A recommended new blog
My old friend and fellow cavalry historian Bob O'Neill has started a new blog that I want to recommend to you. Bob is THE authority of the cavalry battles in the Loudoun Valley of Virginia during the Gettysburg, and that's one of the focuses of the blog, which is called Small but Important Riots. That's the title of Bob's excellent but LONG out of print on these engagements from 1993. Bob's working a new edition–truly excellent news for those of us interested in these fascinating engagements–and has also written a very good book on the cavalry division assigned to the defenses of Washington until just before the Battle of Gettysburg that I commend to you.
Bob's new blog, which I have added to the blogroll, focuses on cavalry actions in the Loudoun Valley, and contains some really interesting bits. If you have an interest in Civil War cavalry, please check it out.
One VERY bad idea….

Civil War Museum transfers collection to Gettysburg with Constitution Center exhibit planned
Updated: May 4, 2016 — 3:22 AM EDT
by Stephan Salisbury, Culture Writer
The homeless Civil War Museum of Philadelphia, steward of what scholars regard as one of the finest collections of Civil War materials anywhere but possessing no place to display them, reached an agreement Monday to transfer ownership of its roughly 3,000 artifacts to the Gettysburg Foundation, the private, nonprofit partner of the National Park Service.
At the same time, the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall has agreed to mount a permanent exhibition exploring the constitutional impact of the Civil War, using artifacts drawn from what is now the foundation's Gettysburg collection.
It is believed it will be the first museum exhibit exploring the war's constitutional legacy.
Like the Flying Dutchman, the Civil War Museum has traveled for years, rich in its memories of the dead, but invisible and portless in the land of the living.
"Our goal is to preserve the collection with integrity and to ensure the collection will be available to the citizens of Philadelphia," said Oliver St. Clair Franklin, board chairman of the Civil War Museum. "And we're very pleased the National Constitution Center is going to preserve space for an exhibition to explore what was our greatest constitutional crisis."
Joanne M. Hanley, president of the Gettysburg Foundation, which owns and operates the visitor center and 22,000-square-foot museum at Gettysburg National Military Park, called the collection "priceless."
"The significance of these pieces, you can't put into words," she said. "There's no hyperbole that can describe them."
Jeffrey Rosen, chief executive and president of the Constitution Center, said the future constitutional exhibition, focusing on passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, would be a few years in the making.
For one thing, he said, all money for the exhibition, which he estimated might cost up to $2 million, would have to be in hand before proceeding.
"Our exhibition is contingent on securing funding in advance," he said. "As soon as the funds are secured, we'll have a better sense of the timeline."
The postwar constitutional amendments, among other things, abolished slavery, addressed equal protection under the law, defined citizenship, and guaranteed the right to vote.
Sharon Smith, president and chief executive of the Civil War Museum, said the collection was currently in storage at Gettysburg, where it played a central role in the Gettysburg Foundation's commemorative exhibition related to the sesquicentennial of the Battle of Gettysburg.
That exhibition closed last year, but Hanley said the collection would be deeply mined for a long-term exhibition scheduled to open at the end of June on the art of the Civil War.
"We will always have major pieces on view," Hanley said.
Smith said she believed the agreement with the foundation and the NCC would conclude the Civil War Museum's odyssey, which began in earnest about a decade ago and has included lawsuits, virtual closure, failed partnership efforts, an aborted relocation to Richmond, Va., a failed state bailout, a failed deal with Independence National Historical Park, and seemingly endless searches for a home.
"It's been like a soap opera," Smith said. "It's been going on for years and years."
The roots of the museum go back to the end of the Civil War, when Union officers formed the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS). In 1888 they founded a museum in Philadelphia, and over the years, Union officers and their descendants donated a rich array of artifacts, including plaster casts of Lincoln's hands and face, battle photos, Jefferson Davis' smoking jacket, battle flags, the first John Wilkes Booth wanted poster, bullet-riddled tree trunks, photos of black soldiers and regiments, diaries, letters, drawings, swords, and firearms – a seemingly endless stream of personal, quirky, evocative objects.
For years, the collection was housed in a stately Pine Street mansion. But internal squabbles broke out in 2000, sparked by dwindling finances, declining visitation, a failed affiliation with the Union League, and an incendiary proposal to move everything to a new museum in Richmond, former capital of the Confederacy.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office stepped in and blocked the Richmond move. In the next several years, the Pine Street building was sold. An effort to move into the historic First Bank of the United States, located in Independence Park, fell through. The artifacts found homes in boxes, and the museum searched in vain for a home in Philadelphia, city of its birth.
On the plus side, however, a strong affiliation grew with the Gettysburg Foundation, which has conserved and stored much of the museum's collection and now stores it, officials said.
(The famous preserved head of Gen. George G. Meade's horse, Old Baldy, which was displayed by the Civil War Museum for many years, was returned to its owner, the Grand Army of the Republic Museum and Library in Frankford, in 2010.)
The framework of the agreement just announced – the transfer of ownership of artifacts to Gettysburg, with a subsequent long-term loan to the NCC – emerged in the last two years as the best alternative to a stand-alone Philadelphia museum housing the collection.
In an April 25 letter to museum chair Franklin, the head of MOLLUS in Pennsylvania said his organization was "saddened" to learn that despite "a decade of work," the museum would not have a new museum home in Philadelphia.
That said, commander-in-chief James Alan Simmons wrote that the museum's plan of transferring the artifacts to the Gettysburg Foundation is "prudent and appropriate" and "the best alternative."
The Civil War Museum, while giving its artifacts to Gettysburg, remains owner of an archive of more than 10,000 documents – journals, diaries, papers, photographs, books. Those materials are housed at the Union League, under a separate stewardship agreement, and are available for research.
"We're running on fumes," Smith said, regarding the museum's finances. "There's virtually no money. We're down to a very small amount. That's why it's important to make sure all this is taken care of."

@SPSalisbury
Count me as being vehemently opposed to this arrangement. Having seen that collection, I know it is nothing short of spectacular. The airport terminal that is the Gettysburg Visitor Center already fails to display the vast majority of the artifacts in the Rosensteel Collection, claiming lack of display space. If that's the case, what are the odds of even a small percentage of these items ever being displayed again? Slim to none.
Shame on former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell for breaching the agreement to fund a new museum.
These items should be on display at the National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg, where at least they would be seen, instead of languishing in storage.
The Constitution Center exhibit will be great. I attended an event with Jeffrey Rosen at Dickinson College in March, and know him to be a dedicated and enthusiastic director of a great project. But that exhibit is NOT a Civil War exhibit. It's constitutional law exhibit, and there is no place in it for most of the artifacts in the MOLLUS Museum's collection.
I will, however, be pleased to see some of those artifacts back home in Philadelphia where they belong, which will be the best thing about that exhibit.

