Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Dear Customer, thank you for choosing Just Answer, I would like to assist you with your legal question today. Please give me a moment to review your post.
Dear Customer, I believe that it may be easiest for me to describe how promisory notes work in general, and then address any specific questions you have following that as your question has multiple subparts that I believe can be addressed in a broader description. But please do not hesitate to follow up as I want to ensure you get as complete a response as possible.
A promissory note may include a "choice of law" clause which means that the parties decide which state's laws they will use in interpreting the terms of the contract. For example, if you want to use Florida law to interpret the contract, regardless of which state any lawsuit to enforce the contract is brought in, you can state that "this promissory note shall be enforced under the laws of the State of Florida" in a section entitled "Choice of Law".
To decide where you will sue the debtor in the event that they fail to pay, you have a couple of options. You can sue where the contract is entered into. Meaning, if you sign and enter into the contract in Florida, you may sue in Florida, in the County where the contract was entered into. If you entered into the contract in Louisiana, you may sue there. (If the contract is signed in counterparts (mailed or e-mailed between the two, you must designate which county it is deemed to have been entered into, Florida or Louisiana, as part of the contract language). You may also sue where the Debtor is living at the time that you file the lawsuit.
To get a debt such as a breach of contract or failure to pay a promissory note on a debtor's credit history, you must file a civil lawsuit for breach of contract. Once the lawsuit is on the Court Docket, it will become public record and the credit agencies will be able to search the docket and include the claim on the credit report.
After you get a judgment in your favor on the breach of contract for failure to pay on the promissory note, you may take judicial enforcement actions to recover your money (wage garnishment, bank levy, property liens, personal property levies, and receive orders for examination of the debtor).
I hope that this is of assistance, if you have more specific questions regarding your situation please let me know.
Thank you for all the information. I am still in a quandry as to the matter of which State to list in the promssory note since this person is highly likely to move from state to state due to the nature of his business. Even if he stayed in Louisiana, it would be burdensome to file a claim there since I live in Florida, for one. I guess my question is, does it really matter which State I may file a Breach of Contract? It seems not if, in the end, I get a judgment. Also, does filing such a claim require any court appearances by me or the debtor? (he would probably not show up anyway but with this person, one never knows). Thank you. I will defintely give you a good rating but didn't know if I could still ask you questions if I did that first.

Electronics Repair Questions? Ask an Electronics Technician
Hello,Welcome to JustAnswer!I am Pete, and I'll be happy to assist with your question.
If the battery has been replaced in your remote, it will need to be reprogrammed again - see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=456oha5TKxw
If the keyfob remote or car remote only work at close range, check that nothing is interfering with the sensor on the motor unit - perhaps some new equipment has been placed nearby and is interfering with the signal.
The remote doesn't work intermittently anymore.
Tried power cycling the motor unit and that didn't help. Tried reprogramming the remote and that didn't help either. Still only able to open/close my garage through the door opener on the wall.
If reprogramming did not work, then the problem seems to be the with the remote itself.The button(s) may not be sending the signal to the door opener when pressed - Try carefully disassembling the remote and check that the contacts under the buttons are making good contact. Use contact cleaner if necessary.Let me know if that helps.
ok I will try that this weekend.
But if my wireless keypad doesn't work either could the problem be with the motor unit or sensor?
The wireless keypad will also need to be reprogrammed after changing the batteries.
If you need assistance reprogramming it, let me know which model of keypad you have.
ok, I was able to reprogram my wireless keypad remote (yay!) so I tried programming my remote again with no luck. ..turns out I had a bad battery in the remote..changed out the battery and by following the youtube link you sent me I was able to get everything working again..thanks!!
Glad to hear you got it working again!

Ariana Grande said more than once that she wanted a Harry Potter themed birthday party -- and she got at least part of her wish!
Ariana's mom made her the same cake that Hagrid made for Harry in the movie, and Arry couldn't be happier about it. What was her reaction to the sweet treat? "I died."
We're glad she wasn't being literal -- we want her to have many more birthdays to come!
What do you think of Ariana Grande's birthday cake? What kind of birthday cake do you want? Tell us in the comments!

FOR THOSE UNFAMILiar with it, cyberspace can be a chilly realm. As of this week, though, PEOPLE readers who subscribe to the CompuServe Information Service can click on an all-new, yet warmly familiar icon: ours. Under the stewardship of the magazine's new media directors, Jeremy Koch and Maria Wilhelm, PEOPLE has staked out a cozy home on the digital range. PEOPLE Online will bring the same blend of lively photography and compelling celebrity news, human interest and fun as the magazine you hold in your hands. What's more, PEOPLE Online will enable CompuServe users to electronically "chat" with one another—and with PEOPLE staffers—about our stories. "More and more, the wired generation is using computers for entertainment and education, not just business," says Hala Makowska, associate director of new media. "PEOPLE's world is part of that future."
Leading our readers into cyberspace is PEOPLE Online's editor, Eric Levin, who has overseen eight PEOPLE special issues, most recently last fall's At Home with Country Music's Hottest Stars. "There are still things you can do in print better than you can do online—like wrap text around pictures," says Levin, who came to PEOPLE as a writer in 1980. "So we put our emphasis on things you can do online that you can't do, or do easily, in print—like offer video and audio in addition to photos, let readers search back issues or include bonus features there isn't room for on a magazine's tightly budgeted pages." Working with him will be editor Mary H.J. Farrell, writers J.D. Podolsky and Marianne Goldstein, reporter Lorraine Goods and photo editor Teri Barbero.
We think you'll agree we came up with a lot. In addition to the full text of PEOPLE Weekly—posted at 11 p.m. every Friday night—the service includes PEOPLE Daily, offering fresh pop-cultural news, a Quote of the Day and items distilled from the current issue. The PEOPLE Magazine Forum, an electronic back fence where CompuServe's worldwide audience of more than 2.5 million paying subscribers can message us and each other, was launched Dec. 30; there have already been online debates about Brad Pitt's designation as the Sexiest Man Alive and Connie Chung's interview with Newt Gingrich's very candid mother, Kit. Another highlight will be regular live conferences featuring celebrity guests. On Feb. 2, CompuServes can log on to our first such event: Christie Brinkley will be online to answer questions as participants post them. Even though the questions and answers are typed, the dialogue quickly takes on a conversational tone. Future guests will include Christian Slater and Sally Field.
Back at our offices, the PEOPLE staff is also logging on; we'll be hanging out in the Forum. Disagree with a review? Tell us why. Want to praise us, haze us or give us a good story idea? Boot up your computer. We want to hear from you. And we can all type really fast.
For information about subscribing to CompuServe, call 1-800-337-8557.

