Day 5: taking it easy and crossing the border
... short, the damn route got us lost and we ended up doing another massive detour. At rixheim, we eventually turned around to try to find any kind of river to camp on. Rivers are nice. We didnt find the rhine, but ended up staying on the banks of a kittle canal which was super pretty and a fair distance from any dodgy dog walkers!
dinner, consisting of more garlic tha pasta, followed by wine and bed was pretty much exactly what the doctor ...
Day 4: my kingdom for a pizza!!!
... death cos I was so hungry.
We wolfed down our food in 5 minutes flat, I can't say if it was any good, and as it was soon to get dark, started actively hunting for a place to pitch the tent. After another 10km or so, we found ourselves in rheinfelden, literally on the banks of the rhine. Cant complain, the spot was pretty. With only beer and wine at hand, we had to make do, and shortly after dark we were passed ...
Schwarzwald Trip - Freiburg im Breisgau
As part of our weekend trip south, we set Freiburg im Breisgau as our
Saturday night destination. We arrived in the evening just before dark.
We stayed in a cute little hotel called Hotel Blume. It was about 10 km
away from the main heart of Freiburg, but it was one of the only hotels
available at short notice, and was also decently affordable. For being
the only hotel with vacancies, it was actually really nice. It had

Sunday in Mulhouse AKA Boring Sunday
... Even my little home town is buzzing on a Sunday morning. We did happen upon a military ceremony of some kind. They had a bugler, lots of French flags and they played the French national Anthem.....wish I could remember the words....Sheryl?? LOL We popped into the Textile Museum but unfortunately it was closing at midday and not reopening until 2pm. The siesta is alive and well in Mulhouse. For €9 we kept going.

Out in the Open (very long chapter)Mature
The red light began to glare and hurt his eyes as the single figure moved past him. Gabriel had never seen anything like it the light was shining brightly from what Gabriel assumed was a person but in the centre was a blackness that seemed impossible the light seemed to dim slightly and Gabriel raised Hyperion and holding her near the blade pressed said blade to what he presumed was the figures neck.
"Why are you following us?" Gabriel hissed the figure sniggered
"I was hoping you'd want me to" Gabriel dropped Hyperion back to his side.
"bloody hell Dawn" he growled "you scared the hell out of us" the light died down until only the daemons left hand was glowing dully.
"Well you don't want to know what you just did to me then" Dawn grinned.
"Don't be an idiot come on we've got to catch up to the others" Gabriel was quiet as they walked Dawn stopped ad it took Gabriel a moment to realize he was leaving the daemon behind. "Come on" he said irritably.
"Not yet" Dawn said. Gabriel had a nasty thought at that moment.
"Dawn how do I know you're you?" he asked his hand flicked to Hyperion's strap ready to undo her. Dawn smiled and moved closer to Gabriel his magick flared slightly.
"One," the daemon said "your mothers magick is silver" he said the blue flame around his palm shivered slightly. "And two", he leaned forward and pulled Gabriel into a one armed hug. "I'm me sweetie" Dawn held him tightly Gabriel growled ad reluctantly Dawn let go.
"Don't call me that" Dawn laughed then his face switched to a serious expression in an instant his magick jumped and landed on the stone wall it sat there pulsating slightly like a freaky jellyfish. The daemon griped both of Gabriel's shoulders "Gabriel, answer me properly okay. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine I've got a few scratches and bruises but I'm okay" Dawn shook his head.
"I didn't mean it like that. Cuts heal and scars fade but are you okay?"
"I don't understand" Gabriel said Dawn smiled and moved one of his hands he brushed Gabriel's hair out of the vampyres face and frowned when Gabriel flinched.
"I take that as a no" he said gently.
"Dawn will you stop talking to me in riddles you know I hate it"
"I meant your mind, sweetie" Dawn said "you never used to mind me doing that and now you're flinching" Gabriel growled.
"Then it gives you a good reason not to do it doesn't it?" he snapped and turned to walk away.
"It does" Dawn said thoughtfully "but its not going to happen" Dawn caught up to Gabriel a few steps down the tunnel. His freaky light seemed to roll after him.
"It will happen Dawn" Gabriel snarled as the daemon came up behind him, Dawn just laughed.
"You wish" the daemon said.
"Actually Dawn I do" Gabriel said.
"Why?" Dawn's face wasn't smiling anymore. "Surely it's better than being alone all the time"
"Is it?" Gabriel growled. "I'd rather be alone than be fawned over all the time"
"Really?" Dawn snapped he stopped Gabriel with a hand on the vampyres shoulder Gabriel's blue eyes looked at him. "Enlighten me" the daemon said. Gabriel slapped the hand away and tried to carry on walking. Dawn gripped the back of his collar the vampyre stopped the bruise on his neck complaining at his now tight shirt collar.
"Let me go" Gabriel hissed
"I don't have time for this" Gabriel shouted he tore forward ripping his shirt then he turned to the daemon. "You know Dawn, in your own way you're as bad as her. The problem is you don't realize it." He snarled and turned walking away. Dawn stood thunderstruck for a moment then he frowned and lunged forward he grabbed the vampyre and slammed him backwards into the wall holding him by the front of the ruined shirt.
"Take that back" Dawn hissed in his ear.
"No" Gabriel said loudly.
"I'm not like her" Dawn said his deep voice broke slightly as he spoke. "I'm not" Gabriel stared at him.
"You're hurting me" the vampyre said. Dawn loosened his grip but didn't let go.
"I'm not like her" he said again "I do what I do because I care"
"So does she" Gabriel said
"No she doesn't she doesn't care"
"Dawn she does it because apparently she loves me" Gabriel snarled.
"She's a liar" Dawn growled "I'm not"
"I don't care" Gabriel said "you both tell me the same thing. You do what you do because you care. Because you loveme." Dawn said nothing. "so why would that make me believe you over her?" Dawn wasn't sure what to say to this.
"Have I ever hurt you?" he asked.
"You are right now" Gabriel's voice had become toneless and quiet, his eyes were blank.
"I don't mean too" Dawn let him go.
"You may not mean to Dawn, but you do" Gabriel shifted Hyperion slightly to stop her digging into his wing. "Maybe not physically but up here" Gabriel tapped his temple with a sharp claw.
"I'm sorry" Dawn sounded like he was going to burst into tears.
"Dawn" Gabriel sighed. "You're not like her" Gabriel shook his head. "but you need to let me live"
"I do" the daemon sniffed.
"No" Gabriel lit a cigarette "since I've been in the midway I cant walk two feet without you being there. I can't have a bad day without you trying to cheer me up or make it better"
"I don't like seeing you sad" Dawn said.
"Then leave me to it" Gabriel said "I can sort myself out" Dawn nodded slowly.
"Okay" he said reluctantly Gabriel suddenly frowned. "What?"
"I gave the map to Morgan"
"They must be miles away by now"

