A legend is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic.

Hankagai (Japanese: 繁華街, [Downtown]) is the ninth mission in the Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes storyline and the first Japanese-based level.
The player must escort a Japanese official who is inspecting a troubled city in Japan. Predictably, his visit incurs the wrath of some local Terrorists, who begin an attack on the city. The player is ordered to cover the official's escape, then go back on the offensive to eliminate the Terrorists. At the end, the Terrorist leader takes a schoolgirl hostage, forcing the player to shoot carefully.
- Stay alert for trouble.
- Take out hostiles while VIP is escorted to safety.
- Meet up with VIP protection team.
- Check alley for hostiles.
- Protect the VIP.
- Go after the gang leader.
- Rescue the hostage.
Weapons & Equipment
There are several weapons and equipment available for the player:
|Steyr AUG
|30 / 90
|12 / 100
|Smoke Grenade
The additional weapons are hardly discovered in this mission. The weapons are:
|Where to Find
|25 / 100
|Secretly found beyond the locked door near a vending machine. To open the door, one must shoot the top right of waterfall near a Buddha statue. And it should become unlocked.
|50 / 100
|Found beyond the cracked wall that leads many boxes, the room is before the dumpster part.
|8 / 32
|Found at the side of the plant, shortly after encountering a wounded man.
|20 / 90
|Found at the inside of the window where the enemy sniper stood in that position
|Smoke Grenade
|Found at the inside of the window where the enemy sniper stood in that position
There are rarely found ammunition in this mission. The ammunition are:
- 5.56×45mm - four small magazines and two large magazines for the AUG. Players can get additional ammo from one of their teammates.
- 5.7x28mm - two small magazines and one large magazine for the P90.
- .45 ACP - two small magazines for the USP and UMP.
- 9x19mm - one small magazine. However, there are no Glock, TMP, MP5, or Elites in this mission.
Medical Kit
- Medkit - two medkits can be discovered in this mission and three extra ones can be received by pressing the "USE" key on a male civilian who is encountered after opening a garage door. One is located at an unreachable area which is the alley near Mr. Yoshida's position.
- Wall attached medkit - three wall attached medkits can be discovered in this mission.
- Three individual maps are used in this mission.
- Prior to the part where the player needs to pull a lever to open a gate, if the player climbs up on a ladder near some barrels, he can obtain a large box of 5.56 ammo. If he goes through the door, he'll see a person playing CS:CZ complaining.
- There is a 9mm magazine on a platform above the switch meant to open the gate, but cannot be picked up, since the player is already given all types of ammo in the beginning, and the 9mm weapons, the Glock-18, Dual Elites, TMP, and the MP5 do not make an appearance in the mission.
- Five pieces of music were composed for this mission.
- One of Yoshida's guards has a GSG-9 head and it used the low resolution model.
- A poster bearing two fish that resemble the logo for Mr. Sparkle's Fishworks can be seen. It is a reference to the animated series The Simpsons, specifically, the episode "In Marge We Trust".
- After reaching the garage, the gang leader can be shot before the garage door closes, but this will cause the leader to become stuck and he cannot be killed.
- In the beginning, one of the Terrorists is not a member of the Yakuza and will not shoot until one of the Yakuza members start firing.
- The Terrorist armed with the M72 LAW cannot be eliminated until after destroying the skybridge.
- If the player is crushed by the skybridge, the roof will return to its original place.
- There is a hidden UMP-45 and ammo crate near the start of the mission. To unlock the door, one must shoot at the top right of the waterfall near a Buddha statue.
- The player is given all types of ammunition when the fighting starts.
- Only the player has an AUG, while the rest of the team use M4A1 rifles.
- However, in the beginning, several Kidotais are equipped with MP5s.
- This is the only Japanese Kidotai mission which was not cut from the game.
- Also, this is the only mission in which 2 operatives also use armed civilian models.
- If the player is using cheats, it is possible to pass through walls. Also, this is the only mission in which male civilian used armed enemy models. One of them holding an MP5. Once outside the garage area, the male civilian will shoot at the hostages, operatives and the player with a TMP instead of MP5 used during the start of the mission.
- In the beginning of the mission, it is possible for Yoshida's guard to survive if the player acts fast enough.
- Although the gang leader uses an AWP to kill Tanaka, he uses an AK-47 instead of AWP during the final fight.
- At the beginning, the gang leader watches them from the upstairs at the alley while holding the Leone YG1265 Auto Shotgun when he gets spotted by the player at the garage, he will escape and then close the door. Sometimes when the player spots a gang leader hiding while holding an MP5 during at the middle of the mission, the leader will yell at the player in Japanese, and then run away.
- If the player takes too long to kill the leader, he will run away and cause the mission to fail.
- If the player also uses the console command to enter the building via noclip at the end of the mission, it will also cause the mission to fail.
- If the player shoots or kills any civilians or CT operatives, it will trigger a mission failure.
- The leader can be killed with 3 well placed headshots with the G3SG1. This is important as the sniper rifle can minimize the chance of accidentally hitting any hostages due to its lower rate of fire but high damage per shot unlike fully automatic weapons, and high accuracy.
- There are two clones of Mr. Yoshida meant for different scripted events. This is evident with the command "noclip".
- The Condition Zero cut map Hankagai is based on this mission.
- When a man in a car runs over the gang leader (doesn't die and runs away), despite the the setting is in Japan, the car's steering wheel is on the left side of the car, while in real life, cars in Japan have a steering wheel on the right.

