Ralph Fiennes blasts class structure debate
Actor RALPH FIENNES has launched a foul-mouthed tirade against his fellow countrymen, insisting they have a "depressing" obsession with the country's class structure.
The Schindler's List star was annoyed by recent comments from actors Dame Helen Mirren and Andy Serkis who have bemoaned the lack of young working class stars and fear acting is now the preserve of the wealthy.
Fiennes has branded the debate "retarded" and he is adamant there are still plenty of roles available for actors from all backgrounds.
He tells Seven magazine, "This is so b**locky (rubbish), and all it is, is f**king England's obsession with class, and it's so depressing. And it's a media construct to run stupid articles about class this, posh actors that. It's so retarded to me, the discussion.
"It's not true. There are parts for everyone. It happens to be a couple of actors who are hitting the limelight at the moment who happen to have public school educations. It's depressing, it's this country's f**king ghastly Achilles' heel, its obsession with class. Good actors get work. Doesn't matter what their background."

Darrelle Revis again the face of the Jets franchise
By Kristian Dyer
Published : March 11, 2015
The prodigal son has returned home.
Perhaps the best player in the history of the franchise has returned as Darrelle Revis is once again a member of the New York Jets, the team that made him a first round draft pick in 2007 and oversaw his rise to become the best cornerback in the NFL. Revis, who was traded from the Jets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 in a deal that landed two first round picks, has always been longed for by Jets fans since his departure. Now he returns after spending last season with the New England Patriots and he returns to New York with a Super Bowl ring.
The deal is reportedly for five-years, $70 million and it gives the Jets the cover cornerback needed to unlock head coach Todd Bowles' ability to utilize his linebackers in blitz schemes. The deal makes Revis the highest paid cornerback in the league.
In the deal, $39 million of the contract is guaranteed.
Revis joins free agent cornerback Buster Skrine, also signed on Tuesday, in a suddenly revamped Jets secondary.
Another bonus for the organization is that Revis leaves a divisional rival in New England, a move that upgrades the Jets but also hurts the Patriots in one sweeping move.
Perhaps almost as important as to how he helps on the field in the rebuilding of this team and the defense, off the field Revis is a goldmine for the organization. Still wildly popular with the fanbase, Revis can contribute to help flagging season ticket sales as well as PSLs, both of which have taken a hit after four years without the playoffs.
With the Jets for the first six years of his career, Revis was four times a Pro Bowl selection and thrice selected All-Pro before he was traded away in 2013.

Edward Durnford and Elizabeth Langley - Their eldest son Anthony William Durnford.
When I began the stories of our Isaacson ancestors I always knew that one of the most difficult stories to write would be about Anthony Durnford. In our lineage he is a 2nd cousin*3.
However I had no idea what facts I would eventually find.
However I had no idea what facts I would eventually find.
As a young child growing up, in the 1950's both my fellow Durnford cousins and I at some point, became aware of a "famous" person in our family. We knew his name and that he had been in South Africa, not far from Australia just across the Indian Ocean. There were not many of us living south of the Equator, we were rather like the "distant" cousins. No-one really knew how he was related, they just knew he fitted in somewhere into our Australian lineage. We knew he had done something quite bad, and nothing more would be said about him.
He was famous for the wrong reasons, so famous in fact that Burt Lancaster played his role in the movie Zulu Dawn. All those years ago, the movie was to me, gruesome. I had no idea of what the whole story was about, I hid behind my pillow on many parts of it.
Fast forward 35 years, and I am now a far more wiser person, made all the more wiser through the research of my ancestors.
I understand how it is easy to develop an affinity when living and working amongst different people, from our own personal experiences from living for two years in Bougainville and how I felt while they were in Civil War.

