MIDDLEBURG, Fla.-- Firefighters are busy in Clay County. With winds showing no sign of stopping, neither do 7 acres of active wildfires in the area.
Action News has learned the county has doubled up on crews and brush trucks.
"That brings more trucks and more people to the game when we get an issue like this to hopefully throw more resources at it," said Clay County Emergency Manager John Ward.
Patricia Chappell is worried the fire in her backyard will flare up again. Parched grounds and strong winds are the perfect breeding ground for fast burns.
"Within a 10-minute timeframe of just seeing a little wisp of smoke to flames to making the call and it was totally engulfed," said Chappell.
As the crews load up to head to other hot spots around town, Chappell is just glad the forest service works so fast.
"If they would have taken probably ten more minutes to get here, I think it would have probably reached our property," she said.
Eighty percent of all wildfires are started by human carelessness. The Florida Forest Service says they need everyone's cooperation to keep wildfires under control.

Dr. Hankin served Syosset well for many years. While leading a school district with excellence for many years there also comes a resistance to chance. With the new financial challenges facing all school districts in New York, perhaps this is an opportune time for change and a fresh perspective on all issues facing the Syosset School District.
I'd also like to assure all Syosset residents that the Syosset School District had been an excellent school district long before Dr. Hankin took office as Superintendent, and will continue to be the gold standard for public education long after she's gone."

On a crisp November evening, more than 200 people arrived at Chelsea Mansion at East Norwich for the Syosset-based Long Island Jewish Community Relations Council's holiday party, entitled "Multicultural Visions, Artists Exploring Identity." People from all ethnic and religious walks of life mingled under the heated tent viewing art from six local artists, equally diverse, including Manu Kaur Saluja, a Sikh artist from Old Brookville.
Each artist addressed the audience and talked about art and how it reflects their individual identity as a Jew, a Sikh woman, a Latino woman or an African American man. Saluja, a portrait artist, explained to the audience how identity is a very complicated issue. Standing between two portraits of her brother, a cardiologist, one wearing a black turban and one with his long hair cascading down his shoulders, she explained why she chose to paint these two portraits.

