New Jersey’s Pallone to head Congressional subcommittee on health
New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone was named Tuesday to chair the Congressional Energy and Commerce subcommittee on health.
The subcommittee deals with all aspects of healthcare including pharmaceutical issues and has sole jurisdiction over the FDA, the National Institutes of Health, Medicaid, and the Centers for Disease Control. It also shares jurisdiction of Medicare with the Congressional Ways and Means Committee.
Pallone said he wants the subcommittee to focus on reforming food and drug safety laws, focus on health issues concerning senior citizens and safeguard against public health emergencies such as bioterrorism and bird flu.
“This new Congress must address the inadequacies that currently exist in our broken health care system,” Pallone, D-Long Branch, told the Associated Press.

Tinnitus Cure May Lie in the Brain
Scientists were able to eliminate tinnitus—a persistent ringing in the ears—in rats by stimulating a nerve in the neck while playing a variety of tones. The finding gives hope for a future tinnitus cure in humans.
Tinnitus is usually a high-pitched tone in one or both ears, but can also sound like a clicking, roaring or whooshing sound. While tinnitus isn’t fully understood, it’s known to be a sign that something is wrong in the sound processing system. Something as simple as a piece of earwax blocking the ear canal can cause tinnitus, but it can also come from a number of health conditions—for example, from hearing loss after being exposed to loud noise.
There’s no known cure for tinnitus. Current treatments generally involve masking the sound or learning to ignore it. NIH-funded researchers set out to see if they could develop a way to reverse tinnitus by essentially resetting the brain’s sound processing system.
The researchers used vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), a technique known to release chemicals that encourage changes in the brain. They paired it with the playing of different tones other than the tinnitus frequency. This technique, the scientists reasoned, might induce brain cells to tune to frequencies other than the tinnitus one.
The researchers played various tones during VNS to noise-exposed rats with tinnitus 300 times a day for about 3 weeks. Both the rats’ behavior and brain activity tests showed that their tinnitus had disappeared.
“The key is that, unlike previous treatments, we’re not masking the tinnitus,” says Dr. Michael Kilgard of the University of Texas, one of the lead researchers. “We are eliminating the source of the tinnitus.”
VNS is already used to treat people with certain other conditions. The scientists are now planning to conduct clinical studies of VNS paired with tones in tinnitus patients.

Temporary workers draft legislation and guidance published
Under proposed changes to taxation laws in the UK, from 6th April 2016 certain temporary workers will no longer be able to claim relief for travel and subsistence expenses.
The current tax relief and disregard for National Insurance contributions (NIC) on travel and subsistence expenses rules allow for expenses claims incurred by these workers on their commute.
New restrictions
The newly published guidelines reveal that restrictions will apply to workers who are employed through an employment intermediary, which includes those who use an umbrella company.
Temporary workers who are employed by a recruitment agency or other employment businesses will also be affected.
Finance Bill 2016
The draft Finance Bill 2016 legislation, along with draft explanatory notes and guidance, has been published and feedback has been invited, with a closing date of 3rd February.
The consultation revolves around whether the new legislation will implement the new policy as intended, rather than as a consultation on the actual policy itself.
The aim of the new policy is to align the tax and NIC treatment of travel and subsistence expenses across the spectrum of temporary workers and contractors.
Workers who are not under supervision, direction, or control in their day-to-day work will be treated in the same way as the self-employed, and will be able to continue to claim relief as they do at the moment.

The WebVR site takes the viewer into Aleppo’s rubble-strewn streets for a powerful and disturbing “immersive” experience. Visitors to the “Fear of the Sky” site can navigate around full-screen “photospheres” which capture the apocalyptic scenes and sounds after barrel bombing attacks. The images also feature the brave rescue efforts of unarmed civilian volunteers – the “White Helmets” – from the Syrian Civil Defence teams.
A narration from Syrian activist Razan Ghazzawi, now based in Leeds, explains how Aleppo has been subjected to intensive bombing by thousands of highly indiscriminate barrel bomb munitions – fuel tanks or gas cylinders packed with explosives, fuel and metal fragments – thrown out of hovering Syrian government helicopters. The #360Syria tour takes the viewer through the sights and sounds following barrel bomb attacks in several residential areas of Aleppo (Al Ansari Sharqi, Al Shaar and Tareq al-Bab), a school playground in the Saleheddine district, a market in the Boustan Al Qasr district, and the city’s main civil defence building. It also features barrel bombs scenes in other parts of Syria such as Douma and Damascus.
Amnesty has launched the #360Syria site working closely with a group of Syrian media activists from Aleppo called Lamba Media Production (http://lambaproduction.com). In the aftermath of barrel bombings and other attacks, these citizen journalists have visited various attack scenes to document the aftermath and to create a long-term body of evidence of widespread human rights violations by all sides in the conflict. Amnesty has helped train the Lamba activists in 360-degree photography, recently providing the group with RICOH THETA S 360-degree cameras to further develop the project.
The Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has claimed that government forces do not possess or use barrel bombs, though their use has been widely documented. Syrian human rights monitors say that almost 20,000 barrel bombs have killed over 8,000 civilians in the past two years alone. In a report last year, Amnesty detailed the horrific damage done by Syrian government barrel bombing of Aleppo, where scores of people a month were being killed in the attacks – with schools, hospitals, mosques and crowded market places all hit (see: www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/syria-pure-horror-life-aleppo-under-assads-barrel-bombing-new-report).

73 N.W.2d 50 (1955)
Clarence ELSE, Guardian of Sim Cundiff, an Aged Person, and
Clarence Else, Guardian of Grace Cundiff, an Aged Person, Appellees,
v.
FREMONT METHODIST CHURCH of Fremont, Iowa, Appellant.
No. 48782.
Supreme Court of Iowa.
November 15, 1955.
*51 Ned P. Gilbert and Charles H. Scholz, Oskaloosa, for appellant.
Tunis H. Klein, Pella, and Bray, Carson & McCoy, Oskaloosa, for appellees.
LARSON, Justice.
This appeal involves an action in equity, brought by Clarence Else, guardian of Sim Cundiff and Grace Cundiff, against the defendant Fremont Methodist Church, wherein the guardian sought to have his wards' deed conveying a remainder interest in the wards' 134 acre farm to the defendant church, subject to a retained life estate in said wards, cancelled and set aside, and title to the property quieted in the wards as against the defendant, upon the grounds that (1) said wards were without sufficient mental capacity to execute said deed and (2) said deed was obtained from said wards by the exercise of undue influence by the pastor and the chairman of the board of trustees of said defendant church. The trial court found that the grantors lacked the requisite mental capacity and that their deed was obtained by the exercise of undue influence, and entered a decree for the plaintiffs. The defendant appealed.
The questions involved on this appeal are (1) whether the appellees satisfied the burden of establishing the claimed lack of mental capacity, (2) whether a confidential relationship existed of such nature as to cast upon the appellant any burden of proof with regard to the claim of undue influence, and if such burden was thereby cast upon the appellant, whether the appellant has met and satisfied that burden, and (3) whether any error was committed in excluding testimony of the grantors' attorney on the grounds of privilege.
Sim Cundiff and his wife Grace, the grantors of the deed in controversy, were 73 and 76 years of age, respectively, at the time of the execution of the deed. They had been married for 40 years, and no children were born as the issue of their marriage. Their only close relatives were Sim's one brother, and Grace's one sister. Sim had been a farmer all his life and he and Grace lived on and farmed a 120 acre farm located approximately two miles northwest of Fremont, Iowa. They also owned the real estate in controversy, said farm being triangular in shape with public highways constituting the north and east boundaries of the farm and a railroad right of way the southwest boundary thereof. In addition, they owned some livestock, farm machinery, bank accounts and government *52 bonds, having a total value of approximately $30,000.
Grace had been a member of defendant church many years, beginning with the time she was in high school and continuing until March 31, 1953, approximately six months after the deed in controversy was executed. She punctually attended church and was by her own statement a devout member. Sim Cundiff also attended this church, but did not become affiliated with it as a member until January 6, 1952.
Dr. Ernest A. Mathews, age 70, a Methodist Church minister since 1907, at the invitation of defendant church, came out of retirement and accepted a call as its supply pastor. He arrived in Fremont in June, 1951, and continued as such pastor until the summer of 1953. Upon arrival in Fremont, Dr. Mathews, seeking to become acquainted with his congregation, called at the Cundiff home in July, 1951, and became acquainted with Sim and Grace Cundiff. Thereafter until Sim sustained a cerebral hemorrhage on July 12, 1952, Dr. Mathews made further visits at the Cundiff home about once a month. A friendly relationship developed between them. On his second or third visit to the Cundiff home, in August or September, 1951, he had a conversation with Sim in the farmyard during which Sim said, without solicitation from Dr. Mathews: "I want to give $20,000 to the building of a new church and it must be on the highway." Dr. Mathews commented that the offer was a very wonderful thought for him to keep in mind, and thanked him.
In December, 1951, between Christmas and New Year's Day, Sim went to the bank with which he did business in Fremont and there delivered to his banker a check for $800 with the statement it was intended as a gift to the Fremont Methodist Church building fund, which check was subsequently turned over to the church treasurer. On Sunday, January 6, 1952, a ceremony for the reception of new members was conducted as part of the regular church service, at which time Sim received holy baptism and was received into the membership of the church. On this occasion Dr. Mathews made a public statement from the pulpit disclosing that a gift had been made to the building fund of the church by Mr. and Mrs. Cundiff. Without disclosing the exact amount, he stated that the gift was substantial. Soon after this Dr. Mathews and the church treasurer called at the Cundiff home to express the church's appreciation of the gift. On this occasion Sim stated the gift was "just a nest egg and he had another quarter." Dr. Mathews' public announcement was contrary to the Cundiff's desire to avoid publicity, and later on when the Cundiffs made a further gift of $400 to their church, they arranged that their tenant, Louis Meyers, mail his check for that amount to the church without any explanation that the Cundiffs were the actual donors, and for a time the church believed it was a gift from the tenant.
In the spring of 1952, following these gifts to the building fund, the church's trustees determined to canvass the church membership to ascertain whether there was any sentiment for the building of a new church building. In connection with this canvass, Dr. Mathews and W. O. McCurdy, chairman of the board of trustees of the church, stopped at the Cundiff home to interview Sim. Concerning this visit Grace testified: "S. E. was so concerned, he told them on this committee, `Let's build a church,'" but they informed him that the money wasn't available and the general congregation thought it wasn't feasible. Mrs. Cundiff also testified on one occasion during this period Sim said to her: "Grace, whenever we sell anything, if we have a little more than we need, we will put it on the building fund," and that there was similar talk for some months prior to the execution of the deed in controversy.
Later, on July 12, 1952, Sim suffered a cerebral hemorrhage which caused a partial paralysis of portions of his body and caused him to be confined to his bed for a period not definitely fixed by the Record. Sim's physical condition improved as time went on and he was able to sit in a wheel chair, and later on was able to get on his hands and knees and crawl, and still later on was able to walk about by leaning and *53 hanging on wires and other objects and without personal assistance from anyone. On September 28, 1952, four days after the deed was executed, Sim did walk from the barnyard to the house. Just before the deed was executed, he was able to be alone in the back yard of his home, exercising under the clothes line. Although his cerebral hemorrhage had affected his ability to talk plainly, he recognized his many visitors, was able to and did raise his hand in greeting, could answer questions by yes and no answers, and by signs and gestures was able to carry on conversations with his visitors and generally could make himself understood to them. His visitors included his neighbors, his farm tenants and their wives, several old family friends, his guardian, Clarence Else, and Mrs. Else, and Dr. Mathews, Mrs. Mathews, W. O. McCurdy, and W. O. McCurdy's daughter-in-law, Mildred McCurdy, most all of whom testified in this trial.
Mildred McCurdy, who moved to the Fremont community in 1949 upon her marriage to Leroy McCurdy, had never seen or heard of the Cundiffs until Sim's baptism on January 6, 1952, on which occasion Sim and Grace were identified as Mr. and Mrs. Cundiff. In March, 1952, she became personally acquainted with them. At Dr. Mathews' invitation she accompanied him and Mrs. Mathews to the Cundiff home for the purpose of playing her harp and singing religious hymns to Sim, she being an accomplished musician. Following this visit, Mildred's calls at the Cundiff home became more frequent and a closer friendship between Grace and Mildred developed after Sim's stroke, during the period from July 12 to September 24, 1952. Grace often called Mildred on the telephone urging her to come to their home, and she came to rely on Mildred to run errands for her, to bring her groceries from Fremont, and to do other similar favors for her.
During this same period Grace began to have difficulties with Sim's brother, Sam Cundiff. Sam's frequent visits to the Cundiff home disturbed and upset Sim, and Grace began to develop a feeling that Sam's motives were improper and he was endeavoring to become Sim's guardian. Sam's actions so dissatisfied her that on the evening of September 21, 1952, she sent her handyman, Archie Fuller, to Fremont to seek out Mildred McCurdy for the purpose of soliciting her aid. Mildred informed Fuller that she was a short-time resident of Iowa, she was not familiar with the Iowa laws, and she therefore did not feel competent to advise or assist Grace. Later on that same evening she received a telephone call from Fuller from his home in Ottumwa. In this call he informed Mildred that he had stopped at the sheriff's office in Ottumwa to discuss the situation and had been advised by the sheriff it was a matter for the Mahaska County authorities, and Grace should seek the aid and assistance of the Mahaska County Attorney, Garold Heslinga. He also stated that the sheriff had suggested it would be well to check into Grace's mental condition. On the following morning, Monday, September 22nd, Mildred drove to the Cundiff home and informed Grace of Mr. Fuller's message and the procedure suggested by him. Grace then decided she would go to Oskaloosa where she would see and consult Dr. Voigt, who was the family physician and who then had Sim under his care, relative to her own mental condition and would seek the aid and assistance of Heslinga. She requested that Mildred take her there for those purposes. They departed for Oskaloosa about 10 o'clock and arrived at Oskaloosa around 11 o'clock that same morning, with W. O. McCurdy, Mildred's father-in-law, furnishing the transportation in his car. On the way to Oskaloosa Grace expressed a desire to avoid climbing any steps to the second story office of the county attorney and suggested she would like to have W. O. McCurdy contact the county attorney and make an appointment to meet her at Dr. Voigt's office. Upon arrival at Dr. Voigt's office Mildred, Grace, and W. O. McCurdy, ascertained that Dr. Voigt would be unable to see them until 12:30 P.M. Thereupon Mildred and Grace left the office and went to a restaurant and ate lunch. Mr. McCurdy proceeded to Heslinga's office where he made arrangements to have Heslinga meet *54 Mrs. Cundiff at Dr. Voigt's office at the appointed hour of 12:30 P.M. At that time Heslinga came to the doctor's office and found Mildred, W. O., and Grace in the waiting room. He visited with them briefly, at which time Grace informed him of her difficulties with Sam and her desire for Heslinga's assistance. In their discussion Heslinga alluded to the fact that Sam Cundiff was Sim's sole heir-at-law and inquired whether any arrangements had been made concerning the devolution of their property in the event of their deaths. Grace informed Heslinga that she and Sim owned all of their property in joint tenancy and that provisions had been made whereby the survivor of Grace and Sim would acquire all of the property. Heslinga then inquired as to whether provisions had been made as to who should succeed to the property upon the death of both of them. Upon being informed by Grace that no such provision had been made, Heslinga suggested that immediate arrangements should be made by Grace and Sim to plan their estates and in connection therewith to execute suitable wills. Grace agreed to this procedure and thereupon she, Heslinga, W. O., and Mildred proceeded into the doctor's conference room, where Grace's difficulties with Sam Cundiff were again explained and the doctor was requested to express an opinion as to Grace's mental condition, and also as to her and Sim's testamentary capacity. Dr. Voigt interrogated Grace at length concerning the members of her family, her relatives and the extent of her property, and in the presence of all four then stated he was of the opinion Grace was of sound mind, she had testamentary capacity, and knew what she was doing and the consequences of her acts. Later he signed and delivered to Heslinga a similar statement of his opinion concerning Grace's testamentary capacity. He also expressed an opinion that Sim Cundiff was then of sound mind and had testamentary capacity.
The four then retired from Dr. Voigt's office and proceeded to the parked McCurdy automobile. Mildred McCurdy departed on a shopping errand, leaving Heslinga, Grace Cundiff and W. O. McCurdy seated in the car. Heslinga and Grace conversed at length concerning the provisions of Grace and Sim's proposed wills, and Heslinga made notes. It appears that he then informed Grace he would prepare the requested wills, and made an appointment to meet Grace and Sim at the Cundiff home at 10 o'clock the following morning, September 23, 1952, to execute their wills. On the way home Grace told Mildred they were going to will 50% of their property to the Fremont Methodist Church.
Heslinga prepared wills for Sim and Grace, and on the following morning, September 23, 1952, he drove to Fremont in his car, where he contacted W. O. McCurdy and W. O.'s son, James McCurdy, and made arrangements for them to accompany him to the Cundiff home for the purpose of witnessing the execution of Grace and Sim Cundiff's wills. This same morning Grace Cundiff told Mrs. Clarence Else, wife of the plaintiff guardian, she was making plans to execute her will and she desired to appoint Mrs. Else's husband Clarence as administrator of her estate. By the time Heslinga and W. O. and James McCurdy reached the Cundiff home that morning Clarence Else had responded to Mrs. Cundiff's message by coming to the house. Else and Louis Meyers, the farm tenant, were at the Cundiff home when Heslinga and the two McCurdys arrived. Heslinga went into the house and there had a conversation with Meyers and Else in which he informed them he had business to transact with the Cundiffs concerning their estate and requested them to leave. Else and Meyers then went outdoors and visited with the two McCurdy men while Heslinga conversed with the Cundiffs in the house. Upon retiring from the house Heslinga informed Else that Sim and Grace had not executed the wills he had brought with him, and there were certain changes to be made. Heslinga and the two McCurdy men then left in Heslinga's car, and he returned to his law office in Oskaloosa where he prepared new wills *55 incorporating the additional provisions and names of beneficiaries the Cundiffs desired named in their wills.
On the following morning, September 24, 1952, Heslinga again drove to Fremont in his car, picked up W. O. and James McCurdy as witnesses, and went to the Cundiff home for the purpose of having the Cundiff wills executed. Grace's will was read aloud and she then executed it and it was witnessed by the two McCurdy men. The prepared draft of Sim's will, Exhibit D-4, the provisions of which were similar to the will signed by Grace, was then read to Sim down to and including paragraph 3 thereof. At that point Sim indicated his dissatisfaction with its terms and pushed the will aside. He then indicated by sound and motion his desire to obtain some object lying upon the kitchen table, which was a piece of paper then on the table. This piece of paper was cut in a triangular shape. Those present endeavored to ascertain Sim's desires and the meaning of the paper. After extended questioning in which Sim could not make himself understood, Sim got out of his wheel chair, down onto the floor and grabbing the leg of Heslinga's trousers and crawling on his hands and knees led Heslinga, Grace and the others, outdoors to Heslinga's car, and by motions indicated his desire to take a ride. They got into the car and Heslinga drove the car in the direction indicated by Sim. He directed them south along the highway, past the crossroads to the railroad crossing at the southeast corner of the tenant farm, then back to the crossroads and west to the tenant house. They then proceeded west in the car to the railroad crossing at the northwest corner of the farm, then turned around and returned to the crossroads and then north to the Cundiff home. Upon their return Mrs. Cundiff suggested to all of them that the paper was in the shape of the tenant farm and perhaps it was intended to represent the farm. Heslinga then inquired of Sim whether he was trying to tell him something about the farm, and Sim, by word and by motion of his head, indicated he was. Then, through questions propounded by Heslinga and answers made by Sim, Sim indicated he wished to make a gift of the farm to the church, not by a will, but by a deed in which a life estate was to be retained by Sim and Grace. Heslinga explained the tax problems involved in such a transaction and the legal implications of a will as distinguished from a deed to be presently delivered. Heslinga told Mrs. Cundiff and Sim that a will could always be torn up and revoked but that a deed was final and could never be changed or revoked.
Informing the Cundiffs that he would prepare such a deed and return to their home later on that day for its execution, Heslinga, W. O. and James McCurdy returned to Fremont. Heslinga obtained a blank deed form and a plat book from the Fremont Bank and after determining the correct legal description of the real estate involved, he prepared the deed on a borrowed typewriter. He ate his lunch alone at a cafe in Fremont and then returned to the Cundiff home. W. O. McCurdy again went with him.
It appears during Heslinga's absence Grace Cundiff telephoned Mrs. Mathews and said to her: "I've a very happy surprise for you and Dr. Mathews. I want you to come right on out to our place." Dr. and Mrs. Mathews responded to this request by immediately driving out to the Cundiff home in their automobile. Upon their arrival at the Cundiff home Grace did not immediately reveal to them the plan to make a gift of the farm to the church. When Heslinga arrived, he informed Dr. Mathews he had some business to transact with the Cundiffs which concerned the church and he did not wish them to be present. Grace then joined Heslinga and Sim in the back yard while Dr. and Mrs. Mathews remained in the front yard and W. O. McCurdy went to the porch of the house. Heslinga then read the deed in full, including the acknowledgment certificate, to Grace and Sim. The deed was then executed by Grace and Sim, and Heslinga completed the acknowledgment form in his capacity as a notary public. Heslinga then called Dr. and Mrs. Mathews and W. O. McCurdy into the back yard and there, in *56 the presence of Sim and Grace, informed all those present that Sim and Grace had just made a gift of their tenant farm to the church, by deeding it to the church. The deed was then handed by Heslinga to W. O. McCurdy. W. O. McCurdy and Dr. Mathews, on behalf of the church, expressed their very great appreciation for the gift and Dr. Mathews offered prayer in thanks. McCurdy then handed the deed to Heslinga and instructed him to take it to Oskaloosa to be recorded. There is a dispute as to whether Sim or Grace voiced or indicated any objection to the recording or publishing of the deed. However, the following day Mr. Heslinga did send the deed to the Mahaska County Recorder for recording.
Upon being informed that his bill was $13.00, Grace prepared a check in that amount and handed it to Heslinga before he left for Oskaloosa. No one else paid Heslinga for these services. It further appears that Heslinga at no time ever represented or acted as attorney for the Fremont Methodist Church, Dr. Mathews, any of the McCurdys or the partnership which is known as the McCurdy Seed Company.
On the day after the execution of the deed, September 25th, Mildred McCurdy was at the Cundiff home and Mrs. Cundiff told her: "We deeded this other farm to the Church. It was all Sim's idea." At that time she showed Mildred the triangular piece of paper, and told her Sim had cut it out.
A birthday-wedding anniversary party was held at the Cundiff home on September 28th. Subsequent to that date, and on September 30th, the Oskaloosa Herald published a list of all deeds which had been recorded recently in the County Recorder's office, including the Cundiff deed to defendant church. Prior thereto Grace told Louis Meyers, their tenant, about the execution of the deed, but at the party there was no reference to the execution of the deed and no complaint was made concerning its execution.
It was following the recording of the deed and talks with various persons that Grace made complaint concerning its execution and delivery. The minister first heard of this change of heart when she called him on the telephone and threatened to "close the doors of the Church" unless they returned the conveyance. Thereafter Louis Meyers took Grace to Heslinga's office to solicit his aid in helping her obtain the return of the deed, and when he declined to help her, Meyers took her to the office of another lawyer, John Sproatt, to consult with him concerning the deed.
There is little controversy in the case as to the applicable law, and the correct result rests largely upon an accurate determination and application of the facts involved.
I. One of appellant's contentions is that the trial court erred in finding from the disclosed facts that a confidential relationship existed between Dr. Mathews and W. O. McCurdy, chairman of the church board of trustees, on one hand, and Sim and Grace Cundiff on the other hand, thereby putting the burden upon appellant to justify the deed. As usual in cases of this nature this question lies at the threshold of a proper determination of the lawsuit. The record, as voluminous as it is, contains little direct evidence bearing on the subject. True, there was the relationship of clergyman and parishioner, but it is well settled that such relationship alone is not conclusive of a confidential relationship. Coughlin v. St. Patrick's Church, 201 Iowa 1268, 203 N.W. 812; Humphrey v. Norwood, 213 Iowa 912, 918, 240 N.W. 232; Roller v. Roller, 201 Iowa 1077, 1082, 203 N.W. 41; Stonewall v. Danielson, 204 Iowa 1367, 1370, 217 N.W. 456; O'Neil v. Morrison, 211 Iowa 416, 233 N.W. 708. Indeed few relationships in name only do carry such import, but the true test has been set forth in several of our cases and reaffirmed as late as our past session. See Dibel v. Meredith, 233 Iowa 545, 549, 10 N.W.2d 28; Merritt v. Easterly, 226 Iowa 514, 284 N.W. 397; Knigge v. Dencker, Iowa, 72 N.W.2d 494. The object back of the rule is to prevent one standing *57 in a confidential relationship with another from gaining an advantage in a transaction with the cestui que trust, which may reasonably be the result of the confidence reposed. Thus before one is allowed to retain the advantages of the transaction, he must show that the cestui acted with freedom, intelligence, and full knowledge of all the facts. Utterback v. Hollingsworth, 208 Iowa 300, 225 N.W. 419, and cases cited therein.
Usually the burden is on one seeking to set aside a deed upon the grounds of mental incapacity and undue influence such as we have here, and he is required to prove the allegations, not by a mere preponderance of the evidence, but by clear, satisfactory and convincing evidence. Merritt v. Easterly, supra, 226 Iowa 514, 516, 284 N.W. 397; Crawford v. Raible, 206 Iowa 732, 745, 221 N.W. 474; Foster v. Foster, 223 Iowa 455, 457, 273 N.W. 165. It should therefore be necessary for one alleging a confidential relationship so as to raise a presumption that transactions between the parties are improper or fraudulent, and shift the burden of proving that the cestui acted freely and with full knowledge of all the facts, to prove that relationship in a clear and convincing manner. Popejoy v. Eastburn, 241 Iowa 747, 757, 41 N.W.2d 764. Some little confusion has resulted in the consideration of most any friendly relationship as a showing of confidential relationship, but far more is necessary. Evidence must be produced to show how and in what manner the alleged trust was reposed, and how the dominance was exercised. The facts giving rise to the relationship, the showing that the one party was actually in a position of dominance or superiority, and the cestui in a corresponding position of inferiority or subservience, the strength of will of one and weakness of the other, the intimate character of their relation, and the facts showing the manner in which trusts and confidences had been reposed in the dominant party, must appear. In other words, this relationship should be clearly shown and not left to conjecture.
We think here the trial court fell into error by assuming, because of the religious nature of the relationship, it was a confidential relationship. This may be a considered factor but is far from conclusive and the ultimate confidential relationship presumed. The trusts, confidences, reliance, dominance, and subversion must be shown. Judge Mantz, speaking for our court in Dibel v. Meredith, supra, 233 Iowa at page 551, 10 N.W.2d at page 31, clarified the meaning of confidential relationship as follows:
"It was the holding in the cited case [Merritt v. Easterly] based upon authority that a confidential relationship arises where one person gains the confidence of another and purports to act and advise with the other's interest in mind."
He also had this to say in the same case, 233 Iowa at page 549, 10 N.W.2d at page 30:
"A confidential relationship arises whenever a continuous trust is reposed by one person in the skill and integrity of another, and so it has been said that all the variety of relations in which dominion may be exercised by one person fall within the general term `confidential relation'." Citing 15 C.J.S., Confidential, p. 822; Pomeroy's Equity Jurisprudence, 3d Ed., section 956.
Judge Bliss further pointed out in the case of Merritt v. Easterly, supra, 226 Iowa 514, 284 N.W. 397, some of the acts and circumstances under which a presumption of confidential relationship properly exists. From a careful reading of that case it is quite evident the defendant here was not shown exercising such a dominance or relationship toward the grantors. In that case the grantee took a deed from the grantor on March 3, 1937, which was alleged to be a gift. In November, 1935, grantee had moved in grantor's home and thereafter took complete charge of her affairs and attended to every detail. He took charge of her bank account and check book, made all deposits and withdrawals. The evidence disclosed he did many other things purportedly with her "interest in mind." It *58 was pointed out therein this court had no intention of fettering the operation of the principles which have been consistently followed by this and other courts in cases involving the correct and just presumption arising from confidential relationships by undertaking to define the term or give the precise limits thereof. Nevertheless we find therein an excellent discussion of the subject and a rather clear explanation of the elements required to be proven to establish this relationship. It is just and proper to so protect weak, incompetent and trusting persons from the fraudulent efforts of unscrupulous persons, but it is also necessary, we think, to show first how and in what manner that trust was reposed and how the dominance was exercised. In that respect the plaintiffs here have utterly failed.
Except for the opportunity to exercise these influences, the evidence discloses no such relationship. We cannot say the usual pastoral visits at the Cundiff home by the minister and his wife, or an occasional call by the chairman of the church board of trustees, who was also the lay leader of this little 100-member church, especially after Sim's illness, can give rise to such an inference. There was no showing these men ever told the Cundiffs what to do, nor were they consulted about any business matters. It is true Mrs. Cundiff said, in answer to a leading question, they consulted about religious and business matters. Her testimony was as follows:
"Q. Did you place trust and confidence in Mr. Mathews? A. Yes, sir. We sure did.
"Q. Also Mr. McCurdy? A. We sure did. I thought he was a Christian man.
* * * "Q. Did they discuss religious matters with you? A. Oh, yes.
"Q. And some business matters? A. Yes. But I didn't always know about that, that would be in the back yard."
But no further details were related. These were important, if true, to establish the alleged relationship, and without evidence thereof, it is of little value to the court.
It is most difficult to find any evidence of the demands or dominance of this minister or Mr. McCurdy, or the subservience of the Cundiffs. They handled no business matters for the Cundiffs and, except for pleasant social relations, we find no evidence of dependence upon them. As a matter of fact, the Cundiffs seemed to be the ones who did the demanding, and these church people, including the daughter-in-law of Mr. McCurdy, a talented musician, and other neighbors and friends, went out of their way to be kind to them and do acts of servitude, especially after Sim's illness. See O'Neil v. Morrison, supra, 211 Iowa 416, 233 N.W. 708.
The fact that McCurdy and his daughter-in-law provided transportation to Oskaloosa on September 22nd at the request of Mrs. Cundiff, does not infer a relationship of dominance over her or her husband. There is nothing at all in this record to show the grantors reposed any special faith and confidence in any suggestions of McCurdy or the minister, certainly not to the extent that they sacrificed their own ideas to those of the church officers. Indeed the evidence disclosed complete independent thinking for themselves, for Mrs. Cundiff wanted a will drawn to her liking, and Mr. Cundiff did not want a will but a deed to his liking. Not once does it appear that the minister or McCurdy offered even a suggestion, to say nothing of a demand for a deed or specific provision or a bequest in the wills for the benefit of the church. We cannot infer from their opportunity or even their disposition to do so that they did so, and thus relieve the parties who would set aside the deed from proving by clear, satisfactory and convincing evidence that its execution and delivery was obtained by undue influence, fraud, or due to the mental incompetency of the grantors. Their relationship was not shown to be any more pronounced than that of many other friends and neighbors who frequently came in to assist at the time of Mr. Cundiff's illness and convalescence. We conclude therefore plaintiffs have failed to prove the alleged trust, confidence, *59 reliance or dominance required to establish the confidential relationship alleged.
II. The trial court found the defendant did not sustain the burden of proof imposed by law on it to show no unfair advantage was taken of the Cundiffs in the transaction. This conclusion, due to our difference with the trial court in Division I hereof, is therefore also in error. It was not defendant's burden, for we determined the alleged confidential relationship had not been established. Therefore, the burden remained the plaintiffs' to prove undue influence by clear, satisfactory and convincing evidence. Merritt v. Easterly, supra, 226 Iowa 514, 516, 284 N.W. 397; Mastain v. Butschy, 224 Iowa 68, 84, 276 N.W. 79. The expression of this court found in In re Estate of Mott, 200 Iowa 948, 205 N. W. 770, approved in Worth v. Pierson, 208 Iowa 353, 223 N.W. 752, and Arndt v. Lapel, 214 Iowa 594, 603, 243 N.W. 605, 609, is as follows:
"`"Influence, to be undue, within the meaning of the law, must be such as to substitute the will of the person exercising the influence for that of the testator, thereby making the writing express, not the purpose and intent of the testator, but that of the person exercising the undue influence. It must be equivalent to moral coercion, must operate at the very time the will is made, and must dominate and control the making of it. [Citing many cases.] * * * Undue influence is not established by proof of opportunity to exercise it. Importunity, request, and persuasion that do not go to the point of controlling the will of the testator are not enough, nor is it established by proof of opportunity and disposition so to do. [Citing cases.] * * * Contestants must go further than this, and show not only the existence of the facts, but that said undue influence existed, and controlled the maker of the instrument in the disposition he made of his property, substituting the will of the person exercising the influence for the will of the person making the writing."'"
Also see Knigge v. Dencker, recently handed down by this court and written by Justice Thompson, Iowa, 72 N.W.2d 494, and cases cited therein.
As to the law of undue influence, little further need be said. Relationship of the parties, improvidence of the gift, activities of beneficiaries, and weakened mental condition might under some circumstances become important. It is manifest to us that under the record these elements did not control, and what we said as to the failure to prove facts that would give rise to a confidential relationship also applies here. See Osborn v. Fry, 202 Iowa 129, 209 N.W. 303; Humphrey v. Norwood, supra, 213 Iowa 912, 918, 240 N.W. 232. Although the burden of proof was not upon it, we think defendant has shown good faith in its relationship with the Cundiffs. There is no showing it interfered or tried to interfere with the wishes or decisions of either Grace or Sim Cundiff.
It will be recalled Grace gave detailed instructions as to how she wished her will drawn and the attorney took notes on two occasions in order to incorporate therein the specific bequests desired by her. There is no contention McCurdy, who was present the first time, made even a suggestion. It was her desire that both prepared wills, hers and Sim's, provide that 50% of the balance left after both were deceased should go to the church building fund. There is no contention that after her will was so prepared she did not sign it in the presence of witnesses, or that Sim did not refuse to sign his will, and in doing so indicated he had other ideas about the tenant farm. When questioned by their attorney at that time, it developed Sim wished to deed that farm to the church rather than will 50% of all their remainder. When the legal implications of such a transfer were explained to him by the attorney, in her presence and in the presence of others, Sim signified that was his desire, and the deed was prepared. Rather than a straight deed, it provided for a life estate in Sim and Grace Cundiff and was executed and delivered in the afternoon of September 24, 1952.
We have carefully reviewed the record and find nowhere even the slightest indication *60 that the will of either the minister or the board chairman was substituted for that of Sim or Grace Cundiff. As heretofore pointed out, if kindness or willingness to help these good people could supply that fact, then all the neighbors thereabout, including their tenants and their present guardian, must be viewed with suspicion, for they also called on the Cundiffs frequently after Sim's stroke and offered help and assistance. No doubt there was a feeling of gratitude toward all these people by the Cundiffs, but clearly we cannot infer thereby a dominance over Sim and Grace. They too, or most of them, were listed as beneficiaries under the prepared wills. But as previously pointed out, even if all these parties had tried to persuade the action of the Cundiffs, that would not have been sufficient, for the law requires a clear and convincing showing that the grantor's will was not his own but that of the party benefited by the instrument, to constitute the exercise of undue influence. Clearly then, the fact that several months before the illness of Sim, the minister and the board chairman had stopped to solicit church funds and report on a canvass to determine the feasibility of a church building program, did not furnish the basis of a superimposed will causing the execution of the deed.
True, there was no consideration for the deed, but clearly none was intended, for it was a gift in contemplation of death. It can scarcely be called an improvident gift, for besides having the life use of the property, the Cundiffs still had a farm of about the same size and about $30,000 in cash and bonds. They had no children, and there were only a brother of Sim's, whom Grace did not like but feared, and a sister of Grace's, who seemed to be of no interest to Grace.
As a matter of fact, it rather clearly appears the Cundiffs wished to do for the church. They had, before Sim's illness, given $800 at one time and $400 at another through a tenant. They wanted a new church built. Defendant contends, with some merit, it was the publicity they received due to the recording of the deed that caused the trouble. Whether it was that or the comments of their neighbors, it is evident they did change their minds. Even though they were warned by their lawyer at the time of the execution as to the import of a deed, they nevertheless now apparently wish to otherwise dispose of that property. Mrs. Cundiff testified that when she signed the deed, she knew it was a deed, and that before she signed it Heslinga said: "Mrs. Cundiff, if you sign a will, you can just tear it up, but you couldn't do a deed that way," and "Mrs. Cundiff, after you sign a will, you can have it changed, but you can't do a deed that way." She also testified that the deed "was Sim's idea" and that she signed it to please Sim. It is now too late to change their minds, for deeds may not be so easily upset. It was grantors' desire then, and if either of them thereafter became unsound of mind, who can say their desire thereafter is the right one? Sim suffered with arteriosclerosis, and how far that malady had developed does not appear. It is well known that it is a progressive disease and it is quite possible that he soon thereafter reached the stage where his mind was unsound. Clearly after that his will could not be determined.
We find support for this conclusion in Leonard v. Leonard, 234 Iowa 421, 428, 12 N.W.2d 899, 902, where we said:
"In order to set aside a deed such as the one in the present case the burden is upon the plaintiff to establish by clear, satisfactory and convincing testimony that the grantor at the time he signed it did not understand in any reasonable manner the nature of the particular transaction in which he was engaged and the consequences and effects upon his rights and interests. Foster v. Foster, 223 Iowa 455, 273 N.W. 165, and cases cited; * * *. The courts have uniformly upheld the right of every person to dispose of his property freely and in accordance with his wishes and have refused to permit such right to be disturbed without strong proof. * * * Our decisions uniformly hold that to set aside an instrument on the *61 ground of undue influence there must be such persuasion as results in overpowering the will of a person or prevents him from acting intelligently, understandingly and voluntarilysuch influence as destroys the free agency of the grantor and substitutes the will of another person for his own." Citing Osborn v. Fry, 202 Iowa 129, 209 N.W. 303, and Gates v. Cole, 137 Iowa 613, 115 N.W. 236.
Only by sheer conjecture could it be found here there existed any basis for a finding that the will of the grantor had been superimposed for nowhere do we find any testimony that anyone suggested that the Cundiffs deed the triangular or tenant farm to the church. Mrs. Cundiff herself said it was all Sim's idea.
Then too, undue influence must operate at the very time the instrument is executed. In re Estate of Brooks, 229 Iowa 485, 493, 294 N.W. 735; In re Estate of Eiker, 233 Iowa 315, 317, 6 N.W.2d 318. The rule was well announced in In re Estate of Hollis, 324 Iowa 761, 769, 12 N.W. 2d 576, 581, where we said:
"Undue influence, although of course it may be proven by circumstantial evidence, must be such as to substitute the will of the person exercising it for that of the testator, thereby making the writing express the purpose and intent of such person, not of the testator. It must be equivalent to moral coercion. It must operate at the very time the will is made and dominate and control its making. It is not established by proof of opportunity and disposition to exercise it. Importunity, request and persuasion that do not control the will are not enough." (Citing cases.)
Also see Campbell v. Hale, 233 Iowa 264, 6 N.W.2d 128, for effect of available opportunity for independent advice.
It is interesting to note, in regard to Grace Cundiff's declarations as to her intent on the execution of the deed, this pronouncement in In re Estate of Eiker, supra, at page 317 of 233 Iowa, at page 320 of 6 N.W.2d:
"We have uniformly held that the fact of the exercise of undue influence cannot be established by proof of declarations of the testator made before or after the execution of the will, such declarations not being substantive evidence of undue influence. There must be some substantive evidence of the exercise of undue influence before declarations may be considered."
Reasonable limits of an opinion do not permit a discussion of all the contentions relating to undue influence. However, we conclude there was insufficient clear, satisfactory, and convincing proof of undue influence exercised by defendant in procuring the deed.
III. Perhaps plaintiffs' principal contention is that both Sim Cundiff and his wife Grace did not have mental capacity to execute the deed, and did not know or realize the import of their act. Such contention likewise demands of plaintiffs clear, satisfactory, and convincing evidence. We find no merit in the contention as to Grace Cundiff. The most persuasive evidence produced as to her mental capacity was from her own doctor, Dr. Voigt, who said, after an examination of her two days before the deed was signed, that she was mentally competent to execute such instruments. Grace said she was nervous, distracted and mentally disturbed due to Sim's illness, and though she knew she was signing a deed, and its import, she was doing it to humor Sim and did not think it would amount to any actual transfer. Several friends and neighbors testified she appeared distraught and mentally disturbed after Sim's illness, but none said she was of unsound mind. Mere mental weakness in a grantor is not grounds to invalidate a deed. In Nowlen v. Nowlen, 122 Iowa 541, 546, 98 N.W. 383, 384, we said:
"Mere mental weakness in a grantor will not invalidate a deed. To have that effect, the mental powers must be so far deteriorated or destroyed that the grantor is incapable of understanding in a reasonable *62 degree the nature and consequences of the instrument he executes."
Also see Paulus v. Reed, 121 Iowa 224, 96 N.W. 757; Gernhart v. Gernhart, 194 Iowa 487, 185 N.W. 483.
Plaintiffs' witnesses said Grace was "worked up like anyone would be," and "Grace appeared to be very distraught and worked up" due to Sim's stroke and physical disability. Dr. McNichols, called by plaintiffs, did not express an opinion as to her mental soundness. We think there is no question that she had the mental capacity to execute the deed on September 24, 1952, knew exactly what she was doing, and knew the consequences of the act. She said she knew it was a deed, but thought it was all being done to please Sim and therefore meant nothing; in other words, was all a hoax upon her unfortunate spouse. We doubt that story.
As to Sim the evidence, though somewhat stronger, is still insufficient to satisfy us he was of unsound mind or did not know what he was doing on the date the deed was executed, or that he did not have the ability to comprehend and understand the nature of his act and its consequences. See 26 C.J.S., Deeds, § 54, page 264, note 95. Mere weakness of mind, or periods of unsoundness of mind in or about that time, are not sufficient proof of mental incapacity to execute a deed if at the time of its execution it clearly appears one has the capacity to comprehend and understand the nature of his act and its consequences. Nowlen v. Nowlen, supra; Altig v. Altig, 137 Iowa 420, 423, 114 N.W. 1056; Cavanagh v. O'Connor, 186 Iowa 257, 264, 169 N.W. 747; Coughlin v. St. Patrick's Church, supra; Leonard v. Leonard, supra; Keune v. McCauley, 228 Iowa 607, 609, 293 N. W. 25.
Here too plaintiffs offered no testimony as to Sim's actual mental condition on the day the deed was executed. An expert witness, Dr. McNichols, produced by plaintiffs, freely admitted that one suffering from the ailment such as Sim had, might possibly have subsequent sane or lucid intervals, though a permanent recovery was not possible. It is true Dr. Campbell, a physician who examined him some months later, found him to be of unsound mind, and said in his opinion that condition existed at the time of the conveyance. But on the other hand, Dr. McNichols, who attended Sim at the time of the stroke in July, 1952, said it was not too severe and he would improve both physically and mentally sixty or ninety days thereafter. On the day of the stroke Dr. McNichols considered him of unsound mind, but did not examine him thereafter and did not know whether he was of sound or unsound mind on September 24, 1952. However, from his experience with like cases, the greater percentage of cases did not result in the patient's loss of a sound mind. "They are of sound mind following a stroke such as Sim Cundiff sustained," he said.
There was the usual testimony of nonexperts as to Sim's mind, and the tenor of those opinions was that, although he knew and recognized them, because he had a blank expression on his face, could only talk or make himself understood with difficulty, mostly answering questions with yes or no, could walk very little and did not show too much interest in things about him, he was of unsound mind, at least at times; also that he was forgetful. They are not very helpful, nor are the facts upon which these witnesses based their opinions as to Sim's mental soundness. See Olson v. Olson, 242 Iowa 192, 204, 46 N.W.2d 1, 40 A.L.R.2d 1. None testified as to the state of his mind on September 24, 1952, the day the instrument was signed. On the other hand, Dr. Voigt, Sim's physician of several years past, expressed the opinion to the Cundiffs' attorney, Mr. Heslinga, two days before the deed was signed that he thought Sim of sound mind and able to execute a legal document.
The undisputed testimony that Sim rejected the will Grace had drawn for him and in a rather ingenious manner indicated the land he wished to deed to the church instead, and the answers given to Attorney Heslinga when he inquired as to Sim's desire, seems to lead to the conclusion he did at that time have the capacity to comprehend *63 and to understand the nature of his act and its consequences. Even Grace said "It was all Sim's idea." As a matter of fact it was a gift which probably would be less than 50% of the remainder after Grace and Sim died, and reasonably could be expected to result in lower court costs in realization. It disclosed a rational decision, if they desired to give a substantial gift to the church.
We fail to find in these undenied transactions any clear or convincing evidence of undue influence or mental incapacity of either party, and therefore plaintiffs' contentions that such existed at or near the time of the deed's execution must fail.
It may be conceded that weakened mental condition such as Sim Cundiff suffered is a factor to be considered, but here he was attended by his wife Grace and his attorney Heslinga, and only by them at the time of the execution of the deed. It must be concluded they would not have permitted him to sign the deed if they had not been convinced he knew what he wanted, what he was doing. They were his helpers and were in a position to give him independent advice or the guidance he might desire. Merritt v. Easterly, supra, at page 528 of 226 Iowa, at page 404 of 284 N.W. Even from plaintiffs evidence it satisfactorily appears that on September 24, 1952, the grantors intended the deed to the land in controversy should be delivered to defendant herein. It would unduly extend this opinion, already too long, to comment at length upon all the testimony and conflicting evidence on Sim's mental soundness, so we say upon the whole record plaintiffs have failed to show by clear, satisfactory, and convincing evidence that Sim or Grace were so mentally incompetent at the time the deed was made that they did not know what they were doing or understand the consequences of their act.
We are supported by a host of cases, among which are: Merritt v. Easterly, supra, 226 Iowa 514, 516, 284 N.W. 397; Crawford v. Raible, supra, 206 Iowa 732, 745, 221 N.W. 474; Keating v. Augustine, 213 Iowa 1336, 1347, 241 N.W. 429; Foster v. Foster, supra, 223 Iowa 455, 457, 273 N.W. 165. Furthermore there is a strong presumption in favor of the grantors' mental competency. Evers v. Webb, 186 Iowa 1172, 1178, 173 N.W. 264; Wilson v. Wilson, 240 Iowa 26, 34 N.W. 2d 911.
In Coughlin v. St. Patrick's Church, supra, 201 Iowa 1268, 1280, 203 N.W. 812, we said:
"While the case is close on the fact question of mental competency,more so than on the question of undue influence, we are of the opinion that, at the time of the execution of the conveyances, the grantor was possessed of such mental capacity as enabled him, in law, to execute the deeds in question."
Perhaps the most significant fact on the issue of mental capacity is the apparent willingness of Grace to permit Sim to sign the deed and to join him in doing so, and the fact that Sim's own attorney, Garold Heslinga, permitted him to execute the deed after consulting with Sim's own physician, Dr. Voigt, relative to Grace and Sim's mental condition. These facts are quite persuasive of the regularity of this transaction.
IV. In arriving at a conclusion different from that of the trial court, we are aware that we have said many times we give serious consideration to the findings of that court because it saw and heard the witnesses. However, we are not bound by its finding, especially in matters like the one at hand where the law is not in dispute and the witnesses who testified to various facts were apparently attempting to tell the truth. There appears to be no serious question of credibility or veracity which should be left to the trial court's better determination. We must, we think, determine for ourselves whether the case has been established by clear, satisfactory, and convincing evidence. Of course this matter is reviewable de novo. Peddicord v. Peddicord, 242 Iowa 555, 47 N.W.2d 264.
It is here not a question whether these witnesses have an honest and abiding convictim *64 as to their expressed opinions on the mental capacity of the parties, but whether the facts they relate are sufficient to support such opinions and convince the court of their correctness. Those opinions are not controlling. They did not refer to the time the deed was made, and some of them did not express the belief Sim was at all times unable to know what he was doing or what was going on. Quite the contrary, he knew most of them at all times and conversed with them the best he could with his speech defect. We attach little significance to the fact he sometimes tried to put a lighted end of a cigar in his mouth, and on one occasion started to wash his feet with his socks on. Many sane old men are just that forgetful. At the most these incidents could disclose only a weakness of mind and body or a forgetfulness common to people of his age, and not a condition which disclosed an inability to know or understand the nature of his acts and their consequences.
We must therefore differ with the conclusions of the able trial court in this matter.
V. We should not conclude this opinion without some comment upon the unfortunate reflection cast upon Mr. Heslinga, the attorney who was drawn into this controversy by being employed by Mrs. Cundiff. We are convinced he served only the Cundiffs. They alone paid him for his services. As the attorney for the Cundiffs we are convinced he furnished them independent, good, and correct legal advice, and nothing is shown to substantiate a charge that he conspired to aid the church obtain the deed in controversy. He received only $13 for his services, which consisted of a conference in Oskaloosa and two trips to the Cundiff home near Fremont, plus the preparation of four wills and a deed. The only possible mistake he made was to assume the Cundiffs wanted their friend Mr. McCurdy as a witness to the wills and took him and his son along for that purpose. However, there is not the slightest indication he was acting for the minister, Mr. McCurdy, or anyone but the Cundiffs. It is suggested the neighbors could have been used as witnesses, but it does not appear the attorney personally knew them or that they may have been desired by the Cundiffs.
VI. Defendant's counterclaim, which prayed that its title to the real estate be quieted subject only to the life estate of Sim and Grace Cundiff, should be upheld. The trial court's dismissal of the counterclaim, as well as its cancellation of the deed, must therefore be reversed.
Reversed and remanded for decree in accordance with this opinion. Reversed and remanded.
All Justices concur except OLIVER, C. J., and PETERSON, J., who take no part.

