DAVIS v. DAVIS et al.
(Circuit Court of AppealS, Flnh Circuit. b'ebruary 4. 1896.) No. 431.
FEDERAL COURTS-FoLLOWING STATE PRACTICE-EQ,UITABLE DEFENSES,
Rev. St. § 914, providing that the practice. pleading, etc., In the cil'cuit and district courts in civil cam;es shall conform as nearly as may be to the practice, pleading. etc., in the state courts, does not authorize the federal courts to disregard tne esta1Jlisned distfnctions befween law and equity nor to permit equitable aefenses in actions at law, although the state statutes permit such defenses to bE' made In the state courts.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the South· el'n District of Mississippi. W. L. Nugent, for appellant E. Mayes, for appellees. Before PARDEE and McCORMICK, Circuit Judges, and BOAR· MAN, District Judge. PARDEE, Circuit Judge. The appellant brought his bill in the chancery court of the county of Adams, in the state of Mississippi, against Leander Hargrave, James L. Ligon, the New England Security Mortgage Company, and others, to establish his equitable title to, and recover possession of, the one undivided half of the Homo Chitto plantation, situate in the said county of Adams, state of Mississippi. The defendants above named reo moved the canse to the circuit court for the Southern district of Mississippi, on the ground that the suit was one arising under the constitution and laws of the United States. In the circuit court the said defendants interposed a general demurrer to the bill, which, upon hearing, was sustained; and thereupon the appellant appealed to this court, as error the single proposition that the court erred in sustaining the demurrer and in dismissing the bill. The bill, besides setting out with great particularity the complainant's equitable title and the history of his case, especially charged as follows:
"That on the 12th day of March, A. D. 1889, said S. B. Newman, Jr., instituted agalnstyour complainant, in the circuit court of said Adams county. an action of ejectment to recover possession of the whole of said lands, and your complainant filed a plea therein defending for the one undivided half part of said lands; and on the trial of said cause, your complainant having been permitted, under the law of this state, to introduce his equitable defenses, the plaintiff, said S. B. Newman, Jr., suffered a nonsuit. That subsequently said S. B. Newman, Jr., instituted an action of ejectment, for the whole of said .lands, against your complainant, in the United States circuit court for the Southern district of Mississippi, wherein he prevailed, under the decisions of the supreme court of the United States and the rigid distinctions between law and equity jurisdictions, and wherein the trial of tbe issue in ejectment is confined to the strict legal title, and equitable defenses are not admissible. Your complainant filed a plea to said action, defending for the one undivided balf part of said lands, and on the trial offered to make his equitable defenses; bilt these were excluded by the court, and said New· man, Jr., recovered possession of said half part of said plantation on the
vol. 72.
legal title eonveyed to him as aforesaid by sald trustee. That the only question tried and decided in said action was as to the legal title between said S. B. Newman, Jr., and your complainant, and no equitable questions were or could have been considered In said action, and said obtained judg" ment."
The question presented under the assignment of error appears to be this: The practice act of the state of Mississippi permits equitable defenses to be made to actions at law, and in ejectment permits a recovery upon an equitable title; and section 914 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides that "the practice, pleadings and forms and modes of proceeding in civil causes, other than equity and admiralty causes in circuit and district courts, shall conform as near as may be to the practice, pleadings, forms and mode of proceeding existing at the time in like causes in the court of record of the state within which circuit and district courts are held." Therefore, in the circuit court of the United States for the Southern district of Mississippi, the appellant, when sued in ejectment, to recover the lands in controversy, was entitled to set up any equitable title he had to defeat the action; and that the ruling of the court in such action, denying him the right to plead and prove his equitable title, was, at most, a mere error of the law judge, in the exercise of his law jurisdiction, which couH only have been remedied by writ of error, and cannot now be remedied by a bill in chancery. The learned counsel for the appellees admits the general common· law rule that cognizance of equitable titles cannot be had in actions of ejectment, and admits that such rule, under ordinary circumstances, ought to be, and will be, applied in federal courts. He says:
"But, after all, there Is no such thing as a universal system of common law, applicable to the entire United States. The common law, as enforced In the several states, by the federal courts therein, is enforced as the law of the states in Which the courts are held. The cases relied upon by counsel, and the other cases to the same effect, not cited by him (of which there are several), are unquestionably sound law. But our proposition Is, and this Is also Indubitably true, that not a single one of those cases was decided in a state in which, in the common-law courts of that state, a different practice obtained at the time, which practice was, by section 914 of the Revised Statutes of the United States (being the act of 1872) adopted. Now, the bill In this case admits that, in Mississippi, an equitable title couId be offered In an action of ejectment In the common-law courts, as a good defense. Section 914 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, we claim, therefore, produces this result: That by virtue of an act of congress, in such case made, that practice is, as to this state, and every other state in which a similar practice obtains, adopted, not as common-law practice, but, as to the federal courts, a statutory practice; and that question has not been raised in any of the cases cited by counsel, or in any of the cases In"" Which the supreme court of the United States has decided that equitable titles cannot be passed on In ejectment suits."
As cases in which the supreme court of the United States has recognized the principle for which the learned counsel contends, he cites Morgan v. Eggers, 127 U. 13.63, 8 Sup. Ct. 1041; Sears v. Eastburn, 10 How. 187; Lamaster v. Keeler, 123 U. S. 376, 8 Sup. Ct. 197. In Morganv. Eggers, a local statute, to the effect that, In an action of ejecttilept, plaintiffs were entitled to recover against the defendants, or either of them, the whole of the premIses in controversy,
or any part thereof, or any interest therein, according to the rights of parties, was recognized as applicable in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Indiana. In Sears v. Eastburn, supra, the practice act of Alabama, abolishing fictitious proceedings in ejectment, and substituting in their place the action of trespass, for the purpose of trying title to lands, and recovering their possession, was held applicable in the circuit court for the district of Alabama. In Lamaster v. Keeler, supra, it was held that, under proper construction of sections 914, 916, Rey. St. U. S., a Nebraska statute respecting stay of executions and orders of sale did not govern proceedings after judgment in the circuit courts of the United States sitting in Nebraska. In none of these cases do we find that the generally recognized distinction between law and equity is at all affected by the practice acts of any of the states. In Bagnell v. Broderick, 13 Pet. 436, which was an action of ejectment, in which it was sought to set up equitable titles, the supreme court said:
"The equity side of the circuit court is the proper forum, and a bill the proper remedy, to investigate the equities of the parties."
And that has been the rule, many times recognized, so that, in Foster v. Mora, 98 U. S. 425, 428, the court declared, not deeming it necessary to cite authorities:
"In actions of ejectment, in the United States courts, the strict legal title prevails. If there are equities which would show the right to be in another, these can only be considered on the equity side of the federal courts."
