Can you buy another car while your other car is in repossession?
Yes. But you might have a difficult time getting a loan for it. If you just go pony up for a "beater" to get around in, you shouldn't have a problem.

Where can you buy repossessed cars?
Here is a variety of advice: . If I were you I would check out your county for repossessions to be sold they generally sale for 2/3 of the loan value. . I would NOT buy a …car that has been repoed. Simple logic tells me that the driver was NOT doing ANY repairs or even oil changes, before it got pulled away. In my years of experience doing vehicle repos, (yes I do know what I am talking about here) the number of outright clunkers was higher than 75 percent. . Junk on wheels is what we used to call them. Run to death and barely able to be driven. Buyer beware is what I say . . What if my truck worth 15k is repoed because I quit paying on the 20k loan. Then I buy it at auction because I know I took care of it? Heck, I could even dirty it up inside a little first so it will auction for less. . It won't work. If it was repo'd by a buy-here-pay-here lot, they'll put it back on the lot and certainly aren't going to deal with you. If it was taken by a bank or manufacturer's finance company, it is going to a wholesale auction where you need a dealer's license to bid. Some smaller credit unions or finance companies will sell their repo's in their parking lot, but that's just like the BHPH place - they aren't going to talk to you. Besides, you STILL OWE the difference between the loan (plus repo fees) and what it brings. It's cheaper to make your payments. . It's fine to buy a repo car if you take someone with you who knows a bit about cars. Where repo cars are sold is different from place to place. Try Googling your city and car auctions or else looking up auctions in the phone book. . Call your local Credit Unions and ask them if they have any vehicles for sale. Most of them do these days. These are high quality cars for good prices and you are buying from a reliable source. Credit Unions will also give you good financing terms to get the cars off of their books. You could search online or just open the phone book and start calling.
Can a car be repossessed while it is impounded?
Robert, read the contract where it mentions DEFAULT. Default is not JUST making payments on time. It usually covers having the required ins., NOT using the car in an illegal m…anner. Whenever you are in default, the lender can repo. YES, it can be repoed from the impound. On an involuntary tow, the impound is required to notify the LEINHOLDER and the owner. As a matter of fact I dearly love to impound cars - then find out there is repossession order out of them because then I ALWAYS get paid by the lienholder.
If you have a car voluntarily repossessed can you get another car?
YES, usually you pay MORE down payment and/or higher interest rates.
How do you buy a repossessed car?
If you are trying to buy a specific car, you can contact the bankor whoever holds the lien on the vehicle for more information. Youmay also start online with a free directory …search for banks andother financial institutions who are selling repossessed cars. There are also other alternatives. You can go to either offline oronline public auctions. Even though these auctions are attended bya high number of car dealers, you can still find very good deals,particularly since you're buying for yourself ( not to resellafterwards ). Besides public auctions, you might also consider government carauctions. They're repossessed auctions where a government contractwas involved in the original purchase. They're pretty safeenvironments and you can save up to 90% or more by attending theright auction. Just find as many as you can in your area ( so thatyou increase your chances of finding one with few other bidders )and familiarize yourself with the local rules and codes. Beforebidding, always have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic and get avehic
Can you buy another car before your car gets repossessed?
O' yea, that is a brilliant idea. If you can afford to buy another car, then you can afford to pay for the one you agreed to pay for. Make the payments on the car you now own,… and your problems will disappear. Stop being stupid and trying to work the system. They loaned you money in good faith. You signed a contract to make payments each and every month. Be a man of honor and do what you said you would.. When you finance or lease a vehicle, your creditor holds important rights on the vehicle until you've made the last loan payment or fully paid off your lease obligation. These rights are established by the signed contract and by state law. If your payments are late or you default on your contract in any way, your creditor may have the right to repossess your car.. Talking with Your Creditor It is easier to try to prevent a vehicle repossession from taking place than to dispute it afterward. Contact your creditor when you realize you'll be late with a payment. Many creditors will work with you if they believe you'll be able to pay soon, even if slightly late.. Sometimes you may be able to negotiate a delay in your payment or a revised schedule of payments. If you reach an agreement to modify your original contract, get it in writing to avoid questions later. Still, your creditor may refuse to accept late payments or make other changes in your contract and may demand that you return the car. By voluntarily agreeing to a repossession, you may reduce your creditor's expenses, which you would be responsible for paying.. Remember that even if you return the car voluntarily, you're responsible for paying any deficiency on your credit or lease contract, and your creditor still may report the late payments and/or repossession on your credit report.. Seizing the Car In many states, your creditor has legal authority to seize your vehicle as soon as you default on your loan or lease. Because state laws differ, read your contract to find out what constitutes a "default." In most states, failing to make a payment on time or to meet your other contractual responsibilities are considered defaults. In some states, creditors are allowed on your property to seize your car without letting you know in advance.. But creditors aren't usually allowed to "breach the peace" in connection with repossession. In some states, removing your car from a closed garage without your permission may constitute a breach of the peace.. Creditors who breach the peace in seizing your car may have to pay you if they harm you or your property.. A creditor usually can't keep or sell any personal property found inside. State laws also may require your creditor to use reasonable care to prevent others from removing your property from the repossessed car. If you find that your creditor can't account for articles left in your car, talk to an attorney about whether your state offers a right to compensation.. Selling the Car Once your creditor has repossessed your car, they may decide to sell it in either a public or private sale. In some states, your creditor must let you know what will happen to the car. For example, if a creditor chooses to sell the car at public auction, state law may require that the creditor tells you the date of the sale so that you can attend and participate in the bidding. If the vehicle is to be sold privately, you may have a right to know the date it will be sold.. In either of these circumstances, you may be entitled to buy back the vehicle by paying the full amount you owe, plus any expenses connected with its repossession (such as storage and preparation for sale).. In some states, the law allows you to reinstate your contract by paying the amount you owe, as well as repossession and related expenses (such as attorney fees). If you reclaim your car, you must make your payments on time and meet the terms of your reinstated or renegotiated contract to avoid another repossession.. The creditor must sell a repossessed car in a "commercially reasonable manner" - according to standard custom in a particular business or an established market. The sale price might not be the highest possible price - or even what you may consider a good price. But a sale price far below fair market value may indicate that the sale was not commercially reasonable.. Paying the Deficiency A deficiency is any amount you still owe on your contract after your creditor sells the vehicle and applies the amount received to your unpaid obligation. For example, if you owe $2,500 on the car and your creditor sells the car for $1,500, the deficiency is $1,000 plus any other fees you owe under the contract, such as those related to the repossession and early termination of your lease or early payoff of your financing.. In most states, a creditor who has followed the proper procedures for repossession and sale is allowed to sue you for a deficiency judgment to collect the remaining amount owed on your credit or lease contract.. Depending on your state's law and other factors, if you are sued for a deficiency judgment, you should be notified of the date of the court hearing. This may be your only opportunity to present any legal defense.. If your creditor breached the peace when seizing the vehicle or failed to sell the car in a commercially reasonable manner, you may have a legal defense against a deficiency judgment. An attorney will be able to tell you whether you have grounds to contest a deficiency judgment.. Remember this repossession will stay on your credit for 7 years.
Can you buy another car after a repossession?
Answer . \nYes, you can. My father did this. The thing is, you get a really high interest rate. You could try to have someone co-sign to get the interest rate down a lit…tle.. Answer . Yes but why would you want too??save your money and buy a used car outright.Then\nthere are no car payments or paying full coverage insurance.Think of the money\nyou will save.
Can they move another car while repossessing a car?
Answer . Yes. Answer . As long as they do no damage to it and put it back, it is legal. Per U.C.C.
If you are 3 months behind on your car payments can you still buy another car and let the other car go into repossession?
Answer to your Question . \nno
What is the catch in buying repossessed cars?
The biggest turn-off when buying Repossessed Car: As you already know, Repossessed Car Auction is a great way to buy your new car or other types of vehicle (boat repo aucti…on, RV repo auction, ...); however, it seems almost too good to be true, because the price is very low. The catch lies in the fact that Repossessed Cars were taken from their previous owners by the government, so they are basically used cars. Therefore, you must take all the steps necessary to find out about the history or the damages of the repossessed car yourself. Why you should still go for Repossessed Car: The easiest answer is: because it is very cheap. Normally, you can find one at as low as $200. Furthermore, even though repossessed cars have been used, they were taken away because their owners couldn't pay the bills, not because they were damaged or got into accidents. Thus, most of the times you will find very good repossessed cars that are perfectly normal and usable. Still, remember to check its history and VIN number! Also, remember to visit websites like www.vehicleshq.com to prepare your knowledge before going to a real repossessed car auction.
Where can you buy repossessed cars from?
Repossessed cars can be purchased directly from Banks and Credit Unions. Many larger Banks and Credit Unions will simply send the vehicles off to "dealer only" auctions, but m…ost of the smaller Banks and Credit Unions will offer these vehicles for sale on their websites to the general public. If you view the "related links" section on this page there is a website which is a free repo finder tool that lists direct links to Credit Union repossession across America. You can browse local repossessions in your area and then contact the individual Banks and Credit Unions about purchasing the vehicles.
Can you buy another car though your first car got repossessed?
Yes, if you have the money you can buy it. If you are searching for a car loan, you may have some difficulty in that. Paying cash, no problem.
Can your car be repossessed while you are active duty?
Technically no. They still can but they may not know your on active duty. Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Installment Contracts. The SCRA gives certain protections against …repossessions for installment contracts (including automobile leases). If the contract was entered into before going on active duty and at least one payment was made before that time, the creditor cannot repossess the property, while the member is on active duty, nor can they terminate the contract for breach, without a court order.

