Full disclosure – Tell your bankruptcy attorney everything!
Posted by David Leibowitz on October 27th, 2009 in Bankruptcy Crimes
We meet clients who have secrets. But bankruptcy is no place for secrets. Bankruptcy requires full disclosure. Clients who don't disclose all of their assets, all of their income or even all of their debts could lose their discharge in bankrutpcy. Why?
Everything that you say in your bankruptcy petition is supported by your solemn oath, under penalty of perjury. So if you leave out something important from your bankruptcy petition, and it is clear that you knew better, there's a strong likelihood that you can lose your discharge, just for making a false oath.
You also have to keep your paperwork intact. How much you need depends on how significant your business and debt is at the time you file your case. However, the more sophisticated you are, the more paperwork you must have. Failure to provide necessary papers to a trustee could result in loss of a discharge too.
You have to answer questions honestly too.
If you fail to do so, not only might you lose your discharge, you might also be committing a bankrutpcy crime.
Count on us at Lakelaw to help you file your bankruptcy papers correctly. Call us today at 1 866 LAKELAW (5253529). Lakelaw represents people in bankruptcy cases in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Does your bankruptcy lawyer have malpractice insurance?
Posted by David Leibowitz on October 23rd, 2009 in Uncategorized
Your bankruptcy attorney should take pride in his work. And your bankruptcy lawyer's work should be professional and competent. We at Lakelaw take pride in our work. And we put our money where our mouth is too. We carry more than $1,000,000 in malpractice insurance. So far, after 35 years, our carriers have never had to pay a claim!
You can check to see whether your Illinois bankruptcy attorney carries malpractice insurance at www.iardc.org.
We were surprised to find that some of the biggest names in the industry don't carry malpractice insurance. This is no reflection on the competence of their work. But you, the consumer, have the right to know. And you have the means to find out.
We at Lakelaw stand by our work. And we stand by you, our valued clients.
Bankruptcy isn't the total solution – another perspective
Posted by David Leibowitz on October 14th, 2009 in Bankruptcy, Wisconsin
Today, I met a new client seeking to file a bankruptcy. She faced moderate debts and also a large installment loan on her car. She was unemployed. But the future looks brighter for her. Why? This fifty-something client has taken advantage of the time given her during unemployment. She has been studying at the local technical college in Wisconsin and has learned a new profession. I'm not going to mention the specifics to protect her privacy. However, when she graduates from the program, there will be a job waiting for her. She'll be able to keep her house thanks to a loan modification agreement – there actually has been one offered to her. She'll be able to support herself thanks to her new job. And thanks to bankruptcy, she'll enjoy a fresh start and a sound financial footing. Wisconsin offered this client job retraining support – a fact which can be very useful to know for other Wisconsin clients facing bankruptcy and unemployment in light of factory closings in Kenosha , Racine and Janesville.
We at Lakelaw know that you are hurting. We at Lakelaw care about your financial future. You can count on us for far more than just a bankruptcy petition. We'll work with you from start to finish and beyond to be sure you get the relief you need and deserve and the fresh start to which you are entitled.
Bankruptcy can't solve all problems – get new skills if unemployed – Never give in!
Posted by David Leibowitz on October 14th, 2009 in Uncategorized
Bankruptcy can help people with debt. Bankruptcy doesn't solve problems for people without income.
In this horrible recession, we frequently see clients who are facing bankruptcy and foreclosure because they have lost their jobs. Bankruptcy allows an honest debtor to get a fresh start. However, bankruptcy can't solve the problems of those who don't have adequate income with which to live.
Recently, I met a prospective client who has been solidly a member of the upper middle class. He made more than $100,000 per year. He and his wife own a nice home in a nice neighborhood. His wife raised their three children as a full time mom and homemaker. Now he has lost his job. He works part time in retail. His wife works part time in retail. Their combined family income is less than $2000/month. They can't pay the mortgage any more. It will even be hard for them to pay their rent, eat and live on the income they make. They will almost certainly lose their home to foreclosure. No loan modification can possibly work as 31% of their income isnlt even $700/month – not enough to sustain any mortgage on their moderately priced home – a home which has gone down in value more than 30% since the market peak.
What can be done for this middle-age couple and their family?
Bankruptcy alone is not the solution. Aside from their mortgage, they have hardly any debt. They will have to sell their house and may have a hard time doing so because of the market. Their house may have to be sold in a short sale.
The problem here is less debt related and more income related.
The Solution – Retraining and re-education
People are resilient. They can learn new skills. Community colleges can help people evaluate their skill-set and set them on a course of retraining to productive work for which there is a demand. We can no longer be a nation of consumers and store clerks. We need to produce goods and services which people need and leave us and others around them better off. Every community college can help people learn the skills they need to be able to survive and thrive in the the 21st century information economy.
Never give in
The words of Winston Churchill have never been more apt – "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense."

Why do I have to give paystubs to my bankruptcy attorney?
Posted by David Leibowitz on October 11th, 2009 in Bankruptcy, Bankruptcy procedures, BAPCPA
At Lakelaw, we ask all our clients to give us paystubs from their jobs for the six months prior to the date that they are filing their bankruptcy case. It's a pain in the neck. We know. Why do we ask? Congress requires us to ask.
Under the "means test" you are considered to be abusing the bankruptcy system by filing a chapter 7 case – a straight bankruptcy – if your "current monthly income" is more than the national median. What does that mean in plain English?
If you make more than 1/2 of the people in the country for a family your size, Congress thinks you should be filing a chapter 13 case, all things considered.
Just to be sure you are not noodling your numbers, Congress figures out what you are making now by averaging what you made over the past six months. So even though the past six months does not reflect your present income, it does define your "current monthly income" for means test purposes.
If you make more than the median income for a family our size, we can sometimes qualify you for chapter 7 if you "overcome the presumptions" of abuse. For this, we need to do a detailed means test analysis. We charge you extra for this. It takes us an hour or two to analyze your situation and decide the proper outcome for you. We'll explain more about this in a future post.

