I have diverticular disease. Should I avoid eating nuts and seeds? I've heard conflicting advice.
In the past, many doctors recommended that people with small pouches in the lining of the colon (diverticula) avoid seeds and nuts, including foods with small seeds, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries. It was thought that these tiny food particles could lodge in diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis). But there is no scientific evidence that seeds and nuts cause diverticulitis flares.
In fact, eating a high-fiber diet — which may include nuts and seeds — might reduce your risk of diverticulitis.
However, people differ in the amounts and types of foods they can eat. Decisions about diet should be made based on what works best for you. Just make sure you're eating a nutritious, balanced diet.

Thibodaux teen dies in Alabama
Published: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 4:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 6:41 p.m.
A Thibodaux teenager died early Friday morning after he fell 16 stories from an Orange Beach, Ala., condominium balcony into a pool, Orange Beach Police said.
Challenge Talbot, 18, a graduate of E.D. White Catholic School either fell or jumped from a Turquoise Place condominium about 3:45 a.m., Orange Beach Police Chief Billy Wilkins said.
The average height of a building story is 10 feet, which means Talbot fell about 160 feet, or the width of a football field.
Talbot was staying in an apartment at the condo with friends, who "don't have any idea of what happened," Wilkins said. No one saw him fall, or jump, he added.
There is no indication of foul play, but "we can't say how he ended up in the pool," the police chief said.
It is not known whether Talbot had been drinking, Wilkins said. Autopsy and toxicology results are pending.
A couple walking up the condominium saw Talbot's floating face down in the pool, and they alerted police.
Talbot was a member of the E.D. White boys swim team, which placed second at the state championship in November.
"It definitely means a lot to be up on the board. You know, the school keeps (athletic achievements) up on boards in the gym," Talbot said of the victory in an interview published Nov. 29 in The Courier and Daily Comet. "When I look up at that board, I can say that I was on that team, and it means a lot."
Talbot also expressed a desire to stay involved with the team after graduation.
"They might win it next year, and I am thinking about coming back as an assistant coach," he said. "I think I can get a ring with these guys in the next few years."

An MRI on quarterback Jason Campbell's injured left knee has revealed a sprain, and his playing status for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos is uncertain, Raiders coach Tom Cable said Monday.
Cable first said Campbell's knee was fine, but a few minutes later the coach said "absolutely" when asked if he could envision No. 3 quarterback Kyle Boller starting against the Broncos.
How realistic that is will begin to crystallize Wednesday when Cable gets a look at regular starter Bruce Gradkowski (right shoulder) and Campbell in practice.
Gradkowski was injured during a victory over the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 10 and missed Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
Campbell was hurt in the first half against San Francisco but played all the way through. After completing five of his first seven passes, he missed on all but three of his next 14, finishing 8 of 21 for 83 yards and a 10.7 passer rating.
Boller, 29, has started 46 games during his seven-year NFL career. He last played in a regular-season game on Jan. 3 against the 49ers in a relief role for the St. Louis Rams. His last start came Dec. 6. He said he is ready as a starter or backup against the Broncos.
"I've pretty much stayed on top of it over the last six weeks," Boller said, "and that's part of your job. It doesn't matter if you're a starter, second-stringer or third-stringer. You have to always be into the game plan and doing just the same things the starter's doing. So, I don't think I'll miss a beat."
Boller, a former Cal standout, was on the inactive list for the first four games of the season but has been active for the last two. Against the 49ers, he was listed as No. 2 on the depth chart.
"You're one play away from going in now, versus maybe two," Boller said. "Anything I can do to help this team get to where we need to be, I'm all for it."
Campbell made it through the 49ers game without exhibiting any signs of being hurt severely, though at one point a team trainer examined his knee on the sideline.
Cable said he never considered bringing in Boller despite Campbell being at less than 100 percent and in the midst of the worst performance of his six-year NFL career.
Campbell and Gradkowski were unavailable for comment Monday.

SAN RAMON -- The De La Salle soccer team beat California and got some help from San Ramon Valley on Thursday to claim its third straight East Bay Athletic League championship.
De La Salle entered Thursday, the final day of the regular season, one point behind Monte Vista in the EBAL standings. But the Mustangs' 3-1 loss to rival San Ramon Valley opened the door for the Spartans (14-6-3, 11-3-0 EBAL), who got a goal and two assists from Nick Mitchell to beat the Grizzlies 3-0 and leapfrog into first place. California finished the year at 8-11-4 overall and 3-9-2 in the EBAL.
De La Salle's victory should earn it another high seed for the North Coast Section Division I playoffs, which begin next week. The Spartans have won five straight section titles.
"We weren't focusing on the result of the MV game and the coaches had us focusing on our game," Mitchell said. "The result is awesome but we have a long road ahead."
Alex Raymond got San Ramon Valley (15-7-1, 9-4-1) on the board with a goal in the 10th minute, but Monte Vista (17-3-2, 10-3-1) responded five minutes later with a Reid Gratsch goal.
But a goal by Andrew Evans on Kalle Sjorgell's corner kick gave the Wolves a 2-1 lead in the 18th minute. Casey McSunas scored in the 57th minute to give San Ramon Valley a 3-1 lead.
"It feels really good for the team to come together after all the adversity we've been through this year," Evans said. "We probably deserve a middle seed in the playoffs, because we have a few losses, but we know our potential and we are confident going into NCS."