Can a car get repossessed in another state?
in this case, dont worry what the law says, regardless. look at it like this, if you were out driving, and at the red light you were carjacked, and 2 weeks later you went wi…th a few friends across a few state lines, then out of nowhere you saw your car parked, would you as the rightful owner of the car jump in it and go? or are you going to wait for the police? fact is: as a repo guy paid to act on behalf of the owner (in this case, the dealer), you will jump in, sit down, and drive off, no excuse... yes, you can be repoed out of state...

If my car was repossessed can i get another auto loan?
Yes, but it might have to be a place that carries their own paper-which means more interest if no one else will do it. It also depends on circumstances. (Was it voluntary)

Can a car be repossessed at another location?
I assume you mean other than your home address. But the answer is yes, it can be repossessed anywhere, provided they are not breaking and entering, such as a locked garage....…

Can your car be repossessed while parked in reverse?
Yes/No , because if it is parked in reverse, the back wheels would be dragging, and soon shift gears (If repossessed by a chain truck), but if it is a flatbed tow truc…k, then yes, it can be repossessed , because the back wheels would not be dragging, therefor the wheels would not shift gears and ruin the vehicle, or reverse of of the truck! .

Can you buy another car even though is repossessed?
If you have had a car repossessed, you have not kept up with thepayments. You probably still owe money on the repossessed car. In these circumstances, the fact is that you can… not afford topurchase another car and would not be able to obtain the finance todo so.

The form tapping process typically yields unfinished threads known as split crests. Thread quality can be greatly improved by reducing the size and severity of split crest formation. This paper develops a finite element model to simulate form tapping with an eye towards the reduction of split crests. The model is validated against linear scratch experiments, and simulations are compared to actual tapping. The effects of various tap design parameters and tapping process conditions on the formation of split crests are investigated to strive toward an optimal tap design.

