Chris and Kaddi were married on April 13th, 2013 in Greencastle, Ann and I were thrilled to be there as their photographers to capture all the special moments that happened that day. We started off bright and early at Salon D'va in Avon for some hair appointments. After the girls had their hair sprayed in place we were on the road for a quick drive west towards Greencastle Christian Church where the couple would be wed. Before the wedding once everyone was dressed, we headed over to the campus of Depauw University for some photos.
Kaddi asked the pastor of the church if I could stand behind the alter for the first kiss, this is pretty unusual, I have never done it before, but it made for a fantastic photo! I am so glad she asked!
The groomsmen's one request all day long was a Duck Dynasty style photo shoot….so near sunset we headed outside, they geared up, and this is the result…super fun and unique photos!
Chris and Kaddi were introduced as husband and wife and made their grand entrance to the wedding reception at the Dixie Chopper Business center at the Greencastle airport. They transformed a airplane hanger into a really unique wedding reception venue!

Already everyone else appeared paired up so I sat down, to sit it out. An older woman approached me to answer the opening question, "Name one thing you're grateful for today." I said how well my exercise program has gone this past year. She replied with a general "God's faithfulness" answer, revealing nothing about herself. Then, spotting my miraculous medal necklace, she held on, stretched our exchange.
"Is this your first year?"Often looking, as she asked each question, at my necklace.
"How did you learn of it?"
"Had you been a Bible reader before joining?"
"You joined despite knowing no one?!"1
Registration forms for 2012-2013 were emailed last week and I turned mine in immediately. Even though specific denominations aren't to be mentioned in core group, the registration form inquires about home church and affiliation. As on the previous two forms I've submitted, I didn't shy away from full disclosure. I'm not sure who has access to the registration forms but I assume, wherever women are concerned, there are no secrets. That is, I figure my core group leader and her superiors know, and maybe her close friends. I try not to be "difficult," so as not to confirm their prejudices.
The acting Teaching Director sat in our core group. I was a bit appalled at the sucking up that ensued, many commenting on "how fun" the unique opening activity had been. This year, when the previous director resigned, the Associate Teaching Director was forced into her new position. Every associate needs to be prepared for that possibility, right? She tries to fulfill her responsibilities but it's clear she'd rather not.
Staff sits in our core group from time to time. Everyone's always concerned that they are "evaluating," whatever that could mean. At most, they may be seeing which personalities to place together in next year's core groups. They strive for dynamic groups. Of course, with absences, which seem to be excessive this year despite the mild winter, the group is rarely fully as intended anyway. I tried not to change my demeanor because I want to be properly placed. I have not connected with my core group members this year at all. They all seem too concerned about how they come across to the core group leader and each other. Not very genuine.
Here's to hoping next year is better! We'll be doing Daniel, Job and "Solomon's Wisdom." No, not that Wisdom! Believe me, there was a hush across the audience when the study was announced2 and I was fleetingly hopeful! Someone from the audience even shouted out possible clarifications, "Song of Solomon? Song of Songs?!" But when those corrections were dismissed, I deduced it would be an anthology of Solomon's writings, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs.
1 and, after two years, I still know no one.

Our yard projects are coming right along. I am not sure if you remember, but we have a green house and the renovation of it will be in phase two of our yard remodel, but the green house has a cute porch and we decided to go ahead and clean the porch up and make it a usable space. We started by cleaning everything off the porch and taking the large humidifier out of the window. The humidifier gone made such a difference on space. The porch is only about 5'X 22'.
Mr. Wonderful power washed the porch area. For all of our big jobs we always call Clean and Green, but for just the porch he used our small power washer and cleaned it up. We then added furniture back on the porch. The only thing I bought was a pillow for the white chair that was left with the green house. The bistro set is the only yard furniture that we brought from our previous house (the buyers wanted everything else). Even the bird bath was something that was left on the property and I moved it here.
I have been working on landscaping the front. The beds were already there, we just tilled them up and I have been adding a variety of cutting flowers. I am so pleased with the way it is coming along. I still need a few more flowers and I want to add outdoor string lights and a swing on one end. And maybe paint the door a fun color, any suggestions?
It is such a peaceful place, even being just feet from the house, we have enjoyed it already! The inside of the greenhouse is just for storage at this point. We have quite a bit of deconstruction to do before we can start construction, but as I said those dreams are a couple of years down the road.

Georgian Defense Minister Irakli Okruashvili will leave for Kiev, Ukraine on April 24 to, as he put it, arrange a large-scale exhibition of Georgian wine.
Okruashvili said on April 20 while speaking on a political talk show aired by Rustavi 2 television that the event will be part of the Georgian authorities attempts to promote Georgian wine on new markets after Russia banned the import of them.
On April 12 President Saakashvili tasked Defense Minister Okruashvili with promoting Georgian wine on new markets.
The Defense Minister said on the talk show that the Georgian authorities, who have an action plan, are working actively to diversify into foreign markets this will require several months, or maybe even years, of hard work.
Okruashvili said that a PR campaign under the banner Buy the best Georgian wine, which is banned in Russia is planned.
He said that fighting falsified wine is another direction of the Georgian authorities policy in this regard.
We will have to undertake very active measures to force falsified products out of the market, he said.
He said that there are falsified wines even in Georgias domestic market, including in the network of restaurants.
There are several factories which are producing falsified wine and which should be immediately closed down. Okruashvili said.
We should work actively with our wine producers so that they can improve their marketing, the quality of their wines, their distribution network, and can gain access to new markets, including those in North and West Europe. Georgian wine was always geared towards the Russian market, meaning that [wine producers] were able to export wine there which would never be sold, for example, in England because even if you export excuse me for this expression feces to Russia it can be sold there, Okruashvili said.
He also said that Russias decision to ban the import of Georgia wine was not a surprise for Tbilisi.
There are a number of sensitive issues remaining for our country which the Russian authorities might use [against Georgia], but we should understand that this and I do not think the Georgian society needs additional explanations for this is the price of our freedom, the price which we are paying and the price which we should unquestionably pay, Okruashvili said.
He said that events similar to the one planned in Ukraine will also take place in the Baltic States, as well as in Poland and Kazakhstan and in northern Europe and the Netherlands by the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

