4118 Oaklawn Blvd.
Hopewell, VA 23860
Last Saturday, my mother, brother and I decided to go out to lunch in Hopewell as a pre-celebration for my brother's 20th birthday on September 20th. After some very brief contemplation (there's not much to eat in Hopewell) we decided to go to K&L. Since K&L, like most of Hopewell, is stuck in the dark ages we first had to go get cash from the bank. Because Hooray for Hopewell was going on, there were 10 cars waiting in line for the ATM. After a good 20 minute wait and with $40 in hand we were off to get lunch from K&L. But to our surprise, (I'm sure most of you will say "Duh!") K&L was closed. Undeterred, we decided we felt like going to SubHub anyway. As we pulled up to SubHub a large "CLOSED" sign hung laughing in our faces. Once again, we were off in search of a decent lunch in Hopewell, a seemingly fruitless task. My mom then suggested we drive up the road to the 15th Street Café which was surprise, surprise, closed. Since we were downtown, we figured that we might as well check and see if Mim's restaurant was open. As I'm sure you guessed; it was closed.
After striking out five times, my mom said "I know where IS open." She would not tell my brother or me where she was thinking because she did not want to jinx it. We pulled up to a very familiar restaurant, El Nopal. It was OPEN. So we jumped out of the car, half starved. El Nopal is a very stereotypical Mexican restaurant. When I say stereotypical, I mean extremely stereotypical - from the murals on the walls to the blaring Spanish music. But no matter what, El Nopal provides reliable Mexican cuisine and is almost always open.
A host seated us under a huge Mexican themed mural in booths covered in the extremely bright and colorful poncho style fabric. In a matter of seconds, we had tortilla chips, white sauce and salsa on our table and had already ordered drinks. The staff at El Nopal is quite pleasant. They are fast and friendly and speak pretty good English, though some are a lot better than others. The chips at El Nopal differ from trip to trip. Sometimes they are warm, crunchy and taste fresh but today they were cold and stale. This did not matter too much to us after we dipped them into the mysterious but delicious white sauce, which they call Blanco sauce. Blanco is white is Spanish, so the mystery surrounding this sweet concoction remains. If El Nopal stopped serving the white sauce I do not believe that I would frequent the restaurant any longer, it is just that good. The salsa on the other hand is very watery and too spicy for my taste. I have been known to mix the two with rather delicious results though. I call that pink or Rosado sauce. I can't swear if any of the appetizers, chips and dips, are made fresh in the restaurant but I would venture to say that they are not.
While munching on chips, we browsed El Nopal's expansive menu. While El Nopal may not be the greatest Mexican restaurant in the world it does have one of the largest menus I've ever seen in one. It has every Mexican dish you could ever imagine and much to my delight it has a huge seafood selection. I must admit that I have a weakness for shrimp, scallops and crab meat. It does not matter if I'm at a Mexican, Italian or Chinese restaurant my eyes and stomach are always immediately drawn to the seafood section. Today was no different, I ordered the Burrito Del Mar.
My burrito was stuffed with jumbo shrimp, scallops, onions, peppers, squash and zucchini; smothered in cheese sauce and served on a bed of rice and beans with lettuce and sour cream on the side. The shrimp, scallops and vegetables were all cooked well, pleasantly seasoned but nothing really stood out as truly excellent. Overall, it was a tasty burrito and for $7.95, on the lunch menu, it was a pretty good deal; but I also felt that it was quite run of the mill and could probably be found at any Mexican restaurant with some being better and some being worse. I do enjoy that most entrees at El Nopal can be covered in your choice of sauce. I always order mine covered in cheese sauce. I feel that while adding flavor it does not completely overwhelm the other flavor in the dish, like other Mexican sauces can. This is especially important with mildly flavored seafood dishes.
My burrito really sums up El Nopal as a whole. While it is good, reliable, convenient and better than most of the other Mexican restaurants in the Tri-Cities (I'm talking about you, El Corporal and Don Jose) it is not amazing. For these reasons, if you are in the Tri-Cities and hankering for Mexican food I recommend eating at El Nopal. You will neither be disappointed nor blown away but you will be full and have eased your cravings for a reasonable price.

A friend called the other day to comment on my post about the Word of Faith movement. He didn't post the comment; he wanted to talk to me personally. He and I have known each other through thin and thin; and in the Pentecostal "stream," shall we call it, he's seen up close, as a congregant and associate pastor, only the Word of Faith school.
By the way, I think this is one reason I'm a bit less bitter than so many ex-WoF folks: I grew up in a true, classical Pentecostal denomination, with a doctrinal statement and a central government that kept the local churches accountable for what they taught and did. The churches that go into the Word of Faith movement, from what I've seen, have been bodies in fellowships or in associations and affiliations, or independent churches: Local bodies whose pastors are really subject to no head, though they'll tell you that "Christ is our head." What that means in practice is that they can do what they wish and teach what they wish; and if they go off-kilter, no one is there to call them out. That's a breeding ground for heresy.
My friend brought up one thing I hadn't mentioned, but had meant to. He thinks (and I do agree) that part of the problem with Pentecostal (by which he really means "Word of Faith") churches is the unique interpretations of Scripture, bits and pieces ripped out of place and used to buttress any new "revelation" that takes the fancy of the pastor/teacher. These are people who look for the "hidden meaning" of Scripture. What it plainly says isn't enough; at least, it isn't enough for them.
My friend thinks all this would be cured by good expository preaching. I think he has a point, up to a point. I strongly believe that one thing the WoF preachers and teachers need to repent of is giving new, out-of-context meaning to Scripture. The Bible says what it says, and the things written in it—all the stories and letters and commandments—had a specific meaning to the people who wrote them.
I once read that the rules for reading the Bible were really simple; ask yourself these questions as you read:
- Who is speaking, and to what audience?
- What exactly is being said?
- What did it mean for them then?
- What (if anything) does it mean for me/us now?
The problem is that if we don't do the third part—understanding what a message meant then, to the people who heard it then—we'll mess up the fourth part. And sometimes, we go with the "everything in the Bible has meaning" mantra and come up with some really silly scenarios. Because everything in the Bible might very well have meaning; but not all of the meanings are explained.
Case in point: When Elisha healed the dead son of the Shunamite woman (see 2 Kings 4:32-35), he stretched himself on the dead boy's body and walked around and then stretched himself on the boy's body again. As the boy came to life, he sneezed seven times. Now what's that all about? What's the meaning of those seven sneezes? Why is that in the Bible? Well, it's in there because…the boy sneezed. That's all the Bible says. And yet, somewhere, I'll bet someone has given a message on the Seven Sneezes That Bring Life (try this link for something close—and, by the way, the writer is not Pentecostal). Where God says nothing, maybe we'd best shut up, too, rather than looking for something that isn't there.
Will expository preaching solve the problem? No. Because the problem isn't with how we teach; it's with why we teach. For I have a sneaking suspicion that those folks who come up with new twists to the Gospel are teaching for the wrong reasons. They want fame. They want to justify sin. They want no one over them. They want authority. And one sure way to get all this is to say, "Everything you've ever been told before now is wrong. I, and I alone, have the thing you're seeking. I know the true heart of God." At the heart of false doctrines lies, not false methodology (as in, the wrong style of preaching), but a false heart. Most Word preachers I've heard have made much of the fact that they've had little training in theology. They are proud to know so little, and make much of being self-taught (God-taught, they will insist). It's almost a class-warfare thing. They seem intent on proving something to the rest of the world: I'm as good as you, if not better. That's a heart issue. It's a sin issue.
Here's a sobering warning from James: "Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly" (James 3:1). We cannot preach to prove something to the world, or to show others up or to lift up ourselves. God will not put up with it. We may not reap the consequences of bad teaching on earth, but we will surely reap them in Heaven—or rather, in Hell.