John Young of the Rork's Drift
A Snapshot of his early days in South Africa - The complete story in the following series of posts.
Anthony Durnford left England late in 1871, where he had been living at Devenport, when he was offered an appointment with the Royal Engineers in South Africa.
|Museum at King William's Town
King William's Town owes its establishment to warfare with the Xhosa during the nineteenth century and the tenacity of a Scottish missionary, John Brownlee. He had established the Buffalo Mission Station on the fertile banks of the Buffalo River in January 1826.
In 1857 the total number of European inhabitants in British Kaffraria (some 1792) was increased by the arrival of 2119 German military settlers. The population return for 1857, published in January 1858, lists the Xhosa population of British Kaffraria as 52186.
Although Sir Harry Smith's Crown Colony of British Kaffraria was to be short-lived - by 1866 it had been incorporated in the Cape Colony - King William's Town was permanently established at last and could flourish and grow
During that period he designed Ford Durnford and the first Anglican Church built at Estcourt near the Little Bushman's River drift. (has been replaced)
Estcourt is located at the confluence of the Bushmans and the Little Bushmans River. It is also on the main Durban - Johannesburg railway line some 160 km north of Durban and 25 km south of the Tugela River crossing. In earlier years the main road, later to become the N3, passed through the town. The town itself is 1196 m above sea level and lies in the hilly country that dominates most of the Natal Midlands. The Drakensberg lies some 40 km to the west of the town.
In 1872 an Anglican church was built on the banks of the Bushman's River, and Fort Durnford was built in 1874 by Lt-Col Durnford, a military engineer, as a base for the Natal Mounted Police.
In 1847 a detachment of the 45th Regiment was sent from Fort Napier in Pietermaritzburg to protect the Boers in that region from the raids of the Bushmen. For their station they chose the flat top of a hill across the Bushman's River from Saailaer. This w Type of site: Fort Previous use: fortifications and stables. Current use: Museum. Coming into Estcourt from Pietermaritzburg turn right onto Kemps Road just before crossing the railway. This extensive fortification was designed by Colonel A.W. Durnford and erected in 1874
The fort became a substantial stronghold, and was used to protect transport riders and the herds of cattle driven across the ford.
It is as secure as any castle with drinking water tanks in the basement, a drawbridge, moat and two secret tunnels.
Fort Durnford is an interesting example of a late 19th-century form of defence, presumably built to the specifications laid down by the ROYAL ENGINEERS for use in the colonies. Constructed of sandstone, it was built by British soldiers and was the largest of the Natal fortifications. (Built by Jeromia Faulds)
Surrounded by a ditch which, according to the original plans could be flooded as a moat, the fort was entered by means of a drawbridge leading through to stout iron-plated doors. There was ample stabling, provision for a courtroom, officers' mess, armoury and strongroom - each made homely by the presence of fireplaces. The devices for the fort's defence were several and ingenious, but in fact were never put to the test; the mere presence of this twin-towered fortification kept the peace.
In the period of alarm following the Langalibalele Rebellion in 1873 in Natal the Natal government decided in 1874 to build a permanent fort overlooking the village of Estcourt. Designed by Lieut Colonel Anthony William Durnford the acting colonial engineer, the blockhouse was two stories high, with two flanking towers and water storage tanks in the basement
A detachment of the Natal Mounted Police was stationed there. In 1878 it was linked by stone walls to stables and blockhouse to form the Estcourt Laager.
(Anthony lived for some time at the fort, he even planted a flower garden while he was there)
The Natal Mounted Police continued to be stationed there until 1900
In 1873 he was ordered to Capetown and was stationed in Cape Castle
On 1st September 1873 he was the Senior British Officer at the Coronation of King Cetshwayo
|The Durban Volunteer Artillery accompanied Sir Theophilus
Shepstone to Mlambongwenya ikhanda (barracks) during
the official coronation of Prince Cetshwayo kaMpande on September 1, 1873.
In 1878 he was in command of the Natal Native Contingent
The Natal Native Contingent
The black population of Natal were subjected to conscription to raise enough manpower to supplement the under-strength army. There was a concern that the Zulu impi could cross into Natal while the British were advancing into Zululand so a large force was needed to guard the border. The recruitment and training of native Africans was left rather late so they were not very useful as soldiers. The white colonial NCOs were brutal to their recruits and led by fear rather than encouragement. The infantry were formed into 3 regiments, the 1st had 3 battalions, the 2nd and 3rd had two each. The battalions were 1,000 strong and mostly armed with shields and spears. They looked quite similar to the Zulu enemy apart from red cloths tied around their heads. One in ten men had a rifle but they were often out of date and the men were poorly trained. But there was no lack of motivation as these natives hated and feared the Zulus.
The Natal Native Horse
The Natal Native Horse
The local irregular cavalry were formed into 5 Troops of about 50 men each. They wore uniforms, of a sort, carried carbines and were led by competent officers. The Troops were drawn from different tribal or religious groups. Three of the Troops were of Sikali's Horse, Basutos from the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains, the Hlubi Troop were from the tribe of that name. The last Troop, the Edendale Troop were Christians from the Wesleyan Edendale Mission, who had been raised after the Langalibelele Rebellion in November 1873.

KwaZulu-Natal: South Africa's domestic tourism leader, highly popular among visitors from throughout continental Africa and increasingly on the "must-see, must- do" lists of discerning travelers. These travellers from all points of the globe seek and find a unique blend of sophistication, cultural diversity and excitement – in the most breathtaking setting imaginable. Welcome to South Africa's Zulu Kingdom: KwaZulu-Natal.
|The battles fought in the rolling hills and valleys of northern KwaZulu-Natal some 120 years ago changed the course of South African history and still today, the area now known as 'the Battlefields' seems to echo with the heroic and often tragic deeds of the past. The sites of famous skirmishes that rocked the British, weakened the Boers and broke the mighty Zulu nation continue to draw visitors.
A good place to start and to give some context to your visit of this fascinating and beautiful region of KZN would be to take a guided tour. Other options are to self-drive to each site with a good guidebook and just enjoy the beautiful and often haunting views, or for a wonderfully authentic experience, in some places, you can tour them on horseback. A great many forts established by the British during the South African wars have disappeared, while others such as Fort Durnford near Estcourt are now most interesting and somewhat quirky museums.
Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift are two of the most famous battlefields in the country and also perhaps in British history, perhaps because it was here that in a furious two hour battle, Zulu forces armed primarily with traditional spears and shields thrashed the mighty British Colonial Empire, one of the few times they were ever routed by an indigenous army. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to those who defended Rorke's Drift.
Another interesting battlefield site is Spioenkop, where three men who would play an important role is world affairs were present. Winston Churchill was there as a war correspondent, Mahatma Gandhi was present as a stretcher bearer and Louis Botha became the first prime minister of the Union of South Africa. Visits to Elandslaagte, the Blood River Monument and Talana Museum near Dundee are also worthwhile.
On an annual basis, numerous "re-enactments" of some of the famous battles take place. These are great fun affairs with many local people dressing up in bright red, colonial British or traditional Zulu warrior attire. Food, music and other activities often accompany these events.
Not far from the quirky town of Babanango is the highland Ntingwe Tea Estate that famously sells a high quality tea to the famous London Store, Harrods. A tour of the estate takes one through the mountain top tea plantation, the factory and to meet some of the pickers.
Just as interesting in this area of KwaZulu-Natal, are the excellent game reserves such as Weenen, Nambiti Private Game Reserve with its luxury lodges to hire, and Spioenkop Nature Reserve all of which have great game viewing and bird watching experiences.
A lovely romantic experience is to take an early morning hot-air balloon flight over the region near Vryheid to enjoy a bird's eye view of some of the battlefields as well as do some game viewing.