Ah Beng
|Ah Beng
Ah Beng is a stereotype applied to a certain group of young Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia. The female equivalent of an Ah Beng is an Ah Lian (Chinese: 阿莲; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: a-lián).[1]
Ah Beng is usually used as a derogatory term for someone. Ah Beng usually means that someone is not highly educated, is unsophisticated, and operates within secret societies and street gangs. Ah Lians are regarded as bimbos, and are stereotyped as anti-intellectual, superficial, materialistic, and shallow.
Ah Beng comes from the romanization of the Hokkien pronunciation of 阿明 (Pe̍h-ōe-jī: a-bêng). 明 is a word commonly used in the names of Chinese males in the region, thus the term "Ah Beng" alludes to their commonness. In the Cantonese-speaking parts of Malaysia, Ah Beng is also known as lala zai. 'Lala' has no actual meaning in itself, while 'zai' (pronounced 'chai') means 'boy'. 'Lala zai' refers to individuals who speak Manglish and possess a strong preference for gaudy fashions or hairstyles.
In popular culture[edit]
Ah Bengs have been featured in several Singaporean films, including:
- Army Daze (1996) — A play, later made into a film, depicting the melting pot of National Service in Singapore. One of the characters is named after the term.
- Money No Enough (1998) —[2] a film exploring the trials and tribulations of the Chinese-speaking people of Singapore (who make up the majority of the island's population).
- 15: The Movie (2003) — "The adventure of five fifteen-year-old boys in Singapore: estranged to every social reference, except for that of appearance and close friendships, they live their lives distant from their families and school, passing their days in a complete state of indolence in the search of experiences, at times even physically painful (tattoos, piercing, wounds)."[3]
- S11 (2006) —[4] another film.
- Taxi! Taxi! (2013) — a 2013 Singaporean comedy film based on the 2010 work Diary Of A Taxi Driver by Cai Mingjie, said to be "Singapore's most well-educated taxi-driver".
The stereotypical Ah Beng was the title character in the television series Phua Chu Kang, played by Gurmit Singh. The fact that Gurmit Singh has a mixed ancestry including Indian, Japanese, and Chinese blood makes his convincing portrayal of an uneducated Chinese man even more notable. In the show, Chu Kang's brother, Phua Chu Beng, is humorously nicknamed Ah Beng, despite being an articulate, educated architect, the complete antithesis of an Ah Beng.[5]

We are staying at the Tagadirt Hotel in August and was wondering can we pay to use the sun loungers at any of the roped off hotels? I suspect the hotel pool will be busy so think it will be better to head for the nearby beach.
We are staying at the Tagadirt Hotel in August and was wondering can we pay to use the sun loungers at any of the roped off hotels? I suspect the hotel pool will be busy so think it will be better to head for the nearby beach.
I can't recall seeing a private roped-off section of beach belonging to Tagadirt Hotel. But although I stayed at Tagadirt, I used some private parts of the beach belonging to otherr hotels at 25 Dirhams for a sunlounger. However, that was in early December 2012. I am sure that it would cost more in August, assuming you are lucky to find one that would accommodate you as non-guest.
The main swimming pool at Tagadirt is rather small, and it will be busy during August, given the fact that the hotel is very popular for its value and location. Sun loungers would be at primiums. My tip to you is to opt for a ground floor room. As soon as you open the door you would be just few feets away form the swimming pool, (Not recommended for sleep-walkers!!!) and very likely to find a sun lounger almost on your door step.
Good luck
Yes Cas I don't think the Tagadirt has a private area on the beach :-(. I was just wondering if hotels open to non-residents. I guess I will have to see when we go, hopefully a security guard/sun bed attendant will appreciate a tip lol.
Thanks for the tip on the hotel room, I will ask on check in as we arrive just after lunchtime so hopefully we will have the pick of some rooms. I have read the ones by the road/English pub are to be avoided.
If the sunloungers are empty you can pay to use them. However as you are going in high season this may not be possible.
I read an article not long ago that there were loungers available on a part of the beach (opposite the restaurant area) which were specifically for non-patrons of hotels.
I can't trace this article now but the rates were reasonable but still during peak season even these may be fully occupied.
All the same, I would'nt fancy parking myself on the beach whilst it was over crowded or the loungers to close together.
I think you're right John
Hi Steve ,3 or 4 of the restaurant's at the top end of the promenade have sunbed's for their customers they used to be free but now there is a small charge,we have used these a lot they will bring you drinks and you can use their toilets.The Caribbean village do a day pass 5 pools and Al . Good if you have children with you.
Excellent thanks Swanjack.
Food and drink near the loungers would be good, we don't mind paying to use them. If it's too busy we will buy a windbreaker etc and just lie on the beach at one end.
Steve, if you go down the steps to the right when you come out of your hotel and turn right at the bottom when you're on Boulevard du 20. Walk about 150 yards up that street (past The English Pub on your right and Atlas Hotel on your left) until you come to the main entrance to the beach on your left called Place Al Wahda. Walk down to the beach there and as you hit the sand just in front of McDonalds, Pizza Hut and a number of other restaurants/bars there are sun loungers open to the public and it's privately roped off. It's only a 10 minute stroll from your hotel. Hope that helps?
Thanks professor, that really does help.
I'm off mid August so I will post back what it costs to rent etc.
hi yes go down to the beach,,near macdonalds thers a restaurant le vendome,,beds opposite belong to an english lady but aziz runs it and hes fab,,,drinks can be brought to the beds,,waiter serviced or your belongings are well safe if you pop up to the bar restaurant. ask for aziz and say hello from karim and debbie and chance. beds are 20 dirham,,approx 1.50.

HMS Hope
A short narrative of soldiers, sailing home to England, set in the Victorian Era.
Originally as a creative writing exercise in school.
The water crashed against the boat for the umpteenth time, and the man next to me retched over the side, into the tepid ocean below.
Seasick fool, emptying his stomach the whole journey home.
Home, to England. How I long to see the perfect ivory cliffs of Dover once more, to be surrounded with the soft scent of honey blossom and lavender, the smell of my little cottage and my little wife.
The boy behind me whimpers again. He is barely eighteen, cannot yet endure the horror of war. "Quiet!" the captain snarls to the boy.
The boy will learn, as we all have, how to deal with the horrors we commit, us, the Royal Marines.
He whimpers again, louder this time, followed by a strangled scream. The ruthless captain cuts him down, his bloodied corpse is thrown overboard unceremoniously, and all was silent again on the HMS Hope.

