If you don't like what's out there, make something better. That's the philosophy of Somme Institute. The founders were disappointed that most of the skin care products they tested didn't deliver on their promises - so they assembled a team of researchers, dermatologists and skin care specialists to "crack the code" and find out what ingredients really would deliver smoother, clearer and more youthful skin. After more than seven years of testing on real people, this team of masterminds developed technology called MDT5 that speeds delivery of skin-nourishing vitamins and protein into the deeper layers of the skin – and Somme Institute was born. Since skin-reparative vitamins and other ingredients can't work their magic unless they can penetrate, Somme Institute's products really do "deliver."

'Star Trek' Phaser auctioned for $231,000
Capt. Kirk toted the one-of-a-kind rifle
Capt. James T. Kirk always cut a formidable figure as commander of the starship USS Enterprise. It helped, too, to have some powerful toys -- like a one-of-a-kind Phaser rifle.
Somebody inherited some of Kirk's mojo, after paying $231,000 for the rifle that actor William Shatner once toted around while filming the "Star Trek" series in the 1960s, Julien's Auctions said Saturday.
The winning bid came in well over the auction house's $50,000 to $70,000 estimate.
According to Julien's, inventor Reuben Klamer created the weapon after NBC asked that the "Star Trek" pilot be "retooled for a more action-packed adventure."
"Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry "asked for a really big gun," the auction house said.
Shatner only used the Phaser rifle in the second pilot. Klamer then got it back (though it was used in some publicity photos) while Shatner, as Kirk, got a more familiar pistol used for the rest of the next three seasons.
The "Star Trek" showpiece was one of many pieces of Hollywood history that were part of the Julien's auction.
Other big-ticket items that were sold include a Munchkins flower plot from "The Wizard of Oz" that went for $15,000, a flying suit worn by Christopher Reeve in "Superman IV" that fetched $25,000, and a nightshirt that belonged to Marilyn Monroe that sold for $15,000.

When I came down for snacks, she gave me my popcorn for free..."For the inconvenience of moving." I do feel that $12 […] +tip for breakfast is a bit steep, so I did not have breakfast.

The room was clean and modern. The shower was awesome. The room was quiet never hearing anything from the hallway. We attempted to use the pool but it was cold. […] Spent time in the hot tub.

"Nice hotel, very rude manager at desk."
We tried checking in at 5:00pm ( 2 hours after the stated 3:00 checkin time). We were told our room was not ready and it would be 20 minutes. 35 minutes later after watching multiple people check in I asked about our room. They called house keeping and it was ready. I don't know how long we would have waited if we had not asked, they never bothered […] to check after telling us 20 minutes. I asked to speak with the manager and was told by the employee at the reception desk that she was the manager. She didn't care that we had waited and she hadn't checked on our room status stating that she was busy and didn't have time. She did not apologize for the wait or for not checking and making sure we got into our room. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling
"Poor front desk service"
On a Saturday at 5:00 PM our party that had booked 3 rooms ended up arriving after a long day of traveling and expecting to get checked into our room, however some rooms were not cleaned as we found. We were told it would be just a few minutes. The front desk staff assigned rooms to at least a dozen patrons coming to check in after us, but ignored the […] fact that 2 of our 3 parties waited for over 40 minutes just to get a status of our room. We had to go back and wait in line just to check on the room status after 40 minutes had passed. When the manager checked with housekeeping the rooms were done being cleaned. After 40 minutes of waiting and finally getting to go to our rooms, we found one of the rooms was still getting cleaned. The front desk manager we dealt with not friendly and seemed to be very overwhelmed with the sudden surge of patrons and unhappy that after 5:30 PM we were upset that our room wasn't cleaned and others were getting checked into a room right away. A couple of patrons ahead of us also waited over 30 minutes and had to check on their room status as well. Poor service and rude treatment. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Upon check-in the room keys would not open the room door. Went back down to the lobby where the lady at the desk was super apologetic and switched me to another room.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. TV issues late in the evening and they sent a tech up to check it out. Excellent service! Good location, easy access to highways and food/shopping. Cons: room smelled like perspiration (I didn't open the window or complain, so they had no chance to address this). Handles on bathroom sink and shower were both loose. […] Weird room layout - bathroom door opens outward, so when open it completely blocks exit from the room. Could be a safety issue if emergency exit is required.

