If Alleged Infringer Doesn't Cross-Appeal Validity of Narrowly Interpreted Claim, He May Not Challenge Validity of Later Broadly Construed Claim
Sadao Kinashi | May 8, 2013
Lazare Kaplan Int'l, Inc. v. Photoscribe Techs., Inc.,
April 19, 2013
Panel: Lourie, Dyk and Reyna. Opinion by Lourie. Dissent by Dyk.
Based on narrow claim construction, the district court issued a prior judgment that patent claims were valid but not infringed either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents. Lazare Kaplan (Patentee) appealed the judgment of non-infringement. But Photoscribe (Alleged Infringer) did not cross-appeal the judgment of validity. On appeal, CAFC broadly interpreted the claims and vacated the judgments of no infringement. The issue of infringement was remanded to the district court.
On remand, Photoscribe moved for summary judgment of invalidity based on the CAFC's broad claim construction, and moved for relief from the district court's prior judgment of validity under Rule 60(b). The district court granted both of Photoscribe's motions. Lazare Kaplan appealed. CAFC reversed both district court decisions holding that the district court abused its discretion by granting relief under Rule 60(b).
地裁は、先の判決で、クレームを狭く解釈し、特許クレームは有効だが、侵害はないと判決した。特許権者Lazare Kaplan社は非侵害判決を不服として控訴したが、被疑侵害者Photoscribe社は、特許有効の判決に関して控訴しなかった。控訴審でCAFCはクレームを広く解釈し、非侵害判決を破棄し、地裁に差戻した。
Lazare Kaplan owns US patent 6,476,351 ('351 patent), which claims methods and systems to make microinscriptions on gemstones using lasers. Lazare Kaplan sued Photoscribe for infringement of patents including the '351 patent. Photoscribe filed counterclaims seeking declarations of invalidity.
Claims 1 and 7 of the '351 patent were at issue in this case. Claim 1 recites as follows:
1. A method of microinscribing a gemstone with laser energy from a pulse laser energy source, focused by an optical system on the workpiece, comprising the steps of:
mounting a gemstone in a mounting system;
directing the focused laser energy onto a desired portion of the gemstone;
imaging the gemstone from at least one vantage point;
receiving marking instructions as at least one input; and
controlling the directing of the focused laser energy based on the marking instructions and the imaging, to selectively generate a marking on the gemstone based on the instructions.
Claim 7 recites a corresponding system claim with a similar final limitation.
The district court construed these "controlling the directing" limitations in the claims as follows: "controlling is based on the marking instructions generated by the operator of the machine, and automatic feedback derived from optical images of the gemstone during the laser burn process." Finding that the accused machines did not use automatic feedback derived during the laser burn process, the district court granted summary judgment of no literal infringement of the claims. The jury found that Photoscribe did not infringe under the doctrine of equivalents.
The district court issued a final judgment that the claims were not invalid and not infringed, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents. Lazare Kaplan appealed the judgment of non-infringement. But Photoscribe did not appeal the judgment that the claims were valid.
In that prior appeal, CAFC construed that the "controlling the directing" includes control based on either automated or manual feedback derived from optical images of a gemstone, before or during the laser burn process. CAFC vacated both the summary judgment of no literal infringement and the jury verdict of non-infringement under the doctrine of equivalents, as both were based on the district court's erroneous construction. The issue of infringement was remanded to the district court.
On remand, Lazare Kaplan argued that only infringement should be retried, but not validity. Photoscribe responded that both infringement and validity were at issue because of the broadened claim construction. The district court agreed with Photoscribe because the validity decision of the jury in the first trial was on the basis of a claim construction which was reversed.
Photoscribe later moved for summary judgment of invalidity of claims 1 and 7, while Lazare Kaplan moved for summary judgment of infringement. Photoscribe also moved under Rule 60(b) for relief from the district court's prior judgment finding the claims not invalid. Rule 60(b) provides, in relevant part, as follows:
(b) Grounds for Relief from a Final Judgment, Order, or Proceeding. On motion and just terms, the court may relieve a party . . . from a final judgment, order, or proceeding for the following reasons:
[(1) to (4) omitted.]
