A number of solutions can help you rebuild your credit if you are unable to pay your bills. Learn the pros and cons of many debt-reduction methods, including bankruptcy.
If you are drowning in debt and can't pay your bills, you need to act quickly to rebuild your credit. You have a number of solutions available, with bankruptcy as a last resort. We recommend reading the pamphlet Surviving Debt, Counseling Families in Financial Trouble, put out by the National Consumer Law Center. It should be available through your local library or contact
What with all the recent news of foreclosures, this is a popular site and resource.
If you find you cannot make your payments, contact your creditors at once. If you have paid your bills promptly in the past, they may be willing to work with you. Do not wait until your account has been turned over to a collection agency. At that point, the creditor has given up on you.
You can ask creditors to rewrite your loans to extend the time you have to pay and to change the payments so that you can afford to make them. After all, what other choice do they have but to sue you, which will cost them a lot of money and cause a lot more headaches. The extensions will increase your overall cost, because the creditors will charge you interest over a longer period.
Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCSs) are not-for-profit organizations located in virtually every city. For a modest fee, the CCCS provides debt counseling services for families and individuals with serious financial problems. The Services are supported by contributions from banks, consumer finance companies, credit unions, merchants and other community-minded firms and individuals.
A credit counselor meets with you and analyzes your total financial situation. The counselor may develop a repayment plan and contact your creditors to arrange new repayment terms. The counselor also offers education and helps you design a budget so that you can stick to the repayment plan and avoid future financial difficulty.
If you are having trouble paying your bills, you may be tempted to turn to a company that claims to offer assistance in solving debt problems. There are people who claim they can resurrect your credit. But be very careful. They are expensive and often involved in fraudulent schemes, which can leave you worse off than your original credit problems.
Before signing with such a company, investigate it. Be sure you understand the services the company says it will provide and what it will cost you. Do not rely on oral promises that are not in the contract. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau and your state or local consumer protection office. They may be able to tell you whether other consumers have registered complaints about the company.
These private businesses lend you money to pay off all your debts. You then owe only one creditor—the loan consolidation company. The good news is that you pay only one check a month, you can repay over a long term, and you can make low monthly payments. The bad news is that the interest charged by loan consolidators may be very high, and you may be hit with a stiff fee for paying off the loan ahead of schedule.
Another danger is that a consolidation loan does nothing to resolve the habits and tendencies that often caused the credit problems in the first place. If you go to the trouble of setting up a consolidation loan, only to again build up an equally imposing mountain of debt the next time you have the opportunity to do so, you won't have accomplished much, and possibly will be worse off than before the consolidation. Unfortunately, this is all too common. And if you have pledged the equity in your home as security for the consolidation loan (usually known as "home equity" loans), you may end up both broke and homeless.
Most credit counselors advocate the general rule that you should not convert unsecured debt into secured debt. Following this rule would mean not using your home equity to collateralize your credit card debt. Although this is certainly a logical and prudent rule, like most general rules, we think there are times where exceptions may be in order. For instance, such a loan may be appropriate if most or all of the following factors are true:
The federal bankruptcy laws provide debtors with an opportunity for a fresh start. In turn, they provide creditors with an orderly, equitable means of allocating the debtor's limited resources among them.
Bankruptcy is a complex and mufti-faceted legal concept. We'll only briefly review the types of bankruptcy filings and what bankruptcy filings can and cannot do. If you're considering this course of action, seek the advice and assistance of an attorney experienced in bankruptcy law. We also recommend reading our Asset Protection article.
The Bankruptcy Code is divided into chapters. A debtor who is an individual (as opposed to a business entity) typically can make one of two choices for filing bankruptcy: a Chapter 7 "Liquidation" (the traditional bankruptcy) or a Chapter 13 "Adjustment of the Debts of an Individual with Regular Income."
Upon the filing of any bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay goes into effect. This is of key importance because the stay forces an immediate halt to repossessions, foreclosures, evictions, garnishments, attachments, utility shut-offs and debt collection harassment. It offers the debtor a breathing spell during which the debtor and the bankruptcy trustee can review the situation and develop an appropriate plan. Creditors cannot take any further action against the debtor or the property without permission from the bankruptcy court.
Chapter 7
In a chapter 7 liquidation, the bankruptcy court appoints a trustee to examine the debtor's assets. All the assets will be identified by the trustee and categorized as exempt or nonexempt property.
Although a liquidation can rarely protect a debtor from a secured creditor (the secured creditor still has the right to repossess the collateral), the debtor will be discharged from the legal obligation to pay most unsecured debts such as credit card debts, medical bills and utility arrearages. Even certain types of unsecured debt are allowed special treatment and cannot be discharged. These include some student loans, alimony, child support, criminal fines, and some taxes.
Chapter 13
In a chapter 13 adjustment of debts, the debtor puts forward a plan, following the rules set forth in the bankruptcy laws, to repay all creditors over a period of time, usually from future income. A chapter 13 adjustment of debts may be advantageous because it allows the debtor to catch up on mortgages or car loans without the threat of foreclosure or repossession and allows the debtor to keep both exempt and nonexempt property.
The debtor's plan is a simple document outlining to the bankruptcy court how the debtor proposes to pay current expenses while paying off all the old debt balances. The debtor's property is protected from seizure from creditors, including mortgage and other lien holders, as long as the proposed payments are made. The plan generally requires monthly payments to the bankruptcy trustee over a period of three to five years. Arrangements can be made to have these payments made automatically through payroll deductions.
Bankruptcy can make it possible for a financially distressed individual to:
Bankruptcy cannot cure every financial problem. It is not possible to:
Federal law allows for a bankruptcy to be recorded as part of a debtor's credit history for 10 years. Whether or not the debtor will be granted credit during the years following bankruptcy is unpredictable.
In some cases, it may actually be easier to obtain credit as potential new creditors may feel that, because the old debts have been discharged, they will be first in line for future payments. They also recognize that the debtor cannot file again for bankruptcy for at least the next seven years.
Debtors can, after bankruptcy, voluntarily pay a discharged debt to a creditor, such as a doctor or hospital, toward whom they feel a special moral obligation or with whom they wish to maintain credit. Such payments are voluntary, do not reaffirm the past obligation and do not create a new obligation.
Bankruptcy is a complex and multi-faced legal concept. We'll only briefly review the types of bankruptcy filings and what bankruptcy filings can and cannot do. If you're considering this course of action, seek the advice and assistance of an attorney experienced in bankruptcy law. See also the discussion in [asset protection.]

