How I Took Last Night's Dinner and Transformed It into Something New
I love a "what's in the fridge" challenge. My favorite cooking shows include at least one episode in which the chefs have to work with what they have. To be fair, they often have slightly more sophisticated ingredients than I do, and theirs aren't leftovers. Transforming last night's dinner into something new — by marrying it with other leftovers and a few new ingredients — is a lot of fun!
My "what's in the fridge" skills improved a lot when I got married. My husband likes to go to the store and buy things like a ten pound bag of potatoes when he only needs one half of one potato. He leaves bits and pieces of things — a half an onion, enough cooked pasta for a third of a meal, a lone slice of sausage — and I hate to waste. Thanks to him, I always look in the fridge to see what I can toss into the pot for dinner.
I like to use the traditional wedding rule when revamping last night's dinner: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something...blue. Well, maybe not blue, but a little red pepper always brightens a dish! As for the something borrowed, I'm blessed to have generous neighbors with a well stocked pantry. More than once, I've sent my children across the crab grass with a cup for milk, a request for just one egg or, most recently, a plea for plastic wrap. (Oops! I still owe them a roll of plastic wrap.) I can always make a decent meal without a trip to the store.
Quiche is a perfect solution. Recently, I made the sexist, yet delicious Engagement Chicken. Instead of using a roasting rack, I roast the chicken over potatoes, fennel, turnips, onions or any other root vegetable we're craving. This time, we had leftover baby potatoes, flavored with delicious chicken drippings. The next night, I had a bunch of friends over for bubbly and snacks. My friend Sidney (who achieved some notoriety in the comment section of the bubbly post) and I assembled various meats and cheeses, including a large hunk of Gruyere she brought. She offered to leave it for me, only half joking when she said, "As long as you'll make me a quiche!"
Challenge accepted! The next day, I whipped up a pâte brisée in the food processor and went to work. I had milk and eggs in the fridge, as well as a package of frozen spinach in the freezer. They all made it into the quiches, along with the roasted potatoes, a few leftover slices of prosciutto, and huge handfuls of grated Gruyere. Delicious! We ate one for dinner the next night and I delivered the other to Sidney, as promised.
This time, I folded the spare pastry over the top of the quiche. Last time, I let my sister make an impromptu small pie with the scraps. She is somewhat artistic.
Here are a few more re-imagined dishes we've enjoyed:
- Venison spaghetti sauce turned into flat bread pizza. The next night, I added sauteed peppers to the sauce, spread the mixture over a pizza crust and added cheese.
- Chicken into just about anything. One roasted chicken is later used to make stock to freeze and at least one more dish, usually chicken soup, a casserole, pasta or chicken salad.
- Roasted vegetables into cream soup. Heat some of the aforementioned stock, add the vegetables and a dash or two of whatever seasoning you like, and puree away! With carrots or winter squash, I also add coconut milk. With most other vegetables, I add regular milk or half and half if we want something creamy.
- Salsa and leftover shrimp into shrimp and grits. We do this often at the beach, staying at the table after dinner to peel the leftover shrimp. Shrimp and grits for breakfast is a real treat.
- Spaghetti sauce turned into Sloppy Joes. I usually just add more vegetables to the sauce until it's thick enough to qualify as a sandwich filling.
- Any leftovers whatsoever into breakfast (or breakfast for dinner). Just add egg!
- Any leftovers whatsoever turned into quesadillas. Just add the appropriate cheese and a few more greens.
What do you do with the bits and pieces of meals left in your fridge?

Cold numbers:
47 issues have been successfully integrated with 16 rejected and 9 delayed. That is 75% success.
Code freeze is now 4 weeks away, its crunch time!
David Monllaó has been working on improving our performance comparison and testing tools for the upcoming release, details of his plan are available in Moodle docs and he requests feedback on this proposal. Part of the work which David has already started includes building upon the work which the Sam Marshall contributed for generating large datasets for testing. Developers should be aware of the improved functionality in the tool_generator which can now generate large courses with large amounts of enrolments for testing.