(5) the judgment . . . is based on an earlier judgment that has been reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable; or
(6) any other reason that justifies relief.
Lazare Kaplan argued that the cross-appeal rule should have barred reopening the prior judgment on validity because Photoscribe sought to lessen the rights of Lazare Kaplan under that prior judgment but failed to file a cross-appeal. Lazare Kaplan also asserted that the cross-appeal rule has no equitable exceptions permitting the relief granted by the district court.
Photoscribe responded that prior CAFC decisions permitted the district court to address validity on remand. Photoscribe also asserted that the granted relief was proper under either Rule 60(b)(5) or 60(b)(6). The district court granted both of Photoscribe's motions and denied Lazare Kaplan's motion.
CAFC Decision
CAFC agreed with Lazare Kaplan and concluded that the district court erred by allowing Photoscribe to address invalidity on remand despite its failure to cross-appeal the adverse final judgment on validity.
CAFC noted that it is irrelevant whether or not the concepts of invalidity and infringement are "closely interrelated," but the relevant issue is whether a ruling reversing the validity holding would expand Photoscribe's rights or lessen Lazare Kaplan's rights.
Then CAFC found that a holding of invalidity would extend beyond the determination that Photoscribe's machines do not infringe the claims of the patent. CAFC responded to Photescribe and the district court as follows:
Photoscribe asserts that it should be excused from failing to appeal because it could not have known the issues to raise in a cross-appeal. Photoscribe acknowledges, however, the importance of the "controlling the directing" limitations to both infringement and validity. Claim construction is crucial to any analysis of validity over prior art. . . . . In addition, the district court's construction of those limitations provided the sole basis for summary judgment of no literal infringement. . . . . After Lazare Kaplan II, Photoscribe could have filed a conditional cross-appeal arguing that the asserted claims of the '351 patent would be invalid if we broadened the construction of the "controlling the directing" limitations. The outcome of the claim construction issues would have determined whether that conditional cross-appeal was reached.
We recognize the logic of the district court's decision to entertain the validity challenge on remand in light of the broadened claim construction by this court, based on which the district court stated that it "makes no sense" not to. After all, a new claim construction potentially raises new validity issues. Nonetheless, rules are rules, and the cross-appeal rule is firmly established in our law. The district court thus erred in relying on Rule 60(b) as a substitute for a cross-appeal.
CAFC held that the district court abused its discretion by granting relief under Rule 60(b), and reversed that ruling. CAFC also vacated the finding of invalidity, and remanded the case with instructions to reinstate the original judgment on validity.
Judge Dyk stated as follows:
No principle of patent law is better established than that "claims must be interpreted and given the same meaning for purposes of both validity and infringement analyses." The majority declines to enforce that basic stricture, allowing the patentee to assert infringement on a broad claim construction while permitting it to defend against invalidity using a different and far narrower claim construction. The majority reverses the district court's effort to eliminate this inconsistency through Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(5).
He also noted:
The majority's sole reason for finding Rule 60(b) relief unavailable is the well-established rule that Rule 60(b) cannot be used as a substitute for an appeal. The majority appears to hold that the accused infringer cannot secure Rule 60(b) relief because it is attempting to use Rule 60(b) as a substitute for a contingent cross-appeal. But the majority identifies no case holding that a failure to file a contingent cross-appeal bars Rule 60(b) relief. Rather, the cases cited by the majority involved situations in which the Rule 60(b) movant had lost entirely and failed to appeal.
A party should file a cross-appeal on every issue which might become relevant when district decision is reversed even if satisfied in the overall outcome in the district court.
Is it good policy for the court to encourage (or force) to cross-appeal every adverse judgment for preventive purpose even if the party is generally satisfied with the outcome of the lower court?