Niagara Oast House Brewers
Nestled amongst the Niagara wineries along the road into Niagara-on-the-lake Ontario lies a big old red barn — now the home of the new Niagara Oast House Brewers. The brewery is the passion of a group of local Niagara wine and beer industry friends that decided beer was their love.
The Saison and Biere de Garde are Belgian style farm ales. Seasonals that would have traditionally been served to keep farm workers hydrated and happy in the fields as well as to celebrate the harvest. The ales are an embrace of the local farm spirit that is so deeply integral to the Niagara region.
We assisted in brand creation starting with naming and positioning, then identity, package and interactive. Facility signage and paint treatments as well as tap handles were also created to assist in converting the space into a fun brand experience.

One year later after my new doctor (I told the doctor who diagnosed me that I was taking a hike after that whole incident!) reviewed my bone density scan, he smiled and said, "What have you been doing?! The scan is no different than last years which means whatever you're doing is working, preventing any further bone loss. Keep it up!" He was happy (and impressed) to hear what I had been doing to keep my bones strong. Also, during a teeth cleaning, my dentist commented on how strong and healthy my teeth were looking. One of the first places a doctor can see deterioration or weakness in the bones is in the teeth.
This was all very good news and I have continued with caring for my bones as such. I have faith that my bone scan this month will be similar to last years. Since now I'm a Metagenics rep, I have been taking a high quality calcium supplement, along with a high does of vitamin D3 to ensure absorption. If you would like more information on Metagenics, or would like to order any products, feel free to contact me at email@example.com
...Now, onto the information to help YOUR bones!
Calcium is a mineral needed by the body for healthy bones, teeth, and proper function of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The body cannot produce calcium; therefore, it must be absorbed through food. Bones play many roles in the body. They provide structure, protect organs, anchor muscles, and store calcium. Adequate calcium consumption and weight bearing physical activity build strong bones, optimizes bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
Getting the calcium and vitamin D you need is easier than you think -- if you eat the right foods. Because of heavy promotion by the American dairy industry, the public often believes that cow's milk is the sole source of calcium. However, other excellent sources of calcium exist in a variety of different forms. You have to remember that the dairy industry's number one goal is to sell more dairy products! The truth is that dairy products have been linked to a laundry list of diseases, ailments and increased bone loss. And, while dairy products do contain a lot of calcium, they also contain a lot of protein, which in turn leeches calcium away from the bones.
Keep in mind that excessive alcohol, caffeine, protein, salt and sugar deplete calcium or interfere with calcium absorption. To improve bone health, you should focus on a balanced diet including calcium-rich foods (below) and avoid prepackaged processed foods.
Good sources of calcium (that do NOT come from a cow) include:
Dark Leafy Greens:
Collard Greens
Swiss Chard Kale
Nuts & Seeds:
Flax Seeds
Sesame Seeds
Tahini (sesame seed butter)
Brazil Nuts
Sunflower Seeds
Chia Seeds
Sea Vegetables:
Navy Beans
Pinto Beans
Garbanzo Beans
Lima Beans
Black Beans
Other Foods High in Calcium:
Blackstrap Molasses
As you can see, eating a varied diet rich in dark leafy greens, fruit, nuts, and seeds will give you plenty of calcium and you'll get so many other health benefits from these foods as well!
Don't Forget Your Vitamin D!
Vitamin D is necessary in helping the body absorb calcium. Sunlight is the best source of this vitamin. When the weather permits, try to make it a point to get at least 10-15 minutes of natural sunlight (with NO sunscreen) each day. Make this gesture as important as anything else in your schedule, because it is! Use it as an excuse to get outside for a bit (make a phone call, take a breather, walk around the building, take the dog for a walk, etc.). Another good way to know that you are getting vitamin D is by choosing organic, free-range dairy and/or animal products. Animals that were able to roam freely, in the natural sunlight, were able to absorb vitamin D which then will be in the food you consume.
Are YOU Calcium Deficient?
If you have a calcium deficiency, you may develop twitching, nerve sensitivity, brittle nails, insomnia, depression, numbness, and heart palpitations. My calcium deficiency was through my brittle, flaky nails. For years my nails were so brittle, little did I know it was a sign from my body saying to feed it calcium rich foods and get moving!
Do you get enough calcium? What non-dairy sources do you include in your diet?
Keep it fresh!

DescriptionGenre – or 'type' – is a core concept in both film production and the history of film. Genres play a key role in how moviegoers perceive and rate films, and is likely to determine a film's production values and costs.
Written in a clear, engaging, jargon-free style, this volume offers a cutting-edge theoretical overview of the topic of genre as practiced in British, American and French film criticism. Organized by a series of simple but fundamental questions, the book uses numerous examples from classic Hollywood cinema (the western, drama, musical comedy, and film noir) as well as some more contemporary examples from European or Asian cinema that are so often neglected by other studies in the field. How do we characterize genre and what are its various functions? In what ways does genre give a film its identity? How do genres emerge? What is the cultural significance of genre and how does it circulate within and across national boundaries? Informative and user-friendly, Moine's book is accessible to general readers and adapts easily to a wide range of teaching approaches.