"Met and Exceeded Expectations. Thanks!"
Hotel is somewhat not on the beaten path but very accessable to the town and easy to get to. There is no fast food, restaurants or shops next door. So you will have to drive to get to those, but that wasn't a problem, like I said earlier very accessable and easy to get to those areas from the hotel's location. There is a restaurant on premise but we […] did not visit it. Would assume from its location and set up that it does a lot of business travelers on the week days. Which I would say it is best suited for. The place is clean and well maintained. The bed was surprisingly comfortable since I have back and hip problems. I first thought it would be to firm but there is a layer of soft on top of the firm which was perfect. I actually was in no pain when I awoke. I would definitely recommend.

"Not bad. Not great. Would recommend."
This hotel seems great for business travelers. My visit was as a family of 4. Pros: A couple of minutes from a highway and about 7 minutes from a street that has many different types of restaurants on it. 10 minutes from the LegoLand Discovery Center. The staff was friendly. Nice fitness & pool area. Cons: There are a few exits but guests can only […] enter through the lobby. WiFi was only available in the lobby during the first couple of days. Then it got turned on so we could access it in our room. There was what looked like a poop stain on a sheet on one of the beds (I wasn't going to smell it to confirm). Housekeeping did give us a fresh set of sheets. Found a bed bug on the window curtain. I squished it and looked around to see if I could find others. Didn't see anymore (probably wont have left). Bed was not the most comfortable but I've slept on worst. Breakfast wasn't free. Seemed like the TV only had about 10 channels. I would recommend this hotel to others if they would like to stay in this area. . I'll stay closer to downtown the next time I stay in Chicago. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Thr bathtub was not cleaned, which was very disappointing because I specifically searched for the whirlpool tub feature when booking a room. It had a ring of soap scum a nd dirt, and hair!

"Stayed for wedding"
A large number of guests from a wedding stayed at this hotel because the reception site was right down the road. The hotel staff was extremely patient with us and ran a shuttle to and from the reception so none of us had to drive. They joked around and had fun with all of us and even found some of our belongings in the shuttle from the end of the night […] and ensured they were returned to us! The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the staff truly set the experience over the top! Definitely recommend this hotel! Meer infoGeverifieerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

"Great Hotel Outside Chicago"
The hotel staff were very friendly. They offered cookies at night for the guests. We accidentally locked our room keys inside the room, and the front desk lady did not give us any grief about making another key for us. The only thing that did not work was the comfort setting on the bed, but we still were able to get a good night sleep. They also had […] a pantry were you can buy snacks and drinks and they will charge it to your room (the prices were reasonable). Great place to stay and would definitely stay there again.

"A brand on the rise"
I think this is a good brand on the rise. I stayed at two Hilton Garden Inns, and the service quality, decoration, and locations are on par with each other. I think they did a very good job on creating the same experience for travelers. Very friendly for business travelers. Easy to locate, always near to a freeway/highway exit. My only complaint is […] that their front desk employees do not provide consistent quality of service. One can be impressively helpful and friendly, another can be cool and "just-doing-my-time". Overall, it's a good chain. Thumbs up. Meer infoGeverifieerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

My cousin had a wedding reception at the Medinah's Shriner ballroom (gorgeous!) which shares a parking lot with this hotel. We were able to get a shuttle bus from the hotel to the ballroom, which was very convenient for the elderly members of our group. The hotel was very obliging to allowing groups of us to gather in the lobby before and after the […] wedding ceremony. They helped us get connecting rooms at very short notice.

