|This is a repost. But really, who cares, right?
If Humans are Trusting Beings, What Does it Mean That We Have Become So Distrusting?
In my Introduction to Global Peace Studies class I recently assigned my students Noam Chomsky's talk The Evil Scourge of Terrorism, wherein he lists crime after crime committed by the United States government—a war of terror in the name of "The War on Terror" that stretched from George W. Bush back to the Kennedy administration. My students, as often happens, took the article at face value and were shocked at the atrocities Chomsky listed. Yet when I performed my professorly duties of playing devil's advocate and asked my students to consider how Bush and the others might respond to these allegations, how they might deny any criminality and further demand proof of these charges, the students immediately did a 180 and either took the government's side against Chomsky or threw their hands up impotently, commenting on how this was why they didn't watch the News. In response I asked them to break up into groups and try to figure out how to deal with situations like this, situations where they didn't know who to believe, and though they officially came up with ideas like "keep an open mind" and "focus on the facts," their unanimous unofficial answer was: trust no one.

"We can no longer conceal from ourselves what is expressed by all that willing which has taken its direction from the ascetic ideal: this hatred of the human, and even more of the animal, and more still of the material, this horror of the senses, of reason itself, this fear of happiness and beauty, this longing to get away from all appearance, change, becoming, death, wishing, from longing itself—all this means—let us dare to grasp it—a will to nothingness, an aversion to life, a rebellion against the most fundamental presuppositions of life; but it is and remains a will!… And, to repeat in conclusion what I said at the beginning: man would rather will nothingness than not will." — Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

If you are a website owner, I bet you have ever received an email from an unknown person telling you that your rankings are terrible and that they can help you appear among the top on Google's index. Some of the emails these "SEO consultants" send are quite compelling, and you may be tempted to hire them.
Should you ever pay for SEO services? The answer to this mind blogging question depends on several factors. Let's take a look at some the factors:
What Is The SEO Consultant Offering?
Yes, the first thing you should consider is what the SEO expert is offering. I have received hundreds of emails from random "SEO experts" and here are the common things that you will find in their pitches:
• More Backlinks: The SEO expert will give you a long pitch of how he can help your website get more backlinks. They will tell you that they have been in the business for long and have helped many who get backlinks. Don't be misled! Buying backlinks violate Google's terms and policies and will hurt your SEO instead of improving it.
• Pay Per Click: The expert will also offer to run your Google Ads and manage you Ad budget. What will you get from this? Your website will appear Google's paid ads section.
• Audit: What is an audit? An audit, also known as on-site optimization, is where you will have someone evaluate how your blog or site is performing regarding load time, keyword density, titles, structure and anything else that affects your site's rankings.
• They Will Offer Local SEO: This is where an SEO expert or agency tries to improve your site's ranking on Google map and other local search results by improving your location, G+ profile and so on.
• A full custom Package: The pitch will also include a full management package. The expert will tell you that the full management package will help your SEO strategy adapt a more modern approach to search engine optimization. The package may include the following: paid search marketing, content creation, Social media and other things related to SEO.
• Spam Your Competitors: This is probably the most horrifying thing you will read in those emails. These experts will tell you that they can help you spam your competitors so you can rank better than them. What do I mean by spamming your competitors? This where you create a false rumor about your competitors so people can use your products or services instead.
Some of the things these 'SEO experts' offer are useful while some are totally against Google's guidelines and are very risky. So should you ever pay for SEO services? Well, while there are some services that go against Google terms, there are those services that can benefit your website, and Google is okay with them. So the answer is yes you can pay for SEO services. You should, however, be careful when dealing with an SEO agency. Make sure you consider this factor before you hire an SEO firm:
I. Who Contacted Who?
If an SEO company contacted you first, don't hire them. They could be scammers or new in the game. Either way, hiring them will only lead to frustrations. Hire an SEO company that is made up of a team that is qualified and has been in the business for years.
II. Was The Email Personalized?
If the initial email starts with "Dear sir/madam," don't hire the SEO agency. The agency does not know who you are, let alone what your business is all about. If the initial email was personalized, you could hire them because they took the time to study your business and know what it actually needs.
III. Portfolio
Does the SEO Company have a portfolio? Credible SEO agencies have rich portfolios and will gladly share their previous customers' contact is you ask them to. A rich portfolio is a clear sign of experience and expertise. If they don't have a portfolio, ran!
IV. How cheap are Their Services?
Good SEO is never cheap. A reputable SEO agency will never charge a few hundred dollars for their services. For this reason, if an agency offers super cheap SEO services, they could be scammers.
V. Is There Any Information About Them Online?
I agree that Googling about a company can never truly tell you is a company is genuine or not. We are in the digital era, and reviews can be faked. All in all, you need to ensure you spend some time researching the SEO Company you want to hire. This will help you know a more about them. You should also conduct offline research; ask your friends and colleagues if they have ever heard of the SEO agency. If they have never heard of it, it's time to find another company.
Here are some search engine optimization services and products that are worth your time and resources.
1. Analysis Tools
Analysis tools will help you know how your site is performing when compared to your competitors. The information you get from this tools will help you come up with relevant SEO strategies.
2. Plugins and Enhancement Tools
There smart people out there who have created plugins and enhancement tools that will help improve your SEO. Some of these plugins and enhancements help make navigation easier, which, in turn, attract more visitors.
3. Yoast SEO
Many bloggers are now using Yoast's SEO plugin because it helps improve their SEO performance. You can decide to spend a few dollars to purchase the premium version. It will help make the SEO process easier.
4. The human side of SEO
If, your website, is performing poorly on search engines, hiring someone to help you with SEO can be wise. You should, however, be careful and ensure you hire someone who knows what he/she is doing.
If you know how SEO works and can do I yourself, then well and good. If you don't know much about SEO and want to hire someone, make sure you do online and offline research before you hire; this will help you choose an SEO expert who is knowledgeable, experienced and qualified.

