First Planet/Already Lv.12
Hey guys, i've got a simple question. Im playin KOTOR 2 and Nar Shaddaa is my first planet. Exile is already on level 12, alliies are level 11. Brianna and Mira aren't Jedis yet, but i want to shift them onto light side. I only had one fight with Brianna, so think it'll maybe take some more time to make her a Jedi. Now the question: Isnt that too late? Or is it normal that they become a Jedi so late? I mean she will be maybe Level 14. Perhaps i did too much Side Quests on Nar Shaddaa and Telos?! I hope you know what i mean, because i dont know how to express myself, because i have a bad english.
greetings, ther :)
Yeah, the default experience gain kinda makes a lot of things happen late. Try my game balance mod if you want to even things out a little (you'll be at level 15/16 by your first planet and level 30-ish by the end of the game).
Your english was fine :) Achilles is right things will happen late (especially if this is your first play through); though once you get good at things you know what to do where and when you level up quicker, and know where to get influence with Charachters. Also you may find the below helpful, but if this is your first playthrough may contain spoilers...
could u maybe give me a link to ur mod?
but em i right when i say, that max level in default KOTOR 1 & 2 is level 20?
/ahhhhhh and i've got another question (a bit off topic maybe :lol: )... is there something special i can do to battle handmaiden the second time, or does it just take time? and where can i see how much influence i have at my alliies? In some walkthroughs they always speak of Atton:87, Kreia:,44 bla bla bla
Achilles Game Balance Mod found on this page;
KotOR 2 TSL; Level 50-60 Max - one of the two; never get near it though; highest I've ever finished the game on was level 41
Thx for the mod jo :).
But do i get new feats and more skill points when im above level 20?
Of course, what would be the point of leveling up if you didn't? It works just the same as the leveling system you've used in K1 and are using in K2 ;) You'll find out soon enough anyways :p
p.s. jon or J7 for short; I'm not a jo ;)
Max level is 50 on TSL.
Want some advice, there's a bug in the Korriban hidden Tomb. Infinate Hississ on the dead Jedi body. Just keep clicking it and they appear. Be warned, unless your high level and have Force Storm and that multiple force drain, you'll die.
Brianna cannot become a Jedi until *you* are at least lvl18.
Well, if you don't get it, then
You don't have to level up them immediately after they get enough experience. A person can have tons of experience but still stay at lvl6, can't s(he)?
Seems the main boost you get from going up to 50 (or as close as you can) is the reservoir of force points and life energy is greater, meaning you can last longer. But I agree that most of the best/useful powers can be obtained well before you reach that level.
Well, I also chose guardian so my choice of feats came less often than it would have for a sentinel or consular. I really wanted to max out the 6 levels of lightsaber combat feats but I wasn't able to. Not that it mattered - TSL is relatively easy and my guardian was near invincible at the end. I remember dying (my entire party) like 20 times in K1, but I never did in K2.. not one time, seriously. Why did they make the final fights against Nihilus, Sion, and Traya so easy?
Well, I know my exile was around 36 when I went up against Kreia (No cheats, no KSE... And I think I might've used the Hississ (Sp?) glitch without knowing it was there!) and she was ruddy difficult! I tried about ten to eleven times to kill her, and I eventually managed it with mines! I had to mine to core so much that I almost overloaded my GPU/CPU displaying the explosions. But, it was always the Three Lightsabers that got me.
But, I think I was too thorough on my play through, but I thought it went by far too quickly (16h54m) in order to beat it. Compared K1's 21h34m without many sidequests!
The only hard Sith Lord was really Traya Or Kreia, Nihilus and Sion were too easy... I wonder if I should go through and change that once I re-install?
A piece of advice, get all Jedi Trainables to with at least +1 Wisdom naturally. Then stop levelling them up. Until they become Jedi.
Look on the manual, it says that Guardian Feat progression is quicker than the other two, mediocre at Force Powers and the slower at Skills.
However that's what the KotOR Savegame Editor and 2nd (3rd, 4th) playthroughs are for.
Unfortunately I played on XBox, without any mods. I have since purchased the PC version but have not begun another playthrough yet.
You may be right. Still.....unlimited powerrrrrrr! :lol:

College Hockey:Power plays, road wins and good goalies
Three things I thought I learned this weekend …
Note to MSU foes: Stay out of the box
Remember when Minnesota State's power play was one of the worst in the country? I believe I used the word "feeble" to describe it in more than one story. Don't look now, but the Mavericks have the WCHA's best and the nation's 10th best power play, as it's shot up to 22.6 percent. It's been clicking at nearly 40 percent during MSU's recent seven-game win streak. Jean-Paul LaFontaine leads the league in power-play goals (7) and points (11). The Mavericks scored four power-play goals in their first 10 games of the season. In the eight since, they have 17. Against Alabama-Huntsville, they scored three power-play goals each night of the series sweep, which proved to be the difference in the games.
Falcons, Nanooks come up big on road
Bowling Green and Alaska not only scored some huge road points this weekend with each winning and tying at Michigan Tech and Bemidji State, respectively, but they buoyed themselves before break after some tough stretches before the weekend. The Falcons not only beat the Huskies on Friday but scored two late goals in a come-from-behind tie on Saturday. That series followed a 1-4-0 stretch that included four one-goal losses. The Nanooks, meanwhile, have two wins and a tie on the road in their last three games following a five-game losing streak and a 1-7-0 stretch.
League has good goaltending
There was quite the goaltending battle between Alaska Anchorage's Chris Kamal and Lake Superior's Kevin Murdock on Saturday night in Anchorage. The Seawolves and the Lakers appeared to be heading into overtime scoreless, but UAA's Brett Cameron scored with just under 16 seconds to play. Murdock finished with 26 saves, and Kamal stopped 18 for the win, his first of the year, and series split. Anchorage is 7-2-1 at home this season. There's been some pretty good goaltending in the league this season with Ferris State's C.J. Motte, Minnesota State's Cole Huggins, Northern Michigan's Mathias Dahlstrom and Michigan Tech's Pheonix Copley, to name a few.
Oh, and one more thing …
Interesting comments about the officiating – one no-call in particular – from Michigan Tech coach Mel Pearson on Saturday night. It's a long but measured statement probably best viewed than transcribed. Check it out.

