The little farmstead is just beautiful! The owner is the nicest person ever. He has done great things to the place and all the animals there are so nice. The place is family friendly. You will not be disappointed in this place at all. I am definitely going to try to come back as many times as I can! Thank you for everything!
sweet about this farm and charming little town .
I really enjoyed my time at the cabin! The Coulter Farmstead is a very unique place to stay. I was there to work the local festival. At the end of the day, I very much appreciated the quietness and peacefulness the property offered. The breakfast tray that was brought out was wonderful each morning. Can't say enough about the hospitality and good conversation from the host. We definitely will be back!
A beautiful romantic getaway cabin!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The old rustic cabin with the upgrades of a kitchen and restroom were awesome. Bradley was an awesome host that took care of our every need. He brought us a Delicious breakfast with farm made yogurt from the cows on the farm. He has done an amazing job restoring the farm, we were told it was abandoned for a while before he purchased it. The whole farm is amazing . He has not missed any details. It rained our entire stay but we walked around in the rain to see the farm. I really can't wait to come visit again in better weather. I would love to spend a week there to step back in time and truly enjoy the farm. Thanks again Bradley for the awesome service. We will be back.
We stayed for a weekend and absolutely loved it! It was beautiful and so peaceful. We spent all day Saturday touring the small town of Washington. It really felt like stepping back in time, away from the craziness of today. If you need some peaceful relaxation, this is the perfect little getaway! The cabin was spotless, the animals were so sweet, and the atmosphere in general was so serene and quiet. Absolutely LOVED IT!!!
Jessica - thanks so much for the kind words. I am so glad you had a wonderful stay. It was my pleasure to be your host! Please come back soon and visit - we would love to have you!


I don't understand why five certain MLB teams had to do big time business on Opening Night and Day. Aren't you busy watching your team, or getting prepared for the first game? Why must you complete a blockbuster trade?
The trade I'm referring to went through Sunday night, just an hour or so before Cardinals-Cubs was about to get underway.
My first reaction here was "Holy Preller". A.J. Preller has came into San Diego and has completely shifted their franchise. I've covered it and predicted their season already. This is only another huge boost.
Craig Kimbrel is the best closer in baseball. Last year, he had 47 saves, leading the NL. He's still young, debuting only four seasons ago. Since he's a closer, it's hard to project him, but the Padres only add stability in their bullpen, which rounds out one of the best pitching staffs in baseball.
Kimbrel is a strikeout machine, KO'ing 95 batters in 61.2 innings last year. Though I love the trade for Kimbrel, I'm not sure I like the Padres picking up Melvin Upton.
Notice where Melvin is? As we know, justin Upton was traded to the Padres earlier in the offseason, and he starts in left along with Matt Kemp and Wil Meyers. Melvin is an outfielder, so he'll find himself on the bench.
The meme is still great though.
As for the baseball side of acquiring Upton, he'll probably be an off the bench guy, who'll play utility. Since Matt Kemp is quite injury prone, it's likely Melvin will see some time starting.
Melvin's contracts huge, as he is owed $46 million over the next three years. Upton had majorly disappointed the Braves since signing it. Atlanta seemed desperate to find a taker for Upton, and it ended up costing them their best closer. That's how bad they wanted to get rid of him.
Atlanta clears a ton of money with this deal, and it sets the stage for the rebuild that's already in progress.
With what the Braves got back, I mean, wow, how did they get away with this? San Diego gave them a ton of players, including a young pitcher who is promising.
Carlos Quentin had been with the Padres the past three seasons, being a major liability. He's always hurt, and led the majors in hit by pitches in 2012. Whether you consider that a good thing is your decision. Quentin has always been a bit of a pinball, so it's not a surprise he got moved.
Cameron Maybin also got sent to the Braves. Maybin has been great when healthy throughout his career, but has never had the huge season. He's played in 100 games once in nine years. San Diego gave up on him, since he's already 28. Maybin has played in 33% of the Padres games the past two seasons. That's, not great.
The Braves might get something out of him. I mean, I'd bet on his defense to improve in centerfield. His DRS (Defensive Runs Saved) has been down lately. Whether the projection agrees, if I'm Atlanta, that's all I want.
Matt Wisler is a nice prospect that got sent to Atlanta in the deal. Ranked No.70 on MLB.com's Prospect Watch, Wisler is a strikeout fed pitcher, who relies on them quite much. His ERA is a tad high, along with his WHIP. Those can be worked out, but with a record of 9-5 in Triple A this year, his team is helping him out a bit. Wisler has time, and so do the Braves. This could work out quite well.
I don't know much about Jordan Paroubeck, but as another young prospect, the Braves have some solid guys in their farm system.
The trade overall helps San Diego big time in the short term. After Preller came in, he completely rebuilt this team, and this happened to be one of the final pieces, just hours before the MLB's first game of the season.
After last year's Cy Young season, Corey Kluber got locked up by the Indians. Cleveland's ace got basically a five year, $38.5 million extension, with the possibility of incentives dragging the price up to $77 million.
The money was a lot lower than I expected, giving what Rick Porcello got (more on that later). Perhaps the Indians know Kluber is older, and has a higher risk of getting injured. It's more about him willing to take less money to win, though staying Cleveland as a city ain't great.
With last year's Cy Young winner locked up, Cleveland is ready to win. This team is super good this year, and will only get better. Having your best guy under contract helps.
I've always liked Rick Porcello as a pitcher. He's young, and is a solid rotation guy, who'll probably end up being a No.3 or No.4 with Boston. The Red Sox locked him up to a four year, $82.5 million contract on Opening Day.
Boston needs solid pitching after losing many of their key guys from the last couple seasons. The money was huge, more than Kluber. Though, it is the Red Sox, so they have that type of money to spend. Giving Porcello the money now is better than giving it to him later. He's only 26, and has a bright future.