Faculty Excellence at UMUC
Faculty Interview
Molly Affleck
Hear the audio clip on effective techniques for teaching German both face-to-face and online. (2:46)
Interviewer: | Please tell us about yourself—what made you decide to teach at UMUC? What kind of work do you do when you are not teaching at UMUC? Are there any life experiences that have influenced your teaching at UMUC? If so, please share one story. |
Molly Affleck | I was always interested – even in high school - in languages, German in particular. That was one of the reasons that, after studying for two years at Whitman College, I went overseas to study abroad for my junior year in Munich, Germany. During that time I decided to continue my university studies in Germany and to major in German literature at the Ludwig Maximillians University in Munich. As a student in Munich in the 1970s, I heard about the University of Maryland in Europe. Its Munich Campus was situated in the southern part of the city from 1950 to 1992. After graduating from the Ludwig Maximillians University in Munich, I applied for a teaching position at the University of Maryland and over 31 years ago started teaching my first class in Hanau, Germany in Pioneer Kaserne. I remember the class vividly, mainly because it was very rewarding. It is still a great experience to teach German in Germany, since students realize that this is an extraordinary opportunity to learn German while living in Germany. The absolutely best language lab right outside the door is the German-speaking world. In addition, UMUC-Europe is the only institution that has years of experience developing the German language program tailored to Americans living and stationed in Europe, and it is important to keep this tradition alive. |
Interviewer: | How would you describe your teaching style or philosophy? What experiences or person(s) have influenced your style or philosophy? |
Molly Affleck | My teaching style reflects my teaching philosophy. Learning a foreign language is a skill. In addition to requiring this skill, students have to be able to understand that they augment and improve their insight into something as complex as a foreign language. I enjoy teaching and I think that my students can sense this. |
Interviewer: | What do you think it is about your teaching style that appeals to students? |
Molly Affleck | Teaching a foreign language can be a truly rewarding experience. I try to motivate and encourage all students to reach their goals in learning a new language. In a short amount of time I can see remarkable strides not only in the students' competence but, even more importantly, in the students' awareness of language and culture. In my onsite courses, I set up frequent paired-activities to enhance the class, and this gives students more practice in the classroom. Student-to-student interaction is vital for a successful foreign language course. In my distance education German courses, I set up weekly discussion groups with well-defined modus operandi which fosters lively interaction in class. |
Interviewer: | Do you teach face-to-face, online, or both? Do you have a preference between teaching face-to-face and online? If so, please explain. |
Molly Affleck | I teach both face-to-face and online. I prefer teaching face-to-face. I really enjoy seeing the excitement and the learning in the classroom. At the same time, I am absolutely amazed at what can be done in a distance education language course. Students tend to be focused and can check their work carefully before submitting it. They are also able to concentrate on their pronunciation by practicing with audio software. |
Interviewer: | Please tell us about your chosen discipline-i.e., what made you interested in the area initially? What do you do to stay current in your discipline? What do you like best about teaching in your discipline? |
Molly Affleck | When I first started learning German in high school, I found language learning fascinating. In addition, it made me more aware of my own language. It was very interesting for me to read German literature in the original language. That was the initial reason for me to study German language and literature at the University of Munich, Germany. I am a member of the AATG (Association of American Teachers of German) European Chapter and attend the annual meetings regularly. An article of mine was published in Teaching Ideas Volume 7: Affleck, M. (2009). Teaching German Sayings. In R. Morewedge (Ed.), Teaching Ideas: A Collection of Successful Classroom Strategies, Volume VII (p. 1). 1. Cherry Hill, N.J. What I enjoy most about teaching is watching and furthering students' progress during the course. It is amazing to see how much and how fast students can learn and progress from day one. |
Interviewer: | What is the most challenging to you in teaching in this area? What teaching strategy do you use when you encounter the challenge? Are there any special challenges in teaching this subject matter online? If yes, please explain what could be done to meet the challenges. |
Molly Affleck | The most challenging aspect in teaching a foreign language is keeping everyone on track. As I mentioned previously, learning a foreign language is a skill and people develop and fine-tune this skill at different paces. It is a challenge to find the perfect pace that fits all students in a particular group. For instance, on a rare occasion a student might say that he would like to just sit in the back of the room and learn the language by just listening (and not participating). In a case like this, I discuss with the student how important it is to speak and interact with the other students and with me in class. I explain that it is quite simple: you learn by doing, and "doing" means communicating in the language, and it is impossible to communicate by sitting silently in the back of the room. After placing the student in a small group of two or three students for a group activity, the student finds himself in a stress-free environment (this is important), and before long the student is actively participating in class. One challenge is to keep all students motivated. I find that it is very important in distance education courses to post weekly checklists of the assignments at the beginning of the week and to require that students start the discussions early. A structured class with checklists, due dates, and clear instructions help students know exactly what they need to do. This helps distance education students stay focused and on task. Occasionally a distance education student does not realize that it is important to log in and participate in class frequently. With clear guidelines, checklists, and graded work in his portfolio, a student can easily keep track of what he has accomplished and what he still needs to do. |
Interviewer: | What suggestion would you give to students who are interested in majoring or working in your discipline? |
Molly Affleck | I recommend to my students learning German that they read German newspapers and magazines and, of course, get out into the community and speak German. Students here in Germany have the opportunity to experience the language and culture first hand. Many of my students go out on the weekends to festivals, concerts or other cultural events in nearby cities and towns and have the chance to speak and practice what they have learned in the classroom. Even my beginning students are proficient enough to read German websites and understand information about the local cultural events. |
Interviewer: | In your opinion, what makes UMUC the college of choice for students? |
Molly Affleck | In Europe, students have the opportunity to learn foreign languages in the countries in which they are living and/or stationed. In my discipline, UMUC-Europe is situated in the best language lab— right outside the door is the German-speaking world. This provides a great opportunity for students to learn the language while living overseas. Many students become proficient and earn the UMUC German Area Studies Certificate and then continue their studies and attain the Associate of Arts degree in German Area Studies. Some students receive the Bachelor of Science/ German Area Studies degree within the General Studies Major. |
Interviewer: | In your opinion, what makes UMUC the employer of choice for future faculty members? |
Molly Affleck | UMUC is situated around the world, and this is a great opportunity to see people and countries in a different perspective; there is a profound difference between 'visiting a country' and 'living and working in a country.' |
Interviewer: | What suggestion would you give to new faculty who are interested in teaching in your discipline at UMUC? |
Molly Affleck | A concrete suggestion to new faculty would be to attend the AATG (Association of American Teachers of German) European Chapter annual meetings. It is an opportunity to stay current in the discipline, discuss ways to improve teaching skills and ways to make the learning experience positive and rewarding for our students. It is quite important for new faculty to realize from the very beginning that they will be dealing with adults, who have developed a sizeable vocabulary and ways to express themselves in their native language. Students have, thus, an inherent internal need to express themselves in German in a similar complex and correct way. This internal need has to be channeled into a feeling of success and accomplishment when mastering realistic situations with limited but expanding vocabulary and language skills. |

