Brussels Sprouts with Toasted Spices
Photography: Randy Mayor; Styling: Jan Gautro
Carrots, green beans, and cauliflower will also work. To trim a Brussels sprout, cut a small portion from the stem, and pull off the yellow leaves. Nigella seeds, also called black onion seeds, have a nutty, peppery flavor.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cut a shallow "X" in stem end of each sprout. Cook sprouts in boiling water 7 minutes or until tender; drain.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chiles; cook 1 minute or until browned, shaking the pan frequently. Add seeds; cook, partially covered, 1 minute or until mustard seeds begin to pop, shaking pan frequently. Add onion and turmeric; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add sprouts, salt, and sugar; cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in cilantro, coconut, and juice.

The techie was attacked for allegedly uploading derogatory pictures of warrior king Shivaji and late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Facebook, which led to a protest bandh on Sunday. Police have arrested seven persons in this regard under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 147 (rioting) of Indian Penal Code.
They are said to be linked to right-wing outfit. Sadiq worked in the IT department of a textile firm in the city. He was thrashed with sticks at Bankar Colony by the accused and succumbed to his injuries during treatment at a nearby hospital, police said.
Two other youths too had been attacked and injured in stone throwing at the same spot on the same night, according to police. Police said the case was handed over to Crime Branch and they have appealed to citizens not to believe or spread rumours as the situation is peaceful. Security has been beefed up in the area.

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program issued an estimated $1.1 million in improper payments to recipients who lived outside the United States, according to an audit by the Social Security Administration Inspector General (IG).
The audit found that there were 1,196 recipients who received payments in their bank accounts outside of the United States. The majority of those, 1,171, went to banks in Puerto Rico, while 25 went to foreign banks by way of international direct deposit. Those included banks in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Poland, India, Canada, and Hungary.
The audit found that 246 of those payments worth $1.1 million received outside the United States were improper.
Federal law prohibits disability benefits being paid to individuals outside of the United States.
"With limited exceptions, no individual shall be considered eligible for SSI payments for any month throughout which the individual is outside the United States," the report states. SSI recipients are allowed to receive payments established in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
When a beneficiary receives a payment outside of the United States, the agency's systems generate an alert to notify a field office that the beneficiary person is ineligible. The audit found that the agency's personnel did not respond to these alerts in a timely manner, which allowed improper payments to be made.

If you were wondering about the "stupidity, duplication, waste, and fraud" Senator Coburn mentioned yesterday, here's a great example. It's also another reason a Convention of States is so necessary. By proposing constitutional amendments that impose fiscal restraints on Congress, the people -- acting through their states -- can force the federal government to be more responsible with our money.

The word is that many of the A list celebrities that were invited to witness the "wedding of the century" have decided not to attend. Why? We'll probably because it will be a media circus and everyone will be subject to "whatever happens" and THE WEDDING WILL PROBABLY LAST NOT TO MUCH MORE THAN THE FIRST ONE, THAT LASTED 72 DAYS.
More to come?

After shattering records earlier this year, the number of registered voters in California has reached a new all-time high, with almost 20 million Californians eligible to vote, the Secretary of State's office announced Friday, Nov. 4.
The number as of Oct. 24 – the last day to register to vote in Tuesday's presidential election – is 19,411,771. About 18.2 million were registered in the 2012 presidential election.
"2016 is truly a historic year and California continues to break records," Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a news release. "(About seventy-eight percent) of eligible Californians are registered to vote. This also represents the highest percentage of eligible California citizens registered to vote heading into a general election in 20 years."
The numbers continue to be good news for Democrats and bad news for Republicans. Roughly 45 percent of voters statewide are registered Democrats compared to 26 percent for the GOP.
In recent years, the percentage of Republican voters has fallen in a state that put conservative icon Ronald Reagan on a path to the White House. The number of voters unaffiliated with a political party has gone up.
Riverside County recently announced the number of registered voters there had eclipsed 1 million for the first time ever.