By Andrew Bansal
On the night of Tuesday September 5th 2017, I was contacted by Lemmy's best friend, Scott Albanesius, via the Metal Assault facebook messenger. He said he read my article from last Monday and wanted to talk to me urgently, that he had a story to tell, a story he had never told before. I understand that a lot of the content in this interview can be outrightly deemed controversial, but before you proceed further, I must state that this is simply a transcript of what Scott told me on record. This is his version of the truth. Without further ado, here's Scott Albanesius' truth, about the Lemmy statue, the Rainbow, the Motörhead management, the Maglieris, and a whole lot more. (Full audio available at the end of the article).
On the Lemmy statue at the Rainbow:
"So … I was Lemmy's friend for years. In fact, the first time I was ever at the Rainbow was with Lemmy. And I was a snake handler for Alice Cooper, that's how I met him. I ended up getting a job at the Rainbow as the maintenance guy. I also worked at the Maglieri home on Mulholland and I worked at the Whisky also. I built the front of that stage, you know. I worked there for almost 6 years, from February 2011 until January 18th of 2017. I always did the setup and teardown when we had the backyard bash, and all that. So, I was the go-to guy. 'Oh yeah, Scotty can do it!' So, they tell me that they're getting the Lemmy statue. I was like, OK great! They asked me if I could build a place for it. This is like July 2016. They wanted it built by the 14th of July. I said, OK I'll get started on it after 4th of July, no problem. A week or so before that, they ended up giving that job to a contractor. That was my job, but I was like, OK, no big deal. So, he was the one that made that big monstrosity which looks like a walk-in shower. I did not built that. I was just going to build a wall out, and then have the statue standing on a platform, kind of like a stage, and you'd be able to have 2 people on each side to take pictures with the statue. I wanted to have it like a little nook by simply building a wall out. I was going to make it all oak, and put iron crosses and all that kind of stuff in there. He liked the oak leaf that's on the German daggers and stuff that he possessed. So, they were showing me pictures of the statue, and I go, that doesn't look like him! Everything is perfect until you get to his face, which doesn't look like him. It looks like some old pirate. Eyes are the window to the soul, right? The eyes of the statue ain't right, so it wasn't gonna look like him. So, July 14th, the Lemmy statue arrives in a big crate and I get up there and they have it in the back hallway, 10 feet from the back door. Anybody could have rolled up there with a dolly at any point from when it got there till August when we actually put the thing in, and taken the freaking thing, you know. It was there for over a month. I posted a picture on facebook saying, oh look, my best friend is here! A picture of the box. And they started freaking out. It was the management from Motörhead that was freaking out. They basically went to Mikael Maglieri, who is now the owner since Mario has passed away, and told him to tell me to take that picture down. This was the first inkling that I knew that they were gonna choose Motörhead management, which is Todd Singerman, over me … "
On the statue reveal and Lemmy's son:
"So then a month later, when we were installing the statue, Lemmy's son Paul put on facebook that he is not going to be attending the Lemmy statue reveal because he is in a lawsuit with Todd Singerman, because he has control over the will. He is the executor of the will. Paul is suing Todd because he won't give him any of his dad's guitars, he gets nothing. He took everything out of his condo, and everything is in storage. When I mentioned to Paul, hey it's your dad's statue, dude, he goes, 'You know, Singerman is gonna be there.' So I'm like, how about I talk to the Maglieris and we'll provide security for you. He goes, 'Yeah, if you wanna do that, I'll go.' So I go to the Maglieris the next day, I walk up to Mikael Maglieri and I say to him, Paul would like to come but I told him we'd provide security for him. Before I even had a chance to finish my sentence, Mikael said, 'Tell him not to bother coming.' I go, he's Lemmy's son! And he goes, 'He's suing my best friend Todd right now, so just tell him not to come.' At that moment I knew that eventually if they were gonna pick, they were gonna choose the friendship with Singerman Entertainment over Lemmy's own son Paul, who's a total sweetheart of a guy. So, I made the phone call and told him. I hung up the phone, and got to working on something, fixing a bar stool or something stupid, and in walks Lemmy's girlfriend Cheryl. She's also Lemmy's beneficiary. She walks in and she's all pissed off at Mikael for telling Paul not to come. She goes, 'You call Paul back and you tell him that his mother wants him here. It's his father's statue and he should be here. Tell him I want him here.' So, he ended up coming. There was a whole fiasco about that. It was totally disorganized. It was horrible, man. Todd was standing there with Cheryl with a microphone, but nobody can hear anything they're saying. People started chanting, 'Let Paul through!' They didn't want to hear what Todd was saying, they wanted to see Lemmy's son in flesh and blood. He looks a lot like his dad, you know."
On what Lemmy really thought of Mikkey Dee:
"Lemmy hated him, you know. Lemmy said to me one time, 'You know there's one good thing about Mikkey Dee, at least he gives us somebody to hate in the band.' I thought that was kind of weird. Why would you want somebody to hate in your band? I guess it filled a gap for him. Gotta have somebody to hate (laughs). Being that I was working at the Rainbow, the bartenders were all my friends. I was telling Lemmy about a time that Mikkey was in there with his friends and every time he needed a beer he was just banging the empty bottle on the bar saying, 'Come on, I need another beer!' Carolyn the bartender was giving him attitude like, 'That's not gonna get you service quicker!' At the end of the night he stiffs her. On a $65 tab, him and his friends, they didn't even tip her. I told Lemmy this and he goes, 'They're mean people, Scott.' What more can you say?"

