- You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings as they may turn violent.
- We advise Australians to reconsider their need to travel to regions bordering the Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk, Lugansk and Kharkiv due to the volatile security situation in this area.
- We strongly advise you not to travel to the North Caucasus, in particular the regions of Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, the south-east part of Stavropol bordering Chechnya, Karbardino-Balkaria (including the Elbrus area), and Karachay-Cherkessia because of the high threat of terrorist activity.
- Severe winter weather can disrupt travel in Russia. If you are delayed, you should check when your visa is due to expire and contact local authorities about a visa extension if required.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy

Entry and exit
Australian citizens are required to obtain visas. Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) change regularly. Contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Russia for the most up-to-date information. You should ensure that your visa is accurate (passport number, date of birth, validity) and, if necessary, return it to the Russian Embassy or Consulate which issued it for corrections. It is virtually impossible to amend visa details once you are in Russia.
If you intend to transit through Russia on the way to a third country, you should check transit visa requirements.
When applying for your visa, please note there is a distinction between tourist and visitor visas. A tourist visa is intended for those staying in hotel-type accommodation. Visitor visas apply to those staying privately. If you intend to stay privately, do not apply for a tourist visa.
Failure to leave Russia before your visa expires (even if the date has been incorrectly entered on your visa) will result in significant delays and/or fines on departure and possibly deportation from Russia. An exit visa specifies the visa expiry date and is normally issued with the entry visa. A tourist visa cannot be extended.
All foreign citizens entering Russia are required to fill in a migration card. The entry portion of the card will be retained by Immigration upon arrival. The stamped exit portion of the card must be kept with your passport during your stay in Russia and/or Belarus and submitted to Immigration upon departure. Loss of the exit portion of the card may result in significant delays and fines upon departure. You must complete a new migration card each time you enter Russia, even if you have a multiple entry visa.
A single migration card now covers both Russia and Belarus. If you are travelling directly between Russia and Belarus, the stamped migration card received on entry to the first of the two countries should be retained until you exit the last of the two countries visited.
You must register with the Federal Migration Services within seven working days of arrival in Russia. Most hotels undertake visa registration on behalf of guests. If you are not staying at a hotel, the process of registration can be complex. Those travelling on a visitor-type visa should register at the nearest post office. Those with visas allowing employment should be registered through their employer. A small registration fee will be imposed. Failure to register may result in significant delays and/or fines upon departure.
For passport information for Australian/Russian dual nationals, see the information for dual nationals section above.
You may import up to USD 10,000 (or equivalent) without declaring it. On departure, you may export up to USD 3,000 without declaring it. If you export over USD 3,000 and under USD 10,000, it must be declared. For amounts greater than USD 10,000, proof will be required that it was imported and declared or legally obtained in the country. Customs declarations are only valid when stamped by a customs official.
The importation of electrical and some high technology equipment, for example Global Positioning Systems, is strictly controlled. This extends to the importation of equipment in accompanied baggage, including by business people for demonstration purposes. Certification and approval is required. There are no restrictions on bringing laptop computers for personal use into Russia.
The importation of medication is strictly monitored. Some prescribed drugs are prohibited in the Russian Federation and large amounts of medication may prompt an investigation. Contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Russia for the most up-to-date information.
There are strict regulations covering the export of antiques, artworks (including modern art and posters if they are particularly rare or valuable) and items of historical significance from Russia. An approval from the Ministry of Culture is required for the export of such material and this may be requested at the point of departure. In addition, we recommend you keep receipts of any such purchases in case they are requested when you leave Russia.
Make sure your passport has at least six months validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should carry copies of a recent passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
Safety and security
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Russia because of the threat of terrorist activity, and the level of criminal activity. Pay close attention to your personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks.
There is an ongoing threat of terrorism in Russia. Terrorist attacks have occurred in Russian cities, including Moscow, and are a particular threat in the North Caucasus region. Attacks may also take place in other regions of Russia.
Two separate terrorist incidents occurred in the city of Volgograd in late December 2013. On 29 December at least 16 people were killed in an attack on Volgograd railway station and at least ten people were killed following the bombing of a trolleybus on 30 December.
In planning your activities, consider the kind of places known to be terrorist targets and the level of security provided. Possible targets include public transportation such as subways, trains and buses, airports, commercial and public places such as government buildings, residential complexes, hotels, restaurants, bars, schools, businesses, embassies, places of worship, markets and tourist areas.
A number of planned attacks have been disrupted by security services in recent years, underscoring the continuing interest of terrorists in attacking Russian locations.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Overseas bulletin for more information on terrorism and our General advice to Australian travellers for tips on staying safe overseas.
North Caucasus: Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, the south-east part of Stavropol bordering Chechnya, Karbardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia: We strongly advise you not to travel to the North Caucasus, in particular the regions of Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia, the south-east part of Stavropol bordering Chechnya, Karbardino-Balkaria (including the Elbrus area), and Karachay-Cherkessia because of the high threat of terrorist activity.
If, despite our advice not to travel, you decide to go to this region, you should monitor local conditions through the media and travel operators in advance of your travel.
Tensions in Georgia may also impact security in the area bordering Russia. See our travel advisory for Georgia for details.
Foreign nationals intending to travel to Chechnya and a number of other regions in the North Caucasus must first get permission from the Ministry of Interior.
Civil unrest/political tension
We advise Australians to reconsider their need to travel to regions bordering the Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk, Lugansk and Kharkiv due to the volatile security situation in this area.
The Russian government has declared a state of emergency in nine districts of Rostov Oblast bordering Ukraine. The situation along the border remains unpredictable. Visitors should be aware of the potential for armed clashes or other violence, and the potential for threats to their security along the Russian-Ukraine border.
You should avoid demonstrations and large public gatherings as they may turn violent. Any involvement in unsanctioned demonstrations or protests could lead to arrest.
Racially-motivated assaults continue to occur in Russia, particularly in Moscow and St Petersburg. Attacks are often perpetrated by skinhead groups or ultra-nationalists. There have been several large rallies by nationalists and neo-Nazis to protest against the presence of foreigners (particularly people from Central Asia and the Caucasus region) in Russia. You should avoid any such rallies. If you are of Asian or African descent, you should take extra care.
Petty crime, pick-pocketing and mugging (sometimes committed by groups of children) is common, especially around tourist attractions such as Red Square, the Ismailovsky tourist market and the metro in Moscow and St Petersburg. Care should be taken with your personal belongings.
There is a high incidence of passport theft from foreign tourists.
Scams involving money and valuables apparently dropped by a passer-by are common. The unsuspecting traveller picks up the money to return it to the person and is told that it is not the correct amount. Travellers are advised not to pick up money, not to get involved in disputes with strangers over such incidents and to walk away immediately. Only exchange currency at bank counters. Travellers have become scam victims when trying to exchange money with strangers in the street or in a bank queue.
Assault and robbery occasionally occur in large cities. Tourists have been targeted.
