A keeper for a bolt having a catch (4) and a housing (27, 28) which presents two internal faces provided with grooves (29). These grooves (29) form an angle with the direction according to which the bolt of the lock moves. A runner (30) carries on two opposite sides forms (31) corresponding to the grooves (29) and sliding in the latter. This runner (30) presents an opening (33) intended to give way to the bolt, one edge (34) of which forms a supporting side for this bolt. Two adjusting screws (32) allow adjustment of the position of the runner (30) with respect to the housing (27, 28) while 4 screws (36) connecting plaques (34, 35) leaning on the housing (27,28) allowing the blocking of the runner (30) with respect to this housing.
1. A keeper comprising a bolt receiving housing for said keeper, said housing being intended to be fixed to the frame of a door, characterized by the fact that said housing comprises on two internal sides facing each other parallel grooves forming an angle with the direction of movement of the bolt; said bolt having a supporting component and a runner presenting an opening allowing said bolt and said supporting component of the bolt to pass; members corresponding to the said grooves adapted to slide in said grooves; adjusting means being provided to allow the runner to move with respect to the housing and a blocking device for fixing the runner on the housing in the desired position.
2. A keeper according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the housing has a U shape and that the grooves are made in the internal sides facing each other of the wings of the U.
3. A keeper according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the said members co-operating with said grooves are displaced with respect to the longitudinal symmetry axis of the said runner and therefore with respect to the symmetry of one axis of its opening.
4. A keeper according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the adjusting means of the position of the runner are set-screws.
5. A keeper according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that the blocking device comprises two plaques connected by the screws crossing said runner, said plaques bearing against the front and back sides of the housing.
6. A keeper according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that a bolt and stirrup therefor are provided and the stirrup has slots which are centered on a straight line forming an angle with the moving direction of movement of the bolt.
7. A keeper according to claim 1, having a pair of extensions, said extensions being guided in a direction forming a right angle with the straight line connecting the slots.
8. A keeper according to claim 1 characterized by the fact that the U-shape wings of the housing of the catch widen slightly starting from the base.
9. A keeper according to claim 4, said adjusting means comprising an adjusting screw, a catch and a cap screwed into said adjusting screw, a set screw being carried by said cap, said cap being screwed into a threaded opening in the adjusting screw which is provided for adjusting the position of the runner.
10. A keeper according to claim 9, having an operating linchpin for said bolt and a cylinder, said linchpin being driven by the cylinder, said linchpin being held between a ring, pivoted in an opening of the base plaque and a cover leaning on the internal face of said plaque and rivited to another plaque leaning on the other face of the base plaque.
The object of the present invention is a door lock whose main object is to allow adjustment of the height of the supporting surface of the catch for the bolt. Thus can be used the same catch for doors of different thicknesses without having to use a prop.
Such a lock exists and is described in the Swiss Pat. No. 2 493 725 which comprises a catch whose bolt supporting component is adjustable by discrete increments. This is however not entirely satisfactory as it should be possible to adjust the position of this support in a continuous fashion in order to ensure perfect adjustment of the lock.
For this the door lock of the present invention comprises a catch whose housing is intended to be fixed to the frame of the door and which is remarkable by the fact that said housing of the catch comprises, on two internal sides facing each other, parallel grooves forming an angle with the moving direction of the bolt; by the fact that a runner presenting an opening through which the bolt may pass and a support of the latter, comprises forms corresponding to said grooves and slot into the latter; by the fact that adjusting means allow the movement of the runner with respect to the housing and by the fact that a blocking device enables the runner to be fixed on the housing in the desired position.
The attached drawing illustrates schematically and by way of an example a production form of the door lock according to the invention.
FIG. 1 is a cross-section, following line A--A of FIG. 2, of the door lock.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section, following line E--E of a part of the lock illustrated on FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross-section, following line F--F of FIG. 5.
FIG. 4 is a cross-section, following line D--D of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a cross-section following line C--C of FIG. 1.
FIG. 6 is a cross-section following line B--B of FIG. 1.
The lock illustrated comprises one part 1 containing a housing 2,2a, the bolt 3 and its operating mechanism, as well as a catch 4.
