Ha! The no. 2 killer of women made me chuckle! I hope you don't slip... at least not with a lens and your camera in hand! eek!
The red and yellow is so cheerful and I like how the gray anchors the entire look.

Why am I shouting? I don't know. Maybe because you're RIDICULOUSLY fierce. Maybe.
But yeah, I absolutely love this look. The patterns work so well. I mean, seriously. You cannot go wrong with polka dots.
Have a red-tastic (hah) week!

Oh, I love the polka dots with the argyles! Take care walking on ice.

Oh so so so cute! Seriously. I forgot how much I liked red and yellow until I saw this :) And grey too. Win!
I hope you're okay, my coworker had to go to the ER today for falling on the ice. And I think I have those bowls in yellow and white.

Those tights are a serious trip. They remind me of Alice in Wonderland. It's good that you can celebrate Go Red for Women Day. I don't own anything red, and I'm not sure why. I think my mother once told me that I don't look good in red, and it's probably the worst advice she's ever given me.

Great way to incorporate red. I almost forgot that it was wear red day yesterday until I turned on the local news and saw all the anchors wearing red of some sort.

I know you like yellow a lot but red also looks fab on you. It makes everything look warm and lovely.

You are so much braver than I for wearing heels in snow and ice at all! I've slipped one too many times, so I rarely venture out in anything but boots.
I love all the patterns and textures you have going on in this outfit, and your cardigan is very cute!

AWE you look like you're about to go on a picnic! In the snow! With your dog (who you are obviously abusing, who would tell their dog to stay?)! You could own little red riding hood any day.
I love love your pattern mixing with the cardigan and tights! You are so bold. :D and my favorite. I LOVE YOUUUU

Aww you look sweet! I think that's a good idea, leaving your wallet at home, I should probably exercise that more often!

The bruised ego is the worst part about the fall for me hehe. Hope you don't have any other falls !
Yesterday I had to walk home from church (about 4 blocks) after pancake breakfast with my 2 year old and 4 year old. I was not prepared. I didn't fall but I was wearing high heel fashion boots ! Plenty of sidewalks were not shoveled and others were so slushy. I am looking forward to April. My favourite season (and my birthday) !!

You look AMAZING in red! Actually, you look amazing in anything. I can't get over how gorgeous you are. I love your beauty mark!
I still live at home, and I'm proud to say my house owns a bowl exactly like that! My parents got married in the late 70's and we still use many of their household wedding gifts, so I guess we have a lot of vintage things!

Yay for red! You look so cute! I'm glad you didn't get hurt from falling, beware of the ice and heels, not the greatest combination. I really like your skirt and earrings...how did you make those earrings? ("Made by Me")
By the way, I was inspired by your yellow week and finally decided to wear something mustard for my latest dolled up post. Thanks for the stylish inspiration.
much love.

What a fun outfit! I especially love the hat...how adorable. I've also been really liking your yellow looks, as it's a color that I enjoy but never seem to wear often.
And careful with those heels! Spring and cute shoes will be here soon, I hope...

<<The point is a good friend would tell you when it is enough. They don't have to do it here and wouldn't expect or want them to do that. It is obvious no one finds a problem with your posts and find it funny to try and humiliate anothea woman who does not put up personal ino on them. Just because someone tells it like it is and is not afraid to, to lose friends, it does not mean they are a horrible person. I've never come on here preaching about doing the right thing and being so involved in helping others. That is called a hypocrite.>>
For someone who claims that this hasn't bothered them, you certainly keep talking about it. I see that you didn't address your own double standard and hypocrisy, why is that?

When the pictures came in, we assessed the threat and dealt with it appropriately. When the other incident occurred, we assessed the threat and dealt with it appropriately....... But no police for an actual threat. Gotcha.
You don't think there is a difference between teenagers and adults? At least with teenagers you can write it off as just not thinking but an adult...that is much more serious and of course the situations are totally different. At least imo.
|Tue, 04-16-2013 - 7:31pm
So you did nothing, is what you are saying. Did anything escalate from the other incident that you found the need to continue to monitor the person and their family, enough that the PD would contact you years later?
Seems you were afraid to handle it head on IRL as you would have to deal with a "real" person, not someone behind a computer.
Tells me A LOT about you.

What is a workflow? In the context of a SharePoint document library, a workflow is an automated process that helps people review a file. You, the person who needs the file reviewed, start the workflow. Then you just sit back, and people are notified automatically to review the file. If they forget, they'll be sent another e-mail. And when everyone's all done, a web page summarizes the workflow and serves as a record of who was involved.
So what exactly do people do when they review the file? That depends on which workflow you choose to run. Click Next to learn more.

