I agree with the other post. This is not a question that can be adequately addressed in a public written forum.
You should contact Ca divorce attorney ASAP to determine your rights regarding, amongst other things, your personal property and your tenancy.See question
I'm in CA and my mortgage is held by Chase. My aim is to lower the interest rate, 6.5%, and avoid the balloon payment, thought it's many, many years down the road of $255,000. I would also like to push it to a 40 year mortgage to lower payments. C...
This is clearly a question for your lender. Lenders all have different policies and practices regarding their mortgage plans, etc...See question

It is not completely clear from the facts supplied exactly what occurred here.
Was there a Trustee Sale on the property? If so, what date?
If a foreclosure sale of your real property already occurred due to your delinquent payments, then B of A will start an eviction to remove you from the property.
YOu should discuss this matter further with legal counsel to clarify your positions/facts, potential liability, and potential future course(s) of action.See question
My house foreclosed four years ago. I had a first and second mortgage with the same lender. The house went back to the bank and was sold. All this time has gone by and today I got a debt collection letter for the second mortgage. Can they do this?...
Proceed with caution - first, you are correct that there is Ca case law that provides that when a first trust deed lender forecloses on a home and there is a second sold out junior mortgage held by the same lending institution, the sold out junior cannot sue the defaulting borrower personally for the deficient amount under the promissory note.
Also, the fact that the foreclosure occurred roughly four years ago means that you may have a statute of limitations defense - need to know the exact dates.
Regardless, you should in no way pay, affirm or accept liability for the amount allegedly owed before you discuss this matter with an attorney that can review your case file.See question
I was just trying to figure out what the debt was for and if it was mine, before I knew it I had agreed to pay it in 2 weeks and made a 'good faith' payment today ($10), so I gave them my bank account # and routing number. (Yes, very stupid!) I wa...
In short, yes, you may have "re-aged" or reaffirmed your debt.
See http://www.hanleylaw.com/bankruptcy-credit-card-debt.html - to review your potential liability.
Regardless, you should contact debt relief counsel to assist you in this matter.See question
My wifes however does show reaffirmation. I wish we hadn't reaffirmed and was wondering what would happen if I bought another house and we walked away from this one.
Entering into a reaffirmation agreement is typically not advisable - the main goal of a debtor post chapter 7 bankruptcydebt to discharge personal liability for debts. A reaffirmation agreement essentially binds you to a new agreement with the creditor, whereby you are then personally liable for any default.
Given that you did enter into the reaffirmation agreement, the lender will start foreclosure proceedings against you should you default on your payments. Your personal liability in a foreclosure scenario depends on a multitude of factors.
See my foreclosure guide for assistance.
You should consult legal counsel.See question
2nd is foreclosing. Understand 90day default/21day notice of trustee sale and that may be sold and new owner can evict and even get unlawful detainer etc. Wondering -IF- offered cash for keys when does the offer usually take place ie. during the 9...
As mentioned by the other attorneys, the "cash for keys" program is usually offered at the termination of the foreclosure (title passes to new owner).
The new owner (typically, the bank) will offer cash in consideration for the owner/tenant giving up possession of the premises (keys). As mentioned, this is to save the costs and time for an unlawful detainer (eviction) proceeding.
To ensure you qualify for the cash for keys program, you don't want to move out too soon, thereby taking away the incenticve of the lender to give you cash.
You might want to discuss this with local counsel to ensure you time this correctly as it is unclear where you are currently residing from the facts you supplied.See question
I was informed on this site that I must file a law suit in order to file a Lis Pendens. I know how silly this is since I am working against Corporate America. I have been told I have a good case but the attorneys want $1500 to $2000 to work on t...
I cannot advise you about your local court/access to online self-help information, but in California, there is a lot of online self-help information to guide prospective "in pro per" individuals through varous types of legal processes. You should look at your local court's website to see if there is any self-help info. Also, the courthouse itself is a good location to get helpful information.
If the case is too difficult to process/understand, you may want to look for local attorneys that are willing to work "pro bono" on this case.
Also, you could see if any Attorney is willing to work on a contingent fee basis (fee based on the outcome - depends on the type of case, etc...).
Hope this helps.See question
landlord. I believe the bank is now foreclosing on the property. How do i found out if the house is now in foreclosure? Do I continue paying the landlord rent? I know for a fact he has not paid the bank for at least 6 months or more. I also paid h...
To answer the first part of your question, you can always check with the County Recorder's Office to determine whether the house is indeed in foreclosure.
Please note, even if the owner has not paid for the mortgage for 6 months or more does not mean that the foreclosure process has started (lender serves Notice of Default on borrwer).See question
My condo was up for an auction, and yesterday I had received a letter that stated the new property owner and he demanded 3days to either rent or vacate from our condo. Are there any loopholes that exist that you can help me with. or anything to bu...
As noted by the other attorney, tenants of foreclosed properties on month-to-month leaseholds should be given 90 day notice to terminate a tenancy post-foreclosure.
Aside from the fact that the 3-day notice the new owner is attempting to use is insufficient and improper legal notice to start the eviction (unlawful detainer) procedure, please note that your tenancy does not automatically cease at the termination of the 90 day period (i.e. a sheriff will not be knocking on your door and demand that you leave at the end of 90 days).
At the end of the 90 day period, the new owner/landlord must then proceed with an unlawful detainer lawsuit to regain control of the premises. This takes time and is costly for the new owner.
Should you locate new premises before the termination of the 90-day notice period, etc, you may be able to work out a "cash for keys" deal with the new owner, whereby you deliver the keys (i.e. possession) to the new owner in exchange for the owner compensating you with some cash.
You should consult an Attorney about your factual situation.See question

