Thing is – I've been chewing on something for a long time. This is, in fact, my New Year's post – delivered to you about 3 months late. Because on January 1, 2019, I sat in the quiet of my room, taking stock of my 2018 and peering into a new year.
I was worn and bruised. And I needed more Jesus. But His answer wasn't really what I was expecting.
And here I sit, 3 months later, still trying to digest it and work it into my system. To believe something is one thing – to make it a part of you, something different altogether. So I have been a bit silent.
There's no way to sugar coat it – I ended last year a bit out of tune. A summer adventuring across this country, seeing God's glory in a thousand places and watching Him work miracles. Meanwhile, I felt like this mama's heart couldn't really absorb it. My boy was in a world of pain – with migraines that we couldn't seem to stop and all number of challenges stemming from that.
I came home longing for peace. Longing to be restored. And life picked me up and swirled away with me into a sort of busy-ness that withers my soul and leaves me shallow of spirit.
I sought Jesus in brief quiet moments. I found Him in breathtaking beauty – and wonder would beckon. I would ask Him to fill all my moments with His peace. With His glory. But too often I would rush around trying to "fix" it all by myself.
That's where I found myself as I sat in the quiet of my room that New Year's Day, I asked Jesus once again to fill my life with peace. To flood my home with wonder. To fix this crazy I had inhabited.
What kind of question is that? You are the King of Peace, for crying out loud!
That's when it hit me. I had been asking for more of Jesus all these months, but looking right past Him at what He offered. I wanted His peace. I wanted Him to "fix" my crazy. But would I be content in all this crazy with just Him?
Is Jesus, just Jesus, truly enough for me?
I know Jesus promises great things to those who trust Him. And I know it is a good thing to rejoice in the healing He brings and the blessings He pours out on us. But what about when life is a mess? And you don't feel that peace. The loneliness invades your soul until you feel like you can't breathe. And there don't seem to be any answers to the hurt you see all around you?
I opened up my Bible last week to these words: "He Himself is our peace" (Ephesians 2:14). Oh how my soul needed that reminder! Because how quickly I forget and fall back into old habits. Looking for the effects of His peace rather than for Jesus alone to be my peace.
And I have no more words. Isn't this what it all boils down to? Knowing God and being known by Him?
Is this the secret that kept Joseph true when he was trapped in a hole in the ground – and later in prison for a crime he didn't commit?
The promise that kept Abraham faithful when God asked the impossible?
The reality that kept Esther grounded when facing the annihilation of her people?
The key to Noah's obedience when it seemed ridiculous?
The truth that made the disciples bold and unflinching in the face of death?
Maybe God sees peace differently than we do. When it is embodied in the face of Jesus and not in our circumstances, it takes a very different hold of us. And empowers us in ways we cannot quite comprehend.
I don't think Jesus means the kind of rest that comes from our circumstances, but the kind of rest that invades your spirit with His presence.
I was going to end here – but then this truth! The blazing honesty of Spurgeon plunged into my soul. So here – some meat to chew on, for those who want to dive deeper. Let this truth change you and help bring rest to your soul!

Limited double metallic gold colored vinyl LP pressing released to coincide with the album's 20th Anniversary. This package comes with an 8-page booklet that includes rare images from the original album and single photo shoots. The booklet also includes a very special pair of revelatory new essays: 1) an appreciation of Maxwell and his music by noted R&B scholar, music/culture critic, journalist and filmmaker Nelson George; and 2) a behind-the-scenes reminiscence on the making of Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite penned by music industry veteran Mitchell Cohen, who, as Senior Vice President of A&R at Columbia Records, signed Maxwell to the label and helped shepherd the music from raw concept to full realization. Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite was released on April 2, 1996, by Columbia Records. Maxwell recorded the album between 1994 and 1995 at Electric Lady Studios, RPM, Sorcerer, and Chung King Studios in New York City, and CRC Studios in Chicago. The record's music features a mellow, groove-based sound with elements of funk, jazz, smooth soul, and quiet storm. A concept album, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite was composed as a song cycle that focuses on an adult romance, based in part on Maxwell's personal experiences.

Where Are They Now? Part XXVII
In recent times Blues have been blessed with goalscorers getting hat-tricks; Marlon King this season, Nikola Zigic (who got 4 against Leeds) and Chris Wood last season immediately spring to mind as players who have walked off with a match ball. The player I'm going to talk about today not only scored a hat-trick for Blues but managed three of them in 11 months in a Blues shirt – not bad considering he wasn't a striker. I am of course referring to Jonathan Hunt.
Jonathan Hunt
I know people will disagree with me here but I reckon Hunt was probably one of our better players under Barry Fry. Like Ricky Otto, Hunt followed Fry from his previous charges Southend United to St Andrews (he'd also played under him at Barnet) in September 1994 and he played at Blues for three years. In the eleven months from signing for Blues Hunt got three hat-tricks; in the 5-3 win over Peterborough in the Auto Windscreens in September 1994, the 5-0 win over Crewe in November 1994 and then in the following season the 3-1 win over Norwich City in August 1995.
In one hundred and two appearances, Hunt got twenty-five goals and was top goalscorer for Blues in the 95-96 season with 15. However, after the departure of Barry Fry Hunt found it difficult to get first team football and was moved on by new manager Trevor Francis for £500,000 to Derby County, recouping the full sum spent on him by Fry.
Derby were in the top flight at the time and the midfielder did get to play (and score) in the Premier League but in two seasons he only made seven starts and having been loaned out to Sheffield United and Ipswich Town of the Championship. Hunt made the move to the Blades permanently in 1999 in a player exchange for Vas Borbokis.
Unfortunately for Jonathan his injuries really started to bite now. He had struggled with them back at Blues and Fry had had to look after him to get the best out of him but by the time he had joined Sheffield United in 1999 his back and pelvis were really flaring up. Hunt made 22 league appearances for the Blades, but found himself out of favour when Neil Warnock was appointed manager and was dumped on the transfer list. Hunt found himself out on loan at Division Two side Cambridge United and then at the end of the 1999/2000 season Sheffield United paid up his contract and let him go.
Hunt then pitched up at Wimbledon, but again appeared only intermittently and almost moved to rejoin Barry Fry at Peterborough United in the winter of 2001 before changing his mind. Released at the end of that season having made twelve league appearances for the Dons, it was 12 months before he got another club – and in what might seem a twist of fate he ended up at the Posh. Despite Fry saying he would give Hunt a debut almost straight away the midfielder never played in Peterborough colours and in the summer of 2003 found himself released.
At the age of 32, with his back and pelvis in pieces Hunt retired from professional football. However, it was at this time he was to find his new calling – Hanna Somatics. Having discovered the therapy as a way to rid his body of the pain he had suffered throughout his professional career, Hunt studied it and is now a qualified therapist – except instead of working with humans he is an Equine Hanna Somatic Practitioner, working with racehorses.
There must be something in it as in February 2008, at the age of 36 Hunt joined St Albans City of the Conference South on a short-term deal. Playing for his former team-mate at Blues Steve Castle, Hunt made 49 appearances for the club which he'd ironically started out at as an 18-year-old. He stayed at St Albans until the end of the 08/09 season, when he moved on initially to Harrow Borough before signing up with Hornchurch of the Ryman League. In 2012 Hunt moved on to Enfield Town of the Ryman League and last week he made history, becoming the oldest ever goalscorer for Enfield at the age of 41 as he scored in the 2-0 win over Harrow Borough.
It's been some journey for Hunt – from triple hat-trick goalscorer at Blues to horse whisperer and still breaking records now at his new club.

