Top Ten Movie FranchisesShakester Ever watch a movie and couldn't wait for the sequel? Here is my top 10 movie franchises.
The Top Ten
Such an iconic movie saga, the OT is probably the most famous trilogy to ever exist and I'm pretty sure everyone has watched at least one Star Wars film in their life. You probably life under a rock if you've never heard of Star Wars. It is truly iconic, from its films to its characters to scenes to score to planets to quotes ("No, I am your father") And I would say that Star Wars (1977, Episode 4 A new hope) is probably one of the most iconic films of all time and one of the best along with Empire. Yeah the prequels were a let down but The Force Awakens is the biggest movie of all time and this again will, even though created in the 70s, still hold up to our everyday lives like no other before, just check out the success of it - movies, T.V. shows, merchandising, I've never met a person to say Star Wars is bad and that they hate it (excluding those who have only seen the prequels, I recommend to watch the OT first) and celebrities love it, just who doesn't love the BEST film saga to ...more
With the exception of Episodes 1 & 2 Star Wars is the greatest movie franchise of all time with its brilliant story and memorable characters. - egnomac
New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones & Revenge of the Sith - Shakester
Star Wars The Last Jedi proves there is still of yet more to this saga or universe of science fiction of nature. So it deserves the top on the list and that is bar none jist of it. - iliescuV 35 Comments
One of the few franchises where the movies are just as good as the books. The Harry Potter movies left out so many important plot points (partially because some idiot thought it would be a good idea to make movies before all the books were out), has some painful special effects in the earlier movies, and started the annoying trend of splitting the last book into two movies. Back to Lord of the Rings, the books are just brilliant and so full of detail, and the movies manage to translate this pretty well.
Three of the best movies that have ever been given to mankind. A great introduction to the story, a fantastic journey story, and a satisfying, tear jerking conclusion
The whole Middle-Earth saga is the best film series ever. - DesL42
Excellence unimaginable! Such a beautiful soundtrack, excellent actors and characters, and a beautiful story set in the best-known fictional world that there is - Middle-Earth! Winner of 18 Oscars (Including of course, The Hobbit Trilogy), nominated for 800 and winning 475, this is the most award-winning franchise there is! It has won more Oscars than Marvel, Harry Potter, and Star Wars put together! - TolkieniteV 11 Comments
This series should be at the top. Despite the last few movies' being sorta disappointments, this series is the t has got everything you face in life!
Disappointments? Deathly Hallows part 2 was the best one though. - PeeledBanana
Harry potter is a great series trough the life of a boy forced down a hard path which his friends agree to go with him on
Why is this franchise on here, it's not suppost to be on here cents it's one of the worst frachises ever, I hate Harry Potter because it ripped off home alone, my favorite Christmas movie. It is a disgrace to Warner brothers. It has butt humor, toilet humor, too many bad language, twerking, poop, killing, violence, and others. I can't believe Harry Potter is for kids, the books are for kids. But the movies are even worse than the books, and why did it get a spinoff! I hope that's gets canceled too. That should have never happened. Because I just wanted it to stay canceled. Not go on forever. I remember from the very first movie where Harry Potter got a Christmas present, and then he twerked. That is such a bad idea. It's even innaproperate than breaking bad. I also can't believe my boy boy the dvd's for me when I didn't ask for them. But think God I gave them away. I'm glad I don't haft to deal with it anymore. I've not had any of the Lego sets which I'm never getting any of them.
It is the bestV 8 Comments
Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel's The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War Part I, Captain Marvel, Inhumans, Avengers: Infinity War Part II.

It's Sad To See This Franchise Getting Betrayed Since July 2015
The first one was a success because it was new and fresh and creative. The sequel was a huge disappointment.
It messes with your emotions yo
This should be top 3.
I can't believe it's not in the top ten! Saw is a great movie franchise. Lot's of blood and always a twist ending. I'm a huge Saw fan. I can't wait for Saw: Legacy to come out! - Catlover2004
This is one of the amazing and shocking movie series ever it is my all time favorite series!
It teaches you abbout life appreciation.
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
Ahh, Shrek(Only 1,2,And 4)
Funny,Memorable Characters,Great Animation,etc
Awesome franchise, the 1968 Planet of the Apes was awesome, then things started to go a bit downhill but then years later, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was made and it was INCREDIBLE, and then The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes came in 2014 and it was even better, and then War for the Planet of the Apes came and remains the best, I adore this franchise. - PeeledBanana
More Like One Of The Worst
It Was Good At First
But Then Revenge Of The Fallen Ruined It All
Underrated. I love them. I don't need advanced plots in a movie, that's meant for entertaining through visuals
The original franchise went on way too long,and the reboot was actually pretty good. IT HAD SOME GOOD TIMES, ( 2: the wrath of khan, 2007 remake, into darkness, III: the search for spock, VII the journey home, First contact, beyond.) AND SOME BAD. (nemesis, final frontier, IV.)
My dad loves Star Trek, so do I. My favorite character, is Spock. Here's the intire cast, William shatner (1931-) Leonard nimoy (1931-2015) deforest Kelley (1920-1999) James doohan (1920-2005) Nichelle Nichols (1932-) George takei (1937-) Walter Koenig (1936-) I still miss Leonard nimoy deforest Kelley and James doohan. One had emphysema, one had stomach cancer, and one had pneumonia. That is sad. But it's still a good cast.
Lethal Weapon I, II, III & IV - Shakester

Drawing of Thor
Done for a Marvel Licensing book. I'm sure it's lost to the four winds now, since Marvel abandoned hundreds of thousands of dollars of licensing artwork in the early 2000's. If I remember right the department had me copy the pose from something John Romita Jr. did.

This house buying and moving thing has been one thing after another. I am sure there is more to come with only one day left till load up. First, I still have tons of stuff to pack and have run out of boxes. It took me two weeks to come up with the ones I had. It's going to be next to impossible to find more in this town in one day.
But then, to top things off with a cherry....I get up early this morning because too many things are going through my head. Decide to get on the laptop to distract myself and check the weather for tomorrow. What the hell????? Who is this Hermine and where did she come from? Apparently a tropical storm formed at the south tip of Texas last night and is supposed to rain like a mofo on us the day we are loading up!!!!!!!!! Yep, there it is....the big honking cherry on top of everything! Personally I think the devil has enough to do playing with the liberals in gov't.....there is no reason to be picking on me!!!!!!

On the path from the hotel to the beach grow Boronia bushes. Although it is a bit early in the season, they are beginning to bloom. The stem is much like rosemary and when crushed, has a smell like anise.
All over the beach we find these small balls of sand.
These are created by the sand bubbler crab in a most interesting way.
All over the island, one finds creeks that drain into the ocean. These are not your usual flows of water. It is not the result of draining an area of rain water. The water is forced under pressure from the fresh water in and under the island and bubble up to form these flows of free water into the sea. You'll see more about this in later posts.
The holes in the sand made by the rays makes an interesting photo.
This sunset is from our send day on the island and there were a few more people around. this made for some more interesting photo-ops to silhouette against the setting sun.
And the folks walking along the shore all day left some interesting impressions.
The clear sky and section of empty beach make for a serene scene. What you see in the distance, just along the horizon is the mainland at River Heads.
The canoe sitting on the beach is a reminder of all the active people at the resort. You'll notice how calm the water is. This is a channel, a well protected area stayed very calm during our visit. Later, I'll show scenes from the ocean side and it is only slightly more active in the pleasant weather we had.
Playing in the sand is a pastime for everyone.

