Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Would it be possible to file and proceed in carrying out a lawsuit with an attorney who is a litigator and an excellent criminal defense attorney, but not specialized in civil suits? The lawyer i wanted to use, i had originally used in my criminal case and am very happy with, and he wants to do the lawsuit but he is not 100% clear on filing the civil papers. Are there options for this type of situaton? Are there ways to work around this. Could he possibly hire an outside person to do the filing, and he himself could carry out the majority of the lawsuit. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
A lawyer in every state is licensed to practice law and any type of law. Meaning the license gives you the right as an attorney to precede in any area of law (litigation, criminal cases etc), but you must be competent in that area.
A criminal lawyer may be perfectly capable and is able to file a civil suit. The question would be is it wise to hire a criminal lawyer for a civil matter and the answer is unknown. If you like the attorney and the attorney and you got along and you want to hire the attorney for a civil case there is nothing stopping you technically from doing it. It is just a question of whether or not a criminal attorney is good in other areas that they normally don' t practice in. There is no clear answer here. A license in the state for a lawyer covers any area except patent law (which a separate requirement is necessary for that).

The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change. Attorney is licensed to practice law only in the State of Illinois. Responses are answers to general legal questions and the receiver of such question should consult a local attorney for specific answers to questions.Ask a similar question
Yes. It wouldn't be a good idea, but it would be possible.
Under the rules governing the conduct of attorneys in New York it may be necessary to remind you that this answer could be considered attorney advertising.Ask a similar question
It can be done but it not necissarily a wise idea. I do both criminal and civil so I can tell you that the proceedural rules are different - there isa lot more paper in a civil case. You need to take and defend depoisitions and make motions, etc. Your lawyer can bring in another lawyer to assist but your lawyer will have to pay for that out of his legal fee. The lawywe should also read the ethics rules about handling a case in an area he/she is not familiar with.

I like my ear nose and throat doctor a lot--but I wouldn't want him handling my prostate surgery---recommend you stick with a civil litigator.
READ THIS BEFORE CALLING OR EMAILING ME: I am licensed to practice before the state and federal courts in Virginia. We have not established an attorney-client relationship unless we have a signed representation agreement and you have paid me. I give a 100% effort to get you on the right track with your issue. Sometimes that means legal educational information, sometimes that means counseling and non-legal guidance. You should speak with an attorney to whom you have provided all the facts, before you take steps that may impact your legal rights. I am not obligated to answer subsequent emails or phone calls unless you have hired me. I wish you the best of luck with your situation.Ask a similar question
I generally make a referral to another attorney when a current client needs work in another area of specialty (and I would consider civil suits different from criminal cases). I need a Will, I go to my friend around the corner who prepares Wills on a regular basis as a part of her practice.
If the lawyer is a general practitioner he may have the ability to wear different hats easily. If he specializes you may want to find a specialist. I have personally stepped out side of "my comfort zone" and whipped a specialist as I approached it methodically and as i was trained. I am the kind of guy that if i have to learn it by a certain date I will do so. However, I specialize in complex litigation and it is easy to handle a few facts and non-technical data, when faced with daunting complexities on a daily basis. I certainly would not hire a attorney who specializes "in drunk driving claims" to handle CERCLA claims or certain environmental claims. Not that they could not learn the intricate details, I just wouldn't want to be their guinea pig and they may be setting them selves up for a malpractice claim. Don't discount a sharp generalist, but watch out for a fish out of water.
Legal disclaimer: I am not your attorney and we have no attorney/client relationship. This response is submitted for informational purposes only. This is not legal advice, nor is it intended to be taken as such.

Also he could be very helpful if the situation is right and you can afford a second co-counsel. Or otherwise limit his involvement to that what he honestly knows.
You guessed the answer: get me to consult. I have 27 years of commercial litigation experience and would guide him through the nitty gritty, but more important the strategic aspects of the case.

All the garmin ones are on their website, customiseable and can be exported to watches and outlook calendars - better than the old ones.
Try the Garmin connect site - http://connect.garmin.com/ just need an account and then then schedules can be attached to the calendar - really easy and very useful
Any idea how to enter one's desired time in the Garmin connect site, for a half marathon?

Glass negative stereograph showing the Pastry Cook's Union Float taking part in the Trades Procession on 1 May 1901. It is part of the G. H. Myers Collection which consists of 73 photographs taken by Godfrey Henry Myers, an electrician and amateur photographer, in Melbourne during May 1901. 72 of these photographs depict preparations for the celebrations that surrounded Federation; all but one are glass stereographs. This collection represents Myers' one venture into commercial photography. It is significant for its images of the crowds, which do not feature so prominently in commercial photographs. The remaining photograph is a family portrait.
The opening of the Australian Parliament on May 9 1901 was an occasion for great celebrations in Melbourne. Ten days of festivities (from 6-16 May) were planned to mark the Federation of the new nation and honour the Royal visitors, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. The city was transformed with decorations - flags, bunting, colourful lights and festive arches - and a series of public events were held, including a military tattoo and several street parades. Unprecedented numbers of people arrived in Melbourne from the rest of Victoria and throughout Australia to take part in the celebrations.
Description of Content
Pastry Cook's Union Float, Trades Procession, Federation Celebration, Melbourne, 11 May 1901. Dressed in white and wearing aprons and hats, the pastry cooks on this horse drawn float are not only working at their craft but cooking as well. A banner says: 'Pastry Cooks Union of Victoria Welcome New Protection' The two mile long Trade Union procession was in part a demonstration in favour of Protectionism and against Free Trade. The unofficial Australian flag being flown overhead is without the large star of the Commonwealth; this was acquired on 3 September 1901. To the left of the image is the Town Hall clock, to the right is a largely empty fee-paying viewing stand. In the background is the German Arch.