Credit card and ATM fraud occurs. Keep your credit card in sight during transactions.
Travellers have been drugged and robbed while drinking in nightclubs and bars in Moscow or after accepting offers of food, drink or transportation from strangers.
There have been reports of harassment, mistreatment and extortion by police or other local officials.
Bomb explosions and arson attacks, which appear to have criminal motives rather than terrorist ones, have occurred in Moscow and other parts of Russia, particularly at busy markets. These attacks have caused fatalities. The Cherkizovsky/Ismailovsky markets in eastern Moscow, which attract large numbers of Russian and foreign shoppers, have a history of business conflicts including arson. In August 2006, an explosion at this market which killed up to ten people was linked to feuding between rival businesses or gangs.
Some Australian citizens have been defrauded by bogus internet friendship, dating and marriage schemes purportedly operating from Russia. These large-scale, well-organised scams typically result from connections made through internet dating schemes or chat rooms. Once a virtual relationship develops, the Australian citizen is asked by their friend or prospective marriage partner to send money to enable travel to Australia. Once the money has been received, the relationship is usually terminated and any chance of recovering the funds is highly unlikely.
Kidnapping for political, ransom and revenge reasons is common in the Northern Caucasus. In the past, foreigners have been targeted. The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it does not make payments or concessions to kidnappers. The Australian Government considers paying ransoms increases the risk of further kidnappings.
Money and valuables
Before you go, organise a variety of ways to access your money in Russia, such as credit cards, travellers' cheques, cash, debit cards or cash cards. Consult with your bank to find out what is the most appropriate currency to carry and if your ATM card will work in Russia. Because of the risk of crime and ATM fraud we recommend you use ATMs inside bank premises and during business hours only. Travellers' cheques are not widely accepted, even in the main cities of Moscow and St Petersburg, and rarely in the regions.
Make two photocopies of valuable documents such as your passport, tickets, visas and travellers' cheques. Keep one copy with you in a separate place to the original and leave another copy with someone at home.
While travelling, don't carry too much cash and remember that expensive watches, jewellery and cameras may be tempting targets for thieves.
As a sensible precaution against luggage tampering, including theft, lock your luggage. Information on luggage safety is available from Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport. If your passport is lost or stolen overseas, report it online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
You are required to pay an additional fee to have a lost or stolen passport replaced. In some cases, the Australian Government may also restrict the length of validity or type of replacement passports.
Local travel
The Russian government has declared a state of emergency in nine districts of Rostov Oblast bordering Ukraine. The situation along the border remains unpredictable. See our Safety and security: Civil unrest/Political tension information for further information.
Other local travel issues
Some taxis may appear to be official but are not licenced by local authorities. There are reports of extortion and robbery of passengers in unauthorised taxis. Travellers are advised to only use official taxi companies that can be booked by phone or at major hotels and from inside airports. We recommend against flagging taxis down on the street or sharing taxis with strangers. You should negotiate the fare before entering a taxi.
Road users often drive dangerously and erratically. Ice and snow make driving in winter especially hazardous. Road conditions can be poor in rural areas. For further advice, see our road travel page.
Routine police checks in public and tourist spots are common. You should carry with you your passport, originals of the registered visa and migration card. Photocopies are not acceptable. Failure to provide travel documentation can result in detention and/or substantial fines.
Extensive areas of Russia, especially in Siberia and the Russian Far East, are designated closed areas. Foreigners require government permission to enter.
On 1 March 2010, the Verkhny Lars/Darial Gorge border crossing between Russia and Georgia was reopened for the first time since the August 2008 conflict. Limited direct charter flights have also resumed between Russia and Georgia.
Airline safety
Airline and air charter safety and maintenance standards vary throughout the world. It is not known whether maintenance procedures and safety standards on aircraft used on internal flights are always properly observed or whether passengers are covered by airline insurance.
For further information, please refer to our air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
When you are in Russia, be aware that local laws and penalties, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards, do apply to you. If you are arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you but we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.
Information on what Australian consular officers can and cannot do to help Australians in trouble overseas is available from the Consular Services Charter.
It is illegal to photograph military installations and establishments or sites of strategic importance, including airports. There are also restrictions on the use of commercial film, television or camera equipment in public areas, such as Red Square in Moscow. Hand-held home video cameras are permitted.
Penalties for drug offences are severe and include lengthy prison terms served in local jails.
Driving with a blood alcohol level greater than zero is illegal.
Laws banning the "promotion of non-traditional sexual relationships" to minors recently entered into force. It is unclear exactly how these laws will be applied, but the effect is to make the "promotion" to minors of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans relationships illegal in Russia. These laws may affect public expression and assemblies on such issues. A range of penalties apply, including deportation for foreigners.
Australians visiting Russia for the purposes of commissioning commercial surrogacy arrangements should seek independent legal advice before doing so. You should see our Overseas births, adoptions and surrogacies page for further information.
Homosexuality is legal in Russia, but many Russians are socially conservative. Intolerance towards the LGBTI community is common, particularly beyond Moscow and St Petersburg. Violence against LGBTI people has been reported, but it is unlikely foreigners will be targeted unless they are engaged in political activism or are otherwise active in support of LGBTI rights. Public displays of affection by LGBTI people may attract disapproval. See our LGBTI travellers page.
Police can demand to see identification at any time. You should carry your passport at all times, a copy is not accepted. Failure to produce your passport can result in a fine.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years' imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Information for dual nationals
Russia does not recognise dual nationality. This may limit the ability of the Australian Government to provide consular assistance to Australian/Russian dual nationals who are arrested or detained.
Male Russian/Australian dual nationals between the ages of 18 and 27 may be subject to military conscription. Australian/Russian dual nationals should seek advice from the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Russia well in advance of travel.
Australian/Russian dual nationals are required to enter and leave Russia on a valid Russian passport. If the passport expires while they are in Russia, they must obtain a new Russian passport before departing. Australian/Russian dual nationals can also enter Russia on an emergency travel document issued by a Russian embassy or consulate, but they must get a new Russian passport before departure. The process of obtaining a new Russian passport routinely takes several months.
Our Dual nationals page provides further information for dual nationals.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Water-borne, food-borne and other infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS, typhoid, rabies, hepatitis, diphtheria, measles and tuberculosis) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. We advise you to boil all drinking water or drink bottled water, and avoid ice cubes. You should also avoid unpasteurised dairy products, and raw and undercooked food. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Travel in forested areas brings the risk of exposure to tick-borne encephalitis and other tick-borne diseases. Ticks are very common in country areas from spring to autumn. There have been reports of increased incidence of rabies and tick-borne encephalitis in Russia.
Public medical facilities in Russian cities are well below western standards and are extremely basic in rural areas. There are a few international standard private facilities in major cities. These private facilities will require up-front payment or seek confirmation of the patient's level of insurance or obtain a written guarantee of payment prior to treatment. In the event of a serious accident or illness, medical evacuation (at considerable expense) may be necessary.
There is a risk of avian influenza in Russia. See our health page and Avian Influenza bulletin for further information on influenza.

