Just a quick update on how things are doing in the world of Chipkey Creations.
I put an update on the Chipkey Creations Facebook page (link here) but not here. A selection of crocheted catci are now available at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. It's a great gallery and community space. I'm very excited to be in their gift shop with a bunch of other cool artists from Durham region. You can check out the gallery's site here.
I have also been pretty busy applying to some shows for August and September. I am still waiting to hear back for some. I've heard back from one and I am excited to announce I will be a vendor at Uxbridge Art in the Park on the weekend of August 19-20th 2017! I've been to this event a few times as a guest and it's a really good show and I'm over the moon about being a vendor this year.
You can get more details about the Uxbridge Art in the Park by checking out the events tab or go on the web site (the event is way nicer than the website leads you to believe, trust me). I hope to see you there.
I will keep you posted on other events that I will be attending them. I have a lot of prepping to do to build up stock for these events. Would a blog-post series on how I'm getting myself organized be interesting? Let me know.
If you want to stay up to date on everything, you can following me on Facebook or Instagram. As well you can sign up to get e-mail (It won't fill up your inbox I swear) to get updates.
All the best,
Zoe, Head Boss Person of Chipkey Creations

Recover Windows 7 from a recovered drive
Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can answer this question for me. I've done various searches but I can't find my answer...
About a month ago my hard-drive crashed which contained my windows 7 OS as well as all of my other files. The heads would no longer move so I could not read any of the data off the drive. I sent the drive in for recovery services and managed to get back all of my data except for 2 files that are not windows 7 related. They put the data on a new hard drive for me.
My question... Can I somehow recover my windows 7 OS and start booting from this new drive? I am actually not in possession of the new drive yet, I should be receiving it today.
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums...
Recovered files copied from a damaged HDD will be copied to a new hard disk without any boot information. To boot windows you need an active partition and boot information and boot files to boot in to the windows.
The only way you can start the windows is to recover the serial number from your COA, take a backup of all the recovered files either on DVDs or another external HDD, keep the HDD inside the system and reinstall the same version of windows from a DVD. You can get the image file (.iso) from Digital River website. Download the required image, burn it to DVD and reinstall Windows 7 with the help from one of the tutorial.

You will find similar tutorials on this website's Tutorial section.
If you have the recovery DVDs for your system, you can recover windows on a blank HDD. This will reinstall windows quickly and also activate automatically.
The applications from the old HDD will not work on this new disk. You need to get setup / install files of all your programs to reinstall.
Only the data files, like .doc, .xls,.txt, .ppt, .pdf, pictures and music files etc. can be directly used on the new HDD.

Terry -
How would we know if this is retail or OEM? Did you make your Recovery disks or save a Win7 backup image you can boot to reinstall on the new HD?
If not everything you need is here to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
However first make sure whether they reinstalled the OS to the new HD. If not and they placed your data in the root of the new HD you'd need to first slave it to another machine to copy out the data.
Or you can boot free Partition Wizard bootable CD to shrink the partition they made from the left to install Win7 onto another primary NTFS partition you create in the shrink space. Partition Wizard Move/Resize Partition Video Help.
Note that the PW Home version or any other partition manager installed version or boot disk can fail losing data - only PW boot disk or Disk Mgmt will not fail.

To answer gregrocker's question. This is an OEM installation. I have an MSDN subscription and so I do have access to the serial number. But upon reading the Clean Reinstall guide (thank you for the link), it appears that this solution is not that much different than a complete new installation on a new hard-drive, then copying the files that I need from my recovered drive.
Is there something I'm missing?

