Tramps Like Us: Heidelberg Castle.
Around 1620, Jacques Fouquières painted Germany's Heidelberg Castle, a famous structure in both German history and art, in "Hortus Palatinus" (below). Although the Castle has been in splendid ruin for most of its history, artists still flock to its foundations, gardens and terracing. Camera-toting American lawyers do, too. I've spent several hours at the Castle on each of my three trips to Heidelberg--and I am sure I'll go again. Nearly 130 years ago, Heidelberg Castle was a hit with Americans. Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as writer and humorist Mark Twain, wrote about the storied castle in Appendix B to his famous "A Tramp Abroad" (1880).

Getting Paid: Pedestrian Tip No. 3 on Invoicing to Avoid Hating Life.
If you are a professional services biller, your bills should genuinely reflect value and effort. Your descriptions in each bill of the work performed should be honest, in plain English and bounce off the page with "problem-solving". If they do not, don't bill that work.

Karl Llewellyn.
Karl Nickerson Llewellyn
You expect me to tell you that you should be earnest about your work, and get your back into it for dear old Siwash, and that he who lets work slide will stumble by the way.
The above of course is from the opening chapter of the The Bramble Bush: On Our Law and Its Study (1931), which sprung from a series of introductory lectures Karl Llewellyn (1893–1962) gave to first-year law students during the 1929-30 academic year, when he was appointed the first Betts Professor of Jurisprudence at Columbia. The book's title is from a poem "The Bramble Bush" by Robert Penn Warren, excerpted here:
There was a man in our town
and he was wondrous wise:
he jumped into a bramble bush
and scratched out both his eyes--and when he found that he was blind,
with all his might and maine,
He jumped into another one,
and scratched them in again.

Tell Clients What They Can Do, Too.
I find myself doing it more than I would like--especially with clients with newer businesses or in emerging industries. I've just laid out some legal or regulatory infrastructure that, to them, throw up roadblocks to their plans. And I do this especially on the phone. I hear myself saying "no". Point and note to self: When you talk to clients, protect them. Make them safe. And be strong on those "no" points. But tell them what they can do, too. Make it part of every conversation.

St. Genevieve: "I know it, I see it. The Huns will not come..."
Get down on your knees and pray! I know it, I see it. The Huns will not come.
Sainte Genevieve (422-512) saved Parisians from the Huns, the legend goes, in 451. People had started to flee Paris in anticipation of the invasion led by Attila--but stopped when she told them she had a vision that the Huns would not enter Paris. She became the city's patron saint. In 1928, a grateful Paris erected a statue to her on the Pont de la Tournelle (now about 400 years old). Genevieve is facing east, the direction from which the Huns approached. She is also said to have converted Clovis, king of the pagan Franks, to Christianity. If you walk from the Right Bank to the Left Bank near the Ile Saint Louis, you walk right under her, with Notre Dame on your right.

The Winter Urban Homeless: Talk to them. Ask them what they need.

Rule 3: Ensure That Everyone Knows That The Client Is The Main Event
Rule Three: Ensure That Everyone In Your Firm Knows That The Client Is the Main Event.
Conveying what you are doing for clients and how you will accomplish that needs to be transmitted clearly to everyone in your firm: from the big picture to small details: what does the law firm do, who are the clients, what do the clients do, in what city is the general counsel's office, who works with the GC on that project, does she like e-mails or phone calls for short-answer projects? One way to start this process with a new employee is by having her or him read a short, amusingly-written confidential "Practice Guide" (with almost no procedures or "rules") on the firm's overall goals, your firm's service vision, client descriptions and genuinely useful ways to work--before the first day of work. Everyone must know.

Irish Guys: Having All The Wrong Stuff.
Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day.
For starters, be advised that real Irish-American males do not wear green on March 17. They do the same things they do any other day, to wit:
A. Get up
B. Inhale aspirin
C. Dress as usual: Dockers, clean "Guinness"-emblazoned golf shirts if there's an important meeting
D. Work, kind of
E. Read, with difficulty (don't count on Ulysses)
F. Head to a real bar (not ones with faux-Irish names like "The Dubliner" or the generic "Irish Bar")
G. Tell stories
H. Listen to some music (rarely Irish tunes)
I. Get drunk; and
J. Fall down on the floor.
I happen to know I'm Irish--maybe too Irish--and as Irish as they come. One great-grandmother, a Belfast Protestant named McQuitty, provides most of the DNA there. In my case, that's 7% of my genetic makeup and, believe me, it's enough. If you're not a slam dunk at proving you're Really Irish--e.g., your parents' names are Flanagan and Murphy, and those are their first names--and want to know for sure if you've got All The Wrong Stuff, here's a test you can take and decide for yourself:
1. All your brothers and sisters are in Alcoholics Anonymous.
2. You talk incessantly and in your sleep and for no reason.
3. Captivated audiences--e.g., juries and Rhodes and Marshall scholarship selection committees--take months and often years to realize that nothing you said made sense.
4. Your idea of foreplay is '"I'm home! Brace yourself, Brigit!"
5. Distant relatives in County Cork list "wearing trousers" and "dwarf-tossing" on resumes.
6. You once read "Angela's Ashes" and secretly dread the first day your wife or girlfriend humiliates you in front of your kids, your mates and the rest of the neighborhood.
7. For years after your last appointment psychiatrists beg you to take your money back.
8. You've spent 20 minutes on the phone giving long-distance relatives about to visit you a detailed report on the weather. You hang up, look out the window and see if you were right.
9. You make fun of Welsh people because they drink too much.
10. You're available at any time to speak at any length about any subject.

