I'd had a midnight conversation that night with an old friend from HS, and he was telling me how he checks my Crackbook page on a regular, cuz it's interesting and all about real life. I post all day over there, from my phone usually... and am pretty honest there as much as I am here about how I'm feeling, but because it's a "status update" it has to be one or two sentences. I'd do it here on the blog, except for some reason my phone doesn't post to Blogger all that well. I should investigate Twitter. But I need another web addiction like I need a hole in my head.
A spaghetti-like train of thought started when another HS friend told me he had been talking to yet a third friend about me and the third had remarked that I had always been popular.
And that's hilarious cuz I never felt popular. Not naturally, anyhow. As I've mentioned in other posts, I throw lousy parties, folk don't often travel out to the Rock to see me ("It's faaaar" "I don't feel like driving", "It's faaaar") and I spend the lion's share of my time by myself or with my kid. It's so bad that whenever I'm NOT with my kid, folk in the neighborhood do double-takes and ask me where my tail is. Even the bus drivers ask me... "going to get The Sun?"
To truly be "popular", at least by my definition of the word would be work for me... it takes calculation. And as far as I'm concerned, that takes away from what being popular is all about... I think folk gravitate towards certain people because those people are easy with themselves and easy to be with. And usually, people who make them feel better about themselves. I think I'm easy with myself but I don't think I'm all that easy to be with... if I were I wouldn't be alone quite so much. I also think my tendency to be honest about what I'm feeling--about anything, including the person I'm with--can be a little hard to take.
What I'm good at is being honest with myself, although that took a long time to happen. It took me getting kicked in the teeth by life. A few times. Cuz I've realized over time that in order to be honest with people, you have to be really willing to be honest with yourself. And that can be painful as hell. And being honest with people is no picnic either, cuz folk have an AMAZING resistance to hearing the truth uncut and raw. Especially when it's about them. And particularly in this country, in our society.
That thought came to me later on that same morning, after I'd put the Sun on the bus with the Moon and Shoefly, and crawled back into bed for my morning hour nap before I had to go up the street to the factory. I'd left the TV on, so I wouldn't sleep too heavily, and in my half-sleep I heard the Today Show do a piece about the "Commodification of Hope". I thought to myself that Candidate Obama's initial message of hope and of change swept the nation and into the hearts of little folk everywhere but if he hadn't gotten elected, it would have become some kind of a joke. The Gollums would have been sneering at it for ever, taking great pride in bashing the hopes of people.
But the message worked; largely because it was perceived by the rank and file, the poor and the desperate and those who were just plain ol' tired of the same ol' ish, as being uniquely honest. And the Candidate Obama made people like themselves, liked their own potential for change and greatness. So now that he's President, it's fast becoming a branding strategy. I already see that rawness and honesty becoming the shiny, plasticized and sanitized version, the packaged version, to be spoonfed for the next few years until we take it all for granted again. (The Pepsi logo now looks even more like Obama's campaign logo... and I'd thought his logo looked like Pepsi's to begin with. When we went down to DC with Opus two weeks ago, the word "TOGETHER" was emblazoned across a building wall, with the Pepsi logo replacing the "O". I had to do a double take to realize that it wasn't Obama's logo. Kinda pissed me off, not for nothing.)
It seems we can't accept the raw, emotionally naked and truthful need that humans have for hope and for change for too long. We cannot be honest--really honest--with ourselves that our lives suck, that things need changing. To be honest like that requires too much self-introspection, too much calling ourselves on shit, too much pain.
People don't like the real. They don't like to see people really cry, they get surprisingly uncomfortable at someone belly-laughing. Especially if someone is doing those things alone--they MUST be crazy cuz sane people don't laugh or cry like that. Think about it... when you see someone sitting by themselves laughing their ass of, what's your first reaction? Although I'll allow maybe it's just a big city thing... cuz I can tell you in NYC that person would get a really wide berth.
Folk don't like to see real pain or raw emotion. But we can deal with the sensational... because when it's sensationalized it's not real anymore--like an overblown caricature, larger than life. So large we don't have even try to wrap our minds around it, so we relegate it to the unreal.
Like the man who killed himself, his wife and his 5 children the other day. It's an awful story; I just happened to see it as it broke on CNN.com. It sort of hit home for me, that initial news story before the sensationalism set in... because of a small thought that had entered my head the other day, as I rode the bus into the city to pick my Sun up from school...
My phone starts blowing up at 8:30a with the debt collectors. The phone calls often overlap or come in back-to-back. And about every hour and half, the same thing happens. All day. I don't like it. But at the moment there's not a lot I can do. I can't make payment arrangements if I don't know when there's going to be money. So I just don't answer the phone... but I don't like it.
I have a health insurance policy now... another high school friend
There are several reasons why that would never happen; one is that I fought so damn hard and so damn long for my kid that even though SD and I are getting along now, there's no way I'd hand over my kid to him. And if I left my Sun to my family SD would fight them. Also... if I disappeared and it was found out I disappeared on purpose, no money for the Sun.
But the biggest reason is, overall life isn't that bad. There's stuff I don't like about it, stuff I don't like about me... stuff I wrestle with, things I need to fix, but I can't imagine not wanting to be here.
Poppy and I had been talking about this the other day, cuz Poppy's hurting right now. A lot. His back is out. And I finally told him that we had all been pretty worried that he'd decide to check out. And he was vehement about having things left to do, to say, to learn. He also said that he doesn't believe in heaven or hell, and just thinks things will go "black" when it's his time to go, and he's not ready for that.
While he was talking, I was thinking about how I felt about that. I'm not sure we go black... but it doesn't matter cuz I'm not at all ready to find out.
I'm far from suicidal. But I do explore the darkside... I will let my mind wander to the darkest regions and some of the scariest places. Usually I can pull myself back. Sometimes it's a lot harder to pull back than other times... sometimes I do get caught in the darkness. Sometimes it's hard for me to watch certain things on TV or the news because I can go too far into the darkness. I've learned to avoid certain things.
But most of the time I go there. Because I've felt for a while now, that there are some people that need retrieving from the darkness, and sometimes the person to do that is me. I think I posted here that I'd once had a dream that I had gone into hell to bring some folk out; it was dark and scary with scary people... and there was a big bonfire out in the distance on a stage and a bunch of people dancing around it. The people I was bringing out were scared; they huddled together afraid to be caught. We passed too close to some people and so we hid behind a big bush, watching the fire, waiting for our chance to escape. I knew that I was going to get them out. I woke up before I did... but I knew that they were going to get out.
Yeah I know. That's a tad narcissistic to think that this is my mission; even I think so. But I had another dream similar to that so I've sort of accepted it.
Not everyone wants to come out of the darkness, though. Not everyone wants to step outside themselves, outside of their comfort zones. Sometimes I get too close the core inside a person and I feel the white heat blaze out; I know I have to let them go... they don't want me there, they don't want to go inside there themselves. Sometimes it's really sad when this happens cuz I can see such freedom from themselves if they would. Other times it's just really dark and black and I know I can't pull them out.
But sometimes, people do come out. They turn off the white heat, or allow me to pull them out of the black, and those are the ones that make it worthwhile.
I take those experiences and I apply them to myself. I too, used to be very defensive of my core, and my issues. Deny, deny, deny. But it didn't do me any good, really. I ended up making a lot of the same mistakes over and over. I felt unfulfilled. Boxed in. Lonely. So I decided I wasn't going to do that anymore. And I decided that I can't very well encourage folk to let go of their cores and heal their inside or follow the light if I wasn't doing it myself. Because they would detect the dishonesty... and that in turn would only feed the beast inside.
So... I decided to live my life out loud. I go to the scary places in my head, and I write about it, and I'll talk about it you get me going. I allow myself to go where Ervin Lupoe went in case I ever run across someone I can pull out of the black before the black gets them. I allow myself to be angry, or crazy, or hurt because in doing so I feel joy and happiness so much more. Looking at what I wrote it sounds downright bi-polar... except that if you're in control of it it's not quite as crazy as it sounds.
But it's hard sometimes, and lonely. And a little scary. I feel I lose people sometimes because I am this way. But as I told the Fabulous a little while ago, it's a wonderment to be able to love wholeheartedly, laugh loud, cry hard. It's very freeing, and I highly recommend it....

