IV. Fraudulent Transfers and Voidable Transactions
– Vendorpass, Inc. v. Texo Solutions, L.L.C., 2017 WL 444303 (N.J.Super. Ct. 2017) – A secured party that received payment from the debtor after the debtor had received funds from a related entity had no liability to a creditor of the related entity. There was no basis for a claim of constructive trust because the secured party was not unjustly enriched by the repayment of a debt. Even if the transfer of funds to the debtor was a constructive or intentionally fraudulent transfer, the secured party was a good faith subsequent transferee that gave value, and hence had a valid defense. Moreover, the secured party took free as a transferee of money.
– United States Small Business Administration v. Bensal, _ F.3d _ (9th Cir. 2017) – The Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act has a fraudulent transfer provision. That provision authorizes the federal government to void a "fraudulent transfer" by a debtor owing a debt to the United States. The Act preempts a state law that allows a debtor to disclaim an inheritance and thereby place the property to be inherited beyond the reach of the government.
– Nautilus, Inc. v. Yang, _ Cal.App.4th _ (2017) – The Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the predecessor to the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act) allows a transferee to avoid liability if it can establish that it acted in good faith. The court held that the good faith defense is not available if the transferee had fraudulent intent, colluded with a person who was engaged in the fraudulent conveyance, actively participated in the fraudulent conveyance, or had actual knowledge of facts showing its knowledge of the transferor's fraudulent intent. The court emphasized that the transferee was not subject to inquiry notice of facts that would have given it knowledge of the fraudulent intent. The court also held that the transferee has the burden of proof in establishing its good faith.
– McDonald v. Nixon Energy Solutions, 2017 WL 1836937 (D.S.C. 2017) – The supplier of a generator to a biogas facility had no fraudulent conveyance claim against the owner's secured party for receiving payment of a federal grant to the owner, even though the secured party perfected its security interest after the supplier filed a notice of its mechanic's lien and the secured party never complied with the Federal Assignment of Claims Act. The secured party did have a security interest in the owner's general intangibles, which included the right to payment of the federal grant, and there was no evidence that the owner was insolvent when the security interest was transferred. The supplier also had no claim for tortious interference with contract against the secured party because the secured party was justified in receiving the payment.
– Janice M. Hinrichsen, Inc. v. Messersmith Ventures, L.L.C., 895 N.W.2d 683 (Neb. 2017) – The trial court did not err in concluding that the transaction by which an insurance agency with a $98,000 judgment against it sold for $250 to an entity newly formed by the agency's owner the agency's customer list was a fraudulent transfer for less than reasonably equivalent value. However, the trial court did err in awarding judgment for only $250. Although the plaintiff did not prove the value of the customer list, the proper remedy for a fraudulent transfer is to avoid the transfer, so the plaintiff should have been permitted to levy on the asset transferred or its proceeds.*
– Georgia Commercial Stores, Inc. v. Forsman, 803 S.E.2d 805 (Ga. Ct. App. 2017) – An unsecured creditor of an insolvent LLC stated claims for breach of fiduciary duty and intentionally fraudulent transfer against the LLC's president for causing the LLC to repay a $239,000 debt to the president. Just as the officers and directors of an insolvent corporation owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation's creditors, so too do the managing members of an insolvent LLC. Although the LLC's assets were fully encumbered and the payment was made with the secured creditor's approval, those facts alone did not demonstrate that the unsecured creditor was uninjured by the transfer; the claim of a creditor that diligently pursues collection are not reduced or defeated by the hypothetical claims of other creditors who have slept on their rights.
– Duncan v. Asset Recovery Specialists, Inc., 2017 WL 2870520 (W.D. Wis. 2017), appeal filed, (7th Cir. Aug. 8, 2017) – Although the debtor did not have a claim under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act against either the secured party or the repossession agent based on her mistaken belief that the repossession agent sought to charge her $100 to return property within the repossessed car, the debtor might have a conversion claim.