Just a few days ago, I had the pleasure of doing something very odd! I attended an honest-to-god miniature wargaming tournament in Richmond VA! It's odd because in all my years of miniature wargaming tournaments, I've never had the luxury of being home by dinner! The tournament in question was a 300 point Star Wars: Armada event hosted by Dragon's Den. Up until the day of the tournament, the only Wave I game I had played wound up being a bit of a disaster... so I went into it a bit nervous! Plus, I had to represent the Intensify Forward Firepower dudes, and I didn't want to be force choked by Darth Dano.
Without further ado: My list! (image courtesy of Fab's Fleet Generator)
- Victory I + Admiral Screed (99)
- Gladiator I + Demolisher + Wulf Yularen + Assault Concussion Missiles + Engine Techs
- Gladiator I + Assault Concussion Missiles
- Howlrunner
- 4x TIE Fighter Squadrons
The objectives I took were Fleet Ambush, Advanced Gunnery, and Dangerous Territory.
Plans: The plan for the list was to let Screed's VSD flagship be the anchor, while the two glads were the swinging door that slammed shut on enemy ships! The squadrons were entirely disposable, and only really to keep their fighters tangled up for as long as possible.
ROUND ONE was against Sean's Rebels. From memory, Sean had an Assault Frigate with Flight Controllers and Dodonna, a Corvette B with Dodonna's Pride, and a Nebulon B Escort with Yavaris. He also had Luke, 2 X-Wing Squadrons, and 3 B-Wing Squadrons.
I had initiative, and chose to be first player. His objectives were Hyperspace Assault, Intel Sweep, and Precision Strike. I decided Hyperspace Assault was the least sucky - even though I knew it was going to hurt!
Sean wisely had Yavaris perform the hyperspace assault, along with Luke and 2 B-Wings. This was going to hurt! The game played quickly - Dodonna's Pride came screaming up my flank, but landed just in range of my Gladiators. Those Gladiators ate the little Corvette for breakfast, but Sean very nearly had his revenge! He sprung Yavaris and her fighter escorts behind my vanilla Gladiator. He wrecked it, but it was one damage away from death! Sean's dice were a bit against him there, and the lucky Gladiator was able to limp away and stay out of range for the rest of the game!
Sean's assault frigate and other fighters harassed my VSD, and while the VSD took a pounding, it was still mostly okay. The assault frigate stayed out of trouble, and never took any serious damage, even after Demolisher made a pass. Finally, on turn 6, I wasn't actually even sure who was ahead- sure I had knocked out his Corvette, but I was also losing fighters left and right. With my last activation of the game, Demolisher swooped in on the Nebulon B and turned it into space dust. When that dust settled, I had a pretty strong lead on points and won the game 9-0. Sean was an excellent opponent, and one of only two fellas running Rebels. He went on to place second, and I wish I could've seen his other games! I loved his list!
ROUND TWO saw my first ever "blue on blue" in Armada. I faced off against Chuck who was as big of a Gladiator fan as I was! He had 2 Gladiator Is, and both were totally tricked out. Each had Engine Techs, Expanded Launchers, and Sensor Teams. He also had Demolisher, and probably more I am forgetting. He also had a ton of fighter-superiority focused squadrons. Soontir Fel, some TIE Advanceds, some standard TIEs, mauler, and I think one or two more Interceptors - though I forget now.
Since he went first, he chose my Advanced Gunnery. He elected for his non-Demolisher Gladiator to be his objective ship, while mine was the VSD with Screed.
Chuck sent his Demolisher screaming into my lines, and hammered on one of my Gladiators. I burned up my Brace token, and then focused everything I had on Demolisher. With my VSD getting to fire its front red dice twice, and a followup from both Gladiators, his Demolisher went down hard early.
His squadrons predictably slaughtered mine, though with some covering AA from my own ships, it wasn't quite as bad as I expected. Even one blue anti-squadron die against a horde of Imperial fighters isn't too shabby!
His remaining Gladiator swung behind me, but in the end, my Demolisher and VSD were able to put enough damage on it to bring it down nearing the end. With his ships wiped out, and double for his Demolisher, I nabbed a 10-0 that game. Chuck was a solid guy, who I run into all the time at cons - I certainly hope I get the chance to play with him again!
ROUND THREE I totally forgot to take pictures! This game was against Kevin - an employee of the shop and all around solid viking-beard dude! His list had me pretty spooked. He had one VSD I and one VSD II with Screed. I forget what upgrades, but I think he had Sensor Teams on both. Like Chuck, he also had squadrons focused on air Superiority. I forget the exact make-up, but it was similar to Chuck's!
In this game, I was the first player and chose his objective Fleet Ambush. While it was a bit scary to be head on with 2 VSDs, I knew I had the "ship activation advantage" and with enough speed out of Demolisher, I could get behind them rather quickly. I deployed my VSD and Demolisher in the ambush zone fairly aggressively while the other Gladiator was to raise up one flank. I decided to focus everything on his VSD II. Initially, the plan was to kill it and then run for it!
The plan went quite swimmingly, however, as I was able to pounce on his VSD II with my own VSD and 4 shots back-to-back from Demolisher (Bottom of 1: Fire red dice, move up/engine techs to shoot side battery. First activation of 2, open up with front and side batteries), which took that thing down hard! Man, those Assault Concussion Missiles y'all! By now the fighter furball was going strong, but it was in a position where all of my ships could throw AA into the mix, which actually turned it a bit sour for Kevin! I think in the end, just about all of the fighters were done for - but that worked out for me since I had less points invested.
In the end, I wound up circling around, and focusing two Gladiators on his VSD I, and managed to take it down before the end of the game as well. The true power of the Gladiator has been unleashed, and it was terrifying! This game wound up being 10-0 also.
In the end I wound up winning the day with 29 points, and most importantly, had a total blast! Special thanks to Dragon's Den and my opponents. I can't wait for the next opportunity to play out there!

