A council chief has spoken in court about the impact a prolific blogger has had on her work and home life.
Chief executive of Rutland County Council, Helen Briggs, was giving evidence at Leicester Magistrates Court yesterday (Thursday) against Martin Brookes, who is charged with harassing and stalking her.
Brookes is also charged with stalking and harassing Oakham town councillor Charles Howarth however, two other charges of harassing and stalking police officer Christopher Wharton were dismissed yesterday at the request of prosecutor John Western.
During the third day of the trial, Mrs Briggs was cross-examined by Brookes' defence solicitor David Swingler.
He suggested that many of Brookes' blog posts, which include accusations of "bullying", having a "special relationship" with the police and misusing public money for her own benefit, were reasonably held opinions.
He argued that under article 10 of the Human Rights Act, Brookes was exercising his freedom of expression.
Mr Swingler said: "It doesn't mean what he is saying is right, but it is his right to say it."
The defence questioned why Mrs Briggs is only taking action against Brookes and not other people who have questioned her conduct, including Private Eye magazine which published an article about "rotten" Rutland.
Mrs Briggs said: "This has been going on for years. I ignored it initially because I thought that was a sensible thing to do. It's not about anything in the last six months - I have to take into account the cumulative impact of his behaviour.
"The Private Eye article made very uncomfortable reading. I wouldn't agree it was acceptable but it was not sustained. It was an isolated incident."
Mrs Briggs added: "He (Brookes) has a right to express his opinion but I'm here because of the cumulative impact of his statements.
"There are acceptable degrees of criticism and there are subject areas that are uncomfortable for my family and colleagues.
"I have never before had to explain to my family and friends why things are appearing on blogs about the way I conduct my job."
Mrs Briggs admitted she had never directly asked Brookes to remove his blog posts or correct their inaccuracies.
Extracts were read out from Brookes' blog, one which said she used council money to "fund her hobby" of cycling by making a contribution to the Rutland-Melton International CiCLE Classic.
In response, Mrs Briggs said: "Mr Brookes always jumps to the conclusion that whatever I do, whether that be cycling or having contact details for the police, that my motive is always inappropriate or worse."
Earlier in the day the court heard evidence from Det Sgt David McDonald, who had interviewed Mrs Briggs about Brookes' behaviour.
He claimed the main issue of the case is the way Brookes publishes his comments rather than the actual content of his blogs and e-mails.
He said: "The method in which he deliver his criticisms is a mechanical method of attacking a person's character.
"I see the issue is the robust way he used modern communications to get out his message."
The trial had previously heard that Oakham town councillor Charles Howarth had set up an anonymous blog called The Laughing Stocks which he had used to attack Brookes.
When Det Sgt McDonald was asked why Mr Howarth had not been charged for the content of his blog, he said: "Both (blogs) were as bad as each other but I didn't believe we would get a prosecution if it was brought to court."
The defence also questioned evidence provided by Mr Howarth earlier in the week, who claimed he had received "dozens" of phone calls and messages from Brookes and seen him loitering outside his home.
Mr Swingler asked for the charges relating to Mr Howarth's "weak, vague and inconsistent" evidence to be dismissed as he believed there was no case to answer.
But district judge John Temperley ruled that the credibility of the evidence was not questionable enough to drop the charges.
The case will resume at Loughborough Magistrates Court on October 8.

Prius manufacturing headed to the U.S. for the first time
Toyota to shuffle line-up, move hybrid car manufacturing to Mississippi
Responding to the global issues of oil supply and local sourcing, Toyota will produce the hybrid Prius in the U.S. beginning in 2010.
The company said Thursday it will build the Prius in 2010 at its new plant in Blue Springs, MS. Toyota already builds a hybrid version of the Camry sedan in the Georgetown, KY, plant that won the 2006 Plant Engineering Top Plant award. The Prius is the most popular hybrid car on the road in the U.S. and deamnd is high, but this is the first time the Prius will be manufactured in the United States.
As another indicator of the changing mood in the vehicle market, Toyota will also suspend production of its Tundra pickup truck in San Antonion and its Sequoia SUV in Princeton, IN.
According to a CNN/Money report , Toyota said it made the moves as U.S. demand for trucks and SUVs continues to decline. Toyota's U.S. sales fell 21% in June compared with the year before, an even steeper decline than the industrywide slump of 18%. Sales of the Tundra were down 54% while sales of the Prius fell 34% as Toyota failed to keep up with growing demand.
"The truck market continues to worsen, so unfortunately we must temporarily suspend production. But this good news about production mix demonstrates our long-term commitment to our North American operations and to our team members, suppliers and communities where our plants are located," Jim Wiseman, vice president for Toyota Motor engineering and Manufacturing North America, said in a statement.
Toyota has 13 North American plants and two under construction in Mississippi and Ontario, employing more than 43,000 workers.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Fire D Thompson suspended and finedAP , Associated Press
Apr. 25, 2013 5:19 PM ET
NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Fire defender Wells Thompson was suspended for a game and fined an undisclosed amount Thursday for his reckless challenge on Columbus' Agustin Viana in a game April 20.
Thompson was shown a yellow card for his dangerous slide tackle. Viana had clear possession of the ball when Thompson went hurtling into him with both feet, knocking Viana to the ground in the 12th minute of their game.

If a teenager has a phone he or she tends to go on games, social media, and listen to music. None of these three things fit in to the category of what you are supposed to use a phone for. Phones are meant for calling and texting in emergencies, and not too long ago that's what people used them for. But now that they have got all fancy phones have apps like instagram, minecraft, snapchat and many more useless sites.
It isn't so much our phones that we are addicted to, but more the apps on our phones. I know many of my friends have social media apps on their phones, making it hard to resist going on them.
Social media is kind of like a competition. Whenever I am on snapchat and I see that someone else is having a great time I feel pressured to make it look like I'm having fun too. But the fact is no one really cares what you're doing as long as they are doing something better. Not only are you pressured by your friends, but also you are pressured to know what celebrity is doing what, and what the newest songs are. All this stress could lead to depression neglect of friends, family, work or school.
Though this is a problem, just being on your phone is a problem as well. Most teenagers go to bed with their phones. This is very bad for your eyes. Also you can't get a good sleep which means you'll be tired in the morning, you won't be able to pay attention in class, your grades will drop and it all goes downhill from there. So being on your phone doesn't just affect your eyes. It also lowers your ability to talk to people in person because you're so used to texting that you can't get through a conversation without getting anxious.
Phones also affect your reading. As I read in this article (Digital Distractions: your brain on screens) a class from Pine Crest was brought to a huge beautiful library and all the students sat there on their phones. It is because teenagers become so obsessed with their phones that they could bump into a person and still not notice it. In the article it also says that being addicted to your phone is just like being addicted to drugs, alcohol, or gambling. My mother always says anything is good as long as it is used in moderation. That means being on your phone is fine just not for excessive amounts of time.