What is the strange power of Sofia's icon? ...his eyes passed over Sofia's icon, and he again was surprised by the brilliance of its colors. Picking the object up, he observed that, in addition to its unusual glow, there was now and even stranger visual effect: all four of the icon's borders had begun to shimmer like a fluid, moving slightly to and from in violation of its rectangular form. Oddly, when he focused on any one of the edges, he found that it quickly became stable and ordinary, while the remaining edges continued to move in the periphery. George was about to put the icon back on his desk when he noticed that it possessed a strong and beautiful fragrance, reminiscent of cedar. Although he couldn't identify the odor, he knew he had smelled it before, long ago. It was the type of smell that brought back memories --not memories of specific events, but rather vague memories of feelings that had not been experienced in a long time. He placed teh icon on his desk, but continued trying to identify the smell and the memories it evoked. Sitting back in his chair, he closed his eyes...Powers, Michael R. is the author of 'Icons' with ISBN 9781931333269 and ISBN 1931333262.

When we think about death not many of us consider the actual gunk that bodies leave behind — the fluids and gases of decomposition. In the case of murder, suicide or unexpectedly fatal illness, things are not likely to be pleasant or tidy.
Sarah Sudhoff takes portraits of these messes. She shoots swatches of material collected at death-site cleanups in a series called At the Hour of Our Death.
"My intention with the images is not to be shocking or gory," says Sudhoff. "I can understand how some people might see them as being so; especially those who have never witnessed a severe injury or illness or the death of a loved one."
Originally Sudhoff planned to photograph scenes of death before and after the work of cleanup crews "juxtaposing the event with the absence of the event" but she was roundly ignored by the companies she contacted. The project took a new direction after Sudhoff met a clean-up crew returning with material from the scene of a suicide.
"I was shown an oval shaped section of mattress which had been removed," says Sudhoff. "Visually these smaller, concentrated fragments of evidence grabbed my attention. The stains from this person's passing transformed the ordinary beige mattress into beautiful hues of yellow and red."
There's a good chance Sarah Sudhoff has thought a little more about death than the average twenty-something. In 2004, she went through treatment for cervical cancer. In her series that followed, titled Repository (NSFW), Sudhoff viscerally photographs hospitals, morgues and medical museums with herself as a model.
"My experiences with illness and death are not out of the ordinary," says Sudhoff. "However, my understanding of my own mortality and those of my loved ones has been by effected by experiencing different manners in which people can and do die."
Without chemical intervention, dead bodies degrade rapidly. When a human heart stops, gravity pulls blood to the lowest points of the body, skin adopts a chalky pallor and, with the onset of rigor mortis, calcium ions move into muscle tissue. Bacteria within the corpse rapidly multiply and — if the mouth is not ajar — escaping gases push it open. Expect this noxious sigh about three hours after death. In the absence of embalming and/or refrigeration, putrefaction kicks in after 48 hours. The flesh — now a creamy consistency — turns black where it is exposed. Decomposition speeds up; the body collapses. As the body dries out, some surfaces may develop mold; cheese-like odors come to the fore.
These are the realities that Sudhoff sees as whitewashed for the average person, with an alienating and dissociative effect on our view of death. She is not comfortable with the impersonal clean-up job that characterizes our funeral industry. Her photographs of stains on fabric – stains that are the result of exiting body fluids after death – are part memorial to the deceased and part protest against the denial shrouding death and decay in our culture.
"People are no longer dying under the care of an immediate family member," says Sudhoff. "This care and clean up is hired out. I am not making a judgment on this practice but rather suggesting that these actions remove us from the eventuality of what is to come."
It's common practice, for example, to preserve a corpse in order to present it as if it were still living during an open-casket funeral. It gives us finality, but not reality. U.S. laws on the treatment of bodies are determined by individual states, though it is generally required that corpses are refrigerated and embalmed within 24 hours. Embalming on a large scale was first ordered by Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War to ensure families received well-preserved bodies of dead soldiers since transporting the dead home took weeks.
And her own inevitable demise? Sudhoff is keenly aware of the business of death.
"I have already communicated my final wishes to my family," she says. "I do not wish to become the property of an undertaker. I do not wish my body to be drained and pumped full of chemicals and placed inside a fancy facade. Rather, I want my body to be cared for by those who knew and loved me. To be buried in a dirt grave or wooden box. Simple, straightforward and personal."
Filmmakers Mark and Angela Walley follow photographer Sarah Sudhoff as she works on her series titled At the Hour of Our Death. In the film, Sudhoff discusses the invisibility of death in our culture.

