He fell…… under……….. her spell PFFFFFF
@mavisproblem I'm sorry this took so long!!! I don't think Tumblr notified me that you reblogged my post back in August, so I didn't see your comment until much later. I hope you like it anyway <:)

Idk I feel it's a little to much for the soft hearted lol. I mean its cute but it dose involve hot moments. Anyway enjoy.
It was nighttime and he was tired from the party they had just attended. He announced to all of his workers that will soon start cutting down a few trees to make a bit more faster for everyone. After all He was a millionaire, he could replace new trees where the fallen ones once stood. No harm feelings, right? Oh just how wrong he was. The second he announced such a thing to everyone during his toast, Norma was beyond infuriated, and she wouldn't go down without a fight.
He stood there in the dark room the only thing that illuminated them was the bright moonlight. His arms were crossed just staring into the deep space. His coat and top hat were settled down on the bed where she sat, arms and legs crossed. Furry was written in her eyes as she stared him down.
She saw the bags on his eyes and oh how tired he seemed.In her heart she wanted him to come over and rest on their brand new Cal King bed, she was just as tired as he was. But her stubbornness would just not allow her to do so.
He began to sigh as he saw there was no way to get out this mess. He knew it was wrong, but it was for the good of the company. She loved trees that he knew and didn't want to ruin all of them, just a few but he knew in, the second he did so, she will never forgive him.
He began to undo his tie and unbutton his shirt, debating in his mind what to do. He turned to look at her, and how mad she looked at him. His blue eyes were fixed on her. How adorable she looked angry at him. he just wanted to kiss her. He snickered at his thought.
"Just what's so funny?" She questioned him making her even more mad than she already was.
"Nothing." He sighed putting his hands in his pocket. It was his turn to stare her down. And my, what a sight he was to her. He felt like running towards her, showering her in kisses and loving every single ounce of her body.
The pout her lips made was just enough to jump in bed with her. He just loved it when she was mad, she looked so sexy to him. he would never admit aloud. he still just as shy as ever. But he knew that his girl was the sexiest thing in the planet when she was this pissed at him.
She threw a pillow at him for staring at her like that. Dodging the pillow he began to laugh, making her even more mad. Anything that she could find she would throw at him. he got hit a couple of times bruising him slightly, damn how good her aim was. he manage to crawl towards her. She protest at him, punching him in the chest for still laughing after hitting him with things.
He managed to lift her up, as she squirmed and punched him to let her go. "Don't touch me. LET ME DOWN!!! NOW ONCE LER!!!"
He got her right he wanted her, the second she said his name properly. His urge could no longer resist. He flipped her onto the bed pinning her down, continuing her fight to escape his grasp. She hated it when he got her so mad that she would end up in his arms one way or another. She hated that she can never stay mad at him for so long. She hated it all.
She kept on fighting her way out of his grasp. He was so stronger than her, but he made sure that he was not hurting her. Smiling at her hissy fit she was having, until she puffed out in defeat.
"Are you done? Or do you plan on carrying on with your little tantrum." He sassed her.
"NO I AM NOT DONE YOU FOOL! Let me GO!" She growled.
"You see I can't" He smirked
"Why So."
"Why it's quite simple when I see something I Like, I won't just can't let it go. I need to have it. I am just that greedy."
" You jerk." She spat at him
"And you're an angel that fell from heaven." He said smoothly. " What if I said that I put a lot of thought to it and I won't cut any trees down, and I let you go, will you promise to behave?"
" I won't make any promises, and Don't you DARE tell me what to do."
"Oh But I can." His eyes twinkle making her face
" SAYS WHO!" She yelled trying to wiggle out once again.
" Says I, your Husband." He snickered.
"Since you are my husband, and I am you wife. I'm telling you to get OFF!"
"No." getting closer to her face.
"GET O-." He began to kiss her lips letting go of her hands, putting his weight on top of her, making sure he would hurt her. Her fists began to punch him, gasping and yelping in his mouth to get off of her. But as always he got his way. She just could never resist his affection. Slowly her punches became into strokes in his soft, raven hair. She felt his smile against her lips, making her fire up again.
"I hate you." Breaking the kiss looking into his blue eyes.
"Aww, Babe I love you too." Pecking her lips, until they kissed passionately. The fell into their little world of love like they always did after a fight, making love all through the night. Cuddling in the warmth of their blankets. Their legs tangled together.
Once ler kept his promise with Norma, and never cut down any of the trees. But he always found ways to enrage her with something so small. Just to see that fire in her eyes that always took him to bliss.
"I dare you to name a more iconic moment than grammy norma yoinkin the empty ohare air container with her cane"
I don't understand shipping wars..why not both? i'll take all the ships!!
A little doodle of Normaler I did while rewatching the lorax with my little sis. I miss drawing them.
