Sleek Makeup Sparkle 2 i-Divine Palette for Holiday 2012
Sleek Makeup is introducing a Sparkle 2 i-Divine for Holiday 2012! I'm a sparkle addict so the Sparkle 2 i-Divine is so very me.
This palette features 12 eye shadows in a variety of golds, silver, copper, bronze, blues, and purples.
Here's a little sneak peek!
I haven't tried it yet but I'm so in love with glitter and sparkle of any kind I kinda gasped and squealed a little when I opened ip the palette.
It's not available yet but will be launching shortly (December 5th to be exact) at www.sleekmakeup.com for $9.99. I know Sleek hasn't been shipping some of their I-Divine Palettes to the US but I do believe the Sparkle 2 i-Divine won't be an issue. As soon as it pops up on site I can confirm!
Will you be hauling it?
I have the original Sparkle i-Divine from Holiday 2010 (or 2011? Don't quote me!) and really loved it so I'm hoping to enjoy this just as much.
Any sparkle palettes you're really loving this Holiday Season?
The Maggie Deco Coffret for Holiday 2012 launching in Japan has a sparkly palette in it that I MUST have! I already pre-ordered it and I have a funny feeling I'm going to love it!

11/27/12 11:43 Susan:

11/27/12 12:52 Cindy:
I really love those colors, but I'm afraid of the sparkle! I never have good luck with eyeshadow that contain large chunks of glitter in it. They have bad fallout and the glitter ends up in my eye. D;

Grok Never Needed an Alarm Clock, So Why Should You?
Posted By Mark Sisson On May 28, 2009 @ 8:53 am In Grok,Health,How To,Sleep | 45 Comments
It goes without saying that Grok [7] never had to resort to a shrieking alarm clock to get him up in time for the day's activities. But he also never had to worry about beating rush hour, or getting his little Groklings to school. Even if we subscribe to all the other behaviors of our ancestors – diet, fitness, rest, relaxation, play – it is our reliance on external, artificial rousing mechanisms that's the hardest vice to shake. One could even argue that modern (corporate) culture requires the use of an alarm clock. How else are we to manage our most precious commodity of all, time?
I think an argument could be made for the value of quality of sleep, rather than quantity. See, when we wake up naturally, without the use of external alarms (either intentional or random noises), we tend to feel at peace. Our bodies are waking up of their own accord, usually at the end of a light sleep cycle. Given free reign, the human body will usually act in its own self interest. It's only when we disrupt that balance, either by stuffing it with improper foods or subjecting it to shrill alarm clocks that stress begins to impact us negatively. An alarm clock blaring in your ear just as your dream's about to get good (you've almost achieved flight!) is jarring; it wakes you up prematurely and in a sour mood. That's physical stress. You're confused and liable to hit the snooze button, but you're only prolonging the inevitable. You will have to get up and get dressed, trundle out to the car and chug espresso just to stay awake. That's mental stress.
Wouldn't it be nice to forgo all that stress and train yourself to wake up when you want, how you want, using only natural means? Your mornings will no longer consist of futile battles and, though you'll still have to show up to work everyday, it may not be something you dread anymore. Rather than seek out the most annoying, ear-splitting alarm clock on the market (how ridiculous and counter-intuitive does that sound?), you can actually train yourself to wake up using your own internal rhythms.
The most important step on the path to freeing yourself from alarm clocks is establishing a consistent wake up time. That's pretty easy, because most of us have a set time at which we're "supposed" to wake up – we just tend to ignore it. Don't throw out your clock just yet. You're going to need it for this.
Another, slightly more advanced (but also more desirable) avenue to pursue is waking up without an alarm entirely, at the time of your choosing. I find I'm actually able to "choose" a wakeup time at will and, more likely than not, I will wake up around that time. For me, I sort of just developed this ability on my own. I suspect that it lies within all of us, but most people suppress it by eating the wrong foods, living stressful, sedentary lives, or getting hung up on artificial problems. In fact, once I got rid of all the excess grains and sugar that defined my life as a marathoner and triathlete, I noticed my internal sleep rhythms becoming more and more reliable.
The key to all this may lie in a little hormone known as adrenocorticotropin. In a study some years back, researchers observed that patients who were instructed to wake up at a certain time had elevated levels of the hormone [8] about an hour before awakening. When they expected to sleep until 9 AM, but were woken up at 6 AM, there was little adrenocorticotropin produced. Instead, they had elevated levels of cortisol [9], the body's usual stress-response hormone. But when they were warned they would be getting up early, their bodies released adrenocorticotropin an hour prior to waking. This suggests that the hormone is a subconscious reaction to a conscious decision. We may not consciously secrete adrenocorticotropin, but we can consciously decide to wake up at a certain time and, if in good condition, our bodies will respond by releasing the hormone responsible for preparing us for awakening.
In order to maximize your ability to secrete the hormone and get up when you want, try this:
I don't even own an alarm clock anymore. I don't really need one. With pretty consistent accuracy, I can wake myself up on command.

Jazzy, fizzy and often quite fun, Baz Luhrmann's "Pretty Good Gatsby" takes F. Scott Fizgerald's Great American Novel out for a sometimes dazzling, always irreverent spin.
The gauzy picture-postcard 3-D production design and superb leading players breathe life into the Jazz Age novel. But the "Moulin Rouge!" director's barely contained determination to Australianize, if not outright bastardize, "The Great Gatsby" is constantly at war with a book and a cast that scream "classic." And Luhrmann isn't having that.

Benzoyl peroxide is an antibacterial agent which has been shown to be effective against Propionibacterium acnes. This action is believed to be responsible for its usefulness in acne. One study in the rhesus monkey demonstrated a percutaneous absorption of about 1.8 µg per cm2 of benzoyl peroxide or 45% of the applied dose in a 24-hour period. The absorbed benzoyl peroxide was completely converted in the skin to benzoic acid.