At the Hour of Death was shot on a Contax 645, 120mm Macro lens, Fujichrome Provia 100.
Photography has long had an association with death. Post-mortem photography has existed since the birth of the medium. Walter Schels' Life Before Death , made up of portraits of willing participants before and after their death, went on show recently in London. Of contemporary photographers dealing with the subject of death, Sudhoff lists Andres Serrano, Sam Taylor-Wood and Joel Peter-Witkin, but Sally Mann – an artist Sudhoff describes as showing "reverence and kindness to the deceased" – is her largest inspiration.

Highland Park Cemetery to Reopen on Saturday, Volunteers Still Needed
A Casper cemetery imperiled by downed tree limbs and branches following last week's record snow storm will reopen this weekend thanks to volunteer support.
Keep Casper Beautiful administrative coordinator Beth Andress says over 30 volunteers cleared debris from Highland Park Cemetery this week. The cemetery is scheduled to reopen this Saturday.
Andress says the volunteers completed a colossal task.
"It's one of the largest areas within the city of Casper that's owned by the city – the city supervisor described it as, '… it looked like a tornado had gone through.'" Andress said. "Volunteers were able to get all 58 acres cleared in four days."
Andress says Keep Casper Beautiful is looking for additional volunteers to help clean several additional city parks that were affected by the storm.
"Luckily, in most of those parks, we don't think there's any damage to the playgrounds or the structures, but the fallen tree branches do make it hard to use the park," Andress said. "We're just looking at getting those areas cleaned up so the public can continue to use the park like they always have."
Keep Casper Beautiful is aiming to start cleanup efforts at those parks by this weekend.
Volunteer information and online signup forms can be found by visiting Keep Casper Beautiful's website.

Fashion Police:Sandra Rojo
30-12-2011This week i-Marbella concentrated our fashion eye on Sandra Rojo, owner of fashion store Bailly in Fuengirola, to know more about her style.
1. How do you define your style?
Like all women I adapt my style to every situation, but I would define it as romantic and feminine, but with one common denominator: discretion. I'm addicted to mixtures in a look! Casual with classic elegant sport, but very discreet colors.
2. What is your ideal look for the day? And for the night?
Jeans with sneakers or flat boots combined with a blazer and a basic tee but with some cleavage is my best option for the day, do not give up femininity but I make sure its comfortable!
And for the night I prefer a strapless dress in any of its versions: sheer, tight, short, long ... ... I love them!
3. Do you spend much time creating your look?
The truth is that I have hardly time to think about my look, which is why I bett on safe combinations. As for the hair I always go for a quick but elegant style, such as a high bun or ponytail.
4. Your essential shops are ...
The truth is that in mine I find everything I need! But I enjoy buying "treasures" in the London markets, Korea, Paris ... ... and I lose Jitrois Marbella and K2 ... .. you can not leave there empty-handed! I also love the romantic and bohemian collections Alma Aguilar, Victoria Beckham dresses and jeans for all mankind. I could not do without them!
5. Do you have a garment to the special love you have?
I have several. A Marc Jacobs cream-colored jacket with an air of vintage bought in Paris in a very special trip, a long orange dress with open back from my mother and a jersey Chanel (also my mother's) that's made of black and gold wool and it never gets old!
6. What makes a "good look"?
Pay close attention to different styles that you see on the streets - every detail of the girl who is having a coffee, or the lady walking in front of you can be a source of inspiration. All this combined with a little imagination and any edition of Vogue and you have the perfect look!
7. What is your favorite color?
I love the pastel pink and black! But do not rule out a yellow in the summer if the design is cool!
8. What are your accessories?
I love shoes and handbags. The shoes and bag can completely change a look. For the day I'll take the shopping bag from Prada or Loewe and for nighttime any basic version of Chanel. When it comes to shoes, the truth is I'll take any of my designs. They are so comfortable! Boots for the day and peep toe for the night!
9. What advice would you give to have a successful style?
The key is to feel comfortable in with what you wear. I would rule out very prominent necklines or short skirts, sometimes they can ruin a look that seemed perfect!

