What is chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy releases or "discharges" individual debtors from having to pay certain outstanding debts while allowing them to keep exempt assets so they can get on with their lives. It has strict eligibility criteria and only certain types of debts can be discharged. The main purpose of Chapter 7 is to provide a "fresh start" to individuals who really need it. Once debts are discharged, the debtor no longer has any liability for them and the creditor cannot pursue a debtor any further. Receiving a discharge under Chapter 7 is not an option for corporations or partnerships, only individuals (or married couples) can receive a discharge.
Who is eligible for chapter 7?
Individual debtors can qualify for Chapter 7 relief. As an individual, you must first pass a Means Test. You must also receive credit counseling within 180 days before you can file and you must not have had a dismissed petition within the last half year. Partnerships, corporations, and other business entities may qualify for certain kinds of relief under Chapter 7, but not necessarily a discharge (speak with a bankruptcy lawyer for more information).
What is a means test?
Means testing helps determine who honestly needs Chapter 7 relief. If you apply but don't qualify, it's considered an abuse of the bankruptcy protection laws. The test determines if your income is lower than the median level for your state, meaning you probably can't pay back your consumer debts. See this website for more information.
What is credit counseling?
Within 180 days before filing Chapter 7, debtors must meet with a government-approved credit counseling agency to discuss bankruptcy alternatives and possibly take actions to avoid bankruptcy. This credit counseling should be free, or almost free. Organizations will work confidentially to find solutions to repaying your debt, usually through a strict personal budget and money-management plan. More details about approved state agencies can be found at www.usdoj.gov/ust.
What is chapter 7 dismissal?
Bankruptcy dismissal occurs when something goes wrong with your case and a court rejects it. There are many reasons this can happen and many consequences. Often you'll be required to file under Chapter 13 instead. See elsewhere on this website for more details.
How does chapter 7 work?
Once you know you're eligible for Chapter 7, the first step is to file a petition with the local Federal bankruptcy court. In addition to your petition, there are a number of other forms you must file, and several actions that you or your lawyer must take. There are also fees associated with filing the case.
After you have filed, you are granted an "automatic stay", which means most collection agencies can no longer take action against you. About a month later, your bankruptcy court case trustee will meet with you and your creditors to discuss the financial situation, and depending on your answers and pre-qualification tests and materials, the case will either be accepted or dismissed.
The trustee will also ensure you're aware of the consequences of seeking a discharge, such as how it affects your credit. Your case might also be converted to another chapter to offer you additional debt relief. For debts to be discharged, you will be expected to fulfill certain duties.
What are the procedures and how much paperwork is there?
The procedures involved in Chapter 7 filing are numerous. Getting help from a lawyer is usually considered necessary. In addition to steps already mentioned, you must also submit to the court or trustee these documents:
- Schedules of assets and liabilities
- A schedule of current income and expenditures
- A detailed statement of financial affairs
- A schedule of executed contracts and unexpired leases
- Copies of your most recent tax returns and returns filed during your case
Submit, if you are a debtor with chiefly consumer debts:
- A certificate of credit counseling
- A copy of any debt repayment plan developed through counseling
- Evidence of payment in the last two months from employers
- A statement of monthly net income and any anticipated changes
- A record of any interest in federal or state education or tuition accounts
To complete all the official forms, you must have:
- A list of all creditors and the amount and nature of their claims
- Detailed information regarding your income: its source, amount, and frequency
- A list of all your property
- A detailed, item-by-item list all your monthly living expenses
Do I need a lawyer to file chapter 7?
While you are legally permitted to represent yourself, having a lawyer is highly recommended. A lawyer will handle most of the details concerning your case and is liable for any mistakes he or she makes, which takes the burden of responsibility off your shoulders.
What fees must I pay?
A $245 case filing fee
A $39 miscellaneous administrative fee
A $15 trustee surcharge
Your lawyer's fees
Can these fees be waived or paid in installments?
Yes, the court may waive your fees if you live significantly below the poverty level and simply can't pay them. Both the courts and most lawyers accept payments in installment plans.
What are exemptions in chapter 7?
Your creditors have the right to liquidate many of your assets to pay off debts, but often you'll be able to keep certain property, such as your house, cars, and needed household items. Together with the schedules you are required to file with the court, you'll need to file a list of these exemptions. The law states certain property is protected from creditors; however, you should consult an attorney to determine the details in your state.
How will my discharge work?
Most of your debts will be discharged, meaning creditors will no longer come after you; however, some debts are not discharged, including debts for alimony and child support, certain taxes, debts for federal or state educational benefits and loans, and debts related to criminal conduct, such as death or personal injury related to a DUI. If any fraud is detected before or even after the discharge, it can be revoked. It's recommended you talk to a lawyer for more information.
Will filing chapter 7 hurt my credit?
Yes. Your credit rating will be negatively affected for a period of ten years, but you'll slowly be able to build it back up. There are financial institutions that will quickly begin working with you again, allowing to restore your credit as quickly as possible, provided you make every payment. If your bankruptcy was caused by issues such as injury or illness, you might be able to get creditors to consider this when they rate your credit.