Additional information
Natural disasters, severe weather and climate
Severe winter weather can disrupt travel in Russia. If you are delayed, you should check when your visa is due to expire and contact local authorities about a visa extension if required.
The most common accident likely to befall visitors to Russia during winter is slipping on ice. Take care when walking in snowy/icy conditions, because falls can result in serious damage such as broken bones, back injuries and paralysis.
Every year during winter, a number of people are injured or killed in snow-related accidents. These include falls, traffic accidents, avalanches, snow falling from roofs and prolonged exposure to extreme cold.
During summer, forest and peat fires can occur in Russia including in the Moscow region. Fires in 2010 resulted in widespread destruction of property and loss of life.
The North Caucasus and far eastern region of Russia are subject to earthquakes. An earthquake occurred in Kamchatka in February 2011, there were no casualties or significant damage. All oceanic regions of the world can experience tsunamis. For information on tsunamis, see the Tsunami Awareness brochure.
Information on natural disasters can be obtained from the Humanitarian Early Warning Service. If a natural disaster occurs, follow the advice of local authorities.
For parents
For general information and tips on travelling with children see our Travelling with children page.
Any adult travelling with children may be required to show evidence of parental, custodial and/or access rights, particularly in the case of dual nationals.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Cube I been thinking of this idea all day I went to the Yorkdale mall in Toronto at 3;00pm and I was in the guess store looking at the watches and thought why doesn't Ice Cube have logo watches with his name on it like guess does this is something that would sell very well for men and women is CUBE watches design fashionable to bring attraction to it.
You sell t shirt, music,movies, why not custom brand name watches I think it would a great Market people buy watches for style now instead of keeping time these days.So think about it I know I'll never get a responds back, but this isn't about me it's about making big money in your hand and a tip of something profitable, you have the money and the name to make an idea to come to light.

To all chronic acne sufferers
I just wanted to make a suggestion regarding treating your acne. It's great you are here looking at homeopathy to help you. But whatever is causing the problem to begin with, it might still going on.... I just wanted to share my experience and thoughts in hopes that it helps others.
I have had extremely bad acne in the past, with it flaring up worse at certain times of my life. A few years back I was in India for a few months and while there ran out of shampoo, so bought a local brand which happened to be very strong and sudsy. I broke out badly...but at that time didn't connect it to the shampoo. I saw a dermatologist there, who believed I had allergies to the sun, due to the acne being on my face and upper back. So he prescribed an anti-histamine medicine. I didn't really think the sun was my problem, but I took the medicine and my skin cleared within a day. So I tucked that idea into my head, and now back in the USA, whenever I broke out badly, I took a Benadryl (an anti-histamine) and the acne went away. At that time, I developed a very bad sore throat, and the doctor prescribed what happened to be a sulfa drug to treat it. Within 3 days of taking the sulfa drug medicine, there were pimples (ok, technical term i guess is "hives") all over my body and I was feeling miserable. So I was rushed off to the hospital where they shot me full of anti-histamines to stop what they said was an allergic reaction to the sulfa drugs. It took me a few more months even after all that to FINALLY make the connection that my shampoo and soaps, which contained sodium lauryl suflate, were causing my skin to react with "hives" aka pimples! The Pro Active stuff I was using also contained sulfur in their mask, and always made my skin worse when I used it....so I was finally making these connections. After switching to chemical-free beauty products (I especially avoid sodium lauryl sulfate--its even in toothpastes!!), I rarely break out, and when I do, I can usually trace it to eating enriched bread (enriched with "vitamins" such as iron sulfate).
Moral of the story, while you treat your acne, please take a moment to think about what might be causing it. It's not the bodies natural condition to break out in pimples all the time. It is a sign that the skin, or something internally, is being exposed to some irritant.
I found a great company that makes shampoos/soaps/lotions that are absolutely free of synthetic chemicals, called Aubrey Organics. I use them, they are great. Or you can make your own soaps and beauty products. And there may be other companies that provide similiar products. But always check labels if something claims to be all natural, coz it might still contain harmful chemicals.
Best wishes!
It is clear that you are unaware of homoeopathy and its method.
We are not treating acne as disease but for acne patients very succesfully without any adverse effects.
For example when we treat an acne patient, we will ask many questions regarding his or her emotional state nature,sweat(incresed,decrease,offensive etc),climate relations,nature of skin(dry,oily etc),relation to menses,sun,weather it is indurated or soft,colour,food peculiarities etc,etc. And the prescription is based by all these factors.So we hompaths are not treating acne but acne patients.No soaps,ointments or chemicals. And this method is the most succefull no doubt. So try homoeopathy before you come to a conclusion.
www.pannakkal.com
Agreed with Pannakkal
yes the use of homeopathy can and will cure really bad chronic acne,as it is based on the principles of Herings law of cure (all homeopaths know this and allopaths refuse to follow)
Deep removal of miasmatic predisposition will also be addressed via the proper well indicated homeopathics.
To visit a allopathic dermatologist is only going to suppress the acne,for it to re-appear again and again,to smear topical potion/lotion/shampoo/soaps will only act on surface,no cure or healing comes from this.
Acne is systemic,there is an imbalance deep within,for instance within the 'hormones'.
Homeopathy also addresses the emotional/mental factors of any imbalance this might also be the cause/onset of acne.