Zulu Dawn is a 1979 war film about the historical Battle of Isandlwana between British and Zulu forces in 1879 in South Africa.
The film is set in British South Africa, in the province of Natal, in January 1879. The first act of the film revolves around the administrators and officials of Cape Colony, notably the supremely arrogant Lord Chelmsford and the scheming Sir Henry Bartle Frere, who both wish to crush the neighbouring Zulu Empire, which is perceived as a threat to Cape Colony's emerging industrial economy.
Bartle Frere issues an impossible ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo, demanding that he dissolve the Zulu Empire. Cetshwayo refuses, providing Cape Colony with a pretext to invade Zululand. Despite objections from leading members of Cape Colony's high society and from Great Britain itself, Bartle Frere authorises Lord Chelmsford to lead a British invasion force into Zululand.
Peter O'Toole: Lord Chelmsford. The arrogant commander of British forces in South Africa, Chelmsford is eager to advance his military career by crushing neighbouring Zululand, believing that "for the savage as for the child, chastisement is sometimes a blessing".
During the invasion, Chelmsford refuses to listen to advice from his British and Boer advisers, and from the comfort of his tent and personal coach, authorises his troops to torture Zulu captives. On the day of the battle, Chelmsford commits a cardinal error in splitting his forces.
While the troops at Isandlwana fight for their lives, Chelmsford and his equally arrogant officers, a few miles away, enjoy a silver-service luncheon. Chelmsford is last seen arriving at the site of the battle several hours later, mortified by the defeat of his soldiers, absorbing the news that the victorious Zulu army has invaded Natal.
Chelmsford's arrogance was mixed with incompetence as he left unclear instructions to those left behind at Isandlwana including which officer was in charge, Durnford or Pulleine. Chelmsford would later lay the blame for the disaster on Colonel Durnford.
Burt Lancaster: Colonel Durnford. Commander of a large force of the Natal Native Contingent (NNC), Britain's African allies, Durnford is a humane officer who expresses concern for the lives and welfare of his African troops.
When war breaks out, Durnford, much to his chagrin, is ordered to remain in Natal and defend the border rather than accompany the invasion force.
His troops are ultimately called to reinforce the invasion army, and on the day of battle, Durnford and his African cavalrymen are driven into the camp at Isandlwana.
As the British forces break apart, the one-armed Durnford becomes trapped in the camp. Hoping to save his men, Durnford orders his African cavalrymen to retreat. Remaining on foot at the battlefield, Durnford is killed alongside his infantrymen.
Durnford would later be painted by Chelmsford as the scape-goat for the disaster.
That is a very short version of events of one particular battle.
The stories of his life follow that of his timeline.

Saturday, June 11th
Yet another beautiful, tropical afternoon in Hawaii as guests arrive to Kailua Pier and board the Kona Aggressor II. Kona crew welcomes Anthony, Gilly, Wayne, Laurie, Matt, Chris, Koo, Mo, Mo, Kim, Melissa, Richard, Katherine, and Richard to the vessel. Guests are shown to their cabins, settle in, and set up dive gear before gathering on the upper deck for introductions and boat briefing. Chef Clint has prepared a savory bbq dinner that is enjoyed by all, then off to bed as Aggressor heads to sea. The diving adventure begins!
Sunday, June 12th
After a hearty French toast breakfast and Captain Ernie's dive deck briefing, the divers proceed to do a check out dive with Instructor Brent at Paradise Pinnacle. The site ranges in depth from 15ft in the shallow, upper canyons down to 90ft at the edge of the drop off and centers around a large, vibrant pinnacle, hence the site's name. As always, this pinnacle is teeming with life including spotted box fish, hawkfish, several spotted eels, and a variety of nudibranches. Divers enjoy two exciting dives here before we head to the next spot called The Hive. This dive is a dream for photographers wanting to capture dramatic images of other divers. From inside the cave, a diver on the outside is perfectly silhouetted against a peaceful blue background complete with soft, fanning rays of sunlight. The underwater image is so beautiful you'll want to keep it for the family vacation album.
Monday, June 13th
Onward to The Land of Oz, Catacomb, and Manuka Bay! The first site is a beautiful place, which gets its name from a yellow, sandy path that leads divers through and around several lively, extravagant pinnacles. The sandy path is an excellent area to look for divided flatworms and domino damselfish. The pinnacles themselves are covered in a variety bright, healthy hard corals home to various butterfly fish often seen grazing along the corals in pairs. The Catacomb is a series of subaquatic domes etched into a long winding sea wall. Here divers were able to swim into shallow caves and marvel at a gallery of naturally formed indentations and rock formations by years of lava flow and water erosion. Today divers were happy to have seen a sea hare, two octopuses, a decorator crab, and a porcupine puffer fish. The night dive at Manuka Bay was especially exciting as many morays were out feeding, including a massive yellow-headed moray. There was also a large lobster rummaged in the corals, which patiently allowed divers to take its picture, many banded cleaner shrimp, and an intriquitley patterned hermit crab.
Tuesday, June 14th
It was a calm morning to head south to Au Au Crater. This site is one of our most dramatically designed landscapes with a shear sea wall that leads up to a massive open crater carved into the wall by volcanic activity many years ago. Then a short dive only a few hundred yards away to an awesome site called Rob's Reef. Here there is a large 100ft cave that goes into the Cliffside. The sun made lighting great for photos and video and we had two great dives. Here we saw a scorpion fish, white mouthed morays and a green sea turtle. At the Lions Den divers were happy to spot a small lion fish, which is the normal size around here as lionfish are indigenous to the area and therefore have many natural predators such as grouper and eels. The big finale of this exciting day came as the well-known night dive called Pelagic Magic; also know as the black water dive. This thrilling, yet relaxing dive is where divers suspend by a line under the boat in up to a thousand feet of crystal clear dark water and see what floats by. It is a fascinating phenomenon to witness glowing invertebrates and jellies as they pulse gracefully through the blackness. The dive was unforgettable, as always.
Wednesday, June 15th
After a good nights sleep we made our way to The Dome where we saw snowflake eels, cornet fish, trumpet fish, fire worms, and a juvenile dragon wrasse. The visibility was close to 80ft. and looked like the inside of an aquarium. We continued to adventure at the Amphitheater and did a fantastic job staying together as a group through the meandering lava tubes. The last dive was the one we had all been waiting for, Manataville! Jumping into the water armed with dive lights attracts plankton, which in turn attracts feeding manta rays. Here we experienced close encounters with the mantas, sometime too close! Even the morays were in on the action, coming out of their rocky safe havens hoping for a late night snack. It was very exciting for divers, some of whom were seeing a manta for the very first time. What an amazing experience!
Thursday, June 16th
Started the day with a relaxing dive at The Meadow where divers enjoyed a healthy array of coral covered sloping reefs full of butterfly fish and angelfish. Little dancer fish poke shyly out of the rock to show off their vibrant colors before quickly darting back to the safety of a sheltering rock. Next it's time for Driftwood, a dive for thrill seekers. 80ft. swim thru, arches, and a small swim thru that bend around corners and ends at 15ft. from the surface. Driftwood is known for its fabulous arches, specifically an arch at 60ft, which takes you out to sea with a fabulous view. Next we headed to Black Hole where divers barely have to leave the mooring as it has been completely grown over with corals fingers home to tiny triple fin blennies as well as banded cleaner shrimp. For dinner, guests enjoy a delicious flank steak and asparagus, then off to bed for another big day tomorrow.
Friday, June 17th
Nearing the end of our weeks diving adventure, guests wake up, have breakfast, and then relax as we fuel up at the pier. Today we go to Turtle Pinnacle where divers saw several nudibranches, a free swimming spotted eel, a spotted boxfish, and a flowery flounder. We now head back to our homeport to dock for some well-deserved rest. Guests go in to town to have dinner and enjoy Kona before returning for the cocktail party and award ceremony. We finalize travel arrangements for Saturday, and have a lovely last evening on board the Kona Aggressor.
Saturday, June 18th
We would like to congratulate our iron divers this week Matt, Chris, Koo, and Kim. A big MAHALO from the Kona captain and crew! Thank you everybody for the fabulous week. We will miss you and look forward to seeing you again on the Kona Aggressor!
Kona Aggressor II Captain & Crew, Mahalo