An official letter, signed by top officials and legal consultants in the ministry of state for antiquities affairs, call for the Egypt's PM Essam Sharaf to appoint a minister of antiquities immediately.
Three weeks following Sharaf's decision for antiquities to separate antiquities from the ministry of culture, leaving it an independent body among the cabinet echelon, the antiquities department is leaderless.To date the cabinet has not yet appointed a leader for the Antiquities Department, and at this point whether the title is 'minister' or 'director' seems to be of secondary importance to those working in the antiquities field in Egypt.
"No one is responsible for Egypt's antiquities," Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud, director of the central administration for antiquities in Alexandria and Lower Egypt, told Ahram Online. He continued that this has led to the absence of security and administration. These have been halted as there is no leader to take decisions on antiquities or to continue working.
Abdel Maqsoud explained that the monthly meeting of the permanent committees for ancient Egyptian and Islamic monuments are at a halt. These committees are taking all required procedures to stop encroachment on archaeological sites as well as approving the new excavation requests submitted by Egyptian or foreign expeditions. The administration board is on hiatus as well as the committee of exhibitions abroad. Now, explained Abdel Maqsoud, the antiquities department cannot issue any ministerial decision for the return of any archaeological exhibition abroad or its transportation to another country. There isn't even an official escort.
"To spruce up the work we need a leader for antiquities,"asserts Abdel Maqsoud, relating that an official letter signed by him along with other top officials in the ministry of antiquities and its legal consultants was sent to PM Sharaf to press for definition of antiquities section, whether as a ministry or authority, as well for the appointment of a new leader.

Bone loss associated with sleeve but not banding
A comparison of different modalities of bone loss has reported that patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy had reduced bone, compared with patients who underwent gastric banding. The study, presented at ENDO2013, the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, in San Francisco, concluded that bone loss associated with sleeve patients was not accounted for by weight loss alone, and may involve changes in factors such as Peptide YY and adiponectin.
Despite the rise of obesity and bariatric surgery procedures, the study researchers from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and St Vincent's Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital, St George Private Hospital and St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, Australia, said that the skeletal consequences from surgery have not been fully explored and explained.
As a result, they examined the skeletal response in 42 patients to three weight loss modalities: medical managed dieting (n=15), gastric banding (n=7) and gastric sleeve (n=20).
At baseline, average age was 53 ±12 years (medical managed dieting 57±10, gastric banding 46±13 and gastric sleeve 52±12) and the differences were not significant. Average BMI was 39 ±6 (medical managed dieting 38±7, gastric banding 37±3, and gastric sleeve 42±5) and the differences were not significant.
They reported 12 month data including DXA at 0 and 12 months, calcium intake, 25-OH vitamin D, PTH, gut hormones and adipokines, from a 24 month prospective trial. Calcium intake, 25-OH vitamin D and PTH were normal throughout.
The 12 months results showed that percentage weight change was the least in medical managed dieting group (-5: -8, -1 (mean: Q1, Q3)), greater in in the banding patients (-12: -17,-7) and greatest in the sleeve patients (-27: -31,-22), ANOVA, F=35, p<0.0001. % loss in total hip bone mineral density was evident in sleeve patients (-6.1: -8,-4) but non-significant in medical managed dieting (-0.95: -2, 0.1) and banding patients (-1.76: -3,-0.3) ANOVA, F=18, p<0.001, despite weight loss in the other groups.
According to the researchers, there were several factors that affected bone loss. Weight loss in the sleeve group occurred in the first six months post-surgery and bone loss continued throughout the study period: 3.5% by three months, 6% by 12 months. The eight patients with 24 month data had further BMD loss of 10% (-10%: -12,-9) with decrease in mean total hip T-score from +0.9 to 0.0, p<0.001, suggesting that weight loss may not be the sole determinant of bone loss. The total hip area did not change between visits, p=0.29, hence areal bone mineral density at total hip (24 months) declined by 10% p<0.001. Loss of total hip bone mineral density was significantly correlated to weight loss at 12 month (r=0.57, p<0.02) with weight loss accounting for 28% of the 12 month decrease in bone mineral density (adj R2=0.28).
Bone turnover markers increased in sleeve patients from baseline to 12 months: osteocalcin (9±3µg/L to 15±7, p<0.001) and uNTX (30±10nmol/mMCr to 55±26, p<0.001), compared with no noticeable change in the two other groups.
It was also reported that Peptide YY has a negative effect on bone, as at baseline there were no post-prandial PYY increase evident in any of the groups. However, at 12 months, the difference in %PYY increment at 90 minutes post meal was significant between groups (mean: Q1, Q3), medical managed dieting (32.9: 13, 53), banding (42.8: -11, 96), sleeve (138.4: 86, 191) ANOVA, F=7.7, p<0.002. GLP-1 response was not significantly altered.
Percentage adiponectin increase between 0 and 12 months was significantly different between groups: medical managed dieting (4.3: -9, 17), banding (24.7: -4, 53), sleeve (70.3: 37, 103), ANOVA, F=7.7, p<0.002 and negatively correlated with % fat loss (r= -0.37) p< 0.04.

