If your phone is stock and not rooted try first pulling the battery and power it on and see if update resume, if it doesn't resume Hold the power button plus volumeup button at the same time while powering on to bring up recovery mode. If you rooted it ue NVflash or clockwork and bring it back to stock.
I had the same problem. I had to remove the battery. I know it's kinda scary but it will do it. just remove the battery and then plug it back in, and push the power button

CourtListener Adds 7,000 More Oral Arguments
The past week has been a busy one for us and we're excited to announce that thanks to a generous data donation we've added an additional 7,000 oral arguments to CourtListener. These files are available now and can already be searched, saved, and made into podcasts.
Although 7,000 more oral arguments may not sound like much, I must point out that these files are larger than your average MP3 and this has taken a week for our powerful server to download and prepare. Our collection now has more than 200 continuous days of listening – more than six months of audio.
From here on, we'll continue getting the latest oral arguments from the Federal Appeals courts that offer them but we are eager for more donations so we can build up our archive. Oyez.org is doing an incredible job with the Supreme Court (and we hope to integrate these eventually), but if you know somebody in the federal appellate courts or if you have a collection of oral arguments you'd like to share, please get in touch! We're eager to hear from you and to build the largest collection of oral arguments that we can.
Check Out CourtListener's New Paint and Features
It's really hard to overstate the incredible nature of the open source community, but if you head over to CourtListener, you'll find that between yesterday and today the entire website has been revamped. This was done over the past month by a volunteer developer who took time off work to give every single page in the entire site a fresh lick of paint.
On top of just plain looking better, the new site has a raft of improvements that we're excited about:
- The entire site from top to bottom can now be used from your phone, tablet or desktop. Complicated pages will do the right thing to adapt to smaller or bigger screens. (Yes, we now use bootstrap.)
- The accessibility of the site has been vastly improved for people with motility or vision difficulties. Over the next few days we'll continue rolling out improvements in this area that will trickle down even to keyboard-heavy users.
- Sharing pages on Facebook or Twitter and saving the site to your desktop on iOS, Android or Windows now works properly, with good titles, descriptions and meta data.
This post is supposed to be about the new version of the site, but I can't help but gush about the open source community and the smart people that it attracts. For our part, we did a little bit of deployment work and a few design sessions, but this developer came in, fixed every page of the site and then gave us a new and beautiful version. That's incredible and it's something that we could never do outside of the open source community. It was also particularly nice that, thanks to geographic proximity, we got to have two in-person sessions during the process.
This update makes CourtListener ready for the next several years and modernizes the way it looks so that it feels right regardless of if you visit on your phone, computer, Playstation, or whatever. With thousands of people visiting each day, we couldn't be more excited to provide this update.
Let us know what you think and if you're interested in helping build the next feature like this one, get in touch! There's always more work to do. We'd love to hear from you.
More Oral Argument News
We're happy to share three pieces of news about oral arguments at CourtListener.
First, the sixth circuit has begun putting oral argument audio on their website and we have begun dishing it up through CourtListener. We briefly spoke to the technology team at the court and their reaction to our questions about their system was, "Oh, is that on our website already?" So this is a very new development, even for them.
Right now their site has oral argument audio back to August 7th and we are in the process of grabbing this audio and putting it in our archive. Unfortunately, the case in the news right now that's blocking gay marriage in the circuit was argued one day prior to the oldest files they've posted, and so we don't have audio for that case, and possibly never will. This is one big reason we've wanted to get into oral arguments on CourtListener and why we've been supported with a grant from Columbia Library to do this work: This content is simply going dark as new content is published.
While we're happy to now be collecting data from the 6th Circuit, it's still disappointing that we don't have it from the Second, Tenth, or Eleventh Circuit, as they do not (yet) publish their oral argument audio. We simply have to hope that the content is being stored somewhere and that we'll get it eventually. (If you're reading this and have connections in those courts, we'd love to hear from you.)
A second piece of news is that we just added our 1,000th oral argument since beginning eight days ago! This is already more than 40GB of data — a harbinger of complex systems problems to come, but we're excited to be collecting so much so quickly and we hope you'll create some podcasts or alerts for what we have.
