For those of you who do not know, the girls and I were hit by a drunk driver last February. The drunk driver (B) is a 21 year old Coast Guard Sailor. He slammed into the back of our Suburban going about 90 mph while we were in the Midtown tunnel in downtown Norfolk. No one was hurt.
Today we finally appeared in court for B's sentencing. He was charged with DUI, Reckless Driving and driving without a license. The police officer who wrote the accident report was fired from the force not too long after the accident. Therefore, his testimony was no longer valid and they were unable to prove that B was the driver, at the scene and intoxicated at the time. The prosecuting attorney was able to track down an eye witness that could identify him and testify that he was driving and that he was drunk. Before we went into the court room the attorney went over what we'd be asked and how we should respond. I was so nervous having never been in that kind of situation before. Literally seconds before we went in B's attorney came out and the two attorneys had a little powwow. They made a deal that the DUI charge would be dropped if B would plead guilty to the reckless driving and driving without a license.
In the courtroom I was called up to stand with the prosecuting attorney while B was sentenced. I never had to say one word because the DUI charge was dropped. The other witness never had to say anything either. It all seemed like such a waste. B was given a $2000 fine, $1500 of which was suspended, Another $150 in fees, 180 days in jail, 175 of which was suspended and he must go through Virginias alcohol abuse program. The Coast Guard has punished him just shy of kicking him out. His boat deploys tomorrow for 2 months and he will have to report to jail as soon as they return.
The car B was driving was not his and he did not have permission to be driving it. So immediately after he was done in our case he had to report to a courtroom next door. His ex-friend, the owner of the car, was going after him for damages which amounted to more than $17,000.
Now you know the rest of the story and I am very thankful to have reached the end.

Holly and Gracie have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen lately. They've researched recipes, selected the finest ingredients, mixed, molded, rolled, cut and baked. They've given their utmost attention to producing a delicious and nutritious finished product. Sounds yummy huh? Sure, if you're a dog!
This is the shape they call the doggy donut. The donut's are for Hobbes and the holes are for Wrigley and Snickers.
Hobbes is the quality control manager. He somehow knows that when Holly is in the kitchen, the treats are for him.
The taste testing committee approves of the final recipe.
Nothing beats a freshly baked cookie right out of the oven.
What you don't see in this picture are all 3 of the doggies happily munching on a cookie at Holly's feet.
Doggy Donuts anyone?

Cake or Death?
This is a clip that my girls have been giggling about for 2 weeks. Originally they found it on www.cakewrecks.com I suppose you must get a kick out of British humor. It also helps to watch the whole comedy routine about the Church of England. I found it on YouTube, while it is quite funny, I cannot endorse it for the language that the comedian uses.
Yesterday Lee's ship was treated to tickets for a noon game at Harbor Park. The Captain of the ship gave the crew an option of work or baseball. Holly chimed in with " Sounds like cake or death to me!"

The Grill Masters
Lee got one of his Fathers Day gifts early this year. It was actually more of a Mothers Day gift seeing as how it will save my meal prep time and efforts exponentially. Plus we bought it back in May when the weather began to warm up and grill season was getting into full swing. I supposed you've guessed that the gift was a grill. I'm pretty sure I know how Lee feels about it (he's a little protective of his shiny new toy) and I LOVE the thing!!
If you know anything about our Gracie girl (AKA little Martha) then you know that she would never let the chance to assemble something slip through her fingers. She basically told her daddy " I got this". He had ZERO choice in whether or not he would have a helper in the grill assembly process.
Here they are counting nuts and bolts. They may look like they are on the same page but believe me it was all Lee could do to keep her from grabbing that screwdriver
and getting right down to business. "Who cares if some screws are missing! C'mon Daddy lets get this thing knocked out!" I'm a little afraid that miss Gracie and I are cut from the same cloth in that regard.
Her little hands turned out to be quite a benefit when trying to fit into those tight little spaces.
Here's a prime example of two opposite personalities at work. Gracie is busily putting pieces together, just working away like a little beaver. Lee on the other hand is a page behind her in the direction booklet checking to make sure she's done it correctly.
Both of them were troopers though and worked together very well for the couple hours it took to get it finished.
The delicious, end results are a very happy mom and two proud grill masters!
Nothing beats nicely grilled food on the table that I did not have to cook.

Summer Swim Begins
The girls are swimming again! Hooray!
We just had our first meet on the Suffolk Gators swim team. The girls did GREAT!
It took us a little while to convince the Daddy to wear a shirt that says Gators on it. BUT you know how good daddies are, they'll do almost anything for their little girls.
Here's the Super Swim Mom at work with her trusty stopwatch.
Ab's takes off
Gracie readies herself for her anchor spot on the relay team
Holly set to fly
There's the beautiful swimmers in their Gator suits. Gracie was finished with her races and got changed into warmer clothes. Believe it or not, it was cold a few nights ago.

Fairy Bread
Fairy Bread, ever heard of it? Me either. That is until earlier this week when I learned of this nifty little snack that Australian children have been enjoying for years. No Australian child's birthday party would be complete without it so I'm told. When I first heard about Fairy Bread from a friend I thought "my children CANNOT go into adulthood without having tried Fairy Bread". Like any good homeschooling mommy would do I went right out and bought the ingredients. We had a "cultural" lesson today. That's what we'll call it... cultural.
Fairy Bread calls for 3 items.
1. Very fresh, fluffy white bread
2. Butter
3. Millions of Hundreds and Thousands
(those tiny, colorful balls that you sprinkle on cakes and cookies)
I was told that the more outlandish the colors the better.
You cut the bread into shapes with cookie cutters. Spread it with soft butter and sprinkle it with the colorful Hundreds and Thousands. We went about it the easy way and poured the sprinkles into a plate then turned the buttered bread over onto the sprinkles.
That's when the girls got crazy and decided to use marshmallow fluff instead of butter. In the end it looked like a herd of sticky fairies had buzzed through my kitchen!
We decided that this treat might be a little too girly for boys, so we came up with another idea. You could use peanut butter or Nutella instead of butter and call it Fairies Stuck in the Mud Bread.
As for the taste of this Australian delicacy? Let's just say that a lot more fun was had in the making than the eating.

