Our home is pretty small and working from home these past few years has worked, but it’s been a bit tight. My current work space is our dining room table and I hate how messy it can get. I’ve been wanting a space I can leave messy for a day or two, and close the door to hide the mess. Ha! It’s a dream.
Since our home is small (and we’re already getting ready to squeeze a second baby into this house), I have wanted to build a backyard studio for myself. It’s been a dream for years now and my husband and I are finally at a spot in our life where we can make this come true! In the next month we will be tearing down our really old (and almost falling down) detached garage, and replacing it with a beautiful backyard studio. We will be building this dream space ourselves, so I’m expecting we will be working on this space though to the Spring. BUT, when it’s done it will be amazing.
In the photo above you can find some inspiration for the outside of my studio (I’ll be sharing the indoor studio inspiration later). This space will have some beautiful siding from Nichiha, and double Vista Grande doors from Masonite to let all that light in (See below to find out how you can win your own set of VistaGrande doors this month). We will also have a little mini porch, with chairs and decoration, to hang out in front of the studio on our days off. I cannot wait to get started. Keep an eye out because I’ll be sharing studio progress reports here on the blog.
Enter Masonite’s Take Back Your View Contest for a chance to win amazing prizes, including up to two all-new VistaGrande doors from Masonite, specially designed to bring the outside in.
Upload your photos here between now and September 30th, then encourage your friends and family to vote for your entry on Facebook starting October 1st. The 25 entries with the most votes qualify to be one of 15 lucky winners. Masonite will then judge the top 15 entries, awarding five grand prize winners up to two VistaGrande doors of their dreams! Another 10 winners will receive a $100 Visa gift card. Winners will be announced on October 27th.
Good luck you guys, lots of prizes to win!
P.S. I was not paid for this blog post. Masonite is providing a set of Vista Grande doors and Nichiha is providing the siding for the backyard studio project.

Franciscan formation is based upon a personal encounter with the Lord and begins with the call of God and the individual’s decision to walk with Saint Francis in the footsteps of the poor and crucified Christ as His disciple under the action of the Holy Spirit.
The life of the Friars Minor is to “follow Jesus Christ more closely under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit” (GGCC 1 §1; 5 §2) by continuously walking along the road of conversion (cf. GGCC 32 §2) and being faithful to their vocation of Minors (cf. GGCC 64) in accordance with the form observed and proposed by St. Francis.
To follow more closely in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and faithfully observe the holy Gospel, the Friars Minor live the covenant with God by consecrating themselves totally to Him in the Church through their religious profession, for the good of all men and women (cf. GGCC 5 §§1-2).
The Friar Minor is called to observe the holy Gospel “living in obedience, with nothing of his own and in chastity” (Rb 1, 1), sustained by the grace of the Lord and by the vigour of fraternal love according to the spirit of St. Francis.
The life of following Christ of the Friars Minor is sustained by an experience of faith, nourished by the Word of God and by a personal encounter with the mystery of God in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
In the footsteps of the poor, humble and crucified Christ, who collected the disciples around him and washed their feet, the friars live in brotherhood, in service and in mutual giving (cf. GGCC 38). The Friar Minor progresses in knowledge and acceptance of himself and others, intensively cultivating a family spirit (cf. Rb 6, 7) so that the entire fraternity becomes a privileged place of the encounter with God (cf. GGCC 39. 40).
To conform themselves to our Lord Jesus Christ, “who humbled himself, making himself obedient unto death” (Phil 2: 8), the Friars Minor hold minority as an essential element of their specific vocation and live it faithfully in poverty, humility and meekness among the least of people, without power or privilege (cf. GGCC 64; 66 §1; 85).
The Friar Minor cultivates his faith in God within the Church. He lives in communion with the people of God (cf. GGCC 4 §1) and in obedience to and reverence for its Pastors (cf. GGCC 4 §2) and so fulfils the words of the Crucifix of San Damiano addressed to St. Francis: “Go, repair my house” (2Cel 10).

The famous football saying goes, ‘The 12th man is the fan’. But the question is, how are you going to get all your fans to your next game?
Marketing is one of the most important aspects in any business. It enables your brand to have personality, a voice, and a specific look and feel. Without it your business will lose to the competition out on the playing field. Although traditional marketing such as television, print and radio still plays huge role in how we market business, digital marketing, social media and the internet have all dramatically changed the way in which we communicate with clients. With so many platforms to cover, it can be hard to keep your marketing on brand.
Reviewing past and present marketing efforts is great way to see what has worked and what hasn’t. Sometimes things can go a little offside, but with the right coaching you can learn how to better position yourself against your competition!

I’m sure I speak for most designers when I say that academic projects tend to appeal to our most noble intentions. Creating spaces that will foster learning, social interaction, and personal discovery in children from their earliest formative years all the way to adulthood is a very inspiring task. It is also a task that requires consideration of multiple viewpoints: that of the student, the parent, the administration, and unfortunately even that of a stranger who might be up to no good. Because quality design always has the end user in mind, design for academic environments must grow along with students to address their changing needs and the changing times.
In designing for primary school (K-5) environments, a high priority must be ensuring a secure campus while creating an environment enhanced for exploration and play. The landscape architect’s challenge in these situations is to balance security of outdoor spaces with the needs of outdoor learning and physical exercise. Thoughtful site planning creates a solid foundation for this goal. RVi can assist not only with locating the basics on the site plan, we can also help generate creative ideas for the space. Is there an opportunity for an outdoor learning area that is shielded by the building itself? What native environmental site elements can be used as teaching tools and integrated into the curriculum?
As students advance along their academic careers, those in junior high and high school have a different set of priorities. While a safe and secure campus is still an important concern, these students need a wider variety of outdoor spaces to meet their learning, cognitive, social, and individual developmental needs. Campuses at the secondary school level tend to be larger and more spatially dispersed, creating more of an emphasis on pedestrian circulation, informal outdoor gathering areas, and shelter from the elements as students move about the campus. Outdoor recreational areas also tend to increase in size as students trade the securely-fenced playground for wide open ballfields, running tracks, and tennis courts. While outdoor learning environments still play an important role, the quality of student life is often shaped more by the social aspects of the small gestures: a thoughtfully-located seat wall, a shaded set of picnic tables, or a quiet area to practice for a group presentation.
As students graduate to the university environment, design priorities must evolve yet again. The university campus is often even more spread out, which makes circulation and the minimizing of pedestrian and vehicular conflicts a key concern. This can be the first time that the student has a choice in where he or she attends school, so the academic environment must be designed with an eye towards recruitment and retention. Outdoor spaces should tell a story about what is important to or for the school’s mission, vision, or heritage. These areas should draw students in and make them want to be part of the university experience. A mix of softscapes and hardscapes are critical to achieving this goal because they create a variety of opportunities for interaction, discovery, and reflection.
While K-12 and university environments share a common goal of educating students, designing for each age demographic requires specialized knowledge and a unique set of priorities. At RVi, we pay careful attention to the individual needs of the students, parents, administrators, and the communities that we serve – with a goal of creating memorable outdoor spaces that people know and love.

We understand that waiting to learn whether you have been accepted to medical school can be a time of tremendous anxiety. We hope that by explaining the way the process works at UCSF and providing an approximate timeline, we can help to alleviate some of this anxiety.
UCSF has a rolling admissions policy, which means that applicants may be advised of an acceptance any time between December 15 and April 30.
The date of the application does not determine when a decision will be reached. Applicants who are placed on the alternate list will be notified of that status by May 1 and may receive notification of acceptance as withdrawals occur, typically between May and August.
Applicants denied admission may reapply, but are discouraged from doing so more than twice. In our experience, repeat applications are unlikely to result in a different decision.
In special circumstances, the Executive Board for the Committee on Admissions will review requests for deferred admission. Written requests for deferral must be received by May 1 of the year of expected entry. We typically consider deferrals that permit applicants to participate in time-limited, once-in-a-lifetime academic opportunities that will significantly enhance their medical education and training. While we understand that students may wish to spend a year between undergraduate college and the rigors of medical school for financial reasons, personal development, or family needs, we are unlikely to grant deferrals for these reasons.