My Love for the Star Wars Saga UPDATED
Ever since I was 3 years old, I've been a devoted fan of the Star Wars Saga. And it's especially great to be one right now as the whole Saga is expanding with a whole new trilogy of episodes VII, VIII, IX and a trilogy of anthology films each of which will focus on its own particular thing. Not to mention there's also the Rebels TV series which I've been a huge fan of since it started airing last year and I was able to watch the season 2 premiere featured Darth Vader with James Earl Jones returning to the role once again.
I've decided to do a review for each film of the Star Wars Saga here as for preparation for VII: The Force Awakens on Dec. 18th. While many people seem to loath the Prequel Trilogy for various things from poor acting, too much CGI, poor writing etc, I've never had the same feeling probably due to the fact I grew up watching them in the Cinema. I was 5 when The Phantom Menace came out, 8 when Attack of the Clones was released and 11 with Revenge of the Sith. Granted there are some legitimate complaints about the prequels (which I'll be getting into), but I think they've too harshly judged. Without further ado, let's jump right into the fray.
The Phantom Menace
Like I said, I was 5 when the movie came out in 1999 so I never had much problem with it for a long time and still have nostalgia for it to this day. Though as I got older, I did notice major flaws. The biggest is the acting (as is with the prequels at large). Lucas I think isn't that good a director. Look back at A New Hope without the nostalgia goggles and some of the acting isn't that great. In fact, the rough cut of the film was a nightmare which is when Lucas had fired his editor and brought in Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew to clean up the film. So the poor acting in regards to The Phantom Menace shouldn't be a huge surprise. But yeah it's still a problem. Then there's Jar Jar. Most people hate him and say he ruined the movie and the prequels at large. Actually I've never had a huge problem with him. I've never loved him, but I don't despise him. There's things to like like the Pod Race scene (though does go on for too long). I think the thing that saves the film is the Maul/Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan lightsaber duel at the end of the film. Ultimately I still have a lot of nostalgia for the film so I can't say I hate it or even simply not like it. I'll give it a generous 6.70/10. Also please stop picking on Jake Lloyd. He was only a kid.
Attack of the Clones
This I must say is actually my least favorite of the whole Saga by far. It's filled with the poorest acting of the Star Wars films by far (due to Hayden Christensen's acting in part). The romance between Anakin and Padme is painful for me to watch every time I put the film in. This is an example why George Lucas shouldn't have been directing. I think what should've happened after Phantom Menace is that he should've stepped aside and let another director take the helm much like he did with Irvin Kershner on Empire Strikes Back and that film turned out to be the most beloved of the Saga. Maybe Steven Spielberg or hell even Christopher Nolan who are both possible candidates to direct a future Star Wars film. This is the Star Wars film I think I've watched the least. The CGI is just saturated everywhere, though I will say Anakin and Obi-Wan pursuing Zam Welch in the beginning is pretty exciting (even though it does rip off The Fifth Element). Also the action scenes are good to watch particularly Obi-Wan fighting Jango Fett which has some pretty funny moments. Despite the poor acting two performances stand out; Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi (as he does throughout the prequels) and Christopher Lee (may he forever rest in peace) as Count Dooku. Typically when you think of a Sith Lord, they tend to be absolutely batshit crazy or just angry all the time. But with Dooku (or Darth Tyranus if you go by his Sith name), he seems so calm, cool and collected in every scene you see him. Very aristocratic in nature. The lightsaber fight in the film is my least favorite out of any of the films as it doesn't look interesting. Though the Yoda/Dooku fight is just plain kickass. Yes I know there's people who bitch and moan that Yoda shouldn't be having a lightsaber, but it's still awesome. Also worth mentioning is Tamuera Morrison as Jango Fett. I know a lot of people were pissed off to hear that Boba Fett was a clone, but please let's put that behind us. It's been 13 years now, it's canon so best just live with it. But anyways I thought Jango Fett was just a badass and that seems to be passed down to Boba Fett (respectfully portrayed by Daniel Logan who reprises his role in The Clone Wars series). Also it's great to see the Jedi in action if only for a little bit in the Geonosis gladiator arena. One of the other flaws of this film is that the clone troopers are CG. I don't some of them being CG, but seriously couldn't get some extras to fill in? Overall I like this less than The Phantom Menace, it can still be watched as a Star Wars film. I'll give Attack of the Clones a 5.50/10.
The Clone Wars Era
This is a very interesting time period in the Prequel Trilogy era. There's much material in this brief 3-year time period. So I'll first cover the very undercovered (and underrated) Clone Wars micro-series. It's done by the same guy who did Saumari Jack (which I haven't seen personally though have heard much positive vibe about) which is done in the same style and it's really great. There's not a lot of dialogue as most of the story is driven through visuals. The animation is hand drawn with a little CG here and there. The interpretation of Anakin Skywalker is the best ever put to screen big or small. It really projects his rage so well especially when he duels with Asajj Ventress. It's since been released on DVD as a quasi 2-hour movie of sorts and available on YouTube. Then there's The Clone Wars "feature film" and The Clone Wars CG TV show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2008 to 2013 (the last season was made exclusively available on Netflix last year). I'll the feature film first. Well really it isn't, it's just the first few episodes of the TV show cobbled together into a quasi movie. There weren't any plans originally for a cinematic movie, but George Lucas came up with it at the last moment like all great ideas he put in the prequels. The Clone Wars film is the lowest grossing cinematic Star Wars film with 68 million box office worldwide and 19% at Rottentomatoes. The CGI isn't good at all certainly not close to par with Pixar or Dreamworks. There's hardly any facial expressions on the characters faces and the acting is some of the worst. Dave Filoni was just getting his footing around this time so releasing this as a cinematic film was a bad idea. That all said, The Clone Wars TV series was MUCH better. The animation gotten better and better as the series went along, the characters were very interesting and the space battles were always EPIC. Some of the lightsaber battles are a little robotic and the animation isn't cinematic quality, but this is meant for TV and for that it's pretty good looking. The biggest negative is that it was cancelled before it could reach its natural conclusion. After Disney bought Lucasfilm and Star Wars, Disney then decided to cancel The Clone Wars series prematurely. It was suppose to go on for seven seasons and the last episode would've not only taken place during events of Revenge of the Sith, but even afterwards showing where key characters ended up. *coughs* Ahsoka *coughs* Rex *coughs* But credit due, the last fully completed season was made available on Netflix a year later along with all other episodes and the feature film. An odd element of the TV show is that the episodes were made and aired out of order. What the hell is with that?! The first chronological episode aired in the latter half of season 2! And the several were in early season 3! Thankfully StarWars.com released the official chronological order of all the episodes and the film so I suggest ya'll go there and look it up. Overall I give Clone Wars (the mirco series) 9/10, The Clone Wars feature film 4/10 and The Clone Wars CG series 8.87/10.
Revenge of the Sith
This film is very interesting as it has very divisive opinion. Lot of people love it, some really hate it and then there's some who are indifferent to it. Personally I'm in the first category. I love this film. Best of the prequel trilogy by FAR. The opening scene I think by far is the best opening scene in all of the Star Wars Saga. It's a space battle over Coruscant and it's just exciting to watch with Republic and Separatist ships blowing each other up. Anakin and Obi-Wan's back and forth banter during the course of it is enjoyable too. Revenge of the Sith introduces us to General Grevious who's a hell of a badass, but I feel he's slightly underused in this movie (thankfully that's made up for in The Clone Wars TV series). Another thing of note is this isn't the first time technically General Grevious is seen. The first time he's introduced is in the Clone Wars animated micro-series which is a very different character. The film while still has flaws that are present in the other two films, they're not as prominent and more tolerable therefore. Anakin Skywalker's dissent into the Dark Side I think is handled decently even if it happens to quickly and too easily (which is why I highly recommend you watch The Clone Wars series on Netflix as it provides a lot of filled in gaps). The highlight of the film is Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine/Darth Sidious who was in Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace as well. In fact, back when he first portrayed Sidious in Return of the Jedi, he was only in his late 30s and Sidious was suppose to be in his 80s! McDiarmid explained at Star Wars celebration a couple months ago that they originally had an actor to portray Sidious who was in his 80s, but the contacts to make his eyes yellow had irritated him. McDiarmid was playing an elderly Howard Hughes in a London play which had caught Lucas' attention and eventually he was cast in the part. And I that I think was the most spot on casting of any Star Wars character in the Saga. When you see Sidious in his true form on screen, you get the chills and creeps watching especially when he declares Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader. The fight between Vader and Obi-Wan on Mustafar is one of the best duels in any Star Wars film and the Yoda/Sidious duel is enjoyable to watch as well. The film like I said does have its flaws such as some hard scenes to get through. Most prominently one with Anakin and Padme in their apartment at the beginning, though all their other scenes are actually tolerable at least for me. The best scene by far in the film (and possibly in the whole Saga) is when Anakin is in the Jedi Council chamber and it cuts back to Padme in her apartment looking out the window. There's no dialogue at all except for a voice-over of Sidious warning Anakin about losing Padme. There's just ominous music with a singer in the background that gives you this feeling of tread. For as much as George Lucas is criticized for poor writing, he's not that bad a writer and this scene (and another I'll too) really shows him at his best. My personal favorite scene in the film is the Opera House Scene with Anakin being told about Darth Plagueis (who was Sidious' Sith master *spoiler alert*). This scene really allowed the mythos of Star Wars to be expanded and eventually gave way to the Darth Plagueis novel (which I couldn't recommend any HIGHER as a read). The scene where Vader is officially born with James Earl Jones in the role is something to be seen (well maybe with exception of "NOOOOOOOO!" part). Overall I'll give this film a 8.83/10 grade.
A New Hope (or simply Star Wars per the film's original title)
The film that started it all! This is truly a classic to be respected and changed cinema for the better with respect of the new revolutionary special effects. This film as well as Empire and Jedi I grew up watching and are one of the first loves of my childhood (the first being Winnie the Pooh). The opening scene of the film puts you right into the action with stormtroopers invading a rebel ship and then Darth Vader walking in the Doorway is one of the greatest classic moments in cinema history. C-3PO and R2-D2 while not primary characters are the perspective the audience follows in the beginning and are interesting to watch. As a sidenote; all props to Anthony Daniels who is the only actor who has appeared in every Star Wars film (including the upcoming The Force Awakens). When I think about it, I'm astonished that this film is almost 40 years old now. And yet it still visually holds up well with exception of a few shots. Then there's the special edition changes which bugs off people the wrong way. Personally I'm not so annoyed though some changes like Greedo shooting first and some CG shots are unnecessary. The best with this film I think is the added Jabba which I enjoy watching. It was a missing part of the story that was put back in (though Han stepping over Jabba's could be edited out in the next special edition of New Hope). Luke Skywalker by far is the best character in the film (with Obi-Wan coming to a close 2nd). He's the average person that we the audience can identify with and sympathize. People forget even though it's not as dark as Empire, there are some dark moments like Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru being killed and their remains shown in full. The lightsaber fight with Vader and Obi-Wan while is among my least favorites in the Saga, is very compelling because the past shared between the two. Han Solo and Chewbacca are just awesome characters and cool to watch. The best scene is the final battle destroying the Death Star which delivers tension and excitement. Overall Episode IV: A New Hope is a terrific classic that changed cinema for the better. I give it a solid 9/10.
The Empire Strikes Back
Considered the best in the Star Wars Saga by far (though my favorite is actually Jedi), Empire Strikes Back really takes the story in a darker direction. It takes place 3 years after the events of New Hope and the Rebel Alliance is on Hoth. They're discovered by the Empire and driven off. After George Lucas had directed A New Hope, he stepped out of the director's chair and got Irvin Kershner to direct. And boy does he do a hell of a job. The acting is better, the characters are fleshed out further and a solid romance between Han and Leia built (which was tried and failed in Attack of the Clones). Come to think, maybe it should've been Kershner directing Attack of the Clones. He would've made the romance between Anakin and Padme much more believable, but I digress. What's really compelling about the story is Luke Skywalker's journey to becoming a Jedi. Something to notice is that Luke is much more skilled in Empire than he is in New Hope which makes you wonder how he learned without a master. For that, go read Marvel Comics' Star Wars (2015) series. Something else of note is Vader searching for Luke Skywalker. In the altered scene in which Ian McDiarmid plays Sidious (originally it was Elaine Baker who was wife of the film's editor and voice provided by Clive Revill), he mentions Vader that Luke is his son. Vader then responds "How is that possible?". The average viewer may wonder why the continuity error. Well Marvel Comics' Darth Vader series properly explains that when Vader found out about Luke Skywalker, he deliberately didn't tell Sidious as he plans to forcibly convert Luke to his cause in overthrowing the Emperor and ruling the galaxy. In fact, Sidious and Vader have a whole history of lying and backstabbing one another which isn't surprising considering the whole history of the Sith in the Bane line. It could be assumed that Lucas when adding in the scene for the 2004 DVD version had intended all along to highlight this element of the relationship between the two. But I digress. The best scenes in the film are by far Luke's training sessions with Yoda on Dagobah. Part of what makes the Yoda puppet work is Mark Hamill's performance. And of course Frank Oz's voicing and operating him (which he of course returns to voice him in the prequels and in an episode of Rebels). Then there's the fight between Luke and Vader on Cloud City. This is my favorite lightsaber fight right next to Duel of the Fates in The Phantom Menace. In New Hope and Empire, there's little/no music during the lightsaber fights which I think especially works in favor here. The sound of the lightsaber is the most intriguing sound I've ever heard. On its own, it sounds very musical. Then there's the introduction of Lando Calrissian who's quite the charmer due to Billy Dee Williams awesome performance. In fact there's an upcoming Marvel Comics' series on Lando so be sure to check those out. This was also the first time we see Boba Fett was originally voiced by an entirely different actor before Tameura Morrison had redone the role to match the official canon. Boba Fett is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars Saga even though he has hardly any dialogue. And it also has the biggest, shocking reveal of any film with Darth Vader being Luke's father. I recommend you go to YouTube and search children reacting to Darth Vader revealing to Luke being his father. Their reactions are worth gold. Overall The Empire Strikes Back is among the best films in cinema history. My grade for it is 9.80/10.
Return of the Jedi
My most favorite film of the Star Wars Saga, it's the perfect bookend to the Original Trilogy and the Star Wars Saga if there was no sequel trilogy. It was the first time we see Jabba the Hutt and boy is it a hell of an introduction. We start the film with Darth Vader coming to the 2nd Death Star demanding an explanation why it isn't finished yet. Something to notice about Vader throughout the Original Trilogy is that the look of his helmet and a few other things change slightly with every film. This film also has the best space battle of any the other films. The battle above Endor is a sight to watch. With exception of a few bits that do look a little dated, it still holds up 32 years after its original release in 1983. Luke Skywalker is now close to being a full fledged Jedi and now must face his father Darth Vader once again. This is the first Star Wars film that uses full score music during a lightsaber fight as the really escalate the drama and boy does it succeed big time. Luke raging on Vader after he finds out about his secret sister Leia is so huge and tense to watch as he almost succumbs to the Dark Side. Oh yeah, there's Ian McDiarmid as Darth Sidious who's just perfect for the role. Previously he was and is to this day a stage actor and his play credits far outweigh his film credits. I think it's that classical acting that really makes his performance as Darth Sidious work. For years I was actually afraid to watch any scene in the film where his face could easily be seen as I was always creeped out. To this day I always skip the unmasking scene with Anakin. Then there's the Ewoks. Some people love them, others hate them called them the worst thing of the Saga (until Jar Jar came along). Personally I don't mind them and they have a purpose to the story. My favorite scene by far is when Sidious is lurching force lighting on Luke and then Vader turning back to the light as Anakin Skywalker throwing him down the shaft of the Death Star. Overall it's my favorite Star Wars film in the Saga and it completes it (though it's great to be seeing a whole new trilogy in store). My grade for it is a solid 10/10.