And see Langdon v. Sherwood, 124 U. S. 74, 85,8 Sup. Ct. 429.
It is unnecessary to multiply authorities, for counsel for appellees
admits the general rule, but claims that the decisions of the supreme court declaring it have not been rendered since section 914 was adopted (1872) in any case arising in any state in which, in the common-law courts of that state, a different practice obtained at the time. The argument is that Scott v. Neely, 140 U. S. 106, 11 Sup. Ct. 712, and Cates v. Allen, 149 U. S. 451,13 Sup. Ct. 883,977, are only to the effect that, when it is a question of jurisdiction on the chancery side of the federal courts, the courts are sedulous in observing a distinction between common law and equity, for the reason that the act of congress declares, in express terms, that the United States courts sitting in equity shall have jurisdiction in those cases only in which there is no plain, complete, and adequate remedy at law; and that, on the other hand, congress itself, by the act of 1872, has declared a different rule in respect to common-law jurisdiction, and, just so clearly as federal legislation has restricted the equity jurisdiction of the federal courts, has it, on the other hand, enlarged, by a plastic and variable rule, the common-law practice, so as to conform to the local practice in those courts exercising common-law powers. Without discussing the points decided in Scott v. Neely and Cates v. Allen, we are of opinion the matter has been conclusively settled by the supreme court in Scott v. Armstrong, 146 U. S. 499, 512, 13 Sup. ct. 148, where the question as to whether a circuit court of the United States (sitting as a court of law in a state where, by the
practice act of the state, all distinctions between actions at law and suits in equity were abolished, and all defenses, counterclaims, and set-offs, whether formally known as legal or equitable, were permitted) had jurisdiction to entertain an equitable defense was squarely presented, and the court said:
"Section 914 of the Revised Statutes, in providing that the practice, pleading, and forms and modes of proceeding in civil causes, in the circuit and district courts, shall conform as near as may be to the practice, pleadings, and forms and modes of proceeding eXisting at the time in like causes in the courts of record of the state within which such circuit or district courts are held, in terms exciudes equity causes therefrom; and the jurisprudence of the United States has always recognized the distinction between law and equity as, under the constitution, matter of substance, as well as of form and procedure. And, accordingly, legal and equitable claims cannot be blended together in one suit in the circuit courts of the United States, nor are equitable defenses permitted. Bennett v. Butterworth, 11 How. 669; Thompson v. Railroad Co., 6 Wall. 134; Scott v. Neely. 140 U. S. 106, 11 Sup. Ct. 712; Montejo v. Owen, 14 Blatchf. 324, }1'ed. Cas. No. 9,722; La Mathe Manuf'g Co. v. National Tube Works Co., 15 Blatchf. 432, Fed. Cas. No. 8,033. We are of opinion that the circuit court had no power to grant the set-off in question in the suit at law."
Later, in Lindsay v. Bank, 156 U. S. 485, 493, 15 Sup. Ct. 472, in dealing with the practice on the law side of the United States court, sitting in Louisiana, the court said:
"The case is thus brought within the rule, which this court has so often had occasion to lay down, that the remedies in the courts of the United States are, at common law or in eqUity, not according to the practice of state courts, but according to the principles of common law and equity, as distinguished and defined in that country from which we derive our knowledge of these principles; Rn(l that, although. the forms of proceedings and practice in the state courts shall have been adopted in the circuit cuurts of the United States, yet the adoption of the state practic,e must not be understood. as confounding the principles of law and equity, nor as authorizing legal and equitable claims to be blended together inane suit. Bennett v. Butterworth, 11 How. 669,674; Thompson v.Railroad Co., 6 Wall. 134; Broderick's Will Case, 21 Wall. 503, 520. It is true that the cases in which such strictures bavebeen expressed have been usually those in which resort has been had to equitable forms of relief instead of legal remedies, and \'Then defendants have thus been deprived of the constitutional right of trial by jury; but so long as we attach importance to regular forms of procedure, we cannot sustain' so plain an attempt as is here presented to substitute the machinery of a court of law, in which the facts are found by the jury, and the law prescribed by the judge, for the usual and legitimate practice of a court of chancery."
As to the right of the complainant to appeal to equity to recognize title, after judgment at law, see North a meritorious, Chicago RoIling Mill Co. v. St. Louis Ore & Steel Co., 152 U. S. 615, 14 Sup. Ct. 710, where it is said:
"Again, it is well established that equity will entertain jurisdiction, and afford relief against the collection of a jUdgment, where, in justice and good conscience, it ought not to be enforced, al:' where there is a meritorious equitable defensetbereto, which could not have been set up at law, or which the party was, \Vithout fault or negligence, prevented from interposing. illustrations of these general principles are found in the cases of Leeds v. Insurance Co., 6 Wheat. 565; Scammon v. Kimball, 92 U. S.362; Crim v. Handley,94 U.S. 652; Embry v. Palmer, 107 U. S. 3. 2 Sup. ct. 25; Knox Co. v. Harshman, 138 U, S. 152, 10 Sup. Ct. 257; Marshal v. Haimes, 141 U. S. 589, 12 Sup. Ct. 62."
We are clear that the circuit court erred in sustaining the gen· eral demurrer to the bill, and therefore the decree appealed from is reversed, and the cause is remanded, with instructions to overrule the demurrer, and thereafter proceed as equity may require.
JONES v. MANN et al.
(CircuIt Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
No. 160.
February 14, 1896.)
ApPEAL-DISMJSSAL-DEJ,AY IN FURNlSHUW RECORDS AND BHIEFS.
Where the case is docketed and the record filed before the return day, as prescribed by rule 16 of the circuit court of appeals for the FOUl'th circuit (11 C. C A. cvL, 47 Fed. vii.), the appeal will not be dismissed, although the appellant so long delayed the filing of the record that it was impossible for him to file and furnish to the opposite parties the printed copies of the record and of his brief within the times prescribed by rules 23 and 24 (11 C. C. A. liL, 48 Fed. IiL).
