I've just posted some of my list items from this week, but I'm a bit blogged out now so I'll have to finish tomorrow. I've been working in the garden as we've actually had some days of sunshine, and seem to have got loads done. It has left me simultaneously longing for summer - imagining days of picnicking outside with J-cub, and him toddling around while I garden - and dreading it - imagining days of falls on the stone paving slabs, slips on the decking, J-cub designing his own menu of slugs, snails, stones and mud ... I suppose it's just something I'm going to have to get used to.
A few notable moments from this week:
- J-cub going down for both naps and bedtime on Tuesday without a peep. He drank his bottle, I put him in the cot, and didn't hear another sound. No frantically trying to stay awake when he was shattered, no being practically asleep when I put him in the cot but wide awake and giggling 2 minutes later, no kicking and punching me, just blissful silence. Lovely.
- Having a lovely BLW-style lunch with a friend who's just started up her own blog. She's been having some troubles with weaning her lovely daughter Poppy, who is about a month younger than J-cub. Not wishing to offend, I made some gentle suggestions about trying a more BLW-style approach to solids, and it's been working really well for her. J-cub and Poppy enjoyed pitta bread/rice cake with houmous, chopped cherry tomatoes, nectarine and plum for lunch.
- Being brave enough to try baby group again, and having a lovely time. There were only 5 of us there, which made it not so intimidating. We talked birth stories (again), baby-wrangling on long journeys, setting up a book group, getting some padded flooring for the hall, and general baby nonsense. J-cub was a bit grumpy when we got there, but crawled around for a while until his requests for cuddles got more and more frequent, at which point I strapped him in the buggy and pushed him in circles (followed by the sole toddler there, who stayed so close to my heels that I nearly fell over him countless times) until he fell asleep (yay!). He slept for 35 minutes, then bounced back to life, playing happily until it was time to go. He happily transferred his requests for cuddles to the other babies, slightly baffling (or scaring) the little ones and cementing a new friendship with the toddler M by cuddling and kissing him whenever J-cub could catch him.
- Having an older (first-language Welsh) toddler come up to J-cub in the changing rooms at swimming saying "Babi, babi!" (baby, baby), J-cub turning to him and throwing his arms round him for a cuddle, with the toddler saying "Cwtch! Cwtch!" (cuddle, cuddle). So cute - and we had to prise them apart when it was time to get in the pool. We spent the whole lesson with shrieks of "Babi babi!" every time he came near us.
- J-cub eating a whole pear for his snack, leaving nothing but a tiny section of core and pips.
- Realising that J-cub now understands the meaning of the words: where, ball, catch, Tilly, Maeby, cat, duck, Jemaine (his giraffe), go, up, hello, bye-bye.
- J-cub very clearly saying "Duck!" when confronted with a duck. All other animals are "Ca!" (cat).
- J-cub climbing the stairs, bottom to top, entirely unaided. Over and over again ;)
- Receiving a lovely postcard and hand-drawn picture from Tammy at The Heartful Blogger, which she kindly sent me even though I didn't win one during her giveaway week. Her son, Jake, had an operation yesterday, and I'm so happy that it went smoothly and his recovery is going well.
All in all - a very good week.

Leveritt had objected to this rule earlier in seeking discipline of Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, then defending the convictions of the West Memphis Three, for not taking affirmative action in response to evidence of juror misconduct in one of the murder trials. The three have now been released, so the underlying legal issue is moot. Leveritt was warned against publicizing her complaint, but the committee has not taken legal action against her despite her public comments. She said she was informed by Stark Ligon, director of the committee, that the complaint about McDaniel had been dismissed because the committee didn't believe it had authority to take action against lawyers exercising discretion in publicly elected positions. Leveritt said the committee has cited no statute or rule supporting that point of view.
Leveritt said she also had complained about misconduct by Tom Cooper in the Little River county prosecution of Tim Howard, now on Death Row. Cooper is now a judge. Leveritt wrote extensviely for us about problems of handling DNA in the case and the prosecution's failure to disclose that to the defense. She said Ligon had told her that this complaint remained open because his conduct remained in issue in Tim Howard's appeal. It's unclear why official actions would be possibly subject to review in this case, but not in the West Memphis Three case.
Other regulatory agencies in Arkansas have similar non-disclosure rules, but none has ever been enforced to my knowledge. The Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission tells complainants they are not to talk about their complaints. The state Ethics Commission also advises complainants that complaints are to be kept confidential. "I consider it bullying," Leveritt said. It certainly prevents useful discussion of actions of public officials, even though they might be innocent of rule violations. The rule was invoked, for example, in early stages of complaints about former Circuit Judge Willard Proctor, but a number of people spoke on the record nonetheless. That contributed to the case on which he was ultimately removed from the bench.
A Pennsylvania gag rule — imposed by the state Ethics Commission — was held an unconstitutional infringement of free speech by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Leveritt's news release:
Today, Little Rock attorney Jeff Rosenzweig filed a civil rights lawsuit on my behalf in U.S. District Court. The defendants, sued only in their official capacities, are the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct and Stark Ligon, its executive director. The complaint asks the federal court to declare unconstitutional portions of the Arkansas Supreme Court's Procedures Regulating the Professional Conduct of Attorneys at Law (commonly called the "Procedures") and to bar any attempt to hold me in contempt under those procedures or punish me with a fine or jail. I am not an attorney.
The lawsuit arises from two letters I wrote this year to the committee, in which I questioned the actions of three Arkansas attorneys, two of whom are elected officials and one a senior appointed official. In both instances, I received a response from Ligon, warning me in a paragraph that was capitalized and in bold lettering that the procedures prohibited me from releasing "ANY INFORMATION OR DOCUMENTS" about my complaint "TO ANYONE, INCLUDING THE NEWS MEDIA." His letters added: "ANYONE VIOLATING THIS CONFIDENTIALITY MAY BE FOUND TO BE IN CONTEMPT OF THE COURT AND PUNISHED BY FINE OR JAIL." These statements are basically an accurate paraphrase of the procedures.
In the belief that these procedures are unconstitutional restraints on free speech, I published on my website key parts of the correspondence between me and the committee. In May, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that when Ligon was asked about those posts, he reiterated that I could be held in contempt of court—a crime—for publicizing the correspondence.
So far, no attempt has been made to enforce these procedures, although I assume that some process could be started at any time. I abhor this rule restricting a citizen's free speech about the conduct of public officials. I am appalled that an attack on a principle so basic as to be enshrined in the First Amendment should issue from this state's supreme court. I am particularly concerned that the court's procedures inhibit informed debate about persons who are or may become candidates for office.