A few days again a local friend sent me an e-mail enquiring as to my current bath and shower renovations and saying "What is your blood sugar level like these days? All that stress can't be doing it any good, so I wonder whether an unopened 250g box of FEMINA chocs would be of any use to you (can't remember whether you eat chocs or not) and\or a cute little tin of salted butter caramels."
I replied: on the chocolates – thanks, but no thanks, I'm fussy and currently only eating dark chocolate, but that the salty butter caramels would be more than welcome.
She duly deposited them in my "milk" box (European letter boxes have two parts: one for the letters and another for packages, they call them the milk box as they resemble the ones used back in the day for the milkman to deposit fresh milk). I recuperated them and of course had to try – delicious, I mean really good.
It was a good 24 hours later however that I took a closer look at the "cute" tin, only to realize that it came from one of the best Parisian tea rooms: Angelina.
That brought back a flood of good memories of the meal taken there whilst visiting Paris with friends this past summer. Remember Miss Betty? We had lunch at Angelina's after our visit to the Louvre.
One of those very happy coincidences: going to celebrate by having another salty butter caramel!

Anyone who looks around this blog for even a few posts will realise that I'm a huge Aliens and Predator fan. I love the movies, the comics, the books and the games. I've always wanted a properly supported, official game for this series, but to date no such thing existed.
That's all changed: Prodos Games (makers of Warzone Resurrection) have started a fully-licenced Kickstarter project!
Go here for full details
I'm definitely in on this project - the initial imagery looks great, with a Space Hulk style game, lots of models in the box and the prospect of scaleability…
The project has gotten off to a great start, with lots of unlocks already underway. Some of these really show commitment to the franchise - such as the Kickstarter exclusive Predator Berserker (from Predators), the Predator Hellhounds (also from Predators), a unique Colonial Marine Sergeant, and the prospect of sentry guns!
The sculpts look great - very impressed…
Some unlocks are also very surprising - such as a female Predator model! The render shown on Kickstarter looks like this will be an interesting model to paint up. I'm hoping that we will see some variant aliens (maybe from Colonial Marines? It was a bad game, but had some good ideas…).
So, if you are an Aliens or Predator fan get over to Kickstarter and put in your pledge!

Have you struggled to lose those last few pounds? Do you have stubborn pockets of fat that won't budge no matter how much you diet or how hard you exercise? If so, you may be considering or have already done a CoolSculpting treatment to freeze the fat. If that's the case, then you may are most likely experiencing some awesome results with this revolutionary new body sculpting treatment.
An important thing to remember is that while CoolSculpting tones and sculpts your body like no other treatment, you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle to make sure you achieve the long lasting results you've dreamed of. Many patients choose to freeze the fat after spending a considerable amount of time dieting and exercising to get in shape—that all needs to continue after your CoolSculpting sessions. You'll not only make the most out of these treatments, you'll make sure the results will last for the long haul.
When it comes to working out, it's always important to continue to challenge your body by increasing the duration and intensity of your exercise sessions. Just because you eliminated excess fat with CoolSculpting, that doesn't mean you should get lax with your exercise regimen. Mix up your workouts and work harder as time goes on—these fat reducing, body sculpting sessions won't make you immune to exercise plateaus.
Whether you've lost weight before or after your CoolSculpting sessions, your nutrition needs will change and your body will require less calories if you want to continue losing weight. You may want to consult with a nutritionist or weight loss physician to find ways to avoid diet plateaus and know which foods are best for you and those to avoid.
If you're ready to have the body of your dreams, call today to consult with an expert to find out what CoolSculpting can do for you.

Previous Research Results:
We focus our research on protein structure and function, with a particular emphasis on enzymes with potential biomedical implications. Using X-ray crystallography as the main technical approach, complemented by a plethora of other biochemical, biophysical, and computational techniques, we try to understand the function of macromolecules and macromolecular complexes from their high-resolution structures. We are currently interested in the characterization and validation of potential drug targets from bacterial human pathogens and in elucidating the molecular details of specific coagulation factor IIa recognition and inhibition by natural macromolecular anticoagulants from haematophagous parasites.
In this context, we have recently determined the three-dimensional structure of a novel glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which integrates an essential and unique pathway of this human pathogen. Together with the structure of the closely related mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase from the hyperthermophile Rubrobacter xylanophilus, this structure revealed the molecular determinants of substrate specificity and established a knowledge base for the rational design of specific inhibitors. In a similar line, we have determined the three-dimensional structure of human thrombin in complex with three small synthetic inhibitors, unveiling important details of their specific mode of action.
IMAGE: Top (a) and side (b) view of the experimental three-dimensional model of the decameric cytosolic glutamine synthetase from the model legume Medicago truncatula (Torreira et al. (2014) Acta Crystallographica D70, 981-993).
Future Research:
The recent uprising of life-threatening infectious diseases of bacterial origin, brought about by the increasing resistance of many pathogens to the available antibiotics, prompts for the functional and molecular characterization of novel pathways that are amenable to therapeutic intervention. Our group will therefore continue the molecular and structural dissection of the unique M. tuberculosis pathways that lead to cell wall synthesis, in order to identify and validate suitable drug targets.
Coagulation disorders are other life-threatening and highly incapacitating pathologies for which more efficient and safer therapies are much needed. By pursuing the characterization of the structural determinants of thrombin recognition by natural macromolecular anticoagulants, we will contribute towards the development of better antithrombotic drugs.
In summary, our group will carry on with the structural and biochemical characterization of medically relevant enzymes and drug targets from human pathogens and of unique natural anticoagulants from haematophagous animals, ultimately envisaging the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

from my main screen! how do it get the window back???
You normally can't see the window if you haven't any notifications (no icons at top of screen).
Just drag your finger from the top of the screen it should appear even if you haven't any notifications.
Also, you can use the menu button and select notifications.
Hope this helps

The hymn for this week is "Glory to God on High". http://lds.org/churchmusic/detailmusicPlayer/index.html?searchlanguage=1&searchcollect ion=1&searchseqstart=67&searchsubseqstart=%20&searchseqend=67&searchsubseq end=ZZZ The passage is Psalm 117. http://lds.org/scriptures/ot/ps/117?lang=eng
Special news from this week. Today marks the beginning of my twelfth month as a full-time missionary. Last Thursday, Elder P., my MTC companion, arrived in India. He's serving in Hyderabad, so I saw him Tuesday at district meeting.
It's been a great week.
I'm sorry for not fitting more of the sights and sounds of India into my letters over the past nine months. The sight for this week is a pushcart full of bananas– the bananas are still on the stalk, and so it's a group of banana towers, ranging through green and yellow. The cart is flat and rolls on four large wobbly wheels. When you make a purchase, the merchant slices a bundle of bananas off the stalk to weigh them.
The sound is a car backing up, and playing "Fur Elise". It's Elder A. who pointed out to me that all cars in India made a sound as they back up, usually a song. It's Elder T. who asked me a few weeks back why 80% of them play 'Fur Elise'. Is it representative of an Indian appreciation for classical music?
Almost every time I try to write this letter, I find that I'm almost completely at a loss as to how to capture or explain my daily life. I can't find words to describe the joy of teaching the gospel, of saying something to someone and feeling the words coming from somewhere else, of sharing a scripture and hearing it take new meaning in the very moment it's read. I can't describe the normal fear of talking to whoever is sitting next to me on the bus, or how that fear goes away. I can't explain how I keep getting up every morning, or how I've learned to expect in the past month that every day really can be better than the day before.
All I can say is what I say everyday, and what has never ceased to be amazing to me. I really do know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. I really do know that He and His Father spoke to Joseph Smith. I know that God answers prayers, that coming to God and keeping his commandments is a way to a great peace and joy that overcomes the world. I know Christ is victorious over death. The Gospel of Jesus Christ frees us from chains of discouragement, confusion, grief and sin. It is life and light.
I'll think this week about how to put my daily life into words, and how to put my testimony more firmly into acts.
I love you all,
Elder Westwood