Watch Batman (1989) Full Movie Online on YoutubeOnFire
Server 2
Batman :- Watch Batman on Youtube on Fire, Parents need to know that Batman is the 1989 movie starring Micheal Keaton as "the Caped Crusader"; this was the first reintroduction to the darker, more "noir" Batman instead of the campier 1960s Batman that was the most well-known version. Kids watching this movie will see the murder of parents before their own kids, disfigurement, a quill pen jabbed in a man's throat and another man electrocuted to death, along with numerous shoot-outs, wild chases, and vigilantism portrayed in a favorable light. Expect some profanity, including cigarette and cigar smoking; and champagne drinking a woman acts drunk before an implied one-night stand with Bruce Wayne. The Joker makes sexual advances toward Vicki Vale. Prostitutes walk up and down a bustling and crime-filled city street; one of them accosts a young boy. Director Tim Burton is skilled at depicting the whimsical, the demented, even the nightmarish. If this movie is any indication, however, he has little talent for creating "normal" people or telling a logical story. BATMAN does have its virtues: eye-catching production design and Nicholson's joyfully hammy turn as the Joker. Nicholson holds viewers' attention during the movie's first quarter, before the Batman/Joker conflict kicks in. Keaton, however, sleepwalks through his performance as the Caped Crusader. Though the armor-covered Batman is nearly always in motion, Bruce Wayne barely puts out any emotional energy. Though he improved a bit in the superior but darker sequel Batman Returns, Keaton's casting as the muscular Bruce Wayne remains one of the most wrongheaded decisions in movie history.

Описание: As the one-foot-square format suggests, this book is about carefully defined spaces and how to use it most effectively. All 25 of the recent contemporary homes featured in this book are 2500 square feet and under, with some less than 1000 square feet. And yet, all of these houses illustrate how to use limited space effectively and with great style. 25 Under 2500 feature innovatively designed second homes and primary residences by some of the top architects working today. Through the use of exceptional photography, plans, and drawings, readers will be able to plan their own dream houses as well as present solid design ideas to their own architects. There is a growing interest in smaller homes - homes that are less costly to build and easier and cheapter to maintain. Many prospective homeowners are not, however, looking for boring, cookie-cutter plans for these small houses. Rather, they are seeking creative solutions for smaller houses and innovative use of spaces within these houses. This book will appeal to first-time buyers, empty-nesters, and architects who are being challenged by their clients to design space-efficient houses. Купить

High-profile launches from players such as Amazon, Google and Apple are expected to galvanize the growing market for consumer cloud mobility services, generating revenues reaching almost $6.5 billion per annum by 2016, a new report from Juniper Research (Hampshire, England) has found.
According to the report, while initial consumer deployments in the cloud were focused primarily on the social networking space, music and video storage/acquisition services such as Amazon's Cloud Drive and the forthcoming Apple iCloud are expected to gain rapid traction with substantial adoption over both smartphones and tablets. Both services are geared to migrating end users' music collections onto the cloud as well as enabling the purchase and storage of additional tracks, while Amazon also offers a cloud-based delivery mechanism with its Cloud Player.
However, mobile social media services are also expected to benefit as providers increasingly seek to develop revenue streams based around virtual goods: the report highlighted the success of Zynga's Farmville, and suggested that growth in this sector should receive a particularly strong boost as consumer tablet adoption accelerates, according to Juniper Research.
While the report claimed that the increasingly competitive storage sector meant that the provision of consumer storage in isolation was unlikely to generate substantial returns in the longer term, it identified bundled storage and security solutions as a key growth area.
"The handset is now the repository -- in many cases the sole repository -- for data such as photographs, videos, address books, games and music; when the device is lost or stolen, that data may be irreplaceable," says Windsor Holden, principal analyst for Juniper Research. "Hence, the facility to offer remote back-up becomes increasingly attractive."