The Ides of March: Death of an Alpha Male.
First, when the pirates demanded a ransom of twenty talents, Caesar burst out laughing. They did not know, he said, who it was that they had captured, and he volunteered to pay fifty...
--Plutarch, on young Caesar
Today is the Ides of March, death date of Gaius Julius Caesar (July 13, 100 BC-March 15, 44 BC), general, politician, schemer, explorer, writer, alpha male, womanizer, patrician and, as we begin to observe St. Patrick's day, no friend of Gaelic peoples. Grandiose, flawed, and truly great, he made Rome an empire. Caesar conquered what is now France and Belgium--and got Rome more interested in taking on an assortment of Celtic tribes in Britain after his death.
An egomaniac, he was both charming vain dandy, and a skilled military leader, with a surprising compassionate streak. A century after his death, the Greek historian Plutarch wrote an enduring bio. Plutarch even mixed it up with armchair psychoanalysis, treating Caesar's life in "parallel" with that of Alexander the Great, another wildly self-assured fellow. The term Ides of March ("March 15") has nothing to do with our hero; "ides" means middle in the earliest Roman calendar, which some say was devised by Romulus, the mythical founder of Rome.

Don't Introduce Yourself as a Lawyer to Strangers & Folks You Just Met.
The majority view answer? Don't do it, kid. It can only hurt.
Unless business is just standing there in front of you 5 feet away--like the homely cotillion girl who no one is asking to dance--I suggest you never tell anyone you're a lawyer. It will immediately limit--even if in favorable ways--how you are perceived for the rest of the conversation.

Put aside your party line, your ideology and anything else you use to avoid thinking on your own. School teacher, seamstress, businesswoman, community organizer, Chicago girl and Ireland-born, Mary Harris "Mother Jones" (1837-1930) had big ones. What a resume, most of it from after she turned 50.
Denounced on the U.S. Senate floor as the "grandmother of all agitators."

'Professionalism': A Lawyer-Centric Ruse?
Reprinted from a 2005 "Law Week edition" of The San Diego Daily Transcript, here's "Professionalism Revisited: What About The Client?", written by one of our spunkier U.S. trial lawyers. Note that the piece ends with "rules of professionalism"--but from the client's perspective. Excerpts from Rules 1, 5 and 6:
1. We come first. Be nice--but if in doubt, use the rules. If you feel you know the lawyers you are dealing with, we will follow your advice and instincts. If you are in doubt about the lawyers, or if it might compromise us to deviate from the formal procedural rules, please stay close to those rules.
5. If you have, or would like to have, a personal relationship with opposing counsel, that's fine, but don't let the relationship hurt us--the client. We don't care as much as you do about your maintaining or developing collegiality with other lawyers in your jurisdiction; in fact, we could not care less.6. If opposing counsel shows animosity toward you for following the procedural rules and keeping things moving, that is tough. This is not about the lawyers. We hired you to represent us. We would like you to get this done. Again, as your client, we seldom think that aggression and persistence are "unprofessional".

The Dialect. First, what about the accent you hear there? That regal way of speech? You're in South Carolina, of course--but the speech you hear is barely "Southern". Most likely, experts say, it's a blend: of Gullah spoken by African Americans, and of English spoken by Europeans, over 300 years ago. Linguists love it, and you still hear it in the streets, especially "South of Broad".
The Dance. It was popularized by a song and its accompanying footwork, "The Charleston," by James P. Johnson in the Broadway musical "Runnin' Wild" in 1923. Like the unique Charleston dialect, the Dance goes way back, too. It's been traced to descendants of slaves who lived on islands off the coast of Charleston and in the city itself. Thought to have been first performed locally around 1903.

Confused about my "politics"? It's not important--but....
Not that it's important. But this blog has been active for 12 years. We all change a bit. Anyway, this may make the confusion worse. Comment I made on Facebook on Sunday:
"I'm pretty liberal even though I grew up mainly in IH [GOP Cincinnati suburb], am a serious capitalist, had moderate GOP parents and worked for one GOP member of Congress. I refuse to think off any partisan script. I'm an R who has twice raised $ for and voted for Hillary Clinton--who I see as a moderate & very similar to Trump as a pol. I also worked for a very liberal Kennedy style senator. Ideologies don't solve problems. People do."

Encore: Best of Partner Emeritus No. 5. PE Does 'Nam, Cassandra, others (Part II)
I guarantee you one thing. If you work for a peer firm, you will encounter me or someone very much like me. Either way, you cannot avoid the essence of my character if you aspire to succeed at a peer firm. I or some form of my embodiment will exist to make your existence as uncomfortable and unpleasant as it can be.
-- Partner Emeritus, New York City, September 3, 2009
Faithful Above The Law readers know that a 1967 polo injury two weeks before his deployment to Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia sidelined Partner Emeritus, later a celebrated patrician New York City law partner, and now revered Dean of the ATL Commentariat, for the entire Vietnam War. This deprived America not only of hundreds more enemy kills during the war's escalation years also of an early and victorious end to the war. "My endgame would have been to round up all the hippie stoners and opium addicts in the States and parachuted them into Vietcong territory," he recently explained. "I would have used the MK Ultra Program to convince the paratroopers that the Vietcong had stolen their drugs and that the opium fields would be their prize for killing every last member of Charlie." Like every great jungle fighter, major corporate exec and bet-the-company trial lawyer, and every generation of males in my own family in America since 1634, Partner Emeritus took the setback in stride and, in a word, improvised.
Here is a bit of military trivia for you. During the early part of the Vietnam War, I used to go to Fort Totten and Fort Hamilton when families and girlfriends were seeing off their "boys" getting shipped to 'Nam. I befriended many young nubile women under the guise that I was a returning veteran who just finished a tour in 'Nam. I almost feel ashamed to admit that I seduced many of these women. It was really easy, especially when I would tell them that the average American G.I. fornicated with diseased Vietnamese whores 3 or 4 times a week.
During an intimate interlude, "Cassandra" received a phone call from her G.I. boyfriend named John, who was on R&R in Singapore. She proceeded to have a conversation with John as she performed fellatio on me. Unfortunately, I could not discipline myself during climax and I exulted loudly in ecstasy. Well John heard me and angrily demanded an explanation. "Cassie" told John that her girlfriend "Jody" was visiting her and she was moaning over menstrual cramps.
A few years later, I discovered that I was immortalized in military folklore when drill instructors warn recruits that while they are suffering in boot camp, their girlfriends back home are being taken care of "Jody."
Ain't no sense in goin' home, Jody's got your girl and gone. Ain't no sense in feeling blue, Jody's got her sister, too.