That water is finding it's way to White River and on down the line to the Mississippi. It was some serious rain. Places not far from us had road closings and I'm sure when the water goes down there will be damage. The good news I've heard of no one in our immediate area hurt by this monster rain.
Today we drove to the Guion Arkansas where Hubby grew up and where we lived for a while as a young married couple. The waters are receding but are a long way from be normal.
My heart goes out to those down steam as the tributaries add to the volume along the way.

Anyone questioning the effectiveness of the Obama administrations attempt at righting the U.S. financial ship (which was taking on significant amounts of water pre-Obama), should read this article from London's Financial Times (link). Here is a portion of the article which clearly spells out the current state of financial affairs in the U.S.....
"...his stimulus bill has clearly made a significant contribution to stabilizing the economy since its passage in February. His cap and trade bill to reduce carbon emissions passed the House of Representatives in June. He has set in motion significant overhauls of the financial regulation and health care.
Second quarter gross domestic product declined by only one percent, compared to 6 percent in the first quarter. House prices have stopped falling, and in some markets, are actually rising; sales in new homes actually jumped 11 percent from May to June. Big banks are recovering, and some have made enough profit to pay back the borrowed TARP funds. The S & P 500 index is up 48 percent from its low in early March. Best of all, the nation lost the fewer jobs in July than most pundits predicted. The unemployment rate has actually declined slightly to 9.4% (much to the conservatives chagrin, who predicted 10%).Are we out of the woods yet? Clearly not, although there is plenty of statistics to suggest President Obama has stopped the bleeding. Needless to say, the recovery program has involved significant amounts of spending, some of which, such as TARP and the bailout of some financial institutions, we fully expect to recover, and are already receiving some pay backs from the larger banks already. The much maligned "cash for clunkers" auto buy back program has proven to be a huge success, riding our landscape of older high polluting vehicles, getting cash back into the economy, and the only current issue is spot shortages of automobile inventories at local participating car dealerships. Is an income tax hike in the offing? Maybe. It would be a short term solution to reducing the deficit, although small enough on the lower to middle class to have a marginal effect on economic sales growth. Clearly, our financial health will get a much needed shot in the arm once we reduce the amount of money spend waging two "wars" in the Middle East, which has, and continues to be draining our economy.
Out of the woods? Not nearly, although considering the positive numbers in our economy today, it night be a decent time to consider moving a small portion of our portfolios back into the stock market in smart, conservative blue chip stocks. Anyone who follows the market has seen significant increases in some sectors, and anyone smart enough to buy B of A has reaped major profits.
The point being that it is time for the nation to get their chins up, and be more positive about the future. All of this negative rhetoric is only serving to delay our recovery. If we can achieve a paradigm change in attitudes, consumer confidence will grow and 3rd quarter numbers will be even more positive than the 2nd. Out of the woods? No, but we are clearly on our way.

I've had a million things going on lately so the blog has been neglected. So many of the projects I work on now don't come our for a year or so & with a packed schedule sadly there has been little time for NEW art! (a HUGE no- no to post any work before it hits the market) Gone are the days were I make one print & sell it. Now I'm working on multiple large collections & while super exciting leaves less time to play & experiment. (which is originally what I had hoped for my blog)
On that note... Here's a little something I did give myself a bit of time to play with.
When thinking of things I love pattern & color always are at the top of the list!

Up, Up and Away Grill Sloppy Joes
Up, Up and Away Grill Sloppy Joes
3 lbs. hamburger meat
1 pkg. sloppy joe mix
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup water
12 hamburger buns
Spray bottom of Dutch oven and heat over grill. When a drop of water dances in the bottom, it is hot enough to add the hamburger meat. Use spatula to break meat apart and scramble until done. When done, add mix, sauce and water. Stir well and let simmer on the back part of grill for about 20 minutes. Serve on buns. Tossed salad and chili beans make excellent side dishes.
Chili beans
Large can of pork and beans
1 can chopped tomatoes with spices
1 pkg. chili mix
Toss together in a Dutch oven and heat. Serve with Sloppy Joes and tossed salad. (I take pre-packaged salad in an air tight serving container that is kept cool. When ready to serve, I just open air tight container and allow everyone to serve themselves and add their favorite bottled dressing.)
Note: If saving left-overs, store in air tight containers and keep cool until heated over grill again.
Up, Up and Away and Happy grilling! Meals with a message often has recipes for grilling.

ANYTHING is a photo op and a story if you just open your eyes WIDE and pay attention to what is all around you!?! Now, don't get me wrong. I do appreciate all of the gifts and the beauty that Mother Nature offers us daily with flowers, trees, bugs, plants, sunlight and... Yet, as I sit and contemplate it all, LIFE in all of its entirety offers us the same beauty, images and experiences.
Today, I had a scheduled appointment to get a touch up and trim. Now, when this happens, there is half an hour of lag time while the color gets to the roots and makes them 'match' the rest of the hair. So, I started out reading Nature Photographer...ok, enough of that. Why not just look around where I was and focus on the HERE AND NOW. I did and I am sharing my views with you in this here and now!! It is truly amazing when you stop and look really closely at what is around. One of the hairdressers - maybe I should call her a 'salon artist' - questioned what I was doing. When I got excited telling her that I was going to creat a PhotoStory 'A DAY AT THE SALON'...well, sad to say, she was only concerned that one of the stations was dirty!!
I had tons of pictures by then, so I quietly put the camera away and just became 'more beautiful' on the outside to match my joy and beauty on the inside!! What's up with you??