One of the state's leading restaurant rows is enjoying a resurgence. Main Street in East Greenwich as a dining destination has been well-established since the restaurant boom started in the 1990s.
There are no fewer than four new restaurants in various stages of construction and opening. Another 10 have emerged in the last few years. The oldest spot on the street still is Jigger's Diner, which can trace its roots at 145 Main St. back to 1917. The newest is a few minutes' drive south of town on Forge Road, where the place known as Chianti's Italian Cuisine is undergoing rebuilding, planned to reopen in March as what the ownership, Martucci Restaurant Group, is describing as a "new-style neighborhood eatery."
The business district, which had undergone a transformation when I revisited in 2015, is filling in with more restaurants. A modern bar/café called Kai, owned by well-known Rhode Island mixologist Jason Kindness, has moved into a space previously occupied by an Alex and Ani shop, which closed abruptly last year. Kindness has big plans for Kai, which consists of two bars with tables in between and along the walls. Already it has taken its place among the town's restaurant and bar staffers as the place to drop in after a shift. Across the street is another spot under construction. Rocco's Bistro is a sibling restaurant to a Smithfield casual pub called Rocco's Pub and Grub. Chef Jamie Beaulieu says the new place will have a somewhat different menu but is bringing along some menu benchmarks, which include interesting takes on pub fare such as hand-cut fries with togarashi – the Japanese seven-spice blend including chili peppers and hemp seeds – Parmesan and chipotle ketchup.
Fine-dining options are still available with the revived Post Office Café anchoring Restaurant Row at the north end of Main Street and doing well under chef-owner John Granata, and La Masseria in the middle of the downtown area becoming one of the established places in town.
At the other end of the street, construction activity continues. At 455 Main, Red Stripe has taken its place as a consistent "fine casual" destination. Across the side street is a spot known for its consistent inconsistency. In late 2016, Feast Sandwich Co. took over the small space and installed a sandwich grill press and a menu of handcrafted burgers and a section called "Refined Frankfurters."
One commodity that is scarce in town is vacant restaurant space. One of the few – the former Tio Mateo in the CVS Plaza – is becoming the latest location of the Jersey Mike's sub chain. It should be noted some of the new places are taking over addresses that were not previously restaurants, which speaks volumes about the vibrancy of the food-service business in the state. And the places that were new in 2015 are still thriving, from Greenwich Bay Oyster Bar to Tio Mateo Mexican Grille, which, together with its sibling Greenwich Bay Gourmet, moved to larger quarters. Indian cuisine, conspicuous by its absence, returned at about the same time with Sanjiv Dhar's Rasa. Interestingly enough, Dhar taught the restaurateur that opened the town's first Indian eatery how to cook. n

Beijing, Sep 22 (IANS) Christian Deydier, president of France's national antique dealers federation, has returned to China 24 gold antiques, stolen from 2,000-year-old tombs, the media reported on Tuesday.
The antiques will be exhibited in a museum in China's Gansu province, EFE news agency reported.
The move comes just two months after Deydier and billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault returned 32 artefacts to China.
The antiques were from tombs in Dabuzhishan region and date back to the Qin dynasty that ruled from 770-476 B.C.
China has launched a campaign to retrieve a large number of artefacts stolen from temples and tombs and now in the possession of foreign museums or private collectors.

Are the Notes right for you?
You may be suited to become a Noteholder if, among other benefits, you: (1) are looking for safety of principal if held to maturity; (2) want exposure to an investment that is linked to the performance of the Reference Shares; (3) are investing for the longer term and believe that the Reference Shares will appreciate. The Notes have certain investment characteristics that differ from conventional fixed income investments. The Notes do not provide Noteholders with a return or income stream that is calculated or determined by reference to a fixed or floating rate of interest. An investment in the Notes is not suitable for an investor looking for a return beyond the minimum annual Coupon amount of CAD1.00 per Note payable on each of the first two Coupon Payment Dates during the Term. As a result, there is no assurance that a Coupon will be payable in any subsequent year during the Term of the Note.
Early trading charges/Secondary market
The Agent intends in normal market conditions, concurrently with HSBC Securities (Canada) Inc., and subject to certain conditions, to use reasonable efforts to provide daily a secondary market price for the Notes during the term, in which the maximum bid-offer spread will be one per cent of the Bid Price (excluding commissions) when orders and settlements are made through FundSERV and one per cent of the Principal Amount (excluding commissions) when orders and settlements are not made through FundSERV. Sale of Notes prior to maturity may be subject to an Early Trading Charge as follows:
Time period | Early trading charge |
Issue Date to and including 29 July 2009 | 3.75% |
30 July 2009 to and including 29 January 2010 | 2.75% |
1 February 2010 to and including 29 July 2010 | 1.75% |
30 July 2010 to and including the 28 January 2011 | 0.75% |
31 January 2011 to and including the Maturity Date | 0.00% |
During the term of the Notes, you may inquire as to the net asset value of a Note or the level of the underlying Reference Shares and how they relate to the annual Coupons that are payable under the Notes by contacting HSBC at +1 866 511 4722 or Fiera Capital at +1 866 323 5598. Please see the Information Statement for further details or contact your investment adviser.
Risk factors
Noteholders should carefully review and consider all risks set forth in the Information Statement with their investment adviser, including:
- Notes will not constitute insured deposits under Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada)
- A Noteholder may not receive more than the minimum Coupon amount of CAD1.00 per Note on each Coupon Payment Date in the first and second year
- A Noteholder will not receive more than the maximum Coupon amount of CAD7.00 per Note on each Coupon Payment Date
- The Principal Amount is payable only if Notes are held to maturity
- There is no guaranteed secondary market
- Price or other movements in the Reference Shares are unpredictable
- The historical or pro forma performance of each Reference Share is not an indication of future performance
- Conflicts of interest with the Calculation Agent
- Adjustments as a result of certain Special Circumstances
Additional information
Right of Cancellation – A subscriber may cancel an order to purchase a Note (or cancel the purchase of a Note if the Note has been issued) by providing written instructions to the Agent or HSBC directly or through his or her investment adviser any time up to two days after the later of (i) the day on which the agreement to purchase the Note is entered into and (ii) deemed receipt of this Information Statement. Such notice should be directed to: Senior Vice President, HSBC Derivative Products Group, 70 York Street, 8th Floor, Toronto, ON M5J 1S9, Fax 416 868 3088. This right of cancellation does not extend to Noteholders buying a Note in any secondary market.

