Get Out There: The Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Price: $99
The Fitbit Flex is a great way to get on the road to more movement. It's a small, unobtrusive band designed to be worn on the wrist that comes in a variety of colors and sizes. Essentially, the Fitbit Flex is a pedometer that tracks the number of steps you take and how that activity stacks up to specific goals you set in advance. Wear the waterproof Fitbit all day and all night (you'll need to charge it about once a week), and it tracks how much you move and even how well you sleep. Tap the device when you're going to sleep and after you wake up to track the hours; it judges the quality of your sleep based on your movements.
Everyday tasks, such as mowing the lawn or running to catch the bus, count toward your daily goal. The Flex syncs wirelessly to a computer or smartphone.
Price: $129.99
Like the Fitbit, the Jawbone UP is a small wristband that tracks movement via a built-in accelerometer. The Jawbone UP app tracks movement and resting patterns as well as food intake. The UP also features a timer to provide an overall picture of how many calories you've burned.
Unlike the Fitbit Flex, Jawbone's UP can't sync wirelessly—you have to plug it into your iOS or Android device to download its data. However, where the Flex is relatively stiff, the UP has a flexible, wrap-on design.

Back from vacation. Moved back to Germany. Now back to getting Intevation running. Anybody got work for a bunch of scientific free software developers.
Back from vacation. Moved back to Germany. Now back to getting Intevation running. Anybody got work for a bunch of scientific free software developers.
Found two little python bugs. Can't play Go, I loose all the time.
Woohoo, my reply on raph's article got unintentionally shorter, but I'm writing too much anyway. Back to coding or lobbying for that matter. The FreeGIS CD to promote Free Data and Free Software GIS is coming along nicely. We should put up webpages with order forms for it soon. Made a Zope day on Saturday and a FFII day on sunday. Hacked hypermail yesterday. Finally a python script to create overview pages for the splitted archives. :-)
Advogato is slow for me today. Finally had time to do a GRASS day. Nice raster capabilities. Hit a couple of bugs on this university alpha machine. No time to fix them. Off playing Go again.
Uh, it's hard to get certified here. Peter finally gave me credit for helping out the FSF at the Atlanta Linux Showcase this year, thanks.
Advogate looks better each day. I wonder if I get certified by someone sometimes or if somebody reads what I am writing here.
Idea for this morning: write pysed and pyawk. Would enable people to type less and get the same functionality of awk and sed with only learning and using the python regular expressions and power. Standardisation rules. <small>But know daily duties take over...</small>
Just new to Advogato. I like the idea, because I had a similiar one. :-) The Layout of the pages in not good enough yet here. But I guess Raph will improve it over time.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

Stir-fry sauce is available in many flavor variations from sweet-and-sour to teriyaki. Use your favorite to make this nutritious supper dish. If you don't have stir-fry sauce, try bottled sweet-and-sour sauce instead.
Form the rice and lentil patties (do not cook) up to 24 hours ahead of time, and store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
Nuts are easier to chop when they are warm. Heat them either in a microwave oven on High for 2 to 3 minutes or in a conventional oven at 325° for 5 minutes.

About Egg Retrieval
Scientists working to perform research cloning require large numbers of women's eggs for their efforts. Egg retrieval is invasive, time-consuming, uncomfortable, andmost importantputs women at risk of significant adverse reactions.
In order to procure eggs, researchers give women hormonal drugs to first "shut down" and then "hyperstimulate" their ovaries to produce more eggs than normal. These eggs are then surgically extracted.
Egg retrieval for assisted reproduction has been conducted for several decades, but there is inadequate data on its risks. Follow-up studies on long-term risks are particularly lacking; those that do exist are inconclusive.
Short-term reactions to one commonly used "shut-down" drug include severe joint pain, difficulty breathing, chest pain, depression, amnesia, hypertension, and asthma. The drugs used to stimulate multiple egg production can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which is often a mild reaction but which can become serious enough to require hospitalization and, rarely, to cause death.
Some women's health advocates and others have questioned whether researchers should ask women to expose themselves to these risks, especially in light of the early and speculative stage of cloning research. Proposals to pay women to provide eggs for research remain controversial, as this practice could tempt economically vulnerable women to take risks they otherwise would avoid.

