Comments about Marshall MG Series MG15CFX 15W 1x8 Guitar Combo Amp:
This amp is what it is. It's for beginners who want an array of effects, without having to shell out the giant expense of individual effects pedals. I however, HAVE saved up for those individual effects pedals and this amp will NOT be retiring them. For a beginner, it should impress... for an experienced player it probably won't. The GOOD news is it has a nice clean tone... and the octave effect (biggest reason I bought the amp) works nicely, especially with the distorted channels. I would equal that effect alone on par with an octave pedal from boss... and the amp is comparable in price with the boss oc-3. The other effects I'll still be using pedals for.

OK, let's put this is a more palatable perspective then. What
outstanding issues are yet to be resolved before 1.32b is ready for a
release version? I am less interested in a date than understanding what
issues are still to be resolved and therefore holding things up.
Perhaps knowing that would allow me / you / someone / anyone to assist
in moving forward.

How does it work?
The symptom that you experience is a product of the subconscious mind. In the past it felt that this (whatever it may be) was the best way to react to a situation and now this is the way it has learnt to always react. Now that you are older, this symptom is no longer necessary. The problem is that the reaction is not in the conscious part of the mind, you cannot just decide to think it away. By examining the subconscious mind we can find the cause of the symptom and reinterpret it, in order to release both the troublesome symptom and the need for such a reaction, which will prevent the problem from returning.

I am new to this forum and I actually thought I posted this correctly last night but cannot find it....so sorry if you are getting the same thing twice.
Recently constructed a new home, 10' basement ceilings (unfinished), 1500 sqft on first floor and 1500 sqft on second floor. Second floor is not occupied and
we usually keep it at 55 degrees. Two high efficiency furnaces, (LP) one in the basement which heats the first floor living area, basement stays about 50 degrees with no heat (walk-out).
Second furnace is located in a utility room on the second floor. The LP price per gallon shot up from Nov. 07 (1.99) to most recently Mar. 08 (3.10).....spent about $3,800 to heat last year and
we still were cold. With some research from this site, just yesterday purchased a Keystoker Koker (160,000 btu) (direct vent) from the local dealer. koker will be located in the basement against back
wall (walk-out). Here is my question and I have received various answers from the local folks.....do I connect the Koker to my existing COLD or HOT air duct work in the basement ceiling for distribution up to the first floor living area? What is the best way to make the connection? I am going to assume that the radiant heat of the unit will keep the basement above the normal 50 degrees. Not worried about the second floor.
Certainly more questions to come.
Please help... Thanks!

text: At what point does a human being feel shame for being dead last in cap room, having to beg your vets for restructures/cuts on a yearly basis, possibly having to cut one of your all-time great players due to poor cap mgmt, and never having any signficant room to add quality FAs? I don't understand how this family can look themselves in the mirror every morning looking at the cap space for each team in the league and see teams who have twice our success also have twice the cap room we have. Do they feel no shame at all? This Demarcus Ware thing kinda rubs me the wrong way. I've been critical of him but it's sad that things have to come to this. What do you think Ware is thinking in that negotiationing room? "Why do I have to suffer to clean up YOUR mess?" Do you wonder if Jerry/Stephen ever feel any guilt/shame for having to constantly re-work and cut contracts just to get UNDER the cap? I understand every team does it but nobody desperately relies on it as much as we do.