There aren't many restrictions within his contract, allowing the Red Sox to deal him if necessary. That out come isn't a likely one, as the Red Sox see Porcello as one of the key guys for their future plans.
Just this afternoon, the Pirates locked up third baseman Josh Harrison. The contract was for four years, and was worth $27.3 million.
Harrison had a monster season last year, hitting 13 HRs and boasting an outstanding OPS of .837. It was Harrison's breakout year, as he had spent the past three years with the Pirates.
He's known for his power, and is a hassle on offense to pitch to.
The money isn't huge, which was smart of Pittsburgh. Though he had a huge season, it's his only good year as a player. It seems that they might have jumped the gun on him, and it might back fire.
I like Harrison. He's a great hitter who excels at getting on base. Though, I'm just worried the Pirates threw the money at him a little too early.
Couple observations from the first two days of the baseball season….
Rough start for Mat Latos in his Marlins debut. Made it 2/3 of an inning and gave up seven runs. He had a lot of trouble keeping the ball above the waist of his batter.
We're two days into the season, and I'm really excited about my fantasy baseball team.

We were poor. The only reason why we were at a private Catholic School, was that even though the holy brothers constantly reminded us that we were poor, they didn't throw us out because fees weren't paid.
They let us know in public. At the end of each school year, all 800 boys were lined up in assembly in the quadrangle, and only those whose feed were paid were given the school magazine. After the first five years, I got immune to it. We used to talk about it a lot, and fantasised how we could get the money to pay our school fees, just at that part of the year. The rest of the time didn't matter. It was just that time of the year, the looks from the other 799 boys all at once.
But, the best studies were outside the classroom.
Classroom studies also included staring our of the window at half past two in the afternoon and seeing the clouds darken for the quarter to three cloudburst that always seemed to last until three o'clock. After all, this was Johannesburg. Things were different then. Predictable. Little change. Unless we made it happen.
We experimented a lot. Controlled studies, which were conducted with planning, forethought and discipline.
Like when Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" was showing at the Plaza Cinema. It was the year Dionne Warwick was singing, "Anyone who had a heart". And the year even the brothers at school encouraged us to listen to the Hit Parade because top of the charts was The Singing Nun with "Dominique".
"The Birds" was a spectacular horror movie. The pièce de résistance was when these rogue birds dropped down from the sky and pecked our Tippi Hedren's eyes. These shrilling feathered monsters dive-bombing to leave this gorgeous chick in bloody blindness.
We knew that most of the school girls were sitting in the stalls. They didn't like the front row, as it was too near the screen. They also didn't like the back row, as the boys sat there, smoking Lexington and coughing.
In those days, there were ashtrays on the backs of seats so that you could smoke. They were circular, and there was a little window at the top you could close to stop the smoke getting out after you had dumped you stompie in there. To empty the ashtrays, the cleaners would come around, the swivel them right over so that all the stompies and ash fell out. We would do that as were leaving the rows after a movie. – let the ashes and stompies fall to the floor. Well it gave the cleaners something to do.
We figured it was easier for the cleaners to sweep it all off the floor instead of going to all the trouble of turning over each and every ashtray.
We were only thinking of them.
The girls sat in the middle, just under the edge of the circle, which was a good 20 feet above their heads. The seats were just right. Not too close to the screen, nor to far. Exactly right for the best horror effect.
We had found a live chicken. Not difficult in the area where we lived. As I say, we were poor.
We put it inside a paper bag to keep it quiet.
Then we took our seats in the front row of the circle.
These were pricy seats, but we knew where the fire escape was, and there was always only one usherette upstairs.
They wore uniforms like the Salvation Army, and carried a tray in front of them, with choccies and sweet we could never afford. And some melting Eskimo Pies. The nice one, Gertie, always let us in. We gave her cigarettes so that she too could sit in the back row and smoke with the other guys.
However that day, we were in the front row of the circle. We had seen "The Birds" a week before, and we knew exactly when the part came for the birds to dive out of the sky and de-eye little Tippi.
Just at that moment we emptied the chicken out of the paper bag and let it drop to the stalls below.
Squawking, onto the girl's heads. We leant over the circle and studied the behaviour patterns. They seemed to be random. Fright, panic, hysteria, distress, laxativic. They scattered in all directions, regardless of the chairs, they seemed to be walking, not on water, but on the backs of the seats. The screams weren't like Tippi Hedren's, which sort of rose up the scale. Morgan, on of us, thought that Tippi's screams were in a major key. He should know, he was learning piano. The girls' screams were erratic, sort of all over the place. No musical sense at all, Morgan concluded.

Gigs and bullets
Johannesburg tram, 1960's
I think I was 14 when I gave up smoking for the first time. That would be 1960 or so. We used to smoke behind the swimming bath. It was safe there as it backed onto the rifle range, and no one in the right minds would be smoking cigarettes with bullets flying over their heads. Well, we weren't in our right minds. But we had to smoke.
We were at a Catholic school, where the bothers were very strict, when they weren't in the Brothers' Common Room doing whatever teaching monks did in the Common Room.
We smoked Lexington, why? Don't know. I suppose if we had smoked Texan, none of us would manage it, and Lexington, well even the name sounded cool. And we were cool. We were all the boys from poor families, allowed in because it made the school look good, like the Catholics were doing their bit. They did their bit. We got a good education, and our parents got out of paying fees. Good deal. Everyone was a winner. Those were the days of high apartheid, and the school had special permission to allow in "Second Class Citizens" – the Chinese. The school made the application to the government because almost all Chinese in Johannesburg were Catholic.
