Frequently Asked Questions About Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Q: How does Chapter 7 liquidation work?
A: In a Chapter 7 case, the debtor must relinquish his or her nonexempt property to a bankruptcy trustee, who then converts the property into cash by selling it and pays the debtor's creditors from the sale proceeds. In return, the debtor receives a Chapter 7 discharge of certain debts if he or she is eligible for such a discharge, pays the filing fee, completes a personal financial management course and obeys the court's directives.
Q: Are all debtors automatically eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge?
A: No. A debtor may not be eligible for a discharge under Chapter 7 if he or she has been granted a discharge in a Chapter 7 case within the last eight years. Debtors who engage in certain fraudulent conduct related to the bankruptcy or their financial situation also may not be eligible for discharge. In addition, if the debtor refuses to answer questions or obey orders of the bankruptcy court, the court may refuse to grant a discharge.
Did you know that the right to bankruptcy is a constitutional right? It is also complex body of law, with certain state-by-state variances, and can be safely and efficiently navigated only with the assistance of an experienced advocate.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - An Overview
Both individuals and businesses may find themselves with more debts than they can pay when due. In such cases, filing for bankruptcy may provide a solution to what seems like an insurmountable problem. Bankruptcy provides two basic forms of relief: (1) liquidation and (2) rehabilitation, also known as reorganization. Most bankruptcies filed in the United States involve liquidation, which is governed by Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. An attorney can advise individuals and businesses about whether Chapter 7 is the right choice for them. The bankruptcy lawyer's goals are to help Chapter 7 debtors make a fresh start and ensure that creditors are paid.
Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act
On April 20, 2005, President Bush signed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), which instituted substantial changes to the Bankruptcy Code. Most provisions of BAPCPA became effective in October 2005. In an effort to exclude from Chapter 7 relief those debtors deemed to have the ability to pay at least some of the debts that would otherwise be discharged in Chapter 7, BAPCPA tightened the eligibility requirements for Chapter 7 and broadened the court's power to dismiss Chapter 7 petitions for "abuse."
Discharge Under Chapter 7
"Discharge" in the bankruptcy sense refers to clearing the debtor's slate of all, or most, past debts. Although many people expect that filing for bankruptcy will wipe out all of their debts, that is not always the case. Bankruptcy only discharges certain debts. The availability of discharge depends on the type of bankruptcy proceeding involved, who the debtor is and what type of debts the debtor has.
Exempt vs. Non-exempt Property Under Chapter 7
In a Chapter 7 liquidation case, the debtor must relinquish certain property to the bankruptcy trustee so that he or she can sell the property and use the proceeds to pay off debts. Property of the bankruptcy estate is broadly defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 11 U.S.C. § 541. The bankruptcy estate is technically the legal owner of all of the debtor's property and consists of all legal and equitable interests that the debtor has in property at the initiation of the bankruptcy case. Income that the debtor earns after the date of the petition is not included in the bankruptcy estate. Debtors, whether they are businesses or individuals, are often justifiably concerned about what property they will be allowed to keep and what they must give up.
Alternatives to Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The term "workout" is used to describe a non-bankruptcy negotiated modification of debt. More simply stated, a workout is an out-of-court agreement between a debtor and his or her creditors for repayment of the debts between them, which is negotiated without all the procedural complications and perhaps the stigma of the bankruptcy process.

Published on August 26th, 2011 | by Christian Cawley
Eagle-eyed BBC-philes may recognize the barely-noticed new Doctor Who companion Mels as former EastEnder Syd Chambers, love interest to fictional Whovian Bradley Manning.
She is of course the stunning actress Nina Toussaint-White, whose presence in the second half of Doctor Who Series 6 has been kept very quiet indeed. As you can see here, there are promotional images of her character, a friend of Amy and Rory, but very little else in the way of detail has been revealed.
Thanks to a single promo image that we featured on Kasterborous last week, we know she travels in the TARDIS in Let's Kill Hitler but somehow the BBC omitted to include her in any of the trailer clips. So, a new girl in the TARDIS who doesn't appear in the trailers?
Could she play a more important role in proceedings than we're currently aware? It's crushingly easy to speculate, but we're sure that if this character has been hidden from clips of one episode then the same could be true of episodes later in the series.
Interesting. Take it from us, she's one to watch…
4 Responses to Who's the Sexy New Companion?
Yes just what I was thinking. Ms Pond rather than Ms Bush, one hopes…
Or hopefully a completely new character
Oh, come on – this is not Melanie Bush. The name is different, and the actor is different – only the Doctor and the Master and Romana get to be done by different actors in this show. Now, ask me if Mels might be short for Melody, and bear in mind Alex Kingston is absent from clips related to Let's Kill Hitler too…