If the Mets trade Reyes, they are also trading the spark to their offense. He's one of those players that, when healthy, is nearly impossible to replace.

it's not a matter of whether or not teh mets want hi,. because i'm sure they do. but the wilpons may be on the hook for somethign like a billion dollars.
bman is a silly goose.
yeah i dont think the mets are quite that bad either but they will finish a distant 4th or 5th(not outta the question). they need johan back asap.
rickie weeks got paid! signed an extension for 4 years, $38.5 milli! an option for a 5th year could bump it to $50 million.
fave youtube channel of the week: http://www.youtube.com/user/animegirl199511?feature=watch
The Mets rotation is in shambles. Santana can only do so much this year coming off an injury, Pelf and Dickey would both have to have another good season and Neise would have to stay healthy to stay in the rotation, plus the few new guys they got which I'm not really sure how'd they fit in yet like Buchholtz, Capuano, and Young who is always hurt.
The bullpen, I don't even know where to start. I guess they'll throw Ollie back in the pen as a lefty and Mejia as the setup man, K-Rod as the closer. Mejia could even be a starter if they need one, but he's got to work on his control. The rest of the BP I guess would just fall into place.
Their lineup looks decent on paper with Reyes back at the top coming back from an injury season along with Murphy who the Mets really missed last year. Don't know where he'll play now with Ike Davis playing first mostly last year, maybe they'll platoon them even though they are both lefties. Bay, Beltran, and Wright would anchor the meat of the lineup, Bay must have a good year this year, he was a huge disappointment last year. The rest would be Castillo, Pagan/Hairston, and the new catcher Paulino. I mean, their offense should be alright as long as everyone stays healthy which is a long shot. Their pitching is what worries me the most.
Guitar Covers Channel: www.youtube.com/user/MysticGuitar77
PSN: mega-tallica
I wouldn't exactly call the rotation "in shambles" - Pelfrey, Niese (when healthy), and Dickey all had good seasons last year and I have no reason to doubt they can't repeat their successes, and once Santana comes back, you know he will pitch well, it's just a matter of whether he'll get any run support. While I agree that Capuano, Buchholz, and Young are question marks, they're all fairly low risk ventures for the Mets. If they all are awful, they're gone after this year. To be honest, I think the biggest problem is the bullpen for this team, and that was a problem for the Mets even in '06. We lost all of the guys that were fairly reliable in Feliciano, Takahashi, and Nieve (at least until he was overused). Maybe hold what amounts to basically year-long tryouts for a lot of the young guys in the bullpen and see if some of them have it for the long haul.
As for the offense, I want to see:
C - Thole
1B - Davis
2B - Murphy (why not? it wouldn't be the first time he's shifted positions, and he was playing it during rehab last year)
3B - Wright
SS - Reyes
LF - Bay
CF - Beltran/Pagan (whoever fields better in Spring Training)
RF - Beltran/Pagan (whoever fields worse)

well yeah, I added some hyperbole in my post, but on a more serious note, from everything Ive read and/or heard (especially from Mets fans), the whole lawsuit is a HUGE distraction and, given their offseason (or lack thereof), there is nothing but pessimism for this team.