Maintaining our collection is an ongoing process. Archaeology, restoration and conservation are a vital part of the museum's work and many of the heritage treasures that come to us need repair.
While we operate on government funding, we rely on additional revenue. We warmly welcome financial donations (tax deductible) to help us retrieve, conserve, maintain and display our growing collection. You can also donate to the Australian Maritime Foundation to help the museum buy important objects up for auction or at private sales.
We welcome enquiries from organisations and individuals offering specialist services that can help preserve our collection. This could include the donation of goods and services at no charge such as marine coatings and adhesives, or materials related to shipyard services and transport. Businesses can also get involved through Sponsorship or Corporate Membership.

The museum's replica of James Cook's HMB Endeavour continues to be a vital educational resource for both adults and children. Throughout the year, Endeavour sails to ports around Australia, allowing thousands of visitors to climb aboard and glimpse a sailor's life during Cook's epic 1768–71 world voyage.
Students can also explore the iconic ship from their home or classroom. Using the latest camera technology from CSIRO, our education team are now able to take students on a virtual tour. Watch the video
We need your help to support Endeavour's sailing and education programs. Any donation, large or small, can make a big difference.
American citizens are invited to make financial or cultural artefact donations to the Australian National Maritime Museum through American Friends of the Museum. This program supports research, exhibitions and co-operative ventures that explore and develop maritime links between the USA and Australia.
The American Friends of the Australian National Maritime Museum was established in the USA to garner American support for our museum which is home to a permanent exhibition and collection in the USA Gallery. This was funded as the USA Bicentennial Gift from the people of America to all Australians in 1988.
The gallery hosts diverse exhibitions about maritime history, science, technology, art and design that connects the USA and Australia, and is a meeting place for trans-Pacific business networks.
American Friends of the Museum warmly welcome donations of cash or artefacts from American citizens in support of the USA Gallery collection and programs. Based in the USA, American donors can gain tax benefits under Section 5501C3 of the USA Internal Revenue Service Code.

The Bill Lane USA Gallery Fellowship is open to scholars and museum professionals. It aims to foster professional relationships with key American cultural institutions in Australia and the USA, to contribute to USA Gallery interpretative and research programs, and to develop synergies between our National Maritime Collection and respective US collections.
Some of the museum's greatest treasures have come from generous donations from organisations or individuals. Financial support has also seen the preservation and acquisition of some incredible artefacts and projects. Here are some examples of donated objects and how donated funds have enhanced our collection.
In 1959, a 23-year-old Ben Lexcen designed and built Taipan, a revolutionary lightweight 18-foot skiff that changed the shape of racing skiffs in Australia forever. Taipan had several owners before it was donated to the museum in 1986. Around 20 years later, the Australian sailing community pooled funds for the museum to research and restore this design masterpiece. Led by Lexcen's friend, Carl Ryves 50 donors contributed well over $100,000 in cash and goods in kind. You can see the restored Taipan on display in the museum.
In the 1950s a group of artists - mostly waterside workers (wharfies) - painted a remarkable mural on the walls of the Waterside Workers Federation union canteen in Sussex Street, Sydney. The painting narrated the history of Australia's working class from the 1930s Depression to World War II. In 1996, the union's successor, the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), offered the mural to the museum.
Over the years, the 8.3-metre long painted plaster had split and its varnish was flaking. The museum launched an appeal for $100,000 to transport, conserve and provide ongoing support for this important historical work.
The target was quickly reached thanks to generous donations from MUA branches, the Maritime Workers of Australia Credit Union and individual maritime workers, shipping companies and other corporate supporters. This extraordinary 'social document exalting the power of unity and the workers' struggle against oppression' has now been fully restored.
This first edition book titled, A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson in New South Wales: Including an Accurate Description of the Situation of the Colony: Of the Natives And of its Natural Productions, was published in 1793. It was written by Watkin Tench and is widely recognised as the earliest authentic First Fleet description of European settlement in Australia. It contains rare insights into first contact with Australia's Indigenous population and the way that the Europeans sought to claim and settle on Aboriginal land. The book's original owner, Betty Rosamund Baxter, died in 2010. Betty requested that the book be placed in a library so that others could have access to this significant chapter in Australian history. Her son John Baxter spent a year trying to find a library that would take care of this precious piece of history. We were delighted to accept the book as a donation to the museum's Vaughan Evans Library by John in 2014.
Initially thought to be from HMB Endeavour, it is now believed this sternpost originally came from another famous ship commanded by Captain James Cook - HMS Resolution. Cook made his second and third voyages on board the Royal Navy ship to the Pacific and through the Northwest Passage in 1772 and 1776 respectively. It was during this third and final voyage that Cook was killed in Hawaii in 1779. The Resolution went on to service the navy in the East Indies before it was captured in 1782 by the French warship Sphinx. It is believed that Resolution worked under different names in the French whaling industry until it was finally condemned at Newport, Rhode Island in 1792.
This sternpost was generously donated to the Australian National Maritime Museum by the Newport Historical Society in Rhode Island, both in recognition of its substantial historical value as well as to the cultural bond between two countries.

