PBS KIDS Writers Contest Rules 2015
MANY WILL ENTER, FEW WILL WIN. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. The PBS KIDS Writers Contest is produced by PBS (the "Contest" or "Promotion") and based on the Reading Rainbow® Young Writers and Illustrators Contest, a concept developed by WNED. The Contest begins on or about January 1, 2015 and ends with the announcement of national winners on or about July 15, 2015. This Contest consists of two (2) rounds of judging: (1) the local judging, and (2) the national judging. To enter, you must first be judged by local station or Independent Pool judging for a chance to move on to the national judging. To enter the Contest for local judging, you may submit your Entry to either (1) your participating local PBS station; or (2) if you don't have a participating local PBS station, you may enter the Independent Pool by submitting your entry to: WNED PBS KIDS Writers Contest/Independent Entry, 140 Lower Terrace, Buffalo, NY 14202. All entries to the Independent Pool must be postmarked by March 20, 2015 and received by March 30, 2015 to be eligible. Contact your local participating PBS station for other exact local judging deadlines. The grand prize winner for each grade in each local judging round will automatically be submitted for national judging by the local station. PLEASE NOTE: The only way to be eligible for the national judging round is to be deemed a grand prize winner in one of the Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade categories in the local station or Independent Pool judging round of this Contest. These Contest rules are subject to modification by PBS & WNED at their discretion. This Contest is void where prohibited.

Don't You Want to Thank Someone? (2012)
Happy Thanksgiving, Rabbit Roomers.
I'm writing this from Shiloh, my parents' 150-year-old Florida Cracker house, where we Petersons plan to feast like vikings in celebration of God's goodness. My favorite song on the new record is called "Don't You Want to Thank Someone", as appropriate a Thanksgiving tune as I've ever written, so I thought I'd give away a few downloads.
This first is of the acoustic demo (from The Lost Boy Demos, which is only available in the 2 disc deluxe edition). The second is a fairly embarrassing (to me, at least) soundboard bootleg of the song from one of the shows on the fall tour with Ben Shive and CALEB. I hope you like it in spite of my lumpy-throated singing toward the end. That song just got to me every night.

Don't You Want to Thank Someone
Don't You Want to Thank Someone
I'm grateful for so much, but somewhere near the top of that list is YOU. Thanks for supporting me and mine this year. I leave you with a roundup of Thanksgiving-ish thoughts from some of our favorite writers. If you have more, post away. Oh, and for the last few years I've posted a poem called "Thanksgiving: A Confession and a Plea to the Almighty", which I've heard has been read aloud at family gatherings; strange but true. Here's a link to the old post, should you be interested. Now let the authorly wisdom commence.
Thanksgiving: A Confession and a Plea to the Almighty
Happy Thanksgiving, Rabbit Roomers. I posted this poem last year and thought I'd dust it off again this week. Reading it just now for the first time since last November, I can't decide if I like it more or less than I did when I wrote it. I remember that I was thinking of a poem by Berryman that I once heard Garrison Keillor read (I can't remember which), but I gave up on all that by the tenth line and let the thing go wherever it wanted. Whether or not you enjoy the poem, I pray your time with family and/or friends is peaceful and that you remember in all your feasting that it's but a shadow of what is to come.
O God, Magnificent Confounder,
Boundless in mercy and power,
Be near me in my apathy.
Be near me, Savage Dreamer,
Bright Igniter of Exploding Suns,
But not too near. I'd like to live,
By your grace, just long enough
To taste another perfect steak.
And to see my children marry,
And, perhaps, to pen a memoir.
Great redeemer of my lechery,
Bright Dawn of Blessed Hope,
Lay waste to every prideful thing,
Each black infraction of your law.
O Swirling Storm of Holy Anger,
Be patient with me. I'm certain
I will make a second gluttonous
Trip to the festal spread of food.
