Just Because: The Beautiful Girard-Perregaux 1966 Minute Repeater In Action
Late last year, Girard-Perregaux introduced us to their new HAWK line of watches in sunny South Beach. While we were there, they were kind enough to bust out a few other gems they had brought along. One watch in particular caught my attention, the 1966 Minute Repeater. And I definitely couldn't let it get away without a ring or two. Luckily my camera was ready to capture everything.

A HAT-TRICK to Casterton's Matt Killey was just what the doctor ordered to destroy Edenhope's middle-order and its hopes of taking part in the Casterton and District Cricket Association's senior final next Saturday.
A 57- run win to Casterton over Edenhope and a 135-run victory to Pigeon Ponds over Wando Vale have resulted in another Pigeon Ponds – Casterton final.
In a game of fluctuating fortunes at Edenhope, Casterton recovered from a precarious 5-72 to set up a competitive first innings total of 234. In its chase for the victory target, Edenhope seemed to be cruising at 2-118 until the Killey brothers struck.
Rick Killey had Will Smith caught at mid-wicket by Damian Wombwell for 56 and 22 runs later, four Edenhope wickets fell with the total at 140. Matt Killey had Alan McIntyre caught in the gully from the last ball of his ninth over for 33 and then bowled Ben McIntyre and Hugh Caldow from the first two balls of his 10th over.
The damage was done and Edenhope never recovered to be all out for 177 in 50 overs. At Pigeon Ponds, it was a day for the bowlers with Wando Vale's Troy O'Connell and LIONEL Balzan picking up four wickets each in a Pigeon Ponds first innings of 181.

29th April, 1926
Dear Mr. Bruce,
In my last letter to you I described a talk with Mr. T. Johnston [1], M. P. The thing that struck me as being the most significant was the impression which his Indian visit made upon Johnston. He is a puritanical fellow, of the stuff the Scottish covenanters were made of and certain things in India horrified him: the blatant avowedness of prostitution under British rule:
the failure to make primary education more general. On balance, however, as a Britisher, even if of the left wing of labour, he felt that he had more to be proud of than ashamed over British rule in India.
He described the Swaraj party as being utterly incompetent and reactionary and said that the idea of India-a nation was absurd at the present time.
I feel sure that this information (which is for you personally) will interest you.
I enclose copy of a letter which I sent to the 'Times' on this subject and also a schedule of the figures upon which I based my letter.
I did not sign the letter as I felt it was trenching upon the question of domestic protection. I think it may be of some use in spreading the idea of the value of Empire Markets. [2]
I enclose the VII article from the 'Times Trade Supplement' on this subject. [3]
Mr. W. T. Layton, the Editor of the 'Economist', has published two articles in the 'Manchester Guardian' which I enclose. I also enclose a copy of a signed letter which I have just sent to the 'Manchester Guardian' answering Layton which, I hope, the 'Manchester Guardian' will publish. As my letter is a fairly useful statement of the opposite side of the case, it is more than possible that the 'Manchester Guardian' will suppress it, although this paper is far fairer to its fiscal opponents than the other Liberal Free Trade papers. I would suggest that you read Layton's articles carefully. He will be one of the British representatives on the International Economic Conference at Geneva. He is a recognised force on the Free Trade side and I should imagine represents pretty well the British Treasury point of View. [4]
I enclose some interesting Parliamentary questions and answers.
So far, the Australian apple season illustrates most of the points to which the Imperial Economic Committee draw attention in the Fruit Report.
The fruit is arriving in very large quantities with no attempt being made to regulate the quantitites placed on each market. I understand that this week four steamers are discharging Australian apples at Hull alone! It is no one's business to place a portion in cold storage and, as a result, prices have collapsed in a most unfortunate way. This is illustrating the truth of the saying that without 'orderly marketing' a bounteous crop is a curse to the producer.
The Imperial Economic Committee says, in effect, 'you producers cannot expect satisfactory results unless you are prepared to (a) organize (b) have effective representation in the United Kingdom to control the distribution of your fruit'. The present average price of Australian apples is, I suppose, 9/- per case: with proper regulation and attention to quality, it would be anything from 12/- to 14/- per case-the difference between profit and loss.
Unfortunately all is not well with the quality of the fruit. I received a letter yesterday from Sir Algernon Firth, a copy of which I enclose, and to which I would direct your special attention. Firth was for five years the Chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce. He is a most zealous Imperialist, and, as you know, is the Senior Member of the British representation on the Imperial Economic Committee.
It is most essential that the producer and the Government inspectors in Australia should realise that all the money spent on publicity will be wasted, every attempt to establish Voluntary Preference will be in vain, unless the goods sent here are of good quality, well packed and carefully graded. I cannot exaggerate the importance of continual insistence upon this point. Firth's letter is so clear that you may find it useful in pressing this point home.
I had half an hour with Mr. Amery this morning. My main purpose was to put before him Tom Johnston's ideas as to the value of Labour Members of Parliament visiting parts of the Empire in the next twelve months. Mr. Amery was very interested and proposes to review the Colonies to which delegations could usefully be sent. I found that Mr. Amery considered the Fruit Report of the Imperial Economic Committee as a great advance on the previous reports. He told me that the Empire Marketing Board is held up owing to the Civil Servant, whom he has selected to act as Secretary, being temporarily engaged in the Coal negotiations. Amery hopes to hold a first meeting about May 12th.
From our point of view the Budget is not of very special interest.
The only point that Amery was able to secure was the stabilization of preference for a period of ten years. This is, of course, a move in the right direction but cannot be of any substantial advantage to Australia except perhaps in fixing the 4/- per gallon preference on sweet wine. It will be invaluable to the Empire tobacco grower for the preference on tobacco is greater than the intrinsic value of the raw tobacco itself. I wonder whether there is any chance of a substantial development of the tobacco industry in Australia.
In the discussions on the budget, Commander Hilton Young [6] made two excellent Imperial points. One was that Trade facilities should be confined to Empire Development and the other was a summing up of the situation in a thoroughly satisfactory manner so far as I am concerned. If you do not read the speech in the Hansard, please read the four marked sentences in the extract which I enclose.
I enclose a copy of an interview with Sir James Cooper [7] published the 'Imperial Food Journal'.
Yours sincerely, F. L. MCDOUGALL