The school also welcomed the Jewish boys, because they all paid their fees. So some people paid, some didn't. Those that paid hefty fees, were the Jews, the Chinese and the Lebs. There had been trouble in Lebanon, and South Africa housed a large Lebanese refugee community – all Catholic of course. And the Chinese. They might have been "Second Class Citizens", but they certainly weren't poor, not like some of us whites.
It was nice to be "in" with the Jews, and Lebs and the Chinese, because their fathers all did interesting things. As a rule the fathers of the Jews were bookmakers, the fathers of the Chinese ran Fah Fee rackets, and the Lebs' fathers were all in boxing – well the gambling side of boxing.
For a country where gambling was banned, there was sure a lot of gambling going on. The horse races on Wednesdays and Saturdays were a sell out. I didn't have first hand experience of it, but I knew my grandfather was there regularly. He never won. He studied form, and that's the worst thing you can do, you know, bet on the horses scientifically. If he ever went to the races with my grandmother (she didn't go with him very often because she hated him – had done so since the day after their wedding in 1914.)
But then she did go, she always won. She betted on the colours worn by the jockeys. She also never bet on a jockey with a bad acne – she said there was too much wind drag. The old man (my grandfather) would always abuse her verbally, " That's not a horse, that's a cow." But the cow came romping home, and the old man would tear up his tickets in a rage as my grandmother went to the tote to collect her 7:1 on the two shillings and sixpence she had bet.
I used to hear of all this from my mother. She loved telling me about her in-laws, especially stories like that because she hated both of them.
Very close family.
Anyway, I suppose it was a combination of the gambling families of our smoking companions, and my grandfather's hopeless failure as a punter that was the sort of thing that pulled the gang together. That's about all we did. Smoked behind the swimming pool.
Oh, yes, and after the bullets from the rifle range had stopped flying, we'd go onto the range and collect the spent cartridges, which we called "doppies".
We'd take the precious matches we had left over from lighting copious cigarettes, and insert the heads into the doppies, jamming them in hard to the doppie was crammed full of match heads. Then on our bicycles up to Rockey Street in Bellevue to the tram lines.
We'd sit on the pavement, our feet firmly played in the gutter waiting for the next tram.
You could hear them coming all the way from Raleigh Street in Yeoville with the beating rumble that echoed through the tramlines. We heard it long before we saw the single headlamp that eyed it's way ahead. That gave us enough time to dash into the road and line up doppies (charged with match heads) onto the tramline. Carefully positioned maybe two or three feet from each other. Then we'd back off to our original seats in the gutter.
As the tram passed over the loaded doppies, they went off, a little like rifle shots.
The sweet old ladies in their hats and gloves would "whoop" at the sound, which I'm sure they soon decided was a car backfiring. Very common in those days, all cars backfired, even the big Dodges, Buicks, and Hudson's. I mean those old engines were crap, the petrol was crap, and the cars were so heavy they had the same pistons that you had on the Windsor Castle passenger liner.
Then we'd go home. Satisfied. An afternoon well spent.

Reliably about psychology and neurobiology
Cathinone and methcathinone – little known drugs
In certain circles probably well known, but for me not until recently at all. Cathinone and methcathinone – how they work, how they are obtained, and the risk of taking them. Anticipating the questions – I didn't try, I only rummaged in books and the Internet ;)
Both substances are stimulants, such as amphetamine, cocaine and caffeine.
Cathinone is a natural substance found in the plant khat (catha edulis). It is a shrub occurring mainly in eastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Its origin is not entirely known – according to some sources, its homeland is Ethiopia, from where it spread to all of eastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, and according to others, the plant comes from Yemen and from there it moved to Africa. It is known, however, that it has been used in these areas for many centuries. Its psychoactive properties have already been learned by the ancient Egyptians.
Chewing khat leaves (or sometimes drinking tea from its leaves) is currently the most popular in Somalia and Yemen. Accurate data varies from source to source, but they all indicate that more than half of the population of these countries at least occasionally uses this substance. According to aztekium.pl in Somalia it is even 100%, while in Yemen 60% of men and 35% of women take khat every day or for a long time. The popularity of this substance can therefore be compared in these areas to the popularity of coffee in Europe. Its use is also popular in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda. In Europe and the US it is mainly used by immigrants.
In countries where khat is most popular, it is legal to use and grow this plant. It is also the main source of income for most of the population in these areas. The plant does not have high requirements, it is easy to grow and its prices do not change much, which ensures a stable and safe income.
In Europe, both pure cathinone and growing khat are illegal. The exception is Great Britain, where the plant is currently legal, but this is expected to change in July 2014. Until recently it was also legal in the Netherlands. (Note: I wrote this article in March 2014, now I only translated it to English. I will check the current law in free time.)
Structure of cathinone
Cathinone is a derivative of amphetamine, its other name is β-ketoamphetamine. It differs from amphetamine by having a ketone group (CO).
Effects of cathinone
Because of its similarity to amphetamine, cathinone is sometimes called "natural amphetamine." It also probably has similar effects on the brain (increased levels of noradrenaline and dopamine). The effects after taking cathinone are faster than after amphetamine, but they last less and are half as much. The weaker effect is also affected by the dose. Within 3 – 6 hours on average 100-300 g of khat leaves are chewed. The cathinone content is 30 – 200 mg per 100 g of fresh leaves, as a result of chewing up to 90% of cathinone is extracted, which corresponds to a low or medium dose of amphetamine, but the laborious and slow digestion process limits the dose level.
After taking cathinone, there is an increase in blood pressure, increased heart rate and mydriasis, as well as faster thinking and faster association. Some say it works just like strong coffee. After about 1 – 1.5 hours, a gradual sedation begins, which usually lasts up to about 3 hours, but can last up to 24. During this phase, anxiety, irritability and melancholy are also possible.