A control button 5 is mounted rotatively on housing 2, held axially by an interior plaque 6 fixed to button 5 by screws. This button 5 comprises two pins 7, diametrically opposite each other with respect to its rotary axis, extending beyond plaque 6 inside housing 2,2a.
With respect to button 5, the base plaque 2a comprises an opening in which a ring 8 is pivoted. This ring comprises a rectangular central opening giving way to a tongue 9 solid with the revolving part of a locking cylinder 10 fixed on a plaque 11, by screws 12.
The ring 8 is held in position by a plaque 13 riveted to a cover 14 situated on both sides of the ring 8 and the base plaque 2a.
A pin 15 is fitted in an offset hole of the ring 8 and stretches beyond cover 14 towards the inside of the housing. This pin comprises a flange 16 held between the cover 14 and the ring 8.
The bolt 3 is assembled by two parallel supporting plaques 17 by pins 18. Plaques 17 are fixed to each other by rods 19. These plaques 17 are mounted by sliding inside housing 2,2a.
The supporting plaques 17 comprise a central opening 20 presenting lateral extensions 21, 22 together forming a guide for a transversely mobile stirrup 23 with respect to said plaque 17.
The mobile stirrup is formed by two plaques 24, situated between plaques 17 and fixed parallel to each other.
Springs 24a tend to move stirrup 23 in the direction of arrow f with respect to supporting plaques 17.
The stirrup plaques 23 each present four slots 25 co-operating respectively with pins 7 of the button and pin 15 driven by cylinder 10 with a view to the operation of the bolt 3, either by button 5 or by a key operating said cylinder 10.
Note that the straight line passing through the centre of the slots 25 of the stirrup 23 forms a slight angle with the longitudinal axis of the lock. Thus a self-locking bolt. In fact, when bolt 3 is in the active position, fully fitted in catch 4, it is not possible to move it by pressing on the bolt. In fact, if pressure is applied following arrow f on the bolt, the button tends to turn in the direction of arrow Y, due to the incline of the straight line joining slots 23, and the linchpin 7 of this button abuts against part 26 of one of the supporting plaques 7 prohibiting any movement of the bolt. To ensure good functioning of the lock, it is important that extensions 21, 22 are placed perpendicular to the straight line joining slots 25.
Bolt 3 can therefore only be moved backwards and forwards by button 5 or cylinder 10.
This part 1 of the lock is intended to be fixed to the door leaf partly with the help of screws not illustrated.
Catch 4 of the lock comprises a housing presenting a general U form intended to be fixed with the help of screws not illustrated, on the frame partly by its central median part 27.
Wings 28 of the housing comprise on their internal side, oblique grooves 29, i.e. forming an angle with the moving direction of bolt 3 of the lock.
A runner 30 whose two opposite edges are equipped with forms 31 corresponding to the grooves 29 slides in these grooves, under action of the adjusting screw 32.
This runner comprises an opening 33 with one side 34 constituting a supporting face for bolt 3 of the lock.
The catch comprises another blocking device of the runner in the desired position which comprises two plaques 34, 35, leaning on the back and front sides of the wings of the housing 28 joined by screws 36 passing through the runner 30.
When the srews 36 are loosened, it is possible, with the help of screw 32, to adjust in a continuous fashion and with all the desired precision, the position of the supporting face 34 for the bolt. This adjustment having been carried out, the screws 36 are tightened causing the runner to block in this position. Preferably, the wings of the housing 28, seen from the side, widen very gradually from the base of the U towards their free ends. In this way a better fixing of the plaques 34, 35 is obtained. For one variant it can be foreseen that the front and back edges of the wings of the housing 28 are rough or slotted, similarly the corresponding sides of plaques 34, 35, with a view to fixing the plaques better and therefore the runner on the housing.
It will be noticed that the forms 31 of the runner 30 are not centred on its symmetry axis so that in turning the runner, the opposite edge of opening 33 then serving as a supporting component, are obtained for identical positions of the runner 30 with respect to the housing 27, 28, different positions of the supporting component 34 for the bolt. Through this artificial means the adjusting capacity of the catch can be doubled for a given incline of the grooves.