Examination Essay Questions - Feburary 2003
QUESTION I was a "Multistate Performance Test" (MPT) and is not answered
1. What factors should be considered in evaluating the request? What position should you take? Why?
Your assignment is to advise Tommy in the exercise of his fiduciary duty as trustee.
Because Tommy is currently serving, and the trust was established under Danny's will, there can be no doubt about the validity of the trust: it was "established" by the probate court as part of the process of settling Danny's probate estate, and its administration is subject to the ongoing jurisdiction of the probate court for the district where Danny resided at the time of his death. That may or may not have been in Addison County, the residence of Erin and Fred.
In analyzing the request of Erin and Fred, the current beneficiaries, the main issue is to determine the intent of Danny, the testator, as reflected in the terms of his will, and whether there remains to be accomplished a material purpose of the trust. Under the statement of facts as presented, because the youngest child has graduated from college and entered the job market, and because under the terms of the will Tommy is granted the discretion to determine when that purpose has been accomplished, the education condition of the trust probably has been satisfied. However, you might be concerned with possible ambiguities in the will, which might raise issues such as the possibility that Erin and Fred might have more children (natural or adopted), or that the current children may seek later to continue their education at the graduate level or as a part of a career change.
On behalf of Tommy, you should consider whether termination of the trust would be in accordance with Tommy's fiduciary duty to all of the trust's beneficiaries, present and future, and whether the distribution of the entire trust corpus at one time would be in furtherance of Tommy's intention. It may be necessary to ascertain more facts to properly evaluate the request (e.g. , the size of the trust, the amount of income it generates, the costs of administration, other resources that may or may not be available to Erin and Fred, their current circumstances and financial situation. What financial issues facing Erin and Fred led to the request? Has their situation changed drastically since the time that the will was signed? Did Danny intend that the trust be a spendthrift and/or support trust?)
Equally as important is to determine whether the consents of Erin's and Fred's children were fully informed (do they need their own counsel?), and whether they are legally sufficient. Your legal analysis on behalf of Tommy should include consideration of whether the trust can be terminated even with the consent of all persons currently interested. Have the rights of Erin and Fred's children vested? What of the possibility that they might have other or future children? Does the trust as drafted violate the Rule Against Perpetuities and, if so, what are the implications?
Although the English and minority rules might permit distribution with the informed consent of all persons currently interested in the trust, the best advice to Tommy probably is to deny the request, because one of Danny's major goals – lifetime support of Erin and Fred – remains to be accomplished. The issue of other or future-born issue also raises the possibility of liability of Tommy to those persons.
2. What concerns arise if Tommy Trustee complies? If he agrees with the request, how should he proceed?
If the decision is to grant the request, Tommy should be counseled to file a petition or motion to terminate the trust with the probate court that has jurisdiction over the trust. The consents of all interested persons should be filed, and/or notice given to any who do not consent, in accordance with the Vermont Rule of Probate Procedure. If the Court grants the petition, a final account would have to be filed and income tax clearances would have to be obtained from the Vermont Department of Taxes. The Court then would issue an order of distribution. The assets then could be distributed, receipts obtained, and a closing report filed. As part of the process, and perhaps included with the consents to be filed, Tommy would be well advised to obtain releases from all of the interested persons.
3. If he refuses to comply, what is Erin and Fred's recourse? What avenues are available to them?
If Tommy refuses the request, based on your advice or otherwise, the process to be followed by Erin and Fred in contesting that decision would be similar: through their own counsel, they could file a motion to terminate the trust, with notice to be given to the Trustee and the other interested parties. In the alternative, Fred and Erin could file a petition in Probate Court to remove Tommy as the trustee and to replace him with another trustee, who might be more willing to terminate the trust as they have requested. In order to prevail on that claim, however, Erin and Fred would have to prove that Tommy had breached his fiduciary duties, which does not appear to have much likelihood of success given the facts of this case and the discretion vested in Tommy by the terms of the will.
Either party could appeal the ruling of the
Probate Court to the Superior Court in the County in which it is located,
and then to the Supreme Court.
1. Identify the court or courts in which you could file a suit against Durable Locomotives, and state the basis for subject-matter jurisdiction in each court.
Provided he could establish personal jurisdiction over Durable Locomotives, see question 3, below, Paul could file a suit in the Orleans Superior Court. Vermont's court of general jurisdiction, the appropriate forum for civil claims such as this one, is the Superior Court. 4 V.S.A. § 113. Venue lies in a county in which either party resides, in this case Orleans County. 12 V.S.A. § 402.
Alternatively, if Durable Locomotives is subject to personal jurisdiction in Vermont, Paul could file a suit in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont, or, if not, in the appropriate California district. The federal court has jurisdiction over cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $75,000, exclusive of interests and costs, and is between citizens of different states. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). In this case, the parties are citizens of different states, and the matter in controversy is arguably greater than $75,000, so the case is subject to federal jurisdiction.
Venue within the federal court system lies in any district where the defendant resides (since Durable Locomotives is a corporation, it is deemed to reside in any judicial district in which it is subject to personal jurisdiction at the time the action is commenced), or in a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred. 28 U.S.C. § 1391.
Paul could also consider filing suit in California state court.
2. What tort claim(s) could Paul make against Durable Locomotives, and what would you have to prove in order to prevail?
The two primary tort claims Paul could make against Durable Locomotives are claims for (A) ordinary negligence, and (B) strict products liability.
A. Durable Locomotives may be liable for negligence if Paul can establish (1) that Durable Locomotives owed him a legal duty to protect him from an unreasonable risk of harm; (2) that Durable Locomotives breached that duty; (3) that Durable Locomotive's conduct was the proximate cause of his injuries; and (4) that Paul suffered actual damage. Knight v. Rower, 170 Vt. 96, 102 (1999).
B. Durable Locomotives may be strictly liable pursuant to the doctrine of strict products liability if Paul can establish that Durable Locomotives, as manufacturer, sold a product in defective condition unreasonably dangerous to the user, and that that product, the Gold Rush Locomotive engine, reached Paul without undergoing substantial change. Paquette v. Deere and Company, 168 Vt. 258, 260 (1998). As in an ordinary negligence claim, Paul would also have to establish that his damages were proximately caused by the defective condition of the Gold Rush Locomotive. In this case, Paul's claim is most likely to rest on a design defect inherent in the Gold Rush Locomotive engines, rather than a manufacturing defect concerning his particular engine. Paul could also focus on Durable Locomotives' failure to warn in connection with this claim.
3. What procedural and substantive affirmative defenses should you anticipate, and how would you respond to each?
Durable Locomotives' potential defenses include the following: (A) lack of personal jurisdiction, (B) statute of limitations, and (C) assumption of risk/comparative negligence. In addition, if Paul files in state court, Durable Locomotives may seek to remove the case to federal court.
A. Personal jurisdiction:
Durable Locomotives may argue that Vermont courts lack personal jurisdiction over Durable Locomotives.
Vermont's long-arm statute, 12 V.S.A. section 913(b) confers jurisdiction over nonresident defendants to the full extent permitted by the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution. Northern Aircraft, Inc. v. Reed, 154 Vt. 36, 40 (1990). Under the Due Process Clause, a state court may assert jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant where that defendant has certain minimum contacts with the forum state such that the maintenance of the suit does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316 (1945), Dall v. Kaylor, 163 Vt. 274 (1995). In determining what contacts are sufficient to support personal jurisdiction, the Vermont Supreme Court has considered whether a defendant is in the business of selling its products nationwide, including in Vermont and the extent to which the seller initiated a sale with a Vermont resident, by advertising in a national market that included Vermont.
In support of Paul's claim, then, I would argue that to the extent that Durable Locomotives heavily promoted its product in a national market that included Vermont, and then sold its product directly to a Vermont resident– even shipping it to Vermont– it is subject to the jurisdiction of Vermont's courts.
B. Statute of Limitations
Durable Locomotives may argue that Paul's tort claims are barred by the statute of limitations, which is three years for claims for injuries to the person suffered by the act or default of another person. 12 V.S.A. § 512. The locomotive exploded, and Paul suffered his injury, on January 11, 2000. Insofar as more than three years have passed since that date, Durable Locomotives would argue, the statute has run.
In support of Paul's claim, I would argue that the three year statute of limitations for injuries to the person is subject to the discovery rule. That is, the cause of action is deemed to accrue "as of the date of the discovery of the injury." 12 V.S.A. § 512. In particular, the limitations period starts to run when the plaintiff should have discovered (1) the injury, (2) its cause, and (3) the existence of a cause of action. Soutiere v. Betzdearborn, Inc., 189 F.Supp. 2d 183 (D. Vt. 2002). In this case, then, I would argue that the limitations period did not start to run until Paul discovered the true nature and extent of his injury following the July, 2001 x-ray. Alternatively, if Paul learned of the faulty welding material within three years of suit, I might argue that the limitations period didn't start to run until after he learned, by reading the article in "Making Tracks," of the design defect that caused the locomotive to explode.
C. Comparative Negligence/Assumption of Risk
In connection with both the negligence claim and the strict products liability claim, Durable Locomotives may argue that Paul assumed the risk of such an injury by operating multiple trains at once, and that his conduct in running multiple trains, and in failing to properly operate the switches to prevent the collision that gave rise to his damages, amounted to negligence on Paul's part.
In support of Paul's negligence claim, I would note that any contributory or comparative negligence on his part will not bar recovery if his negligence was not greater than the negligence of Durable Locomotives. In other words, if Paul's negligence was not more than 50% responsible for his injuries, his negligence claim will not be barred. However, his damages may be diminished in proportion to the amount of negligence attributed to him. The task of apportionment of responsibility will fall to the factfinder– either the judge or, if a jury trial, the jury.
Likewise, with respect to Paul's strict products liability claim, I would argue that comparative liability principles likely apply, and that any claimed product-misuse or negligence on his part would not necessarily bar his recovery, although it might reduce his damages as set forth above. Webb v. Navistar International Transportation Corporation, 166 Vt. 119, 125-133 (1997).
4. Discuss the types of damages you would seek from Durable Locomotive as compensation for Paul, and the general requirements of each.
If Paul prevails on his negligence or products liability claim, he must prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, the nature and extent of his damages. He must show that his damages are the direct, necessary and probable result of Durable Locomotives' actions. Callan v. Hackett, 170 Vt. 609 (2000).
Those damages flowing from the complications arising from Paul's hand surgery would likely be included in the overall damages, whether or not they resulted from medical negligence. (Whether or not the negligence of a third person amounts to a new and independent force or agency breaking the chain of causal connection between the original wrong and the ultimate result turns on whether such negligence was something the tortfeasor had a duty to anticipate. Paton v. Sawyer, 134 Vt. 598, 601 (1977). Ordinary medical negligence does not typically constitute such an intervening cause.)
Although Paul would be entitled to compensation for all direct and natural consequences of his injury, he would have an obligation to mitigate his damages. Schnabel v. Nordic Toyota, Inc., 168 Vt. 354, 361 (1998).
Paul's damages should include:
(1) compensation for past medical expenses, whether or not paid by a third-party payer such as a health insurer (see, for example, Bradley v. H.A. Manosh Corp., 157 Vt. 477, 485 (1991).
(2) compensation for anticipated future medical expenses, to the extent the amount of such expenses can be established without undue speculation;
(3) compensation for lost wages to date;
(4) compensation for the loss of his future earning capacity, taking into account his obligation to mitigate his damages by seeking other employment;
(5) compensation for past pain and suffering, loss of recreational and other opportunities flowing from the loss of use of his hand, and emotional distress; and
(6) compensation for future pain and suffering, loss of recreational and other opportunities flowing from the use of his hand, and emotional distress arising from the permanent injury he has sustained.MODEL ANSWER - QUESTION IV - FEBRUARY 2003
1. Who is entitled to receive notice and service of the foreclosure complaint and why?