Diamonds, pearls, Designer clothing, the amazing trips, and all the luxury she could ever possibly imagined was given to her without a second thought. She Loved how he shower her with all these amazing gifts, trips to the spas, all the fabulous parties. But it was not what she wanted. It never was. She missed him dearly, since the day he got consumed by his greed. He was never had the time for her like they used to, didn't kiss her the same anymore, everytime she looked in the eye all she would see is those celestial orbs glisten in cold, hunger lust,he no longer carried those sweet, loving protection eyes she was so used to. It was never the same anymore she was always after his business now a days. She hated it.
She stood there in her silk robe, in their master bedroom, looking outside the window. She saw the destruction she warned him from the start. She loved those trees along with the animals that lived within the forest. All those special memories they once shared, where now disintegrated along with him. Tears fell down her soft cheek, as she recalled all those lost memories how she longed for them to return. she would give up all these luxuries just to have his old self back. she longed for his sweet touch, his loving kisses, and his simple words that would make her melt to butter.
She walked away towards the her bed where her she had placed her brand new dress that she was to wear for tonight's gala that he had announced for all the sales he had made with the last few months. She stared down at the fabric in utter hatred. Never in her life would she have imagined that she would hate blue, her favorite color in the world since the day he told her how beautiful she looked in that shade. The dress was lovely, she could not lie but the shoulder off dress burned her soul to the core.
She had no choice. If it made him happy she would do it. After all she did love him for what he was worth. 'But did he?'
She stopped dead in tracks as she thought of that horrid question. Of course he did love her! How dare she think such a thing. Rubbing the rich cocoa butter, imported from europe, she began to get herself ready. She knew how angry he gets when she was not prepared. She adjusted her undergarments under her towel as she reached for the dress. My how lovely did she honestly look in the dress. it framed her curves perfectly, as if it was made for her. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. How ashamed she felt with herself. As much he told her that she was worth everything and much more, it felt wrong. it was never her. she was a simple soul, she was fine with the flowers he would give her, the sweet songs he would sing to her, the sweet pastries he would make her. That was the only things that ever satisfied her, not material stuff.
She walked to her vanity after adding on her black pumps as she began to do her hair into a elegant bun. She open the cabinet of the vanity where she grazed for her pearls that he gifted her for their first year anniversary. Adjusting her earrings, to her surprise she didn't feel the the gloved hands that were behind her fix the pearls around her neck. Once the necklace was placed around her neck she felt the hands fall upon her shoulders. She looked up to the mirror to stare at the man she once knew look at her with hunger and not with love. He traced his fingers on her blades feeling her flinch under his touch. He was no fool he knew at times when things were not quite right. He reached for her hand as he made her stand before him. Twirling her to gaze upon her beauty. My what a sight she was and how small and fragile she looked as he towered over her. She did not dare look him on the eyes for the pain was to much to bare. And for a weird reason he knew.
He removed his glove from his right hand. He gently lifted her head to look up at him. Her heart skipped a beat at this simple touch filled her with joy she had been longing for. She kept her eyes shut, taking in that wanted moment for so long as she rubbed his hand as it touched her face. He still knew something was wrong, he caressed her cheek with his thumb as he got closer to her. She finally felt that warmth that had be absent for so long. She kept his hand close to her face as she got closer to him placing her small hand on his chest. Still her eyes were closed. It pained him that she wouldn't look at him like she always did. He became more persistent as cupped her face, till he saw those chestnut eyes.
She saw the pain she had endured him for not looking at him and giving him that comfort smile she gave everyday even in these kinds of conditions she was living in. she felt him. Her man, the one she fell in love with, the man who was silly and awkward yet loving. He smiled that loving smile and she felt that love she had longed for so long. It no longer was lust. But his actual undying love for her. He bended lower to her face where he placed those familiar kisses on her sweet lips. The feeling of falling for eachother all over again.
She pulled him closer to her. As they fell to
the floor, turning their kiss into those endless laughter fits the would always have. They stood up hand in hand as they began to walk out towards the grand hall in the west wing of the mansion. Their smile went notice that they felt like the good old days. All those moments felt like they have entered their system as they walked hand in hand. She knew that there was still that love for one another. And know she believed his words on how much she was worth to him. Even though she was better off without the material things in life and to just have moments with him like they just did then she can finally be happy again.
But at always he showered her in gifts. But she was in for a surprise to this recent gift he had up his sleeve. After a grand toast to all the workers and himself he stopped everyone again and announced to everyone to, the apple of his and his right hand was and always be her.
She stood there in shock as he got on bended knee and in front of the world he held her left hand, holding the beautiful diamond ring in black velvet box, as her asked her the only words she dreamed of since their first set of I love you. To become his wife was the ultimate gift she could have ever wanted. Tears filled her eyes for the second time that day. Not giving the slightest care as she threw herself to him making them fall again but instead of laughing, they kissed with deep passion as the crowd cheered and the newly engaged couple.

