Nimfa is a cutie ! Her nipples are indeed amazing. It reminds me of my first girlfriend - very young - ... Her
breasts are more perky and firm than my fingers expected ....
Look at pics 61-64. That pillow- Closer... closer... closer...
I'm a Nimfa-maniac. ;-)
Good one!
I'd like to be kneeling beside that bed with Nimfa's ass hanging over the edge and waiting to be rimmed, I'd be happy with just 5 minutes of her anus! 8)
Released: Jun 4, 2010
Featuring: Milena D
Photographer: Erik Latika
If you have never viewed this set go back and look.
After several comments about Nimfa and confirming she dad never appeared on SexArt I got thinking.
(A very dangerous thing !)
We all know Mia Solis tat is based on a plate from the Kama Sutra
BTW Milena's Tats there were all henne
Why not dress and makeup Ninfa as the Kama Sutra models apper and do a set mirroring
the plates from the Kama Sutra.
With her flexabilty she could probably pull it off...
What do you think?
Excellent idea! Henna is a wonderful art form and completely reversible! They come up with some really exotic and sexy designs without defacing natures underlying beauty.
You'd need a guy in them, too, to replicate the Kama Sutra. So, I'll pass.
How very bendy.
Love pics 88 &89 shows all of Nimfa's assets from those eyes to the amazing nipples that spankable ass and that deliciously yummy pussy.
Those long legs are so beautiful. Please keep those full body shots coming. :)
I love it when Nimfa shows off her flexibility. To me it adds another dimension to her appeal.
I think Nimfas's greatest appeal is her simple, natural and relaxed girl next door beauty. I wish she lived next door! Her other assets ... well I don't need to remind you, it's already been well said.
On a side note, I'm not a fan of this "nude" or "no makeup look" eye makeup on the models. it's one of the few faults I found with Catherine's work, and she used it exclusively. I'm an "eyes" person, and maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like the old fashioned darker eyeliner, shadow and mascara that really enliven and sexy up the eye
For once I really have to agree. Total lack of eye makeup leaves her face look too plain and not really top 10.
Impressive physicality, but more like a gymnastics show than an erotic one
Ahh, but think of the possibilities............
Are you saying there's nothing erotic about a woman that is physically fit and can get into those positions? If not erotic, I think it is sexy as hell - just think how fun it would be to make love to her.
How bout nude yoga ..... (pondering) .... Yeah, that works too!
I love the playful looks on Nimfa's face as she strips out of her pretty blue lingerie, especially the finger biting. Adorable!
Thanx for the HEELS !!
Got my "10" --
I'm starting to see what you like there...if they're the right kind of heels (some look awkward and clunky)
Nimfa is a stunning and drop dead gorgeous beauty with a sumptuous and succulent derriere .What more could one ask for ?
❤🍦😻A 10 every time for our wondercutie Nimfa!!! One Angel to dream, one Yummy to follow, one Sweety to taste... Mmmmm deliciously!!!🍰🥇😍
Thank You Antonio and thank you cute Nimfa!!
10 points + 10 + 10 .... ! The artistic posing is simply breathtaking!
Nimfa is rightly one of the top ten girls in MA. Not only an excellent face and an extraordinarily erotic body show this, but their overall charisma. Pure erotic. Nimfa is no matter where she is, a eyecatcher. It can be in an empty room, yet this room is simply seductive. When Nimfa takes off her blue lingerie in today's photo set, we can see a sensational body, a stunning girl. Just delicious.

Wheelchair tennis star Kamiji sets lofty goals at Rio, Tokyo
(Mainichi Japan)
Wheelchair tennis athlete Yui Kamiji led the Japanese delegation as the flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the Rio Paralympic Games on Sept. 7, but she is setting her sights even higher for the future.
As a third year high school student, Kamiji came in 8th at her first Paralympics in London in 2012. "I want to aim even higher," said the athlete, looking ahead to both the competition in Rio and the upcoming Tokyo Paralympics in 2020, where she hopes to represent Japan on the international stage.
Kamiji, 22, was born in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, with spina bifida occulta, and had difficulty walking by her fourth year in elementary school. At a loss seeing her daughter unable to go outside and play like she wanted to, Kamiji's mother posted on internet forums and requested information about sports for people with disabilities.
The first sport Kamiji tried was wheelchair basketball before being introduced to wheelchair tennis. At age 15, she experienced her first international competition, and her distinctive social nature propelled her forward. Whenever she had a question about anything, she did her best to communicate using gestures and body language.
"I made friends with athletes from both Asia and the West, both male and female, and it became an incentive to interact even more," she recalled.
After graduating from high school, Kamiji considered moving on to study international relations or foreign languages at university and leaving tennis behind. But she changed her mind after playing a match in front of a nearly full stadium. "Everyone who came to the stadium took an interest in wheelchair tennis," she said, and after rediscovering her athletic spirit, tennis became the natural choice for her future.
After competing in London, Kamiji has continued to raise her skill level. In 2014, she won the Australian Open doubles competition, and went on to sweep all the doubles titles in the other Grand Slam tournaments that year, adding her name to the rankings of the world's top players.
Kamiji is expected to win a medal in Rio. "I'm not only playing to have fun, I am playing with a goal in mind," she said.

So- I decided to make the shade before cutting and hemming the fabric. And I did!- the fabric did not leave the table until the shade was 90% complete. It's kind of backwards, but it ensured that the grain remained straight and eliminated distortion from hemming.
My awesome gridded fabric table cover made this possible.
The first step was to get the grain straight by pulling a thread across the entire width and beginning the cut there.
I rolled the fabric to the end of the table, smoothed it, and lined the selvedge up on one side and lined the fold up with the 60" grid line on the other side.
I was able to see the printed lines through the two layers, so I cut the top layer at 10" to create the 70" cut. I cut all the way to the end of the table and removed the leftover, keeping the fabric well weighted throughout. That gave me about 144" of my 215" and I left the roll intact at the far end.

GAYLORD - They played each other five times. And while St. Mary defeated Johannesburg-Lewiston three of them, the Cardinals won when it counted.
J-L knocked off the Snowbirds 21-25, 25-11 and 15-7 to capture the six-team St. Mary Varsity Volleyball Tournament Saturday, where both Otsego County schools had excellent days.
"We started off slow but we really played well in the bracket play," said J-L coach Angie Maves.
The Cardinals opened the tournament with a 21-18 and 17-21 split with Ellsworth, before falling 21-12 and 21-11 to the host Snowbirds. J-L then won its next six games in pool play, defeating Fairview 21-11 and 21-13, Atlanta 22-20 and 21-9 and Mancelona 21-19 and 21-13.
J-L faced off with Fairview in the bracket play, easily downing the Eagles. They then swept a tough Mancelona squad, before facing the Snowbirds.

Shawlapalooza: the raw materials
Multicolor mess of yarn 2 color: Prism plus Love
I knit one swatch for the Love Prism shawl last week, decided on a pattern, ripped out the swatch (mistake?) and am ready to start knitting shawls.. but , um, no shawls have been knitted so far! I'm sort of glad I wrote this post, because it makes clear the need for speed! Guess what I'll be knitting at Meetup tonight??
If worst comes to worst.. I end up with a capelet instead of an entire shawl/wrap.


text: Lock-out averted following tentative deal Labour disruption has been averted at a major Saskatchewan oil refinery after company executives and union representatives were finally able to reach a tentative agreement. About 800 employees had been poised for a lockout starting on Sunday – instead, Unifor will be presenting a deal to its membership for ratification later today. "We are pleased that we could reach an agreement that was fair for both sides," said Co-op vice president Gil Le Dressay. "While the agreement is still tentative pending ratification by the membership we are encouraged by Unifor's support for the agreement." The union's bargaining committee said it wasn't "the deal we wanted" but confirmed it would be recommending its acceptance. "I'm very proud of the commitment and skill shown by the bargaining committees," said Scott Doherty, executive assistant to the Unifor national president. "They worked very hard to find common ground." Negotiations for a new contract have been ongoing for months after the last contract expired in January 2016. SHARE