UCP LEADER TAKES A SHOT AT THE PM—NO BACKSIES
The UCP leader isnt taking back anything he said this week about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
During an interview with the Calgary Sun—Jason Kenney was asked what he thought about the Prime Minister’s handling of the TransMountain matter..
Kenney said Trudeau doesnt have a clue what he’s doing—he’s an empty, trust-fund millionaire who’s got the political depth of a finger bowl–and cant read a briefing note longer than a cocktail napkin.
And when he was talking about it with reporters yesterday—he said he stands by his statement:
“I worked with dozens of MP’s in Ottawa, including critics who were thoughtful, intelligent, engaged people with whom I had a constructive relationship. Um–he wasnt one of them.”
For her part, Premier Rachel Notley thinks its more personal:
“I would suggest anyone who is presenting themselves as being equipped to lead the province—needs to learn very quickly—to rise above personal hostilities—and that is not what we see demonstrated in this.”

Hotel intern stole from guests
A student of the School of Hospitality program at the University College of the Cayman Islands received a suspended sentence on Thursday after pleading guilty to stealing from four guests at the hotel where he was gaining experience as an intern.
Joseph Maitland, 19, entered his guilty plea in July. Sentencing was postponed until this week for a social inquiry report.
Senior Crown counsel Tanya Lobban said the offense occurred at the Caribbean Club on May 29, about a week before Maitland would have graduated from the hospitality program.
Guests at the Caribbean Club returned to their rooms, which could only be accessed with a digital key, to find money missing. One man found that between US$700 and US$800 was missing from a closet. Another man found that US$180 was missing from his wallet, which he had left in a backpack. Two women reported US$300 missing from each of their handbags, which had been on the floor of their bedrooms. The total missing cash was US$1,580.
The matter was reported to management and an investigation showed there was no forced entry. Inquiries were made among staff who had been issued digital keys.
Maitland’s supervisor found out that he had left work early. It was also learned that Maitland was not scheduled to be in that apartment that day for any work-related reason.
The intern had a digital key because his duties included taking luggage to guests’ rooms.
When police searched Maitland’s room at his home, they found US$250. In an interview with police, Maitland initially denied taking the money, saying he was holding it for a friend. The friend was contacted and told officers she had not given him any money to hold.
Meanwhile, police took fingerprints and shoe prints from the apartment.
In a second interview a week later, Maitland admitted going through the rooms and stealing the cash. He said he wrapped most of the money in tissue and hid it in the bush near Abacus Restaurant; when he went back for it, it was gone.
On Monday this week, Ms. Lobban set out details of the charge, defense attorney Laurence Aiolfi spoke in mitigation and Magistrate Valdis Foldats adjourned the matter to decide whether the offense should be punished by immediate imprisonment.
Program’s reputation said to be tarnished
Ms. Lobban said the theft had tarnished the hospitality program. Companies would be reluctant to take on young people from the program, which was designed to introduce them to work in the hospitality industry.
In his remarks on Thursday, the judge cited a recent employee theft case that had been appealed to the Grand Court. In that case, Justice Malcolm Swift allowed the appeal against an immediate jail sentence for theft of CI$946, saying the amount was small. “I am bound by Justice Swift’s ruling,” the magistrate said.
But, he noted, the Crown had said there were other factors to consider, including harm to the reputation of the hotel and Cayman’s tourism industry. The court heard that the Caribbean Club had severed its relationship with the intern program, thereby affecting placement for future students.
As a result of this offending, Maitland has been suspended from UCCI for one year. He will not be allowed to return to the program. He was emotionally distressed by his action and the impact it had on his family, to the point that he was admitted to hospital at one stage, Mr. Aiolfi said.
The magistrate noted that the court had to send a message that theft in the tourism industry will likely result in imprisonment.
The magistrate imposed a four month sentence, reduced from six months for the guilty plea discount, and suspended it for two years.
He gave Maitland a year to pay back the stolen money to the Caribbean Club, which had already reimbursed the guests.

I watch this on the news and all i could do was hold my head down in shame. What a dumb move. All this person did was hurt the real young people who want a job of service. But by watching that news report you would think that they had won a million dollars or something like that. I am sorry if this upsets anyone but because he has messed up the opportunity for other young people to get the chance to work at that Hotel he should go to jail to know that he messed up big time for others.
I don’t know the specifics of the case against this young man nor his criminal background if any so I cannot really speak to why he wasn’t sentenced to jail time. So all I can offer is my opinion which is the punishment doesn’t equal the damage that was done not just to the to the guests that will spread this news, the Hotel Reputation as well as Caymans reputation but to all the young people that will now lose the opportunities that this program would have created.

Most Bluetooth Smart Locks can be Hacker, says Researcher
A researcher, at Defcon in Las Vegas, said that most of the Bluetooth Smart Locks currently in use could be hacked into easily by unauthorized users. He also expressed his concern with vendors’ lack of intent to overcome this.
Anthony Rose, an electrical engineer, and Ben Ramsey, a security researcher, tested 16 Bluetooth smart locks and said that 12 of those were unlocked when attacked wirelessly. The difficulty in carrying out the feat ranged from shockingly minimal to a little moderate, according to the researchers. They tested locks from companies like iBlulock, Ceomate, Vians, Elecycle, Okidokey, and Mesh Motion.
Anthony Rose said that his partner and he had aimed at finding vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth smart locks and then contacting the vendors to let them know about it. After doing so, though, they said that only one of the twelve vendors got back to them, and the one that did get back responded that they knew about the issue but would not solve it.
According to Rose, the problem does not necessarily lie with the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, but it is the way Bluetooth communications are implemented by the locks that are dangerous to the users. For example, he said that four of the locks that Ramsey and he tested sent the passwords as plaintext to the user’s smartphone. Anyone with a Bluetooth sniffer can intercept this message and use the password.
There are vendors, though, that encrypt the password to protect the user. However, not all of them make it as secure as it should be. One vendor did not decrypt the password when being entered. This means that intercepting the encrypted password and then sending it in that same format could easily let any unauthorized user gain access to the lock.
Okidokey smart lock said that they use proprietary software for their job. Since the researchers knew that his approach had flaws, they tried sending random bits to the lock to see what would happen. By simply changing one bit in the encrypted message they were able to send the lock in an error state which led to it being unlocked.
Mesh Motion’s Bitlock bicycle lock proved to be the toughest opponent for Rose and Ramsey, but they succeeded eventually. They replicated the lock’s wireless profile on an Android phone using free software and then mounted a man-in-the-middle attack on the communication between the traffic through the lock, the app, and Mesh Motion’s cloud.
The encryption depended on a nonce, which is a randomly generated number that aids in encrypting the text randomly. However, on studying the pattern, the researchers found that two encrypted messages only differed by one digit, which enabled them to gain access to the lock.
More than the ease of breaking into these Bluetooth Smart Locks, the researchers were surprised at the vendors’ unwillingness to act upon it. They said that these vendors should use good encryption and multi-factor authentication techniques like those used by the four locks they could not hack into.