|Hi folks,
We had our basement insulated with spray foam (then finished the rest with stud walls and drywall), and looking back it was stupid to have this done in the utility room BECAUSE...
Now we have exposed insulation in a room we did NOT intend to finish. It has taken over a year and all we have financially, ability wise, emotionally, etc. to complete this total DIY project (large basement living room, bathroom, linen closet).
Of course when we had the insulation contractor out they told us it was no problem to leave it exposed, and that if we wanted we could paint it with fire retardant paint if we were concerned. Shame on me for not doing my homework on this; so far, this is our major area of failing to do homework on the DIY project, I am happy to say the rest has gone OK if super long and difficult.
I am now devastated to realize that what we thought would just be a 10x10ish space with furnace, water heater, soil stack, misc utilities, and a little storage might have to be finished because there will be exposed insulation on two of the walls and in the rim joists.
The vents and utilities that cover the ceiling in half the room would make the ceiling height about 6' there, and a nightmare to frame out. This is a 1950s house.
As you can see I am down to my last nerve here on this project :), but really the idea of finishing a whole 'nother room by building stud walls (esp given the challenges of this utilities in this area) and drywalling, AND putting in a drop ceiling around about zillion vents, soil stacks, utilities, pipes, etc. is a nightmare! That's why we weren't finishing it to begin with. If I had only told the contractor NOT to spray foam the area we'd have just paint-sealed the concrete and left it... now I am desperate to come up with something other than a total finish.
Any ideas?
We looked into intumescent flame-retardant paint for just this purpose (over spray foam) and thought this might solve our problem in terms of safety and selling the home in a few years. However, it appears that while this provides an "alternative 15-min fire rated covering" to drywall, it is only approved for non-occupied spaces and utility areas "that are accessed only to service utilities, etc.". Because this is part of our house, even though it's a storage and utility area, I'm concerned that it counts as an "occupied space?" but I might be wrong I have no idea!
If we finish the walls by building stud walls and putting up drywall, the rim joists will still be exposed... I am concerned about safety/fire, homeowner's insurance, and inspection as we won't be living in this home more than 5 more years, maybe a few more.
Here's the best overview I could find (below).
Thanks so much,
Here is a link that might be useful: Spray Foam Ignition Barrier Summary
Follow-Up Postings:
|A 100 sf room accommodating your furnace, water heater, plumbing stacks etc. certainly sounds like a utility room to me. Your local AHJ can tell you for sure.
In a home I built for clients, for the basement they chose to finish the walls only, not the ceiling. I was able to satisfy the inspector on fireproofing by using sprayed plaster. But we're not governed by the IRC.
- Posted by nicoleternity (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 18:28
|Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm glad you're thinking it might be reasonable to qualify as a utility space, that gives me some hope ;).
Forgive my naivete... but it seems like my local AHJ (the city building inspector is who I think we're referring to here, they have a department for this) is going to be unlikely to answer a hypothetical question about a space they've not inspected and an insulation project for which we did not get a permit...? But then again I don't know.
I get the idea of asking them the hypothetical "does all insulation in utility rooms need to be covered with drywall" and "what qualifies as a utility room". It's just that I think they are most likely to tell me they can't answer any questions over the phone, and to apply for a permit, submit the plans as drawn up by a certified person, etc.
Or maybe I am wrong and they do answer questions over the phone? I don't see any hotline info or online FAQs.
And perhaps when I posted most people would assume we have a permit and are having this inspected, and I should have clarified right away:).
Either way, thanks for your feedback, I do really appreciate it!

|For anyone else looking into this, another informative article re: thermal barrier and ignition barrier for spray foam insulation... a good place to start reading.
Here is a link that might be useful: More Information
|"Oh what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive." Sir Walter Scott, 1808
In any case, I'd fireproof it asap. A plumber inadvertently burned just a thumbnail-sized fragment of CCSPF in the house I referred to above and everyone fled from the absolutely sickening and toxic fumes.
- Posted by nicoleternity (My Page) on Wed, May 2, 12 at 18:52
|I agree, for safety I'd like to "fireproof" it ASAP; I am still working on finding out if the intumescent latex coating sold by spray foam manufacturers will be sufficient. I'll keep looking into it!
|"insulation contractor out they told us it was no problem to leave it exposed, and that if we wanted we could paint it with fire retardant paint if we were concerned. "
So paint it now.
- Posted by nicoleternity (My Page) on Thu, May 3, 12 at 10:59
|Thanks Brickeye. I sure wish it was that simple.
Unfortunately, I was stupid to take the contractors word for it. I now know it's a big fire hazard to have it exposed -- and even flame-retardant painted it seems it won't pass inspection when we sell the house, and looks like also an issue for homeowners insurance.
I am still trying to get answers re: local building code, I have left some messages. Also to find out if application of cementitious flame retardant material would do it.

The information on this page is no longer valid. You will find information regarding exchange and internship abroad at your study portal.
News! Study abroad with Erasmus AGAIN
Now there is an opportunity for students to go abroad with Erasmus several times. Within the old Erasmus program you could study abroad with Erasmus only once in your lifetime.
Now you can study abroad for a maximum of 12 months at your Bachelor, a maximum of 12 months at your Master and a maximum of 12 months at Ph.d. level.
The Erasmus programme offers free study placements in other European countries. You can apply for an grant of approximately 250 euros per month while you study abroad. Find out more about the general conditions below:
What requirements must be met by Erasmus applicants?
- You must have studied for at least one year, and sometimes up to three years, before going abroad. Check under your faculty what applies to you.
- The period of study must earn credit and be counted as part of your studies at AU. To be eligible for an Erasmus grant you must have advance approval for a study position corresponding to at least 20 ECTS points per semester
- The exchange must be for a period of between 3 and 12 months
Where can I go?
Erasmus agreements are faculty specific. This means that you study abroad under agreements your institute has established with other European universities. You can find the agreements your particular institute has established in the list of Erasmus agreements.
All agreements have a faculty coordinator at Aarhus University. You should speak to the coordinator if you have questions about the subjects covered by an agreement. It is also a good idea to contact the coordinator before you are determined about a specific destination. You need to have sorted out which destination would be relevant for you and the courses you would like to have.
33 European countries participate in Erasmus. NOTICE that you can not apply for an Erasmus grant when going to Greenland or Faroe Island.
What can I apply for?
You apply for both a free study place at a foreign university and an Erasmus grant at the same time. The size of the grant varies from year to year, but is approx. 250 euros per month.
When and how should I apply?
The deadline is 1st December for the entire subsequent academic year. In other words, you need to apply by 1st December even if you are only travelling the following spring.
The deadline is 15 September for any extra study spots and grant funds from round one.
Please note that you can only select universities which your institute has an agreement with. You are required to submit an pre-approval for the subjects you wish to take at the host university. This pre-approval is required to ensure that your study period abroad can be included as an integrated part of your studies at AU.
Your submitted application must include:
- Application form
- Pre-approval (Apply on the Self Service)
- Academice transcript (from Self Service)
Applications should be sent to:
Trine Høj Eriksen
Internationalt Center
Høegh-Guldbergs gade 4, Bygning 1650
8000 Århus C
When and how will I get an answer to my application?
1) Study place
Following the application deadline, the study places will be assigned by the agreement coordinators. You can expect an answer to your application within 5 weeks from deadline.
It is the duty of your coordinator to notify the foreign university that you have been nominated to a study place. You must apply for final admission to the university yourself.
The host university will normally send you a letter confirming your admission and containing information about courses, accommodation, etc. However, practices among foreign universities vary greatly with respect to accommodation referral and other services provided to Erasmus students. You should direct enquiries to your coordinator, who is the person most familiar with the host university.
Please note that the International Centre does usually not have contact with your host university, only your coordinator or you yourself.
2) The grant
You will receive a contract email from the International Centre prior to commencing studies abroad. Be sure, therefore, to notify the centre if you change e-mail address.
State Education Grant (SU) on exchange
You can receive SU (State Education Grant) while abroad. You must therefore remember to submit a copy of the pre-approval and confirmation of your admission to the foreign university to the SU office.
Upon return
When you return home you must submit a signed Confirmation of Enrolment, a completed evaluation form, a copy of the final Learning Agreement, and documentation for any language courses taken.
The forms must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com
Internationalt Center
Høegh-Guldbergs gade 4, Bygning 1650
8000 Århus C

