SOHNEIDER v. NEW ORLEANS & O. R. R.
(Oircuit Oourt, E. D. Louisiana. :March 8, 1893.) No. 12.162.
STRB:ET RAILWAYS-INJURIES TO P ASSENGER-OONTRmUTORY NEGLIGBNCE.
It is not negligence, per se, for a passenger in a street-railway cal operated by electricity according to the "trolley" system to rest her arm upon the sill of an open window.
At Law. Petition by Mrs. Elizabeth Schneider against the New Orleans & Carrollton Railroad to recover damages for injuries sus· tained. On exceptions to the petition. E. Howard McCaleb, for plaintiff. John M. Bonner, for defendant. BILLINGS, District Judge. This case is submitted upon the petition and exception of no cause of action. The suit is for violation of defendant's obligation as a carrier, in not carrying plaintiff safely upon a car operated by electricity. She avers that she . was injured by her arm coming in contact with a post ere()ted by the defendant in connection with the new "trolley" system,-the alleged fault in the erection of the post being that it was placed too near the car; and an additional fault il!l alleged in the construction of the switch. The position taken by the defendant in the attempt to maintain its exception is that the plaintiff having averred in her petition that she rested her arm upon the window sill, the window being open, she has averred negligence. The cause of the accident seems to have been contact with the trolley post. The negligence of the defendant is charged to have been too close proximity of the post to the car, and a badly constructed switch, whereby the post came in contact with the plaintiff's arm. The averment of the plaintiff is al!l follows:
"That the weather was warm, and the windows in said car were raised and open when the petitioner got in and took her seat, and afterwards she rested her arm upon the window sill."
The defendant is averred to be a corporation operating a street railway through and over the streets of the city of New Orleans. The question presented by the exception is: Is it negligence, per l!le, for the plaintiff, who was a passenger upon a street-railway car, to rest her arm upon the sill of a window which was open? It is not necessary to consider whether it would, in law, make any diffet'ence if the car had been a steam-railway car; for the authority upon which I shall decide the question was a decision where the injured party was a passenger upon the latter, and the passenger upon a street car would be held to certainly no greater degree of
caution. The supreme court of Louisiana have decided that it was not contributory negligence in a plaintiff who, when a passenger upon a street-railway car, "rested his arms upon the sill of an open window, out of which his elbow projected a few inches." Summers v. Railroad Co., 34 La. Ann. 139. It is to be observed that the Summers Case goes further than this case, for not only was the arm resting upon the sill, but the elbow projected a few inches. In Railway Co. v. Underwood, (Ala.) 8 South. Rep. 116, (page 117,) the cases are collated by the court, and the court are of opinion that the weight of authority is contrary to the Summers Case. The opinion in the Summers Case was delivered by one of the most learned judges who have sat on our supreme bench, Mr. Justice Fenner. It was with reference to street cars, and the ground of the decision is that street-railway companies were bound to know the habits of passengers; and where those habits were consistent with safety, provided the carrier had used the precautions usual and easily possible, the indulgence of them on the part of passengers was not negligence, per se. When the contract for carriage is for transportation within the limits of a city, upon a street railway which lies wholly within the city, I am inclined to the opinion that the decisions of the supreme court of the state within which the city was situated are a rule of property, within the act of congress, and would be obligatory upon the courts of the United States, with reference to similar contracts arising within the state. But it is unnecessary for me to decide whether the Summers Case would conclude this court, because this case is not the Summers Case, as no protruding or projecting of the arm outside the window is averred, but simply the resting of the arm upon the sill. It is true there could not have been the injury which was caused by contact with the trolley post or pole unless the arm, at the time of the accident, protruded outside the window; but the substance of the plaintiff's petition is that her act consisted of, and was confined to, resting her arm upon the sill of an open window, and that the contact of her arm with the post was the result of the negligence of the defendant. Of course her arm must, at the time of the contact, have been extended outside of the window, to have encountered the post; but this causing of the thrusting out of the arm was contributed to by her only to the extent of rendering it possible by her resting it upon the sill. Under the doctrine of contributory negligence, as established by the supreme court of Louisiana, this would not be negligence. If the decisions of the state court of last resort are conclusive upon the federal courts upon this question, then the act of the plaintiff was not, per se, negligence. If, on the other hand, the question as to the meaning of the contract for transportation or carriage on street cars within a city wholly within a state belongs to that class of questions which are to be viewed as general, and not local, then the supreme court of the United States seems to have decided the precise question presented by the exception, and to have held that the resting of the arm upon the window sill of an open window is not contributory negligence. Farlow v. Kelly, 108 U. S. 288, at page 289, 2 Sup. Ct. Rep. 555, at page 556, the case is stated:
vol. 54.
"Kelly [the p1:llntlff] was a pasllenger, and had a seat near an open window. HavlnJr a severe hendache, be placed his right elbow on tbe sill or base of the open window, and rested his bead upon his band. The forward rigbt-band corner of the coacb in which Kelly was riding struck a freight car, and jarred bls elbow from the window sill outward over the window sill, and outside the car, bringing his forearm in contact with the freight car."
At page 291, 108 U. S., and page 557, 2 Sup. Ct. Rep., the court say:
circumstances, to ride with his elbow on the sill of the open window."
"In our opinion, it was not contributory negligence for Kelley, under the
I think this last eaee 110 elosely resembles the case made by the petition here as to be undistinguishable from it. True, Farlow v. Kelly was a case arising on a steam-railway car; but, when there has been a distinction attempted between negligent acts of passengers on steam cars and those on horse cars, given acts of exposure on the part of the steam-car passenger are, in the words of Mr. Bishop, (Bish. Noncont. Law, § 1116,) "deemed the more recriminatory," on account of steam power being more difficult of control than horse power. The measure of negligence on the part of passengers in taking this or that position could not be more exacting on electric cars than upon steam cars. My conclusion, therefore, is that, whether the law of this case is to be derived from the decisions .of the state or the United States supreme court, the exception must be overruled.
SOUTHERN PAC. CO. v. HAMILTON. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. No. 48.
TIuAL-MoTION TO INSTRUCT FOR DEFENDANT-WAIVER OF OBJECTIONS.
January 30, 1893.)
Where a defendant, at the close. of plaintiff's testimony, moves for an Instruction to the jury to find in his favor, and the court denies the motion, tbe subsequent introduction of testimony by defendant waives all objecti(lns whicb he migbt have made to the ruling'. Railroad Co. v. Hawthorne, 12 Sup. Ct. Rep. 591, 144 U. S. 202, followed.
A passepger refused to sign bis railway ticket, thus violating its pr(}o visions, and rendering it void, and drew a pistol to n,sist an effort on the part of the conductor to eject him. He was afterwards arrested, on complaint of the railway company, and removed from the train, by a constable, who after such removal kept him in irons for 20 minuteil before procuring a warrant. The passenger was acquitted in a criminal prosecution wherein the railway company's agent swore to the complaint. In a suit by the passenger against the company the constable tpstifiEd that he acted merely as a pf'ace officer, and on information that a pistol had been drawn. Held, that an instrncton that, if the company caused the arrest merely to eject the passenger fi'om the train, the constable was its special agent for that purpose, for whose unnecf.'ssary violence the company would be responsible, was erroneous, since it failed to discriminate betwen the acts of the officer while removing the passenget', and afterwards; and where sucb passenger, baving suffered no great bodily harm, recovers $44,000 for his injuries, the verdict, although reduced by the trial judge to $15,000, should be set aside, as influenced by the erroneneous instruction, and a new trial ordered.