– Impala Platinum Holdings Limited v. A-1 Specialized Services and Supplies, Inc., 2017 WL 2840352 (E.D. Pa. 2017) – Pursuant to the Uniform Contribution Among Tortfeasors Act, the defendant who the jury determined was 59% responsible for the $16 million verdict in a fraudulent transfer action was not entitled to any reduction for the amount paid by the defendants who settled during the trial because the settlement agreement provided that any judgment against other tortfeasors would be reduced by the pro rata share of liability the jury apportioned to the settling defendants. Thus, the defendant remained liable for 59% of $16 million, even though that amount plus the settlement amount exceeded $20 million.
– Stoltenberg v. Sheppard, Mullin, Richter, & Hampton, LLP, 2017 WL 2644646 (Cal. Ct. App. 2017) – A law firm that acquired a security interest in a client's artwork and cooperative apartments to secure the payment of the firm's fees did not thereby receive a fraudulent transfer. Although the security interest attached after an $8.5 million judgment was entered against its client, it initially appeared that the client had sufficient assets to pay the firm's fees and at least a portion of the judgment and the judgment creditor's counsel had agreed that the client could use the art to pay attorney fees. The transfer was not constructively fraudulent because even if the collateral was worth substantially more than the amount of the fees, the firm's lien was limited to the amount of the fees.*
– Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. v. Bacjet, LLC, 221 So. 3d 671 (Fla. Ct. App. 2017) – A secured party located in Oklahoma and that did not lend to Florida residents was nevertheless subject to personal jurisdiction in Florida with respect to a judgment creditor's fraudulent transfer action against the secured party with respect to the transaction by which the secured party acquired a security interest in the judgment debtor's accounts, stock certificates, and Florida homestead.
– Mizrahi v. Checkolite International, Inc., 2017 WL 111919 (D.N.J. 2017) – An unsecured creditor of a corporation stated a cause of action for violation of the New Jersey Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act against the corporation's secured lender and the buyer of the corporation's assets at a disposition by the secured lender. The unsecured creditor alleged that the buyer, which employed the debtor's principal owner, and the secured lender conspired to prevent payment to the unsecured creditor.
– Meoli v. Huntington National Bank, 848 F.3d 716 (6th Cir. 2017) – Because a bank's investigator discovered the fraudulent past of the operator of a Ponzi scheme, whose company was a depositor and borrower of the bank, but failed to share that discovery with the bank's manager who oversaw the company's account, the bank failed to demonstrate that it acted in good faith with respect to loan payments it received after that date. With respect to earlier indirect transfers, the bank did not necessarily have knowledge of the voidability of those transfers merely because it had acquired inquiry notice of the fraud; it depends on what a reasonable investigation would have disclosed. Moreover, the bank was not a "transferee" with respect to deposits received into the depositor's account from a related entity that participated in the scheme because the bank has no dominion or control over ordinary deposits that the customer could withdraw, even though the bank had a security interest in the deposits.
– In re Cornerstone Homes, Inc., 567 B.R. 37 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2017) – The debtor's bankruptcy trustee stated a cause of action for actual and constructive fraudulent transfers against the banks for making loans that enabled the debtor to operate a Ponzi scheme. The complaint adequately pled fraudulent intent of the transferor by alleging that the loans were used to create the illusion of profitability, to pay off individual investor loans, to solicit individuals to make unsecured investments, and to perpetuate the alleged Ponzi scheme. The complaint adequately pled fraudulent intent of the banks by alleging that, at the time the loans were made, the banks knew or should have known that the debtor was insolvent based on the debtor's audited financial statements and tax returns, which the banks had. The trustee also adequately pled claims for constructive fraud by alleging that the banks lacked good faith for the same reasons.
-In re International Management Associates, LLC, 563 B.R. 393 (Bankr. N.D. Ga. 2017) – Although all transfers in furtherance of a Ponzi scheme are presumed to have been made with fraudulent intent, to be "in furtherance of" the scheme and subject to the presumption, a transfer must be one that directly and materially induces future investors. Therefore, the debtor's transfer of funds to a brokerage to open an account was not in furtherance of the debtor's Ponzi scheme. The transfer was for contemporaneous and equivalent value to a third party who was neither an investor nor participant in the scheme. Even if the presumption did apply, the brokerage acted in good faith. While an insider might be subject to an objective standard of good faith – and therefore properly be charged with knowledge of the facts that an inquiry in response to red flags would have disclosed – an unaffiliated third party in an arm's-length transaction is subject only to a subjective standard of good faith, and lacks good faith only if it has actual knowledge of the insolvency of the debtor or the existence of a Ponzi scheme.