This diet is also considered a low glycemic therapy and results in steady glucose levels. | An individualized and structured diet containing Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) which are highly ketogenic. This allows more carbohydrate and protein than the classic ketogenic diet. A 2008 study showed that both diets are equal in eliminating seizures. A source of essential fatty acids must be included with this diet. | This is individualized but less structured diet than the ketogenic diet. It uses exchange lists for planning meal and emphasizes complex carbohydrates. The balance of low glycemic carbohydrates in combination with fat result in steady glucose levels. It is Not intended to promote ketosis. | This diet focuses on limiting the amount of carbohydrate while encouraging fat. Carbohydrate may be consumed at any time during the day as long as it is within limits and should be consumed with fat. Suggested meal plans are used as a guide. Protein is Not limited but too much is discouraged. |

With a show shooting in New York and his career revived, Danny Bonaduce and his wife look for a home with major wow factor in a hip Big Apple neighborhood. They check out a West Village funhouse with a fountain, see-through bathtub, and recycled subway doors. Will this turn out to be the Bonaduces' dream house--or is the asking price too high?
Verne may be Mini-Me in the movies, but in real life he's hunting for a Michigan lake house with multiple guest rooms and ample single-floor living space so he and his family can enjoy maximum comfort and beauty. He checks out a four-bedroom lakeside lodge on Lake Paw Paw; a mansion overlooking Lake Michigan; and a traditionally styled yet contemporary and eco-friendly "green getaway." With each boasting gorgeous views and lots of livability, Verne may need the ingenious help of Dr. Evil to pick the right one.