It is possible for the grooves 29 to be inclined so that a maximum movement of the runner corresponds to a rising movement of the supporting surface corresponding to half of the thickness of the bolt.
Covers or caps 37, 38 are intended to encircle the housing 27, 28. Cap 37 is fixed by screws 39 co-operating with a threading provided in the adjusting screws 32.

"The colors (Reef) were bright, the lettering was gorgeous, and the photo we picked out was centered right where we wanted it. The material is on durable paper. Everything about this Save the Date card was done with perfection and detail. I love it, my fiance loves it, and my guests love it as well. The majority of our guests have complimented our selection saying how stunning and graceful it looks and resembles who we are. I couldn't be more happier. Can't wait to send our Invites from the same product."
"My photo turned out a bit darker than expected, I wish the designer would have mentioned that in the proofing. However, I am still very happy with my save the dates and especially how quickly they were made and arrived!"
"I am so in LOVE with our cards! The ease of working with your team made this project so much more exciting. You all were able to customize my project as I requested without any problems!! The printing looks beautiful and full of color! The shipping was fast and came before I expected. I can't wait to send them out! I will definitely be looking at your team to create my wedding invitations!! Keep up the great work!"
"Ordering these save the dates was a whole lot simpler than I anticipated, and I ended up with exactly what I wanted- a cute, personal, and fun card--just like me and my fiance. The paper and printing was perfect, and they arrived to me super quick. BEAUTIFUL!"
"I really loved the design of this card; it was simple, yet elegant and I liked being able to personalize with my wedding color - blush. I chose blush on the back as well; the designer even added my wedding website to the back! I chose the basic, standard paper and it is a nice matte finish that does not feel cheap at all. Quality of the photo could have been a little better, but I love the look of the card so much that it doesn't even seem to matter! Also, I recommend the rounded edges - just a little more classically elegant than the cut shown in the display photo."

Images of "Vintage Violence" at Monya Rowe Gallery
Tuesday, June 17, 2014 | 1 year ago
Monya Rowe Gallery's sharp-witted group exhibition "Vintage Violence" features work dating from 1981 to the present, illustrating that violence, like wine, is subject to epochal vagaries. Some of the images provide aesthetic ripostes to Kael's outrage, seeming to ask: Who in their right mind comes to New York looking for sanity and order anyway? Certainly not Carroll Dunham, whose 1998 ballpoint drawing of apartment buildings come to life, screaming at each other and brandishing shivs, nails those scintillating interactions we've all had with the upstairs neighbors. The artist's postcard scale adds squeamish intimacy to the scene. Keep reading R. C. Baker's column: "'Vintage Violence': Every Year's a Good One for Pain and Death

Weigh-ins are out.
Weigh-ins are out.
Here's some more weigh ins with comments that should prove useful.
Looks like Eric Fisher is the best player there and will go top 5 now.
Yeah, not sure on top 5, but I doubt he makes it past the Cards.
My take so far:
None of the QBs look great to me. They all flash talent but are really inconsistent. Glennon and Nassib have been the best of the bunch. Dysert has an arm but looks really raw and nervous.
RBs - Barner looks good, beyond that I haven't paid too much attention to them. Most of the practice drills have been one-on-ones OL vs DL, QBs, etc and little for the RBs.
WR - looks like a pretty good group to me. Patton was impressive yesterday vs Trufant, who has also been looking very good. Terrance Williams looked up and down, did a poor job of getting off the jam in the practices yesterday IMO. Markus Wheaton looked quite good and Denard Robinson looked raw but explosive. Tavarres King, Dobson, etc looked good, as well.
OL - Lane Johnson looks great, could be a top 15-20 pick. David Quessenberry had a really good day at LG. Brian Schwenke, Larry Warford, and Brian Winters had good days. Rick Wagner, Oday Aboushi, Braxston Cave were awful. Justin Pugh and Xavier Nixon looked like guys that could be pretty good at OG.
