatively Everyone has their own combination of adaptive strategies based on personality and life experience The idea is for the counselor and client to use which ones that are most helpful
30 Attachment Theory DDefinition of Attachment: AAn enduring emotional tie to a special person, characterized by a tendency to seek and maintain closeness, especially during times of stress. HHealthy and unhealthy attachments can predict duration and intensity of bereavement
Disrupted Meaning Structures Basic truths about the world = assumptive world Loss can shatter our assumptive world I don't know who I am anymore "shakes us to our foundations" An important job of the grief counselor is to help clients deal with disruption of their pre-loss meaning structures
Meaning Reconstruction 3 Phases ① Sense or meaning making Begins with exploring the "why" And maybe ends with "letting go of the why" Moreover, the counselor's aim here is to examine the meaning structures that once made one's world comprehensible, then renewing, redefining, or revising them to so as to restore balance
Benefit Finding: Phase 2 Learning to find personal growth in loss We may find a greater faith Transform our identity Develop competence or independence Its not above moving on – its about thriving in the aftermath of a reality we can't change
Identity Change Process of reorganizing and rebuilding a sense of self fragmented by loss Help client revise one's self narrative in a way that maintains continuity of a person while also incorporating altered aspects of the self We are always becoming
Video Emersion: Shattered Assumptive Word
Video II: Disrupted Meaning Structures
Other Psychosocial factors Personal history of Loss and Separation Developmental considerations Women's / Womanist development Racial Identity development Homosexual Identity development Faith Development
Social Support The better the quality of the grievers support network, the more functional is her or his loss adaptation Sometimes our notions of who will support us does not happen or our initial grief reactions, or deficits in our interpersonally functioning limit our reaching out to others. The latter support mechanisms and tendency's need to be explored by counselors
Uncomplicated and Complicated Grief Uncomplicated grieving Self-limiting Common symptoms gradually diminish (e.g. sadness, yearning, confusion, numbing, and loneliness) There is an increasing acceptance of the reality of death Steady integration of loss Grief is seen as normal Easing of symptoms can be observed 6 months to a year following the death
Complicated Bereavement Grief (Prigerson et al. 1995) Used to denote specific symptoms and level of distress due to a death (distinguishing primary disorder) Grief is prolonged Grief symptoms intensify rather than diminish Disability of death lingers, and loss is not observed to have been integrated
Toward Diagnosis: Four Proposed Criterions A.Symptoms must last for 6 months B.Symptoms cause marked dysfunction in social, occupations or other important domains C.Yearning, pining, longing for deceased must be experienced at least daily over past month to a distressing or disruptive degree D.4 symptoms of 8 must be experienced in the past month as extreme These are:
① Trouble accepting death ② Inability to trust others since the death ③ Excessive bitterness about the death ④ Feeling uneasy about moving on with one's life ⑤ Feeling emotionally numb/detached from others since death ⑥ Feeling life is meaningless without the deceased ⑦ Feeling the future holds no meaning without the deceased ⑧ Feeling agitated, jumpy, or on edge since the death
Let's talk about pathologizing grief
Contemporary Models of Loss Adaptation Martin and Doka's Adaptive Grieving Styles Dual Process Model of Coping
Adaptive Grieving Model Model focuses on: A.Specific patterns of grieving that is natural to the person, and A.The preferred cognitive, behavioral, affective, and spiritual strategies an individual uses to manage our innate response to loss
Continuum: 3 Basic Grieving Styles Intuitive Respond to loss: Through emotion Tend to express emotions intensely Blended Respond to loss Both intuitively and instrumentally Usually, however, will have a greater emphasis on one polarity Instrumental Respond to loss cognitively Modulate emotion Express grief in terms of thoughts and activity
A Closer Look at The: Intuitive and Instrumental…
Adaptive Grieving Styles Our style can shift along the continuum, but for the most part is generally consistent across time The model's grieving styles reflect and respect innate differences among individuals that result from personality, culture, familial, developmental, and social influences
Preferred Coping Strategies Affective Cognitive Behavioral Spiritual Any adaptive strategy may be used by an individual person, but there appears to be a clear preference for each grieving style Thus, an instrumental griever and intuitive griever may employ the same strategy, but it's use will be put in action for different means Sharing a story for an intuitive is done to express emotion and connect on emotional level with others, whereas an instrumental tells a story to to gather info, organize a response, or solve problems
Affective Strategies
Strategies at Work: Some Details Strategies that work at the beginning may not work during later adaptation Your strategy of adaptation may clash with spouse, siblings, and family, causing deterioration in overall support What if your counselor has a different innate adaptive strategy?
Counselors must what to make sure clients are utilizing their primary adaptive strategies It's good to have secondary strategies, but the secondary strategies may be ineffectively applied Counselor's job to root this out Strategies at Work: Some Details
Dissonant Responses Common for grievers to initially use secondary strategy and go against their natural style of grieving This can further complicate grief The discrepancy is resolved when the client/individual moves into innate response or in counseling when we fetter out clients primary strategy Reasons for dissonant responses include: personality, gender role socialization, type and intensity of grief, image management, substance abuse, etc.
What are we seeing here? Intuitive is going against her / his nature Dissonance typically occurs when the intuitive attempts to limit their internal experience
Dissonance response intuitive (cont.). They begin to use behavioral and CBT strategies: such as Avoid people who would otherwise elicit a emotional response, rationalize / intellectualize experience, Use alcohol / drugs to suppress emotion, overuse physical exercise to deny reality of loss, focus on everyone but themselves This type of strategy can lead to physical / emotional exhaustion, psychosomatic illness, estrangement from others, complications may also from risky behaviors
Dissonance Response: More Instrumental Griever
What are we seeing Here? Instrumental griever is in dissonance because they believe they should be feeling (believe there is something wrong with themselves) They are self critical and blame themselves Distance themselves from others because they believe they are cold, uncaring, and insensitive May conjure up feelings or loosen inhibitions (drink / rather than numb) to feel Provoke violence to feel Martin and Doka report that instrumental grievers may come to therapy for the problems created by the dissonance not the dissonance itself
Counseling Implications?