W5 Slovakia: Nabiev, Sichtman Win Tournaments
- Written by Rian Scalia
W5 held their second event of the year yesterday, branching outside of Russia to Bratislava, Slovakia where they held two tournaments to crown two new champions. The two tournaments consisted of four fighters each and took place at 71kg and 75kg respectively, with the winners becoming W5 champions.
At 71kg, the field was set up with Hysni Beqiri vs. Vladimir Konsky and Alim Nabiev vs. Tevfik Sucu. Beqiri vs. Konsky was up first and was a non-stop fight. Beqiri hit Konsky with everything including the kitchen sink but Konsky still managed to valiantly fight back for the entire fight. Konsky had the more diverse attack while Beqiri, outside of a few kicks, only threw punches, seemingly trying to save his legs for the final. Beqiri was awarded a unanimous decision but couldn't continue to the finals due to injury, so Konsky moved on to the finals despite the loss.
The other 71kg semi final saw 18 year old Alim Nabiev put in another clinical performance as he schooled Tevfik Sucu and moved on to the finals with a unanimous decision win.
At 75kg, the semi finals saw Vladimir Moravcik fight Artem Litvinenko and Remy Bonjasky pupil Darryl Sichtman fight Konstantin Serebrennikov. Litvinenko hung with Moravcik for a short period of time, but eventually Moravcik took over by the second round and stopped Litvinenko with body punches, moving on to the final. In the other semi final, Serebrennikov was competitive with Sichtman, but it was the two knockdowns Sichtman scored that sealed the fight for him. Sichtman would land some perfectly placed and timed punches that sent Serebrennikov down.
So with the finals set, Alim Nabiev faced Vladimir Konsky at 71kg. It was almost identical to Nabiev's semi final fight, as he schooled Konsky over three rounds and was never close to being in danger. Nabiev won a unanimous decision and earned himself the W5 71kg title.
In the 75kg final, it was another action packed fight between Darryl Sichtman and Vladimir Moravcik. Moravcik was the much more experienced fighter and had much bigger names on his resume, but Sichtman overcame that and had Moravcik seemingly out on his feet at the end of the third round, and damaged from repeated low kicks. After three rounds the judges declared an extra round but Moravcik was unable to continue, therefore giving the win to Darryl Sichtman. Sichtman got the biggest win of his career to date and became the W5 75kg champion.
71kg semi final: Hysni Beqiri def. Vladimir Konsky by unanimous decision.
71kg semi final: Alim Nabiev def. Tevfik Sucu by unanimous decision.
75kg semi final: Vladimir Moravcik def. Artem Litvinenko by KO (Body Punches) in Round 2.
75kg semi final: Darryl Sichtman def. Konstantin Serebrennikov by unanimous decision.
81kg: Pavel Turuk def. Marcel Jager by unanimous decision.
55kg: Alena Hola def. Ekaterina Vandaryeva by unanimous decision.
67kg: Maxim Shalnev def. Rudolf Durica by split decision.
71kg final: Alim Nabiev def. Vladimir Konsky by unanimous decision.
75kg final: Darryl Sichtman def. Vladimir Moravcik by TKO (Gave Up/Corner Stop) after Round 3.

Town Square
New Era for our Schools?
Original post made by Optimist, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Mar 26, 2007
Math, Art, Theater, Science, Engineering, Mandarin, Hindi, International Baccalaureate, Latino Culture, Global Development, Agriculture, Craft and Construction, Culinary Arts, Film and Video, Sports - just to name a few possibilities. Even better if all these programs could cross-pollinate ideas and exchange students around vibrant centers of excellence.
If we have a choice, let's discourage our school board from defensively approving a controversial, single elementary strand. Instead let's encourage them to open up the system and support our kids with a rich web of community-based charter schools.

Wow, with all these charter schools, PAUSD will also save money! Since PAUSD only pays the minimum amount for all students who attend charter schools, they can use the money to improve the infrastructure at existing schools. I guess, parents of children attending charter schools will have to make up the shortfall though.

So does this mean that the parents who want art, math, global development et al program can first use money from anonymous sources for a feasibility study, then when PAUSD votes no for an immersion program, we can then threaten an expensive charter school ($400K? for start up?) and the board will back pedal on their decision? Just wondering. I'm also just wondering why the parents who want their kids in a Mandarin Immersion program don't go to a private school? Aren't there already Mandarin language schools in the bay area?

Let's issue tuition vouchers. Each student who leaves PAUSD will directly save the district money, plus the additional facilities and infrastructure burden. That departing student would chose a school which would better suit that family's educational values. Instead of the endless bickering which paralyzes PAUSD from making any substantial changes, tuition vouchers would allow those who are not being well served to opt out of the status quo. Let self-interest determine how tuition funding should be allocated among competing schools.

Yes, turning PAUSD into a collection of individual school districts, each one specialized and customized, each with its own funding sources, staff, overhead board, policies, procedures, financial analysis, legal department, hiring, educational standards, is a wonderful idea - Because the charter school system has learned how to invent money.
And they've also discovered that the old fashioned notion of economies of scale is antiquated and out of date.
They have also entered the beautiful dreamlike state which leads them to believe a charter school outperforming poor education in a failing district, is just as likely to occur as a charter school outperforming excellent results in an excellent school system.
In fact for the sake of experimentation, lets go out and chop PAUSD into pieces and give it a try.
If you are a tax payer or a property owner in PAUSD you should view this as a threat to your very livelihood and please write immediately to the PAUSD Board of education and tell them you expect them to fight to keep PAUSD in tact.
You should also write to your California legislative representatives and tell them that you expect them to repair the Charter School laws to prevent vultures from waltzing in and destroying well performing school districts because they set their sites on public dollars - which the laws have left unprotected.
The people who are pushing a charter are doing so precisely because it scares you - and that's what they hope for. So that you will cave in and give them what they want. Common 2-bit terrorist tactics.
Don't be tricked. Let them go do a charter and see just how easy it is for them to match PAUSD results. Lets see how many half baked parent schemes THEY are willing to endure to make every single one of their customers delightfully enriched and happy. I give them all of about 2 weeks after their charter approval before their excellent adventure turns into an excellent nightmare.
PAUSD Board of Education. Please fight it.

