Kraig, one of the inductees to the Radio Hall of Fame, was the promotion executive behind several of Alan's hits. He stepped down as VP/Promotion of the Arista Nashville label in 2005 due to health reasons. Alan took the stage unannounced after Kraig made his acceptance speech. "I always liked Bobby," said Alan. "He's been very good to me over the years." Alan then played the first No. 1 record that Kraig promoted for Alan, "Chattahoochee." He followed that with a touching version of "Remember When" and the title track from his latest album, Good Time. Charlie Daniels was also honored at the ceremony, receiving the prestigious Career Achievement Award. Inducted into the DJ Hall of Fame were GAC host and WSM-AM Nashville radio personality Bill Cody and Bob Robbins of KSSN in Little Rock, Ark. Media consultant Jaye Albright and radio executive Michael Owens, the son of country legend Buck Owens, were named to the Radio Hall of Fame along with Kraig.

Comments about Grab & Go Stroller Organizer - Black:
This stroller organizer is great! It has a good amount of room for bottles/cups and odds and ends, yet the organizer itself is not bulky at all. The material is durable. The zip-off pouch is a really nice extra feature. It's compatible with different stroller models and is easy to take on/off. I use it on my son's standard size and travel strollers. My only regret is that I didn't buy this organizer sooner. Thanks Skip Hop for another great product!

This works great with my Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller. It straps on tight and doesn't move around. I like the convenience of the zip-off pouch for carrying keys, money, etc... I've run with two iced coffees in the beverage compartments and no spillage plus they stayed cold!

March 15th, 2005, 08:51 PM
I am very new to archery but really enjoy it, so if my question is lame please go easy on me. I bought a used bow (PSE Baby G) and did what I could to dress it up. I put on Winners Choice cables and string and a 3/4 whisker biscuit. I bought 1/2 dozen Vital Impact 400 grain carbon arrows. I used gift certificates that I had saved up at Sportsmans Warehouse to get me started. The warehouse boys were very nice and seemed knowledgeable enough to me so I can't complain about them personally. However, I am consistantly tearing the bottom vane off of my arrows. It doesn't happen all at once, just a little at a time. I've been back to the warehouse various times both with and without my bow and all they do is tell me that the glue on the vane must have been bad and they exchange my arrows. That seems all fine and dandy but it is getting old. Is this just something that I need to learn to live with because I am using a biscuit? Or is it something else? I'm not against going to another shop to see if they can help me tune it but I would kind of like to have an idea of what to expect before I go in. Also, I've already heard it all about how the Baby G isn't a good bow to learn on and it's hard to shoot, but I'm into this one and buying a new one isn't an option right now. So any suggestions that would help me would be great.

Any drug substance can be classified as either an acid or base because the drug substance possesses the ability to react with other, stronger acids or bases. As such, the drug substance also would possess the ability to exist as an ionic species when dissolved in suitable fluid media. Often, the state of ionization of a substance will profoundly affect its degree of aqueous solubility, as shown by the high solubility of sodium benzoate compared with the low solubility of benzoic acid. The utility of salt forms as active pharmaceutical ingredients is well known and represents one of the ways to increase the degree of solubility of an otherwise intractable substance (1–3) and bioavailability (4).
Historically, the process of selecting the most appropriate salt form of a drug substance has been approached in an empirical manner, where one prepares a large number of salts of the substance and then evaluates their qualities. Those products that exhibit acceptable degrees of aqueous solubility and dissolution rate, appropriate crystal form of low hygroscopicity, high melting point, good mechanical properties, and acceptable chemical stability become the chosen candidates for further development. This approach reached its epitome with the use of high-throughput screening methods, where substances are dispensed in 96-well plates and automated methods are used to set up the formation of multiple series of salts (5). Practically, the only restriction placed in these studies is that the salt-forming counterion must be one of the pharmaceutically acceptable species identified in compilations (1–3, 6).
Numerous attempts have been made to instill an intelligent design into the salt-selection process. Gould used a decision analysis process to develop a rational process of salt selection for basic drugs, where the course of the work was guided by the pivotal issues of melting point, solubility, and hydrophobicity (7). Morris et al. described a general method that was used to guide the salt selection of a drug candidate through consideration of hygroscopicity, physical stability, aqueous solubility, and chemical stability (8). The theoretical basis and application of in situ salt screening has been applied to monobasic and monoacidic substances (9) and extended to cover multibasic drugs in multiprotic acids (10). Procedures for salt selection and optimization have been reviewed, as have strategies for salt selection and optimization of salt forms (11–13). More recently, the use of a grid-based molecular modeling method for salt screening has been described (14).Over time, it has become very clear that the ability to prepare and isolate a salt form of a drug substance in its solid state, and the stability of that salt form with respect to disproportionation when dissolved in an aqueous solution, is fundamentally determined by the relative acidity or basicity of the drug substance and its salt-forming counterion. Valuable insight into the salt-formation process can be gleaned from an evaluation of the chemical equilibria associated with weak acids, bases, and their salts. Manipulation of equilibrium expressions yields useful relations that can be used to predict the ability of a salt form to exist, and such predictions can be used to focus a salt-selection process.
Ionic equilibria of acidic and basic substances
There are many definitions for acids and bases, but the 1923 definitions of J.N. Brønsted and T.M. Lowry are the most useful for discussions of ionic equilibria in aqueous systems. According to the Brønsted–Lowry model, an acid is a substance capable of donating a proton to another substance, such as water:
The acidic substance (HA) that originally donated the proton becomes the conjugate base (A– ) of that substance because the conjugate base could conceivably accept a proton from an even stronger acid than the original substance. The thermodynamic equilibrium constant expression for Equation 1 would be:

Materials, Colors, and Textures 4comments (6) June 27th, 2010 in blogs
Here is another example of texturing using an 18th Century mahogany bookcase, as shown below. This example has both vertical and horizontal grain components, so requires a different procedure from that used on the blanket chest shown in my previous blog post.
As stated previously, I prefer to not texture within the definition of a component. This means that I need to make textures that hopefully will not need rotation, movement, or editing in any other way.
Step 1:
For mahogany I prefer a chemical stain and filler along with a dark shellac French Polish. My first step is to take a picture of this finish on an existing piece of furniture.
Step 2
Create two rectangles - one for the largest face of vertical grain, and another for the largest face of horizontal grain as shown below. Import the mahogany texture into each of the rectangles. Since the picture was of horizontal grain only, I need to rotate the grain in the vertical rectangle.
Step 3
Right click on the texture of the vertical rectangle and select Texture/Position.
Step 4
Use the texture corner pins (primarily the green one) to rotate the grain to a vertical orientation.
Step 5
Right click on the vertical texture and pick Make Unique Texture from the pop-up menu. In the Materials dialog box, change the names of the two mahogany textures - one Mahogany Vertical, the other Mahogany Horizontal.
Step 6
Click on the vertical grain texture in the Materials dialog box and use the Paint Brush to click on all the vertical grain faces (no need to open the component for editing).
Step 7
Finish the texturing with the horizontal grain placement with the paint bucket.
Here is a picture of the finished piece in real mahogany…….
This completes my series on Materials, Colors, and Textures.

You are right about expanding the grain, but so far I haven't used grain structures that are noticeable or sensitive to this. I suppose larger photos would help, but is not always possible.
Posted: 12:00 am on July 1st
Good entry and a good way of creating textures.
Is there a reason that you create the texture on a separate piece of material instead of right on the component in the model. I do all the same steps but I do it right on the component.
How about scaling of the grain? One of my concerns is that as we stretch the material the grain etc is magnified. Is this just something that we live with or is there a way around it? One of my clients with an eagle eye noticed this...I played dead as is advised by your cohort.
I created several materials that I use and saved them into my own library.

Wonderful, thanks again for your work.
Posted: 8:56 am on June 30th
After you've imported the texture and it resides in your Materials dialog box, do either of the following:
Right click the wood grain chip and select Save As. Now you can browse to the Wood default folder under Google/SketchUp 7/Materials. Save your wood grain there in that folder and it will be available to new models in your Materials dialog box.
You could also click the down arrow/plus sign icon in the upper right of the Material dialog box to open a second pane. Point to the Wood material folder. Then drag and drop the new texture from the In Model library to the lower pane. This procedure does the identical action by saving your new wood grain into the default Wood folder.
Posted: 8:45 pm on June 29th
Thank you for your work.
Is there a way to add a wood texture that you use frequently to the default woods in the materials section. That way I would not have to do the import, rotate, etc each time.

My 2 year old painted turtle and he wont eat ant type of vegetation or store bought turtle food. all he will eat is freeze dried river shrimp, various bugs, small fish and small bits of meat. I dont think this is a healthy diet, How do I get him to stop being so selective of food?

Welcome to the forum!
Turtles can be picky eaters. Mine for a while only ate crickets. The key is to provide variety, not too much of one thing. You can also alternate days when you feed live animals versus fruits and vegetables. Turtles don't have to eat daily so, if the turtle only eats the live animals every other day, he won't starve. What he will do is hopefully be hungry enough on alternate days to eat the other foods that are important for him to eat for a rounded diet.
Commercial foods are good to feed to ensure the turtle gets all the vitamins and minerals that he/she needs but they're not as healthy as eating real animals and plants in other ways (added chemicals, preservaties, corn, glutens, and unnatural ingredients). Try some other brands to see if the turtle likes a different kind of pellet.
Good luck!