The life of an equine intern
I am one of the equine interns working in the Centre for Equine Studies at the Animal Health Trust, Newmarket. My journey to get to this point has been long, at times hard, but overall pretty amazing. I was not one of those children who always wanted to be a vet and did not spend my childhood sticking plasters onto my toy animals (or real animals for that matter!) as I know some of my friends did. A horse rider from a very early age, I have grown up with horses and they became a passion for me but I did not consider the veterinary profession until much later. I was a keen student at school and loved science in particular. When it came time for me to consider further education and career options I knew that I wanted to take science forward but was not sure in what form. The defining moment came when I went to a small animal veterinary practice to do a week of work experience. I knew as soon as I left after my first day that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and so I decided to train to become a veterinary surgeon.
I was lucky enough to be offered a place to study veterinary medicine at Cambridge University and began my training in September 2010. It was an amazing 6 years and I learnt more than I ever thought possible. I loved being taught about all species but I knew that, due to my horsey background, I really wanted to be an equine vet. In my final year I spent two weeks seeing practice at the AHT and this inspired me to apply for the internship here. After completing a practical day and a formal interview I was offered a job, I could not believe how lucky I was to be given such an amazing opportunity!
I arrived at the Centre for Equine Studies on the 1 August 2016, nervous for my first day but ready for the work to start…….
I have now completed six months of my internship and I cannot believe how the time has flown. The transition from inexperienced vet student to qualified vet has been challenging but I feel very lucky to be developing my clinical skills and gaining experience under the watchful eye of the AHT's brilliant equine clinicians. As an intern I am responsible (along with my colleague) for the day to day health and well-being of our inpatients. The Animal Health Trust is a renowned orthopaedic referral centre and so the majority of patients we see are here for lameness investigations, however we also have clinicians who specialise in oncology, ophthalmology and neurology and so we see a wide variety of cases. A typical day for the interns will begin at about 7.30 am (earlier if we have a lot of in-patients) when we perform daily checks on all the horses, administer any medications needed and prepare for the day ahead. Hospital rounds (during which the interns meet with the clinicians and discuss the progress of each patient) are at 8.30am and following this the clinical work for the day begins. A typical day will involve admitting and working up new cases and continuing to work with any other patients that may be resident in the hospital. The clinical work will continue until approximately 5.30pm, after which the interns will administer any evening medications and check all patients. We then assess any images (for example x-rays) that have been acquired during the day and present our findings to the clinicians at imaging rounds (all the while hoping that some of our answers are right!).
The duty intern is required to check the patients again later on in the evening and take care of any other out of hours procedures that might be necessary. At the weekend the duty intern is also responsible for the care of all in-patients who will be remaining in the hospital. This involves checking all the horses twice daily, performing any bandage changes or other procedures that the patients might need and informing the duty clinician that all is well. Our other responsibilities include discharging any patients that are ready to go home and admitting any new horses who arrive.
In addition to my in-patient duties I assist with the lameness investigations. This usually begins with a detailed clinical examination of the horse in the stable, followed by the clinician examining the horse on the trot-up and lunged on both hard and soft surfaces. The majority of the horses we see will then also be ridden (unless they have not been broken or are deemed to be unsafe). Seeing the horses ridden is a critical part of the lameness examination as many 'poor performance' problems will only manifest when the horse is ridden. The lameness examination is usually followed by nerve blocks (using local anaesthetic to desensitise nerves supplying different areas of the leg) to determine the location of the pain.
When the pain has been localised, the areas are imaged using x-ray and ultrasound. One of my duties as an intern is to acquire the x-rays, and to make sure they are as good as they can be! We are also lucky enough to have advanced imaging modalities such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and scintigraphy available to us. We have both high-field and low field MRI scanners at the AHT; we use the low-field scanner most frequently as this allows us to image the lower limbs under a standing sedation (which poses a lower risk than a general anaesthetic) very effectively. It is the intern's job to prepare horses for MRI, which involves placing a catheter into the jugular vein to allow us to administer sedation easily and removing any shoes (as having thick metal shoes near a very powerful magnet is not a good idea!).
Scintigraphy, colloquially known as 'bone scan', is useful to scan large areas of the body, looking for 'hot spots' where bone is more active, which can be suggestive of injury. We inject a radioactive substance into the blood stream that is distributed throughout the body and binds to bone, more so if the bone is actively remodeling, as can occur after a bony injury and this shows up as a "hot spot". Our most common patients are racehorses, particularly those with suspected fractures and so we are often very busy in bone scan during the racing season! As an intern I am responsible for positioning the camera that allows us to take these images.
Here at the AHT we are lucky enough to have recently acquired a therapeutic laser that can be used as part of the treatment regime for a variety of injuries in horses. One of my duties as an intern is to perform the laser treatments, which involves using a hand piece to deliver the laser beam to the right area of the horse. The beam is a form of high energy light that is thought to speed the healing of damaged tissues within the body. In addition to the laser we also offer shockwave treatment here at the AHT and this is another job that the interns are responsible for. Shockwave therapy delivers pulses of high pressure mechanical energy to defined areas of the body and we use commonly on our equine patients to treat tendon injuries.
I have learnt a huge amount during my internship (and I have no doubt that I will continue to throughout the next 6 months!) and I feel I have gained valuable experience and skills. I still get huge satisfaction from completing a set of x-rays or finishing a bone scan and being responsible for the care of the in-patients is very rewarding; there is no better feeling than spending time with a patient, being part of their story (albeit briefly) and hearing good news from them a few months down the line. I am looking forward to the next six months at the AHT as I have no doubt I will enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed the previous six, however I am now starting to think more about the future and the next stage of my career. I am hoping to go into general practice following my internship; I am looking forward to the challenge of getting out on the road to help a greater range of the equine population! Following this I hope to come back and work in a referral hospital, I have a passion for equine orthopedic work and hope to pursue this further in the future. But no matter what I end up going on to do, I know I could not have had a better start to my career as an equine veterinary surgeon than I have here at the AHT.

In Transit
The weather in San Francisco always keeps you guessing. Somedays we get a break from the fog and wind and it may even feel like summer, but other days it could almost be winter! That's why I was so excited to see this great "Wear Now, Wear Later" series from J.Crew in my inbox this morning. Except in San Francisco, I could wear them one day after the other. What is the one piece of clothing you're relying on to take you from summer to fall this year?

It's funny, I always hear the same about the weather from anyone who lives in San Francisco. I'm actually planning a trip with Andre at the end of September because we're shooting an engagement for a couple who lives there. Everyone keeps telling me not to pack shorts because people will automatically know I'm a tourist, haha!

The "March madness" surrounding the National Collegiate Athletic Association men's basketball tournament reminds us that college sport, whether we like it or not, is commercial entertainment.
The NCAA recently signed a $1 billion contract with CBS for the rights to the men's basketball tournament through 1997. If a football team is selected for the Rose Bowl, it receives $6 million, which is shared with other league members. The most successful schools approach $20 million budgets for their sports programs.
This financial success has also brought wave after wave of scandal. Winning teams increase attendance, are televised often and are selected to participate in lucrative bowl games or tournaments. Losing teams, conversely, tend to have relatively poor attendance, are not televised and, thus, lose money.

I have many Box Brownies, I was going to say I have them coming out my ears, but writing to visuals, this could create the wrong picture.
In exploring Ipernity I came across this gallery www.ipernity.com/doc/313099/album/401713 ………….and being impressed with the images, and them totally being my kind of styles I made contact about respooling.
Part of my learning curve was the inevitable Google/YouTube search yeilding more than enough information relating the how too and the why do.
I intend to do this sometime and thought I would share these links for others who might wish to do the same in the future.
Thanks to www.ipernity.com/home/313099 for the inspiration and beautiful galleries.

The projected impacts of climate change are acutely relevant to a region that is lined on one side by a low-lying fresh water environment and surrounded on one or more sides by hurricane-prone coastal ocean waters. Sea level rise, which is already evident in some areas, will impact the region's ecosystems.
The region's approach to climate change might need to include two parallel approaches – reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change (recognizing that the region, by itself, cannot resolve that global problem) and adapting to the impacts of climate change.
The Partnership must work with the public, private, and civic sectors to better understand the likely impacts of climate change, including the likely extent of sea level rise impacts; consider how the region can contribute to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions; and develop a coordinated regional adaptation and resiliency plan designed to protect natural, built, and human communities. Strategies should build on the work of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, best practices and science, and focus on prudent steps to address the threats of inundation in the Southeast Florida region.