MTH 145 Elementary Statistics (4 cr.) is a required prerequisite of POL 361 Research Methods in Politics and Government (3 cr.).
POL 361 Research Methods in Politics and Government (3 cr.) is a requirement for the political science and/or public administration honors program.
Public administration majors may count a maximum of nine credits towards a political science major or six credits towards a political science minor.
All students must complete the general education, college core, major/minor, and university degree requirements in order to qualify for a degree. The easiest way to track all of these requirements is to refer to the Advisement Report (AR) found in the Student Information System (WINGS) Student Center. All enrolled students have access to the AR.
The following conditions apply to one or both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees:
Courses used to fulfill general education requirements will not apply to core requirements except for language courses (CHI, FRE, GER, RUS, SPA, MLG) that count in the general education requirement: "Mathematical/logical systems and modern languages" (GE 02, category 2).
Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Science degrees must accomplish the following:
Grade point average requirements for some programs will be considerably higher than 2.00. Re-entering students may be required to earn credits in excess of the 120 needed for graduation in any curriculum in order to replace credits earned in courses in which the content has changed substantially in recent years. Each case will be judged on its own merit.
No degree will be awarded unless all requirements are fulfilled and recorded within 30 days after the official ending date of each term.
Below is a sample degree plan that can be used as a guide to identify courses required to fulfill the major and other requirements needed for degree completion. A student's actual degree plan may differ depending on the course of study selected (second major, minor, etc.). Also, this sample plan assumes readiness for each course and/or major plan, and some courses may not be offered every term. Review the course descriptions or the class timetable for course offering information.
The sample degree plans represented in this catalog are intended for first-year students entering UWL in the fall term. Students should use the Advisement Report (AR) in WINGS and work closely with their faculty advisor(s) and college dean's office to ensure declaration and completion of all requirements in a timely manner.
General Education Program The general education curriculum (Gen Ed) is the common educational experience for all undergraduates at UWL. Sample degree plans include Gen Ed placeholders to ensure completion of the general education requirements. Courses may be rearranged to fit the needs or recommendations of the student's program of study. Gen Ed courses may be taken during winter term (January between the semesters) and summer to reduce the course load during regular terms (fall and spring). Students should consult with their advisor and/or the assistant to the dean of their college for assistance with course and schedule planning. Refer to the general education requirements for more specific details.
Note: at least 40 credits of the 120 credits required must be earned at the 300/400 level.
This sample degree plan does not establish a contractual agreement. It identifies the minimum requirements a student must successfully complete, to qualify for a degree, in a format intended to assist the student plan their academic career. Actual degree plans may differ.
At least two courses must be designed as writing emphasis.
MTH 145 Elementary Statistics is recommended.
MTH 145 is required to enroll in POL 361.
Public administration majors have the option of taking POL 261 or POL 361; however, students considering graduate school are encouraged to take both. Additionally, the Political Science and Public Administration Honors Program requires students to complete POL 361.

It's a nightmare that's hard to contemplate. My good friend Becky Dennis, who's worked in outsourcing for years, was thousands of miles from home after delivering a pitch to a group of executives.
A subtle, but decisive, shift took place in the sourcing advisory landscape today, with Alsbridge's announcing the acquisition of leading telecoms/networking sourcing advisor, Telwares, to firmly place Alsbridge as the main contender to ISG at the helm of the independent boutique advisor market.
In today's commodotizing market for IT and business services, HP's services business can only really look to defend what it still has against the encroaching competitive bite of the likes of Accenture, Cognizant, Genpact, IBM, TCS etc. However, there is one option that could revitalize its legacy: merge with one of the market leaders.
Let's boldly go to the final frontier of our discussion where KPMG's Cliff Justice talks about how the world of "outsourcing" has changed in today's economy
In Part III, we ask Genpact CEO Tiger Tyagarajan his views of the "57%", the percentage of enterprise customers who feel their provider does not understand their business
The need to hire and develop quality onshore account management and delivery personnel is becoming the crucial differentiator in today's ever-tightening outsourcing marketplace. Those that can win this talent war will be the ones who can truly move beyond yesterday's flagging outsourcing model.
In Part II of our interview with Genpact's CEO NV "Tiger" Tyagarajan, we discuss the bifurcation occurring between the sourcing approaches of small and mid-sized organizations and today's large enterprises… and the pace of change we can expect in today's environment
Welcome back to the Captain Cliff chronicles. And since Part II, we have actually witnessed Cliff speak for a whole hour at an outsourcing conference and manage not to mention the "O" word once. That's quite a feat, so let's find out why…
How would you like to build a software robot to automate a business process for one client, and then resell copies of that robot to a dozen other clients in the same vertical?

Well, Matt, it's called an opinion. But you don't see me going around calling the people who like this design "douchebags". If you're free to like a design, I'm similarly free to dislike it.

Here here! That is something that many threadless subbers need to think about before they blast people who comment negatively on their work,

This is very old, but I am not calling her a douchebag for criticising my work, but for the unhelpful, uninsightful and boring way in which she does so.

A one year old black German Shepherd named Jett was struck by a car and suffered serious injury to his head and legs. Rescuers from the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County (GSROC) were able to pick up Jett at the shelter to bring him under the rescue's care.
After receiving initial care from a Vet, Jett's treatment is estimated to cost $1700, and the rescue is hoping to do all they can to save his leg. According to GSROC, X-rays indicate no broken bones, but one of Jett's legs cannot carry any weight.
Donations towards Jett's vet care is tax-deductible and can be made online via FirstGiving. Click here to be routed to Jett's fundraising page.

Week Sixteen from The Vindicator
Par 3 or Far 3?
It's not common to be thrilled with a bogey. But on No. 9 at Salem Golf Club, you've done good with a bogey.
In fairness -- this is a Par 4 pair of trunks that someone squeezed into a Par 3 swimsuit.
At 258 yards from the tip, scoring a three on this is as tough a task as the Greatest has asked of anyone all year.
Um, sorry. It's also one of the reasons that it is one of final holes on this year's Greatest 18 – Reader's Choice.
Even the member distance of 233 yards is asking a lot for three shots.
If the distance wasn't enough, the green complex is testy, with bunkers and drop-offs around the green and a slick putting surface on it. And there is OB lurking as well.
Enjoy the crowd out at Salem as they're nice folks. And enjoy a bogey on No. 9.
Check back soon for more content.