South Korean priest's challenge to government draws angry reaction
November 27, 2013
The Archbishop of Seoul, Korea, has appealed for calm, but defended the right of the Church to comment on public issues, after a priest's complaints against the government prompted an angry reaction against the Church.
AsiaNews reports that Father Park Chang-shin launched complaints about electoral fraud and about government spying on citizens. The priest's public remarks outraged supporters of President Park Geun-hye, who organized protests at the Seoul cathedral. The offices of the archdioces were swamped with angry phone calls, and the cathedral was evacuated on Monday after a bomb threat.
Archbishop Andrew Yeom Soo-jung said that "it is not the role of the pastors of the Church to intervene directly" in the country's political life. At the same time, "We Christians cannot play the role of Pilate, washing our hands," he said. "We must be involved in politics,"

Case: Chambers--CLOSED
After arriving in the 21st Centurty,Eunica was taken in by IMP and told that Time Magic was an illegal form of magic. Little did she know that IMP was manipulating her to appease her mentor, known simply as Captain, who was an alchemist lich who had stolen her older brother's body. This case is one that made Chambers infamous, due to her unprofessional handling of it and lack of magical knowledge.
The Cross Branch also began to hunt Chambers, revealing that IMP had fully intended for the sisters to die. Chambers was put under the protection of Deathsayers.
Upon the conclusion of the Imposter Case, Chamber neutralized Captain and left Central. IMP has also disappeared entirely. However, reminants of the Cross Branch may still remain.
Case Closed on June 6, 2012
Black Rain Case--CLOSED
In the midst of the Chambers Case, an imposter tried to kill Officer Russell Peters of CPD. Chambers was under the protection of Deathsayers, at this time and when the news reached her, Icer of the Deathsayers distracted her bodyguards long enough for her to escape and investigate this to prove her innocent.
The Imposter was sealed by Captain on June 6, 2012. Before their fight, Captain identified her imposter as a Devourer. An unkillable monster that has plagued this world for as long as magic existed. The form it most resembles is whatever blood it eats upon breaking through its seal. The sign of its arrival is Black Rain.
Case Closed June 6, 2012
Case: Beholder-- CLOSED
The original purpose of this case was to find about 20 missing people. Hoping to improve her investigative skills, Eunica took the case and found a relation between a nearby manor and the missing people. Chambers encountered shinigami Freya Caelum in the manor. Caelum was also investigating.
This case was also deemed a failure. In no part was the failure due to incompetance on Chambers or Caelum's part. All 20 missing people and one cultist were sacrificed to pull a Beholder from another Plain. Caelum sent the Beholder to where she thought it came from--Hell.
Case Closed July 25, 2012
Re-Opened August 16, 2012
Re-Investigation revealed a cult that worshiped the Beholder as their god was trying to re-summon it from Hell. However, Chambers prevented them from making the sacrifice. A fight ensued within the manor, but Chambers succeeded in saving the victims.
Chambers met up with Caelum and agreed to finish the job, in Hell. A demon, Denti, helped by giving them a good location.
Case Closed September 6, 2012
Operation Inferno
Visher Leonidas Wulfgar, the King of Life, and Caelum accompanied Chambers into Hell. Wulfgar was late, which lead to complications for Chambers and Caelum. Further complications arose when they found that the Beholder had been twisted by hell's environment and turned into a Death Tyrant.
For all intents and purposes, the details of the fight are classified.
Took Place: September 5, 2012
Case: Sigmund's Cult--CLOSED
Eunica learned the name of the leader of the Beholder Cult, during her reinvestigation. However, as of the aftermath of Operation Inferno, there has been no activity from the cult.
UPDATE: With knowledge from The Vigil, Eunica learned that Beholder Cults are usually disbanded when the Beholder they worship dies.
Case Closed on November 5, 2012
Massachusetts Case
The investigation is classified--as are all Vigil Cases. Chambers requested to be taken off the case, after needing to be rescued.
Participated from: 12/18/2012-1/4/2013
Central Files--CLOSED
Eunica has been sent back to Central to do a follow-up investigation into why Captain went rogue and why IMP was so inept to stop him, before he could do damage and her sister's relationship with him, aside from the body at the time belonging to her brother.
Eunica learned more of her sister's involvement, but due to her termination of employment, she is no longer obligated to continue with the case.
Case Closed: June 4, 2013
Black Rain II--CLOSED
In the near future, the Devourer that Captain sealed away will break free once more. With the cooperation of Deathsayers Inc., the Vigil is working towards avoiding a supernatural disaster that would be impossible to cover up.
After months of preparation, Eunica, the Vigil, and the Deathsayers successfully averted a crisis with the Devourer. Eunica, however, is now on Central's "Most Wanted" list along with Russell Peters. The papers have been calling them "Emissaries of the Blood God," due to their method of causing a distraction for the ASPD.
Case Closed: June 16, 2013

New year is just around and we already have plenty of technologies that entertained us, educated us and helped us to step forward smartly into 2017. We read about 3 of the technologies that made 2016 a year from the innovative era in the previous article. Let's talk about the other technologies that are pacing far and fast.
A computer program that has been enabled to chat using AI and natural language interface defines a chatbot. A bot is nothing but AI based chat option. With the growing curiosity as to what a chatbot can do, well, let me tell you, it can nearly answer all your queries (don't ask a chatbot how to cook something, you might end up with your kitchen on fire). Chatbots are a very viable solution to your traditional customer care process. Instead of making your customer call your company and wait for the representative to respond their query why not implement chatbot with app development instead?
- Messenger is getting popular – Facebook messenger has achieved over 1 Billion active users. A substantial amount of audience is moving towards messenger. A company will not think twice to implement a messenger chatbot for customer service.
- User engagement is a key for better reviews – A company would never like to read a negative feedback from its customers. User engagement is an essential element to alleviate the downfall. A chatbot's ability to respond in real-time however, enhances the user experience leaving no space for a red mark on a company's marksheet.
- Cable News Network, popularly known as CNN has its very own messenger chatbot to spread the news.
Mobile OS
iOS 10
"All the things you love to do are more expressive, more dynamic and more fun than ever with iOS 10" – framed by Apple Inc. iOS 10 has been the source of joy for iPhone users and developers. It not only enhances its built-in features but with the 'extensions' it allows the third party app to integrate as well. Extensions are small software programs that can modify and enhance the functionality of an app or a website – explained by Chrome. Let's find out how these extensions help.
- Maps Extension – With apps like OpenTable and Yelp, extensions can be directly switched on to leverage the functionality of Apple Maps for a restaurant mobile app. Along with the hospitality industry, third-party apps for booking a cab moreover, can be benefited.
- Message Extensions -With enhancement in the iMessage app, you can enable non-native mobile app's features into your messages. Moreover, messaging is made more interactive by sharing pictures with emoticons and comments.

Android Nougat 7.0
Android Nougat brought multitasking to a new level for android phone users. you can switch between apps or better, run two apps side-by-side. On a smartphone, two mobile apps can run side-by-side or one-above-the-other in a split-screen mode. On TV, android apps can use picture-in-picture mode to continue video playback while users are interacting with another app. However, mobile apps like Instagram and Snapchat won't work in multi-screen mode.
Live Streaming
With numerous social media apps overflowing the pool, there always is a need for an upgrade in the features to survive the competition. A feature called 'live streaming' is now a must have feature for most of the social media apps and websites.Gravitating with this new feature are our very famous social media apps like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. WhatsApp is in talks to leverage the same in the near future.
General Motors was the first automotive brand to stream live video of the launch of Chevy Volt EV on Facebook. Also. the energy giant G.E., also leverages this feature to live stream videos showcasing the science behind their innovative products.
A business can utilize this feature to ask their customer for live feedback or recommendation. A brand can also run live campaigns for the launch of their new products, services of offerings like General Motors.

