You could be getting to know a guy, only talking to him for a couple of days but it's the weekend so he's rushing a date you're not really sure you want to go on yet. Or after talking for a bit you realize you're not really interested in him, but you both already talked about your mutual love of tacos and a date was hatched days ago when you were more open to the idea (and you just can't resist tacos).
There are two ways to get out of a date you don't really want to go on. You either make up an excuse or be completely straight forward. Although I think it's good to be honest and not lead someone on, some people do not accept no as an answer. Then there's confrontation that could lead to you being guilted to go on the date anyway!
I've been on both sides of ghosting. Sometimes you're both on the same page, the messages back and forth have become sporadic and you've both lost interest but you're being polite in conversation. Some times I ghost you because I don't want to hurt your feelings, you're a nice guy with a solid job but our conversations have been bland and we just don't have the chemistry. There's nothing wrong with you so I don't want you to start thinking that there is or resenting being told that you're a 'nice guy'. Other times I ghost you because I don't want to deal with the backlash of your butt hurt feelings. You telling me how high you are at work everyday. We have different ideas of what fun is and I'm beginning to question how you'd handle life and stress in the future. I ghost you because I don't want confrontation or to be bullied just because we're not really a great match.
I get why people hate being ghosted though. You thought everything was going well and suddenly nothing. You wonder where it went wrong, if there was just a misunderstanding that could be worked out, what's wrong with you that he left, or was it just that he found someone better? It's arguably one of the worst dating etiquettes to break because it can really tear down someone's self worth. It could be the reason someone gives up on love and the reason they stop loving themselves.
The thing is though, maybe the reason he leaves is the reason another man stays. Should you be constantly molding yourself, cutting off limbs so that you will be to his liking? You're not meant to fit into everyone's perfect match checklist box. And it's a heavy burden to take responsibility of everyone's self esteem. Just because someone leaves doesn't mean you have to devalue yourself.
So ghost or not ghost, you're still a person of worth.

And a fun something about yourself, like your favorite date idea/activity? 🙂
Leave your social media links too if you want!
well it's been a rough week
and I'm rather thirsty tonight
so I'm gunna call up my girls
and we'll tear up the night
I didn't call to say I missed you
I didn't call to say I love you
I don't want you back
I don't want your body lying next to mine
no I didn't call you up
It was tequila on the line
But what I do have to say to you is
I hope you're hurting like hell
With the town gossip saying 'he isn't doing so well'
I hope you're ready to come back begging on your knees
Because you can't stand another sleepless night with me in your life
And I hope tequila calls me up tonight sayin
I called to say I missed you
I called to say I love you
I want you back
I want your body lying next to mine
It's me on the line

"I want someone who can talk about their feelings with me
who wants to spend their free time with me
who says and shows how much they care about me."
And to make sure you really understood, I said
"I want someone who would watch my house at night
to make sure it didn't burn down
because they forgot to blow out the candle after we say goodnight."
And in your eyes I knew you remembered
that love you didn't have for me.
-May 2017
I've developed a bad defense mechanism over my dating history. I tend to stay away from guys who are in the same profession as my exes. My motto has become: If one of you is a liar then all of you are liars!
That's not really fair to make that stereotype but it's a way to keep my heart safe. I'm on guard of you immediately if you suit up the same way as he did. Of course, all it took was one guy to break my trust and it would only take one guy that stays to break this stereotype and fear I have.
I've also started asking potential suitors "name three words that describe you". It's a good way to get to know what a person is really about but it's also another defense mechanism. If anyone mentions stubborn as a character trait, it's an immediate red flag. Perhaps regardless of my dating history, stubborn would be a red flag for most people since it signals someone who is uncompromising because their way is the only way. But I instantly close up because I'm not going down that road again (even if it was only in my mind).
I've paid for other's mistakes as well, like when I broke Different's trust in a seemingly innocent act of looking through social media. Stubborn has also told me that I remind him of his ex. I didn't ask in what ways but let's be honest, she's an ex for a reason and you don't willingly dive back into the past.
The thing is no two people are the same and just because it didn't work out with him doesn't mean I shouldn't open up to someone similar in the future. It's Stubborn's history that stops him from making a new future and I need to stop carving down the same path.
It just takes one person to prove they're not all the same.

