The Contemporary Fortepiano by the Rembrandt Frerichs Trio is truly an outstanding example of what new jazz recordings can bring to the already well-stocked table. The most impressive element that stands out immediately is the use of textures and timbres to make a jazz-fusion album that is designed for the connoisseur of acoustic music. Rich woody flavors emerge with Frerichs' fortepiano and harmonium, and the violone (a precursor to the modern double-bass) played by Tony Overwater, along with Vinsent Planjer's deft use of an array of unique percussion instruments, such as the African log drum. While familiar jazz chord progressions and classic riffs come through, this stellar recording highlights the extraordinary tones that each of these instruments exude. The very earthy dulcimer-like sounds that Frerichs elicits, along with the multidimensional and lush percussion, mediated by the extraordinarily natural-sounding acoustic bass allows moments in the album to drift from a more straightforward jazz dynamic into the realms of New Age and even Arab tarab-style music. Planjer's rain-like beats, one the one hand, have the effect of a Zen garden in certain moments – particularly in the opening tracks of the album. In later tracks, on the other hand, chiseled melody lines draw from the Eastern Mediterranean, and in the 12th track Hak en Tak, influences from the Western Sahara region of Africa reveal themselves. The album is tightly woven and organic throughout—though to be fair it is the acoustic temperament that helps the personalities of the trio come to the surface in each of the individual experiments that comprise the albums tracks. That said, the album reserves its least conventional moments for the last few tracks of the album. This has the effect of pushing the listener to listen even more carefully as the album reaches its conclusions. The opposite of glossy and artificial "elevator jazz," the musicians push their instruments to the edge of the musical cliff and have a look down without stumbling into an anarchic mess at any point.
When I hear a tune played by Bill Evans, his playing grabs my attention immediately. This is for several reasons. First, since I'm no more than an amateur pianist and composer, I marvel at his musicality, dexterity, and innovative style. Wherever he travels on the keyboard, he makes statements of emotion, beauty and grace. For me, though, he is simultaneously an inspiration and a frustration, because though I so enjoy his music, I wonder why I even try to play piano, knowing such talent exists. Of course, we should be grateful he inspired other true talents, like Liz Story, a wonderful pianist who after hearing him play while attending The Julliard, changed the focus of her music career to improvisation.
Choosing a DSD album of Bill Evans was, then, a simple one. "Some Other Time – The Lost Session from the Black Forest" intrigued me because the album had been creating a bit of a stir amongst fans as a heretofore unreleased album, discovered only recently. Add to that the fact that the band members are peerless—Jack DeJohnette on drums and Eddie Gomez on bass, a worthy heir to Scott LaFaro in many respects—and it seemed like an obligation to own this album.
As you might imagine, the music and playing of these legendary jazz artists does not disappoint. There is a synergy within the trio that implies studious rehearsing was probably unnecessary, though that is always the startling thing about musicians of this caliber. Tracks such as "What Kind of Fool Am I?" (for which there are two versions included) and "These Foolish Things" strike the heart with full force and remind one of what a musical genius Evans truly was. The album's namesake, "Some Other Time," is guaranteed to melt you.
Sonically, the DSD presentation is as one might expect with an inviting smoothness and spaciousness. Though I will say that without knowing how this newly-discovered recording was mastered or captured at the time in 1968, it seems a little unbalanced with the piano on the left being a little more forward than in most of Bill Evans' catalog of famous recordings. This is not a criticism per se, just a quibble. For anyone who loves the inventive, emotional jazz interpretations of Bill Evans, this album is a must.
For over a decade, he has been all over the place. A 2004 piece on "60 Minutes" called him "The Wild Man of Music: Valery Gergiev Known as the World's Busiest Maestro." His flamboyant style rivals that of Karajan or Bernstein with a personality to match. As a major "go to" interpreter of the Russian repertory he is in demand all over the world.
While there have been assertions that he is spread too thin, many of his recordings (like a particularly savage "Rite of Spring") are some of the top choices of critics. And as if his schedule were not already full enough, his close ties to St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theater have produced many DVD videos and launched its own record label.
Lately Gergiev has developed an association with the London Symphony Orchestra producing highly acclaimed sets of the complete Mahler and Prokofiev symphonies. And now Native DSD has added three other recordings of his to its catalog and any of them would be worthy additions to your collection.
Prokofiev's music to the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" is one of his finest compositions. Gergiev and the LSO gives it to us complete – every last note. It could be argued that we don't really need all of it. Not the borrowing from his other works, not the repetitions of thematic material from previous scenes, or not the music to simply send the dancers off into the wings. However, even these incidentals are beautifully written and these days programming your own suite of favorites is a cinch. The performance is idiomatic and superbly played, so much so that it was voted the winner of the Orchestral category and the Disc of the Year for the 2011 BBC Music Magazine Awards.
The icing on this musical cake is a terrific engineering job. The soundstage is deep and wide. Even when everybody is playing loud all at once, all the strands of the orchestral fabric are evident. Upper frequencies are especially lucid and easy on the ear.
The same goes for another Gergiev/LSO recording—the Rachmaninov "Symphonic Dances" and Stravinsky's "Symphony in Three Movements." In the Stravinsky Gergiev brings out all the spikey rhythms and pungent dissonances of this neo-classic gem while the "Dances" do just that. The tempo in the opening movement is on the slow, deliberate side, but the sweep of the rest of each of those grand Rachmaninoff gestures is given full expression.
As with the Prokofiev, the engineering is spectacular. The string foundation is full and solid, the soundstage is holographic, and the bass is tight, strong and never boomy. In fact, at several points the bass drum comes at you straight down the middle like a speeding semi and shakes whatever furniture you happen to be occupying. And with its bass drum thwacks and pinpoint location of every instrumental section, the Stravinsky is an especially good demo of your He-Man hi fi rig that throws an incredibly wide and deep soundstage. The fact that these are live recordings make this achievement even more impressive.
The third release with Gergiev at the helm is the Second Piano Concertos of both Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev. This time instead of the LSO he's leading his own Mariinsky Orchestra recorded on the label of the same name with soloist Dennis Matsuev. While Rachmaninoff's Second is one of the most recorded and famous of all his concertos, it is in the last several decades that the flashier and propulsive Third has gained on it a bit in both popularity and the number of recorded versions. In Prokofiev's case the same is true: the third being performed and recorded more often than its older sibling. Two does tend to meander and lacks the sharp focus of Three. Overall, however, it has a searching, mysterious quality contrasted with more exclamatory parts along the way that is quite attractive. And the percussive conclusion gives Bartok's piano concerti a run for their money.
Gergiev and his soloist capture the grand sweep and unique character of both concertos. Matsuev's fingers scurry effortlessly up and down the keyboard, especially at the beginning of the final movement. He has technique to burn and, especially in the softer, lyrical parts, he'll isolate a phrase here or there, weave it precisely with another, and then after a pause, come roaring back to deliver the goods. Even fistfuls of dissonance at huge climaxes are never muddy or congested. It's all clean and finely calculated without sounding sterile.
The soundstage is not as dramatically 3-D as in the LSO Live recordings. In fact, some have complained that this was recorded in the sonic equivalent of a phone booth. It is true that the recording puts the piano and the orchestra up close, but not claustrophobically so. Moreover, that position tends to illuminate details that might otherwise be missed in an acoustic that, while clearly not cathedral-like, is spacious enough to allow the music to breathe.