Ethics done Right is not a monograph but a collection of (mainly previously published) papers. These are brought closer together by an introduction which highlights (and offers further defence for) the main methodological insight which they all share, namely that we can and therefore should defend our normative and practical ethical views (Millgram uses the term 'theories' but is open to the possibility that what we end up with may be unsystematic, p.5) by first defending an account of practical reasoning from which they may emerge. With the exception of the first and last chapters most of the book only does this implicitly, by rigorously applying the methodology to be defended to a number of moral questions. Millgram does not defend any particular normative theory in the process, though the fourth essay ('Reasonably Virtuous') looks to a future where having deployed the 'method of practical reasoning' we may well find ourselves developing new moral theories that need not fit our current preconceptions.
The book's two-fold aim is thus to (i) show that all normative ethical theories presuppose some kind of 'theory' of practical reasoning and (ii) to critically evaluate a number of these views (including utilitarian, Kantian, Humean, and particularist ones). Millgram succeeds on both counts, but also does so much more, making important contributions to Hume and Mill exegesis along the way (essays 6-8 and 2 respectively) that no scholar of either philosopher can afford to miss. His revisionist 'Was Hume a Humean?' (Chapter Seven) in particular, ought to be a staple in future anthologies of Hume scholarship, alongside related papers by Christine Korsgaard and Jean Hampton. In this controversial paper (first published in 1995) Millgram argues persuasively that Hume is not, as commonly assumed, an instrumentalist about practical reasoning but, rather, a kind of error theorist about it. This interpretation is strengthened by an independent argument in Chapter Eight (Hume on "Is" and "Ought"', originally published as 'Hume on Practical Reasoning' in 1997).
The popular methodological alternative to practical reasoning is, of course, John Rawls' method of reflective equilibrium. In his introduction, Millgram produces the first building blocks of an interesting case for why practical reasoning is preferable to this, but it would have been nice to see him develop it more fully (anticipating possible objections and so on) in a full-length essay. As it stands, for a book that is dedicated 'for (and against) John Rawls', Ethics done Right does not give reflective equilibrium the full attention it deserves.
Be that as it may, this book remains loaded with thoughtful comments and arguments that will, at the very least, be of interest to anyone interested in theoretical ethics, not least of all those working on the nature of reasons for action. It would be unsurprising, however, if it endured to become influential enough to mark the beginning of a new school. Millgram convinces that the method of practical reasoning requires serious attention by moral philosophers of all persuasions. Only time will tell whether enough of them will listen.

Introduced in House (06/19/2008)
Climate Market, Auction, Trust & Trade Emissions Reduction System Act of 2008, or the Climate MATTERS Act of 2008 - Declares the purpose of this Act to establish a federal program to reduce US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions substantially enough by 2050 to avert the catastrophic impacts of global climate change.

Requires distribution of certain funds for grants for fixed guideway transit and other specified alternative transportation projects.
Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to: (1) develop a federal greenhouse gas registry; (2) make certain GHG emission determinations for covered facilities; and (3) promulgate regulations that require that U.S. GHG emissions in uncovered sectors do not grow.