Though the main storylines of this show revolve around Kelsey's and Patricia's characters Chuck and Kelly it's nice to have a cut off storyline involving other characters of the show rather than have them pop in now and again interrupting the main characters. So though we still have the storyline with Chuck and Kelly at each other throats arguing over Gracie Kelly's daughter we had a two really funny sideline stories with Montana learning she has been dumped live on air with Ryan the station manager having a secret crush on Montana and trying to get her over her break-up, plus we had Marsh helping Gary to become an anchorman with an hilarious outcome.
As I said it's getting better but will never be another sitcom classic like Frasier or Everybody Loves Raymond.

Last week Julio finally brought us to one of his favorite local places to get grub - an amazingly well-hidden but wonderful Cevicheria. For those of you who don't know about Ceviche, it's a popular dish in Peru, and in many other South American countries, comprised of raw fish in lime juice. The acidity of the lime juice technically "cooks" the fish, so it's safe to eat, and other added spices make it quite tasty! As someone who doesn't really enjoy a lot of fish, it was pretty good!
While the Ceviche was pretty delicious, I could not get over the huge tentacles poking out of the pile, so I opted for something a little more tame. I shared a platter of calamari with the group, and then opted for a shrimp pasta.
The pasta was so good, I didn't want to finish it for fear of never tasting anything as delicious ever again. But my housemates did convince me to finish it and I managed to leave the lunch table only having shed a tear or two (I kid).
All in all, a delicious lunch. I'm hoping we make a repeat visit to this amazing eatery sometime soon!

Stuffed Peppers!!
This is not going to be your average blah blah blah recipe. Instead let's just have a chat about peppers because they are coming on like gangbusters right now and the time is right for making stuffed peppers. There are 101 ways to make stuffed peppers but if you are like I am, you may revert the same old, same old recipe you've used for a hundred years. Let's throw open the pantry door and get creative!
First there is the pepper itself.
Most of us used the plain old green pepper. This time of year, yellow peppers, red peppers, banana peppers, and a host of pepper varieties are out there at the farmers market. Pick something new or something you haven't tried stuffing. Clean it, take the seeds out and either cut the top off to stuff or cut it lengthwise.
Second let's talk about what to stuff in it. I usually resort to the somewhat boring combination of ground beef, egg, maybe some finely chopped onion, maybe some cracker crumbs or a dash of milk, salt, pepper, other spices if I have them, parsley, and of course worcestershire sauce and ketchup. The trick is to add just enough egg and milk to make it so it won't be dry and hard. You can still use these ingredients, but how about considering the following as add ins:
-rice-chopped tomatoes
-any variety of shredded cheese
-drained black beans
-feta cheese
-drained black beans
-feta cheese
-in addition to ground beef, try ground chicken, turkey, sausage or some combination of meats
-shredded zucchini
-chopped mushrooms
-chopped olives
-your favorite vegetable finely chopped
-canned drained corn
Lastly there is the topping and baking. You can top with the traditional ketchup that turns into carmelized deliciousness or how about barbecue sauce, hoison sauce, salsa, sweet and sour sauce, a slice of tomato, or a slice of cheese?
The great thing about stuffed peppers is you can freeze them. Be sure to blanch the cleaned and seed free peppers for at least a minute before stuffing. This keeps them from being a mushy, slimy mess when you finally bake them.
Bake your thawed or fresh stuffed peppers at 350 degrees for about one hour. Pulling out frozen stuffed peppers to cook in the winter helps recall the wonderful freshness of the summer harvest! Mix it up and enjoy!

I want a pet. I have missed having one basically ever since I've moved. However, in order to get a pet, I have to pay the pet deposit and the adoption fee and then all the accoutrements a pet needs and I'm just not quite there financially yet. I'll get there, maybe in July, but not yet. Until then I've been scouring petfinder.com and craigslist. It's become an addiction. I had found one I was really interested, but I had told Michelle I would not adopt a dog until after her visit and he's no longer listed so I can hope that means he was adopted. In reality I couldn't have anyway (see previous part about $$). I can't get a cat because apparently everybody I know is allergic so it has to be a dog. I'd prefer an adult dog because I honestly don't want to deal with potty training and/or crate training a puppy. Michelle has offered me their dog, Shelby. Her size made it really difficult for them to find a place to live. Weight wise I could actually take her (I thought I couldn't). She's a really good dog and she and I get along very well. But her poop would be ginormous to pick up! :) So I'll wait and maybe the perfect pet will present itself.
I find it vaguely fascinating as I scour Craigslist that people will give up cats for free. Lots and lots and lots of free cats, but rarely dogs... Dogs always have a "rehoming" fee. I've seen one free dog in over 100 listings and this one was dumped and has only 3 legs. Oh let me back up... I just saw 2 more free dog ads... for pits. Now I have nothing against Pit Bulls, however my apartment complex does. No pits or anything crossed with a pit. (Also in case you care no: malamutes, rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Doberman, Chows, St. Bernards, Great Danes, Akitas, American Staffordshire Terriers (Pit Bulls by another name) and American Bull dogs.)
Stephen had to have Rigby put down. I knew it was coming. In fact if she hadn't been so spry I would've probably done it before I left Seattle because I knew at her last appointment she was declining rapidly. (She had lost I think 70 or 80 grams between 2 vet appointments that's a lot for a pet that only weighed 780 grams to begin with). By the time Stephen took her to the vet she was down to 400. Poor girl. Poor Stephen.

When you were only about 8 weeks old you went on your first road trip to Colorado with your Mom, Grammy and Grampy. I know your Dad was really sad when you took off in the car for your first road trip out to Colorado. We knew that you were going to see your dad in about a week but everyone was still a little sad. Grampy called me and told me "Will really likes South Dakota!" We didn't know how you would do sitting in your car seat for 2 days on a 20 hour road trip, but everyone says you did GREAT!
I know that I desperatly missed you that week that you were out in Colorado, but I knew how much fun you were having. Your Mom took you on hikes, walks with Grammy and Grampy and you did a lot of fun things out in Aspen. I know you also went to visit James Connolley too.
The most exciting thing about your trip to Colorado was that you learned how to roll over. I couldn't believe it until I saw it. So, here it is...one of your first few times rolling over!
Here are more pictures of you when you were in Colorado in October 2010

One of the many joys of not having cable television? I didn't hear about balloon boy until the balloon had landed, so I didn't waste any time watching what did appear to be a Jiffy-Pop pan on steroids careening about the Colorado sky.
(If you are even more unaware of current events than I, Balloon Boy is the 6-year-old son of two reality-tv-addicted parents who was not, as it happened, swept 10,000 feet into the atmosphere in a basket attached to a weather balloon, causing the entire nation to cease all productive activity to watch the drama unfold. If you want more, google it. I don't want to give these people any linkage.)
I was working on a long, thoughtful post about all of the issues tangled up in this sad story, but sweet jeebus on a stick, people, someone just needs to go take those boys, put them in a loving home (and therapy), and revoke their parents' license to breed.
That poor child, throwing up every time someone asks him the question we all know the answer to, whether his parents put him up to this stunt … I hope the stories of Children's Protective Services looking into the matter are true.