Hegel and Chuck Palahniuk: The Master-Slave Dialectic of Fight Club
by C.H. Newell
In Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel defines consciousness in social terms in that "self-consciousness exists in and for itself when… it so exists for another… it exists only in being acknowledged" (§178). Furthermore, Hegel uses the master-slave dialectic in order to define the process through which an individual attains its self-consciousness. At the beginning of this process, an individual must see the 'other' as she sees herself, as both subject and object. The master-slave dialectic puts two consciousnesses at odds in a situation where "each seeks the death of the other" (§187). However, death is the answer because, as Hegel makes clear, self-consciousness does not simply require the individual in question, but rather the 'other' must continue to live in order for mutual acknowledgement and recognition of consciousness. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk illustrates Hegel's social theory of consciousness and the master-slave dialectic in the relationship between the novel's narrator, his later revealed alter-ego Tyler Durden, as well as their mutual lover Marla Singer. First, existence in and for itself is represented by the narrator first meeting Durden, and the change from subjectivity to objectivity which follows. Secondly, the master-slave dialectic emerges when the narrator comes into conflict with Durden after recognizing they are one person. Finally, the narrator literally kills off his alter-ego, but manages to attain ultimate acknowledgement through Marla whose recognition allows him self-identity. In Hegel's terms, the narrator represents a thesis, Tyler Durden is the opposite antithesis, and Marla Singer reconciles their differences through playing the role of synthesis between them.
Fittingly for Hegel, the narrator of Fight Club is unnamed and is never once referred to outside of himself. At the beginning of the novel, the narrator is self-involved. At the same time he is concerned about identity, in that he fills his apartment with objects in order to give himself a sense of individuality. For instance, he tells the reader "[i]t took my whole life to buy this stuff" (Palahniuk 29), as if they are an indication of his status or who he is as a person. Moreover, the narrator goes on to tell us: "I loved my life. I loved that condo. I loved every stick of furniture. That was my whole life. Everything, the lamps, the chairs, the rugs were me. The dishes in the cabinet were me. The plants were me. The television was me. It was me that blew up." (Palahniuk 78). In the narrator's eyes, he projects his identity onto the objects of his life. However, as opposed to living human beings who can give the narrator a sense of actual self-consciousness in return, these inanimate objects cannot and only serve to isolate him in a world of false subjectivity. Until his apartment is literally blown to bits and all the furniture and other objects inside are destroyed, the narrator is incapable of letting go. Only through destruction of his false subjectivity is he liberated, and given a way towards discovering true self-consciousness. Even further, it is the destruction of his apartment which brings the narrator into closer contact with Tyler Durden.
After the damage to his apartment, the narrator only has one acquaintance to call for a place to stay: Tyler. For the first time in the novel, the narrator says "[d]eliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art" (Palahniuk 31) and picks up the phone to make a call. Immediately after these words Tyler picks up on the other line. The narrator goes virtually unnoticed by almost everyone around him until he and Tyler become roommates. It is only after the recognition of Tyler that they "recognize themselves as mutually recognizing one another" (Hegel §184). In addition, once we later learn that Tyler is the alter-ego of our narrator, this applies directly to Hegel. Once the 'other', or Tyler, is able to recognize the narrator then they both become self-conscious entities. Afterwards, the creation of the Fight Club begins. Tyler and the narrator seemingly take on dual roles of leadership, existing in themselves and for themselves. The whole point of Fight Club comes down to Hegel's concept of "only through staking one's life that freedom is won" (§187). All the men engaged in Fight Club are there because of a search for identity, or as Hegel puts it they are attempting to attain self-consciousness through "seek[ing] the death of the other" (§187). This struggle between the fighters is a perfect example of Hegel, as "death… does away with the truth which was supposed to issue from [the fight]" (Hegel §188). Therefore, the fact these fighters do not kill one another acts as a synthesis for Hegel; neither individual is fully destroyed, though, they have staked their lives and have not "put an end to their consciousness" (§188). Nonetheless, the major shift between the narrator and Tyler Durden into a master-slave dialectic comes later when they enter into a conflict over Marla Singer. Ultimately these two opposing consciousnesses seek to "regard its otherness as a pure being-for-self or as an absolute negation" (Hegel §187). In other words, the narrator and Tyler either must accept the other as a pure self-consciousness, or else there is possibility of death.
After Marla drives a wedge between Tyler and the narrator, their relationship changes from one of mutual recognition to a "life-and-death struggle" (Hegel §187). The narrator begins to act negatively towards Tyler's relationship with Marla, which prompts Tyler into essentially becoming the master. Eventually, the narrator becomes more involved in the work of Project Mayhem after Tyler goes rogue and sets everything up without his knowledge. In becoming the master, Tyler "holds the other [or the narrator] in subjection" (Hegel §190). No longer are they in a balance of mutual recognition. On the contrary, Tyler as master "achieves his recognition through another consciousness" (Hegel §191). Once Marla comes between him and the narrator, Tyler actually disappears for a while leaving the narrator to work on Project Mayhem himself; he basically delegates all the labour in his absence to his "unessential consciousness" (Hegel §192). Finally, it is through his work on Project Mayhem the narrator slowly gets closer to understanding himself as an independent being. Particularly when the narrator discovers he and Tyler Durden are the same person, this is when the life-and-death struggle truly begins. The first instance of this battle comes when Tyler takes the narrator for a ride in a car, which he then proceeds to send flying into traffic. The narrator survives and continues to struggle. Later, Tyler convinces others in Project Mayhem to try and kill the narrator. Again, the narrator survives and continues their struggle. Lastly, this life-and-death struggle does not exactly take the route of Hegel, as the narrator shoots himself: "[W]hen I pulled the trigger, I died… [a]nd Tyler died" (Palahniuk 154). On the one hand, Hegel's theory suggests "life is as essential to it as pure self-consciousness" (§189). On the other hand, the narrator does not die. Even while Tyler dies the narrator is able to retain a sense of self-consciousness, as Marla recognizes his true identity; she never saw him as one or the other, but simply saw him as Tyler. Once Durden is shot and dies, the narrator is able to live on as himself truly because Marla writes to him in the hospital and insists on acknowledging his self-consciousness. Though this situation does not follow Hegel's master-slave dialectic to the letter, the essence of his social theory involving mutual recognition does hold up throughout Palahniuk's novel through an intermingling of consciousnesses, as well as the struggle between the narrator and Tyler Durden towards attaining independent self-consciousness.
Hegel sees self-consciousness as determined through social recognition. That is to say, Hegel believes consciousness does not become self-consciousness until two independent entities acknowledge one another as both being object and subject. At the beginning of Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, the novel's narrator is completely involved in his own subjectivity. Once he meets Tyler Durden, this subjectivity extends to his understanding of Tyler as also being a subjective, individual entity. Furthermore, after this mutual recognition Tyler and the narrator enter into a master-slave dialectic where they each must stake their lives in order to negate the other. In Hegel's theory, neither side must actually die, but rather through staking their life each self-consciousness accepts the reality of death and therefore comes into their own. In opposition, the Palahniuk novel sees Tyler die and the narrator continue living. It is through a third party, Marla Singer, the narrator is able to continue on as a self-consciousness. Marla allows a synthesis between the thesis and antithesis of the narrator versus his alter-ego Tyler, instead of the narrator altogether losing his self-consciousness after Tyler's death.