And I might as well admit, O King
Omniscient, I plan to make a third.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Rabbit Room (2014)
I'm writing from a porch swing at Shiloh, watching my brother Pete as he sifts through several boxes of his old keepsakes. Every now and then he calls his wife over to look at some ridiculous or awesome piece of his past. (Ridiculous = his unopened Star Wars action figures; awesome = an original reel of the Return of the Jedi trailer.) The turkey's in the oven, the Macy's Day parade is on, and the sheep are bleating in the pasture behind me. There's some terrible stuff happening in the world right now–and some terrible stuff in your lives, I'm sure–but today is a day to direct our attention instead to all the good and beautiful things that undergird the broken parts, like an underpainting that refuses to be marred even as the artist touches and retouches the imperfections.
We wanted to share a few items for your perusal in case you check in before or after your post-feast nap.
Here's a brand new live performance of "Don't You Want to Thank Someone," which we recorded at North Wind Manor. It features my pals Nate Dugger on keys, James Gregory on upright bass, and my son Asher on percussion.
Here's a short, thoughtful piece by Zach Franzen about instilling a sense of gratitude in our children.
This is a Thanksgiving poem I wrote a few years back, which some folks have read aloud at their gatherings. It's weird, but whatever.
And if you want something a thousand times more beautiful, here's a benediction by Robert Farrar Capon (which you Hutchmooters will remember Pete reading before the final meal).
And finally, we present a fun song from our friends at the Tokens Show (a live radio show in the spirit of A Prairie Home Companion), called "Thank You, Thanksgiving!"
The Burning Edge of Dawn, Part One – Live via Stageit
Greetings, folks!
It's been too long since I've done one of these, but hey, it's fall. And fall means touring. And touring means rehearsal. And what more enjoyable excuse is there to rehearse than doing fun little living room shows via the interwebs?
So once a week, starting tonight and leading up to the 10/9/15 release of my new album, I'm going to do one of these shows here at the Warren. (I haven't told Jamie yet, but I don't think she'll mind.) Hopefully I'll wrangle some friends into the deal, and I'm certain that there are some Peterson younglings running around here who would love to play along.
In the meantime, you can head over to www.RabbitRoom.com or iTunes and preorder THE BURNING EDGE OF DAWN, and when you do you get three early downloads to (hopefully) pique your itch to hear the whole record in October.
Usually this is a $5 per ticket affair (there's that mortgage payment that comes around every…single…MONTH), but in celebration of the new songs, and since this is a weekly gig, it's a pay-what-you-can arrangement (though StageIt requires a minimum of 5 notes, or 50 cents). I'm hoping some of you guys will come back each week.
Thanks for hanging out, folks! Can't wait for you to hear the new songs.
England: Day Eight
Pappy and I drove south from Oxford to the Isle of Wight, but not before heading to the Kilns to see C. S. Lewis's house and then the short drive to Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry to see his grave. Graves are funny. Let me qualify that. Death is most certainly not funny, and neither are graves, really, though some of the epitaphs at Disney's Haunted Mansion are. What I mean is that, unless you were close to the person buried, there isn't much to do other than stand there awkwardly for a few minutes and then move on. That happened years ago when Ben Shive, Laura Story, and a few others of us visited Rich Mullins's grave in Indiana. It was meaningful, truly, but only for about 90 seconds. As I recall, we reenacted the Spinal Tap scene at Elvis's grave, only we sang "Awesome God" with bad harmony instead of "Heartbreak Hotel." Call me disrespectful, but I think Rich would have liked it.
Why I Can't Stop Listening to David Gray
I bet you've heard the song "Babylon" by David Gray. It's the kind of song that immediately draws you in, and the first time you hear it you know it'll be around for a long time. "Let go of your heart, let go of your head, and feel it now," he sings in the chorus, followed by the word "Babylon," which fits so perfectly in the groove and the melody that it's hard to imagine anything else in its place. What a strange word to throw into a song about a broken relationship, right? But wait. Let's put on our school caps and take a quick look at what's unfolding in the lyric.

[Day Five: Part Two]
Eric slept soundly that night in Hay-on-Wye, little Z's floating up from his beard and hovering near the ceiling for a few moments before gliding down to rest on the many old books piled around him. I slipped out of my bed, army crawled across the floor and, with a little fan of my fingers, tried to snatch his copy of The Great Divorce, Indiana Jones-style. Alas, Eric had gone to sleep with the book tucked under his arm, and every time I gave it a little tug he snorted and a fresh batch of Z's poofed out of his mumbling mouth.
