Probably because of my military background, I am a huge believer in formalities and boundaries. Entering my career as an attorney, I saw a rigid line between acting in my capacity as an attorney and acting as a friend, a therapist, and a life coach for my clients. I believed my job was solely to give answers to legal questions and advocate for my client in the legal system, not discuss my client's anxiety, life goals, and failures with them. And then I took my first family law case.
There is a lot that a family law class in law school will not teach you, and I have learned a lot of lessons over the last few months about how to handle clients in domestic relations cases, mostly through abject failure and frustration. Every client is different and, in order to effectively communicate with them and settle a particular client's divorce case, an attorney must enter the situation with a completely open mind. However, I have learned a few helpful tips since becoming licensed that can help with every case, whether the issue is communicating effectively with your client or trying to stay sane in the midst of a messy case.
Have a proactive introductory package ready to send to the other party.
I know that those of you who have practiced family law for many years are probably astounded that this is something a young lawyer didn't inherently know to do, but it is a very helpful strategy in getting the ball rolling with a divorce case, especially when dealing with a pro se party. I have learned that when I call an opposing party and leave a voicemail, it can be very intimidating and inhibit effective communication with that person because they are freaked out about lawyers being involved. However, when I send a warm letter explaining the process, asking if the other party is represented and presenting the case in a proactive and positive way, communication with the other party starts off on a good foot and generally stays that way.
Connect with other professionals who specialize in collateral issues.
Again, this may sound common sense, but it is immensely helpful for your sanity. The most important business card I carry when meeting with a potential or current client is that of a psychologist. When conversations with your client leave the legal arena and step into the personal realm, it is very helpful to suggest the client see someone who specializes in those issues and to have someone to recommend on the spot. Real estate agents and insurance brokers are also invaluable resources, because most divorce litigants need a new place to live and need to set up new insurance policies. I even recently reached out to a rabbi after fielding a question about Orthodox Jewish divorce customs from a client. I find that clients look to me as a resource for knowledge about all things related to their divorce rather than simply answers to their legal questions, and having a good network of outside professionals helps me resolve divorces more quickly and keeps my client comfortable.
Pick up the phone and call opposing counsel.
This should be the first thing taught in family law classes. However, it's something that far too many family lawyers don't do. When I take a new case that involves another attorney, the first thing I do is call that attorney to introduce myself. I firmly believe that communication is the key to efficiently and effectively settle a divorce case, and I always try to set the tone of cordiality and openness from the minute I take a case. I strive to collaborate as much as possible with opposing counsel because, in the end, collaboration saves both attorneys time, money, and frustration. This is especially true in cases where one party controlled the accounts, bills, taxes, and other financial items throughout the marriage; in these cases, it is nearly impossible to gather information without communicating effectively with the other side.
Maintain your hobbies.
Work–life balance is especially important when you are dealing with divorce cases. The emotional nature of these cases can make client contact very stressful at times, more so than other practice areas. Whatever it is that keeps you at peace and keeps you centered, do it. And do it regularly. And leave your smartphone at home. Being outdoors hiking or skiing at least one day per week keeps me centered; I feel completely reset and calm after a day in the mountains. It's easy to let your hobbies and your interests slide to the back burner while working as a solo practitioner handling all aspects of a law practice, but keeping your sanity is paramount if you want to be an effective divorce attorney.
Almost all of you have more experience than I do, because I'm at the beginning of my career. What would you add to this list? What do you find to be the most important qualities of a divorce attorney? Comments are always welcome!

It didn't hurt, nor was there a flavor of fallen grace.
It didn't feel like the rain, nor bursts of thunder.
It was a rather banal affair, very commonplace
When I finally lost my virginity, down under.
The winter hesitated, then shoved its deep claws
Into me, while King's cross pulled out my eyes.
Sydney had welcomed me with all of its flaws.
All of it's spectacular lows. All of it's spectacular highs.
Through St. Mary's cathedral, to the cupids of the park.
I stepped out for a glorious sunrise with only love's cloak.
Before venturing into the blue mountains in the cold dark.
And admired the 3 sisters: A lustful masterstroke.
To the drunk Aussie weather gods and goddesses,
I said a solemn cheers. For all their winter excesses.

Master Teacher Interview With Douglas Syme
By Cheryl Miracle
Dr. Douglas Syme has been the director of the Milwaukee High School of the Arts jazz program since 2001. Dr. Syme had been the band director and department chair at Vincent High School, taught jazz studies and classical guitar at UW-Stevens Point, and worked with the MYSO jazz studies program from 2004-2012. Dr. Syme holds a B.M. from Northern Illinois University, an M.M.E from UW-Stevens Point, completed his teacher licensure at Alverno College and received his D.M.A. from Boston University. Dr. Syme is currently serving as the WMEA state chair for jazz education.
What is the best part of being a music teacher? Why do you wake up and do what you do each day?
"I think just the fact that I still get to go to work with a guitar in my bag… nothing is perfect, but I don't think a musician can complain about making a living with music. I still spend a good part of my day talking about guitars and amplifiers and picks with really smart kids who are as much into it as I am… you still get a chance to share your craft."
What misconceptions do educators sometimes have about teaching in an urban school district that you would like to speak to?
"Maybe the misconception that it's just so downright dangerous every day. I think the frustration of fighting the day-to-day battle with apathy and things like attendance is more challenging than any fear I have. A lot of these students are coming from a culture that doesn't value education so I fight that, too… In an urban setting you have to be more realistic about what you're going to accomplish. It's more important to take a kid from point A to point B no matter where they're at."
