Having a lawyer is an easy task as you can get it for free. However, how are you secured that the lawyer you recently hired can win your case?
Having a public lawyer is not a good idea
These lawyers are honorable, as they do their job seriously but getting paid low. The inability to focus on one case is the reason why you should not hire a public lawyer. Private lawyers are getting a lot of money because they assure that there will be no missed trials on your side. Some federal lawyers reschedule the hearing because of the conflict dates.
Category of the crime
The good example is an architect and an interior designer. These two are very similar, but in the bigger picture, their job is different. When you have a homicide case, will you call a bankruptcy lawyer? Not because they are a lawyer you will just get them because that is just the same. Remember, law changes every day, and it is impossible for an attorney to memorize all of it.
Experience is the key
The results will be great if you hire a lawyer who has more than ten years of experience. These intelligent people have been to a lot of trials, and they already know what they will gonna do. Would you bother to pay a lot of bucks to this veteran than to an inexperienced attorney who never attends and won a case?
However, there is no guaranteed that the defendant is already exempted from the crime. Attorneys might not win the case, but they can find a way for the suspect or a victim to reduce the sentence. If you have a case related to vehicles, we recommend you to check car accident lawyer in corpus cristi. The firm delivers excellent service to their past customers, but the rest is still up to you to decide.
Certified Specialist
Anyone can be lawyers, but not all can become an accredited specialist. The certification in the United States and Canada acknowledges the right attorneys as a leader in their field. An additional exam is given to the lawyers before they can call themselves as a certified specialist. However, their rate most likely will be high, but they can assure you that best results will be given whatever the crime is.
It is hard to switch from being the reason why many people get in jail and being the person who will prevent the suspect go to prison. Although it is proven that being a prosecutor to a lawyer is an advantage still, there is no experience on the field. How can you expect a hardnose prosecutor will transform themselves as a defense attorney? It is not possible.
It is crucial to choose lawyers wisely. They will be an instrument for some people to avoid the sentence ruin their life. What is money if you can assure that there will be a good outcome. Let's face it, not all case wins, but if the lawyer is skillful, they can manage to lessen the punishment

Labor says it will fund blood tests of residents at sites around defence bases affected by contaminated groundwater.
Opposition defence spokesman Stephen Conroy said a Labor government would also set up a task force to work out what to do about this contamination, which could affect a substantial number of sites.
"Perfluorinated chemical contamination in Williamtown and elsewhere is a serious issue," he said in a statement.
Defence is facing legal action and claims for compensation after chemicals used in firefighting foam were found in groundwater around RAAF Williamtown near Newcastle and the army's helicopter training base at Oakey, Queensland.
Defence firemen practised extensively with this firefighting foam, used throughout the world by civil and military firemen from the 1970s though to the mid-2000s.
It's now seeking to determine the extent and levels of the contamination.
Senator Conroy said Defence had identified 18 sites known or likely to have used these chemicals, with other commonwealth sites also potentially affected.
He said Labor would fund a study to analyse the impact of perfluorinated chemical contamination on the Williamtown community.
It will also provide a grant to the NSW government to connect affected properties to town water and extend income support for affected commercial fishers.

Permissive as is our society, certain things are still beyond the pale, at least in some circumstances. More and more, though, actions which might have once caused serious alarm and affront now amount only to breaches of etiquette.
Young love
She was young, she was buxom and cute.
Too young or not? That remains moot.
She was ripe and full-grown,
With a will of her own
and a talent for mischief to boot!
He was big and a handsome dumb brute,
Never seen the inside of a suit,
And the way she was dressed
Made him bold to suggest
"Do you fancy a ride in my ute?"
With a logic that's hard to refute,
She said "Alright. Why not? What a hoot!"
They'd gone twice round the block
When he pulled out his cock
And said "So… are you up for a root?"
She was struck momentarily mute,
Being virgin, and not too astute,
But he had a hot car,
And she'd ventured this far,
She said "Yeah, just pull out when you shoot."
Her confession at home caused dispute:
She seemed proud of her new ill repute.
"Have you no sense of shame?"
"What about your good name?"
She replied "As fucks go, it was beaut!"
A young woman has filed for divorce,
On the grounds that her husband is coarse,
Since he had her one day
In an unchristian way,
After dipping his dick in hot sauce!
Mrs Jones gave the milk-man a hug,
On the very same living room rug,
Upon which, by the stains,
They'd just fucked, which explains
Why she looked so decidedly smug.
Said Miss Mosely, "Good Lord, you are lewd,
To allow through your fly to protrude,
Your preposterous meat
Where it may, in the street,
By respectable spinsters be viewed!"
Lady Lester protects her good name,
And is safe from all scandal and shame:
She takes care not to shout,
Lest the word get about
That while fucking the vicar, she came!
She was crippled with guilt and remorse,
Which her pain would, of course, reinforce,
For an indiscreet act,
(All now after the fact),
Which betokened her love for her horse.
After two or three glasses of wine,
She said, "Let's our legs intertwine!
Forgiving's but mortal,"
She said with a chortle:
"To err though, is simply divine!"
An unlikeable woman, called Ritchie,
Is vulgar, ill-mannered and bitchy:
She's contantly rude,
Goes about in the nude,
And she scratches her cunt when it's itchy.
Though Miss Alison Armstrong may seem,
With her pigtails and peaches-and cream,
To be shy and naive,
One would never believe
She does things of which one wouldn't dream!
A young lady, much pampered and spoiled,
Her parents' fond fantasies foiled:
She met, and was had,
By a neighbourhood lad,
And the goods, though not damaged, were soiled.
If you give big, fat Annie a squeeze,
She'll belch beer, and cackle and wheeze:
She might let loose a fart,
(She's a slack-arsed old tart),
And she not too infrequently pees!
Every night Miss O'Dare could be viewed,
Through her window, cavorting quite nude.
Cheeky schoolboys would fight
For a seat for the sight,
But respectable citizens queued.