KTRB Radio (860-AM) general manager Jim Pappas isn't pretending that his station can compete with KNBR. But he does believe it can provide some material that KNBR can't.
KTRB launched a new all-sports format on Monday featuring strictly syndicated programming. But Pappas plans on gradually introducing local programming that will be heavily focused on the A's and Raiders.
"We're not under any illusions that we're going to somehow beat KNBR," Pappas said. "KNBR is a wonderful radio station that has great local talent. KNBR's success cannot be disputed. Our objective is to be a good, viable alternative and to provide more content for those people who want to hear more of what KNBR just can't do enough of because there are only 24 hours in a day."
Pappas believes, through feedback from listeners and advertisers, that A's and Raiders fans are underserved in the local sports radio landscape because KNBR is the flagship station for the Giants and 49ers. Thus, KNBR's sports talk hosts spend more time talking about the teams that the station carries.
KTRB is in its first season carrying A's games, and Pappas said the station would be interested in striking up a relationship with the Raiders, who currently are in the middle of a contract with KSFO.
"People were giving us feedback that KNBR is great, but they really don't focus on the A's and Raiders," Pappas said. "KNBR's focus, rightly so, is on the Giants and 49ers. But what about those East Bay sports fans? What about those who like the Oakland sports teams?"
KNBR general manager Tony Salvadore acknowledged that his programming focuses more on the Giants and 49ers but rejected the notion that it doesn't pay enough attention to the A's and Raiders.
"I'm not buying that at all," Salvadore said. "For anyone to say that we don't cover the A's or we don't cover the Raiders is such a fabrication. Are we going to talk more about the Giants? Of course we are. But we're a sports station. We don't ignore the A's."
For now, KTRB is airing six nationally syndicated shows from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. Included in the lineup is Chris Myers' show on Fox Sports Radio and "Sports Byline with Ron Barr," which has been on the air for more than 20 years. Barr is a former sports anchor at KRON-TV.
Pappas said part of the motivation from switching formats from political talk to all-sports was to be able to build programming around the A's broadcasts.
"The A's tended to go from station to station, and their programming was its own little island on whatever kind of station it was on," Pappas said. "This is a work in progress. We're going to be talking to a lot of different people about creatively bringing program elements into our format that are more localized that deal with the A's and the Raiders."
KTRB also carries Stanford football and men's basketball games.
Salvadore said all-sports is one of the hardest radio formats to have success in because it has to be local and is expensive to produce.
"Jim Pappas is a nice guy. I wish him the best of luck," Salvadore said. "But to say that we don't cover the A's and Raiders is just a way for them to rationalize what they are doing. Welcome to the sports radio business. It's a free country. I wish him the best."

Gifted Students with Disabilities
Research by Colleen Willard-Holt
Nov 23/10
Gifted students with disabling conditions comprise a major group of underserved, understimulated, underidentified youth (Karnes & Johnson, 1991). A large portion of their time is often spent in remediation or learning to circumvent the effects of the disability, which in turn may preclude the recognition and development of their intellectual gifts. The potential contributions of these students is incalculable; one only need think of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, Ludwig Beethoven, Stevie Wonder, and Stephen Hawking to realize that recognizing and nurturing the talents of these students is critical. Giftedness exists in populations of students who have visual, hearing, learning, physical and neurological disabilities, as well as persons with autism spectrum disorders and those who have mental health conditions. The thrust of this research program (Willard-Holt, 1994; 1998; 1999; 2002; 2005) is to delineate the characteristics that may indicate significant intellectual potential in the presence of a disability, which may mask or otherwise alter the expression of traditional indicators of giftedness. The significance of the research is to enable teachers to recognize and address all aspects of these twice-exceptional individuals and to assist these young people in reaching their potential.

Heart Face Shape - Characteristics
By Kate
Find out which characteristics make up a heart face shape.
Your face shape is heart!
A heart face shape requires haircuts, styles and makeup that will help to flatter and minimize the width through the forehead and bring balance to the narrow jawline and chin.
If you have a heart face shape then you'll recognize the following characteristics:
- Your face is longer than it is wide and has a wide width.
- Your forehead and jawline are a similar width in appearance.
- Your chin is noticeably pointed.
- Your cheek line and the sides of your face taper into your jawline.
- Your forehead is wide and round at your hairline.
- Your face is widest at your forehead but your cheekbones are also wide and pronounced.
All of these characteristics add up to face shape that is small and sweet and can be flattered with the right hairstyle and makeup choices.
To find out exactly what will work for your heart face shape when it comes to styling your hair and applying makeup, we recommend trying our Free Hairstyle Consultations and taking a look at the following links:

Sen. Coburn Targets Shrimp on Treadmill, Other NSF Spending
Sen. Coburn: Cut from Medicare to Reduce Deficit
Sen. Tom Coburn is stepping up his crusade against the National Science Foundation this week with a new report that said the NSF funds frivolous research and fritters away its own management funds.
Studies on use of the FarmVille game on Facebook, how long shrimp can run on a treadmill, March Madness and choosing baby names all make Sen. Coburn's latest hit list.
"As a practicing physician and a two-time cancer survivor, I understand the benefits of scientific research," the senator said. "There is no question NSF serves an important – and legitimate – purpose in our society and has contributed to scientific discovery… Unfortunately, in some ways NSF has undermined its core mission through mismanagement and misplaced priorities."
Mr. Coburn singles out a $314,863 grant to Michigan State researchers in October 2009 for a two-year study of "The Role of Social Network Sites in Facilitating Collaborative Processes." Instead, he said, they may have wanted to study "whether or not spending too much time playing FarmVille with strangers on-line had any impact on Facebook users' relationships with their own family or friends in the real world."
He is also critical of the decade-long shrimp research and the popular Internet videos that resulted. The research was funded with some $3 million in grants.
NSF spokeswoman Maria Zacharias said the social networking study was meant to test whether inexpensive technology could be used for other, more serious, kinds of remote collaboration. She also said the shrimp study tested the effects of bacteria on mobility and that shrimps were a good way of figuring that out. "It's not as if the study was done as entertainment to see shrimps running around on a treadmill," she said.
The senator has previously targeted NSF and the National Institutes of Health research funded with stimulus dollars. Those studies have examined drug abuse and sexual behavior, including testing the effect of cocaine on monkeys and whether there was a connection between alcohol consumption and female college students having casual sex. Mr. Coburn's latest report proposes eliminating the foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economics Directorate because, he said, "the social sciences should not be the focus of our premier basic scientific research agency."
The NSF also comes under attack for instances of employee misbehavior, including news reports of jello-wrestling at the McMurdo research station in Antartica, leasing pricey headquarters in Arlington, Va., and spending $16 million a year on air travel. The senator said he wants to see more money given to the foundation's inspector general and that the NSF should take its findings more seriously.
The foundation said that it doesn't pay for first-class tickets and that it has to spend a lot on airfare to fly in scientists to review grant proposals.
In a statement, it said that "while no agency is without flaws, NSF has been diligent about addressing concerns from members of Congress about workforce and grant management issues… We believe that no other funding agency in the world comes close to NSF for giving taxpayers the best return on their investment."