Come on, confess; you love candy. You want to eat chocolate. Cookies, ice cream. And then there is the way you dialogue in your own head, that either allows you to do it some of the time, all of the time, none of the time.
Everyone has their own inner dialogue. I call it 'tape loops'. No, not fruit loops, although you might want that as well! I call them 'tape loops', because they are the voices in our head that are usually on automatic pilot. They criticize, congratulate, or simply tell us what, when, and how much we should or shouldn't eat. I call this: eating from the head, and not the stomach.
My 'tape loops', after spending years dieting when I was a dancer were: "I shouldn't eat that". Of course, there was the rebellion from that by eating as much of it after a show was over, and I didn't have an audition!
When I changed careers and became a therapist, I attempted to solve this rut and stop dieting. (I figured no one ever fired their shrink for gaining a few pounds!) Thus ended the tyranny of criticizing myself anytime I wanted or ate foods that I thought wouldn't 'fit' the dancer's body I was always aspiring to have.
Doing this helped me to connect to my stomach; I call it 'Eating Like a Kid'. A particularly young one because even as early as age 2, kids can begin to eat for reasons that have little to do with what their tummies tell them. They might eat to please mommy, or demand sugar because it provokes a fun fight where they get to feel strong and powerful. As early as age 2, kids can eat for reasons other than what their bodies tell them; even to help them soothe anxious or sad feelings.
Figuring out what you bring to the table when you serve dinner, (and I am not talking about the food here!) is a part of how you shape your kids eating habits. After spending hundreds of hours interviewing parents on their behaviors with their kids' food, stemming from their own food legacy, or even tape loops, I have loosely grouped our behaviors into roughly 3 categories: (From my tape loops and rebellious nature, I find that I tend to fall closer to the under-involved category). You can see if you fit in anywhere:
1) Over-involved: You have a hard time relaxing and not worrying about how your child is eating. You may hover and feel the urge to tell your child when they are hungry, full and what to eat and have trouble when they eat in ways you aren't comfortable with.
2) Under-involved: You tend to ignore your child's eating behavior and you might be uncomfortable structuring your child more if they need the help. You may feel that paralyzed to say anything about your child's food, and being comfortable with authoritative parenting when it comes to your kids' eating habits.
3) Unrealistic standards: You have set high standards for your child's eating habits either because these work for you and your diet, or you feel you have failed at having good eating habits and are determined that your child will only 'eat healthy'.
So this is where we start. Figuring out our own attitudes and how this shapes our behavior around feeding is a part of giving our kids a healthy relationship with food. We want to keep our kids' connected to their tummies, and preserve their ability to be moderate. So, depending on where you fall in the categories, you may find that you need to do more backing off, or be less rigid. Some kids may need help structuring, and you may need to help them transition from eating, so that they learn to wait while their brain sends the signal to their tummy that they are done, or full.
Food is the last thing you want to have to struggle with. My goal is to take the worry and fret out of feeding, and to help mealtime be a time for connecting and enjoyment. So see if while you are trying to help your child eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full, you too, can turn off your head, and try, like them, to 'Eat Like a Kid'!
No, I did not say the "Fudge Factor" and weight loss, much as that is what you are wishing for. Although, like I say with any of your favorite foods; yes, you can lose weight eating chocolate, ice cream, and okay, fudge, too.
But I am talking here about something they call the "Nudge Factor". I was reading about it in the New York Times Magazine this weekend, where a phenomenon was described in Holland. Basically, they drew flies around the drain of the urinals in the men's rooms in airports there, and found an 80% reduction in the spillage, or messes usually found. It seems that men really do love a target. My guess is that is that there might be a little hardwiring operative here, but the really interesting aspect is the simplicity of the environmental cue, and its powerful effect.
Unfortunately, weight loss and maintaining weight loss, is a much more complex issue. It goes beyond information about nutrition, or a rational understanding of what one 'should' or 'shouldn't do. If it were simple, the diet industry would not be doing such a bang up business.
However, I am going to tilt this 'nudge factor' a bit, and rather than thinking of it simply as environmental cueing of behavior, I am going to think of 'the nudge' of behavior, in a 'less is more' manner.
