Little Circus
The boutique Little Circus, pretty much blows my socks off, it is incredibly charming and unique. Aren't the patchwork radishes and onions by Sian Keegan remarkable?
I also like the new items added to their collection including the Darling Clementine cards, Toby car, Numbers book, and Enzo Mari panels.

Save Lives: More Caution, Less Speed
Labels:
car crash
Yet another life is tragically lost on the road and once again, car accidents proved to not discriminate against its victims. Beth Smith, the wife of PGA Tour Player Chris Smith was killed and his two children grievously injured last June 22, 2009 in a car crash in Indiana.
It was reported that Beth Smith and their two teenage children, Abigail and Cameron were returning from a trip from Toledo, Ohio, when their SUV collided with a Greyhound bus transporting a Canadian semipro football team.
Police said that the SUV lost control in the passing lane on Interstate 69, over corrected and crossed the median into the northbound lane.
The crash killed Beth and Abigail and Cameron Smith, were listed in critical condition at Fort Wayne's Lutheran Hospital. About 12 passengers on the bus were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
94 percent of the 10.6 million vehicles involved in motor vehicle crashes in 2007 are passenger cars and light trucks (pickups, vans, and utility vehicles).
A 1995 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study showed that swerving into another occupied lane account for 13 percent of all fatal crashes while turning left and colliding with an oncoming vehicle comprise 9 percent of traffic fatalities.
While statistics show that the Smith’s choice of vehicle as well as the conditions surrounding the accident that death and injury are almost a surety— motor vehicle related deaths are still considered as the most preventable deaths.
A little more caution and less speed could have avoided the Smith’s fatal crash. Loss of control of one’s vehicle is easily one of the leading causes of car crashes and most of this boils down to human error and driver error.
Navigating on freeways and intersections require the driver’s utmost concentration because of the sheer number of vehicles as well as the presence of stops, turns, and lanes.
A little more caution and a lot less speed could save countless lives. Cameron and Abigail have lost their mother, and everybody else is at the risk of losing beloved family members because of a driver’s mistake.

The Loss and Liabilities of the King of Pop
“Like a comet blazing through the evening sky, gone too soon…”
The King of Pop, Michael Jackson is dead. News have shocked and deeply saddened fans across the world as the fifty year old music icon was found not breathing and in a coma when emergency paramedics arrived.
His personal physician was apparently trying to resuscitate him. Jackson was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where attending doctors tried to revive the musician for over an hour. It was announced that he died of a cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest is an abnormal heart rhythm that stops the heart from pumping blood to the body. It can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems.
The news came as a shock to everyone as Jackson was busy preparing for his comeback. He was reportedly in a healthy physical condition after a medical screening and was rehearsing for a series of shows in London's O2 Arena
The concerts had been scheduled to kick off July 13 all of which have been booked and sold out.
Even while the whole world mourns the loss of such a wonderful talent, a lot of questions still remain up in the air.
Jackson has three children, Prince Michael 7, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 12, and daughter Paris Michael Katherine, 11. At the time he died, he was also deeply in debt which is estimated to be around $400 million.
The massive debt is attributed to his years of excessive spending and little work. He has not toured since 1997 or released a new album since 2001, but continued to live an opulent lifestyle, spending $30 million more annually than he was earning.
Jackson has also amassed a debt of unpaid wages, lawsuits and unpaid keep on Neverland Ranch. Technically, it’s going to be a legal nightmare to find out what’s going to happen to Michael Jackson’s assets and liabilities as well as possible contractual obligations.
Under the laws of contract, excuses for non-performance is as follows: mistake, misrepresentation, frustration of purpose, impossibility, impracticality, illegality, unclean hands, and unconscionability.
The death of Michael will doubtless ripple through the industry. His massive debt will also take much, if not most of his fortune and estate.
He may have found peace in his sudden rest but for his family, handlers, and associates, his death is only the beginning.
Michael the Moonwalker and the man who had magic with music may have gone too soon but everything he’s left behind, from music to memories and everything else in between will remain.

Hit and Run Driver Caught and Charged for Biker’s Death
Labels:
bike accident attorney
Remember Jim Gafney, the biker for a cause, who died in a hit and run accident? Well, the good news is that the driver was already caught and properly charged.
Attorney John Hudspeth of the Clinton County State said that Leon K. Marcum was in jail on a $100,000 bail. Hudspeth further said that investigation is on-going on Marcum’s blood–alcohol level. Moreover, the possibility of charging the latter of felony driving under the influence was high.
Police withdrew previous charges for misdemeanor DUI and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident pending review of all details of the case.
Gafney was a retired computer engineer who bike across country to protest government bailouts. He was gathering signatures to object to tax reforms and cuts of the Obama administration. But his noble pursuit for change was put on an abrupt halt upon his death.
With the arrest of Marcum, justice slowly becomes clear for Gafney’s loved ones. Surely, Gafney’s death would not be just an addition to numerous unsolved hit and run cases. The aid of a bike accident attorney would certainly make the case reach a favorable conclusion.