Who pays any attention to the reviews anyhow? Unless they're extremely low, I get most of my info off sites (iTunes Store OR Google Pay), then just check to see the app hasn't been absolutely panned. And I routinely hit the cancel button when bothered for a review.
When nominally essential apps (e.g. Facebook, etc.) are hitting 3-4, but everyone has them, that should tell you something.
Actually, I think the demise of the USB-A ports is a bigger issue for me; I haven't just thrown out all my USB-A stuff, and suddenly I'm doubling up on adapters for every drive, DAC, dock, etc. that I currently own.
I guess as long as it's shiny and silver I'll still buy one...
They sued and drove out of business everybody but Microsoft's GUI.

All the commenters above seem to think it's useless. The market is clearly saying that there are more people who have a use for it than there are Pi Zeros available. Raspberry may be guilty of poor market planning and the zero may not be useful to some people, but it darned sure seems to have surplus demand.

More than 80% of their speed, more than 90% of the time. So, let's say that 10% of the time it was at or below 80%. Now let's say that a day has 24 hours. So only 2.4 (call it 2) hours of the day was the connection more than 20% below advertised, possibly much more. Now let's say that that occurs when EVERYONE IS USING IT. The system fails under peak load, i'e. when it's being used. So most users will experience failure.

It's not like nobodies using the system when it's down. The system is down because it's being used. This is not an acceptable failure mode.