ST. PETERSBURG — Dixie Hollins continued its dominance of the St. Petersburg City Tournament Saturday, winning its sixth consecutive team title by placing 12 wrestlers in the finals, where five emerged as champions.
"This was a good confidence booster for our guys," Rebels coach Nick Spataro said after his team easily outpointed Northeast 245-187. "They get to bring home trophies and medals; it gets us ready to roll for the end of the season when it really counts."
Rebels junior Andre Matthews (285 pounds) was named most outstanding wrestler for the heavyweights, while Vikings senior Joshua Deese (152) took the honor for the middle and lightweights. Both pinned all of their opponents.
Senior Adam Lovell (145) helped to seal the victory for Dixie Hollins. He won a tight final against Northside Christian freshman Clifton Thomas when Lovell scored a takedown with 10 seconds left to win 9-7.
David Schultz (113), Thomas Esker (120), Luis Aldana (170) were the three other Dixie Hollins individual champions.
Northeast edged St. Petersburg for second place, 187-151.5. The Vikings got a lift from Danny Guiterrez (126) pinning Vincent Clanzy of Dixie Hollins in the first round of their final. Vikings senior Stephen Doyle (182) edged Dixie Hollins' Artez Small 8-6.
Boca Ciega's Jacob Mohr breezed through at 138 pounds and pinned Dixie Hollins' Andrew Boylson in the final.
Junior Ezekiel Villalba (132) was Lakewood's lone champion.
St. Petersburg senior Thomas Moser (22-0) continued his dominance at 160 pounds, repeating as city champion and pinning all three of his opponents.
Moser's senior teammate, Brandon Mayhone (220), kept his unblemished record (22-0) intact by pinning Admiral Farragut sophomore Jarvar Nader in the first round.
Northside senior Alex Kruklinski (195) dispatched all three of his opponents by pins and all in the first round. Kruklinski improved to 21-1 on the year.
Flagler Invite: Countryside's Matt Collora scored a 12-0 major decision to beat Winter Springs' Brandon Staley for the 106-pound championship at the Flagler County Rotary Invitational. The Cougars' Jake Laursen was sixth at 182 pounds.

Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at prosaic.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
I'm a bit stunned to see this myself because I spent the good part of the evening last night reading his incredible essay in this book called Beyond the Prosaic.
Prosaic businesses like this just don't survive anymore.
Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Prosaic:
Prosaic sayings, prosaic doings, but those three prosaic words meant as much, and a good deal more to them, than the most exquisite poetical outburst, written or uttered, since the world began, might mean to us.
_Prosaic_ means _pertaining to prose_; especially to that which lacks animation or interest.
Orthography As Outlined in the State Course of Study for Illinois
Prosaic as these journeys may seem, they are nevertheless the inspiration of my hopes, the feeders of my visions.
Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science, Vol. XVI., December, 1880.
Prosaic though it may appear, the fact remains that the strain and anguish of parting, even from those we love best on earth, can be mitigated by such material things as food and drink.
As I have said, for themselves they did not care -- what mattered a little extra discomfort in lives long since devoted to the Prosaic?
Prosaic and workaday to-morrows confronted him in endless and dreary perspective; and he felt again upon his shoulder the bony hand of his familiar, Care ....
But it is startling indeed how suddenly sometimes the earth takes on a new wonderfulness, and Saint Prosaic a new halo.