PRM Channel Best-Practices Blog
The overarching best practice in deal registration is to design your process with partners’ interests in mind, and they’ll register deals without too much prompting from you. If a partner’s relationship with your company and product is serving them, they’ll register deals.
What is Deal Registration?
First, what is deal registration and why should you make it part of your channel management process? It is most often used to manage possible channel conflict by having partners or VARs (value added resellers) tells you about a lead and they get ‘first dibs’ on it versus another channel partner. Usually the partner has a set amount of time to close the deal before it opened to other partners again.
Reward Partners for Doing the Things That Positively Affect Your Business
Partners are most interested in closing business and so preferred pricing is great. But don’t stop there. You can look at it as the layers in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The base is, “Protect the partner’s deal and give them preferred pricing.” For that they’ll register.
Then add value, another layer, by encouraging collaboration between vendor and partner. If partners have to wait a day to get the pricing, or they’re not getting the information they need quickly, that puts a deal at risk; We all know time kills all deals.
You can make deal registration an engagement tool by providing what they need in real-time. Also help your partners keep more deals alive by implementing reminders and alerts in your PRM – available in Channeltivity — to keep them on top of their pending deals. Start thinking about the process from the partner’s point of view: What you can do and what systems you can implement to make it easier for them to close.
Information has value: The better you can see what’s in your pipeline, the better you can forecast, the more productive your channel will be.
Remove Friction from the Process
If it’s hard for partners to register deals, you’ve created a big deterrent to people bothering with deal registration. If you’re not getting the throughput you want, the first questions to consider are, “Have we given them good reason to register our deals?” and “How can we make this task of registering deals go more easily for partners?”
Determine the Value of Visibility
Incentives are critical. You need the visibility into the sales pipeline that deal registration delivers. So think about what value you place on that visibility. Without it, you don’t know what your revenues are, and you have no warning on whether you’re going to make or break your quarter.
The information has value: The better you can see what’s in your pipeline, the better you can forecast, the more productive your channel will be. Incentives enable you to buy this valuable visibility from partners. The question is: how will you compensate them?
Create the Right Incentives and Disincentives as Appropriate
In other words, provide the right carrots and minimize the sticks. The faster partners can satisfy your requirements, get in and get out, the more likely they are to bother with it – and to feed you good data. Streamline the process by requiring only the essential info and ensuring your deal registration form is glitch-free.
And don’t forget about the carrots. Create the right incentives and disincentives as appropriate, for example:
• “Your deal is not protected if it’s not registered”
• “Get extra points for registering”
• “Approved deal registration = better discounts”
You won’t find any VARs who like registering deals, but they do recognize the value. You can further reinforce that value for them by making sure the system feeds back their information clearly and accurately.

Chevrolet P30 Series Heater Hose
You enjoy taking care of your P30 Series.
The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. When your Chevrolet P30 Series left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants value in their automobile. You bought your P30 Series because its reliability and value struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? While it's not hard to find replacement parts for Chevrolet vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the highest quality are required to fix your automobile.
Why Heater Hose replacement is so important.
Believe it or not, your car or truck's heating system is closely tied to its engine cooling system. The engine of your Chevrolet P30 Series constantly pumps and turns a mixture of water and ethylene glycol through the engine block in order to absorb the heat it generates, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. Chevrolet P30 Series heater hoses assist the vehicle's primary cooling system by providing another route for the cooling liquid to follow so that it could dissipate heat. The return heater hose re-introduces the coolant to the engine after it has heated the heater core so the radiator can return it to optimum temperature.
You've tried the rest, now try the best.
Get your P30 Series back on the road with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. When your Chevrolet requires the best replacement Heater Hose, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. If your car or truck was built in 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962, 1961, 1960, then you will find the correct Chevrolet P30 Series Heater Hose parts right here.

I initially looked at M& N to support the local economy. When I decided to buy I found the service to be excellent, the mattress good quality and at a good price. I had requested a full sized box spring however I found it made the whole bed too high with the wider mattress, I phoned the store and they came back the "same day" and replaced the box spring with a thinner one and there were no additional charges. Great shop, nice people, good quality products I would highly recommend.
Thank you.

We purchased two twin Natural XL Ironman beds in March with the help and guidance of the great staff at M and N Beds in Parksville. We noticed very soon after that our sleep patterns improved as did freedom from morning back aches. Yes, these beds cost somewhat more than many regular beds and that is because they are unlike many regular beds.
Very importantly is the after sales contact made by this Company to ensure your satisfaction with the beds. I have no hesitation in recommending M and N Beds

Although I have known them quite some time through business, it wasn't until I went to select my Ironman mattress in the store that I found out how truly deep their product and technical knowledge was. Also, the after purchase service was fantastic as well. The delivery was prompt and any questions I may have had were answered concisely.

My wife and I both have chronic pain from arthritis to lower back injuries which make mobility difficult. Before we met the staff at M & N mattress we were unsure as to what was the best option to aid in our chronic pain injuries. They suggested an Ironman bed with adjustable positioning. These beds saved our lives as since we have gotten our new bed we have been more mobile and wake up not in pain because this is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. I am buying one for my parents because they also have similar injuries. This bed will heal you and is the best investment I have ever made hands down!!
Could not be happier with the service and the product! A must see if you want a better healthy life.

I have just moved to Vancouver Island sight unseen from Australia. With chronic back injuries that leave me often incapacitated with migraines and sciatica, I decided to invest in a good bed as well as a new life. I researched mattresses for months and phoned around to find the best deal from a local shop and finally found M&N Mattress Shop. I was impressed with the knowledge not only of the products but also the in depth understanding of my physical issues.This family run business gave me a great bed as well as sincere personal rapport. It is one of the most pleasant customer care experiences I have ever has and served as a nice welcome to me on this new adventure and new chapter in my life. And a great sleep is the bonus!

I had to deal with M & N very recently regarding a mattress that didn't stand up well and they stood right behind me and worked towards me getting a new mattress. Their customer service and after sales service are the best in my experience. I would highly recommend them for their service, pricing and knowledge of product.

I would like to thank everyone at M&N Mattress for making my experience of finding the perfect bed so easy! I love my Ironman bed! I have never slept better. I truly believe it has helped my shoulder injury as I can now sleep on my side again. I have to also mention the ironman pillow. After buying so many different pillows I found this one. It is amazing! After a year it has never changed! I don't think I'll ever need to buy another! I know longer wake up with a headache feeling the need to fix my neck lol.
It was really a great experience as delivery was the same day and they went above and beyond setting up my bed and taking away my old bed without any extra charges. Great customer service is sometimes hard to come by these days. Thank you everyone at M&N Mattress!

The fact that their "IronMan" bed has literally changed my sleeping life is enough to recommend them BUT, the attentive customer service you get at M&N Mattress goes well beyond the norm.

Sleeping on my Ironman mattress has really improved my quality of life. I wake up refreshed and the arthritis and fibromyalgia pain I used to feel is mostly gone. I just wish I could take it with me when I travel. It is so great to come home to it. I recommend it to everyone, just think of how many hours you spend on your bed. Totally worth the money. I found the owners and staff to be friendly and they obviously know their product very well. Just go try it!!!

The M & N Mattress Shop consistently has given us the best customer service! With moving to a new city and having to purchase bedroom sets and mattresses for the whole family, they made things super easy with no stress. We received information on all their products by experienced and friendly staff and they assisted us in picking the best mattress for us. Both of us have spinal issues and along with their assistance we chose the right mattress. It has made a huge difference in the amount of pain we experience throughout the day. If we have any questions, we simply call them and they are always happy to help us. M & N Mattress Shop is DEFINITELY the BEST place on the island to get an expert opinion and the best mattress for a good nights rest!!!

We were new to the Parksville area and in dire need of a new mattress, M & N Mattresses was an amazing pick. After reading a few reviews on Google I thought I would go see what they were about. I was fully educated on the mattress industry within 20 mins of being there and felt much more comfortable about my purchase (normally I shop around, to make sure I get the best bang for my buck). I was extremely impressed with the knowledge that was bestowed upon me and can't wait for my free delivery! I saved a lot of money and am very excited to try our new bed. Thanks a ton guys!

We were in need of a new bed. Suk asked us all the things we like in a mattress. Then he asked us if we had a medical issue that he needed to address. Once we informed him that I suffer from Fibromyalgia he let us try certain mattress' then let us try the one he would pick for me. He was so right!!!! He explained exactly what the mattress was manufactured of and why I was feeling the differences. After 4 nights sleeping on the new mattress I felt SO GOOD. My body is really happy we made this purchase :)
We were NEVER pressured or rushed at all. It was an absolute delight and fun dealing with Suk.
The pillows that we chose turned out to be too soft, true to their word when I returned 3 days later they exchanged them for the next firmer ones. Not hassles at all.
The delivery was right on date. We have NEVER had such efficient, polite and knowledgeable young men deliver to us.
All in all, we would recommend M&N Mattress Shop to our family and friends.

Without a doubt the best customer service I have ever experienced.
The sales staff are knowledgeable professional and personable. I had just arrived in B.C and required a bed asap. My purchase was delivered by their delivery team who were on time and professional.
A week later I had to purchase a metal frame which was delivered and installed for me by one of the sales staff which was so appreciated as my mobility is currently compromised.
Then I needed a smaller box spring as the bed was too high. I called the owner and they made the delivery and exchanged my box spring on the same day as I had called. Amazing service !! I couldn't be more satisfied and I highly recommend M & N Mattress Shop

Personalized service, every customer counts.
Interested in your sleep habits and physical health in order to properly assess your mattress requirements.
Finding the mattress which meets your needs is extremely important. I commend the staff on their knowledge and client driven approach.
Thank you...

I have dealt with M&N furniture for close to fifteen years now and I struggle to find the right words in describing such a helpful and community driven store. Mark and Neelam - and Sukh- have gone above and beyond their roles at the store to assist me and my family in much more than choosing the right mattress. When I was younger Mark offered me a job at a time in need, when I bought my first home Mark was quick to borrow me his truck, and now as I type, I am in possession of the M&N delivery truck as they helped, yet again, in a move to a new home. If you are anywhere from Campbell River to Duncan, and everywhere in between, you owe it to yourself to check out M&N mattress.

We recently purchased a cabinet bed at M & N Mattress. Sukh came to our house to take measurements and help select the finish colour. The delivery was prompt and efficient and we were shown how to set up and store the mattress in the cabinet by the helpful staff. As newcomers to the area we were pleased by the personal service and warm welcome we received.

We purchased an Ironman Bed from Mark and no bed has compared to to. When I travel and sleep on other beds my back usually hurts. When I’m back in my own Ironman I feel refreshed and always have a good sleep. Mark has been wonderful. Thank you M & N Mattress. Definitely 5 star.

Just bought my 2nd mattress in a year from this amazing company. Plus a beautiful new bed frame. We absolutely love our new mattresses both in our RV and in our home. Great products, the service is over and above anything I have experienced, it puts the big box stores to shame. Delivery fast and efficient and everyone so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for such a positive shopping experience.

Great service! After not picking up my paid for mattress for many months, I was worried they would not honour my purchase. That wasn't the case at all! They quickly found my paperwork for my purchase and promptly ordered the mattress for me. Very impressed. M&N I'll be a customer for life. ??

We purchased a dresser from M&N Mattress recently and are extremely happy with it. The quality is great but it is the customer service that really stood out. The purchase was easy and the men that delivered it were exceptional. They made sure we were happy with the product before they left and made it very clear that they were only a phone call away if we noticed any problems. That was such a refreshing change from most that run as soon as they have your money. We will definitely be doing more business with this store.

We recently bought a NEWGEN mattress from M&N Mattress in Parksville BC. The staff were fantastic, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable, even the delivery men were super great. The mattress is the best sleep we have ever had. I recently had shoulder surgery and found that I am not tossing and turning, but actually sleeping through the night. My partner as well has had no back, hip, or shoulder pain. Excellent all the way around. We highly recommend this establishment and the bed... Great job M&N Mattress

Wow, this purchase was one of the final items to arrive in my new home. The service from the sales, to delivery to management was awesome. I work in the service sector and they impressed me. The delivery guys took the time to explain set up and how to use it. It was refreshing to purchase from a company that truly cares! Follow up call was a nice touch. Impressed

The staff were amazing and knowledgeable about the products they sell. I’m very happy with the customer service they have provided me. I purchased a Ironman 3.0 and the mattress was a little to firm for my liking. I’m so glad about their 366 night comfort exchange guarantee. I came in and informed them about my mattress and they exchange my mattress for another one with no hassle. They delivered and picked up my other mattress free of charge. Absolutely blown away with the service they provide. Thank you so so much! I will highly recommend you to everyone who needs a mattress.

These people at M&N are very professional to do business with, I had very good information about purchasing a mattress to suit me. The warranty is excellent, and they make ever effort to please . My mattress I purchase was to firm for me, so after trying it for a few night they replaced it with a softer mattress, no problems to do that, , the young fellows that delivered my mattress were very good, pleasant,and polite, I recommend anyone wanting a new mattress to go see these people, I am a very happy customer. Thanks M&N mattress-Parksville, Vancouver Island.

This is the place to get your new mattress! We received our IronMan Mattress two weeks ago and my partner and I have never slept better. Mark is knowledgable, professional and knew exactly what kind of mattress would work for our needs. The delivery team was great,and we even received a call a few days later asking how we were sleeping. We can't recommend M&N Mattress shop enough. They truly go above and beyond and really care for their customers.

Best mattress ever. We have two. Service is really good. I just acquired a king size pillow from them and so far so good. I'll be back for a couple more pillows. Lol. We have a queen size and a king size mattress. Both are different in their firmness and both are great. Definitely the only mattress we will ever have.

We were originally looking for a “Murphy bed” and discovered M & N Mattress by chance. The bed we purchased folds into a cabinet which looks like a large dresser. It unfolds into a double bed with a high quality foam mattress which competes with our deluxe king size bed for comfort. We were most impressed by the build quality and that these beds are made in Canada. When the bed was delivered, the two gentlemen who set it up went over the procedure for unfolding and returning the mattress to the cabinet. Very professional and courteous. I’d recommend this local business and their products to anyone looking for a space-saving bed.

We recently bought a NewGen mattress and a cabinet bed because we were so impressed with the knowledge of the staff. Our mattress is very comfortable and the cabinet bed looks great in the guest room. (No one has slept on it yet, but I assume it will also be comfortable.) The two men who delivered the mattress and the cabinet bed were polite, informative and efficient. M & N Mattress has outstanding service and that is one of the reasons we decided to deal with them. We have no doubt that if we encounter any problems in the future that they will be dealt with, although we certainly don't anticipate any problems!

I have purchased a few mattresses over the years and M & N is without a doubt, the best place to get assistance and guidance on making that purchase. I would be hard pressed to go anywhere else, as the customer service and product quality is by far the best. They have always exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful experiences both at the shop buying the cabinet bed and when it was delivery. The cabinet bed allows us to have another guest room with usable space when we need it. The staff was helpful and attentive to answering our questions. The delivery people were polite, hardworking, and helpful as well. Highly recommend this Mattress Shop.

The original telephone contact gave me confidence as Sukh explained various concerns a first-time cabinet bed buyer may have. He suggested I visit the local outlet to better prepare before my decision!
The help locally was invaluable...such a team they are despite the miles between their stores. Within 7 hours I had seen the ideal unit for my new home and it is on order to be delivered the day of my move-in.
Seldom in my life have I been given such caring, no-pressure information to assist me with a big purchase. Thank you, M&N Mattress, Parksville, BC.

I purchased a Nex Gen mattress a few weeks ago and couldn’t be more impressed. The staff were so helpful and so informative, taking the time to let me try the range of mattresses. Within nights of sleeping on my new mattress I was able to cut my pain meds in half and now most nights are pain free. I also bought the adjustable base which allows me to get in just the right position to alleviate the pressure on my lower back. Works great for decreasing snoring and reflux too which have been issues, not to mention I’ve never been more comfortable reading in bed. Well worth the money. Only wish I’d purchased it a few years ago.

What great service. I had already mentioned this shop to a friend looking for a new bed. They had what she needed and delivered the next day. She's very happy with the bed and the whole experience. Then I found myself with a broken wheel on my bed frame. The shop went through their parts and found a suitable replacement. No charge. You can't get much better than that. The new wheel fit perfectly. I'll definitely be back when a new bed is needed and will continue to recommend this shop.

Wonderful service from all staff at this local BC business. Delivered and setup right on time. Very courteous and helpful and removed our old mattress. We've had the mattress Ironman "Radiance Series" King-size for a week now, so comfortable one wishes to not get out of bed! Our only regret is that we put up for so long with sleeping on our old mattress and didn't do this sooner! Thanks again.

I purchased a cabinet bed. The quality of the piece is very good. Solid wood and the colour of the stain was what I expected. The mattress that came with it is a bit firm but it's higher quality mattress. Unit is well made, safety features like the latches on the inside add to the quality. It does need to "off gas". Delivered before promised - Excellent delivery service - on time, efficient.

We bought a NewGen split king from M&N. This bed is great! Everyone in the store was friendly and helpful. We received an incredible amount of information on the structure and manufacturing of the mattress. You sure can't beat their warranty AND they're local!
The delivery guys were very efficient and helpful, They made sure we understood the controls before they left, and took the old mattress and frame away. One less thing for me to do!
Keep up the good work!!!

Excellent customer service and excellent mattresses! I have been an M & N customer for just about 2 years now and I have had only positive experiences shopping with them! If you're lucky, you sleep a third of your life... so it might as well be on an amazing mattress that makes for a great sleep! I am a Massage Practitioner and truly believe that getting a good sleep on a good mattress is very important and makes for good days and a happy, healthy life :)

We purchased an IronBed 3 years ago from M&N Mattress Shop ,received great service from knowledgeable staff that helped us understand why their mattress was the right choice for us. After just one night of perfect uninterrupted sleep I was hooked , no morning back stiffness , refreshed and ready for each day . 3 years later my mattress is still in perfect shape , no lumps , no indentations and each night I look forward to another amazing sleep and expect to for another 20 years. If you are considering one of these beds you will not be disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting M&N Mattress Shop and trying out an ironman mattress. The owner, Mark was very helpful. I left the store with a latex pillow. The pillow provides firm support and is the most comfortable pillow i have ever used. The next time I need a new mattress, I know who i will be contacting. Thanks again Mark.

Building Memcached on Windows
I like to be able to compile my software on multiple platforms with
different compilers, because it force me to write that complies to
standards (if not you'll most likely have a spaghetti of #ifdefs all
over your code). One of the bonuses you get from using multiple
compilers is that you'll get "more eyes" looking at your code, and
they may warn you on different things. Supporting multiple platforms
will also make it easier to ensure that you don't have 'hidden bombs'
in your code (byte order, alignment, assumptions that you can
dereference a NIL pointer etc)...
Building software that runs on different flavors of Unix/Linux isn't
that hard, but adding support for Microsoft Windows offers some
challenges. Among the challenges are:
Microsoft Windows doesn't provide the headerfiles found on most Unix-like systems (unistd.h etc).
Sockets is implemented in a separate "subsystem" on windows.
Win32 provides another threads/mutex implementation than what most software written for Unix-like systems use (pthreads).
Microsoft doesn't supply a C99 compiler. One would think that it would be safe to assume that one could use a C standard that is more than 10 years old....
I am really glad to announce that we just pushed a number of
changesets to memcached to allow you to build memcached on windows
"just as easy" as you would on your favorite Unix/Linux system. This
means that as of today users using Microsoft Windows is no longer
stuck with an ancient version!
`The first thing you need to do in order to build memcached on Windows
is to install the "fullversion"
of msysgit. In
addition to installing git, it also installs a compiler capable of
building a 32 bit version of memcached.
So let's go ahead and build the dependencies we need to get our 32bit
memcached version up and running!
The first thing up
is libevent. You
should download the latest 2.x release available (there is a bug in
all versions up to (and including) 2.0.4, so unless there is a new one
out there you can grab a development version I pushed
to libevent-2.0.4-alpha-dev.tar.gz),
and install it with the following commands (from within your
msysgit-shell). Please note that I'm using /tmp because I've had
problems using my "home directory" because of spaces in the directory
name (or at least I guess that's the reason ;-) ):
$ cd /tmp
$ tar xfz libevent-2.0.4-alpha-dev.tar.gz
$ cd libevent-2.0.4-alpha-dev
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make all (this will fail with an error, but don't care about that.. it's is in the example code)
$ make install (this will fail with an error, but don't care about that.. it's just an example)
It's time to start build memcached!!! Let's check out the source
code and build it!
Go ahead and telnet to port 11211 and issue the "stats" command to
verify that it works!
You don't need to install msysgit on the systems where you want to
run memcached, but you do need to include pthreadGC2.dll from the
msysgit distribution. That means that if you want to run memcached
on another machine you need to copy the following files:
memcached.exe .libs/default_engine.so and /mingw/bin/pthreadGC2.dll
(Just place them in the same directory on the machine you want to
run memcached on :-)
But wait, the world is 64 bit by now. Lets build a 64 bit binary instead
So how does it perform?
I'm pretty sure a lot of the "Linux fanboys" are ready to jump in and
tell how much faster the Linux version is. I have to admit that I was
a bit skeptical in the beginning if the layers we added to get "Unix
compatibility" had any performance impact. The only way to know for
sure is to run a benchmark to measure the performance.
I ran a small benchmark where I had my client create 512 connections
to the server, and then randomly choosing a connection and perform a
get or a set operation on one of the 100 000 items I had stored in
the server. I ran 500 000 operation (33% of the operations are set
operations), and calculated the average time. I can dual-boot one of
my machines into Windows 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so my
results shows the "out of the box"-numbers between Windows 7 and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux running on the same hardware. I used my
OpenSolaris box to drive the test (connected to the same
switch). Posting numbers is always "dangerous", because people put
too much into the absolute numbers. The intention with my graphs is
to show that the version running on Microsoft Windows is pretty much
"on par" with the Linux version.
Buuuuut..... the version from trondn/memcached.git is 1.3.3 and the last official version is 1.4.5 (http://www.memcached.org)....Using totalcommander I notice several differences between versions.And if I try to use the official repository instead of trondn's repository, the code wont compile.Also, the result exe wont work as a windows service or as a deamon either. This port does the trick but uses version 1.2.1 (Dec 23, 2006)...
Never the less, the version 1.3.3 seems to work ok. Here is the compiled result from my Intel x86:http://fox.originsoftware.com.ar/memcached-1.3.3.zip
IANAL, but AFAIK the BSD license allows you to mix in other licenses, and the LGPL library allows you to link with other licenses.. You do however need to comply to the terms of both the licenses, so if you make modifications to the lgpl bits you need to make the source available to the people you give the binary... People should just stay away from *GPL and the world would be a better place...
when I use this command: make -f win32/Makefile.mingw ,something wrong. make win32/Makefile.mingw: No such file or directory make *** No rules to make target win32/Makefile.mingw . stop.I install msysgit in C:\msysgit\msysgit. The Tmp path is F:\tmp.
please help to deal with it, tks.by the way , I am a chinese ,so my English is not well.
Hello.Sorry my bad English.Trond Norbye, I try to build memcached from MB-6508 branch on msysgit 1.7.11 and I got errorhttp://pastebin.com/fCuzE80vWhat is the dependency tcmalloc_minimal.dll and where I can get this dll?
I am trying to build memcached now and get some problems linking to libevent.
I get your git version of Memcached and use the win32/Makefile.mingw replacing some of the -lxxx with -Lpathtolibrary as teh whole path on my env is quite a mess.
I downloaded the latest libevent code too and build it using nmake, which produced a bunch of .lib files. I copied the libevent.lib file and use it for the linking with -L on the memcached.exe recipe and copied the header files to the mingw include folder so they are found.
Sadly when I try to build I get a lot of "undefined reference to event_*".
I think the problem is that I am linking wrongly but I am not sure as I am not familiar with gcc and c any more, Im a .Net guy this days.
If you can bring some light you will be more than appreciated. I found the following thread (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/memcached/P4qMK4upyMk) where you answer some questions but the original problem wasn't hte same as mine.
Sure, when I'm done.. I'm currently working on making the compilation process of Couchbase better on windows. (please note that you may run Couchbase on Windows, and it does support memcached buckets...)

There is little room for perspective in the immediate aftermath of a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers in the home opener at Petco Park.
The Padres on Tuesday were patient, they were aggressive. They were resilient. They were clutch.
“Everything we didn’t do on the road trip, we did today” Venable said. “… Not having a game like that and then to have one just gives you confidence that everything you believed is true.”
Hmmmmm. Don’t know about that quite yet.
We’ll keep the champagne on ice for when a Padres starting pitcher gets out of the sixth inning.
But now we know it’s possible.
Maybe, just maybe, Yonder Alonso’s admonishment before the game was spot on.
“Just 1-5, man,” a super chill Alonso said as he lounged in the chair in front of his locker. “You guys are definitely going crazy on it. It’s 162 games. It’s a long season. We can get on a roll. Then the wins can come in bunches.”
Related
Every one of the 30 teams in Major League Baseball had at least one stretch in 2012 in which they lost five of six games.
"Half of us are hitting .150,” Venable, sounding a bit irritated, said before going out and tying a career high with four RBI. “If someone thinks that is an example of how the season is going to go, they probably haven’t watched a whole lot of baseball.”
Yes, we can be absolutely certain that even Everth Cabrera is going to top .200 by September.
It’s just when a team loses five of its first six, the stretch is magnified.
Especially when it’s the Padres, who make a habit of being the turtle that falls too far behind.
It’s going to take quite the next 19 games to avoid their third straight losing April and seventh April in the past eight years without a winning record. They haven’t been to the postseason in the past six years.
Even Alonso, the cool cucumber, acknowledged that might not be a coincidence in a roundabout way.
“You can’t win a division in the first month,” Alonso said. “But you can definitely stay afloat.”
Or you can be sunk.
The Padres talked extensively in March about making sure they started quickly. Their desire was to be playing meaningful games in August but also, certainly, to not be irrelevant by the end of May as they were with a 17-35 record to that point in 2012.
A team that had one home run in six road games to start the season -- none in three games in Colorado -- took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Venable’s liner and a 3-2 lead on Hundley’s high fly in the third.
Their other five runs were the result of actual hits with runners in scoring position.
A team that was 9-for-54 (.167) with runners in scoring position the first six games was five-for-11 on Tuesday against their loaded rivals.
“It’s great to be home,” Hundley said after the Padres raised their team batting average to .224 from the .204 it was after their 1-5 trek to New York and back via Colorado. “To break through is great.”
Now, being no hypocrite, Hundley did offer some perspective to ruin the Opening Day high.
“You take it that it’s April 9,” he said. “You don’t put too much stock in it.”

