It is important that at all times rent is paid and where it is not, it is a breach of the tenancy agreement.
Rent arrears within the first 6 months
If a tenant is in the dwelling for less than 6 months, a landlord can serve a 28 day Notice of Termination without giving any reason (if there is no lease agreement in place). If a landlord decides to give a reason of rent arrears then the process set out below must be followed.
Rent arrears in a tenancy that has lasted longer than 6 months (or a Part 4 tenancy)
If a landlord wants to end a tenancy because of rent arrears and the tenant has been renting the property for more than 6 months then a two step procedure must be followed:
- Serve a 14 Day Warning Notice for failure to pay rent: Where a tenant falls into rent arrears the landlord must write to the tenant serving a minimum of 14 days Warning Notice for failure to pay rent. This notice must state how much rent is due, give the tenant reasonable time to pay it, and outline what will happen if they don't pay. Please note the law requires that a tenant is given a reasonable time to remedy a breach. This can be different from case to case, but should be at least of a minimum 14 days.
- Serve a 28-day Notice of Termination of the tenancy. If the tenant fails to pay the rent due in the time period given in the warning notice, the landlord can end the tenancy by serving a 28 day a notice of termination.
Notice periods
It is important that correct notice periods are given. The first day of a notice period is the day after the notice is served. Therefore if the notice is served on a Monday the period of notice commences from the Tuesday. The notice periods required depend on the length of the tenancy and the reason for issuing the notice in some circumstance. Whilst not a specific requirement under the legislation, it may be prudent to give an additional couple of days notice to ensure that the tenant receives the required notice period. See our Sample Notices of Termination page.
Submitting a rent arrears case when the tenant has vacated
You can pursue a case against a tenant who has vacated by submitting a dispute resolution application. If you are not in possession of a current address for the tenant, please provide a PPS number for the tenant when submitting your application. The RTB will make every effort to source a current contact address for the tenant by searching our own registration database, and other government approved databases but please be aware that if a tenant has moved to a new location it may take a number of weeks before the new address is updated on the data base.
Dispute cases
The RTB prioritise cases where there are rent arrears. A landlord can submit a dispute application to the RTB for rent arrears. The landlord can also serve a notice of termination for breach of tenants responsibilities.
A tenant must continue to pay their rent in full until the tenancy ends and while any disputes are ongoing. Where a dispute has arisen between a tenant and landlord and it has failed to be resolved, a dispute can be referred to the RTB. If a tenant has withheld payment of rent in this instance, they should recommence paying rent and wait for the dispute to be heard.
If the tenant is in receipt of Rent Supplement and is not paying rent then the Community Welfare Service for the area should be contacted to have the supplement suspended until the case is heard.

January 21, 2013 is going to be remembered for three historical events. Barack Obamas taking oath on Rev. Martin Luther Kings copy of the Bible, federal celebration of Kings birthday and a new Jewish prayer in honor of Dr. King. The prayer was distributed nationwide to synagogues representing all major Jewish denomination by the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding. The prayer goes as follows:
Heavenly God, who desires us to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with You, we thank You for inspiring us with the life and example of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Jewish Labor Committee (JLC), reminded American Jewish community that late Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., was not only a great supporter of Israel but he never equated Zionism to racism. An opinion two famous African leaders, Bishop Desmond Tutu (South Africa) and Louis Farrakhan (USA).
Comrade Stuart Appelbaum in an article published in Jewish Journal on January 18, 2013, said: Dr. King spoke and wrote often about Israel. But toward the end of his life, Dr. King was particularly concerned was with the growing mischaracterization of Zionism as racism (apartheid).
Stuart Appelbaum made the above deduction from a letter Dr. King wrote on September 29, 1967, to then president of JLC, Adolph Held.
Its also reported that in 1963, Dr. King in his address at the Conference on the Status of Jews in Soviet Jews, said: I cannot stand idly by, even though I live in the United States, and even though I happen to be an American Negro, and not be concerned about what happens to my brothers and sisters who happens to be Jews in Soviet Russia, (reported by ADL website).
How true are these quotes - can be judged by Kings another famous pro-Zionisn document, Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend, which according to Tim Wise, an anti-racism Jew was a hoax and distortion of Dr. King statement. Tim Wise claims that Dr. King never said that criticism of Zionism is tentamount to antisemitism, and likens those who criticise Jewish nationalim as manifested in Israel, to those who trample the rights of Black. Wise called Zionists claim,as Heady stuff, and 100 percent bullshit.
Dr. Kings association with some Zionist Jews go back to January 1957 when Dr. King and some some Christian leaders behind the Montgomery Bus Boycott assembled in Atlanta, Georgia and established the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). One of the co-founder of the SCLC was White Jewish radical Stanely Levison. He was an official of pro-Israel American Jewish Congress (AJC) and lead a campaign in support of Jewish couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed for treason against United states in 1953.
Jonathan Kaufman, a Zionist Jewish Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Boston Globe and author in his 1988 book, Broken Alliance, wrote: Three-quarters of the funding for Martin Luther Kings Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC); of SNCC, the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee; and the Freedom Rides of James Farmer and CORE (the Congress of Radical Equality), came from Jewish sources. But then, Kaufman admitted the true agenda behind the Jewish support. The Jewish struggle for equality and fair treatment was linked to the struggles of Blacks for a greater opportunity. It was not a struggle of equals; Jews did not consider their plight equal to that of Blacks. But they recognized in Black struggle for civil rights elements that could benefit them and conditions with which they symathized.

(Pocket-lint) - Many have taken note of Amazon's success with the Echo Show. Slapping a screen onto an intelligent smart home speaker has worked rather well all things considered.
Google, for one, is interested in taking on the Alexa-enabled device with Google Assistant alternatives and has partnered with a few manufacturers to do just that.
One of them is Lenovo, which has announced not one but two Google Assistant-enabled variants with touchscreens. The Lenovo Smart Display will be available with either an 8-inch HD touchscreen or Full HD 10.1-incher and each presents an interesting rival to the Amazon mainstay.
Both Smart Display models are driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 624 processor and 2GB of RAM.
They are similar in design, although the smaller of the two comes with a grey backpanel and has a pixel resolution of 1280 x 800. The larger model has a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and comes with a bamboo style backing.
Both models have 5-megapixel (720p) cameras mounted on the front, for video calling and the like, while the 10.1-inch device has a 2-inch 10W full range speaker with dual passive radiator. The 8-inch version comes with a 1.75-inch 10W equivalent.
Dual microphone arrays ensure that, when you say "Hey Google" either device should hear you clearly no matter where it is placed.
Bluetooth and dual-band Wi-Fi is present on both.
The 8-inch Lenovo Smart Display will cost $199.99 (£147), while the 10-inch model will set you back $50 more for the extra real estate. Both will be available from July this year.