Qualifying a Sales Opportunity
Most salespeople are quick to start their pitch to anyone that will listen. It's a big mistake that causes them to waste time creating proposals for people that will never buy. Instead, find out if these 4 simple conditions exist before you waste time on creating a proposal.
1. Does the prospect have a problem that you can solve?
2. Is the problem serious?
3. Does the prospect have to do something, or is the status quo okay?
4. Does the prospect have the necessary resources ($$$) to eliminate the problem?
Unless these 4 conditions exist, you really don't have much of a chance to make a sale. Think about it.

The Jasper Utilities Services Board was told Monday night of the Jasper Clean Energy Center's desire to terminate its lease of the now-idled Jasper power plant.
Attorney Bill Kaiser read a letter to the utilities board that included the Jasper Clean Energy Center's reasons for proceeding with the lease termination.
The reasons were all economical.
The energy center's Jay Catasein says plans to convert the power plant into a biomass burning facility is no longer financially viable.
He says the long-term projections are for natural gas prices to remain low. The low prices and the abundance of natural gas supplies are also making it more economical for coal burning power plants to convert to natural gas burning facilities thus lessening the need for alternative power plants like the Jasper Clean Energy Center.
Jasper utilities general manager Bud Hauersperger says this has prevented the Jasper Clean Energy Center to get a power purchase agreement with a power distribution company which Catasein has said in the past is needed to continue with his plans to convert the power plant into a natural gas/biomass burning facility. Hauersperger says the natural gas market has changed drastically in the last five years….
The City agreed to lease the power plant to Catasein and Jasper Clean Energy Center back in August of 2011. A more than two-and-a-half year legal battle over the legality of the lease recently was recently settled between the city and a local citizens group out of court.
City officials say the legal battle cost the City nearly $600,000 and the legal battle also prevented the city from collecting more than $400,000 in lease payments from the Jasper Clean Energy Center.
Hauersperger says the lease termination process will take about 60 days to complete.
Dr. Norma Kreilein and members of the Healthy Dubois County, Inc. group were in attendance at last night's city utilities board meeting. Says she and her group are still concerned about the city potentially going back to the biomass idea despite losing all this money in the lawsuit. She goes on to say that the reason for filing the lawsuit was to invalidate the lease. She says the lawsuit was the action that was needed to reverse the action."
She also says city officials including former mayor Bill Schmitt should never had signed the lease with Healthy Dubois County's legal action still ongoing. She says city officials deliberately did that so then they could blame Healthy Dubois County for costing the taxpayers money. She says, "there is absolutely no excuse for it."
Meanwhile, utilities board chairman Wayne Schuetter says the city will go back and look at the viability of the power plant when the lease is formally terminated June 20th.

Fdi in Retail
Government also increased the FDI limit in single-brand retail to 100% from 51% Government says it will benefit India.
Traders fear the move.
Opposition parties oppose the move as they know they will benefit if they support the traders.
No one is touching the real issues and accepting the truth that today or tomorrow FDI, big global corporations will enter into India directly or indirectly. Today world is becoming a global village.
Foreign Investment in India is governed by the FDI policy announced by the Government of India and the provision of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) 1999.
The foreign investors are free to invest in India, except few sectors/activities, where prior approval from the RBI or Foreign Investment Promotion Board ('FIPB') is required.
In franchising and commission agents' services, FDI (unless otherwise prohibited) is allowed with the approval of the Reserve Bank of India under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. Examples of Such Business - Pizza Hut or Nike or Spencer
100% FDI is allowed in wholesale trading.
Wholesalers do the business with the Retailers.
Wholesalers never do business with Consumers.
Few days back central government of India, Congress Government announced the cabinet decision to allow 51 percent FDI in retail that is multi brand. Is it good for the India to reject the FDI policy and direct investment in retail sector by the foreign brands? Does India and Indian citizens are ready for big brands when 70% Indians do not earn daily more than Rs. 20 a day. If you will see the history of foreign direct investment in India you will realize that India does not need any foreign funds. In past history when companies invested Rs. 10 Lakh in one year they made profits of 50 Lakhs or 1 Crore. India is a very big market
now Question is why Indian Government is opening the Retail sector for foreign brands?
Is it an idea to make people forget the Jan Lokpal Bill and in discussions of FDI never to pass the Jan Lokpal Bill and then put the blame on the opposition parties that they did not allow us to work in Parliament.
Who will benefit because of FDI policy of direct investment, Farmer or Consumer or builders and Indian Malls who are not in a competition to Indian Retailers?
Big owners of Indian Malls in future will sell their Malls to Foreign Brands and those rich owners will get the partnership as well as cash. they will make lot of Money because of FDI policy.
After 50 Years what will happen in India because of Foreign Direct Policy in Retail?
Regarding this no body can predict one thing we should understand that Big Rich Multinational Companies and Indian Rich People will be seen controlling the Retail market of India and which will decrease the small business shops.
Big Malls and Big retail chains are good for any honest Country but in corrupt nations the benefits do not reach to the poor people.
The benefits of such faulty FDI policy are enjoyed by Politicians,big business houses, rich people and their friends who introduce the laws like Jokepal for their citizens.
India does not have good and excellent laws like USA.
One example –
In USA if any American citizen hides his money in other country the FBI and IRS of USA see that that rich American Citizen goes to Jail. On the other hand Indian Government and laws do not even allow the Indian citizens [the slaves of India] to know the names of corrupt India who has kept the money in other countries. The Government knows the names but we Indians do not have right to know the names of Corrupt Rich Indians. Those corrupt Indians do not go to jail but they pay...