How can we attract highly qualified music teachers to our profession?
"I think part of it is you better look at your high school and realize you need to recruit a bit. I didn't play a traditional "band" instrument. I played percussion in the Wind Ensemble only because my director wanted me on guitar in the Jazz Band once a week. Why don't you find those musicians, too? There are many musicians that are not in band, choir or orchestra. Go get them and make them feel welcome."

With it's tasty food, complex language, and busy cities, China is a whirlwind for your senses. If you're planning to visit in the near future, help yourself prepare by checking out my tips for your first trip to China.
Prepare for crowds
China has over a BILLION more residents than the U.S., meaning just about everywhere you go you're going to run into crowds. Even in Shenzhen, an area better know for engineering than tourism, I found my friend and I were constantly shoving our way onto the metro.
A larger population also means the cities are bigger than you expect them to be. In Seattle for example, we have one major metro line running from the airport to the university, and the total trip length takes about an hour. In Shenzhen, the metro map was a mess of intertwined rail lines and transfers. Due to the sheer size of the city, it often took 2+ hours traveling in one direction.
Low Season
To save time and avoid crowds, plan your trip to China during the low season (late October - March). The one exception to that being Chinese New Year, when crowds in the cities are at their largest.
Work around the language barrier
Unless your best friend happens to speak Chinese (mine does hehe), you're bound to struggle a bit with the language barrier. While English can often be found on street signs in the cities, few locals can speak it.
Getting directions
This can make things like finding your way back to your hostel/hotel very difficult. In this situation, I recommend keeping a business card with the name and address of the place you're staying at, as well as taking a picture of what it looks like from the outside.
Ordering food
In restaurants, smiling and pointing to pictures of dishes you like is a good place to start. I did eat at a few places though which did not have pictures on their menu so be prepared to improvise. If you're traveling long enough, learn a few names of particular foods you like (I became an expert at ordering buns and egg tarts).
If all else fails, partner up with other travelers you meet and conquer the city together. Two minds are better than one, and it'll make you feel better knowing you have a buddy if you get lost.
Accept that people will stare
Outside of major tourist destinations, expect to get some stares from the locals. Many people aren't used to seeing foreigners everyday, and therefore are curious. Remember to try and stay polite in these situations even if the staring starts to get a little old.
If you're up for it, have a little fun and stare back haha. I had countless starting contests during my trip, and it always brought a smile to people's faces.
Get connected
Due to censorship of news and media, you will be unable to access sites like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter while traveling. However, there is a slight way to work around this, and still stay connected in China.
Download a VPN
By downloading a virtual private network (VPN) ahead of time, you'll be able to access your usual sites as long as you're connected to a decent WiFi connection. During my trip, I used a free app called Turbo VPN and it did the job.
Another great app to get is WeChat. This is the most popular messaging app for people in China, and will come in handy if you wish to stay in touch with a local you meet.
Eight 8's
When it comes to wifi passwords, people in China aren't very creative. A good 30% of the time, typing in '88888888,' will do the trick. This is because the number eight is considered to be an incredibly lucky over there.
Keep a look out for other uses of the number 8 in China and you'll suddenly have a fun travel game. We found dim sum in sets of 8, and phone numbers where the majority of the numbers in them were 8's.
Be health conscious
Whenever you travel someplace new, it's important to be conscious of how to stay healthy during your visit. Read up on things like how safe a country's water is, and what to expect from public restrooms.
In China, it's best to stay away from tap water and only drink water that's bottled or has been boiled. Tea is served almost everywhere in China, and is not only safe to drink, but delicious! It's also commonly used to rinse off one's dishes at the table before eating. If you see an empty bowl in the middle of the table, rinse the dishes over it.
Most bathrooms I encountered were not stocked with toilet paper or soap, unless they were in a nice mall or restaurant. As a result, people commonly carry around their own napkin packs. I got used to saving the ones you can buy at restaurants, but you can also find them in any local convenience store. To make up for the soap, I recommend bringing a travel size bottle of hand sanitizer from home.
Go out at night
While China was great to explore during the day, the cities had an entirely different feeling to them at night. Instead of hiding away in their homes, parents take their kids out to play, the elderly participate in dance classes, and street vendors continue to provide late night snacks. For most people in China, the evening hours are a time to be active and socialize.
Coming from Seattle, this was a major shock to me. I'm not used to doing much at night, but in China, I walked around for hours. Not only did I feel safe, there was plenty to keep a person entertained. One night, Yuting and I came back to a televised Karaoke contest outside our hotel...
Have an open mind when it comes to food
The food in China is some of the best in the world. However, chances are you're going to encounter spices, flavors, and animal body parts you may never have tried before. Keep an open mind and close your eyes if you have to - just don't miss out on Chinese cuisine!
Eating ETIQUETTE
At restaurants, food is typically served family style in China. If you find yourself with locals, take your time and enjoy the meal. Eating is a social event, and is not something that's often rushed.
I also recommend learning how to use chopsticks before you arrive. Using a fork easily identifies you as a tourist, and gives people one more reason to stare. Most dishes in China can always be eaten with either chopsticks or a soup spoon.