I think Friday is a good day for some Bowie. I know that for some people David Bowies mix of crazy sexuality and music is just a little too much. But I really love his stuff and the level of talent that he possesses is just incredible as well as the talent of the different people that he has had in his bands over the years. Here are a few of my favorites of his.
Space Oddity is a song that just sticks with you. I love that it tells a story and that it is just so freaking strange. I love that Major Tom just bails out of the spaceship.
Oh you pretty things is just a great song. So good.
Man this movie. I can still watch it and say it is horrible but it just fascinates me.

Calvin Klein + Cast of Moonlight
All week, friends have been sending me images from Calvin Klein's Moonlight underwear series (because they know me well). Certainly, one of the things that this movie did so well is that it represented much that is Man through such important stages of life. It is a beautiful cast to accompany an important story.
To enjoy these men on the big screen screen, of course, check out the film. But for a little more fun, check out these images as I've been, again and again and again.

Just a quick one today... must dash off for school pick up!
I was very excited yesterday when the postman left a parcel for me... NEW STAMPS!!! I've been lusting after the Welcome Christmas set for a while and scored it 50% with the awesome December Frenzy sale. I had two more teacher cards to make, so I trotted out my supplies last night and made these. The first one I have seen so many versions of around the interwebs that I don't know who to credit for inspiring me, so I may just have to send out a general "Thank You" to everyone in the world, just in case ;)
The second card I can credit.. I was flicking through the galleries on Stampin Connection and saw a gorgeous creation by Bridgette Gray (it's not on her blog that I can find, but have linked so you can see her other lovely creations).
On to some non stamping crafts! A friend at school asked me if I would make some of my felt hair clip hangers for her to give as Christmas presents, so voila, here they are!
And one last photo.. my gorgeous boy Wil. He was happily sitting there clapping along to the songs in the car until, of course, I got the phone out to take a photo (while sensibly pulled over, not driving :P), then he pulled the grumpy face. Still cute though :)

Suggestions On Hotels That All Travelers Ought To Have In Their ToolboxFinding a hotel for your vacation is more than just picking a name out of a hotel directory. The hotel that you choose can set the tone for your entire vacation. You want to make the right choice that you and your family will like. Read this article for some helpful tips in finding your hotel.
To minimize your travel expenses when you are staying near a resort area like Walt Disney World, choose a hotel that offers a complimentary shuttle to nearby attractions. In this sort of area, you shouldn't need to rent a car. Instead, use a cab to get to your hotel and then use the shuttle to enjoy the fun.
It's important to make sure that your valuables are safe during a hotel stay, so make use of the room's safe. Put all of your valuables and small electronics into the safe, such as your jewelry and iPad. They'll be safe in there and you can leave the hotel room without worry.
When booking a hotel stay, always check the Internet. There are many travel sites located online that let you compare prices for hotel located in the city of your choosing. Additionally, you can save a lot of money by booking your stay during the weekdays. Weekend rates tend to be higher than weekday stays.
When you arrive at your hotel, thoroughly check your room previous to unpacking. Is it tidy and sanitary? Does your shower, sink, and toilet work in the right way? Are there enough linens and towels? If you notice any problems, report them immediately. If your issues are not resolved, ask to move to another room.
To get the best possible rate for a hotel room, book well in advance of your trip. Rates are markedly higher if you just get the room at the desk. In addition to saving you a lot of money, advance booking will also ensure you aren't left without a room.
Do not always assume that staying on the club floor of a hotel is a great way to waste money. While you may have to pay for this upgrade, you will end up saving more money in the end. This is because things like drinks, appetizers and free breakfast are part of the deal, and these things are very expensive when purchased separately.
It is often helpful to choose a hotel that includes a free breakfast. While many of the breakfasts are not elaborate, they offer you a way to start your day off right without having to search for a place to eat. Many hotels offer a continental breakfast that includes, coffee, tea and pastries while others offer cereal, eggs, pancakes, waffles and other breakfast foods.
12 Tips for Traveling in Costa Rica on a Budget
I'm not going to lie and say that Costa Rica is a cheap country because it isn't. As far as Central America goes it is the most expensive country to travel. That being said, it is possible to travel in Costa Rica on a budget without skimping on fab vibes! I've been traveling in Costa Rica for a year now and have been able to see amazing things in this country while maintaining a tight budget.
1. Don't Book Day Tours Ahead Of Time
2. Skip The Tours Altogether
3. Ask For Discounts
4. Skip The Guides
5. Travel at Off-Peak Times
6. Ask Locals For Tours
7. Eat at Sodas
8. Don't Buy Bottled Water
9. Bring Your Own Alcohol
10. Do Your Own Cooking 12 Tips for Traveling in Costa Rica on a Budget
If you have a little one with you, remember that hotel rooms aren't usually set up for babies. Don't forget to pack a few things so that you can baby proof the space. For example, an outlet cover is small but it plays a big role in keeping your child safe.
If you are concerned about the environment, you may want to take a "green" vacation. Luckily, you can choose from quite a few green hotels these days. Green certification is something some of the newly built hotels are quite proud of promoting. Some older hotels choose to use eco-friendly practices as well, making them a good green option. Request the help of the travel agent in identifying hotels that are environmentally friendly.
If you don't have your heart set on a certain hotel, try using a website like Hotels.com. These types of sites let you put in bids and then return a list of hotels in your price range. The only drawback is that they may not reveal which hotel you have booked until after you have committed to staying there.
If you wish to get a lot out of a hotel stay, especially if you're traveling for your business, get a membership program and join it like what the Marriott or Choice Hotels offers. The more points you get, the more free stays you can use for vacations.
Before booking a hotel room, ask the hotel about their return policy. You never know what could happen and you may end up having to cancel your reservation. If there is no return policy, you could be basically throwing your money down the drain. http://www.newson6.com/story/38242938/ylang-ylang-beach-resort-spa-announces-new-tree-top-resort-hotel-package with a hotel until you know this information.
If you plan to use the telephone provided in your hotel room, know what to expect as far as charges. Some hotels offer free local calls, but others charge for each call. In addition to any long distance charges, the hotel usually adds an extra fee. Use your cell phone to make calls from your hotel room when possible.

