Scott Welsh, former Golf Pro at the Hesston Golf Course has made a radical career change. Welsh is now a full-time actor and soon-to-be member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
Welsh has made appearances on major television shows including Parks and Recreation, CSI New York, Glee, Pretty Little Liars, NCIS, Men at Work and True Blood.
He has appeared in several films and is now the star in an untitled work which will earn him his Screen Actors Guild membership.
The film that is earning Welsh his SAG card was filmed just outside of Hesston.
"This is the kind of film that is reminisce of the old-school Sundance Film Fest. It has a kind of guerilla feel," said Director and Producer Jonathan Pope.
Welsh's first film will be show first at film festivals across the nation and possibly internationally.
Welsh said his character, a Midwestern father of a gay young adult, turns many stereotypes on their ear.
"Hank is a lover to the max. Hank can love until it hurts. He wants the best for those closest to him, but part of him needs those closest to him to be near him. That was the tug and pull of this film," said Welsh.
Welsh said he was ready for a career change after nearly 30 years of working in the golf industry.
"I had been in the golf industry since I was 15. I left Hesston Golf Park when I was 42. That's about 27 years in the golf business. I love to play and teach, but I found those were things I was spending the least amount of time doing," he said.
As Welsh was taking time to explore career options, he began contacting friends.
"Knowing Jodi [Julian] from California, she said, with some work, I could be an actor," said Welsh.
He confessed, at first he was not interested in the field.
"I said 'No.' about as stern as a man can say no, followed by, 'You're crazy,'" he said.
Julian was not one to give up on Welsh.
"It was just intuitive. In working with students, you know when a person has that kind of gift. I just knew with him. At first, I thought it would be just one or two lines in a show. I never knew it would become my life-project, but I'm happy it is," she said.
As an collegiate acting coach and professor with Broadway experience, Julian felt Welsh had a unique quality.
"He doesn't have that southern California look. He has this very Midwestern look. It makes him unique. Out there, it's almost cookie-cutter. He has something different," she said.
Welsh said Julian made contact with agents unbeknownst to him.
"She submitted my photo and we got a callback. I was shocked," he said.
After a very positive introduction to the industry, Welsh decided to dive in.
"I did a lot of scripted monologues. She coached me from nothing. What I had was 42 years of life experience to draw from. We kept working with monologues and headshots to scene work to show casting agents and directors," said Welsh.
Welsh's work paid off when he landed his first major role.
"Last October, I auditioned for a student film, Liberman's Paradox, and landed the role. It was my first time in front of a real camera with lighting and hearing 'action.' It went well and I got a lot of nice comments," he said.
His career as an actor has continued to thrive, as he lands spots on major network television shows.
"I have been on about 40 television shows, seven or eight movies. They have been non-speaking roles, but I am getting experience being on-set and building experience," he said.
While Welsh has been uniquely successful, he said one major stumbling block has been hold his career from its full potential.
"Jodi has shown me to agents and, consistently, I have been in the final five but not getting roles – because I'm not a member of the union, the Screen Actor's Guild. You need union status to start getting bigger roles," he said.
The film, now in post-production, set just outside Hesston, Welsh hopes, will earn him the coveted SAG membership.
"I got in touch with the director, Jonathan Pope, and he said he would like me to play the role of Hank. From leaving Hesston Golf Park to, hopefully, earning my SAG membership, it will have been two years. So much credit goes to Jodi, who has been my acting coach and fast-tracked me," he said.
Welsh said while he has spent two years between Hesston and Hollywood, his heart is still in the Midwest.
"I have two children here in Hesston. I have the greatest support system with friends and family. There is nothing at all about me that is "too cool" for Hesston, Kansas," he said.
Julian, a Los Angeles native, said while Hesston is an enjoyable community, the city holds its own unique appeal as well.
"There are lots of parts of LA that are beautiful. Ninety percent of the population is from 'somewhere else.' There are a lot of transplants, a lot of people from the Midwest and east coast," she said.
Welsh said he continues to dream big and work toward film success.
"I would love, if I had my pick, to be in film making movies. I still have some experience to gain – do some television shows starting out and, if I get fortunate, land something in film. I feel like film would be the most fun for me," he said.

~A Short History of Leonard's Books~
Leonard E. Haley first opened Leonard's Antiques & Used Furniture back in 1972 in a familiar storefront in Lafayette, Indiana. After he passed away in 1988, his son Eric continued the family business, gradually adding his favorite stock — books — and changing the name to "Leonard's Antiques & Books."
Leonard's was the first antiques store in the Lafayette area to go online, in 1996. Five years later, in 2001, the landmark store was closed, and Eric moved his collection of rare, out-of-print, and quality used books and magazines to a new location in Carroll County, Indiana–right next to our house in the old Burrows fire station. The name was changed to "Leonard's Books" to reflect our new focus on both book sales and bookbinding. Today, the vast majority of our business is book and Bible rebinding.
Eric's bookbinding beginnings were humble, when he used his experience in antique books to bravely attempt to restore his wife's treasured copy of The Prince and the Pauper, rescued from a relative's damp basement and covered with contact paper. He's now an experienced bookbinder, with over 30 years of experience in bookbinding, restoration, and book repair, including commissioned work for museums and rare collections libraries.
Now he's passing on his trade secrets and raising up a new generation of skilled craftsmen, who use TLC to reassemble and restore your treasured and priceless possessions and give them a glowing finished look.
At Leonard's, we love Bibles. It's the Word of God, and its message is timeless. However, your Bible cover is not. If your Bible needs a resurrection, visit our Bible Rebinding page to find out more about what we can do for it. From small hand-held Bibles to large old Family Bibles, we can help.
Our many satisfied customers would tell you you've come to the right place. Leonard's still has that same friendly service Leonard and Eric have always been known for. That we don't intend to change–it's a family tradition!
Go ahead and contact us, and we'll give you our best estimate on your priceless treasure. You'll be glad you did! You can use our convenient bookbinding quote request form.

Location: Crop Improvement and Genetics Research
Project Number: 2030-21000-020-03
Start Date: Sep 27, 2011
End Date: Aug 31, 2015
The proposed research will develop the platforms needed to use two novel pairs of unidirectional recombinase enzymes, namely Bxb 1 and ParA, for performing precise genetic engineering of crops. These recombinases can perform controlled DNA integration into or excision from plant chromosomes based on the presence and orientation of specific recognition target sites. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation will be used to generate multiple candidate founder transgenic lines in which the recombination platforms can be tested and shown to function for generating transgenic plants with valuable new traits and lacking superfluous foreign DNA. Camelina, a bioenergy crop, will be used as a test system for the recombination platform because its transformation system is quicker. Then the recombination platform will be introduced into soybean and citrus. In addition, to improve the healthfulness of citrus fruit, citrus genes encoding enzymes necessary for anthocyanin and lycopene production will be isolated and expressed using promoters that are shown to be fruit-specific.

