Car accidents, almost anywhere, happen frequently. This does not come as a surprise since we see different types of automobiles in various sizes everyday on the road. From passenger cars to SUVs, to buses and trucks, these vehicles are virtually everywhere.
In spite of taking caution, millions of people still experience car accidents. In fact, over 6 million car wrecks occur every year in America. Even minor car accidents are inevitable.
Since people can never tell if they will encounter a car accident on the road, it would help to be aware of the proper things to do after a crash. It does not hurt to be prepared for unexpected situations like these. People should be vigilant about this matter.
When you get involved in an accident, it is important to determine who the party at fault was. The other party may not be willing to admit that he is liable. He or she may turn the accident against you. Thus, it is necessary that you understand your legal rights and options.
Nonetheless, there is no need to worry. There are a lot of persons you can turn to when you come upon an automobile accident. Among these people are automobile accident lawyers. They won't be difficult to locate.
In California alone, you can find numerous car crash lawyers. With just a couple of clicks on the internet, you will see various law firms that offer services for car accidents. As simple as that, you can acquire the information you need.
All you have to do is key-in "California automobile accident lawyer". A number of law firms will appear, together with the names of lawyers, their location, contact numbers, and other useful information. These are free of charge. If you don't really need to hire an attorney and you just need to look up some information, you can also make these inquiries through the web.
Finding an automobile accident attorney doesn't have to be strenuous for you. You just need to know how to find the right car crash attorney. Below are guidelines in choosing an automobile accident attorney:
o Choose a lawyer who has fine experience of handling car accident cases
o Choose a lawyer who has expertise on car accident laws

How financial markets could be the solution to getting climate change under control
Although our survival depends on battling climate change, we have yet to come up with a global plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Although our survival depends on battling climate change, we have yet to come up with a global plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Climate change, if not brought under control, could pose a serious threat to humanity. Reducing its effect remains among the most important problems our society faces today.
Many people criticise the financial markets, and the consumerist culture they are accused of fostering, for making the release of harmful greenhouse gases worse. Indeed, there is no doubt that our modern market economy causes huge environmental damage. But markets could be the solution, too. In this article, I will explore how markets can be used to shore up the environment and prevent further damage.
Excessive pollution is caused by the divergence of interests between society and economic agents. When polluters are allowed to operate without paying a monetary price for the environmental damage they cause, their desire to maximise profit results in the generation of more pollution than is socially desirable.
In economic terminology, this means the private marginal cost of production is lower than the social marginal cost – the burden of pollution created by a single offender falls upon society, not upon the offender.
The solution is straightforward: force emitters to pay for emissions to ensure private costs match social costs. This can take two forms (or a combination of them): tradeable permits and emissions taxes.
Tradeable permits, often known as cap-and-trade systems, work roughly as follows: a regulatory authority determines an upper limit for emissions, grants a corresponding number of emission permits, distributes them to economic agents, and then facilitates trade in those permits between emitters. On the other hand, emissions taxes involve the regulators determining a suitable price per unit of emissions, and then charging each emitter according to their emissions.
Such market-based solutions are far more efficient in producing desired outcomes.
Take, for example, a national regulatory body which wishes to slash emissions from coal-fired electricity plants, and decides to implement a cap-and-trade system for carbon dioxide emissions. The regulator then grants a permit quota to each plant, ensuring that the sum total of permits issued does not exceed the targeted pollution level.
The cost of reducing emission varies, depending on technology and production methods. Companies are thus faced with a decision – cut their own emissions or obtain emission permits from other firms. As a result, the market system settles upon an equilibrium price, at which it costs the same for a firm to buy a permit as it does for it to cut pollution by the necessary amount.
This should, in theory, be far more economically efficient than simply instructing each firm to cut its emissions by a certain amount, without any knowledge of the company's capabilities.
Such market-based instruments (MBIs) have seen an uptick of interest from politicians. For instance, the largest cap-and trade system, the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EETS), was a result of the European Union's efforts to meet its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol adopted in 1997. Within the next few years, more than 15 per cent of global emissions are expected to be covered by permit trading schemes.
At least 100 signatories to the Paris Climate Accord are considering MBIs as part of their commitments to battle climate change. But there is significant debate among policymakers on the merits of taxes versus cap-and-trade systems.
There are also other solutions; for example, biobanks have existed since the 1970s and 1980s. Notably, the wetlands mitigation banking scheme, in the United States, grew out of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The regulation required developers to compensate for what they inflict upon nearby ecosystems. Under these provisions, the banks restore wetland habitats, obtain certificates from regulators, then sell them to developers in need of offsetting services. Similarly innovative models have been used in carbon offsetting elsewhere.
Current market-based instruments usually cover only large polluters. These are easy to regulate given that their emissions can be closely monitored. However, without the inclusion of other industries, it will be impossible to hugely reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. The coverage of existing systems should be expanded. The transport sector, for instance, could be brought into the cap-and-trade net if fuels were taxed based on their carbon content. Car manufacturers could be charged based on average emission figures for their entire fleet.
One contentious issue in the unilateral imposition of carbon prices, whether through cap-and-trade or a tax, is that the system disadvantages industries facing competition from countries without a carbon price.
This can result in a shift of carbon-intensive production to those countries, without any corresponding decrease in global emissions. Often, this will also mean transporting polluting factories to less developed countries with lax regulatory mechanisms. This issue has cropped up in recent climate negotiations, with many countries concerned about potential non-compliance by foreign companies.
Failure to deal with climate change poses a danger to our survival. Maybe some "economic thinker" can shine a light on the path forward.