My little "Valentine's Tree" was actually quite simple to create and I even have the steps for you if you are interested in trying this out for yourself. Below is a photo close-up of the hearts. I curled all the tops of my hearts with my "Bone Folder" and then glued them in place one-by-one:
You only need a few supplies to complete one:
- Foam cone shape
- Ribbon (I used some retired ribbon)
- Straight Pins
- Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Hearts (I use the Hearts Framelits but you could use a heart punch)
- Designer Paper, (I used "More Amore")
- Cardstock (I used "Pool Party Core'dinations" and "Primrose Petals")
- Embossing Folders (I used "Perfect Polka Dots")
- Stampin' Dimensionals
Using the foam cone, add a piece of ribbon at the bottom using straight pins:
I first curled the top of my hearts using a Bone Folder and then placed the heart at the bottom of my cone so that the heart covered the whole bottom and overlapped onto my work surface. Scroll down to Step 2 to get the visual. Use a pencil to mark where the ribbon should be placed so that the heart can be glued to it in the next step.
Step 2:
Add a Stampin' Dimensional to the bottom of the heart which now becomes the top of your heart. Glue in place onto your ribbon:
Step 3:
Continue gluing your hearts in place, alternating patterns and cardstocks until the first row is covered. Overlap your hearts to cover as much of the cone as you can:
I used a Stampin' Sanding Block on my Pool Party Core'dintaions Paper and I used the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder on my Primrose Petals Cardstock.
Step 4:
Repeat adding ribbon and adding hearts as shown:
Keep working away at your layers. It really does go quicker than it looks as each layers requires less hearts:
Step 5:
Once you get to the top, here is how I created the topper. I curled 4 hearts and glued them together by gluing the sides:
Step 6:
Add hot glue to the very tip of your cone and a little onto the top of the hearts as shown:
Step 7:
Add topper to the hot glue and press in place for a few minutes:
I added flowers to the top hearts by cutting individual flowers from the "5/8" Flower Trim":

Your wedding is no one else's aside from yours.And in today's society, brides have been constantly scouring every guide for any solution to make their wedding as personal and as distinctive as possible. A way to do this is to whip up your own wedding vows.
Traditionally, couples to be wed do not have a lot of a speech in what goes into most of the words spoken in the course of the wedding ceremony. Right now, it is increasingly getting simpler to personalize and influence what is said in the course of the ceremony – in reasonable bounds, though.
In case you want to make your wedding vows distinctive and personal, you are not alone. Many different couples incorporate emotions, and intimate messages into their wedding vows. It has an added style of making your wedding more touching, dramatic, and unforgettable.
Talk with the Officiant Ahead of Time
If you want to personalize your wedding vows, first notify your Officiant to find out the legalities, guidelines and rules in drafting your special wedding vows. She or he will in general give guidelines and examples to help you draw up your personal vows. In addition, the Officiant will notify you of the parts of the vow which are expected to be said.
The Subject
It could include promises, like "I'll promise upon my life to do …" or it could be heartfelt messages for one another, or even hopes for each other plans for the future and such. You may also opt to make a combination of each to boost your wedding vows. Though norms differ from tradition to tradition, as a general rule, the wedding vow shouldn't take too lengthy to recite. Keep it concise but meaningful. Bear in mind, you'll have to say this, and lengthy recitations are likely to make the memory suffer.
Make it Official
After making a draft of the vows you wish to trade, it will do effectively to meet up with the Officiant again and show him a sketch of your vows. Although ultimately, it's eventually your choice that's followed, do take heed of the Officiant's advice, as it's usually sound and has been honed by experience.
Put into practice
It is a good idea to recite your vows before the wedding. Although there is no rule against reading vows, a totally practiced, heartfelt rendition of the vow will certainly make a long-lasting impact in your partner and the families witnessing the ceremony. As pointed out earlier, keep away from overly lengthy vows as they are typically much less remembered and are difficult to memorize, not to mention somewhat inconvenient to others. You may accomplish that, nonetheless, if you feel the need is justified.
The Performance
When reciting your vows during the wedding, always maintain calm. People who find themselves tense have a tendency to speak too quick, and because the wedding vow is a very significant part of the wedding, it would be best to take your time within the spotlight. Loosen up, so in case you fail to remember a line or two during the trade of vows, you'll at least have the ability to bounce back with feel out of your heart. For those who need so, you might also hold a written version of you vows with you. You may wish to read it surreptitiously though.
Good luck on your wedding, and may the special phrases you utter in the course of the trade of vows not lose their meaning for remainder of your days! Hopefully the whole significant words will remain with all the brides and grooms on that special day.
Wedding images are very special memories where the married couple and their children will feel and see how the rest of their life started out. That is why hiring a professional wedding photographer is one of the crucial important thing on your wedding day. Take a look at some of the pictures of lovely weddings from one of the best affordable wedding photographers and find out more more article on Wedding photographers los angeles.