Trashing bad habits
-The Star-By TAN EE LOO email@example.com
With more people dying each year from hunger-related causes, it is time for us to think of ways to stop food wastage and give away our unconsumed food to others.
THE two friends agree to meet at a fast food restaurant for a meal in the evening, but much of their food is left uneaten when they leave the outlet. Towards the end of the evening, a man walks in and heads straight to the restaurant's kitchen where he carefully goes through the trash picking out half-eaten chicken wings and drumsticks, and puts them into a plastic bag .
The following morning, a group of village children excitedly await the man as he brings over the leftovers for them.
Some of them have food residue smudged over their faces and hair, but the hungry children are not concerned about hygiene.
While this scene may be typical of children scrambling for leftovers in city slums and villages, it was actually a recording from the short film Chicken Ala Carte.
Produced by Filipino environmentalist Ferdinand Dimadura in 2005, the film won wide acclaim at the Berlin International Film Festival 2006.
It may have been intended to address the issue of poverty and hunger, but it also highlights the issue of food that is wasted.
More than 25,000 people die of hunger-related causes every day, according to international relief organisation Stop Hunger Now (SHN). So instead of tossing leftovers and unconsumed food into the garbage bin, we should think of the people we can donate the food to.
Records show that more people die each year from hunger-related causes compared to AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
A report commisioned and released by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations in May, states that approximately one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year which comes to about 1.3bil tonnes, gets lost or is wasted.
Food losses and food wastage are two different things altogether, says the report. Food losses occurs at the production, harvest, post-harvest and processing phases due to poor infrastructure, low levels of technology and low investment in the food production systems.
Food waste is more a problem in industrialised countries, often caused by both retailers and consumers throwing perfectly edible food products into garbage bins.
It is estimated that per capita waste by consumers is between 95 and 115 kgs waste a year in Europe and North America, as stated in the report, while consumers in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia each throw away between six and 11kg of waste a year.
Our country may be known as a food paradise in the region, but there is also a great deal of food wastage.
We tend to take our food for granted because we don't see the amount of hard work that is put in to grow and produce the food we eat every day.
According to Dr Theng Lee Chong, the national coordinator for the collaboration project between the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and the Environment Ministry, Japan, food waste is about 50% of the total waste in Malaysia.
Food waste can be defined in four categories: food residue, kitchen waste (from preparation of meals), unconsumed waste (e.g. hotel buffet), and expired food, says the waste management specialist.
"Food residue and kitchen waste are inevitable. But unconsumed waste and expired food are a problem which makes up 10 to 15% in the total food waste generated in the country," he adds. In Kuala Lumpur, the total waste comes up to about 3,000 tonnes every day, of which about 1,500 tonnes are food waste.
In fact, he says, food waste can be as high as 70% at the landfill site but he points out that this is because many recyclable materials are recovered but most of the food waste is disposed.
Several canteen operators say that they are glad to give any food that has not been sold to those in need.
"I will usually keep the food for the cleaners or workers who want it, because it will be a shame to just throw food that is still edible. However, if they don't come and collect it, I will have to throw it away," says the canteen operator, who declined to be named.
A worker who handles fruits and vegetables at a supermarket says fruits and vegetables that are not so fresh are normally sold at a discounted price. If there are no takers, they will end up in the bin as well.
Too much food
As the country ushers in the Christmas and New Year, the holiday season is often seen as a time of excess gluttony.
"We tend to be very lavish in food preparation and serving. If you don't serve food or enough food to your visitors, you may not be seen as a good host," says Universiti Malaya (UM) Assoc Prof Dr Sumiani Yusoff, whose area of expertise is environmental engineering and management.
While lavish wedding banquets and feasts are a popular choice among the Chinese to celebrate a couple's union, Dr Theng says the unconsumed food ends up in garbage bins at the end of the night.
"We normally get eight or nine course-meal at Chinese wedding receptions. Many guests have had a lot to eat by the time they get to the second last course. The fried rice is hardly ever touched before it gets thrown away," he says.
Dr Theng says guests should be encouraged to pack the unconsumed food home to avoid wastage.
"If the host of a wedding dinner, makes an announcement urging guests to pack the unconsumed food home, the guests will not feel embarrassed because they have been given the approval to do so. This has been done before, and is an effective way to reduce food wastage," he says.
Much of the unconsumed food comes from hotels. According to a recent survey, 81.3% of the hotels were found to dispose of their unconsumed food.
Many of the bigger hotels, because of their respective policies, do not allow for leftover foods to be taken away by their employees or guests.
"Just imagine the amount of food after a buffet lunch or dinner that is still 'untouched' which can still be eaten by many people," says Dr Theng.
To effectively reduce the issue of food waste, National Solid Waste Management Department director-general Datuk Dr Nadzri Yahaya says the department is looking at the possibility of setting up a food bank next year.
The food bank will facilitate the distribution of unconsumed food to welfare groups. By doing so the food will not go to waste.
As the project coordinator, Dr Theng encourages bakeries, hotels, hypermarkets and volunteers to take part in the project.
"The concept is to distribute food that otherwise would have gone to waste. We need to make sure that we have a system to ensure the food that comes in get delivered to the welfare groups in the fastest time possible."
The department has also carried out a study to look at the amount of food waste being generated everyday in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley.
With so much food thrown away Dr Nadzri says that it is perhaps time to look into the feasibility of building an anaerobic digester to turn waste into compost and renewable energy.
Action plan
There are many practices that we can emulate and learn from developed countries. Many of these nations have already initiated plans to minimise food wastage, says environmental management experts.
With a touch of creativity, the issue of food waste can be minimised effectively.
"In Japan, for example, many restaurants in Tokyo are adopting a new approach in reducing food waste by offering customers a choice for food portions," says Dr Theng.
"If you order a don (rice) of standard size, the restaurant will charge you at normal price. However, if you want to order a smaller portion (that is if you are certain that you are unable to finish standard size portions) the eatery will give a discount of about 50 yen. If you ask for a bigger portion, you will get that at no extra cost," says Dr Theng, who made the observation during his recent trip to Japan.
Recalling her experience of attending a seminar in Japan, Dr Sumiani says she was given coupons during the lunch break to buy food at the participating outlets.
"With the coupons, you can choose and buy food that you want to eat, and the portion is just enough for you. It is a win-win situation, instead of a common buffet style seminar lunch break" she says.
In Malaysia, food is always prepared on a lavish scale for participants at international conferences as it is a way of demonstrating hospitality, she adds.
"In Japan, the United States and Denmark, event organisers for conferences opt to give participants snack bars, sandwiches and fruits. It's healthier and there is minimal food wastage," says Dr Sumiani.
As the FAO report suggests, education in schools and political initiatives are possible starting points to changing consumer attitudes.
Dr Sumiani, says individuals need to behave responsibly.
"Malaysians love buffet and people want to get value for money so when they go for buffet, they tend to pile up their food up on their plates," she says.
Education and awareness from a young age are vital in reducing food waste.
"Malaysians have to be educated and aware of the consequences of their lifestyle, food intake, over consumption and production of food. Buy or consume only the amount you can eat," she says.
At UM, a zero trash campaign has been started to promote recycling (phase 1) and reduce food waste (phase 2) that will otherwise end up at landfill sites.
Dr Sumiani says the initative was started as a class project in 2008, and has been developed into a university project. About 200kg of food waste is composted daily at the on-site treatment facilities.
"Our plan is to make it a sustainable project which should work like a training centre so that the public can come to us and learn how food waste is managed," she says.