In the body, cathinone breaks down into cathine (norpseudoephedrine) and norephedrine. They are very similar molecules – they are their stereoisomers, i.e. they consist of the same atoms, but only spatially arranged differently.
The breakdown of cathinone into cathine and norephedrine also occurs in khat leaves. For this reason, only fresh leaves are suitable for chewing. After 48 – 72 hours, the cathinone content is very low. Cathine is also a psychocative substance, but it has a much weaker effect than cathinone.
Higher doses of cathinone cause very strong thirst, verbosity, loss of appetite and insomnia. Manic behavior, delusions, paranoia, hallucinations, disorders of the nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems as well as aggressive behaviors may also occur.
The effects of long-term use of cathinone are not yet fully understood. Research indicates the possibility of mild depression, mucosal problems, hypertension, cardiovascular complications, duodenal ulcers, liver damage and sexual dysfunction. A lower weight of newborns of chewing mothers khat was also observed. However, the causal relationship of these problems is not confirmed – are they actually caused by chewing khat, or is it just a correlation.
The addictive potential of cathinone is lower than many other drugs, although it is still unknown.
Methcathninone
Methcathinone (ephedrone), called M-Cat, jeff or cat among users, is an artificial substance. The description of the first synthesis is known from 1928. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was used in the USSR as an antidepressant. As a drug it has been known in the USA since the 1990s and in Poland only for a few years.
Structure of methcathinone
As the name suggests, methcathinone is a cathinone molecule with a methyl group (CH3) attached. It is also similar to methamphetamine, as is cathinone to amphetamine.
metamphetamine
Preparation of methcathinone
Methcathinone owes its popularity to the possibility of obtaining at home from generally available substances. It is obtained from pseudoephedrine, which is a component of over-the-counter medicines for runny nose, which is oxidized to methcathinone. In Poland, potassium permanganate is usually used as the oxidant, which is available in chemical stores. During this reaction, however, manganese also precipitates, which in high concentrations is toxic to nervous tissue. The effects of manganese poisoning can include parkinsonism (symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease). In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, another substance is reportedly used as an oxidant that does not cause such effects, but I have not been able to find out what the substance is.
Effects of methcathinone
Methcathinone is a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, thus increasing their concentration in synapses. Its use causes an increase in mood, increased psychomotor drive and motivation to act, talkative and willingness to communicate with other people, improved self-esteem, as well as reduced appetite and need for sleep. Accelerated, shallow breathing, tachycardia, increased blood pressure, mydriasis, dry mouth, polyuria and temporary impotence may also occur.
Among users of forum hyperreal 3/4 admits that they feel after the first phase of stimulation, the "comedown" phase. Its symptoms may include malaise, fatigue, thoughtfulness, depression, nervousness, guilt.
After oral administration, methcathinone effects begin after about 20 minutes and lasts 4-6 hours. After intravenous administration, they are stronger, start faster and last shorter.
In the body, methylcathinone breaks down (reduction reaction) to pseudoephedrine, which is metabolized only to a small extent and is excreted in the urine, mostly in unchanged form.
An overdose of methcathinone can cause distracting headache, hallucinations and feeling of dying.
It is a very addictive drug, tolerance can occur after 3-4 uses.

What's Wrong with Having a 13th Juror? Anything?
November 22, 2019 | Robin Frazer Clark
Recently, there have been a couple of criminal cases heard by the Georgia Supreme Court which have involved the trial judge's inherent duty to be the final arbiter of fairness and justice in the courtroom. Sometime this is referred to as the "13th Juror," because the trial judge sometimes must base her or his ultimate decision on the facts, testimony and documentary evidence presented at trial…things an appellate court would not be in a position to know. A recent discussion about the notion of the trial judge as 13th juror came in an appeal of a criminal case, State v. Hamilton, 832 S.E.2d 836 (Ga. Sup. Ct. September 3, 2019) in which the Georgia Supreme Court heard oral argument on the issue of whether the trial judge was authorized to toss out three counts of assault when that the jury had convicted the defendant on, in the judge's opinion, there was no way factually or legally for those three counts to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court affirmed the trial court's granting of a new trial. "Having reviewed the entire record, and considering that the trial court was authorized, as the thirteenth juror, to discount Taylor's and Hewatt's testimony and to credit Hamilton's story, and bearing in mind the standard of review set forth in OCGA § 5-5-50, we cannot say that the trial court's conclusion was an abuse of its substantial discretion to grant Hamilton a new trial. See Hamilton, 299 Ga. at 670-671, 791 S.E.2d 51 ("An appellate court will not disturb the first grant of a new trial based on the general grounds unless the trial court abused its discretion in granting it and the law and the facts demand the verdict rendered.")."
In another case recently argued before the Georgia Supreme Court, the Court told the Fulton County D.A., who was appealing a trial judge's granting of a new trial, that the D.A. was "wasting the Court's time" with such an appeal when the trial judge clearly has the power, right and, arguably, the duty, to grant a new trial. In that case, State v. Beard, NO. S19A0535 (Ga. Sup. Ct. October 31, 2019) quoted below, the Supreme Court's opinion called the D.A.'s position "bizarre." "Contrary to the State's bizarre argument, the jury's verdict was not demanded by the "great physical laws of the universe." ("An appellate court will not disturb the first grant of a new trial based on the general grounds unless the trial court abused its discretion in granting it and the law and the facts demand the verdict rendered.").'
State v. Beard, S19A0535, 2019 WL 5656338, at 4 (Ga. Oct. 31, 2019). Since then, the Fulton County D.A. dismissed its appeal and has vowed to take his argument to the Georgia Legislature in an attempt to get legislation passed that will eliminate this inherent duty and power of the trial judge.
