yeah so i just got an arc welder and ive been wanten to make some freak bikes for a wile. im just gettin started and i just wanted to hear some advice. so if i can get some its much appreciiated.
start cuttin and welding.Well you might want in idea or two first.
Start with a basic tallbike.
"the bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began...there was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of a bus to never-ever land."
Something useful to start with could be a trailer.
I made a bench out of a snowboards and angle iron for my first welding project. I decided that I wanted to be stationary and probably drunk when one of those first welds decided to break. So far it's held up just fine. I like the idea of a trailer too and there's no shortage of things you can do with a welder so just go nuts.
i figured i was gonna start with just a simple tallbike. it seems like one of the easyest things to get started with. im gettin some bike frames today and should hopefully have somethin soon. thanks for the posts.
ah problems. well i got two good frames for now. but ive never quite found out about the chain i need for a tallbike. if anyone can tell me how long and where i can get one that would be appreciated
If you have a traditional dry rod arc welder (shielded metal Arc welder), here's some things to remember:
Finding the right voltage setting is PARAMOUNT! If your arc is too hot, you'll blow right through the walls of the tubes like nothing. Too little voltage and your welds end up breaking. get yourself a junk steel frame and practice laying down strong, consistent beads down the top-tube etc. Your goal should be consistency and weld penetration without punching through the tube.
A tall bike is probably not the best place to start if you are new to building freak bikes. Instead, try taking some old steel forks, cut the 'legs' off of one and slip them onto the other fork, making one long fork. Try your hand at welding the seems without over-tempering or warping the steel. Once you've got that down, try extending a bmx-style fork with steel pipes. Do lots of small welds before you tackle a large project, it will save you a lot of frustration.
Also, ask the guys at a welding supply store which rods are best for your project. I used 6013 rods but 6011 (more common) will work with some practice.
As for the chain question:
Get a chain tool, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_tool), put two (or more) chains together, and fine-tune the length.

Tuesday, March 31, 2015 - 1:12pm
You already know Annual Convention will bring together more than 1,000 arts professionals with 150 speakers and 45 sessions, but there's a whole lot more to look forward to this year. Here's a list of top ten things to see and do while in Chicago at the 2015 Annual Convention!
1. Explore approximately 300,000 works of art at theArt Institute of Chicago. Housed in eight buildings, totaling nearly one million square feet of space, The Art Institute's exhibits, galleries, lectures, and performances are touted as some of the best in the world.
2. Be inspired by our lineup of keynote speakers: Theaster Gates, founder and creator of Rebuild Foundation and the Dorchester Projects; Tom Finkelpearl, Commissioner of New York City's Department of Cultural Affairs; and Jane Chu, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.
3. Every visitor to Chicago must see the Millennium and Maggie Daley Parks, which feature Cloudgate, Jaume Plensa, Jay Priztker Pavillion, and Lurie Gardens.
4. Wind down and let loose with your colleagues at the Opening Reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art!
5. Experience the Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's Summer Series, at the Harris Theatre for Music and Dance, devoted to the work of artist and resident choreographer, Alejandro Cerrudo.

7. Immerse yourself in the cultural history of Chicago with a trip to the National Museum of Mexican Art and the DuSable Museum of African American History.
8. While the Annual Convention will be the BEST event in town, it won't be the only one. We'll be sharing the city with a number of other artist groups including the Chicago Blues Festival, Wells Street Art Festival, and the Spring Awakening Music Festival.
9. Think outside of the (room service) box! Get out and enjoy Chicago's more notable dining options—Gibson's Bar & Steakhouse, Shaw's Crab House, and The Gage—or veer off the beaten path and try a hot dog from Portillo's or ribs from Carson's.
10. See Chicago from a whole new perspective with a bird's eye view from the Willis Tower Sky Deck or on a boat cruise on the Chicago River!