None of the above is true, but you get the picture.
England: Day Five (Interlude)
[Day One]

[Day Four]
"I just don't get this thing you have for old books," said lots of people, always.
It's okay. Of all my strange affections, this is possibly the one about which I feel the least embarrassment. I've always been bashful about my tendency to read books with dragons, or my weird fascination with honeybees, or basically everything in thrift stores, but I am and will remain an unapologetic bibliophile. But I get it. I get why you think I'm crazy. How in the world, you ask, will I have time to read all those books, and why in the world would I let them take over my house–especially when you can store all that information on a Kindle or a Nook or an iPad? What could possibly be enjoyable about rummaging around in a dusty bookshop for hours?
Let me explain, in bullet-point fashion for the sake of brevity.
England: Day Three
We drove east from central London (sometimes keeping to the appropriate side of the road) to a place called Dagenham. I overheard someone explain the pronunciation: "It's DAG-en-HAM, yes, but to sound local you just mash it all together so it sounds like 'Dagnum.'"
We stayed with the Harts, a family we met on the Petersons' European adventure almost two years ago. In July of 2013 they picked up Jamie and the kids and me from Heathrow and drove us to their home in Dagenham, charming us with their accents the whole way. Tom grew up on a farm in England and Rachel is from the highlands of Scotland, and now they live in the manse of a little church in a little neighborhood called Osborne Square. In a delightful case of Englishness, their proper address has no house number—it's just "The Manse, Osborne Square." Tom, whom I don't think I've ever seen without a smile on his face, cracked up me and my boys right away when he asked, "So what's the deal with July 4th, anyway? What are you guys celebrating?" I love that I had to explain Independence Day to the first Brit I met. Evidently, it's a bit of history they've chosen to ignore, for understandable reasons.
England: Day One
NASHVILLE to LONDON
I'll start with a confession: I'm an ancestry junkie. Once, at about eleven o'clock at night, Jamie asked if I was coming to bed. I told her I was almost ready, I just had to check a few more things on Ancestry.com, and then I was turning in. When I looked up I wondered what that strange light on the horizon might be and I realized it was the sun coming up. I came to bed just as Jamie woke and we both pitied my weakness for treasure hunting. One of my Christmas presents (to myself) this year was one of those DNA tests where you spit in a vial and mail it off to what I presume is a laboratory full of people in white lab coats worn primarily because they deal with peoples' spit from all over the country. They do some scientific voodoo and email you a few weeks later with a readout that tells you exactly what you're made of.
My main reason for the $80 splurge was that so many people (including Asians) have asked me if I have Asian ancestry I wanted to know if, indeed, one of my great-grandparents from Sweden had married someone from the Far East.
The Local Show, Season Two
Last year I had coffee with a good friend by the name of Jeff Taylor. Jeff is one of the busiest and best players in Nashville, and one of the coolest things he's a part of is a band called the Time Jumpers. Every Monday night at a club called 3rd and Lindsley he joins about ten other of the most brain melting musicians in town (including Ranger Doug from Riders in the Sky and some guy named Vince Gill) and plays some of the most brain melting songs Texas ever exported. It's no exaggeration to say that the Time Jumpers are a Nashville treasure, and if you don't try and see a show at least once, you'll spend your elder days berating yourself for choosing Netflix over that increasingly rare and wonderful thing called Live Music played by those rare and wonderful things called Real Musicians.
Jeff wanted to meet me for coffee because he had an idea.
A Poem for Jamie
This is a poem I wrote for my sweet wife a few years ago. It was published in the third volume of The Molehill and I post it here because it's February, when people talk about love and stuff.
You are beautiful in ways
You cannot see. Beautiful
In light and motion and grace,
In patience, in the little
Smile that is your first instinct
When you're anxious or happy,
Or shy—even sad. In fact,
Your loveliest smile may be
The one you show me then:
When all that is left is you,
When at last your strength is spent,
When the plant has lost its bloom,
When you can no longer pretend
That your fear has no power;
Then, my love, you reach the end
And I can see your finest flower.