I honestly wasn't prepared for how amazing this workshop was going to be, everything from the shoots to the information was perfect. I absolutely mean it when I say this was the best decision I could have made for my business. I'm seeing so much growth in myself and my business and for the first time in forever I am actually passionate about my photography and creating more art.
Jake's workshop was one of the single best decisions I made for my business. It's so easy to get lost in the crowd and lose your voice, being an attendee at this workshop helped me discover who I am as an artist and business owner. Those few days were filled to the brim with incredible information, gorgeous shoots, and amazing people. Not to mention the food was out of this world! I had been nervous that I would leave the workshop feeling nervous to step out on my own but I ended up leaving with my heart and mind completely filled with hope and motivation to change my art and my business into what I had always imagined it could be. We were all successfully taught how to grow as artists and business owners and even months after finishing the workshop I am still finding it easy to discover and pursue my style as an artist. Jake and his wonderful wife Leah are some of the most kind and talented people in the industry. Jake was an open book and never hesitated to answer questions or instruct us when we needed help. More importantly, all of Jake's teachings never faded away. Everything he spoke about still continues to stick and help me find my direction as a photographer. Having the opportunity to learn from Jake and to photograph alongside him was one of the most influential moments in my career; I never could have imagined how positive the impact this workshop was going to be. If you're considering this workshop, please don't hesitate because it was more than worth it!
- Samantha Storteky
Since attending Jake Anderson's workshop I have noticed so much personal growth and also a lot of business growth. After the workshop I raised my wedding package, then in the following months booked five weddings with couples who said I stood out from the crowd after seeing my portfolio. The portfolio building shoots at the workshop were top notch and have added so much beauty to my site. Beyond the beauty I am so much more confident shooting intimate moments, close ups of couples kissing, embracing and being themselves. I was always a bit shy to ask them to be close like that. Jake lets you in on everything you could ever want to know. I left feeling a bit surprised he told us so much, but quickly realized, he is a teacher, he wants you to succeed!
- Crystal Blackledge
Jake Anderson's workshop was such a dream from beginning to end. Jake was quick and friendly when first approaching him; he made everything easy and comfortable for my first time taking a workshop. Upon arriving at the workshop I was completely blown away, every single detail was perfect. Jake really takes the time to make sure expectations are being exceeded, and that is exactly what I felt. The value included in his workshop was incredible, and was beyond my expectations. The styling was amazing, from the clothing right through to the invite suites, dinners and table scapes. Beyond the shooting aspect, there was also so much learning packed into his workshop and Jake really didn't hold anything back, which is so refreshing. Naturally, he's a teacher so he's very good at being clear and efficient with his knowledge; I feel like I left his workshop ready to tackle the industry with confidence. Jake was so humble and generous in his teaching, and he genuinely cares about our learning. We could ask him anything in the safe environment he created which allowed us to grow drastically in the short time of the workshop. I would absolutely attend another workshop of Jake's in the future and it comes highly recommended to anyone who may be considering. He keeps the groups reasonably sized so that everyone can feel involved and really get the most out of this experience. I left Jaworkshops with new friends and a better understanding of the industry and the direction I wanted to go with my brand and I can't thank you enough Jake. Watching myself and my business grow in the past few months since attending the workshop has really just been such a blessing and I attribute that success to what I learned here.
- Evelyn Barkey
I attended Jake's Catskill workshop in January, and was impressed with the entire experience. Each component of the weekend was amazing; the venue was perfect, the styling and florals were impeccable, and the food was incredible. Jake's passion for teaching and for photography were a driving force the entire weekend, and were so inspiring to learn from.
I chose to attend Jake's workshop as I've always connected with his emphasis on simplicity and human interaction in his work, and the shooting and teaching sessions aligned closely with his approach. We had the opportunity to photograph a real couple, as well as models and two beautifully styled tablescapes. It was a joy to watch Jake, Lacy and Kelly collaborate and create amazingly unique vignettes for us to work with. Jake was very open in sharing every detail of his workflow, from how he meters film, to film stock selection and package information, as well as his thought process behind working with a couple. Lacy and Kelly were warm, wonderful to work with, and are both incredibly talented. The weekend was a great mix of active shooting time, and instructional "classroom" time.Beth LaDuca
I would highly recommend attending Jake's workshop! It was a wonderful opportunity to push myself creatively, and to refine and clarify my own voice. I think every artist struggles to find the right balance between creating work that is fulfilling and managing client expectations; my biggest takeaway from Jake's workshop is to remember to take a moment to step back, settle yourself, and document a couples relationship with honestly and simplicity. If you have the opportunity to attend one of Jake's workshops, don't hesitate! It's a wonderful chance to learn, grow and refresh."

Welcome back after a long hiatus!
Let's get back to some forecasts...
Silhana Ledgewalker is the next-best elusive nucleus for Green-White Auras in Modern after Slippery Bogle (which is now a $3.00 common, and a $20 foil).
I'm mostly interested in Foils here, as this is role-player common from a long-ago set. You can scoop up Foils around $2.50 apiece, and they'll keep for years. They'll spike to $15, then fall to $10 within the next few months, likely after a precursor non-foil spike. This could be very easily Commander-ed, and they've yet to see a reprint after 10 years of being almost-on-the-radar, so I feel safer with the shinies.
However, non-Foils can be picked up under $0.50 apiece right now. These are fantastic short-range "penny stocks", as they will likely jump to $1.50 apiece within the next couple of months. Short-range to Mid-range pickup.