AMD's Reliance on TSMC Isn't Harming the Company's Growth Prospects
By Joel Hruska on February 11, 2021 at 12:30 pm
It has been difficult to buy high-end PC components for nearly six months. There are a number of reasons for this, including pandemic-related impacts, the related surge in demand for all computing hardware, and supply shortages. A lot of eyeballs have been trained on foundries like TSMC, to the point that national governments have put pressure on the foundry to increase automotive chip production. AMD is one of the companies most-impacted by these production shortages, because AMD designed the SoCs for the recently-launched PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X as well as its own RDNA2 GPUs and Ryzen CPUs.
At first glance, this decision to rely on TSMC for its products may seem shortsighted and an obvious point of weakness in the company's supply strategy. That's the argument Mark Campbell makes at Overclock3D, where he writes:
Had AMD had access to more fab space, the company could produce more chips and generate more sales by having more sellable products on the market. AMD's overreliance on TSMC's 7nm node is hurting them. This is also a problem for TSMC, as their lack of 7nm fab space gives their competitors more room to grow and is leaving demand/money on the table… In the future, AMD will need to consider diversifying its product stack, utilising competing nodes from the likes of Samsung to manufacture some of its products.
Campbell's analysis of the situation makes some strong points. AMD factually lost market share in Q4, and it lost share because it's supply constrained. If TSMC had more 7nm capacity online, AMD could have sold more chips and therefore made more money. He acknowledges that AMD can't quickly move its products away from TSMC, and his call for AMD to move to Samsung "in the future" acknowledges how long it takes to transition designs from one foundry to another, even if I didn't quote it above.
Where I disagree with Campbell is his statement that the current situation has "hampered AMD's growth prospects." We can only evaluate the growth prospects of a company in relation to the rest of the market as it currently exists. It's true that additional available 7nm capacity at TSMC would have given AMD more processors to sell, but these are not usual times. TMSC has been absolutely slammed with orders as a result of the pandemic, and production worldwide has been limited by shortages of materials like ABF.
While we don't have proof of this, there have been rumors that the reason Nvidia went with Samsung instead of TSMC this cycle was to ensure better supply of its Ampere hardware compared to what TSMC could guarantee. Let's assume, for the moment, that this is broadly true. Nvidia's decision to work with Samsung instead of TSMC did not keep Ampere on store shelves in late 2020. More recent industry reports, filed in the past few months, suggest that the reason we're seeing silicon shortages throughout the industry is partly because the foundries themselves are unable to secure sufficient supplies of necessary materials. Initial Ampere issues were blamed on low yields, but that situation is also rumored to have improved late last fall. If Samsung and TSMC are already manufacturing at peak capacity, an AMD decision to port designs to Samsung would not have solved their shortage problem.
Furthermore, there are downsides to working with multiple foundry partners. AMD would be paying twice to design the same CPU, and each version would have to be customized to the foundry it was built on. Samsung's 5nm node is different from TSMC's, and it doesn't offer the same improvements relative to TSMC's 5nm node. If AMD wanted to ship hardware at both TSMC and Samsung on the future 3nm node, it would need to design one version of a CPU to use Samsung's gate-all-around FETs (GAAFETs) and one to use FinFETs at TSMC.
Dual Sourcing Could Have Made the Pandemic Shortages Worse
There are two potential risks in dual sourcing. First, AMD would be betting that Samsung and TSMC could both hit its desired clock and power consumption targets. If one foundry had a problem doing so, AMD would have no choice but to lower its goals in order to ship a homogenous product (from a consumer perspective). This isn't just theoretical. When Apple dual-sourced the A9 from TSMC and Samsung, the TSMC chip had significantly better battery life. When it built phones using modems from Qualcomm and Intel, it limited the performance of the Qualcomm modem so the Intel modem wouldn't look slower. AMD could wind up in a situation where it had to limit the performance of a future Ryzen CPU to match what the weaker of its two foundry partners could ship.
5nm was a full node shrink for TSMC and essentially a quarter-node optimization for Samsung, according to Wikichip. Samsung's 6LPP, 5LPE and 4LPE are further optimizations and improvements to FinFET technology for companies who do not want to pay the cost of designing for GAAFETs.
The second risk of dual sourcing is more subtle. Imagine a hypothetical situation in which AMD had split its 7nm orders between TSMC and Samsung heading into 2020. For the purposes of this experiment, assume the pandemic plays out more-or-less as it did. With Team Red soaking up less of TSMC's 7nm capacity, Nvidia decides to build Ampere there, instead. The pandemic hits. AMD, like all semiconductor companies, attempts to ramp capacity while introducing new products, only to discover one foundry is having difficulty with yields. There is no option to increase orders at the other, because both are already building every chip they can produce for every other customer they've got.
In this scenario, attempting to dual-source products actually winds up being worse for AMD, not better. It had to pay twice to design Zen 3, because Samsung's 7nm uses EUV and AMD's design at TSMC does not. It has far fewer chips available than it would if it had only used the higher-yielding foundry. It has no option to increase production, because said higher-yielding foundry has no additional fab capacity available. In situations like we saw in 2020, where total semiconductor production is constricted globally due to unprecedented circumstances, it's possible for dual sourcing to become a liability rather than a strength.
Relying on TSMC has not hurt AMD's growth prospects. What hurt AMD's growth prospects in 2020 was an unprecedented pandemic that sent shockwaves through the semiconductor market by driving a massive demand surge at the same time that production got real complicated.
Campbell concludes his piece by writing "Intel has the ability to react to changes in demand in a way that AMD cannot, allowing them to grow despite the strength of their competition." This ignores the fact that Intel suffered its own significant chip shortage back in 2018 – 2019.
The reason Intel had the capacity to handle the impact of 2020 today is because Intel was literally building out new capacity for the past three years. Fab 42, Intel's new 10nm production facility, only came online last October. In 2018 – 2019, Intel also boosted its 14nm capacity by installing new lines in existing factories. When 2020 hit, Intel was able to take advantage of the fact that its new capacity was online and in-place. This was, of course, a very good thing for Intel — but it's a good thing that happened because Intel was struck by shortages in 2018 – 2019 and couldn't immediately respond to them.
Intel got lucky. Its own response to the shortages of 2018 and 2019 was strong enough to allow it to soak some of the increased demand for semiconductors in 2020. AMD's growth prospects have not been limited by its reliance on TSMC and there are intrinsic risks to dual sourcing at a time when capacity is scarce and production shortages limit production. All of the major foundry companies are planning capacity expansions and/or building new facilities, so the idea that AMD needs to jump ship from TSMC in order to boost production in the long term is untrue.

Nori stood in silent fury as Bliss scrambled for an insult. He no longer cared about Clayton; she was his new enemy, and he would kill her someday no matter the cost if his masters did not kill him for his failure. The humiliation of the scarf on his tongue made the taste of his defeat twice as bitter. With his limbs frozen, he could do nothing but stand there and watch while Bliss walked away.
Clayton could faintly hear yelling coming from outside his tomb of ice. He could not entirely make out what was being shouted and assumed it was just a scared office worker. There was nothing they could to do help him. He remained silent and continued at the door. Clayton was sure he might break his shoulder he kept it up. Then something happened; the person that was yelling found their way into the room. From the colors and outline that shone through the walls, he could tell it was the woman responsible for placing show She was talking to him, that much he could tell. The ice walls made it difficult to decipher exactly what she was saying. It was all mumbled sound to him. He shouted for her to get back, but she probably could not here him. It looked as if the prison was ready to collapse. If this attempt did not break the door down, it would be enough to topple the whole thing over on him. That was a risk he would have to take. He made a rush at the wall one more time. This one sent him crashing through and onto the ground again with water rushing out and ice crashing behind him. He looked up to Bliss from his position on the ground. He should have exploded at her for ruining his day. One million insults rushed through his brain at one million miles per hour; far too fast for any of them to connect with his mouth. Clayton opened his mouth, "Um, hi." was all he managed.

"Yeah, hi." Bliss stood back as the water rushed over her shoes. It looked cold but Bliss could felt water of a normal temperature. "I just finished taking care of that weird kid. I'm going to take him with us so that we can figure things out, also you might be thinking why does this girl think that she is coming with me, I'm handsome and a loner and only work alone because I'm a mixture of Joel McHale and Mickey Rooney before his face was run over by a truck. Well, you'll probably die without me, so by me coming with you I'm doing you a favor."
Bliss walked back to where she left Nori in his ice prison. The ice melted quickly when Bliss left, but when Bliss stepped back towards Nori the ice recoiled. "So, we're going to interrogate you, but not here. We have a special place we're going to take you." To make him more movable, and to avoid him freezing to death, Bliss allowed the ice to melt quickly. She froze the punks arms to his side and left the scarf around his mouth. "I'll lead him; you lead us to where we need to go to break this guy open." Bliss placed her hand to the back of his neck and prodded him forward.

"Die without you? Miss, you came closer to killing me today than anyone has in a while. But anyway, I'm just going to look past the Mickey Rooney comparison there and focus on the part where you called me handsome. Lead the way, Ms. I-Have-A-Closet-Full-Of-Vintage-babyrinne-Shirts." Clayton brought himself to his feet. The air around Bliss actually felt somewhat colder than it did in the house of ice, and his jeans and coat being half soaked by the fall only made it feel worse.
True to her word, the ice queen brought the American faggot back. She seemed to have no interest in harming the man. That meant she was helping him. But why? Was she a paid body guard or just some heroic idiot? Nori could not even begin to fathom the reasoning behind helping strangers without any form of compensation. Compassion was practically a foreign concept. Bliss made threats of interrogation. They did not phase Nori in the slightest. He would have rather died than tell them anything. Anything they could do, the company would do to him tenfold as punishment for talking too much; that is what they told him, anyway. He allowed his arms to be frozen to his sides and complied with the physical request to step forward with only the slightest hint of defiance.
"Come on, this way." The truth was that Clayton did not know where to take the kid for questioning. He did not want to risk making himself look any more foolish than he already had that day. So he made the most logical decision and picked a direction at random. He lead Ice Queen and Lightning Lad around the corner to the left. It was long and darkened hallway that only lead to another left. Once the group turned the corner they were greeted by sunlight shining in through the window wall of the hallway. The light revealed a rough looking man wielding a cane, and wearing expensive leather over coat. He looked like an older, slightly chubbier version of Clayton with longer, greasier hair and a face graced by a light beard and a scar along the side of his cheek. The man was being followed escorted by four men in black face masks with matching leather outfits. Clayton recognized the man as his father immediately. A sudden shock set in and rendered him temporarily immobile. He was staring face to face with a man he learned to fear most of his life.
"Well there you are, boy. See you finally made some friends." Washington Wray spoke to his son with a slight hint of a southern drawl in his voice that only amplified the venomous undertone to his words.