There are two ways you could think of it, to see if you could pick one thing in your life, one of your habits with food and/or exercise, that you want to change. The two principles we are working with here are:
1) Subtle changes in your environment, or not so subtle, that help 'cue' you to do the thing you want to; i.e. put your sneakers on first thing in the morning after you get out of bed if you really want to push yourself to exercise, or keep the lights off in the kitchen after dinnertime and truly imagine the kitchen as closed.
2) Less is More. The idea that you need to pick some aspects of your eating or exercise that you can modify a little bit. Not too drastically since you stand more of a chance of losing the weight and then regaining it, if it really doesn't fit into regular life. Think less 'Diet,' and more 'Tweak'. So for instance, when you reach for your fourth handful of chips, stop at 3. Or perhaps 2. Slight modification.
Along with the less is more concept, (when you berate yourself that you didn't get to the gym) do 3 sets of pushups. Start with two if you can't do more, and keep your knees down. Again, start small. We are talking small modifications. Work up to 3 sets of reps, no more than 10, and you only need to try to do it 2-3 x a week. Over time, you will be amazed at how small 'tweaks' modify your behavior. Little bits add up, and when we are talking input output here of calories taken in and burnt, things start to happen. More importantly, your motivation will be sustained, as it will be more realistically built into your life.
I know you have to work a little harder to figure this out; I wish I could just come paint flies on your fridge. Although, hey, try that; it might just work!
Happy Tweaking!
retorted one woman back to her husband when he accused her of putting on a bit more room in the rumpus. Pointing to his belly fat, she accurately predicted that he had more of a chance of dying from his weight problem than she.
Too bad, so sad. This does seem to be accurate, men. Weight in the middle tends to squeeze the organs, as we heard yesterday on the Today Show from the editor of Men's Magazine who is out with a book on getting rid of Belly Fat.
Despite the fact that men and women seem to struggle with weight in fairly equal numbers as adults, women do tend to put weight on in their butts, vs. their stomachs. (Of course there are body types where this is not the case.)
Hormones play a big role here, (surprise, surprise!) since we women tend to hold onto weight where we store estrogen: in our butts, hips, thighs, upper arms, and yes, of course, our stomachs. One of the quickest ways to redress this issue as adults, is to decrease alcohol, which makes our bodies hold onto 'puff' in those areas. Ever notice that if you are drinking regularly when you take some breaks and eat the same amount, you lose weight? Other tip: since we women already have generally more muscle mass in our legs, hips and thighs; designed for carrying kids around, do pushups! You want to increase the muscle mass and therefore metabolism, in your upper body!
But as I am talking her of female vs. male differences in weight gain, you can think about yourself as a preteen, or if you have kids, of your teenagers.
Since my work tends to be focused on kids and eating problem prevention, I am often consulting with parents of girls around age 8-12. This is a time when nutritionists tell me they tend to get the most referrals: from anxious parents who worry about the 'puffiness' or chunkiness that can appear in formerly thin girls.
Guys on the other hand, are building muscle mass, another fat burner, and want to chunk out. They have a way better shot at the fat turning into muscle with their hormones and biological predisposition toward developing more muscle mass during puberty. Hence, the trend toward girls beginning to diet, starting around middle and high school, and guys eating their parents out of house and home.
Having three girls myself, I too, have been hit with the complaints as my daughters hit puberty and put on weight where they are storing estrogen. I do my thing, warn them to stay away from dieting, and not to deprive themselves too much, but to eat consciously and in a balanced way, most of the time. They are going to be dealing with body and weight for the rest of their lives, as most women do, and I want to de-emphasize one particular moment in their growing period, and focus more on the eating habits that they have, which to me, have to include enjoying 'pigging out' with friends on candy. What can I say, I think that is an important bonding ritual. Obviously needs to be balanced.
But if you are a parent out there of a preteen and are worrying about the changes in your daughter's body, try to focus more on their eating behaviors, and don't let them diet. This can start a pattern of on-off eating, that can create more eating problems than if you wait out this period and see what happens as they are further into their teens, after their period starts.
And remind them: "No one ever died of a big butt!"
Happy Eating!