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the East· ern District of Virginia. Alfred P. Thom, for appellant. Sharp & Hughes and Whitehurst & Hughes, for appellees. Before GOFF and SIMONTON, Circuit Judges, and PAUL, Dis· trict Judge. SIMONTON, Circuit Judge. This is a motion to dismiss the appeal in this case (1) because appellant did not print and file 20 copieEi of the record 20 days before the beginning of the term; (2) because he did not furnish to the appellees 3 copies of the record 10 days before the term; (3) because he did not file 20 copies of printed brief 10 days before the term. Rule 16 of this court (11 C. C. A. cvi., 47 Fed. viii.) makes it the duty of appellant to docket the case and tile a record thereof with the clerk of this court by or before the return day, whether in vacation or in term time. The decree appealed from was filed on December 4, 1895. Appeal allowed, and citation issued 4th January, 1896. The record was filed 22d .day of January, 1896, and the return day of the citation was 1st February, 1896. So in this respect the appellant was within the rule. It is true, he might by great diligence have filed the record sooner, but he was not requi!'ed to do so, and cannot be punished for not doing so. The record having been filed on 22d of January, and printed on the 30th January, it was impossible for appellant to file printed copies with the clerk 20 days before the term, which began 4th February, 1896, as required by rule 23 (11 C. C. A. JiL, 48 Fed. iii.), and equally impossible for him to file with the clerk 10 days before the term printed copies of his brief, as required by rule 24, Id. But as his inability to do these resulted from the late date at which the record was filed and printed, and as the filing at that date broke no rule of this court, he cannot be punished for not following rules 23 and 24. Circumstances prevented the trial of the case at this term. It is continued, the motion being refused.

Was in the Navy from 69-73. My last duty station was the USS Gurke DD783, which was forward deployed out of Japan..did a lot of fire support, bird dogging carriers off Yankee Station, etc. For several months prior to this was assigned to a ship "welded" in "s--t" river (Mekong). Was telling my son about bring back a PBR in which we only found (wrist pin?) in the the remains of the boat. Was watching the history channel when my old commander was talking about this bit of metal that we found. He used it as a paper weight...which brought my wife and son to question just how "old" are you "Dad"...wife was 3 years old when I went to VN, so with 17 years difference between us history is a little more meaningful to me!

Senator Maria Cantwell wants the White House to stop a proposed mine in Alaska that she says will threaten jobs in Washington state. The proposed Pebble Mine, in Western Alaska, sits near Bristol Bay, which is one of the world's most abundant salmon habitats. About 1,000 Washington residents hold commercial fishing permits there. At a rally at Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle, Cantwell described the mine as a "giant cauldron of toxic waste."
"I say that because the science shows that this material would take hundreds of thousands of years to get rid of if it reached the watershed. So one mistake and that cauldron starts to seep into our water, into the fish, and killing these important jobs," Cantwell says.
She's asking President Obama to follow up on an EPA assessment that said the mine could pose a danger to the salmon. The Pebble Partnership, which is seeking to build the mine, says her request is unprecedented, and would halt plans to bring thousands of jobs and billions in economic growth to western Alaska. Spokesman Mike Heatwole called the EPA study a political document designed to sink the project.

As I mentioned in the My First Time: The Victoria Clipper piece last week, I not only had the opportunity to head up to Victoria, Canada for a day drip with one of my colleagues, but captain David Mayden, co-captain Robert Reeder and Engine Controller Kurt Sutter also trusted us enough to spend some time hanging out in the cockpit of the Victoria Clipper IV on our journey back.
Talking with the men responsible for our lives on open water while they were working was a bit odd at first, but they reassured us that they knew what they were doing—thanks to being caffeinated by Caffe Vita coffee.
With our trip coinciding with the launch of Vita's Caffe Luna drip on each Clipper vessel and in their Seattle café, it seemed as if every crewmember was ecstatic about the change.
And since Mayden, Reeder and Sutter were so welcoming; they let us ask them some questions while we got the best view on the boat. Here's what they had to say.
Mayden: "I must say, I love Caffe Vita coffee. I actually go there quite often, usually heading up on the one in Capitol Hill."
How long have you been working at the Clipper, how you got into it and what intrigues you doing it?
Mayden: "I was working on other boats, small passenger vessels and I didn't want to go out to sea anymore, so I started looking for jobs where I could come home at night, and I found this job. After I was hired as an attendant downstairs, I just sort of worked my way up from that to mate to finally captain. And I've been here about 10 years."
As someone who just visited Victoria for the first time, is there anything you recommend as a must-see?
Reeder: "The Royal BC Museum."
Mayden: "It's one of the best national history museums that you'll find anywhere."
Seeing how Victoria is so big on coffee itself, how do you compare it to Seattle's coffee scene?
Mayden: "I've had varying experiences. There's one coffee shop that I go near the Clipper Condo (where the crew stays overnight on trips), which is an independent place, and they have really good coffee. Overall, though, I've found that the coffee isn't quite as good as Seattle."
How much do you rely on coffee each morning?
Reeder: (laughing) "I don't want to say that I rely on it, but I will say that I'm a connoisseur. And by that I mean that, yeah, I really am just an addict. I really like the Caffe Vita in Capitol Hill; it's one of my favorite spots. My friends and I go and hang out upstairs and just relax. It's great."
What's your favorite part about your job?
Mayden: (points to the open sea) "This is my office. (Laughing) But besides the obvious, I would have to say not having to work in a regular office. I could never do that. More than that, though, it's the people. I love the people. We have a great crew."
Are you excited about having Caffe Vita on-board?
Mayden: "Absolutely. Yes. The only reason I was drinking the coffee we had before was because I had to, it was what was available, and I had to stay awake."
Sutter: "It's a huge improvement. I think everyone is really excited about it because what we had before was just so terrible."
Mayden: "One thing that I think is really important about having Vita specifically is, since we're a tourist attraction, people expect to get good coffee when in Seattle, and they get that with a cup of Vita. We're representing Seattle, and now they get that."
What do you think about the Caffe Luna blend that we offer?
Sutter: "I really like it. It's rich and smooth at the same time.
Mayden: "I like it, too, but, personally, it's a little light for me (even though it's the darkest roast Vita offers). I like my coffee really, really dark. It's super smooth. Just before you came up here while on our North Side trip, I thought to myself, 'Man, this coffee is good.' It's very drinkable. Super smooth."
How critical is it to have good coffee available?
Mayden: "It's just really good to have good coffee. Like, it's a total morale thing. When you get to work at 4:45 in the morning and you have a shitty cup of coffee, that doesn't help your day at all. But when you're sitting there with a nice cup of coffee and you're taking on fuel early in the morning; that definitely helps. I think it really has boosted the entire crew's morale. Good coffee can go a long way."
Sutter: "It's important. The stuff we had before was so bad that I actually brought my own Insta Coffee. I would drink that because it was actually better than the stuff on-board. It was bad."

Audio Art Archive at the Tate
"Since its inception, by British artist William Furlong in 1972, the seminal sound art magazine, Audio Arts has become one of the most comprehensive and coherently focused aural archive of artists' voices and sound art in the world."
In its 33 year run, from 1973 to 2006, Audio Arts magazine explored the possibilities of audio-cassette technology. The Tate acquired the Audio Arts archive back in 2004. Now, the Tate has digitized the sound archive, including volumes and supplements, of over 900 artists that were recorded in Audio Arts cassettes.