Philex sends rescue team to Compostela ValleyTuesday, December 11, 2012
Philex Mining Corp. has sent a team of miners to help in the ongoing rescue operation in Compostela Valley, where more than 600 people have been killed, 900 missing, and thousands more homeless when typhoon "Pablo" recently hit southern Philippines.
The 12-member team, which arrived in the devastated area today after leaving Philex Mining•s Silangan Project in Surigao del Norte yesterday afternoon, has registered at the New Bataan Command Center, Philex Mining President and COO Eulalio Austin, Jr. said.
•Our miners, whose work involves the recovery of ore from under the ground, are well-trained in the search-and-rescue operation of victims buried in rubble, such as the one happening now in Compostela Valley,• he stressed.
Mr. Austin, who last night announced on TV5 that Philex Mining pledged P10 million for the typhoon victims in Compostela Valley, said the Philex rescue team, which is initially assigned in Purok 1, Barangay Mandaya, New Bataan, would receive a reinforcement of another team of miners if the need arises.
He added that, in the meantime, another team of 12 miners would leave Philex Mining•s Padcal Project, in Benguet, today for Silangan as replacement for the 12 miners who went to Compostela Valley.
•We also do not want to delay our ongoing project in Silangan, so we are sending replacements for our rescue team who left for New Bataan,• he said.
Philex Mining earlier said that it was on-track for the commencement of production in its Silangan Project by 2017, as prefeasibility study and mine development were being pursued aggressively.
Mr. Austin said the Philex rescue team would continue helping in Compostela Valley up to the last day of search-and-rescue operation.

It's been one year since Dealernews published its Green Issue (http://bit.ly/8JyFBc) featuring Jenny Frieze of Frieze Harley- Davidson flexing her environmental muscles (http://bit.ly/8TxB5z) while showing the benefits of green retailing. That February 2009 issue also featured several articles on the benefits of going green, and the ins and outs of energy-efficient, environmentally responsible retailing. The question now is: Did any of this have an impact on you? If so, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Frieze — quite obviously — isn't the only retailer with an eye on the environment and how it can affect the bottom line. The National Retail Federation reports (http://blog.nrf.com) that Wal-Mart has broad sustainability goals that coexist with the retail behemoth's legendary focus on profitability. Walt Kistler, Wal-Mart's senior VP of sustainability, outlines some of the company's efforts, which were first put in place in 2005. These called for the company to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy, to create zero waste and to sell products that sustain people and the environment. During the NRF's big trade show in January, Kistler said these goals are spread among associates, operations, suppliers and customers.
While it's a companywide effort, Kistler stressed that senior leadership needed to be engaged in any sustainability plans — they're the ones likely to help push them through. In other words, this is something you'll have to encourage your entire staff to follow. So what's Wally-World doing?
- Doubled the efficiency of its truck fleet
- Focused on packaging changes to improve its logistics system
- Created a profit stream out recycling
- Unplugged the lights on some in-store vending machines (small changes can make an enormous difference, Kistler said.)
Much like the experts we talked with for our Green Issue, Kistler urged businesses to simply get started. This means anything from installing energy-efficient lighting, drought-resistant native landscaping, recycling waste oil for heating or updating a HVAC system.

North Augusta, SC--North Augusta has been known for some good quarterbacks under Dan Pippin. Lorenzo Hammonds comes to mind. He was more of a dual threat. For Trib Reece, more your prototypical quarterback who can sling it all over the yard.
Friday against T.L. Hanna, he did just that. When the dust finally settled, the numbers were pretty guady. 15 of 21 passing, 300 yards and four scores, all in the first half, all covering more then 30 yards. Not bad for a guy who wasn't exactly warming up like he knew a big game was coming.
"Well at the begining when I was warming up I was skeptical, I wasn't following through and stuff and then when game time hit, after that first touchdown, everything just started rolling and everything was just easy." said Trib Reece "When I go from JV to Varsity, it's a whole different level so it slows down tremendously now and it clicks now"
Reece did get quite a bit of playing last year and you could see the potential. Now, with another year under his belt, the sky is the limit.
For his efforts in Fridays win, we honor north augusta's trib reece as our Academy Sports player of the week.