Lawyering: You're not entitled to a bad day, Skippy.
Prescient. Accurate. Inspiring. Irritating. Even upsetting. But they are not about you. Born right here in 2006, and part of Hull McGuire cosmos since the 1990s, the 12 Rules of Client Service try to align client and lawyer interests, and do a good job of that. They require discipline, persistence, attitude and a mind-set of enforcement. And big ones, frankly. Have a nice day.

Paternity Leave: Do we really want it?
Paternity leave is silly. Seriously. It goes way too far. It hurts the entire human race. Degrades women and men. Let's celebrate instead the differences between the sexes and that the sexes are good at wonderfully different things. Repeat: women and men--the same as different tribes and cultures--are different. Sure, every dad should help in parenting. Every dad should be a hands-on baby carer. The question? How much? And when? The word is dilute. We are so quick to dilute what's wonderful and what works between the sexes. Let's not destroy & dilute the strengths and elevate and cover up the weaknesses. Let's not dilute the greatness of the human race with yet more new age nonsense asking for equality when equality demands only serves to kill merit and excellence. People are not equal. Never have been. Never will be. And we don't even want them to be. Men and women are different. They are good at different things.

The Problem Now.
My 3 cents? The problem is Americans don't know each other anymore. We've been making assumptions about our co-citizens on coasts/cities versus people in flyover land/rural areas that were not true. The latter was patient for a long time while we celebrated & rewarded Anyone Different, Disenfranchised, Weak or Powerless. (Nice idea we took too far.) The latter group elected Trump. Their turn. They have had way more class in victory than the Dems have had in defeat. Our press and more liberal elites--who I once admired--have shown their real stuff. And it's ugly,

Sensitive Litigation Moment No. 5: Depositions and FRE 612
FRE 612 provides that if a witness uses a writing "to refresh memory", either while or before testifying, the adverse party is "entitled to have the writing produced at the hearing, to inspect it, to cross-examine the witness" on the document. Good trial lawyers overlook that FRE 612 applies to depositions as well as to trials. Federal decisions have applied the rule to depositions based upon Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(c). So ask a "hostile" deponent if he or she looked at documents before the deposition other than those being produced at the deposition. If the answer is "yes", request that they be produced. Go to the judge. You can have them produced during or after the deposition. Often the best documents are the ones that never make it to the deposition, like handwritten records that even opposing counsel doesn't know about.

The 12 Rules.
A few more words about our world-famous The 12 Rules of Client Service, first published here in April of 2006. Think of these rules as a 12-step program for suits and their employees: lawyers, accountants, consultants, execs, technicians and countless other occupations now laboring to provide solutions to customers in the new global services economy. The goal of the 12 Rules is to align the interests of clients/customers and service providers to the fullest extent possible.* We think they do that well. Finally, the rules (while badass, make no mistake) are not perfect. Got suggestions or criticisms? We'd love to hear them.
*The 12 Rules were not written for yah-yah "happy atmosphere" shops like, say, Starbucks or Disney World. The rules are not about being friendly, nice, obsequious or servile with the client or customer.

The Sleeper: Rule 27, Fed. R. Civ. P.
You hosin' us, Mr. Hull?
Rule 27 of the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is "Depositions to Perpetuate Testimony". It's not invoked that often. Subdivision (a) covers "Before an Action Is Filed":
(1) Petition. A person who wants to perpetuate testimony about any matter cognizable in a United States court may file a verified petition in the district court for the district where any expected adverse party resides. The petition must ask for an order authorizing the petitioner to depose the named persons in order to perpetuate their testimony. The petition must be titled in the petitioner's name and must show:
(A) that the petitioner expects to be a party to an action cognizable in a United States court but cannot presently bring it or cause it to be brought;
(B) the subject matter of the expected action and the petitioner's interest;
(C) the facts that the petitioner wants to establish by the proposed testimony and the reasons to perpetuate it;
(D) the names or a description of the persons whom the petitioner expects to be adverse parties and their addresses, so far as known; and
(E) the name, address, and expected substance of the testimony of each deponent.
(2) Notice and Service. At least 21 days before the hearing date, the petitioner must serve each expected adverse party with a copy of the petition and a notice stating the time and place of the hearing. The notice may be served either inside or outside the district or state in the manner provided in Rule 4. If that service cannot be made with reasonable diligence on an expected adverse party, the court may order service by publication or otherwise. The court must appoint an attorney to represent persons not served in the manner provided in Rule 4 and to cross-examine the deponent if an unserved person is not otherwise represented. If any expected adverse party is a minor or is incompetent, Rule 17(c) applies.
(3) Order and Examination. If satisfied that perpetuating the testimony may prevent a failure or delay of justice, the court must issue an order that designates or describes the persons whose depositions may be taken, specifies the subject matter of the examinations, and states whether the depositions will be taken orally or by written interrogatories. The depositions may then be taken under these rules, and the court may issue orders like those authorized by Rules 34 and 35. A reference in these rules to the court where an action is pending means, for purposes of this rule, the court where the petition for the deposition was filed.
(4) Using the Deposition. A deposition to perpetuate testimony may be used under Rule 32(a) in any later-filed district-court action involving the same subject matter if the deposition either was taken under these rules or, although not so taken, would be admissible in evidence in the courts of the state where it was taken.
And subdivision (c), equally as vague in some respects (but see the Committee Notes), states:
(c) Perpetuation by an Action. This rule does not limit a court's power to entertain an action to perpetuate testimony.