Good old boy tell him I know a Sunday league team that would look after him
Art Watson says:
I don't disagree with you-I thought he was a very good player who always appeared to have plenty of time on the ball..
Rave on says:
Shearer, ward and hunt were a brilliant midfield in that promotion winning team of 94/95
Some great memories of that season
prewarblue says:
He was a good player for us,,,,,pity we dont have a player of the same quality now
James King says:
Really enjoyed this piece. Remember my friend at school who was a Birmingham fan raving about Jonathan Hunt and always being disappointed to see him slide down the divisions. Great to hear that he's found a way to overcome his injuries and that he's still playing at a decent level.
Paul Carter - The Peoples Favourite says:
A good signing who we recouped our money on and who stodd out as skilful at a time when this quality was sadly bereft at the Blues.
Saw all his hat tricks including the one at Peterboro which set us on the road to Wembley.
Big Al says:
I always thought watching him play that he was good enough for the premier league. One of the best attacking midfielders I've ever seen in a Blues shirt. Might need to look this Hanna lass up.
Blueboy88 says:
Hunt did seem to be a cut above, with seemingly effortless time on the ball.
I always felt he had another gear to go up , which was frustrating.
Peter Shearer was also magnificent in the promotion year ,a leader & goalscorer from central midfield , & surely but for injuries would have played at a higher level .
The best player under Barry Fry ? & theres plenty to choose from , Liam Daish , a great defender , a great leader , and a winner . How we could do with a Daish now..
Richard Granfield says:
Jonathan Hunt was a rare footballer who was as strong with his right foot as his left, in other words two-footed.
Santi Cazorla of Arsenal is a present day example.Bobby Charlton was a classic example.
However, being only able to kick with one foot didn't hinder Puskas,Maradona.Beckham and Alan Ball.
The best player under Barry Fry?
I like Jose, Pesch, Claridge, francis, Ward, Daish, Johnno but there was that many I've probably forgotten a load.
Hey Dan, you being a journo, do you have a list of all the players Bazza signed.
Loved the bloke, a perfect fit for Blues.
The Legend Martin Grainger , would be right up there..
Trevor Honnor says:
"I know people will disagree with me here but I reckon Hunt was probably one of our better players under Barry Fry"
almajir says:
Paul Carter - The Voice Of Reason says:
Post it then mate
Would be an interesting read
I went a bit nuts with the bold and only meant to bold the one of our better players under Barry Fry bit in contrast to The Peoples Favourite incorrectly quoting "The best player under Barry Fry?"
I wasn't disagreeing with you Almajir :o)
Dave Sherlock says:
A hat trick from midfield that sounds good when was the last time a blues player did that
Gary McSheffrey ?
I saw Mcsheffrey score a hatrick against Preston but he was playing as a striker that day.
Bring back Bazza says:
I remember one really cold night, in an early round cup game at a very sparse stans (can't remember who it was against), Hunty was giving the ball away all game. He got the ball about 35 yards out and I gobbed 'pass it you ******* idiot', just as he smacked it into the back of the net…..
Good player when he wanted it.

Tire Identification Numbers: The Answer to Most of Your Tire Problems
Home » Blog » Defective Auto Parts » Tire Identification Numbers: The Answer to Most of Your Tire Problems
Purchasing tires may not be an exciting or fascinating endeavor, but it is an important one. Understanding the information available in the tire identification number (TIN) can provide you with valuable information and resources that will allow you to make wise purchasing decisions, stay updated on recalls and be aware of the age of your tires.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires tire manufacturers provide pertinent information about the tire's manufacture, size and type in the TIN located on the sidewall of every tire produced and sold in the United States. Make sure the tires you purchase contain a TIN.
Locating the Tire Identification Number
You can find your tire's TIN on the sidewall. It is a 10- to 12-digit code that follows the letters "DOT" (Department of Transportation). The NHTSA requires that both sidewalls include the TIN, or at least a partial TIN.
It does not require that the entire code be provided on both sidewalls, so if you find an incomplete code at first, check the other sidewall for the full 10- to 12-digit code.
Find a Personal Injury Lawyer,
Information Included in the Tire Identification Number
Tire identification codes are comprised of both letters and numbers. The first two digits of the code will identify the plant that produced the tire. Every tire manufacturing plant is assigned a unique two-digit identifier, and by looking at the sidewall code on your tire, you can determine who made your tire and where the plant is located.
The following two digits of the tire identification number provide information on the tire size. The NHTSA has not created any set codes for tire size, so you may need to find out how the manufacturer lists size on the sidewall.
The Rubber Manufacturer's Association has published a suggested code system for tire sizes, however not all manufacturers subscribe to these guidelines so it's important that you find out what your particular code means if you're trying to determine the size of your tires.
The following three to four digits will classify the type of tire and are again a set of codes established by each tire manufacturer. This information is typically used to track tire returns and purchase information by the tire company and may or may not be present in their entirety on your tire. It is an optional portion of the sidewall code but most if not all manufacturers make use of it.
The final three to four digits of the tire identification number will identify the date your tire was manufactured. Tires made after the year 2000 will use a four-digit identifier. The first two digits provide the week of the year in which the tire was made; the last two digits mark the year. So if the last four digits are 4212, the tire was made during week number 42 of 2012.
Tires produced before 2000 also use a two-digit week identifier but only a one year code to mark the year of the decade. So if the last three digits are 428, then the tire was manufactured in the 42nd week of 1998, though it might also be 1988 or 1978. Using the two digits for the year helped eliminate this confusion.
How to Use Information in the Tire Identification Number
By understanding TINs, you can accurately date the production of your tires and be aware of when they reach the age where they need to be inspected or replaced. Tires should be replaced every six to 10 years.
If concerned about whether it is time to replace your tires you can always ask the manufacturer. Though you should replace if the tread is worn, regardless of age. In addition, you are able to use your tire's unique TIN to register your tires with the manufacturer and gain information about important safety recalls.