OK, it's all over now. Can we all be just Americans from here on out? All of us, together. Something was said in the last election. Americans spoke out and proved something this time around. We're not stupid anymore.
There is something more powerful than money and the big Nazi lie financed by a few men with heavy wallets. We, all of us, have realized that we don't and won't be duped by big money anymore.
Americans are more important, all Americans, every American, and those without money have something far more powerful than the 1 percent with money. It's called the vote. Just one vote per one American.
And reality has now struck to the core of those who think that money is everything, that money makes you elite for some inane, stupid, ridiculous reason. It doesn't, and you're not.
Money means you can buy more stuff, more junk, more lies, but it's pretty obvious that money can't buy you even one vote when you're thinking only about yourself. Live in your own world, assuredly, but when it comes down to it, you're going to have to at least deal with reality now.
What's going to change? Just about everything. Maybe for the first time in this country's history, the Constitution will actually mean something. Maybe the Supreme Court will have 52 percent women on it. Is that a bad thing? No, it's an American thing. It's called representation, and hopefully it will spread to maybe even the Congress, and maybe every federal government body, and position in this country.
It might even trickle down into the state legislatures, and locally. But it's coming, and about time.
ho does this actually hurt? Not a damn person, not one American, and that is the truth, and reality.
Who will cry and whine like little children at the tops of their lungs, pounding their fists on their very expensive desks? I think all of us know who you are: the same people who have said recently that corporations deserve to vote too; that you can try to influence elections with money, let's say even a billion dollars' worth, and you don't have to say who you are and are allowed to construct the biggest lie you can.
Yeah, those people. The same ones that say out loud to every woman in this country that in his opinion God sanctions rape, and that's OK because even though he isn't a woman, he states that woman can magically prevent pregnancy after they've been raped if they want to. That insane reality doesn't exist anymore.
This same guy's brother who says who states that "greed is good," that people of color are less than they are, that tries with money and political influence to prevent all of us from voting, that gives out no-bid contracts, that says our troops are aren't entitled to everything we can give them when they spill their blood for our country - he, too, will have to live in this new reality.
This same guy's cousin who won't give you affordable health care, who sends American jobs out of the country for "profit," who turns a deaf ear to the agony of the masses because he won't make a buck off your suffering. ... Yeah that guy. You'll hear him crying when his golden binki slips out of his mouth.
And finally the realization will come that their money really doesn't matter, that it's wrong to spit on others, that they really don't need every damn penny in the world, that they should actually pay their fair share because they can.
Then it will finally hit them right between the eyes: "Oh my God, all of us are Americans," and should be. That's the new reality, buddy. Stick that in your craw and chew on it.

Stop frying eggs, Death Valley officials say
Published: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 7:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 7:36 a.m.
DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) — It gets so hot in Death Valley that you can fry an egg with sun power.
That's what one Death Valley National Park employee did last week, when she took a frying pan to the pavement and posted the video online.
Park visitors park were quick to imitate her, but they didn't use skillets and left gooey messes. The park then issued a plea on its Facebook page to crack down on the egg-frying fiasco.
Death Valley highs have been hovering around 120 degrees, and on Wednesday the park marked the 100th anniversary of the world's hottest day on record — 134 degrees — set there in 1913.
Park rangers say the egg frying has since stopped due to rain and clouds that have rolled across Death Valley.

About the Book
"Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power."
—New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas
Readers of Lisa Kleypas and Eloisa James who have not yet experienced the exceptional historical romance of Katharine Ashe are missing out on something truly special. Named one of the "New Stars of Historical Romance" by the American Library Association, Katharine continues her sensational Regency Era-set Falcon Club series by exploring How a Lady Weds a Rogue—romantically uniting a man determined to be bad and a woman who is sure that he's her perfect hero. Seduction has never been more perilous—or pleasurable—than it is in this unforgettable historical romance winner from an author who brilliantly combines the wit of Eloisa James, the romantic adventure of Johanna Lindsey, and the amazing sensuality of Lisa Kleypas. As bestselling romance author Sabrina Jeffries promises, "You'll be swept away" by the novels of Katharine Ashe.
Gentleman's Rule #1: If a lady is virtuous, he should deny her nothing.
Beautiful Diantha Lucas understands society's rules: a young lady must find a man to marry. But Diantha has a bigger goal, and she's not afraid of plunging into adventure to achieve it. When daring, dashing Wyn Yale rescues her, she's certain he's just the man she needs.
As an agent for the secret Falcon Club, Wyn knows his duty, but he's not about to admit he's a hero of any sort. He has a plan, too: steal a prized horse, murder an evil duke, avenge an innocent girl, and probably get hanged for it—in that order. Wyn can't afford to be distracted by a pretty face, even one with delectable dimples and kissable lips. But how can a country miss and a hardened spy solve their problems when they can't keep their hands off each other?