text: Know More About Commercial Business Loans A commercial loan refers to obtaining funds for a business most especially those needing large capital to cover costs of production and operations that a company cannot afford. For small business owners and first-time entrepreneurs, they often face an expensive upfront cost as well as regulatory restrictions preventing their accessibility to financing debt and equity markets. For this reason, small business entrepreneurs are depending much on other sources of lending or financings like a line of credit, term loans and unsecured loans. A commercial business loan is the best option for small business owners who need short-term funding, let's say for covering operational costs or purchasing an equipment or machinery facilitating the process of operations. Commercial loans may also be used to fund the basic needs of small businesses like payroll or purchase of supplies and raw materials needed in manufacturing goods. While it is true that commercial loans are considered short-term loans, there are financing institutions offering commercial loan renewal for another period. Renewable commercial loans are really helpful for businesses to sustain their operational needs while the loan is being repaid in an agreed manner and specified period of time. Many business owners look for a flexible renewable commercial loan most especially when they are handling large volume of orders from certain seasonal clients so they are still able to provide the products needed by other customers. Most financial institutions require a borrower to present documentation such as balance sheets, receipts and other business documents proving that the business has a consistent and favorable cash flow. It will give assurance to the lender that the loan will be repaid basing on agreed terms and conditions. Unlike other types of loans, your success depends on you when availing a commercial loan, and one of the most important benefits is the total ownership of your business without needing to raise funds or sell an interest in maintaining complete control. A commercial loan may be invested to avail of your own business establishment or commercial building, and the revenue or profit you'll obtain from it can be used for marketing, research and development, further expansion, and of course repaying your loans or debts. You will also gain the benefit of improved cash flow with a commercial loan because you only have to pay a minimum upfront cost and the loan can be repaid in a flexible payment plan as agreed both by the financial institution and the borrower. Owning a commercial property also free you from harsh tax rules. If you are interested in avail of a commercial loan, you may visit our website or contact us directly.The Beginner's Guide to Services

Fuji Magic
I have been shooting with Fuji's mirror less cameras for one year now and I must say, I love it. I must also confess, I will not be giving up my love affair with Nikon Cameras any time soon. Like any love interest, there is faithfulness and integrity that makes the relationship special and long lasting - that's how I feel about my Nikon bodies and lens.
My relationship with the Fuji's brand of X-based cameras began out of curiosity with the X-100T. Having shot with this camera over the last year, it has transformed my photography. The reason for this simple - the fact there is no mirror in the small body means the image I see before shooting is exactly what will be recorded by the sensor.
Being able to see the image before recording it means that I have been able to make adjustments to the exposure either during manual shooting or when in Aperture Priority mode, using the Exposure Compensation dial. This simple visual confirmation in camera has given me an even grater appreciation for the relationship between "Aperture", "Shutter Speed" and "ISO Values".
I have been able to transfer this knowledge over to my Nikon D7100 and D750 with AMAZING results.
I loved the experience of shooting with the X-100t so much, I treated myself to the amazing X-T1 for Christmas. This came with the 18-135 3.5-5.6mm Lens and it is simply fantastic.
I felt very comfortable operating this camera as the menu system is almost identical to the X-100T. There are a few variations in terms of how I access the ISO etc - nevertheless, this is a wonderful piece of engineering.
This particular body is an Interchangeable Lens system, so like a DSLR, I now have the options of adding further Lens variations. I think I will enjoy this for now with the kit lens. It is compact enough for my needs and will feature a lot on my travels.
The image quality is first class, the form factor makes it almost invisible - it will be more so with a smaller Prime Lens like the 23mm or 35mm.
I am still learning about this camera and will document my experiences and images as I go along throughout 2016. For now it is welcome addition to my profession arsenal.

TAST French Knots
I love doing French Knots! This weeks stitch for Take a Stitch Tuesday is French Knots and while I haven't done a special sample I have found pictures of work where I have used them a lot. The first picture was a sample that I did for my C+G Level 2 - it was based on a picture of a starfish, embroidered in 2 thicknesses of variegated perle cotton and surrounded by kantha type quilting.
The second picture is the bag I made at the end of the C+G Level 2 course - much of the embroidery is French Knots in different types and weights of threads.
Recently I went on holiday to Normandy for a week - before I went I bought a pack of threads from the Fibre Factory along with some dyed scrim I then painted a piece of linen and created this freehand design - including of course, French Knots. The rest of the threads are couched down as they are too thick to use for stitching but give wonderful texture to the piece.
This last sample is one that I have done very recently - candlewicking - it will be made into a wallhanging along with some other blocks made using other techniques. I even made one of these blocks travelling through France doing French knots!

These are lovely! I like French Knots too. It was one of the first stitches I learned, and while I found it difficult at age 5 or 6, I really don't understand the dread that many stitchers approach them with!

text: Hey!!! So this is what happens when i am in a weird mood and wasn't feeling inspired poses wise. I just decided to let go and have fun, and the results seem pretty fun to me. It looks like i am becoming the Shiva Hindu Goddess, or a wannabe if i may say so myself ahaha. With all the different lengths layers i was wearing, i felt that the feeling of free movement was needed. That's also because i picked these clothes to feel this way as i woke up moody. The last thing i wanted was to feel constrained in what i am wearing. Comfort is always the main factor in my outfit choose, and I believe is key to a good day ahead. Let's continue with this spirit in mind for the rest of the week, and a good week ahead is (or should be) guaranteed!!

