Tower Directories
Two forms of tower directory enable finding carillons and other tower bell instruments. Each has its own advantages.
Downloadable directory
A directory (9.2 MB) provides brief information about each of the North American carillons as follows:
This edition differs from the printed edition in two significant respects. First, Part I includes photos of some of the towers. Although these appear to be small, they are in high resolution, and thus can be zoomed to a large size without losing detail. Second, the email addresses and Web URLs that appear in some entries are active links (in those PDF readers which support such links). Thus they can be clicked to initiate email messages or to open Web pages.
Online directories
The WCF Website (in three languages) has a worldwide list of carillons (traditional action only), organized by region, country and city. For each instrument, it gives the number of bells and the names of the appointed players. Some entries also include one or more of the following: a Weblink for the instrument, its name, a Weblink for the player, or an email link for the player.
Information and maps are located at Tower Bells.

The U.S. men's basketball team brought home gold for a second consecutive Olympics last week. The competition was more fierce than in Olympics past, but it also saw many of the game's greatest players bow out due to the hefty toll on their bodies as well as the short recovery time for the upcoming NBA season.
Enter David Stern.
During this year's tournament, the NBA commissioner had some interesting thoughts on the Olympics and how players should be selected. Stern made the case that basketball should follow suit with the rules for Olympic soccer and institute an under-23 requirement for all participants.
The suggestion caused quite the ruckus among NBA headliners. But while some of the game's best and brightest continue to squabble over the idea, FIBA isn't buying it.
FIBA secretary general and IOC member Patrick Baumann acknowledged Stern's concerns and even expressed some of his own about the extended schedule during Olympic years.
"So there's an issue about length. One way to tackle that is by not bringing the older players," Baumann said, according to FIBA.com. "That's why the Commissioner [David Stern] has come up with 'why not go with U-23,' while at the same time promoting younger athletes and also making a difference between the FIBA Basketball World Cup and the Olympic Games."
But even in sympathizing with Stern's concerns Baumann held a firm stance in opposition to the rule, explaining that the U.S. is at a distinct advantage with only younger players being eligible.
"From a global perspective, the progress of the talent in all other countries doesn't go at the same speed or the same pace as the USA," Baumann said. "They don't all have a school system like the USA. So the ability for the rest of the world to produce a lot of talent is not the same as the USA. As a result of that, lowering the age to U-23 at the Olympics could actually widen the divide between the USA and the rest of the world."
The rule doesn't seem that unreasonable and while Stern's angst is legitimate, as long as players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and others continue showing up to play every four years there's no way that FIBA decides to cave to such demands.
So, apparently Kobe Bryant really is big in China.
There's nothing quite like preseason football. Get hyped, Browns fans!
Browns undefeated and in first place.Blaine Gabbert lighting up the box score.Yep, it must be preseason.

By most accounts, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has inherited a mess in the form of Microsoft's mobile strategy. Moreover, 14 years since then-CEO Steve Ballmer's infamous "developers, developers, developers" chant, Microsoft has confused, frustrated, and in some cases alienated developers with its multiple incompatible development platforms, in particular around mobile devices.
Microsoft's recent introduction of Universal Apps attempts to tackle both challenges at once. By enabling developers to build apps that target both Windows Phone devices and Windows 8 tablets, Microsoft aims to clear the air with developers, provide the means for unifying its mobile experience across devices, and jump-start its mobile app ecosystem.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/8/2012 (1831 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I'VE been spending a lot of time on Etsy, an online marketplace where you can buy and sell vintage and handmade goods. I've found some great stuff on the site and opened my own vintage shop -- which is a chance to clean out my closet and get rid of old treasures.
But now I'm thinking of creating some handmade goods of my own to sell on Etsy. The hardest part is figuring out what to make; I love to sew, bead and even paint.
People buying and selling goods on Etsy are from all over the world, but, for some reason, I've noticed "native style" goods seem to be among the most popular. I've got to get in on this.
I typed "native American" into the search bar of the U.S.-based site and got more than 43,000 hits. About 23,000 of those items were handmade, which is amazing. But do those numbers mean there are thousands of native Americans making goods on Etsy?
Nope. After some digging, I found out just a fraction of those items are actually made by native American hands. What's up with that?
Most artisans selling handmade native American items are open about not being native American themselves.
They are putting their own creative twist on traditional items, like a dream-catcher mobile made out of white porcelain, or a beaded ponytail holder with a modern look. They aren't claiming they are "authentic native American" items.
That's a good thing.
You could call it a gentle cultural appropriation, or "cultural borrowing" if you like. It doesn't offend me, but then again, I'm not out there trying to make a living making native art.
There probably isn't any harm meant. Artists just seem to find us inspiring. It could even be seen as a positive thing.
It's better for people to embrace our cultural items than to see them as "primitive" or worthless. It means we are not a forgotten people and are an acknowledged and valuable part of today's world.
Can I get a hey-ya!
It's lame, however, when huge retailers like clothing store Forever 21 use our iconography with impunity and don't even bother to find out a bit about the people they are modelling their clothing after.
I'm sure tons of money has been made from our symbols and items, by people other than us. Forget about land rights, if we could have copyrighted "native style" into the treaties we signed, we could all be very wealthy today.
Maybe I'd feel better about Forever 21 if they actually did a little research and maybe made a few donations to some worthy aboriginal scholarship funds.
The real problem with this situation is we need to get our aboriginal artists more integrated into this digital world, so they too can get their work out there. There's a whole world out there wanting to buy our handmade goods and art; all we have to do is make it available to them.
With all due respect, the world of native art doesn't begin and end with the Copper Thunderbird, Norval Morrisseau. There are thousands of aboriginal artists out there, just waiting to be nurtured and developed.
We've got to get our aboriginal artists savvy in marketing their work, not just locally, but internationally. Our aboriginal artists, by and large, also seem to be underselling their stuff. They have been for generations, which is a shame.
We need to value our art just as much as everyone else does. Because the reality is nobody does it better: Only aboriginal people can create authentic aboriginal art.