Holloway lands another nice straight. They exchange and Bermudez tries to back Holloway down but his movement is really excellent to start the fight. Bermudez is fainting like crazy, maybe trying to gauge his reactions. More strikes are thrown but nothing really lands. Holloway is keeping Bermudez away with the length of his jab. A quick explosion from Bermudez, he again drops to a single-leg but again Holloway defends well. A nice leg kick lands from Bermudez and then as Bermudez tries to go for another takedown Holloway lands a beautiful sinning-back-kick to the head that rocked Bermudez. Holloway rushes him and they clinch. Bermudez gains his wits and then Holloway throws the spinning kick two more times, and then again to the leg of Bermudez that drops him as the round ends. I give the round to Holloway for more strikes landed and more damage, 10-9.
Round 2- Bermudez again tries for a takedown and Holloway spins and takes his back. They come back up and Holloway lands a nice left head kick. Every time Bermudez tries to come in, even for kicks, Holloway lands straight counters. An uppercut lands for Bermudez as he leaps in but Holloway keeps the distance with his long reach advantage.

Bermudez then lands a nice overhand and then the two clinch. They break and Bermudez seems to have some blood coming from his nose. Bermudez lands a hard leg-kick but still can't get close enough to land any power shots to the head. Holloway lands another one/two and goes fr a high kick that misses. Bermudez again goes for a takedown and finally muscles it to the ground. The round ends with a few strikes from the top from Bermudez. I give that round to Holloway 10-9 by more strikes landed and more control of the fight's pace.
Round 3- The two hug to start the round. They exchange and Holloway get a kick caught and Bermudez scores another takedown. Holloway gets back up and gets the fight back to a distance scrap. Holloway lands more counter jabs and Bermudez is visibly frustrated. A good comb lands for Bermudez and Holloway circles out. Bermudez is throwing more strikes in this round but he needs a finish to win the fight. He gets another single-leg takedown but Holloway wastes no time on the ground. More jabs and one/twos from Holloway and Bermudez starts throwing big leg-kick and then scores another takedown. From Holloways full guard Bermudez lands some huge elbows that put Holloway in trouble for a moment. Holloway is starting to get a hematoma and is now bleed from his nose. Bermudez gets to half guard and lads a few more strikes but is unable to to any more major damage before the horn sounds. I give the round to Bermudez 10-9 for control,, takedowns, and damage. However, I don't think it was enough to get him the 'W'.
Dennis Bermudez gets a very questionable split-decision victory over Max Holloway
Round 1 – Story presses Pyle back, eats a body to the knee and then throws Pyle to the ground. In Pyle's guard Story lands some body shots. Pyle tries to isolate an arm and looks for offense from his back but then eats a big shot from Story in the process. Story postures up and Pyle gets an arm and almost hits a beautiful arm-bar. Story spins out though and gets back into Pyle's guard. Pyle comes back up but eats an uppercut from Story. The two are back up and Story lands a couple huge combinations. The two do a dance for a little but Story lands a huge body shot and then an overhand left that drops Pyle to the ground. Story swarms him and lands a few more shots but Pyle recovers and pulls Story into his guard. The horn sounds with Story on top. I give that round to Rick Story 10-8 for more damage and a near finish.
Round 2 – Pile starts the round by throwing a push kick that doesn't land. Story again lands some big body hooks and then and overhand. Pyle eats it and circles out. Story wades in and eats a big knee that wobbles Story. They clinch and Story takes Pyle down. Pyle works hard for a kimura and almost gets it but Story muscles through it. From Pyle full guard Story controls him and maintains his position. Pyle looks to isolate another another limb but Story is too heavy and controls Pyle. He postures up but gets nothing from it as he goes back into Pyle's guard. Nothing from the top for a good minute and a half from Story Steve Mazzagatti refuses to stand it up. Story again ends the round on top. I give the round to Story again, this time 10-9 for control.
Round 3 – Story lands the body/overhand left combo again to start the round. Pyle retakes the middle of the octagon. Pyle tries for the knee again but Story catches it and throws him down but lets him stand back up. Pyle lands a few kicks and it almost seems that Story is getting tired. They clinch and Story eats an elbow in the way out. Again they clinch against the cage and Pyle lands a huge elbow over the top that cuts Story. Story then shoots for a takedown, pushes him against the cage, eats some elbows but then takes him down again. Pyle comes back up but Story clinches his back against the cage and Story lands some knees to the thighs of Pyle. They break after a brief exchange and Pyle is starting to pot-shot Story. He starts landing nice shots but Story hits a powerful blast double and lands it. Pyle goes for an arm-bar and uses it to sweep Story. He takes Story's back but is unable to land anything big or sink in a submission before the round concludes. I give that round to Mike Pyle 10-9 for more damage done due to more action pressed. This is going to be a close decision! Great fight to end the premlims
Mike Pyle wins by split-decision over Rick Story