FRC Staff
Tony Perkins
Tony Perkins is Family Research Council's fourth and longest serving president, joining the organization in August of 2003. Described as a legislative pioneer by the national media, Tony has established himself as an innovative pro-life and pro-family policy and political leader since first being elected to office in 1996.
Recognized as the leading conservative and pro-life voice in the Louisiana Legislature, Tony was a tireless advocate for the family. In an effort to address the growing social problems brought about by the instability of marriage and no-fault divorce, he authored and passed the nation's first Covenant Marriage law in 1997, which captured the attention of policymakers across the country.
Keeping his commitment to serving only two terms, Tony had a significant impact on Louisiana politics as a state representative and as a candidate for the United States Senate in 2002. His firm yet empathetic stance on issues and his unwavering commitment to principle has won him the admiration of his allies and the respect of his adversaries.
While in the Legislature, he authored numerous other policy initiatives, including:
- State Family Impact Statement, requiring state agencies to consider the impact of rules and regulations on families;
- Comprehensive Abortion Clinic regulations;
- Genetic Non-discrimination Act;
- Public School Internet Filtering requirement; and
- Expansion of Louisiana Department of Corrections partnership with faith-based organizations to reduce recidivism rates.
During his tenure as FRC's president, Tony has substantially deepened the organization's influence on Capitol Hill and throughout the country through his frequent attendance at state and regional political and policy events.

Our clinic is in Portsmouth, which is just a short drive from Basingstoke, and we offer consultations with our lead surgeon, Dr Edward Ball. People looking for a hair transplant in Basingstoke choose us because of our high level of expertise as well as our excellent reputation. Dr Ball has himself had hair transplant surgery so is able to answer any questions and concerns you might have about our procedures and treatments for hair loss.
For more information on how we can help you and our approach to hair transplant surgery for Basingstoke patients please contact our hair loss clinic today. We offer a consultation to anyone visiting our local-to Basingstoke hair loss clinic. You can find out more about us, see who we are, and view our clinic in the video below. Dr Edward Ball is globally recognised not just for his expertise, but also the high level of patient after-care.
Hair Loss in Basingstoke: How We Can Help & How it Works
Choosing to have a hair transplant procedure can be a difficult decision to make, especially considering the conflicting information that you might find online. We understand how difficult the decision making process can be. It's a huge decision for any man or woman to make. As Dr Ball has himself undergone hair transplant surgery, he knows just how you might be feeling, and what you might want to know at this stage. It might be that you are unsure if a hair transplant is the right thing for you. If you are suffering with hair loss, live in Basingstoke, and would like advice then call us today and we can tell you what we believe the best course of action would be for you.
After we have met with you or spoken over the phone as part of your consultation regarding hair loss treatment, then the next steps will be for Dr Ball to recommend the right procedure and treatment to suit you as an individual. In terms of how it works, he will transfer healthy hair follicles from permanent areas of your scalp to the areas of hair loss. In the majority of cases involving male or female pattern baldness, this will require Dr Ball transferring healthy follicles from the back and sides of your head to the front or crown.
We are really proud of the fact that we endeavour to only ever recommend a suitable hair loss treatment program to suit the person. The procedures that we offer at our local-to Basingstoke hair loss clinic generally involve the same type of hair transplant process, but they can differ in the way that the follicles are harvested.
So please do get in touch with us today to arrange a visit to our hair loss clinic (Basingstoke patients can typically get to us in about an hour's travel – please have a look at our clinic location page). Alternatively, you can speak to one of our specialists on the phone you will tell you more so you can select the most appropriate hair loss treatment procedure for you.
For more detailed information on our procedures, including the technical approach, then please browse our hair restoration information. You are also able to look through a list of commonly asked questions that patients have asked us before on our FAQs page.
In addition to that, and very importantly, you can view a large gallery of patient before and after photos showing the work that Dr Ball has already completed in the UK from our Hampshire hair loss clinic.
Why Basingstoke Patients Choose Us for Hair Transplants
Basingstoke patients select us for multiple reasons, but for many of them it was the confidence that they received from talking to us during the consultation period as well as the affirmation on our highly professional and ethical approach.
Dr Edward Ball achieves world-class results; but what really sets us apart from other hair loss clinics is the personal care that we offer, with an honest assessment given to each and every patient we treat.
At the heart of our ethos is patient care. We take a lot of time in the pre-surgery process to make sure you are making the correct decision, and then develop a personal hair restoration plan which can serve you for the rest of your life.
Dr Ball is an examiner for the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, as well as being a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Please take the time to find out more about our leading surgeon on his biography page.

thoughtful and blessed
I love it when you finally understand. When you finally get it. It's that kind of feeling of puzzling over something for years and finally figuring (or accepting) the answer.
I love when you realize that God is on your side. That God doesn't just "love you" but that your His daughter. Your part of the family. His family.
I never really thought about the extent of God's love. I mean, yeah, He loves and cares for me.......
Okay, imagine this:
So, you hate God and completely deny Him. Yet He shows grace. Weird? Keep with me. Not only does He show grace, but He loves. Me. The one who denied the God of the universe completely capable of smashing me to oblivion for rejecting Him. Yet not only does He love, but He loves enough to send Jesus to us. His Son, you know, in case you were confused.
So my question to you is this: If God sends His Son whom He loves, how much does He love us?
Think now. Think hard. Or as they say, "bring out your thinking caps" (that's not helpful since I lost mine a long time ago)
How much do you think?
Truly. Think about it.
The answer is this:
As much as He loves Jesus.
And that just blows me away.

wow. just wow.ReplyDelete
Oh, I know...I mean, I don't know. How do you wrap your mind around this? His love is insane. But I love it. And what you said in the first paragraph really hit me -- it's not that we haven't figured it out: it's just that we haven't accepted it yet.ReplyDelete
so true.ReplyDelete
and I love.love.love the picture :D
- Anonymous19 March 2012 at 23:07
More. More than he loves Jesus. If it is possible, then it is true.ReplyDelete
Think about it, if you love someone as much as you love yourself, then will you go to hell to allow that person the chance not to go to hell? No. God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - loves us more than himself.
Side B to that record is that God does not ask us to love him as much as we love ourselves, but more than we love ourselves.
It's crazy...crazy how much God loves us. And we. We don't get it ! We say..."Yeah! God loves me!" but we don't think about it deeply most of the time. And when we do, we are just blown away by it. It's amazing how much God loves us...how much He loves me. Because sometimes, I feel like I am the most unlovable, sinful wretch in the world. But, He still loves me.It's a crazy love...not just a "love ya". But, a passionate love !ReplyDelete
- Alexxus20 March 2012 at 20:30
I love what you said at the beginning; that it isn't that we haven't figured it out yet, it's that we just haven't accepted it yet.ReplyDelete
This whole thing is beautiful...absoloutely beautiful.

