* Let's get ready to rumble! Some of the Supreme Court's most controversial opinions yet are expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks — and maybe even today. Stay tuned for news. [CNN]
* Let's see what happens when Obama nominates three judges at once to the D.C. Circuit. How many of them will be confirmed as quickly as Sri Srinivasan? Probably not many. [New York Times]
* White House counsel and leading litigatrix Kathryn Ruemmler is best known for her fabulous shoes, but this week, she's taking some flak for her involvement in the IRS scandal. [New York Times]
* "I don't know whether the Lord Himself could get confirmed at this point." It looks like poor Attorney General Eric Holder doesn't have very many people left to turn to thanks to executive and congressional inaction. [Bloomberg]
* When it comes to recent diversity efforts in Biglaw there's an ebb, but not really a flow, and it's all being blamed on the recession. Also, "diversity fatigue" is apparently a thing now. [New York Times]
* The $200 million gender discrimination suit filed against Greenberg Traurig over the firm's alleged "old boys club" has been settled for an undisclosed amount. You go girl! [Thomson Reuters News & Insight]
* According to Judge Murray Snow, Arizona's most beloved sheriff, Joe Arpaio, has been violating the constitutional rights of all of the Latinos whom he supposedly "hadn't" been racially profiling. [Reuters]
* My, how things change: David Blankenhorn, a man who once testified as an expert witness in support of Proposition 8 at trial, has come forward to condemn anti-marriage equality laws. [Los Angeles Times]
* Stewart Schwab, the dean of Cornell Law School, will step down in June 2014. Perhaps the next dean will crack down on the number of cam girls pleasuring themselves in the law library. [Cornell Chronicle]
* Law schools tend to be "bastions of liberalism," which makes it hard for students to find intellectual diversity. It's a good thing we've got the Federalist Society to balance things out. [Washington Times]
* People who think Washington needs another law school propose one for students "who can't afford to … go into debt … to get their legal degree." This won't sit well with the legal academy. [News Tribune]
* With Lindsay Lohan stuck in rehab, Amanda Bynes decided it was her turn to go wild. The retired actress says she's suing the NYPD for unlawful arrest and sexual harassment. [New York Daily News]
* Alton Lemon, the Supreme Court plaintiff behind the eponymous Lemon test, RIP. [New York Times]

* Dewey's version of trying to curry favor for the proposed $72M partner settlement? Filing a deposition transcript noting that others could've also been blamed for D&L's downfall, but weren't due to time constraints. Gee, thanks. [Am Law Daily]
* Novak Druce + Quigg and Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz will merge to form Novak Druce Connolly Bove & Quigg, the 7th largest IP firm in the U.S. Guess seven name partners was a bit much. [Delaware Law Weekly]
* Michael McShane was nominated by President Obama to fill a judgeship in Oregon. If confirmed, he'd be one of the few openly gay judges on the federal bench, which, of course, would be absolutely fabulous. [Oregonian]
* The Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession wants the ABA to amend the Model Rules of Professional Conduct to include a duty to promote diversity. Because we clearly need a rule on that. [National Law Journal]
* Cindy Garcia, an actress from "Innocence of Muslims" is suing, claiming that she was duped into the role under false pretenses. She wants the film removed from YouTube. Everyone else does, too, lady. [Bloomberg]
* A judge refused to issue an injunction against the California ban on foie gras, instead allowing a suit on the same topic to move forward. Oh mon dieu, judge, think of all the poor Francophiles! [San Francisco Chronicle]

Check blood pressure, and thyroid/thyroxin. Calm down with herbal tea and warm baths. Think good thoughts, we aren't in the midst of a tragedy are we? Still life isn't easy and we must work at it.
There are drugs for this if you want to see a doctor, called Beta Blockers. You are not depressed, quite normal, and extra alert or aware.