Things to do in Cambodia in a day
When did the mystery of Angkor Wat temples begin to uncover? Was it when in 1586, Antonio da Madalena visited this "such extraordinary construction" which he can't help but admitted that "it is not possible to describe it with a pen, particularly since it is like no other building in the world"? According to the Portuguese monk, Angkor Wat "has towers and decoration and all the refinements which the human genius can conceive of."
Or when it was popularized in the Western world by French naturalist and explorer, Henri Mouhot in the mid-19th century when he wrote in his travel notes: "One of these temples—a rival to that of Solomon, and erected by some ancient Michelangelo, —might take an honorable place beside our most beautiful buildings. It is grander than anything left to us by Greece or Rome, and presents a sad contrast to the state of barbarism in which the nation is now plunged."?
We are uncertain. But whatever period it was when this powerful symbol of Cambodia became a mystery; one thing is for sure, that it has always been a mystery. Lying 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) north of the modern town of Siem Reap, exploring the most eminent temples of the 1992 UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE such as Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Phrom, and Angkor Thom is probable with a one-day pass for only 20 USD. You may exclude the outer temples but these 4 main ones are a must.
I was puzzled when the receptionist at the counter asked me if I'm half-Cambodian. Should I have confirmed yes, I would had free passage to the Angkorian temples.
Angkor Wat, means "City of Temples" in Khmer. Measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 sq meters), Angkor Wat is the largest religious site in the world. This best-preserved temple was built by the Khmer King, Suryavarman in the early 12th century as a state Hindu temple which gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple at the end of the said century and still is until present time.
AngKor wat temple is one example of a high classical Khmer architecture style with two-basic plans: the temple-mountain and the galleried temple. According to scholars, it is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in the Hindu mythology. This representation is further detailed with the countless symbols of devatas which look like wall ornaments and its extensive bas-reliefs.
The grandeur of the temple is undeniable that Cambodians are tremendously proud of it that it is embossed in their national flag.
Described as "the most striking expression of the baroque style" of the Khmer architecture. Bayon is the last state temple built for the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII.
The Bayon' s most distinguished feature is the throng of amused stone faces. It stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. Like Angkor Wat, Bayon was altered from a Hindu to a Buddhist temple.According to scholars, the 216 similar oversize faces on the towers represent the face of King Jayavarman VII himself who think of himself as a "devaraja" (god-king). Some galleries feature a series of bas-reliefs.
A western visitor once described Angkor Thom "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato". It was loyally constructed in the Bayon style noted by the many face-towers placed at each of the entrances. Similar to most Angkor ruins, it displays various bas-reliefs with figures that resemble like mythological characters.
According to pioneering Angkor scholar Maurice Glaize, Ta Prohm was singled out because it was "one of the most imposing [temples] and the one which had best merged with the jungle, but not yet to the point of becoming a part of it".
I believe that the world began to notice this unusual find in the remote jungle when hollywood film Tomb Raider used it as one of its primary locations. The battling scene between the heavy, stoic, centuries-old tree, standing firm and coiling its roots around the equally enduring Angkorian architecture provokes a mysterious tale that no one could unveil.
The spunning of the tree on the temples only proves that Ta Phrom was abandoned for a long time. It is the most distinct Angkorian temples, not because it wears a different structural style. In fact, it has the common flat Khmer temple characteristic, adopting the Bayon styles which was built in 12 th century.
Once called as Rajavihara,Ta Phrom was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1992 by UNESCO. It is the grabbing-attention tree that makes it stand out from the rest and is one of the most visited sites in Cambodia.
So if you'll just have one free day to dedicate a tour on the Angkorian complex, better check first these 4 best and most visited temples in Cambodia. The tuk tuk driver who guided my itchy feet around the immense Cambodian empire also recommended these big 4.
Angkorian temples tour
It is simple to find a tuk tuk driver, who likes the rest of them,would patiently wait early morning in front of the inn I stayed because this affordable accommodation is a backpackers spot for Angkor visit. For just 15 USD, he agreed to drive me around the major temples in one day.
Where I stay
I have nothing unpleasant to say about this Mandalay inn, now Mingalar inn (Burmese name for hello) where I spent the night for 500 Php or 10 USD only. It has wi-fi and comfortable bed. I liked its French-styled house adorned with cozy furniture, mostly made of dark woods with a wood-carved figure of Buddha in the living room.
The only thing I noticed is that the water was a bit rusty and smelled like a dry land. Other than that I had a great vacation in Siem Reap and was ready to continue the Indochina tour to Vietnam.
Food & Currency
Cambodian currency is called riel. One riel is equivalent to 0.11 PhP or that's 0.00024 USD. When I exchanged 15,000 php , I was a millionaire for a day with ,1318,750.47 riel after the exchange. And food in Cambodia is as cheap as 1 USD per meal.

Cambodia,has a fair share of violent history. But behind its dark clouds of tragic past, there once shone a kingdom as splendid as Atlantis. Present Cambodia is gradually moving forward to bring back the glory it once achieved.

- There are some writings on it: Veggie Lady N9 W3 BINGO!
4. Go back to Clanux Heffron and tell him what you found. Then he gives you a Cogwheel that he found inside the Item Shop.5. Go to the Vegetable Gardener at the bottom left of Prontera .
- Walk 9 steps to the North and then 3 steps to the West of her .
- A dialog box pops up; enter BINGO
- She will tell you the number 3847147298 (16754213 found to be another number used.).
- It seem the machine is some sort of a wheel so, place the Cogwheel in it. Then the machine ask you to enter the numbers: 3847147298 ( Or 16754213).
- A shining slate comes out of the machine, the first Piece of Slate, the Prontera Tablet.
- Go back to Clanux Heffron and only tell him a little bit.
7. Go back to Old Scholar Tyus in Morocc and he tells you the dense forest written in the slate refers to Payon. He asks you to look for Grout'he Tuccok there.8. Meet Grout'he Tuccok in Payon and he's willing to cooperate if you pay 10k to buy his clues item. He gives you a Stone Heart, Green Herb, Grape Juice & Skirt of Virgin.
- He'll divulge the location he found those items one at a time. (Marks on the mini map. Try not to teleport or enter portals)

- A small opening appears below the statue and you get the second Piece of Slate, the Payon Tablet.
- If you choose wrong, you will be killed (no exp loss.)
12. Go back to Old Scholar Tyus and report the good news. Old Scholar Tyus will tell you the 4th Piece of Slate is in the hand of Sage Welshyun, Geffen. Before you depart he hands his 3rd Piece of Slate to you, the Morroc Tablet.13. Meet Sage Welshyun and ask him for his help. He asks you do him a favor first by bringing the report of "Monster Life in the Geffen Area" from his apprentice, Enoz at the top of Geffen Tower.
- If you select wrong, bring a White Potion to him.
15. Strangely, Sage Welshyun claims he was just testing you but he does have the Master Science Reference Book that Enoz was looking for and he asks you to deliver it. He also asks you to get a Blue Gemstone for him.
16. Another long climb up the Geffen Tower. After passing the report, bring the Blue Gemstone that asked for and head for Sage Welshyun again.
- He asks a strange question... "Where is the abode with a shining silver roof that is mentioned in the third part of the ballad of Grimnir?"
- You tell him Valaskjalf and he gives you the 4th Piece of Slate, the Geffen Tablet.
17. After obtaining all 4 Pieces of Slate you go back to Old Scholar Tyus. He tells you each of the slates contains a fragment of the cursed jewel and Sage Welshyun should be able to combine the fragments of jewel into one.
18. Sage Welshyun will use the Blue Gemstone you gave him and then combine the 4 Pieces of Slate into a Complete Tablet. He will tell you the Slate belongs to Hellion Revenant and he can send you to the location indicated in the Slate, and he sends you to the Sealed Cave (gef_fild09). The entrance to the cave is a black area in the cliff as you walk west from where you are warped. The Hellion Revenant is a boss-type monster and walks fast. Hellion Revenant uses magic attacks frequently. You cannot use Teleport or Fly Wing inside the cave area so if you encounter Hellion Revenant, it will be a fight to the death.
- You can complete the quest now by going back to Old Scholar Tyus in Morroc without killing Hellion Revenant.
19. When you near the Sealed Cave, your Slate reacts and starts to glow. You place the Slate in the slot and Old Scholar Tyus's message appears.
20. You find the Hellion Revenant inside Geffen Dungeon Level 2 (gef_dun03) and after beating him, he'll drop Eye of Hellion.
21. Tell Old Scholar Tyus about the Slate, the message, the Sealed Cave and his grandfather's death (if you beat Hellion Revenant). He'll thank you and start the Sealing Ceremony on the Jewel of Hellion.
22. After sealing it, Old Scholar Tyus will reward you.
A) Beat Hellion Revenant: 1,200,000 Base EXP, Old Blue Box & Nile Rose
- Note: if you go into the cave and already have the eye it will count as killing the revenant when you talk to Tyrus (he has a chance to drop more than 1 when he dies)
B) Beaten by Hellion Revenant or skip the Cave: 1,000,000 Base EXP & Nile Rose