In 2012 Little Light Accounting was established to help small businesses with their accounting. As a business owner myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to get started. I also understand how overwhelming it can be if you don't know what to do with your business to make sure you are ready for tax time.
It is important that business owners are equipped with the tools necessary to provide the information needed during tax time. Your accountant can't be with you 24/7 but having someone in your corner providing you information as needed is critical to your business' success.
On my business website I have a PDF that you can download that has the three most common tax tips needed for small home based businesses. By signing up for my newsletter, the PDF will be sent directly to your inbox. The emails that follow also provide valuable tax information to build your accounting knowledge and business so that it moves in the right direction.

The painting was inspired by a distressing scene in Sergei Eisenstein's film "Battleship Potemkin" (1925): the close-up view of a screaming woman whose right eye is a bloody wound. Bacon has undressed his hysterical figure, placed her in a bare room, and further isolated her with thin, light-hued lines alluding to a glass box or cage. What is more, his painterly treatment of her face and body is so "crude" and so dynamic that we have the impression of a human being maltreated to the utmost degree, right at this very never-ending instant. Thoughts of violence, murder and torture come to mind.
Yet the painting has no storyline. The pain remains unexplained, we learn nothing about the who or the why. The scene thus defies unequivocal interpretation. And indeed, Bacon never wanted to be interpreted, but rather experienced by the viewer. It was for this reason as well that he insisted on the work's conspicuous glazing: the viewer and the subject merge in the strong reflection of the glass. Hardly any artist of the twentieth century succeeded in concentrating the brutality of the age on canvas to such a degree as Bacon.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — A home in Cyprus where police seized five tons of a chemical compound that can be turned into an explosive had been kept under surveillance for some time before officers moved in, a government official said Wednesday.
Authorities put the Larnaca home in their sights after being tipped off, Justice Minister Ionas Nicolaou told The Associated Press, without revealing the source.
Police are holding a 26-year-old Lebanese-Canadian man in connection with the seizure. He faces charges of conspiracy to commit a criminal offense and possession and transportation of explosives.
A security official told the AP that the suspect arrived in Cyprus on May 21st and that authorities are also searching for the man who owns the home, in connection with the case.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he isn't authorized to discuss information involving security matters.
It's unclear what use was intended for the cache of ammonium nitrate, which was stored in about 420 boxes.
The official said the suspect is denying the charges and isn't cooperating with authorities, which are investigating whether he's linked to Lebanon's anti-Israeli group Hezbollah.
The suspect is due to appear in court Thursday for renewal of his detention order. In his first court appearance last week, the judge ordered the proceedings to be closed to the public after a request by the state prosecutor.
In 2013, a Cyprus court sentenced a Swedish-Lebanese man who admitted he was a Hezbollah member to four years in prison after finding him guilty of helping to plan attacks on Israelis in Cyprus. No Israelis were attacked.