FRIDAY, April 8, 1881--9:30 a. m.FARM PROPERTY INSURANCE.
On motion by Mr. LEEPER, his bill [S. 355] authorizing farming property Insurancen Companies to do business in three contiguous Counties was read the third time and passed.
On motion by Mr. CHAPMAN, his bill [S. 373] to grant a revokable license to a street railway from the Union Depot to the Insane Hospital was read the second time, and, under a dispensation of the constitutional rule, a third time and passed.
On motion by Mr. DAVIS, the bill [H. R. 266--see page 70, vol. 20 of these Reports] concerning bridges over streams forming County boundary lines, was read the second time and pressed to the final reading and passed.
On motion by Mr. MENZIES, the bill [S. 281--see yesterday's report] to amend Section 2 of the act of 1877 for the establishing of the State line near Green River Island, was read the third time and passed.
The joint resolution [H. R. 7--see pages 103 and 107 of these Reports] proposing an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors was read the third time, and, under the operation of the previous question, passed by yeas, 26 nays, 20; as follows:
YEAS--Brown, Bundy, Coffey, Comstock, Davidson, Davis, Garrigus, Graham, Grubbs, Hefron, Henry, Hostetter, Kahlo, Keiser, Langdon, Lockridge, Marvin, Owen, Ristine, Sayre, Shaffer, Smith, Spann, White, Wilson and Vancey--26.
NAYS--Bell, Benz, Bischowski, Briscoe, Chapman, Compton, Foster, Hart, Hutchinson, Kramer, Leeper, Majors, Menzies, Rahm, Traylor, Urmston, Van Vorhis, Viehe, Voyles and Wood--20.
Mr. Brown said: I shall vote for the passage of this joint resolution, but I am not sure that I ought to do so. I regard it very different from the proposition of leaving the liquor traffic in the hands of the Legislature, so that the different localities can settle the matter among themselves whether they will or will not permit the traffic to be engaged in. And if, at the next election, the people express themselves against it I will freely free to so vote in the next General Assembly. In my opinion this is the worst possible move genuine temperance cause. If this proposed amendment is finally submitted to the people it will be voted down, and that will set the temperance cause back at least twenty yeara. But the teperance advocates are clamorous for the opportunity of submitting the question to the people, and I will not stand in the way of the people expressing their opinion upon it.
Mr. COFFEY says: "Without committing myself for or against the resolution, I shall vote for it. The questions involved belong to the people, and I am willing that the same shallbe submitted to them in the form of an amendment to the Constitution for their ratification or rejection. More than 50,000 voters of the State are asking it, and believing their request should be granted, I vote 'aye.'"
Mr. DAVIDSON, understanding that he would have a chance to come in possession and be fully informed as to the views of his constituents before casting his final vote on this resolution two years hence, was willing to vote in favor of the resolution to-day.
Mr. HEFRON says: I shall vote for the adoption of this resolution, not because I indorse the provisions contained in it, but because I desire that the people of the State may have an opportunity of expressing at the ballot-box their wishes upon this much-agitated question. Upon questions of great public concern, affecting their moral or social welfare, the people, in my judgment, ought to be consulted at the earliest possible stage in the proceedings and their desires ascertained, so that their public servants may act intelligently and advisedly therein. I therefore vote "aye."
Mr. RAHM says: I voted against the prohibitory amendment, because I didn't believe in such a page: 149[View Page 149] law, when all the adjoining States can manufacture all they want to do, and sell their products to us. Our faming community would be the losers, especially those raising corn. It is better to pass a strict temperance law than to destroy the business and commerce of our State.
Mr. SMITH says: Without expressing an opinion upon the merits of the amendment, I desire to cast my vote in accordance with a conviction that I have always entertained--that being, that the people are the source of all political power, and whenever they express a desire, by petition or otherwise, to have any great matter of interest submitted to them in the form of a constitutional amendment, the Legislature should, without hesitation, make such submission, and let the voters of the State determine by the ballot, whether such proposed amendment shall become a part of the Constitution or not.
Mr. VOYLES says--I am opposed to this proposition. The resolution ought to be entitle "A resolution to so amend the Constitution that the property of such persons as are engaged in manufacturing beer, ale or other liquors, shall condemned, confiscated and rendered of no value." If this resoluton should go before the people and be adopted, millions of dollars of valuable property would become absolutely worthless in the hands of its owners. I am not in favor of doing ing tending to lead to such a hardship and ch destrucion of values. I do not believe that when the manufacturing of liquors and beer in Indiana shall be stopped by constitutional inhibition that the use of the liquors will cease. The Democratic party never gave indorsement to any such a proposition in this State, either in platform or legislation, I therefore vote "no."
Mr. WILSON says: The fundamental law of the State should express the will of the people. If there be any doubt as to whether the present Constitution does contain their will, the plain duty of the Legislature is to afford her citizens an opportunity to indicate their will in the way provided therein, without delay or hindrance. No man is worthy to represent a people whom he fears to trust on all questions of public welfare. He voted "aye."
Mr. WOOD says: I am entirely opposed to this proposed amendment. It is extreme and fanatical in its provisions, and will do more injury to the cause it is offered to aid than its authors now contemplate. The people of the State do not want it, and the expense of submiting it to a vote of the people, if ever it be submited, will be money wasted. Such a measure is fraught with danger of property rights. Thousands of dollars of property will become valueless under this pernicious proposition, and no good will come in return. It is a wrong step and will strike down vested rights and ruin much invested capital. It will aid nothing now demanded but be prolific of much detriment to business interest, and I vote "no."
Mr. YANCEY would vote for this resolution because the people petitioned for the right to settle by ballot that question. He believed in the sacred right of petition, and that the Legislature has no right to withhold from the people the right to vote on a proposition to amend the Constitution--the basis on which all our laws are enacted, and by which the people are governed. He voted "aye."
And so the joint resolution [H. R. 8] passed the Senate.
Mr. SHAFFER moved to reconsider the vote by which the joint resolution passed, and to lay that motion on the table.
The latter motion was agreed to.
The joint resolution [S. 6] proposing an amendment to the Constitution making the term of office of Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor of State four years instead of two, and disqualifying either from serving two consecutive terms, was read third time and passed by yeas 38; nays, 5.
The joint resolution [S. 7] proposing an amendment to the Constitution, making the term of office of County officers four years--ineligible to two consecutive terms, was read the third time.
Mr. TRAYLOR--This resolution will establish one term and only one for County officers should it become a part of the Constitution. All know that in many cases County officers during their first term electioneer for a second term. Many Treasurers say to tax-payers: You need not pay your taxes yet, wait, I will let it pass; and in one County in 1878, out of a $64,000 tax duplicate, the delinquencies run to $34,000--the Treasurer doing nothing but electioneer for a second term. And it sometimes happens that an Auditor electioneers with men who owe interest to the school fund, so they get behind as much as five years. The one term system will have a tendency to improve the civil service of the State.
The joint resolution [S. 7] passed--yeas 40; nays, 4.
The joint resolution (H. R. 8] proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State granting the right of suffrage to females having the same qualifications as males was read the third time and passed under the operation of the previous question--yeas, 27; nays, 18--as follows:
YEAS--Brown, Bundy, Comstock, Davis, Garrigus, Graham, Grubbs, Hart, Henry, Hostetter, Hutchinson, Kahlo, Keiser, Langdon, Leeper, Lockridge, Menzies, Owen, Ristine, Sayre, Shaffer, Smith, Spann, Van Vorhis, White, Wilson and Yancy--27.
NAYS--Bell, Benz, Bischowski, Brisoe, Chapman, Compton, Davidson, Foster, Hefron, Kramer, Majors, Marvin, Rahm, Traylor, Urmston, Viehe, Voyles and Wood--18.
Mr. BROWN said: Eary at the last session I brought in a bill for a Constitutional Convention. I was then answered by the Republican members of the Senate that the seven amendments then pending to the Constitution, if adopted, would cure all the ills that were existing in consequence of a defective Constitution; that they would bind up the bruised arms and heal all the wounds of the people. Yet I find that in less than one month after the adoption of the seven amendments eight more are brought in, principally by Republicans, as necessary to cure Constitutional imperfections. I think more is being done to-day than has been done before to hasten the day when the people will call a Convention to interpose in their behalf against this patch-work upon the Constitution and a rectification of this foolishness. And my desire that there shall soon be such a Convention, for such purposes, is the controlling reason why I vote for these amendments.
Mr. HEFRON says: Though I am always willing to submit to the judgment of the people upon questions of all public concern, I can not give the sanction of my vote to a proposition which contaius such unreasonable and such unjust discriminations, as in my judgment, are contained in this resolution. I vote "no."
Mr. RAHM says: I have asked quite a large number of ladies of both parties in Vanderburgh County if they desired to vote, etc., and each and every one answered "No!"with the request for me to vote against all such nonsense. I vote "no."
Mr. WILSON says: "I believe 'all women (equally with men) are born free and equal;' that representation should go with taxation. Why should we refuse equal voice in the Government to the good, the pure, the intelligent citizen because she is a woman, and grant it to the low, vicious and ignorant simply because he is man? I do not believe any man was ever injured by association with the other sex in any legitimate enterprise in life. Why should we fear to share with them political power, and yet trust them with our 'lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor?' At least I am willing to let our page: 150[View Page 150] people direct us, and abide the expression of their will constitutionally expressed."
Mr. YANCEY says: I vote for this resolution because I believe it but right and just.
And so the joint resolution [H. R. 8] passed the Senate.
The joint resolution [S. 15] proposing an amendment to the State Constitution, increasing the number of Supreme Judge to nine, five of whom shall form a quorum, to serve for six years if they so long behave well, was read the third time and rejected by yeas, 18; nays, 23.
The joint resolution [S. 16] proposing to amend the Constitution so the Senate shall be compose of thirty and the House of Representatives of sixty members, was also rejected by yeas, 9; nays, 32.
The joint resolution [S. 17] proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Indiana so that the regular sessions of the General Assembly may continue for 100 days and special, or called, sessions thirty days, was read the third time and passed by yeas, 34; nays, 8.
Mr. BELL introduced a bill [S. 376] to authorize any cities or town having a bonded debt and having a sinking fund created for the liquidation of said debt, to loan the said sinking fund and add the interest to the principal of said fund, which was read the first time.
The Senate returned to the bill S. 393.
Committee amendments to over twenty sections were adopted.
Mr. MARVIN said there are small streams all over the State that dry up in the summer, but have fish in them in November. He moved to amend so as allow a six foot dip net to be used in that month in any creek.
Mr. HENRY objected to this proviso.
Mr. LANGDON was sure the people desired the fish protected. Under such amendments poachers would be on hand and the streams would be depopulated of food fishes. Fishes in the streams of Indiana are almost all gone. It is said one acre of pure water will produce more food product than five acres of land. Let us join hands on the subject of protecting and propagating fishes, and in time more can be taken by hook and line than by seine now. Fish food in Indiana is the rich man's food, because the streams are so depleted that fish are costly, and are imported from other States. He opposed the amendment.
Mr. WILSON also objected to the amendment. Let such amendments be withheld for two years, and he hoped, under the auspices of the Fish Commission, much advantage will be seen from its operation.
Mr. MARVIN withdrew his amendment.
On motion by Mr. LOCKRIDGE, Section 163 was amended so as to prohibit the malicious depositing of any putrid, noisome or offensive substance on any public highway.
On motion by Mr. RISTINE, the bill [H.R. 359--see page 112, vol. 20.] relating to the operation of the United States Court and geodetic survey in the State of Indiana was read the second time by title and the third time by sections under a dispensation of the rules.
Mr. RISTINE said this a measure which costs the State of Indiana nothing, and will result in great benefit to the State. The purpose of this bill is to aid the survey to be made and enable stations to be erected on elevated knobs--perhaps one or more in a County. Another object of the bill is to protect a permanent monument that is to be placed the earth and prevent it from being removed.
The bill passed--yeas, 86; nays, 1.
On motion by Mr. FOSTER, the bill [H. R. 124] relating to sales by infants of real and personal property, providing for disaffirming such sales and recovery of the property, was read the third time.
Mr. BELL--It provides that an infant femme covert can not, after making a conveyance, set it aside without repaying the consideration, and in other cases where an infant falsely represents to be of lawful age, the same requirements follow.
Mr. MENZIES objected to the bill, especially to the second section, which proposes to strike down the shield for infants.
Mr. BELL insisted this bill was in the interest of common honesty, and intended to strike the sword from the hand of infants and not to touch the shield.
Mr. BROWN said: This bill, if passed into a law, would affect past as well as future transaction. Upon principle it is unwise to overturn a law upon the subject of contracts without a saving clause that it shall apply to the future only. This bill leaves a port open by which the greatest kind of frauds could be perpetrated. He gave reasons why the bill should not pass.
Mr. FOSTER advocated the passage of the bill.
Mr. HENRY declared this bill to be in the interest of grossest dishonesty.
Mr. CHAPMAN thought the bill ought to be recommitted. The second section states what the law should be, in his judgment.
On motion by Mr. BUNDY, the bill was referred to a Select Committee of three.
On motion by Mr. COMSTOCK, the Senate voted to adhere to its amendments to the bill [H. R. 219] concerning husband and wife, and ask for a Committee of Free Conference.
The Senate took recess till 7:30 o'clock.
Mr. Traylor took the Chair, and directed the Clerk to read the bill [H. R. 367] concerning proceedings in criminal cases. After some time--
Came an adjournment till to morrow.
FRIDAY, April 8, 1881, 9 a. m.PLATE GLASS INSURANCE.
The bill [S. 368] supplemental to an act regulating foreign Insurance Companies, was read the second time.
Mr. FURNAS moved to amend the bill by adding to Section 1, Provided that nothing in this act shall effect or control the prosecutions for violation of law and of the provisions of the foreign insurance laws of the State prior to the passage of this act.