It's good news.The Hayabusa spacecraft travelled to the asteroid Itokawa, collected a sample, and deposited it in the Australian outback last year. After months of cleaning and testing, it has turned out that, despite being small, the sample holds a lot of information about Earth's makeup.The Japanese were hoping to collect a larger sample than what was actually brought back from Itokawa, however what was there held evidence that the asteroid is the parent of the type of the type of meteorites that most often land on Earth, called chrondrites.When they enter Earth's atmosphere, chrondites burn up and change their chemical nature, which causes them to be referred to as meteorites. The Japanese sample shows the original nature of the rock and how it changes at the forces of space weather. This in turn could help to explain Earth's origin and its evolution as a planet, as well as that of the solar system.Humberto Campins, a physics professor at the University of Central Florida and asteroid expert, said of the study, "this is a great achievement for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The analysis of the Itokawa asteroid sample illustrates the wealth of information that can be obtained even from very small samples and sets the stage nicely for Nasa's OSIRIS REx mission, which is to sample a more primitive asteroid. That asteroid should help us understand the role asteroids played in the origin of Earth's oceans and life." The OSIRIS-Rex mission is scheduled to launch in 2016.

Anna Kendrick & Rebel Wilson Set for PITCH PERFECT 2
Universal Pictures has just confirmed to ComingSoon.net that both Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson will return for the sequel to the surprise hit 2012 musical comedy PITCH PERFECT. Elizabeth Banks is set to direct, with Kay Cannon also returning to pen the script.
PITCH PERFECT 2 hits theaters on May 15, 2015.
In PITCH PERFECT, when Beca leads this acoustic singing group out of their traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mashups, they fight to climb their way to the top of college music competitions. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both. The Pitch Perfect ensemble includes Kendrick (Twilight, Up in the Air), Anna Camp (The Help), Brittany Snow (Hairspray) and Wilson (Bridesmaids, Bachelorette).
Kendrick is known for her roles in such films as The Company You Keep, End of Watch, The Twilight Saga, Scott Pilgrim Saves the World, ParaNorman and 50/50. In 2010, Kendrick starred opposite George Clooney and Jason Bateman in the film Up in the Air, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.
Kendrick will soon be seen as Cinderella in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods. An accomplished theater veteran, Kendrick made her Broadway debut in the 1997 production of High Society, for which she received a Tony Award nomination. Kendrick's additional theater work includes A Little Night Music, My Favorite Broadway/The Leading Ladies: Live at Carnegie Hall and Broadway workshops of Jane Eyre and The Little Princess. Earlier this year, Kendrick's hit song "Cups (When I'm Gone)," from The Pitch Perfect soundtrack, climbed into to the Top 10 on Billboard's Adult Pop Song chart.
Wilson, who just joined NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 3, has previously been featured in PITCH PERFECT, BRIDESMAIDS, and BACHELORETTE.
She is currently starring in ABC's SUPER FUN NIGHT for ABC and was recently seen in STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, written by Chris Colfer.

Teamwork makes the dream work! by Reczek Lab Group! - over 1 year ago

Looking for fun custom t-shirts ? Create yours now at CustomInk! We make it easy with an online design lab full of fun design ideas and fun tips to make your group stand out ¦in a good way! Browse the photos below to see some of our happy customers in action and get inspired to join the fun.
"We are an undergraduate research group at Denison University. We all work together in a chemistry lab to discover new materials for better solar cells!"
"We gather together once a year in Gatlinburg, Tennessee to have a festival of food during the Thanksgiving Weekend. We stay at a cabin named Finders Keepers at Elk Springs Resort. It is a time of relaxation, merriment, and gastronomic goodness that culminates in a Sweet Genius Contest. Each couple is responsible for preparing a meal from scratch and contributing to the feast on Thanksgiving day. We eat, we lounge, and we eat some more. The t-shirts are ordered a size to big to allow for over-indulgence. Custom ink has given us a way to commemorate the eating experience of Fat Pants Weekend with fantastic t-shirts. They are high quality t-shirts that were easy to design and received quickly after ordering. I really appreciate how they send you a proof of your design before they begin printing and I really love the fact that they check in with you to make sure you not only received your order, but are happy with your purchase. I highly recommend this company and have already referred friends to their site. "
"This photograph is the poster for our Winter Concert 2012. We are an all-female a cappella group at Dickinson College, and our shirt design is based on Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" classic hit. This is one of the songs on our setlist this semester! We have been ordering our group shirts from CustomInk for years, and have always had a truly wonderful experience!"
"This photograph was taking at my Saturday school, CCD. My friends had asked me to place an order for them for Insanity crewnecks from my football team, once they got it, they all decide to wear it to Saturday school unexpectedly. My experience working with Customink is absolutely amazing. "
"Well I am a college kid and wanted to tackle all birthdays for family and friends at one time. I designed these shirts and everyone loves them! Me (with the surprised look on my face) and the far left, my younger sister Rexanna (doing the scorpion) next to myself, my mother Jennifer next to her and Sarah the one on the far right, doing well, what she does best. Being goofy!"
"Our Math Team T-shirts say Eat, Sleep, Math. In our photo, part of our team is eating doughnuts, which we do at each practice. The boys in the middle are sleeping, and the team members standing are "doing math". Believe it or not, some of the boys on the team chose to have the "pink" tie dye shirts. We had a great experience with CustomInk and we plan on using them again in the future."
"We celebrated Dan's 50th birthday on the High Seas. A 3 day cruise aboard the NCL Sky was the perfect way to say Happy Birthday! The T shirts from Customlink added the special touch...letting others know we were all together for this wonderful event. With Tshirts for each friend, a special Birthday Boy Tshirt for Dan (he wasn't without a Barcardi and Coke) and cinch bags to tote around the boat and island. Customink provided unbeatable service .... I give the trip and Customink a WOW!"
"About 20 of us ran in this mud run to benefit Cradles to Crayons. Our team name 'I'm Dirty and I know it'. Our kids ran in the 1Mile run, their team 'My mom's a filthy girl'. Alot of fun, very muddy."
"We ordered these T-Shirts for our First Lego League Competition on Nov 11th. Hands down, we had the brightest shirts there, so we stood out well. We got a lot of compliments about them. My order was handled very well. Starting with Ease of Use on the website, uploading images, and placing the order. I was contacted by customer service with questions regarding the printing, which was a nice touch. Approval process with a text to my phone showing that final approval was needed was also a great idea. Finally, delivery was ahead of schedule, in a nice package, and was exactly what I ordered. I can tell that CustomInk has a great Quality Assurance program in place...it shows."