Horwill, J.
1. The plaintiffs lent a sum of money on a promissory note to the late mahant of the Lakshminarasimha Swami Mutt at Haradakhandi and have brought this suit against the present holders of the mutt for the recovery of the amount due. Both the lower Courts have found that the debt was not for the necessity of the mutt and was therefore not binding on the present mahant. In giving a decree against the personal property if any of the late mahant, both Courts have held that the arrears of rent due during the lifetime of the late mahant and since collected are the personal property of the late mahant and therefore liable in satisfaction of the decree. An appeal has been filed against this incidental finding, while a memorandum of cross-objections has been filed with regard to the main finding that the debt is not binding on the mutt.
2. Both Courts held that arrears of rent due before the late, mahant's death but not collected by him were his personal property, because of a dictum of Ramesam, J., reported in Lakshmindra Thirthaswamiar v. Vibhudapriya Thirthaswamiar (1922) 44 M.L.J. 187. That too was a suit against a mutt and it was held that the debt was not binding on the mutt. No issue was raised on the question whether rents uncollected would be liable for the debt and no discussion before the learned Judges seems to have taken place. Krishnan, J., makes no reference to the matter. Ramesam, J., at the very end of his judgment, says:
In the result the appeal is allowed so far as the mutt properties are concerned but the plaintiff will be entitled to a decree for the suit sum against the assets of the late Swamiar in the hands of the defendant - such as y, uncollected arrears since collected or investments of the late Swami which have not been incorporated with the mutt properties.
3. It is contended in appeal that this dictum is not in accordance with the law on the point. Whether or no arrears not collected were the property of the late mahant depends upon the larger question as to the powers of the mahant to dispose of mutt property. This question has been considered in a very large number of cases and many of the older decisions are no longer good law. The first case that may be considered as bearing on this question is Ram Parkash Das v. Anand Das (1216) 31 M.L.J. 1 : L.R. 43 IndAp 73 : I.L.R. 43 Cal. 707 which case came up for consideration in Kesho Das v. Amar Dasji I.L.R. (1934) 14 Pat. 379. The latter was a case in which the applicability of Section 92, Civil Procedure Code, to the management of a mutt was considered and it was held that this section did apply and that although the mahant was not a trustee in the legal sense of the word, yet he was a trustee in a general sense for the proper administration of the mutt and its property. At page 385 is an extract taken from the earlier case Ram Parkash Das v. Anand Das (1216) 31 M.L.J. 1 : L.R. 43 IndAp 73 : I.L.R. 43 Cal. 707
This practice (of succession by Chela to Mahant) is ascetic; it involves a separation from all worldly wealth and ties, and a self-dedication to the services and rites of the asthal...this property is held by the mahant as its owner, and the succession to him in such property follows with the succession to the office. The nature of the ownership is, as has been said, an ownership in trust for the mutt or institution itself, and it must not be forgotten that although large administrative powers are undoubtedly vested in the reigning mahant, this trust does exist, and that it must be respected.
4. This reference to the ownership of the property by the mahant had given rise to some miss-understanding and their Lordships had to point out that the mahant had no proprietary-Ownership of the mutt property nor did the property vest in him in trust (in the English sense) for the mutt. In Vidya Varuthi v. Balusami Aiyar (1921) 41 M.L.J. 346 : L.R. 48 IndAp 302 : I.L.R. 44 Mad. 831 the law on the subject was very fully and elaborately discussed, the Board there confining itself to the question whether a mahant was a trustee in the English sense. Their Lordships concluded from the cases cited before them that the mahant had very large powers of disposal over his property and was not restricted in his dealing with the property as he would be if he were a trustee in the legal sense 01 the word. The cases were summed up at page 847 in these words.
From the above review of the general law relating to Hindu and Mahomedan pious institutions, it would prima facie follow that an alienation by a manager or superior, by whatever name called, cannot be treated as the act of a 'trustee' to whom property has been 'conveyed in trust' and who by virtue thereof has the capacity vested in him which is possessed by a 'trustee' in the English law.
5. Nowhere in this very long judgment did their Lordships give countenance to any suggestion that the head of a mutt had any proprietary interest in the mutt property or its income, nor does such a contention seem to have been put forward before their Lordships. Mr. Lakshmanna, for the respondents, has drawn my attention to the passage set out at the bottom of page 850:
Ordinarily speaking, the Sajjadanashin has a larger right in the surplus income than a mutawali, for so long as he does not spend it in wicked living or in objects wholly alien to his office, he, like the mahant of a Hindu Mutt, has full power of disposition over it.
6. This sentence does not help the plaintiff, for it shows that although alienations by a mahant cannot ordinarily be questioned, yet he cannot spend money entirely as he pleases on objects of vice or on objects wholly alien to his office. Nelliappa Achari v. Punnaivanam Achari (1926) 52 M.L.J. 415 : I.L.R. 50 Mad. 567 is another case under Section 92, Civil Procedure Code, and contains the same finding that the mahant holds his property under a kind of constructive trust. The only case to which my attention has been drawn and which contains anything which might suggest that the mahant has a personal interest in the property is Srinivasa Chariar v. Evalappa Mudaliar (1922) 43 M.L.J. 536 : 49 I.A. 237 : I.L.R. 45 Mad. 565 . This was a case of a dharmakartha and their Lordships were careful to distinguish his position from that of the head of a religious institution. They say:
The position of dharmakartha is not that of a shebait of a religious institution, or of the head of a mutt. These functionaries have a much higher right with larger power of disposal and administration, and they have a personal interest of a beneficial character.
7. Their Lordships were not concerned at all in that case with the powers of a mahant; but the passage does not necessarily mean more than that he may use mutt property to a reasonable extent for purposes that are not strictly speaking for the benefit of the mutt. There is no reason to think that any principle was here laid down that would conflict with the very many cases in which the fiduciary nature of the office of the head of a mutt has been emphasised. Niladri Sahu v. Mahant Chaturbhuj Das (1926) 51 M.L.J. 822 : L.R. 53 IndAp 253 : I.L.R. 6 Pat. 139 has been quoted to show the large powers of the mahant to alienate property, even for purposes that may be considered to be extravagant; but in that case it was found that the immediate cause of the borrowing was the mutt's need for money to carry out and pay for its services; and it was therefore held that it was only right that as the money was needed by the mutt, the money should be repaid out of the mutt properties. A receiver was therefore appointed to manage the properties and make the mahant an allowance. The mutt properties were certainly not attached on the ground that the mahant had a free power to dispose of the income of the mutt as he chose. A number of cases have also been quoted to me in which the well-accepted principle was reiterated that for the purpose of limitation time does not begin to run against the mutt for alienations made by a mahant until his death; the reason being that a mahant has power to alienate, even though the alienation may not be strictly necessary. In Mahanth Ram Charan Das v. Naurangi Lal (1933) 64 M.L.J. 505 : L.R. 60 IndAp 124 : I.L.R. 12 Pat. 251 it was held that if the whole property was alienated, such an act would be void ab initio; but that the alienation of one item would be valid for the mahant's lifetime. Although therefore the head of a mutt has power to alienate some part of the mutt property without question, it is always subject to the restriction that he must not mismanage the property or allow the institution to suffer from any of the alienations made by him.
8. I have been at some pains to discover whether in any of the cases quoted before me any distinction could be drawn between the powers of a mahant over the income from the mutt property and the corpus. In some of the old cases it was suggested that the mahant had complete power over the surplus income of the property after meeting the running expenses of the institution; but I find no warrant for such a distinction in any of the cases that have been quoted and which may be considered to be still good law. It would seem reasonable to suppose that income which arises out of mutt properties belong to the mutt; and so it has been held in Arunachalam Chetty v. Venkatachalapathi Guruswamigal (1919) 37 M.L.J. 460 : I.R. 46 I.A. 204 : I.L.R. 43 Mad. 253 . In that case there was a dispute between the gurukkal, who was the head of a mutt, and some chetties who had been in possession of certain items of the mutt property for 90 years or more. They did not claim any beneficial right in the mutt property; but the gurukkal who was suing them for the return of the property claimed it as his own. A question arose as to a sum of Rs. 20,000 which was accumulated income. The Subordinate Judge declared that the gurukkal was entitled to the entire beneficial enjoyment of the income of the suit villages during his life and continuance as the spiritual head of the institution, subject only to the maintenance of the institution. Their Lordships of the Privy Council say at page 271:
It is plain to their Lordships that this (reasoning) would be not only a. subversion of the usage and custom of the mutt, but would be a violation of the law applicable to such institutions. A fair test to be applied in such cases is to demand what is the true principle or nature of the administration of surplus income. It is, of course, the duty of a trustee to refrain from the personal enjoyment of such surplus and to add the same to the capital of the estate to be administered; and this law also applies to the property of a mutt or asthal, and that whether the title to the same is in the gurukkal as spiritual head of the institution - which is an ordinary case - or is in trustees like the chetties according to the usage and custom of the institution, as in the present case.
9. Basudeo Roy v. Mohant Jugal Kishwar Das (1918) 35 M.L.J. 5 dealt with acquisitions made with the income of an asthal and it was held that they were subject to the same trust as the original property. Although that case might be distinguished, yet it cannot be doubted that their Lordships were considering who had the title to the income from mutt property; for the argument was raised before them that such income was the personal property of the mahant. That argument was repelled. It would therefore appear from the various cases quoted that no distinction can be drawn between liquid assets or the income of the property and the corpus itself. All money arising out of the mutt property becomes itself mutt property the moment it is received on behalf of the mutt; and no special act of appropriation is necessary to convert it into mutt property. On the contrary, such receipts remain mutt property unless and until the mahant choses to spend them in pursuance of the large powers given to him. Admittedly upon a mahant's death the property vests in the successor and such liquid assets as are available and have not been otherwise disposed of by the late mahant pass immediately to his successor.
10. The title of a mahant to the money collected after he became mahant but which was due before the death of the late mahant would be much stronger; for the property had never passed into the hands of the late mahant and could not, by any reasonable theory put forward before me, be considered as the property of one who was dead before the property came into existence. The lower Courts were therefore wrong in holding that the rents not collected by the late mahant were his personal property, liable for the debts incurred by him.
11. It is argued that no appeal lies with respect to this finding because no mention of the rents is made in the decree. I have however little doubt that if the plaintiff sought to execute the decree and the mutt raised the objection that the rents were not the property of the late mahant, the executing Court would hold that the point had already been decided against them. The judgment can always be referred to in interpreting the decree, and I think that this appeal was very properly preferred. The appeal is therefore allowed with costs in all Courts.
12. It seems not to have been contended in the lower appellate Court that the money received by the late mahant was used for purposes binding on the mutt; but it was argued that the money was utilised in financing some litigation upon which the Zamindar of Chinnakimedi had embarked and that the money had been subsequently repaid and credited to the general funds of the mutt, and so presumably utilised for mutt purposes. It is suggested that the money upon receipt from the Zamindar of Chinnakimedi was used partly in discharge of the bills of food purveyors and partly in meeting the necessary expenses of the late mahant in defending himself against a charge of murder. There is certainly room for doubt whether the money recovered from the Zamindar of Chinnakimedi can be connected with the suit promissory note; but even if it can both the lower Courts found that it had not been proved that the money received in execution was applied in discharge of debts borrowed for purposes binding on the mutt. Although money was paid to food purveyors it does not appear t8 have been paid to them for food supplied; but rather to discharge the principal and interest due on debts incurred for purposes unknown to us. With regard to the criminal case, one cannot say without reference to the judgment and other evidence furnishing us with information regarding the nature of the case against him whether he was justified in using the mutt property to defend himself. One can easily think of circumstances in which such a spending would not be warranted, although in many cases it would. The lower Courts are not even satisfied that any part of the money went to meet these expenses. I am not prepared therefore to disagree with the finding of the lower Courts on either of these points.
13. It is now argued for the first time, and that only in reply, that the mere fact that the money was received in the general accounts to the enrichment of the mutt gives the right to the plaintiff to have recourse against the mutt property. I do not think that any such general principle can be laid down that would be independent of all considerations how the late mahant had used the surplus money in his possession. Certainly it is not an unmixed question of law and I do not feel justified in going into this question now. The memorandum of cross-objections is dismissed with costs.
14. Leave to appeal is granted with respect to the main appeal. With respect to the memorandum of cross-objections leave is refused.