There are many ingredients that we use every day, but we don't know what they can be used about. We only know some of their uses, but it's important that we try to find out at least most of them because they can be of great help to us against numerous illnesses and conditions.
Sodium bicarbonate is an excellent cleaner and purifier of the organism from the inside but also from the outside and it can help you against many problems if you know how to use it correctly.
In this article, we are going to tell you about the ability sodium bicarbonate has on eliminating corporal fat. If you just try it, you'll notice that it is going to change your life radically.
The ability of sodium bicarbonate to eliminate fat

So some craaazy hippie was telling me that, apparently, corporations these days have much more power than the government to effect society.
I think we've all come across this notion at some point. There's no doubt in my mind that it is, at least in some respects, true. And, oh, how people are in an uproar.
But I think people miss a huge strategic notion in this debate. The notion revolves around where these company's power originates. They have power because they make so much money. They have so much money because the mass population decides, on a transaction by transaction basis, to give them their money (in exchange for goods and services).
Now people in the past have tried boycotts. And that's fine. But boycotts have an off-putting notion because the boycotters main goal is to get other people to not buy from the company. Which is fine.
My suggestion is that consumers simply accept the fact that government is broken, weak and largely un-fixable. Not that we should abandon it, but we should also do what we can in lieu of our government votes being so non-consequential. We should instead realize that every single dollar we spend is a vote in favor of that company's practices. Just as we have responsibility to know what the governments for whom we vote will do with the power we give them, so should we be aware of what the corporations will do with the power (through dollars) that we choose to give to them.
And just as those government parties whose policies are not liked wither and die, so will such corporations. Use your dollars to vote.

County defends studies by outside experts
The Washington County Commissioners have spent or authorized more than $500,000 for studies in the past 14 months, but county officials say outside expertise can save money in the long run.
Six studies finished in 1997 or still under way cost up to $685,000. That figure doesn't include individual engineering design projects farmed out to consultants.
County resident Leo Reisberg said "government by consultants" is ridiculous. Reisberg, of Knoxville, said taxpayers shouldn't have to pay both for county employees and consultants.

Northern Ireland business leaders in talks appeal
Northern Ireland business leaders have urged politicians to "once and for all" resolve the contentious issues of flags, parades and the past.
Party leaders will hold talks on the issues this week.
Talks over the Christmas and New Year period failed to reach all-party agreement.
CBI Northern Ireland, the Institute of Directors and the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry have called on the parties to reach a deal.
"There is a high expectation within the business community that this week's talks will resolve our outstanding issues once and for all," they said.
"In our view, it is critical to resolve the sensitive issues which continue to constitute the missing element in our efforts to build a successful, vibrant economy in Northern Ireland that will benefit the whole community.
"Northern Ireland must become a place where mutual respect, tolerance and acknowledgement of other points of view allow our people to thrive. We believe that broader perspectives and broader horizons lead to broader opportunities.
"The business community therefore wholeheartedly supports the search for solutions to the divisive issues that only serve to draw people back into narrow mindsets. A successful resolution to these talks will provide a significant boost to confidence across the community."
The previous talks were chaired by US diplomat Dr Richard Haass and his associate, Dr Meghan O'Sullivan.

We had a great trip to Havasupai this year! We stopped for our "last meal" of the week in Kingman Carl's Jr. It was there we found out that Aly is the only normal one.
After our hike through the night, we camped in the village for a few hours until the tourist office opened. I managed to sleep 0 hours that night. We checked in and then made our way to the campground. Above is a newer waterfall that was created from the flood 2 years ago. It is so amazing!
At the campground, I found two trees right next to the creek where I hung my hammock and slept for as long as I possibly could! That felt so good!
We played in the water everyday and every chance we could. It felt so good in the heat of the days. We even played some ultimate frisbee in the creek. I'm not sure how well it worked out, but it was still fun.
The monster I promised myself I would never climb down again. Well, I climbed down it. It was not nearly as bad the second time!
This is just before the hike out. I really was faking the smile because I was secretly in pain. It turns out during our adventure one of the days, my foot was overworked. I thought it was a dehydration cramp, but it never got better and continually got worse. My foot was swollen, but I thought it was probably just from the heat. Well the pain never quit and as we hiked the two miles from the campground to the village it put me into tears. At the village we inquired about a mule or a horse to take me out of the canyon. Well, there were no more going up the trail that day. My only other option was a helicopter ride. I'm not gonna lie, it was kinda exciting. My friends got me a seat on the helicopter and gave me a few things to make their packs lighter then went on their way. There was nobody to take pictures of me getting on the helicopter, so I took pictures of the view and the pilot's face. The ride was really an amazing experience. Being able to see the Grand Canyon from that view was AWESOME! Though I will admit, there were times I was way scared. There was a storm blowing in and thus it was extremely windy up at the top. Well this made the helicopter drop suddenly a few times. Oh man. Anyway, it was a good experience in the end.
I was able to get a picture of the trail I didn't get to hike up. At least I can say I've done it once before. And now I can say that I experienced it from a helicopter as well!
And this would be the awesome ride. It carried me and five men. One very large man too. I didn't get to go up with the ladies.