Q: What is the best time to start college planning?
A: Most colleges will have admissions requirements based on high school classes and overall grade point average (GPA). Many will also want a resume of extra-curricular activities throughout high school. When students apply to colleges during their senior year, this means that their 9th through 11th grade classes and grades are the numbers used by colleges. The junior year should be the exploring year for students to consider college options and visiting college campuses.
Q: How should I decide which colleges I should consider?
A: A number of factors may come into play in deciding where to start: area of study, size, location, costs, competitiveness, extra-curricular, etc. Resource material is available with information on colleges at book stores, libraries, and the internet. Also, a good place to start is by taking time to visit nearby colleges that vary in size, cost and programs.
Q: When is the best time to visit colleges?
A: The college visit is essential to get a first-hand look and feel for a school. It is best to visit on a typical day with students on campus: going to classes, eating in the cafeteria, socializing and being able to observe students in classroom settings. The campus tour should include exposure to campus buildings, housing, recreational, sports, music facilities, classrooms and study areas.
Q: I do not have a strong academic record. Are there colleges that would be a possibility for me?
A: Most colleges take a holistic approach to the admissions process. They consider the caliber of classes taken, the extra-curricular activities, recommendations, test scores, the high school, and many ask for a personal statement. In addition to the GPA or class rank, all of these factors are taken into consideration. There are colleges that have open admissions and do not have selective requirements. So yes, there are many possibilities.
Q: I have no idea what I want to study in college. Is it important to have a major selected when applying to colleges?
A: This is a major stress factor for many high school students as they contemplate college. Students are asked by friends, family, extended family and college admissions personnel what they plan to study. As a result, students virtually guess at what they think they should major in without enough experience about the area of study or knowledge of themselves to know if the career fits their personality and talents. The fact is that the vast majority of students who declare a major in high school will end up changing their major several times. The first two years of college open students' minds to the endless possibilities for them to consider. Most all colleges provide students career classes, career programs and advisers to assist students in discovering their talents as they relate to careers.
Q: I know a college degree is important and I know it is very expensive. I want to go but I don't want to take out loans that will put me deep in debt. What can I do?
A: Yes, colleges are expensive and they realize the importance of helping students and families find ways of funding their education without going into deep debt. It could be scholarships, grants, work study or low interest loans that are affordable. Applying to a variety of schools will give you a chance to compare offers. Also, colleges can vary greatly in their costs. Certainly, community colleges and state universities offer lower rates and a number of out-of-state schools offer competitive rates. Keep in mind that all colleges will provide a financial aid "package" in March of your senior year with all the costs and aid provided. You then have until May 1st to decide which is the best offer.
Q: I am a pretty good student but I don't do well on standardized tests like the ACT. Since many colleges put emphasis on the ACT score for acceptance, what can I do?
A: Over 815 four-year colleges and universities across the U.S. act on the belief that "test scores do not equal merit" and do not use the SAT or ACT to make admissions decisions about a substantial number of their incoming freshmen classes. Community Colleges also do not require ACT or SAT scores for acceptance. Also, colleges using the holistic approach may minimize the emphasis of the standardized score.