London's 'Swish pie' is world's most expensive
The humble fish pie, a British winter staple, has undergone a five star makeover with a price tag to match.
Charlie Bigham's 'Swish Pie' is being launched in the capital today and promises to be the world's most expensive ready meal.
The ingredients themselves read like a VIP guest list: salmon poached in vintage DomPerignon, a 24ct gold crumb on top of the dish, sea salt harvested from the Piran Salt Pans and whitetruffles as well as an 'amuse-bouche' of Beluga Caviar.

Du Pont has introduced a wiping product that the diversified industrial company said is designed exclusively for aircraft windshields and passenger windows. Made from a proprietary blend of fibers, the company said its Sontara window wipes are intended to be used with approved cleaning solutions (such as Prist and Aviation Laboratory) on acrylic, polycarbonate and glass transparencies.

Manufacturers are relying more on composite materials for business aircraft construction thanks to a drop in manufacturing costs and better automation. Largely because of improved curing processes, OEMs are gradually eliminating expensive tooling and slashing the overall number of parts needed for a given aerostructure.
GMT, a Rhode Island-based composites specialist, recently delivered two highly customized showers to MAV Aircraft Services for installation in an executive Boeing 767 being done by the Fort Worth-based interiors specialist. Both composite enclosures measure 40 inches in diameter, 80 inches tall and feature curved, transparent Lexan doors and a slightly raised floor that allows water to run off around the edge and into a hidden drain.
McDonnell Douglas MD-369D, Volcano, Hawaii, June 15, 2003 – The commercial pilot and three passengers were killed when the MD-369D lost power and crashed onto a rugged hardened lava flow in the Volcanoes National Park. The NTSB determined that the loss of power, and the accident, was caused by the fatigue fracture and separation of the compressor coupling adapter.
The FAA is accepting comments until August 16 on a proposed Airworthiness Directive that would affect as many as 3,572 TFE731-2 and -3 turbofans on U.S.-registered aircraft. If the measure is enacted, the engines' low-pressure turbine stage 1 disks would have to be repetitively checked for fatigue cracks. An estimated 1,900 of those engines would require disk replacement under the proposed AD.
BizJet International of Tulsa, Okla., has announced the operation of its new plasma spray machine. "The new plasma spray system lets us restore engine components damaged by corrosion and worn by normal engine operation," said Robert Peters, vice president of engine maintenance. The company is using the new process on Pratt & Whitney Canada, Rolls-Royce, Honeywell and General Electric engine parts.
Rolls-Royce's U.S. branch has acquired the exclusive rights to use a new heat-resistant turbine blade coating invented by Iowa State University. The coating improves the durability and reliability of the ceramic thermal barrier applied to the blades to withstand metal temperatures approaching 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit.
GKN Aerospace is working toward out-of-autoclave processing of carbon-epoxy laminated structures upward of 23 feet long and 275 pounds in weight and has already manufactured components up to 8.2 feet long and weighing 175 pounds in an R&D environment.
The future of composites may lie in carbon nanotubes. Nano composites have already found their way into cars and sports gear, and now specialists in this technology are looking for aerospace applications.
One of the difficulties with natural leather hide is that it doesn't stretch consistently, making it difficult for upholsterers to work and resulting in more loss than desirable during the cutting process. Tapis' new "two-way stretch tapisuede" has a polyester and polyurethane composition and comes in a maximum width of 59 inches and 33-yard rolls. According to the Armonk, N.Y.

How long will they continue to pay Hank Ratner tens of millions of dollars to timeshare his job? Now he'll say "yes Jim" half as often, so contribute that money to feed the hungry. Of course he is still responsible for sitting on his hands at Madison Square Garden, so I suppose he's owed something for that . . .

Sometimes I think to myself, "do I really want to buy another chocolate bar?"
And then I remember that there is a super volcano under Yellowstone that is 40,000 years overdue and when it erupts it could potentially cover most of north America in ash and create a volcanic winter that kills half the worlds population
And I'm like, fuck yeah I want that chocolate bar