Paternity (law)
The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010) |
Family law |
Marriage and other equivalent or similar unions and status |
Validity of marriages |
Dissolution of marriages |
Other issues |
Private international law |
The Family and the Criminal Code (or Criminal Law) |
In law, paternity is the legal or biological relationship between a child and his or her biological father. Paternity law deals with the rights and obligations of both the biological or natural father and the child to each other as well as to others. A child's paternity may be relevant in relation to issues of legitimacy, inheritance and rights to a putative father's title or surname, as well as the biological father's rights to custody and obligations for child support.
A child born to a married woman during a marriage is presumed under common law[1] to be the child of her husband by a "presumption of paternity" or presumption of legitimacy. In consideration of possibly misattributed paternity, these presumptions may be rebutted by evidence to the contrary, for example, in disputed child custody and child support cases during divorce, annulment or legal separation.
In the case of a father not married to a child's mother, a man may come forward and accept the paternity of the child in what is called a "voluntary acknowledgment of paternity", the mother or government can file a petition for a determination of paternity against a putative father, or paternity can be determined by the courts through estoppel over time. Today, when paternity is in dispute or doubt, paternity testing may be used to conclusively resolve the issue.
Common law[edit]
This page mainly discusses "Common Law" countries. For other country legal systems see: List of national legal systems. While India is also a common law country its family law system is so unique that it has its own legal pages on Wikipedia. Law of India
The context of usage for the terms "common law" and "civil law" from within Common Law countries refers to non-criminal laws, presumptions or statutes affecting marriage or the family in general, not a different type of country legal system.
Unwed fathers[edit]
Generally, under common law, a biological father has a legal obligation for the maintenance or support of his biological offspring, whether or not he is legally incompetent to marry the child's mother.[2]
Married fathers[edit]
Where paternity of the child is in question, a party may ask the court to determine paternity of one or more possible fathers (called putative fathers), typically based initially upon sworn statements and then upon testimony or other evidence.[1]
A successful application to the court results in an order assigning paternity to a specific man, possibly including support responsibility and/or visitation rights, or declaring that one or more men (possibly including the husband of the mother) are not the father of the child. A disavowal action is a legal proceeding where a putative father attempts to prove to the court that he is not the father; if successful, it relieves the former putative father of legal responsibility for the child.[3]
On the other hand, it could be the case where several putative fathers are fighting to establish custody. In such case, in the US, because of the Supreme Court ruling in 1989, Michael H. v. Gerald D., the mother's legal husband takes precedent over the others, even if he is not the biological father. This decision, wrote Elizabeth Wurtzel in The Atlantic, showed the court favored "stable family matters more than biology."[4]
In the United States, a divorcing father files a parenting plan with a district court which outlines how the parents will share responsibilities on matters such as custody, visitation, support and insurance.
Some paternity laws assign full parental responsibility to fathers even in cases of women lying about contraception, using deceit (such as oral sex followed by self artificial insemination [5] or statutory rape by a woman (Hermesmann v. Seyer) [2]
If the context of inheritance rights, it will be the heirs of the deceased person who are attempting to dispute or establish paternity. In some states, DNA testing will be dispositive to establish paternity. In most states, however, there are a variety of rules and time restrictions that can deny inheritance rights to biological children of a deceased father.[6]

Bob Anderson (fencer)
Bob Anderson | |
Born | Gosport, Hampshire, England |
15 September 1922
Died | 1 January 2012 West Sussex, England |
(aged 89)
Occupation | Fencer, cinematic fight choreographer |
Robert James Gilbert "Bob" Anderson (15 September 1922 – 1 January 2012) was an English Olympic fencer, and a renowned film fight choreographer, with a cinema career that spanned more than 50 years and included films such as Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Mask of Zorro, The Lord of the Rings and Die Another Day. He was regarded as the premier choreographer of Hollywood sword-fighting,[1] and during his career he coached many actors in swordsmanship, including Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Antonio Banderas, Viggo Mortensen and Johnny Depp. He also appeared as a stunt double for Darth Vader's lightsaber battles in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Anderson was educated at The Royal Hospital School, in Raleigh House. It was here that he began to fence.[citation needed] Anderson joined the Royal Marines and won several combined services titles in the sport of fencing. He served in the Mediterranean during World War II.[2]
As a competitive fencer, he represented Great Britain at the Helsinki 1952 Summer Olympic Games,[3] and the World Championships in 1950 and 1953 in the sabre event.[4] He finished tied for fifth in the team sabre event at Helsinki in 1952.
After his retirement from fencing competition, he studied under Prof. Roger Crosnier and was appointed the first official British National Coach, in charge of the National Training System, the day he was awarded his full Professorship. He succeeded Prof. Crosnier as President of the British Academy of Fencing. During the late 1950s to the 1970s he travelled around Britain, and between fencing courses he combined his official duties with television and film work. Eventually emigrating to Canada, he went on to become technical director of the Canadian Fencing Association in Ottawa.[5][6] During the 1960s and 1970s he was also the president of the British Academy of Fencing.[7]
Anderson's cinema career began in 1953 when he choreographed fights for and coached Errol Flynn in The Master of Ballantrae. During rehearsal for a scene he accidentally slashed Flynn on his thigh, leading to notoriety in Hollywood as "the man who stabbed Errol Flynn".[1] He went on to work as a stunt performer and/or fight choreographer in films such as The Guns of Navarone and the Bond films From Russia With Love and Casino Royale. His stature in Hollywood was cemented when he was selected by Stanley Kubrick in 1974 to act as the sword master for Barry Lyndon.
Anderson subsequently went on to be involved in all three[citation needed] of the original Star Wars films. Anderson did not receive much recognition for his work for years after their initial release. Mark Hamill in 1983 revealed, "Bob Anderson was the man who actually did Vader's fighting. It was always supposed to be a secret, but I finally told George I didn't think it was fair any more. Bob worked so bloody hard that he deserves some recognition. It's ridiculous to preserve the myth that it's all done by one man."[5] Anderson in 1994 specified that for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi he staged the lightsaber duels and also wore the Vader costume in fight scenes.[8] David Prowse, who played Vader, said he did his own swordplay in the first Star Wars film but afterward, "having one of the principals do his own stunts made [the filmmakers] very weird from an insurance point of view."[8]
Anderson continued to work in cinema for the next 30 years, and was responsible for the swordsmanship in many films, including Highlander, The Princess Bride, The Three Musketeers, The Mask of Zorro, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Shortly before his death he was working on The Hobbit. He had a reputation for being a perfectionist, with director Martin Campbell giving him the nickname "Grumpy Bob".[1] Anderson was interviewed at length for the 2009 documentary on cinematic sword-fighting, Reclaiming the Blade, where he commented, "I never took up the sword, I think the sword took me up."[6]
Anderson died on New Year's Day, 2012 in a West Sussex hospital at the age of 89.[9]
After his death his widow, Pearl, and daughter, Simone, visited the Royal Hospital School and donated Anderson's swords, medals and movie footage for the school's tercentenary museum.[citation needed]