Parent, do curb the rhetoric if you can. I tend to agree with the thrust of your comments, both on the initial posting here and on the rumored MI charter proposal. Charters are a tough row to hoe, especially when the alternative is the good old PAUSD.
You also make a good point on whether the legislature anticipated that charters would be used to fund choice/enrichment in well-performing districts, not just alternatives in less well-performing districts. The wisdom of such a policy seems debatable to me.
But the strong words and name calling tend to polarize people and stifle discussion. I'm sure that's not what you intend.

I just came home from the board meeting. And can't sleep.I read the above comments and agree with most of them. I am against m.i. and a charter school here. And I would like the board to make a decision , stick to it and move on. They ask the staff who have already shown their biases and weaknesses with the Feas. Study! The charter school threat is just that. It would take a lot of work for the proponents to get it up and running. P. A. needs to stop working on this one issue and get back to all the others that have been neglected. There are many schools right now that teach Mandarin after school and on week ends, and this summer, more than that is the parents' responsibility. So, Ohlone students get a farm and now a language. Does not seem equitable to me. Please write to the Board and the papers. Maybe we should have another Hall Meeting.

Oh, yeah, we get a language so we can have a crowded schoolground and a distracted, overworked staff and even worse traffic jams. And for what? So we can house some kids whose parents have zero interest in the Ohlone philosophy. Let alone community.
So we can get Mandarin? Did anyone ask us whether we want Mandarin? Frankly, since it's not immersion, I'd rather see my kid learn an easier language. One where there's a possibility of being able to read it.
Okay, back to the school board meetings.

I'd like to see an even deeper and more detailed analysis of how likely it would be that a Charter School could be ratified, and a cost-benefit analysis prepared by an unbiased, qualified financial analyst, which is not the Superintendent or her staff.
Why would PACE not just start a charter school in Mountain View, which has the space and ther esources and the interest? At this point, ramming it down Palo Alto's throats by way of blackmail starts to look pretty vengeful.
I would not want to be on the Board at this point. They have a tough job choosing between two negatives. Except Camille, who is delighted because she got what she wants irrespective of financial analysis (which she stated doesn't matter to her) -- damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
This is bad business. PACE is blowing it in the hugest way. People will be looking for ways to challenge their program on equity and other grounds long after it starts up. What a waste of precious resources.

on Mar 28, 2007 at 8:20 pm
I understand your points and agree with you. I can't see m.i. using the Ohlone philosophy. But, where have the Ohlone parents been? Not at the board meetings. The Ohlone parents need to get involved before it is too late. It looks like m.i. is back at Ohlone's door. I don't think that immersion is necesary for young students, but I agree that parents should have a choice of languages. No other elementary schools have any languages. First we should focus on what is on the Strategic Plan, get a new superintendent, take a break, and then decide on languages. Great idea to go to the meetings!
Yes- I would also like the data analyzed by experts who are unbiased. It does make more sense that it be in an under-enrolled district such as Mountain View. And it has already been a waste of district resources. I guess not every one cares about that!

There have been Ohlone parents at the board meetings. Right after the Ohlone strategy was announced, I went to that board meeting and saw lots of Ohlone parents. Remember, the Ohlone thing was announced one day before the board meeting where it was discussed. We were then told the board was leaning against it 4-1.
One of the most active PAEE members, Becky Epstein, is an Ohlone parent whose spoken to the board several times.
Some Ohlone parents favor MI, of course. I've never met any, but a couple of people online have claimed they were from Ohlone and supported it.
I don't think it's sunk in--I mean no, means no, doesn't it?

The initial post confuses me. I don't think it would be great to turn a reasonably well-performing district into a cluster of cottage industries, encouraging overspecialization at the elementary school level. The early grades should be all about building a good foundation of basic skills and exposing all of our children to a broad range of experiences.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Its great if you're loaded with money and you want to create your own little kingdom with your own little bank roll for your own little kids. If you want to be a functioning member of a society who sees value in educating all kids, and leaving no kids behind, then you probably favor pooling resources and sending all kids to good, roughly equivalently good, schools to ensure all kids get the basics.
Even some people with big bank rolls see the value in excellent public schools. Realtors see it. Believe me, when the realtors in Palo Alto start seeing the PAUSD public school system erode (thanks to Grace, PACE, and their hired thugs (for-profit charter associations who are basically litigation machines), they'll feel it in their pocket books, and they'll start seeing the value real quick.