Evaluation of segmented 3D acquisition schemes for whole-brain high-resolution arterial spin labeling at 3 T

Fecha: 01-nov-2014
Recent technical developments have significantly increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of arterial spin labeled (ASL) perfusion MRI. Despite this, typical ASL acquisitions still employ large voxel sizes.
The purpose of this work was to implement and evaluate two ASL sequences optimized for whole-brain high-resolution perfusion imaging, combining pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL), background suppression (BS) and 3D segmented readouts, with different in-plane k-space trajectories. Identical labeling and BS pulses were implemented for both sequences.
Two segmented 3D readout schemes with different in-plane trajectories were compared: Cartesian (3D GRASE) and spiral (3D RARE Stack-Of-Spirals). High-resolution perfusion images (2 × 2 × 4 mm(3) ) were acquired in 15 young healthy volunteers with the two ASL sequences at 3 T. The quality of the perfusion maps was evaluated in terms of SNR and gray-to-white matter contrast. Point-spread-function simulations were carried out to assess the impact of readout differences on the effective resolution. The combination of pCASL, in-plane segmented 3D readouts and BS provided high-SNR high-resolution ASL perfusion images of the whole brain.
Although both sequences produced excellent image quality, the 3D RARE Stack-Of-Spirals readout yielded higher temporal and spatial SNR than 3D GRASE (spatial SNR = 8.5 ± 2.8 and 3.7 ± 1.4; temporal SNR = 27.4 ± 12.5 and 15.6 ± 7.6, respectively) and decreased through-plane blurring due to its inherent oversampling of the central k-space region, its reduced effective TE and shorter total readout time, at the expense of a slight increase in the effective in-plane voxel size.

text: Price of Kuwaiti crude oil dropped USD 0.4 in Monday\'s trading to reach USD 106,85 per barrel, compared to USD 106,89 pb in last Friday\'s trading, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation said in a statement on Tuesday. The retreat of the crude oil prices since the beginning of this week was due to wide-spread fears, fuelled by Europe\'s sovereign debt crisis. This comes following Moody\'s credit ratings agency\' warning of possibility of reducing the credit rating of sovereign debt in European countries, which spread concerns among investors and forced them to buy low-yielding assets. The USD hiked, reaching its highest levels since two weeks ago, partly as a result of investors\' refrain from buying risky high-yielding assets, namely the crude oil. Moreover, European Union (EU) leaders failed to agree on amendments of the EU\'s treaty, and this consensus led to an agreement on signing a new accord, intended to restore financial stability. This new treaty will also contribute in regaining confidence in the Euro, following the European debt crisis that has caused panic concering future of Europe. Crude oil prices are expected to remain bearish due to clear indicators about forecast slowdown of the international economy. (end) mam.ysa.lb KUNA 131222 Dec 11NNNN

The Journey Of The Cheese Sandwich! By Robert Harrington, 8D
The Mouth First the cheese sandwich will go into your mouth! In the mouth the teeth and jaw muscles will work together to break up the food into smaller pieces, this makes it easier to digest. The saliva in your mouth allows you to taste the food. Saliva also contains an enzyme. An enzyme breaks down large molecules into small ones. The enzyme in saliva begins to break down starch as you chew. The mouth is located at the lower part of your face above the chin.
The Gullet/Oesophagus The next part of the journey is in the gullet which is sometimes called oesophagus, it is a long tube in your neck. It can take as little as 2 seconds for the food to get down here! The walls of the gullet contract to move the food down into the stomach. The epiglottis closes the door to the windpipe so the food cant go down there!
The Stomach Five seconds after swallowing your cheese sandwich it will enter the stomach! A lot of things happen in here! The hydrochloric acid in the stomach kills most of the germs in your food, it will also break down the protein in the cheese. The muscles in the stomach walls mush the cheese sandwich into a thick fluid called chyme. The food is then forced through the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine. The stomach looks a bit like a J shaped bag and it is located under the ribs.
The Small Intestine After going through the pyloric sphincter, the cheese sandwich enters the small intestine! In here the food is digested more into simple molecules and is also put into the blood. The simple molecules include glucose (from carbohydrates) which is in the bread, amino acids (from protein) which is in the cheese and fatty acids (from the fat). There are lots of enzymes in the small intestine which are mixed with the food. Remains of undigested food are squeezed by the muscles around the intestine, through to the large intestine. The small intestine is located under the stomach and is followed by the large intestine.
The Large Intestine After going through the small intestine, any undigested food is squeezed into the large intestine. Mainly the fibres from fruit, vegetables and grain are found in here. The waste material in the large intestine are called faeces. Too much water in the faeces causes diarrhoea, but too little water in the faeces causes constipation. The large intestine is located around the small intestine and is connected to the rectum.
The Rectum This is the last part of the cheese sandwichs journey. Faeces are stored in the rectum until you need to go to the toilet. The rectum is the last 6 to 8 inches of the large intestine.
Diagram of the Digestive System Mouth
Food Groups The 3 food groups in a cheese sandwich are: Carbohydrates-this is found in the bread of the cheese sandwich and is mainly needed for energy. Carbohydrates should make up about 50% of your diet. Protein-this is found in the cheese and is needed to help us grow. Fat-this is also found in the cheese and provides needed energy, but eating too many fatty foods can be very unhealthy.