The IBM Technology Alliance -- including IBM, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Infineon Technologies, Samsung Electronics, Co., Ltd., and STMicroelectronics -- have announced that they have jointly defined and are developing a 28nm, high-K metal gate (HKMG), low power CMOS process technology.
IBM reports that the 28nm technology can provide power-performance and time-to-market advantages for makers of a variety of power-sensitive and consumer electronics devices like MIDs and smartphones. The new technology creates improved leakage characteristics that will optimize battery life for next-gen mobile devices.
The alliance has outlined a migration path from the current 32nm process that is being used to the new 28nm technology that requires no costly and time-consuming redesign of the components according to IBM.
IBM's Gary Patton said in a statement, "Through this collaboration, IBM and its alliance partners are helping to accelerate development of next-generation technology to achieve high-performance, energy-efficient chips at the 28nm process level, maintaining our focus on technology leadership for our clients and partners."
IBM says that early work with some clients has shown that the 28nm technology can provide a 40% performance improvement while saving up to 20% in power compared to 45nm technology devices. The HKMG implementation also makes for one of the industry's smallest SRAM cells reports IBM at only 0.120 square microns.
ST-Ericsson's Jorgen Lantto said, "This statement of commitment to 28nm low-power technology by the IBM Joint Development Alliance is an important progression from 32nm high-k metal gate technology. Leaders in the mobile industry can utilize 28nm low-power technology to meet the increasingly aggressive demands for performance and improved battery life."
IBM recently walked away from purchase talks with Sun after Sun's board balked at IBM offer.
quote: Preliminary results working with early access clients and partners indicate that the 28nm technology platform can provide a 40 percent performance improvement and a more than 20 percent reduction in power -- all in a chip that is half the size -- compared with 45nm technology. The high-k metal gate implementation allows one of the industry's smallest SRAM cells at 0.120 square microns, with low minimum voltage operation and competitive performance, leakage and stability.

by Rudyard Kipling
Kim Chapter 2 Summary
- (Here's a quick vocabulary lesson in Kipling's Anglo-Indian writing. A babu means a low-level Indian clerk in the British Indian government administration, but it is also a racist term for an Indian who doesn't speak "proper"—a.k.a. Anglo—English. In this chapter, the book uses babu to mean a clerk, but the racist implications of the term are still there. For more on Kipling's Anglo-Indian background, check out our "In a Nutshell" section.)
Public Transportation Brings People Together
- At the train station, a babu tries to cheat Kim when he goes to buy tickets for himself and the lama.
- Kim is too smart for the guy though, and insists on tickets that go all the way to Umballa.
- He also buys a ticket to Amritzar (now spelled Amritsar), which is another big city in the Punjab.
- The lama has never traveled by train before, and he is frightened of all the noise.
- Kim and the lama board a crowded train car filled with a diverse group of people: a Sikh craftsman, a wealthy Hindu Jat farmer and his wife, an Amritsar courtesan (a.k.a. a prostitute), a Hindu banker, and a Dogra soldier.
- They all start chatting more or less nicely (though the farmer's wife clearly does not approve of the Amritzar girl).
Kim Is A Sneaky Little So-And-So
- The train stops at Amritzar so that the ticket collector can take everybody's tickets.
- Remember how we said that Kim bought two tickets, one to Umballa (which is far) and one to Amritzar (which is closer to Lahore)?
- Now we find out why.
- He gives the Umballa ticket to the lama and keeps the ticket for Amritzar for himself.
- At Amritzar, the ticket collector tries to boot Kim off the train for not having the full fare to Umballa.
- (We imagine the ticket collector was hoping for something like the classic "No ticket" scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.)
- Kim kicks up a huge fuss about being an orphan who can't leave the poor lama alone with no one to take care of him.
- The lama tries to pay Kim's fare, but Kim shushes him: he's working a con here.
- The Amritzar girl feels so sorry for Kim that she gives him money for the train ticket and for some extra food.
- Kim and the lama continue on the train to Umballa.
- The lama gets into a conversation about gods with his fellow passengers, and none of them recognize his Buddhist beliefs; in fact, they all think he's crazy.
- The lama seems to be confused by the train, and he worries that they are traveling too fast over the rivers that could be his River of the Arrow.
- The farmer's wife is pretty skeptical of all of the lama's talk, but she still offers them a place to stay for the night in Umballa.
Kim Is Clearly A Young James Bond In The Making…
- Kim slips away to deliver Mahbub Ali's message to the Englishman.
- He is pretty sure this is all secret business, so he hides in a nearby hedge and throws Mahbub Ali's message at the Englishman's feet; the Englishman drops a coin on the ground to pay Kim for his troubles.
- Kim quietly follows the Englishman and watches him reading Mahbub Ali's message.
- The Englishman shares the message with a tall, older man with black hair, who agrees that Mahbub Ali's message is the last straw—they have to send troops north to settle things.
- Kim goes to the kitchens to find out who is eating at the house that night.
- Creighton Sahib and the Commander-in-Chief—the guest of honor—are both dining there.
- (Sahib means sir or master, and in Kipling's Anglo-Indian context, it is usually a word specifically used by Indian Urdu or Hindi speakers towards British or European men.)
- So Kim gets excited: He thought Mahbub Ali was probably tangled up with some woman, but it turns out that Mahbub Ali's message is big, serious news to do with real fighting.
About This Red Bull… You Don't Mean The Drink, Do You?
- Back at the farmer's house in Umballa, the farmer's wife has invited her family's Hindu priest over.
- This priest is impressed with the lama's holy manner, even if they don't share beliefs.
- They all talk over Kim's prophecy that he will find his fortune when he meets a Red Bull in a green field, and two men will arrive first to make way for his arrival.
- The Hindu priest checks out Kim's horoscope and makes a prediction: in three days, the prophecy's two men will come to clear the way for the Bull.
- But hanging over the Bull, there is a star sign of war.
- So war is in Kim's near future.
- The lama goes into a nearby field to look at a small river to see if it is his River.