If you are concerned about germs, don't use the hotel bedspread. The bedspread isn't washed often, while the sheets are. This might mean the bedspread is carrying bacteria, germs, or bedbugs. For your health's sake, remove the bedspread.
If you are looking to save money on your next trip, it is a good idea to book a hotel that has an in-room kitchen. Many places have full kitchens that include a countertop range and a refrigerator. Preparing your own meals will save you money since you will not need to pay for room service or restaurant food.
A special occasion is a great time to book a hotel room. Hotels will often throw in complimentary swag if you tell them you are traveling on, say, your anniversary or birthday. From champagne to fruit baskets, there are many things that you might receive. However, you should not be dishonest about it because that is not right.
To be a "green" hotel guest, check your bathroom counter and bed for a sign about how to keep the maids from taking your towels away each day. Usually, if you hang your linens up, they will stay in the room, but if you leave them on the floor, the maids will take them and give you clean ones.
Nothing can ruin a family vacation more quickly than a stay in a dirty, grimy hotel. You want your family to remember the good times about the trip, not the disgusting hotel room that you had to stay in. Remember the advice you have read here to make the right hotel reservation.

Interesting panel on electric cars at Green:Net. One of the ideas batted around was, who pays for the electricity and what's the business model? One option is the "free-wifi-if-you-stay-and-buy-another-latte" model. What if you got free electricity while shopping?
…Mark Perry from Nissan pointed out that retailers know down to the dollar how much it is worth in revenue to keep us in their store for one more minute. What if you lingered in the mall for an extra half-hour after work while your Nissan Leaf charges up for free in the parking garage?
I think this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of ingenious business models that will make the cost to operate (and the up-front cost) of pure electric and plug-in hybrids cheaper. For example, while lithium-ion batteries in these cars are expensive, utilities are beginning to explore the value of that battery for storing power and feeding it back to the grid during peak demand hours. What if the car owner doesn't have to buy the battery, but just rents it from the utility in exchange for acting as a standby peak power plant on wheels?

GLN Week 5 Legislative Update
Much earlier than usual, the House and Senate budget conference committee came to a compromise budget agreement this week. Each Chamber passed the bill, and it's now awaiting the Governor's signature. The rest of the week was spent hearing final reports on the state's efficiency study and committees working and debating bills before the Turnaround deadline that has been moved up to next Tuesday.
Budget Bill to Governor
The House and Senate budget conference committee began their meetings on Monday afternoon, and by 7:00 p.m. that night had come to a compromise budget package. On Wednesday, the House accepted the conference committee report by a vote of 68-53 and the Senate by a vote of 22-16. The bill is now on it's way to the Governor's desk for his signature. As adopted the budget holds funding to Pittsburg State stable. It leaves an ending balance of $6.5 million for fiscal year 2016 and $89 million for fiscal year 2017. However, it may need amending during the Veto session when the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group comes out with their revenue numbers in April.
The most contentious items during negotiations and amongst some legislators included the provision to allow the Governor to delay the $100 million fourth quarter payment to the Kansas Public Employee Retirement System (KPERS) to balance the budget for this fiscal year if necessary. Other hot button topics included the STAR bond prohibition that halts the moving of the American Royal to Kansas from Missouri, and whether or not the funding source for Parents as Teachers will restrict the program to lower income families only.
Efficiency Study Experts Propose Top 21 Recommendations
The staff at Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), the the chosen consulting company by the legislature in 2015 to conduct an all agency efficiency study of Kansas government, presented their final report to the House and Senate budget committees on Tuesday. They narrowed down their 105 total recommendations into three categories: highest value, transformational and long term impact. The highest value group of their top 21 recommendations would represent 87% of the total cost efficiency opportunities and where the legislature plans to spend most of their time studying the remainder of the session. Their report also included an implementation schedule and timeline.
A&M's top recommendation to the state was to hire 54 additional tax collection agents to fill current vacancies, which could potentially produce $54 million in collections annually. Another top recommendation was to use excess cash reserves in certain school districts to offset future education funding over a five-year period. Other key recommendations revolved around consolidation of administrative services and K-12 benefits, changes to the state employee health plan, and the creation of a Governor's Grants Office to maximize the amount and use of federal funds available to the state.
The full initial report on the efficiency study can be found here.
Session Calendar Adjusted
In an attempt to prevent a repeat of the 114- day legislative session of 2015 and to show constituents that their elected leaders are making the best use of their time, the session calendar has officially been adjusted and all deadlines moved up.
Turnaround day – when all bills must be
passed out of their respective House of origin – is on Tuesday and the first major deadline that looms three days earlier than originally planned. After Tuesday, the legislature will take a week break and return on March 2. First adjournment will now be on March 25 (originally April 1), giving legislators an entire month off between first adjournment and Veto session. Veto session will still begin on April 27, but it will only be day 69 of the legislative session. The goal is to adjourn before using the statutorily approved full 90- day window.
Senate Passes Bill to Shorten Session
Staying consistent with the theme, the full Senate on Thursday passed by a vote of 25-11 a bill that would limit the number of days in the legislative session to 100 in odd- numbered years and 60 days in even-numbered years. In a biennial budget process, a full two-year budget is written and approved in the odd year and balanced in the even year.
As previously reported, the House Appropriations committee approved a similar bill – only it contained a 75-day limit every year, should the Governor move to an annual budget process – but it has yet to be debated by the full House of Representatives.
House Tentatively Approves Resolution for Constitutional Convention
The House on Thursday approved by a vote of 77-44 a concurrent resolution that requests of Congress to call a convention for the purpose of proposing constitutional amendments and imposes limits on the federal government. Supporters of the resolution want to be the sixth state to send this message to Washington that Kansans are tired of the federal government's overreach. The measure needs 84 votes to be adopted on final action.
Looking Ahead
With the budget completed before Turnaround, the Legislature can spend the rest of the session working through the efficiency study recommendations – paying closest attention to the ones that require legislative action – and evaluating their next move to address the Kansas Supreme Court's ruling last week regarding equitable funding for schools.