"The collection comprises paper records – including correspondence, research files and accounts – rare exhibition catalogues, private view cards, photographs, production equipment and of course the published and original audio recordings in a variety of formats including reel to reel tapes (5, 7 and 10 inch), cassettes, DAT tapes, CDs and MPEGs."

35 million Getty Images are now free for online personal use
Getty just announced free use of a bulk of their image stock, with the caveat that every image must be embedded with the Getty brand. While this move is innovative and accommodating to users, there are several concerns that the embedded Getty Images Content will, among many other issues like tackling the murky definition of Fair Use, "establish a Getty-controlled infrastructure all across the web. That infrastructure, in turn, could be used for … ads. Banner ads. Preroll ads. Ads of many, many varieties." (via The Atlantic)
From The Verge: If you go to the Getty Images website, you'll see millions of images, all watermarked. There are more than a hundred years of photography here, from FDR on the campaign trail to last Sunday's Oscars, all stamped with the same transparent square placard reminding you that you don't own the rights. If you want Getty to take off the watermark, you'll have to pay for it.
Starting now, that's going to change. Getty Images is dropping the watermark for the bulk of its collection, in exchange for an open-embed program that will let users drop in any image they want, as long as the service gets to append a footer at the bottom of the picture with a credit and link to the licensing page. For a small-scale WordPress blog with no photo budget, this looks an awful lot like free stock imagery…..read more

CRANES captain Andy Mwesigwa has tipped amateur football players in Uganda to maintain discipline if they are to seek for professional football.
The Cranes captain was speaking at a gathering of football fans and players at Mainstreet Primary School Playground on Saturday where he urged players to be disciplined, hardworking and God fearing.
'I grew up in Jinja town so I know that east or west, home is best and Jinja is my home after my short football career. As one's career in football is just for a few years, you really have to sacrifice for it as an investment to succeed and join the professional ranks." Mwesigwa said.
"So if you are to become a professional player, you have to be hardworking during training, be disciplined towards your club leaders and with this also try to avoid alcohol, drugs and smoking. This will help you succeed in life as a professional footballer", added Mwesigwa who plies his trade in the Vietnam league.
He added that above all, every footballer must be God fearing.

Poe's famous detective story which is credited with inspiring an entire genre. The first case of the celebrated private detective, Dupin.
When two women are found murdered in the most gruesome and mysterious circumstances in their apartment in the Rue Morgue, the Parisian police are baffled. Not only is one of the corpses stuffed feet first up a chimney in a room locked from the inside, but the other is hideously mutilated and lying in the yard outside. The voices of the two assailants were clearly heard by multiple witnesses, but no trace can be found of them. Once Dupin takes an interest in the case, however, his superb powers of observation and deduction lead him to a most remarkable and yet self-evident conclusion.

congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations
Genetic: Patient
Blood and histological samples will be done at day of the inclusion.
Detailed Description:
Congenital lung malformations are rare diseases, characterized by the coexistence in the same individual of normal lung and localized lung malformation. Among these malformations, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM) represent the most important group, with an estimated incidence between 1/11 000 and 1/35 000 births. The precise mechanisms leading to these lung malformations remain poorly understood. This project aims to identify key genetic and/or molecular mechanisms associated with the occurrence of CCAM. CCAMs are collected during postnatal surgical resection. Parental agreement is required. A standardised histologic description of malformations is performed for each sample. Normal lung tissue at the periphery of the malformation is considered as control. Malformations will be analyzed in a systematic way by proteome and transcriptome, after laser microdissection. Somatic genetic abnormalities will also systematically be sought.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 8 Years (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children < 8 years
- Thoracic surgery for congenital lung malformation
- Parental written consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children > 8 years
- Previous infection of the malformation
- Parental rebutal

Emergency services were called to the A47 Brundall roundabout after a car ended up in a ditch.
Fire crews from Sprowston, Carrow and Acle were called following initial reports of an overturned car at Blofield.
Police have now confirmed a Nissan Note and a HGV were involved in a collision on the Norwich side of the Brundall roundabout just after 10.20am. Police and paramedics also attended.
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said no one was injured. A spokesman for Norfolk police said the two elderly occupants of the car were "fine" but shocked.
First Bus warned passengers to expect some disruption to the Green line as a result of the incident.

A/N: A brief note: this is indeed the final chapter. But fret not because I get the feeling you guys will enjoy it. Thoroughly. If you know what I mean.
Max's morning began very unceremoniously.
Mostly because it began at six o'clock in the morning.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! The pink-haired teen groaned and rolled over, her voice a husky, incoherent growl.
"Five more minutes, Melissa!"
"C'mon, get up! Get up, get up, it's Christmas!" Matthew McGinnis hollered through the door, scampering off down the hallway to wake up his mother as well. Max had barely understood what he said, having burrowed one side of her face against the nearest thing beneath the covers—which happened to be Terry's chest. Part of her seemed to realize this fact, but she was too sleepy to care.
As if on cue, the teenage boy stirred, letting loose a deep and equally sleepy growl that indicated he too had been awakened.
"Does he always do this?" Max grumbled, stubbornly staying put in her new spot.
"Yes," Terry groused, not moving either. "When we get out there, I'm gonna give him a swirly he'll never forget."
She snorted, choking on a laugh. "I'll take pictures."
He lifted the comforter, staring down at her with an amused look. "Sleep well?"
She closed her eyes, sighing. "Would have slept better if you'd stop kicking me in your sleep."
He scowled. "I don't kick in my sleep."
Max propped her chin on his ribcage, arching an eyebrow. "Yeah, you do. Because you fight bad guys even in your sleep."
A small blush crawled over his cheeks. "Oh. Then I guess I owe you an apology."
"You owe my knees an apology," the girl mused. He flashed her a quick grin and rolled over suddenly, hovering above her on his hands. He rolled up the hem of her pajama pants and stared down at her kneecaps with a completely serious expression.
"I'm very sorry. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive me?"
Max collapsed into laughter, no longer caring about being up so early considering the amount of entertainment she was now getting. "You are a sick man, McGinnis."
He shrugged. "Hey, you told me to apologize."
"Since when do you listen to me?"
"When it allows me the opportunity to get underneath your clothes." The grin turned very sly and she rolled her eyes, stretching her back for a moment and suppressing a yawn.
"Sometimes I think you're as delusional as your ex-girlfriend."
Terry tilted his head slightly. "What does that mean?"
Max waved her hand dismissively. "She called last night and said she thinks the reason you two broke up was because of me. As if there's any truth to that."