The fact that the account was opened in the name of the debtor entity and funded with the entity's assets, rather than in the name of the entity's owner does not suggest bad faith, even if that somehow violated regulatory requirements or the brokerage's internal policies. The fact that two of the debtor's checks to the brokerage were dishonored and funds were then sent by wire might indicate financial difficulties, inadequate capital or liquidity, or insolvency, but does not give rise to an inference of dishonesty of lack of integrity. Finally, the fact that the debtor traded on margins, incurred substantial losses, and the brokerage did not investigate further, as industry standards might require, would be relevant only if good faith were an objective test; it does not suggest that the brokerage lacked honesty or remained willfully ignorant of facts that would give rise to a belief that the debtor was operating a Ponzi scheme.
– In re Comprehensive Power, Inc., 2017 WL 6327192 (Bankr. D. Mass. 2017) – The trustee stated a claim that the secured party's purchase of the debtor's assets at a public disposition was intentionally fraudulent by alleging that the secured party engaged in a "loan to own" strategy and because it assumed effective control of the debtor prior to the sale, its intent could be imputed to the debtor. The trustee also stated a claim that the transfer was constructively fraudulent by claiming that the value of the assets was substantially greater than the amount the secured party's credit bid, which was the only bid.
– Ehrlich v. Commercial Factors of Atlanta, 567 B.R. 684 (N.D.N.Y. 2017) – The allegations of the debtor's bankruptcy trustee that the debtor provided false invoices to its factor to obtain new loans, and used those funds to pay down the debt to the factor, did not state a claim against the factor for avoidance of a fraudulent transfer. The factor had a perfected security interest in all of the debtor's assets, and thus the transfers could not have harmed other creditors.
– In re Caribbean Fuels America, Inc., 688 F. App'x 890 (11th Cir. 2017) – In ascertaining the value of what the debtor received in exchange for an allegedly constructively fraudulent transfer, the objective value of the property is what matters, not whether the debtor benefitted from it. Accordingly, because the trustee did not challenge the objective value of the leasehold that the debtor received in return for the rent paid for a house used as a residence and office by the debtor's principals, the payments were not avoidable.
– Development Specialists, Inc. v. Kaplan, 574 B.R. 1 (D. Me. 2017), appeal filed, (1st Cir. May 17, 2017) – The bankruptcy court did not err in concluding that reasonably equivalent value was received by corporations that signed promissory notes and granted a security interest in their assets to secure a loan used to pay the corporations' shareholders for their stock, which was transferred to the corporations' new parent. The shareholder gave reasonably equivalent value and although the bankruptcy court failed to focus on what each of the corporations received, the court did find synergy and indirect benefits in the transaction.
– In re Fah Liquidating Corp., 572 B.R. 117 (Bankr. D. Del. 2017) – The debtor's prepetition transfers of $31.5 million to a German company could not be avoided as constructive fraudulent transfers under § 548(a)(1)(B) because, even though the transfers originated in the United States from a Delaware corporation, they were made pursuant to contracts that included milestones to be achieved at production facilities in Germany, required disputes to be resolved in Munich, chose German law to govern, and required payment in Euros, and thus the transfers were made extraterritorially.
– In re East Coast Foods, Inc., 2017 WL 3701211 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 2017) – The recipient of an avoidable fraudulent transfer has no claim for the consideration provided if the recipient did not act in good faith.
– In re Trinity 83 Development, LLC, 574 B.R. 136 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2017) – The re-recording thirteen months before the petition of a mortgage for which a satisfaction had erroneously been recorded did not result in a new "transfer" that could be avoided under § 548.