Saint Joseph's rallied from a 16-point deficit in the second half but couldn't get over the hump, falling to Temple, 81-78, in a Big 5 matchup at the Liacouras Center. Shavar Newkirk led Saint Joseph's (4-5; 0-2 Big 5) with 18 points, while Temple (6-2; 1-1) was led by Shizz Alston with 20 points.
Trailing 74-58 with over five minutes to play, Saint Joseph's started chipping away with back-to-back threes from Newkirk and freshman Taylor Funk. Down 76-66, Funk hit a pair of three pointers to pull the Hawks within 76-72 at 1:30.
After missed free throws on SJU's next possession, Josh Brown hit a pair of free throws at :33 to put TU up, 78-72. Newkirk scored quickly to get the Hawks back within four, but Brown made 1-of-2 from the line for a 79-74 Temple lead.
Chris Clover's layup at :11 cut SJU's deficit to 79-76, but Brown iced it with two more free throws as Temple owned an 81-76 lead. Newkirk scored with one second left to provide the final margin.
Clover had 17 points and a career-high nine rebounds for SJU while James Demery added 15 points. Funk scored 15 points on 5-for-6 three-point shooting, with three three-pointers in the final 3:46. Pierfrancesco Oliva grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds.
Leading 40-29 at halftime, Temple maintained the lead throughout the half and took its largest lead to that point, 49-36, on a three-pointer by Quinton Rose at 17:01.
The Hawks came within eight points three more times, and a layup by Clover at 6:47 pulled Saint Joseph's within, 66-58. Temple responded with eight straight points, including five from Rose to give the Owls their biggest margin of the game, 74-58, with over five minutes to play.
In the first half, both teams used double digit runs in the early going. Trailing 8-3, Saint Joseph's went on a 14-0 spurt spanning five minutes, shooting 7-of-11 from the field, to take a 17-8 lead with 12:44 to play. Temple answered with a 10-0 run of its own to retake the lead, 18-17, with 9:22 to play.
Saint Joseph's regained the lead, 26-23, at 6:21 but Temple scored 12 straight, with four from Shizz Alston, to go up 35-26. After a basket by Demery, Perry hit a three-pointer to give Temple its first double-digit lead of the game, 38-28. The Owls took a 40-29 lead into the break.
"This game is a skill game and with eight turnovers in the first half, we didn't have enough skill. Foul shooting is a skill; ball handing is a skill. It was purely skill," said head coach Phil Martelli.
"We just had brilliance in that lockerroom from (injured) Lamarr Kimble. He said to them that every single play is significant. And Shavar (Newkirk) told them that they have to get in the lab. You have to work on your game."
"We played with the right amount of energy – but just not with enough skill."
Saint Joseph's gets a week break for final exams and returns to action on Sunday, December 17, when it hosts Maine at Hagan Arena in a 4:30 p.m. start.

By The Hip Hop Writer
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer
Last year, Ludacris made a triumphant return to the game with his Battle of the Sexes album. His single, "How Low," released late in 2009, was the first track off his comeback album. The song was noted for the change in Ludacris' flow. In 2009, Big Sean originally intended to release his debut album, Finally Famous. While Big Sean's album was not released during this period of time, Drake and Ludacris released new albums.
This summer, Big Sean finally had his run on the top of the game. Many compared Big Sean's lyrical flow to that of Drake's. Trying not to sound angry, Big Sean said Drake got the style from him, after one of their mixtape collaborations. Big Sean also said Ludacris borrowed his rhyming style on both "How Low" and "My Chick Bad." Responding to the comments by Big Sean, Drake credited him for creating the flow and co-signed his Ludacris comments.
Since 2006, Ludacris has been less-involved in making music and more involved in his business ventures. However, during his time in the rap game, Ludacris was known for his high-profile feud with T.I. The two Atlanta rappers traded disses from 2004 until 2007. By 2008, the two rappers surprised the game when they collaborated and featured each other on their respective albums. Ludacris and T.I.'s feud reached new heights in 2007, when T.I. jabbed him for winning a Grammy award over him and Ludacris hit back at him on 50 Cent's "I Get Money (remix)."
Four years have passed since Ludacris last dissed anyone. Before making his name in the big-time world of hip hop, Ludacris was on the mixtape scene. In 2011, Ludacris finally returned with his 1.21 Gigawatts mixtape. The mixtape features the song, "History Lesson," which is a diss aimed at Big Sean and Drake. On the song, Ludacris raps about the people who have used the "okie doke" flow, as he plays snippets of songs from The Notorious B.I.G., Cam'ron, and Q-Tip, featuring them using the flow. While Big Sean accused Luda of stealing the flow, he made it clear he was not dissing Ludacris.
Regardless, on the "History Lesson" song, Ludacris calls out both Big Sean and Drake, but he does not mention them by name. He also talked with Sway Calloway on his Shade 45 show, "Sway in the Morning." During the interview, Sway asked Ludacris if he was taking aim at Big Sean and Drake on the song. Ludacris did not give a direct answer, but said he does not start issues, he finishes them. The DTP boss mentioned how he was called out and he took the time to let the newcomers know about the history which came before them.

A White Heron " A White Heron"ÃÂ by Sarah Orne Jewett is very much an essay of duality. This is seen in the constant appearance of black and white through out the story. Black indicates darkness, ignorance, and evil. The hawks are "dark against the blue sky," and the "shadow of the trees" frightens Sylvia just before she meets the hunter. Sylvia's grandmother warns her that she fears Sylvia might be sucked into the "soft black mud" near the heron's resting place in the swamp. On the other hand, white illustrates light, good, awakening, and freedom. The essay is titled the White Heron. Sylvia's face shines like a "pale star" when she reaches the zenith of her climb. Everything is separated into black and white except Sylvia. Her eyes are grey, thus indicating she has both good and evil inside. She is torn by her love for the hunter, she sees him killing these birds, preventing them from soaring in the sky.
In the end of this Rite of passage story, Sylvia chooses the path of silence, not telling the hunter where she has found the white heron and thus saves the beautiful birds of nature for the time being.

