Tigers Finish Day One in Eighth at OVC Championships
Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's golf team shot a 9-over, 297 as a team and is in eighth after day one of the 2013 Ohio Valley Conference Championships. The Par-72, 6,858 yard GreyStone Golf Club in Dickson, Tenn., played slow due to the heavy rains in the middle Tennessee area on Wednesday with the temperatures for the first round reaching the mid-60's and winds between 9-12 mph under Sunny skies.
After the first round, TSU is 13 strokes behind team leader Austin Peay and just five strokes from being in the top four.
Cameron Scitern led the way with a 1-under, 71 and is currently tied for seventh, just two strokes behind co-leaders, Brendon Caballero of UT Martin and Patrick Newcomb of Murray State. Scitern hit 12 fairways, 14 greens and just 29 putts as he picked up nine pars and five birdies.
Scitern hit a pitching wedge for his third shot on the par-5, 2nd to 15 feet away from the pin, setting up his first birdie of the day. The Rockdale, Texas native picked up pars on the next five holes before closing out the front nine with back-to-back birdies.
On the par-4, 8th, Scitern hit a 9-iron on his second shot onto the green and dropped a 10 foot putt for birdie. Scitern followed on the par-5, 9th, with a sand wedge shot to within 11 inches of the cup for the second straight birdie.
Scitern sat in first with a 3-under at the turn, but bogeyed the first two holes to drop to 1-under. The team captain would get one stroke back on the par-5, 12th, as he hit a 58-degree wedge to five feet and sank the putt for birdie. Scitern moved back to even after 16, but responded on the par-5, 17th with a birdie by sinking a five-foot putt as he returned to 1-under.
James Stepp played steady throughout the day as he hit eight fairways, 13 greens and 33 putts and scored 13 pars and two birdies. On the par-5, 2nd, Stepp went into the right rough off with his tee shot. The sophomore used a 7-iron to reach the middle of the fairway, leaving 65-yards to the pin. His third shot landed within five feet allowing him to sink his first birdie of the day. After falling to 2-over, Stepp dropped a birdie on 17 and used an up-and-down on 18 to save par to close out his day with a 1-over, 73.
After the first round, Stepp is tied for 17th with seven other golfers. The Cheatham native sits four strokes off the leaders.
Andrew Warner entered the clubhouse with a 4-over, 76. Warner opened the round with a bogey, but bounced back on the 2nd. The junior used a gap wedge from 105-yards out on his third shot that landed two feet away from hole for a makeable birdie, bringing his score back to even. The Hendersonville product found himself at 2-over heading into the final two holes of the front-nine. Warner responded with back-to-back birdies on the par-4, 8th and the par-5, 9th, to make the turn at even par. On the day, Warner found 10 fairways, 13 greens and 34 putts for eight pars and three birdies.
Shane Sampair started out fast with birdies on one and three and a par on two. Sampair would pick up bogeys on six and seven and was even at the turn. The sophomore transfer found himself down two strokes as he came to 14. A birdie on the par-4 hole got him back to 1-over, but ran into trouble on 16 and 18 to finish the round with a 5-over, 77. Over the first 18-holes, Sampair hit eight fairways, eight greens, and made 29 putts as he recorded nine pars and three birdies.
Dallas Hill shot a non-scoring 8-over, 80, while hitting eight fairways and nine greens. Hill used 32 putts on his way to recording 11 pars on the first day. On the par-4, 13th, the sophomore found the hazard off the tee box and had to take a drop. Hill hit a 9-iron for his third shot to within seven feet of the, which he was able to sink to save par.
The Tigers will hit the course with the exact same times as in day one. Hill will tee-off at 8:50 am on Friday, followed by Sampair at 9:00 am, Warner at 9:10 am, Stepp at 9:20 am and Scitern at 9:30 am.

Long Knives carve Thanksgiving Turkey
By Staff Sgt. Jeff VanWey
4th BCT, 1st Cav. Div. Public Affairs
LAGHMAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan (Nov. 22, 2012) – The annual celebration of Thanksgiving has been an official U.S. holiday since 1863, but the tradition goes back to 1621 when the Pilgrims joined with Native Americans in a three-day feast to celebrate their first harvest in the New World.
Today, while the holiday has been expanded into parades, television specials, football games and countless individual family traditions, the one thing that remains consistent is the tradition of Thanksgiving dinner.
While many Soldiers in combat have had to go without turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, Soldiers deployed with 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, for a few hours, got a taste of that family tradition with their fellow brothers- and sisters-in-arms in eastern Afghanistan, Nov. 22, 2012.
"Long Knife" Soldiers were treated to turkey, ham, prime rib, mashed potatoes, glazed sweet potatoes, corn, stuffing, among many other traditional Thanksgiving dishes, to include apple pie and pumpkin pie for dessert.
"I'm used to big family Thanksgivings and this rivalled any meal I've ever had," said Capt. Michael Miller, the Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Company command and co-Mayor of Forward Operating Base Gamberi. "I think everyone was pretty impressed."
Miller, a Petersburg, Ill. native, stressed that all credit for the meal goes to the Fluor Corporation contractors and the local Afghans who work in the dining facility.
The Afghan employees have been working for weeks in preparation for the feast, hand-carving giant turkeys out of plastic foam, creating colorful paper leaves to plaster the walls of the DFAC with and gathering and hanging a cornucopia of other traditional decorations on the walls, he said.
All branches of military stress the importance and value of traditions. A common, yet important, military Thanksgiving tradition is for commanders and senior enlisted leaders to go to their unit's DFAC and serve their troops their holiday dinner.
While members of the Long Knife brigade are spread over 6 FOBs and 2 Army air fields, the distance between units did not stop Col. Bill Benson, the Long Knife commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Christopher Menton, the senior enlisted advisor to the commander, from visiting their troops at several of the FOBs and upholding that tradition.
They left the brigade headquarters in the morning and went on a run to three FOBs, beginning at FOB Naghlu High, the current home of the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 4th BCT, 1st Cav. Div.
There, they joined with Lt. Col. Robert Kuth, the 2-7 Cav. commander, and Command Sgt. Maj. Eliodoro Perez, the 2-7 Cav. command sergeant major, in serving both their own "Ghost" battalion Soldiers, but also the French soldiers also stationed there.
For some, like Pfc. Richard Ferrick, the only satellite communications operator with 2-7, this is their first Thanksgiving while deployed and are grateful that the commanders and command sergeants major took time out of their busy schedules to spend the holiday with the troopers.
"It's awesome. It really is," Ferrick said. "I'm very thankful that they made some time to come down here and spend Thanksgiving with us and serve us our food."
While scheduling conflicts didn't allow for the brigade command team to serve dinner at the other two FOBs visited, FOBs Kutschbach and Mehtar Lam, they did make a point to visit with as many Soldiers as they could and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving.
The brigade only arrived in Afghanistan at the beginning of November, but any holiday away from families can be difficult. However, the extra effort of giving the troopers a taste of home is well worth it, and not necessarily just for the Soldiers, but the families left back home as well.
"It's good for the Soldiers," Miller said. "But I think it's actually almost just as good for the families to know that their loved ones here with us are getting taken care of and getting a proper way to celebrate the holiday."