Toras Mikeitz – Chanukah – Thanksgiving
On November 29, 2013 December 22, 2013 By mitchmorgensternIn My LifeLeave a comment
This is a glorious day. A day on which we say Hallel on Thanksgiving. Today took care of one of my bucket items, not saying nin the morning prayers and reciting Hallel on Thanksgiving. I davened this morning at Anshei Sholem and Rabbi Wolkenfeld was the Chazzan. His Hallel was full of song and joy. Thanksgiving is a Jewish holiday. A time to stop and says thank you to God for the freedoms that we have here in America along with the entire country. Joe Aaron eulogized his father at a public service at Bnei Ruvein. He told the story of his father and his uncle, both holocaust survivors sitting around at Thanksgiving dinner, enjoying the freedoms of America and talking Yiddish accented English. I related to this in my own background, when my mother would make Thanksgiving dinner and we would all eat a festive meal including my Bubi and Zaidy.
TORAS MIKEITZ:
This week's Torah portion is Mikeitz. Mikeitz continues the story of Joseph in Egypt, his rise to power, the famine, and his brothers making the trip to Egypt to purchase food. Questions on the Sedrah include:
The extra two years that Joseph had to stay in prison, did anything come of it. How or was history changed
Chapter 40, Verse 23:
23.But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph,כג.וְלֹא זָכַר שַׂר הַמַּשְׁקִים אֶת יוֹסֵף וַיִּשְׁכָּחֵהוּ and he forgot him:
and he forgot him: afterwards. Because Joseph relied on him to remember him, he was compelled to be confined for two years, as it is said:"Praiseworthy is the man who made the Lord his trust and did not turn to the haughty (רְהָבִים)" (Ps. 40:5). He did not turn to the Egyptians, who are called רַהַב, haughty. [From Gen. Rabbah 89:3]Rashi on this Verse says:
"and he forgot him" – Because Joseph relied on him to remember him, he was compelled to be confined for two years etc.
The very next verse in Chapter 41, Verse 1 says:
א.וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ שְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים וּפַרְעֹה חֹלֵם וְהִנֵּה עֹמֵד עַל הַיְאֹר: .
It came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh was dreaming and behold; he was standing by the Nile.
2) Joseph comes across as the efficient bureaucrat, serving almost without mercy.
3) Joseph named his first born Manasseh, as it says in Chapter 41, verse 51. And Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, for "God has caused me to forget all my toil and all my father's house. The Torah says that Joseph forgot his father's house?
4) Why didn't Joseph phone home? It appears that Joseph made no attempt to contact his father.
How do we view Joseph and what is our understanding of Joseph? He was one of the founders of the Jewish nation (Shiftai Kah) so he knew the destiny of his family. Therefore, his actions were governed by his understanding of his mission, to create the nation of Israel founded on holiness, justice, and charity. He knew that his two dreams had to come true. He knew that one day the his father and family would come back to him.
On a character side, Joseph seemed to be very effective ruler and administrator. He was able to run a prison, oversee the massive effort during the years of plenty, and subsequent distribution of food and feed the entire nation of Egypt and the world, amass great wealth for Pharaoh. Joseph was the person who when he walked into a business meeting, read everyone, knew how to negotiate, and always got what he wanted. He was cold and calculating. This is in all likelihood due not only to his nature, but also to his being sold, being a prisoner, and rising to power in the blink of an eye, ahead of all of Pharaoh's advisors, which must have led to tremendous palace intrigue.
However, it seems that he governs without mercy. He sold food to Egyptians and when they ran out of money he purchased their land, and made them chattel of Pharaoh. He demanded that they circumcise themselves.
Chapter 41, verse 55 says:
נה וַתִּרְעַב כָּל-אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, וַיִּצְעַק הָעָם אֶל-פַּרְעֹה לַלָּחֶם; וַיֹּאמֶר פַּרְעֹה לְכָל-מִצְרַיִם לְכוּ אֶל-יוֹסֵף, אֲשֶׁר-יֹאמַר לָכֶם תַּעֲשׂוּ. 55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians: 'Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.'
Rashi's explanation based on the Midrash is shocking. Rashi says:
"When the entire land of Egypt hungered," – For their grain, which they had stored, had decay, except that of Joseph.
("what he tells you, do" – Since Joseph had ordered them to circumcise themselves, and when they came to Pharaoh and said "This is what he said to us, "He (Pharaoh) said to them "Why didn't you gather grain, didn't he announce to you that years of famine were coming?" They replied "we gather much but it rotted" He (Pharaoh) replied "If so, do whatever he tells you. He issued a decree upon the grain and it rotted. What if he issues a decree upon us and we die?
Wow! Why did the famine have to be this harsh that the food rotted so fast. There is a Midrash that their food rotted immediately, one minute they had food and the next minute the food rotted. Why was it supernatural. Why couldn't it be normal, where after one or two years it got worse and worse. So much so that look at Pharaoh's response to the Egyptians, it is Joseph's fault, Joseph controls nature,and he can kill at will. Blame the Jew. This is similar to the communist revolution in 1917. The Jews where useful. Stalin and Lenin knew that the Jews would be harshest on their own religion and did much of their dirty work for the Communists. Jews executed the Czar and initially made up most of the secret police. Stalin and Lenin could then blame the Jewish people.
Why did Joseph have to force them to circumcise. additionally, in next weeks Torah portion it says that Joseph displaced the Egyptian, so that all Egyptians would be exiles, Chapter 47, verse 21 and when his family came they would not feel as the only strangers in the land.
Why didn't Joseph give the food to the Egyptians, once they ran out of money. Did he set up soup kitchens? Imagine the scene. People are starving in the streets, begging and screaming for food. What does Joseph do. It seems to rank with the comment of Maria Antoinette, "Let them eat cake".
This is what Joseph had to contend with – some of these are obvious and others have to be true:
1) Number 2 man in the Kingdom
2) Seven years of planning during the years of plenty
3) Feeding the country during famine
4) Preventing revolt in Egypt and not having Egypt come apart by the seams
5) Dealing with palace intrigue. Pharaohs advisors tried to undermine Joseph all the time.
6) Working to fulfill his mission to build the foundations of the Jewish people and eventually reconcile with his brothers.
7) Suppress his natural urge to be generous and charitable.
Answer to Question 2:
We were not there so we do not know how the people felt and their reaction. However, society back then and throughout most of history was cruel, run by a king or other power, who did not care about the welfare of people. Pharaoh must have been very happy with the wealth Joseph was amassing. The people could not revolt as they were starving. Joseph was acting no different from any other king, Pharaoh, or ruler at that time or even throughout history. Ultimately Pharaoh had the final yes or no and Joseph could not just give away food that belonged to the kingdom. I would even suggest that all of Pharaoh's advisors agreed with Joseph.
I doubt that Pharaoh believed that Joseph will kill us. After all the Egyptians had Joseph in prison for up to 10 years. Pharaoh was blaming Joseph for a harsh policy that Pharaoh was happy with – the selling of food to his own people; or indifferent – the circumcision. He was able to appear to sympathize with his people, by blaming his second in command, but having clean hands. This is very typical in corporations, find someone else to blame. Unfortunately, he made it sound that Joseph is this master manipulator, able to change nature upon his will. Not good for Joseph and the Jewish people (perhaps this is why generations later, Pharaoh was able to convince his people to turn against the legacy of Joseph and his people.)
How did the people react to Joseph seemingly harshness? It could be that they were used to despots. They ultimately received food, survived, and after the famine prospered, so they bore no ill will towards Joseph. Look at the Ranban Genesis, Chapter 47, Verse 14. The verse says that "Joseph gathered up all the money" – The Ranban says that Joseph gave everything to Pharaoh, Joseph got nothing. This was Joseph's wisdom. The Ranban then concludes "Through this endeavor, he (Joseph) found grace even in the eyes of the people; for it is Hashem Who causes those who fear him to prosper."
Why the circumcision and exile. Joseph knew that his family would one day settle in the land and he wanted to try to ensure that they prosper in their new setting and keep the commandments. What he did to the Egyptians may not have been considered cruel and unusual in terms of how people were treated and they fact that they had nothing, and could only survive because of Joseph. Look at what the communists in Russia and China did to their own people. Look at what circumstances have done to people over the last 150 years.
Why did the food spoil so quickly? Joseph knew and God knew that eventually the brothers would have to face Joseph. At the end of the 7 years of plenty, Joseph was gone from his family for 20 years. The clock was ticking. What had to happen was for the brothers to run out of food and the recognition of the brothers that they erred in selling Joseph and correct a character flaw. Because of the 2 years that Joseph had to stay in prison, the years of famine started two years later. There was not enough time for the food supplies to be used up, for the brothers to come to Egypt, go back, realize their mistake and regret selling Joseph in two years. Instead of having four years, there were only two years, so therefore the running out of food was sped up and the food rotted unnaturally. When there is a ripple in time, things have to change and this is what changed. Unfortunately, Pharaoh used it against Joseph, blaming Joseph and probably created ill will towards Joseph, at least initially or even years later when the Egyptians enslaved the jews..
Answer to Question 4 – Why didn't Joseph phone home:
This answer is relatively simple. Joseph knew that one day the family will come together. On a strictly personal level there was nothing for Joseph to go back to his family other than re-connecting with his father, to tell his father that he is still alive and they he is very successful. His brothers would continue to hate him and there would be continued tension, further fracturing the family, where Yaakov would now have to take sides and perhaps cause much more anguish to his father. If he would move his father to Egypt the brothers would not have followed along, so he would have had to leave his father in Canaan, rarely see him, and dislike his own kids for letting him down.
On a national level – Klal Yisroel level – If he initiated going back to his father, then his brothers would have continued to hate him and there would not be a unified Klal Yisroel – nation. They would still have felt that they were right in their determination to kill Joseph and there would have not been a reconciliation. The brothers had to come to a realization that they wronged Joseph and that their approach was wrong. They had to be humbled. The only reason to go back is to reconnect with his father, however, Yaakov had to suffer for the greater good.
Answer to Question 3 – Did Joseph "forget his father's house":
One a simple level it means that he was able to put all of the pain and suffering caused by his brothers behind him, not that he gave up his rapprochement with his father and brothers. The correct treading should be "all that happened in his father's house".
There is a beautiful Reb Shimshon Raphael Hirsh on this. He says that the Hebrew word used to mean forget is נַשַּׁנִי . This word also means to be a creditor. RSRH says that the correct meaning is
That I am indebted to my family and Hashem because I now understand why I was sold and why I ended up in Egypt as a ruler, so that I am the one to save my family and create the Jewish nation.