BWW Blog: Jesse Swimm of Tuacahn's MARY POPPINS - There's a Light At the End of the Tunnel
What do you get when you take a group of actors, 6 weeks of skate school, and a beautiful outdoor theatre? You get the regional premiere of Tuacahn's "Starlight Express". This past Thursday was the last time my quadruple threat cast (they can now add skating to their acting, singing, and dancing skill set) performed this high-octane show that has been thrilling audiences throughout Southern Utah all season long. For those that don't know the show it is the most unique experience on stage that you can have next to Cirque du Soleil. The concept is simple; through the mind of one young boy we get a glimpse into his imagination as he puts his trains to the test race after race. We have the good guys (Rusty & Poppa), the bad boys (Greaseball & Electra), and the girls who pine for them (Pearl & Dinah). All of this while skating on and off the stage as well as throughout the audience (the skate track actually weaved through the seats of Tuacahn) as they try to be the fastest train on the track.
Now you have to understand by no means were any of our cast professional skaters. I mean a lot of them had been to a roller rink or skated in a park but I don't truly think anyone knew exactly what they would be getting into when they were cast in this show. Fortunate for them however we had three incredible individuals who really helped with the process, Dustin Dubreuil (Electra), James Berkley (Trax), and Ben Tucker (Hopper 3). Each of them had been a member of "Starlight Express" either in London, Germany, or the tour. They put the cast through their paces and got them up to speed with some of the most difficult maneuvers on a skate rink that any of them have ever attempted. From day one of rehearsal to opening night it was such an incredible sight to witness. My friends not only learned how to skate but how to skate like x-game junkies, it was awesome. I saw them speed down the bowl, rabbit ear up the lip, and even flip into position; it was a sight to behold.
As the show continued it's successful run their skills got better and they continued to push the envelope up until the final musical number. You couldn't help but get caught up in the show and at times you felt like a kid. It was an adrenalin rush the minute the cast rolled onstage. You actually had the audience cheering for their favorite trains and booing for the ones they didn't as the story unfolded. All in all this show had heart and you could hear it in the voices of the cast. Steven Goldsmith as Rusty was lovable, and charming as his voice soared singing "Starlight Express" you couldn't help but get chills. His mentor Poppa (Mingo Long) was an incredible vocal master who could scat and riff like no one I have met. As for the "villains" of our show Todd Dubail as Greaseball oozed sexuality that basically ripped through the audience and Dustin Dubreuil (Electra) was as close to a heavy metal rocker as you could get. And we can't forget the ladies, Delaney Westfall as Pearl (get ready for her New York) had a soulful voice that shook you the core while Gail Bennett (Dinah) singing "U.N.C.O.U.P.L.E.D." had you laughing till tears were streaming down your face.
As the show came to a close and the final firework soared through the sky I was never more proud of what my friends had accomplished. I am always amazed at what we do as performers. No matter the challenge, no matter the task at hand we push ourselves to the brink. We go home bruised and scratched but at the end of it we come out shining and for a moment we take the audience with us as we head towards that final destination.
It's race time, time to start the show
Electra (Dustin Dubreuil) gets some last minute adjustments before the show
A final circle up before the show
"I'm just the fastest thing you've ever seen" (Todd Dubail)
Rolling Stock
Our international trains, Nintendo (Eric Badique), Ruhrgold (James Blashaw), and Turnov (Michael McGurk)
Prepping before the race (Gail Bennett)
Make sure those laces are tight (Kate Scott)
Fireworks galore (Thanks Brent)
Congrats on a show well done

Swine Palace operates with a dual mission to provide South Louisiana with high quality, professional productions of classical and contemporary theater with an emphasis on plays exploring issues of social equity while also serving as a training ground for students in Louisiana State University's M.F.A. Professional Actor and Technical/Design Training Programs.
Founded in 1992, Swine Palace is a non-profit, professional company supporting the educational mission of the Louisiana State University Department of Theatre. Since its inception, Swine Palace has produced over 68 productions including many regional and world premieres. Recent productions such as KING HEDLEY II, SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, THE EXONERATED and THE LARAMIE PROJECT have all contributed to Swine Palace's mission to produce plays of social relevance. In 2007, Swine Palace produced the world premiere of COCKTAIL, written by Vince LiCata and Obie award-winning theatre artist Ping Chong. Also in 2007, Swine Palace toured Wendy Wassersteins THE HEIDI CHRONICLES to the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre and the Bejing Central Academy of Drama becoming one of only a handful of American companies to perform at either of these prestigious institutions and the first to bring a professional production of a Wendy Wasserstein play to China.
Swine Palace is the recipient of the 2006 Louisiana Governor's Arts Award for Outstanding Large Arts Organization and the 2006 YWCA Racial Justice Award, given to an individual, organization or business for exceptional or creative contributions to the elimination of racism.
Over the course of 20 seasons, we have produced over 68 professional productions (including several World and American premieres) in which Louisiana born, resident and/or trained talent has been featured. As a learning laboratory for Louisiana performing artists, we take great pride in the fact that individuals associated with Swine Palace have also performed at prestigious theatre companies and in feature films, radio and television.
Since 1999, Swine Palace's estimated economic impact on Louisiana's economy is $4 million. (Source: Americans for the Arts economic impact calculator). Our greatest contribution to the economy is intangible. As a cultural entity, our role in enhancing the overall quality of life supports area industries seeking to attract and retain talented employees. With prominent press mentions in publications such a Southern Living, American Theatre Magazine, the Wall Street Journal and Theatre Journal, the positive press Swine Palace generates for Louisiana is a valuable contribution to the state's national reputation.
While our primary target audience are the residents of the 9-parish Capital Region, we regularly have patrons visit us from across the state and around the country. Through our educational outreach initiatives, we provide patrons with access to high-caliber, professional theatre produced locally rather than brought in from out-of-state. Our Pay-What-You-Can and $12 Sneak Preview performances place live theatre within reach of any citizen who desires to experience it. Furthermore, through our Project Lagniappe initiative, we distribute free tickets through area social service organizations to needy individuals. We also provide reduced priced tickets to area school groups and complementary curriculum guides to area teachers.
Our innovative Community Relations Task Force works with our artistic and administrative team to foster awareness about our productions and, when appropriate, help us seed key themes (i.e., tolerance) explored on stage in the community. To date, we have partnered with a variety of organizations including YWCA, LSU Office of Multi-Cultural Affairs, Capital City Alliance, LSU School of Human Ecology, U.S. Civil War Center, LSU Ag Center, LSU Women's Center, LSU Department of History, Spectrum Alliance, Louisiana State Museum, LSU Department of Communications Studies, LSU Department of English, Lesbian and Gay Community Center of New Orleans and Hate Crimes Project, University Presbyterian, Metropolitan Community Church of Baton Rouge, Louisiana Lagniappe, Women's Council, Baton Rouge Community College, Southern University, Loyola University, LSU Law Center, LSU School of Social Work, Innocence Project New Orleans, LA Justice Coalition, and 100 Black Men.
Over the years, Swine Palace has collaborated with such prestigious theatre companies as Ping Chong & Company, Shakespeare & Company and the SITI Company, New York. In the process, we've begun to place Louisiana's cultural scene on the national radar. As a professional theatre company, Swine Palace maintains a formal relationship with Theatre Communications Group, Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, Actors' Equity Association, and United Scenic Artists.

The maverick film-maker Ram Gopal Varma, who redefined the genre 'noir' in the Indian Cinema; is back with another underworld movie Satya 2. The movie releases day after tomorrow, i.e. November 8th. Ahead of the movie's release, he says this film will definitely be compared to the previous film Satya, which was one of his best movies.
"Comparisons are inevitable, you can't escape comparisons. But once the audience enters the theatre and if we manage to set a premise, after that the film has to be true to the characters in the story. Audience will make comparisons between both the films, but I hope Satya 2 makes a mark for itself," Varma told the media at a promotional event.
This movie, which is not a sequel to Satya, stars newcomers like Puneet Singh, Anaika Soti and Aradhna Gupta. The previous film also starred strugglers and newcomers like J D Chakravarthy, Manoj Bajpai, etc and it was a major hit and also a highly acclaimed movie. Now will Satya 2 do the same?