Typically when I hear the word karma images of a birth and death cycle come to mind. Actions, speech and thought performed in this life have direct implications on the next one. While this larger cycle may be true, a much tighter karmic cycle is happening constantly. The way that we interact with the world has direct and sometimes immediate impact on us. This may be a future debt that we know is coming due or it may be an instant feeling we get as soon as the harm is inflicted.
The tight cycle still represents the birth and death of our selves. The birth and death of our ego. How we treat others, including our environment, has direct implication on what the ego thinks it is. Action kills the ego and it is then reborn with whatever karmic debt was created in the last cycle. It is best not to judge the ego since its life is so short.

As a result, we are left behind while everyone moves with his life. But here is a solution that we present for you. Pandit Ji, Expert vashikaran love in Ahmadabad can be your opportunity to resolve all issues.
I was madly in love with a boy who was much richer than me. At the end of many years of the relationship, he broke up with me. I felt used and hopeless. I was on the verge of suicide when as a last resort, I stumbled upon Sunil Acharya Ji's website. I did not have the money to afford a hefty fees so I asked him if my problem will be solved, how much will I have to pay. To my surprise, he said he charges no guru dakshina and I only have to pay for the puja. I was surprised and I took a chance. In 15 days, my boyfriend came back to me and proposed to marry me. Sunil Ji has given me a new lease of life and I will never forget the help. Please remember, real sadhus never ask for money, they only want to help people.

I had a small cloth store in Khokha market. My business was not doing well. I got in touch with Guruji sometime back in 2005. With his guidance and advice, not only did my business bloom but also I found a mentor who I turn to for guidance for each and every big decision in my life. Today I make money in crores and I have five showrooms all over Ludhiana. Guruji never asks for Guru Dakhshina, it is your wish whatever you want to pay him. In this day and age of frauds and fake gurus, Sunil Acharya Ji is an answer to my prayers.
Satish Arora, 43, Businessman from Ludhiana (Punjab)
I was posted as a manager in the State Bank of India in its Assam branch. I terribly missed my family and I had a tough time adjusting to the environment of Assam. I tried to get a transfer but something or the other blocked my option. Under a lot of depression, I gave up home and thought that may be I should try some other way. In August 2013, I came across Sunil Acharya Ji's website www.astrologyspecialistindia.com . At first, I thought it would be one of those sites which will ask me for a large sum of money and give no results. Then I had a chance to talk to Sunil Ji, he reassured me and to my surprise he said "Do not pay me anything other than puja material, pay me whatever you feel like once your work is done". I instantly struck a chord with him and in a span of 3 months, I was transferred out of Assam to Mumbai. It was the best Diwali of my life. I took a flight to Ludhiana and met the man myself and I cannot stress enough on his genuine and honest approach to helping people.
Tez Krishna 50, (Jammu)
I had a very debilitating ailment. I had high blood sugar with a bad case of Tuberculosis. The doctors had given me a few days to live. I was just a small time stock broker and I did not have money to afford expensive treatment. I got referred to Guruji and he did not ask me for a single rupee, all I had to pay was for the puja materials and believe it or not, I was back to being myself in just one week! Not only that, today my consultancy has become so popular that I can work for 12-13 hours a day without feeling an iota of weakness. Sunil Acharya Ji changed my life.
Sushil Mittal,47, ( Chandigarh)
I was a small time scrap seller with a family to support and I was not doing very well in my profession. Needless to say I could not afford to pay thousands to someone I knew from the internet. However, in 2011, I read about Sunil Ji in a classified ad and got in touch with him. He helped me selflessly and today I am a ship broker. I earn a comfortable livelihood and I have accepted Sunil Ji as my mentor and guru. He is really a great person with a genuine desire to help people live a good life.
Babu Rao, 35, Ship broker
After a few years of my marriage, I discovered the shattering truth about my husband having an affair. Divorce is not an option for me as I loved my husband very much. As a doctor, I did not believe in astrology and hocus pocus but in a moment of extreme depression, I stumbled upon Sunil Acharya Ji's website www.astrologyspecialistindia.com and I thought of trying this out as a hope against hope. With his humble demeanour and an eagerness to help, he saved my marriage. In just a month, things were back to normal and today I continue to live a happy life. I am very grateful to Guruji.
Dr. Neha Chawla, Dr. Neha Chawla
With Guruji's help, I got a government job in Canada within a promised time of 72 hours. I got in touch with him on June 2013 and in 3 days I had an offer letter in hand. This man is 100% real and I now believe in powers beyond our understanding. I am grateful that he uses his powers to help people. God bless him.
Deep Kaur, 45, Vancouver, Canada
I had a major problem trying to get citizenship of Canada. A close friend secretly suggested me to call Guruji. I called him in April 2012 and I do not know how or why but he promised to solve my problem within 3 months and sure enough in 90 days I got a full fledged citizenship. This man is very powerful with his knowledge and I deeply respect that he uses his powers to help people without any ulterior profit making motive. You can pay him whatever fees you want, only materials for the ceremony are to be borne by you.
Manjit Singh, 46, Toronto
I am an American citizen and I was facing a land dispute in July 2011. My relatives suggested I consult Sunil Acharya Ji. At first I was skeptical because I searched the internet and found that there are a lot of fake gurus and fraudsters who promise to solve your problems and then extort money from you. I still made a call and I was surprised, he did not ask me for a single penny and said that I can pay him whatever I want once the work is done. In one week, my land dispute was sorted and I was awed with respect for this gentleman who kept his promise and helped me.
Rajdeep Singh, 55, New York
My young daughter was missing and needless to say, it was a matter of family prestige. I consulted Guruji in utmost confidentiality and he assured me that she will come back home within 72 hours. She did return home and as a father, I cannot ever repay Acharya Ji for saving the honour of my family and helping me find my child back. God bless him.
Mahender Singh, 50, Amritsar, Punjab
: My boyfriend broke up with me and left for Australia. I was on the verge of spiraling down into severe depression. I called Sunil Acharya Ji after seeing his number on the internet. Within one month of consulting him, my boyfriend came back to me and not just that, he went down on his knees and proposed marriage. This man saved my life, I owe a big debt of gratitude to Sunil Ji. Just call him and you will believe in miracles. He is honest and lives up to his promise, he is not profit minded and only charges for Puja.
Renu Bala, 28, Siliguri
I come from a staunch Brahmin family and I fell in love with a guy from other caste. Our families opposed the marriage and we were really depressed. As a last shot, we decided to try Astro Science and we called Sunil Ji. He promised to solve our problem in 15 days and sure enough in 15 days our families agreed for the marriage. Today we are happy and we are in constant touch with Sunil Ji. We will never forget what he did for us.
Shalini Sharma, 30, Chandigarh
I got married when I was 30 and for 9 years I did not conceive. I went to all sorts of fertility doctors, I have tried all sorts of Fakirs, Babas, gurus and then I stumble upon Sunil Acharya Ji on the internet. Money is not a problem for me, I was desperate so I told him " I can pay you whatever you want if you can help me conceive". He replied to me saying he does not need a penny and it is against his principles to accept money for his work. He charged me money for the havan and pratikaars and I paid him that amount which is smaller than a fraction of what I had already spent. I consulted him in April 2012 and in January 2013 I had a baby boy. I flew down to Ludhiana and gifted him a chain of gold. I still think he deserves much more. God Bless this kind man.
Lalita Ben, 39, Ahmedabad
Being a Zamindar with a lineage of royal feudal lords, money has never been a problem in my family. My son however, used his inherited money to drink, indulge in drugs and he even frequented the red light areas for amusement. My son was a gone case, he misbehaved with my wife and he stopped speaking to me. I consulted many sages who saw my ancestry and looted me to no end. Then I gave Sunil Acharya Ji a shot, to my surprise, he was unfazed with my wealth and only wanted to solve my problem. In 75 days time, my son left all his bad habits and turned back to the family. Today he is a responsible adult. Sunil Acharya Ji is now one of my closest friends, guide and mentor and I consider myself fortunate to have crossed path with such a humble and modest and helpful person in this day and age where everybody wants to earn money and be dishonest. I hope people learn from him.