In this bypass of the District II Court of Appeals (headquartered in Waukesha), the Supreme Court reviews a decision by Walworth County Circuit Court, Judge James L. Carlson, presiding. A party may ask the Supreme Court to take jurisdiction of an appeal or other pending Court of Appeals' proceeding by filing a petition to bypass pursuant to sec. (Rule) 809.60, Stats. A matter appropriate for bypass usually meets one or more of the criteria for review, sec. (Rule) 809.62(1), Stats., and one the Court feels it will ultimately choose to consider regardless of how the Court of Appeals might decide the issues.
2012AP805/840 Waller v. American Transmission Co.
This bypass involves two prior Court of Appeals' decisions and three circuit court decisions arising from a dispute over the condemnation of property for the location of an electrical transmission line project in Walworth County. The Supreme Court examines Wis. Stat. § 32.06(3m), the uneconomic remnant statute.
Some background: Under section 32.06(3m), "uneconomic remnant" means the property remaining after a partial taking of property, if the property remaining is of such size, shape or condition as to be of little value or of substantially impaired economic viability. If acquisition of only part of a property would leave its owner with an uneconomic remnant, the condemnor shall offer to acquire the remnant concurrently and may acquire it by purchase or by condemnation if the owner consents.
Scott N. Waller and Lynnea S. Waller owned property along the path of a power transmission line that was being upgraded near the crossing of Interstate 43 over Mound Road just outside Delavan. The transmission line project began with administrative proceedings before the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), both of which must review and approve all aspects of certain high-voltage projects.
The PSC considered the safety and public health implications of the proposed transmission line, including its distance from houses and other buildings and the associated electromagnetic fields at various distances from the line. Scott Waller testified before the PSC about his concerns that the proposed line would be too close to his house, might create a health hazard, and could impair his property value.
The PSC issued a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN). The PSC found that the transmission line would promote the reliability of the electrical grid and would not have an undue adverse impact on public health and welfare.
American Transmission Co. (ATC) then set out to acquire the real estate interest needed to proceed with the line, including an easement along Wallers property. When negotiations to purchase the easement and the whole property failed, ATC made a jurisdictional offer of $99,500 on March 20, 2008, to acquire a 45-foot wide easement along two sides of the Wallers' 1.5-acre property. The Wallers rejected the offer.
Three lawsuits resulted from ATC's jurisdictional offer:
· A right-to-take action (Case No. 08-CV-520—the "right-to-take case") under Wis. Stat. § 32.06(5), asserting the taking would leave an uneconomic remnant;
· An action commenced by ATC to determine just compensation under Wis. Stat. § 32.06(7) (Case No. 08-CV-955 – the "valuation case"); and
· A relocation benefits case under Wis. Stat. § 32.20 (Case No. 10-CV-69 – the "relocation case"), claiming that ATC's taking of the easement forced the Wallers to move and required compensation.
The bypass petition filed by ATC arises out of final judgments and orders entered in the right-to-take case and the relocation case. The appeals also implicate the valuation case, though neither party appealed the jury verdict in Walworth County Circuit Court Case No. 08-CV-955, assigning $38,000 in value to the property after the taking of the easement.
The petition raises the following issues:
1. How must a landowner raise a claim that a condemnor has taken too little property, leaving the landowner with an uneconomic remnant: In a valuation proceeding, in an inverse condemnation action, or in a right-to-take action?
2. Did the circuit court properly interpret and apply the uneconomic remnant statute, Wis. Stat. § 32.06(3m)?
3. May a landowner recover litigation expenses for obtaining a judicial ruling that the property that remains after a taking in an uneconomic remnant?
4. Is a landowner who voluntarily moves from a property because of personal preferences nonetheless "displaced," entitling the landowner to relocation benefits under Wis. Stat. § 32.19?
10:45 a.m.
This is a review of a decision of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District I (headquartered in Milwaukee), which affirmed a Milwaukee County Circuit Court decision, Judge Patricia D. McMahon, presiding.
2010AP2363/2364-CR State v. Deadwiller
The issue raised in this sexual assault case is whether the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in Williams v. Illinois, 567 U.S.___, 132 S. Ct. 2221 (2012) is binding upon Wisconsin courts. The Supreme Court is asked to review whether the Court of Appeals erred in affirming two convictions against Richard Deadwiller for second-degree sexual assault with the use of force.
Some background: Deadwiller was charged with forcibly assaulting two women, both of whom testified at trial that the he had raped them. Deadwiller testified at trial that he had consensual sex with the women. He did not dispute that semen recovered from both women's bodies was his.
A jury found Deadwiller guilty of both sexual assaults. He was sentenced to consecutive terms of 15 years of initial confinement and five years of extended supervision. Deadwiller appealed, arguing that he may not have testified had the trial court not allowed a state crime lab technician to rely on DNA analysis and reports by Orchid Cellmark, a company that runs a DNA testing lab in Texas. Deadwiller argued reliance on Orchid Cellmark's DNA reports violated his constitutional right to confrontation.
A state Crime Lab analyst testified at trial that Orchid Cellmark analyzed semen samples taken from the two victims and produced DNA profile reports. The Orchid Cellmark profiles matched Deadwiller's profile stored in a DNA databank. This initial match prompted the state Crime Lab to obtain a fresh DNA sample from Deadwiller. The state Crime Lab analyst testified that he compared the fresh sample to the semen DNA taken from the victims and in his opinion Deadwiller was the source of the semen found in both victims.
The Court of Appeals held Deadwiller's appeal in abeyance pending the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Williams. The Court of Appeals noted that Williams determined that reports like the one issued by Orchid Cellmark are not testimonial and may be relied on by a testifying expert without violating a defendant's right to confrontation, even though the person who prepared the report does not testify at trial. Consequently, the Court of Appeals affirmed.
The Court of Appeals said the confrontation right applies to statements that are "testimonial." See Davis v. Washington, 547 U.S. 813, 821 (2006); Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 68–69 (2004).
Deadwiller argued that Orchid Cellmark's report was testimonial and that the trial court should not have allowed the state Crime Lab technician to rely on it in giving his opinion that the defendant was the source of the DNA taken from the women.
The Court of Appeals said the conclusion that the outside laboratory's report was not testimonial governed this appeal, and there was no need to analyze whether the outside laboratory's report was or was not relied on for its truth or whether the Williams court's analysis might have been different if the trial had been to a jury rather than to a judge.
Deadwiller argues that Orchid Cellmark's DNA profile results were clearly testimonial because the state needed those results in order to prove or establish the identity of the perpetrator. He argues the Court of Appeals erred in finding Williams controlling.
He argues that this case is materially different because Williams dealt with the applicability of an Illinois state rule of evidence; Illinois did not request substantive admissibility of the Texas lab results and material; and the Williams court deemed it important that the trial was to a judge rather than a jury because a judge is less likely to be confused as to legal matters.
The state says the Court of Appeals correctly decided that the narrow holding in Williams – that the outside laboratory DNA profile is not "testimonial" – is binding on Wisconsin courts and, as a result, that the defendant's confrontation clause rights were not violated.
1:30 p.m.
This is a certification from the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District II (headquartered in Waukesha). The Court of Appeals may certify cases that it believes cannot be resolved by applying current Wisconsin law. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the state's preeminent law-developing court, often accepts such certifications from the Court of Appeals. This case originated in Sheboygan County Circuit Court, Judge Terence T. Bourke, presiding.
2011AP2916-CR State v. Edler
This certification from the District II Court of Appeals examines an arson suspect's right to counsel and whether Wisconsin law affords a different level of protection under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966) warnings than has developed under federal case law.
More specifically, the Court of Appeals asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court:
1) Should Wisconsin follow Maryland v. Shatzer, ___ U.S. ___, 130 S. Ct. 1213 (2010), which held that the Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477 (1981) prohibition against seeking a waiver of the Miranda warnings and reinitiating police interrogation no longer applies when there has been a 14-day break in custody, or does the Wisconsin Constitution provide a greater level of protection to individuals suspected of committing a crime?
2) When the defendant asked, in the squad car on the way to the second interrogation, "Can my attorney be present for this?", did he unambiguously invoke his right to counsel?
3) If the statement set forth in the second issue is declared to be ambiguous, does it make a difference whether the ambiguous statement was made before or after Miranda warnings were given?
Some background: In early 2011, the defendant, Andrew Edler, was 17 years old and one of the newest firefighters in the Waldo Fire Department. In January and March 2011, two small arson fires occurred in the area, and Edler fell under suspicion because he arrived so quickly at the scene of those two fires. On March 30, while interrogating Edler about an unrelated burglary case, Detective Gerald Urban began asking Edler about the arsons and his possible involvement. Shortly after the subject of the arsons came up, Edler said, "From this point on, I'd like a lawyer here."
Urban immediately ceased questioning. Edler was booked and jailed pending appearance on criminal charges in the burglary case. Soon after his initial appearance in that case on April 1, 2011, Edler was released on bond, and a public defender was appointed as his lawyer on April 4, 2011.
Later in April, an acquaintance of Edler agreed to Urban's request to secretly record a conversation with Edler about the arsons. That conversation was recorded on April 18, 2011. On April 20, Edler was arrested on the arson charges at his family home. Edler's father asked what Edler was being accused of, and Urban told him about the arson charges, emphasizing that Edler's cooperation in the investigation was important.
As Edler sat in the squad car, Edler's father admonished him to cooperate with the investigators and tell the truth. On the ride to the station, Urban sat beside Edler in the back seat of the squad and advised him continually that he should take his father's advice, cooperate, tell the truth, and help himself out. At some point during the ride, Edler asked Urban, "can my attorney be present for this?" and Urban answered, "yes he can."
Upon arrival at the sheriff's department, Edler was placed in an interview room to wait for questioning. He was crying and having some difficulty breathing as Urban entered and began telling him about the strong case the sheriff's department had developed against him. Urban emphasized that the evidence already was sufficient for convictions.
Urban then began to read Edler the Miranda warnings. When he read, "you have the right to consult with a lawyer before questioning and to have a lawyer present with you during questioning," Edler asked "…if I request a lawyer does that mean you still have to bring me into custody and I have to go sit in the jail?" Urban explained that the presence of a lawyer would have no effect on the fact that Edler was now in custody. Urban then reread all of the Miranda rights from the beginning. At the end, when Urban asked, "realizing that you have these rights, are you now willing to answer questions?" Edler answered affirmatively. In the subsequent interrogation, Edler admitted involvement in the arsons.
Edler moved for suppression of the admissions made during the April 20 interrogation at the sheriff's department, arguing that his Fifth Amendment right to counsel had been violated. The circuit court held that Edler's statement in the car ("Can my lawyer be present for this?") was an unequivocal invocation of his right to counsel and suppressed statements that Edler made thereafter.
The state appealed. It argued that because there had been more than a 14-day break in custody from Edler's initial request for counsel on March 30, the detective was free, pursuant to Shatzer, to approach Edler, read him his Miranda rights, and ask if he was now willing to talk with the detective about the arsons. The state further argued that Edler's utterance in the car on the way to the sheriff's department ("Can my lawyer be present for this?") was a question and not an unequivocal invocation of his right to counsel.
Edler argued in response that the interrogation on April 20 was barred by both his March 30 and April 20 requests for counsel. He claimed that Shatzer did not apply to the facts of his case and that, in any event, the Wisconsin Constitution should provide broader protections for accused individuals in line with Justice Stevens' dissent in Shatzer. He also argued that his statement in the squad car was a legally sufficient invocation of his right to counsel, such that the detective was obligated to cease any further interrogation in the absence of Edler's attorney.