Kapur, J.
1. This is a rule directed against the order of Mr. Harnarain Singh, Magistrate, First Class, Gurgaon, whereby he issued process against the petitioners. A petition for quashing of proceedings in the Court of the learned Magistrate has been filed in this Court Under Section C61A, Criminal P.C.
2. The facts which have led to this petition are that on 18th May 1918, the respondent Bhagwat Pershad Mangla insured a truck with the Sentinel Assurance Company Ltd., for RSection 15,000. On 18th November 1948, this truck is alleged to have caught fire and was damaged. A claim waa made by the insured for the amount and on 13th December 1948, the Zonal Secretary of the company at New Delhi, H. P. Bhattacharjee, wrote a letter to the insured confirming a telegram which was in the following terms: 'Arrange transportation accidented truck 450 Premnath Motors, Scindhiahouse New Delhi.' The letter went on to say 'we may add that we shall pay you reasonable expenses (within the provisions of the policy) towards your cost for this work.' On 16th December 1918, K. S. Javeri, General Manager of this company wrote a letter in which inter alia it is stated that the Delhi office has been instructed to remove the truck to Messrs. Prem Nath Motors for repairs, and it ended up by Saying 'we hope that you will have already removed the truck accordingly.' On 16th January 1949, another letter was written by the General Manager, K. S. Javari, in which it was said 'The same will be made over to you after repairs against issue of the necessary satisfaction note by you.' On 16th February 1949, the company repudiated the claim of the complainant for Rs. 245.5-0 which perhaps was for the salvage . and transportation cost of the truck. On 12th Maroh 1949, in terms of the policy there was some kind of reference to arbitration which fell through and on 2lst July 1949, Bhagwat Per-shad Mangla filed a complaint in the Court of a Magistrate in Gurgaon in which he narrated most of these facts and also referred to the letter of 18th December 1918, in which the company had promised to pay reasonable expenses 'within the provisions of the policy.'
3. In para 6 of the complaint it is stated :
Accordingly on the representation contained in letter dated 13th December 1948, wo transported the truck to Prem Nath Motors, New Delhi, and ae required in the said letter submitted a bill for Rs. 245-5-0 for the work, made several demands butthe accused always put off the matter. Aooused 1 also admitted in his letter dated 15th January 1948 that acoording to policy conditions the truck in question had been handed to Prem Nath Motors Ltd., for repairs and the same would be returned to us after it had been repaired to our satisfaction.
In para. 7 the allegation ia that the accused had dishonest intention from the very start and they had refused to pay the money, and in para. 8 it is alleged that had the accused not deceived the complainant by saying that they would incur the cost for transporting the truck, to Delhi, the complainant would never have taken the truck to Delhi for repairs.
4. The complainant was then examined on 22nd July 1949 and a process was issued to the three accused persons. On 10th August 1949, Mr. Ishwar Dass Khanna, Advocate, filed an application Under Section 205, Sub-section (1), Criminal P.C. praying for exemption from personal attendance in Court of all the three accused. On that occasion, H. P. Bhattacharjee, accused 3 was present but apparently without going into the matter and without applying his mind to the subject-matter of the dispute, the learned Magistrate passed an order 'To put up after all the accused appear in Court.' I cannot understand why the learned Magistrate could not decide this matter without the appearance of the accused persons in Court. After all they were at least apparently respectable persona and the matter involved was a small one and the dispute was more between the company and the complainant than between individual officers of the company. This shows that the learned Magistrate was not prepared to apply his mind to the subject-matter of the dispute and passed an order without carefully considering the matter.
5. On 23rd August 1949, a petition was filed in this Court for quashing of proceedings Under Section 5614, Criminal P.C. I have heard the learned advocate for the three petitioners, who are officers holding various officers in the Sentinel Assurance Company Ltd. After going through the complaint and the statement of the complainant and also having read the terms of the policy, I do not find that any offence under the Penal Code has been made out against the petitioners. All that they asked the complainant was that he should remove the damaged truck to Delhi and that the company would pay for transportation charges but they seem to have been careful to add that the expenses will be 'within the provisions of the policy.' Now it may be that they may have interpreted the' policy in this particular manner that they were not bound to pay the transportation charges if the claim itself was repudiated. Whether they were right or wrong is not a question which was for the criminal Court to decide. The fact remains that there wa3 a refusal to pay because according to the way these gentlemen read the policy they thought that they were not bound to pay. I may here reproduce Clause s of Section 1 of the policy which says:
3. In the event of the Motor Vehicle being disabled by reason of loss or damage covered under this policy the company will bear the oost of proteotion and removal to the nearest repairs and of the re-delivery to the insured but not exceeding in all RSection 150 in respect of any one accident.
Now words to be marked in this are 'loss or damage covered under this policy.' It is quite possible that they may have interpreted those words as qualifying their liability to pay for the transportation of the damaged vehicle and in any case, they were not bound to pay more than RSection 150. Nothing has been shown either in the complaint or in the letters which would lead me to believe that any offence has been committed or the intention from the very beginning was not to pay the cost of transportation.
6. Although the company does not accept any liability either for the loss or damage to-the vehicle or for transportation of the vehicle to Prem Nath Motors Ltd., the advocate for the company has given a cheque for RSection 160 in the name of the insured not in acceptance of any liability but just to cover the cost of transportation which the respondent might have thought he was entitled to.
7. As I have said before, the complaint does not disclose the commission of any offence and I would like to add that in cases of this kind criminal Courts should act with the greatest amount of care and caution because unless they are very careful, process of criminal Courts is likely to be abused and many respectable persons may thus become the victims of harassment by complainants who imagine that it is easier to recover dues through criminal Courts than through civil Courts. I would also like to draw the attention of the learned Magistrate that various sections of the Criminal Procedure Code are meant to be used in favour of the citizen and for furtherance of justice and not as a means of pressure.
8. In the result, I allow this petition and quash the order of the learned Magistrate issuing process against the accused. The rule is made absolute,

I Love Steno The Student Edition: Practice Your Read Back From A Tablet, Smart Phone, etc.
With computer-aided transcription, gone are the days when court reporters have to read back from paper notes. When I first started court reporting school, I used an Stentura Protégé. In transit, I would read back from my paper notes for practice. More than a couple of times I dropped my accordion-like arrangements of notes. I won't even get into the horrors of seeing my notes flying in the wind. LOL.
I still incorporate steno read back into my daily practice routine. However, I've found an easier way to carry my notes with me for my quick, in-transit study sessions.
I now save my steno notes as PDF files on my tablet for easier transport and manageability. If you save your files as PDFs you can drop them into any one of your devices that contain an PDF file reader.
Below are instructions for converting your steno files into PDFs.
Happy practicing.
How To Convert Steno Notes To PDF:
1. From the Manage Notes function, press Ctrl + p (or, the Print icon). The Print dialog box displays.
2. In the Printer Name field, select Stenograph PDF Printer.
3. Check the box Print to file. NOTE: If you don't check this box, an error message will appear when you attempt to print the file.
4. Press Enter. The Print to File dialog box will display.
5. Select the location to where you want to save the PDF file. Then type a file name.
6. Press Enter (Save).
Love, Speed & Accuracy,

Whether you are producing iron or steel castings Blastman robot offers the optimal solution for thorough cleaning and perfect surface preparation of your cast products. The benefits are the biggest when applying Blastman robot to large and heavy weight castings.
Increased efficiency
Robotized blast cleaning is the most efficient and cost-effective method of removing burnt-on moulding sand and oxide layers from the surface of heavyweight castings. Blastman robot has the capability to thoroughly clean the most complex castings eliminating the need for manual touch-up. Blastman robot produces exactly the desired surface roughness and profile for subsequent top quality painting finish.
Greatly reduced operating costs
Both the operating and maintenance cost of a Blastman robot are very low thanks to minimized manpower, optimized use of consumables, very high reliability and elimination of scaffolding. Abrasive consumption of the Blastman robot blasting is significantly lower than by cleaning with traditional wheel blast machine.