This is important!
This is important!
A doctor I believe in and listen to has told me that when our bellies grow fat, our brains grow small. Apply that to our history.
A bunch of skinny kids grew up and were educated during the greatest depression in the 1930s. In those days there were no fat people. I remember only one in the whole high school population. That skinny bunch went on to win the greatest war, put together the greatest industrial economy and make this the greatest of nations. We can do it again. How?
We can make another skinny generation by taking the fat out of their diet. We will teach that generation international helpfulness, helping others who need it wherever they are. This will produce our greatness and help spread peace rather than war among nations. Free enterprise will help us as well as those being helped.

sneak peek: christie chase's loft
chances are you probably remember christie chase's first sneak peek on d*s. i emailed her a few months ago after a friend of mine had written to tell me she saw the sneak peek inspired feature in the houston chronicle, at which time christie wrote back to me telling me about a loft space she was working on. ok, i'm thinking, a small little loft. turns out this dilapidated garage that was about to cave in just needed a new support stucture and a little TLC! it seriously looks like a million dollar space, but christie and tyler did most of the work themselves. christie even notes that in the current economy she got extra creative with lots of DIY efforts (noted here in the flickr set, along with many more amazing images of this space). the space is totally perfect for the art and sewing studio, media area and guest room. i don't know about you, but i'm ready to move in! thanks so much, christy! ( and don't forget to visit her etsy shop here). –anne
[above: Guest room. This guest room is small and very open to the rest of the space, so to keep the bed as tucked inside its space as possible, I painted a headboard on the wall and used nickel plated upholstery tacks to give it some detail. There was no room for bedside tables, so old metal window boxes with white holiday string lights inside serve as a small table for guests and light the space. These former end tables serve as a bench and storage at the end of the guest bed. I refinished the drawer fronts in the same stain as the floor, and painted the cabinets similar to the dresser in my studio space.]
Screening space. The mid-section of the room faces a blank wall, which Tyler's projector TV shows on.
A freshly painted vintage file cabinet got little caster feet, and holds a molded plastic fern leaf pattern tray, my Diana camera, a Carl Zeiss field camera that my Opa brought from Germany in the 1950's, and an ilee papergoods 2009 silkscreen desk calendar. I made the small sillouettes of my pets hanging above from instructions I found on Design Sponge in the DIY section
CLICK HERE for the rest of Christie's loft tour after the jump!
This is my studio space for art and sewing. We built the work table from a sheet of plywood, 4×4's and casters.
Since my iron is out all the time, I took off the criss-cross legs and made it a more functional base. A discarded coffee table from my parents, some paint and some plumbing pipe and viola! … This floor to ceiling built-in storage holds all of my fabric and art supplies. The ladder was the original attic ladder inside our 1919 bungalow. We had to replace the attic ladder in the house, as it did not meet code, but were able to repurpose it for my studio. We had to cut the ladder down, paint it, add wheels to the bottom and install hooks on the top to keep it on the plumbing pipe rail that it slides along.

Hamilton the Exhibit is now open at Northerly Island. For questions and to learn more about it, go here.
Northerly Island is a 119.70-acre peninsula that juts into Lake Michigan at the heart of the Museum Campus. It is located just south of the Adler Planetarium and east of Soldier Field. The majority of this space is dedicated to nature! The nature area at Northerly Island features beautiful strolling paths, casual play areas and a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline. It is also home to some of the best fishing in Chicago.
During the winter and early spring (November - April), the Northerly Island fieldhouse is open on Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 am to 4 pm. The rest of the year, the fieldhouse is open daily, from 10 am to 4 pm. It is closed during Bears' home games and permitted special events. When the fieldhouse is open, staff is available to answer questions about the island and provide information on a discovery tour.
The Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island is located at the northern end of the island. The 2013 season brought a variety of improvements and expansions to this popular lakefront facility, including an upgraded stage, expanded state-of-the-art sound and lights, new seating and more grassy space throughout the venue. The newly redeveloped lawn now allows for flexible capacity up to 30,000 patrons while still offering sweeping panoramic views of Chicago's lakefront. Since its opening night featuring Earth, Wind and Fire in 2007, the pavilion has brought a wealth of talent to the beautiful park-like setting of Northerly Island. Check out the current schedule and purchase tickets now.
Chicago's famous architect and planner Daniel H. Burnham imagined Northerly Island as one of the northernmost points in a series of manmade islands stretching between Grant and Jackson Parks. His vision for this park included lagoons, harbors, beaches, recreation areas, a scenic drive and grand stretches of green space that would provide breathtaking views of the lake and City skyline. Northerly Island and Burnham Park were selected as the site of Chicago's second World's Fair entitled A Century of Progress, 1933-34, and by the early 1930s, Northerly Island had been increased to its present size. In 1938, the Chicago Park District removed the bridge leading to Northerly Island and built a causeway connecting the island to Burnham Park. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Northerly Island featured paths and walkways, scattered trees and grass, a parking lot and the 12th Street Beach. In 1947, a small airport known as Meigs Field opened under the Exposition Authority Act. Operations at Meigs expanded with the building of an air control tower in 1952. The 50-year lease granted by the park district for Meigs Field expired on September 30, 1996. The City, Park District, and numerous civic organizations agreed that the airport should revert to parkland. Today, Daniel Burnham's vision is now a reality. With wild prairie grasses taking root, beautiful strolling paths, casual play areas, and a spectacular view of the City skyline, we invite you to come out and enjoy the emerging world of Northerly Island.
Metered parking is available in the lot on site. Get rates and additional information.