Litle & Co. Adds Advanced Fraud Detection Capabilities Powered by ThreatMetrix
Posted February 10, 2014
Cincinnati, Ohio, – February 10, 2014 – Vantiv, Inc. (NYSE: VNTV), announced today that its subsidiary Litle & Co., a leading ecommerce payment processor, has signed an agreement with ThreatMetrix™, the fastest-growing provider of integrated cybercrime prevention solutions, to incorporate ThreatMetrix's Payment Fraud solution into Litle's Fraud Toolkit.
With the addition of ThreatMetrix, Litle now offers merchants ever more advanced tools – including device fingerprinting, IP geolocation, proxy and VPN detection, and reputation scoring – for detecting and preventing sophisticated, emerging fraud attacks. Litle's advanced fraud tools, powered by ThreatMetrix, can help merchants mitigate fraud in card-not-present (CNP) commerce and reduce the impact from fraud, which resulted in an estimated $3.5B in costs and losses to North American CNP merchants in 2012 (CyberSource, 2013 Online Fraud Report).
"We're committed to providing our clients with the latest tools needed to execute a comprehensive fraud strategy," said Bill Weingart, chief product officer at Vantiv. "That's why we enhanced our Fraud Toolkit with ThreatMetrix. Their continuing investment in product innovation and data infrastructure ensures that Litle and its clients can count on protection not only from today's threats, but also those that will emerge in the future."
ThreatMetrix correlates a visitor's online behaviors and association through the rich data and advanced analytics in the ThreatMetrix™ Global Trust Intelligence Network (The Network). The Network is the only global data repository that provides insight into positive and negative behavior, and threat intelligence, for both online personas and devices using trust-based authentication. The platform enables businesses to analyze the digital personas of website visitors, including their previous online behaviors and transactions, before authorizing an online transaction. By doing so, ThreatMetrix further helps businesses reduce friction for legitimate, returning online customers while stopping cybercriminals from coming through businesses' front doors.
"We are pleased that Litle chose to partner with ThreatMetrix in our continuing efforts to protect merchants against payment fraud," said Bert Rankin, chief marketing officer at ThreatMetrix. "The dynamic and persistent nature of fraud, particularly in the CNP marketplace, makes agility and innovation imperative to its prevention. These shared values form the foundation of both of our companies' cultures, and we are very excited about this partnership."

Arguments supporting privatization include the belief that privatization leads to increased competition and therefore lower prices and better service. It is uncertain how much local competition would exist for a privatized Metro airport. Currently, Detroit City Airport (reopened to commercial air service on July 6, 1988) and Windsor Airport are the only other area airports offering commercial air service and both offer a small fraction of service available at Metro. Both lack sufficient terminal and runway space to accommodate a large increase in traffic. Their locations also preclude significant expansion.
Other airports could be built to offer competition. Selfridge Air National Guard Base could be converted to commercial operation. Additionally, Oakland-Pontiac Airport has an excellent location for commercial service to compete with Metro, although its general aviation traffic of 380,000 annual movements makes it one of the busiest airports in the U.S. and unlikely to accommodate significant commercial passenger traffic. [31]
Prior to the construction of Metro, Willow Run Airport was the primary commercial airport in the Detroit area. Currently, there are no passenger facilities at Willow Run which is a busy cargo airport. Since it was a passenger airport (primarily before the jet era), it is possible commercial passenger service could be added. But facility limitations and distance from Detroit make it an unlikely competitor for all of Metro's service.
However, even with limited service at other local airports, an effective element of competition does exist. Flights leaving Detroit City Airport, for example, go to other major hubs in Chicago, St. Louis and Nashville. At these hubs, like Metro, passengers may connect to many other cities. An over-priced, inefficient hub could be bypassed by passengers departing from Detroit or connecting through Detroit.
If Metro were privatized, it is conceivable the owner of the airport would be compelled to establish landing fees comparable to other hubs. If landing fees were not competitive, and the existing contracts requiring airport revenue to equal airport costs had been nullified, the airlines would have greater opportunity to enter and exit the market.
Airlines would be able to reduce operations at Metro, resulting in an unprofitable operation at the airport for its operator. To the extent that there is an elasticity of demand for airline service at Metro, higher landing fees charged could result in a loss of supply and therefore revenue for the airport operator. Therefore, the airport would need to keep reasonable fees to maintain its hub status.

Hopping on the Social Media Marketing bandwagon? You're not alone. Seems user-generated content and social media marketing are becoming as ubiquitous as the tacky inflatable snowmen with which my neighbors continue to pollute their yards.
The trick, my little sugarplums, isn't to simply embrace the trend… but to master it.
Or in your case, not to make an ass of yourself the first time out of the gate! [sigh]
Lucky for you, I'm feeling rather generous today! And so, The Genius shall share her personal list of Social Media "Do's and Don't's"—with the full knowledge that you'll probably screw your program up anyway.
[sigh] It isn't easy being so brilliant and flawless. But it's my cross to bear.
Social Media Marketing "DO's":
1. For crap's sake, please DO establish clear business objectives for your social media marketing efforts—before you even think about launching a campaign of any kind.
Seriously: If I see one more blog, podcast, or pointless viral marketing campaign launch with no clear strategy other than to satisfy the overgrown ego of some bonehead executive [who got their MBA when dinosaurs still roamed the earth]… well, I just might barf!
2. DO establish your metrics—yes, before you launch.
You can't manage what you can't measure, right, people? It's Marketing 101.
Social media is no exception to this rule.
Now, I know that "goals" and "metrics" seem tedious and about as sexy as plumber's crack, but trust me: it's your only hope of having something more meaningful to say the next time your boss asks how the social media campaign is doing than, "Uh…"
[Side note: Why is it that so many businesses treat their marketing strategy like a leisurely drive through the country?
"No, we don't have a map or specific destination in mind… but we'll know we're good when we get there…. Oh wait… I think we're lost… and we're running out of gas! Shit… I told you we should have asked for directions!!!!"
Don't be stupid. And don't be a wimp. ROI isn't the only meaningful business metric, so don't become a slave to it. Consider what's most relevant, metric-wise to your company's business objectives. For a cheat sheet on some of the best metrics for SMM, check this out.
3. DO your homework. (And I don't mean "Do do your homework", because that would be very messy.)
Social media isn't rocket science, but it's not your run-of-the-mill tool for broadcasting product features and benefits either. You've taken a great first step by reading this blog post; now go read a few others. This basic primer by one of my favorite marketing bloggers, CK, is another great place to start. If all else fails, I'm sure there's a copy of Social Media for Dummies out there somewhere just waiting for a home.
Side note: If you're a control-freak and can't get jiggy with the idea of your marketing messages becoming a two-way communication, perhaps you'd be better off investing your correspondence-course education on something more suitable—like annoying pop-up ads or a nice, cheesy infomercial.
3. DO get to know the community before you ask something of them.
Like it or not, the same rules apply here as in the larger game of life, only amplified. Read: you can't show up to a new school/office/neighborhood and immediately ask people for stuff. You've got to give a little first. Get to know them. Maybe even let them get to know you.
To do this well, you'll need to a) actually spend some time observing and [gasp!] interacting with the communities that are relevant to your market segment(s).
I.e., What conversations are taking place? And who is shaping/influencing those conversations (and how)?
I know it may sound creepy, but you've got to do a little lurking before you barge in with your brilliant addition to the conversation. Get to know the topics, the people, and the tone of the dialogue. Remember the key word here is "ENGAGEMENT"—not broadcasting.
4. DO take an integrated approach to your social media efforts—particularly with respect to SEO.
Yes, yes, I know I've been bashing SEO since before the dawn of man… but the truth is, an integrated approach to search and social media makes a lot more sense than throwing either one under a bus. Social media marketing (and blogging in particular) can have a dramatic impact on organic search—assuming, of course, that you're clever enough to pepper your blog with relevant keywords and phrases, and to keep the content fresh and the incoming links/comments/trackbacks a-flowing.
5. DO start small and "fail fast".
The skeptics who poo-poo social media as an effective marketing tool do so because, well… the vast majority of social media campaigns are pretty big failures. After all, there's a learning curve. Plus… few of the folks that have come before you were blessed with the marvelous wisdom I've bestowed on you here!
The question is, will you follow in their mediocre footsteps? Or blow them away with your strategic, iterative, and flexible approach that treads carefully [and cheaply] into new territory, all the while honing your strategy on-the-fly.
Ooh, that's so Web 2.0!
Tune in next week for "Part 2: The DONTs."