Well, morning would be an exaggeration…breakfast really started right after noon:-) My dad would so make fun of me, saying that is morning…the morning person as he is, while I am…well, NOT!
Anyway, a lot of people write food blogs and have great tips on healthy eating. Here is my little tip on American Pancakes that is full of proteins, good fat and is gluten and milk free:
– 1 ripe banana, strirred well
– 2 ts virgin coconutoil
– 2-3 dl soy milk
– 1 ts baking soda
– a few drops of stevia (there are so many different types, so it is hard to give you measurements, because they all come with different strengths)
– 1 dl quinoa flour
– 2 tbl spoons of protein powder ( I use rice protein with vanilla taste, from the health food store)
– any other flour (I use a mix with glutenfree flour), add just enough to get the right consistency. I like it rather full, so that the pancakes get thick, but that is a matter of taste.
Add fruit or berries.
I also use Maple or Aguave nectar (the latter has much lower GI), because breakfast during the weekend is really a treat, but you can easily just drop it and just eat them with fruit.
Kept me full all day, until dinner at 8pm (yes, we tend to eat late, it is my hubbys African heritage, ha ha).
Have a wonderful weekend.
PS. Did you do your breathing and mindfulness today?
Tomorrow I will write about a technique that can be helpful, taken from the Zen practice.
Love, S

With Washington State losing to Michigan in the Rose Bowl and UCLA, ranked higher in the national polls than the Pacific 10 champion Cougars and winning its 10th consecutive game in the Cotton Bowl, the inevitable question of "what if" arose.
What if UCLA had not chosen to change its scheduled Nov. 8 game against Washington State at Pullman to Aug. 30, where it was able to take home a check for $220,230 for its share of the ABC network telecast, but where it also took home a 37-34 defeat?
What if UCLA had resisted the money, resisted the chance for national TV exposure and the boost for recruiting that comes with that; had resisted the chance to avoid the foibles of a chilly November game in Pullman?
What if UCLA had taken the then red-hot Cade McNown, in the midst of the winning streak, to Washington State for a conference title showdown and won, making Thursday's Rose Bowl No. 1 Michigan vs. UCLA--rather than versus Washington State?