Sales Enquires0845 505 8500
Broadway's all black production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof will arrive at the Novello this November. The show boasts some big names, starring the Cosby Show's Phylicia Rashad as Big Mama and the legendary Star Wars actor James Earl Jones as the tyrannical Big Daddy.
The production received mixed reviews on Broadway but it defied the critics and sold out its entire run at the Broadhurst Theatre within weeks. Only intended as a limited run, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof did not extend, despite enormous demand. A London staging was announced some weeks ago, yet a venue was only confirmed this week.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, with its Broadway success and big names, will hopefully put the Novello back on its feet. The venue is now commonly associated with its early closing musicals than the hugely successful plays it has staged. The 2008/2009 RSC season was a phenomenon at the Novello, thanks in no small part to David Tennant's appearance in Hamlet, which caused riots at stage door. Shadowlands starring Charles dance was also a success at the Novello, playing its extension out at the Wyndham's.
The closure of Spring Awakening last month has prompted two very good decisions for the Novello. A limited run of An Inspector Calls begins in September. Being on the national curriculum, Priestley's classic will bring in audiences by the coachload.
However, it is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof that promises to be the hit the Novello deserves. Joining Rashad and Jones is British actor Adrian Lester, star of popular TV shows Bonekickers and Hustle. An all black production of a classic play is a surefire hit with a ready made audience, and already looks to be the hot ticket of 2010.
Performances of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof begin on 21 November.

This week, members are encouraged take a critical look at their eating habits and write down everything they eat in a journal, or on a Whole Living Community blog post. For a little inspiration, check out the Editors' blog section with posts from a variety of women including Audris, a mom from Chicago and Leah, a newlywed in Michigan.
These featured bloggers are helpful guides in navigating the Whole Living plan. For example, Leah recently blogged about challenges in incorporating new vegetables like beets and cauliflower in to her diet (she and her husband were devoted eaters of kale, sweet potatoes and other green and orange options). She included recipes for using some of these newcomers to her kitchen, so other members can try them out, too.

Post welding operations is crucial to the quality control. Smooth them to ensure your weld quality and success.
In pursuing the careers in welding, rather, being a fitter welder, there may be nothing more satisfactory than having your job done and admiring your creation with the clever hands. Still, to enjoy that moment, you should make sure the job is well done, on time and aligned with all requirement. Any qualified work would scream professionalism, time and waste reduction and customer satisfaction. Then let's see what post welding operations to ensure productivity are.
By the time you have finished your weld, just clean and have a visual inspection of your work. Utilizing a fillet gauge or flashlight to find for abnormalities or defects, inclusive of flaws, dimension errors, shadows.
Following are problems that you should care about:
1. Underfilled groove welds, oversized welds or undersized fillet welds.
Solution: add to the existing weld for requirements met and re-measure using fillet gauge.
2. Porosity: There may appear holes within the weld or on the surface due to trapped gas.
Solution: first check with QC, then carbon arc your weld and reweld, or grind/ chip away slag. Ensure you make carbon arcing disengagement as soon as possible for injury prevention.
3. Undercut welds (over 1/32''): They result from the welding arc without being backfilled. This problem, sometimes, occurs when you weld too fast or weld at bad angle. Relies on the material thickness.
Solution: Add 1/8"- 3/16" to the weld's top toe area. If the weld comes with concave throat, or tall top-toe and short bottom-toe, attempt some addition to the bottom toe first, then repair the top toe. Check how qualified the weld bead is. Don't grind out, oversize the base metal, or fix the undercut using the air chipper to peen the toes, unless directed by the QC.
4. Wire whiskers: The wire is fused to your weld, causing holes.
Solution: Grind away the holes, and reweld.
5. Lacking fusion (roll over/ cold roll): This can induce cracks, and affect the weld strength.
Solution: Grind away unwanted metal, measure again and weld again.
6. Cracks: This would do harm to the weld strength, and must be definitely eliminated. For example,
- Crater crack occurs when your weld is stopped, and there appears the star-shaped pattern at the weld end.
- Face crack occurs when there is weld surface tension. It's observable, especially in the concave weld bead.
- Heat-affected-zone (HAZ) crack comes from a flaw in the material worsened during the welding process. Sometimes, it's visible. If not, there may need Non-Destructive Testing techniques.
Solution: Check the condition with QC, but commonly, cracks are required to be eliminated and weld refilled to address requirements.
Your weld done!
Ensure you fill out the inspection wheel and get your material inspected by the QC. Just check with the shop lead, and work well with the place that will next send your material. As far as safety comes, alert the next station (shipping, painting or blasting) whether your material is hot.