"The Devil Wears Prada," a chic, not-so-veiled look at the fashion magazine world and its empress, Anna Wintour, depicts a demanding, occasionally toxic editor named Miranda Priestly who cares deeply about the semiotics of a particular choice of belts.
The movie, based on a casually vicious roman à clef by a former assistant of Ms. Wintour's, is diverting enough. But is it accurate?
Having spent a few hours here and there watching Ms. Wintour do her job, I would say that although the devil resides in the details, the broad strokes resonate. When she came into a room to survey finished magazine pages or racks of clothing, the air seemed to ionize, with minions moving quickly after she exercised summary judgment.
However, the movie's other chief preoccupation — is Miranda Priestly née Anna Wintour really happy? — seems entirely beside the point. It is a question that seems to come up only when the successful executive happens to wear a dress.
Ms. Wintour has been the editor of Vogue for 18 years and is consulted by every major fashion house. Editorially, she has reinvigorated Vogue and created a platform sturdy enough to build an empire with Teen Vogue and Men's Vogue, and next fall, Vogue Living, reaching at least 2.3 million readers.Continue reading the main story
She does not put a finger in the wind to judge trends: she is the wind.
And her imperiousness, the precise thing that is parodied throughout the film, means that the movie is just one more spitball against a battleship. Most mortals would have responded to a wide-screen depiction of their excesses by dressing in sackcloth and hiding in the basement. Ms. Wintour donned Prada, natch, and went to a New York premiere.
IN that way, "The Devil Wears Prada" has become just one more lesson in Ms. Wintour's indomitability. A dead raccoon, a gift from antifur activists, dropped on her plate at the Four Seasons, is calmly tented with a napkin by Ms. Wintour before she orders coffee. A flung tofu pie is remarked upon for its benefits as a facial. And when she's satirized on the big screen, she makes sure she's in on the joke.
When the real Ms. Wintour wears Prada, it seems to be woven with Teflon.
"I'm sure she would rather have great press or no press," said S. I. Newhouse Jr., chairman of Condé Nast, which owns Vogue. "She rises above it. Anna has had great success in all aspects of her life and has tremendous inner strength and confidence."
A funny thing happened on the way to Ms. Wintour's cinematic impalement: she not only survives, but her place in the world is curiously ennobled. The movie, a more complex story than the book, tells a cautionary tale about the sacrifices that everyone — big and little, boss and worker — makes to get to or stay on top. But at its heart, the movie is paean to the transformative powers of fashion.
Anne Hathaway plays the schlubby assistant who succumbs to the allure of the fashion closet of the magazine, like Cinderella with a lot more slippers to choose from.
And in spite of what you see in the movies, Ms. Wintour has lots of friends. A brief call to Vogue about this column in the works brought a hail of phone calls from people with names like Harvey and Oscar. To a person, they say that she is nothing like the cartoon of an editor in the movie, that with Ms. Wintour, it is always about the work.
Part of the loyalty is reciprocal — Ms. Wintour sticks by her friends — but the other driver is her enormous power in the industry. Large, multinational concerns involved in fashion do not make a move without first consulting Ms. Wintour. In return, they can expect friendly treatment in the one magazine that brings high-fashion class to a heaving mass.
"She knows how to inspire and provoke the best in her staff," said David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker. "But she also does something that is very rare: she projects and makes effective use of her public persona. That's a high-wire act that takes talent and daring, as well as pure presence."
Ms. Wintour has managed to be the public face of Vogue, but has done so in a very private way. Bonnie Fuller, another successful magazine editor, reveals more about herself in just the title of her how-to book, "From Geek to Oh My Goddess: How to Get the Big Career and the Big Love Life and the Big Family — Even If You Have a Big Loser Complex Inside," than Ms. Wintour has revealed in her entire career. Ms. Wintour's idea of showing a little leg involves a miniskirt and nothing else.
"She is one of the greatest creative executives working," said Barry Diller, chief executive of IAC/InterActiveCorp. "She has absolutely no fear of performing her role. Many male executives have fears and insecurities. She has none."
Powerful women in the media always get inspected more thoroughly than their male counterparts. One of the movie's running jokes occurs when Miranda Priestly, Ms. Wintour's cinematic doppelganger, arrives at work and flings all manner of jillion-dollar handbags and coats on the desk of her hapless assistant. A boss who is always dumping on her underlings: imagine that. Katie Couric's backstage mien was the subject of breathless speculation, and Martha Stewart's executive approach was scrutinized long before her stock trades were.
Male media stars can ingest illegal drugs, make obscene phone calls or hire prostitutes without apparent consequence, but the failure of a female media figure to say please when ordering coffee can lead to wholesale indictment. In her everyday life, Ms. Wintour has a stable, dedicated team that has been with her for many years, never mind her bedside manner.
That is not to say that Ms. Wintour is anything approaching warm and cuddly — while she can be exceedingly droll and funny, she wears her impatience as others might wear a brooch. But that same characteristic in a male executive would seem not really worth mentioning. No wonder she has learned to wipe the pie off her face and keep moving.Continue reading the main story

Oh dear. BlackBerry's messaging and internet services have fallen over for a second time in two days, leaving users unable to access the web and communicate via BBM.
Worryingly, it appears to be a global problem that is affecting users as far afield as China and Argentina, not to mention thousands here in the UK. As if RIM didn't already have enough on its plate.
Think of everything that is good about BlackBerry and it's all about communication: email, messaging, chat... those are the pillars the RIM empire – jaded though it may be today – were built on.
So it must hurt badly that those are the precise services that have been completely offline for a large percentage of RIM's user base around the world.
After an initial wave of complaints surfaced yesterday as the problems first started, it appeared RIM had managed to patch things up. But today the issues continued.
"Some users in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, India, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina are experiencing messaging and browsing delays," a statement from RIM revealed.
"We are working to restore normal service as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused."
RIM still doesn't seem able to clear up exactly what the problem is, and it seems to be hitting users in different ways. Some are without BBM, others are saying web browsing is down – and it's also not everyone that's affected.
The RIM outage has even hit Mobot, or this scribe anyway. A plumber who has supposed to come round to fix a broken tap yesterday never got the callout message from the central office because the system they use is... you guessed it, BBM.
When a problem is capable of stopping even running water from working properly, you know you're in trouble.

It's great to win without even having to threaten to file suit. That's what The Freedom From Religion Foundation manages to do on a regular basis.
All it takes is a complaint and a little proof, and FFRF will contact an offending government entity and ask, firmly but politely, that the religious material be removed from public display.
That recently with respect to the Breathitt County Schools in Kentucky.
FFRF contacted the manager for the school system, Larry Hammond, on April 5 about the postings. FFRF Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott wrote to the school district saying that the display of the Ten Commandments throughout the schools violated the Establishment Clause, asking that the principals of the Breathitt County Schools be directed to remove the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments were displayed in almost every room and hallway of the schools – they were not just in one place, but all over the place.
The Supreme Court has already been there and done that with respect to the Ten Commandments in Kentucky public schools. In 1978 Kentucky passed law requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in every classroom in the state. Not surprisingly, someone sued, claiming violation of the Establishment Clause. When the case got to the United States Supreme Court, a long-winded written decision was deemed unnecessary. In a short per curiam opinion, the court basically said, "Take the religious documents down." End of discussion. (Justice Rheinquist dissented, but not very strongly.) It was clear that, no matter what the language of the statute claimed about the commandments forming the basis of all the laws of Western civilization, posting the Ten Commandments in Kentucky schools was motivated by a religious purpose and is unconstitutional.
And FFRF earns yet another upvote.
FFRF does not limit its objection to schools, It recently sent a letter to the Hattiesburg, Mississippi mayor, who sponsors an annual prayer breakfast. The city not only organizes the prayer breakfast, but sponsors a Christian speaker and charges $40 a head for the honor of witnessing government prayers. We'll stay tuned to see what happens.