Brownies are the perfect long day, my-brain-is-fried-so-please-don't-talk-to-me treat. You can pretty much make them on autopilot, and whether you spring for a boxed mix or make them from scratch, there's hardly any legwork and the payoff is HUGE.
The best part, though? Brownies are like pancakes: they're begging for mix-ins! They make things that much more interesting, and if you have a truly unforgettable base, even the so-so mix-ins will seem stellar.
Guys, I think I've found my truly unforgettable base; the one I can make from scratch and feel confident will earn rave reviews. It's a slightly modified version of Alice Medrich's famed cocoa brownie recipe (which the internet seems to swear is THE brownie recipe to end all brownie recipes).
Instead of melting down an entire $3.99 bag of semisweet chocolate chips — and all the while wondering whether it's worth making brownies from scratch when the chocolate alone costs more than the boxed version — Medrich's recipe calls for cocoa powder. It gives the brownies a rich, chocolatey flavor, without being too sugary sweet or veering into bitter territory. It's a sweet, sweet harmony.
Medrich's recipe also demands that you heat the sugar, butter, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl over a skillet full of water (so almost double-boiler-style), which sounded like a recipe for scalds and burns to me, so I made a few modifications to make things a bit easier. Instead, I melt the butter in the microwave, then stir it into a bowl full o' cocoa powder, sugar and salt. As you stir, the ingredients will form a dark chocolate-brown paste, and the butter will cool enough that you can easily crack in the eggs without worrying about scrambling them. That's one mix-in nobody wants.
I love baking these with coarse sea salt instead of regular salt, since it doesn't dissolve all the way, giving you the occasional, very slight salty-sweet taste, like a pretzel dunked in Nutella.
Oh, Nutella! That brings us back to the Fudgy Brownie Showdown. In the past, I've made brownies studded with napoleon creme, cookie dough and marshmallow fluff, but I had to test out two other mix-ins: mini peanut butter cups and a Nutella swirl. Half the pan was speckled with the peanut butter cups, the other half got spoonfuls of Nutella heaped on top, which I swirled through the batter before baking. (Psst…a "swirl" top is way easier than you'd think: Just drizzle a few lines of the topping onto the batter, then use a toothpick, butter knife or back of the spoon to gently swirl the topping with the batter itself. There's no need to stir. Just a few swishes and BOOM! It's ready for the oven.)
Warning: Whichever mix-in you choose, the end result is incredibly (delightfully, wonderfully) rich. So much so that I had to cut the serving size in half, making them two-bite brownies. The flavor is that decadent. Keep some milk — or a cup of coffee — handy.
These brownies are as fudgy as they get, so if you're looking for something a little bit cakier, use the base recipe for the Hot Cocoa Brownies. For a texture and flavor that's almost like Ghiradelli-meets-Dove-dark-chocolate, store them in the fridge and enjoy round two cold. I know, I know — that defies all laws of brownies, but it's as tasty as trying them fresh out of the oven. Pinky promise.
And tell us, which topping would you choose: Nutella swirl or peanut butter cups?
- 2½ cups sugar
- 1½ cups plus 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2½ sticks unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups OR ½ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a smaller, microwave-safe bowl, heat butter for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds, or until fully melted. Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl, then use a silicone spatula or spoon to stir everything together. (It'll look like a thick, sugary brown paste at this point; that's totally normal!)
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, stirring each egg in one at a time. The batter will get a little thinner -- and easier to stir -- and will look a little glossier. As soon as the eggs are combined, stir in the flour, but only enough to make it disappear into the batter. When there are no more white streaks (about 40 strokes around the bowl), pour the batter into the 9"x13" pan and top with peanut butter cups or plop spoonfuls of the chocolate-hazelnut spread on top. Gently drag a butter knife along the top of the batter and Nutella, creating a slightly swirled effect. Cook for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the batter comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are okay).
- Let the brownies cool for at least 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Political group FAST has long advocated for programs to decrease imprisonment of drug addicts and focus attention on drug treatment. After their first failure with Drug Courts (see below), you think FAST would have learned. However, news now comes of actual increase in arrests and imprisonment among addicted people directly as a result of "Smart Choices" program they continue to demand to be funded. Those prisoners who completed the "Smart Choices" program had a higher rate of recidivism than those who dropped out. The Sheriff and his Representative Ramona Schaeffer told FAST that the program was not working as planned, so why did FAST continue to push for the program? They did so because they have blind dedication to their own agenda and do not allow any dissent within the organization to allow them to be better informed and make better decisions. Their own model is causing them to fail and their refusal to consider better ways will be their undoing. (continued below…)
in Smart Choices (left)
"Smart Choices" recidivism program was pushed by FAST to reduce re-arrest and reimprisonment among drug offenders and others. However the program actually led to HIGHER re-arrest rates among those who finished the program than those who dropped out. FAST still pushes for this program and refuses to ask its members to directly help prisoners re-integrate into the community.
SMART Choices was a program that had laudable intentions: keep people with drug problems out of prison and get them set to succeed when they reenter the community. (But, as commonly occurs, good intentions are not enough when it comes to good actions. Moral action also requires good circumstances and a good object and must not cause unintended harm along the way.) Smart Choices was a "modified Therapeutic Community" designed to teach life skills and help prisoners learn coping strategies that would help them avoid crime upon release. Sun Beam Times interviewed Ramona Schafer of the Pinellas county Sherriff's office, (Program Services Supervisor) for this story and thanks her for sharing the statistics on the program. There were some graduates that actually did well after the program and avoided being rearrested. These are likely the anecdotal cases highlighted by FAST as it pushed the program (see below). However, those are the people who had good community networks when they left. There were also people outside the SMART Choices program that did just as well. In fact, they did better.
The Sheriff's office revealed that from 2009 to 2010, 483 people were enrolled in Smart Choices with 80% completing the program. Of the 386 that completed the program, 52.8% were rearrested (204) in the first year with 153 rearrested in the second (39.62%). Of the 97 who dropped out of Smart Choices, 46 were rearrested the first year (47.2%) and 35 the second year (36.08%). Thus those who dropped out had a lower rate of re-arrest at one year (47%) than those who graduated Smart Choices (53%). At two years, the rate of re-arrest was also lower for dropouts (36%) than graduates of Smart Choices (40%). In addition, there was no improvement in the percentage of people arrested twice or still in prison in two years between the two groups (both at about 22%). Ms. Schafer attributes at least part of the higher re-arrest rate to the fact that Smart Choices graduates agreed to be drug tested and to be automatically re-arrested for a positive test. Thus the program defeated one of the prime purposes of FAST: to keep drug offenders out of jail and keep them in the community. Further analysis is needed to determine if other causes of re-arrest were more common in Smart Choices graduates.
The Smart Choices program was shut down by Sheriff Jim Coates in 2010 when funding was no longer available and after early indications were that it was not successful. But that did not stop FAST and its more than 3,000 Members from demanding that the program start again at its "Nehemiah Action Assembly". In fact, FAST leaders misinformed their members at the assembly, telling them that the rate of recidivism before the program was 70% (see flier excerpt below)! According to Ramona Schaffer, the rate has never been that high and she does not understand where the number came from. In fact, data from the "Pinellas County Re-entry program" strategic plan for 2010, reveals that the recidivism rate from 2001-2007 was between 33 and 41%. Another ten year study reveals an all time high of 63% in 1998 which had fallen to about 25% (at two years) in 2008. So it is unclear where FAST is getting their data and why they would seek to bear false witness to its members and the public that the program they were advocating had dropped the rate from 70 to 40%. This is especially concerning as it now appears that the recidivism rate actually went up to 53% as a direct result of participating in the program compared to dropping out of the program!
FAST used this flier to encourage its members to demand the Smart Choices Program be re-funded by the Sheriff after the Sheriff made it clear to them the program was a failure. The flier falsely claims that recidivism dropped from 70 to 40% with the program. The 9th commandment directs men to "not bear false witness".
This failure is similar to the Drug Courts program FAST pushed as a solution. Drug Courts also failed and actually caused increased imprisonment of people on minor drug offenses that were previously avoidable and enrollment was about 350, not 4000 as planned. Participation in the program also meant that offenders had to give up their rights to due process if they were accused of later transgressions. The failures of the programs is why the Drug Policy Alliance and the Justice Policy Institute work against the Drug Courts. These programs also failed after FAST invested huge amounts of effort in advocacy for the program, backing a bill by Democratic Representative Daryl Rouson to expand the program. They proudly took credit for making many phone calls and sending emails and letters to Tallahassee to pass the bill. All while attempting to claim they were not a "political organization".
FAST has a long history of refusing to allow any dissent. When this reporter sought to serve on their "Jobs Committee", he was denied access to attend a meeting after initially being invited. FAST needs committees, members and leaders that are more interested in real solutions than demagoguery. If they were to allow people with different ideas and an objective approach to the facts, they would likely be more successful.
FAST also has a long history of refusing to do anything short of pursuing strong arm political tactics to push its failed political agenda. Ramona Schaefer reports that she asked FAST members to volunteer to help reintegrate prisoners into the community. The FAST Committee incredulously refused to ask their members to do any sort of volunteer work. Their response was "that's the government's job". It seems they are forgetting God's true call for Social Justice which is to serve the common good through Charity and not through legislation. This is the danger with a group like FAST: they give the false sense to their members they are doing something good, while actually producing bad outcomes that cause injustice. Their leaders hide behind the church and violate true moral action based in charity, good circumstances and a good objective, while claiming they are nothing but the pious working for good. This is another FAST episode that does a disservice to the good people of the Church and society as a whole who are being duped into believing their actions promote justice when they are actually missing golden opportunities to use their numbers to do some real good.
Note: FAST has been contacted at the South County Office (727-823-9197)to comment on this story. If they choose to respond, their response will be published as submitted.