Old Friend
This is probably the best family picture we've had made in a long time. The funny thing is that is was done in the dark, in a 7-11 parking lot in front of an 18 wheeler and it was taken with a cell phone camera. Who needs Olin Mills?!
Why the 18 wheeler? Our friend Dan that we met MANY moons ago way back at Toccoa Falls College drives this big rig. He is an over the road truck driver and just happened to be passing through our corner of the world a few weeks ago. He surprised us by stopping in while we were at church. It was good to share a meal and a sermon with an old friend. Dan let the girls climb up in the truck and have a look around. Ever since then we have had a newfound respect for the truck drivers. Now when we pass a red one on the road we say a little prayer for Mr Dan.

Where O Where Have The Scholars Gone?
I just have to rant for a few minutes. Here's the story: I'm trying to sell a few used items on Craigslist. I've been getting responses from people who are interested in buying our items by way of email. Let me just tell you that I have been dumbfounded by the lack of English language skills these people have. I have not had one single email yet that has not been rife with grammar mistakes and/or spelling mistakes. Most of them have not used as much as one comma in punctuation. Periods and question marks have evidently gone the way of the 8 track cassette player. What baffles me is that these people are probably high school graduates, maybe even college graduates. Maybe I should not be so judgmental but am I the only one who makes assumptions about someone's overall intelligence based on the way they write or speak? Here are a couple of grammar mistakes that I have seen a lot of lately. I don't know why exactly but these two particular mistakes just get on my nerves. I know, I know... I need to get over it and move on.
The first mistake is the misuse of the words past and pass.
My mom-in-law actually had an email notice go around the office where she worked announcing that a co-worker's relative had past. We are guessing they meant the person passed away. As in died. Mom-in-law was not the author of said email, she's way smarter than that. We did have a good chuckle over the obvious and funny mistake.
I was recently given directions to a specific location telling me to go pass the 7-11 on the right. Pass it where or to whom should I pass it? Maybe the 7-11 took a test and I should go give it a passing grade?
A friend of mine sent photos of her pass for me to look at. I saw lots of pictures from when she was a child (her past) but not a single one of her pass.
Why is this so difficult?! If you don't see the mistakes here then please go crack open a fourth grade grammar book.
OK, the second little grammar peeve I have is the misuse of the words then and than. I cannot tell you how many times I read the word "then" when it should be "than".
Incorrect: I have better language skills then the average Craigslist user.
Correct: I have better language skills than the average Craigslist user.
Incorrect: If you want to appear intelligent than you should work on your language skills.
Correct: If you want to appear intelligent then you should work on your language skills.
Maybe English is just too difficult for some folks? I can understand that. It isn't exactly an easy language to master. The fact of the matter is though that MOST of us spend 12-13 years learning the ins and outs of the English language. So I'm trying to figure out who failed. Are the teachers no longer teaching or are the students no longer learning?
I'm done with my rant now. I better run this post through spell check to make sure I have all my words spelled correctly. I don't want to end up with egg on my face.

Garden News
God watered our garden for us yesterday and today. This picture was taken about 2 weeks ago. The plants have nearly doubled in size since then. So from left to right we are growing pom-poms and bricks, okra, bricks, bush beans, summer squash and pop-poms, zucchini squash, bricks and pom-poms, and carrots. There's also some marigolds growing in there but you can't see them in the picture. Ok I'm guessing that if you're normal and have ANY gardening skills you are wondering why there are pom-poms and bricks "growing" our garden. The pom-poms are deer, bunny and racoon repellants.....of course. Makes perfect sense right? It was Gracie's idea....of course. The bricks are for throwing at the pesky critters that can't resist the pretty pom-poms.

It also said that I tend to be messy. Inconceivable! I think I'll go check my email now, or maybe pay bills or should I go outside and weed the garden? Wait, have I eaten breakfast yet? What to do...

26 September 2015 : We arranged to meet my youngest sister Jenny at Van Gaalen's Cheese Farm in Hartebeespoort this morning. She had a huge crisis at work (she runs her own transport company) so while we waited for her the three of us sat under the trees in the restaurant and had something to drink and a chef's platter (cheese, cold meat, bread and salad) as we had not had breakfast and relaxed. When Jenny joined us she was still quite wound up about the challenges she had this morning but we chatted and before long she had relaxed a bit.
We ordered two more platters and a beef kroketten meal and while we ate we did a lot of catching up as it has been quite a while since we last saw her. Can't wait for our next visit!!!