If you are a public figure and want to reduce your exposure, Friday is the day you pick for handing out less than flattering news. From the Montgomery Advertiser:
Country Crossing developer Ronnie Gilley pleaded guilty to 11 counts in an alleged conspiracy to bribe lawmakers to legalize electronic gaming in the state.
Gilley, you may remember, was the employer of Jay Walker, former chief of staff to House Speaker Glenn Richardson in Georgia – and a lobbyist here as well. Walker, too, has been charged with conspiracy and bribery. To continue:
Gilley agreed to cooperate with prosecutors and implicated fellow casino owner Milton McGregor in the alleged vote-buying scheme.
Gilley pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, six counts of bribery and four counts of money laundering.
Federal prosecutors agreed to drop 11 counts against the developer, but Gilley could still face between 22-27 years in prison for the others, although the prosecutors could ask the judge to reduce the sentence because of his cooperation….
Gilley owned controlling interest in Country Crossing near Dothan, and McGregor had controlling interest in VictoryLand in Shorter, according to Gilley's deal with prosecutors. They sought to influence legislators to pass a Senate bill that would tax and regulate electronic gaming as the battle to shut down the casinos intensified.
This raw video, posted on YouTube, shows Walker's attorney, Susan James, indicating that Walker's case is headed for trial:
Said James:
"We had asked for a severance from Mr. Gilley, and this turn of events in our opinion gives us what we wanted, and that's to have a trial where responsibility can be placed where it should….."
James admitted that Walker's old boss intends to "substantially assist the government's effort to try to convict other people."
Another late Friday surprise came from the office of Gov. Nathan Deal, in a press release announcing appointments to state boards. It included this:
Kacy Cronan, Board of Public Safety: Cronan serves as the vice president of operations and sales for Gainesville Salvage and Disposal. Cronan is also the founder and managing member of KC Transport Services, LLC, and founder of Cronan Contracting in Clermont. He lives in Clermont with his wife, Mandy, and two sons. He graduated from North Hall High School.
Deal's announcement neglected to point out – and it was no doubt an oversight — that Kacy Cronan is the son of Ken Cronan, the governor's business partner in Gainesville Salvage and Disposal.
A fellow at the state Capitol who usually knows what he's talking sent a note via Facebook declaring that there's more to this 3-cent state tax increase that's about to hit every gallon of gasoline on May 1:
…[Y]ou missed the fact that the local option tax on motor fuel is also being adjusted which means that for most Georgians the tax (for 3 percent, counties) is actually going up closer to 5 cents per gallon. When the state adjusts the prepaid rate for the state sales tax they also adjust the prepaid rate for local option taxes on motor fuel. At 3% the locals will get 75 percent of the 2.8 state rate, which is added to the total increase.
Oh, the pain.
On Sunday, an open war broke out between anti-tax guru Grover Norquist and a GOP member of the Gang of Six – who was not U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss. From Politico.com:
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), arguably the most prominent fiscal conservative in the Senate, is declaring his independence from one of the country's leading anti-tax groups, Americans for Tax Reform – and its fiery founder, Grover Norquist.
Coburn, a member of the "Gang of Six" bipartisan group working on a deficit reduction plan, said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he'd favor a "net" increase in tax revenue if it didn't include hiking rates. He'd do so even if didn't include a dollar-for-dollar match in spending cuts he agreed to when he signed a 2004 pledge to Norquist's group.
"Which pledge is most important… the pledge to uphold your oath to the Constitution of the United States or a pledge from a special interest group who claims to speak for all American conservatives when, in fact, they really don't?" Coburn asked. "The fact is we have enormous urgent problems in front of us that have to be addressed and have to be addressed in a way that will get 60 votes in the Senate… and something that the president will sign."
"Where's the compromise that will save our country?" he asked. "This isn't about politics that is normal."
U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Savannah, wants to raise as much as $33 billion by auctioning off parts of the broadcast spectrum. From Larry Peterson and the Savannah Morning News:
U.S. Rep. John Barrow wants to raise up to $33 billion by selling off unused parts of the broadcast spectrum.
The Savannah Democrat would devote the government's share of the proceeds — broadcasters would get the rest — to shrinking the federal budget deficit.
He's wading into a high-stakes tug of war involving major industries — including some with influential Washington, D.C., lobbyists — and complicated technical issues.
University of Georgia telecommunications expert Michael Castengera says there's potential revenue from a sell-off, but probably not $33 billion.
And before it raises a penny, Castengera said, "there is going to be a political fight over it."
Among the likely combatants: The burgeoning cell phone industry, broadcasters, and manufacturers of multi-use electronic gadgetry.

Using Good Friday as cover for your embarrassing press release—how very Christian. And how very Republican. Why did they even bother? It's not like Republican voters care.
And even though Easter has passed, let's not forget Beth Merkleson's poor sickly mother in our prayers. Her daughter must still be at her mom's bedside 24/7. That's the only reason I can think of Beth hasn't sent so much as a text message to anyone.

Nice bit of dishonest guilt by association there Jim.

Kacy Cronan, what a joke, he is only 20 something, a complete idiot, uneducated. He went to North Hall High school and has only "worked" for daddy. He has never even had a real job. Why did you idiots not figure out before voting for Deal that this is how it would turn out, appointing "jokes" to Boards to payback his buddies. The joke is on us voters and tax payers. How much does Kacy get paid to sit on that board?

Goodness gracious. How could you criticize the fine upstanding businessmen who are heart of the Republican Party in the South? They are simply entrepeneurs trying to hedge their risks, like our Gov. Deal did when he intervened with Guv Sonny Do to have his salvage company keep their no-bid contract. And the help of his mgr. there is certainly bonafide credentials for a political appt. since he has 1st hand knowledge of how the system works.

Now let me see…this Gilley guy has agreed to testify against 'Uncle Milty' McGregor in the Alabama political bribery trial. That the trial where there's supposed to be FBI wire-taps that also implicate 'Uncle Milty' in the Auburn 'pay-for-play' mess that may or may not involve Cam Newton. My question is does this mean that the wire-tap evidence that involves Auburn, if it exists at all, would more likely or less likely be available to the NCAA in its continuing investigation of that whole mess?