Mr. Jain submitted that as per the averments made in the plaint as also in the affidavit of summons for Judgment, suit is purportedly based on running account, maintained by the plaintiff of the transactions with the defendant in the books of accounts. Accordingly, he submits that the suit is based on running account and would not fall within the ambit of Order xxxvII CPC.
The said submission is misconceived. The suit is based on a written contract comprising the offer, its acceptance by issuance of purchase orders and raising of invoices in execution thereof. These constitute the written contract. The amounts claimed are those due in the suit under the above written contract. Additionally, reliance has been placed on the acknowledgment and confirmation of balance issued by the defendant. The mere averment in the plaintiff that the plaintiff also maintains a running account, reflecting the price of the goods supplied and the payments made therefore, does not change the nature of the suit as in one being based on a running account. The mere maintenance of a running account does not disentitle the plaintiff from filing the suit under Order xxxvII, CPC, based on a written contract and acknowledgment in writing.
Delhi High Court
Dura-Line India Pvt. Ltd. vs Bpl Broadband Network Pvt. Ltd. on 2 December, 2003
Equivalent citations: AIR 2004 Delhi 186, III (2004) BC 391
1. By IA No. 2294/2002, under Order xxxvII, Rule 3(5) read with Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure defendant seeks unconditional leave to contest the suit. Plaintiff M/s. Dura-Line India Pvt. Ltd.. formerly known as M/s. Bharti Dura-Line Limited, has Instituted the present suit under Order xxxvII, CPC, claiming a sum of Rs. 35,88,620 (Rs. Thirty five lacs eighty eight thousand six hundred twenty only) together with costs. Plaintiff also seeks pendehte lite and future interest at the rate of 24 per cent per annum.
Upon summons being issued under Order xxxvII CPC, defendant entered appearance accompanied with an application for condensation of delay in entering appearance. Vide order dated 14-2-20(32, delay in entering appearance was condoned. Plaintiff took out summons for judgment in response to which the defendant has filed the above application, seeking leave to contest.
2. Before considering the grounds urged in support of the application for unconditional leave to contest the suit, the facts in brief as they emerge from the plaint, application and admitted documents may be noted.
3. Plaintiffs case in brief is that it is engaged, inter alia, in the business of manufacturing and sale of "Permanently Solid Lubricated Silicore HDPE Telecom Ducts, its associated accessories, tools, cable jet, super get machines etc." Defendant approached the plaintiff and made enquiries regarding the supply of the above, products. Plaintiff gave its offer on 22-6-2000, setting out the price and other terms. Plaintiff reL vised the above offer vide its letter dated 25-10-2000. Defendant in response to the plaintiffs revised offer, issued five purchase orders, detailed as under :
(1) Purchase Order No. BIPL-P/1025/ PO1038 dated 21-9-2000
(ii) Purchase Order No. BIPL-P/1025/ PO1049 dated 9-10-2000
(iii) Purchase Order No. BIPL-P/1025/ PO1065 dated 8-11-2000
(iv) Purchase Order No. BIPL-P/1025/ PO1066 dated 8-11-2000
(v) Purchase Order No. BIPL-P/1025/ PO 1088 dated 15-12-2000
4. The goods, ordered by the defendant, were supplied by the plaintiff company and delivered to the defendant. Plaintiff has given in para 6 of the plaint, the details of the purchase orders, execution thereof and raising of the invoices in respect thereof. Plaintiff company also executed similar orders, received from another group company of the defendant, namely. M/s. BPL, Inovision Ltd. Correspondence was exchanged between the plaintiff and defendant. Reference in the correspondence, at times, is to the entire outstanding of the BPL group of companies. Plaintiff, however, is relying on the correspondence, relating to the dues of the defendant company.
5. Plaintiff company maintains a running account in its books of the dealings with the defendant, Plaintiff has produced on record the statement of account as also the confirmation of the statement of account, as given by the defendant (Annexure P. 22) appearing at page 107 of the paper book. Defendant confirmed a debit balance of Rs. 29,09,052/- (Rs. Twenty nine lacs nine thousand fifty two only), as due from the defendant to the plaintiff as on 26-9-2001. Plaintiff relies on letters dated 10-4-2001 and 8-6-2001. Defendant, in response, accepted that the amount has been outstanding for long and indicated end of May, 2001, as the date by which the outstanding amount of payment could be released. In the letter of 8-6-2001, the defendant expressed that due to internal compulsion, they were unable to give immediate payment schedule and requested the plaintiff to bear with them, assuming that they were drawing up the dues clearance plan and would intimate them shortly. Again, defendant vide its letter dated 3-7-2001, stated as under :--
"I pretty much understand your predicament. We are working on a solution, please bear with us. I know it may mean nothing to you until you see the money but I can assure you that there is not going to be an extensive delay."
6. Lastly vide letter dated 5-7-2001, (Annexure P. 18), defendant urged as under:--
"We note with concern our outstanding dues of Rs. : 31 lacs payable to you towards supply of HDPE ducts. Due to very tight liquidity situation that we are presently facing, we are unable to settle your dues. However, we would endeavor our best to clear part payment of Rs. 5 lacs during 2nd week of July, 2001. We request you to kindly bear with us.
7. Having noticed the factual matrix, let us consider the pleas raised by the defendant in the application for leave to contest and as urged before the Court by Mr. Sanjay Jain, learned counsel for the defendant.
Suit is based on running account and not maintainable within the ambit of Order xxxvII CPC.
Mr. Jain submitted that as per the averments made in the plaint as also in the affidavit of summons for Judgment, suit is purportedly based on running account, maintained by the plaintiff of the transactions with the defendant in the books of accounts. Accordingly, he submits that the suit is based on running account and would not fall within the ambit of Order xxxvII CPC.
The said submission is misconceived. The suit is based on a written contract comprising the offer, its acceptance by issuance of purchase orders and raising of invoices in execution thereof. These constitute the written contract. The amounts claimed are those due in the suit under the above written contract. Additionally, reliance has been placed on the acknowledgment and confirmation of balance issued by the defendant. The mere averment in the plaintiff that the plaintiff also maintains a running account, reflecting the price of the goods supplied and the payments made therefore, does not change the nature of the suit as in one being based on a running account. The mere maintenance of a running account does not disentitle the plaintiff from filing the suit under Order xxxvII, CPC, based on a written contract and acknowledgment in writing.
9. Point No. 11.
Courts at Delhi do not have territorial jurisdiction.
Mr. Sanjay Jain submitted that the contract between the parties is stated to be contained in the letter of offer of the plaintiff and the purchase orders issued by the defendant. The purchase orders provide, "Any dispute relating to the purchase orders shall be deemed to have arisen in Karnataka/ Kerala and shall be subject to adjudication by a competent Court in Karnataka/Kerala. Apart from the aforesaid specific term, Mr. Jain submits that the material part of cause of action had arisen in Bangalore, inasmuch as the contract was concluded at Bangalore from where the purchase orders were issued. The goods were dispatched by the plaintiff from Goa and supplied at Bangalore. Payments were also made from Bangalore. It was also pointed out that few of the invoices Issued by the plaintiff itself carried a legend "subject to Goa Jurisdiction." In the light of the foregoing, he submits that the jurisdiction could at best be in Karnataka, Kerala or Goa but not Delhi. He submits that except for the receipt of the purchase order in Delhi, no other part of cause of action had arisen in Delhi. In these circumstances, Delhi Courts would not have jurisdiction.
The plea of lack of Jurisdiction of Delhi Courts is again devoid of merit. It is not disputed that in response to the offer made from Delhi, the purchase orders issued by the defendant were received at Delhi. Hence the communication of the acceptance was at Delhi. Invoices raised by the plaintiff, which were accepted and on the basis of which certain payments are sought to be made carried the following clause :
"The parties hereto unconditionally and irrevocably agree to submit the exclusive jurisdiction competent of the Courts in New Delhi only with regard to any question or matter arising out of these terms and conditions and any other documents that may be executed by the parties hereto or any of them in pursuance hereof or arising herefrom."
10. Learned counsel for the plaintiff has also explained that to avail of benefit in sales tax some of the invoices carried the legend, "subject to Goa Jurisdiction". Most of the invoices carried the legend, "subject to Delhi jurisdiction". Apart from this, Clause 10, as noticed above, confined the Jurisdiction to New Delhi, as per the invoice raised after issuance of the purchase order. Payments have also been made at New Delhi. Undoubtedly, this is a case, where the material part of cause of action, namely, offer emanated from Delhi, acceptance by issuance of purchase order was received at Delhi. Contract was concluded at New Delhi. The payments have been received at Delhi. In a case, where the purchase orders or invoices carry conflicting clauses purporting to have exclusion of jurisdiction, at variance, provisions of Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure are applicable to resolve the issue.