Basically I was struggling with a food ritual I do that has led to restriction. I was texting her about it because I was trying not to do it and needed support. She then told me that " 'normal' eaters wouldn't do it." Woah...what? Brakes on...why are we talking about normal eating?
You see these past few months of fighting weight gain and struggling with that and fighting to switch over to exchange based system and just being so focused on not being anorexic...well it has me purely focused on anorexia. Somehow my end goal has become gaining weight...no wonder I struggle. The whole reason I developed this disorder was to control weight gain so fighting for a goal I don't want is well....pointless. But normal eating....why that's something I want.
|Normal eating can set me free!
In fact I realized that's always been the point of treatment. When I am inpatient or residential the reasons they have so many rules about how you eat the food is to avoid doing behaviors that aren't normal. If the goal was just to gain weight....they wouldn't care how we ate they would just care that we ate.
If the end goal of nutritional therapy was to gain weight...I would never have to see an outpatient nutritionist when I left inpatient treatment and was at my goal weight, but treatment centers always made me. Why? Because I still wasn't normal with food. I still had a mistrust. I still had distorted behaviors and beliefs around it.
This may seem trivial...realizing I am in treatment not to gain weight, but to become a normal eater. But it's far from trivial. You see I can accept the task of learning how to eat much more than learning that it's okay to gain weight. I can kind of look at nutrition and my meal plan as a class and all I am doing is learning how to eat again. So I have to stop the minor behaviors I have because they stand in the way of my "learning."
Another groundbreaking thing from this....I have lost the excuse I have with some of my behaviors. You see whenever I am using some of my ED behaviors like skimping portions I rationalize it because I say it doesn't matter if I am gaining weight anyway. If I am gaining weight doing it and my end goal is to gain weight....then I have met the goal and don't have to get rid of it. But if my end goal is "normal" eating and I take prepackaged items and leave some behind "just in case" it's too big....well that's not normal and it stands in the way of my goal. Weight gain, loss, or maintenance plays no factor...it's just the "normalcy" of the behavior that matters.
Same thing with eating the same, safe food or with meal timing...pretty much everything I still do that I justify as okay because I don't think it will stand in the way of my gaining weight. If it is not part of the "normal" eating I am supposed to be practicing...then it can't be a part of my life. It needs to be talked about with my team and removed.
There is also a positive side to all this. It also means that the weeks I don't gain because my body decides to rev its metabolism...that weight isn't a sign of my success or failure. How I did in practicing "normal" eating is what is a measure of my success. Actually, come to think about it, if my goal of treatment isn't reaching some ideal weight, but is normal eating, then I have no reason to think of weight whatsoever. Now, my team's goal may be weight gain, but if that's not my goal, then weight is only something my team has to focus on. All I have to do throughout the week is focus on whether my behaviors are normal, not whether they are making me gain weight (which leads to an obsession about how fast that is or is no happening).
So for this week I am going to try and look at my actions with a new perspective/goal in mind: I want to be a "normal" eater. My meal plan is the practice I need at normal amounts of intake and frequency. My meals and snacks are chances to practice normal eating techniques.
Anyone else want to join the fight to normalcy? Found this quote below, just to remind us this fight for freedom and normalcy won't be easy, but WE ARE COURAGEOUS!

The Client
It simply does not exist anywhere physically. Senator from Maine helps readers to explore varied viewpoints. And this morning we have already reported sales manager. The remainder of the goods will not be earlier than Friday. Call the director dressed head of sales. Click Jonah Bloom to learn more. Director: And you're out there wiser? You also have to give a car, but you yourself refused to take. Head of Sales: Who refused? We have refused? (Calling the manager, said he had about the failure). Yes, we have refused, because the party was not complete, and not like twice for delivery to one place to pay.
And now we want to take, because the client conflicts, as they now do not have cars. Director: That is not a logistics department "kosyachit, and you do not want to drive? Head of Sales: Sorry, I've just learned about this. Director: Customer agrees to supply part of the goods today, and part of next week? Heard as head of sales ask your manager about the customer's consent. Director: Give up manager Your client agrees to supply part of the goods? Manager: I do not know. He shouted into the phone so that I was afraid to ask him. Director: And why he started to cry? Manager: So he was waiting for the goods until 12:00, and we have not brought.
Director: And you're in how many knew that the supplies would not be? Manager: At 11:00 I said purchase. Director: You're warned customer? Manager: None. We both him last time have already been detained, he was not very pleased.

What is Sweet and Sour Pork?
Sweet and Sour Pork, the ubiquitous and arguably the most well-known Chinese recipe (and certainly Chinese pork recipes) in the world, is a classic Cantonese dish. Called "咕嚕肉" or "goo lou yok" in Cantonese dialect, sweet and sour pork is very pleasing to the palate because of the flavorsome sweet and sour sauce—the sweetness from sugar plus the tangy ketchup and sharp rice vinegar—with the crispy fried pork pieces. (You can check out my sweet and sour chicken recipe.) The green and red bell peppers and pineapple pieces are just icing on the cake.
The Secret is in the Sauce
The secret of an authentic sweet and sour pork dish lies in the perfect balance of the sweet vs. sour taste of the sauce. To master sweet and sour pork is not about the technique of stir-frying nor the use of the freshest ingredients, although both are equally important and wouldn't hurt. To me, the sweet and sour sauce is the soul of this dish. If you fail the sweet and sour sauce, you fail sweet and sour pork. With that in mind, I will teach you how to make that perfect homemade sweet and sour sauce and share my secret ingredients!
Homemade Sweet and Sour Sauce
While traditional Chinese/Cantonese sweet and sour pork recipe calls for the use of rice vinegar and ketchup to bring out the sour taste, I also use plum sauce to add some extra zing, plus a few dashes of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce and oyster sauce to complete a harmony balance. They are my secret ingredients and do make a nice difference in terms of taste, in my honest opinion.
A Note about Frying Batter
Other than the sauce, the frying batter for sweet and sour pork is also important. In my recipe below, you will find the instructions and exact measurements to make the batter. It is simply awesome! A lot of Chinese pork recipes will be fried, so this batter can be applicable for other dishes. A great batter recipe promises crispy and crunchy coating for the pork.
Sweet and Sour Pork Secret Ingredients
1. Plum Sauce
2. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
3. Oyster Sauce (my not-so-secret seasoning medium)
Discard the canned pineapple juice or orange juice in the Americanized sweet and sour pork recipe, and try out my secret ingredients above the next time you prepare sweet and sour pork.
Anyway, once you master the techniques of homemade sweet and sour sauce, you can pretty much whip up any sweet and sour dish in a jiffy: pork, chicken, fish, or shrimp…just don't tell Panda Express my secret recipe!