Tucson's Map and Flag Center
By Desert Dog on Oct 26, 2010 with Comments 0
I love maps. In a distinctly fanatical way. Always have, always will. I love road maps, trail maps, new maps, and old maps. Antique hand drawn maps make me feel all warm and fuzzy. It started when I was a kid and the Air Force only reinforced my obsession by making me a helicopter pilot. They paid me to pour over maps all day, to cut them, mark them, and study them. Even now I'd choose a map over a GPS any day.
So you can imagine my surprise and joy to learn that Tucson is home to one of the largest stores in the country dedicated to maps! Want topos, international atlases, touring guides, paper, or relief maps? Then you've got to check out Tucson's Map and Flag Center (3239 N. 1st Street). Housed within this nondescript building is, without question, the best selection of maps I've seen in one store. Whether you are planning a three week road trip or an afternoon hike, the Map and Flag Center has got you covered.
This is a locally owned business, and, like all of us, they are feeling the effects of the economy, so before you spend your map money at the national chains why not check these guys out?

Gelding and birthing procedures: Which do you feel?
So this German guy I met who's traveling through China and southeast Asia told a few stories about an experience he had in Australia.
First off, he said he got to see a vet geld a horse. They're like, "Hey, want to come watch?" And he had nothing better to do. My friend said they put the horse to sleep, but still the horse's breathing became really heavy during the operation. He said they used a razor at first and then this big tool that looked like a huge pair of pliers. My friend included more details, but I'll spare some of that here.
Anyway, as he's telling this, my whole body is cringing.
Right after telling that story, though, my friend said another farmer mentioned that when one of his animals – a sheep or a goat or something, I don't remember – was giving birth, if the mother started to struggle for whatever reason, the farmer would reach into the animal's womb and pull the baby out. Again, my friend included more details in the story, but I won't.
After hearing his description, I just stood there in pause.
My friend then added one more detail, one I will repeat. He said whenever he tells these stories back to back, he always gets the same reactions. For the first story, the guys are all squirming. For the second, all the ladies wince.
As soon as he pointed that out, I knew it was totally accurate. The second story sounded rough to me, but I couldn't feel anything in my body the way I did when I heard the first story.
Interesting how that works, huh? Interesting how empathy and sympathy rely so much on genetics, and experiences we can actually have.

Team Lakay's young gun Joshua Pacio fell short of winning the strawweight belt at ONE Championship's event in Yangon, Myanmar.
Pacio established himself in the opening round, defending all takedown attempts of the Japanese fighter and landing counter strikes effectively.
In the second round, the defending champ scored takedowns on two occasions, allowing him to stay within Pacio's guard for a sizeable portion of the round. The 20-year-old Filipino noticeable also resorted to looping overhand rights and uppercuts that glanced Naito.
In the third round, Naito shot in for a takedown and was able to get Pacio's back. He locked in the rear-naked choke and got the tapout soon after.
This is Pacio's first career loss as his record slides to 8-1. Naito, meanwhile, keeps his unbeaten streak going, improving to 12-0. This is the strawweight champ's first title defense and his second consecuive win via rear-naked choke submission.

Some of pop culture's best-known heroes appear in Marvel comic books, and the universe is exceedingly large—enough that Marvel publishes an "Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe" to explain how everything fits together. For those new to Marvel Comics, understanding how the continuity works can make all the difference.
Major Marvel Comics
With the rise of comic book movies, staple names of the Marvel universe, such as X-Men, the Avengers, Spider-Man, and Fantastic Four, have become well known. Others, such as Deadpool, Ms. Marvel, and Dr. Strange, remain more obscure outside of comic book lore. Even the X-Men series can be complicated, given that there are several X-series featuring assorted Mutants—such as X-Force, Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor, X-Treme X-Men, and New X-Men—as well as one-offs starring individuals, such as Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Storm, and Wolverine. The roster for the Avengers is ever changing as well, with series ranging from Uncanny Avengers and Secret Avengers to Dark Avengers and Avengers Assemble.
Marvel Continuity vs. Ultimate Marvel
Marvel's comics exist in a multiverse where many dimensions and alternate timelines exist. The bulk of Marvel's comics take place on Earth 616, though hardly ever referenced in canon. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, for example, exists within a different continuity, as does the Ultimate Marvel comics, a separate imprint of Marvel launched in 2000 as a way to attract younger readers who may not want to have to understand 40 years of comic book history to start reading. Known for a more realistic reality and grittier feel, Ultimate Marvel comics do not shy away from character deaths and heroes becoming evil. Marvel has also explored alternate possibilities with its "What If" comics, which take place in alternate universe.
Marvel NOW!
Marvel has re-launched and renumbered series since its earliest days, but Marvel NOW!, a 2012 initiative, began an overhaul of the entire Marvel universe following its crossover event, "Avengers vs. X-Men". In addition to several new series, it essentially rebooted the existing canon, making changes to character costumes and introducing new storylines. However, not all of its comic book series were affected to the same extent. Some titles, such as Wolverine and the X-Men and Red She-Hulk, adopted the Marvel NOW! label but continued their existing numbering. Others are completely unaffected, such as Daredevil, Gambit, and Winter Soldier.
Marvel Crossovers
With most of Marvel comics taking place in the same universe, one-off crossovers are not uncommon. Larger events, however, tend to launch in mini-series with tie-in issues in connected comics, not to mention prequels and prologues. In Marvel's "Avengers vs. X-Men", "Seige", and Schism" arcs, for example, events playing out in limited edition series as well as tie-in issues from existing series. Typically, Marvel releases crossover events in trade paperbacks with all the assorted issues in one place. Lastly, while DC Marvel crossovers have happened, the events are typically not in the canon.