Many factors were considered in making this decision and we have also listened closely to our members. However, ultimately the Council were in agreement that the right decision is to not hold our much-loved event in person this November.

The remainder of the programme, including abstracts, will be transferred to the November 2021 conference.
We would like to thank you for your ongoing patience, understanding and support of SfE BES and the difficult decisions we have had to take in these unprecedented times.

Nitish Kumar can join Grand Alliance again,says Rabri Devi
Jun 4, 2019, 12:58 pm IST
After a senior RJD leader asked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to join the Grand Alliance again, jailed party chief Lalu Prasad's wife Rabri Devi has said she has no objection if he does so."If Nitish Kumar joins the Grand Alliance again, we have no objection to it," Rabri Devi told media here on Monday night.
However, she made it clear that any decision on this will be taken by top leaders of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).Rabri Devi's statement came after Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, a former Union Minister, said Janata Dal-United (JD-U) chief Nitish Kumar should join hands with non-BJP parties to fight against the saffron party."He (Nitish Kumar) will surely switch sides but no one can predict when will he do that or what will he say. This has happened several times earlier. It's not surprising… All I want is that everyone should come together against the BJP," he said on Monday. Singh's offer came a day after Nitish Kumar inducted eight JD-U MLAs as Cabinet Ministers, leaving out the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), leading to speculation of a rift between the two allies.
The Cabinet expansion on Sunday came two days after the JD-U chief decided that his party won't join Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new government because it was offered just one seat — a "symbolic" representation. The RJD's relation with Nitish Kumar turned bitter after he dumped the RJD-led Grand Alliance in July 2017 and joined hands with the BJP and formed the government.

AOL RIP?: Legendary brand might ditch its name
January 18, 2016 by Jordan Valinsky
AOL's name might be disconnected for good.
Less than a year after Verizon purchased the sprawling company, the brand is mulling a name change because people still associate its legacy image with email addresses and dial-up Internet, rather than a robust tech and media company it's trying to morph into.
Allie Kline, AOL's chief marketing officer, said in an interview with Business Insider that her company has an image problem, saying that people don't know that it owns popular publications, like Huffington Post and TechCrunch, or operates ad-tech platforms. The America Online name has been in use since 1991.
"Is AOL the right brand? If it is, let's invest in it," Kline told BI. "And if it isn't, let's figure out what is. But either way, not investing in the brand is not an option."
She said that investment will be in its mobile and video, but eliminating the name hasn't yet officially been decided on. "Who knows? 'Expect the unexpected' is the motto," Kline said. "Yeah. Maybe!"
Under Verizon's purview, AOL is transitioning itself away from a company that's a popular homepage in middle America to a fully fledged tech and media company where it sits in third place behind Alphabet and Facebook. For example, AOL recently said it's forming an advertising pact with Verizon and Microsoft to offer companies data from 500 million people. It's also expanding its footprint in the U.K.
With AOL embarking on modern endeavors like programmatic advertising, perhaps using a 25-year-old identity that's tied to a former product isn't the ideal way to diversify its image.
"It becomes challenging for a name to represent so many different things—an email service, an online advertising platform, a media holding company, etc.," Fell Gray, Interbrand North America's executive director of verbal identity, told Digiday. "It's likely that AOL does need a new name, but it's essential to set the vision first. Too often companies try to solve positioning through naming."


Extrema Ratio has taken the full-sized MF2 as the basic pattern for a compact version of this popular folder. Extrema Ratio has named this smaller version, the "MF0" folder. Shorter but definitely not shorted on quality or features. The MF0 is ideal for an EDC. A strong, solid, compact folder that rides easily in your pocket. The compact sized MF0 is a good option if you need a shorter blade due to local laws or if you prefer a shorter, easier-to-carry blade.
This version has the classic Testudo (black) finish and is offered with a drop point. This is a very durable finish that is very protective against corrosion and oxidation.
The MF0 [MFzero] blade has been shortened compared to the other MF blades. This compact, clean blade shape is similar to the "leaf" shaped blade on the fixed blade Shrapnel OG. The blade is formed to include a lower guard with a lanyard hole. It has ambidextrous thumb stubs.
The handle on the MF0 has been reduced as much as possible to a minimum length. Even though the handle is somewhat shorter than the other MFs, it has been designed to give you a good grip. A window breaker on the end extends beyond the bridge clip. There is a supplementary screw you can adjust for fine-tuning the knife action.
The MF0 has a reversible side-to-side clip. This clip is a "bridge" clip that wraps around the end so the knife sits deeper in your pocket for a more discreet carry. It gives you a tip up carry.


More than 230 TMA physicians, medical students, and TMA Alliance members visited with their local legislators during First Tuesdays at the Capitol. The day started with TMA lobbyists outlining key issues and messaging. It ended with a news conference at the Capitol. TMA and Border Health Caucus physicians asked state leaders to reverse funding cuts that harm access to care for thousands of Texas' dual-eligible patients. Dual-eligible patients are old enough to qualify for Medicare and also qualify for Medicaid assistance because of their income. "We're asking state leaders and lawmakers to fully restore the funding for our Medicaid-Medicare dual-eligible patients," said Luis Benavides, MD, of Laredo, Border Health Caucus vice chair. "Our patients need us." TMA is especially encouraging young physicians to take part in the next First Tuesdays at the Capitol on March 5. Register today.