This month's Update provides the text of the Clinton administration's views on S. 625 as pending on the Senate floor at
press time, as well as excerpts from the debates on the bill. For the full text of the bill, adopted amendments and floor
debate, go to ABI World at http://www.abiworld.org. Congress is scheduled to adjourn during the week of Nov. 15 and
may not reach a vote on passage of the bill before the end of the first session of the 106th Congress. If action is not
completed, the bill can be considered again on the Senate floor in January.
Nov. 8, 1999 (Senate)
S. 625 - Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1999 (Grassley (R) Iowa and eight co-sponsors)
The president supports bankruptcy reform that is balanced, would reduce abuses of the bankruptcy system, and
would require debtors and creditors alike to act responsibly. Last year, the Senate produced such a balanced bill with
overwhelming bipartisan support. The president is disappointed that, this year, the House failed to produce
legislation that he could support. S. 625 reflects some improvements over H.R. 833 as passed by the House. The
administration, however, continues to have serious reservations about S. 625 and strongly opposes some of its
provisions. For example, we are deeply concerned about a provision of the manager's amendment that adds an
important "safe harbor" that protects low-income debtors from motions to deny them access to chapter 7 under the
means test, but also eliminates an essential "safe harbor" that would protect low-income debtors from coercive
creditor motions that might be brought under a vague "totality of the circumstances" test more appropriately
enforced by bankruptcy trustees and courts. The latter protection eliminated by the managers' amendment was
included in the reported version of the Senate bill, the House-passed bill and last year's conference report. The
administration's other objections to this bill are explained in detail in the attachment.
Most of the administration's concerns would be addressed by relevant amendments that the administration
understands will be offered on the Senate floor. The administration's views on the anticipated amendments are also
contained in the attachment. The administration remains hopeful that bipartisan cooperation will result in
responsible bankruptcy legislation that the president can enthusiastically sign.
Finally, the administration understands that certain non-relevant amendments will be offered as well. On Nov. 4,
1999, in a letter to the majority leader, the president made clear that he strongly supports an increase in the
minimum wage of $1 over the next two years; however, if Congress sends him a bill delaying the increase,
repealing overtime protections for certain workers, adding costly and unnecessary tax cuts that threaten fiscal
discipline and direct benefits away from working families, and thwarting ongoing efforts to enforce pension law, he
will veto it.
In addition, the administration strongly opposes the inclusion of an unrelated education amendment, a version of
the Teacher Empowerment Act. When similar legislation passed the House this summer, the president indicated that
he would veto it. The administration's position on this legislation has not changed. The amendment would
eviscerate the class-size reduction program passed on a bipartisan basis last year and replace it with a block grant
that fails to guarantee that any funds will be used to support the crucial work of reducing class sizes in the early
grades. In addition, the block grant does not target funds toward the neediest students and does not include
important provisions to improve teacher quality. If this amendment is attached to S. 625, the president will veto the
The administration opposes the drug-related amendment because it would reduce the current disparity between crack
and powder cocaine sentences solely by increasing powder cocaine penalties dramatically instead of addressing both
crack and powder cocaine penalties. Decreasing the threshold amount of powder cocaine necessary to obtain five- and
10-year mandatory minimum sentences may be counterproductive because it could significantly redirect federal law
enforcement resources from the highest-level offenders. In addition, this amendment would actually exacerbate the
disproportionate impact of cocaine sentencing on minorities because, according to U.S. Sentencing Commission
statistics, approximately 31percent of defendants sentenced at the federal level for powder cocaine offenses in 1998
were African American, 48 percent were Hispanic, and only 19 percent were white.
Detailed Administration Views on S. 625 and Anticipated Floor Amendments
Access to Chapter 7. Any means test used in bankruptcy proceedings should deny access to chapter 7 bankruptcy
procedures only to those debtors who genuinely have the capacity to repay a portion of their debts successfully
under a chapter 13 repayment plan. Debtors who may be denied a discharge of their debts must be given a
meaningful opportunity to have their specific circumstances considered by bankruptcy courts with the authority to
determine whether they genuinely have the capacity to repay a portion of their debts. In its current form, S. 625
would use a relatively inflexible and arbitrary means test to limit access to chapter 7. The administration strongly
opposes this provision.
As reported, S. 625 would apply rough guidelines, developed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax
repayment plans, as standards for determining debtors' ability to repay, with exceptions only for expenses that are
both "reasonable and necessary." While some expense standards should be used to guide the determination of ability
to repay, they should be tailored for bankruptcy. We should not simply import standards that were developed for a
different purposetax collectionand which are applied for that purpose with far more discretion than S. 625
would allow for bankruptcy. We note that the Congress has criticized the IRS for inadequate flexibility in using
these standards for tax collection, yet this bill would use them far more rigidly for bankruptcy purposes. The
administration believes that the IRS expense formulas can be used as a starting point for developing appropriate
bankruptcy guidelines, but that each system would be best served by its own appropriate standards. As House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde has said, the use of IRS guidelines without flexibility "depriv[es]
debtors and their families of the means to pay for their basic needs." As Chairman Hyde noted on the House floor,
"The cost of food in Omaha, Neb., or Boise, Idaho, is different than in downtown Manhattan. So what is realistic
about an inflexible standard?"
The Senate bill creates a largely self-executing mechanism under which elaborate debtor filings will be reviewed by
United States Trustees, who, based on the filings, will file a motion to deny access to chapter 7, if the debtor has
the capacity to repay or her use of chapter 7 is abusive. As modified by the managers' amendment, the bill also
gives creditors the ability to file motions to challenge the debtors' use of chapter 7 as abusive under a vague
"totality of the circumstances" test. Creditor motions alleging abuse could be used by creditors against low- and
moderate-income debtorswho have few resources for legal adviceto coerce or threaten them to forgo their rights.
The bill should provide below-median-income debtors with a "safe harbor" from general abuse motions by creditors,
as well as with the "means-test safe harbor" that the managers' amendment provides. Both are essential.
Finally, since the bill as amended by the managers' amendment precludes any party from filing a §707(b) motion
alleging that a below-median-income debtor has the capacity to repay under the means test, there is no justification
for requiring that these debtors fulfill the elaborate means-test paperwork requirements. The courts will bear
unnecessary costs for collection and storage of these useless filings and they impose an unnecessary cost (and
increased legal fees) on the debtor as well. These debtors should be required to provide only the information
sufficient to verify their income eligibility for the "safe harbor." Similarly, a more streamlined system could screen
out those with no capacity to repay before additional paperwork requirements are imposed. All parties should be
able to agree that any means test should be implemented efficiently. Burdensome filing and hearing requirements
that lead to little or no additional debt repayment are not in the interest of debtors, creditors, or taxpayers.
The administration understands that a series of amendments will be offered to improve the fairness and efficiency of
the means test. The administration strongly supports these amendments, including:
Abusive Creditor Reaffirmation Practices. Much evidence shows that debtors often reaffirm unsecured debt and
low-value secured debt on unfavorable terms even though they do not have the means to meet their own necessary
expenses and make more important debt payments, placing such priority debts as child support and alimony
obligations at risk. Such reaffirmations frequently are the result of insufficient or misleading information or threats
from creditors. S. 625 as reported does little to address these abuses. If we are to provide substantial new
opportunities for creditors to challenge debtors' use of the bankruptcy system under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code, we must limit abusive creditor practices such as coercive reaffirmations and violations of the automatic stay
against collection actions. We understand Sen. Sessions may offer an amendment to provide some protections