A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has intervened in the altercation between the national chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, charging leaders of the party to promote the rule of law and due process in the conduct of its affairs.
In a statement issued by his Media Office in Abuja on Wednesday, Atiku, who is one of the national leaders of the APC, asserted that "you cannot break your own rules without creating problems", insisting that the national leadership of the party must live by the rules of internal democracy and respect for democratic consensus.
He spoke against the backdrop of the festering crisis trailing the conduct of the APC gubernatorial primary in Ondo state, and the subsequent submission of the name of Rotimi Akeredolu to INEC as the APC candidate for the forthcoming election in Ondo.
Tinubu's rumoured anointed candidate for the election, Olusegun Abraham, had opposed the emergence of Akeredolu as candidate, expressing disappointment with Oyegun for allegedly overruling the initial decision of the NWC which ordered the conduct of a fresh primary.
On Sunday, Tinubu demanded the resignation of Odigie-Oyegun , accusing him of favouring an aspirant in the gubernatorial primaries in Ondo State and forcing his choice through using a sleight of hand.
He also stated that the national chairman was perpetrating injustice, said the development showed that there was an evil and regressive force within the APC using Oyegun to derail the party's democratic and progressive tenets.
Reacting to this development, the former Vice President charged "the APC on the promotion of rule of law and due process in the conduct of its affairs noting that they are germane to the unity and stability of the party."

Hi Ladies! Sorry I haven't been around a lot lately, I've been quite busy! I have been lurking but haven't had time to post a lot of responses. I wanted to share pics of my girls
Melody and Ashley
Ashley and Melody
Melody, still in the NICU but almost home!
So I knew it was going to be difficult having twins, but I didn't expect having to feed them both every 3 hrs, even at night. DH and I are exhausted and bicker all the time now
I know it will get better! I love these girls so so much!! I just feel bad because when I'm home alone with them and it's feeding time, it never fails that as I'm feeding Melody, Ashley starts screaming because she gets hungry early. I've tried giving her a little more at her feedings to hold her off longer, but she either doesn't take it or takes it and spits it all back up. So I feel bad I have to leave one of them to cry
I started out pumping milk and giving mostly formula, because they're both on high calorie formula, but I think I'm going to stop pumping. I've complained in the past about my acne, and it's actually gotten worse. I've read a lot of women say theirs didn't go away until they stop breastfeeding because hormones are still out of whack. I feel selfish, but I'm in physical pain from it. I have these huge painful cysts all over my back, chest, shoulders, arms, neck and face. My neck is actually swollen, and it hurts to shower from the spray from the shower head. And I don't wear a bra unless I absolutely have to (thank goodness I have a really small chest lol).
Overall things are going well! I hope everybody else is good also!
expecting identical twin girls!!

Negative differential conduction in the Bloch oscillations regime in the hexagonal silicon carbide polytypes 4H, 6H and 8H
The paper discusses an experimental demonstration of Bloch oscillations connected with Bragg reflection of electrons from the first miniband edge in superlattices of different silicon carbide polytypes. The original experimental method was geared towards obtaining a strong uniform electric field meeting the conditions of Bloch oscillations. Direct measurements have allowed observation of the negative differential conduction associated with the Bloch oscillations for polytypes 4G, 6H and 8H, having superlattice constants 5, 7.5 and 10 Angstrom respectively. The most recent result is the negative differential conductance for polytype 8H, which is of special interest since it correlates well with the previously obtained data for 4H and 6H polytypes. In fact, the threshold electric fields of negative differential conductance are 290, 150 and 110 kV cm(-1) for polytypes 4H, 6H and 8H respectively. These data, taking into account the difference of the superlattice periods, are in good agreement with the criteria for the Bloch oscillation phenomenon. (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited.

Editor Rethabile Masilo and publisher Mathew Staunton will present their anthologies, with readings from a selection of the contributing poets.
Rethabile Masilo is a Mosotho poet from Lesotho, who left his country with his parents and siblings to enter exile in 1981, following an attack on his family that killed his 3-year-old nephew, Motlatsi; his elder brother, Khotsofalang, had been killed a few years earlier fighting the government. The family moved through the Republic of South Africa, where they experienced Apartheid, Kenya, and the United States of America. He settled in Paris in 1987, blogs at Poéfrika and co-edits the online literary magazine Canopic Jar. His collections are: Things That Are Silent (2012), Waslap (2015) and the forthcoming Letter to Country. He insists that his greatest wish is for his poems, and poetry in general, to be readily available to Basotho, the people who inspire him to keep writing.
Originally from Coolock in Dublin, Mathew Staunton is a printing historian, printmaker, lecturer, and publisher working in France and the UK. He divides his time between research, teaching, illustrating and editing for Evertype publications in Ireland, printing on a small press at the bottom of his garden, and running The Onslaught Press in Oxford.
about FOR THE CHILDREN OF GAZA
This is an angry book. Assembled during Operation Protective Edge in the Summer of 2014, it took two weeks to make, from the call for submissions to the first hardcopy proof off the press. 40 poets, writers and visual artists from around the world answered the call. Some were fathers, daughters, half-brothers, colleagues, friends, and some were complete strangers. All were angry enough to speak out and offer their work. The aim of the book was much less to accuse than to paint an accurate picture of the reality of Gaza at the time. What was at stake went well beyond the politics of sides. It was a festival of deliberate crime and killing disguised as defense. Bishop Tutu has said that "if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." The work presented here, unlike the non-actions of those who actually have political clout and power, chooses the side of the oppressed.
Mathew Staunton
about TO KINGDOM COME
In 2015 Lieutenant-General Maaparankoe Mahao was killed in Lesotho. As the editor was striving to write a poem from the feelings of that killings, the idea of inviting other writers was born, together with the title, "To Kingdom Come (voices against political violence)". The response has been tremendous, and shows how more than just a few people do care about the prevalence of violence. Although the book was triggered by one event, poets from everywhere were invited to share their feelings about political violence in general, and the result is poems and prose in English, Sesotho and Afrikaans. There are 44 writers in all and almost twice that many poems. Untended, political violence promises to keep stoking humanity's fears, and to send mankind's hopes to kingdom come.
Rethabile Masilo