Our final piece of news today is that our oral argument podcasts are now available on Stitcher. If you have a smartphone and enjoy podcasts, simply search for CourtListener in the Stitcher app, and our podcasts will come right up.
Announcing Oral Arguments on CourtListener
We're very excited to announce that CourtListener is currently in the process of rolling out support for Oral Argument audio. This is a feature that we've wanted for at least four years — our name is CourtListener, after all — and one that will bring a raft of new features to the project. We already have about 500 oral arguments on the site, and we've got many more we'll be adding over the coming weeks.
For now we are getting oral argument audio in real time from ten federal appellate courts. As we get this audio, we are using it to power a number of features:
- Oral Argument files become immediately available in our search results.
- A podcast is automatically available for every jurisdiction we support and for any query that you can dream up. Want a custom podcast containing all of the 9th circuit arguments for a particular litigant? You got it.
- You can now get alerts for oral arguments so you can be sure that you keep up with the latest coming out of the courts.
- For developers, there are a number of new endpoints in both our REST API and our bulk data API for audio files.
- Using the Free Law Seal Rookery, we are enhancing the audio we find on court websites by adding album art and better meta data.
For now, search results and alerts are limited to the data that is provided by court websites, so you cannot (yet) get alerted any time somebody says a certain word in court. Audio is a new area for us though and we'd absolutely love to automatically create transcripts for the courts, enabling such a feature. This would be an incredibly powerful feature, so if you are an expert on audio transcription, we'd love to hear from you and to work together on this.
Beyond all of the great features we're rolling out today, oral argument data also marks an important turning point for the project because it lays the ground work for adding more types of data to CourtListener. It's been a large undertaking adding a second type of data to the project, but adding a third will be much easier. Next in our hopper will likely be the content from RECAP so that you can create alerts, have powerful APIs, and do all the other things you expect from CourtListener, except this time, for documents from PACER.
We're very excited about being able to provide oral argument data today and RECAP data tomorrow. We can't wait to see what kinds of legal research and innovation these new features bring.
Senator Leahy Wants PACER Documents Back Online
Last Friday, it was reported by the Washington Post and Ars Technica that Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy, had sent a letter to Judge Bates, the head of the Administrative Office of the Courts, urging the AOC to put back online the recently-removed PACER documents from five courts. I had not seen the full letter posted anywhere yet, so present it here:
Free Law Project agrees with Senator Leahy that taking these documents offline represents "a dramatic step backwards" and that the Courts' currently proposed work-around represents "a troubling increase in costs…" We hope the AOC will be open to restoring online access to these documents and stand ready to help make these documents freely available online for the public were that agreeable to the AOC.
Free Law Project Founders Guests on "This Week in Law" Webcast
Brian and I were guests this week on the live Internet show, This Week in Law on the Twit Network. In the show we cover a number of topics ranging from the history of Free Law Project and the need for innovation in the legal arena to the copyright and trademark issues in the latest Deadmou5 brouhaha.
Also available on YouTube. We hope you'll enjoy watching.
The Importance of Backups
At least since the destruction of the Ancient Library of Alexandria, the world has known the importance of having a backup. The RECAP archive of documents from PACER is a partial backup of documents taken offline by five federal courts. It is impossible to determine how complete a backup we have, because the problem with missing documents is that you cannot even determine that they are missing without a complete list of what used to be available. No such lists exist for the documents from these five courts.
But as coverage of this surprising and unprecedented action by PACER officials continues (see techdirt), the BBC has an article that takes an interesting approach by pointing out some of the landmark civil rights cases taken off PACER through this action.
The BBC mentions the case Ricci v. DeStefano which was decided at the Second Circuit while Sonia Sotomayor was a Circuit Judge. Sotomayor, now a Supreme Court Justice, had her role in deciding the case closely scrutinized during her Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Many who dug in to Sotomayor's background during those hearings likely relied on the documents available via PACER related to this and other cases she decided. What will happen when the next individual from the Second, Seventh, Eleventh, or Federal Circuit, is nominated for higher office? Unless PACER officials make some accommodation, such as the one we asked for yesterday, researchers and the public will face the daunting task of requesting these materials individually, possibly in person, at excessive expense and inconvenience for everyone involved.