Mr. EDWINS was opposed to this amendment, for the reason that this Plate Glass Insurance Company about a year ago got a certificate from the officers of State, certifying that they could do business in the State with $100,000 capital. The Company is not strictly responsible, therefore he thought the amendment should not be adopted.
Mr. RYAN said this Insurance Company knew when they commenced doing business in this State that they were doing so in violation of law--a well-established, recognized statute of the State, and that they were seeking and willing to take its chances of slipping through, and transact business in the manner in which they did without proseution. It would be an unjust discrimination against other organizations were the page: 15[1][View Page 15[1]]Legislature to step in and legalize the acts after having been visited with the consequence of violation of law. These laws were supposed to have been instituted to protect the rights of the people, and if this Insurance Company takes its chances in the violation of the law, I say it is small business for this body to pass a law exempting them from the consequences of this penal offense. This amendment is one which ought to prevail. I am utterly opposed to this thing of legalized statutes, and this Legislature has run entirely mad upon that subject. Corporations, Insurance Companies, Notaries Public and officers of all kinds have been in here during the session with legalizing acts. The Legislature had better organize itself into a different sort of an Institution or stop legalizing any corporation or individual which has violated the law. Any horse thief has as good a right to come in here and say that the Auditor of the State gave him the priviledge to steal that horse, and that the Legislature should pass a law relieving him of the penalty. I hope the amendment will prevail.
Mr. FRAZIER--This bill, by its first section, changes the amount of capital required to be held by Plate Glass Insurance Companies from $200,000 to $100,000. This is as it should be. Life and Fire Insurance Companies are liable at any time to suffer large losses, even beyond the amount of the capital required; but the business of insuring plate glass is small. The loss liable to be sustained is small compared with the loss which may befall a Fire Insurance Company; and if $200,000 is sufficient for a Fire or Life Insurance Company, $100,000 is certainly sufficient for a Plate Glass Company. No Plate Glass Company in the country has more that $100,000 capital, and to require more is to exclude them from doing business in the State. The second section makes all associations and partnerships not incorporated under Indiana laws and engaged in the business of insuring plate glass foreign Insurance Companies within the meaning of the act, This is certainly right. We require incorporated Companies to have certain qualifications or they can not do business in the State, and yet a firm without capital can, under the law, do business here and pay no taxes, be governed by no laws, have no agent here upon whom summons can be served, pay their losses if they see fit, and if they fail our citizens are compelled to go out of the State to sue. I can not see the consistency of making certain requirements of a corporation and at the same time permitting partnerships to transact the same business without any of these requirements. The second section puts all, whether corporations, associations or partnerships, upon an equality, and makes the same requirements of all.
The amendment of the gentleman from Marion is for the purpose of permitting one of these partnerships, which is amenable to no law of the State, to persecute and harrass in the Courts a corporation which seeks to comply with the law, pays taxes, has the requisite capital, and can be sued in this State. The adoption of the amendment would be an injunction, and it should not be adopted.
Mr. KENNER--There is one fundamental section in the bill of rights which says the General Assembly shall not grant to any citizen previlege which shall not be extended to other citizens. If this Company has violated the law--if they have got into the State of Indiana and conducted their business with $100,000 or less capital, when the law says a Company of this kind shall have $200,000 capital, they have violated the law, and the question with us is: Shall we settle this matter here after the Court has held her amenable to the law for violation and say they are exonerated? I believe the law is unconstitutional on the merits of the bill itself. It says there is an Insurance Company which came into the State, issued policies, with a capital of only $100,000 capital when other Companies must have $200,000 capital, thus giving them a right which we deny every other Company in this broad land. I do not want to go that far. I say, let the amendment prevail.
Mr. MOODY--I insist it was no fault of the Company that they did business in this State with a capital of only $100,000 instead of $200,000, for the authority of our own State, issued under seal of the Auditor of State, said they might takes risks in this State with their capital stock, and now are we to say that the door shall stand open for these New York gentlemen to satisfy their malice by bringing a criminal prosecution against this Company for each and every policy they have issued in this State. If you gentlmen think this is just, then vote for the amendment; but if you think and I think, and I believe you do--that this would be an act of injustice on the part of the State of Indiana toward this Company--then vote the amendment down.
Mr. WRIGHT--I undertake to say that under the circumstances there is nothing done but what ought to be legalized. The question is, is $100,000 sufficient for a Company of this kind? A Life and Fire Insurance requireds $200,000 capital stock. The simple question for the members to decide is should this Plate Glass Company be required to have as much stock as Life and Fire Insurance Companies? I undertake to say not, because I believe the business of Life and Fire Insurance Companies may have ten times as much capital involved, and ten times as many losses as Plate Glass Companies. One hundred thousand dollars is ample security to every man who insures his plate glass in such a corporation.
Mr. FULLER--From what I understand of this amendment, I am in favor of it. The law knows nothing that excuses violation by a corporation or person on account of ignorance. If I violate a law, I am amenable to the law, whether the law is known to me or not, and a corporation has to abide by the law as an individual party. If there is nothing wrong, there is nothing to harm them. I do not think the Legislature ought to amend a law so as to excuse parties, and especially great corporations, governed by attorneys that are able to tell them what is lawful. We have no right to undo what the Courts have done.
Mr. MEREDITH thought it only a matter of good faith. They come in here and do business, as they thought, in a legitimate way. They have violated the law. It is a question whether we shall keep good faith with these officers and the persons doing business with them.
The amendment was rejected--yeas, 38; nays, 44--and the bill was ordered engrossed.
The Committee reported on the bill [H. R. 291, see page 69 of these Reports] defining the rank, powers and duties of the Adjutant General, fixing his salary, recommending its passage.
The report was concurred; the bill passed--yeas, 56; nays, 26.
Mr. Cotton's bill [H. R. 345] to transfer the Center Township Library to Marion County was read the third time and passed--yeas, 66; nays, 5.
Mr. SHEILDS' bill [H. R. 383] to provide for the removal of drifts from streams other than those running between States was read the third time. He said the bill is one in which my people are very much interesteo. It can be demonstrated by the removal of drifts that we can reclaim at least 100 miles of overflowed land, thereby lessening the amount of disease vastly. I hope the bill will pass.
The bill passed--yeas, 68; nays, 1.
Senator Garrigus' bill [S. 300] to provide for the page: 152[View Page 152] survey and leveling up of wet and swamp lands and contemplated routes and outlay of watercourse of the Kankakee regions, appropriating $5,000 for that purpose, was read the third time.
Mr. GARDNER said this is a very important bill to the State of Indiana. There are nearly a million acres of wet lands that are comparatively worthless, that it is believed may be reclaimed by a simple system of drainage. This act contemplates a survey to ascertain what routes are practicable for the drainage of this land. A certain number of surveys have been made, under the authority of the United States, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the Kankakee is a stream that can be drained so as to render this land useful. It is very well known that some of the richest lands in the State of Indiana are located in this region, which only require a suitable system of drainage to make them among the best paying lands of the State, now wholly unprofitable. This bill is in the interest of economy to the whole State, as it will, if drained, bring in a large increase of revenue. I hope the bill will pass.
Mr. BEATTY said: I am very well acquainted with these lands. A larger portion of the land is owned by citizens of the adjoining Counties and of the State, but a small portion of it is owned by men outside of the State.
Mr. CARR was opposed to the bill upon the ground that it was unfair to tax the people of the State to survey lands owned by private individuals.
Mr. THOMPSON said there was a gigantic scheme gotten up for the purpose of draining this marsh. I understand this is only a modest way by which improvements can be made, and the next Legislature, after this $5,000 is expended, will be called upon to appropriate a much larger amount. It is only a gigantic scheme by which the people are taxed for this improvement which benefits only private individuals, and I think the Legislature ought to vote this measure down.
Mr. WOLF--I can not see why members should object to this bill. I live in a village within four miles of the Kankakee marsh, and I know there is a vast amount of lands there--the best in the State. This bill should become a law, or any other bill that tends to improve this large tract of land, so that it will be cultivated and become useful to the State.
The failed to pass--yeas, 41; nays, 26--for the want of a constitutional majority.
On motion by Mr. FALL, the bill [S. 349] to legalize the incorporation of the town of Lagro was read the second time by title, the third time by sections, and passed--yeas, 57; nays, 16.
The joint resolution [H. R. 9] to amend the Constitution of the State so that State and County officers shall hold for four years was read the third time, and passed--yeas, 57; nays, 16.
The following described bills were introduced, read the first time and referred:
By Mr. CARTER [H. R. 525]: To amend Sections 1 and 7 of an act in relation to the formation of limited partnerships.
By Mr. McDOWELL [H. R. 526]: Requiring County Treasurers to account for interest received or promised to be given, and the disposition to be made of such interest. [Such interest to be paid into the County Treasury as a County fund to be used for the repair and construction of roads, bridges, etc.]
Mr. Kenner's bill [H. R. 232] to establish a Bureau of Statistics for the collection and dissemination of facts concerning agriculture, manufacturing, mining, emigration, transportation, social and sanitary conditions, etc., was read the third time.
Mr. KENNER said--The Bureau of Statistics under this amendment will be of inestimable value to the State of Indiana.
The bill passed--yeas, 66; nays, 14.
Mr. HUSTON's bill[H. R. 420] concerning corporations, was read for the third time.
Mr. FRAZIER said it merely corrects other acts on the subject of corporations for the purpose of getting it all together; the several laws on the subject of corporations is compiled in one. There is no radical change from the law as it now stands.
The bill passed--yeas, 68; nays, 8.
Senator Comstock's bill [S. 276], concerning Criminal Courts, was read the third time.
Mr. MORGAN moved to amend the bill--Section 8--by adding the following: "Provided, however, that the said Criminal Court in Vigo County shall cease to exist after the third Monday in November, 1882."
Mr. MORGAN--The bill before the House was prepared by the Revision Commission, codifying in one law the various statutes creating Criminal Courts in Allen, Marion and Vigo Counties, and repealing the laws at just creating these Courts. The Governor has first approved the House bill 17, creating in Vigo County a Superior Court and abolishing the Criminal Court after the third Monday in November, 1882. If this bill be passed as it is now, being the latest statute, it will in effect repeal the clause in House Bill 17, abolishing the Vigo Criminal Court on and after November, 1882. In other words, it will give us three Court in Vigo County to continue indefinitely, while the law which we have just passed, and has been signed by the Governor, give us three Courts only until November, 1882. Therefore I hope no gentleman will vote against the amendment.
The amendment was adopted, considered as engrossed, and the bill passed--yeas, 69; nays, 2.
Mr. FLOOD'S bill [H. R. 377] regulating the presentation of claims to the General Assembly [to file an itemized statement verified by affidavit with the State Auditor] was read the third time. He said the object of this bill is simply to revise the methods by which these claims which are brought to the attention of the Legislature, may be put in shape, that this body may have the evidence necessary to form correct conclusions in the consideration of such claims.
The bill passed--yeas, 56; nays, 11.
Mr. Carter's bill [H. R 479] for the relief of Lawrence S. Shuler and Thomas R. Jones was read the third time.
Mr. CARTER said some years ago a judgment was rendered in the Clarke Circuit Court, against Shuler and his bondsman, and in the absence of Shuler the other parties agreed to pay $1,500, and the further agreement was made that the remaining bondsmen, who were then still living, would make the amount $300 each. The two bondsmen who were there and made the agreement have paid theirs and the other one is not able to pay it. Mr. Shuler is himself absolutely paralyzed. It is also claimed if Shuler had been there that judgment would not have been rendered against them.
The SPEAKER (Mr. Ridpath)--This is a matter which affects one of my constituents. This bill is to release two gentlemen from the liability of a judgment. As a legal proposition, the credits on the bond have been already released, from the fact that two parties to the judgment have paid their part of the judgment by an agreement with page: 153[View Page 153] the Attorney General, and the other part of the judgment was not a part of the agreement. Old man Jones lives over in my District. He is old and unable to pay the judgment.
The bill passed--yeas, 71; nays, 1.
Mr. Frazer's bill [H. R. 443] to legalize the incorporation of the town of Syracuse, Kosciusko County, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 71; nays, 1.
The bill [S. 374] to legalize the proceedings of the Board of Trustees of the town of Bedford was read the second time by title, the third time by sections and passed--yeas, 76; nays, 0.
Mr. Edwins offered a joint resolution that our Senators and Representatives in Congress be requested to use their influence to secure the passage of a law to prohibit polygamy in any of the States or Territories of the United States, as this body looks upon it, as not only unchristian, but grossly revolting in its tendency.
On motion by Mr. MEREDITH, the resolution was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations.
On motion by Mr. GIBSON, the bill [S. 232] defining the jurisdiction and powers of allowing City Marshals certain fees in addition to their salary, was read the second time, the third time by sections and passed-yeas, 74; nays, 8.
Mr. Gillum's bill [H. R. 382 to regulate the carrying of baggage, packages, freight by railroads, steamboats, canal-boats, Express Companies, hack and stage lines and other common carriers, was read the third time and passed--yeas, 74; nays, 0.
Mr. Gregory's bill [H. R. 387] to create a Board of Visitors for the Benevolent, Penal and Reformatory Institutions, to examine into management, conditions, etc., was read the third time and passed--yeas, 53; nays 35.