DL - Ansah got stoned a bunch of times, looked athletic but really raw. Mayock commented that he would be scared to risk a 1st on him and based solely on yesterday's performance, I would agree. Cornelius Washington just destroyed Aboushi, it was a blood bath, quite impressed with him. Datone Jones was also very impressive, I believe he was the only guy to beat Fisher. Kawann Short looked good, as well. Alex Okafor had a rough time going against Fisher. John Jenkins is a guy I tried to watch some because the Vikes be interested and I wasn't really impressed. Big guy but didn't really get much penetration IMO and seems like a 2 down player.
LB - Kevin Reddick is the only guy I really noticed making plays but didn't really pay much attention. Oh yeah, Vince Williams (I believe it was him) absolutely destroyed a pulling OG. Shot through the hole and obliterated him. They replayed it about 5 times.
DB - Robert Alford, Jordan Poyer, and Desmond Trufant were outstanding. Poyer showed quick hips and great balls skills. Really impressed with him. Trufant was trash talking a lot and playing very aggressively. I can't help but think that both may be in 1st round territory in a weak CB class IMO. I thought Jamar Taylor was solid, probably not a guy with a lot long/recovery speed, but did a good job of jamming WRs and being physical. Leon McFadden seemed to do well, too.
I probably missed some but that what I remember after watching yesterday's practices.

Lot of positive buzz about Tyler Wilson. Interviewing extremely well with teams and media folk.
Wilson is gone by 7 at the latest, if not 1`or 2.

If someone drafts Tyler Wilson top 10 that will be like the Vikings reaching for Christian Ponder a few years back and taking him at 12.
With so many QBs seemingly even and locked in a group together, along with no one really being a true blue chip player, I'd pass and take whoever is left in round 2. I just don't see much separating any of them.
Not a good QB draft at all and some of these guys will be taken way ahead of where they should be.
IMO the QBs aren't particularly bunched up. There's Geno vs Wilson and then everyone else. Geno with elite production and good skill, but questions on footwork/mechanics, offensive system, possibly attitude; Wilson with a down year (which should be taken in context), some decision-making questions, etc. Everyone else, however, has a laundry list of question marks. A guy like Glennon has the height and arm strength but according to many he looks like a clown on most of his passes. Sure, he's a guy you might simply take a punt on with the 40th pick or whatever.
There's also the big factor that the 1st pick no longer costs too much. Missing on a QB simply won't hurt you much more than missing on anyone. The REAL pain comes with 1 thing: NOT picking a QB who you should've.
And remember: there's no such thing as a "franchise" LT. You don't win anything with an elite LT. The Dolphins wish they took Matt Ryan and didn't pay attention to the question marks over his INTs and upside.
Better to swing and miss than bunt.

In his 78 years, Rusty Robbins has accumulated a lot of stories, though he is quick to point out that he considers them reports.
"I call them 'reports' and not stories," said the Flower Mound resident. "I don't add anything to my reports. Just facts as I recall them."
Those reports range in topic, from scuba diving to his time as a police officer. In fact, his 30 years with the Dallas Police Department have provided a wealth of reports.
And as the nation recognizes the 50-year anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a few reports in particular have been crossing Robbins' mind lately.
Protecting Kennedy
Robbins was working the downtown beat when Kennedy came to Dallas in November 1963. He was one of several officers in charge of monitoring the parade route that went through Dallas during Kennedy's visit.
"I worked the 1800 block of Main Street," Robbins said. "As the motorcade passed, I was instructed to watch the crowd and protect the president by not letting anyone rush out and do anything stupid. I glanced at the president, just like every other officer did."
Robbins' job was essentially done once the motorcade passed by, so as people turned to go back into their shops along Main Street, Robbins returned to the police headquarters to change clothes.
As he was about to leave the station to head home, someone came through, yelling that the president had been shot. Instead of ending his shift, Robbins went to his supervisor's office to wait for direction.
Robbins soon found himself at a nearby hotel, where the president's communication center was set up. While Robbins waited in the hotel hallway, a man emerged from the communications room and asked Robbins if he could drive him to Love Field so he could board Air Force One.
