In Dangerously Divine (Broken Riders #2) by Deborah Blake, After centuries of being a Rider alongside his brothers Mikhail and Alexei, Gregori Sun is now a broken warrior who no longer has the inner peace that assisting the Baba Yagas once brought him. His plan is to sequester himself in a monastery in Minneapolis to find his center and connect with the energy of the universe again. But no amount of meditating has helped Gregori's plight and instead, he finds his new supernatural talents are draining him of energy and life. His mother is the only person who might be able to help him but as he's searching for her whereabouts, he meets librarian Ciera Evans and is instantly intrigued. Little does Gregori know that she hides a dangerous secret. One that could put them both in danger. Good thing he's had centuries to hone his skills as a protector because he'll do anything to keep Ciera safe.
'He kissed her as if the touch of his lips on hers could say all the words he was not yet ready to say out loud, as if it could tell her how cherished she was, how special, how loved.'
Hiding her identity has become a force of habit for Ciera. And she's never given it a second thought until the day Gregori steps up to her desk at the library. Assisting him in his research project is interesting enough but once she realizes the handsome wannabe monk has hidden depths, she becomes torn. Ciera has dedicated her adult life to overcoming the terrors of her past and spends her nights cleaning up the streets. If she can help save a street kid's life, so much the better. But as she figures out how much Gregori is battling, both physically and also with an enemy after him, she knows she's going to get drawn into the fray. Ciera's entire life has been one of struggle and fighting in some way or another. At least this time she has something worth fighting for: the love that Gregori gives so unconditionally. She's not sure she's worthy of it, but she's damn sure going to do her best to shield it from harm.
'There was a part of her soul that was completely focused on Gregori Sun. A part of her soul that wanted to see him again more than anything else. A part that, against all odds, believed that any minute now, he was going to walk through that door.'
Dangerously Divine had everything I love about Deborah Blake's work. It featured a loyal hero and a strong heroine who had incredible chemistry together, and of course it was full of magic and supernatural elements that added depth to the story.
'Avoid all violence, Gregori heard his teacher from the monastery say in his head. And then he ran toward trouble, just as he always had.'
I had a lot of fun with Gregori and Ciera's romance, but then again, I always have fun with Deborah Blake's stories. Now the books in this series can be read as standalones, but if you've read book one or even the Baba Yaga series then you're probably as curious about the former Riders as I have been. And Gregori certainly was the noble, honorable man I thought he was. I love that his struggles (as well as Ciera's) were cast in a realistic light, not shying away from his flaws or mistakes. Following Gregori's journey from a broken, weary former Rider to finding his inner peace, strength, and purpose again was utterly heartening. It made for a very emotional story, that's for sure, but it also had a nice bit of humor tucked in here and there to lighten it a bit.
Ciera was one cool heroine. She was a librarian by day–she truly did love books!–and was a badass vigilante by night, trying to help street kids find a better life, as well as keep drug dealers and criminals off the streets. Her backstory was rather difficult to read at times but I loved how Ciera rose above everything and made something wonderful of herself. Talk about inner strength! But what I liked most about her was that even though she wasn't necessarily looking for love, she realized that deep down she craved affection, trust and love, then wanted to do anything possible to cherish what she found. And monk-in-training Gregori turned out to be just the guy for the job. I did have to chuckle that Ciera was afraid telling him she was a vigilante would be too shocking for him, all while Gregori was worried if she found out he was a former Rider and all that had entailed that she'd run for the hills. I just got such a kick out of how they learned the truth about each other little by little and how it played out. Gotta love that whole process of discovery.
With a visit from a Baba Yaga and her Chudo-Yudo and a trip to the Otherworld–along with lots of other magical dealings–Dangerously Divine was one sweet and lovely, yet also exciting, sequel. The next book promises to be every bit as interesting when we see what Alexei Knight, the bad boy & former Rider with a golden heart, has been up to.
Book Info:
Publication: November 28th 2017 | Berkley | Broken Riders #2
The author of the "wonderful" (Tamora Pierce) Baba Yaga novels and Dangerously Charming is back with a magically mesmerizing new tale about the dashing and daring Broken Riders…
The Riders: Three immortal brothers who kept the Baba Yagas safe, now stripped of their summons to protect. But fate is not finished with them—and their new callings are even more powerful…
Though his physical wounds have healed, Gregori Sun, the eldest of the Riders, remains in spiritual turmoil. His search for his mother, the one person able to heal his soul and save his life, is failing—until he crosses paths with a beautiful and fascinating librarian who might be the key to his salvation…
Ciera Evans's bookish ways are just a guise. The product of a difficult past, she has dedicated her life to saving lost teens—by any means necessary. She works alone, but when a dark, brooding stranger proposes they team up to solve both their problems, she is tempted—in more ways than one…
After Ciera and Sun's plans are derailed by dangerous enemies, they find themselves entangled in an ungodly affair—one that will force them to either find new strength together or be forever haunted by their pasts alone.