– PGA West Residential Association, Inc. v. Hulven International, Inc., _ Cal.App.4th _ (2017) – An individual sought to shield his real property from the claims of his creditors by creating a sham corporation and then giving the sham corporation a sham note and sham deed of trust. The plan was for the sham entity to foreclose on the real property. A creditor of the individual brought an action to invalidate the deed of trust. In a reversal of roles, the creditor argued that a "transfer" — and therefore a fraudulent transfer") had not taken place because everything was a sham and the "transferee" argued that a fraudulent transfer had taken place. The reason for this reversal is that the applicable statute of repose had lapsed and with it the substantive claim had been "extinguished." Although the complaint did not allege a fraudulent transfer in those words, the court ruled that the "gravamen" of the claim was a fraudulent transfer and ruled for the "transferee."
– Slone v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, _ F.3d _ (9th Cir. 2018) – Shareholder of transferor received a fraudulent transfer in a tax avoidance transaction.

I think Daniel Amartey went down too easily for the penalty - Asmoah Gyan
Ghana's all time record goal scorer Asamoah Gyan aka Baby Jet has waded into the controversial penalty call against South Africa that has seen Ghana book a place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers play offs.
Ghana defeated the Bafana Bafana of South Africa by a lone goal to secure the only slot in group G for the play offs of the 2022 World Cup.
Many South Africans are livid with the award of the spot kick with some insinuating that the game was a fixed match and have started an online petition urging FIFA for a replay and investigating the Senegalese referee.
Ghana had a penalty after Daniel Amartey went to ground in the penalty box following a challenge from Rushine De Reuck although it appeared soft there was a nudge in the back of the Leicester City defender.
The Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette who was standing just a few meters outside the penalty box swiftly awarded the penalty without any second thought.
Captaian Andre Ayew expertly converted the penalty to hand Ghana the only goal of the game as the Black Stars qualified at the expense of South Africa.
But Ghana's most capped player believes that Liecester City defender Daniel Amartey went down too easily for the penalty but will not begrudge the referee since he was much closer to the action.
"I think the incident was a bit casual. From where I sit and how I saw it I think Daniel Amartey went down too easily but the referee was closer to the spot and probably had a better view of the situation. Remember was the tempo of the game also could have influenced the referee's decision to award the spot-kick," Gyan said in an interview with Asempa FM.
The South African FA who have been incensed by the penalty decision have since lodged a protest with FIFA with a verdict on the protest expected in the coming days.

It is hard to predict what terrorist expect to achieve with their actions. Power? Wealth? Attention? Some researchers state that terrorism cannot be overcome without media, which makes an impact on terrorism. Usually terrorist acts are considered to be ineffective if they are not discussed live. Therefore, one can judge that terrorist attacks are in clear interdependence with the mass media.
Modern world experience numerous terrorist attacks every day. This sample essay focuses on the reasons and roots of terrorism, interdependence between free medial and terrorism, as well as predicts possible outcomes of terroristic acts. Moreover, the paper presents actions on what should be done to eliminate terrorism. If you think that writing an essay on terrorism is too complex for you as it requires conducting research, do not hesitate to order a customized essay from us and our writer will deliver perfectly written paper to you within the given time frame.
Social media plays a huge role in the rise of terrorism as free media usually highlights all terrorist actions irrespective of the traumatic symptom and psychological consequences that victims may experience. Terrorism is much publicized by free media in comparison with those countries that have only state-controlled media. Therefore, if terrorists want to reach maximum results, they will definitely resort to free media that will discuss all details of terroristic attacks. In such a way, terrorists desire to spread fear among citizens and become famous due to their fatal actions. Examples of such terrorist attacks are numerous, from 9/11 till smaller attacks that usually happen in remote regions. However, consequences of such attacks are usually the same – people fear that their life may unexpectedly come to an end, whereas the living conditions will be poor and never restored.