Last night on Twitter a statement was posted that James 'Kenzie' Mackenzie was in a serious car accident. The singer who was once in UK boy band 'Blazin Squad', is now recovering in hospital.
Kenzie came back in the spot light after appearing on the UK television show 'The Big Reunion'. He joined Gareth Gates, Dane Bowers, Adam Rickitt and Kavana to make the new boy band 5th Story. The singer is now expected to miss a number of upcoming events.
Kenzie was on his way home after performing at a nightclub in Epping on Saturday night. The gigs he's now likely to miss include concerts scheduled in Chester and an appearance at Chilfest. A number of boybands have come together after appearing on the first and second series of ITV2's Big Reunion show, which has brought back a host of UK 90s bands for a noughties comeback. The individual members of the bands headed to Manchester as part of a hectic promotional tour, and were also pictured soaking up some rays at the Castlefield studios of radio station Key 103.
When kenzie teamed up with Gareth Gates, Adam Rickitt, Dane Bowers and Kavana to create a supergroup, even the most faithful of boyband fanatics had doubts. Could clean-cut Gareth really pay Freak Me justice? Did Kavana have more than one song?
Surprisingly, the lads actually seemed like a legitimate group, and more than matched the performance of their fellow Big Reunioners. 5th Story are ready to hit the road in October with 3T, Damage and A1, as well as last series' 5ive, 911 and Blue. But don't think that Kenzie will have any problems about hooking up with the senior class – because the Big Reunion originals are actually his former party pals.

Pellegrino, M W; Gasser, R B; Sprenger, F; Stetak, A; Hajnal, A (2009). The conserved zinc finger protein VAB-23 is an essential regulator of epidermal morphogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans. Developmental Biology, 336(1):84-93.
View at publisher
Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model to observe cell movements and shape changes during the morphogenesis of the egg-shaped embryo into an elongated tube-like larva. Although much is known about the structural determinants involved in epidermal morphogenesis, relatively little is known about the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory networks involved. Here, we describe the identification and functional characterization of the novel nuclear protein VAB-23, which belongs to a conserved protein family found in all metazoans. C. elegans VAB-23 is essential for ventral closure and elongation of the embryo. Time-lapse analysis indicates that VAB-23 is required for the formation of proper cell contacts between contralateral pairs of ventral epidermal cells. Tissue-specific rescue experiments reveal a function of VAB-23 in ventral neuroblasts that control the enclosure of the embryo by the overlaying epidermal cells. Finally, we provide evidence suggesting a role of VAB-23 in post-transcriptional gene regulation. We thus propose that VAB-23 regulates the expression of multiple secreted guidance cues in ventral neuroblasts that direct the migration of the overlaying epidermal cells. Members of the VAB-23 family may perform similar functions during morphogenesis in other metazoans.

Grace Schulmanb. 1935
Art, history, and faith are common themes in Grace Schulman's poetry. Many of her poems are ekphrastic, a style that the title of one of her more recent collections, The Paintings of Our Lives (2001), suggests. Schulman's history is usually the history of her beloved New York City, where she has lived and worked as a dedicated poetry advocate all her life. Earthly moments and details of city life constantly suggest larger spiritual questions. She names Hopkins, Donne, Shakespeare, Dante, Whitman, and Moore as her influences.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Pettiford, Oscar
Oscar Pettiford set the standard for bassists in bebop by drawing out the melodic and solo potential of his instrument. In a groundbreaking series of recordings with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Thelonious Monk, saxophonist Sonny Rollins and his own groups, he established and expanded a vocabulary for the bass which was harmonically advanced yet grounded in melody.
Oscar Pettiford with Max Roach and J.J. Johnson
(Photo by Marcel Fleiss)
Oscar Pettiford was born on September 30, 1922 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He was of mixed African and Native American ancestry, and was born into a family of ten children. At the age of three, the family moved from Oklahoma to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
PettifordÆs family had a band which performed around Minneapolis. Oscar first sang and danced in the band, but wished to perform on an instrument. At the age of twelve, he began to the piano, and took up the upright bass at the age of fourteen.
Pettiford continued to perform with the family band even after graduating from Minneapolis North High School. The family band often performed at ōSwing City,ö an all-ages club on the St. Paul city limits. A prominent attraction of their set was PettifordÆs older sister Leontine, a pianist who doubled on reeds and contributed most of the arrangements. Oscar played with the family band until 1941.
In early 1943, Pettiford began to perform with saxophonist Charlie Barnet, and joined him on a tour that included a stop in New York. During this time, Pettiford shared bass duties in Barnet's band with Chubby Jackson. In 1943, Pettiford recorded ōThe Man I Loveö with saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, which became a hit record and increased the bassist's stature in the jazz community. In May of 1943, Pettiford left the Barnet group and settled in New York City.
Upon his arrival in New York, Pettiford began to attend jam sessions at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem, where he met Thelonious Monk and other bebop pioneers. Shortly afterwards, Pettiford performed on 52nd Street in Manhattan at the Onyx Club in a band led by trumpeter Roy Eldridge with saxophonist Budd Johnson, pianist Sir Charles Thompson and drummer Harold ōDocö West.
Pettiford co-led a quintet the Onyx Club with Dizzy Gillespie that included saxophonist Lester Young, pianist George Wallington and West. Don Byas eventually replaced Young and drummer Max Roach replaced West. Differences between the members eventually caused the group to break up, with Gillespie going on to perform at the Yacht Club and Pettiford leading his own quintet at the Onyx with West and trumpeter Joe Guy.
A short time later, Pettiford toured to California with Coleman HawkinsÆ band, which included Thompson, trumpeter Howard McGhee and drummer Denzil Best. The Hawkins group made an appearance in John HoffmanÆs 1945 film The Crimson Canary, although his performance was dubbed on the soundtrack by bassist Budd Hatch.
From November 1945 until March 1948, Pettiford performed with bandleader Duke Ellington. In April 1948, Pettiford performed with drummer J.C. Heard in pianist Erroll GarnerÆs trio at the Three Deuces Club. Through the end of 1948, Pettiford performed at the Three Deuces with trombonist Kai Winding and trumpeter Miles Davis.
Soon after, Pettiford formed an all star group at the Clique Club with Davis, trumpeter Fats Navarro, saxophonists Lucky Thompson and Dexter Gordon, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist Bud Powell and drummer Kenny Clarke.
In February of 1949, Pettiford joined bandleader Woody HermanÆs band. On one occasion, Pettiford was playing baseball with the Herman sidemen and broke his arm, severely limiting his activities over the next year. Throughout this time, Pettiford focused his energy on learning the cello, often playing it with his arm still in a sling. He later incorporated the cello into is performances and recordings, and is often credited for introducing the cello as a solo instrument into the jazz community.
After his recovery, Pettiford joined a sextet co-led by drummer Louis Bellson and trumpeter Charlie Shavers. In 1953, Pettiford joined pianist Bud PowellÆs trio at Birdland. In 1955, Pettiford led a quintet that included trombonist Jimmy Cleveland, saxophonist Jerome Richardson, pianist Horace Silver and Clarke at the Cafķ Bohemia. In March 1956, Pettiford led a trio with pianist Phineas Newborn Jr. and Clarke at the Basin Street West Club.
In December 1956, Pettiford performed on Thelonious MonkÆ album Brilliant Corners. On the album's title track, Pettiford expertly anchors the ensemble through various tempo changes while securing the harmonic foundation. Pettiford allows Roach to handle most of the rhythmic inflections, leaving himself to secure the changes.
From 1956 until 1957, Pettiford led his own big band, which was highly regarded for its creative arrangements and instrumentation. The groupÆs personnel were rarely stable, owing in part to PettifordÆs own temperament. PettifordÆs sidemen included Cleveland, trumpeters Art Farmer and Donald Byrd French hornist David Amram, saxophonists Gigi Gryce, Sahib Shihab and Benny Golson, pianist Dick Katz and drummer Gus Johnson.
In May 1957, Pettiford appeared on trumpeter Kenny DorhamÆs album Jazz Contrasts. On ōIÆll Remember April,ö Pettiford begins the song with a brief introduction before launching into verse. Pettiford firmly sticks to the 4/4 rhythm, with periods where he goes into a two-feel. PettifordÆs digression into several different rhythmic patterns increases the rhythmic integrity of the song.
In February 1958, Pettiford was featured on Sonny RollinsÆ album Freedom Suite. Along with drummer Max Roach, the trioÆs crowning achievement is the title track, on which Pettiford carefully supports the melodicism of the suite by choosing not to overplay. Pettiford pays special attention to Rollins throughout the entire suite by providing a strong harmonic framework.
In September 1958, Pettiford toured France and Germany. In June 1959, he relocated to Copenhagen, Denmark. During the last few years of his life, he performed with saxophonist Hans Koller, guitarist Atilla Zoller, with Clarke or Jimmy Pratt on drums. In 1958, Pettiford was involved in an auto accident that fractured his skull, though this did little to slow him down.
In 1958, Pettiford performed with saxophonist Stan Getz in Sven MethlingÆs film Soldaterkammerater. From late 1959 until 1960, Pettiford performed with GetzÆs quartet at the Montmartre Club in Copenhagen.
Pettiford performed for the last time on Sunday September 4, 1960 at an art exhibit in Copenhagen. The following day, he was taken to the hospital where he fell into a coma. Pettiford passed away on September 8, 1960 in CopenhagenÆs Fiedfrederiksberg Hospital at the age of thirty-seven.
At the time, Danish doctors refused to give the cause of death, though rumors spread to New York that his death was due to an act of violence. Due to the fact that paralysis became an apparent symptom, his death was believed to be caused by a ōPolio-likeö viral infection. One other source claimed that his death was caused by complications that stemmed from his auto accident two years earlier. Pettiford left behind a wife and three children.

