When Life gives You Lemons … Indulge
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
~ William Shakespeare
"Easy-Peasy-Lemon-Squeezy" is a tune each of my three boys has declared on more occasions than I can count. The expression was mastered by the boys in Kindergarten, and has since become a jingle of choice, my little mantra in times of difficulty. What I never realized, however, was the amazing truth behind the cutesy rhyme—in its very literal sense. Lemons are truly an easy solution to a multitude of problems.
Many people have asked where I've been these days. The normal "zest" I try to tap into every day in some ways turned sour this past month or so. I think I've been in survival mode since Christmas, and as deep fatigue and malaise set in with the last phase of chemo, I guess the reality of the "big C" has really weighed on my mind much heavier. I have found it difficult to find inspiration in the things around me that usually bring clarity and joy to my daily life. Instead, I've been "puckering" up to the sour circumstances of this thing called cancer and all the un-pleasantries that come with it.
Chemotherapy is now done. Finito.
The last few visits to Dana-Farber had me physically ill before arrival. I guess you'd call it a psychosomatic response to the dreaded poison that was about to make its way into my veins. Ironically, the last infusion of AC was bittersweet—a real sense of relief that chemo was over coupled with the real fear that chemo is over …. surgery looming on the horizon. There were tears, hugs, well-wishes and love poured out on me and my heart ached a bit knowing that the very poison I dreaded every week , the very thing that made me so sick and tired was no longer going to be beating me up to make me well. It sounds sort of warped, but there was a sense of trauma that accompanied me out the door that day.
Lemons. A while back, my sister, Michelle lured me into a lemon love-fest, leading me on an exploration of this citrus gem and all the wonderful medicinal properties it delivers. I won't lie, as a woman, I love learning about hidden beauty secrets that…well, help me look and feel 20 again. Who doesn't? So learning that this citrus fruit full of Vitamin C is also a great source of protection from free radicals, y'know those pesky little things that, theoretically speaking—"age" us … led me to begin my love affair with the savant of the citrus family—limones.
Cancer treatment does a number on your body. For many, that number is called something like whopper-doozie or as I like to call it: "le destructeur" to the enth degree. Chemo is cumulative. In short, different symptoms present at different times, many worsening as you go. Completing 20 weeks of chemo—my "le destructeur" wreaked havoc on a few different areas of my body, some worse than others.
First up—Anemia. This past month, my red blood cells were at a relatively speaking all-time low. For me that equated to difficulty walking up a flight of stairs without looking like that annoyingly under-exercised person gasping for air at the top of mere 10 steps (no judgment here). Yup. I was that chick. Only as I was gasping for air, chest pain and often severe headaches accompanied it. It was frustrating. I'm usually the one racing up six flights of stairs in 4 inch stilettos, with a resting pulse rate at the finish line. Seriously—BEYOND frustrating. On the bright side: I could walk up a flight of stairs. After all, some struggling with severe anemia can barely get out of bed because they're just too exhausted to even put their feet on the floor. Little by little, I am gaining back strength and stamina, but adding the bitter-tasting, yet miraculous power of lemon juice has the added benefit of aiding the body to produce red blood cells, thus speeding along the process.
The beauty of this little yellow fruit knows no bounds as it also helps ease anxiety. Lemon balm has a calming effect and therefore may be able to help remove fatigue and exhaustion, anxiety, nervousness, and tension—pretty much the very things that sour my spirit. I'm not saying Valium can be completely tossed to the curb, but hey…I'll pucker up. Ironically, I also earned that though I've been in a state of brain fog from the chemo, apparently inhaling lemon oil helps to increase concentration and alertness. (I wish I had remembered this fact during all of my forgetful chemo-brained moments … that still plague me).
In many ways my lemon in life has been the source of much sweetness. Cancer's sour taste has become the old adage: "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." My lemonade has been tasted in the sweetness of new relationships and the beauty that comes with having people to love and be loved by….so many bringing light and joy to my life.
Last Wednesday I had an MRI to see how the cancer responded to the chemo. I won't learn results until this Thursday, but ultimately know the full picture won't be revealed until I'm opened up. My prayer is that chemo did its thing … which will help guide the surgeon to a goal of a better outcome. My surgery date has been set: June 14. I felt a pit in my stomach when I got the call confirming the date… but I know it's time. The date however does bring special significance—Logan's birthday (also Flag Day). I was further inspired by my friend and colleague, Sarah—her Grandmother also sharing that birthday, a precious soul who lived to be 101.
Nothing in life is a coincidence. His timing is perfect.
My son, Logan recently placed a scripture on my bathroom mirror. His note brought tears to my eyes as he wrote: Mom, Isaiah 43:1-4 says it perfect— "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!"
Thank God, I am His.
Little by little, I'm shaking off my sour to make room for the sweetness and zest that comes from indulging in the lemon that has been sent my way for a season … for a reason … for a greater purpose than I may not be able to grasp just yet. Though I feel changed, I know that my Father has not changed and will forever be in the business of unfolding His plan and purpose for my life. That fact alone brings me peace that passes all understanding.
All my love . . . Nicole
Unconventional Therapy with a German Shepherd Named Miles
(originally written on my CaringBridge page on 1/19/13)
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant. ~Anne Bradstreet
Thursday marked my second treatment at Dana-Farber. The late afternoon infusions work out well because not only can I work most of the day, the entire atmosphere at DFCI is quiet & relaxed.
I was blessed to have my mom come with me this week, and my prayer beforehand was that everything would be seamless—from driving in, parking, to overall ease of the treatment process. I really needed her there with me early on this journey, so her mind could eliminate any scary, pre-conceived notions that often come with the idea of chemotherapy. It was just as I had hoped for . . . drama-free. Actually, we even had 10 minutes to spare upon arrival, so we popped into the boutique where my wig was waiting to be picked up. They brought us out back and I tried it on for her . . . she was amazed at how natural it looked—exactly like my hair, fresh out of the salon. I laughed at the idea that soon, I could eliminate "bad hair days" for a while from my life. Glass half full thought of the day.
My anxiety level was considerably reduced this week before treatment because I knew what to expect, confident in knowing how my body handled it last time—the likelihood lessoned of an anaphylactic response this round. My nurse heated my arm in advance, helping to ease the pre-treatment Benadryl pain. He will also be gradually decreasing the amount each week, as I prove to tolerate the drug more and more. Fighting the grogginess from Benadryl and the high from the steroids makes for a "unique" slumber experience (or there a lack of).
Arriving home late on a school night, I was unable to spend time with the boys. Instead, waiting for my arrival was my other boy, my "angel nurse dog," Miles who anxiously greeted me with kisses and love.