Analysis: China toughens trade stance with tariffs
By IBT Staff Reporter12/15/11 AT 8:40 AM
China has fired a warning shot with its decision to impose tariffs on imports of sport-utility vehicles (SUV) and other large cars from the United States as both countries gear up for increased trade friction next year.
The tariffs, announced on Wednesday and ranging from 2 percent to 22 percent, are unlikely to inflict much pain on American carmakers, who generally only import a small fraction of what they sell in China.
But by hitting a powerful industry that has benefited from a U.S. government bailout, China can signal a tough stance in the face of rising pressure over its trade practices while at the same time pressuring American companies into lobbying on its behalf.
It's a threat to companies, to say that you'd better lobby your government not to impose more tariffs because that could lead to a trade war and that's going to hurt you here, said Usha Haley, professor of international business at Massey University in New Zealand, who studies the Chinese auto sector.
It's an extremely effective way of working.
China's move comes as the United States -- increasingly frustrated with a mammoth trade deficit and what it calls unfair treatment of U.S. companies in China -- changes its own tactics.
Instead of focusing on dumping of cheap Chinese-made goods, it is building a case that China's support for state-owned firms -- from discounted land and electricity prices to loans that can be perpetually rolled -- violates World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
Arguing that China isn't playing fair will appeal to U.S. politicians in an election year when jobs are a sore point.
A WTO appeals panel overturned the first American attempt to apply anti-subsidy measures against Chinese steel, sacks and tires, but left the door open for a more nuanced case that China subsidizes its state-owned sector.
The U.S. is getting ready to be a lot tougher on China on trade. They are doing a top-to-bottom review in Washington, said James McGregor, senior consultant for APCO Worldwide in Beijing.
It's going to get at the whole state-owned sector and at subsidies that are hard to quantify.
At a news conference on Thursday, a Ministry of Commerce spokesman declined to explain why China had chosen to target car imports.
HIGHER GEAR
China's complaints about American car imports aren't new.
It launched its investigation shortly before U.S. President Barack Obama visited in November 2009, in apparent retaliation for U.S. duties on Chinese-made steel pipes used in the oil and gas industry.
At the time, the Ministry of Commerce said it was investigating incentives and tax breaks granted by the U.S. federal government and the state of Michigan, home to the U.S. auto industry.
Wednesday's announcement came amid Chinese anger over a U.S. investigation into whether China unfairly subsidizes its solar panel makers. But China's previous experience with trade disputes have taught its officials the lesson that American firms can be allies in opening American markets.
In recent years, the U.S. poultry industry lobbied actively against a Congressional ban on negotiating with China to import Chinese cooked chicken -- imposed after Chinese food safety scandals -- because they feared losing the lucrative Chinese market for chicken feet.
China's choice of targets is limited by its reluctance to alienate Chinese consumers with higher prices for imported foodstuffs or raw materials.
The value of soy and oilseeds imports from America so far this year is triple that of cars, at about $12 billion. Making imported cotton, chemicals or grains more expensive would also only contribute to inflation in China.
Liu Hongyan, shopping at a Beijing Cadillac dealership on a clear and windy Thursday, shrugged off the possibility that customers like him might have to pay more for cars.
I think it doesn't really affect people of our class and status who buy these types of cars, because the tariff rate only takes up a small percentage of the cost, he told Reuters.
If you like the car it doesn't matter.
The automakers themselves are more vulnerable, although their problem isn't the direct impact on imports, which only make up 9 percent of auto sales in China.
Chrysler is a bit vulnerable as it's been counting mostly on imported models to drive its China sales, but the impact on GM and others is very limited as imports accounts a small portion of the tally, said Sheng Ye, associate research director for the Greater China region at industry consultancy Ipsos.
Instead, their Achilles heel is their business in China -- the world's biggest market for cars, and one of the only growth areas of scale.
With regulators already delaying permission to expand production unless automakers agree to transfer branding rights and technology, none of the big automakers will relish being left out in the cold.

The heroes are journeying through some dangerous area—nearly always a dark and mysterious forest. A wizard or other such guide has sent them on their way with one piece of advice: Stay on the Path. Straying from the path will lead to "something" bad.
If the heroes leave the path because they were told not to leave it, it's also a case of Forbidden Fruit.
Examples
open/close all folders
Comic Books
One JMS' Spider-Man story involves Doctor Strange sending Peter to the Astral Plane to fight a villain, with a warning not to leave the designated path. He strays off after seeing some random giant spider-shaped thingie, and accidentally unleashes a spider-eating Wasp spirit named Shathra who makes his life miserable for a while afterward.
Cluracan comes to visit his sister Nuala in Dream's castle, and out of curiosity, disregards the doorkeeper's warning to stay on the path. As a result, he ends up creating his own nemesis.
On another occasion:
"I have spoken to the lord of this realm. He has given you permission to enter the castle, and will grant you audience. I am honour-bound to warn you to stay on the path through the castle. Straying from the path could mean your destruction. You killed my friend, woman. Stray from your path."
In the original The Books of Magic, Tim Hunter and Doctor Occult take a trip into Fairyland. Occult gives the warning; Tim actually stays on the path fairly well, until Baba Yaga uses an illusion of the Doctor to convince him to step off it...and then tries to eat him.
The hero of An American Werewolf in London and his wing-man are given the warning "Stay on the road, and beware of the moon!" They ignore the first, and don't understand the second. As a result, one of them dies, and the other becomes a werewolf.
The Golden Child: Before undergoing a test, Eddie Murphy's character is warned to (among other things) "Stay on the path". During the test, the path he's on suddenly explodes, and he angrily demands to know what's going on. A voice tells him that he has to know when to break the rules (an important clue for completing the Secret Test of Character).
Psycho: Marion discovers that she has missed her exit while driving in the dark and the rain, and gotten off the main road onto the old road. This was in 1960, when the highway system was new, and she made a very common mistake people made then, which would have made the audience nod in recognition. She stops at the Bates Motel to ask directions, and decides to stay the night before trying to find her way back in the dark. After being spooked by an essentially harmless, but seemingly menacing, policeman when she tried sleeping in her car the night before. She feels sorry for Norman, who is lonely, hasn't rented a room in a long time, and seems so harmless.
Rowan of Rin: they were in a swamp that through some means conjured up images of loved ones drowning just off the path. If you rush off to save them....
The Hobbit has Gandalf give this advice. Inverted in The Lord of the Rings when Gandalf tells Frodo and Sam to stay off the roads and meet up with the Nazgūl as a result of Merry and Pippin not following the rule.
Stardust: Neil Gaiman is a fan of this trope, as seen in the Comic Books folder. Anyone who strays from the path through the Serewood will fall victim to murderous plants.
David from The Book of Lost Things is warned to stay off the road; when he strays to pick an apple, he is captured by a hunter.
In Dream Park, visitors at the Chamber of Horrors attraction are warned to stay on the green glowing path, as they pass through a holographic diorama of underwater terrors. One woman steps off the path anyway, and is instantly snatched away and torn to pieces by a shark and an aquatic zombie! Lucky for Dream Park's liability insurance, she turns out to be a hologram too.
One of the main themes in the first book of the The Edge Chronicles, mainly because it's set in the Deepwoods, where Everything Is Trying to Kill You. This mentality even extends to children's sports in the woodtroll villages - when protagonist Twig "strays from the path" during a game, he's beaten up by the other kids even though there's technically no rule against it. No-one strays from the path.
In the Dragaera universe, if you're in the world of the dead and you leave the path, you'll never be able to find it again, wandering for all eternity even if you're very much alive.
Xanth features "magic paths" which are designated safe travelling points. Said paths are sometimes one-way such that if you step off of it it disappears. The trope is played with half the time where the protagonists lose the path, find the path is no longer safe, or leave the path. The other half of the time, it's used as a convenient shorthand for "nothing exciting happened between here and there because they were walking on the enchanted path".
In one of Jack Vance's Dying Earth novellas, a traveler's father gives him a charm, which will protect him so long as he remains on the road.
When traveling the Nevernever in The Dresden Files, wizards usually stick to the safer Ways, lest they wander off into an area that is horrifyingly dangerous. In the Nevernever, quite literally anything can happen.
When Ivanova is hooked into the Great Machine ("Voices of Authority"), she is advised by Draal to "stay on the path" when the Eye of Z'ha'dum somehow detects her probing and almost succeeds in mentally compelling her to go towards it. The "path" was a mental visualization given by the machine as a guide away from this Eye.
When traveling in hyperspace, it is important to follow the hyperspace beacons, and stay in range of their signals, so as not to become permanently lost in hyperspace—something that almost happens to an explorer ship in the episode "A Distant Star".
The Invaders: The old TV series began like this, as the protagonist took a wrong turn somewhere and accidentally discovered the alien invasion going on...
Tabletop Games
Changeling: The Lost makes it very clear that wandering off the path in The Hedge can be a very, very bad thing. Not only do the Thorns that make up most of the Hedge drink a Changeling's power (or a human's soul), but hobgoblins lurk in some of the deeper parts. The Gentry occasionally take their strolls through it as well.
Changeling The Dreaming, has elements of this, despite being Lighter and Softer. Wandering off the Silver Path while wandering the Dreaming is a very good way to get lost in some of the deeper delusions of the collective unconsciousness.
Module I5 Lost Tomb of Martek. Before entering the Crystal Prism the PCs read runes that say "Walk that path straight and narrow". If they don't do so, the Iron Phoenix's powerful attacks will probably destroy them.
Module I12 Egg of the Phoenix. In one section of the adventure the PCs are told "If a path is given, do not stray from it". They really need to follow this advice. If they don't, not only will they not be able to complete the mission and possibly get lost 200 million years in the past, but if they stray off the Platinum Path in the Black Forest they'll end up getting massively energy drained and almost certainly die.
A meta-example. Video games are built on budgets, no matter what, so a smart dev team will cheat where they can. One cheat is to highlight a path that they intend for the player to follow. The highlights don't have to be obvious - just lights, warm colors, convenient approaches to an objective, the infamous chest-high walls, and so on. It allows the player the illusion of freedom when they really can't get too far from the game's set pieces. The devs can then devote less time to things "off the path." The cost of leaving the path? Wasting time, ruining your immersion by taking nonsensical actions just to "see if the world is real," being exposed to the second-rate textures, sky boxes, and objects which are pure filler, losing your immersion and time by blundering into the Insurmountable Waist High Fence, expending more resources fighting pointless enemies, and worst of all - finding nothing of interest and growing bored.
Valve's Developer Commentary in Left 4 Dead pointed out a few ways they used this trope, for those who are interested. Everything from car headlights to color schemes are chosen so players can intuit their way through the level. This is important because a little exploration can be very helpful, but a lot of it guarantees more enemies will spawn and possibly overwhelm the players.
No shortage of games invert this trope, rewarding the player for when they do NOT Stay on the Path, or zig-zag it, cluing the player in subtly when it might be a good idea to stray from the path.
Justified in Alan Wake. The enemies are immune to attacks if not exposed to brilliant light first, and they are powerless in bright light. Gameplay consists of a run and gun from light to light. When things go south, following the path from light to light is the best way to progress.
As alluded to in the trope description, you have to stay on the path in order to progress through The Lost Woods in many games.
Racing games with open areas will often respawn you should you leave the area, for obvious reasons.
This is the idea of the game The Path: The player must stray the girl from the path and meet their wolf in order to succeed in the girl's route in the story, rather than following the game's instructions to stay on the path. Following the path gets you a failure screen.
The Haunted Wasteland forces you to follow the flags; going off-route will cause you to be swallowed by the desert winds (and teleported back to a checkpoint). A similar puzzle occurs near Pinnacle Rock in the western ocean of Majora's Mask.
Zelda II The Adventure Of Link: Staying on roads neutralizes enemy encounters. While you're on it, no encounters pop up, and if you spawn some then move back onto the path, the "battle" is a barren plain devoid of enemies you can just walk out of. Naturally, there are many places you can't get to by staying on the path. Early in the game, you'll want these encounters (free Experience Points) but as the game begins to go from Nintendo Hard to "Miyamoto, you sadist!" they become great ways to die horribly (and naturally, at this point, much harder to avoid.)
World of Warcraft: One of the loading screen tips is that players are much less likely to encounter monsters when following a path. Generally true, but there are also some regions where particularly deadly enemies follow the roads, and some roads lead directly to dungeons or the cities of the opposite faction. Pre-expanion Rexxar followed a very long path through Durotar and Feralas, and was death to any Alliance character who didn't see him coming in time.
In Neverwinter Nights, a village has been suspended out of time by Lathander. When you get to the castle you have 3 paths to choose from. If you stay on the correct path, then you get a note from Lathander complementing you on your choice of the middle balanced way. In the others you get attacked by deamon or devils and appropriately chastied by Lathander.
In Black Sigil, you must cross a desert. You are told to follow the path (marked by specific plants), else you will encounter Sand Worms, which are rather tough for you at that point. Straying from the path also means interesting items.
In Fallout: New Vegas, low-level characters can do quite a bit of exploring in relative safety if they stick to the crumbling roads (as long as they heed any "KEEP OUT" signs they come across). Wander just a little way off the path and the restored-to-their-former-magnificence Deathclaws and their adorable new sidekicks, the Cazadores, await you.
In Final Fantasy V, a moogle shows you the way to the moogle village. He walks into a patch of desert, shakes his head "no", and avoids the desert all the rest of the way. When you take control, walking on the path will result in no Random Encounters, while the encounters in the desert are, at least for your likely current level, likely to spawn a Boss In Mooks Clothing.
After entering a dark cellar in Amnesia: The Dark Descent Daniel has a flashback to the first time he went through the area. He questions why it's kept so dark, but Alexander insists that he not stray from the lighted path. Since the only monsters in the castle at the time were the ones under Alexander's control, it's not clear what he thought would happen if Daniel didn't follow him.
At the beginning of Afraid Of Monsters, David is told to "follow the red." What follows is a trip through a surreal nightmare realm, which changes from pitch black walls and floors to insane, tilted rooms. Colored dots lead your way, and if you don't follow the red, you'll end up at the bottom of the pit.
In Finding Nemo the School of fish that gives Dory and Marlin directions to Sydney warns the pair to go THROUGH a particular undersea Canyon, rather than over it. Dory characteristically forgets this warning, leading to a near fatal incident with the jellyfish school.
Zig-zagged in a Monkey Dust skit where Geoff goes to a public Cottager outing somewhere in the murky, dark English countryside. In a nearby pub, a grizzled, toothless old man warns him not to stray too far off the path. Geoff asks him why.

Nothing earth shattering, but to keep my Mt McKinley company. Got this last Saturday at a yard sale... $5.00
I added the Rock Shox fork & 26" front wheel to create a early Beast of the East look. Haven't ridden yet to see how it preforms. I'm planning that tomorrow. I've kept the original fork & wheel just in case it doesn't work out.
Well, I've been waiting patiently over a year for a nice lugged steel MTB frame in my size to appear for $20 at a yard sale, or on craigslist...but no such luck!
So, when this '91 Trek 800 - the bottom of the barrel - popped up on CL for $10, I figured it would make a great winter beater. I'm also very uptight about riding anything of value on the local trails (Allamuchy, NJ...nothing but rocks, roots and mud pits). But now I can finally ride them with abandon!
I spent a total of $80 on the build, including a new seatpost, crankset, tires, brake pads and used Deore DX thumb shifters. I traded a frame for the wheelset: Araya RM-20 rims laced to Deore DX hubs (they ride very nicely indeed!) The rest was cobbled together from parts I had in the bin: Deore XT FD, Alivio cantis, stem, bars and levers from another 90s Trek, Exage 300 LX RD. The only original parts are the headset and seatpost binder.
Despite the high tensile fork and stays, and the plain gauge CrMo tubes, I don't think the ride is heavy, sluggish or sloppy. But then, I've mountain biked so little, what the hell would I know?
Saved this one from a guy who was using it as his beater bike to get back and forth to work....
Was my dream bike BITD. I remember asking the guy at the LBS if I could touch it and when I picked it up I fell in love.
Fast forward 18 years or so, I finally own one, granted this one's got a lot of dings, cut bars, wrong rear wheel, cracked seat post and a tiny crack at the hole in the seat post tube, but I couldn't be happier....putting it back in shape will be a pleasure.

Can't wait to hit the single track with it.
One of my dream bikes as well. A friend tried to sell his in the middle '90's and I didn't buy it. Dang. I'm still waiting for another to fall out of the sky.
These pictures make me sad. I had a 1992 Schwinn Sidewinder, dark blue. I loved it, it was my first "nice" bike. For some reason it did not make it to my parents' new house during a move. My girlfriend's got a Nishiki Bravo from about the same time period.
This is my '89 3.0 that rides beautifully, but I'm trying to find a replacement fork for it (I'm wondering if I could clamp it in a vice and bend the shaft about 1-1.5" ??)....I still have the original bars which put one in a fairly aggressive position, so I replaced them with the one's pictured for my city commute
NO! I wouldn't even ride it as is. Replace it, 1" forks are cheap and abundant.
Pinguwin
I disagree. The fork doesn't look catastrophically bent, and any LBS should have a fork bender that'll have it looking and riding like new in no time. It shouldn't affect the integrity of the fork, either.

That's what I was thinking. The steel forks Cannondale used were pretty high quality and I dont think it would be a biggie... But then, I've never had a bent fork before either
no cracks, though! geez...no cracks...cracks in your fork are, unh, bad...really, really, bad. If you do get it bent back, check it really well, and check it after the first time you pound it...stress may make 'em show up later.

there's a red die that you can use to check for cracks isn't there? i recall seeing a machinist use it the last place i worked.
I guess there are differences in opinion but for myself, I'm very cautious about something on the front end like that. I know that you probably could ride it but for something that can be replaced quite cheaply, why bother? My long time mechanic always replaced such forks and like I said, I'm very cautious like that. I fly hang gliders and there is a saying, "If there is any doubt, there is no doubt." YMMV.
here's my mb-2. i got it for 50 bucks and put 125 in it, including the brooks which i'm going to swap out for a black one. it's a great ride and a little different for me as i'm usually on road bikes or vintage three-speeds. it's a bit small as you can tell from the saddle height, but hey, fifty bucks for a mb-2.

Nevsky Prospect - St. Petersburg4090 viewsTo cross the street in either direction on Nevsky Prospect -- one of the main streets in St. Petersburg -- you need to go into this pedestrian underpass. When we did so, on a bright spring afternoon (our wedding anniversary), my camera was stolen. I'd just entered the underpass, and as my eyes adjusted to the gloom someone bumped into me quite hard, and I knew my camera was gone when my left shoulder suddenly didn't feel the weight. But there was a crowd, and no obvious villan.

According to a WakeMed spokeswoman, a Raleigh fire commander who suffered critical personal injuries in a December 4 crash involving a Wake County school bus died of those injuries on December 11.
Veteran firefighter Harry P. Kissinger at WakeMed after suffering head trauma in an accident on Ligon Mill Road in North Raleigh.
According to Sgt. J.E. Brewer, a spokesman for the North Carolina Highway Patrol, charges that were expected to be filed against the driver of the school bus, Garner resident Sheila Hall, will now be reviewed by the Wake County District Attorney’s Office.
City authorities say Kissinger, a married father of two young daughters, joined the fire department on October 27, 1997 and was assigned to Fire Station Six on Fairview Road.
The Highway Patrol said that the fatal wreck occurred shortly before 6:30 a.m.
According to an accident reconstruction team, the bus, driven by Hall, crossed the center line and clipped a Ford Taurus before colliding head-on with the Dodge pickup truck Kissinger was driving.
City officials say Kissinger was returning home from work at the time of the crash.
Kissinger was pinned inside his truck for nearly 45 minutes as his fellow firefighters cut the top off the vehicle off in order to extract him.

Noun: Bold or insolent heedlessness of restraints, as of those imposed by prudence, propriety, or convention.
As I explain below, the Administration's principal justification for its stark violation of FISA is the claim that Congress authorized the surveillance in question -- the circumvention of FISA's finely wrought scheme -- when, on September 18, 2004, it enacted the AUMF authorizing the President to take "necessary and appropriate force" against those reponsible for the 9/11 attacks. I suggested that this didn't pass the laugh test -- that it is simply inconceviable that any member of Congress, let alone a majority, intended by voting for the AUMF to allow circumvention of the FISA-court approval mechanism as to the wiretapping of communications involving U.S. persons. (If the AUMF had authorized such interceptions, why did the Administration seek and receive amendments to FISA in the PATRIOT Act? Why, in 2003, did the Justice Department draft further amendments to FISA -- including to section 1802 in particular -- without mentioned the surgery that had been performed by the AUMF, and why in that draft is the "U.S. person" limitation accurately described as if it had not been amended?)
But the Attorney General's press conference today makes it clear that that's their story, and they're sticking to it. The odd thing, of course, is that the Administration specifically went to Congress with a package of statutory authorities -- many related to wiretaps and surveillance -- that it thought were necessary to fight the battle against Al Qaeda. It was called the PATRIOT Act. Therefore, it's understandable that two reporters at today's conference asked the AG why they didn't simply ask Congress for a simple amendment to FISA, if this eavesdropping authority was as critical as the Administration now claims.
First, Gonzales is asked why, if this authority is so important, they didn't just "address that issue and fix it," i.e., through statutory amendment, rather than taking the "backdoor approach" [of pretending that it had already been authorized]. Here's his response:
"This is not a backdoor approach. We believe Congress has authorized this kind of surveillance. We have had discussions with Congress in the past -- certain members of Congress -- as to whether or not FISA could be amended to allow us to adequately deal with this kind of threat, and we were advised that that would be difficult, if not impossible."
Did you catch that? It's a two-part answer: (1) Congress has authorized the circumvention of FISA (in the AUMF); and (ii) We didn't ask Congress for an amendment to FISA because we were informed they would have denied it.
And then there's this exchange, in which the answers are inverted (1. We couldn't have gotten congressional authorization; 2. In any event, we got congressional authorization):
Q If FISA didn't work, why didn't you seek a new statute that allowed something like this legally?
ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES: That question was asked earlier. We've had discussions with members of Congress, certain members of Congress, about whether or not we could get an amendment to FISA, and we were advised that that was not likely to be -- that was not something we could likely get, certainly not without jeopardizing the existence of the program, and therefore, killing the program. And that -- and so a decision was made that because we felt that the authorities were there, that we should continue moving forward with this program.
The interesting question now, of course, is whether Congress will permit itself to be treated with such contempt.
I agree that the Administration's arguments here are pretty weak, though not novel (the inherent powers argument has found support, bafflingly to my mind, for quite some time).
But I find it funny that people who don't mind finding all kinds of liberal goodies in the Constitution, which never did and never would get there by any Democratic process, think those are worth fighting tooth and nail for. On the other hand, when John Yoo finds what Lincoln found there, he's "lawless."
Actually, he is, as was Lincoln's suspension of the writ, as was Roe, as was Roper. I'm against ALL the lawlessness. Who knows, maybe Bush's playfulness with written laws will make textualists of all the purposivists out there...there is, after all, a reason to write things down and to insist that words have meanings that can be understood: the rule of law.
The AUMF argument only makes sense in relation to the (far stronger) Article II claim. We need to take a step back and think here: does the administration have the right to intercept messages from an organization we have declared war on to residents of the US without judicial oversite? If we were talking about Goebbels sending letters to German immigrants i imagine it would pass the laugh test. Its the wiretapping that is freaking us out. If it was a letter or morse code or smoke signals no-one would think twice about the governments ability to intercept it when its transmitted from an overseas combatant.
Actually, Mark, your points are fair as to the substance of things. But law is not just about results. I'm not so bothered by wiretaps--I think the internet and Visa have pretty much eliminated privacy, a right we tend to fetishize in modernity anyway. So I might be perfectly comfortable with giving this power to the executive.
What I am not comfortable with is the prospect of a lawless executive claiming to be the sole interpreter of its own unwritten inherent powers. This surveillance program, if it is necessary for our security, could be accomplished legislatively, and I would not be bothered.
The best discussion of Lincoln's constitutional thought I've seen is "Lincoln's Constitution," by Daniel Farber. My impression from that book is that Lincoln was a good deal more respectful of constitutional and Congressional authority than Bush/Gonzales are. Far from overriding settled law when it was inconvenient, Lincoln acknowledged that ultimately Congressional authority was required for constitutionally controversial emergency actions.
My other impression is that the Civil War was a far more existential threat to the United States than the current perma-yellow-alert emergency is.
As to Goebbels and German immigrants: if there had been settled law against wiretaps of this sort, that should have been serious back then too. I seem to recall other actions against Americans of foreign extraction back then that most Americans are ashamed of today.
"What I am not comfortable with is the prospect of a lawless executive claiming to be the sole interpreter of its own unwritten inherent powers."
If that were truly the case he would hardly be briefing Congressional leaders. Assumedly there was aquessance in their silence.
This is where the AUMF has an impact. We arent talking simply about a president eavesdropping on offshore groups he personally deems dangerous to the US (although he certainly has that discretion if they arent communicating with anyone on US soil). Gonzalez rightly (if ineptly) points out that this organization is a specific enemy, specifically declared an enemy by Congress. I pointed to this example on VC: if during a 'conventional' war, an enemy submarine was comminicating with a commando team already on US soil, would the administration require a warrant intercept? Or would that not clearly fall under his Article II purview? So obviously there is a line here, the question becomes where is it drawn? In in that context the AUMF is certainly germaine.
Briefings aren't acquiescence. Say I bind and gag you and then 'brief' you that I'm about to rob your house. Later I tell the court "he didn't object." I guess you'd be pulling your chin saying "hmm, guy's got a point."
I think opposition party congressmen and women can't just run around blabbing about whatever they hear at an intelligence briefing. All they can do -- the few who even hear about the program, that is -- is object directly to the administration. Jay Rockefeller wrote a letter to Cheney doing just that, expressing strong reservations that were anything but acquiescence.

But of course, the FISA already provides for this exigency. There is no need to make an end-run around the statute. The administration can wiretap such communications immediately, subject to obtaining a warrant from the FISC within 72 hours.
Briefings aren't acquiescence. Say I bind and gag you and then 'brief' you that I'm about to rob your house. Later I tell the court "he didn't object." I guess you'd be pulling your chin saying "hmm, guy's got a point."
The representatives were far from bound and gagged. They definitely had other means of investigation and oversite by means of the Intelligence committees. Those venues are already within a classified realm and can discuss such issues. If they then deemed the presidents activities as illegal, they then could tell him so and take further action as neccessary. Which include court actions if deemed appropriate.
Rockefeller's single letter is far from performing his due diligence in this. He most certainly could have brought this up in committee and forced the issue if he chose to.
And note, other Senators, of both parties, made similar statements and still did nothing. They all should be given a portion of the blame for failure to do anything beyond the most meager of protests.
They definitely had other means of investigation and oversite by means of the Intelligence committees.
Yeah, right. Bush has said it was "shameful" to reveal the existence of this unapproved, illegal program. The Senate and the House are both run by party-line partisans who have to shamed (and what an iffy proposition that was) into keeping their own promise to follow up on the pre-war politicization of intelligence. Oops, make that 'promising to keep their own promise.'
You know that you'd be supporting Bush and the Republicans to the hilt if Rockefeller had come out saying anything he was sworn not to.
There wasn't oversight, there was the arm-twisted appearance of oversight. And you know it.
Secondly, there are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.
Good point, whig. Pres. Bush also made the same claim last fall during one of the presidential debates. He claimed, in response to a question during the "undecided voters" debate, that all wiretaps required a warrant, knowing as he said so that he had repeatedly authorized warrantless wiretaps. That's called lying.
I certainly have a problem with the president having carte blanche authority to surveil American's in search of foreign intelligence, but it seems that there is in fact some legal basis this view.
It seems that there are actually quite a few federal cases that say that the President has the "inherent authority" to wiretap without a warrant in order to gain foreign intelligence. In particular, there seems to be a 2002 case, In Re Sealed Case 310 F.3d 717, which explicitly states this. I this case, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review determined that the President had “inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information,” and that so long as the only real use of a FISA warrant is to be later able to use that information in a criminal prosecution. This authority apparently comes from the President’s role as Commander-in-Chief. and therefore Congress had no power to restrict this authority through FISA or any other means short of proposing a Constitutional Amendment.
I am more than willing to have someone tell me that I am wrong here, in fact, I wish someone would, but it seems to me that this was within the law.

drop rate for this and the legs in baradin hold is pretty low. personally i saved vp for the chest first, and have been waiting for these or the legs to drop. the low drop rate means you might be better off farming vp weekly to get them rather than relying on rng to acquire these.

It astounds me, without exception to see how goats can climb. They are fearless climbers. They love steep and dangerous slopes. They lurch way out on a high flimsy tree limb or a narrow mountain ledge. I know that a fear of heights is a goat’s best defense against predators since a predator wouldn’t dare venture out onto that ledge to catch one measly little goat. At our farm, we don’t have any bold ramps, cliffs or toys for the goats to scale, although we do have a low stand outside in the sun and a steep staircase just inside the barn door where they like to slumber.
I am not brave but I am working on it. My brother, Mike, the pilot, would often take me flying with him. While we wait for take off, we have a custom we would observe. I would look out of the side window at the ground and utter, “Look at those people down there, they look just like ants!” Mike would smile generously and respond, “They are ants - we haven’t left the ground yet.” He would be notably disappointed if I didn’t say that. The last thing I wanted to do was disappoint Mike just before our flight.
Mike knew that I was weak-kneed; I don’t consider myself brave, but because I flew regularly with Mike, I have never deemed myself afraid of heights. At the age of three, I enjoyed being up in the balcony in church. I would gaze down on the congregation and the people would appear so tiny. I also had a spectacular view of all the tops of their heads. I would count all the hats.When Mike and I went flying as teenagers, he sometimes took me for a ‘spin’ especially if I had flustrated him earlier that day. A spin is an aerial maneuver. I guess you could call it an ‘aggravated stall’. Once he decides to spin, he takes us over crown forestland. He simultaneously yaws and stalls the airplane. The aircraft begins to fall out of the sky. It then rotates following a corkscrew path. Looking through the cockpit windshield, I see one tree rotating in the centre like a hub and all the other trees revolving around it. As our plane spins and plummets, I scream like banshee. Mike would then recover the plane and we would be on our way - otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this today.
My one-month-old bottle-baby, Wisdom, has no fear of heights what so ever. Like his goat ancestors, he loves to climb and spends his days at the very top of the steep staircase. The final additions weren’t finished on our barn so there was a small opening in the underside of the eaves where the soffit goes. One afternoon I was on my way out to the barn with Wisdom’s bottle. I heard him call to me. I couldn’t see where he was calling from at first, then I noticed him watching me from under the eaves. He had spied me coming with his bottle. I heard him struggling and all of a sudden, his head and front legs appeared over the top of the wall. I screamed and ran as fast as I could but before I could get there, down he came with his limbs spread wide. He looked like a white fluffy aircraft falling through the air. He landed on his side and bounced right to his feet. Then the delinquent kid-goat came bounding towards me and hopped into my lap for his milk.
Don't worry he wasn't hurt at all; he was just fine. He did scare me half to death. There’s no way of knowing what a kidgoat will do next. We finished installing the soffit as soon as Wisdom was finished drinking his bottle so that this wouldn't happen again. That evening a small group of children, who wanted to see the kid-goats, came to visit. Wisdom was looking down upon our group from the top step with a smile on his face. It looked as if he were saying, “Look at those people down there, they look just like ants.” I wondered if he was counting hats.