This is a finding aid. It is a description of archival material held at the Library Company of Philadelphia. Unless otherwise noted, the materials described below are physically available in our reading room, and not digitally available through the web.
Thomas Leiper (1745-1825) was introduced into the business of tobacco shortly after his arrival in Virginia in 1763. Within several years, he moved to Philadelphia where he opened a tobacco shop. During the Revolutionary War, Leiper became the principal tobacco provider in Philadelphia. In 1776, Leiper purchased land in Delaware County that included a mill at a waterfall on the Crum Creek. He established snuff mills and later purchased a stone quarry. The Thomas Leiper and family business records include correspondence, country estate records, and business and financial records of the family's paper, lumber and wood working businesses, quarry business, and tobacco business dating from 1771 to 1947.
[Description and date of item], [Box and folder number], Thomas Leiper and family business records, 1771-1947, Library Company of Philadelphia.
Thomas Leiper was born December 15, 1745 in Strathaven, Lanark, Scotland. He was educated at Glasgow and Edinburgh and immigrated to America in 1763, landing in Virginia where his brother already resided. He was immediately introduced into the business of tobacco, and within several years moved to Philadelphia where he opened a tobacco shop and "engaged in the storing and exportation of tobacco," (Leach). During the Revolutionary War, Leiper became the principal tobacco provider in Philadelphia. In 1776, Leiper purchased land in Delaware County that included a mill at a waterfall on the Crum Creek. He established snuff mills and later purchased a stone quarry. In addition to Leiper?s tobacco business being very successful, over approximately 20 years, he ?acquired a total of 728 acres following Crum Creek to the Delaware River,? (Leiper Church). According to Leach, Leiper "amassed a large fortune, which enabled him to subscribe freely to the improvement of Philadelphia and that part of Delaware County in the neighborhood of "Avondale," his country residence."
Leiper was one of the founders of the first troop of Light Horse of the City of Philadelphia, and served in the Revolutionary War, seeing action at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and York. Along with his troop, he acted as bodyguard for George Washington and as a defender in the "Fort Wilson Riot" which took place at the home of James Wilson. While most sources state that Leiper served as lieutenant and treasurer of that troop, other sources indicate that he served as a private. Politically, Leiper was a democrat. He served as a presidential elector, director of the Banks of Pennsylvania and the United States, and served as President of the Philadelphia City Council from 1802 to 1805. He also served as a member and President of the Common Council of Philadelphia in 1813. He had much interaction with politicians in the early republic including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, to whom he rented a house in Philadelphia.
Leiper?s quarry produced granite for ?curbstones in Philadelphia ? door steps for city homes, ? buildings on the Swarthmore College campus, homes in Swarthmore, and ? the Leiper Church,? (Leiper Church). In part due to the success of Leiper?s quarry business, Leiper was faced with a growing problem in transporting the stone to Philadelphia and the surrounding area. According to Leiper Church, ?in wet weather, the wagons became bogged down on the dirt roads and since Crum Creek was not navigable, barge transportation was not an option.? Therefore, Leiper first requested permission to build a canal (which was not approved) and approximately 20 years later, built a railroad from his quarries to a spot on Ridley Creek which was navigable.
Leiper married Elizabeth Gray, daughter of Speaker of the House of the Pennsylvania State Legislature, in 1778. They had 13 children, 10 of whom lived to adulthood. Leiper died on July 6, 1825.
Soon after his death, his descendents started a two vat paper mill which was managed by John Holmes in 1826, and by George G. Leiper in 1829 until it burned in 1836. The two snuff mills were operated, along with the eight mulls and two cutting machines, until 1845. Thomas Leiper had also started "a tilt- or bade-mill, with Nathum Keys as operator, and in 1826, his yearly output was 200 dozens of scythes and straw knives," (Jordan, page 364). George G. Leiper operated it until 1830. In 1843, Leiper's estate was divided.
Many of Thomas Leiper's descendents were involved in his business, called Thomas Leiper and Sons, which continued to operate until 1946. Thomas Leiper's sons George Gray Leiper, Samuel McKean Lieper and William J. Leiper appear to have been most involved with the continued operation of Lieper's business. George Gray Leiper was born on February 3, 1786 and educated at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to building the canal which his father had tried to build, George Leiper served in the Pennsylvania Congress from 1822 to 1823 and in the United States Congress from 1829 to 1831. He was also appointed associate judge of the Delaware County circuit court. George Leiper's family business work included logging, bark mills and stone quarries. He died on November 18, 1868. His son John C. Leiper became involved in the business. George Leiper's brother Samuel McKean Leiper, was born August 20, 1806 and was educated at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1826. His involvement with the family business began "when he attained majority, [and] had direction, in connection with his brothers, of the extensive snuff manufactory and tobacco business established by his father," (Old Chester Pennsylvania). Samuel Leiper died February 17, 1854. Samuel had at least three sons: Captain Thomas Irvine, General Charles Lewis Leiper (both of whom served in the Civil War) and Callender Irvine Leiper. It appears that Callender I. Leiper operated the quarries at Avondale after the death of his father. Throughout the history of the Leiper mills, fire destroyed much and resulted in changes of hand. A full history of the Leiper descendents' involvement in the business is currently unknown.