Gays in the Military
Posted on Jul 4, 2014
"Gays in the Military"
In 1993 President Bill Clinton introduced the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy, a compromise in response to Ronald Reagan's 1982 Defense Department directive in which Reagan declared, "homosexuality is incompatible with military service."
Both of these restrictive and misguided policies were based on fear and ignorance, denying willing and able homosexual American men and women equal opportunity to achieve their potential in the U.S. armed forces.
"Gays in the Military," a book by photojournalist Vincent Cianni, examines the struggles of homosexual men and women while serving before, during and after DADT, which was repealed in 2011, and the impact the ban had on their lives and careers.
His 53 compelling black and white portraits, accompanied by poignant personal testimonies, put a human face to those who were forced to keep their sexual orientation hidden from families, co-workers and friends.
Cianni's intimate photos erase the sexual deviant stereotype. The faces shown here could be your grandfather, mother, brother, daughter, neighbor or teacher.
These people are highly skilled, patriotic, well educated and deemed competent enough to be placed in charge of ballistic missiles and receive high security clearances.
"Gays in the Military" is an honest, in-depth look into the lives of homosexual service members who were mistreated, harassed and denied basic human rights. Their experiences left me bewildered as to how anyone willing to serve and die for his or her country could be treated so appallingly. Navy Petty Officer Joseph Rocha, for example, was hosed down, left in a dog kennel filled with feces and forced to eat dog food.
Inspired by a 2009 radio interview featuring the mother of Pvt. Nathanael Bodon talking lovingly and supportively about her son who had been discharged from the Army while in Iraq under DADT, Cianni reached out to her and her son. That meeting was the first of more than a hundred, as Cianni embarked on a three-year journey across America on a series of road trips, interviewing gays and lesbians who served in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard and National Guard.
A photography instructor at Parsons The New School for Design and the International Center of Photography in New York City, Cianni was drawn to this project not only because he is gay, but also because it aligned with his previous work exploring issues of social justice, community, unfair treatment and human right abuses.
His book can be seen as a visual addendum, continuing the narrative initiated with Nathaniel Frank's "Unfriendly Fire." Published in 2009, Frank's analysis of DADT discussed how specific cases, such as the discharge of valuable Arabic translators who turned out to be gay, weakened and morally damaged U.S. forces.
The biggest challenge for Cianni was gaining the trust of his subjects. Having lived under a constant threat of being outed or remembering the experience of being betrayed by their own unit or superior officers whom they had confided in, they were weary and guarded.
By conducting interviews in the comfort of their own homes, Cianni was able to put these men and women at ease. They were able to safely and truthfully tell their side of the story for the first time without fear of retribution.
Cianni took their portraits immediately after their conversations, capturing their authentic selves, stripped of pretenses and lies. Long suppressed pain and inner turmoil are often present in the images, simmering just beneath the surface. The emotion and vulnerability of having revisited horrific and degrading situations are also evident. So is the relief of releasing their burdens.
Some posed in the safety of shadows. Couples clung together. Others emanated ambiguity, looking away from the camera. Several proudly wore their dress uniforms and fatigues. American flags, medals and military commendations decorated the backgrounds.
The age range spans 60 years, from active duty to reserves and retirees. They fought in Okinawa in WWII, during the Cold War, in Vietnam, Kuwait and in Fallujah during the Iraq War.
The ways in which these men and women's homosexuality was discovered are as diverse as their socioeconomic, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and military ranks.
Many were harassed and ridiculed while others were given a second chance to remain if they kept their mouth shut or denied their sexuality. Some fought charges and won reinstatement. A handful bravely came out with grand fanfare on national television. Others left of their own volition. Years of tortured personal relationships, celibacy and constant denial of their true identity took its toll resulting in mental anguish, often on top of post-traumatic stress disorder.
For those who forged their way to retirement without being outed, it wasn't easy.
Rear Adm. Alan Steinman learned to repress his sexuality early on, joining the Coast Guard in 1972. "I loved my job, I lived the mission of the Coast Guard … and never regretted a single day," he wrote in his essay. When commissioned as an officer he found a female companion to accompany him to social gatherings. When he retired after 25 years of service, Steinman wanted to finally live his life openly and honestly as a gay man. At 52 he was exploring his sexuality and the gay culture as if he were a teenager. Professionally, he still felt the pressure to be in the closet. He finally came out on the 10th anniversary of DADT.