I believe you misunderstood my post.
I am saying that the soaps/ointments and so on caused and aggravated my acne, and they should be avoided. Obviously everyone's situation is different, but I believe my acne problem stemmed from sensitivities to the chemicals in the shampoo and soaps I was using.
I agree that homeopathy can treat acne. All I was saying is that the cause of the acne should, if possible, be removed in addition to using homeopathy. Which, in my case, I switched to shampoos/soaps which contain no synthetic chemicals.
Simply put, yes, treat the acne with homeopathy, but at the same time, remove its original cause. Of course if the cause is hormonal, that may not be possible. But if the acne stems from a reaction to chemicals used on the skin, then of course you should stop using those chemicals.
Thanks for your sharing, I have suffered from acne for over a year now, I thought I have food allergy, I elminate all dairy products and gluten from my diet, it seems better, but I still have some acne, they do seem to go away!!!! Have you ever test whether you have food allergy or not? I never thought of chemical reaction could be possible to cause acne, I have acne on face, back and chest!!!!!! I thought hives would be very different from acne..... anyway, I will change my shampoo and soap to organic like you suggested, How long did it take your acne to vanish since you remove all the irritants? How about laundry detergent? Does laundry detergent cause your acne?

American Bankruptcy
Written by:
Prof. Marianne B. Culhane
ABI Robert M. Zinman Scholar-in-Residence
Alexandria, Va.
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear five bankruptcy cases in its upcoming term. Till v. SCS Credit Corp.,
on interest rates for chapter 13 cramdown, was discussed in the July/August issue.1 This month's column covers
whether chapter 7 debtor's counsel may be paid from the estate. Next month, we will address whether the filing
deadline for objection to discharge may be waived by the debtor.2 We will also look at Yates v. Hendon, on a sole
shareholder as participant in a corporate employee benefit plan, and United States v. Galetti, on enforcing partners'
derivative liability for partnership taxes.3
A 1994 amendment deleted counsel for chapter 7 debtors from Code §330(a)'s list of persons who may be awarded
compensation from the estate. Controversy has raged ever since and divided the circuits as to whether the omission
was an inadvertent error or an intentional change from prior practice. Some chapter 7 counsel rely on retainers to
avoid the problem, but that tactic did not work in a recent Fourth Circuit case. The Supreme Court's grant of
certiorari in the case, Lamie v.United States (In re Equipment Services Inc.),4 should settle the matter.
Petitioner John Lamie, an attorney, was hired to represent debtor Equipment Services Inc. in its chapter 11 case.
Before the case was filed, the debtor gave Lamie a $6000 retainer, which he could draw upon as he performed
services, with any unearned balance to be returned. Lamie prepared and filed the petition, earning $1000
pre-petition, and then represented the debtor in the 11.
Soon, however, the case was converted to chapter 7 on
motion by the U.S. Trustee. Lamie continued work on the case, work which for purposes of appeal is assumed
necessary and beneficial to the estate. Lamie eventually asked the court to approve $1,325 for post-petition chapter
11 work and $1,000 for chapter 7 services. The U.S. Trustee opposed any award for post-conversion work on the
ground that §330(a) "makes no provision for counsel of the debtor to be compensated by the estate." The trustee
took the position that the retainer, to the extent not earned pre-petition, was all property of the estate.
Judge William Stone of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia agreed that §330 does not
allow awards from the estate to chapter 7 debtor's counsel. However, he went on to approve all the requested fees
and expenses, since the retainer was sufficient to cover them. In Judge Stone's view, the retainer was property of the
attorney, with the estate's interest limited to any balance after the attorney had been paid for all services and
expenses under §329. On appeal, District Judge James Jones affirmed.
On appeal to the Fourth Circuit, Judges Niemeyer and Williams affirmed the holding that §330(a) does not allow
compensation for chapter 7 debtor's counsel from estate property. They overruled the lower courts on the retainer,
however, holding that once the case was filed, this retainer became estate property. On that ground, they reversed the
allowance of compensation for Lamie's chapter 7 services. Circuit Judge Michael concurred that the retainer was
property of the estate, but dissented from the majority's reading of §330(a). Judge Michael said 1994 statutory
change was a drafting error that should not prevent payment of chapter 7 debtor's counsel from the estate.
The Fourth Circuit's majority opinion recognizes that the Second, Third and Ninth Circuits all hold the omission
of chapter 7 debtor's counsel from §330(a) to be an inadvertent drafting error.5 However, that was insufficient to
overcome the plain language of the statute, Congress's failure to amend the section and arguments that in chapter 7,
unlike chapters 11, 12 and 13, "debtors and creditors do not act like a team," and that Congress had good reason to
refuse to compensate chapter 7 debtor's counsel from the estate. The Fourth Circuit, then, lines up with the Fifth
and Eleventh Circuits on this question.6
The Fourth Circuit's views on the retainer are interesting. The whole panel agreed the retainer in question was
property of the estate. However, that outcome depended on state law of contracts and the agreement creating the
retainer. If a retainer is paid simply to ensure counsel's availability, whether or not services are performed, or is
pre-payment of a flat fee for all future services, then the panel said the attorney takes title to it as soon as it is paid.
In such a case, counsel's entitlement to the retainer in bankruptcy would be determined under §329, not §330 If, as
in Lamie's case, the retainer is instead held in trust as security for future fees, it remains property of the client until
a bankruptcy petition makes it estate property, and counsel's claims to payment from it are subject to §330
standards. The court noted that Virginia's attorney disciplinary rules required a trust type retainer. Characterization
of the retainer is not at issue in the Supreme Court.
Lamie's Supreme Court brief begins by pointing out that a chapter 7 debtor has an array of duties under the Code
that require competent counsel, but the debtor lacks money to pay because its assets are property of the estate.7
Congress recognizes that counsel will seldom serve if they cannot be paid. Since 1898, Congress permitted paying
debtor's counsel from the estate for services that benefit the estate, and the 1994 amendments, he argues, were not
intended to change that practice. Instead, a scrivener's error inadvertently omitted key language, making §330(a)
ambiguous and internally inconsistent in that it lists "attorneys" as providers of potentially compensable services,
but omits them from a conjoined list of persons in fact entitled to an award from the estate.
These defects, Lamie argues, justify looking beyond §330(a)'s not-so-plain language to seek Congressional intent in
related Code provisions, legislative history, prior practice and sound bankruptcy policy. He points to §§330(a)(5)
and 331, authorizing interim compensation for debtor's counsel, as being in conflict with the Fourth Circuit's
reading of §330(a). In the legislative history, he finds no clear evidence that Congress intended to depart from the
long-standing prior practice of paying debtor's counsel from the chapter 7 estate. Further, he ascribes Congress'
failure to enact any of several bills that would have corrected this technical error to likely objections to other
provisions bundled into those bills. He points out that a restrictive reading of §330(a) may discourage debtor
representation not only in chapter 7 but also in chapter 11s for fear of conversion or appointment of a trustee in the
Respondent United States argues that §330(a)'s plain language is not ambiguous and could be disregarded only if
Lamie proved not only an unquestionable scrivener's error but also that enforcing the text as written would produce
absurd results. The United States quotes Justice Kennedy's concurrence in United States. v. Granderson, "It is
beyond our province to rescue Congress from its drafting errors, and to provide for what we might think...is the
preferred result."8 The brief urges extra caution because Congress has enacted several bankruptcy bills since 1994
without correcting the alleged scrivener's error.
Next, the United States argues that Congress had sound reasons for deleting debtor's counsel from §330(a)'s list.
First, in 96 percent of chapter 7 cases, there are no estate dollars from which to pay counsel. Second, chapter 7
debtors "play very little role in the administration of the estate, and their counsel should not be paid from it."
Chapter 7 debtors can pay for representation as they usually do, via "a pre-petition flat fee or...post-petition income,
or both." This distinguishes chapter 7 from chapters 11, 12 and 13, where post-petition income is property of the
estate. Debtor's counsel in chapters 12 and 13 are expressly entitled to compensation under §330(a)(4)(B). Further,
the brief cites legislative history indicating that the 1994 changes were intended to influence debtors and their
counsel to choose chapter 13. Lamie's fears for chapter 11 counsel are unfounded, it argues, as they may protect
themselves from working for free post-conversion by limiting in advance "the scope of the representation
to...services for the chapter 11 debtor-in-possession" with court approval under §327(a).