The sun did shine for a short time this weekend. It was late afternoon, so it slanted in the window as it does during the early part of the winter at about 3 pm. These photos have shadows which enhance the bright color and gold shimmer of the cap.
I took quite a few more under a strong light against a flat white background; these look more like museum shots. Lastly, there is a video – made with my iPad so it isn't the very highest quality. It does, however, show you the piece in the round.
Before you zip down the page, I want to say thank you to all of you who sent encouraging words, upbeat comments, sympathetic insights and general support during the past year. You're a great community and, as I've said before, I wish we could all get together and chat as we stitch.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Please click on the photo above to watch the video.
There will be future posts on the specific of putting the hat together, lining it and even making the tassel.
Until then…Liebe Grüße!

What is "Joint and Several Liability" and Why You Need It
Written on September 9, 2013 by Lucas Hall, updated on January 24, 2016
What is "Joint and Several Liability"?
In Basic Language:
For a residential lease, joint and several liability means that each tenant is jointly AND separately responsible for the entire rent amount and for any damages.
According to Nolo, here's what it means for tenants:
- One for all. You can demand the entire rent from just one cotenant. The rent-sharing understanding the tenants have with one another is immaterial to you. In other words, even if one tenant pays $400 for a tiny room and another roommate pays $800 for a master suite, each tenant is still liable for the full $1,200 rent, even if some of the tenants flake out.
- All for one. Even innocent cotenants will suffer the consequences of one cotenant's misdeeds. Unfair as it seems, the crazy party that one roommate threw can result in a termination notice directed to all tenants.
In Legal Terms:
"Joint and several liability" is where two or more persons are liable in respect of the same liability.
Under joint and several liability or all sums, a claimant may pursue an obligation against any one party as if they were jointly liable and it becomes the responsibility of the defendants to sort out their respective proportions of liability and payment.
This means that if the claimant pursues one defendant and receives payment, that defendant must then pursue the other obligors for a contribution to their share of the liability.
This obligation is normally spelled out in a lease clause, in leases which are signed by two or more tenants.
Why is this Important?
Forcing joint and several liability with your tenants will allow you to view them as a single entity. I recommend using a special clause in your lease that creates this type of liability among your tenants.
Feel free to use my lease clause found below. Trust me, it will make your life as a landlord, much easier.
In case you don't believe me, there are many realistic situations where this stipulation will come in handy:
Scenario 1: Full Rent Responsibility
Let's say that you are renting to a group of tenants. Half of the tenants decide to move out randomly (without telling you), and the remaining tenants are then left not sure how they will pay the full rent amount next month without the other missing tenants.
If you use a clause that forces "joint and several liability", each tenant will still be on the hook for paying the full rent amount, and not just "their" portion of it.
Scenario 2: Pursuing One Instead of All
All your tenants skip on rent, trash the property, and then disappear. You can only find/track down one of them.
This clause lets you pursue that single tenant for all remaining debt owned, and for the full damage done to the property.
For example: One tenant decides to get a dog who chews up all the trim and moulding, and ruins the hardwood floors. You are allowed to use the security deposit to make repairs, even if the dog's owner didn't contribute any money to the original deposit.
Scenario 3: Communication
When giving an advanced notice (like a notice that you will be coming over to make repairs), you can give it to one of the tenants, and it counts legally sufficient notice to all the tenants.
This clause allows you to assume that it is the tenant's responsibility to effectively communicate any of your messages to one another.
My Lease Clause
In order to protect yourself, you should have a clause in your lease that forces "joint and several liability" from your tenants.
Personally, I use the following language in my leases.
Feel free to use this clause as well:
MULTIPLE TENANTS OR OCCUPANTS. Each Tenant(s) is jointly and severally liable for all Lease Agreement obligations. If any Tenant(s), guests, or occupant violates the Lease Agreement, all Tenant(s) are considered to have violated the Lease Agreement. Landlord's requests and notices to any one Tenant(s) constitute notice to all Tenant(s) and occupants. Notices and requests from any one Tenant(s) or occupant (including repair requests and entry permissions) constitute notice from all Tenant(s). In eviction suits, each Tenant(s) is considered the agent of all other Tenants in the Premise for service of process. A notice to vacate must be signed by all Tenant(s) or it will not be considered valid.
Currently, in common law, there is no direct relationship between actual responsibility and potential responsibility – which is great for landlords.
However, some states have modified this rule. According to Wikipedia:
Many states have limited the applicability of the rule of joint and several liability. California and Ohio have retained joint and several liability only for economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages. Illinois has abolished joint and severaliability of defendants less than 25% at fault. Iowa and New York have abolished joint and several liability for parties less than 50% at fault. Louisiana and Mississippi allow joint and several liability only to the extent necessary to cover 50% of the plaintiffs damages.
The potential legal reform of this clause could include abolition of the rule of joint and several liability and adoption of a rule of pure several ("proportionate") liability. A party would be liable for damages only in an amount proportionate to his or her responsibility for the plaintiffs harm. A defendant found 10% responsible for plaintiff's harm would be liable for 10% of plaintiff's damages.

I'm in year lease w/roommate eff. 2013 a new one never signed-my lease rolled to a month-to-month lease.
5/31/16 I gave 30-day notice and I haven't lived there since 4/22/16. Per sec 2B Lease: and shall terminate on 7/31/14 unless landlord accepts rent in which case a month-to-month shall be created which EITHER PARTY may terminate as specified in 2A – It reads, Month-to-Month: and continues as a month-to-month tenancy. Tenant may terminate the tenancy by giving 30-days notice. Landlord refuses to remove me off eff. 7/1/16, Landlord says I will continue to be responsible for any rent past 6/30/16 unless roommate sign a new lease – per sec 22 Joint and individual obligations. Is this accurate? I gave notice. Am I still responsible come 7/1?
Elizabeth D.
I have lived in the same place in Los Angeles for 2 years and I signed a lease that used this expression. Upon every roommate change, including myself and a few others these 2 years, a new lease was signed with the new person and rent increased as per rent control. Recently, one of my roommates gave his 30-day notice and the landlord used this phrase to indicate if one roommate moves out then we all have to move out, which we are not prepared to do. Can this phrase be used this way? He wants us to move out and back in at the market-value of the apartment, rather than the 3% increase he has used in the past. The lease wording has not changed so I'm wondering if he is just trying to find a way to evict us and collect higher rent?
Lucas Hall
Hi, while I understand wanting to sign a new lease every time the roommates change, what he's doing seems odd. Unfortunately, you'd have to talk to a lawyer to find out if what he is doing is illegal or not.
No Nonsense Landlord
In a "Joint and several liability" lease, at the end of the lease, any roommate can give notice to end the lease. Think of it this way, if the Landlord can raise the rent, the lease is at it's end.
All roommates are equally responsible for the rent, and any one of them can terminate it at it's end, with proper notice. When they move, the are entitled to their deposit back.
The remaining tenants can continue. Effectively, that is a new lease.
Ed I.
Elizabeth D – did you ever get an answer regarding if the landlord can make everyone sign a new lease and increase your rent to market value, or can they make everyone sign a new lease and they can only increase rent the percentage that is allowed under Los Angeles rent stabilization? I am in the same situation. Please let me know, thanks
Hot Take: "jointly and severally liable" is inadequate at best. Why? Because it takes a small problem and escalates it into a dumpster fire by handing liability over to the next person. Sure, you might get your former tenant to pay court fees on top of paying for the sins of his cotenants but that doesn't recoup the opportunity cost. On top of that, this tenant who probably wasn't causing any issues, won't want anything to do with you and you'll have shot their record for no fault of their own. Any business takes on risk, its a fact of life. Passing risk on to the consumer is usually considered bad business practice. So why trust the cotenants to be good judges of character when you're the one with all the leasing experience?
great points altogether, you just gained a brand new reader. What would you recommend about your post that you made some days ago? Any positive?
Question One: Shouldn't a sole cotenant be able to terminate a month to month lease with 30 Days' notice, since it is a Joint and Several Liability contract? The several (individual) applies to terminating a lease not just paying full rent and damages, correct?
Question Two: If all cotenants have to vacate the property before the contract is severed, and if one cotenant refuses to move, how can they force the other cotenants to pay in perpetuity after a proper 30 days' notice was given? Can they legally force me to stay/pay there forever if the cotenant never moves?
The lease was signed Feb. 2014 by three cotenants. It is now a m2m and stipulates 30 days' notice. Me and another cotenant were added on the lease and signed it 3/12/2016.
I'm a landlord in Washington, D.C. My lease has the term 'jointly and severally'. At expiration of lease, one tenant gave 30 day notice to vacate, the other refuses to leave. Does the one giving to 30 day notice to vacate remain liable for the rent and damages ? Does the lease automatically convert to month to month at the existing rent amount? Am I required to renew lease? How do I evict remaining one/s?