Three Top Activist Plays - 3545 views
Most hedge funds are underperforming the markets this year. In fact, since 2004, most hedge funds have actually underperformed the boarder markets, despite the huge bull market in stocks.
Since most hedge funds get paid based on their returns for the year, managers who do not want to underperform are often turn to shareholder activism as a way to increase shareholder value and ultimately boost their returns.
Here are some of the latest activist situations for those interested in piggybacking off the top hedge funds.
William Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management said that the process that led to the CVS (CVS) transaction was "seriously flawed" and that the value of Longs Drugs (LDG) substantially exceeds the bid of $71.50 a share. Pershing Square owns 3.1 million shares in Longs and holds an economic interest via total return swaps for another 9.2 million shares (taking its total position to 25.6% of Longs).
Advisory Research holds a 9.2% stake in Longs and doesn't plan to tender its 3.3 million shares for CVS's offer "unless there is some dramatic change of circumstances." David Heller, president of Advisory Research, said that he wants Longs to "tell everyone what their real-estate holdings are so other people can come in and be bidders." Ackman has publicly stated that he believes Longs Drugs real-estate value is worth around $2.8 billion to $2.9 billion alone and has said a deal could happen in the $90-to-$95 range.
Longs Drugs is the fourth-largest drugstore in the U.S. and operates about 520 stores located in California, Nevada, Arizona and Hawaii. It trades with a forward P/E of 22, a PEG ratio of 1.5 and EV/EBITDA of 10.5.
Next on the list is Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN). Investor Carl Icahn has raised his ownership in Amylin to almost 8%. Icahn has been in discussions with Amylin management and intends to seek to have further conversations with management and members of the board to discuss various possibilities to enhance shareholder value.
Additionally, hedge fund Eastbourne Capital owns 12.55% of Amylin and has had discussions with management to increase its position above 15%.
Famed money manager Mario Gabelli of Gamco Investors has boosted its stake in Alpharma (ALO) 7.38% (3.08 million shares) from 5.54% (2.31 million shares). Alpharma develops, manufactures and markets pharmaceutical products for humans and animals worldwide.
Sir Richard Branson owns 52 million shares (or 63.1%) of Virgin Mobile (VM). Virgin Mobile trades with a forward P/E of 11.5, a PEG ratio of 2.1 and EV/EBITDA of 5.9.
Alexander & Baldwin (ALEX), a transportation, real estate and agribusiness, saw Breeden Capital purchase about 2.66 million shares, raising its stake to 6.44%. Alexander & Baldwin trades with a forward P/E of 13.1, a PEG ratio of 1.9 and EV/EBITDA of 8.1