The Republican establishment can't stand her. The media mocks her. But Sarah Palin isn't going anywhere.
Far from it.
After laying low for much of this year, Palin is gingerly stepping back into the public arena with a national book tour, a trip to the always-important political state of Iowa, and an eye on making yet another series of splashy endorsements in a variety of competitive Republican primaries.
Five years after rocketing from Alaska obscurity to worldwide fame, Palin wants to be a political player in 2014.
Which raises the question: Does she still matter?
"She is the most important endorsement in Republican politics today, by far," said Sal Russo, a Republican consultant who co-founded the Tea Party Express, a group that has booked Palin to speak at numerous public events dating back to the 2010 midterm cycle. "She can move the needle in a primary more than anyone else can."
Her detractors see things differently.
After flirting with a presidential bid and stirring up a tidal wave of media attention in the run-up to the 2012 Iowa caucuses, with a slew of punchy speeches and a madcap bus tour of historical sites along the East Coast, Palin eventually decided to pass on a shot at the White House.
When her presidential potential evaporated, a number of Republicans said, so did her relevance.
"I don't think that she has the juice that she had four years ago, I really don't," said Katon Dawson, a GOP fundraiser in South Carolina who runs a Super PAC backing Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the Senate's batch of endangered old guard Republicans up for re-election in 2014. "She does have a following and when she speaks, people listen. I just don't know if that voice is as loud or as important as it used to be."
Dawson said he gives Palin "credit for monetizing her run for vice president," a backhanded compliment that appropriately sums up the feelings of eye-rolling GOP professionals everywhere, who wish she would disappear back into the frigid wilderness of the Last Frontier.
Palin's standing as a serious political figure, already tenuous, has seemingly been in decline ever since she decided not to run for president and saw conservatives sidelined as Mitt Romney captured the Republican nomination, only to lose to President Barack Obama.
Pundit or political player?
In reporting her upcoming speech to the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition on November 9, The Des Moines Register this month described her on first reference as "conservative pundit Sarah Palin," rather than the honorifics usually bestowed on her, "former vice presidential candidate" and "former Alaska governor."
Contributions to her political action committee, Sarah PAC, tapered off after she passed on a presidential bid. Earlier this year, she publicly parted ways with Fox News, where she had been employed as a paid analyst since 2010 (she re-joined the network five months later).
Palin hasn't been completely absent from politics in 2013. She issued a range of political pronouncements on her Facebook page, attacking President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, taking particular umbrage at their efforts to scale back gun rights. And in March, she delivered one of the more well-received speeches at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.
But she has devoted much of her energies this year to a Christmas-themed book, "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas," that will release in November and launch her on a multicity book tour through states like Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas and Arizona (the promotional tour also offers her a loophole to appear on other television networks).
It was the 16-day partial government shutdown, a fight sparked by Republican-led efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, that energized Palin once again, those around her say.
She has been impressed, one Palin aide said, by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Utah Sen. Mike Lee, two tea party stalwarts who helped orchestrate the effort to scuttle the Affordable Care Act that led to the shutdown and set off a new round of establishment-versus-grassroots warfare inside the Republican Party.
"There is a need to step up now," said one Palin aide who declined to go on the record like most people around her usually do. "She steps up when she sees there is a need. She sees the fire that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have started."
Palin opened the door last week to helping unseat Graham in South Carolina and a number of other incumbent Republicans, including Sen. Mitch McConnell in Kentucky and Lamar Alexander in Tennessee.
'Going to shake things up'
"We're going to shake things up in 2014," Palin wrote on Facebook, still her preferred public megaphone. "Rest well tonight, for soon we must focus on important House and Senate races. Let's start with Kentucky -- which happens to be awfully close to South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi -- from sea to shining sea we will not give up. We've only just begun to fight."
The post, which was "liked" by more than 31,000 of her followers, was rapidly picked up by a range of conservative websites. Palin's small circle of advisers received an uptick in their usual flood of speaking requests, one adviser said, including from some of the insurgent conservative candidates running for Senate.
One of those who reached out was Chris McDaniel, a state senator from Mississippi gunning to take out six-term Sen. Thad Cochran, a low-key but powerful member of the upper chamber who has served in Washington for more than three decades. McDaniel has already been endorsed by three conservative outfits, the Club For Growth, the Madison Project and the Senate Conservatives Fund, hungry to unseat Cochran.

