Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi, I'd like to help you with your bankruptcy questions today.
Although the allowed scope of a Rule 2004 exam is broad, there are limitations to a court's subpoena power. Rule 45(c)(3)(A)
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(c)(3):
(3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.
(A) When Required. On timely motion, the issuing court must quash or modify a subpoena that:
(i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply;
(ii) requires a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to travel more than 100 miles from where that person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person-except that, subject to Rule 45(c)(3)(B)(iii), the person may be commanded to attend a trial by traveling from any such place within the state where the trial is held;
(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies; or
(iv) subjects a person to undue burden.
(B) When Permitted. To protect a person subject to or affected by a subpoena, the issuing court may, on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires:
(i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information;
(ii) disclosing an unretained expert's opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert's study that was not requested by a party; or
(iii) a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer to incur substantial expense to travel more than 100 miles to attend trial.
So the answer to your question is yes, it may be a defense pursuant to Rule 45(c)(3)(B)(i), "disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information," and possibly others.
The key here is that you would need to timely file a Motion to Quash and/or Motion to Modify within a very short period of time after being noticed. I would suggest that you consult a local attorney as soon as possible to discuss these issues.
If you were, in fact, never served with a subpoena, that could be another potential defense. However, it's extremely risky to simply ignore the Notice of the 2004 Examination on those grounds, as your case could simply be dismissed.
1) I want to say yes, but I don't see anything in the Code explicitly stating that petitioning creditors are parties. Let me find something more concrete for you.
2) If an Order was issued, the petitioning creditor will likely be held in contempt for failing to appear at the 2004 Examination.
Typically, the Debtor would have needed to file some kind of Motion for an Order to be entered. Was there anything like that filed?
The Code uses the term "entity" in lieu of "party." An "entity" includes person, estate, trust, governmental unit, and United States trustee.
Rule 2004:
(a) Examination on Motion. On motion of any party in interest, the court may order the examination of any entity.
(c) Compelling Attendance and Production of Documentary Evidence. The attendance of an entity for examination and for the production of documents, whether the examination is to be conducted within or without the district in which the case is pending, may be compelled as provided in Rule 9016 [Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45] for the attendance of a witness at a hearing or trial...
(e) Mileage. An entity other than a debtor shall not be required to attend as a witness unless lawful mileage and witness fee for one day's attendance shall be first tendered. If the debtor resides more than 100 miles from the place of examination when required to appear for an examination under this rule, the mileage allowed by law to a witness shall be tendered for any distance more than 100 miles from the debtor's residence at the date of the filing of the first petition commencing a case under the Code or the residence at the time the debtor is required to appear for the examination, whichever is the lesser.
Was the lawful mileage and witness fee for one day's attendance at the 2004 Exam already tendered? If not, that might be another potential defense.

|This is claimed to be the first time an ad for medical marijuana has ever aired on mainstream television.
Sacramento FOX affiliate KTXL, "FOX40," on Monday morning ran a paid TV advertisement for a medical marijuana dispensary, thought to be the first time an ad for medical marijuana has ever aired on mainstream television.
The 30-second ad, paid for by Sacramento-based CannaCare and produced by KTXL, features patients delivering testimonials on the benefits of medical marijuana, reports Matthew Keys at FOX40 News. Text at the bottom of the screen indicates that marijuana can be used to relieve symptoms of many illnesses, including diabetes, HIV, hepatitis C and hypertension, among others.
Note that in the TV news report from FOX40 above, reporter Elissa Harrington manages to miss the point when she compares marijuana ads to alcohol and tobacco ads. Neither alcohol nor tobacco is used for medicinal purposes as is marijuana -- and, of course, neither alcohol nor tobacco use comes with a doctor's legal authorization, as does cannabis -- so there's no reason that broadcast rules applying to recreational substances should be applied to medicine.
Marijuana is not shown at all in the TV ad, and the word "marijuana" is never used. Patients interviewed in the ad, along with the narrator, refer to pot as "cannabis."
The CannaCare advertisement is likely the first such ad promoting medicinal use of marijuana to ever run on a mainstream television outlet, according to Mike Armstrong, KTXL's acting general manager.
"It is a matter of record within the medical community that medical marijuana can have positive results in helping relieve nausea and vomiting among cancer patients receiving chemotheraphy and increasing appetites among AIDS patients," Armstrong said.
According to Armstrong, the ad is "no different from that of any medicine" advertised by pharmaceutical companies on local television channels and cable networks for decades.
"Like so many other products advertised legally in media, it is a drug," Armstrong said. "When viewers watch the [advertisement] on air, they can see it's simply identifying this as an avenue to take if your doctor thinks it will help you feel better."
KTXL said it will air the ad during both morning and evening newscasts, and throughout the day.
"I'm curious what viewers will think about this," said Brandon Mercer, news director at KTXL. "We believe in giving the viewers a strong voice in our news products, and we certainly are going to hear a lot of opinions."
Mercer responded with a "no comment" when asked about how he felt about the ad airing during news programs, but later said the station would delve into more details surrounding the ad during KTXL's evening newscast, "FOX40 News at 10 p.m."
The CannaCare ad is not running as a public service announcement, but instead as a fully-paid commercial advertisement, according to KTXL. As with most TV ads, the station won't disclose how much it was paid to produce and air the spot.
Advertisements promoting marijuana use, or even just promoting a discussion on pot legalization, have come under debate since Facebook decided to stop running "Just Say Now" ads promoting the passage of Prop 19, California's November ballot initiative which would regulate and tax marijuana for adults.
For more on the CannaCare advertisement, including an interview with representatives from CannaCare, an interview with the advertisement's producer and more on the station's decision to air the ad, watch FOX40 News at 5:30pm and at 10pm. To see the ad in full, watch FOX40 Live Monday morning starting at 4:30am.

Katie Jozwicki - Master's: Marketing, 2007
I still remember almost a year ago when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 31. It was the Monday of midterm's week in my second year of business school.
I have always been a bit of a control freak and often planned my life down to the last detail. When cancer struck me, I was in the midst of interviewing for a new career and completing my MBA. Quickly control was taken away from me by my diagnosis and for a while I did not know what each day would bring, making it impossible to plan ahead. This has relieved a huge amount of stress in my day-to-day life. I no longer feel the need to plan every detail and I am more accepting of the fact that I cannot control everything.
Before cancer I never felt passion, not for a person, not for a cause. Now I understand what it means to feel passion, passion to learn more about cancer, passion to improve my own health and body, and passion to find ways to help other young adult cancer survivors. I hope to gain a better understanding of how my mental strength can be transformed into physical strength and wellness.
I would never have made it through my treatment without my classmates, friends, professors and the staff at McCombs.