"I have no idea what those shirts you're talking are, but if they..." An error in her comment came to mind. "Shit. I meant Mickey Rourke. It's not like you were spewing rants about petty nonsensical irritants when I pulled your ass out of the fire." Bliss kept a stern command over Nori with her hand. This kid kept some talent to himself, and Bliss fancied not letting him use it to his advantage. "You thinking that I came close to killing myself just shows that you don't really know just how good I am at what I do. You're alive right. You know what you call almost dying? Not dying. I'm so sorry that I not-died you. If you hang around me too much you might not-die some more. You don't know what it is like being gifted with the power of making people not-die."
The light broke on the trio's faces. "Jesus guy, whats with the GIMPS?" Her grip tightened on the back of Nori's neck. Bliss froze up, but not in the way that would benefit them. Well according to what Clayton told her minutes ago perhaps it would benefit him to not have Bliss flinging ice around the place. "I think I can safely bring that Mickey Rooney comment back for him."

A few of the same thoughts occupied both Clayton and Nori's minds, but for different reasons. They were both were curious as to why Washington was there. Nori thought it meant that his mentor thought he was incompetent and felt the need to clean up after him. Clayton thought it meant his father had gotten himself into some kind of mess and planned on using him to get himself out of it, most likely throwing Clayton under the bus while he was at it. They were both correct. They also both wondered if Bliss ever shut up.
Clayton turned his head to the girl, "Shut up for a second." He turned back to his father, "Wash! What are you doing and why are you dragging me into it? Maybe I didn't make it clear enough last time I told you to fuck off." in an instant Clayton had his pistol drawn and aimed at Washington, "Give me one reason not to." the men accompanying wash raised their guns and waited for the order to fire.
"You mean aside from these four here?" Wash raised an eyebrow, and motioned with his hand to the gimps with guns, "The first time you meet face to face with dear old dad in who knows how long, and you pull a gun on him? Thought I raised you with better manners than that. The damn cowgirl they said you were pallin around with must have been a bad influence. Them Filipinos never did anyone any good, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe that smug slut there is the bad influence." A grin spread across his face.
Clayton kept his gun trained on his dad without a word.
"Oh for fuck's sake! All of you put your damn guns down, would ya? You want a reason, Clay? How's this for a reason. Don't shoot now, I'm just gonna open my jacket here and show you. I'm not exactly armed." The men obeyed the order. Wash slowly moved the hand that was not on his cane to his jacket and pulled back. He was wearing a bomb. "My heart stops, and it blows. It's crazy, I know, but the damn Japs won't let me take a walk without it. You pull that trigger and we'll all be continuing this conversation in hell."
Clayton lowered his gun. "Well, what do you want with me, then?"
"I'm old, Clay. I need a replacement. That's all it is. Now come on peacefully and we won't have to gun down Miss Fokukama here." the grin never left his face.
by Bliss on December 11th 2011, 5:44 pm
"Don't tell me to shut up." Bliss never liked the others telling her what to and not to say, but after she gave that response she promptly shut up. This situation looked to grow worse with every exchange that Clayton and Washington gave each other. Her face looked on with displeasure at the racism that the entitled man spewed down on what he considered lesser people. Refusing to take the orders that Clayton gave her, Bliss began to find the words to speak her mind. Washington took those words from her when he called her a smug slut. To her dismay no one spoke up on her behalf.
Taking her head out of the seriousness of the situation and to the pettiness that normally decided her decisions, Bliss began freezing the soles of Clayton's feet to the ground. The particles rose up with some subtlety to secure his feet. Before she could finish capping off her work the old man exposed them all to a terrible secret. How powerful could this guy be if people strapped bombs to him? For some reason in all of these odd situations of rescuing people Bliss always maintained first hand experience of what having a bomb strapped to your chest felt like.
She wanted to crest flowers over his frozen feet until she heard the man say her name. "How do you know my name? I don't have my real name on any files?" A few years ago Bliss set cyber fire to all files that gave her any traces of documentation. The mention of her name struck her far more than what should rally her attention. "I got a plan." Bliss launched a bolt of ice into the ice around Nori to project him forwards. Once he pushed forward Bliss threw up a shield of ice to guard her and Clayton.
It took longer than it should for Bliss to wonder if she should free Clayton or not. If she left him Washington would take him and she could go free. If she took him with her then at some point Washington would capture her as bait or something else, because that's how it always panned out for her. "If I break you out you gotta make sure your dad's goons don't get me, alright." Bliss couldn't thaw the ice, but she could break it. She projected more ice into the foot sculptures, causing the flowers to shatter leaving a gap that Clayton could pull his feet out of.
by Super Cutie on December 12th 2011, 12:36 am
"No files? Me neither. Got a thing for faces though." Washington shrugged. He meant to continue blathering, but Bliss had a plan. A plan that caused a scrawny popsicle of a kid to fly briefly before it slid the rest of the way towards him. Washington calmly glanced down at the boy on the floor and then back up at the newly formed ice wall where his son and the Fokukama girl once stood. "Looks like we can do it their way then. My boy will get his three days. Better grab the other kid just in case. He should be landing soon." He looked down at Nori again, "Well stand up, queenie. We got ourselves some more work to do." Washington figured his bosses could only keep the police out of the area for so long and that it would be best to get a move on.
Behind the ice wall Clayton glanced down at his shoes. Bliss was able to keep him trapped without him even noticing. The flowers were the insult on top of the potential injury. Why would she do that? She asked him to make a promise in exchange for his freedom. He wanted to tell her it was a promise he was not sure he could keep, but he wanted to get out of there more. "You've got my word, Princess." For whatever it was worth. "Why do you keep trapping me like that? Are you trying to kill me or just keep me still long enough to kiss me?" he stepped out of the ice and felt the glass wall. "Doesn't feel bulletproof. You might wanna cover your ears and step back for a second." Clayton took a step back and shot the glass wall three times which was enough to shatter the bulk of it. The glass fell down in large pieces. "Guess it wasn't." He looked over the edge. It was a long way down. "Ready?"

"Oh my God, just make a Han Solo reference why don't you. I had a change of heart about leaving you behind to get beat up by four guys and..." Bliss found herself interrupted by a bullet flying past her head as Clayton asked a question that did not need an answer. "No, it's not bullet proof. I'll work on that." Bliss dropped her bag to the ground and rummaged through make up compacts, her cell phone, and the computer that she really needed to use to pull out a pistol. "I could always try to strengthen the density of the wall." Chips of ice bounced off of the side of the wall. "Or you could just keep shooting at it. That's working for us." Bliss began retreating back into the hallway. She really did not know where to head from here. "Any ideas? Good or bad they I'm up for anything." Knowing that the guy with her looked like a text book creeper, she identified creepers as people with "Y" chromosomes, she decided to clarify. "I'm good for anything that involves escaping this thing, but how does you dumb, gay dad know my name?"