Kacy Cronan works for his father and Nathan Deal at Gainesville Salvage. I guess he has now resolved all his legal problems regarding the stolen diesel fuel that was illegally being sold at the Gainesville Salvage business to truckers, wrecker companies, and everyone else willing to buy.
Will someone explain to me exactly what are his credentials to qualitfy him to serve on the Board of Public Safety ???
April 27th, 2011
9:25 am
The Cronan's paid one of their workers to take a fall for the stolen diesel fuel. Judge Jason Deal probably worked out the particulars. A 20 something boy cannot qualify to get a seat on that board, unless Nathan Deal is paying back favors. You know how it works in Clermont, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours. To hell with the honest tax paying citizens of this State.
He is as qualified as a Q-tip!

Comments about Powerline 45 Hyperextension Machine:
Now that the product is put together, I can breathe of sigh of relief. While this looks great, and is very well constructed, putting it together was quite difficult. When ordering I wish it was specified which tools were needed. As per the instructions (which by the way a high school student could have written them out better), one needs a standard wrench set, metric wrench set, adjustable wrench, and standard/metric Allen key sets. I literally had none of these and had to borrow them, and a person to assist. I am not very handy and this, plus the poorly designed instructions were overwhelming at first. Thankfully a neighbor assisted. Hopefully now it's worth the trouble. Using the unit for the first few times, it looks/feels heavy duty and long lasting. The foam is nice and thick. Someone saw it said, wow that looks pricey. So it doesn't give off appeal of a cheap unit. That was important. Above all 4 stars "overall rating," 1 star off for the assembly.

@Kyle: So here's my question then. If Blizzard posters end up posting a lot about "please give us more constructive feedback", why is no one listening to them? Yes, asking specific questions woule help, but it seems like they want people to jump directly to the specifics instead of a Blue having to ask for it every time. It seems to me like they're trying to teach people how to make better feedback posts but no one is listening.

Meanwhile prot sits there with bugger all. If you don't appreciate that to the extent that you need to post an ill-informed comment here, you've either never played a warrior tank, or you're just griefing.

This may be the Chinese Year of the Rabbit, but in Howard County girls basketball, it could be considered the Year of the Freshman. Nearly every varsity team has at least one freshman on its squad. Glenelg Country School and Chapelgate, which don't have junior varsity teams, each have five freshmen on varsity. Among the public schools, Atholton and Mt. Hebron are carrying four freshmen and Wilde Lake has three.
The coaches wouldn't keep them if they weren't good and if they weren't planning for the future.
However, it's not the teams with the most freshmen that are tapped as the teams to beat. That early season honor goes to Glenelg, River Hill, Oakland Mills and Howard.
Glenelg is the defending county and District V champion and returns all but one player from last year's team. The Gladiators, led by juniors Emily Russo and Sam Heisig, will be quick and will play a hounding defense. Russo was Glenelg's leader in scoring, assists and steals a year ago.
It would be a mistake to overlook Oakland Mills, which finished second to Glenelg last winter, and return Player of the Year Jasmine Hill and a strong supporting cast. The Scorpions have never won the county title.
Plan on River Hill improving on last year's 13-11 overall record and don't be surprised if the Hawks are in the county title hunt. There's history there. River Hill has won eight of the last 12 county titles.
Howard and Mt. Hebron will also help decide how the season shapes up. Don't forget that as the cliché goes, any team can win on any give night.
Realistically, last year was last year and the teams are ready for a fresh start.
The opening tap
Here's how the teams look as the season begins. Dec. 5 is the first play date; county games start Dec. 7.
2010-11 record: 10-9 county, 11-12 overall
Top players: Seniors Audi Vitagliano (F/G), Amy Weinberg (G) and Emily Pattillo (F/G).
What you need to know: The Raiders have seven seniors on the team; Vitagliano, Weinberg and Pattillo are four-year varsity players. Freshmen Sage Mayhew (G) and Kalere Calswell (F) may soon be in the starting lineup.
"We're a senior-oriented squad that has a mix of underclassmen who are also expected to contribute," coach Maureen Shacreaw said. "Team chemistry is important and there is a strong bond between the players as the upperclassmen have welcomed the newcomers to begin the season in a positive way."
With 14 players, Shacreaw said she is planning to "go with the mentality of trying to run" and wear opponents out. "I think we should be OK," she added.
2010-11 record: 11-8, 14-11
Top players: Seniors Rachel Benzing (F) and Sadie Rockefeller (F), sophomore Brittany Anderson (F).
What you need to know: The Eagles graduated five seniors from a team that reached the 3A regional finals. Benzing, who missed all of last season with injury, and Rockefeller will provide the senior leadership for first-year coach Bobby Macheel. The Eagles, 12-players strong, are young. Sophomores Mary Anderson, Sara Downing, Evana Pino and Alicia Hsieh join Brittany Anderson, who played varsity as a freshman. A pair of freshmen, Kimmy Eads and Anna Mitchell, are expected to see major playing time as the season progresses.

If this game had any more trailer videos, we probably would be soiling our pants by now. Fortunately, good wits came through when we needed it and we managed to keep ourselves dry.
Of course, it also helps to know that the new Need for Speed: SHIFT 2 Unleashed game is set to be released here in the US today, March 29th, 2011. The wait is finally over, people. All those sleepless nights will finally come to a head and if you haven't made reservations for the game yet, then you better get those orders done as soon as you can.
But if you already have all of your bases covered and you're just set for the game to hit the shelves, then we invite you to take a look at the final trailer for the video game, one that we're pretty sure will amp up your excitement a few notches higher - if it hasn't already.