As the two men reached Love Field, they could see the presidential plane was already starting to leave the runway.
"I told him that I knew a quick way around the back to get to the plane," Robbins said. "That would have been the wrong thing to do. I was young and stupid. I think machine guns would have been pulled out, and we would have been shot to pieces if we had pulled up alongside Air Force One in an unmarked police car."
The man left Robbins to catch a civilian flight. Robbins said he never found out who the man was, but he said his involvement in the incident wasn't over yet.
Two days later, local club owner Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald, whom police had arrested in connection with the Kennedy shooting, as police were transporting Oswald from the Dallas city jail to the county jail.
Thoughts on Jack Ruby
Robbins said he was familiar with Ruby, saying The Carrousel Club owner made a point to hang around Dallas police.
"In the year prior to the assasination, I worked the police beat in downtown, which held all three strip joints in Dallas," Robbins said. "I routinely went to Jack Ruby's place as part of my regular duties. Jack was always so friendly and welcomed all police officers. There was later talk that Jack was tied in with the local police. If he was, I didn't know about it. But we went there because he was friendly. That's how I got to know Jack Ruby, and that's why I would have an opinion about him concerning the assassination later."
Robbins recalled a time when Ruby invited him to go bowling "probably to bolster the friendship," Robbins said. He said one antic by Ruby at the bowling alley was telling of what he was capable of, Robbins said.
"After the fifth or sixth frame, Jack got a strike," Robbins said. "Jack ran three lanes this way and three lanes the other way to get people to look at the scoreboard to see what he had done. He was trying to be somebody. That's why he was arm-around-neck buddies with the police. It made him a bigger person if he had police friends, in my opinion."
On Nov. 24 Ruby found his way into the police department's garage and shot Oswald.
"I can see how Ruby's character allowed that to happen," Robbins said. "Jack wanted to be acknowledged and validated. He had the desire to be known for something. I 100 percent believe that he shot Oswald because it would make him important."
As for the notion that the shooting was simply retaliation for Oswald shooting Kennedy, Robbins said he believes the shooting was spur-of-the-moment and more about Ruby wanting to be somebody.
"Records prove that Ruby was down the street at the Western Union office, sending a small sum of money to a stripper so she could catch a bus and come up here and work at his strip joint," Robbins said. "This was less than 20 minutes before Ruby shot Oswald. He had to know he would be arrested and go to jail. A sane man wouldn't do that. A man with a plan wouldn't do that."
Guarding Oswald's body
News reporters and photographers lined the hallway of the morgue at Parkland Hospital, where Oswald's body was being tended to, Robbins said.
Robbins and officer Sam Sorsby were directed to stand at the door to the morgue, armed with shotguns, to prevent anyone from getting in.
One photographer got a picture of both officers guarding the door. Robbins still has the photo, which appeared in the Dallas Times Herald. Robbins found the same photo in a book about the assassination at the Sixth Floor Museum years later.
The day of the autopsy, a Fort Worth funeral home delivered a casket to Dallas for Oswald's body, and Robbins was part of a police escort to take the casket back to Fort Worth.
Robbins said that officially ended his involvement in the series of events.
Recently, Robbins has spoken publicly about the events of that week, though he said it's not something he has spent a lot of time thinking about during the last 50 years.
"This is something you would never forget," Robbins said. "However, it did not weigh heavily on my mind. I was not much into politics or world affairs. I was just looking out for my family and personal interest. Like everyone else, I wished it had never happened here or anywhere, for that matter."

6S: "Distributing Crawling and Searching Across Web Peers"
By Filippo Menczer, Ruj Akavipat and Le-Shin Wu
available at the following URL: http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/research/publications/6S.pdfIn peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, efficient and scalable data retrieval represents a key problem. Unstructured P2P networks avoid the limitations of centralized systems and the drawbacks of structured approaches. However, their search algorithms are usually based on simple flooding schemes, showing severe inefficiencies. In this paper, in order to address this major limitation, we propose the adoption of a local adaptive routing protocol, that uses a smart neighbor selection process such that nodes with similar interest are likely to be grouped together as neighbors. Extensive simulations prove that the approach is able to dynamically adapt the topology to peer interests, organizing them into a small world network. The results also show that our algorithm has a very good impact on the successful rate, allowing to retrieve the resou- rces searched even when they are sparse.

