Clients consider that one of his important traits in his capacity to grasp issues and put them in to a document, while another is that Birnbaum rarely puts up on objection without supplying alternative issues to move forward. THE BEST LAWYERS IN AMERICA (1997-present) Currently listed in the following categories: Business Litigation Real Estate Law Real Estate Litigation Alternative Dispute Resolution (Mediation and Arbitration) Eminent Domain/Condemnation Law Legal Malpractice-Defense Bet-the-Company Litigation Representative Client Comments from "Gary is the Guru of Arizona real property development law. He has an amazing ability to sit down with a group of aggressive and obnoxious developers and take control of the negotiations. Everyone listens intently when Gary speaks. He can also be very easy-going with a unique sense of humor. Gary always makes the client feel at ease and produces requested work product posthaste without any errors. His sense of humor also has a disarming affect on settlement negotiations involving property transactions. Finally, Gary is seen by many as a mentor and is an incredibly generous individual." Joel Stern - City Attorney City of Apache Junction "Gary is an incredibly bright lawyer. Gary does a great job of understanding the client's objectives and coming up with creative ways to achieve them. We have received a higher level of service and professionalism from Gary than any other lawyer has ever provided us." Mike Ebert - Managing Partner RED Development "If Mr. Birnbaum had studied voice rather than law, the world would have known four great tenors in the last 30 years. His intellect and work ethic yield enormous benefits to his clients. In the several condemnation cases that Gary defended for me, the results (one of which was eight figures) exceeded my own expectations." James Kaufman - Proprietor Kaufman Mortgage Company 19
20 "Gary wins cases. He can organize the case to communicate. Gary can offer counsel on a wide variety of matters and is a student of the law. He is tenacious and relentless, but not pig headed. Gary will tell you when he believes you are wrong and he will encourage you when you are right. Gary is unafraid of being in a tight spot, yet he will not get in one thoughtlessly. In a fight, he is the person you want on your side." E.J. Joe Shoen - Chairman U-Haul International "Gary is a staunch advocate, skillful dealmaker, persistent negotiator, and patient educator. Gary's partnership has been an essential factor in structuring and negotiating a series of public/private partnerships between our development firm and municipalities in Arizona and other Southwestern states. These partnerships have facilitated both significant public infrastructure improvements and major retail developments, which in turn have generated increased sales tax and property tax receipts while also providing employment opportunities and community amenities for the local area." Robert Mayhall - Principal WDP Partners, LLC "I first met Gary some 30 years ago when we were first-year associates just out of law school. My impressions of Gary have remained the same during our three-decade relationship. He is the most intelligent, creative, and hard working attorney that I know. Gary is very well respected by all who know him. He is very skilled at both written and oral communication and experienced at providing a variety of legal and business-related advice." Thomas Schoaf - Mayor City of Litchfield Park "We feel as a community in Cave Creek that Gary Birnbaum is a friend who cares about our best interest. Time and time again when we need a creative mind to present us with resolution for an important and complex issue, Gary is always available with a complete attention and full support of a cadre of skilfull, experienced, and dedicated lawyers. We feel that Gary represents always the good and positive side of his profession." Usama Abujbarah - Town Manager Town of Cave Creek "Gary Birnbaum is the best real estate/condemnation lawyer in Arizona. Gary led the way on a City of Phoenix condemnation of my property, which, at the time, paid the highest price per square foot in the history of Arizona. Gary is efficient, ethical, and his character is beyond reproach. He takes my phone calls at the office, home, and in his car. I trust and respect Gary. He is very committed to his clients. " Leon Woodward - President U.S. Parking Systems, Inc. "Gary has quickly become a very valuable resource to me as the General Counsel of a large real estate development company. Gary is very well respected for being extremely bright and well versed in both the law and the practice relevant to our industry. What I like most about Gary's counsel is that he often provides both a legal and a practical answer to a given issue. At times, it is his practical answer that solves the issue most efficiently." Bradley Wright - Vice President and General Counsel SunCor Development 20

I've already rolled back to the non-patched version, because mine wouldn't sync (would get stuck whenever checking for new messages), but before I rolled back, I checked my Server URL, and it still said the following (with DeltaSync in the URL). Could this be the reason why, after patching, it would no longer sync?

Taking part in this diet has caused me notice many things about my lifestyle. Just as soon as I'm ready to congratulate myself for hardly ever driving a car or eating only sustainably produced meat, I am confronted with my beauty product habit or my salt and pepper grinders.
I absolutely love these grinders. All I have to do is press a button and immediately, freshly ground salt and pepper fall over my food — they even have a spotlight that comes on while you're grinding.