And as I told Common Dreams, the Administrative Office of the Courts ("AOC") cannot argue that some of these cases have been closed for "13 years." Some were closed this year! They also cannot argue that "many had not been accessed in several years" because as we demonstrated in a recent video, it can be very difficult and expensive to use PACER. Thus, PACER usage statistics should tell us nothing about the importance of these files. And often, as was the situation with Judge Sotomayor's historical record, some cases only become particularly interesting years later and for reasons possibly unrelated to the case itself.
Put another way, libraries should hang on to their copy of Plato's Crito, even if its been a few years since anyone checked it out.
This PACER situation presses home more than ever the importance of having a backup. Many critics of the PACER system were dissatisfied with many aspects of the AOC's custodianship of America's judicial record, but no critic ever thought that after so much work to move to online electronic records, we would return to an offline system of access to court records. If we now cannot even count on the courts to keep the electronic records online, even if behind a byzantine paywall, then we really must insist on a backup.
Free Law Project Joins Request for Access to Offline PACER Documents
A recent announcement on the federal PACER website indicated that PACER documents from five courts prior to certain dates (pre-2010 for two courts, pre-2012 for one court, etc.) would no longer be available on PACER. The announcement was reported widely by news organizations, including the Washington Post and Ars Technica. The announcement has now been changed to explain, "As a result of these architectural changes, the locally developed legacy case management systems in the five courts listed below are now incompatible with PACER; therefore, the judiciary is no longer able to provide electronic access to the closed cases on those systems." See a screenshot of the earlier announcement without this explanation:
This morning, Free Law Project signed on to five letters from the non-profit, Public.Resource.Org, headed by Carl Malamud, asking the Chief Judge of each of these five courts to provide us with access to these newly offline documents. The letter proposes that we be provided access in order to conduct privacy research, particularly with respect to the presence of social security numbers in court records, as Public.Resource.Org has done previously in several contexts. In addition we offer to host all the documents in a free public archive, at the Internet Archive, as we do now with RECAP documents. Free Law Project would also plan, ultimately, to incorporate the documents into our CourtListener platform, for even easier full-text searching and public accessibility.
The National Law Journal collected various tweets from lawyers and academics upset over the PACER announcement, and the general reaction to the surprise decision has been dismay, as many of these practitioners and professors rely on these documents for their work. We hope the Chief Judges we have reached out to today will agree to our request and allow us to get these documents back online for the public as soon as possible.
Using PACER: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
If you only watch one video about using the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, make it this video by Free Law Project's Brian Carver: "Using PACER: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"
The video provides a demonstration of what a regular member of the public might experience trying to find a copy of a recent newsworthy federal district court opinion on the court's website and through the federal PACER system. This example was genuinely chosen because Brian himself had heard about a recent newsworthy case out of the District Court for the District of Maryland. In fact, we're fairly sure that other examples might cast these sites in an even worse light.
Free Law Project believes that Congress should provide adequate funding to the federal courts so that the financial argument for PACER's fees would be moot and everyone could agree that public access to court records should be free. But even in the absence of that, we conclude from this demonstration that the non-document related fees in PACER for search results and reports that are charged without an interstitial warning of their magnitude are particularly onerous and should be abolished. The courts could take this step immediately, while continuing to charge for actual court documents by the page, and a major obstacle to public access would be removed. Of course the video demo also illustrates a number of usability concerns that we think are best resolved by allowing third parties, such as Free Law Project, to build better search and access tools on top of these documents, but this is only feasible if at least these third parties are given free or very low cost bulk access to the underlying documents. We hope the Administrative Office of the Courts will be open to such options.
We recommend watching the video Full Screen and/or in High Definition so that the slides are readable.
CourtListener and Juriscraper Now Support All State Courts of Last Resort!
In 2010, we wrote our first scraper. It was a nasty affair that could do nothing more than download PDFs from a webpage — any webpage. Since that point, we've come a long way and today we're extremely excited to announce that the Juriscraper library now supports every state court of last resort. In most states this is the "Supreme Court", though some states call their highest court the "Court of Appeals" or similar.