The Thomas Leiper family business records include ?Letterbooks;? ?Estate records;? ?Paper, lumber and wood business records;? ?Quarry business records;? ?Tobacco business records;? and ?Miscellaneous and household accounts and receipts,? dating from 1771 to 1947. These volumes document the business efforts of Thomas Leiper and his descendants, including the businesses of Thomas Leiper and Sons, Tobacconists; several quarries; a lumber yard and stable; and the Caldwell and Crosby estates. In addition to his other businesses, Leiper bought and sold real estate.
The collection includes six ? Letterbooks? dating from 1772 to 1829, which discuss to a large degree business, but are also extremely valuable in the documentation of day-to-day events, especially in regards to the Revolutionary War. The first, Volume 1, dating from 1772 to 1780, concerns the sales of, ordering of, and shipment of tobacco. These letters talk about finding ways to ship tobacco in a safe and secure manner and circumventing the British warships which closed the Delaware River in 1772. These letters also discuss the news of the day, and include statements such as, ?The people of Britain are very much mistaken if they think they can cram what Acts they please down our throats,? (December 3, 1774) and ?we are fully of the opinion that Anarchy and Confusion will take place all over this continent in the course of a few months unless the people of Britain alter their mode of proceedings,? (April 17, 1775). Letters from 1776 contain news of events of national and personal nature, as Leiper served, at that time, as a trooper in the American Light Horse. While the vast majority of the volume consists of letters from 1771 to 1776, there are several letters that date until October 9, 1800. Tobacco sales include 500 dozen snuff bottles to be imported from Glasgow, Scotland, with sizes specified, and on a separate occasion, in July 1774, 1800 dozen of the London squares, 900 dozen octagon squares, 300 dozen London small squares. Volume 2, a letterbook regarding tobacco and snuff business, dating from 1776 to 1802 includes letters on prices, shipments, accounts payable, wholesalers, agents, etc. In October 1776, Leiper opened a second grinding mill for snuff and he averaged one hogshead of tobacco per day at the new mill. Also discussed in these letters are prices of tobacco, the rise in workmen?s wages, other potential businesses including a glass house, prices of other commodities, and the status of Continental money (which, according to Leach was up 750%). According to Ken Leach, Leiper was ?a very hard, tough business man, [and] from this letterbook alone, one would think the war was won by tobacco and snuff instead of gunpowder.? To one customer alone, Leiper sold 15,653 (pounds (monetary)) of snuff from July 1777 to April 1780. Also during this period of time, Leiper rented a house from Thomas Jefferson, and he describes, in letters to Jefferson, some of the work being done to the house, and requests that Jefferson pay for some repairs. Throughout this volume, there is continued documentation of Leiper?s experience in the American Light Horse and his description of both General Washington's talk on Peace and Liberty and General Howe?s talk of plundering Philadelphia. Volume 3, dating from 1803 to 1813 contains copies of letters sent by Leiper as a tobacco and snuff merchant and these letters document his personal business and contain long letters on transportation problems and the need for turnpikes and canals across Pennsylvania to the rivers of the south. These letters describe the tobacco industry prices, shipments, etc. Two letters to Thomas Jefferson, of a political nature, are included in this volume. Volume 4, dating from 1807 to 1831, contains copies of letters received and answered and contains largely, information regarding the property bought and owned by Leiper. Leiper owned much land in Pennsylvania including Venango, Warren, Green, Washington, and Delaware counties. The volume also includes copies of letters from the 1790s regarding the purchase of these lands. There are also several pages on lands of the Ohio Land Company. Also, of interest throughout these letters, are references to current events. From 1813 to 1829, Leiper?s letters, contained in the Volume 5, discuss the tobacco and snuff business, politics and Leiper?s many lands and properties. In regards to politics, Leiper wrote to President James Madison recommending John Barker as Postmaster in Philadelphia and regarding other issues; and to Thomas Jefferson. The final letterbook ( Volume 6), dating from 1844, contains only a few letters which are very faded. These letters were not written by Leiper who died in 1825.
The ? Estate records? are the records of the Leiper home, the name of which is uncertain. Records and accounts indicate that the home may have been called Avondale, Strath Haven or ?Snuff Mill,? The ?Estate records? are contained within 5 volumes dating from 1829 to 1847. All of these materials date after Thomas Leiper?s death in 1825, and are therefore, his descendant?s records. These volumes, 7 to 11, include accounts for: shingling, plastering, wages for workmen, boarding, lumber, blasting, powder from DuPont, supplies, freight, some quarry accounts, bottled water, names of vessels carrying freight, maintenance and repairs, food, sub-rents, cabinetwork, clothing, stovepipes, shoes, lumber, cattle, church dues, furniture, and other necessities for the manor. Volume 7 contains a very broad business accounting of the estate; including information on cattle and sheep, rents, taxes, labor, repairs and maintenance, equipment and produce bought and sold, insurance, etc. Volume 9 provides researchers the ability to match names of the Leipers' workers to their occupations.
The ? Executor records? are records produced for estates of which the Leipers served as executors. Volume 12 contains material regarding the Caldwell estate. Included in this volume are receipts received for money paid out, either hand copied or tipped into the volume. Volume 13, dating from 1832 to 1833, is a receipt book for bills paid by the Leiper brothers who served as executors of the estate of Robert Crosby.
The ? Paper, lumber and wood working business records? are contained within three volumes. The first documents the Leiper Paper mill accounts and dates from 1828 to 1829. Only 17 pages of the volume are dedicated to the paper mill. The remaining pages document personal accounts from the 1880s. A volume regarding lumber yards and stables, from 1844, includes all the expenses involved, as well as labor and supplies. Finally, from 1844 to 1851, a wood working shop is documented through wages, lumber accounts, and receipts.
The Leiper family ? Quarry business records? is documented in 18 volumes dating from 1812 to 1947. These volumes contain information largely on accounts and wages, in the form of account books, ledgers, daybooks, cashbooks, time books and wage books. Leiper quarries generally quarried granite and included locations such as Ridley Mills and Leiperville. Ridley Mills is documented in volume 17 and includes sales of stone, types of stone, and prices from 1812 to 1832. This volume includes the names of people, companies and places to which the stone was sold and a roster of early American stone masons and builders. Volume 18 is a workman?s time and wage book and includes names, dates, and wages. Volume 19 documents William and Samuel Leiper?s granite quarry business and consists of a sales account book for stone of all types and purposes, such as building, foundation, railroad, perches, curb, and streets. This volume also includes lists of customers, some of which are: the United States (Naval Asylum, forts, etc.), Girard College, and St. John?s Church at Salem Massachusetts. In addition, the names of vessels used to ship the stone and costs to do so are available via this volume. The granite quarry in Leiperville, Pennsylvania is documented from 1833 to 1939 in volume 20. This volume contains information on boarding for workers, wages, freight bills, vessel charges, and all expenses for the business and the people who supplied those services. Volume 21 provides information on worker?s time and work with wages from 1841 to 1842. Volumes 22 to 24, dating from 1869 to 1884 and 1899 to 1905, contain expenses and wages for quarrying granite and cutting stone and include workmen's time. Volume 25 includes workmen?s time, but it does not include addresses or any indication of type of work.
Thomas Leiper?s earliest business endeavors focused on tobacco and snuff and his work as a merchant in this is documented in the ? Tobacco business records,? 12 volumes dating from 1776 to 1835. Volumes 35 and 36 are sales books containing an average of fifteen entries per page (volume 35 has over 4,000 entries). Information included is amount of snuff or tobacco sold, type (pigtail, plug, cask, bladder, bottles), to whom the tobacco was sold, and how and where it was delivered. Volume 37 is a ?Work Book,? containing the names of people who worked for Leiper, the type of work they did (rollers, spinners, etc), their hours, and their wages from 1776 to 1795. Volume 38 contains sales accounts for snuff and tobacco from 1801 to 1802. Volume 40 documents tobacco sales in 1816. Volume 41 is entitled ?Shop Ledger? and contains information on Leiper?s cigar manufactory, names of workers, time, and wages from 1823 to 1827. Volume 42 is an order book containing hundreds of accounts for snuff and tobacco sales. It includes pricing for plug, roll, bladder, pigtail, Glasgow, and pipe, and dates from 1826 to 1831. Volume 43 is a receipt book for the tobacco business and contains information on kegs, making cigars, and sub-contractors who rolled cigars for the Leiper company from 1831 to 1834. Thomas Leiper and Sons ledger, volume 44, contains accounts daily of sales of snuff and tobacco from 1831 to 1835. Taken as a whole, these volumes provide a very complete picture of the tobacco business during the colonial and early national periods in America. Not only are the records of the business in existence, but also records of shipping, customers and workers.
The final three volumes in the Leiper family business records are ?Miscellaneous and household account books and receipts.? The first of these dates from 1781 to 1783 and is attributed to Thomas Leiper. Included in this volume ( volume 45) are sales of merchandise; including ?sundries;? metal items, such as callender, ladle, coal shovel, candlesticks, tea kettles, camp kettles, brass clock, silver buckles, brass, tin, pewter, copper and iron; and the repair and maintenance of items. The names of the buyers are often identified as to their professions, such as blacksmiths, tallow chandler, cooper, joiner, shoemaker, etc., as well as their residences. The second miscellaneous account book ( volume 46) dates from 1814 to 1817 and includes accounts, loose leaves, letter copies, land rents, and supplies for the tobacco business. The last volume in the series ( volume 47), and the collection, is a receipt book dating from 1825 to 1837. Included in this volume are receipts for Leiper?s barber, postage, subscriptions, labor, advertising, taxes, wine, clothing, freight, printing, billing for shares in the Library Company of Philadelphia, a pair of pistols, a second hand carriage, coal, and groceries. While many of these receipts are copies, there are original receipts tipped in with wax.
The collection as a whole provides an outstanding representation of an early American business, which lasted well into the 20th century. According to Ken Leach, appraiser of the collection, ?with a major product, tobacco, and being the largest company in the business at the time, this collection brings to light all the facts, figures and correspondence.? The letterbooks should be used with other volumes in order to provide context to the account books, wage books, and other financial records.
The processing of this collection was made possible through generous funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, administered through the Council on Library and Information Resources? ?Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives? Project.