This is a review of a decision of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District IV (headquartered in Madison), which dismissed an appeal of a Dane County Circuit Court decision, Judge C. William Foust, presiding.
2012AP500 Dane County v. Sheila W.
This case involves review of a circuit court order appointing a temporary guardian for a teenage minor to consent to certain medical treatment over the objections of the minor and the minor's parents. Because the temporary guardianship order expired while the case was pending before the Court of Appeals, that court dismissed the appeal as moot. The issues presented to the Supreme Court are as follows:
1) Does Wisconsin recognize the "mature minor doctrine," a common law rule providing that a minor may consent or refuse consent to medical treatment upon a showing of maturity, intelligence and sufficient understanding of the medical condition and treatment alternatives?
2) Does Wisconsin recognize a mature adolescent's due process right to refuse unwanted medical treatment?
3) Did the circuit court violate an adolescent's common law and constitutional right to refuse medical treatment when it appointed a temporary guardian to consent to treatment over the adolescent's objection?
4) Should the exceptions to the mootness doctrine be utilized to address the above issues despite the expiration of the temporary guardianship?
10:45 a.m.
This is a review of a decision of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District I (headquartered in Milwaukee), which reversed a Milwaukee County Circuit Court decision, Judge William S. Pocan, presiding.
2011AP1451 Tufail v. Midwest Hospitality
This case involves a question of contract interpretation. The Supreme Court reviews a Court of Appeals' decision regarding a lease dispute between a property owner and restaurant franchisee owner in Milwaukee.
Some background: Amjad T. Tufail operated a "New York Chicken" restaurant under a special use permit granted by the city of Milwaukee Board of Zoning Appeals in November 2000. Tufail was permitted to operate his business in compliance with a submitted plan of operation which included a drive-through and being open until 4 a.m., seven days a week. The special use was granted for 10 years.
In March 2008, Midwest Hospitality leased the restaurant building from Tufail for five years, beginning on April 1, 2008 to operate a Church's Chicken franchise. The lease required Midwest Hospitality to pay rent of $35,000 for the first year to be paid in equal monthly installments.
The lease included the following warranty: "Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that: (g) no existing restrictions, building and zoning ordinances, or other laws or requirements of any governmental authority prevent the use of the Premises for the purposes set forth in Paragraph 5."
Paragraph 5 reads as follows:
"Tenant may use and occupy the Premises for any lawful purposes, including, but not limited to, the retail sales, consumption, and delivery of food and beverages which shall include, but not be limited to, Chicken products, Fish products, bread products, salads, sandwiches, dessert items, promotional items, and any other items sold by any Church's Chicken store."
After Midwest Hospitality began occupying the premises, in May 2008 they learned that they had to obtain a special-use permit to operate the restaurant with a drive-through. The special-use permit was eventually granted with restrictions, including closing of the restaurant by 9 p.m.
Midwest Hospitality stopped paying rent, stating that it was not responsible for the lease payments because Tufail failed to inform it that a special-use permit would be required and that the lease was, as a result, terminated. The circuit court determined that Tufail had not breached the warranty.
The trial court found that the special use permit was required because of the drive-through request. The trial court focused on the drive-through as the reason requiring the special use permit and that the lease did not warrant an unrestricted ability to operate a drive-through. It did not address whether a special-use permit was required for any other reason.
The Court of Appeals reversed, concluding that the warranty was breached.
Midwest Hospitality argued to the Court of Appeals that its desire to have a drive-through has no bearing on whether a special-use permit was required or Tufail's representation that there were no zoning restrictions for use of the building as a Church's Chicken. It argues that the trial court ignored undisputed evidence that a free standing, fast-food restaurant was not permitted under the existing zoning regulation, regardless of a drive-through.
Tufail contends the Court of Appeals' decision is inconsistent with standard principles of contract interpretation because it "greatly expands the scope of the warranty beyond the language in the lease."
Tufail says that a special-use permit was only required to operate the property as a fast-food/carryout restaurant with a drive through, which was not the use specifically written into the lease. He contends Midwest Hospitality was free to operate a sit-down restaurant at the premises without a special-use permit.
Tufail says he was left without any Lease payments and was left with a property in a state of complete disrepair.
9:45 a.m.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is responsible for supervising the practice of law in the state and protecting the public from misconduct by lawyers. Lawyers must follow a code of ethics developed by the Court. When there is an allegation that a lawyer has acted unethically, the Supreme Court's Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) investigates, and, if warranted, prosecutes the attorney. A referee – a court-appointed attorney or reserve judge – hears the discipline cases and makes recommendations to the Supreme Court. The lawyer involved in this case has a practice in Vilas County.
2011AP2760-D Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR) v. Daniel W. Johns, Jr.
In this case, the Supreme Court reviews whether Atty. Daniel W. Johns, Jr. violated Supreme Court Rules of professional conduct for attorneys, and if so, the appropriate penalty.
A referee concluded that Johns did not violate SCR 20:8.4(b) when he was convicted on one felony count of homicide while driving with a prohibited blood-alcohol content, but that he did violate SCR 21.15(5) when he failed within five days to notify the clerk of the Supreme Court and the OLR in writing of his 2004 conviction.
The OLR appeals the referee's conclusion and recommendation for either a private or public reprimand. The OLR contends Johns violated SCR 20:8.4(b), which provides that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer to "commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects; . . ." The OLR contends Johns also failed to timely notify the OLR and clerk of Supreme Court in writing of his conviction.
Some background: Johns graduated from Marquette University Law School in 1999 and had no prior disciplinary history. The incident that led to his conviction occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on Dec. 28, 2002, when Johns was 29 years old. Johns had met with family members for dinner at a restaurant to celebrate the holidays. After dinner, Johns and his brother stayed at the restaurant bar with some friends until it closed. After leaving, Johns lost control of the truck he was driving and struck a tree. Johns' brother was partially ejected from the truck; his head hit the tree, causing fatal injuries.
A blood draw following the accident showed that Johns had a blood alcohol content of 0.257 percent. Johns was arrested and, after being read his Miranda warnings, declined to answer any questions and invoked his right to counsel.
On June 10, 2004, Johns pled guilty and was convicted on one felony count of homicide by use of a motor vehicle while driving with a prohibited blood-alcohol content. Before the court accepted Johns' plea, there was some confusion amongst the parties and the court as to whether a conviction on this count would result in an automatic revocation of Johns' law license. The trial court ordered a recess and directed the prosecutor, defense counsel, and Johns to phone the OLR and get an answer to this question. They did so in an off-the-record phone conversation.
Back on the record, Johns' lawyer stated that they had talked to the deputy director of the OLR, who advised that there is no provision in the ethics code that would call for an automatic revocation or suspension of Johns' law license based upon the conviction. Rather, any action by the OLR would be dependent upon the facts and circumstances of Johns' conduct.
The trial court sentenced Johns to 120 days in jail and five years of probation. Johns served his jail time and was released on probation. He was released early from probation – on May 17, 2007 – based on the recommendation of his probation agent and the trial court judge.
Johns began practicing law again and is currently a full-time solo practitioner in Vilas County. Johns also performs various community service work, including regularly speaking to juveniles at the Lincoln Hill Juvenile Correctional Facility about his personal history.
On Nov. 30, 2011, the OLR filed the underlying complaint. In response, Johns denied that his conduct resulting in his 2004 conviction reflected adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects so as to violate SCR 20:8.4(b). Johns also denied that he had committed misconduct under SCR 21.15(5); he admitted that he did not provide timely written notice of the felony conviction to the OLR and to the clerk of the Supreme Court, but explained that he and his lawyer spoke with the OLR on the date of the conviction regarding the possible impact of the conviction on his law license.
In the referee's report and recommendation to this court, the referee concluded that Johns did not violate SCR 20:8.4(b), but did violate SCR 21:15(5). The referee recommended that the court impose either a private or a public reprimand.
The OLR appeals to the Supreme Court, contending, among other things, that the referee's recommendation is inconsistent with Wisconsin and other states' case law on attorney discipline for vehicular homicide. The OLR also contends that the referee should not have admitted letters from juveniles at the Lincoln Hill Juvenile Correctional Facility as character references for Johns. OLR has asked for a 60-day suspension of Johns' license to practice law.
A decision by the Supreme Court also is expected determine who will pay costs of the prosecution.
10:45 a.m.
This is a review of a decision of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District III (headquartered in Wausau), which reversed a Outagamie County Circuit Court decision, John A. Des Jardins, presiding.
2011AP1566 United Concrete & Construction v. Red-D-Mix Concrete
This case examines who (judge as a matter of law or jury as a matter of fact) determines whether a representation made by a seller of a product is mere "puffery" or is legally sufficient to support a misrepresentation claim, including one brought under Wis. Stat. § 100.18. "Puffery" is defined as the expression of an exaggerated opinion, as opposed to a factual representation, regarding the quality of a good or service that cannot be proven true or false and is intended to sell the product or service.
Some background: Defendant Red-D-Mix is a maker and distributor of concrete. Plaintiff United Concrete & Construction, Inc. (United) is a concrete contractor that contracts with end-users for the installation of concrete "flatwork," such as patios and driveways. United had used Red-D-Mix as a supplier for several years, including 2002 and 2003. United says it then switched to another supplier after it experienced pitting, scaling and crumbling of the concrete it installed due to Red-D-Mix's concrete containing excessive amounts of "bleed water." Bleed water emerges from the concrete after it is poured and water is forced up as sand and aggregate settles downward.
After allegedly receiving assurances from a Red-D-Mix sales representative that the bleed-water problem had been resolved, United decided to resume purchasing concrete from Red-D-Mix for the 2007 season. United claims that it once again suffered from the same excessive bleed water problems.
Customers began to complain about the problems to United. Red-D-Mix claims that only a few customers actually complained and that United unilaterally decided to approach all of its customers even if they had not complained.
United advised its 2007 customers that the problems with their patios or driveways resulted from defective concrete supplied by Red-D-Mix and that United intended to pursue legal action against Red-D-Mix. United told its customers that it would attempt to obtain damages from Red-D-Mix and that it would allocate any money received among those individuals who had signed Assignment of Rights to Sue, which purported to assign the customers' rights against Red-D-Mix to United. A portion of United's customers signed and returned the assignment documents.
Red-D-Mix asserts that the assignment was, in reality, a release of claims against United, which means that United will not be liable for any damages related to fixing or replacing those customers' concrete work.
In 2008, United did file suit against Red-D-Mix and two of its insurers in Outagamie County Circuit Court. Its most recent complaint alleged claims for breach of contract, breach of express and implied warranties, negligence, indemnification, contribution, and violation of Wis. Stat. § 100.18. Red-D-Mix moved for summary judgment on all claims, which the circuit court granted.
The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for further proceedings. The Court of Appeals rejected the circuit court's conclusion that United's claim under Wis. Stat. § 100.18 was defective because, as a matter of law, all of the misrepresentations alleged in United's complaint were mere puffery. It held that the question of whether the alleged misrepresentations constituted puffery was a question of fact to be decided by the jury at trial, not a question of law to be decided by the court.
The Court of Appeals also ruled that United could proceed with its contract claims against Red-D-Mix, concluding that United had produced sufficient evidence of its damages and that the Assignments signed by United's customers did not strip United of its right to sue Red-D-Mix or protect it from the claims of its customers.
Red-D-Mix seeks Supreme Court review of the issue of whether the court or the jury should determine whether a defendant's alleged misrepresentations are mere puffery. It also asks the Supreme Court to review whether its decision in Linden v. Cascade Stone Co., 2005 WI 113, 283 Wis. 2d 606, 639 N.W.2d 189, precludes a contractor from attempting to obtain its customers' claims against a subcontractor through an assignment and from then suing the subcontractor on those customer claims.