Become one with nature and battle demons in Capcom's ambitious sequel.
Capcom's Okami tells the story of Amaterasu, the sun goddess reincarnated as a white wolf, on a journey to rid Japan of demonic forces. Both beautiful and enthralling, the critically acclaimed adventure impressed audiences on PlayStation 2 and Wii. Now they'll be able to enjoy this attractive world on the go, as the publisher plans to release a sequel, Okamiden, on the DS in 2011.
This time, however, you won't play as Amaterasu. Instead, you'll battle evil as the pintsize wolf cub, Chibiterasu, Amaterasu's kid. Although he's not as powerful as his mama, Chibi combines his powers with a small boy named Kuni, who rides his new buddy throughout Japan; he's one of several partners you'll meet.
Together, you must rid the land of a new evil while restoring nature's beauty. That sounds like a tall order for a couple of pipsqueaks, but they have some key abilities that'll aid them on their quest, beginning with the Celestial Brush from the first Okami. By pressing either the Left or Right trigger, you enter Celestial Brush mode and can dramatically effect the environment by drawing on the touch screen. For example, if you see a dead tree, encircling it causes flowers to grow. You can also draw a circle to create the sun, thus providing light to a dreary place, or use a similar circle to rebuild a bridge.
Even objects within the environment don't stand a chance against your might. If Chibi happens upon a rock blocking his path, a quick slash will cut it in half, granting access to a previously unreachable area.
You'll also use this to solve puzzles. To direct Kuni, simply draw a line and he'll follow it without hesitation. This proves useful to complete challenges that require both characters to split up. Take the classic puzzle where both heroes must stand on two switches to open a door or lower spikes. After walking over the first switch with Chibi, you'll draw a line to the other switch and Kuni will follow orders.
As expected, the brush has plenty of other uses, especially when it comes to attacking demons, monsters and ghosts. While Chibi has a standard claw attack, you'll need the brush to tackle the more difficult enemies, particularly bosses. Similar to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise, a boss is sort of like a puzzle with multiple stages, and you must figure them out using the brush. Capcom wouldn't elaborate, but it did show us an image of Master Anura, an ugly toad like creature with a long tongue. We look forward to squaring off against that guy.
For now, we'll have to settle for a handful of images. If Capcom pulls this off, Okamiden will be a deep, gripping and attractive sequel that'll keep DS owners busy for weeks. Expect more info in the near future, as well as hands-on impressions during this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