The Riley Parks of 'The Client List' is spotted wearing a pair of trousers and a jacket when heading out to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
Jennifer Love Hewitt apparently wasn't afraid of showing up in public without makeup. The actress, who starred as Alison Marks in "Jewtopia", was caught on camera looking bare-faced as she got her morning coffee at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Tuesday, February 28.
Hewitt was pictured donning a white t-shirt, a green jacket and a pair of blue trousers. Wearing her hair down, the "The Client List" star finished off her casual look with an oversized green scarf and a pair of sport shoes.
During the day, 33-year-old Hewitt took to Twitter to tell her followers about the early activity. "Got up at 4:30 a.m.! Coffee Bean was open! Almost done with hair and make up! Happy Tuesday!;)," so the former "Ghost Whisperer" actress wrote.
A few days earlier, Hewitt was spotted showing off her sexy figure in a red mini dress and a pair of nude-colored pumps on the set of "The Client List". When arriving on the set, she opted to wear an all-blue ensemble which consisted of a long-sleeved top and a pair of wide-leg denims.

With this unique kit and detailed teachers guide, you can build your own experimental reversible fuel cell car to learn more about this energy source. With more than 30 experiments and demonstrations, users will learn how a reversible fuel cell works to perform electrolysis as well as to create energy. The electricity required to activate electrolysis is created with a large solar cell included with the kit. During electrolysis, water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen and the resulting energy is stored as a gas. When needed, the gas is fed into the fuel cell, which then serves as the power source.Experiment Kit includes:
- How to build a solar-powered car
- Characteristics of a solar module
- Electrolysis and its effect on water
- How to construct and load a reversible fuel cell
- Decomposition of water in the fuel cell
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of gas in a fuel cell
- How efficient is electrolysis?
- Fuel cell-powered car
- and many more!

McLean, Virginia -
A US teenager is fighting efforts by police who want to take photographs of him in a sexually aroused state to try to prove a sexting case against him.
Prosecutors in Virginia told a judge they need photographs of the 17-year-old's erect penis to compare against photographs he is accused of sending to his 15-year-old girlfriend at the time. The teen has been charged in juvenile court with possessing and manufacturing child pornography related to images of himself he's accused of creating.
The teen's lawyers are fighting a search warrant allowing the photographs in court. A hearing is scheduled for next week.
Defence lawyer Jessica Foster said she is unaware of any cases where police have pursued similar photographs, particularly of a minor.
"This is crazy," she said. "Nobody's even heard of something like this... The charges are excessive, and the means by which they are seeking evidence are outrageous."
The teen's appointed advocate, Carlos Flores Laboy, said his understanding is that police plan to do some sort of computer analysis of the photographs to try to prove a similarity to the explicit photograph found on the girl's phone. He said the search warrant vividly demonstrates the importance of defending individuals' constitutional rights against invasions of privacy.
"Doing this to an adult would be traumatic. We're talking about a 17-year-old child," he said.
The lawyers said police have told them they plan to obtain the photographs by taking the teen to a hospital and injecting him with a chemical that would cause an erection.
The teen's aunt and legal guardian has sent the teen out of state for now so the warrant can't be executed.
"He's overwhelmed. He's scared. He doesn't want to be in Virginia" because police could theoretically show up at any time to try to take the photographs, she said.
The Associated Press isn't naming the teen or his aunt in accordance with a policy of not identifying juvenile suspects.
Police have been pursuing the case since January, the aunt said, when the girlfriend's mother discovered the explicit content.
Police and prosecutors did not return calls on Wednesday afternoon seeking comment.
The Manassas City Police later posted a statement on its website saying that it is not their policy "to authorise invasive search procedures of suspects in cases of this nature and no such procedures have been conducted in this case".
The statement added that police were contacted by the mother of the 15-year-old girl "who was sent pornographic videos" by the 17-year-old "after repeatedly being told to stop". - Sapa-AP

Levi Johnston's former girlfriend Lanesia Garcia may be pregnant with…wait for it…Levi's baby! Ooooweeee! I bet you thought that now Levi and Bristol are engaged that Levi's Johnston was under control, well you thought wrong! Somebody tie that willy up. Read more about Lev Johnston's paternity scandal and see photos here.
A Levi Johnston paternity scandal? Yep! Meet Lanesia Garcia, Levi Johnston's girlfriend (former) who is allegedly knocked up with Levi's child! Talk about added drama to Levi's already crazy life. Just a couple weeks ago it was revealed that Levi and Bristol Palin reunited and plan on getting married, making for one not-so-happy future mother-in-law. But will another woman and her baby come in between the love that Levi and Bristol supposedly share? Not much biographical information is known about Lanesia at this time but what we do know is that before Bristol, Garcia dated Levi and his Johnston for three years!
The National Enquirer (notice the source) is reporting that Levi may have gotten freak nasty with his former girlfriend Lanesia. It all supposedly went down when Bristol and Levi were separated. However, the paternity has not yet been confirmed.
A source is saying that Bristol has heard the news and she is furious! The source says, "She just found out about Lanesia's pregnancy and is freaking out. He told her that getting back with Lanesia wasn't serious – it was brief, just a fling and ended months ago. But Bristol is questioning the engagement. She's really jealous. Lanesia's planning to do a paternity test after the baby is born. She's extremely embarrassed she doesn't know who the father is."
Oh snap! I'm thinking that Sexy Sarah is probably really in a tizzy now. And by the way, don't they sell condoms in Alaska?
What do you think of this? Lanesia Garcia must have taken a looksy at Levi's Johnston in Playgirl and thought she needed a piece of what she once had. Next time, wrap up your Johnston Levi!

text: Hi, I'm trying to create a web app where you can sign in and edit profiles but I don't even know where to start on this. How is the best way to go about doing this? The point of the app is to link to player profiles so that at college showcases the coaches can look up the players, so I was hoping to make it so that you could search on the first page and then on the details page it would come up with the profile. As of right now I have it set that it searches on the website when you search a player's name. This works but it isn't really what I wanted to do. What is the best way to take the profile from the website and put it into a profile that I designed on the web app? Does that even make sense? Thanks!