During times when free media has become so popular today, it is of the primary importance for governments to effectively deal with strategic planning when eradicating terrorism. After 9/11 attack in the US, state decided to increase the expenses with the aim of terrorism prevention. Apart from the terrorist attacks in the US with numerous victims, researchers state that Muslim terrorist kill approximately 200-300 people per year, but it is hard to define the exact amount as simple people are killed every day in developing countries, whereas nobody really cares about their number and consequences. Moreover, some researchers state that although terrorist acts happen from time to time, the number of victims is not enough to state that there is any kind of havoc in contemporary world. If to compare, more people die annually in the bathtubs in the US than die from the terrorism. However, due to the increased efforts related to the fight in airports has lead to refusing and canceling tickets as people would rather go by bus than fly and save their time and nerves. Nevertheless, it cases a number of car accidents as people are often in a rush as driving to certain destinations takes much more time than flying.
Many Americans state that terrorism is usually depicted in exaggerated manner and there are not so many terroristic attacks that should cause the heightened security measures in all spheres since they cause much inconvenience and disturbance for the ordinary citizens. It is the fact that people do not know about all terrorism plots that could have killed thousands of people as they are detected on the stage of planning. Since they are not reported in the social media, people are not aware of all those cases when agents save people's lives due to the increased security measures. Moreover, not everybody perceives terrorism seriously. Some airports still utilize poor quality body scanners that do not reflect appropriate results. However, still one can see development and improvement of the security sector that goes to great lengths to effectively fight with terrorism, at all costs.
Some airports prefer full body scanners that are not appropriate for the fight with terrorism. Terrorists know how they work and do not experience any challenges to trick airport security. Moreover, usually terrorist follow different strategies in their actions. For example, a terrorist gets into the plane with the liquid explosive substance in the shoe. However, then security members concentrate on passengers' shoes, but the plot might be totally changed in future. With modern attacks, airport security must go hand in hand with all possible terroristic plans to make sure that people's lives are not exposed to fatal risks. Modern warfare is hard to characterize, but governments must perceive terrorism from a completely different perspective. Some people claim that it is better to spend those millions of dollars on common people who die from the cancer or other dreadful illnesses. Those words also have some sense, but all people should have right to freely enter airport buildings, not being subjected to the death. Nevertheless, the aspect of how to eradicate terrorism is controversial and governments will rarely come to a conclusion that will comply with people's expectations.
When terrorist threats are treated with clever moves, terrorism can be "extracted" from modern society. Nowadays it will be enough to introduce effective security measure in all airports and other public places, which would not cost much. Moreover, there must be certain governmental programs on terrorism prevention that will predict possible terroristic threats, but not measure their outcomes and the number of the deceased.

A: based on the doc found here : https://ezsql.github.io/ezSQL/ez_sql_help.htm
the method $db->get_row() retreives only one row from the database. to get all the rows, you need to use $db->get_results() instead
Then, you have to loop on the results using a foreach loop as shown on the example from the doc :
$users = $db->get_results("SELECT name, email FROM users");

foreach ( $users as $user )
{
            // Access data using object syntax
            echo $user->name;
            echo $user->email;
}

A: Solved!!!
went with CROZET's sugestion and added a $count var to ease the html repetion.
thank you.

I hope everyone of you had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend filled with lots of great family and great friends! I did have a great time myself, lots of yummy food and lots of laughter and fun!
We finally have winter here, I don't think it's gotten above 30 degree's all week, and Saturday it just lightly snowed all day.
I already bought myself a Christmas present, so excited. Season tickets to Tuacahn, wish if you aren't familiar with it, it's Broadway in the desert down in St. George, UT. The plays there rivial those you would see on Broadway in New York, seriously! Next years plays are Peter Pan, Disney's Tarzan and Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame and I will be seeing them all! Totally excited. YAY, me!
I did have a wedding over the holiday weekend, it went well. Oh, and I was reminded quickly how much I don't particularly like pulling a trailer on icy roads. I had a scary 50 feet sliding down a hill, fortunately I have been pulling a trailer for years and with a great truck I was able to correct things before sliding through a red light into traffic.
But even so, I still dislike pulling a trailer on black ice roads. Everything went great at the wedding, but towards the end I had a little accident of sorts (not with the trailer, thankfully).
Saturday while I was taking down the wedding. The pain kept getting more and more intense and to the point that I could no longer use my back.