We have our new work for October’s workshop! David Gaukroger is busy producing the music for his new children’s opera which we expect to become as popular as Romany Wood.
We are privileged to to have the first performance and are proud to know that the last Festival’s Romany Wood workshop – notably the children’s orchestra (a first in itself) – was the inspiration for this new work.
We will have lots of fun (and hard work) with Rebecca’s World which the three primary school orchestras will start work on immediately. The choir contingent will begin towards the end of term.
The Irfon Valley School Orchestra is under way and, unusually, rehearses in school time so it is not competing with lunchtime play. It is already booked for the Festival Holy Saturday concert.
David Gaukroger (composer of Romany Wood) is working on a new composition for children’s orchestra and choir after being inspired by the children’s orchestra brought together for 2014’s Romany Wood at Garth Village Hall.
Holy Saturday (4 April) will be inspired by the Chaos and Creation elements of Haydn’s Creation Oratorio and we will be joined by Irfon Valley School Orchestra.
The Festival is scheduled for 2-4 October (a week earlier than usual) and we will move the children’s workshop (with the new work by David Gaukroger) to Sunday and have the Mervyn Bourdillon Memorial Concert on Saturday Evening.
Gareth Cornelius (head teacher of Irfon Valley Primary School) has given the go ahead for a lunchtime school orchestra, starting after Christmas. Irfon Valley will join Llanelwedd and Builth Primaries in providing an ensemble for all the children learning orchestral instruments. See the projects page for more details.
The festival plans to bring these groups together in future events.
We thank South Powys Youth Music (SPYM) who, in recognition of our work in encouraging primary ensembles and similar projects, is providing financial support.
The performance of Haydn’s Seven Last Words Quartets at Beulah Chapel on Holy Saturday was accompanied by readings, poetry and songs on the theme of Remembering 1914. There was a small exhibition of memorabilia and a thematic image was projected for each word.
All the proceeds, amounting to £105.20 were donated to Help for Heroes.
We are pleased to announce that this celebrated men’s choir will join us in the Mervyn Bourdillon Memorial Concert on 12 October at Eglwys Oen Duw. The programme will include orchestral pieces from the Festival Ensemble and will be finalised as soon as possible.

In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-18-00185-CV
MARK DAVIS, APPELLANT
V.
HIGHLAND CORYELL RANCH, LLC, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 13th District Court
Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. D12-21464-CV, Honorable James E. Lagomarsino, Presiding
June 18, 2019
OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PARKER, JJ.
Again, we are asked to decide whether Mark Davis, a former member of Highland
Coryell Ranch, LLC, may peruse various books and records of the company.1 The parties
initially broached the issue to us via an appeal from a summary judgment favoring
Highland. See Davis v. Highland Coryell Ranch, LLC, No. 07-15-00269-CV, 2016 Tex.
App. LEXIS 3138 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Mar. 18, 2018, pet. denied) (mem. op.). Due to
1 Because this appeal was transferred from the Tenth Court of Appeals, we are obligated to apply
its precedent when available in the event of a conflict between the precedents of that court and this Court.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3.
the absence from the summary judgment record of pertinent company records, though,
we were unable to provide them a substantive answer. Id. at *4–5 (stating that “[t]he
summary judgment record before us does not contain the ‘governing documents’ of
Highland. Without them, the trial court could not hold that Highland established, as a
matter of law, that Davis was unentitled to view the records.”). Upon remand, Highland
filed a second summary judgment motion. Attached to it were the governing documents
alluded to in our first opinion. The trial court granted the motion, thereby denying Davis
opportunity to review the documents and disposing of his suit to access them. We
reverse.
Law of the Case
A preliminary matter before us concerns the doctrine of law of the case. Davis
argues that, through our prior opinion, we held that the statutes in play entitled him, as a
matter of law, to review the records. Thus, our purported holding allegedly constitutes
the law of the case, controls the outcome here, and requires reversal without further
comment. We disagree.
Per the doctrine of law of the case, questions of law decided on appeal to a court
of last resort generally govern the case throughout its subsequent stages. State v.
Riemer, No. 07-18-00002-CV, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 1801, at *5 (Tex. App.—Amarillo
Mar. 7, 2019, no pet.). In other words, a court of appeals is ordinarily bound by its initial
decision if there is a subsequent appeal in the same case. See Briscoe v. Goodmark
Corp., 102 S.W.3d 714, 716 (Tex. 2003). Reconsideration of issues is not absolutely
barred, however. Id. Indeed, whether to apply the doctrine is a discretionary matter. Id.;
Riemer, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 1801, at *5. Examples of when discretion may be
2
exercised legitimately to forgo application of the doctrine include situations where either
the issues or facts presented in successive appeals substantially differ from those
presented earlier, see Riemer, 2019 Tex. App. LEXIS 1801, at *5–6, and where the prior
decision was clearly wrong. See Briscoe, 102 S.W.3d at 716–17. Highland argues,
among other things, that if we did interpret the relevant statutes in a manner favorable to
Davis, then we were clearly wrong. That, at the very least, is a sufficient reason to forgo
the doctrine’s application here. Simply put, a wrong decision is subject to correction.
Additionally, our resolution of the prior appeal revolved around whether Highland
established its entitlement to summary judgment as a matter of law based on the
summary judgment record before the trial court. Though we alluded to statutes there that
have continued relevance here, the central debate here differs from that there. As we
observed in our initial opinion, the statutory definitions in play here were not cited or
addressed by either party there. Davis, 2016 Tex. App. LEXIS 3138, at *3. So, the issue
now before us differs in a substantive way.
Given the foregoing circumstances, the doctrine raised by Davis does not control.
We may proceed to substantively address that which neither party did previously.
Former Member and Business Records
Next, Highland is a limited liability company. Furthermore, no one disputes that
Davis was one of two original members. Nor do the litigants dispute that he relinquished
his interest in the company in 2005. Davis, 2016 Tex. App. LEXIS 3138, at *1.
Furthermore, Davis requested of Highland various business records developed by the
company while he was a member. Id. It apparently provided some but not others, and
Davis sued to obtain those that were not given him. Highland moved for summary
3
judgment, contending that, as an ex-member of the business, he had no right to them.
The sole issue before us involves the right, if any, of a former member of a limited liability
company to business records of the company. That is, can he be denied access simply
because he is not a current member of the company?
Per § 101.502(a) of the Texas Business Organizations Code, a “member of a
limited liability company or an assignee of a membership interest . . . or a representative
of the member or assignee, on written request and for a proper purpose, may examine
and copy at any reasonable time and at the member’s or assignee’s expense . . . [both]
records required under Sections 3.151 and 101.501 . . . and . . . other information
regarding the business, affairs, and financial condition of the company that is reasonable
for the person to examine and copy.” TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 101.502(a)(1), (2)
(West 2012) (emphasis added); Davis, 2016 Tex. App. LEXIS 3138, at *2. Section 3.153
of the same Code further provides that “[e]ach owner or member . . . may examine the
books and records of the filing entity maintained under Section 3.151 and other books
and records . . . to the extent provided by the governing documents of the entity and the
title of this code governing the filing entity.” TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 3.153 (West
2012); Davis, 2016 Tex. App. LEXIS 3138, at *2.
The same Code also defines a “member” of a limited liability company as “a person
who is a member or has been admitted as a member in the limited liability company
under its governing documents.” TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 1.002(53)(A) (emphasis
added).2
2When used in reference to a limited liability company, “owner” is defined as “a member.” TEX.
BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 1.002(63)(C) (West Supp. 2018).
4
As can be seen from these provisions, the right to peruse the business records of
a limited liability company is generally dependent upon membership in or being a
“member” of the company. Furthermore, one is such a “member” if he “is a member” or
“has been admitted as a member” under the company’s governing documents. One
recalling lessons from high school English classes would interpret the phrase “is a
member” as denoting a present verb tense, that is, a verb tense requiring the person to
be an existing member of the company. Davis does not fall within that category given his
relinquishment of his interest in Highland years ago.
The debate here focuses upon whether the phrase “has been admitted as a
member” encompasses a person who once was but no longer is a member. Davis says
“yes,” while Highland says “no.” Again, harkening back to high school English would lead
one to categorize “has been” as the present perfect tense of the verb “to be.” Additionally,
the present perfect tense of a verb is susceptible to use in several different situations. It
could refer to a past action that continues. For instance, the sentence “she has gone to
the store” denotes the departure of a person who remains absent. In this sense, “has
been admitted as a member” of a limited liability company could mean that the person
was admitted sometime in the past and remains a member.
Present perfect tense may also describe a past action that simply occurred at some
time or another without continuing effect. For example, let us envision Jim, Jack, and Joe
talking over a cup of coffee. Let us also picture Jim asking Jack if Joe ever lost his car
keys. Jack may answer: “Yes, Joe has lost his car keys.” In so replying, Jack is not
suggesting that Joe’s keys remain lost, but only that he lost them in the past at some time
or another. In that sense, “has been admitted as a member” of a limited liability company
5
could mean that the person was admitted at some time or another in the past without
requiring that his status as a member continues.
Highland would have us adopt the former reading of “has been admitted as a
member” and thereby require continuing membership when the request for records is
made. Yet, our doing so would lead us to violate a rule of statutory construction. That
rule obligates us to afford meaning to each word of a statute. See In re Office of the Att’y
Gen., 422 S.W.3d 623, 629 (Tex. 2013) (orig. proceeding). To the extent that the
legislature here incorporated the phrases “is a member” and “has been admitted as a
member” into the meaning of “member” then each passage must be given effect.
Highland’s interpretation does not do that.
If “has been admitted as a member” requires that membership continue, as
Highland suggests, then that is little more than saying the person “is a member” of the
entity. The first category of the definition provided in § 1.002(53)(A) would engulf the
second. The word “member,” in that scenario, would be “a person who is a member or
has been admitted as a member [and is a member].” In other words, the member would
have to be a member or someone who is a member because he was admitted as a
member. Confusing? It certainly is. In either scenario, he would be a member, and we
would be left to wonder why the legislature would define “member” as “a member” of the
company and “a member” of the company because he was admitted to the company as
a member. In effect, our adopting Highland’s suggestion would render the passage “has
been admitted as a member” redundant. That we cannot do under In re Office of the
Attorney General.
6
Instead, we give the passage meaning by treating it in the present perfect tense
referring to an action or event that occurred at one time but is not necessarily continuing.
This would result in defining “member” as encompassing both one who “is a member”
and one who once was admitted as a member at some time or another but who no longer
is such. Indeed, the words “has been admitted as a member” literally encompass as
much, and “[w]e take the Legislature at its word.” In re Office of the Att’y Gen., 422
S.W.3d at 629. The text is unambiguous and, therefore, determinative. See id. (stating
that “[b]ecause the statute itself is what constitutes the law, we have held that
unambiguous text equals determinative text” barring absurdity).
Nor would it be absurd to so construe § 1.002(53)(A). It does not open the door to
past members of a limited liability corporation being able to obtain whatever record the
company may have irrespective of the time the record was developed. Rather, the
legislature curtailed that likelihood by inserting into § 101.502(a) certain restrictive
language. It imposed upon the member requesting documents to do so “for a proper
purpose.” TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 101.502(a). That means the past member would
have to show a “proper purpose” for requesting business records unrelated to his tenure
as a member; he cannot have them just because he wants them.3
We further note another consideration supporting our construction of
§ 1.002(53)(A). Section 101.054 of the Code describes instances when the limited
liability company’s governing document may deviate from statutory edict. Subsection
3 While Highland’s brief can be read as raising the specter of “proper purpose” and whether Davis
mentioned one, that was not a ground upon which it sought summary judgment. Being omitted from the
motion, we cannot use it as a basis to affirm. See State Farm Lloyds v. Page, 315 S.W.3d 525, 532 (Tex.
2010) (“Summary judgment may not be affirmed on appeal on a ground not presented to the trial court in
the motion.”).
7
101.054 prohibits that document or “company agreement” from “unreasonably restrict[ing]
a person’s right of access to records and information under Section 101.052.” Id.
§ 101.054(e) (West Supp. 2018) (emphasis added). The passage denotes a legislative
desire to forgo undue or excessive restriction on rights of access. If we were to adopt
Highland’s position, then no past member of the company could obtain its business
records even if that ex-member had a “proper purpose” for seeking them.4 It would not
take much to perceive an utter prohibition to those records as an unreasonable restriction.
To that we observe the use of the word “person” in § 101.054(e), as opposed to “member.”
The definition of same provided us in the Business Organizations Code comprises a
category of individuals and entities much larger than mere “members” of the LLC. See
TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN., § 1.002 (69-b) (West Supp. 2018) (defining “person” as
meaning “an individual or a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, business
trust, trust, association, or other organization, estate, government or governmental
subdivision or agency, or other legal entity, or a series of a domestic limited liability
company or foreign entity”). Using such an expansive term in place of the more restrictive
4 Indeed, a potential proper purpose for an ex-member retaining some right to access corporate
records is exemplified in one of the statutes cited by the dissent. It mentions that a portion of § 101.111 of
the Business Organizations Code would be made redundant if the definition of members were to include
those admitted at one time or another under the agreement but who had assigned their interest to another.
The provision in question, § 101.111(a) provides that an assignor remains a member until the assignee
becomes a member. TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 101.111(a) (West 2012). “If . . . former members remain
members . . . that provision is unnecessary,” according to the dissent. Yet, per subparagraph (b), that same
assignor “is not released from the assignor’s liability to the company, regardless of whether the assignee
of the membership interest becomes a member of the company.” Id. § 101.111(b). As can be seen, ex-
members may have certain continuing liabilities to the company. If Highland’s (and the dissent’s) position
were adopted, then that ex-member could not obtain documents or records relevant to that liability or its
extent. We question whether it would be farfetched to envision a scenario where current management of
a LLC tells the ex-member: “our calculations indicate you owe the LLC X dollars and you have no right to
look at the business records to check our math.” Experience indicates that such is a possibility, if not
probability, when a business relationship ends in acrimony sometimes reminiscent of a divorce. It may well
be that Highland was right when positing at oral argument that the ex-member could always obtain needed
business records via the initiation of legal proceedings. Our interpretation of an ex-member’s right to
business documents relegates the judicial option to the end position of options available. The interpretation
of Highland and the dissent makes it the first.
8
“member” or “members” tends to suggest a legislative intent favoring a grant of access to
more than just current members of the LLC.
The dissent characterizes our opinion here as “a ‘once a member, always a
member’ concept” and concludes that such a concept “is foreign to our state’s LLC statute
and runs directly contrary to many of its provisions.” Yet, how foreign is it when 1)
practitioners opine that the company is required to provide “Members and former
Members access to the Company’s books and records pursuant to § 3.151, 3.152, and
3.153” of the Business Organizations Code, e.g. Frank Z. Ruttenberg, Formation and
Governance Issues in Company Agreements, State Bar of Tex. Prof. Dev. Program, 14th
Annual Choice, Governance & Acquisition of Entities Course ch. 2.2, at 34 (2016), or 2)
the same statute expressly states that “[a] member of a limited liability company may not
withdraw or be expelled from the company.” TEX. BUS. ORGS. CODE ANN. § 101.107
(emphasis added).5 We do not purport to generally say that once an entity or person
becomes a member it is always a member for all purposes as the dissent insinuates and
irrespective of whatever the legislature may have meant when stating that a member may
not withdraw. No doubt, certain ties remain, as exemplified in § 101.111(b) when
addressing a member’s continued liability to the company upon assignment of the
member’s interest. Our opinion simply recognizes and addresses the continuation of one
such limited tie when it comes to those who relinquished their interest in the company yet
seek access to business records for a proper purpose.
5Section 101.107 of the Code invokes images of Michael Corleone’s frustration when saying “[j]ust
when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!” The Godfather, Part III (1990).
9
Years ago, a famed rock and roll band sang, “I’m just a soul whose intentions are
good. Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.”6 No doubt the intentions of the
Texas legislature were good in enacting the statutes at play here, and we endeavor to not
misunderstand what they were. Yet, the juxtaposition of words within a statute do not
always result in clarity. Should our disposition of this appeal fall short of capturing what
the legislature intended, we would welcome its clarification of the matter.7 Until it or higher
authority intercedes, though, our reading of the relevant statutes controls the dispute
between Davis and Highland. And, our reading leads us to conclude that a former
member of a limited liability company is not prohibited from accessing business records
of the company for a proper purpose simply because he is not a member at the time of
the request. No one is free to read into our decision more than what is there. We do not
intend it to cover more than the specific topic broached by Davis and Highland in this
appeal. Nor may either party construe it as mandating that Davis must be afforded the
records he seeks; the relevant statutes impose other criteria that must be satisfied, such
as a proper purpose underlying the request.
Because the trial court erred in granting summary judgment upon the limited
ground posed by Highland, we reverse it and remand the cause.

To that extent, we welcome a dissent here which may bring with it an enhanced likelihood of
garnering intervention and clarification by our Supreme Court.

Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case.
If I understood this correctly, it’s not one-fifth of the total budget, but only a budget one-fifth the normal size for advance funds. The real danger is if anything goes wrong, like a flood or a snowstorm that seriously hurts attendance, then that would also impact the total funds available.
Still, I’d try to ask about those credit card purchases. How can you not know how to contact last year’s treasurer, unless there was a really horrific staff blowup which is not mentioned. Maybe he’s on the run from more than just this con com.
Yeah, the purchases he authorized are final now(though I’d call every dept head and return/hock anything I could get away with), but stuff Gary bought himself? I’d be looking closely at any of those that aren’t absolutely con-related and going after him for every cent. This strikes me as intentional and vengeful on his part, you may as well return the favor.
So long time readers of this site know that I used to write a lot of articles on Witchcraft and Wicca. As I've split off content production on to different sites though, that's kind of the one thing that hasn't been brought along. Something personal? It's here. Something nerdy? Nerd & Tie gets it. Have a fun convention story? I incorporate it into UnCONventional. But my witchcraft stuff? Uh... maybe my Tumblr gets it?
Well not so much anymore.
On Saturday, which is also Mabon, the first episode of Bullshit-Free Witchcraft launches. It'll be a monthly show, but I'm going to be releasing the first three episodes weekly right away... with the fourth coming out a few weeks after (near Samhain). The show is my occasionally snarky (but still serious) take on the modern Witchcraft movement, and I think anyone interested in Witchcraft will enjoy it.
Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.
Because that would be weird.

Watch Instructions
The ultimate display of power
With its vintage-style good looks you might be fooled into thinking that this is just another pretty face. But under the hood is truly brilliant design. The key to this timepiece is the certified movement that was built to a higher standard by our exacting engineers. This Stauer Réserve de Marche runs for 60% longer than regular automatic movements.
The movement is made lighter and to a higher technical specification that is rarely seen. It’s important to keep automatic movements wound to an optimal level and now that is easier since the Réserve de Marche runs so much longer even when not on the wrist. There is a power reserve indicator on the dial so it is easy to see how much kinetic energy is stored in the winding mechanism. It’s like the fuel gauge on your car.
This watch packs a punch aesthetically too. A revival of classic timepiece features such as a white-silver etched dial and a rectangular rose-gold finished stainless steel bezel. A mahogany brown crocodile-embossed leather band secures this engineering miracle to your wrist. When it comes to the price, we've got a few power moves ourselves. Decades of experience in the watch industry has allowed us to store up a lot of trust and goodwill with our designers and engineers. That means we get a good deal. Which means you get a great deal. With the Stauer Réserve de Marche you are fully in charge.

Nearly 40 volunteers from the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration joined today with staff from
the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Rice Center for Environmental
Education, personnel from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
Harrison Lake Fish Hatchery, and students from I.C. Norcom High School
to restore a portion of the Chesapeake Bay shoreline in the first NOAA-sponsored
Virginia NOAA Restoration Day.
Volunteers planted underwater grasses at
the VCU Rice Center sites adjoining the Chesapeake Bay which were grown
this spring in 16 tanks at NOAA offices around the region, I.C. Norcom
High School in Portsmouth, and Nauticus, The National Maritime Center,
in Norfolk. Participants also cleared debris from the water’s
edge, removed invasive plant species, built and installed 20 nesting
boxes for wetland-loving birds known as prothonotary warblers, and tested
water quality.
"NOAA is pleased to be able to sponsor
these annual activities," said Captain Craig McLean., acting deputy
assistant administrator of NOAA’s National Ocean Service. "NOAA
Restoration Day provides a hands-on opportunity for our employees to
demonstrate NOAA's mission to protect, restore and manage our coastal
resources, and in particular the treasured resource of Chesapeake Bay."
“We are proud to bring NOAA Restoration
Day to Virginia. Employees from seven NOAA offices in Hampton Roads
took time out of their busy schedules to help restore the Chesapeake
Bay,” said Lowell Bahner, director of the NOAA Chesapeake Bay
Office. “That shows how committed NOAA employees are to restoring
the bay.”
This is the first Restoration Day held
in Virginia. Restoration Days have taken place in Maryland since 2004.
The annual restoration activities, conducted through NOAA's Chesapeake
Bay Office, which is run jointly by NOAA Fisheries Service and the National
Ocean Service.
The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office is in its
second decade of providing science, service, and stewardship to advance
NOAA’s mission in the mid-Atlantic region through programs in
fisheries, habitat, coastal observations, and education.
NOAA Fisheries Service is dedicated to
protecting and preserving our nation’s living marine resources
and their habitats through scientific research, management and enforcement.
NOAA Fisheries Service provides effective stewardship of these resources
for the benefit of the nation, supporting coastal communities that depend
upon them, and helping to provide safe and healthy seafood to consumers
and recreational opportunities for the American public.
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Department
of Commerce, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national
safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related
events and providing environmental stewardship of the nation's coastal
and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation
System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners,
more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global
network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and
protects.