ALLEN GAMBOA: Post-Apocalyptic Fiction!
gman July 1, 2016 Apocolypse Books Entertainment Fiction Interview Prepping With Goat Hollow 0
Bobby Akart "Prepping For Tomorrow"
On this week's episode of the Prepping for Tomorrow program with Author Bobby Akart, popular zombie apocalypse author, Allen Gamboa joins us.
Our month long series featuring some of the best authors in the zombie apocalypse genre continues. With The Walking Dead's record-breaking ratings (including its spinoff series, Fear The Walking Dead) and World War Z winning big at the box office, there's no end in sight for the love of zombie-oriented, post-apocalyptic fiction. We've come to learn that you have to be deadly accurate, pardon the pun, when dealing with these creatures. Just when you think they're finished, they get up again and stagger towards you. They're relentless!
Allen Gamboa has released several novels into this genre and he'll be here to discuss his work, and how zombie, dystopian fiction, can assist preppers in visualizing a post-apocalyptic world. Zombie films, television series, books and graphic novels are being devoured by ever greater audiences, long after many predicted this particular breed of undead monster seemed to be heading for the grave. Allen's Dead Island series, together with collaborations involving our friends Mike Evans, Claire Riley, James Wallace, and W.J. Lundy, to name a few, have captured the attention of readers in a big way.
The importance of this genre as an aspect of prepper fiction was summed up best by best-selling author Max Brooks, who wrote the book on which the World War Z film was based. He said:
"We're living in very uncertain times. People have a lot of anxiety about the future. They're constantly being battered with these very scary, very global catastrophes. I think a lot of people think the system is breaking down and just like the 1970s, people need a 'safe place' to explore their apocalyptic worries. They can't read stories about real plagues or nuclear war. That's too scary. That'll make them turn away. Zombie stories give people the opportunity to witness the end of the world they've been secretly wondering about while, at the same time, allowing themselves to sleep at night because the catalyst of that end is fictional."
I couldn't agree more, but I must admit ….

Laundry Tips: You have to be careful with wovens. Even though we pre-shrink all our wovens (and loose a couple of feet in the width in the process) you need to wash them in cold water, delicate cycle and either use a very cool dryer or hang dry. To keep your nightgowns looking like new, we recommend you use fabric softener and that you iron.
Quality: We make our own wovens, so we know what we are giving you. In this case is a fine pima cotton printed pique.

Sullivan takes early lead in GOP Senate race
By Becky Bohrer
Tuesday, August 19, 2014 11:25pm
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan held a lead in early primary returns in the fight to be the Republican candidate to take on U.S. Sen. Mark Begich in the fall.
Sullivan held an edge Tuesday night over tea party favorite Joe Miller, who made a late push reminiscent to his 2010 primary upset of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell was in third.
Sullivan entered the primary the presumed front-runner, with the backing of national GOP powerbrokers and a huge cash advantage over his rivals.
The Republicans are vying to face Begich, who easily won his primary, who faced no real opposition from other Democrats.
The Alaska GOP Senate race mirrors national trends, with tea party conservatives trying to knock out mainstream Republicans.
Sullivan, who has the support of national Republican powerbrokers and groups like Club for Growth, was considered the front-runner early on in part due to his fundraising prowess, which has rivaled that of Begich. Roughly $4 million in attacks have been run against Sullivan by a pro-Begich super PAC, with some of the knocks against him over his residency — a big deal in Alaska.
Sullivan is from Ohio, but his wife is from Alaska and his roots here date to the 1990s. He left the state in 2002 for stints in George W. Bush's administration and overseas with the military, before returning in 2009 and being appointed attorney general by Palin.
On Tuesday morning, Sullivan was out with supporters — including his wife, three teenage daughters and niece — waving signs along a busy Anchorage street and looking relaxed.
"Voters are going to make the decision today. I'm proud of the campaign we ran," he said, adding: "We have not left any stone unturned."
Sullivan spent the last few days leading up to the primary covering hundreds of miles in an RV; he skipped the last debate to be broadcast statewide to focus on door-to-door campaigning.
Palin, who has little to do with state-level politics since resigning in 2009 and becoming a paid contributor for Fox News, re-emerged to support an oil tax referendum that also is on the ballot — if successful, it would restore the tax system she championed as governor — and to endorse Miller.
Miller is largely considered a wild card and long shot, but he's running a race that smacks of 2010, when he upset Murkowski in the GOP primary, though he ended up losing to her in the general election after she ran a write-in campaign.
He has a network of loyal supporters, attention from conservative talk radio hosts and endorsements from anti-abortion and tea party-style groups. While he exuded confidence in the race's final days, Miller said late Tuesday afternoon, after being greeted warmly by sign-waving supporters along a busy Anchorage street, that he did all he could do.
"We've left nothing on the table," he said, noting the support he's received has been "phenomenal."
Supporter Amy Walker of Palmer, who was sign-waving for Miller, said she didn't think about voting for anyone else, calling Miller a "champion for liberty."
Treadwell has cast himself as the "electable" conservative, in contrast with Miller. Treadwell also has played up his decades-long ties to the state, as opposed to Sullivan. He believes his knowledge of Alaska issues, from fisheries to aviation, make him the strongest candidate to challenge Begich. His endorsements include four-time Iditarod champ Martin Buser and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, which came near the end of the race.
Campaign manager Peter Christensen, out sign-waving Tuesday morning across the street from a clutch of Miller supporters, said some people don't start to follow a race until it's nearly over. He said endorsements tend to work that way, too.
Treadwell, who struggled to race money after Sullivan jumped in, said he was proud of the race he ran and would do what he could to bring the party together after the bruising primary.
"In terms of the money issue, whatever happens tonight, the fact that we were in contention, solidly in contention, being outspent 4-to-1 by huge outside money, is significant," he said. "And I am very grateful to Alaskans who respected our record and respected our positions and respected our ability."
Sullivan raised about four times as much as Treadwell, drawing from donors nationally.
Alaska voters also will decide on nominees for governor, the U.S. House and whether to repeal a new tax on oil companies operating in the state Tuesday night, though most Americans will wake up to the results Wednesday. Because of time zone differences, polls in western Alaska close at 1 a.m. EDT.
Another western state, Wyoming, also held its primary election Tuesday, as U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi and Rep. Cynthia Lummis defeated lesser-known challengers from within the Republican Party.