The foreclosure complaint must name as defendants all parties in interest. V.R.C.P. 80.1. Parties in interest include mortgagors, other mortgagees, lienholders, and tenants in possession. Id.; see also 12 V.S.A. § 4523(c). Therefore, all of the following should receive notice and service of the foreclosure complaint: Phillip and Patience, the mortgagors; Mobile Home Bank, another mortgagee; Charlie Carpenter, who has a lien on the property; the IRS, which also has a lien; and Buster, who is a tenant residing at the property. The facts of this question raise some doubt as to whether Mobile Home Bank is entitled to notice and service, since MHB did not record its interest in the land records. However, because Home Lenders has constructive notice of MHB's interest, the better course is to name MHB as a defendant and provide it with notice and service.
2. Describe the steps necessary to foreclose on the real property owned by Phillip and Patience.
a. Home Lenders must file a complaint for foreclosure in the superior court for the county where the land is located. 12 V.S.A. § 4523(a). As described above, the complaint must name all parties in interest as defendants. The complaint must identify the mortgagor and mortgagee, provide all relevant information about the mortgage and underlying debt, and advise the defendants of the need to appear and their right of redemption.
b. The complaint must be served on the defendants as provided in Rule 4 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, V.R.C.P. 80.1, and filed in the town clerk's office, 12 V.S.A. § 4523(b). A tenant may be served by first class mail. 12 V.S.A. V.S.A. § 4523(c)(1).
c. The proceedings in superior court are expedited. To avoid a default, defendants must file a verified answer or answer supported by affidavits. If defendants file such an answer, the plaintiffs may move for summary judgment. If defendants fail to file such an answer, the court enters a default. V.R.C.P. 80.1(c).
d. Once a default has entered or the court has adjudicated the claims, if the parties do not agree on the amount due, the clerk must take an accounting and find the amount of principal, interest to date, and costs due. V.R.C.P. 80.1(f).
e. The plaintiff must prepare and serve a form of judgment on all defendants who have appeared, together with a copy of any accounting. V.R.C.P. 80.1(g). The judgment order should set forth the time for redemption, which is six months or such shorter time as the court orders. 12 V.S.A. § 4528. Since the IRS is a lienholder, the redemption period should be the full six months.
f. The court should also provide for foreclosure by sale, if appropriate. V.R.C.P. 80.1(h). The court approves and signs the judgment order and the clerk enters it.
g. During the time of redemption the mortgagees may redeem the property and avoid foreclosure by paying the amount due into court.
h. If foreclosure by sale is authorized, the property may be sold when the redemption period expires. V.R.C.P. 80.1(h).
When the property is sold, the proceeds go first to the plaintiffs. If the proceeds exceed the amount due the plaintiff, the court shall provide for payment of the surplus to the other defendants in the order of priority of their liens and to the defendant mortgagor. If there is a deficiency, the court may assess a judgment against the mortgagor for that amount. V.R.C.P. 80.1(j).
The court enters an order of confirmation showing the names of all persons whose interests in the property is foreclosed, the name of the person to whom title is transferred, the names of any lienholders whose liens remain against the property, and a legal description of the property. V.R.C.P. 80.1(k).
3. What are the respective rights of all involved parties in:
a. the mobile home. The key issue with respect to the mobile home is whether it has become a "fixture" on the real property. Under the facts given, the mobile home probably has become a fixture, because it has been "set up," the wheels have been removed and the home has been connected to the water and septic systems. These steps are probably sufficient to indicate an intent on the part of Phillip & Patience to make the mobile home part of the real property. The Vermont Supreme Court held in Hartford National Bank & Trust Co. v. Godin, 137 Vt. 39 (1979), that a mobile home became a fixture when it was installed on the property, a foundation and steps were added, the septic system was connected, and the foundation was encased in siding. Nonetheless, an argument could be made that the water and septic hook ups are not sufficient to make the mobile home a fixture, and that Phillip and Patience took no other actions to permanently attach the mobile home to the property (such as constructing a foundation).
If the mobile home is a fixture, then the mobile home is now subject to the mortgage interest held by Home Lenders and to the other liens on the real property held by the IRS and Charlie Carpenter. Although Mobile Home Bank's security attached before Home Lenders issued the mortgage to Phillip and Patience, Mobile Home Bank did not record a fixture filing in the land records. Under the UCC, the parties with an interest in the real property take priority over Mobile Home Bank's security interest in the fixture. 9 V.S.A. § 9-334. Home Lenders' knowledge that the mobile home was "mortgaged" does not affect the priority.
If the mobile home is not a fixture, then Mobile Home Bank is the only party, other than Phillip and Patience, that has an interest in the mobile home. Mobile Home Bank has a perfected security interest in the home. MHB did not have to file a financing statement to perfect its interest; a purchase money interest in consumer goods is perfected at the time of attachment under the UCC. 9A V.S.A. § 9-309(1). MHB's interest in the mobile home will not be affected by the mortgage proceedings. MHB can pursue its own remedies under the UCC.
b. the real property. Home Lenders has priority because it has a properly recorded purchase money mortgage interest in the property.
The IRS lien does not take priority over Home Lender's purchase money mortgage, 26 U.S.C. § 6323, even though the IRS filed a notice of its lien in the land records first. The question does not give enough information to establish conclusively the relative priority of the IRS and Charlie Carpenter. As explained below, it is not clear whether Charlie Carpenter properly perfected his lien. Under some circumstances, a perfected mechanics' lien takes priority over an IRS tax lien. 26 U.S.C. § 6323. The lien must arise out of repairs or improvements to an owner-occupied personal residence and the underlying contract cannot exceed $5000. Id. It is possible that Charlie Carpenter's lien has priority over the IRS lien.
Charlie Carpenter has a lien against the real property because he filed the lien within 120 days of the time payment was due for his work. 9 V.S.A. § 1921. It is not clear from the question, however, whether Charlie Carpenter has perfected his lien. To perfect the lien, he had to file suit, get an attachment approved, and have it recorded in the land records within 90 days of the original filing. If Charlie's lien is perfected, his interest is still junior to Home Lenders, because the mortgage was recorded prior to his lien. Id. As discussed above, the relative priority of the IRS and Charlie Carpenter is not clear. Charlie Carpenter's interest is senior to Mobile Home Bank because Mobile Home Bank did not record a fixture filing in the land records before he recorded his lien.
If the mobile home is deemed a fixture, Mobile Home Bank still has an interest in the mobile home, so if there is any money left after paying the senior lienholders, it would receive the surplus to the extent of its claim.
If any money is left over after the creditors are satisfied, it would go to Phillip and Patience.
c. the contents of the mobile home. If the mobile home itself is deemed a fixture, then some of the contents, such as appliances that are affixed in some permanent manner, will likely also be deemed fixtures. Any fixtures are subject to liens on the real estate held by Home Lenders, the IRS, and Charlie Carpenter.
The Mobile Home Bank may have a perfected security interest in the contents of the mobile home that were purchased with the money that the Bank loaned to Phillip and Patience. The Bank's purchase money security interest perfected when it attached. 9A V.S.A. § 9-309(1). It is not clear, however, whether the Bank loaned Phillip and Patience the money to purchase the furniture and furnishings of the mobile home or simply used those items to secure its interest in the mobile home. If the Bank does not have a purchase money security interest, then its interest is not perfected because it did not file a financing statement. Either way, the Bank may pursue its remedies under the UCC against this collateral. Whether or not its security interest is perfected, the Bank may still enforce its interest against Phillip and Patience.
On the facts of the
question, it does not appear that the IRS has filed a lien against Phillip's
personal property.
The question concerns the admissibility of statements made in the context of settlement negotiations. Statements made in two different contexts are at issue.
The first statements were made in the mediation session in early January of 2002. One offered statement is that Shareholders offered to settle their case for $10 Million. The other offered statement is that Insurer declined, but offered to pay $ 5 Million.
The second statements were made outside of any mediation proceeding, after the judgment was entered, on March 15, 2002. The substance of this statement is that Insurer offered to settle for $10 Million in a failed attempt to resurrect the proposal that it had earlier rejected at mediation.
There is no privilege for statements made in mediation. Lawson v. Brown's Day Care Center, __ Vt. __, 776 A. 2d 390, 2001 Vt. Lexis 151 (April 16, 2001). Neither the statements made in mediation nor those made outside of mediation are covered by a recognized privilege, and, therefore, the question as to whether they may be admitted is determined by the rules of admissibility, rather than the rules relating to privileges
Rule 408 of the Vermont Rules of Evidence provides that evidence of offering to compromise a claim which is disputed as to either validity or amount, is not admissible to prove liability, or to prove the invalidity of the claim.
Considering, first, statements made in mediation, they are not offered to prove that Accounting Firm or Insurer were liable for plaintiff's claim. No inference is to be made that the $5 Million settlement response shows the defendants knew they would be found liable. Nor are these statements offered to show that the plaintiffs' $300 Million claim was invalid. No inference is to be drawn from the fact that plaintiffs were willing to settle their case for $10 Million. These statements are offered to show that the case could have been settled at that point in time, for a specified amount ($10 Million). Plaintiffs must prove that the underlying case could have been settled for an amount that the insurer was obliged to pay, in order to show that Insurer is liable in this case for failing to honor its contract of insurance. Rule 408 expressly states that it does not require exclusion if the evidence is offered for another purpose, as is the case here. Since the mediation settlement discussions are not offered to show that Accounting Firm or Insurer admitted liability, but instead is offered only to show that Insurer had the opportunity to settle the case for the specified ($10 Million) amount, these statements may be admitted into evidence.
The opposite result pertains to the post-judgment (March 15, 2002) statement, to the effect that Insurer attempted to resurrect the earlier settlement proposal by offering to pay $10 Million. The willingness of Insurer to pay $10 Million at that point has no probative value, except, potentially, to show that Insurer has tacitly or otherwise admitted that the second insurance policy applies. That is one of the key issues before the court in the present case (Accounting Firm v. Insurer); i.e. whether Insurer is also liable under the second insurance policy. This statement is not offered for any other purpose. Therefore, it is an inadmissible offer to compromise, as provided in Rule 408, and should be excluded from evidence.
411 should be briefly considered. That
Rule makes inadmissible evidence as to whether a person was or was not insured,
but only upon the issue of whether the person acted wrongfully. Hence, in the underlying action in which
Shareholders sued the Accounting Firm, evidence as to whether Accounting Firm
had insurance would have been properly excluded under Rule 411. But in the present action, (Accounting Firm
v. Insurer) the issue is whether Insurer has fulfilled its obligations under
its insurance contract. This case
concerns whether the Insurer honored its insurance contract, and Rule 411 does
not in this context require exclusion of all evidence of the very contract that
is at issue.
Pat does have standing to challenge the Department's rescission of the new rule. The Vermont Supreme Court held in In re Diel, 158 Vt. 549 (1992), that because ANFC recipients use their benefits to meet their day to day living expenses, they suffer a legal injury when the Department seeks to rescind a benefit increase. This legal injury is sufficient to make Pat "aggrieved" within the meaning of the Administrative Procedures Act, (APA). The APA, at 3 V.S.A. §801 et seq, provides that a person who is aggrieved by agency action may challenge the decision of the agency. In coming to this conclusion the Vermont Supreme Court also recognized the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970). Goldberg established that welfare benefits are a matter of statutory entitlement that cannot be terminated without due process.
In order to challenge the Department's action, Pat must first exhaust her administrative remedies. She will begin by filing a request for hearing with the Human Services Board (HSB). The HSB is created pursuant to 3 V.S.A. §3090 and exists within the Agency of Human Services. The HSB consists of seven members appointed by the governor who in turn appoint hearing officers. 3 V.S.A. §3091 provides that an applicant for or a recipient of assistance, benefits or social services from the department of prevention, assistance, transition, and health access may file a request for a fair hearing if the individual is aggrieved by agency action affecting his or her receipt of assistance, benefits or services, or because the individual is aggrieved by agency policy as it affects his or her situation. The HSB must normally issue a written decision within 75 days of the request for fair hearing. 3 V.S.A. §3091(e). Pat may appeal the HSB decision to the Vermont Supreme Court. 3 V.S.A. §3091(f).
Before rescinding the rule the Department should have gone through the rulemaking process prescribed by the APA. The procedures are:
1) Prefiling with the Interagency on the Committee on Administrative Rules. 3 V.S.A. §837;
2) Filing of proposed rules with the Secretary of State. 3 V.S.A. §838;
3) Publication of proposed rules by the Secretary of State. 3 V.S.A. §839;
4) Conducting one or more public hearings. 3 V.S.A. §840;
5) Filing a final proposal with the Secretary of State and the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules. 3 V.S.A. §841;
6) Thirty day review period by the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules. 3 V.S.A. §842
7) Adoption by the Agency of Human Services and filing adopted rule with the Secretary of State and the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules. 3 V.S.A. §843.