As one of the original tapas, this dish has South American influences and is zestier than most that you'll find. Tiger shrimp is cut into chunks combined with chopped red and yellow peppers, cucumbers, jalapeño and cilantro. Then it is chilled and marinated in fresh-squeezed citrus juices. The dish is topped with an avocado slice and accompanied with tortilla rounds for dipping. It is the perfect warm-weather dish. $8.50, 3900 Paradise Road, 369-3971.

Hi Sue,
I was intrigued so have got myself the workbook. I am a bit confused by the message about joining the forum for free as it seems to say there's a £1 a month subscription. Have you joined the forum? I'm scared to!RepliesYou do not have to pay any monthly subscription to use the basic Forum, just click onto the link I have provided above, from there click onto the 'The Club' heading, then click on the 'Forum 'heading in the bar across the top of the page. The forum Threads that you see there are all available completely free of charge to anyone that is interested in finding out about the Harcombe diet and taking part in the 14 Day Blitz. No doubt a special thread will be started in time for the start of the Blitz.
I have been a Plus Member of the Harcombe Diet website for a couple of years now, although I have sadly let things slip recently which is why I am joining in with the Blitz to get me back on track.
What a coincidence, I started back on the Harcombe Diet today! My daughter is getting married in September and today I bought a dress that will look a lot better once I've lost a good few pounds. I lost weight on the diet last year but found it hard to keep it up when we moved continent and were living in hotels for a month or so. It works, I feel better when I'm not eating junk, and ultimately I need to do this for my health as well as my vanity!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm glad I'm not the only one going on a diet, I have been doing daft things the last few days and I'm blaming it on the lack of sugar. How much do you want to lose?

If you've cut out sugar you will feel a bit foggy for a day or two, but ride it out suddenly you will get a wonderful clarity and you will be over your sugar addiction. I have just been reading Sarah Wilson's books 'I Quit Sugar' and the follow on, I think it's called Quit Sugar for Life'. Brilliant reading.I'm most definitely a sugar addict, I've been making jam this morning and cringing at how much sugar is used.