UE Lleida
|Full name
|Unió Esportiva Lleida
|Els Blaus (The Blues)
Els de la Terra Ferma (Firmlanders)
(as Lérida Balompié-AEM)
(as Unión Deportiva Lérida)
|Camp d´Esports, Lleida,
Catalonia, Spain
Unió Esportiva Lleida was a Spanish football team based in Lleida, in the autonomous community of Catalonia. Originally founded as Lérida Balompié-AEM on 30 October 1939, it became Unión Deportiva Lérida in 1947, after a merger with CD Leridano. Dissolved in 2011, it held home matches at Camp d´Esports, with a 13,500-seat capacity. The soul of the club was reformed as Lleida Esportiu.
Lleida adopted the Catalan version of its name in 1978. The club has spent most of its history in the lower divisions. However, in the early 1950s and early 1990s, the club won promotion to La Liga.
During the 1990s the club was managed by Mané, Juande Ramos and Víctor Muñoz. All three subsequently became successful managers with other clubs. Since 1987 the club has organised its own summer trophy, the Ciutat de Lleida Trophy.

Early Lleida football clubs[edit]
Football was first introduced to Lleida in 1910 by Manuel Azoz, a Barcelona business man. Among the earliest clubs in the city were Montserrat, founded in 1913 by Marist Brothers, and FC Lleida founded in 1914. Both played their early games in the district of Pla d'en Gardeny. In 1915, the Associació Cultural Lleidatana was founded by Catalan nationalists.
By 1917 two other clubs, Club Colonial and Athlètic Metalúrgic, began playing at the Camp de Mart. In 1918 FC Joventut was formed by left-wing Catalan republicans and during the 1920s they emerged as the city's strongest side.
In 1919, Lleida became the first club to use the Camp d´Esports, but this team was dissolved in 1927. Other clubs of the 1920s included AE Lleida Calaveres, Lleida Sport Club and AEM Lleida, all of which disappeared during the 1930s.
Lérida Balompié and CD Leridano[edit]
After the Spanish Civil War, former members of AE Lleida Calaveres, Lleida Sport Club and AEM Lleida formed Lérida Balompié-AEM. After playing in regional leagues for four seasons they made their debut in the fourth division in 1943. The following year, the club split into two separate clubs, Lérida Balompié and AEM.
Meanwhile, in 1941 Spanish nationalists formed CD Leridano, and a local rivalry developed between that club and Lérida Balompié. On March 9, 1947, these two sides merged to become Unión Deportiva Lérida. The new team retained both the blue and white colours and club shield of Lérida Balompié, the first president of the new club being Eduard Estadella.
First golden era[edit]
UD Lérida enjoyed a golden age in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when they progressed from the third to the first division in just three seasons. In 1949, they won the third-tier and, the following season, 1949–50, they made their debut in Segunda División.
The season saw the club achieve their biggest league in history, 9–2 win against CD Lugo, as it also finished runner-up in the league, which meant promotion to the topflight for the first time ever. However, during its debut season, it was heavily defeated on several occasions: 9–0 to CD Málaga, 10–1 to Deportivo de La Coruña and 10–0 to Athletic Bilbao, being ultimately relegated back. Lleida's first eleven in the first division was: Rivero, Rigau, Telechea, Carrillo, Esquerda, Roca, Gausí, Pellicer, Ramón, Bidegain and Fustero.
The Mané era[edit]
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lleida enjoyed a second solid moment, under coach Mané. He joined the club in 1988 and took it from Segunda División B to La Liga.
1993–94 was the second topflight experience for the club; in spite of a 1–0 win over the FC Barcelona Dream Team at the Camp Nou, and another against Real Madrid, 2–1 at home, Lleida only won seven times altogether and was relegated once again.
The 1994–95 season saw the club finish third in the second division, with a subsequent promotion play-off defeat against Sporting de Gijón. In 2001, the team returned to level three and, in 2004–05 and the following campaign, played again in the second division. From 1996 and during an entire decade (with some interruptions), legendary player Miguel Ángel Rubio served as its manager.
On 10 May 2011, Lleida was placed in a liquidation auction due to a €28.000.000 debt.[1] On 12 July, the team's seat was acquired by local entrepreneur Sisco Pujol,[2] with the new club being named Lleida Esportiu.