DRIL (Distal revascularization-interval ligation) is a surgical method of treating vascular access steal syndrome.
DRIL was first proposed by Harry Schanzer and colleagues in 1988. [1]
A short distal bypass is created and the artery just distal to the AV anastomosis is ligated.

The present invention relates to a block compression algorithm.
A dictionary coder, also sometimes known as a substitution coder, is any of a number of lossless data compression algorithms which operate by searching for matches between the text to be compressed and a set of strings contained in a data structure (called the 'dictionary') maintained by the encoder. When the encoder finds such a match, it substitutes a reference to the string's position in the data structure. Commonly used algorithms such as LZ77/78, LZW, LZO, DEFLATE, LZMA and LZX are geared towards finding small repetitions in the data that is to be compressed.
The problem with the aforementioned dictionary coders is that they build a dictionary of sequences of bytes processed, where each such sequence is assigned a codeword. Generally there is an upper limit on the number of code words that can be used. When all code words have been assigned to sequences of bytes the algorithm must decide how to proceed when it wants to add a new sequence to the dictionary. In many cases the algorithm will simply reset the mapping of code words to sequences of bytes and restarts the compression process of the rest of the data as if the first part of the data had never been processed. This situation is triggered when there is a sufficiently large sequence of bytes with very little repetition of data.
When trying to compress a print stream using one of the aforementioned dictionary coders one may find that the dictionary coder resets quite often. Typically this occurs when there are large amounts of image and font data included in the print stream. Each time the dictionary coder processes some image data it will run out of code words and perform a reset. This causes the dictionary coder to forget any sequences it has seen before the image data which may actually repeat itself after the image data. More importantly it also forgets the sequences found in the image data. The next time the dictionary coder hits an image (even if the image was an exact copy of the previous image encountered) it is treated by the dictionary coder as new data resulting in very little compression of the print stream.
Unfortunately many print streams actually contain large amounts of repeated data as each page of the print stream is generated from a template (either manually or automatically) that include similar text (such as address info, salutation, etc.) and imagery (such as logos or signatures). For instance in a direct mail application each page of the print stream may be a letter to a potential customer. Typically such letters are generated from a template where the only variable parts are the address and the salutation. Therefore the main text and imagery (logos, signatures, product photos, etc.) are often exactly the same for every recipient. Each page in the print stream will therefore have a large amount of text and image data encoded that is exactly the same on each page. It should therefore be possible and advantageous to compress such files considerably.
It is not uncommon that a print stream contains the print data for thousands of recipients. Storing such files on hard disk before sending them to the printer may therefore require large amounts of storage (without compression). Transferring such a print stream via a network to the printer may also take quite a while depending on the available network bandwidth. Although it is not uncommon for (internal) networks to use 100 Mbit or 1 Gbit connections, the network connections between multiple geographically separated locations have bandwidth limits imposed on them for cost reasons. Compressing the print stream may therefore be the only viable solution to transferring files across a bandwidth limited network in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable cost.
Thus, the present invention provides a method for compressing a data stream containing large blocks of identical data, as well as the compressed stream of data itself.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer-implemented method for encoding a data stream, said method comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving said data stream;
(b) providing a 6 byte window for said data stream;
(c) examining the first three bytes of said window;
(d) determining if the first three bytes of said window has a corresponding entry in a lookup table;
(e) storing a position in the data stream of the first three bytes of said window in the lookup table if the lookup table does not include an entry corresponding to the first three bytes of said window;
(f) if the lookup table includes an entry corresponding to the first three bytes of said window, modifying the entry to include a binary tree of 6 byte sequences each beginning with the same three bytes and associating each 6 byte sequence included in the binary tree with a respective position in the data stream where the 6 byte sequence was found;
(g) if the lookup table already contains a binary tree of 6 byte sequences, determining if a 6 byte sequence currently in the window is present in the binary tree contained in the lookup table;
(h) if the 6 byte sequence currently in the window is not present in the binary tree contained in the lookup table, modifying the binary tree contained in the lookup table to associate the 6 byte sequence currently in the window with a current position in the data stream;
(i) if the 6 byte sequence currently in the window is present in the binary tree contained in the lookup table, determining a length of a matching portion by reading first data from a first location in the data stream at which the 6 byte sequence currently in the window was found and comparing the first data with second data following the 6 bytes currently in the window, and storing the length of the matching portion in the tree and assigning a codeword to the sequence of bytes in the matching portion;
(j) if the 6 byte sequence currently in the window already has an associated length and the length of the matching portion is greater than zero and less than the associated length, the length of a codeword assigned to the 6 byte sequence currently in the window is shortened in accordance with the length of the matching portion;
(h) continuing processing at a location in the data stream of a next non-matching byte until the data stream has been fully processed,
wherein the method is performed by a computer programmed to perform steps (a)-(h). In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided a computer-implemented method for compressing a data stream based on three byte sequences, the method comprising: assigning each three byte sequence a codeword with a location and a length of a data associated with the codeword; and when a three byte sequence is located in the data stream, building a binary tree of 6 byte sequences each beginning with the same three bytes, associating each 6 byte sequence with a position in the data stream where the 6 byte sequence is found, so that when the length of a codeword word is changed, a byte sequence is emitted that identifies the code word being changed and the length of the codeword is updated, so that when a match is found, a byte sequence is emitted that identifies a codeword associated with the matched data, wherein the method is performed by a computer programmed to perform the method.