Debt collection in Europe is different than the United States. Both the success rates and the average collected amounts are higher in Europe. Furthermore, it is common in Europe for attorneys to collect your debt prior to going to court. Bierens has a team of international in-house attorneys from over 20 different countries, who are specialized in collecting small or large past due accounts receivable in Europe. Under one roof, Bierens can provide fast and successful results anywhere in Europe.
Suggestions when your French customer is not paying
- The sooner you act, the more serious the debtor will take you;
- A reminder by telephone is often more effective than a written reminder;
- Does your reminder by telephone not have any effect? Then send a formal demand letter;
- A demand letter can be sent by regular or registered post;
More suggestions
- A reminder to a French debtor should usually include:
- A demand to effect payment;
- A time period for payment;
- The obligations of the debtor;
- A warning about the legal consequences of failing to pay.
- The period of payment is usually 7 days in France;
- Add a specification of the claim to your reminder;
- Announce in the reminder that if your customer does not pay, the claim will be handed over for collection at the customer's expense;
- The French are easily impressed by a lawyer who demands payment from them.
Our French Lawyers Are Familiar with Local Legislation
Our French debt recovery lawyers have considerable experience and knowledge of French legislation and regulations. In addition, they are fully aware of commercial traditions and culture in France. That makes it easier for us to get your French debtor to pay quickly.
Debt Recovery in the French Language
Our lawyers speak both your language and French, which allows them to overcome language barriers with ease.
Customised Debt Recovery
Our commercial debt recovery approach is customised to each unique case, and we provide you with tailor-made advice.
Straightforward Advice
We will always give our honest advice on the chances of success in your debt recovery matter. Putting your interests first is important to us; we endeavour to provide you with your options, as well as our advice on the best route to take. It's easy to see how we put our core values of integrity and justice into practice.
The Debt Collection Process in France
The debt collection process in France can be divided into two stages. During the extrajudicial phase, collection takes place without Court intervention. During the judicial phase, we involve the Court in order to make your France debtor pay. Because we are a law firm, we can assist you during both stages. In France, most matters are resolved during the extrajudicial phase, without Court intervention.
1. Extrajudicial Debt Collection
- Written demand letters and phone calls: We send the debtor a written demand letter and contact them by telephone, requesting that they pay your claim within a few days, together with interest and costs;
- Announcing legal proceedings: the French are often very impressed when contacted by a lawyer. Announcing legal proceedings is often sufficient to make the French debtor pay;
- Effect a settlement: the French Court requires that you try to settle the matter with your debtor, prior to starting legal proceedings. So in most matters, we will try to effect a settlement with your customer prior to involving the Court;
- Involve a bailiff: a French bailiff will visit your debtor with a comprehensive demand letter in which the debtor is requested to pay your invoice immediately. In addition, the bailiff will investigate why the debtor has remained in default, as well as the existence of any potential other creditors;
- Prejudgment charge: it is possible to register a prejudgment charge on the debtor's assets with permission of the Court. This means that the debtor's assets are frozen the moment the prejudgment charge takes place. The debtor can no longer access his assets; these are "frozen" until the Court makes a final decision. As it often takes a long time for the Court to reach its decision, the prejudgment charge is a good way to guarantee that the debtor will not dispose of their assets. If you place a prejudgment charge over a debtor's assets, you are obliged as a creditor to start formal legal proceedings within 30 days. Otherwise, the prejudgment charge will expire.
2. Judicial Debt Collection
- Order for payment proceedings ("Injonction de payer"): If your claim is undisputed (that is to say, there is no disagreement about the invoice), our lawyers in France can commence an "injonction de payer". The order for payment proceedings are a relatively cheap and fast way to get your invoices paid. The French lawyer will request that the Court makes the debtor pay immediately. If the debtor registers an objection with the bailiff, then more extensive proceedings will be started;
- Summary proceedings ("Procédure de référé"): If the debtor indicates that they disagree with the invoice, the claim is disputed. In a disputed or larger claim, where the debtor cannot provide strong arguments, we advise to commence a "procédure de référé". In these proceedings, your French lawyer will present your debtor with arguments as to why they should effect payment. This takes place through a bailiff. If the debtor indicates that they have made a mistake or if they are unable to counter these arguments properly, the Court will be able to make a quick decision. The judge can make a summary decision without a hearing. However, if the court decides that there is a substantive dispute, then ordinary civil proceedings will be commenced;
- Ordinary civil proceedings ("Procédure au fond"): In case of more complex matters, a "procédure au fond" is required. In such proceedings, it is important to keep the pace as high as possible. The creditor is not required to attend the hearing at the French Court. The entire proceedings can conducted by the lawyer on the creditor's behalf;
- Bounced cheque: In the event of a bounced cheque, the bailiff can draft an enforceable title. The lawyer can immediately enforce this against the debtor;
European Order for Payment proceedings:
- In the event of an undisputed claim between two parties based in EU Member States (except Denmark), it is possible to commence European Order for Payment proceedings. The lawyer handling your case can assess whether this kind of procedure is suitable in your case.
- For European Order for Payment proceedings, the creditor usually completes a standard form and submits this to the Court. The Court then issues a European Order for Payment. The debtor then has 30 days to state whether they object to the claim. If there is no response within the 30-day period, you may ask the Court to make the order for payment final (called a "declaration of enforceability"). This is a valid and enforceable judgment which is accepted in any Member State (except Denmark). The European Order for Payment is never appropriate for disputed matters (so not in cases where there is an argument about the invoice). The advantage of this procedure are speed and low costs (some Member States don't even charge a court fee), but the disadvantage is that if it becomes disputed, the procedure comes to an end and an ordinary civil procedure will have to be started if the creditor wants to continue.