FIELDS, JOHN F. (?–?). John F. Fields, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, received title to a labor of land in Brazoria County on August 24, 1824. The colonial census of 1826 listed him as a single man aged between forty and fifty. Fields was likely the same person who captained the Rob Roy and sailed between New Orleans and Texas ports carrying freight, passengers, and mail. The fact that he was a seaman and probably had little desire to farm or ranch possibly accounts for the relatively small size of his grant. He may also have been the John Fields, born in South Carolina about 1785, who lived in Harrison County in 1850.

Bengal have been bowled out for 267 on Day Four of their Ranji Trophy 2013-14 quarter-final against Railways at Kolkata. As they had taken a three-run lead at the end of the first innings, Bengal have left Railways with 271 to get to win and move to the semi-finals.
Starting their innings on Day Three, Anureet Singh rocked Bengal early until Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Wriddhiman Saha rescued them. Shukla essayed a brisk knock and the two batsmen took Bengal to 133 for four at the end of the day.
Early on Day Four, Shukla was dismissed but Saha kept fighting during his 81. Once Saha was out with the score on 214 for seven, things looked difficult for Bengal, but they managed to cross 250 thanks to some late hitting. They were ultimately bowled out for 267. Anureet claimed five wickets.
Brief scores:
Bengal 317 and 267 (Wriddhiman Saha 81, Laxmi Ratan Shukla 74, 5 for 72) lead Railways 314 by 270 runs.

School officials say the concern is their nutritional value, or lack thereof. Each bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos contains 26 grams of fat and a quarter of the mount of salt that is recommended for the day. On top of the artificial coloring and flavoring, some experts say the Cheetos are hyperpalatable, or highly addictive. One school district in Illinois, which used to sell about 150,000 bags each year, has already taken the snack off its menu. Frito Lay, which makes and sells Cheetos, says it is committed to responsible and ethical practices, which includes not marketing our products to children ages 12 and under. While Flamin Hot Cheetos are under fire in schools, kids cant get enough of them. Some even took the liberty to post a YouTube video featuring kids rapping about their love of the snack. This video has been viewed over 3.3 million times and there are Facebook fan pages dedicated to the snack. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

Nintendo Shipping MotionPlus Dongle In June
The device was actually revealed around a year ago, but in the meantime, Nintendo has been working to alleviate Wii console shortages and deliver the incredibly popular DSi. Now, at long last, Nintendo has revealed that the MotionPlus add-on is slated to ship here in America on June 8, 2009. Of note, that date is just days after the E3 conference in California wraps up, so the timing is definitely right.
As for costs, consumers can expect to pay $19.99 per unit, and as with the Nunchucks, they'll be sold individually. In order to fully take advantage of the control enhancements, Nintendo is readying customers for the release of Wii Sports Resort, a beach-themed title that will ship on July 26, 2009 for $49.99 -- but that price does include one MotionPlus adapter.