PORT RICHEY — The city has hired a new set of eyes to watch for red-light runners at its busiest intersections.
The City Council agreed last week to let Jacksonville-based Traffipax install its own camera at U.S. 19 and Ridge Road, pointing toward the three southbound lanes of the highway. It would replace a camera at the same spot by American Traffic Solutions, which backed out of its contract with the city in August.
Traffipax also plans to install a camera overseeing the three northbound lanes at that intersection.
The details of the Traffipax contract, including how the traffic ticket revenue will be divided and how soon the cameras will go up, will be ironed out by City Attorney Michael Brannigan in the coming weeks, said police Chief David Brown. The contract may also include installing cameras at U.S. 19 and Grand Boulevard, and at Leo Kidd Avenue and Ridge Road, Brown said.
"We'd like more intersections to be monitored, because it helps diminish crashes and save lives," Brown said. "Is there a monetary incentive for the city? Yes. But we expect you to be a good driver and abide by state law."
On May 2, the city began issuing tickets to red-light runners caught on the American Traffic Solution camera at U.S. 19 and Ridge Road. Port Richey became the first in Pasco and third in the state — behind Apopka and Gulf Breeze — to use the cameras.
The camera takes two pictures of the vehicle and its license plate — one right before the vehicle is at the white line, and another as it crosses the white line and enters the intersection.
Of the $125 citation, $85 goes to the city's general fund, and $40 to ATS.
Since May 2, Port Richey has issued about 1,900 citations, netting $109,565 for the city's general fund, according to the Police Department.
But the program hit a speed bump in August, when ATS backed out of its five-year contract with the city.
The company said then it was "unable to obtain permits to install additional red light cameras on Florida Department of Transportation and other rights of way, which prevented further expansion of the program."
Officials at ATS agreed to keep their camera in place until another company was hired.
Josh Weiss, spokesman for ATS, said his company rebid on the project after resolving its issues regarding installing additional cameras, although he declined to elaborate on what those issues had been.
The council voted unanimously last week to switch to Traffipax instead of keeping ATS.
Gulf Breeze, which uses Traffipax, says the system has operated smoothly since the city began using it in March 2006.
Since then, 4,000 citations have been issued at $100 each. The city keeps about half of that revenue, said Gulf Breeze police Chief Peter Paulding.
Two cameras on U.S. 98 and Daniel Drive track about 60,000 cars heading eastbound and westbound every day, Paulding said.
"Most crashes in the city happen on that roadway," he said.
Back in Port Richey, Mayor Richard Rober says the program has brought greater caution and safety to a major intersection in the city.
"I won't say it's a cure-all," Rober said, "but it definitely helps."

Extract substrings from long string based on connecting character
Technote (FAQ)
I have a string variable named EmployeeID in an SPSS Statistics data file. This variable has several blocks of information that are separated by hyphens. I wish to extract each of these blocks of information between the hyphens and store them in new string variables. The length of a given block may vary across cases but there will always be 5 blocks that are separated by 4 hyphens. The new variable names and the string length required for each are as follows:
Division 4
Region 4
Location 4
Team 8
Employee A
Can you provide a set of commands that would extract the blocks of information to new string variables?.
The syntax commands below assume that there is an active data file with the string variable EmployeeID, which contains the 5 blocks of information as described in the Question above. For this example, we'll assume that EmplyeeID has a width of 23 characters. The commands extract the substring between the beginning of EmployeeID and the first hyphen and saves that substring as Division. The substring and hyphen are removed from the input string and remaining substrings are extracted in a similar manner in turn.
Employrem is a string variable that contains the remainder of EmployeeID as each section is extracted from the EmployeeID content. Employrem becomes the input after Division is extracted so that EmployeeID is left intact and we can always look for the first hyphen in Employrem to extract the next variable.
New string variables must be declared with their widths before referencing them in other commands. The STRING command in the following syntax allows 4 characters each for Division, Region, Location, and Employee and 8 characters for Team as requested in the Question. Allowing more characters than needed should provide no problems but defining the variable with too few characters would prevent the relevant substring from being saved in the new variable. Employrem is declared to have a width of 23 characters, so that it could contain all of the content of EmployeeID.
Dash1 is a numeric variable that identifies the location of the first hyphen in EmployeeID (and later dash variables identify the first hyphen in the ever-shrinking employrem).
CHAR.INDEX(EmployeeID,'-') finds the first '-' in the string in EmployeeID.
CHAR.SUBSTR(EmployeeID,1,dash1-1) extracts a substring from EmployeeID, starting in position 1 for a length of (dash1 - 1) characters.
CHAR.SUBSTR(EmployeeID,dash1+1) extracts a substring from EmployeeID, starting in position dash1+1 (dropping the hyphen) to the end of EmployeeID (because the third argument, length of substring, was omitted).
* Commands to extract 5 substrings from EmployeeID .
string employrem (a23) division region location (A4) team (A8) employee (A4).
compute dash1=CHAR.INDEX(EmployeeID,'-').
compute division=CHAR.SUBSTR(EmployeeID,1,dash1-1).
compute employrem=CHAR.SUBSTR(EmployeeID,dash1+1).
compute dash2=CHAR.INDEX(employrem,'-').
compute region=CHAR.SUBSTR(employrem,1,dash2-1).

compute dash3=CHAR.INDEX(employrem,'-').
compute location=CHAR.SUBSTR(employrem,1,dash3-1).

compute dash4=CHAR.INDEX(employrem,'-').