Yes, only sterile, disposable needles are used. Every licensed acupuncturist has passed the National Clean Needle Techniques Examinations.
Discomfort is mild or nonexistent. Most people only feel the initial pinch.
If acupuncture is provided by a well-trained acupuncturist, the most common side effect is an occasional bruise.
Twice a week for 5 weeks is better than once a week for 10 weeks for acute conditions. For chronic conditions, twice a week for 5 weeks, then once a week for another 10 weeks is recommended.

We'll give it to you straight: it's totally possible to hack your machine so you can free-motion quilt. Start dreaming up those swirly motifs, and get ready to teach your old machine some new tricks!
Free-Motion Quilting
Free-motion quilting is a technique where stitches are added by sewing in any direction on the surface of the quilt. To give yourself this range of motion on a standard machine your have to two things: Disengage the feed dogs and swap out the foot.
Most modern machines let you disengage or lower your feed dogs to get them out of the way. But if your machine doesn't have this capability, you can cover them with a special piece of material called a Supreme Slider. This temporary cover also creates a slippery surface on which your quilt can glide, which can make your project a little easier. (You might want to give the Supreme Slider a shot even if you can lower your feed dogs, just to see what you prefer!)
Since the standard sewing presser foot is made to work directly with your feed dogs, you'll need a special foot to use for free-motion quilting. If your machine does not come with a free-motion foot, you can get a generic darning foot that's made to fit most sewing machines. Once this is in place, you can thread your machine as your normally would and get started.
Straight-Line Quilting
This is another great option for adding plenty of amazing texture to your quilts with simple straight-line quilting. A walking foot or built in even-feed system works well for stitching straight lines. However, if you don't have either of these options, you can still quilt straight lines with your favorite all-purpose sewing foot.
Matchstick Quilting
Another great way to add interesting quilting with a walking foot or regular sewing foot is to stitch a series of straight lines spaced very close together over the surface of your entire quilt. This is sometimes called "matchstick quilting" and is a very popular design to use for modern quilting.
To machine quilt matchstick lines, simply start on one side of the quilt and stitch a line from one end to the other. Don't worry about keeping your lines completely straight. Organic, imperfect lines actually add more interest to the quilt!
Continue stitching in the same direction all the way across the quilt. You can periodically mark a straight line with painter's tape to keep the lines going in roughly the same direction.
Spaced-Out Lines
Quilting lines spaced further apart look great on quilts with large amounts of background negative space. They can be quilted at a diagonal angle across the quilt to add interest and break up the space. So don't feel limited if you can't or don't wish to free-motion quilt your creations. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity, and it all starts with a straight line.
Quilting Wavy Lines
You can quilt slightly wavy lines with a walking foot as well. The lines don't have to be even and they don't even or planned out to add dimension to your quilt.

The role of fluoroquinolones in the treatment of Tuberculosis
AbstractSUMMARY. The need for new, more effective antituberculous drugs is pressing. The treatment of active disease needs to be shortened and simplified, the treatment given for latent tuberculosis (TB) also needs to be shortened and, most importantly, improved therapy for multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is needed. The fluoroquinolones are the first novel drugs since the rifamycins found to exert significant activity against M. tuberculosis. They are currently being used for the prophylactic treatment of individuals who have been exposed to MDR-TB, for the treatment of MDR-TB, for empirical treatment of TB in areas with high rates of MDR-TB and for patients who present severe adverse reactions to the conventional antituberculous regime. Conversely, their use is not recommended as a first-line drug for the routine treatment of TB. Fluoroquinolones are relatively safe antimicrobial compounds that bind to bacterial topoisomerases, resulting in cell death. They show strong bactericidal activity both in vitro and in vivo, and some, such as moxifloxacin, also exert sterilizing activity. Resistance to fluoroquinolones, associated with their previous use, is a significant issue. The emergence of resistance is far more likely when ciprofloxacin is included in the regime. In the case of community-acquired pneumonia the decision to administer a fluoroquinolone should be made with caution and the possibility of pulmonary TB should be considered. The appropriate use of fluoroquinolones both in the treatment of TB and for community-acquired pneumonia is of critical importance, since the emergence of resistance is becoming a significant problem. Pneumon 2008; 21(4):–

Probably my absolute favourite food is fried chicken. Eating my mum's fried chicken got me hooked, but in my opinion, the best fried chicken comes from Korea! There's a few great Korean fried chicken places in Sydney. Both Arisun and Naruone have excellent versions of the dish. These restaurants tend to serve the chicken with a variety of condiments to cut through the oily, rich, deep-fried bird. The king of these condiments is kim chi.
There's been a massive kim chi trend sweeping through restaurants, recipe books, blogs and magazines recently. For those readers who haven't heard of kim chi, it's basically a fermented cabbage, coated in a spicy chilli sauce. It can be used in a stir fry or salad. Or you can cook it into a delicious kim chi pancake (or pajeon as it's known in Korea).
When I was researching a recipe to use to make my own kim chi, I came across this excellent recipe in Issue 2 of David Chang's fantastic quarterly food magazine, The Lucky Peach. The recipe looked pretty simple, except it contained two ingredients that I had never used before - brine shrimp and korean chilli flakes (kochukaru).
I happened to be around Eastwood one weekend so I stopped by the Korean side of Rowe St, which has a couple of Korean supermarkets. So after a quick trip around Young Mart, I found it pretty easy to find these ingredients.
Making the Kim Chi was fairly straightforward. The hardest part was waiting a week before trying it! In the end this recipe seemed to be saucier (not in the raunchy sense of the word) than the Kim Chi that I have at Arisun or Naruone, but that being said, it was much more flavoursome. A friend described it as being really 'potent' - it really does pack a bit of a punch. And week by week the kim chi becomes more fermented, and more potent.
I've found that the best way to eat this Kim Chi is with Bulgogi beef, and some Korean shallot pancakes. Delicious!
The Recipe
Adapted from David Chang's recipe for Paechu Kim Chi in Issue 2 of The Lucky Peach.
- 1 head of Savoy cabbage.
- A thumb sized piece of ginger.
- 1 entire bulb of garlic.
- 4 tablespoons of Maldon Sea Salt.
- 1 cup of sugar.
- 2 cups of water.
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce.
- 1 cup of Korean chilli flakes (kochukaru)
- 5 tablespoons of fish sauce.
- 2 tablespoons of brine shrimp.
- 6 spring onions, cut into 2 inch pieces.
- 1 carrot, julienned.
- Discard any floppy or dry looking cabbage leaves.
- Chop the cabbage up into bite sized pieces.
- In a big bowl, coat the cabbage leaves in the Maldon sea salt and two tablespoons of sugar. Leave it in the fridge overnight. The salt will extract most of the moisture from the cabbage leaves.
- The next day, drain the water from the cabbage. Really press it out in a sieve.
- In a small pot, heat a cup of water and a cup of sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool.
- Blend up the syrup you just made, the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, kochukaru, fish sauce, and brine shrimp and an extra cup of water, until it's a nice thick sauce.
- Coat the cabbage, spring onions and carrot in the sauce and then bottle up in sterilised jars.
- Wait a week before devouring!