That Hideous Weakness
Nate Wilson kicked off our friendship with a bang. When he came to his first Hutchmoot the first thing he did was hand me a first edition of Till We Have Faces, which is possibly (depending on the weather) my favorite C. S. Lewis book. He didn't know it was my favorite, which made it an even sweeter gift. Last year I headed up to Moscow, Idaho, to teach at a workshop at New St. Andrews and Nate gave me yet another most excellent gift: a first edition of That Hideous Strength, the final book of the Space Trilogy. I had only read the first two (thanks to Kevan Chandler), and couldn't really imagine book three outshining the sweep and wildness of Perelandra.
One thing is clear: opinions abound about That Hideous Strength. I know of no other Lewis book that polarizes like this one. I've talked to quite a few people who never finished it, others who finished it but didn't like it, and still others (like Nate) who claim that it's Lewis's finest work. Well, I just finished it. And while the book as a whole may not have blown my mind like Faces, and while it took me longer to read than any other Lewis book, its effect on me was undeniable for a number of reasons.
There's a word that's given me a lot of trouble in the last few years. A word that we tout a lot around here. It's a word that's easy to use and hard to embody, a word that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and a word that, thanks to Dr. Steve Guthrie, I'm just now beginning to realize represents a great deal of power. That word is chartreuse. I dare you to say it without shuddering at its import!
But seriously: the word is community. I've called the Rabbit Room "an experiment in community," and at Hutchmoot we talk about carrying whatever light we encounter back into our communities. I've lauded the way the community of Christians here in Nashville has shaped my life and work and ministry. The Local Show is (hopefully) a way to plant community seeds. Community, community, community.
High and Lonesome Hymns
Every year I spend about six months wondering who in the world will fill the shoes of the previous year's special guest on the Behold the Lamb of God tour. I used to stress about it for six months, but it always works out so now I just wonder. We've been blessed not only with the crazy talent of the yearly band and artists, but since this thing started we've been joined by some amazing special guests—and most of them ended up on the tour due to some pretty random occurrences. Either I bumped into someone around town or sent them a text or they came to mind while I was jogging. My son Aedan is responsible for Thad Cockrell being on the tour this year. Here's how it went down.
Carly, the songleader at the 12 South congregation of Midtown Fellowship, does a fantastically understated job of choosing songs and leading the music. There for a while we sang a few old hymns and gospel songs that I was surprised I'd never heard. The first was called "Oh To Be Loved," a slow and simple waltz that was comforting and sad at the same time: "He knows the names of my sorrows / he knows the names of my fears / Why should I let them bother me? / For I know he is near." Simple, direct, and the melody suits it perfectly.
After All These Years: Preorder now!
On November 10th (in a mere three weeks!) my newest album, After All These Years: A Collection, will be released into the wild, so we're commencing with preorders.What is this collection, you ask? It's a total of eighteen songs spanning the last fifteen years or so of music—and that track list includes four (FOUR!) new ones and eight (EIGHT!) brand-spanking-new recordings of older songs (SONGS!). The new recordings of old songs were made in two days with some great friends and great musicians who I've had the honor of working with over the years: Ben Shive, Andy Gullahorn, Ken Lewis, Matt Pierson, Joe Causey, and Jill Phillips. Re-recording those old songs was strange and wonderful, especially since we reimagined some of them, which sort of gave them some new clothes to wear—clothes that fit better now than they did fifteen years ago. I can't wait for you to hear them.
Here's the quick highlight reel of the new songs:
"After All These Years" was written right after my 40th birthday this year, as a deliberate exercise in gratitude. It felt appropriate to write a song that would be a sort of Ebenezer stone in the wilderness—a song of thanksgiving to God for his abiding love over the last four decades, and one that I would have to sing every night for the next few years. A lot has changed in my life in a short amount of time, and I'm prone to some boneheaded grumbling these days. This song (and this record, for that matter) is my way of stacking stones, a cairn on the hilltop that I'll be able to see from the valley floor in the days and years to come.
"To All the Poets" was co-written with Gloria Gaither, and is an ode to the many poets, songwriters, and storytellers who have carried the fire and given us all words to pray when we had none of our own. (I'm looking at you, Rich Mullins and C. S. Lewis.)