Medicine & Healthcare, Medicine in Nepal by Kathleen Joseph
When stepping into Kathmandu for the first time, I was completely unsure of what to expect. Certainly not the sudden flood of pedestrians, motorbikes and bicycles that continuously crowd the streets; nor the incessant honking of horns that are the Nepali alternative to a turn signal; nor the overwhelming combination of smells and colours that attack a newcomer's senses.
No, I certainly did not expect these things – and found them feeding a burning curiosity to see and experience more of this crowded, sprawling city. With every new experience and moment I spent in Nepal, this curiosity grew. When I stepped off that plane into a country exactly half way around the world from my home, I never expected to come away with the shocking, precious and surreal memories that only a few short weeks with Projects Abroad granted me.
I went to Nepal as a 2-Week Special volunteer, though I stayed for a total of three weeks. The 2-Week Special programme is designed for 16 – 19 year olds, such as myself, and emphasises a particular field, in this case, medicine. Because it is directed towards high school students, transportation to and from placement was provided, as were daily and weekend activities, such as short treks and tours of Kathmandu's architectural and anthropological gems.
There were two other students who also participated in the programme with me, and the three of us lived with a lovely host family in Patan. Nearly every day we had the opportunity to visit a different placement around the city. Such placements included hospitals - B&B, Alka and Kanti Children's Hospital, as well as clinics – MSPN, clinic for children with HIV/AIDS and the clinic for malnourished children. This assortment of placements was ideal for someone with no medical knowledge, because we were able to experience different settings, from crowded hospitals to private clinics, and their respective practices.
In the hospitals, much of our time was devoted to observing the doctors and nurses in outpatient care or following them on their rounds, though we did have the extraordinary opportunity to watch surgery at Alka Hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses we encountered made a great effort at translating their conversations with their patients and explaining how medicine was practiced in Nepal.
From the onset, simple differences from the West, such as hygiene practices, struck my companions and me very hard. The manner in which one prepared for surgery at Alka Hospital did not compare with the strict rules of the West, nor did the wards and beds of B&B Hospital that seemed too crowded for proper health care to be possible. But perhaps most shocking was Kanti Children's Hospital, where the smell of human excrement and chemicals penetrated the entire hospital and four to five children lay on a single bed in the Emergency Room.
Yet, despite these shocking and difficult sights, the most important things I brought away from this trip are not of the shock of a lack of proper hygiene or the pages and pages of case studies that were available to us. Rather it was the astonishment of experiencing a beautiful culture and the memories of the people I met there.
Months later I still remember the smiles of small, malnourished children and their screams of delight and laughter as they popped the bubbles we blew for them and filled colouring books, both luxuries they'd probably never had before. I remember the girls from the orphanage that teased me and tried to correct my pitiful Nepali. I remember the glint in the eye of a small child with cerebral palsy, as we praised and encouraged her to complete even the most menial task. I remember the little boy with HIV who was only too happy to plop down on my lap and say, "Photo didi?" as though he hadn't a care in the world.
Those memories are the things that stood out most clearly as I prepared to leave Nepal, that I still see clearly in my mind's eye, and that I will treasure for a lifetime.

Cisco IOS Voice Troubleshooting and Monitoring -- H.323-Related Standards
From DocWiki
H.323-Related Standards
Because several standards are involved with setting up a call through an H.323 device, it is important to understand the role each protocol plays to be able to effectively troubleshoot such a call. The following sections describe these standards:
Figure: H.323 Call Flow shows the basic call flow for an H.323 call.
Figure: H.323 Call Flow
H.225 Signaling
H.225 is used for call control functions. H.225 is very similar to Q.931. H.225 signaling is carried over a TCP connection. H.323 devices listen to port 1720 for incoming connections and show messages that might be used in an H.225 call setup, such as those shown in Table: H.225 Call Setup Messages. Each message can contain one or more information element (IE). Each IE carries a specific piece of information within an H.225 message. For a complete list of IEs and the coding for each, refer to the ITU-T Q.931 specification.
Table: H.225 Call Setup Messages
This message is sent by a calling H.323 device to indicate its desire to set up a connection to the called device.
Setup Acknowledge
This message typically indicates that the called device wants to do overlap sending and can accept more digits before proceeding with the call.
Call Proceeding
This message is sent by the called device to indicate that it has received all the information it needs to route the call to its destination.
This message can be sent by an H.323 gateway to indicate a call's progress. You typically see progress messages when internetworking with a non-ISDN network because audio cut-through must be treated differently in this case.
This message might be sent by the called phone to indicate that the called phone is being alerted of the incoming call. That is, the phone is ringing.
This message is sent by the called device to the calling device to indicate that the call has been accepted or answered.
User Information
This message can be sent to provide additional information. It can be used to provide information for call establishment in the case of overlap sending or miscellaneous call-related information. It can also be used to deliver proprietary features. Cisco IOS gateways use this message to get around the fact that H.323 gateways do not normally provide ringback when a call is transferred and also to generate tone on hold.
Release Complete
This message is sent by a device to indicate the call's release.
Status Inquiry
This message can be used to request call status. Normally the device receiving this message responds with a status message indicating the current call state for the specific call reference.
This message is used to respond to an unknown call signaling message or to a Status Inquiry message.
This message is used to send additional information for a call. For example, when using overlap sending, each digit is sent one at a time in an Information message.
This message is used to notify a device of a change that has occurred in the call.
H.245 Signaling
H.225 is responsible only for setting up the call and routing it to the proper destination. H.225 does not have any mechanism for exchanging capabilities or setting up and tearing down media streams. The called H.323 device is responsible for sending the IP address and port number that are used to establish the TCP connections for H.245 signaling. This information can be sent by the called device in either the Alerting or Connect message.
When the originating H.323 device receives the IP address and port number for H.245 negotiations, it initiates a second TCP connection to carry out the necessary capabilities exchange and logical channel negotiations. This TCP session is primarily used to do four things:
- Master/slave determination-This is used to resolve conflicts that might exist when two endpoints in a call request the same thing, but only one of the two can gain access to the resource at a time.
- Terminal capabilities exchange-This is one of the most important functions of the H.245 protocol. The two most important capabilities are the supported audio codecs and the basic audio calls.
- Logical channel signaling-This indicates a one-way audio stream.With H.323 version 2, it is possible to open and close logical channels in the middle of a call. Because H.245 messages are independent of the H.225 signaling, a call can still be connected in H.225 even if no logical channels are open. This is typical with such features as hold, transfer, and conference.
- DTMF relay-Because voice networks typically do not carry DTMF tones inband because of compression issues, these tones are carried on the signaling channel. Ensure that the type of DTMF relay configured on your gateway is compatible with your gatekeeper.