The lawn of the Michigan State Capitol was flooded with pills Tuesday, as the Michigan Pharmacists Association accepted unused, unwanted or expired medications.
And the results were big. The event turned up 589 pounds of drugs, worth more than $1 million.
"We're delighted that that level of drugs has not reached the street in other methods and in other ways. That's our main effort," said Jim Bock of the Michigan Pharmacists Association.
"You find out that five milligrams isn't going to do it and you've had the prescription for 90 days worth and so suddenly that drug is not of any value to you and so you hang on to it and how can you dispose of it?" said Ronald Melaragni, of Sparrow Plus Pharmacies. "And that's what this function and others can help us with."
And Melaragni says it's important to get the word about because there's been a change in protocol for disposing of drugs.
"Meds are a lot more complicated than they were 40 years ago," he said. "There's a lot of really exotic things going on in chemistry that weren't available 40 years ago and the impact on the environment has proven to be somewhat disastrous."
Lansing Chief Operating Officer Chad Gamble says he was always taught to flush leftover prescriptions down the toilet so they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
"Well we now know after working with the EPA, DEQ and other sampling jobs, we know that those can get into the waste stream because the waste water treatment plant is not designed and cannot possibly remove all the contaminants that come into it in the form of pharmaceuticals," he said.
The DEQ says there is evidence of pharmaceuticals in the state's water, but as of now the levels are low and there is no known health risk.
Gamble says Lansing's drinking water is not at issue. That water comes from aquifers below the city, which naturally purify water as it trickles below ground. The water in the rivers however goes through the waste water treatment plant. Gamble says the plant meets all federal regulations but it's impossible to filter out the pharmaceuticals.
"A lot of people don't realize these are persistent chemicals," said Dan Wyant, director of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. "They don't break down, these drugs, and they do end up in our water."
The Medication Disposal Event is in its fourth year. More than 1,500 pounds of medication had been collected over the last three years, totaling $1.6 million. The drugs collected today were incinerated.
Ingham County is working on a plan with local pharmacies that would allow people to return their unused medications at certain locations all year long. That plan should be rolled out October 1.