THURSDAY, March 24, 1881--9 a. m.THE CIVIL CODE.
Mr. STEWART offered a resolution that when the bill [S. 271] concerning civil proceedings is reached, all the amendments to the same shall be presented, read and referred to a Special Committee of Five to consider and arrange in topical and logical order, and when examined the bill shall be put upon its passage. He said: It is well known that we have on the files a large number of bills. We want to pass this civil code bill. This resolution will require members to offer their amendments that they may be referred to the Committee, who will arrange the bill in a proper manner before it passes the House. I make this motion simply to facilitate business.
The resolution was adopted.
The SPEAKER made the Committee to consist of Messrs, Stewart, Ryan, Cauthorne, Neff and Carter.
Subsequently, in pursuance of this order, amendments to the bill [H. R. 271] concerning civil proceedings were offered and referred to this Committee of Five.
Subsequently Mr, BUSKIRK moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill [S. 271] concerning civil proceedings, was referred to a Committee. He said: The House ought to have the control of the bill, and treat it as they think proper. I am not willing, however able the gentlemen may be, to say that five men shall constitute the Legislature of the State of Indiana upon this the most important measure yet before the House--one that affects our personal and property rights. I would a great deal rather take it from the Special Committee and give it to the Revision Committee, as it is composed of three men who have given the subject their special attention.
The motion to reconsider was agreed to, and the motion to refer rejected.
On motion by Mr. RYAN, it was ordered that when the bill is read the third time it be subject to amendments by sections as the bill is read.
On motion by Mr. BUSKIRK, it was ordered that the bill [S. 271] concerning civil proceedings be made a special order every afternoon until completed, commencing this afternoon.
Mr. HUSTON moved to amend the bill [H. R. 415] authorizing the payment of the temporary loan debt of the State by striking out all after the enacting clause and inserting new matter to the effect that the Trustees of Purdue University be authorized to surrender to the Treasury all bonds of the State now held by them, and that the Governor, Treasurer, and Auditor be authorized to execute to said Trustees a new non-negotiable 5 per cent. twenty-year bond.
The amendment was adopted, and the bill was ordered engrossed.
The Committee on Organization of Courts reported on the bill [H. R. 326] to abolish the Cass County Superior Court, recommending that the bill lie on the table.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. JOHNSON offered a resolution that hereafter the House hold its session from 8 a. m. to 12 m. and from 2 p.m. till 6 p. m., which lays over until to-morrow under the rules.
Mr. Murray's bill [H. R. 273] to legalize the acts of the Trustees and officers of the town of Ridgeville, was read the third time and passed.
On motion by Mr. MEREDITH, Senator Comstock's bill [S. 192] to legalize the proceedings of page: 79[View Page 79] School Trustees of Milton, Wayne County was read the third time and passed--yeas, 69; nays, 0.
Mr. Sumner's bill [H. R. 283] to legalize the incorporation of the town of Argos, Marshall County, Ind., acts the Board of Trustees, and other officers, etc., was read the third time and passed--yeas, 73; nays, 1.
Mr. Compton's bill [H. R. 292] to amend Section 31 of an act for the relief of the poor, approved June 9, 1852, was read the third time.
Mr. COMPTON said there is no change in the old law except that Superintendents of the Poor Farm are required to give a bond of $1,000. It also give the County Commissioners discretionary power to raise the bond from $1,000 to $5,000.
The bill passed--yeas, 69; nays, 0.
Mr. Jackson's bill [H. R. 307] to regulate the manufacture and sale of commercial fertilizers, and to prevent the manufacture and sale of adulterated fertilizers, was read the third time.
Mr. FURNAS, by unanimous consent, offered an amendment, which was adopted, by inserting after the word "analysis," Section 1, the following words: "Made by the chemist of a University.
The amendment was considered engrossed.
On motion of Mr. MEREDITH, the bill was recommitted to a Special Committee of five, with instructions to amend, as they may see fit.
The Committee was made to consist of Messrs. Meredith, Furnas, O'Neal, Davis and Jackson.
Mr. Cotton's bill [H. R. 154] to amend Section 4 of an act regulating the indebtedness of Counties having a voting population of over 20,000 inhabitants, approved March 21, 1879, was read the third time.
Mr. COTTON--This bill applies to Counties of 20,000 voting population, only, therefore, it applies to Marion County only. There is no good reason why a County of 20,000 voters should be limited in their right to assess taxes any more than a County of a less number of voters, and the law does not prohibit them from levying taxes at their discretion. This bill limits the Commissioners to forty-five cents on the $100. The last assessment of real estate has reduced the taxables in this County from $95,000,000 to $65,000,000, therefore, the increase asked for in this bill would not increase the taxes individually or collectively if the Commissioners should levy to the full extent of the limit, but would enable the Commissioners to run the affairs of the County without issuing more bonds.
The bill passed--yeas, 60; nays, 11.
Mr. Skinner's bill [H. R. 167] to amend Section 1 of an act for the protection of wild game, fixing the time, etc., prescribing the penalties, was read the third time.
Mr. SKINNER--This is a bill that explains itself. The only change it makes in the old law is, it makes it a crime to kill deer at any season of the year. In the Northern part of the State there is but one thing that will prevent the destruction of this animal, and that is the passage of a law of this kind. The only excuse hunters themselves give for killing deer, is that the law is such that if they do not kill them, some one else will. It is estimated that there are only about fifty or sixty deer in the region of the Kankakee River. I hope the members of this House will pass the bill.
Mr. WESTFALL--Does this law affect domestic animals as well as others? There is a man in our County who has a deer fawn. Does this bill prevent him from killing his deer?
Mr. SKINNER--This bill only applies to wild game.
The bill passed--yeas, 65; nays, 9.
Mr. Gibson's bill [H. R. 207] concerning articles adrift or wrecked being read the third time--
Mr. GIBSON said it provides for the taking up and disposition of property found adrift. Under the present law there is no provision how to dispose of such property. This bill provides where articles are taken up they are to be kept a certain length of time, and if not claimed, they are disposed of and the proceeds placed in the County Treasury, and at the end of one year the money is appropriated to the common school fund.
The bill passed--yeas, 48; nays, 4.
Mr. Kerr's bill [H. R. 220] concerning the liens of mechanics and material men was read the third time.
Mr. Kerr said this bill was prepared by the Codification Committee. It revises, simplifies and re-arranges the old law upon the subject of mechanics' liens. There are some few changes, but all of them are in the interest of mechanics and material men, and look to the enlargement and more perfect maintenance of their rights.
Mr. GILLAM--This bill appears to me to be a very good one in justice to working men. Under the old law, laboring men had not enough rights. Under the provisions of this bill, the property or thing upon which the work is done, is held for the mechanics pay.
The bill passed--yeas, 80; nays, 0.
Mr. LINDLEY'S bill [H. R. 222] to provide for the prosecution of sale of lands forfeited to the State was read the third time.
Mr. LINDLAY said this bill proposes the sale of a number of tracts of land, forfeited to the State, upon which there is no tax paid at the present time.
The bill passed--yeas, 64; nays, 11.
Mr. LINSDAY'S bill [H. R 238] to provide for the sale of lands and lots purchased on behalf of the State, at judicial and other sales, was read the third time.
Mr. LINSDAY said this bill authorizes the State officers to sell these lands for the benefit of the State, in their present condition, thus the State will be reimbursed as far as possinle for the outlay for such purchases.
The bill passed--yeas, 72; nays, 0.
The Judiciary Committee reported on the bill [H. R. 303] in relation to homesteads, recommending its passage with amendments.
The report was concurred in, the bill was read the second time and ordered engrossed.