The Stranger With The Broken Face
Kyle was already exhausted when he entered the bunker seeking rest, and a refuge from a hand-me-down political mantle. He entered in a graceful, silent manner, and then slammed the door with cold abruptness. He had the blood-shot attention of everyone in the hall except one.
An old woman, who he'd never seen before. The left half of her face was a pale, ageless mask of a skin-tone much more lively than her wrinkled and craggy skin. She was knitting with strips of ragged synth-fiber, callous hands and sharp, pristine nails.
With a commanding confidence, Kyle approached and stood before the stranger who sat among the orphans, as if she was their nanny. However, he found an uncontrollable jerk in his left knee, for it had been years since Kyle had seen anyone alive over the age of thirty-seven. After a while, they became weak to the plagues.
One eye looked up at him, electric blue with clear whites. The other, green and tired, sagged its gaze intently on the strands and needles. Half-masked, it was an ugly, lopsided face; which wasn't outside of the ordinary in the Dead World. It was split unevenly, as if it were the broken face of a China doll, thrust in to torture the old woman.
Finally, the needles stopped and the green eye, the real eye, met his gaze.
"Who are you, and what are you?"
"My answers would but give you more questions to ask, Master Ky."
"Who let you into this facility?" he demanded.
"I flashed my card, as I always have. The metal doors open for me. This is, after all, my facility."
"Show me!"
Calmly, the old woman tapped at the lanyard around her neck, from which hung a well-worn white swipe-card. Kyle read her rank: Corporate Executive.
"Your first mistake, boy," she spoke sternly, "was assuming your brother was the first of his kind. . . Oliver Stone was merely the first of the common breed." She only had half a nose, bent against the prosthetics and the ambient flash of an olfactory sensor. She was less human than any orphan in the fortress, that's for sure.
"Why do you seek shelter here? We have not seen or accessed traces of the former inhabitants of this structure in seven years."
She coughed, a wheezing rasp that grated Kyle nerves, "Tonight, the fat man falls once more."
Kyle recognized the ancient code name instantly, and felt the walls close in around him. He stiffened, and left the old woman to her knitting, yelling, "Seal off the bunker, now!"
* * *
Loyal young women and men responded, sounding the alarm and rushing people further into the stronghold. And in the hustle of the crowd, the old woman approached Kyle from behind and rested one hand upon his tense shoulder, "You and your troops need to awaken to your full potential if you intend to pull out of here. This bunker won't last a standard modern siege for more than a week."
"Stop speaking in riddles, hag."
"Evolution left a few tricks up your sleeve that you don't know about, kid. Things those scientists didn't intend to awaken," she told him, as she reached out with her other hand, into the crowd.
A headless teddy bear that had been discarded in the panic flew off the grated floor and into her ancient grip. With her thumb, she pushed in the cotton that bled out from its neck.
Kyle turned slowly, in silence, gaping. Again, he met her unmatching eyes with his own, and knew that from that moment onward, the fight for survival in Dead World would be a lot more interesting.
"I can teach you to bend the radiation to your will. I can teach you to clean the world, and clean yourself." The old woman paused to cough again. "But in doing so, I am also giving you the building blocks to pave a road to destruction far worse than the atomics soaring towards us right now."
Kyle's mind was already projecting lessons, passing it on to a chosen few who would be responsible for teaching others.
"So I, CEO Agatha Kimunori, offer you a pact. What I teach you, you pass to the righteous and use for good."
Silence hung between them like an old hunter's trap. Kyle did not know what to say, as they both walked into the depths of the bunker with the last of the orphans to come in from the cold streets. Good and evil are labels of the judgmental. We are neither, we simply are. Will she understand that?

10 Reasons you must have a Digital Marketing Strategy
1. You're disoriented
Companies without a digital strategy don't have precise strategic objective for what they want to gain new customers or building broad relationships with the existing customer. And if you do not have goals you likely don't bring enough assets to reach your goals and you don't evaluate through web analytics whether you're hitting those goals.
2. You will never know your online market share
Customer demand for online services may be under calculated if you haven"t researched this. Most probably you won't understand your own online marketplace: these dynamics will be quite distinct to traditional old channels with different kind of client profile and behavior, propositions, competitors and options for marketing communications.
3. Most of the Existing and start-up competitors will gain from your market share
If you're not allotting enough resources to your digital marketing part with no clearly defined strategies, then your competitors will surely going to eat your margin!
4. You don't have a authoritative online value proposition
A well-defined value proposition for online customers will surely help you to differentiate your online services encouraging both existing and new customers to engage initially and stay loyal for lifetime.
5. You don't know about your online customers well enough
It's generally said that digital is "most quantitative medium ever". But tools like Google Analytics and similar will only tell you about volumes not the sentiment. You will need other ways of website user feedback mechanism to recognize your weak points and ways to address them.
6. You're not unified
It's all too accepted for digital to be finished in silos whether that's an expert digital marketer, sitting in IT department or a particular digital agency. It's easier that way to package online marketing into an agreeable chunk. Everyone acknowledge that digital media work awesome when unified with traditional media and high response channels.
7. Digital doesn't have enough resources/budget
Deficient resource will be dedicated to both execution and planning e-marketing and there is ascertain to be a absence of specific specialist e-marketing skills which will make it quite tedious to respond to competitive action simultaneously.
8. You're wasting resources through duplication
Even if you have ample resource, it may be wasted. This is especially in larger companies where you see different chunks of the marketing organization procuring different tools or utilizing different agencies for executing same online marketing jobs.
9. You're not agile to compete.
If you observe at the top online brands like Dell, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Zappos they're all flexible and dynamic in nature – trialing new approaches and horizons to win their audience.
10. You're really not optimizing anymore.
Every organization with a website will surely have amazing analytics, though many senior managers don't assure that their teams make or have that much time to review and act accordingly. Just once a strategy hits you to get the basics, then you can proceed to endless improvement of the key facets like site user experience, search marketing, social media marketing and email.
That was our top 10 problematic areas that can be averted with a well thought digital marketing strategy.