El Txupinazo
La Fiesta de Pantalones
El Pobre de Mí : Poor Me
El Encierro : The Running of the Bulls
Join us for El Txupinazo, a fundraiser benefiting Beth's Friends Forever and official kickoff party for New Orleans Running of the Bulls. This year's event will be at The Sugar Mill (1021 Convention Center Blvd).
Tasty bites from Commander's Palace, Sobou, Bacchanal, Atchafalaya and Tavolino Pizza & Lounge! Refreshing cocktails by LuLa Distillery, Sangria, Marques de Caceres wines, and cold beer from Port Orleans! Live Music and Flamenco Dancing by Ven Pa'Ca!
Beth's Friends Forever is a nonprofit helping women in the New Orleans area battling cancer.
There will be a great silent auction with lovely items from local businesses. The grand prize LIVE auction will cap the night off. The winner will become a LIFETIME VIP for all things San Fermin in Nueva Orleans!!!
Friday's VIP Packet and Entry Wristband Pickup will be at the Sugar Mill from 5–9PM
The ticket price includes food, beverages, tax and tip per attendee. More detailed information is available on the ticketing page.
First a brief quote from the American cinema classic Anchorman:
- Brick Tamland: Excuse me, Veronica?
- Veronica Corningstone: Yes? What is it, Brick?
- Brick Tamland: I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party."
Despite what the title may imply, there is no dress code regarding pants. But, we do encourage you to attend Pamplonese style: white shirt, white pants/shorts/skirt/dress, with red about the neck and waist. Consider that a starting point and get creative with your gear.
Our friends over at The Rusty Nail once again host this event, which starts immediately after the show ends at The Sugar Mill. So head over for drink specials and a continuation of the morning's fiesta.
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.– Ernest Hemingway
If you make it through Saturday's Running of the Bulls, you'll likely know what this saying means. You may be broken from RollerBulls, heat and sangria, but a little food, absinthe and burlesque will help mend those broken places.
The singing of the Pobre de Mí in Pamplona marks the end of Sanfermines. This is done at midnight on 7/14. Ours is considerably different, but so is the rest of our Fiesta!
Join Nola Bulls and Roxie Le Rouge's Big Deal Burlesque as we celebrate one final day of Sanfermines in the best way we know how…eating, drinking and being all around merry!!! A Hemingway theme show capped off by a Papa Hemingway Look-a-like contest.
Lula Distillery will provide the food and drinks, the the rest is up to La Madrina and Roxie!
The Running of the Bulls at San Fermin in Nueva Orleans (#SFNO #SFNO2019) is our homage to the world famous Encierro of Pamplona, Spain, a.k.a. The Running of the Bulls. Instead of bovines, our bulls are actually RollerBulls played by skaters selected from roller derby leagues around the world including New Orleans' all-female flat-track derby team the Big Easy Rollergirls! Join us, more than thousands of runners and hundreds RollerBulls as we bring our version of Pamplona's Fiesta to New Orleans!
Doors open at The Sugar Mill at 6:30AM. The Running of the Bulls happens promptly at 8:00AM.
Following the encierro, registered participants will be treated to one helluva show! This year's headliner has not been decided. But after having The Crystal Method in 2018, we know we've gotta come in strong!! So, one price gets you a chance to Run With The Bulls and enjoy some great music!!

Advanced Batting Practice Routine
(Haga clic aquí para leer en español)
How to maximize time dedicated to BP
Perhaps the highlight of any practice session for players is batting practice. It's important that the time dedicated to BP not only be productive, but be fun and engaging as well. While hitting is undoubtedly the focus during BP, this time can also be used to work on player's defensive and base running skills. Below is a template for an advanced BP routine that will keep your players moving and working on a variety of skills.
Batting Practice Stations
It is ideal to have at least one coach at each station during BP. However, some stations such as the tee and cage stations can be managed by players feeding the other players in their group. For maximum productivity, try to keep the groups small, perhaps 3 - 4 players each. Each station rotates to the next numerical station. Station 6 will rotate to station 1.
- Defensive Station
- Outfield - Live reads
- Infield - Live reads and fungo
- Cage One Station
- Regular front toss
- Off-speed front toss
- Tee Station
- Check point tee
- Regular tee
- Live Hitting Station
- Situations determined by coach
- 10 swings
- Focus on approach to hitting
- Base Running Station
- Reads at first base
- Reads at second base
- Reads at third base
- Defensive Station
- Outfield - Live reads
- Infield - Live reads and fungo
Optional Hitting Routines
The following hitting routines provide hitting situations that can be performed during batting practice, and the suggested repetition for each situation.
Situational Routine
- SAC-3, slash-2, bunt for hit-1
- Hit and run-3, opposite field-3
- Power alley-3, move the runner-3
- INF in-3, INF back-3
- Positive count-3, drives-3
- Swings-5
Swing Day Routine