Grocery Stores
During my stay, I can't remember a day I didn't stop at the grocery store. The grocery stores in China are a foodie's paradise. Creamy yogurt, fluffy cakes, and snacks galore! There's so much more variety than grocery stores in the U.S., and you can taste the freshness. (Check out my post on the best Chinese snack to try for ideas on what to grab).
Street food
Like other Asian countries, China has great street food. In particular, I recommend trying anything that's fried and on a stick, sugarcane juice, red bean porridge, every different type of stuffed bun you can find....THE LIST GOES ON.
Don't let the fear of getting sick stop you from trying these treats. To avoid bad food, look for noticeably popular street vendors and food that looks hot and fresh. While this isn't a foolproof strategy, it has definitely helped me stay healthy on the road (so far no food poisoning but knock on wood).
Get out of the city
While China's major cities are beautiful and busy, the air is heavily polluted. In Shenzhen, I found myself showering every morning and night just to feel clean.
The good news though, is there's plenty of clean, wilderness air still in China. All you have to do to find it is get out of the city. During my trip, my friend Yuting and I escaped to Zhanjiajie National Forest Park for a few days. Not only was the air noticeably fresher, we went on incredible hikes, a cave tour, and fed monkeys (highlight of the trip for both of us)!
Where should you go?
It all depends on where you're starting from and how long you want to sit on a train/bus, or if you're willing to pay for a domestic flight. China's huge and offers something for every kind of traveler. A good place to start your search though is inland. Many of China's biggest and polluted cities are on the coast.
From Shenzhen, Zhanjiajie was a long, but doable side-trip for Yuting and I. However, there are many other beautiful places to visit in China.
Don't let your first trip to China be your last
If your an American, your visa for China is good for 10 years! Don't let it go to waste (Check out my post on applying for a Chinese tourist visa). Even if you're first experience in China doesn't go as planned, try again in a different city. The places you see, flavors you taste, and people you meet will be unique every time.
Also, once you've been once before, you know a little bit more about what to expect and how to prepare.

Mr. and Mrs. Ronald L. Conkle
Our family pets a significant part of our lives. We consider their daily presence in our lives a sacred gift. Likewise, we consider our provision of responsible and loving care to be our gift in return. For the past 17 years, I have entrusted my animal's health care needs to the professionals at Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic. The doctors and staff provide their patients with the most advanced knowledge and innovative treatments available in a comfortable, compassionate environment. They offer superior care in a cost effective manner that is respectful of the quality of life for both the animal and the owner. We wouldn't place our pet's health care needs in anyone else's hands!
Rebecca Moore and Bob Tinker
We have been coming to Pet Haven Vet. Clinic for about 10 years. We are very happy with the doctors and staff at Pet Haven Clinic. We feel like they treat our pets as if Cinamon and Max were their own.
Mike and Lorraine Lauderdale
My dog Chloe has been coming to your clinic from her first check up as a puppy. She is going to be 10 years old soon. She has had a series of adventures as a puppy as well into her senior years. Your office has always treated us like family. It is such a comfort to know that she is in excellent hands at your clinic. Thank you for your passion and compassion in animal care.

We have depended on Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic for all of our pet's needs over the years. Our multitude of cats and dogs have received wonderful care. We continue to rely on Pet Haven Vet Clinic.
Jerry and Pam Schrag
The Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic staff has always been able to get my pets in quickly to see the doctors. One of my pets has required a lot of attention and the doctors make time to discuss treatments and options, and most importantly, understand that they were treating a member of my family, not just a pet. I am fortunate to have such a great team treating my pets.
Monica Miller
I have been a client of Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic for over 2 years. My experience with them has been wonderful. All doctors and staff members are professional and well trained. They help me the best way they can on questions I may have about my pet's health. Another good thing about Pet Haven clinic is that I can make my appointments within 24 hours of my call.
Guillermo Tamayo
Dogs and cats make my home a "very very very fine house." From the joy of a wellness check on a new baby, preventive exams and vaccines, urgent checks and medicine for ill, injured or ancient pets to counsel for quirky animal behavior, Pet Haven Veterinary has served my family very very well. The staff has become friends over the years sharing laughs, affection, and grief over my four legged children and the trials of pet parenthood. I have very fond memories and outcomes teaming with Pet Haven Veterinary and recommend them to other pet Moms and Dads.
Elaine Clampitt
We have been bringing our pets to Pet Haven Vet Clinic for 15 years. We have always recieved the best care for our pets. All of the staff are always ready to help our every need for our pets. We have recieved quality service for affordable prices. We would recommend Pet Haven to any pet owner.
Steve and Pamela Headley
As long as we were in Wichita, we would never consider taking our dog children anywhere else. You and the staff treated our pets like family members, and always went the extra mile when they needed care.

It wasn't long ago that it would have been illegal for this Chicago man to carry a concealed weapon and protect himself against 2 attackers outside his home. Chicago police have determined that the concealed carry weapons permit holder used his gun in self-defense.
The 53-year-old South Austin man had a valid CCW permit and shot at 2 men who approached him outside of his home.
At 2:40 in the morning the man was walking from his garage to the front of his house when 2 males in hoodies accosted him. The men appeared in the gangway between the man's home and the neighbors home when one of the men pulled out a handgun from his waistband.
The gunman pointed the gun at the homeowner, and probably forgot that Illinois is a concealed carry state now and actually allows its citizens to carry firearms, even though there's a ton of red tape to do so.
So the citizen that would have once been unarmed and at the mercy of the gunman was able to fight back. The man drew his own gun and fired several shots at the 2 men in hoodies and the men fled the scene. Think that would have happened if the man was unarmed?