Partner programs coming soon to a Facebook Page near you February 22, 2011Posted by Graham Sumioka in Branding, Channel Sales Impact, Channel Trends, Marketing, Technology.
1 comment so far
A couple of weeks ago Facebook made some very interesting updates to Pages. If you manage a page for your company you have no doubt noticed that the look and feel resembles your personal one, but this is nothing compared to two changes that set the stage for significant b2b interaction.
You can now interact on Facebook as an entity (assuming you are an admin for the Page), and as of March 11 of this year Facebook will require you to use an iframe if you wish to create a custom tab. A company Facebook Page will now be a window to rich and dynamic content hosted directly by the company itself.
E-commerce is of course the juggernaut Facebook is wooing with this move, but partner program portals are obvious candidates to make the jump as well. Currently, company specific partner portals operate as mini networks found through links scattered in random places on websites. Along with great content they need traffic and engagement to continue to live and grow. Time, attention spans, password retention, etc. are all things that can prevent company partner portals from thriving these days.
Enter the recent Facebook changes. Now those companies (and their content filled partner portals) have access to all of the traffic and engagement they can handle with the 500 million plus active users on Facebook. It may not be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, but at least you know where the barrel is (and psst – it's really full). If you could interact with a company in exactly the same way on their Facebook page would you do that over going to their dedicated website?

In case you didn't notice above, I am now the primary author for the Ethofy blog. There is no need to draw too much attention to this, but it does bring up an interesting conversation about the best way to introduce change to a group of people that may be used to the way things were.
Company transitions for dedicated account managers have been happening long before companies even had the notion of publishing a blog. While I am not taking over a group of clients using our products and services, I do have a responsibility to support the current audience (my company included) with insights and commentary about content marketing topics.

Watch: 3oh!3, Kesha get fresh in 'First Kiss' music video
The music video to 3oh!3's "My First Kiss" featuring Ke$ha, predictably, features a lot of kissing.
While the band members and Queen Trash aren't much eye candy themselves, the artful crafters of this gem provided random pairings of pucker people, from young guy smooching an old gal (hijinx!) to overtly coy girl-on-girl action (scandal!), plus a paint tin of lip colors and hyper-colored, photoshoppy backdrop that makes me think I'm being sold Starbursts or something.
My cohort Melinda Newman pointed out how memorable Ke$ha's voice has become, and I unfortunately have fallen victim to the brain gum that is that descending "ooooo" line. Still, I think the track sounds like a jump rope chant that you shouldn't repeat too loudly, lest you get yanked early from recess.
"My First Kiss" is the first single from the electro-dance-rock troupe's forthcoming "Streets of Gold," due June 29. Dr. Luke, Matt Squire, Benny Blanco and Greg Kurstin helped out on the production end.

a1 University of New England, Australia
a2 Macquarie University, Australia
The picture of L. Appuleius Saturninus' last days is usually derived from the straightforward narrative account found in Appian's Civil Wars, an account which modern analysis has shown to be flawed. That narrative may be glossed as follows. At the consular elections for the year 99, Saturninus (a tribune who had that year been elected to a third tribunate) and Glaucia (a praetor and candidate for the consulship) instigated the death of a more hopeful contender. Chaos followed. On the following day, when the People (demos) had made its intention to do away with the 'malefactors' absolutely plain, Saturninus, Glaucia and the quaestor Saufeius seized the Capitol with followers from the country. The Senate voted for their suppression and Marius invested the hill. With hopes of a safe conduct, the beseiged surrendered and Marius detained them in the curia. Those who feared that the seditiosi might escape rough justice broke in and killed, amongst others, 'a quaestor, a tribune and a praetor, still decorated with the insignia of office. Many others also perished in the stasis, including another tribune, thought to be the son of Gracchus and being a tribune for the first time on that very day': ταμίαν τε κα δήμαρχον κα στρατηγόν, τι περικειμνους τ σμβολα τς ρχς. πολς δ κα λλος μιλος ν τ στάσει διφθαρτο κα δήμαρχος τερος, το Γράκχου πας εναι νομιζμενος, πρτην δημαρχν κενην μραν.

If you are losing your home Bankruptcy Law may be able to save you from going through a foreclosure. While each case is different, a Chapter 7 can delay a foreclosure for months while a Chapter 13 can enable you to stay in your home while making payments according to your repayment plan.
Per Bankruptcy Law when you file for a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7 the court will put an "automatic stay" in place. This automatic stay informs creditors that they need to halt all collection activities pending the results of the court hearings. At minimum, the stay normally lasts three to four months. In order to have the stay lifted a creditor needs to go before the court a make a motion, something that your bankruptcy attorney can argue against.
Our Lawyers are experts at helping families stay in their home while navigating through the bankruptcy process. When your home is at stake, it is important to work with experienced Lawyers. One simple paperwork mistake could cause the court to not approve your bankruptcy and your foreclosure to continue as scheduled. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you and your Lawyers will propose a repayment plan.

Obviously the Pistons can lay claim as the team to beat in the East, considering their earlier win over the Celtics at the Garden and their stellar play of late. But for tonight, the Rockets will have their hands full against the team with the best record in the league. And they'll have to tackle the Celtics without their leading scorer, Tracy McGrady, who will miss his fifth game in seven tips with a sore left knee.
Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo sat out the victory over the Lakers with a sore hamstring, but he will be back in action tonight. That's just what the Rockets needed.