against abusive reaffirmations. However, we believe the amendment has significant loopholes, allowing debtors to
reaffirm debts they cannot afford and failing to provide creditors with all the information that bankruptcy judges
deem necessary and which many are already requiring be provided in their courts. The administration strongly
We understand, however, that Sens. Reed and Sessions continue to discuss ways to reconcile their two amendments
in a way that might address our concerns.
Credit Card Information and Protection. The administration continues to believe that reform must address the
factor that is most strongly correlated with the rise in personal bankruptcy: rising levels of consumer debt.
Americans now receive more than 3.5 billion credit card solicitations per year, many of which are marketed to
encourage consumers to carry high balances and incur large interest charges. One of the most effective ways to
reduce the number of bankruptcies in this new financial era is to give consumers the information they need to
manage their credit card debts effectively, recognizing the creditors' superior information and bargaining ability.
Consumers must be given clear information on the terms of their credit and the financial implications of not paying
off their credit card balances. The administration supports:
Cramdowns. S. 625 also changes the lien-stripping or "cramdown" provisions in current law governing a chapter
13 bankruptcy, under which the lien underlying a secured debt is reduced to its value at the time of bankruptcy. The
administration agrees that lien-stripping should be limited to automobile loans incurred in the period preceding
bankruptcy to prevent abuses, but believes that the provisions in the Senate bill are excessive. While the
administration strongly prefers the Senate provisions to the extreme prohibitions in H.R. 833, the five-year
prohibition on lien-stripping on automobile debts in the current bill will do little more to deter bankruptcy abuses
than a more reasonable time limit. Instead, the prohibition will significantly reduce repayment of priority, unsecured
debts like child support and taxes. The administration strongly supports:
Non-dischargeable Debts. The Bankruptcy Code makes debts non-dischargeable only where there is an overriding
public purpose, as with debts for child support and alimony payments, educational loans, tax obligations or debts
incurred by fraud. In an attempt to deal with the possibility of abuse, the bill makes non-dischargeable debt incurred
on the eve of bankruptcy and certain debts incurred to pay non-dischargeable debts. Unfortunately, the amendment
will catch those who innocently incur debts as well. Moreover, the additional credit card and other non-priority
debts made non-dischargeable by these provisions will compete in some cases after bankruptcy with child support,
alimony, taxes and other societal priorities like educational loans and taxes. The administration strongly prefers the
provisions in S. 625, which offer some protection for child support and alimony, to those in H.R. 833. However,
the administration also strongly supports:
Loopholes for the Wealthy. The administration supports closing loopholes in bankruptcy law, such as unlimited
homestead exemptions, that allow many wealthy debtors to avoid their responsibility to repay a significant portion
of their debt. Bankruptcy reform should not place a greater responsibility for debt repayment on moderate- and
low-income debtors than it does on high-income debtors. The administration strongly supports:
Barriers to Entry to the Bankruptcy System. Finally, the bill appears to place unnecessary barriers to entry into
the bankruptcy system that will not prevent abuse, but will create burdens on those with a genuine need for speedy
bankruptcy protection. The administration strongly supports:
Sen. Grassley: Every time a debt is wiped away through bankruptcy, somebody loses money. Of course, when
someone who extends credit has their obligation wiped away in bankruptcy, they are forced to make a decision.
Should this loss simply be swallowed as a cost of business? Or do you raise prices for other customers to make up
your losses?... For this reason, Treasury Secretary Larry Summers testified at his confirmation hearing before the
Senate Finance Committee that bankruptcy tends to drive up interest rates... The bankruptcy bill we're considering
will discourage bankruptcies, and therefore lessen upward pressure on interest rates and higher prices by making it
harder for people who can repay to wipe them away... Of course, people who can't repay can still use the bankruptcy
system as they would have before. But for people with higher incomes who can repay their debts, the free ride is
Sen. Leahy: ...the bill before us strays from the blueprint of last year's balanced reform in the Senate. For
example, today's bill requires the means testing of debtors based on expense standards that are formulated by the
IRS... the means testing severely restricts a judge's discretion to take into account individual debtors'
circumstances. As a result, it has the potential to cause an unforgiving and inflexible result of denying honest
debtors access to a post-bankruptcy fresh start... The latest study funded by the nonpartisan American Bankruptcy
Institute found that only 3 percent of chapter 7 filers could afford to repay some portion of their debt. To force the
other 97 percent to submit to this arbitrary means test in trying to reach 3 percent lacks common sense and poses an
additional burden on the 97 percent...
Sen. Durbin: The sad but obvious fact is that the people who declare bankruptcy are poor. The average income of a
person who declares bankruptcy is $17,652. In 1981, the average income was 23,254. People in our bankruptcy
system are just getting poorer. One would not believe that to be the case, listening to this debate, the suggestion
that so many people are coming into the bankruptcy court who are loaded with money, who, through crafty
attorneys and their own ingenuity, are able to avoid their responsibility... The people showing up in bankruptcy
court are poor people, with indebtedness of roughly $25,000... When we allow credit card companies and finance
companies to grab more in bankruptcy and hang on to more after bankruptcy, it lessens the likelihood that the
divorced woman trying to raise a child is going to be able to have any pot of money to draw from for help. This is
a pie of limited proportions after a bankruptcy. If the credit card companies can stay there, taking the money away
from that former husband who filed for bankruptcy, many times it will be at the expense of his children and former
Sen. Sessions: I believe we are eliminating abuses in the system. For example, I point out a landlord who leases an
apartment to a tenant; that tenant's lease is for one year, that year is up, and he owes the landlord money. The
landlord seeks to move him out because he is going to rent the apartment to somebody else. That tenant can file for
bankruptcy and stay, or stop, any lawsuits for eviction. Months can go by. And the landlord has to hire an attorney
to go to bankruptcy court to try and get the stay lifted on filing the eviction notice so they can go forward...
Eventually the landlord always wins, but often it takes months to get a final hearing and will cost him a good deal
of money and attorney's fees. The bill changes that.
Sen. Kennedy: The drop in filings this year is ample indication that a harsh bankruptcy bill is not needed. Without
any action by Congress, the number of bankruptcy filings is decreasing... Leading economists believe the crisis is
self-correcting... Lenders respond to an unexpected increase in personal bankruptcies by curtailing new lending to
consumers teetering closest to bankruptcy, with or without new legislation. The high rate of default at the peak of
the bankruptcy crisis began to impinge on the profitability of lending and, as a result, lenders tightened their
underwriting standards. This in the non-legislative, free-market response which made the crisis abate. Despite these
facts, the Senate is pursuing legislation that is a taxpayer-funded administrative nightmare for struggling debtors.
Sen. Grassley: One of the major problems with the bankruptcy system is the mindset of some of the lawyers who
specialize in bankruptcy. Many lawyers today view bankruptcy simply as an opportunity to make money for
themselves with a minimal effort. And this profit motive causes bankruptcy lawyers to promote bankruptcy even
when a financially troubled client has the obvious ability to pay his or her debts. As one of the members of the
National Bankruptcy Review Commission noted in the Commission's 1997 report, many who make their living off
of the bankruptcy process have forgotten that declaring bankruptcy has a moral dimension. Bankruptcy lawyers
shouldn't counsel someone to walk away from his or her debts without pointing out the moral consequences of
making a promise to pay and then breaking that promise.
Sen. Leahy: We have to ask, who are the principal beneficiaries? Right now, they are the companies that make up
the credit industry. I searched high and low in the bill for the provisions by which these companies are asked to pay
for these mandates that benefit them or even contribute to the costs and burdens of the bill, a bill that they support.
If they are getting these huge benefits, are they required to pay anything for them? They are not. I can find no
provisions by which credit card companies and others who expect to receive a multibillion-dollar windfall from this
bill will have to pay the added costs of this measure. Investing a couple hundred million of taxpayers' money to