Is boat race protester Trenton Oldfield the 'British Pussy Riot'?
Incredulity greets six-month jail sentence for man who disrupted the boat race
TRENTON OLDFIELD, the man who disrupted the Oxford-Cambridge boat race in April by swimming across the Thames, has been jailed for six months after a judge attacked him for being "prejudiced" against those taking part in the race.
The Australian, who was protesting against elitism and government cuts, was convicted of causing a public nuisance last month and was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court.
Sending him to prison, Judge Anne Molyneux described his behaviour as disproportionate and dangerous and said he had shown no remorse for his actions. "You made your decision to sabotage the race based on the membership or perceived membership of a group to which you took exception. That is prejudice. No good ever comes of prejudice," she said.
It was a "blistering attack" on Oldfield by the judge said The Times.
Several papers remark on the fact that Oldfield "smirked" as he awaited his sentence. "The judge, sitting at Isleworth Crown Court, west London, noted that Oldfield smiled as she spoke," reports The Daily Telegraph, perhaps tellingly. "But as she sentenced him to six months behind bars, he looked stunned and slowly shook his head from side to side."
The reaction on social networking sites like Twitter has also been one of surprise, and news of the six-month jail term generated incredulity in some quarters.
Some even drew comparisons between the fate of Oldfield and jailed Russian punk band Pussy Riot, who are regarded by many as political prisoners.
Former Charlatans singer Tim Burgess tweeted: "Trenton Oldfield who disrupted the boat race has been given six months in jail. And here's us thinking the Pussy Riot sentence was draconian."
Others drew comparisons with the fate of TV presenter Justin Lee Collins, who escaped jail despite being found guilty of harassing his girlfriend.
There was also a widespread feeling that the "establishment" had been offended by Oldfield's actions. "The boat race protestor Trenton Oldfield is a tool, but six months in the pokey? Disrespect for Oxbridge now clearly a criminal offence," wrote Kenny Farquharson, the deputy editor of Scotland on Sunday, who summed up the thoughts of many.
New Statesman legal blogger David Allen Green agreed. "Cannot seriously believe that, had it not been an Oxford/Cambridge thing, Trenton Oldfield would have received six months in prison," he said.
"Is it just me?" asked another Twitter user called Peter Smith. "There seems to be a growing disconnect between crime and punishment. Trenton Oldfield behaved like a prat but six months' jail?"
Disqus - noscript
Free Trenton!!!
Transport the b4st4rd. Send him to Australia!
She describes her work thus:
"This is the best job in the world. You are a part of the criminal justice system and the work is about ensuring that cases are tried fairly and that people are treated with respect, no matter who they are and no matter what their role in the proceedings might be."
And she wanted to be a judge from the age of 5.
I agree with Pete Smith's tweet quoted above. A prat but not within a thousand miles of deserving a custodial sentence in a world that spares the same fate to some violent pople.
I think she forgot the bit about treating people with respect no matter etc.
Can't get in with a criminal record !!!
Beautiful irony...reversing Graucho...."We don't want anyone like us as a member of our club".
May have to rely on the fact he is Aussie!
He's a pussy -- but he's no riot
There's a worrying trend towards jailing people for "prattism" in the UK. Other recent examples include the guy who was jailed for wearing an anti-police t-shirt in Manchester, the kid who made offensive jokes about April Jones on facebook and the BNP guy who used the word "darkie" in a blog.
He deserved the sentence. Its not only about what he did, it's also about the total lack of respect he's shown to the judge and everyone else that played a part in the heavy sentence. I hate anybody looking down their nose at me while smirking, so I would probably have done the same as the judge. He needs to learn respect. Maybe he will learn it in jail.
These things you mentioned worry me but the examples you gave are to do with freedom of speech. They are not disruptive but this prat is different and deserves 6 months. He examples you gave did not deserve any jail time.
No, she did not forget about treating people with respect. That may actually be the reason he got 6 months. He was acting like a prat in front of the judge by smirking and showing lack of respect towards her. He has no respect for anyone so I agree with this judge.
How is this not a freedom of speech issue? The public nuisance charge is just a smokescreen. This as much about freedom of speech as the Pussy Riot case was.
I don't see how you can say the public nuisance charge is a smokescreen when he disrupted the lives of millions who just wanted to watch a boat race in peace.
What he was protesting about was stupid anyway. If it was done for something more worthwhile then maybe the judge would have been more sympathetic and given him a lighter sentence.
This was the guy who jumped in the river and disrupted the activities of others. How is that a "freedom of speech" issue?
Millions? I can see how he disrupted the lives of its participants, and even the people there in person, but millions? A bit hyperbolic don't you think?
If you take at face value that he was was protesting elitism and governmental cuts--then it is a freedom of speech issue--in the same way that burning a flag is protected as 'speech' in America, because of the underlying statement being made by the act of desecrating the flag.
By the same reasoning, if he had shot someone in defence of freedom of speech (he said) that would be a "freedom of speech issue"?
I hope you will allow me the freedom to say you are 4king crackers.

If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, Then a Thousand Pictures Are Worth… You Do the Math
On a crisp spring night last month, seven girls, 15 bags, 12 cereal bars, and six digital cameras (including one rather hardcore Nikon SLR) embarked from JFK on a whirlwind two-week expedition. The madcap events that transpired have since been chronicled in upwards of 4,000 pictures, dozens of grainy digital videos, and, at last count, no fewer than 18 Facebook albums.
Were these intrepid, not-so-light-packing explorers actually photojournalists, you might rightly wonder. No? Anthropologists researching with great scrutiny the native cultures of faraway lands, perhaps? Hm… then a peripatetic posse of Japanese tourists, surely. Also wrong? Well, what kind of depraved people would journey across the globe simply to unleash upon unsuspecting locals a frenzy of flashes so furious that it could motivate the Hollywood paparazzi to step up their game?

Fresh criminal charges have been announced in Tbilisi against Mikheil Saakashvili, the former president of Georgia.
The Prosecutor-General's Office in Tbilisi announced on August 5 that Saakashvili had been charged with organizing an assault in 2005 against one of his political opponents, Georgian lawmaker Valeri Gelashvili.
On July 28, Saakashvili was charged with abuse of office.
Those charges stem from a crackdown on antigovernment protests in Tbilisi in November 2007 and the "seizure" of the private Imedi television station.
The Tbilisi City Court on August 1 ordered Saakashvili's pretrial detention in absentia.
Saakashvili, who led Georgia from 2004 to 2013, left the country in late 2013 after his second presidential term expired.
He denies any wrongdoing.
The United States and the European Union have expressed concerns that the charges filed against Saakashvili may be politically motivated.