Georgia Law has long recognized the inherent power and duty of a trial judge to ensure a trial has been conducted with fairness and justice. A trial judge has the power to grant a new trial in the event a jury's verdict does not comport with that sense of justice and fairness. Under O.C.G.A. § 5-5-20, Verdict contrary to evidence and principles of justice and equity, "In any case when the verdict of a jury is found contrary to evidence and the principles of justice and equity, the judge presiding may grant a new trial before another jury." In interpreting that law, the Georgia appellate courts have insisted that trial judges cut a wide swath of discretion in ruling on a Motion for New Trial and that ruling will not be disturbed on appeal except when there has been a "manifest abuse of discretion." "It is well established that even when the evidence is legally sufficient to sustain a conviction, a trial judge may grant a new trial if the verdict of the jury is "contrary to … the principles of justice and equity," OCGA § 5–5–20, or if the verdict is "decidedly and strongly against the weight of the evidence." OCGA § 5–5–21. When properly raised in a timely motion, these grounds for a new trial—commonly known as the "general grounds"—require the trial judge to exercise a "broad discretion to sit as a 'thirteenth juror.' " In exercising that discretion, the trial judge must consider some of the things that she cannot when assessing the legal sufficiency of the evidence, including any conflicts in the evidence, the credibility of witnesses, and the weight of the evidence. Although the discretion of a trial judge to award a new trial on the general grounds is not boundless—it is, after all, a discretion that "should be exercised with caution [and] invoked only in exceptional cases in which the evidence preponderates heavily against the verdict"—it nevertheless is, generally speaking, a substantial discretion." State v. Beard, S19A0535, 2019 WL 5656338, at 4 (Ga. Oct. 31, 2019). "Manifest abuse of discretion" essentially means the trial court's decision will be affirmed by the appellate court…99.9% of the time.
The Georgia Supreme Court recently held in State v. Hamilton, "Even when the evidence is legally sufficient to sustain a conviction, a trial judge may grant a new trial if the verdict of the jury is "contrary to … the principles of justice and equity," OCGA § 5–5–20, or if the verdict is "decidedly and strongly against the weight of the evidence." OCGA § 5–5–21. When properly raised in a timely motion, these grounds for a new trial—commonly known as the "general grounds"—require the trial judge to exercise a "broad discretion to sit as a 'thirteenth juror.' " In exercising that discretion, the trial judge must consider some of the things that [he] cannot when assessing the legal sufficiency of the evidence, including any conflicts in the evidence, the credibility of witnesses, and the weight of the evidence. Although the discretion of a trial judge to award a new trial on the general grounds is not boundless—it is, after all, a discretion that "should be exercised with caution [and] invoked only in exceptional cases in which the evidence preponderates heavily against the verdict"—it nevertheless is, generally speaking, a substantial discretion." State v. Hamilton, 832 S.E.2d 836, 841 (Ga. 2019).
In fact, Georgia historically recognizes that inherent judicial authority so much that it permits a trial judge to grant an "extraordinary" motion for new trial when such a motion is filed even years after the trial in the event new evidence is exposed. For example, in Ford Motor Co. v. Conley, 294 Ga. 530 (2014), a case I was privileged to argue before the Georgia Supreme Court, the trial judge granted an extraordinary motion for new trial when it came to light two years after the trial that Ford Motor Co. that Ford Motor had numerous insurance policies on which the jury should have been qualified as to for the jury panel to be legitimate.
A trial judge's rulings within the trial and afterward, with respect to motions for a new trial, is given extreme deference by appellate courts. The Georgia Supreme Court has emphasized this in Conley: "Unlike this Court or the Court of Appeals, the trial court directly supervised the ebb and flow of the discovery and trial process in this case and had the opportunity to observe and assess the conduct, demeanor, and credibility of the parties and their counsel throughout the proceedings, as well as the witnesses presented on this specific issue at the motion for new trial hearing." (" '[T]rial judges, through their direct involvement with the case, the parties, and the attorneys, and their familiarity with the actions of the parties in the conduct of discovery in similar cases that are properly brought to their attention, are in the best position to evaluate the parties' conduct and to determine the appropriate level of [discovery] sanctions.' " (citation omitted)); Santora v. American Combustion, Inc., 225 Ga.App. 771, 772, 485 S.E.2d 34 (1997) ("In determining whether a party has abused discovery, the trial court sits as trier of fact, and this Court will uphold a finding of wilful discovery abuse if there is any evidence to support it.").
I realize that I blogged just last year about the role of a trial judge, so it is, obviously, important to me. There is nothing at all unusual about a judge acting in her role as the 13th juror. It has been part of our jurisprudence for as long as we have been a nation. And don't you want the judge to be able to inject fairness and justice into the system when the judge can see for herself that something has gone off the rails? A sense of justice is one quality in a person running for the bench that we look for in deciding who to vote for for judge, since we elect our trial court judges here in Georgia. If a trial court judge can't intercede when there has obviously been a miscarriage of justice, then the trial judge is nothing more than a mere potted plant. Without the inherent power and duty to insure justice has been done, you might just well as have a referee. And that the Fulton County District Attorney wants to undo that hallmark of American Jurisprudence is telling.

What shipbuilding crisis?
These are bountiful days in U.S. shipyards, but the industry may be steaming into rough seas
After a decade-long decline in U.S. military shipbuilding budgets, from $11.5 billion in 1991 outlays to $6.7 billion in 2000, spending on ship construction is back to the $10 billion level. The Navy is building new generations of submarines, supply ships and expeditionary warfare vessels. The venerable Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and Arleigh Burke destroyers are still in production. Furthermore, new destroyer, aircraft carrier and littoral vessel designs are in development, moving quickly toward metal. Today, at some shipyards, the challenge is not finding more work but finding enough workers.