Thanks to stellar results in China, the world's biggest auto market and the second largest when it comes to luxury cars, the Volkswagen Group managed last year to pass General Motors and become the second car producer in the world, behind Japan's Toyota.
With each passing quarterly financial result, VW's sales grow, but at the same time, the executive in charge of sales warns the worldwide situation remains tense in certain areas – for VW the most problematic being the Americas.
"VW's size is turning into a curse," said Stefan Bratzel, head of the Center of Automotive Management think-tank near Cologne. "Costs are beginning to get out of hand, inefficiencies keep growing and troubles are looming into focus around the world."
And as the management mulls cost cuts and maybe even personnel reductions at the core VW brand, the relations between the "command" structure and workers have reached a decade low. Many insiders say they could be even worse than what they were the last time the company took out around 20,000 jobs in Germany.
The operating profit at the VW brand has also been hit by an internal factor – the new and ambitious MQB modular platform has been a drag, increasing the automaker's spending on technology.

Owned by me since Feb 2002, the realisation of a dream, garaged, loved and pristine.
Later OEM 7-spoke alloys, clear repeaters.
Maybe one day I'll be able to drive a NSX
One of the best super sports cars ever built !!!
nice to see another proud NSX owner. looks a nice clean example
Awesome cars indeed! Being a Honda tuner since 1999, I consider tuning an NSX a major milestone This was not easy as just three of them can be found in my country. Fortunately one of them fell into my hands; 108seconds of pure NSX (supercharged) joy!
I love how the NSX still looks perfectly at home sitting next to other sports cars such as the lambo and ferraris.
A car which still looks great 20 years down the line.
Hard to believe that my NSX is 24yrs old!
I forgot how old they are now you mention it! They look absolutely timeless and as nighthawk said they sit right at home next to Italian exotica.
A few more pics added
Nice to see another NSX on here.
Very nice indeed
Such a sweet motor, please tell me it's manual!!
It is indeed a manual. I sat in one when they first came out at the motorshow in Earls Court. So when I finally could buy one, it had to be a pristine red/black manual coupe with non PAS.
Fantastic, just fantastic.

The unltimate transom window has an arch. They are beautiful but very pricey.
If you don't have transom windows, rather than remodel (which has VERY expensive labor costs due to existing framing and supports) a less expensive option is to trick the eye. You can create the illusion of taller windows by adding window valances (see before and after).
Valances create the illusion of having transom windows & make windows feel taller.
Whether or not you should add transom windows depends on the following:
1) your budget, they can add a great deal of expense
2) will it distort the exterior view? For example, you could perhaps add a transom in the center, as long as the exterior view would still be symetrical
3) when a covered porch limits how much light is coming in.
4) If it's even possible, example, we often cannot add them due to the support (wood framing) above the window. In that case, you may be able to add windows on each SIDE of your french door instead.
The Eclipse transom window below is far more expensive than a straight transom.
It creates a more traditional look.
This transom window is the focal point of the room
Whether you can add transom windows will depend on your current support beam needs. Often it depends if there is a 2nd floor above the space. The arched shape is a more traditional look, a straight transom often looks more contemporary.