Modern-Day Witches Plan Ritual To Hex Brett Kavanaugh
Hexes are "not something you do lightly," Bracciale added, "but it is something you have in your arsenal or toolbox."
Bracciale said a hex is fundamentally different from a "binding" spell, which is about trying to block someone from doing something and limits others' agency. A hex is a more direct attack that treats its target as an equal in a supernatural fistfight, Bracciale said.
About 1,000 people say they have plans to attend the sold-out event, which only has a capacity for 60. Catland is planning to livestream the hex and distribute instructions on social media for people who want to replicate the ritual at home.

Steam Yacht Gondola Crewman.
While working as a Fix The Fells volunteer on the upland paths, cold & soaked through, I saw the beautiful sight of Gondola way below on Coniston Water, so with a background of deep sea marine engineering and steam I thought that would be a nice, warm, dry place to be!
I applied to join the crew in 2008, got the job and have never looked back. I absolutely love it, but the real pleasure is meeting and talking to so many lovely people from all around the world.

I know I don't focus on men's fashion that often, but I can be an equal opportunity blogger. Besides, sometimes there's nothing like a sharply dressed dude. (In fact, there's a whole tumblr dedicated to guys in suits: http://guysinsuits.tumblr.com/) And while there were plenty of suits at GQ's Men of the Year party, but I was most impressed by the guys who chose to show off their sartorial sense with a little flair. Without further ado:
Le Van Der Beek is killing on TV playing an exaggerated version of himself. And I also think he's killing it by mixing patterns here.
Ben McKenzie looks like he's wearing the maroon version of the suit Rob Pattinson wore to the Breaking Dawn 2.0 premiere. Together, they'd be the snazziest dressed people at a holiday party.
As a concept, I hate a plaid suit. On Darren Criss? I love a plaid suit! Continue reading

In 12th century France, a new philosophical and religious enquiry is growing. The educated Peter Abelard is at the forefront of this new thinking. When he begins an affair with his student Heloise, his enemies find the pretence they need to discredit him. By attempting this, they begin a war of ideas that inevitably involves Abbot and Popemaker Bernard of Clairvaux.
Howard Brenton, whose other plays include The Romans In Britain and Paul, uses the love story of Abelard and Heloise to examine logic, religion, humanism, fundamentalism, faith and power.
This production is a world premiere.

Then I went out for a smoke and was introduced to a lady (from the dark side) who asked me a few genetic questions because she ran into some problems in her breeding program. As I was answering her questions, Harley's owner signaled her to walk away so that she could approach me. Before she reached me I was already talking to other members of my group but she asked me to walk away so she could talk to me about something in private. Ok, we walked up the hill, where she immediately proceded to get extremely "snotty" about the remarks I have posted regarding her dog. She was also upset over the fact that I tried to get his picture (as the ultimate representative of my breed) removed off the Wiki. So, I tried to point out to her that it's not "personal" -- just FACT--her dog is not a "perfect" representative of MY Breed, Period! In fact, if he was to be expertly evaluated by an honest judge, he would not even qualify as breeding stock! In Europe a good GSD has to pass his Koer rating. Unfortunately, in America they don't use that system!
This enraged her and she started pointing her finger at me, yelling that she did not care what I think, if he wasn't perfect, he wouldn't be the top dog in ARBA!
So I pointed my finger back in her face and informed her that any fool can buy a title, big deal! It doesn't prove that her dog is a "champion" just that she was dumb enough to spend thousands of dollars for a piece of paper!
I still feel very strongly that dog show venues that encourage "professional" handlers provide an unfair advantage to poor quality dogs and debase the real purpose of exhibiting rare breeds.
That's when she told me that I had no right to "bad mouth" her dog and I replied that what I have said about him was true and now I will just have to do a full report, a lot sooner than I had expected to!
That's when she ran off towards the ARBA office, screaming that she was going to have me thrown out!
What a joke! We paid to get in, and we had as much right to be there as anyone else, whether she liked it or not! Why are these slivers so scared of me?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the dogs they are showing should be disqualified--if anything! Most of them are under-sized and have horrible faults! Or doesn't anyone even bother to look at the Breed Standard? For judges that may choose to invent their own interpretations, we have provided pictures!
Let's take a moment to inspect the best, top winner they have!
#1. I don't think that Harley is even tall enough to meet the standard! Everyone seems to be terrified of asking the judges to put a wicket on him! I would like to see a REAL GSD judge (German preferred) take an honest measurement of this dog! I highly doubt that he is 28 inches tall! I have stood next to Daniel. He is not a very tall man. I would guess 5'4" to 5'6" at best. Karen is 5'3" so let's compare these three dogs standing next to a person.
#2. Let's look at some of his other faults as compared to the Illustrated Breed Standard.
Please take a few minutes to view the drawings in our Illustrated Breed Standard. Now take a moment to compare him to the German Shepherd Breed Standard. He fails that one too! I have seen long haired GSD's that are more appealing to look at, and I have known many Shilohs that have proven themselves as outstanding producers--so why is this dog rated as the #1 ARBA champion?
It's all about the money!
In other words, it all depends on how much the owner is willing to spend in order to buy awards!
Anyone looking for an ego trip can go to their local shelter, rescue a GSD mix and hire a great handler, then go to all of the ARBA shows for a year and you can beat his record! Great, eh?
Well, how does that improve the breed? Is there any sense in such foolishness? Who benefits from such games? Certainly not the breed!
Now let's compare two ISSR Shiloh Shepherds.
This is what a good show should look like.

Chemically dependent individuals, like everyone else, experience loss. Working with grief in chemically dependent clients is challenging, due to the fact that they use drugs, in part, to avoid pain. They may also experience delayed grief soon after becoming drug-free. Delayed grief means that the person experiences the intense pain of loss they suppressed due to their use of drugs.
I have become more attentive to grief in chemically dependent individuals since the death of my daughter Jeannine over seven years ago. I have discovered many similarities in the journeys between chemically dependent individuals who are working to attain sobriety and non- chemically dependent bereaved individuals who are trying to adjust to life without their loved ones:
- Use of support groups: Chemically dependent individuals rely on support from self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous to help them live a drug-free lifestyle. Regular attendance at these self-help meetings helps them feel less alone and isolated during their recovery journey. Individuals who have experienced loss will go to a support group best suited to meet their needs. For both grieving and chemically dependent individuals, inadequate support networks can be detrimental to their progress. For chemically dependent individuals who have specific grief issues, attendance at a support group specific to their loss, is also indicated.
- Stories are key: The significance of the journeys of both chemically dependent and bereaved individuals is enhanced by the stories that they tell about their addiction and their deceased loved ones.
- Emphasis on Self–Care: Bereaved individuals are encouraged to develop their own personal self-care plans, which can include ways that they can nurture themselves physically, psychologically, spiritually and emotionally after loss. Chemically dependent people are also encouraged to develop self-care plans. They are taught to identify their triggers and to find ways to manage those triggers. Self-care plans should be modified as the individual's needs change.
- The journeys of both the chemically dependent person and bereaved individual are circular rather than linear. A chemically dependent individual may re-experience urges to use at any time in their recovery due to contact with old places, people and things that contributed to their use, or due to stress. For the bereaved, the continuous occurrence of milestone events (e.g., birthdays, death anniversary dates) can result to a return to the intense emotional pain of early grief.
When working with bereaved and chemically dependent people, professionals can be most helpful in helping them find meaning and significance through listening to their stories, celebrating progress and connecting them with appropriate support networks. In this context, the professional becomes a companion and an important part of the journey.
We also need to remember that not everyone grieves or attains sobriety the same way. It is our job to understand their individual needs and strengths, and work from that perspective.