Julian Gamble was stopped at a traffic light at lunchtime on Monday when he looked down and saw his mother had texted him from North Carolina. "#3! Wow! That's Crazy!"
Yes, it is.
Take a deep breath, University of Miami basketball fans. The unfathomable is happening.
The Hurricanes on Monday were No. 3 in The Associated Press poll, behind Indiana and Duke. Yes, No. 3. As in, third-best team in the nation. Not only that, they received 17 first-place votes. First. Place. Votes. UM. In basketball.
Miami, 19-3 and 10-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, has made a meteoric rise during the past five weeks from unranked to No. 25 to No. 14 to No. 8 to No. 3.
No UM team ever has been ranked higher.
The national pollsters clearly have noticed the Hurricanes' jaw-dropping stats this season. UM is the only undefeated team in conference play of the six major conferences.
The Canes have not lost since Christmas; are riding an 11-game win streak; are the first team ever to beat Duke and North Carolina by more than 25 points in the same season; and their Ratings Percentage Index is No. 1 or No. 2, depending on which computer you choose to believe.
Whoever imagined UM basketball would reach the point where many fans believe the Hurricanes got slighted by being ranked third behind Duke after beating the Blue Devils by 27 points?
"I never really thought that Miami could be a top-10 program," the always-candid senior center Reggie Johnson said. "I knew we were a good team, and we'd compete and take down some of the big dogs that are always in the top 10, but I didn't think we'd be here in February. It's surreal. Our school has never been ranked this high and to be part of it with this group of guys is really special."
He is among those who believe UM deserves to be ranked ahead of Duke.
"If the poll was really legit, we should be ranked in front of them, but that's for the media and fans," Johnson said.
Senior guard Durand Scott was taking a nap Monday when he heard his phone vibrate repeatedly. He knew then that the Canes had moved up the rankings.
Surreal is real
"I checked, saw we were No. 3. I went to the bathroom and was listening to the radio while I brushed my teeth, and a Drake song, Started From the Bottom, Now We're Here came on and it felt real good. … I really didn't think we'd be here. Being at No. 3 is surreal. We're embracing it and having fun."
Coach Jim Larranaga insists he doesn't get caught up in the polls, calls them "popularity contests" and "beauty contests," but he conceded they help create buzz and attract recruits.
The coach got an ovation from Heat fans at AmericanAirlines Arena during Sunday's Heat-Lakers game when they showed him on the Jumbotron.
Said Scott: "I don't have to wear a UM shirt for people to know who I am now."
And Larranaga joked that an eighth-grader called to commit Monday.
"We told him it's a little too early," he said.
Watching it all from Fort Myers is Kevin Norris, the UM point guard from 1994 to 1998 and now an assistant coach at Florida Gulf Coast University, one of three teams that beat the Canes this season.
"I'm on Cloud 9 seeing UM reach No. 3 because I have orange and green blood. We were 0-18 my first year there, and feel like I'm part of the stepping stones that got UM to this point. Beating UM this year was bittersweet for me. I'm really excited for what's happening at Miami and tip my hat to those players and coaches."
Asked whether they should be in the conversation for No. 1, senior forward Kenny Kadji said: "I don't know. I really don't want to pay attention to that. We're having too much fun — 10-0 and I just want to keep going. No. 1 right now doesn't mean anything. You want to be No. 1 at the end of the season."
Later Monday, Kadji "tweaked'' his shoulder in practice, according to Larranaga, and his status will be evaluated on Tuesday.
Now a target
Scott is not worried about his team getting distracted by the excitement.
"Coach Larranaga's going to make sure of that because he's our leader, and we're his students," he said.
The Hurricanes are on the road at Florida State on Wednesday night. That was all Larranaga was thinking about Monday.
"I'm going to be on them very, very hard in practice," he said. "We can't afford any slippage. Our offensive rebounding efficiency is 280th in the country, we need to do better because from now on, we're getting everybody's best shot. No sneaking up on anybody anymore."

NWA Posts $475M Loss in Third-Quarter
Northwest Airlines Corp.'s quarterly loss ballooned tenfold to $475 million because of bankruptcy costs and more expensive fuel, the airline said Thursday.
It was more bad financial news for the nation's fourth-largest carrier, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 14.
Northwest is the dominant carrier at Detroit Metro Airport, with a major hub that serves more than 60% of the passengers who begin or end their trips there, and more than 8,000 Michigan employees.
Northwest said it lost $5.45 per share during the quarter that ended Sept. 30, up from $46 million, or 54 cents per share during the same period last year.
Northwest said it paid $1.845 per gallon for fuel during the quarter, up 48% from the same period last year.
The loss also includes $82 million in charges for freezing pensions for nonunion workers and $159 million in bankruptcy costs.
Excluding the losses, Northwest said it would have lost $234 million, or $2.69 per share. The consensus of industry experts surveyed by Thomson Financial was for a loss on that basis of $4.13 per share.
Operating revenue was $3.38 billion. Analysts expected $3.27 billion.
"Our third-quarter results clearly demonstrate the need for Northwest to restructure expeditiously," said president and CEO Doug Steenland.
He said the company is trying to cut labor and other costs, renegotiate the leases on its aircraft, and develop a more efficient business model so it can begin making money again. Those goals would add up to $2.5 billion in "overall profit improvement," Steenland said.
A bankruptcy judge in New York gave Northwest permission Thursday to eliminate another 106 planes if it can't renegotiate lease and mortgage payments on them.
Those planes include 27 Airbus jets, 10 Boeing 747s, five Boeing 747 cargo planes and 49 turboprop planes that Northwest leases to its commuter carrier Mesaba Airlines. Last week Judge Allan L. Gropper granted Northwest's request for the same authority on 108 planes.
Northwest has said it does not plan to abandon all of those aircraft, but it can now negotiate more favorable leases on them.
"It shows that they really mean business, that they're going to get this thing done right in bankruptcy so they can be a viable competitor long term," Calyon Securities analyst Ray Neidl said.
Northwest's next battle in bankruptcy court is to take place Nov. 16 over union contracts.
Northwest wants Gropper to terminate its nine union contracts and allow the cash-strapped airline to impose lower wages and layoffs on its 29,000 union workers if the carrier can't convince its unions to make $1.4 billion in concessions. Northwest seeks wage cuts ranging from 5% to 30%.
Northwest has asked its:
Ground workers union to give up $190 million annually, with most members taking a 12.5% pay cut.
Flight attendants to take $195 million in cuts, which includes outsourcing of 75% of the attendants on international flights and all of those flying in any new Northwest subsidiary.
Pilots to accept $611 million in annual wage and benefit reductions, including $250 million in concessions the pilots union made last year.
Northwest last reported results in July. Since then, its mechanics have gone on strike, fuel prices have increased dramatically, and it has filed for bankruptcy protection.