by Rachel Hartman
Here's the thing about fantasy: It is so dominated by JRR Tolkien (who, in turn, was heavily influenced by European mythology--English, Norse, and Celtic, most notably) that you can sometimes forget that there's space for anything else. Dwarves and orcs and elves and men. Dragons and unicorns. There may be minor variations (i.e., Robert Jordan and his trollocs), but for the most part, no matter who writes the fantasy, a dragon is a dragon is a dragon.
Unless you're Rachel Hartman.
When is a dragon not a dragon?
When he folds himself up into the shape of a human, and lives in a human city.
Honestly, that should be enough to make you read the book, I think. Dragons that attempt (and mostly fail, unless they've been doing it for a very long time) to pass as humans. But Hartman's prose is also both beautiful and subtle, descriptive and poetic without being overly flowery. Wanting to figure out Seraphina's world and how it works will pull you in, but the plot keeps you going until the end. This is such a unique and creative novel, even if you don't like fantasy (perhaps especially if you don't like fantasy because it all sounds like JRR Tolkien to you), it's worth trying this book. The biggest problem with this book is that the sequel (of course there's a sequel, it's a fantasy novel, after all) doesn't come out until 2015.
It got me thinking, too, without ever being didactic about its themes. It makes you think about trust, between individuals and between cultures. About xenopobia. About how we accommodate (or fail to accommodate) people in our society who are different, and about how hard we try (or don't try at all) to communicate with people that we don't understand. And about what we lose, as a society, as humanity, when we fall into the traps of distrust and xenophobia and the rejection of difference.
There were times when the plot felt a little too plotted; when characters have revelations or realize things just at exactly the right moment. Hartman throws a lot of balls into the air and doesn't always do full justice to all of them, and the cast of characters is large and (for me) somewhat confusing (there is a glossary in the back, which I didn't realize was there until I finished the book, but there you go). But that's small potatoes. This is Hartman's debut novel. Which is completely insane to me. I hope she writes more--not just finishes out the story of Seraphina, but takes us to other worlds too. I'd love to see through her eyes more.