And here's him singing Springsteen, http://www.avclub.com/articles/justin-townes-earle-covers-bruce-springsteen,38865/
I'm pretty sure he was at the music hall recently... I'm a huge Townes and Steve Earle fan as well.ReplyDelete

BOYNE CITY - Bruce Janssen, owner of the Wood Shop who has been in business for more than 30 years, has watched stores open and close as part of the changing downtown.
Janssen is proud of a new beginning with Main Street.
"We have to grow in a character that protects the feeling we have in Boyne City," Janssen said.
As the Boyne City fight song greeted guests and business owners like Janssen at the Old City Park, city officials announced Boyne City had been designated a Main Street community.
"It's downtown communities like Boyne City that are so important to the economic impact of the state" said Mark Maronte, the vice president of Development Finance and Business Support of the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
"Implementing Main Street is a major milestone for downtown Boyne City's growth and vitality," Maronte said.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm announced the four cities selected for the Michigan Economic Development Corp.'s Michigan Main Street program. Boyne City, Calumet/Calumet Township, Marshall and Portland will receive downtown makeovers, through intensive, specialized downtown revitalization training designed to create new jobs and investments.

Wanted to Blog about some of the fun things i've done lately with my friends!
The weekend before last we celebrated Bex's b-day. Unfortunately due to my lack of camera, I do not have exciting pictures to share. Friday night I went shopping with Becca so she could find a birthday outfit... and she did, she found an amazing dress.
I tried on a million things and all I ended up with was a white tank top-which was really needed and only $3! We had dinner at Villa Macri-I hadn't been there yet. It is so huge and really nice in there! We went with a coupon Bex had for sandwiches and ended up getting lured in by the dinner menu! We had a really yummy appitizer of tomato, cheese and breaded lightly fried cucumber! I had some very very tasty crab stuffed shrimp!! I cant wait to go back there-maybe Tim and I can go, he hasn't been yet either!
Saturday night we all went out to Houlihans, we sat in the party room! It was really nice, and had giant bottles of wine! We had lots of yummy, mini martini's and, I actually had a cheeseburger that was awesome! And this very yummy Meditrianian Orzo! yum i could use some of that now :)
After dinner we hung out in the bar for awhile, but didnt stay out too late which was super fine with me because I just cant party like we use to, and Bex and Brian and Kasia all had a long drive home. I had a great time, I hope that she did too!
That Sunday I had a really great lunch with Ana Banana, at Le Peep. I love that place! There food is so amazing! We hadnt seen eachother in awhile so it was great to catch up and just hang out. Good food, and great friends, what more could ya need!! It was a nice weekend.
This last weekend was the 1 year anniversary party for Emblazon Salon.
Congrats to Jen and all the girls!! It was so fun-it was a masqurade and i've never been to one but always wanted to! It was super fun, masks and yummy food, and good people and lots of dancing. I think I was home by like 1, but was super tired. I had such a great time! Becca and I got ready before hand at Rachels house, it was great to hang out and have some girl time.
Lori, Becca, Me and Karol Becca making kissy faces
Sunday I had lunch with Ana-looks like Sunday lunch is becoming our tradition.
We had some fancy mac and cheese at Fridays-it was ok-but kinda smokey-and i'd take my Kraft box mac and cheese over that anyday. We had some yummy pot stickers too :) Our server was super nice. That always makes my day.
Ana and I went shopping afterwards, Target, TJ Max...we havent just hung out for most of the day in a really long time, it was nice!
Today was a super busy day for me, but a pleasant one. I had an apt today with my State Farm people, they are just so extremly nice there. Carrie helped me out so much with getting our insurance back in order. They make dealing with stuff I dont really want or know how to so much easier. They just love Tyler there too-it helps that its an errand that I can bring him along with. He was even poking the agent in the face to get his attention and they were really cool about him.
The girls at the bank also are always super friendly. The one in particular, Samantha always remembers me...and thinks Tyler is such a doll. It helps when you find friendly people, because honestly customer service lately is crap.
I call the cable company and half the time cant understand the person I am talking to, and when I can they act like its just a pain in the you know what to deal with me, like its not their job or anything....Don't get me started about how the mortgage company passed me around to 4 different people who couldnt help me.
Ok, I need to stop that b/c I titled this Fun Things and that is NOT fun.
I went to Gordons today, and Tyler got to see Shawn-who is his favorite, he's been there forever and is always super helpful. It was nice to see some of the friendly faces that I recognize. We go in there like everyday so I guess they know us!
Nadja, Lily, Tyler and I made pizza for dinner. We stole stuff from the pizza place and made our own pizzas here, they kids always like doing that!
Chef Tyler
His daddy would be so proud! He's a little baby pizza man....
Nadja concentrating real hard on her piece of art.
Lily with her pizza ready to go in the oven.
Lily and Tyler stealing some cheese before it goes onto the pizzas.
I was so excited I got a shot of both of them with the cheese,. I'm calling it "caught w/ the cheese" ha!!
It turned out really fun! The picture and the pizzas.
I finished Rome the other day, and am totally bummed to find out that they did not make any past the second season. I really liked it.
I also watched Zack and Miri last night-not really my favorite movie but it was funny. I have the newest season of Tudors waiting for me..I may start that tonight. Wow, is that what I do hide from the kids in front of the TV, when i'm not out running errands or hanging out w/ friends. Ha! I did make dinner last night and play Life and Apples to Apples with the kids! Today was just a long day. I'm just excited that I dont have to get up early tomorrow to take anyone to school.
We need to get real apples to apples we just have the kid one.
I cant wait for Angie to come back from Rome so we can sit around playing apples to apples and eating goober grape, I may even bribe her with a fancy new jar of Vicks :)
I am listening to Hard Candy by Counting Crows! I just love this album!
.....they paved paradise to put up a parking lot.....I know they didnt originally do that song, but that song is why i bought the album and there are some pretty awesome tracks.
Tyler is cracking me up lately. I told him I was going to beat him up, and he tells me "no beat up Nadja"...he's so funny.
The other day he was watching Diego and I said "tyler I love you" and tyler says "i love you to mommy, but you gotta be quite" I laughed and laughed and i'm sure i've said it to him several times-but he just cracks me up!!! So now he says it all the time even when I dont start it, i love ya but ya gotta be quite-and then he just starts cracking up. My little ham!