Linksys has long been a popular home router brand. The products tend to be simple, durable, well-supported, and at least meet performance expectations. In working with prior Linksys models, we've had few complaints but also not many occasions to gush with praise. Just looking at the WRT610N ($169.99) out of the box, we wondered if things were about to change. This dual-band beauty doesn't seek to distract with fancy LCD displays. Rather, a sleek profile, glossy and rounded like a fine sports car, conveys simple elegance and speed.
There are two kinds of dual-band routers: those that let you connect via 2.4 GHz or 5.0 GHz and those (like the WRT610N) that let you do both simultaneously. Simultaneous dual-band (SDB) doesn't mean you get to bond both radios into one super-fast connection and get a 600 Mb/s router out of two 300 Mb/s functions. However, you can have different clients connecting to whichever frequency is better suited to the occasion. For example, you might want video streaming to a media extender running over 5.0 GHz, since there's likely to be less traffic in this range, while general PC data goes across 2.4. Because of our test environment, we expected to see much faster performance on the 5.0 GHz band, but results showed similar numbers for both bands across several (but not all) tests. Perhaps this is why some people have written off SDB as an unnecessary expense. We disagree. In a setting crowded with 2.4 GHz traffic, having that full performance 5.0 GHz alternative can be a life-saver.
Under its gleaming hood, the WRT610N sports four gigabit Ethernet ports, custom QoS settings according to program and port range, and a single USB port for external storage. With this, you can create rights-based NAS, an FTP server, and a UPnP/DLNA media server. The WRT610N doesn't dazzle with breakthrough features, but it covers all the basics, hits the extra server, QoS, and storage features power users want most, and, as we'll see, has the performance goods that really justify its price tag.
Note: Just days before publication, Cisco unveiled its new E-series routers. The top-end model from this group is the E3000, which, except for a slight cosmetic change and the inclusion of Cisco's Connect software (primarily for guest access and parental control setup), looks to be a complete repeat of the WRT610. In fact, Cisco Connect is simply a spruced up version of the Network Magic Basic software bundled with the WRT610. We can't say for certain that the two models perform identically, but with both featuring six internal antennas in a 2x2 array configuration, an extreme similarity sure wouldn't surprise us.

The testing is flawed in that there could be great variability in adapter performance, as admitted by the author. A true "router" comparison would use a common non-partial built-in Intel wifi link miniPCIe card to isolate router performance. Otherwise, too many variables are introduced. Besides, most ppl buy routers for routers, not in matching pairs since most ppl already own wifi laptops or adapters. Smallnetbuilders tested the Netgear WNDR3700 as one of the best performing routers on the market. Obviously this review unit is hampered by the Netgear adapter.
1Anonymous , April 20, 2010 6:24 AMWhich version of the Linksys WRT610N did you use? V1 or V2?
1deividast , April 20, 2010 6:25 AMI want one of those Linksys I use now WRT54G and it's doing it's job, but it's a bit slow some times then transfering files from notebook to PC
-9vant , April 20, 2010 6:26 AMI'm surprised the 610N won. Without testing, the general consensus is that Linksys sucks except for their WRT54s.

1The Greater Good , April 20, 2010 9:25 AMI will never buy a Linksys again. No 64 bit driver support! What gives?
4cag404 , April 20, 2010 9:44 AMI just replaced my Linksys WRT600N with the Netgear WNDR3700. I have not used the WRT610 that is reviewed here, but I can say that the difference in routers is noticeable. The reason I replaced the router was that the WRT600N was dropping my port settings used to provide remote access to my home server, and I got tired of it. Wanted to try a different router so I went with the Netgear based on a favorable Maximum PC review. Glad I did. It has a snappier feel and I get a stronger signal throughout my two-floor house. The Netgear has not dropped my port settings for my home server yet. Also, I didn't like that fact that Linksys abandoned the WRT600N with no further firmware updates after about the first or second one.
0pato , April 20, 2010 9:45 AMWas the Linksys the V1 or V2 variant?
Which firmware was installed on it?
I have one (V1), but am very unhappy about the signal range! I have it replaced with a WNDR3700 and have now a twice as strong signal as before!
2Anonymous , April 20, 2010 9:55 AMNo D-Link DIR-855, DGL-4500, no Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station?
3Anonymous , April 20, 2010 10:22 AMWould have been nice to see the WAN-LAN throughput/connections as well for wired connections, but I guess all people but me use wireless for everything nowadays...
1opmopadop , April 20, 2010 10:30 AMI use a Linksys WAG160N, it wasnt reviewed here but I wanted to share that it has the same crappy problem of dropping internet connection. The competition can learn alot by making sure their routers dont suck as much as Linksys's do!
1Anonymous , April 20, 2010 11:46 AMLinksys must make an official annoucement/support page about WAG160N, i have two and wired connections can not see wireless ones and vice versa, they even didnt make a firmware for that.
1Stillglade , April 20, 2010 12:12 PMWould be an interesting follow up article to flash the WRT610N with DD-WRT firmware to compare against stock. Basically, answer the question of is it the hardware or the software that makes it so good?
2Zenthar , April 20, 2010 12:22 PMI think Linksys Linksys E series should have been evaluated as well. Assuming a new version would perform at least on-par with the previous one is really bad analysis. There is so many things they could have screwed or even improved (one has to be positive as well).
1Anonymous , April 20, 2010 12:24 PMtried 3 different routers and the linksys was the only one that would not freeze up with NETFLIX streaming from my Samsung Blueray player. Netgear, dlink, and Belkin all froze up after a about 75% of the buffering...requiring a power cycle of the router and the samsung player.
Bit the bullet with the $$ and opted for the Linksys and am very pleased.
-1Anonymous , April 20, 2010 12:28 PMTry TP-Link TL-WR1043ND , it is ~80&
-2cag404 , April 20, 2010 12:40 PMCoriassiNo D-Link DIR-855, DGL-4500, no Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station?
pato, my WRT600N was the v1 variant. I forget the release version of the firmware, but it was the latest version, as Linksys has not released any updates for it in roughly a year (I've had the router since a few months after it was first released). I liked it due to the dual radios, however, but it would drop wireless clients randomly (which was aggravating and required me to reset the router about once every other month) and it would not retain my port forwarding settings for my home server. And I agree with you, signal range was marginal with that router.
0zelannii , April 20, 2010 1:00 PMNo Apple Airport Extreme considered????? Its the stick we measure the rest by in many cases, or at least most other sites do. How did you guys miss this one? Please amend to include the Airport in relation to the rest.
3zelannii , April 20, 2010 1:14 PM1) should have tested both with the "matching" adapter, and also with the generic Intel Wireless N chipset which is what 90% of people likely use (and the AMD equivalent). VERY VERY few people buy the matching adapters, especially if one is built in. It's a STANDARD now, so interoperability with "supported" adapters should not be an issue for the vendor (and if it is, that's actually IMPORTANT)!
2) Should have tested N + G concurrency on 2.4GHz as well as N only on 2.4 + 5GHz concurrency (for devices that had dual radio). This data is important for most people who will run a Wireless N device or two, but likely also have a few smart phones or a game console that only supports 2.4GHz... I know the Airport Extreme currently has a bug making this dog slow, do some of the others?
3) onyl 2 concurrent devices? how about 5 or 6? I regularly have 7 or 8. I notice performance drops off consistently just based on the number of connected devices, even if only one is "in use" actively downloading, and want to know if some routers hold out better with that.
4) no feature comparison chart?
-1pluripotent , April 20, 2010 1:16 PMI bought that linksys and the connection was so unstable that it was totally unusable. After spending way too much time on it, I got the D-link dual band router, the DIR-855. I stream live talks over the router, and using 2.4 GHz, I would have consistent brief signal disconnections every few minutes. 5 GHz solves that problem, but you need a compatible adapter.
How much did you guys test the shareport function? (Not much from what it looks like). The shareport function hooked up to an external hard drive only works if you are transferring a file or two using windows. It totally fails when you try to us it with a 3rd party backup program (such as acrea). I personally haven't tried connecting a printer to shareport. I also couldn't get it to work using eraser (a disk erasing utility. I concluded that it just doesn't work with third party apps. So far, none of the driver, firmware or shareport software updates have fixed this problem.
D-link does have a nice forum on their site where people can post their problems. For fixable problems, other users will helpfully solve your problems. For unsolvable problems (shareport being one of them) the user complaints just keep piling up. Rarely do d-link's own tech support grace the forums. Apparently, D-link is currently collecting all of the shareport grips and cataloging them. Ostensibly, this will result in a fix at some point in the future. Still waiting.