Miles', our German Shepherd is now referred to as my angelic nurse dog, because he's glued to my side whenever I'm home, checking on me all through the night, and if tears are ever present on my face, he licks them away. He's got a level of intelligence and heart revealed in those beautiful eyes that blows my mind. God knew in advance, how much I needed his companionship during this time . . . and I'm blessed to have a furry prince to add to the "court".
Though I felt depleted of all energy, Miles carried on a "Chewbacca" conversation with me for 20 minutes, tilting his head back and forth, as I snuggled in a blanket watching him. I knew he was eager for some Miles/mommy time that we relish each day—usually consisting of lots of outdoor exercise and play, but sadly it was not physically possible for me. I know he's "just a dog," but he honestly seems to get it, and he came over to me, gently motioning his head toward the dining room, nudging me along. I got up and followed him.
There, we did laps around the dining room table, me following his lead. It was honestly hilarious—a YouTube moment to behold for sure. He started us off walking. Next, a slow jog …then into a sprint. He'd look back at me periodically, making sure I was keeping up. We must have done 150 laps before we were done. It was amazingly therapeutic.
Though my steep climb just begins on this uphill venture, I am blessed beyond words for the "cream" that has risen to the top of my relationships. I am so grateful for the AMAZING people in my life who have gone above and beyond to support me, love me and encourage me. The generosity of each of you is overwhelming . . . truly overwhelming. You are loved beyond words.

A military ceremony held at Anapolis Air Base in Brazil on Friday 20 December marked the formal end of Mirage 2000 operations in the Força Aérea Brasileira ( FAB ). In January, F-5EM fighters will take over their role, protecting Brazilian airspace.
The Mirage 2000, baptized FAB F-2000 in Brazil, served the Latin American country since 2006. The fleet of twelve aircraft completed more than 10,000 hours of flight. The Mirage 2000 was purchased second hand from France as a temporary solution for fighter coverage over Brazil. The initial plan was that the jets would stop at the end of 2011, but with tweaks six aircraft remained flying until now. The government last week announced the acquisition of Saab Gripen E/F fighter as replacements.
Until the new fighters arrive, the air defense mission is in the hands of the F-5EM fighters. A group of six pilots remain in Anapolis and fly the F-5s. With the retirement of the Mirage 2000, 'Jaguar' squadron will be without aircraft. The Brazilian air force will then start working on composing the first group that will operate the new Gripens.

JR Engineering served as the Civil Engineer and Surveyor for the conversion of a Private Roadway with Private Water system to Pubic Road and Water. Negotiations with the City of Colorado Springs and Colorado Springs Utilities throughout the process was integral to the project's success. There were numerous public facility easements that needed to be vacated in order to un-encumber developable area. Additionally, there are multiple landowners adjacent to the private road that needed to be involved in the process.
The existing private road had an existing visitor parking lot associated with Cook Communications. The parking area needed to be relocated to ensure that visitors were not backing out into a public right of way. During the process of designing the public roads it was discovered that the City of Colorado Springs had created a drainage issue over the course of years of roadway maintenance. The property worked with the City, with JR as the prime negotiator, to fix the issue and share in the cost.
JR is currently providing surveying and construction support services for the project.

Argentina: on the cusp of change
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Argentines vote in the second round of presidential elections on 22 November, after the trailing opposition candidate, Mauricio Macri, surprised pollsters and secured sufficient votes to trigger a run-off. Regardless of the electoral outcome, the successor will face a complex economic environment full of distortions, brought about by more than a decade of kirchernismo policies. On the oil & gas front, the two candidates have similar aims to stimulate more investment in the strategic sector but their approaches differ. For foreign companies, larger economic adjustment in the near term will preoccupy current producers and may trigger labour concerns, but improvements anticipated over the medium term are expected to be favourable for the industry.
What's included
This report contains
Table of contents
- Executive summary

Iron Year
– video: March 2018 –
O harp and altar, of the fury fused,
(How could mere toil align thy choiring strings!)
Terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge,
Prayer of pariah, and the lover's cry,
Again the traffic lights that skim thy swift
Unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars,
Beading thy path—condense eternity:
And we have seen night lifted in thine arms.
Under thy shadow by the piers I waited
Only in darkness is thy shadow clear.
The City's fiery parcels all undone,
Already snow submerges an iron year …
O Sleepless as the river under thee,
Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod,
Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
And of the curveship lend a myth to God.
Excerpt from "To Brooklyn Bridge"
by Hart Crane, 1933

Curves Petersham joins Heart Foundation to promote walking
On Sunday 27 May 2018, Curves Petersham held their inaugural Heart Foundation Walking Group Walk along the picturesque Cook River in Earlwood. The walk followed a month-long promotion in the club around the benefits of walking, which, according to the Heart Foundation can help you to "reduce stress, be more alert, have a healthier body and build strong relationships." The group set off around 8am, and the morning was crisp and skies were clear. The level path along the side of the Cook River allowed for lovely vistas of the calm River and showcased some beautiful autumn trees and wildlife, including cranes and cockatoos. The walk catered for those wanting to take a more leisurely pace, as well as those wanting a faster stride. One member commented that walking in a group provided her with motivation to keep up a good pace. "What a great way to start the day" said another. Benches dotted along the path allowed for a rest if required, and some of the group took time to explore the lovely gardens and plantings at Gough Whitlam Reserve. The 7 km round circuit turns at Tempe Station allowing for an aspect of the other side of the River on return. At the end of the walk, many of the walkers had reached their 10,000 steps for the day. They enjoyed coming together as a group, getting to know their local area and learning more about each other along the way. Curves Petersham will continue to hold Heart Foundation Walks every month. Contact the club for more information or join our Curves Petersham Walking Group here: www.walking.heartfoundation.org.au

As a Latina Still Standing, I often write about the Latina Still Standing motto of relying on Faith, Family and Friends to help us overcome life's obstacles.
The dictionary defines "friend" as a person with whom you share a bond of mutual affection. To me, it's also someone you can celebrate with, cry with, confide in and count on when times get tough. I have always found relationships and friendships to be a very important ingredient to my success.
"La verdadera amistad resiste el tiempo, la distancia y el silencio."
― Isabel Allende, Portrait in Sepia
When someone knows the depths of your soul and who you really are and what you really stand for and still accept you with all of your flaws, then you have found yourself a true friend. I am very fortunate to have several friends that have been in my life for decades. When you are in someone's life for that many years you are bound to have some ups and downs. You get to experience the highs and the lows of each other's lives. You build a friendship though life's experiences and celebrations such as, graduations, weddings, births and sometimes you also experience the painful times, during break ups, divorces, sickness and loss. A long-term friendship is almost like a marriage – until death do you part.