I was gonna avoid this but seeing as there is like NO type of new writing aside from Sportsune Cookies and these lists. I figured I put my reactions on the Top 10, a couple of other random thoughts and well...i guess thats it
1st Pick: Matthew Stafford(DET) Goodell wants to make the NFL Draft such a premiere event(moving it way to 4:00 is just cruel) why not kill the element of surprise with leaking the top pick. But Stafford….enh idk. I think that he will never have a great career simply because the Lions are doomed for the next 4-5 years. Then he will end up a backup making some strides but Pro Bowler I think not.
2nd Pick: Jason Smith(STL) He has all the qualities of a great pocket protector but at the end of the day, he will never be Orlando Pace. But its tough to go against a good lineman though, he will give his all 4 downs at a time, at the end of the day you can't knock him.
3rd Pick: Tyson Jackson(KC) While many(myself included) had Curry right here, the Chiefs didn't exactly "Raider" this pick, yes from now on any ridiculous pick will be known as a "Raider" Jackson will have fun terrorizing QBs and will eventually be the cornerstone of a much improved Chiefs pass rush(yeah I said it)
4th Pick: Aaron Curry(SEA) Poor Curry, not the slight pay cut but the going to Seattle, tough break. People was thinking Sanchez, but I didn't see it. Seattle is going to ride Hasselbeck PAUSE til the wheels fall off and THEN they will grab the best prospect in the next draft and thrust him into the spotlight, Seattle's defense resembles one of the guy that only presses A in Madden, its cover 2 cover 2 blitz cover 2 blitz blitz blitz
5th Pick: Mark Sanchez (NYJ) Crack knuckles To whom it may concern, Mark Sanchez is not going to lead the Jets to the promised land. He probably won't last 3 years. If he wasn't coming from USC he probably wouldn't be in this conversation. You still lack a decent running game, the defense will improve under Rex Ryan and if you wanted to make good on your Browns/Jets alliance you should've tried to grab Brady Quinn, if anything. You tarnished Brett Favre's last year by not doing something about an O-Line that ran out of gas leaving him to heave and pray or have his 38 year old body be crumbled by 2-3 defensive linemen. Mark Sanchez will suffer the same fate. All New York biases aside, Sanchez won't win 25 games wearing Green and White. But have fun marketing the hell out this guy as if he's the Spanish Tom Brady.
6th Pick: Andre Smith (CIN) Best player available, they need help EVERYWHERE, I still feel awful for Carson Palmer. He deserves better.
7th Pick:
Michael CrabtreeDarrius Heyward-Bey(OAK)
Of course the pick that has everyone going wtf. You would think they wrote Bey down for the next round and accidentally sent that card up to Goodell. OR maybe they fell for the fools gold that is Crabtree's injury. Whatever the reason may be they will have to live with it. Bey isn't a bad player, he has potential to be a great reciever, then again just about every NFL caliber reciever does.
8th Pick: Eugene Monroe (JAX) When the Raiders picked Bey, it seemed like Jacksonville was FINALLY going to get a big play receiver (a 2009 Holt doesnt count) in Crabtree and THEY passed. Maybe Crabtree isn't as healthy as he's claiming, or are the Jags also the worst drafting team ever. No, because they got Monroe who could've easily been a top 5 pick.
9th Pick:B.J. Raji (GB) Sort of like Andre Smith, best available THEY could've grabbed Crabtree as well seeing as Donald Driver is leaning into his "past his prime, can't bench him because he's Donald Driver" years. But they pretty much had Raji on their radar since day one.
10th Pick: Michael Crabtree (SF) FINALLY. Or as I said maybe Crabtree isn't 100%. I honestly don't even know who is the QB for the 49ers so thats a sign that Crabtree is going to have to do alot to make whatshisname look better. And Crabtree has that ability to turn the inaccurate passes into beautiful receptions.
Other Thoughts
- Why is everyone hating on Knowshon. While the Broncos are known for turning whathisfaces into 1000 yd rushers, Knowshon has that god given ability that complements any system. Kudos to Denver for not playing the maybe he'll fall to us later game and grabbing the guy they want. A dynamic player like Moreno can make any offense look good….Vikings, The 2002-2008 Chargers
- I wanted Pat White to be a starter somewhere, but he will be nothing more than a pawn in the over glorified Wildcat formation. Defenses all over is mastering it so I honestly think that its a dying fad, like cornrows or American Idol. Or a better example…scrambling quarterbacks in general. No wonder Tebow is grabbing his degree when he can.
- The Patriots are getting deep. I've just learned to accept whatever they do as what's best. They are slowly closing the gap on the Celtics as my favorite sports team overall
- I really like Josh Freeman. I think years down the line he will have a better career than Stafford and Sanchez. The Bucs actually have all the pieces, I think the NFC South is going to be fun to watch
- Ziggy Hood….how can u not like someone with a name like that lol