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hello I am a licensed attorney here to help you with your question, please review my response and do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
I am a little confused of whos who on here and asked many questions but you should know the situation pretty well and you helped a lot.
I'm hoping to file as soon as possible and have everything ready. Here is my situation, let me know if you have any insight:
My corp has a 50,000 judgment against it and the inventory and cash in the company is valued less than the judgment amount so it has no value. I'm considering raising the prices to slow the sales to be sure the inventory doesn't deplete too much and converto to cash and end up being more in value than the judement amount......this shouldn't be an issue and still should be less than the $50,000 but something to consider. The main thing I need to figure out is this:
I had a debters exam to show the assets and everything for the corp 2 weeks ago. I went with an attorney and the other attorney was super busy and had 5 people all at once. (the attorney suing the corp subcontracted out to this guy for $75, thats what my attorney with me said). The guy was so busy that he just gave my attorney and myself a questionnaire and we filled it out to the best of our ability but didn't have a few minor things regarding the corp so we continued the exam for 2 1/2 months later. I should have wound down this corp well over a year ago when the guy who incorporated us screwed us and stole from the company and we found he filed nothing at all for the corp other than open it and help get a bank account. Anyway, now, with this judement against the corp by a shipping company we had to get the ball rolling quickly. We just finished having an accountant do quickbooks for the last 2 years and file everything that wasn't filed and also file our personal taxes that were behind as well. We paid everything owed personal and corporate but the corp we found out about a month ago was suspended. That too we paid up what was needed but it will be months before it gets processed....okay so thats the situation but here is what I need to figure out:
I have a new LLC Im in the process of opening so that I can wind down the current corp and do business in the new one so the new one will be making the sales and the old one winding down. I need your creative legal wisdom here. My wife and I have considered every angle we can and wanted to see what you can think of.
oops I didn't mean to send that yet, let me type some more before responding
I don't want to start now with the new company because I don't have anymore wild card exemption available to protect the new company if I start doing business through it and give it value. This leaves me the time between the 341 meeting and the 2nd deters exam to wind it down. This will be around a months time. I know the new corp can buy at fair market value the inventory from the old corp but I would need to use as much as possible of the funds paid to the old corp as soon as possible. I don't want to loot the company but wind it down as fast as legally possible. My wife and I only draw $1305 per week which is very low, we use to draw twice that a year ago so we could draw a little more I would think but what about still keeping a little inventory in there still doing a little business and paying ourselves and setting up a SEP IRA? or any other ideas to consider?
You can keep the prior corp and run it as your business, and let the bankruptcy court liquidate it
Typically the new corp can make an offer to purchase the inventory at below the FMV and should be done
Putting some liquid assets into an exempt asset is fine, but be aware of a possible fraus case if the trustee thinks you are trying to hide assets.
i don't understand about letting the bankrupcy court liquidate the business??? the business has no value to the trustee because its worth less than the $50,000 judement against it. There shouldn't be any problem with it in the bankrupcy its more after the bankrupcy winding it down and doing business in the new company after it gets through the bankrupcy
so the judgment is still on the bankruptcy, will they try to collect?
I meant the judgment is on the corp, and will not be discharged?
my bankruptcy attorney is going to list them so they can't come after me personally. They have a judgement only against the corp
then they can collect on the assets of the corp, so you will need to get rid of the assets as soon as possible.
It is best to put the liquid assets into exempt assets if possible,
thats correct. They haven't done anything yet other than the first debters exam. I tried settling with them and they never even responded to their own attorney when I had an attorney submit a formal offer. I think they might not be taking this seriously but I want to act as if they are. I have nothing in the main corp account and I will be using my corporate paypal account and the debit card linked to it. I'm told a paypal account can't be frozen. The inventory is at a 3rd party fulfillment center. Hopefully they don't go there but they could at anytime. The original requested info for the debters exam said in the letter "as of this date" which was Jan 26th so my attorney had me only provide them with the inventory and info as of that date so they don;t really know anything after that and might just wait until the next exam hopefully
how fast can you sell the items?
so what exempt assets could I put the corp assets into? your not refering to the bankrupcy here right? just to the judement right?
Will you be doinf this after the bankruptcy or prior?
If this is going to be done after the bankruptcy, I would remove all assets and inventory and put them into the new corp. and leave what was listed in the old.
at my normal pace I should be able to sell most of the inventory in the month between the 341 and next beters exam but I will have a fair amount of cash from the sale or if selling at FMV to the new company the olf one will have the cash from the sale and I'll need to do something with it
what was listed???
I would not do it during the bankruptcy, as any cash if not exempted will be taken
Listed in the debtors exam
ya, I'm not doing it durring the bankruptcy because that would put value into the new company. i don't know what you mean. are you saying leave the $0 that was listed in the debters exam??? The inventory listed was as of January 26th
you don't mean to leave what inventory was listed right?
Whatever you listed in the debtors exam should be kept, everything else you should remove
If you listed all inventory, than you have a problem of a potential lawsuit
that doesn't seam to make seance? They requested everything for the exam as of the date january 26th. Was I supposed to stop the business when I was served with the papers for the deters exam? I was served in early april, even if that was the case I would have had no idea I was supposed to stop back in january when served in April. Can you clarify? I was under the impression I can keep doing business unless they attach to the inventory or account. they have done nothing but request info (debters exam) so after an exam I'm supposed stop all business???
you can continue business,
In a lawsuit however, when you list inventory in a debtors exam, the collections agency is entitled to collect on those listed assets, and if they try to recover them, you may encounted a problem as they will say that you fraudulantly sold them off.
so what if they never tried to collect them, am i required to keep them sitting in the fulfillment center that I am paying?
it doesn't make seance..... what I have is there and im not stopping them, don't i have the right to keep selling???
3439.04. (a) A transfer made or obligation incurred by a debtor isfraudulent as to a creditor, whether the creditor's claim arosebefore or after the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred,if the debtor made the transfer or incurred the obligation asfollows: (1) With actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditorof the debtor. (2) Without receiving a reasonably equivalent value in exchangefor the transfer or obligation, and the debtor either: (A) Was engaged or was about to engage in a business or atransaction for which the remaining assets of the debtor wereunreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction. (B) Intended to incur, or believed or reasonably should havebelieved that he or she would incur, debts beyond his or her abilityto pay as they became due. (b) In determining actual intent under paragraph (1) ofsubdivision (a), consideration may be given, among other factors, toany or all of the following: (1) Whether the transfer or obligation was to an insider. (2) Whether the debtor retained possession or control of theproperty transferred after the transfer. (3) Whether the transfer or obligation was disclosed or concealed. (4) Whether before the transfer was made or obligation wasincurred, the debtor had been sued or threatened with suit. (5) Whether the transfer was of substantially all the debtor'sassets. (6) Whether the debtor absconded. (7) Whether the debtor removed or concealed assets. (8) Whether the value of the consideration received by the debtorwas reasonably equivalent to the value of the asset transferred orthe amount of the obligation incurred. (9) Whether the debtor was insolvent or became insolvent shortlyafter the transfer was made or the obligation was incurred. (10) Whether the transfer occurred shortly before or shortly aftera substantial debt was incurred. (11) Whether the debtor transferred the essential assets of thebusiness to a lienholder who transferred the assets to an insider ofthe debtor. (c) The amendment to this section made during the 2004 portion ofthe 2003-04 Regular Session of the Legislature, set forth insubdivision (b), does not constitute a change in, but is declaratoryof, existing law, and is not intended to affect any judicialdecisions that have interpreted this chapter.3439.05. A transfer made or obligation incurred by a debtor isfraudulent as to a creditor whose claim arose before the transfer wasmade or the obligation was incurred if the debtor made the transferor incurred the obligation without receiving a reasonably equivalentvalue in exchange for the transfer or obligation and the debtor wasinsolvent at that time or the debtor became insolvent as a result ofthe transfer or obligation.
you do have the right to conduct business, however if they have a judgment,
transferring assets will without fair market value is an issue.
In my opinion I would sell the inventory as soon as you can, and consider filing a corporate chapter 7 later on.
ya, I would only sell it at FMV and all should be good, I just want to get the bankruptcy over and done with
than you need to make sure the money is exempted, in bankruptcy and collections so an IRA might be best.
the cash in the corp should be fine in bankruptcy right? assuming the cash and inventory combined value is less than the $50,000 judgement right
The trustee may investigate the inventory and see whether it is part of your personal assets.
thats fine, its clearly not...anything else to be concerned with
also, if the crediter were to come after me personally because they thought something was fraudulent would they not be able to because they are going to be listed in the personal bankruptcy?
If the debtor is an individual or the debtors are husband and wife, and are operating a corporation or limited liability company, or are principals in a partnership or limited liability partnership, the businesses are not per se assets of the bankruptcy estate, but the shares of stock, membership interest, or partnership interest is an asset of the bankruptcy estate. The debtor is permitted to continue operating the business unless and until the Chapter 7 trustee instructs otherwise. In most cases, if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, so is the debtor's business. Similarly, in most cases, the business assets are encumbered by liens in favor of creditors, are leased, are immaterial in value, or some combination of the three.
A Chapter 7 trustee is more likely to permit the debtor to continue operating his or her business if the debtor has proper insurance in place. Chapter 7 trustees are often concerned that they will be liable to third parties injured on the debtor's business premises. Accordingly, the debtor is urged to maintain all appropriate business insurance, including but not limited to liability insurance, if the debtor seeks to continue operating his or her business.
They would argue that the lawsuit against you is for a different issue than a debt liability, it would be a fraud case, but those are very rare
The above is a summary on the Law for Individuals who file bankruptcy when they have a corporation as an asset
also, if the crediter were to come after me personally because they thought something was fraudulent would they not be able to because they are going to be listed in the personal bankruptcy?
They would argue that the lawsuit against you is for a different issue than a debt liability, it would be a fraud case, but those are very rare and I would not eve worry about it, as they could have colleceted several months ago.
The fact they did not collect, shows they are not serious about the debt owed
ya thats how it seams and i want to get the bankruptcy done and over with. so to conclude let me as the last thing:
if there is about $10,000 left in cash from buying inventory from the old corp, what do you think would be something to consider to wind down that money.....SEP IRA etc?
yes, an IRA would be fine
As it is exempt in bankruptcy
im not refering to the bankruptcy, only after which is when i will be selling the inventory at FMV to the new LLC and need to use the cash
10,000 left if put into a sep IRA is fine for collection purposes in a civil suit as well
The below is summary of California's garnishment exemptions. Overall, the state has one of the more complex schemes of exemptions, and any California debtor who may face garnishment or other collections efforts is well advised to seek legal assistance to make sure he or she is taking advantage of all the protections available to him or her.)