"She doesn't like Han Solo. That's a problem." Clayton muttered to himself while Bliss dug through her bag. "Oh get over yourself, Misses Blisses. I know what you meant. Though I don't know where you're going. We have an exit right here." Clayton assumed that the men not shooting at the ice meant that they would not be there to shoot at them on their way down. He assumed that they were looking for another way around it to get to them or sending others their direction to cut off any escape routes. He needed to stop assuming things. There were no other men, and those behind the wall were on their way back to where they came from. "There might be more of them anywhere around here. Making a slide or something out of ice is probably our safest bet. Anyway, I don't know how my old man knows your name, but I know him well enough to tell you that its not a good thing."
"Never call me misses Blisses again. That is the dumbest thing I've heard anyone ever mutter. And yes, Han Solo represents a class of phony bravery that is hidden behind quips and a smile. So in short Han Solo is, one, a wuss, and two, a bitch. Now, can we get going or do we need to do some other soul searching?" While Bliss continued her finger counting rant, her ice splintered through the ground barricading the way they came in. This time the amount of ice held firm in layer after layer of ice to hold the line.
Clayton started on about his father and their estranged relationship. "I was here getting an inheritance. You know what I got? I got a letter about how much of a disappointment I am, while my grandmother, whom I know nothing about, got a ten million dollar payday. Why am I telling you this?" Ice continued to flow through the halls with a small opening that made an ice tunnel that continued down the corridors. Tiles cracked and broke as the ice crept deep into the foundation and made openings for the two. "Because I stole it. I stole it with a great plan to hide it, but someone turned off the power. and the money got stuck in my best friend's bank account, my best friend who kicked me out of her apartment. So am I going to get over myself." Bliss air quoted 'get over myself.' "No, I think I'll stay situated in what drives me. Now to quote something you might understand, into the chute flyboy." Over the course of her long winded diatribe, Bliss dug a tunnel of ice that extended far down below the basement levels. She planned on trying to aim it to get to a subway tunnel to break into their. Bliss waited for Clayton to go through so that she could close the hole behind them so no one could follow them.
Clayton felt like Bliss's delusional problems with the greatest fictional character of all time were actually problems she perceived in him. He scoffed. What did he care what she thought of him? He knew she was wrong about him, and about Han.
Then came the water works. It looked like Bliss did not take kindly to being told to get over herself. From the sound of things she had definitely had better days. "I came here to steal some things too, at least I was under the impression that was what I was here for. Turned out to be this dumb gay trap I still don't understand." Clayton shrugged before he holstered his pistol again, "If it's any consolation, at least none of your estranged relatives showed up with delusions of grandeur, armed guards, and a bomb strapped to their chest?" He really did not know what to tell the girl. For all the fake conversation he was able to make with strangers, when it came to actual talk, Clayton had difficulty finding the right words. "We'll get this all cleared up; even the best friend situation. If we live, I mean. Yeah." That sounded right, right? Right enough. "See you at the bottom, your worishpfulness." He lowered himself right into the icy rabbit hole.
The ice was as slick as it could be. Clayton landed too hard and too quickly on the hard ground. The wind escaped from his lungs almost as quickly as he escaped from the building. A dull pain flooded itself though his body. His vision straightened and he realized he was in the middle of a subway tunnel. Assuming they didn't get hit by a train, or touch the electrified rail, all the princess and the scoundrel had to do was find a platform and they were home free. He stood and attempted to dust himself off. His clothing was not meant for this kind of activity.
Knowing what would happen if she carelessly slid down the ramp Bliss made a staggered staircase that she descended down into the subway. Now all she needed to do was figure out how to get rid of all of this ice. Then her incentive sounded in the dark. The coldness of the ice wall greeted her hand as Bliss tried to usher some control over the ice. Nothing came to her. Not only did she need to get her and Clay out of danger she also needed to save the train from colliding with her ice vortex. She placed her hands on the bottom and began to force ice to break the structure of the ice pillar. Cracks etched through the wall. Shards collapsed and fell to the ground around the two.
The lack of breakage among the total pillar would not allow the entire structure to collapse in front of the train without bringing down the ceiling on everyone. Every time a piece of ice fell cracks shot out from their entrance hole and shook a piece of concrete loose. Lights flashed onto the side of the wall, announcing the arriving train from around the winding tunnel. Enough of the ice came loose to allow Bliss and Clayton to escape, but Bliss needed to stay back to keep the tunnel from collapsing. "Get out!" Bliss shouted as she held her hands up to create pillars to strengthen the durability of the tunnel. She wasted time with that effort as a small piece of debris hit her head. Bliss moved back and turned her attention to sealing up the cracks in the tunnel. "I did this and I have to fix it. Now get out before you die too!" Resolve ushered over her while ice crept along the walls to fill in the tunnel.
A small maintenance shaft lie only twenty feet down the tunnel. Any further access would require opening a sealed door, but the doorway would give five feet or protection from the velocity of the train.
"And they say I'm dramatic." Clayton shook his head and took steps towards Bliss, "Neither one of us is going to die here. There's a maintenance shaft right up there." It was true that the train posed an immediate threat to them and the collapsing tunnel posed an immediate threat to both them and the train. The lives of a train full of people would be worth the sacrifice, but Clayton could be selfish and stupid if he needed to be, and he was willing to be just that to prevent having another Ileana on his hands. He grabbed Bliss by the arm, "Come on, Princess, before we're splattered across the tracks. You didn't need to touch my shoes to freeze them. You can fix the tunnel from over there. I'm not just going to leave you here." Clayton began to pull her towards the shaft. His heart raced. Why did she have to be so stubborn?
Angered by the audacity of a man pulling her from her action and giving her a better line of action drove Bliss to continue on with her reckless plan. Ice continued seeping from the cracks in the walls; the time it would take her to get into the shaft the tunnel would collapse on the train killing the occupants. Lights passed along the turn and came to shine down on Bliss's face. Force shot from her hand to knock Clayton back with a burst of ice to his chest.
With everyone other than Bliss accounted for in safety Bliss lunged herself to the side of the wall. Wrapping her arms as close as she could get them to the wall ice began to encase her to the side of the wall of ice that she surrounded the tunnel with. She forced herself deeper into the wall to keep herself safe from the passing force of the train. Ice flew off as the train whirled by with blinding speed. Water ran down the side of the walls as the heat generated from the speed of the train melted away at the barrier around her.
The five passenger compartments pulled away from the iced over tunnel partaking of the wonderful and artistic calligraphy that Bliss imbued in her work. Flower arrangements littered the sides of the tunnel with small caricatures of birds and fish dotting the quickly melting walls. Bliss remained inside of the wall slowly sticking her hand out for someone to help pull her out of the ice and back down to the ground, so that she could continue the previous argument that needed some finishing.
"Oh wow George Lucas watched Hidden Fortress at some point in his life and then added spaceship; what a marvel to pop culture."

The sudden burst of cold into his midsection took Clayton by surprise and sent him backwards a short distance. The impact caused him to fall backwards into a roll as certain death rapidly approached. His roll brought him to the five feet of safety that the maintenance entrance provided. He stayed low to the ground, shut his eyes, and covered his head with his hands for the short duration of the train's passing.
When it was over Clayton sighed in relief; the deep kind of relief that only comes from surviving a brush with death. He sat himself up against the wall and checked his inside pocket for his cigarettes that he hoped were not completely crushed by the day's events. It was just his luck that out of all of his cigarettes, two remained intact. He cursed soft packs before placing one of the two cigarettes between his lips and gazed at the mess of ice before him. Where was Bliss? Another brief shock ran through Clayton's system. This shock was quickly dissipated as a hand revealed itself from a mound of ice against the wall. It was all he could see of her from the angle he was at, and it was enough to know she was alive. There was another sigh of relief.
After helping Bliss out of her ice barricade, she continued on with her Star Wars hatred as if nothing ever happened. A smile spread across Clayton's face and he shook his head, "I wouldn't expect someone like you to get it." He offered her the other intact cigarette from his smashed pack. "Anyway, we should probably get out of here, Princess."
by Bliss on December 22nd 2011, 8:08 am
Bliss took the cigarette within her index and middle finger and accepted the light. A few months ago Pain offered her the same gift for her conversation with him; this felt more deserved as ice dripped down from the ceiling. A long drag on the cigarette moved the composure of the tobacco into place and brought the flow of the smoke into her worthless lungs. Even without the necessity of breathing she could still summon up the flow of air to bring outside sources down into the depths of her lungs. "We should try to find a way out of this place. I'm sure no more trains will be coming for about fifteen minutes, so we should get to moving."
Her feet trudged through the ice tunnel with some support from ice along the soles of her feet to keep traction. Bliss learned that the stickiness of ice could make it so that she could take an unfair advantage over any adversary that tried to face her on her ice. Well this guy already told her not to freeze his shoes, so Bliss would just try to seem unnaturally graceful as she strode across the ice with Clayton in tow.
In between drags the cigarette fell just below the hem line of her skirt, hovering a few centimeters away from the leggings. She stayed just behind Clayton as the two made their way to try to find a maintenance access to take them back to the surface.

Neal Jimenez, 'River's Edge' Screenwriter, Dead at 62
Jimenez won Independent Spirit Awards for writing the 1986 cult classic starring Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves and the 1992 indie "The Waterdance."

Neal Jimenez, the American independent filmmaker who won an Independent Spirit Award for writing the 1986 cult classic "River's Edge," died on December 11, IndieWire has learned. He was 62 years old.
Jimenez also wrote and co-directed, with Michael Steinberg, the 1992 indie "The Waterdance," which won Best First Feature and Best Screenplay at the 1993 Spirit Awards. The cause of death was heart failure, said his sister, Kathleen Serio. He lived on a six-acre Arroyo Grande ranch in Central Coast, Calif., where he spent the last decade of his life with family and friends while dealing with paraplegia.
Jimenez also had writing credits on "Where the River Runs Black" (1986), "For the Boys" (1991), "The Dark Wind" (1991), "Sleep with Me" (1994), and "Hideaway" (1995). Early in his career, Jimenez was revered as a script doctor, commanding fees of $100,000 per day on films including 1995's "Outbreak." Throughout his career, he was also commissioned to write scripts for Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Wolfgang Peterson, Atom Egoyan, Robert Redford, Madonna, Tom Hanks, and more.