Borges' El Aleph: A story like no other.
O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space.
- Hamlet Act 2, Scene 2.
El Aleph is a story by Argentina's hands-down dean of letters Jorges Luis Borges first published in 1945 and revised from time to time through 1974. It is the most amazing short story I've ever read. I and two other--and far more gifted--Indian Hill (Ohio) High School classmates read El Aleph in Spanish in 1970 with Mr. Fogle in our "Spanish V" class. In the story The Aleph is a point in space that subsumes all other points in space and shows you all that is occurring in the Universe at once. Is that far-in or what?
"Este palacio es fábrica de los dioses, pensé primeramente. Exploré los inhabitados recintos y corregí: Los dioses que lo edificaron han muerto. Noté sus peculiaridades y dije: Los dioses que lo edificaron estaban locos. Lo djie, bien lo sé, con una incomprensible reprobación que era casi un remordimiento, con más horror intelectual que miedo sensible."

Thank you Marian for the warm welcome and the best ideas for Barcelona!
Perfect location, close to 2 metro stations. The apartment has a really nice terrace. Comfy beds, essentials available. Would definitely book the same apartment again.
Great value for money. Close to the metro and some very nice bars and restaurants. First floor with elevator, so easy access. So nice to have a little terrace to sit out on in a morning and evening. The best thing about our booking though...Alexandra. I would employ her in a heartbeat!! Fantastic service. Nothing too much trouble. So much help before and during the stay. An absolute diamond. So many apartment stays are impersonal and always present a worry on coordination, but not this. I really felt like it was a joy for her to take our booking and to help us. Thank you, Alexandra. I would definitely recommend this flat and company for fantastic value for money and location and of course, for the fantastic client support!!