"Romans 11 (Doxology)" was written right after we recorded Love & Thunder, but it never made it to an official album. I included the demo of it on Appendix A and then forgot about it, more or less. Then I met a guy named Charlie, a song leader from Michigan, who told me that he had been using it for years as the closing doxology at the retreat center where he works. When I sang it at the show that night I was overwhelmed by the sound of the congregation singing it back to me and decided to include it on this collection. Thanks, Charlie.
"Everybody's Got a Song" was finished backstage at the Ryman Auditorium right before the Behold the Lamb of God show in 2012. It's a love song to Nashville, my family and friends here, and to the coming Kingdom. This one features Nate Dugger on lap steel and the great Stuart Duncan on fiddle.
This link will whoosh you to the Rabbit Room Store, where you will not only be able to preview the tracks, you'll be presented with three (THREE!) irresistible offers. 1) Preorder the download of all 20 songs for a mere $10. 2) Preorder the disc (which would only fit 18 of the songs). 3) Preorder the download of all 20 songs AND the physical copy (which includes a pretty extensive booklet featuring an essay by Mark Geil). All three of these options helps me pay the mortgage, so we Petersons give you a hearty thanks.
I hope these songs are a blessing to you and yours.

'7th Heaven' follows the Camden family as the minister father and stay-at-home mother deal with the drama of having seven children, ranging from toddlers to adults with families of their own. The friends, neighbors and love interests of the various members of the family weigh heavily on the plot of the series, which addresses real-life issues. The series stars Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks, MacKenzie Rosman, Beverley Mitchell, David Gallagher, Barry Watson and Jessica Biel.
'7th Heaven fits the GMC family-friendly, uplifting entertainment brand like a glove,' said Leslie Chesloff, executive vice president, programming. 'We are thrilled to be adding it to our lineup and know that our viewers will enjoy these July marathons.'
Two GMC World Premiere Movies – Letters to God and Raising Izzie, will air in July.
Letters to God, inspired by a true story, is a heartfelt tale of inspiration, hope and redemption. It is the story of what happens when one boy's walk of faith crosses paths with one man's search for meaning. Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy armed with strong faith and courage as he faces his daily battle against cancer. Surrounded by a loving family and community, Tyler's prayers take the form of letters he sends to his ultimate pen pal, God, on a daily basis. These letters find their way into the hands of Tyler's postman, Brady, who is at a crossroads in his life, searching for meaning. Brady at first is confused over what to do, but his decision ultimately is a testament to the power of Tyler's shining spirit, bravery and grace. Letters to God delivers a message of hope, faith and courage that others can apply to their own personal struggles, regardless of what they may face in their everyday lives. The film stars Tanner Maguire, Jeffrey S. Johnson, Robyn Lively (30 Rock, Twin Peaks), Bailee Madison (Lonely Hearts, Just Go With It, Once Upon A Time) and Ralph Waite (The Waltons).
Letters to God premieres Sunday, July 8 at 7pm, 9pm and 11pm ET, with additional airings on Monday, July 9 at 9pm, and Friday, July 13 at 9pm and 11pm ET.
Raising Izzie, starring Rockmond Dunbar, Vanessa Williams, Kyla Kenedy and Victoria Staley, tells the gripping story of Gertie and Izzie, two young girls living on their own. As orphans they are doing the best they can to stay in school, stay undetected and stay together. With assistance from their mother before her passing, the girls are financially prepared to sustain themselves for some time. Gertie, 14, takes seriously her charge to raise her younger sister, Izzie, 10. Greg and Tonya are a couple whose love for one another radiates and for some time now, they have attempted to build a family and have failed. Tonya longs to share the love and nurturing she has been channeling through her job as a teacher into children of her own. Raising Izzie premieres Saturday, July 21 at 7pm, 9pm and 11pm ET. It also will air the following day, July 22, at 7pm, 9pm and 11pm ET.
A '7th Heaven' marathon, 'Meet the Minister's Daughter,' will lead into the July 22 airings of Raising Izzie.