Tracy McGrady continues to look for a new home, and that search took him to to a former employer Thursday.
The New York Post reports that McGrady worked out with the Knicks on Thursday, after working out for the San Antonio Spurs earlier in the week.
The 33-year-old McGrady would be making a return to The Big Apple if he were to land with the Knicks. The seven-time All-Star played with the Knicks in 2009-10, averaging 9.4 points per game.
McGrady played in 52 games last season — all off of the bench — with the Hawks. He averaged 5.3 points, the lowest full-season average of his 15-year career.
Yahoo! Sports also reports that McGrady is hoping to find a guaranteed contract, and if he doesn't, he may look to play overseas, perhaps in China.

Read John Paul Jones' Testimony at Led Zeppelin 'Stairway to Heaven' Trial
The surviving members of Led Zeppelin defended themselves in court earlier this year against a claim that they had plagiarized part of their biggest hit, "Stairway to Heaven." It quickly became music's biggest cause célèbre since Robin Thicke lost a similar suit last year. The prosecuting attorney, Francis Malofiy, claimed that the band had ripped off the obscure 1968 Spirit instrumental "Taurus," and his flamboyant presentational style and frequent clashes with the judge was melodramatic enough to warrant a box of popcorn. Ultimately, Led Zeppelin won the trial, but before the jury delivered the verdict to Malofiy and Led Zeppelin lead counsel Peter Anderson, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones all testified in court.
The trial was a rare public reunion for Jones and his former bandmates, with Jones appearing as a witness to support Led Zeppelin's defense. Jones' appearance served mainly to quash the narrative, faithfully recounted for nearly five decades, of how Page and Plant came back from the Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in the Welsh mountains with the beginnings of "Stairway to Heaven" to play to the rest of Led Zeppelin.
Read Jones' full testimony below as recorded in the official court transcript.
- – – – -
- – – – -
(Partial transcript.)
THE CLERK: Please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear that the testimony you shall give in the cause now before this Court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
THE WITNESS: I do.
THE CLERK: Please be seated. You can adjust the microphone as you need it. May I ask that you state your full name for the record and spell your last name.
THE WITNESS: Yes. My name is John Baldwin, professionally known as John Paul Jones.
JOHN BALDWIN, having been first duly sworn, testified as follows:
Q. Good afternoon, sir. You are a member of Led Zeppelin?
A. I am, yes.
Q. And what was your role in Led Zeppelin?
A. Mainly bass player, keyboard player, occasional songwriter.
Q. When did you first publicly perform music?
A. When I was 14 years old. I'm from a musical family.
Q. And what was the context? Where were you performing?
A. Well, I was performing with my father's trio as a bass player and also I was playing organ in church and I was choir master, as well.
Q. When did you first perform professionally?
A. Professionally, I was in smaller bands when I was 16. We were doing local dances and then also American Air Force bases often around the country in England.
Q. When you were 17, were you a member of a band?
A. Yes. There was a fairly major band. We had three Top 10 instrumental hits and toured in England, nowhere else.
Q. What was the name of the band?
A. It was named after the two stars. They were Jet Harris and Tony Meehan, who were, in fact, the rhythm section for another band called The Shadows, which was a much bigger affair.
Q. Thank you. And what did you do next in your career as a professional musician?
A. Tony Meehan, who was the drummer of that band, was also a record producer, and I played on his sessions. And I also became an arranger, a musical director for Andrew Oldham and various other people and then started just doing a lot of sessions.
Q. Okay. As a — does being a session musician require creativity?
A. Oh, yes.
Q. And can you explain why it does?
A. Well, especially in the rhythm section. If you are a string player or trumpet player, you would have all the notes set out for you and you would pretty much play what's written. In the rhythm section, you had much more freedom, and you were just given charts which set out chord symbols, which were — which gave you the harmony, and you would then improvise your parts.
Q. Could you please tell us some of the recording artists that — or records that you were involved with as a session musician or arranger prior to joining Led Zeppelin?
A. Okay. Well, I was musical director for Mickie Most. That was probably the most productive time. That was arranging and playing for Herman's Hermits, Donovan, Lulu. I did "To Sir With Love." Herman's Hermit, I did "A Kind of Hush," "No Milk Today." Donovan, I did "Hurdy Gurdy Man," "Mellow Yellow," all those arrangements. I'm playing on them, too.
Q. Did you work on any recordings by the Rolling Stones?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Which ones?
A. There was — there was a song called "She's a Rainbow" which had a string section on it and piano. I did that.
THE COURT: Okay. Keep your voice up so we can hear you.
THE WITNESS: Okay. Sorry.
THE COURT: Next question.
Q. I don't know if you mentioned it. Did you work on "A Kind of Hush" and on Dusty Springfield recordings?
A. That's right, yes.
Q. Did you work on the music for Goldfinger?
A. Yes. Yes. I was playing bass on Goldfinger and actually Jimmy was playing guitar.
Q. By "Jimmy," you mean Jimmy Page?
A. Jimmy Page, yes. We sat next to each other.
Q. Did you do any arranging or performing on recordings or session work with the Yardbirds?
A. Yes. I did one — one album. Little Games I think it may have been called. That was when I was working with Mickie Most, as well, when the Yardbirds were produced by Mickie Most with just a few things.
Q. And how did you come to be a member of Led Zeppelin?
A. Well, I was doing a lot of work, and probably too much work, and I think my wife could see the warning signs. And she actually read that Jimmy Page was forming a group. He had left the Yardbirds and was forming a band, and she said, "Call him up." And so I did and I said, "Hi, Jim. Do you need a bass player?" And he went, "Yeah."
THE WITNESS: He was — he said he was going up north to — to see a singer, to hear a singer, who he thought also knew a drummer. And the singer was Robert Plant and the drummer was John Bonham.
Q. What year was Led Zeppelin formed?
Q. Did Led Zeppelin play in any countries before first touring in the United States?
A. Yes. We played in Scandinavia.
Q. Did Led Zeppelin play or perform in Denver in December of 1968?
A. Yes, we did. It was the first show.
Q. Who else was at — what other group or groups were at the show?
A. Well, we were opening for Vanilla Fudge, and I understand Spirit was there, too.
Q. And how did you come to understand that Spirit was there?
A. I think later on. I think when this lawsuit came up.
Q. Okay. Have you ever seen Spirit perform?
A. I didn't recall it, no.
Q. Have you ever owned any Spirit albums?
A. No.
Q. Have you ever owned any Spirit singles?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever meet Randy California?
A. Not that I recall.
Q. Did you ever meet him under the name Randy Wolfe?
A. No.
Q. What were your musical tastes back in the late 1960s and '70s?
A. Some classical, but by then mainly jazz and rhythm and blues or soul music, as it was called in those days, Motown, Stax.
Q. Other than as a member of Led Zeppelin for a performance, did you ever go to rock concerts?
A. No, I didn't.
Q. Did Led Zeppelin perform at the Northern California Folk Rock Festival in San Jose, California in May of 1969?
A. Not that I recall.
Q. Where were you when you first heard any version of what became "Stairway to Heaven"?
A. At an old rambling house in Surrey called Headley Grange.
Q. Is that in England?
A. Yes, it is, yes.
Q. Do you recall when that was?
A. No.
Q. And what was your involvement when the musical composition "Stairway to Heaven" was completed?
A. Jimmy first played it to me on the acoustic guitar, and I was on the electric piano nearby. And I think the idea was just to — just to work on the song and figure out what went where, and I was helping him arrange it.
Q. Okay. Where was "Stairway to Heaven" recorded?
A. I'm –
Q. Where was "Stairway to Heaven" recorded?
A. Oh. At the Highland Studios in London.
Q. Do you know who Toby Roberts is?
A. I'm sorry?
Q. Toby Roberts.
A. Toby Roberts, yes.
Q. And who was Toby Roberts?
A. He was involved in the leasing of an aircraft, I think.
Q. And when was that?
A. I couldn't say.
Q. Was it at the beginning of the formation of Led Zeppelin?
A. No. No. We toured by car in those days. The plane came later. It was a big reward. So it must have been '74, '75 maybe.
Q. Okay.
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you. That's all the questions I have for you.
THE COURT: Okay. Cross.
MR. ANDERSON: Oh, I'm sorry. I have one more question, if I may.
THE COURT: Yes.
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you.
Q. Counsel played an audio recording that purports to be you and your voice referring to Mr. Page and Mr. Plant coming back from Bron-Yr-Aur, and that related somehow to "Stairway to Heaven." Do you have any knowledge of "Stairway to Heaven" or what became "Stairway to Heaven" prior to hearing Mr. Page play it for you at Headley Grange?
A. No, I did not.
Q. And — okay. Thank you.
THE COURT: Okay. Cross-examination, counsel.
MR. ANDERSON: Thank you, Your Honor.
MR. MALOFIY: Briefly.
THE COURT: Sure.
Q. Do you recall every concert you were at in 1968?
A. No.
Q. Do you recall every concert you were at in 1969?
A. Every concert?
Q. Yeah.
A. No.
Q. How about 1970?
A. No.
Q. How about 1971?
A. No.