Community celebrates Park City's mining heritage
Martinez helped organize some of the first competitions about 45 years ago, back when he was newly married and the cash prize was only $35. Winners at Monday's event walked away with $500 for first place, $400 for second place and $300 for third place in each event.
Martinez's grandson, "little Richie" Martinez, competed in the drilling contest.
The eight men competing in the mucking competition tested their speed as they worked to fill the mucker, a small tractor scoop and cart built to run on the mine's rail system.
Payson resident and longtime Miners Day competitor Remigio "Reggie" Portillo claimed the top prize, filling the mucker in 50.08 seconds. Portillo was followed by Chris Lamb of Sandy in second place and Larry Simpson of Heber City in third place.
Portillo said he and his family have made Miners Day an annual tradition for more than a decade. He was won 11 past Miners Day competitions, which he humbly accredited to luck and hard work while his family teased that the secret lies in his signature white cowboy hat.
He called Miners Day a family event.
"We make a day of it," Portillo said. "I don't come up here to win money, just to see how I do."
He and wife Jody celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary at Miners Day.
"We actually got married on Aug. 31 so that we could always celebrate our anniversary up here on Labor Day," Jody Portillo said. "It's just an exciting thing for us."
Reggie Portillo, who is 62, said he hopes to match this year's oldest competitor, 87-year-old Bernard Billings of Murray. Billings won last year's mucking competition and got a rousing cheer from the crowd for his 1-minute, 2.74-second finish.
In the drilling competition, miners were required to lug a 130-pound drill up to a prepared sandstone boulder and drill two channels about 2 feet deep into the target spots they had been assigned.
Lamb claimed first in the drilling event for his second win of the day, making his combined prize $900. Lamb finished his hole in 1:57.07. Second place went to Brian Still of Spanish Fork, who had a time of 2:00.86. Rick Thomas of Idaho Springs, Colo., claimed third place by a fraction of a second, logging a time of 2:04.09, ahead of Spencer Brown of Carlin, Nev., and his 2:04.25.
Still's elderly mother, Muriel Williams, gushed about her son and the drilling competition after the event.
"This is about six years that I've been coming," Williams said. "It's wonderful. I love every minute of it."

How do you feel about fly shots..will you or your baby be getting one? When I was pregnant around this time last year my doctor pushed me getting a flu shot and I declined. Now I have a baby I need to decide wether or not he should get one..and should I? Do the benefits outweigh the risks and vise versa?!?
Flu shots...will your baby be getting one? Thoughts? Opinions?
Posted 10/11/2012
Vincent- 12.22.11!
Posted 10/11/2012
We made it a family affair. All three of us got them on the same day.
Respiratory influenza can be deadly to an infant. LO have any negative reactions to it.
Posted 10/11/2012
Kane has to- daycare requires it. My husband and I will also get it.
My little warrior- Kane Alexander- 12/11/11

Posted 10/11/2012
I was on the fence about it also but I researched until my head hurt and the benefit seems to out weigh the risk with him being so young getting the flu would be far worse...so he got the first shot and no negative reactions...
I dont think ist something I would continue after this year, but as a baby I'm not taking any chances
Posted 10/11/2012
Yes. All of us. The shot not the nasal mist. The shot is a dead virus. The mist is a weakened version of a live virus.
Posted 10/11/2012
I believe the benefits outweigh the risks. Although I can somewhat monitor who my child comes in contact with, I can't monitor those people & who they touch! I'm not going to risk it.
Posted 10/11/2012
Saul got one today. We live in an isolated community of 30k (Juneau, Alaska), and when there is an outbreak of anything, it goes around quickly and dangerously. I've heard too many stories from moms whose LO ended up in our small hospital with the flu.
Posted 10/11/2012
I never get one and won't be getting one this year either. Neither will DH or Lo.