Man and woman fit together in a wondrous way. Yet they often fall into the trap of quarrels and problems instead of maintaining and strengthening their love. Through all that the magnetic stream of love flows continuously when the bodies are brought together. Couples who use this Tantra knowledge purposefully experience a renewal of their love and eventually discover that the annoying 'weed' in their relationship has disappeared of itself.
On this site you find the following information:
How does the magnetic love stream work?
The magnetic love stream within one's own body
Awakening the magnetic love stream within
The magnetic love as circulating stream between woman and man
How man and woman can recharge their inner batteries with each other in a relaxed way
What happens internally during the quiet, gentle penetration
How the magnetic love stream is injured through harmful sex
1. How does the magnetic love stream work?
Tantra assumes that each human individual, man or woman, is inwardly a magnet with a positive and a negative pole. For sensitive human beings this magnetism in the energetic body is palpable beyond the external shell of the visible, physical body.
The plus pole of a woman is her breast, the minus pole the yoni (tantric name for the female genitals). The plus pole of a man is his lingam (tantric name for penis). The heart is the man's minus pole. The positive pole radiates energy. This is visible on the physical level: The breasts give milk when nursing a baby, the lingam discharge sperm. However, the positive pole also radiates energy invisibly. Always. It does not depend on the size of the breast or the lingam. It does not matter whether we find them beautiful or not. The minus pole receives the energy. This becomes obvious when we think of the yoni, which receives the lingam and its sperm. That the man receives energy with his heart centre in the middle of his chest has no visible, physical equivalent. Radiating energy and receiving energy happens invisibly – it is a phenomenon of the energy field. The circulation of energy takes place within a human being as a magnetic stream but also during bodily contact between man and woman.
2. The magnetic love stream within one's own body
Beyond the constantly active flow of thoughts, our inner body can be perceived as fine flowing. Usually women find the access to the endless flowing inside more easily. The sensitive perception necessary may be developed through meditation, breath and energy work but also through frequent sexual activity such as the quiet and gentle penetration. The heart embrace and the light lingam meditation for women also awaken the magnetic love stream. Even through mere visualization of the heart embrace can substantially enhance the perception. Some extremely sensitive people don't need training; they are, thanks to their nature, very aware of their inner body. The perception of the external and later also the inner body is essential for mindful sexuality. The training to sensitive perception starts with guiding your attention to all individual body parts and then with feeling the body from the inside. Many different relaxation methods support this process. In his books, CDs and talks the spiritual master and teacher Eckhart Tolle talks a lot about the inner body and how it may be perceived. Exercises are described in his audio book, "The Power of Now" (German version available in the BeFree Shop).
3. The awakening of the magnetic love stream
A woman can strengthen her positive pole through daily breast massages and the breast meditation (manual coming soon on this webpage). Simultaneously she also enhances the receptiveness of her yoni. The strengthening of the breast as magnetic plus pole in a woman opens the access to deeper sexuality and sensitizes the yoni. Many women who are cut off through lack of lust from the immense sexual power can rediscover it this way. A man who wants to support his woman to discover her real female lust give her as many respectful breast-touches as he can. You find instructions on tantric breast massage in Tantra Download Films. This has a stronger effect than all efforts made to produce lust directly on the yoni. The yoni of a sexually-awakened woman is receptive all on her own, once the rules of female lust are respected and applied. Most men find it difficult to get in touch with the fine streams in their inner body. An already awakened woman may be a catalyst. Meditation and breath techniques also help to escape the "thinking" and to anchor consciousness in the body. Man and woman can achieve the awakening of the energetic magnetic love stream together. The quiet and gentle penetration, a ritual for opening and intimacy in the Tantra Download and the heart embrace help.
4. The magnetic love as circulating stream between woman and man
In Tantra books you find many pictures of man and woman in which the magnetic circuit is visible. The breast and the heart of the woman radiate the female energy. The heart of the man as receptive pole receives it. Once the minus pole admits energy, its own magnetism kicks off the streaming internally. The energy received streams "automatically" down to the lingam which radiates male energy anyway without any ado. However, the energy received from the woman enhances the energy of the man. His lingam passes it on to the yoni of the woman. From there it rises to the heart and the breast of the woman. The circuit closes. Man and woman fit together in a wonderful way, not only physically but also for the magnetic love stream of their energetic bodies. When man and woman stand or lie together (no matter whether having sexual intercourse or not), the energy flows in the circuit between the poles. Man and woman charge eachother's "battery" – automatically, without doing anything. They notice this because they feel more vital, powerful and positive.
5. How man and woman can recharge their inner batteries with each other in a relaxed way
The existing energetic and energising magnetic love stream between man and woman can be strengthened enormously. This is done most effectively by touching the positive poles. If a woman touches her partner on the lingam without purposefully arousing him or she holds the lingam for a while with conscious attention in her hands, she awakens additional male energy. But something happens in her, as well: Her magnetic love stream is activated and strengthened. A quiet or gentle penetration which then follows can further intensify the circulation of the additional awakened energy.
Likewise, the man can strengthen the magnetic pole of the woman by touching or through mere conscious holding of her breast. Simultaneously his own plus pole is activated. Therefore the breast of the woman is the man's best 'filling station'. A man should touch the breast of his woman often, to strengthen his manhood. The caressing and touching of a breast can contribute to overcoming erection problems.
6. What happens during a quiet and gentle penetration
When man and woman have sexual intercourse in missionary position without anything 'special', the magnetic stream between plus and minus poles between man and woman flows endlessly. The lingam releases an energetic stream which, in time, even a woman can feel. No erection is needed. The yoni of the woman receives the love stream of the man "automatically" and passes the received energy on – up through her body to her heart and breast. The energy flows via the nipples to the heart of the man. The more the woman can receive the lingam, the stronger the magnetic love stream. This energetic happening harmonizes man and woman. It is said that the lingam resting in a woman performs "peace work" and evacuates all negative energy accumulated in the pelvis. This is a beautiful metaphor for whatever is happening. A couple which makes love this way regularly becomes more peaceful and more loving. Every couple can give it a try. The best place for a lingam is in a yoni. Yoni and lingam fit together and would like to be together as often as possible. Even when not pushed to any "effort", their togetherness has a positive and healing effect and the couple will experience daily life with more satisfaction and an open heart.
The magnetic love stream is constantly present and gets hurt when women constantly participate in male-oriented sexuality. Particularly over-activity on the yoni, the pressure to force orgasms there, interferes with the female minus pole, in the long run leading to pole reversal, so that the yoni becomes active and positive and repels the likewise positive lingam. Two positive poles repel each other. Couples then start wondering why sexuality does not happen between them anymore. By nature the yoni is a receptive organ. She exists to open herself and to receive "a visit". The holistic path to a woman's lust achieves that the opening happens by itself. A man should never penetrate with violence or against the resistance of a woman. The woman should be very sensitive during every sexual encounter. Pain, even the smallest friction pain, should be avoided. If man and woman apply the laws of love and lust both become more sensitive overall, also in their genitals. The heart for each other, however, becomes larger and larger.

By Jim Foster, President
The cleanup, restoration, and revitalization of the Anacostia does not happen because of one politician, organization, donor or person. It happens because many people, organizations, and governments are working together, rising to the challenge, and making the connections to support the work.
Tuesday, Nov. 4 is Election Day. And make no mistake about it, the Anacostia is on the ballot.
Who we elect in the District and Maryland has a direct effect on the Anacostia. It is these policy makers -- local, state, and national -- who will set the pace and help us find the resources for the next phase of cleanup. We have come a long way in our 25 year campaign for the Anacostia, but little of it would have been possible without strong laws and their enforcement and the active commitment of elected officials.
By: Maureen Farrington, Membership Coordinator
The Anacostia Watershed Society congratulates the 11th Street Bridge Park for choosing as its winning design "Anacostia Crossing" by the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and Olin Studio. This is a bold new statement for the Anacostia River, an environmentally-sound and elegant design that dramatically builds on the efforts of so many through the years to make our river healthy and beautiful.
By: George S. Hawkins, General Manager of DC Water
Kingman Island, Northeast Washington, D.C.
The Anacostia Watershed Society is thrilled that the Washington Nationals are in the 2014 MLB playoffs! You can hear President Jim Foster in two spots on CBS Radio, 106.7 The Fan, running before the next five playoff games. (Hopefully it won't go to 5 games!)

Many people do not think about where water goes after it hits the street and enters a storm drain. Our goal as an organization is to raise awareness and then empower individuals to make a positive impact on their local streams. Strorm drain murals help address the critical first step of raising awareness and helping people to understand that no matter where they are in the Anacostia Watershed their actions have a direct impact on the Anacostia River.
We recently painted 10 storm drain murals in the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast DC with the help of students from Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy Public Charter School. Local artists designed the murals and the students assisted with the painting.