Lois Lowry's Blog
knit one, purr two
Today, once again, we in Maine are snowbound. 10 inches, they predict. But this time I have no plane to catch...only a theater ticket for tongiht, and the play will probably be re-scheduled. So I am cozily at home, with a fridge full of food; and I decided to use this unexpected time to deal wiht a negected project.
No, not a book manuscript, though that is also on the agenda.
This is: knitting. I used to knit a lot. Then I got a kitten and knitting became a lost cause. You simply can't knit with a kitten in the house. So I tucked it all away, and when I moved last spring, I moved several tote bags filled with yarn, knitting paraphernalia, and some half-done projects. I put them in a closet in my new house. And there they have sat until today, when I decided to sort through them and organize them and re-identify myself as a knitter.
There were a lot of quandries...one third of a baby blanket? Half a hat? Part of a mitten? quandries. Most of those things got tossed out.
And then there were things like this:
I remember starting that scarf. It was tedious. But the yarn was expensive...so do I want to throw all that work...and all that $$$$....away? Maybe I will take this up again.
But what about this?
This is one blue striped sock, and maybe two inches of the second. Do I care about these socks enough to resurrect and resume this?
And now that I have organized all the balls of yarn in the drawers of a chest on my sunporch, and another drawer now holds all the needles and stitch-holders and scissors ...and another contains various pages of instructions, and some pictures of potential projects...
I realize that I still have THIS to worry about, even though THIS will be three years old on April 1st:
Oh dear. Meow.
The sock on the chair with Lulu underneath is very familiar to me. I made this pair for my oldest daughter years ago. She wears them all the time, they show no signs of wear and she loves them. At the time it was a struggle to finish them and it was when I learned I don't like to knit socks. But I finished them and every time I see her put them on it warms my heart. So, please finish them. You'll be glad you did. I have many UFOs...as all us crafters do. Sometimes they reach completion. But even if they don't, I've usually learned something.
Dear Ms. Lowry, I LOVE that you are a knitter. I had a feeling you would be, and I found this post on Google a few minutes ago. I, as the rest of my colleagues and friends in Savannah, GA are excited to meet you next week. Wishing you a finished pair of socks and safe traveling to the South. Kind regards, Patty Knight

text: NEW YORK ( TheDeal) -- Merz Pharma Group withdrew its offer for Obagi Medical Products Inc., ( OMPI ) which is under a $420 million merger agreement with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., ( VRX ) leaving the Valeant deal presumably to move forward on a fast track. Acquisitive Valeant, however, pulled and refiled its application for antitrust approval last week, raising some question about whether the Federal Trade Commission wants to probe the transaction further. Valeant shares slipped 0.4% to $71.80 while Obagi fell 0.1% to $23.95. Valeant announced a $19.75 per share deal March 20 to acquire Obagi, which has business in the physician-dispensed skin care markets. Merz had failed to make a firm offer before the sale to Valeant was complete and moved in with a $22 per share spoiler bid. Valeant swiftly countered with a $24 per share revised merger. Merz said Monday it would back down because the price no longer met their economic requirements. Merz said Obagi was an opportunity worth pursuing given its complementary fit with Merz's portfolio of injectables and that it looks forward to exploring other acquisition opportunities that fit its strategy. Obagi was seen as an opportunity for Germany's Merz to expand its foothold in North America. The company has said it had other acquisition opportunities that could address the same initiative. Valeant and Obagi refiled applications under the Hart-Scott-Rodino rules after making an initial filing March 25 that would have had an April 9 deadline at the FTC. A filing on the tender offer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5 noted that after discussions with the FTC staff on April 4, Valeant voluntarily withdrew and refiled its application. Obagi said Valeant is of the position that the refiling may facilitate the completion of the FTC's review. The move is a common maneuver by merger parties to reset the clock on the HSR waiting period. Once the waiting period expires, the FTC is obligated to clear the deal or launch a more thorough second request for information. Since the deal is structured as a tender offer, the HSR initial review period is only 15 days and would expire on April 19. The Obagi tender offer is set to expire April 23. The companies have asked for early termination of the waiting period.

|90×10mm wheel with tire removed.
These wheels are designed to press-fit securely onto the 3mm D output shafts on many of our gearmotors, including our micro metal gearmotors and our mini plastic gearmotors. They also work with our 35:1 and 115:1 15.5D metal gearmotors, as well as with our selection of Solarbotics metal gear motors. The wheels have silicone tires and measure 90 mm (3.54?) in diameter. Six additional mounting holes for 4-40 screws make it possible to use the wheel with any of our universal mounting hubs. The slots in the six spokes allow additional accessories to be mounted to the wheel (e.g. decorations or parts of an encoder system).
Note: Our high-traction sticky tires can be stretched to fit around the hubs of these 90×10 mm wheels, but the fit is not great, and you might need to use glue to keep them on the hubs.
The left picture below shows this wheel mounted to a 37D mm metal gearmotor with a universal mounting hub for 6mm shafts, and the right picture below shows this wheel mounted to a micro metal gearmotor.
We have similar wheels available in different sizes and colors:
|Black Pololu wheels with 90, 80, 70, 60, 40, and 32 mm diameters (other colors available).
|Pololu wheels with 90, 80, 70, and 60mm diameters in three colors: blue, red, and yellow.
People often buy this product together with:

Has anyone modded the Winsome Labs Mouse?
Im asking because I want to make the highs a little sweeter and maybe get more power out of it. Anyone have pics, parts lists and advice?
Did using bypass caps on the input caps have any effect?
Hi dweekie, since I didnt have any DIY experience back then I was too chicken to try. I can do a little soldering now so I can try that mod. I was thinking something more along the lines of recasing and trying larger parts that wont fit in the standard Mouse case. I think its a great amp but Id like to push it to its limits sound quality wise with a few mods.
Im starting to like using the iron when I have time but I dont know much about circuits and I need lots of pictures. Im slowly but surely getting the hang of this.