I prefer my treestands to be about 15' off the ground, but I've also hunted from the ground, 3' off the ground while standing on a stump, and as high as 32' off the ground.
What works best for you and do you really get any more of an advantage for being 20', 25', or 30' off the ground?
PS. I missed one while standing on the stump but got one while just 8' up and at only 7 yards.

Well, that goes without saying ;P
2 cups sesame seeds
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried, shredded coconut
1/2 cup flaxseed meal (ground flax seeds)
1/2 cup tahini (a nut butter)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon sea salt

1. Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir.
2. Add remaining ingredients and stir gently with a spoon.
3. Press mixture FIRMLY down into a large dish. (I use a large brownie pan.)
4. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour.
5. Bars should always be kept in the freezer and eaten when chilled.
Gotta love this no-equipment-required recipe! Just mix in a bowl, press down into a pan and freeze.
Lately I've been eyeing up some gourmet sesame seed bars at the grocery store and wanting a similar chewy texture. Well, I've replicated it myself! Nomnomnom.
There are a number of critical ingredients in this recipe. The sesame seeds are important because they lend that chewy texture, the ground flaxseed (AKA flaxmeal) is important because it holds the bars together, the tahini (or another nut butter) is important because it provides creaminess, and the coconut oil is important because it semi-hardens the bar in the freezer.
But feel free to substitute different dried fruit for the raisins, and instead of coconut you could use hempseed hearts or just substitute even more sesame seeds. As for sweeteners, I've made these with maple syrup, but feel free to substitute with agave nectar or honey.
The only problem with this recipe is that they are so tasty they may spoil your dinner!