The present invention will be better understood after having read a description of a preferred embodiment thereof, made in reference to the following drawings in which:
The present invention concerns a compression scheme that allows the compression of print streams (but is not limited in application to print streams). This algorithm uses the fact that any given sequence of 3 bytes has a statistically low probability (1 in 16 million) of occurring in random data and that any sequence of 6 bytes has an even lower probability (1 in 281 trillion) of occurring in random data. The print stream is processed byte for byte using 6 bytes of look ahead. The first 3 bytes of look ahead are used to lookup whether this sequence of 3 bytes has been seen before (see
If the 6 bytes of look ahead represent a 6 byte sequence that has already been processed by the compression algorithm, the following matching process starts:
The compressed print stream is generated "on the fly" and consists of blocks of data interspersed with code word definition and usage sequences (see
Further compression of the output can be achieved by passing the blocks of unmatched data to a dictionary coder. The dictionary coder will find small repetitions and will not be disturbed by the large sequences of repeating data (as these were filtered out of the data passed to the dictionary coder), thereby reducing the number of resets.
Decompression of data compressed the above algorithm proceeds as follows:
The data assigned to the code word is read and appended to the output. As this point this data may be added to a cache to reduce (disk) read operations.
The block compression algorithm can be easily modified to allow the code words and their associated data to be persistent. This may be advantageous when in stead of sending one large print stream; many smaller print streams are used. This may occur in distributed printing, where documents are printed on demand at the point of sale. Examples of such documents are statements, bills and rental agreements. As each document is build from a template, each of the generated print streams will contain the same sequences of data. This may also be advantageous for print streams generated from non-templated documents that adhere to a corporate house style, as these documents are often required to contain certain imagery (such as logo's and signatures) and text (such as company address info, disclaimers, salutations). The device setup code included in each print stream will also often be the same and can therefore be compressed.
The compressing and decompressing system can work together such that they each store the repeating sequences of data and agree upon a code word for each such sequence.
The compressing system can incorporate cached sequences of data into its lookup tables by:
If the compressing and decompressing system process each cached entry in a predefined order (for instance sorted by the unique 6 byte sequence associated with the cached data) they will assign the same code words to the same data. As long as both systems maintain the same set of cached items, the code words can be safely used in compression and decompression.
A bi-directional communication protocol between compressing and decompressing system can be used to ensure that the set of cached items is the same on both systems.
One method would be for the compressing and decompressing systems to maintain a MD5 checksum over all the cached data (processed in the predefined order used to assign code words). Using the MD5 checksum the systems can quickly establish whether they have the same set of cached items. If a difference is detected, the compressing system could send the decompressing system the correct set of cached items, before proceeding with sending the compressed print stream.
Printer Centric Compression and Decompression
Some page description languages (or print technologies) have the capability to store and recall partial page descriptions. Examples are PCL (which support macros) and PostScript (which supports forms and reusable object streams). These capabilities can be used to implement the decompression step of the block compression algorithm without the need of a separate decompression system. Some printers have capabilities to run user-defined programs on their systems using various API's such as MEAP (for Canon devices), SDK/J (for Ricoh devices), CHAI (for HP devices), etc. These technologies could also be used to allow printer-centric decompression.
For PDL based decompression to work the original print stream must be in a page description language (PDL) that supports printer based decompression (such as PCL or PostScript). The block compression algorithm must be slightly modified to:
The input processing stage of the block compression algorithm can be modified to allow a filter to determine at which locations a block may start or end. Only at these locations the block compression algorithm should process the 3 and 6 byte sequences to find matching data. In the matching phase the same filter can be used to modify the length of the found match before it is stored to ensure that the end position of the matched data is in a location that the filter allows a block to end at.