The perfect balance of easy maintenance, even heat, long burns and distinctive features place Harman wood pellet stoves in a league of their own. We stand by those promises, making quality a top priority and going the extra mile to make sure your home is warm for years to come.
Colin recently wrote us to share his experience with Harman heat. What he found out was that Harman Stoves not only sells superior heating appliances, but that we are here to help once they've left the showroom and entered your home as well.
Read what Colin had to say about his Accentra pellet stove.
To whom it may concern,
I traditionally do not write these letters, but sitting here on a cold March morning, watching my Harman Accentra fire up, I am reminded of the 10 years this stove has heated the 2 floors of my house. It has done so reliably and effectively, therefore I would like to share my satisfaction with your product.
While I did have an issue within the first few years of buying the stove (just within the factory warranty), Harman corrected the issue by replacing the stove, at no cost to me. Not only that, you needed to arrange another of your dealers, as the one I bought from was no longer in business. I believe a company doesn't need to only have a quality product; but also needs to take care of their customers after the sale, you did so.
Know that my next stove will be a Harman. Keep up the quality and customer service and feel free to share this letter.

S: A Good Life
FC: of change | A Good Life BY Connor Walsh CW Publishing inc.
1: A Year in Review | In a far away village beyond the horizon was a lonely house. Three very angry people lived in it: the Butler, father, and Haddix all in a single house together. Haddix was about 5 when his mother died at age 36 in a burning building. And ever since they never were happy.
2: fling | Now Haddix is 10 an he got no presents not even a piece of cake. Most kids got presents and a nice card full of good wishes. He got nothing. Everyday at school he had no friends but a little stray cat he found outside. He named him Pippen. He always thought about running away but for he had no money
3: The more you laugh the longer you live | The next morning Father was having a huge fit about the Butler spilling milk for his cereal. He started throwing chairs around and getting even more furious. Haddix came over and tried calming him down but he hit him with one of the chairs, with a cut on his arm he told his Father he will run away and never come back!
4: Spring is Here | But of course his Father didn't listen. As his ordeal was over, his wallet fell out of his pocket and Haddix snatched it before his Father saw it. At about 4:00 in the morning Haddix packed his bag with clothes and a sleeping bag and walked out the front door as quietly as possible, but as he was going the Butler saw him, he had a confused look on his face like where are you going? I said nothing. And I left without a trace.
5: I must have walked for my whole life into the deep dark forest, because I walked until I could no longer hear the freeway. Morning was almost here and I was getting hungry. I brought a survival guide that I got when I was 4. The book told me everything about getting fish. I made a hook out of some bark and some pieces of wood I snapped off of a dead tree.
6: is in the air... | After about an hour or so I had about 3 small trout. The trouts were gone in about 20 minutes and I had to eat them raw because I had no fire. Something inside of me said if I want to survive the Winter I would need to build a fire. Soon I was on my way to the blacksmiths place in town which I new would have some flint and steel to make sparks. I walked in all casual and I said "do you have some flint I could use".
7: The clerk told me everything he new about striking flint and after a while I got the hang of it. But when it was dark out at my little campground I couldn't see 3 ft. ahead of me, I was miserable and I couldn't get a good flame going. Meanwhile at Haddix's house his Father got up and he headed downstairs, but before he could walk down, at the corner of his eye he saw a note saying: "Dearest Father, I am sorry to say that I was never happy living in your household any longer. Thanks for everything!" Signed, your son Haddix
8: The Father felt like he had been so selfish to his son like that. So he and the butler went to search for him, at about 10:00p.m they found him frozen and shivering in his sleeping bag. In the morning he found himself laying in his bed with no trees around him and no bird chirping or anything. Then his Father knocked on his door, he came in and apologized for everything, he even gave him a big hug and said "I love you no matter what"! The rest of the day they played outside and ate lunch listening to Butler tell funny stories about his childhood. One year later Father got married to a nice young women and she was very nice to us. And everyone of us lived happily ever after!!!!!

Top 10 Things To Do in Zagreb
Being that this is the Capital City of Croatia, there are plenty of things to do in Zagreb, but most of them revolve around the deep culture and quiet beauty of this suburban area.
The top 10 things to do in Zagreb include:
1. Spend a few hours at the Museum of Contemporary Art – Dedicated back in 2009, this is a huge, 5,000 square mile museum that includes countless exhibitions, a multi-media room, library, children's workshop and boutique. It's one of the top Zagreb attractions because it was built by Igor Franic, an architect from Croatia who used his inspiration of the other cultural institutions as a framework for this building.
2. Hunt for fresh bargains at Dolac Market – Of all the places to visit in Croatia and specifically, Zagreb, this market is always going to be at the top of the list. It is their primary market and is also a local landmark. All farmers come for miles to sell their goods, which consist of fish, cheese, meats, cream and all types of vegetables and fruits.
3. Spend a day at the spa at the Westin – The Westin is the most polished of all Zagreb hotels and offers world-class service to their guests. They offer both Finnish and Turkish saunas as well as facials, manicures and pedicures.
4. Do what the locals do at the Green Horseshoe – Listen to live music on the weekends played by a marvelous orchestra, dance and admire those in their 19th Century, vintage costumes. Check your Croatia travel guide for performance dates and times.
5. Take in the history of Ulica Ilica – Other things to do in Zagreb entail strolling through this special square with the longest road in town. You can also visit the Oktogon Arcade, which is another landmark.
6. Pay homage to the Virgin at the Stone Gate – One of the more religious things to do in Zagreb is to visit the Stone Gate and stand in awe of the donors who have placed numbers of plaques in stone.
7. See the famous sarcophagus at Cathedral and Cardinal Stepinac – In the past, when Croatia paid their allegiance to Yugoslavia, the original cathedral was built. Today, the nationalist state of Croatia has rebuilt their independence and cathedral. This is where Cardinal Aloysius Stepinac remains.
8. See over 10,000 botanical wonders at the Botanical Gardens – This has been around since 1189 and holds the largest number of plants and flowers in the entire area. It is uniquely different and is a great place to rest and relax.
9. Have a drink of Velebitsko – This German beer brewer set up shop in Croatia during 1997 and has such a following that locals will come for miles just for a sip. It is the only microbrewery that serves Velebitsko exclusively.
10. Meet the 300,000 fallen – A trip to Mirogoj will bring you face-to-face with 300,000 religious souls of various backgrounds. It is an architectural wonder as your eyes traces ivy-covered walls and monuments galore, including Stjepan Radic, a famous politician murdered in 1928.