"Dee has been my trainer for the past eighteen months. In that time she has always been reliable; kind; jolly and most importantly effective.
My goal when I began training with Dee was to lose half a stone and to improve my fitness.
I started out at 10st 8lbs and am now 9 stone 12 pounds whilst Dee gave me plenty of (asked for) advice on healthy eating – my weight has settled at 9stone 12 more or less regardless of what I eat which I put down to a consistent training regime.
Dee has also trained my 16 year old daughter and managed to find the fine line between encouragement and discipline that ensured that my daughter was motivated to achieve her goals and also enjoyed her sessions.
An additional bonus is that since training with Dee my on going lower back problems have now cleared up entirely.
I can't recommend Dee highly enough and would not fail to recommend her to my friends.

Data from DeGolyer, Volume 15, p. 122. See also "Museum polishes and shines a rare 'Black Diamond'", Trains, Volume 72, No. 4 (April 2012), p. 84 and GC Carter, "Black Diamond Inspection Locomotive", St Louis Museum of Transportation, last accessed 5 March 2012. (Thanks to Chris Hohl for his 18 January 2015 email update on the Black Diamond's restoration.) Works number was 10174 in August 1889.The Trains report says that the Black Diamond was completed for use by Roland C Luther , General Superintendent of the Reading. From the outside, the inspection car/locomotive resembled an elongated "steam dummy" of the type then being sold to street-car lines in many cities. Note the "over-square" cylinders and relatively large grate, which was to burn "egg coal". The body had doors at the rear for the engine crew and in the front face for the passengers. Fluted rubber matting covered both the steps and platform. Black Diamond's appointments inside and ahead of the cab suited VIP passengers and included a leather "box seat" with drawers positioned at the rear over the boiler and against the partition. Other passengers sat in the 4 leather-covered seats that swiveled. Baldwin's specs include walnut woodwork, "French plate glass" for the windows at front and read and in the partition. The glass inside for the side windows, which opened and were shaded by roller curtains, was to be of "good quality". So too was the carpeting to be of "good quality" and "in keeping with finish of engine". Even the bands on the boiler, which were planished (i.e., "Russian iron") in the cab, were brass in the passenger section. All hardware was nickel-plated, including Baldwin's builders card. Painted in raw umber and gold and rolling on red wheels behind a red pilot, the little engine appears to have had an active career of less than 20 years, although details are indefinite. Carter's careful reconstruction leaves several acknowledged gaps, but tells the story of how the MOT gained final ownership quite well. After sitting outside, but under a canopy for several years, the Black Diamond was taken into the shop on 15 December 2011 for cosmetic restoration and display in a new visitor's center. Chris Hohl, a volunteer at the Transportation Museum, reported that the restoration was completed in June 2012 and was put on display at the Roberts Building.

This email came in today. It came with a before and after pic that I will post too.
Hello to all my brothers in different parts of the world.
I write from Valparaiso, Chile.
Until now we have no record of dead brothers. There have already been sent staples to different parts of the country from Bethel to help the brothers. The truth is that the tsunami that invaded the coasts of the country was worse than what the earthquake did just minutes before. The government acknowledged that there was a error in reporting that there was a tsunami so the people were in place simply guarding their homes. In other places people would anticipate a tsunami and fled to the high areas. As it was the date of the peak tourist season, many tourists on the coasts were gone from the Fifth to the Ninth Region of the country.
The seventh and cotava region were the most devastated and destroyed. For example, in the Constitution area there is a small island full of trees that was being used by about 200 tourists who came to Santiago and other parts of the country to camp and spend their last days comfortable rest before returning to their places of origin when the disaster hit. They saw the tsunami coming and could not escape because there was little time after the earthquake to cross the sea from the island to the mainland. As some climbed trees and could be saved, but others fell short and disappeared to be swept away by the sea that completely covered the small island exept their trees.
Everything was very sad because somehow these things make us feel powerless to remedy. these situations makes me think about the prophecies that have to happen before it reaches the end. Although in my area where I live we only had grade 7 earthquake, elsewhere was 8.8. So for now we are all helping with food, clothing and of course our prayers are with the brunt of our brothers. In the morning we went out to preach and people are much more willing to listen than before.
In some areas have had many misfortunes followed. First an earthquake, a tsunami second, third fire, fourth looting homes and supermarkets that have survived, and now there are fears of epidemics.
Many hospitals were trimmered by the earthquake so the government has placed many mobile emergency hospitals.
I send a small sample of what has happened in one of the Kingdom Halls in Pelluhue.
A hug, and the Lord continues to help us use this as a testimony of true brotherhood.
Your brother Miguel