The Denouement
I wake up first. After enjoying the rare chance to watch Spock sleep, I wake him. He doesn't mind. Gives us time to have the dessert we skipped last night.
Once we're dressed, we walk to Sarek's brownstone. There's no wind. The snow is holding off for a little while. Spock agrees it's actually warm enough to enjoy the air.
T'Pring opens the door, taking our coats and inquiring about my health. I'm fine I say, secretly amused. Spock silently scolds me. I mostly ignore him. T'Pring tells us that Sarek is in the library.
He's alone when we get there. T'Pau is meditating, he tells us. I gladly accept the coffee T'Pring offers me. She reluctantly gives Spock a cup of his favorite tea.
Spock and Sarek speak about family matters. Who is marrying whom. Who has recently given birth. Who is attending university and where. It's a strange sort of conversation but not an unusual one for father and son.
When T'Pau enters, we adjourn to the dining room and enjoy brunch. It's a surprisingly casual meal. Much of the usual formality absent.
/It is because they are pleased that you are with us,/ Spock tells me.
I'm not so sure but I accept his explanation. The conversation centers mainly on family again. I pay enough attention to avoid being rude. I want to be more involved but I can't focus.
/We will figure it out,/ Spock promises me.
As soon as we can after we finish eating, Spock makes our excuses. We express to T'Pau our gratitude once, then bid her farewell and return home. The phone is ringing as we enter our apartment.
"Hello?" Spock answers. It's Giotto. He has information. Spock invites him to come around. I find some aspirin and wash it down with bourbon. Spock disapproves even as he understands.
Not many minutes pass before Sam arrives. They obtained a search warrant for Yakovlev's hotel room.
"Mr. Chekov said that they were staying with the McCoys," Spock says. I can feel his confusion. It's the same as mine.
"They were, officially. Chekov still is. The maestro had the room for business dealings," Sam tells us.
"What business?" I ask.
"Apparently he was working both sides. He was mining for information. Then selling it to the highest bidder. He was hoping to talk with you about what he knew," Sam tells Spock.
"To whom was he planning to sell the information?" Spock asks.
"You if you would buy it. Or if not, he was hoping to find out what you were doing and sell that info to Montgomery Scott. His intel was available to the highest bidder."
Spock shook his head at that, his confusion still matching mine and buzzing in my head. "What's his connection to all this, though?" I ask. There's still a piece missing.
"We haven't quite figured that out yet. But we think the key is Kheri Uhura. We found his phone number and address on a pad in Yakovlev's hotel room. And a bundle of money. American. English pounds. East African shillings."
"East African shillings," Spock says, glancing at me. I can feel his surprise and his concern.
"Yeah. I found this in his room," Sam says, taking a handkerchief out of his pocket. Embroidered in one corner is JTK.
"Did you take it?" I ask, staring down at it like a snake set to strike.
"It would look bad for you if someone else found it, Jim," Sam points out, giving it to me. "How did it end up with him?"
"I gave it to Miss Uhura when she came to see me. This is her lipstick." I look up at Spock who looks unhappy.
"Seems Miss Uhura has some explaining to do," Sam says in a hard voice.
"You need this, Sam," I say, returning it to him. "I'm in the clear. On T'Pau's word. And from the fingerprints you did find."
Sam nods, accepting the handkerchief back.
"Will you be able to return it to evidence without being discovered?" Spock asks in concern for Sam.
"Sure. Not a problem," Sam says, putting it back in his breast pocket. "I've requested a search warrant for Kheri Uhura's place. Tell me his connection."
"T'Pau intimated that Uhura may be the primary financier of LARK. He is the sponsor of the Endowed Chair which brought Dr. Montgomery Scott to America," Spock explains.
"I heard of Uhura's interest in space travel. But where does the maestro fit into it?" Sam asks, the question we are all considering.
"And why was he killed?" I add. "What does Cupcake have to do with any of this?"
"And the McCoys," Sam says, shaking his head. "I'm thinking of paying a visit to Dr. McCoy and his beautiful wife."
I nod, looking over a Spock. He's worried. But I'm not entirely sure why.
"May I accompany you?" Spock asks, surprising me. I hadn't expected that.
"Why?" Sam asks. He's not opposed to the idea. Just wants to know Spock's reasons.
"They can't lie to him," I say.
"Yeah. Sure," Sam says. "I need to give them a call. You don't drop in on them even if you are the police." He goes to our kitchen to use the phone.
/You think they are involved,/ I say.
/In some manner, they are. I think that they are responsible for your arrest./
/Oh,/ I respond. /Hire me. They kill the Maestro. I have motive and history./
When Sam returns, he says that they are at the Doctor's city apartment and will meet with Sam and Spock as soon as they arrive. Once they've gone, I sit down and write out the pieces of the puzzle. Maybe I can put them together and get the whole picture.
Sam and Spock talk with the Doctor and Miss Uhura. Their attorney Christopher Pike is there too. Spock's sure it's not a coincidence.
After some convincing, she admits that her father made her hire me. She didn't want to. She and Dr. McCoy had a terrible fight about it right before she came to see me the first time. Her tears were real. Just like his anger was authentic when we talked to him at Jockey's Haven. He was mad that she had done it.
Sam tells them that they could be arrested. Spock tells me that they look resigned. Dr. McCoy asks Nyota to tell them the rest. Reluctantly, she finally does even though it implicates her father.
Turns out, Mr. Uhura wants to be responsible for the return to space. He doesn't especially care how it's accomplished. If Spock is right, he wants to discredit him by discrediting me. Then Dr. Scott can take over Spock's research.
If Dr. Scott is right, Mr. Uhura can take credit. As his backer. They say that Dr. Yakovlev had the missing bit of technology that would make Dr. Scott's theory workable. He was trying to sell phytrochemical montuaccelerater to Mr. Uhura for three times the agreed-upon price. If he refused, he'd sell it either to Spock or to the highest bidder
/That's why they had him killed,/ I tell Spock in realization. He asks them.
Miss Uhura says she had nothing to do with Dr. Yakovlev being killed. She's pretty sure her father hired Cupcake to do it but he protected her from that information. Her father was willing to use her. But only as long as he was sure she wouldn't be in trouble herself. Involving me was easy enough. She felt bad that I was arrested but knew I'd be exonerated. Mr. Uhura never said why she was to hire me. Just that she needed to.
"This is not sufficient to have my clients arrested," Mr. Pike tells Sam.
"No it is not. Nor can we have Mr. Uhura arrested unless we have more substantial evidence," Sam agrees reluctantly. "I did find this in his hotel room."
Spock says that Miss Uhura looks pale when she sees my handkerchief in Sam's hand.
"Nyota," Dr. McCoy says quietly.
"Mr. Kirk gave it to me the first time I met with him," she says. "It was in the pocket of my mink."
"How did Dr. Yakovlev end up with it?" Mr. Pike asks her.
"I honestly don't know," she says. Spock says she's telling the truth. That's good enough for me.
"Do you know the whereabouts of the phytrochemical montuaccelerater?" Spock asks. I can tell it's simple curiosity. He doesn't believe it's the key to space travel although some others do.
"I don't know," Miss Uhura says. "I don't know if my father recovered it or not. You would have to ask Dr. Scott if he has it."
"Is it the key to space flight?" Dr. McCoy asks Spock.
"In my opinion it is not essential. There are others who take a differing view."
"Like Dr. Scott," Dr. McCoy confirms.
They chat for a few more minutes, Sam requesting that they not leave town. If they go to their manor house, they need to let him know. Mr. Pike doesn't like it but he doesn't tell Sam no.
/What's next?/ I ask Spock as he and Sam leave their apartment building.
Spock asks Sam who is not sure. Spock suggests that they visit Dr. Scott. Sam agrees.
/Can you come collect me?/ I request. /I'm not in trouble with Dr. Scott./
Spock makes the request of Sam who agrees. They swing by our apartment and I go down and get into the car. It takes only a few minutes to arrive at the University and we park right outside the physics lab.
Spock uses his key to open the main door and we proceed to the lab reserved for the visiting Physics Chair. Sure enough, Dr. Scott is there. And so is Stron.
"Stron," Spock says. Stron stares at him, his breathing shallow. He looks guilty even for a full Vulcan. There is a definite green tint to his cheeks and tips of his ears.
"Dr. Spock," Stron responds, slowly turning his head to look at Dr. Scott who is watching them with his mouth open.
"What are you doing here?" Spock asks although it's pretty clear. Stron is wearing a lab coat, safety goggles, and oversized gloves. The equipment you wear when you are assisting in experiments involving acceleration of relavistic Kepler-energy.
"Why shouldn't he be here?" Dr. Scott finally asks. There's no anger to his words. Only confusion.
"He is my lab assistant," Spock explains. We can all see the shock on Dr. Scott's face.
"You lied to me? Vulcans don't lie," Dr. Scott says. Now he's angry. And surprised.
"I did not lie, Doctor. I told a version of the truth," Stron says. His voice is soft. We know he knows he caught.
"A version of the truth," Dr. Scott repeats, his accent even thicker. "Dr. Spock, I had no knowledge that he works for you still. He told me he had completed his last assignment."
"For the semester," Spock clarifies. "We have not yet started the next cycle."
Dr. Scott turns to Stron, his face red. "Vulcans don't lie."
"We do when it is convenient," Spock says, all disappointment and pity. "How much did you tell him?"
"None of it, Professor. I was planning to tell you what I had discovered," Stron claims.
"Do not compound your lies with more," Spock says.
"He dinna tell me a thing about your work, Professor," Dr. Scott says.
"How long has he been working for you?" I ask. Seems germane to the conversation.
"A week. Since right after New Year's. But no any longer. Clear out your things."
Stron does it, leaving as quickly as his dignity will allow.
"Why are you here?" Dr. Scott finally asks, realizing that we have invaded his lab with a policeman in tow.
Sam explains who he is and why we have come. About Dr. Yakovlev trying to extort money from Kheri Uhura. About Miss Uhura hiring me so they could implicate me in his murder. "Do you know anything about the location of the phytrochemical montuaccelerater?"
"I don't," Dr. Scott says, thinking it over. "The maestro did mention something to me about the LARK at the Christmas to-do. But I paid him no mind. The Russians have it backwards, if you ask me. Your theory is workable," he says to Spock. "Theirs is not."
"Does that mean there's no need for this phytrochemical montuaccelerater?" Sam asks, utterly confused.
"It could be key," Dr. Scott says. "I'm na so sure."
"Spock?" Sam asks.
"I believe it will simplify the process. I do not believe it is imperative to the development of a working model," Spock says. "Stron was of the belief that it would be impossible to achieve space travel without it."
"Which could explain him working for you," I say to Dr. Scott. "I'm thinking he wanted to see if you would be willing to pay more for it."
"You're saying he's tied to Mr. Uhura?" Sam asks.
"I don't see any other reason for him to work for both Spock and Dr. Scott. Playing the two sides against each other," I say.
"That does make sense," Spock agrees.
"Ah, laddie, it does," Dr. Scott says. "Where do you suppose he's gone?"
"To Mr. Uhura's," Sam says, the light bulb blinding us all when it comes on. "Can you get back home by yourselves?" he asks us.
"I can take them, Mr. Giotto. Na worries there," Scott assures him.
"Thank you. I'll call you as soon as I can," Sam says, hurrying out. Good thing we came in his police car instead of our roadster.
"May I see your work?" Spock asks Dr. Scott who readily agrees. They talk about Scott's theory and discover they have a lot more in common than either of them thought. By the time we've been there an hour, they agree to work together rather than in competition. Dr. Scott has some reservations about what Mr. Uhura might think but the chances are pretty good he'll end up in jail and have no say at all.
Dr. Scott drives us to our apartment and we invite him to stay for dinner, a simple affair but he enjoys it. As we are finishing our dessert and coffee, Sam calls. He says he's at the police station and if it's okay, he'll just stop by. We naturally agree and I put on a fresh pot of coffee.
Sam comes up, accepting the coffee after I've taken his overcoat. He settles on the red armchair. I sit next to Spock on the sofa. Scotty's in the black armchair. We get comfortable. Sam says it will be a long story.
Turns out that Stron was working for Mr. Uhura. Trying to get the inside information on both theories. The maestro was also trying to harvest the info to sell it to the Russians who worry about their national pride if America gets back to space first. The maestro never had the phytrochemical montuaccelerater. He was actually in the market. Thought by trying to extort money from Mr. Uhura, he'd turn to a different source and Yakovlev would steal it from there. Mr. Uhura got fed up with him offering then withdrawing it, upping the ante, and never producing the goods. He threatened Yakovlev who finally confessed he didn't have it at all. That's when Uhura had Yakovlev killed. And framing me for it would discredit Spock's work.
Some of this Uhura told Sam. Some he discovered by going through the ledgers on Mr. Uhura's desk, search warrant in hand. Uhura's high-powered attorney tried to stop Sam from searching his mansion but he couldn't find anything wrong with the search warrant and was powerless to stop the search. Stron turned out to be a wealth of information when Sam threatened to have him arrested. Which he had no grounds to do. Stron hadn't actually done anything illegal. But the handcuffs were enough to loosen his tongue.
Miss Uhura and Dr. McCoy were to be interviewed the next morning. Sam didn't think they would be arrested. He believed them that they were victims in all this. Miss Uhura would probably take over the railroad business now that her father was disgraced.
We talked well into the night, the four of us enjoying our own company. Who knew that two physicists would have so much in common with regular Joes?
/You are many things, t'hy'la. Regular is not one of them,/ Spock tells me when we are finally in bed together.
"Thanks, I think," I say before he silences me with a kiss.
I return to my office the next week, with Sam's blessings. The police tape is down. Gaila has had the office swept and dusted. It's good to back at work.
Ten after eight, Gaila sashays in. She smiles when she sees me at my desk. "I missed you," she says, her red curls tumbling down when she takes off her hat.
"Same here," I say. "What'd I miss?"
She shrugs and leaves my office, returning five minutes later with a notebook and a cup of steaming coffee. "I paid the rent. I paid myself. Phone bill's due tomorrow." She ticks off each item, barely pausing to breathe.
"How much do I pay you?" I ask when she pauses.
"Not enough," she laughs.
"You're right about that. Give yourself a raise."
"You got it," she agrees. "Do I get to decide how much?"
"You know how much we can afford," I remind her.
"Sure do. And next month I'm going to take my own case," she tells me.
"That's fine," I agree.
"So what happened after you were arrested?" she says, all eager and waiting to know.
I explain about the two competing theories which turn out not to be so different after all. Spock and Scotty are working together now.
She nods in approval at that, asking when she will get to meet Dr. Scott. This is after she asks if he's married. I pretend I don't know why she's asking.
"Was that Mr. Uhura arrested?" she asks me. She's read about him in the paper. Doesn't like him one bit.
"He was. Released on bail. Sam thinks they have a pretty good chance of a conviction. Stron is going to testify for complete immunity. Prosecutor is working a deal with Cupcake in exchange for his testimony."
"Poor Laurel," Gaila says, shaking her head.
"Yeah," I say. "Miss Uhura and Dr. McCoy aren't in trouble. They didn't know why he said she had to hire me. And it's hard not to do what your father tells you."
"She seemed so nice," Gaila says.
"You never met her," I point out.
Gaila shrugs. "Is T'Pau still being nice to you?"
"She is. Mind melds will do that. Sarek is less cold toward me."
"Good. I'd like to give him a piece of my mind," she says. She has never liked the way he treats me. Always been fiercely loyal.
"Any clients call or come by while I was out?" I ask her.
"Four. I have their names and numbers. Don't take the case of that Jonathan Archer. Can't find his prize beagle. You don't do lost pets," she says.
"Mr. Archer is the district attorney," I remind her. "Don't you think it's in my best interest to have him on our side?"
She frowns at me. After giving me the list, including Mr. Archer, she leaves my office. I hear her typing. I sip my coffee and look out the widow at the gently falling snow. It's good to be back.
A/N: So there you have it. Hope you enjoyed reading it! I sure had fun writing it. I am considering writing more Adventures of Private Detective James T. Kirk but I'm not sure. What do you think, gentle reader? One installment enough? Would you enjoy more? Hmm...