By PAUL MACKIE Telegraph staff writer EDWARDSVILLE Officials and candidates are concerned about the area's first consolidated election, to be held April 13. Although the new format is expected to eventually save First consolidated election April 13 money, the switch will be a headache for election officials because of an increase in ballot combinations and the greater chance of voting errors, some officials say. In addition, the election will create hundreds of "lame-duck" candidates on school boards. This is the first time school board elections have been held at the same time as the elections of municipal political figures. Madison County Clerk Mark Von Nida is busy training his 1,000 election judges, some on a one-on-one basis, about the new ballots. He is also producing a newsletter. "The consolidated election causes a terrific number of intersecting boundaries. For instance, even in a small town like Alhambra, there are eight ballot combinations," Von Nida said. A voter who lives just outside of Alhambra could vote within the Highland School District while a neighbor might vote within the Livingston School District. There were 60 ballot combinations in Madison County during the November general election, but there will be more than 150 in April. "The logistics will be that much more complicated. The judges will have to get the ballots to the right booths and the voters to the right booths," Von Nida said.

"I knew I would deny the relationship," she also said. But in tape shown by the Clinton defense team, she testified Clinton did not suggest she use their cover story in an affidavit she was to file in the Paula Jones lawsuit. In addition, she said she never thought the affidavit was to be false. Had Clinton suggested that, she said, "I would have remembered something like that, and I don't." Lewinsky's image lit up four large video monitors in the Senate chamber. There was no indication that her testimony had shaken the prospects for Clinton's expected acquittal on the two articles of impeachment by the end of the week.

"The Lord put a song in my heart to make people happy with my music," said the 82-year-old singer from Alton. For nearly 70 years Meeks has thrilled listeners, pouring out her heart with songs like "Amazing Grace." "My songs come from deep in my soul, from my love of the Lord Jesus Christ," she said. Gospel music has filled Meeks' life since she was a toddler listening to her mother, Letha Everett, sing the old spiritual "Rock of Ages." «i\/fysongs come IVlfrom deep in my soul, from my love of the Lord Jesus Christ." Mable Meeks gospel singer "Sweet music filled our home when I was a child," she recalled. "We listened to my mother's soprano voice singing the old hymns." Meeks' mother sang familiar spirituals like "God Will take Care of You" and she shared her love of music with her children, Mable, Marian and Ethel. "I was 4 years old when I started to sing the old hymns," Meeks said. "I'm 82 years old and still singing the music I love." Meeks' two sisters, Ethel Keene and Marian Williams, grew up with music in their lives. "Marian sang in the choir with me and Ethel played the organ at home." Meeks was 13 years old when she first sang in the junior choir of the former Holy Temple Church in Alton. Today, on Sunday morning, Meeks is in the choir of St. John Baptist Church on Market Street in Alton, a congregation she joined when she was 18 years old.