The Ducks' quasi-partnership with the Phoenix Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate did not work out as planned.
Turns out it didn't work out for Phoenix, either.
The Coyotes announced Monday that they fired San Antonio Rampage coach Greg Ireland. No reason was given for his dismissal, according to the Arizona Republic.
The Ducks, who do not have an AHL affiliate this season, had an arrangement with the Rampage in which a handful of their prospects would play in San Antonio, including Matt Beleskey, Brett Festerling and Troy Bodie.
But the Ducks' farmhands struggled to get playing time, and last week the club transferred several players to the Toronto Marlies. The Ducks also have a majority of their prospects with the Bakersfield Condors.

Grant Money For COPD Disabled Divorced Grandma To Get Family Vehicle
by Linda Schrawyer
(Omaha, NE, USA)
Myself and my grandsons
I am 56 years of age, female, divorced, and my daughter and three grandsons live with me.
I have worked as substance abuse counselor, and in Protection and Safety for the state of Nebraska.
I was doing well, working for the State when I became really ill, and ended up in the hospital on a respirator for 2 weeks because I just quit breathing.
Medically I am diagnosed with (C.O.P.D.) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, also known as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
I had to resign my position as a case aid because the position called for (40) hours weekly, and my doctor would not release me for more than (16).
There is not any cure for what I have. I can maintain a certain quality through medications; however, it is nowhere near what one would consider a normal life, if there is such a thing these days.
I was able to get S.S.I. and receive $764 per month for living expenses. I live in low-income housing; my daughter and three grandsons live with me. My daughter Christina is 24, and my grandsons are, Fernando (7), Miguel (5), and Jaydn (2).
Christina is working on obtaining her G.E.D., and now does work experience at the humane society. She receives $435 per month for her sons and herself.
We did have a car; however once I was no longer working we could not afford the payments, which makes it extremely difficult to go to the grocery store. We do get with some regarding transportation to our doctor appointments.
We also qualify for a food debit card, which in total between my daughter and myself amounts to about $600 per month. With today's inflated prices, that barely gets us through the month regarding food. The Good Neighbor Church helps with pantries when they can, mostly around the holidays.
I would like to be able to get a vehicle, so we can be mobile more then we are. I need a car or van big enough for my three grandsons, my daughter and myself to ride safely in. It does not have to be brand new. I am looking for reliability, as well as good gas mileage.
I appreciate what we do have, and I realize we have more than many other people in similar situations as ours. It is only by the grace of God that we do manage our lives with some degree of dignity.
I realize there are no guarantees when applying for this grant, and I appreciate the opportunity to apply.

What do you desire most?
As a mother or as a person? Well, I will answer both.
As a mother I want my kids to be happy, healthy well adjusted adults when they leave my home. My goal is to make them confident people so that as adults they don't suffer from self doubt, anxiety and all of the other crap that can get in the way of being happy. I want better for them than I had/have.
As a person? I don't know what I desire. I am a pretty easy person. I want to be able to pay my bills and have a little left over for fun. I want to finish my degree. I want happiness.
What do you desire most?
These are very admirable!!! I want pretty much the same haha. For me and my kids to be happy and taken care of. I also would like to have a bigger house lol.