Glenn softball wins first-ever district title
The Grizzlies face Bastrop in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday
Emily Berryhill and Glenn won their first district title this season, finishing one game ahead of Cedar Park in District 17-5A. The Grizzlies have made the playoffs in the two of three seasons as a program.
Posted Wednesday, April 24, 2019 12:00 pm
By ZACH SMITH, HCN Sports Editor
The Glenn softball program has grown by leaps and bounds.
In their first year of existence, the Grizzlies didn't win a district game. In year two, they just made the playoffs and lost in the first round. It was after that loss to end last season that the buy-in really happened.
Glenn won its first-ever District 17-5A title this season with an 11-1 record, one game better than Cedar Park, and open the playoffs with a winner-take-all, bi-district round game against Bastrop Thursday at 7 p.m. at home.
"Last year we wanted to make playoffs. As a whole school we all wanted to be on that page," Grizzlies head coach Marissa Guzman said. "This year, we wanted to kind of separate in the sense that we didn't want to just be in playoffs, we wanted to go as far as we can."
This year's squad is a mix of girls that are vocal on and off the field and those that are quieter and lead by example. There are three freshman and two sophomores in the regular in the starting lineup while senior Allie Richardson has locked down the hot corner.
Richardson and outfielder Tyler Cole have been through the worst of the times and now the best of times, and it's the group of juniors and seniors that have helped lead the pack this season.
"They don't just play well on the field, but they play with heart," sophomore Emily Berryhill said. "We played for them all year. It's the first senior class and we wanted to go all out for them because they're never really going to experience this again. We want to make it the best for them."
The underclassmen have been key contributors to the Grizzlies' success as well.
Freshman pitcher Rileigh Harris has joined Jolene Weaver to give Glenn a pair of top-level starters that further boost the team's confidence.
Guzman said Berryhill controls the infield and fellow sophomore Taysia Tate controls the outfield. And while Tate isn't always the loudest player, she's always going all out whether coaches are watching or not.
"Our team is more mature from last year," Tate said. "Everyone has stepped their game up and we'll all together more. Our upperclassmen and our pitchers have gotten better from year to year and our infield is even more solid."
Many players on the Glenn softball team play other sports for the Grizzlies, so one of the biggest questions Guzman had was whether everyone would come together when softball was the only sport to focus on.
The Grizzlies were determined all during the regular season to leave no doubt that they belong in Class 5A. They more than proved that point.
"I hoped for it and I knew the talent we had," Guzman said. "Since the offseason, they already had it in their minds that this was what they wanted to do. This is the kind of culture we want at Glenn and it's the kind of culture we want in our athletic department. To see the kids put their money where their mouth is nice to see."
Glenn and Bastrop faced off earlier this season, with the Grizzlies winning 2-0 during tournament play.
The mindset for Berryhill and the team is still to go hard, but after last season's postseason experience and everything they've proved to themselves and the rest of the district this year, the Grizzlies are a little less timid.
"We've had lots of game where we've been down or we had a lot of errors in an inning and it turned into a bit of a mess and our team just kept going knowing that it was just one inning," Berryhill said. "The coaches were picking us up and the team does a good job of picking each other up. We did a lot better at that this year."

Q: Can someone help me rewrite this code (fig with multiple histograms) with a for loop or function? I looked at a similar post but am still struggling with it.  You don't have to write out the whole code if you don't want.  But a syntactical guide would be helpful.  Here is my lengthy manual approach:

Great Commitment
Stephen helped me with a fraudulent charge for domestic violence. He was extremely helpful and diligent throughout the process. It began with a lengthy meeting to gather the pertinent information—which took place over three hours on a Sunday afternoon. From there, Stephen worked hard to get information from the state. Stephen's background in the Harris County D.A.'s Office means that he understands both sides of the case—defense and prosecution—very well. He contacted the prosecution multiple times throughout my ordeal. The Harris County D.A.'s Office does not work very efficiently; therefore it required dogged persistence to get any meaningful response. Unfortunately, the prosecutor on my case changed five times, which added quite a bit of delay.
Ultimately, Stephen was able to discuss the case with the lead prosecutor and successfully convinced him to dismiss the charges. Stephen is very detail oriented, shows great commitment, and does very well to maintain a good level of communication (including making himself available for phone calls). I highly recommend him as a defense attorney.
I was convicted of assault on a family member for allegedly assaulting my roommate. I had never been convicted of a crime before and had many doors closed to me because of my criminal record. I also had to deal with the psychological burden of being defined by that case as a criminal. After my conviction, I consulted eight attorneys and all of them told me not to waste my time or money as I could do nothing about my conviction.
I was fortunate enough to call Mr. Aslett. In the first hour of talking to him, I realized he was exceptional. He listened to me, took notes, discussed my options, and followed up with me. He took my case for a reasonable price, which ended up being little compared to what I eventually received in return. He filed a writ of habeas corpus and was able to get my conviction overturned and dismissed. Doors have opened to me again. I was able to start pharmacy school and will be able to get a job after graduation because of what Mr. Aslett has done for me. Thank you, Mr. Aslett, for a wonderful job and giving me back my life.
"I hired Stephen Aslett to represent me on a theft case. He was extremely thorough with all aspects of my case. He fought for me with persistence and passion every step of the way. I couldn't have had a better outcome than dismissal and that is exactly what he provided in my case. Stephen was also willing to work with my finances which helped me tremendously. He even took time to meet me on New Year's day due to my availability in such a short notice. Stephen is a compassionate and understanding advocate of the law, while keeping his client first in mind. I would highly recommend him to any and all my friends and family. Thank you, so much for all your time and diligence in representing me and my case…"
Great Lawyer
"Stephen Aslett is a great lawyer. He gets back to you quickly and got my case dismissed. I would definitely use him again."
Very Personable
"I contacted Mr. Aslett with questions about a case in which I was given deferred adjudication. Mr. Aslett quickly gave me all the information I needed and also helped me with a non-related case. I am extremely pleased with my decision to hire him as my lawyer and would recommend his services to others."
"My son and I were fortunate enough to find Mr. Aslett when it became apparent to us from other attorneys that my son's criminal record could never be expunged. Mr. Aslett carefully listened to our story; his interest and compassion were evident in our very first meeting. My son and I placed our complete trust in him and that trust proved to be well-placed. Mr. Aslett has a passion for law. He painstakingly explained all our options as well as the possible outcomes in great detail. He gently guided us toward making the best decision for my son. Mr. Aslett filed a writ of habeas corpus on my son's behalf. Due to his expertise, diligence, and persistence, but son's case was not only dismissed but granted early expunction. I truly believe that it is due to Mr. Aslett's efforts that my son has been given a chance for a new beginning."
Case Dismissed
"Thanks to Mr. Stephen Aslett's professionalism and diligent work, my complicated case was dismissed. Not only does he know his job very well, his knowledge and dedication are obvious once you meet him. I am very grateful and fortunate to have had him as my attorney."
"My charge was driving with an invalid license. I found Stephen Aslett through my older sister. From the beginning, he assured me that he would do everything he could to provide me with the best representation he could. With his knowledge and guidance, we were able to successfully have the charges dismissed. I was also able to have my driver's license reinstated. Thank you Stephen Aslett for your great service."
"First, I'd like to thank Stephen for his work. I contacted Stephen about a case that was out of his county, actually many counties away. After chatting with him, I placed my trust in him to represent me and protect my freedom. He did that exceptionally well. He has always been very respectful and responsive. My case was unique—from the accusations, to the arrest, to the handling of the case by the DA's office. After three long years of being on bond and never knowing what was around the corner, I am now free and clear of two serious felonies that could have had me in prison for many years. Stephen is upfront, upstanding, and ultimately of superior professionalism. If you are in need of someone with knowledge of the law and who knows how to conduct himself, Stephen is the attorney to call."
A Satisfied Client
I got my case dismissed and my visa in good standing with Mr. Aslett
"I want to thank Mr. Aslett for helping me on my case. I am an international student and I was charged with a third degree felony. It was a misunderstanding and Mr. Aslett did whatever he could to get the case dismissed. He was there at every step to explain what was going on and what were the options that I had. I would highly recommend him to anybody because he is very professional and ready to help."
D.A.
"Mr. Aslett represented my son on a very serious charge where he was facing 25 years to life in prison for something that he didn't do. I was very grateful for the way he handled the case. He was able to get it dismissed and I could not be happier with the outcome. Mr. Aslett was so nice and believed in my son. Words cannot express how happy I feel. Thank you."
Frances M.
Stephen Is a Miracle
"I recently had a felony charge of injury to a child, facing an offer of 5 years in prison. Prior to hiring Stephen as my lawyer, I had another lawyer who did nothing at all besides accept money and reset my court date. At the time that Stephen took my case, the grand jury had indicted it and he had to work extremely hard to make up for what my first lawyer didn't do. Stephen is very patient and understanding. He is very knowledgeable about the law and he's very honest and up front. I know for a fact that had I not hired Stephen I would be in prison on felony charges. Instead, Stephen got my case dismissed! I would recommend Stephen because he's very honest, sincere, and hard working! He takes his career very seriously as well as his clients. Stephen purposely limits the amount of cases he accepts so that each case is given the full attention it needs. I promise you won't be disappointed if you hire Stephen!!"
"I hired Mr. Aslett for my defense on a charge that was false. He gave me an upfront charge that included everything expected and he did not return for more. He was thorough and meticulous in his preparation of me and for trial. His defense in court was great. The outcome was not guilty as he explained it was very likely to be. He is a very trustworthy person and I highly recommend him."
Kemil
A+ Attorney!!!
"Start to finish, Stephen was with me the whole way. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to represent me in my case. I was faced with a long drawn out misdemeanor assault case, but with perseverance and patience we were able to resolve the case with a full dismissal within seven months. When I had a question Stephen was there to answer it in great detail and he always went above and beyond to defend me.
On the date of trial, Stephen was more prepared than the prosecution which ultimately led to a full dismissal of my case. I couldn't be more proud of my attorney and his preparedness for the charges that were brought against me. I would strongly recommend Mr. Stephen Aslett to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. I hope I never have to retain Stephen's services again, but if I'm in a position that requires it, he will be the only defense attorney I call."
"Mr. Aslett represented me on an assault on a family member case. I was defending myself from a drunk relative who attacked me, but the police ended up arresting me anyway. I have a good job and was afraid I would lose it if I were convicted. Mr. Aslett got to work on my case right away. He was able to get the protective order against me changed so I didn't have to move out of my house. On just my second court appearance, he was able to get my case dismissed! I chose Mr. Aslett because he is an expert on handling assault cases and it showed in the work he did for me. I strongly recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges, particularly an assault case like mine."
The guy you need on your side
"Stephen was an excellent attorney. I was in a financial situation at the moment but Stephen worked with my situation and we worked out a payment plan which helped me tremendously. Stephen went above and beyond and did all the digging and reviewing on my case in order to dismiss it. I definitely would recommend him to anyone in need!"
Best Choice In Town
"Stephen took my case on short notice. He was very prompt and knowledgeable about all the workings of the legal system. He always called the day before an appearance and gave me a rundown and what options would be on the table and which one was most likely going to happen. It was reassuring to go in knowing what to exact and to come out with what you had planned on. I definitely recommend Mr. Aslett."
A Good Lawyer
"I was charged with a crime I didn't commit. Stephen did the leg work and got to the bottom of it and got me a dismissal. He visited me in jail and kept me up to speed until the end. God blessed me with him and he got my freedom back. He is a good lawyer who does his job."
Fantastic Job
"I was treated with ultimate respect. Mr. Aslett did a fantastic job on my case and saved my life in the process. I am very thankful."
Damian R.
"This was my first experience with anything like this. Mr. Aslett contacted me and in detail explained everything that was going on with my daughter after her arrest. He was so kind, so thorough, and so patient with the questions I had. He was on top of everything and responded quickly to every silly question I asked him. He was sympathetic to my concerns as well as reassuring to my family. He got the best possible outcome we could have asked for. I appreciate so much his kindness and his attentiveness to our situation. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone going through what we had to go through. A simple thank you to him would never be enough. I hope I never have to use him or any other attorney again. But if I do he would be the one to call. He was even kind enough to call and check up on my daughter and our family to see if he could help us in any other way. I feel like I could still count on him for any questions I might have as we go through all of the after jail stuff."
Extremely Understanding
"I was arrested with a felony charge August 2016. I could not afford an attorney for myself and Mr. Aslett was my court appointed attorney for my case. He was extremely understanding of my circumstances and situation. Because of his extensive knowledge of Texas laws and the judicial system, his compassion and determination to help those in need he fought for me and with to successfully have my charge reduced to a misdemeanor. I could not of had a better attorney to be by my side throughout this entire experience."
A special person and fantastic attorney
"Stephen Aslett is truly a person who genuinely cares about his clientele. I recently was a client of Stephen's, and was very impressed with his attentiveness, depth of knowledge, and compassion during tremendously difficult times. Stephen's advice was always thorough and provided me with a great deal of comfort in a very insecure and unsure time. Additionally, after I was no longer a client of his, he was willing to speak with me briefly about another situation, and when the situation called for it, even recommended not obtaining his service. Stephen is a great person and a fantastic lawyer, and I highly recommend him as a lawyer and friend."
"Our experience with Mr. Aslett was amazing! He was very honest, knowledgeable, and caring of our situation! Even after our ordeal was over he called to check on our well being. During our ordeal he worked diligently fighting for us working with investigators and the D.A. I prayed that we would fall into good hands, and with Steve we absolutely were in good hands! We will be forever grateful for everything he did to help us!! We would recommend him to anyone!!"
Scelest
Forgery charge
"I absolutely adore and respect Mr. Aslett. In less than two months of being my attorney he got me probation even after the judge said I wasn't eligible. He's also working to get a prior conviction overturned because of an illegal sentence. He's fair, kind, patient, affordable, and went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely use him again for any future legal services. Thank you, Mr. Aslett."
Dichelle K.
Sober Court Dismissed
"Stephen was amazing and prompt. I am on probation for DWI. I was sentenced to Sober Court after failing a breath test. I called Mr. Aslett and explained the situation to him. Immediately, he went into consultation mode and started making phone calls and researching information. Even though I had only two days before court, he did not waste time. To summarize, I am happy with the outcome: I do not have to attend Sober Court. If you want a reliable, prompt, and knowledgeable attorney, then Mr. Stephen Aslett is your person."
Great Representation, Fast, and Thorough
"Stephen Aslett was hired to research a criminal case I was party to in 1980 where I had been given probation. After the conditions of the probation were fulfilled, I was granted an Early Termination Order of the Court Dismissing the Cause. However, in 2017, it was brought to my attention that this case was in the national NCIC criminal database indicating that I had a final felony conviction. Mr. Aslett drafted a letter for me to present to federal, state, and local authorities and future employers to explain that this data was incorrect and that I had no conviction."
A lawyer that listens to you
"For months, I looked for a lawyer that would listen to me and Mr. Aslett did that. He got the results I wanted."
Mike V.
A very thorough and most reliable lawyer
"I am glad I spoke with you today. You made me feel secure. You explained all possible options. I would blindly recommend you to anyone seeking help."
Jay N.
Mr. Aslett was awesome. He always answered me back within 24 hours when I called him. Very nice and willing to help you to the fullest extent. He was professional, accurate, and focused. He did exactly what he said he was going to do, and I was very pleased with the results.