You can always take a baseball bat to the server and hit it until it starts working. Unfortunately that's not guaranteed to work but it might make you feel better. There are a number of steps you can take to conduct file server troubleshooting.
First identify if the file server issues are software or hardware related. Start with hardware first. It's easier to diagnose and identify. Hardware related problems generally show up as failures in booting the machine or in Systems logs. An example of a common hardware problem is bad blocks on disks or unseated cards causing beep codes upon boot. Typically resolving hardware issues involves replacing the bad or poorly functioning hardware component. I will often try installing a secondary file server first, transferring the data over to allow for parts to be replaced without affecting the end users.
Software problems come in a number of forms and factions. Because I don't know what software and operating system you're running, it's hard to give some guidance to this solution. First start with the application logs. Identify if there are errors being logged. More often than not, the file server is not working due to access permissions or file permissions. For larger deployments consider automating file permissions for consistency.
If no errors are logged in the application and the hardware is functioning properly, test the file server's network connectivity. Ensure that it has the ability to get to users by using tracert and ping. A non-functioning file server will have a problem in either of these categories, with more information I could certainly help provide more specifics. Hopefully this helps you not take a baseball bat to the fileserver.

Carefully drag a vegetable peeler the length of the zucchini to create long strands. Discard centers with the seeds.
Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat with the butter. Add the zucchini and quickly toss to coat with the butter. Add parsley, thyme, oregano, and lemon pepper. Toss again and warm through, about 1 minute. Add the egg noodles. Toss once again until pasta is warmed through but zucchini remains crisp tender. Taste and adjust flavor with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Toss again and serve warm.

Stay fit, stay fabulous. That's the mantra actor Bipasha Basu swears by. A fitness enthusiast, the 32-year-old Bollywood diva talks about fitness, fashion winter care and lot more:
What's your fitness mantra?
I'm a fitness enthusiast and it takes a lot of discipline and special care to get a fit body. It is important that you exercise everyday to stay fit. The main emphasis should be on working out the abs and lower limbs.
A mix of cardio and weight training helps. These are important just not for a good bikini body but a fit and fabulous body in general. I also stick to a specific diet and keep away from sweets. I never indulge in junk food and most importantly, I eat on time. I'm glad I did all this because my discipline has paid off and I have received umpteen compliments for the look.
How do you take care of yourself in winter?
I primarily take a healthy diet comprising vitamin B2 or Riboflavin. A good moisturiser helps a long way in keeping skin nourished in this season. Chapped lips are one of the most common problems in this season so a good lip balm is a must. I use Vasocare and even apply a thin coat before putting on lipstick. Most importantly, even if you don't feel thirsty, keep yourself well- hydrated by having lots of water. I drink around eight glasses of water every day.
Do you plan to roll out more fitness videos in future?
My fitness DVD, Bipasha Basu Love Yourself — Fit and Fabulous You was appreciated and has inspired me to work towards my next DVD.
I am aiming at launching a series of DVDs in 2012. My first DVD was more women-centric so my male fans wrote back requesting not to neglect them. So, now I am working towards something that will be beneficial for both men and women.
Lastly, what is your fashion mantra?
Comfort comes first. I prefer my garments to be comfortable and of course fashionable. I pick garments which reflect my personality and my penchant for fitness.
One must exercise everyday. The main emphasis should be on working out the abs and lower limbs. A mix of cardio and weight training helps
I might launch my next series of fitness DVDs in 2012. My first DVD was more women-centric, but these would benefit even men.

"unReal" is for those of us who escape. A film that celebrates breaking free from the confines of reality and venturing into a boundless world. This place isn't remote or hard to find, and yet many never see it. Here, glacial walls transform into mountain bike trails, rain and snow aren't the only elements to fall from the sky and thousand pound mammals become riding partners. Breathtaking visuals conjure feelings of awe and pure joy; feelings that only those of us who venture outside can truly understand. This film is dedicated to you - the dreamers, the rule-breakers, the ones who never grow up, the ones who know the secret - the ones who know the way into the unReal world.