text: October 21, 2009 Philosophy 003 – Moral & Ethics Instructor: John Nale M. Sebastian Escotet Espinoza Similarities and Differences Between Locke's and Hobbes Social Contract Theory In the 1600's the political situation of England was being threatened by the constant changes in political powers. Throughout this period two philosophers, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, argued the reasons and purposes of government and began to establish different theories for the Social Contract known as the Commonwealth. Part of their main argument, was the need of government and how government should be stated. Different points of view and arguments they had to questions such as, why do men join a political society? How did men live before government? What is the purpose of government? What is our property? When are we able to overthrow our current government? In this essay I will explain the similarities and differences between the two schools of thoughts of these two philosophers with respect to their view of the State of Nature. The State of Nature, is, as conceived by both philosophers, the state in which all men naturally exist, the time before any government or commonwealth is created or convened. According to the Hobbesian argument, the State of Nature is an amoral state, where there are no moral or ethic values. There are no laws in this state that rule men and far less a common power to keep individual behavior in order. An important aspect in the Hobbesian State of Nature, is that where he argues "Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind (…)" (H. pg 75). This argument allows us to interpret that men where born as equals with no differences that would change this equality. This view is similar to the Lockean argument where he states that men where born in a "perfect state of freedom and equality." (L. pg 8). Hobbes and Locke, furthermore agree in the freedom of men after their birth, when they argue that there is no person which can control them in such state, for they are free to do what they desire. Our differences begin after this equality and freedom is argued. For Hobbes, this state of equality will bring discord amongst men, however Locke, will argue otherwise. Discord, according to Hobbes, comes from the fact, that since we are all equal, we have the same right to attain that what we desire, however, there will be scarcity, which will create disputes amongst men. This disagreements and believe of scarcity will then derive in the need to "destroy or subdue one another" (H. pg. 75) in order to insure our participation in that we want to obtain and ultimately, insure our self-preservation. Subsequently, this will create a perpetual state of disorder or war, where we fight for those things we believe will be scarce and will be characterized by a continual state of fear of violent death and war. Locke, on the other hand, believes that this equality shall bring peace amongst men. Beyond from the fact that Locke believes that the earth is an abundant provider of good, where nothing will be scarce, Locke argues that equality will not bring war to people because there is a law that will not allow this to become a fight over those things two men desire in common, a Law of Nature. Unlike Hobbes State of Nature, Locke's has a common law for all men, which states "being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his Life, Health, Liberty or Possession," (L. pg. 9) meaning that no one can kill or fight another man for the goods that are common, because we will be breaking the Law of Nature. In spite of the fact that there is a Law that will avoid men from fighting over common goods, some men, will have renounced reason, and will break the Law of Nature. This breaking of the Law of Nature, will unleash a momentary state of war amongst the individual affected, considered by himself to be the victim, and the transgressor of your natural rights. The existence of a Law of Nature in the State of Nature, represents one of the biggest differences between the Hobbesian and Lockean view of the State of Nature. In the Hobbesian State of Nature, men are allowed to do whatever they will to do, as of in the Lockean State of Nature, there is still liberty to do what we will, just as long as it does not break the Law of Nature. Hobbes believes in the "dominion over men being necessary to a man's conservation (…)" (H. pg. 75) meaning that men have to invade and subdue others in order to insure their self-preservation. This, counters the Lockean belief where we have to respect others life and liberty, according to the Law of nature. Another difference we can observe between Hobbes and Locke's view of the State of Nature, refers to the common wealth. Even though, both philosophers concur that self-preservation is the most significant commodity in the State of Nature, Locke adds to it the preservation of the rest of mankind. Locke believes that men are to have amongst its priorities the preservation of all mankind while in the State of Nature. This argument will be the foundation to the obligation that Locke gives men in which we are to punish, with slavery or death, those who transgress ones rights and who have renounced reason so they do not transgress the rights of other men. The existence of property in the State of Nature is another significant difference between the Hobbesian and Lockean points of view of the State of Nature. According to Locke, property can be obtained even when the commonwealth is not created, however for Hobbes, there cannot be such thing. For Locke, property is defined as "Whatsoever then he [men] removes out of the state of nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labor with (…)" (L. pg.19). on the other hand we can discern Hobbes view on property when he states that in the State of Nature, where there is continual "war of every man against every man (…) there be no propriety, no dominion, no mine and thine distinct (…)" (H. pg. 78). With this, Hobbes contradicts the Lockean argument that states that man can hold property in the State of Nature and ties directly the need of a government to property in the Hobbesian system. Ultimately, we can determine a clear differences and similarities between the two thinker's points of view concerning the State of Nature. Both Hobbes and Locke argue that men are born in the State of Nature equal and in complete freedom. They also agree that men's most important good is its self-preservation. In respect of the differences between the two thinkers, we can summarize that Hobbes argues that the State of Nature is a state of constant war and fear of violent death, where as Locke states that while in the State of Nature, there could be war, however it is not always occurring. In the Lockean State of Nature, there is a common law for all men, called the Law of Nature, which they are allowed to uphold because the are political individuals, while in the Hobbesian state, there is not such thing as political individualism and there is no Law of Nature to uphold.