Other elements of GMC's '7th Heaven Summer' include:
• Monday, July 2, 'Heartland' (10am-11pm ET)

The Art of Attorney Mediation: 10 Ways to Improve Your Law Practice Using Negotiation Skills
Krivis, Jeffrey, Dispute Resolution Journal
Mastering basic mediation skills can take your practice to the next level. Philosophically, litigation and mediation seem worlds apart. While both are forms of conflict resolution that involve an outside party, the outcomes differ wildly. The results of litigation rarely satisfy both parties. The results of mediation are far more satisfying, since mediators use negotiation skills to reach a common ground on which all parties can agree.
Many attorneys could dramatically improve their law practices by learning to negotiate effectively both inside and outside the courtroom. For example, learning the art of negotiation would help them negotiate with demanding, disgruntled clients to obtain information that clients aren't always eager to disclose, often out of fear that it will hurt their case. It would also help them negotiate with opposing counsel to reach concessions that will save time and money by reducing the issues in dispute or even settling the case. In addition, they will be better able to help their clients become willing to negotiate. Clients who are angry or feel hurt in some way may not always be willing to agree to a proposal that isn't completely in their favor, even if they don't have the strongest case. A lawyer who is a good negotiator will be able to present the case in a way that helps the client clearly see all points of view, not just one viewpoint. Many trial attorneys I see in my mediation practice are surprised to see how negotiating with a client can help open doors to solutions the client may have rejected when the attorney first proposed them.
I explain mediation as a way of reframing a situation in order to persuade people to shift their positions so as to make a resolution possible. To be a successful negotiator, attorneys need to understand some basics about human behavior and practice the fine art of paying attention.
Here are 10 tricks of the negotiation trade that can make a positive difference in your legal practice:
A person who is deeply upset about something needs to get his story out. Allowing people to tell their stories is a basic principle of mediation. While it is true that this can increase the level of conflict, it is necessary to get through this phasae of the conflict to find the solution. This can happen when a person with a grievance feels that he has finally "been heard" and undergoes a dramatic change in outlook. Plus, allowing the story to be told is also a means by which new information may come to light that could allow a solution to emerge.
I recently mediated a situation in which a famous television producer was on the verge of being sued for plagiarism. The would-be plaintiff was about to claim the producer had stolen his idea for a TV show. When anyone talked to him about his grievance, he gave terse emotionless answers. So during a private meeting I asked him what he wanted to achieve. He almost broke down, saying, "I never wanted to bring this case in the first place. I just want to break into television."
So I returned to the producer and asked, "Is there any way you can help this guy out?" When the producer said, "Sure, let me talk to him," I arranged for them to meet. The producer ended up offering the would-be plaintiff a development deal. This illustrates how tapping into repressed emotions can lead to a solution that makes everyone happy.
You generally do not have the ability to speak openly with both parties, but you can use this approach to encourage your clients to open up and reveal everything you need to know to create a solid case.
Ask yourself, "What is the true motivating factor here?" Once you identify the impediment, you can predict how your client will respond and then shape the negotiations accordingly. …

Since the collapse of the real estate market in Dubai, property developers including Nakheel and Emaar were crippled by the collapse but there may be a ray of hope now
August 2, 2012 3:40 by Muhammad Aldalou
Despite talks of unfinished residential and commercial projects, an excess of supply with a weak demand, Dubai may be seeing a recovery in one of its most important sectors; Real estate.
The largest players in the market, including Nakheel and Emaar have both announced their surge in profits in the first half of this year. Emaar is the developer of the world's tallest building, yet that has not stopped the property 'giant' from suffering through many hindrances along the path to a steady stream of revenue since the strike of the recession.
However, this week they have announced that they have experienced an 82 percent surge in profits; displaying the hopeful glow of the phoenix reborn from the ashes.Emaar saw its net profit in the first six months rise to 1.22 billion dirhams, compared with 671 million dirhams in the corresponding period last year.
"The real estate market in Dubai is turning around, led by the robust performance of key growth sectors including aviation, retail, hospitality, tourism and foreign trade," said Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi based hotels have all reported a surge in revenue as well; thanking the strong tourism magnet that continues to grow strong even during the month of Ramadan. Hoteliers are noticing a pattern that grows stronger year by year; displaying the strength of tourism as unfaltering.