Get a life! imp.
Hacker-standard way of suggesting that the person to whom it is directed has succumbed to terminal geekdom (see geek). Often heard on Usenet, esp. as a way of suggesting that the target is taking some obscure issue of theology too seriously. This exhortation was popularized by William Shatner on a 1987 "Saturday Night Live" episode in a speech that ended "Get a life!", but some respondents believe it to have been in use before then. It was certainly in wide use among hackers for years before achieving mainstream currency via the sitcom "Get A Life" in 1990.
--The Jargon File version 4.3.1, ed. ESR, autonoded by rescdsk.
Get A Life! was a sitcom on the Fox Network that lasted from November 1990 to March 1992 (2 seasons). The star of the show was Chris Elliott, a balding, pot-bellied, wacky man who began his career on Late Night with David Letterman as an intern.
Chris Elliott played Chris Peterson, a paper "boy" living in the fictional town of Greenland with his parents (until the second season). The catch was that he was 30 years old, hence the show's title. The theme song to the show was a cut of "Stand" by R.E.M..
Regular Cast (in the order credited)
Note: Bob Elliott was in fact Chris Elliott's real life father
A full episode list will be at the bottom, but the first season, generally, was very funny and goofy, with outrageous, quirky, and sometimes disturbing humor. Obviously fake laugh-tracks guffaw at every joke, which, in of itself, of kind of funny. Highlights of the season included episodes where Chris goes to an amusement park and gets stuck on a roller coaster with Larry, becomes a male model, finally learns to drive (failing partially because he pulled the cop's gun out of his holster), joins the cast of a retarded play (where the cast dressed up as animals, roller skated and berated the audience), was overjoyed when construction workers came to the house (whom he worships), gets in a mail-order submarine with his father in the shower (the floor gives way and they fall to the kitchen below in a downpour of water), and trades lives with Larry because of an ancient Indian curse.
The first season established how pathetic and worthless a human being Chris Peterson is, his only real contribution to society is getting his neighbors their morning papers, which he doesn't always do. Somehow, though, his best friend is relatively-adjusted Larry Potter, husband of bitch-monster Sharon Potter. Sharon is a character worthy of her own show: headstrong, impatient, beautiful, masochistic, and loathes Chris more than any other character in the show. Robin Riker really gives a tour de force performance as Sharon Potter, stealing the show from Chris sometimes.
Another excellent stroke of casting comes with Chris' father, played by Bob Elliott. He's hilarious as the curmudgeonly, quick-witted, sharp-tongued Fred Peterson; the show simply would not have been the same without him. Second banana to him was Gladys Peterson played by the always lovely Elinor Donahue, who played Chris' mother multi-layered: at first she seems flaky and painfully unaware, but she has moments of knowing nastiness wrapped up in a deceptive sugar coating of smiling charm. Gladys is always nice to Chris and Fred is usually mean, but both over the course of the series make it known that they couldn't give a flying shit about their son. That's true, actually, for any and all characters in the show, regular or guest star, with the exception of Larry.
One unusual trait of this outrageous comedy series is that sometimes, at or near the end of an episode, Chris dies. Sometimes he dies inexplicably, sometimes you can see it coming. But just like Wile E. Coyote, he's always back for the next episode. This happens more often as the show progresses.
In the first episode of the second season, Chris does what you never thought he would: move out of his parents' house. In the second episode, Larry runs away (this is the only second season episode where Sam Robards appears). Chris finds him again, but only briefly, and by the end of the episode Larry is gone forever. His replacement is retired police officer Gus Borden, whom Chris moved in with the first episode of the season. Brian Doyle-Murray, an SNL alum, is spot on as Gus: grouchy, lively, narcissistic, and even though he took Chris in, like his parents, could really give a shit less about him. That's evident when, upon being taken hostage by his pen pal, a psycho woman (a former inmate in prison), Gus has no qualms about shooting Chris with his rifle instead of trying to hit the woman.
In the second season, the show becomes more and more like a cartoon, with the plots getting more ridiculous (toxic waste turns Chris into an expert speller and Gus into an oragami expert in one installment; Chris travels back into time in another using "time juice" where one ingredient is "a precious lock of Michael J. Fox's hair"), and in virtually every episode Chris dies at the end. The various ways in which Chris bites the dust include: getting his head ripped off, shot, stabbed, blown up (several times), and, of all things, tonsillitis (it kills .001% of all patients, after all). In the unceremonious final episode of the show, which is largely a clip show, he falls out of an airplane. That doesn't kill him, however. Instead he falls on a bed. But unfortunately for Chris, the bed explodes.
Midway through the short season, Chris' parents are phased out. For the final handful of episodes, only Chris, Brian, and Robin appear in the opening credits, even though several episodes before that starts happening the parents don't appear anyway. Episodes begin centering solely on Chris' interaction with Gus, with Robin Riker only getting obligatory screen time in some of them.
The highlight of the season is the second-to-last episode, where, in an E.T. spoof, an alien being crashes to Earth, only to be discovered by Chris who, at first, thinks the sound of the ship crashing is neighborhood kids listening to a Neil Sedaka record (go figure). S.P.E.W.E.Y. ("Special Person Entering the World.....Egg Yolk") is a vile creature, who spews snot everywhere and beats the living crap out of Chris or Gus every chance he gets. Gus beats the alien to death with a rake and the two end up eating his carcass. But S.P.E.W.E.Y. "regenerates from his own leftovers in an accelerated cloning process" and leaves in his spaceship (no transporter; he's carried up tied to a big rope), which dumps a large quantity of the yellow snot that had plagued the cast the entire episode - directly onto Chris and Gus. Fade to black.
Below is an entire list of episodes and air dates I promised earlier, provided by the "Get A Life Program Guide" on www.faqs.org. As you'll notice, running gags are in the episode titles. Some of the episodes, as they're listed, appear a little out of order, but that is according to my fuzzy recollection from actually watching the show over a decade ago.
First Season:
Second Season:
William Shatner and Chris Kreski's names appear on the cover of Get a Life! Any time a celebrity's memoirs receive this kind of credit, we can assume that the material came, largely, from William Shatner, and the thankless task of arranging it in some kind of coherent form fell to Chris Kreski.
Finally, Shatner tells them that he's been coming to conventions for years, and there's something he's always wanted to say.
"Get a life! It's a tv show!" And on he rants, suggesting that they've taken a fun job that ended years ago and turned it into a tremendous waste of time, and that they should probably move out of their parents' basements. He storms off and the geeks become confused, while the studio audience falls off their chairs laughing, and Shatner himself can barely keep character.
The convention organizer drags Shatner back on stage, where he explains that he had been impersonating the evil Kirk from the episode, "The Enemy Within."
At the after-show party, in real life now, a writer tells Shatner that the nerds are going to hate him. Shatner insists that the comment surprised him. He considered the sketch so over-the-top and cartoony, that he did not think for an instant that anyone would be offended.
I remember watching the original. I laughed. Friends of mine who watched the same sketch, many of them diehard SF fans, some of them Trek fans, laughed. Yet when I finally attended an SF convention two years later, I actually met people who had been offended. They felt betrayed, because they'd put so much effort into Trek or Sf fandom generally. Angry because, in fact, Shatner rarely came to conventions, so he wouldn't know now, would he?
In the 1990s, Shatner encountered people with the same attitudes and decided to look into the matter.
Shatner, whatever flaws he may have, has never been one for wide-eyed Trek idolatry. He has parodied his Kirk image, not only on SNL, but in films from Airplane 2: The Sequel to Free Enterprise. He can laugh about the show's cheapness. And he regards the original series' cancellation as a good thing. They had dried up creatively, and they lacked the budget to properly present the good ideas they had:
...all we have to do is hypothesize... what Star Trek's fourth season might have been like. Would Bones marry a Martian? Would high-heeled bikinitrons from the planet Go-Go bump and grind the Enterprise right out of the galaxy? Would we all spend an episode reverting to infancy? Are any of those wild-eyed possibilities even a tiny bit more far-fetched than Abraham Lincoln in space? ....Allowed to survive and publicly wither on the air, we of the Starship Enterprise could very well have disgusted our fans, wearing out our collective welcome. Under those circumstances, Star Trek would today more likely exist solely as a hazily recollected Trivial Pursuit answer (55).
Get a Life! takes a quick look back at the first conventions, but focuses on Shatner's experiences in the 1990s, when he began attending them regularly. For a time, he would put on a rubber mask and wander, largely unrecognized, in order to get a floor-level sense of a con. These portions hold some interest, but Shatner's Trek career has been handled in greater detail in previous books, and he runs out of material quickly.
The remainder of the book consists of anything he and Kreski could convince themselves would interest Trek fans. Explanations of how to properly parody Kirk, from someone with a fair bit of experience in the field. Interviews. An account of a online Trek chat. Bitchy gossip, such as the account of the unnamed cast member who sells pieces of his/her original uniform-- taken from a "huge bolt of material housed in that star's garage"(137). Thoughts about action figures. He also repeats many anecdotes which he uses at conventions, many of them only tenuously connected with Star Trek, or not connected at all. An elephant once shit on Shatner. If you want to hear the details, they're in this book. For the most part, Get a Life! reads like a drooling fanzine, except that the ostensible author is the book's subject. Reading my copy, which my wife found in a dollar bin, I couldn't help but think I was being mocked, after all; any time spent reading this book suggested I really did need to get a life.
I suppose Get a Life! would appeal to collection completists and hardcore trekkies/ers-- provided they have recovered from being told off on a comedy show.