Children of the Jacaranda Treeby Sahar Delijani
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A country divided by revolution — a people united by love...
Neda is born in Tehran's Evin Prison, where her mother is allowed to nurse her for a few months before the arms of a guard appear at the cell door one day and, simply, take her away. In another part of the city, three-year-old Omid witnesses the arrests of his political activist parents from his perch at their kitchen table, yogurt dripping from his fingertips. More than twenty years after the violent, bloody purge that took place inside Tehran's prisons, Sheida learns that her father was one of those executed, that the silent void firmly planted between her and her mother all these years was not just the sad loss that comes with death, but the anguish and the horror of murder.
These are the Children of the Jacaranda Tree. Set in post-revolutionary Iran from 1983 to 2011, this stunning debut novel follows a group of mothers, fathers, children, and lovers, some related by blood, others brought together by the tide of history that washes over their lives. Finally, years later, it is the next generation that is left with the burden of the past and their country's tenuous future as a new wave of protest and political strife begins.
Children of the Jacaranda Tree is an evocative portrait of three generations of men and women inspired by love and poetry, burning with idealism, chasing dreams of justice and freedom. Written in Sahar Delijani's spellbinding prose, capturing the intimate side of revolution in a country where the weight of history is all around, it is a moving tribute to anyone who has ever answered its call.
"Set in post-revolutionary Iran, Delijani's gripping novel is a blistering indictment of tyranny, a poignant tribute to those who bear the scars of it, and a celebration of the human heart's eternal yearning for freedom." Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns
"Delijani is exceptionally talented as a writer, and the subject matter is both compelling and timely....[A] searing and somber slice-of-life novel, centered around children whose parents were singled out for persecution by the Iranian government...[Delijani] scores a win with her grittiness and uncompromising realism." Kirkus Reviews
"Filled with compelling characters and poetic language, this beautiful and poignant novel highlights the unbreakable bond between parent and child, and a people's passionate dedication to their homeland, despite its many flaws." Booklist
"Heartbreakingly heroic." Publishers Weekly
"This deeply personal account of the rich, lustrous tapestry of life, family, love and searing loss amid the Iranian revolution moved me to tears more than once. Like the characters of Children Of The Jacaranda Tree, Delijani herself is a revolutionary: a fiercely brave, beautiful and unflinching new voice." Abigail Tarttelin, author of Golden Boy
About the Author
Sahar Delijani was born in Tehran's Evin Prison in 1983 and grew up in California, where she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work has been published in a broad spectrum of literary journals and publications, including The Battered Suitcase, Tryst, Slice Magazine, Prick of the Spindle, Perigee, Border Hopping, Berkeley Poetry Review, and Sangam Review. She was nominated for the 2010 and 2011 Pushcart Prize and was for a time a regular contributor to Iran-Emrooz (Iran of Today) Political and Cultural Journal. She makes her home with her husband in Turin, Italy. Children of the Jacaranda Tree is her first novel. Find out more at SaharDelijani.com/en.

Zombie Eddie Guerrero
During the match between Ryback and Luke Harper during Monday Night Raw last night, JBL generated a bit of controversy with some comments that he made. When Harper flew over the ropes, the commentator stated that he looked like a "zombie Eddie Guerrero", which drew the ire of the internet wrestling community, who pounced him with some negative comments through social media. Guerrero still remains very popular with the fans.

Ryback tells his story
In an unusual move, WWE opted to hand the microphone over to Ryback on Monday Night Raw and allow him to tell the story of how he became a professional wrestler. Management was said to be inspired by a recent interview, where he revealed to the world that Luke Gallows, who was not mentioned on the televised interview, was the one that saved him from a life of depression and helped him figure out how to get his job back in wrestling.

spray wax versus wax
pawprint1June 5, 2005
Do you think spray wax does the same good job as the traditional manual rub rub rub wax?
It's sure easier to use for me, mist, wipe and wipe off.
I've read a lot of articles that say that with clear coat finishes, you really don't even need to wax them anymore to protect the paint. Waxing does make a deeper shine, though, and it's nice to see rainwater bead up on the paint like it does after being waxed. Given that waxing is primarily a cosmetic thing, I can't see much reason not to use what's easy. The advantage of the rub-on waxes is probably that you get a thicker coat and the wax lasts longer. I haven't used anything but the spray-on waxes for 10 years or more.

A 700-foot mural depicting an iconic American photograph—"Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima"—affixed to a downtown Amherst, Ohio, office building, serves as a memorial to honor the men and women who have served and are currently serving the U.S. armed forces.
Helping to make the project a reality—and ensure its color quality and long-term visual appeal—were donations of high-strength, high-performance paint colors and coatings from several companies, including The Sherwin-Williams Company and SEAL-KRETE.
Photos by David Wilding
Artist Michael Sekletar dreamed of reproducing Joe Rosenthal's 1945 iconic frozen frame of five U.S. Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag atop the Mount Suribachi summit during World War II, in the small Ohio town.
Sekletar's dream became reality in 2011, when the city approved the project and a local attorney offered the side of his downtown office building as the backdrop for the artwork.
According to the mural project's Facebook page description, the artist wanted to "perfect the mural to resemble the photo as closely as possible as far as realism is concerned."
Sekletar and fellow artist Ryan Shannon completed the installation on the brick and concrete wall in 500 hours in the fall of 2011.
"To be able to do something like this for our veterans is an honor and a privilege," said Sekletar.
Creation of the Wall to Honor
A variety of products were donated for the mural project. Michael Beltz, an account executive with Sherwin-Williams Diversified Brands helped the artists to secure donations.
One of the products used to create the mural was Resilience™ Exterior Acrylic Latex, manufactured by The Sherwin-Williams Company. According to product literature, the paint is low-VOC and is formulated with Moisture Guard™ Technology to deliver moisture resistance 50% faster than conventional paints.
Also, Purdy® professional applicators and Georgian Artists' Oil Colours from Winsor & Newton and Daler Rowney were used.
In order to protect the work of art, Beltz approached the local SEAL-KRETE representatives, The Stallings Group, for product donations.
Because of the outdoor placement, the mural required a "durable coating that would withstand seasonal temperature changes, sun exposure and wind-driven rain and snow," St. Louis, Mo.-based SEAL-KRETE said.
Another important consideration was protection against possible vandalism; an "anti-graffiti" coating was necessary to seal the mural.
After consulting with Beltz on the project details, The Stallings Group recommended that the artists seal the mural using Dura-Shell Clear Coat, a two-component, water-based urethane system is reported to offer a high gloss finish in a low-VOC formula.
"The coating system is formulated for preservation and protection and will stand up to the performance requirements of the mural's environment," said Greg Stallings, owner of The Stallings Group. He added that the product exhibits a "high tolerance for moisture and temperature extremes and also protects from graffiti and the potential wear of people touching the painted surface."
In addition, the company says the product does not react to oil paint, which also figured into its specification for the mural.
Salute to Veterans
Dedication of the mural occurred during a ceremony held on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 2011. Hundreds of community members and veterans were in attendance.
SEAL-KRETE said that as the "Star-Spangled Banner" played, Marine Corps members raised a flag over the memorial, evoking the memorable event on Iwo Jima as U.S. forces fought courageously to subdue Japan in the Pacific.
During the ceremony, Ohio state Senator Gayle Manning honored the artists and the city. A 21-gun salute from the Amherst Military Honor Guard Marine Corps concluded the dedication. "The Iwo Jima mural is very important to our community; it's gratifying to know that a product we recommended will help preserve it," said Stallings. A plaque placed on the mural by the artists reads, "We will never forget the courage, honor and sacrifice of the men and women who served our country for our freedom."