Relaxation in Egypt
The ancient Egyptians used to spend hours pampering their bodies with complex mineral-rich and oil-based treatments. Ever since the days when Cleopatra bathed in milk, Egypt's rich natural resources have been used to boost health and sooth the soul, and many exotic treatments applied in the country have their roots in the practices of the Pharaohs.
In a frenetic city such as Cairo, a spa treatment is the ultimate pick-me-up, while along the Red Sea coast you can enjoy your recuperation by taking a gentle saunter from beach to a massage bed.
Queen Cleopatra bath in milk & honey

Inspired by the beauty treatments of the Queen of the Nile, this begins with a soak in milk and honey - apparently the rich lactic acid in milk does wonders for the skin - followed by a body massage with oils and a luxurious facial. This treatment is available to contemporary Cleopatras at many luxury hotels, including the Four Seasons and the Mandara Spa at the Marriot in Cairo, and at the Hyatt, in Taba.
Pharaonic massage
Once solely the preserve of Egyptian royalty, Pharaonic massage uses aromatic poultices filled with fresh camomile and mint that are dipped into fresh almond oil and then applied. It's ideal for soothing away Pharaonic-scale cares, relaxing tired muscles and nourishing the skin, and is on offer at the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo, as well as other worthy-of-a-Pharaoh five-star hotels.
Arabian coffee ritual
Can't do without your morning coffee? Indulge in caffeine as you never have before, via the exotic Arabian coffee ritual. This begins with a soft scrub and wrap of freshly ground coffee, Red Sea minerals and milk (no sugar). The coffee helps detoxify the skin and increase circulation. The aromatic adventure is topped off with a vigorous cocoa butter massage. It's available at the Four Seasons, Sharm el-Sheikh, where you can have the treatment in a Bedouin tent with Red Sea views.
Egyptian massage
Egyptian massage has a distinctive style that has been developed over millennia. It consists of a vigorous combination of stretching and pummelling that's ideal for relaxing the muscles after a strenuous diving trip. Indulge in combination packages that also include Egyptian hair wraps and facials, at sumptuous resort the Royal Savoy in Sharm el-Sheikh, one of the town's finest hotels.

Belly dancing
The art of raqs sharqi (eastern dance) or belly-dancing, is performed all over the Arab world, but has its soul in Egypt, and is a splendid way to shimmy your cares away. In Cairo you can learn with Amora Dance, who also teach other Egyptian pastimes including cymbal playing, Turkish sword techniques, Shamadan fire dance and the Dance of the seven Veils, if you're so inclined.
Papyrus wrap
Ancient Egyptians used to wrap oils and linens around their bodies to encourage skin rejuvenation. In this contemporary version, you undergo gentle exfoliation, and then nourishing wraps infused by natural ingredients soothe and nourish your skin. You might feel like a mummy, but you'll look a lot better afterwards. Try the hour-long treatment at the lush Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo.
Sea Salt Glow
What other spa treatment should you go for on the Red Sea coast but the sea salt glow? You're bound to emerge radiant after being gently exfoliated with sea salts and oils, before getting your minerals suitably balanced via a full-body mud wrap. This invigorating treatment is available at the OIympus Spa at the Hyatt Regency, Taba.
Slew off the effects of the day's sightseeing with a deep, refreshing cleanse at a North African hammam. An idea imported from Morocco, the hammam involves going from a hot steamy environment to cooler rooms. A massage and scrub with a soapy loofah follows, which refreshes your skin and leaves you tingling - the best place to try this is Cairo's La Rose spa.

There is a new WBA Heavyweight Champion and his name is David "The Hayemaker" Haye. The former cruiserweight champion went into Nuremberg, Germany and conquered the tallest and heaviest heavyweight champion of all time, Nikolai Valuev, to wrest a heavyweight championship away from the bloc of Russians who have dominated the heavyweight division in recent years.
Haye was much faster than the 7 foot, 300+ lb Valuev. Haye gave up almost a foot in height and over 100 lbs to Valuev, but he used his speed to his advantage, making Valuev miss for most of the fight. Haye also showed plenty of power, as he almost knocked Valuev down (which would have been the first knockdown of Valuev's career) in the 12th and final round.
Two judges scored the fight 116-112 for Haye and the 3rd judge had it as a 114-114 draw.
Haye had been known primarily for his propensity to talk a major amount of smack about all of his opponents. He had recently gone on a "promotional tour" to talk smack about both Kiltschko brothers and he had a fight scheduled against Wladimir but it was called off. But Haye has backed up his talk, mostly, and now he'll also be known as WBA Heavyweight Champion.
Haye moves to 23-1 for his career. Valuev dropped to 50-2 and after the fight, he admitted that he didn't expect Haye to be as fast or as strong as he was.
You'd think that Haye would now move on to face either of the Klitschko brothers, given his antics in the past. However, there was apparently a deal already in place before this fight that if Haye won then his first defense would be against former champion John Ruiz. And Haye wasted little time talking smack about Ruiz as he said "He's not the most spectacular, and I don't feel like I'll struggle with him. He's about the same size as me and I think I'll knock him out."
But, should Haye win against Ruiz (and I think he will) then there will certainly be a heavyweight championship unification fight between Haye and one of the Klitschko brothers right around the corner.
Congrats to the new champ, David Haye!