A bloom of renewed hope amid a twister's ravages
July 25, 1996|By MICHAEL OLESKER
In Carroll County's Gamber, where nature threw its temper tantrum and then blithely skipped town, there's a tiny miracle amid all the ravaged houses, the doorways and roofs tossed indiscriminately about, the mattresses and chairs and children's toys lying haphazardly in yards, the basketball backboard sliced in two, and the line of trees snapped at right angles from the force of the tornado.
"Look at this," says a man crouching on a slab of open concrete that used to be covered by a garage.
Inches from the concrete, innocent as a prayer, there's a tiny rosebush in the ground, and red and pink buds are beginning to blossom. Surrounded by all this destruction, such a sign of life seems inconceivable and perhaps symbolizes something about renewal: Nobody died here, so all can begin again.
Around the bush now stand Ed Sibole and Mike Beacham, with a look of awe and delight at the little roses. They've been out here for days now, since the powerful tornado touched down here Friday, damaging dozens of homes, downing trees and power lines, sweeping two children out of a window, bullying its way through the Four Seasons and Mystic Kane Manor developments southeast of Westminster for about three terrifying minutes and then, having exhaled at length, having grown breathless and exhausted itself, vanished.
Sibole and Beacham are among dozens of men trying to clean fTC out this development. They're with the Popowski Brothers Construction Co., which was hired by insurance companies clutching their hearts over all this random devastation.
"Look what can survive," says Sibole, bending toward the rosebuds.
"And right here," says Beacham, gesturing inches away, "there was a garage just ripped out, and the car sitting in it, the force of the tornado just ripped open its doors."
"Ripped the doors off?" Beacham is asked.
"Nope, not off," he says. "Just yanked open the doors, and that's how the car sat there, with the door wide open. And tore off the garage walls, and ripped through the kitchen and pulled the silverware right out of the drawers."
The two men look down at the little rosebush now. After all the destruction whose remnants they've gathered up and carried away, after all the pain and anguish they've witnessed in the tornado's victims, this is nature's little signal: Stick with me; I have a temper, but I can make magic, too.
"The people who live in this house," says Sibole, "they seemed to be calm when they came back."
"They're all just happy to be alive," says Beacham.
The house's first floor is still standing, but all that remains of the second level are pieces of interior wall and a door frame, which look utterly naked. Someone should throw a blanket over them for warmth, or modesty. The house is at the top of a long, hilly front lawn. Once sitting there high and handsome, it now looks utterly puny, undernourished, its ribs exposed. There is no way to translate the look of such destruction to the anguish of those who lived in these homes.
"The couple that lives here came back after the damage," Sibole says. "The woman got to crying a little bit, but the husband said, 'We don't have anything that can't be replaced.' That seemed to calm her."
"I don't know if I could be that calm or not," Beacham says softly.
The solace people take is basic: Things can be replaced; remarkably, since nobody died, and nobody suffered serious injury, no human beings will have to be replaced. In its perverse way, nature was merciful. Even the two children swept out of their home -- a 2-year-old and his 4-month-old brother -- suffered no serious injuries and were released from the Johns Hopkins Children Center after a night of observation.
"I heard one guy say the whole thing took 90 seconds," says William Hinkhaus, lifting pieces of twisted metal out of a yard. Hinkhaus is in the Popowski Brothers cleanup crew. "Mother Nature can be cruel when she wants to be; ain't nothing we can do about it."
He waves an open palm. Around this lush back yard, there are clumps of things: sofa cushions, chunks of wood, a badminton racket, a sneaker.
Beyond this, across the rolling slopes of these adjoining communities, there's the rest of the destruction: big new houses with their tops ripped away, and trash bins next to them piled high with the remains of the good consumer life; the sound of hammering and sawing and various trucks hauling away debris; dozens of cleanup workers; and, here and there, people pulling up in their cars, moving a few salvaged things from their battered homes to their autos, and then driving away.
The sky is a little dark. You wonder if these folks will forever gaze at a storm cloud or hear the rumble of thunder and wonder if more insanity will follow. But then you remember the rosebuds beginning to blossom in a yard. Life renews itself. Nature got the nastiness out of her system. If she can hold her blustery breath now, her victims can begin again.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS
No. 110,061
STATE OF KANSAS,
Appellee,
v.
SHELBERT L. SMITH,
Appellant.
SYLLABUS BY THE COURT
1.
The factual findings underlying a trial court's ruling on a motion to appeal out of
time pursuant to State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982), are reviewed for
substantial competent evidence, while the legal determinations are reviewed de novo.
2.
Appellate courts in Kansas have declined to find a constitutional right to appeal
and generally exercise jurisdiction only where an appeal conforms to the applicable
statutes.
3.
The court in State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982), created judicial
exceptions to the general rule barring untimely appeals. Under those exceptions, an
untimely appeal may be allowed when: (1) the defendant was not informed of his or her
right to appeal; (2) the defendant was not furnished an attorney to pursue the appeal; or
(3) the defendant was furnished an attorney who failed to perfect the appeal.
1
4.
Under the third exception in State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982),
the defendant must establish that: (1) he or she told counsel to appeal, but the attorney
failed to file or perfect the appeal; and, (2) he or she would have timely appealed, but for
counsel's failure. The lapse of time between the defendant's directive to counsel to file an
appeal and defendant's attempt to use the third Ortiz exception to file an out-of-time
appeal, standing alone, is not a threshold bar to the untimely appeal as a matter of law.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; GREGORY L. WALLER, judge. Opinion filed August 5,
2016. Reversed and remanded with directions.
Michelle A. Davis, of Kansas Appellate Defender Office, argued the cause and was on the brief
for appellant.
Lance J. Gillett, assistant district attorney, argued the cause, and Marc Bennett, district attorney,
and Derek Schmidt, attorney general, were with him on the brief for appellee.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
JOHNSON, J.: Shelbert Smith appeals the district court's denial of his motion to file
a direct appeal out of time. He argues that he should be allowed an untimely appeal
because his appointed trial counsel failed to file the appeal that Smith requested. Because
this case is presented to us without adequate factual findings, we remand to the district
court to make the requisite findings pursuant to the framework described in this opinion.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL OVERVIEW
Smith was convicted as an adult in 1993, after pleading nolo contendere to first-
degree felony murder, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and possession of a
2
firearm by a minor. At the time, Smith was 16 years old. The district court sentenced
Smith to life sentences for the murder and aggravated kidnapping convictions, 10 years to
life for the aggravated robbery conviction, and 30 days in jail for the firearms conviction,
all to run consecutively.
Smith asserts that he told his appointed counsel, Max Opperman, immediately
after sentencing that he wanted to file an appeal but that his attorney had advised him to
wait until the district court ruled on a motion to modify his sentence before appealing.
Under a procedure available at the time, commonly called the 120-day callback, a court
could modify a sentence within 120 days of sentencing in certain circumstances. See
K.S.A. 21-4603(d)(1) [then K.S.A. 1992 Supp. 21-4603(4)(a)]. In other words, a
successful sentence modification on a callback motion might change the necessity for or
character of an appeal of the original sentence.
Smith's attorney did file a modification motion. But after the district court
overruled the motion on March 3, 1994, counsel never filed a direct appeal of Smith's
sentence.
Nearly 2 decades later, on May 1, 2013, Smith filed a pro se notice of appeal, a
motion for an out-of-time appeal, and a motion for appointed counsel. Subsequently, his
appointed counsel filed a docketing statement. See K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 22-3601(b)(3).
This court ordered Smith to show cause why the untimely appeal should not be dismissed
for lack of jurisdiction, and Smith responded that he should be allowed to appeal out of
time under one of the exceptions in State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982).
This court remanded to the district court to rule on Smith's motion for an out-of-time
appeal, which would include an Ortiz hearing if necessary.
3
At the district court hearing, the only evidence presented was Smith's testimony
that, immediately after he was sentenced, he told Opperman that he wanted to appeal, but
that Opperman had told Smith to wait for the result of the 120-day callback procedure.
Smith said he never heard from Opperman after the 120-day callback period ended,
despite persistent attempts to contact him. Smith said he called Opperman's office, two to
three times per day, for most of 1994 but was unable to reach him. Smith said his mother
also attempted to contact Opperman and was likewise unsuccessful. Smith said he
eventually gave up because he "was in limbo" and did not know what to do, until 19
years later when he found someone at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility who helped
Smith with his appeal.
Opperman died in 2009. Therefore, the State was unable to present trial counsel's
testimony. The State presented no other evidence but argued that based on the Kansas
Court of Appeals decision in State v. Cole, No. 105,745, 2012 WL 1649886 (Kan. App.
2012) (unpublished opinion), rev. denied 296 Kan. 1131 (2013), Smith had waived his
right to bring an untimely appeal by waiting so long.
The district court denied Smith's motion. The district court did not make any
findings of fact as to whether Smith had told Opperman to file an appeal, other than to
say, "Well, we have the statement of the defendant somewhat to that effect." Rather, the
district court relied on the Cole decision to find that the passage of time was a bar to
Smith's appeal, stating:
"But the thing that the Court cannot get over is the fact that the defendant waited
all these years and said absolutely nothing, did absolutely nothing.
"In light of the decision of the Court [of Appeals] in State versus Cole, the
[Kansas] Supreme Court would not be receptive. This Court cannot be receptive."
4
Smith timely appealed the district court's ruling.
THE PASSAGE OF TIME AS A WAIVER OF AN ORTIZ EXCEPTION
Smith argues that he should be allowed to bring his direct appeal out of time,
pursuant to Ortiz, because his attorney did not file an appeal despite Smith's direction to
do so, and Smith would have timely taken an appeal but for his counsel's
nonperformance. The State argues that the lapse of time between sentencing and Smith's
notice of appeal precludes review because, by letting the matter rest, Smith waived his
right to an appeal.
Standard of Review
This court exercises unlimited review over the issue of appellate jurisdiction. State
v. Scoville, 286 Kan. 800, 803, 188 P.3d 959 (2008). The factual findings underlying a
trial court's ruling in an Ortiz hearing are reviewed for substantial competent evidence,
while the legal determinations are reviewed de novo. State v. Gill, 287 Kan. 289, 293,
196 P.3d 369 (2008).
Analysis
Appellate courts in Kansas have declined to find a constitutional right to appeal
and generally exercise jurisdiction only where an appeal conforms to the applicable
statutes. 287 Kan. at 293-94. Crimes committed before July 1, 1993, were required to be
appealed within "10 days after the expiration of the district court's power to modify the
sentence." K.S.A. 22-3608(a). For sentences imposed under K.S.A. 21-4603(d)(1), the
district court could modify the sentence within 120 days (the 120-day callback).
Effectively, then, Smith had 130 days from the date of sentencing in which to appeal his
sentence.
5
There is no question that Smith's appeal was filed past the statutory deadline and
that the general rule would result in its dismissal. See Albright v. State, 292 Kan. 193,
197, 251 P.3d 52 (2011). But Ortiz created judicial exceptions to the general rule barring
untimely appeals. Under those exceptions, an untimely appeal may be allowed when: (1)
the defendant was not informed of his or her right to appeal; (2) the defendant was not
furnished an attorney to pursue the appeal; or (3) the defendant was furnished an attorney
who failed to perfect the appeal. State v. Patton, 287 Kan. 200, 206, 195 P.3d 753 (2008)
(citing Ortiz, 230 Kan. at 735-36). In Patton, this court developed rules for each of the
Ortiz exceptions. 287 Kan. at 219-24. In so doing, Patton emphasized that the general
rule barring untimely appeals was still exactly that—the general rule, and that the Ortiz
exceptions were "narrowly defined" and reserved for "truly exceptional circumstances."
Patton, 287 Kan. at 217.
Patton recognized the second and third Ortiz exceptions are rooted in the concepts
of fundamental fairness and the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Patton, 287 Kan. at
218-19. Effectiveness of counsel is generally analyzed by the two-prong analysis of
performance and prejudice set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104
S. Ct. 2052, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674 (1984). Patton, 287 Kan. at 224. A defendant must first
establish that counsel's performance was deficient, and second, that counsel's
performance prejudiced the defense. 287 Kan. at 224. But the Patton court held that
under the third Ortiz exception, when counsel's deficient performance results in the
forfeiture of a proceeding, e.g., the right to an appeal process, the Strickland analysis is
modified by Roe v. Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. 470, 120 S. Ct. 1029, 145 L. Ed. 2d 985
(2000):
"Under Flores-Ortega, if appointed or retained counsel has failed to file or
perfect a direct appeal by a criminal defendant, we will presume the existence of
6
prejudice. This is not, however, the same as a finding of prejudice per se, requiring
application of the third Ortiz exception. The defendant must still demonstrate that, but for
counsel's failure, he or she would have taken a timely direct appeal. The defendant need
not show, as he or she would have had to show if we were using the Strickland standard
as our benchmark, that such a timely direct appeal would have been successful. [Citation
omitted.]" Patton, 287 Kan. at 225.
Here, Smith asserts that he falls under the third Ortiz exception because he told his
attorney he wanted to appeal immediately after sentencing and because he unsuccessfully
attempted to contact his attorney about proceeding with an appeal on numerous occasions
during the year following the expiration of the 120-day callback period, but that his
attorney failed to file the requested appeal. Had his attorney filed an appeal, Smith claims
that he would have pursued it.
In response, the State argued, and the district court agreed, that Smith had waived
his right to appeal because he "let the matter rest" by waiting so many years to attempt to
proceed with the appeal pro se. The district court relied on Cole, where a panel of the
Court of Appeals said whether the defendant "let the matter rest" was a threshold
requirement a defendant must overcome in order to assert an Ortiz exception, and a
failure to timely assert an Ortiz exception could be considered a waiver of that right.
Cole, 2012 WL 1649886, at *2. In effect, Cole said that a defendant may not make an
untimely request to be allowed to make an untimely appeal.
Cole's threshold requirement that a defendant must establish that he or she had not
"let the matter rest" as a condition precedent to establishing an Ortiz exception was
apparently crafted from the following language in Ortiz:
"'A defendant properly informed of his appellate rights may not "let the matter rest,"
Worts v. Dutton, 395 F.2d 341, 344 (5th Cir. 1968), and then claim that he did not waive
7
his right to appeal.'" Ortiz, 230 Kan. at 736 (quoting Norris v. Wainwright, 588 F.2d 130,
137 [5th Cir. 1979]).
The quoted Fifth Circuit opinion, Norris v. Wainwright, 588 F.2d 130 (5th Cir.
1979), involved a different factual scenario. There, the defendant had been properly
informed of his appellate rights, but he did not direct his attorney to file an appeal. In
other words, the defendant made no contemporaneous attempt to invoke the right to
appeal which he had been told that he had. Here, the actions that Smith alleges that he
took during the year after he was properly informed of his appellate rights do not comport
with the Norris notion of letting the matter rest. Smith's immediate directive to his
attorney to appeal the sentence imposed is the antithesis of waiving his right to appeal;
rather, it was an invocation of his right to appeal contemporaneous with being advised of
that right. Perhaps a more accurate description of the district court's holding in this case
would be that Smith's suspension of his efforts to enforce his right to appeal for 19 years
constituted an abandonment of his right to appeal, as a matter of law.
But requiring a defendant to establish the timeliness of his or her attempt to invoke
the third Ortiz exception adds a step to the proper analysis set forth in Patton, to-wit: (1)
Whether the defendant told his or her counsel to appeal, but the attorney failed to file or
perfect the appeal; and, (2) if so, the defendant will enjoy a presumption of prejudice but
must show that he or she would have timely appealed, but for counsel's failure. Patton,
287 Kan. at 225.
Patton discussed the "let the matter rest" concept, but as a factor in the Flores-
Ortega two-prong performance and prejudice analysis. Patton, 287 Kan. at 225. The
court found that Patton had not "let the matter rest," based on evidence in the record that
showed Patton desired to pursue an appeal and had been attempting to do so, but for his
counsel's nonperformance. 287 Kan. at 225. In other words, as in Patton, Smith's dilatory
8
conduct might be relevant to the credibility of his claim that he told his attorney to appeal
or his claim that he would have proceeded with an appeal if his attorney had not failed
him. But the lapse of time between Smith telling his attorney to appeal and Smith's
attempt to use the third Ortiz exception to file an out-of-time appeal, standing alone, was
not a threshold bar to the untimely appeal as a matter of law. But cf. Gill, 287 Kan. at
296-97 (found 8-year delay while attempting to effect appeal warranted denial of out-of-
time appeal, but declined to "suggest[] any bright-line temporal rules").
Because the district court found the appeal time-barred, it did not conduct a Patton
analysis. Thus, the district court did not make the requisite factual findings that would
support the claimed third Ortiz exception. Moreover, the cold record before us only
contains Smith's testimony. Whether this evidence is sufficient to meet Smith's burden
relies in part on its credibility. A witness' credibility is a determination for the district
court to make. See State v. Wilkerson, 278 Kan. 147, 156, 91 P.3d 1181 (2004) ("It is not
this court's function to weigh witness credibility."); Barger v. United States, 204 F.3d
1180, 1182 (8th Cir. 2000) ("A bare assertion by the petitioner that she made a request
[for counsel to file appeal] is not by itself sufficient to support a grant of relief, if
evidence that the fact-finder finds to be more credible indicates the contrary
proposition.").
Accordingly, we are compelled to send this back to the district court once again
for the express purpose of determining whether Smith's testimony is credible, i.e.,
whether he told his attorney to appeal, whether the attorney did not file an appeal, and
whether Smith would have appealed if his attorney had not failed to perform. If Smith's
testimony is credible, he has established deficient performance under Flores-Ortega. See
Albright, 292 Kan. at 211. A lawyer who disregards specific instructions to file a notice
of appeal has acted in a professionally unreasonable manner, and the defendant is entitled
to a new appeal without a showing that the appeal would have been successful. 292 Kan.
9
at 209-10 (quoting Flores-Ortega, 528 U.S. at 477). In that event, Smith will be
permitted to appeal out of time.
Reversed and remanded with directions.

Five
Mom and Dad
I was a happy kid growing up. A pretty simple fellow who still enjoys the simple things in life.All thanks to those two people in that photo.I know that I was a pain in the butt as a teenager. How Mom and Dad got through those years, I'll never know. Patience.Mom had more patience than Dad I think. Most mothers do.Still and all, they gave me a happy childhood and many happy memories.Five years ago this month, I talked to my Dad for the last time.I was in a hotel, traveling for work, he was back at home after a pretty rough hospital stay.I could hear the pain in his voice but, as always, he wanted to know how I was doing.So yes, the last time I talked to my father was on the phone.Not long afterwards he was back in the hospital.Not long afterwards I made the long, lonely drive from Rhode Island up to Lebanon, New Hampshire.It was cold, lots of snow on the ground in Vermont and New Hampshire.A full moon lit the snow-choked fields and mountains of my youth as I drove north.The call had come after church."It won't be long. You need to be here."I've told parts of this story before, here and here.It doesn't get any easier. The pain doesn't go away. It's always there, some days you just don't notice it.Then it will creep out of the mists of memory and wound me anew.I still remember sitting in that darkened hospital making the phone calls that would get the news out to my oldest daughter, The Nuke, serving her country far out at sea on board an aircraft carrier. It gave me purpose, something to do.The next day, awakening at my parents' home realizing that it had been no dream.Five years ago today, I lost my Dad.I miss him still.I miss him always.
12 comments:
On the phone for me as well. Dad was sitting up talking with my mother, sister and family friend. Sounded strong and was in great spirits. Was in hospital for a urinary tract infection. We small talked for a few minutes and he said as he normally did during our phone conversations, "Here's your Mother." that was it. The last words I heard. After a good day on Friday, late in the afternoon all his systems started shutting down one by one. I left SoCal on Saturday travelling all night arriving at his bed around noon on Sunday.. He was on a ventilator. I spoke to him softly in his ear. His vitals were strong but in 45 minutes a noticeable change occurred in his breathing and we watch as his O2 levels dropped off and then he was gone, surrounded by his family and friends. It'll be 3 years in July. I feel all you do. God Bless these GREAT men.
Coming up on 7 years for me. Called on my way home from work and didn't get an answer. Turned around and went to check on him. Sitting in his easy chair, glass of Bourbon in his hand. EMTs and ER couldn't revive him.Still miss them both.
Two and a half years here. Had planned to fly up and spend the week-end with him, but scratched it because he felt good and the weather was poor. Got the call at work and flew it anyway in weather I should never have tried in. Made it just in time to say good-bye. I still miss our weekly phone calls on Sunday nights.
My father died in March several year ago. My sister dreads March. Over the years she has lost a father, a husband, and several close friends in March.What hurts the worse was my sons missed out growing up around him. I will always miss him.
Just over nine years ago, I told my Dad that I would take care of Mom and he could let go. I wasn't sure if he heard me or understood, but he died peacefully in his sleep that night after fighting cancer for four years. I miss him mucho.
It will be four years, come May, that my dad passed. I made a trip to Missouri when his cancer was diagnosed & installed a webcam on his PC. That was seven months before he passed, and we spoke face-to-face like that every week until about 10 days before he died. I'm so grateful to have had those extra conversations. And I still think of things I wish I could ask him about.

FAQ
General
How do I find a provider who is right for me?
We understand the importance of finding a provider who is suited for your specific needs. Our team includes highly trained and specialized psychiatrists, psychologists, advanced nurse practitioners, and therapists offering high quality, evidence-based evaluation and treatment approaches for patients.
What happens at my first appointment?
Prior to coming to the office you will receive an email confirming your appointment. Please make sure you complete the online patient forms prior to arriving in the office so our providers can review your case ahead of time. When you arrive at our office, you will be greeted by a member of our administrative staff. If you have not completed your paperwork ahead of time, new clients will have to complete the paperwork prior to their appointment so we ask that that patients arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time, so please plan your arrival accordingly.
Where are your offices located?
We have offices located throughout San Diego County, including Kearny Mesa, Carmel Valley, and San Marcos. Check out our online behavioral health directory to find a location that is convenient for you.
Do you take my insurance?
We accept most major insurances. If you don’t see your insurance carrier on our list, please contact us to see how we can help.
Telehealth
I am interested in telehealth; how do I determine if it is an option for me?
We encourage you to discuss your interest in telehealth with your clinician during your next appointment to determine if this might be a fit for you. Currently telehealth is offered only for follow-up appointments, not first-time patients. If you do not currently have an appointment scheduled, please contact us at (858)279-1223.
What if my provider doesn’t offer telehealth?
If you do not see your provider listed as an available Telehealth participant, please contact our office to find out more information.
Will my insurance cover telehealth visits?
Most commercial insurances do cover telehealth visits, but coverage can vary by insurance carrier. We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance carrier prior to scheduling a telehealth visit, to inquire if telehealth is indeed a covered benefit for your plan.
Will I still be required to come into the doctor’s office?
It is best to speak to your doctor about the most effective plan for your care. We typically recommend that patients participating in Telehealth continue to see their provider face to face on a periodic basis. You and your provider can work together to determine a routine that works best for your specific needs.
Are telehealth video appointments HIPAA Complaint?
PsyCare ensures the interaction between the patient and clinician is completely secure and HIPAA compliant. The teleconferencing software encrypts all forms of data, including video and audio.

Timeline:
This, I'm actually not very sure about, since we had agreed to actually deliver the gourd *at* the convention.
Describe your Experience. Pros, Cons, Comments:
Pros: Altogether, it was a very accurate piece. I was elated when it was finally delivered, and had even worn it around the convention without my costume on. The details were airbrushed on, at it was made very lightweight and fairly durable. It also had a consistent shape and paint job, and I feel confident when I say that it was the *best* gourd at the convention.
Cons: While it was very durable, the fact that I am a very fidgety, run around person (and everyone and their grandmother felt the need to slap it) the gourd broke in the middle.
HOWEVER, Troy was more than happy to take it right back and fix it up, and while I have long since retired my Gaara costume, the gourd still sits in quite good condition in my room.
Final Grade: A
LOL Thats supposed to be me. Kanira if you could change the name on the front page from my real name to my handle here that'd be great, thanks. Silly Jess

It was 1991. UP Tropa, a group described by its adviser Rogelio Sicat as “isang barkada ng estudyanteng iba’t-iba ang kurso na mahilig sa teatro at malakas ang loob,” was working on “Manhid,” a new production at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, and somehow—the members were not sure exactly how, “the details are hazy,” they said—the Eraserheads got involved.
The rings, which were obscured in the billboard, are Vince and Niño’s commitment rings, a gift from Niño on their first anniversary. “Sabi nga kasi ni Beyonce, ‘Put a ring on it,’” he quipped, smiling.
I retraced Anthony and Mace’s footsteps, looking for Abi Dionisio’s paintings at BenCab Museum, eating at Café by the Ruins and walking to the end of Session Road, passing by people who were offering free hugs.

NATO isn't doing enough for Libya
Oil town of Brega
Libyan rebels retreating from their positions outside the oil town of Brega and facing heavy fighting elsewhere in the country have accused NATO forces of not providing enough air support and failing to protect civilians.
The complaint comes as international players involved in Libya increase their efforts to resolve the situation through diplomatic means. Many rebels say the coalition's shift to negotiations has led to a decline in NATO’s military campaign, a move that rebels say is costing lives.
NATO troops relaxing
Gen. Abdul Fattah Younis
Gen. Abdul Fattah Younis, Libya’s rebel commander and Col. Muammar Qaddafi's former interior minister, said NATO forces were “not doing anything.” He complained that an overly bureaucratic process has created a system that keeps NATO jets from responding to developing situations for hours. He also faulted NATO for limited actions in Misratah, the only large city in western Libya still under the control of antigovernment forces, which he said were at risk for "extermination."
“If NATO should wait another week, there will be no more Misratah,” said General Younis in an article by BBC. “You will not find anyone.”
Younis's sentiments run deep amid the rank and file of the Libyan rebels. After suffering their first major territorial loss to government forces in almost a week, many rebels say they felt let down by NATO, reports The Wall Street Journal. Rebels had held their lines in Brega for three days when government forces began shelling their position and they had to retreat.
“Ever since Qaddafi started looking for a way out, negotiating for an end, NATO has backed off,” said Abdallah Daboob, a rebel fighter who retreated from Brega. “Our question for NATO is this: are you with us or against us?”
NATO has insisted that it is in Libya not to overthrow Colonel Qaddafi, but to prevent further loss of civilian life.
Curt Weldon
Former US Congressman Curt Weldon is scheduled to meet with Qaddafi today in Tripoli. The embattled Libyan ruler invited Mr. Weldon, whom he first met in 2004 when he visited Libya on a congressional delegation.
CNN reports that Weldon will try to talk Qaddafi into peacefully stepping down. Weldon has said it is unlikely anyone can “simply bomb him into submission.” The US also sent Chris Stevens as their special envoy to meet with the Libyan opposition on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, rebel forces can expect a tough fight. Army veterans who’ve volunteered to train the rebel fighters say that many people had never even held a weapon before joining opposition forces, reports the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. It appears that Qaddafi’s forces also vastly outgun the rebels.
Even though NATO forces say they have eliminated roughly a third of government troops, rebels say they still require much more help if they are to succeed. BBC reported that NATO is having trouble staging airstrikes on Qaddafi's forces because they are hiding weaponry in civilian areas, where NATO will not strike out of concern about causing civilian casualties.
Despite the setbacks, rebel forces are optimistic. They say that loss of territory is to be expected in a war like this one and does not constitute defeat.
“There is no revolution without setbacks,” said Mustafa Gheriani, the rebel government’s spokesman, in an article by The Telegraph. “But the people will win. ... We are committed to fighting this tyrant, and either we will drive him out or he will rule a country with no people in it.”
While the fighting has been seen as a back and forth battle, oil futures have edged up sharply. Brent crude futures hit a fresh two-and-a-half-year high today, supported by a weaker dollar and fierce fighting around Libya's key oil towns, with some analysts saying that $125 a barrel was now in sight.
The International Energy Agency's announcement earlier Wednesday that some oil exports had resumed from Libya did little to dampen the rally that took Brent crude up to an intraday high of $123 a barrel, as the majority of Libyan crude production remains shut in.
At 1157 GMT, the front-month May Brent contract on London's ICE futures exchange was 15 cents higher at $122.37 a barrel.
The front-month May contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange lagged behind Brent and moved into negative territory, trading 13 cents lower at $108.21 a barrel at 1157 GMT.
Supply disruptions of Libyan crude have had more of an impact on the Brent benchmark than the U.S. benchmark, as Libya mostly supplied refineries in Southern Europe before the war.
Andrey Kryuchenkov, vice president of commodities research at VTB Capital, said any small indication of supply-side disruptions will overshadow everything else and send the market even higher.
"It looks like we're heading to $125 a barrel--the momentum is there," he said.
Torbjorn Kjus, an oil market analyst at DnB NOR, said it would be hard to see a catalyst that could take prices lower.
The weak dollar also helped oil climb Wednesday, as the euro soared against the greenback on expectations that the European Central Bank will hike rates at its meeting Thursday. The widely-anticipated hike is thought to be the first in a series as the ECB engages in even more monetary tightening.
A weak dollar typically pushes oil prices up as market participants pile into dollar-priced commodities such as oil.

Aspera Ad Astra
Three Sweets to the Wind (2013Nov08)
I finally have some postable Bach (not that it’s great–or even good) that is about as good as I get.
Please don’t feel bad if you don’t watch the whole thing–I get tired as I go along, so the mistakes and flubs become worse and more frequent as the video goes on….
I’m also very pleased with my Improv today–I didn’t really play the whole thing straight through as shown here–it was all in one recording, but there were three places where I played freestyle–and I didn’t have the patience for separate videos, so they’re all bunched into this one video. As always, I hope you enjoy it…

— and the start-up remains in the really early stages with an extremely small quantity of subjects at the moment– however similar brain wave technology has been around to deal with psychological illness given that the mid-1990s. Neurofeedback sprang up a number of decades ago to
assist with anxiety, stress and anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, impulse control and a number of various kinds of dependency. It’s mostly utilized in social work professions or clinics where drugs are not the main approach of treatment, and works by stimulating parts of the brain to send out a positive signal whenever a preferred state of mind is achieved.When a desirable brainwave pattern appears, the neurofeedback device sends out an enjoyable
tone (positive feedback)into the client’s ears, which hopefully causes the brain to extend that preferable brainwave pattern. With time, the brain is trained to lengthen a healthy brainwave pattern permanently. NeuroQore providing at IndieBio Demonstration Day 2017 NeuroQore is based on rTMS technology. It works in
a somewhat various way than other neurofeedback or
electrical stimulation treatments. Rather than sending pleasant tones through the ears to train the brain, it uses the magnetic pulses to send out those tones straight into the brain to develop favorable feedback on its own.NeuroQore likewise measures its outcomes with biomarkers as physical proof. Unlike with talk therapy or drugs, this gets a few of the uncertainty of if and where
the brain may be improving.According to NeuroQore and another expert source we asked who utilizes neurofeedback, there are likewise no side results to these types of treatments. But the drawback is this kind of therapy might also not work for everyone.Talebinjad, who has a degree in biomedical engineering, created the concept after performing his very first brain surgery.” Neuromodulation is incredibly essential and the brain is so complicated,”he said.” I realized during this surgery there wasn’t a great deal of efficient approaches out there. “NeuroQore is currently authorized in Canada, where its head office is in Ontario. The next difficulty for Talebinjad and his group is getting FDA approval, though he says he does have a line out there.And he hopes to establish brain centers where patients can go and get magnetic stimulation treatment throughout California later this year.NeuroQore debuts its innovation at biotech accelerator Indiebio’s Demo Day today in downtown San Francisco. You can see this team and others get on stage and tell you about their new and
exciting biotech startups on our live feed right on TechCrunch by click on this link.

Windows Platform Guide
This guide shows how to set up your SDK development environment to build
and deploy Cordova apps for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
It shows how to use either shell tools to generate and build apps, or
the cross-platform Cordova CLI discussed in The Command-Line Interface.
(See the Overview for a comparison of these development options.) This
section also shows how to modify Cordova apps within Visual Studio.
Regardless of which approach you take, you need to install the
Visual Studio SDK, as described below.
Cordova WebViews running on Windows rely on Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8)
and Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1) as
their rendering engine, so as a practical matter you can use IE's
powerful debugger to test any web content that doesn't invoke Cordova
APIs. The Windows Phone Developer Blog provides
helpful guidance
on how to support IE along with comparable WebKit browsers.
Requirements and Support
You need one of the following OS/SDK combinations, either from an
installation disk or an ISO disk image file.
To develop Cordova apps for Windows, you may use a PC running
Windows, but you may also develop on a Mac, either by running a
virtual machine environment or by using Boot Camp to dual-boot a
Windows 8.1 partition. Consult these resources to set up the required
Windows development environment on a Mac:
Using Cordova Shell Tools
If you want to use Cordova's Windows-centered shell tools in
conjunction with the SDK, you have two basic options:
Access them locally from project code generated by the CLI. They are
available in the platforms/windows/cordova directory after you add
the windows platform as described below.
Download them from a separate distribution at
cordova.apache.org. The Cordova
distribution contains separate archives for each platform. Be sure
to expand the appropriate archive, cordova-windows\windows in
this case, within an empty directory. The relevant batch utilities
are available in the top-level bin directory. (Consult the
README file if necessary for more detailed directions.)
These shell tools allow you to create, build, and run Windows apps.
For information on the additional command-line interface that enables
plugin features across all platforms, see Using Plugman to Manage
Plugins.
Install the SDK
Install the Ultimate, Premium, or Professional 2013 editions of
Visual Studio.
Create a New Project
At this point, to create a new project you can choose between the
cross-platform CLI tool described in The Command-Line Interface, or
the set of Windows-specific shell tools. From within a source-code
directory, this CLI approach generates an app named HelloWorld
within a new hello project directory:
The clean command helps flush out directories in preparation for the
next build:
C:\path\to\project\cordova\clean.bat
Configure target Windows version
By default build command produces two packages: Windows 8.0 and Windows Phone 8.1.
To upgrade Windows package to version 8.1 the following configuration setting must be
added to configuration file (config.xml).
Open the Project in the SDK and Deploy the App
Once you build a Cordova app as described above, you can open it with
Visual Studio. The various build commands generate a Visual Studio
Solution (.sln) file. Open the file in the File Explorer to modify
the project within Visual Studio:
The CordovaApp component displays within the solution, and its www
directory contains the web-based source code, including the
index.html home page:
The controls below Visual Studio's main menu allow you to test or
deploy the app:
With Local Machine selected, press the green arrow to install the
app on the same machine running Visual Studio. Once you do so, the app
appears in Windows 8's app listings:
Each time you rebuild the app, the version available in the interface
is refreshed.
Once available in the app listings, holding down the CTRL key
while selecting the app allows you to pin it to the main screen:
Note that if you open the app within a virtual machine environment,
you may need to click in the corners or along the sides of the windows
to switch apps or access additional functionality:
Alternately, choose the Simulator deployment option to view the
app as if it were running on a tablet device:
Unlike desktop deployment, this option allows you to simulate the
tablet's orientation, location, and vary its network settings.
NOTE: Consult the Overview for advice on how to use Cordova's
command-line tools or the SDK in your workflow. The Cordova CLI relies
on cross-platform source code that routinely overwrites the
platform-specific files used by the SDK. If you want to use the SDK to
modify the project, use the lower-level shell tools as an alternative
to the CLI.