History of Bikaner
|Historical Region of North India

|19th-century flag
|State established:
|Rajasthani language
|Rathores (1488–1949)
|Jats (before 1488)
|Historical capitals
The region of Bikaner, stretching across northern Rajasthan State in India, was earlier known as Jangladesh. It included the present-day districts of Bikaner, Churu, Ganganagar, and Hanumangarh. It is bounded on the south by Marwar and Jaisalmer regions, on the east by Ajmer-Merwara region.
Bikaner state was a princely state that was founded in the 15th century in this region. After becoming a British protectorate in 1818, it persisted until shortly after India's Independence in 1947.
Early history[edit]
Prior to middle 15th-century rule, the region that is Bikaner was a barren wilderness called "Jangladesh".[1] The territory forming the boundaries of Bikaner was ruled by Jat dynasty of Jats.[citation needed] The north-eastern and north-western Rajasthan, known by the name Jangala Desh since Mahabharata times, was inhabited by Jat clans ruled by their own chiefs and largely governed by their own customary law.[2] The chiefs enjoyed a large amount of autonomy, from their nominal overlord, the sultanate of Delhi.
Whole of the region was possessed by six or seven Jat cantons namely Sihag, Dhaka, Punia, Godara, Saran, Beniwal, Johiya and Kaswan.[citation needed] Besides these cantons there were several sub-castes of Jats, simultaneously wrested from Rajput proprietors for instance Bagor, Kharipatta, Mohila or Mehila,[citation needed] Bhukar, Bhadu, Chahar.[citation needed] According to History of Bikaner State and by the scholars, the region was occupied by Jats with their seven territories. It is said about Jat territories that Saat Patti Sattavan Majh (means seven long and fifty-seven small territories).[3]
The rise of Rao Bika[edit]
About 1465 Rao Bika, a Rathore Rajput, and an elder son of Rao Jodha, king of Marwar, provoked by a stray comment by his father, left Marwar (Jodhpur) with a small contingent of Rathore warriors (500 soldier and 100 cavalrymen) to create his own kingdom. He was accompanied by his uncle, Rawat Kandhal, who provided politico-strategic advice.
Encouraged by the mystic Karni Mata, whom he had met early in his travels, he took advantage of the internal rivalries of the Jat clans so that by 1485 he was able to establish his own territory and build a small fort called Rati Ghati at the city which still bears his name. In 1488 he began the building of the city itself. In the beginning the neighboring Bhati chiefs were suspicious of the new growing power in their vicinity. Karni Mata, who had become the kuladevi of Rao Bika brought the rivalry between the Rathore & Bhatis to an end by inspiring Rao Shekha - the powerful Bhati chief of Pugal, to give the hand of his daughter in marriage to Rao Bika. This consolidated Rao Bika's power in the region and proved to be a milestone in the history of the state.
Upon Rao Jodha's death in 1488 Rao Bika stormed Mehrangarh Fort,[4] an event that was to lead to 200 years of intermittent wars between Marwar and Bikaner.
Remains of the original small fortress Rao Bika built can still be seen around the walled city, near Lakshminath ji temple. The royal family of Bikaner lived there, till Raja Rai Singh Ji built a new fort called "Chintamani" (now Junagarh) between 1589 and 1593 AD.
According to legend Bika Lunkaranji consulted a holy man called Jas nathji, who foretold that Bika's line would reign for 450 years. While Bika was pleased with this prediction, his brother Gharsiji when he heard of the prediction thought a longer period of power should have been prophesied. He confronted the holy man while he was in a deep trance and roused him by thrusting burning incense under his nose.[4] Jas nathji told him 'All right take 50 years more or less but of trial and tribulation'.[5]
Rao Bika died in 1504. His successors benefited from the weak rule of Suraj Mal of Marwar and the disruption caused by Babur's invasion of India to consolidate and extend their possessions [6] until by the 17th century all the Jat clans (including the powerful Godara clan) had accepted the suzerainty of the rulers of Bikaner.[7]
One of the most successful earlier rulers was Jait Singh (1526–39) until he was killed by the forces of Rao Maldev of Marwar. He was succeeded by his son Kalyan Mal (1539–71) who under pressure from the Marwar forces retreated to the Punjab where he joined with Sher Shah Suri who expelled the Mughal ruler Humayun in 1540. With Sher Shah Suri's support Kalyan Mal was able by 1545 to recover his lost territories from Rao Maldev.
Mughal era[edit]
The return of Humayun to power meant that Bikaner due to its involvement with Sher Shah Suri came into conflict with the Mughals again. However Kalyan Mal by using all the advantages of the harsh desert environment around Bikaner was able to defeat any invading Mughal army.[5] The coming of Akbar to power saw the Mughal empire turn to diplomacy instead of force to bring the individual Rajput states into the empire. As a result, Raja Rai Singh, the sixth ruler of Bikaner was among the first Rajput Chiefs to make an alliance with the Mughal Empire. As a result, during the reign of the Mughal emperor Akbar the rulers of Bikaner were esteemed among the most loyal adherents of the empire and held high ranks as Mansabdars of special order in the imperial court. They served as military commanders in various Mughal campaigns all over the Indian sub-continent. In 1570, Akbar married a daughter of Rao Kalyan Singh. Kalyan's son, Rai Singh, who succeeded him in 1571, was one of Akbar's most distinguished generals and the first Raja of Bikaner. Two other distinguished chiefs of the house were Raja Karan Singh (1631–1669), who in the struggle of the sons of Shah Jahan for the throne threw in his lot with Aurangzeb, and his eldest son, Anup Singh (1669–1698), who fought with distinction in the Deccan, was conspicuous in the capture of Golconda, and earned the title of maharaja. With the decline of Mughal power in India with the death of Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707 AD, the bonds of Mughals-Rajput relationship slowly dissolved. Sujan Singh (1700–35) formally broke the connection with the Mughal throne and from 1719 based himself within his kingdom.