Ok, so a great start to the day for me, I went to the gym and I found out I have managed to loose 3 kg, just over 6.5 lbs - nearly half a stone, in one week. I am very happy and impressed that cutting down on sugar and eating healthier sized meals really does help. Now I feel inspired for the week to come.
Also I managed to edit an origami video

One cannot really complain that the Lamborghini Huracan is a slow car. The 5.2-litre V10 in stock form is powerful enough to propel the car from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and then onto a top speed of around 324 km/h. But turns out there are a few people who feel, that just is not enough.
If you are one of those who feel the need for more speed, there are tuners like Novitec just for you. Novitec has worked on the Lamborghini Huracan Spyder and turned it into a monster of a car. First things first - How fast is it?
Well, Novitec has strapped a supercharger to the engine and fettled with the electronics a bit. The result of that is, a maximum power output of 860bhp and a maximum torque output of 960Nm. Performance numbers aren't available right now, but with output in these figures, bigger supercars should be worried. Maybe some hypercars too.
Novitec has also changed quite a few bits on the body of the Huracan. The supercar from Italy now sports a widebody kit, and the suspension has been lowered by 35mm, making it broader and lower.
A new front Bumper with splitters, new front fenders, sportier hood and a massive, adjustable carbon fibre rear spoiler complete the changes to the body. The Huracan now looks much more aggressive, especially with the Verde Mantis (Lamborghini speak for this shade of green) paintjob.
Only 11 such Huracans will be made by Novitec, taking its rarity quotient to the next level.
Drivespark Thinks!
Making an already quick car go even quicker displays a mentalist attitude, but hey! Who's complaining?

As a Hard Federation, both Oakham C of E Primary School and The Parks School share a Governing Body which meets each term. The Governors are similar to directors in a business, and act as 'critical friends' to the Executive Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team. Governors work with the Executive Headteacher on strategic and developmental issues, and on target setting, performance management and appraisal. They visit the schools to meet members of the Senior Leadership Team and to carry out their responsibilities in terms of monitoring and providing oversight. However, the Executive Headteacher alone is responsible for the day to day management of the schools.
Details of all current governors can be found in the 'Governors details' and 'Governor Pen Portraits' documents below.
Our Governing Body uses a committee structure to undertake our monitoring and evaluation role. The membership and terms of reference of committees are reviewed annually. In November 2015 it was agreed to revise the structure and reduce the number of committees from six to three. From January 2016 the committees are: Provisions, Resources and Pay Review. Details of current and former committees and membership are in another document below.
Some of our committees are given delegated powers to make decisions that do not require approval from the full Governing Body. In addition, like many governing bodies, we sometimes form working groups to focus on specific problems or issues.
All governors are required annually to declare any interests they may have in relevant businesses or other educational establishments. Relevant details are shown in a document below.
Minutes of Full Governing Body meetings and committee meetings are available, if required, in the school office.
If you have any comment for, or need to contact, the Governing Body please email firstname.lastname@example.com or leave a message at the school office.
If you are interested in becoming a school governor and would like to know more about the role please contact any of the Governors, or the school office.