My Own Story
Emmeline Pankhurst My Own Story
By lunababymoonchild, March 7, 2018 in Biography & Autobiography
lunababymoonchild
Ast, Moon Goddess
Current Book:Something that brings me joy
I expected this to be a history of the suffragette movement and it was. I did, however, look forward to finding out more about the character and personality of Mrs Pankhurst and in that I was disappointed. Despite the fact that the book was called My Story there was very little personal information on the lady herself. I did, however, learn a great deal about the suffragette movement and just how determined these women were and what they were prepared to endure - and endure they did. Mrs Pankhurst lead from the front and was jailed often, during the later confinements she took up hunger striking and thirst striking (a new one on me) and made herself very ill indeed in the process.
I found the tone of the prose to be more factual than autobiographical, Mrs Pankhurst wrote well but without passion, even when her sister died after a hunger strike.
The book ends in 1914 when WWI is declared but Mrs Pankhurst is sure that the next government will grant women the vote.
I learned a great deal about the movement and their tactics and I also learned the relationship between a broken window and protest. Ghandi, however, did show that peaceful protest worked too but I suppose that would come later.
I'd recommend this book but it does take a bit of getting used to. The cover above is inserted because this book inspired the film.

Japanese people are people... Who just happen to be Japanese. The same variety is there, just with "Japanese" in place of whatever other nationality.
Way too many people look at "Japanese" as if it is going to have a huge effect on all those other traits that people normally look at in a love interest. "If he/she is Japanese, they will have these traits that I want!" sort of thing. It is stereotyping and leads to a lot of bad endings to relationships. I can't even begin to count the number of times I have seen or heard about people who wanted to date someone Japanese, so jumped at the first chance they got... Only to find out that the image they had formed of a Japanese man or woman was absolutely nothing like the individual they were dating. And sometimes this realization came too late after they jumped to get married or had a baby.
It really shouldn't be given any more weight than hair or eye color, really. No one would dream of thinking that every girl with green eyes is going to be devoted and submissive... Nor that every guy with blonde hair is going to be a great outdoorsman, etc. It is just as silly as thinking that every Japanese person is going to adhere to some stereotypical view that has been formed based on whatever is the popular image at the time in the west.
The only thing that you can be pretty safe assuming about someone Japanese is that their natural hair color is most likely black, and their natural eye color brown.
There was a girl I read on here who lives in Japan now who wrote:
"That pretty much started my dream to go to Japan - It seemed like somewhere that I could be me and find happiness."
Now if this girl who lived in another country dreamed of going to Japan so she could be herself in a country that is 99.9% Japanese and find happiness why is it such a shock that another girl in another country feels that she has a natural affinity to a specific culture like the Japanese culture?
Also, in America the divorce rate is near 50%. People have ideas on what a relationship is going to be and for whatever reason it doesn't work out. It might be different cultural ideas in some cases like those you listed but in America where most likely both are Americans it's going to be a different reason.
The point is there is always a reason but that in itself is not enough to form an all-encompassing argument as to why someone cannot feel a natural inclination towards a specific culture and country and want to immerse themselves in it including a relationship with one of it's occupants.

Well, it's one thing to say that you are attracted to certain look, because it happens. But because they were born in a different culture? Wouldn't that make it more difficult for a relationship?
I mean, it always depends on the people involved, but me and my boyfriend share some similar values and ways of thinking. Even then though, we have lapses where we get frustrated by the cultural/religious differences.
It sounds like when people imagine someone they have a crush on...they don't necessarily know that person, but in one's own mind they make their crushes seem way more wonderful and compatible to themselves. With someone of a different culture/language it may take longer to figure out the person's flaws and issues because of barriers.

I dated two Japanese guys and both failed! Let me tell you my dating experience with them.
The first time I had a Japanese boyfriend, I was a high school sophomore. We would always argue about communication. He didn't like phone calls as much as I did. Plus he didn't like saying "I love you" very much. He was more non-verbal in showing affections. Unfortunately, I'm both verbal and non-verbal so honestly I expect my partner to be the same. Also he would always cry everytime I failed to appreciate his efforts. It really turned me off. It was a melodramatic break up but I managed to tell him all of my thoughts so now we're very good friends.
Then I dated this Japanese guy in college for like three months because he was very consistent. Then all of a sudden out of the blue he broke up with me telling "I don't like you anymore. You're not Japanese." (No exaggeration) As if it's a secret that I am non-Japanese. Then two weeks after our alleged break-up he dated another girl, a Japanese one. And he wasn't done breaking my heart yet he posted some hate notes on mixi about me just because I opened my feelings to my friends. Well I thought all of them were really my friends, some turned out to be his allies! Anyways, we're still on bad terms and it got me depressed for months.
So, if you're going to ask me whether to date a Japanese guy, hmmm for now NO!
Additional info: Seeing my parents divorce (Japanese dad and non-Japanese mom) it's convincing not to prefer a Japanese person! That's all. Apologies for the negativity.

Would you like to have a japanese boyfriend? Why? - 02-19-2012, 01:23 PM
I had a friend from Japan, we met through a forum and we started talking about all sorts of things especially hobbies.Two days later I swapped address the forum not to mention things that had nothing in common with New Posts. I don't know how he managed to call me there, in Japan, but I found myself talking to someone in English and I had no idea who he is because I don't have many American or British friends in phone. Then he told me his name and I realized with who I was talking.I liked talking to him. Every time we talk ,he said:Come to Japan, I know you want ... and he still teasing me with this beacause he knows that my parents would not let me. Maybe I'll go there with my future 'career' .........who knows?...................

Japan boyfriend - 02-06-2014, 01:14 PM
I think many foreign women find it difficult to find a Japanese boyfriend because they find they are too shy. Or is it really because most Japanese men prefer Japanese women? I think ultimately it boils down to individual preferences and love and attraction is something we can't control.

Yes, but only if he's a good man. I don't care too much for looks, just respect,maturity,docility, and humor. Cultural similarities would be a must as well, but it's not like I'll ONLY date Japanese or Russian [I'm half of each] guys. Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Polish, Ukrainian, even some others. But there's gotta be SOME things we've in common. Enough to be comfortable with.