last of the hot burritos
One of the guiding local voices in Americana music makes its final bow this weekend. The Hot Burrito Show, WRFL-FM's weekly serving of indie and roots driven country and more (sounds it has regularly dubbed "cosmic American music") airs for the final time on Sunday (Aug. 23) from noon to 2 p.m.
The program, which has run continually for the past 25 years, has traced an entire generation of new and indie Americana sounds, running from the rise of so-called "alt-country" in the '90s to the music's acceptance as a genre unto itself over the past decade.
Rob Franklin has been at the helm for the program's entire run, aided by several knowledgeable co-hosts. For many, Hot Burrito has become a Sunday brunch time roots music tradition. Imagining weekends without it is a sad prospect indeed, although WRFL said in a press release last weekend it plans to carry on with a new, reformatted Americana music program. The release also said halting the show was the decision of the show's hosts, not the station itself.
WRFL has been honoring Hot Burrito all week with each of the programs on its broadcast schedule playing one Americana track in tribute to the show.

Signaling a shake-up in the financial structure of the live entertainment business, Ticketmaster said yesterday that it did not expect to extend its long-term contract with Live Nation, the world's biggest concert promoter.
The split between two of the biggest powers in live entertainment comes amid a wide-ranging tussle over the division of money generated from ticket service charges and control of customer data. It also comes as the sale and resale of tickets has emerged as a coveted source of revenue in the music business as CD sales plunge.
Ticketmaster said in a memo to employees yesterday that "Live Nation has been a valued client for a very long time and we believe we've taken every reasonable step possible to facilitate a renewal, but they seem intent on a direction for their business that leaves us no viable way to work together."
The memo, sent by Ticketmaster's chairman, Terry Barnes, and its chief executive, Sean Moriarty, added that the end of the relationship would free Ticketmaster to devote "energy and resources in other areas of the live entertainment business." Live Nation declined to comment.
The apparent breakdown is unlikely to have any immediate impact on consumers. Ticketmaster's pact to sell tickets for Live Nation expires at the end of 2008; the company has a separate deal to sell tickets for Live Nation-owned House of Blues clubs through 2009.
But it could be a serious financial blow to Ticketmaster, a unit of IAC/InterActiveCorp. Sales from shows put on by Live Nation and House of Blues accounted for more than 15 percent of Tickemaster's roughly $1 billion in revenue last year, according to an executive briefed on the company's affairs.
It also carries enormous risks for Live Nation, which now faces the prospect of having to expand its own small internal ticketing operation or form a partnership with another outside ticketing agency. Live Nation took a step toward expanding its ticketing operation with the acquisition of Musictoday, a company that runs artist fan clubs and handles direct sales of tickets.
As part of the current deal, Live Nation can sell a portion of tickets to its events through its own Web site. But the company's chief executive, Michael Rapino, had been pressing for an arrangement that would, in effect, make livenation.com the principal outlet for ticket sales to the company's concerts.
Live Nation would also have more control over customers' e-mail addresses and other data from the transactions, potentially allowing the company to become a bigger force in the sale of merchandise and music.
There had been speculation in the music industry that IAC/InterActiveCorp, which is controlled by Barry Diller, would force Live Nation to extend its contract as a result of its acquisition in May of an interest in Front Line Management, one of the biggest talent representation companies, with a roster of live performers that includes the Eagles and Jimmy Buffett.
But Live Nation has made its own efforts to establish closer ties to artists. For instance, it has been negotiating for the rights to sell concert tickets and recordings in a broad pact with Madonna.

Did you have a good weekend? Here the weather has turned to rain, we just had a big thunderstorm here! And the sky just looks a dark grey, where has all the colour gone, I ask you....
But I found the answer - you can always crochet a rainbow!!!!
And that is exactly what I did!
My Rainbow Circles Wrap
You might remember that I am also currently working on the Scheepjes CAL 2015 to make the Flights of Fancy Shawl, I mentioned about it here in my earlier post. I am very busy with this project right now and I hope to show it to you as soon as it is finished (there are 75 motifs that need to be joined!)
I knew that I would enjoy working with the new Scheepjeswol Linen Soft yarn and I instantly fell in love with the wonderful large palette of colours. So I ordered quite a lot of different colours, more than I needed for the CAL.
And then inspiration struck and I had an idea for a shawl....
...and this is the result! Ta-dah!!!
|My Rainbow Circles Crochet Wrap - Ta-dah!!!
How I made my crochet Wrap
I started with a lime colour with a row of circles and then slowly added more colours, row after row.
Here I laid out my ideal colours.... (later I changed one of the colours)
But I continued to add more colours...
Here are some photos of the finished Wrap with all 12 rainbow colours! You can see that I decided to add some dangly tassels in the shape of more circles. In true funkycrochet manner, I varied the length of the dangles.
Wearing my Rainbow Circles Wrap with a wooden Shawl pin or alternatively, as a cosy scarf around my neck! It is very versatile!
I am very proud how this design has turned out, from the inspiration to the finished Wrap! And I love this yarn, it has a nice weight and drape to it, the stitches look well defined.
Also the pattern was fun, I enjoyed seeing it grow!
I can see lots of more possibilities, varying the colours, making a thinner or wider version, with more or less colours....
Well, I hope you enjoyed this post today and that it has brought a bit of (virtual) sunshine and a colourful rainbow into your life!
Have a great week! And if you want to leave me a comment, then please do! You know I love to hear from you all...