Q. All right. Now, do you remember giving an interview in the early '70s about Jimmy Page and Robert Plant coming back from a cottage called Bron-Yr-Aur with a guitar intro and verse for "Stairway to Heaven"?
A. No.
MR. MALOFIY: Please play 164-A.
THE CLERK: What was the number?
MR. MALOFIY: 164-A. My apologies. 100164 audio.
(Playing of audio tape.)
MR. MALOFIY: Pause it.
Q. Do you recognize that person's voice?
A. Yes, I do.
Q. That's you, correct?
A. Yes, it is.
Q. All right. Did you hear what the recording said?
A. Yes.
Q. All right. And it said that they had come back from a Welsh cottage with a guitar intro and a verse. Did I hear that correctly?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay. Is your memory correct — is your memory as accurate today as it would have been in 1972?
A. Yes.
Q. It is?
THE COURT: He already answered yes.
Q. Do you dispute that statement, sir?
A. I was — it sounds like I was guessing at the time.
Q. So are you guessing today or you were guessing in 1972, a year after it was written?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor. Argumentative.
THE COURT: Sustained.
Q. Are you guessing today or do you know?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor. Argumentative.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I was guessing in 1972.
Q. So your memory is better today than in 1972?
THE COURT: Asked and answered.
THE WITNESS: No. I do.
MR. MALOFIY: I'd like to move that into evidence.
Q. One last thing. In 19- –
THE COURT: Move what into evidence?
MR. MALOFIY: Oh, I think it was already moved into evidence.
THE COURT: I think it was, yeah.
MR. MALOFIY: Yeah. Yeah, I believe it was.
Q. In 19- — before you even played any show on U.S. soil as Led Zeppelin, you were familiar with the band Spirit by playing a portion of their music, "Fresh Garbage," correct?
A. No.
Q. You played the song — you played a portion of the composition "Fresh Garbage" as part of your live set, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And you did that before you played your first show on U.S. soil in — December 26, 1968, correct?
A. As I understand, yes.
Q. Okay. And you, in fact, learned of that piece of music, I believe your testimony was, from the radio or the TV?
A. Well, either the radio or the TV, yes.
Q. Did any of the other members of Led Zeppelin introduce it to you or did you learn of that song on your own?
A. I can't recall.
Q. Now, did you introduce that song to the band or did someone else?
A. I can't recall.
Q. And of the thousands of artists that you could have chose to cover their music, you covered a song by a relatively somewhat known band at that point called Spirit, correct?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor. Lacks foundation.
THE COURT: Overruled. If you know.
THE WITNESS: What I did was just pick a two-bar bass riff which popped out of whatever — however I heard it and played that. I didn't know who it was, what it was. It was a catchy little riff, it had a little quirky time thing, and it caught my ear.
Q. Do you believe it was in your subconscious and you just started playing it or do you have a –
A. No.
Q. You believe you — you consciously copied that music, correct?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Sustained as to the question.
Q. Did you consciously lift the piece of — the musical composition of the bass riff in your song —
MR. ANDERSON: Objection.
Q. — or the medley — excuse me — or the medley "As Long As I Have You"?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor. It's argumentative, the phrase "lift."
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: I just took that two-bar bass riff. I didn't know where it was from. I just heard it.
Q. Did Mr. Page ever tell you that he had — he was a fan of Spirit?
A. No.
Q. Did he ever share with you that he was a fan of Spirit in the '60s during the time when the first four albums came out?
A. No.
Q. Did he ever share with you that he has six — five albums of Spirit in his collection today, which he bought during the time?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Argumentative. Mischaracterizes the testimony.
MR. MALOFIY: I'll withdraw the question.
THE COURT: Okay.
Q. Did Mr. Page ever tell you that he had five albums of Spirit, one being a double album, in his record collection?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Relevance.
THE COURT: Overruled. Did he ever tell you that?
THE WITNESS: No.
Q. Do you know anyone else that you're — that you acquaint with that has five or more albums of Spirit?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever ask Robert Plant if he has albums of Spirit?
A. No.
Q. Did you ever check your record collection to see if you had any albums of Spirit?
A. Yes.
Q. And is the answer no?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Vague and ambiguous.
THE COURT: No, he answered earlier. He said he didn't have any albums of Spirit. This time he said, "Yes, I have checked to see if I had any."
MR. MALOFIY: Understood. Thank you.
Q. Initially, when you were playing as a session musician, you were playing other people's music, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And in playing other people's music, they would give you sheet music and you would follow it. So your skill as a bass guitarist or other multi-instrumentalist would be to put down in recorded music to be distributed or to be sold, correct?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Compound. Vague and ambiguous and argumentative.
THE COURT: You lost me on it, too. Why don't you state the question again.
Q. As a session musician, you would play sheet music or you would play music for other people, correct?
A. Correct, yes.
Q. And this wasn't original compositions, these were compositions of other people that you were playing for, correct?
A. Correct.
Q. In doing so, you would agree that Led Zeppelin initially, when it was first formed, had to jump on tour immediately, correct?
A. I'm sorry. I didn't understand.
Q. I'm sorry. Let me restate it. When Led Zeppelin was first formed, you immediately went touring with Mr. Page, correct?
A. Correct.
Q. And is that because there was obligations, tour obligations, that were still outstanding from his prior tour –
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Lacks foundation. Calls for a conclusion.
THE COURT: If you know. If you know.
Q. — from his prior band? Excuse me.
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Okay. And in doing so, did you have to come up with — or did you attempt to come up with new original material in a very short period of time?
A. Yes.
Q. And in doing so, would you agree that you took covers and you played those covers as part of your live sets often?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Vague and ambiguous.
THE COURT: Overruled. You may answer.
THE WITNESS: Yes.
Q. And would you agree that all of the staple songs that you were playing in late 1968 and early 1969 were covers of other people's music?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection. Vague and ambiguous.
THE COURT: Overruled.
THE WITNESS: No.
THE COURT: You got about two minutes.
MR. MALOFIY: Yes. 538 very quickly. Can we pull that up? I believe we used it already in this case, and I believe it was admitted. If it's not, I ask for its admission. It's just a track list from Gonzaga, which we used in Mr. Page's depo- — Mr. Page's testimony.
THE COURT: Is there any objection, counsel?
MR. ANDERSON: Still trying to call it up. It's not one of the –
MR. MALOFIY: Would you like to take a look, Mr. Anderson? We have it right here.
MR. ANDERSON: Absolutely.
(Counsel confer off the record.)
MR. ANDERSON: Relevance, Your Honor. I do now know what it is under a different exhibit number.
THE COURT: Okay. Overruled.
MR. MALOFIY: May we publish it to the jury?
THE COURT: Yes.
(The exhibit was displayed on the screen.)
Q. Sir, do I refer to you as Mr. Baldwin? I'm not sure what name you prefer.
A. Mr. Jones will do.
Q. Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones, you'd agree that "Train Kept A-Rollin" was a cover song that you performed?
A. Yes. I thought they were all Yardbirds songs.
Q. Is that what you thought?
A. Yes.
Q. "I Can't Quit You." Do you understand that's a cover song?
A. Yardbirds.
Q. You believe it was the Yardbirds song?
A. Yes.
Q. "As Long As I Have You" with the "Fresh Garbage" melody contained therein, did you understand that to be cover songs?
MR. ANDERSON: Objection, Your Honor, to "Fresh Garbage" melody. I believe that is what counsel said. It misstates –
THE COURT: Why don't you restate the question, but this will be your last question.
Q. The other songs here, "As Long As I Have You," "Dazed and Confused," "White Summer," and "How Many More Times," they were all cover songs that you were performing with Led Zeppelin, correct?
A. Yardbirds songs, yes.
Q. You believed them to be Yardbirds songs?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Did Mr. Page ever tell –
THE COURT: Counsel. Counsel.
MR. MALOFIY: Thank you, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Any redirect?
MR. ANDERSON: Just briefly, Your Honor.
Q. Counsel asked you about session musicians and you — and playing other people's music. As part of your work as a session musician in the 1960s, did you just play what was written on sheet music that was given to you?
A. Sometimes the parts were very concise with written — written notes. Other times, they would just be chord symbols and then you would have to make up your own part, which, with the rhythm section, happened quite a lot.
Q. Okay. And did you do a lot of session work in the rhythm section?
A. Yes, I did. It was the whole rhythm section.
Q. What do you mean by the "rhythm section"?
A. Guitars, bass, drums.
Q. Okay. Thank you.
THE COURT: Okay. You may step down, sir. You may step down.
THE WITNESS: Thank you.
THE COURT: Any reason why this witness can't be excused? Okay. You're free to go. Thank you for coming in today, sir.