Teen dd with very itchy legs. She's scratching them until they bleed
(21 Posts)I have had the same problem as long as I can remember and recently reduced/cut out gluten and my legs not itching is one of the main things I have noticed.
Message deleted by Mumsnet for breaking our Talk Guidelines. Replies may also be deleted.
Everyone will recommend a certain cream to you - they may work, they may not. You need to find the one that works for your dd.
I've experienced severe guttate psorasis with my dd who's only 8. She was completely covered head to toe in angry, unsightly, extremely itchy spots. She couldn't sleep at night as things were so itchy. We suffered 12 months under the GP (which is where my extensive experience of various creams comes from) until we ended with UV light treatment at the hospital for months. She's now clear (ish).
However, I'm going off track - what I mean to say is that in my experience soooo many people will tell you "it's this" "it's that" "stop using this washing powder" "start eating pumpkins seeds" etc. You need to see the GP who will tell you what is actually is.
It's probably (see hear I go!) a touch of eczema. I won't recommend a cream but all I can say is when you get one, moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Most people with skin issues don't moisturise nearly enough, and you need to do it ALL the time - not just when your skin is dry.
Sorry, I hope I don't come across as being on a soapbox there
Oh god, being itchy is a cruel torture. Yes slapping can help, as can pressing hard rather than scratching. Anti histamine to take down the irritation, quit the fake tan for now and diversion tactics - anything to prevent the scratching, so the itch-scratch cycle is broken.
I had this. Eucerin anti itch spray was great to help break the cycle. She needs to try and not scratch as it makes it worse. I have heard that slapping rather than scratching can help.
Hmmm. Stop fake tan?
Dermol is eczema cream. It has an anti itch ingredient.
Avoid perfumed products. Emollient on a lot.
Dress to avoid being able to itch. PJs?
She is 15 and a fan of fake tan, so it could be that.
I'll take her to the docs i think, as they can probably give her something better than I can get over the counter.
Thank you
I get this too, often after swimming. To the point that I can't go anymore. Lots of moisturising cream, but an unperfumed one.
I am the same and you are right about it being partly habit.
I find that it's particularly bad when the central heating goes on in the late summer early autumn.
Garnier hydrolock has really worked for me - seems to stay for ages.
I was like this as a teen. From about 13-19yo.
E45 and oilatum where both rubbish.
I had sores from scratching so much. I tried a million and one creams and none worked.
I ended up having to wear these incredibly smelly bandages every few weeks. Some sort of tar stuff. I did that for about a year and the it started to happen less and less.
The agony of not being able to get into the bandages to scratch still haunts me!
The only thing that stops my itchy shins is Protect and Perfect Intensive Serum, which I buy from Boots when it's on special offer as it's quite pricey.
I had this as a teen and it turned out to be scabies!
Everyone said that I was imagining it and making it worse by scratching. Then my Mum eventually remembered that I had shared a bed on holiday with my friend who had been scratching like mad, asked her Mum and was told scabies.
It was the itchiest thing I have ever had in my life, horrible. Tiny mites that live under the skin.
I get this. Agree with very generous moisturising, and frequently. I find eucerin and diprobase are good. Both available on prescription. Also, is she removing hair? This can aggravate the situation, both the method and the regrowth.
Oilatum makes my skin worse. I think it is the perfume.
I get this if I use any shower gel or soap. I now use Dermol in the shower which is an emollient and soap substitute. It is expensive but can be got on prescription.
My legs get super itchy when dry - best thing is a bath wit Oilatum, slather in Aveeno or other thick moisturiser, then put cotton leggings on and really let it soak in overnight.
I'm also sensitive to our leather sofa, and if I'm wearing pjs or something else that doesn't cover my lower legs and have my feet up, that makes them itch terribly, so worth thinking about
Aveeno cream is really soothing and you can get it on prescription.
I do this, my legs seem to get so dry and then itch like mad, no matter how much I moisturise. It's worse in winter, central heating and dry air I suppose. Oilatum is the only cream I've found that really helps stop the itching in the first place. It's so hard not to scratch when it relieves it though, even temporarily, the pain comes later but of course you've done it by then and can't un-scratch...
Does she still get free prescriptions? If so, take her to the Dr.
I get extremely itchy shins when the weather changes and often scratch til they bleed. Turns out its eczema so she would be able to get the dr to give her cream on prescription.
But yes, something like E45, definitely non-perfumed as scents will only irritate it more.
Suggest try some sort of easy-to-apply moisturising cream. If she has any skin sensitivities, try something non-perfumed like E45. She risks getting it infected (plus it must hurt!) if she scratches it till it bleeds.
What can I buy to help with it ??
I think it is half problem and half habit tbh