This means that no matter what jurisdiction interests you, no matter what area of the law you work in, you can follow the works of your state's highest court in real time, getting emails or RSS feeds of the latest cases that interest you. And, of course, as new opinions are issued by these courts, we will keep adding them to our system, continuing to build the biggest repository of cases we can. As of today, Juriscraper has collected more than 400,000 opinions, and we expect that number to grow and grow.
On top of this, we also support dozens of intermediate State appellate courts and all of the federal courts of appeals. Check our list to see if a specific court is supported and let us know if there's one we should add — user requests are often how we prioritize our work! There are already a few administrative bodies and other specialized courts that we plan to add soon.
Completing our appellate court coverage is a milestone we've been working towards for a very long time, and we could never have gotten here without lots of support, both financial and social. The following people have contributed code, presentations and time to help get Juriscraper where it is today (let me know if I forgot you!):
- Asadullah Baig
- Brian Carver
- Ben Cassedy
- Andrei Chelaru
- Alan deLevie
- Bo Jin (Krist)
- Deb Linton
- Andrew McConachie
- Matt Meiske
- Taliah B. Mirmalek
- Polya Pelova
- Raymond Yee
- David Zvenyach
And the following organizations have provided generous support for this project:
Thank you all very much for the great work you've done and the support you've provided. We now have a complete and free system for efficiently gathering opinions from state courts of last resort.
This is truly a momentous day and you might be wondering what's next for Juriscraper. The first thing we've begun doing already is to collect oral argument audio. An important feature of Juriscraper's design is modularity and after a few minor re-workings, the code is now well-positioned to archive more than just court opinions. We are currently working on expanding Juriscraper's reach to audio files and we soon expect to build an archive of oral arguments.
Beyond this, Juriscraper's design allows it to be easily turned to other document types or jurisdictions entirely. We have long thought that we'd also like to archive open access law journal articles and incorporate those into CourtListener. (Get in touch if you'd like to help!) Or you might have some entirely different archiving project in mind, the Juriscraper code can take much of the heavy lifting out of your way and allow you to focus on the unique aspects of the documents you're hoping to archive. If you put the code to some such alternative use, please get in touch to let us know!

Through their lawyer, Attorney Richard Lehmann of Douglas, Leonard, and Garvey in Concord, Todd and Cynthia Westfall of Bridgewater issued a statement supporting their daughter, Janelle Westfall, a Colby-Sawyer College student.
"We are extremely proud of Janelle's courage in coming forward during such a frightening situation," they said in the statement. "Her concern from the beginning was to prevent this from happening to others."
Seastrand resigned on April 4 as part of a negotiated agreement with the Attorney General's Office after an investigation into his actions on March 6, the day that Janelle Westfall claims he asked her to pose nude for photos in exchange for having her charges dropped.
Westfall was arrested for underage alcohol possession and giving a false name to police, according to her lawyer, who said he will be filing a civil suit on her behalf against the chief in the days ahead.
Seastrand, 50, who had announced his retirement to the town on April 1 without giving a reason, has not spoken publicly since his departure from town, where he served as chief since 1995 and was a police officer since 1986.
His attorney, Nicholas Brodich of Tarbell and Brodich in Concord, has said his client does not want to "try" the case alleged by Westfall in the news media, and said Seastrand would not speak on the matter at present.
The Attorney General's Office said at least four women have come forward since Seastrand's resignation with complaints about his conduct, and authorities are now investigating those claims.
On April 5, with full knowledge of news accounts of the attorney general's investigation and Seastrand's resignation, the town's selectmen issued a public statement of support for Seastrand.
"Chief Seastrand has indicated that due to an investigation undertaken by the state Attorney General's Office, he is unable to give his full focus to his duties as chief . The selectmen reiterate their strong support for Chief Seastrand and appreciation for his service to the town of New London for the past 27 years," the statement said.
In their statement Thursday, Westfall's parents were thankful for support their daughter has received.
"We are thankful for the support she is receiving from the great number of those that know, love and respect her as well as from a great number of strangers from across the country.