I know how the MacBook chargers come with an extension that attaches to the metal thing so you change the country plug (sorry, probably not a very good description), and it makes the lead about 2 times as long. Is there something like this for the iPad charger? Thanks
Is this what you are asking for? Amazon.com: 30-pin Male to Female Dock Extender for iPod and iPhone - Black Extension Cable (4 feet): MP3 Players & Accessories 30-Pin Female to Male Charging & Data Extension Cable for iPhone / iPad / the New iPad - Free Shipping - DealExtreme I have similar one from ebay but haven't tested if it works. DX stuff is cheap but so is the quality. Takes about 4 weeks to receive the products.
I believe you are talking about this. I bought one and it works perfect with the iPad charger. Amazon.com: AC Power Adapter US Extension Wall Cord for Apple Mac: Computers & Accessories
One thing you should consider when using an extension with the iPad charging cable is that the extra resistance caused by the longer charging cord will cause charging times to increase.
If you use a USB extension cable, be sure it's large gauge wire and gold contacts for the best chance of charging quickly. Cheap cables can lengthen your charging time significantly.
I have bought several cheapo cables that did not work well---either for charging or data transfer. On the other hand, I have a couple of usb extender cables (usb connectors of opposite sexes on the two ends) that both work very well.
People talk about quality of cables but seem to have little understanding about cables. One can get quality cables that are very inexpensive. The best way to ensure getting one is to pay attention to the source of the cable, not the cost and certainly not whether it has gold plating or not. Stay away from eBay since the true source is always known (unless you are buying a name bland item). Monoprice is always a good place to buy cables. AmazonBasic is another. It is not hard to make a good cable that has quality connectors on either end with sound electrical connections along the length and with good insulation. Gold plating and other marketing talk are just ways to extract more money from folks. USB extension cables (as mentioned by another member in this thread) are another good way to go with apple since they use a proprietary connector on the device side. Since all cables are made from good conductors and are not very long (6 ft is not long), the added electrical resistance is a non issue (as long decent connectors and electrical connections are present within the cable).

Horses, like humans, often benefit from a chiropractic adjustment. Typically equine chiropractic work is not a full-time job, but is done in collaboration with a similar career, such as equine medicine or human chiropractic, according to the Education Portal website.
Little information is available on the specific salary of equine chiropractors, as most equine chiropractors use equine chiropractic as part of a career in veterinary medicine or human chiropractic. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, equine veterinarians make an average of $41,636 a year, as of 2008, while chiropractors average $66,490 a year.
Hourly Rate
Most equine chiropractors are licensed veterinarians or human chiropractors. Each type of equine chiropractor receives a different salary, based on his qualifications and regional location. As equine chiropractic services are typically not full-time positions, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data show that an equine-exclusive veterinarian may expect to make around $20 for an hour of chiropractic service, assuming a 40-hour work week, while a licensed human chiropractor may expect an average of $32 per hour of equine chiropractic service.
While equine veterinarians and human chiropractors are the most common equine chiropractors, other types of veterinarians may wish to pursue part-time work in equine chiropractic. Large animal veterinarians treat horses, though not exclusively, and make an average of $62,424 a year, while veterinarians in mixed practices, seeing both large and small animals, average a yearly salary of $58,522, according to the BLS. The Salary Expert website also notes that animal-specific chiropractors may make between $45,905 and $112,602 in an average year, depending on location and experience.