Welfare reform has become a defining feature of contemporary UK government policy. The impact of welfare reforms varies enormously from place to place and for different types of household.
This report quantifies the impact of welfare reforms since 2010. It shows that the reforms have contributed to a widening of the prosperity gap between different regions of the UK, with families and working age adults worst affected, and knock-on effects to local economies. In total, 83 percent of the loss from the post-2015 reforms can be expected to fall on families. Parallel changes related to tax, the minimum wage, social sector rents and childcare are unlikely to offset these financial losses.

The recent shootings inside a Licking County nursing home has some questioning security at local nursing homes.
But there are things you can look for.
According to nursinghomeabuseguide.org you should check fire exits and entrances. You should make sure people cannot use these entrances to come in or out of the building without people knowing. You should also look for security cameras and ask for their policies on reviewing them.

Welcome to Another State Of Mind Photography.
I began shooting fine-art images of disused institutional buildings for personal projects back in the late 2000's, and through this less commercial, more considered medium, learned to represent the feel and atmosphere of a space as well as simply capturing a functional image of it.

I now provide bespoke high-quality commercial architecture and interior photography which is technically precise, visually distinctive and delivered in the highest resolution or web/publication ready.
Whatever your vision, creation or ideas, my vibrant, evocative and realistic photography can go a long way toward helping your project, business or sale get noticed in order stand head and shoulders above the many other images which compete for your customers' or clients' attention.

Low-Sodium Information
Sodium is necessary to regulate the balance of fluids in your body. But water often builds up in the tissues of PAH patients. When this happens, the heart has to pump harder.
One of the best ways to manage your sodium level is to reduce the amount of salt in your diet. By cutting back on your salt intake, you reduce the amount of fluid in your tissues. This is important because, as a result, your heart does not have to work as hard to pump your blood.
Reduce your salt intake.
- Gradually decrease your salt intake—you will be less likely to miss the flavor
- Don't add salt to the food you are preparing
- Substitute salt with other flavorings, such as lemon juice, peppers, garlic, fresh herbs, or potassium-containing salt alternatives
- Read labels! Prepared foods are often high in sodium
- Be sure your medicines (over-the-counter and prescription) are low in sodium
Follow these guidelines.
- Some physicians suggest that patients with PAH should follow American Heart Association guidelines for individuals with heart failure and limit their sodium intake to 2000 mg per day—about a teaspoon of salt
- Use these guidelines by the US Food and Drug Administration to determine how much sodium per serving is in prepared foods:
- Unsalted: no salt
- Sodium free: <5 mg
- Very low sodium: <35 mg
- Low sodium: <140 mg
- Healthy: <360 mg

Gospel Luke 2:16-21 (New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition)
The shepherds went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

At the moment I am re-reading Finola Kennedy's Frank Duff: A Life Story published by Burns and Oates in 2011. Frank Duff founded the Legion of Mary on 7 September 1921, though for a very long time he did not consider himself the founder. The biographer relates how a friend in the Vincent de Paul Society in Dublin, Vincent Kelly, introduced him to St Louis Marie de Montfort's Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, usually referred to as True Devotionor True Devotion to Mary. Though Frank Duff was almost repelled initially by this book – it seemed to him 'to border on the absurd' – he read it five or six times, encouraged by another friend in the Vincent de Paul Society, Tom Fallon.
After 'the final forced reading' Frank Duff recalled, Without any process of thought leading up to it, something which I could but regard as a Divine favour was granted to me. It was the sudden realisation that the Book was true.
Fifty years later in a letter to Vincent Kelly he wrote, It was definitely that book which threw my life into the Marian channels which it has ever since followed.
Elsewhere Frank Duff wrote, Somewhere in 1919 some of us had encountered St Louis Marie de Montfort's book on True Devotion to Mary. It depicted Our Lady in a devastatingly different dimension to what we were accustomed. The catechism had never shown us anything even remotely like that. De Montfort exhibited her sharply as the Mother of the Christian life, absolutely indispensable, concerned in every grace. The vastness of the role which he attributed to her and the very vehemence of the way in which he describe it gave the initial impression of gross exaggeration. Nevertheless he gripped the mind and forced one to read and enquire. At some stage in this process the conviction was gained that the book was justified and that the common presentation of Our Lady was not.