2007 Chevrolet
Corvette Z06

When Chevrolet introduced the C6 Z06 in 2006, they had three magical numbers that would ring true with Bow Tie enthusiasts all over the world: 4-2-7. This sinister twin-turbocharged 2007 Z06 is nothing short of a weapon, both on the track and on the street, and you won't find a faster car for less cash anywhere.
This particular Black Z06 remains in excellent condition throughout, suggesting careful ownership since it was new. With only 28,966 original miles, it has been driven only on sunny days, and its well-preserved condition bears this out. Black was the most popular Z06 color in 2007, and if you like your Corvettes to walk softly and carry a big stick, this one is for you. 2527 Z06s were built in Black, and it's easy to understand why because the sucker looks nasty just sitting still. The Z06 enjoys wider wheel flares that give it a low, menacing stance as well as a custom front fascia with a special air intake between the headlights, and now fitted with a ZR1 front splitter. A few aftermarket body mods, including the air extractor on the back, only highlight the racetrack breeding. The effect isn't subtle, and nobody will mistake this Z06 for a garden-variety Corvette. It does show some very minor signs of use, because it's impossible to resist driving this car, but if you want one to drive, this is a fantastic choice (we'll tell you why in a moment).
As with the exterior, the interior of the car is in superb shape, with only very light signs of use. For all its race-inspired functionality, the Z06 is designed to be a daily-drivable high-performance vehicle. To that end, comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard. HID headlights, fog lamps, leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning, cabin air filtration and a heads-up display (HUD) with track mode and g-meter are standard. The Z06 gauge cluster displays the Z06 logo on the 7000-redline tachometer and has readout on the oil pressure gauge to reflect the higher standard pressure of the dry-sump oiling system. The seats feature leather seating surfaces, with Z06-logo embroidery and contrasting stitching, and someone has added a custom shifter for the 6-speed manual gearbox. The only other modifications are a back-up camera in place of the rear-view mirror, and, of course, the roll cage built in behind the seats.
The real drama is under this 'Vette's skin. That 427 cubic inch V8 is no joke, and with its aluminum construction, it weighs several hundred pounds less than the legendary 427s of the '60s, while extracting more performance than ever before. But that's not all, because the guys at Lindgren Supercars added a pair of big honkin' turbos to the front of the engine. With a fabricated intake, custom fuel system, and upgraded injectors, the nasty LS7 is as docile as a stocker but makes about three times more horsepower. An expert dyno tune ensures that it's very streetable despite the towering power output. The rear-mounted 6-speed transmission gets a pump that sends transmission fluid forward to be cooled in a dedicated heat exchanger. Massive 14-inch brakes are clamped by six piston calipers while out back, four piston units clamp merely large 13.4-inch rotors. It's been fitted with a custom coil-over suspension, upgraded dry sump system, and a hand-made exhaust setup that manages to sound amazing even with two turbos hushing it all up. Wheels are large-by-huge COR Cipher forged alloys with a flat black coating and wearing 285/25/20 front and 345/25/20 rear Toyo performance radials.
Featured in multiple magazine articles, the list of modifications and upgrades on this car is far too extensive to describe here. This remarkable machine is docile enough to drive to work but ferocious enough to scare fighter pilots. Give us a call today for all the insane details!

The Respectful Leader: Seven Ways to Influence Without Intimidation
By Gregg Ward
Wiley, 144 pp., $22
If you're a leader, do you consider your style respectful? Or do mounting stresses force a command-and-control or carrot-and-stick style? According to Ward, these are the only two management styles in the working world—and the latter is "considered by organizational experts to be unsustainable, demeaning, and a waste of human creativity."

These medical videos are produced for the European Society of Cardiology, in preparation of their annual congress.
Interesting is the fact that there are a lot of different formats which are used: purely medical procedures in the OR, patient presentations, patient interviews, in-house hospital meetings with the doctors and their teams, the route that a patient follows when she/he is accepted to the hospital etc. This all makes it very interactive and interesting for all parties involved. Like we know, still, after 20 years these productions remain a interesting challenge.Prague, Wolverhampton, Lyon

Power-to-weight ratio sounds complex, doesn't it? But in reality, it's simply the amount of power you can output per kilogram of weight. Simple! Improving your power-to-weight ratio will help make your summer sportives more enjoyable for a number of reasons, read on to find out more…
The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 route features two significant climbs, but take on another sportive and you could face far more undulating terrain. If you enjoy your sportives or road cycling, your power-to-weight ratio is a key metric, as you'll often need to get your body mass up (and over) hills.
If you're riding in a group, the heavier riders will need to produce more power to ride alongside the lighter members of the group up a hill. In the example below, if Adam produces an average of 300 watts and weighs 95kg and Laura produces 250 watts and weighs 71kg then you might easily assume that Adam would cycle faster up a hill as he is producing more absolute power than Laura.
Power-to-weight calculation
- Adam: 300/95 = 3.15w/kg
- Laura: 250/71 = 3.52w/kg
After discovering the riders' power-to-weight ratio, it becomes clear that while Laura is lighter and produces less power, she actually has a higher w/kg and therefore will climb quicker than Adam.
When you're on a descent, the tables turn and gravity is in your favour in your weigh more. This means that, generally, the larger and heavier riders like Adam will descend more quickly than lighter riders like Laura.
Top tip: Lighter riders like Laura can benefit from a slipstream effect by tucking in behind larger riders on a descent.
How to improve your power-to-weight ratio
The two main ways to improve your power-to-weight ratio are either lose weight or increase your sustainable power output.
Dieting simply to attain your ideal cycling weight can actually be counterproductive as you could lose muscle mass during your weight loss; you'll find your ability to produce power also reduces.
The best option is to focus on optimising power while balancing diet and weight.
Using a Wattbike you can begin to truly understand your power-to-weight values. From your test results you will be able to build a structured training programme, which will see natural weight loss and increased power bringing an overall much more enjoyable cycling experience.