About Augusta
Augusta is the home of the actor George Clooney, television journalist Nick Clooney and family, former home of singer Rosemary Clooney, and birthplace of Miss America 2000, Heather Renee French Henry. In the last quarter century, Augusta has been best known as the site of three major films: Michner's Centennial, PBS' Huckleberry Finn, and Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers.
42 miles southeast of Cincinnati in Bracken County, Augusta sits at the convergence of the Ohio River and Bracken Creek. The Ohio River forms the northern border of the city; the river flows in a straight westerly direction for nine miles without the obstruction of a floodwall. Riverside Drive offers an incredible long-range view of this picturesque river valley. Many people believe it is the most beautiful view of the valley in the entire state of Kentucky. Its earliest history in 1781 showed Augusta as a popular shipping port. During the mid 1800's, European immigrants helped establish a thriving wine industry in Augusta. Today, the surrounding hillsides are still terraced, much the way they are in the famous Rhine Valley in Germany. Augusta and the surrounding area played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad with many sites marked by historical markers.
The river has always played a major role in Augusta's development. A devastating flood in 1997 caused the permanent removal of some homes; it has also enabled the town to develop green spaces and parks. The construction of the O'Neill Riverwalk, along with the boat docking facility provides access for large pleasure and entertainment boats to dock in the town's center. City and County leaders expect the tourism industry to become a major contributor to the economy in the future, but agricultural remains as the primary occupation for most of the 1200 residents.
A ferry service crossing the Ohio River at Augusta has been in continuous operation since 1798. Currently the Jenny Ann remains in daily operation under the auspices of the Augusta Ferry Authority and provides a short ride to Ohio's scenic U.S. 52 along the Ohio River. Kentucky Rt. 8 and 9 (better known as the AA Highway) link Augusta with the rest of Bracken County. Greater Cincinnati International Airport is a 45-minute drive, with Brown County Airport 12 miles away. Amtrak passes through the area with a stop 18 miles away at Maysville.
Residents have their choice of crossing the Ohio River to reach Brown County Hospital 16 miles away in Georgetown, Ohio or heading 18 miles downriver to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, Kentucky. Augusta Fire and EMS provide service to the city.
Most daily needs can be met in Augusta, but most residents shop in Maysville or drive into Cincinnati for major shopping trips. August has quite a few local boutique-style shops as well as local cafes and restaurants.
The Augusta Riverpark public boat launching facility offers easy access to the Ohio River and all of its recreational offerings. Artists and thespians will find an active art guild and theater group. The Augusta Heritage Days River Regatta is a highlight of summer and nearly monthly festivals contribute to an active yearlong entertainment calendar. Residents enjoy a White Christmas Parade, fall Ghost Tour, Fireman's Fourth of July, Turning of the Leaves festival, Swingtime on the River, Art in the Garden among other annual events.