While activating Windows is typically a seamless process, occasionally one runs into a snag. The 0x8007000D Windows activation error can cause significant problems if one does not know how to resolve the issue, including being unable to download and install updates, wallpaper removal, and annoying activation notifications. This activation error can likely be caused by many things, however, I believe this one to be the result of not entering the Windows 7 product key and without activating Windows within the 30 day activation window.
I assumed that it was just one of the many problems with Internet activation, so I attempted to activate over the telephone. As many of you may know, activating over the telephone is significantly more time consuming, as you must enter an installation ID and conformation ID. It may take longer, but it is typically more effective in situations such as this. As to my surprise, I was greeted with the same error message in a different form.
Oddly enough, I was able to get past this error message for the telephone activation, however, the following window was just as depressing as the previous.
Where the installation ID would normally be listed, there are only blank blocks. This makes the telephone activation useless because the installation ID is required.
With no choice left, I attempt to change the product key in hopes that activation will be successful afterwards.
Unfortunately, changing the product key gets me just as far as the attempts to activate did, nowhere! Needing to resolve the issue and not having any ideas left, I decide to give Microsoft a call, considering they provide free support for activation issues. After being transferred around and going through the same basic questions with about 3 different people, I finally get somebody to tell me a resolution. They recommend that I perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 7. For those of you that don't know what this is, it's when you put the Windows 7 disc in your system while it's booted and reinstall Windows 7 with the "Upgrade" option. This will keep your files, settings and programs in place on your computer. It is important not to choose "Custom" installation or all of your data will be lost. Unfortunately, I was disappointed yet again. For whatever reason, the in-place upgrade would not allow me to continue.
As a last resort, I attempted to perform a system restore.
The system restore was successful, and after restarting I was able to activate Windows without any issues.

'Arch villain' homeowner builds two-metre tall fence just inches from neighbour's home – and government BACK her
A HOMEOWNER has blocked the views from her neighbours' £1million home by erecting a fence mere inches from their windows – and has even been given Government approval.
Kate Chubb, 52, said she built the two-metre high fence on the western edge of her six acre property to protect cows.
She insisted it was necessary to stop the farm animals, who regularly graze on her land, from harming themselves by coming into contact with the windows as they shelter from the elements.
But furious neighbours Anthony and Janice Hemms say the new fence comes within four inches of three of their windows at Papermill Cottage at St Catherine, nr Bath, Somerset.
Where they once had stunning views of fields, they see nothing but fence when they look outside.
The Hemms have written to the council to request its removal, but Planning Inspectorate have ruled it can stay, provided it does not go higher than two metres.
Speaking on the fence, Mrs Hemms, 63, and her husband, 61, said they were "disappointed, shocked and really appalled" by the decision.
Mrs Hemms added: "I didn't think for a moment this would be the result, I thought it was common sense."
Meanwhile, local parish council chairman Donald MacIntyre said: "It's pretty ridiculous.
"As far as the parish is concerned it is an unnecessary and unhappy situation which we would like to see resolved and this planning appeal has not resolved this issue at all."

Launching back, Mrs Chubb, who is a single mum and has lived on her property since 2011, has slammed her neighbours for branding her the "arch villain" in the dispute.
She said: "I'm sure you have been encouraged to believe I'm the arch villain – I look like it, but I'm not.
"Although it looks pretty horrendous, the whole thing, unfortunately, I don't feel the cause of that fence.
"I'm a single mum and I've had to go along and put something up there like I'm the Hungarian government putting up a border patrol when I'm not."
The single mum told how up to 10 cows of various breeds belonging to a neighbouring farmer regularly take shelter from bad weather in the lee of the Hemms' property.
She had the fence built in 2015, and Bath and North East Somerset Council issued an enforcement notice ordering its removal.
Mrs Chubb then appealed against the order, and was supported by the Planning Inspectorate, which ruled the fence to be "permitted development".
Speaking on the case, inspector Peter Drew said: "The structure harms the living conditions of the occupiers of Papermill Cottage by reason of loss of outlook and daylight."
He concluded: "I have no reason to doubt that the Appellant's motivation was to safeguard the tenant's cattle.
"There can be no doubt that a means of enclosure can be erected up to 2 metres high along this boundary."

Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni, geb. Laboras de Mézières (* 25. Oktober 1713 in Paris; † 7. Dezember 1792 ebenda) war eine französische Schauspielerin und Romanschriftstellerin.

Leben
Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni war die Tochter von Christoph Nicolas de Heurles du Laboras, einem Bürger aus Troyes, und der Pariserin Marie-Marguerite Dujac. Als 1714 festgestellt wurde, dass ihr Vater bereits mit einer anderen Frau verheiratet war und damit in Bigamie lebte, musste er zu seiner ersten Gattin nach Troyes zurückkehren. Die kleine Marie-Jeanne galt als illegitimes Kind und blieb anfangs in der Obhut ihrer Mutter, die aber wenig vermögend war und auch der seelischen Stabilität zur Kindeserziehung ermangelte. So kam Marie-Jeanne in ein Kloster und sollte Nonne werden. Sie lehnte sich jedoch dagegen auf und ihre Mutter musste sie 1728 als 14-Jährige wieder zu sich nehmen.

Die Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter war für Marie-Jeanne schwierig. In einer Heirat sah sie einen Weg, aus dem Haus ihrer Mutter ausziehen zu können und so vermählte sie sich am 7. Juli 1734 mit dem sechs Jahre älteren italienisch-französischen Schauspieler und Dramatiker  Antonio Francesco Riccoboni. Dieser war der Direktor des Théâtre-Italien, wo Marie-Jeanne bereits im August 1734 eine Schauspielkarriere begann. Doch war sie für diesen Beruf laut ihrem eigenen Geständnis nicht sonderlich begabt. Unterdessen verlief ihre Ehe nicht glücklich. Ihr Gemahl war verschwenderisch, bisweilen gewalttätig und für andere Frauen empfänglich. Sie selbst unterhielt vielleicht in ihren frühen Ehejahren eine Liaison mit dem Grafen Yves Marie Desmarets de Maillebois, bis sich dieser im Mai 1745 mit Marie-Madeleine Catherine de Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson, einer Tochter des Diplomaten und Literaten René Louis d'Argenson, verheiratete.

1755 trennte sich Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni von ihrem Ehemann und zog zu ihrer Freundin Thérèse Biancolleli, bei der sie ihr restliches Leben lang wohnte. Dennoch zahlte sie weiterhin die Schulden ihres Gatten und pflegte ihn 1772 in seinem letzten Lebensstadium.