Curved design to offset your living room
You'll really bring a dramatic visual accent to your lounge with the HS8 and its slick curved design.
It's made to perfectly match 55" to 65" LG OLED curved TVs such as the EG960V, so you can complete the look of your entertainment area while enjoying the best combination of sound and vision.
Big sounds for big entertainment
To complement the sound bar's 160 W, four-channel sound output, the LG HS8 includes a wireless subwoofer that fills out the low end with 200 W of power.
You'll feel like you're in the midst of onscreen dogfights or in the front row of a gig with deep, clear bass definition and a dialogue-specific channel on the sound bar elevates speech to screen level so that you won't miss a word.
Multi-room and high-resolution audio
The LG HS8 is part of the LG Music Flow system, so you can connect it with other LG MusicFlow speakers for an expansive home audio experience.
Use two extra MusicFlow speakers as wireless rear speakers to create a full surround sound system in Home Theatre Mode, enhance what you're listening to using Stereo Mode, or play audio back over several multi-room speakers at once via Group Play mode.
This home cinema system also supports high resolution audio files including FLAC, ALAC, WAV and AIFF, so you can enjoy all that gorgeous full-spectrum sound in unadulterated quality.
Wireless connectivity
Connect your LG HS8 Sound Bar to your TV via HDMI or use the LG Sound Sync feature (via Bluetooth) to establish a wireless sound connection with compatible LG TVs. Since the subwoofer is wireless, you can position it wherever you like in your living room for a neater appearance and for the best-possible bass response.
Google Cast ready
Because it's Google Cast ready, you'll be able to send songs from your favourite apps like Deezer and Google Play at the press of a button with the HS8.
The sound bar also features built-in WiFi and an Ethernet port so you can connect directly to your home network.
Don't forget your HDMI cables
Check out our range of HDMI cables to connect your input devices and to make sure your new sound bar works perfectly, with improved transfer speeds. Look out for the Sandstrom Silver Series HDMI cables with their lifetime warranty.