The Complainant is General Motors LLC of New York, New York, United States of America (“United States”), represented by Abelman Frayne & Schwab, United States of America.
The Respondent is Mel Light of Los Angeles, California, United States, and Domains By Proxy, Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona, United States.
The disputed domain name <chevyextendedwarranty.com> (the "Disputed Domain Name") is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC.
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the “Center”) on December 9, 2011. On December 12, 2011, the Center transmitted by email to GoDaddy.com, LLC a request for registrar verification in connection with the Disputed Domain Name. On December 13, 2011, GoDaddy.com, LLC transmitted by email to the Center its verification response disclosing registrant and contact information for the Disputed Domain Name which differed from the named Respondent and contact information in the Complaint. The Center sent an email communication to the Complainant on December 20, 2011 providing the registrant and contact information disclosed by the Registrar, and inviting the Complainant to submit an amendment to the Complaint. The Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on December 20, 2011. The Center verified that the Complaint together with the amendment to the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Policy” or “UDRP”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the “Supplemental Rules”).
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on December 22, 2011. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was January 11, 2012. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent’s default on January 18, 2012.
The Center appointed Neil, J. Wilkof as the sole panelist in this matter on March 1, 2012. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
The Disputed Domain Name registration at issue is <chevyextendedwarranty.com>, registered on June 18, 2010. The Disputed Domain Name is registered in the name of Mel Light of Los Angeles, California, United States.
Annex 5 to the Complaint contains a summary report of over 200 registrations of the CHEVY mark, or marks that contain the CHEVY mark, throughout the world, as of December 7, 2011, including the following United States registrations (hereinafter also referred to as: “the Mark”).
Registration No. 1494385, for CHEVY in class 28.
Registration No. 2308986, for CHEVY in class 25.
Registration No. 2357128, for CHEVY in class 16.
Registration No. 2649537 for CHEVY TRUCKS in class 20.
Registration No. 2543117 for CHEVY TRUCKS in class 21.
Registration No. 2609931 for CHEVY TRUCKS in class 25.
Registration No. 2555071 for CHEVY TRUCKS EMBLEM in class 6.
Annex 6 to the Complaint contains copies of some of the registrations set out in Annex 5, including registration number 2649537 and registration number 2609931. Based upon an inspection by the Panel of the on-line data base of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, registration extracts for the other United States registrations set out above were found. The Panel carry out such limited factual research into matters of public record ("WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Second Edition ("WIPO Overview 2.0")", paragraph 4.5).
The Complainant is the successor-in-interest to all of the trademarks and related goodwill owned by the General Motors Corporation, which was founded in 1908. The Complainant, through General Motors Corporation, is a world-renown automotive company and it is among the world’s largest companies in the automobile industry. The Complainant today manufactures cars and trucks in 34 countries and it employs approximately 244,500 people engaged in the sale and servicing of vehicles in 140 countries. The largest markets for the Complainant are the United States, followed by China, Brazil, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Russian Federation and Germany.
Since the Chevrolet automotive company joined General Motors in 1918, the name CHEVROLET, also known as CHEVY, has been identified with style, performance and innovation in the automotive industry. Among the milestones of the Complainant is the introduction of the first 6-cylinder engine; innovations such as vacuum spark control, manifold heat control, no draft ventilation, and anti-lock brakes, and development of an extended range electric vehicle (The CHEVY VOLT). The Complainant has enjoyed significant sales of CHEVROLET vehicles since its inception nearly a century ago, already reaching one million units in sales in 1923. Annex 13 to the Complaint sets out a sampling of the Complainant's world-wide vehicle sales for the years 2005 – 2009. These sales have been supported by extensive and long-term marketing and advertising and the CHEVROLET and CHEVY names have been the subject of some of America's most distinctive advertising campaigns.
The Complainant has benefited from the strength of its CHEVROLET and CHEVY marks not only with respect to vehicles and related services, but also to a wide variety of other products, including personal accessories, hats, clothes, car accessories, die cast and collectibles, furniture, posters, tool boxes, watches and clocks and neon signs. Annex 12 of the Complaint contains copies of printouts of such products from the website “www.chevymall.com”. Based on the long-standing and extensive success enjoyed by the CHEVROLET and CHEVY marks, these marks have become among the most well-known trademarks in the automotive industry and to consumers throughout the world.
The Complainant states that on November 22, 2011, prior to commencing this UDRP proceeding, the Complainant’s attorney sent a letter to the administrative contact concerning the Disputed Domain Name. The letter was sent to the e-mail address as provided in the Whois record for the Disputed Domain Name <chevyextendedwarranty.com>. No response was received. A copy of both the email and letter are attached as Annex 18 to the Complaint.
The Complainant states that the Disputed Domain Name is currently used by the Respondent "in relation to the offering of services not authorized by the Complainant. The website offers CHEVY extended warranties for CHEVY vehicles. The website contains the word mark CHEVY as well as the well-known CHEVROLET LOGO. Visitors to the website “www.chevyextendedwarranty.com” will be confused into thinking that these services are those of or associated with the Complainant. By doing so, it may be inferred that the Respondent has deliberately attempted to deceive visitors to the website that the services offered on the website are those of the Complainant."
1. The Disputed Domain Name is confusing similar to the Mark.
3. The Disputed Domain Name was registered and has been used in bad faith.
The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions. Therefore, the Panel may accept all reasonable allegations set forth by the Complainant as true and accurate.
Based on the registrations and extensive use of the CHEVY mark in the name of the Complainant, the Panel rules that the Complainant has established rights in the Mark.
In determining whether there is confusing similarity between a domain name and a mark with respect to paragraph 4(a)(i) of the Policy it is a well-established principle that special attention should be paid to the mark as compared to the dominant part of the domain name. As the panel in Dr. Ing. H.c.F. Porsche AG v. Vasily Terkin, WIPO Case No. D2003-0888, noted, "a domain name that wholly incorporates a Complainant's registered mark may be sufficient to establish confusingly similarity for purposes of the UDRP.” The panel in the case of Dr. Ing. H.c.F. Porsche AG, supra further noted that “[t]he fact that the word “auto parts” is added to the Complainant's trademark does not eliminate the identity, or at least the similarity, between Complainant's trademark and the disputed name, as “auto parts” is a descriptive component of the disputed domain name.” Moreover, it is well-established that the presence of the top level domain (TLD) “.com” is not relevant in comparing a domain name to a trademark.
The Disputed Domain Name fully incorporates the Mark CHEVY together with the ordinary English words “extended” and “warranty”. In such a circumstance, this combination of the words "chevyextendedwarranty" is confusingly similar to the mark CHEVY. As stated by the Panel in Sony Kabushuki Kaisha v. Inja, Kil, WIPO Case No. D2000-1409, “neither the addition of an ordinary descriptive word nor the suffix“.com” detracts from the overall impression of the dominant part of the name, namely the trademark SONY”. That is the case in the instant situation.
For the foregoing reasons, the Panel rules that the Disputed Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Mark.
Here, as well, the Respondent has failed to respond to the Complaint. Therefore, the Panel may accept all reasonable allegations set forth by the Complainant as true and accurate. The Panel finds that the Complainant has carried its burden of proof on this element and has demonstrated a prima facie case that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests.
The Respondent does not use the Disputed Doman Name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services. There is no evidence that the Respondent has registered any mark that consists of, or contains, the Mark, or any material portion thereof. There is no evidence that the Complainant has entered into any agreement, authorization or license with the Respondent with respect to the use of the Mark. The name of the Respondent bears no resemblance to the Disputed Domain Name nor is there any basis to conclude that the Respondent is commonly known by the Mark or the Disputed Domain Name. Having regard to the three suggested grounds set out in paragraph 4(c) of the Policy, on the basis of which a respondent may support a claim that it has rights or legitimate interests in the domain name, the Respondent has not submitted any Response to support such a claim.
Based on the foregoing, the Panel finds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Disputed Domain Name.
The Panel believes that the circumstances described in subsection 4(b)(iv) above of the Policy apply in this case and, as such, support the conclusion that the Respondent has acted in bad faith. In the Respondent’s choice and use of the Disputed Domain Name, the Panel is of the view, based on the particular circumstances of this case, that the Respondent is likely attempting to attract Internet users to the Respondent’s website by attempting to create a false association, sponsorship or endorsement with or of the Complainant. In this case, the Respondent seeks to create a false impression that its offer for an "extended warranty plan" for CHEVY vehicles is connected with the Complainant. In so doing, it is acting in a bad-faith manner in exploiting the goodwill and reputation of the Complainant and the Mark for the purpose of the Respondent’s commercial gain.
In this Panel’s view, the Respondent has presumed knowledge of the Mark and the rights of the Complainant therein. This is shown inter alia by the notice at the bottom of the webpage that is associated with the Disputed Domain Name, which states that "[t]he Chevy names and logos are trademarks owned by General Motors." LLC, In such a situation, when the Respondent adopted the Mark as the principal component of the Disputed Domain Name, this was adopted in bad faith in order to exploit the rights of the Complainant in the Mark.
This conclusion is not changed by the fact that the Respondent has included the following disclaimer at the bottom of the web page that is associated with the Disputed Domain Name.
"ChevyExtendedWarranty.com is an independent website about Chevy Extended Warranties and is not sponsored by or in any way affiliated with Chevy."
"3.5 What is the role of a disclaimer on the web page of a disputed domain name?
Consensus view: The existence of a disclaimer cannot by itself cure bad faith, when bad faith has been established by other factors. This is typically explained by UDRP panels with reference to the probability of Internet user "initial interest confusion" - by the time such user reaches and reads any disclaimer under the domain name, any registrant objective of attracting visitors for financial advantage to its website through use of the trademark in the domain name will generally have been achieved. A disclaimer can also show that the respondent had prior knowledge of the complainant's trademark. However a disclaimer, especially if it is sufficiently clear and prominent, may sometimes be found to support other factors indicating good faith or legitimate interest" (Relevant decisions omitted).
Here, the disclaimer is not set out in a manner that makes it "sufficiently clear and prominent" so as to overcome the "initial interest confusion" engendered by the adoption and use of the Disputed Domain Name. Much of the text on the webpage is presented in a font size larger than that of the disclaimer. As such, there is no assurance that a disclaimer placed on the bottom of the website, in the manner as done so by the Respondent, will necessarily be noticed and even if it is noticed, a potential customer may not read or understand it.
"© Copyright 2012 | Chevy Extended Warranty – Chevy Extended Warranties"
The fact is that the Respondent has chosen to name the copyright holder by reference to the Mark further supports the conclusion that the Respondent has acted in bad faith.
As stated by the Complainant in paragraph 33 of the Complaint, "[t]he Respondent could have just as easily registered the domain name <vehicleextendedwarranties.com>, <autoextendedwarranty.com>, etc. It is not necessary to use the Complainant’s CHEVY trademark in the domain name." The Panel concurs with this view. In circumstances such as those described above, the Panel believes that the Respondent has made out a prima facie case for "initial interest confusion."
"Does ownership of a registered trademark to which the domain name is identical or confusingly similar automatically satisfy the requirements under paragraph 4(a)(i) of the UDRP?
Consensus view: If the complainant owns a trademark, then it generally satisfies the threshold requirement of having trademark rights. The location of the trademark, its date of registration (or first use) [see also paragraph 1.4 below], and the goods and/or services for which it is registered, are all irrelevant for the purpose of finding rights in a trademark under the first element of the UDRP. However, such factors may bear on a panel's determination whether the respondent has registered and used the domain name in bad faith under the third element of the UDRP” (relevant decisions omitted).
From an inspection of the webpage that is associated with the Disputed Domain Name, it does not appear that the services offered are targeted to a non United States-based audience. However, in reviewing the list of registered trademarks for the CHEVY mark in the United States, as set out in Annex 5 of the Complaint, the Panel does not find any registered marks for the mark in international class 12, which most directly covers automobiles and related products, or for related services, such as warranties for automobile vehicles. It is true that the Complainant has registered the mark in class international 12 in other countries but, as noted, it does not appear that the services offered by the Disputed Domain Name are being targeted for consumers outside of the United States.
The Panel would have preferred that the Complainant be more forthcoming in the presentation of its evidence, especially with respect to its rights in the CHEVY (as opposed to the CHEVROLET) mark in the United States. Nevertheless, based on the totality of the evidence regarding trademark registrations for the Mark, and having regard to the extensive use of the CHEVY mark in the United States since the early 1920's, the Panel is of the view that the Mark has obtained wide-spread recognition and notoriety in the United States. This is also seen by the notice provided by the Respondent in which it acknowledges the Complainant's rights in the Mark, as noted above. Accordingly, the Panel is of the view that the apparent lack of a registration for the CHEVY mark in the United States in international class 12 does not alter the Panel's conclusion that the Respondent has acted in a bad faith manner in its registration and use of the Disputed Domain Name.
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Disputed Domain Name, <chevyextendedwarranty.com>, be transferred to the Complainant.