NipstadsMarschen in Sollefteå 2005
What can I tell you about the NipstadsMarschen , well I can tell you this ,
its a nice three day event what is only organized for a couple off years now , so its a very new walking event.
The start is every day from the camping Risön who is situated on the river in the middle off Sollefteå.
It begins on Friday evening around 18.00 with a small stage off 10 km.
The first stage shows you already the nice area around Sollefteå where you are and that's very hilly with lots off forest and
with this very nice river Ångermanälven going through. The next morning it really starts with a stage off 30 km,
this stage brings you again through the woods and when you reach one off the control posts,
where you can also get something to drink and eat , you have a beautiful view on a little lake.
When you walk here sometimes the path is not wider then 40 cm ,and that makes it so fun to walk here,
you have the feeling that you are in the middle off nowhere far from the busy world and stress.
This is so relaxing even when you walking 30 km ,you walk this route by following the
ribbons hanging in trees or when you walk through the city they hang on fences or street signs.
On the way back in the second stage you are walking a part on the local ski slopes,
with on one off the hills a old wooden ski jump, from there you go down and pass a practice area for biathlon athletes,
after this you reaches the city again by crossing the 3 year old bridge Ångermannabron and walk down next to the river and
cross again the river over the waterpower plant to come out again on the camping site where's something to eat and drink.
During this walking event the food and drinks are also free.
On Saturday evening the organizers off the Nipstadsmarsch have reserved some tables in a local restaurant where you can have
dinner with the other participants (this is on your own account) and share some experience off the day with the other walkers.
After a good night rest the next stage starts Sunday morning at 08.00 and you go for the last 22 km,
I like this one the most because you are walking a big part next to the river Ångermanälven and sometimes its so close
that when you put your feed not on the path your ending up in the river (Gladly not happen to me).
After the river you go a short piece over the road and suddenly again into the forest where you go uphill and end up at
Österåsens Hälsohem a rest home where you have a marvelous view on the river and the rest off the area.
From there you go down the way you came up and do you pass the local hospital (this is where the people work who organized
this event) to finally come out again on the camping site. I had a very good time those days and not just because off the
weather or the landscape but also the company I had from this Swedish lady I walked with those three days.
This walk was most off the time over unpaved forest-road and gravel paths and small pieces off paved road,
you good make a choice to walk on Friday 10 km ,Saturday 6 , 12 of 30 km en Sunday 6 , 12 of 22 km.
The number off people walking was not much this time, there where around 50 participants,
but that's makes it also fun to do this.
You can do this in the 3rd weekend off August.
See you there.
NipstadsMarschen in Sollefteå 2009
This year I went back to Sollefteå to walk for the second time the Nipstadsmarschen.
It was almost the same as the other year, they only changed the routes a little so it was shorter.
We started on Friday with rain but it was only 10 Km.
Saturday started also with rain but during the walk it stopped and good we put the rain clothing away.
On this second day we followed the Nipleden route, this is a existing route you can always walk,
total length is 27 Km and you walk a big part next to the Ångermanälven river.
Its not a flat route there are some nasty hills to take and you feel that good in your legs.
But when you on top of the hill you have a beautiful view on Sollefteå.
Saterday evening it was again nice dining in a restaurant in the city with other walkers.
The last day it was already early in the morning nice weather so you good walk in a t-shirt.
This day showed you another part of Sollefteå, att 1 off the control points you good sit att a campfire in a open shelter nearby a small lake,
there you good eat a nice sandwitch and drink a cup off tea or koffie or a bowl off fruitsoup.
From there you walk throught the forrest to the local ski area called Hallstaberget,
here you cross the skislopes and are you walking in the direction of the camping were it all started that day.
I enjoyed myself again with the people and the surroundings you see and next year I think I'll go back
because they have the 10th annevirsary off this walking event.
A good combination to walk something else is one week later the Saga Marsjen in Norway,
its on the same highed on the map only 365 Km to the west.
This walk was most off the time over unpaved forest-road and gravel paths and small pieces off paved road,
you good make a choice to walk on Friday 10 km ,Saturday 6 , 12 of 27 km en Sunday 6 , 12 of 23 km.
The number off people walking was not much but that's makes it also fun to do this.
This time, there where around 80 participants, spread over the 3 days.
You can do this in the 3rd weekend off August.
So see maybe next year.
Over here a small movie taken from Hallstaberget :
NipstadsMarschen in Sollefteå 2011
After skip for one year this event I went back to Sweden to walk for the third time this Nipstadsmarsch.
It still good to come back here in this lovely town where Ångermanälven runs right through.
The routes stay's like with many walking events almost the same, so there are no surprises.
So it depends on the weather and how many people will show up for this walkingevent how it will be this year.
Despite it was the tenth time it was held there where not many people who showed up, how this come I don't know.
There are posters and they advertised in local newspapers and also on the national Swedish walking site.
The weather was not the problem this time because that was perfect for walking.
I've enjoyed it again at the 10 Km on Friday , the 27 Km on Saturday and at the 23 Km Sunday and
then of course the dinner in the campsite restaurant with 17 of the other walkers.
This is a nice touch that only can be arranged at a small event like this,
How would that be during the 4 days of Nijmegen with more than 40,000 walkers, and they all have dinner together.
I will definitely come back here to go walking again and if you like it you can combine this small walking event with
the Vasaan Marsi in Finland one weekend earlier or Sagamarsjen in Norway thats held one weekend later.
If you really wanna go crazy you just do all three in one holiday, you immediately see some of the nice nature of Scandinavia to.
Maybe I'm going to do that next year?

Following the execution of two Australian citizens in Indonesia, there has been an outpouring of grief and anger by many Australians. Our Prime Minister has recalled our ambassador to Indonesia and made some veiled threats about aid and cooperation between Australia and Indonesia.
Through the online forums, calls have been made for Australians to boycott Bali as a holiday destination. Understandably, Indonesians have called for a boycott of Australia.
One of my friends has just booked a flight to Bali in July. She may well be rattled going through immigration and customs at Denpassar airport.
Australia's beef cattle exports may well be terminated and cooperation on people smuggling through Indonesia to Australia may be over.
The two Australians executed were drug traffickers, not into Indonesia, but out of Indonesia to Australia. The Australian Federal Police tipped off Indonesian customs officials in Bali and 9 Australians including the two ring leaders, were caught with 8.3kg of heroin strapped to their bodies. An investigation is currently looking into how the AFP caused the Bali 9 to be arrested in a country which has the death penalty for drug smuggling. Had they been arrested upon arrival in Australia they would have been jailed, but not executed. The rest of the traffickers are still in prison after 10 years of life sentences.
Executions are carried out in many countries still. Click here for info on other countries still practising capital punishment.