GAY NEW YORK Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940. By George Chauncey. Illustrated. 478 pp. New York: Basic Books. $25.
GEORGE CHAUNCEY'S enormously informative "Gay New York" goes far to shatter the idea that until the gay rights movement of the 1970's homosexuals lived furtive, isolated and self-hating lives. Drawing on oral histories, diaries, police records, newspaper accounts and other sources, Mr. Chauncey re-creates a New York in which homosexuals "forged a distinctive culture with its own language and customs, its own traditions and folk histories, its own heroes and heroines." Until a crackdown against "immorality" in the Roaring Twenties resulted in a backlash against them, the author argues, homosexuals successfully carved out public and private spaces for themselves, making New York a flourishing gay capital of America for decades.
Mr. Chauncey, who teaches American history at the University of Chicago, limits his study to the gay male world that existed in New York in the 50 years before the start of World War II. Lesbians sometimes patronized the cafeterias, dance halls and nightclubs where gay men congregated; yet the culture and institutions created by homosexual men were different enough from those created by lesbians to warrant independent treatment. Perhaps because sources were lacking, Mr. Chauncey scants upper-class homosexuals, but middle-class and working-class gay life are portrayed in rich detail.
The author maintains that men who sought other men as sexual partners were able to create a complex social life and subculture despite prejudice and hostility because many straight New Yorkers were either indifferent to or curious about gay life. Though legal repression could be harsh, he writes, it was too inconsistently applied to destroy the social networks and institutions of male homoeroticism.
Gay male social life can be documented for earlier periods in New York history, but Mr. Chauncey begins his narrative toward the end of the 19th century, when saloons and dance halls hospitable to gay men were largely restricted to disreputable sections of the city in the Bowery and along the waterfront (where female prostitution also thrived). There, the author writes, men who did not necessarily consider themselves homosexual but who nevertheless sought male sex partners could find cross-dressing, flamboyantly effeminate "fairies" of working-class origin. At some social clubs, he writes, as many as 500 male-male and female-female couples waltzed to live band music.
Mr. Chauncey depicts a society in which men were not "divided into 'homosexuals' and 'heterosexuals' " but rather into categories like "fairies," "queers," "trade" and "gays." "Each," he notes, "had a specific connotation and signified specific subjectivities." As used within the emerging gay subculture, these terms did not have the pejorative connotations that some would later acquire.
The "fairies," Mr. Chauncey argues, adopted effeminacy not because they read psychiatric journals linking homosexuality with effeminacy, as the French historian Michel Foucault and others have maintained, but to make themselves more acceptable to men whose usual sex partners were women. Many men who had sex with "fairies" were from the working class, he writes; at the turn of the century, a high proportion of New York's immigrant communities consisted of unattached men who could think of themselves as "normal" when they turned to a male sex partner, provided that the partner was effeminate and provided that they could define their own role in the interaction as masculine.
Restrictive immigration laws adopted after World War I reduced the influx of unmarried men deprived of women. As the imbalance in the sex ratio of the population diminished, Mr. Chauncey says, so did the number of men who had non-exclusive sexual relations with other men.
Early in the 20th century some middle-class men began to define themselves as "queer" or homosexual in the absence of effeminacy based on their erotic interest in other men. At the same time, Mr. Chauncey suggests, other men began to think of themselves as "straight" or heterosexual based on their lack of erotic interest in other men.
In private, some "queers" might draw on elements of the "fairy" style to camp it up by using feminine names, pronouns and mannerisms to subvert the rigidity of sex roles in the dominant world of "normals." Even though "queers" made up the majority of the gay world, the author writes, much of the public was completely unaware of their existence because their appearance in public did not violate the conventional expectations.
Some "queers" sought other "queer" partners, Mr. Chauncey writes; others, considering themselves psychologically feminine even though they were not effeminate in appearance or manner, sought "highly masculine 'normal' " men who held blue-collar jobs, many of whom -- including quite a few who were married -- responded to their solicitations. The composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes, for example, established a long-term relationship with a married Irish policeman.

PC Coupon not working on Ksenia / Is the pricing for Steam Truck Red Bizon correct?
Like the title says, I can't use my current PC coupon on Ksenia (published artist: DAZ) (http://www.daz3d.com/shop/ksenia-for-v4/).
Last month the June coupon was not working either. Therefore I'm guessing the problem might not have anything to do with the specific product I'm trying to buy now. Can I not use the coupon because the product is currently available at a reduced price and coupons don't apply to special offers? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I was wondering whether the price for Steam Truck Red Bizon (http://www.daz3d.com/shop/steam-truck-red-bizon/), which is another item I would like to get, is indeed 99 dollars, or whether that price tag is a mistake. It's a nice model for sure, but 99 bucks is a bit too much. :-)

You are not currently showing as a PC member. This would explain why you are not seeing the correct price for PC members as regards both the items you mention.
If you should have a current PC membership then you need to send a support ticket to Sales dept, using the " "contact us" button from the "Help" at the top of the forum page.Post edited by Chohole on -

Thanks, chohole, for the quick reply regarding the coupon! That's weird because I should show as a PC member. Just checked my account and my credit card data etc. is all indicated correctly. I've just sent out a support ticket and hope things will get sorted out soon.