Wrongful death in police brutality cases
During our time helping people in Texas litigate their disputes against the police departments, we have found that, in many instances, police brutality leads to wrongful death of the victims. In these cases, there may be criminal charges involved but also, there are civil liabilities that attach with the wrongful actions of the police departments.
To handle a wrongful death case against the police department, a violation of constitutional law (by the department itself) has to happen; otherwise, the individual cop would be personally liable for the actions, which would create the criminal liability spoken off above, but would leave the family members stranded without compensation.
Our law firm has successfully litigated numerous cases against police departments, including wrongful death cases. We are here to help the little people against the big gigants, that no one else is helping.
When you contact us, your case would be personally reviewed by Mr. Baez and would be handled with respect and dignity by our staff. Although many other attorneys will see the case through, if needed, Mr. Baez will take your case to trial. See what others are saying about Mr. Baez here.
We are San Antonio litigation attorneys that care about your legal needs.

UCLA lab Trainee Dies, Family Criticizes Investigation
Labels:
burn injuries
,personal injury lawyer
People dealing with dangerous chemicals and substances must have sufficient training in handling the same. For trainees or apprentices, strict supervision is necessary. Moreover, equipment that would be used in the experiment, procedure or process must be functioning properly.
Improper or unsupervised handling of hazardous chemical may result to accidents such as fire and burn. In a tragic incident that happened at UCLA, an unsupervised trainee suffered severe burn injuries when an experiment gone badly.
Sheri Sangji, a staff research assistant at UCLA, died of burn injury eighteen days after an experiment with air sensitive chemicals burst into flames. Shanji was neither wearing a protective lab coat nor supervised at the time of the accident.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) cited UCLA for three violations and ask to pay a fine of $3, 185 for each violation. The penalty was imposed upon finding that Sangji was improperly trained and not wearing protective clothing when the accident happened.
Dissatisfied with the findings, Sangji’s family appealed alleging that the violations should be considered “willful” and “repeat” thereby increasing the penalty to $70,000 each. Moreover, they also claimed that the state board failed to investigate regarding the safety of the equipment used or method used in the experiment.
Burn injuries as a cause of death are painful and horrific. This must be the reason why families of burn victims partake on a legal battle to seek justice. A wrongful death case may be filed against the school and all others who might be responsible for it.
A personal injury lawyer would be helpful in alleviating the pain and suffering of burn victims and their families by pursuing a case against them. Though filing a case would never make things normal, at least parties at fault could be taught a lesson.

Billionaire Swindler
Texan billionaire Sir Allen Stanford has surrendered to the US authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest on criminal charges - BBC reports. Stanford, 58, was charged by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Februar 2009 with fraudulently selling $8 billion in certificates of deposit with improbably high interest rates from his Stanford International Bank Ltd (SIB), headquartered in Antigua.
SEC spokesman Kevin Callahan said that Stanford and his two co-defendants, James Davis, SIB's chief financial officer, and Laura Pendergest-Holt, chief investment officer of a Stanford affiliate, had surrendered their passports in keeping with a judge's order.
Now the billionaire financer has refused to talk to US regulators investigating his alleged fraud, and court documents show that Sir Allen pleaded the Fifth Amendment - the right to withhold potentially self-incriminating evidence.
In an interview with ABC earlier this year he insisted no money was lost by customers dealing with his financial services companies.
"If it was a Ponzi scheme, why are they finding billions and billions of dollars all over the place?" he said at the time.

It happened so fast and I am super excited ... next month I am going to France! I will be doing some independent travel (I am going to miss my husband and daughter like crazy) in Paris and then meeting up with my friend Stephanie to help her design and furnish their La Maisonnette home that they are renovating and preparing to rent out. Their house is that gorgeous home below the castle in the photo above... dreamy huh? (Check out her posts... it is so exciting to see the whole renovation process, and I will keep you posted when it is available.) She just told me that the castle is in the movie Ever After, and the town is in the movie Chocolat, how cool is that? It is going to be quite the adventure, and I will be sure to show you lots of highlights, especially since photos will probably be my main souvenir. I would LOVE some tips on where to go in Paris, and if you are familiar with Bordeaux and places near Beynac that would be fabulous too. How many of you have traveled independently internationally?