What Is A Payday Loan? Find Out Here!
Anyone who has a payday loan right now is probably hoping to repay it quickly. You also probably want to make sure that you do not have to take out another one unless you have to. Or, maybe you've never taken a loan out before and just want to learn about the subject. Regardless of circumstance, by reading these pages you gain a certain amount of understanding for this particular economic standpoint.
Do not just get your bridge loan from the first payday loan service that you come across. Check around a bit so you know if other have rates that might be lower. With a bit of research, hundreds can be saved.
There are state laws, and regulations that specifically cover payday loans. Often these companies have found ways to work around them legally. If you do sign up for a payday loan, do not think that you will be able to get out of it without paying it off in full.
Consider how much you honestly need the money that you are considering borrowing. If it is something that could wait until you have the money to buy, put it off. You will likely find that payday loans are not an affordable option to buy a big TV for a football game. Limit your borrowing through these lenders to emergency situations.
Be aware of the deceiving rates you are presented. It may seem to be affordable and acceptable to be charged fifteen dollars for each one-hundred you borrow, but it will quickly add up. The rates will translate to be about 390 percent of the amount borrowed. Know exactly how much you will be required to pay in fees and interest up front.
Read the fine print in any payday loan you are considering. Often these are made by predatory lenders that have no intention of following through. They make their money by giving loans to poor borrowers that have a small chance of repaying on time. In most cases, guarantees made by a payday lender contains disclaimer language that significantly reduces the value of these guarantees.
Do not use the services of a payday loan company unless you have exhausted all of your other options. When you do take out the loan, make sure you will have money available to pay back the loan when it is due, otherwise you may end up paying extremely high interest and fees.
Always read all the terms and conditions involved in a payday loan. Identify every point of interest rate, what every possible fee is and how much each one is. You want an emergency bridge loan to get you from your current circumstances back to on your feet, but it is easy for these situations to snowball over several paychecks.
The most important tip when taking out a payday loan is to only borrow what you can pay back. Interest rates with payday loans are crazy high, and if you take out more than you can re-pay by the due date, you will be paying a great deal in interest fees.
If an emergency has arrived, and you had to utilize the services of a payday lender, be sure to repay the payday loans as quickly as you can. A lot of individuals get themselves in an even worse financial bind by not repaying the loan in a timely manner. No only these loans have a highest annual percentage rate. They also have expensive additional fees that you will end up paying if you do not repay the loan on time.
Demand an open communication channel with your lender. If your payday loan lender makes it seem nearly impossible to discuss your loan with a human being, then you may be in a bad business deal. Respectable companies don't operate in this way. They have an open line of communication where you can ask questions, and receive feedback.
If you are having issues paying back your payday loan, let the lender know as soon as possible. These lenders are used to this situation. They can work with you to develop an ongoing payment option. If, instead, you ignore the lender, you will find yourself in collections before you know it.
This article can help you be a more informed consumer and make wiser financial decisions. With any luck, using these tips can help you handle a payday loan then you would've alone. Keep all this knowledge in your mind for the future.
Top Tips For Getting Good Home Mortgages
If you're wondering what it takes to end up with the right mortgage loan, then you just need some advice to help get you going in the right direction. This article will help you with that, detailing what is needed for you to get a mortgage that works with your finances. Make sure you pay attention to the following advice.
Get your documents ready before you go to a mortgage lender. You should have an idea of the documents they will require, and if you don't, you can ask ahead of time. Most mortgage lenders will want the same documents, so keep them together in a file folder or a neat stack.
If a 20% down payment is out of your league, do some shopping around. Different banks will have different offers for you to consider. Terms and rates will vary at each, some will give a lower downpayment, but a slightly higher interest rate. Look for the best mix for your current situation.
Have at least 20 percent of the purchase price saved. Lenders will want to verify that you have not borrowed the money, so it is important that you save the money and show deposits into your checking or savings account. Down payments cannot be borrowed; thus it is important to show a paper trail of deposits.
Know how much you can afford to put towards your home mortgage. Do not rely on the lender to tell you the amount you qualify for, causing you to borrow the maximum amount. Try planning your budget and leaving some room for unexpected expenses. This is usually the case when you buy a home. You can use banking calculators to determine how much you can afford on a home and provide an estimate of the monthly mortgage payments.
If you find that your home's value has sunk below the amount you still have left on the mortgage, and have unsuccessfully tried to refinance in the past, give it another try. The HARP federal initiative allows for refinancing, even if you owe more than your home is worth. Speak to a lender now since many are open to Harp refinance options. If your lender does not want to work on this with you, look elsewhere.
Make sure you look at multiple mortgage lenders before settling on one. You definitely need to do some comparison shopping. There are a lot of different mortgage rates and deals out there, so stopping at just one could really mean wasting thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage.
Keep your job. Lenders look into many aspects of your financial situation and one very important aspect is your employment income. Stability is very important to lenders. Avoid moving jobs or relocating for as long as possible before you apply for a home mortgage. This will show them that you are stable.
Be sure to keep all payments current when you are in the process of getting a mortgage loan. If you are in the middle of the loan approval process and there is some indication that you have been delinquent with any payments, it may affect your loan status in a negative way.
Consider having an escrow account tied to your loan. By including your property taxes and homeowners insurance into your loan, you can avoid large lump sum payments yearly. Including these two items in your mortgage will slightly raise the monthly payment; however, most people can afford this more than making a yearly tax and insurance payment.
Consider a mortgage broker for financing. They may not be as simple as your local bank, but they usually have a larger range of available loans. Mortgage brokers often work with numerous lenders. This allows them to personalize your loan to you more readily than a bank or other finance provider.
Shop around when looking for a mortgage. Be certain that you shop various lenders. However, also make sure that you shop around among a number of brokers too. Doing both is the only way to make sure that you are scoring your best possible deal. Aim for comparing three to five of each.
Rebuild or repair your credit before shopping for a home mortgage. A good credit history and credit score qualifies you for a better interest rate. It is also frustrating to find the perfect house but not qualify for the loan you need. Taking the time to fix your credit before buying a house will save you money in the long run.
There are a world of many mortgage companies out there vying for your business. It is you that has the power for any of them to put you in the right mortgage vehicle. So, don't let yourself be persuaded into something you don't want; instead, find a mortgage that fits your needs today.
Great Tips For Using Credit Cards The Right Way
You may have avoided credit cards because you have heard that they can get people into trouble or that responsible financial management means never using a credit card. However, if you use credit cards properly, you can boost your credit score, so you don't want to avoid credit cards out of fear. Read on to learn how to use credit cards appropriately.
Only if you regularly shop at a certain store should you think about applying for a store credit card. When a retail store inquires about your credit prior to opening an account, that inquiry is recorded on your report whether you go through with opening a card or not. An excessive amount of inquiries from retail stores on your credit report can actually lower your credit score.
If possible, pay your credit cards in full, every month. Use them for normal expenses, such as, gasoline and groceries and then, proceed to pay off the balance at the end of the month. This will build your credit and help you to gain rewards from your card, without accruing interest or sending you into debt.
Check your credit report regularly. By law, you are allowed to check your credit score once a year from the three major credit agencies. This may be often enough, if you use credit sparingly and always pay on time. You may want to spend the extra money, and check more often if you carry a lot of credit card debt.
If you have a credit card with high interest you should consider transferring the balance. Many credit card companies offer special rates, including 0% interest, when you transfer your balance to their credit card. Do the math to figure out if this is beneficial to you before you make the decision to transfer balances.
Make a realistic budget plan. Even though you have a credit card limit your company has provided you, you shouldn't max it out. A solid budget lets you stay on top of how much you can afford to pay each month to eliminate your balance and avoid interest charges.
If you have several credit cards with balances on each, consider transferring all of your balances to one, lower-interest credit card. Almost everyone gets mail from various banks offering low or even zero balance credit cards if you transfer your current balances. These lower interest rates usually last for 6 months or a year. You can save a lot of interest and have one lower payment each month!