Today's good times will roll for a while to come. The two major shipbuilders, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, at the end of 2005 reported a backlog of $26 billion worth of shipbuilding work — almost 2½ years of revenue. The Bush administration's recent budget submission for fiscal 2007 to 2011 calls for almost doubling the number of ships being constructed. This indicates that the industry has visibility into its near-term future.
And the optimists would say that the longer-term outlook also is becoming clearer. After years of declining fleet sizes, the Navy's latest 30-year shipbuilding plan calls for significantly increasing the number of ships in the U.S. fleet from the current 281 ships to 315 by 2012, and 330 by 2018. Even better, in their view, the long-skeptical Defense Department is on board. While the Quadrennial Defense Review didn't mention concrete numbers for future fleet size, it endorses some major elements of the Navy 30-year plan, such as maintaining 11 aircraft carriers and procuring two attack submarines per year by 2012.
As one executive in the industry remarked publicly, "It would be churlish of me to complain."
But talk to long-term planners, defense and financial analysts, and some on Capitol Hill, and you hear quite another story. The short-term glut of shipbuilding work is a just a passing flurry, they say. Trouble — big trouble — lies ahead for the industry. And they're sailing into it, full speed ahead.
To the gloomy folks, the math is simple. The rising cost of ships inside a relatively static defense top line means that, at best, the Navy will be able to start nine new ships each year. However, not all ships are equal. Two-thirds of the planned new ships will be the smaller Littoral Combat Ships, and they are not being built in the major shipyards. So the best the industry can hope for is three or four new major combatant hulls and a few support ships a year — for six shipyards that have the physical capacity to build 40 ships a year (remembering that the industry is at capacity as far as labor is concerned).
And that arithmetic covers just the six privately owned shipyards, now concentrated in two firms, Northrop Grumman's Newport News in Virginia, Ingalls in Mississippi and Avondale in Louisiana, and General Dynamics's Bath Iron Works in Maine, Electric Boat in Connecticut and NASSCO in California. It does not count the four major government-owned shipyards, which the recent Base Closure and Realignment Commission left open — Portsmouth, Maine; Norfolk, Va.; Bremerton, Wash.; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. While the public yards mainly do repair work, they do compete with the major privately owned yards — the smaller ones, too — for that work and the associated budgets. So, the pessimists would note, the real mathematics are three or four new ships plus repair orders trying to keep 10 shipyards afloat. Any way you count 'em, the Navy has a lot of yards chasing just a little work.
This is a problem that will be hard to solve. Of course, one way to solve the overcapacity issue would be to increase industry revenues. Navy plans call for an increase in the shipbuilding accounts to $14 billion a year, which would certainly be welcome to the industry and would solve many of its problems. But it's probably too rosy a scenario.
Too rosy in two ways: First, that $14 billion level will be difficult to achieve given the internal pressures the Navy budget faces from constantly rising personnel costs, exploding health care costs, and mounting operations and maintenance expenses. Second, even if the $14 billion budget could be achieved, cost overruns in each of the programs still would limit the number of ships that could be built. Both translate into fewer numbers of ships being built.
Congress — and members from shipbuilding states populate the military committees in the House and Senate — does its best to help the Navy. Even though today's political realities restrict Congress' ability to add significant funds to the defense top line — as a Republican Congress is naturally reluctant to declare a Republican president's budget insufficient — there are other ways to help. For example, traditional budget rules say that defense hardware has to be paid for in the year it is authorized. But with price tags for major naval combatants ranging from $1.5 billion to $5.6 billion, funding a ship in a single year crowds out a lot of other possible spending. So Congress has waived the rules, allowing ships to be bought on an easier annual installment plan ("gotta waive the rules in order to rule the waves"). Further use of incremental funding is being considered.
Sharing overhead by diversifying into commercial shipbuilding, a strategy used by the shipbuilding industry in the past to absorb excess capacity, is no longer a real option. The historical track record of commercial diversification by the naval shipbuilders has been disastrous. Each time the industry claims it has learned its lessons from the past and experiments with building oil tankers, cargo ships and cruise ships, the answer is the same: massive financial losses and write-offs. Today, Wall Street punishes any management team that even suggests re-entering the commercial shipbuilding market, and the current senior executives bear enough scars from prior endeavors that it is rarely considered.
If increasing future demand significantly is constrained, the next logical option would be to reduce supply — let shipyards close. Although this has been done in the past, attempting to reduce the number of shipyards from their current numbers is fraught with political difficulty. As large employers in each of their respective states, shipyards bring along a lot of economic impact and votes. That gives Congress little inducement to rationalize the private or public shipyards, even if such rationalization is part of a comprehensive solution to the looming overcapacity problem. "Closing shipyards" is the defense equivalent of "reforming social security."
And as with social entitlements, policy and politics are hard to rationalize. Congress and the executives of the individual shipyards have every incentive to compel the Navy to build ships in as many yards as possible. Most recently, contracts for the future destroyer, the DD(X), were changed from winner-take-all to multiple yards, largely because of pressure from concerned members of the House and Senate. Their concern usually is stated as "preserving the shipbuilding industrial base" — making sure that the United States has enough capacity to build the ships it needs here at home in case of a future naval threat. Advocates of multiyard contracts also point to the preservation of competition, and that ensuring there are two yards to build each class of ship is pro-competition.
Critics would say that with so few ships being built, it is hard to make a strong argument for retaining that much overcapacity. Furthermore, the logic of sustaining competition is put under strain when there are few future points of competition. In aircraft carriers, the Navy went to a monopoly supplier some time ago. And while Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics each own a submarine yard, the low rate of submarine production has led them to join in a teaming arrangement in which they function as a single yard, all the while keeping capacity available and awaiting a promised higher production rate.