TPWD Website: http://tpwd.texas.gov
TPWD News Release — March 28, 2013
Pack caught the fish in 10 feet of water using a Carolina rig while fishing in hydrilla. The bass weighed 13.29 pounds and was 26.75 inches long and 20 inches in girth. It will be held at the A.E. Wood State Fish Hatchery in San Marcos until the results of DNA testing are known. If the fish is pure Florida largemouth bass, it will be moved to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens for spawning.
Lake Austin has now produced19 largemouth bass that have been entered into the ShareLunker program. It trails Lake Fork, with 253 entries; Lakes Alan Henry and O. H. Ivie, with 25 each; Sam Rayburn, with 23; and Falcon, with 20. Lake Conroe has 16 entries and Choke Canyon, 13.
Anyone legally catching a 13-pound or bigger largemouth bass from Texas waters, public or private, between October 1 and April 30 may submit the fish to the Toyota ShareLunker program by calling the ShareLunker hotline at (903) 681-0550 or paging (888) 784-0600 and leaving a phone number including area code. Fish will be picked up by TPWD personnel within 12 hours.
Anglers entering fish into the Toyota ShareLunker program receive a free replica of their fish, a certificate and ShareLunker clothing and are recognized at a banquet at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center in Athens.
For complete information and rules of the ShareLunker program, tips on caring for big bass, a list of official Toyota ShareLunker weigh and holding stations and a recap of last year's season, see http://tpwd.texas.gov/sharelunker. The site also includes a searchable database of all fish entered into the program along with pictures where available.
Information on current catches, including short videos of interviews with anglers when available, is posted on www.facebook.com/sharelunkerprogram.

Although Maekawa didn't walk away with an award; the nominations, coming just six years after he founded his Tokyo-based Ikiume (Buried Alive) company, illustrate how this Niigata native's imaginative plays — commonly featuring aliens, the future, parallel realities and occult powers — are causing a stir in Japan's contemporary theater scene. Since April, he has had at least one play running in Tokyo.
Maekawa's latest play, "'Semaki Mon Yori Haire (Enter Through the Narrow Gate)," a title derived from a passage in the Gospel of St. Matthew of the New Testament ("the wide gate leads to destruction") opens next week at the Parco Theater in Shibuya, Tokyo. It was written for the Tokyo-based theater group Team Saru (Team Monkey), headed by leading stage and screen actor Kuranosuke Sasaki.
The play stars Michihiko Amano (Sasaki), a 30-something office worker who, having grown tired of his job, returns to live with his parents who run a konbini (convenience store) somewhere in the sticks. The story spirals out of the ordinary when Sasaki and four friends are joined by a strange man who proclaims that Judgment Day is near. He gives them a choice: stay in this world or follow him to another, better place.
I caught up with Maekawa at a rehearsal studio in Shinjuku.
What brought you to the theater world? At university I spent my free time making short films, which sometimes starred a friend of mine who was a member of a drama group. After we graduated, that friend founded a theater company. I went to work at an online bookselling company, but I sometimes went to see my friend's performances. Later I started to write for his company and gradually got more involved with theater — especially after I realized it costs a lot less to stage a play than it does to make a film.
In 2003, I quit my job and founded my own theater company, Ikiume. My parents were pretty angry about that (laughs) . . . but I didn't hesitate because I somehow felt it would work out fine.
What has inspired you to create such unusual work? By nature, I am interested in the spiritual world and religions. I wanted to study such concepts, and Toyo University (in Tokyo) was famous for philosophy. In particular, I studied French philosophy, and I suppose all that stuff has strongly influenced my theatrical imagination.
"Semaki Mon Yori Haire," has been described as a play about the Apocalypse. Why choose such a dark subject? I've been interested in the Apocalypse idea for ages — most of my life, really. When I was growing up, everyone talked about the end-of-the-world predictions of Nostradamus. Now some say the Apocalypse is near because the Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012.
With 2012 just round the corner, I wanted to do a play about the subject now.
I am not that worried about the end of the world. Actually, if the population suddenly decreased enormously, it would probably be better for the Earth. But generally most people think about such things from their own perspective, and usually that means they like to imagine a future that offers them comfort .
In my new play, a prophet predicts global disaster and then offers to save some people from the catastrophe. The question is: Will it be those who stay, or those who go with him who will survive?
The hero, played by Amano, used to do the hiring and firing at his company, so having experienced being a selector, he now finds himself in the passive position. The play takes the idea of the Apocalypse and relates it to our daily lives. It gives audiences a chance to see things from a different and opposite perspective. For this play you appear to have moved away from the simple stage sets that you are famous for.
This is the first time in a long time that I have decided to use a realistic set: the interior of a Japanese konbini. My aim is to extend that mundane setting to encompass a global theme. So, for example, if someone goes to a real konbini after seeing my play, and feels that there's something uncanny about the store they are in, I'll be very happy.
After your nominations for the Yomiuri Theater Awards, you must have received all kinds of offers. Have you ever thought about changing direction? If I was offered a completely new project that I'm interested in, I wouldn't be afraid of the challenge — like directing Kabuki or Noh, for example. But if it's a role that could be done just as well by somebody else with similar theater experience, I doubt I would be interested.
At the moment I'm directing and writing for other theater companies as well as for Ikiume. But I want to keep Ikiume as my artistic base, even though it's not really very large scale.
What do you regard as "good theater?" I always think people see the world as they want to see it — the same way lovers are blind to their loved one's faults. If something goes missing in a room that is familiar to people, those people can easily overlook the fact it has gone simply because they are living according to their own expectations. There cannot be one definitive "real" thing in the world. Everyone has a different idea of the "real" — just as everyone's definition of the color blue may be different. My plays are based on such individual ambiguities.
What is important to me is the creation of realistic yet incredible stories for the stage.
"Semaki Mon Yori Haire" runs from Aug. 17 to Sept. 6 at the Parco Theater, an 8-minute walk from JR Shibuya Station. It tours Kurashiki, Osaka, Hiroshima and Fukuoka from Sept. 9-17. For more details, call the Parco Theater on (03) 3477-5858, or visit www.parco-play.com

MvcPowerTools Preview - Query and Command Controllers
MPT gives you a helping hand if you want to use Query or Command Handlers . While not exactly the same implementation as Jimmy's, it's the same idea, only combined with the Handler Controller approach (in a nutshell, the Controller is the action and its methods handle GET/POST, very similar to WebApi or REST approach). It also makes use of the One Model In, One Model Out convention.
Note that these are opinionated choices, alternatives and not yet another silver bullet solution. Just another way to do things, that might suit your style. Enough said, let's see some code (pasted directly from an app I did recently, and yes, that's ALL the controller and handler code).
public class TagsListController : QueryController<PagedInput, TagsListModel>
public override ActionResult Get(PagedInput input)
return Handle(input);
public class TagsListHandler : IHandleQuery<PagedInput, TagsListModel>
private readonly IQueryTaxonomyStats _stats;
public TagsListHandler(IQueryTaxonomyStats stats)
_stats = stats;
public TagsListModel Handle(PagedInput input)
var model = new TagsListModel();
model.Page = input.Page;
model.Resources = _stats.GetTagList(input.ToPagination());
return model;
Let's see: you have an input model (PagedInput) received by the controller. The controller just asks the base QueryController to handle it, in essence, to return the view (output)model for that input. All that the query controller does is to use the Dependency Resolver to invoke the defined handler that accepts PagedInput and returns TagsListModel. In this specific scenario I'm using a repository, but I could have just used an ORM directly. The handler's job is to assemble the view model and here it's quite trivial.
You may ask yourself why should we bother with this when we could've put that handler behaviour directly in the controller. The answer is: decoupling. TagsListHandler is somewhere outside asp.net mvc, UI, in my app is part of the QueryModel project . Also, as you can see, it doesn't depend on asp.net, controllers, HttpContext etc. It's totally decoupled from the UI and this means it easy to test and it can be reused outside asp.net mvc.
So, TagsListController's job is simply to build the input model (in this case it doesn't have to do anything) that will be use by the query handler. And all controller handling queries look like this one. The important part is the query handler itself, which is just a class from a querying layer.
Now let's see a command controller.
public class AddInformationsController : CommandController<AddInformationsModel,NoResult>
public ActionResult Get()
var model = new AddInformationsModel();
return View(model);
public override ActionResult Post(AddInformationsModel model)
return Handle(model,
d =>
c => c.Get(new BrowseResourceInput() {Type = ResourceType.Informations})));
public class AddInformationsHandler:IHandleCommand<AddInformationsModel,NoResult>
private readonly IDispatchMessages _bus;
public AddInformationsHandler(IDispatchMessages bus)
_bus = bus;
public NoResult Handle(AddInformationsModel model)
//map model to domain entity
//add entity to storage
//publish domain event
return new NoResult();
So, I want to add an information. The Get method returns a view with an empty view model. Then, the form is submitted and the Post method is invoked. The command controller will use the DependencyResolver to request and execute a handler which takes an_ AddInformationsModel_ input (command) and returns NoResult (if you want to return let's say an id, define a class SomethingId encapsulating the id and use that instead of NoResult). Please excuse the pseudocode comments, the actual code is irrelevant here. The controller's Handle method second argument is a lambda for what to do after the command is handled successfully, in this case a redirect. Again, the advantage is that we keep the command handler outside of UI, decoupled from asp.net mvc. In this example, the handler is part of the Domain (I don't have a Services layer).
As you can see, the controllers are as slim as they can get (1-2 lines of code) while the real logic is in the proper layer. And if you followed closely, you could see a convention at work here: TagsListController, TagsListModel, TagsListHandler. If the input model had more then a 'page' property, I would have had a TagsListInput class as well. It's easy, even now, after a few good months to go directly to the class I need, when I want to change something.
A final note, this approach really require the use of a DI Container and of course, the handlers need to be registered with one.

