A perfectly functioning automotive cooling system is what keeps your car running smoothly. If your car cooling system is out of order, your vehicle's engine would heat up, which may lead to the engine seizing up.
If you are traveling on a long route with a faulty cooling system, your car has a big chance of having a mechanical breakdown. Some parts of your engine might even melt.
If you need to get your car's cooling system checked, you should visit Universal Car Care Automotive. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to automotive cooling systems. If your radiator, coolant or any other component needs to be fixed or repaired, their motor mechanics will do it with professional expertise.
Coolant, also known as anti-freeze, is a fluid that is essential for a car's cooling system. The fluid has anti-boil properties, and it is added to the radiator to maintain the right temperature. In other words, it prevents the engine from both overheating and freezing.
A "radiator flush" is a procedure in which coolant is removed from the radiator and a new one is added. This should be done around once a year. Universal Car Care Automotive has experts in this field. If you go there for a coolant change, they will not only provide you with a good quality coolant but also check your radiator and hoses to see if there is any leak or any other problem.
Although once a year radiator flush is a general recommendation, the exact time depends on your particular vehicle, and will be written on the car manual. You can also visit Universal Car Care Automotive workshop, or call them on phone to get advice regarding coolant change.
Please visit the Universal Car Care workshop if your car's cooling system is giving you problems.
You will know this if:
• Your vehicle is overheating
• The heater in your car has stopped working
• The high temperature light is on
• The gearbox is hot to the touch
Cooling fans, whether electric or mechanical, work to circulate hot air and thus prevent your engine from heating up. The principle is the same as that of a normal fan; heat is released by the circulating air and thus engine is cooled down. If the fan, or its belt is broken or loose, the engine can overheat very quickly.
The motor mechanics at this workshop are professionals who can quickly tell if your fan needs some repair. They will also fix it with great efficiency, if needed.
If the engine is heated and you open this cap, you can get yourself burnt with the hot coolant as it will splash upwards. The cap should be taken for an inspection around once a year.
Coolant reservoir means the amount of coolant that is present in the cooling system. It is also checked by the motor mechanics when you go for an oil change.
Thermostat is required to maintain a proper temperature of the radiator. If your thermostat doesn't work, the engine may overheat and that may lead to some serious engine issues.
If your engine overheats or green fluid is leaking from the engine, it means your cooling system needs repair; and there is no better place on the Gold Coast than Universal Car Care Automotive.

Google's Voice Search on Android adds support for 13 additional languages
Even though it's also on iOS now, Android is still the first love for Google's Voice Search and the company announced today it's adding support for an additional 13 languages on the platform, bringing the total to 42 languages and accents understood in 46 countries. The list includes Basque, Bulgarian. Catalan, European Portuguese, Finnish, Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak and Swedish. Just like it has since at least 2010 when Voice Actions were introduced it will require Android 2.2 or higher, and is easily accessible either from the search box on your home screen or in the Voice Search app. We should note that it still only understands one language at a time and you may need to change some settings, also the new languages weren't showing up yet on every device we tried — just some of them. Hit the source link for a few more details on how machine learning was used to extrapolate the pronunciation of all Swedish words based on thousands of samples from native speakers, or just grab a nearby phone or tablet and have Pau Gasol speak some Catalan to it — although obviously Salvador Dali would be preferred, were he available.

It is the European Union (EU) legislative framework for investment intermediaries that provide financial services to clients in relation to financial instruments (such as shares, bonds, units in collective investment schemes and derivatives). The legislation also covers the organised trading of these financial instruments.
MiFID introduced competition to the EU trading landscape and provided a 'passport' for trading venues and investments firms to operate throughout Europe on the basis of authorisation in their home Member State. It also introduced various investor protection measures. This covers the thirty-one member states of the European Economic Area.
The MiFID reforms cover areas such as: Authorisation, regulation and passporting; Client categorisation; Client order handling; Pre-trade and post-trade transparency; Best execution; Development in market structures; OTC Derivatives and commodities; Investor protection and provision of investment services; Supervisors.

McLaren's Pain Management Center offers services to manage the full spectrum of pain. By evaluating a patient's physical, emotional and psychological needs, our Pain Management physician provides a responsive, thorough and individualized care plan. By combining innovative technologies such as floral procedures, the latest non-habit forming medications with careful examination we can create a focused treatment plan for each patient.
Pain is a natural component of the healing process following illness, injury or surgery. If it persists or is more intense than normally expected, it becomes its own 'condition' and merits treatment. If ignored, or improperly treated or diagnosed, a cycle of pain, depression and inactivity often result. The Pain Management Center believes that, with an accurate diagnosis, pain can often be eliminated or effectively managed, and quality of life vastly improved.
We believe that pain is unique to each person, so every plan of care is tailored to the patients' needs. Our Pain Management physician looks not only for a solution to immediate pain, but also for the source of the problem. At every visit, a patient consults with the physician.
The McLaren Oakland Pain Management Center offers multi-disciplinary evaluation and comprehensive outpatient treatment for a wide variety of pain syndromes including:

It's such a challenge to eat healthy on the road. Everywhere you turn, it's fast this, and this, and this. How to eat this, not that on the go.
Traveling is hard on anybody. And traveling via car has it's own challenges.
Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact
As you know, I'm traveling. It took 12 hours to get to our new home. Now we aren't moving there yet. But with my husband already down there, we wanted to go and get him settled in.
Well you can't not eat for 12 hours unless you're fasting. And yes, I've done that; but when I do that I like to drink lots of water which requires more potty breaks.
So let's eat this, not that!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Eat this, not that!
Instead of diving into the tempting fast food stops that are greasy, salty foods, there are healthier ways to eat and not feel bloated and stuffed for days to come (like you're eating the meal over again and again).
Eat This!
- Hard boiled eggs
- Peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts
- Fresh chicken, ham, turkey (you can add some fresh cheese too)
- Grapes
- Water
- Mustard, picante sauce, hot sauce
Not This!
- Sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit
- Peanut butter sandwiches
- Potato chips, salty fries
- Soda pop or juices
- Mayo and ketchup
- Eat this! – No breaded meat, green beans, broccoli, soup
- Not this! – Breaded everything, Rice, fried anything
- Eat this! – Salad with yummy toppings, Soup (no noodles), Pineapple or grapes
- Not this! – Pizza, pizza, pizza, No noodles, cinnamon rolls
You can pack a cooler, but depending on the drive time, shopping at a local grocery store along the way will make your body sing and your heart extra healthy.
Be creative. You don't have to feel deprived. Celebrate your health and wellness.
"Eat this, not that! You body will love you back."