Even Mother Nature seems to be on the side of the shipyards. The Hurricane Katrina disaster shifted the argument somewhat back to those who argue for distributed and redundant capacity. The impact the disaster had on the oil industry, which concentrated much of its oil transshipment and refining capacity on the Gulf Coast, as well as the damage to the naval shipyards in the region, was eye-opening to some. The benefits of efficiency versus the risk of single points of failure were cast in a new light. The redundancy argument, however, does not reduce the prospect of or imperative for reducing excess capacity and increasing efficiency within the yards ("shrinking in place").
PROGRAM PERVERSITIES
The ability to increase the efficiency of the shipyards and reduce excess capacity in place runs into some perverse disincentives. The annual appropriations and contracting for ships makes it difficult for the shipyards to commit to long contracts with vendors. Therefore, any potential cost advantages gained from volume or long-term buying are constrained and less-than-optimal, let alone any savings gained from buying supplies for an entire class of ships. Furthermore, the ability to retain the savings generated and turn them into higher profits is limited by negotiated share lines and annual renegotiation of contracts. Lastly, the separation of budgets between the ship construction accounts and the operations and maintenance accounts creates artificial barriers that can distort trade-offs between installing a technology or product that costs more to manufacture but may result in considerable savings in future operations or maintenance.
Another set of perverse behaviors is a direct consequence of the low production rates. The massive infrastructure costs of the shipyards, the personnel overhead and all of the new technology being developed have to be absorbed in the price of a handful of ships each year. This, naturally, makes individual ships more expensive, shockingly so in some cases. Often, the reaction by Congress, to save money, is to stretch out the program or cut the number of ships to be bought. This forces the same nonrecurring costs to be spread over even fewer ships, further increasing the unit cost, shocking everyone further and raising suspicions of incompetence. Keep this downward spiral going for a few cycles and ultimately the program gets canceled because it is unaffordable. This tyranny of unit-cost budgeting is truly the bane of the Navy and the shipbuilding industry in a low production-rate environment.
DEATH BY 'CAPABILITIES?'
Is the shipbuilding glass half full or half empty? The problem is the actors involved are looking at different glasses. Shipbuilders, the Navy and Congress want to build a lot of ships, each for different reasons. Continued production means continued employment for voters, longer-term amortization of existing shipyard assets and more sea command billets. The absolute number of ships becomes a key metric.
Others, such as, well, the secretary of defense, take a different view. They are less interested in the number of ships bought, preferring fewer hulls but building in greater capability. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told a December town hall meeting at the Pentagon that the size of the fleet does not matter, provided that it delivers the capabilities laid out in the Quadrennial Defense Review. In a budget-constrained environment, will a capabilities-based military be willing to shell out the nearly $3 billion per year extra required to meet the Navy's shipbuilding goals? Time will tell.
Still, there must be something attractive about the business, as Boeing and Lockheed Martin — both much better known as aircraft makers — have recently gotten into shipbuilding, both competing on the Littoral Combat Ship program. But they did so in a different fashion, as systems integration firms, not shipyard owners. And they are focused on the next generation of ships, with exotic hull forms built of materials other than traditional steel. With their ability to inject technology and capital in new directions rather than being captive to older facilities and capabilities, the new neighbors' arrival cannot be much comfort to the traditional shipbuilders.
But why complain when the yards are humming? Today's a good day to be a shipbuilder. But tomorrow?

It was my great good fortune to participate in biology throughout the second half of the 20th century, thereby witnessing at close hand its emergence as a premier science equal to physics and chemistry. I began as a boy who turned a fascination with insects into a determination to become a professional entomologist. My dream was not visionary. What I truly hoped for was to stay outdoors as long as possible to luxuriate in the pleasures of natural history.
During my teens, spent in Alabama and northern Florida, I waffled a bit. I had a butterfly and ant period, then a snake period, and next an excursion into birds and freshwater fishes. Finally, at the age of 16, I decided that to succeed in life I had better pick a group of insects on which to be a world authority. Such are the pleasures of growing up in an intellectual vacuum, with no competitors and no sense of limitation on my own potential.
I chose flies. Flies are important! There are myriad species, including the tiny jewel-like dolichopodids that dance everywhere on sunlit leaves. I soon discovered, however, that to make collections of flies it is necessary to use the specialised insect pins that can be purchased from scientific supply houses. But the pins were not available because of shortages caused by the second world war. So I turned back to ants, which can be preserved and studied in local pharmacy prescription bottles filled with rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.
In 1949, while a senior at the University of Alabama, I published my first article on ants, a brief report on the spread of the red imported fire ant. Thereafter, through graduate studies and a teaching career at Harvard University in the decades that followed, ants retained their fascination for me. Like so many naturalists before me, I found that ants are a magical well; as Karl von Frisch said of his beloved honeybees: the more you draw from them, the more there is to draw.
From the study of ants, and all their diversity, I was able to venture away from entomology into other sub-disciplines of biology, including systematics, biogeography, animal communication, sociobiology and environmental science.
I followed instinctively one of the guiding principles for the conduct of biological research: for every organism there exist scientific problems the solutions to which that organism is ideally suited to revealing. Colon bacteria serve well for molecular genetics, fruit flies for the genetics of developmental programs, and nematode worms for the mapping of nervous systems. Ants have proved optimal, as one would expect, for the biology of social behaviour, but also for pheromones and many aspects of ecology.
My first published article at the age of 19 was a report on the notorious red imported fire ant, depicting this species in its earliest expansion across the southern US. It was not, however, my first publishable observation. In 1942, while exploring the ants of my neighbourhood in Mobile, I discovered a nest of the invader near the port docks and subsequently reported. It was one of the first two observations of the species in the US.