Oh F**K, it's an airship!
Suddenly, an airship crashed headlong into the old man, killing him instantly. The boy ducked and skittered out of the goliath's path, abandoning his ill-gotten sweets. The monolithic vehicle rammed its nose through the supporting wall of the structure, sending bricks toppling down in a half-mudslide, half-monsoon of head-bashing silicate.
Finding haven in the doorway of a nearby apartment building, the boy pressed himself against the chattering wood. Splinters or no, he would be invisible.

This doesnt make any sense though.....Crick is not close to Major League ready either. So you are contradicting yourself if you think that my statement is wrong.
I know what you are saying. But what you are saying is absolutely incorrect. Crick's expected arrival into the Major Leagues is the 2015 season....which is the exact same time as Chris Stratton, Clayton Blackburn, and Martin Agosta.
So like I said earlier....we have good prospects in the minor leagues....just NONE of them are close to being ready.
Agreed. I actually like Gregor Blanco as a 4th outfielder. But the way Sabean constructed this team was just a disaster from the start. Signing Torres to platoon with Blanco was absolutely idiotic. And as much as I strongly believe that Pagan's contract was exponentially too large, if we had a good left fielder, it wouldn't have mattered (obviously if he stayed healthy).
If there is anything negative that came with winning the two World Series titles in the last 3 years, its that Brian Sabean has job security. I strongly believe that he should have been fired YEARS ago, and the fact that he got lucky with his typical Sabean moves, pretty much saved his job. If we fail to make the postseason this year and next year, I will be back on the fire Sabean bandwagon.
Once again, I come back to Brett Pill. Why isnt this guy given a REAL shot, given our offensive struggles? Dude is absolutely RAKING in AAA. It just really bothers me that he has never really gotten the opportunity to play everyday, and we give Brandon Belt every chance in the world. I understand this is a business, and there is money invested in Belt and not Pill.....but if you dont want to bench Belt, why not stick Pill in left field? Give him a chance to play every day for a couple/few weeks. Lets see what he can do!
by Paul Gackle | July 25, 2013
Are the baseball gods punishing the Giants for removing their most notorious fan from the front rows of the left field bleachers?
Everyone has an explanation for why the defending World Series champions are struggling this year, but if you listen to the bleacher bums in section 139, the Curse of the Dawg is the only plausible answer.
If you're a real Giants fan, you don't need an introduction to Dawg, aka Tim Perrin of Concord. You've met the scruffy landscaper through broadcaster Mike Krukow, you remember when he was the Chicken Man during the Barry Bonds years, and you may have noticed his absence from left field since May 12, the day he reached over the fence and interfered with a flyball off the bat of Marco Scutaro.
At the time, the Giants were seven games above .500 and sitting in first place in the National League West standings.
After his ejection, Dawg said, an awful feeling sank into the pit of his stomach.
"I knew I'd messed up," Dawg said. "I felt that bad I did that — I should know better."
When Dawg, 54, returned for the Giants' next home game, he was told he could no longer take his seat up front. If he wanted to attend the game, he'd be watching from the 25th row.
The May 12 incident was Dawg's second strike; he'd interfered with a ground-rule double by J.T. Snow eight years earlier and he wasn't getting another mulligan.
Dawg, who's been a fixture at Giants games since he was in his teens in the mid-1970s, left the park with hurt feelings and hasn't returned.
A week after the incident, Ryan Vogelsong broke his right hand while batting, and three days later, Angel Pagan suffered a hamstring strain that has turned into a long-term issue. In the weeks that followed, Pablo Sandoval, Santiago Casilla, Chad Gaudin, Joaquin Arias and Jeremy Affeldt joined them on the disabled list. Entering Wednesday's game, the Giants had compiled a 22-34 record without Dawg.
Curse or no curse, the fans in left field say the experience just isn't the same without the team's No. 1 fan, which is why they're wearing orange T-shirts that say "Free the Dawg."
He adds to the atmosphere, they say, using props, like his tape measure (for home runs), magnifying glass (close calls), hook (when pitchers get pulled) and rabbit ears (when he knows the left fielder is listening to his heckles). Whenever the Giants get a hit, he runs down the front row and slaps everyone's hands; if they draw a walk, he walks.
"He's my family," said season ticket holder Sylvia Lowtznhiser. "Where is he? I miss him terribly."
Even the ushers, who claim hundreds of fans have asked about Dawg since his departure, are confused.
"He's probably given us less problems than anybody," said an usher, who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution. "He doesn't drink, he just has fun. He puts a lot of smiles in the stands."
The Giants say Dawg is free to attend games; he just can't sit up front. Dawg has offered to return without his glove, promising to stay away from the wall when the ball is hit to left field. Can a compromise be reached?
"He'd cut off his arm before he'd do that again," the usher said.
Maybe the Giants are cursed or, perhaps, they have just run out of luck after an incredible three-year run. But at this point, they might want to take Dawg up on his offer; they could use all the help they can get.