First of all I would like to thank Sigma for the great opportunity to share my work and some nature photography techniques. Through this blog I can share ways to improve your nature photography and most importantly enjoy your photography more.
One of the most important pieces of advice I can share is to realize that your imaging success is not as dependent on your camera as most people believe. The most important factors for successful nature photography in order of importance are the photographer, the lens, being there, proper technique, knowing your subject and finally the camera.
Canon 1DMKII N and Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 HSM, Handheld, 1/1250 sec at F4, manual metering, flash off, ISO 100.
Another important factor to success is learning good technique. Get as much practice as possible and learn from others that are more experienced. If you are a beginner or novice start out with a quality lens and a good prosumer SLR and consider a tour or workshop to learn proper field techniques. Training can really help you get the most enjoyment out of your equipment.
The image above was made with a point and shoot and the only reason I included it is to show what you can do with a very basic camera and some good technique. If your budget doesn't allow for an 800mm lens learn to make the most of what you have and enjoy photography.
Nikon D700 and Sigma 100-300mm F4 EX HSM, Handheld, 1/600 sec at F5.6, manual metering, flash off, ISO 800.
The images here were made during my Bald Eagle workshop in Alaska. If you would like to know more or to join my free newsletter list please email: firstname.lastname@example.com or visit my website: https://www.robertotoolephotography.com You can send me ideas about any nature techniques you would like to learn more about in a future blog post.

Sam, the owner of T & H, went out of his way to assure that we were taken care of when our RV broke down upon arriving late on a Saturday afternoon and we ended up parked on the side of the dirt road for 2 nights. Thankfully we were close enough to plug into electricity. Even though he was in another city at the time, he called upon his man at the Park to come and give assistance. We had rain while we were there, but the roads were not a problem. Although this is primarily a mobile home park, he does have several RV sites with full hook-ups. We are looking forward to staying with him again the next time we are in Douglas, GA.

#2137 new New feature
Add drag and drop ordering for inlines to set order_with_respect_to in admin interface
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|russell@…, gary.wilson@…, mathijs@…, sun.void@…
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Pre-MR, adding order_with_respect_to would present an ordering field in the admin interface (or a draggable list of inline objects if dom-drag.js was installed). Post M-R, neither appears. Not sure if this is a problem at the template level or at the model level.

I have a "working" patch for this. It uses dojo for the JavaScript, and only works for one related model. Oh, and only for edit_inline_tabular. ie, it's not ready for contribution by any means.
If you're interested in getting it anyways (there was some interest on the mailing list), please mail me directly.

Is there an advantage in using nested get_app/get_models(app) rather than just using get_models()?
Also the _order field is marked as editable=False, so this in itself is insufficient for making it appear.

Oh, 2012 – how I will miss thee! Between the promotions, vacations, and all-around fun times, I have to admit, this has been a fabulous year. Rather than recap the last 12 months, I think I'll just review this past weekend.
After a workout and some errands, Kev and I hit the road to visit his parents on Friday. We had fun opening belated Christmas presents and taking a little trip to the Biltmore House.
Of course, we also had fun with a few indulgences, including but not limited to Anchor Christmas Ale and Pad Thai.
The food and the visit were both lovely, but I am so ready to get back on track. I think I'm not alone in saying, Bring it on 2013! Upon our return, Kevin and I hit the grocery store, and I loaded up on produce, like the collard greens below.
That's a lotta' greens! I made an altered version of my cabbage, kale, quinoa casserole last night with the collards, but don't worry – I saved the remaining greens for New Years day.
- Anyone else eat collard greens and black eyed peas for luck on New Years Day?
- Who has plans tonight?

They would tell everyone that the failure rate for the stores is extremely low when you asked about risk. But they knew that was a shamefull lie because the stores will be taken for free or a few K and the origional owner goes broke. Sure, who couldn't make money if you get the store from the poor sucker for free. Sure it stays open. But only THEY get stores for free. A guy off the street has to pay $25,000 just to sit at the table in franchise agreements. They will take EVERYTHING for a few grand when you are desparate, have a long term $2500 month lease around you neck and have no choice. They wait like vultures. And they'll probably figure out how you still owe them money if you fight to get a square deal at the end. I left quietly knowing it was a good as it gets. Sure I could spend a lot of money on lawyers trying to get what is fair. But the contracts aren't fair in the first place and I was stupid enough to believe thier words instead of what they write in the contract. Don't make that mistake. Read the contract with a lawyer and you will never want to sign it.
So you have to realize that franchises are a terrible deal. You've bought a really terrible job that yes you can still get fired from, and you can lose an increadible amount of money in. That lease you sign is a huge weight arund your neck. The franchise agreement when read pretty much says you have to do everything and pay them as well. There is really very little the company will do for you.
I don't care how nice the guy seems, all the excuses he has for disgruntled former owners. Don't buy it.