"Can't I just take a pill to get my cholesterol down?"
Not long ago, one of my patients said this to me in the office. He was a middle aged man with known heart disease, previous angioplasty, and a high cholesterol. I had suggested to him that his cholestrol was too high. His bad cholesterol, LDL, was elevated over 120 and his belly was quite large. The man had been eating ice cream 3-4 days a week and wanted to know if there was a pill that he could take that would allow him to lower his cholesterol and still eat ice cream.
Normally as cardiologists we try to reduce the LDL cholesterol to well below 100mg/dl. Ideal is somewhere between 50-70. Studies show that people in cultures that have very little or no heart disease, the LDL cholesterol is exceedingly low. Just as it is in all newborns. It can be as low as 35-50mg/dl.
Eating saturated fat from animal products has been show to be a key reason that people have high LDL cholesterol levels. Many other things play a part in getting heart disease but improper eating is very crucial.
A large belly has been shown to cause elevated insulin levels that can help lead to heart disease.
So I wondered what to say to a man who:
1. Has had a heart attack
2. Has a high LDL
3. Is already on medications
4. Wants to take a pill rather than giving up his ice cream.
Would someone ask such a silly question about their car? We all know that if you have a car that runs on regular gasoline and we've been putting kerosine in it and it stops working the way it should. We all know we can't do this.
Everyone understands that an automobile has to have the proper oil, care, and fuel to make it run properly.
So why don't people understand this about their bodies?
Heart disease is 90% preventable- 90% of all CAD, Coronary Artery Disease, can be prevented with proper diet, exercise, and relaxation techniques.
A health care crisis is upon us. Yet, very few people are interested in taking the steps needed to prevent illness. Andrew Weil, M.D. a guru of integrative medicine in a recent interview, suggests that we need to really examine the medical system to get away from a disease management system and really embrace prevention (http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?i=29055)
I would agree. Consider the costs of just knee replacement therapy. Each year over 50 billion of dollars are spent on orthopedic surgeries related to Osteoarthritis, frequently caused by obesity (http://www.ajmc.com/supplement/endocrinology/2009/A235_09sep_Osteoarthritis/A235_09sep_Bitton_S230toS235). Knee replacement surgery is a big part of this cost. Obesity is one of the key causes of knee injury.
Obesity is preventable. Yet, it means that people have to take responsibility for their health care.
Last year, in my cardiology practice in Michigan, I highly recommended a yoga class to 50 of my patients who suffered from obesity. I spent nearly 10 minutes talking to each and every patient. I gave them literature and a phone number to call.
Did you know that not 1 patient even called the phone number?
Sad but true. I also suggested a relaxation CD to over 100 people suffering with emotional upset, that I am sure was aggravating or causing their heart disease.
The number of people who were willing to spend $15 on a relaxation CD was none. Not one single person was willing to buy a CD on relaxation. Yet, I would venture that most of those people were willing to spend $15 eating out.
Perhaps we can create a pill that will make people want to exercise and eat a heart healthy diet. This would be a good prescription to write.
I would then have a pill that could lead to prevention of heart disease. I would welcome comments on this topic

Today (Thursday) and Friday – I'll be immersed in some of the richest teaching and dialog on leadership in the business and church worlds. I'm taking notes the old-fashioned way, but I'll post what I can soon. In the mean time, this is what people are saying RIGHT NOW from the summit.
It's awesome to see what's happening here and across the country as THOUSANDS are attending live via Satellite locations. For those who aren't familiar with the Twitter culture – you'll often see hash tags that look like this: #tls09. Hash tags create an easy way for people on Twitter to follow a particular topic. The above listing is a real-time stream of messages that include #tls09.
The great thing about Twitter is that it allows instant communication around topics – in a public format. I've met and connected with other leaders simply by following who is talking about what topics that interest me. I'll write more about this soon. Thanks for reading and always feel free to leave comments below!
NEWS NOTE: Twitter.com is experiencing what is known as a "denial of service" or "DOS" attack. What happens is people with bad intentions purposely send a flood of requests to a site or service so that it overwhelms the system and forces the entire system to shut down. So the site or above stream may not show up if the attack is still in progress.

ABUJA—HUNDREDS of members of the Shiite Islamic Movement of Nigeria, IMN, yesterday, stormed the National Assembly to protest the continued detention of their leader, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.
The protesters, led by the secretary of the academic forum in Nigeria, Abdullahi Musa, said they had gathered to know the position of the Senate regarding the continued detention of their leader as well as ascertain when he would be released.
According to him, the group was at the National Assembly to know what the Senate will do and if government was planning any action regarding their members.
He alleged that several of their members had been killed by security operatives in different parts of the country.
"They killed our members and government has been silent. We want to know what their position is," Musa said.
An application for El-Zakzaky's bail by his lawyer, Femi Falana, is expected to be determined by an Abuja Division of the Federal High Court today.
The protesting Shiite members, who were received by the Divisional Crimes Officer at the National Assembly, Frances Anebi, were, however, asked to remain calm.