John 20:19-31; 1 John 1:1-4
Presented April 19, 2009, by J.D. Kline
The Second Sunday of Easter/Earth Day Sunday
Flora Slosson Wuellner, ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, begins her book Prayer, Stress, and Our Inner Wounds with the observation, "As a young girl, when I first read the life of Jesus in the Gospels, I thought: If God is really like that, we are in safe hands!" Intriguing, isn't it, that some can read the very same Gospels as did Wuellner, and see portrayed in them, not a God in whose hands we are safe, but rather an angry God, a threatening and vengeful God ever waiting to trip us up, a God who evokes a sense of fear deep within us. Perhaps because there is so much mystery in life, so much we cannot easily explain, some embrace a threatening God whom they can hold responsible for all of life's struggles and woes. But my experience leads me to read the Gospels as does Flora Wuellner, finding there the story of a God who stands with us in our times of uncertainty and grief, a compassionate and grace-filled God who loves us with a tenacious love, a God who has formed us as God's beloved daughters and sons.
There are times, of course, when life seems to fall in upon us, times when we simply do not know which way to turn, and it is precisely at those times when it is both difficult—yet ultimately satisfying—to trust in the goodness of our God. At such times we are invited and challenged to enter into the deepest struggles of life without being defeated by those struggles. Flora Wuellner puts it this way:
God does not send us pain. God is not a wounder or a punisher. This is important to understand as our trust in God grows. But neither does God let our wounds be wasted. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will not remove the lines of hard-won experience from our faces. A new power of light, the light of the divine passionate compassion, will shine through those lines on our faces.
This morning's Gospel lesson tells the familiar story of the disciples, late in the day on the first Easter, locked behind closed doors, nearly overwhelmed by their fear that they, too, might suffer the very kind of fate Jesus endured. A choking cloak of despair clutches at the hearts of this small band of confused and heart-broken disciples. But despair does not have the final word, for the disciples find themselves face to face with the inexplicable—with a new light, a new hope, a new sense of God's grace as the risen Christ appears in their midst, breathing a comforting spirit of peace among them. Into their brokenness and pain streams the transforming light of Christ.
Some would suggest that the power of resurrection is displayed in the ability of Jesus to miraculously pass through closed doors. But as remarkable as that may be, the deeper power lies in this—that the risen Christ is able to breathe new life into that cowering band of frightened disciples. A new hope fills their spirits. A new courage orders their steps. A new compassion softens their hearts. A new light shines through the worry lines etched on their faces.
Once the risen Christ stands before the struggling band of disciples, he offers words of comfort, "Peace be with you," and then immediately shows them the scars on his hands and his side from the crucifixion. Wuellner questions why those wound marks remained on Jesus' body after the resurrection. Writes Wuellner,
Why weren't those earthly marks of suffering swallowed up, forgotten, in glory? Was it so his friends could identify him? Partly. But I think there was a more important reason. I think all his friends through the ages to come were being shown that wounds, especially when healed, can become sources and signs of new radiance of life. No longer the sources of pain and despair, the wounds now healed can become the channel of healing for others.
Marie Fortune is the founder and director of FaithTrust Institute, a multi-faith organization working to end sexual violence and domestic abuse. While many have noted that violence and abuse may well perpetuate themselves, Marie Fortune observes that "brokenness does not predict that someone will do harm to others. There are so many survivors of abuse who not only do not do harm to others but indeed dedicate their lives to ending abuse. These are the people who have found some measure of healing and justice." Indeed, these are the people whose wounds now healed can become the channel of healing for others.
Henri Nouwen, you may recall, speaks of this as a matter of becoming wounded healers. The first disciples, after being surprised by the risen Christ, found themselves infused with new strength and new courage in ways they little anticipated; what's more, they found a new identity as wounded healers. In my own journey through grief, in the aftermath of Janice's accident and death more than three years ago, I recall frequent times along the way when I wondered if I had the strength to move on in life. And yet, over time, I have found myself experiencing my own Easter resurrection. While the grief remains a part of me, and I suspect always will to some degree, yet I have gradually embraced a new identity. The scars remain, and yet, more and more, I have become a wounded healer—more aware of others' pain, more compassionate of others' struggles, more sensitive to others' needs. And with that, I have found the courage to begin anew, the grace to embrace new possibilities.