When the police responded to the scene they determined that the shooting took place in self-defense, and they did not charge the CCW permit holder.
According to the Chicago Tribune,
The man had a valid firearm owner's identification card, a valid concealed carry permit and police were able to determine that he had completed a required concealed carry class and was properly trained, Sullivan said.
The man is not facing charges as police search for the two males, described as a tall male and a short male. Those two face charges.

The variety of new things I've learned and played with in the last few months still amazes me. Perhaps the amazement is not that I've learned so much, but that I've barely scratched the surface. I had thought I'd be able to try out each thing as it arose and then reflect on the process here in the blog. Right. Immersed in this stimulating environment where there are so many knowledgeable voices posing questions and sharing insights, I have spent time absorbing as much as I can. My fellow staff members at school have had to put up with my constant attempts to share all this new information – the emailed interesting link, a conversation over lunch, discussions of possibilities I think would be neat in their content area, and so on. However, I have not taken the time to reflect in a blog post for any of it in the past six weeks or so. Sharing with others is good – reflecting for yourself is also necessary.
In some measure, I've been waiting for a "great idea" or some kind of topic or experience that would make for an insightful post. Somewhere along the way I got a little intimidated by the more in-depth posts of others and forgot that I could just post a little something now and again. As a new semester starts – always on that academic calendar – I renew my intention to reflect on little things as well as perhaps the greater questions as they arise. I'm starting an online course in webcasting this weekend, and I'm sure it will provide fodder as it unfolds. In addition, I'm taking a grad class in distance education – another source for reflection. As I continue learning hand over fist (eyes over ears?) I will try to remember to pause, breathe a moment, and put a few words down about my adventure.

LOS ANGELES - Tara Gregson, the heroine of the new Showtime dramedy
"United States of Tara,"
suffers from a severe case of what's commonly known as multiple personality disorder. In moments of severe stress, she transforms from average suburban mom into an obnoxious, hypersexed teenage girl named T; or into Alice, a happy '50s homemaker in heels and pearls; or even into Buck, a hard-drinking, hard-smoking, shotgun-toting man.
Diablo Cody, the Oscar-winning "Juno" screenwriter responsible for crafting much of Tara's life and her world, knows something of what it's like to play multiple, seemingly incongruous, roles. She's been a stripper. A blogger. Celebrated as the toast of Hollywood. Derided as the symbol of all that's wrong with Hollywood. A celebrity. A recluse.
So how, I ask, did she settle on the specifics for Tara's "alters"?
"I always try to find a feminist angle in everything," Cody, 30, explains. "I was thinking about 'What particular roles does a modern woman have to play in her life?' And I can take that to a modern extreme with this show."
In broad strokes, Alice represents a woman's maternal instinct, T her sexuality, and Buck in those moments when a woman feels she has to set her femininity aside to get a job done. (They're all, by the way, wonderfully played by Toni Collette, clearly relishing such a juicy acting exercise.)
Cody's own identities aren't so easily separated by theme, but like Tara's alters -- who can bake delicious cakes or beat up her daughter's abusive boyfriend, but also constantly derail her attempts to have a normal life -- they have their pluses and minuses.
They got her the Oscar, and Steven Spielberg's invitation to write and produce "Tara," and a level of notoriety - in a short period of time - that few screenwriters achieve over a career. But they also led to a backlash as quick and as loud as her overnight success.
The pieces of Cody's personal and professional lives assemble to create a kind of Rorshach test, where some of what people see is defined by what's actually there on the page and some is defined by whatever they want to see.
The details of her biography -- born Brook Busey, she entered a stripping contest on a whim, then stripped full time and wrote a book about the experience, then wrote a blog about pop culture that caught the attention of a Hollywood manager -- were well-publicized during the "Juno" rollout campaign.
In retrospect, she realized those details were too publicized.
"I was so enthusiastic about the movie and had no idea that it was going to do the business that it did," she says. "It wasn't like I was out on this big campaign of self-promotion, though if I go back and read those materials, I can see how it could be interpreted that way, absolutely."
As the media started telling the story of "Juno" and the story of Diablo Cody as one and the same, she began to feel uncomfortable with the amount of attention and the nature of some of the stories.
"I was on the cover of Written By magazine, which is the magazine of the Writers Guild," she says. "It's a prestigious publication, and every screenwriter dreams of having the cover. I get it, and the headline was "Her First Time," which is really sexually suggestive. And I'm like, 'Uh, they don't do that to ("Departed" screenwriter) Bill Monahan.'"
And suddenly the stylized dialogue that many critics and viewers had praised as fun and distinctive came under attack - A real teenager wouldn't talk that way! All the characters sound alike! "Honest-to-blog"? Really? - and Cody was accused of being overhyped because of her unusual background.
And believe her, she understands how and why it happened.
"I come from the world of blogging and I have written some incredibly snarky blog entries in the past," she acknowledges. "So I have sympathy for those people. I have been one, and can sometimes still be one. So those are my people. The meanest people are kind of my comrades, in a strange way. It's not something that I can feel righteous anger about. It's part of the internet, part of the fun."
At the same time, she notes that male writers she admires - like Quentin Tarantino and David Mamet - write dialogue that's just as stylized, and arguably just as interchangeable from character to character, and they don't get called on the carpet nearly as much for it.