As Latinas, I'm convinced that our circle of friends/amigas, including our tias, comadres and hermanas is very strong within our Hispanic culture and extremely vital to our happiness and our success. We rely and consult with our friends about many of our major life decisions and we provide and obtain guidance and direction and advice from each other on a regular basis. But like any long-term genuine relationship there are trials and tests that sometimes surface, but through it all a true friendship can stand the test of time through loyalty, love and forgiveness.
I am blessed to have several good friends that I have met over the years and I'm also very fortunate to have four really close longtime friends that I have known since childhood. I have watched each of them grow into beautiful Latina women, get married, have children and now some are even having grandchildren. It's pretty amazing how our closeness has stood the test of time. We have counseled each other, we have laughed and cried with each other -- and yes, we have even argued with each other from time to time – but to this day we remain very close friends.
Recently one of my closest longtime friends went to have a check-up for a minor medical issue and by happenstance a mass was found. The agony of finding out that someone you know and love and talk to everyday may have a cancerous tumor in her body was extremely hard to bear. Thankfully, she is one of the toughest Latinas I know and she held her head high with strong resolve and said to me, "I'm going to beat this and I'm going to be OK, you will see." And thankfully she was right! By the Grace of God, the tumor was found early and the surgeon removed the Stage 1 cancerous tumor from her body and she is doing excellent.
We all need friends. Latinas in particular take friendship and loyalty very serious. I am proud that I have been a friend and that I have good friends that I can call my "true friends." Viva la Amistad!

Ramanujam, J.
1. The petitioner is a director of Sri Ganapathy Mills Co. Ltd., Tirunelveli, hereinafter referred to as the company and he seeks a writ of mandamus directing the first respondent herein to forbear from taking any further action under S. 25Q for violation of S. 25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, hereinafter referred to as the Act on the ground that Ss. 25N and 25Q are unconstitutional.
2. The company is a spinning mill employing more than 300 workmen, In or about the beginning of 1977 it found the posts of two clerks, one store assistant and one office boy to be superflous to its needs and as a measure of economy it decided to abolish those posts. By a notice dated 16-1-77, the company retrenched respondents 2 to 5 holding the posts occupied by them to be surplus in accordance with S. 25F of the Act. Each of them was given one month's pay in lieu of notice and retrenchment compensation as per S. 25F. Further, by a notice in Form R dated 16-1-77 the company informed the Government of Tamil Nadu about the retrenchment of the four employees with effect from 17-1-1977 for the reasons set out in the said notice.
3. The Deputy Commissioner of Labour, the first respondent herein, however, issued a show-cause notice dated 16-4-1977 calling upon the petitioner and the other Directors of the company to show cause why prosecution should not be launched against each of them under S. 25Q of the Act for non-compliance with S. 25N(i) of the Act as amended by the Amending Act of 1976. Apprehending that prosecution may be launched against him, the petitioner has come forward with this writ petition challenging the constitutional validity of S. 25N and S. 25Q of the Act.
4. According to the petitioner, S. 25N is violative of Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution as the provisions of the said section are unreasonable as well as onerous and cannot, therefore, be treated as reasonable restrictions saved by clause (6). It is also his case that S. 25N in so far as it provides for a prior permission before effecting retrenchment affects the autonomy and discretion of the employer in matters which are legitimately and solely within its province and as such it is an unreasonable restriction on the right of the employer to carry on his business and that in any event, S. 25N in so far as it does not lay down any guidelines to control the discretion of the Government in granting or refusing permission for retrenchment, the power should be taken to be arbitrary and violative of Art. 14 of the Constitution. It is also submitted that in so far as S. 25N applies only to employers employing more than 300 persons and not to all employers, it is discriminatory in that an employer employing less than 300 persons will have an absolute discretion to retrench his surplus labour while the employers employing more than 300 persons will have no such discretion and the discretion in such cases is left to the Government and this classification of employees into two categories has no nexus at all to the objects sought to be achieved and, therefore, S. 25N introducing such a classification is discriminatory and as such violative of Art. 14 of the Constitution.
5. In the counter-affidavit filed by the Union of India, the 6th respondent herein it is stated that there is nothing unconstitutional or illegal in S. 25N or 25Q of the Act, that S. 25N does not prohibit an employer from retrenching his workmen but before doing so, he must satisfy the specified authority about the reasonableness of the proposed action, that the Act being a social welfare legislation the Government is entitled to cheek up unreasonable and indiscriminate actions of the employers in the interest of the working class, that Chapter VB of the Act was inserted by the Amending Act of 1976 with a view to check the incidence of lay-off, retrenchment and closure in larger industrial establishments to avoid labour unrest resulting from indiscriminate action on the part of the employers and that there is nothing unreasonable in the provisions of S. 25N so as to make it violative of Art. 19(1) of the Constitution. According to the 6th respondent it is not connect to state that the Government had not laid down any guidelines for the exercise of the power under R. 25N, that the guidelines are built in the provisions itself, that the specified authority has to give an opportunity to the employers wherever it considers it necessary that whenever permission is refused the reasons are to be recorded in writing, that time limit has also been prescribed for granting or refusing the permission that if permission is not granted within the time the employer can take it for granted that the permission asked for has been granted and, therefore, it should be taken that there are, sufficient guidelines for the exercise of the power under S. 25N. It is also stated that the guidelines issued to the State Governments contemplate both enquiry and hearing. The distinction made with regard to establishments employing 300 or more workers and other establishments is not discriminatory as larger industrial establishments have a capacity to withstand higher financial burden and in view of the larger number they employ they have to show further concern for their employees and it is not proper to burden smaller industrial establishments with procedural bottlenecks and, therefore, the number of workmen engaged is the most reasonable criterion for drawing a line of demarcation.
6. It is in the light of the above rival pleadings the question whether S. 25N and 25Q of the Industrial Disputes Act infringes the fundamental rights of the petitioner under Arts. 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.
7. Section 25N so far as it is relevant for the present discussion is as follows :
'25.N. Conditions precedent to retrenchment of workmen : (1) No workmen employed in any industrial establishment to which this Chapter applies, who has been in continuous service for not less than one year under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until, -
(a) the workman has been given three months' notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment and the period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for the period of the notice;
Provided that no such notice shall be necessary, if the retrenchment is under an agreement, which specifies a date for termination of service;
(b) the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to fifteen days' average pay for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of six months; and
(c) notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government or such authority as may be specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette, and the permission of such Government or authority is obtained under sub-s. (2).
(2) On receipt of the notice under clause (c) of sub-s. (1) the appropriate Government or authority may, after making such enquiry as such Government or authority thinks fit, grant or refuse, for reasons to be recorded in writing, the permission for the retrenchment to which the notice relates.