Ernest Hemingway grasps this reality, writing in his novel A Farewell to Arms, "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." Is this not the experience of Thomas, who was not present with the other disciples on that first Easter evening, when the risen Christ appeared, and who, when they later told him what they had seen and experienced, simply could not fathom this new possibility. Said Thomas, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in [Jesus'] hands, and put my finger in the marks of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe" (John 21:25). Yet one week later Thomas finds the courage and grace to begin anew, as the resurrected Jesus once again appears to the disciples, this time with Thomas included. "Peace be with you," Jesus again assures them, and then turning to Thomas, Jesus invites him, "Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe" (v.27).
In that moment, Thomas does indeed believe. But it is not simply a matter of accepting correct dogma or embracing a series of right convictions about Jesus; much more, it is embracing the fullness of relationship with the risen yet scarred Jesus, the One who accepts us as we are and infuses us with new hope, empowering us to become wounded healers. This kind of hope, as Benedictine sister Joan Chittister reminds us, is not a matter of trusting in our own resources, but in God's. After asserting that confidence and hope are very different things, Chittister continues,
Confidence is the inner conviction that we are equal to whatever task is before us. It is the certainty that we are bright enough, strong enough, powerful enough to meet a challenge. Hope, on the other hand, is what sustains us when we have little or no confidence left…. Hope knows that whatever happens, God lives. Hope expects that however bad it looks, this moment will ultimately yield something good. Hope says begin again.
A hope to sustain us, empowering us to begin again, for now we know that we are in the safe hands of our God, a compassionate and grace-filled God who is not in the business of harming or wounding us, but who, often over time, transforms our hurts, that we might become wounded healers. Indeed, the promise of resurrection is that God is in the business of making all things new. Not just you and me, individuals fashioned anew in the very midst of our times of struggle and loss and hurt and grief, but even more, the promise of all creation being transformed. As biblical scholar Tom Wright reminds us in his commentaryJohn for Everyone, "The resurrection is not only new creation; it is new creation." "To grasp this," asserts Wright, "is vital for the health of the Christian faith. Any sense that Jesus starts a movement which is somehow opposed to, or can leave behind, the world God made in the first place is excluded by this gospel from start to finish." That is the say, resurrection is the promise that all life is being made new, and our calling is to live in ways that celebrate the goodness of God's creation, that care for the world around us, that work for justice and peace, and that enable us to live as good stewards of God's abundant gifts. There is no place in the Christian life for abusing the creation; instead, we are called to live lightly and carefully on the earth.
John begins his first letter by declaring "what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—we declare to you what we have seen and heard" (1 John 1:1-3). We too are challenged to share what we have experienced—the promise of resurrection, of all creation being made new, all life being transformed.
Annually I go to the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky for a week of silence. The abbey owns hundreds of acres of land—a great place to walk, to reflect, to take in the beauty of God's creation. There is a pathway that leads to several statues, one of Jesus praying in the Garden on the eve of his betrayal and arrest, kneeling with head uplifted to God, hands covering his face and eyes. Some distance from the statue of the agonized Christ is a second statue of the three disciples who accompany Jesus to the Garden, asleep in spite of his request that they wait with him while he prays. The statues were created and dedicated in honor of Jonathan Daniels, a young white seminarian in the mid-1960s who felt led to heed Martin Luther King's challenge to the clergy to join him in the south, working for voting rights for African-Americans. While in Alabama, Jonathan Daniels was killed while trying to protect a young African-American woman being threatened by a police officer. In a letter written to a friend back home just a short time before his death, Jonathan Daniels wrote:
Though I have many misgivings, though at the moment I can't imagine that I have anything to give of any significance, I know with heart, mind and soul that the Holy Spirit has picked me up by the scruff of the neck. When that happened, my life could not remain the same…. Though I cannot guess precisely where I am being driven, I have the haunting feeling again and again that I am flying with the mightiest Wind in the world at my back.
In the midst of Jonathan's uncertainty, he nevertheless experienced the transforming power of the resurrection—the mightiest Wind in the world at his back, the wind of our God who sustains us with a mighty hope, who loves us with a love that will not let us go, and who forms us into wounded healers.
Thanks be to God; we too can experience that same transforming power. Amen.