Bill To Bar LGBT Discrimination In Jury Selection Reintroduced In Senate
"We appreciate the bipartisan leadership of Sens Shaheen, Collins and Whitehouse to help ensure every American is guaranteed the right to be judged by a jury of his or her peers," an LGBT advocate says.
WASHINGTON — Attorneys would not be able to exclude potential jurors from hearing cases in federal court because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender if legislation introduced in the Senate this week becomes law.
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, joined by Sens. Sheldon Whithouse and Susan Collins, reintroduced the legislation earlier this week.
Currently, federal jurors cannot be chosen or excluded from service based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or economic status. The legislation would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list.
In a statement, Shaheen told BuzzFeed, "Our country is founded on the principles of inclusion, acceptance, and equality. The jury selection process in federal courts should reflect those principles. We simply can't tolerate discrimination against a potential juror because of sexual orientation or gender identity."
The legislation is endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign and the National LGBT Bar Association.
HRC legislative director Allison Herwitt thanked the group of lawmakers for introducing the bill, saying, "We appreciate the bipartisan leadership of Senators Shaheen, Collins and Whitehouse to help ensure every American is guaranteed the right to be judged by a jury of his or her peers."

Introduction to Databricks Delta
Databricks Delta is in Public Preview.
Databricks Delta delivers a powerful transactional storage layer by harnessing the power of Apache Spark and Databricks DBFS. The core abstraction of Databricks Delta is an optimized Spark table that
- Stores data as Parquet files in DBFS.
- Maintains a transaction log that efficiently tracks changes to the table.
You read and write data stored in the
delta format using the same familiar Apache Spark SQL batch and streaming APIs that you use to work with Hive tables and DBFS directories. With the addition of the transaction log and other enhancements, Databricks Delta offers significant benefits:
- ACID transactions
- Multiple writers can simultaneously modify a dataset and see consistent views. For qualifications, see Multi-cluster writes.
- Writers can modify a dataset without interfering with jobs reading the dataset.
- Fast read access
- Automatic file management organizes data into large files that can be read efficiently.
- Statistics enable speeding up reads by 10-100x and and data skipping avoids reading irrelevant information.
Databricks Delta requires Databricks Runtime 4.1 or above. If you created a Databricks Delta table using a Databricks Runtime lower than 4.1, the table version must be upgraded. For details, see Table Versioning.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
- How do Databricks Delta tables compare to Hive SerDe tables?
Databricks Delta tables are managed to a greater degree. In particular, there are several Hive SerDe parameters that Databricks Delta manages on your behalf that you should never specify manually:
- Does Databricks Delta support multi-table transactions?
- Databricks Delta does not support multi-table transactions and foreign keys. Databricks Delta supports transactions at the table level.
- Does Databricks Delta support writes or reads using the Spark Streaming DStream API?
- Databricks Delta does not support the DStream API. We recommend Structured Streaming.
- What DDL and DML features does Databricks Delta not support?
- Unsupported DDL features:
- Unsupported DML features:
INSERT INTO [OVERWRITE]with static partitions.
- Bucketing.
- Specifying a schema when reading from a table. A command such as
spark.read.format("delta").schema(df.schema).load(path)will fail.
- Specifying target partitions using
PARTITION (part_spec)in
- Unsupported DDL features:
- What does it mean that Databricks Delta supports multi-cluster writes?
- It means that Databricks Delta does locking to make sure that queries writing to a table from multiple clusters at the same time won't corrupt the table. However, it does not mean that if there is a write conflict (for example, update and delete the same thing) that they will both succeed. Instead, one of writes will fail atomically and the error will tell you to retry the operation.
- What are the limitations of multi-cluster writes?
Databricks Delta supports transactional writes from multiple clusters in the same workspace in Databricks Runtime 4.2 and above. All writers must be running Databricks Runtime 4.2 or above. The following features are not supported when running in this mode:
- SparkR
- Spark-submit job
- Run a command using REST APIs
- Client-side S3 encryption
- Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Provided Encryption Keys
- S3 paths with credentials in a cluster that cannot access AWS Security Token Service
You can disable multi-cluster writes by setting
false. If they are disabled, writes to a single table must originate from a single cluster.
- You cannot concurrently modify the same Databricks Delta table from different workspaces.
- Writes to a single table using Databricks Runtime versions lower than 4.2 must originate from a single cluster. To perform transactional writes from multiple clusters in the same workspace you must upgrade to Databricks Runtime 4.2.
- Why is Databricks Delta data I deleted still stored in S3?
If you are using Databricks Delta and have enabled bucket versioning you have two entities managing table files: Databricks Delta and AWS. To ensure that data is fully deleted you must:
- Clean up deleted files that are no longer in the Databricks Delta transaction log using
- Enable an S3 lifecycle policy for versioned objects that ensures that old versions of deleted files are purged
- Clean up deleted files that are no longer in the Databricks Delta transaction log using
- Can I access Databricks Delta tables outside of Databricks Runtime?
There are two cases to consider: external writes and external reads.
For these reasons we only recommend the above technique on static data sets that must be read by external tools.
External writes: Databricks Delta maintains additional metadata in the form of a transaction log to enable ACID transactions and snapshot isolation for readers. In order to ensure the transaction log is updated correctly and the proper validations are performed, writes must go through Databricks Runtime.
External reads: Databricks Delta tables store data encoded in an open format (Parquet), allowing other tools that understand this format to read the data. However, since other tools do not support Databricks Delta's transaction log, it is likely that they will incorrectly read stale deleted data, uncommitted data, or the partial results of failed transactions.
In cases where the data is static (that is, there are no active jobs writing to the table), you can use
VACUUMwith a retention of
ZERO HOURSto clean up any stale Parquet files that are not currently part of the table. This operation puts the Parquet files present in DBFS into a consistent state such that they can now be read by external tools.
However, Databricks Delta relies on stale snapshots for the following functionality, which will break when using
VACUUMwith zero retention allowance:
- Snapshot isolation for readers - Long running jobs will continue to read a consistent snapshot from the moment the jobs started, even if the table is modified concurrently. Running
VACUUMwith a retention less than length of these jobs can cause them to fail with a
- Streaming from Databricks Delta tables - Streams read from the original files written into a table in order to ensure exactly once processing. When combined with
VACUUMwith zero retention can remove these files before the stream has time to processes them, causing it to fail.
- Snapshot isolation for readers - Long running jobs will continue to read a consistent snapshot from the moment the jobs started, even if the table is modified concurrently. Running