Vote for the Leader with the Courage to have a Free People. +1 Dump Obama
Who is that going to be? It isn't Obama. He's afraid of losing his political capitol if he frees the people.
All hail the stoners who will bring back more freedom to the USA by fighting the war on drugs than any other political grouping.
Supreme Court just handed down Opinion on Redding. No punishment for Strip Search.
Strip search your 13 year old children in the public schools.
So, another weasel moment by our supreme court.
Here's what they said.
Yes, that was wrong to strip search a 13 year old, make her pull her undergarments away from her body. But, who cares. We hadn't clearly told you not to, so we won't punish you for doing it.

How the 9th Amendment Prohibits the War on Drugs, Understanding your Liberty.
How the 9th Amendment Prohibits the War on Drugs, Understanding your Liberty. The source of the 9th amendment is not in controversy.

John F. Kennedy. ^^^^^^
Every name on a list, every minute under a watchful eye, every email that is recorded, every phone call that is recorded, every dollar that is spent, every plea that is made, every effort that is taxed, none will be adequate to the task of holding down the American spirit when it is deprived of liberty for one minute too long.

Fix the site if you're going to stay up. OSTP is a joke, can't go there. Big yawn.
Install a "read" button to remove an idea one lacks interest in.
Cut off walls of text at 500 words, add a more link.
Either permit HTML or don't. Stop the embedding of videos, or provide a way to link to them with a reduce image button.
These are not difficult or mysterious upgrades.
Citizens should not be divided into classes. Middle Class is $100,000+ That you?
This is faulty thinking. Biden is a pandering sycophant anyway.

Anonymity is a foundation for political speech. But the UK has done away with it.

A Constitutuional Amendment is a terrible thing to waste. Vote up the 9th.
The 9th amendment is more than the heart of privacy in the constitution. It is the heart of individual autonomy, and adulthood.
It is the barrier to a constant creep of government into territory that belongs to the person. It is not properly ignored. It is not a legal joke.

Obama is excited about the robust debate in Iran. Mistake.
He's breaking promises faster than he made them, and this exercise in open government will be a major insult if nothing genuine comes of it.
A few new websites with pages for comment isn't going to get it.
He must answer. Or he stirs the pot and walks away. I don't think it will settle well so long as the heat is on.

Update: as of October 2018, it appears Vivino Premium is no longer available.
When "the world's largest wine marketplace" of over 32,000 wines starts offering unlimited free shipping, we listen up. Vivino just launched Vivino Premium, bringing us unlimited wine shipping for just $47 per year. That's over three times the selection of Wine.com (which caps off at 10,000 wines), Amazon Wine, or even Total Wine.
We thought, surely this is too good to be true! So, we combed the fine print for those pesky exclusions. The truth? It's pretty much as good as it sounds. There are no order minimums, so you can technically buy even one bottle at a time without having to think of filling a case. The only limits to free shipping are around bottles requiring special shipping conditions. And of course, you must live in a state where direct to consumer wine shipments are legal.
What's especially exciting about Vivino Premium is the potential it bodes for the future. Vivino has nearly 9 million scanned wines on its platform. A selection of 32,000 wines might sound large, until you realize that for Vivino, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. It's quite likely they will continue expanding their marketplace selection. The thought of hundreds of thousands of wines available for sale from one platform, let alone millions, is incredibly compelling.
This latest development also equates to more consumer freedom. Imagine never overpaying for a bottle again — you can simply whip out an app and decide whether the store has it cheaper, or you can order it from Vivino. Vivino also currently allows users to scan a wine list in a restaurant and quickly view ratings. This feature makes it easy to purchase bottles that you enjoyed at restaurants, without having to search for a different retailer every time.
Unsure about Vivino Premium? You can try it free for 30 days by visiting Vivino.com. The program also gives members access to up to 50% off of curated deals. And no, we're not being paid by Vivino, we just love it and think it has the most comprehensive wine database out there.

"You think that 15% of the IMEP is absorbed in sidethrust on the pistons? Don't think so, most of the FMEP is piston rings."
Well, unfortunately this is not true ... But so far people have thought so ... If you liked playing with a calculator, which I published a few posts above, then you probably already knew how much the reaction of the piston to the cylinder ... Publishes again with my setting value, and clearly see that this force reaches even 30% of the value of the force giving the torque .. derived from the combustion of fuel .. Contrary to appearances, the force of pressure on the piston ring piston is small compared to this force, because it is in the pressure of relatively the small force coming from the bending of the piston ring, which, as you probably know, we can easily squeeze with fingers ... ..... So that the force in comparison to the force of lateral force is many times smaller, if the engine performs heavy work .. And is independent of the load of the engine, it has practically constant value ... independent of the engine load.

Principle of operation of a 6 cylinder engine with a crosshead, Watt type, Peaucelier or Feliks line crosshead .. So what gives us ... no friction piston by cylinder, so we can give up the oil for lubrication (oil pumps too), and gives 15% torque increase. Possibility of excellent cooling of the pistons with water, which will increase the compression ratio by 2 units. this is the next 10% .. Well, ecology, no oil burning, and less NOx, because in the chamber lower temperature ..
And the lack of crankshaft, because one crank with the connecting rod is hardly called a shaft ... if the engine has 16 cylinders .. :rolleyes:

5:25am 04-18-2018
It's best to see in such a drawing .. so dead force can only give one's place on the casing in one place ... only pivot is in the place, which gives very little resistance to movement on a flat plane .. an element loaded with this force ..
8:04pm 04-15-2018
Here are a few more alternatives..
Such animation, so that we know what we are talking about ..
Well, here's the crosshead but it's applied to my new 4 stroke ... we gain a lot ... for my experience with this engine, we now get 1 liter capacity of the main piston, about 300 hp at 5000 rpm.
Of course without NOx, because the pistons will be cooled with water ..
Well, that's what to fight for ...
8:03pm 04-15-2018
And nowadays, how to design an engine that will save 10% of fuel in the ship's engine, because there is no friction in its traditional crosschead, then here you can see and count how much it can be ...
8:03pm 04-15-2018
Which to use?
This is a good question ..
With a new construction a lot of unknowns ... here is one but also a new 3 ways to connect the connecting rod ..
And not only the mathematics of movement, but now all force must be determined ...
A lot of work for sure ..
I wonder where this side force acting in the crosshead has died?