Sour Cream Fudge
Recipe by justcallmetoni
Some time ago there was a request for a sour cream fudge, a thing I'd never heard of at the time. More recently, stumbled on this and decided to post it for those seeking such a treat. Have not tried it so I can't speak for the results. Cooking time is my estimate based on other recipes, go with what shows on your candy thermometer for best results.
Top Review by gailanng
I made this the first day I tagged it for Photo Tag Spring (Part 2) and it didn't set properly. Today I made it for a mother's day event. On my first try it was very pale in color, but on my second batch I let it cook until 242 degrees. It was a much darker color and set-up perfectly. The taste is very unusual, almost fruity because of the sour cream's tang. Though liked by everyone, one uncle seemed induced by this fudge. That made me happy enough!

Can a user fill out the same form twice? & Can you upload more than one image?Asked by parisexpat1 on July 13, 2016 at 05:07 PM
We are a property management company. We are going to use JotForm for our residents to let us know the condition of the property when they move in and then again what it is like when they move out. This form will have two columns: one for condition when they move in and one for condition when they move out. Ideally, they submit the condition of the property on January 1 when they move in. They are planning to move out on July 31st so we send them the same form and they mark the condition of it again in the second column. Is this possible?
The second question is can you upload more than one image? I saw some on answers on the discussion board saying this was possible but I cannot find how to do it. Do you need to be on a paid account?
Thank so much!

Hay fever hits at night
When the sun's out and the pollen count soars, hay fever sufferers start stocking up on antihistamines and nasal spray to ward off those pesky sneezing fits and streaming eyes. But while you might assume they'll get some respite at night, many continue to suffer at bedtime.
Research by high-street pharmacy Boots suggests that as many as 64 per cent of hay fever sufferers are affected at night time. According to the survey, out of 2,080 sufferers, the average sleep loss was 72 minutes of sleep per night when pollen levels are high.
"Hay fever sufferers may find that their symptoms get worse during the evening," Dr Peter Burt, aerobiologist at the University of Greenwich, explained.
"This is because pollen rises into the lower atmosphere throughout the day and begins to fall back to the ground as the temperature drops, exposing hay fever sufferers to a higher level of pollen in the evening compared with earlier on in the day.
"Higher pollen levels in the evening can also be because some flowers release pollen later in the day."
If you've been suffering at night, make sure you keep windows shut when you sleep. You can also try taking an antihistamine around three hours before you go to bed, as most doses work for 24 hours and will therefore protect you the following day, too.
It's also helpful to keep an eye on the pollen count. On days when it's particularly high, try to spend as much of the day as possible indoors. When you do venture out, arm yourself with a nasal spray and barrier products to ward off pollen.

Taipei City Government's Hydraulic Engineering Office (HEO) encourages the public to visit the riverside park to enjoy colorful carpets of flowers at Yanping Riverside Park as well as the nearby tourist attractions.
According to HEO, the flower season is expected to last until the end of February. The HEO invites the public to drop by the riverside park to relax in a field of blooming flowers or to enjoy an afternoon cycling along the bike route.
River Administration Section Chief Yu Pai-sung said the agency has been planting different varieties of flowers along the Dunhuang Wharf. Additional flowers will be planted this year, creating a colorful flower landscape comprising 72,000 pots of plants, he said, adding that notable flowers include mealy sage, red-sage, and wax begonia.
The flower scene is located right below the Dihua levee pedestrian crossing and observation deck. The HEO recommends the public to enter the riverside area from the Dadaocheng wharf, where a parking lot and a bicycle rental station are located, and head north towards Shezidao to enjoy the flower carpets. Visitors can either walk or ride a bike.
Visitors who come by Taipei Metro should disembark at MRT Shuanglian Station, walk or ride a YouBike to the end of Minsheng West Road. Enter the riverside area via Dadaocheng Wharf and proceed north.

Have you ever noticed an older person's wrinkles and wished that you would never get any yourself? That's pretty common, and, while wrinkles are unavoidable, it is possible to delay and minimize them as much as possible.
The trick is that you have to start early! It's important that you learn now about things that damage your skin so that you can be sure that you don't prematurely age your skin. Along with avoiding damaging things, you also must learn how to care for your skin properly during all stages of life.
Whether you're 15 or 50, start learning about aging skin care to be sure that you maintain a healthy glow all throughout your life.
Check out these four things that are aging your skin and take precautions today:
1. Lots Of Unprotected Time Outside
Even on a cloudy day, you need to be wearing sunscreen. Although most people don't realize it, UV rays (which can cause skin to burn, tan, and develop diseases) are present regardless of how sunny it is outside. Whenever you spend time outdoors, you are getting exposed to UV rays.
Before you decide to hide inside forever, though, it's important to note that you do need some exposure to the outdoors. There a ton of benefits to being outside, not limited to but definitely including the fact that you get a lot of vitamin D from the sun. Vitamin D is essential for your bone and blood health, as well as your immune system.
So, get outside. Just use protection when you do. Always wear an effective sunscreen (even when it's not sunny) and protect your eyes with sunglasses when possible.
2. Neglecting Everything But Your Face
Most people are aware of skin care when it comes to their face. Your face is the place where your skin is most exposed to yourself and to others, so you want it to look and feel great. The trouble is, taking care of just the skin on your face isn't enough to combat wrinkles and aging.
Popular remedies for aging skin targets more than faces for a reason: the skin on the rest of your body ages too! You might not feel that the skin on your stomach and hands matters now, but it will when wrinkles are showing up everywhere in due time.
Learn how to take care of the skin on your whole body. For instance, you should:
- Moisturize everywhere
- Use extra and special skin care products on your feet and other rough patches of skin
- If your skin starts cracking or you have dead layers, take care to remove the excess properly
- Keep track of warts and acne wherever and whenever they come up
- Hydrate your skin (but not too much)
3. Your Bed –In More Ways Than One
Most people assume their beds are safe and healthy zones as long as they wash the linens every once in a while. Your skin knows better. There are several ways in which the time you spend in bed may be aging your skin prematurely.
- Your Linens
What catches all the dead skin that peels off of you at night? Your linens. What soaks up sweat and gets covered in hair, drool, and so much more? Your linens. If you sleep with your bare skin against your linens and the sheets aren't cleaned often…well, you get the picture.
- Your Pillows
A lot like your linens, your pillowcases get to catch a lot of gunk. But it's not just your pillowcase. Your pillow can harbor dead skin, fleas, body fluids and sweat, and much more. Ever notice how pillows turn kind of yellow after extensive use? Most pillows are pretty cheap, so switch them out every so often to protect your skin.
- Your Sleeping Positions
When you wake up and find lines imprinted on your face from sleeping hard on a wrinkled surface, that affects your skin. Sleeping on your side, face down, or in an awkward position can also cause your skin to chafe against the linens and even hold your skin in pinched positions. As a result –you guessed it-wrinkles. Try to sleep on your back only.
4. Habits You Know You Should Break
Maybe this goes without saying, but there are some bad habits that seriously affect how well your skin ages. Don't assume that just because these bad habits aren't causing problems now that they won't in the future.
Be sure that you avoid:
- Wearing makeup to bed
- Going to bed without washing your face first
- Switching skin products constantly
- Frowning consistently
- Furrowing your brows or making other skin-wrinkling faces a lot
- Picking at zits or any skin lesions
- Tearing open scars as they heal
- Smoking and consuming drugs (a big side effect of most is premature aging of the skin)