The night was just like any other: we were entertaining friends and having a good time. Wherever Jamaicans are gathered outside their island there shall be laughter, food and fun. Nothing seemed out of the norm at the time. In retrospect though, I remember a dull ache in the back of my head the size of a US quarter. Nothing to worry about: In my mind I was probably tired and furthermore I was laughing too much to worry about it.
Our guests left and hubby and I did the typical: took showers, kissed good night and snuggled the way we normally do to fall asleep (unless we are mad at each other). But it turned out to be less than a normal night. In the wee hours of the morning I woke up to the dull quarter-like pain extending itself to the nape of my neck and along the lower right quadrant of my head. I woke hubby up and he looked at my head and not seeing anything he told me to go back to bed and it would be fine. I once again snuggled in his arms (the place on earth I feel safest). Morning came and it was not fine, not fine at all. The pain had gotten worst and I had lost use of the right side of my body. In my head I was thinking, "this can't be happening, I can't be having a stroke, I am only 33 years old." If only we knew that a possible stroke was the least of what we should fear.
Hubby, being the great guy he is remained calm, helped me get dress and brushed my teeth as within a split second I became incapable of these basic actions. At this time I cannot even remember if he woke the kids or simply left them with our live-in nanny and raced me to the hospital. Not sure why we had not called an ambulance. If I were to garner a guess I think hubby felt he needed to do everything and be everything at that moment because no one could care for me like he could. The drive from McLean Virginia to the hospital in Fairfax was uneventful except for the moment when I realized that my face felt funny and hubby was looking at me strangely. By the time we got to the ER and I was whisked passed everyone waiting I knew I was in trouble. But the actual trouble was more than we could have imagined.
I was prodded, poked and everyone suspected a stroke but low and behold it was not a stroke. In a few hours my symptoms disappeared, my face no longer drooped, I could again use my right hand and I felt fair to fine. My stroke-like symptoms had gone. The doctor came by and explained to us in a calm voice that in the process of trying to evaluate my situation they found an aneurysm in my head. WHAT? I looked at hubby and wondered if I was hearing things. Get real….I have none of the usual symptoms or possible causes of an aneurysm. I was told it was probably genetic and that it may have been there for most or all of my life. This is where the term, "ignorance is bliss" becomes most applicable. I did not care how long it had been there, I just knew it could not stay. The doctor said she doubted the aneurysm caused my earlier symptoms and that finding it was purely accidental. She sent me home with a copy of the scan and suggested that I see my family doctor the next day.
We were confused at this point. We called my mom in Jamaica and she was traumatized and got on a flight to see me. My family doctor agreed with the ER doctor that the aneurysm did not seem to pose any risk. It was very small and seemed stable. I guess the same way many of us viewed Egypt (the stable part not the small part) before the recent events.
Fast forward 2 weeks later and I was still having the headaches of my life. Our family doctor referred me to a neurologist (she wanted to avoid neurosurgeons, who tend to be 'surgery happy' as are most surgeons, I think). The neurologist tried medicines, injections in my neck, patches etc. – all to no avail. The mega headaches continued. At this point the doctors all felt that the aneurysm was too small to be causing the problems but they couldn't figure it out. By this point I was a hot mess. I was in panic mode, hubby tried hard to hide his fears and my mom was even more of a mess. I think hubby felt at this point that it was his duty to maintain some semblance of calm but knowing him the way I do I know he was hurting.
Fast forward to October 4, 2008. The neurologist decided to refer me to a neurosurgeon and in his wisdom he thought it best to recommend one who no longer performed surgeries. This he thought would be in my best interest as he was not convinced that I needed surgery. How wrong we all were. By this time my mom had returned to Jamaica and hubby was back at work doing his weekly trips to his office in New York and coming home on Thursday nights. So I was off to the neurosurgeon on my own because it was nothing more than routine. I saw the neurosurgeon and I left with only a thought as to why he wore the ugliest shoes I had ever seen. These guys make serious money so why in heaven's name were his shoes so ugly? Anyway, that aside, he told me to head home and he would call me after he had consulted with another neurosurgeon who had also been present for my examination in his office.
I drove myself home and did not even get a chance to wait as my cell rang as I made my way up the stairs to our bedroom. It remains the worst phone call I have ever received. "Mrs. Rodriques, we feel your aneurysm has started leaking. We cannot be sure and it is too late to do a spinal tap to confirm so you need to go to the hospital immediately. Have someone drive you to the Georgetown Hospital; I will inform the ER of your pending arrival. See you in a short while Natalie." The tears flowed from my eyes like never before. What was he really saying? I called hubby, I called my mom and then tried to figure out how to get to the hospital. The nanny had to stay with the kids so I immediately called friends and in no time I was at the hospital, care of Patrice Ford (the best person to have at your bedside during a crisis – can you all say kickass: that's Patrice). She was shortly joined by Michael, my hubby's friend from childhood. Those two human beings distracted me until and even after hubby arrived. My mom got there by the next morning on the first flight out of Jamaica to DC.
The story is stretching too long so I will cut to the chase and tell you that I was sent to the ICU and introduced to Dr. McGrail who saved my life. On October 6, 2008 he opened my head (to my mom's dismay – she maintained that I should not do the surgery. The fear of the unknown was too much for her. Not to mention the scary stories we had read about brain surgeries from the internet). Thank God I had trusted my instincts and agreed to the surgery. When they opened my head they confirmed that the aneurysm had actually been leaking. I could have and would have slowly died without knowing it.
The surgery itself was successful. I will forever live with the scar across my forehead and head, I will forever think back on those many hours they spent clipping my aneurysm, I will always have to do CT scans every few years and I will always have periodic headaches. That bone they could not restore perfectly in my head will always cause a bulge to the side of my face (hardly noticeable now) but I am alive. I am alive and well. I get to see my children grow and to snuggle with my hubby at nights. I get to argue with my mom (it's like a sport between us) as often as we wish and I get to laugh with my friends, my dad, my mom and my siblings. I get to live my life the way hubby and I choose. For this I will be forever grateful. For this I sometimes shed a tear of gratefulness and other times it is tears of fear. Fear that another aneurysm will rear its ugly head (the risk exists and is real). Fear for my girls who stand a strong chance of inheriting this from me. Every time they complain of a headache I wince and worry but by the power vested in me I will not allow this blemish in my life to control me. Unlike the many athletic races I lost in high school, I will outrun my medical history so that I can live to see my husband's hair turn gray and my grandkids. Take that aneurysm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time……ONE LOVE!!!!!!!