Owners of the Xperia T, TX, and V had a little hope before today that their beloved devices would see some of that KitKat goodness, but now their hopes lay dashed to bits at the feet of Sony's heartless engineers. These devices won't be making the jump to Android 4.4 KitKat, but will continue to live on with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Let's forget about KitKat for a moment. A large number of Android devices out there still need an update to the latest version of Jelly Bean, and while many of them will never receive such an OTA, four of Sony's handsets are receiving one this week. The company is rolling out an update to the Xperia T, TX, SP, and V.
In addition to Android 4.3, the OTA brings updated Sony pre-installed apps, more integration between the company's media apps, and the launch of the new "Xperia Themes" custom interface.
AT&T started pushing Jelly Bean (4.1.2) to its variant of the Xperia T (the TL) earlier this month, but Rogers apparently wasn't far behind. The Canadian carrier just made the update available to its Xperia T, which should bring all the same goodies that the AT&T and International versions already have. Namely:
I suppose you have to give Sony credit for at least keeping its customers informed. Today, the manufacturer announced an update to its plans for bringing its phones up to Jelly Bean. If you're rocking the Xperia T, Xperia TX, or Xperia V, you should see Android 4.1 "during February and March." Of course, this will depend on what market you're in or which variant you own.
Following those flagships, the Xperia P, Xperia J and Xperia go will start to receive their upgrades starting around the end of March.
At the beginning of October, AT&T announced the Xperia TL would be available "in the coming weeks." If you've been waiting with bated breath to get your hands on the James Bond phone, November 2 looks like the day to mark on the calendar.
- 4.6" 1280x720 "Reality Display"
- 1.5GHz dual-core processor
- 13MP fast capture camera
- Android 4.0.4 (will be upgraded to 4.1 "following launch")
The Xperia TL will be available for a mere $99 with a two-year agreement, and runs on AT&T's up and coming LTE network.
Moments ago, CyanogenMod's Google+ page announced that Sony's Xperia T, the flagship device we first covered during IFA 2012, is joining the CyanogenMod device roster, offering a link to the device's Gerrit code review page and a quick James Bond reference.
What's more, the Xperia T's first (experimental) nightly build is already live in CyanogenMod's download center.
If you've got an Xperia T and have been itching for CM goodness "shaken, not stirred," keep a close watch on get.cm (linked below) for the latest nightly builds.
Sony's new flagship smartphone, the Xperia T, which was announced at IFA last month, is now available to purchase in the UK from Three.
As with most phones on the network, the Xperia T is available with truly unlimited data on the One Plan, which will cost customers £34 a month with an upfront cost of £29. The cheaper Ultimate Internet 500 plan is also available, and will put customers back £30 a month.
Well, look what we have here. It appears an observant shopper got in touch with Android Central this morning with a link to a piece of evidence that is so random it must be real.
A British online phone store called phones4u (shudder) put up some product images for its Xperia T page. What it didn't notice, apparently, was that at least one of the images Sony sent along was for the wrong phone.
The Sony press conference is going on right now at IFA 2012 in Berlin, Germany, where the company just announced its newest flagship device, the Xperia T.
The Xperia T brings together some of Sony's best technologies into one device:
- 4.6" HD Reality Display powered by the Mobile BRAVIA® Engine for razor sharp clarity
- 13MP fast capture camera that goes from sleep mode to snap in just over a second
- Full 1080p HD video recording capabilities and a 720p HD front camera for the highest quality content
- Easy connectivity with 'One-touch' function enabled by NFC
- PlayStation™ Certified
- Latest generation 1.5GHz dual core processor for improved battery life, fast performance and ultra sharp graphics
- Android version 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