make several billion dollars for the credit card industry might seem to be a good business investment, but not if the
taxpayers have to pick up the bill to hand over a multibillion-dollar benefit to the credit card companies. In addition
to these costs to the federal government, there are the additional mandates imposed on the private sector. We keep
saying how we want to keep government off the back of the private sector. In fact, CBO estimates the private sector
mandates imposed by just two sections of the bill will result in annual increased costs of between $280 million and
$940 million a year. Are we willing to tell the private sector that with this bill we are, in effect, putting a tax on
them of $280 million to $940 million a year, which over five years will amount to between $1.4 billion and $4.7
billion to be borne by the private sector? If we vote for this bill, are we going to tell them we just gave that kind of
a tax increase to them? So all in all, this amounts to a bill of an estimated cost over five years of $5 billion to be
borne by taxpayers and debtors so the credit industry can pocket another $5 billion. Not a bad day's work by the
credit industry lobbyists but a good result for the American people. They are going to be happy if they get the
American taxpayers to give them $5 billion just like that. They ought to be awfully happy. I haven't heard or seen
any answers to those basic questions. I think those who say this is going to benefit the American public ought to be
more specific. CBO doesn't see it that way. They see a great transfer from the American public to one industry. For
all that I can see, any savings generated by this bill will be gobbled up in windfall profits for the credit industry,
without any guarantee of benefits for working people, and with a $1 billion per year out-of-pocket cost to taxpayers
and those in the bankruptcy system.
Sen. Reed: Mr. President, I rise in strong support of the Reed-Sessions Amendment No. 2650 to the manager's
amendment to S. 625. I urge my colleagues to support the passage of this important amendment. The
Reed-Sessions amendment deals with the reaffirmation of one's debt, and it reflects a compromise that has been
worked out at length between myself, Sen. Sessions, the Treasury Department and consumers. I believe it is a fair
and balanced amendment that seeks to treat those who enter into reaffirmation agreements with their creditors in a
fair and just manner, and to provide themas well as the bankruptcy courtswith the greatest amount of
information they need in order to make the wisest decisions possible. For those of my colleagues unfamiliar with
these agreements, a reaffirmation is an agreement between a debtor and a creditor in which the debtor reaffirms his
or her debt and willingness to pay the creditor back, even after many of the other debts may have been discharged
during bankruptcy. The creditor must then file this reaffirmation agreement with the bankruptcy court. The court
then has the opportunity to review this agreement, but in most cases, for one reason or another, does not. Recently,
there have been some documented cases in which creditors have used coercive and abusive tactics with consumers in
order to persuade them to reaffirm their debt, when in many of these cases there is no question that the individual
can in no way afford to do so. The most visible of these cases occurred with Sears, in which the company did not
even file these reaffirmation agreements with the court, therefore negating even the option of the court to review
these cases. The Reed-Sessions amendment would essentially provide for clear and concise disclosures when a
debtor chooses to enter into a reaffirmation agreement with a creditor. Our amendment would create a uniform
disclosure form, whereby everyone who is filing a reaffirmation agreement must fill this form out. Based on the
information provided on the form, certain situations will then obligate the court to review such agreements in order
to determine if the reaffirmation agreement is truly in the debtor's best interests. In constructing this compromise
amendment, I think we have achieved some very important goals. First and foremost, we want everyone to
recognize that a reaffirmation agreement is a very weighty decision, and that the individual needs to
understandwhether they are represented by counsel or notall the ramifications of the agreement into which he or
she is entering. In fact, the individual needs to understand that they in no way need to file a reaffirmation
agreement. Another vital issue is to have the court review such cases in which the debtor wants to reaffirm his or her
debt, but in calculating the difference between the person's income and all their monthly expenses, it remains
impossible for the debtor to do so. In other words, there exists a presumption of undue hardship upon the person. It
is at that point that we want the court to have the ability to step in and say to this person, that either they have the
ability to repay some of this debt because of other sources of fundssuch as a gift from the familyor that they do
not, and therefore the reaffirmation cannot be approved by the court. Without this amendment, we are concerned that
the abuses in the reaffirmation system that we have seen will continue to occur, and the courts may continue to be
left in the dark with respect to the existence of these agreements, let alone have the option to review them. The
amendment is not perfect, and if given the choice, I probably would have preferred to go even further than we have
in our language. With that said, I think it's still important to note that with this amendment, we have given our
courts and consumers the appropriate tools that will provide them with the necessary information to make decisions
that are in the individual's best interests, not the creditor's. That is a crucial point that I wanted to emphasize. I
appreciate all the efforts of those involved in the process that went into constructing this compromise amendment,
and I am confident that it strengthens the hands of our courts, and more importantly, the minds of our consumers as
they make decisions that will weigh upon them for the rest of their lives.
Sen. Moynihan: However, the bill presently before the Senate extends the time (from 60 days to 90 days for
consumer debts, for instance) in which this presumption of fraudulent activity takes place, and it changes the dollar
amounts. We propose to keep the law as it is for low-income personspeople below the median income level, who
already live hand-to-mouth, who often find themselves in a bind, with no intent to defraud, and keep borrowing
until they are in bankruptcy situations. They won't have lawyers and can't defend against presumptions. We simply
keep the existing law. Deal with true fraud and important bankruptcies as the bill proposes to do but leave the small
and hapless folk to their small and hapless fortunes.
Sen. Hatch: Under S. 625, limits are placed on a debtor's ability to buy luxury goods and take out large cash
advances on the eve of bankruptcy. The bill accomplishes this by creating a rebuttable presumption that certain
debts are not dischargeable. Specifically, the bill provides that debts of more than $250 per credit card for luxury
goods that are incurred within three months of bankruptcy, and cash advances of more than $750, incurred within 70
days of bankruptcy, are presumed to be fraudulent and are non-dischargeable. These provisions, while an
improvement over current law, are by no means a solution to the load-up problem. Debtors still essentially are free
to take out a cash advance of $750 and buy luxury goods valued at $250 on each of their credit cards before even the
presumption of non-dischargeability kicks in. It is also important to note that under the bill, luxury goods
specifically exclude "goods or services reasonably necessary for the support or maintenance of the debtor or a
dependent of the debtor." Many have complained that these provisions do not go far enough to close the load-up
loophole. The amendment by the Senator from New York, in contrast, undermines the bill's modest anti-load-up
provisions by applying them only to those with income above the national median. Simply stated, the amendment
would create an unjustified double standard, with those who fall under the national median income being permitted
to load up on luxury goods and cash advances before filing for bankruptcy, as permitted by current law.
Wellstone Amendment No. 2537, to disallow claims of certain insured depository institutions.
Wellstone Amendment No. 2538, with respect to the disallowance of certain claims and to prohibit certain coercive
collection practices.
Levin Amendment No. 2658, to make non-dischargeable debts related to gun claims.
Schumer/Durbin Amendment No. 2762, to modify the means test relating to safe harbor provisions.
Schumer Amendment No. 2763, to ensure that debts incurred as a result of clinic violence are non-dischargeable.
Schumer Amendment No. 2764, to provide for greater accuracy in certain means testing.
Dodd Amendment No. 2753, to amend the Truth in Lending Act to provide for enhanced information regarding
credit card balance payment terms and conditions, and to provide for enhanced reporting of credit card solicitations
to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and to Congress.
Feingold Amendment No. 2748, to provide for an exception to a limitation on an automatic stay under §362(b) of
Title 11, U.S. Code, relating to evictions and similar proceedings to provide for the payment of rent that becomes
due after the petition of a debtor is filed.
Schumer/Santorum Amendment No. 2761, to improve disclosure of the annual percentage rate for purchases applied to credit card accounts.