lawyers are required to keep their clients informed about costs associated with their case.
The Family Court has devised a Scale of Costs which itemizes what lawyers are allowed to charge.
A lawyer has to provide in writing the client an explanation of how costs are calculated. This should include an estimate of costs and how party/party costs might be applicable and if the services of an additional lawyer are required. If an expert witness is required this should be included in the costing.
It is possible that there might be additional fees which are not included in the Family Court’s Scale of Costs. The lawyer will need to draw up a Costs Agreement with the client to account for these additional costs.
This article includes the rights, duties and responsibilities of the lawyer and the client including all costs associated with the provision of a lawyer’s service. What a lawyer can charge for party / party costs is included too, as well as the process for disputing an account.
If a lawyer receives an offer to settle once a property case has commenced the lawyer must immediately inform his or her client of the actual costs that have both been paid and are currently owed up to the receipt of the offer to settle and an estimate of remaining costs to finish. The client then is in the situation of properly considering the offer to settle.
The Family Court Act section 117(1) identifies that each party is responsible for the payment of their costs. However, the Court has the power to make costs order if the circumstances justify masking such an order. Section 118 of the Act indicates the circumstances when a costs order might be made.
A party who is seeking costs must inform the person from whom they are seeking costs from and the Court is required to give each person a reasonable chance to be heard when it comes to the costs application. Costs orders can be lodged at any time throughout the proceedings.
After 1 July 2008, The Family Court will not regulate solicitor/ client costs, for fresh applications after 1 July 2008. Costs Agreement and other issues about the payment of solicitor to client costs will be monitored by the state/ territory regulatory body.
For any cases that have been lodged before 1 July 2008, the Family Court will still continue to regulate the solicitor/ client costs, unless a client retains the services of a new solicitor after 1 July 2008 or in situations where the solicitor and client reach an agreement that the Rules that deal with the regulating of costs should not be applicable any longer to their specific financial relationship.
The client asks for a bill of costs that has to be itemized and the solicitor must meet the request.
The client lodges the “Notice Disputing Itemised Costs Account” Family Court form.
The Federal Circuit Court of Australia Rules 2001, Part 21, handles cost issues in the Federal Magistrates Court. It has its set costs which are recorded in Schedule 1 of the Rules.
The Court can set the maximum amount that can be recovered on a party/party basis through either an order lodged at the first court date or through an application made by one of the parties: r 21.03(1) FMCR.
The court can lodge an order for costs against the lawyer or any agent or employee if either of them caused costs to another person as a result of any delay, improper conduct or negligence.
If a hearing cannot take place because the lawyer has not attended, or has sent someone else to attend the hearing, or has failed to handle documentation as required including valid evidence which has stopped the hearing proceeding. The lawyer will be given a chance to be heard before an order for costs is made.