Raising children is more about preparing them for send off than anything else. Still, it seems bitter sweet to have to release them after the time and energy is put into every nook and cranny of their lives. But that is the way it has to be. It would be cruel to not equip our children for the real world outside the cosy home we made. Here's a poem I wrote after reading how the python snake copes with letting their offspring go.
Shivering through the chilly nights
She keeps her young ones warm.
And watches from the brooding nest
To keep them safe from harm.
For days she wraps herself around
Her eggs so they will live.
And shields them with the fiercest love
Only a mother could give.
Then, as the young begin to hatch
The python slinks away.
It's time to build another nest
Her work is done today.

August 30, 1972 San Diego, CA 2:53 AM
Actress and former model Cameron Diaz turns the big 3-5 today. Few ladies have succeeded in Hollywood the way that Cameron has, being only the second woman, behind Scorpio Julia Roberts, to earn a $20 million paycheck. She is much beloved for her box-office draw as well as for her California casual sense of style and fun.
Virgo Cameron has her moon in Taurus, in the 11th house, and her Venus in Cancer, conjunct her ascendant. Venus conjunct the ascendant is one of the most dramatic signs of external beauty and Cam fits this discription to a tee, mesmerizing fans with her wide smile and piercing blue eyes. (Angelina Jolie is another beauty who has her Venus conjunct her ascendant, also in Cancer.)
Cameron's moon in Taurus has exerted a big influence over her life, including her passion for music and musicians. Cameron is often seen rocking out at concerts with her best friend, Pisces Drew Barrymore, and has dated several musicians including Capricorn actor/rocker Jared Leto and Aquarian Justin Timberlake. In recent weeks she has been spotted around New York with Libra singer John Mayer.
Cameron's sense of style is casual and sporty, and unlike most Virgos she is not afraid of mixing bold colors into her everyday looks. Though she often wears black or white, she usually adds bright, colorful accessories suchs as shoes, hats, scarves or a bag. She likes mixing and matching, a Virgo trademark, and is often seen in multiple layers. Playful stripes have also become a part of her signature style. Her moon in Taurus lends to her earth goddess vibe, and also indicates that she selects her pieces based on quality and timless-ness.

2017 Nissan 370Z Reviews and Ratings
Coupe Sport Tech Auto
NADAguides Consumer Review
Be the first to review this 2017 Nissan 370Z.
Rate This Vehicle
My Rating
My Review
Expert Reviews ( 1 )
The Nissan 370Z is an icon. Name another sports car that was a sensation from the gate, nearly 50 years ago, and is still around in a shapely form that's true to the spirited original. Plus, there is now a muscular roadster. Only the Porsche 911 can boast a deeper heritage. What's more, today it's uncommonly pure to performance, and not that expensive. It offers a lot of value in sports car performance.
The 2017 Nissan 370Z continues on that steadfast path of improving the car without changing its character. Its engine is mounted rearward to sharpen balance and handling. Its rear-wheel drive is a kick in the pants. There is a way-fun 6-speed manual gearbox, or paddleshifting 7-speed automatic, both transmissions with downshift blipping.
The 370Z features a strong V6 with its own deep heritage. This version is 3.7 liters and makes 332 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, while there's a Nismo coupe version that makes 350 hp.
With the 7-speed automatic, the 370Z gets an EPA-estimated 21 miles per gallon Combined city and highway.Model Lineup
The 2017 Nissan 370Z is available in coupe and roadster versions. There's also a Nismo-tuned coupe.
Safety features include front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, but not much else. There are also active head restraints and pre-tension seatbelts.
It comes as a base model, Sport, Sport Tech, and Touring for the coupe; Touring and Touring Sport for the convertible; base and Tech for the Nismo. None of the trims can be customized from the factory, although dealer options can be added, for example an aero kit. For 2017, the coupe and convertible come in a new color, bright Chicane Yellow, though the 370Z is rarely a rolling chicane.Walkaround
The coupe, roadster and Nismo share lines. The coupe has aggressive details that aren't overstated. The convertible looks muscular with the power top down, while still looking sleek and sporty with the top up. The Nismo has different trim, but it's not like many sports cars, where the high-performance model gets wings and flares.Interior
The cabin is simple, functional, and pleasing, designed to be purposeful. The materials and are premium, one step shy of luxury. The leathers, upholstery and switches feel durable and supple. But you won't confuse the cabin for a Mercedes SL.
The four-way power seats are low and snug, with decent padding that's comfortable for many body types. Still, the fairly stiff ride will get you. The seats are heated and cooled on upper models.
The power convertible top is quick to use, but it lets wind noise into the cabin when it's up, and takes up trunk space (as they all do) when it's down. It's the nature of a soft top.
The standard wide tires are loud in the cabin. So is the engine, even with the noise-canceling system that's standard on all models except base. Some engines we want to hear at full song, but the aging V6 in the 370Z is less mellifluous than it used to be.
Forward visibility is good but rearward three-quarters not so good, on account of thick pillars in the coupe and roadster. That worrisome blind spot, looking over your shoulder when pulling onto the highway at an angle, can't be helped. However a rearview camera is standard on all models except base.Driving Impressions
The 370Z offers excellent driving dynamics and mostly excellent ride quality. It's nimble as well as powerful, well done. However it has a slightly dull steering feel and there's not much communication between road and wheel. It's still rewarding and engaging to drive hard.
The 332-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 isn't as refined as some rivals and doesn't sound sweet at full song. It's Nissan's well-worn VQ engine series, more reliable than the previous 3.5-liter but also more mechanical sounding.
Both transmissions are slick and respectable. We like the 6-speed manual for its short, stiff throws between gears. Rev-matching downshifting eliminates heel-and-toe, and unlike heel-and-toe gets the throttle blip right every time. The paddleshifting automatic also does the blip, and with an automatic it's all good because it doesn't take away anything, from the driver.Summary
We suggest a good long test drive in the 370Z, before you buy. If you like the engine and dynamics, buy it. There are no dealbreakers with this car except it might not grab you.