Do not make purchases with your credit card for things that you can not afford. Credit cards are for things that you purchase regularly or that fit into your budget. Making grandiose purchases with your credit card will make that item cost you a great deal more over time and will put you at risk for default.
Always know who you are dealing with and make sure they are legitimate companies when you give out your credit card information online. Call the company to be sure they are still in business, and never buy from a store that has no street address listed.
If you are going to make purchases over the Internet you need to make all of them with the same credit card. You do not want to use all of your cards to make online purchases because that will increase the chances of you becoming a victim of credit card fraud.
Don't think that interest rates they offer you are written in stone and cannot be changed. The industry that runs credit cards are competing all the time, so they always have various interest rates. If you think your rate is too high, you can often call the issuing bank and request that they change it.
If you have bad credit, think about getting a credit card that is secured. A secured card will ensure that you do not spend above your limit. In essence, you are borrowing your own money and paying interest for the privilege. It is probably not the most appealing option in the world but sometimes you have to do this to repair a poor credit score. Stick with reputable companies when applying for a secured card. They will be in a position to offer you a regular, unsecured credit card in the future, and you can further improve your credit by using it responsibly.
It is important to keep your credit card number safe; therefore, do not give your credit information out online or on the phone unless you completely trust the company. If you receive an offer that is unsolicited and asks for the card number, be even more cautious. Many scammers all over the world would love to get your credit card information. Protect yourself by being cautious and staying diligent.
Shop different credit cards before applying to find out the perks each offers. Some offer roadside assistance, while others offer airline perks, like free baggage check. Some will also offer buyer protections, above and beyond what a store offers. Depending on your buying habits, one credit card may offer perks that fit you best.
As you can now see, you've been doing yourself a disservice all these years by avoiding credit cards. Used correctly, credit cards aid your credit score and make it more likely that you will be able to get that mortgage or car loan you need. Use the tips that you have just read, in order to help you pick the best credit card for your needs.
Duties of a Brampton Criminal Defense Lawyer
Lack of information is one of the main reasons why people charged with criminal offenses are often unable to find the support they need in court. While a criminal defense attorney may provide you with good services, at times, you need much more in order to achieve the results necessary for having your charges dropped or obtaining a sentence that won't be so harsh.
Criteria for Selecting a Reliable Attorney
There are a few important factors that would determine just how good a criminal defense lawyer is at dealing with various cases, especially those that require utmost care and attention. Even though Brampton is one of the places in Ontario that are home to some of the most reputable criminal lawyers in Canada, you still need to be careful about who you hire as your representative in court.
Here are a few guidelines that may be able to help you in choosing the best criminal defense lawyers:
- First of all, make sure that the lawyer you want to select is actually a criminal defense specialist. Attorneys who jump from criminal defense to divorce or personal injury cases may lack the necessary skill and experience required to properly handle your case.
- Avoid choosing an attorney who can't properly explain your rights, the charges brought against you and the options that the prosecution has for bringing about a sentence against you. A good attorney needs has to be able to explain all the details of the case in terms that you will understand and work together with you for the purpose of countering your charges.
- Professional conduct is also essential for achieving best results. Don't hire a lawyer who has been known to ignore his client's calls and emails or who may be absent for long periods without notifying you of when he can resume working on your case.
Online lawyer directories and review sites will often have trustworthy testimonials from clients who have worked together with the listed attorneys in the past, and may be able to shed some light on the approaches used by the lawyers in question and on how they treat their clients.
Advisory Duties and Practice Areas
The first service that a reliable Brampton criminal attorney will provide you with is a free consultation, generally involving a 30 minute talk, during which you can present your case and ask for advice on how to deal with it, as well as a presentation of the services the lawyer may be able to offer you.
Criminal defense lawyers in Brampton usually cover cases involving DUI charges, weapon charges, robbery, criminal appeals, drug abuse, sexual interference and assault and murder.
It is also worth mentioning that many of the attorneys operating in the Brampton area have more than 20 years of experience as criminal lawyers, particularly those who deal with protecting the rights of people facing DUI and traffic violation charges, which are the basis for some of the most difficult trials in Ontario. So, when charged with impaired driving, you can definitely rely on the experienced DUI lawyers in Brampton.
Most lawyers here have a spotless reputation in handling some of the toughest criminal cases, and present an extremely determined attitude geared to helping them achieve a better outcome for their clients even if the forecast doesn't look too good.
Having Financial Issues? Have You Considered Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy comes with so many ups and downs, so many emotions and so many complications. To help sort it all out for you, the following article contains numerous helpful tips. With all that you have to worry about with a pending filing for personal bankruptcy, the process itself and how to work your way through it should not be one of them.
One you realize you are in financial trouble and have decided to file for personal bankruptcy you should move quickly. Waiting to the last minute to file bankruptcy can cause a number of issues. You may face negative repercussions such as wage or bank account garnishment or foreclosure on your home. You can also not leave time enough for a thorough review of your financial situation, which will limit your available options.
Having A Hard Time Fixing Your Credit? Try Out These Tips!
The most annoying thing you may experience in life is having bad credit, because it leads to hardships. A bad credit score will make it hard for you to get a loan or apply for housing, among other things. That said, it is possible to restore your credit to its former glory and prevent it from being wrecked again.
Be sure that you pay all of your bills promptly if you are trying to fix a bad credit history. Don't leave them until the last minute. Set up a schedule for when you pay your bills, and use some sort of reminder system to make sure that they all get paid on time.
Research the fine points of disputing items on your credit report. It can be done, but the process is not easy. Make sure to track and follow up regularly with all reported disputes. If you stop checking on them, they will stop working on them as well. It's your credit, so make sure it's correct!
Finding The Right Criminal Attorney
How To Find An Experienced Criminal Attorney
The steps in finding an experienced criminal attorney are very important because if you or a loved one has been accused of a criminal act, you do not want to retain just any attorney. Begin by browsing the Internet in your local area, and type into the browser, "Criminal Defense Attorney Denver" or where ever you live for the last word in that search term.
You will undoubtedly get a return of many attorneys and law firms. Eliminate the law practices that list all kinds of different areas of law that they practice in addition to criminal law, because you want your attorney to be an expert in one thing only, and that is criminal law. You do not want a jack-of-all-trades, you need a specialist. It would be like a situation where if you needed to have a heart transplant; you would not go to a foot doctor for that procedure.
The one quality that you are looking for is experience in defending people like you. Even though your situation may be unique to you, it is possible that an experienced lawyer in criminal law has defended hundreds of cases just like yours. You need to find all of this information out by asking questions.
Class Action Lawsuits
Increased Chances to Fight Injustice
The class action lawsuits are the best illustration of the saying "the power stays in the number". A single person can file the court action in the name of a group, whose members suffered the same prejudice, even if the material loss is not of the same size.
General Information on the Class Action Lawsuits
According to the stipulations of the Federal Rules dealing with Civil Procedure (chapter 23), four requirements must be fulfilled in order to declare a court action of this type as valid.
- A common cause – Every member of the group of plaintiffs, also known as class, must have suffered the same kind of prejudice, caused by the same defendant. Also, the actions that harmed the interests of the plaintiffs must fall under the incidence of the same law.
- Representativeness or typicality – It refers mainly to the person who files the action and it stipulates that he or she must suffer each of the prejudices claimed by the whole group or class.
Calgary Criminal Defense Lawyer
Selecting a Calgary Criminal Attorney who can Truly Help You
Calgary criminal lawyers are not always easy to find. While there may be a lot of good attorneys in every area of practice, finding some of the best can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can only find an attorney that can be depended on through a detailed selection process.
Finding Your Attorney Online
Despite the large number of criminal defense lawyers who advertise their services on the internet, finding a reputable one in Calgary is not easy.
Some attorneys have extensive profiles on various sites, as well as detailed information regarding their approach, practice areas and experience on their personal or official websites. Also, the testimonials written by their past clients can provide you with additional insight into their background and on how they deal with various critical situations.
In many cases, however, there's not much to go on, and not all skilled lawyers know how to market their services online. Nevertheless, you may find that one of the lesser known lawyers could be perfect for dealing with your case.