Concerning Brokerages and Political Discontent
November 20, 2010
While translating an article on the current financial crisis from English to Spanish, I realized that I didn't know the word for "brokerage" in Spanish, so I looked it up. Usually when I am translating and go to the dictionary, it turns out that I knew the word already, whether in English or Spanish (for this happens both ways – sometimes I encounter a Spanish word that I understand perfectly but for which I cannot conjure an English analog), but couldn't quite remember it at the moment. This is both frustrating and reassuring: frustrating because time is money and I want to be good and efficient at what I do, but reassuring in greater measure because it reminds me, "Oh, I did know that word. My vocabulary is expansive because I am well-read in two languages, and worldly." The immediate familiarity of a forgotten word in my second language gives me the same gentle self-satisfaction as when I recognize obscure allusions in an erudite person's jokes.
The Spanish word for brokerage is "corretaje," and this word gave me no such warm feeling. I have definitely never heard the word before – and why would I have? In my day job I am public defender at the juvenile court in Hartford, Connecticut. About half the people I talk to on a given day speak Spanish, and it is safe to say that none of them are brokers or transact business with brokerages. I would even hazard that most of them, like me, have never heard the word "corretaje."
Now, I can discern a relationship between "corretaje" and "correr" – to run – and in some recess of my brain there is a memory of learning in college, somehow, that "corredores" were people who once had some role in formal commercial transactions. Still, this word basically feels like a collection of letters with no particular connection to its substance. But that makes me ask: what is the substance of a brokerage? What does that word mean in English, and what is it that a brokerage house does? I have no fucking idea.
OK, I am overstating the case a little bit. I can surmise that brokerages collect or are placed in charge of money that is not their own, and then invest this money to the advantage of its owners, with some significant residual benefits for the brokerages themselves. I cannot begin to imagine, however, what the daily activities of a broker might comprise. Are they on the phone a lot? In meetings? Giving Powerpoint presentations? I have listened to all those collaborations between This American Life and NPR's Planet Money team in which Alex Bloomberg and Hanna Joffe Walt explain the financial crisis in a way that east coast liberals like me will understand, and I have done some wikipedia research, but that shit refuses to stick in my head. Brokers wear fancy suits, they work long hours, and then they go drink scotch and look at strippers and buy mansions in Fairfield County. Later, somehow, the whole economy gets ruined.
Here's the thing: my clients who have no idea what a "corretaje" is are poor, Spanish-speaking teenagers in one of the poorest cities in the nation, or they are the struggling working-class parents of these teenagers. That is not to say they are not smart – plenty of them are – but they don't have much occasion to meet brokers, let alone deal with brokerages. in contrast, I am a lawyer, highly educated and solidly middle-class. I have an actual 401(k) plan, with which brokerages are likely involved in some way. I have met a number of brokers in casual social settings. Sometimes, I have asked them to explain to me what the hell they do with their days, and infrequently, they have obliged. Still, I am clueless about brokerages.
All of this makes me understand very well the nihilistic apoliticality that prevails among my clients and their families: Somehow, a bunch of rich people were legitimately employed at jobs where they inexplicably got richer while decimating the nation's economy. Now the government has massive debt that needs to be paid off. The President – a man of modest origins, our first non-white President, elected thanks to massive participation by black, hispanic, and poor voters – created a commission to figure out how to reduce this debt, and the commission proposed, among other things, reducing Social Security benefits, raising the retirement age to 69, lowering corporate taxes, and increasing the gas tax. What the fuck?
August 10, 2010
After work today, I pedaled through the mid-afternoon swamp air to my local polling place to cast my vote in the Democratic (albeit not very democratic) primary. I felt my task was imbued with special importance because I read that my town "may be the swing town among the swing towns," and briefly entertained the notion that this might give my vote extra weight (OK, not really).
Apparently, I was not the only person who thought the old W. Ha. (or Woo Hah, as I prefer to call it) might be important: Republican senate candidate Peter Schiff was there in person:
(That's him on the right, in the parking lot, with the white shirt.)
How could I tell it was him? Frankly, I wouldn't have known, since I don't keep close track of what Republicans look like. Luckily, however, he was standing right next to a huge, idling bus with his picture and name on it:
(It's there, on the left behind the tree. Click on the picture for a much larger view.)
In the foreground of these pictures, you may notice a red sign. That sign is placed outside all polling places (per Connecticut General Statutes Section 9-236), and it says:
On the day of any primary, referendum or election no person shall solicit in behalf of or in opposition to another or himself or peddle or offer any ballot, advertising matter or circular to another person or loiter within a radius of seventy-five feet of any outside entrance in use as an entry to any polling place or in any corridor, passageway or other approach leading from any such outside entrance to such polling place or in any room opening upon any such corridor, passageway or approach.
After voting, I walked out the distance from the actual door to the place where the Schiff bus was parked, and it was clear of the 75-foot limit by a solid 20 feet. However, this particular polling place is in the rear building of a school, and if you drive there, you must park in the same lot where the Schiffmobile was idling and walk along the sidewalk visible at the lefthand side of the first photo, above. Now, I'm no lawyer, but – wait, actually, I am a lawyer, and I think the sidewalk from the parking lot to the building counts as a "passageway or other approach leading from any . . . outside entrance to [the] polling place." Look at this aerial view:
Although Team Schiff was outside a 75-foot radius from the front door of the polling place, they were fully on the property of the school where voting was taking place and, more importantly, practically in the way of voters' trip from the parking lot to the door. (Lucky for me, I came by bicycle, so I was able to get much closer to the door and avoid the bus and its crew.) Also, annoyingly, Schiff's young, preppy acolytes were standing just beyond the 75 feet sign and shouting "Vote for Peter Schiff" at voters inside the perimeter. They shouted at me while I was carefully walking heel-to-toe to measure 75 feet to the bus.
Since I love both voting and the law, I went up to a young woman who was standing near the Schiffmobile and told her she was too close to the polling place. "We're outside 75 feet," she said. "But this sidewalk from the parking lot is a passageway to the polling place, and you're practically on top of it," I countered pleasantly. (Really. I was pleasant.) She seemed nonplussed, so I went back into the polling place and complained to the poll workers. They said they were uncertain how the rule should apply, and commenced discussing amongst themselves. I said I didn't suppose it was such a big deal, but I thought I ought to say something, and with that, departed.
As I was ambling down the hall, one of the poll workers came after me, apparently to investigate, and we emerged from the building together, just in time to see the Schiffmobile retreating from the scene (although Schiff himself remained, talking on his cell phone and pacing). The Team Schiff Shouters were walking dejectedly toward the street. I went home with the happy notion that I had gone above and beyond the call of citizenship.