Plasmas. Plasmas exist in a wide range of settings and varieties.
Most stars are made up of plasma. The Aurora Borealis is a plasma light show in our upper atmosphere caused by the bombardment from space of the solar wind - another kind of plasma. Lightning bolts are visible plasma trails left by the passage of the electric current that formed it. As stated in the definition, plasma is a gaseous type of state where the matter making the plasma consists of electrically neutral and charged particles. Overall, plasma is electrically neutral having as many positive ions as free electrons distributed through it. Accelerating electrons through ordinary gas can create plasma, in just the way they create lightning. If you do it in a very low pressure gas - something like the interior of an incandescent light bulb - you usually just get a kind of diffuse glow. How does a Plasma Globe Work? ChemThink.

If we pass a direct electric current through water containing enough ions to make it a good electrical conductor, it will break down into its constituents: hydrogen and oxygen.
Both hydrogen and oxygen gas exist as diatomic molecules so the equation for this chemical reaction is The prefixes tell us that it takes 2 molecules of water to produce one molecule of oxygen and two molecules of hydrogen. If we decompose 36 grams of water (2 moles), we produce 2 moles of hydrogen gas (4 g) and one mole of oxygen gas (32 g). In this reaction, covalent bonds between the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atom in water have been broken and new bonds — between the hydrogen atoms in H2 and the oxygen atoms in O2 — have been formed. This reaction requires the input of energy (electrical in this case). Bond Energy There are many forms of energy: electrical mechanical chemical but all forms are ultimately converted into heat.

What are seeds and how do they germinate? 2. Responding to plant hormones 3. Growth in light vs. dark 4. Responding to the environment: Tropisms 5. Dealing with environmental stress What is a seed? Is it alive? What's inside? What is germination and how does the seed germinate? Ginkgo seed Stages in seed development 1. The zygote develops and the endosperm tissue proliferates through cell divisions and tissue differentiation. 2. Cell division stops and storage compounds accumulate. 3. The seeds dehydrate (losing up to 90% of their water) and become "quiescent". Metabolism halts. The seed coat becomes hard and impermeable to water. The seed detaches from the mother plant as a self-contained system complete with embryo and food source, ready for travel. Lotus seeds Seed germination Germination occurs when the seeds are rehydrated. As the seeds take up water, the following happens: • The cells expand • The seed's food storage supplies become hydrated • Inhibitors of germination are washed out • Hydrated enzymes become active • The seed increases its metabolic activities to produce energy for the growth process Seed Germination This movie of seed germination was made by Professor Roger Hangarter (at Indiana University) using time-lapse photography. Germination of an Arabidopsis seedling In the lab, we can germinate seeds on solid agar media When grown on agar plates, we can see the roots Breaking dormancy • Seeds of many species are dormant, requiring additional signals before germination can occur. They might have a mechanical barrier to water or a physiological "block" that prevents them from germinating. • Some seeds will be not germinate until they undergo "afterripening", which triggers a series of biochemical events, allowing the embryo to become competent to germinate. For example, some temperate species will not germinate until they have been exposed to very cold temperature. • Other seeds must pass through an animal's digestive tract and become scarified before they can imbibe water and become metabolically active. • Still others must pass through fire. This is common in biomes where annual fires are part of the normal climate. Stratification The seeds of many species of plants, deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs along with some perennials and herbs will not germinate without a pre-treatment known as stratification, which helps to remove moisture barriers and physiological blocks. Stratification simulates the natural conditions that a seed undergoes before germinating. Depending on the species, seeds will not break dormancy under too wet or too dry growing conditions, imminent winter conditions, or high temperatures. For seeds that require a development period, dry storage often suffices. Lecture Outline: 1. What are seeds and how do they germinate? 2. Responding to plant hormones 3. Responding to light vs. dark 4. Responding to the environment: Tropisms 5. Dealing with environmental stress Plant hormones Abscisic Acid (ABA) ABA controls many plant processes including embryo maturation, germination, cell division and elongation, and adaptive responses to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, cold, pathogen attack and UV radiation. • ABA induces seed dormancy. For instance, ABA is produced in abundance in the late summer/early fall. The seeds become dormant and cannot germinate even if they are dispersed in autumn. During the winter, the abscisic acid is degraded. By spring the abscisic acid is gone and the seeds can germinate. • Abscisic acid degrades during stratification. When the seeds are then placed in a warm greenhouse (or in an incubator), the seeds assume that spring has come and begin to sprout. What might happen if seeds do not have ABA? Vivipary: precocious germination Is ABA a positive or negative regulator of seed germination? EXPT: Germinating Arabidopsis seeds on ABA How would you design an experiment to demonstrate the effect of ABA on seed germination? In the experiment that you will begin today, you will sow seeds on agar growth media containing three different concentrations of ABA (a dose response) Lecture Outline: 1. What are seeds and how do they germinate? 2. Responding to plant hormones 3. Growth in light vs. dark 4. Responding to the environment: Tropisms 5. Dealing with environmental stress What happens in the DARK? Another time-lapse movie by Roger Hangarter This short movie shows Arabidopsis thaliana seeds germinating in darkness on a vertical agar surface and growing over a period of a few days (1 image captured each hour). Arabidopsis seeds are very small, less than 1 mm long. Typical of most seeds, the root emerges first. Once the root has emerged, the shoot begins to grow. How does this growth differ from germination in the light? From: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html Germination in darkness Etiolation: Growth in the absence of light When germination occurs in darkness (such as under the soil), the following occur: • Root growth slows down • Shoot elongation accelerates (The shoot becomes long and spindly) • The stem has an apical hook with cotyledons closed together • Chlorophyll production is suppressed, so the plant is not green • Leaf development is suppressed WHY? Germination in the Light Photomorphogenesis: developmental effects that are controlled by light Once the seedling emerges into the light, the plant undergoes the following dramatic changes : • • • • • • The apical hook opens The cotyledons separate and expand in size Shoot elongation slows down Root growth increases Leaves develop The chloroplasts develop and produce chlorophyll, so the plants are green Light vs. Dark Two days in the life of germinating sunflower seedlings From: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html EXPT: Germinating Arabidopsis seeds in the light vs. dark Lecture Outline: 1. What are seeds and how do they germinate? 2. Responding to plant hormones 3. Growth in light vs. dark 4. Responding to the environment: Tropisms 5. Dealing with environmental stress Tropism What is tropism? • Directional growth movement in response to an external stimulus What are some examples? For example, roots monitor their surroundings and react to gravity and touch stimulation, because they need to anchor the plant in the soil and supply the plant with water and nutrients. Why do plants have tropisms? Plants must monitor environmental conditions to optimize their growth and survive. Plants have the ability to detect favorable growth conditions, and can alter their growth to move toward those favorable conditions. Tropisms • PHOTOTROPISM: growth towards (or away from) light • GRAVITROPISM: growth oriented relative to gravity • THIGMOTROPISM: growth in response to touch • HYDROTROPISM: growth towards water Phototropism in tomato seedlings This movie shows tomato seedlings that have been germinated in the dark. After 4 days of growth in the dark, a dim blue light is turned on and a movie starts recording the action. Images were captured every 20 min and are played back at 6 frames per sec. Why did the plants exhibit a curvature to the left? From: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html Phototropism in corn seedlings This movie shows a similar experiment using corn seedlings. Images were captured every 20 min and are played back at 6 frames per second. From: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html Gravitropism in Arabidopsis This movie shows the negative gravitropic response of Arabidopsis flower stems after placing the plant on its side. In just over 1 hour, the stems reorient themselves back to vertical. The images for this movie were captured every 15 min in darkness using infrared lighting. Frames are played back at 6 frames per second. http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html Light and gravity Corn seedlings again. After 3 days of growth in darkness, a single light bulb over the center of the pot was turned on. The plants were imaged every 10 minutes for 18 hours. For the first 14 hours the seedlings appear to be worshiping the light as they maintain phototropic curvature. Shown at 12 frames per second. Why do the seedlings straighten near the end of this movie? From: http://plantsinmotion.bio.indiana.edu/plantmotion/movements/tropism/tropisms.html Nutation -Thigmotropism Morning glory vines photographed every 10 minutes http://sciencetrack.blogspot.com/2007/07/twining-motion-of-vines.html What about ROOTS? This movie by Roger Hangarter shows a root of corn (maize) This movie by Professor Simon Gilroy (at University of Wisconsin at Madison) shows the root of an Arabidopsis seedling hitting a glass barrier (12 hours) What do you predict will happen when the root hits the glass? http://www.botany.wisc.edu/gilroy/Site/Movies.html How do tropisms occur? Phototropism is a blue-light-dependent response controlled by the action of specific blue light photoreceptors called phototropins. Gravitropism is dependent on the presence of starch-filled plastids (amyloplasts) in specialized cells. When the orientation of the cells changes, the mass of the starch-filled plastids causes them to sink to the lower end of the cell. The tumbling of the amyloplasts triggers differential growth that causes curvature to develop. The differential growth in tropisms is due to the plant hormone auxin. Auxin stimulates cell division and cell elongation. Where is auxin located? • Shoots and roots have opposite responses to phototropism and gravitropism • Shoots and roots have opposite responses to auxin What if there is NO GRAVITY such as in outer space? Plants in outer space Seeds germinated on Space Shuttle mission 91 (STS-91) The WAICO experiment (= Waving and Coiling of Arabidopsis Roots at Different g-levels) could help scientists figure out how to grow crops in space for future astronauts during long space voyages. Scientists are growing two types of Arabidopsis seeds in both zero gravity and Earth gravity during the study. Arabidopsis seedlings tilted at 45 degrees on hard agar surface. (Top) Wild type seedlings showing more root waving. (Bottom) Mutant strain showing more root coiling. EXPT: Germinating seeds against gravity Lecture Outline: 1.