I never considered that these grinders were anything but awesome. But after I began the diet and viewed them in the light of their energy use — they run on six AAA batteries that need to be swapped out every eight weeks or so — I must admit they are ridiculous. I'm perfectly capable of using a hand grinder, even though it's not as cool. How many things like this would we avoid buying if we thought about the environmental impact first?
Ironically, the same purchasing power that allows me to have ridiculous salt and pepper grinders affords me the advantage of being able to buy eco-friendly things that others cannot. I can accept a higher price for things like grass-fed meat (though I've noticed that when it comes to ground beef at chains such as Whole Foods and Wegman's, price differences between conventional and grass-fed ground beef are now either small or nonexistent), organic greens at the farmer's market and Method concentrated detergent.
These purchasing decisions are made even easier by the fact that they mostly benefit me: organic products are better for me, and concentrated detergent is a lot easier to carry. This is where the marketing and manufacturing industries have tremendous power: They can create products that are easier on the environment. Maybe they can even price them so that they're competitive with non-eco-friendly choices. And they can make them the same or better than what we had before.
Last year, Kimberly-Clark rolled out (excuse the pun) tube-free toilet paper, which my mom proudly informed me that she'd purchased at Sam's Club because well, it's just cool. Even though the idea of taking out the tube seems trivial, it will save 160 million pounds of trash, according to the company's estimates — and, perhaps just as important, it represents a shift in thinking about a product that has been the same for years. We always took that cardboard tube for granted; now we wonder, why did we ever need it in the first place?

|Matt Barber
A time such as this that is now here!
With so many candidates that were running for the Republican Party nomination, well, of course there will be Republican voters with different views, and that was pretty much the case in the Iowa Caucuses. But now, with Iowa out of the way, and as the nomination process progresses, even more of the nominee hopefuls have dropped out. The truth is, the number of plausible candidates is down to three: Trump, Cruz, and Rubio.
So let's be honest, Cruz and Rubio are neck and neck, but with both of them still in the race, they will continue to help keep Donald in the lead.
Jesus warned: "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). Nothing has borne out this reality in recent decades like that exasperating spectacle called the Republican presidential primary. These last few GOP horse races have been jam-packed with would-be conservative and faithfully Christian presidents who, after infighting with largely simpatico opponents, have canceled each other out, limped off to lick their wounds and left the perpetually underwhelmed GOP base to stay home and not vote for "imminently electable" establishment paragons like Presidents Dole, McCain and Romney. Divide and conquer. That's how the "moderate" GOP establishment plays the primary.There is really only one way that anybody but Trump could win the GOP nomination right now. That is if there was just one candidate left for Trump to face. There is a good chance that Cruz could stay in the race, and that is if he wins in Texas on Super Tuesday (March 1, 2016). There is a really good chance that Rubio will not win in Florida, his home state. I believe that if Carson, Kasich and Rubio all drop out, at least following Super Tuesday, and endorse Cruz, Ted would have a good chance to win the nomination. My recommendation would be that they drop out before Tuesday and support Cruz.
And then they lose the general.
Albert Einstein famously quipped that the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." In that sense, we conservatives are insane.
How about trying something new?
Matt Barber is absolutely correct, something must happen in order to stop Donald Trump. If your Spanish is really all that good, Senador Marco Rubio, you should understand this: Un momento como este que ahora está aquí.
Ted Cruz 'for a time such as this'
I've never formally endorsed a candidate in any presidential primary. This time the stakes are too high not to. Look around. The world is on fire and the party of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, not to mention the GOP's Obama-enabling RINO establishment, are playing with gasoline. And so, while he's been among my top picks…

Once you try this crock pot monkey bread in a casserole crock pot, you will curse finding the recipe. One bite is never enough when it comes to monkey bread. Plus the fact you can fix it and forget it in the crock pot makes it even easier to make.
Five simple ingredients get you on the way to one of our favorite caramel pull apart bread. I have made this in the oven but recently decided to try it in my favorite casserole crock pot.
Crock Pot Monkey Bread
To start, quarter two cans of large buttermilk refrigerator canned biscuits. I just run a knife through a stack of them to quarter them. Then add them to a ziplock bag of cinnamon and sugar. Give them a good shake and set aside to get started on the caramel sauce.
Just like the oven baked monkey bread, the caramel sauce just needs butter, brown sugar, a little water and salt and a good boil. Then you just pour half on the bottom of the greased crock pot and save half for the top of the biscuits.
Just drizzle the caramel sauce over top. As the biscuits bake, the sauce will warm and spread all over the biscuits. The ooey, gooey biscuits will be ready in just two hours.