EUGENE - More good news for Oregon junior women's golfer Kendra Little.
The Eugene, native not only won the Branch Law Firm / Dick McGuire Invitational individual title in Albuquerque last Sunday, but her tournament record 12-under 207 (71-68-68) also broke the school record of 8-under set by former teammate Cathryn Bristow in the 2008 UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational (69-69-70-208 (par 72)).
Her score also puts her atop the early season national Golfstat Cup rankings (69.00 average), and she's followed by Darlene Bognot of Morehead (second) and Carolien Hedwall of Oklahoma State (third).
Individual rankings are available at the http://golfstat.com/2009-2010/women/wgscup/wgscup.htm and websites, and Golfweek national rankings will be available later this week at the http://www.golfweekrankings.com/ellington/default.asp?t=wi website.
Last year, Little ended the season ranked top 100 in both national individual rankings (GolfStat 78th; GolfWeek 89th).During the collegiate campaign, she finished 12th in the Pac-10 Championships (76-73-70-219) and became the second Duck ever to earn multiple All-Pac-10 honors with her second-team honors in 2008 and '09. She notched her second career victory last September to open the season in the Giustina Memorial Classic (69-73-73-215) in Corvallis, with her other win in the 2008 Duck Invitational (70-73-71-214).
During the summer of '09, she finished second in the Oregon Amateur and PNGA Amateur and also competed in the U.S. Women's Amateur and advanced to the opening round of match play.
Looking ahead, Little will look to defend her 2008 Giustina Memorial Classic title next week when the No. 35 Duck women play with their men's counterparts next Monday-Tuesday, September 28-29 at the Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis, Ore.

CURTIS RAY GUTHRIE and ) Case No. 08-13000
VERONA FAYE GUTHRIE, ) Chapter 13
Debtors. )
Debtors Curtis Ray Guthrie and Verona Faye Guthrie move for an order requiring their car
financier, Easy Credit Auto Sales, Inc. ("Easy Credit"), to endorse a motor vehicle insurance check
to them so that they may purchase a replacement vehicle.1 Easy Credit objects, arguing that
allowing debtors to take the insurance proceeds to purchase another vehicle without paying off Easy

Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 2 of 8
Credit would result in unlawfully forcing Easy Credit to finance another vehicle for Debtors.2 The
Trustee objects to the extent allowing a replacement collateral permits the debtors to incur additional
debt which will strain the debtor's already precarious ability to make their Chapter 13 plan payments
and may prejudice unsecured creditors because funds that would otherwise be distributed to them
will instead be paid either to Easy Credit or the new auto lender.3
The Court convened an evidentiary hearing on this motion on May 27, 2009. The Guthries
appeared in person and by counsel, Todd Allison. Easy Credit appeared by counsel W. Rick Griffin.
The Trustee appeared by counsel Christopher T. Micale. The debtors and Easy Credit representative
Rick Hill testified. Easy Credit's Exhibits A and B were admitted into evidence by stipulation.
After hearing closing arguments, the Court gave counsel 10 days to submit letters on any authority.
The Trustee and Easy Credit each filed a letter of authority.4 Debtors did not.
On June 18, 2009, following receipt of the post-trial letters of authority, the Court took the
matter under advisement. After careful consideration, the Court makes its findings of facts and
conclusions of law in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 52 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7052.
Findings of Fact
Debtors filed their Chapter 13 bankruptcy case on November 19, 2008. The plan has yet to
be confirmed. Within 910 days of the date of the petition, Debtors purchased a used 2002 Chevrolet
Blazer from Easy Credit and granted Easy Credit a purchase money security interest in it. Debtors
signed a Retail Installment Sales Contract (the "Contract") promising to pay some $8,544.05 for the