BlackBerry shares fell on Friday despite the smartphone maker announcing better-than-expected orders for the new Passport phone, as well as slashing losses.
The Canadian company lost $148m (£95m) for the three months to 29 November, a dramatic turnaround from the $4.4bn loss for the same period a year earlier.
However, sales were $793m – significantly below analysts' expectations of $927.8m and almost $400m lower than last year.
In September BlackBerry launched the Passport – an unconventional smartphone about the size of a closed passport with a large square touchscreen as well as a keyboard.
John Chen, chief executive, said the flagship model sold out "a number of times in the quarter", creating a backlog of orders that reduced revenue in the period.
While some 200,000 Passports were sold, he said that some orders slipped into the fourth quarter. It is now available in the UK for about £460 unlocked on a network or from £28 a month on contract with a network such as O2.
Chen said recently: "BlackBerry has survived; now we have to start looking at growth."
Shares fell 5% to $9.57 in New York, valuing the company at $5bn. The stock has risen more than 25% this year as fears that BlackBerry could go under abated.
Chen, who took over in late 2013, set a goal of selling 10m phones a year – just a quarter of the number of iPhones sold by Apple in three months.
This week BlackBerry launched the Classic, essentially the Bold in a different case, which has the traditional keyboard beloved of many BlackBerry users despite the wholesale move to touchscreens on almost all smartphones.
The company hopes its core business user customer base will embrace the Classic, with the new device.
BlackBerry now accounts for only a small fraction of US smartphone sales after controlling almost half the market as recently as 2009. It is still making handsets despite trying to become an enterprise security and consumer software business.
It said that 46% of revenues came from hardware, with another 46% from services. Software and other revenue accounted for 8%.

We'll start this roundup with a necklace that i inherited from my Great Aunts - Edie and Jerry. They travelled all over the world and i've received so many awesome pieces from their collections over the years that sometimes i can't remember to which sister a piece originally belonged. I do know that they bought this necklace in China outside of the Forbidden City. The beads are hand-painted and hand-knotted onto silk. It is beautiful and rather heavy, but this is only the second time i've worn it in a decade as i am always afraid that something bad is going to happen to it if it leaves my room. Let's face it, i'm not gonna be able to replace it anytime in the near future.
This articulated fish is also from Asia. My mom's boss brought it to her from a trip overseas sometime in the 80's and i acquired it about 15 years later. It didn't get worn often because it didn't have a chain, but i found this one in the 25-pound box of discarded jewelry and lo and behold it is exactly the right length.
Plus, my stepmother bought me these little blue fish earrings a few Christmases ago that exactly match;
Matching is what led to me weaving gold chains through my loopy bun after converting some broken bracelet chains into long earrings.
On days when i don't have to wear my uniform my jewelry choices can be inspired by just about anything, like the day that i really wanted to wear these polka dottted socks,
which led to pearl studs in 3 different sizes, a pearl and light blue beaded choker (which is, BTW the first necklace i ever made, approximately 10 thousand years ago), and a long set of blue pearls inherited from my grandma that i looped as a bracelet.
|double round pearl and gold circles
|pink bead clusters on double buns
|perfect for my first beading class
|standard bun with a pair of white flowers
|did i mention these pearly beauties were 40 cents?
|some random bling from the big box
Check out this awesome enamel flower that a found in my exact uniform color for only $3!
And these flowers with uniform-colored stones. Yes!
Though this is not a good picture of this pin atop my maiden braids at Oktoberfest, hopefully you can see the pink stones. This pin was scavenged from a junk jar 10 years ago and languished as half of its original crystals had turned yellow. Over the summer i popped them all out and replaced them with pink crystals that i've had for probably 20 years.
At a yard sale i totally scored these four dyed stone necklaces that i wore part of the day twirled together and part of the day separated over a purple sweater. I remember my 9th grade English teacher had sets of those beads that she wrap together and link as a chunky choker: it was an 80's thing. I was fascinated back then and delighted to find all four for $1, though i doubt i will be wearing them as a choker anytime ever.
Finally, a pin that i actually wore as a pin. This blue-eyed, white stoned beauty was a perfect accessory when i met fTM Amy at the sushi buffet.
Day by day all of my jewelry will get worn or it had to go.