Dealing with environmental stress Salinity in soil around the world • High salinity in soil is a common environmental problem in irrigated lands and in arid and semiarid regions, yielding poor crop production. • The problem is often associated with high water tables, caused by a lack of natural drainage underground. • Low precipitation is the major factor causing high soil salinity worldwide. • The primary cause of man-made soil salinity is the salt that is brought in with irrigation water. Salt stress in plants A high salt level interferes with seed germination, because water and nutrients cannot move into the plant roots. Salinity acts like drought on plants, preventing roots from performing their osmotic activity where water and nutrients move from an area of low concentration into an area of high concentration. As salinity levels increase, the stress on germinating seedlings increases. Salinity can have a toxic effect on plants because of the high concentration of certain salts in the soil. Salinity prevents the plants from taking up the proper balance of nutrients they require for healthy growth. Salt stress EXPT: Germinating seeds under high salt conditions Arabidopsis thaliana • The life cycle is short--about 6 weeks from germination to seed maturation. • Seed production is prolific and the plant is easily cultivated in restricted space. • Self-fertilizing, but can also be out-crossed by hand. • Relatively small genome (1.5 MB), completely sequenced • Extensive genetic and physical maps of all 5 chromosomes • A large number of mutant lines and genomic resources is available - Mutants are available in nearly every gene • Genetic transformation is simple using Agrobacterium tumefaciens • Extensive databases for gene expression analyses, multinational projects, etc. From the website of Dr. Simon Gilroy (University of Wisconsin at Madison) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_popout&v=oMCvGrKyTWI