vehicle, inclusive of taxes, contract fees, and the dealer document fee. The Contract specifies that
the buyer bears the risk of damage or loss of the vehicle and that "neither the loss of nor damage to
the motor vehicle shall release you from your obligations under the Contract." The Contract also
requires the debtors to maintain insurance coverage on the vehicle. The terms of the security
agreement further state that "You also give us a security interest in the proceeds of any physical
damage insurance policy on the vehicle . . . ."5 Debtors made a $500 down payment and owe, as of
the date of filing, $7,309.09.
After the petition date, the vehicle was totaled in an accident. Debtors made an insurance
claim which, after the insurer withheld their $500 deductible, amounted to $5,089 payable to "Easy
Credit Auto Sales and Curtis Guthrie, Only."6 Easy Credit received the insurance proceeds from
Debtor's insurance company as the loss payee and claims it is entitled to keep it as proceeds of the
Debtors seek permission to use the insurance proceeds to purchase a vehicle as it is difficult
for them to get to and from work with only one vehicle. Easy Credit objects to the debtors'
replacing the vehicle with the insurance money because it fears that the debtors will not be able to
acquire a suitable vehicle without having to incur additional debt and impairing Easy Credit's
secured position. The Trustee objects that the debtors' incurring additional debt will prejudice the
unsecured creditors because funds that would otherwise be distributed to them will instead be paid
either to Easy Credit or the new auto lender. The debtors have no proposed automobile to purchase
as of the hearing date, but stated they were trying to locate a vehicle they could buy for the amount

Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 4 of 8
of the insurance proceeds.
The debtors reside in Burrton, Kansas. Mrs. Guthrie works as a nurse in Hutchinson; while
Mr. Guthrie, a recent heart patient, works as a maintenance man in a factory in McPherson. Mrs.
Guthrie's place of work is about 15 miles from their home; Mr. Guthrie's work is about 40 miles
away. Mrs. Guthrie can be called in to work at virtually any time. It does not seem practicable or
economical for the Guthries to operate with only one car, given the significant distances between
their work and their home and their different work schedules. The Court is convinced that they need
a second vehicle.
The Guthries seek to use their insurance proceeds to replace the destroyed vehicle. Section
363 governs the use, sale or lease of property of the estate by the trustee.7 Section 1303 provides
that chapter 13 debtors have the same rights and powers that a trustee does under § 363(b), (d), (e),
(f), and (l). Thus, the Guthries may, upon receiving court approval, use or sell estate property
outside the ordinary course of business. They may do this so long as it is not inconsistent with any
order conditioning or granting relief from the stay. If they use property in which another entity
claims an interest, the court must prohibit or condition such use to adequately protect the entity's
Easy Credit argues that the insurance proceeds are not cash collateral because the debtors
7 Unless otherwise noted, all statutory references in the text are to Title 11 of the United
States Code.
8 See § 363(e), it provides that ". . . on request of an entity that has an interest in
property ... proposed to be used, sold, or leased, by the trustee, the court, with or without a
hearing, shall prohibit or condition such use, sale, or lease as is necessary to provide adequate
protection of such interest . . ."
Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 5 of 8
claimed the vehicle as exempt and it is no longer property of the estate. Accordingly, the proceeds
are also exempt and therefore not property of the estate. Easy Credit relies on In re Van Stelle for
this position.9 In Van Stelle, the substitution of collateral was proposed after the debtors' plan was
confirmed. The debtors in that case wrecked their vehicle during the interval between the
commencement of their case and the confirmation of their plan, but did not amend their plan to
reflect this turn of events before confirmation. When they sought to apply the proceeds of the old
car to purchasing a new one after confirmation, the court held that because the debtors' plan had
been confirmed and provided for estate property to revest in them at confirmation per § 1327(b), the
proceeds were no longer property of the estate and therefore could not be cash collateral under §
The facts in the present case are substantially different. Here, the Guthries' plan has not yet
been confirmed and, when it is, it will provide for a delay of the vesting of the estate's property in
the debtors until the case is closed. Unless the proceeds are excluded from the property of the estate
for some other reason, they remain subject to the Court's jurisdiction as property of the estate.
Property of the estate is defined in § 541(a)(1) to include "all legal or equitable interests of
the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case." Section 1306(a)(1), however, expands
a Chapter 13 estate to include "all property of the kind specified in [section 541] that the debtor
acquires after the commencement of the case but before the case is closed, dismissed, or converted."
Thus, even though the car was exempt, the insurance proceeds are clearly property of the kind
9 In re Van Stelle, 354 B.R. 157 (Bankr. W.D. Mich. 2006).
Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 6 of 8
specified in § 541 that the Guthries acquired after they filed their bankruptcy petition.10 In Kansas,
the proceeds of exempt assets only retain their exempt character when they are reinvested in other
exempt property.11
Because the debtors insured the Blazer and designated Easy Credit as loss payee, Easy Credit
retains a security interest in the Blazer's proceeds under the terms of the Contract and KAN. STAT.
ANN. § 84-9-315(a) and (c) (2008 Supp). This security interest is continuously perfected so long
as the security interest in the underlying collateral was perfected. No one suggests that it was not.
Contrary to the law in some states, Kansas law does not set over to the lender an ownership interest
in insurance proceeds. Instead, as Easy Credit's own documents provide, all Easy Credit has here
is a security interest in them. The proceeds remain payable to the debtor, subject to the claim or lien
of the lender. The proceeds are therefore property of the Guthries' bankruptcy estate by operation
of § 541(a)(6) and § 1306. Because Easy Credit had a perfected security interest in the Blazer, its
post-petition proceeds are subject to Easy Credit's lien by virtue of state law and § 552(b)(1). They
are, therefore, also cash collateral that cannot be used without Easy Credit's permission unless the
debtors offer adequate protection of Easy Credit's interest in them under § 363(c)(2) and (e).
Easy Credit argues that if the debtors are permitted to spend the insurance proceeds to
replace their vehicle, Easy Credit's collateral position will be impaired and it will be effectively
denied adequate protection as required by § 363(e). As a 910 lender, Easy Credit must be paid the
amount of its claim in full because the hanging paragraph in § 1325(a)(9)(*) precludes debtors from
10 In re Hoffmeister, 191 B.R. 875 (D. Kan. 1996), aff'd, 98 F.3d 1349 (Table) (10th Cir.
1996) (proceeds do not automatically follow the car; rather, § 1306 brings them under the court's
jurisdiction, so that any claim of exemption must be determined at the time of acquisition).
11 Independence Savings & Loan Ass'n v. Sellars, 149 Kan. 652, 88 P.2d 1059 (1939).
Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 7 of 8
having its allowed secured claim crammed down.12 Thus, whether or not Easy Credit receives the
insurance proceeds, it will still be entitled to be paid its entire claim, just as it would have been had
debtors opted to surrender the Blazer under § 1325(a)(5)(C).13 If the debtors spend the insurance
check on a replacement car and Easy Credit's security interest in the proceeds is transferred to the
replacement car, the debtors will still owe Easy Credit the entirety of Easy Credit's claim, secured
by a vehicle equal in value to the Blazer when it was destroyed. Easy Credit's position will not
have changed at all.
With regard to the Trustee's concern about diluting the unsecured creditors' recovery, there
is no indication at this time that the debtors intend to buy a car for an amount that exceeds the
amount of the check, nor does it appear that they have the means to do so. Doing so would require
the debtors to seek and obtain the Trustee's approval under § 1305(c). The Court is more concerned
that the debtors will be unable to complete their chapter 13 case without the transportation that they
clearly need. The Court also notes that these debtors are above-median debtors who are already
obligated to make substantial payments to their unsecured creditors by virtue of their pre-petition
disposable income. This suggests that the debtors may not be in a position to take on further debt
because they already have such a heavy payment burden. Moreover, as the trustee points out, if the
debtors incur a further purchase money loan to acquire a replacement vehicle, questions about the
relative priority of the 910 Loan and the post-petition loan would remain.
12 Section 1325(a)(9)(*) provides that the provisions of § 506 do not apply in this
instance. Thus, this loan may not be crammed down to the value of the vehicle; rather, Easy
Credit's allowed claim must be treated as fully secured and paid in full. Daimler Chrysler Fin.
Serv. Americas, L.L.C. v. Ballard (In re Ballard), 526 F.3d 634, 638 (10th Cir. 2008).
13 Ballard, 526 F.3d at 640.
Case 08-13000 Doc# 67 Filed 07/20/09 Page 8 of 8
On balance, the rights of the parties as they are outlined in the Bankruptcy Code will be best
balanced and protected if the debtors are permitted to utilize the insurance proceeds to purchase, for
cash, a replacement vehicle. The vehicle must have a value of not less than $5,589, the sum of the
insurance check and the withheld deductible. This will require the debtors to expend $500 from
another source. Easy Credit's lien on the insurance proceeds shall transfer to and become a first
priority lien on any such replacement vehicle. The Court finds that such a replacement lien is the
indubitable equivalent of what Easy Credit had as security immediately prior to the wreck that
destroyed the Blazer: a first lien on a $5,589 car. Thus, Easy Credit's interests in the Blazer's
proceeds will be adequately protected.
The Court GRANTS the debtors' motion on the forgoing terms and ORDERS as follows.
Both Easy Credit and the debtors shall make and execute all documents and instruments necessary
to obtain payment of the insurance proceeds to the debtors. Easy Credit shall endorse the insurance
check to the debtors so they may use them to acquire a vehicle on the terms set forth above. The
debtors shall execute a security agreement, an application for secured title, and any other necessary
documents to attach and perfect a first lien in favor of Easy Credit to the replacement vehicle.
Debtors shall further provide to Easy Credit, documentation or proof of their purchase of a
replacement vehicle having a value of at least $5,589. Finally, the debtors shall maintain insurance
on the replacement vehicle as required by the terms of Easy Credit's contract and Kansas law.
Debtors shall not incur additional credit to replace the Blazer absent the approval of the Trustee and
the Court and compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