Come on, now, let's be honest: Going to see the souped-up rerelease of Heavy Metal is a bad move, unless a) you're about five bong hits beyond stoned silly; b) you have an insatiable taste for early '80s cheese metal (hey, dude, Sammy Hagar rocks!); or c) you still worry about whether your drow elf magic-user will ever make 12th level.
In case you never went to college, read J.R.R. Tolkien as a kid or swore off art-house cash-cow "cult classics" after a bad experience with The Rocky Horror Picture Show (never, ever admit you're a virgin), know thee that Heavy Metal is an animated sci-fi/fantasy/soft-porn trip flick that had its first run in 1981.
I was only 10 then, and efforts to talk my parents into taking me to an R-rated cartoon were about as successful as the time I tried to convince them that, in fact, an Iron Maiden concert would be a fine way to celebrate their anniversary (I stayed home with the sitter).
And so I forgot about Heavy Metal until my first year of higher education, where I found it in Heavy Rotation on various campus midnight-movie series, along with Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Song Remains the Same, Koyaanisqatsi and (all, hail) Star Wars.
By the time I finally saw the Ivan Reitman-produced project in the fall of '89, the animation was cut-rate compared to the tsunami of retina-searing work that had recently come crashing across the Pacific from Japan, starting with Akira in 1988. Still--call me a geek, I can take it--Heavy Metal was a positive cinema experience. Maybe it was the blueberry/sinsemilla muffins at the concession stand. Maybe it was the renowned opening sequence--a '60 Corvette turned shuttle craft being birthed from the belly of a mother ship and rocketing planet side. Or maybe it was the game of "Name That RipOff" a friend and I made up as the movie went along (i.e., "Star Wars cantina scene--five points").
It certainly wasn't all the naked, animated fantasy babes--breasts that big that point up send me ducking for cover.
Heavy Metal's pop cachet lies in its campy cheesiness. Try to take it seriously and you'll only frustrate yourself. Sure, it's stupid to have two pink, warty cartoon aliens with trunks snort up a vat of "Tazarian Nyborg" and do a Cheech and Chong skit--"Wow, man, good Nyborg"--but it's also worth a giggle.
So's the soundtrack. You won't find a better array of wonderfully bad pre-Mstley CrYe pop hard rock than the Heavy Metal soundtrack. We're talking Blue yster Cult here. We're talking Nazareth, Sammy Hagar, and Black Sabbath. And we're talking--wait a minute, what the hell is this ... Devo?
Yes, Devo. Performing a cover of Lee Dorsey's 1966 R&B hit "Working in a Coal Mine," no less. The song--originally an outtake from the band's 1981 album New Traditionalists--is featured in the aforementioned Star Wars cantina-scene episode, in which the band of mutants onstage bears a suspicious resemblance to a certain New Wave combo.
Devo main-mouth Mark Mothersbaugh explains the anomaly in a phone interview from "Mutato Muzika," his multimedia studio in Los Angeles: "It turned out that some of the animators were Devo fans and really pushed for us to have a song in the film," he says. "We knew that the music was mainly going to be Sabbath and Hagar, which we thought would sell well, and we saw it as a chance to take a free ride at their expense."
The joke was on Devo, however. "Coal Mine" broke the Top 20 and was credited with pushing sales of the soundtrack past the million mark. "We wound up making all this money for the same bands we thought would be making it for us," says Mothersbaugh. "We set out to make our participation a subversive action and it backfired."

Mothersbaugh says he saw Heavy Metal when it first came out--"It was fine for what it was. It has a good sense of humor, and some of the sequences were on the edge at the time." But he doesn't plan to make a screening of the ongoing revival, which boasts brand-new prints and a digitally remastered soundtrack.
"Heavy Metal is obviously a little out of its league now," he says. "But it served its purpose. It sort of prepared people's eyes and brains for Japanese anime, and made a good introduction for the idea that cartoons are not just for Saturday mornings."
Rereleased prints of Heavy Metal are currently being showcased in 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada. (In the Valley, Heavy Metal is screening at Harkins Centerpoint 11, Mill and University in Tempe; call 966-6655 for showtimes).--David Holthouse

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- The Biotech Stock Mailbag is thinking about roast turkey and all the fixings, but first, let's answer some email. David B. writes, " I have a general question about FDA clinical trials. On Tuesday both Cerus (CERS) and Discovery Labs (DSCO) released news about proposed clinical trials. Cerus received feedback from the FDA that its proposed trial apparently did not have sufficient statistical power, and needs to go back and rework the design with more participants. Discovery submitted a trial design and expects feedback in the first quarter of 2010. Do all companies have to reach an agreement with the FDA on a design before initiating a trial? Or does the FDA just have to agree the trial design is safe, and unlikely to lead to harm? If the company and the FDA agree on a design, is that the same as what I believe is called a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA)? If companies and the FDA don't have to agree on a design, why would a company ever start a trial without buy in from the FDA on the design, that is, an SPA? If the outcome of the trial is favorable, doesn't having an SPA in place make FDA approval more likely?" > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll These are super-excellent questions. Smart drug and biotech companies keep the FDA abreast of their clinical trial program throughout the long drug development process. Typically, a company will have what is known as an "end of phase II" meeting with the FDA, where data from the completed phase II studies are reviewed and design ideas for phase III studies are discussed. The FDA does not "approve" phase III studies. In other words, drug companies are free to conduct whatever phase III study is desired, as long as the FDA deems the drug being tested safe enough for human testing. Call it bull if you ever hear a company executive say that the FDA encouraged or "blessed" a phase III study -- the suggestion being that the phase II data were so strong that the FDA has some interest in moving the drug toward approval.
Cel-Sci ( CVM) CEO Geert Kersten is guilty of this form of bamboozlement with his company's head-and-neck-cancer drug Multikine. The FDA doesn't bless clinical trials, at least not officially. The FDA is an impartial evaluator of clinical data; the agency is not a cheerleader or facilitator for drug sponsors. Given that the FDA is the ultimate arbiter of a drug's risks and benefits, it's wise, naturally, for a company to heed the agency's advice when it comes to designing phase III studies. If the FDA recommends a certain primary endpoint or study design; if the FDA says it would like to see a drug studied in a certain patient population or tested against a specific control, then it would be extremely unwise to discard or ignore this advice.