just another day of not being rich and famous
- Go to a party and stay sober. Listen to the way your drunk classmates talk when they don't plan to remember tonight when they wake up. Never talk about these experiences, just keep them for yourself.
- Start driving in one direction on the highway after school one day, pretending like you're running away. Blast bad pop music and sing along. Stop in the suburbs when your mom calls you to come home, but buy your little brother a cupcake before you turn back around.
- Kiss your best friend. It doesn't matter what sexuality or gender you are or they are. It doesn't matter if it's a peck or you escalate to tongue. You'll laugh about it later, but it will always make you smile just for the memory.
- Smoke a cigarette. Let it burn your throat. Cough, loudly.
- Take a stand for something you believe in. When half your school laughs at you, take it with pride. Someone agrees, even if they're too scared to say so.
- Make enemies. Make the kind of mistakes that cause your life to implode. Lose everyone and everything to these mistakes. Only when you fall will you find out that you can pick yourself back up.
- Sit on someone's roof and talk for hours. Forget about dinner and tell your origin stories. Let your guard down while the dog barks below. Talk about god. Listen.
- Steal Bourbon from your parents' liquor cabinet and put it in a water bottle beneath your bathroom sink. Spike your tea with it when you think you've hit rock bottom. Pour the whole thing down the drain when it's too strong for you.
- Become a stereotype. Buy a record player and combat boots. Wear all black. Dye your hair bright blue and get your ear pierced three times. Don't care when people laugh at you.
- Make wishes at 11:11. Wear your pajamas backwards in the hopes of a snow day. Look for answers at the bottom of a bottle. Pretend writing things on your arms makes you special. Believe in anything. Believe in everything. Open every book and look around every corner. You'll never look like this or move like this or think like this again. Enjoy it while it lasts or hate every second. But feel. Feel every damn thing.

The Dallas man who admitted to police that he smoked PCP before a crash that killed a little girl and her mother talked exclusively with FOX 4 from jail on Tuesday.
The family of four in the car he hit included two young children.
Christopher Bynum says he blacked out and can't remember what happened before the crash.
He told police at the crash scene that he smoked PCP, but from jail, Bynum says the marijuana he smoked may have been laced with PCP.
Bynum is accused of rear-ending the car carrying a father, mother an 18-month-old girl and 6-month-old boy.
The little girl died in the accident. Her mother died at the hospital early Wednesday morning.
"For that family, I just want to let them know my prayers go for them," said Bynum. "I wish I was dead."
Bynum is charged with intoxication manslaughter.
He says he was on his way to pick up his two young in children in Pleasant Grove.
"I'm very sorry," said Bynum. "Please forgive me. I wish I could take the place of that kid."
Bynum says he doesn't know how he ended up miles away where the crash happened on West Ledbetter Drive near South Polk Street.
"Oak Cliff police do know I have a problem with PCP because, like a year ago, I came to jail by having PCP that's why they kept asking me was I on PCP," said Bynum. "I don't know what I told them."
Police records say Bynum was taken to a hospital, where he was aggressive with doctors and medical staff who remember him saying, "I go some weed and some PCP. I know I shouldn't have hit that, why God why."

Sky Sports understands a host of clubs are eyeing moves for Carlisle defender Lubomir Michalik.
Michalik is out of contract this summer and has yet to agree a new deal at Brunton Park.
The news has alerted a host of clubs to the Slovakian international's possible availability on a free transfer this summer.
Barnsley and League One bound duo Swindon and Crawley Town are thought to be keen on signing the big central defender as they look to bolster their defensive options.
Carlisle would be reluctant to lose Michalik with the 28-year-old establishing himself as a key player in Greg Abbott's side since his arrival from Leeds in January 2011.

Mediocre 3.0
Charm of the style of the buildings but they need to update and keep it clean.
Completely outdated. I would't have had a problem with that if it was clean. But the room was dirty. The rug had stains that were sticky and I found hairs in my bed, like they hadn't changed the sheets. For---+ it was completely unacceptable.
Good 8.0
Hotel was super super clean. The decor is very old fashion and country. But we found the ' old fashion' to be very charming and different mainly because everything was so clean and well kept. Location is out of the beaten path and grounds are nicely kept
Our room was one if the smallest and could could use a new vanity. Outdoor pool is not very inviting.Location is out of the beaten path( which was a good thing for us!) Loved the mountain view and nice grounds. decor is old fashion but well kept clean and charming . Pool and some of the rooms can use some updates but all very clean. Lobby has a nice fireplace lounge with beautifully country furniture . We called it the 'Bonanza ' room! We were late to have dinner in the hotel but breakfast buffet ( included in the price!) was very generous. overall was a very pleasant please to stay.