Scripture given for the day. Matthew 16:24 If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Ok, so maybe this isn't going to be so easy. I am to tired to take up a cross, they are heavy.
There are preparations and plans that have to be made. But instead of buying special diet food, cleaning out cabinets that are loaded with junk food, we are traveling on a different road. Suddenly this seems to be getting more interesting.
We are told to think on the fact that there is a difference in the mindset of those who live a healthy life and are thin and those of us who struggle to lose or maintain their weight. The thin, healthy people make distinct and definite choices every day with regard to food, their health, their bodies, exercise and they probably look at life differently in general.
Maybe it is just me, but doesn't that seem just a tad bit like a struggle and not a whole lot different than what we do every day. I think about what I eat, I think about exercise and my health. I think about, but avoid looking at my body. However, the difference that the founder of the group is trying to get me to see I believe, is that where I think about these things, those people who have achieved a healthy weight actually DO THOSE things.
If getting healthy and losing weight is really what your plan is, you have to do more than give it lip service or put on an outward show (as written about previously). If this is truly your goal, and mine, then we are going to have to make the changes necessary to do it. There is no magic bullet, we have searched and searched and not found it yet. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that it simply doesn't exist.
Cathie told us to determine what we were willing to sacrifice to achieve our goals. Because at the end of the day, no matter what diet you are on, no matter who you are listening to, are you willing to accept that you, only you are one hundred percent responsible for your success or failure. I think that if we are honest here, we have simply avoided this fact. It can't be our fault, we think about food every day, plan what we eat, when we eat it and how we eat it. Maybe it is time to step up and take that responsibility, you know, the one where you are responsible for what you eat, how you eat it, where you eat it, how much exercise you get and even how we think about life in general.
She points out the awesome example that the Bible gives us in the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. There are plenty of others also. Gideon, Samson and David, Daniel, Paul, Samuel and all the prophets. Take a look at these examples, they are motivation for what is possible if we only try. If it is going to be successful, the fact is, it is going to be hard work.
This is such a different approach for me however, not so much talking about what to eat or not to eat. Rather, asking if I am looking at the deeper issues of why I gained weight in the first place. Am I underestimating the efforts that are necessary for success? Getting real personal and deep into the. closed off parts of me that no one gets to see, such as do I feel worthy of being my best, am I sabotaging my own efforts? Again, I say, ………………oh……………..wow.
Matthew West says it best, (yes, we were given this also) "There is a way between guilt and grace, they are fighting for a sacred space. And the phrase that I should be looking at more deeply than any other, I AM LIVING PROOF THAT GRACE WINS EVERY TIME. Grace can reach us, it does reach us.
Hallelujah, be certain that Grace will win every time!!!!
Let's do this!
……………and so I ride

The U.S. Supreme Court has dealt another blow to legal limits on campaign contributions. In a 5-4 ruling Wednesday morning, Justice Anthony Kennedy joined with the court's conservatives to strike down the aggregate limits on campaign contributions. In English, that's the cap on how much total money you can donate to candidates and committees during a two year campaign cycle. While caps on individual donation amounts are in still in place, the move will allow donors to give overall to more candidates and causes.
Sam Wercinski, executive director of the Arizona Advocacy Network and political consultant Sean Noble talked about the decision.

One of the first original Manga magazine from the heart of Libya, Benghazi, created by a team of Libyan comics artists and manga fanatics to showcase the epic talents of Libyan artists.
With 6 issues and over 160 pages in every issue available in both Arabic and English; Habka Magazine is taking manga stories to a fresh unique level.
Issue one begins with a series of comics including;
Phi, follows a champion gamer who is the sole winner of an online trivia game that has captivated the world only to find himself sucked into a virtual reality that has put himself and the world in danger.
Super Azaiz, set in a desolate street in Benghazi, this hilarious comic takes a brilliant jab at four elderly women who seem to have superpowers that all of us can relate to the elderly women in our lives.
Omerta, this is one of those comics that undoubtedly embody the manga genre, where the three children to the biggest mafia family are set to take on the criminal underworld.
Far from reality, Yo is only interested in his reclusive ways where normal daily life is undeniable mind-numbing, but when he comes upon what seems to be a harmless trinket he is teleported to an unknown world in an unknown time that he has no clue how to get out of. Far from home is fuelled dark mystery and with intense illustrations.
Additional comics in the magazine include; 'The return', 'The Void', 'Heroes of Shadow', 'Sundown Horizon'; where each individual manga comic story carries through to the other 5 issues.
Habka magazine mixes the classical Manga genre with an Arabic fusion that allows Libyan artists and talents for storytelling to come to life and be a real game changer for Middle Eastern comics.
A brief backstory of the creators
Habka magazine was the culmination of Libyan manga fans and friends, who were in their own right talented comic artists, coming together to produce their personalised manga comic and collective.
Noor Al-Deen Al-Houni Mansour, Abdullah Hadi, Hiba Al-Sheikhi, Malek Al-Haddad and Ahmad started their journey through a simple Facebook page and are still working to continue making their dreams of long-lasting collective or Libyan manga comics a reality.

Our Craft
It's not called craft beer for nothing.
Incredible beer like ours doesn't just happen. It takes time, quality ingredients, experience, passionate discussions (arguments), mistakes, experiments, love — but above all, craftsmanship.
Our dedication to our craft means that we take our time, use carefully selected ingredients, labour over our recipes, design exacting processes and follow them to the letter.
Every step of the brewing process has a significant effect on the final product's quality, flavour and stability. There's no use in having standards if you don't stick to them. So our standards are non-negotiable.
We don't use sugar in our brews — nor any additives, preservatives or processing aids to speed things up. No nasty chemicals, foam enhancers, pre-isomerised hop products, animal products, finings, GMOs or anything else that's not supposed to be in beer.
Our 'local first' approach dictates that if ingredients and packaging materials are available in Australia, we buy them here. The closer to Burleigh, the better. We've achieved impressive water and energy efficiency, and ensured the shelf life of our beer without the need for chemicals or pasteurisation.
That all sounds very serious — and it is! But we believe hard work should be balanced out with a sense of reality, a bit of perspective and a good dose of fun. Our efforts produce something that's often used to celebrate hard work — it would be a crime not to enjoy the process!