(3) Where the Government or authority does not communicate the permission or the refusal to grant the permission to the employer within three months of the date of service of the notice under clause (c) of sub-s. (1), the Government or authority shall be deemed to have granted permission for such retrenchment on the expiration of the said period of three months ........'
Section 25Q is as follows :
'Penalty for lay-off and retrenchment without previous permission : Any employer who contravenes the provisions of S. 25M or clause (c) of sub-s. (1) of sub-s. (4) of S. 25N shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one month, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.'
The above sections occur in Chapter VB which VB which was introduced by the Amending Act of 1976 and which applies to industrial establishments in which not less than 300 workmen are employed on an average per working day for the preceding twelve months as per S. 25K. It is not in dispute that Ss. 25N and 25Q apply to the company in question. As per the above provisions of S. 25N an employer employing more than 300 workmen has to give three months' notice in writing giving the reasons for retrenchment or payment of three months' wages in lieu of such notice and also issue a notice in the prescribed manner to the appropriate Government or such authority as may be specified by notification in the Official Gazette and obtain the permission of such Government or authority for retrenchment to which the notice relates. Section 25Q provides for punishment by way of imprisonment or fine of an employer who contravenes clause (c) of sub-s. (1) or (4) of S. 25N. According to the petitioner Ss. 25N and 25Q of the Act
are unconstitutional in that they impose unreasonable restrictions on the fundamental right to carry on business guaranteed under Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.
8. The law relating to retrenchment prior to the introduction of Chapter VB may briefly be traced. Section 2(oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act defines 'retrenchment' as termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action. Section 25F occurring in Chapter VA lays down three preconditions for effecting retrenchment of workmen, (i) the workmen concerned shall be given one month's previous notice indicating the reasons for retrenchment or paid one month's wages in lieu of such notice, (ii) the workmen have been paid retrenchment compensation calculated at the rate of fifteen days average pay for every completed year of service and (iii) notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government or such authority as may be specified. Section 25G lays down the procedure for retrenchment and it ensures the observance of the rule of last come first go. Section 25H provides that if at any future time the employer proposes to employ workmen, the retrenched workmen shall have preference in employment. Section 31(2) provides for a penalty for contravention by the employer of any of the provisions of the Act and the rules made thereunder. Under the said provisions the employer had the right to retrench his workmen provided retrenchment is justified. This right is, however, subject to the statutory liability to pay compensation and can be exercised only on certain statutory conditions being satisfied. If an employer retrenches any of his workman unjustifiably or without following the statutory procedure, the retrenchment will be' illegal' and the employer will face prosecution under S. 31(2) of the Act. However, if the employer acting bona fide for reasons of economy effects retrenchment strictly following the statutory procedure the Labour Courts and the Tribunals cannot sit in judgment over the employer's action. The retrenchment, if bonafide, cannot be interfered with even by the Labour Courts or the Industrial Tribunals has been held in Messrs. Parry and Co. Ltd. v. P. C. Pal, : (1970)IILLJ429SC .
9. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the law before the enactment of Amending Act 32 of 1976 with effect from 5th March, 1976 has sufficiently ensured by making stringent provisions to prevent the misuse of the right of the employer to retrench his workmen and ensured its proper exercise only in genuine and bonafide cases, and any infringement of the provisions relating to the retrenchment has also been made penal. In view of the then existing law it is said there was no necessity or justification for imposing stringent restrictions on the power of the employer to retrench his workmen even for bonafide causes by enacting Ss. 25N and 25R and, therefore, these provisions are onerous and unreasonable. According to the petitioner the restrictions imposed by S. 25N are unreasonable and as such violative of Arts. 19(1)(g) and 14 of the Constitution because (i) it confers power to give permission for retrenchment on an executive authority instead of a judicial Tribunal and even judicial or quasijudicial Tribunals like the Labour Courts and Industrial Tribunals cannot go into the propriety of the policy of retrenchment adopted or followed by the employer as held by judicial decisions but the executive authority has been given the power under S. 25N to grant or withhold permission to retrench in its discretion. This virtually takes away the employer's right to retrench its workmen for bona fide reasons. The constitution of an executive authority to control the discretion of the employer to retrench his workmen for bonafide causes is virtually an unjustified interference with the employer's right to carry on his business. While under the earlier law even quasi-judicial Tribunals like the Labour Courts and Industrial Tribunals cannot go into the wisdom of the employer in retrenching its workmen for bonafide causes, S. 25N gives an unguided and arbitrary power to the executive authority to sit in judgment over the employer's decision and such an interference is unreasonable. (2) Against the decision of the executive authority refusing permission there is no right of appeal provided and, therefore, the employer is without any comedy to challenge even an arbitrary decision of the executive authority withholding the permission even in bona fide cases. (3) If permission is given, workers can go by way of an industrial dispute questioning the retrenchment. But if permission is refused, no remedy is available to the employer who is virtually the other party to the dispute. (4) No procedure for the proper working of S. 25N has been provided either in the Act or in the rules. (5) Section 25N itself does not give any guidelines for the exercise of the power thereunder by the executive authority.