Denver, Colorado Auto Accident Lawyer
If you are the victim of an auto accident, including cars, trucks and SUVs, please take one piece of advice: Try to consult with an auto accident lawyer for advice prior to speaking with an insurance company representative. Not even your own insurance company is on your side! Victims easily fall prey to insurance companies because they call acting concerned, but the real purpose is to use anything you say against you.
Here is another piece of advice: time is of the essence in gathering the evidence you need to win your case. Hire a Denver car accident lawyer sooner, rather than later.
"The insurance companies and their attorneys were trying to bully us. That was their job. Scott handled it all for us and got us what we needed."
Car accident lawyer investigation process:
When our firm works for victims of auto accidents (including cars, trucks and SUVs), we go above and beyond what many other car accident lawyers in Denver typically do, including:
- On-scene accident investigations.
- Witness interviews.
- Police interviews.
- Collection of video footage from nearby business surveillance cameras.
- Calls and letters to reduce your medical bills.
- Connecting you to other resources you may need including estate lawyers, disability lawyers and criminal attorneys.
- Working with the District Attorney to advocate for your case.
- Working to get your car totaled or repaired for free.
We do all of the above, while also making sure that you receive what you are owed, including payment for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical deductibles, and all other out-of-pocket expenses you have faced due to your accident.
What can you expect to pay for an auto accident lawyer?
For absolutely no charge, The O'Sullivan Law Firm, a seasoned team of Denver-based car accident lawyers, can talk with you or a loved one on the phone or in person about your auto accident and the issues you're facing. We can visit you in your home or the hospital to discuss the financial as well as emotional difficulties that have emerged as a result of your car accident. Because we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, you pay no legal fees unless we are successful in getting compensation for you. When we win, our fees are paid as an agreed-upon percentage of your award.
We empathize tremendously with people who suffer from car accident injuries and we know the toll that the financial and emotional issues take on their lives, which is why we treat each and every client with respect and dignity.
Meet Scott O'Sullivan: Car Accident Lawyer Denver, Colorado
A good friend recently called me from the hospital where her husband was being treated for catastrophic injuries that he suffered from an auto accident," says Scott. "While this is not a call that any car accident lawyer wants to receive, imagine my honor at being able to help her navigate Colorado's complex auto laws, insurance matters and even medical issues that she would have to face on her own as her husband healed."
If you need a Denver car accident lawyer for yourself or a loved one, please call The O'Sullivan Law Firm today at (303) 388-5304. We can help you win your case and, along the way, alleviate some of the financial and emotional stress that you're facing as a result of the accident.
Scott O'Sullivan has been advocating successfully for car accident victims since 1996. Because he has worked for big insurance companies, he has a perspective that is rare among attorneys today: he has an insider's knowledge of how insurance companies operate. Scott knows firsthand the tactics that insurance companies employ to pay the least amount possible (even to their own clients).

Adding photos the right wayCredit: Javrsmith
By now, you may have heard that adding photographs to your Infobarrel article is a good way to improve viewing statistics. The Internet is a multimedia platform and your articles should be too. The easiest way to do this is to add photos. Infobarrel supports this feature and most viewers expect photos to be displayed on content pages.
The pictures you use on Infobarrel articles should represent the topic. Don't add a photo of puppies on an article describing kittens. If people come to your article expecting kittens, give them kittens. This is as true of text content as it is for photos. Your words in the article should describe the topic and so should the images.
The title of your Infobarrel article photos is also important. Many times, our digital cameras use a generic filename for photographs, something like "IMG122.JPG". These devices do not know what the image subject is. You do. NEVER leave your filename as it was created by your camera. Instead, change the title to match either the topic of the article, the subject of the photo, or both.
Here is this concept in action. Which of these image filenames convey information to the viewer?
Obviously, the filenames with real words can convey information. The file with "flower" in the title is likely a flower image. Often, however, the filename is actually obscured from the viewer. The importance of the filename is for search engines.Credit: Google
The major search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc, do not obtain content information from the actual image in a file. They cannot rate your article's importance based on an image, yet. They can, however look for clues as to the value of your content. One such clue is the image filename. The "IMG829.JPG" filename conveys no information to views nor to a search engine. "Red-flower-displays.jpg", on the other hand, indicates to the search engine that the image pertains to flowers. As the search engine examines the article, keywords also indicate that the article pertains to flowers. Other elements, like backlinks, reinforce the flower theme for the article.
With your filename properly indicating the image subject, and your topic, your article gains a level of importance in search engine listings. Sometimes images uploaded into articles do not preserve the filename that you give your images. This is even true with Infobarrel. The filename is changed when stored on the server. Luckily, the media upload facility gives you a tile facility and a description box. Use these to enter the subject of the image. These are used in the media storage section of Infobarrel. In time, your supplied filename may be used so start giving your images meaningful names now.
After your images are stored with correct filenames and/or Infobarrel titles, you improve the information conveyed to search engines. You also give your article an automatic backlink. In addition to the article that you have published, search engines will examine your media files. This is where the power of the image can really help you. The search engines will notice your files with descriptive names. Later, when someone searches for red flower images, there is a good chance that your media page will be referenced. If a viewer sees your image, they will likely view your article next.
Another factor to consider is the page load time for your article. While there is not a lot you can do to improve this factor, you can improve the time that your article images take to load. You do this by optimizing the photo before you load it into your article media section. Make the photo as small as possible, but large enough to be helpful. The size of the photo is measured in pixels. A very small image might be 100 pixels across by 100 pixels high. An image twice as large requires twice as many pixels and twice as much storage space. More importantly, a file twice as large takes longer to download to a viewer. Obviously, the number of photos is key as well as 10 photos take 10 times as long to load. Use as many photos as you need, but only that many.
Often when photos are loaded into article content sites like Infobarrel, the publishing facility allows the author to adjust the image size just prior to finalizing the article. Unfortunately, this is likely a bad practice. Adjustments to image size made in this way actually have no effect on file size or page load time. Instead, the image is adjusted by the display mechanism. Image load times are not improved, and may actually be worsened. If an image of 300 by 300 pixels is to display as 100 by 100, the file size is still three times larger than it needs to be. Page load time will be three times as much as well.
Instead of using the publishing facility to adjust the image size, use an image manipulation tool prior to uploading the file onto Infobarrel. Such free tools as "paint.net" can be used to crop the image to remove extraneous material or to highlight relevant image areas. They can also be used to scale the image down to the required size. Importantly, image tools make the file size smaller as the image is reduced in size. This improves the resultant load time.
Another very helpful tool is an image optimizer such as Dynamic Drive's online application. This tool takes your image by either a file upload or an Internet URL if it is already live somewhere. By adjusting the sharpness of the image, the application can make images smaller. If you click the box to display all results, you can see the effects of the image adjustments.
Here is the same image as the top of this article but rendered at 70% clarity:Credit: Javrsmith
Here is the same image rendered at 10% clarity:Credit: Javrsmith
It is your responsibility as an author to determine which of the image versions you should use on your article. You do this by trying the optimizer and comparing the resulting images. Can you live with reduced clarity in order to save space which speeds page load time? It will depend on the image. Very complicated images with a lot of close up detail, will need a lot of clarity. Very large images need clarity as well. Smaller or less distinct images will not suffer as much.
The amount of space saved by image optimizing can be quite significant. The sample image used in this article is a 3200 pixel by 2400 pixel photograph taken by an ordinary 8 megapixel camera. The original file, called "IMG358.JPG", is 3.8 megabytes in size. This image might take 12 seconds to load on a web browser if the viewer has a fast Internet connection.
The image used at the top of the article was scaled down to 640 by 480 pixels. The file size dropped to 247 kilobytes, or 6.5% of the original image size. It loads in slightly less than 1 second.
The image used above at 70% clarity saves 68% off the top image's size. At 78.5 kilobytes, this image loads in half a second.
Finally, the image used above at 10% clarity is a reduction of 84% from the article image size, barely 1% of the original image size as created by the camera. Examining the image, we see that it is quite grainy when optimized this much. It would likely not be useable for an Infobarrel article, especially when shown at the large size that it is above.
Here is the same image scaled down by Infobarrel:Credit: Javrsmith
At this size, it is not all that bad. It is certainly recognizable as a country scene. You may not be able to identify the setting correctly but someone from the area in England might be able to. While the 10% size shown in the larger photo above might not be acceptable to you there, at this smaller size, it might be. As you can imagine, the amount of file space it saves is significant. Such savings really improve page load time so it may be well worth it to use files even at 10% clarity sometimes.
As an Infobarrel author, you should do what you can to improve your articles. Adding photos is important but helping these load quickly should be your goal as well. As you can see, you can have good images and fast load times if you use the tools that are freely available.