Description The invention is in the field of printing technology and relates to a process and an apparatus for joining together printed partial products and a printed product produced according to the process. Many different processes for joining together printed paper sheets to form an end product are known. In the printing field particular use is made of wire stitching processes, in which folded paper sheets are joined together in the fold by means of staples. Occasionally in a preliminary stage a stitching of partial products take place and in a subsequent process stage they are inserted in an end product and connected thereto. A two-stage process has proved satisfactory for the binding of top quality books. In a first process stage the printed sheets are combined with one another by thread binding to form a booklet, leaflet or the like and in a second stage several booklets or leaflets are combined in an adhesive binding process. In these binding processes the individual booklets must be juxtaposed, so that the book back is freely accessible for mull lining and back adhesive coating. This process is unsuitable for the production of newspapers and periodicals. Two-stage binding is also used in the production of printed products in high capacity printing plants. The reasons for a two- or multiple-stage binding are inter alia that partial products are often produced in different partial processes, e.g. on different printing plants or in time-displaced production phases. The partial processes can e.g. be integrated in to a rotary printing process. Unlike in the aforementioned book binding method, in said process the individual booklets are not juxtaposed and are instead inserted in one another. Innovations in the mechanical binding of paper layers became necessary when high capacity printing plants became available, which were able to produce up to 100,000 printed products every hour. Thus, besides other conventional binding possibilities of late the possibility of adhesive binding has become known, in which the adhesive is injected into the fold of the printed product. The corresponding injection adhesion process is described in Swiss Patent Application 1155/89-3 (corresponding to EP 0390734), whose content is assumed as known for the present application. However, great significance is still attached to wire stitching. The latter inter alia provides the possibility of integrating the stitching process into the printing process as a result of rotary wire stitchers. Such stitching systems have a high capacity, but are relatively expensive. A booklet or leaflet can have up to about 100 pages. The paper is folded after stitching. In the case of rotary wire stitching the staples are pressed through the spread-out paper piles against an abutment without a locking mechanism. Therefore the stitching is not of high quality. The wire ends can easily project from the paper, which can be disadvantageous during the further processing. In other applications use can be made of so-called single wire stitching, but this has a lower capacity, i.e. less printed products can be processed per unit of time than in the case of rotary wire stitching. However, the product can have over 300 pages. Single or individual wire stitchers have a stitching abutment with a locking mechanism, but such systems are expensive. An advantage of wire stitching is that the finished product can be completely opened. There is no closed folding edge covering part of the printed information. However, wire stitching also suffers from significant disadvantages. Apart from the problem of material application through the staples in the back, there are limits to the reliability of wire stitching if it is necessary to produce thick end products with 200 or more pages. However, conventional adhesive binding, which would fundamentally be suitable for large products and in which the paper layers are bundled, milled and subsequently back-bonded, cannot be used in connection with high capacity printing plants. The reason for this is in particular the long drying time and the associated relatively slow processing rate. There is nowadays an increasing need, particularly in the production of large end products using high speed processes to gather together prefabricated partial products in an appropriate manner and then bind the same. However, the known processes only offer unsatisfactory possibilities in this connection or are unable to fulfil the requirements as regards quality, speed, flexibility and cost. However, it is far from simple to solve this problem. The subsequent joining together of already stitched partial products is also problematical in other respects. When joining together stapled booklets with an additional staple there is e.g. a risk of the second staple being impeded by the initial staple on pressing in, so that a reliable connection is not obtained. This problem can admittedly be counteracted by assuring that the two staples are displaced on the back. However, when simultaneously using the same wire stitching device for both binding processes this makes it necessary for adjustments between the processing steps, which leads to technical problems and involves corresponding additional costs. The adjustment is particularly difficult in the case of single wire stitchers having a stitching abutment with a locking mechanism. In generalizing, the problem is that the process used for joining together the partial products and the subsequent process of gathering and joining said partial products to the end product must not impede one another. In addition, the combination of wire stitching with conventional adhesive stitching is problematical, because the pressing of the staples through the glued back can be hindered. It must finally also be borne in mind that a process for joining partial products must be easily integratable in to conventional further processing operations and must not lead to additional problems in the gathering of the partial products, particularly in high speed processes, i.e. where about 100,000 copies have to be produced every hour. An object of the present invention is to provide a process and a corresponding apparatus making it possible to join the already prebound partial products to an end product while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages. The process and apparatus must allow a processing speed of approximately 40,000 copies per hour and higher, as well as providing an inexpensive, reliable binding. A further object of the invention is to provide a process and a corresponding apparatus making it possible to gather and join together in a flexible manner partial products, which, if necessary, should be detachably connectable. The inventive concept is to join the partial products by means of an adhesive process to form the end product. However, use is not made of a conventional adhesive process with a fold-side roughening but rather the collected partial products are bonded together at the fold back edge or fold inside. Compared with joining by stitching, adhesion offers the possibility of influencing the joining or connecting level, i.e. the strength, which gives the process additional flexibility. The process in particular offers advantages in conjunction with the injection adhesion process. The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter, relative to non-limitative embodiments and the attached drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventionally bound end product with two stitched partial products; FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an inventively bound end product with three partial product bound by injection adhesion; FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an inventively bound end product with three stitched partial products; FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an end product with a cover or wrapper and a partial product bound by injection adhesion; FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an end product with a stitched partial product into which is bonded at a random point a partial product bound by injection adhesion; FIG. 6 is a partial side elevation of an embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention; FIG. 7 is a developed view of the conveying section between the adhesion pressing stations; FIG. 8 is a partial side elevation of a further embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention; and FIG. 9 is a similar view of yet another embodiment of an apparatus in accordance with the invention. The invention more particularly relates to the joining together of prefabricated partial products or partial products simultaneously obtained on different process lines to obtain an end product. The possibility of preparing partial products in early process stages is presently used to a relatively limited extent and the reasons for this were given hereinbefore. It can even be said that often a preliminary, fixed connection of several printed sheets to a partial product is only unwillingly accepted, because difficulties have been encountered in the further processing of these partial products. In conventional processes, to the extent that partial products were in fact bound, generally a stitched partial product was subsequently inserted in another partial product and the two products were then stitched together. Otherwise partial products which were not intended to merely be subsequently loosely inserted were only bound in exceptional cases and only the completely gathered together end products was bound. The inventive idea is to utilise in a planned manner the possibilities of prefabricated, bound partial products during the further processing. Thus, it is possible to make more flexible conventional possibilities for joining folded sheets or partial products and in addition new end products types can be created. Compared with known processes the occurrence of partial products is not looked upon as a "necessary evil", but instead the partial products form an essential element of the inventive process. FIG. 1 shows an end product 1 joined in a conventional manner by wire stitching, together with a subsequently inserted, prestitched supplement or insert 3. Apart from the insert 3, the main product comprises several partial products 2a,2b. As can be gathered from the drawing, staples 6a,6b which hold together the partial products 2a,2b and the insert 3, must be inserted in displaced manner with respect to the previously inserted staples 7a,7b. The insert 3 can only be inserted at the inner fold of the innermost partial product 2a, if the staples 6a,6b are to simultaneously connect the insert 3 and all the partial products 2a,2b. This means that the inter-inserted partial products 2a,2b must be precisely opened again in the center prior to inserting the insert. In order to be able to bring this about in a reliable manner, a prefold is required on the partial product. However, stitching means that the partial products and the insert must be placed in precisely defined reciprocal position on a back-gauge in order to allow exact stitching. FIG. 2 shows an end product produced by a preferred embodiment of the inventive process. Three partial products 2a-2c are gathered together in such a way that the outer fold of the inner partial products 2b,2c is located in a corresponding inner fold of another partial product 2a,2b, i.e. a centrally inserted arrangement is obtained. The individual partial products 2a-2c in this case each comprise several paper layers joined together in a not shown manner. The individual partial products are not stitched together, but are interconnected in the fold by adhesive points 5a,5b. The adhesive points can be formed by different ways. The adhesive can be applied at a continuous or interrupted strip or in the form of glue spots. The adhesive is e.g. applied to the outer fold and in special cases possibly also to the inner fold of the individual partial products 2b,2c, which will be explained hereinafter. In a preferred form use is made of partial products, which have paper layers joined together by the injection adhesion process according to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/492,532. It must be borne in mind that the terminology used in connection with the arrangement of the partial products only relates to their reciprocal position and not the way in which they are gathered together. Such an arrangement of the partial products to the end product can be brought about by collecting or inserting. The end product has a modular structure, i.e. a printed product of this type, although entirely bound together, can be subsequently easily broken down in to its modules, i.e. into its partial products. FIG. 3 shows another use example, in which each of the individual partial products 2a-2c is stitched together. Also in conjunction with partial products stitched in this way, the inventive process has various advantages. Once again the partial product 2a-2c are interconnected by adhesive points 5a,5b. No attention need be paid to the position of the staples 7a-7c when collecting together the partial products. As shown, they can e.g. be superimposed. A displacement of the individual staples in the direction of the fold does not influence the connection or joining to form the end product. Even in the case of a considerable displacement of the staples, unlike in the case of conventional final stitching, there is no collision between the staples 7a-7c with in this case, a superfluous joint staple. Thus, there is no problem of a precise positioning in the direction of the fold prior to joining. The partial products can be inserted in one another or collected in an approximate reciprocal alignment and subsequently cut on two or three sides. Another use of the process is shown in FIG. 4. A partial product 2, which can in turn consist of several inventively bound partial products, is to be subsequently surrounded by a cover or wrapper 4. The cover can e.g. consist of a firmer paper than that used for the partial products or can be made from a different material. Compared with a conventional stitching, the cover is not only connected by means of two clips to the inner part in the vicinity of the fold, but is instead connected