I was hit by car (as a pedestrian) just over a month ago. I wasn't seriously hurt- just some scrapes and bruises and a nasty bump on the head. I was taken to the emergency room at the time, and followed up with my doctor a few days later. They did a CT scan- my brain is fine. The problem is that my head still hurts. There is still a bump at the top of my forehead and the upper right half of my head hurts all the time with a sort of dull ache. Nothing I can't take some advil and ignore for a little while, but it hasn't gone away and I am getting frustrated. Also, I keep getting these random jolts of serious pain. There will just be a flash of pain in a line along my head and forehead, through the area with the bump. It will hurt for a few seconds, stop, and then do it again a few minutes or hours later. It's always a surprise, and it's driving me nuts! Also, it can't be healthy to be taking this much advil for so long. Is this normal? Should I do something? What?

These windows are too high to reach without a ladder that extends. I thought maybe there is something out there that will help, as there is for changing high light bulbs.

Powers like:
flying, teleporting, controlling fire, moving objects with your mind, strength, reading thoughts, being flexible, invisiblity.. etc

Pretty much think of xmen movies, sky high, fanastic four, justice league when thinking of different powers.
Don't forget to explain "Why?"

I would like to have a teleport power, over long distances. I then would'nt need a car to get places. I would always be on time everywhere. Why not flying? I would'nt want to freeze in the middle of atlantic ocean, flying to Europe :)

Judge: Day laborers' rights violated
Rules civil trial for damages can proceed against men who attacked Mexicans in 2000
BY ALFONSO A. CASTILLO
STAFF WRITER

February 12, 2005


A federal court judge has ruled in favor of two Mexican day laborers who say their civil rights were violated when they were brutally beaten by two white men in Shirley in 2000.

In the decision, handed down Thursday in Central Islip, U.S. District Judge Sandra Feuerstein ruled that a civil trial on the facts of the case is unwarranted because of the criminal convictions in 2002 of Christopher Slavin and Ryan Wagner in the attack. A civil trial on the amount of damages the Farmingville laborers may be entitled to is expected to begin later this month.

Feuerstein ruled that the defendants cannot dispute "that they conspired to, and did in fact, assault and batter plaintiffs with dangerous instruments, and that they had the requisite intent to commit the crimes charged."

Slavin, 33, of Hicksville, and Wagner, 24, of Maspeth, are serving 25-year prison sentences for the attack, in which the two men, posing as contractors, lured Israel Perez, 24, and Magdaleno Estrada, 33, to an abandoned Shirley warehouse where they beat both with a post hole digger and stabbed Perez with a knife.

In the suit, filed in 2001, the laborers claimed their attackers deprived them of their right to the same security enjoyed by white people, conspired to create a climate of fear within the Latino communities, and deprived them of their rights to free speech, free assembly and free association under the First and 14th amendments.

Slavin's Huntington attorney, Robert Del Col, could not be reached for comment. Wagner's attorney, Thomas Liotti, of Garden City, did not return a call for comment.

Although the civil suit asks for $66 million, Fred Brewington, a Hempstead attorney representing the laborers, acknowledged Slavin and Wagner probably have "very little" assets to go after.

"This case is not about money. It's about something much more tangible than dollars and cents," Brewington said at a Mineola news conference Friday. "People have a right to come to this country and not be subjected to abuse or beatings based on their language, the color of their skin or their national origin."

Estrada has returned to Mexico and is not expected to testify at the trial. Perez, who now lives in California, plans to return to Long Island to testify. Brewington said he spoke to Perez following the judge's decision and said "he was very happy that there was some sense of justice through the system."

Feurstein's decision also formally dismissed a class action claim filed by the laborers on behalf of "all other Mexican/Chicano Day Laborers and/or Latino Day Laborers similarly situated."

In addition to Slavin and Wagner, that claim was filed against several groups alleged to have helped create an environment of intolerance toward immigrants, including the Long Island-based Sachem Quality of Life. In 2002, a judge dismissed the groups from the suit.

My cat drinks by dipping her paw into the water and then licking the water off her paw. It is very odd. Cute, but odd. I give her clean water and there are two different bowls in two different areas of the house, but she does this at both. Any ideas why she does this?