"It definitely has to do with sexism. I'm sorry, I believe that it does. A female writer is not allowed to be a maverick. You can write a cute romantic comedy, even run a studio, but God forbid you have an outsized personality, or they are going to bag on you."
She is admittedly so obsessed with the rhythms of speech and the rules of language that she apologizes profusely for splitting an infinitive. But despite all the focus on her ear for dialogue, she tries not to let that define her writing - or to take credit for other people's work.
When I give her four lines of "Tara" dialogue to discuss the thought process behind them, she explains that two were written by Alexa Junge, a TV veteran who runs the "Tara" writers room. One line she attributes to Collette's delivery. The last one -- angry teenage daughter Katie (Brie Larson), caught having taken the morning-after pill, tells Tara's husband Max (John Corbett), "I'm sorry. I guess I should have let that fertilized egg implant itself in my uterus." - Cody did write all on her own, and it was already used in an early review as an example of why someone hated Cody's writing style.
"I got called out in a review, for saying that particular line was unrealistic, because there's no way the teenage daughter would be that articulate. And I thought to myself, 'YAWN! Where have I heard that criticism before?' Okay, we get it: some people think my teenage characters are too well-spoken and sassy. There's no changing their minds."
"United States of Tara," with its outlandish central character, its trademark Cody dialogue and other stylistic flourishes (Tara's has a gay teenage son with the tastes and personality of a man five or six decades older), isn't likely to significantly change anyone's mind about Diablo Cody.
But nearly a year after Harrison Ford handed her that life-changing Oscar, Cody takes comfort not only in this exciting new project that she hopes will occupy her for years, but in small changes in her public image.
I ask if she expects there will ever come a day where stories can be written about her without the phrase "stripper-turned-screenwriter" in the opening sentence.
"It's funny," she replies. "I would have thought it never would, and then I just sat through this (press conference) downstairs and not a single journalist brought up the stripping thing. You could knock me over with a feather right now. I was sure of it, I had warned people: 'Get ready for the inevitable derailing of this conference, because somebody will want to talk about stripping.' And nobody did, thank God."

Completion of CLEAN "ABC" trial/
During the middle of last week, CLEAN Cowra Inc and Cowra Council successfully hosted a launch for the Aggregated Biomass Co-digestion trial.
The launch of the "ABC" trial had a good turnout with a diverse representation from industry and the community. Those in attendance provided probing questions which was a good indicator of the level of engagement.
As the presentation indicated, you need to "learn your ABC" of the make-up of the biomass resource before further developing a project, and the purpose of this trial was to demonstrate exactly that. Also the significant opportunity arising around collaboration, in order to achieve a project outcome at scale.
The demonstration also provided a platform for Council engagement about the opportunities for council infrastructure and CLEAN Cowra will continue the discussion with Mayor Bill West and Council's management on how this could be achieved.
CLEAN Cowra would like to thank David Halliday of Active Research for his expertise and input during the week. Also Nick Bainton who supported CLEAN Cowra and contributed to developing the "recipe" for the co-digested feedstocks, as well as the huge task of preparing and drying the samples to be sent off to three different locations for analysis.
Both were also guest speakers at "Science in the Pub" which was a great opportunity to learn more about Biomass as a resource and the benefits to industry and agriculture.
We anticipate the results from the different forms of analysis will be completed within an fortnight and a report describing the outcomes will be presented in April shortly after the analysis has been compiled.

Play in the pristine waters off the southern coast. Marvel at the luxury homes and yachts of the lagoon, as well as the famous Tafelberg (Table Mountain). Take a beach break to enjoy a refreshing swim.
Then, snorkel at one of Curacao's best snorkeling sites; a tugboat shipwreck on the protected southeast side of Caracas Bay. The tugboat sank 25 years ago and is home to a wide array of marine life. It is common to see morays, scorpionfish, lobsters, and schools of tropical fish among the colorful coral.
After about 40 minutes snorkel time, enjoy a picturesque view of an old manorial estate, as well as the well-preserved Fort Beekenburg, built in 1703 to protect the inner bay, en route back to the pier.

What Happens When a Personal Injury Claim Goes to Court?
When making a personal injury claim, your Personal Injury Solicitor will work to negotiate a compensation settlement with the other side. But sometimes negotiations are unsuccessful, after which your Personal Injury Solicitor will advise that the next step is to issue Court Proceedings. But what exactly does this mean?
For free legal advice call our Personal Injury Claim Solicitors on 0330 606 9587 or contact us online and we will help you.
Why are Court Proceedings Needed?
In cases where a settlement agreement with the other side has not been reached, the next step will be to issue Court Proceedings. This will allow a Judge to assess either 'Quantum' (meaning the level of compensation you should receive for your injuries), 'Liability' (meaning who's fault the accident was), or both.
Will I Have to Go to Court?
Not necessarily. Even though your Personal Injury Solicitor has issued Court Proceedings, it's possible to negotiate right up until the Court hearing. However, if a settlement cannot be agreed upon, then you will need to be prepared to attend Court in order to provide evidence of your injuries or about the circumstances of the accident.
What are the Time Scales?
If your injury claim is worth between £1,000 and £25,000 in value, then the Court will aim to hear your claim within 9 to 12 months from the date the claim is issued.
Why Does it Take so Long for a Hearing Date?