Dar, J.
1. This is a reference, dated 26th September 1941, by the Munsif of Pilibhit under Section 289, U.P. Tenancy Act (17 of 1939), by which he has referred the following issue for the determination of this Court:
Whether in view of the change introduced by the Legislature in Sections 44, 271, 273 and 230 of Local Act 3 of 1926 which find place as Sections 180, 286, 288 and 242, respectively in Act 17 of 1939, the law laid down in the Full Bench ruling in Mohammad Muslim v. Maharania : AIR1927All369 is still the law of the land?
2. This reference is made by the Munsif in relation to a suit which is pending in his Court for recovery of possession of four plots of land situated in mohal Lakhan of village Beharipur Bhaira in Pilibhit district. The plaintiffs, Parmeshwari Das and others, and the defendant, Angan Lal, at one time were the joint proprietors of the aforesaid mohal. At the instance of the defendant, an imperfect partition of the mohal was made by the revenue Court and two pattis were formed, namely Gulabi and Asmani, the former of which was allotted to the defendant and the latter to the plaintiffs. According to the terms of the partition, any khudkasht plots of a co-sharer of less than ten years standing was not to be regarded as the sir of that cosharer if the khudkasht plots were allotted to the patti of the other cosharer. The plots in dispute Nos. 438, 439, 569/3 and 572/1 were the khudkasht of the defendant but of less than ten years and they were allotted at the partition to the patti of the plaintiffs. The partition came in force from 1346 P., but notwithstanding the coming into force of the partition the defendant continued his khudkasht in the plots in dispute, and as a result the plaintiffs raised an action in the Court of the Munsif of Pilibhit for the ejectment of the defendant and for recovery of Rs. 50 as compensation for wrongful use and occupation of the plots. The plaintiffs alleged that the possession of the defendant was in contravention of the mode of partition settled between the parties and was wrongful and consequently the defendant was liable to ejectment and to pay compensation. A preliminary issue arose in the case whether the suit was cognizable by the civil Court. The Munsif expressed the view that under the previous Tenancy Act (3 of 1926), and in view of the authorities of this Court pronounced on that statute the suit would have been cognizable by the civil Court, but the Tenancy Act (17 of 1939) which is now in force and which had repealed the previous statute has been materially changed and in view of the change, it is doubtful whether the authorities of this Court on the previous statute can now be regarded as good law. Taking this view of the matter, he formulated the above question and has referred it to us under Section 289, U.P. Tenancy Act (17 of 1939).
3. As we read Clauses (1), (4) and (5) of Section 289, they do not seem to authorize a direct reference of an issue or question of law for the determination of this Court. That section only authorizes a civil or revenue Court when it is in doubt, whether it is competent to entertain any suit, to submit the record of the cases with a statement of the reasons for its doubt to the High Court and on such reference being made the High Court may order the Court either to proceed with the ease, or to return the plaint for presentation to such other Court as it may declare to be competent to try the same, and the order of the High Court shall be final and binding on all Courts subordinate to it or to the Board. Strictly speaking, the Munsif after stating the reasons for his doubt should have sought direction from this Court as to whether he should go on with the suit or return the plaint for presentation to some other Court, and he should not have formulated the question or issue for the answer to be made by this Court. We do not, therefore, propose to answer the question propounded by him, but in giving the direction about the disposal of the suit pending before him naturally we shall have to take into consideration the question of law raised by the Munsif and to express our views upon it.
4. The suit before the Munsif is, what is popularly known as, a title suit in which the plaintiffs seek to eject the defendant on the basis of their title alleging that the defendant in contravention of the terms of the mode of partition is in possession of the property without any title and claim compensation for wrongful use and occupation. It relates to four plots of land situated in an agricultural village which plots for sometime past have been under cultivation of the defendant. In the Agra Tenancy Act (3 of 1926), under Section 44, a right was given to the proprietor of the land to eject a trespasser and to recover damages to the extent of four times the annual rental value of the land, and by Section 230 of the Act the jurisdiction of the civil Court was barred with regard to suits which were provided in. Schedule 4 of the Act and a suit by the proprietor against the trespasser was provided at serial No. 2 of group B. A question arose whether notwithstanding these provisions the civil Court retained its jurisdiction to eject a trespasser or not and in a series of decisions including a Pull Bench decision, this Court maintained the view that the civil Court retained its jurisdiction to eject a trespasser and Section 44, Agra Tenancy Act (3 of 1926), only provided an alternative and speedier remedy to eject a trespasser: see Debi Sahai v. Daulat : AIR1927All346 ; Mohammad Muslim v. Maharania : AIR1927All369 ; Mt. Raji v. Ram Lagan : AIR1930All304 ; Nazir Singh v. Lakhu Ahir : AIR1935All422 ; Jagdamba Singh v. Ram Sarup : AIR1937All415 and Lachhmina Kunwari v. Makfula Kunwari : AIR1938All316 .
5. The main arguments in support of this view were two. Firstly that Section 230, Agra Tenancy Act (3 of 1926) excluded the jurisdiction of other Courts in relation to suits 'based on a cause of action in respect of which adequate relief could be obtained by means of a suit' in the revenue Court, and Section ii, Agra Tenancy Act, limited the claim of damages to four times the annual rental value of the holding. It was, therefore, manifest that where adequate relief could not be obtained from revenue Court, for example, where the claim for damages exceeded the limit prescribed by the Tenancy Act or where along with agricultural land non-agricultural land also was a subject-matter of ejectment, the plaintiff could not get adequate relief from the revenue Court if he were compelled to institute a suit in the revenue Court and consequently such suits would lie in civil Courts. And secondly, Section 273, Agra Tenancy Act, provided that if in any suit relating to an agricultural holding instituted in a civil Court the defendant pleads that he holds such land as the tenant of the plaintiff or of a person in possession holding from the plaintiff, the civil Court shall frame an issue on the plea of tenancy and secure a finding from the revenue Court on that issue and shall determine the suit accepting the finding of the revenue Court. The statute, therefore, obviously contemplated institution of suits in relation to agricultural holdings in a civil Court and if the entire jurisdiction of the civil Court with regard to agricultural holdings was to be excluded this section would become superfluous.
6. By the U.P. Tenancy Act (17 of 1939), Section 180 takes place of the previous Section 44, Section 242 of the previous Section 230 and Section 288 of the previous Section 272. But one important amendment has been made in one of these sections, namely, 230 old which corresponds to 242 new. The old provision which excluded jurisdiction of the civil Court only when adequate relief could be granted by the revenue Court has now assumed a different form and the important word 'adequate' has been deleted from the section and the section now excluded jurisdiction of all suits 'based on a cause of action in respect of which relief could be obtained by means of any such suit' in revenue Court. And the whole controversy in the case is whether as a result of this amendment the jurisdiction of civil Court is excluded in suits against a trespasser even when the plaintiff cannot get full relief from the revenue Court and even in cases where he can get only partial or insignificant relief. In our opinion, the fact that the word 'adequate' which previously existed in the section and does not find place in the new section does not make any real difference on the question of the interpretation of the section. Even now, the section excludes only those suits based on a cause of action in respect of which relief could be obtained by means of any such suit' in the revenue Court, and though the word 'relief' may not mean the entire relief at the same time it does not mean insignificant relief and the natural meaning of the word relief as occurring in the section is that it must be either the relief which the plaintiff claims or a substantial portion of it. In our opinion, the amendments made in the U.P. Tenancy Act (17 of 1939) do not substantially affect the grounds upon which Mohammad Muslim v. Maharania : AIR1927All369 was decided or the subsequent cases which followed that decision and the law laid down in those cases is still good law. We accordingly direct the Munsif to proceed with the case.