Historical notes
Sylvester (Collected Works, Vol. 3, Paper 2) writes that when he showed a model to Kelvin, he "nursed it as if it had been his own child, and when a motion was made to relieve him of it, replied 'No! I have not had nearly enough of it—it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.'"
Which of these three mechanisms to use ... and here the magnitude of the lateral force on the piston in the C-spot ... as you can see on 1/3 of the torque it achieves .. THEREFULLY IT WILL NOT BE HERE ... :clap:
9:12am 04-11-2018
Does not this remind you of the mechanics drawn by James Watt ? But it's necessary to back 250 years back ..
Hand-drawn diagram by James Watt explaining his discovery of the "parallel motion" in a letter to his Sohn: "The idea originated in this manner. On finding double chains, or racks and sectors, very inconvenient for communicating the motion of the piston-rod to the angulat motion of the working-beam, I set to work to try if I could not contrieve some means of performing the same form motions turning upon centres, and after some time it occured to me that AB, CD, being two equal radii revolving on the centres B and C, and connected together by a rod AD, in moving through arches of certain length, the variations from straight line would be nearly equal and opposite, and that the point E would describe a line nearly straight, and that if for convenice the radius CD was only half of AB, by moving the point E nearer to D, the same would take place; and from this the construction, afterwards called the parallel motion was derived."
Of course, instead of a rope, you can use any type of parallel movement mechanism.
And of course, it's getting higher and higher speed after that ...
So this Wats is not bad anymore .. but this string can have such a form of springs from the watch's bannister .. and then it is the simplest solution and guaranteeing higher revolutions .. obviously the ideal is Peaucellier-Lipkin, but also is the most complicated .. But after some analysis, to which the arms attach to the connecting rod, i.e. which carries the main forces, the rest may not have to be a monstrous size ..
In any case, the use of a traditional crosshead certainly became archaism ... because with the use of any of these solutions, the side force on the crowd does not occur, and was not moved below, to crosshedas, and was liquidated at all ..
Also from my drawing you can see that a very easy way we can do cooling with the water of the piston ..
This can give us, due to its very low temperature, a change to Teflon efflorescence and one would be tempted to completely give up the oil.
And this is a very important matter, which allows us this construction, so it seems to me that maybe you can do practically this matter and try some teflon bearings and seals
Here is the animation of THE PEAUCELLIER-LIPKIN LINKAGE which is automatically downloaded
Normal position engine crosshead Peaucellier-Lipkin :rolleyes:
2:43am 04-10-2018
So I continued to divide the hair into four...
Yes, we slowly develop this way of bypassing the lateral force of the piston .. here, that's all you have to do is one lever that has a half-ring at the end, but the other way round. This way one pulls up and the other down during the movement of the lever ... It can be used for a full four-stroke engine .. Well, see how easy we can cool the water piston ..
2:44am 03-28-2018
Nice video, and at the end you can see how fast it can turn...
7:09pm 02-18-2018
A traditional crosshead, usually unbalanced, to save a little on the construction .. But for this, when the command "whole back" is taken for the ship's engine, only 60% of the power can actually be used, because of this unsymmetrical crosshead, which can not withstand greater load, in the reverse than usual turnover.
In my solution, it does not matter which engine the engine is on, so "the whole back" can actually be "all", i.e. 100% ..
But in my solution, it may be asymmetrically, for the same reason as in the traditional one, it means that the piston is pressed down all the time, if not by the work stroke, then by the compression stroke ... (of course, it is 2 stroke ) .. Therefore, the second lower frame, can be "symbolic" and the thin line, just to keep the kinematic bond in some abnormal situations.
Of course, all this new mechanism can be in a separate housing, separating the oiled space, from the space under the piston, which can be cooled water ..
Developing further ideas for smaller engines, instead of a rope, we can use a toothed belt, whose durability is known from the mechanisms of timing ..
But the revolutions can be a little bigger ..
http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/821500.pdf Here is a handbook, but it is very long uploading, because 35 MB .. On the 74 page, such a two-stroke engine, whose piston pin, is a ball, which moves only pressure from above in a pristine way ..

A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Citrus Bioflavanoid Blend in the Treatment of Senile Purpura
July 2011 | Volume 10 | Issue 7 | Original Article | 718 | Copyright © 2011
Background: Senile purpura is a common, chronic skin condition affecting more than 10 percent of individuals over the age of 50.
Despite being a benign condition, the continual development of purpura lesions in afflicted patients is frequently a source of significant
visual and social concern. To date, there are no known effective treatments for this condition.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a novel nutraceutical citrus bioflavonoid blend in improving the skin's appearance in patients with senile purpura.
Methods: A six-week, randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was conducted to determine whether a uniquely formulated, oral citrus bioflavonoid supplement could treat active lesions of senile purpura while preventing new lesions from arising. Seventy patients with senile purpura were enrolled and 67 completed the study. Subjects were randomized into two groups receiving either a citrus bioflavonoid blend or placebo medication, which was taken orally twice daily for six weeks. Clinical evaluations were performed by blinded investigators at two locations.
Results: A statistically significant reduction in the number of new purpura lesions in the skin area undergoing clinical study was documented. At the end of six weeks, the citrus bioflavonoid blend treated group showed a 50 percent reduction in purpura lesions from baseline. Patient self-assessment of the effectiveness of the medication echoed the results of an investigator global assessment with a statistically significant improvement in the skin's appearance noted by the patients receiving the active medication. No adverse effects were noted by either the patients or investigators.
Conclusion: This new treatment appears to both safely and effectively diminish skin bruising in patients with senile purpura.

Senile or actinic purpura was originally described by Bateman in 1817.1 In his original treatise, the morphology of purpura was described as dark purple blotches of an irregular form and various magnitude. Although this original description still remains true, a treatment for this problem has remained elusive for nearly two centuries. It has been estimated that up to 11.9 percent of people over the age of 50 are afflicted with senile purpura.2 The condition appears to be more prevalent with increasing age as a recent study found senile purpura in 29.3 percent of elderly patients examined in a longterm care facility.3 Despite the fact that there are no long-term health sequelae associated with senile purpura (SP), the lesions are often cosmetically disturbing to patients as they tend to occur in visible areas of the body, such as the extensor surfaces of the forearms, legs and hands. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of a novel citrus bioflavonoid blend (CBB) as a potential treatment for SP
Study Design
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind vehicle-controlled study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a proprietary CBB relative to a placebo in the treatment of SP when administered daily for six weeks. The study was approved by the institutional review board of Concordia Clinical Research. Thirty-two male and thirty-eight female participants