"We are runners, rock climbers, swimmers, mountaineers, skier, gym rats, cyclists, and crossfitters. In short, we're doers, not talkers. We make sure Gnarly is something we can use. Gnarly means real nutrition. No excuses."
As a climber and a person who works hard to stay fit for climbing and backcountry adventures, good nutrition is vital. I'll be honest, I enjoy my McDonald's run and enjoy a nice greasy burger, who doesn't. But when it comes to taking care of your body, using protein and other nutritional aids, getting something that is real and full of quality ingredients is crucial to recovering and staying fit. I love Gnarly Whey, and their other products.
We are all familiar with the big name brands of whey and nutritional aids. But why do you need to buy a tub of protein that virtually takes fork lift to get off the shelf. Full of ingredients that are fillers, and artificial stuff that you can't pronounce, it can't possibly be that good for you. Gnarly Whey comes from New Zealand grass fed dairy, simply the best!
I've been using Gnarly for several months now. After a long hard climbing session, and after working out. This week I started the Insanity Program, and using Gnarly has been the best thing for recovery that i've used yet. For those of you that have done the Insanity program know how hard it is, and how demanding it is on your body each day. Gnarly has been the key to my post workout nutrition and recovery. Lets talk about taste too. What protein have you used that you can mix in water and it doesn't clump, and tastes good? Gnarly mixes amazingly well in water, and actually tastes good! With two flavors, the vanilla is perfect for mixing in water, and the chocolate is perfect for mixing into your favorite shake.
The whey is not the only product from Gnarly. The Gnarly Pump is an amazing product that gets you going before you begin your workout. Leave the goo behind and use the Pump to get hydrated and ready for your workout. Love the stuff!
Just go check out Gnarly Nutrition, and get some for yourself! It's simply the best nutritional supplements on the market! Gnarly Nutrition Website

The land down under.
This has been a place that I have always wanted to go, ever since I was little. I always want to go see the Crocodile Hunter, but sadly he is no longer living.
Getting to fulfill this dream was amazing. I think that I appreciated it even more since I had been out of an English speaking environment for so long.
6 months is a LONG time to not get to communicate with people.
While in Australia I got to go to the Great Barrier Reef. I got to snorkel AND scuba dive. It was amazing. I saw the biggest clam that I have ever seen in my life. It was as big as me. I'm not even lying. I also got to touch it and feel some of the awesome things in the ocean. I got to swim right over some of the most beautiful coral that I have ever seen.
When I was snorkeling I got to see a HUGE fish that had some of the most beautiful colors. I also got to see a sting ray in its natural environment. Scared… nope.
Australia was amazing and I recommend it to everyone. It is like America but with awesome accents and some beautiful landscape.

Joi Ito is Timothy Leary
Later today, we set up an interview where Joi Ito got questioned in the role of Timothy Leary - quasi channeling Timothy Leary's opinions and statements. The scenario builds on Leary's imaginations about preservance of the brain and it's reanimation at any point in the future. So we could take this unique opportunity to review what Leary optimistically outlined as `The new breed', the generation that is participating and living the netculture today, and even dare a forecast for upcoming breeds. It was great fun, but also kind of intense. Thanks a lot Joi Ito for participating in this session! The material will be available soon in the context of the MISSION ETERNITY project.

Your issues have vision.
They speak deeply
Textured lines flow and change
They break into pieces
Cascade down like pain
Droplets beating gentle fields.
The sky is still intact.
The Sun leaves every night
It returns on cue tomorrow
But tonight it's dark.
Moonlight would cast your shadows
But they twist like their source
The crisis at hand stands
Chicken little expresses your fears.
The sky is not falling
Your vision is collapsing instead
Heaven yields not to imagery.
It begs you use someone else's name
I stand back to watch.
Passion play runs late tonight.
The shadows are the players.
thoughts crash and burn.
The relics of the past are stage hands
But your visions have issues too

(Before anyone flips out trying to say that I "stole" this, I want to tell you that this was on my old blog. I wrote it and yes...that was me.)
I have a rabbit and I love him dearly. He is the joy of my life and he's kind of like my little child (since I don't know what it's like to have real children).
That's my darling Waffle and my sister when he was just a baby bunny and we thought he was a girl. About a year or so ago I was feeding him and noticed that he had something near his bottom. "Oh, Waffle! You have poop stuck to your butt!" It was not poop. It turned out that Waffle was not a she but a he.
Since then I've come to accept the fact that he is a boy. If I had known this in the beginning I would have named him Thumper, but that's okay.
It turns out that I should have named him Thumper because he has this habit that he's picked up since going through his bunny puberty...
He humps...A LOT!
I always used to tell people how friendly my pet bunny was. He used to go up to people so they could pet him and he would snuggle on their laps and such. Now he has become a little too friendly. I let him out of his cage so he can run around and he chases me around the room. I tell him, "Waffle, this is disgusting! I am your mother!" He doesn't listen.
He spots something he likes...he sniffs a little.
He likes what he sees. He likes what he smells. He's gonna go for it.
He may be a sexed crazed bunny...but he's my bunny and I still love him.
Here are some more pictures of Waffle.