The SPEAKER announced the special order for this hour to be Mr. Faucher's bill [H. R. 148] relating to the construction of fences, gates, farm crossings, cattle-guards, etc. The bill was read the third time.
Mr. FANCHER--The provisions of this bill are generally known. Nearly every State has a similar statute. The bill requires Railroad Companies to fence their right-of-way within six months after the taking effect of this act, or six month after the construction of a new road or part of a road. The fence is required to be built so it will turn all stock, except hogs. In another section it provides that on failure of the Company to construct such fence, any party sustaining damages shall recover, in additio to the damages, $25. In my judgment that is the only way to reach the Railroad Companies. It is my experience that it is one of the most difficult things to collect a claim against a Railroad Company, especially if page: 80[View Page 80] the judgment is for stock killed. I deem it a good bill and think it ought to pass.
Mr. RYAN--From my own personal knowledge of the operations of railroads, I think this measure ought to pass. Railroads running through the County where I live kill people's stock, and there has been no remedy, as the road changed hands so often that it was hard to tell who the road belonged to. This bill merely provides that a fence shall be built to keep stock off the line of the railroad. The same rule should be applied to railroads as to individuals--that is, not to inflict injury to the property of others; and this bill will accomplish this result.
Mr. COTTON favored the passage of the bill.
Mr. COLE said: "The bill is a good one. It obviates the prevailing difficulty of collecting damages for stock killed upon railroad lines. The present law is not adequate, because a person does not succeed in collecting the full value of the stock killed. This bill provides against relief of Railroad Companies changing ownership.
Mr. GIBSON was opposed to the bill because it would be a consumption of the timber of the country. He considered it a very serious objection.
Mr. MOODY--I hope the bill will pass, though it is not such a bill as I desired and hoped might be passed. I desire that the Railread Company also be required to fence against hogs, and I went before the Committee and urged this amendment to the bill, but the Committee regarded the amendment fatal to the passage of the bill and refused to amend it. I hope the bill will pass.
The bill passed by yeas, 56; nays, 15.
The SPEAKER announced the regular order to be the consideration of the bill [S 271] concerning proceedings in civil cases.
The reading of the bill was commenced by section, and amendments offered as each section was read.
Mr. MOODY moved to amend Section 38, Subdivision 6, by inserting after the word "record," the words, "Except as in this section hereinafter specfied." Also, by adding at the close of line "seven" the words, "Upon judgment of Courts of Record which have been rendered in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage upon real estate within six years from the time of such judgment."
Mr. MOODY--That simply applies where there are foreclosures of mortgages where parties have sold the real estate, receiving nearly all of their money, and still hold their judgment over against the party, who will continue to hold that judgment over for twenty years. It seems to me that where parties have had a mortgage on property and foreclosed the same, and were paid nearly all of the amount due, it ought to be closed up within this time--six years. It does not seem right to hold the judgment over a mortgage when the mortgagee holds the property--to keep this judgment hanging over him for twenty years. Sii years is a sufficient time to hold that judgment.
On motion by Mr. McINTOSCH, the amendment was laid on the table.
Mr. CARTER moved to amend Section 38 by striking out the words in line 19, "hereafter executed," and insert in lieu "judgments of a Court of Record;" also by striking out of lines 20 and 21 the words "of judgments of Courts of Record."
Mr. CARTER--This amendment applies only to promissory notes, bills of exchange and other written contracts for the payment of money hereafter executed. There are a great many notes and contracts now in existence. If this law repeals the law upon that subject there will be no limitation on the contracts now in existence. Therefore I move to strike out the words "hereafter executed." I see no reason why there should be a distinction between a judgment of the Court of Record and promissory notes. For those reasons I want the words out.
The amendment was laid on the table.
Mr. COLE moved to strike out subdivisions 5 and 6 of the same section, and insert the following: "Upon promissory notes, bills of exchange and other written contracts, judgments of Courts of Record, and for the recovery of real estate, within twenty years." He said: This amendment I offer is exactly in the same shape it was when it came from the Revision Committee. I think it is a proper one--that twenty years is not too long a time within which to recover such property.
Mr. STEWART considered twenty years too long a time for such claims to run. He wanted the section to remain as it is, requiring the action to be brought within ten years on this class of claims.
Mr. CARTER said: I think ten years is long enough. There is only one State in the Union which extends the time beyond that. Kentucky extends it to fifteen years. I do not see the justice in saying that citizens of all the States around us shall have the right, if they have a claim against a citizen of this State, to hold it without action for twenty years and when we hold a claim against one of their citizens we must bring that action from between six and ten years.
Mr. KENNER was opposed to the amendment.
The amendment was laid on the table.
Mr. LINSDAY moved to amend Section 255 by adding: "When the application is based upon the causes mentioned in the third subdivision of said section the granting of a change, or refusing the same, shall be in the discretion of the Judge."
Mr. LINSDAY said: "I think that this change ought to be made. The parties to a suit should not be allowed to take change of venue at their pleasure, but the Court should have some discretion in the matter."
Mr. BENHAM thought the section should be left as it is. If a man is willing to go into Court and swear that he can not have justice in the Court, that should satisfy the Court that the cause ought to be transferred.
Mr. STEWART thought the change would work to the detriment of the people rather than improve the state of affairs in that direction. He was in favor of the existing law in that respect.
Mr. LINSDAY--In civil cases we all know that there is scarcely at any time any excitement existing in the community but what the man who has the most money and can carry his case out of the County defeats the man who has no money to pay for his witnesses, thus causing the poor man to suffer. I say it ought to be left to the discretion of the Court whether or not there is a real cause for a change of venue.
Mr. CAUTHORNE--I hope the amendment will prevail. The Constitution says: "Justice shall be administered speedly and without delay." There is no lawyer here who has knowledge of practice but what knows that a change of venue is merely to delay cases. Persons practice law all over this State who delay causes as long as they can by filing affidavits. When they get into another Court they are entitled to one more change. Cases involving real estate are changed to Courts where they have not a sufficient amount of evidence, and the case is continued from year to year simply for the purpose of, probably, depriving the lawful owner of the use of his property. I can see no reason why these trials on the rights of property should be so transferred. I hope the amendment will prevail so as to put an end to this practice of delaying causes.
Mr. KENNER--The Constitution also says that justice shall be administered impartially, as well as speedily. If a man does not want a Judge to try his case, he had not ought to try it. I have known of many cases in which you could no more get justice than you could fly. Judges are men like everybody else, and we should not put too much within their grasp. In many cases this page: 81[View Page 81] change of venue works detrimental, but in the majority of cases it is right.
Mr. RYAN was in favor of the amendment, for the reason that causes are greatly delayed under the present law upon that subject; also, that it is no material help towards securing impartial justice in the majority of cases.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. COTTON moved to amend Section 292, line one, by inserting the word "or affirm" after the word "swear." He said there were many people who would not swear. This amendment would meet their cases.
The amendment was adopted.
Then the House adjourned.