Israel: Please, No More Bin Laden Tapes, Nobody Is Buying It!
February 4, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Gordon Duff ·
"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."
– William Casey, CIA Director (first staff meeting, 1981)
Christmas Bombing Audio Tapes Lamest Yet–You Were Caught, Admit it and Move on with Life!
The new audio tape from "Osama bin Laden" taking responsibility for the idiotic and childish incident in Detroit where moronic Nigerian armed with a useless "bomb" is simply too much. Now using audio tapes because, supposedly, nobody in Al Qaeda got a flash drive video recorder for Christmas is even more of a joke. Please, with the hundreds of millions our Saudi allies have given to terrorists, a video camera the size of an Ipod might have been a nice touch. Even funnier was releasing the audio, using algorithm software probably illegally downloaded off the internet, and giving it to Al Jazeera.
Pundit Debbie Schussell, former Mark Siljander (VT staff writer) staffer, has bitterly complained about the strong ties between Fox News and Al Jazeera. Fox owner, Rupert Murdoch, is the most powerful "influencer" of the ultra-rightists in Israel. Attempts by the press to present Al Jazeera of today as the "pro-terrorist" media it seemed like many years ago is an epic misrepresentation.
A further abuse, of course, is not only that we are no longer seeing the easily debunked bin Laden doubles whose video tapes were "mysteriously" released by SITE Intelligence, the Rita Katz/Israeli group that seems to find them in trash bins behind delicatessens. The "new" audio tape itself contains statements claiming credit for 9/11 in direct contradiction to the real bin Laden videos, the only ones authenticated. If you wondered why the FBI doesn't list Osama bin Laden as a suspect in 9/11, I think you have your answer. If they think the bin Laden "admissions" aren't credibile, I wonder who the FBI is investigating or if they have simply been told to mind their own business.
The terrorist incident itself is the last thing Al Qaeda would ever take responsibilty for despite the claims by SITE Intelligence that they found an unnamed and unverified internet site that confirmed this. Who in the name of all that is holy would want to take responsibility for an idiot who was led onto an American bound plane by passing around searches, customs and passport control in an airport run by an Israeli security company but who carried a "bomb" designed by a three year old.
Who would be so stupid as to try to pass off this childish tape when reliable witnesses saw the terrorist being led onto the plane in Amsterdam in a manner that required full cooperation from security personnel, passport control and the airline itself. We don't even have to go into the fact that the "terrorists" in Yemen that supposedly claimed responsibilty were released from Guantanamo under the personal signature of Vice President Cheney in 2007 or that before the incident, the government of Yemen tied these individuals to Israeli controllers thru captured computers.
I am only thankful that the duped terrorist, or as Lee Oswald had said, "patsy", was the moronic son of a long time Mossad business associate in Nigeria. Mr. Mutallab, banker, but mostly head of Nigeria's defense industry, DICON, managed almost entirely by Israelis, may have much more story to tell other than the one he told CIA Chief of Station on November 19, 2009. Do we want to follow former Homeland Security director Chertoff, not only a Jewish activist but currently representing companies selling body scanners to airports and the mysterious ability for someone on worldwide terrorist watch lists to be escorted onto a US bound airliner without passport or search?
Billions in profits were realized almost instantly after this incident. Companies tied to Chertoff, Israel and India were on the receiving end.
The only reliable information the world has on Osama bin Laden is that he was killed by American troops on December 13, 2001 and buried outside Tora Bora by his following, 30 Mujahideen. At least 6 of these witnesses were alive at last check. Since his death, every "leaked" video or statement has been timed for convenient electoral "terrorist" scares, been childishly unprofessional and has only worked to discredit Islam.
Every effort has been made by the MSM/corporate press to cover the facts behind the Christmas "bombing" and push the blame on everyone but the obvious culprits. That effort was deemed so successful that now a brazen attempt to resurrect long dead Osama bin Laden to take responsibilty for trying to set off a bomb with a flame igniter that could only be exploded using a blasting cap, is being made.
Is this an attempt to make Al Qaeda look stupid?
"My name is Osama bin Laden. I had a moron carry a defective bomb onto a plane full of Islamic families returning to Detroit, the most Muslim city in the west, as part of a terror campaign. I chose a flight that connected from the Middle East so I could kill as many of the innocent faithful as possible. Please excuse this and the dozen or other mistakes made but being dead has left me less sharp than I once was. No, I do not work for the Mossad, they simply tape and distribute my interviews. This is part of an agreement with my talent agent who is Jewish. All talent agents are Jewish, ask anyone in Hollywood. What do you expect, miracles? 10% of nothing is nothing.
For my faithful followers, I expect to be a regular on Californication next season on Showtime. I'll be the guy with the beard who seems dead."
The second possibility, one designed for the "spiritual" crowd is this:
"I am Osama, the ghost of Tora Bora. Please give more money to Israel, vote to extend the Patriot Act and buy new airport scanners from the companies listed on my weekly newsletter distributed by SITE Intelligence. Watch for more insane threats coming in the future and have a nice weekend. Remember to stop eating pork."
Any group that could make 5 airliners outwit NORAD, the most advanced air defense system in the world, any group that could train terrorist pilots inside the United States itself with nobody catching on, and it gets worse. Sources tell us that FBI Special Agent Stephen Butler may have "accidentally" been cashing checks for and paying rent for two of the 9/11 hijackers. Can people who can get this kind of thing done put a moron on an aircraft at an airport secured by an Israeli company, "extremely closely" related to the same company that managed security at all of the airports used on 9/11?
When Michigan attorney Kurt Haskell and his wife witnessed the famous, "he has no passport, he is a Sudanese refugee, we do this all the time", incident in Amsterdam, only a phony bin Laden tape could make America forget, or so "they" hope. Imagine our terrorist being taken to meet the security head for the "airline" with his "Indian looking" handler, bomb strapped to his underwear. Think of this exploding moron and his handler and who they would have had to know to get past, not only airline security and the Israeli company guarding the airport but Dutch passport control as well.
Anyone with the power to load the "crotch bomber" on a plane with no passport could have put a nuclear weapon in luggage easier. Nukes are seldom on watch lists or have parents running to the CIA reporting them as "terrorists." Next time we are being lied to, please, have more respect. Not everyone is a dumb as a Fox News, CNN, the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times.
It is one thing claiming that poor, long dead Osama bin Laden runs terrorists in Yemen. It is quite something else proving that he manages an airport in Europe or runs the Dutch government. When US Senators can't get thru airport security without being detained, bin Laden's ability to get diplomatic VIP treatment for known terrorists makes him more than a threat, it makes him a magician.
We are thankful that nobody was seriously injured and that we can all laugh about this, maybe not all of us. The people of Nigeria don't think it is funny. Millions of Muslims aren't seeing the joke either. Air travelers are having their bad moments also. Some, however, have benefitted in a major way, politically, financially and militarily. None of those people, however, are ever openly accused of terrorism.