After teasing us for quite some time, the Kia Ray Plug-In Hybrid Concept made its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show, a new creation from the "EcoDynamics" studio, the Korean automaker's global alternative fuel and power train research program. The concept is built from lightweight and recycled materials and features hexagonal roof top solar cells embedded in the glass roof that provide extra power for the lighting and climate control systems.
The concept is powered by an all aluminum Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) 1.4 Liter engine producing 153 HP combined with a 78kw electric motor mated to a permanently engaged fixed ratio Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for increased fuel efficiency. The Ray was designed to have a zero emissions range exceeding 50 miles thanks the efficient electric motor from only a single charge and has been rated to receive an estimated 202 MPG. With a full tank of gas and the batteries topped off, the concept has a range of 746 miles.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
Kia Motors America (KMA) today unveiled the Ray Plug-in Hybrid concept during a press conference at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, advancing momentum of Kia Motors' global alternative fuel and powertrain research program, and its sub-brand coined "EcoDynamics," to develop innovative fuel-stretching and emissions-cutting technologies. The most efficient Kia vehicles with significant fuel consumption and emission reductions developed under the EcoDynamics sub-brand will be identified with the EcoDynamics badge. Recently, the EcoDynamics sub-brand took a major step forward with the introduction of the Kia Borrego Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) followed by the Forte LPI Hybrid, the gasoline Kia cee'd Hybrid and the twin-turbo diesel Kia Sorento Hybrid.
As the world looks for more efficient vehicle designs that combine sophisticated and sleek lines with functionality and fuel economy, the Kia Ray concept is a bold new collaboration between design and engineering and inventively showcases a futuristic four-seat compact sedan based on the Kia Forte platform and demonstrates a prospective plug-in hybrid vehicle configuration from Kia. Designed with lightweight and recycled materials, as well as hexagonal roof-top solar cells embedded in the glass roof panel that power extra lighting or climate control systems, the Kia Ray is the fifth vehicle from the Irvine Calif.-based Kia Design Center America (KDCA) to be revealed in the last year. The latest design from KDCA follows award-winning Kia vehicles Soul, Forte, Forte Koup and the all-new 2011 Sorento CUV.
"It is important to imagine what people will want in the future from a green perspective early in the design process, because people want to reduce their carbon footprint without driving carbon copies," said Peter Schreyer, chief design officer, Kia Motors Corporation. "Being green doesn't have to be an obvious statement anymore and the Kia Ray exemplifies a viable blend of modern, eco-minded features for today's environmentally conscious consumers."
The stylish, aerodynamic Ray combines design and engineering for maximum efficiency, incorporating clean, flush surfaces minimizing any unneeded edges, a flowing profile and pronounced rear shoulder ending in a slightly high deck lid for reduced drag, touch-screen controls, drive-by-wire steering, "cool-glazing" solar glass and a lithium-polymer battery - all possible indicators of future technology from Kia. As a plug-in hybrid, Ray is designed to reach driving distances of more than 50 miles using its electric motor on a single charge, and has a fuel economy rating of more than 202 miles per gallon, and has a total range of 746 miles.
As part of Kia Motors' EcoDynamics sub-brand, the Ray concept demonstrates a unique vision for eye-catching vehicles with the goal of reducing environmental footprints. Kia models will carry the EcoDynamics badge as they are progressively introduced, and are designed to deliver significant environmental benefits, these vehicles also will retain a sporty design, fun-to-drive performance and a strong appeal for the young-at-heart.
Striking Aircraft-Inspired Exterior Design
EcoDynamics is the overarching design philosophy applied to make the Kia Ray concept efficiently functional and striking in appearance. A lowered mono-volume shape and a strong, curvaceous silhouette gives the Kia Ray concept better aerodynamic properties than taller profile hybrid vehicles. Strong and lightweight materials are used to support the EcoDynamics philosophy starting with a tabbed LED Kia badge covered with a single piece of glass that extends over the hood and another piece of glass that extends from the cowl of the windshield to the rear header to offer occupants a spacious, airy feeling. An illuminated battery charge indicator display is hood-mounted, furthering the Kia Ray concept's futuristic design. A tapering greenhouse cabin and a longer "tail" improve aerodynamics while reduction of drag is attained through a one-piece, smooth-as-glass, integrated underbody panel, narrow tire width and flush wheel design. Front driving lamps slide back to create openings for better air intake when the gasoline engine is being used and a sliding U-shaped deck-lid extends from the rear of the vehicle at higher speeds for improved coefficient of drag. In lieu of side-view mirrors and door handles, motion-detector cameras are mounted flush with the body for safe lane changing procedures and opening of doors. The result is an airframe on wheels. The front door opening features a forward cutout design for the feet allowing ease of entry. The rear door lines are very purposeful with rear-hinged coach doors, yet stylish because their height and shape improves ingress and egress.
The Ray employs new "cool car" technology, including nano-laminate films and cool-glazing materials applied to the concept to dramatically reduce solar heat and demonstrate how keeping the interior cool will reduce air conditioning loads and greenhouse emissions. When the vehicle is parked in the sun, the solar cells provide a trickle charge that helps operate a cooling fan to reduce interior temperatures.
Light and Airy Interior
Using the natural element of air as the design focus to convey feelings of pure, lightweight, breathable and refreshing, Ray's interior is comprised of eco-friendly recycled materials in cool white tones to offer the passengers a sense of purity while also reflecting the heat of the sun, keeping the temperature down and reducing the use of air conditioner energy. Front and rear seats, mounted on side sills, create a floating effect with hollowed out elastomeric materials to support body weight, also made of lightweight composite materials.
Fresh and sustainable materials like wool flooring unite to create a simple yet sophisticated and comfortable cabin, with a lightweight touch screen instrument layout featuring touch screen push-button start and gear shift toggle. The center stack features the all-new Kia UVO powered by Microsoft® advanced infotainment system, which provides users with friendly voice- and touch-activated controls for simple management of music files and hands-free mobile phone operation.
Adding to the list of green technology features, Ray also employs the all-new GreenEdge™ system by Infinity® Audio, complete with loudspeakers that reduce power consumption and dissipation through lower self heating temperatures with increased acoustic performance, a better synergy between amplifier, speaker and vehicle. The amplifier used also reduces the idle power consumption by 50 percent of current Infinity speakers and employs a lower dissipation design for significant savings in overall weight.
With a focus to reduce overall weight through materials and design, the hexagon/honeycomb shape can be found throughout the cabin, used as a repeated design element while tying the interior theme together. Used also in the door inserts and seats, this lightweight and breathable mesh serves to reduce overall curb weight as well as being a unique design element. Other materials found in the cabin are soft to the touch with a matte finish, including white leather, offering a more luxurious feel while making the interior more inviting and tranquil. The 100-percent earthy mocha wool felt floors add a touch of warmth and also are environmentally friendly by coming from a renewable resource. Adding further to Ray's green characteristics, the floor mats are incorporated into the design of the floor, greatly reducing the amount of material used.
Hybrid Architecture
The Ray Concept is designed to be powered by an all-aluminum 153-horsepower Gasoline Direct Injected (GDI) 1.4-liter engine mated to a permanently-engaged fixed ratio Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), used in combination with a 78kw electric motor. Depending on driving conditions, power is sent to the wheels from the gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both together. The Ray concept is front-wheel drive with a four-wheel independent suspension.
Furthering EcoDynamics innovation, the Ray concept's advanced system is equipped with an engine-power saving alternator management system and a toggle gear-shift up/down indicator to encourage economical driving. Custom-designed low-rolling resistance with a hexagon pattern, narrow 20-inch (195/50R20) tires also improve Ray's efficiency.