Key to Maori Men's Health is to realise that as Maori Men, we do not live in isolation and it is our whanau who remain the foundation of who we are and who we will grow to be. Whanau Ora is no doubt intimately related to TaneOra.
Over the next few months our Healthy lifestyle section will look at the 6 objectives of Whanau Ora and provide some practical ways you and your whanau can improve on these.
Key Objectives of whanau Ora include:
Whānau self-management
Full whānau participation in society
Economic security and wealth creation
Healthy whānau lifestyles
Te Ao Māori – confident whānau participation
Whānau cohesion.
A lot of the time we justify to ourselves that there isn't enough time to spend time with our whanau,
yet have enough time to have a few with the bros, go out on Friday and Saturday night, or go to R18 events.
Before you can spend more time with your whanau you need to make that time a prioirity!
Get along to events that you can do as a whanau.

While ROK's crash_if_different could be used here, my personal opinion is that the test code as written expresses the test better and does not require that I introduce a bunch of new variables to hold old values. In normal code, however, I use this very sparingly. Then again, I seldom experience this as a problem. Thinking back, most of the times I've been bitten by this is probably in case clauses, especially when adding code. Typically, when using canonical variables like Pid, Reason or Result without checking that the code isn't in a branch which already uses it.

[b]With his grip on the country weakening, Nepal's monarch taking desperate measures[/b]
A news analysis by Asian Tribune Editorial Board
When King Gyanendra staged an extremely efficient coup d etat on February 1, 2005, Nepal's population, tired of political and security uncertainties, cautiously hoped that the country could had finally found a strong pair of hands that could guide the country out of the mess it is in. Eight months later, King Gyanendra is one of the most unpopular figures in the country, and the institution of monarchy is crumbling down quickly.
King Gyanendra, who enjoyed the reputation of being a shrewd and extremely successful businessman with involvement in Nepal's premier hotel, cigarette, and motor trading businesses, had a golden opportunity to ensure the continuation of the institution of monarchy when he became King at the age of 56, following the bizarre killings of Nepal's Royal family on June 1, 2001.
Unlike many of his predecessors, King Gyanendra was crowned when the whole country was looking for someone to bring things back in order. Nepal's political parties had lost much of the people's faith with their constant internal wrangles and corruption scandals. Nepal's Maoist outfit had also lost its sympathizers with its cadres getting involved in unspeakable brutalities in the rural hinterlands.
King Gyanendra had two clear options.
The first was to stand the test of history by giving Nepal's Maoists what they wanted- constituent assembly elections and the drafting of a new constitution. By doing so, he could have exerted moral pressure on the Maoists to give up arms and join mainstream politics. In all likelihood, this gesture of largesse from the monarch would have earned him a lot of popularity and would have ensured a lengthy life to the institution of monarchy.

GARLAND (CBSDFW.COM) – A prom promise has been broken for seniors at South Garland High School. Their venue closed suddenly, and now, five weeks before the big night, students and staff are left without their money or a place to celebrate.
Park Lane Ranch Events Center was supposed to take care of everything for South Garland High. Details from the food, to the decorations, to the dance floor were all included a contract signed by the class booster club.
Despite the agreement, the venue isn't just closed for the evening agreed – it's closed for business.
High school students at South Garland, like most other American high schools, had a vision of what the prom should be like.
"Prom is supposed to be a celebration," senior Leyli Flores said frankly. "Besides graduation, I think prom is like the main thing we look forward to."
While disappointment should not be a part of the vocabulary, that's how class officers are feeling.
Teacher Lisa Davis saw everything change in a flash. "To have it all taken away in one sentence, seemed unreal."
Davis had the tough job of telling students their prom in now in limbo. "How do you tell them? How do you explain to them that adults are not always what they should be?"
School officials showed CBS 11 News the contract and the bank records. There was a 30-percent deposit, of $4,468.79, paid to Park Lane Ranch on September 25, 2013. School leaders said they toured the venue and talked with staff several times. The students chose Park Lane Ranch themselves, because the price was affordable and it included a lot of options.
Davis said everyone at the school thought things were set for the April 26 event… that is until March 19. It was that Wednesday when Davis got an email from a former manager at the venue, giving her a heads up the business had closed.
The news was devastating not only because prom is a high school ritual, but also because of how hard students at South Garland had worked. "It [money] all had to be fund-raised. These kids do not have money to pay for prom tickets," Davis explained. "We had to fund raise for everything. They've been raising money since their sophomore year."
According to school officials, 70-percent of the students who attend South Garland High School are economically disadvantaged. That meant saving up the money to pay for prom, and everything that goes with it, was a big undertaking for the senior class.
CBS 11 stopped by Park Lane Ranch on March 20. A contractor was there clearing out the event space, and so was the owner. A reporter said, "Their prom is five weeks from now and nobody had said a word to them that this place was even closing."
Park Lane owner Jeff Swope responded, "We're embarrassed about several of those things, because we didn't know the people. We didn't know how to find them."
Swope said he recently sold the space, but assured CBS 11 he would return South Garland's deposit by the end of March. "Our name's on the door, so we'll pay it back," he said.
With just weeks to go, South Garland is now left searching a venue to host their celebration.
"It's not something you can plan one-week ahead," senior Allen Capasgordo said frustrated. "You'll have to plan so many months, and years ahead of time."
Teachers have been on the phones, trying to find another place with availability at the last minute, but Davis said it's proving to be very difficult to find the right combination of space and location.
South Garland High School will host a craft sale on Saturday, March 22; from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. South Garland High School is located at 600 Colonel Drive, Garland, Texas 75043.
Proceeds from the event will be used for prom.