An estimated fifty million people suffer from symptoms including fatigue, joint pains, depression, or heart palpitations signs that the immune system has turned on itself, causing conditions such as thyroid disease, hepatitis, or multiple sclerosis.

Wednesday Whine Session: Nail Hygiene in the Office
Everyone has their share of phobias, whether it is tight spaces, spiders, or heights.
One of mine just happens to be nail hygiene in the office. It's a losing battle considering that there always seems to be that one employee who clips nails as if it's their favorite past-time. Just the thought of nail clippings flying from cubicle to cubicle makes me nauseous.
The other day, I was writing an email and I heard the sound. That distinct clipping sound you do not expect, nor want to hear at the office. I took a closer look, and low and behold was a nasty coworker ducked down in his cubicle clipping his finger nails.
I don't go to work to make enemies, so it only made sense to walk away. In the future I think I might leave an anonymous note (very easy, very passive-aggressive). Of course the fun and creative resolution would be to toss up a football and have Kimbo Slice crash through his cubicle wall with a neck-breaking tackle. Click here for the Youtube link.
This however will most likely get you the boot, and even a possibility of jail time. I digress.
How often does this happen in the workplace? There's nothing in my employee handbook on the subject. A quick Google search found very little information on the subject, leaving me with only a few others ranting about their disgust of office nail clipping.
If you feel like you ARE this employee, do us all a favor and stop the clipping – the office will appreciate it more than you think.

Bobo Loses Patrick Connolly; EMP's NoMad Projects Gain Tenpenny's Jeffrey Tascarella
Lots of movement in today's chef-o-verse: Eater learns that Bobo and chef Patrick Connolly have broken up in a mutual decision, with neither's next step seemingly planned yet. Let's hope this doesn't mean the restaurant is returning to the instability of its first year, when it burned through two chefs before luring Connolly from Boston. A bit farther up the island, there's big news for Tenpenny's Jeffrey Tascarella (a Scarpetta vet), who's scarcely had his wow-this-is-really-good-for-a-midtown-hotel restaurant open half a year before today's announcement from Diner's Journal that he'll decamp to the NoMad Hotel, to work with the EMP team on the restaurants there.

Full Naismith Watch List
SEATTLE – Washington guard Jazmine Davis was named to the 50-player watch list for the 2013-14 Naismith Trophy presented by AT&T. Davis joins five other players from Pac-12 who are being considered for an award given to the top player in women's college basketball.
Davis, who was also named to the Wooden Award watch list, is off to a hot start for the Huskies so far this season. The junior is averaging 19.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. She had a season-opening 23 points at Saint Mary's, before a well-rounded of 18 points, eight assists and six rebounds in the Dawgs win over Seattle U.
Davis is coming off a sophomore season where she was second in the Pac-12 in scoring at 19.3 points per game. The San Jose, Calif., native is Washington's all-time leading scorer through two seasons with 1,113 points. She became the second-fastest Husky to 1,000 points, needing just one more game than UW legend Jamie Redd.
Davis joins Brittany Boyd and Gennifer Brandon of California, Cassie Harberts of USC, Michelle Plouffe of Utah and Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford from the Pac-12 on the Naismith List.
The Dawgs are in the midst of a long break between games, before heading out on a difficult road trip to Houston and Texas A&M. The Dawgs face Houston on December 4, at 5 p.m., before taking on Texas A&M on December 7, also at 5 p.m.