Man attacked woman over Facebook friends, police say
Published: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 8:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 9:53 a.m.
A Gainesville man sexually assaulted a woman after ordering her to delete all of her male Facebook friends and threatening her with a knife, according to a report.
The incident began early Tuesday morning when Demetrious Jarrod Lillie, 20, woke the woman and told her to delete the names from Facebook, which she did, according to a Gainesville Police report.
He then hit her four times on the sides of her head and pulled her hair, the report said. With a hunting-style knife with a 12-inch blade, Lillie forced her to commit sexual acts and then took her cellphone.
The report also states that Lillie told the woman he would kill their 1-year-old child and himself if she told anyone of the incident. She later got the child and walked to a convenience store to call police.
Lillie denied all knowledge of the incident or the whereabouts the knife, car keys or cellphone, the report states. He later admitted that he put the cellphone and keys under the stove. A police search located the knife hidden in a cabinet above the refrigerator.
Lillie was arrested Tuesday on charges of sexual battery with a weapon, domestic violence for an assault on his girlfriend, and hindering communication with police.
He was being held without bond Wednesday at the Alachua County jail.

There's a big, and growing, hole in the NHS budget. Is 'Prudent healthcare' the answer?June 18th, 2014
The Welsh NHS will have a 40% hole in its budget within 10 years.
The latest audit of the health service by the health think-tank The Nuffield Trust calculates that there'll be an "unprecedented funding gap" of £2.5billion by 2025 because of rising pressures. The ageing population, rising hospital admissions for people with chronic disease and increases in the cost of providing health care mean that pressures on the Welsh NHS are growing.
"The NHS in Wales, which has become accustomed to increases in real-terms funding to meet demand pressures, must now meet the rising pressures of the population with a reduced budget" the report authors conclude.
Mark Drakeford, the Welsh Minister for Health and Social Services, has said since he took up post that the NHS faces a choice between unplanned change and planned change. He has set out the concept of prudent healthcare as the only way to meeting these profound challenges. He has defined it as "healthcare that fits the needs and circumstances of patients and actively avoids wasteful care that is not to the patients benefit".
The IWA will be acting as a forum to debate this important concept over the coming months and last week held a major conference on the subject. IWA members have received a summary of the event and can watch a Q&A with Mark Drakeford here, or listen below

5 Responses to:"Can the NHS be saved by a 'Prudent' approach?"
aled says:
I noticed in the Bevan commission referring to co-pays and paper references to US studies – Aneurin Bevan would be turning in his grave. We have little to learn from the US, Ritz style healthcare system, where people can opt to pay extra for better treatments. The per capita spend on healthcare in the US is almost 2.5 times that in Wales or the UK and even stripping out the private healthcare contributions, the US taxpayer still pays more than we do in the UK. The quoted numbers of US citizens with no access to healthcare are hotly disputed, but even the most conservative estimates come in at 6%, with many often quoting the 40 million figure. If we seek to find solutions from a failed, non-inclusive system such as the US, which invented the term co-pay then this smacks of a route to the destruction of the NHS.
As Aneurin Bevan eloquently stated – The collective principle asserts that… no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.
The solution has to be maximising the utilisation of resources – not less diagnostics, but more efficient access to diagnostics – MRI scanners are designed to run 24/7 – large numbers of patients would take up the offer of a 2am scan, if it was offered. We don't need less drugs, we need more efficient use of the best drugs – this links to rapid access to the best diagnostics, so patients have the correct treatments early and are not left on inappropriate regimes for years, leaving their conditions to degenerate.
Rapid diagnosis will reduce costs. Lower costs will come from preventative things of course, but subsequent to that, speed of diagnosis and optimal rapid treatments should be the key to lower costs.
No-one seems to be prepared to challenge the medical profession – the ones whose "mouths needed to be filled with gold" in order to get the NHS off the ground in the first place, perhaps laying the seed for future problems.
On average a GP will spend only 14 years in employment – a phenomenal amount of money is invested in a few, who work in general practice for a very short period of time. We need more medical practitioners in the communities, with knowledge of the communities, who socialise within the communities. The general practice model we have does not work effectively – GPs aren't satisfied and I would say the public aren't satisfied, but it always amazes me , the number of surveys that report high levels of satisfaction with GPs – who do they survey? – If there is so much satisfaction why do so many go to A&E. General Practice was a weakness in the NHS from the start and it's an issue that needs to be tackled.
Citing more famous references from Aneurin Bevan in the context of housing:
"We should try to introduce in our modern villages and towns what was always the lovely feature of English and Welsh villages, where the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street. I believe that is essential for the full life of citizen… to see the living tapestry of a mixed community.
In Cuba, which has the same life expectancy as the US and lower child mortality, all care delivery is organized at the local level, and the patients and their caregivers generally live in the same community. Can we genuinely say that is true in Wales?
R.Tredwyn says:
In Cuba doctors are state employees and do not or at least have not had free choice of employment or where they live. Nor can they easily emigrate, certainly not before doing some years of aproved 'social' work to repay the state for their education. Such levels of social control of the individual are impracticable in Britain so, while there is much in what Aled says, I am not clear what he is proposing.
Chris Jones says:
Agree with Aled. I find it remarkable that he says that doctors only do an average of 14 years employment! What do they do with the rest of their lives? Spend the gold that has been ' stuffed into their mouths'?
The new 'head' of the NHS in England has stated that he wishes to see more local and smaller hospitals in their respective communities. This seems a highly desirable objective which we should emulate in Wales. Of course we need large hospitals (like the Heath, Morriston) with the latest high tech equipment, A&E and doctor training/research facilities but I imagine that a great deal of routine and long term treatment can be done locally without having to inflict transport and waiting time horrors on elderly or sick sufferers. This would also satisfy communities who are always up in arms at the closure of historic and much valued local facilities.
As to doctors living near their patients, they seem to get paid sufficiently to afford not to live near them! They might catch something.
adarynefoedd says:
More nurses needed in primary care. Seriously,many initial consultations could be done by specialist nurses, who could triage those patients who need to see a doctor. Long term conditions could be managed effectively by prescribing specialist nurses. There are already many examples of clinical teams being effectively led by 'other' health professionals, rather than seeking the unfindable (old style GPs who stay around and live locally),let's look at more radical models of care.
Shan Morgain says:
Cuts in the NHS are already resulting in higher costs!
Two examples.
Late last year I had appendicitis. It should have been a simple, brief operation, 24 hours on the ward, and home.
Instead, because I was forced to wait 14 hours for surgery and a bed, my appendix exploded, the surgery was 5 times longer and more complex, and I blocked a hospital bed for a week in recovery. So the whole episode was 5 times more expensive for the NHS, and would have caused yet more expensive episodes for others kept waiting for treatment because of me.
My best friend had a hip replacement – both sides needed one and the worst one was done first. The surgeon said he must have the other side done in 3 months because the new strong side would put strain on the other. My friend made an excellent recovery and for a short time was healthy and active.
But he was kept waiting and waiting. Gradually the untreated hip deteriorated, just as predicted, until he was in constant agony ,on morphine. Bone damage set in. Mobility decreased so much it developed all kinds of other health conditions.
This man, who should have been healthy and active today, is now dying. Slowly and painfully, and using up a large amount of health resources in that process which should not have been necessary.
(I am grateful for the superlative care, when I finally got it. I'm unhappy that politics put my life at risk.)