text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) WARSAW/LONDON, December 07 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has assigned the Polish City of Czestochowa a National Long-Term rating of 'AA(pol)'. The Outlook is Stable. The rating reflects Fitch's view that the city's healthy operating performance will be maintained over the medium term, supported by prudent financial management. The rating also reflects the city's moderate debt levels and low debt financing needs over the medium term, translating into sound debt service ratios. KEY RATING DRIVERS Fitch expects Czestochowa to continue its healthy operating performance in 2017-2019. In our base case scenario, we estimate an operating balance of about PLN90 million per year or about 8% of operating revenue in 2017-2019, which would cover projected debt servicing 1.8x (about PLN50 million annually including debt repayment and interest). This will be underpinned by the city's prudent budgetary and financial policy, including ongoing rationalisation of operating spending, as well as by tax revenue increase following economic expansion. Based on the city's preliminary data Fitch continues to expect a small budget deficit of 1% of total revenue (nominally about PLN15 million) for 2017. The budget deficit may widen to 2% in 2018-2019 but should still remain small, in comparison to the city's peers, despite the roll- out of investments that are co-financed from the 2014-2020 EU budget. Fitch projects that the city's investments could total PLN600 million in 2017-2019 (on average 15% of annual total expenditure), of which almost PLN160 million is expected for 2017. We expect that about 90% of the investments will be funded by the city's current balance and capital revenue (mainly EU grants), with only 10% by debt. Czestochowa has a moderate debt burden and lower appetite for new debt than its peers. Therefore over the medium term Fitch expects the city's debt-to-current revenue to remain stable at about 40%. For 2017, we forecast debt to total about PLN450 million. Debt-to-current balance is likely to remain at about six years, well below the city's final debt maturity of 15 years. A new long-term PLN250 million European Investment Bank loan to be drawn in 2017-2021 is likely to fully cover the city's debt needs arising from its investments that are co-financed from the 2014-2020 EU budget. Fitch expects Czestochowa's tax revenue growth to be supported by Poland's GDP growth, which the agency forecasts at 4.4% for 2017 and 3.6% for 2018. The city's local tax base is well-diversified, but is weaker than cities that are capitals of Polish regions, which may therefore constrain tax revenue growth in the medium term. GDP per capita in 2015 (latest available data) for the Czestochowski sub-region, which includes the city and surrounding villages, was 85.3% of the national average. We estimate the city's wealth indicators are on a par with the national average, as Czestochowa is the strongest city in the sub-region. The location of two special economic zones within the city is supportive of local economic development. Fitch assesses the regulatory regime for Polish local and regional governments (LRGs) as neutral to the rating. LRGs' activities and financial statements are closely monitored and reviewed by the central administration. LRGs' finances are public and LRGs are obliged to disclose their financial accounts on a timely basis and in detail. The main revenue sources such as income tax revenue, transfers and subsidies from the central government are centrally distributed according to a legally defined formula, which limits the central government's scope for discretion. RATING SENSITIVITIES Czestochowa's rating could be upgraded if the city strengthens its financial flexibility and operating performance, while maintaining sound debt metrics and its debt payback ratio below five years on a sustained basis. A downgrade could result from a weakening of the city's operating performance, accompanied by significant increase of debt, resulting in deterioration of the debt payback ratio towards 10 years on a sustained basis.

In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports.

text: Spotlight on food allergy Health care & safety Baby 0 All you need to know about baby food allergies Q. I'm about to start weaning my baby. Is there anything I can do to prevent my baby having an allergic reaction?A. Studies have shown that introducing solid foods before your baby is 4 months old can increase the risk of allergies. Babies' digestive systems can take up to six months to be able to process solid food, so wait until your little one is ready. Try solids if your baby is able to sit upright and hold her head, pick up food, put it in her mouth and swallow. Lindsey McManus of Allergy UK advises, 'Avoid giving your baby foods that are highly allergenic, such as citrus fruit, strawberries, tomatoes and peppers, before 6 months. You should also avoid gluten-based foods, fish, soft cheeses or eggs initially as they're most likely to cause food allergies.' Instead, 'Make purees of a single fruit or vegetable and introduce them one at a time, then repeat over two or three days, looking for any signs of adverse reactions to food,' says Kirsten Davies from nutritional advisor, The Food Remedy. 'Most foods should have been introduced by the age of 1,' says Lindsey. 'But if there is a family history of allergies, parents are sometimes advised to avoid exposing their child to peanuts until the age of 3.' If you're worried, ask your GP for advice. Q. How can I tell if she's allergic to something she's eating?A. 'Some babies may get a reaction, such as a rash or hives, some may have projectile vomiting or swelling of the lips, tongue and face,' says Lindsey. Kirsten says other signs are 'an itchy mouth, diarrhoea or difficulty breathing.' Q. What is my baby most likely to be allergic to?A. '80% of allergic reactions are down to eight foods,' says Kirsten. 'Peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, peacans), fish, shellfish, eggs (often the egg white part), cow's milk, soya and wheat.' Allergy to cow's milk is the most common food allergy in the UK. See thefoodremedy.co.uk for nutritional tips. By Ellie Walker-Arnott, Lizzie Cox 0 Comments Share Like this article? Showing of Uh-oh!