Alternative protein sources for laying hens
The need to expand the protein options available to the poultry industry was the catalyst for this study. The increasing worldwide demand for chicken, particularly in developing countries, will mean that the poultry industry will need to come up with agriculturally and economically sustainable feedstuffs that will provide chickens with protein.

You can have short replies in all caps now, such as TOUCHDOWN!!!!! in a Colts game thread. Please don't abuse it, as yelling all the time (or even a lot) is quite annoying. Given the users on PD, I don't expect this to be a problem. Before now, unless you had lower-case letters/words in the post to go with it, if you tried to say only TOUCHDOWN, the forum would post it as Touchdown.
You can now edit thread titles. I found the option page in the adminCP that sets this, and it turns out the reason why only admins could edit thread titles was due to the fact that the setting was set to 0 minutes for regular users. I have it now set to 86400 minutes (which is 60 days). So you can now edit your posts' title without our help.
You can now also add a poll to a thread you already made within 60 days.
Why 60 days? I wanted to make sure that for general use it's as good as unlimited, but I didn't feel like making it any bigger.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 70-year-old Middleburg woman has been arrested after Jacksonville police said she solicited an undercover detective to kill her daughter-in-law for $5,000.
Diana Costarakis is charged with criminal solicitation and criminal conspiracy, both capital felony crimes.
On Wednesday, an undercover detective met with Costarakis at the Home Depot store on Crosshill Boulevard on the Westside, police said. They said Costarakis solicited the undercover detective to kill her daughter-in-law, Angela Costarakis, (pictured, below), and she gave the detective $500 as the first payment, as well as a photograph of her daughter-in-law, her address and vehicle description.
On Thursday, the undercover detective met with Diana Costarakis again and she paid an additional $1,000 toward the $5,000 that was negotiated, police said. They said Costarakis told the detective that her daughter-in-law wore expensive jewelry, and when the job was done, he could take the jewelry off the victim's body.
Costarakis said the diamonds could be removed and sold without a trace, and that money could be used toward the final payment, according to police.
When asked if Costarakis wanted her daughter-in-law dead, she said, "If you don't, I will," according to police.
According to the police report, Costarakis told police her daughter-in-law was a drunk and a bad mother to her 6-year-old granddaughter.
Costarakis was arrested and transported to be questioned. Police said she immediately asked for an attorney after being Mirandized.
Angela Costarakis said she has no idea why her mother-in-law would be so angry with her.
"I am not livid. I am beyond sad and it breaks my heart because it messes up the family," Angela Costarakis said Friday. "I have compassion. I don't want to see anyone spend the rest of their life in jail. However, I am still just dealing with it. I just found out. I have not wrapped my head around it."
The report said Diana Costarakis claimed Angela was getting a divorce from her son and moving to Denver with her granddaughter. Angela said that's not true.
Diana Costarakis was being held in the Duval County jail without bail.

CATiledLayer Example
One of the examples I put off until I had to do it was CATiledLayer. Basically the docs were not very complete so I was hoping that by the time I really needed them I'd have better docs. Well the docs never materialized but I had 2 or 3 errata about the lack of an example so I figured I'd get off my back side and get something done. I did an example that will make it into the book. It is on drawing png's with multiple versions of the image that are drawn depending on the scale factor, its cool you will like it :).
In the mean time there were still a few things that seemed like I did not grok. So, I went to the CA lab time while out here at WWDC (besides networking that is the other 'coolest thing' about being here). After spending some quality time with the folks in the lab I think I finally have the tiled layer nailed.
I've uploaded the example here.
The example shows a delegate doing all the drawing (which is drop dead simple) and the view setting up the layers. The thing I had wrong in my head was related to levelsOfDetail and levelsOfDetailBias. Levels of detail determines the # of levels of detail (seems obvious doesn't it...) and the bias determines how many are 'reserved' for zooming in. So if you set the levels of detail (LOD) to 4 and the bias to 1, you'd get 2x zooming in (2^1) 'native zoom' (2^0), 2x zoomed out (2^-1) and 4x zoomed out (2^-2). If you set the LOD to 8 and the bias to 5 you'd get 32x zoomed in (2^5) to 4x zoomed out (2^-2). Hope that makes sense, if not feel free to ping me.
Happy animating...
TiledDelegate.m is missing an #import "TiledDelegate.h"
Thanks for the levelsOfDetailBias explanation. I hadn't figured that out from Apple's docs.