Tips to a Avoid Craigslist "Referral Offer" Job Scams
Posted By Jim On 03/14/2012 @ 7:08 am In Career | 1 Comment
Christopher Spata is a freelance journalist and he was recently scammed on Craigslist [3]. Fortunately for the rest of us, he was brave enough to share his experience with the readers of Salon so that we can learn from it.
The scam involved being a "part time data entry person to help with a temporary computer project." The reality of what was going on is that Spata was signing up for affiliate offers and the links he was using belonged to Aaron, some guy in Michigan. Every time he signed up for Netflix, Aaron got paid. Eveyrtime he signed up for Disney Movie Club, Aaron got paid. In some cases, the trials cost a couple bucks and, in theory, Aaron was going to reimburse Spata and pay him more. This system isn't that much different than the Fatcash rebate system at Fatwallet or being paid through Ebates, except Aaron is an individual and decided not to pay Spata.
Here's how can you avoid something like this:
Spata admits from the onset that he thought it sounded shady. The job didn't match the ad. He could make a lot of money doing very little. It seemed a little too good to be true and he listened to his gut… until he stopped. Now, Spata is in a tough position. He needs to find some part time work to meet bills and while his gut said it was a scam, his head said to give it a shot. Worst case scenario is that he loses some time and right now, with no job, his time isn't terribly valuable.
Your best scam detector is your gut. You may not be able to point to the reasons why your gut screams "scam!" but it's the same reason why the world's best experts on anything can't tell you how they do the things they do. You can call it thin slicing [4] or you can call it a gut feel, but the reality is that it works more often than it doesn't.
So before he jumps in, he sends it to a friend whose opinion he trusted. He trusted her to be as untrusting and cynical as he was and she was – she was 99% sure it was a scam but it doesn't hurt to talk to the guy. The part that doesn't get talked about in the article is that she probably knows he's out of work and she doesn't want to be the one that tells him "that's a scam run away!" when it might not be. There's a very small 1% chance that it's not a scam, so you don't want to be the one that says "run" while your friend eats more ramen.
Your second best scam detector is the gut of your friends. Ask several of them and you can drop that percentage down to zero.
With the exception of getting to interviews, you should never pay out of pocket for a job. Whether it's paying to get a kit or, in this case, signing up for offers, no legitimate job should ask you to pay money on the on set. At worst, anything you need to pay for should be deducted out of paychecks (like uniforms) and that's only if they are legitimate. All those charges Spata was paying for were just trials ending and the full service beginning.
What can you do if you're scammed like this? Save the links you are sent from the scammer because it'll have enough tracking information to identify them should you approach the affiliate network. At least you can hit back a little should you get scammed.

A friend and I will soon (early June) depart for our first tour of the C&O Canal. We'll be starting in Cumberland, MD and riding into DC over 4 days, overnighting in hotels along the way. We'll be riding 60 miles the first day and 40 each successive day. I know what trail conditions to expect in the immediate DC Metro area, but I'm not familiar with the trail from Cumberland to Leesburg. Can anyone update me with the most current trail conditions (detours, flooding, downed trees, etc) in this stretch of the trail? I just want to confirm that 60 miles that day is realistic.
As always, thanks in advance.

The Kardashian sisters have become style icons and household names in recent years and although we know it's a little unfair to put sister up against sister, Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian are so different and each has her redeeming qualities and… well, not so redeeming. So we want to know which Kardashian sister you prefer?
Khloé Alexandra Kardashian was born on June 27, 1984, in Los Angeles, California and she is the youngest of the Kardashian sisters. Despite what paternity rumors suggest, Khloé is in fact the daughter of Kardashian matriarch Kris [Jenner] and the late Robert Kardashian — famed for defending O.J. Simpson during his very controversial and highly publicized murder trial.
Kim Noel Kardashian was born on October 21, 1980, in Beverly Hills, California. A pre-school classmate of Paris Hilton, she like her classmate became the star of a steamy sextape. (Must have been some primary school!) However, there is no denying that this brunette beauty was destined for fame and she has grabbed at every chance she has got and has managed to claw her way to the top — having virtually flawless beauty has certainly not hindered her either.
Claim to fame
Khloé first graced our television sets in 2007, when she starred alongside the rest of the Kardashian clan in their hit E! TV series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. However, since her reality TV debut, the 29-year-old star has capitalized on every opportunity given to her and has starred in spin off shows Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Khloé & Lamar.
Although, Khloé's life is not just all about being a drama queen, she was also given the chance to compete on Celebrity Apprentice and has hosted the The X Factor (whether you thought she was a good host, or not, is another question) but her one true love is fashion. And the reality star actually has a keen eye for the latest trends and even owns the boutique D-A-S-H with her sisters Kim and Kourtney.
OK, so her steamy sex tape with former boyfriend, rapper Ray J — which made it's way into porn company Vivid Entertainment's clutches — may have lined her pockets with several millions and launched her career, but few can deny that Kim has some serious ambition.
There is not much that the 33-year-old star has not done! Seriously, she's been a model, done a nude spread in Playboy magazine, starred in a hit reality TV show, released several workout DVDS and graced the pages of plenty of prestigious fashion magazines. And to top it all off, she just landed the April cover of Vogue — her lifelong dream — alongside her baby daddy Kanye West!
And her celebrity status is continuing to grow. She's been the top of Google's most searched celeb lists more than once and she's also a savvy entrepreneur, designer and even a perfumista!
Relationships or lack thereof
Khloé has never been all that lucky when it comes to love and her reality shows have clearly documented her lack of romances. However, fans rejoiced when they thought that Khloé had finally found the man of her dreams in 2009, basketball star Lamar Odom. The loved-up pair could not wait to get married and tied the knot after dating for just over a month! Was she afraid that he may get away?
Well, unfortunately for Khloé he did get away, but that was not really her fault! Odom has been dealing with some personal issues in recent months and sadly his new best friend has become a drug dealer. Cheating rumors surfaced, but Khloé chose not to believe her husband's alleged indiscretions and remained dedicated to her man — until Odom ruined everything and released a very bizarre rap video in which he claims he cheated on his wife. Charming!
As for children, Khloé and Lamar fans felt deeply sorry for the couple who strongly desired, yet struggled to have children (which was clearly documented on their show). However, according to her sister Kim, her infertility drama was all a lie!
Kim likes her men famous. That seems to be the one factor that defines them, and her past relationships include Reggie Bush, Ray J, Kris Humphries, Nick Lachey and Nick Cannon.
Kim Kardashian is set to walk down the aisle with Kanye West in the near future, in what is expected to be one of the most lavish celebrity weddings of the year, but it won't be her first!
When Kim was just 20 years old she tied the knot with music producer Damon Thomas and the former couple's marriage managed to last for four years, much longer than her second one to pro basketball player Kris Humphries did! There has been mass speculation as to whether Kim married Kris just for the boost in popularity, because her lush wedding ceremony was televised live for all her fans too see. However, their marriage was not quite as lush and it ended in divorce, just 72 days later!
The world may not have expected Kim to make a good mother, but she appears to be proving her critics wrong because since baby North's birth in June last year she has not chosen to cash in on her daughter and has refused to sell pictures of her. Good on you Kimye!