It's been a while since I last posted. Basically this is what happened.
Binge, workout, restrict, workout. Binge, workout, restrict. ect.
:( Yeah I know. It sucks, but somehow I managed to lose 2 pounds.I have absolutely no idea how that's possible but yeah it happened. I'm definitely not going to post my weight until I get down to my first gw. It's so embarrassing and high, just thinking about it makes me want crawl into a corner. It's basically been a roller coaster right now. I've been working out like crazy though. Since I last talked I went on the hike I was already talking about. Plus went on another 8 mile hike and have been working out everyday for the past 3 days, I'm going again tomorrow.
For some reason PT is shut down temporarily because SOMEBODY AKA 'ZANDER' didn't pay his monthly bandwidth crap. I reallly really need to go on. I need some support bad. Let me explain...
Today started out fine. Woke up, had a cheese stick (80 cals, mom didn't get the low fat 40 cal ones. -_-), went to the gym and burned 300 calories. Did two sets of lunges at 60 sit ups. Would have done more sit ups but my mom wanted to leave. -_- Later in the day around I had Top Ramen (only half of it, 190 cals.), and that was going to be all I had. The total for the day would have been 270, but my MOTHER came back from the store witch my favorite cereal, captain crunch, and my favorite candy, crunch bar. (both have the word crunch in it....weird. >_>)
In the end, I had 3 bowls of captain crunch, (140x3= 460), yogurt (110), two cheese sticks (160), crunch bar
(150) and some noodles from dinner which idk were the calorie count on those but I imagine around 200.
TOTAL? 1,080 calories binge. FUDGE, that's like a third of a pound. Plus the food from earlier, it all comes to 1,350. LKJDFHGLSKDFJGHLS. Yes. Thats what my mind is thinking.
So because of this, I was in a very unstable mood. Plus, getting cramps because of my stomach or that time of the month. My dad took me out to practice driving. Cutting this short, I basically got yelled at because I went without looking. He said AND I QUOTE "what the fuck is WRONG WITH YOU!? You could have ran into that car?! ARE YOU THAT STUPID!?". And some other stuff. This made me start crying in the car and I drove strait home. I couldn't think, my mind was a blur.
I ran upstairs and crouched over the toilet crying, shoving my fingers down my throat. I gagged but nothing happened. I am stupid, my dad was right. I knew that I couldn't purge, I've already tried before and nothing happened. But yet I tried for the next 10 minutes, crying and leaning over the toilet. At the end I started having an anxiety attack so I started a bath for myself. I turned the heat way up so I would be able to stun my nervous system and make it so I couldn't feel anything. (this works, I do it to mosquito bites). I Made so many bubbles that they were over flowing from the tub, I couldn't even see the water. The only water I could see were spilling from my eyes.
My grandpa told me once that baths always make you feel better when your sick.
It doesn't work anymore.