McCutcheon v. FEC
The April 2014 Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission removed aggregate limits for individual donors giving to candidates, political parties and PACs. There are still limits on how much any individual may give to each of those committees. No longer, though, is there an overall cap on how much one person can give to these committees combined in an election cycle; the last such limit, which was in place until the court's ruling, was $123,200. The ruling expands opportunities for deep-pocketed donors to contribute to as many recipients as they want and fuels the creation of "super JFCs" — joint fundraising partnerships between many campaigns or party committees, which allows them to collect one large check from each donor and split the proceeds. While JFCs are not new, the pre-McCutcheon limits had the practical effect of keeping them relatively small, since a donor couldn't give to many committees before hitting the cap. Big donors are even more sought after now, and politicians who can draw those donors in on the behalf of their JFC partners have increased clout.

The enormous line that's inevitably snaking out from the register is your first clue that eggslut doesn't serve ordinary egg sandwiches. Every element of their take on the hangover breakfast staple is carefully considered: the brioche bun is perfectly browned, the bacon is just the right thickness, and the eggs, of course, are exactly the right fluffy consistency (they offer them over-medium, but scrambled is definitely the order of choice). The famous Fairfax sandwich comes with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and Sriracha mayo. A second location just opened in Venice.

Yesterday, the reporter in Beijing, south of the second ring of a real estate intermediary spent a morning time, only to meet a customer who came to the house. Here the store official told reporters before the National Day in September 30th, here is the bustling, Beijing property market regulation after the upgrade, the National Day deserted lot. Beijing I love my home store manager Wang Chuanwei: September more than a day when there are ten to twenty groups, and now the normal price of a day in the group of two or three. Compared with September, the decline is still very strong. Wang Chuanwei said, in 7893 months, many customers are on the same day showings signing day, I love my home real estate data show that in September, the average number of showings per customer is 2.79 times, at the same time, each houses were sold before the average number of only 8.76 times.

There are some property buyers look forward to the introduction of new regulation and control in Beijing, prices can fall.

COLOURFUL Midlands multi-millionaire Tim Watts has fired off another vitriolic broadside against civil servants – and claimed that many are "sponging off the private sector".
The war of words between the Pertemps tycoon and the Public and Commercial Services Union escalated after the union expressed outrage at his claims that civil servants had set a bad example to rioters and looters.
Mr Watts claimed rioters were "only human beings" who had seen "civil servants pocket millions of pounds with their gold-plated pensions and incomes roughly 30 per cent higher than their equivalents in the private sector."
But Andrew Lloyd, PCS regional secretary, said the average civil servant's pension was around £4,200 a year, which "wouldn't even buy a wheel on Mr Watts' Rolls Royce car".
The multi-millionaire said: "At the last count some 170 senior civil servants were earning over £150,000, more than the Prime Minister.
"Anyone in the game for the long term is on a bung only dreamed of by many in the private sector who are, in effect, paying for it.
"The Government needs to put a stop to this gold-plated greed."
Mr Watts, a keen punter on horse racing, said: "Every penny I have earned has been through my own efforts, being a self-employed entrepreneur for over 40 years.
"I have set up over 170 companies employing between 20,000 and 30,000 people and making contributions to Her Majesty's Exchequer by remittances of PAYE, National Insurance contributions, VAT and Corporation Tax in excess of £200 million per annum and very much doubt that Andrew Lloyd has contributed a fraction to society that I have."
Mr Watts said a recent survey showed that a career civil servant approaching 50 stood to reap nearly six times as much in employer pension contributions.
The civil servant would have a projected pension worth £28,900 a year on retirement while his private sector counterpart would have an equivalent of just £11,600, he said.