Read an Excerpt
What Daddy Doesn't Know
By Tara Quinn
Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.
Copyright © 2004 Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd.All right reserved.
Chapter One
"MS. MCNEIL, your daughter spit at her teacher. We don't tolerate things like that at Tyler Elementary."After one quick exchange of glances with her eight-year-old daughter, Juliet McNeil understood that Mary Jane's story was different from the principal's. She fought the feeling of dread seeping through her. If Mrs. Cummings kicked Mary Jane out, Juliet's child would be facing the fourth new school in her brief, three-year educational career.
"Mary Jane will apologize to her teacher," she said for the third time that Friday morning. "And she and I will speak more about this when we get home."
The woman leaned forward, not a strand of her clearly dyed reddish-brown hair moving out of place. Probably didn't dare to. "I hesitate to say this in front of the child, Ms. McNeil ..."
Juliet looked at the raised face of her simple but elegant gold watch, trying to distract herself from the panic that threatened to make her sound harsher than she intended.
"Anything you have to say to me regarding Mary Jane can be said in front of her," she said calmly. That calm was hard to come by when what she wanted to do was yell. Or cry. "I try not to hide things from my daughter and it seems to work well for us."
Mary Jane had only been in this San Diego public school since the January semester change, and after two months the writing was already on the wall. The child was too intelligent for her own good, a free spirit, too outspoken - all of which made it hard for her to fit in with other kids her age.
She also had a father who didn't know she existed.
"Yes, well, then." The principal turned from Juliet to the fine-boned child sitting in a vinyl chair next to her mother, her skinny legs, mostly covered by an ankle-length denim skirt, sticking straight out in front of her. Mary Jane, her hands folded across her stomach and her short dark hair a riot of curls framing her cherub cheeks, looked the epitome of innocence. And in Juliet's opinion, that was exactly what she was.
"The thing is, Ms. McNeil," the woman started again a full thirty seconds later, "I'm not so sure these talks you have with your child are doing much good. Nor do I think a simple apology will do it this time."
"Spitting was wrong, I agree," Juliet said in a conciliatory tone. As a private defense attorney, she'd had a lot of experience reading jurors' faces. Mrs. Cummings had already made up her mind on this one. Juliet brushed an auburn curl over her shoulder and continued anyway. "It's also not something Mary Jane has ever done before. I wonder, has anyone asked her about the incident?"
The older woman, her forehead creased in a clear expression of impatience, said, "Yes, I have the complete report from Mrs. Thacker."
"What reason did Mary Jane give for spitting at her teacher?"
A heavy sigh came from the seat next to Juliet. Her daughter's ankle-length black boots bobbed. Juliet didn't dare look over. She couldn't afford the distraction.
She also didn't have time to find another school right now.
But even without that look of confirmation from her daughter earlier, Juliet couldn't believe Mary Jane would really do such a thing. Drop something and break it, spill something, trip over something, probably. But spit at her teacher? The child was never deliberately mean.
"She spit on her teacher!" Mrs. Cummings said.
"I really think the reason is irrelevant."
Mary Jane could take the truth, but she was still a child. Her feelings could be hurt by thoughtless adults passing judgment without knowledge or understanding.
"Do you mind if we just ask her?" The whisper brush of hose against hose as Juliet crossed one ankle over the other sounded loud. "The first amendment to the Constitution of this country states that everyone has a right to a trial."
Her hands locked on the top of her desk, Mrs. Cummings didn't move. Though her smile was rather ghostly, it remained in place as she studied Juliet. Then, slowly, she turned her gaze to the little girl whose wide-eyed look almost lost her mother the ground she'd just won.
"Okay, Mary Jane, can you tell me why you spit on Mrs. Thacker?"
"I didn't actually spit on her." Mary Jane's voice, though somewhat subdued as she stared her principal in the eye, was her usual peculiar combination of childhood lisp and adultlike delivery.
Mrs. Cummings sat up straighter, her lips pinched with disapproval. "We have witnesses, several of them."
"I did spit and it did get on her," Mary Jane explained, eyes sincere. "I just didn't mean it to get on her. She walked around the corner and I couldn't make it stop coming out."
God, Juliet loved this child. "Why did you spit at all?" she asked.
Mary Jane glanced down, moving her boots back and forth against each other. "Jeff Turner said that I was backward because there were lots of things I don't know how to do 'cause I don't have a dad to teach me."
She and Mary Jane were happy together. Why couldn't the world just let them be?
"Things like spitting?" Juliet asked.
Mary Jane nodded. "So I told him I could too spit, as good as anyone with a dad. And he told me to prove it, so that's what I was doing when Mrs. Thacker came to call us in from recess."
Trying not to smile at that image, or to think about the hurtful things kids did to each other, Juliet looked back at the principal. And waited. This was her call.
"The point is -" Mrs. Cummings, hands together, leaned toward Juliet "- that your daughter, whether she meant to or not, spit on her teacher in front of all the other children. We can't just ignore that fact. Maintaining the discipline required to prevent mayhem with six hundred students all in one building for six hours every day takes diligence and carefully protected boundaries."
"I understand, but -"
"I was quite willing to sign the necessary forms to allow Mary Jane to attend this institution even though she lives outside our boundaries, but she has not lived up to her side of the agreement. I'm going to -"
She couldn't bear to see Mary Jane become the outsider again as a new kid in yet another school. "Please, Mrs. Cummings." Juliet sat forward. She'd beg if she had to. She was just beginning jury selection on the biggest trial of her career - opposing Paul Schuster, a prosecutor who put far much more value on winning than on truth.