Fairy Ring Oracle review by Solandia
The Fairy Ring Oracle, the second deck from Anna Franklin and Paul Mason, creators of the Sacred Circle Tarot, is not a set of a tarot cards but a sixty-card oracle deck. Its cards do not have pretty Victorian fairies with blonde hair and gossamer wings, but the full spectrum of naughty, nice, troublesome and plain malicious fairies and sprites from Britain and Ireland.
The Fairy Ring Oracle it has four suits - the Spring Court, the Summer Court, Autumn Court and Winter Court - and eight 'Fairy Festival' cards representing the Sabbats and Esbats of the year. Each of the suit cards is associated with a figure from the fairy pantheon, like Mab or Gwynn ap Nudd, or one of the Fairy species like Brownie, Leprechaun or Unicorn. The fives are slightly different, being day/night reve... read more reviews or write a review.

Sickness taking its tollI still got a case of the sniffles - but I am feeling far better than I did two days ago. A co-worker was nice enough to give me a few MotrinIB's to get me through the day. I believe my cold is at the end of it's strain because my nose is itchy. Whenever my nose gets itchy, I know I am at the end of a cold. :-) Sounds weird but it's true. 12 years ago It is 1 day until my birthday

Wednesday at 10 am, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear oral argument in Haskell v. Harris, examining crucial questions of DNA privacy. If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, this is a unique opportunity to hear debate over how your genetic information can be collected, stored, and shared by law enforcement.
On September 19, the Ninth Circuit is set to hear new arguments in Haskell v. Harris, a case challenging California's warrantless DNA collection program.
State Secrets Privilege Prevents Justice Again
Yet again, a federal court dismissed a lawsuit against the federal government under the 'state secrets' privilege, despite substantial public evidence that the plaintiff's constitutional rights had been violated. In Fagaza v. FBI, Muslim community members alleged their First and Fourth Amendment rights were repeatedly violated by the FBI and its informant, who eventually turned on the FBI and cooperated with the plaintiffs.
A week before the judge's ruling, NPR's This American Life dedicated its August 10th program to the case, which you can listen to here.
Last week, the New York Times published two important op-eds highlighting how the National Security Agency (NSA) has retained expansive powers to warrantlessly wiretap Americans after Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act in 2008. And unlike in 2005—when the exposure of the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program provoked widespread outrage—Congress is now all but ignoring ample evidence of wrongdoing, as it debates renewing the FISA Amendments Act before it expires at the end of this year.

Temasek says sees value in U.S. and UK banks
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore sovereign fund Temasek, which spent billions of dollars on shares in Merrill Lynch MER.N, sees value in banking stocks in the United States and Britain, a senior executive said on Tuesday.
"The financial service industry is one we believe in," said Manish Kejriwal, Temasek's senior managing director for investment, International and India, told journalists. "It's a proxy to the economic growth."
"We recently concentrated on U.S. and UK primarily because we see value."

Sara Bareilles is using her beautiful vocals at tonight's 2014 Emmy Awards to pay tribute for the "In Memoriam" segment.
Here's what you should know about the gifted singer and why this performance means so much to her.
1. Bareilles Dedicated a Song to Williams on Her Tour
When Robin Williams passed away, Bareilles posted the above Aladdin photo on her Instagram with this caption:
What a tragic loss. So desperately sad to lose someone who made so many so happy.
In addition, the night of Williams' death, Bareilles was performing on her Little Black Dress tour in Los Angeles and dedicated her song "Hercules" to the late comedian. The song is from Bareilles' very personal album The Blessed Unrest, and her connection to Williams is that she too has suffered with depression, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Abstract graffuturism by Maya Hayuk in Charleroi for the Asphalte Art Biennale, good job! pic.twitter.com/tjGuraWmCN
— Street Art Belgium (@StreetArtBel) May 26, 2014
According to the Daily News, Bareilles is being sued by artist Maya Hayuk. The Daily News writes:
Maya Hayuk, 44, says Bareilles and her record company used her mural 'Chem Trails NYC' as a backdrop for numerous promotional pictures and videos of the pop star without Hayuk's knowledge or permission.
Bareilles reportedly posed for photos in front of Hayuk's mural and the pics were used to promote her album "The Blessed Unrest." The lawsuit seeks $150,000 in damages.
3. Bareilles Was a Celebrity Judge on Sing-Off
For the third season of the singing competition Sing-Off, Bareilles acted as judge alongside Ben Folds and Shawn Stockman. Have a look at Bareilles teaming up with fellow judge Ben Folds for a holiday performance in the above video.
Shortly after joining The Sing-Off, Bareilles announced she was in the process of recording a new EP with fellow judge Ben Folds producing it.
4. Carole King Did a Duet With Her at the Grammys
In January 2014 at the Grammy Awards, the life and career of Carole King was celebrated. Bareilles actually performed a duet with King at the awards in honor of the big event. The two performed renditions of King's "Beautiful" and Bareilles' "Brave".
5. She Has a Huge Philanthropic Side
Bareilles gives back by participating in many charity events and helping those in need. A Trace of Sun is a documentary of when she was volunteering in Japan after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. In addition to this, she performs at many charitable events. For example, this past April, Bareilles performed with Elton John at The Breast Cancer Research Foundation Annual Hot Pink Party Fundraiser.