10. The learned counsel for the petitioner in support of his submission relies on a recent decision of the Supreme Court in Excel Wear v. Union of India : (1978)IILLJ527SC , wherein Ss. 25-O and 25R of the Act imposing similar restrictions and penalties have been held to be unconstitutional. To find out whether the reasons given by the Supreme Court for striking down Ss. 25-O and 25R will apply here, it is necessary to consider the scope of the said provisions. Sections 25-O and 25R also occur in Chapter VB which governs all undertaking wherein more than 300 workers are employed. Section 25-O(1) provides that an employer who intends to close down his industrial establishment shall serve a notice in the prescribed manner, on the appropriate Government stating clearly the reasons for the intended closure of the undertaking and apply for the prior permission of the appropriate Government to close down the undertaking. Sub-section (2) of S. 25-O provided that where the appropriate Government is satisfied that the reasons for the intended closure are not adequate and sufficient it can direct the employer not to close down the undertaking. Section 25-O(5) says that where no application is made or where the permission applied for has been refused, the closure of the undertaking shall be deemed to be illegal from the date of closure and the workmen shall be entitled to all the benefits under any law for the time being in force as if no notice had been given to him. Section 25R provides for a penalty by way of imprisonment for a period not exceeding 6 months or fine extending to Rs. 5,000, or with both for closing down an undertaking without complying with the provisions of S. 25-O(1). The Constitutional validity of these Ss. 25-O and 25R was challenged on the ground that they are violative of Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. Upholding the said objection the Supreme Court expressed the view that S. 25-O as a whole S. 25R in so far as it relates to the awarding of punishment for infraction of the provisions of S. 25-O are constitutionally invalid for the following reasons : Instrinsically on provision of Chapter VB suggests that the object of carrying on the production can be achieved by the refusal to grant permission although in the Objects and Reasons of the Amending Act such an object seems to be there, although remotely. It is highly unreasonable to achieve the object by compelling the employer not to close down in public interest for maintaining production. Although Chapter VB deals with certain comparatively bigger undertakings, it does not make the law reasonable, though the classification of undertakings for purposes of the provisions of Chapter VB can be taken to be a reasonable classification for saving the law from violation of Art. 14, it certainly does not make the restriction reasonable within the meaning of Art. 19(6). The reasonableness has got to be tested both from the procedural and substantive aspects of the law. In cases of bona fide closures though the reasons given by the employers are correct, adequate and sufficient, yet the permission to close down can be refused on the ground of public interest because the interest of labour for the time being is bound to suffer as it makes a worker unemployed, but it is not reasonable to give then protection by compelling the employer to manage the undertaking even when they do not find it safe and practicable to manage the affairs, that they cannot be compelled to go on incurring losses year after year. There is already a built in safeguard in S. 25FFF to prevent a malafide closure and the requirement as to permission before closure which may be refused by the appropriate Government even if the grounds set out in S. 25FFF are established will amount to an unreasonable restriction. The law may provide to deter the reckless, unfair, unjust or mala fide closures but cannot prevent the employer from closing down as it is essentially an interference with his fundamental right to carry on the business. Section 25-O does not provide any guidelines for the exercise of the power to grant or refuse permission. The appropriate Government may whimsically and capriciously refuse the permission to close down even if a case has been made out for closure. The section does not compel the appropriate Government to give reasons for the refusal. Any order passed by the authority is not subject to any scrutiny by any higher authority or Tribunal in appeal or in revision.
11. The learned counsel for the petitioner strongly relies on the said judgment of the Supreme Court and submits that the reasons for invalidating Ss. 25-O and 25R squarely apply here. It is said that even in S. 25N it has been left to the caprice and whims of the authority to decide one way or the other in the matter of grant of permission to retrench, and the guidelines have been given, that though S. 25N(2) requires reasons to be given unlike S. 25-O, so long as there are no guidelines the reasons for refusal may be whimsical and fanciful but such orders cannot be corrected either by way of an appeal or revision. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner the only difference between Ss. 25N and 25-O is that S. 25N compels the authority to give reasons and S. 25-O does not make the recording of reasons a statutory necessity, and the mere provision in S. 25N for giving reasons for refusal without providing the guidelines and without setting up a machinery for rectifying the whimsical and fanciful orders cannot make the section reasonable if it is otherwise unreasonable.
12. Having due regard to the above decision of the Supreme Court we are of the view that S. 25N suffers from arbitrariness and unreasonableness. Section 25N or any other provisions of the Act does not provide the guidelines as to how the applications for permission by an employer for retrenchment have to be disposed of and on what grounds the permission could be refused. It does not provide for any appeal or revision even against the arbitrary orders of refusal. The provision so far as it imposes such a restriction is unreasonable having regard to the fact that the employer is forced to continue the employment of personnel who are found to be surplus for his requirements and thus incur unnecessary expenditure in connection with his undertaking, leading ultimately to curtailment of his profits. Sections 25F, 25G and 25H provide for sufficient safeguards in the matter of retrenchment of workmen by the employer. In addition to those provisions to compel an employer to continue to employ surplus labour by refusing permission under S. 25N will be an unreasonable restriction which will violate Arts. 19(1)(f) and (g) of the Constitution.
13. The learned counsel for the respondents would, however, point out that though there are no specific guidelines provided in the section, elaborate details which the applicant has to give in the prescribed form for applying for permission will sufficiently guide the authority in the matter of grant of permission, and, therefore, it cannot be said that S. 25N is bad for the reason that no guidelines are given therein. But the Supreme Court in the above case has rejected an identical contention put forward on behalf of the Union of India by observing that all the comprehensive and detailed information given in the application form are of no avail to the employer if the law permits the authority to pass capricious, whimsical and one sided orders without actually providing guidelines and without providing for rectification of the order by any higher authority in appeal or in revision. The learned counsel for the respondent submits that a bare possibility that powers may he misused or abused cannot per se make the power bad and the power having been entrusted to the Government and not to any petty official, the abuse of power cannot be easily assumed. The power under S. 25N(2) can be exercised not only by the appropriate Government but also by a subordinate authority if authorised by that Government. The power to grant permission may be exercised by other authorities as well. It is not, therefore, possible, to accept the above submission as tenable. It has been held in M/s. Dwarka Prasad Laxmi Narain v. The State of Uttar Pradesh and 2 others, (1954) S.C.R. 803 : : [1954]1SCR803 , that an absolute power to grant or reject a licence without guidelines is unreasonable and as such amenable to constitutional attack. Here in addition to the absence of guidelines any order passed is not subject to scrutiny by higher authority. We are, therefore, of the view that the principle laid down by the Supreme Court in the above case while dealing with the validity of Ss. 25-O and 25R will apply here as well.