As radio stations battle an ever-crowded media space to remain relevant to an increasingly 'connected' media consumer, could an answer to their predicament lie in the return to an early concept of radio entertainment now considered 'radical'?
It's called 'freeform radio', and it's a style of radio that recognises the host* as a music authority and therefore qualified to dictate the music content of the show. Importantly the music played is interlaced with speech that, together, provides the show with a narrative. This is critical, because without a narrative the show is simply a random collection of songs. The added advantage of a narrative is that it holds the attention of the listener, as any good story (and radio show) should.
Freeform radio was the foundation of today's commercial radio. It started in the U.S. and parts of Europe in the late 1950s and early 60s, and typically featured radio DJs (as they were called then) playing singles and album tracks of their choice, and adopting the role of music authority. Importantly, they helped expand the music experience of their audiences.
Unfortunately many of these DJ's became vulnerable to the approaches of record companies and their packed wallets. The resultant payola scandal in the U.S. devastated freeform radio in that country. Programming measures were put into place to wrest control of the music from the DJs. However, freeform radio did continue at certain stations, and their key hosts became 'legends' of the medium, mainly because they 'bucked the system'. There's a film out at the moment (but on limited release), titled 'I Am What I Play', which salutes four of these legends and the importance of freeform radio.
The very idea of freeform radio is anathema to today's radio industry, packed to the rafters as it is with hyper-formatted music stations, where presenters stray from the music scheduling at the risk of immediate suspension. However, this strict programming is now running the risk of becoming redundant. The core content – music – is now available and easily accessible elsewhere beyond competing terrestrial radio stations – think online radio stations, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, iPods and MP3 players, smartphones, etc. These can all provide expanded selections of music, mostly without advertising.
It's a foolish programme director that thinks listeners still believe traditional radio presenters choose the music they play. Listeners are now shopping around, looking to have an experience with the music they consume, and the best way to do that is for them to believe there is a purpose behind every piece of music a radio host plays on his or her show.
I believe there's an opportunity for the reintroduction of freeform radio. The question though is, do we have the radio talent with the discipline and authority to champion it?
*Although terms are often used interchangeably, generally a 'host' is normally someone who 'anchors' a 'show' (which has a defined structure); a 'presenter' is someone who provides links and content between scheduled songs on-air; and the term DJ is now more commonly used to refer to someone who plays (recorded) music in clubs.

Grimshaw Origins and History
Welcome to the website on the English family of Grimshaw!
A Grimshaw coat of arms from about 1567 is shown above. A description is provided further down on this webpage.
Please Note! The Grimshaw Origins website has been migrated from FrontPage to WordPress in 2015 and 2016. Because of the inherent challenges with FrontPage, this migration has been a long and laborious process. And it's not over yet. Many webpages still have issues that will have to be resolved over the coming months (and years!) Please be patient, as there are more than 370 webpages covering various aspects of the "Grimshaw story" on this website.
The Grimshaw surname originated in Lancashire in the northern part of England, apparently around 1000 A.D. There appear to be few records of Grimshaw family lines for the first 200 to 250 years.
However, it is highly probable that the family's roots are connected to the town of Grimsargh, which is a short distance northeast of Preston. The earliest recorded Grimshaw was Gilbert, father of William Grimshaw, who held the Manor of Grimsargh in thenage in 1242.
The Grimshaw surname originated near Preston which is in northern England. Preston's location (indicated by orange circle) is shown in relation to Liverpool, Manchester, Blackburn and Leeds, all of which were important in Grimshaw family history. Map source: Bing Maps.