FYI, I bought my Odroid Go from Ameridroid here in the USA. It looks more expensive until you factor in shipping, which is much cheaper with Ameridroid and mine only took three business days to arrive.

An I.T. closet or wiring closet is a small room found in commercial buildings for all electrical connections. The common purpose of the wiring closet is for computer network system, also known as Premises Wire Distribution (PWD) Room, and many other purposes. The network wiring room is typically similar whether for a small, mid-size, or large business. There are four major factors to a network wiring closet are network switches, storage, any software, and servers. Additional factors are rack integration and power distribution systems.
Smaller businesses use wiring closets as a computing hub to house all networking, electrical power, and storage. The wiring closet can house everything needed to run the business. On the other hand, in larger businesses, the wiring closet operates in connection to a central computer hub, server room, or data center. Larger businesses utilize a wiring closet as a portal to the central computing hub and data center for storage. The difference between network closets is the purpose it serves. Three purposes to consider when designing or redesigning a network closet is organization, management, and protection.
Due to the lack of space in a network closet, organization is important to effective maintenance and proper operation. Appropriate rack integration systems is vital to maintain switches, servers, and storage equipment securely.
Protection of the computer and equipment is a great way to dodge any risks, save time and money. I.T. closets benefit from continued and reliable uptime. Many solutions to this issue is an uninterruptible power system (UPS) to offer emergency power supply in cases of any utility failures. Other solutions are rack power distribution unit (PDU) and hot-swap maintenance bypass units allow power to be redirected to perform any maintenance and replace an UPS.
Management capabilities can truly optimize an I.T. closet in addition to protecting equipment and organizing the space. The I.T. staff manages the network using appropriate hardware and software management.
For the most part only Sublet Offices come "Pre-Wired" which means there are lines that run from the primary leesor's I.T. Closet all the way to your desk terminating at ports using in the form of CAT 5 or 6 wiring. In most instances each desk or seat gets 1 to 3 ports which then covers your; Computer, VOIP Phone, and perhaps a network device such as a Drive or Printer.
The I.T. closet should include enough room for an interruptible power supply in the closet. A minimum of two electrical circuits contained in each I.T. closet. The design should include good lighting in the closet even both low and high.
The most important is a cooling system to all electronics in the space. The space is primarily for storage, computing, and servers. It should be kept dry and access to electricity. Network equipment requires attention infrequently once installed so the I.T. closet can maintain limited accessibility.

If crops were pro football players, corn would be the all-pro quarterback, while soybeans would be the benchwarmers. Typically, corn receives all the glory, while soybeans are shunted aside.
It doesn’t have to be that way. “Put some effort into them!” says Joel Wipperfurth, a WinField United ag technology applications lead. With proper management, soybeans can brim bins with plentiful yields as does corn.
That’s the approach that Dan Arkels of Peru, Illinois, takes. In 2014, he won the Illinois Soybean Association yield contest with a 104-bushel-per-acre yield.
He sold soybeans at around $10 per bushel that year, which enabled him to glean an extra $340 per acre in gross revenues on the 30-acre plot of contest soybeans. The extra $340 in gross revenues he gleaned dwarfed the money he spent on inputs to glean the extra 34-bushel-per-acre yield.
Granted, much still hinges on the weather. A droughty August can nix some of the extra input and strategy benefits.
“If you have a good stretch of weather that will take beans the distance, it’s worth spending money on them,” says Arkels.
Here are five of the steps Arkels takes to aim for high soybean yields.
“My soils are black, tight, and deep Muscatine-Sable type of soils,” he says. This makes for excellent water-holding capacity, although drainage is a must.
“I always try to put contest beans on well-drained fields, because drainage is a big part of high yields,” he says. Well-drained soils enable soybeans to start well and deter diseases.
“When I look at variety selection, the most important thing to me is plant health,” he says. “I look at resistance to SCN (soybean cyst nematode), SDS (sudden death syndrome), and white mold.
“I also look at full-season products for my area,” he says. On contest beans, he’s planted maturity group 3.4 soybeans. By flowering late into the season, more pods and potentially higher yields result, he says.
Aiming to plant soybeans early in mid-April leverages the increased flowering period that full-season varieties have. “A soybean plant is light-sensitive, and it will flower as late as the season allows,” he says.
He normally combines 50 pounds per acre of 32% N and an N inhibitor with a preplant herbicide. Soybeans often go through a two- to three-week “ugly” phase early in the season, where they are yellowed and stunted. The weed-and-feed application helps plants nix the ugly phase and develop an excellent root system packed with N-fixing nodules, he says.
After that, all N is foliar-applied, with contest soybeans receiving at least two foliar applications of N. Multiple applications of a fungicide are also key, he says. In contest fields, he will apply up to three fungicide applications during the reproductive phase, which are often combined with foliar N.
Sufficient potassium (K) levels are also needed. “Demand for potash in soybeans is astronomically high in a high-yield environment,” Arkels says.
Foliar applications are keyed by tissue tests. “I send tissue tests to the lab, and the report tells me if I’m short on N, P (phosphorus), K, and micronutrients,” he says. This allows Arkels the opportunity to correct deficiencies, mainly K and micronutrients like boron, copper, manganese and magnesium.
Slashing seedbank weeds is also key, says Wipperfurth. He says 50% of waterhemp seeds are viable nine days after flowering. Rouging and removing waterhemp plants from a field before harvest prevents weed seeds from sprouting in future years.
Intensive soybean management has drawbacks. “Steps taken to increase yields (such as using high fertility and plant hormones) create a lot of growth that makes soybeans prone to lodging,” says Arkels.
In 2016, Arkels estimated he had 130-bushel-per-acre soybean contest yields on the way, with lush 5- to 6-foot-high soybeans soaking up sunlight. However, a straight-line summer wind lodged them.
Ideally, Arkels would like a bushier bean plant, rather than one that grows so tall. He’s been working with a company called Biovante that’s testing a foliar growth regulator aimed at making soybeans shorter and pushing internodes closer together.
“This makes them more of a bush plant, one that’s shorter and wider,” he says. Results are promising on his on-farm tests, he says.
Reality has a way of snapping back when it comes to taking contest practices across the farm. All soils aren’t going to be rich, black ones, and all intensive practices aren't going to pay.
Still, Arkels advises taking contest lessons learned and applying them across the rest of the farm. Some steps, such as early planting, can be used with no extra inputs.

FRANKFURT, Sept 12: German utility RWE declined comment on Friday on the size of damage claims it faces from two oil and gas companies in connection with operations in Iraqi Kurdistan.
A German newspaper said claims could run to billions of euros.
RWE confirmed it was the subject of a claim by Dana Gas and Crescent Petroleum, as disclosed in Dana's annual report for 2014, which said proceedings had been initiated in 2010.
The annual report said the claim was based on RWE having breached confidentiality agreements, thus impairing the two UAE companies' interests in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region.
In April this year, the London Court of International Arbitration held that an RWE subsidiary, RWE Supply & Trading, had breached confidentiality agreements and thereby impaired Dana Gas's and Crescent Petroleum's interests in the region. Damages will now be determined during a second stage of the tribunal.
A spokeswoman for RWE confirmed proceedings were underway at the London Court of International Arbitration involving subsidiary RWE Supply & Trading, but declined comment on the size of the claims.
German newspaper Rheinische Post reported potential damage claims could be in the billions of euros, citing unnamed industry sources.
"We expect completion of the proceedings in 2016," the RWE spokeswoman said. "As it is an arbitration process, that is subject to confidentiality, we cannot make any further statements."
She said RWE viewed the proceedings as unjustified.
Dana Gas could not be reached for comment on Friday, which is not a working day the Middle East. Crescent is a privately-owned oil and gas company headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is affiliated to Abu Dhabi-listed Dana Gas.