This smile fills my heart with joy . . . . I wanted to document day 7 of Katya's journey with the swelling, and when she saw the camera, this is what I got!! What a HUGE contrast from the days when she would frown and hide her face from us when we wanted a photo, and even try to physically block the camera lense with her hand.
We can see there is still some swelling, but it's much better than it was, and Katya's improved disposition (in general) lets us know we are going in a good direction.
And just for anyhow, I had to include this photo too. Any of my readers remember what Katya's hair looked like when she first came home?!
Contrast that to NOW.
We are still so happy that Dr. Dorafshar preserved as much of Kaya's hair as he could after he found out that was a huge issue to her! Like I told him at the time, "I don't know if Johns Hopkins has a patient sensitivity award or not, but if it does, you deserve it!" We wouldn't have this lovely head of hair if he had done what he normally did and shaved her entire head pre-op. Thanks to his willingness to work with her hair in corn rows, and my friend, Janet's willingness to come 2 hours one way I believe it was, to use her experience working in a Haitian orphanage to corn row Katya's hair, Katya's lovely golden locks were largely saved!
So thankful.

We had a lovely weekend here and since sunny weekends seem to equal me wanting to sew I managed to turn a remnant into an apron for Miss S's costume so maybe people will stop telling her she's very "fancy".
shrug I know, I don't understand how a fairly plain dress with about $2 worth of trim can be fancy...but there you have it.
It dang well better be the final costume....the play is in 2 days!
Here's a quick snapshot of the gusset I did for the dancing.
Basically I opened up the arm hole seam up until ...the notches probably? Then I had Miss S put the dress on and raise her arms. I measured the gap that opened and made sure it was going to be enough and not put any strain on the arm hole. From there I just made this football shaped thing (cut on the bias for maximum stretch) that was the length of the portion of the seam I let out by the width of the gap created.
Pin, sew and done! FYI I sewed the gusset in by hand as I felt I'd have more control. I was right. If I was to do this again I would sew one side of the gusset down and then sew the sleeve in going across the gusset rather than the armhole. But of course I was doing this after so....hand sewing was easier.

The New York Mets defeated the Saint Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon/evening, in 18 innings, (3-1).The Mets went 1-26 with runners in scoring position, this is nothing new to this team. Coming into Sunday's game, New York was hitting .234 with RISP (9th-worst in MLB). They are now hitting .227 in such situations.
The Amazing's now have a record of 48-44 and they are 2.0 games behind the Washington Nationals for the division lead. They are 4 games over .500 despite having the worst batting average (.230) in major league baseball. Daniel Murphy is the only player on the roster who has played more than 60 games and has a higher batting average than .260. Murphy is batting .269 and leads the team in that department.
To say the Met have struggled offensively over the past few years is an understatement. Yet, they haven't been able to sign big time free agents worth long term deals because financially they have been a mess since the Bernie Madoff fiasco. In 2000, the Mets owed Bobby Bonilla $5.9 million, he had just completed a season in which he produced only four home runs and 18 RBI, so both he and the team wanted to end the relationship. The 36 year old Bonilla came up with the greatest contract plan in the history of sports. He and his agents asked the Mets to pay him nothing for 11 years, and then to pay him $1.19 million a year between 2011 and 2035. The Mets owed him $5.9 million, yet they agreed to pay him $30 million. Mets fans are screaming on social media and sports talk radio for the team to make a move and get a quality bat in the lineup. Here are five things to help the team as the trade deadline approaches.
5) Hire a trainer for Bobby Bonilla- Why should Bonilla just relax and get paid $1.9 million dollars to do nothing? That is reminiscent of Kobe Bryant. (The Lakers signed Bryant to a 2 year $48 million dollar contract he has played 41 games in two years.) The Mets are struggling offensively have him suit up and be a pinch hitter. The team is hitting .230 he can't do any worse. I am obviously kidding, but make him a scout, a bat boy, something to earn that money!
4) Be Sellers not Buyers- Curtis Granderson is 34 years old and he is making $16 million per year. He will not be a part of the Mets long term success. If the Mets can package him for a young prospect I would do it in a heartbeat.
3) Don't mortgage the future for a mediocre present- When my friends first started dating someone we would go out to a club or bar and they would be talking to a woman who was not their girlfriend. I would utter this phrase constantly to them, "Don't mortgage the future for a mediocre present." They had a quality woman, why ruin it. The Mets are in the same situation right now. Last week Hall of Famer John Smoltz said the Mets' group of young starting pitchers is "way better" than the 1990s Braves rotation that featured Smoltz and fellow Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux. That is high praise and yet to be proven, but, Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz, and injured 25-year-old Zack Wheeler can all be 20 game winners. Stay the course… Don't trade any of these players now.
2) David Wright effect- The Mets have had a good season up until this point without David Wright. He is arguably their best offensive player and he has only played in 8 games. I am not saying that Wright is the "cure all" for what woes the Mets but his bat and professionalism would help this team.
1) Believe it or not… The Mets are building the right way- Over the past 2 years there have been 15 games were a team has stuck out 14 or more times and won. So what does that mean? It means that offensive is no longer what wins in major league baseball. In 2000 there were 22 teams that finished the season batting over .265. This year there are only 4 teams batting over .265:
Detroit Tigers – .279
Kansas City Royals -.274
San Francisco Giants -.272
Colorado Rockies – .272
MLB has banned over 50 supplements, the direct results have been offenses are on the decline. Because the schedule is so brutal (162 games) players can't recover as quickly and their lack of production at the plate has proven this. Pitching wins and that is what the Mets have. They have young arms with an array of talent. Stay the course, enjoy the rest of the season. If the Mets can trade Bartolo Colon or Granderson I am all for it. Get a young bat and keep developing the farm system. Mets fans… New York hasn't been to the playoffs since 2006, and they haven't had a winning record since 2008. Enjoy the rest of the season and if they don't panic and keep their arms… they could be what the Braves were under Smoltz over the next 15 years. From 1991-2005 the Braves won 13 division titles. Mets fans would sign up for half of that.