It's so bad, I can barely move around much right now. In fact I had difficulty lifting the milk out of the fridge and pour it in my cereal bowl. I also can barely take the pain from pushing my muscles to stand up straight, so ya I am an embarrassing leaning person walking around. I am sure I look like a leaning 90 year old as I walk.
I won't see a Chiro, I will wait for a Specialist. I had a few bad experiences many years ago with dishonest Chiro's, and I don't trust them for anything. I have a few close friends who have been injured worse by them too. Plus, I have had many doctors and specialists tell me not to take the risk of seeing one. So despite that I do know some do say they find help with them. I refuse to see one myself. So if your wondering why I haven't ran down to a nearby office of one of them today, that is why. All that, and even though I am no doctor I am pretty sure things are aligned, this is something else.
Sleeping on my side, taking good drugs is pretty much the only thing that keeps the pain to a minimum. I cannot be on my back or stomach at all and I can only sit or stand for short periods of time.
It doesn't help the fact that of course I would come down with a flu bug as well this weekend. Which is why I attribute the fact that I slept in until 1pm today, and seriously could go right back to bed and not blink an eye right now. In fact, I just might!
I am hoping this is one of those 72 hour things and tomorrow I will wake up flu free again, wishful thinking never hurts anyone!
I meant to take last week of blogging for the most part, and just enjoy a little break. I did, not mean for it to have to extend beyond that. But due to current circumstances, I may have to drop post frequency down this week a little. We will see what happens. But I wanted to let you all know what is going on, and why I might not be around quite as much this week.
There are still MANY awesome giveaways going on right now. On my sidebar, you will see a link to the Holiday Giveaway Hop going on right now, click on it and take some time today to enter to win some awesome prizes!
So tell me, did you have a great Thanksgiving?
Do you buy yourself a big present each year like I do? If so, what are you buying yourself?
Oh no so sorry to hear that your back is hurting you so much again! I hope you get it figured out when you see the DR. We still are enjoying warmish temps in the 50's but I know it's coming soon. Feel better friend! Yes those giveaways are still going strong it's very nice!
Sorry to hear about your back pain, and that you've had bad experiences in the past with chiropractors. I honestly don't know what I'd do without seeing mine on a regular basis. I'll be thinking about you and hoping that you're able to find better pain relief soon.
Season tickets to Tuacahn sounds like a great present to yourself! My present to myself was my new running Garmin 230 watch. Sorry to hear about your back. I hope you will feel better soon.
I hope you feel better soon! That is a double whammy and does not sound good! The tickets to the play sound very nice, I splurged and bought a new vacuum on Friday yup, that makes a girl all warm and fuzzy! :) the giveaway hop is still going strong! Rest up!
Yuck, I'm sorry you're sick on top of the back pain :( It seems like a bad time of year and a lot of people are getting sick. That Christmas present you got for yourself sounds great!
What? I'm so sorry to hear about your back and the flu bug! I'm wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and gave yourself that awesome gift.
Thanks! Nice, 50's sound fabulous right now, enjoy them while you have them!!!
I know so many people have had help from them, and great experiences. I just had a few too many bad ones, one of which totally lied to me and showed me someone elses x-rays trying to tell me they were my own to get me into thinking I was going to die in 3-6 years if I didn't begin getting help from him immediately, not even kidding... The jokes on him, I'm still alive, LOL I am glad you have found a great one that does help you!!!
Awesome, I have a Garmin too, just a different model, Hope you will love yours they really are great!
Nice, a vacuum, hey there are some nice ones out on the market I could totally see how getting a new one would be a fun deal!
Thanks MB! Ya the giveaway hop is still going pretty good, I think the timing on this one was perfect!
Thanks Chaitali, your right tis the season to catch a cold or the flu.. unfortunately huh!
Thanks HoHo! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!!!
That sounds like a scary experience with the trailer on ice! Glad it didn't end up bad.
I bought myself another Jawbone up24. I'd been wanting an updated one, so this will be perfect! I hope you can get to a specialist soon and start feeling better!