NEW YORK -- Travis d'Arnaud was cleared Thursday to begin baseball activities including running, throwing and hitting in a cage. The go-ahead came nine days after d'Arnaud suffered a concussion as the result of getting struck on the top of the head by Alfonso Soriano's backswing in the Bronx.
D'Arnaud still may be several days away from returning to the lineup. Terry Collins mentioned he would like d'Arnaud to get at-bats on a rehab assignment. Physicians will need to sign off before any game activity occurs.
Travis d'Arnaud
New York Mets
D'Arnaud said he was symptom-free for the first time Wednesday. Previously, he was dealing with "a lot of headaches," sensitivity to light and sound, and trouble sleeping.
"I was just laying in bed," d'Arnaud said. "Sometimes if I was bored of that I'd go to the couch and lay on the couch. That's pretty much it."
D'Arnaud indicated he has now suffered three concussions during his professional career. One came on April 25, 2011, while he was playing in Double-A with the Toronto Blue Jays, when he was struck with consecutive foul balls and immediately became dizzy. He departed that game an inning later. The other came in 2008 on a play at the plate as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, when he took a foot to the face after discarding his mask.
As for the Soriano backswing, d'Arnaud noted it was violent enough that it knocked him to the ground. Still, he wanted to finish the game.
"There were two outs in the ninth," he said. "I just tried to finish the game out. There was nothing too severe right after the game. Right when I was heading home, the headaches and loss of balance and dizziness, lightheadedness all started coming into effect."
D'Arnaud watched Wednesday's game from the dugout for the first time in a week. He had to abandon watching the previous Wednesday because the light and noise were too much to handle.
D'Arnaud was wearing a goaltender-style mask that provides more protection when his past two concussions occurred. He wants to switch back to the more traditional style with a separate skullcap and mask. D'Arnaud said his positioning behind the plate really is not an issue. He moved backward at the Mets' encouragement beginning last season.
"I feel great," d'Arnaud insisted.

Review of Outta Control Single by 50 Cent
50 Cent
feat. Mobb Deep - Outta Control
50 Cent is back with a new album and a new single featuring Mobb Deep that I'm sure he's very chuffed about. He must be thanking his lucky stars that he got the chance to work with one of his idols Mobb Deep. Renowned pioneers of street ghetto hip hop music, this crew consist of serious angst and determination. You had to be resolute about lyrics, delivery and hip hop expression if you were into this guys and whoa betide those who were frontin'.
So how does this collaboration work with 50 Cent, the hip hop man of the moment, and the infamous Mobb Deep? Well they both come from the same line of thinking. They've shared gangster lives, an ambition to get out of the ghetto and hip hop fame. They've got money and respect, and, it would seem they're having a good time. 'Outta Control' is ironic if you look at the past lives of these artists. From desperation and hustling of the old days to looking forward a bright fun filled future. They're successful now. Gone are the days of living on the knife edge. Let's enjoy our fame and take pimping to the next level.
There's a lot of love and respect in the room with Dre producing the music and creating plenty of space. The track is funky with a Westcoast bass, classy jazz guitar and excellent use of piano chords to creates a tune that hits the right signature of where hip hop is right now in the mainstream. A kind of glossy acceptance of players, consumption and money. 50 doesn't to me, quite stand up to Mobb Deep vocally, yet I guess the Queensbridge Mobb like where the party's going.
What's clear is that this tune works. It's got a heavy, infectious feel and still remains edgy in the hip hop sense. Its got all the aspects for crossover success and you can still remain cool if you like it. A winner for dancefloors for this current time yet far removed from the underground dynamism that created hip hop in the first place. Who would of thought the ghetto could get so glamorous.