PEOPLE in the Woodford Valley have said a fond farewell to their parish priest, who has retired after ten years.
The Reverend Canon Ann Philp, who was also chairman of governors at Woodford Primary Academy, said the decade had been some of the happiest years of her life.
She said: "The depth of people's commitment and their personal support of me was outstanding. "They were extraordinarily supportive people who were generous with their time and were always prepared to try new things."
Heading a team that covered the Woodford Valley and Archers Gate, Canon Philp paid tribute to the people she worked with and said highlights of her time in the role included conducting a special service for the Queen's Jubilee, development of the work with children, the training of three curates, and the pastoral care of those in her care.
Canon Philp is now residing at The Close and hopes to become involved with life at the cathedral.

Man who diagnosed the Israeli condition
INTERVIEW: Ari Shavit
He is a man of contradictions, Ari Shavit. A veteran of the peace camp in Israel who sees huge deficiencies in the Oslo Accords and who wholeheartedly endorses Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and peace negotiator Tzipi Livni in their insistence that the Palestinians recognise Israel as a Jewish state. A clear-eyed, dispassionate analyst of Israel's woes who is yet a passionate Zionist and, possibly to his own surprise, a passionate Jew.
Mr Shavit's book, My Promised Land, has won plaudits around the world for its many-layered diagnosis of the Israeli condition. This week he was in the UK and such was the demand to hear the Ha'aretz columnist that one more session was slotted into Jewish Book Week's timetable in addition to his appearance with Jonathan Freedland of the Guardian.
He had, he said, wanted to write this book for more than 20 years. (It has only been published in English but a Hebrew version is in the works.) "This book came to answer a real existential need of mine. I write from within, out. This is a very Jewish book. It is the book of a passionate Jewish, Israeli Zionist, who is trying to decipher his own nation."
Mr Shavit insists that there is no bitterness in his book. "I think that what I tried to do was to love Israel in a new way. People have divided into those who support Israel and refuse to see its mistakes, and those who criticise it — and I'm not talking about the Israel-haters here — in an increasingly cynical way. I say, let's look at it as it is, with all its flaws, with all its sins. And once we do that, it's such a remarkable human story. I see Israel as a triumph of the human spirit facing the terrible tragedy of the conflict."
Labour Zionism, says Mr Shavit, was heroic in an almost incomprehensible way in terms of what it achieved for the young state of Israel. "For us, the Yom Kippur War of 1973 was our First World War. After it, the ancien regime collapsed and what I claim is the flaw followed. The generation that succeeded it — the peace camp, of which I was a part — focused only on the peace agenda, rather than look at the nation as a whole. That is why it failed to succeed."
I tried to love Israel in a new way, to look at it with all its flaw
Mr Shavit adds: "I saw the flaws with the peace movement when Oslo happened [even though] I totally supported the attempt. I thought that the attempt to try to end the conflict without having a recognition by the Palestinians of the legitimate rights of the Jewish people, and the right to have a Jewish state as a legitimate entity, was a deep mistake. I thought then, and I think now, that that was the conceptual flaw of Oslo."
There was a delusion on the Zionist left "that the conflict was all about 1967 and that it would end with the end of the occupation. My claim was that there are two different issues: the issues of settlement and occupation, on which I think the left was right; but the left was totally wrong assuming it's all up to us, and that if we would just withdraw, then there will be peace. Everything that has happened in the last 20 years, in which Israel tried time after time to make peace and was met with violence, has proved my doubts were correct."
Mr Shavit, with a nod to his British ancestors and his Anglophilia, says he wants to keep the debate rational and courteous. He regrets that Israel has not translated its "great energy to sober rational behaviour".
Yet Mr Shavit is still proud of and confident in Israel. He supports US Secretary of State John Kerry but cautions that Israel needs to adopt "a new peace concept". It needs to be more humble, more British. It needs to be step-by-step and there needs to be a "Plan B" if the talks fail. He is beginning to sound like a politician in the wings, but he smiles and says that while he is willing to do a lot to help his country, becoming a politician is not on his agenda. Yet.

A shamed Roman Catholic priest "MONSIGNOR METH" after cooking up $300,000 of the highly addictive drug — and running an adult video and sex toy shop — pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge on Tuesday.
Kevin Wallin, of Waterbury, Connecticut, was charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and will now face 11 to 14 years in prison when he is sentenced on June 25.
The 61-year-old dealer in a collar had up to four pounds of meth mailed to him by co-conspirators in California that he then sold from his apartment, according to prosecutors.
Wallin also bought an adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven named Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place, in a bid to launder his drug earnings, law enforcement said, RadarOnline noted.
The downward spiral from a respected 30 year veteran of the church into the seedy world of sex and narcotics reportedly stemmed from years of struggling with his faith while coping with the stress of running a financially crippled church.
Tell-tale signs began two years ago when Wallin lost a dramatic amount of weight, began walking stooped over, was absent from church, and then parishioners began spotting suspicious men trooping in and out of the rectory — until he was eventually forced to resign in June 2011.
The sordid real life tale came to an abrupt end when Wallin was arrested after an undercover officer bought meth from him six times over a four month period, paying more than $3,400 in total for 23 grams of the drug.
"What he did in the end was shocking and spiraled out of our control," said Brian Wallace, a spokesman for the Diocese of Bridgeport, told the New York Times. "When we learned about it we took action immediately and forcefully — and regrettably — given how good a priest he was."