They said their daughter was home-schooled for five years through the accredited Central Christian Academy where she graduated with a 4.0 grade point average. "Over the years she had the opportunity to volunteer many times in her community working with young children," they said.

Alaska fly fishing final days are bittersweet.
The atmosphere is changing. The sun is low in the sky, casting golden light. The days are shortening. The air is chilling. Leaves are falling. Swans are trumpeting, Wolves are howling. Moose are sparing. The views are achingly beautiful. The longing to reunite with family and friends is a constant ache. The body is tiring…
and some of the best fishing of the year is happening.
The trout are as fat and feisty as they can get.
The final mornings are frosty and full of anticipation.
The sunrise is a welcome promise of warmth.
The rainbows are spectacular.
The camaraderie on the river is like nowhere else.
A fine cigar is a treat.
Fat chrome silver salmon are a gift.
Fresh Salmon Sashimi with a side of Bluefin Tuna caps off an incredible Alaska fly fishing final day.
On final days mornings, when I roll out and its dark and cold and raining or snowing, I feel like that Dunkin Donuts guy from the 1984 commercial. Time to make the donuts.
But soon, I'm back on the oars; going with the flow and in my rightful place, sharing the joy of spectacular fall Alaska fly fishing final days.
Snow adds to the magic of final days.
While the river never goes to sleep, the pace is slowing down.
A final late season outing with friends is a testament to why we are here. Fishing in this place is really fun.
The beer stays cold just sitting in the boat.
A fish rolled. Lines were cast. Lines were crossed. A fish took a fly. Then another. It was chaos. There was shouting, There was laughter. There were gyrations by anglers and fish. You had to be there.
A final hour of swinging before sunset yields one more powerful rainbow.
You only have one chance to make a first presentation on your Alaska Fly Fishing Final Day.
It was another fulfilling season…on spectacular waters…shared with exceptional people…creating lifetime memories.

McCain: No American needs an assault rifle
The issue of gun control in America has taken center stage after Friday's mass shooting in a Connecticut elementary school.
At the forefront of that debate is the question of semi-automatic assault rifles in the United States and their availability. Meghan McCain, a Republican and National Rifle Association member, said she thinks Americans don't need access to this type of weapon.
"I'm a Second Amendment right supporter, but I think if anything, we really need to start really analyzing gun control options," "I just don't believe that any person should have access to a [semi-automatic] assault rifle," she told News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Mac & Gaydos on Tuesday.
McCain said a screening period could be the solution gun control advocates are looking for.
"I've never understood why people have problems with a two-week screening to buy any kind of gun. To me, I don't understand the logic in just someone being able to walk into a store and buy a gun immediately."

I've been searching for an affordable gray maxi coat for what seems like an eternity and this is as close as I've come. Wore it to the movies yesterday and I'm pretty much satisfied with the looser silhouette. It was very dark outside, when we shot these pictures and then I had to pull them to the light side of the force using Photoshop, so the pics definitely don't do it justice :)
And notice the silver shoes, I've had them for a while and what strikes me is the way they work with an outfit when no other color works. I have to admit I used to be skeptical about metallics but now I'm completely sold.
I'm wearing:
Gray coat - Sheinside
Cropped sweater - AXparis
Silver boots - Chicwish (cool ones here)
Bag - Marc Jacobs

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Detroit Tigers outfielder Andy Dirks is expected to miss three months because of a back problem that requires surgery.
General manager Dave Dombrowski says the 28-year-old Dirks will have surgery Monday. Dirks was expected to share the left field spot with Rajai Davis, whom the Tigers signed in the offseason.
Dirks hit .256 with nine home runs in 131 games last year. He hit .322 in 2012.
Dombrowski says Dirks has dealt with back issues since high school, but the problem was bothering him more in recent days. The team had him checked out by a specialist Tuesday and found out the diagnosis.

This portrait of reggae giant Bob Marley was done as a thank you gift for a friend who brought me a roll of discarded fine thread canvas. My friend Samuel works as a handyman and, occasionally, he gets to collect items that house owners no longer value. I asked him what I could do in exchange, and he jokingly asked me to do a portrait of Bob Marley, who he admires greatly. I did not take it as a joke, though, and made this 18″ x 18″ picture for him.