Als Schriftstellerin versuchte sich Riccoboni erstmals 1751, als sie Suite de la vie de Marianne, eine Fortsetzung des unvollendeten Romans La Vie de Marianne von Marivaux, niederschrieb, wobei sie Marivaux' Stil täuschend echt nachahmte. Marivaux ließ ihr Werk 1761 veröffentlichen. Mit weiteren Romanen wie Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd (1757), L'Histoire du marquis de Cressy (1758) und Lettres de Milady Juliette Catesby à Milady Henriette Campley son amie (1759), welches Werk wie ihre anderen Romane in Briefform verfasst ist, verdiente die Autorin genügend Geld, um ihre Theaterkarriere 1760 an den Nagel zu hängen und sich ausschließlich ihrer literarischen Laufbahn zu widmen.

In ihren Romanen entwarf Riccoboni meist starke Frauenfiguren, die erst in empfindsamer Stimmung lieben können, und deren Konflikte mit moralisch unterlegenen Partnern, die ein berechnendes Doppelspiel treiben. Dabei schmerzt die Frauen nicht so sehr die Untreue ihrer Männer als ihr unterminiertes Selbstwertgefühl. In ihrem Roman Lettres de Milord Rivers à Sir Charles Cardigan (1777) erzählt die Schriftstellerin die Beziehung zweier Französinnen, die ihre Liaison über heterosexuelle Liebe stellen.

Riccoboni führte auch Briefwechsel mit diversen Persönlichkeiten wie u. a. Diderot, Laclos, David Hume und David Garrick. Diderot, der sie in seinem Essai "Paradoxe sur le comédien" als eine der schlechtesten Schauspielerinnen ihrer Zeit bloßstellte, bewunderte sie andererseits als Schriftstellerin. Vom Königshaus erhielt sie eine kleine Pension, bis deren Auszahlung nach dem Ausbruch der Französischen Revolution 1789 eingestellt wurde. Marie-Antoinette verbarg ihre Romane in einem falschen Einband, damit sie sich ungestört deren Lektüre zu widmen vermochte. Verarmt starb Riccoboni am 7. Dezember 1792 im Alter von 79 Jahren in Paris. Ihr Gesamtwerk kam 1818 in sechs Bänden in Paris heraus.

The holidays are a season of giving, with many charities receiving 41 percent of their total donations in the last few weeks of the year. However, some shady individuals mean to use the spirit of altruism during the holidays for their own gain. Charity scams take off during the holidays, intent on taking advantage of those who want to make the world a better place and improve the lives of the less fortunate. Make sure that you don't get caught up in a holiday charity scam so that your donations can do the most good.
Who are Holiday Donation Scammers?
Scam artists operate all year-round. However, during the holidays their scams can take on a more malicious tone as they seek to get ahold of money destined for some of the great charity organizations in the world.
As more people start to get into the spirit of giving during the holiday season, scam artists begin to plan their charity fraud. These fake charities don't distribute anything to the poor. Instead, they just direct money into the pockets of the scammers.
Fake charities usually have some telltale signs.
Charity scammers will pressure you for a donation in cash and on the spot. They are eager to get you to pay up so that they can move on to their next target. Scammers may also only ask for small donations. Most people won't think too much about parting with a little cash, but early success will only embolden the scammer to come back for more or exploit others.
Fake charities are quick, impromptu affairs. A fake charity might call you one day, only to have disappeared the next. This also means that they have very little historical presence and a physical location that's either temporary or non-existent.
Scammers will often try to pass themselves off as affiliates of more well-known charities, or even those famous charity organizations themselves. They hope to gain some unearned credibility through association with a legitimate charitable organization.
Charity scammers have learned a lot of tricks get donations that are intended for legitimate charities, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to spot a fake charity and make sure that your money goes exactly where you want it to. There are a few things that you should do to avoid a charity scam.
Ask for documentation. Legitimate charities must register with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This authorization means that the IRS has examined the charity and determined their activities to be legitimate for the purpose of collecting donations and putting them to good use in the community. If an organization solicits money from you under the guise of charitable work, but they refuse to show proof of their 501(c)(3) status or admit that they are not a certified nonprofit, do not give them your donations.
Do your research. The best way to find out who you should donate to during the holidays is to research charities beforehand. Organizations like Charity Navigator and GuideStar track the activities of charities throughout the world and condense their findings into reports meant for potential donors like you. Reading about charities on these websites can tell you who will use your money best. If you hear from an organization that doesn't have a presence with any charity watchdog or anywhere else on the web, be very wary. You may be talking to a scam artist.
Donate with your credit card. Cash donations are quick, but they can also be very insecure. Once your cash leaves your hand, it's out of your control. If you made a mistake and gave it to a scammer, then you have very few options for getting it back. Instead, donating with a credit card gives you two options to fight scammers. First, scam artists won't go through the trouble of setting up a retail account with one of the major credit card companies. However, this doesn't mean that scammers won't try to collect your information. As always, be safe with your credit card during the holidays. Second, your ability to chargeback money from a retailer to your credit card account gives you options if you think that you've mistakenly given to a less-than-reputable organization.
Don't feel pressured to donate. Legitimate charitable organizations know that they can put your donation to good use whether you donate today, next week, or next month. Charity scammers, however, want to get your money quickly and close up shop before they can be caught. If you feel like you are being unreasonably pressured into donating on the spot, then it's best to take your charity elsewhere.
Charity fraud is out there, but you don't have to fall for them. Investigate organizations before you donate, don't give into high pressure tactics, and donate with your credit card to make your donation more secure. The holidays are a time for giving and we don't have to let charity scammers ruin that.

Indians cruise past Tigers 8-0 for third straight win

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Indians got off to a quick start and didn't look back in Tuesday's 8-0 win over the Tigers.
Cleveland scored five runs in the second inning and two more in the third, which put them in position for their third win in a row.
The Indians had five hits in the second inning, including a two-run double from Francisco Lindor and a two-run homer from Oscar Mercado. Mercado has three home runs in his last two games.