Hi Tim,
I've uploaded a new version with the stuff fixed.

can you explain the purpose of loading a pdf with a tiled layer? i figure the use of a tiled layer to to load tiles like how google maps works? but you are working off one pdf so why would you do this instead of just loading the pdf and scaling it?.
Posted by aaron alexander on June 15, 2008 at 01:54 AM MDT #
Hi Aaron,
Couple of reasons;
- While a use case like google maps is certainly important for the CATiledLayer the big deal is that you can use the tiled layer to show content that won't fit into a texture. This PDF scaled up to 32x still looks great and fits that bill nicely. I don't have much jpg or png content that i could say the same about.
- The example does more or less what another example that I saw @ wwdc did (but can't talk about because of the nda). Since the presenter could not share the code with me I rebuilt the example from scratch to make sure I understood what was going on with the tiled layer.
- The example is intended to show how to interact with the tiled layer more than how to draw tiled content.
You are not however the first person to ask. If I have time I'll put a really big jpg into the example, tiled it and show how to mess with the CTM and bounding box of the context to figure out which tiles to draw.
Thanks for the comment!
Posted by Bill Dudney on June 15, 2008 at 02:20 AM MDT #
Pre-ordered your book so anxiously awaiting it. I could sure use some additional help with the levelsOfDetail and bias. Using your example above of 8 and 5 above, let me add some more constraints.
I have some bit map image of size 1024x1024 with a tile size of 32x32. If the bounds of the enclosing view are at 100%, then when my delegate gets called, I call CGContextGetClipBoundingBox() and by dividing the origin by 32 I can get the column and row of my tile. In this example I would have 32x32=1024 tiles
So, lets say I want to zoom in by 2x. Is my tile size now 64x64? Likewise if I zoom out its 16x16? If this is true, well, then the number of tiles will stay the same zooming in or zooming out as long as the factor is within the levels of details settings.
So, what happens when I hit a boundary? That is, with 8/5, I can zoom up to 32x. If I set my view's boundary to force a 64x size increase, what happens? Does the tile size get pegged? This would imply that my delegate will get asked to draw 2n tiles (32x32x2=2048). Or do I get an exception/crash?
Thanks for any clarification.

I was wondering if you could briefly touch base on if it is possible to get the same functionality out of the iPhone as you've done here? I know the code and functions exist for the iPhone that you use here but, I'm running into performance issues and was wondering if its simply lacking on the iPhone or my programming skills... I'm hoping for the latter. I'm basically doing exactly what you've done here but it takes a month and a day to load the tiles with a relatively small pdf (<600kb). Any direction would be a great help!!! Thanks.
Any chance you can convert this example to use an PNG graphic? I have been trying to, but I have not managed to get it to work properly.
Posted by michael on December 26, 2008 at 04:24 PM MST #
Hi Michael,
The code for the CA book (http://www.pragprog.com/titles/bdcora) has an example with a really big png file.

Very interesting post.
But I still have questions.
I am now developing PDFViewer on iOS.
Till now, most of the obstacles were solved.
The only one I did not solve yet is about the levelsOfDetails.
In iBooks app on iOS, if I turn the page by swiping, the new page is displayed at once.
No tiling happens.
If I zoom-in or zoom-out that page, then tiling starts.
Is it a secret of levelsOfDetail and levelsOfDetailBais ?
To what value should I set on levelsOfDetail and levelsOfDetailBais
if I want to display PDF pages without tiling ?
I tried this way.
First set levelsOfDetail = 1 and levelsOfDetailBais = 0.
In that case, no tiling happens.
But zooming causes problems by levelsOfDetail = 1 and levelsOfDetailBais = 0.
So if I change those values after initial rendering,
the page is re-rendered.
How can I achieve iBooks features ?
Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite aspects of being an author is the exhilarating and stomach-clenching cover reveal! What's more fun--finding out a friend knows the model who posed for your cover! I've had the great pleasure of meeting, either in person or online, four of the models who've posed for my books. Today, I have the immense pleasure of introducing y'all to Lindsay, the model who posed as Aspen Courtland for my upcoming release, Talon: Combat Tracking Team (May 2013).
First, could you tell us a little about yourself (age, career, degree. . .favorite food)?
A little about myself… I am 26 years old and have lived in Tulsa, OK my entire life. I graduated from Oral Roberts University with a Communications degree and currently work at a Business Consulting firm where I do consulting and marketing work primarily. My husband and I got married shortly after I graduated in 2009 and we have one dog, Rory, who has been our baby… up until now! We are expecting a little girl at the beginning of June! With that – my favorite foods are a little crazy. J Anything with marinara sauce is a favorite right now (pizza, spaghetti…). I also love almost every fruit and have a bit of a Dr Pepper addiction which I have had to curb during the pregnancy!
How did you come to model as Aspen Courtland for the cover of Talon: Combat Tracking Team ?
I work for the Linda Layman Agency in Tulsa and have been doing work for them – primarily runway modeling – for about 8 years. I got a call about the book cover and jumped on the opportunity. It sounded like such a fun thing to be a part of!
How did you get involved in this modeling, and how long have you been modeling?
I really started modeling in high school and college – around 8 years ago. I had a few friends who did modeling and had a lot of fun with it, and being a tall, somewhat lanky girl, it was a good fit for me! I have mostly worked in runway and promotional spots, although have done a few different magazine spreads as well.
The design house supplied us with this picture of the yellow Labrador that posed as Talon. Can you tell us about it?
Haha that dog was hilarious! He was so sweet and such a good sport – although there were definite times when he wasn't ready to "work." Whenever we would try to get a good face-to-face shot, I'd try to hold him tight, which he wasn't too fond of. He was loving just getting to roll around in the dirt and be a typical dog. I have a pretty small dog, so I wasn't used to not being able to control the squirming!
What was your favorite part of the photo shoot (besides the gorgeous yellow Lab—because we already know he's awesome)?
He is definitely pretty awesome. Honestly, it was fun just being outside with him and enjoying the environment. We did the shoot not too far from where I work, and there are quite a few offices and restaurants in the area. It was around lunch time, so there were a good amount of people out walking – I'm sure they were curious as to what we were doing! It's always fun to do something a little different, and I challenged myself to really try to get into character.
If you could give one piece of advice to anyone looking into modeling, what would it be?
Know who you are and be confident in that. The modeling world can be a ton of fun, but it can also be a crazy place where a lot of pressure is put on looking a certain way and being a certain size. As long as you remain true to who you are and your values, it can be a great place to experience new things and meet really interesting people. And never take yourself too seriously! Have fun with it!
Author Kathleen Y'Barbo Turner realized the model on Talon's cover (You!) attended her church, then got you and I connected. In light of that fact, would you share what your faith means to you?
control – but He is always reminding me that His ways are truly better than my own.