Ferris Task Force Addresses Pedestrian Safety
Ferris State University's Pedestrian Safety Task Force has taken some initial steps to make the crosswalks on State Street more visible and safe, reports the Big Rapids Pioneer. The task force continues to explore a number of other solutions to improve pedestrian safety through education, behavior change and physical improvements in and around campus. Task force member Pam Augustine, Michigan Department of Transportation traffic engineer, coordinated the placement of pedestrian signs to identify crosswalks on State Street, beginning at the south end of campus at Knollview Drive near Ewigleben Sports Complex and continuing north to Morrison Street by Burger King. "This was something immediate and cost effective that we could do to call drivers' attention to crosswalks in high traffic areas along State Street," she said. Augustine is one of 15 members of the Ferris Pedestrian Safety Task Force chaired by Vice President for Administration and Finance Jerry Scoby.

"Simmons SLIS has a very intimate pulse of what is happening in the field - be it technology or research. It's a place where you feel stimulated. Everything you are experiencing is at the forefront of our profession."
Rong Tang, MA Ohio State University, MLS Wayne State University, PhD Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Associate Professor and Director of the Simmons SLIS Usability Lab
3+1 = a career on the cutting edge
The world of library and information science is changing - fast. No longer just a home for printed texts, a "library" is any place where creating, storing, and accessing traditional print and emerging digital resources come together.
This evolution is huge, and the vast array of careers it's creating calls for a new breed of highly trained, technologically savvy information professional. The 3+1 Computer Science/Library and Information Science Program will thoroughly prepare you to meet this opportunity.
Pairing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a Master�of Science in Library and Information Science, this sought-after combination will give you a versatile technical background as well as advanced knowledge of the principles, theories, and practices of modern librarianship, digital curation, and content management.
You'll earn your computer science degree in three years in an empowering, state-of-the-art environment. Through coursework and hands-on learning, you'll develop your ability to understand computing foundation and theory and to solve real-world problems through the application of technology.
Master's level coursework in library science will commence by your senior year and culminate in stimulating yet practical independent studies. Our Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) is ranked in the country's top 10 by U.S.News & World Report. The faculty are recognized leaders in their fields, while our prime Boston location opens the door to hundreds of prestigious internships.
You'll enter this exciting, expanding field with a sophisticated skill set, eminently qualified to connect people to the information they need.
"These degrees are powerful together. As the library field becomes more data-intensive, it needs more professionals to create and manage technical systems. Most of all, the work is fun - people shouldn't forget that!"
- Associate Professor Gerald Benoit, Ph.D., Coordinator of the 3+1 Program at the Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science
Who should apply?