over the entire length and at several points to the partial product 2. Particularly in the case of covers made from a firmer or stronger material and comprehensive inner parts, conventional stitching suffered from the disadvantage that there was a tearing risk at the normally two stitching point. This makes it clear that not only can partial products be connected together, but that the process also offers advantages if individual printed sheets are to be connected to partial products. An important advantage of the inventive process is the possibility of bringing about a "variable intensity" connection of the partial products. In conventional processes, e.g. wire stitching, the printed sheets or two or more partial products could only be firmly interconnected or then loosely inserted in one another or collected. However, the present process permits a connection, which can vary in continuous manner from a strong to an only slight connection. This e.g. makes it possible to easily detachably connect one partial product to another and the corresponding partial product can easily be released from the end product. The partial products are not damaged or destroyed during removal. There is no need to open staples and the like. This e.g. makes it possible to detach in undamaged form a regular supplement to the periodical, e.g. a television program schedule. Another important advantage is that e.g. several newspaper bands can be joined together, but, if necessary, individual bands can be detached or the end product can be broken down into parts. The modular structure of the end product with the controllable intensity of the connection of the individual partial products can be realised in several different variants. Thus, inventive process extends the hitherto known connection possibilities within the industrial further processing of printed products and creates new possibilities, or allows additional degrees of freedom in connection with joining to form the end product. The novel concept and its possibilities are illustrated by the following table. ______________________________________ Conventional Process Invention______________________________________Size of partial products 1-100 pages 1-100 paqesSize of end products 1-300 pages basically unlimitedNumber of partial only one prestitched number of pre-products and subsequently connected partial stitched in partial products variable productConnection intensity fixed/none continuously variable from strong to easily detachablePositioning in fold fundamentally fundamentallydirection necessary unnecessaryInsertion only central insertion andpossibilities insertion connection possible at different points______________________________________ It must be borne in mind that the partial products according to the invention fundamentally, but not exclusively, consist of interconnected printed sheets. The inventive process extends the possibility of binding in high speed processes within the scope of the further processing of printed products in numerous different ways. End product types can be characterized by different features, such as e.g. the end product size, the size and number of the partial products, etc. In a specific process, e.g. wire stitching or adhesive binding, only specific features of the end product can be varied and the latter can only be varied in specific ranges. Thus, it is not e.g. possible with conventional processes using wire stitching to obtain an end product with approximately 300 pages at a high process speed. The advantage of the novel process is that end product types with new features can be provided and these can be varied within wide ranges. The fundamentally available options can be used alone or in combination, so that this brings about the sought flexibility of the process. The process is particularly suitable for joining prefolded partial products, e.g. tabloids, because then the inner partial product is readily accessible at its fold out side. The possibility of interconnecting already prebound partial products in a simple manner and at a subsequent stage makes it possible to inexpensively produce very comprehensive end products. Unlike in the case of known processes, the inventive process does not aim at holding together the partial products by a connection common to all of them, e.g. by means of two staples passing through all the partial products, but instead only one connection is needed between two partial products, i.e. the end product is modular. FIG. 5 illustrates a further novel possibility of the process. A main product 1 here contains two partial products 2a,2b, as well as an insert 3. In this example the two partial products 2a,2b are stitched together by means of staples 6a,6b. Unlike in the example according to FIG. 1, the insert 3 is not centrally inserted and is instead inserted at a random point of the outer partial product 2a, i.e. is inserted in centrally displaced manner. The possibility of a modular construction of the main product in conjunction with the variable intensity of the connections between in each case two partial products offers important advantages. The process advantages can be utilized when producing the printed products. It is made much easier to prepare individual partial products, store them and only join them to the end product at a later stage. This new type of modular end product can be obtained in a simple inexpensive manner. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention. From a feed or supply means 10 the outer partial products 2a are fed or supplied to a collecting means 20. In known manner said outer partial products 2a are held e.g. by means of conveying clips 31. The collecting means is formed in the present example by a drum rotating in the direction of arrow F and which has on its periphery a plurality of radially directed collecting supports 25. Such collecting means and supply means belong to the prior art and possible variants are e.g. described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,489,930 and 4,684,116. Each of the collecting supports 25 already carries an inner partial product 2b, which is supplied to the collecting supports in a not shown manner at another point and which is conventionally displaced in the axial direction of the drum. The drawing also shows an opening station 21, an adhering station 22, a straightening station 23 and a pressing station 24. The gathering and connecting of the partial products 2a,2b takes place in a multiphase process. The adhering station is used for applying adhesive points to the inner partial products 2b at the fold. The adhesive is supplied by an adhesive supply and control unit 35 of the adhering station. At right angles to the conveying direction F it has arrays 34 with a plurality of controllable valves, which are used for transferring the adhesive to the fold backs of the inner partial products. It is possible to apply the adhesive to the entire fold or to only areas 5 thereof. The thus prepared partial product 2b are conveyed on in conveying direction F. At an opening station 21 the outer partial products 2a conveyed by means of the supply means 10 are centrally opened and at a supply point 11 are brought over the partial products 2b, also over the collecting supports 25. Once the conveying clips have released the outer partial products 2a, the latter come to rest with their fold inside on the glued fold of the inner partial products 2b. The engaging partial products 2a,2b are then supplied to the straightening station, which brings about a reciprocal alignment in the fold direction. The aligned partial products 2a,2b then pass through a pressing station, in which the pressing element 32 press against the fold. The collecting supports 25 offer a corresponding resistance, so that the adhesive point between the two partial products is firmly pressed and consequently said products are joined to the end product. Subsequently the end product is removed in known manner at a removal station. As is apparent, the time sequence of the corresponding process stations must be so adapted that the setting time of the adhesive is taken into account or utilized in an optimum manner. The adhesive must not have set between the adhering station 22 and the straightening station 23, so that it is still possible to reciprocally align the partial products. The adhesive must almost have set at the pressing station 24, so that there is a fixed joining of the partial products after the pressing station. Account can be taken of this need to respect the setting time by arranging the individual process stations and/or by choosing the adhesive in an appropriate manner. The interconnected partial products 2a,2b can already form the end product or can serve as a partial product for further processing. Obviously and in a corresponding manner, following the pressing station further partial products can be correspondingly joined to said partial products 2a,2b. The application of the adhesive or the gluing of the fold of the inner partial products 2b can take place in numerous different ways. As a function of the desired strength of the connection, it is possible to vary the nature of the adhesive, its quantity or the number and position of adhesive points. In order to be able to speed up setting in specific uses, additional measures can be taken. Preferably use is made of ultrasonic action, such as described in the aforementioned Swiss Patent Application 1155/89-3. Ultrasonic application can take place either between the adhering station 22 and the pressing station 24 and/or following the pressing station 24 as shown in FIG. 8. An ultrasonic transducer 40 contacts the fold and is supplied with energy from an ultrasonic energy source 42. However, it is also possible to take other measures, such as e.g. the supply of hot air. Although reference is regularly made herein to adhesives, it must be borne in mind that other joining or connecting materials are suitable, which would not be covered by the narrow concept of an "adhesive". All that is important is that the joining material brought between the two partial products in the vicinity of the fold, has a joining capacity. The viscosity and setting characteristics of the adhesive or the joining material are preferably also taken into account with a view to the coordination of the individual process steps between adhesive application and pressing. Thixotropic joining materials are suitable for the process. In the presently described embodiment use is made of an adhesive, whose setting characteristics are aided by pressure action at the pressing station 24. When using other joining materials use is correspondingly made of other devices, which influence the setting or solidifying of said materials. FIG. 7 shows the cooperation of the process steps between the adhering station 22 and the pressing station 24 in greater detail. It diagrammatically shows a developed view of the conveying or processing section of FIG. 6. The outer partial products 2a are supplied by supply means 10 and the inner partial products 2b are supplied to the collecting support 25. The adhering station 22 has a plurality of adhesive transfer points 33, which can be constructed as regulatable or controllable dispensing valves or nozzles. The adhesive is supplied to the adhesive transfer points 33 by the adhesive supply means 35 (FIG. 6). In turn, the adhesive transfer points are arranged at right angles to conveying direction F on a rotating roller 3 in four linear groups or arrays 34 (cf. FIG. 6). The roller 38 rotates about an axis 41 in the direction of arrow G. The rotary speed of the roller 38 is synchronously coupled with the conveying speed of the partial product 2b in direction F. Thus, the four adhesive transfer arrays 34 successively come into contact with the fold of the traversing partial products 2b. Following the adhering station 22 the fold outside of the partial products is provided with adhesive points 4. The individual adhesive transfer points can be controlled or regulated at random. The adhesive supply means 35 can simultaneously form the control unit, in that the supplied adhesive quantity for each transfer point is dosed or metered. It is obviously also possible to provide a separate control, e.g. a computer-controlled device, which directly controls the arrays 34 or the individual transfer points 33. As a function of the controlling of the adhesive transfer arrays, the adhesive is transferred to all the adhesive transfer points 33, or only individual points are activated. Thus, by dosing the adhesive quantity and the choice of the number and position of adhesive points, it is possible to influence the strength of the connection between the partial products 2a,2b. In the straightening station 23, which is e.g. formed by two guide elements 17, the partial products 2a,2b are aligned in the direction of the fold, which is here at right angles to the conveying direction F. The adhesive which, in the vicinity of the straightening station has not yet set, permits a reciprocal displacement of the two partial products. The two partial products 2a,2b are pressed against one another in the vicinity of pressing station 24. This takes place by means of a pressing roller 18 provided with pressing elements and whose circumferential speed is also synchronously coupled with the conveying speed of the partial products. In order to be able to increase the total contact pressure action time, it is possible to successively arrange several pressing rollers 18 or stations 24, 24a as shown in FIG. 8. A good pressing action can also be obtained by a rotary pressing member, e.g. chain elements 44, (FIG. 9) which are pressed by links 4b against the fold backs of the partial products 2a,2b to be connected. As can be gathered from FIG. 6, the corresponding rotary movements G or H of the roller 38 and the pressing roller 18 are set in such a way that the adhesive transfer arrays 34 and the pressing elements 32 rotate with the conveyed printed products. In place of a collecting, it is also possible to insert the partial products. It must then be borne in mind that when inserting no glue residue are transferred at undesired points from one partial product to the other. Patent Citations