(Former) Rep. Cynthia McKinney, and Gaza
January 14, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Sacramento– January 10th–(Ex-Representative) Cynthia McKinney spoke here at the Salam Center, a Community nucleus for the Islamic Community of the Greater Sacramento Area as part of a program put together by the new American Muslims for Palestine (AMP). Before the speeches by Cynthia and Hatem Bazian (whose comments your journalist will report on in a future article), we ate a communal Halal dinner at the Center.
McKinney is an Afro-American Person of the Book who served six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives gaining the ire of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and the U.S. India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) for her strong support of the Islamic nations of Pakistan and Palestine. The two lobby organizations' political "war chest" money and power cause her to lose her seat in a prominently Black District twice despite the fact she had served six terms in Congress.
She has doubts facts about September 11th, 2001, also; so, she served on the Citizens Commission on 9/11. After looking at the details of that day in New York City, she signed the 9/11 Truth Movement asking for new investigations on the unexplained aspects of that incident.
While still in the Lower House, she presented Articles of Impeachment against former President Bush, Vice President Cheney and (then) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Further, Cynthia McKinney's educational background and experience makes her solidly authoritative on foreign affairs.
During Tel Aviv' attacks upon Gaza she attempted to enter the Strip with humanitarian supplies — twice unsuccessfully by sea and once successfully by land.
On her first endeavor, the blockading Israeli Navy rammed her ship. Mentioning that she was not a Palestinian, she asserted "That I [would] die is one of the [most] honorable [things] I could" do.
On the second effort, McKinney found herself surrounded by Israeli War boats. All the passengers and crew were "kidnapped" (captured), and imprisoned for ten days. Cynthia was, additionally, banned from Israel for ten years – including the Occupied Territories (i.e., Palestine).
After she was released from detention and deported, she received a call from the British Member of Parliament, George Galloway, who is the director of Viva Palestina which has entered Gaza with conveys of trucks containing relief supplies, called Ms. McKinney and asked her to come with his trucks across the Rafah crossing from Egypt into shattered Gaza. The (prior) Congresswoman described that the horrible devastation of the diminutive State was over-powering, but, on the other hand, she attested to the defiant spirit of the people.
"We have to resist" our (own) government (U.S.) "…like the Palestinians" the Israeli. "Washington D.C. is ground Xerox," too. Describing her experience on the Coastal Strip, "I was the one whose spirit was uplifted…In my heart, I am a Palestinian!"