It's debatable whether this recession, the one some folks are calling the Great Recession, is over or not. Some economists say it is; others won't go that far yet.
But a lot of people are still hurting. They're unemployed or under-employed and have been looking for months for a new job and haven't had any luck.
Lancaster County, unfortunately, continues to have one of the highest unemployment rates in South Carolina. Last month, it was over 18 percent, meaning officially almost 1 in 5 Lancaster Countians were unemployed in October.
Back in August we asked those who made reader comments on our Web site stories to use decorum, be civil and respectful.
Recently, several folks crossed the line of civility and we turned off the option for posting comments on the entire site.
We contacted the offenders and we also blocked their ability to post comments. We didn't like turning off the comment option.
I read in The Lancaster News about HOPE losing its freezer with the turkeys and rice.
My wife and I were in Walmart and I saw a bin filled with turkeys.
After returning home, I suggested to my wife to buy some turkey breasts and rice to help replenish part of HOPE's loss.
I hope this letter will touch your hearts and encourage others to help to fill that freezer so any needy family will enjoy a good meal for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
May God bless you.
Pierce and Margaret Baker
The Lancaster County Boy Scouts Hall of Fame is off to a solid start.
The Scouts hall recently inducted its inaugural class, a trio who deserve their special place.
The group includes retired physician Dr. William Duke, the late Dick Weisner and Lois Lucas.
The Lancaster Scout Hall was started in a show of thanks to leaders, who have come from the scouting ranks. The hall also is a way to thank the volunteers who have made a positive impact on Scouts and guided them to be leaders.
The visual arts students at Andrew Jackson Middle School learned about the Lancaster Chamber Choir from their chorus teacher, Heather Turner. They participated in a support project for the choir.
The goal was to design uniquely special thank-you stationery for the choir's membership drive. Twenty-eight students of Heather Althoff's class participated in the contest.
I want to express my thanks to the people of Kershaw for organizing Saturday's Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. I am proud to have been one of the World War II veterans who made the flight. The trip was all that was promised. The transportation and visits to the various sites were as scheduled, and there were many moving moments.
We were told that there would be groups at each of our destinations – Kershaw, Columbia and Washington – to welcome us. And they were there, when we left and returned home.
There's usually an increase in charitable giving during the holidays. It's not that those needing assistance are fewer during other times of the year; it's that the spirit of the holidays moves people to give a little more.
Unfortunately, tough times often result in a drop in donations. And while we all hope our national jobs crisis improves soon, the sad fact is that millions of Americans have become unemployed since this time last year.
I'm writing concerning Rob Emory's guest column, "It's not about change, it's about control," in the Nov. 27 edition of The Lancaster News.
The current administration is not taking over every or really any aspect of the American life. Today we are in a holy war – one which could go on until the end of time. This is not President Barack Obama's fault. He and his administration inherited it.

Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, appears not travel lightly even when going across town. Police found $29,000 in cash, and a metal briefcase containing bottles of prescription pills when they pulled him over for a traffic violation this month. The cash was found in his wallet, in two laundry bags and in a briefcase, according to Fox Sports on March 27.
Irsay was pulled over after he was observed coming to a full stop two times while in the travel lane in the downtown area of Carmel, Indiana. He told the officer who pulled him over that he sometimes has trouble finding his home, which he just moved to in February.
The officer said that Irsay appeared impaired, as he had to have him sit on the patrol car's hood to keep him from falling over. The Colts' owner failed the field sobriety test and refused to have a blood test done. The officer believed that Irsay was under the influence of another substance other than alcohol.
Refusing the blood test is an automatic year suspension for your license. The billionaire was less than a half of a mile from his home when he was pulled over. He spent the night in lockup, but let go the following morning.
He was booked on "preliminary charges of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. Prosecutors are not bound by preliminary booking charges, reports Deputy Prosecutor Andre Miksha.
In 2002 Irsay had several years of orthopedic operations resulting in a dependence of painkillers. He did seek treatment for that problem and was said to have overcome the dependence.
While Irsay refused the blood test, the judge approved a search warrant to draw his blood. After declining to answer questions at the jail without his attorney, he was released the next day.
The Colts' owner's family commented on his arrest saying that he has recently undergoing treatment at a facility treatment recently. They didn't identify the treatment facility, but they did say it was outside of Indiana.

When entering a grappling tournament as competitors we are all aware of the dangers that might occur when we compete. It is very common in almost every tournament you go to from the small tournaments to the high level events that an injury is bound to take place. Although most of these injuries are apart of the game and totally unintentional by our opponent, there are some injuries that can't help but draw attention to spectators and viewers alike.

They say "the journey itself is the biggest reward". As avid BJJ practitioners and fans, we sometimes hear inspiring stories of famous BJJ players' blood, sweat, and tears while rising to the top. While most of the stories discuss the journey toward world champion status, some journeys in the BJJ world are centered toward a quest for knowledge, experience, and love for the game. This statement best describes the journey of Kevin Howell.

Although most battles are fought on the arena/cage now days most wars are fought online on internet blog sites, Discussion forums, and chartrooms.

YouTube has always been a great source to go check out a variety of techniques from crazy sweeps to advanced submissions to implement into our game. Unfortunately the downside to watching some of these videos is that it may ruin our game due to the fact we don't have the basics covered. In other words we can't get to Point B because we haven't mastered Point A. On the other hand their are some great videos out there that can become very helpful.

text: While Chef Knives to Go has concentrated on expanding its selection of kitchen knives of Japanese design and manufacture, German cutlery is still the standard against which all other knives are measured in the west. While German knives are not a single design they can be distinguished from their eastern counterparts by several unifying features. First, German knives are often thicker and more robust than their Japanese counterparts. For many users the more robust design offers more cutting power and inspires more confidence in the user. Second, German steels tend to be softer stainless steels. These steels yield blades that are less prone to corrosion and chipping during normal use. The tradeoff is these steels do not take as keen an edge as many of their Japanese counterparts nor do they hold their edges as well. Third, German designed knives share a similar profile, tall at the heel with a pronounced belly toward the tip and a relatively flat spine. Lastly, German styled knives typically have a full length tang with riveted handle scales which are profiled to comfortably fit the hand in a racquet grip.