These videos were created by a group that enjoy having a fresh young amateur girl, multiple girls or a seasoned MILF suck cocks with their willing mouths until hot loads shoot all over their tongues, down their throats or all over their tits. The best part about Glory Hole is how it's so anonymous. It seems like once we have a girl visit they always want to come back for more. Sometimes they even bring their friends with them. Not much is better than getting anonymous blowjobs from two willing babes that love to suck and swallow a strangers cum.

Bye bye BuzzFeed: The folly of individualism and the personal essay
Last spring, Jia Tolentino wrote an article in The New Yorker declaring the end of what has arguably been the biggest literary trend of the 21st century: The personal essay. This trend has been bolstered by a subgenre of often pointless confessionals. These have inundated publications over the last decade for three major reasons: They're simple… Keep Reading

"The head of the Central Muslim Board of Russia, Talgat Tadzhuddin, has been awarded a Russian Orthodox Church order for 'promoting interfaith peace and accord," Archbishop Nikon told a conference titled 'Islam and the state.'
"The Russian Church expresses its gratefulness to Mufti Tadzhuddin for training Muslim leaders who contribute to interfaith cooperation by their activities," the archbishop said, reading out a congratulatory message from the Moscow Patriarchy.
Tadzhuddin, who has held his post since Soviet times, has been loyal to the Kremlin, condemning separatist fighters and extremists. The mufti has however been in the headlines in recent years for his remarks about plans for gay pride parades in Moscow.
The cleric is expected to receive the order of St. Prince Daniel of Moscow - famous for policies aimed at avoiding bloodshed during the Tatar-Mongol invasion of Russia - when he visits Moscow in the near future.