I'm using PMS 1.04 on Vista X64 (not as a service.. It's run from my Startup folder), connected to a PS3 running 2.60 firmware.
After a connection has been established with the PS3 (ie: PS3 Media Server shows up within the XMB), if I close down PMS the 'PS3 Media Server' entry remains on the XMB. If I restart PMS then I get another PS3 Media Server entry displayed. If I rescan for media servers on the PS3, then only a single (ie: the currently running) PMS entry is displayed, as I would expect.
I only found out about this when I'd been streaming from PMS to my PS3, then had to reboot my PC after installing something. My PS3 remained on, and showed two PS3 Media Server entries within the XMB.
It's almost like it's not properly closing down/unregistering the current DLNA connection when the PMS application is shut down.

News 12 This Morning / Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- He's 18 years old and already a published author.
Now, recent Lakeside High grad Jerry Wright says he's already working on his second novel.
The book is called "The Basement: Part one of the Sickness trilogy." It's something Wright worked on for three years and says seeing his book in print is a feeling he can't explain.
"It's crazy because I never planned on publishing it when I first wrote it," Wright said.
He started out just writing chapters and uploading them onto the Internet his freshman year of high school.
"I used to upload it to this site and just let other people read it. I got some good reviews and some bad reviews. They told me what they didn't like, what they did like," Wright said.
When his father saw the forums, he encouraged him to just write the book.
"What I saw happening was he would write it on a forum and he would send me a link to the forum and I would go there and the one thing that people kept saying was, 'When are you going to write some more to it?' 'I wanna see more,' 'What's gonna happen next?' 'What's gonna happen next?' So he had written so much of it by this time I said, 'Hey look you got enough on there now, why not just go ahead and finish the story?'" said his father.
The book deals with mature subject matter, including murder and rape.
"I wasn't afraid to push the envelope in this book," Wright said.
It's something that shocked his father at first, but now has a message of its own.
"I think it helps get the story out about that. That people don't need to be afraid to talk about it because if you have an 18-year-old who can write a book about it, people shouldn't be afraid to speak up about it," said his father.
The book is available on Amazon and Kindle and is already selling copies.
"[It's] humbling," Wright said. "Because you don't have to read my book. I'm not something special, I'm not one of them famous authors that you follow along, but people are actually reading it and the better part is that they are actually enjoying it."
Wright enlisted in the military on Monday. He will ship out in February but plans to continue writing. He is already working on part two of the trilogy.
If you want to buy the book or just find out more about it, click here.
Again, just a reminder, this book does deal with more mature topics, so it is for older audiences.

LOS ANGELES -- Warriors coach Mark Jackson said it didn't matter that friend and former broadcasting partner Jeff Van Gundy voiced support for a contract extension during the telecast of the playoff opener.
Jackson said Sunday he doesn't listen to the chatter about his job status that persists despite the Warriors' completing a 51-win regular season and continuing to win in the postseason.
Jackson's players, meanwhile, have heard the rumblings and are rallying together to help change the tone of the national conversation. Their latest example of such was a 109-105 victory Saturday in Game 1 of a first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Warriors' Andre Iguodala said after the win that he heard an ESPN report that Jackson "is going to be gone."
"We're trying to save our coach," Iguodala said. "Every game is pressure for us."
Stephen Curry supported the notion that the Warriors have taken it upon themselves as players to take care of business in the playoffs so that talk about Jackson's job security would subside.
"It was more the message along those lines that we as players can control the vibe of what's going on," Curry said before practice at UCLA. "If we're losing and not playing the way we're supposed to, obviously people will start looking for answers and the head coach will get most of that blame. But if we go out and play 100 percent every night, take advantage of every opportunity out in front of us, there's nothing they can say about it."
On the eve of Game 2 at Staples Center, Curry was among a majority of Warriors players who attended Easter service at Jackson's Southern California church and heard their coach preach. Curry said doing so helped team unity and that Jackson's faith has allowed the coach to keep perspective.
"All the while, we're just trying to win, and our record's gotten better every year," Curry said. "That's the standard of good coaching to me. I don't know what else you'd want from him. It's just kind of unfortunate that that's the tone that this season has taken when he's done so much good.
"He's been able to deal with all this negative talk and criticism ... for so long this season because of where his focus is and where his faith's at, so I think that's huge."
Said Jackson: "Like I said before, I'm going to be fine. It's going to turn out fine."
While the Warriors were all smiles with the pressure on the Clippers to win Game 2 before the best-of-seven series shifted to Oracle Arena, Clippers coach Doc Rivers spoke of his team needing to better execute defensive coverages that broke down in Game 1.
Although Curry was limited to 14 points while giving up the ball on double-teams, David Lee and Klay Thompson were able to capitalize on their high-percentage shots.
"They're going to make adjustments, but we're going to make adjustments, too," Jackson said.
Clippers players stopped short of calling Monday's game a must-win.
"We feel like it's not a team you're going to sweep, obviously," Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said. "You know, they're a good team. They won 50-plus games (as a team) in the Western Conference."
But Rivers, who said he needed to coach better, pointed to just how important Game 2 was to his team.
"I think we all know we didn't play that well," Rivers said. "And Golden State played well, but they can play better, too. And we have to be prepared for them to play a lot better for us to win the game.
"We need to win. There's no doubt about it. You don't want to go down 0-2 going to Golden State. There's no doubt about that."