We'll all be a little less rich, but I can see worse things than having Palo Alto be more affordable for non-Google millionaires. I think the community has suffered from becoming more and more exclusively the province of the haves. I've known a lot of people who wanted to stay in PA and were forced out by housing prices.
Much, I think, of what makes Palo Alto such a nice place to live came from Palo Alto's community spirit--where people worked together to provide parks, libraries, local schools and programs. There were richer towns--i.e. Atherton--but it was the more middle-class Palo Alto that cared more about being a community.
I think the town lost something when it became not just a nice place to live, but a major status symbol. There was some of that before the dot-com boom, but that really kicked it over.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood

Ohlone Parent - I don't care about the property values either - I've lived here for 40 years, and I'm not going anywhere. All I'm saying is that when the school district starts taking a hit, we'll hear a bunch of people who DO care about property values start coming out of the woodwork.
And by the way, for those of you who have your ears perked up listenting for the '"R" argument, I'm not talking about 'there goes the neighborhood'. I'm talking about destruction of a valuable working school district, that offers alot of quality, choice and diversity, in favor of mini specialty schools, operated like a cluster of independent small businesses which (judging by the charter literature), have a hit or miss change of success.
I think the crowd that favors experimenting on PAUSD will receive a major dose of reality as soon as the business side of the equation kicks in. It doesn't make sense to deconstruct something that works for the community judging by almost all standards, in favor of something that works for a few, and makes the rest of it worse for everyone else.
It DOES however makes sense in communities where the schools aren't working and you can actually come in and make them better.
But you have to be operating on logic to see that side of the picture. You can operate on emotion and self interest and love the charter idea like crazy. I'm quite glad Grace will get to experience the Truth out there in the real world. Maybe she'll come around to just how good she might have had it in PAUSD before she destroyed it.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Mar 29, 2007 at 10:08 pm
I agree with you. The long-term costs of this are high. So much of the district's success has been the result of longterm civic-mindedness--where you don't pursue a particular goal at any cost.

"If we have a choice, let's discourage our school board from defensively approving a controversial, single elementary strand. Instead let's encourage them to open up the system and support our kids with a rich web of community-based charter schools."
Interesting idea, Optimist. But be careful what you wish for.
Charter schools can grow with demand, so they might siphon off PAUSD kids, a few at first, then more and more. If they want, they could take nonresidents but demand space in Palo Alto as they grow. If the charter schools are successful and become popular, they'll attract more and more PA residents, and pretty soon, PAUSD will have to close elementary schools due to lack of enrollment. Come to think of it, that would be good, because all those charters will need space.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Before we chat with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Sandra Robbins' novella collection, Alabama Brides, is:
booklovercb@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's meet novelist Debra Ullrick, author of The Unlikely Wife (Steeple Hill, Love Inspired Historical, January 2012).
Debra Ullrick is an award-winning Christian romance author. In addition to multiple full-length novels, her stories have been featured in several novella collections, one of which made the New York Times bestseller's list.
Debra is happily married to her husband of thirty-seven years and has one daughter. For over twenty-five years, they lived and worked on cattle ranches in the Colorado Mountains. She now lives in the Colorado flatlands.
Debra loves animals, classic cars, mud-bog racing, and monster trucks. When she's not writing, she's reading, drawing western art, feeding wild birds, and watching Jane Austen movies, COPS, or Castle.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--My heart ached something fierce, and I cried like a baby when a bird hit my window and died.
--I love perfume and wear it almost every day.
--I'm addicted to Sonic's cherry limeade drink and can't wait to get to the maraschino cherry at the bottom of the drink.
--Pink is my favorite color, especially fuchsia.
--Ever since I was little, I wanted a tiny chipmunk (squirrel type) for a pet.
For someone who's lived on cattle ranches and enjoys mud-bog racing, you're quite a girly-girl, aren't you? I like that dichotomy.
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of The Unlikely Wife.
The arrival of Michael Bowen's bride, married sight unseen by proxy, sends the rancher reeling. With her trousers, cowboy hat and rifle, she looks like a female outlaw—not the genteel lady he corresponded with for months. He's been hoodwinked into marriage with the wrong woman!
Selina Farleigh Bowen loved Michael's letters, even if she couldn't read them herself. A friend read them to her, and wrote her replies—but apparently that "friend" left things out, like Michael's dream of a wife who was nothing like her. Selina won't change who she is, not even for the man she loves. Yet time might show Michael the true value of his unlikely wife.
What is it about Selina that will make your readers care about her?
All her life, Selina Farleigh Bowen has been abominably judged because of her extreme poverty and outward appearance instead of her warm, caring, giving heart.
Oh, yes. You go right for our heartstrings with that.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Angelina Jolie . . .
. . . and Paul Walker.
Here's a hint for your well-to-do fans and loved ones: If you could have any one writing-related gift for Christmas this year, what would it be? The sky is the limit!
That my husband, who's been talking to a camera man for some major film producers, would announce that the camera man has finally found a producer who is going to film my story, The Bride Wore Coveralls.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
The Gladiator, by Carla Capshaw. It was filled with romance, the hero was super macho and smoking hot, and the whole spiritual theme of the book was amazing.
What are you working on now?
Groom Wanted, which is the sequel to The Unlikely Wife.
Where else can readers find you online?
www.debraullrick.com, Facebook, Shoutlife, Goodreads, and Twitter.
The book can be purchased at fine book stores and online via the following buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
Do you enjoy reading stories with emotional, real life situations or more of a "Calgon take me away" sort of romance?
Thank you, Debra, for visiting with us and telling us about your novel. Readers, Debra has offered to give a signed copy of her book to the winner of our drawing on Monday, November 28. To enter, leave a comment below in answer to Debra's question, above. "Please enter me" won't get you entered. Leave your email address, in case you win, like so: trish[at]trishperry[dot]com.