Anyways, she's an interesting moeblob because for one she isn't Haruhi/Konata's plaything. She isn't constantly being grabbed from behind or have her breasts referenced to at least 3 times an episode. To me she's just a blonde Miyuki that I actually like. Miyuki's flaw wasn't necessarily screen time but rather the lack of something unique and noticeable (you know, except big boobs and glasses). Mugi-chan established herself an as equal among the group of 3 in the first episode, not letting the other two take over.

That is to say, I noticed that trait at the very first glance of the first trailer. Although I'm not fancying that much, it isn't anything THAT disruptive or whatnot.
As for my opinion about Tsumugi, I think she can't be labelized as a moe blob. So far, despite being overly generous and all (probably won't have no problem in having "MILF" aspect few years later), she is arguably not clueless or "acting" cute (in a sharp contrast to yui who is the moeblob overload to me ).
She does have common sense and certainly react to few stuff (especially how Yui is fancying her sweets). To make things better, she is rather "normal" to me considering her goal in the club, but also her methods (baiting/calming Yui were not shown without afterthought ).
Pretty much like Mio, she is rather normal with moe traits, and that is a change (as Miyuki was really overexaggerated with lack of depth and certain "too kind" aspect).

Meh Klash beat me to it...
I found it interesting she seemed to have the greatest amount of concentration when it came to the part-time job...Wasn't really expecting that to be honest. I know she isn't nearly as scatter brained as Yui, but still kinda threw me off to see that she can focus on a certain thing to such a great degree.
I guess a contributing factor along with her "Oujo-ness" to having limited "normal" life experiences?

I'm liking how they are portraying Tsumugi as trying to "follow the lead" (Ritsu's lead so far) as to what is she supposed to do or how to react. I hope this is not limited to these first two episodes, since it's quite entertaining to watch.

Mio and Ritsu hit it on the head that the reason Mugi joined them is that they are rare animals.
Mugi must have a boring life as an Oujo. Also you have to wonder who those sweets brought to home are for. I can imagine some rich boy smuck or several trying woo her.
Her respite is the K-On club who now has new rare animal addition in Yui.
You'd notice that Mugi doesn't seem to have girl groupies before Ritsu and Mio.

I think you're saying what I wanted to say. She definitely has moeblob qualities...at least her position and appearance makes her seem like so. But she doesn't even act like one and is quite normal, and that's what I notice about her. Even though Yui is the "blob of moe," I can't imagine calling the main character a moeblob...or can I?

I just find it funny that after Mugi says things like "I've never had fast food before," no one asks her why. I guess it's all for the sake of comedy, keeping her background unknown. So far they've done a good job of turning Mugi's unworldliness into humor without going the easy route (Pouring her fries into Ritsu's, haggling at a shop her family owns).

Mugi has style in my opinion. Why? The eyebrows^^
At first they bothered me; female characters usually don't have thicker eyebrows because it's not feminine, but Tsumugi pulls it off and looks darn cute at it too<3
Her character is interesting as well. She's never eaten fast food, is rich and doesn't seem to have experience in normal things, yet never really says anything about it and just does whatever she thinks is right. It's entertaining to watch her do something in the background.

Opening and Dedication of NWSC Supercomputing Facility Scheduled Oct. 15
A celebration is scheduled Monday, Oct. 15.
That's when the long-anticipated NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center is unveiled during a ceremonial opening dedication in the North Range Business Park in Cheyenne. The invitation-only event begins at 10 a.m.
NWSC will open for one-time special public tours starting Tuesday, Oct. 16, noon-4 p.m.; and again, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17. Thereafter, self-guided tours of the visitor center will be offered 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Larger groups are asked to call ahead at (307) 996-4321 to make reservations.
In addition to a look inside the building that houses one of the nation's newest supercomputers, a visit to the NWSC provides an opportunity to learn more about the atmospheric and computational sciences through the visitor center's interactive components. The visitor center offers a view into the types of computational science research that will be carried out by scientists across the nation. Once inside, visitors will receive a front-row seat to the supercomputer known as "Yellowstone," which operates so fast that it computes at a speed equivalent to 7 billion people each simultaneously conducting 200,000 calculations a second.
"The opening of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center is a transformative moment for the University of Wyoming and the state," says Bill Gern, UW's vice president for research and economic development. "It opens a new era of scientific research and economic development that will put Wyoming at the forefront of innovation and discovery."
"Yellowstone and the research done on it will help society in terms of better weather forecasting, understanding severe storms, wildfire behavior and event actions of the earth beneath our feet such as earthquakes and the movement of water," says Tom Bogdan, president of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). "We are now poised at the beginning of a long line of new discoveries, powered by this incredible instrument made possible by so many dedicated people."
The facility has achieved the certification of LEED Gold status. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an internationally recognized rating system for green buildings, which was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council for evaluating environmentally sustainable construction. Both the building design and its location take advantage of Wyoming's unique weather to provide much of the center's cooling needs through incredibly effective, passive systems.
The Oct. 15 dedication provides an opportunity for those who made the center a reality to officially declare it open. Representatives from UW, officials from the National Center for Atmospheric Science (NCAR), UCAR, the National Science Foundation, state of Wyoming, the Wyoming Business Council, Cheyenne LEADS and Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power Co. will attend. Gov. Matt Mead will provide a dedication address. The governor will be joined by NSF Director Subra Suresh, NCAR Director Roger Wakimoto, Bogdan and Gern.
The NWSC will contain one of the world's most powerful supercomputers (1.5 petaflops, which is equal to 1.5 quadrillion mathematical operations per second) dedicated to improving scientific understanding of climate change, severe weather, air quality and other vital atmospheric science and geo-science topics. The center also will house a premier data storage (11 petabytes) and archival facility that holds historical climate records and other information.
The National Science Foundation has chosen seven University of Wyoming research projects -- ranging from hydrology of the Colorado River Basin to planet formation from star debris to fluid dynamics of wind turbines -- that will use the NWSC this fall. For more information, go here.