Output Encoding for Printer Centric Decompression
To define a sequence of data as reusable in a PDL one must generally precede the data with commands to setup storage of the data that follows. This differs from the default method used in the block compression algorithm, where the decompressing system is expected to buffer the decompressed output until decompression is complete (see
One of two approaches can be used:
The second approach has the advantage of being able to send the output to the printer while compressing the output, but also has the disadvantage that the data that makes up a cached item is included twice in the output stream (see
A variant of the two approaches is also possible by limiting the amount of output buffering in the compression system to a large enough size. This may cause some reusable items to be defined using the first approach and some using the second approach depending on whether the part of the output stream that already contains the cacheable data is still in the output buffer or not.
Please note that for PDL's that support persisting cache items (such as PCL and PostScript printers with permanent storage devices), it is also possible to compress across multiple print streams as described earlier. The compressing system must then use device-specific methods or user-intervention to ensure that the cached items remain synchronized with the printer.
Depending on the PDL used the second level of compression as described in the block compression algorithm may or may not be possible. This depends on whether the PDL supports compression. For instance, PostScript printers do support various compression algorithms such as LZW and Flate and may therefore yield a better overall compression than for instance a PCL printer that does not.

A couple of local trips on Sunday; - really just whiling away the time until migration kicks off. I did my second walk round my second tetrad; its mainly farm land, but there's a golf course and hotel, and a few shooting woods and brooks, so its hard work getting a representative number.
Highlight was a Woodcock which clattered away from near my feet from some rough ground behind the hotel; I assume this had been previously flushed from a local wood by the shooting that was going on. Otherwise a few Yellowhammers were singing across the area, and sizeable flocks of Crows and Rooks.
Then the afternoon at SLRS with Steve. We saw 11 Bullfinches in a bush – yes 11. An excellent number for this time of year, and an indicator that the species is in good health round here. Otherwise more Yellowhammers, 5 Lapwing on the scrape, 5 Meadow Pipits flew round as dusk fell then dropped into some rough ground to roost, and all the while a constant flow of WoodPigeons and Jackdaws into the Osier bed in Pishiobury park. By the time we left the trees were laden; a most impressive sight.
here's the OS map of the tetrad.

Koufax Benches Dodgers
Jewish pride across the baseball world swelled back in 1965,when the legendary Sandy Koufax decided to observe Yom Kippur rather than pitchfor the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series against the MinnesotaTwins.
But the Hall of Fame pitcher proved unforgiving recently,when a gossip item in the New York Post intimated that he was gay. The Post isowned by the News Corp., controlled by multimedia magnate Rupert Murdoch, whoalso happens to own the Dodgers.
Through a friend, the always very private Koufax, now 67,declared that he would no longer assist any Murdoch-owned enterprise and wastherefore severing his 48-year-long relationship with the Dodgers.
After 12 seasons with the Dodgers, in New York and Los Angeles, from 1955-1966, Koufax has held a variety of minor league pitchingpositions with the club. He also announced that he would no longer attend theDodgers spring training camp in Vero Beach, Fla., where he has been a regularfor decades.
Among the many friends and admirers expressing their sorrowat the break was the Dodgers All-Star right fielder Shawn Green, who emulated Koufaxin 2001, when he skipped the last game of a series against the San FranciscoGiants to spend the holiest day of the year in a local shul.
"This is really a shame," Green told the Los Angeles Times."Sandy is a great man, and he did so much for the organization, but he meantmuch more than just wearing the uniform.
"I've always paid close attention to [Koufax] because he's aman of principle and he's lived his life the right way," Green added. "He feelsvery strongly about his beliefs, which is only one of the many reasons I admirehim."
In a rare victory for the good guys in a publicity-obsessedworld, the Post has retracted the story and apologized for "getting it wrong."

NEW YORK – A black man who took hostages in a bar and told the patrons that "white people are going to burn tonight" was convicted Thursday of attempted murder, assault and other crimes.
Steven Johnson, 39, showed no emotion after the jury, which deliberated a week, found him guilty of more than 50 crimes, some of them designated hate crimes that are punished more severely than other offenses.
Johnson invaded Bar Veloce, in Manhattan'sEast Village area, while nine men and six women were inside early June 16, 2002. He was carrying three pistols, a samurai sword and a container of kerosene. He warned, "White people are going to burn tonight."
He later told police he left the housing project in Brooklyn where he lived and took a subway train to the East Village, where he looked for "happy" white people to avenge the mistreatment of black people.
He shot and wounded three people, including a police officer, and sprayed kerosene on several customers and threatened to set them on fire. Two women caught Johnson off guard and tackled him, and a policeman shot him.
Sentencing was set for March 21.
Defense lawyer Michele Galernt conceded in her closing statement that Johnson did what prosecutors charged, but she said he was delusional and a borderline psychotic and should not be held criminally responsible.

When you're drowning in bills, bankruptcy can be the lifebuoy you need to get out from under burdensome debt. But there's more than one type of bankruptcy, and you'll want to understand each of so that you can select the best option for you. Whether you file for Chapter 7, 13, or 11 bankruptcy will depend on your income, assets, and what you're trying to accomplish by filing the case.