Good Friday was a long day for the missionaries, but one filled with many graces. We walked alongside Christ at a living stations of the cross through Little Mexico, involved St. Bart's teens in our door-to-door mission efforts, served the homeless at a nearby soup kitchen, participated in the celebration of Our Lord's Passion at the parish, and watched the Passion of the Christ.
The living stations were a very powerful experience for many, bringing to life the story we've all heard a thousand times. The young man playing the part of Jesus actually carried his own enormous cross 12 blocks and was whipped along the way.
Even with my ankle being in the state it is, I couldn't stand to miss this opportunity. At first I just hoped to keep up with the massive crowd, but I soon found a way to have a great view without putting my ankle in too much danger. I ended up just feet away from Jesus, actually walking right in step with his disciples. Coincidence? I think not.
Meeting back up with our group after the stations finished was a feat, and after a long ride home in traffic, all of us exhausted and hungry missionaries arrived back "home" to St. Bart's for lunch. We walked downstairs to get our food and to our surprise, we saw 35 teens from the parish waiting to do mission work with us! We had only expected a few to show, if any, so this was a shock and challenge for everybody.
Immediately, the missionaries were introducing themselves to them and explaining the basics of door-to-door missions. Before long, 45 Mission Youth t-shirts spread out through the neighborhood and 11 more piled into cars to go to a local soup kitchen. The results of both were impressive. The teens had a unique experience of their faith which they really enjoyed and the soup kitchen goers made some new homeless friends.
After a moving veneration of the cross and some hilarious shenanigans, the missionaries settled down to watch the Passion of the Christ, some for the first time ever.
When the missionaries shared today what their most memorable Holy Week was, one said, "This year. Before, I just went to the stuff at church but now I know why and I actually really want to do it. It just means a lot more now."

I hope today my children will be more loving and obedient. I talk to my God about this as I laid my head down to sleep last night.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one in another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; verse 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.
I know my God directed me to these scriptures this morning. I loved my job as a mother would not trade it for any other occupation but some days you just want to run away for a few hours. I believe to be a successful mother is continue prayer and you need patience. In my personal devotion today this really was like BOND letters to me.
Today's Pray Read: For God to give all members of your family the desire to serve one another and that they would feel no compulsion to compete to be the "first in line."

Snippets of beauty
While taking photos of my recent sewing projects (see my last post), I could not resist capturing some of the beauty of our local nature preserve. The evening was quiet and cool, and the sun was setting in all of its glory by the time we left.
We started out in the woods...
We continued down to the beach...
The beauty of the woods at this time of year is breathtaking in its subtle colors and tones. The Lord is so good to give us such beauty in the world around us!

An interesting feature just upslope from the site is the tree-lined boundary that squares off the eastern side. (I represented this with faded green lines in the map.) Is this an artifact of the historical mission boundary? Someone could hike up to this feature to check out the age of the trees.

Musings: Distracted
I found myself lost, distracted, and not focusing on the right things. And yes, I did just quote a non-SF Giants manager.
That being said, I realized (a long time ago) I spend way too much time on my phone and more importantly on all of my Social Media (SM) accounts. I will be the first person to admit that too you, I don't ever hide it. In fact, if you hid(e) me, deleted me, or blocked me…I wouldn't even blame you. We tend to keep people in our SM feeds out of obligation (friend or family), even though we don't want too. If you don't want to follow me, then don't. My feelings aren't hurt, hell I probably wouldn't even notice! I would/will post regardless of the number of followers I have or don't have.
I noticed my SM behaviors were leading to less than positive thoughts and mind space. We have so much access to peoples lives, people we know and don't know, that if you allow yourself to compare, wonder, or snoop (yeah, if you say you don't do this, you are a liar) then you are probably leading yourself down a destructive path. I wasn't on that path necessarily, but I also wasn't growing as a person or doing anything beneficial for myself by being on it all the time.
Sadly, I'll admit. I literally had to log myself out of all three accounts – Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Out of pure habit, I'd reach for my phone when I was bored and hit an app. Only to be reminded that I was taking a break from SM. At first it started with just the weekend, but then I decided to just keep going for the week. I also didn't blog last week either, it was hard. I had plenty of things I wanted to write about, but I wanted to keep my narcissist ways in check for the week.
I tried to be more present. I tried to leave my phone in my purse for most of the time I was out of the house. At home, I just left it wherever. I didn't reach for it all the time. However, when I found myself with bouts of boredom, I did reach to play Subway Surfer. So now I have a bazillion coins, but no SM posts.
You know it's bad when….you go off SM for a few days and people notice. No one outright mentioned it, but it was brought up a few times by a few friends. Eye opener for me.
After a few days I didn't really care about it anymore. I did attend a fundraiser event that I would have loved to have posted about, just to keep the awareness going for the event. But I didn't. I realized, I wasn't running around taking pics to post, but really living in the moment. Playing like a kid and interacting with everyone, it was a great feeling.
It really hit me how, sad/pathetic/whatever-word-you-want-to-use that my time is consumed by SM. I'm sure it's hard to believe, but I don't feel like I post stuff to just get likes. I just like sharing my life – the highlights, if you will. I like the outlet to share pics I snapped or repost something funny or whatever I deem interesting. You hitting 'like' or tapping the heart does not validate me in anyway. It means you may have liked what I posted, or felt obligated too, but I don't think I'm a better or worse human for posting something that I like or want to share.
Yes, I don't tend too pour (some will disagree) my heart out on SM, but I do put a lot out there. I don't think there is anything wrong with being that open, but after taking a step back it might not be the best thing for me. In general I don't mind it, but in all realness…no one really cares that much about what's going on in my life. For those that genuinely do, I'm forever grateful.
SM has opened my eyes to some cool new people and things I'd never have experienced if I wasn't so open to interacting with others on it. Being a race ambassador. Meeting new people, learning new perspectives, and taking in what they have to say via various blogs – lifestyle and/or running. I wouldn't be so inclined to try recipes in the kitchen (I say this sparingly, be easy). I wouldn't have found the courage to put my voice out there, no matter what the subject is, and let my written voice speak.
This past weekend, I did log back on and post for Father's Day. Poppa Bear is so deserving of a post. And so are a few of the other men in my life! But, as I was logging back in to all of my accounts I saw myself slip back into my old habits. It made me think of one of my slightly recent blog posts about being an abstainer or not. I have a feeling with SM, I will have to keep myself logged out of the accounts until I want to post something. Sounds a little crazy right…almost like an addiction. Maybe I do have a slight form of it, not to downplay those with real addictions.
I don't want to waste precious minutes looking through feeds that don't benefit me in any positive way or help grow. That may be a little hippie in thought, but I still find it ever true. I don't want to be that girl that is always on her phone. I have no qualm with being the girl who always wants to take pictures, though! I realize I'll miss come cool stuff from family and friends, which I genuinely do want to see.
I'm almost annoyed at how conflicted I am with SM. It shouldn't take up this much mind space or time in my life, but it does. Does that make me pathetic, maybe? Am I honest about it, yes. Am I working to change it, yes. In the end, that's all I can ever do, is just work to be the best version of me. Maybe the open version of me is Me. Maybe it's not. I'm willing to to take the time to figure it out.
I took my musings to a whole other level of randomness today…