Simon Townshend
It's easy to say that guitarist Simon Townshend has spent his whole career making music in the shadows of his brother, Pete Townshend of the Who. Talking with Townshend though, it’s clear that having a famous brother hasn't hindered him one iota with what he’s sought to achieve through his own music…

¿Power surge yobs could have killed our baby
A huge power surge sparked fires in dozens of homes causing more than £20,000 of damage after thieves stole a safety device from an electricity substation. The surge at 8am yesterday caused small fires and damaged electrical appliances at more than 100 homes in Westhoughton, Bolton. It also left 400 homes without power for more than 12 hours.
A huge power surge sparked fires in dozens of homes causing more than £20,000 of damage after thieves stole a safety device from an electricity substation.
The surge at 8am yesterday caused small fires and damaged electrical appliances at more than 100 homes in Westhoughton, Bolton. It also left 400 homes without power for more than 12 hours.
Firefighters were called to dozens of homes and said lives had been put at risk by the thieves. Michal Rybski, 25, said his seven-week-old son Filip is lucky to be alive after the power surge set fire to a baby monitor.
Michal, who lives with wife Anna in Townsfield Road, said: “The sound woke us up. It was like a little piece of dynamite.
“My wife picked up Filip and I ran downstairs and turned the power off. It was a shock, really strange.
“The fire people came and looked at the baby monitor to check it was safe. It’s only two weeks old. My wife was very upset. The blanket could have been set on fire.”
Fire crews were called to 71 homes and staff from electricity firm United Utilities checked more than 100 damaged TVs, washing machines, smoke detectors, freezers and power supply points.
May Wilkinson, 65, of Southfield Drive said both her TV and microwave were damaged.
“Suddenly I heard a noise. Then I saw smoke coming out of my digi-box. It shook me up. You don’t expect to see smoke coming out of your TV.”
The safety device was made of copper and was stolen for a scrap value of just £20. It is the third substation targeted by thieves in the Westhoughton area in the last fortnight.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Station Commander Paul Etchells said: “Luckily, in this incident, there were no developing fires but it could have been very different. There is no doubt people were put at risk here.
“Also we were fortunate there were no other fires we had to deal with at the same time as we had dozens of calls from people in this area.”
A spokesman for United Utilities said: “The thieves who took this copper put hundreds of people at risk for the sake of £20 but they also put themselves in grave danger.
“This is the third incident of its kind in the last two weeks and given the low value of the copper the thieves are targeting it is really difficult to understand – it is just not worth the risk.”

Hyde Park was the brainchild of Charles B. Hyde, the owner of a paper company at the corner of Hyde Park Boulevard (then known as Sugar Street). When he sold the paper company and retired, he bought a large tract of land on what was then the outskirts of the city. In 1921, he suffered a stroke and died. By that time, he had willed the land to the city for use as a park. A year later, additional land was purchased, and the city began to build the park.

South Kensington is a truly cosmopolitan area with a vibrant feel and an amazing selection of cultural attractions, restaurants, cafes and shops.

Packed full of different cultural attractions, SW7 has a real cosmopolitan feel to it, making it one of the most exciting places to live and work. There is a delightful blend of people residing in South Kensington, with various international communities scattered across the district making it all the more fashionable.
South Kensington covers some of the most exclusive real estate in the world. It is home to large numbers of French expatriates (mainly employed in the financial City centre), but also Spanish, Italian, American, and Middle-Eastern citizens. A significant French presence is evidenced by the location of the consulate, the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle - a large French secondary school opposite the Natural History Museum - and the French Institute, home to a French cinema. There are also several French bookshops and cafes in the area
The majority of properties in South Kensington date back to the Victorian era, when there was a boom in new developments, along with the Georgian period. The area is dominated by striking period buildings, including town houses, detached houses, period conversions and mansion blocks. But there are not many high-rise residential apartment buildings. SW7 is also home to some of the best 'square properties' in London with their incredible communal gardens.
SW7 has an abundance of cultural attractions, including some of London's finest events and museums. Head to Exhibition Road for some of the world's greatest institutions, including the Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum and Royal Albert Hall - all within walking distance of each other.
Packed full of designer shops -- large and small -- mainly around SloaneAvenue and Fulham Road, South Kensington is a fashionable place to shop, and rivals some of the very best retail stores on King's Road in nearby Chelsea.
There is also an abundance of fine antique shops and a range of high-street brand shops that sell everything from flowers to food and wine.
SW7 is also home to Imperial College, consistently rated amongst the world's best universities, Imperial College London is a science-based institution with a reputation for excellence in teaching and research.
South Kensington really is a wonderful place, come down and explore it for yourself and be whisked away by its vibrant atmosphere.

We ask people to sign up to be involved with our Network (also asking others to spread the word through their "networks"). Ideally, we will work with other "preterist networks" to bring about a concentrated effort of bringing preterists together in their regions (state by state - although Mr. Tony Denton's Pret-Net program may be able to get you even closer). Visit his website here ---> PRET-NET
Besides "networking", TPPN aims to serve as a "strategic think-tank" focused on highlighting, and dare we say promoting the networks, associations, blogs, conferences, podcasts, radio programs that provide practical worldview apologetics, Scriptural foundation, and the fulfilled reality, all in a concentrated effort to demonstrate the power of Preterism.
Our efficacy, strength, and Godly influence, which are all definitions of power, is highlighted when we work together to glorify God in and through His Church (cf. Ephesians 3:10).

A Great Week for VBS: Friday Roundup!
Wow! What a week it has been. SO many churches host their summer VBS during this first week of June. We have been overwhelmed by the number of amazing photos of sets and kiddos, as well as the awesome stories of how God is working through VBS.
And we can’t forget that this Monday, we officially revealed the VBS 2014 theme, Agency D3: Discover. Decide. Defend. If you missed the big reveal, make sure to check out these posts:
What do you think of Agency D3 so far? What do you like about it? What do you think the biggest challenges will be?
We want to get a head start on helping make those challenges easier as we plan blog content and assess what types of additional tips and help to provide. Don’t hesitate to chime in!
Did you know that we released next year’s theme so early to give you the most possible time to prepare for next year? You asked for more time, and we listened!
We also know that for many of you, this week is just the beginning of VBS preparation. There are still lessons to be studied, decorations to be made, and volunteer meetings to be had. We’re still with you! Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help make VBS 2013 the best one yet.
If you have feedback, photos, or just want to praise God for the work He’s doing through VBS, join us on Facebook.
Will be scouting yard sales & thrift shops this summer. Hope to make gadgets monthly this year. Can’t wait to see the new kit! It will be the briefcase for my ‘disguise’. Plan to check back often for ideas.
I think Agency D3 will be a fantastic VBS! A lot of people throw out old computers and computer monitors, so you can find a lot of free computer parts that you can make into high tech gadgets by just looking on the side of the street and asking church members to donate their old equipment. I’ve already gathered about three or four computer monitors for free!
We are gearing up for our Associational VBS Clinic we host every year and I usually use the desktop wallpapers to design posters to send to all our churches advertising the event, but I haven’t been able to find any larger-than-postage-stamp background images to use.
Also, I am VBS director for our Church and we have been so excited about this year’s theme…and then we saw the cost and I’m not going to lie…we are very disappointed with the cost for the starter kits. To get all the rotations for all the ages it’s $250!! (Nearly my entire budget) I know the individual leader kits are reasonably priced but when other programs are $100 cheaper and everything you need is in one bucket it’s hard to justify the added expense. I am thankful that there is a bookstore in our area that lets us open up the boxes and look at all the materials before we purchase them. Maybe we can piece together what we need and still do Agency D3.
Clip art can be found on the Decorating Made Easy CD-ROM attached to the inside front cover of the book. Free clip art is also available online at lifeway.com/vbs under the Downloads & Updates Tab.
The new starter kits are actually a cost saving for churches who need it all (all age groups, all rotations). In the past, if a church bought a Super Sampler and then all six leader packs, the final amount was $337.93. Unlike some publishers, everything in the Kids Starter Kit and Preschool Starter Kit can be purchased separately. If you only want one copy of every leader guide (including snack cards and recreation cards) for all ages and rotations from babies through grades six, the total is only $75.88.
The same applies to the Jump Start Kit for Directors. If you don’t want the extras in the attache case, you can purchase the Administrative Guide or the Decorating Made Easy for $9.99 each.
We really try to provide solutions that fit many needs. I hope this helps!

Why should you be using social media? Well, this is why. Your audience is there.
Nielsen did a survey during July – September, 2010 of the consumers who were getting a new Smartphone. 33% wanted an Apple iPhone, 26% wanted an Android phone and 13% wanted a Blackberry device. The same survey conducted between January and March 2011 revealed that 31% wanted an Android, 30% wanted an iPhone and 11% wanted a Blackberry. Android is slowly creeping up the consumer ‘cool index’, beyond the iPhone. We need to be thinking about this when working with application development companies and look to cross-smartphone solutions.
Glastonbury Music Festival in England is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. It’s coming up on June 24-26 this year. They have a new app that features the festival lineup, event map, news, and other details, and allows users to share their own customized festival schedule with their Facebook friends.

They have a new app that features the festival lineup, event map, news, and other details, and allows users to share their own customized festival schedule with their Facebook friends.
The SXSW Music Festival app contains a show calendar, personalized recommendations (Amazon.com if you like …), in depth data on all the 2000 bands playing, and the ability to customize your own schedule. You can even listen to music from all the bands to test drive them before you go to the show. The cool thing about this app is what they call their “hotness” feature. It uses crowd wisdom on what the best shows are to see based on social media buzz.
QR stands for “quick response”. A QR Code is a 2 dimensional bar code that can be read with a special app on a smart phone. They are linked to a URL (preferably a mobile site) to get more information on something. There are lots of uses for them in the festivals and events world.
These billboards started showing up in New York last year – they replaced the racy Calvin Klein jeans adds. The copy reads “Get It Uncensored” , Calvin Klein jeans. If you scan the code you’d see a short video of overly skinny shirtless models wearing Calvin Klein jeans.
Downtown Grand Rapids, MI is working with some other local organizationsto do a GR Tag Tour using QR codes to drive people to audio podcasts. Thiswill give tour-goers some insight on what Grand Rapids was like back in the olden days by sharing stories from the past.
Rather than develop an app, the Rochester Jazz Festival used instructional posters with QR codes on them. Attendees scanned the code and were taken to a new mobile site with all the festival information.
It’s always challenging trying to integrate a downtown into a festival experience. This group may have figured out how. The Geneva Chamber of Commerce worked with downtown businesses and the Swedish Days Festival on a promotion that will help market the downtown merchants to festival attendees. Visitors with smartphones will get immediate access to featured specials and discounts exclusively during the event. When you scan the code, you go to the mobile friendly Swedish Days 2011 Hot Deals page that includes all the specials. Some are offering a % off, others are offering BOGOs.
Have you heard of geocaching? Well, this is a QR code geocaching excursion on the Isle of Jura in Scotland during the 2011 Feis Ile Festival. The Isle of Jura is where George Orwell wrote 1984 and the KLF set fire to $1 million British pounds.The island is also known for its whisky – or we would call it Scotch. Whisky drinking is a big part of this festival because of the Jura Distillery. So Jura decided to help get people out exploring the island a bit more during the event. They came up with the Juracache. Bad phone signals?“If you buy a dram at the bar of the Jura Hotel or ask Sue very nicely in the Jura shop (after buying something of course), they might – might! help you out …”
A QR Code treasure hunt or scavenger hunt might be a fun way to encourage people to explore your event venue and interact with exhibitors/ sponsors. Treasure – work with sponsors to offer prizes for the treasure hunt winnersChallenges – you could have them solve little riddles, answer questions, or gather some piece of information/objectQR – create a different code for each location on the hunt. When players scan the code, the scan could reveal a question or a challenge which will lead them to the next QR code if they answer correctly.This would be great for vendors at a trade show too.
Here’s cool application of location-based apps. I’m proud to say it’s my alma mater – Texas A&M – who came up with the genius idea of doing a scavenger hunt on campus using Twitter and Foursquare. Their goals were brand awareness for their sponsors (Bookstore and Addidas, which is the official brand for Aggie apparel).
For results the organizers said this promotion increased their “cachet of cool” with students. During the 3 day event, they saw a 10 percent increase in the number of Twitter followers and grew their brand new Foursquare program to more than 6350 friends.
The Austin CVB just held a contest using Gowalla. They developed a trip in association with the Fun FunFun Fest held on November 6th in downtown Austin. Their goals were the following: 1) to get festival participants to venture out of the festival grounds and explore some other cool Austin places nearby2) To increase awareness of the festival3) Get people to come into the Austin Visitor CenterPeople who completed the trip were entered to win 2 VIP upgrade passes to the festival.They promoted in on Twitter and Facebook.
From Katie Cook with ACVB:We had 12 people complete our FFF Fest PIP Trip. The winner received 2 PIP (aka VIP) passes for Sunday’s festival. He was stoked and tweeted about it: http://drippic.com/node/10655 Twitter: We had 361 people click on our Gowalla trip link and 245 click onto Austinist.com article.We had 20 RTs of our 4 tweets on the contest. Facebook: We sent an update on our contest to our 5,500 fans and in that post tagged Austinist’s fan page (3,100 fans), Fun FunFun Fest (10,200 fans) and Transmission Entertainment (producer of the festival to their 1,800 fans).
Through this SMS promotion, they were able to measure the effectiveness of a previously immeasurable advertising medium.
Everybody knows about hashtags, right? Has anyone ever used them to follow along at a conference? A conference you’re not even attending? What about a Twitter chat? Tweetchat.com is an awesome tool that lets you monitor a hashtag in real time. Just sign in to Twitter and enter the hashtag you want to follow in the window.You’ll be taken to a “chatroom” where you can see tweets from everyone using that hashtag at that exact moment. If you tweet something, it automatically appends the hashtag to the end of your tweet.This chat is following the hashtag #coopext. However, they are promoting a Twitter chat called “#AgChat”. I participate in a chat called “#TourismChat”. Twitter chats are regularly scheduled discussions that occur over Twitter. Tourismchat has people “attend” from all over North America and several other countries. There is usually a pre-announced topic and everyone can participate. You might want to start a Twitter chat for festival organizers.
Much like groups on LinkedIn, you can now have private groups on Facebook. This “Tourism Geeks” group is one that I belong to. It’s populated with people from all over the country who work in technology and social media in the tourism industry. We bounce ideas off each other, share work horror stories, and share interesting articles, and ask and answer each other’s questions. It’s an invaluable source of knowledge for me when I’m drawing a blank. Could you put together a group like this with festival and events people?
There’s a reason they call it SOCIAL media. You can ask your fans and followers their opinions on any number of topics. They’re usually happy to provide the feedback. You’d be amazed at the response you’ll get. Think of the possibilities for an informal post-event survey …

During his presentation at Dalhousie University in Halifax on October 19th, Dr. Balseiro talked about some stepping stones on the history of the Cuban Missions. He said they started with the Cuban experience in helping Chileans affected by the earthquake of 1960, and also benefitted from what they learned while helping Argelians in the aftermath of the 1963 earthquake, and from what they learned during the many helping missions to Africa and Central America during the 1970s and 1980s. Today, medical solidarity and cooperation is Cuba´s way of providing health care and it is very much rooted in who they are as a nation. Cubans have projects with 48 countries and more than a fifth (22%) of Cuban doctors work outside of Cuba and in projects of medical solidarity and cooperation like the one implemented in Haiti.
Dr. Balseiro, a psychiatrist by training, explained that at the time of the arrival of Cubans in Haiti in 1998, right after hurricane Georges caused 230 deaths, the destruction of 80% of the crops and left 167 000 people homeless, Cubans had nothing in place and had to start from scratch. They were so busy with the project that they survived their first month on canned sardines and tuna. They could not trust the food supply which was probably contaminated, but also they had no time to cook for themselves.
At one point, he remembered, Canadian and American military offered the Cuban Mission protection thinking that they needed it. We Cubans did not accept it, he said, because we felt protected by the people of Haiti who made us feel safe and at home. What many people outside of Haiti and Cuba do not know is that Cuban doctors have been so crucial to Haiti that Haiti’s President René Preval had referred to them as “second only to God.” Cuban doctors know this, feel value; they know Haitians welcome their efforts and appreciate the work they do now for more than 10 years.
On the aftermath of the earthquake that caused so much destruction in Haiti in 2010, Cubans already had much experience in Haiti and have developed strong links with the Haitian people. Dr. Balseiro was part of the emergency response and remembers how people were in shock after the earthquake. Helpers had to be creative, he said, find ways to deal with a traumatized population even with very limited resources. Shock, he explained, is a normal response to traumatic events and providing supports for children, adolescents and adults to help them overcome the trauma experienced became a big part of the work Cubans did. The worse, he remembers, was the cholera epidemic that followed; they had to face it with limited supplies of oxygen bottles which forced them to rationing oxygen among patients if they were to ensure everybody a chance at survival. He shared proudly that they managed so well these challenges that they did not lose a single patient.
Despite the valuable work that for more than a decade Cubans are doing in Haiti many people ignores their presence there. It is not common knowledge. Most people ignore the work Cubans have done or their dedication. The work of Cubans helping Haiti continues to be a very well kept secret, and one that most of us are unlikely to learn as long as we read the international press. The same press that often highlights the role Americans, Canadians and MSF (Doctors Without Borders) have played in Haiti, fails to mention the Cuban presence there. And yet, Cuban effectiveness is difficult to hide when you go through the data which proves their work unmatched by anyone else and their help not only more extensive in time and effort but also more efficient in resource management.
“In general, international news reports ignored Cuba’s efforts. By March 24, CNN for example, had 601 reports on their news website regarding the earthquake in Haiti — of which only 18 (briefly) referenced Cuban assistance. Similarly, between them the New York Timesand theWashington Posthad 750 posts regarding the earthquake and relief efforts, though not a single one discusses in any detail any Cuban support.” [1]
Nevertheless, Cuba continues working in Haiti as it has been doing since 1998, implementing a very effective approach in dealing with the public health issue Haiti faces. Cuba provides not only hundreds of doctors to attend to Haiti’s medical needs, and it has committed to do so for as long as Haiti needs it, but it also provides medical training through ELAM (Latin America School of Medicine) which ensures that in the future Haiti will have its own medical personnel. In fact, the first group of medical students started their training in May 1999, and these days graduates and students from ELAM are part of the effort and work together with other medical personnel in Haiti. [2]
The table below [3] points to the effectiveness of the Cuban effort. Cubans have managed with almost half the personnel to treat more than 4 times the number of patients and to perform almost twice the number of surgeries that MSF (Doctors Without Borders) had –not mentioning the greater amount of resources available to MSF.

Important statistics about the specifics of the Cuban medical mission in Haiti include number of visits to the doctor, doctors visits to patients, attended births, surgeries, vaccinations, and lives saved, as in the table below.[4] These numbers are an eye opener as it puts in perspective the size of the service provided by Cuban medical personnel and helps see more clearly how Haitians benefit.
Data [5] on health indicators for improvements in public health also highlight the success Cubans have Haiti; there are marked improvements in infant, child and maternal mortality as well as on life expectancy since Cuban arrived in 1998.

Furthermore, Cuba, together with ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para los pueblos de Nuestra America), has presented a project to the World Health Organization focusing on the reconstruction of health care in Haiti. This project counts with the support of Brazil while it is run by Cubans; it includes hospitals, polyclinics, medical schools and a comprehensive approach to health and yet, it has not been reported by the media.
Thus, although Cubans have worked hard and well in Haiti, their approach has been successful, Haitians value the work they do and Haitian authorities have recognized their success publicly and internationally, we rarely learn about it from the Media. Why is it that the press ignores the relevant role Cuba plays in Haiti? Why do we rarely heard for example that the President of Haiti and its Prime Minister publicly acknowledge Cuban help as “second” to none. Why is it that there is no mention, nor recognition for the support and solidarity Cuba and members of the ALBA coalition have provided to Haiti? Why is it that most people know nothing, or next to nothing, about how Cubans have helped since 1998, and continue to help, in the reconstruction of health care in Haiti?
I am not about to post the answers to these questions, but I believe it is crucial to ask them –as they need to be considered and explored. Is there any reason why we should not know about the Cuban role in Haiti? Is there anything problematic about us knowing how Cuba helps?
I have my theory and believe that Cuba, although a small country, has selected its own path: it has chosen to establish relationships with others based on solidarity and support rather than on self-interest and revenue. Now, a small country like Cuba, facing so many challenges to its survival, and not allowing these challenges to define. or limit how it defines, its identity and instead chooses to struggle and find creative ways to overcome whatever limitations, it is a noteworthy country. Cuba works at "making it" without losing sight of the vision it has built for itself, without forgetting “the country it aspires to become.” Now, a country like that can no longer be considered "small;" it can certainly become an example to others.
I believe, that a country with big dreams can be perceived as dangerous particularly at times like these we live, times were “globalizing is everything." Worse, a country proud enough to be different, unique even, and in the process of becoming more, rather than less, in tune with its own uniqueness, can be problematic for those who rule, or aspire to rule, the world. Global tyrants of today and the future have plans for turning us all into “more of the same;” they would not want, or allow, us to aspire to be “different.” Maybe, because of this Cuba has to be omitted, ignored, left unknown to many of us. Maybe this is why Cuba has to be presented as “bad” or the "enemy" whenever possible. We are not allowed to have big dreams, to dream big projects for a unifying humanity working for the well being of all its members. We are only allowed their “nightmares of a global nature," their visions of a world working only for a few and leaving the majority of us behind.

A pangram is a sentence that contains all the letters of the English alphabet at least once.
For example: ''The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog''.
;Task:
Write a function or method to check a sentence to see if it is a [[wp:Pangram|pangram]] (or not) and show its use.

## AppleScript
Out of the box, AppleScript lacks many library basics – no regex, no higher order functions, not even string functions for mapping to upper or lower case.
From OSX 10.10 onwards, we can, however, use ObjC functions from AppleScript by importing the Foundation framework. We do this below to get a toLowerCase() function. If we also add generic filter and map functions, we can write and test a simple isPangram() function as follows:
```AppleScript
use framework "Foundation" -- ( for case conversion function )
-- PANGRAM CHECK -------------------------------------------------------------
-- isPangram :: String -> Bool
on isPangram(s)
script charUnUsed
property lowerCaseString : my toLower(s)
on |λ|(c)
lowerCaseString does not contain c
end |λ|
end script
length of filter(charUnUsed, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz") = 0
end isPangram
-- TEST ----------------------------------------------------------------------
on run
map(isPangram, {¬
"is this a pangram", ¬
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"})
--> {false, true}
end run
-- GENERIC FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------------------
-- filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
on filter(f, xs)
tell mReturn(f)
set lst to {}
set lng to length of xs
repeat with i from 1 to lng
set v to item i of xs
if |λ|(v, i, xs) then set end of lst to v
end repeat
return lst
end tell
end filter
-- map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
on map(f, xs)
tell mReturn(f)
set lng to length of xs
set lst to {}
repeat with i from 1 to lng
set end of lst to |λ|(item i of xs, i, xs)
end repeat
return lst
end tell
end map
-- Lift 2nd class handler function into 1st class script wrapper
-- mReturn :: Handler -> Script
on mReturn(f)
if class of f is script then
f
else
script
property |λ| : f
end script
end if
end mReturn
-- toLower :: String -> String
on toLower(str)
set ca to current application
((ca's NSString's stringWithString:(str))'s ¬
lowercaseStringWithLocale:(ca's NSLocale's currentLocale())) as text
end toLower

```
=={{header|Fōrmulæ}}==
In [http://wiki.formulae.org/Pangram_checker this] page you can see the solution of this task.
Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text ([http://wiki.formulae.org/Editing_F%C5%8Drmul%C3%A6_expressions more info]). Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for transportation effects more than visualization and edition.
The option to show Fōrmulæ programs and their results is showing images. Unfortunately images cannot be uploaded in Rosetta Code.

pangramQ[msg_] :=
Function[If[# === {}, Print["The string is a pangram!"],
Print["The string is not a pangram. It's missing the letters " <>
ToString[#]]]][
Complement[CharacterRange["a", "z"], Characters[ToLowerCase[msg]]]]
```
Usage:
```txt
pangramQ["The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."]
The string is a pangram!
```
```txt
pangramQ["Not a pangram"]
The string is not a pangram. It's missing the letters {b, c, d, e, f, h, i, j, k, l, q, s, u, v, w, x, y, z}
```
## MATLAB
```MATLAB
function trueFalse = isPangram(string)
%This works by histogramming the ascii character codes for lower case
%letters contained in the string (which is first converted to all
%lower case letters). Then it finds the index of the first letter that
%is not contained in the string (this is faster than using the find
%without the second parameter). If the find returns an empty array then
%the original string is a pangram, if not then it isn't.
trueFalse = isempty(find( histc(lower(string),(97:122))==0,1 ));

The function pangram() in the VBScript section below will do just fine.
Here is an alternative version:
```vb
Function pangram2(s As String) As Boolean
Const sKey As String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Dim sLow As String
Dim i As Integer
sLow = LCase(s)
For i = 1 To 26
If InStr(sLow, Mid(sKey, i, 1)) = 0 Then
pangram2 = False
Exit Function
End If
Next
pangram2 = True
End Function
```
Invocation e.g. (typed in the Immediate window):
```txt
print pangram2("the quick brown dog jumps over a lazy fox")
print pangram2("it is time to say goodbye!")
```

The Luna County Skate Committee is holding a “Thankful to Skate” food drive from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Luna County Skate Park, 1101 W. Pine St. There will be beginner and advanced S.K.A.T.E. tournaments with prizes awarded to the top place in each division. To enter the tournaments, skaters are asked to donate two cans of food. There will also be a best trick contest. Skaters can donate an additional two cans of food for each best trick attempt. All food will be donated to Deming Helping Hand. For more information, contact (575) 543-6585.
We will be raffling a large Doberman Christmas painting in the month of December. Winner announced 12/10/17. Raffle tickets will be sold at this event.
Additionally, Luna Rossa has invited us to join them in their annual Christmas sale. Luna Rossa Winery will be selling their home decor at 50% off, food items at 20% off and wine at 20% off Saturday, December 2 through Sunday, December 3.
DAG, Deming Animal Guardians will be on site Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM selling jewelry and other wonderful Christmas gift items to raise money for our spay and neuter programs.
We know that many times children and even adult children on your list are animal lovers. Giving a dog or cat or more likely a cute puppy or furry kitten might seem like the perfect stocking surprise. NOT!!
The hustle and bustle of Christmas morning, folks around, children excited and all over are not conducive to re-homing success. In addition, there are numerous supplies connected to adding a new family member. Finally, there is the “chemistry” between human and animal. Sometimes, it is just not right.
But, far be it from us to discourage pet ownership! We just have some suggestions. Buy supplies such as beds, bowls, etc. and wrap them—INCLUDING THE GIFT CERTIFICATE you have purchased from us. (Many of us might admit to a preference for picking our own gift, even silently.)
Come on out, and we’ll gladly help you. Don’t stop with one!!
Remember, the Veteran’s Special is still on all month, and spay/neuter/vaccinate.
Please join Audubon for an informational presentation on, “Mining The Floridas” this Tuesday, November 14th at 5:15 p.m. at La Fonda Restaurant located at 601 E Pine St in Deming, New Mexico.
A proposal is currently pending with the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to mine Dolomite from the Florida Mountains overlooking Columbus Road which would require blasting to break the rock for excavation. The resulting rock would be trucked to the Peru Mill Industrial Park north of Deming for processing to extract magnesium.
The guest speaker will be a representative of "Friends of the Floridas", a citizens group serving the information needs of those who want to know what is going on with the proposed mining project.