Catastrophic Injuries
No matter where you live or work in Maine, sudden events that cause catastrophic injuries can happen to anyone at any anytime. Catastrophic injuries often cause permanent damage and substantially life altering disability. While catastrophic injuries can improve over time with proper treatment and care, the cost of such care can quickly become staggering. The Maine personal injury lawyers at Briggs & Wholey understand the need to obtain quality health care and financial support while treating lifelong injuries under these circumstances.
Alison Wholey Briggs is dedicated to the pursuit of justice for their clients, and tirelessly work to hold at-fault persons or entities liable. For nearly 30 years of combined experience litigating and negotiating personal injury lawsuits and settlements, our office has helped countless injured clients pay their bills and get the care they need by fighting for the compensation they deserve.What Is Considered a Catastrophic Injury?
Damages for negligence, or compensation for injuries, are intended to help make an injured person "whole," or as they were, prior to an accident. A catastrophic injury is one that is so severe that the injured cannot possibly resume the life led prior to the accident. Catastrophic injuries may be caused by events like big truck accidents, slip-and-fall hazards left at businesses, or on-the-job accidents. Lifelong treatment can involve physical therapy, reliance on prosthetics, and psychological therapy. Examples of catastrophic injuries include:
- Spinal cord injury that results in partial or total paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury with the loss of body functions and memory
- Damage to major internal organs that require extensive care like dialysis or pace makers
- Bone fractures that cause permanent loss of mobility
- Loss of hearing
- Loss of vision
- Nerve damage that affects physical sensitivity or action
- Amputation of limbs or fingers
- Severe burns that cause disfigurement or loss of mobility
Under Maine law, if you can show that your injuries resulted from the careless or reckless conduct of another, you may be eligible to receive compensation from the responsible party or their insurer.Catastrophic Injury Affects Many Aspects of Life
Following a catastrophic injury accident, the victim may never be able maintain the same earning capacity they had before or even return to work. The victim's family members' lives can also dramatically change. The intensive care required and loss of income greatly affects everyone's daily activities. It can be tempting to accept an offered settlement that may pay for some things, but an early settlement amount may ultimately prove to be inadequate in the future. Having an experienced personal injury attorney available to discuss all avenues of legal relief greatly increases your chances of maximizing the compensation your family receives. Available compensation may cover amounts including medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.Helping You Seek Justice
Catastrophic injuries can occur as a result of reckless driving, negligent care of premises, or defective products. The Maine personal injury attorneys at Briggs & Wholey have an extensive knowledge of the law, and are well versed in the loopholes insurance companies and at-fault parties often use to shield themselves from paying the compensation they owe. Alison Wholey Briggs represents clients from across the state, and is happy to meet with you in your home if you are unable to travel to one of our offices. If you have been injured in a catastrophic injury accident, and need to speak to experienced, hard-working counsel, contact our office at (888) 596-1099 or online for a free, confidential consultation.