Good evening readers! I have been reading things on the internet for the last half hour or so, and came across this article I really had to share with you.
Some of you may have heard recently that Starbucks is coming out with a new size of cup called the Trenta. This cup is around 32oz and will start rolling out on Feb. 1st in select markets.
After I read about this, I posed the question to myself.. Is Starbucks a Christian company? I really wasn't able to find anything, but I did find the following article that I would like to share.
Should churches be more like Starbucks?
My local Starbucks—and probably yours too—has a large sign on each door that proclaims, "Take comfort in rituals." When I'm being cynical, I read it as a multinational company preying on our cultural longing for meaning by suggesting we can buy happiness with a $4 cup of coffee.
But when you know at least six local Starbucks employees, it's harder to be cynical once you're through the door, especially when they greet you by name, ask how your day is going and even give you free drinks from time to time just because. . .well, just because. As Beau Weston observes, these Starbucks employees are at least acquaintances if not on the way to being friends.
So maybe we in the church could move on from our cynical first reactions and take Starbucks's advice and run with it.
Starbucks seeks to be a welcoming place where community can thrive. A Friday business meeting or sermon-writing time can be especially enjoyable at a coffee shop. Book groups meet at our local coffee shop, as does a knitting group, bicycle club and countless university study groups.
There are plenty of rituals in our congregations too, but many of them fail to welcome as well as some coffee shops. Do our churches judge visitors before they walk in the door? Do our congregations offer rituals that feed and connect to the present day or ones that merely echo past significance?
Are we seeking to make new rituals in our sacred places of worship, welcoming folks by name, hosting groups, sharing free meals? Or are we selling God short?
What are you thoughts? What would happen if our church would get more connected with the people who attend there?
Until next time readers, God Bless!

Hi Everyone!
We are meeting after a long time. Here I am with new trick which seems crazy but is true.
Basically, you can send any number of messages , any messages , any number of times or after a period of time using script. I have written a basic code in python3 to make it happen. You would require WhatsApp Web. But, as you know you have to connect once by scanning QR code.
Code is on my GitHub repository.
Here are the steps:
- Install selenium module and chrome driver. Open the above link for explanation.
- Run the code
- Enter the details asked
- A chromium window will open with WhatsApp Web.
- Scan QR code from phone and enjoy!!
I hope to bring many more tricks

Regardless of a person's age or health, losing a loved one is a devastatingly painful experience and depending on how close an individual was to the deceased, the grieving process can take a long time. However, with adequate support, overcoming a loss can be much less overwhelming. Still there are specific phases that a person endures. Although everyone grieves in his own way, being able to identify the stages of grief can enable close friends and family members to better understand the thoughts, feelings and actions of the person who is grieving.
Initially, individuals will try to convince themselves that their beloved is not actually gone. This is a coping mechanism that kicks in because the pain of the reality is too intense to deal with head on. During the denial stage, individuals can gradually come to accept the reality of the loss. However, once reality fully sets in, so does the next stage of grief.
This is the point when most people look for fault. There must be someone to blame; something so unbearable must have some reason. Some individuals may even blame the deceased; how could someone he loved so much abandon him? But when it becomes clear that there is no one to blame and the anger is unwarranted, there is a transition to the third phase.
It is at this juncture when a person may begin to beg and plead with God; if he will just let this all be a bad dream, the individual will devote the rest of his days to helping feed the hungry or he will give a portion of his paycheck to a charity every week. In attempts to return to life as he knew it, an individual will try to negotiate or look for a way to escape. However, these attempts are futile and thus a dark cloud ascends over his world.
After efforts to wish and hope for this to somehow not be real are thwarted, a deep sadness envelopes every fiber of his being. He no longer tries to blame or negotiate, he simply lives with the emptiness and withdraws from everyone and everything. He may even wonder is there is any reason to go on. Without this person who was so important, continuing to live may seem pointless. Still, with time it becomes easier to function. Each day becomes less of an uphill struggle. Until one day it seems that there is a new normal.
Acceptance does not mean that the individual has forgotten his loved one, nor does it mean that he is okay with the loss. This merely means that he is finally able to come to terms with it. This is the crossroad when he realizes that his loved one is gone and will not be returning. At this point, he acknowledges the situation and begins to adjust to his new reality. He can finally let go of the guilt and understand that by going on, he is not betraying his loved one. He is, in fact, honoring them. As difficult as it may seem, loved ones want friends and family to live and be happy. Therefore, living a full life can serve as the ultimate tribute.

SEOUL, June 30 (UPI) -- A recent hacking attack on a South Korean presidential website resulted in information for about 100,000 people being leaked, officials said Sunday.
The information that was accessed included names, birth dates, identification numbers and addresses and Internet protocol addresses, Yonhap News Agency reported.
Users' passwords and registration numbers, the South Korean equivalent to a U.S. Social Security number, were not leaked, a presidential official, whose name was not reported, said.
Victims of the hacking can seek compensation, the official said.
Anonymous, a loosely associated network of hackers, has taken responsibility for the attack, which targeted a website for the presidential office, as well as another government agency and several media organizations on Tuesday.
Several North Korean websites were voluntarily taken offline on Tuesday after Anonymous warned of cyber attacks on the communist country.