Reviews of Ghaub Guest Farm

Ghaub Guest Farm review
We really enjoyed our stay at Ghaub. The staff were very friendly and helpful. 90 min drive to Etosha, and walks were excellent.Read more about the whole trip
Kasane to Cape Town Days 7 and 8
We really like Ghaub; it is a simple place where things are done well.
Since our last stay two years ago (we loved it then but it's better now!) buildings have been spruced up, rooms redecorated and quality of bedding improved. Rooms remain large and cool with big bathrooms and excellent showers. We had the 'honeymoon suite' which has the only double bed. Food is good farm cooking (often featuring game meat). Whilst you may not get the same variety at breakfast as at some lodges the quality of the food on offer is superb. Mika is an excellent manager for whom nothing seems too much trouble – he seemed delighted to welcome repeat visitors. He also recommended an Aladdin's cave of a shop in Tsumeb which managed to sell us a gizmo to do the job of the camcorder recharger we'd left at home.
We enjoyed a morning walk on our own and then an evening drive around the farm with Klaus; we didn't see much game but learnt a lot about Ghaub and the farm.
Our one quibble is that, compared to other lodges, accompanied activities are rather expensive
Ghaub Guest Farm
A nice place to stay en route to Caprivi. We did not take part in any activities....hence no comment.Read more about the whole trip
Ghaub Guest Farm review
A very relaxed and friendly place to stay.
The bird hide was equipped with binoculars for all to use.
Food & ambience very good.
Lovely gardens - good bird life.
A bit of luxury after two weeks in the bush.
Would have been happy to stay more than one night.
A long way home
After two weeks of 40+ degree heat, 3500km of driving and stunning wildlife viewing this is a great place to come.
It is much more than just an overnight stop and possibly deserves 2 nights as it is a great place to chill. The staff a very friendly and the rooms and facilities brilliant, plus they have food and wine of the highest standard.
The farm feel is very welcoming and the walking very enjoyable.
Very peaceful at Ghaub Guest Farm
Very helpful manager and staff. Very ineresting history about the farm.
Loved the birthday cake I was given by the lodge.

Hard to imagine this farm is in Africa. Never seen so many different sorts of cow.
A real education
Too short
We arrived too late to take an evening trip which was a shame and we had to leave too early in the morning,another night would have been great as it is a lovely place and we enjoyed the farming aspect of it.Read more about the whole trip
Ghaub Guest Farm review
We enjoyed exploring the caves at the farm together with our children (8+9 years) with only torches spending 1,5 hour in the dark passages!
The guide was very friendly and took good care of the children (and parents). Highly recommended for adventures families. There were good walking trails on the farm and a beatifull large garden (park). We got the best South African red wine in Namibia in the nice little restaurent "Rust en Vrede" (rest in peace) - try it.
The waiters were attentive and the manager asked to our well being all the time - hope they get a good salary. The family room was spacious and nice, the pool was perfect (but cold). Spend no less than 2 days here, highly recomended.

Was on Delta flight this past Friday and was reading interview in Sky Magazine with the CEO of Delta and American Express. One of the last topics discussed was the catering specifics. For example, how Delta has Japanese meals on flights to Tokyo. Anderson then mentions that there is no rice served on flights to Africa. This caught me off guard.
Can anyone enlighten me on why this is the case? Or could it have been a misprint of sorts?

Average Review:
Titanium Dioxide: "Angel White" natural pigment that is both oil and water soluble. When used in Cold Process add to your base oils and mix well prior to adding the lye water solution. Also perfect for lip stick and mineral makeup. Our Titanium Dioxide is non-nano. Its exact particle size is 0.17 micron or 170 nanometers. While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add 1 teaspoon of oxide to 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer. For more information on oxides in soap, check out this blog post.Safe for use in lip balm and eye shadows
To create the color in the sample of cold process soap above, we used 3 teaspoons of colorant in 1 pound of soap.
Ingredients:Botanical Name: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)Common Name: Titanium Dioxide
Note: 1 oz. is about 7 teaspoons
I use it in all of my soaps. I use it to get a true color when using a different color as well as just making white.
I always mix my TD in warmed almond oil, the warmed oil seems to accept the TD better. Plus, I micronize in a Cuisinart electric coffee grinder until it's super fine. I'll micronize enough to store in an empty jar so I always have it ready. I've tried other brands of TD, Brambleberry's is bright white. The best titanium dioxide ever!
I find that I use this a lot because Olive Oil soap isn't very white on it's own. It doesn't take a lot to whiten it up. It is a little hard to mix in, even when mixed in with some oil before adding to the batter, but it does eventually mix in. I have had some glycerine rivers while using this, but then read the article about discounting the water and have less of a problem now.
I Love titanium dioxide. I use it in practically EVERY soap I make, because I love color and the white always make colors pop, as well as softens/lightens up colors and adds an opaque color quality that I'm sometimes looking for. It works very well for me, since I mix it in sunflower or sweet almond oils first (or even a tablespoon of my mixed oils. I add extra in my olive oil recipes (I usually use pomace grade) to make it as bright as possible. Just bought a big bottle!
Excellent product but I don't understand BB Note: 1 oz. is about 7 teaspoons.
I weighed the TD I purchased from BB and 6 tsps.weighed 1/2 oz., THUS 9 tsp equals 3/4 oz, and finally 12 tsp or 4 Tbsp would weigh an oz.
Am I misunderstanding something?
Terah from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Marilyn! We measure all of our products by weight, not volume. Teaspoons are a volume measurement, whereas an ounce is a weight measurement. While, generally speaking 1 ounce works out to be about 6-7 tsp it depends on the density of the product you're talking about. If a powder or liquid is on the denser side 1 ounce, by weight would equal less teaspoons versus a really light product weighed at an ounce would give you more teaspoons. For more information check out our blog post, A Guide to Weight vs. Volume.