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Confusion persisted Tuesday about the status and nature of a Palestinian Authority-declared "ceasefire," with leaders of PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction defining it as an end to "Israeli occupation" but not a halt to violence, while other Palestinian factions rejected the call altogether.
Israeli officials said they had seen little evidence of attempts to end the violence or to stop anti-Israeli incitement in the Palestinian media.
Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire almost two weeks ago and said it would not engage in initiated military actions against the PA, in line with the recommendations of a U.S.-sponsored report into the causes for the trouble.
Arafat, who initially scorned the unilateral declaration as a propaganda trick, eventually agreed to call for a ceasefire over the weekend, under severe international pressure following a suicide bombing that killed 20 young Israelis and wounded scores more.
An Israeli army spokesman said on Tuesday there had been a "slight decrease" in Palestinian attacks on Israeli targets during the last two days.
Capt. Jacob Dallal said Palestinian gunmen continued to fire on civilians over the past 24 hours. Apart from a fierce gun battle in the Gaza Strip Monday, there had also been other shootings and mortar attacks.
Leaders of Fatah gave their own interpretation of a ceasefire through the media on Tuesday, while several Palestinian factions refused to agree to the ceasefire call.
Hamas, which claimed credit for carrying out the weekend suicide attack, denied earlier reports that it had joined Arafat's declared truce with Israel.
"Our policy is to continue the intifada (uprising) and resistance," senior Hamas official, Mahmoud al-Zahhar, was quoted as saying. "We are not changing our policy. Resistance means to attack the Israelis everywhere by all means."
Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, was also quoted as saying "our Palestinian people are not going to kneel down, will not surrender and will continue in this intifada."
Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine also refused to back the call for a ceasefire.
Within Arafat's own Fatah faction, two prominent West Bank leaders gave differing versions of how they envisaged a ceasefire.
Hussein El-Sheikh said in a radio interview Fatah was honoring the declaration, which he described as "a general ceasefire" and said they hoped the Israeli government "will remove the blockades [on Palestinian cities] and end the attacks on the Palestinian people."
But the Palestinians had to defend themselves against "attacks," which he said included any construction work whatsoever in Israeli settlements located in disputed territories.
"Building has to stop in all the settlements. Both sides have to honor the cease-fire," El-Sheikh said.
Marwan Barghouti, another Fatah leader in the disputed West Bank, said that for the Palestinians a ceasefire meant to put an end to what he called "the Israeli occupation."
"The occupation represents the biggest aggressive attacks against the Palestinians. So when they are talking about the cease-fire, this means for the Palestinians to see the Israeli soldiers on the '67 borders not in Ramallah or Nablus or Gaza or Jerusalem," Barghouti said.
"I'm talking about the continuing of the Palestinian resistance - to continue the demonstrations, to continue throwing stones, to continue the armed resistance in the occupied territories against the Israelis," he said.
The 1967 borders Barghouti referred to were the borders in place between Israel and the Jordanian-controlled West Bank before the Six Day War.
The Palestinians want Israel to withdraw at least to those lines, while Israel challenges the view that it is obliged by international law to do so.
The U.S.-sponsored Mitchell Report called for an immediate halt to all violence and incitement as a first step toward returning the sides to diplomatic negotiations.
Itamar Marcus, director of the Palestinian Media Watch watchdog group, said Tuesday that while the PA was not inciting the masses to take to the streets, it was still intent on de-legitimizing the Jewish state.
Marcus said the PA media disseminated two types of incitement. The first, which aims to de-legitimize Israel, is continuing. The second, which is aimed at encouraging Palestinians to riot by showing hours of footage of rioting has been suspended.
The first type, he said, was "much more dangerous," in that it lays the foundation that keeps hatred alive.
Marcus cited a television program broadcast on Tuesday, when a Palestinian teacher told his students that Israeli "criminal oppressive forces" had entered the coastal city of Ashkelon in 1947, "and they are there until today."
"Ashkelon will return to its owners and the [former Palestinian] residents of Ashkelon will return to their place," he continued. "It is their heritage and they will throw the foreigners to wherever they'll throw them."
Another example, Marcus said, was a newspaper article Monday claiming Israeli helicopters had dropped "suspicious objects" in PA-controlled areas and warning people not to approach them.
Such reports created fear and hatred for Israelis, Marcus said.
The Israeli army spokesman said in reaction to the claim: "The Palestinians are constantly coming up with various ridiculous claims, the latest of which that Israeli Air Force dropped candy to poison Palestinians.
"This is part of an overall effort to incite Palestinian population against Israel. The PA or whoever issues such reports should be thoroughly questioned and held accountable for what they say."

Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff and Amanda Seyfried: Hottest Star Sightings of the Day (PHOTOS)
Taylor Swift was a big winner and took home three awards in Frankfurt on Sunday. The singer-songwriter tied with Justin Bieber for the most wins of the evening.
Swift posed proudly with her awards in a stunning Marchesa silver and white gown.
Also in Europe, Les Misérables star Amanda Seyfried landed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. The actress looked tired after the lengthy flight from sunny Los Angeles.
Across the pond, new mother Hilary Duff toted around her son while running errands in Beverly Hills. Duff made sure to bundle baby Luca up in the cold weather by accessorizing him with a knit cap and fur-lined booties.
Duff posted an adorable childhood photo of herself on her Twitter feed earlier this month. The actress shared the photo in honor of Throwback Thursdays and looked a lot like her eight-month-old son.