A few years ago, the editors of Bon Appétit magazine declared braised short ribs the recipe of the year, and they asked me to create the ultimate version. Combining elements from different short rib dishes I had enjoyed at restaurants, this is the result. I have since received an amazing amount of mail from cooks who have told me that this is the most awesome meat dish they have ever encountered.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 pounds individual short ribs (not cross-cut flanken)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery rib, finely chopped
- 12 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups hearty red wine, such as Zinfandel or Shiraz
- 1 3/4 cups beef stock, preferably homemade, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- One 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes in juice, drained
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 ounces baby-cut carrots
- 1/2 cup Mediterranean black olives, such as Niçoise, pitted
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- 1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300°F.
- 2. Heat the oil in a large (at least 6-quart) Dutch oven or flameproof casserole over medium-high heat. Season the short ribs with the salt and pepper. In batches, without crowding, add the short ribs to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the ribs to a platter.
- 3. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pot. Add the onion, chopped carrot, and celery to the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, herbes de Provence, and flour and stir until the garlic gives off its aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf. Return the short ribs, and any juices, to the pot. Add cold water as needed to barely reach the top of the ribs and bring to a boil over high heat.
- 4. Cover tightly, transfer to the oven, and bake, stirring occasionally to change the position of the ribs, until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 2 1/2 hours. During the last 15 minutes, add the baby carrots.
- 5. Transfer the short ribs to a deep serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Skim off the fat from the surface of the cooking liquid, and discard the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes (the exact time depends on the size of the pot). Add the olives and cook to heat them through, about 3 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- 6. Spoon the sauce with the carrots over the ribs, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve hot.

SAN JOSE (KCBS) — The Center for Employment Training in Downtown San Jose hosted its 23rd annual Citizenship Day, where immigrants who are permanent residents start the process to become citizens.
"Normally we get about 800. We're expecting 3,000," said coordinator Teresa Castellanos, who said citizenship orientations are scheduled Saturday for immigrants in 14 languages. All they need is their green card.
She believes what's bringing out these vast numbers is the 2012 Presidential election and Republican Primary in particular.
KCBS' Betsy Gebhart Reports:
"We think that the increase in the interests is the presidential debate. Obviously everyone is talking about immigrants and the immigrant community and so I think the immigrant community feels they also want to participate in that dialogue," she said.
Many of the GOP debates have been focused on the issue of illegal immigration.
The event was held in two locations, the other being Gilroy at Rebekah Children's Services. The event is sponsored by the Santa Clara County Citizenship Collaborative.
Castellano said it's not easy to become a U.S. Citizen, referring to the application costs. In some cases, she said they're as much as half the applicant's rent.
Still, many persevere in their quest for citizenship despite the time an effort involved.

If they have a legal Green Card, GOD FOR THEM! They should proceed to acquire Citizenship. They are not the ones causing all the concerns. It is the illegal ones that need to be addressed

3 things to do if you have been sued by a debt collector
No one wants someone pounding on their door- but if you are expecting that "knock" then you are probably worried about getting sued. There are 3 things you should do if you are sued by a debt collector.
#1 Answer the Door
In Arizona, a debt collector can hire a process server to physically hand you a Summons & Complaint- but there is also alternative service. If you refuse to answer the door or otherwise dodge service, the debt collector can request service by other means- like sticking the docs on your door, mailing them to you, or even publishing the info in a newspaper.
The bottom line is, you will probably be served, and it is always better to know what you are facing than avoiding it. Also, this is how default judgments happen- if you never respond to the lawsuit, the debt collector can get a judgment against you, then they can (and probably will) try to garnish your wages!
So, step one to being sued- answer the door.
#2 Read the documents
Being sued is always scary, but you have options!
You can file an Answer – meaning you have a legal defense to owing the debt (not having money to pay is not a legal defense) and you want your day in court to try to avoid a judgment. You'd be shocked by how many times the wrong party is sued or a party is sued for a debt they don't owe. We suggest consulting with an attorney before you file an Answer.
You can also negotiate a settlement. Many debt collectors will negotiate a settlement to avoid additional litigation expense. The key here is to be nice, persistent, and make a reasonable offer. If you are curious about what to offer, consult with an attorney who does debt consolidation or debt collection litigation defense (like us).
You can also file bankruptcy. Sometimes the amount of the lawsuit, plus more lawsuits on the way are enough to start considering bankruptcy. Bankruptcy gets a bad wrap but it is for helping people get a fresh start. Life can throw unexpected curve balls, and sometimes financially you just can't recover. So instead of fighting the lawsuit, or settling this one only to have to file bankruptcy later, we suggest consulting with a bankruptcy attorney about your options.
Regardless of which option you pick, the second step is reading the documents so you know what you are facing.
#3 Act Quickly
The timeline for responding to a lawsuit is quick- usually 20 days from the date of service. You can request an extension to file an Answer from the Plaintiff to get more time, but it won't prevent a default judgment if you take too long.
Ignoring the lawsuit won't make it go away- in fact, doing so will make it worse. You can't fight a judgment years later, plus they tack on attorney fees, court costs, and interest. At some point you'll be stuck paying – like when you want to buy or sell your house, or if your wages are garnished. It's not fun, but you can avoid all of this by doing step 3 act quickly.
It's usually not as bad as you think.
We deal with these things every single day, so ask us for help- it's only $25 for the consultation. Get answers, and a plan.

For many families, an unexpected benefit of belonging to the JCC and sending their children to the preschool has been the family tradition that develops from the experience. Besides the nurturing staff and daily specialties that include Judaics and Hebrew, music and movement, one of the most inviting aspects of the JCC Early Childhood Program is its family feel, maintained by generation after generation returning to the preschool so their children and grandchildren can experience the same joy they felt singing songs like "Bim Bam, Shabbat Shalom."
Nikki Henry has been with the program, first as a teacher and now as the program's Early Childhood Director, for more than 30 years. More and more, she has noticed preschoolers she taught as children coming back to sign their children up for the same quality education they experienced. "When I see them come back in the door, it's fun to talk about what they remember. To hear them say it's the same, that we've been able to keep that Judaic feeling in the program, that's special," said Henry.
That the Center has maintained the same Jewish traditions children grew up with more than 30 years ago is intriguing for families. "They want to be able to share that with their kids. Their kids are coming home singing the same Shabbat songs, like Mini Mac. They may have forgotten about the songs, but when they're children start singing them, it brings it all back. That connection is still there. You won't find that many places," Henry added.
Henry remembers many, if not all, of the preschoolers she taught over the years. "We remember you when you come back through our doors. That's because each child is special and has a unique 'something' that we really do remember. For us, to see how much they've grown and changed over the years is such a treat."
One such child that Henry remembers, now a parent herself with a daughter attending the preschool on College Avenue, was Jenny (Meisel) Brown. "Nikki was one of my favorite teachers. I remember her being a really fun, caring teacher, and I can say the same about Emerson's teachers. The most consistent thing between when I went and now is the commitment that the teachers have," said Brown.
"I remember Jenny, too. That's what I think is fun. The parents coming back get so excited to see their teachers. And teachers like Carol Highfield or Holly Somogyi, who have been here for over 20 years, they remember them. We really do have a history with this community. And we're growing with it. We adapt to keep current, but our basic traditions always remain."
One of the ways the JCC Early Childhood Program has evolved is through its adoption of Sheva. This latest JCCA initiative has been implemented by all three preschool sites. The name Sheva comes from the Hebrew word for seven, a number with deep, symbolic roots in Jewish tradition. JCC preschools nationwide are applying the seven core elements of this innovative new program to bring early childhood education to the next level.
Firmly rooted in the latest research on child development, these seven elements focus on children as constructivist learners, early childhood educators as visionaries, and families as engaged partners in their child's education. The environment is utilized to provide inspiration for inquiry and Israel becomes a main character in the story of the Jewish people. One of the most exciting elements of Sheva is the children's health and wellness program, Discover CATCH, which brings to life the concept of Sh'mirat Ha Guf, or taking care of our bodies.
Underlying all the innovative new programming is the continuing tradition. For example, Steve Rosenzweig came to the JCC preschool some 20 years ago and remembers Mim Chenfeld, who continues teaching movement classes."It was a bit surreal walking back into the preschool. I hadn't been there in many years, and I was surprised by what I did recognize and even more so by how much it has changed for the better," commented Rosenzweig.
Rosenzweig also remembered the Jewish environment he experienced as a boy being very beneficial. It continues to be, he said, "not only to my daughter, but to our entire family. Over time I hadn't realized how much I had forgotten about Judaism. But hearing my daughter's rendition of 'Oh Hanukkah,' this past holiday season brought it all back," he said.
Karen Rediger attended the JCC throughout her childhood while her mother managed the JCC's Kosher Kitchen. Now both her children, Elijah and Naomi, attend. "It is nice to talk to people, like Nikki, who remember me as a child and then can compare my children to how I was at that age. I remember going to Heritage House as a young child and visiting the residents. My son does this currently and I appreciate that this tradition has continued," said Rediger.
"I value the opportunity for Jewish tradition to be a part of my children's daily education. I love watching them get excited when it is Shabbat or when they tell me about what they have learned about the Jewish holidays. At one point, my son even said he wanted to grow up and be a Rabbi," Rediger continued.
Jenny Brown also values the preschool's strong focus on Judaics, especially because she is raising her daughter in an interfaith family. "My husband is not Jewish, but we are raising our daughter to be. I attended one of the Center's Shabbat celebrations, and it surprised me how quickly all of the songs came back to me. It is very meaningful to me that Emerson will grow up at the JCC learning about the Jewish holidays and traditions. I also love that Nikki, Taryn and the other staff know and recognize all of the kids. They will greet Emerson by name many mornings."
Taryn Terwilliger has been at the JCC for over 25 years, working as its Program Coordinator the past 16. She echoed Brown's words. "It's my favorite thing. You just get to know all these families. They really become a part of your life. We always say, when our preschoolers bring their kids here, it's like full circle. I remember giving a tour once, and the mom at the end of the tour mentioned she went to preschool here. I asked her what her maiden name was and I did remember her family's name. I said, 'There was one girl who used to always wear her hair in braids.' She said, 'That was me!' and was so excited that I remembered her," said Terwilliger.
"In my mind, the JCC was the only option for my children," Rediger concluded, reflecting the opinion of many of the happy families whose children have attended and continue to attend through the years.
The caring, supportive atmosphere of the JCC Early Childhood Education program guides children from 6 weeks to 5-years-old through a curriculum designed to cultivate an intrinsic interest in and natural curiosity about Judaism and an understanding of Jewish values. Through a rich, cultural diet of stories, songs, and lessons on diversity, understanding, and empathy, the JCC preschool enriches young souls and teaches them the most basic of Jewish concepts.