Traveling nurses move from city to city months at a time, you can't really expect to eat whatever you want, not exercise and have your body be okay with it. I know, it can be difficult to pick up on regular exercise right after moving to a new home, but you have to make your health a priority; otherwise your happiness, and eventually your work, is going to be compromised.
How many times have you heard something like this: "I ate so much on my vacation I think I gained like 5 lbs"? Or maybe something like "I didn't work out at all during my trip so I'm going to have to start exercising again." Statements like these are typical for those that travel every once in a while, but these don't really work for those that are in the traveling nurse field.
So for all you traveling nurses, here are a couple quick fitness tips on maintaining healthy fitness levels while on the road:
- Read Up on Fundamentals to Fat Loss and Fitness – No, this is not some short, contradicting blurb you read on the 9th page of a gossip magazine you pick up at the supermarket. It's a summary of time-tested and researched principles on effective fat loss. If you understand these principles you can better understand how your body works and can avoid useless quick fat loss schemes.
- Yelp! A Gym As Soon As You Can – In addition to looking up some of the best restaurants in your new neighborhood, make some time to look up nearby gyms that you can join as soon as you arrive. Trust me, if you can spend a couple of seconds on your iPhone looking up 4+ star restaurants on yelp!, you can easily take a couple more seconds to search up local gyms in the area.
- Not a gym fan? Why not kickbox or dance it up? – These days, disliking the gym is not an adequate excuse for no exercise. There are plenty of different types of fitness classes and activities that are fun, challenging and great for raising your fitness levels and know-how. Some of these include martial arts (kickboxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing), dance (salsa, hip hop, modern, ballet) and yoga. If you're adventurous enough to be a travelling nurse, then signing up for a beginner's class in martial arts or dance should be a walk in the park.
- The Home Gym Alternative – Okay we get it. You don't want to do the gym thing and exercising with a random group of strangers in a yoga or dance class is not your thing either. Creating a home gym and doing body weight exercises is a great alternative to staying active and moving well. Just pack a set of resistance bands, invest in a suspension training cord and set up some workout space in your home. Check out Ross Enamait at RossTraining.com for some great home workout equipment or check out this quick 3 minute body weight exercise video.
- Wellness and Balance Over Fitness – Often times people get caught up in wanting to lose 5-10 lbs or reducing pant size and think that the obvious solution is to just eat healthier and exercise more. To achieve a life of wellness, the solution isn't just about greater fitness and a healthy diet. It requires a commitment to achieving balance and prioritizing health and fitness in your life. This means eating well and exercising in ways that make you feel happy and balanced. Don't overdue your diet or your exercise program because you'll burn out fast, but don't go too easy on yourself or else it'll take a long time to see progress. Work towards balance and your pathway to wellness and fitness will be a little easier.
As a traveling nurse, living a life of fitness and wellness is a difficult path.
More often you are expected to take care of the health of others, but who is going to take care of yours? We hope that this personal responsibility falls a little easier with the tips described above.

Catanus, ABS-CBN Middle East News Bureau Posted at Jun 01 2013 10:34 AM | Updated as of Jun 01 2013 06:36 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn AL-KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Philippines Airlines (PAL) is planning to resume its flight operations to Saudi Arabia's major cities on December 1, 2013. PAL senior officials from Manila arrived recently in Al-Khobar and met with Filipino community leaders to get the views of the Filipino community on the airline's plan to resume flights to Saudi. According to PAL product manager Reynaldo Garcia, the airline plans to resume its flights from Manila to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam to cater to the needs of the Filipinos. "Nandito po kami to explore the possibility of operating again in Saudi Arabia," Garcia said. He promised that should the plan push through, they will provide better services that will satisfy their countrymen. "If ever na matuloy ang aming operation dito eh sana ho masuportahan ninyo kami at gagarantisaduhin namin na wala ng tatalo pa sa karinyo ng kapwa mo Pilipino. Kaya tangkilikin natin ang sariling atin. Mag-Philippine Airlines tayo," Garcia said. The Filcom leaders welcomed PAL's plan, but expressed hope the airline will offer competitive prices and better services than the other airlines. "Maganda ito at sana matutuloy ang plano ng PAL na magbalik-biyahe dito sa kaharian para makapag-bigay kasiyahan sa kapwa-OFW na makasakay sa Pambansang Airline ng ating bansa sa tuwing bakasyon o pag-uwi namin sa Pilipinas," said Gamaliel Gonzales, an official of the All Filipino Community and Sports Commission (AFCSCOM). "Sana maging competitive yong price at service ng Philippine Airlines compared sa ibang airlines at sana naman madagdagan ng kilos ang mga bagahe ng mga Pilipinos para lalo silang matutuwa at lalo nilang tangkilikin ang Phil. Airline, mabuhay!" stated Lulu Silverio, an AFCSCOM official. According to Pocholo Azucena, PAL Manager for GSA Relations and Charter Services, the flight services would use newly purchased Airbus 330 aircrafts. "We have acquired new aircrafts, Airbus 330, they are high gross weight aircrafts that could carry up to 414 passengers," Azucena said. He said they will also go to Riyadh and Jeddah to meet the Filcom there. A second group of PAL technical people will visit in June. Based on the embassy's record, tourist arrivals from Saudi Arabia to the Philippines,especially among families, has increased from 22,214 in 2010, and 27,945 in 2011, to 30,040 visitors in 2012.

text: I just picked up volume 6 edition 6 of Silvershotz magazine. I think it's a beautiful publication. In this edition, there's an article "Darkroom to Lightroom, exploring Ways of Mimicking Alternative Processes" by Ray Spence and Tony Worobiec. Excellent article. As you probably can guess, it's article on mimicking these processes digitally. There's a brief explaination on what the old process is then it goes on how to get the look using Photoshop and an inkjet printer. I just started doing cyanotypes and I'm not sure you could "mimic" the process. I think digital is too repeatable and is missing the element of chance. I don't have a problem using ink jet film to enlarge an image for alternative processes, however I'm ambivalent about imitating old photo processes. What are your opinion about this subject?

The amusement industry in Russia has grown significantly in the last five years and has become an important part of cinemas and shopping malls, according to operator GameTrade.
Speaking with InterGame at the RAAPA show held in Moscow recently, GameTrade's Yaroslav Sobko said: "We now have a lot of companies with their own brands and customers know them well. The entertainment business is now an important part of the cinemas and shopping malls and everyone understands it. "But only the effective companies will be successful; the companies that take care about their clients and work hard on customer loyalty. The main difference in Russia is that bowling is still growing in popularity compared with markets such as the US and Europe." GameTrade, which currently operates three FECs in Russia and five in the Ukraine, offers solutions for entertainment centres - developing, designing and planning the project as well as supplying the equipment and training.