BRADENTON, Fla. — Manager Clint Hurdle spoke this morning during a team meeting before the first official full-squad workout. Hurdle delivered a simple message.
"We need to focus forward," Hurdle said. "We have work to do. We need everybody all in. We talked about trust; that's something I'm a big believer in. There will be a group of men that turns it around here, so why can 't we be the start?"
President Frank Coonelly did not address the players at the meeting. Owner Bob Nutting will visit camp until next week.
»»» Fourteen pitchers threw live batting practice. On Field 1, Joel Hanrahan and Paul Maholm pitched to Lyle Overbay and Pedro Alvarez. On Field 2, Even Meek and Kevin Correia pitched to Garrett Jones and Neil Walker. Also throwing were Ross Ohlendorf, Jose Veras, James McDonald, Joe Beimel, Aaron Thompson, Kyle McPherson, Justin Wilson, Jeff Locke, Mike Crotta and Rudy Owens.
»»» During fielding practice on Field 2, Overbay and Garrett Atkins were at first base, Walker at second, Ronny Cedeno and Pedro Ciriaco at short and Alvarez at third.
»»» Situational hitting drills continue to be emphasized. Hurdle is pleased with the focus he's seen from the players, even when the visible results aren't great.
"It's a new process for them," Hurdle said. "If you want to go somewhere you've never been, there's got to be somebody who asks you do to things you've never done. I'm asking them to do some things they might've never done. It's not so much about results daily as the preparation that's put in and the focus in the drill. Some of the guys haven't (done) well in the drills and they take it personally. But they understand the reason behind it."
»»» The Columbus (Ga.) High School baseball team shagged flies in the outfields today and will do so again Sunday. Pirates scout Jimmy Lester has a son on the team, which last year won the state title. The team is in town for a clinic and is staying in the dorms at Pirate City.
The Manatee County adult baseball league will shag Tuesday. Manatee High School's baseball team will shag Wednesday.
»»» Thursday will be a short workout (the players have a golf event in the afternoon) and the final session at Pirate City. Friday, the team moves to McKechnie Field and will play a seven-inning game at noon against the State College of Florida.
"We'll have a mix of players in (the lineup), but it probably will be leaning toward some of the younger guys," Hurdle said.

NLRB backs claim against NHLPA
Published July 17, 2006
The National Labor Relations Board says that there's enough evidence to charge the NHL Players' Association with violating federal labor laws but that it won't take that step unless settlement talks fail between the union and a group of dissident players.
|NHLPA Executive Director Ted Saskin calls
debate "a complete non-issue."
By authorizing a complaint against the union, the NLRB served notice that if the union doesn't settle the dispute, the NLRB is ready to issue a formal complaint that would compel the union to defend itself in court.
"The general counsel (of the NLRB) has decided to authorize the issuance of a complaint alleging the NHLPA violated the National Labor Relations Act by not providing certain side letters to players, side letters that are incorporated in the collective-bargaining agreement," said Don Zavelo, deputy regional attorney in the New York NLRB office. "No complaint has been issued. It is our policy to always engage the parties in settlement negotiations before we issue a complaint that has been authorized."
Detroit Red Wings player Chris Chelios, one of the leaders of a group of players that brought the complaint to the NLRB, said that he felt vindicated by the board's decision. "I think it shows there is obviously something there," Chelios said. "It's not just a player thing. The NLRB investigated and found evidence that (NHLPA Executive Director Ted Saskin) may or may not have done something wrong."
Saskin posted some of the side letters on the union Web site last year, after an agent and some players raised concern about the letters, including one that pledged union money to the NHL if the player salary escrow was not sufficient to bring the amount of money paid to players to 54 percent, as is required by the CBA.
Saskin could not be reached for comment. In a statement, he said, "I've reviewed all of these letters with the players. Not one player can think of any reason why they should be public. I am very confident this is a complete non-issue for our members.''

Sally Hansen Strengthening Formula Polish Remover For Weak, Thin Nails Reviews
Removes polish effectivelyI have tried a few different formulas of Sally Hansen's polish removers, and I have not noticed/felt any major significant difference on my nails.