I have to agree this results has also puzzled me. There has always been the
thought that Thomas 1735 could possibly have been a cousin, but the other
Moses line is pretty well documented (unless there was an "in family"
adoption which we are unaware of) so I assumed this was a probably mutation.
It sure gives us another possibility to look at, doesn't it? Thanks for all

Click here to view an animated version of this procedure.
The tonsils are glands in the back of the throat. A tonsillectomy is the surgical removal of the tonsils.
Reasons for Procedure
Tonsillectomy is most often done when other nonsurgical treatments have not worked for:
- Chronic or recurrent tonsil infections—Tonsillectomy may reduce the number, but will not completely eliminate these infections.
- Peritonsillar abscess—pocket of infection spreading outside the tonsil
- Enlarged tonsils causing obstruction of the throat
|The Tonsils
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Temporary breathing problems
- Vomiting and dehydration
- Infection
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- Chronic disorders
- Sickle cell anemia
- Bleeding disorders
- Recent or current steroid use
- Diabetes
- Taking anticoagulants or aspirin products
- Dehydration
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before your tonsillectomy.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may:
- Do a physical exam of the tonsils, throat, neck, and possibly other parts of the body
- Order blood tests and a urine test
- Review your medical history and current medications
Leading up to your procedure:
- Arrange for a ride home from the hospital.
- Talk to your doctor about your current medications. Certain medications may need to be stopped before the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia is most commonly used. You will be asleep for the procedure. If necessary, the surgery can also be done with sedation and local anesthesia.
Description of the Procedure
Each tonsil will be grasped with a special tool. The tonsils will then be cut away from the surrounding tissues and removed. The tonsils may be cut out with a scalpel or hot knife. An electrical current or clamps and ties will be used to stop bleeding at the site.
|Tonsil Removal
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
How Long Will It Take?
About 20-60 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is most often done in a hospital setting. It may be possible to leave the hospital on the day of the procedure. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for up to 2 days. You may need to stay longer if there are complications.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
- You will be monitored for any negative reactions to anesthesia or other complications.
- After you are fully awake, alert, and stable, you may be able to leave.
At Home
To help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Take medications that are prescribed as directed.
- Avoid talking, coughing, and singing for one week.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Avoid spicy, acidic, and hard-to-digest foods.
- Eat soft foods, such as gelatin and pudding, for 3-4 days after surgery. Gradually return to a normal diet.
- Avoid swallowing hard items such as crackers and hard cookies. They may injure the back of your throat.
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the site where the tonsils were removed
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given, especially if it prevents you from drinking fluids
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Spitting or vomiting blood
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

I have mentioned before that my family is not an easy family to make breakfast for. Kelly and I are the only two who will even consider eating an egg, so that rules out so many breakfast dishes. No egg bakes and even French toast is too eggy for some. I always have my eye out for something different to make for breakfast that I think my family will like. So when Steve's uncle, Dale, sent me this recipe for scones from the "Tampa Bay Times", I thought it would be perfect to try for the family.
What I especially loved about this recipe is that you can make the scones ahead of time, freeze them and then bake as many as you need from frozen. The original recipe called for deli ham. I didn't have any on hand, but I did have pancetta, which I thought was delicious. You could definitely play around with the ingredients that you stir into these. I think dried cranberries and almonds would be delicious or fresh blueberries, use your imagination.
If you think scones are hard to make, have no fear, these were not hard to make at all. I was surprised at how quickly they came together. And they were absolutely delicious!
Pancetta and Cheese Scones
- 2 3/4 cup flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 oz pancetta, diced and cooked
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt (I used fat free)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Gradually add melted butter and stir until well combined.
Add pancetta, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and chives to flour mixture and stir in.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream and yogurt. Add to the dough and stir just until everything is combined and the dough sticks together.
Turn dough out onto a floured board. With hands, shape dough into a round that is 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 triangles.
Transfer slices to prepared pan. Place pan in the freezer for at least 10 minutes, until ready to bake. If you don't plan on baking them right away, transfer frozen scones to a freezer bag.
When ready to bake the scones, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make sure scones are well spaced on baking sheet, at least a couple of inches apart. Sprinkle each scone with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and slightly firm.
Allow to cool slightly on the pan. Serve warm.