14. The learned counsel for the respondents would, however, invite our attention to an unreported decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in W.P. Nos. 3086, 6060 and 6161 of 1978 wherein Division Bench upheld the validity of S. 25M. Before that Court the decision of the Supreme Court above referred to was relied on by the employer but the Court held that S. 25M is not in pari materia with S. 25-O which was the subject-matter before the Supreme Court, that there are two points of difference between the two Ss. 25-O and 25M that S. 25M requires reasons to be recorded in writing, that it provides that permission shall be deemed to have been granted on the expiry of the period of two months and that the two points of difference are substantial, and, therefore, the decision of the Supreme Court cannot be invoked to invalidate S. 25M. With respect, we are not inclined to agree with the reasoning given by the Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court in the said decision, Firstly, a mere provision requiring reasons to be given cannot be taken to be a sufficient safeguard against arbitrary refusal unless guidelines are set out. Unless guidelines are there, it is not possible to find out whether the reasons given for refusal are proper and germane. Even in a case where the employer makes out a good case for retrenchment, it is possible for the appropriate authority to refuse to grant permission by giving some reasons. There is no provision in the Act to question such whimsical orders by filing appeals or revisions. Therefore, the possibility of permission being withheld unreasonably cannot be ruled out. The mere provision providing for reasons to be given by the authority cannot be said to be a sufficient safeguard for the proper exercise of the power to grant or refuse permission. As has been held in M/s. Dwarka Prasad Laxmi Narain v. The State of Uttar Pradesh and 2 others, (1954) S.C.R. 803 : : [1954]1SCR803 , the requirement as to the recording of reasons for the order is not a sufficient safeguard as it is hardly effective for there is no higher authority prescribed in the section who could examine the property or the reasons given and revise or review the decision of the authority, and the reasons to be recorded are only for its personal or subjective satisfaction and not for furnishing any remedy to the aggrieved person. Secondly, the provision for a deemed permission on the expiry of the two months period is not also a sufficient safeguard against arbitrary refusal to give permission. The two main and substantial reasons given by the Supreme Court are that no guidelines are available from the statute and that there is no provisions to set right an arbitrary exercise of power. Those defects are present even in Ss. 25N as well as in S. 25M. In the Andhra Pradesh case the Court has also taken the view that there is a sufficient guidelines in S. 2(KKK) of the Act which says when there can be a valid lay-off. With respect, we are not inclined to agree. As we have already said, even in a case where the employer had made out a case for a valid lay-off as provided in S. 2(KKK) the authority may refuse the permission and there is no way of challenging that refusal under the Act. Before the introduction of Chapter VB, even the Judicial Tribunals cannot question the right of management to retrench for bona fide causes. Now under S. 25, an executive authority has been given the power to question the right of the employer to retrench even in bona fide cases, and the power is quite unguided. We are, therefore, of the view that the reasons given by the Supreme Court for invalidating S. 25-O and S. 25R will also apply here and S. 25N and S. 25Q are to be taken to be invalid for violation of Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution.
15. We cannot, however, agree with the contention of the petitioner that the classification of industries into two groups for the purpose of application of Chapter VB is violative of Art. 14 of the Constitution. As a matter of the fact the Supreme Court dealing with such a contention in Excel Wear v. Union of India, : (1978)IILLJ527SC , has observed :
It is no doubt true that Chapter VB deals with certain comparatively bigger undertakings and of a few types only ... It may be a reasonable classification for saving the law from violation of Art. 14 but certainly it does not make the restriction reasonable within the meaning of Art. 19(6)'.
From the above passage it is clear that the Supreme Court has taken the view that the classification of Industrial establishments for the purpose of Chapter VB is a reasonable classification. The petitioner would put his argument slightly differently and contend that the classification of employers into two categories, those employing more than 300 workmen and those employing less and curtailing or taking away the right of the employers in the first category alone to retrench their workmen will violate Art. 14 of the Constitution. Whether it is taken as a classification of undertakings or of the employers, it is be sed on the number of persons employed. This classification has sufficient nexus with the object sought to be achieved by the Act which is to avoid or settle industrial disputes. It cannot be disputed that more the workmen, the possibility of industrial unrest is more. Therefore, a special provision with reference to larger undertakings or bigger employers to avoid industrial unrest cannot be taken to offend Art. 14.
16. Following the decision of the Supreme Court in Excel Wear v. Union of India (supra) the writ petition is allowed and it is declared that S. 25N of the Act as a whole and S. 25Q in so far as it relates to the awarding of punishment for infraction of the provisions of S. 25N are constitutionally bad and invalid for violation of Art. 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. There will, however, be no order as to costs. Learned counsel for the sixth respondent craves leave of this Court for filing an appeal against the judgment just now rendered before the Supreme Court. However, having regard to the fact that in rendering the said judgment we have merely applied the decision of the Supreme Court, this does not appear to be a fit case for granting leave. Hence the request for leave is rejected.

Customers Reviews
Paul B1 year agoI had been in the market for a 2012 Shelby GT500 when I came across the Auto Palace Ad on Cars.com. I sent in a request for information which was responded to immediately by Steve Blackwell. We spoke a few times by phone and he was super helpful, even found financing that beat my bank by a large margin! I lived over 325 miles away so did a Fly and Drive with my 2 boys. Steve gave us the royal treatment and even arranged a ride to the dealership from my Hotel near the airport! We were even treated to a tour of the facility and of their private collection of Automobiles which was very interesting and extensive. The paper work was painless as everything was prepared and before we knew it we were on our way back home. The car ran flawlessly and even averaged 23 .8 MPG on the drive home. Not bad for a 550HP vehicle! I am super happy and offer a sincere Thank You! to the team at Auto Palace!
Michael Bazzone1 year agoFred was very professional and no pressure. Was very accommodating explains every detail of car. A real gentelman.
Bobby W2 years agoSpoke to a salesman wanting to find s newer Boxster. Nice fellow who didn't pressure me. I liked that. Made me want to deal with him when the time comes.
Matt M5 years agoI've been thinking of picking up a 911 for a few years now and have stopped by every year or so with Tom Sawyer. They offer a low pressure approach and when the time came to purchase I couldn't have been happier with the service and the easy process. I'd highly recommend them.
Ken C.6 years agoDealt w/ Jaison on a used Corvette. I live 200 miles away. All negotiation done on internet.Numbers discussed were spot on when I arrived. Most painless process I've ever had working with a dealer.
Mouse7 years agoThis was the easiest auto purchase i have ever experienced. Good solid people.
Capleton2 years agoThe Best Porsche Dealer in th US! We live in South Florida with one of the largest Porsche dealers in the country in our backyard - we used to buy our Porsche's from them. While we have never lived in Pennsylvania, we just completed the purchase and received delivery of our 3rd (Macan Turbo) and 4th (Cayman) Porsche's from Auto Palace Porsche. Aaron and his team ave been spectacular. All of our dealings with the team at Auto Palace Poesche have been simple, straight forward, open, honest, and above all, fair. No hidden cost, no extra fees, and customer service second to none. Thanks again Aaron and Auto Porsche Palace Brian & Mindy
Turbo073 years agoIf your in need of a new or used car, service, parts this is the place. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, and very Knowledgable. Great selection of vehicles new or preowned. Stop in and take a look.
sooner111 years agoAuto Palace is the best place to buy a car in Pittsburgh. They are very helpful and understanding. I purchased a 2008 Porsche Cayenne and also got a used Mini for my daughter. Very pleased with the price and sevice.
Ronny Kalash1 week agoI had an excellent experience at Auto Palace and with salesman Jake Campbell. I entered the dealership as a novice to the brand and vehicle lineup and Jake made finding the right car very straightforward. He helped me enjoy learning about each option, and which Porsche would best fit my needs/wants. Jake was very patient, informative, and non-pressuring throughout the entire process. He helped me feel comfortable, and I would recommend him to any potential buyers.
Don R1 week agoAuto Palace is the definition of the modern automobile dealership. They recognize that with all the information available to consumers that the days of sales gamesmanship dealers used to play are obsolete. They are professional, knowledgeable, straightforward and make the buying experience simple and enjoyable.