Chinese students thrive in U.S. colleges
CHICAGO — When Zipeng "Frank" Jiang arrived in the United States for the first time, he was a 16-year-old Chinese honors student with big dreams, limited English skills and no idea how to recover the carry-on bag that the flight crew had taken for last-minute check-in.
"It was my carry-on luggage, so all my important stuff was in it: my ID, a bunch of cash, my laptop," said Jiang, who came here to attend boarding school.
"I basically had my backpack and my saxophone with me. The dorm director picked me up, and he's like, 'Where's your stuff?' and I'm like, 'I lost it.' I'm pretty sure I left a bad first impression."
Jiang's next few months at The King's Academy in rural Seymour, Tenn., were similarly stressful, as he battled homesickness, scrambled to get up to speed on idiomatic English and struggled with everything from fast-food refills to classroom etiquette.
Five years later he's a Northwestern senior with a JPMorgan Chase & Co. internship and windsurfing lessons under his belt, strolling confidently across campus in red suede loafers and greeting classmates with waves, hugs and Facebook references.
"I've never regretted for a second that I came here," he said of Northwestern. "I've really enjoyed it."
Jiang is part of a new generation of high-powered Chinese students increasingly looking to America for a college education. Facing a shortage of spots at top universities at home and drawn by the prestige of U.S. schools and the opportunity for international experience, 57,000 Chinese undergraduates attended U.S. colleges in 2011, up from 10,000 in 2007.
"Five or 10 years ago, going abroad was considered what dumb rich kids did, and now it's considered what smart middle-class kids do," said Xueqin Jiang, former director of the international division at Peking University High School. "That's a huge shift right now in China."
The trend appears to be accelerating, Xueqin Jiang said, with Chinese students coming to America to prepare for college while in high school or even middle school.

I don't know who Don is, but as Bill Walton might say: Greenwood *clearly* produces the smartest basketball minds this side of Bedford.
Q. As far as Jermaine (O'Neal) is concerned, what difference is there between playing forward and center besides jump balls and matchups? I don't understand why we wouldn't leave Jermaine at center if (Austin) Croshere keeps producing at forward as he has. Jermaine still scores, blocks shots and dominates in either position.
Clearly, Croshere is currently making more things happen on the floor than (Scot) Pollard or (Jeff) Foster did last season. I think we should leave Jermaine at center so Croshere can play forward and allow Foster and Pollard to substitute when needed. (From Don in Greenwood, IN)
A. You raise an interesting point, because the line between power forward and center is blurred, when it comes to O'Neal and the Pacers. On offense, for all intents and purposes, he is the center. He's the primary low-post option and the opponent's biggest and best interior defender invariably is assigned to guard him. Defensively, however, the Pacers prefer to have an additional big body on the floor to absorb the punishment of guarding the opposing team's primary low-post scorer. This not only saves wear-and-tear on O'Neal, but frees him up to be a help-side shot-blocker.
Thus far this season, the Pacers have been much more effective, offensively, with Croshere at power forward and O'Neal at center. But they've been much less effective, defensively, and defense remains the first priority for Coach Rick Carlisle and his staff. As soon as either Pollard or Foster returns to full health, expect one to replace Croshere in the lineup because of the need for defense.
That said, you could build a strong case O'Neal would benefit from being listed at center, even with Foster (or Pollard) on the floor. There is no shortage of premier power forwards in the NBA, so it hard to stand out in a pack that includes Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan and Chris Webber. At center, on the other hand, there is only one other premier player, and his name also happens to be O'Neal. Changing the position label wouldn't change anything about J.O.'s assignments, matchups, or responsibilities. But it could give him a major boost when it comes time for MVP ballots to be counted.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
"Is he bi-polar or have some kind of menta .."
Your question had gotten cut off but if you're asking if he has a bipolar disorder or not, bipolar disorder is a mood disorder in the depressive condition's spectrum. It is marked by mania and depression. You've mentioned that his mood is pretty consistent otherwise except the anger outbursts and the high expectations and lack of sympathy. If he has never been manic and then had a period of severe depression, most likely other things are causing his behavior. Note that increased sense of esteem will be present at all times in someone with narcissistic traits versus someone who is manic (he'd feel that way mostly during the manic episode)
Some speculations (since he would need a face to face evaluation for a concrete diagnosis) are: traits of obsessive compulsive disorder, narcissistic traits (due to his lack of empathy) intermittent explosive disorder. People can have different traits of various conditions and not meet full criteria for a diagnosis. Moodiness/anger can be caused by depression (not necessarily bipolar disorder) Hormonal changes (high levels of testosterone also can trigger aggression/irritability)
His behavior can also be opportunistic. He's made a habit of acting this way and believes that he can carry on treating you like this because he does not suffer any consequences in return. If he refuses to get to see a professional, that can also be as a result of personality disorder traits.
His father was very abusive and controlling as he was growing up. His mom stood by and watched his dad abuse him and also suffered in silence to his dad's controlling and verbal abuse. He started abusing drugs and alcohol at age 13 and even though now he only smokes weed he still abuses it and drinks a lot. I can't make him stop or cut back on that, I can't get him to see that his verbal abuse is destroying our family and I can't make him see things as they really are, so what can I do?! I agree he has been allowed to mistreat me with really no consequences but is it too late to change that now? I have told him, if this continues I will be leaving and taking our son and his response "is life goes on". As far as his moods go, he generally wakes up angry and irritated. The only time he isn't is when he comes back from mountain biking and even that mood only lasts a few hours before he is back to his negative, angry, mean self. If I know he needs psychological help or he needs a consequence to his behavoir I'd know which way to go or better how to respond to him. What direction should I go? Can you help me understand more about the personality traits you mentioned; what they are, etc...
"..so what can I do? is it too late to change that now? What direction should I go?"
You are correct about not being able to change him. In the event that he has a personality disorder of sorts, these sort of disorders are not per se curable. Someone who has even the traits of such a disorder (narcissistic, obsessive compulsive personality disorder, etc) can manage their behavior only if they chose to. In his case, from what you've shared and the pattern of his behavior thus far, past behavior is a decent predictor of future behavior. Besides him not wanting to change (or even engage in some sort of self introspection and see how his behavior affects others), it may be a case where this behavior is all he knows (meaning what you see is what you get; he's not depriving others of the better side of himself because that side is either minimal or non existent)
If you look back, there must of been something that had attracted you to him in the past. If you believe that this part of him is still there, you can try to access it (talk about him how things were at one point, ask him where does he think all of these things had gone/what had caused that, etc) Of course, he has to be open to talk to you. All you're trying to do is see it from his point of view (what makes him unhappy if he knows what that is, what angers him, does he have any hopes/dreams and so on) He does not sound like a happy person. Someone who is angry most of the time must feel miserable deep down inside. You may want to think about connecting with others in similar situations and see what they've got to say. There are some free online support groups and you can do it anonymously.
You already realize that you cannot change him and that he has to want to change. Then, you've got to think about how you would want to live your life hence forth.