|Oracle® Communications Service Broker System Administrator's Guide
Release 6.1
Part Number E29444-01
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This chapter describes how to configure IP addresses of Processing Servers and Signaling Servers to allow them to communicate with each other.
Using a technology called Oracle Coherence, Processing Servers and Signaling Servers distribute events across the domain boundaries.
To communicate with each other, servers need to be aware of each other's IP addresses. You can specify IP addresses of the servers using one of the following methods:
IP multicast. In this case, you need to specify a single IP address. All servers use this address to send and receive broadcast messages.
In addition to the multicast IP address, you can specify the maximum number of hops that an IP packet may traverse. This parameter is known as Time-To-Live (TTL).
Service Broker uses IP multicast as the only option when you run the domain creation script.
See "Setting Up IP Multicast" for more information.
IP unicast. In this case, you need to specify the IP address of each server in all domains.
See "Setting Up IP Unicast" for more information.
These two methods are mutually exclusive. You need to use one or the other in all your domains. The method that you should use depends on the configuration of your network, including topology, the number of servers, and possible restrictions imposed by your firewall or routers.
Because Service Broker uses IP multicast as the default option when you run the domain creation script, you need to specify IP multicast configuration parameters only when you want to modify the settings you defined during the domain creation process.
To set up IP multicast:
In the domain navigation pane, expand the OCSB node.
Expand the Domain Management node.
Select Coherence.
In the General tab, in the useWellKnownAddress list, select FALSE.
Click Apply.
Click the Multicast tab.
In the MultiCastAddress subtab, fill out the fields as follows:
In the address field, enter the multicast IP address. You can enter any value in the range from 220.127.116.11 to 22.214.171.124.
In the port field, enter the multicast port.
Click Apply.
Click the TTL subtab.
In the TTL field, specify the TTL. You can enter any value from 1 to 255.
Click Apply.
Stop all servers in all domains and then start them again. See "Starting and Stopping Processing and Signaling Servers" for more information.
To set up IP unicast:
In the domain navigation pane, expand the OCSB node.
Expand the Domain Management node.
Select Coherence.
In the General tab, in the useWellKnownAddress list, select TRUE.
Click Apply.
Click the Unicast tab.
In the ServerName subtab, click New.
In the New: /Unicast/ServerName window, in the ServerName field, enter a descriptive name of a Processing Server or Signaling Server. You use this name when specifying the IP address of the server.
Click Apply.
Click the ServerAddress subtab.
In the Parent list, select the server whose IP address you want to define. This list contains the servers that you previously defined in the ServerName subtab.
Click New.
In the New: /Unicast/ServerAddress window, fill out the fields as follows:
In the address field, enter the IP address of the server.
In the port address, enter the port of the server.
Click Apply.
Repeat this procedure for all Processing Servers and Signaling Servers.
Stop all servers in all domains and then start them again. See "Starting and Stopping Processing and Signaling Servers" for more information.
Service Broker detects a cluster node death condition if there is a sustained node failure, network outage, or connection failure. If a node death is detected, it is considered lost from the cluster and a redundant server will automatically failover with no service loss.
The mechanism for node death detection is based on two Coherence properties specified in Table 7-1.
Coherence considers both the timeout and the retries count to decide if a node is dead. Using the default configuration, Coherence declares a node dead if two consecutive heartbeat requests time out. If the timeout property is set to the default five seconds, after ten seconds a node is considered disconnected from the main cluster.
You can change the property values in Table 7-1 because a ten-second duration might not be appropriate as the default time interval to trigger server failover for some deployments.
Table 7-1 Cluster Node Death Detection Properties
|Property Name
|Coherence Option
|Service Broker default
5 (sec)
The following scenario will cause a managed server to automatically shut down:
A network failure causes the Coherence cluster to split up. While the cluster is split each part acts as an independent cluster.
The network problem is resolved and some node(s) can rejoin the main cluster. If the state of the separated nodes become inconsistent with the main cluster they will not be able to join.
To avoid the need to monitor the system and detect when the above situation has occurred, these actions take place: When a coherence cluster service restart occurs, the managed servers of the main cluster survive but the other managed server JVMs automatically shut down.
If the node is automatically shut down, you must restart the managed server unless you have some kind of process supervision implemented.
After network recovery, as managed servers start to rejoin the cluster, nodes rejoining the cluster as non-senior members will have their caches restarted (that data is lost).
The following scenario enables ongoing calls and the data cache to be maintained:
You have deployed a processing domain and a signalling domain on machine_1 and another processing domain and a signalling domain on machine_2. If a network connection problem occurs that causes the machines to be split into two clusters, they continue to handle traffic. Coherence keeps the backup copy of a cache entry on each machine. New sessions are handled successfully, and ongoing calls are processed successfully.
To return the cluster to a "normal state", one of the two sides must be restarted. If possible you should configure the associated load balancers to route new sessions to the side that will not be restarted. Then shut down that side shortly before restoring the network (if time of restoration is known).
When the network outage has been restored, start the managed servers that were shut down. During the network outage, the two sides can continue to run. If you know when the network will be restored, one of the sides should be shut down shortly before restoring the network.