Police want to speak to anyone who saw horror crash on A505 in which driver was thrown from convertible BMW
PUBLISHED: 13:08 02 April 2017 | UPDATED: 18:55 02 April 2017
Police are now appealing for information after yesterday's horror crash which saw a man hospitalised with serious injuries after being thrown from his convertible BMW when it hit a central reservation and overturned.
A police spokesman confirmed this morning that the black BMW 330, which was travelling eastbound towards Royston on the A505 between the tunnel and Clothall Road, collided with the central reservation at about 2.30pm, overturned and landed on the tarmac.
The driver – who is in his 30s and understood to be from Letchworth – suffered serious injuries to his head and leg. His passenger, who is understood to be a friend, was also injured but miraculously walked away from the crash.
Firefighters from Baldock & Letchworth, Stevenage and Royston stations attended, with the ambulance service sending paramedics and an East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The carriageway was closed until 8pm.
Officers today want to get in touch with anyone who witnessed what happened and who have not yet spoken to police, or anyone who saw the BMW prior to the collision. You should contact Herts police on 101.

United States District Court, W.D. Wisconsin
July 18, 2017
CRAIG CUNNINGHAM, Plaintiff,v.MICHAEL MONTES, TOLLFREEZONE.COM, INC., MYDATAGUYS.COM, LLC, PODMUSICGEAR.COM, INC., EMAILMYVMAIL.COM, INC., and JOHN/JANE DOE 1-10, Defendants.
D. PETERSON District Judge
Craig Cunningham filed suit against defendant Michael Montes
and his businesses, alleging that defendants called
Cunningham's cell phone using an autodialer, in violation
of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C.
§ 227(b) and (c). Dkt. 1. Montes avoided personal
service. So, with the court's permission, Cunningham
served Montes and the defendant businesses by publication.
After the answer deadline passed with no response from
Montes, the court entered default, Dkt. 8, and set a hearing
on Cunningham's default judgment motion, Dkt. 9.
before the hearing, Montes and the defendant businesses
answered the complaint and moved to set aside default and
dismiss the case for lack of personal jurisdiction. Dkt. 13
and Dkt. 14. At the June 20, 2017 hearing, the court
determined that defendants did not show good cause to set
aside default, but stayed consideration of Cunningham's
motion for default judgment pending a determination of
whether defendants are subject to the court's personal
jurisdiction. Dkt. 26. On July 18, 2017, the court held a
hearing regarding personal jurisdiction. Cunningham appeared
pro se; defendants appeared by counsel. For the reasons
stated during the hearing and summarized here, the court
finds that defendants are subject to the court's personal
jurisdiction and so will deny defendants' motions and
enter default judgment in Cunningham's
evidence submitted by defendants prior to the hearing
indicates that Amy Montes, Michael Montes's wife, runs an
event business from a farm in Somerset, Wisconsin. Amy and
Michael Montes are the settlors and beneficiaries of a trust
that owns the Somerset farm. The Monteses travel to Wisconsin
frequently, often for several weeks at a time. In 2016 and
2017, they have spent approximately one third of their time
in Wisconsin. Montes indicated in his declaration that he
lives in San Juan Capistrano, California, and has lived there
for the past three years. He also indicated that the
defendant businesses are "set up for" the San Juan
Capistrano address. Dkt. 29, ¶ 7.
At the
hearing, Cunningham presented a dossier of documents, many of
which he obtained by subpoena, showing that Montes has made
numerous payments to Wisconsin businesses (including a
Somerset church) from a bank account registered to defendant
Tollfreezone.com, Inc. The defendant businesses'
emails listed a Somerset, Wisconsin, PO Box address during
2015 and 2016. Montes posted numerous photos online of
children- Cunningham says Montes's children-playing
football on the Somerset team and performing in a Somerset
music recital. (Bank records indicate that Montes rented
musical instalments from a Wisconsin business, possibly the
same instruments used in the recital.) Montes's counsel
confirmed that Montes and his wife are not separated and that
when Montes visits Wisconsin, he stays at the Somerset farm.
Personal jurisdiction
bears the burden of proving personal jurisdiction by a
preponderance of the evidence. Purdue
Research Found, v. Sanofi-Synthelabo, S.A., 338 F.3d
773, 782 (7th Cir. 2003). Cunningham must demonstrate that
defendants fall within Wisconsin's personal jurisdiction
statute, Wis.Stat. § 801.05, which has been interpreted
to confer "jurisdiction 'to the fullest extent
allowed under the due process clause.'" Felland
v. Clifton, 682 F.3d 665, 678 (7th Cir. 2012) (quoting
Daniel J. Hartwig Assocs., Inc. v. Kanner, 913 F.2d
1213, 1217 (7th Cir. 1990)). If Cunningham makes this
showing, the burden shifts to defendants to show that
exercising jurisdiction over them would offend due process.
Steel Warehouse of Wis., Inc. v. Leach, 154 F.3d
712, 714 (7th Cir. 1998).
Cunningham has demonstrated that defendants fall within the
general jurisdiction provision of Wis.Stat. § 801.05.
Section 801.05(1)(d) confers jurisdiction over a defendant
who "[i]s engaged in substantial and not isolated
activities within this state, whether such activities are
wholly interstate, intrastate, or otherwise." The
evidence shows that Montes's presence in Wisconsin goes
far beyond vacations: his family life is here. And the
defendant businesses, which Montes owns, also have
substantial contacts with Wisconsin, too-even if they are
"set up" in California. So defendants are subject
to general personal jurisdiction under Wisconsin's
jurisdiction statute.[2]
burden thus shifts to defendants to show that exercising
jurisdiction over them would offend due process. Under the
Due Process Clause, a "defendant with 'continuous
and systematic' contacts with a state is subject to
general jurisdiction. . . . The threshold for general
jurisdiction is high, the contacts must be sufficiently
extensive and pervasive to approximate physical
presence." Tamburo v. Dworkin, 601 F.3d 693,
701 (7th Cir. 2010). The evidence presented meets this high
standard. Defendants have not shown that their contacts with
Wisconsin are "isolated or sporadic." Id.
Montes's visits to Wisconsin are more than occasional.
Despite Montes' contention that he lives in California,
Cunningham's evidence shows that Montes really lives in
Wisconsin. And there is nothing to suggest that an assertion
of jurisdiction in this case would violate the
"traditional notions of fair play and substantial
justice." Burnham v. Superior Court of Cal, 495
U.S. 604, 610 (1990) (quoting Int'l Shoe Co. v.
Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316 (1945)). Montes has rather
persistently sought to evade service in both California and
Wisconsin, so there is nothing unfair about calling him into
court in the state in which it appears that he has the most
substantial personal and business contacts.
defendants are subject to the court's general personal
jurisdiction, and because the court previously determined
that defendants have not shown good cause to set aside
default, the court will deny defendants' motions to set
aside default and to dismiss the case.
establishes defendants' liability for the TCPA violations
alleged in Cunningham's complaint, so the analysis must
next turn to damages. The TCPA allows for $500 in damages for
each violation of certain statutory provisions. Cunningham
indicated in an affidavit that he received 176 phone calls
from defendants and that those phone calls violated §
227(b) and 227(c)(5) of the TCPA, as well as three
regulations prescribed under § 227(c), 47 C.F.R. §
64.1200(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d).
few courts to have considered the question have determined
that a plaintiff may recover multiple statutory damages
awards per phone call when the phone call violates multiple
statutory provisions of the TCPA, but a plaintiff may only
recover one statutory damages award per phone call even if
the phone call violates multiple regulations prescribed under
§ 227(c). See Drew v. Lexington Consumer Advocacy,
LLC, No. 16-cv-200, 2016 WL 1559717, at *12 (N.D. Cal.