The founder of Musclefood has released a video statement regarding their product recall last week.
In the video, Darren Beale talks customers through the recall and why it was necessary.
Mr Beale has also released a statement on the Musclefood website:
"The team and I take our responsibilities incredibly seriously; and although on a daily basis we are offered products from a variety of suppliers we vet and choose our suppliers very carefully.
"In this case our supplier was a British Retail Consortium AA rated supplier; the highest rating you can achieve in the industry, with an excellent pedigree of supplying multinational companies. The moment they realised their mistake; they informed us and we informed you.
"They have let us down; and although the Muscle Food team quality check thousands of items every day; use some of the UK's best known suppliers and care passionately about ensuring product quality – we have let you down too, sorry.
You putting your trust in Muscle Food is a huge honour for me and the team, and even just one precautionary recall compared to supermarkets' hundreds a year, is one too many."
The rest of the Musclefood team also commented on the recall:
"It would have been easy to have not done the right thing.
But that isn't the Muscle Food way.
Instead we voluntarily did a precautionary recall; and was actively pursuing the Food Standards Agency to allows us to notify our customers sooner rather than later.
It would have been easy to have chosen a supplier with limited Food Safety accreditation and little regard for our customer's health and safety.
But that isn't the Muscle Food way.
Instead we chose a supplier who are British Retail Consortium AA accredited – a global standard for food safety. It wasn't possible for us to have chosen a higher accreditation of supplier.
The Muscle Food way is putting our loyal customers first, always.
We believe we have done this by going above and beyond what is expected of us; by doing a voluntary recall, and refunding customers even if their products are within the 10 days shelf life advised by the FSA.
But that isn't for us to judge, it is for our incredible customers to do.
Customers who had deliveries between 25th of January and 3rd of February could have been affected by the recall. Please visit: www.musclefood.com/productnotice."

Calif. Sues JPMorgan Chase for Robosigning Debt Collection Suits
blogs.lawyers.comMay 19, 2013
By Josh Crank
California's top lawyer has filed a suit against JPMorgan Chase for fraudulent and unlawful debt collection practices. Attorney General Kamala Harris accused the lender of burying California courts in thousands of debt collection lawsuits without verifying the validity of the suits or even serving the defendants with court papers.
The suit specifically alleges a widespread practice of robosigning — signing hundreds of pages of legal paperwork without reading them — in JPMorgan Chase's credit card collection efforts. JPMorgan Chase was one of several major lenders to suspend real estate foreclosures in 2010 after robosigning was discovered to be one of the primary causes of the foreclosure crisis.
According to the complaint, the company "flooded California's courts with collection lawsuits against defaulted credit card borrowers based on patently insufficient evidence — betting that borrowers would lack the resources or legal sophistication to call [JPMorgan Chase's] bluff."
The complaint also says the financial giant "cut corners in the name of speed, cost savings, and their own convenience, providing only the thinnest veneer of legitimacy to their lawsuits."
Between January 2008 and April 2011, Harris said JPMorgan Chase filed an average of more than 100 debt collection lawsuits in California on each day the courts were open. On one day, the company filed 469 suits.
"My problem with it is just the sheer volume of lawsuits they file," said California attorney Jonathan G. Stein. "That rate is simply not possible if you're going to actually review the lawsuits and see if there is a valid case."
The extent of the onslaught of lawsuits not only suggests that JPMorgan Chase was cutting corners, it also meant that other plaintiffs and defendants faced burdensome wait times for their days in court.
"Excess like this is why regular people often don't get access to the justice system," Stein said.
In addition to robosigning, the complaint against JPMorgan Chase alleges a practice known as "sewer service," in which a lender claims to have served the borrower with a notice of the lawsuit when no such notification has been made. Stein said that because of this practice, borrowers sometimes find out they've been sued only when they discover wage garnishment on their paychecks. By deceiving a court into believing that a consumer has been notified, a lender can often win a default judgment with no opposition.
Stein said there are a number of ways in which lawmakers and the courts can and should work to protect consumers from illegal debt collection practices. One way is for legislators to strengthen the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which places a host of regulations on lenders and the third-party debt collectors they use. Minnesota Sen. Al Franken has twice proposed amendments to the act that would increase fines for violations and broaden consumer protections, but the legislation failed to make it out of committee both times.
Increasing fines is key, Stein said, because so few borrowers have the resources to fight back against illegal practices.
"If the penalty a lender has to pay is just $1000 plus attorney fees, they're not going to be that concerned," Stein said. "If they pay even $10,000 for one wrongful suit, they may be simultaneously making $5,000 or even just $2,500 each on 20 more suits and coming out way ahead."
Stein said the courts must also reexamine the way these suits are handled so they can "make sure the debt collectors are right without simply rubber-stamping these judgments."
As for enforcement of debt collection laws, Stein said attorneys general in other states should follow Harris' example, but conceded that law enforcement resources alone are insufficient to stem the tide of illegal debt collection suits. Stein suggested that Harris could leverage her office's resources against JPMorgan Chase by negotiating a settlement that includes a special master assigned to oversee the company's debt lawsuits, although he doesn't see such a deal as likely.