It still removes nail polish off of my nails pretty good without drying out my nails, and this...read more one is better than store brands' that I tried in the past. I don't think that this particular remover has strengthened my nails. I prefer convenience and mess-free polish remover pads, but Sally Hansen's line is much more affordable for daily use. — 6 years, 8 months agoluckybetty | 895 reviews
Awesome Stuff!Well this is the best nail polish remover I have ever used. First of all I don't really have weak nails, I actually have strong, thick nails, but I got it anyway. I apply about two layers of nail polish and a top coat, I don't use a base coat all the time, but whatever. So thats a lot of layers of nail polish to take off.

Good Polish RemoverI use this mainly on my toes but only b/c I don't paint my nails very often. I don't know if it really strengthens them but it doesn't make my nails anymore brittle than they already are. That's why I picked this formula to use and I like it enough to keep using it(on my fingers and toes!) :) — 9 years, 1 month agoRobynLe | 98 reviews

DermaRollers for Stretch Marks
DermaRollers for Stretch Marks – Exactly how much time does it take until I see noticeable results from a Scientia Roller?
The speed at which you may spot visible results from your Skin Roller can depend on precisely what type of scarring or scars you are treating and how substantially the skin has to remodel the area in question.
Collagen induction therapy is effective for a wide range of skin conditions, including:
- Scars, from surgical procedures, chicken pox, acne, burn scars and more.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Cellulite
- Stretch mark scarring
- Hair loss
- Acne scars – including icepick scars and box car scars
- and more.
When you roll the Scientia Derma Roller over the affected area, it makes tiny punctures into your epidermis – the bulk of which are just pressing your pores open briefly. This stimulation is perceived by your body as damage, which triggers the release of various growth factors that set off the production of elastin and collagen. Your dermis acts in response to any damage by setting in motion the healing process, however, generally it will just rebuild as far as it needs to to keep you healthy – which is not the same as improving to an aesthetic level. By regularly bringing about the restoration processes, you can encourage your body to carry on healing up until the job is finished.
Your body typically thinks that wrinkles, stretch mark scarring, wrinkles and other types of scarring are tolerable, but with the gentle daily reminder caused by the Dermaroller the dermis is simply tricked into carrying on the restoration process until the skin has also healed itself to a cosmetic level. The process of dermal remodelling could continue for months after each and every Skin Roller session, but apparent changes can be seen within just a week. Your skin typically renews itself approximately every 40 days, so by having a little bit of stimulation, the changes could be dramatic and fast.
DermaRollers for Stretch Marks – Exactly how swiftly will my Scientia Derma Roller trigger results?
Transformations might be dramatic and quick, but it depends on the amount of collagen that must be manufactured in your skin – so for instance, fine lines and mild wrinkles, or light acne scars would restore more quickly than more substantial stretch mark scarring or burn scarring. But bear in mind that smoking consumes the vitamin C required to build collagen, and a substandard diet shall provide you less raw materials to work with. So for the greatest likelihood of success, keep up your derma roller regime, eat a healthy diet, give yourself the nutritional edge by using Scientia Nutrition MultiVitamins together with the use of our vitamin rich treatment cream after every derma roller treatment.
Visit our online order page for even more information and to get your Scientia Dermal Roller now!
If you prefer, why not take a look at our before and after pictures page in order to discover the astonishing improvements that have already been achieved with skin needling. Or read the dozens of dermaroller reviews on our review page.

Cottesloe detectives are investigating the mystery disappearance of a commercial generator worth more than $20,000.
And they have a digital road map and timeline showing its alleged final destination in Perth's northern suburbs.
The one-tonne power plant went missing from a Swanbourne building site on Tuesday. Unknown to thieves, the generator was carrying a GPS-locator.
Owner, Luke Hicks of Alpha Hire, told 6PR on Friday that he had tracked the movement of the generator from the time it was stolen to the time that it disappeared "off the radar".
The computer trail showed that it had been taken to Osborne park where it had stayed for about 30 minutes. It then headed up the Mitchell Freeway and eventually disappeared from view around the area of Hepburn Avenue and Wanneroo Road.
It was on the road for about six hours before its final online position at around 7.30pm.
"I told police about its last known position, but I got palmed off," Mr Hicks told 6PR on Friday. "I want the place searched."
He said there was a large shed and a sea container at the address.
"The power is still connected to the GPS but it won't be getting a signal if it's under cover," he said.
The sea container had since been moved, according to 6PR.
"It had to be an organised theft. It's a big piece of equipment and you'd need a truck and a means to lift the generator," Mr Hicks said.
He was contacted by police after his 6PR interview. Mr Hicks said that detectives would now be canvassing locals near the Swanbourne building site before tracing the generator's movement to its last known location.
He hoped they would seach that property, but all was not lost if it wasn't there.
"Wherever it is, as soon as it comes back into the open, an alert will signal and then we'll know where it is," Mr Hicks said.