Assuming it is hard to consider it rape when grown men force themselves onto children because it is largely a cultural norm in Afghanistan, so it is in Hollyweird too. Because it really isn't "rape-rape" (whatever that means, I do not know) when a famous director decides to drug a 13 year old child and rape and sodomize her. After all, artists need latitude in which to exercise their intellect and energy.
Check out James Joyner's piece at Outside the Beltway
Joshua Foust continues to call attention to widespread and institutionalized child rape — mostly man-on-boy — in Afghanistan, this time with a report that Canadian soldiers had been quietly told to ignore the practice because we needed the cooperation of the leaders doing the raping. Steve Hynd, naturally, wonders why this isn't widely reported and why senior U.S. officials aren't being asked about American policy on this troubling issue.
Meanwhile, Jim Henley (via Google Reader) encapsulates my immediate reaction: "This problem could be solved if the Afghan security forces would make a few well-regarded movies."
It looks like that we are engaged in a War for Civilization here as well as abroad.

Kazmierczak et al v. Reproductive Genetic Institute, Inc. et al
Filing 60
MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order Signed by the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr on 9/26/2012.Mailed notice(air, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION SHARI KAZMEIRCZAK, AARON KAZMIERCZAK, LISA GEIGER, and BRETT GEIGER, Plaintiffs, v. REPRODUCTIVE GENETICS INSTITUTE, INC. and FEDERAL EXPRESS, Defendants. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) No. 10 C 05253 Judge John J. Tharp, Jr. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This case, removed from the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on the basis of federal-question jurisdiction, now consists only of state-law claims against one defendant. The plaintiffs move the Court to relinquish its supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims and remand the case to state court. For the reasons explained below, the Court grants the motion and remands the case. A. Background Two couples, the Kazmierczaks and the Geigers, sued Federal Express and the Reproductive Genetics Institute ("RGI") when six frozen embryos were destroyed in transit from RGI, in Illinois, to a fertility clinic in Michigan. Pursuant to a contract between the couples, the Geigers had donated the embryos to the Kazmierczaks to aid them in conceiving a child through in vitro fertilization. After the embryos arrived in Michigan unpreserved, the plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in Illinois state court, invoking four common-law theories of relief: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and bailment. Federal Express removed the case to federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441, based upon its federal-question jurisdiction over claims relating to lost or damaged goods transported by a common carrier. See Treiber & Staub, Inc. v. United Parcel Service, 474 F.3d 379 (7th Cir. 2007). Discovery ensued, and nearly two years after removal, and Federal Express moved for summary judgment on all counts against all plaintiffs, primarily arguing that the claims against it were preempted by federal statute. RGI also moved for partial summary judgment, on other grounds. Before responding to Federal Express's motion, the plaintiffs moved to voluntarily dismiss Federal Express and remand the case to state court. This Court granted the motion to dismiss Federal Express with prejudice on July 18, 2012. Now that the claims no longer implicate federal common-carrier law, the plaintiffs want the case returned to state court. RGI objects. B. Discussion "When federal claims drop out of the case, leaving only state-law claims, the district court has broad discretion to decide whether to keep the case or relinquish supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claims." RWJ Management Co., Inc. v. BP Products North America, Inc., 672 F.3d 476, 478 (7th Cir. 2012). "A general presumption in favor of relinquishment applies and is particularly strong where . . . the state-law claims are complex and raise unsettled legal issues." Id. If there has been "a substantial investment of the federal court's time," however, the presumption may be overcome. Id. This case now consists solely of state-law claims against RGI. The presumption of relinquishment is strong because the case raises novel issues of law—or, at least questions about the application of familiar principles to a novel and complex context. Among the negligent acts and omissions alleged by the plaintiffs are failures "to properly safeguard embryos," "to properly preserve the cryopreservation tank for transportation," and "to contract with a company familiar with the processes necessary to preserve the embryos." RGI's defenses include arguments that 2 the embryo donors forfeited all of their rights and interests in the embryos as a result of their contract with the Kazmierczaks. Illinois does not yet have a substantial body of case law addressing the duties and standard of care of fertility clinics involved in the rights of ownership, transport, preservation, and handling of human genetic material. 1 It remains to be seen how Illinois courts will treat different theories of recovery for the wrongful destruction of human embryos, pre-embryos, and genetic material, but given the novelty and importance of these issues, they are best addressed by the state courts in the first instance. 2 See, e.g., 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(1) (district court may decline supplemental jurisdiction over "novel or complex issue of state law"); Doe-2 v. McLean County Unit Dist. No. 5 Bd. of Directors, 593 F.3d 507, 513 (7th Cir. 2010) (dismissal without prejudice of state-law claims would be appropriate "[g]iven the relatively novel issues of Illinois tort law presented by Doe–2's case"); United States v. Zima, 766 F.2d 1153, 1158 (7th Cir. 1985) ("[I]n cases involving complex or novel issues of state law, the appellate courts have held that it is an abuse of discretion to retain jurisdiction after the federal issue is disposed of at trial or even on appeal."). 1 The field of reproductive technology is developing rapidly, and RGI does not contest the plaintiffs' assertion that there is not clearly established law in Illinois governing disputes arising in this area. The Court's own research has found few Illinois cases arising in this novel context, and those it has found suffice to demonstrate that the issues may require reconciliation of various lines of precedent to the exigencies of this rapidly developing and often contentious factual context. For example, in 2005 an Illinois trial court allowed a wrongful death claim to go to trial against a fertility clinic that failed to properly freeze a blastocyst, or pre-embryo. See Miller v. Am. Infertility Group, No. 02 L 7394 (Cook County, Ill., Cir. Ct. 2005). On interlocutory appeal, the Illinois Appellate Court held that the Illinois Wrongful Death Act "does not allow a cause of action or recovery under the Act for the loss of an embryo created by in vitro fertilization that has not been implanted into the mother." Miller v. American Infertility Group of Illinois, 897 N.E.2d 837, 846 (Ill. App. Ct. 2008). The court's analysis involved reconciling the Wrongful Death Act and the Illinois Abortion Law, and parsing the very definition of "human being." 2 The questions presented in this area are also fertile ground for scholarly inquiry. See, e.g., Lauren Russo, Comment: Microscopic Americans? A New Conception of the Right to Recover for the Loss of a Pre-Embryo in Tort Law, 2009 MICH. ST. L. REV. 789, and sources cited therein. 3 Against the strong presumption of relinquishment, the Court sees no "good reasons" to retain the case. See Whitely v. Moravec, 635 F.3d 308, 311 (7th Cir. 2011). Although this matter has been pending for two years, the Court's participation has been minimal. Discovery was not contentious, and there were no motions to dismiss or other substantive engagement by the Court (indeed, there have been only a handful of court appearances in the case). The present district judge has presided only since June 5, 2012, and the request to remand came only six weeks later. On remand, the parties would have to duplicate some ministerial efforts—such as RGI re-filing its summary-judgment motion—but the state court will not "cover the same ground" because no substantive evaluation has yet been made by this Court. See Miller v. Herman, 600 F.3d 726, 748 (7th Cir. 2010) (remand of claims likely to be appropriate where "none of them has yet been addressed in any meaningful way"); Davis v. Cook County, 534 F.3d 650, 654 (7th Cir. 2008) (even disposing of federal claims on summary judgment not an investment of "substantial judicial resources"). Indeed, full briefing of RGI's motion has not yet occurred. This Court has not made nearly the investment of judicial resources as the district court made in RWJ, which "held 35 hearings, issued 45 orders, and considered 70 motions" while the "parties compiled 21 volumes of discovery material." 672 F.3d at 479. But even in that case, remanding to state court was not an abuse of discretion, because the Court's substantive engagement with the legal issues was minimal. Id. at 480-81. Considerations of judicial economy or duplication of efforts, then, are not compelling in this case. And other reasons for retaining supplemental jurisdiction, such as the expiration of a statute of limitations or "an absolutely clear" resolution of the remaining claims, are not present here. See Sharp Electronics Corp. v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 578 F.3d 505, 513-14 (7th Cir. 4 2009). Indeed, as the partial summary judgment motion would suggest, at least some of the remaining claims will require a trial, leaving their resolution anything but clear. As a final push for retention of jurisdiction, RGI predicts that it will simply remove the case again once it obtains dismissal against the Geigers (as it is confident it will do), creating complete diversity with the Kazmierczaks, who are domiciled in Michigan. The Court takes no position on the viability of the Geigers' claims other than to note that their proper disposition is not obvious. But even if the state court dismisses the Geigers, RGI overlooks the fact that an Illinois corporation cannot remove a case from state to federal court in Illinois. See 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b)(2). RGI thus far has admitted only that it is a "licensed corporation in the County of Cook, Illinois" Answer, Dkt. 9 ¶ 1, which is meaningless for purposes of diversity jurisdiction. But the Court can and does take judicial notice of the public records showing that RGI is in fact incorporated in Illinois. Corporation File Detail Report, Illinois Secretary of State, http://www.ilsos.gov/corporatellc/index.jsp (search results for "Reproductive Genetics Institute, Inc.," September 25, 2012). And that alone makes it a citizen of Illinois for purposes of diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. 1332(c)(1) ("a corporation shall be deemed to be a citizen of every State and foreign state by which it has been incorporated"). So even if the dismissal of the Geigers were a foregone conclusion, RGI would not be entitled to pop back to federal court by invoking diversity jurisdiction. For these reasons, the plaintiffs' motion to remand to state court is GRANTED. Date: September 26, 2012 Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr. U.S. District Judge 5