$1, 000 per phone call because each phone call violated two
statutory provisions of the TCPA.

discretion, to increase the amount of the award to not more
than treble damages. The court declines to order treble

Just found Antarah Crawley's blog, DISORDR, on which he is posting his collected writings.
Below is an excerpt of his lament on the changed state of the District.
Those who are coming into the city call themselves "Branding Executives," "Social Media Experts," "Congressional Aids;" some call them "Millennials" with an idealistic inclination to shake up the system. And, me, I look at them, people near my age and intellect, and I want to be able to welcome them into my home even though they've already let themselves in; I want to find some common ground.
Common ground is scarce to come by between the NIMBYs and those who curse anyone standing in the way of progress.

Hard-Working Shoes: I base my clothing and accessory purchases on a combination of three things: comfort, practicality, and a gut feeling. While the first two considerations seem really boring, hundreds of unworn items and numerous "WTF was I thinking" moments have taught me to be much more vigilante about what I spend my money on. I want my wardrobe to do some serious work for me; I want to be able to wear an item (especially shoes) until they are worn out and I can look at them and say "Thanks...it's been a great run!" OK, if I spend under $25 for a pair of shoes, they are allowed to be a little impractical (for example, my really uncomfortable but very rad neon yellow heels from the 80's), but if they cost more than that, I want some staying power. Because of these qualifications, I have a notoriously difficult relationship with heels -- they have the ability to make almost any outfit "sing," but with so many cute flats out there, I have been harder and harder pressed to find excuses to pull my heels out of the closet.
A Good Buy: So, out of the fear that I might be headed down the path of Birkenstocks and orthopedic shoes, I made it my quest a few weeks ago to find a pair of heels that I would actually want to wear...often. I decided light brown leather sandals would be the most versatile, because they would look great with all of my variously-colored tights and most of my skirts and dresses. They can also be worn more casually (with a pair of great pleated pants), which is a plus in my there's-never-an-excuse-to-dress-up world. In addition, I wanted a heel that was slightly chunky, so the hobble-factor would be cut to a minimum. After much searching and list-making, I found my dream pair on Zappos.com -- a pair of strappy, chunky Seychelles made out of the softest leather...and with the cutest liberty print floral detail on the inside:
These were some of my runner-ups; so hard to choose:

Buzz is one word every blogger chase after, reason being it implies more awareness and traffic! But another harsh reality is that word of mouth marketing can not be forced. Of Course the best way to get more word of mouth is to provide awesome content but assuming you are already past that face, I am presenting here five step guide to create buzz around your blog :
- Participate in blogging communities :
Become an active member of your niche related forums and blogging communities. Whenever you write an interesting blog post, share it within these communities, it will expose your blog among a huge audience. Comments on other related blogs but don't make it just formal. Either add some value or make some query! Also, keep track of the responses on your comments and posts.
- Build an effective outreach strategy :
Outreach is an excellent way to create buzz around your blog by exposing it among a huge audience. There are two ways to do this, the first one requires you to research and reach out to the influences in your niche who are not your direct competitors and ask them to feature your content in any possible form. While the other way is to use software like BuzzStream, NinjaOutreach, etc to automate the process. No matter which process you use, but if used properly, it can drive you some real results.
- Leverage Social Media :
Social Media is one surefire way to create buzz and boost traffic is properly leveraged. Social media and blogging often goes hand in hand. Make sure to build your online presence on almost every social media network where your audience hangs out. Build attractive pages and share your blog posts, unique images, videos, and what not! But don't make it a self promotional platform, make sure to share others too. Apart from that, integrate social media to your own blog by adding social sharing widgets. These widgets will let your readers share your content within their social network with just single click thereby improving your social reach and creating buzz.
- Organize contests or give something of free:
FREE is one word that has tendency to attract every human being. So why not use this buzzword to create buzz around your blog. Offer something for free to your visitors in order to create brand awareness. Or the better, run a contest that gives your readers a chance to earn some exciting freebies. It can either be a small video tutorial or a free ebook, not much fancy but good enough to make your visitors stick around and build curiosity.
- Don't feel ashamed of asking for feedbacks :
Last but definitely not the least, there is no better way than asking for feedback from your target audience. Take care of what your readers are saying about you. Ask them to share feedback either by survey or comments or by polls. It will help you to understand what is working for your business and what's not.
So guys, these were my five step guide to create buzz around your blog. If you have any other tip that I missed, do mention in the comments below.