THOMSON, Ga. - The Thomson community is grieving after 20-year-old Steven Wilson died and six others were injured in a car accident on Highway 17 near Dye's Restaurant.
Wilson graduated from Thomson High School in 2006. His mom, Carla Lampp says Steven could make anyone smile.
"Basically he was quite the prankster," said Lampp.
He was one of seven children and spent a lot of his time working at Best Western Hotel. His co-workers say he was a joy to be around.
"I'd come in and he'd say, 'Hey, how ya' doing?' even if I was half asleep," says Pamela Couch, who worked with Wilson for eight months.
Steven loved playing the flute. His Mom says what he loved even more was sharing his talents with others.
"Two young ladies that came to the room last night said he taught us to play the flute because he played the flute," said Lampp.
Lampp says what she wants people to remember most about Steven is his love for life.
"Today instead of the big floral thing that goes on the casket--that's really not Steven--I went and just bought a gigantic stuffed octopus. He was like that. He liked to make people smile and joke around," Wilson's mother said.
The other people involved in the accident are still in the hospital. Crystal Williams is in critical condition at MCG. Eric Hannah, the other driver, is also in critical condition. 18-year-old Hannah was a former football star at Jefferson County High School and was planning to go to college soon.
State Patrol has not released a final report on the accident yet.

I have an awful cough that is keeping me up at night. I called the doctor and they said guaifenesin is probably safe to take. Mucincex has guaifenesin in it but it also have dextromethorphan. Have any BF women out there taken Mucincex? Is there a medicine that you know of that is safe?
Probably just isn't good enough for me. So I doubt I will end up taking it but it would be nice to have some relief. If this cough isn't gone after the weekend I'm calling my primary. Of course my primary is most likely going to give me something else that is "probably" safe. Ugh!

Defined. A lawsuit is a legal action filed by a party seeking to enforce his or her legal rights. A foreclosure action is one whereby a lender seeks to enforce its legal rights by foreclosing on the mortgage note, taking the property, selling the property, and recouping the money the owed under the mortgage. When the amount recouped by the sale of the property is less than the amount owed on the mortgage, the lender will likely seek to require the borrower pay the difference. This difference - the amount the borrower must pay after the sale - is called a deficiency judgment. Depending on the sale price of the property, this deficiency judgment can be substantial.
The Answer. The answer to a foreclosure lawsuit is exactly what is appears to be - a borrowers answer to the allegations made in the lawsuit (sometimes called a foreclosure "action" or "claim. ") The lender is the "plaintiff" and the borrower is the "defendant" when the lender files a foreclosure lawsuit against the borrower. The answer to the foreclosure contains three sections, as described below.
What an Answer Must Contain. The answer to the foreclosure lawsuit has three major parts to it: 1) A statement admitting or denying the allegations made in the Complaint, 2) A list of defenses to the foreclosure lawsuit, and 3) A list of affirmative defenses to the foreclosure lawsuit. Sometimes there is a section called "Counter Claims" which acts like a counter-lawsuit, suing the lender for its own violations of the law. Each will be discussed below.
Most states are "notice pleading" states, which means an answer only needs to put the other side on notice of your defenses. An answer generally does not require a laundry list of facts supporting each defense, just enough information to put the other side on notice of how you intend to defend the lawsuit at trial. However, counterclaims, as discussed below, should contain each of the "elements" that establish that particular counterclaim.
Admitting or Denying Allegations Defenses. The defenses section of the Answer is the section whereby the defendant-borrower states the reasons why the lawsuit should never have been filed because the plaintiff-lender is "flatly wrong. " Each defense only needs to be a short and plain statement of the defense raised, unless fraud is one of the defenses, in which case the grounds of the fraud must be stated. Some defenses should be raised in a Motion to Dismiss instead of by Answer, such as when the lender sues the wrong person (such as when the lender mixes up the names).
A "defense" would include a statement to the effect of "you got the wrong guy. " Formally, this would be defense entitled, "Failure to State a Claim. " It is very important all defenses known to the borrower at the time the answer is filed are included within the Answer. Civil Rule 12(b) requires "every defense to a claim. . . must be asserted in the [Answer]. . . " Not including the defenses in the Answer can cause the borrower to waive his or her ability to raise the defenses later. If a rough Answer has already been filed in the lawsuit, the borrower may be able to file an Amended Answer.
Affirmative Defenses. Affirmative defenses are the rough equivalent of "yeah, but. . . " That is, the lender isn't flatly wrong in filing the foreclosure action, but there is some legal reason to avoid judgment in the lender's favor. For example, the lender might have sued the right person, but failed to mail a required Notice of Acceleration, which most mortgages/deeds of trusts require occur before the lender files foreclosure. Or, the lender might be the cause of the default if it forced-placed insurance on the homeowner, causing the payments to be impossible.
Counter Claims. Counter claims are mini-lawsuits filed back at the lender. Instead of filing a separate lawsuit against the lender, you may include a section within the Answer document that alleges claims against the party suing. If you think a counter claim is applicable, you must file it in the foreclosure action, or be forever barred from bringing it.
Civil Rule 13(a) requires the Answer you file include as a counterclaim any claim that - at the time of the lawsuit's service - arises out of the transaction that is the subject matter of the opposing party's claim. In a foreclosure lawsuit, this means any claims the homeowner has against the lender due to a defect in the mortgage must be filed with the Answer. This is called a compulsory counterclaim. It means that if you lose the foreclosure lawsuit and later find out the mortgage is defective, then you most likely will barred from suing the lender for the defect. Counter claims should include all of the elements of that particular law asserted. For example, one of the elements in a breach of contract claim requires an actual contract exist between the parties. If asserting breach of contract, you would want to include an allegation that a contract exists between the parties.
Timing. It is critical that an answer be filed within the required time frame under the rules of your state. Most states require the lender say within the lawsuit paperwork (within the Complaint, or on a cover sheet) how long a borrower has to file his or her Answer to the foreclosure. Whether a date is stated or not, the Answer usually must be filed within 20-30 days from the date served. If and Answer is not filed, the lender can move for default judgment, which means the borrower doesn't disagree with the foreclosure, even though he or she was given an opportunity to do so. If it is nearing the deadline or the lender hasn't requested a default judgment yet, it is generally appropriate to file a "Motion for Extension of Time. "
Instead of filing an Answer to the foreclosure lawsuit, the borrower may file a "Motion to Dismiss, " which stops the clock running on the need to file an Answer until the Motion to Dismiss is ruled upon by the Court. If you believe a defense is present that warrants a Motion to Dismiss, this will stop the foreclosure clock until the court decides whether dismissal is warranted.
Things to Consider When Beginning a Foreclosure Defense. The most significant item to consider is the impact fighting a foreclosure will have on the amount the borrower might be obligated to pay post-foreclosure via deficiency judgment. The amount owed at the end of the foreclosure action generally includes the amount of interest and penalties accumulated between the default date and the date of final judgment, as well as (in most states) attorney's fees. If the borrower thinks he or she might end up in bankruptcy if the foreclosure defense fails, then these accumulating costs might be less of a concern.
Next, consider if you wish to have a jury trial or a trial in front of a judge. This designation should be made within the Answer, usually by writing "JURY TRIAL DEMANDED" under the title of the document, then add a section after any Counter Claims titled "JURY TRIAL DEMANDED" and write "Defendant hereby demands a trial by jury. " It is usually a good idea to demand a jury trial, or one judge will be making all of the decisions.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - WKYT is learning more about a man who died after a car hit him Wednesday night.
Police say the car hit 41-year-old Jason Baines as he tried to cross Midland Avenue at Short Street Wednesday night. WKYT learned Baines worked for a Lexington bicycle shop.
41-year-old Jason Baines was an avid bicyclist. He worked at Lexington Bicycle Center, and had previously worked at another bike shop in town.
"So often we don't think about safety, especially with bicycles, until something tragic happens as with the situation," explained Sherelle Roberts with Lexington Police, "we just want to remind people that bicycles are vehicles as well. Bicyclists need to follow all of the rules of the road that includes stop lights, that includes crossing the street, that includes going with the flow of traffic."
Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown is handling all funeral arrangements. Baines leaves behind a fiance in Lexington.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
by Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead Foolishness and Folly Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue.
Quote #7
PLAYER: Yes, we were dead lucky there. If that's the word I'm after.
ROS (not a pick up): Dead?
PLAYER: Lucky.
ROS (he means): Is he dead? (3.284-287)
Is there more meaning that comes out of this little misunderstanding? Why would Ros pick up on the word "dead" while the player is focused on the word "lucky"?
Quote #8
ROS (mournfully): Not even England. I don't believe in it anyway.
GUIL: What?
ROS: England.
GUIL: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, you mean. (3.163-166)
Does Guil attempt to make Ros look more foolish than he actually is? Don't many of Ros's statements, interpreted correctly, actually make more sense than Guil seems to admit?
Quote #9
ROS: I wish I was dead. (Considers the drop.) I could jump over the side. That would put a spoke in their wheel.
GUIL: Unless they're counting on it.
ROS: I shall remain on board. That'll put a spoke in their wheel. (3.177)
Ros here is attempting not to question things and just to perform and act, but he doesn't seem to be having much success. Examine the way his mind works here and elsewhere: it's just like a wagon wheel, rolling from idea to idea.