It's amazing. It's like you can't avoid them, not that you'd want to. Walking down the street in New York City is like walking down a fashion runway. With cross traffic. And no security guards trying to tackle you.
I've been to the city a number of times and while it is great and everything, there's no need to gush over it as so many have and so many will in these sorts of discussions about urban areas. But I think it's important to illuminate this aspect of the city that I've definitely noticed, which for purely academic purposes I'll call the city beauty quotient. And I'm not alone. My buddies have noticed it in their travels as well – and these guys are not planners or "urbanists" or academics or whatever we'd like to call ourselves. They are simply my bros. But they're also users of the city – the users planners and theoreticians aim to serve.
I've had conversations with these users of the city after they return from trips to New York, and they typically marvel at what I too have marveled at. I mean, these women are everywhere. I'm no creeper, and I'm not just in the city to gawk at women, but it's hard for me and my equally not-creepy friends to ignore the fact that we see an awesomely high volume of beautiful women walking around New York City.
But there's the key. When you walk around in New York City, you see beautiful girls (or guys, if that's your thing) doing exactly what you're doing: walking.

My practice focuses on the use of abstracting the 'experienced object' within the current day, through human experience. The materials used in these works are determined through abstraction and dysfunction; through the initial action of decomposing, a thought or new action may emerge. The object is the initial commodity; it forms the idea in which a meaning is realised through the destruction or dismantling of the object.
'Among the most important things the ready-mades did and does, is to bestow this legibility upon the commodity- to its eccentricities and vagaries- to the deep peculiarity of objects to the ways in which commodities trip us up or act as a trap, or precede us'
Marcel Duchamp. Page 193 Helen Molesworth, Part Object, Part Sculpture.
The main aim is to stretch the elements of the domestic object, in order to transform and challenge its initial human function. Such reactions are drawn to form one object simultaneously producing another function, which can be used to simulate a new form of utility or reduce it until there would be no function at all. The external body experience is utilised as a main trigger point of reaction and shapes the development of my practice.

– The Message of a falling leaf –
Which of the events of nature can be seen everywhere, all the time? The plain answer to the query could be as simple as "falling of a leaf". It's a common scene. This minuscule event can be observed at many places, at home and garden or at the time when we go around for a walk. The falling leaves off the trees sensationalize us with the feelings of soothing breeze and motivate for a brisk walk.
Well, there are two known theories about the leaf drops. One, a leaf fall off trees because of too much or too little watering and the other, the tree shun its leaves to restore the required energy level to cope up with the changing environment. Regardless of the nature of its detachment, we are studying the case of a leaf dropping from a different perspective.
Falling of leaf isn't it an insignificant event when considered in the backdrop of huge changes taking place from the colossal explosion and merger of the heavenly objects in the skies to gigantic move of the tectonic plates beneath the earth? There are many more on the heavens, above and beneath the earth and the event of a leaf-fall for sure is infinitesimal. The leaf, small or big, most of the time its dropping goes unnoticed.
The beauty of Quranic guidance is that it diverts attention even towards those areas that at times considered negligible, as is the case here. The Book takes the human consciousness from an inconsiderate situation to make it sensible and productive. Look how our attention is being diverted:
وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلاَّ يَعْلَمُهَا۔ ۔ ۔ الانعام:59
…there is not a leaf which falls that He does not know about…
This is a part of a long verse of the 6th chapter that deals with a glimpse of Almighty Allah's immeasurable knowledge. While delving with its details, above part of the verse exemplifies that even a single leaf falls with Almighty's permission. How do you articulate this? How do you get to the essence of Allah's knowledge of this stature? Does it mean, every single leaf that falls at any given point of time and at any part of the world has an endorsement of Allah's permission? What does it infer?
If pondered, the leaf-fall event makes us understand:
- The vastness of Allah's sovereignty
- The minuscule details of His knowledge
- Tip of the essence of Allah's knowledge
- Everything small or big happens with His permission
- His monitoring covers even infinitesimal aspects beneath and above the earth.
- Conceptual details of joy and sorrow
- The Authority of the Creator and His control over human lives
- He is the Sustainer and causes vegetation to grow and sustain
- The accuracy and expanse of His decisions and the way they are being implemented.
Of these, let me deal with the conceptual details of joy and sorrow, as they aptly align with the event of a leaf dropping. The seasons have different shades, of them spring occupies a prime place. Everyone enjoys the spring season. This season infers that the trees have there leaves intact. It means Almighty Allah has not given permission them to fall off the branches. The leaves are intact hence the spring season. Its application in human lives would certainly make us understand:
مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنۡ حَسَنَةٍ۬ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِۖ۔ ۔ ۔ النسا:79
Whatever good happens to you is from Allah
And when the Almighty Allah permits the leaf to fall, every leaf would detach at its appointed time. Now you have a season diametrically opposite to the spring; its "autumn" (fall), dryness and dropping leaves everywhere. If you articulate, it could be tests, trials and hardships of life. To be specific, it means you are being surrounded with calamities and difficulties:
مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۗ۔ ۔ ۔التغابن:11
No affliction ever befall except by Allah's permission
The ultimate message vehemently clarifies the true spirit of guidance. It's all about a sense of gratitude. It should prevail all the time; regardless of the situation one should be thankful. This is what suits best to the servants of Allah. The life of a believer has to be an embodiment of gratefulness, Allama Iqbal says:
Ye Naghma Fasl-e-Gul-o-Lala Ka Nahin Paband
These melodious songs are not confined to time when rose and tulip bloom
Bahar Ho Ke Khazan, La Ilaha Illallah
Whatever the season of year be "No God but Allah" must ring till doom.
The fastings of Ramadhan gives us a daily glimpse of the feelings of "spring" and "autumn" from dawn to dusk.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Feb. 23, 2015) - Council members are prepared to take their time looking at plans for a new $1.6 billion Criminal Justice Center. It is looking less likely that the deal will be approved by the end of March.
Two council members from opposite sides of the aisle have joined together to ask if a decision on the project should wait until after the election.
Republican Benjamin Hunter and Democrat Mary Moriarty Adams believe more information and time are needed to determine if the proposal is a good long-term fit for the city. They wrote a letter stating it would be irresponsible to act on the current timeline. Both councilors are asking for transparency and an appropriate vetting process.
The building itself would cost $408 million and the city would enter into a 35-year lease estimated to cost about $47 million per year. At the end of the lease, in 2054, ownership and management of the building would revert to the city. In December, the city announced a Paris-based company called WMB Heartland Justice Partners submitted a winning bid.
"I mean this has been talked about for years so we have to look at it holistically and we'll get that information. This is going to be on the council's timeline and we have to make these decisions long-term and I want to make sure the efficiencies and savings are there on the back end," said Hunter.
With a deadline approaching quickly, Mayor Greg Ballard and the developer want to see the deal approved by March 31 in order to secure what they call "optimum financing."
The Rules and Public Policy Committee will meet Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the proposed public-private agreement between the city and WMB Heartland Justice Partners. They will also take up a proposal to establish a review board for the justice complex. Council members have already hired an independent firm to review the numbers and terms of the deal.
Councilor Zach Adamson believes a new justice center is needed, but he has also continued to raise questions about the timeline.
"I always said it was unreasonable, I thought it was, there are too many unanswered questions and this deal is way too big to rush through I mean a billion and a half is a lot of money," said Adamson.
A spokesperson for Mayor Ballard released the following statement:
"In my administration, we have prided ourselves on tackling issues and projects that have been kicked down the road, both politically and financially, for decades. We have addressed above-ground infrastructure, parking meters, towing management, water and wastewater improvements, Market Square redevelopment, and so on. The Justice Center is the last in that line. We pursued it so that future mayors would not have to address this issue, politically or financially. The City has been debating this challenge for more than 30 years, and collectively, we have worked together to create a solution. The Council, Sheriff, Courts and other stakeholders have been involved in decision making on the Justice Center project from the beginning. Now is the time to execute the plan so that a future administration will not have to deal with this continuing challenge."