By James V. Grimaldi and Jacqueline Trescott
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, August 2, 2007
The Smithsonian Institution yesterday replaced Gary M. Beer as chief executive of the museum complex's embattled business unit after an inspector general's report found he had abused his institution-issued credit card and billed thousands of dollars in expenditures that were unauthorized or lacked evidence of a business purpose.
Acting Smithsonian Secretary Cristián Samper named Tom Ott, president of Smithsonian Publishing, as the acting chief executive of Smithsonian Business Ventures. Ott, 48, immediately replaces Beer, the founding chief executive of the unit who had announced he would remain on the job until September when his contract ended. The early departure was "by mutual agreement," Samper said. "We wanted to turn that page."
Samper said yesterday he would direct Beer to reimburse the Smithsonian $30,000 for expenses that were deemed "unsupported," or lacking documents to justify them as reasonable business expenses. Samper also said the Smithsonian would reclassify about $65,000 in inadequately substantiated expenses as reportable income, meaning Beer might have to pay additional income taxes.
Beer did not submit vouchers or expense reports as required under Smithsonian policy and instead arranged for his credit card to be paid directly by the Smithsonian, Inspector General A. Sprightley Ryan found in a report released yesterday. He routinely wrote checks to cover personal expenses he charged, though personal use of the card violated Smithsonian policy, the report said.
A fiscal officer working for Beer often authorized Smithsonian payments to the credit card company that exceeded the amount owed. That happened so frequently that Beer's account carried a credit for 36 of the 60 months reviewed by the inspector general, Ryan said.
Beer's attorney, Leslie Kiernan, said in a nine-page letter to the Smithsonian that Beer had done nothing wrong. She blasted the inspector general's 16-month investigation of Beer and the business unit, saying the probe had "devolved into an inquisition" and the final report "falsely and publicly smears Mr. Beer and the institution itself."
"The IG report confirms that I received no outside income or perks, and found nothing illegal or unethical," Beer said in a letter to his staff announcing his early departure.
"This is a case about misplaced records, not misappropriated funds," Kiernan said. "There is no evidence that any of the expenses at issue were incurred for Mr. Beer's personal benefit and all evidence that is now available show that they were incurred during routine business travel, for business dinners and other obvious business purposes."
Marina Ein, a spokeswoman for Kiernan, said Beer disagreed with the Smithsonian's reclassifying certain expenses as income.
Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), a member of the Smithsonian's governing board, testified during a House Administration Committee oversight hearing that the situation at the business ventures unit "is something where we believe we found gross problems. I would call it a misadventure."
The chairman of the committee, Rep. Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), agreed with Matsui. "There is a strong sense in Congress that the Smithsonian has veered off course in recent years."
Beer, a former executive of the Sundance Institute, came to the Smithsonian in 1999 shortly after the institution created the separate business unit to run museum shops, theaters, concessions and publications and forge new business ventures. At the time, outside consultants predicted the stores would make twice as much money. But SBV profits fell 14 percent, from $27.9 million in 1999 to $23.9 million in 2006.
The review of Beer's expenses from 2000 to 2005 also found that a subordinate routinely approved Beer's expenses, and that the unit followed no written expense-account policy.
"Such practices do not set the proper tone, especially for an entity that is part of a nonprofit organization," Ryan said.
The investigation found that Beer charged the Smithsonian for use of a limousine service about 160 times, costing $30,000. Some of the limousine charges were for trips in Washington, though the Smithsonian also paid $28,000 for his use of a parking garage -- and $40 for two parking tickets.
Ryan did not recommend that Beer reimburse most of the limousine charges, though she deemed them to be unauthorized under Smithsonian policy.
Beer contended that a car service was more efficient and that the unwritten Smithsonian Business Ventures policy permitted use of a car service. Ryan noted that other Smithsonian executives knew that he was using chauffeured cars.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), who had requested a review of Smithsonian expenses, criticized the inspector general for letting Beer off the hook for the charges. "It is clear that just like former Secretary [Lawrence] Small, Mr. Beer thought he was entitled to champagne," Grassley said in a statement. "The CEO of SBV must have thought he was living in the emerald city when he paid the Oz and Oz Town Car Corporation and other limousine services tens of thousands of dollars to provide him a gold-plated ride."
Samper ordered a review of the Smithsonian travel regulations to comport with Federal Travel Regulations and said he would review policies regarding the use of car services. He also said he had appointed a task force to review the structure of the eight-year-old Smithsonian Business Ventures.
Rep. Vernon Ehlers of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the House committee, suggested disbanding Smithsonian Business Ventures, changing its name or reconfiguring it to prevent it from being something "autonomous that can run wild, as this one has done."
The investigation of Beer's compensation and expenses has been mired in controversy since it was launched in March last year. Ryan's predecessor launched the investigation, but resigned after then-Secretary Lawrence M. Small called her and asked her not to conduct the review.
The Beer report had been due in the spring. But, in recent months, Ryan has been battling with Beer's outside attorney, Kiernan, a white-collar criminal defense attorney and ethics specialist at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP.
Ryan said documents kept by Smithsonian Business Ventures, which Beer oversaw, were a mess, making the investigation "protracted and difficult."
Kiernan said it was Smithsonian Business Ventures' fault for the disarray of documents, most of which are filed away in 800 cardboard boxes in storage. The inspector general's "recommendations rest on the legally unsupportable premise that Mr. Beer should be held personally responsible for the Smithsonian's failure to locate years-old accounting records."
The inspector general also found that SBV did not have a written policy regarding business expenses.
Beer told the inspector general that the unit did have a policy, but it was not written and was different from Smithsonian policy.
Beer was not required to submit formal vouchers or expense-account reports required by other Smithsonian Business Ventures employees, the controller, Robert Schelin, told the inspector general.
Beer's attorney submitted to the investigators a sworn declaration from Schelin asserting that "in his view all expenses submitted were reasonable, in furtherance of SBV's mission and supported contemporaneously by adequate documentation."
The inspector general found a repeated practice of paying advances on Beer's credit card. Ryan pointed to a memo sent by Beer's assistant to the controller in December 2004. "The balance due on [the] account is 7,237.09, which is due by Jan. 6, 2005. Do you want to issue a check for $10,000?" The controller responded with a handwritten note, "Approved for Payment; Bills to be reconciled."