Oh wow, I'm excited. Mono Gods, a lot more unpredictability. Some cool models, some bad models. rules changes, not really sure about, but should be fun.
It's Daemons Jim, but not as we know it.
The important thing is to wipe the slate clean and forget everything you once knew about daemons because it has all changed. It's not 100% reliable as before. There are some nastier things in the book but they are a whole lot more randomer...and you pay for them.
Things to keep in mind, going to need more furies, lots more, They are the only really mobile chaff and you can raise even more of them every phase. and Lots more daemons from the Damon lore attributes.
Going to need a stack of extra daemons. I feel like a VC general.
Random Charts. Cross between Warriors and Orcs& Goblins on Speed.
If Nurgle lore is the same as WoC book it means there are a lot of inbuilt augments/hexes and taking a level 4 GUO would maybe be a good boon for.
GUO level 4 lots of gifts
Nurgle BSB
Nurgle Herald
2 units of Plaguebearers
3 Beasts of Nurgle Chaff
2 x 5 Drones
Slaaneshi maybe interesting as the Slaaneshi lore is pretty good.
2 x Herald of Slaanesh(BSB)
2 x 40 Daemonettes
2 Chariots
1 unit of 3 fiends
Exalted chariot
2 units of 5-10 seekers
Khorne list should pack some punch, but need to maneouvre to break enemies and get combined charges off.
2 Skullcannons
2 Heralds 1BSB
2 units of Lettters
2 units of 5 Fleshounds with ambusd
3 x 5 Furies
Tzeentch will be fun with the Str6 shennigans
3 heralds of Tzeentch
3 units of 30 Horrors
2 Flaming Chariots
2 x 3 Screamers
Maybe some flamers (I have 20)
Or go with a mix of what seems to be the strongest. GUO is T7 but still susceptable to cannon fire. Breath weapon spell will help in combat, maybe even giving the heralds the breath weapon as well to add in a lot more hits in close combat. -1 to hit in close combat is by far the best attribute there is.
GUO level 4
2 Heralds of Nurgle
2 Plaguebearer units,
2 Skull cannons
3 Beasts of Nurgle
3 Units of Furies.
1 unit of 3-5 drones
and whatever else fits.
I've got most of the miniatures to do all 3 and know what I need to get so I can finally finish off my Chaos Daemons army.
2 x30 daemonettes plus filler
2x 20 Plaguebearers plus filler
1 x 5 seekers
20+ Furies (avatars of war here I come)
2 sKull Kannons(Konversions of Kourse)
2 x 3 Drones
4 Chariots of Slaanesh kits
2 Flaming chariots of Tzeentch
Maybe. I like the book and may even try 3 Hordes of Bloodletters with Heralds and 2 cannons, it's only 174 points more expensive than it was before and the Skull Cannons make up for it in what they probably should have costed. They are underpriced but so is most of the Skaven stuff, bloodletters should have maybe fgone up 1 point but as they are they're not as good as plaguebearers. In the end it's not a point and click as it was and requires thinking on one's feet. Overall I like it. Could have done with some mundane magic items and more tailored gifts...*sigh*. Stop the press, you can choose from the BRB a magic weapon up to the value of the gift if you don't like the gift you roll.
Chaos is Fickle.

figueira da foz
This time last year I made the first of my many trips to Figueira da Foz. Figueira is only about an hour on the train away from Coimbra (where I lived), so what could be better on a day off than going to the beach! Now looking out thew window to a gloomy, rainy day in Finland, it's a bit bittersweet thinking about Portugal.
I remember this day so well, because it was just the beginning of April and sitting on the terrace of a café, drinking ice tea (Portuguese people seem to love ice tea and drink it all the time - I miss that!), I was telling my friend (and then-housemate) how it felt like summer already and how wild that was. I genuinely would have gone swimming, and basically did as once I stepped into water (photo above) and while wading on the beach to see how warm the water was I got drenched by a wave. But that was fine since it was warm enough for my skirt to dry in about ten minutes.
Figueira is a rather small city, but becomes busier in the summer season with both tourists and all the locals escaping the inland heat. But this was still spring and it was all lovely and relatively quiet. There's lots of little Portuguese cafés/restaurants to have lunch at - or have an ice tea, haha. Although, the only one I've been to multiple times is 100 Montaditos, which is actually Spanish but serves cute and cheap tapas-style sandwiches, sangria and beer. You very much go to Figueira to go to the beach, but there's also other things you could do: taking a boat on the river, getting out of the city on some hiking trails, and there's also a casino and probably other things I don't know about. But I've basically just been to the beach. Next to the beach is the Santa Catarina Fortress, which can be a bit underwhelming but still worth seeing and apparently sometimes has events and fairs that we happened to miss. And like anywhere in Portugal, there's always pretty architecture to spot, so I'd recommend checking out the city centre/old town at least to get a glimpse. My favourite was definitely the Castelo das Conchas that is next to the beach - how cute are all those seashells decorating the building! I kind of miss Portugal.

Chinese on the Train
From 1978 to 2014, Wang Fuchun took the train hundreds of times, traveling more than 100,000 kilometers. This famous Chinese photographer shot about 10,000 photos, recording Chinese people's diverse lives as they traveled by train. This book features 114 pictures he shot during the 1980s and 1990s, of which 37 have never before been published.
Wang was a railway worker. This experience gave him a special affection for the railways. His camera was always drawn to trains and their passengers. The black and white pictures in his book record unique characteristics of the period shortly after the reform and opening-up policies were launched: old-style mobile phones, permed hair and T-shirts printed with portraits of movie stars began to be seen in public. His photos also capture moments of Chinese life during a trip: children weeping while seeing someone off, a peddler hawking goods and the departure moment of couples. People from many distant places in China have met on trains, temporarily, among them was a photographer hunting for any interesting moment. A seemingly normal look or behavior can carry rich meaning. His diverse pictures introduced a China flowing on the railway.
Wang wrote in the preface of the book: "I recorded my feelings about the unforgettable history of China's railway at the end of last century with those pictures. I felt lucky to be attached to the railway and have the chance to shoot the changing times from this perspective and witness the remarkable changes on China's railway since the beginning of the country's reform and opening up."
Yang Shaoming, chairman of the Society of Worldwide Ethnic Chinese Photographers, opines that Chinese on the Train is emblematic of China's migrating society. It also mirrors the development of Chinese society. In a way, Wang X-rayed society and life with the third eye of the human being. Vivid, authentic, and accurate, those pictures not just gain interest and sympathy among readers, but they are also valuable records of history. The vivid pictures were captured solely thanks to his passion over a long period of time, without pay. He is clearly a key witness to the era since the country began its reform and opening up.
Wang is now a freelance photographer living in Beijing. He graduated with a photography degree from Harbin Normal University in the 1960s. Wang once served as a photographer and editor for Harbin's Institute of Railways. He is a member of the Society of Worldwide Ethnic Chinese Photographers and the China Photographers Association. He has shot many photographic series including Chinese on the Train, China's Steam Locomotives, Chinese in the Subway, Tibetans on the Way to Heaven, and Pictures of Chinese People in 30 Years. He has won the Golden Statue Award, the top prize for photography in China. His works have been exhibited in countries including Britain, France, and Italy.