Today I thought I'd share some pretty pictures from my garden. These are mostly from my one and only border that I've managed to get planted, it runs down one side of my garden, and it makes me feel that I'm getting some where, the rest of the garden is still full of weeds, and the border spurs me on as it's so lovely to see everything grow and flowers bloom, hopefully one day the whole garden will be finished.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.
I'm so happy that everything's growing so well, some of the plants were just tiny cutting and have now got so much bigger. I can't wait to see what plants lower next, and hopefully I'll get another border started soon.
Cheerio for now,
Heather. :-)


text: Hello all, I just have a few short questions about the FAN discount on AT&T. 1) Can the Apple store apply FANs? If not, could I buy the phone from Apple and then apply the FAN online/on the phone?e 2) Do I need the actual FAN from my work before I go to the store or can they look it up in some sort of database there if I provide company identification? 3) Does the FAN have to belong to the primary account holder? i.e. If my dad had a FAN could I apply it to my plan, even though he was on another carrier. Thanks in advance. Hopefully sometime soon I'll have an iPhone at a reasonable rate..

What a gorgeous way to show how much you care...
The presentation card reads:
"Anam cara" means "soul friend" in Gaelic. Your friendship is strong, true, and stands the test of time and distance. You are a part of me.
Wear this pendant as a reminder that you are loved, cherished, and appreciated. You have a friend in me today and always.
~ Each spiral is handmade in our Seattle studio.
~ A gorgeous, Celtic knot pattern adorns the inside of the spiral. This pattern is actual a part of the silver - not just etched on.
~ The text is hand stamped - NOT engraved, so it will not rub away.
~ We use a hefty supply of eco-friendly sterling silver for each spiral (no wimpy metals here!)
~ Each pendant measures 2 1/2" tip-to-tip/
18" chain included

You probably found this article if you were looking for Kyani reviews online. You may have joined the company and you just aren't sure that you made the right decision.
Maybe you haven't joined yet, but you want to learn as much as you can about the company before you do make that final decision.
Everyone will have their own opinion about Kyani and the products that they offer, but keep in mind that this doesn't mean that the reviews they've written are 100% accurate.
Before you make any decision at all, make sure that you read this review in its entirety. I am in no way affiliated with this company, nor do I intend to join the company at this time.
Once you read this blog post, you'll be able to make your own, educated decision about Kyani, and whether or not it's right for you.
The Basics on Kyani Reviews
If you want to know the heart and soul of a company then it's wise for you to learn more about how the company began.
Kyani is known for humble beginnings. Most Kyani reviews seem to get this information correct, and you'll generally hear two family names mentioned; the Hansens and the Taylors.
Although one family focuses on retail and real estate, and the other on farming potatoes and raising cattle, they both discovered the power of two amazing natural Superfoods.
- Wild Alaskan Blueberries.
- Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon.
While both Superfoods are super potent, both families wanted to come together and share what they learned about these foods with the world.
The best part is that they chose to use the direct marketing business model to share not only the products but the opportunity for you to build a home based business.
Most of the reviews that I read online were taking a look at Kyani as a cure for illness. Kyani doesn't make such claims on their website, but they promote the use of the products for better health and wellness.
The only thing that the website promotes is the ability to start a home based business with the company, and it also shares information about the company, leadership, and the products.
What else should you know before you take a more in-depth look into Kyani as your home business opportunity?
What Other Kyani Reviews May Not Tell You
What some reviews may not tell you is that every home business opportunity is VERY similar to Kyani. Every company that uses direct marketing as a business model, offers you the opportunity to start a home based business using their products, their name, and their materials for marketing purposes.
Every company has its own compensation plan, and while those are all different, it's important that you know what the plan is and how you get compensated.
Learn as much as you can before you sign on the dotted line. Also, keep in mind that you have to put in the time to work the business. This means learning more about talking to prospects, and learning how to market your brand online.
If you want to grow your business, and go beyond what you read in most Kyani reviews, learn as much as you can about direct marketing and how to reach the masses online.

Foundation Priorities
Tree of Lights Campaign
As the Christmas season approaches, so does what has become an annual tradition in the Madawaska Valley, the Tree of Lights Campaign and Celebration.
This Campaign isalways a very meaningful because it gives us the opportunity to honour someone special or remembera loved one by purchasing a bulb in their name, and at the same time, give the precious gift of health.
Your support this year will make an impact on the precious lives of many patients who depend on the St Francis Memorial Hospital to be there for them or their loved ones when it comes to heart health.
Whether you are a year round or seasonal resident, there are few of us that have not been touched by the St Francis Memorial Hospital in some way. Having 24 hour access to Emergency and Medical services eliminates the one hour plus drive to the next hospital, which can be stressful and literally life threatening, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Precious patient lives have been saved at St Francis, and keeping it well equipped helps us to continue to save many more.
Click here to give and donate the gift of heart health this Christmas and support the Tree of Lights Campaign.

While other activists have been released, the whereabouts of Ghani are still unknown.

As Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's deadline for Occupy L.A. drew near, hundreds of people hurried toward the encampment on the grounds of City Hall, as if the tower were a signpost in the dark. Protesters carried their now-familiar signs, and revolutionary book sellers set out their wares. Sympathizers brought crates of food, Occupy tourists brought their dogs, and drummers supplied a continuous beat.
As the hour of eviction approached Sunday night, volunteer medics tensely inventoried remedies for tear gas and pepper spray. Near the steps of the south entrance to City Hall, leaders did their "human microphone" shout-out of instructions on how to get arrested.
"Sit down and let your body go limp. Take a deep breath," a woman advised.
"Take a deep breath!" the crowd shouted back, passing it along.
"And ground yourself," she said.
"And ground yourself!" they responded.
"Fifteen minutes!" shouted another organizer.
"Fifteen minutes!"
But the witching hour came and went. In the black sky, a police helicopter hovered. Scores of police hung back, cordoning off nearby streets. A young woman smiled giddily as she posed next to a solemn-faced officer in riot gear like a tourist mugging with the guards at St. James' Palace. Her friend snapped a photo.