Custom Right-Hand Drive '59 Cadillac Heading to Kustoms of Motorama Show
Perhaps a somewhat unusual entry at this year's Kustoms of Motorama show in Long Beach, is Wild Cad, an Australian built custom '59 Cadillac, owned by Down Under custom car builder Mario Colalillo and his wife Catriona, from Harrington Park, a Sydney suburb. The car features a custom built chassis by local fabricator Terry "TJ" Wood and is powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) Chevrolet big-block V8. It also sports a chopped top, Thunderbird seats and modified '59 Chevy dash. Colalillo says he's got around $200,000 in the paint alone.
The car made its debut at the 2010 Sydney MotorEx back in July and at the time of this post is now on it's way across the Pacific, where it will debut at the Kustoms of Motorama – an event which Mario hopes will help find his car a new home. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Metallica front man James Hetfield and even Shaquille O'Neal have apparently expressed interest in acquiring this one of a kind, custom built, right-hand-drive Cadillac.

vested with the title to all of the testator's real property, (including the property now in controversy,) to hold upon certain active trusts. They were given power to sell, mortgage, or lease all the property committed to their charge, and to reinvest the proceeds as they deemed advisable. It can hardly be doubted that, under the provisions of the will, they had the right to buy in an outstanding claim that was a cloud upon their title, and that a court of equity or probate would allow them to \ take credit for such an on account of the trust-estate. But, in any event, an agent of the complainants, who has violated his trust, cannot be permitted to make such a defense. It does not lie in his mouth to say that no relief should be granted because the court will probably grant relief upon conditions with which the complainants have no right to comply. It may be that the rents and profits of the property, while the defendants have been in possession, will be fully adequate to reimburse them for their expenditures in purchasing the interest of the remainder-men, without requiring any expenditure on the part of the trustees. 5. A decree will accordingly be entered in favor of the complainants, adjudgiJ;1g that the defendants hold the legal title to the property in controversy in trust for the complainants, and further adjudging that such title be divested out of the' defendants, and vested in the complainants, as trustees under the will of Edwin Chaffin, deceased. A reference will also be ordered to one of the standing masters in .chancery, to take an account of the rents and profits which defendants have received during their occupancy, and in stating such account the defendants Will receive credit for all expenditures on account of taxes, iasuranoo, and iinprovements, as well as for all sums expended in purchasing the interest of the remainder-men.

It is furtheI the general course of complainant's road stated that notice of was not received at the land-office at Helena, Mont., until May 6,1872, at which date there was received from ,the commi$sioner of the general route land-office a diagram, showing that portion of the line of of said railroad extending through said land-district. together w,ith an order instructing the land-officers to withdraw from sale, pre-emption, or other entry, all public lands in odd-numbered sections within' 40 miles on each side of the line of general route of said railroadj that prior to the receipt of said diagram and order of withdrawal at the land-office at Helena, to-wit, on May 3, 1882. one McLean applied under the homestead act of May 20, 1862, to enter the said subdivision of section 17 as a homestead, and he thereupon made an affidavit, as required bylaw, and filed the same with the register of the land-office and paid the receiver the sum of $10; but it is alle/l:ed that McLean did not then nor at any time reside upon or cultivate said land tor the term of five years, or for any time whatever; that in 1879, pursuant to a circular of instructions issued by the commissioner of the general landoffice, the register and receiver of the land-oflice at Helena notified McLean to appear and show cause within 30 days why said entry should not be canceled for failure to make proof of compliance with the provisions of the homestead law; that, McLean failing to respond to saiel notice, the commissioner of the general land-office, on September 11, 1879, canceled said entry; that aLout August 20, 1882, McLean died, leaving a widow, Maria McLean, who on March 15, 1883, made application purchase said land under the provisions of the act of congress approved July 15, 1880; that the commissioner of the general land-office allowed said purchase to be made, whereupon the complainant appealed from said action to the secretary of the interior, who held that the land walt from the grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,and ,allowed the apv;licant to purchase the land, and thereafter, on or aho\lt