I think we all had to deal with at least one anti-gunner in our lives. I also think there is nothing more unsettling that having an anti-gunner living with you. In my case that applied to my mother who was your tipical hoplophobe. She was not very happy when she moved in with us and had to see guns lying around (No kids) and she was ready to call the bomb squad the first time she found a 9mm round banging inside the dryer. Little by little her complains were less and less vocal and they reached the silence point which I attributed to giving up and accepting the reality that this is my house (Yeah right, tell that to my wife) and my rules.
A couple of nights ago, I had promised the wife to take her car to a gas station and check the pressure in her tires. I came home at my usual midnight and found her keys and a reminder so, as the dutiful husband that I am, I grabbed the keys and headed back outside. Mom was awake and she called from her room:
"Don't forget to take the gun with you."

Zip Right Through Those B School Applications
Jennifer MerrittSo you want to go to business school. Your first assignment: Set aside about 10 hours to complete each mind-numbing, head-scratching 20-page application. That's maybe 50 hours of hard slogging for the typical MBA candidate, who applies to three to five schools. Make sure every application is neatly typed, and that your name, birthplace, and social security number fit just right.
Or at least that is how it used to be. Modern technology has found an answer for the application blues. Multiple application software is here, allowing you to do something no typewriter has ever done: enter those pes-ky vitals each school demands in one fell swoop. "Using software probably saved me 30 to 40 hours of work," says Christopher Gosk, who applied to six schools and now attends the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flager Business School. "It would have been a nightmare otherwise."
The two products, MCS Multi-App and Apply Software, are inexpensive and easy to use. After you mark the schools you are applying to, a screen prompts you to begin typing. You'll start by entering simple information, like your name and address, and move on to work experience and academic records. Once you've filled it all in, the program distributes the information to each application that needs it. Say you are applying to Stanford, Wharton, and Michigan. When you open the Stanford University file to complete the application, all the information you entered in the first phase transfers over. Half your application is complete before you start.
Apply has made its mark by producing solid application software for prospective MBAs since 1992. But Multi-App now has the upper hand, even though it started two years later. It can deal with information no matter in what order the applications ask for it. So if Stanford asks for employment history starting with your present job, and Northwestern University's J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management wants you to start from day one, the software automatically reformats the information in the proper order. If you're using Apply, you may have to repeat some stats when applications ask for them in a different order. Apply, whose software is available only on a Macintosh CD-ROM, promises a Windows 95 version by yearend.
In contrast, Multi-App comes on disk in Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 versions or can be downloaded from the Web. If you have access to the Internet, Multi-App also has direct links to participating B-school Web sites.
It takes about 45 minutes to complete the common questions before you can move to questions specific to a single school. Here, Multi-App offers you a dangerous little option: With a keystroke, you can copy an essay written for one school to any application. You'll then have to customize the essay manually for each school. At a time when most B-schools hear from far more qualified applicants than they can accept, it's a better idea to write essays that truly are school-specific. "The danger of these software packages is they make the application process look generic, when there are different rules forevery school," says Samuel Lundquist, former director of the Wharton School's admissions office. HELP WITH SNAGS. Currently, applications for 54 schools--including all the top 25 on the BUSINESS WEEK list except Southern Methodist University's Edwin L. Cox School of Business--are available on the software. You still can't send your completed application by modem directly to the school, but Multi-App is now working on a way to do just that.
With a laser printer, the completed forms look strikingly similar to the paper versions put out by the schools. Some B-schools, such as Duke and Harvard, estimate that 25% of 1995-96 applicants used the commercial programs. "It saves us the time and money creating our own software, and it makes applying to business school easier for students," says James Miller, assistant admissions director at Harvard business school. "What's not to like about it?"
If you're using either of the multiple application programs and you hit a snag, you can get help: Both companies have customer service lines to answer questions. But even if the software takes some figuring out, it's a heck of a lot better than dirtying your fingers with typewriter ribbons and Wite-Out.