Truffle dislikers: Bourdain, Ripert blow through town
Last Sunday, October 30, touring celebrity chefs Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert made a stop at the Paramount Theater and then headed over to an after party/book signing at Ten Japanese restaurant on the Downtown Mall. According to Ten manager Zac King, the night went "swimmingly" for the chef, Pei Chang, though there was a truffle situation that required some quick thinking.
"We got word that neither of them likes truffles," says King, "so we had to quickly change some of the hors d'oeuvres to accommodate them."
King says Bourdain and Ripert sat down and signed books for about two hours at the VIP event, tickets for which went for $100 a pop. According to King, Bourdain drank Japanese beers while Ripert opted for scotch on the rocks.
"They both seemed to like Chef Pei Chang's food," says King, though he says the duo left as soon as they were finished signing books, which appears to have been a smart move.
"People were buying them tequila shots," King says.Read more on: anthony bourdainten restaurant

STERLING – When Helen Conway, 90, had bronchitis, COPD, and emphysema all at once in 2009, the Heritage Woods resident would ring the nursing staff by pushing the alert button, and they'd come running, she said.
So it might not come as a surprise to her that the supportive living center was one of two local facilities that made the list of the top 20 assisted living centers in the state as named by Assisted Living Today.
The online publication also named Liberty Court in Dixon in its top 20 list.
The award was based on nine criteria, including positive testimonials from residents or residents' family members, a range of living options from independent through skilled care, use of new technologies to benefit residents, unique services or amenities, and high regard for residents' safety.
Yost Management Company, based in Charleston, owns Heritage Woods, which has about 75 residents. Yost is also building Country Lane Apartments, low-to-moderate income housing, on Sterling's west end.
BMA Management Ltd., based in Bradley, manages Heritage Woods.
The Sterling facility has a meditation room and fitness center, and about 75 residents.
The staff at Heritage are always open to suggestions and requests from residents, said resident Nonie Slifer, 93, formerly of Rock Falls and Sterling.
"They listen to us, they sure do, probably more than our children do," she said.
Conway described the facility as "brotherly."
"I have the feeling that we're all brothers and sisters," she said.
Dawn Powell is administrator at Heritage Woods.
The facility has fostered a friendly atmosphere, she said.
"It's like living in a dorm, where everybody knows everybody," she said. "This is their home and this is a community."
Liberty Court, which has about 33 residents, is operated by Lifehouse Health Services, based in Culver City, Calif.
It provides pet therapy, occupational and speech therapy and works with various hospice services of residents' choices. There's one staff member for every eight residents.
Pat Ricia, 83, formerly of Franklin Grove, has lived at Liberty Court for 3 years. She has enjoyed living at Liberty because "it's a nice, clean place," she said.
"They're always so cheerful," she said of the staff. "And if they can put up with us old buggers, I think they're wonderful."
Diane Hawkins is administrator of Liberty Court.
"We have a very home-like environment," Hawkins said. "Because we're a small home, I feel you're able to get to know families and residents very well and vice versa.
Genesis Hey is director of community relations at Liberty Court.
Liberty Court is "meeting the needs of the times," Hey said.
Increasingly, families are keeping their loved ones home longer and waiting longer to move their loved ones into an assisted living facility, Hey said. As a result, some of the incoming residents need more care, she said.
Liberty provides respite care, in which people may stay there temporarily in cases when their full-time caregivers are leaving town or need a break.

TRIED AND TESTED | Madara Decocare Tinting Fluids
IT'S ALWAYS a bit surprising to me that so many beauty brands are only available in specific markets even in our global age. It's one of the advantages of being a trans-Atlantic beauty writer -- I know about so many products, brands and services before they hit new markets, giving me a fantastic edge in the cut-throat world of freelancing.
But it's also a disadvantage when I find myself in one country for a long stretch and happen to run out of something that I can't get there.
That was the case recently in the US with my Madara Decocare Moon Flower Tinting Fluid.
It's only available in 16 stores coast to coast, and I needed it that day.
Turns out that the one nearest to me -- 30 minutes by car on the highway -- just started carrying a tiny cross-section of the brand consisting of only the Tinting Fluids and Tinting Lipglosses.
I love the product so much I didn't bat an eyelash at an hour-long round trip drive (even with current petrol prices) to buy it. Um, so, my verdict is clearly pre-mature (as the review is below). I think both the brand and this product are swell.
Perhaps I have a future in franchising Madara stores? Surely, at the very least, as a blog spokesperson!
Latvian brand Madara bleeped to life on my beauty radar when my business partners and I were contacted about carrying the range on the website we were then setting up. And I've been hooked in the four years since.
Madara is the Latvian name for wild madders, which are abundant in local meadows.
The brand is certified organic (ECOCERT) and has several product lines: ecoface, decocare, ecobody, ecohair and ecobaby.
The Moon Flower Tinting Fluid (50ml) has a slightly lighter and more liquid texture than tinted moisturiser. It goes on slightly slick, like a light lotion, and gives very sheer flesh-toned tint/coverage and all-over highlighting that's great for summer usage or those looking to gently even out their complexions with a product that can double as a light moisturiser.
The active ingredients are: Baltic algae, chamomile, plantain, rose water and St.John's-wort, as well as cocoa, jojoba. Colour and shimmer are obtained from natural plant minerals and mica.
Full ingredient list:
Aqua, Alcohol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil*, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Distillate*, Glycerin*, Theobroma Cacao Seed (Cocoa) Butter*, Cetearyl Alcohol, Hypericum Perforatum (St. John's Wort) Extract*, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Camomile) Extract*, Algae Extract, Plantago Major (Plantain Leaf) Extract*, Cetearyl Glucoside, Capryloyl Glycine, Stearic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide***, Xantan Gum, Aroma**, Citral**, Eugenol**, Limonene**, Linalool** [+/- (may contain), Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499)]***
* ingredients issued from Organic Agriculture;
** natural essential oils;
*** inorganic substances and/or pure mineral pigments;
99,875% of the total ingredients are of a natural origin;
13,86% of the total ingredients are issued from Organic Agriculture;
Natural and Organic cosmetic certified by ECOCERT SAS – B.P. 47 F-32600 according to ECOCERT Standards.
Wonderful coverage and evening out of skin tone even though it's incredibly sheer; 99.9% natural; smells like a forest; does indeed minimize the appearance of fine lines due to its illuminating and highlighting properties.
The price is a bit steep for 50ml so don't go wild with pumps per application or you'll find you're spending like 3 quid each time you use it. One pump should be enough to cover the face and the neck.
Also probably not great for those with super oily skin as I bet it won't stay put.
It's what I've been using as my sole foundation since I ran out of my RMS un-Cover Up, and before then I used it almost daily anyway because it's awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Particularly great during the spring and summer when you want to use as few products as possible as it multi-tasks as a highlighter, illuminator, foundation and moisturiser.
Madara Decocare Tinting Fluids (50ml) available from $49.95 in the US and £23.00 in the UK