Road closures and delays are disrupting traffic in southwest NSW as a strong cold front moves in from the west, bringing damaging winds and floods.
Transport NSW is advising motorists to delay their journeys as heavy rain and strong winds rage over a large area of central NSW, west of the ranges.
Among the closures is the Hume Highway, which is closed southbound to light vehicles at Tarcutta following a rockslide, as well as northbound because of flooding at Holbrook.
The Olympic Highway is also closed between the Hume Highway and Wagga Wagga.
The Sturt Highway between Wagga Wagga and Narrandera is also shut, as is the Snowy Mountains Highway at Adelong in both directions.
There is a major flood warning current for the Upper Murray, upstream at Lake Hume, which could affect all road access to Victoria.
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a wind and flash-flood warning for the Hunter, ACT, Upper Western, Northern Tablelands, Riverina, Illawarra, Central West Slopes and Plains, South West Slopes, Snowy Mountains, North West Slopes and Plains, Lower Western, Southern Tablelands and Central Tablelands.
Winds averaging 50km/h, with peak gusts around 110km/h, are forecast for all those districts, as well as heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding.
Wind gusts over 90km/h have already been recorded at Cabramurra in the Snowy Mountains and at Murrurundi in the upper Hunter valley.
Bureau of Meteorology spokeswoman Julie Evans said the front was moving rapidly across central western areas of NSW on Friday afternoon and was expected to clear the state by Saturday morning.
The front had brought rain to most areas, heaviest in the Riverina and South West Slopes, Ms Evans told AAP.
"It's a good widespread rain event, without being over the top," she said.
Saturday would be very cold for October,with snow in the higher parts of the Southern and Central Tablelands, Ms Evans said.

Management of Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma
Management of Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma
Although chemotherapy regimens
can produce objective
responses in patients with
metastatic melanoma, curative responses
are extremely rare. It is therefore
of significant interest that the
majority of complete responses to immunotherapy
with high-dose interleukin
(IL)-2 (Proleukin) alone are
durable and probably curative.[1]
In our own series of 182 patients
with metastatic melanoma, 12 (7%)
experienced a complete response and
only 2 have had a disease recurrence
with a median follow-up of 11.9 years.
The remaining 10 patients remain in
complete response at 133 to 211
months, and no patient with a complete
response has recurred beyond
12 months. Responses have occurred
at all parenchymal organ sites, and
there is little relationship between the
bulk of disease and the likelihood of
achieving a complete response. Treatment-
related side effects can be readily
managed, and treatment-related mortality
in our series of patients with
metastatic cancer is less than 1%.[2]
Immunotherapy Research
IL-2 has no direct effect on cancer cells, and thus, all of its anticancer activity is dependent on the ability of IL-2 to modulate host immune reactions against the growing cancer. The most important principle of cancer therapy that emerged from these clinical studies was the demonstration that immune manipulations can cause the regression of established, invasive, bulky cancers in humans and that this therapy can eliminate the last cancer cell. These findings have stimulated considerable efforts to understand the immunologic principles underlying these responses, with the hope of gaining insights that could lead to improved response rates and enable the successful application of immunotherapy to the treatment of other cancer types. The identification of T lymphocytes that could recognize melanoma cells led to the identification and characterization of dozens of melanoma antigens as well as antigens expressed on a wide variety of common epithelial cancers.[ 3] Multiple clinical trials have attempted to immunize cancer patients with these antigens using either peptides, proteins, or plasmids or recombinant viruses encoding them. Although active immunization (cancer vaccines) can generate endogenous T cells that recognize cancer antigens, thus far these efforts have been unsuccessful in reproducibly mediating tumor regression. Only rare and sporadic responses have been seen, and the factors enabling the tumor to escape from these immune reactions represents an active area of investigation. Possible mechanisms include the presence of an insufficient number of antitumor cells, weak avidity of tumor recognition, the inability of the tumor to activate the T cells, and the presence of regulatory lymphocytes that suppress the ability of the lymphocytes to function. Cell Transfer Therapy
An alternative approach to immunotherapy that can overcome many of these obstacles is cell transfer therapy. With this approach, large numbers of highly avid, already activated, in vitro-generated T cells with antitumor activity are transferred to the cancer-bearing patient. An element essential to the success of this approach is the depletion of host endogenous lymphocytes using a nonmyeloablative chemotherapy prior to cell trans- fer that can eliminate host regulatory cells and make "space" for the transferred cells. Using this approach, approximately 50% of patients with metastatic melanoma experience an objective cancer regression.[4] For the first time, substantial persistence of the transferred cells has been demonstrated, and in some patients, up to 80% of all circulating CD8 lymphocytes have antitumor activity derived from the infused cells. Cancer regression is highly correlated with persistence of the transferred cells. These experimental approaches are under active development in the Surgery Branch of the National Cancer Institute. The genes encoding T cell receptors from lymphocytes that mediate tumor regression have been cloned, and transduction of these genes into the peripheral lymphocytes of patients can invest these cells with potent antitumor activity.[5] Cell transfer protocols using these transduced cells have begun, as are studies to extend this approach to the treatment of additional tumor types.

MONTEVIDEO (Jun. 22)
Further details on the segregation of Jewish children on separate benches in some of the public schools in Argentina reached here today. They reveal that Jewish pupils, exempt from the study of Catholicism, are given "moral instruction" in the schools in accordance with a decree issued by the Argentine Government introducing compulsory teaching of the Roman Catholic religion in all schools.
The decree was issued, the government said, because any child who has no knowledge of religion is an atheist, who commences by repudiating the name of God and ends by denying His existence and laws, thereby destroying the private and public morals on which Argentine national unity is founded. It therefore orders that "in all public schools or primary, elementary, secondary and special education, the teaching of the Roman Catholic religion shall be taught as a regular subject of study. Pupils whose parents express opposition to this principle by reason of belonging to another religion, are exempt on the ground of 'freedom of conscience.' These pupils shall be given moral instruction."