Quite frankly, the last missing piece in Samsung's impressive Android lineup in the United States was probably a rugged device, and the Samsung Rugby Smart for AT&T has arrived to fix that wrong. The handset has been built up to the MIL-STD-810f military spec standards. It is dust proof, shock resistant, and can be be submerged in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. Extreme temperatures are also welcome as long as the Samsung Gravity Smart is concerned.

Business|Cities Need Affordable Housing, but Builders Want Big Profits. Can It Work?
Cities Need Affordable Housing, but Builders Want Big Profits. Can It Work?
Using government subsidies, tax credits and zoning changes, municipal leaders are encouraging developers to incorporate affordable housing into mixed-use projects.

By Eugene L. Meyer
WASHINGTON — The Wharf is a gleaming, $2.5 billion development that has transformed a long-stagnant waterfront into a major destination in the nation's capital.
Along a mile of the Potomac River is an array of high-end hotels, entertainment venues, shops, restaurants and apartments. They include the 6,000-capacity Anthem concert venue, an InterContinental hotel and Vio, a luxury condominium where prices have soared up to $2.9 million.
But the city has also required the developer to include affordable housing on the project's 24 acres. Of the 761 units in the first phase of the development, 26 percent are listed as affordable, and more are promised in the second phase.
From Washington to San Francisco, municipal leaders are facing increased pressure to provide affordable housing. Using a combination of government subsidies, tax credits and zoning changes, they are encouraging developers to incorporate affordable units into mixed-use projects.
The Wharf development is a partnership between PN Hoffman and Madison Marquette, developers based in Washington. Monty Hoffman, chief executive of PN Hoffman, takes great pride in the affordable housing.

To make the Wharf project profitable, the partners sought to adjust the mix and build more units over all. The District of Columbia lowered its price for the land and reduced the percentage of lowest-cost housing while permitting more below-market, moderate-income "work force" units.
"It allowed us to avoid residential offerings only at the extreme ends — deep affordable and waterfront market rate," Mr. Hoffman said. Absent such concessions, he said, he would have needed more office, hospitality, retail and market-rate housing to make the numbers work.
"We did not want to create a tourist or office-centric park," he said. "We wanted a balanced community."
Developers across the nation are finding that economics are crucial in determining how many and at what price such units may be included for a mixed-use project to be both socially responsive and financially profitable. And they are working with community leaders to find the right equation.

To further construction of multifamily units, Minneapolis recently moved to rezone most of the city to eliminate single-family zoning. Several Sun Belt cities, including Atlanta, Austin, Tex., and Houston, now encourage a percentage of affordable units in any mixed-use project.
California's landscape is more challenging. Its residential property tax cap, an amendment to the State Constitution passed in 1978 and known as Proposition 13, forced localities to push for commercial development to generate revenue needed for schools, parks, the police and other public services.
Still, developers there are including moderate-income units in the mix, said Michael A. Covarrubias, chief executive of TMG Partners, a developer based in San Francisco. But, he added, the high cost of land has made that difficult. And the developer has to contend with residents opposed to gentrification in their neighborhoods.
"Affordable housing has been unavailable," Mr. Covarrubias said. "It's a hornet's nest and a complicated road you go down to get the volume you need."
To help address the problem, the tech giant Google has pledged to invest $1 billion in land and money to build homes, including those deemed affordable in the Bay Area. In Northern Virginia, JBG Smith has raised $78 million from investors for housing aimed at those who earn too much for government help but not enough to afford market rates. The firm is the dominant landlord in Crystal City, the section of Arlington where Amazon is locating its second headquarters, with 25,000 new jobs.

In Washington, market forces threaten to overtake government efforts to slow the gentrification of previously low-income neighborhoods, making them less affordable for longtime African-American residents and leading to cultural clashes.
The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments has said the region needs to build more than 100,000 housing units by 2045, of which 40 percent should serve the lowest-income residents. Separately, the District of Columbia has set a goal of 36,000 units by 2025, of which 12,000 would be affordable. To reach that goal, the district's mayor, Muriel E. Bowser, has offered solutions that include a $100 million annual housing production trust fund, regulatory relief and a higher building height limit.
"We just have to do many different things," said Brian T. Kenner, a former deputy mayor for planning and economic development, who left district government on July 2 to work for Amazon. "Things we did before we have to alter, whether it's making inclusive zoning even more robust or limited setbacks."
The challenge for local governments is to find incentives like tax breaks that encourage developers, Mr. Kenner said. "Government can't buy its way out," he said.
But government, he said, remains concerned about the negative impact of development, which can displace residents as it alters neighborhoods.
The issue has come into focus with plans to turn Brookland Manor, an 80-year-old, 535-unit garden apartment complex in northeast Washington, into a 1,700-unit, $600 million mixed-use development.
The old complex included a small strip shopping center. Once predominantly occupied by low- and middle-income white families, the complex became home to a mostly African-American community after whites left the district for the suburbs. In deteriorating condition, it underwent a federally subsidized renovation in the early 1970s that led to litigation from residents who feared displacement.
That same battle is being replayed as MidCity Financial Corporation, its owner, seeks to triple the number of units, including townhomes and 22 percent lower-cost apartments alongside 181,000 square feet of retail. Residents are divided, despite MidCity's promises to avoid displacing them. Some tenants object to the elimination of 134 four- and five-bedroom apartments for large families, and two lawsuits are working their way through the courts.
Two original buildings have been razed, as has the old shopping center, now a fenced-in lot with a sign urging an end to all gun violence. Despite the complaints of some residents, the proposed number of affordable units exceeds city requirements.