Excellent! Best bar I have tried. I used currants instead of raisins, and honey instead of syrup. My husband devoured a few without blinking.
Hi Nadia, not really. The only possible substitute for the tahini would be another nut butter, like almond butter or cashew butter. Ideally very runny. That being said, tahini definitely lends the best flavor.
Do not use sesame seeds instead of tahini because they won't blend up well and the oils won't be released and the recipe will be way too dry and won't stuck together.
Hope this helps!
Hi, I made this recipe, and the taste is really delicious! But it was a bit too dry...I could not make a bar.
I suppose I used the "dry" part of the tahin (because the oil is above)...I used the coconut in a solid state too. Do you know where it went "wrong"?
Yes, I usually stir my tahini before using - also, next time you could melt the coconut oil, that might help. Also, just adding more of both might help too if it becomes a problem.
we just had the sesame seed bars with a lil glop of the whipped crem spread on top n OMG!
Dee Dee, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yum. Never tried that combo before but my brain is telling me GOOOOOOD
I had my doubts about this slice as I am not a fan of tahini, but almond butter wasn't available in my local store so I made it anyway and just love it! Thanks once again, Laura-Jane, for another delish recipe :)
Aaah, even a non-tahini lover likes this one!! I call that a success :) xox
i agree with everyone, these are absolutely delicious. i omitted the coconut and added 1 tsp of cinnamon.
My little boy chose and made these for desert (I helped measure). We couldn't put them down once we tasted them!
So glad you liked, Sherry! Were these the ones you dehydrated?
I whipped up my first batch of these this morning. Delicious! The best part of raw foods is that you can sample the product as you create! Nom nom! Thank you for the recipe. So appreciated! My batch is in the freezer firming up. Question: has anyone tried dehydrating these bars (once firm enough to cut)? I'm going to try it out....and will report back on the results.
This recipe totally begs to be nibbled on while uncooking it. I haven't dehydrated them, but I think they'd be a good contender, although the coconut oil will mean that they won't crisp out completely
Love these! Thinking these would also work well to shape into balls. Going to experiment with that idea and maybe seeing how a bit of raw coco powder will do.
Balls would be great, methinks! Like, sesame seed powerballs, yah? Ooh and adding cacao powder - yes.
Soo good! this is my new Breakfast with a Banana:)
Mmm nice combo! Do you think the bars have too much of a "tahini" taste?
Hmm maybe oh so slightly, and sadly I could not find raw Tahini anywhere either so it probably changed the taste. I might try almond butter next time since I can get that raw. I love this as a breakfast though, nice and quick and filling too.
I want to try it with almond butter too. I am curious to know how much the flavor will change
OMG, these are to die for! You forgot to mention that they are addictive!
Hi Nadia, not really. The only possible substitute for the tahini would be another nut butter, like almond butter or cashew butter. Ideally very runny. That being said, tahini definitely lends the best flavor.
Do not use sesame seeds instead of tahini because they won't blend up well and the oils won't be released and the recipe will be way too dry and won't stuck together.
Hope this helps!
These look soooo good! My hubby and I just recently started to really get into Paleo, and these sound like the perfect snacks for both of us! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks Angela! Glad to have you here. If you try them I'd love to know what you think :)
Excellent! Best bar I have tried. I used currants instead of raisins, and honey instead of syrup. My husband devoured a few without blinking.
Looks delicious Shelly! Love the pic too. Mmm currants. Now that is a dried fruit that I LOVE and that I NEVER use! I am weird. You are inspiring me to keep currants in my regular rotation. Not sure why I don't think of them often!
Glad hubs loved them too! Except, that just means less for you, soo... I am sorry for that lol.
I also use currants in your apple breakfast bowl...and sliced almonds...no grains. It is a house favorite. In fact, I invited a friend over on Sat. and we had an anti-cook event. We made your carrot cake, lemon bars, and brownies. All went in freezer. We make brownies a la Almond Joy with your icing and coconut. I turn people on to your site daily. Thanks for making this lifestyle scrumptious!
Sounds scrumptious, Shelly! Your anti-cooking event sounds fun. My only question - why didn't you invite me over too! :P xox
Easy yum my dad could even make them no need to go buy extra things everything was at home for us To make it with

According to Ana Contreras, code enforcement officer for the city of Tracy, the work to temporarily shore up the Tenth Street wall at the former Helm's Ale House site was completed and passed city inspection on June 27.
The building was deemed unsafe by code enforcement on Oct. 31, 2011, by inspectors who allegedly found that six of the roofing trusses had severe damaged. A week after that inspection, city officials erected a fence around the building saying it presented a danger to the public.
Property owner Denise Hembree was given until July 5 to complete the wall work or risk the city going forward with its plans to legally takeover the property.
Melo Construction recently completed the structural work, and then structural engineer Andre Mozaffari, who was hired by property owner Denise Hembree to certify the job, informed city officials that everything was up to code.
"(Mozaffari) also stipulated a 60-day time period to continue to keep the momentum on getting the rest of the repairs completed," Contreras said. "On July 2 we received a letter from Hembree's attorney acknowledging certain engineering conditions will be met."
Mozaffari told city officials that he assured the wall work would remain stable for 60 days and Hembree had agreed to have the remaining structural work completed within that time, Contreras said.
The city has since issued a demolition permit to Melo Construction for the removal of the exterior overhang, interior ceilings and repair of the building's roofing system.
Contreras said that, according to Hembree, engineering work should be completed and submitted for a plan check review within the 60 day time frame.
"She's working faster than required because the building has been deemed safe," Contreras said, referring to Hembree.
Hembree was unavailable for comment on Tuesday night.

No, and they never said they were going to say anything about it. That's just something samjjones invented out of whole cloth in last week's prediction thread.
God how people have run with it, though.
That's what it started with (oddly, last week's prediction thread is still open, allowing me to quote the post directly). Never once did a HMX person say anything remotely like this.

Take a Tour: the South Bronx's Grand Concourse
Tours & Attractions
by nycgo.com staff, 04/03/2013