Stars' Rich Peverley Collapses on Bench, Game Postponed
(DALLAS) -- Dallas Stars forward Rich Peverley collapsed on the bench during the first period of Monday night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets and was rushed to the hospital.
Peverley, who has a history of heart issues, remains conscious at a nearby hospital.
"He was tended to by medical personnel immediately and was conscious upon being transferred to a local hospital for further evaluation," the Stars said in a statement.
Peverley is playing in his eighth season in the NHL. He had an irregular heartbeat last Tuesday that kept him out of a game against Columbus.
"Personally, I thought the medical staff did an unbelievable job tonight," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said.
"When he dropped, it was red alert. Don't worry about the game. It was about getting the doctors."
The game was postponed and will be made up on a later date.
"Dallas player Rich Peverley is doing well and is in stable condition," the NHL said in a statement on Monday.
"He has has been transported to the hospital. As a result of the emotional state of the players on both teams caused by the medical emergency, the game is being postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience and we thank the fans."

Cauliflower Gratin with a Horseradish Crust
We just love cauliflower in this house. It's not something that I ever had as a child, but I am quite sure that I would have loved it . . . even then. I can make a meal of it. It's so very versatile.
It's fantastic curried, or made into creamy rich soup. Tasty roasted, and also fried. It makes a good substitute for potatoes when mashed or grated. (for all you low carbers out there!)
It's lovely raw, served up with a delicious aioli to dip it in . . . swooping large chunks down into all that garlicky goodness . . . mmmm . . . what a tasty mouthful. Or even chopped and added raw to salads. It gives them the most wonderful texture and crunch!
One of our favourite ways to eat it though . . . has to be cauliflower cheese. That beautiful crispy tender cooked cauliflower, laying all tastily beneath a rich blanket of cheese sauce and buttery crumbs. Here's where I could make a real pig of myself and eat the whole thing on my own . . . but I'm not that greedy, I do let Todd have some as well . . . sigh . . .
This is a very tasty upscale version of cauliflower cheese. The sauce is rich and tangy . . . and just loaded with strong cheddar cheese and chopped spring onions. The crumbs on top is where the big difference comes in.
Yes . . . they are buttery, but . . . they are also really flavourful, with the added tangy surprise of some creamed horseradish.
You are gonna love this. I promise!
*Cauliflower Gratin with A Horseradish Crust*
Serves 8
Printable Recipe
An upscale version of cauliflower cheese with a delicious crunchy crumb topping, all buttery and filled with the slight heat of horseradish. Delicious!
1 large head of cauliflower, about 3 pounds in weight
Trim and break into florets
4 TBS butter, divided
2 TBS plain flour
12 ounces milk
6 ounces strong cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
4 spring onions, the green parts only, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
10 Italian crackers, coarsely crumbled
2 TBS creamed horseradish
Preheat the oven to 205*C/425*F. Butter a shallow gratin dish. Set aside.
Place the cauliflower florets into a saucepan of lightly salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and then place into the prepared gratin dish.
Melt 2 TBS of the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking for several minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking, until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, whisking occasionally, for 8 minutes. Whisk in the cheese, spring onions, salt and pepper, whisking until the cheese is completely melted.
Melt the remaining 2 TBS of butter. Whisk in the horseradish sauce. Crumble the crackers into a bowl. Pour the butter/horseradish mixture over top and toss together.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the cauliflower florets in the gratin dish. Top with the crumb mixture. Bake in the heated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
Serve warm.

Daijiworld Media Network - MangaluruWith Inputs from Media Release
Mangaluru, Apr 20: An accused involved in the illicit trafficking of cocaine in 1994, and absconding for 23 years, was nabbed by the officers of customs recently.
The accused, B Ansar (50), was arrested by the customs officers in Udupi.
On February 9, 1994 one kg of cocaine valued at Rs 35 lac was seized from the accused at a hotel in Mangaluru. The accused who was caught trafficking cocaine was later released on bail with certain conditions. After his bail, he went absconding for over two decades.
The customs officers had been on the lookout for him since then. Reliable sources have been cultivated in the recent past and gathered actionable leads crystallized in apprehending and arresting of the accused at Udupi. The constant and concerted efforts taken by the officers ultimately yielded the results.
The arrested person was produced before the principal district and sessions judge K S Bilagi who remanded him to judicial custody. Udayanad, special public prosecutor is representing the department and providing necessary guidance.
35 lakhs in 1994...after 23 years sum goes to 10 crores in today's fluctuating currency factor. hereby request you to please collec same amount from him and his near and dear ones..otherwise rest in jail for next 46 years in jail..for his offence.Born to spoil society...by injecting wrong things to youngsters..

The issuer is kept inside jail until he pays Cheque money and lawyer fee. Same way India has to make a rule if the lawyer is applying for bail on behalf of culprit than they have to keep the lawyer inside jail until they catches the culprit if he runs away.
"The accused, B Ansar (50), was arrested by the customs officers in Udupi.!!50-23 = 27 perfect age to begin a career..!Well Done!Peace!

The realism problem in Second Life
This light house shows the realism problem of Second Life. At first I was struck by how realistic it looked compared to most of the other features of Second Life. Designers often go for the ultra-modern of whimsical because they can't really make the real in Second Life yet. Looking at this light house you see why: reality demands an almost infinite supply of data storage. Reality seems unaware of how computationally impossible it is, using many billions of TBs to make a rock or flower. Second Life's reality is built around a strict economy of PRIMS and rezzing time. This light house is impossible in reality, because each of the white and red bands weathering patterns are exactly alike. Weathering patterns in RL are all very random and like fingerprints no two are the same. Reality seems to like no two things being the same. We live in a Universe that seems to be governed by laws and patterns and yet somehow an amazing diversity of randomness and uniqueness has emerged.
Second Life is evolving patterns of uniqueness I have identified. People over time develop their AV until they reach a point where no two AVs look the same. People get pretty independent about their AVs and most long term players I know look unique. Only a few could I spot without their names above their heads but when you get to know people they look unique. Also if you look at the map of Second Life on SLURL you will notice that viewed from above no 2 pieces of the mass sprawl of structures look the same from above.
So unique is the evolving ground of Second Life that through my voyage I feel I am learning to identify where things are and where I am over the land I have travelled. That is only possible because the land is evolving in a unique way that my brain can identify, knowing it must be here because of it.
So will time solve the problem and create a universe full of unique features governed by general laws that is the right mixture of order and chaos for the human man to understand?