"His writing voice is seductive, powerful, and wholly unique," "The Waterdance" director Michael Steinberg said in a statement. "Like a complex minor chord with a range that could move in any direction. Dark, hilarious, romantic, political, gritty, fantastical, poetic. In the 40 years since meeting Neal, I've worked with dozens of big names and huge talents. But only a handful of true, genius-level artists. Jimenez, like Tarantino, and the Farrelly Brothers, had a voice strong enough to bend cinema."

Born in Sacramento, Jimenez started out writing plays and making Super 8 films at a young age before contributing to publications including LA Weekly and California Magazine. While at UCLA Film School, he wrote "River's Edge" at 21, the film that put him on the map. Starring Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, and Dennis Hopper, the coming-of-age thriller is now regarded as a cult classic of the 1980s.
"My brother had a passion for writing and creating," his sister Elizabeth Rathjen said in a statement shared with IndieWire. "The clack of typing seemed to daily come through his bedroom walls. He had drawers full of typed pages and journals filled with his words and ink doodles. He wrote then because he had to, he needed to and he wanted to. I always imagined walking into a bookstore and seeing books authored by my brother. Instead it was a video store and movies. As far back as I can remember, my brother would make short movies on Super 8 with his friends. He spent hours cutting and splicing film together. He seemed to know how he wanted the film to look. Neal had an easy intelligence and a great wit. He enjoyed movies, books and music and wanted others to enjoy those things too."

When it's time to actually incorporate your company, you really don't want to waste time. The truth is that if you really want to get the most favorable terms from the IRS, you will need to incorporate as soon as possible. Of course, you can actually incorporate later but you might end up running out of time to really get things done. Then you're stuck paying a lot more to the IRS and even filing multiple tax returns. If you incorporate later in the tax year, you will need to file a return for the sole proprietorship and also for the company that you held. It can really add a lot of time to your tax preparation, but it's very important to get this right. If you don't claim all of the income, the IRS can get you later on for documentation. If you haven't saved the documentation, then you can end up not only paying back taxes, but fees and penalties. This is just not what you really want to deal with. Getting subject to backup withholding is very costly, but other businesses definitely engage in the practice quite often.
The best thing that you can do is to make sure that you get a lawyer. Now, in today's DIY culture getting a lawyer to incorporate your business is something that's considered old and outdated. You can always download the forms to file with your state's Secretary of State, and you can even download the IRS tax form to become a closely held S corporation. It's just a matter of knuckling down and getting started, which means that you will need to decide first on the lawyer.
Something as critical as incorporation should be handled by a lawyer. They will have the expertise to not only incorporate your company, but make sure that you avoid mistakes that could make it harder for you to sell the company to someone else, or to have someone come in and invest in your business. If you're determined to DIY, then you have to also accept some of the consequences that could come from filing the paperwork wrong.
If you have decided to actually go with getting help with your business incorporation, then you need to figure out how to get a lawyer on your side.
Going online is one of the best ways to look for lawyers that handle incorporation matters in your state. This is an important distinction because lawyers don't really have a "global" status yet. If you need something handled in your state, you need to find an attorney that is licensed in your state. If you're in Texas, you need to get a Texas lawyer to handle your business. If you're in Florida, then a Florida business lawyer is really what you're looking for. Why would you want to have an out of state lawyer handle your case and mess things up further?
If you want to incorporate in a tax shelter state like Wyoming, Delaware or Nevada, then you still need to find a lawyer in that state. However, you might also want to get a lawyer in your state as well so they can handle any foreign corporation matters that come up. Since you will have a bank account that needs to get opened as well, it's important to think about all of the little details.
Send an email to the law firm that you find that handles business incorporations in your state. It's good to have a set plan of action that you want implemented. For example, it's not just enough to say that you want to incorporate your business. Do you know what type of business structure that you want to set up? Of course, if you don't know this information then you should definitely say so in order to give the lawyer an idea of where to actually begin.
Overall, it's a good idea to have a lawyer incorporate your business. This gives you legal protection from liability, as long as your business is actually run as a business. The IRS likes to also see you incorporate your business, as it's a sign that you're really trying to run a business and not just a hobby. They are taxed quite differently, and running a business has lots of tax benefits. Protect your tax benefits and your assets by incorporating a business today!