Hurricane Sandy
I did not expect to arrive in New York and be greeted with an October hurricane, but hey, never a dull moment in NYC. The winds were really intense last night but I was fortunate to only lose cable and Internet, which were back up this morning.
In case you need a sense of the scope of the storm effects, this gallery will show you all you need to know.
Thanks very much to the courageous first responders out there, including my friend Daniel José Older, and to everyone who put themselves in harm's way last night to help people out. Now is a great time to consider donating to the Red Cross.
It looks like it's going to be a while before things return to normal, but hope everyone is doing alright out there and thanks for all the well-wishes!

Phil,

We have had other customers/users that had this problem due to LDAP failing sometimes. We added a retry parameter for the moms. You can set it in the mom's config file, just add the line:

$ext_pwd_retry <num retries>

If you don't really have users going to machines that they shouldn't go to, then you might want to set this to a fairly high number so that jobs aren't lost unnecessarily.

 Subject: Sporadic UID errors

 Sorry if this has been raised (there is another LDAP thread active but I think the problem is very different) before; I'm still going through the archives.

 I'm trying to evaluate (stress test) Torque 3.0.5 and 4.0.4 for a possible upgrade from 2.x and have come across some odd behaviors. ĀIn particular, when I submit 1000 small jobs to a fake one-node cluster running Torque 3.0.5 and Maui 3.3.1 (built in-house as RPMs -- not by me, but I can retrieve specfiles etc. if that would help) and authenticated against LDAP, I tend to get 2-3 failed submissions (i.e., about 0.25% of my jobs never get accepted); for example:

 ...
 14289.localhost
 14290.localhost
 14291.localhost
 qsub: Bad UID for job execution MSG=User pregier does not exist in server password file

 14293.localhost
 14294.localhost
 14295.localhost
 ...

 This is just a loop; there is no difference between job 14291, 14293, and what should have been 14292.

 Is this normal? ĀAre there precautions to avoid it, or is this a bug I should be reporting in more detail?

 Thanks for any suggestions; I'm not terribly experienced with Torque, so I'm not sure how quickly I should be bringing this sort of thing to the list. ĀI can provide more details about my setup and/or stress tests, but didn't want to dump too much useless information in my first post.