Radio One has reported its fourth quarter fiscal results, with net revenue up eight percent to $105.9 million, taking into account the consolidation of TV One. Also giving effect to the consolidation of TV One, station operating income was approximately $35.7 million, an increase of 0.6 percent from Q4 2011.
Radio One also reported operating income of approximately $14.7 million compared to an operating loss of approximately $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss in Q4 was approximately $17.2 million or $0.34 per share compared to net loss of $21.5 million or $0.43 per share, a year ago.
Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One's CEO/President stated, "I was pleased with our Fourth Quarter radio division performance; core radio revenues were up by 11.0% and we outperformed the markets in which we operate by 820 Bps. Normalizing for political revenues, Q4 was +2.9%. Adjusted EBITDA for the Radio Division increased 33% over prior year. Forward pacings for radio remain encouraging, with Q1 currently pacing up mid-single digits ahead of prior year. Fourth Quarter revenues from our Cable Television division increased 6.8% from the prior period, and we were able to absorb additional programming amortization expenses and severance costs, while still delivering approximately $40 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the full year. During the quarter, we reorganized our syndicated programming and syndicated programming sales effort under the experienced and capable management of David Kantor at Reach Media, and I look forward to seeing positive results from that initiative in 2013."

Guideline for Management of PostMeal Glucose in Diabetes 2011
Diabetes is the leading cause of death in most developed countries, and there is substantial evidence that it is reaching epidemic proportions in many developing and newly industrialized nations.
Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with the development of such complications as neuropathy, renal failure, vision loss, macrovascular diseases and amputations. Macrovascular complications are the major cause of death in people with diabetes. Furthermore, a strong association between poorly controlled diabetes and depression has been reported, which in turn can create significant obstacles to effective diabetes management.
Large controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that intensive treatment of diabetes can significantly decrease the development and/or progression of microvascular complications of diabetes. Furthermore, intensive glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases. There appears to be no glycaemic threshold for reduction of either microvascular or macrovascular complications; the lower the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), the lower the risk.
The purpose of the IDF Guideline for Management of Postmeal Glucose is to present data from reports that describe the relationship between post-meal glucose and the development of diabetic complications. Based on these data, recommendations for the appropriate management of postmeal glucose in type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been developed. Management of postmeal glucose in pregnancy has not been addressed in this guideline.
The recommendations are intended to assist clinicians and organizations in developing strategies to effectively manage postmeal glucose in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, taking into consideration locally available therapies and resources.
The Guideline is currently available to download in the languages displayed below. Click on the images to download the pdf version of your choice:

Print copies of the Guideline in the above languages can be ordered from the IDF Shop.

You are here
There are people in this world who have never celebrated Halloween and I am one of them. So when I went to the Skinful event I had very little idea of what to expect. In hindsight, you couldn't have even told me what to expect because it's all so unpredictable and quite honestly unexplainable! Coming from my perspective, this idea of dressing up in costumes is an "anything goes" type of situation giving people the freedom to lose their inhibitions (and their clothes- literally)! I arrived on a shuttle bus (couldn't drive there) to what looked like 15 acres of party, with tent after tent, lights, sounds and my biggest nightmare- WOODS! Yes this festival of sorts took place amongst the trees, down dark paths, rocky walkways and torch lit corners. Was I scared? YES! I was clinging to every familiar face I could find which was a challenge because it was dark and everyone was in a costume! I kept waiting to hear chainsaws and blood curdling screams. However none of that ever came to fruition. In fact, I spent the evening documenting some of my favorite costumes (I even saw someone costumed with stilts towering above the crowds from a distance) and dancing under the stars on illuminated dance-floors with laser light-shows creating patterns on the trees. Beautiful!
I did manage in all of the darkness to capture a few highlights in this short clip!
Don't forget to check out the Street Style gallery for Skinful and see my costume picks of the night!

just received the federation tank die-cast (thanx brit cit), the last die-cast i needed, (at least i think it;s the last die-cast i need , yo jeddah! when you ever gonna get around to shipping those die-cast, and epic sets anyway?) , where wuz i before i sooo rudely interuppted my own bad self
oh yeah, anyway, the detail and quality of the tank is dreck when compared with all the others the main cannon according to the movable action features indicated on the card is supposed to tilt up, it doesn't, the detail and fastening of the two side cannons is horrible (they look like two clothes pin stuck on with a rather huge i might add pin), and to really show that they didn't care, the frickin clothes pins (errr... i mean cannons) are a bland color of taupe plastic (everything else is the proper desert camoflouage color) that give the whole thing an apperance of being an unfinished product! and to top the whole thing off, when you open the hatch on top of the turret, it reveals an unfinished piece of metal, right below the hatch, i mena right below the hatch, like lookin' at a brick wall. so much for outfitting this guy with a an mm battle droid sticking out through the hatch.