Bug off. It must be a problem in calibration. Ciao. It's so good to be communicating again. You know I can't compute instinct. Michael, that can't be K.A.R.R. We destroyed K.A.R.R. two years ago. Michael, Devon is calling. Devon is calling. Michael, I'm picking up a transmission in a highly-stylized dialect of the English language. But I saw him explode. You saw him explode. I'm doing what I can Michael. The feed is disrupted. What are you going to do now? Good idea. Good night. I think I may have something. Michael! Help me! ... Michael, help me! ... Michael, Michael, Michael... It appears to be a large... My goodness. Large isn't the word. It's enormous. I am the voice of Knight Industry Two Thousand's micro-processor. K.I.T.T. for easy reference, KITT if you prefer. Really, all you have to do is look at the monitor. Losing one's memory is so embarrassing. I've made contact. Micro-jam SFX Funny? I detect no source of amusement. My sensors detect the vehicle in question is armored with my protective shell. Michael, surely you're not planning to go nose-to-nose with that behemoth. No, Michael, I cannot. When you're one of a kind, companionship does not compute. I'm on my way. Michael, what's our plan? To coin a phrase, I'm out of here. Contrary to popular belief, looks aren't everything. Michael, I'm picking up something quite strange. My remote monitors seem to be malfunctioning. Right away, Michael. The risk factor is too high. Scanner SFX Scat. Michael, given the severity of the situation, I can no longer support your actions. Skedaddle. Michael, why do you need socialize with so many women? Wouldn't one be sufficient? This sounds awfully dangerous. They're headed directly for an extremely steep cliff. Michael. Michael, what do you think of a stunt where I can somersault end-over-end. It's never been done before, or better still. How about a flaming chariot? We can set my wheels on fire and do a jump. At night, it could be quite spectacular, don't you think? And then there's my new polyphonic synthesizer which allows me to duplicate and project any sound from any where. Michael, unlike that dinosaur, we can't simply push our way through. Right now, I'd trade. Trucker short hand brutalizes my vocabulary banks. Turbo Boosting SFX Unsafe, unsound behavior if you ask me. Michael, I'm getting some unusual readings. Michael, this is all very confusing. Very well. I believe it's time for a strategic withdrawal Michael. I see your point. Trust Doesn't Rust IMVU Product: Knight 2000 KR-88 Description Audio File About me? Michael, I should warn you that KARR may be planning to ambush us. Funny? I detect no source of amusement. Aren't I always? I hope you didn't take that suggestion serious Mr. Miles. I'm quite happy with basic black. Michael, really? By now, you should know me better than that. Bonnie. You're awfully quiet. Is something bothering you? I must point out that it can not be fired until its properly calibrated and Bonnie is the only one who can do that. Michael, that car. It could have been my twin. It was exactly like me. How did you know you wouldn't chicken out first? Already scanning Michael. KARR is taking the coastal road north. No Michael, I can not. When you're one of a kind, companionship does not compute. On the contrary, it's a compliment. And speaking of dates, we could have performed this task this afternoon if you hadn't visited that Rosalie woman. Thank you Michael, but it has been a draining day. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation. Being one-of-a-kind is a very familiar feeling. Pardon the expression, but he does have a few screws loose. You mean, IF we find her? Michael, Zeno first postulated a question which my twin would certainly be aware of. Tuwit, what would happen if an irresistible force met an immovable object? I have cause to make no such generalization. However, I project odds of 1,000:1 against my meeting of a more compatible human than yourself. Michael, I'm in position. Get ready to jump. Good bye. I heard that KARR and you haven't seen anything yet. Did you hear that? He's right. Of course, I wasn't informed due to the all too common problem of human error. KARR doesn't have my programming to protect human life. Innocent people may be harmed. I see. Michael, I can not allow you to jeopardize your life. I am assuming control. This is just amazing. KARR, I didn't know you cared. What made you so sure that KARR would turn away first? Michael, considering the confusion of the law enforcement authorities regarding myself and KARR. I'll understand it if you want to work without me until this crisis is over. KARR, perhaps you should be a little more careful and a lot less belligerent. No really. Michael, your logic in this case is totally illogical and yet, it's absolutely correct. Why are you lying to each other? Michael? Michael. Michael, what are you doing? Michael, what are you doing? Michael, please. Instead of being a problem-ridden prototype, I'm the new improved model. No one knows Bonnie, no one knows. I admit, I was somewhat surprised to discover that I was not in fact a prototype vehicle. Not at all. I noticed that too Bonnie. I'm not in control KARR. Of course. As you know Michael, I do not have feelings. However, for want of a better expression, being one-of-a-kind is a very familiar feeling. Michael, Michael, I'm on my way. Hang on. No Michael. Except for that brief reading on the other highway, I have no indication of KARR. I'm in your parking space Michael, where else would I be? Michael, do you realize it's 2:32 in the morning? This is no time to perform an errand. KARR, please desist from your actions. Many people may be hurt. Michael, Bonnie, my analysis of KARR's movements lead me to believe he is maneuvering for a long enough run to leap over the police barricade. Bonnie, unless I'm mistaken, you seem to be repositioning my main power booster. Of course not, but I need to charge my power packs occasionally. My power packs could use a rest. I have a question about that Michael. Michael, we're approaching a residential neighborhood. Michael, I hope the security guard has some answers for us. One of KARR's sensor devices has just been activated. I don't know, they appear to be sensor echoes of my own telemetry, but that's impossible. She's right Michael. Michael, why do you need to socialize wtih so many women? Wouldn't one be sufficient? Michael, I'm speechless. I know, that's what's strange about it. Michael, I have a strange feeling about this. Michael, I've just picked up a strong reading. You don't have to tell me twice. We dare not continue this chase. It's a rather tight fit, but otherwise, it's fine. I should think so. That other car is going to give Trans Am a terrible reputation. We need to make two more circuits of the area to triangulate it Michael. Thank you Bonnie. Thank you Michael. scanner sfx Michael, I'm getting some unusual readings. Very good Mr. Miles. Those sensor echoes last night were very puzzling. Very well. Well done Mr. Miles. I'll take it from here. What kind of component? Michael, why should that be upsetting? I have insufficient data to be certain Michael. However, since KARR is as powerful and as nearly indestructible as myself, Xeno's paradoxes should be a factor. Yes Michael.