I love the feel of this lip butter, my new favorite …..and I have tried them all!↓
Thank you Amy, your product is amazing! What a nice surprise Christmas morning! Happy Holidays!
Debra Shea
I finally found a healthier alternative hair product that works on my long hair. I have tried so many natural and extremely un-natural products that either weighed the curl out, made it feel like plastic and/or the smell is so strong that it over powers any other scent I may choose to wear. What I love about the Olive & Honey curl custard is I can wash my hair, towel dry, and apply a liberal amount of product on the lower four inches of hair, since that is where I like the most curl, a small amount on the top section where I only prefer a slight wave, attach the diffuser to the blow dryer, flip my hair forward and a begin to dry while scrunching the lower section of hair by hand until it's ninety percent dry. When I flip my hair back, I have wonderful loose curls THAT LAST. I would get so frustrated in the past when I put all that time and money into my hair and the curls would be gone within an hour, due to the weight of my long hair. PLUS! after sleeping on it, all I have to do to freshen it up is spray a little water on the ends, apply a small amount of O & H curl custard, diffuse slightly and wallah! it looks great again.
Thanks Amy for a great product.↓
I LOVE this conditioner – my hair is so soft and the smell is fantastic.↓
I use this with the conditioner – I love the scent! It has transformed my hair 🙂↓
I absolutely love this stuff! After having a baby my skin was an absolute wreck and I had a hard time finding things that worked well for me as it was never something I had to worry about. This stuff makes my skin feel so healthy and I have seen an amazing difference from the rough red spotted post pregnancy face I was sporting. I love that it is natural and the smell is so calming and not too strong! I use it as a part of my night time routine daily! I would highly suggest this product to anyone and especially to women like me who have struggled to find the right match!↓
That would be the most wonderful thing!! I would love trying and reviewing things for you! It is so hard to find good stuff. I love the approach you are taking. Mother Nature knows best!↓
I love this stuff. All winter I had hands so dry from doing dishes and the dreaded winter weather hibernation. They were so bad that they would crack and bleed no matter how good I was about putting lotion on. I tried everything. After using this for about a week my hands are almost back to normal. No more cracks and dry grey patches. I like that the smell of the butter is not overwhelming like some other products such as the burts bees farmers salve. And I also like that it is made with ingredients that are safe for my little 9 month old baby girl! Win. Win. Win.↓
Both the cowash and conditioner are so refreshing and make your hair so soft! I am in love with the lime and ginger conditioner. Using it at the end of a shower leaves me feeling super rejuvenated. The rosemary and mint cowash is so nice to use as both a body wash and shampoo. I feel like I had an aromatherapy session after ever shower. My fiancé even came downstairs the other day after a shower, admitted using my shampoo and conditioner and made me feel his hair and tell me how great it felt. Good for both men and women!!↓
This is superfood for your skin. Mixes well with my Vit C powder to inspire smooth, hydrated and (really) glowing skin). Thank my Sis JBP for sending this as gift to me in NJ! So here I am re-ordering !↓
Love the feel of this lip treatment. Smooth and moisturizing, it leaves lips soft. Great protection in cold weather and I love that there is no menthol in it (unscented version)↓
I use the moisture mist for mature skin (lavender/chamomile) and it is amazing. I have very dry skin on my forehead but combination skin elsewhere. This mist keeps my face soft and moisturized in both problem areas. Not greasy or oily at all. I have straight hair, but a couple of sprays on it keeps the static and fly away hairs smooth without making it greasy. My hair looks and feels shiny and soft. This is my new favourite product!↓
I use this on my dry forehead and follow up with the moisture mist. Easy to apply and the pump makes it easy to portion out how much you want. Keeps skin smooth and moist.↓


text: Most of our nation's public school systems teach a few fundamental concepts about our criminal justice system as core beliefs that motivate Americans as a whole. Among those are the right to a fair trial, by a jury, that convicts based on evidence beyond all reasonable doubt. In theory, this should lead to a fair and impartial way of deciding who is and is not guilty. According to research, though, what happens in practice is completely different.