Other Pets at City of White Settlement
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Red, a white settlment Papillon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Papillon for sale in white settlment, or seeking a Papillon dog from a breeder in white settlment.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in white settlment already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a white settlment breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Papillon breeders who help with Papillon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in white settlment paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi all. you've probably read my previous story.
Now it has escalated into violence. I have reason to believe my upstairs neighbor has dented my car on the left rear quarter panel. We have surveilence in the parking garage but for some strange reason, condo association person in charge of it is doing everything he can to prevent me to viewing the tape ie coming with all kinds of excuses. I've submitted 2 written request to association to view the tape to no avail. So, I have these questions.
Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only previous message of yours that I have seen is where you insisted the elderly SSI income lady who lives above you waits until you are asleep then stays up all night knocking on the radiator pipes just to bug you. Now she is supposedly denting your car? Your legal recourse is move far, far away from everyone. If you keep accusing this old lady of things you are going to find her taking you to court for harrasement and mental stress and just from your two messages I have seen, she will win. |

Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis, the man who has missed only five games the last three seasons, will be out of action the next three to four weeks with a broken hamate bone.
Markakis broke hammate bone. Surgery tomorrow morning. Not season ending. 3-4 weeks is an estimate
— Roch Kubatko (@masnRoch) May 31, 2012
Markakis initially injured his wrist in his last at bat Tuesday against the Blue Jays. X-Rays that night came back negative, but he was scheduled to see a hand specialist today for a second opinion. Surgery will likely be scheduled for Friday.
On the season, he has a slash line of .256/.333/.452 with eight home runs. Ryan Flaherty and his .154/.182/.212 line will take over in right field for the time being.

Non-conforming Blood Types
Name: Judy Status: Other Grade: Other Location: TX Country: United States Date: May 2006
My father is AB-..my mother is O+..both my brother and I are O+. Yes he is our father. With blood typing being a clearly defined science, how can this be explained?
My husband is A+, and I am O+..our daughter is A-. I am told this happened because my father being a recessive negative. Does this mean that both my husband and I are carriers?
It is possible that both your mother and father carry the recessive gene for the Bombay phenotype. This gene, when homozygous, results in the absence of the O or H antigen which is the precursor of both the A and B antigen. In other words, both you and your brother may have inherited the A or B antigen from your father but not express it. You and your brother should be tested for the H antigen which produces the O blood type. If you lack the H antigen, then you have the Bombay phenotype, and this would explain why you and your brother don't express the A or B anitgen which you should have inherited from your father. If you lack the H antigen, you can only receive a blood transfusion from another person with the Bombay phenotype, which is rare. If your are a Bombay phenotype, you should store some of your own blood for a possible future transfusion.
The fact that your daughter is Rh(-), means that she inherited the recessive Rh(-) gene from both you and your husband.
In your question you mentioned that your father is your biological father. How do you know this? Has DNA testing been done?
Regards, Ron Baker, Ph.D.
There are two explanations for AB father and O mother. First, I would have all the blood types rechecked. I had a situation like this a few years ago where I had a mother and daughter both in a medical assisting class. We were learning to do blood typing and they were concerned because their father/husband had an incompatible blood type. They went home and asked him how he knew his blood type and he said he had had it tested in the Army decades ago. I gave them some blood typing materials to take home, and sure enough he had a different blood type than he thought. Another possibility is what is known as the Bombay phenotype. Blood phenotype is actually the result of more than one gene. The antigens (ie. A, B, and O) are coded for by one gene, but there is a gene for an enzyme that actually "sticks" the antigens on to the surface of the red blood cell. Let's call this the H gene. Rarely, someone will hh, in other words recessive for the enzyme, and therefore the antigens don't get added. So even though one would have a genetic blood type, it wouldn't show and you would appear to be type O. There is a blood test for this, but it isn't tested for routinely when you have your blood typed.
As far as a type A and type O mom having type A kids, yes that is possible if the type A person is a carrier of the O gene.

BALLSTON SPA - Until last week, registered sex offenders in Saratoga County couldn't live or work within one-thousand feet of a playground, daycare center or public pool.
Those restrictions were in addition to state law requiring sex offenders to live more than one-thousand feet from schools.
But Saratoga County Judge Jerry Scarano is the latest to overturn county laws restricting where offenders can live or work. The judge's ruling, based on an appeal from a Ballston Spa sex offender, said state law supercedes county law.
According to the judge's decision, the sex offender lived or worked within a thousand feet of St. Mary's School.
The judge ordered the charge against the offender dismissed.
"Hooray for Saratoga County for seeing the light," says attorney Terry Kindlon who has been challenging county laws restricting sex offenders because they force them to "go underground" where they can't be monitored. "They could not live anywhere."
Kindlon says, "The sex offender will try to comply with the law, find it's impossible to comply and eventually says 'the hell with it."'
Saratoga County Attorney Stephen Dorsey says he'll recommend that his Board of Supervisors not appeal the judge's ruling. "I don't see any point in beating a dead horse."
The county public defender has asked that any cases citing the county law should be "summarily dismissed."