Bankruptcy Overview
The bankruptcy system was created under federal law to help individuals and businesses get a fresh start. A case begins with the filing of official bankruptcy paperwork (called a petition) in the bankruptcy court. In the petition, you disclose financial information, including your income, property, debts, and prior financial transactions.
Just because you tell the court about all of your assets doesn't mean that you have to give up everything that you own, however. You're allowed to keep (exempt) a certain amount of property. How much property you can keep varies according to the laws of your state.
Also, even though you must include all debts in your bankruptcy, too, not all debts get wiped out (discharged). You'll remain responsible for nondischargeable debts—meaning that you'll still have to pay them after your case ends. Examples of nondischargeable debts include alimony, child support, student loans, court-ordered restitution, and certain types of taxes.
(Learn more in Nondischargeable Debts: Debts You Can't Discharge in Bankruptcy.)
Bankruptcy Chapters 7, 11, and 13
You'll want to understand the problems each bankruptcy chapter works best to solve before making your choice. Because bankruptcy law is complicated, you'll likely want to consult with an attorney when deciding what type to file.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In Chapter 7 or liquidation bankruptcy, you keep your exempt property. The bankruptcy trustee—the official tasked with overseeing your case—conducts the sale of your nonexempt property and gives the money from the sale to your creditors. At the end of the case, the court issues a discharge.
The reasons that you might choose to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are too numerous to list; however, you might choose this type if you:
- don't have nonexempt property
- don't earn more income than the qualifying amount (means test)
- don't mind if the trustee sells your nonexempt property, or
- have irregular income that's insufficient to support a plan.
In most Chapter 7 cases, debtors don't have any nonexempt assets that the trustee can sell. These "no-asset" cases conclude quickly and are less expensive than other forms of bankruptcy.
(Find out more by reading Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Basics.)
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
In Chapter 13 or wage earner's bankruptcy, you can keep all of your nonexempt property. However, you must agree to repay your creditors a certain amount every month for three to five years, depending on how much money you make and how much the property is worth (it must be an amount equal to the value of any nonexempt property that you keep). After completing the repayment plan, any dischargeable debt balances will get wiped out.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers some benefits that aren't available in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. For instance, you can catch up on secured debt payments (such as mortgage or vehicle payments) in Chapter 13 bankruptcy by repaying the overdue amount through your plan. Since there is no repayment plan possible in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your only choices are to catch up all missed payments in one lump sum ("redemption") or relinquish the property to the creditor ("surrender"). You can also repay nondischargeable debts through your Chapter 13 plan, which, in some cases, can buy you more time than a creditor would allow outside of bankruptcy.
Choosing to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be a good idea if you:
- want to keep property that you would lose in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- make enough money to repay some of your debt (and therefore don't qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy)
- need to stretch out payments on a nondischargeable debt, or
- want to keep a house or car by catching up on arrearages.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy also has some drawbacks. People often find it challenging to stick to a repayment plan lasting three to five years. This form of bankruptcy is also more expensive and more complicated that Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
(For further details, read Chapter 13 Wage Earner Bankruptcy Basics.)
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
There are debt limits in Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If the amount of debt exceeds the cap, you won't qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and instead, will have to turn to an individual Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, this chapter is very expensive and paperwork-intensive, so it is usually wise to explore all other options with a bankruptcy lawyer first.
(You can learn more about this chapter in What Is an Individual Chapter 11 Bankruptcy?)
Questions for Your Attorney
- What type of bankruptcy would be best for my situation?
- Is any of my property nonexempt and, if so, should I file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
- If I file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, how much will my Chapter 13 plan payments be?

Ratings: (USA) T / (UK) PG / (AUS) PG
Spoilers: "The Fall Issue," season three, episode 24.
Show Disclaimer: The character of "Ugly Betty" are derived from "Yo so Betty, la fea," which was created by Fernando Gaitan. The following companies produce the show: Silent H Prod/Ventanarosa Productions/Touchstone Television in association with Reveille Productions and it is presented by ABC television. The Executive - Co-Executive producers are: Salma Hayek, Silvio Horta, Marco Pennette, Ben Silverman, James Hayman and Jose Tamez.
Author's Disclaimer: Let's face it, I don't own UB or any of the characters, back story, etc. I'm not making a cent from it - if I did, I'd buy a new computer and some other things. The story; along with any original characters are mine though... I think. Darn those pesky copyright laws.
Author's Notes: I have to say I wasn't happy with this story in its original form, which was actually much longer than the story you're about to read. A friend of mine listened as I read it over the phone, I was right I had let it go further than it needed to. So you won't have to read the three or four extra pages – trust me, the story works better without them, because to tell the truth, I wasn't "Feeling" it the longer the story went on.