Ironman from NY to Ride Bicycle 900 Miles to Raise $ for Child in Need
- Jareen, CNN iReport producer
On June 26 my husband, 8 time Ironman Dave Nazaroff, will head out of Nyack, NY on a solo bicycle journey to the suburbs of Atlanta, GA. The ride is over 900 miles long and he intends to log nearly 200 miles a day for 5-6 days to deliver a check to the family of a very special 2 year-old boy he has never met named Tripp. We have named this the Toga Multisport Club "Ride to Give," and here is the story:
Thirteen weeks ago a friend forwarded me the link to a blog kept by the mother of a boy in Atlanta named Tripp Halstead. Tripp was critically injured October 29 while playing outside at daycare. His skull was shattered by a large heavy falling tree branch and he sustained a traumatic brain injury. Over the past 5 months he has been in and out of surgery (13 times), battled bacteria, flu, meningitis and gall stones. But even though he spent 5 months in the hospital, he is a fighter. He keeps battling back. And his parents Stacy and Bill are amazing.
I was so moved by Stacy's blog. It was done as Facebook postings every night and every day. She spoke so openly about Tripp's condition, her emotions, and her need for prayers and well wishes...she asked for nothing more. There was humor, memories of Tripp before, and hope for what's to come. Her blog now has over 650,000 followers getting daily updates on his condition. Tripp is their only child.
When I looked at Tripp's picture I could not believe his resemblance to our 2 year old son George. Same age...blond hair, blue eyes, joyful grin. I couldn't shake the thought, "What if this was George? What if this happened to us?" They are an active, fun family just like we are. I found myself checking my phone many times a day to see how Tripp was doing. There have been so many gains and set backs. But he is young and resilient and there is hope for him to recover. But they are not sure how much. Since the accident he has been unable to walk, talk, eat solid food, or smile.
I felt compelled to help in some way. I thought of a ride Dave took with firefighters after 9/11 and felt the lightbulb go off. If Dave could do 8 Ironman competitions in 4 years, why not ride from NY to Atlanta? I asked...and he was all for it. The Toga Multisport Ride to Give was born.
Our goal is to raise money so Tripp's mom Stacy can continue to stay by his side constantly during his long recovery.
We created a Facebook page and already have 15,000 "likes" and have raised nearly $94,000 in 12 weeks of fundraising. There you can buy a Team Boom/Ride to Give T-shirt and follow our progress of the Ride to Give when we take off for Georgia on the 26th.
But this story has become about so much more than one family's struggle. It's about something that has the power to unite more than half a million people, to pray, hope and GIVE. If this isn't an example of the POSITIVE power of Social Media and strangers helping strangers...I don't know what is.

One thing I love about Chicago is its growing number of vegan-friendly restaurants. Many normally offer plant-based dishes but you have to ask questions before you know what is "safe" (i.e. are the beans cooked in lard, are the vegetables cooked in butter). El Nuevo Mexicano, however, clearly marks vegan items on their menu. This family-owned restaurant is proud of the fact that they cater to people with differing diets. While not a 100% vegan establishment, El Nuevo Mexicano is taking strong steps in the right direction and I am happy to support them. Offering both Daiya vegan cheese and Chicago's own Upton's Naturals seitan, this restaurant is progressive and supports local business.
My friends and I began our meal with chips, guacamole and salsa. What meal at a Mexican restaurant is complete without these appetizers? Now I'm no expert on Hispanic cuisine, but I do know what I like. I felt the guacamole was a little heavy on the lime but other than that it was good (perhaps I'm biased because of my guacamole). I could tell it was freshly-made which is always appreciated. The salsa also had a nice, fresh flavor with just enough kick. I can't handle a lot of spice (I know, I'm a wuss) so I really enjoyed it.
For my entree, I chose the Fajitas de Proteina Vegano (Vegan protein fajitas). They consisted of vegan chicken strips, green and red bell peppers, garlic, onion and tomato, and were served with both corn and flour tortillas. It's nice to have a choice between the two tortilla types if you're not big on white flour. Though I was hoping for a little more flavor, I enjoyed the fajitas, especially because they weren't spicy! The menu mentioned, however, that the fajitas would be served with pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and quinoa, but instead they came with beans, rice and guacamole. Perhaps El Nuevo didn't have vegan sour cream? I'm not sure why I didn't receive pico de gallo or quinoa though. Regardless, I enjoyed what I received, and the rice was especially tasty as it was prepared with carrots and peas and just enough salt to make it pleasing to the palate.
My friends had the Enchiladas de Chorizo, Papa y Zanahoria en Salsa Tomatillo (Enchiladas with vegan chorizo, potato and carrots) and Flautas de Verduras con Papa y Chorizo Vegano (Flautas with potato and vegan chorizo). Both were enjoyed and had no lack of spice. If you are one who likes a bit of kick to your food, you will definitely find it at El Nuevo. Having had the Flautas on a previous visit, I know by experience as my tongue was on fire! El Nuevo Mexicano is clearly creative with their dishes, as they provide food that you wouldn't find on your typical Mexican restaurant's menu (i.e. plantains and sweet potatoes).
Too full to indulge in dessert, we settled on just dinner and drinks. To wash it all down we enjoyed some sangria. Any red sangria I've previously had has been heavy on the dry wine flavor with just an accent of fruitiness. This sangria, however, was lightly sweet with just enough alcohol to do the job. I found it rather refreshing and it didn't take long for the sangria to disappear! Garnished with fresh orange slices, this sangria gets a thumbs up from me!
I recommend El Nuevo Mexicano to anyone who wants to try fresh, eclectic Mexican fare. Whether you are anti- or pro-spicy, El Nuevo is sure to have options that you will enjoy. Not to mention the waitstaff are very friendly and accommodating.
NOTE: Vegan Food Addict is in no way affiliated with El Nuevo Mexicano. The views and opinions expressed herein are strictly my own and do not necessarily reflect that of others.