YELLOWKNIFE – Jack Layton is learning that being popular has perks and pitfalls.
Even as the NDP enjoys a bump in its bank balance thanks to its sudden second-place status, Layton faces increasingly tough questions about vacationing candidates and the potential impact of his party's policies on jobs and the economy.
He dismissed an independent report that found the NDP's cap-and-trade system for carbon would add 10 cents per litre to the price of gasoline as collusion among the big polluters.
And he went a step further, opening the door to possible price regulation — something the NDP in Nova Scotia championed a few years ago.
"Our first step would be to establish the (gas price) ombudsman and use the competition laws to go after collusion in the industry," he said Thursday.
"If that doesn't work we're clearly going to have to look at further measures."
Layton was grilled about claims that Ruth-Ellen Brosseau — an NDP candidate in a predominantly francophone area of Quebec who took a vacation to Las Vegas in the middle of the campaign — doesn't even speak French.
"I understand that's not true," Layton said.
Brosseau has been avoiding interviews with the local radio station in Maskinoge, Que., after she struggled to hold a conversation in French with one of the reporters there.
The NDP has been getting hammered for running what appear to be ghost candidates in Ontario and Quebec ridings, where the individual carrying the party banner has either slipped away on vacation or dodged interviews.
Layton tried to explain it away by saying "people were doing their best," and that they had family plans that couldn't be changed, but when the questions kept coming, cracks began to show in his normally cheerful demeanour.
"So that you can ask your questions, I'll let you interrupt me as often as you want, but I'll try to answer as best as I can," he said to a gathering of journalists far larger than what Layton and the NDP might be more accustomed to.
"Can I finish a sentence?" he lamented at one point.
Layton stood firm behind his team of candidates, describing them as the best and strongest group the NDP has ever fielded.
But it was hard to miss the double-standard as the NDP campaign team released a laundry list of Liberal candidates who failed to show up for public debates in their ridings.
Indeed, Layton himself was the architect of one of the most memorable moments of the campaign when, during the televised debates, he kneecapped Michael Ignatieff by criticizing the Liberal leader's attendance record in the House of Commons.
Likely helping to soothe the sting of Thursday's questions was news of the new largesse the NDP is enjoying from political donors thanks to its current showing in the polls.
New figures show the party has raked in more than $2.5 million in donations since the writ was dropped March 26 — well in excess of the $2.1 million raised during the 2008 campaign.
What started out as a trickle has turned into a rush — on Tuesday, the party netted $100,000 in online donations alone. That came on top of $250,000 collected over the holiday weekend.
Campaign officials say the number of donors offering $1,100 or more has doubled in recent weeks as polls suggest the NDP has taken second place away from the Liberals.
The sudden embarrassment of riches is part of a trend that's seen not only the public take notice of the NDP, but other major parties and the business community as well.
The party says it has seen 5,000 new donors since the opposition parties teamed up to defeat the Harper Conservatives last month.
Compared with the last campaign, donations are up 35 per cent in British Columbia, where the NDP stoked the fires of resentment towards the harmonized sales tax.
Donations are also up in Ontario — where New Democrats are squeezed in a tight three-way race — and Alberta, where the left-leaning NDP message has often been considered political poison.
Layton was campaigning in Yellowknife to lend a hand to Dennis Bevington, first elected in 2008, who's been targeted by the Tories for voting in favour of abolishing the long-gun registry.
Bevington defended his decision to side with the government on the gun registry, even though it wasn't a popular decision in Quebec, where the NDP is growing in strength at the expense of the Bloc Quebecois.
Bevington says the gun registry is an important issue for northerners who see it as an intrusion on their culture and the tools needed for their livelihood.