You aren't the only one with this type of struggle. I think as marketing people, it's pretty common to embrace social media. It is such a great tool to connect with people you would normally not have access to. It's funny you posted this, I found your blog through your IG profile and I would never have found it if I hadn't read your profile. Not too long ago, I mentioned to my sister that although we never really got a chance to get to know each other after reading your blog I noticed how much we have in common. We're the same age, grew up in Sacramento, your related to my brother-in-law, we both do marketing for a living, I've also been driving my car forever (since 2002) and in need a new car ASAP and much like you I'm a huge lover of social media. Since I use social as part of my job I see the value in it as a marketing tool but also as a communication channel for connecting to people and building a network that you wouldn't normally have access to (like on Twitter and LinkedIn). It's a great way to be creative and/or collaborate (Pinterest, IG, Tumblr, Vine, YouTube) and to connect with people you know (Facebook and Snapchat). I mean the list can go on. BUT I also see the downside like you where it consumes so much time having to keep up with everything and getting caught up in comparing yourself to others (I find myself doing that) or you withness the drama that often happens between friends and family because of lack of context or people not agreeing with your opinion and even the horrible trolling but I think that with anything there is always going to be a negative aspect and you just have to find a good medium or way to filter out the negativity. I notice everyone uses social media differently. I know I often get teased about always taking food pics, live tweeting while watching shows or checking in to places all the time but for me that's what I like to do and I have adopted the reality that if people don't like it they can clearly ignore me or unfriend me. My husband does social media for a living and he rarely shares anything personal on his channels but he is always on Twitter joining in chats, networking with other community managers and recruiters and joining in conversations constantly. So you have to do what works for you. Either way, the point of me making a comment on your blog was to tell you that NO, you are not pathetic to feel torn about social media. Hope you can figure out what makes you happy AND happy blogging/posting!
Musings of a Girly Tomboy
Hiiiii Ambriss! Thanks for stopping by! I love what you've written, it speaks to me wholeheartedly. I wish I used SM more in my position, but I'm more B2B (that doesn't use SM), but I do follow it to stay relevant on specific topics and trends. I do love it for those reasons too. Isn't life weird? We have so many things in common and didn't live far from each other growing up, but our paths never crossed. I'm glad our families are now joined and I hope I get to hang out with you more, your fam has been amazing to my cousin! HAHA, we BOTH get teased for the same things…my Yelping antics spurred my pic and checking-in habits 🙂 Thanks for the reply and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my (random) blog. xoxo, ganeeban

At the circus
Today my three children underwent one of life's most important rites of passage. An experience that marks a human life forever. A moment that divides a child's life into Before and After. A sacred, solemn, irreversible ritual. A trial of courage and virtue and strength of heart. A transition from the age of innocence to the age of wisdom and understanding and the fear of the Lord. I am referring, of course, to the circus. For today – I record this so the date will never be forgotten – my children went to the circus.
It all started innocently enough. It was a hot day, and they had gone out for ice cream with their grandmother. Driving down the main highway, they saw rising up in the distance the great tent, big as a mountain, bright as sunrise, gleaming beneath golden spires and billowing flags, solitary and immaculate amid the wild debris of cages and cars and caravans, a giant pinned to the earth by quivering ropes, smiling madly with that cavernous black maw while the people stood nervously all in line and the one-eyed man by the ticket stand muttered prophecies thick with Russian and rum, casting secretive sideways glances at the wisecracking monkey on his shoulder. That is how, an hour later, my three defenceless children found themselves seated ringside, wide-eyed, beside their grandmother, gripping their seats with joy, as the jugglers hurled knives and the boys swallowed fire and the gymnast danced on the rolling globe and the sparkling trapeze artists flung themselves through space like falling stars.
The circus – that institution of joy, that spectacle of ecumenism, that tent of democracy, that circle of sobornost, that festive assemblage of man and beast, sensuality and austerity, laughter and terror, life and death – the circus: is it not one of the great enduring signs of humanity in a world grown bloodless, inhuman, and cold? In a world ruled by the Machine, does not the circus maintain its raucous witness to the joy of Life? In a world ruled by Work, does not the circus uphold the true doctrine of the primacy of Play? In a world ruled by Death, does not the circus proclaim the happy gospel of death's defeat?
It's intriguing to note that some of the most imaginative theologians of recent times have found particular spiritual significance in the circus. Henri Nouwen had a deep attachment to the circus. He likened Christ's followers to clowns – "he who is called to be a minister is called to be a clown". He was spellbound by a German trapeze troupe and followed them from place to place until he had befriended them. Eventually they even let him practise the trapeze himself. Watching the trapeze artists, he said, taught him all he needed to know about the way trust conquers fear. He wrote a book about "clowning", and, in his later years, hoped to write a book on the spirituality of the trapeze – though he never lived to do it.
The lay theologian William Stringfellow had an even deeper obsession with the circus. He compared the circus to the kingdom of God, and argued that the church would be more faithful if it were less like a religious institution and more like a circus. "Biblical people, like circus folk, live typically as sojourners, interrupting time, with few possessions, and in tents, in this world." Like Nouwen, Stringfellow thought the circus exemplified a Christian vision of Christ's triumph over the fear of death. The circus ridicules death, and so becomes a parable of the coming kingdom: "In the circus, humans are represented as freed from consignment to death. There one person walks on a wire fifty feet above the ground, … another hangs in the air by the heels, one upholds twelve in a human pyramid, another is shot from a cannon. The circus performer is the image of the eschatological person – emancipated from frailty and inhibition, exhilarant, transcendent over death – neither confined nor conformed by the fear of death any more…. The service the circus does – more so, I regret to say, than the churches do – is to portray openly, dramatically, and humanly ... death in the midst of life. The circus is eschatological parable and social parody: it signals a transcendence of the power of death, which exposes this world as it truly is while it pioneers the Kingdom."
Stringfellow filled his home with circus memorabilia. He subscribed to circus magazines. He spent an entire summer – it was the high-point of his life – travelling from town to town with the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus, until he had blended imperceptibly with the rest of that caravan of prophets, fools, and dreamers. As a popular itinerant lecturer, he used to plan his speaking schedule around circus routes. When asked how often he attended the circus, he once replied: "Not often. About twenty times a year." Stringfellow always planned to write a full-blown theology of the circus – though, like Nouwen, he died before ever completing that great piece of intellectual clowning. During a long illness, he built a huge scale model of the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus. And when he died, they played circus music at his funeral. (A collection of Stringfellow's writings on the circus can be downloaded as a free pamphlet.) The parallels between Nouwen and Stringfellow are extremely striking. Both possessed by a boundless love of the circus, both homosexual in orientation, both committed to living in community, both privileging Christian practice over theory, both turning their backs on academic prestige to live among the poor, both developing quirky autobiographical styles of theology, both dying before they could write their theological treatises on the circus.
And think for a moment of the desert fathers and mothers, those Christian ascetics who took to the deserts of Egypt and Syria in the third and fourth centuries. You could make a strong case that the desert fathers and mothers were really just a motley crew of wandering circus performers. Half-deranged spiritual clowns dressed in rags, poking fun at worldly wealth and power. Ascetic trapeze artists performing their reckless feats atop high columns. Lonely hermits taming the wild beasts as a sign of creation made new. Contemplative acrobats ascending the rungs of their interior ladders while the world looked on, breathless with suspense. Rejoicing clownlike even in sorrow, they renounced the whole wide world as a solemn witness to life and a gigantic joke against death and the devil.
Today as my children swayed in their seats, clutching their hot dogs for dear life, gazing up into the mighty vault of the Big Top while the fearless liturgy spun its circle high above them, I wonder if they heard distant echoes of another performance, another time and place where weary souls drag themselves in from the dust and heat and huddle in a circle, scared and hopeful, hardly believing their eyes and ears when a clownish figure lifts bread and wine like a juggler and bellows out the great joke that is the exhilarating, momentous, stupendously funny secret at the heart of the universe: "Christ is risen!"