New Years in Japan
Well the New Year's celebrations are long over and most people are back to work and school. Looking back at my winter vacation, it seemed to disappear in a flash. I shouldn't really be complaining seen as though most of Japan's workforce can only dream about two weeks of holiday. But while I didn't travel anywhere particularly special, it was a relaxing end to the year.

New York City sneaker consignment shop Stadium Goods just shared their best selling sneakers during their first two years in business, and the results are a perfect reflection of the current state of the industry. The top ten best selling models prove that the days of Nike and Jordan Brand dominating the market are gone, and adidas and Yeezy are the new kings of sneakers. How much more popular were adidas sneakers on the resale market? Within the top ten list of their best selling SKU's, only one—that's right, one—model is not a Yeezy, NMD, or Ultra Boost sneaker.
Stadium Goods went on to break down the top-selling brands as a whole during their first and second years in business, and the results again show a noticeable shift in the industry. In 2016 Jordan Brand led sales with adidas coming in second and Nike third. In 2017, adidas took the top spot with Jordan Brand falling to second and Nike staying in the third position. At least when it comes to the resale market, Yeezy truly has jumped over the Jumpman.

Student Council is the decision making body of the Students' Association of the University of the West of Scotland (SAUWS). It is the forum for UWS students to voice their concerns and where they can make decisions about the direction of the Students' Association and the University.
Our policies shape the direction that the student's association take and can be about anything that concerns students. For example, current policy means SAUWS works together with UWS to work on things as varied as improving food offerings on campus to improving support for student entrepreneurs to lobbying for a library fine amnesty. Policy also leads on more national areas - and means that SAUWS will always campaign against fee charges or fee interests for students. It might even be something small, such as the banning of Blurred Lines from being played in association spaces.
If you would like to see how our Sabbatical Officers are making progress on previously passed policies you can click here!
ANY student can submit policy using the form below - your ideas don't need to be complicated!
Once policies are submitted they will be put online here, and any student may comment or ask for clarification.
If you submit a policy suggestion you will be invited to student council to present it - but you don't have to. In your absence the Union Chair will read your submission - and then your elected student reps will vote on the policy.
So give us your ideas, and help us work for you!

Ysaye Barnwell 2019 Summer Institute Theme Speaker
The planning committee for the Central East Region Summer Institute (formerly the OMD Summer Institute) is very pleased to announce that Dr. Ysaye Barnwell will be the theme speaker for Summer Institute 2019, July 7-13 at Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH.
The topic of her theme speaker will be Building a Vocal Community, which is an award winning workshop she has presented around the world. There is an awesome power in the human voice and when uncommon voices are blended for the common good, they become a 'vocal community' at its best. Masterfully led by Dr. Ysaÿe M. Barnwell, singers and non-singers alike will share the common experience of learning in the oral tradition and singing rhythms, chants, traditional songs from Africa and the Diaspora, and a variety of songs from African American culture including spirituals, ring shouts, hymns, gospels, and songs from the Civil Rights Movement. The historical, social and political context will provided as an introduction to the songs. Through out this experience, the group will explore from an African American world view, the values imbedded in the music, the role of cultural and spiritual traditions and rituals, ways in which leadership emerges and can be shared by and among community members, the nature of cultural responses to and influences on political and social struggle, and finally the significance of a shared communal experience in ones' personal life. All that is required is a willingness to sing.
Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell a native New Yorker now living in Washington, DC is the only child and perfect blend of her mother, a registered nurse and her father, a classical violinist. Dr. Barnwell studied violin for 15 years beginning at age 2 ½, and majored in music through high school. With this background, she went on to earn the Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Speech Pathology (SUNY, Geneseo, 1967, 1968), Doctor of Philosophy in Speech Pathology (University of Pittsburgh, 1975), and the Master of Science in Public Health (Howard University, 1981). In 1998, Dr. Barnwell was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree by her alma mater, SUNY Geneseo. She recently received the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the Meadville Lombard Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL (2009) and the Virginia Theological Seminary (2011); and in 2012, all members of Sweet Honey In the Rock, were awarded the Honorary Doctor of Letters Degree from Chicago Theological Seminary (2012).
Dr. Barnwell appears as a vocalist and/or instrumentalist on more than thirty recordings with Sweet Honey In The Rock as well as other artists. She has, for the past thirty years spent much of her time off stage working as a master teacher and choral clinician in African American cultural performance. Her workshop "Building a Vocal Community®: Singing in the African American Tradition" has during the past twenty-eight years, been conducted on three continents, making her work in the field a significant source of inspiration for both singers and non-singers, a model of pedagogy for educators, and cultural activists and historians. Dr. Barnwell has been a commissioned composer on numerous choral, film, video, dance and theatrical projects including Sesame Street, Dance Alloy of Pittsburgh, David Rousseve's Reality Dance Company, The New Spirituals Project, GALA Festival Choruses, MUSE: Cincinnati's Women's Chorus, The Steel Festival: Art of an Industry (Bethlehem, PA), The King's Singers in England.
Four axioms have proven significant in Barnwell's life. To whom much is given, much is required. As one door closes, another door opens. Everything matters. Say Yes!