the King size pillows are exactly what they say they are I don't have to keep trying to find a cool spot any longer , they are fairly firm and very comfortable , they don't go flat but you can adjust them to your personal positioning and I personally sleep better , great deal on a excellent pillow, THANKS WAL-MART FOR THE DEAL ON SERTA!!
I really like these pillows. I have always slept hot and my pillows were a constant battle to find a cool place. I think I have tried every brand pillow out there and have only found one even close to the comfort of these and that was the My Pillow. I think it is a good pillow and also doesn't get real hot but these Serta have them beat and the difference in price is astronomical. I can sleep on these Serta and never have to even turn them. I don't have to fluff them and shape them to be comfortable. It offers good support and though it doesn't feel really, really cool it's slightly cool and it doesn't heat up after you lay on it and I find it stays that way all night. It actually feels like it draws the heat away from your head. I'm very satisfied and think these are very good pillows and a great value too. I was very surprised to get such a great pillow for such a small price.
Best pillows I've ever had. Not sure what people expect in these reviews. It is not an air conditioned pillow...They made me afraid, but the good reviews gave me hope. I've had them for a couple of months. Still perfect.
The best part... I like to bunch the blankets under my chin. Even in the summer, I run a cold air conditioner... I had so much trouble with waking up with my sheets wet. But I can't sleep any other way. After getting these pillows...no more sweat...at all. I don't know how they work, I don't care how they work. But they do.
Warning: You may only get one. But don't fret. just message walmart on here and they will send you another one.
I think the issue is that most things that come in a set, come packaged together. These don't. I think people who pack them for shipping. Just don't realize it. I've seen a lot of reviews on here with the same issue. So, be patient if it happens. These pillows are worth it.
Claiming this pillow has a cooling effect is a bit much as it still gets warm from your body heat but not hot like allot of other similar stuffed pillows. It does not retain heat as long as others & I suppose that's why Serta came up with the sales pitch "CoolGel". In my opinion it is not Cool like with a real Gel Pillow but real gel pillows are heavy & cumbersome plus a tad spendy. I would say it gets mildly warm but cools quickly when you re-position & all together is far cooler than other fiber fill pillows I have owned. The man of the house is big & tall & he says the king size pillow is almost like a full body pillow & he agrees with me that its fat, fluffy, very comfortable & kinda luke warm but not cool. I will be getting another for a full body pillow as for my 4'11" body the king size is huge & body pillows are very spendy so I see it as a win win, to bad its not as cool cool as claimed, oh well we still love it. You should get one & if you don't like it you can take it to any walmart within 90 days for refund or exchange, this is the main reason we put up with them.
I've had two of these pillows for a couple of weeks now and I'm very happy with the purchase. I have bought a number of pillows in the past couple of years in hopes of finding something comfortable. I am a side sleeper and I am so happy I bought these pillows as they are comfortable, fluffy and they hold their shape. These pillows are much more comfortable then many pillows that are a lot more expensive. I don't think you can go wrong by ordering these pillows.
I purchased two of these from the store and we love them. However, I could never find anymore so I was glad to see I could order them from Walmart.com for our motorhome. I hate buying new pillows and these are so comfortable. The coolness isn't real noticeable, however, the comfort makes up for it.
Purchased for my husband who likes a lofty firm cool pillow. These fit the bill perfectly! A little too "lofty" for me, but my husband loves them.
Bought two of these last week in the store and they are wonderful. They are soft but don't go flat. My boyfriend and I both stay hot at night and these pillows stay cool. We Love them.
love these pillows. they bounce right back after sleep. being winter i don't know about the cool part, but they feel like expensive goose down. def recommend. :-)
this pillow is very comfortable to rest your head on, the price was right and I love the coolness of the pillow. In the past I had 6 pillows, now I am very comfortable with just the one. Truly would recommend this pillow set.
I seriously could not wait to get these! I absolutely love them and I've gotten the best nights sleep with these! So comfortable! I don't recommend them for people who need very firm pillows.
I would not recommend this pillow at all. After 2 months my pillows ( queen size ) are flat and I am constantly turning my pillow through out the night cause NOT cool as said. I had read reviews before I purchased so I decided to buy but I didn't have the same satisfied experience as those in the review. If you have a bad neck and/or spine as I do I "STRONGLY" recommend "DO NOT BUY"...
It is a very thick pillow. Takes a little bit to get used to as I'm not used to one that is quite so fluffy, but I'm really liking it so far!
Do not believe for one second that these pillows have any cooling effect that is better than an average pillow. I spend as much time doing the usual "pillow flip" all night long as I have done with ordinary pillows. They are however comfortable and fluffy. I cannot comment on their longevity as I have only used them for a couple of weeks. If you are looking for a pillow with a cooling effect - these are NOT it.
I have purchased these before in queen and standard and they are great pillows. Could not find them in my local store so I purchased a different brand and was not satisified so I returned them and ordered online. Everyone should give them a try !!!! I love them !!!!
This is by far the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on; what a great value!
First, I don't know how they get away with calling them "coolgel" pillows. As far as I can tell, there is no gel in them whatsoever. Second, after a few nights of use, the filler material bunched up in some areas and went flat in others.
Fluffy without being overly fluffy. Squishy without squishing down to nothing. Comfortable with good support without being hard. I plan on buying more for my grandkids.
Good pillows if you have night sweats
I bought King size. These pillows do go back to original shape immediately, but they are extremely soft. I have to almost fold them in half to get them to have any height when laying on them. I bought them because they were suppose to be cool. They are not. I even bought special set of high thread count pillowcases just for these pillows. I end up grabbing my old pillows after a couple of hours. If you like soft pillows, you might like them. The price is ok. But since they are not cool or firm at all, I would not recommend them to a friend.