She expected him to laugh it off with something clever, but instead he paused for a moment and when he spoke, his voice was low.
"What if there is?"
Her brown eyes widened in surprise. "What are you talking about?"
She nearly jumped when he touched her knees, pushing her legs down, and crawled above her until they were face-to-face. Her pulse skyrocketed as he knelt above her, his expression somewhere between solemn and desirous. He planted his hands on either side of her waist, leaning in and erasing several important inches between them.
"You know what I'm talking about," Terry replied softly. She swallowed hard, trying not to let her eyes slide to his muscular body damn near close enough to touch.
"I'm not sure I do."
"Max. You're way smarter than you give yourself credit for. You know exactly what I'm getting at. I know you've been avoiding talking about it because it makes you nervous."
Nervous, her brain laughed. Not even close. More like induces a total mental shutdown. She ignored her cynical inner voice and tried to figure how to get herself out of her current position and into another one. Er, not that kind of position.
"Look, I think we've just been spending too much time around each other and you're mistaken it for chemistry. We're just friends—" She tried to explain, but he cut her off.
"We are not just friends, Max. I know you've noticed how things have changed. You can't keep pretending not to know how I feel about you."
Her brow furrowed. "How do you feel about me?"
Terry reached down and gripped her right wrist, lifting her hand to his mouth. He kissed her palm gently, pale blue eyes locked on her shocked face. A wave of warmth flooded down her arm and all through her body. His lips parted to say more but then there was a knock at the door. Again.
"Terry, Max, it's time to get breakfast started!" Mary called. Max licked her lips and tried to recover her voice, not glancing away from Terry for even a moment.
"In a minute, Ms. McGinnis."
"What's taking them so long?" Matt wondered aloud as the two sat down at the table, having finished an entire stack of pancakes, a casserole dish full of scrambled eggs, and a pan full of bacon by their lonesome. Mary glanced furtively at the still-closed door, resisting the urge to smile.
"They must have gotten…preoccupied."
"I am so going to Hell," Max groaned, though the statement was muffled against Terry's lips since she was stretched on top of him with her hands balanced on his shoulders. He smirked, running his fingers up the back of her tank top and enjoying the little shudder that went down her spine as a result.
"Why's that?"
"Well," she mumbled in between frantic, heated kisses. "It's Christmas morning, your family is waiting in the kitchen for us, and we're making out like a couple of horny middle schoolers."
"I could see how that would make you feel bad," he replied in a thoughtful voice as he cheerfully yanked her shirt off and slid his palm against her flawless, flat stomach.
"We should probably get out there. Y'know, in five minutes or so."
She nodded too many times, trying to clear her head but damn the boy could kiss. "Five minutes. Right."
He rolled them over suddenly, grinning at the alarmed expression that flooded across her face at being beneath him again. "Let's see how far we can get in five minutes."
"…so going to Hell."
Five minutes and twenty-seven seconds later, Terry and Max emerged from the bedroom. Mary noticed that Max's legs seemed a bit wobbly but said nothing about it, welcoming them to the table.
"Just in time. I was worried the food would get cold before you two showed up."
"Sorry, we just got to talking and you know how we are," Terry explained smoothly, selecting a couple strips of bacon while Max piled on the pancakes and opened the syrup bottle.
"Yes, well. I was starting to think you'd already eaten."
Max accidentally squirted syrup halfway across the table. Terry bit the inside of his lip to keep from laughing. Matt burst into giggles, although for a completely different reason. She muttered an apology, getting up to grab a dishcloth to clean the table. The remainder of breakfast was largely uneventful and they cleaned up afterwards, leaving Terry and Max to whisper to each other at the sink while his mother ushered Matt off to start organizing the Christmas presents.
"Do you think she knows?" Max asked, chewing on her bottom lip. Terry shook his head.
"Relax, she doesn't know. How could she possibly know?"
Max shot him a sarcastic glare. "One, she's your mother and two, you're about as subtle as a tank that's been lit on fire."
He assumed a haughty look. "Oh, I'm not subtle? You're the one who doused the table in maple syrup, Miss Gibson. I wonder where your mind went during that comment."
She avoided his teasing gaze, instead focusing on rinsing the dishes he was washing. "No idea what you're talking about. My hand slipped."
"So did mine." He ducked as she swung her sudsy fist at his head, chuckling.
"I'm kidding. Besides, even if she did know, it wouldn't be a big deal anyway. She's crazy about you."
She blinked up at him. "Really?"
He smiled, letting the amusement drain out of his voice and transform into warmth. "Really."
He shut off the faucet and shook the water from his hands, beckoning her. "C'mon. It's time for your first McGinnis Christmas."
When they walked into the den, Matt was seated in the midst of a pile of presents, making Max giggle because she could only see the top of his tousled black hair. Mary sat in the loveseat, watching patiently as the two of them sat down on the couch.
"Now can I open them?" The eight year old pleaded. Mary waved a hand in admission and he grabbed the first one, tearing off the wrapping paper with glee. Terry shook his head and got up, fetching the rest of the presents from underneath the tree. He handed five wrapped boxes to his mother, sorted out three for himself, and hefted the biggest box over to where Max was sitting. She blinked rapidly, confused.
"You want me to help you open it?"
"No. It's for you."
Her jaw dropped. "L-Look at the size of this thing! What on Earth did you get me?"
Terry grinned mysteriously. "Open it and see."
Casting him one last suspicious look, she carefully pulled off the green wrapping paper and priedthe lid of the box open, going silent.
"Where…where did you get this? It's so…cute." She reached inside and pulled out a life-sized stuffed Hello Kitty—her one and only guilty pleasure.
"I was in this retro shop last week getting something for Mr. Wayne and that's when I saw it. Now you have something to match your PJs."
"I hate you," she moaned, hugging its incredibly soft furry stomach. "Now Melissa's gonna find out and she'll never let me live it down."
Terry shrugged. "Worth it."
"Here, open this one next," Mary suggested, handing Max a slender rectangular box. "It's from all of us."
"You didn't have to get me anything," the girl started, but Mary waved the comment away.
"Nonsense. You're practically one of us. Open it."
Carefully, Max peeled off the wrapping paper and found a white box containing a ceramic angel, painted red and green with the words, "Merry Christmas" across the angel's sash in gold.
"It's one of the first ornaments Terry and I made when he was little. He was pretty good with a brush for a five year old." She said, smiling when she noticed the slightly embarrassed look on Terry's face. Max rose from her seat and hugged her, her voice soft and meaningful.
"Thank you. It means a lot to me."
"No problem at all, dear." She patted the girl's back and Max went back to her seat just as Terry got to the present she'd left for him. He tilted his head slightly.
"A picture frame?"