Definition of North Atlantic / Liberal Counties
The liberal countries are by definition those in which the social role of the state is relatively limited and the role of the market and private sector relatively large….Market institutions and liberal ideology developed strongly.
The liberal "Anglo-American" model is more widely recognized as a concept. It includes the United Kingdom and Ireland. Canada and the United States are discussed but not emphasized in this course.
In all of the countries:
-commercial newspapers developed early without much political involvement
-there is an informational style of journalism
-political neutrality is strong in the press, except for Britain
-journalistic professionalism is strong, except for Ireland
-public broadcasting and regulatory authorities are politically insulated
J.S. Mill wrote that British press was influenced by "commercial money-getting business and religious Puritanism." Protestantism played an important role in the development of literacy because of the emphasis that all men should read the word of the Lord.
There was also an early expansion of the market and social classes. In the 1700's in Britain, there was a decrease in royal power and increase in laissez faire economic policies. Politics became more of a rational inquiry discussed with common sense. But the first official daily press The Daily Courant, was financed by the government.
This promotion was designed by and is named after the "Tea Party" American General Christopher Gadsden.
Britain is known for "taxes on knowledge," started with the Stamp Act of 1712. This tax was imposed through the colonies on newspapers, pamphlets, advertisements and paper. This was one of the main conflicts between Britain and the US. However, when it was announced, the US First Amendment was interpreted as too narrow by some because it seemed to leave regulation to states, or as too general without direct punishment for issues like libel.
Point to consider, p. 203
In the liberal model "the increasing value of newspapers as advertising mediums allowed them to gradually shake off government or party control and to become independent voices of public sentiment." This view was challenged by revisionist scholarship …which saw the commercialization of the press as undermining their role in democratic life, first by concentrating media power in the hands of particular social interests – those of business, especially – and second, by shifting the purpose of the press from the expression of political viewpoints to promotion of consumerism.
Commercialization is an increase in the market emphasis of newspapers, through advertising and efforts to increase circulation numbers with more interesting content. Though the traditional paper newspaper is being replaced by the internet, the paper is still relevant in the North Atlantic and Central European Countries. Google research has revealed that advertisements that appear in newspapers and their websites reinforce confidence in products and services. A study commissioned by Google, shows that consumers trust newspaper ads, and many times look at both newspapers and the Internet to evaluate and make purchases. According to the NAA, 67% of people who research products and services after seeing newspaper ads will then go online for more information, while 70% of that group will end up buying the product or service after doing more research.
Looking at the winners of Europe's Cannes Lions advertising awards in the print and news category for 2008 show very nostalgic themes.
Volkswagen's "product recall" ad campaign, PON's Automotive Handel - DDB Amsterdam
Vintage cars, Mattel Germany, Matchbox, Ogilvy Frankfurt
James Brown record album, Radio Nova, Paris, Y&R France, Boulogne Billancourt
Commercialization freed the newspaper of government subsidies but the news did not loose all political ties as many media magnets became political players. Hearst sought Democratic nomination for president and Lord Beaverbrook was quoted as saying he ran newspapers "purely for the purpose of making propaganda."
William Randolph Hearst. 2nd from left
Frenchman Alexis Tocqueville
Alexis Tocqueville wrote in Democracy in America " a newspaper can survive only if it gives publicity to feelings or principles common to a large number of men." The liberal countries are not known for party papers, with a few labor papers in Britain and Ireland. In America, the largest subculture media is Spanish language media. In Britain, class differences are visible between quality serious press for the upper class and tabloid press favored by the middle and lower classes. Ireland imports Britain's tabloid press. Britain's great number of papers comes from an early nationalized press. In the US, there was a slower move to nationalism with The New York Times not even national until the 1980's.
Political Parallelism
The liberal countries use more "fact centered discourse," with information and neutrally narrative styles. The neutrality means there is a low level of political parallelism, with Britain at the highest. In the US party affiliations of newspapers are normally vaguely implied.
Point to consider, p. 210
The use of the term "neutral" to refer to the Anglo-American style of journalism is not meant to imply that it is literally "value free" or without a point of view…the point is that these media position themselves as a catchall media cutting across the principal lines of division between the established political forces in society.
Britain is characterized by moderate pluralism with an orientation toward the center. However, when the "common citizen" editorializes, it normally takes a right wing, nationalist, anti-communist stance with traditional gender and social views. The quality papers of Britain are the most subtle in political style, similar with The New York Times. The BBC and Independent Television companies act under requirements of impartiality.
Professionalism is strong in the North Atlantic except for Ireland. In the US the pay of journalists was at first low which resulted in low ethical standards as journalists could be easily bribed to fabricate or embellish news. The "yellow journalism" of the early 20th century eventually subsided. Perhaps due to commercialization, the news is rooted in an ideology of customer or public service.
Rupert Murdoch built his experience in British media
The author mentions that media owners are considered manipulators of information. The film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington shows the press as unwilling to report news. Australian Rupert Murdoch started with British news in 1969 and did not initiate his manipulated American news until the 1990's. Britain has the highest problem of slanted news after Italy. Many journalists describe "editorial interference," with up to 1/3 of stories changed to enhance interest (p. 227). Britain has several press councils for journalists such as the National Union of Journalists. Ireland however has no news council or complaints organization. The general North Atlantic model is self-regulation, as even when advising bodies exist they are relatively hands off.
Point to consider, p. 226
The idea of what is professional also varies. Some people consider a professional journalist one who works the news for a tabloid. There is also a different between the American idea of professional as neutral and the European idea of professional as demonstrating independent judgment and authentic subjectivity. To the Europeans, the American were not "honest witnesses."
The Role of the State
The North Atlantic States encourage a capitalist society. There was some past subsidies, such as reduced postage and exchanges of papers. The US has the first amendment which guarantees press freedom and means overall much less regulations than in Europe. In Britain the freedom of the press is more of a cultural tradition. However the Official Secrets Act prevents reporting information which could risk national security. Ireland is a post-colonial state. Public broadcasting has been dominant.
Point to consider, p. 233
The relation between the state and media is not solely a matter of regulation, subsidy and state ownership. It also involves the flow of information – including images, symbols, and interpretive frames. And in this sphere, it is not at all clear that the media and the state are more separate in Liberal countries than in the other two systems studied here: though the rhetoric of the Liberal countries tends to stress and adversary relation between the media and the state. ..both state officials and journalists claim a kind of neutral authority.
Interestingly, a study revealed that the leading media countries with nuclear power, the US, Britain and France, had the highest degree of censorship.

More on the state
The North Atlantic countries are considered moderate pluralized but they are also individually plural and consider themselves providers of information to the common man or woman. Britain however bans churches and political parties from having a press license which is encouraged in other places like Scandinavia. Public broadcast is controlled by the majority party or it must be separated from the political party. Issues of clientelism, of preferential information, are observed in Ireland. In the US, the press appeals to the government through lobbying which has reached $28 million a year.
The liberal countries are
-early industrialized, commercialized
-limited government involvement, except in Britain
-moderate to individualized pluralism
-majoritrainism, meaning majority control of public broadcast.
The development of a commercial press has resulted in professional journalists who make "fact centered" news. Britain and Ireland have greater public broadcasting systems and more party press parallelism. But Britain has the lowest level of reader trust in the media at only 15%! Overall the North Atlantic are not the leaders of new production but it is the central European countries we study next.

Andrew Strong e-mailed me and asked me to help him out with some plays he was writing for camp. He had completed two and a half and due to a long and drawn out story that's not mine to tell, he was looking for help completing the other two and a half. His plays focused on two characters, two time travelers called The Professor and HG. Each night, campers will sit down and watch these two characters bumble their way through time, searching for a treasure, and learning a great deal more than they actually find. The scripts are that fun mix of comedy and drama that all good camp skits are and with having worked at camp for four summers, how could I say no?
It's interesting, working with and within someone else's framework. Andrew gave me all the freedom in the world. I really could write anything. There were a few guidelines, a few do's and don't's, but most of those barely needed to be mentioned. With a few encouraging words, he unleashed me.
He wanted 20 pages and I gave him 18. I'm still waiting to see what he thinks of them. He wanted the play to be about how we have to choose to be happy in order to be happy and so I thought what better juxtaposition of this idea than The Great Depression? I had to make sure the characters still sounded like, and acted like, the characters he had created, which wasn't too hard -- I don't think. The Professor is a Doc Brown sort of guy, all ideas and flailing about, and HG is a no-nonsense smart-ass in the mold of Juno. Both characters were a lot of fun to write -- though, admittedly, my Professor might have strayed from Doc Brown and into the Tenth Doctor a bit, but . . . weeeellllll . . . that's still good territory, I'd say.
I enjoyed the experience and would look forward to doing it again. I've always said I've love to be a part of a writers' room -- I've just always imagined it being on a show I created. The idea of joining a writer's room is both intriguing and intimating.
But I'd be up for it.