Comments Thread For: Rigo-Lomachenko Bout Presents Civilized Alternative
By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Connoisseurs of subtlety, unite.
While a majority of fans, broadcasters and experts seem to wet their collective pants at the idea of a slugfest and spend sleepless nights pining for a redux of Arturo Gatti vs. Micky Ward I, II or III, its not as if the rest of the boxing world has nothing to live for beyond mindless rock em, sock em robots.
Though its true that the over-the-top brutality of James Kirkland vs. Glen Tapia transforms Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman into shrilling tweens at a One Direction show, its no less true that the guys at the top of most top-performer listsFloyd Mayweather Jr., Andre Ward and Timothy Bradleywould sooner be masterful than maniacal when defending their pound-for-pound turfs.

I want Lomachenko to be successful.... This would be the stupidest thing they could do next year, but great for Rigo maybe wont advance his career all that much beating a guy with less than 5 fights but it will give him the status and bragging rights of being the better boxer which impact their amateur careers legacy incidentally. But all that being said LOMACHENKO himself said in the post fight interview he was no fking way ready for Rigondeaux so he is smart if anything you guys want him to crash before he ever takes off.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Fighting each other this early is not in the best interest of either fighter.
For Loma, it would be suicide. Taking on a seasoned, world class veteran in your second fight is insane enough. Challenging a P4P player and one of the best technicians in the world in your 3rd fight?! If Loma gets past Salido (hardly a given, though I hope he will), he should settle the eff down and fight some fringe world class/second rate opponents before he takes on the true elite.
And as things stand now, Rigo has very little to gain from this fight. Loma has the potential to become a very lucrative, high profile opponent for him down the line, but if the fight gets made this early, it will be at best a cult favorite.
I say let Loma ease into the pro ranks, get some fame and build a bit of a pro resume before they fight.

Rigo has to take every fight they offer to him, because simply no one wants to fight him. Everybody is afraid and the perfect excuse is his supposedly boring style. Santa Cruz, Donaire everybody has scare and the promoters don't want to loose their cash cows. Also for him will be hard to make this good show, because soon after the oponents feel his power began the defense and protection mode. Nonito really didn't engaged, and Adbeko less. I love to see Rigo, but he is too good for the boxers around him and also the promoters didn't help him. Is a shame of mediocrity in this sport, where all the untalented fighters are making him a boycott just because he is too good

You could be a genius but really boring. No one stays around to see artists paint, do you? You applaud the finished product. He won't make money that's for sure.

Are the Kurt Cobain/Doc Martens Ads Offensive?
By now you have probably either seen or heard about these Dr Martens advertisements featuring Kurt Cobain and other deceased musicians sporting some Doc Martens boots while floating in heaven. The campaign apparently has something to do with the boots being "made to last," and the ad agency that made them (Saatchi & Saatchi) stood by the images, calling them "edgy." Meanwhile, the Dr Martens company is denying they had anything to do with the ads being run and has actually fired Saatchi as a result of their poor judgment. It's pretty obvious Cobain would have never agreed to this so what do you think? Are these ads offensive?