Want to Flush Mount This Fan?
This fan can be mounted flush to the ceiling with the addition of Monte Carlo's Low Ceiling Adaptor MC90 . Without the flushmount adaptor, the fan can be mounted with the included mounting assembly and downrods.
Have a Sloped Ceiling?
This fan comes standard with Monte Carlo's universal hanging system. This basic system allows for mounting on ceilings that have up to a 14 degree slope. For sloped ceilings between 15 and 46 degrees you'll need the Monte Carlo MC95 Sloped Ceiling Adapter.
Have a High Ceiling?
Many Monte Carlo Ceiling Fans work with 8 or 9 foot ceilings. If your ceiling is higher, you'll need a downrod. The rule of thumb is that fans should have a minimum of 7 feet and a maximum of 9 feet of clearance between the bottom of the fan blades and the floor in order to circulate the air efficiently.

Anyone used an Abbaka blower on a wall?
I'm thinking of putting an Abbaka HyEX 1400 cfm blower on an exterior wall. Has anyone done this?
I would be putting it on the wall right above where the kitchen hood. Anyone know if this would be fairly quiet? Would it for example be a lot quieter than having the fan IN the hood?
My other choice, since I'm doing new construction would be just to run the ductwork all the way to the roof...but it involves a couple of tradeoffs on the upstairs living space I don't quite want to do.
We put one on the roof. If you don't have it yet, you will surprised by how large it is. I decided I didn't want something that big on a wall.
So we went up to the roof, and lost some space in a closet. Not ideal, but worth it for the sound reduction.
If you put it on a wall outside the hood it will be loud. I'm not sure if an internal fan would be quieter or louder.
Others should chime in here. Good luck!
I don't have an Abbaka blower, or a blower on a wall just outside the cooking zone, but it occurs to me that two or three moderately lower cfm but smaller fans run at half speed would be quieter at 1400 cfm. Sizing and ducting would have to be carefully considered to determine what would fit. The only advantage would be if the airflow available from this setup were higher than from an internal fan or fans so the blade speed could be lower. Also, motor vibration might be captured by the house framing instead of the hood sheetmetal for a possible further benefit.
I have a 1000 cfm Abbaka in the wall right now, providing excellent worksite venting as I do the rest of the kitchen renovation. I can hear it right now, in the next room.
If you really want quiet, running the ductwork to the roof and maybe using a silencer along the way is absolutely the way to go.
If the fan is on an outside wall right behind the hood it will be admirably efficient -- a very short duct run -- which may let you run the fan at slightly lower levels. And as fan noises go, Abbaka's is pretty good ... but it will not be "fairly quiet." You will hear it. And it will be only slightly more quiet than a fan in the hood.
Thanks: this is helpful. I looked at the Abbaka spec and I'm going to run it up to the roof. The spec said keep total run less than 51 feet including each 90 degree turn as a 6 foot space.
I'm going with a 48" CC and I'm now going to use the Abbaka on the roof and a modernaire 48" vent hood. My total 10" duct run is going to be 30 feet long, but it will include two 90 degree turns. This means it will be 42 feet long as per the Abbaka spec (30+6*2). Hopefully the 1400cfm fan will get me enough cfm at the hood.
I probably don't have the brain power to do a static pressure calculation at the moment given a 10 inch duct.
We have a similar setup - a 48 inch Capital Culinarian with a custom Modernaire hood insert in a wooden cabinet. I highly recommend that your hood be 54 inches wide and at least 27 inches deep. You really need that with the high heat and all of the smoke you will generate when cooking something good. This will allow you to keep the fan turned down lower which means less noise in the kitchen.