The not-so-funny reality of American jurisprudence unfolds in tragic tort claim against Ford Motors
By Micheal F. Lamb for The Montana Lawyer
It was Halloween evening. It was dark. Fred Patton was doing his fatherly duty as chauffeur for his two youngest daughters, who were costumed as a princess and a witch. Chattering gaily, they climbed out of the family station wagon and ran up the sidewalk to the home of a neighbor.
Fred, seeing his friend come to the door, put the station wagon in park and stepped out to say hello. He walked to the rear of the Ford Gran Torino. His daughters erupted in thanks for the treats.
There was another sound. It was a sound not unlike one Fred had known as a young man in the military police, the sound of someone chambering a round in a service sidearm. What he heard was the transmission of his car drop from false park into reverse, although no one was in the car. The back-up lights came on. At the same instant Fred was knocked off balance. He fell to the ground. His car was backing over him. He grabbed the bumper and scrambled frantically to regain his feet. He reached the rear door handle and was able to bring himself to his knees.
Patton could hear his daughters screaming in terror. Stumbling once, he was almost dragged underneath the car. He desperately grabbed the roof rack with one hand and held on with a strength born of necessity. All the while, the car kept backing up, gaining momentum on the slight downhill grade.
Fred regained his feet. At that instant, the car smashed into a tree trunk. He was caught between the car and the tree, his hips and legs crushed. When the car rebounded, Fred's broken body was dumped down the bank beside the road. His daughters knelt beside the car, crying into the blackness, begging their father to answer them.
Fred spent the next couple months in the hospital. A hospital bed was set up in the living room of their home and Fred recuperated for another six months, his wife, Val, as his nurse. It was more than a year after the accident before he could walk again, and then only with a walker.
Up until the accident happened, Fred Patton was living the American dream. He had a good job and was happily married. Their three children were doing well in school. Val had primary responsibility for their home and children and did not work outside the home.
What happened to Fred Patton was not unique. The design defect exists in thousands of older model Fords on the road today. Perhaps 100 or more people have been killed in similar incidents and thousands more disabled or injured. Ford has had several verdicts against it in cases arising out of the defect and has paid millions of dollars in settlements.
Of course, Fred Patton was just happy to be alive. He had no way of knowing that Ford had left a car on the road that could suddenly back up without warning. It was only through a chance conversation with a friend that he learned he wasn't the only one whose car tried to kill him. He decided to see an attorney.
The Lawsuit
Ford had never admitted in any forum the existence of the defect or liability for it. It aggressively defended itself at every turn with help from the best experts and engineering design specialists money could buy. It had expensive, experienced defense lawyers. It had specialized trial counsel who would handle the case if forced to trial. And it had the plaintiff disabled and at a disadvantage.
We prepared our case: we consulted with several of the small group of attorneys who had tried and won this type of case against Ford; we located and retained those engineers who had become Ford's arch enemies with respect to the design issues presented by the case; we accessed the American Trial Lawyers Association and other groups dealing with these types of cases. We studied the engineering technology, the human factors authority, the medicine and the law; we documented the treatment provided by all of the doctors; we retained both economist and rehabilitation specialists.
Money flowed like water: travel expenses, doctors' fees, expert fees, discovery costs, and more. We soon had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in prosecuting the case. These were expenses advanced by us; the Pattons could not have initiated the case otherwise.
Everyone involved was making a fine living off the Pattons' case except the Pattons. The doctors, hospitals, clinics and therapists were being paid. The lion's share of the medical bills were paid by Fred's health insurance. The doctors charged several thousand dollars just to talk to the attorneys and document the nature and extent of the injuries. They charged hundreds of dollars for the medical records. The economic evaluation was expensive, as was that of the rehabilitation specialist. The engineering and design experts charged thousands upon thousands of dollars for their time and efforts. The work done by these professionals was of the highest quality, well worth the expense. And, of course, the team of defense lawyers and their experts and consultants were making a good living aggressively defending their client.
In the meantime, the Pattons were starving. Long before he was out of the hospital, Fred Patton had exhausted all his accumulated vacation and sick leave pay. Then co-workers donated their sick leave and vacation pay, and when that too was depleted, the Pattons' church congregation helped out with groceries and rent payments. That too played out. Then relatives and friends stepped up to provide support, food, and a few dollars.
While we were free to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing the defendant into a courtroom, we were powerless to keep our clients from starving or losing their home while we waited to bring the case to a jury.
The house was kept cold to keep the heating bill down; the proverbial cupboard was bare; the children cried themselves to sleep with worry and so did their parents. The kids didn't participate in sports or extracurricular activities or go to the mall with their friends or even accept invitations to birthday parties because they couldn't afford presents. Their good life was over. Fear was their constant companion.
Then came the worst news of all – the doctor's advice that Fred would always be disabled. Hard on the heels of that determination was the news that there was no position of any kind Fred would be able to hold with his employer. No financial institution would lend Fred a dime. All the family had left was prayer.
As I sat in defense counsel's beautifully appointed offices overlooking Puget Sound, I was struck by the absurdity of the situation our justice system had created. Defense counsel, with great gravity, passed along what was described as the defendant's "first, final and best" offer of settlement. Having just deposed the plaintiff, the attorneys knew the financial horror story the Pattons were living. They knew the emotional holocaust the family was enduring. They knew Fred would never work at his job again and that he was clinically depressed. They knew that he was at risk of losing his home, his family and perhaps even his life. They knew their product had disabled him and that they had the advantage. Trial was months if not years away. From where I sat, they were smugly trying to capitalize on this reality. More objectively they were just doing their job.
And they had a weapon even more horrible than any of those occasioned by the injury. They had ethical rules that forbade Fred's lawyers from providing financial assistance to him during the pendency of his case. So while we were free to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing the defendant into a courtroom, and to support any number of "professionals" and "experts" who were living off our clients' despair, we were powerless to keep our clients from starving or losing their home while we waited to bring the Pattons' case to a jury. Under the Rules, we couldn't give or lend the Pattons money without violating our "ethical" obligations. What criminal irony.
I conveyed the defendant's offer to my clients. I explained that the defendant was taking advantage of the situation, my powerlessness to do anything about it, my conviction that we would prevail in their case and my promise to do everything I could to ensure that would happen. At the same time, there could be no guarantees. Evidencing tremendous courage and faith, they rejected the offer.
I advised opposing counsel he was free to keep his money. He made his position clear: the offer was a "take it or leave it" situation. The case would now be handed over to Ford's specialized defense trial lawyers. We'd made a terrible mistake.
Months later, he called back and said they'd like to mediate the case, try to resolve it without the expense of a trial. A retired judge mediated the case. At the end of the day, the case was settled on terms which, while not reflective of its value, my clients could not afford to pass up.
This story has a happier ending than many, but nevertheless, Fred will be in chronic pain for the rest of his life. He will never again provide for his family. The family will never forget the emotional terror of being held captive by the justice system. But if they watch their spending and plan for the future, the taxpayers won't be supporting Fred Patton and his family; the corporation whose product disabled him will be. That is precisely as it should be.
The Problem
Fred Patton's is just one of hundreds of such financial horror stories that unfold every year in our state and across the country, brought about by negligence, defective products, or otherwise. With the time lines necessarily built into our civil justice system, how can disabled tort victims survive to make it into the courtroom?
The subject has received at least some scholarly attention. See Dawn S. Garret, "Lending A Helping Hand: Professional Responsibility and Attorney-Client Financing Prohibitions," 80 U.DaytonL. Rev. 221 (1990); John J. Vassen, "The Case for Allowing Lawyers to Advance Client Living Expense," 80IllB.J. 16 (1992) and Strelow, "Loans to Clients for Living Expenses," 55Cal.L. Rev. 1419, 1421-23 (1967).
In Montana, Professor David J. Patterson of the University of Montana School of Law discussed the issue in his CLE presentation at the 1994 Montana Trial Lawyers Association seminar, "The Court House Door is Open: Can the Plaintiff Afford to Stay Around?"
Montanans are guaranteed the right to full legal redress under Article II of the Montana Constitution. I elect to believe that whatever other liability and damage issues exist in a given case, no individual or corporate entity would morally or ethically wish to take unfair advantage of the financial condition of a dead or disabled victim.
The applicable provision in Montana relating to permissible financial arrangements between lawyers and their clients is ABA Model Rule 1.8(e). It specifically provides for advancing all litigation expenses and makes repayment of those costs contingent upon the outcome of the litigation. However, it does not permit an attorney to advance necessary living expenses to a client.
The Solution
More recently, the American Law Institute, In Counsel Draft No. 11, Vol. 1 (Sept 28, 1995)considered a new §48 of the Restatement of the Law, Third, that would allow lawyers to make or guarantee loans to clients in connection with pending or contemplated litigation. This would be allowed only in those cases where the loan is needed to enable the client to withstand delay in litigation that otherwise might unjustly induce the client to settle or dismiss the case because of financial hardship rather than on the merits and where the lawyer does not promise or offer the loan before being retained. See Restatement of the Law, Third, The Law Governing Lawyers, Counsel Draft No. 11, Vol. 1 (Sept. 28, 1995). By way of explanation for the proposal, Counsel notes that while loans going beyond litigation expenses are forbidden in most jurisdictions, the ban is not supportable on the argument that it protects lawyers from client requests for financial assistance or that it protects lawyers from competition with each other.
It is supportable on the ground that lawyers should not attempt to solicit clients to retain the lawyer by offering such loans or similar financial assistance. Nevertheless, financial assistance to a client beyond litigation expenses is justified when needed to help a financially depressed client proceed with a suit rather than accepting whatever settlement might be offered. A fortiori, a lawyer's unconditional gift assistance to a client should be permissible. A client whose resources have been depleted, for example by an injury giving rise to a suit, might have difficulty obtaining food, clothing, shelter and medical treatment during protracted litigation. Banks and other in the business of lending will usually be unwilling to lend on the security of a lawsuit because assessing a claim's probable worth is often difficult. Champerty law in most jurisdictions prohibits acquiring an interest in the cause of action as security. On balance, it is better for the loan to be permitted than for the client to be saved from conflicts of interest but forced to abandon the suit.
The size of the loan permitted is limited by its justification – to cover basic living, business, medical and other and similar expenses during the litigation. The terms must be fair. The lawyer may not promise or offer the loan before being retained.
Id.at §48, Page 3-24. (Emphasis added.) On Oct. 18, 1995, this proposed modification to the Restatement was approved by Council for the American Law Institute and will be presented at the ALI's 1996 annual meeting.
The financial hardship created by the present rule often makes it impossible for financially distressed litigants with legitimate, substantial claims to weather the delays which naturally attend the civil justice litigation process. In those cases fair resolution of claims, the purpose for which the system exists, is no longer a driving force behind the litigation. The question instead becomes whether claimants can survive long enough to obtain the full legal redress guaranteed to them. It is incongruous that a system developed to serve justice, in an over-zealous attempt to address largely speculative and unquantified terrors, serves to visit horrors of a much more real and devastating nature on the public whom the members of the bar association and the entire justice system itself are dedicated to serve.
The Montana Supreme Court has on three occasions recognized the necessity for such humanitarian support under extreme circumstances. In a petition filed before it in the action of David Whitford v. Burlington Northern, Cause No. ADV 94-943, the plaintiff, the victim of a disabling injury, responsible for the support of his wife and young children and left with no financial resources or alternatives, found himself through no fault of his own in a desperate financial situation. He stood to lose everything that he had acquired through a lifetime of work. In addition, the stress placed tremendous pressures on the family relationships.
The Montana Supreme Court, reviewing all the circumstances, granted the plaintiff's petition and allowed his counsel to provide specific, limited financial support necessary for the plaintiff for living expenses during the pendency of his litigation. The relief was necessary and appropriate.
More recently, in In re: Tim Grant, Petitioner, Cause No. 95-087, the Court, facing similar circumstances, granted substantially identical relief to an injured worker disabled from his employment. The court allowed Plaintiff's counsel to "assist Grant in obtaining financial assistance by co-signing a bank loan to Grant for basic living expenses during the pendency of the resolution of his claim, said loan to be repaid at the time of recovery for his injuries." See order, supra, dated Nov. 21, 1995. In reaching its decision, the Court found that the attorney/client relationship was established "not as a result of, in consideration for or in contemplation of {the} offer of financially assist {the} client." The Court further concluded:
Moreover, under {the} facts and circumstances of this case, we conclude that the criteria set forth in our Order Re: Rule 1.8(e), Rules of Professional Conduct, dated November 21, 1995, are satisfied, to wit: the loan to Grant is needed to enable him to withstand delay in litigation that otherwise might unjustly induce him to settle or dismiss his case because of financial hardship rather than on the merits; that Grant's loan will be used only for basic living expenses; that Grant faces demonstrable financial hardship that relates to, and arises out of, the injuries and claims for which {his attorney} is representing him; and that {his attorney} did not promise, offer, or advertise the loan before being retained by Grant.
Id, at 4. (Emphasis added.)
Most recently, In re: Sharon McKnight, Petitioner, No. 96-047, the Supreme Court granted similar relief to a young woman prosecuting medical malpractice claims arising out of medical care which she contends has left her partially paralyzed and disabled.
Contemporaneously with entering its order in Grant, supra, the Montana Supreme Court, In the Matter of Rule 1.8(e), Rules of Professional Conduct, (Nov. 21, 1995) referenced above, has proposed an amended version of Rule 1.8(e) for comment by the Ethics Committee, the members of the Bar and other interested persons (See box on page 6.) Specifically, the Court has temporarily suspended Rule 1.8(e) and replaced it with what is in substance the existing rule, supplemented by a procedure whereby:
On a case-by-case basis, on good cause shown by application under Rule 17 M.R.App.P, and only on further order of this Court, the lawyer may make or guarantee a loan to the client on fair terms, the repayment of which to the lawyer may be contingent on the outcome of the matter, provided that the lawyer's application to the Court demonstrates that: (i) the loan is needed to enable the client to withstand delay in litigation that otherwise might unjustly induce the client to settle or dismiss a case because of financial hardship rather than on the merits; (ii) the loan is used for only basic living expenses; (iii) the client faces demonstrable financial hardship that relates to and arises out of the injuries and claims for which the lawyer is representing the client; and (iv) the lawyer has not promised, offered or advertised the loan before being retained by the client;…
At the end of a 150-day period provided for by the Order during which the Supreme Court will entertain comment and such petitions as are presented in accordance with the proposed Rule, the Court will take whatever action it considers appropriate.
In cases involving the death of or disabling injury to a family provider, or even in those cases where a prolonged period of rehabilitation or retraining will be involved, the humanitarian goals served by providing nominal support by way of living expenses is a realistic necessity given the fact of court delays which are inherent in existing civil justice procedures and protocols. No greater conflict exists between clients and their attorneys when all other costs may be advanced except necessary living expenses, and the conflict which exists in those cases where that is allowed. And in the context of major litigation involving death, disability or crippling injury to a client, the additional financial burden on the attorneys is a minimalistic consideration.
The number of persons applying for such relief during the comment period will hopefully be very small; but that is not a reflection of the need for and the appropriateness of amendment to the existing rule. For in those cases where such assistance is appropriate, reasonable and necessary, it is the lifeline that tort victims and their families need to survive.
If we truly are a profession dedicated to service objectives, such assistance should not be the exception to the rule, but in appropriate cases where the Montana Supreme Court's proposed criteria are met, should be the rule. Five states allow an attorney to either advance or guarantee loans "to clients for living expenses during pending litigation." See Patterson, supra, at 7. (Citations omitted.) The American Law Institute recently added its impetus to the need for change to the existing rule. It is time to add Montana to the list.
If disabled victims are not compensated for their injuries by those responsible for them, then they will be supported and living in the only way that they can, at the largess of the state.
When inefficiencies in the justice system make it impossible for litigants to survive long enough for the court and a jury to determine the issues before them, victims are placed in the unenviable position of accepting a fraction of the reasonable value of their claim and worrying about what the future will bring, rather than making the appropriate parties responsible for their defective products or negligent acts.
It isn't just the victim who suffers, but every taxpayer – all of society. For as surely as victims reach the end of their financial rope, they will become the responsibility of society at large. And the responsible party will "trick or cheat" justice once again.