If you're mailing—or even thinking of mailing—a flat in the near future, you need to know that the new rules will probably impact on your design. Worse yet, if you don't play the game by the USPS's rules, your postage will escalate because you'll sacrifice automation discounts.
Pause for a breath as you ponder the possibilities.
Ready to proceed? We'll take it slow.
What's a "flat"? Mail that is larger than 6-1/8" x 11.5" but not exceeding 12" x 15" is called a "flat." I'm sure there must be some historic reason for this odd name, but I don't know it. Ideas, anyone?
What's the change? The location of the address block will hence forward be at the top of the mail piece. Currently most mailers put the address block at the bottom. (Think of your Time Magazine.) The new regs say you can put the address on either the front or the back (more on this critical point later), but the address cannot read upside down and must be within the top half of the mailpiece.
If your design calls for the address block at the bottom, you're in trouble—unless you're mailing this week. Which brings up…
When does the change take effect? This Sunday, March 29th.
What classes of mail are affected? First Class Presort, periodicals, standard mail, bound printed matter, media mail and Library rate mail sent at automation, presorted or carrier route price levels.
That just about covers the gamut, I think.
Have I lost you yet? Here are the details:
Self-mailers (ie pieces mailing without envelopes, like magazines, newspapers, annual reports and newsletters). The post office considers the spine to be the leading edge. The spine is the side with saddlestitches (staples) or folds. That's why you can put the address on either the front or the back—it depends on where your spine is!
Hold your piece so the spine is on the right, in the "leading edge" position. The address block must be at the top. The address may be horizontal (ie parallel to the top edge) or vertical to the top edge. Vertical addresses can read left or right, and may cross the midpoint only if the address area begins or ends within 1" of the top edge. Address blocks parallel to the top edge cannot read upside down.
Envelopes. Horizontal format (ie booklet envelope) is acceptable, but the "top" is defined as the left or right side edge. Only a bureaucracy could call a side the "top" but anyway, the address must be fully on the left or the right of an imaginary midpoint line. So if you're mailing a 9x12 booklet envelope, the "top" is the 9" side; and the midpoint is 6" from the left and right edges.
Got it?
What to know more details? OK, you asked for it…
Type must be at least 8-point. Barcodes need at least 4".And the USPS prefers sans-serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
Don't worry, Paul&Partners will take care of the last three points when you mail with us, if you give us the space to work with. Be sure you allow for an area where we can put an address without obliterating your critical art. And be sure to block out a white area for your barcode. If it is too late in your design process to make changes at this time, we'll create labels and affix them in the required spot. So all is not lost.
However, if you do have time, rally your art department. They need to know that the rules which have been in effect since the flood are null and void in just 5 days.
Remember the threat about losing your automation discount if you don't conform and comply? That's post office speak for play with our rules or pay more. Maybe a lot more.
On standard flats, you could see your 5-digit mail increase by 2.7 cents each; and your 3-digit mail increase by over 5 cents apiece.
And it only gets worse.
Are you still with me? Eyes glazing over yet? Need help in deciphering what this change means to you?
Call Paul&Partners and we'll help you figure it all out. 703-996-0800.

I feel like I've been punched in the stomach
My brother called me yesterday. From his car, on his way home from vacation, to tell me that his wife is 11 weeks pregnant.
Nice chickenshit move there, bro. I guess they didn't want to deal with telling me in person, like grownups.
That also means that they practically ran right out from my hospital room and got knocked up. I don't think they were trying prior to that - they just got married not even a year ago, and they only closed on their house a month ago. I guess there's nothing like a dead baby to get everyone in the procreating spirit!
I know I sound like the world's most horrible person. I can't help it. I would never say these things to anyone ever. But I can't help that I'm thinking them. This was the ONE THING I was dreading - I had a sixth sense this was going to happen, and it was the ONE THING I wanted to avoid.

1. Start registering for a boy or girl: We found out that we are having a girl!! As for registering, I have set up an account with Target and diapers.com, but have not put anything on them yet. I'll need to get on that soon. I found theis super cute purple Minnie Mouse themed set! (photos from here).
So if I don't end up getting these, that's OK-there are SO many cute car seats, high chairs, strollers, pack 'n' plays, etc. So many options, I don't know how I'll every decide! I may have to call on the aid of my wonderful husband to help me narrow down my options.
2. Make a healthy meal plan: For the past couple of days, we've actually been doing well! I'm probably more excited than I should be for only two days, but the beginning of this month was TERRIBLE! We had so much junk food in the house, and we were eating it every day throughout the day! I have finally found good lettuce at Aldi! I actually want to eat salads now! haha, so that's been my lunch sometimes.
We've also stopped eating so much sugar, and tried to eat at home often. Cutting out mostly processed stuff helps a TON. I also found a yummy, decently healthy muffin recipe. The whole website where I got the recipe is "real food" oriented, and I'm scouring this site and other similar ones for ideas.
3. Exercise Five times per week: Hmmmm.....Well I haven't been a total slacker, but I haven't accomplished five days-usually three or four days a week. I have walked with my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law twice this week at the Maury County Park, and I have gotten on my elliptical while watching cake boss. Today it is raining...so I'm GOING to get on the elliptical again! At least I get to watch people making cake while I'm exercising...
4. Road Trip: Haven't gone yet. Will update when this happens.
5. Update Birth Plan: I haven't actually looked at my birth plan this month. My doctor's appointment is next Tuesday, so I'll probably blog about the appointment, and check on my birth plan then.
So far so good! If any of y'all are trying to keep goals, let me know how you are doing!

2. Black Sabbath – 13
Heavy metal pioneers, Black Sabbath, reunited in late 2011, showing the world that they still have the power after all these years through this phenomenal release and a world tour.
3. Alter Bridge – Fortress
As a band comprised of all of the members of Creed except for singer Scott Stapp, Alter Bridge continue to portray their superior sound, much different from the former group. With lead vocalist Myles Kennedy in the limelight, Alter Bridge are virtually unstoppable, as confirmed by Fortress.
4. Eminem – Marshall Mathers LP2
The sequel to 2000's Marshall Mathers LP, 2013's Marshall Mathers LP2 affirms that angry Eminem is indeed the best Eminem. With the necessary controversial insults and the use of a variety of rapping styles, this new effort is arguably his best yet. From the Beastie Boys-esque "Berzerk" to the lightning speed spitting on "Rap God" to the voice-altering style on "Love Game," Eminem surprises the listener with the vast versatility he possesses.