SANJAYA THANKS HIS BIGGEST SUPPORTER Sanjaya Malakar stopped by to promote his new book, "Dancing to the Music in my Head," and acknowledge the show's role in his seventh place "American Idol" finish. Howard asked Sanjaya if he felt the judges had tried to turn him into a joke, and Sanjaya admitted his role on the show was "to be outrageous." Sanjaya added that he was actually happy with the shows final outcome, noting that Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson also finished seventh. Sanjaya laughed that he spent most of his "American Idol" money on a Toyota Prius for his sister and other junk: "I was really comfortable and then I realized I had to make more money...I didn't listen." Howard asked Sanjaya about all the pot plants that were found in his mom's garage, but Sanjaya dismissed the case, saying the 316 plant-operation was "overblown" by police and was really intended for "medical use." SANJAYA'S NOT GAY?! Howard told Sanjaya that he "assumed you were gay, but in your book you say you're straight." Sanjaya answered that he had a girlfriend shes currently a high school senior - and an active sex life (with her): "I'm not [gay]. Penises are weird looking." Howard also asked Sanjaya to admit the show had a role in his "Idol" success, so Sanjaya acknowledged Howard's support: "It's obviously a good thing." Howard wondered if Sanjaya would ever pose nude, and Sanjaya said he might: "I would if it were a really classy...I wouldn't do Playgirl...in the future, done right." Howard read a few trash-talking quotes from Blake Lewis - one of Sanjaya's fellow "Idol" contestants - but Sanjaya refused to answer in kind. Eric the Midget then called in to ask Sanjaya a question, but Howard cut him off, as Eric had been a vocal Sanjaya detractor during his "Idol" stint. If anyone wants to listen here: Part 1 Part 2 Some of the questions are pretty vulgar so yeah... Overall it's sorta informing. He talks briefly about the whole Blake thing. -------------------- |