Fiber Tear Out1/11
Just purchased my first CNC to get a handle on production back logs. With absolutely no experience using a CNC I'm hoping this site will help a great deal with my learning curve. I have a Holz-Her Dynestic 4x8 with an 11kw router controlled by Cabinet Vision. I've been using solid carbide 1/2" up/down spiral cutters with suggested spindle speeds and travel according to the manufacturer when cutting 3/4" thick particle board with double sided melamine. I was unaware of the fibers that pull out of the edges, even when the cutter is new (small but noticeable), and eventually get larger as the blade wears. This all while the melamine is still chip free. With this issue, I have to hand sand the edges prior to edgebanding if I use a PVC tape that is thinner than 0.8mm. From my limited research I found that to solve this issue I would have to purchase an edgebander that has a pre-miller. Question: Is purchasing a pre-miller my only option, or is there a better cutter available, or specific operations required when nesting? Thanks in advance. 1/11
You could change the way you program your parts by adding a final pass to the part. This has a tendency to not pull out the center of the core because your not trying to route in one pass. The time difference is nominal.
I have found that this varies from mfg to mfg. last job I ran I used panel lam ..... Not happy at all there was a lot of tear out .... Plumcreek I had very little tear out. So I would try different mfg products and see what works best for you 1/12
Hi Dan, I came up against the same issue when I started using the router. I think both of the suggestions above are accurate. I found that Panalam hardwood core tends to leave a rough edge. They have a softwood core that leaves a smoother edge. I have found I can get an acceptable edge on the hardwood core by using a double outline pass on all parts with the down side being the extra time and wear on cutters and machine. I don't think you will ever get as nice an edge as you get off a good panel saw with a sharp blade. Gerry 1/12
I leave the skin on parts 6" and smaller before cutting through and they too leave the centre core pulled out. The cores with more hardwood left bigger voids in the centre which for me indicates large particles being pull out or just bad quality sheets. The sheets I've tried with more softwood in them didn't leave voids but the rough core is now my only issue. Would any one know if the upgrade to a pre-mill on an edge bander be the solution to this problem? or is this just another process that will add to my dust collection bins? 1/12
Yes an edgebander with a premill setup will eliminate this issue. You would either add to the part what the premill takes away or not stress the 32nd of an inch. 1/12
Hi Dan, When you leave the skin on the small parts do you also offset it away from the edge of the finished part? I usually find this does the trick. I have also found that 3/8" cutters tend to be less aggressive on the core. Never used a pre-mill on an edgebander so can't comment on that. Thicker edge tape does help. Good luck! Richard 1/12
I am curious does a climb cut help out with this issue? http://taghkanicww.com
I'm leaning towards Eric's answer with the purchase of a new edge bander with the pre-mill. I'd rather use one solution to enable me to keep with a single pass to cut larger parts, pick and chose any sheet manufacture colors and tape thickness.
I've only worked with Holz-hers edge banders in my shop and the shop I learned this trade. I never had any major issues and I did all the service on them. I especially like the glue pucks that take less than 5 min to heat up.
Has anyone had experience with their 1054 Streamer? or any other brand that's similar is size with pre-mill? I'm limited with space and this model has all the options I would need.
I'm supposed to have an estimate by tomorrow for one.
I would be interested to know the pricing on the new bander also if that is allowed in a open forum?
We had the same problem but have found that conventional cutting with a 3/8 3 flute tool gives us a much better edge than the 2 flute tools and you get the bonus of running much faster. We have been running 18,000 RPM and 29-30 Meters/minute on 3/4 melamine.
We use a low helix 3 flute Vortex 1/2 inch bit and get good results.
We use Vortex bits also, could you give us a part number for the bit you are using?
In response to Gerry's question. The price came in at $46,800.00 Can. for a Streamer 1054 which has Pre-Milling, Auto Load Glue Cartrige, End Trim, Top/Bottom Trim, Scraper Unit and Buffing. Delivered and Installed.
They will give me 5k for my 1402HF off the price as a trade in.
We just completed a job using Stevens textured melamine that has a 1mm matching edge tape and it makes me think that using 1mm tape all the time would be an acceptable solution for me. If of course the tape you need is available in 1mm.
The pre-mill option got me thinking that if the edgebander milling was not perfect you could off size your parts or take them out of square? Not having used a bander with this option I don't know if it is a concern but it gets me thinking after using a router to get all the parts accurately sized I hesitate to introduce a process that would compromise that. I have seen one bander that by all accounts works well with the pre-mill option but the cost on it was closer to $500,000.00 Can. If the pre-mill works well in this price range it would allow you spend a lot less time worrying about edge quality coming off the router.
Thanks for getting back with the quote Dan.
I had the new pre-mill bander installed a few weeks ago. Tweaked it a bit after the techs were finished setting it up. Tape to board is near flawless.
I now cut all parts on the CNC to exact sizes (no reduction for tape thickness) and pre-mill the tape thickness on the edge-bander. This now removes all fibres that are protruding the edges and any skin left over by not going deep enough on the cuts. 0.5mm PVC tapes comes out smooth. The only issue left is if there's voids in the core, they show the indents. When exposed edges need to be perfect, I just add 0.5mm to my overall size of board and take off 1mm on the bander.
Very happy with the results.

I have a 1999 E320. My AC stopped work the other day. The clutch isn't engaging and the controller have defaulted to the EC Mode. I checked the fuse underhood and is OK. I checked freon and appears to be normal (although not sure since compressor is not turning).
Anyone have any advise as to the problem ?

I'll see where the story goes but I've got a few more hijinks of my own that should be entertaining.