* * *
Daniel did not say a word.
I could see it in his eyes – how sad, yet bright with tears he had not cried. We looked at each other and he stood up from the front steps and my arms opened automatically.
I felt his arms around me as he held on. He grabbed with an intensity I had only felt when his father had passed away.
Daniel's grief was mine.
He opened his soul to me and I knew I would never forget this moment. I should have known something was wrong.
I should have felt "something."
Daniel kept asking for Molly after he accepted his award. He was absolutely certain that he'd seen Molly standing behind her.
The frantic way he rushed from the ceremony.
I should have known.
I was too wrapped up.
In his award, his achievement.
My promotion.
Marc's disappointment.
I could not see his pain.
His anguish.
The realization that crossed his face when he must have known something was wrong.
I can never know how he felt when he arrived to find the paramedics taking Molly's body away on the stretcher.
I only know I went to him as soon as I read his text: I need you. Daniel.
I did not have any thoughts about Matt – or Henry. The job I'd lost before I had a chance to enjoy sitting in the editors' chair.
"I need you."
Daniel needed me...
To hold on to him, to promise Molly that I would look after him, a promise I had kept not only for Daniel's father, but myself as well.
To help make the decisions he won't know how to make.
"I need you."
He will always need me in some fashion, I tell myself cringing slightly at the unintended pun.
Daniel's body shakes – I simply hold tighter knowing this is what he needs right now. He's not up for questions; he's not ready to face the barrage of news media once they find out.
I hold him until I feel his embrace loosen.
My arms relax although I don't completely release my hug I pull back slightly, gently running my hands up and down his arms.
I can see his Adam's apple bobbing up and down he wants to speak but cannot. My hand reaches up and I touch his cheek. "We'll get through this Daniel," I whisper.
He nods.
"Do you want to go upstairs?"
He looks behind him to the apartment he shared with Molly. He swallows. "I... I can't."
"Ok," I tell him. I loop my arm in his and I lead him to the limo that brought him. Opening the door, Daniel silently enters.
"Jeff, can you take us home please?"
"Sure thing Miss Suarez. I'm really sorry about Mrs. Meade, would you tell him that?"
I smile and give him a quick hug. "Thank you Jeff, I will and there's no rush."
He nods and waits for me to get into the car.
I enter the darken interior of the limo and sit down. I hear the engine start and the limo drives off.
Tears fall down Daniel's cheeks – he rubs his eyes turning away from me as if he has hide, now that the first agonizing moments had passed.
I touched his hand.
He takes it and squeezes.
The End.

Home Selling Tips >
Savvy Ways to Save on Real Estate Fees When Selling your Home
Reduced prices have become a reality for many sellers, but even so there are some
ways you can slash real estate fees when selling your home and still be able to keep more money
in your pocket. One of the most important things sellers today must understand about the current
market is the importance of appropriately pricing their home. Price it too low and buyers will
wonder what's wrong with it. Price it too high and they'll steer away from it as well. Although
hitting the right price is important, sellers also need to focus less on the price they ask for
their home and look more at the net profit they receive when selling.
Most home sellers pay real estate commissions to agents that are involved in both
sides of the real estate transaction. Although real estate commissions do vary according to location
and agency, in most cases they range between 5% and 6% of the total sales price. This means that most
offices usually earn about 2.5% of the sale once the commission is split. If the agent must split the
commission for their side of the deal with the office or broker, which is common, they earn even less.
One of the best methods sellers can save on real estate fees and retain more of the
profit when their home sales is to find ways in which they can pay less in fees.
Negotiating the
realtor's commission is one way to do this. Ideally, it is always a good idea for sellers to interview a minimum
of three real estate agents before making a decision. Don't shy away from asking about discounts on the
commission when interviewing prospective agents. Keep in mind that some agents will be agreeable to the
idea while others will not. Whether they are agreeable to a reduced commission can depend upon how quickly
they think your home may sell and also the price range of the home.
Another option that can allow you to save on real estate fees when selling your home is
to work with what is known as a reduced-fee agent. There are now many brokerages that have opened that
charged lower fees for sellers while keeping a buyer's agent commission in place. Overall, this can save
sellers about 25% of the typical overall commission. When your home does sell, this can potentially save
you hundreds of dollars; if not more in commission fees. At the same time, you are still able to benefit
from the full range of services offered by having an agent represent your home.
You can also save on real estate fees by negotiating a flat-fee listing with the agent in
advance. A flat-fee listing service allows you to have your home listed in the
Multiple Listing Service or MLS.
This will provide exposure for your home to other realtors in the area. Beyond the fee that you pay for
the flat-fee service, which might be a few hundred dollars, the only other fee you would need to pay would be
that of the commission for the buyer's agent.