After a flurry of free agent signings, the Jaguars roster looks much better than it did a few weeks ago. Dave Cladwell's approach has given the Jaguars flexibility in terms of picking the best fit in the draft rather than needing to force certain positions to fill needs. As a result, this new mock has some tweaks that are a result of the moves made in fee agency.
Round 1 Pick 3
Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville: It's pretty simple in my opinion, if Bridgewater is available at pick 3, we take him to be a franchise QB. Even with the signing of Chad Henne, we know the the QB of the future is still needed. The reason I pick a QB over a DE or WR is due to the idea that it is easier (though no an exact to science) to find these positions in the later rounds than quarterback.
Round 2 Pick 39
Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas: As I made this mock I saw Alfie's right up on free agent centers, so if we do sign a center in free agency this pick would most likely change. Swanson in my opinion is the best center in the draft. I know most readers on this site have their hearts set on Richberg from CSU, but I think Swanson is the guy.
Round 3 Pick 70
Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB, Nebraska: This former WR is the lengthy press corner that fits into the Seahawk-Jaguar scheme so well. Plug him in opposite of Gratz and we should be even more solid on the back end of the defense.
Round 4 Picks 101 & 110
Dakota Dozier, G, Furman: Athletic guard who would work well in a zone blocking scheme. A bit raw, but could realistically start on the right side day one if he can adapt quick enough.
CJ Fiedorowics, TE, Iowa: Another tight end to add to the offense. I like Lewis and Harbor, but we need another TE who could be effective if and when injuries occur.
Round 5 Picks 132, 138, & 147
Daniel McCullers, 1Tech, Tennessee: If there is one spot on the defensive line that seems to be thin(No pun intended) it's the 1 technique. Behind Roy Miller, there is no real depth at the position. McCullers is a house and as much as I dislike him for helping Tennessee spoil my Gamecocks' season. He will be a piece that will improve depth at the position.
Caraun Reid, DT, Princeton: Adding to what will seem to be the strength of our defense, Reid is more of a project but could be an under the radar type pick a few years from now.
Mike Davis, WR, Texas: This seems like a longshot for Davis to fall this far but I'm hoping he does. Would've liked to pick a WR sooner but Davis fits the bill here. If we do sign a receiver in free agency, we can afford to wait until the later rounds anyway.
Round 6 Picks 163 & 189
Dede Lattimore, MLB, USF: Athletic Mike Backer who could contribute on special teams immediately. He has ability but consistency is the issue.
Michael Schofield, G, Michigan: Adding depth to the interior of the line. This would be a pick to help churn out the bottom of the roster.
Round 7 Pick 199
Matt Hazel, WR, Coastal Carolina: Homer Pick. The kid is has a lot of skills. Very productive at the FCS level. If you have ever seen CCU's offense you know how productive he can be. Next Jerome Simpson.
Let the gauntlet begin......now!

14 Responses to "Documentary on the Cydwoq shoe factory"
It's lovely – a trip back in time to when stuff was made by hand in American sweatshops with no safety equipment visible on the workers.
They're made in the city of Burbank, in the county of Los Angeles.
Would that more of us could afford to be fans of beautiful handmade shoes.
It's rare that there is a any sort of positive portrayal of people in the working class doing what millions of us used to do and were seen as a "value". Nowadays the only jobs that seem to warrant anything portrayed in popular visual culture are Cops, Doctors, Lawyers,,,,
Anyways, a beautiful Doc, with music by Ari Balouzian, who has done alot of music for some very cool Shorts..
Forgot to mention that though I dig this Doc, I don't think anyone working at CYDWOQ would ever be able to afford a pair of the products they craft,,, Surprise.
I've heard that complaint — "The people who make Product X can't afford Product X" — fairly often, but I don't entirely understand it. It'd be one thing if they couldn't afford shoes at all, but why should we expect that people assembling luxury goods ought to be wealthy enough to buy them? Particularly since paying them enough for that to happen would presumably drive the cost up and make it unaffordable again.
You say "complaint"– It was just an observation. Certainly, I would not expect anyone mounting diamonds at a De Beers factory to be able to afford a ring they mounted. I would say though (seeing as you brought it up) that the very reason these "luxury goods", as you call them are considered such, is because they are hand crafted and the crafts-people who make them vs their compensated value are a bit out of whack. Unless you are Imelda Marcos , I would not consider a shoe to be a "luxury good". Hell, even as evil as Henry Ford was, at least he paid his workers enough to afford the products they maid. You're logic is exactly why the computer you are viewing this on, and can afford to do so is why the vast majority of workers in China, Viet Nam, Indonesia… are working, literally, as slave laborers and the goods, like CYDWOQ shoes are fabricated wherever Capitalism finds it financially most profitable to do so, despite what in the long run might be in the interest of the producer and consumer.
I bet they can afford them. From the cydwoq website:
"Our factory has seen very little staff turnover since opening in 1996. This is not surprising since Rafi takes great care in selecting new employees. As Factory Manager in addition to Chief Designer, he knows the value of passionate people who believe in the common purpose of producing high-quality, long-lasting products of distinctive design."
Low turnover is a magical thing. You don't get it by paying people less than they are worth. You have to pay them at least as much as they are worth, plus give them a working environment they don't want to leave and reward them further in non-cash ways as well.
As for the value of the shoes, handmade here in the USA is nice, but I'd love to try a pair for work for 30 days before deciding how I feel about them. I walk anywhere from 6-10 miles in a shift, and after 30 days (probably after 3, actually), I'd know whether the shoes are worth anything or not.
Hey, I agree with you. I did not read into their Website, but if I had I would still find it hard to justify paying $500 for a pair of boots. Hey, it was difficult for me to justify paying $150 for my Double HH riding boots,
but I'm glad I've done so as I've had 1 pair that lasted 21 years and am now on my 2nd pair.
21 years?! You should ride more. :-)
Seriously though, it's worth paying good money for good shoes, especially if you plan on wearing them. I love the all-day comfort of Johnston and Murphy's (and they're affordable), and someday I'll have enough set aside for a pair of Allen Edmonds (and they'll be worth it – I tried a pair on at Nordstrom's and I didn't want to take them off).
$500 for a pair of handmade boots is incredibly cheap. $500 for a pair of handmade leather shoes would still be pretty reasonable in my opinion. Bench made shoes are expensive – so much so that I doubted these CYDWOQs were at that price. But looking at the details on the shoes, it doesn't seem to unbelievable.
If you're worried about dropping money on shoes, get ones that can be re-soled. If you take care of them (rotating, trees, polish, etc), getting 20 years out of a pair of shoes is not hard at all.
I work as a glovemaker in southern france and I am so excited to see other artisans and recognize some of the same machines we use . Though the girl on the leather press ( don't know the english name ) should really have her hair tied back.
After reading one of Cory's reviews, I purchased a pair. The shank (middle stiffening bit that helps keep the sole from twisting when you walk) shifted in one of the shoes after 7 months. That's a major problem. The soles are comfortable, but soft, and wear out very, very quickly. Repairs that Cydwoq refused to make when I sent them for service were done by a local cobbler, so I can continue to wear them, albiet for special occasions only, since they're not really everyday wear kind of shoes.
They're stylish, and attractive, but not made to last 20 years. The leather is ho-hum, nothing like a cordovan (which is in the same price ranges). I have Allen Edmunds, Wolverine 1000 Mile and Johnston and Murphy shoes that are not quite as curious and eccentric, but far, far better made, worn every day, polished every month, and lasting year after year.
If you get 20 years out of these, you're not wearing them much, and walking even less.
Nice video but those are a *long* way from being hand made, they're only hand made inasmuch as there are hands operating the machines that make them. When it comes to footwear 'making' is the act of shaping the closed upper on a last and uniting it with the soles. For all the hype about Goodyear welt there is no machine capable of replicating the work of a skilled cordwainer. Glue and cardboard and plastic have no place in a shoe.
If you want to see what real hand made cordwaining looks like, look at Lisa Sorrel's (http://youtu.be/yfanJSNwUuM) or Marcell Msran's (http://youtu.be/hhM8ydArWnM) YouTube channels, or watch the videos of the French boot asker Anthony Delos at work (http://youtu.be/rOR_-S3yYnQ).
There is a series of videos of a Japanese shoemaker working in ways that are at once familiar and very foreign to western cordwainers, they use the same knife for everything where a western maker would use several tools.