© 1990, 1999, 2003, 2006, 2010 The State Bar of California. No part of this work may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any medium, without prior written permission.
This pamphlet was made possible, in part, through the volunteer efforts of the Insolvency Law Committee of the Business Law Section of The State Bar of California.
Yes, under certain circumstances. A creditor-the person or company that says you owe a debt-usually must go to court and win a lawsuit against you before taking your property. Let's say, however, you make a written promise to either pay your debt or give the creditor something you own. The item you promise to give is called the security, and the money you owe is called a secured debt. If you fail to pay a secured debt, the creditor usually can take the security.
Let's say you borrow money to buy a car and the car is the security. If you fall behind in your payments, the lender can repossess (take back) the car without going to court. The car must, however, be on public property when it is repossessed. And even if the car is repossessed, you could still wind up owing the lender money. Suppose, for example, you owe $8,000 on the car when it is repossessed and the lender sells the car at an auction for $7,000. You could be sued for the $1,000 that the lender is out-plus any money spent to repossess the car and sell it.
Companies that repair or store items also can take property from you without going to court. For example, if a shop cleans your rug and you do not pick it up and pay for the cleaning, the shop can keep the rug and sell it after a certain period of time.
Creditors or collection agencies-companies that try to collect payment for past due bills-cannot, by law, repeatedly call you on the telephone. It is also against the law for them to threaten you with harm or contact you at work if you have told them not to. And if you ask them, in writing, to stop contacting you, they must leave you alone. At that point, they can only contact you to inform you that they are filing a lawsuit. Be sure to keep copies of all correspondence.
Creditors and collection agencies are not supposed to contact your employer either, except to make sure that you are employed. And they cannot send you anything that is meant to look like a legal document if it is not.
If you are bothered in any of these ways, contact a consumer protection or law enforcement agency. Or you could seek a lawyer's help.
Yes, in some instances. For example, if your spouse obtains a necessity of life-such as food, clothing or medical care-and cannot pay for it, you can be forced to pay. This may be true for a former spouse, too, if you were not separated when your spouse got into debt.
In most cases, people under age 18 can get out of an agreement to buy something. If, however, you are an adult and you co-sign a contract or loan agreement for someone under 18 (or for anyone else, for that matter), you would be responsible for the debt. This means you have promised to make the payments if the other person fails to live up to the agreement.
What if you co-sign an agreement for someone who ends up filing for bankruptcy? The other person may not have to pay the debt, but you will.
In addition, you legally may have to pay certain debts, such as medical bills, for your minor child.
Try to settle the problem as soon as possible. If you get a bill for something that you didn't agree to buy, write to the creditor. Do the same thing if you don't believe you received everything for which you have been billed. Keep copies of all your letters.
If you can't work the situation out on your own, seek out a consumer protection agency. Look in the white pages of your telephone directory under "Consumer Complaint and Protection Coordinators." Or, call the state Department of Consumer Affairs toll-free at 1-800-952-5210 or contact them by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out who might be able to assist you with your particular problem. Or go to dca.ca.gov.
Or you may want to consult a lawyer (see #16), because most debts are based on a contract-a legally binding agreement that can be written or spoken.
In any case, take action immediately. It could turn out that you owe a debt and, if you do not respond, you could end up with serious money and legal problems.
Yes. If you don't pay your bills, you can end up with a bad credit rating, which is a report on your financial situation. Credit ratings are issued by credit-reporting agencies. These companies get information about your debts from your creditors, and they make their reports available to other creditors, employers and landlords.
A credit report includes such information as whether you pay your bills on time, have had a foreclosure, owe money as the result of a lawsuit or were convicted of a crime. Each piece of information stays in the report for a certain number of years. For example, a bankruptcy usually will be listed for 10 years.
What if a store refuses to give you a charge account because you have a bad credit rating? The store must give you the name and address of the credit-reporting agency that made the report, and the agency must let you see the report.
If you tell the agency that some of the information in the report is wrong, it must look into the matter. If the agency decides that its report is correct, you can explain your side of the story in writing. Then, anyone who checks your credit rating will see your explanation. If you ask, the agency also must send your explanation to anyone who received your credit rating for employment purposes in the last two years and to anyone else who received your rating within the last six months.
It is a good idea to check your credit report periodically for errors, signs of identity theft or anything else that might affect your credit rating. By law, you are entitled to receive one free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus each year. To order your free annual reports, call 1-877-322-8228 or visit the program's Web site at annualcreditreport
If you have a secured debt (see #1), the creditor can sue you for either the security or for the amount of money you owe or both. If you do not have a secured debt, you will be sued for the money you owe.
If the debt is $5,000 or less (up to $7,500 if the creditor is an individual), the creditor might decide to take you to small claims court. You cannot be represented by a lawyer in this court, but you can talk to one beforehand. For more information, see the State Bar pamphlet How Do I Use the Small Claims Court?
Lawsuits for larger amounts are filed in a higher court, where it is best to have a lawyer represent you.