- recently/
Grand Concourse—a majestic Bronx thoroughfare designed by Louis Aloys Risse in 1890 and opened in 1909—is a worthy attraction for architecture, history and culture buffs.
Those who take the B or D train to 167th Street—or the B, D or 4 train to 161st St./Yankee Stadium—will find a wide boulevard that was intended to be New York's answer to Paris' Champs-Élysées, and which today is lined with the nation's largest collection of Art Deco and Art Moderne apartment buildings—not to mention a considerable number of Tudor-, Colonial- and Renaissance-Revival structures. In 2011, the Landmarks Preservation Commission granted the Concourse between 153rd and 167th Streets designation as a historic district.
After admiring the motorway itself and the architecture lining it, take the time to visit the places listed below.
Even in the off-season, fans can visit Yankee Stadium—located just a few avenues from Grand Concourse—for a guided tour. The jaunt includes stops at Thurman Munson's old locker, in the on-site New York Yankees Museum, and the legendary Monument Park, where rooters can pay tribute to Yankee greats like Yogi Berra, Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth (who lived on Grand Concourse many years ago). Speaking of Yankees history, Heritage Field—located on the site of the original "House That Ruth Built," adjacent to the new park—gives young baseball players a chance to play ball on the same grounds where such legends as Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle once competed.
You can also hang out at NYY Steak—an eatery built right into the upscale ballpark (the successor to the original House That Ruth Built, which was across the street)—and grab a drink at the nearby Stan's Sports Bar or Yankee Tavern, which is not officially affiliated with the team.
To purchase tickets to Yankees games, visit ticketmaster.com.
Of course, the Bronx's legacy stretches far beyond the stadium's outfield walls. The Bronx Central Post Office (located at 558 Grand Concourse), which opened in 1937, is notable for the 13 large murals on its walls. The pieces, inspired by Walt Whitman's poem "I See America Working," depict everyday people doing the jobs that keep the City and country running. They were finished in 1939 by painter Ben Shahn and his wife, Bernarda.
The Bronx Walk of Fame, which begins at 161st Street and moves south, pays tribute to some of the many notable personalities with roots in the borough, a diverse group that includes Colin Powell, Fat Joe, Mary Higgins Clark and Doris Roberts. The stars are honored with plaques bearing their names on light posts.
The Bronx Museum of the Arts showcases art that shares its namesake borough's diversity. Admission is always free.
To see even more of the borough's creative offerings, hop aboard the free Bronx Culture Trolley, which departs from Hostos Community College's Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos on the first Wednesday of each month (except in January and September). The vehicle makes stops in the South Bronx Cultural Corridor, where you'll find theaters, galleries, museums and other art-related venues.
Another South Bronx Cultural Corridor establishment, BronxArtSpace—an institution managed and run by a collaboration of artists, curators and filmmakers—hosts a wide variety of programs including visual-art exhibitions, experimental-film screenings and dance, music and theater performances. Participating artists come from all around the globe, but include a sizable local contingent.
Still more performing arts are on offer at Pregones Theater—which presents an ever-changing lineup of original musical and theatrical productions with a focus on Puerto Rican and Latino artists and themes.
On the John Cardinal O'Connor campus of The College of New Rochelle, the Gordon A. Parks Gallery & Cultural Arts Center hosts more than its fair share of art exhibitions, poetry readings, musical performances and other cultural events.
The Bronx Documentary Center screens films, exhibits photographs and even offers educational programs as part of its ongoing mission to support journalists, teachers, filmmakers and others who have an important role in the local, national and global dialogue.
The Grand Concourse area features abundant dining options as well. Court Deli, which dispenses reliable standbys like pastrami and corned beef, is popular with fans looking to grab a bite before Yankees games. The nearby Feeding Tree presents Jamaican cuisine including jerk chicken, oxtail and stewed beef. The focus at Molino Rojo, meanwhile, is on Puerto Rican– and Dominican-style food. Offerings include plantains, fried pork chunks and rice and beans. The Clock Cafe and Martini Bar serves New American fare along with its wine and cocktails, and stays open late. And at G•Bar, patrons can savor Italian flavors in a trendy lounge setting that many nights includes live bands or a DJ. If you're looking to do some shopping in addition to grabbing a bite to eat, you may be interested in checking out Bronx Terminal Market, a mall that features a number of national retailers. During the summer, be on the lookout for Rooftop Films screenings at the venue.

If you like Sriracha Rooster Sauce, you'll love these spicy deviled eggs! |
For 12 deviled egg halves, I always use 7 eggs, because you know at least one egg will get mangled even if you follow the directions for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs!
You can see that I'm not that great at piping, so I usually take a knife and smooth out the yolk filling.
Sriracha Deviled Eggs
(Makes 12 deviled egg halves, recipe created by Kalyn)
7 eggs (preferably a week or two old)
2 T mayo or light mayo
1 T + 1 tsp. fat-free Greek Yogurt
1 1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1-2 tsp. Sriracha sauce (I used 1 1/2 tsp. for eggs that were just slightly spicy)
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 green onions, green part only, thinly sliced on the diagonal

0 Bugatti's For Sale
About Bugatti
When you come from a long line of artists you can't help but design an attractive vehicle. This was the case with Ettore Bugatti in 1909. Combining an attractive exterior with a high performance engine was the key to Bugatti's success.
Unfortunately only Bugatti 8,000 vehicles were made. Tragedy struck, and with the death of Ettore Bugatti in 1947 the company began a downhill spiral.
Racing success was achieved with the Bugatti Type 35. It won over 1,000 races including the Grand Prix World Championship as well as the Targa Florio created by Bugatti himself. It achieved first place in the Targa Florio from 1925 until 1929. While the Type 35 was the original, other versions were produced including the Type 35A, also known as Tecla, which was less expensive than the original.
The Bugatti Type 35C was next, but it was the Type 35T that led to all of the wins at the Targa Florio. The Type 35B was the final model in the line. Type 37 and the supercharged Type 37A were sports cars that kept with the traditions of the Type 35 including the overall body style. After making a change to the engine, the Type 39 was created.
A luxury line was created with the Bugatti Royale, also known as Type 41. While Bugatti had high hopes for this vehicle, only six were made. It is one of the most rare cars in the world. At the time, only three of the six made were sold. From 1932 to 1935 the Bugatti Type 55 vehicle was made. Much like other lines from Bugatti, only 38 were made.
Jean Bugatti (Ettore's son) became more involved in the design of the Bugatti Type 57. From 1934 to 1940, 710 were made. It was originally created to be a touring car even though it was able to reach a top speed of 95 mph. The Type 57T was created more for performance and the Type 57C was a true racing vehicle. The Type 57S was lowered and included a nearly independent suspension. To this day it is one of the most recognized Bugatti vehicles with just 43 being built.
After the loss of his son Jean to an accident while testing a new racecar, things took a turn for the worst. Like other car manufacturers, World War II had financial repercussions. To the end, Ettore Bugatti continued to press on, but his death in 1947 ended all chances that the company could continue. Volkswagen currently owns the right to produce vehicles with the Bugatti name.

Crocband Wedge is great!
These are great and comfortable, fit is perfect. At first the band is a little tight across the toes, but once you wear them for a day it stretches out and the fit is great. easy to slip into after a hard day at work on my feet all day. very comfortable and love the nubs massaging my feet. I got them in black and just love the white stripe in them, makes them a little dressy. I only Wish Croc's made these in other colors.
Not sorry
I'm not sorry I bought these with the heel ! I spent 2 days in Las Vegas NV and not once did I complain about sore feet. I walked a lot, my heels never hurt at all. And this was my first time wearing them !! I have about 6 pairs of Crocs and didn't know which ones to bring. I sure made the right choice.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, love, love, love them! I have a lot of problems with my feet because of high arches and my feet are also wide, which makes it hard to find fit and comfort. It's very hard to find a pair of shoes that will allow me to be on my feet all day and suffer with pain in my feet and legs for days later. I have worn the Crocband Wedge on vacation, to work, and shopping all day. I definitely recommend them!
I love love love these shoes. Every step I take it feels like the shoe is absorbing the shock of my foot landing allowing my foot to land in pure supported comfort. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, even better than slippers!