Called "a messenger of hope", Bob Marley lived to move others through his music to change things for the better. In this painting I evoke his energy and joy of living for his art and his beliefs. My portrait had to have a meaningful painterly quality, and with that in mind, I worked with bold contrasts, heavy strokes and broken pigmentation. I use a round pointed stylus to scratch the surface while the pigment (acrylic with medium) is still wet on the canvas.

About eight years ago I made these replicas from the wall paintings of the magnificent tomb of Queen Nefertari, Great Royal Wife of Ramses the Second of Egypt. The paintings are done in acrylics on prime quality heavy watercolor paper.
Ramses the Great had a total of eight Royal Wives, but no doubt Nefertari was her most beloved. Nefer means beautiful in ancient Egyptian, and she is thus portrayed in all statues and painted reliefs. Crowned by Isis and Hathor, an equal in the company of the great deities of Egypt, she is presented to us as a beautiful deified mortal, her delicate body draped in the finest sheer linen, rich jewelry, wide gold collar and bracelets, wearing the two long feathers over the vulture headdress of gold, her soft pale facial features accentuated by makeup and framed by her abundant dark hair.
If Ramses the Second had many royal epithets, so did his Great Wife – "Lady of the Two Lands", "Great of Praise", "Sweet of Love" "Lady of Charm" and Nefertari Merit-en-Mut, meaning "The Lovely One, Beloved of Mut."
Copyright 2014 Painting Replica by Ben Morales-Correa
The tomb of Nefertari, QV66 is the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Poor quality limestone prevented the workmen from carving directly into the rock walls. Instead, a thick layer of plaster was applied, carved and then painted. The paintings depict Nefertari's journey after death to the afterlife, guided by various spirits and deities, including Isis, Re, Hathor, Anubis and Osiris.
My original paintings are not for sale, but you can obtain museum quality reproductions of these and other ancient egyptian art at Fine Art America.

Disclosure and Discretion in Roman Astrology: Manilius and his Augustan Contemporaries
The Patriot, a fictional 2000 American historical war film, depicts the story of Benjamin Martin, from rural York County, South Carolina, an American swept into the American Revolutionary War when his family is threatened.
Benjamin Martin is a man seeking to live his life in peace until revenge drives him to lead a cause after the life of an innocent family member is taken.
The musical score for The Patriot was composed by John Williams and was nominated for an Academy Award.
The Patriot received mildly favorable reviews from critics. Jamie Malanowski, writing in The New York Times, said The Patriot "will prove to many a satisfying way to spend a summer evening. It's got big battles and wrenching hand-to-hand combat, a courageous but conflicted hero and a dastardly and totally guilt-free villain, thrills, tenderness, sorrow, rage and a little bit of kissing".
The producers debated on whether Benjamin Martin would own slaves, ultimately deciding not to make him a slave owner. This decision received criticism from Spike Lee, who in a letter to The Hollywood Reporter accused the film's portrayal of slavery as being "a complete whitewashing of history". Mel Gibson himself remarked: "I think I would have made him a slave holder. Not to seems kind of a cop-out".
- Excerpted from Wikipedia
In the movie Toy Story, Woody characterizes Buzz Lightyear's flying demonstration as "falling with style". Of course Buzz can't fly, but he manages to fool himself and the other toys into believing he can actually take command of the air space, soar and direct his actions. Later on, poor Buzz Lightyear crashes with the realization he is "not a flying toy".
There are many artists today, poorly trained in drawing, that are very good at "doodling with style". Like Buzz, they impress others with their personal manner and often fool themselves into thinking they can draw well.
Drawing is a highly complex set of skills that are acquired through education, training, imitation and practice. Nowadays, many art schools don't focus on drawing, preferring to deliver a more marketable art offering with an entertaining "creative" approach. It's fun to play, and if we come up with visual pieces interesting in their unusualness, that is fine. Yet, there is a difference in the quality of an abstract or a highly "stylized" work of art done by an artist who can draw realistically and one who doesn't.
I question sometimes if I'm really that good as I take myself to be or if I too use my personal traits as an excuse for bad drawing. Here are some portraits done with Ebony Jet Black pencil on multipurpose drawing / sketch paper. They are rendered using the traditional cross hatching technique of light and shadow.