Cheese on toast with worcester sauce is NOT an odd food combination!!!!
It is EPIC!

nephilim's suggestion of putting the brown sauce on before putting it under the grill.
do it tonight, I guarantee you'll love it.
Mash avacodo with salt n pepper
Cook the chicken breast(s) and bacon either fried or however you want to cook them
Warm the ciabatta rolls up
Cut and Butter the rolls, insert avacodo paste , insert chicken n bacon, put sliced brie on top, close roll and insert into oven or under grill etc to melt the cheese and then serve and enjoy :-)
Not sure if the above is weird but defo scrummy !!
sometimesi put cheese and tomato sazuce in a sandwich and just microwave it till the cheese melts.... bread gets stupidly hot, mind
Grill 1 side of bread only
Flip bread
Butter bread
Add Cheese (grated or sliced)
Add brown sauce on top
Place back under grill
Remove from grill when cheese is melted and just turning brown
Eat and enjoy.
cheese needs to be added to anything possible....i'm pretty sure it's a law....
If cheese exists already, add more.
featured_spectre (18th March 2014)
i dont like cheese unless its melted/hot, if it has cooled down i dont like it much either...

Bonfire & AlduxQuad
Submitted by Aldux on 11/12/2013 - 16:06.
Your quadcopter might be cool, but not as cool as a quadcopter fliying over a impressive bonfire (spoiler alert, duh)... Bonfire Night is an annual event dedicated to bonfires, fireworks and celebrations. Some of the world's most popular Bonfire instances include Great Britain's Guy Fawkes Night, which is a annual commemoration observed on 5 of November.
And my favorite skydiving airfield "Skydive Strathallan" could not stand behind... For them is an annual tradition, for me it was my first bonfire night, very fun and highly dangerous.
The main difference with this weekend at Strathallan is that I took my dear AlduxQuad with me... The rest is history. Its better if you watch the video, be warned, its a little long, 8 minutes and 34 seconds.