Broncos' Shane Ray sees Ware's retirement as bittersweet
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — DeMarcus Ware's retirement is both a blessing and a burden for Denver Broncos third-year pass-rusher Shane Ray.
"Not a lot of guys get to come into the league and have guys like that that are also willing to teach like DeMarcus," Ray said Wednesday. "It's very bittersweet for me. His presence in the locker room as a mentor and as a big brother is hard to replace. At the same time, this is how the business goes. This is how life goes. It's time for me to step up and handle my business and take everything that he taught me and apply it to the field."
Leaving offers on the table from the Broncos, Cowboys and Rams, Ware retired over the winter after a trying 12th season in which he missed six games and recorded a career-low four sacks. He missed five games with a broken forearm and the season finale following back surgery.
Ware finished his 12-year career with 138 1-2 sacks and a sack rate of .78 per game, second only to Hall of Famer Reggie White (.85) among pass rushers with 100 sacks or more.
Ware visited his former teammates this week and the team presented him with a framed No. 94 jersey .
"Demarcus' leadership goes such a long way. Everything that he's taught me the past couple years, all of the opportunities I had to learn stuff from him and see things from a first-ballot Hall of Famer's perspective is a huge blessing," Ray said.
Ray got a taste of what's to come this fall when he started eight games in his second NFL season, collecting 8 1-2 sacks and 48 tackles.
"I just viewed it as me and DeMarcus were splitting reps," Ray said. "I didn't really think of it as I was a backup or he was a starter. I viewed it as, whatever reps I get in this game, these reps should be at this level. They should be at this high level of play regardless of how many plays I'm in. ... You knew that I was on the field. Now, it's just an every-down thing."
Ray said he'd like to double his production in 2017.
"Bigger goals for me," he said. "I keep pressing the goals. When you sit in a room with two All-Pros and two potential Hall of Famers (in Ware and Von Miller), it's hard to say that mentality and that idea doesn't rub off on you. When I'm in there with Von and I see what he's able to do and know what I'm capable of doing, I want to be an All-Pro player. That's something that I aspire to every day."
Ray recounts his junior year at Missouri when he declared he could average one sack a game.
"Nobody can honestly stop me from getting one sack a game. I look at that in the NFL and honestly I feel the same way," Ray said. "Nobody can block me for a whole game."
WELCOME JAMAAL: A Kansas City native, Ray said he knows just how Chiefs fans are feeling now that running back Jamaal Charles has signed a one-year deal with Denver .
"I know they're sick back at home," he said. "They're sick. I can't tell you how many calls I've gotten, 'No man. Not Jamaal Charles, man.' For us, it's a great addition. Second to Priest Holmes, Jamaal Charles is probably one of the greatest running backs in Chiefs history. To acquire him and his play-making ability just adds a completely different dynamic to our offense."
Ray, who gave up a long TD to Charles his rookie season, said he's "excited for our offense and what they can do now because as a defense, we feel like if you can score 14 points, we're going to win the game. This offense is looking like it's going to do way more than that, and I can't wait. As a pass rusher, they're going to have to throw the ball if we're playing up."
Notes: The Broncos re-signed DE Billy Winn and waived DE Bobby Richardson.

In a SHOCKING series of angry tweets, Monica Foster real name Alexandra Mayers committed a huge no-no and named names of children that are involved with porn professionals and gossip bloggers. This is a creature that pretends to care about the well being of children but this proves that this is not the case. This evil woman made threats to contact said children at a later date, when they are older. How is this not stalking?
Once again, alone on a holiday, and Valentine's Day of all holidays, while her ex-beau Matthew cuddles with his wife, Ms. Mayers completely LOST IT tonight and went full on Elliot Roger. We are not concerned that she will kill anyone and then turn the gun on herself as Mr. Roger did as she is too cowardly and too vain to do anything to harm her fading looks, even as she is fading fast and will no longer appear on camera due to rapid aging and weight gain.
Ms. Mayers also sprinkled in her usual bigotry and used the "N-Word" in the process proving that she hates black people and hates the fact that she's black herself. We can't and don't use that word here and she uses it every day. That makes her the racist and it makes her sites the hate sites.
Ms. Mayers has always had a problem with Donny Long but In a SHOCKING twist, she has now turned a 180 on Sean Tompkins, who she was just begging to sleep with during the AVN/AEE in Las Vegas. She went off on the porn gossip blogger and threats were made @ Tompkins' kids. Even though it is no secret that we are not fans of his, KIDS ARE OFF LIMITS. But Mayers is such a mentally sick scumbag with nothing to lose that she will stalk down Tompkins kids if it's the last thing she ever does. She is a predator and this all needs to go to Judge Rob Bare ahead of the court date. It is unclear why the change of heart but like Elliot Roger, she can't handle rejection and Tompkins has rejected her advances for weeks.
Speaking of the court date on March 9, Ms. Mayers is less than one month from facing off with the judge and she spoke about the date during her rant. She laughed it off and made light of the situation, proving that she does not understand the enormity of the situation that she is facing.
We simply do not understand why she keeps playing the victim when she was born to two professional parents and given all the advantages. This is also like Elliot Roger. These sick animals play the victim card when they had all the advantages in life. Being black stopped her from doing NOTHING. It's all in her head and she has ruined her own life. Her own parents weren't stopped by being black and they grew up in a very different time. It is much easier now for blacks and SHE BLEW IT! She took the shortcut and tried whoring herself out and was rejected and now she is hell bent on ruining everyone that came into her path since 2008.
Also posted in her rant was the name of Sean Tompkins ex-wife and her location and profession. Ms. Mayers suggested that the former Mrs. Tompkins should be defending her against Tompkins harassment but why? Just because they're both black? There are so many good black people out there that think Mayers is a piece of shit. A piece of shit is a piece of shit is a piece of shit no matter what color and sane people recognize this. Why would a woman take Mayers' side when Mayers is threatening that woman's children?
Also, Mayers showed her jealousy for Donny's Asian wife once again. Now well into her 20's, Mrs. Long will look youthful until she is 50, it's just that way with Asian women and Mayers jealousy is palpable as she has hit the wall. Claims that Mrs. Long "Looks 12" are incorrect and just show Mayers' obsession with underage people. This is a sickness that Mayers must get help with.
It is obvious that she was abusing substances before and maybe during the rant and then she wonders why she has hit the wall hard this year. We imagine her taking drags off Marlboros and drinking hard liquor during these sessions but maybe she was abusing even harder drugs. This does not bode well for her "90 day fitness challenge" as the last thing she should be doing is abusing drugs and alcohol if she's trying to get healthy.
In closing, we would like to tell parents everywhere to say no to your kids once in awhile because you see how a badly spoiled person like Alexandra Mayers or Elliot Roger acts when they don't get their way. We aren't going to encourage Ms. Mayers to kill herself because she will just play the victim again and call us racists but it may be time for you to go off in a different direction now, Ms. Mayers. Let's get real here. You aren't scaring anyone, you aren't going to kill yourself, you aren't going to do anything to anyone and you keep getting sued and losing the more you libel and threaten and slander people. Give it up, old girl. You had a lot of heart, a lot of fight in you and we salute you for that but you can't win. Give up now.