ATI 5000 Series Roundup
Published: 20th January 2010 | Source: ASUS | Price: £117 - £540 |
So what conclusion can be drawn from todays testing?
Firstly I'm sure a lot of you have come into todays review with a preconceived notion of exactly what card you'd like. In previous times the general consensus was to purchase the highest priced card you could afford and stretch if possible to the next one up. For single card purchases that would lead you into looking at the 5970 and pretty much stopping there. So let's start at the top.
If our tests show anything it's that the £540 HD5970 is a poor purchase regardless of how much money you have available. Firstly it's the hottest card on test when run at stock settings. The only hotter card is the overclocked 5770. So straight away you have more heat to dispel and a high power draw. Secondly it's enormous at just over a foot long. There aren't a lot of cases around that will take such a behemoth, although we'd imagine anyone with over 500 notes to spend on their graphics will have a suitable case. Finally, and most tellingly, it just doesn't add up on a pure performance level. An overclocked HD5870 is close in most tests and £200 less, and the HD5850 Crossfire setup at stock speeds easily keeps up with even the overclocked HD5970 and is still £100 cheaper. An overclocked HD5850xf setup would blow it away. So if it suits neither the performance junky nor those looking for value for money, what should you buy instead?

The HD5870. This is an amazing card. Truly outstanding. As a single card solution it is the equal of the last-generation king the Radeon 4870X2 at stock settings but with the power savings and heat reduction you'd expect from a single chip. It also clocks incredibly well. We managed to get the core to 1GHz on air and it coped although it was a little too hot for stability in our tests. Nonetheless being £200 cheaper than a HD5970 you could spend half of that saving on a water-block and then the sky is nearly the limit.Truly one of the best ways to spend around £330 you can find.
In Crossfire the HD5870 is far and away the fastest graphics solution we've tested. It reached, Crysis notwithstanding, the magical plateau where you actually wished for even higher settings because no matter how hard you pushed the game settings, or the AA/AF levels, it just laughed and carried on crunching numbers. A 4870X2 still stands up as an exceptional performing card and so with a HD5870 Crossfire setup being so brutally fast and its performance CPU limited, if you can afford the arse-clenching £650 price tag then it will serve for many years to come. Amazingly even that price doesn't seem as silly as it appears because if you brought a new high end single card every couple of years then you'd spend that anyway.

Moving down the list to the HD5850 this was the little train that could. It's around £100 cheaper than a HD5870 at £230 and performance is around where you'd expect for the price. But my word does it clock. We hit a 1000MHz on the core and could probably have gone a little further. In its overclocked state it just about kept up with the HD5870 so if you're on a bit of a budget then it's easily worth considering. Again price comes into play when looking at Crossfired HD5850s. For a decent Crossfire setup you'd be looking around the £450 mark and the performance slots into about where you'd expect. Better than the £100 cheaper HD5870, about the same as the £100 more expensive HD5970 and quite a bit slower than the £200 more HD5870 Crossfire. Certainly on a performance standpoint the HD5870xf setup is where it's at, but the HD5850xf performs admirably by keeping up with the ever-more disappointing HD5970.

Finally the little engine that could, the HD5770. Naturally it doesn't give the immense performance of its bigger brothers, but conversely one can be had from around £115. Playable frame-rates at such high resolutions and detail whilst still allowing for immense AA settings it starts to look like it will be the bargain the 4770s were in the last generation. You could get Crossfire overclocked HD5770s for the same price as a vanilla HD5850 and suddenly we're all stroking our beards and nodding at the possibilities. If "Bang for Buck", or I guess as we're in the UK "Excitement per Euro" or "Pleasure Per Pound", is an important consideration then this is probably the best of the lot. Certainly if you're building a system to a reasonable budget then it has to be considered.

Final Thoughts
Phew. I hope you enjoyed that all as much as we did. Making a definitive "buy this" statement isn't easy at all as there are some people who want the best regardless, others who want value for money, still others who just want a cheap card that can game a bit and finally those who want future potential.
Generally our advice can be whittled down to the following :
1) HD5870 Crossfire is as good as it gets, with a price to match. Water-cooled these would be mind-blowing in an OC Crossfire setup.
2) HD5850 is very impressive especially in Crossfire and best for those who can't justify a months wages on eye candy.
3) HD5770 is quite a pocket rocket and we look forward to testing a Crossfire setup, coming soon to OC3D.
4) HD5970 is over-priced and under-performing. HD5850 Crossfire is as quick for less, HD5870 Crossfire annihilates it for £100 more.
Whichever of the three single GPU cards we tested today you decide upon, you'll be pleased with the performance.The ASUS voltage modified BIOS certainly makes clocking of these cards a joy and we very quickly reached massive gains in a stable manner. If anything we reached the thermal limits of the cooler long before we reached the performance limits of the chip.
We really can't rate the BIOS enough to enable us to hit mega core speeds with stability and a total lack of artifacts. For this reason we happily give it the innovation award.
Once some third party cooling solutions hit the market the ATI Radeon 5 series will truly shine and the Nvidia GF100 needs to be very special indeed to sway consumers.
Many thanks to ASUS for the cards on test today. Discuss this in our forums.

The main modules qtbase and qtdeclarative were already merged with
Debian's Qt 5.3.0 packaging, including the moving of include files in
all Qt modules. Some more merging will be needed at least in case if
Debian changed something between 5.2.1 and 5.3.0. I'll do direct syncs
of the suitable modules to the PPA as well. Traditionally the most

suit offered to the particular person, as assert that Christ himself had been a second time stripped by the soldiers of Pilate, bewailing his fate as being again taken, condemned, and, as it were, put to death and consigned to the grave, and guarded for three days by soldiers ; not, as the apostle says, " Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more," but he is now in his glorified flesh ; and as the Lord Jesus Christ said to Peter when he asked him, " Lord, whither goest thou ?" he said, " I go to Rome to be crucified a second time." Then Peter understood that he was speaking of his own passion, inasmuch as our Lord, by the mercifulness of his pity, suffers in his saints. And as he says in another place, " What you have done to one of the least of these my children, whether it be honour or dishonour, know that I shall feel the same thing." When, therefore, he had said these and many other similar things concerning the disaster of pope Boniface, he laid his spoilers, and all who consented to them, and all who were in any respect privy to their deed, under a double anathema ; insisting and dwelling very much on this expression, " If they have done this in the green wood, what will they do in the dry ?" And as he asserted that lightnings and coruscations of divine vengeance often unexpectedly overwhelmed wicked men, and that he had been elected and placed in the seat of the Elders, to announce their wickedness to the people, and to warn them to repent, he now warned them to make atone

And so, pope Benedict died in the city of Perugia, on the seventh day of the month of July, when he had ruled his see eight months and fifteen days. And after his death a violent dispute arose among the cardinals, so that for nine months they could not agree with one another about electing a pontiff.