There are a number of steps and documents to complete before a personal injury claim can go in front of a Judge. The Court requires these to ensure the Judge has all the evidence necessary for a fair hearing to take place. Examples of these are:
- Documents that will be used to prove the claim, such as receipts for expenses, photographs taken at the accident scene, and where appropriate updated medical reports
- A statement setting out the evidence that the witnesses will be giving at the Court hearing
- An updated schedule listing your financial losses
- Any other steps that the Judge feels are necessary for a fair hearing to take place
What Happens at the Court Hearing?
Your Personal Injury Solicitor will have arranged for you to be represented in Court by either a Barrister or Specialist Lawyer, and he or she will present the claim to the Judge on your behalf. You will be called up to go through the statement that you've provided. You will be questioned by your representative, and then by the representative who is representing the other side. If you have any witnesses, they will also be called up one at a time to go through their own statements.
The Judge will not be made aware of any settlement offers which have previously been discussed.
Once the Judge has heard all the evidence from both sides, he or she will then provide their Judgment. This will be their conclusion as to who was at fault for the accident (if in dispute), or the level of compensation that must be awarded for your injuries and losses. Once this has been provided, the Court normally orders that the compensation payment be made within 14 to 21 days from the Hearing. This will then conclude your personal injury claim.

Avoiding "This web page has disabled automatic filling for this form." messages in Chrome
Don't you hate it when you are trying to log in to your online banking and Google Chrome tells you "This web page has disabled automatic filling for this form."? I do. It was really bothering me with a new bank account I have, because the username is a hard-to-remember long string of digits. I found a solution. There's a Google Chrome Extension called Autocomplete = on and it turns this 'feature' off. Now almost every login form will autofill for you, even if the web page has attempted to disable it.
Whoever you are who created this extension, I thank you.

LG Rumor
For some time now, Sprint has had a gaping hole in its phone lineup. Although the carrier offers an array of powerful smartphones with QWERTY keyboards, none of its less-expensive feature phones were so equipped. For example, a Sprint subscriber interested in a Sidekick or similar device had no option on the lower end of the price spectrum. The LG Rumor fills this hole. The handset includes both a numeric keypad and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and the Rumor also packs in a responsive OS, a 1.3-megapixel camera, quick access to Facebook, a music player, and a microSD card slot. There aren't a ton of cutting-edge features here, but the Rumor is a dependable messaging handset at an affordable price.

Every week Hannibal Tabu (journalist/blogger/novelist/poet/karaoke host/jackass on Twitter) goes to a comic book store called Comics Ink in Culver City, CA (Overland and Braddock -- hey Steve, Jason, Vince and Sally) and grabs a whole lotta comics. These periodicals are quickly sorted (how?) into two piles -- the "buy" pile (a small pile most weeks, comprised of planned purchases) and the "read" pile (often huge, often including comics that are really crappy but have some value to stay abreast of). Â Thursday afternoons you'll be able to get his thoughts (and they're just the opinions of one guy, so calm down) about all of that ... which goes something like this ...
Dark Reign: The List - Wolverine
(Marvel Comics)
Jump from the Read Pile. Â Most of the best parts of this comic book have nothing to do with its title character, but instead focus on the almost buddy-comedy chemistry between Weapon 13 (more commonly known as "Fantomex") and Noh-Varr, the surly insect-infused man-child from an otherdimensional Kree empire. Â Logan spends most of the issue under the influence of something that makes Hexus the Living Corporation look tame by comparison (and was grown right here on 616, who knew?) but still gets in some good lines, some solid glaring and his requisite amount of bloodshed. Â The Udon Studios-drawn back up story has some slightly cliched elements to it, but packs an emotional punch nonetheless. Â Writer Jason Aaron is throwing down on this issue, giving each character a different kind of snarkiness -- Noh-Varr's exasperated "fish out of water" sense, Fantomex's scoundrel-esque charm, Wolverine's world weariness, Osborn's megalomania -- and balances all the elements with grace and aplomb. Â
Astro City: Astra Special #2
(Wildstorm/DC Comics)
It might be hard for the average person to muster up sympathy for the struggles of the famous and powerful, but Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson give you a surprisingly tender look inside the all-too-earnest world of a super-powered scion who shoulders a huge legacy of heroism. Â Astra takes her "normal guy" boyfriend on a trip to see wonders beyond the understanding of the common man, giving him experiences akin to dreams and yet they teeter on the precipice of something common to every heart, everywhere. Â Surprisingly nuanced, Kirby-esque (or maybe even Morrison-esque, if you take "All-Star Superman" into account) with its nonchalant presentation of the fantastic, this comic is a subtle gem in the diadem of Astro City's body of work.
The Incredible Hercules #137
(Marvel Comics)
Amadeus Cho finds out a lot more than he probably wants to know, as Athena's plans stand revealed while hyperminds struggle. Â The secret, beautiful underlying truth, however, is closer to the words of Dilated Peoples in "Marathon" -- "pace yourself so you can face yourself/run hard, you really only race yourself." Â Unlike some other comics, the flashbacks are used craftily in storytelling and push the plot along, instead of serving as yammering exposition. Â Managing to tie things into "The Twelve" was a nice addition (what happened to that series, anyway?), Â and this issue hit pretty much every note perfectly.
Fun fact: this issue also marks the first time this series has gotten a standing berth on the Buy Pile, and is now considered "buy on sight." It's that good.