In any event, if you receive a court summons because you are being sued, do not ignore it. If you do not respond within a certain time, you will lose the case automatically-and your property or bank accounts can be taken without notice.
As soon as you receive a summons, you should:
You can try to negotiate a settlement even after the suit has been filed, but you should do so only if you have responded first in writing to the summons.
It depends on the terms of the lawsuit. If the lawsuit demanded the return of a secured item, the creditor could get an order from the judge allowing a sheriff or marshal to take the item from you. Once this happens, your debt may be canceled.
If the suit demanded money and you do not pay the amount that the judge ordered you to pay, something you own could be attached (legally claimed as payment). The property-such as a car or bank account-would be about the same value as the amount of your debt. A car, for example, could be sold in order to pay the creditor. You may, however, be able to keep certain items (see #8).
A judge also can order your employer to withhold up to 25 percent of your take-home earnings to pay a debt. This is called a garnishment of wages.
If you lose a lawsuit, you also may lose some of your property. The law, however, lets you claim that some property is exempt, which means that it cannot be taken from you.
When you receive a notice that your property is being attached, you have 10 days to deliver a Claim of Exemption form to the sheriff or marshal. This form describes the property and explains why it legally cannot be attached. Most sheriff, marshal and court clerk offices have these forms.
The creditor can either accept your claim or challenge it at a court hearing. At the hearing, you must prove that the property is exempt. If you do not go to the hearing, you automatically lose the exemption.
You cannot file a Claim of Exemption if your debt is for unpaid federal income taxes or for a necessity of life such as food, shelter or medical treatment. These debts must be paid.
However, among other things, you and your spouse together can claim exemptions for:
In addition, you and your spouse each can claim exemptions for:
You could contact your creditors and ask for more time to make payments. You might ask, for example, if you can make a series of small payments over a period of time. If any creditor agrees to such an arrangement, write a letter confirming the agreement and keep a copy of the letter.
It might help to contact a credit and debt counseling agency as well. Such services can sometimes help people work out plans with their creditors. However, shop carefully for one that you believe gives good advice. And keep in mind that if you wind up filing for bankruptcy, you will be required to complete such counseling from an agency approved by the U.S. Trustee Program. (see #10).
Be careful about getting a debt consolidation loan to pay off your debts. If the interest (the money that lenders charge for loans) is too high, you may end up with a bigger problem. If you do get a loan, however, make sure all of the financial statements that you give the lender are true and complete.
It depends on your particular set of circumstances. You should seek an attorney's advice before making such a decision. Filing for bankruptcy will impact your credit and may not wipe out all of your debts. If your creditors, however, will not give you more time to pay off your debts and you have no other good options, it may be the best way to begin turning your situation around.
Before filing for bankruptcy, you will have to complete credit counseling with a U.S. Trustee Program-approved agency. To locate such an agency, visit the program's Web site at US DOJ (go to Credit Counseling and Debtor Education). Keep in mind that credit counseling is required even if there is no possibility of setting up a repayment plan. If you fail to obtain the credit counseling and file the certificate with the court, your bankruptcy case will be dismissed without wiping out your debts. In addition, you will be required-once you have filed for bankruptcy-to complete a personal financial management course before any of your debts can be wiped out.
Yes. There are two types of personal bankruptcy: Chapter 13 and Chapter 7. Chapter 13 allows you to stop most debt collection in exchange for your promise to pay your available funds to creditors according to a repayment plan (see #15). You can file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the nearest United States Bankruptcy Court. The repayment plan allows you to pay your debts over five years. It also allows you to keep your property as long as you continue to make payments. And at the end of the repayment period, most of your debts can be canceled-even if you have not paid them in full-as long as you fully performed your plan.
In filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, however, you are not seeking a repayment plan (see #12). Instead, you are asking the bankruptcy court to cancel most of your debts because you don't have enough money or property to pay them off. Certain assets (assets that are not exempt) would be sold to pay off your creditors.
To file Chapter 13 or Chapter 7, you must pay a filing fee in bankruptcy court, either alone or with your spouse. If you meet certain criteria, you may be able to file without paying the fee. Contact a lawyer to determine whether you meet the criteria. A trustee is appointed when you file your case.
Once you have filed for Chapter 13 or Chapter 7, the creditors you had before you filed (except those seeking child or spousal support payments) cannot attach your salary or other possessions as payment without bankruptcy court permission. Those seeking payment of child or spousal support debts, however, can attach your salary and your possessions-even your exempt property-if they obtained a court order from the family court before you filed for bankruptcy.
If you can't work out any other reasonable way to pay your debts, you might consider filing for Chapter 7. It allows an honest debtor to make a fresh start by having a court discharge (in other words, cancel) most debts. Chapter 7 is a way to get out of debt when you owe more money than you can be expected to pay in a reasonable amount of time.
To qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, however, your income cannot exceed certain limits. If your income is greater than the median income in California, for example, you may not be eligible for this type of bankruptcy. You would be required to pass a "means" test to determine your eligibility. The purpose of such a test is to find out if you have enough income to participate in some sort of Chapter 13 repayment plan instead. If, after subtracting certain expenses and debt payments, your balance exceeds the monthly limit, you would not qualify for Chapter 7. For more detailed information, visit US DOJ (go to Means Testing Information).