A new Rasmussen poll of likely Republican primary voters shows Kay Bailey Hutchison with 40 percent and Rick Perry with 38 percent. Two months ago, in mid July, a Rasmussen poll showed Rick Perry leading Kay Bailey Hutchison by 10 points in the Republican Gubernatorial primary.
The two candidates have practically identical approval ratings among the likely primary voters, with Perry at 72 percent and Hutchison at 71 percent.
Sixty-nine percent (69%) of primary voters now approve of the job Perry is doing as governor, down five points from July. Twenty-nine percent (29%) disapprove of the governor’s performance. Perhaps more significantly, 20% strongly approve, down five points from the previous survey, while 12% strongly disapprove, up three points.
In a primary will relatively low turnout, the intensity of support matters greatly. To see Perry's “strongly approve” go down and “strongly disapprove” go up, even slightly, may worry the Governor's campaign team.
While the polling at first glance seems like good news for Hutchison and bad news for Perry, a question still remains about how a challenger, even one as popular as Hutchison, can defeat a ten-year incumbent governor who has a nearly 70 percent approval rating among likely primary voters.
Some of Perry's largest leads in the poll were from self-identified conservatives and voters under 65, two groups that will likely make up a disproportionately high percentage of Republican primary voters next March.

to tell us this race is over again. i think he officially called it for rick back in june.
kay baby ain't going away. i would expect her to build a lead and hold it…especially if she'll start making family appearances.
clearly perry's polling has indicated that he needs to tie her to DC at every turn…and my gut tells me kbh's polling indicates that if you give gov. pomade enough rope, he'll hang himself.
i don't think that kbh's strategy (and, therefore, karen hughes strategy) of taking the abuse with a smile is by accident. i'm sure her polling must have found a thematic that shows perry's attacks soften his support and embolden her support.
assuming the lyceum poll was accurate, this is a 14 point swing in 3 months. don't think that happened, i think the lyceum poll was a little off.
this is shaping up to be a very exciting cycle.

You have talent, drive and a great idea for a comedy project.
You also have a busy family life, a lonely boss and a Schnauzer with irritable bowel syndrome.
So where’s your writing time?
is the only one of its kind: a writing residency specifically for emerging humor writers.
Located adjacent to the University of Dayton — alma mater of legendary humorist Erma Bombeck — the Humorist-in-Residence Program gives two emerging comedy writers the opportunity to step away from their regular routines to live and procrastinate work as full-time writers. Where? At the University of Dayton Marriott, of course.
That’s the idea behind “A Hotel Room of One’s Own” — private, uninterrupted time for two writers to dive into their comedy projects without restrictions or responsibilities. It’s the luxury of time, and an experience that can change a career. Plus room service! Applications will be accepted Sept. 3-24, 2019.
If you are selected as one of the 2020 Humorists-in-Residence, you will receive complimentary registration to attend the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop, the only national workshop dedicated to humor writing, at the University of Dayton (April 2-4, 2020).
The program will pay your basic expenses (travel, meals, lodging) and provide a rental car, as well as some “walking-around money” (or, as Julius Caesar called it, a “per diem”). Lastly, you’ll be featured on the workshop website where you’ll share your Humorist-in-Residence experiences in a personal essay.
And that’s the package! Now, before you run around telling people you’ve applied for an all-expenses-paid, two-week trip to Dayton, Ohio (trust us on this), perhaps consider instead telling your writer friends that you’ve applied to a highly selective writing residency affiliated with a prestigious, national humor-writing workshop. Because that’s what it is.

Kona World Championship October 2015 – My feelings.
What an opportunity/blessing to “play” race and train with some of the best triathletes in the world. Feeling lucky to be there I had one goal, finish by sun down. My heart was full and thankful for all the friends I met and have who encouraged me every stroke, peddle and step of the way.
Nerves hit fast within hours of being on Kona…seeing gear, bike bags and the caliber of athletes brought me back to my skating days. Although, this time I am not seeing a young pair team pull off a split triple twist. I was walking through crowds of athletes that have trained for years to have their turn at the Kona World Championship competition, with personal/professional goals to achieve.
Thankfully I ran into Ryan & Ian from Roka, and Yo from Newton Running at the expo and who got me sorted for the days coming! Thanks Again! Taking Ian’s advice I watched the underwear run from the sidelines. Glad I didn’t miss it. A quick swim in my new Roka swim-skin and a run along Ali’I drive put my head in the game. My ride along the Queen K to the donkey crossing sign kept me smiling.
Race day started around 4am, after setting up my only thought was " enjoy this experience". With no strategy in place I went out into the water early thinking I would head to the far end. I kept getting pushed way out to the left. Mistake! Treading water and looking at the clock I kept telling myself enjoy the moment, while watching the sunrise, helicopters and drones overhead.
Coming out of the water I knew I had a tough swim, 2.4 miles is a long swim! Again, reminding myself to enjoy the experience and truthfully trying not to freak out. Ironman Kona was turning into a head game.
The ride up to Hawi didn’t disappoint. I just kept my head down and kept going. The head game started again, hearing tires blow, and sensing panic it started to rain hard. Praying and again reminding myself to enjoy the moment, I did just that. As the ride came to an end I could see runners on the course and excitement settled in as I looked forward to the next challenge and getting off my bike.
My next beginner’s mistake was not applying enough sun block. I actually felt pretty good on the run. There were lots of people cheering and spraying water, and once I saw Ian and Katie at the bottom of Palani they gave me another boost. Upon getting onto the Queen K it was all business, and I was looking forward to the turnaround at the Energy Lab. The run going down Palani was painful and fun as the crowds were out and cheering everyone through. I made my way back to Ali’I and again, I tried to really enjoy the whole experience of the finish.
Ali’i was packed with people and I could hear Mike Riley yelling out finisher names. It was a great experience running down the finisher shoot and to the line. I’m honored to have had this opportunity and raced in Kona and I did what I prayed for, I finished and enjoyed it.