Have you lost your confidence? Attempted and failed at a goal such as weight loss, tried to stop smoking and it didn't work? Are you unhappy with your job and have low self-esteem? What would it look and feel like to finally accomplish your goals, the sense of pride and satisfaction of knowing you are in CONTROL of your life? Your mind does what you tell it to do, and when you start telling your mind of all the good things you want in life, you're going to have an amazing extraordinary life. Our minds have one job, to make sure we live a long life, and the only way your mind can live a long life is looking for what causes you pain. If you eat something that makes you sick, you never eat it again, or you sprain your foot playing tennis, now, you're more careful about moving and running. Our mind is constantly trying to avoid pain and keep you alive, happy and safe. The subconscious mind is who you really are..all your experiences, it is your personality, and it is where permanent memory is kept, and every thought you think has a physical reaction to the body. Your mind does exactly what you want it to do, and when you say negative things about yourself, like, "I don't like my body", "I hate my wrinkles", or "I hate my big thighs", "I'm dying to meet him/her", your whole body weakens, and when all your mind hears is hate, dying, hurts, your mind listens to your language, and if it hears sick, dying, hate, your mind is saying no!! I'm going to have to change this, because your mind's job is to keep you healthy. Also, when you say negative words or thoughts, your body weakens. When you change your negative beliefs and self-talk, into positives, you will overcome health issues, enhance your memory, increase your confidence, look younger, raise your self-esteem, and live a happier life.

Before I get too bogged down, I have to congratulate Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal for an unbelievable display of heart during one of the greatest matches and major finals of all time. Even nearing the six hour mark, the two played breathtaking tennis from start to finish, in fact they probably played even better at the end.
And while all those records are great, the Nadal-Djokovic match-up is becoming supremely interesting from a tactical and strategic standpoint. From the very beginning, you could tell the two were playing a chess match. Nadal came out with a new strategy to disrupt the wrecking machine that Djokovic has become and it paid dividends throughout the first set and particularly towards the end of the match, as well. One of the most significant things Nadal came out with was the body serve. First of all, I never understood why more players don't do this. It's unbelievably effective because it is almost always going to be difficult to return and since no one ever hits it, it's always going to come as a surprise. When you consider that Djokovic is the best returner in the game (and possibly of all time) and you see how he struggled to get that serve back in play, I really hope more players employ this tactic in the future. Not just against Djokovic but in general.
Another shot Nadal employed was the down-the-line backhand. While not as much of a killer shot the way Djokovic's is, this shot proved to be extremely useful for Nadal when he needed to open the court and blast a forehand winner. I felt that Nadal changed directions on both strokes extremely well throughout the match and that was something we never really saw him do well last year. The ability to change directions easily is a huge part of Djokovic's success throughout his career and while Nadal doesn't do it quite as well, he showed great improvement last night. This was especially evident in the fourth set when Nadal was facing triple break point. It can be said that Djokovic wasted some ample opportunities to win the fourth set, but I don't consider this one of them. Nadal simply played five unbelievable points, one of which included a backhand down-the-line winner.
Despite executing some new tactics to great effect, Nadal still lost the match. One of the reasons for this is because of his inability to execute his game plan during the second and third sets. The first and fourth sets showed a different dynamic in the match up. But the middle two sets were extremely familiar. Nadal played too defensively and Djokovic plowed right through him. Of course this had a lot to do with Djokovic, as well. Nadal was hitting his forehand unbelievably well throughout the match and it seemed like Djokovic played into it too often in the first set. By the middle of the fourth, Nadal didn't even look like he had a forehand. Djokovic kept him pinned to the backhand corner and it paid off. It was also interesting to note how much Nadal was slicing. I think he may have taken this play from Andy Murray and Roger Federer who have great success against Djokovic with the slice, but Nadal's slice sits up too much and I was surprised that he resorted to it so often. Especially because he was hitting his backhand extremely well, better than he has since probably the 2010 US Open.
After over four and a half hours of play when the two were entering the fifth set, it seemed like they were at a stale mate. Neither player brought anything new into the fifth set, as there was nothing new to bring. It became a battle of the heart and fitness, and what a fantastic battle it was. Djokovic looked out of gas for the first half of the set until Nadal blinked serving 4-2 30-15 by missing an easy backhand pass. Djokovic got his 16th wind and eventually grinded Nadal down before closing it out.
In his post match presser, Nadal said, " I didn't have mental problems today against him. I had in 2011 all these mental problems. Today I didn't have. I compete with normal conditions against him, no?"
Maybe not to the extent of last year, but I don't fully agree with Nadal on this one. Against anyone else, he makes that backhand. Against anyone else, he doesn't fall to his knees after winning the fourth set. This one meant a lot to Nadal and he showed it. But somehow Djokovic thwarted him again. And while Nadal certainly has to be proud of how he fought, there is still the issue that Djokovic could have won the match sooner. It seemed like Nadal was well on his way to the title in that fifth set but I think Nadal still played hopeful tennis, as in, he was hoping to win rather than believing he could actually do it.
I don't expect Nadal to go away, but one has to wonder if he'll ever even get to a match point against the Serb again.
One final thought, Nadal has reached four straight major finals, regardless of the last three losses, this is an unbelievable accomplishment. And there's good reason to believe he'll be in his fifth final in a few months. As for Djokovic, well, it looks like he's as unbeatable as ever, if not more so.