Me (32) married to DH (42) 7/12/08
(He's here! 12/29/11)
Posted 10/11/2012
My daughter got her first dose last week and will be getting her second dose in just under three weeks.
Posted 10/11/2012
My LO got one last month and will be getting his booster shot on the 24th. I got mine last month too!
Posted 10/11/2012
Absolutely..got her 1st dose last week. Babies die every year from the flu. The shot contains dead virus. Me and DH got ours as well.

DEFINITION of 'Cram-Up'
A situation in which junior classes of creditors impose a cram-down on senior classes of creditors during a bankruptcy or reorganization. In a cram-up a company facing bankruptcy cannot force creditors to accept compromises to their claims outside of the courtroom, but the creditors themselves can agree to the terms. If enough junior class creditors agree to the terms set forth by a company seeking refinancing, they can force holdouts to be bound to the agreement, therefore cramming the refinancing up. Senior classes of creditors would therefore be forced to accept the terms, even if they are not as good as the original deal.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Cram-Up'
There are two primary cram-up methods: reinstatement and indubitable equivalent. In a reinstatement cram-up, the maturity of debt is kept at the pre-bankruptcy level, debt collection is decelerated and the debt is "cured." Lenders are compensated for damages, but the terms of the debt are kept the same. An indubitable equivalent, which is more commonly used, involves paying a stream of cash payments to creditors equal to the amount due. While this is happening, creditors maintain their liens, which can make it difficult for a post-restructuring company to maintain the funds necessary for working capital.

WASHINGTON, Ill. — The tornado that leveled Beth and Dennis Doolans' home scattered their belongings like trash, a fate shared by many residents in the twisters' path.
Sometime later and some 80 miles away, a photograph fluttered into a yard. It was one of the Doolans' favorites, taken on their 40th anniversary. A friend spotted it on a Facebook page for lost possessions and contacted the Doolans' daughter Monday.
"There were tears of joy when I told them," said their daughter, Lisa Hoffman.
The Doolans were among the survivors of a spate of twisters and thunderstorms that pummeled a broad swath of the Midwest on Sunday.
Eight people were reported killed, including six in Illinois and two in Michigan, and dozens were hurt. National Weather Service meteorologists estimated that as many as a dozen tornadoes touched down, crushing scores of homes and injuring people with flying debris.
The storms also struck Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio, but Illinois took the brunt of the damage. Gov. Pat Quinn called the storms "the deadliest series of tornadoes Illinois has ever had in the month of November."
Two Illinois twisters could have had winds up to 200 mph, meteorologists said, which would also make them the most powerful November twisters on record in the state.
The tornado that pummeled Washington tracked through four counties and covered nearly 50 miles, staying on the ground for nearly an hour, the weather service said. It left an apocalyptic landscape snarled with plywood, drywall, twisted metal and remnants of ordinary lives: a bike helmet, a T-shirt, a basketball.
"The devastation is just unbelievable," Washington Mayor Gary Manier said. "I can't imagine people walked away from these places."
Lorelei Cox, a teacher, and her husband, Dave, were trapped in the debris of their home after the storm hit and were dug out by a former student of hers.
On Monday, when they returned to the devastated area to try to retrieve some belongings, she wasn't sure where their two-story home was. Her Volkswagen ended up in the backyard. Dave Cox said he still hadn't found his SUV — which had been parked in the driveway — or his wallet.
Lorelei Cox had only enough time to grab her purse, her phone and their dog. Dave Cox left with nothing — not even shoes.
"It's just stuff. That's what I keep telling myself," Lorelei Cox said.
Steven Neubauer, 51, was Washington's lone reported fatality. His neighbor Lori Anne Hagey said he hadn't been able to reach his basement.
Hundreds of Washington residents came to Crossroads Methodist Church for a place to sleep, a warm meal or just companionship, the Rev. Tom Goodell said.
"People more than anything are just in shock," he said. "They want to come in, want to be around other people, want to have people sit with them, pray with them, offer them hot coffee."
In Massac County, which rests along Illinois' rural southern tip, a tornado pounced on the tiny bedroom communities of Brookport and Unionville, claiming three lives and at least 50 homes.