To alleviate stress from Electromagnetic Smog
Tesla's Energy Harmonizers
Harmonizing the Negative Effects from EMF, EMR & Geopathic Stress
EMF Exposure Increase Suicide Risk
Posted By Dr. Mercola | August 13 2000
This study examined mortality from suicide in relation to estimated exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and found a significant increase in the risk of suicide.
studied 138,905 male electric utility workers.
*They found a more than doubled risk with electricians and an almost 60% increase in line workers.
* Even stronger associations, up to a 3.5-fold increase, were found in men younger than 50.
The authors state that "These data provide evidence for an association between occupational electromagnetic fields and suicide that warrants further evaluation." They hypothesize that this link has something to do with disturbing melatonin secretion or metabolism.
Western Jounal of Medicine August 2000;173:94-100
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Follow me on twitter Follow me on facebook
There is no question that EMF exposure should be avoided as much as possible. The practical issue is to determine how to avoid it. I have recently located some relatively inexpensive gauss meters which only cost $40 (800-497-9516). I have absolutely no connection with this firm and if anyone has a better and less expensive device I would be glad to post that information. Generally, one should try to keep exposures as low as possible. Ideally, your sleeping environment and regular sitting places should be less than 0.3 milligauss.

Barclays star Roger Jenkins back hunting for banks
ROGER JENKINS, the former high-flying Barclays executive, is plotting a series of deals focused on Ireland's troubled banks.
He is working on plans to buy portfolios of distressed loans or property assets that are currently destined to fall into the hands of the Irish government. Jenkins is also examining the possibility of leading the refinancing of one of the Irish banks, possibly with Middle Eastern backing.
The financier, who set up the £7 billion refinancing of Barclays at the peak of the credit crunch, has launched an advisory firm in Dublin called Elkstone Capital.
It is Jenkins's first project since his unexpected departure from the bank last summer. Elkstone is examining opportunities in a number of sectors around the world, but Ireland is the initial…

On November 12th I had the top of my head opened and magical fairy dust sprinkled inside.
Yes, I went to my first TED event!
TED-ward Bound
If you unfamiliar with the Technology, Education, and Design events – TED for short – they started as a day-long series of talks on a wide range of subjects by the most fascinating people in each discipline. Physicians talked of amazing breakthroughs in understanding the body; technologists demonstrated prototypes of spellbinding new technologies; and artists, musicians, comedians, magicians, and other performers used their skills to tell a wide range of stories.
The audience was an invite-only group of the best, brightest, and powerful. They attended the event, learned things, made connections, and left the event inspired to do great things.
The model of TED proved so successful that the organizers allowed people to start local TED events, and called them TEDx. These have become a bit like the semi-finals in pro sports. The best and brightest of the local TEDx events are sometimes invited to present at what is commonly known as "The Big TED", which happens once a year in Long Beach, California.
TEDxRainier was the TEDx event in Seattle this year, held on November 12th at Kane Hall on the University of Washington campus. (Videos from the event should be up on the site after December 1, 2011. I'm in the front row, left of center, wearing the hat and vest!)
The speakers this year ranged from innovators to philanthropists, from technology geeks to religious leaders, from musicians to photographers, and from a fledgling auto manufacturer to a librarian. And pretty much everything in between, too.
Being an "x" event, all the presentations did not match the quality of the Big TED, but there was still plenty of fairy dust sprinkled on my brain by the 27 different presentations.
The Importance of Story Telling
The essence of any TED event is exquisite story telling. If you watch a few of the TED talks online you will notice a pattern to how the stories are presented, how the presenter speaks, the simple body motions, etc. The majority of these people – if not natural story tellers to begin with – have developed their ability with time and practice.
The reason why so many of the presentations – regardless of topic – are so good, is because of the story telling. The fascinating tapestry being woven together from numerous interesting threads.
It has been my dream to one day give a talk at TED. And being there on November 12th I saw some amazing presentations and some amazingly bad ones as well. But even the "bad" ones were only "bad" in the rarefied air of TED. Any of these presentations would have blown away the typical conference or tradeshow presentation.
Watch and Learn
To see the brilliance of good story telling and to learn what makes a good story, watch TED talks. Here are a couple to get you started:
Majora Carter – Greening The Ghetto
Jill Bolte-Taylor – Stroke of Insight
As Steve Jobs so eloquently put it, "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

According to the Department of Homeland Security, human trafficking can be described as "modern-day slavery and involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act". Globally, it's estimated that there are 40.3 million victims of the crime, which contribute to the $150 billion industry.
Human trafficking affects our citizens and our communities. In light of National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month this past January, we felt it was appropriate to explore the terrible effects this industry presents, and provide information on how victims can find the help they need.
Human Trafficking: A Threat to the Community
Human trafficking affects both the community that people are taken from, and the community that they are brought to. Frequently, victims of human trafficking are intentionally isolated by their captors to ensure their inability to reach out for help. When individuals are removed from their homes, their communities, and sometimes even their countries, they're often unable to engage socially due to language barriers, lack of cultural understanding, and/or geographic location. The communities losing these people are equally affected, left with a painful reminder of a devastating event.
Human Trafficking: A Threat to the Economy
Due to an increasingly competitive global market, cheap labor has become a prized commodity and has helped the human trafficking industry become increasingly profitable. When markets become reliant on an inexpensive workforce, the demand for cheap goods rises, drives up the market for modern-day slaves, and keeps the industry alive and thriving.
Human Trafficking: A Threat to Health
Lastly, and perhaps most heartbreakingly, human trafficking is devastating to its victims' physical, emotional, and mental health. Captors use both physical and psychological violence to ensure obedience and to prevent individuals from speaking out or attempting to escape. This atrocious treatment can lead to chronic and long-lasting trauma, which is incredibly difficult to overcome.
Finding Support
Organizations all over the world are working diligently to eradicate this deplorable practice, and the ICE Foundation is proud to be contributing as well. The Granting Courage Initiative helps men and women who have suffered at the hands of human traffickers to survive and thrive. If you know someone who could benefit from the scholarship, get in touch to help start the healing process.