I'm proud to say that Puerto Rico is a truly beautiful island. It has a wide variety of flora and topography in just 100 by 35 miles of tropical paradise.
The mountain region of San Lorenzo in the central southeast is especially attractive for meditation and communion with nature.
That's what I did yesterday with my yoga friends at a retreat organized by the Centro Yoga Devanand. I want to share with you some pictures and a pencil study of a panoramic view from the retreat center.
I'm on my fourth day of my fundraising campaign on Indiegogo. It is a great experience so far. I'm proud to say that I've raised $745, a surprise I must admit, because I'm not used to rush my way to success, so to speak.
As far as networking goes, it has also been productive. A former client called to congratulate me and asked me to design and publish his new website.
I know there are a number of factors that make it possible for the support I'm getting to work on my Flamencas art exhibition project. First, the art work is good. Not that I want to brag about it. What I mean to say is that I'm devoting much effort to make each piece the best possible and unique within the context of the exhibition. The great Michelangelo once said that if people knew how much effort he has put into his creations, they wouldn't seem so wonderful at all. That statement is very inspiring to me. It keeps me right on track.
It's not only a matter of creating art to the best of your abilities, though. One must have a firm conviction in the value of one's own work to be able to communicate it to others. Sounds easy, but, really, it's not. Fellow artists and all types of creative people know what I'm talking about.
There is a scene in a movie, unfortunately I don't recall its title, maybe some reader can tell me, in which two men, a creative guy and his friend sit on a park bench to have a conversation. The friend says something along the line "You know what the trouble is with you people? You are like slugs, always wanting to leave a trail."
Funny but true.
Please continue your support and may you have an awesome day.

Records requests increase Crestwood's '13 legal fees
Former alderman submitted multiple requests for records
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
January 01, 2014 -
Attorney fees of more than $5,000 in a three-month period for reviewing records requested under state law sparked debate at the last Crestwood Board of Aldermen meeting.
City Administrator Mark Sime told aldermen the city had "an extraordinary amount of legal bills" for 2013, including $5,600 to $5,700 to review documents requested under the Missouri Open Meetings and Records Act, also called the Sunshine Law.
The city incurred those legal costs due to Sunshine Law requests in August, September and October, according to Sime.
"... The city needs to go through all of those and when that happens on multiple occasions, the costs add up," he said. "And then once the city attorney reviews those and redacts them, then they also print them out then again, for us to give to the person making the records request ..."
Of the additional costs incurred for Sunshine Law requests, former Ward 4 Alderman Steve Nieder asked Sime, "...That's just legal costs only?"
Sime replied, "Legal costs only."
Nieder said, "It doesn't take into account the time that was spent by staff to pull them out, file them, et cetera, et cetera?"
Sime said, "That's correct ... Because of the state that our IT (Information Technology) Department was in, we were not able to do a quick or accurate pull or search of emails. So we didn't feel that we could pass on any costs for that to the people making the records request ...
"We didn't charge that even though it took many hours for the staff to go through and pull out the appropriate emails or other records as well ..."
When asked by Nieder if many people had sought records, Sime said the "biggest requests" were made by one person. Sunshine Law request forms obtained by the Call show former Ward 4 Alderman Deborah Beezley made multiple requests during the time period Sime mentioned. Some of the records requested by Beezley include:
A list of attorney's fees for the past six months.
Times the city administrator has been out of the office from his start date until present.
Salaries for the city's elected officials.
Letter offering the city administrator his position and any agreement specifications.
All emails to and from Mayor Jeff Schlink from January to August.
Local media outlets and other residents also made requests during that time period.
"... I hope we don't have this in the future, and if we do, I hope we plan on charging that if it happens to be one person again ...," Nieder said.
City Clerk Tina Flowers, who serves as the city's custodian of records, later told the board the city "typically does charge for records requests, especially something of that magnitude, but because there were significant deficiencies within the IT Department, as the custodian of records I was not comfortable charging anybody for those records.