Men and women of our jury of this magical wedding of Hayley and Louie, held in what used to be the sacred training headquarters of St Patrick's, Manly, where young priests and brothers and sisters and nuns were trained for lives devoted to God, some even married Him and pledged to love, honour and adore Him beyond mortal coils. It briefly became the Pacific Conference Centre and is now the venue for wonderful marriages like this. The royal commission will sort out the cross benefits cost analysis of its historical past.
It is ironic that you asked me, and I accepted, the honour of being your master of ceremonies for all eight hours of your wedding and reception. I have done much to undermine marriages, indeed spent my life trying to carry out interventions in marriages at the drop of a veil, by inserting myself between husbands and wives and taking up at least an overnight residence with the latter.
You should have known, Hayley and Louie, that my life, Rake, is based on adultery and the promotion of it, of taking liberties with young women (but not you Liberty, a bridesmaid and a beautiful bestie of Hayley). You asked me to be the MC, when I am hardly master of my own domain, let alone someone who could hold together two, no three great families on this day. Hayley, your sister Candice married into another family and now there is a perfect storm of the three families joining together as a support group to withstand life's random cruelties.
Hayley and Louie, I hope your marriage lasts longer than mine. Hayley Rake, indeed your name is apt as we started shooting it when you first lit up my, until then, miserable, untidy chambers. Your CV described you with a picture, as required, as a lawyer and dancer. You had me at Hello, Dancer.
My own marriage lasted only hours at first. We returned after the hugely expensive society wedding in Blackheath, to my Whaling Cottage house in Victoria Street, Potts Point. My wife of hours saw two champagne flutes with lipstick stains in the sink with my own tumbler of quickly drunk vodka.
She asked what those flutes were, as she spent the night in a nearby hotel maintaining the ritual of a proper marriage. I loved my wife for her brutal honesty. I had spent my previous life as a committed liar, or spin lawyer in court, in bed, in conversations and in my daily affairs. I resolved that instant to start afresh, to tell the truth. I did.
I had two old girlfriends around to celebrate the end of my bachelorhood. I stayed at Sebel Townhouse Hotel for the next three weeks. It was a miracle of my persuasive abilities that we relived together and a super miracle we had a child. I learnt one thing, I pass this on to you Hayley and Louie – never, ever, under any circumstances, ever tell the truth of infidelities in your marriage even if caught in pari delicto. Deny. Deny. Deny. Lie. Lie. Lie.
Indeed, you already regret asking me to oversee this wedding when the odds of success are lower than the Blade Runner's prospects for winning the trial of the murder of his future wife. Let's not dwell on that.
I recall my own reception, where I was so drunk I toasted the barmaids instead of the bridesmaids. My ex-girlfriend came to my wedding, dressed in black and screamed at full volume during my groom's speech, where I was saying how I met my future wife, "That's when we were together!" and stormed out. She sued me for palimony the next day and for six years we litigated, but Hayley and Louie you still chose me despite my poor record of pricking the balloons of marriage by sleeping with many wives as there seem to be, like dry cleaning warnings in respect of their handling of your clothes, All Care and No Responsibilities.
However, Hayley and Louie, you embrace each other knowing of this in my case.Hayley, when I dictated the sexual harassment policy of my chambers to you, and you typed as I talked, you bravely typed on in tears. There were to be no encounters of the third kind, no suggestions, no innuendo, no dropped pens to look up your dress, even briefly but obviously. You asked me despite the fact you spent most of your time pretending to be my life partner at my bank when I tried to borrow more money. You still signed a prenuptial when you began to work with me. I should have known your power and ambition when you appeared in the titles of Rake as legal consultant instead of me. Hayley, you are so powerful and charismatic that magistrates and judges bow to you when they come into court. You kept my books of account in order when I connived to steal my own money from myself.
Louie, you came from Bulgaria to claim our brightest bride. That's why we have this dreadful boat people policy, to keep handsome men from overseas from stealing our women. You are a young barrister, with bursts of talent, and you are marrying a solicitor. You cannot do business together as barrister and mere attorney but she can brief you and debrief you. You can engage in funny business but not business. Trust me, these are the unwritten laws of which we are all constantly surprised. The unwritten law is harder to find in the law library or on Google.
Hayley and Louie, I can see your joy and the joy of all your families who have come from as far away as Bulgaria, your extended family, the Sukkars, and I see their marriages are tightly closed fists and nothing will ever separate those fingers from the clenched hand. There is more love in the room than ever there was when inhabited by young and old priests and brothers on their bloodied knees praying for their own salvation without ever hearing from the other side. You planned this wedding to the last detail and the last minute but you yourself were 30 minutes late to the altar. You made me believe again in love and romance forever until death, through sickness and in health, until death do you part.
My own life was a series of one night stands, strung together like party lights, which spend most of their time stuffed in storage except for special events. Hayley and Louie, you and your families have shown me the value of marriage, of the promise of lives together, the bonds of commitment that binds, despite the temptations of Tinder, instant dating hook-ups and the use of sex as the best marketing tool in the world because you have reignited in me the essential insight that love and romance are the firewood of marriage, sex is merely an accelerant like kerosene, the vow of marriage allows both of you to go into the world knowing that you don't have to worry for one second when filling out an incoming/outgoing passenger card that your next of kin, person to contact in emergencies, is your spouse, your only choice, your choice. I usually put myself down as my own next of kin.
Hayley and Louie, you seem so close that even the Higgs boson collider in Switzerland couldn't part you. Share yourselves with the world and open your hearts and hands and know that you are forever linked, but not chained to each other. You remind me that love is our only hope and hope is our only chance to ever love again.