Melinda Robson2 weeks agoI had a great experience with Auto Palace. They were timely and responsive. I would recommend this dealership to my friends and family.
Alex Corry1 month agoRecently stopped in to have my Porsche serviced at this dealer. Jake Campbell took care of everything I could have needed done and then some! If you want exceptional service and want to feel treated with the utmost respect, I cant recommend dealing with Jake for any of your Porsche needs.
TrakWpn1 month agoMy sales guy left but I wasn't left out to dry. Enter Jake. He took over and has gone above and beyond. Jake isn't just another sales guy, he is passionate about luxury and performance cars and unlike some of the sales guys you will meet at other dealerships, this guy knows his stuff. Top notch! Working with Jake has been a refreshing experience.
Zach Bakaitis1 month agoI recently visited Auto Palace Porsche to inquire about purchasing a used vehicle. When I walked inside, a salesman named Jake-Dunks Campbell immediately greeted me and made me feel at home. Once this connection was established, I was informed about several possibilities and was given useful information to retain for the future. When the time is right, I will certainly purchase a used vehicle from Jake. Ask for Jake and you will receive a truly outstanding experience! I highly recommend Auto Palace Porsche for anyone who is looking to purchase a fine, luxury automobile!
Joe Pontoli1 month agoWorked with Jake at Auto-Palace in Pittsburgh. He's very knowledgeable and a hard worker. I had a very positive experience and would recommend Jake and Auto-Palace to any of my friends and relatives.
Aliks Daniels2 months agoFor a young professional, it was hard to go to dealerships and be taken seriously when trying to buy a sports car. I went to multiple dealerships and would have to wait a while for someone to come up to me and got rejected countless of times to test drive. At auto palace, they treated me like a high end customer and not as a kid. I also highly recommend to stop by and just take a look. They are super friendly and allow people to experience luxuries that most people can not. Thank you for everything guys and a big thank you to Jake, for going above and beyond.
Lisa Carskadden3 months agoWe absolutely LOVE Auto Palace!! Every single person we have met and worked with there truly know and understand their product lines and provide exceptional service... whether it's Jake in sales, Eric in parts, Max, Nick or Dan in service or Wayman (the tech guru!). (My apologies if I missed anyone!) Everyone is professional, courteous and respectful. It is clear that Auto Palace focuses on quality product and service as well as customer satisfaction. The entire team represents the Porsche brand well! We just purchased our first Porsche last month and look forward to working with Auto Palace to maintain our new Cayenne for years to come... as well as possibly a new Panamera, too... that my husband has his eye on ;-)
Spencer Lieber3 months agoA close friend of mine was looking to add a new vehicle to his stable and Jake Dunks-Campbell at Auto Palace was more than willing to assist and made the entire process of finding, acquiring and delivering a vehicle seamless and provided peace of mind that is invaluable. If you or someone you know is interested in acquiring a high quality vehicle with the high quality customer experience to match, then Jake and the team at Auto Palace will definitely have you covered!
Elias A.7 months agoGreat customer service. Purchased a used Boxster though them and the price was fair, the experience was smooth and without hassle, and they were honest and easy to deal with. Even helped me to set up shipping for out of state delivery. Very highly recommended.
Tim W.2 years agoMy Porsche Cayenne was getting up there not only in age but, in mileage as well so I decided to upgrade to the current body style Cayenne S while my Cayenne still had some resale value. I wanted to sell it out right as I received several cash offers but, the potential buyers turned out to be B.S.ing around. I had my eye on a beautiful, loaded new body style Cayenne S on Auto Palace's lot but, felt the price was just too high to fit into my budget. Upon entering one of the salesmen, Steve Blackwell greeted me. I told him which Cayenne I was interested and he grabbed the key and we went for a test drive. Immediately I fell in love! I had test driven other new Cayennes so I knew this one was the one. About a week later with a bit of negotiating I was able to get the Cayenne down to a price that would fit my budget. Steve also gave me a fair trade in for my current Cayenne.I have had my new Cayenne in for service a few times since and Nate in the service department has always taken excellent care of me. If you don't want to wait while service is being performed they offer a free shuttle to take you to your home or office and come back and pick you up when your Porsche is finished. On one occasion I was even given a rental car when one service took longer than expected as all of their loaner vehicles were out. Debbie even called me later to make sure that I was pleased with the services that were rendered and that I didn't have any further issues or concerns.I have been smiling ever since and smile every time I turn the key and hear the glorious growl from that delicious sounding V8.
Gerard C.2 years agoExcellent warranty service and follow up. I have a 6 month old Macan and it needed some warranty work. They immediately knew what clam shell noise I as complaining about and replicated it without a test drive. The squeaky steering column was also diagnosed as a known issue and parts were immediately ordered from Germany. Every effort was expended to search for the steering part in the US but was determined to be an item from Germany. They ensured that I got my car back whilst waiting for the part. I would certainly come here for service since it is only a short distance from downtown. The shuttle was efficient and drivers courteous.
Vikram M.5 years agoI had always been a bit intimidated by this place, with its very high end Porsches and even some exotics. I had a problem with my 1991 928GT and so I brought it here since it was so close by. I was so pleasantly surprised by the high quality, attentive, and humble service. I can recommend Auto Palace without reservation. This is a fine establishment that treats its customers well and with respect.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has accused Denmark of enacting "deeply concerning" immigration policies which "could fuel fear [and] xenophobia," and has insisted that Denmark must reverse recent policies designed to make itself a less attractive destination for illegal immigrants.
Denmark has recently sought to dissuade illegal immigrants from making their way to the country by cutting the benefits handing out to migrants, and placing adverts abroad advising people of the change and warning them not to come. The country has been overwhelmed by migrants recently, with many local town halls reporting that they are not able to cover the costs of accommodating the newcomers.
There are signs that the policies are working; in September some Middle Eastern migrants told a Danish journalist that they wanted to be relocated to Sweden or Finland, where "salaries for refugees" (i.e. government benefits) are higher.
However, in a biting 18 page report the UNHCR has deeply censured Denmark, accusing the northern European country of violating its "long tradition of providing sanctuary to those in need," the Local has reported.
"The proposals presented by the government are evidently aimed at conveying a message to make it 'less attractive' to seek asylum in Denmark, and is a deeply concerning response to humanitarian needs. UNHCR regrets that Denmark is restricting its asylum legislation for the sole purpose of curbing the number of asylum-seekers, instead of focusing on promoting and supporting a fair distribution of asylum-seekers within all EU Member States," the report reads.