Orlando Eye developer submits plans for luxury lakefront homes
A well-known #Orlando developer is moving forward with plans to put 13 multimillion-dollar #homes on the last large developable land tract off the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Unicorp National Developments Inc. on Sept. 12 filed a preliminary subdivision plan in Orange County to build a 13-lot single-family development on 16.59 acres of The Hubbard Estate.
The development would be inside Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill community just west of the golf course on the shores of Lake Tibet in Orange County, Orlando Business Journal previously reported.
Unicorp has selected a couple of builders, including Jones Clayton Construction Inc., which provided renderings of the first speculation home that will be built in the neighborhood at 9000 Hubbard Place. A name for the subdivision has not been finalized yet.
Unicorp President Chuck Whittall previously told Orlando Business Journal the home prices would range from $5 million-$15 million.
The owners of The Hubbard Estate — the 2012 Hubbard Family Trust — authorized on June 13 Orlando-based Bio-Tech Consulting Inc. to make a conservation area determination on behalf of Unicorp, OBJ previously reported.
Jones Clayton Construction was not immediately available for comment.
Unicorp is the developer behind the I-Drive 360, Westside Shoppes, the Starflyer under construction on International Drive, and a host of other projects.

ISTANBUL, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called on the country's central bank, banking watchdog and state banks to take an active role in lowering interest rates, saying he would hold another meeting on the issue, media reported on Wednesday.
Erdogan has repeatedly called for lower rates to boost the economy and according to a senior economic official he met Central Bank Governor Murat Cetinkaya and officials from state banks last week to discuss steps to reduce rates.
Economic bureaucrats were conducting work on the issue, the Sabah newspaper cited Erdogan as telling reporters on his plane as he returned from a visit to Rome on Monday. Hurriyet newspaper carried a similar report.
"Once this is completed, we will meet again. On this, an active role must be played primarily by the central bank and BDDK (banking watchdog), and then by state banks," Erdogan was quoted as saying.
"If you do not take an active role, the rest will just do what they want," he added. "Inflation has still not come down from double to single digits. For as long as you go on with this logic and thinking it won't either."
At its most recent policy-setting meeting, the central bank left its top rate steady at 12.75 percent. Data on Monday showed consumer price inflation dipped to 10.35 percent in January from near 12 percent a month earlier. (Reporting by Can Sezer; Editing by Daren Butler)

Well, after all that talk about Spanx, I found that I needed to go shopping for another contraption we women pour ourselves into---bras.
I have decided that I could easily become a multi-millionaire if I could design a bra that was both comfortable and supportive. Sort of like an old husband.
Instead what I usually find are bras that are too tight, don't fit right, allow 'the girls' to droop too much, or push them up under my chin.
I also found out that I am waaaay behind the curve in the boobage department as it seems that all bras now are designed for women whose cup runneth over. In other words I think all bras are now made for my sisters full of silicone and not for natural old me. And speaking of old, I now have to contend with a whole new array of disasters like over hanging back fat and armpit creep where the space just in front of my armpit manages to bulge over my bra strap.
Oh, how I long for the prepubescent days when young girls are given training bras and told what to expect as they mature into womanhood. Unfortunately, no one does this on the opposite of life so we could know what to expect as we age into dowager status.
So in my quest for proper support, I proceeded with trepidation into the underwear department in an attempt to find a bra equivalent to the perfect man, something we all know doesn't exist. I did manage to take two home (bras, not men) and as I sit here typing this can report that the straps of one of them are digging into the soft flesh at the front of my underarms along with the stay on the side of the bra directly under the armpit which is digging into my side. The 'girls' are so high up I could easily do the lipstick trick done by Molly Ringwald in "The Breakfast Club" film. (if you haven't seen it, go look it up on youtube).
On the other, um, er, hand, the second bra offers so little support that my 'girls' can now be called chesticles since they hang so low. Fortunately, I am not heavily endowed and they can only reach so far south.
I had high hopes of achieving bra wonderfullness (not wonder bra -they are no wonder believe me) only to have those hopes dashed on the shore of disappointment once again.
I'd consider just giving up and going bra-less but those days are long gone. Sigh. The hunt continues.
Oh, and I will gladly fork over one of the newly purchased torture devices to anyone who can come up with the funniest caption to the photo above.