Electronic Newsletter/Bulletin Scoring
Local Society Newsletter/Bulletins Scale of Points
- 30 points — Rose horticulture information — Use of original, locally authored articles is weighted most heavily in this category. Reprinting articles from other authors is permitted, but the articles should be relative to the locale of the rose society; i.e., rose growing in Maine requires different techniques than in California. Reprints should be useful information for readers, not space fillers. Credit should be given to the author and source of any reprinted articles.
- 10 points — Other rose-related information — Articles on rose arranging, history, photography, art, rose botany, recipes, drying of roses, exhibiting techniques and reports by members at district or national conventions are the types of subjects to be considered.
- 20 points — Local society information and promotion — Meeting minutes, board actions, new members, membership drives, rose shows, local Roses in Review results, community efforts and pruning parties at public gardens are the type considered for these points.
- 15 points — Upcoming program information — Include times and dates for upcoming meetings, speaker bios, and rose shows of nearby societies.
- 10 points — ARS and District information — Can include information on items available from ARS, announcements of conventions, district seminars, ARS membership information, Christmas in Roseland information.
- 15 points — Overall Appearance and Workmanship — Neat and orderly design of publication for easy reading, straightforward navigation, effective use of color, optimized web graphics, interactive functioning web links, e-mail addresses, etc. The newsletter/bulletin should be devoid of typos and misspellings.
District Newsletter/Bulletins Scale of Points
- 30 points — District Information and Promotion — Announcement of meetings, seminars, reports of district meetings, committee assignments and district award winners.
- 20 points — ARS Promotion and Information — News about national conventions, membership drives and special programs such as Home Depot seminars.
- 20 points — Rose horticulture information — Articles by the district's top growers on planting, growing, fertilizing, etc.
- 10 points — Other rose-related information — Exhibiting techniques, biographies of notable members of the district and promoting participation in Rose in Review are examples of rose-related information.
- 10 points — News/information from Local Rose Societies — Successful programs by local societies, membership drives, programs to retain members. Complete listings of local society rose show results require a large amount of space and should be held to a minimum. Such reports are more appropriate when limited to a listing of winners of top awards.
- 10 points — Overall Appearance and Workmanship — Neat and orderly design of publication for easy reading. The newsletter/bulletin should be devoid of typos and misspellings.

The neat thing about this site was that IT does not LOOK at the meta data....it supposedly looks at the thumbprint of the image only....
So even if the Meta Data is changed the image should still be found... The video on the "about page" summed it up.
I guess it's pretty new as it's still in the beta stage. Not sure how you might prove your image was stolen not based on the Metadata though..

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Norman seeks recount in court race
Appearing before the city Election Commission, Jeffrey Norman complained that poll workers treated votes "so carelessly, so negligently" and did not appear to know how to accurately tally his totals. He complained that many of his votes may have gone uncounted.
Norman did not appear on the ballot because he failed to file a required ethics form with the state on time. Once he was left off the ballot, he launched a write-in campaign. City election officials said the flier Norman used to tell voters how to use a "Norman" sticker on the ballot caused much of last week's confusion.
When the stickers were placed over the arrows used to tabulate votes, the machines rejected the ballot. Thus, some had to redo their ballot. In any case, poll workers were instructed to review all ballots by hand to assure each Norman vote was counted and recorded on a separate sheet.
Norman did pick up 59 votes Monday, based on a ward-by-ward review of summary sheets, giving him 3,023 votes.
That left him far behind the top two finishers, Jennifer Havas and Phil Chavez, who are to face off April 3 in the contest for the open seat. Havas had 4,460, or 23% of the total. Chavez had 4,012 votes, or 21%.
The cost of the recount will depend on how long it lasts. It will cost Norman about $3,000 for every eight-hour day involved. The recount is expected to begin this week, perhaps as early as Tuesday.

Stroeget is Copenhagen's main pedestrian shopping street. Here you will find most of the major international retail names - and prices similar to London and New York. But do try to visit the small neighbourhood shops, many of them lively, funky and unique.
Strøget is the main shopping street. There are no cars but it could do with some traffic lights! Don't go if your in a hurry, especially on the weekend. Take your time, pick up something to eat from a street vendor and check out the street performers. There are some very talented musicians playing in Strøget every weekend. Don't be shy, sing along and give them a few krone before you walk away.
What to buy: What to Buy? What to Buy?
Don't be fooled, the little shops can sometimes be more expensive than the chain stores and department stores. You really do pay for quality in Copenhagen.
Hunt around because theres always a store with a sale!