On June 17, 2010, after taking notes at the opening ceremony of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) convention in Milwaukee, I went to dinner with some friends I'd made at past HLAA conventions. We had a pleasant and delicious meal at Coast, a restaurant on the shores of Lake Michigan.
At about 11:20 p.m., we left the restaurant. Outside were three cabs which had arrived to take those in our party back to their various hotels. As I tried to enter the first cab with some of my friends, the driver jumped out and vehemently said he would not take a dog in the cab. I tried to explain that Galaxy was a hearing dog, and told the driver that it was against the law to refuse us. I said that if he did not take us to our hotel I would have to write down his cab number and report him. Two friends, Pam Ransom and Marcia Finisdore, attempted to support me, to no avail. Still carrying my steno pad with notes from the opening ceremony, I flipped to the first blank page, grabbed a pen from my purse, and wrote the cab number.
Moving to the next cab in line, I opened the door and tried to enter. I was met with a second refusal, and despite a stern explanation by Pam Ransom about the law this driver also drove off without us. His cab number joined the first one in my steno book.
Thankfully the third cab driver, who had witnessed all this, agreed to transport us. He was from the same company as the other two, Yellow Cab.
The experience really upset me. Back in 1991 I routinely encountered discrimination like this, but as the 20th anniversary of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act approached, I thought my days of having to advocate and educate about my hearing dog, if not completely finished, would never again be met with such animosity.
Searching for a Remedy
The next morning, before going to the convention, I walked to a nearby building that housed a police station. I wanted to see if I could get a referral to whatever entity handled disability-related complaints for the city. My goal was to see that Yellow Cab be required to train its drivers about nondiscrimination of individuals with service animals so that no other individual with a service animal would experience what I had.
In the building that housed the police station, I met and received support from Officers Angst and Halm. My request was pretty far off the beaten track for them, but they were enthusiastic about trying to help. I smiled when one of the suggestions they passed on was to call the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, DC. I explained that my intention was not to punish but to educate, as every single person I had met in Milwaukee had been nothing short of wonderful, and I didn't want to bring potentially bad publicity to the city just because of the hurtful actions of two cab drivers.
Officers Angst and Halm introduced me to Julie Braun and Tom Arden of the Attorney General's office, who also set about trying to help. While I waited for them to make phone calls, Galaxy enjoyed showing off some of her skills, and I enjoyed talking about the work she does for me. I also talked about Canine Companions for Independence, the wonderful program that trained us to work together.
Unfortunately that particular day was a furlough day so most of the city offices were closed and we could not find the right place for disability-related complaints. Eventually a call was made to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's office, where one of his staff conveyed how very upset the Mayor was to hear that the incident with the cab drivers happened in his city. Although I never did find the appropriate place to lodge a complaint and make my request for training of the cab company, I felt very supported by all the wonderful people who wanted very much to assist me.
Follow-up at Home
On June 21, my first day back in the NVRC office after HLAA's Milwaukee convention, I received an email from Officer Walter Tyshynsky of the Milwaukee Police Department. He said he was sorry to hear that I had an unpleasant experience with the city's taxicab service and would like to speak with me about the situation.
I replied with the details he requested such as the time when the first cab driver refused to take me and the numbers of the cabs that the drivers were using. After reading my account, Officer Tyshynsky said he would like to cite the two cab drivers who "failed to provide service."
He said that what the cabbies had done was completely against city ordinance and that there was a $374 citation for refusing to convey an orderly passenger. He asked whether there were any local residents who were witnesses and could possibly be used as complainants. Unfortunately I did not know of any local witnesses. We'd spent a lengthy time enjoying the food and camaraderie at the restaurant and the streets around Coast were deserted except for our party when we exited the restaurant.
I did, however, tell Officer Tyshynsky that Pamela Ransom, who tried to intercede on my behalf and does not have hearing loss, would probably be the best witness from our group. He later followed up and asked her a number of questions.
Mayor Barrett Touches Base
Within a week I'd also heard from Shannon Hayes, staff assistant to Mayor Barrett, touching base on the cab issue and encouraging me to call the Mayor's office if I had questions or concerns. I let her know that Officer Tyshynsky had been diligently gathering information from me. I asked that she tell Mayor Barrett that his very supportive response, and that of others from whom I sought help, had convinced me that Milwaukee is one of the friendliest and most welcoming cities I have ever visited.
In early August, I heard again from Officer Tyshynsky. He requested some personal information from me because it was required to make charges against the cabbies. I provided the information but said that more than a monetary fine I would appreciate a requirement that Yellow Cab educate its drivers on nondiscrimination of passengers with service dogs. In response he told me that the cabbies knew their responsibilities but had denied being told that Galaxy was a service dog, or that anyone had any kind of disability.
A Surprise in the Mail
Some weeks later, on September 27, I received three subpoenas from the City of Milwaukee. They required me to appear in Milwaukee Municipal Court on October 25, 2010 to give evidence in action against the two cab drivers.
I was completely taken aback. It had never been my intention to go to court, and the language of the subpoena was frightening – with "you are hereby commanded to appear in person before the judge" and "failure to appear may result in punishment for contempt, which may include monetary penalties, imprisonment, and other sanctions" – which made me feel like I was being a victim twice.
Everyone with whom I consulted about my options told me that if I did not show up in court it was most likely that the charges against the cab drivers would be dismissed.
I wrestled with what I should do. I didn't like my options. I had invested a lot of time and effort in pursuing action, with the hope it would have a lasting impact through education that would end discriminatory practices. I wanted to see it through. Yet appearing in court would take away two days for travel and the trial, days I really needed to catch up on work at NVRC, and the round trip cost would not be cheap. An additional worry was the possibility that if I flew to Milwaukee and the trial was postponed, I'd have gained nothing and would face the expense of returning again.
I talked about this with my NVRC family and other colleagues. I got a lot of support from a group of hearing dog partners who, along with their dogs, had also graduated from Canine Companions for Independence. Some of them, bless their hearts, asked if they could send me money to help pay for the trip.
Time for a Decision
Those of you who know me well have probably guessed that because I am passionate about justice and have never been a quitter, I just had to go to court in Milwaukee.
The desire to have something come of my effort and that of all the people who tried to help, coupled with the knowledge that without the cab drivers would never have to learn and understand how hurtful they had been, was strong. I wanted them to have a clear message that their behavior would never be acceptable.
I set about trying to find a good deal on plane tickets and a hotel. Once those were set, I was tense whenever I found an email from Officer Tyshynsky, fearing news that the case had been postponed. The days leading up to my flight were long and challenging, as October was a very busy one at NVRC and I had been juggling a lot of advocacy activities on top of my usual packed schedule.
Preparing for the Trip
On Friday, October 22 and Saturday, October 23, I took a grueling trip with my husband Fred to New York for a memorial service honoring his parents, followed by a luncheon with family and friends. Those two days consisted of very little sleep and lots of driving. I thought that after years of enduring excruciating delays on our infamous Beltway I had been through the worst of traffic nightmares, but nothing beat the horrendous hours we spent on the New Jersey turnpike. Traffic ranged from dead stop to barely moving as ten lanes tried to merge into two. We'd hoped to be home by 7 p.m. on Saturday at the latest, but we pulled into our driveway after midnight, totally wrung out even before we started hauling in things into the house.
I got up very early Sunday, October 24 so I could pack for myself and Galaxy, get my papers and tickets together, and take a quick look at the mail that came in during our absence. The first thing I did was to put Galaxy outside to do her business. When she returned to the house and I got my first look at her in the bright lights of our kitchen, my heart sank like a boulder. She was carrying both her ears lower than normal, which I have come to recognize as a telltale sign of an ear infection. The stress of the trip to New York, both emotionally and physically, had affected her immune system.
The last thing any responsible partner wants to do when their hearing dog has an ear infection is fly off in a plane where there is bound to be more stress. Even though Galaxy looks forward to flights because of our ritual of sharing a banana after she carries it to the gate, the changes in air pressure are definitely not good for ears already under assault, and yet another change in her daily routine from being in a new location and different time zone was bound to add more stress.
A Depressing First
The timing could not have been worse. It had been more than 19 years since I traveled without a hearing dog. And how ironic that the one of the times I most wanted her to be with me Galaxy would have to be left behind! I had been confident that when I walked into the courtroom with my sweet, beautifully behaved golden girl it would make an impact. People would know that the cab drivers hadn't been threatened by an unruly dog.
I had to fight back tears when I woke Fred and told him the news that I could not take her with me. Then, because Galaxy is so quick to sense and react to my emotions, I reined them in tightly and finished packing. I wanted to head out as if it was nothing out of the ordinary and she was in for some fun while I was gone. Fred dropped me off at National Airport and then headed with Galaxy to an after-hours veterinary clinic to have a look at her ears.
Nothing was going right about this trip. I checked my bag, made it through security, and found a seat at the terminal. To take my mind off my sadness, I decided to do some work while waiting for the flight.
Unexpected Friends
Just as I was setting up my laptop I saw someone on the other side of the terminal looking at me. I thought she looked very familiar but wondered if my brain was playing tricks. Then we made eye contact. She smiled and waved. Oh yes, of course! It was Eloise Schwarz, who had been one of the participants in the Wisconsin advocacy training that Claude Stout and I taught two years ago.
Eloise was just returning after a weekend training at Hearing Loss Association of America's office in Bethesda, MD. She was full of ideas and resolve to make a difference. We talked for a while and I learned about some of her advocacy and education projects.
Also in the terminal were two other women who had traveled to the training that Eloise attended. They were equally wonderful and I enjoyed talking with them as well. One was Brenda Neubeck, who works for DeafCAN! in Sylvan Lake, Minnesota. The second was Marisa Sarto, a student at University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Exploring Milwaukee
The flight on Frontier, complete with its famous warm chocolate chip cookie, was uneventful but I felt totally lost without Galaxy. When the plane landed in Milwaukee, I followed Eloise long enough to meet her husband before heading to pick up my bag and find a ride to my hotel. I had chosen to stay at the Hilton, which had been the convention hotel for Hearing Loss Association of America. Their service had been outstanding, they were close by the courthouse, and also, cruel irony, I favored them in large part because they have a lovely outdoor courtyard that is perfect for exercising and relief of a working dog.
Since not so nice weather had been predicted for the following morning, I decided to immediately head out to find the courthouse so I could gauge how long the walk would be. I have a terrible sense of direction so I wanted to leave nothing to chance. My cases were on the docket for 8:30 am and I planned to arrive as early as possible to ensure I would find my courtroom.
I headed out from the Hilton and eventually found the courthouse, but something about it felt wrong. Clearly it was a courthouse and a large one at that, but the address did not match the one that was on my subpoenas. I wandered, and then wandered some more. After about 90 minutes I was cold, tired, battered by the wind and frustrated so I started asking people on the street if there was another courthouse. Most apologized that they didn't know and pointed me to city signs, which gave me no more clues.
Finally I stood at the intersection of one street, my gut telling me something was missing, and mentally walked the streets again. I was out there so long, and with such a look of concentration, that a nearby shop owner came out and asked if she could help. When I told her that I found a courthouse but it didn't match the street address on my papers, she said that the city streets are just funky that way and that there was no other courthouse.
Settling in for the Evening
Relieved, I called it quits and headed back to the hotel, where I finally took the time to check my BlackBerry for messages. I found photos Fred had taken of himself with Galaxy resting nearby, dosed with ear drops after her trip to the clinic. He also had an update on the Redskins game, now in its third quarter. That reminded me of the sports bar at the Hilton – 100{31ab897a4370feb218155abc15d7b38f5bba01528a749bd66fe114ec092a63fc} smoke free, another reason why I love Milwaukee. The bar gets big bonus points as well for the flat screen televisions showing different games, with a volume below the blaring din of your average sports bar. It appeared that each game had at least one screen showing captions.
I immediately decided it was a good time to have my lunch/dinner. At my request, the kitchen whipped up a special salad for me. I chomped on it while trying cheer discreetly for my team, this being enemy territory until the game's end. Occasionally Fred and I would text each other with our opinions about a play, and when the Redskins won we did a high five by BlackBerry.
The Night Before
I spent the evening before the court hearing in my hotel room, on a date with my laptop to reduce the email that had piled up since my trip to New York. Ending the day was discombobulating without my usual routine; no uplifting play time with Galaxy, no last walk outside for fresh air to and from a pet relief area, no final cuddle before brushing her teeth and hitting the sack. I also felt drained from sleep deprivation and stress.
That night I didn't have much that resembled sleep. As the hours ticked by, my discomfort morphed into a raging cold with a monster headache, constant postnasal drip, and total absence of energy. But what made the night most difficult was that I feared I would not wake in time to make my court appearance. Without Galaxy I felt very vulnerable. I would not have any alerts to the clock alarm or a door knock. As a result, I repeatedly dozed off for 15-20 minutes at a time, always awaking with a jolt to look at my watch, in panic that I had overslept. Finally at 6 a.m. on Monday morning I gave up and dragged myself to the shower.