June 17,1887, the United States issued to said Maria McLean its patent for saip.land; that after the death of McLean, bis widow, Maria McLean,marriedJohn J. Amacker, one of the defendants in' this suit; that the defendants claim title' under said United States patent to Maria McLean, and by reason of the issuance of said patent to her the United States refuses to issue to complainant a patent for said The complainant alleges that certain of the defendants have catlsed said land to bA surveyed into town-sites. with blocks, lots, streets, and alleys, filed the plat of said town-site in the office of the count)' recorder for the county of Lewis and Clarke, as an addition to the city of Helena, and dedicated said streets and alleys to the public use, said addition to be known as "McLean Park Addition to Helena i" that two of the defend· ants are in possession of, and claim title to, eight of said lots, but that the remainder of said land is vacant, unimproved land, and that the complainant is seised thereof in fee-simple; that the premises are of the value of $30,000. To this bill defendants demurred, on the ground that by the plaintiff's own showing it was not entitled to the relief prayed for. The coun below stlstained the demurrer, and dismissed' the bill. Plaintiff appealed., ' The land grant of the NorthetnPacific Railroad Company,: under the act of July 2,,1864, was a grant of quantity to the extent of 20 alter· nate sections'per mile on each side' of the line of the road through the territories of the United 'States,and 10 alternate sootionsof land per mile on 'each'side of the road whenever it should pass through a state. This grantwasi'however, subject todiminutionin'quantity within these limits by reasOn of the fact that when the line should be definitely fixed the United States might not have full title to all the odd-numbered sections within the limits of the grant,' These particular sections might not all be.free from pre-emption or.other claims or' rights, and some sold, granted, or otherwise appropriated. This might be probable 108s to the railroad company of land in place within these primary limits was anticipated by congress, and to make good such deficiency, and relieve cHtim:ants under the public land laws of the United States from controversies with the railroad company concerning the va· lidity of their claims, provision was made for compensating the company for such loss within the limits of an additional or indemnity grant. It was accordingly provided in section 3 of the act of July 2, 1864, that wheqev:er, prior to tbe time when the line ('Jf the road should be definitely fixed, any of said sections or parts of sections shall have been granted, sold,reaerved, occupied by homestead settlers. or preor 'otherwige disposed of, other lands should be selected by said compl1nyill'lieu thereOf; under the direction of secretary of the inteiiof; in 'alternate sections, and designated by oddntimbers, Dot more fihan 10 beyond the limitllof said alternate sections. By joint 'resolution '6(:M:ay31, 1870, these indemnity limits were extended by :cotl.gress'10 rb.iles further on each side of the 'toad, making what has 'been kridWb. and designated as the" Second Indemnity Limits." ,The

grant was, therefore, not only one of quantity, but it was also in the nattire of a float, to be located within the limits of certain exterior boundaries, containing such a number of odd-numbered sections as would enable the company to obtain by selection within such exterior boundaries the full quantity of land granted. The title of the company to lands within the primary limits attached to specific odd-numbered sections as soon as they were capable of identification by the fixing of the definite line of the road opposite to them, and the filing of a plat thereof in the office of the commissioner of the general land-office. St. Paul & P. R. Co. v. Northern Pac. R. Co., 139 U. S. 1, 11 Sup. Ct. Rep. 389. The right of the company to lands within the indemnity limits, selected in lieu of lands lost in place within the primary limits, attached at the date· of the selection of such lands for that purpose. Ryan v. Railroad Co., 99 U. S. 388. The land in controversy in this suit is 'part of an odd-numbered section within the primary limits of this grant, and, although it was lost to the complainant, so far as the action of the land department of the government was concerned, by the issuance of the patent to' Maria MeLean on, June 17, 1887, it is nowhere alleged in the bill that this quantity of land has been wholly lost to complainant by reason of such action. This suit was not commenced until September 4, 1890, or more than three years after the patent was issued to Maria McLean. This, period certainly affordedlimple time to enable the complainant to make selection of a: like quantIty of land within the indemnity limits, to make good the loss. . It will be observed that the claim of Maria McLean was contested by the complainant before the secretary of the interior, and that the patent was not issued to her until after that oontest had been decided by the secretary in her favor, and adversely to the complainant. By, reference to the clause of section 3 of the act of July 2, 1864, we find that selections of land by the railroad company in lieu of lands lost in place are directed to be made under the direction of the secretary of the interior. The same officer who determined that this land did not belong tothecomplainant is charged with the duty of withdrawing from other disposition a sufficient quantity of lands within the indemnity limits to make good those lost in the granted limits. Prei!t v,Railroad Co., 2 Dec. Dep. Int. 508. Pursuant to this authority, the sooretary of the interior has from time to time directed the commissioner of the general land-office lis to methods of procedure that would secure the adjustment of complainant's grant at the earliest possible time, and provide for the opening to settlement, as speedily as possible, of all lands Within the indemnity limits of snch grant not actually required to supply the lands lost in place within the original granted limits. 4 Dec.: Dep. Int. 90; Darland 'v. Railroad Co., 12 Dec: Dep. Int. 196. Moreover, .congress, 'by the act of March 3, 1887, directed the secretary of the interior to immediately adjust, in accordance with the decisions of the supreme court, each of the railroad land grants made by congress to aid in the construction of such railroads. These meas-ures have all' been taken for the express purpose of expediting the set-