Transfers (as stated in itinerary) Buenos Aires excursion Welcome meal Farewell meal with Tango evening Tour daybook Road atlas and map of Argentina Prices are per person based on two adults sharing a standard-size motorhome (larger vehicles also available – please ask for a quote). What's not included: Personal insurance – please ask for a quote Motorhome fuel or refills of propane gas Meals and drinks (unless stated) Excursions or entrance fees (other than those stated) Road tolls Personal expenditure, tips etc Park entry fees (approx £40) Any single supplements, extra adult or child supplements – available on request. A FEW THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: Do not expect 4-star campsites with luxury showers – some of the campsites do not always have hot running water. Do not go on this trip if you usually stay in five star hotels – you will be staying at some very basic campsites. It is worth noting at this point that the general level of maintenance is poor compared to standards in the UK. You will also need to leave behind British notions of health and safety and adapt an altogether more South American attitude. We believe that the motorhomes used on this tour are the best rental vehicles available in Argentina. However, once again, do not expect a top of the range deluxe motorhome. You will be driving on a mixture of roads from tarmaced dual carriageways to dust tracks – this truly is a South American adventure not a luxury tour. The stunning scenery, spectacular sights and welcoming people will more than make up for any lack of 4-star facilities. PAYMENTS In order to minimise the fluctuating inflation in Argentina, we require different payment terms to our normal conditions. To secure your place on this tour we will require a larger deposit and earlier staged payments. Upgrades and extras: If you require more information about the different sizes of motorhomes available for this tour, please also call our Travel Specialists. Enquiring about Worldwide Holidays Complete our Enquiry Form on our new website and a member of the Worldwide Team will contact you. Alternatively, call our Travel Specialists on 024 7647 5340.

OK, we have a monitoring tool which assists with reputation management, so I definitely love the topic. And I'm sharing it through my own networks because you not only give suggestions for using elbow grease and the tools already available to help find the conversations...but also how to go about prepping a strategy to fix the situation.
#3 must be painful.
The Hecklers' Hangout crew was recently discussing the trolls who gleefully lie in weight to take down brands for missteps...or just perceived sleights. Blows my mind that our society has come to that point.

Our firm is dedicated to helping financially distressed consumers find the right financial solution. We offer bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy legal debt solutions and have changed thousands of lives over the last 15 years.
Our law firm was started in July of 1994 by Bradley P. Koffel and me. We were law school classmates. Mr. Koffel's practice focuses on criminal law, while my practice is dedicated to helping individuals who are experiencing financial difficulty. The law firm is now regarded as one of the finest boutique law firms in the State of Ohio. There are a total of eight attorneys in the firm, three work for Mr. Koffel and three work for me.
We represented a family with a home that was not worth as much as their 1st mortgage balance and they had fallen behind on their payments. They have a home equity line of credit (2nd mortgage) which had become increasingly more difficult to pay on time. One of their vehicles was paid off, but they fell behind on payments for the. Due to a job loss, credit card debt had grown to $25,000. This family was able to use their future wages to fund a court protect repayment plan under Chapter 13. The Chapter 13 plan will allow them to keep their home and cars, modify their car loan to a new payment, reclassify their 2nd mortgage (i.e. remove it from their deed and pay it as an unsecured creditor) and pay back only a percentage of what is owed to their unsecured creditors (credit cards and balance of what was a 2nd mortgage).We have obtained similar results for hundreds of individuals and families.

Yes, my brother, Clark Jump, serves as our Business and IT Manager.
I felt there were too few qualified attorneys helping people in financial trouble.
I occasionally see individuals and families in bankruptcy court who are representing themselves. Each time, I feel sorry for them. By not hiring an attorney, they have made it so much more difficult to resolve their situation than is necessary. I don't know why anyone would represent themselves.
I am not willing to review client-prepared documents. If a client retains us, we will prepare all of their documents for them.
I am absolutely unwilling to offer this type of service. You can't be half-pregnant; you either represent someone or you don't.
I started my law firm right out of law school. I worked in law school at the City Attorney's Office, Civil Division and served as an intern clerk to the Honorable A. William Sweeney of Supreme Court of Ohio.
I grew up overseas and studied abroad in college. I also served as an intern/clerk for an Ohio Supreme Court Judge while in Law School. I have interacted with individuals and families from all walks of life and this has helped me relate to people's challenges and help solve their problems.
My clients constantly tell me that they feel better after talking to me. I think my style is to listen and frame legal solutions in terms that clients can easily understand.Personal interests:
Family, golf in the summer and skiing in the winter. I love to travel with family.