Of course, if you really want to save on real estate fees when selling your home would be to
sell it on your own without a real estate agent. Known as
For Sale by Owner or FSBO, this is an option that
many sellers first consider when they decide to put their home on the market. Keep in mind that when you do
sell your home without an agent, you will be responsible for obtaining all of your own marketing items as well
as the advertising and showing the home; all of which can involve some expense. You can always take advantage
of different services to assist you, such as a flat-fee MLS listing. Remember as well that if you end up selling
the home with the assistance of a buyer's agent, you will be responsible for paying the commission to that agent.
Even so, if you do not mind handling the advertising and marketing for your home and you have the time to show it
to prospective buyers, this can be a good way to save a lot in fees.
Ultimately, it is important to make sure you carefully choose the way in which you will sell
your home so that you can save the most money possible while still receiving the services you need. Saving money
is important, but not if it means that your home sits on the market for months on end.

115.6mph Not Guilty After Trial
Kept Licence
Our client was charged with driving at a speed exceeding 70mph, namely 115.6mph on the A9 Stirling to Perth Road. It perhaps goes without saying that this type of speed, if convicted, would have resulted in an inevitable period of disqualification. We identified a technical line of defence which resulted in our client being found not guilty after trial.

Eliminate Debt Without Bankruptcy
The Differences of Secured vs. Unsecured Debt
Unsecured debt, unlike secured debt, is debt without any collateral. So a creditor that provides you with an unsecured loan assumes a larger risk if later you are not able to pay back the loan. Due to this risk, unsecured creditors often charge much higher interest rates on their loans as opposed to secured loans. Subsequently, this leads to people often getting in over their head with unsecured debt due to interest rates that they are unable to ever catch up with. So what are your options when you do not have access to lower priced secured loans or find yourself with too much unsecured debt?
Tapping Into Your Home Equity
If you're a California homeowner, you may be eligible for a home equity loan, or home equity line of credit (also known as a HELOC). Eligibility for these loans, of course, requires that you have home equity, meaning your home must be worth more than you owe on it and also require good to excellent credit scores. Accordingly, home equity loans are not an option for many people who find themselves in difficult financial situations. Nevertheless, if you can qualify for a home equity loan, it is an appealing option because of the low interest rates generally associated with such loans (usually around 8%, compared to the 15-20% charged by most credit cards) and the single monthly payment. Moreover, the interest you pay on home equity loans is generally tax-deductible. Taking out a home equity loan however does not actually eliminate debt but may actually increase or extend your debt by just shifting it from several high-interest accounts to a single lower-interest account.
Debt Consolidation
Recently, many people have been using home equity loans to consolidate their credit card debt. On the one hand, obtaining a secured loan such as a home equity loan is preferable because it enables you to obtain a lower interest rate. On the other hand, you run the risk of losing your home if you fail to make payments on time. Thus, non-homeowners and homeowners alike sometimes elect to take out an unsecured debt consolidation loan to reduce monthly payments. Approval for an unsecured loan is based on a combination of your income, credit and payment history (FICO score). Consequently, unless you have exceptionally good credit or a family member who is willing to co-sign, unsecured loans can be hard to come by. If you do get approved for an unsecured loan, it will likely come with a high interest rate.
The bottom line is, you may not save any money in the long run, nor will you eliminate your debt any faster if you elect to take out a debt consolidation loan with a high interest rate. Rather, by "robbing Peter to pay Paul," you will have simply replaced your old debts with new, longer-term debt. Additionally, because debt consolidation results in the closing of several old accounts (which have been absorbed by your new lender), it could actually have an adverse effect on your credit score, which takes into account longevity of credit history.
Filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Despite the recent surge in the number of bankruptcy filings each year, bankruptcy remains the least favorable way to eliminate unsecured debt. This is due to the many drawbacks associated with bankruptcy, among them feelings of shame/embarrassment and a destroyed credit score. Unlike debt settlement, which may negatively impact your credit score in the short term, filing for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 7-10 years, making it difficult to obtain new credit.
Debt Settlement
If most of your debt issues are with unsecured debt, debt settlement may be a practicable solution to eliminate it. Creditors know that they will end up with nothing in the event that you have to file bankruptcy, and because of this are more willing to negotiate settlements or reductions on the remaining balances. Indeed, creditors have been known to settle accounts for 50% of what is allegedly owed. The key is in knowing how to negotiate with your creditors and to be diligent about documenting and recordkeeping. For this and many other reasons, people prefer to hire a professional to handle the negotiations and settlement process. If you do choose to hire a third party to do the negotiations for you, be sure to do your research beforehand, as there are many illegitimate companies out there looking to exploit consumers burdened by debt and typically they are unable to reduce the debt down to the same numbers as experienced debt attorneys are able to.