Denmark's plans to tighten rules on family reunification and the obtainment on permanent residency, also came in for criticism – the report claims the measures will negatively impact integration.
And plans to confiscate valuables from migrants to cover the costs of accommodation and processing of asylum applications was slammed as "an affront to their dignity and an arbitrary interference with their right to privacy".
Danish Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg defended the policy, writing on Facebook:
"I can see that some foreign media are pouring scorn over (the fact) that we in the future may withdraw asylum seekers' valuables and demand that they should pay for their stay in asylum centres themselves.
"There is no reason to criticise, since it is already the case that if you as a Dane have valuables for more than 10,000 kroner ($1,450, 1,340 euros) it may be required that this is sold before you can receive unemployment benefits."
The policy specifically excludes items "necessary to maintain a modest standard of living" such as watches and mobile phones; also items with a personal, sentimental value, unless they are high value items.
Nonetheless, the UNHCR insists: "The signal Denmark's introduction of restrictions sends to other countries in the world […] is worrisome and could fuel fear, xenophobia and similar restrictions that would reduce – rather than expand – the asylum space globally and put refugees in need at life-threatening risks."
The government's plans to tighten migration enjoy strong support in the Danish Parliament, however, and are expected to be approved in the coming weeks.

Welcome to Aubrey Kilian's blog. I came across the name for my online presence after playing around with an anagram server and throwing a bunch of techie words at it, and the name just kind of stuck.
I felt the need to create a new blog, with a new name, due to my previous one feeling a bit juvenile, and wanting my web-presence to reflect something a little less, well, juvenile. 🙂 And yet, games will still feature on the blog. Amongst things like mobile development, games development, coding, hardware, Linux and whatever techie/geeky stuff may come up.
My ultimate life goal is to be a successful (Indie) Games Developer. And by "life goal" I mean "dream", by "successful" I mean "love what I do and make enough money to sustain life", and by "Indie Games Developer" I mean "Somebody that creates games for a living". I have a severe lack of creative bones in my body, so artistry in games is something I trust other people to do, but game mechanics and nitty-gritty coding, that's my happy place.

I'm very excited to be using Shell X-100 Classic motor oil in my car for this year's upcoming Mille Miglia race in Italy.
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) March 11, 2016
Wayne Carini, reality television star of the Velocity Channel's hit TV series "Chasing Classic Cars" is officially endorsing new Classic Shell X-100 motor oil. Wayne will appear at the Shell X-100 booth at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance Classic car show March 11-13 in Amelia Island Florida. He will also be representing Shell X-100 at other show venues, on the website and in various media formats.
Wayne commented: "I'm very excited to be using Shell X-100 Classic motor oil in my car for this year's upcoming Mille Miglia race in Italy."
Classic Shell X-100 Motor Oils are formulated to meet the needs of older engines including classic and vintage vehicles. The entire formulation is tailored as a complete protection system, not just regular or multi grade oil boosted with a zinc additive.
Recommended for use in: classic, antique, muscle cars, motorcycles, tractors, farm machinery, commercial, marine and military vehicles where engine designs prohibit the use of low viscosity multi grade engine oils.
Wayne's zeal for cars began a child, working alongside his father on Duesenbergs, Lincolns, Packards, and Model A Fords. At the age of nine, he went for his first ride in a 1960 Ferrari Rosso Chiaro 250 SWB, and his life was forever changed.
Wayne continues to make a huge contribution as a car restorer. He is respected not only for his profession but for the way he helps others understand the value and importance of such cars through his top rated television show and classic car dealership, F40 Motorsports, F40 Restoration and Carini Consulting where Wayne advises and manages collections for clients around the world.
For additional details and product ordering information go to the Shell X-100 website http://www.shellx100oil.com
Into Great Brands Inc. (IGB) has entered into an exclusive agreement with Heritage Fuels & Lubricants (HFL) Ltd. from the UK (HFL is an affiliate of the TSBA group and Official Shell Licensee) to market Shell X-100 Classic Motor Oil in North America.

State Auto Insurance Requirements
Each individual state in the United States has it's own unique auto insurance requirements. The second you drive the car off the lot, you are expected by law to have that vehicle insured. This is why it's important to see your state's auto insurance requirements before purchasing car insurance.
If you don't have insurance and drive anyways, you can expect to have your license suspended when your local MVA or DMV catches wind of it. Should you be pulled over by a police officer without proof of insurance (or even worse – get into an accident without insurance), don't be surprised when they give you a ticket or tell you the vehicle will have to be towed.
In other words, if you're driving, you better be darn sure you have an auto insurance policy (and proof of it too)!
Continue reading below to discover where to go to learn about your state's minimum requirements, why state's have auto insurance laws, the limits required in your state, and how to make sure you are adequateness covered.
How Do I Find Out My State's Requirements?
There are a couple of ways you can go about determining the level of auto coverage your state expects you to have. And one is considerably easier than the other.
You could contact the DMVyourself, search endlessly through their website for the answer, or ask an auto insurance agent. But who want to spend anymore time dealing with the DMV than they have to? Not me!
The significantly easier route is to scroll to the top of this page and enter your zip code. You'll instantly be provided with quotes from the highest rates auto insurance providers in the industry based on your specific needs and the requirements laid out by your state.
Why are there state auto insurance laws?
If you were the only one at risk when driving, such laws probably wouldn't be in place. But the fact of the matter is, regardless of how good a driver you think you are, when you are on the road one small mistake could cause serious harm to yourself and others.
Which is exactly why minimum state auto insurance laws exist.
Most states require you to have both collision and liability coverage, so that if you happen to cause damage to yourself, others, or their property; everyone is covered.
It may just seem like yet another hoop you have to jump through to get your car on the road. However, if someone strikes you with their vehicle, you're going to be very happy that state auto insurance laws are in place, and that you won't have to fight to get the reimbursement you deserve.
State-by-State Minimum Requirements
The list below lists each state and their minimum insurance requirement numbers. The first two numbers refer to bodily injury liability limits and the third number refers to the property damage liability limit. For example, Alaska requires 50/100/25. This means each person injured would receive a maximum of $50,000 with only $100,000 allowed per accident. The last number refers to the total coverage for property damage, which in this case is $25,000.
Look for your state below:
Making Sure You're Vehicle Meets State Minimums
Don't allow yourself to hit the road without making absolutely sure you're policy is up to snuff with minimum state auto insurance requirements. It could wind up costing you hundreds of dollars in tickets and tow fees. Not to mention the horrors you may have to deal with should you be involved in a collision.
After entering your zip code above, it literally only takes moments to see if you have adequate coverage in your state. Don't procrastinate – see if you meet your state's auto insurance requirements right now, and safe yourself a bunch of money in the process!