World Day of Peace
Today is the Church's 50th World Day of Peace. Here is the conclusion of the message of Pope Francis for this day.
As is traditional, I am signing this Message on 8 December, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary is the Queen of Peace. At the birth of her Son, the angels gave glory to God and wished peace on earth to men and women of good will (cf. Luke 2:14). Let us pray for her guidance.
'All of us want peace. Many people build it day by day through small gestures and acts; many of them are suffering, yet patiently persevere in their efforts to be peacemakers'. In 2017, may we dedicate ourselves prayerfully and actively to banishing violence from our hearts, words and deeds, and to becoming nonviolent people and to building nonviolent communities that care for our common home. 'Nothing is impossible if we turn to God in prayer. Everyone can be an artisan of peace'.

2000 Honda Prelude - Consumer Review

Great bang for the buck
By Pete on
Vehicle2000 Honda Prelude 2dr Coupe
ReviewToday (1/26/05) is my fifth anniversary with this car. It has 50,790 miles, and hasn't given me a minute's trouble. 24 mpg minimum, and a lot of the time it gets 26.5 mpg. I think it's a very attractive car, perfect for short commutes. My only gripe is that it is not a very comfortable car, it's noisy, and the ride is a little rough. I can last 30 minutes at a time before I feel the need to get out and stretch. I'll be trading for something more comfortable and more useful. This is flashy personal transportation that handles well. Enough room for a week's groceries in the trunk. No room in the back seat for adults, so forget it, just fold the seat down and leave it that way.
Best FeaturesGood looks, great handling, flip-down seat.
Worst FeaturesNo point in making suggestions, Honda discontinued the Prelude. It needed better seats and a telescoping steering wheel.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns, The Crown of Embers, and The Bitter Kingdom by Rae Carson | Greenwillow (an imprint of HarperCollins) | 2011 – 2013 | Hardcover $17.99
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness. Elisa is the chosen one. But she is also the younger of two princesses, the one who has never done anything remarkable. She can't see how she ever will.
Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king — a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs the chosen one, not a failure of a princess. And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies seething with dark magic are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. And he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.
Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn't die young.
Most of the chosen do.
I really liked the first book in this series, The Girl of Fire and Thorns. There's quite a lot of action from start to finish, which I think makes up for the slower character development… or in some cases complete lack of development, but if you're looking for a quick-paced YA high-ish fantasy, this is it. My main beef was with the religious/magic system, which seems to be based on some combo of Catholicism and some kind of pink-toy-aisle idea of sparkly things = power… shiny gemstones implanted in your belly button make you special? Really? But I know I'm being a grumpy cynic here, and a little eye-rolling over this doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the book all THAT much, so whatevs.
The Crown of Embers is pretty strong second installment… and I'm always a little wary of YA trilogies, because it is so so so easy for the second book to be nothing more than exposition/set-up for the 3rd book, but thankfully that was not the case for this one! It had enough action and character growth to stand up for itself, I think.
The Bitter Kingdom is a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, with plenty of little twists and turns to keep the reader guessing but ultimately gratifying. Still plenty of space for a continuation of the series, too, should the author decide to try it (or space for the reader to let her imagination run free, should she feel so inclined).
Let's get real for a minute: the series as a whole is just a little hokey, honestly. I mean, the entire thing revolves around a princess with a magical gemstone in her belly button for heaven's sake. But it's all super fun anyway if the reader can just get over it. Reminded me of Tamora Pierce's Alanna stories.
That said — and I'm not the only one who's noticed this, based on Goodreads reviews — Carson could have used a way more thorough editor for this series! I try to be forgiving because, hey, mistakes happen, and the story is strong enough to draw me in anyway, but all the little mistakes really started to add up!
Actually, I found myself wishing that the books were done as a full-fledged series rather than "just" a trilogy. Glowing belly jewels aside, I think the story and the world it's built in could easily have been expanded (and in some ways refined) into multiple huge volumes… but maybe that's just me.