Morning Preparations
Revived a bit, I dressed and gave notice to my body's adrenaline supply that it needed to rise to the occasion. I reviewed my email conversations with Officer Tyshynsky to refresh my memory, and then headed to the Starbucks in the lobby for some oatmeal. I ate in my room while watching local weather reports and reading the newest arrivals on my BlackBerry.
At 7:15 a.m. I was ready to wrap up and head for the courthouse so I could be there when it opened at 8 a.m. I stopped to pull back the drapes on my window for a check on the current weather, and was astonished by how dark it was. That's when it dawned on me that I had been looking only at the time on my watch, which I hadn't adjusted for the time zone difference in Milwaukee! I killed another hour by slowly drinking a second cup of tea, deleting more from my BlackBerry, and doing a mental critique of the captioning on Milwaukee news programs.
I had a crisp morning for my walk to the courthouse. Once inside, I asked at the information desk for directions to the Branch 3 courtroom and showed the officer one of my subpoenas because his face expressed that he was a bit perplexed. He perused a grid on his clipboard and told me to go through security and then take an elevator to a courtroom on the sixth floor. I found that particular courtroom locked, so I sat outside the room on one of the benches that looked like church pews to wait.
Waiting for Court
Traffic for the other courtrooms on that floor picked up as the minutes ticked by, but I was the only one waiting at mine. It was a bit unnerving because I have never been to court and everything I know about it is from Perry Mason, LA Law, Judge Judy, Boston Legal or another TV show. What I hadn't expected was the constant stream of prisoners in handcuffs and chains walking by with guards or police escorts, some of them in groups chained together and many of them wearing day glo orange garb.
After 20 minutes I was still alone on the bench and growing more and more concerned that I was in the wrong place. I walked down to talk to one of the people waiting at a nearby courtroom and was told not to worry. Fifteen minutes later, with alarm bells getting louder in my head, I stopped an officer going by and he said the same thing. At 8:20, ten minutes before my case was to be heard, an officer finally walked to the courtroom, unlocked the door and went inside. I was giddy with relief but still anxious, so after counting a good minute on my watch, I opened the door, walked in, and showed him my papers.
"You're in the wrong courthouse," he said. I told him that every single person I'd talked to assured me this was the right place. He calmly but firmly told me that I would need to go to another courthouse.
A Moment of Panic
His words unleashed a flood of thoughts inside my head. I'd come all this way, made all this effort to be on time, and got confirmation from so many people that this was the right courthouse. Now I was not even going to make it to court in time!
I fought those thoughts, focused hard on his face, and asked the officer where the other courthouse was. He told me it was nearby, just a block away. I took a deep breath, thanked him, and raced to the elevator, where I died a thousand deaths as it worked its way down six floors with stops at every one. Nearing the ground floor it suddenly hit me that the officer had told me the courthouse was a block away, but he hadn't told me in which direction the block was.
It's There, But Try to Find It
Nobody in the elevator knew where that other courthouse was, so I went outside the building and started running to find it. After fruitlessly checking blocks on two sides without success, I was already passing the time for my case to begin. Accepting defeat was just too painful, so I rearranged my priorities and decided to make an appearance anyway. At least that way someone would know I cared passionately about being denied a cab ride due to discrimination, and had tried my best to be there.
That decision made, I asked a man passing on the sidewalk whether he knew about a second courthouse. He smiled and said that indeed there was one; that people made the mistake I had all the time, and many residents never even know it's there. He invited me to follow him, as he was going in that direction.
I will never forget this man's kindness; during our brief walk he told me that the courthouse I was heading to was a nicer one to be in and gave me a glimmer of hope that they might be accommodating of my tardiness.
As we approached his destination, he stopped and coached me to go to the end of the block, turn right, and then look for the building. The reason people can't find it or don't know it's there, he warned me, is that it doesn't look like a courthouse. "What is confusing is that the front of the building where the entrance is located is white, so look for that, he said. "Most people only go there if they are paying a traffic ticket in person instead of sending the money or coming for traffic court."
Even with his directions, I wasn't at all confident I had found the correct building until I got closer and walked inside. I somehow managed to head in the right direction, and Officer Tyshynsky found me as I was preparing to head through security. I told Officer Tyshynsky why Galaxy wasn't with me as he led me to the courtroom.
In the Courtroom at Last
What a pleasure it was to meet the man with whom I had been corresponding. Officer Tyshynsky's news was ever better. Despite arriving at least 15 minutes past my required time, I wasn't too late! The judge was not yet seated and the court wasn't in session. A great weight lifted from me.
I hadn't been sure I would recognize the two cab drivers if I saw them again, but after entering the courtroom and taking a seat I immediately found them. They were sitting together and I recognized which one had been the driver of the first cab and which the second.
Communication Access in the Courtroom
I'd requested a sign language interpreter for the hearing, although I mentioned CART was my best choice. Officer Tyshynsky had confirmed before my trip that I would have a "translator" so I wasn't entirely sure what I would be getting. I had come prepared to ask people to repeat or write things down if I did not understand them.
I was overjoyed to learn that I would have not just a very skilled court interpreter with legal certification but also a certified deaf interpreter. When my request for an interpreter had been passed on, it was unclear what my communication needs would be, so both were sent. I was hugely impressed.
The city attorney asked me and the interpreters to follow her to another area, where she briefed me on the hearing process and asked me some questions about what had happened with the cab drivers that June evening. Then we all returned to the courtroom.
The Court Session Begins
Within a few minutes, Judge Philip M. Chavez walked in and court was in session. He first heard two cases involving drunken driving. I was impressed with both the efficiency in how the cases were heard and with the judge's personal comments to each defendant during the sentencing.
One of my cases was next. The interpreter was sworn in, and then those of us giving testimony were sworn in.
I was the first person called to testify and was told to enter the witness box. The attorney asked me a series of questions such as the location of the cab incidents and a description of my interaction with the cab drivers. At one point I was asked if the first cab driver was in the courtroom, to which I responded yes, and then I was asked to identify the first cab driver and describe what he was wearing. Later, I was asked the same questions about the second cabbie.
I tried to be terse in my answers and stick to the facts, but at least twice the questions touched my emotions and I briefly veered off. The first time was when I was taken off guard by a request to describe Galaxy. I said that I was so sorry she was unable to be with me and talked about her sweet and kind nature before describing her physically. The second was when relating the facts about the cab drivers' refusal. I mentioned how bad I felt for the friends who were planning to ride with me or in the other cabs. Though I didn't elaborate beyond that, I still carry the strong memory how they stood up for me. I love them for it, yet I am sorry it marred the evening for them and that it delayed the return to their hotels.
Office Tyshynsky Takes the Stand
Officer Tyshynsky testified next. He chronicled what he had done since getting the case, detailing his follow up with me, Pam Ransom and the cab drivers. Using the cab numbers provided by me and Pam, he had obtained the names of the drivers from Yellow Cab. He discovered that they lived at the same address.
On visits to their house, he talked separately with each of the drivers. They both told him they didn't pick me up that night. One said it was because he had a dog phobia and the other said it was because he was allergic to dogs. Officer Tyshynsky asked to see their trip records and they said they had no trip records showing a trip that night to Coastal restaurant.
The Cab Drivers' Turn
As the first and then the second cab driver took the stand, I became more and more concerned. They were like twins in giving many of the same answers to questions, and some of their testimony put in dispute mine and Officer Tyshynsky's.
Officer Tyshynsky was brought back to the stand for further questions,. He elaborated on how he had conducted his investigation and what evidence he had gathered. This included more information about statements the cab drivers had made in answer to his questions.
Judge Perez asked some questions in regard to the trip records. The cabbies had no trip record showing they had gone to Coastal, yet Yellow Cab's records showed that there had been a call requesting a ride and both cabs had responded to it. The judge questioned Office Tyshynsky about the requirement for cab drivers to keep trip records. Officer Tyshynsky explained the purpose of these records and gave examples of how they had helped him in this and other investigations. He was also asked about how the records are generated. He explained that Yellow Cab's recording of calls for rides is done by computer, and said that the cabbies keep their own trip records.
More Questions for the Cabbies
There might have been a somewhat different outcome with the cases if things had ended there, but both cab drivers were individually called back to the stand for further questioning. The two cabbies' testimonies began to take some twists and turns, and if I hadn't trusted my interpreter I would have thought from watching her signs that she had gone completely off her rocker.
One cabbie said he had his trip record with him. He pulled a paper with the record from inside his coat; the judge asked to see it and it was placed in evidence. Both cabbies admitted they had been to Coast. And then a Mr. Johnson entered their stories for the first time.
One cab driver said he didn't pick me up because he had been called there to pick up "Mr. Johnson," and I was not Mr. Johnson. Then the other cab driver testified the same thing. There was also a claim by one cabbie that he didn't see me and another claim that I never got near his cab. One cabbie expressed indignation that Yellow Cab never told him he was going to be picking up a disabled person, and later another comment was made about how I never told him I was disabled.
Judge Perez Makes His Decision
Judge Perez didn't waste any time making his decision on the cases. He called both cabbies to the front of the courtroom, and as they stood watching him, he gave a recap of the testimony that continued for several minutes. He told the cab drivers that they had not been credible, while calling my testimony and Officer Tyshynsky's very credible. Judge Perez also made a comment about how I had gone to a lot of trouble and traveled a great distance to be at the trial and noted that the Yellow Cab records are not easy to falsify, unlike the trip records from one cabbie that were put in evidence.
Looking sternly at the cabbies, Judge Perez told them that they had done a very despicable thing to me that was a black eye on the city and that they had embarrassed me in front of my friends. He pointed out that I had spoken my testimony and that he could understand me clearly; saying that they should have talked with me that evening at Coasl but did not even try.
Then he talked about the Americans with Disabilities Act's importance and what it means to so many people with disabilities and why. As Judge Perez moved to raise his gavel to close the cases, the city attorney requested an additional $500 fine for both cabbies, which the judge granted immediately.
Suddenly it was over and I felt a great weight lift from me.
The Costs
Each of the cab drivers was fined $374 for failure to convey me, and an additional $204 for not having the required trip records. Then there was that bit tacked on at the end.
There was a cost for me too. I was given two slips of paper for "witness fees," for which I'm told I'll eventually be sent about $6 per case. As Officer Tyshynsky said it's "enough for a couple cups of coffee."
But the round trip flight and fees, along with transportation to and from the airport and the cost of the hotel room was just shy of $600. I also gave up two days of my life.
In return I have something priceless.
The Court Experience
At the end of the trial I joined the city attorney and Officer Tyshynsky at the front of the courtroom. I suddenly saw both of them look to the rear of the courtroom and followed their gaze. A man was standing there, looking very alarmed and saying something I could not make out. After exiting the courtroom I learned from Officer Tyshynsky that the man at the back of the courtroom had the next case before the court, and this man was also a cab driver with a violation. He had become so unnerved by the judgment in my cases that he wanted to change his plea to "no contest'.
Office Tyshynsky and I have exchanged some emails since I returned home, and he said that he expects the case to resonate within the taxicab community. Somehow I feel certain that if it doesn't he'll be happy to remedy that.
I have nothing but praise for my first court experience. Officer Tyshynsky did an awesome job with his investigation, his testimony, and helping to put me at ease in a situation I've never before had to navigate. The city attorney demonstrated great efficiency and professionalism. Judge Perez was an inspiring role model, with his keen understanding and his ability to deliver hard judgments with compassion and encouragement for those at fault to become better human beings.
The two interpreters had fantastic skills, informing me of everything that transpired and giving me confidence that they would be my voice if my own couldn't be understood. Just as valuable to me was how they made me feel less alone in the courtroom; I would have been much more anxious without them.
I returned from the court to retrieve my bag in my hotel room, then parked it and worked on my laptop in the Starbucks. There I sipped herbal tea until the Airport Connection van picked me up. I was glad I'd arranged that transportation in advance, because the block in front of the hotel had as many as five Yellow Cab drivers parked and waiting out front every time I checked. I didn't feel quite comfortable using one that day.
The Return
I had a lovely return to National Airport at the tail end of rush hour. Darkness had fallen and the flight path took us along the maze of interstates and highways; the red and white brake lights and headlights of vehicles packed bumper to bumper looked like a giant holiday display. It felt like I was getting a special, festive return. And I was. Fred had dressed Galaxy in her vest and put on her orange leash. He didn't tell me he was bringing her to meet me. As I was walking, he waved to catch my attention. I was startled, and then I saw her. I crouched low, held out my hands and called her name. Fred let go of her leash, and as she came rushing to me .I was so happy that I burst into tears. For two days Galaxy was somewhat tentative as if afraid we were no longer partners, but now we are again two very different bodies that are one being.