Summer is Pride season. And every Pride season, people ask what the point of Pride is. Why do LGBTQ people need Pride events? What is accomplished by Pride? And will Pride always be needed?
Often these questions are asked by someone who then adds, "I don't mind LGBTQ people; I just don't see why they have to be out and proud about it." And although this in itself demonstrates the need for Pride, the questions are worth discussing nonetheless.
Why is Pride important and beneficial? Well, every day is a Pride day for straight people and cisgendered people and others who are part of the norm in terms of sexuality and gender. Every day, those people can confidently go about their lives, being who they are at work and in their families, marrying those they love, expecting and receiving equal rights. For many LGBTQ people, however, that's simply not the case.
Due to homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, LGBTQ people do not enjoy full acceptance and equal rights in the UK (or, indeed, in most countries in the world). Pride is thus an opportunity to be openly out, to celebrate human sexuality and gender in all its diversity, and to come together to fight for equal rights.
Pride is a day when a male-male couple or female-female couple who would ordinarily be frightened of holding hands when walking down the street can actually touch one another and show their affection in public. Perhaps doing so at Pride will inspire them to do so in the future as well.
Pride is a day when children raised by LGBTQ parents can meet others like them and can be reminded that it's not actually such a unique or unusual position to be in and that their family goes through many of the same trials and has the same joys and the same love as any straight family.
Pride is a day when transgender people can dress or act or present however they like without having to fear mockery or humiliation.
Pride is a day when bisexuals, asexuals, genderqueers, sadists, masochists, masters, slaves, and other queer types can feel accepted without having to explain or defend who they are and what their preferences are.
Pride is a day when LGBTQ folks discuss what still needs to be done in the campaign for equality and when they can begin talking about plans to make that happen.
It's just a shame that Pride is only a day a year. But the ramifications of Pride events stretch throughout the year. We make new friends and allies at Pride, we form committees, and we get fresh ideas for how to approach the problems facing our specific communities and society as a whole. So Pride has both short-term and long-term benefits.
I hope there will be a day when Pride events are no longer needed. I think this is far in the future, but I believe that there will eventually come a time when we don't have to define ourselves or others based on gender and sexuality (and I hope we wouldn't use race, religion, appearance, ability, etc either anymore). In this utopian time, we will all have equal rights, and we will all feel accepted and appreciated by society. But that time has not yet come.
So that's why on Saturday (28 July), you'll find me at Norwich Pride. I'll be giving a talk on tackling homophobia in schools by using literature and I'll be marching in the parade with my partner and our friends and I'll be admiring the performances, checking out the displays, and making new connections. I'll be doing all that because society still has very far to go in terms of equality. We therefore need Pride and I'll be proud to participate in it.
So straight allies and friends, swallow your own pride and come show your support for the LGBTQ community by attending Pride events. And LGBTQ friends, show some pride in yourselves and come to Pride. It's one step towards making a more accepting world.

Amazing mod, one of the best I've ever played!
One of the VERY best mods for Warband!
Okay, after playing for a couple of hours, I must say, I am impressed. Really impressed. The long version:
This is one of the best "1st version" mods I have ever seen. I haven't explored the troop trees in huge detail, but from what I've seen they seem to be in balance. Great costumes, great graphics, an absolutely FANTASTIC User interface, clean and crisp. The dialogues are very well done, they add a lot of flavour and the new NPCs I have run into, seem very interesting and fitting to the setting. The loading time is very good and there seems to be little to no lag, even in a medium PC rig I have tried it. In a good rig, with full graphics, it's just awesome. The factions are well thought and the map is gorgeous, many settlements and as far as I can see in the correct locations. I especially like the "Europa" and "Africa" labels in the map, in those two respective areas. That's great and when zooming out, it seems like a real map, very nice idea putting those in there.
My only small gripe is the lack of weapons. It's a minor thing, really, since the existing once are very good as medieval weapons of the time, but I would really like some historical weapons, from the great deal of OSPs that exist. But that's a rather personal preference, so no really a 'fault' of the mod.
tl;dr: The mod is excellent and I imagine that it will be close to perfection in next versions. Please, do yourselves a favor and play it.
Well, simply put, the mod is very well done. It's in ealy stage, I know, but you get have a damn good time and also have some nostalgia feelings, viewd from a more action-oriented side. I really can't wait for more.
This mod is more user friendly. Very nice and new items, good use of graphics and resources and good performance too. More original, if you will. Taken from my review. :)
Although not a great fan of the setting(more of a Lord of the Rings fan), I can play for hourse, even in these early stages.
One of the best mods for Warband.The theme is unique, the graphics are nice and the warfare gameplay is absolutely amazing. One thing I may find not to my taste is the many and full colours, but that is a bit of a personal opinion and it does not affect this great mod.
An amazing mod, I highly recommend it for anyone like me, that finds WWII without the Soviets boring.For me, all was well done, presented in a perfect way and I do think it resembles an official DLC. Yes, more things can be added/altered, but this is a mod and always there is room for improvement in mods.
An amazing mod, even in the early stages. I enjoyed every minute. Sure, there's a lot to be done, but Quintillus will deliver again, as he did with Europe 1805. Rock on, man!
Very novel ideas, well thought. I give it a 10/10, because even though it is largely in development, with things to be done(and that's why it is in 0.2 version;)) this mod is shaping up to be one of the best around. I expect great things and something tells me fladin will deliver. Keep rocking!
It rocks.

Antony and Cleopatra
Parker, R. B., Yearbook of English Studies
Antony and Cleopatra. Ed. by Richard Madelaine. (Shakespeare in Production) Cambridge, New York, and Melbourne: Cambridge University Press. 1998. xvi +358 pp. 45 [pounds sterling]; $59.95 (paperbound 15.95 [pounds sterling]; $22.95).
After a generation of hard work the performance dimension of Shakespeare's plays is now recognized as of equal importance to the more conventional traditions of semantic and literary interpretation, but there is still no consensus about the best way to present such material. One of the most thorough formats devised so far is that of Cambridge's `Shakespeare in Production' series, which combines a long introductory overview with commentary notes focusing on staging possibilities in detail.
The latter is keyed to the New Cambridge editions of the text, but this immediately raises two problems. Since the edition has not been influenced by the theatrical commentary and only a relatively small proportion of it needs annotation, the duplication of text is expensive (the books cost $60.00). Moreover, theatrical analysis is now quite separate from literary interpretation, instead of being complementary, so to study the play properly one needs to use both books. And there is also a problem of overlap between notes and introduction. One of the major tensions in all stage history is between a wish to record the whole sequence of performance as it mirrors the cultural preoccupations of different periods--what we may call an `historical' bias--and the desire to focus particularly on those aspects that feed back directly to Shakespeare's text--what we may call a `literary' (or textual) bias. The Cambridge format could manage both these purposes if the `historical' emphasis were restricted to the introduction, with the commentary limited exclusively to the `literary'; but unfortunately no such clear distinction is maintained, so not only are there many duplications of material but, more seriously, there is a blurring of focus that makes the overwhelming mass of detail difficult to absorb.
Despite these problems, Richard Madelaine's study of Antony and Cleopatra is admirably thorough and informative, covering some seventy-three productions in English from Britain, America, Canada, and Australia, plus key non-English-speaking productions by Simonov (Moscow), Sjoberg (Stockholm), Stein (Salzburg), Senda Koreya (Tokyo), and Zadek (Vienna and Berlin). After discussing the play's Jacobean production (rather too speculatively for my taste), the introduction suggests reasons why Shakespeare's play was supplanted in the Restoration, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by Dryden's All For Love, either wholesale or amalgamated with sections of the original in what Byron dismissed wittily as a `salad'. The loose narrative of Shakespeare's play fell short of neoclassical principles of unity and created difficulties for stagings which dropped a curtain between scenes; its exotic locations were costly to present in the elaborately `pictorial' style then favoured; and the protagonists offended current ideals of male heroism and (particularly) female propriety. …