tIement arid adjustment of all claims involved in the grants to the rail. . roads, whether within the original or indemnity limits. We think the acquiescence of complainant with the decision of the secretary of the interior for a period of more than three years, under the pending. conditions, raises a presumption that it has made a selection of lands in the indemnity limits in lieu of those described in the patent to McLean.· If it has, the most that can be said is that, under the terms of the grant, the complainant has the legal title to the land in. volved in this suit, and this is not sUfficient. In v. 00ck8, 23 Wall. 466, it was held" to be the universal practice ofcourls of equity to dismiss the bill, if it be grounded upon a merely legal title. In such a case, the adverse party has a constitutional to a trial by jury." But if, on the other hand, no indemnity selection has been made, then the injury complainant .hassustained by reason of the loss of this portion of its grant should be made to appear in the bill by proper averment. It is proper. to say here that this defect in complainant's bill was not suggested either in the court below or upon the argument in this court. We will thel'efore proceed toconsider whether the bill states facts sufficient in other respects to show a right to appeal to a court of equity 10r the relief prayed. The bill alleges thattwo of the defendants are in possession of eight of the lots in the town-site into which tbe land has .been divided. It asserts, in effect, that tbe complainant is the owner of the legal title to the whole tract, but it <108S not claim possession to any part of it, unless the averment that the complainant" is seised thereof in fee-simple" may be construed as alleging. !luch a claim to tbe remainder of the land nut admitted to be in possession of the two defendants. But this averment is qualified by the .further allegation that the land to which it refers "is vacant, unimproved land." "There is a seisin in deed, and a seisin in 1awiand theciitference between the two is that in one case an actual possession bas been taken, and in the other there is a right like that of an heir upon de.'«lent from an ancestor, while the possession is vacant, before he has made an actual entry." 3 WashQ. Real Prop. 138. The averments of the complaint, construed together, must be taken as meaninp; tbat the complainant is seised in law, and not in deed, and is therefore not in actual possession of the land. This brings us toa question, whether it is necessary for the complajnant in a suit of this character to show by an averment in the bill that he is in possession of the premises. In Orten v. Smith, 18 How. 265,the supreme court declared the rule to be that "those onl)' who have a clear legal and equi,t,able title to land connected with possession have any right to claim the interposition .of a court of equity to give th'em peace or dissiIn U. S. v. Wilson, 118 U. S. 86, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. pate a cloud on 991, the suit was in equity to have the conveyance of an adverse title declared fraudulent Rnd void, and removed as a cloud on complainant's title.

Bills quia timet, such as this is, to remove a cloud from a legal title. cannot bebronght by one not in possession of the real estate in controverSy, because the law a remedy by ejectment. which is plain, adequate, and complete. This is the familiar doctrine of this court." This doctrine was again declared in Prost v. Spitley, 121 U. S. 552,7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1129, where the court said: "A person out of possession cannot maintain such a bill, (1\ bill to remove a cloud upon title, and to quiet the possession of. real estate'J whether his title is legal or equitable; for if bis title is It'gal, his remedy at law, by action of ejectment, is plain, adequate, arid complete; and it his title is equitable. he must acquire the legal title, liHd then bring ejectment. I. The case of HoUand v. Cha1l.eri., 110 TJ. S. 15,3 Sup. Ct. Rep. 495, was a bill in equity to quiet title, fOUllded p.pon a statute of Nebraska, which provided"That an action may be brought and to final decree. judgment, 01 order by any person or persons. whether inadual posses,sion or not. c1aimin8 title to real against any person.or persons who claiI11.an adverse estate or interest thereon. for the purpose ot determining such estate, and qUieting the title to such real estate." The supreIIle court held that this st8.tute dispensed with the general rule Qf the (l()urfa of equity that in order to maintain a bill to quiet title it is necessaJ1. that the party should be in possession, and in most cases that ehould have been established at law, or founded upon indisputable or long-continued possession. The court, in explainingthe l'Ule, of equity jurisdiction jn the absence of such a statute,
.,. ,
"A bn, Q( peace against an individual an unsuccessful to rllal property ,would formerly lie only where the plaintiff was in possession, aM, his right had been successfully maintained. The equity of the plaintiff In such cases arose from the protracted litigation for the possession oftha property, which the action of ejectment at COlnmon law permitted. That action being founded upon a fictitious demise, between fictitious parties, a reCovel'Y in one action constituted no bar to another silnilar action, or to any number of such actions. A change in the date of the alleged demise was sufficient to support a new action. Thus the party in possession, though successful in every instance, might be harassed and vexed. if not ruined, by a litigation constantly renewed. To put an end to such litigation. and give repose to the successful party, courts of equity interfered and closed the controversy. To entitle the plaintiff to relief in such cases the concurrence of thr,ee particulars wasessential.-he must have been in possession of thepropertYi J!:e must have been disturbed in its possessionby repeated actions ""t)aw ; and he must established his right by successive judgments in his Upon these facts appearing, the court would interpose, and grant a perpetual injunction to qUiet the possession of the plaintiff against any further litigalIion from the same source.