Maratha era[edit]
Following the collapse of the Mughal Empire in the 18th century, Bikaner, like the rest of Rajputana, became subservient to the Marathas,[8] until it came under the protection of the British East India Company in 1818, following the British victory in the Third Anglo-Maratha War. In 1818, the Raja of Bikaner signed a treaty with the British, which protected Bikaner from invasion provided it was not the aggressor and guaranteed the royal succession.
Early and middle 19th century[edit]
In 1802, during the last of the wars between Bikaner and Marwar, Mountstuart Elphinstone was passing through Bikaner on his way to Kabul; when Maharaja Surat Singh (1788–1828), applied to him for British protection, which was refused. In 1815 Surat Singh's tyranny led to a general rising of his Thakurs, and in 1816 the maharaja again applied for British protection. On 9 May 1818 a Treaty of Perpetual Friendship was signed between the Bikaner ruler and the East India Company,[9] and order was restored in the country by British troops. Ratan Singh, who succeeded his father in 1828, applied in vain in 1830 to the British government for aid against a fresh rebellion of his Thakurs; such that during the next five years banditry became so rife on the borders that the government raised a special force to deal with it (the Shekhawati Brigade), to which over the next seven years Bikaner contributed part of the cost. Henceforth the relations of the maharajas with the British government were increasingly cordial.
By the middle of the 19th century the years of internal strife together with the financial and military demands put on Bikaner by the British had put the kingdom in debt. A sharp turnaround in the fortunes of the kingdom occurred in 1842 when Maharaja Ratan Singh took advantage of a shortage of pack animals to supply Bikaner's renowned camels at considerable profit to the British for their Afghan expedition. Ths turnaround was such that by 1844 he was able to reduce the dues on goods passing through Bikaner. He also gave assistance in both Sikh campaigns to the British. His son, Sardar Singh (1851–1872), was rewarded for help given during the Revolt of 1857 by an increase of territory. In 1868 a rising of the Thakurs against his extortions led to the despatch of a British political officer, by whom affairs were adjusted.
Dungar Singh[edit]
Sardar Singh had no son, and, upon his death in 1872, his widow and the state's principal ministers selected Dungar Singh, (adopted by Sardar Singh), with the approval of the British government as his successor. The principal political event of his reign was the rebellion of the Thakurs in 1883 owing to an attempt to increase the dues payable in lieu of military service; this led to the permanent location at Bikaner of a British political agent. Dungar Singh's reign was notable for the establishment of a modern administrative system, a police force, the state's first hospital, and Bikaner's becoming (in 1886) the first Indian Princely State to introduce electricity.[10]
Dungar Singh died in 1887 without a son; but he had adopted his brother, Ganga Singh (born 1880), who, with the approval of the British government, succeeded him as the 21st ruler of Bikaner.
Ganga Singh[edit]
Ganga Singh was educated at the Mayo College in Ajmer, and was invested with full powers in 1898. He attended King Edward's coronation in 1902 and accompanied the British army in person in the Chinese campaign of 1901 in command of the Bikaner Camel Corps, which also served in British Somaliland in 1904. For his conspicuous services he was given the Kaisar-i-Hind medal of the first class, made an honorary major in the Indian army, a G.C.I.E., a K.C.S.I., and A.D.C. to the Prince of Wales. The military force consisted of 500 men, besides the Imperial Service Corps of the same strength.
The reign of Maharaja Ganga Singh was notable for great socio-political and economic development in every sphere of life, namely, education, health, sanitation, water supply, power generation and electricity, irrigation, post and telegraph, roads and railways, trade and commerce, etc. The state owes to this ruler the opening up of new railways across the great desert, which was formerly passable only by camels and the tapping of the valuable coal deposits that occur in the territory. The railway from Jodhpur had been extended towards Bhatinda in the Punjab; on the northern border, the Ghaggar canal in the Punjab irrigated about 5,000 acres (2,023 ha) (20 km²).
Drought is a common occurrence, and the region faced the most severe famine in 1899–1900 which was so severely felt that by 1901 it reduced the population to 584,627, a decrease of 30%.
When Maharaja Ganga Singh died in 1943, he was succeeded by Maharaja Sadul Singh. he was the colonel of the Regiment of 2nd lancers.
Accession to India[edit]
With the departure of the British in 1947, the subsidiary alliance of 1818 came to an end and Bikaner was left as an independent state, with the choice falling to Maharaja Sadul Singh of acceding to one of the new dominions, India or Pakistan. In the event, Sadul Singh was one of the first rulers of a princely state to sign an Instrument of Accession, on 7 August 1947, choosing India. Bikaner became part of the state of Rajputana, which was later renamed Rajasthan.