Like many millennial, growing up and moving out on my own meant confronting the fact that my parents hadn't taught me most of what I needed to know to be a functional adult. Which, of course, is why 'adulting' became such a thing for many of us. I don't think I'll ever forget the day that I confronted my mother about why the hell she expected me to be able to keep an apartment clean when she never taught me to clean anything.
Apparently, she expected me to graduate college and magically get a job that paid enough to higher a cleaning service.
Even before the Recession this was ridiculous.
Anyway, now that my household is in a stable living situation and the worst of health problems are under control, I figured it was time to get a handle on some adulting stuff that had been on my mind for a while. Like having a proper first aid kit for when the kids bang themselves up or the right tools for various household projects (and learning how to use them).
So I put together, using a variety of sources, a few lists. And I'm sharing them here for other folks who aren't quite sure what they need for a basic kitchen set up or what a good cleaning schedule is.
Progress Counts: Adulting Version
While there are places you can buy a fully stocked first aid kit or emergency preparedness kit, I'm not saying anyone should do that. And if, like me, keeping the dishes clean is a constant challenge, you shouldn't immediately try to clean the whole place in schedule every time.
I call it Ideal cleaning schedule for a reason.
Personally, each month that we have the money, I try to grab three more things off of the kit checklists. (I just realized I forgot to put a clean copy together for this post, so if you download the list you'll see what I've got checked off and what I'm still waiting on.)
As far as cleaning, right now I'm working on getting a regular routine for daily and weekly cleaning stuff. Once I have that down, I'll start integrating monthly and yearly stuffage.
And of course, if you are in a survival situation, maybe don't open the lists at all. Maybe, as I did, file them and forget them for a while. They'll be there when you are in a better place.

- HOW LONG TO GO FOR Honestly, do you want to have an all day birthday party? Here is where you do get to pull in the reins and set a time limit for the awesome event! How long do you want the party to go on? Toddler parties are easy to put a time limited on. They tire quickly for the most part and other parents may have their child on a strict routine. So generally, an hour to an hour in a half is ample time for a toddler's birthday. Kindergarten to 3rd grade can vary a bit more depending on the child personally. However, no more than 3 hours is needed to celebrate in a smashing style.
Again, here is a time to know your limitations and stick to them. Older children are going to think they want their party to go on all day and night. This is where you have the option of saying "Too bad, so sad" or again you can make a low bid offer and allow them to think they are getting more then you desired. Older kids love thinking they are one-step ahead of you. When they are adults, you can pass on the secret to them when they are planning their child's birthday party.
True Note: Probably 98% of the parties I attend are 2hrs duration.

Aurora Imaging Technology signs China distribution agreement
Singapore: US-based Aurora Imaging Technology has signed an exclusive China distribution agreement with SUMEC. SUMEC is a member of the China National Machinery Industry Corporation (SINOMACH). Its core business includes R&D, manufacturing and export of machinery and electric products including power tools, power machinery, domestic trading, international tendering and the import of technological equipment and production materials.
This agreement gives both companies a platform to expand in China's rapidly rising diagnostic and screening markets for breast MRI.
"This agreement provides us with access to the vital China market, where the need for advanced breast imaging technologies is now critical. The incidence of breast cancer in parts of Asia is increasing rapidly and is catching up with Western rates. In addition, Asian women have a high propensity for dense breast tissue, which renders it very difficult to image using traditional breast imaging modalities. The Aurora Dedicated Breast MRI System offers an advantage over traditional breast imaging techniques, such as mammography for imaging dense breast tissue, making the need for access to this technology vital for Asian women," said Ms Olivia Ho Cheng, president and CEO of Aurora Imaging Technology.
"Together with SUMEC, we can offer our advanced breast imaging technology throughout China. We hope in doing so we can improve survival outcomes for millions of women," said Cheng.
Mr Benli Yu, president of SUMEC, added, "We are excited to bring Aurora's innovative, dedicated breast MRI technology to the physicians and women of China who will directly benefit from this life-saving technology. This partnership with Aurora, positions SUMEC for expansion into the growing diagnostic imaging market."