McBride, the Press, and the Bloggers
His list of winners includes the UK Blogosphere: ". . . the blogosphere will be increasingly important in the run up to the general election. As TV and print media are losing more professional journalists the boundaries are being blurred as the MSM is increasingly taking the tip from the web as to the current news agenda."
The truth is that people are turning increasingly to the bloggers to find out what is happening in the world. Even though the BBC, Sky, and all the daily newspapers are available online, some of us spend more time reading blogs. "Ah, but how reliable are blogs?" some will ask.
There is a parallel situation in the world of education. Pupils are increasingly doing their research using the internet rather than books, and the comment is made that they repeat things in their essays that they have read online, but which may be of doubtful accuracy. Quite so.
But the fact that words are written on a printed page is no guarantee of their accuracy. And this is particularly the case with regard to mainstream professional journalism. Newspapers are littered with inaccuracies, not to mention selective reporting, leading one to suspect that journalists simply don't care about the accuracy of their stories. A couple of months ago Tom Paine wrote (over at The Last Ditch) "I have long known that journalism (even specialised journalism) about my own field of expertise is always so utterly wrong that mere ignorance on the part of the journalists scarcely suffices to explain it. So why do I assume that there is any merit in their effusions about the subjects I know less well?" The comments to his post indicated that other people had the same experience.
The McBride affair has shown that blogs often have the news before the press. But, more worryingly for professional journalists, blogs may be a more accurate source of information.

Hi, I completely agree with you. In my opinion, the growth of specialised online information (whether in politics, education, whatever) will make people *more* rigorous about considering their sources, not less so. Because nothing comes with a 100% guarantee. I wrote about the very thing you describe here a little while ago: http://tinyurl.com/czcuk9 - it seems that only journalists (and traditional educationalists/academics) are still proclaiming that they know better than everyone else!

Thanks for the link to your site. It's good to know that several people are saying this (and saying it more eloquently than me!)
When Nick Cohen wrote "The best reason for wanting my colleagues to survive is that serious reporters and broadcasters offer a guarantee that what they say is true," my immediate reaction was "OK - so how many serious reporters and broadcasters are there in Britain - and how do I know who they are?"

My background is railway signalling. I watched the reporting of the Paddington crash in all its wild assertions and blatant inaccuracies (not least because the full information was not available at the time and wasn't for some while afterwards) and came to the same conclusion as Tom - if they are so wrong about this, then what about everything else?

I've been called out by a number of friend-readers on my decidedly un-Yelena-like mushiness towards Ye Olde Partner of Devotion in some of these postings. Sadly, I remain undeterred. A caveat is that I tend not to publicize our knock-down, drag-out, hair-pulling, bed-wetting fights because, well, one must have some standards (I also do not wax, at length, about the crazy, trapeze-inclusive, agar agar, shot-in-3D, monkey sex because I do not wish for you to become consumed with jealousy), but some of our shtick I think, biasedly so, is universally awesome and that it would be cruel not to share.
Take for example a curious trend in our online messaging. Aside from Devoted Partner's inability to use an away message for times when he does not wish communication (like during meetings, WebX presentations, and conference calls), we spend some quality time messaging back and forth a couple times a day. If you have ever received and instant or text message from me, you will notice that I have failed to grasp the simplicity of the medium and generally insist on typing in full sentences using capitalization and punctuation. This allows the person with whom I am communicating to feel completely justified in calling me out when I err and mistype.
Devoted partner and I started getting into Cute Overload speak, mostly in response to the puppy pictures we send each other. Example: Him - Sends cute puppy pic; Me - Types 'I has a wants.' But then it just got out of hand. Example: I has make peas for dinner noms. Now I can go several exchanges without using proper verb endings.
But after deciding that we would strive for significant reduction in fatness, we changed our messaging habits. Devoted partner, I think, started it by sending me a comic that included the important message: 'chickenchickenchicken.' Now we were sending one another messages through the cryptographic wonder that is chicken. Example: 'chickenchickenmustdolaundrychickenchicken.'
Are you still with me?
This led to merely removing spaces from many communiques. Example (from today, prompting this post): 'dustbunnystairs' ... 'cornersofbunnyhiding' ... 'livingroomrugofsadcrumbs.' Somehow this makes whatever has been written somehow funnier.
Now I'm not sure what to make of all this. If you've spent any time with us, you know we're not a couple that easily transitions to pet names and googoogaga talk, but this typing style clearly smacks of the same problem. I do know that I find what we type much funnier this way and iwillkillyouwithsharppointysticks seem somehow less serious. My only concern is that I think I now use 'noms' in everyday parlance, and that can't bode well for the preservation of the English language.

What a difference a day makes. Both boys have had a good day today. Joe's has been a little busier than Harry's but both babies are stable and ticking along which is what we what.
Harry is now up to 1ml of milk per hour and is tolerating it well. To put that into perspective, I expressed 700ml yesterday - I literally could feed the whole unit at the moment, but as the nurses keep saying, better too much than too little. They all laugh each time I take in yet another bottle of milk. Each mum has two rows each in the freezer for milk, and mine currently fills my two rows, goes along the back of the freezer, and up the other side. What can I say? Just call me Daisy the Cow ;) I'm a bit rubbish at the whole pregnancy thing, so at least I am good at something.
Both babies are on morphine to keep them sedated so they don't fight against the ventilator, but this morning Harry's dr decided to half his dose to try and prompt him into making a bit more of the breathing effort on his own. Unfortunately Harry now has ants in his pants and won't keep still. His little arms and legs are waving all over the place, and while some activity is a positive sign, we don't want him wasting all his energy as he needs it to grow so the morphine is likely to be increased again for him. Other than that he has had a settled day. I did his nappy this afternoon and helped change the sheets in his incubator which was nice, I feel like a proper mum when I can get involved in his care.
Joe is back under the photo-therapy lights for jaundice, and this morning he had another transfusion of platelets. He also pulled out his line going into the artery in his belly button. This is bad because it's the line they use for taking blood every four hours to check his blood gases, and without it, it means he'd need to have heel pricks to take blood instead which isn't ideal as his feet are so tiny. Luckily although it took a couple of attempts a few hours apart, they managed to site another arterial line in his arm. He has also re-started milk at 0.5ml every other hour. He hasn't had any more bradys today, thank God.
Also today was a very special day for Joe and Harry as they got to meet their wonderful big brothers Ben and Jack. They are going to update the blog tomorrow with their thoughts about the babies. Being here is like living in a little bubble where you forget all about normal life outside the hospital so it was lovely to spend a couple of hours with them and David doing normal family stuff.

Haven't been to this restaurant before. Located same row as Hakka Rang Restaurant.
Used to pass by here but always looked so "up thap". Must have changed management or new renovation. So many hawkers stall here.
Mamarazzi had the Assam Laksa. RM4. VERY disappointing. NO fish at all. Isk isk isk...Papa said should have return back the bowl of Assam Laksa to the stall.
Papa's Duck Egg Fried Kuey Teow. Gosh! they have pork lard! Taste okay except that it was pretty oily.