Tomorrow is a 12:30 dismissal day. There is always a 12:30 dismissal on the first Friday of the month. The children who attend aftercare may still bring their lunch as they will be eating in aftercare. No one else needs to bring lunch. Please send regular snack.
IMPORTANT PICK UP TIMES!!!!! If your three year old has a sibling in St. Leo's, and you normally pick them up at noon- you may pick them both up at 12:30 tomorrow in the back of the school. This would be Genevieve, Keeley, Carlos,and Jaden. If your normal pick up time is noon, please come tomorow at noon to the front door as usual. UNLESS you read this post and email me. If I know you are a 12:00 dismissal person and you ARE DEFINITELY coming at 12:30 on first Fridays, that is fine. I am just concerned for tomorrow befcause I want to keep it as simple as possible since it was a bit of an unusual day and I did not get to speak to each of you individually. Unless I hear from you personally, I am expecting Amirah, Andrea, Joshua, Christopher, Nicolas, Christina ,Adyson and Parth to be picked up at noon in the front. Alayssa, Brielle, Santino will go to aftercare as usual. If you read this please get back to me on what time your pick up will be. I am sincerely sorry for any confusion --AND-NEXT MONTH and thereafter on first Fridays- ALL MAY STAY UNTIL 12:30. Thank You!!

Morning y'all. The sun is shining but there are clouds that look very threatening to me. Keith Marler, my go-to weather guy says they are innocent cumulus clouds and will just pass us by unless you happen to be somewhere else in the state then watch out! I only mention this because I am a Minnesotan and I have explained over and over weather is our obsession, so forgive me, without weather we are bored and know not what to say.
This morning almost one week after signing off Facebook for two weeks I am back on the social media site. However, the experiment continues. The SU and I were talking about my little, unscientific experiment last night and he mentioned that perhaps to be fair I should go back online without telling him I have done so and then ask him again if my mood or attitude has changed at a later date. Voila! Any excuse will do, I am back on Facebook and he doesn't know. I will update you once I have been back for a while and the SU hasn't guessed (or has guessed).
Pain and more pain
I may or may not have told you but several weeks ago I tried a conventional chiropractor. I wanted to try the "crack your back" method just for comparison's sake because for several years now I have been adjusted by a C1/C2 chiropractor (Blair Technique). Just to make a long story short I have been in pain ever since.
I think some of the pain can be explained away. I had two conventional adjustments and then went on a longish road trip to our cabin in Idaho. I have no doubt that I needed more adjustments but all the same while we were on our longish road trip I could not get out of the car (a Tahoe) and walk normally. First, I would carefully lower myself to the ground, stand for a few minutes and then stiffly hobble through the rest stop. WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
I felt like I had aged about 20 years and when you are 59 this is not a good thing. I literally could not move without clawing pain in my left hip, so for a few seconds after my exit from the vehicle I would stand. Finally things would loosen up and I could walk normally (sort of normally for a silver-haired fox of 59 with hypothyroidism and challenged adrenals anyway). By the time I got back to the car all was well and I would hoist my body back in the seat and wait for the next stop where I would once again feel ancient and unable to move when my feet hit the ground.
Thrash and turn
We were gone for a full week and in that time I would thrash and turn most nights due to hip pain but at least I could walk and even climb the mountain trails that surround our perching cabin. The ride home was a return of the exiting nightmare but I was somewhat resigned to this by now, if you just act like you need to stretch from your long ride the slight limp as you walk in certainly will be less noticeable, right? Oh my goodness I was acting just like all my patients who tell me they are in need of a hip replacement.
Home, sweet, home but no less pain. My bedtime was the worse as my left hip would ache like I imagine a tooth when it is dying aches. There was no relief, (but keep in mind I don't take NSAIDS), so I tried ice before I actually turned the light off and Arnica gel on the affected hip. That would ease the ache a bit but something about laying on my side and what that does to your pelvis and hip joints eventually would cause an ache that woke me up and kept me turning until I finally found a spot that didn't hurt. You might ask "Didn't this wake up your spousal unit?" Yes it did, he isn't much to complain but I think when I mentioned that his snoring was bothersome he casually mentioned that my thrashing and turning wasn't doing his sleep any good either.
I do not like conventional chiro
I was really in a quandary once we got home. I had a lot of pain and now I could hardly go upstairs. My left leg was feeling weak and somehow my body felt like it was high on the left side and lower on the right. I couldn't see it in a mirror but it felt that way. For instance, I stand at my computer and I found myself standing leaning on my right hip with my left hip somewhat higher. I needed a chiropractic adjustment but the thought of the physicality of a conventional chiropractor plus this particular chiro's condescending attitude kept me from making an appointment for a week. I was pretty sure I was preparing for a hip replacement and I could put up with this pain for a long time given my alternatives.
I talked to several people who told me to try their chiro and I have to admit several of them sounded really great, very holistic and kind, which I really appreciate. I resisted making yet again another change, mostly because of the deniro involved in first time appointments and no insurance to cover the costs.
Then last Monday, I suddenly had an intelligent thought, one of those thoughts, in retrospect, that had seemingly been escaping me of late. My thought? Call Dr. Hilpisch. Why? I had not had back pain in years. In fact, I had not had back pain like this since I started seeing Jon Hilpisch. I got on the phone and made an appointment for yesterday.
The return "ain't" easy
I admit it was a little difficult to go back to Dr. Hilpisch. I had just spent almost $200 at someone else's office and was here to tell him that the $49 he charges had kept me away for almost 6 months. Yikes! When I say it I can't believe I felt that way but so be it.
Meanwhile back in the moment, Dr. Hilpisch was not impressed (to say the least) but as a health care provider I can honestly tell you that if someone says they tried another office but they are back with us I welcome them with open arms. It is a compliment. We, as patients, have the right to see other practitioners and seek second opinions. It should not be frowned upon, nor discouraged, but I am sure it is hard to realize you missed out on the $200.
A Blair adjustment
I immediately, in my embarrassed state of mind, started prattling on about what hurt etc. and he looked at me, smiled dismissively and immediately I knew. I had already sinned, gone against the first Cardinal Rule. I had said too much. The first rule of a Blair adjustment is, do not complain nor point out sore areas. He wants to check me first and then I can tell him what is wrong. Chagrined, I shut my trap and he checked my neurological signs. I was off by a full inch.
Dr. Hilpisch then scans your upper cervical area to see where the "hot spots" are (this part kind of goes right over my head and I am not sure it really does anything). My feeling is, if my neurological signs indicate I am out of alignment what difference does it make if hot spots show up on a scan. However, if it floats his boat and he finds solace in the fact that it backs up what he found physically that is good enough for me, scan away.
With the Blair Technique you are asked to lay on your side and he raises a small area of his table to support your head and only your head. He measures something (I try not to ask too many questions, yah right), adjusts the part under your head, presses on a particular part of your neck and while pressing drops the little table under your head. That's it. No cracking or body high jinx. No making you do calisthenics all the while having their body uncomfortably close. I had a real fear with conventional chiro that her helping me might be throwing her out of whack and she admitted that it did.
Okay, the adjustment segment is complete. Now you rest. First, you rest on the table and then you move and rest in a comfy chair in a room that is very Zen-like. The lights are low, the chair is comfy, there are blankets and soft music that soothes the savage beast in most but not all of us. I have been in the Zen room when a salesman or builder or some such person who is constantly in demand (or they think they are) occupies a chair and it does dampen the peace, let me tell you, but once they leave you are back to your waterfall in Tahiti and the 15 minutes passes too quickly.
Ahh, so much better
I had a restless night last night but I think that was due to caffeine at 15:00 yesterday afternoon and a heart-to-heart political discussion with my one and only adult child yesterday. Don't they say never talk religion or politics? I can tell you that you should stick to your guns on that one when it comes to your children.
Anyway that life lesson put on the back burner, I realized when I woke at 12:30 that my hip was not hurting. Yes, I was awake but it was not the hip ache that had my brain whirling and I was not tensing my muscles like I have been recently. My gluteus maximus (large butt muscle) did not feel sore and crampy. I slowly fell back in to a rather awful dream I had been having and gradually even managed to get out of that without waking again until I took my T3 at 3 am which knocks me out for another two hours (I will talk about that issue on a later blog posting).
When I did awake at my normal time I got out of my sky high bed (we need a new mattress that is something less than 2 feet thick) and set my feet on the ground. Lately this has been sorely received, in other words, my ankles have felt sore and stiff when I start to walk in the morning. This morning my ankles felt once again like the ankles of a 59 year old silver fox. My hip was so much better I actually added that to my "I am grateful for…." list for the day.
Is it perfect? No, my left hip is still stiff going up a stair but then again I didn't say the Blair Technique was miraculous. However, the improvement is remarkable and the weakness has almost disappeared and in less than 24 hours. Now that I am back may I never stray again but you never know.
For me the Blair Technique is the answer. If you do not relish the idea of cracking and twisting, even though you know it is probably a good thing, adjusting C1 and C2 will work wonders and you never dread the appointment. I really like the idea that some chiros do massage and Dr. Hilpisch does nothing of the kind. He never gives you PT exercises but then again he doesn't tell you how much water to drink nor make you feel guilty for your lifestyle. Sometimes the entire appointment takes less than 5 minutes which has to be a money making proposition but if you don't need an adjustment why should a chiro adjust your spine? Better than anything it will get you out of pain without a hip replacement and perhaps save you from becoming a crooked elderly woman long before your time (and if you are guy that is really saying something).