"... It's not for the city to get rich on records requests," she said. "We try to make the information as available to the residents as possible ... If it's a significant amount of work that's going to be placed on city staff, those individuals (making the request) will be charged. We very seldom have those types of things ..."
Requesters can be charged up to 10 cents per page, according to Flowers. Any other additional costs to requesters would include staff time at a clerical rate and, for example, the cost of reproducing a set of public works plans, she said.
Sime said the plan is to work with the city's new IT provider, Throttlenet, to set up a system that will store emails, which can then be searched and filed.
"... We have none in place right now for archiving, storage, search and filing of our email system," he said. "So that will be a very simple task to go in and put in the parameters that we want to search for specific emails and pull them out and, at that point, we feel that we should be able to charge, but again ... the cost is for a low-level staffer to do the work, not the people who are actually doing the work right now."
Former Ward 3 Alderman Gregg Roby later questioned why it is an issue if a "tremendous amount of paperwork" was pulled, but the requester was not charged.
"That person's entitled to that information. All of a sudden we want to single them out?" he said. "So is it going to be our intent now that any time someone comes up and files a request for Sunshine information that we're going to reveal their name to whoever wants it? ... If that's the case, then I'd like to have a copy of Sunshine requests from everybody that's requested something anytime in 2013 ..."
Roby said that tells the public that if a person requests information from the city and "if somebody doesn't like that, we're going to reveal your name. And if we forget to charge you for (your request), then it's going to be something that we're going to make public and say, 'Well, you cost us $5,000,' and so now it becomes a big issue. I just think it's wrong."
However, Flowers later said she did not forget to charge the person who made the request resulting in the legal costs.
"As the custodian, if I'm aware that there's some significant deficiencies within a department and somebody asks for a records request ... I do not feel comfortable charging somebody," she said. "I don't think that that's fair. I don't think it's in the best interest of the individual that's requesting them ..."
Ward 1 Alderman Darryl Wallach agreed with Roby's comments, saying, "... I think he's right on. I'm concerned about that, so that may be something that we need to vote into an ordinance in the near future to address ..."
Such a provision would protect "the integrity of the person" making a request for records, he added.
City Attorney Lisa Stump said, "... Any sort of ordinance that you would want to consider would have to still be consistent with the Sunshine Law ..."
"... I just want to make sure from the city's standpoint, the city attorney's standpoint, again that's something within Sunshine Law rights that we need to produce," Wallach said.
But Stump said Sunshine Law request forms would have to be made available if requested by someone.
Ward 2 Alderman Tim Trueblood reminded the board that the cost being addressed was for attorney fees — "making sure that what is released to the public fits within the law. So we're not punishing anybody ... We're incurring a legal cost because of this person's request, which is well within their rights. They're not required to pay the legal costs the city has to incur because of their requests. So I don't understand what the problem is ... It's a legal cost issue that we're dealing with."

Free Internet is coming from one of the oldest players in the freemium business.
This one comes from Net Zero, which used to offer free dial-up before broadband became available. With their 4G mobile broadband offering, you either buy a portable 4G USB modem for $50 or a portable 4G hotspot for $100.
Once you purchase the device, you get a free 200 MB per month. That effectively limits you to light web surfing, no video and no audio; just basic email and surfing.
If you want more data, you can pay $10 a month and then you'll get 500 MB. So if you avoid video and music, you should be covered for a whole month for either zero dollars or $10 a month. Again, either plan will really only allow you to do emailing and light web surfing.
As for me, I currently pay $30 a month to my cell phone provider for the ability to turn my cell phone into a hotspot. But I have a ceiling of 5 GB, so I will discontinue it and go to Net Zero and start with the zero dollar offer to see if that gets me by. I expect it will be especially useful if I'm at a hotel or airport that charges for wifi. I may go to the $10 plan if necessary.
The Net Zero deal is good for 12 months only and then you'll have to upgrade to the pay service.
For somebody who travels a lot and sets up their own hotspot all the time, you probably won't find this Net Zero offer useful because it won't give you a robust Internet experience. But for many other people, it might suffice. As long as you can avoid Netflix, YouTube and listening to your music, you'll be just fine at zero to $10 per month.
That's a cheap deal!