Dass Gupta, J.
1. The appellant Brij Mohan Singh and the respondent Priya Brat Narain Sinha were among the candidates who contested the Aurangabad Constituency seat for the Bihar Legislative Assembly at the General Election held in 1962. The polling took place on February 21, 1962. The appellant received a majority of votes and was declared elected. The respondent Priya Brat Babu who was the sitting member was defeated on April 9, 1962, he filed a petition challenging the validity of the appellant's election. He prayed for a declaration that the election of the appellant Brij Mohan Singh be declared void and that he (Priya Brat Narain Sinha) be declared to have been duly elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly from the Aurangabad Constituency. Among the grounds on which the appellant's election was challenged were these three :-
(1) That the appellant was born on October 15, 1937 and was thus under 25 years of age on the date of filing the nomination papers and therefore disqualified under Art. 137 of the Constitution from being a member of the Bihar Legislative Assembly;
(2) That he held subsisting contracts under the Bihar Government in his individual and personal capacity and was thus disqualified under s. 7(d) of the Representation of the People Act;
(3) That the appellant, and with his consent, his party-men Rameshwar Prasad Singh and others (whose names are mentioned) were directly responsible for publication and distribution of copies of leaflets containing direct insinuations and aspersions against the respondent's personal character, these being false to the knowledge of the appellant.
2. The Election Tribunal held on a consideration of the oral and documentary evidence produced before it that none of these or the other grounds on which the validity of the election was challenged had been established. Accordingly, the Tribunal dismissed the petition.
3. On appeal, the High Court of Judicature at Patna set aside the judgment and order of the Election Tribunal and made an order setting aside the election of the appellant Brij Mohan Singh to the Bihar Legislative Assembly. The High Court however refused the respondent's prayer to be declared duly elected.
4. Against this order of the High Court the present appeal has been preferred on a certificate granted by the High Court under Art. 133(1)(b) of the Constitution.
5. The only grounds that appear to have been pressed before the High Court were the three which we have mentioned above. The High Court agreed with the Election Tribunal that the allegation that the appellant held a contract under the Government in his personal capacity had not been established. As regards the other two grounds the High Court disagreed with the Election Tribunal. The High Court held that the appellant was below the age of 25 years on the date of filing the nomination and was therefore not qualified to be a candidate for the Bihar Legislative Assembly. The High Court also held that the appellant had published a leaflet Ex. 10 containing attacks upon the personal character of the respondent and was thus guilty of a corrupt practice within the meaning of s. 123(4) of the Representation of the People Act. As already stated, the High Court set aside the election of the appellant.
6. The findings of the High Court on the question of age and also on the question of publication of the document Ex. 10 have been challenged before us. It was also urged that in any case the pamphlet Ex. 10 did not amount to an attack on the personal character of the respondent.
[After considering the evidence his Lordship concluded that it was not proved that the appellant had committed any corrupt practice or that he was below twenty-five years on the date of filing of nomination papers. On the question whether an entry made in an official record maintained by an illiterate public servant, by some one else at his request is relevant under s. 35 of the Evidence Act his Lordship held :]
7. On an examination of the physical appearance on the hathchitha and the entries made therein, the evidence of the Chowkidar and the circumstances under which this document was ultimately produced before the Tribunal we are inclined to agree with the view of the Election Tribunal that this is a genuine document which was maintained by the Chowkidar in the discharge of his official duty. If the document had been manufactured to assist the appellant we do not think it likely that the Chowkidar would have refused to produce it readily when summoned to do so. The fact that a warrant of arrest had to be executed against him is a convincing circumstance that the Chowkidar was unwilling to produce it. We are not impressed by the argument of Mr. Sarjoo Prasad that the omission of the Chowkidar to produce the document in obedience to the summons and the issue of warrant of arrest to secure its production were all pre-arranged to create an atmosphere for the acceptance of the document as genuine. The appellant's lawyers before the Election Tribunal could not possibly have been sure that the Tribunal would in the last resort issue a warrant of arrest. It is not likely that they would take such risk so that the document might not come at all.
8. In our opinion, this document is genuine and is the book that was maintained by the Chowkidar for noting the births in his llaka during the years 1934 to 1936. The entry therein showing the birth of a son to Sarjoo Singh on October 15, 1935 can however be of no assistance to the appellant unless this entry is admissible in evidence under the Evidence Act. If this entry had been made by the Chowkidar himself this entry would have been relevant under s. 35 of the Evidence Act. Admittedly, however, the Chowkidar himself did not make it. Mr. Agarwal tried to convince us that when an illiterate public servant is unable to make an entry himself and he gets the entry made by somebody else this should be treated as an entry made by the public servant. This argument must be rejected. The reason why an entry made by a public servant in a public or other official book, register, or record stating a fact in issue or a relevant fact has been made relevant is that when a public servant makes it himself in the discharge of his official duty, the probability if its being truly and correctly recorded is high. That probability is reduced to a minimum when the public servant himself is illiterate and has to depend on somebody else to make the entry. We have therefore come to the conclusion that the High Court is right in holding that the entry made in an official record maintained by illiterate Chowkidar, by somebody else at his request does not come within s. 35 of the Evidence Act. It is not suggested that the entry is admissible in evidence under any other provision of the Evidence Act. The entry in the hath-chitha has therfore to be left out of consideration in coming to a conclusion about the appellant's age.
9. Strong reliance was placed on behealf of the petitioner-respondent on three documents Ex. 2, Ex. 8 and Ex. 18. The first of these is the admission register of Aurangabad Town School where the appellant took his admission as a student on January 19, 1946. In the entry as regards his admission in the register the date of birth is shown as October 15, 1937 and the age as eight years, three months and three days. The second Exhibit (Ex. 8) is an application made by the appellant on August 26, 1959 for the post of a Sub-Inspector of Police. Here also the date of birth is shown as October, 15, 1937. The third document is Ex. 18. It is a certificate issued by the Bihar School Examination Board for his passing the Matriculation Examination. This also states the date of birth as October 15, 1937.
10. An objection was faintly raised by Mr. Agarwal as regards the admissibility of Ex. 2 on the ground that the register is not an official record or a public register. It is unnecessary to consider this question as the fact that such an entry was really made in the admission register showing the appellant's date of birth as October 15, 1937 has all along been admitted by him. His case is that this was an incorrect statement made at the request of the person who went to get him admitted to the school. The request was made, it is suggested, to make him appear two years younger than he really was so that later in life he would have an advantage when seeking public service for which a minimum age for eligibility is often prescribed. The appellant's case is that once this wrong entry was made in the admission register it was necessarily carried forward to the Matriculation Certificate and was also adhered to in the application for the post of a Sub-Inspector of Police. This explanation was accepted by the Election Tribunal but was rejected by the High Court as untrustworthy. However much one may condemn such an act of making a false statement of age with a view to secure an advantage in getting public service, a judge of facts cannot ignore the position that in actual life this happens not infrequently. We find it impossible to say that the Election Tribunal was wrong in accepting the appellant's explanation. Taking all the circumstances into consideration we are of opinion that the explanation may very well be true and so it will not be proper for the court to base any conclusion about the appellant's age on the entries in these three documents, viz., Ex. 2, Ex. 8 and Ex. 18.
11. On an examination of the entire evidence, oral and documentary, we therefore reach the position that the petitioner-respondent has not been able to prove that the appellant Brij Mohan was below 25 years of age on the date of filing of nomination papers while the appellant himself has also not been able to show that he was at least 25 years of age on that date. It cannot be disputed and is not disputed that the burden of proving that the appellant's age was below 25 years on the date of his nomination was on the petitioner-respondent. The petition in so far as it is based on the ground that the appellant was below 25 years of age on the date of his nomination must therefore fail.
12. This brings us to the question of the alleged commission of a corrupt practice under Section 123(4) of the Representation of the People Act. The petitioner's case was that the pamphlet Ex. 10 contained statements in relation to his personal character reasonably calculated to prejudice the prospects of his election, that these statements were false and the appellant either believed them to be false or did not believe them to be true and that this was published by Brij Mohan himself and also by other persons with his consent. To prove such publication the petitioner relied strongly on the testimony of some witnesses who spoke of the distribution of such pamphlets in Bazars and other places in the constituency and even more strongly on the evidence to the effect that the order for printing these pamphlets, was given to the press by Brij Mohan's agent, Rameshwar Prasad Singh, that Brij Mohan paid for it and that the manuscript itself was in Brij Mohan's own handwriting. The oral testimony about the distribution of the pamphlets is of very little value. We have examined the evidence of each of these witnesses and find that the comment of the Election. Tribunal that they have given the story in a parrot-like manner is justified. They are all partisan witnesses and could easily be induced to give such evidence falsely. The Election Tribunal found them unworthy of credit. It does not also seem that the High Court was prepared to rely on this evidence by itself. The High Court was, however, convinced from the evidence of the Proprietor of the Press who gave evidence as Court Witness No. 2 that this pamphlet was printed under Brij Mohan's orders and was paid for by him; and only in view of this conclusion it considered the evidence of the witnesses examined on behalf of the petitioner-respondent to be 'fairly strong.'
13. There can be no doubt that this pamphlet Ex. 10 was printed at the Gokul Press, Aurangabad, Gaya. Sheonandan Prasad is the proprietor of this press and was its proprietor in February 1962 when this pamphlet was printed. He has produced the order book of the press and indicated the Entry No. 62 in that book as the entry in respect of the printing of this pamphlet at his press. He also produced the manuscript from which the pamphlet was printed. It is interesting to notice that this witness did not appear before the Tribunal on August, 27, 1962 inspite of the service of two summons on him to appear on that date. It was when a notice was served on him to show cause why he should not be prosecuted under Section 114 of the Indian Penal Code that he appeared before the Tribunal. That was on August 31, 1962. Then on September 3, 1962 he showed cause against his prosecution. Thereafter on September 4, 1962 he produced the order book of his press and the document said to be the manuscript for the pamphlet. As entry No. 62 in the order book now stands, it purports to show that this pamphlet with the words 'Bagula Neta Se Hoshiar' was printed there. For, under the words indicating the place of residence of the person who gave this order these words 'Bagula Neta Se Hoshiar' appear. They are however in different ink from the rest of the handwriting in that entry and are clearly an interpolation. Sheonandan himself admits that he inserted these words before filing the book before the Tribunal either on September 3, 1962 or on September 4, 1962. He further made a significant admission in these words: 'Because of the request of Naulakh Singh I made the insertion in the Register some time on the 3rd or 4th of September so that the member may easily understand the order in the Register by which the said parody was ordered to be printed.' Naulakh is admittedly one of these who worked for the respondent during the election. It is not possible to accept a witness who has admittedly made a false document in the manner as a witness of truth. The fact that he confessed having made the interpolation does not improve his credibility.
14. It is also worth noticing that this Entry No. 62 mentions three kinds of things as printed:-- (1) 1,000 copies of poster; (2) 2,000 copies of notice and (3) 2,000 copies of ballot papers. The pamphlet Ex. 10 is clearly not included in the terms 'poster'; it is certainly not a ballot paper; and it will hardly be right to call it a notice.
15. On a consideration of all the circumstances we are of opinion that no reliance can be placed on his testimony and no conclusion can be based on his evidence as regards the printing of this pamphlet under orders from the appellant.
16. Naulakh who is another witness who has tried by his evidence to connect Brij Mohan with the printing of this pamphlet, is equally untrustworthy. He stated that during the first week of February 1962 when he went to Gokul Press Aurangabad he found Rameshwar Prasad Singh there and saw in Rameshwar Prasad's hand a manuscript similar to this pamphlet and that in his presence Rameshwar Prasad placed orders for printing this parody in the press. He says that he read the manuscript and thus understood that it was directed against Priya Brat Babu. He could not however remember for what purpose he visited Gokul Press on that day. This, one has to remember is the witness at whose request Sheonandan, the Proprietor of the Gokul Press made the interpolation in the order book. No reliance can be placed on the evidence of such a witness.
17. It is interesting to notice that though some document was produced in court by Sheonandan as the manuscript from which the pamphlet had been printed and it was petitioner's case that this document was in Brij Mohan's own handwriting no attempt was made to prove the identity of the writer by examining a hand-writing, expert or otherwise.
18. P.N. Singh (P. W. 60) who claims to have seen the manuscript of Ex. 10 in the Gokul Press in January 1962 and states that this manuscript was in Brij Mohan's own handwriting was not even recalled to identify the writing of the document that was produced by Sheonandan as the manuscript, as Brij Mohan's.
19. On a consideration of the entire evidence we are of opinion that the petitioner-respondent has not been able to prove the publication of this pamphlet Ex. 10 by the appellant or his agent or by any other person with the consent of the appellant or his election agent. We therefore accept as correct the conclusion of the Election Tribunal that the commission of any corrupt practice by the appellant under Section 123(4) of the Representation of the People Act has not been proved and that the contrary view taken by the High Court is wrong.
20. In view of our conclusion on the question of publication we have not thought it necessary to examine whether the other ingredients of a corrupt practice under Section 123(4) were established.
21. As neither of the two grounds on which the High Court based its conclusion can be sustained, the High Court's order allowing the Election Petition must be set aside.
22. Accordingly, we allow the appeal, set aside the order of the High Court and restore the order of the Election Tribunal dismissing the election petition. The appellant will get his costs from respondent No. 1 throughout.
Appeal allowed.