CARDIGANS: Dolman and Batwing
Still keeping with cardigans, because I really do love them, and find various styles useful for various reasons. These are dolman and batwing cardigans. They have similar shapes, because the armpit area is loose and has a wider curve. This allows for more arm and body movement, and isn't restrictive like a fitted cardigan will be. I find these handy when I'm layering clothing, and wearing a voluminous shirt (my Mexican ones) that won't fit under a normal cardigan. They come in various colors and knit weights, but my favorites and most used are light weight knits in neutrals. These are also great if you have large boobs, and a large torso, since the shape doesn't hug your body. Closures will vary per style, as many are open cardigans and don't have a fit that would be flattering with a closure. Some dolman sleeved cardigans can be cinched, but if the cardigan is bulky, that cinching won't be flatering. The wide curved sides of batwing cardigans make cinching impossible, because it will restrict arm movement and create bulk from the cinched fabric. These cardigans are good for layering, because the lose shape can accommodate the bulk from most layering, and not feel restrictive.

Investors took fright, with the Dow Jones index tumbling 226 points – 2.7pc – to 8149.01 at close. In London, the FTSE100 closed down 105.09 points – 2.45pc – at 4190.11.
Photography group Eastman Kodak is to make up to 4,500 staff redundant, just a year after halving its workforce.
Car manufacturer Ford is also axing 1,200 workers in its credit division, as it reported its biggest-ever loss.
The redundancies bring the total number of jobs lost in the US in the last four days to over 100,000 and the total for January is now likely to be the biggest in this recession.
Employment data released yesterday showed that those claiming unemployment benefit for the first time rose to 588,000 in the week to January 24, up from 585,000 in the preceding week.
Those claiming benefits for more than a week rose 159,000 to 4.776m – the highest on record.
Ford is making its job cuts having just closed the books on its worst year – in financial terms – in its 105-year history.
The company reported a 2008 loss of $14.6bn (£10.22bn) – equivalent to a loss of $2,700 for every vehicle sold during the year.
Chief executive Alan Mulally again stressed that Ford will not need a bridging loan from the US government unless it is impacted by extraordinary circumstances, such as the collapse of a competitor.
Ford – which did not receive any state aid in December's $17.4bn bail-out of its two main rivals, General Motors and Chrysler – ended the year with $24bn in cash but $25.8bn of debt. The manufacturer said it intends to utilise some of $10.1bn of credit lines available to it as it continues to restructure its business.
Eastman Kodak's sales tumbled by 24pc in the fourth-quarter, leading to a net loss of $137m.
Chief executive Antonio Perez said the second-half was "one of the most challenging periods we have seen in decades".
Sales of traditional camera equipment fell by 27pc, and digital equipment by 23pc.