"A digital picture frame," Max corrected, flipping it over in his hands so he could see the controls. "I noticed all the photos you have of your Dad in your room and thought you might want to scan them all and put them in here. That way if any of the originals get damaged, you'll always have them to remember him by."
He smiled and it warmed her all the way to her toes. "Thanks, Max. Really. It's perfect."
"Not as perfect as Space Ninja Pirate Dinosaurs IV!" Matt exclaimed, plucking the video game from the wrapping paper. He flung himself into his brother's arms, gleeful.
"How did you know I wanted this one?"
Terry ruffled his brother's hair, chuckling. "Oh, I have my ways. Why don't you go get it started in your room and I'll catch up."
"Schway!" Matt raced off down the hallway. Mary arched an eyebrow at Terry, who rolled his eyes.
"It's rated E for Everyone, Mom."
"Yes, well, everyone isn't into outer space ninjas and pirate dinosaurs," she replied in a mild voice, rising to retrieve the scattered bits of wrapping paper. Max helped her gather the pieces up, tossing them in a garbage bag they'd gotten specifically for this reason. Terry glanced at his watch before catching Max's attention.
"Hey, you want to come with me to make a quick stop?"
"Yeah, sure. Where are we going?"
He only smiled. "You'll see."
The windows were all blocked out with curtains and there was a good, strong fire going. He had allowed the Great Dane the luxury of a hambone as his Christmas gift, but went no further to recognize the current holiday. He sat in his chair in front of the mantel, sipping his tea and barring all thoughts of the date from his mind.
"Hrm," Bruce grunted, forcing himself out of his chair with the help of his cane. "Figures. You'd think after getting chased down the driveway by a Great Dane people would stop showing up for caroling."
He hobbled over to the door and yanked it open with his most fearsome death glare only to find Terry and Max standing there with identical smirks. He softened his expression only slightly.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm guessing you weren't expecting us," Terry mused. Bruce glared.
"No. Usually it's the carolers. Stubborn bunch."
Begrudgingly, he stepped aside and let them in, noticing that Terry was carrying something large and wrapped in white linen that made him suspicious. Ace came bounding in from the den, barking happily as he recognized the duo. Max had visited the Manor a couple of times—much to Wayne's annoyance—and so he'd gotten used to her. She knelt to pet the dog, cooing softly as if he were a harmless poodle while the dog contently licked all the snow off her coat, wagging his tail.
Bruce went back into the den, not bothering with any more pleasantries. "What's the occasion?"
Terry sighed, setting the unidentified item down on the carpet. "Like you don't already know."
Bruce resisted the urge to grunt again. "I've told you before I don't want any presents."
"And I've told you before that I don't care," Terry answered with a grin. "Besides, I got the feeling you'd actually like this one."
He undid a couple of pieces of twine and pulled the linen off, revealing a large, beautifully decorated cherrywood frame. Bruce fell silent, his mind slowly putting together what it was for, which drew his eyes to the space above his fireplace where the portrait of his parents hung.
"I noticed the frame was wearing out and I thought you'd like a new one."
For a moment, the former Dark Knight had nothing to say. He examined the young man before him, trying to quantify the feeling growing in his chest. Gratitude, he thought. He hadn't felt in it a very long time. Though he wasn't exactly about to just thank the kid. Didn't want him to get the wrong impression.
"Leave it by the window. I'll have someone put it up tomorrow morning," The old man said, casually sipping his tea. Terry's face split into a grin.
"You're welcome, old man."
"One big happy Bat-family," Max teased as Bruce brushed past, patting his leg to call Ace to his side. Bruce glanced at her, though not unkindly.
"Don't you two have somewhere to be?"
Max opened her mouth to reply, but then she heard the sound of a car horn beeping twice. She instead smiled and walked towards the window, pointing to the driveway.
"Apparently, so do you."
A moment later, the front door opened, spilling cold and a few flurries of snow in, and with it a beautiful brunette woman in a lavender overcoat. She shut the door, noticing Terry and Max with an open smile.
"Hi. Didn't know you already had company."
"Not my idea," Bruce grumbled. The woman's smile widened.
"As if it ever is. Hello, Terry. I see you're still putting up with him."
Terry smirked. "For now, anyway."
The woman giggled. "Of course. And you must be…Max, right?"
Max extended her hand, perplexed that this stunning woman knew her name. "Yeah, that's me. And you are…?"
"A friend. When Bruce lets me be, anyway," She added, cutting her blue eyes to Bruce, who merely scowled and looked away. Terry took Max by the shoulders and ushered her towards the door.
"Well, I'm sure you two have catching up to do so we'll see you around. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas to you as well." With that, they went back outside into the snow. Max tugged on Terry's sleeve, pointing to the door.
"Who was that? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I don't remember."
Terry bit the inside of his lip to keep from smiling. "Well, she is pretty wonderful."
"Pretty wonderful? What are talking about, Ter—" Max stopped dead in mid-sentence, her jaw dropping as she put the pieces together.
"Terry…tell me that wasn't Wonder Woman."
"The one and only."
Max palmed her forehead, feeling slightly dizzy. "I just met Wonder Woman. I just met Wonder Woman."
Terry tried to suppress several more chuckles. "Yes, you did."
"This is officially the best Christmas of my life."
Terry adopted an offended expression, turning to face her. "Oh, so not when I took you ice skating and gave you a foot massage and bought you a gigantic stuffed kitten? This is what made your Christmas the best Christmas ever?"
Max smiled suddenly. "Nope."
"Well then, what did?"
She reached up on her tiptoes and kissed him, slowly, one hand cradling his cheek. He became lost in it, forgetting about the cold and the snow and the ice and anything else in the world. When she let go, he glanced upward, expecting to see mistletoe, but there was nothing there. He couldn't have smiled any harder if he wanted to.
"Merry Christmas, Terry."
"Merry Christmas, Max."
A/N: And that's the end. I hope you enjoyed their little romp. I am eternally grateful for all the reviews and kind words I've gotten. I do admit that Max is a bit OOC in this chapter, but it was only for the sake of humor. Thanks again for all the support!
P.S. Mary TOTALLY knows. Just in case you were wondering. And if you want to know just what Terry and Max were doing in his room...use your imagination. :D

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Detroit's bullpen did its job. Even without Joakim Soria.
Max Scherzer worked seven strong innings and the Tigers' oft-criticized bullpen shut down the Angels the final two innings to help Detroit pull out a 6-4 win over Los Angeles and snap a six-game losing streak in Anaheim.
Acquired from the Texas Rangers in a blockbuster trade late Wednesday, Soria was spotted warming up in the sixth inning, but his services weren't needed late in the game. As expected, Joba Chamberlain pitched the eighth inning and beleaguered closer Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth to pick up his 21st save.