Detective Bill Parks of the Cleveland Police Department said a black male who is described as large in stature has been entering various Walmart stores in Cleveland, Chattanooga and the surrounding area, loading shopping carts with merchandise and then casually walking past checkouts.
Items include electronics, housewares and other goods.
The suspect has been seen leaving the parking lots of the stores. Parks said different vehicles have been used by the suspect to make his escape.
The suspect has black hair in long, dreadlocks style.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Parks at 559-3321.
n CPD detectives are continuing an investigation into an alleged knife incident which occurred in a parking lot on Keith Street this week.
The victim stated she was leaving the area of Walmart and Staples when a man approached her car and demanded money.
The suspect then allegedly began to assault her with a razor knife. The victim was able to flee the scene and contacted police, according to a report filed by officer Julius Porter.
Porter observed the injuries the victim had received during the assault.
The victim declined medical attention at a hospital but was treated by Bradley County Emergency Medical Service.
Officials are continuing their investigation.

Did social media kill the Zimmerman trial book deal?
In a conclusion that has sparked outrage across physical and online platforms, neighbourhood watch guard George Zimmerman has been acquitted of killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The race-focused case had been open since February, but was prevalent on Twitter and Facebook long before the incident crossed any news desks, due mainly to the strong voice of what Buzzfeed writer Shani O. Hilton dubs 'Black Twitter'.
Black Twitter is, Hilton says, "A group of thousands of black Twitterers (though, to be accurate, not everyone within Black Twitter is black, and not every black person on Twitter is in Black Twitter) who a) are interested in issues of race in the news and pop culture and b) tweet A LOT."
In the aftermath of the case it emerged that one anonymous juror, known as Juror B37, had, with the help of literary agent Sharlene Martin, planned to write a tell-all book after telling CNN that the unarmed Trayvon Martin was partly to blame for the incident, while his killer's "heart was in the right place".
Black Twitter swiftly went on the offensive, with user Genie Lauren (aka @moreandagain) creating a Change.org petition that garnered 1,300 signatures and spearheading a Twitter campaign that saw Martin barraged with tweets imploring her to reconsider her position. Some hours later, the agent reportedly messaged Lauren saying that she had in fact changed her mind. Juror B37 later released a statement saying she was unaware while sequestered of the widespread anger surrounding the racially-charged case, and that she now "realized that the best direction for me to go is away".
The power of Black Twitter is obvious, then. As Hilton concludes: "As Twitter has grown and become more central to daily conversation, the influence of its pigeonholed groups has also grown exponentially. Today, Black Twitter is no longer something you can only find if you know where to look. It's permeating your timeline, even if you don't know it."
Elsewhere, many claim that the cathartic nature of social media helped to avoid potentially violent clashes following the verdict. According to Slate's Dave Weigal: "It was taken for granted that a Zimmerman acquittal would inspire a race war. The only dispute was about the scale."
However, when people took to the streets to protest the outcome, there was no rioting, something NPR writer Elise Hu attributes to social media's role as mediator. "In the aftermath of the verdict, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr gave everyone who felt something about the verdict a place to vent, or bicker, or celebrate," she said.
New York University professor Clay Shirky agrees, adding: "Rioting comes from people who don't have any other mechanism for response, so other mechanisms for response may reduce the use of [rioting]."

2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy he knew would be his afterward. Now he is seated in the place of highest honor beside God's throne in heaven. | 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. |

I found the website where you can play online. Should I jump right in or shy away from this until I play a few real games? Also, are there generally people that play online or do you have to know fellow players.
Finally, I'm considering painting the minis. Are there are any good painting guides for the minis?

During our festival, I talked to my peers, some for the first time.
Sitting under the cherry blossom tree,
Joking with classmates
who once were strangers.
I took this class on the recommendation of a past student after hearing the homework consists of writing a poem and drawing a picture. I thought to myself, "this sounds like something I could do pretty easily." Man was I wrong. Writing these little three line poems turned out to be as hard as writing any three page paper. Having to be so selective with our words made the process more difficult than I ever could have imagined. But it also made it more rewarding. This class opened my eyes to things that in my Western mindset I overlook. While it sounds cliche, getting a better understanding of Japanese culture also gave me a better understanding of myself (not that I'm Japanese). As we talked in class, I realized that many of our subjects, like lyrical moments or Do (the Way), I have experienced before. However, without a means to properly appreciate them, I dismissed them. This class has allowed me to appreciate these things in a light untouched by Western philosophy. I take particular comfort in the fact that while we are doomed to fail at some point, we will also succeed at other points. Every low has a comparable high. I really enjoyed this course and it has been one of the coolest I have taken at Tufts.

What Goes Up Must Come Down
A funny thing happened to me on the weekend. Well, let me rephrase that… a funny thing happened to my lamp on the weekend. You see, despite the platitude of warnings regarding throwing things in the house (balls, toys, shoes… you get the drift), it seems no one was listening. Again. Do I have to keep repeating myself? I guess I do, because this time the infraction cost me a lamp – and not just any lamp, the only new lamp I've purchased in the last five years! (Can someone tell me why it's always the case?) It couldn't have happened to the nice-but-somewhat-tired-looking lamp we purchased ages ago, right? To be fair, I didn't have an attachment to this lamp, nor was it a major purchase (Martha Stewart from Home Depot!), but I happened to like it – a lot. It was modern, fresh, and a great addition to our living room. But, if I'm really honest with myself, what annoys me more than the lamp breaking is the fact that I'm starting to feel like I'm entering "those years"… you know, when your kids are of a certain age that makes it impossible to keep a house looking respectable; when you fear for your treasured heirlooms and other breakables, so you put them away (far, far away!); when adult space, as you know it, ceases to exist. That scares me! I always told myself that this wouldn't happen… I wouldn't let it. Yet, here we are. I guess that's just one of the sacrifices we make as parents, although it's not one I'm completely at peace with. I'm doing my best to teach the kids to be respectful of property and, for the most part, they listen. But then a ball toss ensues, a lamp breaks… and what goes up, must come down!

Podcast: First Foundation Prez on What Brokers Do
This one got lost in the audio vault for awhile, but in mid-2011 I did an interview in a secret underground studio location with Cam Rutten who, besides being a great guy, is the regional director of BoB Clubs here in Edmonton.
If you can spare 22 minutes of your time, have a listen and let me know what you think. I tackle Cam's blistering questions for the whole time…we cover a range of subjects like whitewater rafting, pre-approvals, doing mortgages for our competitors, spouses and kids, social media, and what's going on in the economy.

The full-frontal shot, above, shows a young man with a tattoo of a bird on his hip the same ink as the 18-year-old 'Boyfriend' singer.
"Yesterday during the show, me and my tour manager Josh had some stuff stolen. Really sucks. People should respect other's property," Justin tweeted earlier today.
He added: "I had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect".
Justin's people have not commented on the photo possibly because it's a fake with a capital F.
Beliebers have leapt to the singer's defence, some claiming his belly button and nipples are different to the poser in the photo. Plus, the bird-on-hip tatt could very well be a photoshop job.
"The JB nudes are fake and from a long time ago. It's not him. Yes his laptop + camera were stolen but that is NOT him. Stop starting stuff," wrote one fan on Tumblr.
Earlier this week, police swarmed Justin's house in Los Angeles after a prank caller claimed a gunman was on site. It happened the same night as Justin's computer and camera burglary.