.. A. bill quia timet, or to remove a cloud upon the t,itle of real estate, differed from a bill of peace in that it did not seek so much to put an end to vexatiou8 litigation respecting the property as to prevent future litigation, by removing existing causes of controversy as to its title. It was brought in view of anticipated wrongs or mischiefs, and the jurisdiction of the court was invok,ed because the party feared future injury to his rights and interests. Story, Eq. Pl. § 826. To maintain a suit of this character it was generally neethat the plaintiff should be in possession of the property, and, except where the defendants were numerous, that his title should have b6en established at law, or be founded on undisputed evidence or long-continued poesession. " statute of Nebraska, as stated by the court; authorizes a suit in of these classes, of cases without reference to all.y'previous judicial determmation of thee validity of the plaintiff's right, and without reference to his possession; and the bill was sustained on that ground. But there is no such statute in Montana. The onl,. law tin the subject appears to be section 366 of the Code of Civil Procedure of that state, which ' provides: '..An action may be brought by any person in possession, by himself orb18 tem\J1t, of real property, any person who clailns an estate or interest therein adverse to him, for the purpose of determining such adverse claim, estate, or interest." . This is the language of section 254 of the old practice act of California, adopted in 1851, and the Montana section was doubtless copied of 1851 was superseded by seefrom that act; but section 254 of tion 738 of the Code of ,Qivil Procedure of California, approved March 11, 1872, which took effect January 1,1873. ,The 'latter section provides: "An action may be brough,t by anypersori against another who claims an estate or interest in real property adverse to him, for the purpose of determining such adverse claim;" the provision relating to possession being omitted. During the existence of section 254 of the practice act the decisions of the supreme court of California were uniform to the effect that an could not be maintained under its provisions for the purpose of determining an adverse claim to ,()r estate or interest in real property unless the plaintiff, at the time of the commencement of the action,was In the actual possession of the property himself, or inpossessionby his tepant. Dunlapv. Kelsey, 5 Cal. 181; Ritchie v. Dorland, 6 CaL 33; Mining Co. v, Fhmiont, 7 Cal. 319; Rico v. Spence, 21 Cal. 504; Lyle 25 Cal. 437; Ferris v. Irving, 28 Cal. 645. To the same effect is Coolidge v. Forward,(Or.) 2 Pac. Rep. 292. In Curti8 \T. Sutter, 15 Cal,259, it was held that this section enlarged the class of cases in which equitable relief could formerly be sought in quieting title. n of equity in cases where b}lls of pl",8.ce would not lie, and it was explained that under thIS statute It was unnecessary plaintiff to delay seeking the equitable interposition of the court until he had been disturbed in his possession by the institution of a suit 'against him, and until judgment in such suit .had passed. in his favor. It was sufficient if, while in possession of the property, a party out of possession claimed an estate. or interest adverse to him, It
will be observed that while it was determined that this section enlarged the equitable jurisdiction of the courts in cases formerly reached by bills of peace and quia timet, it still required that the plaintiff should be in possession of the property to enable him to seek such relief. Where a different rule has obtained, it has been under a statute similar to the one in Nebraska. Section 738 of the present Code of Civil Procedure of California is snch a statute, and under its provisions the plaintiff out of possession, but claiming an estate in real property, is enabled now to proceed in equity to remove a cloud therefrom, or quiet the title to the same, as wae decided in Holland v. OhallR:n, BUpra, with respect to the stat-. ute of Nebraska. The case of Southern Pac. R. Co. v. Wiggs, 43 Fed. Rep. 333, was brought under the provisions of this statute, and, although the question of possession was apparently not in controversy, its existence explains the position taken by the learned judge in sustaining the equitable jurisdiction of the court. But it is urged that the sufficiency of this bill must be considered with reference to the allegation that the complainant can have no adequate relief except in a court of equity. Section 723 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides that "suits in equity shall not be sustained in either of the courts of the United States in any case where a plain, adequate, and complete remedy may be had at law." It has been decided that this provision is merely declaratory, making no alteration .whatever in the rules of equity on the subject of legal remedies, but only expresses the law which has lI;overned proceedings in equity since their adoption in the courts of England. In the case of Whitehead v. Shattuck, 138 U. S. 151, 11 Sup. Ct. Rep. 277, the supreme court said:
"It would be difficult, and perhaps impossible, to state any general rule which would determine in all cases what should be deemed a suit in equity as distinguished from an action at law, for,particular elements may enter into conSideration which would take the matter from one ,court to the other; but this maybe said: that where an action is simply for the recovery and possession of specific real or personal property, or for the recovery of a money judgment, the action is one at law. An action for the recovery of real property, including damages for withholding it, has always been of that class. The right whicb in this case the plaintiff wishes to assert is his title to certain .l'eal property; the remedy which he wishes to obtain is its possession and enjoyment; and in a contest over the title both parties have a constitutional right to call for a jury."
In the case at bar two of the defendants are in possession of certain subdivisions of the tract in dispute. As agaiust them, upon the facts stated, a suit of ejectment would afford a plain, adequate, and complete remedy. If the remainder of the land is unoccupied, as alleged, we see no reason, as was eaid by the learned judge in the court below, why the complainant cannot take possession of the same, and then bring the appropriate action to determine thtl title to the same. The extensive land possessions of the complainant, and the hardship of taking possession of its lands before bringing such an action, cannot properly be considcered in this case. The land involved in this suit amounts to about 160
acres. .TherQC/lu difficulty in possession of an unoccupied'tnwt of land of such; di'il)ensions, I09at,ed: asJhis is; and we are not at liberty to il,llport into this,case other tracts that .may be involved iQ like controversy and embraced in complainant's gl'a,ntof 45,ooQ,000 of acres. .. . , It is furthet, argued, .in favor of the equitable jurisdiction claimed it wUlavoid a multiplicity of But it appears for this. that only two af the defendants are.inpossession, clairuingtitle and exwould certainly not require more ercising ownership as to eight lots. possession, and indeed the law than one suit to determine their right is well settled that, under the practice act adopted in Montana, the plaintiff in aniactioll in tbe nature,,()f t;ljectment may join any number of defeI)dl\nts :Without regard to the extent or charactflr of their posses.