The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph"! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!
Brussel sprouts were sent to Earth by Satan to corrupt mankind. That's all I have to say about them.
They are better than napa cabbage. Napa cabbage is the true enemy.
Don't drink out of ornamental ponds in Tiergarten. You will get sick.
I love them. And now it's season for them here in Brussels
Never seen a recipe to make them in the oven. I must try. I always just cook them until done with butter added on top.
they really shine from the oven. i keep it simple. i cut them in half..keep that end intact so they tiny half stays connected. toss with oil lightly..salt them. toss them in an oven spread out in one level (big sheet pan). i go 350F (you do the math)..and pull them when the edges are browning. if i am not lazy, i go in halfway with a spatula and toss them about.
put them in a bowl..taste to check salt..add pepper and a sprinkling of parm cheese.

I'm a weather weenie. If it's in the sky, follows the jet stream, involves the systematic upheaval of conflicting air masses, dumps precipitation of any variety, amount with or without winds - then I'm interested.
So, you'd think I would know better than to assume the x-c ski season is over because of a recent melt coupled with fairly dry conditions. I was wrong...so very wrong... For, this past weekend, we enjoyed a full day of steady rains...and then an overnight snow "event" that brought us - by our reckoning - about 15-20 centimetres of snow. Not just any snow, but that wonderful perfect combination of tacky moist and shredded coconut fluff. I know the snow was like that because I shovelled half of it off our driveway while Adam shovelled the other half. But, even as I was dutifully tossing shovel after shovel of the stuff I couldn't help but wonder whether I had unduly, prematurely, jumping-the-gun-style ended my xc- ski season. I had skied 60.4 kilometres this season, a respectable amount I thought. It wouldn't break my heart if I couldn't ski any more...
Then, today, the sun was bright, the winds brisk but quite bearable at this time of the year and the opportunity to ski presented itself in what would prove to be a near perfect storm of awesomeness; for, not only did we receive a really good amount of great snow but we had a new way of getting to the wetlands. It would involve a much shorter distance an earlier start point and, best of all, the chance to ski over top of Hunt Club where we could laugh uproariously at all the people stuck in traffic.
You aren't stuck in traffic - you are traffic.
Yes, it is hubris. No, I don't care.
There is a disused rail bed behind our house. No trains use that rail, well, with the very occasional exception of the odd train car slowly chugging along there for no easily discernible reason. In the ten some odd years we've lived here I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have actually seen a train car (note the singular noun) use the rail. The entrance to this rail bed is a good 400 metres from our door. It would be even closer but for the number of fences to negotiate. But, no matter, if it gets us out skiing, then so what. Besides, a little variety isn't always such a horrible thing, is it?
So, we gathered our skis and poles, suited up and left the house. Within about five minutes and with no car traffic to contend with, we were up on the raised rail bed. We snapped into our skis and were on our merry way on what was, essentially, undisturbed snow.
The rail line itself does continue north and become the one the OTrain uses but we weren't going anywhere near that far. In fact, we were on the rail line for about 600 metres before having to shuffle down, along a line of low growing trees and bushes and then through a wide hole in the pagewire fence. Once there, voila, we were in the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands...and we didn't have to contend with morons who can't understand how a traffic light works or that pedestrians have the right of way when that illuminated little man light is showing or even the copious amounts of road salt the city still seems to think is necessary.
We must have been the first ones in the wetlands since this latest Major Snowfall (note the proper noun status here) because Adam was breaking a lot of the trail. During our venture, we even saw a rat scurrying around and just underneath the snow itself.
We made to the Walkley transit station, had our requisite water break and then turned around and headed back. Once more, we took advantage of the rail bed and ended right back where we started.
So, today, I added another 6 kilometres to my I-thought-I-was-done total and now stand at 66.4. However, today, and I really mean it this time, I'm putting my skis, boots, poles and gaitors away. Seriously. No, I mean it, seriously.
Now, if y'all will excuse me, I had some dental work done today and my jaw's just a little bit sore.


text: The past week or so we have started packing up our apartment. It's been slightly aggravating having everything in disarray, not knowing exactly what to pack early because we really don't have THAT much stuff and we use most of it, and just feeling disorganized in general. But...we push on!

I was so thrilled to see this Pileated Woodpecker on the tree that is closest to me. He didn't fly off like he usually does so I got time to grab my camera and take a few photos as he climbed up the tree. Sure am glad I looked out when I did.
I'm still keeping a watch on this squirrel. She comes down every day to eat. She still doesn't look like she's feeding any babies like the other mother squirrels do.
This is her climbing back up another tree to get to hers.
And a chipmunk just sitting there very still for a while.