Green Flooring
If you're in the market for new and innovative ways to "go green" in your home or business, Rubber Flooring Inc may have just what you're looking for! Our rubber flooring products serve a multitude of uses and yes, they are environmentally friendly. Our recycled rubber is made from recycled truck tire treads, otherwise known as buffings, which are the cleanest and most durable part of the tire. After the buffings are obtained and transported to our various production facilities, the ground rubber is placed in large cylinders with a urethane bonding agent and is compressed, creating a solid log. These logs of compressed rubber are then cut with computerized blades to exacting standards. Finally, they are reduced to specified lengths, rolled and shipped to our customers. The final product is an attractive, high-quality rubber flooring that is every bit as resilient as the tires on your car, although you may have a hard time travelling on your flooring for 50,000+ miles!
Over time, tires have become a very problematic source of waste due to their durability and the amounts of space that they occupy in landfills. They are also often placed in tire stockpiles which can become a health and safety hazard due to the possibility of tire fires which can burn for long periods of time and create a large amount of pollution. Through our production process, we are able to recycle millions of tires, thus saving them from a fate of crowded landfills and burning stockpiles. With our rubber flooring, you can rest assured that you're not only purchasing high-quality products. You're also contributing to saving our planet.
Recycled Rubber Flooring– Strong, Beautiful, and Environmentally Conscious.
Recycling consumer tires for use as flooring has more advantages than just creating extremely durable, attractive and resilient rolls and tiles. Using this discarded rubber to create the rolls and tiles helps keep a portion of the nearly 242 million tires discarded each year from landfills. Due to the number of tires used worldwide and their durability, they cause a significant amount of waste when no longer suitable for vehicles. Tires especially are not desired at landfills due to the ley occupy. (Tires are up of 75% void space which quickly consumes valuable landfill area.)
These same characteristics make them an excellent and inexpensive raw material for the production of resilient building materials such as the rolls and tiles sold by companies like Rubberflooringinc.com. In fact, many cities, counties and states even give various types credits in the form of LEED points or tax breaks for using recycled products in construction. There has been a notable shift in the public's attention and effort to protecting the environment. Recycled rubber flooring is a great way to be environmentally conscious along with the benefit of having a floor surface that will outlast carpets and linoleum flooring in most cases.
Rubber flooring has a very wide variety of products and thicknesses and can be used just about anywhere. Popular uses are home and commercial gyms where impact resistance is desirable to protect weights or the subfloor, dog day care and agility courses where grip for the dogs and handlers is a priority or any room where cushion, sound dampening and durability is high on the list. Recycled rubber has also been used for years in horse stalls and grooming areas due to the traction, ease of cleaning and durability. Outdoor play grounds have also begun too used recycled rubber tiles and "pour-in-place" rubber more frequently due to the bright colors and anti microbial qualities the rubber offers.
If you are looking for a way to update, beautify and/or protect your floor or space while doing your part to help the environment, recycled rubber flooring is certainly one of the best choices available.

Physical and Genetic Structure of the Maize Genome Reflects its Complex Evolutionary History. PLoS Genetics. 3(7):e123. Interpretive Summary: Corn (maize) is the most important crop in the United States and one of the most important plant model species for genetic and biological research. An essential resource to move forward with maize research is a complete genome sequence. One requirement for obtaining a complete sequence is the availability of an integrated genetic and physical map. In this manuscript we report on the development of a sequence ready, fingerprinted contig physical map that covers 93.5% of the maize genome. Analysis of the gene positions in the maize physical map relative to that of the rice genome provides evidence for both a recent and ancient polyploidy origin for the maize genome. These results are important to the maize research community as the physical map is the foundation of the current maize whole genome sequencing effort.
Technical Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops and a model for the study of genetics, evolution, and domestication. To better understand maize genome organization and build a framework for genome sequencing, we constructed a sequence ready fingerprinted contig (FPC)-based physical map that covers 93.5% of the genome, of which 86.1% is aligned to the genetic map. The FPC map contains 23,954 gene-containing sequences that enabled us to align nearly 73% of the anchored maize genome to the rice genome. In collinear regions, 1 kb in rice corresponds to an average of 3.2 kb in maize, with the overall 6.2-fold genome size expansion in maize explained by most regions in rice corresponding to two regions of maize resulting from its recent polyploid origin. Inversions account for the majority of chromosome structural variations during subsequent maize diploidization. We also find clear evidence of ancient genome duplication predating the divergence of the progenitors of maize and rice. Reconstructing the paleoethnobotany of the maize genome indicates that the progenitors of modern maize contained 10 chromosomes.