TOKYO (CBS.MW) - Japanese stocks closed sharply higher on Monday as retail and machinery issues rallied on growing signs of a strengthening economy.
The Nikkei Average gained 160.27 points, or 1.7 percent, to 9,487.80. The broader Topix index was up 1.2 percent at 928.52. Other Asian markets were mixed.
Blue chips also gained ground after their U.S. peers' advanced in New York. Even though the markets were open, many people were away for the "obon" holidays to pay their respects to their ancestors.
Trading slowed, with volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's main section dropping to 811 million shares from Friday's 1.1 billion.
Elsewhere in the region, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose 1.5 percent to 10,093.54 and South Korea's Kospi added 0.06 percent to close at 704.58. Taiwan's Weighted Index declined 0.3 percent to 5,214.60 and Australia's All Ordinaries Index closed virtually flat at 3,136.50.
Singapore's Straits Times Index gained 1.4 percent to 1,555.92. Investors shrugged off data showing that the city-state's economy contracted sharply in the second quarter due to the impact of SARS. Read pulse.
Japan GDP in focus
Investors are hoping for another upside surprise on Tuesday, when the Japanese government releases GDP data for the second quarter. On Friday, the economy showed more signs of strengthening following a surprise jump in machinery orders. Orders rose a better-than-expected 2.4 percent from the previous month to 954 billion yen ($8 billion). Read Japan economy wrap and GDP outlook.
Another plus for the market was data showing that foreign investors remained net buyers of Japanese stocks in July for the fourth straight month. Read pulse.
Japan's April-June GDP data, due out early Tuesday, is expected to show that Japan's economy expanded 0.7 percent during the quarter from the year-ago period, according to a Nihon Keizai poll.
"Personal consumption is expected to remain at quarter-earlier levels, underpinned partially by a declining savings rate, while housing investment and capex are expected to grow," said Goldman Sachs. "As a consequence, the likelihood of a shift in policy, including fiscal policy, is seen diminishing for a while," the brokerage firm said.
Meanwhile, the strong orders data boosted machinery shares. NEC Machinery (6344) NCMCF jumped 2.1 percent to 960 yen, and Hitachi Construction Machinery (6305) HTCMF, +5.38% rallied 5.9 percent to 1,300 yen.
Komatsu (6301) was up 6.9 percent at 605 yen after the construction machinery maker announced a 488 percent year-on-year jump in group net profit to 3.7 billion yen for the April-June quarter.
In the retail sector, Seven Eleven Japan SVELY (8183) jumped 2.6 percent to 2,950 yen, and Lawson (2651) rose 1.6 percent to 3,220 yen.
Among other active stocks, Toyota Motor TM, +0.38% (7203) added 1 percent to 3,080 yen and Canon CAJ, +0.84% (7751) advanced 1.4 percent to 5,620 yen after the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7 percent on Friday.
The dollar eased to 118.57 yen in late Asia from 119.10 yen in New York late Friday.
Bridgestone BRDCY, +0.56% (5108) rose 1.8 percent to 1,623 yen. Japan's biggest tire maker on Friday posted a 30.6 percent jump in its first half net profit to 31.96 billion yen ($266.3 million), boosted by brisk sales in overseas markets and benefits from the euro's appreciation.
Shares of Softbank (9984) closed unchanged at 3,240 yen. The Internet investor on Friday posted a group net loss of 34.73 billion yen for the April-June first quarter on sales of 103.88 billion yen.
Hyundai Motor up after earnings
South Korea's largest automaker Hyundai Motor HYMLY, +0.00% rose 0.9 percent to 32,900 won. Hyundai, 10 percent owned by U.S.-German automaker DaimlerChrysler AG DCX reported an 86 percent surge in its second-quarter net profits due to strong exports.
Hyundai reported a net profit of 570.4 billion won ($483 million) in the second quarter ended June 30, against a profit of 306.8 billion a year ago. See full story.
SK Telecom SKM, -1.48% added half a percent to 203,000 won. South Korea's No.1 cell phone carrier said the number of subscribers to its multimedia third-generation wireless service has reached 1 million customers after launching the service last November, according to a Dow Jones report.
Samsung Electronics SSNGY, +0.00% rose half a percent to 408,000 won, recovering from initial losses.
In Taiwan, United Microelectronics UMC, -1.10% fell 1.3 percent to NT$22.20 and bigger rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSM, +1.49% lost 1.7 percent to NT$57.
Goldman downgrades SIA, ups Cathay ratings
Singapore Airlines SGPJF declined 1.85 percent to S$10.60. Goldman Sachs downgraded SIA to "in-line" from "outperform" while upgrading Cathay Pacific Airways to "outperform" from "in-line," saying SIA is increasingly exposed to the threat of low-cost carriers in Southeast Asia.
Goldman Sachs also said that SIA is more vulnerable to terrorism risk as a significant portion of its business originates from Southeast Asia and the perceived threat of terrorism also affects long-haul demand.
Goldman Sachs said that Cathay is in a better position than SIA, citing Cathay's exposure to greater China passenger and cargo traffic growth. Cathay's shares CPCAY, +1.05% (293) rose 0.9 percent to HK$11.65. Cathay's parent Swire Pacific (19) SWRBF, +18.79% was up 0.8 percent at HK$36.10.
China Mobile CHL, +0.29% (0941) jumped 2.9 percent to HK$19.50 ahead of its half-year business results due out Tuesday. The company is likely to report a 16 percent jump in its first-half net profit to 17.64 billion yuan ($2.1 billion), according to a Dow Jones poll. China Mobile had a net profit of 15.22 billion yuan in the first half of 2002.
China Unicom CHU, -0.72% (0762) gained 2.9 percent to HK$5.30.
In Sydney, shares of News Corp. NWS, -0.90% climbed 2.8 percent to A$12.08. Rupert Murdoch's media giant is set to post fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday.

One more child. It was a much desired and planned pregnancy. My first trimester was relatively mild, but any drain on my energy and even a mild sickness is amplified when I'm caring for three children under the age of seven! I determined that this would indeed be our last child. I no longer had the desire to be pregnant or to go through another c-section. It seemed so simple.
As I entered the second trimester I was so eager to feel my baby move. I had felt the girls all move very early, between 13-15 weeks, and I just couldn't wait to feel this little one. I know I commented more than once about not feeling those kicks. I surmised that my placenta was probably in the way and blocking them. I knew the baby was okay because I had been listening to it daily with a fetal doppler (we've done so with each pregnancy since Wyatt). Finally, I started feeling little movements here and there and they were mostly reassuring that things were okay.
However, as we approached the 19 week ultrasound I became very uneasy. The lack of regular strong kicks, feeling not very big for my 5th pregnancy and just intuition I guess left me uncomfortable. I also was struggling with not "connecting" with this baby and could not understand why. I clearly remember taking a walk with my husband and girls the night before our ultrasound, just 5 weeks ago. I told my husband that I had a bad feeling, that something was wrong with the baby or the pregnancy but I didn't know what it was. My best guess and fear at the time was placenta previa. Perhaps my subconscious prevented me from connecting the dots or my memories had faded enough to spare me the pain.
We decided to take our youngest two to the ultrasound early the next morning. I was so excited for them to see their baby sister or brother. However, I began worrying right away when they started. The screen was annoyingly turned away from me so I couldn't see. But when they turned it toward me things just didn't look right. Of course, neither of the techs said anything about low amniotic fluid, missing bladder or kidneys. But, this was my fifth ultrasound and I knew by now what I was looking for and that I did not see those things. The baby was beautiful and bashful, so we were unable to find out the gender. I hadn't wanted to know, but my husband did and we had planned on him finding out. The baby just wasn't moving much and had its precious little privates well concealed that day.
I took the ultrasound photos and my two girls home. Despite an urgent need to empty my bladder I tore open each of our children's baby books and frantically dug out ultrasound photos. I knew in a second that this baby had Potter's Syndrome too. The lack of fluid was unmistakable. It's literally the difference between grey and black. I sat at our dining room table and burst into uncontrollable sobs for the little life in my belly and for our family and what we would lose again. There was so much more to process this time, this time we knew all about Potter's, we knew how the pregnancy would likely go and how it would likely end but now I had three innocent children who I could not protect from the pain of losing this child. When my mascara was gone I went to the bathroom and cleaned up without saying a word.
Later that afternoon when my mother-in-law came to watch our girls while we met with my OB/GYN, I said nothing when she asked how it went. I showed her the ultrasound pictures as happily as I could, got in the car and prepared to hear some of the most awful words any person could ever utter, that my child would die, again.