hi! luv the pattern I have it ready and waiting as I type , although I don't understand the sizing is it Burda sizing by any chance?
4 Replies
Sep 15, 2012, 01.19 AMby Danielle MacIndoe
Yes it is actually. I used the Burda size chart to make the additional sizes. I had a tracing paper one for myself I had been using for years. I'm like a 32" bust so that one was about a size 34 on the Burda chart so I just sized it up based on that.
I hope you like the pattern. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd love to see the finished product!
Oct 2, 2012, 05.00 PMby Kimberly Carter
thanks for the info now I know I was using a size too large this whole time lol :) Do you know if its possible to use this for a woven if cut on the bias? thanks again.-KC
Oct 2, 2012, 06.06 PMby Danielle MacIndoe
Sorry, I didn't mean to mark inappropriate, I thought it was a reply button!
I'm not sure about using a woven. It's fairly close fitting. It might work if you went a size up. I think you'd need the extra room just to get it on. A little invisible zipper on the side might help. I would also Stay stitch the areas where the lace go or use some kind of stabilizing element because it might shift around on the bias.
But, I haven't tried, so make a muslin first, or use an inexpensive fabric. I'd like to hear about how it works out.
Oct 2, 2012, 06.43 PMby Kimberly Carter
actually I just attempted to find the bias and all that and I think I'll hold off till I gain some more sewing experience
lol but I am going to attempt add some ease and then add some button closures down the front, I'll try to post pictures when I'm finished
Thank for all the suggestions!

This is the former farm house of my great grandmother, HENRIETTA HOHNKE, and her second husband, CHARLES MICHAEL WAGNER. Henrietta was widowed by her first husband in October, 1885, according to the marriage registration of Henrietta to her second husband. Marriage applications usually give the death date of a former spouse, though the name of the deceased spouse is not given. So, the name of Henrietta' first husband, who would be my great grandfather, is not documented, but family tradition suggests his name was KARL STREICH. His place of burial is also unknown.
In 1900, the U.S. census enumerated Charles and Henrietta, 3 children, 2 step children, and 2 grandchildren in the farm house. One of Charles' great grandchildren, Eleanore Grove, was the last resident on the farm. She died in Fall, 2005, and shortly afterwards, the old farmhouse was put on the market. I was so glad that I had an opportunity to visit Eleanor a few times in the last decade. She gave me stories of the family as well as old pictures- including several of my grandmother, Mrs. Emily Strike, nee. Russell, which I had never seen before. Thus, the farmhouse which has been in the family for at least 120 years, is now gone forever.
After Mrs. Grove died, the contents of the estate were auctioned. I was not aware of the auction since I live far away in NC. Indeed, Eleanor and her cousin, Alice Wagner, used to keep me abreast of the news and events in Houtzdale. Now my informants are gone; deceased.
When this picture of farm was taken, the property was under a sheriff's sale to pay off debts. Asking price for the house on one acre is about $60,000. I was told by a neighbor, Eleanor's brother, that some of the old clothes, such as military uniforms, and perhaps old pictures were destroyed.
A family story: My uncle Russell Stryke, born Strike, told me he stopped at the farm in 1929. Russell brought along his new wife, Ruth, and they were on their way to a honeymoon in Niagra Falls. Russell said his wife walked out on the front porch and became mesmerized by the baying of mules in the fields below the house. These mules were probably retired from their work of hauling coal cars along the mine headers underground. Ruth, a city girl from Alexandria, VA, had never seen, nor heard, mules before in her life.

That's according to Ken Rosenthal, whose MLB sources told him the injury would keep the right-hander out for six to eight weeks. Then again, it might be much longer. Consider: Pavano is 37, he hasn't pitched since June 1 because of shoulder trouble, and he's still a free agent.
The injury occurred when slipped and fell while shoveling snow on his driveway in Vermont, one source said.
This is pretty much the most Carl Pavano way to get injured. Rosenthal says the Rockies and Mets had been interested in signing Pavano. Anyone else expecting the Mets to offer a multi-year deal any day now?

New Book Announcement
Eliezer Brodt
סדר עולם: מהדורה מדעית, פירוש ומבוא מאת חיים מיליקובסקי, מכון יצחק בן צבי, שני חלקים, 326+711 עמודים.
I am very happy to announce the publication of an important work which numerous people (myself included) have been eagerly waiting for quite some time, Professor Chaim Milikowsky of the Bar Ilan Talmud department's critical edition of the Seder Olam. Professor Milikowsky began working on the Seder Olam over thirty years ago and completed his PhD dissertation 'Seder Olam : A Rabbinic Chronography' in Yale University 1981 (550 pp.) with Professor Shnayer Zalman Leiman serving as his thesis advisor. This version included an English Translation of the Seder Olam. Since then Professor Milikowsky has authored numerous articles, many of which, amongst many other topics, are related to the Seder Olam.
This edition was just printed by the Yad Ben Zvi Press and is comprised of two large volumes. Volume one contains a two hundred and fourteen page general introduction about the Seder Olam, along with the one hundred and seven page critical, synopsis edition of the Seder Olam, based on numerous manuscripts and Genizah fragments. Volume two contains a seven hundred and eleven page(!) commentary, and is thoroughly indexed. This work is incredible on all fronts; in depth and breadth, touching upon anything related to the Seder Olam. It appears that literally every letter of this Tannaitic work has been dealt with. In addition to the scholarly acumen invested in the introduction and commentary, this work serves as an excellent model for preparing critical editions of works of Chazal.
For a Table of Contents or more information about purchasing this work, feel free to contact me at Eliezerbrodtatgmail.com. Copies of this work will be arriving at Biegeleisen shortly.