Thanks very much, and appreciate your effort of putting such useful info.
Here I would like to add something is very useful.Hope this help in realizing importance of 'NIRJALA EKADASHI'
"Without drinking even water, one should fast on the Ekadasi that occurs during the light fortnight of the month of Jyeshtha (May-June) when the sun travels in the sign of Taurus (Vrishabh) and Gemini (Mithun), According to learned personalities, on this day one may bathe and perform Achamana for pratiprokshana purification. But while performing Achamana one may drink only that amount of water equal to a drop of gold, or that amount it takes to immerse a single mustard seed. Only this amount of water should be placed in the right palm for sipping, which one should form to resemble a cow's ear. If one drinks more water than this, he might as well have drunk wine - despite the soaring heat of summer (in the northern hemisphere and cold in the southern hemisphere).
Pray to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna in this way making your sankalpa declaration, `Oh Lord of all the devas (demigods), Oh Supreme Personality of Godhead, today I shall observe Ekadashi without taking any water. Oh unlimited Anantadev, I shall break fast on the next day, Dwadashi.' Thereafter, to remove all his sins, the devotee should honour this Ekadashi fast with full faith in the Lord and with full control over his senses. Whether his sins are equal in volume to Mount Sumeru or to MandarAchala Hill, if he or she observes this Ekadashi, the sins that have been accumulated all become nullified and are burned to ashes. Such is the great power of this Ekadashi.
One must certainly not eat anything, for if he does so he breaks his fast. This rigid fast is in effect from sunrise on the Ekadashi day to sunrise on the Dwadashi day. If a person endeavours to observe this great fast very strictly, he easily achieves the result of observing all twenty-five other Ekadashi fasts throughout the entire year."
My Best wishes to all.

If you actually read the section in the Mahabharat krsna is instructing bhim not the rest of the world. Following Bhim or Pandava ekadasi each year observing nirjala doesn't count for every other ekadasi during the year this is a misconception similar to the misconception that the Jiva fell from goloka vrindavan (spiritual world) - read and inquire from a learned source (bonafide guru)