Dancers teachers have taken to the floor where they have helped people perfect their moves for more than three decades for the last time.
Husband and wife duo Jean and John Hepple have held the sessions at Sunderland's Seaburn Centre since the venue first opened in the mid-1980s.
But the leisure centre closed at the weekend as council chiefs prepare the area for major redeveopment.
The Pullman Lodge, which had hosted weddings and other functions just yards away from the Seaburn Centre, is now being demolished.
Development company Siglion is now looking to create new housing, seaside retail and leisure facilities in the prime seafront area.
Mrs Hepple said leaving the centre was disappointing, but the sessions will continue.
"Our last dance session has been a bit emotional because we all have so many nice memories of being there," she said.
"A lot of people have been involved over the years, and of course some are no longer with us, so it's been a time to remember them.
"More than 50 people have turned out so we've had a good time but we have to move on."
Mrs Hepple and her husband have been dance teachers since the 1980s and at one point were involved with seven classes each week.
Although they are not as busy these days, the sessions, which see members perform 50/50, ballroom and sequence dances, will now take place at Mill View Social Club, in Sea Road, in nearby Fulwell.
"It's sad that the centre is closing for a lot of people, not just us," added Mrs Hepple, of Penshaw.
"Some people blame the council but maybe the place has become a bit of a white elephant.
"Hopefully whatever is put in its place, such as housing and restaurants, will get more people to come to the seafront."
Those looking to take part in the dance sessions run by Mr and Mrs Hepple can do so by going to Mill View Social Club on Thursdays from 1.30pm to 3.30pm.
Admission is £2.50 per person, with tea and coffee provided.

We went strawberry picking Monday with our boys at a local farm along the Willamette river. Beautiful country down in Creswell OR rolling hills on either side of the river. Nice fertile bottom land, perfect for market farming. Along the way we saw turkey vultures, great blue herons, and other water fowl along the waterways and sloughs. Hansen's Coast Fork Farm has a great setup for strawberry u-pick. We picked in the no-spray field, they also have an organic field that wasn't ready for picking.
It has been a cool, drizzly last few weeks after an unseasonably warm and dry spring. The berries were small but good flavored. Lots of misshapen ones that my boys named: mitten, purse, and boxing glove berries. The field is very well cared for with obvious cultivation keeping the ground clear between rows. Lots of prickers and low thistle plants that kept things interesting!
The boys both fussed about getting up (at 9:30!) and to the field before noon. Ciaran said he didn't like strawberry picking but preferred cherry and blueberry picking. Aodan agreed. We got them in the car, fed them some yogurt and hauled them down to the farm with us. They are the ones who eat the most frozen strawberries during the year so they need to earn their keep.
Ciaran and Mama heading out into the field. Ciaran is trying to look grumpy. They have a nice kiosk set up for check in and check out. All in all a well run, tidy field. While we were picking I chatted briefly with a woman who was working hard filling 2 buckets by herself. She said it was hard work for an old lady like her but that she loved coming to u-pick because she gets to enjoy everyone's kids. One of the many pleasures of u-pick.
We got the berries home and soaked the dirt off of them (lots of dirt due to the recent rain), hulled them and put 10 quarts in the freezer. We will definitely head out again to get more strawberries as the boys love to make smoothies out of them all year. I make jam and strawberry sauce as well. I think last year we had about 50 quarts.
Mehu-Liisa tip: Remember that you can put frozen berries on top of fresh fruit that you juice later in the year to make wonderful flavor combinations. Apple, peach, and pear go well with berries mixed in. White grapes are also a good base fruit for combination juices.
Take care 'til next time.

Good Samaritan drug overdose laws provide immunity from arrest, charge, or prosecution for drug possession or paraphernalia when individuals who are experiencing or witnessing an overdose summon emergency services (Davis 2013, NPHL 2016, NCSL-Overdose). Good Samaritan laws vary by state; some states also provide expansive protection from violations of probation, parole, and restraining order and other protection from arrest on outstanding minor warrants (Davis 2013, NPHL 2016). Good Samaritan drug overdose laws often accompany efforts to expand layperson's ability to administer naloxone in opioid overdose situations (NCSL-Overdose).
Good Samaritan drug overdose laws are a suggested strategy to reduce drug overdose death, especially opioid overdose deaths (US Mayors-Overdose 2014, NCSL-Overdose, Davis 2013, NPHL 2016). Available evidence suggests that fear of arrest is a common barrier to calling 911 during an overdose (Follett 2012, Banta-Green 2013); fear of police involvement can lead bystanders to delay or forgo calling 911, increasing risk of overdose death (US Mayors-Overdose 2014). A Washington-based survey suggests that as drug users learn about Good Samaritan laws, they become more likely to call 911 during an overdose (Banta-Green 2011), and law enforcement officers in states that have adopted Good Samaritan laws report that these laws have improved citizens' image of law enforcement (Davis 2014c). However, additional evidence is needed to confirm whether and to what extent existing Good Samaritan laws change behavior.
As of January 2017, 37 states and Washington, DC have passed Good Samaritan drug overdose laws to encourage bystanders to call for help in the event of an overdose (NCSL-Overdose).
In April 2014, the Wisconsin legislature amended the Uniform Controlled Substances act to give bystanders who act in good faith to summon emergency services during an overdose immunity from criminal prosecution for possession of drugs and paraphernalia (NPHL 2016).