Introductory note from Jason Pratt: see here for the previous entry; and see here for the first entry of the series. (It explains what I'm doing, and how, and contains the Johannine prologue.)
Actions and Consequences
Now it occurs (the Disciple and the Scholar and the Follower say), as Jesus is in one of the cities (of Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God and healing)... look! a man full of leprosy!
Seeing Jesus, he falls on his face (apparently after having followed Jesus to a house where Jesus was staying), imploring Him: "Sir! If you are willing, you can make me clean!"
Moved with compassion, and reaching out His hand, Jesus touches him, saying: "I am willing! Be cleansed!"
And the leprosy went straight away from him, at His saying this; and he was made clean.
Yet, growling under His breath, Jesus strictly charges the man: "Look here! You may not say anything of this to anyone! Now go, show yourself to the (local) priest, and bring for your cleansing the approach offering Moses commands (in the book of Leviticus), as a testimony to them." And then He casts him out.
But the man, going out, begins shouting loudly, blazing the news abroad; so that by no means can Jesus enter a city publicly any longer, but must stay out in desolate places. And they came to Him from every direction. [See first comment below for footnote here.]
After these things (says the Evangelist), there was a feast of the Jews (maybe the Feast of Pentecost, about 50 days after Passover), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
And Jesus was announcing (the gospel) in the synagogues of Judea (as well, agrees the Scholar.)
Now (continues the Evangelist), in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a pool with five porticos (porches), named in Hebrew "Bethesda".
A crowd of those who were sick, blind, lame and withered were laid down in those (porticos), waiting for the moving of the waters--for an angel of the Lord went down into the pool to bathe at certain seasons, and stirred up the water; whoever then first stepped in after this disturbance would be healed of whatever disease was gripping him. [See second comment below for a footnote here.]
Now a certain man was there, having been sick thirty-eight years.
Jesus, seeing him lying there, and knowing he had already been waiting a long time, is saying to him: "Do you want to become whole?"
The weak man answered Him: "Sir, I have no one to throw me in the pool whenever the water may be disturbed; so while I am going, another goes down before me."
Jesus is saying to him: "Get up, pick up your pallet, and walk!"
Instantly, the man is made whole; and got up and picked up his pallet and began to walk.
But, that day was a Sabbath.
So the Jews (probably Pharisees per typical GosJohn usage, trying in this case to help Israel keep the Law 'perfectly' for at least one day so that God would send them the Messiah as a reward) said to the man who had been cured, "This is the Sabbath; and you are not allowed to carry your pallet!"
But he answered them, "He who made me whole is who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"
So they asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Pick up your pallet and walk'?"
But the cured man had not really seen Who He was, for Jesus is avoiding him among the local crowd.
Afterward, Jesus finds him in the Temple, and says to him: "Look here; you have become whole. By no means be sinning any longer!--or else something worse may be happening to you!"
The man went away then, and informed the Jews that Jesus is the One Who made him whole.
Now while He is speaking (says the Scholar), a certain Pharisee asks Him to have lunch with him. And going in, He reclines (at the table).
Yet the Pharisee, seeing this, marvels that Jesus has not ceremonially washed (literally 'baptized') Himself before lunch!
But the Lord said to him: "Now, you Pharisees are cleaning the outside of the cup and the platter; yet your inside is full of robbery and wickedness! You fools!--does He Who makes the outside not also make the inside? So, give what is within, in charity; and behold, all is clean to you."
Now answering, a certain lawyer said, "Rabbi; when you say this, you insult us, too."
But He said: "Wail for you lawyers as well!--for you take away the key of knowledge! You don't enter in yourselves, and you hinder the ones who are entering!"
So when He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began hounding Him dreadfully, quizzing Him closely on many subjects; ambushing Him, and seeking to pounce on something out of His mouth. [See third comment below for footnote here.]
So everyone went to their own homes (continues an unknown storyteller, adding something to the tale); but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Now early next morning, He came along again into the Temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so He sat and began teaching.
Yet the scribes and Pharisees are leading a woman who has been overtaken in adultery; and having set her among them, they said to Him:
"Rabbi; this woman has been found doing adultery--caught in the act! Now in the Law, Moses directs us to stone such women. You then--what do you say?"
They were saying this (adds the unknown storyteller) to test Him, in order to have something to accuse Him of.
But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with His finger.
Yet as they persisted asking Him, He unbends and says to them:
"The one without sin among you--let Him be the first to throw a stone at her."
And again stooping down, He wrote on the ground.
And when they heard this, they began leaving one by one, starting with the eldest, to the last man.
And Jesus was left alone, with the woman, in the midst (of the people).
Now unbending, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Does not even one of them condemn you?"
And she said, "... not one, sir."
And Jesus said: "Neither am I condemning you. Go!
"But from now on, you absolutely must stop sinning." [See fourth and fifth comments below for footnotes here.]