General Comments
I have had the Walther CP99 CO2 pistol for a few months, and I have shot at least 1500 rounds through it. The guns craftsmanship is top notch. It is easy to load, and I like the removable CO2 "magazine". The CP99 is very accurate. However, this pistol has very little power. Pellets will bounce right off of a plastic soda bottle from as close as 15 feet.
If you are looking for an accurate pistol that looks and feels great, and don't mind the low muzzle velocity, this is the one for you. If you are looking for something with power, look elsewhere.

Manhattan Beach police were searching Saturday for a man who robbed a US Bank on Friday afternoon and escaped on a red bicycle, Sgt. Steve Kitsios said.
Witnesses described the suspect as a white man, 5-feet-7 to 5-feet-8 inches, weighing about 160 pounds and with gray and white hair, Kitsios said. At around 1 p.m. on Friday, he entered the bank at 3300 N. Sepulveda, pointed a gun at a teller and walked out with cash, Kitsios said. Police aren't saying how much money the man took.
Later in the afternoon, police found the bicycle in a residential neighborhood near the bank, Kitsios said, but there was no sign of the robber.
The FBI is assisting Manhattan Beach police with the investigation, Kitsios said.
Police ask anyone with information about the crime to call Sgt. Paul Ford at 310-802-5123.

text: Politics 23 January 2012 Should we cheer a sobriety pill? Sign up for our weekly email * Willpower is probably starting to ebb from that New Year's resolution to cut down on alcohol. Why? Because you're fighting your natural inclinations: intoxication is a basic human drive. That's why children so enjoy being giddy after spinning around or rolling down a grassy bank. For adults, such pleasures are invariably guilty ones associated with being irresponsible. The reaction to scientists' invention of the "sobriety pill", therefore, was fascinating. To some, the properties of dihydromyricetin, which can make drunk animals sober within a few minutes of ingestion, seem like a godsend. The pill is about to enter human trials but this has brought out some people's inner puritan. Surely, they claim, those who get high shouldn't be allowed to avoid the crash to earth. What's often missed is that it is entirely normal to get high. Human beings have always sought intoxication, and always will. Nor is it just us. Tasmanian wallabies have been caught repeatedly raiding fields of poppies grown to produce pharmaceutical opium (they're not difficult to catch - once they have ingested enough opium, they run around in crazed circles). Malaysian shrews go mad for the fermented nectar of the bertam palm. Elephants happily get tipsy on fermented fruit. The desire to get high is a by-product of evolutionary success. The pleasure involved is created by brain circuits that encourage us to do things that are essential to survival - sex and eating, for example. In research published last year, this was extended to include less obvious tasks such as seeking out vital minerals: allowing salt-deprived rats to drink salty water activated the same gratification circuits that are hard at work when cocaine and heroin addicts have just sated their cravings. Alcohol gives pleasure through a slightly different brain chemistry from narcotics. It is associated with the neurotransmitter known as gamma-aminobutyric acid, or "gaba". The brain has many different receptors for gaba, each of which induces one of the various experiences familiar to alcohol drinkers: euphoria, sedation, memory loss and impaired motor skills, for instance. It might be possible to create a pill that binds only to the gaba receptor associated with euphoria and thus creates none of the negative effects. Such alcohol proxies are, to puritans' undoubted horror, under development. No rewards Research is also aiming to reduce harm from narcotics by creating vaccines that will help those trying to kick cocaine or heroin addictions. These innovations train the immune system to respond as if the narcotic were a foreign invader. By vaccinating an addict with a drug composed of conjoined cocaine and cholera toxin, for instance, the immune system generates antibodies to cocaine. When it comes into contact with pure cocaine, it sequesters it in the bloodstream, preventing it from reaching the reward centres of the brain. No one pretends that these measures are problem-free. In some trials, narcotic vaccines have led to relapsing addicts taking dangerous amounts of drugs in pursuit of a full high. Because the sobriety pill makes you feel normal but does nothing to reduce blood alcohol levels, it brings with it increased risk of alcohol poisoning and, for those who have popped a pill and consider themselves sober enough to drive, a drink-driving conviction. However, once we accept that human beings won't stop getting high, it becomes clear that finding ways to minimise harm is, flawed or not, the responsible thing to do - whatever the new puritans say.