Musicians » Gerry Hemingway
Gerry Hemingway, Composer/Percussionist, has been at the forefront of creative improvised music for three decades. He was born in 1955 in New Haven, Conn., to a family with musical interests (his grandmother had been a concert pianist and his father studied composition with Paul Hindemith). He became interested in drums around the age of ten and by the age of seventeen was working as a professional musician primarily in the jazz and bebop domain. In the 1970's, New Haven was home for a number of interesting musicians. This was where Gerry met and first played with Anthony Davis, Leo Smith, George Lewis and Anthony Braxton. In the late 1970's, Hemingway, trombonist Ray Anderson, and bassist Mark Helias formed a collective trio which they eventually named BassDrumBone. The trio will celebrate it's 30th anniversary in 2007 starting with the release of The Line Up on the Clean Feed label .Read more

Beauty and space matter.
After spending my summers as a teenager learning drywall from my father, I attended Drexel University to study design. A few years after graduation, I was drywalling part time amongst other odd jobs. The sense of satisfaction and completion was compelling. Soon after, I thrust myself into drywall and painting full time. For a few years, I worked in Philadelphia where my skills were re-honed and sharpened under intense schedules and situations. Two years ago, I returned to Lancaster to work with family and me and my dad have been going full tilt to create and repair the beautiful spaces that my design background ingrained in me.
Please give me a call for a free estimate. With over two decades of experience each, we have the expertise, knowledge and quality control your job needs.

Aliens And The Secret Code
Megalithic monuments linked together by electromagnetic energy... Prehistoric ruins arranged across vast distances in straight lines... And advanced mathematics carved into landmarks more than 5000 years ago. Were ancient man's spectacular structures built by humans alone? Or do they bear evidence of being designed--and interconnected--by otherworldly visitors?

Well if the music wasn't so loud we could have heard the speakers
much clearer, yes!?
It should have been back ground music, but not up that loud, too hard tohear what they were saying.
Are we waiting for their return?
well it could be next year 2012
there's that number again 12
I would say,they are already hear,
Its just that we need convincing,
at least some of us do.
I believe their here too and have always been here. However, I was wondering about the lost city of Atlantis and most probably it could be lying in the oceans of one of these lay lines? If someone could discover the strongest electromagnetic gradient it could be there.

HAU GIANG (VNS)— Random tests of the products sold by all rice noodle and rice vermicelli makers in the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang have shown that more than half the samples contained banned chemicals.

Allure magazine praised the Vichy LiftActiv Serum 10 for both its ingredient innovation and clinical effectiveness.

Based on the book by Ben Fountain, we follow the story of 19-year-old war hero, Billy Lynn (Jow Alwyn). He returns home from battle, having done a courageous and selfless act in an attempt to save a fellow soldier, Shroom (Vin Diesel). We follow a day in his life as he struggles with returning home from the war and adapting to day-to-day life, and how the public disrespectfully perceives his experience in the war. His squadron is preparing to do a half time show at a football match, and as the day goes on, we're shown flashbacks to the war, triggered by his PTSD, which his sister (Kristen Stewart) hopes he can use as a reason to leave the war behind.
When I say this feels like a true story, I'm referring to how authentic and well realised everything is. The characters are all three-dimensional, each one with layers and depth, no matter how minor their role is. They all have a history, and their relations with one another feel as though there's a lot more to them than meets the surface. Creating a highly developed series of characters is no easy accomplishment, but with Billy Lynn, it's well and truly achieved. Every singe person feels real, whether it's Billy himself or squadron leader Dime (Garrett Hedlund) or even Billy's dad (Bruce McKinnon), who appears on screen for literally two minutes.
Ang Lee is a director I admire greatly. Over his career, he has made some incredible movies, most of which are highly ambitious. When it comes to Billy Lynn, he turns this simple war drama (well, sort of simple war drama) into an art house movie, and while I have no problem with art house movies, the artsy nature doesn't work. It's a highly stylized film, and if he used this style in a better-suited movie, it could potentially fit. Some films call for this style. Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is not one of them. It's trying to be way too many things as it is, and adding an art house style into the mix just makes this film a little bit more difficult to sit through.