Apparently, the problem is that Jesus touched a leper, and so even though the leper was cured, the fact Jesus touched him would at the least confound people who now would expect Jesus Himself to be not only impure but contagious, until the proper cleansing ceremonies had been publicly accomplished. Jesus knows He needs no such ceremony, and will not do one simply for show, so chooses to limit His ministry until after His next public appearance in Jerusalem at the Temple, after which people would assume He had decontaminated Himself. He does, however, get a full load of lepers to visit Him now in the wastes...

Many manuscripts omit this explanation of what sounds like geothermal sulfurous action in the spring. It does show that even the later copyists were not universally credulous; they distinguished between 'genuine' miracles and what they considered to be rustic (i.e. 'pagan') superstitions. The writers of the NT epistles admonish their readers likewise, on occasion...

.......[third deferred footnote]
Pharisees: students of the Jewish law who were supposed to be helping the people across Israel (especially the laity) to keep the laws of God--not necessarily priests in the synagogues or the Temple. In fact, their purpose was to serve the people outside the Temple, although their base, as with any group, was Jerusalem. The word Pharisee itself means 'put out'; technically they were _sent_ out, as the phrase can also be translated, although it became common later to joke that they had been 'put out' by the leading men in the Temple for being busybodies. Another joke involved explaining 'bleeding Pharisees' as a semi-affectionate curse: they concentrated so hard on keeping the Law, they were constantly bumping their heads on things!
The Pharisees parlayed their necessity as the active teaching arms of the chief priests across the countryside, including making converts to Judaism, into considerable political power in Jerusalem--but they were also seen as helpful teachers and even heroes by the people.
Jesus operated much like a Pharisaic rabbi, which confused them; early in the story they are wanting to know more about Him, but I am presenting this incident as being an early confrontation, instigated by Jesus in trying to reform them. A time will come when, to put it mildly, they stop inviting Him to dinners...
Lawyers: similar to Pharisees, but more official in their connections to the Temple system; these are the men who try court cases, civil and criminal (insofar as the Romans allowed criminal trials), and act as legal advisors for the chief priests. When Jesus chides the Pharisees, the lawyer realizes they are being included in principle.
Scribes: men specially trained in the art of calligraphy, not only writing the scrolls of the Jewish Scriptures, but also ensuring accurate and graceful excerpts could be painted on doorposts or in phylacteries (small boxes with brief scriptural excerpts, worn on the forehead and upper arm for religious devotion.) Scribes consequently became very familiar with the Law, as well as the Histories and the Prophets, and so could be treated as ad hoc lawyers. (We might call them paralegals.) They worked closely in conjunction with all the religious groups of 1st century Judaism.
Generally speaking, 'lawyers' would be found in Jerusalem and its nearby settlements in the locality of Judea; Pharisees and scribes could be found anywhere, but especially out across the country. "Chief priests", including those in the Pharisee party, would normally only be near Jerusalem, along with the Sadducee party who controlled the Sanhedrin priestly high court (although Sadducees could send out deputation groups on occasion, for their own purposes, of course.)
Not all Pharisees were necessarily as hypocritical, or even as annoying, as the hyper-conservatives who tailed Jesus; and in fact the Pharisees were responsible for keeping Judaism alive and flourishing after the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Romans (under Titus and Vespasian) in 70 CE, 40-43 years after the events in the Gospel stories.
Jesus is interested in reforming the Pharisees, scribes, lawyers, etc.; and eventually gains followers even among the Pharisees of Jerusalem. The Pharisees were particularly interested in reform, actually, for the sake of the people of Israel and the glory of God. Specifically, they hoped that if Israel could keep the Law perfectly for even one day, God would send the Messiah as a reward.
At any rate: unlike His previous trip to Jerusalem at Passover, Jesus has now thrown down the gauntlet, and challenged the lawyers and Pharisees. The duels have begun...
.......[fourth deferred footnote]
This story does not exist in the earliest copies of GosJohn, nor in any other canonical Gospel except for one or two existent copies of GosLuke (plus its position in GosJohn tends to float through three or four optional places in various copies). It first appears in the surviving copies several hundred years later, although writers were mentioning the incident on occasion for about a century earlier.
It is difficult to consider the story a late invention, though--aside from the possible subdued tease about "The One Who is without sin among you", there is no evident 'high Christology'; there is no attempt (within the anecdote) to connect this woman with the popular Mary/Maries of Bethany/Magdala; the language is very straightforward without embellishments, aside from natural detail touches: people going back and forth, the accusers leaving one at a time in order of their age, Jesus stooping and straightening doing something completely mysterious of which nothing at all is made... His language is clipped and to the point, quite like similar incidents both in GosJohn (such as the healing at Bethesda pool which I've put this near) and in the Synoptics (such as the healing of the first leper).
In short, it reads like an eyewitness account, passed along in very good shape. If it is an invention, it is a very good invention; it is not at all like examples of definite invention found among orthodox and other groups after 150 CE.
Even more shortly: this tastes like a real bit of history. However, its inclusion is not mandatory, and its provenance remains admittedly problematic.
I've put it this early for several reasons which I'll discuss in the appendix; but partly (I admit) because I could put it near just about any Jerusalem scene and I have a purely aesthetic preference for suggesting a sequence of events connected to Mary of Bethany/Magdala. This should not be taken as a definite conclusion, however; it is simply editorial preference.
.......[fifth deferred footnote]
I take it that the point of this test was to see if Jesus would conform to proper convention. Legally the woman couldn't in fact be prosecuted (much less stoned to death without a proper trial). The Pharisees were shown earlier to be largely on Jesus' side (especially in GosJohn), so they're probably just disturbed at His criticisms and His obvious disregard for their strategy of 'earning' the advent of the Messiah--isn't He supposed to be on their side against the Sadducees etc.?! On the other hand, if He takes the judgment of the Law into His own hand (so to speak) without due process, then He would be publicly exposed as a mere pretender trying to use Jewish religious convention for His own power-gain. So it's a clever rabbinic test, to see if Jesus is acting out of egotism and if He will be a threat to the people; the woman is not actually in danger, though she herself may think she is.