Why Did Burris Accept Blagojevich's Offer?

It's no mystery why Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich would want to appoint Roland Burris to Illinois' vacant Senate seat.
By offering the job to an unobjectionable elder statesman, Blagojevich is saying, in effect, "See, I didn't sell the seat." This dovetails with the argument Blagojevich's lawyers are making to try to head off his impeachment. Their case is that everything on those tapes was just talk. Blagojevich, they argue, didn't do anything wrong.
The real mystery, though, is why Burris would accept the appointment. He's going to face a fight even to make it into the Senate. He's now associated with a governor whose approval ratings are in the single digits. And, because of that association, he's very unlikely to win a full term in the Senate when the seat is up in 2010. Who needs all that hassle?
Apparently, the answer is Roland Burris. On an earlier post today, a commenter pointed to this very interesting article on Burris from Illinois Issues in 1998:
Like Chicago athletes Michael Jordan and Ryne Sandberg, Roland Burris has heeded voices, perhaps internal as well as external, and returned to the field more than once. He has yet to enjoy the success of his athletic counterparts, though. And critics claim that while his quixotic comebacks, including unsuccessful bids for U.S. Senate and Chicago mayor, apparently haven't dented his psyche, they may have bruised his credibility Nevertheless, Burris is making an eighth try in 22 years for statewide office.
But why chuck a good life and a role as something of a Democratic elder statesman for another grueling campaign? Burris is asked that question in his sparsely furnished -headquarters on Chicago's LaSalle Street, an office that overlooks the Thompson Center, where he hopes to move into the governor's suite next year. Burris, who has his hands folded under his chin, gazes out the window at the beckoning state complex. "My life is not where my heart is," he says. "I should get back into the arena where I can affect policy."
Fair enough, but critics say a policy agenda is not what really drives Burris. He has, they say, a politician's share, if not more, of ego and ambition. In 1989, for example, when invited by Statehouse reporters to give the rebuttal at a Press Room fund raiser that skewers politicians, he raised some eyebrows by pretending to be "The Greatest," Mohammed Ali.
Note that Burris had this reputation as someone who couldn't resist the limelight even before his 2002 bid for governor. Now, a decade after that article, he's still not ready to step out of the spotlight.

Those few of you that know me know the trials and tribulations of the business I am in. Last week we feverishly launched a new website, http://www.realityrox.tv . We launched it with the Spike Network on a show called Casino Cinema. The host we selected to launch the show was Playboy Playmate Stephanie Heinrich. Stephanie launched and discussed http://www.realityrox.tv on October 8, 2007.
Today, after looking a little closer into our stats for the site, we noticed that Stephanie received a ranking on Googles hottest trends. She was ranked number 16 on the http://www.google.com trends list. http://www.realityrox.tv ranked 68th. A little further research determined that both Stephanie and RealityRox made some waves on bloggers hot trends lists, and Miss Heinrich even ranked number 2 on a few!
I just thought you would be interested in what an impact was made on that one day of the launch. Pretty cool to know that many people at least had a minimal interest! Guess the advertisers are happy!