Do you really want to send Demeter a message saying you like their work?
Here I am again, waiting outside the same station for the same person to pick me up in the same car with the same knots in my stomach.
Everything is the same.
Everything is different.
Last time I wondered "Can it be as I imagined it? When we meet, will the chemistry be there? Will he, can he, want the real me, the way he wants the idea of me that he knows, and says he loves?
I was terrified.
I'm still terrified.
Last time was wonderful.
We met, we hugged, we stepped apart and looked at each other. And then, we kissed. A frisson, a knowledge that yes, there was something real here. An acknowledgement of our mutual nervousness as we drove back to meet the others. Hands reaching out, clasping, reassuring.
Later, alone, everyone else gone, came more kisses, and more, so much more.
An interlude in our lives. Something brief, something beautiful, something to remember, and treasure. Something we had promised ourselves if things were right. And they were.
We knew the risks, we thought. The hurt it could cause, if the wrong person found out. Where we would have to be careful, where we could be open. How we would feel, apart, after. We weighed them, knew what we had to do to overcome or live with them. We thought we had covered every eventuality.
We were wrong.
Nearly a year ago, and so much has changed.
The relationship we thought couldn't be threatened -- yours -- crumbled and gone. All the bitterness that went along with that, baggage now, that we have to face. Not all a result of us, but enough, dear gods, enough.
A shifting of priorities in your life, a different future in a different country with a different lover. A future that isn't with me, but that might have a place for me in it. Or it might not. A future that I might not even want a part in.
Last time we hoped for pleasure, not at all sure whether it was possible. This time, we fear pain, and we know it is not only possible, but almost inevitable, we only hope to come through the pain to a place of peace.
So much we have to say. Decisions we have to make. Things that can't be said, or done, or known without us being face to face. Knowing the love and the wanting are there. Knowing that even so, we may have to disregard it, put it to one side, and just be friends. Not knowing if we want to do that. Not knowing if we can.
So here I am again, everything the same, and everything different. Waiting for you, and scared.

Studio Eighty Seven presents FunAndAwkward, a line of greeting cards and other miscellany for those of us that don't take life too seriously.
But it wasn't always under the Studio Eighty Seven umbrella. It started as two words my best friend used to describe me in high school – always up for an adventure, but with little grace. Throughout high school and college I often chose these two words to describe myself. It wasn't until after college, in 2010 that I realized most of us are a little awkward and the world of greeting cards needed a little dose of awkwardness. Greeting cards are those things you buy when you can't come up with the words yourself, and there is just something profoundly unexpected when you slip a card out of an envelope and it blasts you with an awkward fun truth – instead of those words you can't come up with, Fun and Awkward hits you with the blunt truths you're afraid to say.
I hope you enjoy the cards as much as I do. They are meant to be light, fun, and not too serious… Just fun and a lot awkward.

So last night the Mr. and I went on a double-date.
I know.
On a school night.
Can you even believe it???
We went to Lexington with our friends, Cara and Todd, to see a special 25th Anniversary viewing of 2 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Scoff if you wish but it was lots of fun!!
First we went to Smashburger for supper and my, oh my, was it good!!! I got the Buffalo Chicken sandwich which was worth every Weight Watcher point. So good!! Then it was on to the theater where I spent even more points for the junior size popcorn…..with butter. Also good!
We walked into the theater not knowing what to expect. As we went up the dark little hall and turned the corner we found that there are lots more Trekkies in Lexington than we thought! The place was PACKED!!! The usher (yes, they even had to have an usher!) told us that if we split up then there were seats near the top but if we wanted to all sit together we had to go to the front row! No chance did I want to sit in the front row and since I'm a Southern Baptist, born and raised, I opted for the back row!
Cara and Todd led the way and up to the rafters we went. They slid past some folks and sat together but then all we saw were individual seats. What to do??? Just as were discussing whether we should go on down to the front and I'm standing there thinking, "if these people would just scooch, then we could sit together!" an older, white haired lady gets up and sits by a man who is apparently her husband!!! They were sitting with a seat between them, for heaven's sake!!
I was all set to say thank you to this lady when I hear her tell her husband that this is why you should get to the theater early! Can you believe that??? I mean, forgive us for having to actually work a job!!! If we were retired, then we too could have gotten there in plenty of time! And please, by all means, forgive me for making you have to sit by your husband!!! Geez Louise!
I was all set to sit there and stew a little but the lights went out and the show started. The beginning was a documentary about how they digitally remastered the show from the 80's and made it high def. Basically it was a commercial for buying the DVD which comes out today.
Then, on to the show!
The first episode was the one with the Traveler who takes the Enterprise billions of light-years from our galaxy. The hero in this episode turns out to be none other than young Wesley Crusher (played by Will Wheaton). Unfortunately, the only thing I could think of was this is Sheldon Cooper's arch-enemy……………WHEA-TON!! (For those of you who are neither Star Trek fans nor Big Bang Theory fans, this is a big ole waste of your reading time! Sorry 'bout that!)
After the first episode was another documentary about casting the show. It was very interesting. And, yes, I laughed right along with all the other geeks. Resistance was futile!
The second episode was the one where Data finds his brother, Lore. Again, Wesley Crusher was the one who figured out that Lore was evil and was trying to kill them all. At the end of this episode, the audience applauded and we sat through another "commercial" for the DVD.
All in all it was a good time. I was disappointed that no one wore a costume. Not even a Starfleet Academy uniform. I did see one man in a Spock t-shirt that said something that I think was dirty. I mean, I'm pretty naïve about such things. I totally embarrassed the Mr. in a t-shirt shop one day because I didn't understand that the shirt I kept reading REALLY loudly was actually bad. I didn't get it!
The only other bad thing was that Cara and Todd were on their best behavior because they didn't want to give me any "material" for today's post so I've got nothing too juicy to share.
Maybe next time I'll just make something up. 🙂