Larry Douglas, a volunteer and former manager of the Massac County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, said Brookport had few basements because it's a river town.
"It's just a sitting duck," Douglas said. "We're becoming tornado alley here. The weather, it's all mixed up."
In late October and early November, Illinois typically has what weather service meteorologist Dan Smith described as a "second peak" of turbulent weather, when it's "not out of the question" to get tornadoes. But, he added, the magnitude of these storms was unusual for November.

I was playing good chess and was getting better and better.. but suddenly these days i am not able to look at common moves.. just like one of how i got mate in the below game! I am not able to look at all the pieces and their moves, i somehow forget something and concentrate one only one plan and the rest which i forget is ofcourse hurting me to loose!please tell me how can i get back to my normal good chess play, and improve from there on!
Ouch. Don't know what to say other than perhaps you should ask yourself more often "what is my opponent's threat?" However, mistakes like this happen quite often in openings where one side plays awkwardly and the other side doesn't stop to think what has changed due to the main line not being followed.
I believe the malady is called "tunnel vision". You get wrapped up in your plans and miss your opponent's ideas. Unfortunately, it's a little like the common cold: pretty much everyone suffers from it occasionally. And like the common cold, there is no cure except time. So hang in there Pavandlegend, you'll get back to form eventually.

American Tort Reform Association 1101 Connecticut Ave, NW Suite 400, Washington, DC 20036 (202) 682-1163 www.atra.org NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Darren McKinney (202) 682-0084 2006 'JUDICIAL HELLHOLES' INCLUDE WEST VIRGINIA, SOUTH FLORIDA, SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND THREE ILLINOIS COUNTIES Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Delaware, New Jersey & Several Other Jurisdictions Also Cited for 'Unfair and Unbalanced' Civil Courts WASHINGTON, D.C., December 13, 2006 – Naming the entire state of West Virginia, South Florida, Southeast Texas and three notoriously plaintiff-friendly counties in Illinois, the American Tort Reform Foundation (ATRF) today released its annual Judicial Hellholes ® report, shining a bright spotlight on "America's worst jurisdictions in which to face a lawsuit." American Tort Reform Association president Sherman Joyce explained to a gathering of reporters in Washington that "Judicial Hellholes are places where judges systematically apply laws and court procedures in an unfair and unbalanced manner, generally against defendants, in civil lawsuits. "What many will find interesting about this year's report is that the top six Hellholes are in states that recently enacted significant tort reforms, yet a handful of judges are either ignoring those reforms or otherwise abusing their discretion to distort cases in favor of plaintiffs." Joyce acknowledged that the Judicial Hellholes 2006 report "cites some repeat offenders, but we also single out some first-timers on our 'Watch List' and among the 'Dishonorable Mentions.' And the report's 'Points of Light' include several jurisdictions that have considerably improved civil justice, particularly when it comes to containing scandalous asbestos litigation." ATRA general Counsel Victor Schwartz noted that the fifth annual Hellholes report highlights several important trends. "Overall, the type of extraordinary and blatant unfairness that sparked the Judicial Hellholes project and characterized the report over the past few years has decreased across- the-board," Schwartz said. "This improvement is a shared result of shining the spotlight on litigation abuse and the wise corrections by both the judicial and legislative branches of state governments. "Thanks to actions by some local judges and rulings by the Illinois Supreme Court," continued Schwartz, "perhaps the most encouraging improvement can be found in perennial Hellhole Madison County, Illinois." "But make no mistake, the danger of regression persists and is very real," Schwartz cautioned. "New leadership at the organization formerly known as the Association of Trial Lawyers of America has pledged to undertake a massive political and public relations campaign. We're already seeing a post-election effort to rollback reasonable reforms and undermine the fairness and predictability of (MORE) Judicial Hellholes Report, Dec. 13, 2006, Page 2 our civil justice system. Expect personal injury lawyers to fight for expansions of liability with so- called 'consumer protection' lawsuits and public nuisance actions, among other troubling tactics." Joyce and Schwartz went on to discuss in detail the report's rationale for citing the various jurisdictions as it does.