The win improved the Tigers' major league-best road record to 31-17, and extended their lead in the AL Central to seven games.
Key to the game
Scherzer struck out 11 and worked seven innings of three-run ball, outdueling Angels starter Garrett Richards en route to his 12th win this season.
His 12 wins ties him with teammate Rick Porcello and New York's Masahiro Tanaka for the league lead.
Richards, who entered Thursday with a 7-0 record and a 1.25 ERA in his last nine starts, gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks. It marked just the first time since May 30 he has allowed three or more runs.
Tigers' highlights
-- Back in the lineup after a three-game absence, Nick Castellanos hit a go-ahead two-run double to give the Tigers a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning. His double came on the heels of Torii Hunter's RBI double, which started the Tigers' rally.
-- Scherzer retired the first nine batters he faced before he gave up a bloop single to right fielder Kole Calhoun in the fourth inning. It was a clean base hit, but Austin Jackson may have been able to make the catch in shallow center if he dove for it.
-- The Tigers scored the game's first run in the third inning when Eugenio Suarez drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on Rajai Davis' single, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Ian Kinsler's groundout to second.
-- The Tigers added an insurance run in the eighth when Mike Trout laid out for Austin Jackson's shot to center, but came up just short. Eugenio Suarez scored to make it 6-3. Jackson finished 2 for 5 for his seventh straight multi-hit game.
Tigers' lowlights
-- Scherzer appeared to hit a wall when he gave up three runs on four hits and a wild pitch in a 30-pitch fifth inning. Kole Calhoun's two-run single broke a 1-all tie. Scherzer got out of the jam by striking out Mike Trout and Josh Hamilton.
-- J.D. Martinez was scratched from the original lineup due to the minor upper quad injury he suffered Tuesday. He was available to pinch-hit. Rajai Davis got the start in left field in his place.
-- Alex Avila went 0 for 4 with a strikeout and was the only Tigers player in the starting lineup without a base hit.
Game notes
-- With runners on first and third in the fourth inning, Angels shortstop Erik Aybar tried to catch the Tigers sleeping by attempting to lay down a bunt with two outs. Instead, he popped up the first pitch he saw to help Scherzer escape the jam.
-- Trout finished 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Scherzer, and is now 3 for 15 with nine strikeouts in his career against the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner.
-- Jackson made an impressive catch at the wall in the seventh inning to take a base hit away from Calhoun, whose shot traveled an estimated 390 feet.

Economic Lives:
Over the past three decades, economic sociology has been revealing how culture shapes economic life even while economic facts affect social relationships. This work has transformed the field into a flourishing and increasingly influential discipline. No one has played a greater role in this development than Viviana Zelizer, one of the world's leading sociologists. Economic Lives synthesizes and extends her most important work to date, demonstrating the full breadth and range of her field-defining contributions in a single volume for the first time.
Economic Lives shows how shared cultural understandings and interpersonal relations shape everyday economic activities. Far from being simple responses to narrow individual incentives and preferences, economic actions emerge, persist, and are transformed by our relations to others. Distilling three decades of research, the book offers a distinctive vision of economic activity that brings out the hidden meanings and social actions behind the supposedly impersonal worlds of production, consumption, and asset transfer. Economic Lives ranges broadly from life insurance marketing, corporate ethics, household budgets, and migrant remittances to caring labor, workplace romance, baby markets, and payments for sex. These examples demonstrate an alternative approach to explaining how we manage economic activity--as well as a different way of understanding why conventional economic theory has proved incapable of predicting or responding to recent economic crises.
Providing an important perspective on the recent past and possible futures of a growing field, Economic Lives promises to be widely read and discussed.
"[T]his collection is an excellent introduction to, and summary of, [Zelizer's] impressive oeuvre, and makes a strong case for economists studying transactions within their cultural context."--Natalie Gold, Times Higher Education
"As a compilation of three decades of Zelizer's contributions to economic sociology, the book will help economists and sociologists see how the discipline has evolved over the years. For other readers, the book is a fascinating introduction to the subject."--Karunesh Tuli, Foreword Reviews
"Immensely interesting and thought-provoking--especially for academic collections and for fans of the Freakanomics series looking for meatier fare."--Library Journal
"Economic Lives reveals . . . Zelizer's brilliant craftsmanship in knitting together innovative narratives about the ceaseless interplay between money and social relations, means and meaning, objective and subjective, material and symbolic. . . . [H]er work still reigns supreme in the description and analysis of the careful economic strategies individuals anxiously deploy to find meaning and a moral ground."--Marion Fourcade, Sociological Forum
"Economic Lives is an outstanding collection by one of the most original thinkers in economic sociology. In addition to bringing together some of her most brilliant papers, Viviana Zelizer provides an integrative analysis of her work and how it relates to the thinking of others who want to understand the fundamental nature of the economy. I know of no one else who can so thoughtfully describe everything from the beginnings of the cultural turn in economic sociology to leading-edge interpretations of what is happening in capitalism today. No serious student of economic sociology will want to neglect this book."--Rakesh Khurana, Harvard Business School

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by alilou, Apr 20, 2010.
So would I.
I'd love to have a reason/excuse to fly to Vancouver!
I don't get this I would have thought there were more boys than girls (since they're more highly valued than girls) and that males would want to keep the caste system in place, or is it that there are more girls than boys now? I'm both confused and lacking knowledge.
And could you explain more about the need to compete with neighbours (India with it's geographical neighbours?)
I think you just love to discuss stuff. It's that fine intellectual mind of yours (just in case I need to say this - not being sarcastic at all, it shows in your posts/discussions on FSU)
That would be so fun. You're in China aren't you? I'd love to come to China, it's on our bucket list so we will probably show up there one of these days.
So first we have to all meet in Van (I'll be back in May), and then continue our discussion in China What fun!
So I'm in India - our at-home internet connection has been dead for a day and a half (so I'm in an internet cafe), a woman knocked on our door this morning claiming ownership of the fridge in our apartment and wanting 600 rupees a month for it , power goes off several times a day for sometimes up to 2 hours, at irregular intervals, I've had mild nausea for a week, yesterday a man in khaki shirt and pants claimed he was security for our building and wanting 50 rupees a month (which we refused to give him) and so life rolls along
We're still meditating twice a day and loving it. It helps keep us sane if nothing else
Yes, the problem is too many boys and too few girls, in both India and China, because of boy's value to society. Girls are intentionally aborted in both countries and the abandonment of baby girls has been a tragedy in China in years past.
But this is inadvertently improving girls' value and status, as they really get to pick and choose which man to marry.
What an interesting contradiction of experiences.
When are you here in May?