It's been a long time since my best friend from college and my daughter's godmother and I were able to spend some quality time together. Our last "meet up" was in Indiana where we gathered together to enjoy her wedding. But a wedding is a busy time and we weren't able to spend much time together. That's what I was thrilled with the opportunity to visit the Northern New Jersey area and spend a whole weekend catching up on live and love with her, and of course shopping!
Disclosure: I was provided with signature items from The Mall at Short Hills as part of the New Creative Media travel campaign. All opinions expressed are my own as were all other expenses.
Susan and I took the scenic route all around The Mall at Short Hills parking lot. We knew we had to go to the Cheesecake Factory and a stop at the service desk was in order so we could learn all about the stores this mall has to offer. We parked near Macy's since we both agreed that was definitely a stop we wanted to make. (She got pants for $8.00 for work and I got a maxi dress for $15 but more on that later!)
Walking in we are greeted by the most beautiful waterfall! This mall was so gorgeous! Beautiful, clean and luxurious even. The couches and chairs just called out to be sat on, but there was shopping till we are dropping to be done before we can enjoy those! Heading to the service counter we received our Mall at Short Hills shopping bags (be sure to stop by and get one of your own) and found that they were kind enough to provide me with a sneak peek at some of what the stores in the mall have to offer. I also found out that The Mall at Short Hills is a registered ticket master outlet and offers complimentary strollers – not just for your human kids but the pet kind too!
Money Saving Tip: While at the service desk we received not just map but a list of stores and what you can get for free or discounted at each of the stores listed. For example stopping into Lush and you received some free samples and a complimentary face or hand consultation.
The map and the list were quite possibly one of the most important things we needed for the mall. And let me just say this mall was GORGEOUS! Beautiful natural lighting, escalators to the second floor and fine dining throughout. Some of my favorite stops included Macy's, Lush, Brookstone, Foot Locker, Gap/Kids (no they weren't with me but I have to bring SOMETHING back!), Coach, Michael Kors, and of course a stop at the Apple store (gadget girls unite) as Susan and I discuss the merit of her iPhone over my Verizon Samsung.
The shopping is done and it's time to relax and enjoy a little bit of down time. Up next, Cheesecake Factory!