Basic Excess Weight Training For Muscle Mass using Clenbuterol
Clenbuterol - What is it?
Clenbuterol (simply referred to ai 'Clen' quite often) is a Beta 2 Sympathomitetic and central nervous iyitem (CNS) stimulant. Clenbuterol is not a steroid. Clenbuterol is a specific agonist, stimulating the adrenergic beta 2 receptors. It ii used in many countries in a medical capacity ai a bronchodilator in the treatment of asthma, though not in the UK and USA, mainly due to its long half life. Clen is a very popular research chemical drug.
Clenbuterol is dosed in microgrami (mcg/ml), most commonly in tablet form, though there are other forms of administration such ai liquids, naial sprays and iniectables. Even though dosagei are in micrograms, many manufactureri will list the active ingredient ai milligrams (mg), so a tablet of 20mcg will be labelled ai 0.02mg.
Athletes and bodybuilders use the drug due to its thermogenic and anti-catabolic effecti. http://www.steroids-on-line.eu/Buy-Clenbuterol.html This is down to clen's ability to slightly increaie the body's core temperature, thereby raising calorie (energy) expenditure. It is thought that a 1°F increase yields around a 5% increase in maintenance calories burned. Studies on livestock suggest that clenbuterol alio has anabolic properties. However, this seems not to be the case in humans, thought to be due to the fact that humans lack the abundance of beta 3 receptori which increaie iniulin production and sensitivity.
Side effects of Clenbuterol
Clenbuterol side effecti are doie dependant, though most users will find that most tend to subside with persistent use. Caution is advised when employing the use of Clenbuterol in conjunction with other adrenoceptor agonists, side effects are likely to be cumulative. It ii for this reason that it ii generally not recommended to use ephedrine/ephedra (or ma huang) or the ECA stack (ephedrine-caffeine-aipirin) whilst using clen.
Muicular cramping from Clenbuterol
Muscle cramping while using Clenbuterol is a fairly common side effect. This is most probably due to depletion of the amino acid taurine in the liver together with deficits in the electrolytes iodium and potasiium. This is also due to inadequate hydration. Taurine helps stabilise cell membranes and prevent nerves from becoming over-excited. Studies show that giving taurine supplements relieves painful muicle cramps. Japanese researchers found that the longer rats exercised, the more taurine they lost from their muscles (Matsuzaki et al, 2002).
Symptoms of cramping may be alleviated by:
Eating fruit particularly bananas
Eniuring adequate hydration
Taurine supplementation - 3-5g daily
Potassium iupplementation - 200-400mg daily taken before bed on an empty stomach
Clenbuterol is frequently used to treat asthma. Clenbuterol is also used to treat hypertension, cardiovascular shock, arrhythmias, migraine headaches, and anaphylactic shock. Clenbuterol is also frequently used as a performance enhancing drug. Clenbuterol is known for its ability to promote rapid weight loss. Clenbuterol can help you lose weight but keep your muscle.

Metallica Close Out Day Two of San Francisco's Outside Lands Festival in Legendary Fashion
In what is being described as "vintage Metallica" in reviews, the metal giants returned to San Francisco, Calif. on Saturday night (Aug. 11) to close out night two of the musically and culturally diverse Outside Lands Festival at the picturesque Golden Gate Park.
Even before the festival got underway, the members of Metallica were raving about the gig. Drummer Lars Ulrich told Entertainment Weekly's MusicMix, "The whole vibe there is so f—ing next level that you know, all we've got to do is just show up and make sure we're firing on all 24 cylinders." And Ulrich just may have been holding back a little because according to the review, "last night Metallica were firing on all 25."
Kicking off with 'Hit the Lights' and ending with 'Seek and Destroy,' Metallica played an 18-song set that clocked in at over two hours that included everything a proper rock show should from pyro to lasers.
OCWeekly counted down 'The Five Best Parts of the Band's Fiery San Francisco Show' that included nods to the set list and the crowd, and the band's enthusiasm to be playing in their great city. Hetfield exclaimed things like, "We are extremely grateful to be playing in the backyard of the greatest city on Earth!" and "Metallica loves you, 'Frisco!" displaying their appreciation for the hometown crowd.
When all was said and done, it seems that the unanimous vote was that Metallica owned San Francisco, at least for the two hours that they occupied the main stage. The San Mateo Daily Journal summed the evening up perfectly, saying, "Metallica's performance was much more than just two hours of epic rock n' roll – the band opened a dark abyss and sucked San Francisco into it. What Metallica did Saturday night has to go down as one of the most memorable acts in Outside Lands history."
Next up for Metallica is a sold out run of shows in Canada.

I'll also give it a quick once over with dry glass bead to shine steel brackets up.

Looking good man. Only 5000 more things to do. I'll check in the garage but I might have another set of components you can have for the stereo. If not you can get a cheap set of kickers or polks for sub 100 bucks to replace the 6 1/2"s
By your hull id it looks like you have a 2002 and not a 2003. The last two numbers are the model year.
Great project you have on your hands. I have a 2003 209 with the MCX so if you have any questions just ask and I will try to help
For the carpet I would rent a carpet cleaner and use some oxy clean on the stains. I think it can be saved and you will save some $$$ by not needing to replace it!
You also have a heater. How bad is the heater coil? It should be located under the front seat in front of the dashboard.
2003 Prostar 209 MCX
Yep it's an 02, not sure how came up with 03. I pulled the heater already, the hoses were cut, so I suppose it's junk, I haven't tried to tear it apart yet, I figure when I'm ready I'll see if i can flow water through it, give it a little pressure test and see where I'm at. Darn things are too simple for what they charge for them, kind of think like the ballast pumps you just can't replace or repair the broken parts inexpensively. I really like having a heater in the boat, but all funds go into gettin the boat running and on the water so I can use it this summer accessories like stereo, ballast and heat will have to wait.
Thanks for the offer 02ProstarSammyD, I might take you up on it, but will probably just buy new. I should check to see if the head unit is any good...Most likely not, considering that pretty much all the accessories I have found are worn out and broken.
I keep telling myself not to curse the previous owner about how he treated this boat, because I wouldn't have this project and be into a the boat I was going to work up to. I am cursing the dealer for not selling them a closed cooling system on a known saltwater boat and selling them a terrible trailer.
I also think it's a testament to MC build quality that the hull is as good of shape as it's in considering the abuse and neglect.
When someone asks that question why not put a non-marine longblock or shortblock, my answer would be because all the fasteners and brackets involved are stainless or cad plated, not to mention the other corrosion proofing that we don't know. I thought for sure I'd be buying a broken,stripped bolt extracting set from the snap-on guy by now. Only have had some sticky stainless screws from the interior parts.
I require updates here!
I was able to spend some quality time with my boat.
Used a sawzall to cut the drivers seat from the pedestal.
Then grabbed a hammer and some more penetrant to see if these tracks will come of.
Nope....Need a bigger hammer, or just open the latch.
Sorry no after shot but they came out and thankfully the screws came loose.
Just gave it a good soap and water scrubbing to see what I'm dealing with... The rust stains in this upholstery are gonna drive me bonkers. Looking like the seats are going to be able to get me through a season or two before I want to reupholster.
Got up too early Saturday to get ready for a long day at work... and do something about this mess.
Sorry no action shots.... too busy trying to get it out with a sketchy cherry picker and create any new problems.
Made a stop on the way home.
Looking better, hoping to get back into it if it warms up and stops raining to scrub the bilge and carpets hard.
Again those rust stains, remember if you have beige carpet and set something steel and rusting on them....your gonna be cussing and spitting and well, you get the idea.
You can rent a steam cleaner and do it but not sure its worth it. I did it on mine for mcocd purposes. Hit the bad spots with la awesome, clothes detergent for the rest. scrub the meh areas and powerwash the rest. Bilge you can fill up with cleaner and the plug on the drive over haha.
Try some oxy clean on the carpet. As for the the rust stains, if the seats are white (hard to tell with the pic) try a little bleach on just the rust spots! Dab a little bleach on a towel or q-tip and rub it on JUST THE RUST SPOTS! DO NOT WIPE THE ENTIRE SEAT WITH BLEACH. It should remove the rust spots or make them less noticeable for the season or two before you want to reupholster them.