Dr. Janet Mihuc from Paul Smith's College is looking to engage the public in a new citizen science project to collect sightings of giant silkmoths in northern New York.
Mihuc says the moths are large and charismatic, making them a curiosity for most people. With new technology like smartphones, reporting is even easier. Just snap a photo and use an app to upload it to the project site.
Mihuc says because the moths are in decline, getting baseline data is important to understanding changes in moth populations.

The motion was made by Elmo's Al Hewankorn and included a 5% cut in Council salaries, and exclusion of entry-level wages. A week later, however, following a presentation by Executive Treasurer Vern Clairmont to the Administration Committee, the wage freeze was rescinded. The money saved, the Council decided, wouldn't make that great a dent in the budget after all Clairmont explained that at any given time, there are 500 people or more employed by the Tribes. Money to pay most of these comes from contracts and grants; no Tribal dollars are involved. About 160 employees work for Tribal programs and enterprises, and in a broad category called "the main office". Wages for many of these are recoverable through indirect funds: a small percent of each contract and grant is paid to the Tribes to cover administrative costs. Some, too, are paid with revenue sharing dollars. Wading through a page of figures, the councilmen decided that (in the words of Vic Stinger), "It needs a little more thought". During the discussion, an interesting "reverse auction" took place. Stinger, perhaps thinking a 5% cut was too small, suggested retroceding from last year's 11.7% cost-of-living increase. Noel Pichette and E.W. Mori-geau went a step further when they proposed, "Why not go for $50 a meeting?"

Florida Can't Intervene Yet For Residents of an Insolvent Retirement Community
Published: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 2:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 12, 2013 at 2:00 a.m.
A three-judge panel says state regulators cannot intervene to protect residents of an insolvent continuing care retirement community, at least for now.
The 1st District Court of Appeal panel ruled Friday in Tallahassee in the case of a retirement community with about 385 residents in Palm Beach Gardens.
It is collectively owned by Devonshire at PGA National, Chatworth at PGA National LLC and Chatworth PGA Properties LLC.
The panel reversed a trial judge who ruled regulators could intervene and act as a receiver after the owners defaulted on a $158.2 million mortgage loan.
The appellate judges ruled state intervention is barred because the lender signed an agreement promising to protect the residents' interests.
The panel added that the state still can step in by showing residents are not being protected.

Is it even possible? or is this simply web content which will ONLY be available to people running on the new platform?
Of course, you are conveniently overlooking the fact that designer tools are already being developed by Microsoft, and that there are already existing tools (Zam3D, and others) that exist.

And all that being said..... how about some downloadage scoble!
*nag nag*
WMP keeps giving me errors when I try to stream a video. It says the protocol isn't supported
Ugh, is the whole thing available somewhere in the Internet? In a form of a XAML website, or whatever?

SAN JOSE -- A new Bass Pro Shops retail and entertainment center planned for San Jose is likely to become a destination that could draw visitors from a wide area into the South Bay -- and create hundreds of new jobs -- the company and experts said Tuesday.
About 275 jobs will accompany the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World store that is due to open in 2015 at a shopping center planned for the northeast corner of Interstate 85 and Almaden Expressway.
The company's Outdoor World store will feature a showroom for fishing boats, and will sell hunting, fishing and outdoor gear.
The Bass Pro Shops outlet also will feature a bowling alley with an underwater theme intended to make people to feel as if they are on the ocean floor.
"This is going to be great family fun," said Katie Mitchell, a spokeswoman for Bass Pro Shops. "Dining, gifts, toys for kids, home accessories and decorating, entertainment, dining, stuff for outdoors activities from camping to fishing to kayaking, a huge boat center."
Casual family dining will be available in the Uncle Buck's Fishbowl and Grill restaurant. Customers will be able to select from a menu featuring a variety of appetizers, sandwiches, salads and burgers.
The 145,000-square-foot store will be the anchor of the 350,000-square-foot Almaden Ranch complex.
Word of the new Bass Pro Shops was welcomed by San Jose officials.
"This store will be a big draw," said Kim Walesh, San Jose's city economic development director. "It is unique in California. A Bass Pro Shop will be a very good fit for our market. This area is very much oriented to the outdoors and recreation."
San Jose officials are eager for new retail establishments because they think the city has too few for its size.
"San Jose has 20 percent less retail than what you would expect given our population and income levels," Walesh said. "Those tax and sales dollars are going elsewhere. Consumers are having to drive elsewhere to shop, which has economic, environmental and quality-of-life impacts."
Retail experts believe the store will be a magnet for visitors from a great distance.
"This is like a whole-day experience," said David Taxin, a partner with Meacham/Oppenheimer, a San Jose-based commercial realty brokerage that specializes in the retail sector. "This is a real destination."
Missouri-based Bass Pro Shops said about 250 to 300 permanent employees will work at the store. In addition, many seasonal employees will be hired for special events, including the Christmas shopping season.
Bass Pro Shops said it believes San Jose will be a perfect market for the company.
"San Jose is the third-largest city in California," Mitchell said. "And California has the third-most resident angler licenses in the nation."
About 120 million customers a year visit the 77 existing Bass Pro Shops, which are located in 26 states and Canada. The other California stores are in Manteca and Rancho Cucamonga. Each store has about 2 million visitors annually.