Ten young whooping cranes have completed three quarters of their
migration from Wisconsin to Florida.
They flew into Georgia from Alabama today and landed in Clay County, Ga. Only six to seven months old, the cranes have now traveled 979 miles and have another 306 to go. Half of the cranes will be finished sooner though.
Five cranes, selected by sex, genetics, and flight behavior, will be led
to St. Marks NWR, launching from the Jefferson County, Fl. stopover.
This is the 10th group of birds to take part in a landmark project led
by the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership (WCEP), an international
coalition of public and private groups that is reintroducing this highly
imperiled species in eastern North America. There are now about 106
whooping cranes in the wild in eastern North America thanks to their
"We are proud to be part of this effort to bring this magnificent bird
species back from the brink of extinction," said Cindy Dohner, Southeast
Regional Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "This is
another example of people working together to help overcome monumental challenges that many species face in surviving in a landscape greatly altered by mankind."
Eleven cranes started this journey, but the diagnosis of a torn tendon
in the wing of whooping crane number 2-10 by Nashville, Tenn. avian vet,
Dr. Michael Lutz, ended its chances of being released into the wild.
WCEP officials determined the crane would be returned to U.S. Geologic
Survey's Patuxent Wildlife Research Center where he will become part of
the Whooping Crane Recovery Captive Population. The crane was
transported there on Sunday, Dec. 5. Since departing Necedah on the
2010 migration, he had travelled in a crate in the back of a van for all
but about 40 miles of the 900-plus air miles logged by his classmates.
Three ultralight aircraft and the juvenile cranes are traveling through
Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia to reach
the birds' wintering habitats at St. Marks and Chassahowitzka National
Wildlife Refuges along Florida's Gulf Coast.
"Safeguarding an endangered species does not come with guarantees." said Joe Duff, senior ultralight pilot and CEO of Operation Migration. "This
is more than simply an experiment in wildlife reintroduction; it is a
struggle against all odds."
While the ultralight-led cranes will fly through Georgia's southwestern
corner, whooping cranes from previous year classes are sometimes spotted migrating through the state, said Nongame Conservation Section Chief Mike Harris of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. As of late November, four of the tall, white birds had been reported in central
south Georgia.
"Be on the lookout," and report sightings at
www.fws.gov/midwest/whoopingcrane/sightings/sightingform.cfm," Harris
Want to see them?
Live streaming video of the flight is available, subject to wireless

You can see a take-off on Nov. 6 on YouTube by visiting here:
In 2001, Operation Migration's pilots led the first whooping crane chicks, conditioned to follow their ultralight aircraft surrogates, south from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Necedah National Wildlife Refuge to Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. Each subsequent year, biologists and pilots have conditioned and guided additional groups of juvenile cranes to Florida. Having been shown the way once, the young birds initiate their return migration in the spring, and in subsequent years, continue to migrate on their own. In 2008, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge along Florida's Gulf Coast was added as an additional wintering site for the juvenile cranes.
Whooping cranes that take part in the ultralight and Direct Autumn Release reintroductions are hatched at the U.S. Geological Survey's Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Md., and at the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo, Wis. Chicks are raised under a strict isolation protocol and to ensure the birds remain wild, handlers adhere to a no-talking rule and wear costumes designed to mask the human form.
In the spring and fall, project staff from the International Crane Foundation and the Service track and monitor the released cranes in an effort to learn as much as possible about their unassisted journeys and the habitat choices they make both along the way and on their summering and wintering grounds.
Most of the whooping cranes released in previous years spend the summer in central Wisconsin, where they use areas on or near Necedah National Wildlife Refuge, as well as other public and private lands.
Whooping cranes were on the verge of extinction in the 1940s. Today, there are only about 570 birds in existence, about 400 of them in the wild. Aside from the 95 cranes released by the partnership, the only other migrating population of whooping cranes nests at Wood Buffalo National Park in northern Alberta, Canada and winters at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge on the Texas Gulf Coast. A non-migrating flock of about 25 birds lives year-round in the central Florida Kissimmee region.
Whooping cranes, named for their loud and penetrating unison calls, live and breed in wetland areas, where they feed on crabs, clams, frogs and aquatic plants. They are distinctive animals, standing five feet tall, with white bodies, black wing tips and red crowns on their heads.
More than 60 percent of the project's budget comes from private sources in the form of grants, public donations and corporate sponsors.
Why not let the cranes teach each other? We do that too.
In addition to the 11 birds being led south by ultralights, biologists from the International Crane Foundation and the Service reared 11 other whooping cranes at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge released in the company of older cranes from whom the young birds will learn the migration route. They were released on Oct. 25. One was killed on Oct. 30 by a predator at Necedah National Wildlife Refuge. This is the sixth year the partnership has used this Direct Autumn Release method.
The ultralight-led and Direct Autumn Release chicks are this year joining two wild-hatched chicks in the 2010 cohort.
Seven chicks initially hatched this year in the wild, the largest number to hatch in project history. Wild-hatched chicks face a precarious existence in the first weeks of their lives, and natural loss of chicks due to predation is common. The two wild whooping crane chicks are the result of renesting. Earlier this spring, nine breeding pairs of whooping cranes built nests and laid eggs, but all nine pairs abandoned those first nests. The nest abandonments earlier this spring are similar to what has been observed in previous years. The partnership is investigating the cause of the abandonments through analysis of data collected throughout the nesting period on crane behavior and black fly abundance and distribution.
Encountering a whooping crane in the wild?
Please give them the respect and distance they need.
Do not trespass on private property to view or photograph whooping cranes.
Please remain concealed and do not speak loudly enough that the birds can hear you.
Do not approach birds on foot within 200 yards.
Do not approach in a vehicle within 100 yards and remain in your vehicle.

Want to party like it's 2004? Well, you can with the Motorola Gleam, a modern reinvention of the iconic Motorola RAZR.
While we were expecting Moto to announce an Android-powered smartphone at MWC, we got neither, and were instead treated to the Motorola Gleam". The clamshell handset is as basic as they come, but shows Motorola hasn't ditched its roots in midst of its Google alliance.
Motorola admits that the Gleam is a feature phone aimed at "people who just want a simple phone that makes calls". Still, it offers quite a glam way to keep in touch, landing in a number of "stylish modern colours" including graphite gray, lacquer red and thistle (otherwise known as purple). There's also some fancy LED animations on the front of the handset, which will also display missed calls and messages.
The Motorola Gleam also features a 2.4 inch colour display, a built-in MP3 player with FM radio, a 2 megapixel rear-facing camera and up to 16GB of storage for microSD. It's not a good choice for Facebook addicts, as the handset lacks 3G or WiFi connectivity.
Motorola promise that the handset will be available from "the first half of 2011", although its pricing is yet to be confirmed.