text: I'd been eyeing this bag in chocolate for awhile, but couldn't really justify spending the $$ for it... especially not after I got a quilted Venetia for Christmas last year! (I know it was a present, but I also know how much it probably cost my husband, so don't want to be too spendy...) But yesterday, my sister told me a friend of hers whose sister works at Donna Karan (DK is owned by LVMH who also owns MJ) bought a chocolate Lou during the MJ sale last fall and decided it wasn't for her and was thinking of selling it. So I mentioned I might be interested, and she was willing to sell it to me for what she paid for it!! I can't believe I got such a great deal on this bag! Should have it by the end of the week when I meet her! Yay!!

Charlie Ergen once again is the highest-ranking Coloradan on Forbes magazine's latest list of the world's billionaires.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Tuscany emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Galos family. During the Middle Ages, as populations grew and travel between regions became more frequent, the people of Tuscany found it necessary to adopt a second name to identify themselves and their families. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they were characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Although the most common type of family name found in Tuscany is the patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, the nickname type of surname is also frequently found. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The surname Galos is a name for a person with some of the attributes associated with a bird, such as a fine voice or sexual prowess. The name, which was also very popular in Spain during the Middle Ages, is derived from the Latin word Gallus which means rooster.
Galos Early Origins
Galos Spelling Variations
Galos Spelling Variations
Surnames that originated in Italy are characterized by an enormous number of spelling variations. Some of these are derived from regional traditions and dialects. Northern names, for instance, often end in "o", while southern names tend to end in "i". Other variations come from the fact the medieval scribes tended to spell according to the sound of words, rather than any particular set of rules. The recorded variations of Galos include Galli, Gallo, Gall, Gallis, Gallelli, Gallello, Galletti, Galigai, Gallico, Galelei, Galladei, Galeota, Galizzi, Gallego, Gallini, Gallino, Gallucci, Galluccio, Galluzzi, Gallus, Galliussi, Gallozzi, Gallotti, Galloni, Gallone, Gallarini and many more.

America's Cup has its day in New York court
The America's Cup was back in court yesterday, the New York State Supreme Court, to decide details of the 33rd series, which should be held off Valencia in 2009.
The legality of a Spanish yacht club that was formed to become the Challenger of Record, and thus have total power for all the challengers, was contested by Larry Ellison's club, the Golden Gate Yacht Club (GGYC) of San Francisco.
GGYC lawyers maintain that the Clube Náutique Español de Vela (CNEV), formed only days before the last cup races ended, does not meet the requirements of the Deed of Gift, the trust document that sets the basic rules of the competition. GGYC insist that for CNEV to be a legitimate challenger, it must, under the deed, have held an annual regatta, which it has not. GGYC was the next club to challenge, and would take precedence if its case is upheld.
The presiding judge, Herman Cahn noted that allowing CNEV to be Challenger of Record was little more than "selling the Cup to a convenience entity". A decision is expected later this week.

Do you support assisted suicide for terminally ill people in the UK?
Sir Terry Pratchett has said witnessing a man being helped to die for a controversial BBC film has not affected his support for assisted suicide.
In Choosing to Die, the 63-year-old author - who has Alzheimer's disease - went to Switzerland to see a British man with motor neurone disease dying.
Liz Carr, a disability campaigner, said it was pro-suicide propaganda and that she was surprised the BBC had made it.
The BBC said Monday's film would help viewers make up "their own minds".
The programme, showed Peter Smedley, a 71-year-old hotelier, travelling from his home in Guernsey to Switzerland and taking a lethal dose of barbiturates given to him by the Dignitas organisation.
Sir Terry, who made the film to establish whether he would be able to die at a time and in a way he wanted, said seeing what Dignitas did had not changed his mind.
"I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help, rather than suffer," he told BBC's Newsnight.
Asked about the sanctity of life, Sir Terry responded: "What about the dignity of life?" Lack of dignity would be enough for some people to kill themselves, he said.
He added that he believed the right to an assisted suicide should extend to anyone over the age of consent.
He also accused the government of "turning its back" on the issue of assisted suicide.
"I was ashamed that British people had to drag themselves to Switzerland at some considerable cost," he said.
The BBC denied the screening could lead to copycat suicides and said it would enable viewers to make up their own minds on the subject.
The documentary maker Charlie Russell said the decision to film Mr Smedley dying had been given a lot of thought.
"As a film maker I felt it was the truth and unfortunately we do all die," he said. "It's not very nice but that's what happens to us all."