Responsive design is the future!
Automatic responsive images in WordPress
NB: This article was originally posted to the Viewport Industries blog which is no longer active (the company is of course, rather the blog didn't get updated much). It's archived here as rather unbelievably it gets referenced a lot. Thanks for reading – Keir
As Elliot mentioned in our first post we wanted to try out a few relatively new techniques on this site, the main one being the inclusion of Josh Emerson's Responsive-Enhance script to serve resolution-dependent images.
The simplest way to see the script in action (if you are using a desktop browser) is to resize this screen so that it's very narrow and hit refresh; all being well the image above should turn into a black and white version, physically smaller in terms of dimensions and file size. Now slowly stretch the screen out again and you should see the colour version kick back in. Josh's script cleverly replaces the lo-res version with the full size colour version — nice and easy.
Getting it to work
The beauty of this script is its simplicity. Here's all you have to do:
- Include a link to the script in your document
- Create the relevant img elements with your lo-res image as the default src
- Add a data attribute called 'data-fullsrc' which has a path to your full size image
- Include a call to the responsiveEnhance function in a linked JavaScript file passing in the img element and the screen width to trigger the replacement
Setting it up
Sounds easy and it is. Here's how our img element looks with the addition of the required data-fullsrc attribute:
<img id="digest-header" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/img/heading-digest.gif" data-fullsrc="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/img/heading-digest-large.jpg" alt="Digest logo" />
In case you're not familiar with WordPress, the
<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?> will be replaced by the current themes directory path.
responsiveEnhance($('#digest-header'), 400);
We are using the jQuery selector here but you could just as easily use:
responsiveEnhance(document.getElementById('digest-header'), 400);.
The function takes the img element and the screen width as arguments. It's that simple. You can also get it working quite easily for images that use a particular class or are contained within a particular section. For example, using jQuery, you could do something like:
responsiveEnhance($('article img'), 400);
This would run the script over all the images contained within an article element.
Automagic black and white
Setting it up for the home page was simple enough, but having fallen for the technique we wanted our blog header images to follow suit. Hand crafting different versions of the header image for each blog post would result in a lot of work (for Elliot!), so we initially avoided the idea. However, on closer inspection it turned out that we could auto-generate these images using a couple of handy WordPress filters and some (new to me) PHP functionality.
At this point a rather large hat tip must be doffed to c.bavota, whose script got me on the right path. The one I actually use is virtually identical apart from a line or two to handle file naming conventions.
We have created a gist over on GitHub so you can grab the function for yourself. The embed doesn't currently play that nice with our design so have a quick look and head back for a quick explanation.
The first thing to note is the following function call:
add_image_size('thumbnail-bw', 400, 0, false);
This tells WordPress to create a new image with a name of 'thumbnail-bw' at 400px wide for every image that we upload, providing it is 400px or wider. The final two arguments dictate height and crop. In this case we don't specify a height as we want it sized proportionally, and for crop we specify false which equates to 'soft proportional crop mode'. With that set up we can go about manipulating our new 'thumbnail-bw' image.
WordPress filters
Next you will notice the
add_filter('wp_generate_attachment_metadata','bw_images_filter'); function. A filter is described as follows in the WordPress codex:
Filters are functions that WordPress passes data through, at certain points in execution, just before taking some action with the data (such as adding it to the database or sending it to the browser screen). Filters sit between the database and the browser (when WordPress is generating pages), and between the browser and the database (when WordPress is adding new posts and comments to the database); most input and output in WordPress passes through at least one filter. WordPress does some filtering by default, and your plugin can add its own filtering.
Essentially what filters allow us to do is modify 'stuff'; i.e.: text or, in our case, images. There's so much you can do with filters, but that's another post entirely.
So by filtering the creation of the meta data (every image has associated data that we can use in a variety of WordPress functions in the database) associated with an image we can create our own black and white version for use with our responsive image script.
bw_images_filter does all the heavy lifting for us and is called every time
wp_generate_attachment_metadata an image is uploaded. Without going into too much detail, here's what happens in the function:
- The function receives an array of file meta data relating to our most recently uploaded image. This is passed in from our filter call. This array contains all the details we need to start manipulating our image.
- Next the image is grabbed using
wp_load_imageand assigned to a variable
- The function then runs the image through the native PHP function
imagefilterto turn it into a black and white version
- We then save out the modified version and change the file name by adding the appropriate extension with the -bw suffix, e.g.:
filename-bw.png. It's worth noting that the originally uploaded image will remain on your file system, but you could easily modify the function to delete it.
- Finally we return the new meta data, which WordPress adds back to the database
It's a pretty simple function but does the job well. This only works on new uploads but you could modify this function to iterate over your existing files without too much trouble.
Template logic
Your needs will dictate what kind of logic you employ in your archive or single template. Whilst I have included links below to the loop logic we use on this site as well as the JS function call, I doubt a simple copy and paste will work on most sites. However, simple modifications to relevant class names should be pretty straightforward.
- Gist showing the functions required to get the src of your black and white image set to a variable you can use in your template
- Gist showing the jQuery call that makes it all happen. Note: this is specific to our templates and you will likely need to modify it for your own needs and class names.
Final thoughts
Undoubtedly the way we deal with images and responsive design will change in the next few months, but we are very happy with this approach. It works well, is easy to integrate into WordPress, and allows us to have a bit of fun with making them black and white.
I hope it hasn't been too hard to follow. If you have any questions please feel free to drop a comment below.
Update – August 2012
We removed the black and white element of this script in version 2 of this web site. The principal remains the same but if you resize the browser and refresh you will now see a smaller full colour version of the image. Apologies to those who read this, resized and thought that it wasn't working.

I can relate to this story. My two little babies, Pudge and Pea, were almost identical to the subject of this column. I home office and so am at home all the time. I originally bought Pea for my Dad's birthday (he lives with me), but it wasn't long before I noticed she was starting to follow me around, all day long, every day...yep, we bonded. A few months later, I thought Pea needed a buddy, so I got Pudge. And, zippity Doo, both were following me around. When they wanted to eat or go outside, they'd nudge my knee with their head. When Pudge wanted me to wake up, she barked at me. Sadly, Pudge passed away about 2 years ago and I felt really, really bad for several weeks. And, then in Feb of this year Pea passed away after several months of different types of treatment to make her better. Once again, I felt terrible. Bottom line...those little critters sure can find a way into your heart. I have a new pooch I adopted from the local shelter...she's a miniature weiner dog and as sweet as they come. And, yep she follows me around, waits outside the bathroom door and sleeps on the floor as close as she can get to me at night. Dogs have made my life much better. Dogs are more than a person's best friend, they are more like beloved brothers or sisters.
Good column!