Don't Cry for Me Argentina: Part I
An overview of Argentina's sovereign debt holdout hurdles in NML Capital Ltd v. Republic of Argentina [2011] UKSC 31 and its wider implications.
Brief introduction
The unresolved decade-long dispute between NML Capital Ltd and the Republic of Argentina in the US Courts has been referred to as the 'trial of the century' in sovereign debt restructuring due to the complicated and perhaps precedent-setting legal issues it poses. Before engaging in a discussion on those issues, it is important to set out the background of the dispute and identify the key stakeholders involved.
In the midst of a crippling economic depression, in late 2001, Argentina defaulted on part of its foreign debt worth 90 billion US dollars. Sovereign bond issuance is the means by which countries raise capital. Bonds are bought by various parties, such as pension funds, hedge funds, foreign governments and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A sovereign default occurs when a country fails to repay its debt within the timeframe agreed between the parties. It has great implications on the defaulting country such as a freeze in foreign capital and investment, which are needed to fund essential state projects. The need for foreign capital acts as an incentive for states to voluntarily renegotiate their defaulted debt with bondholders under guidelines issued by the IMF. A consensual agreement between the parties would take the form of a debt restructuring where typically new bonds are issued at some loss to the bondholders or alternatively, a later maturity date is agreed.
With its economy in dire condition, its currency steeply depreciating and capital moving out of the country, in 2002 Argentina began its restructuring by taking a hard position towards bondholders. After prolonged and complicated negotiations, Argentina made a unilateral offer to the creditors, offering new bonds with substantial 'haircuts' in comparison to the original ones. In addition, it introduced a 'Lock Law' (Loj Cerroj) prohibiting the state from repaying any holdouts creditors: 'The national State shall be prohibited from conducting any type of in-court, out-of-court or private settlement with respect to [unexchanged FAA Bonds].'
This measure was incorporated in order to encourage participation in the restructuring by ensuring that holdouts would not receive a more favourable offer at a later date to that of the exchanged bondholders. Finally in 2005, Argentina restructured 76% of its debt going up to 93% in its second restructuring in 2010. Given the substantial losses offered by Argentina to the defaulted bondholders, the initial 76% participation was considered a great success.
The remaining holdout creditors have sought litigation as means of recouping payment from Argentina pursuant to the original bonds. In fact, some of the defaulted debt was bought by hedge funds, including NML Capital Ltd, a part of Elliot Management, on the secondary market. Referred to as 'vulture funds' for their aggressive strategy of buying cheap distressed debt and then suing the defaulting country, the holdout hedge funds took the matter to the US courts.
Why New York?
The bonds were issued under a Fiscal Agency Agreement (FAA) in 1994 specifying the jurisdiction of the New York courts and New York governing law. Therefore, the holdout creditors applied to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for full repayment of the original bonds on the basis of a breach of the pari passu clause in the FAA.
The pari passu clause
NML Ltd argues that Argentina violated the pari passu provision in its FAA by paying exchanged debt-holders without also paying holdout creditors. The FAA provision states:
"[t]he Securities will constitute … direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Republic and shall at all times rank pari passu without any preference among themselves. The payment obligations of the Republic under the Securities shall at all times rank at least equally with all its other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness…"
The pari passu, translated from Latin as 'equal footing,' is a clause widely used in sovereign and corporate debt contracts. It has a particular application in the context of a corporate bankruptcy or a sovereign default. Its goal is to ensure that all creditors are treated equally. Although ubiquitous, pari passu has no uniform meaning as Lee Buchheit, one of the most prominent sovereign debt restructuring experts, has suggested. He also notes that a clear distinction should be made between pari passu in the corporate debt and sovereign debt contexts. In 2005, litigation in Belgium by NML Capital's associate, Elliot Management, encouraged the Bank of England's Financial Markets Law Committee to issue an analysis of the role, use and meaning of the clause in English law. However, the New York courts have never interpreted the pari passu clause within a sovereign context until the present dispute between NML Capital Ltd v Republic of Argentina. Therefore, its interpretation could set a precedent for the meaning of pari passu under New York law.
Judge Griesa from the District Court held that Argentina's declaration of non-payment, its payments to exchanged bondholders and its introduction of the Lock Law violated the pari passu clause in the FAA rendering the holdout creditors as de facto subordinated creditors. The Second Circuit Court further supported this through its own judgement:
Instead, we conclude that in pairing the two sentences of its Pari Passu Clause, the FAA manifested an intention to protect bondholders from more than just formal subordination. The first sentence … prohibits Argentina, as bond issuer, from formally subordinating the bonds by issuing superior debt. The second sentence … prohibits Argentina, as bond payor, from paying on other bonds without paying on the FAA bonds, Thus, the two sentences of the Pari Passu Clause protect against different forms of discrimination: the issuance of other superior debt (first sentence) and the giving of priority to other payment obligations (second sentence)
The Second Circuit Court also dismissed Argentina's claim that those measures were purely legal subordination and that the meaning of pari passu has been established by custom in the past 50 years:
that there was "de facto" subordination because Argentina reduced the rank of plaintiffs'bonds to a permanent non-performing status by passing legislation barring payments on them while continuing to pay on the restructured debt and by repeatedly asserting that it has no intention of making payments on plaintiffs' bonds
Part II will discuss the implications of the Second Circuit's interpretation of pari passu, the unprecedented injunction and Argentina's sovereign immunity.

Custom Views are sharable URL links that display shipments (depending on the criteria created by you) which are viewable to anyone who has the link.
By using the CUSTOM VIEWS feature of EmergeTMS, you won't need to make hourly check calls anymore. You won't need to setting reminders to send tracking emails to a whole list of contacts who require visibility on their shipments.
By the end of this article, you will know:
- How to create a CUSTOM VIEW
- How to share the unique CUSTOM VIEW link
- How to set a password to view the CUSTOM VIEW
- How to remove the Full Details access
How to Create a CUSTOM VIEW
- Click the Sharing tab within the navigation panel
- Click the blue CREATE button
- Name the custom view
- Create the Custom View viewing permissions
Within Step #4, you will enter the view permissions of this custom view. The viewing permissions represent the criteria that shipments have to meet in order to be viewed within the link.
View Permission Example: Your customer 'E-Tron' has required tracking updates on all of their shipments from Arizona because its full of expensive electronics.
The viewing permissions will be the following (shown below):
- Commodity: Electronics
- From State: AZ
- Customers: E-Tron
How to Share the CUSTOM VIEW
Once the criteria has been selected, the next section will have the unique shipment link. This link can be copied and sent to anyone who needs to see updates. The link will not expire unless it's removed from the custom view grid.
How to set a password for this CUSTOM VIEW
Once the link has been sent out, setting a password ensures only the people who need to see updates are seeing those updates.
How to remove Full Details access
The final option is to show a full details page or not. The full details page is a quick one page summary of the shipment. If the shared link is going to display multiple shipments at a time we recommend keeping this option off.
Once all the correct information is entered, and the directions above are completed, simply click SAVE at the bottom of the screen to successfully create your new Custom View!