Here at The Linemakers on Sporting News, think of all we do for you. The brightest oddsmaking team on the planet, featuring Kenny White and Richie Baccellieri, are at your disposal. Ricky Heron, Lou D'Amico and Micah Roberts know the ropes as well as anyone who has ever worked behind the counter in a sports book. And Jimmy Vaccaro is a legend. The video analysis and editorial content from a wagering perspective is top shelf.
What I'm getting at is we are here for you. Not right now, however. This little article is all about me. This will be cathartic.
For those that read this space, thanks, and let me refresh your memory. Here's an article I wrote on October 19 for The Linemakers.
Let's revisit the point again, as this past weekend featured even more head-scratching decisions by head coaches.
First, on Saturday, with a national championship on the line, both USC's Lane Kiffin and Notre Dame's Brian Kelly ran around on the sidelines as if their hair was on fire. Kiffin, while trailing by six, burned timeouts with his team driving and showing no sense of urgency.
Then Kelly got in on the fun, wasting a timeout before Kyle Brindza kicked a 19-yard field goal that put the Irish up, 22-13, with about six minutes to go. First and foremost, you must assume the other team can rally and that you may need the timeout. Burning a timeout frivolously with the lead is just as egregious as panicking when you're behind. The five-yard penalty would have actually given his kicker a better angle. He better not pull that stunt in Miami against Alabama or Georgia.
And then there were the 'professional' coaches who mangled their approach to game management this past week in the NFL. Let's start on Thanksgiving Day.
For openers, the call that was missed by the officials during the Texans-Lions game was shameful. Clearly Justin Forsett should have been ruled downed by contact instead of popping up and scampering 81 yards for a touchdown. Lions head coach Jim Schwartz compounded the problem by flipping out and throwing the red challenge flag. The scoring play in question was going to be reviewed until Schwartz threw his flag. It's a ridiculous rule, but Schwartz knew the rule because it happened in the Lions-49ers game last year. Oops! Ultimately, it cost Detroit a great shot of locking down the win over Houston.
Let's move on to Sunday, when Mike Smith got away with one. His Falcons had virtually locked up a 24-23 win at Tampa Bay, but Smith had a brain cramp. With eight seconds remaining in regulation, Smith decided to have Matt Bryant attempt a 48-yard field goal. The problem with the decision is that Bryant had missed a chip shot earlier in the game, and field goals do get blocked once in a while. Punting would have been the smart decision, as it would have left virtually no time for the Bucs to do anything. Instead Bryant missed the kick and Tampa Bay had a shot to complete a pass and get into field-goal range. The Bucs were forced to throw a Hail Mary Pass into the end zone, which fell incomplete. Had Smith punted, the game would have been over with no fear of surviving the last second pass. Whew!
We're not done yet. Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey opted to punt from the Colts' 34-yard line in the second quarter rather than attempt a 51-yard field goal indoors. If your kicker can't be relied upon to try a 51-yard field goal indoors, he shouldn't be on the team. Buffalo's ultra conservative approach then took a 180-degree turn. Starting from their own eight-yard line with just under a minute to play in the first half, a few run plays were in order for the Bills (Buffalo should be running the ball all the time, but that's another story). Instead, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three incomplete passes, and the Colts got the ball back with time to operate. They barely missed scoring twice from the one-yard line before tacking on three points on the last play of the half. They never should have gotten the ball back!
Picking the right side in a football game is hard enough work, but now we have to handicap the coaching ineptitude that occurs on a weekly basis. It's a broken record, I know, but these moronic guys wearing headsets haven't got a clue.
Thanks for letting me vent. I feel somewhat better, but know full well I'll be experiencing the same torture again this weekend.

Research Marks
From BG FFXI Wiki
Research Marks are a type of credit earned by successfully completing goals associated with various Meeble Burrows expeditions. The amount of research marks earned are typically determined by:
- Expedition: With several exceptions, higher rank expeditions yield more marks than lower rank expeditions. Boss expeditions yield far fewer marks than non-boss expeditions.
- Goals Completed: The most important factor in receiving the highest marks reward is the completion of Goal 3.
- Number of Participants: More participants will yield more research marks per player. From a baseline amount at three players, the bonus per player is 20% for four players, 40% for five players, and 60% for six players.
Research Marks can be expended for reward items at the following NPCs:
- Burrow Investigator (Upper Jeuno - I-8)
- Burrow Researchers
See the NPC pages for a full list of purchasable reward items. Note that Burrow Researchers only sell rewards associated with their location while the Burrow Investigator sells all rewards.

LONDON (ShareCast) - A Royal Dutch Shell (LSE: RDSB.L - news) -owned drilling rig has ran around off the coast of Alaska after being caught in a storm.
The Kulluk hit rocks on Monday evening at 21:00 off Kodiak Island, though its 18-member crew had already been evacuated, according to media reports.
The vessel, operated by Noble Corp (NYSE: NE - news) , was carrying 150,000 gallons on ultra low-sulphur diesel and 12,000 gallons of lubricating oil and hydraulic fluid, but there have been no reports of any spillage.
According to the Coast Guard, winds reached speeds of up to 60 miles per hour and waves were up to 35 feet high.
The drilling rig is part of Shell's $4.5bn offshore programme in Alaska.

So I annoyed you all with my hair dribbles and woes the other week. I carried on about how I wanted to grow it and have all this awesome confidence to style it in beautiful ways with ease. The honest truth is that I really did want that, but somewhere between then and yesterday, the "I feel crappy with my hair and it's doing nothing or me" vibes set in. Which saw my fingers move at lightening speed and a text message was sent to my dear friend and hairdresser, and before you I knew it this occurred.
I'm really happy with it, and I popped into my fav oppy this morning to be told by my favourite volunteer that she loved my hair and she used to have hers styled very similar in the day. She elaborated and said in the day she/they called it a chicky, chicky, chang, chang cut. The artist of course she was referring to was Dinah Lee and the 1964 song "Do the Bluebeat".
So I am now the chicky, chicky, chang, chang girl.

As for the hair woes and dreams of length and styling confidence, I say blow it now, I can always do as Vix suggested and get a nice wig. The tale of hair woes is officially over and this mumma has got get to it and get her chicky, chicky, chang, chang moves on as I have my first date night with Big V in nearly two years, a friend is watching the little vowers for us. The bank balance is low this week, so it might be a fish and chips and a light stroll sort of evening.