I'm so sorry to hear about your pain as well as the sickness! Total bummer to have all that over Thanksgiving weekend :( Hope you are feeling better this week!
Glad to hear you treated yourself to a holiday gift! I think it's important to do things for yourself that make you happy throughout the year. I bought myself a Vera Bradley bag on Black Friday as a little treat. It's the perfect thing to bring with me to San Antonio this weekend!
Oh no!! So sorry to hear that you are having back pain! I hope you can get in with a specialist asap and get that figured out!! Awesome gift to yourself. I love going to the theater although I very rarely get to do it, but so much fun when I do!
Kristy, I'm so sorry to hear about your back injury :( I hope you're able to get some relief soon. We just saw Disney's Beauty and the Beast at our Broadway in Portland, which sounds similar to what you're doing. It's exciting to see stage productions!
Oh I am so jealous I would love a GoPro. Have fun with it, I hear so many great things about them!!!
Ya, I was okay until I was about 20 feet in from another truck and realizing I had no traction and I just had to hope I came to a stop. It was a reality check, I am usually a much better driver I should have tested the brakes long before I did. Lesson learned, but thankfully all is good! I might be driving it again in the Storm Friday if it its, so I have no intention of letting a repeat experience happen!
Have fun with your new Jawbone! I love my Fitbit, but it hasn't had much use lately, sadly!
Thanks Sun! I was thinking about you the other day wondering how you did on your races, I haven't been online much but definittely on my way over in a min to see if you've posted about it.
I know, I love the theatre too, but rarely go so this will be a fun treat this year!
Oh how fun, I saw Disney's Beauty and the Beast at Tuacahn years ago and loved it, such a great play!!!!
I know seriously, right! Thanks though, ya I've been through the ringer, just as I finished the flu, I caught a bad chest cold and I didn't even have the energy to write a post earlier this week, terrible I know.
So jealous you are out and traveling around! I am seriously in need of a trip I wish I could hop into an RV and head south and soak in a few rays right now!
I have not heard of Osteopathis Physician, I may have to look into it. Truthfully, and I know every doctor would cringe at me saying this. But I went online and did some tests that they say to do, and not only do I fit the description of a herniated disk, each of the tests they say you do to see, I passed, or failed... In other words, it does look like that may be it. I'm just slightly worried I may have more than one, as I have 2 spots that are highly painful. But I'm not going to jump to any concusions, I already know I have a budging disc in the area from a previous accident 15 years ago and it's also highly likely it could be that too... I will be making a Dr. Appt soon, I just need to make some phone calls;) But I will look into the Osteopathic Physician idea! Thanks!!!

Return to a balanced budget on a "responsible timeframe" within the first term

Ford government's first budget cuts deficit to $11.7 billion, Ontario books won't be balanced for five years
The Globe and Mail April 11, 2019
Despite promises from Mr. Ford during the 2018 election campaign to balance the books, the province now says it won't be in the black for five years – only one year earlier than the previous Liberal government projected in its 2018 budget.
Ontario will be back to balance in 3rd or 4th year of Ford mandate, promises MPP Lisa MacLeod
Global News June 10, 2018
Asked when the province would be brought back to budgetary balance, [MPP Lisa MacLeod] replied that her party would aim to do it the third or fourth year of its mandate.
Although the use of a "responsible timeframe" leaves some open for interpretation (what does "responsible" exactly mean in this context anyway?), given these two sources (Ford and MacLeod), I think it's fair to consider this promise is to return to balance by year 3 or 4.
Doug Ford says they would run deficits for the first two or three years
Canadian Press May 31, 2018
[Doug Ford] also says a Tory government would run deficits for the first two or three years, but the plan also doesn't spell out the size of those deficits or a path to balance.
Doug Ford promises to cut gas prices by 10 cents a litre
The Toronto Star May 16, 2018
"We are going to wipe out the deficit the first year, maybe the second …. We will balance the budget in our term," he said.
While Ford is moving the goalposts in the same sentence, it seems this was corrected not much later in the campaign to year 3 or 4. In this context, and from comments made later in the campaign, I think we can take the timeline as "the term" here, rather than year one or two.