FCUM travel arrangements
We are now taking bookings for coach travel to the away match against FC United of Manchester (?FCUM?) on 22 July.
The match is a return game following our 1-0 win in FCUM?s second-ever game, watched by 3,301 people at Kingsmeadow last July. Like last season, the game has the Supporters? Direct Trust cup at stake and FCUM will be very keen to take it from us in front of their own fans. It is likely to be a close game as, since our win last July, FCUM have gone from strength to strength and ran out clear winners of the North West Counties Division 2, with 87 points from 36 games.
This will be the first trip to Gigg Lane by a Wimbledon team since May 1983, when a 3-1 win saw us complete the double over Bury on our way to the Division 4 championship title. Since then Gigg Lane has undergone a transformation and is now an 11,000 all-seater stadium. Some of the seats still carry our fans? names because, following an appeal for support from across the country, AFC Wimbledon fans led the way in supporting Bury by sponsoring seats.
We are keen to make it as easy as possible for our fans to get to our first long-distance away game for many years. Therefore, we have made the following arrangements:
Coaches will leave from:
. the Woodman at 7.45 am
. Kingsmeadow at 8.00 am
expecting to arrive at about 1.30 pm.
The coaches will be leaving immediately after the game and expect to get back at about 10.00 pm. There will be a short (20 ? 30 minute) stop in the journey each way.
Prices are:
Adults £22
Concessions £16
Tickets can be bought by calling the credit card hotline on 020 8547 3528 between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm on weekdays. Please remember there is a £1.50 charge per transaction.
You can also apply by post, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a cheque made out to AFC Wimbledon, or by calling into the office between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm on a weekday.

Fascinating. The Fifth Doctor finds himself facing off with a terrifying 21st century Who adversary in 16th century Rome.
This is a very cleverly written story that bridges old Who and new. The Fifth Doctor is himself through and through in every scene, in the way he tackles problems with a "kettle and a ball of string" approach, using his wits, compassion, available resources, and ability to run. But the situation he's facing is something that Matt Smith might've encountered.
Doctor: Oh dear. I suppose I'd better… Hat. Door. Rescue!
For one thing, he's got a young couple on their honeymoon to look after. His initial reaction to them, in light of his future self, made me chortle. Gaby and Joel don't have much time to establish their characters in a one-hour format, but they're sensible temporary companions whose frank commentary about the madman they've encountered adds humour to what otherwise might be a very bleak and nightmarish story.
And yes, the angels are properly nightmarish. I confess I haven't seen a single Weeping Angel episode on TV yet, but this audio made absolutely clear why fandom has found them one of the more terrifying monsters to come out of new Who. Big Finish is an old hand at conveying what's going on solely through the audio medium, so it was no problem to get across what was happening through sound alone.
Because they're ten times scarier when you can't see where they are. Mwah.
It's a good story. It's fast-paced, lively, and a little more superficial than the Main Range 4-parters which have two full hours to flesh out side characters, multiple plotlines and themes. This condensed style of storytelling is more like new Who. Dare I call it a hybrid of the two?
It's a fun introduction to the Fifth Doctor for new fans who may never have encountered him outside Time Crash, and a spooky introduction to the Weeping Angels for those of us who haven't caught up on the new show. I'm looking forward to the rest of this collection.
(Although I still don't understand why the Sontarans are included in a "new monsters" collection.)
Rating - 8/10
Classic Doctors, New Monsters 1
Writer: Phil Mulryne | Director: Barnaby Edwards | Released: July 2016
Spoilerific Comments
In some ways, having less familiarity with the Weeping Angels than most listeners added a bit more angst to this story for me. When the Doctor said he was "so, so sorry" to that young couple in the future, I was afraid he was having to send them to their deaths to avoid a temporal paradox. I kept expecting one or both of them to sacrifice themselves. They lost their future, but at least they didn't lose their lives. Joel got the better of the deal, really; as a history professor, he was literally in his element, whereas Gaby's no longer going to be able to do much of her chosen profession (especially with the limited opportunities available in the past). I hope Michelangelo puts in a good word for them.
The idea of having Michelangelo carving a weeping angel that's trying to eat his future is, of course, a brilliant idea.
I'm glad the Fifth Doctor didn't have to say that… phrase. Poof and ping notwithstanding, he has his dignity to consider.
TL;DR version of this audio:
No canoodling on classic Who, rememember?
In this audio, the Fifth Doctor is traveling alone, and there's no clues to suggest when in his timeline this is. Big Finish has established several moments when he's off on his own. I'm most inclined to put it after Arc of Infinity while Nyssa and Tegan are in Amsterdam, although it could just as easily be during his bug disposal run at the end of Frontios. But he's dashing about in good spirits here, which (thanks to Big Finish tragedies and the darker tone of Season 21) would suggest earlier rather than later in his career.