Thanks for the bleach tip, I'll be giving it a shot tomorrow, hopefully I'll get a warm day this weekend to try and do some super scrubbing on the carpet.
No real updates I have the bilge area squeaky clean and have a pretty much all the the parts I've removed cleaned up and ready for paint and plate. I'll post pics of the finished parts soon.
Just around 6 weeks to my goal of being seaworthy and I'm starting to stress, My engine options are slim and expensive. I'm leaning towards re-powering with a brand new PCM engine because I'm told it will work with the analog gauge system and will run w/o a catalytic converter. but that is going to be nearly 10K installed and dialed in.
I have a line on a used 2005 MCX, but I have to convert from analog to digital throttle and gauges add another 2k to a 3500 dollar engine with an unknown history and I'm thinking the reliability of the PCM will be worth the extra money.
If I could find an LTR intake manifold I'd consider a longblock, and piece back the old engine, but that reliability issue of the fuel injection and the prospect of a bunch of NLA parts rears it's ugly stinking head again.
Last but not least I have a 4bolt main 350 block and a set of heads It's tempting to build my self a carburated motor for under 1000.00, but would still have to get the instrument in the dash to function, and I really want to keep the resale value of this boat in the event I want to try something different down the road.

British police looking into throat-grab photos of chef Nigella Lawson
LONDON – British police say they are investigating after a newspaper published photos of Nigella Lawson's husband Charles Saatchi with his hands around the celebrity chef's throat.
The Sunday People newspaper ran pictures of what it said was the couple's violent argument at a London restaurant on June 9.
Saatchi, Britain's best-known art collector, told London Evening Standard newspaper on Monday that the pictures misrepresented a "playful tiff."
Saatchi, a columnist for the London Evening Standard, said "the pictures are horrific but give a far more drastic and violent impression of what took place."
Lawson's spokesman, Mark Hutchinson, declined to comment.
London police say it has received no criminal complaint, and "inquiries are in hand to establish the facts" in order to assess whether a formal investigation is necessary.