I first used this term in the post "The new Carrie Prejean?" I'm using often enough that it seems helpful to break the definition I used there out into a separate post.
Christianist is a term I first heard from Atlantic Monthly blogger Andrew Sullivan — a useful term that to me conveys not Christiantity as religion, but rather Christianity as political ideology. Sullivan, who is gay, Catholic, & conservative — but not a "war of values" social conservative — does not feel any more represented by the religious right than my friend Dianne O'Connell of Immanuel Presbyterian Church does; in an essay written for Time magazine, Sullivan writes, "let me suggest that we take back the word Christian while giving the religious right a new adjective: Christianist. Christianity, in this view, is simply a faith. Christianism is an ideology, politics, an ism."
Hence, a handy term to distinguish the politics of Jerry Prevo & his followers & allies — the ideological contemporaries & descendants of the Moral Majority — from other forms of Christianity found in Alaska, the U.S., & the world.

He hits her, and she stays…
Because after all, he said that she did provoke him.
Because as a child she learned that divorce was wrong.
Because being in love meant being patient.
Because how could she possibly explain this to everyone?
Because she fails to admit that she has made another mistake.
He hits her, and she stays…

CBR Appoints Jackie Hawkins as Project Director
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), Southeast Region Operations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jackie Hawkins as our newest Project Director.
Jackie resides in Virginia's Hampton Roads. She received her bachelor's degree in Agriculture at Ferrum College and her master's degree in Plant Physiology at Virginia Tech. It was during her studies at Virginia Tech that she came in contact with Center for Bio-Ethical Reform.
Before she joined CBR, Jackie wanted to do more for the pro-life movement. As a busy grad student, she could only spare every other Saturday to go to the nearest abortion clinic to sidewalk council. One day the thought popped into her head: "Wouldn't it be cool if I could work for the pro-life movement full time?" But she dismissed the thought, "Nah, that's not a thing.
CBR came to Virginia Tech with their Pro-Life Training Academy (PLTA) and Genocide Awareness Project (PLTA) in the spring of 2014. Jackie came to understand in a few short hours that pro-life work was her passion and that she wanted nothing more than to work with an abortion-abolishing powerhouse like CBR. Lucky for Jackie, CBR is always hiring full-time abolitionists!
As fascinating as plant physiology is — well, maybe to some people — changing minds and saving babies is a more excellent career decision!
Jacqueline looks forward to working not only with university students, but with the Black community to help end the eugenic slaughter of Black children.
Welcome aboard, Jackie! We're expecting great things from you!
If you'd like to support Jackie (or any of our staff members), it's quick, easy, and secure to support CBR online. Whatever you can do will make a huge difference. To support Jackie's work, designate your gift for "Virginia Project Director (SE-JFH)".