(Round-trip)I like the food and the service plus the entertainment on the Telvision
more lessNice food, wonderful entertainment.
Old fashioned seat, no usb to charge my phone, battery went ;off and couldn't make a call to my family to assure them of a half way safe trip while stopping over for almost 6 hours in Ataturk Intl. Airport, Turkey.
more lessAverage flight to get you where you want to go. That's it.
Rude air hostess. Very poor customer relations. Very poor.
more lessDrinks trolley too slow, considering passengers on most European flights are paying for their drinks. Quick drinks trolley with the food trolley coming along behind would be much better, and a lot more happy passengers, One and a half hours,approx., from take-off when the food and drinks trolley, from the front, reached Row 10. Not good Willie!
You should board by seat numbers on European flights. Aisles too narrow on 320's (and equivalent), with passengers putting quite large carry-on luggage in the overhead lockers and slowing everything down plus discomfort to passengers already seated. Otherwise a very pleasant an enjoyable flight. when the doors closed.
more lessclean. Seat covers nice and clean. furniture color scheme pleasant.
1. Seat distance by far too less. 2. seat width on the borderline of being acceptable. 3.. No entertainment, not even a flight info screen available. 4. Only instant coffee available. If it is instant, cappuccino or other café specialities should be available. Emirates and Etihad make the example. 5. Food okay - but not for french airline. No innovation, no thought in it. Standard "how do I get the cattle fed the cheapest possible" food. 6. Electrical / USB / Network plugs or WIFI unknown.
more lessDeparture and arrival were on time.
The chair is very tiring Very tight space between chairs The food cold and wrapping was wet with water !!!! No entairtaiment movies for almost six hours.
more lessBoarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)
more lesscoffee was horrible
more lessThe service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!
more lessNot much
We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.
more lessThe service provided by the airline crew was magnificent. I enjoyed the entire flight from my departure point to the arrival point. Turkish Airline is my to go airline herein henceforth. I will implore prospective travelers to give the airline a shot (try). I can unequivocally attest that the decision to do so will not be regretted.
more lessBoarding was on time and the service was nice. The cabin crew were nice too.
more lessIt was part of our hop from the United States to Malaga.
I fly Southwest Airlines in the US frequently, but this plane felt FAR more packed in than those do. Without a free drink or snack, my 3 hours on this plane were miserable. We were flying at night, and they kept EVERY light in the cabin on for the duration. I don't know why they needed so much illumination to push a cart up and down the aisle for the few people willing to pay for beverages.
more lessThe boarding was quick & pleasant, the crew was friendly & helpful.
There was no food left or soft drinks left when before the crew even got to me on the flight
more lessLost piece of luggage to start with. An Aer Lingus agent in A'dam, where we started our journey, insisted we could not take a not oversized small suitcase w expensive photo equipment on board. She labeled the suitcase to Boston while we were boarding = (very confusing as per your representative in Dublin who told us she should have labeled it to Dublin), American custom in Dublin asked us to identify our luggage and this piece was on their computer but NOTHING showed up in Boston nor at our final destination in TPA. Name Lylem Maria AH, 9 074 KL 936816, filed a report in Boston and TPA but nothing yet.
Food very mediocre, old plane, entertainment system not working well in my chair, not sure or I wil fly again w your airline, will probably use Delta again= bit more expensive but would rate them "good".
more lessI've flown Aer Lingus years ago......it was a pleasant experience. Now it's a bargain airline. Everything is for sale......nothing free.
more lessThe connection between AMS and IAD at DUB was simply insane, only 10 minutes to walk back to security, us customs and another security check when the plane from AMS was parked NEXT TO plane I was about to board. Lost luggage in DUB because of it. Very bad experience !!
more lessLove this airline. I am a very loyal customer. Great service. Great people.
Seats need improvement. Very hard and uncomfortable. Remind me of the seats on Aeroflot planes. Similar problem. Great service, uncomfortable seats.
more lessTurkish cancelled my original flight from Adana w/o notifying me!!!

text: We've come here for years since the original place burned down. The parking's is a bit tight in the back. Make sure the attendant knows your going in so you don't get towed! The burgers and brews are great and an occasional special related to the season - like Oktoberfest, etc. Never disappointed.

What our Customers Say about our Service |
"Used their service for the first time and was immediately impressed by their professionalism (received a phone call soon after order was placed to confirm details) and the subsequent delivery of my gift (To Split, Croatia) was as requested. The gift itself was exactly as described and pictured in the catalogue and of the highest standard. Would highly recommend to anyone requiring overseas gift delivery." Danny - Australia - Mar 3, 2011 "I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. " Liliana - Barcelona, Spain - Mar 22, 2010 "Despite knowing about the advance ordering disclaimer, I ordered the gift on the 24th (from California) and was hoping to get it delivered on the 25th (to Belgrade). As soon as I placed my order one of their reps called me asking me to confirm the delivery address... I said fine but it'll have to wait until tomorrow because my int'l friend is asleep at the moment. I woke up the next day and my friend was in tears because she got the gift delivered. Figuratively speaking, I was floored. I couldn't believe that within a few hours they were able to figure out the delivery address and have it shipped to her. All of their reps are amazing and will go above-and-beyond in making sure you're a satisfied customer. In 30 years I have never experienced better customer service -- A+++ all the way." Ned - CA, USA - Apr 25, 2014 "(ReviewCenter/info@alexandiggy) Fantastic! Here was the feedback from the recipient: " they did such a nice job of stacking up the chocolate boxes and wrapping with a nice red ribbon and gift card - it was very professional and nicely done". Easy for me because I did not have the hassle of having to pack it and mail it to Japan myself (expensive). " A Walker - USA - Jul 13, 2015 Read more testimonials or leave your feedback here. |

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: From Adoption to Reality
But how are the SDGs relevant to eye health?
Implementation, implementation, implementation
The challenge that lies ahead is in turning this framework into reality. Governments will be expected to develop national strategies and provide space for significant participation and monitoring of successes by all stakeholders including marginalised and excluded sections of society. And civil society will need to ensure that this occurs in practice. In order to ensure that the framework best benefits people at risk of vision impairment and persons with visual impairment, engagement at global, regional and national level will be essential.
The papers attached here provide analysis of the Goal and Targets and the current proposed set of indicators, opportunities and entry points for advocacy.