Crush injuries occur whenever the body or part of the body is jammed, pinched or squashed by or between objects, such as when a person is trapped under a rolling vehicle. Often, there is little visible evidence on the outside of the body, but the hidden damage can be extensive. The pressure can damage bones, muscles and internal organs, depending on the degree of force. Sometimes, the crush injury is so severe that amputation is required which can have life- changing consequences.
In the UK, most crush injury claims arise after an accident at work, with workers in the construction, manufacturing and agricultural sectors being most at risk of injury. The most commonly injured body parts are the hands and fingers.
If you have sustained a crush injury due to the negligent actions of another person, we can help. Our expert panel of crush injury lawyers can offer timely and compassionate legal assistance and help you recover the financial compensation you deserve.
Crush injuries can occur in any situation, but most commonly happen in the workplace. The following describes some of the leading causes of crush injuries.
Machinery at work causes over 1,500 serious injuries a year, according to the Health and Safety Executive. Crush injuries typically occur when a worker becomes entangled with a machine while they are operating it or trying to remove blockages. Most machinery-related crush injuries affect the hands and fingers and can permanently affect the injured person’s ability to work.
Employers have a duty to ensure that machinery is working properly, and to train staff how to operate it safely. In addition, The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 require employers to fix suitable guards and establish “danger zones” around machinery so that no worker comes into contact with a dangerous moving part.
If the employer does not take reasonable steps to protect you, then they may have to pay compensation for your injuries.
Crush injuries can occur when a heavy load collapses trapping someone beneath, for example, materials falling from a warehouse shelf or collapsed structures on a building site. The object does not have to fall very far to cause serious injury.
Employers are responsible for keeping the work environment as safe as possible and must supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect workers from this type of injury. If an employer fails to supply hard hats, steel toe-capped boots and so on, then they may be liable for any injuries you sustain as a result.
Diggers, cranes, fork lift trucks and certain types of farm vehicles are dangerous pieces of equipment that can cause serious crush injuries if they are not maintained or operated correctly. The vehicle could pin someone up against an object, run over and crush their feet, or roll over on top of a person. They can also collide with other objects such as storage racks causing those objects to topple and crush people.
Employers are responsible for designing safe working processes so that cranes, forklifts and other vehicles can move safely around the workplace. Employees should also be trained on how to use these vehicles safely. If you have been injured in a workplace vehicle accident, you may be entitled to make a crush injury compensation claim.
Crush injuries can occur when the roof of a vehicle collapses in a rollover accident, or when the body of a vehicle is so badly compressed that it traps the driver or passengers inside. Crush injuries can also affects cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians who become trapped between vehicles or between a vehicle and another object such as a wall.
All road users have a duty to act responsibly and to take reasonable care for the safety of other road users. If a driver acts recklessly, then they may be found to be negligent and liable to pay compensation to anyone who was hurt by their actions. The claim would usually be settled by the driver’s insurance company, not the driver directly.
Doors are responsible for a considerable number of crush injuries to the hands and fingers. The best way to avoid injury is to keep your wits about you; however, there are certain steps that a building owner should take to stop their visitors trapping their fingers in doors.
Children are especially susceptible to door trapping injuries since they may not be aware of the risks. A soft closure system – which stops the door from closing quickly – can help prevent injuries in schools, nurseries and other public places. At the hinge side, the use of a finger protection device that minimises the gap between the door and the frame can eliminate the finger trap.
The law requires that employers, local authorities and building owners identify hazards and protect people as far as reasonably practicable. Those that fail to do so may expose themselves to a compensation claim.
Crowds are a condition of modern life. Most of us encounter them at concerts, football matches, parades and shopping sales every year. Large numbers of people do not pose a threat when they are properly managed and controlled. But if something restricts the flow of pedestrians, for example, a blocked exit, then the crowd can exert a suffocating pressure known as crowd crush.
The organisers of large public events have a duty to protect their visitors from any risks to their personal safety, including potential crush injuries. If you have been injured in a crowd crush because the organiser did not implement the appropriate crowd management techniques, then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
To make a successful claim, your solicitor must be able to prove that the accident was caused by the fault of another person (negligence), and that your injuries were sustained as a direct result of the accident (causation). The negligent person could be an employer, a car driver, the local authority or someone else, depending on the type of accident.
The success of your claim hinges on the strength of the evidence. Your solicitor will gather and examine evidence such as witness testimony, CCTV footage, photographs, machinery specifications and repair logs to support your claim.
What compensation can you seek for crush injury claims?
In crush injury claims, the injured person gets compensation for their injuries in the form of “damages” from the liable party. Damages are intended to return you to the position you were in prior to the accident, and are divided into two main categories.
General damages cover the pain and suffering associated with your injury. This includes pain and discomfort experienced at the time of the accident and any future suffering caused by the injury and its treatment. Damages for pain and suffering depends on the extent and duration of the crush injury – the more pain in the present and future, the higher the compensation.
You cannot work out the value of general damages simply by adding up bills and receipts, and determining the amount is subjective and open to interpretation. People experience crush injuries in different ways, and the Courts recognise this fact. Compensation will be calculated on the basis of your individual experience, such as the loss of your ability to enjoy hobbies and other recreational pursuits, and the emotional distress caused by the accident.
General damages can come either in the form of a Court judgement or, more usually, agreed in an out-of-court settlement between the parties. To come up with a fair settlement, solicitors, insurance companies and the Courts refer to document known as the Judicial College Guidelines. The Guidelines recommend an upper and lower limit for various types of crush injuries, by reference to the level of compensation awarded in similar cases.
Expenses that are directly related to the accident and the injury are known as special damages. They include such items as medical treatment costs, lost income, travel costs, property damage and the cost of medical aids. You can also claim for adaptations that you need to make to your home such as installing wheelchair ramps or shower rails.
In more serious crush injury claims, you may have a claim for future, as well as past, loss of income. This will be the case where you are unable to return to work as a result of your injuries, or are unable to work the same number of hours or at the same salary level. In this scenario, an employment consultant may be asked to write an expert report to determine precisely what work you are able to do in the future.
Special damages can be calculated with reasonable specificity but they must be documented or they cannot be included in your claim. It is therefore important that you gather all your medical bills from treatment providers, wage slips, and receipts for purchases, replacements and repairs.
Our crush injury accident specialists will be able to give you a rough idea of the value of your claim when you first contact us with details of your accident. That estimate will be revised as the medical evidence is collated and we get a better understanding of your injuries.
Who pays the compensation for crush injury claims?
The insurer of the person liable for the injury usually settles the claim. For example, the employer’s insurer will pay the compensation if the crush injury was sustained in a work accident. A driver’s insurer will pay the compensation if the injury was sustained on the road.
Sometimes, we may not be able to trace the at-fault person. This might happen if a negligent driver flees the scene of the accident without leaving their details, or if a former employer goes bust.
In most cases, it will still be possible to make a compensation claim. Various statutory bodies have been established to compensation the innocent victims of accidents where the at-fault person cannot be sued. This includes the Motor Insurer’s Bureau (for the victims of uninsured or untraced drivers) and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (for the victims of crime.) Where an employer has gone bust, their insurer is still obliged to settle the compensation claim in some circumstances.
If you are not sure who the at-fault person is, please contact us and let us carry out some investigations for you. We will be able to tell you very quickly whether a claim can be made.
How long do you have to make crush injury claims?
As with all personal injury claims, you have three years from the date of the crush injury to make a compensation claim. Claims can sometimes be made outside the three-year deadline but the Courts will only allow this in exceptional circumstances. If you are close to the deadline, please contact us to find out whether you can make a claim.
Family members can contact us for advice if their loved one has been seriously injured and they are unable to start the claim on their own.
Claims brought on behalf of minors can be made at any time before the child’s 18th birthday. The child then has a further three years to make their own legal claim i.e. until they are 21.
If you or a loved one has suffered crush injuries in the workplace, on the road, or in a public place, we can help. Our No Win, No Fee funding arrangement means that you do not pay a penny if you lose your case, so you don’t have to worry about the financial burden of making a claim at this difficult time.
and answer any questions you might have about the legal process.

Chef John Besh offers up a satisfying Louisiana-inspired meal.
This is one of the most satisfying shrimp dishes. You needn't cook the shrimp long; make them in batches and be sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't overcook.
1. For the grits, bring 4 cups water with the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Slowly stir in the grits, then reduce the heat to low; stir constantly to make sure the grits don't stick to the bottom. Simmer until all the water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Stir in the butter and mascarpone. Remove the grits from the heat and place a piece of plastic wrap on the surface to keep a crust from forming.
2. For the shrimp, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Season the shrimp with Creole Spices and salt and sauté them in batches until they begin to brown but are not yet cooked all the way through; set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the andouille, garlic, shallot, peppers, and thyme until they become aromatic, about 5 minutes. Add the Shrimp Stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the butter and reduce the sauce until it's nice and thick, 3–5 minutes.
4. Return the shrimp to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, tomatoes, and chives.
5. Spoon a heaping 1⁄4 cup of grits into the center of each of 6 large bowls. Arrange 6 shrimp in each bowl, spoon sauce around them, and garnish with chervil.
Using the following spice blend is truly the easiest way to consistently achieve the flavors I grew up with. Once made, the spices will last for six months in an airtight container.
Mix together the celery salt, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and allspice in a bowl. Transfer the spices to a clean container with a tight-fitting lid, cover, and store.
1. Heat the canola oil in a large pot over moderate heat. Cook the onion, celery, carrot, leek, and garlic, stirring often, until they are soft but not brown, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the shrimp shells, bay leaf, thyme, peppercorns, and 3 quarts of water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and gently simmer, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until the stock has reduced by half, about 2 hours.
3. Strain through a fine sieve into a container with a cover. Allow the stock to cool, cover and refrigerate, then skim off the fat. Freeze the stock in small batches to use later.