One of the best things about Spanish footy and what sets it apart is the cantera, the development of home grown talent and giving them an opportunity to grow and play in the in the third division, perhaps second division and the first team. There are various reasons for the emphasis on canteranos, one is because of the philosophy of the club (see Athletic and Barca) or the attempt to have one style of play (see Barca or Villarreal), or to offset financial difficulties (see Sporting, Racing, Mallorca, Real Sociedad).
Of course the definition of what is a canterano is somewhat controversial. Most people believe it is a player developed by the club between age of 15 and 21 and who remains at the club for a minimum of three years. So based on this general criteria I put together a list of players by club that are home grown or canteranos and played or have debuted in the first team.
ATHLETIC: Carlos Gurpegui, Andoni Iraola, Fernando Llorente, Markel Susaeta, Javi Martínez, Fernando Amorebieta, Borja Ekiza, Raúl Fernández, Ander Iturraspe, Iker Muniaín, Mikel San José, Aitor Fernández, Jon Aurtenetxe, Íñigo Pérez. Jonas Ramalho, and Íñigo Ruiz De Galarreta.
ATLÉTICO: Antonio López, Gabi, Mario Suárez, Álvaro Domínguez, Koke. Pedro Martín, and Saúl Ñíguez.
BARCELONA: Víctor Valdés, Andrés Iniesta, Pedro Rodríguez, Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández, Carles Puyol, Gerard Piqué, Lionel Messi, Andreu Fontàs, Thiago Alcántara. Martín Montoya, Marc Bartra, Jonathan Dos Santos, Marc Muniesa, Sergi Roberto, and Cristian Tello.
BETIS: José Cañas, Isidoro Gómez, Álvaro Vadillo. Álex Martínez, and Súper.
ESPANYOL: Javi Márquez, Raúl Baena, Didac Vilà, Jordi Amat, Edgar Badía, and Álvaro Vázquez.
LEVANTE: Sergio Ballesteros, Juanfran García, Vicent Iborra. Marc Mateu, José Higón, and Iván López.
MÁLAGA: Jesús Gámez, Recio. Francisco Portillo, and Juanmi.
MALLORCA: Emilio Nsue, Josep Lluís Martí, Iván Ramis, Víctor Casadesus, Martí Crespí, Pau Cendrós, Kevin García, Yeray Gómez and Pedro Bigas.
OSASUNA: Raúl García, Patxi Puñal, Miguel Flaño, Ion Echaide, Kike Sola, Eneko Satrustegui and Roberto Torres.
RACING: Pedro Munitis, Gonzalo Colsa, Christian Fernández, Mario Fernández, Edu Bedía, José Picón, Osmar Barba, Álvaro González, Julián Luque, Jairo Samperio and Daniel Sotres.
RAYO: Míchel Sánchez, David Cobeño, Alejandro Arribas, and Diego Benito.
REAL MADRID: Iker Casillas, Antonio Adán, Alvaro Arbeloa, Esteban Granero, José Callejón and Tomás Mejías.
REAL SOCIEDAD: Joseba Llorente, Mikel González, Gorka Elustondo, David Zurutuza, Dani Estrada, Mikel Aranburu, Eñaut Zubikarai, Xabi Prieto, Markel Bergara, Imanol Agirretxe, Asier Illarramendi, Antoine Griezmann, Rubén Pardo and Toño Ramírez.
SEVILLA: José Antonio Reyes, Jesús Navas, Diego Perotti, Juan Cala, Antonio Luna, José Campaña, Dani Jiménez and Luis Alberto.
SPORTING: Adrián Colunga, Roberto Canella, Nacho Cases. Pedro Orfila, and Juan Muñiz.
VALENCIA: David Albelda, Vicente Guaita, Pablo Hernández. Paco Alcácer, and Juan Bernat.
VILLARREAL: Bruno Soriano, Mario Gaspar. Joselu, Kiko Olivas, and Diego Mariño.
ZARAGOZA: Ángel Lafita and Jorge Ortí.
Athletic and Barca continue to be the benchmark for the production, promotion and retention of players. Real Sociedad may surprise you has an amazing production line as well. In fact several of their players are youth international stars with La Rojita. Both Racing and Mallorca use homegrown as a matter of finances and necessity.
It is admirable the amount of home grown talent who stay at their club.
It is also interesting to see that some of the players that have been developed, returned to their home club, see Pique, Reyes, Raul Garcia, Cesc, Gabi, Callejon, Arbeloa, Granero and Adrian Colunga. It's nice to know you can always go home.

Asked by harperstuff to Asif, Laura, Lena, Sean, Viv on 14 Mar 2012.
Keywords: electromagnetism, light, photon
Scientists are struggling to understand how photons behave as they seem to almost communicate with each other. It is hard to explain but the patterns you see in scientific results are weird!
First we need to realize that when things get really small (like photons) they stop behaving the same way as larger objects (like a football). We have to imagine that the quantum world has different rules to ours (even though it is all really the same).
It's not that a photon can be in two places at once, it's that a photon is everywhere at once. This way of thinking states the particle travels every possible route in the universe to get the their final destination . So it really isn't at two places at the same time. The reason this works is it's impossible to prove where the particle is without changing the experiment in a way where the results also change. This is also where the idea of multiple universes comes from. One day we will understand more about this, but at the moment we do not know for sure.

The pinch theory of conflict management is based on the idea that conflict can be predicted and reduced. Unresolved conflict affects production, lowers performance and fosters resentment. When expectations between people are not met, this can create a pinch or a breakdown in the existing relationship. Pinches are inevitable, but can be reduced, managed, and avoided.
• Sharing expectations reduces pinches
• Understanding others' personalities minimizes pinches
• Discussing pinches as soon as they occur avoids escalation and reduces stress
When pinches are unresolved, and are allowed to fester, they often lead to a CRUNCH – defined as an intolerable pinch(es).
How Do We "Un-Crunch?"
- 1. Introduce The Pinch
- a) "There is something on my mind, and I need your help in understanding it."
- b) "I'm bothered by something in our work relationship, and if I don't tell you what I'm thinking, it's not fair to you or me."
- c) "Could you spare a minute to talk about something that is bothering me?" or, "No big deal, but I'd like to clear something up."
- d) "I want to talk about something — I'm concerned it could affect our work together if I don't share it."
- 2. Describe the behavior in observable terms. Do not be accusatory or confrontational.
- a) "What I saw was _____. Is that what you intended?"
- b) "Did I hear correctly when you said___?"
- c) "Would you please help me understand…?"
- 3. Describe how you were affected — own the feelings.
- a) "When you (observable behavior) I felt/thought _______ (not, "you made me feel/think…") If I may ask, why did you do that?"
- b) "When you said _____, I took it to mean _____. How did you intend it?"
- c) "I'm not certain I'm clear about _____. Would you mind explaining?"
- 4. Describe What You Want
- a) "If you're going to _____. I'd like to understand why/when."
- b) "I'd prefer if you would keep me in the loop, please."
- c) "Could we go over that before you do it again?"
- 5. Come To An Understanding. Let the other party discuss their thoughts, wants, and feelings as early in the conversation as possible. Forge a mutual agreement on how you both intend to respond in the future.
- a) "I'd like to form a plan to avoid this. How do you think this can be accomplished?"
- b) What do you think we can do to improve our communication?"
White-Haired Man Walking
If I visited your workplace, and an employee said about me, "It's an old, white-haired man" (BTW, my hair is light blond). What should I do?
- 1. Go to a third party and express my dislike
- 2. Show anger toward the commentator
- 3. Retaliate by finding something I dislike about them
- 4. Calmly discuss with the commentator my dislike
Seems pretty silly doesn't it? Have you ever done any of the above? Let's try the following, instead:
Pinch Meeting Procedure
- 1. Put your thoughts in writing before the meeting
- 2. Meet in a private room without interruptions
- 3. Turn off your phones
- 4. Communicate respectfully with understanding
- 5. Do not be angry, emotional or petty — treat each other with courtesy
- 6. Listen attentively
- 7. Forge an agreement, an understanding
- 8. Honor the agreement/
- 9. Do not share the agreement with anyone else
The majority of pinches should be resolved at this time; however, if a resolution is not completed, a facilitator might be needed for a second meeting. Try this pdf to guide you through the process (a form is included on the last page for employees to fill out).
At one time, I was the most accessible senior manager to over 100 employees. I found much of my time spent resolving conflicts, which had little to do with work. I had always considered myself someone who wanted to help others, but this was not the help I imagined. I wanted to help people improve work skills, character development, leadership training, etc. Resolving the conflict of one employee eating another's snacks didn't fit my definition of education. The Pinch Theory was introduced and incorporated. It was added to the policy book, introduced in new hire orientation, and explained in sub-group meetings. My time spent on work and non-work related conflicts was drastically reduced.