Should We Intervene to Save Isle Royale National Park Wolves?
On a wild, remote island in Lake Superior called Isle Royale, gray wolves have lived and thrived for more than 60 years. In the forests on this island — which encompasses the majority of Michigan's Isle Royale National Park — a wolf population that grew to almost 50 individuals once contributed to a biodiverse, healthy ecosystem.
In recent years, however, the number of wolves on Isle Royale has plummeted. In 2009, scientists from the Wolves and Moose of Isle Royale project — begun in 1958 and now the longest continuous study of a predator-prey system in the world — documented only 24 wolves living on the island. As of February 2014, that number had dwindled to nine — the second lowest total for the island ever recorded.
Some blame climate change for the decrease. Others say it is just the natural order of things for species to come and go in a particular area. But whatever the cause, the question for the future health of the island and the park is: should we intervene to save Isle Royale's wolves?

The violin that was played as the Titanic infamously sank on its maiden voyage in 1912 has been proven by researchers to be authentic after years of studies.
The Belfast Telegraph reports on the discovery of the fabled violin, and how it got handed down over the decades since the Titanic's sinking.
In 2006, the violin was discovered in an attic before being presented to Titanic historians, researchers and auctioneers.
Initially, the discovery was thought to be too good to be true, but after seven years of testing at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars, researchers are able to definitively say that the relic was indeed played by bandmaster Wallace Hartley aboard the sinking Titanic.
Said to now be worth somewhere around six figures, the violin is set to go on public display at Belfast City Hall, near to where the Titanic was built in Northern Ireland, at the end of March.
Described by Titanic experts as the most important artifact to come from the disaster, negotiations are also in process to bring the violin to exhibitions around the world including the US. However, it is likely to be auctioned off in the future.
Almost all modern accounts in either film or book of the sinking of the Titanic include the story of Wallace Hartley and his band who were summoned within moments of the ship's collision with an iceberg to play music on deck to keep passengers calm.
Hartley and his band played until the very final moments of the ship's sinking, famously closing out with the hymn 'Nearer, My God, To Thee.' Hartley and the seven members of his band perished in the tragedy along with another 1500 passengers aboard the Titanic.
As tests were conducted on the violin discovered in 2006, specialist Titanic auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son, and a biographer on Wallace Hartley, meticulously researched the story behind it to discover the actual history of the violin.
The research came to discover that Hartley had actually strapped around him his large leather valise - luggage case - in which he placed his violin moments before the sinking. It's presumed that Hartley did so in order to help keep him afloat.
Further aiding in their research, the transcript of a telegram sent to the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia dated July 19, 1912 was found in the diary of Hartley's grieving fiance, Maria Robinson.
It read, "I would be most grateful if you could convey my heartfelt thanks to all who have made possible the return of my late fiance's violin."
Robinson had given Hartley the violin as a marker for their engagement in 1910 and had it inscribed, 'For Wallace on the occasion of our engagement from Maria,' which would later serve as an integral piece in the research of the history of the violin.
Robinson had requested the return of the violin because of its emotional value. Some other of Hartley's recovered possessions - including his silver cigarette case and a gold signet ring - were returned to his his father, Albion Hartley, who later gave them to Robinson.
Robinson, who never went on to marry, kept the jewelry and violin in the leather case as a shrine to her late fiance. In 1939, she died from stomach cancer aged 59 at her home in Bridlington, East Yorks.
After Maria Robinson's death, her sister Margaret, in dealing with the estate left behind, discovered Hartley's leather valise that had his initials of 'WHH' on the violin inside.
She turned the Titanic relics over to the Bridlington Salvation Army and told its leader, Major Renwick, about the instrument's association with Titanic. Research shows Major Renwick gave the valise to one of his members, a local music and violin teacher.
The current owner, who remains unnamed, was a member of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force stationed at Bridlington in the early 1940s.
She received it from the music teacher along with a cover letter reading, "Major Renwick thought I would be best placed to make use of the violin but I found it virtually unplayable, doubtless due to its eventful life."
Years later, she contacted Henry Aldridge and Son of Devizes, Wilts about the items.
They took the violin to the Government's Forensic Science Service in Chepstow which concluded the 'corrosion deposits' on it were 'considered compatible with immersion in seawater.'
Further helping prove its own history, the plate on the base of the violin was studied by an eminent silver expert on the council for the Gemological Association of Great Britain. The expert was able to confirm that the plate was an original fixture and the engraving was contemporary with those made in 1910.
Andrew Aldridge, of Henry Aldridge and Son, said: "When we first saw the violin we had to keep a lid on our excitement because it was almost as if it was too good to be true."