In City and County of San Francisco v. Brown, 153 Cal. 644, 649 [ 96 P. 281], the court ordered judgment of nonsuit in favor of defendants and against plaintiff.
Summary of this case from Davis v. Rudolph
S.F. No. 4594.
APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. J.C.B. Hebbard, Judge.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
Robert Ash, for Appellants.
Wm. G. Burke, City Attorney, for Respondent.
LORIGAN, J.
This is an appeal from an order setting aside and vacating a final judgment. The action was commenced in the district court of the fourth judicial district on the seventeenth day of April, 1868, and was in ejectment, to recover possession of certain premises in the city and county of San Francisco, of which plaintiff alleged it was the owner and entitled to the possession, and had been dispossessed by the defendants, and which property, the record on this appeal shows, was claimed to be a portion of Oregon Street. In due time Charles P. Brown and Andrew V. Smith, impleaded with the other defendants under fictitious names, filed their answers, in which they denied the allegations of the complaint, and set up as separate defenses the statute of limitations and adverse possession for the requisite statutory period. The cause came on regularly for trial without a jury on the sixteenth day of November, 1870, and plaintiff resting after having introduced certain evidence, the defendants moved for a judgment of nonsuit. The minute orders of the court with reference to the motion and disposition of it were, that certain named "witnesses for plaintiff were sworn and examined, and plaintiff having rested his case, defendants moved for a judgment of nonsuit, which motion was taken under advisement by the court." This is from the minutes of the trial of November 16, 1870. On November 19, 1870, the following minute order was made by the court: "The motion on behalf of defendants for a judgment of nonsuit herein having been fully considered by the court, it is ordered that the said motion be and the same is hereby granted, and that a judgment of nonsuit be entered therein in favor of said defendants and against the plaintiff."
No further proceedings seem to have been taken in the case until the thirty-first day of March, 1905, when Robert Ash, Esq., attorney of record for appellant herein, without any stipulation or order of substitution as attorney for said defendant Brown, wrote in the request book kept in the county clerk's office the following: "Enter judgment as per memorandum filed. Robert Ash, Attorney." Thereafter, On April 4, 1905, the clerk, without any order or direction of the superior court, entered judgment in the cause pursuant to the directions of said attorney who had requested it.
The judgment recited that the cause having come on regularly to be heard on the nineteenth day of November, 1870, "the parties thereupon introduced oral and documentary evidence, and there was thereupon put in issue between the respective plaintiff and said defendant C.P. Brown the title and possession of said parties respectively in and to" the land described in the complaint. It further recites that "after said evidence had been closed, defendants moved for a nonsuit on the ground that plaintiff had no title to said lot of land, which the court had granted, and rendered judgment in favor of said defendants and against said plaintiff for the possession of the . . . described premises." The judgment then "ordered, adjudged and decreed that the defendant C.P. Brown is the owner and entitled to the possession of said lot of land described and entitled to recover his costs herein."
On November 17, 1905, the said attorney of plaintiff, pursuant to notice regularly served on said Robert Ash, as attorney for defendants, moved in the superior court of the city and county of San Francisco, where such judgment had been entered, for an order vacating the judgment as entered in said action of April 4, 1905, and for a further order directing that judgment be entered in conformity with the decree of the district court rendered in said action November 19, 1870, on the ground that the judgment as entered on April 4, 1905, did not conform to the decision of the court rendered on November 19, 1870. After hearing the court made the order as prayed for to the extent of vacating the judgment of April 4, 1905.
The only question involved on this appeal is as to the jurisdiction of the superior court to make the order vacating the judgment.
It is insisted by appellant against such jurisdiction, 1. That the court had no power after the expiration of six months from the entry of the judgment, April 4, 1905, to vacate it on motion; and, 2. That if there was error in the judgment as entered it was judicial error and not clerical error or misprision, and, hence, could not be corrected by motion to vacate the judgment, but only on motion for a new trial or on appeal.
Both propositions of appellant in so far as they embrace rules of law are correct, but we are satisfied that neither of them has application in the matter under consideration.
The rule that a motion to vacate a judgment cannot be made after six months from its entry has application only where the judgment which it is sought to vacate is the judgment which was actually rendered by the court. But here it is apparent that the judgment which was entered was not the judgment rendered by the court. The judgment as rendered was one of nonsuit only, the effect of which was simply to declare that the plaintiff had failed to make proof of material allegations necessary to sustain his cause of action. It decided nothing on the merits of the controversy, and necessarily could not, as its effect was to virtually put the plaintiff out of court. It operated simply as a dismissal of the case. (Wood v. Ramond, 42 Cal. 643.)
And a nonsuit suffered for any cause is not a bar to a suit subsequently brought on the same cause of action. (Merritt v. Campbell, 47 Cal. 543.)
This being the law, a nonsuit granted in an action of ejectment determines nothing save that the plaintiff has not proven his case as alleged. The plaintiff in such an action must recover on the strength of his own title, and failing in proof of his title is subject to be nonsuited, but the presence or absence of title in the defendants does not enter at all in the determination as to whether such nonsuit should be granted, and is, of course, not considered or determined in the matter of the nonsuit. The defendant in an ejectment suit may have no title whatever or right to possession of the property, but this is entirely immaterial if the plaintiff proves no title or right of possession. He can only prevail by showing it in himself, and it is immaterial for all purposes if he fails in this respect whether defendant has title or not.
Now, applying these principles to the matter under consideration. It may be that in fact the city of San Francisco had a perfect legal title and right to the possession of the premises in controversy, but may have failed on the trial in making the necessary proof in that respect. The nonsuit did not determine that it had no such title or right, but only that if it had it had not proven it, and went out of court for that reason. This was, however, by no means an adjudication that the title to the premises was in Brown, for a judgment of nonsuit could be entirely proper and Brown have no shadow or pretense of title. If it could be held that the nonsuit was determinative of title in Brown, then it would be necessarily res adjudicata on the subject of title, and would be a bar to the maintenance by plaintiff of another action of ejectment for the recovery of the property. This, however, could not be, because it is fundamental that the doctrine of res adjudicata has no application to judgments of nonsuit. (Merritt v. Campbell, 47 Cal. 543.) Or, again, as far as the necessity of proof of title on the part of plaintiff is concerned, it might have been that the nonsuit was properly granted because the title appeared from the proofs of plaintiff to be in a stranger to the action, or in one of the other defendants who had appeared in the case, either Eliza Brown or A.V. Smith.
It is thus apparent that the judgment of nonsuit in an action of ejectment determines nothing except that the plaintiff has not proven his right to recover as alleged, and his action is dismissed and he is sent out of court for such failure. It determines nothing whatever as to title, nor is it conclusive in any respect upon that question.
This being the effect of the order for a nonsuit by the district court on November 19, 1870, the judgment entered thereon by the clerk at the direction of Attorney Ash on April 4, 1905, adjudicating that the appellant Brown was the owner and entitled to the possession of the premises described in the complaint was essentially a different and distinct judgment from that which was rendered by the district court, and was entered unauthorized.
Concluding, then, that the judgment entered was different from that which was rendered, brings us to a consideration of the second contention of appellant, — namely, that if there was any error in entering the judgment it was not a clerical error or misprision, but a judicial error which was subject to correction on motion for a new trial, or on appeal, only.
We cannot perceive how any claim that the entry of the judgment was judicial is maintainable. There was no error in the judgment as rendered. The error was in entering a different judgment from that which the court had ordered. The entry of the judgment was a matter with which the court had nothing to do. It was a ministerial act to be performed by the clerk, and his duty was to enter only such judgment as the court had rendered.
Counsel for appellant cites several cases which he claims support his contention that the entry was judicial error. The only ones which have any relevancy to the point are Egan v. Egan, 90 Cal. 21, [27 P. 22]; First Nat. Bank of Fresno v. Dusy, 110 Cal. 69, [42 P. 476]; and Byrne v. Hoag, 116 Cal. 1, [47 P. 775]. An examination of these cases shows that they are not authority for the proposition he advances, but inferentially are authorities against him. In all those cases the judgments were entered exactly as the court had ordered them, and the language used in Byrne v. Hoag, 116 Cal. 1, [47 P. 775], "the judgment was entered by the clerk exactly as the court ordered it to be entered in the surest way in which the judge could express his intention" is applicable to them all. Certainly such authorities can have no bearing where it is clear that the clerk entered a judgment entirely different from what the court had rendered.
This is what the clerk did here, and it is clear from the authorities that in entering judgment the clerk acts in a purely ministerial capacity and that no judicial function is exercised. On this point it is said in Kelly v. Van Austin, 17 Cal. 565: "The clerk in entering judgments upon default acts in a mere ministerial capacity. He exercises no judicial functions. The statute authorizes the judgment, and the clerk is only an agent by whom it is written out and placed among the records of the court. He must, therefore, conform strictly to the provisions of the statute, or his proceedings will be without any binding force." In Crim v. Kessing, 89 Cal. 488, [23 Am. St. Rep. 491, 26 P. 1074], it was held: "The entry of a judgment after it has been rendered by the court is but the ministerial act of the clerk. The judgment, when entered, becomes the record of what the court has determined, and then becomes as binding upon the parties as if entered immediately upon its rendition. `The rendition of a judgment is a judicial act; its entry upon the record is merely ministerial.' (Freeman on Judgments, sec. 38.)"
As the court has nothing to do with the entry of a judgment, that being a duty devolving solely on the clerk of the court, it follows under the authorities cited that the act of the clerk in the matter at bar in entering a judgment at the request of the attorney different from that which had been rendered by the court was not a judicial error, but strictly a clerical one.
This being true, the rule is unquestioned that a court of record has the inherent right and power at any time to correct or amend its judgment which has been entered as the result of clerical error or misprision in order to make it conform to the judgment which was actually rendered by the court, and so as to speak the truth in that respect.
"`A judgment is the decision or sentence of the law, given by a court or competent tribunal, as the result of proceedings instituted therein for the redress of an injury.' To be valid, it must be given by a competent judge or court, at a time and place appointed by law, and in the form it requires, and is usually entered up by the clerk, under the supervision of the court. Our statute, like that of many states, has introduced a new rule, adapted to the convenience of the public, and pronounces a judgment of law upon a certain state of facts, which, when duly authenticated, authorizes the clerk to enter judgment thereon. If a judgment is pronounced by a court having jurisdiction, no matter how irregular it may be, it must stand until set aside or reversed on appeal; but when entered by a mere ministerial officer, without authority of law, it is wholly void. (Stearns v. Aguirre, 7 Cal. 449.)
"Clerical errors and misprisions may occur in respect of entries of judgments, which it is competent for the court to order amended or supplied; and this may be done even though the term when the error or mistake happened may have passed, provided the party moving proceeds with due diligence." (Hageler v. Henckell, 27 Cal. 491.)
"It is well settled that clerical errors in a judgment, where they show by the record, may be corrected at any time so as to make the judgment entry correspond with the judgment rendered. (Swain v. Naglee, 19 Cal. 127; Freeman on Judgments, secs. 70, 71.) And this may be done even after an appeal and affirmance of the judgment. (Rousset v. Boyle, 45 Cal. 64.)" (Dreyfuss v. Tompkins, 67 Cal. 340, [7 P. 732].)
"Courts have the power at all times to allow amendments to judgments for the purpose of having the judgment as entered express that which was rendered, so that the record, shall contain the actual decision of the court; and such amendment can be made after the expiration of six months from the entry of the judgment. Where the clerk fails to enter judgment as it was pronounced, the court has always the power to correct the matter and order the proper entry to be made." (Egan v. Egan, 90 Cal. 15, [27 P. 22].)
"Every court of record has the inherent right and power to cause its acts and proceedings to be correctly set forth in its records. The clerk is but an instrument and assistant of the court, whose duty it is to make a correct memorial of its orders and directions; and, whenever it is properly brought to the knowledge of the court that the record made by the clerk does not correctly show the order or direction which was in fact made by the court at the time it was given, the authority of the court to cause its records to be corrected in accordance with the facts is undoubted. (Matter of Wright, 134 U.S. 136, [10 Sup. Ct. 487]; Balch v. Shaw, 7 Cush. 282; Fay v. Wenzell, 8 Cush. 315; Frink v. Frink, 43 N.H. 508, [80 Am. Dec. 189, 82 Am. Dec. 172]; Crim v. Kessing, 89 Cal. 486, [23 Am. St. Rep. 491, 26 P. 1074].)" Kaufman v. Shain, 111 Cal. 19, [52 Am. St. Rep. 139, 43 P. 393].)
"A court may at any time amend a judgment where the record discloses that the entry on the minutes does not correctly give what was the judgment of the court. (Morrison v. Dapman, 3 Cal. 255. )" (Scamman v. Bonslett, 118 Cal. 97, [62 Am. St. Rep. 226, 50 P. 272].)
These are quotations from but a few of a long line of authorities in this state uniformly sustaining the doctrine which these quotations announce, and under them it is quite evident that the judgment entered by the clerk on April 4, 1905, was not the judgment rendered by the court on November 19, 1870. It was clerical error on the part of the clerk to so enter a different judgment, and the court was authorized and had jurisdiction on motion of plaintiff to set it aside in order that a judgment conformable to that which was in fact ordered might be actually entered.
The order appealed from is affirmed.
Henshaw, J., and McFarland, J., concurred.
In City and County of San Francisco v. Brown, 153 Cal. 644 [ 96 P. 281], the Supreme Court declared as follows: "The judgment as rendered was one of non-suit only, the effect of which was simply to declare that the plaintiff had failed to make proof of material allegations necessary to sustain his cause of action.
Summary of this case from Phelps v. Loop