Hi all,
I just got back from another hectic 2 weeks in Baku, Azerbaijan with my Dad and his family and so I thought I'd write a report on it.
My first flight was from ABZ to LHR on 23/12/2005 to catch my connecting flight to GYD, operated by BMED for BA. The flight was on time, and got into LHR just after 11:30am. From here I went to catch a bus to Terminal 4 where BA6613 to Baku was due to depart at 1:35pm.
I cannot remember the registration number of the aircraft from ABZ to LHR.
When I boarded the flight to Baku, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was empty, and so got a row to myself, allowing me to recline and sleep some of the journey off. I actually found out that one of the cabin crew on this flight from LHR to GYD was on my flight from GYD to LHR in October. She recognized me and we got chatting, and I passed on my details as she said she would try to get me an upgrade. I was really chuffed!
When the flight was approaching GYD I noticed that it was raining heavily. Bearing in mind that I was landing on the very same night as the An-140 J2 flight crashed shortly after takeoff. Of course, we as passengers did not know this.
Aircraft was G-MEDG, the same aircraft I flew on GYD > LHR in October.
In GYD, I had to wait 20 minutes for the Visa guy to get the keys from the other side of the airport to open up the Visa room. Because of this, I was going through passport control behind the BMED crew that flew us into GYD. I began speaking with the First Officer about Baku and what my purpose of my journey was.
The next night my Dad and I went to Finnegan's pub and the BMED crew were in (this is now Christmas Eve). The First Officer noticed us and came over to speak to me and my dad and explained that he had been in the Gulf Wars and was a previous fighter pilot for the RAF. He too, like the stewardess took my details to try to get me upgraded. He also told me some very valuable information, which has boosted my drive to become a pilot.
My holiday was very enjoyable and mainly consisted of drinking copious amounts and celebrating Christmas with my little sister who is 1 3/4 years old and my 2 month old brother, as well as New Year.
When 06/01/2006 came, it was time to come home. My Dad drove me to GYD airport where he saw me through security and to check in where he left me. I approached check in and found that I was 6kg over my limit of 23kg. The duty manager gave me a slap on the wrist and told me not to do it again. What I was more concerned about was my seat. I was assigned 23F (from ba.com, where I chose it). "Ok..." I thought, they didn't manage to get me an upgrade. No worries.
I approached passport control after checking in and the BMED crew were already there, and to my surprise the same stewardess I was now friends with was again crew! She had told me she was due to only come back to Baku on the 7th, not depart it on the 6th! It was a nice surprise.
When we ready to board, we were, as usual, on a remote stand and so were bussed to it. Again, the aircraft was A321 G-MEDG.
Please check your spelling (press "Check Spelling" above)

Arab protestors attend special ceremony in Sakhnin, cry out: 'Barak, how many children have you killed today?' MKs present complain of Israel's 'racist policies', say they won't stop fighting for 'stolen land'

'Land Day' ceremonies took place worldwide in recent days. On Monday Balad Chairman Jamal Zahalka returned from one such rally in Paris.
Another protest took place in Budrus village, west of Ramallah, where protestors say 300 people were dispersed by the IDF. Three of them were reportedly injured because they tried to plant olive trees where the separation fence is being constructed.
The Higher Arab Monitoring Committee has planned another rally for the evening, to take place in the Negev.

I have this trike from two years ago, its still brand new, hardly used. I bought it because I wanted my 20 month old to be able to reach the petals. In short, this bike tips extremely easily. Besides the fact that it has a tiny seat and hard for the child to get on. It is not the least bit steady or safe for a toddler. I am surprised that radio flyer still makes this bike.

Good morning,
I tried to find a solution using the search function but it wasn't successful.
Zimbra 6.0.7
Outlook 2003 SP3
Windows 7 x64
Here's my problem:
I have approximately 1220 contacts in Zimbra and Outlook. After changing a contact (phone number, remarks,..) in Outlook I noticed that sometimes Zimbra didn't inherit the changes and vice versa.
I tried a lower sync token number without success and there is now failure notice or error message. I checked the issue on another Windows client with the same result. The Problem appeared also in Zimbra version 5.
Anyone knows a solution for this behaviour?
If you need any additional information don't hesitate to ask me
Thanks in advance.

The University of Central Oklahoma Native American Student Association kicked off Native American Heritage Month on Thursday with an afternoon of drumming, art, dance and food on Central's campus.
"Native American Heritage Month is an opportunity for the Central community to learn about a culture that they may have been surrounded by for years, but never formally presented with," said Stevie Johnson, coordinator of Central's Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
"Interactive entertainment, guest speakers and discussion will give attendees the opportunity to experience the ideas, languages, foods and customs of Native American culture," Johnson added.
Other events throughout the month include:
- Endangered Language, 6 p.m., Nov. 14, NUC 202: Learn the basics of the Muskogee Creek and Choctaw languages.
- "Rock Your Mocs," Nov. 15: The all-day event encourages students, faculty and staff to wear moccasins on campus.
- "Misrepresentation of My Nation," 6:30 p.m., Nov. 19, NUC 320C: A forum to examine stereotypes and misconceptions of Native Americans.
All events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.uco.edu/native-american-heritage, or contact the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at 405-974-3588.