5 Smart Guidelines to help you Select the best Office Movers
There are many things that can wrong having an office move, or otherwise result in the move project manager acquiring time, extra stress, and further work.
Fortunately, you will find actions you can take to cut back the negative effects of your looming office move while increasing your chances that it's going to go off smoothly. Early planning is one – the quicker you start, the more time you'll have to be thorough, and the more thorough you're, the better organized your move is going to be.
Another important element of one's office relocation will be the quality and caliber from the movers you decide on. Their skill, knowledge, expertise, and professionalism (or insufficient these) can often make the distinction between a prosperous move and something that turns out to be a nightmare.
If you would like to hire furniture movers in the near future, these guidelines can help you pick the right company for your requirements:
One: Don't be overly influenced by price.
Your budget is essential, certainly, however in some cases the most affordable mover simply the best mover. A minimal budget company that shows up 4 hours late and breaks three pieces of furniture isn't going to can you any favors, and the $200 you saved hiring them will quickly look like chump alter the minute the budget guys start causing you problems.
Two: Check around for references.
This is where social media can definitely prove useful. Post a question in your friends and colleagues asking them to suggest companies to prevent or companies to look at. If you're already considering a specific movers, inquire if other people provides them.
Three: Ask the office movers plenty of questions.
Before you sign on the dotted line, ask questions concerning the company's licensing, insurance, years of experience, the way they hire crew members, the way they develop quotes, the way they resolve problems, etc. The answers – or insufficient them – will help you obtain a better sense of the overall quality of the company under consideration.
Four: Research online.
Once you've reduced your list, hop on the web and look into the companies' reviews on the search engines or Yelp, their Eee standing, and so forth. You might also ask the movers to get a set of references, or check if there is a set of their past customers online. Call the office managers of a few of those companies and find out if they're ready to share their experiences along with you.
Five: Ask the treating of both your current building and the building you're stepping into for suggestions.
In many cases, the property management company has "seen it all" over time: Tenants who've had successful moves, and tenants who've had bad moves. They own some surprising insights about who you should demand a quote and who you should avoid. Basically, the property manager may at least have the ability to let you know which movers names they start to see the most regularly.