Jack of Fables #39
(Vertigo/DC Comics)
The actual titular character is a detriment to the story, and something ridiculous happens to him that's not entertaining at all. Â The cover, likewise, is a ruse: of the characters depicted there, only one is in this actual issue, and he's the best thing going. Â Thrown into heroism with only the scarcest pieces of information handy, he's not as immediately successful as he might like, but ultimately finds out some interesting roads to getting to what some would arguably call success. Â There's nothing new that one can say about the stellar artwork of Russ Braun, Jose Marzan Jr., Andrew Peopy and Daniel Vozzo, who depict the face of a damsel in distress with such character on page 3, who capture Jack Frost with such gumption on page 14 and who tell the story so smoothly as if to seem effortless. Â
Nova #30
(Marvel Comics)
Jump from the Read Pile. Â Sure, some of the notes of space opera here may be a bit familiar, and yes, the name of a superbly dangerous gang of creatures may put you in the mind for either Soundgarden or Paul Anka ("... won't you come ..."), but this issue is a great balance between action scenes, character development (especially for the ancient centurion Philo as well as for the Worldmind and the nano-tech powered bounty hunter Monark Starstalker) and well-planned plot development. Â It puts a whole new spin on the Mindless Ones ("... a long time back someone ... don't ask me who ... found a way to enslave them things," said Philo in very fitting exposition. "They put gangs of 'em to work mining neutron stars 'cause they could stand the gravitational extremes"). Â Fascinating ideas, even if the "we haven't seen the last of him" card is played a little too easily. Â The star-spanning personal pathos for Richard Ryder was also a nice cliffhanger to use, and all around this issue was a pleasant uptick across the board in quality, as the series has hovered near the "good enough" line for months. Â
Stepping up to do the job, fantastic. Â Great comics all the way around.
Honorable Mentions: Stuff worth noting, even if it's not good enough to buy
"Dark Avengers: Ares" #1 was close to being "good enough," but for silly reasons. Â Drinking, shooting, blowing stuff up ... yeah, that's all good. Â However, this comic was high on speeches that'd make Denis Leary smile and low on actual plot or character development. Â Good for quotes, not so much for spending actual money.
"Die Hard Year One" #2 again set things up effectively, and it allowed the younger John McClane more of a chance to shine. Â But the entire yacht interlude seemed not to accomplish anything, and the chase scene with the girl seemed to drag things along a great deal. Â This might play out better had it not been serialized, or if it wasn't for sale. Â For free, like on TV, this would be awesome.
"Secret Warriors" #9 wasn't bad, even thought it was mostly fighting and running with Osborn's elite again taking it on the chin and Ares getting pretty upset. Â Which is rendered well artistically, but could have had more actually happening. Â
"Smallville: Secret Origin" #2 was a feel-good nostalgic remix of either "Birthright" or "Smallville" (depending on your personal predilections) giving the Legion another chance to meet Kal-El for the first time. Again. Which felt good, one would suppose, but would you replay the day you met that nice guy at work more than once? Â
The art style of "Guardians of the Galaxy" #19 didn't really serve it so well, as hugely important events flew by in small panels and with very little grandeur to them. Â A great transformational scene got played very briefly. Â Matters of great importance were happening, but you'd have to be careful, or you really could miss them. Â
There was an interesting emotional undercurrent in "Unknown Soldier" #13, where a refugee youth somehow latches himself on to the new man holding the killer's mantle, and it's not bad, but it spends a long time building up the supporting character and doesn't succeed in making him anybody worth really getting invested in. Â The grit and brutality of the lead character was still kind of interesting.
"Avengers: The Initiative" #29 had too much going on, as Trauma gets an interesting change in his life, Penance has none of the coolness and swagger of his limited series, Night Thrasher gets an unbelievable proposition and Taskmaster's suddenly the paradigm for competency. Â Remember when Deadpool kicked his butt by dancing? Â Yeah, not bad, per se, but not great.
"Hunter's Fortune" #1 was an interesting set up for another adaptation-ready story, a slacker inheriting the fortune and quest of a famous archaeologist. Â There's a number of stock characters here as well, but the dialogue's kind of cute and the art's okay, so it's at least worth checking out. Â
Doctor Gregory Stark is the best thing in "Ultimate Comics Avengers" #3, even though the Ultimate version of War Machine is cool and Nick Fury gets some good lines. Â The ultimate destruction of lots of property in a foreign capital, however, doesn't even advance the overarching storyline a little bit. Â
Finally, "X-Factor" #50 tied a lot of long-standing knots together, changing the perception of Layla Miller a great deal, giving a new spin to the story of Trevor Fitzroy and generally telling a very complex story ... that's reach exceeded its grasp. Really? With Doom and the power blasts going around and Jamie kind of fighting himself (again) and the metatextual references ... it was just a whole lot more than 22 pages could safely carry without cutting everybody like the budget for a California state park.
CORRECTION: Emails came in, noting that this issue was actually 32 pages, and not the 22 pages reported previously. We'd like to issue our sincerest apologies to fans and the creative team for misreporting this number. From a reviewing standpoint, however, if the content of 32 pages felt like it was 22 pages that were overpacked, this probably -- in truth -- should have been a 48 page issue. Still, sorry for the miscount.
The "Meh" Pile  Not good enough to praise, not bad enough to insult, not important enough to say much more than the title
"Tom Corbett, Space Cadet" #1, "Batman" #692, "Dynamo 5" #25, "Blackest Night" #4, "Eternal Conflicts of the Cosmic Warrior" #1, "Detective Comics" #858, "Hulk" #16, "Green Lantern" #47, "New Avengers" #58, "Justice Society of America" #32, "New Mutants" #6 (although Cipher's new "language skill" has some possibilities, but the rest of it wasn't working as well), "Superman" #693, "X-Factor" #50, "Teen Titans" #76, "War Machine" #10, "Wonder Woman" #37, "Punisher" #10, "Star Wars Legacy" #41 and "World's Finest" #1.