Perfect Mother's Day Gifts? You Might Want to Stay Away From the 'Scarf Flask.'
So, you're thinking about a gift for mom with Mother's Day this Sunday. You've left it to the last minute though haven't you? Heck, according to a recent poll 74% of people plan Mother's Day less than a week ahead of time . . . 6% make no plans at all and just WING IT . . . and only 33% bother to make a reservation if they're taking their mom to a restaurant.
If this is the case with gift buying, well, three quarters of you are thinking about what to get now, this week. Yesterday, on air, I mentioned a product that is being marketed as "the perfect Mother's Day gift." Now, if you heard this and thought 'Yeh, that sounds like it would work for my mom' then you are in trouble as I'm not sure mom would find the 'Scarf Flask' to be really all that special. Plus if it is the perfect gift, well you and your mom need to talk.
I mean they do come in many fashionable styles and colors but, well, having not be that high on Mother's Day list may just be me.
There's some very cool local ideas here from Hudson Valley Good Stuff.
Strolby.com has handmade gifts items from 'pioneering tastemakers' in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley.
Is mom a baseball fan? Maybe the Hudson Valley Renegades can help you out on Sunday.
How about a spa treatment with Hudson Valley Resort.
Experience the Hudson Valley is a great local resource too.
If you don't have a lot to spend here's a couple of links from US News and World Report.
Not a lot of money but still want mom to get a smile on Sunday?
How about another that's also thrifty?
Some nice ideas from Huffington Post too.
Guys? Here's a great one from Ask Men.
As to gifts that are more in line with the 'Scarf Flask' here's some stuff to most probably avoid.
I especially like the tips on parenting book.
Now go make that brunch or dinner reservation by the way.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Catholics are having mixed emotions about the news of Pope Benedict XVI's resignation as Bishop John Noonan of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando makes a public announcement Monday morning.?
85-year-old Pope Benedict XVI or Joseph Ratzinger will step down at the end of the month. In a letter, Benedict cites his strength has deteriorated.
"This announcement is one of great humility and courage. He has always been a model to older persons since being elected the Supreme Pontiff at the age of 78," said Bishop Noonan. "Today at the age of 85, he is showing us the Light of Christ, who he is. In humility and courage, he is announcing it's time for him to step down."
It's the first time a pope has resigned in nearly 600 years.
"We are blessed to have the grace of Pope Benedict XVI as a priest and shepherd of the Catholic Church," Bishop Noonan said.
"He's done an excellent job, he's been a great Pope," Melvin Marshalek said. "I don't know why he'd been resigning."
"I'm very disheartened to hear that he's not going to be able to continue on," Julie Schneider said.
Others say Benedict's announcement is just fitting, as the church marks the World Day of the Sick.
"I would be concerned about his health, might be his health more so than his age," Larraine Farrell told Local 6.
Overall, people were most concerned about his health, because they believe the future of the church will be in good hands.
"I was a little shocked, but I'm also scared that he's also got something very seriously wrong with him," another churchgoer told Local 6.

And there is one more piece of interesting news from these leaked shots. It looks like Siri has been undergoing some intensive language training and will be adding Japanese to the list of languages that the voice activated personal assistant supports. As we told you, Apple plans to give Siri the ability to "speak" Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Spanish to Siri sometime this year with Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and Russian coming to Siri as soon as next month.
Speaking of next month, profiles published recently by Apple point to a March 9th launch of iOS 5.1.

Best Lebanese Garlic Sauce (By Kay)
Recipe by twissis
Last fall when leaving the U.S. to return home, we stopped-over in Minneapolis for a family mini-reunion w/my Aunt, Uncle, their 7 children + various grandchildren I had not seen in 18+ yrs or even met b4. They are so lucky to all still live in the same city, but talk about the real *Luck of the Irish* - Mike (my cousin) brought his Lebanese heritage wife *Kay* into our Irish family & substantially raised the level of the cooking bar (already set pretty high). Kay is a great cook & made the the most wonderful Lebanese meal for us that included hummus, stuffed grape leaves, marinated + grilled lamb/chicken skewers & the most incredible garlic sauce I have ever tasted (just to mention a few). Thank goodness the garlic sauce was not a recipe shrouded in generations of secrecy because I had to have it to share w/you. *Enjoy* ! (See Notes Below)
Top Review by PalatablePastime
I made this with regular vegetable oil along with the egg white, slowly adding the oil through the top of a food processor until it was emulsified and smooth. The result was something with a texture like yogurt. We had it served on kofta with pita and also a little over some veggies. Fabulous! Thanks for sharing. ~Sue
See Discussion:10 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups corn oil (Per Kay, Mazola is a must for this as it rarely works well with other brands, but see my note below)
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 head garlic (lrg size)
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions See How It's Made
- Place ingredients in a blender, blend till smooth & chill for several hrs b4 use to allow the full flavor to develop. Done!
- *Note From Kay* ~ Some do not add egg whites & they pour the oil in slowly so it thickens. I have no patience for that. When I have tried it that way, I could never get my garlic sauce thick. Adding the egg whites is technically cheating, but it works every time. (Kay also said more garlic can be used to suit taste pref.).
- *Note From Me* ~ Altho unable to find Mazola corn oil here, I can happily report that I have now made a half recipe of this sauce using my immersion blender in a wide-mouth glass jar w/a lid so it could be capped, chilled & stored. I used the *Euro Shopper* brand corn oil, Kay's recipe (including the egg whites) + the thin stream addition of the oil method w/excellent results ~ a richly garlic-flavored & thick sauce. I did add some seasoning salt to better match the Icelandic garlic sauce that is sold commercially & very popular to serve w/lamb (& other meats).
- *Note Re Serving Suggestions* ~ Serve chilled or at rm temp: 1) With grilled, marinated or roasted meats (including chicken, kebabs, etc.), 2) With oven-roasted or baked potatoes or 3) As a dip for garlic-lovers, but I would prob opt to add texture for this option w/some bell pepper, red onion or others you might choose. :-).