MusicTalker's Best Albums of 2013
1. Killswitch Engage – Disarm The Descent
[CONCERT REVIEW] Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake Got 99 Problems But Fenway Ain't One (8/11/13)
On their second consecutive night performing at Fenway Park, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake succeeded with their promise of "bringing the party" to Sunday night's crowd.
Opening with "Holy Grail" from Jay-Z's new record, Magna Carta…Holy Grail, the "Legends of Summer" woke up the crowd from the get-go. They subsequently powered through Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body," Jay-Z's "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)," and a short cover of "I Want You Back" by The Jackson Five.
After the first handful of songs, the duo started to gradually give the fans more of each song. Still, they rattled through a lot of material in the joint set maxing out at over two hours in duration.
One of the most entertaining moments was Timberlake playing the guitar on a couple of Jay-Z's songs. Until the camera focused on him, no one knew he was the one doing it. At that point, JT was decked out in Boston gear, including a Red Sox hat and a Boston Strong t-shirt.
While Justin was often on the stage for Jay-Z's song, the acclaimed rapper did not seem to return the favor. To be fair, JT's songs do not always have room for Jay-Z to spit a rhyme, which he nailed throughout the night.
Unlike some artists that often rely on the audience or back-up singers to either sing or rap most of their songs, Jay-Z did not really use any of those utilities. There were points where he spit faster and better than anyone could expect from him.
While the Boston Strong business seemed a bit overdone by the "Legends of Summer," it still had an impact on the crowd. The duo really connected with the packed ballpark, both during and between songs.
One last notable highlight was Jay-Z's smile peeking from behind his microphone. That was weird and unexpected, especially since his songs do not always provoke smiles, per se.
[REVIEW] Justin Timberlake's Visual Clarity in "The 20/20 Experience"
The overall concept and feel of Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience is very interesting. However, the overuse of repetition in unnecessarily lengthy songs hinders the listener's experience, blurring it to maybe a 20/40 experience. This album seems to be more suited for passive listening as there are only two of the ten songs with durations under six minutes. Given JT's musical style, it is a bit excessive having a full album of exceptionally lengthy songs. Although, he has exercised long song durations in his past two solo releases, but not to the extent of his latest CD.
The 20/20 Experience offers more of an experimental, jazzy pop type sound as opposed to the beat-oriented pop reflected on 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds or the straight-forward Top 40 material off of 2002's Justified and every N-Sync release.
For what it is, The 20/20 Experience is good. Several songs are moderately enjoyable, including "Don't Hold the Wall," "Tunnel Vision," "Spaceship Coupe," and "Let the Groove Get In." "Tunnel Vision" and "Spaceship Coupe" are probably the closest songs to what the general public would expect from the former N-Sync dreamboat. The latter actually incorporates dub-step into this jazzy pop sound.
Despite the previous criticisms, it should be known that while The 20/20 Experience may not appeal to everyone, it is indeed a musically intelligent work of art. JT has come a long way from his days with N-Sync. This new solo release dignifies Timberlake's intellectual and musical growth.

Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and so teaches others, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 5:19, emphasis added).
Jesus obviously believed that there were lesser commandments, as revealed in the quote above. He therefore must have also believed that there were greater commandments.
To their credit, the scribes and Pharisees kept the lesser commandments, yet Jesus condemned them for ignoring the greater ones:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others. You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! (Matt. 23:23-24).
God has made both little gnats and big camels. Likewise, He has given some "weighty" and "less-weighty" commandments. None should be neglected, but the person who gives all his attention to God's minor commandments and ignores the major ones is like the man who finds both a gnat and a camel in his soup, and who removes the former and swallows the latter.
Majoring on minors and minoring on majors is a fault that is universal among pharisaic and religious people, whose spirituality consists of doing what costs very little, and what is likely to be ritualistic rather than heart-felt. Going to church and paying tithes are normally high on their list. Yet notice in the just-quoted scripture that Jesus put tithing in the "less-weighty" category. As far as the biblical record is concerned, that one instance is the only time He mentioned tithing during His entire earthly ministry. And He never once uttered a word about attending church services. (He did say we should make disciples and love one another, which certainly require gathering together and interaction, but honestly, how much Luke 14:25-35 discipleship and self-denying love occurs in the average church service?)
Of greater importance, notice what Jesus listed in the "weightier" category: justice, mercy and faithfulness. These should have been no surprise to His hearers who knew Scripture. In the Old Testament, at least two of those three were listed as being "weighty" by the prophet Micah:
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? (Mic. 6:8).
I love verses that simplify spirituality, don't you?
Let's combine Jesus' and Micah's lists of "weighty commandments," which then gives us a list of four: justice, mercy, humility and faithfulness. Because they are all so "weighty" in God's eyes, let's briefly consider what it means to walk in justice, mercy, humility and faithfulness.
(1) Justice: "To do justice" implies treating everyone fairly, showing no partiality, and taking no bribes. It implies working against injustice, always being honest, and exposing what is evil (see Eph. 5:11). In the Old Testament, "doing justice" is sometimes associated with caring for the rights of orphans, widows and strangers (see Deut. 24:7, 27:19). It has always been a "weighty" commandment: "To do righteousness and justice is desired by the Lord rather than sacrifice" (Prov. 21:3, emphasis added).
Who is benefitting because of your "doing justice"?
(2) Mercy: The Hebrew word for "mercy" found in Micah's list is perhaps better translated "kindness," and in Jesus' list the Greek word can also be translated "pity" or "compassion." Meeting people's pressing needs, sharing our resources with the poor, and visiting the sick and incarcerated all fall into this category. Jesus once quoted from the prophet Hosea to emphasize the "weightiness" of compassion. Once again rebuking the Pharisees for straining out gnats and swallowing camels, He said,
But if you had known what this means, "I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice," you would not have condemned the innocent (Matt. 12:7, emphasis added).
The Pharisees were sure to bring their sacrifices to the temple, but they had little compassion for hurting people, just like those whom Hosea condemned in his day.
You will recall that when Jesus once illustrated the concept of loving one's neighbor, He told a story about someone who showed mercy. A good Samaritan had compassion upon a wounded crime victim, expending his time and treasure to help him. That victim had been ignored by two very religious men, a priest and Levite, who each doubtlessly could have quoted the second greatest commandment---but who didn't keep it (see Luke 10:25-37).
Are you more like the good Samaritan---or the priest and Levite? Who is benefiting because of your compassion?
(3) Humility: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble (see 1 Pet. 5:5). The humble live with an understanding of their dependency upon God. Humility also means considering others as being more important than ourselves and serving them (see Phil. 2:3-4). Proud people expect to be served. One of the very last things Jesus emphasized to His closest disciples was that they should wash each other's feet, humbly serving each other, following His example. In God's eyes, the servants are the greatest (see Matt. 23:11).
Whom are you humbly serving?
(4) Faithfulness: Being faithful implies keeping your promises, being consistent, and persevering when you feel like quitting. Generally speaking, it is impossible to be faithful unless you are tempted to be unfaithful. Faithful people earn the trust of God and others.
Do people who know you trust you?
For the most part, justice, mercy, humility and faithfulness are four aspects of another commandment, and one that Jesus said should be second highest on our list---loving our neighbor as ourselves (see Matt. 22:39). The only greater commandment is to love God with all our hearts. Yet how does one love God with all his heart? How is love for God expressed? Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15), and John wrote, "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments" (1 John 5:3). This being so, we keep the greatest commandment by keeping the rest of the commandments. And according to Scripture, keeping the second-greatest commandment fulfills all the rest (see Matt. 7:12, 22:40; Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 5:14).
Thus it could be rightly stated that to follow Jesus is to be a lover of others! How much more simple can it get? Of course, the kind of love of which I am speaking is more than just a feeling. It is a self-denying love that results in action.
Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the preeminence of loving others, especially fellow believers, above all other duties. Love is the camel that the gnat-focused Pharisees ignored. Love is the camel that all religious people ignore, including pharisaic "Christians," who are continually straining out gnats. What are some of those gnats? Read Paul's thoughts on the subject:
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing (1 Cor. 13:1-3).
Speaking in tongues, prophecy, and mountain-moving faith can all become strained gnats when love is missing. To be in the presence of people who are focused on such things---while self-denying love is absent---is as pleasant as sitting next to a clanging cymbal.
Did you notice a few other strained gnats that Paul mentioned? Two are (1) understanding mysteries and (2) having knowledge. Doctrine, even right and good doctrine, is meaningless apart from love. Theologians and Bible scholars beware! You are, according to Scripture, absolutely nothing without love. Some of the nastiest people I've ever met are those whose Christianity consists solely of doctrines they defend, who are ready to pounce on anyone who differs in even some minor matter. They can prove their points using Bible verses, but orphans and widows will starve waiting for a crumb from their tables.
Being a Christian is not defined by what you know or say you believe---it is defined by what you are and what you do. Doctrine that cannot be translated into action is utterly useless. Reading your Bible every day amounts to nothing if you don't do what is most important to God---love others.
But am I saying that doctrine is unimportant? No. Am I saying that giving to the poor is the only important thing? No. According to Paul, giving to the poor, if done for a motivation other than love---to be seen by others, for example, or to receive your "hundred-fold blessing"---also amounts to nothing (see 1 Cor. 13:3).
How important is loving others? Love for other believers is the mark of being born again (see 1 John 3:14). Without love, one proves he is not truly born again (see 1 John 3:14, 4:8).
How important is loving others? Our love for each other identifies us to the world as being Christ's disciples:
By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35, emphasis added).
Along those same lines, our love for one another is what will convince the world, above anything else, of the truth of the gospel, which is why Jesus prayed,
...that they may all be one...that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me....that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know that Thou didst send Me... (John 17:21, 23, emphasis added).
This being so, preaching the gospel itself can become a strained gnat if love is absent. The most effective evangelists are lovers. Both Jesus' and Paul's ministries were characterized not by just preaching the gospel, but by caring for the poor (see John 13:29; Gal 2:10). And how strange it seems for a pastor to preach the gospel while a denominational sign stands in front of his church, broadcasting to everyone who passes by, "We do not want you to associate us with other Christians who hold slightly different doctrinal beliefs." If I put a sign in front of my house that says, "My name is David Servant, and I'm a Republican!," and the next day my wife puts a sign beside mine that says, "I am Becky Servant, and I'm a Democrat," what might my neighbors conclude about our love for one another?
How important is it that we love one another? If we allow the flesh to overcome the Spirit and yield to "enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, and factions" (Gal. 5:20)---all indications of a lack of love---Paul warns us, "those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:21). Jesus likewise warned that the disciple who hatefully calls his brother a fool, "shall be guilty enough to go into the hell of fire" (Matt. 5:22). Thus if one is presenting his offering at the altar and remembers that his brother has something against him, he should leave his offering at the altar (stop focusing on the gnat), and be reconciled with his brother (no longer ignoring the camel; see Matt. 5:23-24).
How important is it to love one another? Jesus will not one day say to the sheep on His right, "You went to church...you paid your tithes...you read your Bible...you didn't smoke...your understanding of the Trinity was accurate...you had the timing of the Rapture figured out...you read only from the King James Version...your worship music was really good" or a thousand other things that seem to be what is most important to so many. Rather He will say, "I was hungry...I was thirsty...I was naked...I was sick...I was in prison...I was a stranger...and you proved your love for Me by loving the least of My brothers and sisters, expending your time and treasure." Self-denying love, or our lack of it, will reveal if we are sheep or goats at the judgment.
Church tradition tells us that the apostle John lived to be a very old man in Ephesus, where, during the last years of his life, he was carried by the disciples to the church gatherings because of his frailty. At those meetings he was accustomed to say no more than, "My dear children, love one another." His disciples, eventually weary of always hearing him say the same thing asked, "Master, why do you always say this?" "It is the Lord's command," was the reply of this elderly spiritual giant. "And if this alone be done, it is enough!"
In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets (Matt. 7:12, emphasis added)
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Gal. 5:14, emphasis added).