Q:
Is there a way to get a certificate for spring boot API to convert from http to https other than self signed certificates?
I use Spring boot for my API and I tried enabling https for my application with a Self signed certificate but while accessing that firefox and chrome showed warnings saying
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead with MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
and flutter,postman show this too so i reverted back to http ,
So is there a way to get a https certificate for my spring boot application?
A:
If you are looking for a free way to get an https certificate and enable https for your endpoint, there are mmultiple ways for you to do this.
If you are on cloud then , cloud providers like for instance the cloudflare provides easy integration of ssl certificates and all traffic to and from your cloud env will be ssl encrypted.Also AWS has the following policy :
When you purchase or transfer a domain name with us you get all those
features included:
Free domain protection & WHOIS privacy, 5 Email forwards
Free SSL Certificate if you also host your website on Cloud CMS
Simple DNS Editor to manage your DNS entries (A, CNAME, MX, ...), configure name servers, domain owner, renewal option
Another method is for you to setup Let's encrypt on your machine to get a free ssl certificate every three months and use that certificae on your springboot application. The certificate is by default valid for only 90 days , but Let's encrypt provides a job that you could run on your server which will automatically update it once it's expired.Once you get the ssl certificate you could add it to springboot easily via application.properties like below. Read guide.
application.properties
server.port=8443
security.require-ssl=true
server.ssl.key-store=/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/keystore.p12
server.ssl.key-store-password=<your-password>
server.ssl.keyStoreType=PKCS12
server.ssl.keyAlias=tomcat

i was shocked too. thought there were plenty of DUTD copies left, then for some reason all the variants were sold out.
will be getting the rarest variant and hopefully any preorder things this time, really upset i didn't collect vinyl back then, missed the super limited version.
I got the pink /100 vinyl of DUTD and it's one of my favorite vinyl ever.
i was shocked too. thought there were plenty of DUTD copies left, then for some reason all the variants were sold out.
will be getting the rarest variant and hopefully any preorder things this time, really upset i didn't collect vinyl back then, missed the super limited version.
That's crazy. When I got DUTD both white and red were still available. NBF is still available though, right? Anyway, yeah, if there's a deluxe, I'm definitely getting it.

Basketball: Huskies stunned at home by whom?
— South Dakota State 92, Washington 73: Nate Wolters had 34 points, seven assists, five assists and no turnovers, prompting UW coach Lorenzo Romar to suggest, “I haven’t seen a performance like that since Jason Kidd.” The Jackrabbits (10-4) snapped a 32-game non-conference home winning streak by the Huskies (5-5). Freshman Tony Wroten Jr. scored 23 points for UW, but star sophomore Terrence Ross scored just six points before fouling out.
— Oregon State 101, Portland State 68: Six players scored in double digits for the Beavers (9-2), led by 17 from Ahmad Starks and 15 points and eight assists from Jared Cunningham. OSU shot 13 for 21 from the 3-point line.
— Virginia 67, Oregon 54: The Cavaliers (9-1) handed the Ducks (6-3) their first home loss of the season. Minnesota transfer Devoe Joseph came off the bench to score 16 points for Oregon, whose starters shot a combined 10 for 29.
— Washington State 66, Western Oregon 42: The Cougars (7-4) got points from 11 players, but no one scored double digits against the Division II visitors.

But Schaaf shrugged off the president’s comment with a smile. “I am proud to live in a country where everyone can criticize elected officials,” she told a reporter in a video her office provided to HuffPost.
Much of the criticism of Schaaf’s decision to warn residents about raids has come from outside her community, she said Thursday.
“I’m so appreciative of the Oakland community ... the feelings of being supported, of being heard, of being stood up for, those have been really wonderful for me to hear,” she added.
After learning late last month that Immigration and Customs Enforcement was planning local raids, Schaaf warned residents to take precautions, saying it was her “duty and moral obligation” to warn her constituents. Oakland is a “city of law-abiding immigrants and families who deserve to live free from the constant threat of arrest and deportation,” Schaaf said.
How dare you vilify members of our community by trying to frighten the American public into thinking that all undocumented residents are dangerous criminals?Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf
Schaaf’s action catapulted her to national prominence and to the heart of an increasingly heated battle between the Trump administration and cities and states over undocumented immigrants.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions also attacked Schaaf on Wednesday. “How dare you needlessly endanger the lives of our law enforcement officers to promote a radical open-borders agenda?” he challenged her during a speech in Sacramento.
Schaaf responded: “How dare you vilify members of our community by trying to frighten the American public into thinking that all undocumented residents are dangerous criminals?”
Sessions claimed that ICE would have arrested some 800 undocumented immigrants had Schaaf not tipped off Oakland residents.
Trump said Thursday: “Where they had close to a thousand people ready to be gotten, ready to be taken off the streets. Many of them, they say 85 percent of them were criminals, had criminal records.” He did not provide the source of that figure or elaborate on the nature of the alleged crimes.
“The United States Conference of Mayors today stands firmly united with mayors across the state of California,” the statement read. “The Attorney General’s decision to yet again threaten mayors and demonize our immigrant communities only strengthens our resolve to fight for what is just as we enforce the laws of our cities. It is unfortunate that the Attorney General continues to ignore both the Constitution and policing practices that have made our cities safer.”

The debt, alcoholism and the eventual sleeping rough all happened by degrees. It was thousands and thousands of small, subconscious bad decisions, influenced mostly by alcohol. Getting sacked from the business news channel CNBC meant I'd gone from £80,000 a year to zero and I'd been juggling what must have been 25 credit cards to keep things going.
How did you get to 25 cards?
I had an extremely good credit rating and the various companies kept offering new cards with bigger limits. When I lost my job the only way I could pay my minimum payments, which were about £2,000 per month, was by using other credit cards. Towards the end I got it into my head, possibly under the influence of alcohol, that I could turn this situation around by gambling - a typical addict's response. To begin with it was just horses, then it became the crack cocaine of gambling - virtual roulette.
How fast was your decline?
I was drinking socially and happily for 30 of the 40 years that I was drinking. The slide steepened and accelerated when I lost my job.
How did you end up on the streets?
I got a series of mundane jobs to keep my wife happy, to make her think I had things under control. But in the end she effectively threw me out and filed for divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour. I had nowhere to go but friends' sofas, or briefly my mother's spare bedroom, then a garage, then council shelters, which I got moved on from. I began to sleep in a walled garden near my old home, underneath bushes.
It's been implied in the press that at first you weren't entirely truthful about the role alcohol played in your situation.
That's true. I was just being economical with the truth.
Why?
I was ashamed. I didn't want anyone to see that I was effectively a tramp.
Was there any way in which you enjoyed the notoriety of being middle class and on the streets?
Being middle class, well-spoken and still having fairly clean clothes was a hindrance as a rough sleeper, certainly to begin with. I was shunned by the others - they thought I was a fraud, that maybe I was an undercover journalist. But as time went by and they began to realise I was one of them, they accepted me.
You say in your book that you don't consider alcoholism a disease.
It's not a good or constructive way to look at it because that's very depressing. But if you see it as something that begins with a wrong perception that develops into a habit that forms a very firm grip and then becomes a chemical dependency, all those stages can be reversed. You can break the chemical dependency by simply locking yourself away. Not necessarily in expensive rehab.
You went to the Priory. What was your experience of rehab?
Very intense, very emotional. There's a great deal of talking, a great deal of crying but also a great deal of laughter. It is relentless - and outrageously expensive.
You must be aware that it would be a huge story if you drank again?
That's a massive incentive. Don't you think I'm lucky in having that? There are people going through recovery who know they could slip off for a private drink and no one would ever know. Well, they would know in my case - a bit like George Best, it would get reported immediately, and that helps me to stay on track.
But it didn't help George Best.
Well no, maybe that was a very bad example. If I was to go out and knock back a bottle of vodka that would let people down terribly. I couldn't live with myself. I actually think it would be curtains if I were to do that.
How do you spend your days?
Talking about myself. After the book launch and second documentary, I face up to the brute reality of a world deep in recession as a 55-year-old looking for a job. One-in-three men over 50 is unemployed. But I'd like to put all this behind me. I don't want to become a professional recovering alcoholic, a teetotal tart - that's not my route forward.
Cynics might say that what you have now is a very good story.
But I want to show people that I'm no longer, as they described it, "a hopeless drunk and a loser". I hope that happens. If it doesn't, if I don't get a job, I won't be able to pay the rent and I'll lose my flat. Then I'll be sleeping rough again, and the danger of course is: could I sleep rough again without resorting to alcohol?

Hello.
To begin, I'd like to thank everyone for sharing such personal experiences that in normal everyday life is so hard to do. All the stories, whether they be good news, introductions, in remembrances, helpful hints, etc. - they all help someone out there. Truth be told, I usually come visit the site when things are on a downturn for my dad (72, diagnosed Jan 06). I usually end up crying after reading but it is helpful. This disease is such that many times you feel alone. It's so difficult to find a support group for this disease. It seems like everyone knows someone who has cancer, but very few know someone with cc.
Recently, I started praying again for the first time in 20+ years. I know it's a cliche to turn to God when the chips are down and we want to ask for something. But the weird part was that I found myself not asking God, but thanking. Thanking for:
- spending more quality time with my family over the last 20 months than the last 20 years- my dad being around to see his son get married when the doctors first said he was going to be gone about a year earlier- my mom being the strongest, most caring, most unselfish person I've ever known in my life- my new wife being so supportive and caring for my parents and understanding for me (skipped our honeymoon)- dad's doctors and nurses being more than just medical practitioners but human beings with hearts- the family trips we took together that we never did growing up- my cat and his fuzz therapy for me- my business partner allowing me to take care of what really matters - not the business- coming to the realization that "it's only money"- finally seeing what life is all about- that there are people out there who genuinely care for and want to help perfect strangers with their words, experiences, and presence (even if not physical)
But now I find myself sitting in front of this computer, crying more with each line I type. I have been praying to God to ask for help. It is clear that dad is doing poorly and the trend is going downward. The problem is I don't even know what to ask for anymore. Do I ask God for dad to go quickly and peacefully with the least pain/suffering? Do I ask God to give us as much time with dad as possible, fully knowing that he will experience extreme physical pain and my Mom emotional pain? Do I ask God for the miracle cure for dad even though there are so many people with a loved one that are equally or more deserving? One day I ask for one, the next day another, and switch again the next day.
I feel horrible asking God for any one of those things and feel so lost right now. What makes it even worse is that as bad as i feel, it can't be even a tenth of how my mom feels since she spends every waking hour taking care of dad and every sleeping moment worrying in her dreams. And then my dad is struggling so hard to deal with things physically, and possibly more emotionally as he keeps all his thoughts inside.
I don't know what to pray for anymore....but I need something to believe in.
Is there anyone else who feels the same? If we don't know what to ask God for ourselves, maybe we can pray for each other.
Maybe we could arrange a set day/time where we all pray simultaneously for each other. We may have different religions and different names for what we call our higher power...but we all share the love and care for someone with cc.
Please let me know if you would like me to pray for you and your loved ones.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
I won't hesitate a second. Please pray for Charlie, Carol, Sarah and Ben. Charlie is my husband, age 52 diagnosed end of May this year with cc. I'm 49, Sarah is 19 and Ben is 16. I ask anybody and everybody to pray for Charlie if they will. I would be glad to pray for your Dad, you and your family. As long as you're praying from your heart, God hears you. So don't worry that you don't know exactly what to pray for. I pray for miracles for us all and also know that God is in control and has a plan for all of us so I know that His Will will be done.
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry about your Dad. I too have seen so many "silver linings" come out of this experience. I'm glad you have so many things to be thankful for.
I'm the main support for my husband. I pray to be more like your Mom. I started out doing pretty good, seeing the good coming out of it, being positive, etc., but lately I've had more trouble with depression (a chronic lifetime problem). I feel that the disease has swallowed me up too. Every friend or family member (bless them) wants to talk non stop about every detail. I just want to scream sometimes and say, "Please, can we talk about something else for 5 minutes?" I know I sound selfish, but cc is like a monster that is enveloping everything in a black cloud right now. It is so overwhelming worrying about Charlie, our kids, finances, etc. I should be on top of the world because next week Charlie is having one of the lobes of his liver taken out. That's great that a surgeon wanted to take a chance on him. If I can't pull out of this depression by then, I'll put on a happy face and move forward as best I can. I'm so tired of being strong for everybody. Thanks for listening. I'm Carol and I'd like to have you and your Dad's name if possible.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Carol,
Thank you for your reply. I know that you are stronger than you know. I'm in my 30s and am at least able to help my mom out with finances and being the caretaker for all medical affairs. Sarah and Ben are at an age where they are too old to not be affected but not old enough to do much to help with respect to the mundane adult concerns. Charlie is fortunate to have you. Something that gives me a little solace is that when my grandmother passed last year, my mother was more at peace with it because she did everything she could while grandma was alive. The worst feeling is when the one you love is gone and you say to yourself why couldn't I have been there or done that for him/her. I know that my aunt feels that way.
I am putting together a list for my prayers and will definitely have you, Charlie, Sarah, and Ben in my prayers. Thank you for having Bill, Amy, Charlie, Linda, and Richard in yours.
Carol, my thoughts are with you and your family for next week - Richard

----------------------------------This is a very personal thing for each of us. Group prayer is a part of many cultures and religions and gives strength to many.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Hi I will pray for you and your father and the rest of your family, also for all of Carol's family. I will also send all the good and positive thoughts I can your way. I ask that you also pray for my husband, Rand. When we were told that Rand had CC I felt so lost and still do at times but I'm learning to live in the moment, to be present in all my thoughts specially when when Rand is up and around. Carol, I have finally started telling friends and family that I don't want to talk about every detail and even don't want them to stop by or go over to their houses for dinner, etc. Those I have told say they are so glad I told them. Family and friends have nothing but good intensions you just have to let them know, they will understand.This site is a wonderful place to go to share feeling and thoughts and I appreciate all of you. Thanks
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
What a wonderful subject. For those who are tired of answering all the questions, you might consider a blog. I started that when Joe was diagnosed 15 months ago (Coburn). I couldn't possible email everyone and keep them up to date. I wanted to spend my time with Joe and the kids who are grown and out of the house but they are always your kids. Joe is 67, he has had a wonderful life and having God in our lives is the only way we could get through this disease. Everything was going smoothly until about a week and a half ago and then he got his queasy stomach back again. We had finally gotten to the point where we didn't think death was just around the corner but you never know and we just try to live each day to the fullest. Currently we are in Ohio helping out our daughter in law who was just diagnosed with Stage 4 carcinoid tumor. We thought that maybe this is why Joe went through this so he could relate to Heidi and her fears etc. We pray daily for all the people with cc and their families. We have up and down days but we know we have a lot of people praying for us and we count on the grace that comes to us to face each day and use each day to God's glory. Joe has been able to talk to so many people about God because of this disease that normally he wouldn't have had the opportunity. He has said many times. Having cancer isn't so bad. Having cancer without God is impossible.Thanks to all of you who reply. Just when we need to hear something good or encourageing or hear someone else is down, it helps. Thanks to all of you God Bless. Mary Anne
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Fatherson -
When we don't know what to pray, or cannot put our thoughts into words, the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf, and offers up our prayers to the Lord. The Lord hears our groans, which is sometimes all we can get out. From the experience of my husband's diagnosis and battle with cholangiocarcinoma, my faith was strengthened, and it was strong prior to his illness. Your faith WILL sustain you during this difficult time, and we are all praying for you and your family.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Oh Maryanne,
I'm so sorry to hear about Heidi. We've followed your blog all along. I'm sad to hear that Joe is feeling queasy again, but I hope that this will subside as well. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Thank you to everyone for your messages. I wanted you to know that all of you have been specifically mentioned in my prayers at night, and especially Carol and Charlie for God's helping hand this week.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Richard, thank you so much for your prayers. You and your family are in mine. I wrote down all your names and put them in my Bible. Surprise, we're off to Chapel Hill Tues. a.m. instead of Thurs. so keep the prayers coming. Charlie will be undergoing his liver resection probably about noon tomorrow. I pray for healing and comfort for your Dad.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Val, thank you for including us in your prayers. You and Rand are in mine too. You're so right about just telling friends and family what we need. I took your advice so that every minute isn't taken up talking about cancer. I hope Rand is having a good week and wish you all the best.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Richard, we're doing well. Charlie's just very very sore, but doing well. How is your Dad? I hope you'll have a blessed Thanksgiving with him and your family. You all are always in my prayers. Thanks so much for praying for Sarah and Ben too. They've been a little lost, but much better now that we're home.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
So glad to hear Charlie is doing well. I'm very happy that you guys can spend a nice Thanksgiving together. The holiday is very timely ain't it. Hopefully Sarah and Ben can enjoy it and not be sad.
We're going to have a tough week. Actually the last week has been pretty hard. It's so difficult because the preceding 2 weeks dad started to feel much better. He suddenly had more energy, distension and swelling in feet pretty much went away, and even his labs showed bili coming down from 4.8 to 3.8 to 3.2 and then to 2.9.
With the improving liver function, onc gave clearance to start new round of chemo (gemzar) but dad literally started to get worse within 36 hours. First he noticed urine was darker and then mom noticed feet and belly swelling. Labs confirmed all this with big drop in cbc's and nutrition (which both had been going up) and increase in bili from 2.9 to 4.6. To add insult to injury he started hiccuping that same night as the first gemzar/deca and it's been pretty unbearable for him. This wasn't a problem in previous treatment rounds.
An interesting thing happened this past week. It was actually my birthday and we spent it together as a family. Dad put on a good face and was a real trooper. However, that night he slept very poorly due to the hiccups. So at 3 am he just lay there and mom woke up as well. They started talking and out of the blue dad asked what's the point of living life like this. On the one hand it's really sad to hear something like that, but on the other hand it was actually good to hear him express some sort of emotion because up to this point he pretty much hasn't said anything. Although the message itself is not the most positive, it at least gives mom an opportunity to have a dialogue with dad about what he really wants to do.
Anyway, this coming week is going to be a bear. Ultrasound on Monday. Possible parasentesis and platelet transfusion on Tuesday. And only if ascites go down then ERCP on Wednesday. The hiccuping will definitely make the procedure more difficult. Thursday will likely be hospital cafeteria turkey for us and clear broth and jello for dad. It sure isn't carving by the tableside along with all the fixings, but at least we'll be together.
We can definitely use the prayers this coming week. Thanks for keeping us in yours.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Dear Richard, what a week ahead for you and your family. I know that must be scary for all of you when your Dad started feeling bad after having some good weeks. A late Happy Birthday to you. I'm sorry you're having to go through all of this. I hope that you all get some comfort from your Dad talking to your Mom about what he wants.
Bill, Amy, Charlie, Linda and you Richard are in my prayers this week and every day. You all have a lot to go through this week. I'll pray for strength and comfort for you and God's healing hand for your Dad. Like you said, I'm glad you're all together. Let us know how things go this week when you can.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
I pray for myself and others that I know that have cancer.
I also like the St. Francis Prayer.
Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make us instrumentsof your peace.Where there is hatredlet us sow love;Where there is injury, pardon;Where there is discord, union;Where there is doubt, faith;Where there is despair, hope;Where there is darkness, light;Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may notso much seekTo be consoled as to console;To be understoodas to understand;To be loved as to love.
For it is in givingthat we receive;It is in pardoningthat we are pardoned;And it is in dying that we areborn to eternal life.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
I am not a believer in a higher power...never have been, and Dave's situation has not changed that. I send everyone who has shared their story on this board all the good energy and love I can muster from my heart. Though that doesn't jive with most people's religious belief's, I am a true believer in the power of positive thought, so I don't think it matters what you call it, but what the intention is, and I hope you will all continue to keep Dave and me in your thoughts, prayers or whatever you want to call them, and I will all of you. I cannot be honest with most people about this as they judge me for my beliefs, but I know the folks here will not. Love to you all-Patrice
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Patrice, Like you said, we all believe in something. whether it's energy, a higher power, or the lord above the heart of someone caring for another is a tremendous power of loving, giving and sharing. You and Dave will certainly remain in my thoughts and prayers, wishing the most positive good energy to flow your way. I have many beliefs and one of them is without a doubt positive thought. Patrice , you and Dave are in my prayers, thoughts, and other beliefs in the most positive way possible.God Bless,Jeff G.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Patrice,
Thanks for your honesty. We all believe in something, whatever we want to call it or even if we call it anything. CC is truly a non-discriminatory disease. It judges not on religion, race, gender, nor apparently even age. The least that we can do is the same.
Patrice and Dave - you are most definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
Re: What do you ask for when you pray?
Thank you Richard and Jeff. I knew I could count on my CC friends to stick by me no matter what my beliefs are. Positive thoughts coming your way too. Dave is not doing well right now. His calcium has gone back into the dangerous levels and we are doing IV saline at home and Zometa (a drug to lower the calcium) from what I have read this is not a good sign. We are hoping he can keep fighting hard until the first of the year when our insurance will pay for him to go to the Cancer Treatment Center of America.Patrice

Accumulation of apolipoprotein E and beta-amyloid-like protein in a trace of the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cell layer after ischaemic delayed neuronal death.
We found that apolipoprotein E (apo E) accumulates in a trace of the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cell layer within 6 months after 5 min ischaemia. Intense methenamine-silver (M-S) stainings were seen in the entire CA1 subfield 3 months after ischaemia. The M-S staining pattern may imply the appearance of soluble A beta-like proteins. The apo E-positive trace was also positively stained with anti-beta-amyloid (A beta) protein antibodies, but not with anti-beta-amyloid protein precursor (APP) antibodies. These results suggest that A beta-like protein accumulates in ischaemic brain after neuronal cell death. Adjacent reactive astrocytes showed both apo E- and A beta-immunoreactivities. These astrocytes may be involved in the clearance of apo E- and A beta-positive material. We presume that the coincident distribution pattern for apo E- and A beta-immunoreactivity implies formation of the insoluble and stable A beta-apo E complex which is known to exist in the brain of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The ischaemic model may be useful in studying apo E and A beta deposition in the brain.

Al-Qaida South Asia Chief Killed in Afghanistan Raid
Al-Qaida’s South Asia region chief, Asim Omar, was killed in a raid in southern Afghanistan last month, according to a statement released by Afghanistan’s intelligence agency.
The Afghan National Directorate of Security said Tuesday a joint operation — a term usually used to describe an operation that involves NATO forces — in the Musa Qala district of Helmand province also killed or captured several other members of the group al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), including some Pakistani nationals.
A U.S. official confirmed Omar's death Tuesday and told VOA the September 23 operation was "Afghan-led, U.S. supported."
Omar was an Indian national born in Uttar Pradesh between 1974 and 1976, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. The U.S. added him to a list of designated terrorists in 2016.
Last month's raid was followed by allegations of large-scale civilian casualties and conflicting reports from U.S. officials, the Afghan government, and local officials.
A provincial council member from Helmand alleged that 40 members of a wedding party, including women and children, were killed in an airstrike.
Haji Abdul Majed Akhund told VOA at the time that the residents of Musa Qala district, the site of the attack, had informed provincial authorities of the wedding ceremony in advance.
“We brought 13 members of our family to the emergency hospital in Lashkargah city last night,” a man named Abdullah told VOA after the raid, which was followed by an airstrike. Local health officials confirmed that 13 wounded people were shifted to the hospital.
“[T]he operation was aimed at al-Qaida targets in the Musa Qala district in Afghanistan’s southern Helmand province, a U.S. official in Kabul told The Washington Post at the time, on the condition of anonymity. The official acknowledged the possibility of civilian casualties.
A separate statement from the office of the governor of neighboring Kandahar province at the time said the target was al-Qaida.
“Last night, Afghan special forces conducted an air and ground operation in Takht Put village in Musa Qala district of Helmand province, killing five key members of the al-Qaida network and arresting three key female members,” the statement read, adding that all the members were from Karachi, Pakistan.

I've only made it to two games this year (one in June and today's), but they're undefeated. I usually make three or four games a year and have only seen one loss (last year's home finale vs. the dreaded Phillies).
Finally picked up the old ticket stubs and figured out I was 2 - 6 this year. I was well above .500 the past 2 years. I think my 2009 (about 11 games and only one or 2 losses) was weirder than my 2011.
3-1 at games. I was undefeated until I decided to go to the game against San Diego this year where Strasburg had the bad start and the "Icy Hot" fiasco. Hell, if it wasn't for Harper I would have seen a blank for the Nats.
Coincidentally, last time I went to a game that Strasburg started, it was when he got pulled for elbow problems against the Braves and (I believe) Batista started in his stead. Still beat the Braves 3-0, but I think that was his last intended start before he was out for a long time.
Someone will have to fact check my memory, but the moral of the story is I should not attend games where Strasburg pitches. Bad things happen.

Andrew Sullivan's 'The Dish' Is Leaving 'The Daily Beast,' Going Solo Again : The Two-WayThe widely read political blog, which began as in independent forum for Sullivan's voice, is going to try charging for its content. "Getting readers to pay a small amount for content," Sullivan writes, is "the only truly solid future for online journalism."
With the blog's contract with The Daily Beast expiring at the end of 2012, Sullivan writes, "we debated and discussed that unknowable future." The team, says Sullivan, "felt more and more that getting readers to pay a small amount for content was the only truly solid future for online journalism. And since the Dish has, from its beginnings, attempted to pioneer exactly such a solid future for web journalism, we also felt we almost had a duty to try and see if we could help break some new ground.
"The only completely clear and transparent way to do this, we concluded, was to become totally independent of other media entities and rely entirely on you for our salaries, health insurance, and legal, technological and accounting expenses."
Starting Feb. 1, The Dish will be back at www.andrewsullivan.com. The plan is to charge $19.99 a year for full access. "To be honest," writes Sullivan, "we didn't know where to set the price — we have almost no precedents for where we want to go — but $19.99 seemed the lowest compatible with a serious venture. We wanted to make this as affordable as possible, while maximizing revenues."
There will be a "limited number of free read-ons a month before we hit you up for $19.99," Sullivan adds, and "no link from another blog to us will ever be counted for the meter — so no blogger or writer need ever worry that a link to us will push their readers into a paywall. It won't. Ever. There is no paywall."

It goes without saying, but Jimi Hendrix rocks. Earlier today I was
listening to King
Crimson and was sadly thinking "was all 60s music this awful and
pretentious?". Then I queued up Are You
Experienced? and on came the sublime "May This Be Love" (aka
Waterfall) and my faith was restored.
Blues
influenced rock? Good. Progressive rock? Bad.
Next up: Little Wing.

They provide leadership and expertise for numerous academy projects focused on the interconnection of engineering, technology and our quality of life.
The A. James Clark School-affiliated inductees are:
1. John Anderson, professor emeritus, Clark School Department of Aerospace Engineering, and curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Inducted for aerospace engineering and history textbooks and for contributions to hypersonic gas dynamics.
2. Ali Mosleh, Jeong H. Kim Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Clark School Department of Mechanical Engineering. Inducted for contributions to the development of Bayesian methods and computational tools in probabilistic risk assessment and reliability engineering.
3. Ben Shneiderman, professor of computer science, College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Clark School Institute for Systems Research. Inducted for research, software development and scholarly texts concerning human-computer interaction and information visualization.
"Induction is a great honor to the individuals elected and to the organizations with which they are affiliated," said Clark School Dean Darryll Pines. "Their induction is a testament to the quality of our faculty members and our contributions to the engineering profession."
Their induction ranks as the greatest number of Clark School-affiliated faculty members ever elected in one year. Only about 70 people are recognized with this honor; the Clark School represents nearly 5 percent of U.S. inductees for 2010.