The Dream Assignment
School is a blur. All I can think about is my dream and the old woman. Where had she gone? What was she doing right now?
I shake my head, trying to clear my mind. It's a dream! She's not doing anything right now, because she doesn't exist.
But it was so real!
As I sit at my desk, waiting for the last bell to ring, I look around me for the first time. It's way more quiet than I would have expected. Every desk contains a student, and every student bent over a paper. I look up to the board...
Oh... A writing assigment.
I pull out a note book and look at the directions again. Write about the most memorable dream you've had.
I think hard for a moment, but I can't think of anything... Of course, thinking never works.
So I just start. I write blindly, lettting my hand do what it willed.
When I finish, I am surprised with myself... I reread it.
Hanging in suspense is a terrible thing... Especially if you're waiting for something that may never come. You know those dreams where it ends suddenly, and you have to wait for the next night to come before you can find out what happens to you? That's the kind I'm talking about. The ones that make you wait, that are so real that when you wake up, it takes you a moment to figure out where you are. Those are the good kinds.
So, I'm running through a jungle, and something or someone is chasing me. I'm tripping over roots, jumping over ferns, getting slapped in the face by branches. I come to the end of a well-beaten path. I look around, see it continueing to my right, run that way. I'm in a flowing green skirt that billows out behind me as I run. I slow down, coming close to an open field. I stop several yards away from the edge. I'm afraid to move on, realizing that it would be too easy to get away, too easy to be captured out in the open--at least in the jungle I have cover and blend in. I wait it out, making sure the coast is clear. I step into the field.
I've barely taken a step when something stabs me in the back, and I fall to the ground, lying helpless and vulnerable.
The dream ends. The suspense kills me during the day. The next night, I'm only too ready to fall asleep and get on with my dream.
So on and so on... I explain about the odd Indian woman, and how I'm waiting to sleep tonight for the next part of the dream.
The bell rings, and everyone stands up quickly, rushing for the door and leaving their paper on the counter beside it. I'm last. I set my paper down carefully, and walk out of the door, not bothering with my locker and heading for the doors.

Croft described England's three-wicket win over the hosts which levelled the series as "the most exciting game" he had ever played in
Croft played an instrumental role in the victory, taking vital wickets and chipping in with a defiant innings worth 17 runs on the final day as the pressure mounted.
"What a game!" said Croft afterwards. "It has to be the most exciting I've ever been involved in.
"Both sides were very competitive and did not give an inch and England showed a lot of character to come through.
"We were disappointed down in Galle to lose, but you don't become a bad team overnight following our win in Pakistan. We are good players and we showed that."
England have developed a hard edge to their game under Zimbabwean coach Duncan Fletcher and Croft epitomises the new-found self-belief within the camp.
"We have a lot of good cricketers in the England team who have played together for a long time.
"We have seen good times and bad times, but they realise now that they are good players.
"There is a belief in the dressing room that is immense, but we have a respect for the game and if you don't have that it can come and kick you in the backside."
On his own encouraging display, having been overlooked for the winning tour in Pakistan, Croft added: "I'm not here to make up the numbers. I'm here to contribute to England and I'm pleased to do my bit.
"But we won't get carried away. I'm not sure whether we have the edge for the third Test, we'll have to wait and see. It will be interesting.
"But now I'm going to enjoy some beers - the Welsh dragon's breathing fire here at the moment!"

The Sparkling Now
I walk out on the sand
The rain is light
Then stinging
The salt is washed away by the rain.
I came for sunlight, but am reminded
That the world doesn't need me.
My body surfs the waves
And I laugh.
The rain pours down
The waters are grey and saddening,
A surreal mix of fun and depression -Calm and torrential variables.
When the rain stops dancing on the face of the waves,
When the waters and the sky have stopped competing for my
Attention, the sun comes out, and it's so hot, like fire.
The dance begins again, but now the sun's fire and the earth's wind are
The sun's light shimmers on the crashing waves, and the waters join in again.
Not to be outdone, the sky unleashes the clouds, and tiny rain falls lightly.
Then I realize, as I swim, and lay in the sun, that the world does need me,
It needs you too.
It needs us to see it, nature likes to show off.
Today I got to witness the sparkling now,
And I realized that it exists in me as well, everything is connected

Fewer English pupils taking foreign languages
Fewer than half of English school pupils are taking a modern European language at GCSE, according to official figures. The figures, obtained in a parliamentary written answer by the Liberal Democrats, show the declining proportion of children (28.7%) taking GCSE French this year compared with a take-up of 54% in 2000. One child in 10 now takes German GCSE, compared with one in five a decade ago. The decline comes after the government made modern languages optional for pupils over 14 in 2004. Primary schools are expected to offer some language lessons from 2010.