Even Nakheel, who has faced more than a few hindrances, what with their constant battle against stubborn landlords refusing to pay service fees and their hope for a further discount before they begin to consider settling their creditors; has experienced a surge in profits that almost skimmed the surface of 40 percent. However, the Dubai based property developer is still in debt and is not ready to pay back yet.
At the height of the property boom in the city, Nakheel's extravagant developments contributed to its debt woes and have been attempting to get up ever since the crippling real estate collapse. The fatal mistake that property developers committed was increasing the supply of real estate properties without having any projections of demand to meet it.
Nakheel currently has AED 5 billion in creditor payments to make but its chairman hopes that its creditors will take more than 80 percent discount before settlements are made.
"The total claim was about Dhs8 billion. We've settled Dhs3 billion. The remaining big boys, they put the big figures, but we're confident it will be about the same [reduction]," Nakheel's chairman said.

I will follow Nakheel business model immediately. Will go to the bank to get a credit and buy villas and cars in Spain. After 5 month I will stop paying and negotiate a new deal. I will ask them a 80% haircut. I am not sure I will be able to make it to my place after that meeting. It is hard to believe that any developer is in better shape as their liabilities, financial, contractual and moral to their customers and suppliers are nor met yet. all this is just make up on a dead body.

He cheated. Now what?
First off, I'm sorry you had to experience this!
Secondly, if I was in your shoes right now I would leave because he said he wanted to do some stupid before committing. I mean what sort of excuse is that?
For me that raises alarm bells. Also the fact he had full intensions of doing it with this other woman. He cant be forgiven just because he didnt get hard and couldnt do the deed with the other chick.
You will only cause more pain to yourself in the future if you stick with this guy.
I hope you get through this okay. I wish you the best of luck hun!
I have been in a cheating situation and the only reason I stayed to work on it was because we had been married 8 years. He didn't just "do something stupid" one night. DH had a full-blown affair, thought he found the "real" love of his life and left me...7 month pregnant.
I knew in my heart that wasn't DH. He had gotten lost. I wanted him back, but wasn't going to beg and fully prepared to raise our son as a single mother. With tons of prayer and years of really working, he came back and today our marriage is stronger than ever. So, I don't agree that once a cheater always a cheater. Now, 1) Had he done it before we got married I wouldn't have married him 2) If it happened in my home I wouldn't have been able to forgive and 3) I was honest with myself. I believe DH was remorseful and won't do it again. I'm not a fool and he will not play me for one. I love him, but I love myself and my son more so he will NEVER do anything like that to our family again. For me, forgiving him didn't mean I was weak....it meant I was strong and I was strong for the sake of my family.
So, I think you know in your heart if his apology is sincere or just for the moment. He may not be mature enough to handle a family. That's okay because you and your LO will be fine without him if it comes to that.

I can deal with a lot of stuff but cheating and hitting are final deal breakers for me. That is just me though every one is different. You have to do what you feel is right in your heart but also listen to your head. If you feel like you'll NEVER trust him again(my problem with cheaters) then it isn't worth it because without trust you have nothing. To be with a cheater you have to be able to let go of what they did and really believe it wont happen again or you'll go nuts with worry and jealousy.
I just can't trust someone who has cheated on me and I know for a fact it happened...I have trouble letting stuff go and it would probably drive me crazy the rest of my life and i'd always 2nd guess them. So in stead of me going crazy I just let them go. I cried for about 6months after that but I know I wouldn't of been able to let it go if I had stayed.

Wow. the evidence you found. Holy cow, i'd be livid that it happened in my home! WOW!!

First the V750 as good as it is will not get all the info out of the neg (film flatness etc...). The 6x4.5 neg should be able to outresolve your D3
Second: What I like about film vs digital is easy film is organic digital is not take a look at a sensor curve and you will see that they lack character which is great if you want to fiddle for hours in the lightroom. Also since film is organic I see it as being closer to not only human perception but also to humanity with all it's flaws. Film is also much more versatile than digital at the picture taking stage furthermore each image looks the grain is randomized whereas the pixel in digital have the same arangement on every photo. Film gives therefore more unique images than digital.
Film is archivl digital not so much or to quote Jeff Rotheberg ""Digital documents last foreveror five years, whichever comes first"
But all in all I prefer Film's humanity