Markers intersection
pocketbboy wrote at 2012-01-10 15:17:
There is a chance to determine where markers are intersecting and change the color of the markers or highlight that area?
objo wrote at 2012-01-10 17:29:
sorry, I don't understand, can you explain more? The markers in the LineSeries are points and are not intersecting.
pocketbboy wrote at 2012-01-10 19:06:
First example from lineseries.. When zoom out close enough, markers are getting closer and then are covering one each other until it's becomes like a single marker..I need to get a notify or to highlight the area where in the plot the data is to crowded or two or more markers are tangent..
objo wrote at 2012-01-27 08:02:
Another approach could be to use a ScatterSeries for the markers. See the ScatterSeries.BinSize if you want to render less markers when zoomed far out.
The PlotModel.Updated event can be used if you need a notification after the zoom level has been changed.

Researchers ID New Resistance Genes for SCN
Plants with resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN) shouldn't allow more than 10% of the nematode population to survive—but that's not the case. The most common form of SCN resistance, PI 88788, is failing at alarming rates.
Fortunately, Brian Diers, plant breeder at the University of Illinois, found two new resistance genes from wild soybean varieties. He's created a four-gene stack to control the pest.
Missouri researchers are also testing the gene combo in greenhouse trials.
"When we took the four-gene stack and rotated that with the Peking source of resistance, we were able to slow down SCN reproduction of populations adapted to PI 88788 over generations," adds Melissa Mitchum, nematologist in the division of plant sciences at the University of Missouri.
Next steps for this four-gene discovery is to get it into today's genetics. It won't be difficult for commercial breeding companies to integrate the stack into their lineup because the base germplasm is PI 88788—the oldest and most common form of SCN resistance on the market today, according to researchers.
Don't worry about yield drag, Diers says—they've found it doesn't exist. In fact, there's often a yield advantage in fields with high SCN populations.
Helm Agro Adds Soybean Herbicide
Helm Agro announced it's adding Zone Elite to its Zone lineup. The company says it is tank-mix compatible with fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides and adjuvants.
It's packaged in 2x2.5-gal. cases and contains group 14 and 15 herbicides. The pre-emergent herbicide has broad-spectrum weed control with an application window of 30-plus days preplant up to three days after planting.
Zone Elite is effective on more than 45 weed species, including grasses and small-seeded broadleaves. In 2019, it will be available to farmers in the Midwest, Northeast and mid-South.
Visit www.helmagro.com for more information.
Plant Photosynthesis Gets a Boost
Plants are cutting themselves short on yield—and have been for a number of years. Photorespiration robs plants of up to 40% of their yield potential, and researchers are out to regain productivity.
"We could feed up to 200 million additional people with the calories lost to photorespiration in the Midwestern U.S. each year," says Donald Ort, Robert Emerson professor of plant and crop sciences at Illinois' Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology. "Reclaiming even a portion of these calories across the world would go a long way to meeting the 21st century's rapidly expanding food demands."
Photosynthesis relies on an enzyme called rubisco to turn carbon dioxide and water into sugar that fuels plants, according to Science Daily. However, rubisco doesn't distinguish the difference between oxygen and carbon dioxide and "grabs" oxygen 20% of the time.
When oxygen is gathered instead of carbon dioxide, it is plant-toxic and must be disposed. Through photorespiration the plant expends a large amount of energy to get rid of that oxygen.
Scientists are altering the route for photorespiration and finding the easier route is boosting plant growth by 40% and creating 50% larger stems in two years of replicated field studies.
It will likely be more than a decade before this discovery is seen in commercial crops.
China Approves Five GM Crops
For the first time in 18 months, China approved the following products for import:
- Enlist E3 soybeans, jointly developed by Dow Agrosciences and MS Technologies.
- Dow's DP4114, Qrome, corn.
- SYHT0H2 soybeans developed by Bayer CropScience and Syngenta but now owned by BASF.
- BASF's RF3 canola.
- Bayer's glyphosate-tolerant MON 88302 canola.
After several years of waiting, China's green light gives U.S. farmers access to another weed management tool. Enlist E3 soybeans include tolerances to 2,4-D choline, glyphosate and glufosinate. Herbicide options for Enlist E3 soybeans include Enlist Duo, a mix of glyphosate and 2,4-D choline, and Enlist One, a straight-goods 2,4-D choline option that can be tank mixed with approved herbicides.
"We are aware the China Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs published on their website the intent to issue safety certificates for the DP 4114 trait and Enlist E3 soybean trait," said Corteva, the agricultural division of DowDupont, in a statement provided to AgWeb. "We are pleased with this and look forward to receiving the official safety certificates."
15% of Corn Growers Report Rootworm Issues
Research conducted by Monsanto in 2016 and 2017 shows corn rootworm (CRW) hot spot areas are of particular concern and most prominent in northwest Illinois, northern Iowa, northeast Nebraska and northeast Colorado. A Farm Journal Pulse survey conducted in November 2018 supports that finding.
Researchers say these areas of the country are routinely affected by CRW infestations because they have a long history of continuous corn planting to accommodate livestock feeding or high-production, irrigated fields.
Annually, CRW threatens an estimated 50 million corn acres in the U.S., costing producers $200 million each year in preventive measures and $800 million in yield loss. Research shows every root node nibbled by larvae results in a yield loss of about 15%. In addition, weakened roots can impede harvesting, further reducing grain yield by 15% to 34%, Monsanto reports.
It's more important than ever to use best management practices, per the National Corn Growers Association Take Initiative program:
- Plant the required refuge. Take into account the product and your geography: the refuge in corn-growing states is 5% in-bag or a 20% structured refuge, and 20% in-bag or a 50% structured refuge in cotton-growing states.
- Use insect resistance management strategies. Rotate crops, use pyramided traits, rotate traits, and rotate and use multiple modes of action for insecticide seed treatments, soil-applied insecticides and foliar-applied insecticides.
- Scout to see if control methods are working and whether there are escapes or possible resistance. Take additional action to control pests when necessary.