While most of us have been told since childhood that no matter what a person says to us, we should never resort to violence in retaliation, Mississippi law takes a slightly different approach. Mississippi law recognizes that sometimes a person's words are so insulting, so hurtful, so repulsive, that the target of those words might be justified in retaliating with force.
Under Mississippi Code Annotated Section 99-17-19,
In all trials for assault and battery, or for an assault, the defendant may give in evidence, in excuse or justification, any insulting words used by the person on whom the assault or assault and battery was committed, at the time of the commission thereof, toward the defendant, and the jury may consider and determine whether such words were or were not a sufficient excuse for or justification of the offense committed.
In other words, if the defendant in an assault case was insulted by the victim, he is entitled to argue to the jury that the victim's comments to him justified the assault. Furthermore, the Court will instruct the jury that if they find that the insults justified the assault, then they should find the defendant "not guilty."
This defense basically allows the defendant to ask the jury to find him "not guilty," because the victim needed his butt kicked. Of course, it will be up to the jury to decide whether the insults were bad enough to justify the assault imposed upon the victim. The worse the insults, the more likely the jury will acquit the defendant.
It falls to defense counsel to convince the jury that the assault was justified. If you have an issue relating to a criminal case, you need a tough, smart lawyer to protect your rights. Please contact me for a free consultation.

Natural Woman -- so typical of many people we've known who have adopted NFP, through twists and turns and sometimes despite their pastors and DRE.Now, I say the rest of this with the following qualifiers:
(1) Believe it or not, I really try to be a faithful Catholic. Oh, Lord knows I mess up sometimes. I've never said otherwise (except to irritate my wife, but that's different).
(2) My wife and I practice natural family planning, because, first, I understand the theology associated with it, it makes sense, and even if it didn't, my name does not start with "Pope"; and, second, my wife and I are not cavalier about the side effects of the pill, especially in light of her family's history of breast cancer.
(3) I'm not really going after anyone here, at least in my usual bared-teeth way.
That said:
I'm calling bullshit.
My wife and I have used NFP since we got married. We were -- no pun -- religious about it. We understood the whole thing -- temperature, mucus, cervical position, even (a fourth dimension on the graph!) certain bodily sensations associated with ovulation. My wife is an engineer. I am the son of an engineer and a microbiologist. We both love to chart things. My wife is an obsessive compulsive. I'm a paranoid freak. We never miss a day of charting.
We wanted to wait, after we got married, for one year before having a family. We wanted to make sure we were settled in where we were gonna stay for a while, and we wanted to make sure we had enough money to properly care for the little one. (I've never bought, not cared much for, the "We had to get to know each other" crap as a reason to wait: If you didn't know each other before you got married, why did you say, "I do"?) Accordingly, my wife charted everything for months before we got married. We continued once the
We were married in June. We apparently conceived in late July. You know, less than two months later.
Don't get me wrong; I count as God's greatest blessing to me, my son. I love him much more than my own life. I would not have his existence any other way.
But let's be honest about this: If you buy the Church's, um, teaching, that NFP is 99% or so effective, you'll buy anything.
Yeah, but it's just one time, you say. Freak incident. The exception that proves the rule.
Au contraire, copains. My wife is now in sixteen weeks along with our second child. Same religious attention to detail. Had the doctor help this time to make sure. We had been planning to wait until about, oh, now, to do this; the starting gun went off early, apparently.
Again: Don't misunderstand. My life in trade for my children without hesitation. The tortures of Hell for their safety, in a heartbeat. I am fully aware of what those tortures are -- to some extent, I've lived them for periods of time -- and I say that even so.
If you have a very regular, set-your-watch-by-it cycle, NFP will work for you. Guaranteed. But for those women who do not -- who, like my wife, drop multiple eggs just at random, or who have variable cycles, or whatever -- you're playing with loaded dice. As my wife's extremely Catholic OB told her (the lady won't discuss any sort of "contraception" except NFP), when we told her that we think the wife is just scatter-shooting eggs, "Looks like you were made to be a Mommy."
Which brings me back to my point: People who use NFP -- or at least, a larger percentage than the folks at pre-Cana let on -- really are called "parents."
Just sayin'.