HOLD THE PHONE. SANJAYA'S...NOT A VIRGIN?!?! I didn't need to know that. I was just fine thinking my Jaya was pure and untouched. I didn't know he had an active sex life with his girlfriend either. I remember hearing he lost his virginity in highschool, but I forget might have been someone else. Although it's surprising because his girlfriend is still in high school and he's 19.

Mr. Phillips

Mr. Phillips wakes on a summer's Monday morning in his modest, nearly mortgage-free house, ready to face another ordinary working day. Except this day is far from ordinary, for on the previous Friday, Mr. Phillips was summarily sacked. Unable to deal with this disaster--unable even to tell his own wife--Mr. Phillips rises at his usual hour and prepares himself for the job he no longer has. As he wanders the streets of London, what he sees triggers memories. Gradually a picture develops of a decent man who, only days before, knew exactly who and what he was--husband, home-owner, father, valued employee--and on this day wonders who and what he can become.
Using the bits and pieces of one man's past, John Lanchester has drawn a fully dimensional life and, in the process, made in Mr. Phillips an Everyman for our times.
John Lanchester is the author of The Debt to Pleasure (winner of the Whitbread and Hawthornden prizes) and Mr. Phillips. Raised in Hong Kong, he now lives in London with his wife and sons.
"Near-perfect." --The Washington Post Book World
"The Debt to Pleasure...was greeted with such approval around the world (translated into more than 20 languages) as to make it a very tough act to follow. With Mr. Phillips, he has given readers that rare thing, a second novel better than the first." --Thomas Lynch, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Lanchester triumphs again as the poet laureate of male hysteria, creating a fully imagined, entirely convincing, and utterly unlikely hero." --Boston Sunday Globe

SEASIDE, Ore. Scientists on the Oregon Coast this week will share current information and science on marine debris left by the Japanese tsunami in 2011.
Federal, state, and local experts started hosting meetings Wednesday in Seaside to talk about everything from ghost ships to what to expect while beachcombing.
The bulk of debris should arrive on the West Coast in 2013, officials estimate. More:Scientists predict when tsunami debris will arrive
Also:Huge 8.9 quake in Indonesia
The non-profit group Stopping Oregon's Litter and Vandalism says it'll be ready when that debris does wash up. The group already organizes two massive Oregon beach clean-ups every year. All events are free and open to the public.

The Associated Press reports that Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat's PLO deputy, has released a transcript of a meeting he had last month with Fatah members. Abbas is quoted as saying that the last two years of attacks on Israel have been a mistake: "What happened in these two years, as we see it now, is a complete destruction of everything we built."
The Associated Press, like Reuters, constantly imbues its purportedly factual reporting with a liberal perspective. If you read to near the end of this article, you will see that the AP describes Likud's competition in the upcoming election as "the moderate Labor Party." From a purely neutral and factual perspective, it would be more accurate to refer to "the deeply deluded Labor Party." Suffice it to say that you won't be reading about "the moderate Likud Party" in the AP's news reports.

i've got to stop sleeping with short guys. they always turn into stage 5 clingers
You must be Logged in to post a comment
I'm sleeping with a short guy. Best sex ever.
I've got to stop sleeping with tall girls. They always turn into stage 5 hags.
short guys often do get that napoleon-complex (yeah, i know, napoleon wasnt really short. its a phrase, deal with it). theyre always trying to be badass, leader, hump everything that moves or be the center of attention. kinda like a chihuahua.
The dummy that thinks this is a Jersey Shore reference should be shot...yes one of the toolbelts on the show made reference to a stage 5 clinger. However it's hilarious origins are from The Wedding Crashers you dunce!
Holy shit if that isn't the truth...
I think it is just how easy you are.
It was my first Asian!
Hoffyyy -- yes. They can. Reference Vince Vaughn in the Wedding Crashers.
Huh, that's very interesting Leto, like seriously! I mean it!
OP--they can't be stage 5 if you slept with them, dipshit
A stage 5 clinger is toilet paper stuck to your ass.
Could it be that you're stage 5 right and he is just stage 5 smart?
My friend's dating a short guy and she calls him stage 5 too.
"You better lock it up."
I have the same problem with fat bitches! But you don't have to sleep with them or even show them any attention. Bitches be crazy.
I'm tall
Btw, when you say short guys how do you mean that?
All guys are short when you're 6'1".... sigh :(