If you do file for Chapter 7, your appointed trustee will sell any of your property that is not exempt (see #14) and distribute the funds among your creditors.
The law says that an employer can't fire you or refuse to hire or promote you because you filed for Chapter 7. Chapter 7 bankruptcy, however, can have a bad effect on your credit rating for a long time. Also, Chapter 7 may solve the problems you have now, but it won't protect you if you can't pay new bills. And keep in mind that your debts can be discharged through Chapter 7 only once in an eight-year period.
In filing for Chapter 7, you or your lawyer will have to file a number of forms and papers with the bankruptcy court. These include a list of your debts and property, plus information on your income and how you spend it. The court decides if you are better suited for Chapter 13 than Chapter 7 if requested to do so. In addition, your case can be dismissed.
Also, a judge can refuse to discharge all or some of your debts through Chapter 7. For example, if you run up a lot of bills on purpose or borrow money with a dishonest motive just before filing for bankruptcy, you may not be allowed to have your debts canceled.
No. Chapter 7 does not cancel:
Your debts also will not be canceled if a creditor proves that you lied about how much money you have, tried to hide property or committed fraud.
You may choose to reaffirm a secured debt. This means that you decide to pay the debt and keep the secured item, even though Chapter 7 would otherwise cancel the debt. If you do not reaffirm the debt and the contract allows repossession of the item because bankruptcy was filed, the item can be repossessed even if you are current on the payments.
Yes, probably. If the property is exempt (see #8 and below), it cannot be used to pay off your debts-unless you owed spousal or child support when you filed for bankruptcy. Even exempt property can be used to pay spousal or child support claims. When you file for Chapter 7, you can choose between two sets of exemptions. To claim these exemptions, you must have lived in California for at least two years before filing for bankruptcy. (Otherwise, you would have to use the exemptions available in the state where you used to live.)
One set of exemptions is the same as the one you can use to protect your property from creditors in a lawsuit (see #8). Homeowners generally prefer this set because it allows a much larger home equity exemption than the other set. For some examples of what you and your spouse can keep if you choose the second set of exemptions, see below (the dollar amounts will change in April of 2013):
You should consider a Chapter 13 plan if you can work out a way to pay off your debts (or at least part of them) over a period of time and still afford the reasonable costs of living. Also, this type of bankruptcy may be your only option if you are not eligible to file for Chapter 7 (see #12).
The law says you can use a Chapter 13 plan if you have a steady income. This means you work for wages, own a small business or receive pension, Social Security or other benefits. You also must owe less than $1,081,400 in secured debts, such as a mortgage, and less than $360,475 in other debts. (These dollar amounts will change on April 1, 2013.)
If you qualify for Chapter 13, you and your lawyer will have to work out a plan for the court to approve. The plan must show how you intend to pay all or part of your debts. Certain debts must be paid in full. (These include secured debts, federal or state income taxes incurred in the past three years, and the court, trustee and attorney fees involved in setting up and carrying out the plan.) The appointed trustee collects your payments and pays your creditors. And if your circumstances change-you lose your job, for example, or become ill-while you are paying off your debts through a Chapter 13 plan, you can ask the court to switch you to Chapter 7.
If you do not know a lawyer, ask a friend, co-worker, employer or business associate to recommend one. Or, call a local State Bar-certified lawyer referral service. For an online list of certified lawyer referral services, visit the State Bar's Web site at Calbar. To hear a recorded message that will provide you with the phone numbers of certified services in your county, call 1-866-44-CA-LAW (442-2529). If you are out of state, call 415-538-2250. Or check the Yellow Pages of your telephone directory or contact your local bar association.
State Bar-certified lawyer referral services, which must meet minimum standards established by the California Supreme Court, can assist you in finding the right lawyer for your particular problem. Most of these services offer half-hour consultations for a modest fee.
Attorneys who are members of State Bar-certified lawyer referral services must carry insurance, agree to fee arbitration for fee disputes, meet certain standards of experience and be State Bar members in good standing.
Lawyer referral service fees do vary. Don't forget to ask whether there is a fee for the referral or initial consultation. And if you decide to hire a lawyer, make sure you understand what you will be paying for, how much it will cost and when you will be expected to pay your bill.
The State Bar also certifies "specialists" in bankruptcy law and seven other legal areas. To become a State Bar-certified specialist, a lawyer must show that he or she has extensive experience and tested ability in that field of law. In addition, the bar accredits certification programs of private certifying organizations in a variety of legal areas, including consumer bankruptcy law and creditors' rights law. Keep in mind, however, that there are lawyers with extensive experience and expertise in their legal fields who simply do not seek certification. For an online list of State Bar-certified specialists, visit California Specialist (go to Specialist Search). Or call the State Bar's Legal Specialization Program at 415-538-2120.
What if you do not have enough money to pay for legal advice? You may belong to a "legal insurance" plan that covers the kind of services you need. Or, if you have very little income, you might qualify for free or low-cost legal help. Check the white pages of your telephone directory for a legal services program in your county. (California's legal services Web site-LawHelpCalifornia-can help you locate a local program and provide you with additional resources as well.) You also could ask your local bar association if its State Bar-certified lawyer referral service offers free legal advice to those with little income.