'Dancing With the Stars' Announces Season 15 All-Star Cast
Often when reality shows announce all-star seasons, the "stars" are lackluster C-listers who were eliminated in the third weeks of their runs. Not on "Dancing with the Stars:" The roster for Season 15 includes six winners and at least three runners-up, and many of them are among the most popular celebrities to appear on the show.
When Tom Bergeron bellows "Liiiivvve!" Monday, Sept. 24, from a Southern California ballroom, he will be joined by multiple athletes, a few actors, a reality star and a politician's daughter. They are …
1. Kelly Monaco: first-ever "DWTS" winner, "General Hospital" star
2. Drew Lachey: Season 2 winner, the man behind "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," cited repeatedly in "DWTS" fan polls as the best routine ever
3. Emmitt Smith: Season 3 winner, Twinkle Toes himself
4. Apolo Anton Ohno: Season 4 winner, Olympian, New York Marathoner and Subway pitch man
5. Joey Fatone: Season 4 runner-up and the N*Sync star who will be appearing (Season 7′s Lance Bass won't.)
6. Helio Castroneves: somewhat-controversial winner of Season 5 (Many thought Mel B should have won. She isn't participating here.)
7. Shawn Johnson: winner of the closest vote ever from Season 8
8. Gilles Marini: Season 8 runner-up, everyone's favorite neighbor from the first "Sex and the City" movie
9. Melissa Rycroft: Season 8 finalist (Many "DWTS" viewers, including your recapper, regard the eighth season as the best the show has had.)
10. Pamela Anderson: Season 10′s woman of risqué costumes and the only All-Star not to have made the finals
11. Bristol Palin: Season 11 finalist and the selection likely to garner the most ire
12. Kirstie Alley: A woman who hasn't stopped dancing since she was the runner-up in Season 12
But wait, there's more! This season, viewers can vote to choose the final contestant. The choices are:
1. Sabrina Bryan: Season 5, whose early ouster still gets discussed years after the fact
2. Kyle Massey: Season 11 runner-up. If he's chosen, that could make for interesting times with fellow contestant Bristol: He and his brother recently sued the producers of her Lifetime reality show for copyright infringement.
3. Carson Kressley: Season 13, a fan favorite more than a talented dancer. We guess this means he won't be co-hosting with Tom?
Here's what we don't yet know: the pros. That announcement will come later in August. However, we know for sure that the pairings won't be identical to what they were before, as Cheryl Burke has three former partners dancing (Drew, Emmitt, Gilles) and the pros for four of the stars (Kelly, Apolo, Helio, Pamela) aren't on the show anymore. Will the stars have the same magic when they're paired with someone else, or was it chemistry that ultimately carried the day for them on their first go-round?
Several of the contestants have performed the dances many consider the most memorable of the show's history. Avid viewers won't forget the image of Cheryl on Drew's back in "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" or Helio in the bright yellow suit he wore in one of his final dances, fondly referred to by fans as the "banana suit dance." Of course, with the talent this high, the pressure to choreograph dynamic routines increases, and so, likely, does the injury count.
Some fans are likely hoping for a return of pro Julianne Hough, who won Mirror Ball trophies in her first two seasons on the show with Apolo and Helio. However, she's busy with a music and movie career (she was in the remake of "Footloose" as well as the recent "Rock of Ages") and likely will be too busy to come back.
Her brother Derek, meanwhile, is known for bringing female stars to the semifinals numerous times, but none of the three-time champion's former partners will be back on the show – well, except Brooke Burke-Charvet, who is likely to return as co-host. Derek indicated this week that this season will be his last hurrah. Will "DWTS" producers feel pressure to give him someone especially stellar? How will they incorporate the winners of last season's Design-a-Dance, Tristan MacManus and Chelsie Hightower?
Season 8 boasts the most returning contestants, with the top three from that season – Shawn, Gilles and Melissa – competing against one another again. Shawn's win that season was a surprise to many after Gilles appeared to lead the pack throughout the season, with Melissa close behind him.
One name likely to spark more controversy – especially in an election year, even if her mother isn't running for vice president this time – is Bristol. With her claim to fame among the weakest the show has had— daughter of a politician, thrust into the spotlight after she got pregnant out of wedlock—she lasted longer on the show than many would have expected, which critics suspected was due to political votes from her mother's supporters. Will that happen again this go-round? Has the audience tired of her, based on dismal ratings for her recent Lifetime show? Will viewers not even recognize her after all the plastic surgery she's had?
Of the wild-card contestants, Carson had the shortest time on the show, with a Week 5 elimination. (Sabrina lasted one more week, and Kyle Massey was the runner-up his season.) However, he is likely to garner the most votes thanks to his popularity. Carson has a unique style and strong personality that helped him last longer on the show than his dancing ability on its own would have, and he has made guest appearances several times. He is most well-known for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," which had a broader audience than the Disney Channel shows that featured Kyle and Sabrina.
What stars do you think are missing, readers? Who would you like to see paired up? And of course, who are you rooting for?

Michigan Judge Dismisses Charges Against Activist Who Protested Inside Enbridge's 6B Pipeline
Erin Flegg | January 15, 2014
By Erin Flegg • Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - 11:11
When Kalamazoo activist Chris Wahmhoff walked up to the fourth floor of the Calhoun County Circuit Court on Monday and checked the docket, he found his case sandwiched between three other cases also involving Enbridge — a telling sign of the times.
When Judge James Kingsley started speaking in the courtroom, Wahmhoff thought all was lost. He hung his head and waited, as the five minutes the judge spoke dragged on.
"Then there was just thing magical moment of him saying 'but,' " Wahmhoff says. He lifted his head to hear the judge say he would quash the motion. Wahmhoff immediately jumped from his seat and cheered, accompanied by a room full of supporters.
"Then we were very heavily scolded by the judge, who said they were going to arrest every one of us," he said with a laugh.