bingotester.com – Exactly the like a checking account is significant to your private banking demands, so is it important to your company. Your company really takes a means to process them. If you're a company that wishes to offer COD as a shipping option, you may want to shop around to get a California Delivery service which provides COD.
The Tried and True Method for Wells Fargo Business Online Banking Login in Step by Step Detail
From the Account List, then choose the accounts for which you would like to deactivate online services, then click Edit. In certain specific cases, you will have to deactivate an online banking service that utilizes a specific connection method and reactivate using another connection method so as to utilize special online payment providers. Their online banking support is totally free to use, and it's available 24 hours daily. The online banking services are offered for both personal and company banking. It's only one of the many small business banking solutions which Wells Fargo can assist you with.
Regardless of the refunds, some clients say it won't be quite as easy to reverse the damage resulting from the bank's practices. As soon as they have been fastened there will be a need for higher production and the possible demand for providers. For example, you might want to notify clients within a day of finding a breach.
What Is So Fascinating About Wells Fargo Business Online Banking Login?
The bank has a website with a user-friendly interface. Meanwhile, banks have made lots of cash so that it's a significant issue. Many banks provide you other positive elements, also.
How to Choose Wells Fargo Business Online Banking Login
Banks have a tendency to be silent, agreeable areas to get the work finished. While they generally reimburse consumers for any theft linked to personal credit cards and accounts, that is not always or even normally true with business accounts which don't have the same protections. Wells Fargo bank's been in existence for so many decades, and they've found a few benefits that customers may gain from.
Even if a financial institution agrees to refund your company for a few of their reduction, it might take years to observe a check, states Chiow. When it is made to close a customer's account for one of these reasons, it will close the account and forward the individual's name, personal information, and data of interest to the fraud or debt to Chexsystems where it will sit quietly until that person tries to open up a new bank account. If you do not see your lender or charge card business envisioned, utilize the search bar to acquire the one which you're searching for.
Even if you didn't have a mortgage, you will most likely still not wish to chance to be without homeowners insurance. Obviously, it was simple to get a loan that I use for a car that I needed because my last car caught on fire. It is less costly than a loan because you're not charged interest on it till you put on the money, but it is available just like money which you've got in a checking account. A modest personal loan might be exactly what you have to get yourself from a pinch in a rush.
Business cards are a necessity. They're a great advertising tool and also this company sells itself. Also see whether you set some business cards in their community space, laundry room or close to the mailboxes.