Seems plausible.

Potash Corp asks regulator for more time
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Potash Corp is asking Saskatchewan's securities regulator to uphold its shareholder rights plan, saying there are several potential buyers for the company, but that almost all need "a significant amount of time" to secure financing.
The rights plan, or poison pill, is a key Potash Corp defense against BHP Billiton's hostile takeover attempt. BHP has applied to the regulator to suspend the plan.
The hearing on the rights plan, scheduled for November 8-9 in Regina, Saskatchewan, will not be necessary if the Canadian government quashes Anglo-Australian miner BHP's $39 billion takeover bid for Canadian fertilizer giant Potash Corp next week.
The government of the province of Saskatchewan wants Ottawa to reject BHP's bid on the grounds that it is not of net benefit to Canada.

I got a little heavy last week, so let's try for something lighter.
What's your favorite color?
What's your favorite pizza toppings?
What kind of car do you drive?
What's your oldest piece of clothing?
Do you play board games? Which is your favorite?
Cat person, dog person, or animal person?
Here are my answers:
Hunter green
Pepperoni and mushrooms
Chevy Cavalier
I have a pair of black boots I bought in 1991.
I used to play board games a lot, but not anymore. My favorite was Scrabble.
I'm sort of an all animals person. We only have a cat right now, but if I had the money and the time, we'd be overrun with critters here.

Good boots last forever!! Great list, B.E.
Let's see:
According to my wardrobe - blue.
Favourite pizza topping would be a Mediterranean type mix with olives, sun dried tomatoes and spinach.
Chevy Equinox
The oldest piece of clothing I own is my wedding dress.
Yay for board games. I just got a new Scrabble set for my birthday!
We have two budgies, Banana and Dan. (Don't ask) and that's enough critters for me.

Changing your name?
Because I don't have a middle name, my new middle name will be my maiden name, and I will take my FI's last name... I still think the FI-my last name combo sounds so much cooler! Even my FI agrees!
Jackie - I have heard of situations where the groom would adopt his wife's maiden name to help continue the family lineage (especially in a family with daughters). That's love.

Liability of trustees inter se in English law
The Liability of trustees inter se in English law governs in what circumstances and to what extent a trustee in English trust law is liable for the acts and defaults of their co-trustees under English Law. In general trustees are under a duty to act jointly and have authority to act individually only if the trust instrument so provides. In principle therefore each trustee has an equal say in the management of the trust property and therefore in the event of a breach the trustees are jointly and severally liable for their actions.[1]
However, trustees are only liable for their own breach and so a unilateral action by one trustee that constitutes a breach of trust will not engage the liability of other trustee's.[2]
Equitable principles still thought to survive[edit]
In no situations where joint and several liability is engaged contribution claims between parties are governed by the operation of the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978, but, in addition there remain several equitable principles developed by the chancery division of the English Courts that are thought to remain in effect.[3] Such principles are likely to influence the court in their interpretation of the 1978 Act.[4]
Solicitor Trustees[edit]
In Head v Gould[5] was a case in English trust law concerning the indemnity of trustees inter se for a breach of a trust. Where a trustee has committed a breach of trust relying on the professional advice of a fellow solicitor trustee they were entitled to be indemnified by virtue of that reliance . It is one of the few common law situations concerning inter-trustee indemnity that is still thought to apply following the passing of the Civil Liability (Contribution) Act 1978. The rise of professional trustee companies has led to the suggestion that it may become of significant case law in the future.[6]
Miss Head and Mrs Gould were appointed trustees of certain marriage settlements, Mrs Gould was a Solicitor-Trustee. The trustees sold a house that was part of the trust property and in breach of trust paid the proceeds of the sale to a life tenant. Miss Head sought to claim that she was indemnified because of the status of her co-trustee as a solicitor. Miss Head claimed that she had acted in reliance on the professional advice of Gould. There was no evidence that this was the case and so Miss Head's claim for indemnity was unsuccessful. However, in giving judgment Kekewich J considered earlier equitable case law and considered that "I do not myself think that Bryne J or any other judge ever intended to hold that a man is bound to indemnify his co-trustee against loss merely because he was a solicitor, when that co-trustee was an active participant in the breach of trust complained of, and is not proved to have participated merely in consequence of the advice and control of the solicitor."[7]
Sole Benefit[edit]
In Bahin v Hughes[8] the situation where a sole trustee benefited from the breach of trust was considered by High Court. In that case there were two trustees, one of whom was passive in the management of the trust, one of those trustees acted honestly but in breach of the trust terms in making an investment. The passive trustee was unsuccessful in claiming an indemnity on the basis that it had been the actions of the other trustee that had caused the breach of trust. Cotton LJ felt that it would be wrong to punish a trustee who had acted honestly more than a trustee who had failed to act at all.
However, it is not clear exactly how far this principle can be extended and it is generally thought that Bahin v Huges should be treated with caution .[9]