"I have a lump."
I get that sentence in my text and email inboxes more than I'd like to. Not because I don't want people to tell me… no no no… please tell me. But rather, because I so hate to see that another person has to go through the process of figuring out what that lump is.
This week I am going to focus on three things here on the blog:
- How to help a friend awaiting answers on a lump
- How to help a friend who has been diagnosed
- How to help a friend after treatment
Those are some of the most common questions I get and I wanted to put together three quick lists for reference if you are the friend.
So. Your friend has a lump or something suspicious. They've either scheduled an appointment or they have already had a mammogram and biopsy and are now awaiting the results. For most people, this is terrifying — specifically if they are at the biopsy part.
As a friend, you might be wondering, "How can I help?" Well. Here are 5 ways/tips that I think you, as a friend, can provide support.
- Do not mention cancer.
- I feel like enough people are mentioning cancer. I do not need to mention cancer. But if you choose to bring up cancer because that is the way your friendship rolls, seriously do not say, "Oh I knew a woman who had a lump and it was cancer and…" Because seriously. Mass hysteria could ensue. So if you're thinking of telling stories of anyone who has had cancer — just don't. Even if it's a success story… it's just not a warm fuzzy feeling. If they bring up cancer, then roll with it. If they don't… leave it alone.
- Ask how they are feeling that day that you are talking/texting/etc
- Emotions change daily, right? Some days, the information or the thoughts feel normal. Sometimes they feel overwhelming. Asking specifics about that day makes it less cumbersome to share emotion, I think.
- Tell them you get it.
- Life can be scary. News of a possible intruder inside of our body — well — that can be debilitating. Tell them you get their fears and that they are not crazy.
- Stay off the internet.
- No need to do any research. Just be a friend to your friend. That's what they need. They don't need Dr. Google telling them to freak out. They are likely doing just fine with that on their own.
- Treat them like you normally do.
- Don't feel the need to change up your banter or your normal life talk. This friend may not have a diagnosis of cancer. Or they may. But regardless, regular life goes on.
Also, people often ask what might be a good idea to take to your friend as a gift in this stage of waiting. You know your friend better than me but here are a few ideas to get your mind moving:
- Wine.
- Because wine.
- Tea.
- Calming teas and a mug.
- Jesus Calling.
- Love this book. It's so positive and just a bit of digestible faith for each day.
- Inspirational jewelry.
- They can wear this as they wait and after!
- Mindless magazines.
- Reading about celebrities always helps take a mental break when needed.
Above all, just be the friend they already know you to be. You don't really need to do ANYTHING outside of being there, listening, and offering a message to let them know you are thinking of them. Anything else is simply icing on the cake of your friendship!