Evictions and the Eviction Process
Here for Eviction Flow Chart
Shows Timeline and Steps in an Eviction
If your landlord tells you to move, it doesn't mean you have to. In San Francisco, rent controlled tenants (most tenants) can only be evicted for certain "just causes." Plus, here, and everywhere in California, evictions must follow specific legal procedures and a court hearing before you can be forced to move, unless you are the sole lodger sharing the dwelling unit with your landlord. Beware: most "no-fault" evictions require landlords to pay relocation payments and restrict whether or not a landlord can raise the rent on a new tenant or convert the unit into a condominium. Tenants who move just because the landlord tells them to move without making the landlord actually issue an eviction notice, allow the landlord to evade re-rental and condo conversion restrictions, as well as relocation payments. Also beware: just because a landlord is selling a property, or just bought it, is not a ground for eviction (even if it's a foreclosure). Thousands of San Franciscans are evicted by greedy landlords seeking to raise rentsif you are facing an unjust eviction, fight backyou can win.
Do Tenants Get Relocation Payments?
No-fault evictions (just causes of eviction for the Ellis Act, owner move-in, demolition, capital improvement, & substantial rehabilitation) get relocation payments (click here for Ellis Act relocation amounts; click here for all other amounts.)
Long Does An Eviction Take?
varies case by case, of course, but from the time most tenants get their first notice to the point when
the sheriff comes to evict takes at least a month or two, assuming the
tenant responds to all notices. The basic steps of an eviction are:
(1) Landlord gives eviction notice. (2) If tenant doesn't move, landlord
issues second eviction notice through the court. (3) Tenant can challenge
the eviction in court. (4) Court rules for tenant or landlord. (5) If landlord
wins, sheriff posts final eviction notice at the tenant's home and evicts the tenant at the end
of that notice period.
Are Done Only Through Court (Except for Lodgers)
When you rent a dwelling unit, you have legal possession until you either
choose to give up possession or the landlord gets a court order for
possession. You have the right to bring your case to a jury. If you
win, you get to stay. If you lose, only the sheriff has the right to
remove you, unless you are the sole lodger sharing the dwelling unit with the landlord. (The landlord needs the right of access to the lodger's room to qualify as sharing the dwelling unit.)
You have all these rights even if you are behind in your rent. Your landlord cannot put your belongings on the street or lock you out or turn off your utilities. This is a violation of California Civil Code Section 789.3 and the landlord is liable for $100 a day in penalties.
Eviction ProcessHelp Is Available
The legal eviction process is long and complicated. Along the way there
are many possibilities for negotiations and ways to make the law work
in your favor. Talk to the Tenants Union or a tenant attorney and plan
your strategy. You will probably need help in dealing with various court
forms and procedures. Go to the Eviction Defense Collaborative if you have received court eviction papers if you do not have a tenant attorney.
First Eviction Notice
An eviction usually begins with a 3 or 60 day notice (30 days for tenants who have lived in their units less than a year). Generally 3 day
notices are given for "curable" evictions (e.g., "pay
the rent in 3 days or be evicted") while 60 or 30 day notices are
non-curable ("I will be moving into your apartment"); these
non-curable notices usually must be at least 60 days.
You do not
have to leave your home by the end of this notice and your landlord
cant force you out, unless you are a sole lodger sharing the dwelling unit with your landlord. If you havent moved by the end of this
period, only then can the landlord can begin the court eviction process.
Talk to the Tenants Union when you get your notice and see if its
a legal notice and what you should do about it.
If you are covered by the San Francisco Rent Ordinance, you can only be evicted for one of 16 just causes and the eviction notice must state what cause the landlord has.
Second NoticeUnlawful Detainer
If the tenant doesn't move by the end of the first eviction notice,
the landlords goes to court and issues a 2nd eviction notice called
an Unlawful Detainer. Tenants will then receive a Summons
and Complaint For Unlawful Detainer. YOU MUST RESPOND TO THIS
IN FIVE DAYS or you will lose your right to a hearing on your eviction
and the eviction will move much quicker. You begin counting the
5 days the day after you receive the Summons; weekends and holidays
count as days, but the 5 days cannot end on a weekend or holiday. If
you do not respond, you will lose automatically.
You respond to the Summons by completing a court form called an Answer.
Your answer must be filed on this form, it must be typewritten, and you
must follow certain legal procedures. The Eviction Defense Collaborative, will help you complete the paperwork and
file an Answer. You must go there in person.
Your landlord will have to sit down with you before a judge
and try to reach a compromise settlement if you have not reached a settlement without the judge. The eviction
hearing is a trial and you can demand a jury trial.
You may have
various legal defenses: Not paying rent can be justified because
of uncorrected housing code violations
or your lease said nothing about the restriction the landlord is claiming
or you know for a fact that what the landlord is claiming is the reason
for the eviction is not true. (For example, the
landlords mothers not moving in because she supposedly moved
in upstairs last year.) Or you may have procedural defenses: Your landlord
accepted rent after the notice expired or the eviction notice
was not legal.
You may want to talk to a tenant attorney about representing you for your eviction. This will probably cost you money but if you have good legal or procedural defenses and you want to remain in your home permanently, it may be worth it.
Before you go to court for your trial, you will attend
a Settlement Conference. This is where the judge attempts
to have you and your landlord settle the case. Your landlord probably
wants to go to court less than you do and tenants can often reach an
acceptable settlement at this point. Remember, though, you do not have
to settle your case; you have the right to have your day in court.
When you go to court, your landlord will present his case to the judge or jury and then you will present your case. You will be able to bring witnesses and present other evidence, such as certified reports from the Department of Building Inspection. If the judge or jury decides in your favor, you will get to stay. If the judge or jury decides in the landlords favor, the judge will send the eviction order to the Sheriff.
Credit Reports and Evictions
Court filings of
evictions are sealed for 60 days, and if the tenant wins, they will
be sealed permanently. However, some agencies that specialize in tenant screening may report the eviction. For evictions which have shown up on your tenant
report, see the Federal Trade Commission requirements concerning landlord credit reports.
Third NoticeThe Sheriff's Notice
Once the sheriff has received the court order, he will come and post
a Notice to Vacate on your door. The notice gives you 5 days to leave
and if you do not leave by that time, the sheriff will come and remove
you unless you obtained an extension. If you cant
leave within the 5 days, you can go back to court and file a Stay
of Execution. You will need to pay one weeks rent and this will delay the eviction for a week. The law requires your
landlord to put your belongings into storage for 15 days if you have not removed them by the time the sheriff removes you.
Long Until Im Evicted After the Summons and Complaint?
If you file an Answer to the Summons and Complaint, it will take at
least 4-6 weeks from that point before the Sheriff evicts you. Sometimes
it can take much longer, especially if you have a good case or if you
aggressively defend your eviction on legal and procedural grounds.
If you do not file an Answer to the Summons and Complaint, the Sheriff could remove you from your home in the next week or two.