I was wondering if anyone knew for a fact if I need an International Driver's License permit from AAA to drive a rental car in Aruba? Thanks for any answers!
I was wondering if anyone knew for a fact if I need an International Driver's License permit from AAA to drive a rental car in Aruba? Thanks for any answers!
Welcome to the forum.
No international driver's license is required if you have a "non-Aruban" license.
"Driving is on the right side of the road, foreign and international driving licenses accepted. Free parking throughout the island, no right turns on red light. Click here to view the road signs in Aruba." http://www.aruba.com/thingstodo/getting_around.aspx
Thanks for the answer Arubalisa! Also, thanks for letting me know about no turn on red! I'm so used to making those in Virginia, I'm sure I would have done it without realizing!
I was never aware of the no right on red.... Not that there are many lights on the Island.
-Eric, Karen and Mia-
Aruba Summer 2015 6/27/15 - 7/5/15
Disney / West Palm 12/29/15 - 1/5/16
Aruba Summer 2016 6/25/16 - 7/3/16
read an article in one of the local trade papers while on the island last year and it reminded tourists that they do not allow turning on red and say there have been a few accidents because of that.....
seemed like everyone that knows the laws about turning on red, know they can only do it if there is no opposing traffic coming.......however, I see people trying to turn on read and "beat" on coming traffic that has the right of way in the states all the time so I guess if you do it here you would do it there as well !!!!!

> Mortgages
With real estate prices soaring and undeveloped land
becoming scarce in many cities and towns across the country, property
has become coveted commodity. That's because developers need land
to build on, so these days everything from older residential neighborhoods
and run-down tenements to worn-out industrial space and farmland
is under siege.
What happens if a developer makes a play in your neighbourhood?
Should you sell right away or hold out for a better deal? And what
happens if you don't want to sell at all -- can a developer force
you out?
The big picture
One of the challenges landowners face is that developers operate
in stealth mode, so many homeowners often don't even know a land
assembly is underway, says Brett Tkatch, a real estate lawyer at
Blaney McMurtry LLP in Toronto.
Developers often use shell companies and in-trust
arrangements when making offers and acquiring parcels of property.
"If you have that knowledge, you're in a better position (to
negotiate). The kicker is if you can find out."
Lawyers say the first people to sign on don't always
get the best price for their properties. By the same token, there's
a danger in being the holdout, the lone house surrounded by towering
high rises. Barnet Kussner, a property lawyer at WeirFoulds LLP
in Toronto, says, "Most sophisticated developers seem to find
ways to avoid the lone-holdout scenario. One classic example is
using a variety of different nominee companies to buy up various
properties so that they appear to be one-off acquisitions rather
than a land assembly."
No blank cheques
John Goundrey, a real estate partner at Alexander Holborn Beaudin
& Lang LLP, a Vancouver law firm, says when it comes to big
projects, developers will do whatever they can to close the deal.
That doesn't mean they'll hand you a blank cheque for your property.
"The intent is to offer something as close to market value
as possible. I don't think a developer would consider there to be
much point in going with a below-market offer."
Any offer will come with conditions, though, and it's
those conditions that can come back to haunt you. For example, Goundrey
says, a developer might agree to buy a group of houses on condition
that he is able to purchase all of them and acquire the necessary
approvals to build the structure he has in mind.
Tkatch cautions sellers against thinking it's a done deal too soon and arranging to buy a new house right away. "Until you have the money in the bank, don't count on it." He says it's nothing for developers to tie up land by putting down $20,000 deposit and then walking away from it later if things don't work out.

Saunas most often employ infrared heaters comprising of ceramic panels or tubes that produce infrared heat radiation for heating the skin. As no ultraviolet rays are created, the arrangement is safer than sunbathing.
However, infrared radiations present their own risks in saunas when heat is too severe. People patronizing saunas should know the likely hazards and even those using alternate infrared heating arrangements should not overlook some of the common health problems relating to extended exposures.
A very frequent trouble connected with infrared heat is plain burning. Burning occurs when the uppermost layers of skin get too heated due to infrared radiation. Though it does not damage the cell like ultraviolet rays do, it still leads to having surface burns on the skin which may aggravate if exposed for too long. It is unlikely for anyone to remain in an infrared sauna for a time long enough for it to happen but for their getting unconscious.
Blood Pressure
Infrared heat causes an increased flow of blood to skin which may cause lowering of blood pressure to other parts of the body. This could result to having a headache or even faintness. Elderly people or those already having symptoms of blood pressure should be extra careful.
Eye Damage
The eyes are particularly susceptible to infrared heat, and long-drawn-out exposure may damage the eyes and affect vision. Far-infrared rays may result to corneal burns, and even regular exposure could cause some irritation.
Skin Problems
Though normally the users may not expose themselves for too long to burn their skin, frequent exposure to infrared rays could cause not so serious damage to the skin and skin cells could crack to liberate pigments causing blotchiness. Such a condition was earlier related to legs when people would spend extended hours facing natural fireplace.
Water Loss
We know that on getting heated up, skin naturally releases sweat to maintain its natural temperature. People often use sauna for this purpose as it helps getting rid of toxins, but in the process body also loses water. This could cause dehydration, especially to those with low water content in the body.
Overheating here refers to the general problems relating to excessive exposure to heat. Some people might experience heat exhaustion, a state connected to dehydration while others could be affected by a heat stroke that might prove to be fatal.

Praise For…
"A sprawling, subterranean, sometimes-surreal novel of the new world order, longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, in which Bolaño and Pynchon wave in passing as we dodge between IEDs and sinister plots....Ambitious and often brilliant."—Kirkus Reviews

House's sprawling quadruple-decker, longlisted for the Booker Prize, is a literary thriller set against the background of the Iraq War."—Garth Risk Halberg, The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of 2014
"Richard House has written a damn good book....The Kills is possibly the most eyebrow-raising entry on this year's Booker longlist....He is not your average novelist, but is also a filmmaker, artist, and magazine editor....If this all seems hifalutin, rest assured: The Kills is still all about spinning a good yarn."—The Sunday Times (London)
"A gigantic experiment, bracing, thrilling and worthy of a medal for narrative heroism, Richard House's four-volume The Kills plays an epic set of variations on the shadow war for loot and influence behind the chaos of Iraq."—Boyd Tonkin, The Independent (London), Books of the Year
"The novel I enjoyed most was Richard House's sensational pile-driver, The Kills."—Philip Hensher, The Guardian (London), Best Books of the Year