No, just ... no ... Â These comics? Â Not so much ...
"Ms. Marvel" #46 ended months of shooting and punching and flying around with a whiny, weak and makes Karla Sofen look like a complete loser. Â Truth be told, everybody looks pretty loserish here. Â Not a good look for anybody involved. Â
"Ambush Bug Year None" #7 was, bar none, one of the worst comics of the year. Â A lengthy and overbearing inside joke that features DC executive editor Dan Didio as not only a character but as the primary antagonist, and had as its best part the opening credits. Â If only the creative team had simply written, "We quit" to explain the lengthy delay on the issue coming out than to have done this shlock that insulted people in the industry and the fans at the same time. Â
The last pages of "Dark Reign: The List - Punisher" were dumber than when Frank Castle was an angel. Â Really. Â First of all, Norman Osborn needs to throw literally everybody in H.A.M.M.E.R. at killing one unpowered guy, and it's not exactly an overpowering victory. Â Again, nobody came out of this looking too impressive.
"Buck Rogers" #5 opened up something really, dangerously, overwhelmingly stupid. Â There's a force attacking and hungry for ... even talking about it would lower your IQ, but there's a surprise reveal that should really qualify this series -- which wasn't that bad -- to be taken off the shelves and burned. Â Even Twiki would be an improvement at this point. Â Wow.
Do you think the Sentry is tired of getting beaten up like a fifth grade girl? Â In "Dark Reign: Young Avengers" #5, he once again gets smacked around ... yeah, and given the cast, there aren't a lot of serious people here, so the idea that a guy with "the power of a billion exploding suns" shows up and things keep happening isn't a good sign for our pal Norman. Â
There's a little more support given to a disturbing rumor floating around the web in "Blackest Night: Titans" #3, as the heroes have virtually the same heart-wrenching experience that other DC heroes had in their crossover books. Â Maybe a little lamer. Â Yeah, that's probably right. Â
At the end of "Fantastic Four" #572, things from the perspective of most of the characters are exactly the same as they were several issues ago. Â That's the first sign that this is a bad comic book. Â Then you add the fact that some really crazy stuff happened -- infinity gauntlets, celestials, entropy weapons -- and none of it mattered even a little bit ... and this is a huge yawner. Â It's shocking that the mind-boggling talent of Jonathan Hickman created this travesty.Â
In the "oh no they didn't" category, "Gotham City Sirens" #5 takes on The Joker ... sort of. Â Let's just say that there's something from "Batman #186 reappears and ... well, it's dumb. Â Really, tragically dumb. Â Even insultingly dumb. Â Make it stop.
Remember that "Fantastic Four" issue from a while ago?  It's just two reviews back.  Anyway, "Marvel Divas" #4 had a similar problem -- at the end, nothing changed from the beginning.  Of the mini-series.  Also, Daimon Hellstrom is kind of an almost criminal pervy creep, Jericho Drumm is apparently afraid of said creep (lame) and there's almost none of the snark and charm that made the first issue such a guaranteed home run.  Admittedly, there was a nice application of craft, tying plot points together across multiple issues, but it wasn't enough by a long shot. Â
Ten "okay," nine "oh no" and a whole mountain of heavily DC-flavored "meh" in between. Â It's like a lameness sandwich. Â Oy.
Oh, and according to the shop, "Ultimate Comics Armor Wars" #2 was misprinted and recalled, so no telling what that was about. Â Coulda tipped the scales either way.
Despite reads that were not only arduous to get through and ultimately cancelled themselves out, the jumps carry the day and the week's a win. Â
Got a comic you think should be reviewed in The Buy Pile? Â If we get a PDF of a fairly normal length comic (i.e. "less than 64 pages") by no later than 24 hours before the actual issue arrives in stores (and sorry, we can only review comics people can go to stores and buy), we guarantee the work will get reviewed, if remembered. Â Physical comics? Â Geddouttahere. Â Too much drama to store with diminishing resources. Â If you send it in more than two days before comics come out, the possibility of it being forgotten increases exponentially.
There are now two official ways to get Hannibal Tabu's blog-related wisdom. Â For all personal things, there's Hannibal's relaunched Soapbox and for his views on the weird, wild world there's The Hundred and Four.
Oh, and before we forget, this week is almost the last chance to pre-order "The Untamed" from Stranger Comics, a dark fantasy story about how an unscrupulous man facing purgatory seeks vengeance against his enemies, yet he is conflicted with the hope of redemption and salvation in the eyes of his daughter. Â It's in Previews right now, pages 285 and 286 sku #OCT091072, and is beloved by both "Watchmen" producer Lloyd Levin ("What's not to love about Jones and Bertging's THE UNTAMED: it's a Sergio Leone, Frank Frazetta, William Blake fever dream mash-up. And that's just where it begins!") and master of horror Clive Barker ("THE UNTAMED promises to be an epic tale, conceived and crafted not only with a great love of comics, but also a profound understanding of the power of visionary storytelling"), as well as lauded by Comic Book Collectors' Blog. Â Check "The Untamed" out at strangercomics.com!