The District of Columbia is in a stronger position with properties it owns or controls, and requires 30 percent affordable housing units. The city encompasses several large parcels of former federal land ripe for development. These include the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center and St. Elizabeths Hospital, east of the Anacostia River. The 190-acre Robert F. Kennedy Stadium site is also up for grabs.
Developers and community groups are monitoring these parcels closely. To show activists the projects under development or soon to be, the Washington Interfaith Network ran several bus tours this year. Tour guides noted potential conflicts as the city seeks to reap new tax revenue while requiring developers to include socially desirable, if less profitable, features.
"At some point, you realize there's just a machine that's running," said the Rev. Frankey Grayton, pastor of Edgewood Baptist Church in Washington and a prominent activist with WIN. "The development is happening at an alarming rate."
Pastor Grayton was standing in front of a fenced building site in what is known as Hill East, a 67-acre parcel on the Anacostia River. City planners have long envisioned this tract, home to the now-closed D.C. General Hospital and other social-welfare buildings, as perfect for waterfront development.
As this prospect comes closer into view, community activists are organizing to ensure that low-income housing is included. In the first two buildings, it already is.
On what was the parking lot of D.C. General, a 202-unit, five-story apartment building is rising, one of two that will be the vanguard of Hill East. There will be 25,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and 106 low- and moderate-priced rentals, 30 percent of the total.
But it has been nine years in the making. After many meetings, hearings, permits and approvals, the mixed-use project is finally happening.
"It takes a village, as we say, to figure out the finances, the uses, the zoning," Mr. Covarrubias, the San Francisco developer, said. "It's a long, slow process."

Abstract. A high-resolution extraterrestrial solar spectrum has been determined from ground-based measurements of direct solar spectral irradiance (SSI) over the wavelength range from 300 to 500 nm using the Langley-plot technique. The measurements were obtained at the Izaña Atmospheric Research Centre from the Agencia Estatal de Meteorología, Tenerife, Spain, during the period 12 to 24 September 2016. This solar spectrum (QASUMEFTS) was combined from medium-resolution (bandpass of 0.86 nm) measurements of the QASUME (Quality Assurance of Spectral Ultraviolet Measurements in Europe) spectroradiometer in the wavelength range from 300 to 500 nm and high-resolution measurements (0.025 nm) from a Fourier transform spectroradiometer (FTS) over the wavelength range from 305 to 380 nm. The Kitt Peak solar flux atlas was used to extend this high-resolution solar spectrum to 500 nm. The expanded uncertainties of this solar spectrum are 2 % between 310 and 500 nm and 4 % at 300 nm. The comparison of this solar spectrum with solar spectra measured in space (top of the atmosphere) gave very good agreements in some cases, while in some other cases discrepancies of up to 5 % were observed. The QASUMEFTS solar spectrum represents a benchmark dataset with uncertainties lower than anything previously published. The metrological traceability of the measurements to the International System of Units (SI) is assured by an unbroken chain of calibrations leading to the primary spectral irradiance standard of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany.

The way to compose a very superior economics research paper?
"When people succeed in life, it's due to hard work. Some people believe the very best means of learning about life is by listening to the assistance of family members and friends. Other people believe the very best method of learning about life is by way of personal experience. Residing in a diverse society could be helpful or it may be hard, you are ready to study others and find out from them or vice-versa, as each of you would have a special life. Even though it can be beneficial, whereby, it's a situation where everyone is sharing their own knowledge with each other, but there might be an alternate situation whereby perspectives collide and conflicts arise.

Your move, Thomas the Tank Engine.
Most of us -- even well into adulthood -- are still waiting for our invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but one lucky family of Muggles scored a free ride on the Hogwarts Express after a canoeing trip went awry.
According to the BBC, Jon and Helen Cluett and their four children were enjoying a getaway in Lochaber, in the West of the Scottish Highlands, when a swollen river swept away their canoe.
Weighing up their options to safely return to their car, the Cluetts decided the best choice would be to phone for help.
"In the end I decided the only option was to phone the police and mountain rescue, ask if they have any local knowledge that could help us out," Mr. Cluett told the BBC.
"The amazing thing was it wasn't just any train. The next train that was passing was the Jacobite steam train -- the Harry Potter, Hogwarts Express steam train that goes up and down that line."
Yep, the train used in the Harry Potter movies, the Jacobite steam train rescued the family like some kind of magical saving grace.
Obviously the Jacobite is the train that was used in the movies, with the iconic shot of it travelling across the Glenfinnan viaduct synonymous with the trip to Hogwarts.
While the kids obviously had an amazing magical adventure, Mr. Cluett was still mourning his missing boat.
"I'm slightly sad because I'd lost my boat -- but the kids, when they saw the steam train coming, all sadness left their little faces and was replaced by excitement and fun -- just the real joy of having an adventure and having the train stop right next to them."


The decision to get divorced is one that should be arrived at after all other options have been exhausted. One should only get divorce after concluding that one's marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no hope of a reconciliation. Family counseling has helped many struggling couples in their relationships. One should never have regrets over not having done enough to try to save a marriage. Having said that, if you have concluded that your marriage is over then, before any other decision is made, you should seek the advice of an experienced South Florida family lawyer.
Finding the right attorney for your case is the second most important decision that you will make in this process and it is one that can have a lasting impact in your future. Some people invest more time in buying a house or finding a good restaurant than they do in finding an experienced family lawyer, and many times your choice of a divorce attorney can have a greater impact in your life. Be prepared to invest time in finding different alternatives. The more options you develop the better your decision will be. Begin by asking family, friends and co-workers, preferably ones that have been or are going through a divorce. Do a search online.
When looking for a family law attorney there are many factors that must be taken into account such as the level of experience your potential attorney has, the hourly rate or potential cost, the comfort level you have with your potential attorney, the geographic location of your potential attorney etc.
I do not believe there is such a thing as the best attorney in a particular area. There are attorneys that have a good reputation, have more years of experience and that generally obtain favorable results for their client's; however, that is all relative to a particular client's needs. You do not necessarily need the best attorney in the state with his or her presumably high hourly rate or cost when your case can be resolved with the same level of competency of an experienced family law attorney with less years of experience and presumable a lower hourly rate or cost. As the saying goes, you don't need the best brain surgeon to remove stitches.
Experience is generally related to the amount of years an attorney has been practicing. Relevant experience is directly related to the amount of time an attorney devotes to a particular area of practice. You should be looking for an attorney that has experience in the area of family law. The amount of time an attorney has been practicing and the amount of time the attorney dedicates to the area of family law is especially relevant. An attorney that has exclusively practiced in the area of family law will presumably have more experience than one that has a general practice, all other factors being equal. An experienced attorney in the area of family law will almost certainly be more familiar with the latest changes to the laws, local procedures, the judges, the judges staff, local professionals such as mediators, forensic accountants, psychologists and therapists, and the general operation of a family practice. A simple way to find out how long an attorney has been practicing law or his or her standing is to look them up on the Florida Bar Association web site.
Most family law attorneys will require an initial deposit for fees and charge an hourly rate. The hourly rate varies somewhat but is generally related to the experience the attorney has in a particular area as well as the market conditions. The best way to get a sense of what is a reasonable and fair hourly rate is to inquire with different attorneys. Generally speaking, attorneys with similar experience charge similar rates. It is important to understand the particular billing practices of each attorney. Ask each attorney to explain his or her fees and billing practices to you until you understand them and do no rely on the language in a contract that you may not take the time to read or understand.
Like the selection of any professional, it is important that you feel comfortable with the attorney that is going to represent your interests. You may be spending significant time with him or her and you want to make sure he or she fully understands your concerns. If you are more comfortable in a different language look for an attorney that is fluent in that language and not just that he or she has staff that speak your language. If you require detailed and careful explanation of all details of your case, make sure that the attorney you hire has the time to give you the explanations that you need.
The geographical location of your potential attorney is an important factor to consider when choosing an attorney for your family law needs. You will be spending, in some cases, considerable amount of time at your attorney's office. You may also be spending a lot of time in court and the proximity of your attorney to the courthouse is also important since you will be paying for to the attorney's time.