While Cody and I were out there, my thoughts drifted off to the summer before my freshman year in high school. Punahou had a typing requirement which I think is one of the most useful of many useful things I learned. So, at 9 or 10am we would gather behind these old manual typewriters and a man I remember as Mr. Kamemoto (but I'm likely mixing up memories with that) walked us through the basic steps of learning how to type on a QWERTY typewriter. These days I wonder what it would be like if this class were taught on a DVORAK keyboard instead.
After typing class the four of us (Brandon, Rob, Craig and I) would hustle to the bus stop, and head off to Mie's house just off Kapiolani park. We kept our surfboards there, in her garage. I forget what we ate, I think we all relied on breakfast and anything we had with us on the bus, but I'm sure we all scavenged from the Reynolds' fridge a fair bit too. We would walk across the park, barefoot, carrying our surfboards, then walk down the strip to the police station, and onto the sand in front of the Royal Hawaiian. We then would walk out to the water on the short rock wall and push off, beginning our long paddle out to threes. This activity was repeated every day, regardless of how good the surf was. Some days it was forgettable, other days really fun, and a few days were unreal. Then we'd catch a wave in, ride it as far as we could, paddle the rest of the way, shower off, and walk back to Mie's in time to get a ride from Lisa to water polo. We were all too young to have a driver's license, even with Hawaii's very lax requirements which I remember as 15.75 for children of single parents and 16 for everyone else. The beauty of this plan was having our surfboards stored at Mie's since lugging them around without a car would have been problematic (I don't believe surfboards are allowed on the bus) and since Rob and I lived so far away that going back to Kailua after typing and returning for water polo would have been a pointless waste of time.
What do I love about Trestles and especially about threes? I love the inaccessibility. I love that it takes some effort to get into the lineup, although Trestles with a bike equipped with surboard racks is significantly different than trestles without a bike, and even a skateboard makes a bit of difference. I love that threes only suits those willing to work, the paddle out eliminates the lazy and the impatient. I love that you can't really even tell what the break is like from the beach, that you have to either trust the surf report or just dedicate yourself to being there every day to experience the best. I love those long sweeping rights that on the right day seem to go on forever. And there is nothing in the world quite as beautiful as looking over to your left at Diamond Head and over to your right at Pearl Harbor.
All of this got me thinking about how I am affected by difficulty. I am clearly highly motivated by a significant challenge, qualifying for Kona, completing Tabu's class, chasing the girl who doesn't seem interested. But there are also certain things that don't interest me that much, ultraman, Barkleys, Badwater, Bikram, and they all seem to occupy a space of "too difficult" for me. I don't know why there is a line, but I guess I definitely have one.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- With the three leading Republican candidates for president having inconsistent views on abortion and other pro-life issues, some pro-life voters may be looking for an alternative with a strong chance of capturing the GOP presidential nod. Pro-life advocates say Fred Thompson is that candidate and will announce a bid soon.

...this must be love cause its really got a hold of me...
It's Thursday, and that is exciting because Thursday means Stamp Insanity day!! You have no idea how excited i am to be on this team! I adore the stamps:)
So i used Lita on my card today, she is darling:) I coloured her with copics and cut her out with a nestie. I then matter her on a half cut nestie. I don't like the sizes of some of these nesties! lol
My papers are PTI white, basic black and the dsp is from my stash. I used my new border punch along the side and some barbed wire ribbon i had in my stash.
Now for the sentiment i had to move it over a bit from the sketch because i didn't want to cover the image. So i made some banners and stamped a sentiment i had lying on the desk (thought it was perfect for the card! lol). I then found a button in my stash and some thread and that is how that played out.
Be sure to head over to the Stamp Insanity Blog and see what the DT is up too!!

154 Chinese nabbed for online gambling
>> Saturday, September 24, 2016
By Ding Cervantes
CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga – The Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested last week 154 Chinese men allegedly involved in illegal online gambling.
The suspects were collared at their rented unit at the Dong Wang annex building here.
"The sustained effort to weed out illegal aliens and undocumented foreigners continues to gain ground with the help of our partners in law enforcement and the community," BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said in a statement.
The suspects will be deported for overstaying in the country and for engaging in illegal activities. They are being held at the BI office here.

Last night Ron and I were talking about this and whether or not it was worth our while to seek legal advise. I was talking to a wonder friend about this today and she gave me some very good advise...forgive him.
We have held on to this anger for months now, I think it is time to let it go. Keeping such bitterness in our hearts really holds us back from growing in our faith and truly holds Ron back from God's healing touch.
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13

I had not had a dog since our dear, old golden, PB, died many years ago. I really wanted a dog again both as a pet and, as teacher of students with a wide range of needs, I was becoming aware of the documented benefits of animal therapy for stress reduction and socialization. A friend whose daughter-in-law is a GDB puppy raiser suggested I would be a good candidate for a career change dog. About six months after making my first contact, I got a very exciting call and shortly thereafter, Chanel came to live with us and began working in my classroom at Lincoln High School in Portland, Ore. She has been a life changing presence for many of us ever since.
We had been told that Chanel was a bit willful and had a mind of her own, but that she had won the snuggling contest at GDB's Oregon campus! I enrolled for classes with BEHAVE Canine Solutions under Scott Raymond and learned some tips as to how to get the best out of Chanel. Also, we worked with Heather Toland at the Therapy Dog program at Dove Lewis and Chanel passed her therapy dog test last summer.
In the meantime, Chanel had already been working with me at Lincoln where she has won so many hearts. She gives of herself generously to all she meets and we are entranced by her soft spirit, compassion and melting eyes. Chanel has taught herself to greet students when they enter the classroom. She walks around and picks out those who seem to especially benefit from her brief doggy kisses and handshakes. As soon as class begins, Chanel goes back to her big papasan chair and waits until class is over, when she gets down to see everyone out. If a student is upset, Chanel jumps out of her chair and goes to lie beside the person. A social group which includes several students who wanted to make friends has formed around Chanel at lunchtime in my classroom. Supervised walks with Chanel are rewards for some students. Chanel has an instinctive knowledge about needs of those teenagers who are lonely or upset and responds without prompting. We feel the positive aspects of having a therapy dog for students are enormous. On the days when she stays at home, several young people ask repeatedly when she is coming back. Some students visit several times a day.
Social work has not been Chanel's only involvement. Last year, she was asked to play Sandy in the school production of Annie (pictured, above; photo courtesy of Lincoln High School). Karyn Munford, the career change representative at GBD, had told me that Chanel would probably never be totally trustworthy off leash, and I ignorantly assumed she would be on a leash for the play. I had done extensive work with Chanel at our farm and we were taking walks off leash together. Now she licked the noses of the horses next door, instead of wanting to chase them, and came when called, but I was horrified when the play director gave me the script six weeks before the play was to be performed and I learned that Chanel had to be alone, off leash, on the stage, walk across the stage, stop mid-way and continue. I immediately called Scott Raymond and he helped me, along with a student assistant (who proved to have a natural gift with animals), train Chanel for the part. Chanel was a smash hit, in front of full houses, and did an amazing job with the part that had multiple demands. In the middle of the show while Annie was sitting, loudly singing a solo, about sixteen kids were dancing and the school band was blaring, Chanel rolled on her back trying to entice Annie to give her a tummy rub! The crowd loved it. Chanel had plenty of energy left to gently greet the young children in the audience after the performance. My fears of an animal running loose through the crowd were not realized. What a dog!
This June I retire. Some of my students will be devastated at losing Chanel, but she has been invited back to work with the Dialectical Behavior Training Program as our psychologist, sadly, can no longer use his therapy dog due to the animal's illness. We will continue our work through the Dove Lewis program.
Our gentle, clever dog touches so many lives and enhances them. I am indebted to GDB for the privilege of having her.