Another aspect that you could want to take into consideration is the sort of fashions that your teen would be modeling.
Most ladies like to take kissing gradually, and unless she is thrusting her tongue into your mouth, do not take the initiative till you have at least been modeling her kiss for a minute. One particular of the insights provided by mathematical modeling is that primarily the same mathematical or statistical structure can often model seemingly different circumstances. By no means commit error contemplating the webcam model jobs as money generating tools that can make you rich instantaneously.

Though the nutritional requirement of one particular person may vary from that of another, the fundamental nutritional requirement of every teen model is the very same. The first of these was, as we have observed, an vital reform at Cluny, the model for the English monastic reformers.

My original reporting on legal events and trends:
March 11th, 2017
My latest piece for the New York Law Journal: Despite efforts to reduce the number of people entering New York City's criminal justice system for low-level crimes, the number of women arrested for misdemeanors has not been reduced at the same rate as for men, according to a new report. The study, by the New York Women's Foundation and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice's Prisoner Reentry Institute, found that 42,... Continue Reading
March 4th, 2017
My latest piece for the Connecticut Law Tribune: Legislation that would provide a wholesale update to Connecticut arbitration law for the first time in a half-century, an effort that's failed several times already, recently received a hearing in the General Assembly and appears ready to gain traction. Advocates of adopting the model "Revised Uniform Arbitration Act" (RUAA) are hoping that 2017 will be the year the... Continue Reading
February 17th, 2017
Here's a freelance piece I did today for the New York Law Journal about New York City's ground-breaking plan to use city funds to ensure that tenants earning less than 200 percent of the poverty level will have lawyers when facing eviction: New York City's plan to offer free counsel to low-income Housing Court tenants facing eviction doesn't mean tenants who fail to meet income requirements won't receive any help...

October 21st, 2016
Here is my piece just published by the Connecticut Law Tribune about a new pro bono program aiming to help close the access to justice gap: The power of the internet is being harnessed to make it easier for low-income Connecticut residents to access legal advice, and to make it easier for pro bono attorneys to volunteer to help people who can't afford to pay for attorneys. Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut is one of the... Continue Reading
October 20th, 2016
Here's a recent piece I wrote for the Connecticut Law Tribune about reforms to that state's power of attorney law: Sweeping changes have been made to Connecticut's power-of-attorney law, including making it harder for banks to upend the wishes of people who do estate planning by rejecting power-of-attorney forms. Reforms to the law came into effect Oct. 1. Leaders in the Connecticut field say this is the first time the law... Continue Reading
September 14th, 2016
Here's a recent piece I wrote for the Connecticut Law Tribune about a bizarre scenario: a litigant suing for alleged personal injury has been charged with perjury because he allegedly falsely claimed his mother had died in order to excuse his absence from court. Sometimes, you can't make the world of law up. *** An Arizona man sued Dollar Tree Stores, alleging that he fell due to a hole in the floor of one of the chain's... Continue Reading
August 28th, 2016
Here is a recent piece I wrote for the Connecticut Law Tribune about the limits on liability for mass shootings: The debate over guns usually brings to mind the Second Amendment and legislators passing laws about background checks and keeping guns out of the hands of people on the terrorist watch list or with mental health problems. An event last week at the American Museum of Tort Law in Winsted highlighted the role of tort law in... Continue Reading
August 15th, 2016
Here is a freelance piece published last month by the Connecticut Law Tribune: Vacant, foreclosed homes have become a bane in many neighborhoods in the United States. There are currently 896,913 properties in some stage of foreclosure in the United States, according to RealtyTrac. The impact of vacant, foreclosed homes is affecting Connecticut too. Two homeowners in Wyndham County have been living through the experience of having a... Continue Reading
March 20th, 2016
The Oregon Supreme Court has ruled that a negative review of a wedding venue is protected by the First Amendment. In doing so, the court also set precedent for how to distinguish whether speech is protected opinion or a defamatory assertion of fact. Justice Richard C. Baldwin, writing for the court, applied a Ninth Circuit test in Unelko Corp v. Rooney: "whether a reasonable factfinder could conclude that an allegedly... Continue Reading
February 21st, 2016
How do you overcome the ax murderer taking care of Grandma problem? Lawyer Peter H. "Tad" LeVan knows a thing or two about that. A few weeks ago, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, sitting en banc, ruled that the state's ban on former convicts working in elder care was unconstitutional. LeVan gave me a recent interview about this litigation. It started with a challenge to the law's constitutionality on an... Continue Reading
November 17th, 2015
I wrote a piece for the Connecticut Law Tribune about how telecommuting and taking conference calls from home can make lawyers run afoul of the unauthorized practice of law rules: There are probably hundreds of lawyers who are licensed in New York and living in Fairfield County in Connecticut. It's become commonplace for these attorneys to log onto their home computers to work on legal documents on behalf of New York clients, to... Continue Reading