Aspiring to gain relevancy in the gaming headset marketplace, aspiring to gain ground against veritable titans like SteelSeries, Tritton and Turtle Beach, Skullcandy finally stepped into the ring with both feet this year by acquiring high-end audio systems manufacturer Astro Gaming. With a $200+ product line that includes the A30, A40 and A50 headset models, Astro is esteemed for their upscale retail — the A40 is even the official headset of Major League Gaming.
But SkullCandy has left its new partner's old wares to their own dimension, opting instead to develop an original headwear line from scratch. The result: the SLYR, PLYR 2 and PLYR 1 — a PC/PS3/Xbox 360-compatible trio of specially designed gaming headsets boxing the professional spirit of Astro's past into more affordable packages starting at $80, $130, and $180 respectively. Game Rant went ears-on with the middle-ground option, the wireless PLYR 2, and what we discovered was an encouragingly inspired piece of gaming periphery.
While it lacks the PLYR 1's inclusion of Dolby Digital Surround Sound virtualization, the PLYR 2 is predicated upon Skullcandy's patented Supreme Sound technology. Now, that's the kind of vague, esoteric terminology that can fly right over a causal peripheral buyer. But the idea is rather simple: Bass is strong but unobtrusive, providing power and impact to a full range of sounds; tinny vocals are scrubbed clean, illuminating the natural inflections of the voice; and highs remain crisp and clear, avoiding the all-too-common muffling or piercing effect that can accompany crescendos and natural loud fluctuations. And for the most part the PLYR 2 lives up to its billing. Surround sound doesn't quite match the A50's high-end hyper-realism — perhaps ditching Dolby was the difference — but it's crisp and immersive nonetheless. First-person shooters capture everything from explosions to footsteps; music can tug at your heartstrings in one song while bass-massaging your eardrums in the next.
Ultimately, though, sound is what the ears make of it. Where most high-end headset packages will offer an abundance of user customization tools (read our Tritton Pro+ 5.1 review), the options can get a little ambiguous in Skullcandy's mid-range milieu. This was evident with the PLYR 2. The only means of adjusting the frequency — the density — of its sound is the EQ3 Equalizer, a switch on the lower right cup which toggles between three tuning profiles: Bass, Supreme and Precision. I was able to discern the subtle shifts in frequency that occur with each setting and gave the switch a heavy workout between different songs, videos and games. Trouble is, Skullcandy doesn't provide any specifics regarding the levels in their instruction manual (which is thin on detail all around) or on their website, and it's impossible for a user to determine the whether or not their optimal range is being harnessed. It's a handy feature, the EQ3. It's just bound to leave the purists and pedants truly devoted to tinkering — connecting — with their sound yearning for more.
Functionally, the PLYR 2 is a surfeit of harmony with a side dish of headache. In a vacuum, it's a field-worthy wireless gaming headset: Voice quality is received and transmitted with crystal clarity; the pivoting boom mic conveniently switches on or off automatically as it's flipped up or down; a four-direction toggle knob on the right ear adroitly adjusts master volume (vertically) and voice/game-volume balance (horizontally); wireless connection is established instantly through a palm-sized transmitter (which plugs into your device) and sustains impeccably within — as far as we could test — 100 feet; and the battery will pluck 7 hours out of a full charge. Unfortunately, the PLYR 2 doesn't mesh well with every console setup. Thanks to a super short 41-inch cord for its transmitter-A/V input connection, anyone whose console is remotely distant from their television would be facing a few… furniture alterations. This hassle is only compounded with HDMI-wired systems (i.e. circa 2007 and newer), as the headset's A/V cables would still need to plugged in while a user reroutes the console's audio (via system settings), but not video, into the two red/white prongs.
As a testament to their brand name, the Skullcandy PLYR 2's look delicious. The initial line is being offered in three different color schemes — Black/Yellow, White, and Teal/Navy (Game Rant, appropriately, received the foremost) — with the secondary shade coating the headset's inner lining and perfectly contrasting a sleekly engraved, sharply edged, fragmented primary-colored shell. Input jacks are conveniently concealed within the underside groove, while the volume knob and boom mic remain closely fastened and contoured to the frame. The foam-padded cushions snugly ensconce the ears and seal out a fair share of sound waves. (But fair warning: they don't seal many in. Laptop game mid-flight at your own risk.) At a feathery 1.75 lbs the frame — though durable — is plenty flexible and never weighs, pun intended, upon the overall listening experience.
Despite its inconsistencies, the PLYR 2 is a formidable surround-sound wireless headset worth any gamer's consideration — as much on behalf of its moderate price point as its delectable decibel quality, polished construction and efficacious operation. The model would benefit from a more robust suite of customization options and some more intuitive transmitter wiring. But as part of a newly incepted product line it's hardly a bad start: Skullcandy's acquisition of Astro is an auspicious one indeed.
The Skullcandy PLYR 2 wireless gaming headset is compatible with the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. It retails for $129.95.

We're steadfastly approaching the three year anniversary of the day that Dany Heatley was dealt but thanks to his expected regression and the fact that he's gone from playing on a Stanley Cup contender to being a secondary scorer on the Minnesota Wild, our interest and anger towards the former 50-goal scorer has waned faster than Heatley's production.
I mean, at this time, pointing out that Dany Heatley is suing his former representative just seems like piling on. Maybe some fans out there will find humor and share laughs over the fact he:
"…alleges that his former agent and business adviser, Stacey McAlpine, as well as McAlpine's parents, Gerald and Eugenia, lured him into several real-estate ventures across Canada and the United States with promises of huge returns that never materialized. The lawsuit, filed last week in the Court of Queen's Bench in Calgary, also alleges that Heatley's former agent dipped into his bank accounts and made unauthorized withdrawals of more than $4-million."
Poor Dany, he just can't escape diminishing roles, production and investments.
I'm sure somewhere out there, Eugene Melnyk is feeling completely empathetic for the winger. He, if anyone, knows that there's nothing quite like making a large investment and seeing said investment, say a six-year, $45 million one, go south quickly.
Now Melnyk also knows that there's often a light at the end of that tunnel. Just because an investment doesn't net a huge return right away, there should always be hope that the return, say Milan Michalek and Jonathan Cheechoo and a second round pick, can leave an entity in a better spot than it was originally in.

It's as easy as a smile!I was so pleased when I tried Crest Whitestrips. The strips were easy work into my morning routine. There was no mess to clean up and I was pleasantly suprised at the difference it made in my smile. My teeth were already pretty white, but it whited them more. I got compiments on how pretty my teeth looked. The added bonus was a $5.00 off coupon I used when I made my purchase. Thanks Crest Whitestrips. — 9 years, 3 months agouspsmaintenance | 1 reviews

Loved them!Last year, I was going to my 20th High School Reunion. I had asked my dentist about teeth whitening because I wanted to look my best for the reunion. He recommended Crest Whitestrips. They were easy to use and they brightened my teeth very nicely. I recommended them to many friends since. They are very effective and a lost less costly than having your teeth whitened at the dentist. — 9 years, 3 months agoJackiepie | 9 reviews

Fantastic ProductI was skeptical after using other whitening strips. I could tell my teeth were yellow when I brushed with white toothpaste and could see the comparison.

My Reasons for Reporting This

RATINGS agency Fitch has raised concerns about the way that banks value their property loans and has highlighted particular worries about Royal Bank of Scotland's Irish book, as it cautioned that banks might need to raise more capital.
This echoes comments made by the Bank of England, which at the end of November called on banks to do a full valuation of their loan books to ensure they have enough capital.
"Fitch has some concerns over the very low risk weightings assigned to loans backed by real estate (residential and commercial mortgages), which are being reviewed by the UK regulator," the ratings agency said yesterday.
Loading article content
Fitch said it was worried about interest-only mortgages, which make up 46% of all home loans, and the impact of an unexpected spike in unemployment.
But it said the main vulnerability lay in banks' books of commercial property loans which were amassed ahead of the financial crisis.
Fitch noted that a large portion of these were the subject of renegotiation, refinancing as sale and that property prices remained under pressure.
It drew attention to the Irish property books of part-nationalised Lloyds Banking Group, owner of Bank of Scotland, and especially that of Edinburgh-based RBS, which owns Ulster Bank.
As of June 30, Lloyds had put aside £6.2 billion to cover write-offs on its £10bn book of Irish commercial property loans.
RBS has £44.8bn of gross loans against which £10.1bn provisions are held.
The major UK banks are "generally soundly capitalised", Fitch said. But it said they would likely have to set aside more, either by way of additional capital buffers or higher risk weightings, for certain classes of loans.
Earlier this month, Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King said the US had been faster and better at recapitalising its banking system than the UK.
Meanwhile, it was reported that Lloyds is to repay between €8bn (£6.8bn) and €10bn of the long-term cash it borrowed last year from the European Central Bank.
Such a move would be a signal that it believes it has a strong balance sheet and liquidity position so does not need the cash.