other causes of action, counsel for debtor's knowledge of the business
could aid the trustee in pursuing those assets. Return to article

Are you a person with diabetes who has a BFF also living with diabetes?
(BFF = "Best friends forever," for those who didn't grow up with texting vernacular.)
And do the two of you want to share blood sugars, and other highs and lows of living with diabetes?
Well, now there's an app for that. It's called "Diabesties," as in best friends with diabetes, and it's a new creation from the College Diabetes Network (CDN), which facilitates groups at colleges, universities and some high schools for students with diabetes. (We introduced them a while back.)
The new "Diabesties" app is expected to debut in the iTunes store sometime this week, and it's the brainchild of Jo Treitman in Massachusetts, a fellow type 1 diagnosed at the end of her freshman year of high school in 2004.
While attending local Wellesley College in winter 2011, Jo came up with the concept with two of her D-peeps on campus, Natalie Benjamin and Sam (Samantha) Grossmith. They became the first "diabesties," not only sharing the college life experience but also holding each other accountable to healthy D-lives on campus. They did this by exchanging text messages with their blood sugar numbers or simply connecting over having a rough D-day or if one of them need help with supplies.
That idea grew beyond the trio, with more PWD students sending instant messages and texts encouraging friends to check their blood sugar, and flagging any issues for each other, until a campus-wide D-Community of support emerged.
Jo, Natalie and Sam then created a Facebook page called Diabesties (currently at 365 members) and added every young adult they knew living with type 1. The Facebook group allowed PWDs to connect with a "diabestie" and start texting and interacting.
After graduating, Jo joined CDN, where she now serves as program director along with founder and president Christina Roth. In the meantime, Jo's been working to further develop the "Diabesties" concept, and the result is this new app that CDN created along with social gaming company Ayogo (you may recognize them as developers of the Diabetes Hands Foundation's HealthSeeker game and app and SisterMatch for Diabetes Sisters).
Now, once users have found their diabesties, they can send blood sugar numbers and messages through the app, bypassing regular texting fees that would normally apply. All the BG data points and messages sent can also be logged into the cloud, for later access.
"Let's face it, there's something special about talking to another person with diabetes, who also deals with it every day, and just 'gets' it. As you get older, you don't want parents telling you what to do, so finding a 'diabestie' provides the peer support that
you actually want, and will actually listen to," a CDN statement says about the app.
The app will actually be free to users, and it's being paid for by third parties interested in funding the project!
Michael Fergusson, Ayogo's founder and CEO, offered some detail on how his company works with non-profits like CDN: "Ayogo has a social gamification platform, which we use as the foundation for a number of health-related projects, including several in the diabetes space. All of these applications are intended to be, and to remain, free to the end users. How we find the money to develop and operate these apps is through sponsorships, grants, and research funds that we procure to support our platform. This lets us effectively give our services to organizations like CDN, whom we are very proud to be able to support."
While it's been developed with students in mind, the app could in theory be used for anyone of any age with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, as well as in a way that non-D friends could get a snapshot of how a D-friend is doing — if so desired.
"These messages allow each diabestie to receive real-time peer support and troubleshooting so they never feel alone with their diabetes," the news release says.
Not feeling alone is always a value-add, in our book.