Achieving landscape and wildlife protection through community engagement and empowerment.
There is a powerful connection between people and the critical landscapes that nourish the Northwest's ecosystems and communities. Our investments in this program serve the larger goal of engaging citizens and communicating their conservation interests to decision-makers.
Priorities for funding are grounded in the science of conservation biology, as well as the social and political sciences. These grants address the pressing challenge of maintaining the ecological viability of our regional landscapes.
Resting at the crossroads between the Rockies and the Cascades, connecting forested and shrub-steppe ecosystems. This fast-growing region is home to a diverse and active population with increasing influence on statewide policies.
A key north-south wildlife corridor stretching from the Canadian Central Rockies to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The landscape ranges from rolling prairies to steep mountain walls to wide glaciated valleys.
A rare east-west linkage zone between the Yellowstone and Salmon-Selway ecoregions, spanning low elevation wetlands and high alpine terrain. This region is tremendously important to the continued viability of many species and faces increasing pressures from irresponsible development.
By the time the foundation sunsets in 2020, we aim to see:
President Obama announced the expansion of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. The expansion adds 48,000 acres to the current 65,000 acres. The area is an extremely biologically rich region where the Cascade, Great Basin, and Coast Range-Klamath ecosystems come together. Brainerd grantee Soda Mountain Wilderness Council has worked tirelessly for decades to protect this unique place.
Go »A recent article in Western Confluence magazine shines the spotlight on several Brainerd grantees, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Ruby Valley Conservation District, Headwaters Economics, the Blackfoot Challenge, and People and Carnivores. The author offers an excellent analysis of the absolute necessity of factoring in working lands in wildlife conservation and demonstrates the solutions-based work of ranchers in the High Divide, one of the Brainerd Foundation's place-based focus areas.
Go »The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that an environmental review by the Bureau of Land Management failed to adequately assess the winter population of Greater Sage-Grouse at a proposed wind power facility that would have been located in dwindling sagebrush habitat on Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon. The proposal was called "the right idea in the wrong place," as Greater Sage-Grouse need sagebrush year-round for mating, rearing, and food. The Brainerd Foundation supports the work of the Oregon Natural Desert Association to protect the high desert landscapes of Oregon.
Go »Place-based conservation grants range from $25,000 to $50,000 and can be awarded for multiple years. Inquiries are accepted on an ongoing basis. Grants are awarded at one of three board meetings held each year. Proposals are accepted by invitation only.

Those associated with UW-Madison's Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA) take a look back at the 2013-14 academic year. Following are several of the highlights …
In an effort to provide service to the Madison community, SOTA has continued its two major service projects. The first is in partnership with the Badger Childhood Cancer Network. Once a month, students provide childcare while parents of children who have, or have had, cancer take part in a support group. These students lead the children in art projects and play games with them.
Students also took part in a range of other activities during the year, including Family Night at the Museum, an event in April for teen parents and their families held at the Madison Children's Museum. MSOT students provided information on child development and led an activity for attending families to make sensory bottles to take home.
In February, SOTA members also participated in the Polar Plunge, and jumped into ice-cold water to support Special Olympics.
In October 2013, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) walk event brought OT students together with community members and other disciplines to raise awareness and funds for mental health care. Students last fall also continued to be involved in the Expanding Your Horizons conference by volunteering to help run a career day for middle school girls with interests in the fields of math and science.
A group of students and faculty of the MSOT program journeyed to Baltimore in April for the AOTA Conference. The students report that those who had never attended the conference before found the presentations and lectures to be extremely powerful and inspirational.
The opportunity to interact with practicing OTs from around the country served as a great reminder of what this program's students hope to achieve in their future careers.
• The American Occupational Therapy Foundation announced its list of 2014 scholarship recipients this past summer, and two UW–Madison master's students were winners. Katie Ehlers was selected to receive the Willard and Spackman Scholarship, worth $2,000, while Anne Rego was awarded the Wisconsin Occupational Therapy Association Endowed Scholarship worth $1,000.
• Ehlers presented a poster at the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) in Atlanta on May 15. It was titled, "Stressful, Hopeful, Weak, and Strong Ecological Connections and the Well-Being of Parents of Adolescents with ASD," with UW–Madison's Jocelyn Kuhn and Dr. Leann Smith.
• The class of 2014 celebrated commencement at Camp Randall Stadium in May, followed by an evening banquet organized by SOTA. These students are now embarking on their first level 2 fieldwork experiences. Meanwhile, the MSOT class of 2016 was welcomed to the program with an orientation and reception on June 6 at Union South. Faculty and current students attended.
• OT and PT students worked together to organize and run a job fair that welcomed potential employers from many healthcare businesses. The event was well attended by both programs as well as some SLP students, and it was considered a great success.
• The work of Theodore Howard and Sabrina Hilton, both of whom are pursuing graduate degrees from the Master of Science-Occupational Therapy Program (MSOT), had work featured in the eighth annual Health Sciences Student Art Show on campus this spring.

Smoking and Tobacco |
Smoking clinics01/26/2000 |
All data indicates that nicotine is more addictive than cocaine or herion. why then are there no detox centers ? Also in this age of medical advances why must smoking cessation be a self help project? Do you think anyone would choose to smoke with the new data out.
These are excellent questions! One reason there are no detox centers for nicotine addiction is that insurance coverage for any inpatient detox program is extremely limited. However, nicotine replacement therapy with gum or patch is very effective, especially when combined with a behavioral program like those offered by American Cancer Society, American Heart Assoc, and American Lung Association.