Picking Up the Pieces of Air France Crash
Labels:
plane crashes
Piece by piece, the tragic crash of Air France jetliner is painting a grim picture what happened.
Although French investigators still have no clue on what brought the plane down, with more than 400 pieces of debris recovered despite the unfavorable conditions, they appealed for patience as to determining the cause as Air France crash is one of the worst situations ever known in an accident investigation.
Recently, experts have also revealed that autopsies show that the recovered bodies of the victims had fractures in the legs, hips and arms. The fact that some were found with little to no clothing along with the large pieces of wreckage pulled up from the Atlantic strongly suggest the plane broke up in the air.
A former forensic expert at the U.S National Transportation Safety Board said intact bodies with multiple fractures and large pieces of the aircraft are a good indicator of a midflight break-up.
According to Jack Casey, an aviation safety consultant in Washington, D.C. said that the lack of clothing is significant in in-air break-ups. He confirmed that multiple fractures are consistent with mid-air break-up and that most victims would have been dead before hitting the water.
An explosion is still not ruled out as the crash’s cause and the plane’s flight data, voice recorders and black box are still missing.
The mystery surrounding Air France is enough to strike fear in the heart of many plane commuters. About 2.5 billion passengers board an airplane each year and while 90% of all plane crashes are survivable, the unfortunate 10% have a fate worse than death or is simply, death.
Air France should be a lesson especially to Trans-Atlantic flight providers that they owe their passengers extreme diligence and care since they hold the lives of so many people in their hands.
One fatal pilot mistake, one neglected airplane part or faulty maintenance, and everything will come crashing down.
The families left behind by the victims of Air France crash have lost much and for many, even the peace of having the bodies of their loved ones back is impossible. Air France will no doubt be facing a lot of lawsuits in the future.

Air France should be a lesson especially to Trans-Atlantic flight providers that they owe their passengers extreme diligence and care since they hold the lives of so many people in their hands.
One fatal pilot mistake, one neglected airplane part or faulty maintenance, and everything will come crashing down.
The families left behind by the victims of Air France crash have lost much and for many, even the peace of having the bodies of their loved ones back is impossible. Air France will no doubt be facing a lot of lawsuits in the future.

Robes recalled for catching on fire
Labels:
burn injuries
Product recall has bombarded the market place and created an alarm among consumers. The newest addition to the recall bandwagon was the Blair’s robe.
In April 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Blair LLC, of Warren, Pa. (Blair), announced the recall of 162,000 women’s full length Chenille Robes.
The recall was prompted by incidents of three robes catching on fire including one report of second-degree burns. After the recall was announced, Blair was informed of other incidents.
When the families of 6 people who had died of burn injuries came forward, CPSC and Blair re-announced the voluntary recall of the robes. Of the six new incidents, five of them were women who were cooking at the time of death. Of the five, three were in their 80s.
CPSC and Blair asked consumers to stop wearing the robes and return them in lieu of gift card.

Methods to Prove Facts in Maryland Personal Injury
Labels:
Evidence
I receive several calls each weeks from people who visit my web site. asking how they can prove their cases. What is evidence and what do they need to do. There are many ways to prove the facts necessary to establish your claim or your defense. Facts can be proven by eyewitnesses, who can be either or both friendly and/or adversarial/adverse witnesses. Facts may be proven through real and demonstrative evidence, tangible articles, photographs, models, maps, drawings, documents, or opinions of experts. Under certain circumstances facts may be established thru the opinions of non -experts and by the use of out of court statement. These out of court statements must qualify as hearsay exceptions. In some instances a fact may be admitted in pleadings or even in situations where an adverse party admits the fact in discovery by deposition testimony or admission or failure to deny in a request for admission under Maryland Rule 2-424. Facts may be proven by circumstantial evidence provided the evidence to establish the facts is not conjecture or speculation. The ability to see the relevant facts of a case coupled with the knowledge of how to secure the introduction of the facts into evidence is essential to proof of any case in court. Many attorney's create a formula for presentation. It consist of pre outlined time schedules for issuing subpoenas, securing witnesses under subpoena, issuance of discovery, seeking stipulations and identifying and securing expert witness testimony.

World in a bag
Labels:
kiddo
I love Muji and their lovely wooden cities in a bag toys and maybe the world in a bag has been around for a while, but I haven't noticed it until now. One of V's most favorite and entertaining toys is her little Germany, which a friend picked up for me in Paris. It is a perfect quiet time toy for the airplane, church... or any other time when silence is the goal. She has literally spent hours playing with it inquisitively.
I know you can pick up NYC in a bag here, but I don't know if they carry 'the world in a bag' or the other cities in the U.S. ... Anyone seen them online or in the New York City MUJI store?
Here are the other cities available...
Barcelona // London // Tokyo // Paris // Italy // Germany