The Government of Canada passed legislation legalizing, regulating, and restricting access to cannabis on October 17, 2018.
Westwind School Division prohibits the possession and/or consumption of cannabis products of any kind or the possession of paraphernalia associated with the consumption of cannabis by any person on Division properties and at any Division activities or events. This provision supersedes any municipal bylaw, provincial or other law that may allow for the legal possession or consumption of cannabis in a particular venue or by persons over 18 years of age. Additionally, all Westwind School Division schools and properties remain smoke-free environments. This includes smoking, vaping, and other forms of inhalants.
The safety and wellness of your child is our top priority and we recognize the need to work together with parents to ensure that our children are protected.
With the legalization of cannabis, Westwind School Division, in collaboration with Alberta Health Services, is providing our children, youth and families with required supports and education to keep our kids safe. The current Kindergarten to Grade 9 (K-9) Health and Life Skills program of studies and high school Career and Life Management (CALM) program of studies enable students to make well-informed, healthy choices and to develop behaviours that contribute to the well-being of self and others. However, with the legalization of cannabis, it is important that we work together to prevent and/or delay the initiation of cannabis use by youth and to promote healthy decision making.
Youth are especially vulnerable to the effects of cannabis because brain development is still occurring until about age 25. Cannabis use can lead to problems that impact memory, learning, attention, judgement and decision making. Proper education about cannabis and substance abuse, and equipping your child with the skills and competencies to make responsible decisions is a crucial preventative measure.
We, together, are uniquely positioned to equip students and your child with credible, accurate information about cannabis.
Wondering about how to start the Cannabis Talk with your kids?
Talking to teens about cannabis can be tricky.
It can be challenging to know how they'll react or what kind of questions they might have – especially now that cannabis is legal.
But talking about cannabis is an important part of attempting to delay its use as long as possible, in order to avoid the harmful effects it can have on developing brains.
When it comes to the cannabis talk, it's best to be prepared.

I have been giving much thought to the Questions that Jesus Asked us, There is so much to learn from them concerning Jesus, myself and all other people. Taking them one at a time and seriously thinking about them and how they apply to my life as a True Believer of our Lord Jesus is opening up a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and understanding for me.
I have also begun to search out in the Red Letters and write down the Things Jesus Told people to do. Holding on to the Power of His Words spoken in complete radical faith that God the Father would do through Him.
I hear often in my mind, Mary, mother of Jesus telling the servants at the wedding in Cana, To Do what Ever He tells you to do! This type of Radical faith in Him is not to be ignored nor should we think it does Not exist for us Today! I KNOW it does, as I truly have a deep radical Faith and trust in our Lord Jesus, I KNOW God Will Do what He has Promised to Us! Amen!
In studying His Questions asked ,(please scroll down to next blog post), And the Things He told others To Do, we are learning about What WE NEED To Do for Him, instead of always focusing on what we need Him to do for us. We are learning How God wants us to be Balanced in our Spiritual life and Relationship for Him. He Is Still Teaching all those that Are Teachable And Willing! Yes Lord--Here I Am--Use me, Teach me, Help me, change me, guide me, Fill me with more of You!
Here we have Jesus and the disciples and over 4000 people in need of food and they were so far away from where that much food could be acquired--what to do?
Just imagine if you can, Jesus turning around to you and asking you and the others how much you got on you? We can use that!
So many times we are like the disciples, looking only at what we have and what we don't have, and then looking at the problem like it's bigger than our Father's love for us. God has already Made us a Promise that overrides Each and Every Problem that we will encounter in our daily lives. Have you read the Red Letters? Have you search out the Promises of God so that You know them and therefore are able to connect to their Power?
Now look at this as it concerns your life right now. How many times have you looked into your wallet, into your heart, at your physical abilities, to see what you do not have? Then looked at the Thing that you need to do and you sigh because there is No way you Will Be Able To take care of that issue, problem or change the situation by yourself?
How many times have you thought about the blessings you let slip away, the blessings you allowed to be stolen, the blessings that you perverted by trying to manipulate them into something other than what God sent them for?
How many times have you allowed the enemy to taunt you with your broken, sinful past and made you feel useless and worthless?
How many times have you looked back on and valued yourself by your mistakes, your wrong deeds done to others, the wasted years you lived at the wrong job, wasted time in a relationship with the wrong person, and the times you were out living by this worlds standards doing Only what the Lord knows about?
How many times have you spent counting what you have wasted in your life up until today?
Well, Let me tell you Some Truth And Wisdom that Will Help you Right now!
Do What Jesus said To Do! Gather Up All the pieces of your life, All that you believe to be wasted and put them in a hand basket and Take them to HIM! You Will find such an abundance -- More than what You started with after you hand all those broken pieces over to Him and He Will show you that you Almost wasted the things that could teach you so much!
Hear this Truth and never forget it my dear friends, With God Nothing Is Ever Going To Be wasted, If you hand it All over to Him! Another slice of Wisdom to be learned from this lesson is, From Now On, In The Beginning of Every thing, Include God First!
Before you begin any work, project, before you spend any $, before you say one word, before you do Anything, Go To God our Father in the Name of Jesus, And ask His Holy Spirit to tell you, What does God want you to do concerning this Work you have to do. Ask Him what has He Already Planned for this work, how to start it, what to do in the middle, how It should end=Get the Details From our Father!
Then Begin by Doing What Ever He Tells You To Do! God Takes All our experiences, good and bad And adds in His Love to sift every single piece, Turning it All into Good, and Restoring back to you all you thought you wasted and lost!
Why, does He do this? Because He Loves us, He made promises to us and He does Not lie! It is all for His Glory through our lives that He seeks!
Now, as you begin immediately to do what ever He tells you to do, and you come to the Outcome that He has planned for each and every problem, situation and mess corrected, Don't Forget To Thank Him! God Will make us stronger, wiser, than we were before in order to Continue to Lead you by His Loving Eye on the path, taking the steps that He is guiding you (each of us) To Take!
Remember, you must be humble, willing, and teachable, and by being this way, Nothing Is impossible for God to do in the name of Jesus for your life! Nothing Will Ever Be wasted if you continue to take it all to Him and leave it, Asking Him to correct what is wrong! He Desires to lead us, to help us Fulfill His Will, His Plans And His Purposes for our lives for each day, so that the Purpose for our life that He has Chosen us and Called us to do--We Will Complete! Thank You Jesus, Amen!
In the Name of Jesus, I PRAY that you Will bring to our Father in the name of Jesus, All the broken parts and pieces of your life, Leaving them All with Him, Asking Him to make sure that nothing Is Wasted. Asking Him to forgive you and to help you forgive others, And to turn every wrong and bad thing into Glory for Him concerning your life!
I PRAY that you Will humble yourself, be willing and teachable so that You will grow and mature in your Spiritual and emotional lives, And that You will strengthen your relationship with our Lord Jesus so that for each day you shall Learn More of Him. I PRAY that You will begin to allow Him to change you in all the ways He knows you Need to be changed, And that when you Hear Him Tell you what to do, that You Will NOT question Him, you Will Not allow doubt and fear to over ride Him, that You Will Not ignore or reject what He has told you to do.
I PRAY that You Will Immediately get up and Do what Ever He tells you to do. That you Will Release your faith and trust in Him and Glorify our Father God in the Name of Jesus, Amen!
I'll Be their God and they'll Be My people.
leave it for good," says God.
"Don't link up with those who will pollute you.
you'll Be sons and daughters to Me."


This little gem was created for the online cooking class that we ran on July 9th. (Which was a runaway success, if you missed it, you can still purchase the replay, which is a bit of a laugh!) This is sort of a grown up mayonnaise...not for the feint hearted. I used a delicious black garic and miso kimchi, and then a Thai chilli and galangal kimchi, so depending on your preference, you will quite a different flavour profile. You could make your own kimchi, (watch this space) we plan on making a recipe for the Insider Club soon. Hope you are all over that!! See you on the inside.
Place kimchi into Thermomix bowl and chop 4 sec/speed 5.
Set timer to 4 minutes.
Add vinegar, mustard and egg to Thermomix bowl and emulsify 1 min/37°C/speed 4.
When there is 3 minutes left on timer, hold MC in place with your hand, (to prevent it floating) while you pour the oil onto the lid.
Remove the lid, scrape around the blades and add more oil (onto the lid with blade on speed 4 again) for a thicker mayonnaise. Mayo will also thicken further once cooled.
Mayonnaise will last for around 3 weeks if kept in a sterilised jar in the fridge. However...we think you will be needing to make another batch way before that.
IMPORTANT: Using the wrong kind of oil will equal bitter mayo. Please make sure to use a flavourless oil for scrummy results, such as an extra light/mellow/mild olive oil.