There is still loads of time. You can do it!
been drastically slowed down by hand pain... dont expect a work of art!
I must admit my progress has been much slower than expected. My excuse though is my free time has been taken up with gaming to get my back in the swing of things for an up coming tournament this weekend.... I'm all sorted now so I aim to get moving more this week.
Haven't made much progress, hoping to get cracking on it this weekend. All of the prep work is complete, here's a pic with the yellow filler primer coat just prior to final sanding.
Since then it's had a base coat of satin black, looks like gloss in this photo but it's not.
Next coat will be dark steel grey on the main chair part, with silver edging on the top front, purple cushions, and coloured lights on the consoles.
Nowhere near where i'd planned to be at this point, fact i'd planned on being done!
of the 10 passenger cars, only 7 will be used on the train itself, the other three will be repurposed into a road block! the reasoning for this is that the three being moved to the block, are the original 3 that came with the set, they're pretty badly damaged and frankly, the paint scheme just doesnt work on them... so plan b!
in all, while im pleased with how the engine is coming out, its WAY away from my original plan, which was a black/white break up over everything, sadly it just wouldnt translate from source material to model, but these things happen, so im making the best of it!
so, entry is now closed folks! all current contestants have until midnight on the 28th (Monday!) to finish up and get an entry in!
if everyone gets it in sooner, we'll start voting early!
still needs clean up on the line work, some highlights and the crests done in gold, but i'm almost ready to call these done!
he waved the new Battride game under my nose, and in 3 days i've spent... well, 3 days playing it!
It's his fault! i swear!
I think I've done all I can with my entry. I need to make an appointment to get my eyes tested, I think I need reading glasses, trying to paint the details was just a blur. Plus I need new paints, most of mine are dried out lumps - I managed to just about bring the purple back to life with acrylic medium and a lot of stirring.
I'll take better photos over the weekend and post them up, it's too dark right now and I don't have a light box. Plus I need to get Vader and a Royal Guard out of the attic to stand by the Emperor's side.
Looking good guys... It'll be down to the wire with my entry. I was meant to get some quality painting time today, but I've miss spent my day nursing a hangover.
Entry ends at Midnight tonight guys!
Just added my entry to the gallery.
Entry added. Not entirely happy with it, but would need a strip and repaint to fix it properly. Now to pack it away with the rest of my collection until I have a cabinet to display it in.
I'll be running against the wire on this one I'm waiting on glue drying before I can touch it again today!


First, take a look at where your business is now and determine where you want it to be in the future. Set specific and measurable goals to achieve through your marketing campaign.
Second, determine the messaging of your marketing campaign. Take a look at your company values and use these to guide how you communicate in your marketing efforts.
After you have completed these two steps, you are ready to choose a strategy and get to work. Check out some valuable tools and tips below to help you get started.
Social media channels serve many purposes for organizations, and they're completely free to create and use. They can be used to share content consistently, showcase your best work and create two-way communication.
Each social media platform should be used a little differently in order to get the most engagement from your audience. The most popular social channels are Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Facebook has the most users out of any social media platform. You have the potential to reach larger audiences using different types of content. Generally, it is best to post pictures and videos to get the most engagement from your audience.
Twitter is great for promoting shorter messages. Similar to Facebook, photos and videos do best on Twitter.
Instagram is even more image focused than Twitter and Facebook. The majority of users on Instagram fall into a younger demographic. The site is perfect for painting companies because you can easily showcase your work and portray your brand.
It is important to take advantage of online tools that your audience is using on a daily basis. It's not realistic to put your business information everywhere, but you can easily take advantage of a few of the best resources.
Google My Business: Establishes your business and appear on Google searches. Using this resource, you can make sure Google displays the correct information, like your business phone number, address and important details about your business including services offered. It also allows you to easily respond to reviews and add photos.
Find A Painter: Allows consumers to type in their address to locate reputable painters nearby. Have your company included in this listing by becoming a PDCA member.
Angie's List: Connects consumers with professional home service providers. You can register for an account and promote your business to local potential customers. These connections prove valuable in establishing your credibility.
A great way to get in touch with your current and future customers is through email. Start by creating a list of people you will contact. Once you have a list, develop a series of emails to send to those potential customers.
Focus on how readers will benefit from your company and share something unique and valuable. Try not to focus on asking people on your email list to use your services. You can promote your company, but you will gain trust by providing some sort of unique information, whether it's painting tips or an article about how to increase the value of your home.
In a digital age, it is important to consistently promote your business in different online spaces. If you aren't already, use social media consistently, take advantage of online tools and implement an email campaign for the greatest return on your investment.

If you have been served with a notice of foreclosure (sometimes called a foreclosure complaint), you need to make an informed decision regarding your next step. At the law firm of Daniel W. Uhlfelder, P.A., we can help you understand your options and possibly save your home from foreclosure. It is important to note that in Florida, you only have 20 days to respond to a foreclosure complaint. A knowledgeable attorney can help you through this process.
With an office in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, we provide foreclosure defense services to clients throughout northwest Florida and the Florida Panhandle. Contact us today to arrange your consultation.
You Can Save Your Home. We Can Help.
If you have been unable to make your mortgage payments because of job loss, unexpected expenses or other reasons, you may feel like you have run out of options. Our law firm offers sound advice and legal solutions to help you get through this stressful time. Together, we can explore your options and develop the strategy that is best for you. You have the right to fight the bank's foreclosure action. You can trust our attorneys to skillfully represent you and help you protect your most valuable investment, your home.
As part of our real estate litigation practice, we offer Florida homeowners dedicated and zealous legal help to fight foreclosure proceedings. You have the right to a reinstatement of your home mortgage under certain conditions. Our firm can also negotiate directly with your lenders on your behalf. We may be able to lower your mortgage payments, agree upon a lower interest rate, work out a schedule to pay your late payments and get you back on track with your mortgage payments.
Another option could be to do a short sale on the home. In a short sale, the home is sold for less than what is owed to the bank. While not all lenders will agree to a short sale, an experienced attorney can ensure that this option is pursued fully if it seems to be a good fit with your financial situation.
When appropriate, we can also pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure in your case.
One of the most effective options to stop foreclosure is filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Even if your home is already scheduled to be sold, we can help you prevent foreclosure and work to reduce or discharge your overall debt. If you are overwhelmed with debt and are being threatened with foreclosure, we will fight to protect your rights.
You have rights as a homeowner — even if the foreclosure process has already started. Learn more about your options and get help from an attorney who is focused on helping you save your home.

By Ashimedua Adebiyi	 On Jan 15, 2022