Get your coffee brewed and ready for a large plate of monkey bread to go along with your monkey bread. Now, the edges will be a little crustier than the inside, so eat around the edges before diving in the middle. If you like brownie edges, you will like monkey bread edges too.
Get the Recipe Now
Crock Pot Monkey Bread
- 2 cans of refrigerator large biscuits like Grands
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 stick of butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Cut biscuits into quarters and set aside. Pour sugar and cinnamon into a large ziplock bag and set aside with cut biscuits.
- In a small pan, melt butter, sugar, water and salt together. When mixture begins to boil, remove from heat and pour ⅓ of sauce in the bottom of a greased casserole crock pot.
- Place the cut biscuits in the bag of sugar and cinnamon. Shake to cover the biscuits and then put the biscuits evenly over the sauce in the crock pot.
- Finish by pouring the remaining sauce over top of the biscuits.
- Place the lid on the crock pot and cook for 2 hours on high heat.
- Serve immediately.

Discussion in 'Transformers General Discussion' started by soundwave_217, May 11, 2008.
G1 ,and Beast Wars connected?
The characters from Beast Wars are from the time period after the Great War had concluded. Through some transwarp bullshit or w/e they went back in time to before the characters in the Ark from Generation 1 woke up. I.e., prehistoric earth.
So Beast Wars has future characters, but its almost like a prequel.
The Great War between Autobots and Decepticons ended 300 years earlier, and their descendants - the Maximals and Predacons - have an uneasy peace, the Pax Cybertronia. The Maximals and Predacons are roughly two generations on from the Transformers shown in Season 3, if you go by Rattrap's "Great Aunt Arcee" quote.
A few of the G1 guys are still alive and show up - the main one is Ravage, also Grimlock in the comics, and according to their profiles, the Magnaboss group.
The plot also ties into G1 throughout the end of season 2 and the whole season 3. It's time travel, and also there is some very cool stuff involving a certain Decepticon warship...
Also, Starscream's Ghost makes a cameo in Season 1. Can't forget that!
Separate names with a comma.

How San Diegans spend free time
Motorcycles, girl beauty contests, bingo, painting vans, polo, fox hunting
Various Authors 8:30 a.m., Dec. 9
Colleen Daley lives on a sunburnt patch of overzoned Chula Vista real estate. She is besieged by the odiferous crosscurrents of wafting grease and the crackling bark of drive-in order speakers — her one-bedroom ranch is surrounded by fast-food joints. And that's where she thinks her problems as a marijuana farmer started.
"The plants were eight feet tall," she says. "My boyfriend and I were trying to keep things under wraps, but you know, you can only do so much. So it's like they kind of knew."
"They," she suspects, were employees from one of these restaurants who had spotted her marijuana plants sprouting up through the roof of the greenhouse tucked in the far left corner of the yard, a rust bucket of a thing in its final stages of dilapidation. Daley guesses that if some covetous neighbor couldn't have Daley's grow, he'd made sure she couldn't either.
"There were 13 officers in ninja outfits," she recalls, of the day the police busted her.
She had 20 plants, putting her grow at 8 plants over the legal limit according to the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 (California Proposition 215), which makes the growing, purchasing, and ingestion of marijuana legal for those who can demonstrate a medical need for the drug.
Daley smokes pot because she suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS). Most of the time, she deals with an exhausting but manageable combination of muscle numbness, irritation, and spasms. But she knows it's only a matter of time before her MS kicks into high gear.
She's a big girl, "on the hefty side," as she puts it. Her fleshy face holds expressive brown eyes, and when she smiles they smile right along. "It's a lifetime thing," she says of the disease. "The regression is very slow — like a slow torture."
MS eats away at the sheathing around the brain and spinal chord — in the same way that mice will nibble away at a house's plastic-coated wires. Depending on its severity, the disease causes excruciating pain. Daley has undergone heart surgery and lives with a pacemaker and a mechanical aortic valve in her heart. The mutiny in Daley's body has also manifested itself in a bizarre condition known as Arnold-Chiari malformation, in which part of the brain pushes down through the base of the skull.
"The first time I went to get diagnosed by a neurologist, he sent me for a neck X-ray," she says. "They found out that — this is so weird — that I had about an inch and a half of brain leaking down my neck — like the stem was coming down into it. Right, like I don't have enough problems. So I had to have brain surgery too."
Cannabis's active ingredient is THC — tetrahydrocannabinol — a complex molecule that custom fits itself to inhibitors and stimulators in the human body's neurological skein. Medical research is coming around to what everyone from Bob Marley to William F. Buckley has held to be true — by tweaking these various response mechanisms in the body, the naturally occurring THC in marijuana palliates pain and delivers an intricate palette of highs that depend on the cultivation and processing of the cannabis plant.