1. The only question for consideration in this case is whether the mother's sister's son or the maternal uncle's son is the preferential heir to the estate of a deceased Hindu. The matter is involved in considerable obscurity and no clear pronouncement can be gathered from the texts of the Hindu Law. The commentators are also mostly silent upon the subject. The well-known text, cited as that of Vriddha Satatapa or sometimes that of Baudhayana, divides bandhus into three classes, namely Atmabandhus, Pitribandhus and Matribandhus. The Mitakshara is explicit that these three classes succeed in the order in which they are named; see Mitakshara, Ch. II, Section 6, PI. 2. And the Privy Council accepting the decision of this Court in Muthuswami v. Muthukumaraswami (1892) I.L.R. 16 M. 23 at 30 has approved of this order in Muthusami Mudaliar v. Simambedu Muthukumarasawmi Mudaliar (1896) I.L.R. 19 M. 405 (P.C.). The question of the order of succession of the three classes of bandhus being thus settled, the further question arises as to the order of succession inter se of the bandhus comprised in each class. The maternal uncle's son and the mother's sister's son are both expressly named in the class Atmabandhus. But there is no indication in the Mitakshara, unless the order in which they are placed is such an indication, as to their respective priority. Mr. Mayne observes in Section 579 : "Perhaps the order of enumeration is not intended to convey any right of precedence." The Smirithi Chandrika, which is the next best authority after the Mitakshara in Southern India, before giving the list of nine bandhus quoting the same text of Vriddha Satatapa, says in Ch. XI, Section 5, PL 13 : "Cognate kindred. A description of these is given as follows in a different Smrithi according to their order of relationship." The learned translator in his summary at the end of the section gives the 24th place to the son of the mother's sister and the 25th to the son of the maternal uncle, thus recognising the order in which bandhus are named as indicating the order of succession. The Sarasvati Vilasa which is also a recognised authority in Southern India says in PL 595 : " The bandhus are exhibited in another law code in the order of their greater propinquity" and proceeds to quote the same text of Vriddha Satatapa which names the maternal aunt's son before the maternal uncle's son amongst Atmabandhus. It is strange, however, that, though there is a discussion and a decision in Placita 597 and 598 as to the precedence of Atmabandhus over Pitribandhus and of the latter over Matribandhus, there is none as to the order amongst the bandhus of each class. Again in the Vyavahara Mayuka which is an authority in the Mitakshara School, though of special value only in the Presidency of Bombay, it is stated, after citing the text of Vriddha Satatapa : " Here i.e., (among these) the order of succession is that stated in the text." Mr. Mandlik adds a note that this order applies to the three classes as well as to the several members of these classes. These are the only references that we have been able to find on the question of the order of succession among the bandhus of each class. There is, of course, the circumstance that the text of the ancient law giver, whoever he was, has named the mother's sister's son before the maternal uncle's son. There is a rule of the Mimamsa that effect should be given to the order in which persons and things are named unless the sense requires a different order; see Jayminia Nyayamala Ch. V, Adhikarana 4. In the absence of any decisive principle dictating a different order the duty of the interpreter of the law is to accept the order in which they are named as based upon some rule which they may be unable to discover or upon the mere ipsi dixit of the law-giver. The three commentaries that have been referred to, viz., the Smrithi Chandrika, the Sarasvati Vilasa and the Vyavahara Mayuka have stated no reason for placing the mother's sister's son before the maternal uncle's son. We cannot accede to the suggestion that the exigencies of metre may have dictated the order. It may not be difficult to speculate and suggest a reason as it was attempted to be done by Mr. Ramachandra Aiyar that the mother's sister's son offers oblations to the same three maternal ancestors to whom the deceased himself offers, while the maternal uncle's son in offering oblations to his three paternal ancestors, offers only to two who are common to himself and the deceased. To this it may be answered that the offerings of the maternal uncle's son are superior because they are offered to paternal ancestors while those that are offered by the mother's sister's son are offered to maternal ancestors. It may also be on the theory of propinquity which is the guiding principle in determining the order of succession according to the Mitakshara School the mother's sister's son is to be deemed to be nearer than the mother's brother's son, for while custom sanctions the marriage of the mother's brother's daughter it has not countenanced the marriage of the mother's sister's daughter. But we cannot regard such speculation as the above as a basis for judicial decisions, for the logical application of such theories is sure to land us in difficulties from which it will be impossible to escape.
2. Among the English text writers on the Hindu Law, WEST and Buhler in Vol. I p. 134 say: " The rule as to nine specified bandhus may be expressed thus. A man's own bandhus are the sons of his own paternal aunt and of his maternal aunt and uncle. The same relatives of his father are his bandhus. The same relatives of his mother are her bandhus. They succeed in the order in which they have been enumerated. "There can be no doubt that the order of succession referred to is in relation to the nine specified bandhus. Golap Chandra Sirkar Sastri lays down three rules as governing cases of competition between bandhus.
(1) The nearer in degree on whichever side is to be preferred to one more remote.
(2) Of those equal in degree one related on the father's side is to be preferred to one related in the mother's side.
(3) When the side is the same the circumstance of one being related to a male and another to a female makes no difference." Applying the last of these rules to the present case it is difficult to say in whose favor the author would decide the priority–the mother's sister's son or the maternal uncle's son. Perhaps there being no inferiority in consequence of his mother's sex, the author might accept the order in which the mother's sister's son is named as determining his precedence. Two other well-known writers on the Hindu Law, namely BATTACHarya (at p. 460) and Sarvadhicari (at pp.700 and 761) have given precedence to the maternal uncle's son over the mother's sister's son. They have both elaborately discussed the principles determining the order of succession among bandhus. But their views have been strongly criticised by Mr. Golap Chandra Sirkar (pp. 48-54 and 65-76). One obvious criticism of the views of these eminent writers is that they conflict with the explicit pronouncement of the Mitakshara that all Pitribandhus are postponed to the Atmabandhus. Both according to SarvadhiCari and BhaTTACharya, the paternal grandfather's sister's son and the sister's son of even more distant paternal ancestors would come in before the Atmabandhus ex parte materna. It is also to be remembered that the theory of the religious of oblations has colored their judgment in a matter which falls to be determined under the Mitakshara principle of propinquity. The theory of spiritual oblation has really no place in the Mitakshara scheme of succession.
3. The definition of Sapinda in the Acharakanda of the Mitakshara entirely repudiates the notion of connection by spiritual offerings. It is also expressly there stated: "Wherever the term Sapinda is used there, directly or mediately, connection with parts of one body is to be understood." See Golap Chandra Sirkar Sastri'S Hindu Law, pp. 58 and 59. Again in Ch. II, Section 3, V. 4, Vignaneswara reiterates his view as to propinquity being the sole governing principle thus:" Nor is the claim in virtue of propinquity restricted to Sapindas, but on the contrary it appears from this very text that the rule of propinquity is effectual without any exception in the case of Samanodhaka as well as other relatives when they appear to have a claim to the succession. "In the face, therefore, of these distinct pronouncements it is difficult to decide the question under consideration on any theory of superior religious efficacy. In the very text as to the succession of cognate kindred, Ch. II, Section 6, PI. 2, Vignaneswara begins by saying:" By reason of mere affinity the cognate kindred of the deceased are his successors in the first instance." See also MaynE, Section 579. It is plain on a consideration of the foregoing references that the Mitakshara pays no attention to the theory of funeral oblations. See the remarks of the Privy Council in Lallubhai Bapubhai v. Cassibai (1880) I.L.R. 5 B. 110 at pp. 118 and 121 and of Knox J. in Suba Singh v. Sarafraz Kunwar (1897) I.L.R. 19 A. 223 at pp. 224 and 226.
4. The Viramitrodaya which is an authority in the Benares School bases its rule of succession on considerations of propinquity though the capacity to confer spiritual benefit is sometimes referred to as a further ground of support. See Suba Singh v. Sarafraz Kunwar (1897) I.L.R. 19 A. 223 at pp. 224 and 226 and Sircar's Viramitrodaya, pp. 186 and 194. It must, however, be admitted that the Privy Council and the Madras High Court have occasionally adverted to considerations of the religious efficacy of oblations as a factor in determining the relative priority of competing claimants to succession; see Byah Ram Singh v. Bhyah Ugur (1870) 13 M.I.A. 373 at p. 392; Muthusami v. Muthukumarasami (1892) I.L.R. 16 M. 23 at p. 30; Balusawmi Pandither v. Narayana Rau (1897) I.L.R. 20. M. 342 at p. 348. Indeed Mr. Justice Muthusawmi Iyer in Muthusawmi v. Muthukumarasam (1892) I.L.R. 16 M. 23 at p. 30 formulates his conclusion at p. 30 thus : "As between bandhus of the same class the spiritual benefit they confer upon propositus is as stated in Viramitrodaya a ground of preference." As pointed out by us, however, the Viramitrodaya says at p. 104: "Greatness of propinquity is alone the criterion of succession." Whatever may be the true position of the Viramitrodaya, it cannot outweigh, so far as the Southern Presidency is concerned, the distinct pronouncement of the Mitakshara itself as to propinquity being the sole test of succession and the express statement of the order contained in the Smriti-Chandrika and the Sarasvati Vilasa. Our attention was drawn to the observations in Balusami Pandither v. Narayana Rau (1897) I.L.R. 20 M. 342 regarding the propriety of introducing considerations of religious benefit in some cases. Assuming they are well founded they are open to the same remarks that we have made as regards Mr. Justice Muthusawmi Aiyar's dictum in Muthusami v. Muthukumaraswami (1892)16 M. 23 at p. 30. Tirumala Chariar v. Andalammal(1907) I.L.R. 30 M. 406 was also relied on for the view "that all other considerations being equal the claimant between whom and his stem there intervenes only one female link may legitimately be preferred to the claimant who is separated from the stem by two such links". This observation may no doubt apply to the present case. But the important qualification of "all other considerations being equal" excludes the operation of the rule, for the express authority of the Smriti Chandrika, the Sarasvati Vilasa, and the Vyavaharamayuka must be given effect to.
5. The question has sometimes been discussed as to the place of bandhus not named in the list of Satatapa. It has been argued that they should all come only after the enumerated bandhus. But this view has been rightly negatived in Gunesh Chunder Roi v. Nilkomal Roy (1874) 22 W.R. 264 in the case of the sister's son as against the mother's sister's son and in Mohan Das v. Kishnabhai (1881) I.L.R. 5 B. 597 in the case of the maternal uncle as against the mother's sister's son. It is obvious that the decision in these cases was in favour of the person of greater propinquity. Whatever might have been the reason for naming only certain of the bandhus, there can be no implication that they have all priority over others' unnamed in the text. But the introduction of the maternal uncle and the sister's son in the list of bandhus so as to effect a breach in the order of persons named is no reason for repudiating the notion of the order amongst the persons inter se who have been named.
6. We are, therefore, inclined to hold that the mother's sister's son should be preferred to the maternal uncle's son. In rejecting the notion of superiority by reason of the religious efficacy of oblations we have felt ourselves more at liberty in this case in consequence of the fact that the parties to the suit are Jains and that though the Hindu Law is prima facie held applicable to them, its religious developments should not have unrestricted operation; see Mayne Section 516.
7. The second appeal is dismissed with costs.