I hope I don't miss you, we're on holidays the first two weeks of the month.
After reading that post, I can see why meditation might be needed!
How does a "visitor" to the community differentiate between a legitimate expense and being "taken advantage of"?
Yep. I'm following your blogspot, so you should be able to see mine.
I meant that abortions have lead to more boys than girls and China has a better education system as well as a more educated population. Then thre are other established Asian economies like Souh Korea etc. If India wants to keep up it will have to educate it's population better. Also I read an trice that said some men who are depere to get married are marring women of very different backgrounds. Something that would have been unthinkable before.
Thanks Buzz and Japanfan for your explanations re the imbalance between boys and girls. I did know about the abortions/abandonments of girl babies in both India and China, but I hadn't followed through to the conclusion, so though the practice appalls me I can't be entirely upset about a situation that gives the young women in both countries a little bit more power, if only to try to choose a kind husband.
To answer your question skatesindreams - we mostly differentiate by initially refusing to pay, then checking with our friends who've lived here for many years and know the difference between prices for Indians and prices for foreigners. Also sometimes we feel we're being taken advantage of, but just let it happen anyway because it really is such a small amount of money for us. We buy a bag of groceries here for about $15 that would probably cost $40 in Vancouver. We ride home in an auto rickshaw for a dollar. We buy a bag full of vegetables for 80 cents. The fridge was a different matter though. Our friends told us when they rented the apartment for us that the landlord said the fridge was included so we just handed it all over to him. So far so good, and fingers crossed, we still have a fridge.
Angelskates I'd love to see your blog, if it's open to the general public
We're back in Vancouver May 25th and probably staying through the end of June and maybe longer. Might go to Montreal and/or Okanagan for part of the summer. After that who knows. It's all very loosey-goosey at the moment.
Sorry about my atrocious typing and spelling peps. Apparently I still have not gotten a good enough grip on my iPad typing skills.
I'm surprised you didn't tell the "security" guy that the fridge is apparently worth way more per month than he is
Well I can always figure out what you mean
Maybe I would have but the security guy came before the fridge lady. All just too funny.
What's not so funny is I have mild jaundice from taking artemisia (a herbal anti-malarial) that my liver apparently didn't like very much. It hasn't affected Mr alilou as he wasn't taking as much as me. Our friends here know a British doctor who's always here for several months at this time of year. He sussed immediately I could have liver problems and sent me to get a complete blood count and liver function test. All is normal except for the jaundice which means obviously no more artemisia ever, and no fatty or oily food for a while. I'm sure I'll be fine within about a week, but it's been 10 days of increasing nausea and headaches, and all kinds of aches and pains and low energy. And this is mild jaundice. I have a whole new sympathy for people with hepatitis. It must be hell. Anyway I'm on the mend now and looking forward to getting back to my normal energy levels pretty soon. With all the illnesses you can get in India I get an illness from something that's supposed to prevent one
Get better soon Alilou and that was scary about the people who showed up looking for money. India suddenly ounds a bit more scary now.
Sending many "feel better" wishes your way, alliou!
That just sucks, Allison. Hope you're feeling better very soon.
Thanks for all your get well wishes. I feel like I'm on the mend now.
Buzz the people who showed up demanding money weren't remotely scary. The lady who wanted money for "her" fridge was a bit abrasive but we managed to calm her down and send her way and haven't seen her since. The "security" guy was barely 3 inches taller than me and twice as skinny. I could have knocked him over with a feather. Haven't seen him since either. They just try it on and when it's clear that you really do mean no that's the end of it.
Since I'm starting to feel better i'll probably do a new blog in the next few days.
I wouldn't wish jaundice on anyone
There's a new blog post about life here in Tiruvannamalai - mongoose! swami! jaundice! rickshaw ride in a blackout! and more!
Hope you enjoy.
I think everyone can open this link now. If you can't open it please let me know.
I could only follow 4CC on FSU - no live stream for me but fabulous to read all the PBP and comments and snarking. And kwanfan1818 is recording whatever was shown on Cdn TV for me so I'll get to see some of it eventually
The above link does not work for me but the one below does. And OYYY @ that alien photograph! Thanks once again for sharing you are one lucky and brave chick!
OK, so I still need to sort out stuff with blogger re the new format. Apparently the /view/sidebar link still doesn't always work for IE. Thanks for letting me know.
Re the alien photograph at first I wondered which one you meant, but then I had another look at the pic of me and mr alilou with our buzz cuts aliens! I'd never seen it that way before. Perhaps next blog I should put in the pic where we don't have our sunglasses on. We look a bit more like normal people in that one, only with very very short hair
It's so hot here, and dusty, it was so freeing to have it all cut off.
People say I look like Sinead O'Connor
But you've been married longer than 16 days though, right?
Yeah we made it a bit longer than that.
Here is something you might be interested in reading Alliou.
Thanks for the link Buzz - very interesting article. I also read one of the related articles about the history, and the family that owns the temple. It will be interesting to see how the wealth is distributed in the end.
I've added a new blog post - walking around the mountain, Pondicherry, what we eat, garbage, and beggars
Life here in Tiruvannamalai rolls slowly along. Our days have become very slow and peaceful.
http://alisonarmstrong.blogspot.com or the link in my sig line.
(I can't wait for worlds! I will be in Bali by then and I'm thinking of getting a subscription to the ISU stream even if it is choppy - I'm experiencing FS withdrawal )
Thanks, as always for sharing.
I hope that you feel completely well, soon!
I also hope that you can get the ISU feed for Worlds.

I love that hanging wooden chair. You should bring its picture to IKEA so that they can produce it, then I'll buy it and spend the rest of my life lying on it. Thanks
I think I'm on the mend, but not 100% yet. We're off to the hospital again tomorrow for more tests. It seems more likely now that I caught some kind of virus.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get with links for worlds. I really am thinking of staying up to watch it live whatever the time is in Bali, so thanks for your offer. I'll be watching the threads but if anyone knows of any free live streaming at the beginning of each segment of the competition please please pm me
Glad you're enjoying the blog. Shaving my head - one of the best ideas I've had for a while It's so freeing.
The inner peace thing has truly been a lifelong quest, with some success I might say, but I sure still can get triggered if someone rubs me the wrong way. It feels like a deepening of it here, and in some ways getting mildly sick has been a kind of blessing as it forced me to just stop. I spend a lot of time sitting on the balcony looking at Mt Arunachala which is said to be so powerful. And in spite of the mess and mayhem if India, and inspite of not feeling well physically, I do feel very peaceful.
I love that swing chair I spend a lot of time in it
Thanks again for sharing your journey with us and how did the hospital visit go?
Read all about it in the next blog post - coming up in a few days