Strickland Youth Center
I work with incarcerated youth and help teach them academic skills they will need in life. So far, this job has been a challenging, yet potentially rewarding experience.
I work with incarcerated youth and help teach them academic skills they will need in life. So far, this job has been a challenging, yet potentially rewarding experience.
I work with international students and help them English related to job finding and other life skills. My students' ability levels range from beginner to advanced. I like teaching ESL, because students always show up ready to learn, and we sometimes have a lot of fun.
Since graduating, I've worked as a substitute teacher at various Mobile County Public School System schools. I feel like working at these schools has given me more realistic expectations of the students as well as providing feedback on what to do and what not to do in the classroom to promote student learning. I feel like I've gleaned a lot of good ideas that will help me with secondary school classroom management.
Middle school students do not like to be bored. When I subbed at a certain school, I turned the regular teacher's PowerPoint presentation into a game complete with prizes to help break the monotony they would have otherwise experienced. Class ran smoothly, and the class was engaged in the lesson, for the most part.
Student Teaching--Murphy High School
I student taught a class of Murphy High School seniors. During student teaching, I had to successfully write and execute my own lesson plans. It was challenging since this was a group of seniors ready to graduate. I used a lot of what I learned in my teacher preparation classes and gained a lot of valuable teaching experience.
Favorite Lesson:
When introducing students to the Restoration Period, I stumbled upon a great series that taught about history using songs and humor. I played one of the videos to introduce the students to one of the major figures they would be learning about. The students really enjoyed it. The introduction really broke some of the monotony.
I worked with middle school students and high school students. I tutored various subjects.
Although I'm certified in English / Language Arts, I can function in a variety of different capacities. I've even tutored middle and high school students in math. I have the ability to think outside of the box and apply other strategies to my subjects.
Tutoring has also made me comfortable working one-on-one with students and assessing individual needs. In my classroom, I will need to differentiate instruction, and I feel that tutoring has given me the insight necessary to do that.
I also worked briefly as a volunteer in the University of South Alabama's ESL department as a conversation partner. I helped English Language Learners by providing topics and speaking advice, and I helped students with their homework.
Working with ESL students has given me a better idea of what it takes to successfully communicate with all students. As a regular teacher, I should be able to draw on my experiences tutoring to help differentiate instruction and provide support for ELLs.
Although I have not yet received my master's degree, I feel that a degree in Teaching English as a Second Language will help me better meet the needs of both national and international students as the techniques taught are designed to help teach students who are limited in reading or speaking English. I also feel like having training for ESL students will aid me in more effectively differentiating instruction to meet the needs of students with various learning styles.
I have tutoring and teaching experience, as well as authentic experience teaching and practicing classroom control. I also have interests and hobbies that make me excited about teaching, and I want to try out some of my ideas.
My interests include writing, learning, teaching, cooking, art, and reading, especially teaching and writing.
I'm especially fond of teaching and writing, though. Writing is one of my favorite parts of being an English teacher, and I'm certainly willing to show my enthusiasm for it by incorporating it into any relevant activity. I find that creative writing exercises can be used to break the monotony and help students learn a variety of different topics, from literary devices to grammar. My favorite writing trick is the story method of memorizing, whereby items to be memorized are linked via a fantastic story.
My objective is to gain more experience as a tutor, temporary teacher, or permanent teacher.
I have a class A teaching certification for ESL Teaching, and I have a class B teaching certification for English / Language Arts and Secondary Education.
Computers--I'm pretty good with using computers
Spanish--I can speak a little, but I'm not fluent.

The countdown is on to the 2016 RC44 World Championship Marina de Sotogrande and with less than a week to go, defending Champion Vladimir Prosikhin and his crew onboard Team Nika will undoubtedly be eyeing-up the 11-strong fleet in competition for their title.
Third place in both the match and fleet racing at the RC44 Bermuda Cup in March was a respectable start to the season for Prosikhin, as the team found their feet with two new crew members onboard. However, with Bronenosec Sailing Team on red hot form on the one hand, and Team Aqua gunning for the only title they have never won on the other, Team Nika will have to up their game next week if they want to stay ahead in what promises to be one of the hardest fought World Championship events to date.
The dominant force in the fleet after winning the Bermuda Cup in March, Team Aqua enter this years World Championship as favourites, with the iconic golden steering wheels on deck. But, despite an impressive track record after nine years in the Class, five fleet racing series titles and three match racing series titles, the RC44 World Championship crown has always eluded them. A fortune tactician Cameron Appleton will be looking to change this year.
"Expectations to win this event are normal within our program, all teams yearly goals are based around the worlds. But for sure if you try too hard or want something to badly you will make mistakes and forget about the basics of what makes an event successful. One thing about this class, you can't make mistakes the fleet is just too good, " commented Appleton.
New to the fleet in Sotogrande is the all Russian crew of BlackWater and, after a short absence at the beginning of the year, Nico Poons' team Charisma returns to the fleet with American John Kostecki calling tactics and French team Aleph Racing comes back with Kiwi Olympic sailor Hamish Pepper onboard as tactician.
Next week will also be a big one for local heroes Peninsula Petroleum Sailing Team. Racing on the beautiful home waters of San Roque owner John Bassadone will be hoping good fortunes and the dependable westerly Poniente breeze will be blowing in his favour as he takes on the fleet.
"'It's fantastic to sail in familiar waters so close to where I live in Gibraltar. To have this regatta as the world championship makes its additionally special. I am looking forward to seeing our friends and fellow competitors and hope we get good wind and everyone has great fun," explained Bassadone.
Racing kicks off on Wednesday 11th May with a day of match racing followed by four days of fleet racing for the RC44 World Championship Marina de Sotogrande crown and with every team capable of not only winning races but regattas; the RC44 Sotogrande Cup is not to be missed.