Ladybug, a 4-year-old, black-and-brown Yorkshire terrier, may have learned a few new tricks over the past several weeks.
CENTERVILLE — Ladybug, a 4-year-old, black-and-brown Yorkshire terrier, may have learned a few new tricks over the past several weeks.
The 3�-pound pup has been held ransom by prostitutes since Aug. 15, when the two women, who were visiting the son of the dog's owner at the family's Centerville home, allegedly took Ladybug in lieu of payment, according to the police and the victim.
The loss of Ladybug was devastating, said the dog's 84-year-old owner.
She recently had a stroke and Ladybug is an important part of her life, she said.
"She's like a service dog," the woman said, crying repeatedly over her pooch's predicament.
The son has not been charged with any crime related to the incident, the police said, and the Times is not naming him or the woman to protect her identity.
Inside her home Thursday, the woman said that she got Ladybug when the dog was eight weeks old and that she was the smartest dog she has ever owned. Although her 21-year-old cat is still with the woman, she has little other company, she said, adding it is difficult for her to get around.
The woman, who contacted the Times soon after the dog's abduction, said she was in bed when the two women came to her home late that night.
The woman believes the dog is being held off-Cape, she said.
In an interview soon after the dog was taken, the woman's son told the Times that he contacted the female escorts through Backpage.com, a website that offers a Craigslist-like menu of services, including escorts, full body rubs, strippers and strip clubs.
Although the man claimed he did not procure any services from the women, he said that he had used escorts previously.
The police say they believe the man handed the dog over in lieu of payment for the women's services.
Although he did not know the women's full names, the man said he was able to contact them and that they demanded $1,000 for the return of Ladybug. When he contacted them again later, they increased their demand to $2,500, he said.
The police so far have been unable to find the purloined puppy and say they have run out of leads to follow.
Since Craigslist eliminated its erotic services advertising section in the United States, Backpage has become the new leader in prostitution advertising, according to Advanced Interactive Media Group.
Backpage, which is owned by Village Voice Media, generated $1.6 million in September 2010 from online prostitution ads in 23 U.S. cities, according to the Florida-based research and consulting firm for the classified industry.
In August, attorneys general from 46 states sent a letter to Backpage officials calling on them to provide information on how the website will work to remove advertising for sex trafficking, especially ads that could involve minors.
A review of the website's Cape Cod version uncovered dozens of advertisements listed under the escorts section that referenced Cape towns.
Ladybug's owner is less interested with the details of online prostitution than she is in getting her furry companion back.
"I just most of the time just cry," she said.

Breaking with recent tradition, City Council members Monday selected Bill DeWitt as mayor and bypassed Odell (Del) Snavely, the vice mayor who was next in line for the city's top office.
DeWitt, 43, who owns a local woodworking business, said he did not seek the position of mayor but that he hoped the city would progress under his leadership.
For the past three years, the council in its annual reorganization has chosen the vice mayor as mayor. Snavely, a former mayor in 1980-81 and 1982-83, was the object of controversy last year when he was accused during a council meeting of selling sexual paraphernalia at his gift shop. The allegations were made by Robert Winter, an unsuccessful council candidate.
Snavely, a minister at the South Gate Church of Christ, denied the allegations and a subsequent investigation by the South Gate Police Department found no crime was committed. The councilman, who faces reelection next April, said he did not believe the charges had anything to do with the council's decision to bypass him for the mayor's job.

If you have been injured in a car accident through no fault of your own, then you are legally entitled to make a car injury UK claim, irrespective of the types of injury you have sustained.
The most common injuries sustained in car accidents are whiplash and cuts and bruises and both these injuries can be minor, moderate or severe. They can also be caused by not just the crash itself, but by an airbag deploying or flying debris in the car. Other common injuries include fractured or broken bones, concussion and psychological illnesses. For example, some people have panic attacks or suffer from anxiety in the aftermath of a car accident.
Your eligibility for making a claim
Your eligibility for making a claim depends on two key factors:
- When your accident happened
To be eligible for compensation, the accident in which you were injured must be no more than three years ago. After three years, most car injury UK claims become time-bared or statute barred in the United Kingdom. If you were a minor at the time, then you have three years from the date of your 18th birthday to bring your accident claim forward.
- How your accident happened
To be eligible for compensation, you must have diminished liability, meaning you cannot be 100 per cent responsible for the accident in which you were injured. If you believe you were at least partly responsible, then it is important to seek legal advice before you do anything else. Your car injury UK lawyer will inform you on your rights to strengthen your claim.
How will my compensation amount be determined?
Your lawyer will determine a fair and proportionate settlement demand for you. The compensation you are awarded for your injuries will be based on the extent of your injuries and how your injuries have and will affect your life. In addition to this, psychological trauma will also be taken into account, as will the acceleration of any pre-existing medical conditions. All of these will be ascertained through a medical examination with an expert.
You can also claim back any lost income and relevant out of pocket expenses. If you have had to have time off work unpaid or with sick pay, or you have lost any income support due to being unable to attend your meetings, you can claim back these damages.

Last week, Motley Fool Stock Advisor selection Embraer
Now, there's even more reason to be optimistic. On Friday, buried within a grander (sillier?) press release proclaiming massive 20-year gains for the regional jet industry, Embraer put forth its delivery projections for 2007 and 2008. And they look very good.
Management now says that the company will deliver at least 160 planes in 2007, and 195 in 2008. That would be up from a recently lowered total of 135 planes to be delivered during 2006, and it would represent at least 20% average annual growth over the next two years.
Revenue probably won't grow as quickly, however. As much as the accelerating delivery rate is excellent news, much of the jet-maker's good fortune can be traced to a well-timed exploitation of the executive jet market. Management says that between 15 and 20 of its 2008 deliveries are for the firm's Phenom 100 very light jets, which, at roughly $2.75 million each, are a fraction of the more than $30 million each spent by US Airways
But even without counting the Phenoms, Embraer could still deliver 175 jets in 2008. That would equate to 14% average annual growth over two years. With regional jets still accounting for more than 70% of the business, it's a good bet that, if management's projections are duly conservative, sales would also grow by 14% or better over the same period.
Meanwhile, earnings, which last year rose 50% faster than sales according to Capital IQ, could grow by 20% or more for the next two years. Yet the shares still trade for slightly more than 16 times earnings. Am I the only one who thinks that's cheaper than a buffet of Thanksgiving leftovers?
Of course, there's no way to know for sure exactly how well Embraer will do from now till the dawn of '09. But a massive increase in the backlog supports management's thesis for higher future deliveries. So long as free cash flow continues to flow, and the balance sheet remains as strong as it is now (with more than $1.2 billion in net cash on the books), Embraer's shares have plenty of room left to soar. Fasten your seatbelts, Fools.