OKLAHOMA CITY, February 19, 2013—As WWE would call it, LeBron James "went heel." It wasn't always that way.
LeBron started out the golden boy as a high school superstar, who was the first overall pick in the draft and lived up to expectations. He was drafted by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, took them to the Finals, won MVPs, and became the best basketball player in the world.
Then his contract was up and he turned down an extension from Cleveland to join the Miami Heat with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The city of Cleveland extended their collective hands and LeBron hit them with a chair shot.
He embraced his new role. He was the villain. Now he was hated, no longer the face of the NBA. LeBron, Wade and Bosh, all three had a pep rally where LeBron famously touted the huge number of championships they would win all before they had played even one game.
Where LeBron used to dance in blowout games and take fake-posed pictures with his teammates before games, he would now play with a scowl.
When the Heat faced the Mavericks in his first year in Miami in the NBA Finals the world rooted against him. How dare he do what he did?
In last year's Finals, a poll ran on espn.com: Who are you rooting to win the championship? The map of the U.S. was entirely for the Thunder except for Florida and the state of Washington.
LeBron and the Heat won the championship in 2012 and then something happened. Suddenly that weight was off his shoulders and he was having fun again. In WWE terms, he became a face.
Now you don't just get to decide that you are now a good guy, the fans have to embrace it. There have been plenty of faces in WWE history that had to change because the fans hated them: two examples being The Rock and eventually Hulk Hogan.
But look at what LeBron has done this year. First off, his basketball is off the charts. As good as he was last year, he might be better this year. He's the first player in history to score 30 points or more while shooting over 60% from the floor for five straight games.
It's off the court, too. A fan shoots a half-court shot to win $75,000 and gets unsuspectingly tackled by LeBron in celebration. In a game last week, the ball went into the stands where LeBron played catch with the fan wearing his jersey. In Oklahoma City, LeBron spent several minutes after the game signing autographs on his way off the court. Nobody does that, especially superstars.
You may not like what he did. Most would agree his "decision" was handled pretty poorly, but outside of Cavs fans how could you not love what he's currently doing? He's the best basketball player on the planet while winning and he's embracing it with the fans.
Even if you still hate him, you can't help but give a slight smile when you see this stuff. None of it seems contrived, it seems like it's just LeBron being LeBron.
But anyone that has watched wrestling knows not to get sucked in too much. LeBron's a free agent in 2014. Watch out for the chair!

As funny as it is, is it right to mock others no matter how deviant they may be? It's something I've always wondered about.O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allâh as just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do. (Al-Mā'idah: 8)

Ibrahim Qashoush (died 4 July 2011) was a fireman and amateur poet from Hama, Syria.
During the 2011 Syrian uprising, Qashoush was noted for singing and authoring songs mocking Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and the ruling Ba'ath party. The protest anthem, "Come on, Bashar, time to leave", is attributed to him.
On 4 July 2011, Qashoush was found dead in the Orontes River, his throat cut and his vocal cords ripped out. After his murder, fellow protesters hailed Qashoush as the "nightingale of the revolution".

Smallness and atmosphere are there, walking distance to places of interest and restaurants. Spacious room with high ceiling (the top floor).
Paper thin walls - one hears every sound from the neighbors and from the street. The room is plain like a hospital. The pillows are a disaster (we were given extra pillows, it helped 20%). Price/quality is mere robbery.
Breakfast was nice, I loved my room, and I thought the location was great, I really enjoyed my stay in bordeaux :)
No security No windows Could not get into the shower - door built for midgets Uncomfortable bed Did not feel clean TAP DRIPPED ALL NIGHT!
Very pleasant, helpful young people running it. Very clean, non-luxurious. Reasonable breakfast included. Good setting on quiet side-street, near excellent small restaurants, north of city centre. 5-10 minutes walk from Place Gambetta & tram stop. 10-15 minutes walk from tourist office, Grand Theatre, or from Cathedral.
Bathroom door didn't close. Otherwise everything worked (although shower splashed over floor when on upper setting).
Location and friendly staff
The check in on sunday afternoon afternoon was complicated, email with acess code came too late and no english speaking staff
The Staff was friendly and helpful The location was great
Internet connection was very poor Thin walls - very noisy No window in the room No air conditioning The continental breakfast is not worth getting up for The door to the room was not sealed allowing mosquitos and tobacco smoke to enter the room The lighting in the room was very poor The phone connection in the room was very poor
very friendly staff and location is very good, easy to reach anywhere.
Location, fast wifi.
It's quite quaint and unusual. And it was in a non touristy but central part of town. Very large room. Good wifi. Balcony!
It is a bit run down and the walls are paper thin. No croissants for breakfast! Although it is free, so can't complain too much.
good located, comfortable beds, roomsize ok, big bathroom, friendly staff
very noisy because of the thin walls, no door to the bathroom (only swing door), needs to be renovated, small breakfast (but included)
Good value for money.
Reception desk manned only during specific hours.
The hotel is close to the center, the coffee was good.
The curly dust under the bed, no cheese for breakfast in France!
Close to the centre
Hotel looked very tired. Poor decor, paint peeling from ceiling, loose sink in bathroom. Needs a refurbishment programme.
I had a fantastic stay staff were very friendly and the breakfast was great. For the price I really couldnt complain!
The lockation
It was a little old,the breakfast
Good location. Friendly staff No lift advised to travel light. Free breakfast not great but enough before lunch. Near to train station and tourist information office.

Bluebird Theatre
16 N. Sycamore Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 7 comments
The Bluebird Theatre in Petersburg was designed by architect Fred A. Bishop, according to a partial list of his works that appeared in the October 25, 1930, issue of Exhibitors Herald-World.
The Bluebird was a long, narrow theatre and it played first-run movies. It had two aisles with three seats on each side section and six across the middle. The fire exit was on the right side at the front of the auditorium and there was a blue neon clock at the back. It had stage curtains, a curved CinemaScope screen in the correct aspect ratio, and a balcony. The concession stand was on the left side of the lobby as you entered. The box office was out in front and not attached. The theater did a very good business, but it closed because Neighborhood Theatres, Inc. lost the lease on the building. The Palace Theatre down the street took over its role as a first-run theatre and was renamed the New Bluebird.
My grandmother was the manager at the Bluebird during the 70's and early 80's. I remember seeing Piranha there and a few spaghetti westerns among others since I was able to get in free. They mostly showed exploitation films, B movies and a lot of black exploitation films during the 70's (Shaft, Superfly, Blackula etc.) The clientele at that time were largely students from VSU. They may have shown XXX films during the 80's but I can't remember since my grandmother left and went to the Walnut Mall theater. It has since been restored but not into a cinema to my knowlege.
16N sycamore street petersburg. old bluebird is up for sale.
great building to restore. great look and style.
if someone wants save a land mark.
roof and floor damage
Thanks oldtown.
bluebird at 16N. Sycamore street had been a billards parlor during the early 1900
hi, just wanted to add a few things on bluebird.
the businesses on north sycamore street seemed to have migrated north,south and back north. so bluebird did move as well as a few others. the newer bluebird 143N. sycamore street was a triple xxx in the 1980s.
the original bluebird was at 16N.sycamore street and was last used as a hair braiding. it was condemned about 5 months ago after the back roof fell in as well as some back structure damage. it has now been bought and the owner said some of the interior was still in tact from the theater. the hair shop walled off the back. and the back roof fell in. original tin on ceiling, 18 foot ceilings covered and lowered.
i have viewed both buildings and hope to take pics soon.
new bluebird at 143N. was palace. new owners found palace sign behind bluebird sign and has both inside on display.
they gutted the inside and have rebuilt it as a live theater used for party's and events. yellow interior with upper and lower balcony.
beutiful inside. blubird sign outside on markee is not the original.
original is safe inside.
sycamore street had bluebird,rex,palace and century all within a few blocks. most buildings date 1860-1863
i purchased a newer building the only 1 story built 1955. tony's
i can be reached at
their are 2 pictures floating around on bluebird on the web.