This hostel does not exist. We were very disappointed when we were greeted by the owner of the house and told the hostel had been sold long ago. We, and others, had to find alternative accommodation at once. Not very nice. Hostelworld should check that what they offer is in fact available, after all they do charge a fee for their services.

Review: Resogun
Do you like shmups? Do you like electro music and dubstep? Do you like cylinders? Then you'll love Resogun. A spiritual successor to the likes of Super Stardust HD, Resogun is instantly addictive, action packed and, most of all, stupid amounts of fun.
Resogun is a side scrolling shooter, but instead of existing on a flat plane it's set in a cylinder. This makes the levels seem small by comparison as you fly around in circles, but the enemy spawning, arsenal of weapons and gameplay mechanics prevent it from every feeling anything other than intense. Upon diving into the first level you'll be greeted with a brilliant neon aesthetic that looks as though it belongs to a Daft Punk music video accompanied by a soundtrack that wouldn't go astray either. You'll quickly notice the cylindrical level design and realise you're able to see enemies before you reach them. The design allows you to plan ahead to a degree and plan ahead you must, because combos are the key to successful high scores.
Another immediately noticeable facet of your ship in Resogun is that it can only shoot horizontally. It can't fire at any angles nor can it fire up and down. This means you need to skillfully pilot your craft into the correct location at all times in order to rack up kills. In the game of Resogun, you move or you die. Constantly being on the move is the number one priority at all times, followed closely by weapon and inventory management.
You start each level with you standard infinite laser, a couple of bombs, boost power and a truly awesome overdrive laser beam that obliterates anything in its way or even anything that comes close. Racking up kills and chasing higher scores means you'll need to combine movement with weapon usage. The truly hardcore will want to avoid using bombs, as it results in a negative score modifier at the completion of the level. Others — like me — will use it to escape certain death. Frequently occuring in Resogun are moments where the only options are to use a bomb or die. Do you risk the points or try and escape on your own? It's a delicate balancing act that totally reinforces the addictive feedback loop of shoot, score, repeat.
Resogun constantly sets you on edge as you play by forcing you to mix up your play style in order to survive. Mindless shooting will get you nowhere. After a few rounds I started to "get" it and was becoming proficient in using my boost at the right time in order to wipe out whole squads of enemies, escape from danger and then use my overdrive to completely destroy every enemy on screen. Moments like these — when your score multiplier begins to go through the roof — produce an almost unequaled high. It's pure video games and pure fun.
Adding yet another element into the mix is the instruction before each level to "Save the last humans". Scattered around each level are several imprisoned little people. Once free, if you manage to collect them before they become cannon fodder you can return them to a mother ship for extra damage or shields and the like. Getting to them is often tricky and you have to play the risk versus reward game in your head within a split second. There's no time for pondering in Resogun.
There are sadly only five levels in Resogun, each with its own boss. Beating the entire game on the medium difficulty setting should take you somewhere in the realm of an hour. It's really quite short, which could be a criticism, however if you are a high score junky the replayability will be off the charts. The more you play, the better you get, the higher your scores. For me, I preferred to play in short bursts. While addictive, I found that playing for too long got quite samey. You can have too much of a good thing.
Resogun is the best example of Remote Play at the PS4's launch as the simplistic controls suit the PS Vita's less than complete feature set. It's great fun blasting away on the PS Vita and the game's simple yet gorgeous visuals translate to the handheld perfectly.
Resogun may very well be the best exclusive launch game on PS4. It's fun, addictive and incredibly well put together. What's more, if you have PlayStation Plus it's free. So there's really no excuse for not downloading it. Now if you'll excuse I need to have just one more go.