11. The following observations of the Supreme Court in ABC Laminart Pvt. Ltd. v. A. P. Agencies, Salem, are relevant for this purpose :
"The jurisdiction of the Court in matter of a contract will depend on the situs of the contract and the cause of action arising through connecting factors. A cause of action is a bundle of facts which taken with the law applicable to them gives the plaintiff a right to relief against the defendant. It must include some act done by the defendant since In the absence of such an act ho Cause of action can possibly accrue. It is not limited to the actual infringement of the right sued on but includes all the material facts on which it is founded. It does not comprise evidence necessary for the plaintiff to prove to enable him to obtain a decree. Everything which if not proved would give the defendant a right to immediate judgment must be part of the cause of action. But it has no relief whatever to the defense which may be set up by the defendant nor does it depend upon the character of the relief prayed for by the plaintiff.
In a suit for damages for breach of contract the cause of action consists of the making of the contract, and of its breach, so that the suit may be filed either at the place where the contract was made or at the place where it should have been performed and the breach occurred. The determination of the place where the contract was made is part of the law of contract. Ordinarily, acceptance of an offer and its intimation result in a contract and hence a suit can be filed in a Court, within whose Jurisdiction the acceptance was communicated. The performance of a contract is part of cause of action and a suit in respect of the breach can always be filed at the place where the contract should have been performed or its performance completed. If the contract is to be performed at the place where actions are to be rendered and payment is to be made by the agent. Part of cause of action arises where money is expressly or impliedly payable under a contract. In cases of repudiation of a contract, the place where repudiation is received is the place where the suit would lie. If contract is pleaded as part of the cause of action giving jurisdiction to the Court where the suit is filed and that contact is found to be invalid, such part of cause of action disappears.
12. The contract having been concluded in Delhi, payments being received in Delhi, material part of cause of action had arisen in Delhi, Delhi Courts would have jurisdiction even if the term of invoice conferring exclusive jurisdiction to Goa is not considered. The plea and objection of defendant of lack of Jurisdiction is devoid of merit.
13. Point III.
Claim for interest at 24% in the absence of any agreement, exorbitant and not sustainable.
Defendant also questions the claim for interest at the rate of 24 per cent per annum. A perusal of the terms and conditions on the invoices show that interest at the rate of 24 per cent per annum was payable. Hence, the submission of Mr. Jain that there was no agreed rate of interest and the claim for interest at the rate of 24 per cent per annum is not correct as the conditions of invoice itself stipulated the rate of interest itself.
14. Point IV Delayed supplies, damages and loss suffered by the defendant raise friable issues entitling defendant to leave to contest.
Mr. Jain submits that defendant was part of a consortium, comprising BPL Broadband Network Pvt. Ltd., Spectranet Ltd. Spice Communications Ltd., Bharti Mobile Ltd., Indusind Media Communication Ltd. Defendant's objective was to provide an excellent fibre based IP network with additional capacity of fibres and bandwidth to lease out to other service providers as an infrastructure provider. It is in this connection that the defendant approached the plaintiff for supply of telecom ducts. Time was the essence of the contract. Defendant required digging of trenches on public roads, laying the cable ducts and restoring the dug up areas to their original condition for use of public. Hence, timely supply was critical. Plaintiff is stated to have delayed the supply time and again. The ducts were supplied only on 11-10-2001. Meanwhile, trenches got filled up by rain water. There was also short supply. The Bangalore Mahanagar Palika also imposed penalty for delay in completion of the work, amounting to Rs. 16 lacs out of which Rs. 3.3 lacs was imposed on the defendant, as its share.
15. The defendant has produced an inter-office dated 25th July, 2000, regarding damage to 3000 metres duct out of 24000 metres of duct received. It was mentioned in the memo that in view of the trenches being in a highly populated areas, the same would have to be closed temporarily to be reopened when replacement supplies were received from the plaintiff. The Purchase Department also wrote a letter dated 7th August, 2000, to the plaintiff complaining about the above damaged duct of 3000 metres. Thereafter, the defendant vide its letter of 3rd September, 2001 wrote to the plaintiff seeking reconciliation of quality of HDP duct supplied. The details of losses given in the letter are as under :--
Sri Purchase Order No. Loss suffered
1. 1038 : delayed supplies Rs. 4.5 lakhs.
2. 1065 : damaged supplies
due to fire in the lorry Rs. 1.75 lakhs.
3. 1229 : damage to 3000 mts.
Duct Rs. 2.5 lakhs
16. Apart from this, the plaintiff also claimed Rs. 3.3 lakhs as penalty imposed by Bangalore Mahanagar Palika. The total loss thus claimed is Rs. 12.05 lakhs. The above claims on account of losses suffered for delayed supplies, damages for which only two letters dated 7th August, 2000 and 3rd August, 2001 are stated to have been written would have to be viewed along with the repeated acknowledgements of liability given by the defendants as noticed in paras 4-6 of the judgment hereinbefore. The first thing to be noticed is that the receipt of goods from the plaintiffs is not disputed, except for the belated claims sought to be raised on account of damaged supply, alleged short supply. As regards claim for 3000 meters of damaged duct it may be noticed that the price of the duct itself is Rs. 97,500/- while the loss claimed is Rs. 2.5 lakhs. As regards, the delay In supplies, it may be noticed that one of the terms of the invoice was that time was not the essence of the contract. The defendant in terms of Condition 11 of the invoice were entitled to raise debit notes in case of rejection, replacement and shortages were not made available within 60 days. There is nothing on record to show that the defendants raised any debit notes. The plain-tiff in the rejoinder has denied any loss being caused on account of short supply or delayed supplies. There is nothing on record to show that the penalty of Rs. 3.3 lakhs allegedly levied by Bangalore Mahanagar Palika was attributable to any defective or delayed supply by the defendants. The plaintiffs could have no liability for any penalty imposed on the defendant on account of latter's failures, which could even be for non-performance by the defendants, on account of variety of reasons not directly relatable to the plaintiffs supply. What is significant is that contemporaneously the defendants have acknowledged their liability. The defendants on their letterheads, as late as 27th September, 2001, have confirmed the debit balance in their books of Rs. 29,09,052/-. This is after the letter dated 3rd September, 2001. It is of no consequence that one or two of the acknowledgments have been written on the letter heads of another group of companies as long as it can be seen that it pertains to the defendants. Moreover, the acknowledgment of butstandings is also in the hand of the Chairman of the defendants' group of companies. The factum of acceptance of invoices based on agreed price, terms and conditions as also the acknowledgement of liability negate the plea of damages and losses now sought to be raised as essentially being an afterthought.
17. Let us look at the plea of the defendants in another perspective. The total claim sought to be raised is of Rs. 12.05 lakhs. The invoice contains a stipulation regarding payment of interest in the case of delayed payment @ 24% per annum. The interest Itself on the said amount would be over Rs. 14 lakhs which would more than off set, the amount claimed by way of damages to be proved by defendant. While as noticed earlier, the price of the duct which the defendant is claiming at Rs. 2.5 lakhs as damages suffered, is Rs. 97,500/- and there is no basis or particulars disclosed for the claim of Rs. 4.5 lakhs of damages as also for Rs. 3.30 lakhs claimed as penalty attributable to the plaintiff s breach.
18. The legal principles evolved by Judicial pronouncements for grant of leave to contest in a summary suit are fairly well settled. Reference is invited to Mechalee Engineers and Manufactures v. Basi Equipment Corporation , Mrs. Raj Duggal v. Ramesh Kumar Bansal, andFirm New Afghan Co. v. Firm Sadhu Singh Thakar Singh .
19. Applying the judicial principles, as enunciated into the facts of the present case and considering the nature of pleas and objections on maintainability, it is at best a case where defendants are to be permitted to establish a defense on the basis of damages and losses suffered on account of delayed or damaged supplies which has to be on terms.
20. Keeping in mind the facts and pleas as disclosed above, the order which commends to the Court is to direct the defendant to deposit, within four weeks, the acknowledged principal sum of Rs. 29,09,052/- as a condition precedent for grant of leave to contest, in case, the defendant fails to deposit the amount, as aforesaid, the application for leave to contest shall stand dismissed and suit decreed, as prayed,
21. IA No. 2294/02, accordingly, stands disposed of in above terms.