By Aeschylus, Robert Fagles (Translated by), Robert Fagles (Introduction by), W. B. Stanford (Introduction by), Robert Fagles (Notes by), W. B. Stanford (Notes by)
In the Oresteia Aeschylus addressed the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration. In Agamemnon, a king's decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution; The Libation Bearers deals with the aftermath of Clytemnestra's regicide, as her son Orestes sets out to avenge his father's death; and in The Eumenides, Orestes is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased. Forming an elegant and subtle discourse on the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, The Oresteia is a compelling tragedy of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society.
The only trilogy in Greek drama that survives from antiquity, Aeschylus' The Oresteia is translated by Robert Fagles with an introduction, notes and glossary written in collaboration with W.B. Stanford in Penguin Classics.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Aeschylus was born of noble family near Athens in 525 BC. He took part in the Persian Wars, and his epitaph represents him as fighting at Marathon. He wrote more than seventy plays, of which only seven have survived, all translated for Penguin Classics: The Supplicants, The Persians, Seven Against Thebes, Prometheus Bound, Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers and The Eumenides.
"Conveys more vividly and powerfully than any of the ten competitors I have consulted the eternal power of this masterpiece ... a triumph." —Bernard Levin
"How satisfying to read at last a modern translation which is rooted in Greek feeling and Greek thought ... both the stature and the profound instinctive genius of Aeschylus are recognised." —Mary Renault, author of The King Must Die

Transcript: Sky News talking Inequality
10.58pm | June 16, 2017
TV INTERVIEW - SKY - PETER VAN ONSELEN - THURSDAY 16 JUNE 2017
PETER VAN ONSELEN: Welcome to the Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate, Senator McAllister. It doesn't have to be as binary as how I'm about the describe it but nonetheless I'm keen to know your thoughts on what you think is the lesser of evils in this binary choice: wealth going up for everyone, but a widening gap nonetheless, which creates more inequality, or wealth not rising as fast overall, however with a reduced gap between the haves and the have-nots. Would you go for the latter?
JENNY MCALLLISTER: Peter you'd be correct in assessing that I actually wouldn't choose either, because all the advice that we're getting, is that more equal societies are likely to grow more quickly. That's not just coming from ratbag lefties, that's coming from bodies like the IMF. Their calculation is that, across the globe, what we're seeing is that the countries that are more equal actually have had more success in sustaining growth over the last decade.
VAN ONSELEN: Can we get into that, because I knew that's where you were going to go and in a sense that's the whole premise of the reason that we're having this discussion. Because the way I put it, the binary way I put it, is the way it's often been traditionally described. If you want to have that reduced gap between haves and have-nots, you have to settle for lower growth, because that economic liberalism drives everybody north but not necessarily without inequality ensuing. Take us through some of the societies that you're talking about, that the IMF have identified that do it differently, and then perhaps we can talk about some of the ways they do it differently.
MCALLISTER: Interestingly, Australia is actually a real success story in this regard. We, like most of the developed economies, have seen a widening gap between rich and poor, but the gap for us has not widened nearly as fast as it has in other countries. We are still a significantly more equal society than places like the United States or the United Kingdom. The consequence of that -
VAN ONSELEN: So we're not as bad. At the moment, the way that the political class, writ large across different tiers of government, are operating, we're on the good side of the ledger as far as this debate goes, obviously we can always do more would be your point, but we're on the good side of the ledger.
MCALLISTER: If you want to look at the stats, we're actually in about the middle. Australia sits in about the middle in terms of the OECD in terms of inequality. But in terms of our historic performance, we're at a 75 year high. And interestingly, it's starting to translate, I believe, into some of the concerns we're seeing in the economy. We've had the Reserve Bank for example, warning of concerns they have about slowing economic growth being linked to slowing household propensity to consume. And concerns about the fact that that in turn is driven by this very low wages growth. We've even got a Liberal government talking from time to time about their concerns about slow wages growth, although I'd observe that, to date, they have taken absolutely no steps to do anything about that problem. But they are now at least willing to acknowledge, along with the Reserve Bank, and other senior economic bodies in Australia, that this is a problem for the Australian economy.
VAN ONSELEN: On this issue, quite often commentators, I've done this myself, talk about the major parties as having become Tweedledee and Tweedledum, there's a clamber for the centre ground if you like. What do both parties, or if you want to be partisan about it, target the Government, what do major parties need to do, to try to do more, to drive down inequality and take on what the IMF and others are saying, therefore drive up overall wealth.
MCALLISTER: On that Tweedledee and Tweedledum question, I actually really reject that, and particularly on this issue of inequality. I think it is one of the defining differences between the Labor Party and the Coalition parties at this point in time. We see the Coalition parties consistently putting forward policies that advantage only the wealthy, or punish only working and middle class Australians. By contrast I think we see Labor acting very actively to pull in the other direction. For example in the last Budget, we saw a removal of the Temporary Deficit Levy, a levy that applied to the top 2% of Australian income earners, but at the same time a tax increase, an increase to the Medicare levy, that would apply to all Australians earning over $21,000 a year. So you see a tax change to that rewards the wealthiest Australians but increases tax on really quite poor Australians. For me that's an example of the Coalition being reasonably indifferent to the impacts of their tax policy on inequality. (inaudible) And it is one of the reasons that, when the Government put forward its change to the Medicare levy, to increase it by half a percent, for all Australians, we've said no. We think it should be for the Australians in the higher tax brackets only. That lower, middle earning and working class people really need to be given a bit of break. If it's good enough for high income earners to have their tax taken off them, then we don't really think that should be paid for by increased taxes on ordinary Australians.
VAN ONSELEN: We're going to have to leave it there.