The other common active ingredient in marijuana, cannabidiol (CBD), works as both a spigot for THC, controlling the amount released by the plant, while adding its own particular effect to the drug. If THC puts the "high" in marijuana high, then CBD puts the "stone" in marijuana stone. Working as a sedative, it both complements and counteracts the THC, leading growers to breed pot varietals that rival wine grapes in number and flavor.
It was Daley's desire to process her own marijuana that first led the CVPD on its wild goose chase — before the CVPD could confiscate her grow, it's had a tough time of it corralling three ornery China geese that made no distinction between cops and thieves.
With 700 square feet of backyard to run around in and three kiddie pools to wade in, the geese served as guards for Daley's late, great marijuana-growing operation. She put the geese out there, she said, after she began noticing footprints and bent plots of grass where sleeping bodies, presumably transients, had lain the night before.
As a backup to her guard geese, Daley electrified the top of a five-foot-high stone wall, enclosing her backyard with a livestock fence packing a 7000-volt charge.
"You really have to be trying to get over that wall to hit that charge," she explains. "And one night, someone did."
She figures that one of the restaurants' employees just couldn't resist.
"I have an audio tape [part of a homemade camera surveillance system] of a pulsating shock and then—" Her face lights up with a mixture of sympathy and mischievous delight — a scream — 'AH...
AHHH... AHH... AHHHHHHH!' And then a couple of minutes later you hear a girl's voice saying, 'Can you stand up?' So someone got zapped and thrown, and I heard the scream — I was up watching TV, say ten o'clock at night — and you can hear me in the audio tape saying, 'Yeah.… That's why I bought [the electric fence]!' "
Perhaps, she acknowledges, the precautions were too effective — not long after, the CVPD came knocking. Daley admits to being guilty as charged of exceeding her 12-plant limit, but she found out the hard way that the letter of the law is all that matters to officers of the law.
"I was way over my legal limit, so I can't say anything about that because that was my fault. But we were growing outdoors, and bugs were killing everything, and we went through two harvests without production because of the bugs. With this second harvest, the cops showed up and took everything. They left one plant for me, and I told them that they were taking my medicine…"
These days she buys her weed. Compared to growing her own, the monthly visit to a local dispensary (she won't reveal its name or location) leaves a hollowed-out feel to her wallet.
What can I say? Pharmaceauticals are rampant, and if cannabis really helps patients, it should be considered medication. Therefore, these patients aren't getting high, they are medicating.. Kudos to the Reader for opening the door to more conversation and discussion about Proposition 215.
I believe any one who has spent any time investigating this subject beyond talking to your casual uninformed friends will conclude its time America embrace this . Its sad when so many of us fall prey to the media , or worse government negative slants on things like the use of this plant .
I am a conservative and yet with my travels have realized how behind western medicine is in many areas . Its funny when something grows naturally it can be called a Drug , vs something like aspirin which if you take 13 of you might die . The side effects on most of the items in any of your medicine cabinets at home are far more dangerous they just are taxed now and have become a revenue stream .
Any substance can be abused , and we will always have a small percentage of people who will be bad examples for the world . What's sad is how many good people really need to use this as more safe alternative to what they are doing to relax . I see so many people use alcohol to come down after a stressful day , or worse pills . I believe as a country we are becoming more focused more on helping the patient vs the regulation of these types of substances . Its about time :)
On a second note its also sad that some people feel that you have to be a burn victim or have some major accident or horrible unfortunate medical condition to justify using plant .
This would tend to make us feel our personal anxiety or emotional stress is not a BIG enough deal to warrant finding a natural solution in addition to things working out or yoga .
Learning to manage your stress or even just how you are ( wired ) is a huge step towards having healthy relationships and a happy life .
Im very glad to hear there are so many Doctors out there now willing to stand up for this and to take the negative that comes with it .
compassion please cannabis when recomended by a doctor is medicine, it reduces the need and dependence on opiates, it has been proven safe and effective . i believe the state health dept should step in and regulate the formation of growing coops so money is not invoveld in pruchasing... in makeing this medicine avaiable to patients, it cost's money to grow so like oregon does we can do. and have compassion for its need and use..subsidize its availability ;oregon has a million dollar source of income for the state,thru their system, and the state attorney general will not allow the feds to interfere with state mandated laws......... the solution has been demonstrated folks please COMPASSION
In response to post #4. If California did that it would probably help to alieviate some of our debt and also I'm sure people won't have to cross the border to get it when they can do so here.