MIAMI – Manager Rick Renteria remains firm in not moving Travis Wood from the No. 9 spot in the Chicago Cubs' batting order on the days he pitches.
But Wood is making a stronger case to be employed as a pinch hitter.
Wood's reputation as a productive hitting pitcher took a huge leap late Monday night when he hit a pinch-hit double to score Junior Lake from first base with two out in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the Cubs a 5-4 win at Miami.
"He can take all my at-bats for me," starting pitcher Jason Hammel said. "I'll pass on the hitting. If I'm going up there to bunt, I'm happy. If I'm going up there to swing, sorry."
"That's a big spot, and I'm proud of Woody. Just goes to show you his abilities go beyond his pitching."
The hit was Wood's first of the season as a pinch hitter in four at-bats. But overall, Wood is batting .276 (8 for 29) with two home runs and nine RBIs.
"I knew I was coming up that inning, so I'd been stretched out, swinging in the tunnel," Wood said.
With the RBI double, Wood achieved a career high with his ninth RBI of the season with more than half the season remaining.
"I always hit growing up (in Arkansas)," Wood said. "(Signing) out of high school, I didn't have three or four years of college not hitting. I just stuck with it. It's part of my job as a starting pitcher in the National League, I practice it and do the best I can.''
Wood impressed Starlin Castro, who hit a three-run home run in the sixth and matched his 2013 total with 10.
"It's awesome, especially in the 13th," Castro said. "We needed to win that game. He did it for us."
Seven relievers combined to allow two hits over seven scoreless innings.


text: About 2 weeks ago, when the weather was in the 70's, Elphie and I took a nice long walk around the neighborhood and she was in heaven. The weather was warm, there was still snow, and she was able to snow surf! Snow surfing is much like her carpet surfing, where she starts with her nose on the snow or carpet and uses it to glide on the surface and then continues to glide her entire body. The best possible way to describe this action was surfing, so I went with it. Here is a glimpse of her snow surfing:

Headquartered in Thief River Falls, MN, Arctic Cat, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAT) is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and side-by-sides, snowmobiles and parts, garments and accessories.
During FY 2013, ATV and side-by-sides contributed 45% of sales and snowmobiles accounted for 39%.
Disappointing Results and Downbeat Guidance
ACAT reported its Q4 FY 2014 results on May 15. Net loss for the quarter was $1.5 million or $0.12 per share, worse than the Zacks Consensus Estimate for a loss of $0.09 per share. This was ACAT's third consecutive quarterly miss.
The guidance provided by management for full-year fiscal 2015 sales and earnings was also below Street estimates. They expect sales to be in the range of $775 million to $786 million and earnings to be in the range of in the $2.33 to $2.43 per share.
Downward Revisions
After disappointing results and guidance, analysts have cut earnings estimates for current and the next fiscal year. Zacks Consensus Estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 are down to $2.40 per share and $2.78 per share from $3.34 per share and $3.70 per share respectively, 30 days ago.
The following chart shows the declining estimates trend for ACAT. Declining estimates sent ACAT back to Zacks Rank No. 5 (strong sell) last month.
CEO Resigns
On June 2, ACAT announced that Claude Jordan had stepped down as chairman and CEO.
Chris Twomey, who had served as CEO earlier, took over as the interim chairman and CEO while the board started the search for a permanent CEO. ACAT also announced that its CFO Tim Delmore has postponed his previously-announced retirement during this transition period.
Better Play?
Investors seeking exposure to the industry could look at Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (SWHC) which has a Zacks Rank No. 1 (Strong Buy).
The Bottom Line
ACAT was earlier featured as the "Bear of the Day" on February 25. The shares are down more than 20% since then.
While the company is trying to launch innovative new products as well as expand into new market segments and international markets, near-term headwinds will impact the share price. The top management transition adds further uncertainty to the outlook.

FUTA has received a letter from the Treasury Secretary along the lines of a temporary solution to many of their grievances. They, the FUTA have now to decide whether to accept, believe and trust this letter before deciding to get back to work. They are caught in a real dilemma.
On the face of it the letter seems reasonable. However on second thoughts, the track record of the Govt. and PBJ in particular are rather suspect. They must therefore make a ruling on whether it was right to accept a letter from PBJ who has no clout or his Minister who happens to be the President who if he reneges will be shown to be a liar. PBJ lying is not new and part of his behavior, hence the dilemma!!!!
The added pressure of not being paid for 4 months is hurting some of the honest teachers who are committed to teaching students. The dishonest one however who have other means of income by moonlighting in private tertiary academies however are not as badly affected. Some are on Govt. sinecures and have been some of the academics who have denounced FUTA.
Added to them, some in the Medical Faculties have also not joined the strike as many are highly paid Channel Specialists who earn more in a week through the private hospital system than they earn in a month as professors in the state medical system. They use their professor ship to gain a reputation, which then transcends into charging high consultancy rates for a 5 minute consultation.
I presume the letter does not refer to the 6% for state education request. Personally I do not believe it can be done instantaneously as the current system cannot even manage the capital expenditure budget adequately and requires considerable planning before a better managed program of Capital Expenditure for all areas and for a directed increase in Training Top class teachers is even attempted.
Above all, it is important that FUTA obtains a commitment from the Govt. to tackle the areas of immediate need responsibly, and show a commitment for the welfare of the students who have now been badly affected by the strike, Z score fiasco and the lack of tools in their quest for a reasonable education, with employment as a main goal. If this can be achieved then they should return with an added zest to teach their charges with greater dedication.

This particular video was produced by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. You just have to see it to really appreciate how breathtaking our state is.
That's pretty amazing, isn't it? Now get out there and see it for yourself.

This Side of Salvation
By: Jeri Smith-Ready
Pub. Date: April 1, 2014
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Pages: 384
Source: Edelweiss
Everyone mourns differently. When his older brother was killed, David got angry. As in, fist-meets-someone-else's-face furious. But his parents? They got religious. David's still figuring out his relationship with a higher power, but there's one thing he does know for sure: The closer he gets to new-girl Bailey, the better, brighter, happier, more he feels.
Then his parents start cutting all their worldly ties in to prepare for the Rush, the divine moment when the faithful will be whisked off to Heaven…and they want David to do the same. David's torn. There's a big difference between living in the moment and giving up his best friend, varsity baseball, and Bailey—especially Bailey—in hope of salvation.
But when he comes home late from prom, and late for the Rush, to find that his parents have vanished, David is in more trouble than he ever could have imagined.
I really enjoyed This Side of Salvation. I usually stay away from books about religion and/ or cults, but I loved the cover and I am a fan of the author, so I gave this story a shot. I am so glad that I did. The writing was wonderfully done and I loved every single character.
David's parents are convinced that the Rapture, also known as the Rush is going to happen soon. When this occurs, everyone who is worthy is going to disappear and be safe, while God destroys the rest of the earth. You always have to laugh at people who believe religious fanatics such as David's parents. But in this case, Smith-Ready makes you understand. The death of David's older brother, John completely destroyed the family. I can even understand why a young kid like David would turn religious. The way his brother died was horrible and tragic, and David had first hand experience with what happened.
On the night that the Rush was supposed to happen, David and his sister, Mara were at a party. Coming home late, they expect to come home to angry parents, but there parents have disappeared. Neither of them believed that the Rush was going to happen, but what other explanation can there be? I loved trying to figure out the mystery along with David, Mara, Bailey (David's gf) and Kane (David's best friend). All of the characters were written in a way that made me feel connected to them. They were all really fleshed out, especially David.
We only get David's POV in This Side of Salvation, and I think for this story, having one point of view worked perfectly. I think it would have been too much if the author decided to add different POVs. The story is also told during "Now" and "Years, Months, Days, ect Before the Rapture". I liked this aspect of the story and thought it added a lot to it.
Overall, I really loved This Side of Salvation and I can't wait to see what Smith-Ready has in store for us next!