With July and August upon us, the editors at ArtAsiaPacific are moving in tandem with these wonderfully languid months. Making the most of this unhurried pace, this issue looks back at some of the important artistic figures and movements from Asia after World War II
It would be easy to mislabel Ei Arakawa as a "Japanese artist." His work See Weeds (2011), for example, features performers who take iconic Gutai paintings mounted on wheeled frames and move them around in unison with music, making them "dance."
The late Montien Boonma (1953–2000) is one of Thailand's best-known artists. Working through sculpture and installation to portray the country's shift from its previous agrarian economy and culture toward industrialization, his practice brought a fresh perspective to modern Thai art.
Desire can be an impish, whimsical affair. The 19th Biennale of Sydney, curated by Juliana Engberg, artistic director of Melbourne's Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, was themed "You Imagine What You Desire,"
"How Green Was My Valley" was a poetic meditation on the backbreaking labor, bittersweet sacrifice and precious pleasures entailed in the Palestinian people's love for their homeland and struggle for its liberation.
Located on a sleepy, residential street in the al-Barsha neighborhood in Dubai, the tan-colored villa that houses the living and working spaces of Hesam Rahmanian and brothers Ramin and Rokni Haerizadeh—long-time friends since their childhood in Iran—appears unassuming.
This past February, a man walked into the Pérez Art Museum Miami and, in an alleged act of protest, grabbed a sculptural work from a pedestal and smashed it to the ground.
What's at stake in the past decade of documentary-based, conceptual practices in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Hooksett eyes pursuing Pinkerton and Manchester school deals
Board member John Lyscars suggested an agreement also be forged with the Manchester School District to promote healthy competition for Hooksett students, and to allow parents and students to pick the high school of their choice.
"I think after the last vote, we really need to start thinking about this as putting together something that would pass on the ballot," Pearl said.
The board agreed to continue the conversation at their next scheduled meeting on July 8.
"I don't have an answer, and I don't know what the right answer is, but I am begging that this board moves a little faster, asks some harder questions, makes some harder choices, some harder decisions," Salvis said. "I think we've come to that point."

My imaginary BFF's book is out! Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi (a.k.a my imaginary BFF) wrote a book called Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way and of course she's making the rounds promoting it. Recently, she was interviewed by Women's Health about her not so glamorous pregnancy moments, which she chronicles in her new book and how she got back into shape after pregnancy 'cause she really got into shape after pregnancy.

Snooki is a tiny little thing, so I'm sure that any extra weight is pretty noticeable on her. In the interview she revealed: "Up until the seventh month I made sure I was eating healthy with salads, veggies...then once I hit the eighth month mark I was like, I feel like a whale anyway, just screw it, so I started eating everything. And that's when I probably gained the most weight."
So how did she lose the weight and get fit post-pregnancy? She started working out with a trainer six weeks after giving birth and says that at first she felt like she was working her "butt off" with no results and then one day the weight just started to drop off.
It's not magic, my friends, getting in shape takes lots of work. Listen to my imaginary BFF Snooki and don't be discouraged if you don't see results right away, keep at it.
Check out how these other celeb moms lost the weight post-pregnancy!