Jordan Luplow and Jose Ramirez both doubled to start the third inning to increase the lead to 6-0. Ramirez scored later in the inning on an error by pitcher Ryan Carpenter. Ramirez has a hit in eight straight games and has doubled in three straight contents.
The game was delayed for two hours and seven minutes due to rain. Play resumed at 10:14 p.m.
Zach Plesac didn't allow a hit in three innings of work. It was his ninth start of the season for the Indians. The 24-year-old didn't return after the rain delay. His ERA fell to 3.56 this season. Plesac leads the majors with five pick-offs, after catching Victor Reyes sleeping at first base in the first inning.
"He's got the quickest feet I've ever seen," manager Terry Francona said. His uncle {Dan} told me that, but again, a lot of uncles {talk up their nephews}, you know. He's right."
Plesac retired eight straight batters after walking Reyes to start the game.
The Indians used three relievers after the delay. Tyler Clippard pitched two shutout innings, allowing one hit. Nick Goody entered the game in the fifth, tossing two perfect frames and finishing with three strikeouts.Tyler Olson didn't allow a hit in the final two innings.
The Indians have won three straight games and are 53-40 on the season. The Twins lost to the Mets 3-2, which means the Tribe pulls within five games of Minnesota in the American League Central Division. It's the closest they've been since May 19 when Cleveland trailed by 4½ games.
Rakin' Naquin – Tyler Naquin continues to make the most of his opportunities when he's in the lineup. He finished 2-for-3 with a home run. Naquin has two hits in each of the last four games and an extra base hit in three straight contests.
This dinger makes it four straight two-hit games for @TyNaquin! #RallyTogether | @Indians

Health Check – Danny Salazar made his second rehab start with Double-A Akron. He allowed one run and three hits in three innings with two walks and four strikeouts. He threw 58 pitches (38 strikes). The Indians haven't decided if Salazar will be a starter or a reliever. They're waiting until he's closer to returning to action.
Corey Kluber will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday afternoon for the first time since breaking his forearm in May. The 33-year-old has long tossed and played catch, but he hasn't thrown off the mound. Kluber will start with 20 fastballs and see how his arm reacts.
Up Next – The Indians continue their series with the Tigers on Wednesday night. Mike Clevinger will get the start for the Tribe. He enters with a 2-2 record and a 3.99 ERA in six starts. Spencer Turnbull will get the ball for Detroit. He's 3-8 on the year with a 3.59 ERA.

I have for you a new piece from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia! With all the monsters complete, it is now time to begin exploring the Grand Bazaar itself. The third stop is a visit to the Sunken Stalls. Not every monster lives on land, but they all have things to sell and things they need to buy. You can find many wonders of the aquatic realms for sale here as well as desired goods from the land at a noticeable mark up. Don't expect to haggle if you can't breathe underwater!
I am really impressed with all the detail and how much it really matches the designs and illustration. The sculpture did an amazing job. ...and ALL THOSE TENTACLES!!!!
It just looks great from every angle!
The miniature even comes with some little sandbars, a boat and oars, a treasure chest with removable lid, and a skeleton clinging to a ships wheel atop a pile of gold.
Wrapping things up it the Hydroloth. Nothing like a weird froggy monster to be the cherry on top of a wonderful monster filled sundae. As with all of these I have some horribly unflattering reference photos of myself that help make this piece a reality. This is one of those pieces that practically painted itself, but I have more on that in the coming months when I share the process to this piece and all my other contributions to Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes!
This was a fun one and hit me in the D&D feels. If you are familiar with the long history of D&D you should see a striking resemblance between this animated statue and the statue on the cover of the First Edition Players Handbook. In fact, I was asked to make this Eidolon look exactly like the station on the Players Handbook... if it had just stood up and was about to cause some trouble. You might notice that there is a different length in the loin cloth from the drawing to the final... that is a story for another day.
Keep an eye on the blog as I share the rest of my contributions to Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes!
This was a weird one for sure. When I was working on the thumbnails I thought to myself that I was either immediately nailing it... or I was HORRIBLY wrong in the direction I was going. Turns out I nailed it. The reference I was sent to base this on was a little vague, so I did the best I could and apparently figured it out. In the end, I really enjoyed working on this one, and I think it turned out well, but going into it I was worried. I was reading the stats on this one yesterday, it is a beast. I would not like to find my character on the business end of one of these. If you were wondering, I posed for reference for this one too.
The Sibriex just might be my favorite piece that I created for this book. It hits a lot of important notes with me: it is a mess yet it has some order, lots of detail, oozing grossness, crazy textures, a chance to do a self-portrait. Speaking of self-portrait, a lot of really silly images of me making crazy faces went into the creation of this piece. Production wanted this incarnation to look a bit more intelligent than the preview versions. I was more than happy to step in a try to portray that intelligence. Hopefully, it came through in the end.
The choker is a classic D&D monster, and it was great to have the chance to illustrate it for this book. When shooting reference images, I did my best to make it seem like I had no bone and I was only filled with cartilage. I think it all worked out in the end.

Whistleblower says lawyers botched case, led to his prosecution
On Behalf of Andrew Rubin, Esq. | Nov 2, 2012 | Legal Malpractice Law
Most often when we write about legal malpractice in New Jersey, we discuss complaints that have been filed by people who believe their attorneys bungled their cases causing them to lose a legal battle. In a case that was just filed earlier this week, the complainant actually won a very large settlement in his original case–$104 million–but he still thinks his lawyers botched it.
The original case involved a former UBS AG banker who became a whistleblower by cooperating with the federal government in their investigation of the bank's practice of helping clients evade taxes. Ultimately, UBS was fined $780 million by the government and the whistleblower was also given an award of $104 million. However, he is not satisfied; he believes his lawyers cost him an even larger whistleblower award and that they neglected to take steps to prevent him from being arrested and failed to secure an immunity agreement for him, which resulted in his conviction on fraud charges.
The man says that the law firm told him that it had experience in whistleblower cases, but that it actually did not. Due to this, he claims, the lawyers did not help him submit certain forms to the IRS, resulting in problems to his whistleblower status. He believes that his lawyers could have worked out a better deal with the government in order to help him avoid criminal prosecution on the fraud charges.
The law firm has countered that it believes the man is only filing the legal malpractice suit in retaliation to the firm's attorneys' fees. The firm has tried to collect 12.5 percent of the whistleblower award. A fee dispute is currently pending with an arbitration board.
This case is very complex. Indeed, whistleblowers do have certain protections under federal law and their cases must be handled very carefully to ensure that they will be able to enjoy those protections. It remains unclear whether these lawyers failed to meet the standard of practice for their profession and whether they did fail to understand whistleblower law in this case.
The plaintiff has requested $2 million for legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty and unlawful trade practices.