Hi. I'm from South Africa
I'm from the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
I'm planning a trip to help me shed the grief of all that has happened in my life for the past several years. My husband wanted to go to California this summer to see where our daughter lived. I'm going there, plus many more places to honor him since he died in Oct, 2017. Each day is so hard, reminders everywhere, sudden surprises that are not welcomed. I have some good supports, but also many that are not good. This trip is for me.... for healing. Feel free to read about it HERE, and my other stories. It's the only way I can share and get the grief out.
Hi Kristyn,
I hope you find the peace your looking for. :-) Enjoy the trip as much as you can. :-)
Thank you so much, Susan!
Safe travels, and I hope you find peace on your journey...

From my studio in Cambridgeshire I work as a freelance frontend developer. Built with Foundation framework, I'll supply you with vanilla frontend markup of your visuals. You have the freedom to use your own preferred CMS and backend developer.
Is this service for you
This service is best suited to independent designers, creative design agencies and small to medium businesses who require static markup of their visual designs. You'll have a backend developer in place to migrate my markup into your preferred content management system.
What's included
Pixel perfect recreation of your visuals
I appreciate good design and understand the importance of creating a faithful recreation of your visuals. I can reassure you that my attention to detail is second to none. So if it's a 2 pixel border you ask for, a 2 pixel border is just what you'll get.
Browser testing and QA
Each site I build is fully tested for bugs and quality assurance before it leaves my studio. I test on live devices which ensures an accurate representation. In the unlikely event you find a bug just shout, I'll be happy to fix this at no additional charge.
Headache free markup
Working with legacy code can be a nightmare, a developer shouldn't have to worry about interpreting poorly written code. I aim to make the markup I supply easy to read, modify and extend. I achieve this with detailed commenting, semantic class naming, logical file structuring and SASS powered styling. You can learn more about how I build my sites on my technology page.
Developer handover
A full handover is included, at no extra cost. I'll provide a detailed one-to-one overview of the supplied source code. I'll also be on hand to answer any additional queries you may have during the development of the backend.
Why Foundation
There are many benefits in choosing Foundation over Bootstrap, an alternative framework used by other freelance frontend developers. These include the core technologies the framework is built on, the size of the user base and ease of customisation. That being said, if you have an alternative framework you would like to use, just ask.
Trusted by big brands
Foundation is the choice for some of the world's biggest brands. They include Mini, Coca Cola, Barclays Bank & Ford to name a few.
Fully customisable
A common complaint against Bootstrap is the time required to strip out the pre-defined styles. Foundation's bare-bones appearance and SASS mixins make customising the framework a quick and simple process. Its modular approach means a developer only has to include the functionality they require, reducing file size and increase page load speed.
Mobile first
Responsive web design comes naturally to those who use Foundation framework. An excellent mobile first and fluid grid system adapts to any given viewport. Which is great for SEO & your users.
Open source
The framework dates back to 2008 when it was used as a prototyping platform. In 2011 the Foundation we know today was first launched to the public as an open source project. Which means it's free to use, with no limitations on modifying its functionality to suit your project.
How much could it cost
Unlike some, I don't like to bill by the hour. Instead I'll review the requirements of your project and provide a flat-rate cost for my freelance frontend developer service. I find this is much more transparent and beneficial for both parties. The costs of a typical website will vary depending on the scope and scale, for a detailed quotation please get in touch.

For Him
To the world, he is a fortress. Strong, formidable, impenetrable. Outwardly, he is the image of strength & success.
In his mind, he is a titan - master of influence, powerful, unbeatable.
Until he is with me.
With me, his fortress crumbles. His powers of influence fail him. He falters & stumbles.
It is an unfamiliar & unwelcome feeling. He has spent years perfecting his armor, and it is without a single flaw. Yet somehow I was able to sneak in, undetected. He didn't even realize it was happening until it was too late. He was so busy guarding the front gate, he didn't realize that I was standing right behind him until it was too late.
How unsettling it must be to spend years building your defenses, only to discover they harbor no protection when you think you need them most.
But what if the protection isn't needed anymore?
What happens when your perceived enemy becomes your greatest ally?
Do you let them in or continue to hold them at arm's length, wary of a possible attack?
If only he could see that his greatest champion is before him. With him to catch him when he stumbles. Beside him at every step along his journey. Handing him the bricks he uses to build his fortune.
I am not there because he needs me when he is weak.
I am there because his strength gives me strength. And together, the beauty we create is stronger than anything else in this world.
The beauty I see in him outweighs & outlasts everything.
What made him the man he is...are the same things that are keeping him from being the man I need him to be...the man we need him to be.
And so I stand aside, knowing the right course but unable to set him upon it. Knowing that he must come to it on his own, and that he may never get there.
I leave it in his hands...
Hopeful that one day he will see what was always there...