|Named in 1813 by Johann Friedrich Ludwig Hausmann from the greek λειμωυ for meadow alluding to its common occurrences in bogs.
Currently used for unidentified massive hydroxides and oxides of iron, with no visible crystals, and a yellow-brown streak. 'Limonite' is most commonly the mineral species goethite, but can also consist of varying proportions of maghemite, hematite, lepidocrocite, hisingerite, pitticite, jarosite group species, etc.
Classification of Limonite
|IMA status:
|Not Approved
|Explanation of status:
|It is a generic term used for undifferentiated hydrated iron oxides - often hydrated goethite.

Please feel free to link to this page.
Occurrences of Limonite
|Geological Setting:
|A very common material in the oxidized zones of iron-bearing deposits, it is produced by the decomposition of many iron minerals, particularly pyrite, with water being retained in varying amounts.
Physical Properties of Limonite
|Diaphaneity (Transparency):
|Light brown to brown, may be yellowish-brown
|Yellowish brown to red
|Hardness (Mohs):
|4 - 5½
|Massive may be very soft.
|Density (measured):
|2.7 - 4.3 g/cm3
Crystallography of Limonite
|While "limonite" is amorphous, a number of minerals are noted for decomposing to it without losing their crystal shape - particularly pyrite crystals. Any "crystals" of "limonite" are actually pseudomorphs of other minerals which have decomposed in this fashion.
Chemical Properties of Limonite
|Simplified for copy/paste:
|Essential elements:
|Fe, H, O
|All elements listed in formula:
|Fe, H, O
|Analytical Data:
|While a "generic" formula is often given as stated here, "limonite" is really quite variable in composition - both in its levels of hydration and hydroxylation and in its cationic content. There really is no formual for it...

WE DO KNOW READING is not always believing but knowing how to read empowers the individual to make critical decisions, change behaviors and inspire the imagination. With a population that is becoming increasingly illiterate, symbols, signs and other forms of visual communication are meaningless. The arts address metaphor, analogy, simile, irony and wit but these offer no context for those who cannot read. Reading helps in mental development and is known to stimulate the muscles of the eyes. Reading is an activity that involves greater levels of concentration and adds to the conversational skills of the reader. It is an indulgence that enhances the knowledge acquired, consistently. The act of training young children to read is a celebratory experience, sensitive parents who interact with their children transform reading into an emotional and intellectual experience. Reading is a constructive act, John Berger said, When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own. National Institute for Literacy