Step 1: Learn how to spell the name of your business.
Of course you have to abide by the corporation's policies and pay them their cut. You need to buy or rent a commercial location to run the business. Why is that the corporation's fault?
"There is really very little the company will do for you."
What did you expect them to do? You bought the franchise. It's your responsibility to make it profitable.
Your never gave a reason why it's the corporation's fault that you lost money. How much prior business experience did you have when you entered into this venture without the assistance of an attorney?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Family vacations, though absolutely wonderful, are notoriously well known for all the things that fantastically go wrong. On my recent family vacation to Florida, my family learned this in a rather massive way. And thanks to our happy misfortunes, I have compiled this list of necessary pre-cautions to take when preparing to hit the road or the friendly skies with family members. Grab a pen and piece of paper, you are going to want to write this down.
1. Who Has The Key?
We just arrived at the airport and no one had thought to bring the key to the house we were staying at on our family trip to Florida. After dropping my sisters and mom off to check the bags, Dad and I high tailed it back for home to get that key. Thankfully the plane was an hour late. We got home, got the key, and made it back in time to enjoy 30 minutes of waiting in the terminal. What lesson did we learn here? Make a list of all the things you need and check it before you leave. Most importantly, remember the stinkin' key.
2. Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen
It took about 2 hours to get to this beach by boat and we had all been spraying ourselves with sunscreen. We walked the beach, put on more sunscreen, picked up shells, put on more sunscreen, swam in the Gulf, put on more sunscreen, and got back on the boat and put on more sunscreen. Yet despite our slightly obsessive manner of applying sunscreen, we all managed to still get sunburn. What lesson did we learn here? Protect yourself from the sun as much as possible, it is a lot stronger further south.
3. Lots Of Card Games
When preparing for our family vacation, we were completely aware that the weather was not supposed to be very favorable. So we rented Red Box DVDs and played card games. Instead of going to the beach, fishing, or just being outside, we played cards and re-watched The Avengers and Rise of The Guardians about 15 times. What did we learn from this? Always have a back-up plan. And make sure you know how to play more than one card game… it gets old fast.
Family vacations are not always perfect. But it's the things that go so wrong that make the best memories. Always be prepared and don't let mishaps get you down!

Aww, Guess Who Got This Cute Little Dinosaur Tattoo!
7/20/2013 8:00 AM PDT, by Emily Trainham
Really though, the question here should be more like "aww, guess who got this mildly terrifying, decently sized angry dinosaur skeleton tattoo?" That's more accurate, right? Oh, and it's Chris Brown.
Sorry for the early morning gross-out, but this is reality. This is something we have to face. We have to look Chris Brown's scary dinosaur skeleton right in the eye and say "we're not afraid of you." We have to acknowledge that yes, Chris Brown is very famous, and yes, he does have silly nipple tattoos, and this is the world we live in. It's healthy for us to look at Chris' stupid torso, really. We can't run away from that random head and his designer panties forever. We have to embrace these things. But not literally, since Chris is known to be violent.
Good talk!

KnockOut: Microsoft Outlook Companion
Copyright (C) 2002 Jensen Harris
KnockOut is a free Microsoft Outlook companion product that allows you to easily monitor the state of Outlook on your computer. From a notification area icon, KnockOut can show you if Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Word are running on your computer (even if no windows are showing on your taskbar). If one of these applications is in a hung state, you can terminate them right from the KnockOut menu. This will help clear up rare mystery situations, in which you think Outlook is not running because you see no windows on your taskbar, but when you launch Outlook again nothing happens because it is actually running in the background.
KnockOut also can help you control the Outlook notification area icons, allowing you to remove them from your taskbar. KnockOut can pop up optional balloons (Windows 2000 or later required) which can also be configured to show you what version of Outlook you are running on your computer.
In addition, KnockOut lets you create Outlook items (mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, etc.) from anywhere you are in Windows, whether Outlook is running or not. Simply click the KnockOut icon in the taskbar, select the type of item you would like to create, and it comes up immediately. The KnockOut menu is customizable, so that you can easily get to your favorite items as quickly as possible.
Microsoft Outlook power users and developers can't afford to be without Knockout.
|System Requirements
System: Microsoft Windows 95 or later. Some features require later operating systems; all features available only on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or later.
Outlook: Microsoft Outlook 97 or later. (Includes Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.)
The KnockOut notification area icon, with optional balloons and version tracking turned on.

|Troubleshooting / Bug Reporting / Feedback
KnockOut is made available in the hope that you find it useful. It is free, and thus it is by-and-large unsupported.
If you find a bug or are having problems with KnockOut, you are welcome to contact the author by e-mail. Please include the word 'KnockOut' in the subject of the e-mail, and include information about the operating system and version of Microsoft Outlook you are using. I will try to answer e-mails when I have time, but no timely response can be guaranteed.
If you have feedback or a suggestions about KnockOut, I would love to hear that as well.

I installed the plugin and copy paste the experiment code. So far so good. But when I save it, it and I go back and check if its there - it has dissappeard. I go back to google experiment, and it says (of course) that the code is not found.
Appreciate if someone found a solution to this issues.

Gust MEES's curator insight, May 18, 8:12 AM
The Maker Movement has helped spur renewed interest in hands-on learning and the value of spaces where children can explore their own ideas, be creative, and tinker. Some schools have made makerspaces and FabLabs a priority, building making activities into the curriculum and encouraging kids through afterschool activities. In large part, this new excitement has come from a predominantly white, male sensibility and conversations about equity and tinkering tend to focus on questions of access to makerspaces and to tools.

Career and Technical Education programs (often called vocational schools) have their students learn by doing. Learning by doing is known as experiential learning. Why is experiential learning beneficial? Below are the three reasons described in this post.
Reason 1: Experiential education promotes positive attitudes towards learning.
Reason 2: Experiential education provides true-to-life experience that enhances career exploration.
Reason 3: Experiential education helps create more engaged members of the workforce.
Each of these reasons is discussed in the post. There is also an excellent infographic, Experiential Learning in the Classroom: Learn by Doing.