"With Seculo Seculorum, Obsessive Compulsive have made an album that borders on genius and is definitely a contender for album of the year."
"...as aggressive as it is soulful and as dark as it is upbeat. A real eclectic mix of songs that come together to form a refreshingly honest and accomplished piece of work, pass it by at your peril."
"It's angry, it's dark and it's sexy and freshly liberating. It's the record to smash "The Man's" face in with."
"...catchy beats and heavy bass lines incorporate the young band's interpretation of the alt-rock genre, producing an electric atmosphere every punk rocker should experience."
"...At one point angel-like melodies are caressing your ear holes then the vitriol comes and you can hear the anger raging from the speakers…. They've knocked it out of the park with their difficult second album..."
"Alternating from barely whispered vocals to emotionally charged building crescendos… Seculo Seculorum grabs you into a chaotic whirl from one track to the next"
"A filthy sounding record that mixes angsty, Smashing Pumpkins riffs with the raw anger of the Sex Pistols… There isn't a bad song on this album."
"Obsessive Compulsive come out fighting with their best piece of work yet."
"F***ing brilliant... Alice in Chains giving the Smashing Pumpkins a sound beating in a back alley... One of the most genuinely ear-catching rock debuts to reach us in quite some time, cannot be recommended highly enough."
"Girl Rock that ain't so girly and will probably kick your ass... From the dark and sickly to the bittersweet... this record delivers a venomous kiss."
"A brave and exhilarating new force in British rock music, this is one of the most exciting rock albums to emerge from the UK in a long, long time."
"Guitar solos that veer from simple one liners to pyrotechnic works that could easily be spliced from a G N'R album. The three male members of the band ensure that singer Kelii has a bedrock of Seattle rock, California punk and stoner sounds to play around with. "A Cocktail Of Toxins" is a grunge delight whilst "Spit The Medicine" provides heavy industrial / metal... Closing track "27½" is the band at their zenith, cramming all of these ideals into one progressive, nuclear anthem."
"...Intense and grabbing debut..."
"Obsessive Compulsive have energy, anger, intensity and belief... Dreams Of Death & The Death Of Dreams was recorded last year with producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death/Evile). It offers up a cocktail of Killing Joke, Hole and Atari Teenage Riot - new age metal."
"Obsessive Compulsive have got everything... Their tunes are tight, tough and anthemic. They are heavy but pack a punk rock energy to what they are doing. Their songs are catchy as fuck.... They have the emotional raw power and they have the songs and they have the smarts and the work ethic to make this work."
"A debut album to put many an established band to shame. Drawing from an astonishingly wide spectrum of influences from Tori Amos to Black Flag, and stopping off to shake hands with Bjork and Danzig along the way, Obsessive Compulsive have ended up with an instantly attractive deluge of sounds pouring forth from the speakers to create a seductive pool of seething, emotionally charged, passionate rock that won't just have you dipping your toes, it'll have you diving straight in. "
"This album does not back down... from grunge-laden riffs, to Kelii's voice, which on this album is really given a chance to shine... At it's most ferocious; "Dreams of Death" is not without its brooding, tender side. But make no mistake, even in the most macabre moments, that fierce attitude does not disappear... "
"Screamingly angry modern pop-punk with nods to thrashy rock and a dark lyrical outlook. It's ballsy stuff that'll leave you breathless and a little bit scared... One of the better debuts you'll be likely to hear this year."
"Bold, raw and dirty. An album full of energy and attitude that just gets better with each listen."
"Sounds like a skittish Stone Temple Pilots with a light dusting of gothic menace and a defiant punk rock groove... This a band with both a wide-range of influences and a lot of song-writing nous. An extremely solid and assured debut."
"This album is packed full of dynamic and exciting punk riffs, Kelii's vocals are full of soul and passion... It is that sense of tenderness and vulnerability that make Obsessive Compulsive stand out from their peers; inducing a strangely addictive sense of unease that will keep you coming back for more."
"This album could definitely be a soundtrack for a revolution."
"Highly recommended!"
"This is clearly a band with something to say. [Dreams of Death...] is a lean, muscular killing machine ready to ram its message of self belief and determination so far down your throat you'll choke to death on its anti-establishment ideals. This self propelled band give the impression that you can either like their music and appreciate what they have to say, or, be crushed beneath their inexorable rise to great heights."
"This album kicks, screams and bites to be heard. Swinging wildly from venom-spitting to intensely vulnerable, these songs and subjects are something that anyone who's ever been dissatisfied can relate to. Impossible to pigeon-hole, but I guess loosely definable as angry goth-rock, Obsessive Compulsive have always appealed to a wide range of lost souls across the spectrum, and with a record like this to their name, they can only go further."
"Obsessive Compulsive's music is full of aggressive rock tinged with a punk feel that is sure to see this debut album from the UK rockers make some big moves in the rock world. The music on 'Dreams of Death and the Death of Dreams' is powerful enough for the metallers complete with the double kick bass drum, has the edge and anger to attract punk fans, the dark lyrics to make any goth happy... This is one impressive debut, plenty of variation throughout, plenty of fire, plenty of longing for more"

The development of a new cancer treatment will require "time and cunning", but could be effective eventually, a scientist has suggested.
Dr Paul Edwards, from the University of Cambridge, recently identified a gene - called Neurogulin-1 - which is damaged in more than half of the cases of breast cancer and could lead to progress in the treatment of the illness.
He said that this discovery is important because knowing how a cell becomes cancerous may provide the key to developing effective treatment, which is why Neurogulin-1 could be so important.
Dr Edwards explained: "It isn't easy to put something back that's broken, so it will take time and cunning to develop new treatments based on this discovery. But it might be possible in time."
Research by Breast Cancer Care indicates that a person is diagnosed with the illness every 11 minutes in the UK, with around 46,000 new cases reported each year.

Busy street scenes in London; c. 1910s.
Various shots both horse-drawn and motor vehicle traffic.
Many double-decker buses with advertisements on side for Pear's soap; Dewar's Scotch; Venus Cough Syrup.
Many pedestrians crossing the wide square at any point they choose; darting between the cars and carts.
In the first few seconds, the traffic coming in to picture from the right is coming down Lombard Street.
As the camera pans left, at 00:19 we see the statue of The Duke of Wellington, with the Bank of England behind him.

These are tools from my grand-grandfather (one – made in 1772 and another – in 1812 years). And my tools – I did them from my own projects for sculpture carving. For russian and celtic carving – special. And the cross made with these tools. Russian basswood.

Aaron Carapella, 36, is a self-taught Native historian and cartographer with a degree in business and years of activism under his belt. During the time he spent with the American Indian Movement, he remembers standing arm in arm with other protesters to block government officials and corporations from encroaching onto Native land. But it's his mapmaking he feels that's had the biggest impact on forcing America to reckon with its treatment of Native people.