About Us
Our Philosophy
Steven Raab: "Ours is the worthy pursuit of history."
Buy fewer things, but make them the highest quality you can. We give this advice regularly and devote the better part of our time searching out the finest and most interesting manuscripts, ones that cannot be found anywhere else, many of which themselves played a formative role in the chronicles of their times. It is the hunt for these treasures of history that has turned a passion into a business, a passion we enjoy sharing.
Nathan Raab: "Understand quality, and by that, I mean the role of rarity, content, beauty, and importance."
QUALITY DEPENDS DIRECTLY ON AN AUTOGRAPH'S CONTENT OR IMPORTANCE, AND QUALITY DEFINES VALUE. We have decades of experience measuring the caliber of an item's content or importance, and that assessment is crucial. How can you measure something as subjective as the degree to which these factors are present? We have developed guidelines, and with some common sense added in, we apply them and share them with clients and those interested in this fascinating field.
An Example
HOW CAN YOU SPOT A SIGNIFICANT LETTER? It is one in which the writer either tells you something of great interest or significance about himself or a primary field of his endeavor, or provides valuable descriptions or information about an important event.
A letter of George Washington saying he is too busy to accept an invitation to dinner says nothing anyone benefits by knowing, so it has just fair content. A letter of Washington about running his plantation at Mount Vernon would be interesting because it is germane to his life, but since Washington is best remembered for his leadership as general and president (and not as a farmer), it would be considered of good quality. A Revolutionary War date letter of Washington ordering troop movements for a battle has excellent content, as it directly relates to his performance as commander of the Continental Army. This last one also played a role in a historical event of consequence and shows Washington engaged in the duties for which he has become immortal.
Interestingly, in some cases, importance may sometimes exist in the absence of content. For example, a signed pay receipt of Meriwether Lewis would have no content, but if it was for his service during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, it would certainly be important.
Keep these principles in mind, ask yourself to what degree every item you buy meets them, and you will find yourself able to confidently build a wonderful and historical collection.
A Passion for History, an Eye for the Exceptional
THIS IS WHAT SEPARATES THE RAAB COLLECTION. We appreciate not only the manuscript but the history that gave it birth. Every piece we carry has its own story to impart, and we cherish that story and attempt to give it voice.

Question: As the number of unrestored Pontiac models diminishes and the values of rare vehicles skyrocket, has there been a decline in the initial quality of project vehicles?
Upon hearing the question, DiMauro replied, "Longevity and the end result are our greatest concerns, so we want to maximize metalwork to minimize body-filler work. We'd prefer to use a vintage N.O.S. panel as a replacement for an unsalvageable piece, but there are so few out there. Used originals aren't really an option either due to the fact that the cars once considered donors are now being restored. So we try to repair original body panels using custom-made patches, but we've also used reproductions depending upon the application."
The limited number of reproduced Pontiac body panels currently on the market leaves many restorers in a bit of a quandary. DiMauro says that from an economic view, installing a reproduction panel is sometimes more costly than repairing an original. "Depending upon the vehicle, the quality of the reproduction body panels can be good. But we've also seen situations where we had to section them just to fit body lines." He is quick to say, however, that not all panels are problematic. "Structural panels, such as the trunk floors and floorpans, are quite good and usually require the least amount of fitting."
When asked which popular Pontiacs seem the toughest to restore DiMauro, replied, "It has to be the '68 GTO. Rust-free '68 decklids are like gold, and the '66 and '67 GTOs aren't far behind. But the '68s have to be the toughest right now. It seems like everything is unique, and nothing is available."
Question: With structural adhesive widely used by auto manufacturers to attach body panels on today's vehicles, is it an option when installing new panels on vintage Pontiacs. Does it offer any advantages or disadvantages over traditional welding?
Answer: General Motors began using structural adhesive on vehicles in the early '90s. Anyone familiar with Firebird models produced during that time can testify to its benefit. In addition to normal welding, the body panels of these models were literally "glued" together, significantly increasing body rigidity and subsequently improving overall build quality.
Since so many new vehicles are built with composite panels, structural adhesive has replaced welding in a number of areas. In many instances, it is used to bond metal panels, too. Wanting to know if structural adhesive is compatible with vintage Pontiacs, we contacted Melvin Benzaquen of Classic Restorations in Pine Island, New York. You may recognize Benzaquen's name from his longtime relationship with HPP as a contributor, but anyone who has seen examples of his work knows that his credentials speak for themselves.
Benzaquen tells HPP that using two-part, epoxy-based structural adhesive to install new body panels has a number of advantages. "We've used it for years without any negative effects. It's widely employed by auto manufacturers today, and '06 crash standards far exceed those of 20 years ago. So that says something about it. But it's also less hazardous than welding, and there is no initial cash outlay to purchase a high-quality welder, welding wire, and gas," he says.
Unlike welding, which can require a lengthy learning process, using structural adhesive is fairly straightforward. It has made fitting body panels easier for restorers, too. "It gives us a little time to adjust the panel while the epoxy sets," says Benzaquen. "And since we aren't heating the metal by welding, there is no metal shrinkage or warping to contend with. That means there is far less grinding to clean welds and smooth body joints, which can translate into cost savings for the customer."
Question: What products available today most closely replicate a Pontiac's original finish, and is durability compromised in any way?
Answer: Anyone who has purchased a vintage Pontiac when new knows that very few vehicles left the factory sporting a mirror-like finish that was blemish-free or without an area of sparse coverage. That means replicating these flaws during a restoration could be considered correct. But since points are not deducted for clearcoated or wet-sanded finishes at points-judged Pontiac gatherings, many owners forego the original appearance and opt for basecoat/clearcoat to give their Pontiac as much luster as possible.
Dave Chalek of Chalek's Auto Body in Bellevue, Nebraska, has been restoring vehicles in his shop since 1989. He learned the technique of flawless paint application working alongside his dad, Bob Sr., from a young age. Anyone who has seen the family's work knows how seriously they take the art of paint and bodywork.
Chalek says that the original finish found on most vintage Pontiacs was lacquer-based. While the availability of lacquer is severely limited today, he feels that the removal of lead from it in recent years has also compromised its durability. "Single-stage urethane with minimal sanding and/or buffing most closely resemble the lacquer finish applied by Pontiac," says Chalek.
Like lacquer, single-stage urethane metallic colors can be difficult to work with. "They can streak or leave blotches," Chalek says. He went on to say that this was a fairly common occurrence when the paint level in the siphon can of the older siphon-fed paint guns got low. But with today's gravity-fed high-volume/low-pressure (HVLP) guns, the situation has greatly improved.
"We prefer to use basecoat/clearcoat when restoring vehicles," Chalek says. "It provides a high gloss and gives the finish lots of depth. But base/clear doesn't necessarily offer additional durability over a single-stage finish." It does, however, have advantages when spot repairs are required. "Unlike a single-stage where an entire panel must be painted, we can usually apply base color to the blemish and then blend the clear into the panel, making the repair practically undetectable," he adds.
Chalek notes that modern finishes are very durable and not nearly as vulnerable to the elements as the originals. They are also virtually maintenance free. After the initial wet-sanding and buffing, they require normal polishing to maintain their luster once the 90-day curing period has elapsed. Unlike a lacquer finish, however, scratches must be removed using a high-speed machine buffer.
Question: What suggestions can an experienced restorer offer to a hobbyist regarding entering the restoration field, starting a restoration business, or restoring a Pontiac at home?
Answer: As values increase on a daily basis, it seems as if everyone hopes to take advantage of the musclecar-market boom. This has created a gross misuse of the term restored. At Jim Mott Restorations in Twin Falls, Idaho, no truer a word is spoken. Mott's work has been featured in HPP and is second to none. With just one look at what rolls from his shop, you'll quickly understand the true meaning of a total restoration.
This question was directed towards Mott because he is an independent restorer with a small shop located in his backyard. He doesn't have a staff of employees that specialize in certain areas of restoration, and rarely has he found a component of the body or drivetrain that he was unable to fix himself. Simply stated, Mott does it all and he does it well.
Mott's first suggestion for newcomers is to keep expenses to a minimum. "It doesn't pay to have a huge shop right from the start. It usually means big bills and high overhead. You'll never begin making money that way," he says. "Start as small and as cheap as you can, even if it means working from a two-car garage. A square jig and rotisserie are great assets when space is tight."
Developing a reputation in an area where a waiting list exists can be very difficult. Mott has found that for a small shop, a true restorer has to perform all the work himself. "You have to be a master mechanic that can assemble and tune engines, set up transmissions and rear gears, and track down electrical problems. But you also have to be equally experienced in paint and bodywork. It's the jobs you farm out, when you become responsible for another person's work, that can get you into trouble."
Mott has found that very few rust-free original projects exist anymore. "Today we must adapt to the situation of restoring parts cars," he says, and in his business, he refuses to use reproduction body panels. Instead, he travels to the West Coast several times throughout the year and gathers original body panels with minimal rust to maintain a complete inventory. His opinion is that without original sheetmetal, a restoration is compromised.
Question: Have there been any recent changes to paint formulation that affect the hobbyist who plans on restoring his Pontiacs at home?
Answer: Numerous rumors of late suggest hobbyists will no longer be able to purchase paint from local automotive-paint suppliers, and it isn't any secret that lacquer-based paints are virtually nonexistent. But what about the future of enamel paint? And how about the legality involved with painting your car at home?
To confirm or dispel some of these rumors, as well as gauge current hobby trends, we contacted Ron Stazzoni of D&R Auto Paint and Supply in Omaha, Nebraska. With over 20 years experience in the industry and as the area's only licensed PPG-supplier, we were confident that Stazzoni could shed a great deal of light on the topic.
Stazzoni started by saying, "Enamels and lacquers are going away. Replacing them are high-solid, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) urethanes. These are much more technical and have less room for error, which will make it tougher for the home restorer. The good news is that they have great durability and can produce fantastic results when applied correctly. In 2008, water-borne products will begin appearing in California. Anyone will be able to purchase them, but their use may be too technical for the average hobbyist."
When asked if he has seen an increase in home restorations, Stazzoni replied, "Yes, we have. Current television shows may have sparked that trend. They make it seem so easy."
Another facet that may fuel this trend is high restoration costs. "People usually get an estimate from a body shop. After getting over the shock, they decide to try it themselves. But once they get into the project, they quickly realize why shops charge so much," he added.
Stazzoni's company offers a number of different paint systems for home hobbyists to choose from. "PPG's Shop Line is one of the newest," he says. "It contains a high-quality resin base at an affordable price. When you consider that a restoration can cost thousands of dollars and that the finish is the first thing a spectator sees, saving a few hundred dollars buying a cheaper system isn't always the best option."
A common area of concern amongst hobbyists is the legal guidelines for painting at home. While thoroughly researching local laws before painting is strongly suggested, "around here, any area over 24-inches square is supposed to be painted in an approved booth," Stazzoni says. "There can also be huge fines for improper disposal of the hazardous waste that is produced. The fumes contain harmful products that can cause serious respiratory problems when inhaled. So investing in a paint respirator is also a good idea."
While there are certainly an infinite amount of questions we could have asked our group of experts, their answers cover a broad spectrum regarding the current state of the hobby as well as its future. Since they are so closely related to the industry, we're confident they are on the cutting edge of current trends. So no matter how you perceive automotive restorations and paint and body in particular, like any other facet of the hobby, it too is constantly changing. If we as hobbyists don't adapt, there's little hope for our future.