Jackie GERSTEIN: I was asked recently why I have a strong interest and innate understanding of the growth mindset. I believe it comes from a background of being an adventure educator, and even though it was not labeled as such, the adventure educator embraces a growth mindset when working with participants. The underlying tenet of adventure education is "You are capable of so much more than you can even imagine. I believe in you and your capabilities; and I will set up the conditions for you to develop and amplify that same belief in yourself."

Gust MEES's curator insight, October 3, 2015 10:16 AM
What is Coaching?
Over 2,400 years ago, at the height of the Athenian enlightenment, Socrates asserted that teachers should help students to uncover information for themselves. This was a radical departure from the traditional approach of the time, which thought of students as empty vessels and of teachers as dispensers of information. The Socratic philosophy of teaching set the stage for coaching, which aims to unlock and increase potential and learning.
Whether a coach is helping a teacher improve, or a teacher is using the same skills with students in the classroom, coaching allows for a constructionist theory of education. This allows for the individuals to create strategies for themselves.
The Goal of Coaching
Coaching is concerned with long-term skill development rather than with quick fixes or temporary understanding. We define coaches as those who offer inspiration, guidance, training, and modeling, and who enhance others' abilities through motivation and support (Longenecker & Pinkel, 1997). The goal of a coach is to increase achievement by helping someone:

How can teachers best integrate technology into their lesson plans? This post looks at 10 questions we should consider asking ourselves, and provides suggestions of tools to consider using that will help us seamlessly integrate technology. Below are the first four questions.
1. How am I activating into my students' prior knowledge?
2. How am I presenting information to students in an engaging way?
3. How am I collecting, disseminating, and annotating student work?
4. What opportunities and resources am I giving my students for practice?
Integrating technology should become a component of our lesson design. As you review the additional questions you will find that not all apply to every lesson you teach. Think about your objectives and then select the question(s) most applicable.
As you look at the suggested tools in the post make sure that you try using the ones you choose. There is nothing more frustrating than to use a tool as a teacher, and you know it works...but when the student logs in the tool is blocked due to permissions. My lesson learned...I must test each and every tool, so that I know how to use it and to make sure students also have access.
Kimberly House's curator insight, April 25, 2015 8:16 AM

Is the memorization of information an effective way for learners to retain information? According to brain research the answer would be no. It is critical that connections be made. This post by Jackie Gerstein discusses the need for:

* Increase context and relevancy

Okay, I agree that when all switch ports in a source-sink path are set
to half duplex and the system is fully saturated, you will have this
"collision" propagated upstream, to try to get the source to hold off.
But this *should* never result in a late colision or any such
weirdness (assuming the individual link lengths are within spec),
because what is actually being propagated upstream is a local PAUSE
command based on a purely local decision by the switch.

In a properly designed switch, that should never happen. The
"collision" being signaled upstream from a given port should only be
the result of a local queue at THAT switch, or perhaps even at that
switch PORT, having exceeded a certain level. And that threshold level
is less than 100 percent, or you will be dropping frames occasionally.
The switch should not be making the decision on sending the
"collision" signal, actually a PAUSE command, based on what's
happening several switches downstream. That's why late collisions
should never be an issue with bridges (switches).

8 Tips to Lower Risk of a Heart Attack or Stroke
In this article
Do you want to cut the odds of a heart attack or stroke? Sometimes just small tweaks to your lifestyle can be a huge help. Try this step-by-step approach.
1. Exercise a Little Each Day
Moderate physical activity lowers your chances of getting a heart attack by 30% to 50%. Aim for 30 minutes of exercise that gets your heart pumping at least 5 days a week. Brisk walking or swimming are some good choices. On the other 2 days, do strength training, like lifting weights.
If you've got a tight schedule, break your exercise routine into small chunks. Try a 15-minute walk in the morning and another before lunch.
2. Set a Reasonable Goal for Weight Loss
If you're overweight or obese, you don't have to get thin to reduce your risk for a heart attack or stroke. If you lose 5% to 10% of your weight, you'll improve your cholesterol numbers and lower your blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
3. Take Your Heart Medicine
It sounds like a no-brainer, but don't skip your meds. A lot of people don't take their medications the way their doctor told them to. Figure out what keeps you from taking your medicine -- such as side effects, cost, or forgetfulness – and ask your doctor for help.
4. Eat Well
If you stick to a healthy diet you could lower your odds of getting heart disease by 25%. Fill your plate with different kinds of fruits, veggies, whole grains, fish, and lean meats. Stay away from processed or prepared foods that often are high in salt and filled with preservatives.
5. Drink Some Alcohol, but Not Too Much
If you drink, any type of alcohol helps your heart, but use caution. Too much raises your risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.
To get the benefit without the risk, limit yourself to one drink a day if you're a woman and two if you're a man.
6. Eat a Little Chocolate
Several studies show that people who eat it more than once a week lower their risk of heart disease by almost 40% and stroke by about 30%. Go for dark chocolate, and make sure the ingredients are at least 70% cacao. It's filled with nutrients that help protect your ticker.
Keep your portions small so you don't gain weight and work your heart harder.