The Star Trek franchise continues with the release of Star Trek Into Darkness. I'm not much of a trekkie but I do like sci-fi movies, so for this reason I decided to go watch this at our local cinema with some friends.
One of my favourite movies has to be Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) and with that in mind I decided to go watch The Host (2013), as it has aliens and it had so called aliens invading bodies. I figured with these key ingredients the movie can do no wrong.

Debunking the myth of the common law marriage
'I do not support two classes of adjudication depending on whether there happens to be a marriage. I support the extension of the existing system of judicial equitable distribution to the unmarried, warts and all.'
These are the words of Sir Nicholas Mostyn, a Judge in the Family Division of the High Court, at a family law conference a few weeks ago. The comments were widely reported and believed to have been in part a response to former High Court Judge, Sir Paul Coleridge, who has been an outspoken proponent of the institution of marriage, believing it to be more stable than cohabitation and the 'ideal' structure for families. Given that the Government shelved the Law Commission's carefully considered recommendations on reform, I do not anticipate the debate about the legal rights attaching to cohabitation will be resolved anytime soon. This is unfortunate given that the pernicious myth of the 'common law marriage' persists. This is the idea that unmarried couples who are living together are, after a certain period of time, treated for all purposes by the law as if they were married. They are not, as demonstrated in the recent case of Southwell v Blackburn [2014] EWCA Civ 1347. Southwell v Blackburn The case involved an unmarried couple who moved in together in 2002 and lived as if man and wife. Ms Blackburn, who had two young daughters, helped select the property but Mr Southwell bought the house in his sole name, with his own money and his own mortgage. When the relationship broke down in mid-2012, Mr Southwell required Ms Blackburn and her daughters to leave and illegally changed the locks while they were out. Ms Blackburn was unable to show that she was the beneficiary of a constructive trust because there was no common intention on the part of Mr Southwell to share the property with her. However, she was able to establish an equity in the property on the basis of proprietary estoppel because Mr Southwell had assured Ms Blackburn she would have a secure home and she had given up her own accommodation in reliance on that promise, and the Judge at first instance held that it would be unconscionable in all the circumstances to allow Mr Southwell to renege. In the Judge's view, it was inequitable for Mr Southwell not to return Ms Blackburn to the position she had been in before they moved in together, so he ordered Mr Southwell to pay her the sum of £28,500 (representing £15,000 she had spent on the property she had given up and £5,000 she contributed to the new house, adjusted for inflation). The Court of Appeal In dismissing Mr Southwell's appeal, the Court of Appeal made some interesting points:
the promise that she would always have a secure home was specific enough and not impliedly limited to the duration of the couple's relationship;
a denial of co-ownership was not inconsistent with the promise of secure rights of occupation;
in these cases, courts should focus on the causal link between the assurance relied upon and the detriment asserted rather than attempting to make an accounting evaluation of the benefits, financial and otherwise, which flowed between the parties during the relationship; and
having promised her a secure home, the fact that they were not married did not make it conscionable for Mr Southwell to force Ms Blackburn to leave with nothing.
Southwell v Blackburn demonstrates how fact-specific these claims are and makes clear that in cases of proprietary estoppel, courts are not going to focus on the nature of the relationship between the parties but on whether the requirements of assurance, detriment and reliance, are satisfied. Further, courts are not interested in carrying out a detailed inquiry and accounting exercise in relation to the benefits arising from and passing between a couple during the relationship. In cohabitation cases, it is the principles of property, trusts and contract that will apply. Put it in writing Whether one thinks the outcome of the Southwell v Blackburn was fair or not, the case illustrates just how complex, uncertain, expensive, and potentially unjust the law can be for cohabitants. It may be time for the Government to reconsider the Law Commission's 2007 recommendations for reform in this area. In the meantime, as unromantic as it may be, unmarried couples thinking about purchasing property or moving in together would be well advised to consider how they intend to hold the property they will live in and to put their intentions in writing or have a cohabitation agreement drafted. It will not prevent heartbreak in the event the relationship ends, but it may well save the stress, anxiety and costs of litigation when it does.

Who's that heavily tattooed guy in a T-shirt and stylish European sunglasses, dwarfing the Kurdish fighter to his right? Apparently, that's Ron — just one of several Dutch bikers who've taken up arms with Kurdish soldiers against ISIS.
Ron is one of at least three members of the No Surrender biker gang now believed to be fighting in Iraq near Mosul, according to the gang's leaders. The photo first appeared last week on a Dutch-Kurdish Twitter account.
They're not the first foreigners to join the anti-ISIS battle. In addition to the government-sanctioned air strikes, several Americans are also believed to be fighting alongside Kurdish forces on the ground in Kobani, Syria.
Citizens joining ISIS will be prosecuted, because it is a terrorist organization, but fighting against it is technically all right. However, No Surrender members may cross the line if they join the far-left PKK, a Kurdish nationalist organization fighting ISIS in Kobani, which is also designated as a terrorist group by the EU.

Blog Tour & Review ~ Heartbeats by Sarah O'Rourke
He'll fight her every step of the way. She's fighting because there is no other way to keep him alive.
Legendary FBI profiler Matteo Cassano gives the orders. He is not accustomed at all to following them. The control-freak legend of the FBI could have any woman he wants, and often had in the past. But when he meets the amazing, younger Brenna Langley, he might have finally found the woman that could change his entire life.
Brenna Lagley is professional, focused, and determined to move ahead in her career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Having tried a few failed relationships, she had decided that romance would not be in the cards for her. That was, until Matt Cassano enters her orbit and she finds herself on a secret, covert mission to save the great man from himself.
But what happens when these two determined personalities clash and the change is more than either one of them bargained for? And when Matt's health becomes an issue, can the fledgling relationship survive?
STANDALONE. HEA. Romantica erotica.

"For the first time in my life, I can feel my heart beating. And it's beating for us."
This is my first read by Sarah O'Rourke and as well as delivering a cute romance this book had me chuckling as they expertly nailed the hilarious shenanigans only an oestrogen filled Italian family could bring. This book caught my eye because of my favourite TV programme, Criminal Minds. Both our hero and heroine are criminal profilers and I had visions of long loved characters at the BAU coming to life in words. While this book only touches on their careers, I was more than satisfied, but this story is more about the romance between Matteo Cassano and Brenna Langley and what a smile inducing one it was.
This is a whirl wind romance and moves at warp speed, but these two have known each other a long time and have lusted over each other from afar for a while. So, for those that are not a fan of instalove please bear that in mind.
Brenna is in her mid-twenties and has been admiring her older colleague, Matteo for quite some time. Even though Brenna is a strong woman, when it comes to her love life she is a lot more reserved. When Brenna comes across a piece of information pertaining to Matteo that has her all worried about his welfare, operation subterfuge comes into play as she tries in vain to help her languishing colleague, with hilarious at times results.
"Hell hath no fury like three Cassano sisters who have been misinformed."
With Mama Cassano and three "Spawn" sisters the oestrogen levels in the Cassano family is at an all-time high and being the oldest and the only male in the family the females in the Cassano's have Matteo wrapped around their little fingers and there is nothing that this Italian man wouldn't do for any of them. Much to Matteo's dismay though, it cuts both ways and these Italian women are just as forthright and bossy when it comes to their son and brother.
"And hell hath no fury like the three Cassano sisters who were just following their Mama's orders."
Matteo doesn't have a great track record with women and with his job and his other career as an author there is not much time in his hectic life for the opposite sex. However, Brenna Langley may just be the exception to the rule, if Matteo can get his head out his back side to realise. With the rest of the Cassano's firmly on Brenna's side though, Matteo does not stand a chance, not that he wants to.
"I want the fairytale, Matteo. I never realized that I did until now."
I had tears of laughter reading this one, these Italian women are funny as hell as individuals and hilarious as a collective. The passion and love in the Cassano family is the crux that holds them together and anyone reading would be envious of the connection that this family has. Low on angst, high on laughs and steam Sarah O'Rourke deliver a well-rounded story that gives you a huge dose of the warm and fuzzies. Heart-warming and panty melting this was a great, easy read.
"Only a mother's voice could hit that exactly perfect tone, an incredulous mixture of guilt and shame, with just a touch of irritation thrown in for good measure."