|GDP growth (%)
|Inflation (yearly average, %)
|Budget balance (% GDP)
|Current account balance (% GDP)
|Public debt (% GDP)
(f): forecast
- Significant non-price competitiveness
- Development of high added value sectors (new technologies, finance, chemicals, pharmaceuticals)
- Major regional and international trading hub and for the financial sector
- Large FDI inflows thanks to the advantageous tax regime, political stability and an excellent business climate
- Leading exporter of capital in Asia through the Temasek and Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) sovereign funds
- Economy dependent on exports
- Shortages of skilled labour
- Ageing population
- Vulnerability to slowdown in the Chinese economy
Stable Singaporean economy
Economic growth in Singapore in 2018 should hold steady despite a slowing in exports to China. It will be sustained by world economic demand, in particular in the new technologies sector, with the upturn in exports of semi-conductors that started in 2017, in financial services and retail sales. The slight rise in oil prices will benefit exports as Singapore is the world's third largest refining centre. The slow rise in energy prices, a slight upturn in household consumption and the government's expansionary budget policy (increased redistributive spending) will give a boost to inflation. Household confidence will however be kept buoyant thanks to the stability of the Singapore dollar (pegged to a mainly US dollar weighted basket of currencies) and a falling unemployment rate. In addition public investments will make a positive contribution to growth in this context, in particular through infrastructure projects such as the high-speed rail link between the City-State and Kuala Lumpur, as well as "future economy" programmes which, in 2017, involved $8 billion (approximately 2.5% of GDP), to improve productivity and stimulate innovation in the 23 industries which are already growth hubs. The aim is to achieve growth of 2% to 3% a year for the next 10 years by improving the competitiveness of companies and the workforce. In addition, the advantageous tax regime will continue to attract significant foreign direct investments, equal to 19% of GDP in 2018.
Confirmed resilience of financial situation
The budget situation for Singapore will remain very sound. In 2018, thanks to increased receipts by the sovereign funds, the country will continue to record a budget surplus whilst maintaining its expansionary budget policy. In addition, whilst there is a high level of public debt, this is more than made up for by the size of the financial assets held by the sovereign funds. The bond issues are not used to finance the public debt but to develop a local State bond market and to support the Central Provident Fund, the leading Singaporean pension fund.
In 2018, the current account balance will run a large surplus. Whilst the surplus in the balance of trade will increase, in particular thanks to the slight uplift in energy prices, this trend will be counterbalanced by a deterioration in the balance of services and income. In addition the opening of the City-State, and the matching role as a regional and international trading hub, explains why the downwards trends in exports are mirrored by fluctuations in imports, and thus the constancy of the current account balance. In this context, the level of foreign currency reserves will remain high (at around 7 months of imports in 2018).
Whilst the banking sector is exposed to property market risks, its granting of mortgages has been cautious and remains in line with the regulatory requirements: the rapid expansion of credit, combined with very high property prices, is not expected to present a risk for 2018. Singaporean banks are also exposed to risks associated with the high level, although deemed sustainable, of household indebtedness (the equivalent of 75% of GDP in 2017), the slowdown in the Chinese economy through trade finance operations, and the pressures associated with low oil and gas prices. However, the levels of capitalisation and liquidities, the stabilising of bad debt levels, as well as strong performances in the resistance tests carried out by the Singaporean financial authorities would indicate that the banking sector will be resilient in 2018.
Stability on political stage
The Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, who comes from the People's Action Party (PAP), which has held power since independence in 1965, was elected in mid-2017 for a term of office ending in 2021. Politics in Singapore are symbolised by stability and continuity with the PAP successfully maintaining its domination of national political life, credited with careful supervision of the active economic policies and the tranquil nature of the social milieu. Governance in the country is also excellent, thanks to its effective legal system which facilitates debt collection, helping to underpin the business climate, near the top of world rankings. In 2018, Singapore will hold the Presidency of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and intends, in this context, to work to improve regional security, reinforce economic integration to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the region and to promote collaboration in terms of innovation, and this in particular in the new technologies sector. Finally, Singapore diplomatic efforts have been working towards improving relations with Malaysia.
Last update: January 2018
Cheques, cash and bank transfers are all frequently-used means of payment within Singapore. Bank transfers, fast and secure, are widely used for international transactions. Standby Letters of Credits and Irrevocable Letters of Credit are often used in export transactions.
Debt collection
Amicable phase
The amicable phase begins with the seller contacting buyers in writing, by telephone and, where permissible, by visiting the buyer's business premises. If there is no response from the buyer, a site visit and online searches are conducted to ascertain the operating and legal status of the buyer. If the buyer does not make attempts to settle the matter amicably, legal proceedings can be used to recover payments for goods sold and delivered in Singapore. It is, however, prudent to ensure that the buyer has sufficient assets to satisfy the debt before proceedings are initiated.
Legal proceedings
Singapore is a common law jurisdiction. Its laws are principally governed by Supreme Court of Judicature Acts, State Court Acts, other statutes which have procedural application (or contain procedural provisions), the Rules of Court, practice directions, case law and the court's inherent powers.
Singapore's courts comprise State (Subordinate) Courts and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is composed of the High Court and the Court of Appeal (the final appellate court). The High Court is a court of first instance, generally used for claims beyond the jurisdiction of the State Courts (although the High Court is a court of unlimited jurisdiction and may hear any claim.
Ordinary proceedings
The amount of the debt claim decides which court judges the case.
Unpaid debts normally have a six-year limitation period. A writ action is initiated by the creditor and a summons served on the debtor within six months from the issue of the writ. The defendant has eight days from service of the writ (or 21 days, if the writ was served out of jurisdiction) to enter an appearance, by filing a Memorandum of Appearance with the court. This indicates his intention to defend the suit.
Before a writ can be issued, it must be endorsed with a statement of claim. If there is no statement of claim accompanying the writ, there can be a general endorsement, which consists of a concise statement on the nature of the claim made and the remedial solution desired. If the writ only has a general endorsement, an accompanying statement of claim must be served within fourteen days of the defendant's entering of an appearance.
Defendants who have entered an appearance are required to file and serve their defence on the plaintiff within fourteen days of entering an appearance, or after service of the statement of claim (whichever is the later). A defendant may make a counterclaim in his defence. The plaintiff must serve the defendant with his reply and defence to any counterclaim, within fourteen days of the defence and counterclaim being served on him.
Default Judgment
If a defendant fails to enter an appearance or fails to file a defence within the time specified in the writ, the plaintiff may enter default judgment against him. This can be a final judgment or an interlocutory judgment, depending on the nature of the claim.
Summary Judgment
If the defendant has entered an appearance and filed a defence, but it is clear that the defendant has no real defence to the claim, the plaintiff can apply to court for summary judgment. To avoid summary judgment being entered, the defendant must show that the dispute concerns a triable issue, or that there is some other reason for trial. An application for summary judgment must be filed within 28 days of pleadings being concluded (unless the court orders otherwise).
Enforcement of a legal decision
Writs of Execution
A judgment can be enforced by a variety of writs of execution. These include a Writ of Seizure and Sale of movable and immovable property, a Writ of Delivery and a Writ of Distress. These writs authorise court officials to take appropriate measures to give effect to the judgment.
Garnishee Proceedings
This can be an appropriate solution when the debtor is owed a debt by a third party (the garnishee). When the creditor garnishes the debt, the garnishee must then make payments due to him, rather than to the debtor. To collect these debts, the creditor must first apply for a garnishee order nisi. This can be filed without the involvement of other parties and leads to "show cause" proceedings. If the garnishee confirms that there are monies due and owing to the judgment debtor at this stage, the Registrar may proceed to make the garnishee nisi absolute.
Registration of Judgment
If the creditor is not able to enforce his judgment in Singapore, he may be able to enforce it in a country where the debtor holds assets. This can be done by commencing fresh proceedings, or by registering the Singapore judgment in the foreign country (on the basis of reciprocity of enforcement between the two countries).
Insolvency proceedings
Schemes of Arrangement
Schemes of arrangement begin with an application to court, for an order summoning one or more meetings of the creditors, members of the company, or shareholders of the company. If the court agrees to the order, a proposal must then be tabled before the relevant meetings and approved by the requisite majority (unless the court orders otherwise) of the creditors, class of creditors, members or class of members, shareholders, or class of shareholders.
The majority required is three-quarters. To allow the relevant parties to exercise their votes in an informed manner, every notice summoning the meeting must contain a statement explaining the effect of the compromise or arrangement. In particular, it must state any material interests of the directors and the effect on them of the compromise or arrangement, should it be different from the effect on other parties involved. If this procedure is not followed and the creditors and members do not have sufficient information on which to make an informed decision, the court may, at any stage, refuse to approve the scheme, even if it has been approved by the requisite majority.
Schemes are only binding once they have been approved by the court. These approvals may be subject to any alterations or conditions that the court deems appropriate. Court approval ensures the integrity of voting outcomes at scheme of arrangement meetings, as well as the fairness of the proposed scheme.
Judicial Management
When a company is in financial difficulty but has reasonable prospects of being rehabilitated, or if preserving all or part of its business as a going concern (or even that the interests of creditors would be better served than by resorting to a winding up), the company or its creditors can apply to court for an order that the company be placed under the judicial management of a judicial manager.
Insolvency Proceedings
If an insolvent company is unable to overcome its difficulties, it can be dissolved. This enables the liquidation of its assets, so that creditors can be repaid, at least in part. This process is known as winding up or liquidation. A healthy company can also be subject to winding up if its members no longer wish the business to continue. When a company is wound up, its assets or proceeds are first used to pay off any creditors. Following this, any balance remaining is distributed pro rata amongst shareholders.