Four people have been arrested by police investigating the theft of more than a million pounds-worth of LS Lowry paintings. Police raided addresses in Tameside, Greater Manchester, after receiving information from the public. The paintings were stolen during a robbery at a house in Cheshire in May. A 31-year-old man from Hyde, and three men from Denton, 36, 22 and 24, were arrested on suspicion of robbery and are being questioned. The artworks belong to Ivan Aird, 41. Raiders tied him up at his home and threatened to kill his two-year-old daughter before making off with the paintings.

Met reveals £1.4m cost of cash-for-honours inquiry
The cash-for-honours investigation cost Scotland Yard nearly £1.4 million, the force disclosed yesterday. Staff costs made up £1,304,549 of the total £1,396,091 bill. The Met refused to provide a breakdown of the remaining £91,542. Four people - including some of former prime minister Tony Blair's closest aides - were arrested during the inquiry, which began in March last year. Police initially focused on claims that businessmen had been nominated for honours after giving loans to political parties. The CPS announced in July that none of the main suspects would face charges.

Pub landlord fined £500 for ignoring smoking ban
The first pub landlord in England to be brought to court for flouting the smoking ban vowed to continue to allow smokers to light up at his bars yesterday after he was fined £500. Hugh Howitt, 55, of Blackpool, said he would not stop people from smoking at The Happy Scots Bar and Del Boy's. He appeared at Blackpool magistrates court where he admitted allowing people to smoke on 12 occasions since July 1. He was discharged on seven counts and fined £100 each for the other five charges, plus £2,000 costs. Outside the court, he said: "I'm not putting anybody out of my pub until they shut me down."

She has often been described as having come from relative poverty, sharing a bedroom with two sisters in a small terrace house while her parents both worked hard at the local mill. In fact that's not quite the full picture.
"It's a bit of an exaggeration," she tells me. "Everyone loves to think we all wore clogs and ate dried bread. We were working class, but my mother stopped working at the mill when she married my father and he went on to become an electrical engineer and later a draughtsman. So although we were never rich he was bringing in enough money to be able to splash out occasionally."
Today she is reaping the financial rewards from a successful music career and owns a five-bedroom home in Killiney, Ireland's Beverly Hills just outside Dublin, where her neighbours include U2's Bono.
She and record producer husband Ian Devaney also own a one-bedroom loft apartment in New York they bought four years ago, and at the end of last year they sold their detached Victorian gothic house in Rochdale for an estimated £900,000.
"I go through phases with money," she laughs. "I'll spend it liberally and then I'll panic and won't spend anything. The other day I bought four bespoke shirts from Dunhill. Long sleeves, high collars, they're absolutely gorgeous, so I've put in an order for six more. I'm a bad woman. Then I think, 'Oh no - I've spent too much this year.'"
Lisa started singing at the age of four, prancing around the house to her mum's records. By the time she was 15, she dropped out of school because she could only see her future in music. She was already earning £30 for half an hour at the local social club.
She met her husband Ian at school when she was 14 and he was 15, but they didn't get to know each other properly until three years later, when they formed their first band.
"Having money hasn't made me any happier," she insists. "There are some negatives associated with it too, like having to be away from home when you don't want to be. It seems to me I'm either at home twiddling my thumbs all the time or I'm away on tour and homesick. The travelling is the worst part of it - I'm just constantly going in and out of airports and not sleeping in my own bed."
There's also the health insurance - Lisa can't afford to have to cancel a concert through sickness, because she would be liable to the concert promoters for their costs. She's not sure how much they are, but she assures me the premiums are high.
Ian and Lisa run a joint bank account and she lets him take most of the management decisions because they share a similar outlook. But as soon as I probe her confident exterior, gaps in her knowledge emerge: she's not sure if she's contributing to a pension fund; she knows she receives her income through various companies but she's hazy on the details.
"If there's one thing I wish I'd done differently it would be to have invested money in property," she says. "I'm 39 now and when I was younger if I'd had the head I've got now I would definitely have done it."
Her career has gone in fits and starts, releasing albums every few years that sell well - only to virtually disappear between them while working on new material or trying her hand at acting.
"It's important that I make music I'm proud of," she says. "Sometimes it's taken me longer than it should to make an album because I've stuck to my guns, but I'd rather take a long time than compromise.
"I want to go home at night and still have my integrity. Doing anything I don't want to do just because someone's told me to do it isn't worth it in the end, no matter how successful the idea is."
Spending it
Lottery: "I think the lottery is part of the 'dumbing down' of Britain," says Lisa. However, if she were to win £5m she'd give £1.5m to charity, go on some expensive holidays and buy another property.
Best buy: The five-bedroom house she bought in Dublin 11 years ago, before the area's property prices boomed.
Prefers to pay: By credit card: "I hardly ever carry cash with me."
Greatest extravagance: "I think it's an extravagance to have a second home. It's a luxury I'm lucky to be able to afford."
Tipping: 10% in England and 20% in America: "Just do what the natives do."
Debt: She's only been in debt once, to the tune of a £500 overdraft.
Retirement: No plans. Lisa's just hoping she's got enough money in the bank to see her through.