One Night with the King Blu-ray Review
Queen Esther and her hunk, a hunk of burning love.
Reviewed by Casey Broadwater, March 27, 2013
With the new History Channel miniseries The Bible tearing up the Sunday night TV ratings charts, now seems like an appropriate time to talk about another religious epic, released in theaters in 2006 and making its Blu-ray debut this month: One Night with the King, the story of Queen Esther's foiling of a plot to slay all of ancient Persia's Jews. Bankrolled by the evangelical Trinity Broadcasting Network and produced by TBN heir Matthew Crouch, founder of the impossible-to-pronounce Gener8Xion Entertainmentthe Christian media company best known for 1999's antichrist- sploitation movie The Omega Codethe film is a not-so-successful attempt to recapture the grandeur and narrative power of Hollywoood's biblical adaptations from the 1950s and '60s. The Ten Commandments. The Greatest Story Ever Told. Ben Hur. The Robe. These are synonymous with "spectacle" and "lavish" and "crowds of thousands," and One Night with the King at least gets that side of the equation right, shot colorfully in India with ornate costumes and scores of local extras. Where it falls short, though, is its muddled storytelling and uneven acting, both made more tedious by the script's insistence on having the characters speak in almost comically awkward King James-style language.
One Night with the King's big pitch at the time of its theatrical release was its casting coup of featuring Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif, appearing together in a film for the first time since Lawrence of Arabia. Well, not together, exactly, since they don't share any scenes. Also, appearing is a good word for both O'Toole's blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo as the prophet Samuel and Sharif's slightly larger but rather inconsequential part as the loyal royal advisor, Memucan. Their names are emblazoned on the cover art, but you get the feeling they're only here to give the movie some mainstream legitimacy.
The real star is occasional TV actress Tiffany Dupont as the beautiful Hadassah, a Jewish orphan raised in Susathe Persian capitalby her older cousin Mordecai (The Lord of the Rings' John Rhys-Davies), a court scribe. They generally downplay their Jewish identity in fear of persecution, and Hadassah dreams of traveling by caravan to Jerusalem, where she can start a new life and be herself, possibly with her friend-zoned best pal Jesse (Jonah Lotan). She has a higher destiny, however, which is set into motion when King Xerxes (Luke Goss) is pressured into having his queen (Jotyi Dogra) banished after she holds a feast to protest his upcoming war with the Greeks. To find a replacement bride, Xerxes has his chief eunuch, Hegai (Tommy Lister Jr.), round up a harem's worth of local women, put them through a beautification regimen, and slowly weed through them until only the most worthy is left.
As portrayed in the film, this winnowing is basically a 5th century BC version of The Bachelor, with Hegai as the Chris Harrison-style host, the kidnapped women as nervous contestantsoh look, one puked in front of the king! another can't ride a horse!and Xerxes as the hopeful future husband, handing out jewelry in lieu of roses. The girls are even given the titular "one night with the king," the equivalent of a one-on-one, let's really get to know each other date. Hadassah is among the captured potential brides, of course, and she changes her name to the more Babylonian-sounding Esther in order to fit in and hide her Jewishness. She soon wins the king's hearthe's intrigued when she reads him the Old Testament love story of Jacob and Racheland they're happily wed in a posh ceremony atop raked-out piles of marigold petals. Never mind that there's no hint of real romantic passion whatsoever in the actual biblical version of the story, althoughto be fairOne Night With the King does stick fairly closely to the text in most other regards.
If the first half of the film is an unlikely romance, the second half is a convoluted political thriller of quickly flagging interest. Fringe's John Noble plays Admatha, a manipulative regent conspiring to usurp the throne with the help of the movie's real villain, Haman the Agagite (James Callis), an evil vizier who hopes to settle an ancient blood feud by murdering all of Persia's Jews. He justifies this plan to Xerxes by saying they can use dead Jews' possessions to fund the war effortwhich sounds uncomfortably familiar, right?and the conflicted king might've approved the drastic measures if not for the brave intervention of Esther, who risks her life to save her people.
The problem with One Night with the King is not that the biblical story itself isn't captivating, but that the way it's told here isn't, with belabored twists, long stretches of obtuse dialogue, and the tries-too-hard hokeyness that sometimes suffuses entertainment aimed at predominantly Christian audiences. Let's be honest, for every Shadowlands or The Apostle, there are scores of sentiment-over-substance doozies like Fireproof, the Left Behind series, and Faith Like Potatoes. There's also the issue of the cast. While John Rhys-Davies and Omar Sharifin his little partare excellent, most of the other performances are weak. Luke Goss makes a dopey Xerxescouldn't they have gotten someone who looks a bit more genuinely Persian?and Tiffany Dupont brings too much whimsy and not enough strength to the role of Esther, one of the Bible's most memorable female heroes.
One Night with the King Blu-ray, Video Quality
One Night with the King makes its Blu-ray debut with a generally strong 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer, framed in the proper 2.35:1 aspect ratio and placed with no real evidence of compression on a single-layer, 25GB disc. Shot on 35mm, the movie's grain pattern and natural filmic look is preserved here, untouched by digital noise reduction, edge enhancement, or other types of filtering. If you get close to your screenparticularly if you have a larger oneyou may notice some occasional white specks on the print, but from a normal viewing distance these aren't really visible. Besides a few periodic soft shots, clarity is excellent, with the various hand-woven fabrics, intricate jewelries, and pieces of armor revealing fine detail and texture in nearly every frame. Color is nicely graded toodense, with good contrastand shooting the film in India seems to have inspired the visual palette, which is rich with golds and vibrant floral hues. The CGI can sometimes look cheap, and the decision to put some 24fps footage into slow motion for key scenes results in flicker and choppiness, but otherwise there aren't any substantive complaints to level at the picture quality.
One Night with the King Blu-ray, Audio Quality
I wasn't expecting it, but I was occasionally impressed by One Night with the King's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 sound track, which features some surprisingly decent sound design. What could've easily been a thin, front-heavy experience is actually quite immersive at times, especially whenever there's a lot of action occurring onscreen. Horses' hooves thunder through the rear channels. Rain pours and thunder reverberates. Swords clang and arrows zip to and fro. In the quieter scenes, you'll often hear appreciable low-level ambience in the surrounds, from wind and birds and insect sounds to the atmospherics of a royal feast. The film's Middle Eastern-tinged orchestral score floods the soundfield as called for, and the music is clear and tight and anchored by strong bass. On top of all this, dialogue is always cleanly recorded and easily understood. (Although the mishmash of accents from British to American to Persianis weird, and doesn't quite work as well as it did in, say, Valkyrie). The disc includes optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles, which appear in crisp white lettering inside the frame.
One Night with the King Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
The only extra on the disc is a new audio commentaryrecorded in 2012featuring screenwriter Stephan Blinn and producers Matthew Crouch and Richard Cook, who collectively describe the film's production as "a miracle."
One Night with the King Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
One Night with the King has the look of a large-scale biblical epicwhich is genuinely impressive considering its relatively small budgetbut its storytelling lacks clarity and the shortcomings of the script are amplified by a few weak performances. They can't all be The Passion of the Christ. Still, I know some audiencesnamely, church women's ministrieshave latched onto the film for its positive portrayal of a female biblical role model, and fans should be glad to see the movie finally get the high definition treatment. Minus a few specks and flecks, 20th Century Fox's transfer is solid, and the disc includes a decent new audio commentary about the making of the film.

Upcoming Engagements
- United States Student Association Legislative Conference, Washington, DC, March 14-17. I'll be speaking on the history of the state student association movement in the US since 1960 and facilitating a discussion on the role of white students in anti-racist organizing.
Recent Talks
- Keynote speech, Connecticut Students Organization. I spoke on the importance of statewide student associations in American student activism, and about some of the pitfalls such groups face when they're getting organized.
- Lecture, BHQFU, New York City. I discussed the roots of contemporary student organizing struggles in the higher education transformations of the 1970s and the neglected but transformative campus activist movements of that decade.
- Panel discussion, CUNY Student Summit. I joined a group of past and present student organizers from across New York to talking about the history of activism in the state and its relevance to the organizers of today.
Booking Me to Speak
I speak frequently on campuses and at conferences on the history of student activism and student government, on the state of the American student movement today, and on how students can organize more effectively to win concrete victories and grow their movements.
If you're interested in bringing me to your campus or event but aren't sure how to go about it, I've put together a step-by-step guide that I'm happy to send you by email.

Mixing up all the seasons...
Then Hubby built a fire in the fireplace and we promptly sat down in front of it and kept adding more wood. It was heaven. But no more decorating was done.
So what do I do? Go on PINTEREST of course and start pinning more ideas for CHRISTMAS. By Christmas I am sure I will be completely focus on Easter. Anyone else have this little issue I have been perfecting for years and years?