Named after Virginian statesman Richard Bland, RBC was established in 1960 by the Virginia General Assembly as a branch of the College of William and Mary and is under the umbrella of "the Colleges of William and Mary". The "Colleges" system lasted only two years, but Richmond Bland continued as a junior college of the College of William and Mary. Though under its own administration, Richard Bland College is governed by William and Mary's Board of Visitors.
Richard Bland College was established to provide the first two years of college education, after which a successful student would transfer to William & Mary or to another of the four-year colleges in the Commonwealth. To this end, Richard Bland College has formal credit transfer agreements with twenty Virginia colleges, including The College of William & Mary, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University, George Mason University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and Virginia State University In the autumn of 2008, Richard Bland College became the only two-year college in the state of Virginia to offer campus housing. The residence halls, Freedom Hall and Patriot Hall, offer Richard Bland College students apartment-style living accommodations. The combined capacity of both Patriot and Freedom Halls is approximately 350 students. To maintain the academic atmosphere that the College desires to foster in its living areas, there is a 2.5 GPA requirement for all incoming students who wish to live on campus.
Formerly a large dairy farm, the 750 acre rural campus is located on the border of Prince George and Dinwiddie Counties, just south of Petersburg. The campus features a large grove of century old pecan trees, a restored turn-of-the-20th century farm house that now serves as the president's home, and an early 20th century dairy barn (now used as a theater).
Students have access to a library with over 67,000 books, over 64,000 e-books, and over 4,700 DVDs (most from an anonymous donor), and the Virtual Library of Virginia, which provides access to many full-text journal databases for students both on-campus and of-campus.

13 Questions About the DCU Reboot
DC's announcement that it's planning to relaunch fifty-plus titles with new continuity and new #1s in September prompts a number of observations on reboots and renumberings from the past. After so many months of talking about prices in the comics industry, it's a nice change of pace to talk about a different number on the cover.One thing we quickly see when looking at past reboots and renumberings is that they're different in many ways, enough that generalization becomes difficult. DC's particular move, for example, is the largest linewide renumbering we've ever seen. (Acclaim, which renumbered just about everything from the Valiant line in 1996-97, is dwarfed by this example.) DC's move is further not just new numbering, but reportedly new continuity — a separate phenomenon that nonetheless usually coincides with new numbering. John Byrne's Superman: The Man of Steel in 1986 represented a continuity reboot, under a new title; the new continuity was eventually reflected in the other Superman titles which were not renumbered. (The existing Superman title was later renamed Adventures of Superman to permit a new Byrne Superman series — but the original series continued its numbering, and in fact, changed back to Superman with #650.)