The Irish Times – Tuesday, November 3, 2009
by ÁILÍN QUINLAN
THEIR DREAM is to have a flying doctor-type service for the sprawling terrain in which they live, but so far one small community has helped save 11 lives with a special accident and emergency vehicle.
The West Cork Rapid Response service was established last March by a group of residents who decided their far-flung region needed extra emergency medical cover.
"If you live in a remote part of west Cork you could be two hours away from accident and emergency help," explained spokesman and Baltimore-based businessman, John Kearney.
"There are four ambulances based in the region, but there can be times when two or even three of them are already busy."
Long term, he said, the group aims to get a flying doctor-style helicopter service up and running, but they've started with a 4X4 operating out of Bantry which is staffed by volunteer doctors and carries vital medical equipment. The vehicle, which cost around €100,000 to purchase and equip – about €70,000 of which was grant-aided by the Department of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and the rest raised locally – went into operation last March under the 999 emergency call-out system following negotiations with the HSE.
The SUV is on call four to five days a week and can generally get to a scene within 45 minutes, said Mr Kearney.
"We have one or two doctors available on a part-time basis, while a number of GPs are currently up-skilling in AE techniques.
"Ultimately, we hope to have a full roster of doctors available on a 24-hour call-out rota, but at the moment we are operating on an availability basis.
"We're contacted through the 999 system and if we're on service we'll be dispatched. We're currently operating four or five days a week, but hope to build up to a seven-day roster."
Between March and September, the service took part in 60 call-outs. "We were called out to help everyone from babies to teenagers, adults and the elderly and dealt with everything from heart attacks to road traffic, domestic and marine accidents," said Mr Kearney.
The service – to be formally launched in Bantry by Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Minister Eamon Ó Cuív on Friday November 20th – depends heavily on volunteers.
"It wouldn't be possible without the GPs who give up their time and the dedicated committee members who do everything from fundraising to managing the rota system," he added.

Acquisition of Old Street Works
"It was a pleasure to work with Riverside Capital once again on this key acquisition in London's tech city."
We're delighted to have acted for our long-standing client, the Riverside Capital Group, on their £27.5m acquisition of 'Old Street Works' in the heart of "Tech City" on City Road, London.
Riverside Capital clients invested £16.2m in equity with the remaining funds being provided by Lloyds Bank Plc. 'Old Street Works' is a 33,179 square foot property which is situated close by to London's technology hub, the "Silicon Roundabout". The area is also home to the highest concentration of companies within London's thriving technology industry, which now employs more people in the capital than the finance industry.
The property is currently let predominantly as retail and office units with commercial tenants and restaurants on the lower floors, while the upper floors are home to businesses in the Technology, Media and Telecoms industry. Riverside Capital will strengthen this by reviewing rents of the existing tenants and letting the remaining vacant spaces.
Sasha Stupar of Riverside Capital said "We look forward to making this acquisition a success for our investors and commend EMW's commercial and pragmatic approach in progressing this transaction within tight timescales. We look forward to working with Nick and the team again in the near future."
Nick Lloyd led the EMW team which included Faye Meredith, Daisy Divoka, and Sean Halliwell.
If you would like to find out more about this deal, please contact Nick Lloyd.

Weekend Preview: Big Ten, Nov. 24Posted by: Jashvina Shah
If you're searching for some post-Thanksgiving hockey, look no further. Four Big Ten teams are playing this weekend – Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio State. It's the last weekend before Big Ten play, so it's the last chance for teams to get a tune up.
The toughest challenge of the week is definitely for the Spartans, who will face North Dakota. But the young Badgers also will have a tough weekend in a road trip out to Denver. Minnestoa's trip to Boston may also be difficult though, as the Gophers are still struggling to find their identity.
Michigan (5-4-1) vs. Lake Superior State (6-6-0): Nov. 25 at 7:35 p.m.; Nov. 26 at 7:35 p.m.
The Wolverines resume play after a 6-3 win over the NTDP. Michigan hosts Lake Superior State in its last weekend before Big Ten play. The Wolverines split their last series, earning a win and a loss against the Terriers. Michigan is an interesting team this year, since it's built on goaltending and defense instead of offense. Hayden Lavigne and Jack LaFontaine have been getting it done in net, making it tougher to score on the Wolverines than in years past.
Hayden Lavigne and Jack LaFontaine have been getting it done in net, making it tougher to score on the Wolverines than in years past. Lavigne has a .956 save percentage and LaFontaine has a.923 save percentage. Goaltending isn't the only place freshmen have had an impact, as Will Lockwood leads the team with 10 points.
The Lakers are on a five-game losing streak after dropping games to Ferris State, Michigan Tech and Minnesota State. Sophomore Mitch Hults' 15 points leads Lake Superior, while Gordon Defiel has a .907 save percentage. The Lakers appear better than they've been recently, and it's still tough to determine how good Michigan is.
Prediction: Michigan sweeps
Michigan State (3-6-0) at North Dakota: Nov. 25 at 7:37 p.m. CT; Nov. 26 at 7:07 p.m. CT
The Spartans will have quite a test this weekend as they travel to North Dakota. Michigan State has had a tough season, and goaltending and defense have not been up to par. Michigan State is coming off a 4-3 win over Ferris State and has won three games in their last five. Mason Appleton has 11 points while Ed Minney has a .879 save percentage.
North Dakota just snapped a string of struggles with a sweep over St. Cloud State. Prior to the 4-0 and 3-0 wins, North Dakota was winless in six games. Shane Gersich leads the team with 18 points, but Brock Boeser is right behind him with 16. Boeser was one of the best players in the country last year and is still one to watch. Cam Johnson has a.915 save percentage.
Even if North Dakota has been struggling, they're still a really good team – and Michigan State is not.
Prediction: North Dakota sweeps
Minnesota (5-3-2) at Northeastern: Nov. 25 at 7 p.m.; at Boston College Nov. 27 at 1 p.m.
The Gophers take another road trip, but this time to Boston where they'll face the Huskies and Eagles. Minnesota is coming off a series split against Minnesota State and a good showing against the Fighting Hawks. There's no question the Gophers are a very skilled team with talented players, but they've had trouble putting it all together. Tyler Sheehy has 12 points and Eric Schierhorn has a .900 save percentage.
Last weekend, Boston College suffered its first loss since Oct. 14. The Eagles reeled off wins over Maine, Providence, Wisconsin and Connecticut. Boston College's strength of schedule isn't that great, but for a team that lost a lot of key players in the offseason, the wins are still impressive. Ryan Fitzgerald has 16 points and freshman Joe Woll has a .923 save percentage.
The Huskies, meanwhile, have just one win over their last seven games. Their wins this season have been against Bentley, Arizona State and Providence. Zach Aston-Reese has 20 points and Jake Theut has gotten three starts recently and has a .935 save percentage.
Prediction: Minnesota sweeps
Wisconsin (6-4-0) at Colorado College (3-7-0): Nov. 25 at 7:37 p.m. MT; at Denver (7-2-3): 7:05 p.m. MT
The Badgers take a road trip to Colorado for Thanksgiving Weekend to face Colorado College and Denver. The Badgers split their series with Merrimack but didn't have freshman Trent Frederic. Per Todd Milewski, Frederic is week to week while goaltender Matt Jurusik is out 3-4 weeks. Freshman Jack Berry, starting in Jurusik's place, has a .956 save percentage. Grant Besse leads the team with 11 points, but Frederic has 11.
Four Colorado College skaters are tied for the team scoring lead with six points. Three different goalies have seen playing time, but Derek Shatzer has the best save percentage at .923 save percentage. It's been a rough season for the Tigers, who are on a three-game losing streak.
Denver has played better since dropping its first two games of the season. The Pioneers haven't lost in 10 games and are coming off a pair of ties against Miami. Freshman Henrik Borgstrom leads the team with 11 points, while Tanner Jaillet has posted a .935 save percentage so far.
The Badgers are fairly young and the injuries don't help. This road test – at least against Devner – will be a pretty big test.
Prediction: Wisconson beats Colorado College, loses to Denver