Scary: The terrifying new banking acronym
29 Jan 2013Analysts love acronyms. Jim O'Neil's Bric has stood the test of time, and the grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, and China has been seared into financial lexicon. Today, Berenberg has coined the term "Scary", which focuses on a bank's solvency, complexity, adaptability, risks and belief in structural change. Should we be afraid?
Despite the rather dubious acronym (the "Y" in scary stands for "Yes we do believe in structural change"), it is not a bad idea.
Berenberg's analysts break each European bank down according to the five key factors that make up the Scary framework, with each bank scoring up to four marks for each factor.
For example, Barclays gets three marks for the capital solvency test, which measures factors such as Tier 1 capital and changes in risk weighted assets, but scores no marks for believing the banking industry is undergoing a cyclical, rather than structural change.
In comparison UBS, which recently began a wholesale reduction of its investment banking capabilities, passes the structural test with flying colours.
Berenberg's banking analyst team, led by Nick Anderson, is particularly bearish on the European banking sector – today's note was titled 'European banks: Mad, bad and dangerous to know'.
Speaking to Financial News, Anderson said: "Banks have very long tail risks due to the assets they hold, so it is very important not just to think about the next quarter or the next year's earnings. You need to look down the road, be it at trading risks or credit risks."
And Anderson, formerly an airline analyst, knows all about firms in decline. Over a decade ago, he applied the same framework, albeit without a catchy title, to the airline industry.
It worked. The airlines with the three highest scores (Lufthansa, Air France and BA) survived and low scorers Alitalia, Iberia and KLM were taken over.
According to today's research note: "That it worked for airlines does not imply it will work for banks of course. However, what the analysis does show is that during periods of major upheaval in an industry, not all incumbents will survive. Identifying long-term winners and losers is therefore a critical task for all investors in banks to undertake."
So who is predicted to survive? Handelsbanken, HSBC, ING, KBC, Swedbank and UBS are all earmarked for long term survival. And if you are a Spanish, Italian or French bank, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Wear a festive hairstyle to enhance an elegant holiday party outfit
By Leah Fletcher
Festive holiday parties are the perfect time to wear gorgeous party dresses, metallic accessories and stunning shoes. This is also the time to create a glamorous hairstyle that will enhance the beauty of an elegant outfit. The key to a dazzling holiday look is to choose a hairstyle that works with your hair type.
And, for every hair type, there are styles that will, quite simply take people's breath away. Just open your eyes to the possibilities and the potential of your hair, whatever your type.
Any stylist will tell you that when women dress up for special occasions, they like to spruce up their hairdos as well as their attire. The finishing touch to the perfect party dress or outfit is the right hairstyle. Stylists also believe knowing how to create a festive hairstyle may ensure that you are the "belle of the ball" no matter what the occasion.
Following are an array of hair styles that stylist that may appear at any holiday gathering.
Romantic Curls
Large voluminous curls create a softly, styled look that goes perfectly with any party dress. To wear this look, simply curl your hair with a large barrel curling iron or large curlers. Finger comb your hair to the side and spray with a light finishing spray.
Sleek and Sophisticated
For a sleek and sophisticated look, try a bun. The tight upswept style shows off high colors. Not only is the bun gorgeous, it is simple to pull off. Pull you hair back into a ponytail and pull through a holder. Roll under and pin with bobby pins.
Flirty and Form
A twist on high ponytail keeps it simple—a slick and simple look that is red carpet ready. Pull you hair up into a high ponytail. Twist the ponytail around the ponytail holder until you get to the end of the hair. Tuck the ends into the "bun" and pin into place.
Twisted Bangs
For a simple elegant look, try a style parted on the side with bangs twisted back. This style looks good with a strapless gown or a cocktail dress. Curl your hair, part it on the side and twist back the bang. Twist in place with a decorative clip that compliments your dress.
French Twist
Show off any gown with a loose French Twist. You can wear full bangs play down to the brow or pull them off of the forehead. It is a pretty basic style but the allure is undeniable. To get the look, sweep up your hair back into a handheld ponytail, twist the ponytail until you create a twist. Pin it in place and fluff up your bang.
Appear perfectly coiffed and put together with your curls pinned up in an elaborate updo. The curls create an interesting rolled pattern on the back of the head. For this look, curl all your hair with a small curling iron in small sections. Pull the curls up and pin them in place with bobby pins and finish off with hairspray.
Classic Pin Curls
Inspired by old Hollywood to bring youth and vibrancy to hair. Softly swept back into a low bun and pin curled on the side, this hairstyle takes longer to create but the payoff is worth it.
Braids and Adornments
French braids woven through the hair allows for a great deal of versatility when creating a festive hairstyle. You can choose one braid or several and no matter what the occasion. You may weave any number of accessories through the braids to enhance the style and create a more festive appearance. For Christmas or holiday parties, weave colorful curled gift ribbon throughout your braids.
Scarves and Bandanas
When you want to keep your hair away from your face but still want to let it fall free, scarves, bandanas and headbands can help and add a bit of holiday flair.
Whether you are going to an office party or just catching up with old friends, you will want to look your best at the holidays. It's not necessary to make a trip to the salon for professional styling. Work to style your hair differently than your everyday look and to make yourself look instantly fresh and ready for a party.

For a time, finding useful hair styling and grooming tips for Black men proved to be difficult. But increasingly, ethnic-oriented hairstylists and male fashion gurus are expanding the options and exploring variations on hairstyles for black men that work with their natural texture.
A facial is considered one of the best ways to care for your skin, especially when it is given by an experienced and knowledgeable esthetician. While most women hear the term "facial" bandied about and they have often thought about getting a professional facial, many don't know where to begin. So...
You are looking in the mirror and examining the face that is staring back at you. Upon further examination, you begin communicating with the visage about the desire for a new look. You ask the question: Is the answer new makeup, a new hairstyle, or a new hair color?
Nail art design exceeds the conventional manicure and gives you an opportunity to express your own creative style. Nail art, like makeup, is an easy and inexpensive way to modify your appearance when you want to match an outfit or alter your mood. Nail art services are offered in most salons.
A Hollywood entertainment blog recently featured a photo montage of high profiled actresses and models captured on what appeared to be their "bad hair days". An international model, who shall remain nameless, but noted for sporting long flowing weaves, happen to wear her hair in a sweeping updo.
The age-old debate still rages on among African American women regarding choices surrounding natural or relaxed hairstyles. There are those who prefer natural hair ranging from curly to kinky or somewhere in between. And, there are those who go to great expense to straighten their hair.
There are a variety of innovative methods African American women use extensions to twist their hair. The most common are Kinky Twists, Senegalese Twists and Havana twists. However, it's the Havana Twists hairstyle that is gaining in popularity.
As the fall season approaches, many will consider selecting a new hair routine for the cooler season. During the summer months, many African American women considered options that included curly hairstyles, loose waves and natural styles.