Woody Allen
I've really felt no need to comment on the Woody Allen sexual molestation allegation, mainly because there seemed to be little that could be said—for or against him—that wasn't being said. Yet, I've had a certain nagging sense that something was missing from the conversation and what it was dawned on me today.
There is, for certain groups, a certain incredulity at the allegations. "Not this man," people seem to be saying. "Not Woody." I think if, say, Axl Rose were facing these accusations, many people, including many fans, would not be so resistant to the possible truth of such charges.
So why not Woody Allen? Why is he presumed to be to protected from such things? I don't think that it's merely because he's funny or intellectual. I think it's because he's philosophical. Even more, he's a philosopher of morals. He's a guy who has seemed to agonized over issues of right and wrong (on film, in writing) for several decades. How could someone like that, the thinking goes, commit a so obviously evil moral transgression?
I should be clear here: I don't know what to think about the accusations. Part of me abides by the above logic. But part of me recognizes there's always been something a little creepy about Woody. He's always been focused on sex. Is that because of some deviant swellings in his soul?
I'm reminded of a case I've discussed before: Bob Brozman. Bob Brozman was an eclectic folk and world music guitar virtuoso. But he was more than a musician—he was a philosopher of music. He had deeply thought out ideas on how music worked and how it had developed throughout history. Almost a year ago now he killed himself, possibly because allegations of molestation going back years were about to be leveled.
Both cases, if they are true*, assault this notion of the child molester as an evil, deviant, unkempt villain. They force us to contemplate the minds of such people and even find some kind of sympathy for them if we presume them to be cursed with dark desires. (I've long supposed that child attraction is some strange mis-wiring of the brain.) Because Allen and Brozman both so neatly defy the stereotype of the pedophile, the accusations against them may force us to really examine the minds of such people.
* Even if we never find out the truth, these cases attack our general cartoonish portrayal of child molesters.