Being the parent of a teenager can often be fraught with drama.
Our wonderful Creator-Parent, Kathy Haskin, came across the "Empowering Parents" blog of James Lehman, MSW – in particular one entitled "'I'm a Victim, So the Rules Don't Apply to Me!' How to Stop 'Victim Thinking' in Kids."
In this one, Lehman encourages parents to be Challengers (in the language of The Power of TED*) and to not buy into the tendency of adolescents to play the Victim game. While his blog is specifically about teens and parenting, his message is a helpful frame for responding to anyone who is coming from the role of Victim in the Dreaded Drama Triangle.
He closes with the following two paragraphs, offering a poignant perspective on Victimhood in our society:
"It's important to confront victim thinking in our children if we don't want thinking errors to become a way of life. A few years ago, there was a very in-depth study done on criminals in the California prison system. One of the important things it showed was that people who return to prison repeatedly see themselves as victims: victims of poor childhoods, of society, of poor parenting, of poverty. And what happens is, as long as they see themselves as victims, they don't feel as if they have to take responsibility to change their antisocial behavior.
When you're a victim you can always find a way to be a victim. If you're the parent of teenagers, you know that many of them find a way to think of themselves as victims much of the time. Remember, although your child is going to develop thinking errors automatically, it's up to us as parents to challenge that victim thinking and hold our children accountable."
It's up to us to challenge "victim thinking" – wherever we find it!

How old is Keeley Hawes? Bodyguard actress playing Julia Montague who also starred in Line of Duty and The Durrells
Her roles in Bodyguard and Line of Duty have made her one of the biggest names on British TV
KEELEY Hawes has become a household name thanks to her roles no hit shows like Spooks and Line of Duty.
Her big break came in the BBC spy drama and she has not looked back since. Now she's starring in new BBC drama Bodyguard.
Who is Keeley Hawes? What shows has she been in?
Keeley, 42, was born February 10, 1976, and is an English actress.
She trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School.
Keeley kicked off her career in the film version of The Last September (1999).
But it has been her roles on TV that have launched her to stardom, they include:
- Kitty Butler in Tipping the Velvet
- Zoe Reynolds in Spooks (2002-2004)
- Rosie Kennedy in The Vicar of Dibley (2006)
- Alex Drake in Ashes to Ashes (2008-2010)
- Lady Agnes in the reboot of Upstairs, Downstairs (2010-2012)
- Detective Inspector Lindsay Denton in Line of Duty (2014–2016)
- Louisa Durrell in the ITV series The Durrells (2016 to present)
- Julia Montague in the BBC drama Bodyguard (2018)
In 2017 she was famed for starring in the Ford Fiesta Advert.
Is Keeley married?
Keeley married the DJ and cartoonist Spencer McCallum in December 2001, when their son, Myles, was almost two years old.
They divorced in 2004 and later that year she married Matthew Macfadyen, her Spooks co-star.
Their first child, Maggie, was born in December of that year.
Their second child, Ralph, was born in September 2006.
More on Keeley Hawes
What is Bodyguard about?
Following a successful stint in the military, veteran police officer David Budd is assigned as the lead protection officer to the current Home Secretary.
Julia Montague has been tasked with pushing through a counter-terror bill which will massively increase the range and scope of so-called 'snooper' powers.
Because of the controversial nature of the legislation and her own political ambitions, Montague is a high-profile target and requires around-the-clock protection.
The series focuses on the relationship between the two and Budd's split loyalties between his duty and his own principles.

North Shore Community College is responsible for contacting all students to collect amounts owed on their student accounts. The school may contact students by billing statements, outreach efforts by phone or email and final notices.
Student accounts that are deemed delinquent because of non-payment will be referred to the State to intercept the amount due. The payment can be intercepted from the State and/or Federal tax refunds under Massachusetts General Law (MGL) C.62d and C.7a. The past due balance will also be assigned to an outside collection agency under MGL C.7a and 815 CMR 9.00 and an additional 18% collection fee will be added to the total due. Students will be held liable for the total amount due including the collection fees. Also, students who have a past due balance will not be allowed to register or request transcript(s) until the balance is paid in full.
Note: Student account debt is considered an "educational benefit overpayment or loan" as defined by the US Courts in accordance with 11 U.S.C section 523(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code and therefore is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Although this issue has been discussed at least twice on this blog (see here and here), I would like to bring out a point that I saw on another blog. The discussion is why the Talmud says that converts are as difficult to the collective Jewish nation as leprosy.
Perhaps one can explain that it is the reluctance to accept converts which is so dangerous for the Jewish nation. The Talmud relates[1] that Timna, a princess of the royal family of Seir, wanted to convert, but was rejected by Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. She was so desperate to become part of the Abrahamic family that she became a concubine to Eliphaz[2], the son of Esau. The Talmud says that because Abraham, Issac, and Jacob rejected this woman's request for conversion, they were punished by this woman's descendants, the Nation of Amalek. (Amalek was a son of Eliphaz and Timnah). The Alter of Slabodka, Rabbi Nosson Zvi Finkel (1849-1927), writes that Abraham—who was known for having helped many converts—obviously rejected Timna because he saw some bad character traits in her, yet nonetheless, his family was still punished for refusing her. Abraham reasoned that it was better to have these bad characteristics as an external threat to the Jewish Nation in the form of Amalek, than to have these bad traits grafted into the Jewish Nation should she have been allowed to convert. However, Abraham, Issac, Jacob erred because they judged her based on an internal personality which they saw in her rather than on something she herself actually did. Had she actually committed atrocities because of her evil qualities, then the forefathers would have been justified in not accepting her just as the Torah tells the Jews not to accept the Ammonites and Moabites into the nation because of they acted on their innate cruelty[3]. At a conference for the Jewish Eternal Family in Israel (in July 2006), Rabbi Reuven Feinstein explained that the difficulty in accepting converts is the punishment for rejecting potential converts or delaying their process (especially by not giving them their proper papers immediately) because the Talmud says[4] after certain inquiries, one should "accept him immediately."
[1] Sanhedrin 99b
[2] See Rashi to Genesis 36:12 who says that Timna was actually the daughter of Eliphaz who committed adultery with the wife of the King of Seir, and the Sifsei Chochmim says that she was nonetheless raised as a princess because people did not realize who her real father was.
[3] See Deuteronomy 23:4-5
[4] Yevamos 47a

Accepting Converts

I'm sorry, but that is an unacceptable סברא because Chazal accepted Munbaz (son of Heleni HaMalka) as a ger even though he was a son of a relationship between two siblings, so I don't think that is a reason to not accept a ger.