Stayed here for two nights in March 2013. Booked two units to make one suite as travelling with family. Units were clean but a little worn and dated. Kids enjoyed the outdoor pool which was steps away from our unit. The staff were friendly and knowledgable about the area. The units were a little noisy as we were in bottom units and could hear the people above us, especially running their jacuzzi tub at 10 o'clock at night. The fridge also made a very loud humming noise all night, easily fixed by turning it off if not using. The beds were comfortable and the linens clean. Our only complaint with this resort is the lack of FREE wifi. For $6 every 24 hours, you can purchase wifi in your room. A little unusual to have to pay for wifi these days and we chose to just live without it for a few days. We survived ;). if given the choice, however, between two resorts, we would choose the resort that provides free wifi. Overall, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay here.

I went to Rosina Gourmet downtown last week and they had a new menu up. Pretty much the same sandwiches, but without any prices displayed. It's not that all the items cost the same--there are about 20 choices, and they all have different prices. I asked the staff and they said it was the owner's idea so that they could change the prices if ingredients changed cost.
I find this very disconcerting. It seems like a pretty transparent attempt to raise prices without alerting the consumers. (After all, if prices are really fluctuating, just have chalkboard prices or something.) I felt very uneasy placing my order and then finding out how much is costs. Prices are one of the inputs I use when deciding what to order. I'm being cheated if I don't have all the information.
I adore the food at Rosina, and Vino Rosina also. Some of the best stuff in Baltimore. But I don't know if I can support such an anti-customer mentality.

Question about Acer AL1916W 19" LCD Monitor
Not even a year old. screen appears to have a faint wave motion. web pages are not distorted, its like a tall piece of glass with a thin sheet of water. just started doing this.
Posted by bjthomasfami on
Do you mean that there's a vertical section on the screen that flickers and distorts stuff, but when you take a screen shot, it doesn't show up on the screen shot, so it has to do with the monitor? If so, I have the same problem. Sometimes it goes away on it's own. If you restart, does it get progressively worse sometimes?
Mine is doing the same thing I believe. Its kind of looks like a 60cycle refresh rate on an old CRT monitor, but much worse. I have about 20 of these same screens and can switch the bad one out with an identical working monitor using the same power and VGA cable, and that one displays fine. It makes no difference If I move the bad monitor anywhere in the building, to any other pc or mac and it continues to have the scrolling horizontal lines. Any ideas? Its out of warranty
I have an AL1912 that started doing that after the warranty was up. Sometimes it gets worse, like an old tube tv with the vertical hold scrolling upwards. I give it a few smacks on the top left corner, sometimes it helps, other times shut off the monitor and back on after a few seconds.
Two suggestions
!. Try changing your screen refresh rate. This might help.
2. Try turning off or unpluging any other equipment near the monitor like for example, fans, clocks, radios, etc.
Posted on Feb 23, 2009
If it just started and you haven't changed anything such as graphics card or new video drivers, I would contact the manufacturer since you probably have at least a year warranty on the monitor. Also check that the cable from the computer to the monitor is secure. One other thing, make sure you have not placed anything that plugs into AC too close to the monitor as it may pick up the 60 cycle hum.

Janna Build Guide by C9LemonNation

Janna Build
Support Role
Early Game
Ability Sequence
Threats to Janna with this build
|(Jax represents any Melee Bruiser) Janna is extremely strong vs any melee bruisers, I am using Jax as the main example. Janna excels at keeping melee's from being able to get to your carries.
Welcome to my Janna Support Guide.
Janna is a scaling support with a very passive, somewhat weak, laning phase. She scales extremely well with AP and CDR and that will be what to focus on in itemization.
Janna does not benefit from defensive stats. This leaves 9 in offense for the CDR/AP. For utility you basically get every mastery that is any good at all for support champions. Inspiration is terrible, it just does not give enough experience to be relevant at all. Expanded mind is not really useful on anyone except for possibly a Ryze. Scout is not worth it, you really do not need the added range. Strength of spirit is not worthwhile on Janna since she does not build any flat mana items.
(Armor Marks)
Armor Reds is the only real option available, since magic penetration does not help her shield or healing. Mana regeneration reds would be alright, but they give so little that I prefer having a little bit of armor.
(Magic Resist Glyphs)
You will not be getting any MR from items or masteries, so the 13 MR from blues is beneficial to stop enemies from dealing true damage to you.
(Ability Power Quintessences)
Janna has great AP scaling, so flat AP Quints work quite well.
Skill Explanations
|(Passive) Tailwind
(Q) Howling Gale
Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds
(W) Zephyr
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
(E) Eye of the Storm
Cooldown: 10 seconds
(R) Monsoon
Cooldown: 150/135/120 seconds
Spellthief's Edge will net you the most gold of any of the gold generation items, well also giving you some decent stats for laning phase. Rushing Sightstone lets you provide a large amount of vision on to the map, and is very important to get ASAP. Then you can just rush Frost Queen's Claim and Morellonomicon in either order to max out your CDR at 40% and get a decent amount of AP and mana regen. Getting Rabadon's Deathcap, Banshee's Veil, or Zhonya's Hourglass is situational past this, but I would lean towards getting the Deathcap.
(Jax represents any Melee Bruiser)
Janna is extremely strong vs any melee bruisers, I am using Jax as the main example. Janna excels at keeping melee's from being able to get to your carries.
High damage early game ranged supports, such as Sona can bully Janna extremely hard during the laning phase, and are a big problem for her. Her shield cannot mitigate enough damage to make the matchup favorable.
Early Game
During the laning phase you should let the enemy lane push on you guys. This is due to the fact that Janna cannot win any fights early game. You use shield to mitigate as much damage onto your ADC as possible, but it is likely that you guys will fall a little behind early game due to being forced to last hit under tower. You are basically just trying to survive laning phase without to much damage done, since Janna excels post laning phase.
Mid Game
You are looking to ward the map and peel for your teammates as much as possible. Stick with your ADC as much as possible, as at this point you two should be quite strong together, and should be able to push quite far with your peeling abilities.
Your job is to keep everyone on your team alive for as long as possible. You do this by spamming shields, ulting at the optimal time, using Zephyr to peel the enemy melee bruisers off of anyone they are jumping on, and using Howling Gale to hit as many enemy champions as possible, but focusing on using it for peeling the bruisers.