Have you ever dared to journey faraway into an unknown land? Do you dream of a place where you can roam a wild untamed forest and swim a beautiful aqua oasis, similar yet very real, like the one Max's imagination drew up in the storybook, "Where The Wild Things Are"? If so, you must be willing to meet incredible wild things and strangely beautiful creatures with courage like he did. Once you muster up the adventurous spirit, consider venturing deep into the jungles of Central America's Belize, where "The Wild" will change your imagination into a serene reality. Lose yourself within the jumbled up lush twins of trees, swing like a monkey, climb like a panther, squawk like a toucan and explore your heart out like a kid.
Then pack your bags and jump into the original Banana Republic (this is definitely not the common named chain-store version), but the REAL thing! I'm referring to the ancient Land of the Maya, whose historic civilization borders Mexico and surrounding Guatemala, Honduras and Belize. A sacred and fertile place whose name comes from the ancient Maya word "Beliz", which translates to "Muddy Water". It is a land so vastly intertwined with diverse cultural history, from its ancient Mayan ancestry to its acquisition by the British Empire, and its current day uniquely ethnic mix of Kriols (the original African inhabitants), the Garinagu (Garifuna or Black Caribs), the Mestizos (Spanish Yucantan settlers), and the Mennonites (who have been farming the land since the 1800's). Apart from its human ancestry roots, there are the naturally seeded ones too, that have grown wild within the depths of its jungles, pristine rain forests, swampy coastal plains, lowland forests, mysterious caves and geological formations, highland plateaus and the Maya Mountains. If this isn't enough paradise candy to explore for any botanist, nature enthusiast or adventurer, one also can fish its spectacular atolls and dive into the Great Barrier Reef within its Caribbean waters off the coast, which are lined with pristine beaches, and over 400 islets and remote cayes. Not to mention, there's even Jacques Cousteau's mesmerizing Blue Hole where you can experience a surreal underwater wonderland!
Belize invites any child or adult to come explore in its abundantly diverse playground, which brings us to where all the real wild things live! There are over 500 species of heavenly flora such as orchids (the Black Orchid is their national flower), abundant storybook trees, fantastic winged creatures (including Fruit Loop Sam, aka The Keel Billed Toucan which is the national bird of Belize), weirdly unusual Baird's Tapir (the Belizean Mountain Cow), endangered rowdy Black Howler Monkeys (which exist only in Belize), adorable acrobatic Spider Monkeys, and the elusive Exotic Felines of the jungle (jaguar, puma, mountain lions, cougar, ocelot, and the smaller jaguarundi). Quite a healthy number of them roam within their forested habitat, however the most frequented reported sightings are in the Chan Chich area, the Rio Bravo Conservation areas, and the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (which was established in the 80's as a protected jaguar reserve).
Venture into the real "Jungle Book" and stay at Chan Chich Lodge for a night-hike with a feline naturalist guide, or head up into the mountains and get "wildly civilized" at Chaa Creek Lodge cottages and hike the world-renowned Maya Medicine Trail. Go crocodile encountering at the Lamanai Outpost Jungle Lodge, where the Wild Things, Animal Planet, the World Gone Wild and the National Geographic Explorer teams have all featured in their film productions. Live like a Garifuna and dance to hypnotic drum beats during a full moon at Hopkins fishing village and call it a night at the Jaguar Reef Lodge. Climb into the vine-encroached jungles where the once-mighty ancient Mayan cities existed, of Xunantunich, Cerros, Lamanai, Altun Ha, and Caracol. Venture downstream the Macal River in a canoe, lay like an iguana in a hammock at DuPlooy's Jungle Lodge or take a plunge into infinity at Ka'ana Boutique Resort's pool. Get into the deep, and swim like a dolphin off Ambergris Caye – afterwards dry off at the colonial-chic Victoria House in a thatched-roof casita. Cast like an angler for tarpon and bonefish in the crystal clear waters surrounding the famed Turneffe Islands flats, and experience your own private island like Gilligan at Blackbird Caye Resort. Embark on your own private and personal adventure – discover Belize. Awaken your inner child and wander where the wild things roam!