Laura Elliott-Engel (1/25/47—11/2/2015) My mother took the next step on her spiritual journey Monday morning, passing away at 3:15 a.m. after a diagnosis with late-stage cancer a brief 32 days ago. My brother, Jeremy Elliott-Engel, husband, Jason Rearick, and I were with her, holding her hands as she passed. As we returned to Mom's home on a valley hillside after she passed, the sun was rising, mist was... Continue Reading

Here's my latest piece for the Connecticut Law Tribune: Connecticut lawyers can now be paid by clients for their services in chickens and eggs. Well, not quite. But an opinion issued by the Connecticut Bar Association's Standing Committee on Professional Ethics seems to have opened the door for lawyers to engage in barter. The committee was asked to offer an opinion on whether an attorney may barter his or her legal services... Continue Reading
July 27th, 2015
Here's a piece I wrote for the Connecticut Law Tribune about the mysterious death of a black attorney and the NAACP's call for further investigation into his death: Abe Dabela was 35 years old and life seemed to be going well. He had come to the legal profession late, after a series of jobs in the health care industry, and had recently completed a stint as an associate at a major law firm. He loved riding motorcycles and was... Continue Reading

Here's a piece I wrote for the Connecticut Law Tribune about a lawsuit alleging a police officer in Connecticut went too far when stopping two black men: When two black brothers were pulled over by a cop in the city of New London, the officer frisked them both, allegedly touching their genitals and their buttocks. When one of them protested and turned around during the pat down, he was arrested for interfering with the police officer... Continue Reading