Today on the blog we're featuring the impossible elegance of Vicki and Richard's wedding day at Eaves Hall in Clitheroe.
All of the details, from the fine surroundings of Eaves Hall to Vicki's lace mermaid-cut gown, speak of classic sophistication. This super-stylish couple opted for a pop of cornflower blue in their otherwise neutral colour scheme and the most stunning bridal posy this side of the Pennines.
Their day was perfectly captured by their photographer, who certainly delivered on her promise of beautiful, relaxed and natural wedding photography.
Vicki tells us more…
With images by Emilie May Photography.
vicki says: We got engaged at Room restaurant in Manchester on New Year's Eve 2013. Richard proposed at midnight; it came as a total surprise as, after almost six years together, I'd given up on him proposing!
Our wedding date was set for 12th August 2016. We wanted to get married in summer: because Richard is a teacher, we were restricted to certain times.
Our venue was Eaves Hall in West Bradford near Clitheroe. We had both the ceremony and the reception there. Richard's parents had stayed at Eaves Hall several times when it was a guest house. They often talked about it and how lovely the house and grounds were. Richard suggested going to an open day at the end of January a little after we had gotten engaged. It was the first and only place we visited – we fell in love as we walked around the house. We went for lunch at the Waddington Arms to discuss it and then went straight back after to ask about dates. We didn't regret a thing – there would be no point in seeing other places as we just knew that Eaves Hall was perfect for us.
We had a rustic theme with lace and burlap and little wooden hearts. It suited Eaves Hall and its decor perfectly. I handmade our invites – they were cream and natural card with burlap and lace around the top and with a wooden heart in the middle. This theme carried on with the menus, vases, table plan, place names and so on. We also scattered wooden hearts on each table. We wanted to keep the décor simple with lots of little touches, along with lovely flowers. Eaves Hall is such a lovely house with beautiful decoration; it speaks for itself and doesn't need much adding to it.
Overall, the colour-scheme was lots of natural neutrals, but we also chose a strong blue for the bridesmaids. The men's suits were navy blue – I personally think Richard looks very handsome in blue, and I'm not a fan of grey suits.
I chose a fitted lace mermaid-style dress with a low back and a jewelled waistband. I wanted to show off my curves – in the right places!
During the planning, I looked at lots of magazines including UNVEILED, attended a Brides Up North wedding fair and got inspiration from the blog to get plenty of wedding-related ideas, especially regarding my dress. I went to a few boutiques and salons and tried on lots of different shapes, which I would definitely recommend – you need to know that you've made the right choice! The dress I eventually chose was from Love & Cherish bridal shop in Ramsbottom. It's around the corner from Richard's parents and we often drive past it so I had to give it a try!
I also wore gold shoes with diamante jewels on the front which matched my belt and Swarovski jewellery.
Richard got his navy suit from Slaters in Manchester. He wore a blue floral tie from John Lewis and a white pocket square also from Slaters. His shirt was from DKNY and his shoes and belt were from Ted Baker.
Our bridesmaids wore long cornflower blue chiffon dresses from a website called Sexyher.. I ordered them online after seeing them at the Wedding Show at Event City – they were perfect! The groomsmen wore the same suit as Richard from Slaters in Manchester – they also wore pale blue ties and white pocket squares.
Our photographer was Emilie May – she was recommended to us by Richard's sister who is a makeup artist and has worked with Emilie in the past. Emilie was also exhibiting at the Wedding Show at Event City so we could look at her work. We loved her relaxed vintage style and the way colours 'popped' in her pictures.
We would definitely recommend Emilie. She was so calm on the day which helped us relax and she also ensured we were organised, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the day and making sure we weren't tied up taking photo after photo. The pictures are lovely – the colours and styling of them are just perfect.
In terms of the flowers, carried a bouquet of mixed blooms. I wanted plenty of colours along with a 'pop' of blue to tie in with the colours of the bridal party. The top table was decorated with a long floral centrepiece and incorporating candles and the guests' tables had vases, small posies and were decorated with burlap, lace and wooden hearts.
The Flower Shop provided the flowers. Linda was lovely, she listened to my ideas and was spot on with her choice of flowers. I didn't really know much about flowers but she was able to understand what I wanted. The arrangements were beautiful, smelt amazing and lasted for weeks afterwards – we even took them on minimoon with us!
For further décor, used old suitcases for people to put cards and gifts in which had belonged to Richard's great grandfathers, so one from each side of his family. I also made hearts from old champagne corks from Epernay in Manchester. We went one evening for cocktails and Richard asked if they had any spare corks; we ended up leaving with around 50 in my handbag! It was a funny evening!
We didn't have a photo booth as such, but we did leave props around the lobby for people to help themselves to and create their own pictures. There was also a blow-up frame! Light up heart shaped signs were dotted about the venue. Large lanterns with pillar candles were placed down the side of the aisle and silk petals along the sides also were hired from Creative Cover Hire. We also hired lace and burlap runners for the top table and table that the registrar used and where we signed the register.
Eaves Hall provided the burlap and lace bows on the back of the chairs as part of their package. As a venue they have great relationships with suppliers, which takes some stress out of the organisation!
For favours, we gave our guests either honey farmed by Richard's dad, Tom, who keeps bees in his back garden in Ramsbottom, or some homemade fudge.
We had a three-tier wedding cake made by Richard's sister, Catriona – she's an excellent cake maker! It had chocolate and lemon tiers but the top tier was my favourite: date and walnut. My grandma used to make it and it's my first option for a birthday cake. Our modern twist was having salted caramel buttercream. Our cake topper read 'Mr & Mrs Paterson' and was from VM Bespoke.
For food at the wedding, we had canapes after the ceremony of mini Yorkshire puddings, tempura prawns, savoury tartlets and Thai chicken cakes served with prosecco and Peroni beer. Our wedding breakfast starters were a choice of tomato soup, duck three ways or a salad of ham hock with crispy hen's egg. For the main, guests could choose lamb, chicken or leek and gruyere tart and dessert was sticky toffee pudding or lemon tart.
In the evening, we ate pork belly pittas, meat and potato pie and vegetable lasagne. We also had a cake made of cheese from Marks and Spencer which came with a 'self-assembly' kit and instructions! Guests were able to help themselves along with chutney, figs, grapes and crackers.
For entertainment, we had a band called Rick Rollers. The lead guitarist and the bass player work with Richard, and we liked their style of incorporating modern songs with classics. They were also about to accommodate our song request for our first dance which was as acoustic version of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers (listen to it, you'll see! The words are lovely!). Towards the end they moved into the faster version to get everyone onto the dancefloor; it worked out really well and our friends and family still talk about it!
We also had a DJ provided by Eaves Hall with the wedding package who played after the band finished.
Would we recommend our venue? Definitely. Eaves Hall is a beautiful venue and has stunning grounds. It's the perfect set-up and runs like a finely-oiled machine. The staff were very friendly and Barry, our Master of Ceremonies, explained everything perfectly and took care of everything we needed. There were plenty of different areas for people to explore, the wedding package made their price competitive and the organisation easier, the food was delicious and we had exclusive use of the venue.
Other than getting married, our favourite part of the day was having our pictures taken around the grounds. We had time to soak in the fact that we were married, the beautiful location and sunshine, and to enjoy time together while getting excited for the rest of the day.
The week after the wedding, we went on a minimoon to Cockermouth in the Lake District. We stayed at Ann's Hill, a cottage owned by Vanessa Steele – she was a lovely host and really looked after us. She left champagne, chocolates and strawberries for our arrival, brought us homemade breakfasts each morning, gave us advice about where to visit and even gave us a lift into town one night! Everything was perfect, from the hospitality, the lovely cottage, the sunshine all week and the long walks we took exploring Ullswater. Richard even got to be captain when we hired a little boat for a trip around the lake.
For our main honeymoon we went to Cuba: it was lovely. We stayed with Melia Cayo Coco and our tour operator was Thomas Cook. It was so relaxing; it was strange spending Christmas Day and New Year's Eve on a beach and by the pool but definitely in a good way! During the holiday we went snorkelling, on a catamaran and to the local town to experience the real Cuba.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be to stick to your plans – it is so easy to second-guess yourself or think your ideas won't work. There were so many times where I thought 'what am I doing?' or worried about what others would think. It's your day; do what makes you happy!
I'd also recommend picking a venue that has good relationships with suppliers – it really did make it easy for us to plan our day.

The Stanly Community College chapter has been busy since last spring, and we're excited about the upcoming year and the "Igniting Innovation" theme.
After last year's SLC, two PBL'ers were among the 12 college students honored at the annual Student Leadership Awards Luncheon. In honor of the city hosting the 2012 Democratic National Convention, the theme of awards program was "Charlotte -- A Leading City!" Honored with college medallions were Jeri Nester and Brandon Harkey.
During the program, PBL received the SCC "Soaring Eagle" award as the Club of the Year for 2011-12.
A full page in the SCC CONNECTIONS magazine featured Stanly's SLC participation and pictures of event winners. The magazine is published twice a year and mailed to every resident in the county and placed in waiting rooms at businesses throughout the county.
In June, Brandon Harkey attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting to present Chamber President Matt Smith with his plaque as the state PBL Business Person of the Year. A picture of the presentation was published in the local newspaper.
Eleven chapter delegates attended the national conference in San Antonio. State Officers Courtney Seidenschmidt and Brandon Harkey participated in the Institute for Leaders program preceding NLC. Four NLC pictures were published with an article in the local newspaper.
Members assisted with the Chamber's Business Expo in October, getting the opportunity to meet business owners throughout the county.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming fall conference and send all our fellow PBL members best wishes for a good year.