[BA] - Foreign Affairs Manifesto
Before I start, Please check out my other campaign articles and vote.
[BigAnt] - Country Presidency Campaign
[BigAnt] - Home Affairs Manifesto
Righto, moving on to foreign affairs.
Alliance TWO ("The World is Ours"):
As of yesterday we officially joined the newest Erepublik alliance TWO read more about it here. The new alliance has actually been in motion for some time now and mostly consists of our allies from the old alliance. It is made up of several ex-ONE members such as Poland, Serbia Spain and Hungary to name a few.
The new alliance was an easy decision for us to choose and makes perfect sense, simply our closest and most dear allies have joined and so it is a smart calculated move to follow suit.
I think the new alliance will further strengthen our nation and act as a strong deterrent to those who threaten our borders. I fully back the creation of this our new alliance and will continue to support our membership within it.
Ministry of Defence:
Firstly, we need a war, we need some action because we are sat doing nothing and have been for weeks and weeks. Its time we take a little risk if it means people are still interested and active.
Lets face it the current government has warned the public a war at the moment is too risky. I'm sorry but that is part of the game, when is attacking or setting up a training war ever not risky? Furthermore I don't agree with pre-setting a TW without having won an election, its disrespectful.
I Promise if elected, to increase the action and get us some war. The fact is we need to take a little risk and more so now we have an alliance backing us.
OK so I mentioned if money needed to be saved I would cut a few MPPs. This has been stalled with the arrival of our new alliance TWO. Countries may change and so may MPP's so I will monitor this over the coming month.
CTA "Call to Arms":
CTA is costly for us, on average we spend 20k a month just sending out some tanks to those who voted the MoD papers. But I support anything that is given out for free and will continue the CTA.
Now we are in an alliance again, we should see more organised strikes and these will continue if not increase depending on how our allies perform on the battlefield so expect these to continue for the coming months not just a term under myself.
"MU Premier League"
This is something I will personally fund as I think it will again boost activity and the competitive side in most of us. The basics of the "MU Premier League" will be to test MU's not just on strength or numbers alone but also organisation and activity. Showing the eUK the ability to react to a situation and react fast.
I will create a section within my Presidential articles of an updated Premier league for those MU's competing and prizes will be available for MU's to hand out.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
The MoFA has being doing a great job of late, with good informative and up-to-date articles for the population to see and read. I would like to see that continue for the future.
I would however like to see our players get more involved abroad and taking diplomatic roles to strengthen connections over-seas. Finally I will add that I personally am a very Pro-TWO individual, I love where we are at and the great relations we share with countries like Poland, Serbia, Spain, Hungary etc and now Brazil \o. I would welcome these bonds to be strengthen for the future.
Also I want to emphasis the fact we are a good country for players to come and try out. This month a number of our Polish brothers joined to help us, I would like to see more of this in the future.
The fact is our MoFA is doing well, just needs to get more people involved and I've seen a great response for those wanting to help out this month. I would again stress for anyone interested to get in touch and I will find you somewhere to apply yourself.
Want to become a minister? -
1: Send me a PM direct, Some information about yourself, how active you are, do you use the IRC, forums etc and the Position you are applying for.
2: I will go through them all and contact you on whether you were accepting as Minister or not. If not, don't worry those chosen will need help, and that's another chance for you to prove me wrong
So Positions available:
2 x Minister of Defense
1 x Minister of Home Affairs
2 x Minister of Foreign Affairs
1 x Minister of Finance
1 x Minister of Health
1 x Minister of Legislative Affairs
Kind Regards,
Big Ant
UKPP Member and Potential CP candidate.
I like all of what is said here, though you can't claim any of these are new ideas 😛
best of luck
MineCraft My new points are based mainly homeland because that is where the work is needed at the moment. with regards to MoFA
We have a new alliance
Good Allies and friends
Good articles
All we need is more people getting involved, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
When you say 'WAR' do you actually mean a proper war or just another pillow-fight with Ireland or Belgium?
Alfa for obvious reasons I would never publicly reveal that sort of information it would be silly.
But I can promise more action for this coming month, and the chance for our fighters to get some exp and Medals under there belts.
We don't have to continue Call to Arms if you don't want to. It does cost us money and is really the only thing we're spending on besides MPPs ((is NHS still privately funded?))
It's certainly not 'targeted' damage for sure, so we might be better served if we took the same number of weapons each day and used them for IRC strikes. (assuming there was someone whose willing to organize and do a good job with it).
voted and will vote on 5th, a few issues I can see arising from TWO but overall bring us a war and I will be happy
There's nothing to baww about as BigAnt is just promising to do exactly what Talon & CD have been doing.
Voted and supported. Was the TWO alliance news and the TW news reported to Congress first? I ask because I am off the forums but would like this clarified please. Thank you
Which TUPer do you think will do the last minute smear artticel this campaign?
Keers, Moir, Behemond.........I'm going for an outside bet of LLC
I agree with most of whats said here...in principle...though, of course, the methods I support are different.
I don't really see anything different between what you offer and what CD/Talon offers/offered. Other than he already planned a war. And Alfa, I don't mind a pillow fight, we still get our TP medals, we still have the desired war.
Dr Hugh, I believe TWO announced itself first, actually, before we made a move on announcing. I know articles were updated after they released an article.
Im glad to see you have decided not to remove any MPP's...yet. I think this would be a silly move all told. I would also back a report on the CTA and how much it is costing us (especially if you actually manage to lower taxes) as I'd rather not waste our reserves that have been built up, though I think it is a great thing for members who like to fight but cant make it to strikes on time, or at all even.
Thanks Bohemond, but was the TW announcement made to Congress before it was included in the CD manifesto? As CD is a minister who signed Talons pledge to be neutral I am slightly interested as to which were informed first seeing as he apparently played a pivotal role in the arranging of the TW
"I would however like to see our players get more involved abroad and taking diplomatic roles to strengthen connections over-seas."
In what way do you want to involve them? When I was MoFA I found that people loathed being an ambassador(Which usually resulted in them just having to google translate government papers) and it was very hard to make their job more interesting.
What I proposed to Wayne when he was still running(And what he was going to incorporate, had he actually ran) was that...
(cont).. older players like myself who used to be heavily involved in diplomacy etc. teach a small group of newer players(The MoFAs or dMoFAs or however you please) how to do the job, with the older players guiding them. If that means you'll only be able to make, say, 2 new players co-MoFAs with 2 old players helping them then that's still 2 players you help develop to become great players.
In our example(I'm sure Wayne won't mind me saying this) we had Butjam and somebody else(I forgot who, sadly) as MoFAs with me and Talon guiding them. It's safe, actually teaches people useful skills and doesn't make them feel like they're useless.
Wish erep allowed for bigger comments.
Was the TW announcement made to Congress before it was included in the CD manifesto? Anybody?
My point was BigAnt that your party spent months challenging TUP for doing the same old thing, and all you've proposed is a few tiny and insignificant changes to the set-up we built. I take that as a vindication of all TUP stands for. It's not a criticism of your manifesto, I'm glad to see you with sensible policies.
Was the TW announcement made to Congress before it was included in the CD manifesto? Anybody?
As CD signed an pledge to be non partial it does seem strange that he announces Government policies in his manifesto before announcing it to Congress. That and the debacle about NE'ing Russia could make people think he is unsuitable for such a position
Dr Hugh, the issue with Russia was that he contacted them, and their MoFA said 'this is official'.
What that situation highlighted was how Congress can deny a war if they so choose and how a CP can be challenged by his Congress
A message was still sent by himself to accept the NE against Russia which could have been dangerous and lead to us being wiped.
Anyway, was Congress informed of the TW with Belgium before it was announced in CD's manifesto?
It appears that there isn't going to be much policy change, so much for NE's "new eU.K."

A Grand Experience
A Grand Experience charts a journey by three artists - writer Eugene O'Brien, musician Wayne Brennan and photographer Veronica Nicholson - along the Grand Canal on board an original 68 metre Grand Canal barge.
As they travel through Ireland's midlands, they rediscover a lost Ireland, a deep sense of history and heritage and a community that, in spite of the worst ravages of the recession, is thriving and embracing its own uniqueness and talent.
Their challenge - to create an artistic response to the people and places they encounter on their journey. This is a visually stunning travelogue which brings viewers on a timeless journey through an unspoilt and enduring part of Ireland.