Need Some Advice
ok so i'm thinking about buying either a one75 or the a one55 two pack. their both around the same price within 5 dollars. i'm not even considering paying that much for one95. i play AAA and i am about 5'9ish and 140ish. i was just hoping to get some feedback on what you think is a better buy. i think i would get an intermediet stick and would probably have to cut it down a little. just what are the specs on both sticks. how much diffrent are they really. which one would you buy. i dont just want to break one and then it done. and which curve pm9 or p88. i appricate some feedback.
But again this is preference. You should be more concerned with the LIE of the stick and that is a whole nuther post. But most blades these days are 5 or 5.5 on the shelves.
Generally stick flex should be about half of your body weight. If you have an 87 flex lets say and you cut off some length you will increase the flex number by shortening the shaft. Lots of manufacturers now have a marked guide where the knob end is to tell you what your flex will be with that specific stick if you cut it in that spot.
With that ... all manufacturers sticks are made slightly different or the same ... in other words one place where you cut it won't be the same flex on another stick in the same spot. Close but not an exact science.
For your height and weight you could get away with an intermediate IF you are cutting it short enough to get a flex about half of your body weight. I am 235 lbs and use a 100+ flex. Anything less than 100 for me makes the stick too whippy and slapshots lose energy. Wristshots however are decent with a whippy stick so again your flex may be preference, some folk like the "wrong" flex.
The sticks ... the One75 is better than the One55 in that it weighs less and may have a better grip on the shaft if it offers some notches or something for a grip.
The One55 is just a smooth plain old box shaped shaft absolutely nuthin fancy. I own 2 One55 shafts and use replacement blades, both have not broken yet and I bought them in December and play a lot. They take a lot of abuse BUT are not the lightest shaft out there. I just bought a Harrow shaft which is a better more expensive shaft and the difference is noticable.
But I am a defensive player and checking forward and the One55 made a lot of stick whacking contact with no breakage and barely any chips off of it. A very good durable mid priced product. They come in 87 flex only I believe and where I cut them gave me about a 96 to 100 flex so I was good to go. I am 6 ft 4 inches tall though.
The other thing good with the One55 is that they come in a longer than normal length which gives a bigger guy a chance to get the flex he needs.
You would be cutting a lot off it and the flex would be ridiculously high for you I think.
An intermediate stick's flex of say 65 (whatever those are) may be the best way for you to go.

Imagine being born blind.
You've never been able to see;
the world you know is black,
shapes and objects only known by touch.
Now imagine finding someone that makes your heart leap,
but never knowing what they look like.
It isn't all that strange. It happened to me.
Sasuke pushed his glasses up his nose, a nervous tick he seemed to pick up over the years. His walking stick guided him along the hallway, his free hand slowly reaching out to find the doorknob. Slim fingers wrapped around the cold copper, turning and pulling it open.
Strong, bold arms soon found their way around the raven's lithe frame; a warmth that was all too familiar. "Dobe," He greeted casually, resting his left hand on the small of the blonde's back.
"Ne, ne, Sasuke—" Naruto then let go of the Uchiha, reaching out a tanned hand to lightly tug at his sleeve. "— let's go in the back, 'ttebayo."
A small breath escaped Sasuke's lips as he carefully turned around, holding onto Naruto's hand to help guide him. He didn't say anything, allowing the other to drag him through the patio and out into the garden, sitting him down onto the large swing.
A breeze rolled in, caressing their skin, tussling their hair – the silence was calming, until Sasuke finally decided to speak up. "Naruto," He paused to make sure he had the other's attention. What he was about to ask was going to embarrass him, and he refused to repeat himself if he wasn't heard. "Can I—" Sasuke cleared his throat, "Can I touch your face—?" A light pink dusted over porcelain skin, his chin tilting downwards.
"Eh? Uh, sure—" Naruto dismissed Sasuke's discomfort, slipping down onto the grass in front of him. He reached down to grab Sasuke's hands, gently placing them onto his scarred cheeks – the grooves of each well pronounced, obvious to the touch.
How did he acquire these? Sasuke's eyebrows knit together as his fingertips danced along Naruto's jawline, smoothing over every inch slowly, as if to memorize the strength he felt behind it. He continued moving up the sides of his face to his forehead, cerulean optics closing as Sasuke slid his fingers over his eyes, tracing, memorizing, each shape and curvature.
He pulled away, stuffing his hands into his lap. He wanted to ask about the carvings in the Uzumaki's cheeks, but he knew it would be inappropriate at a time like this. He sighed quietly. "—you feel beautiful," The raven then scooted backwards into the swing's back, his cheeks a slightly darker shade of pink.
"Ha, thanks, 'ttebayo." Naruto grinned cheekily, crawling onto the raven's lap, his forehead now resting casually against his. "Y'know, you're the beautiful one, Sasuke."
