Keith Richards, about snorting his father's ashes (2007):
"I snorted my father. He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow, and… Yeah, my dad wouldn't have cared, he didn't give a shit… What I said about the cocaine bit was rubbish… I'd opened his box up and said, Jesus I've got to do something with dad, you know, plant the oak tree. I pulled the lid off and out comes a bit of dad on the dining room table. I'm going, I can't use the brush and dustpan for this. So you just gotta like (taps table) put it together. What I found out is that ingesting your ancestors is a very respectable way of, you know… he went down a treat."
(Ref. keith richards dad's ashes)
From Reuters:
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards said in an interview that he snorted his father's ashes during a drugs binge, British media reported late on Tuesday.
The top selling Sun tabloid said the interview appeared in the latest edition of the NME music magazine.
An NME spokeswoman said the story was genuine and not a late April Fool's joke, and that the edition in question would appear on newsstands across Britain from Wednesday. She did not have a copy of the interview available late on Tuesday.
"The strangest thing I've tried to snort?" the Sun quoted Richards as saying in its early Wednesday edition.
"My father. I snorted my father.
"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared.
"It went down pretty well and I'm still alive."
According to the report, Richards' father, Bert, died in 2002 aged 84.
The 63-year-old rocker, who underwent an operation in New Zealand last year after reportedly falling out of a tree when in Fiji, also took a swipe at some of the big musical acts of today.
"Everyone's a load of crap," he said. "They are trying to be somebody else and they ain't being themselves. Libertines, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party? Load of crap, load of crap. Posers, rubbish."
Richards said he was proud of his ability to survive despite a legendary rock'n'roll lifestyle.
"I was number one on the 'Who's Likely To Die' list for 10 years. I mean, I was really disappointed when I fell off the list.
"Some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral."
Richards' publicist in London was not immediately available for comment on the interview.

Sex, Love, and a Little Magic
Jenna Castille
Tales from The Keep
Welcome to my first completely self-published series, Tales from the Keep. Set in my Matched by Magic universe, you'll see some familiar faces, especially in the beginning. But this will grow as more characters find love in The Keep. I hope you'll enjoy your visits here as much as I will.
Feast for the Incubus
Matched by Magic Book 1 - Available Now for Pre-Order. Release set for November
Doubts reign over Ian's life – doubts about his worth, doubts about his decisions, and doubts about why anyone would want to be with him. But Ian has no doubt that he needs to change. When yet another boyfriend dumps him, Ian vows to find what he's missing. He will do whatever it takes to fix his sex life, even visit a strange club filled with even stranger patrons.
Kit has never doubted his place in the world, at least not since the moment he walked into The Keep. He belongs with his Master. Sorinu helps keep him centered. He understands all of Kit's quirks and loves him for them. Kit just wishes that he could be enough to keep Sorinu satisfied. But sometimes love isn't enough.
Sorinu is hungry. As an incubus, he's been able to survive on the energies released from his sanctuary, the paranormal, BDSM club called The Keep. Plus, he has one of his mates standing beside him, his sweet Kit. But he's still hungry, slowly starving. Without his other mate, Sorinu's appetite will never be sated.
Within the walls of The Keep, these three men might find more than lust. In the end, maybe love will be a feast to assuage every craving.

2013 hot-button issues: The U.S. economy and Middle East peace are most critical problems
Thomas Bink
David vs. David January 3, 2013
Even in the best of times there is no shortage of problems — and few would characterize 2013 as "best of times." So the following offers a listing of specific problems conducive to global grief.
The Fiscal Cliff/U.S. Economic Problems. Like the ghost of Christmas Future, the "fiscal cliff" haunted U.S. political commentary for months.
Rarely has so silly a sobriquet had such an over-hyped existence. Addressing it on New Year's Day projected the legislative equivalent of college fraternity "all-nighter" frenzy. One would think significant numbers of Americans, ignorant of economics beyond balancing their checkbooks, sincerely believed failure to reduce the cliff to a molehill would plunge the USA into Stygian darkness.
However, the circumstances were more pedestrian — akin to a "dead man's switch" — unless specific action was taken, a set of tax cuts would be eliminated and automatic spending reductions ("sequestration") instituted. This combination of tax increases and spending cuts was created to prompt politicians to address both taxes and spending coherently and with sophisticated calculation rather than being implemented mechanically.
The ritualized holiday posturing resulted in a "kick-the-can-down-the-road" decision. Taxes rise for those earning over $400,000 but spending cuts are delayed for two months. Republicans have lost this round; they betrayed their mantra of no tax increases — and certainly none without significant spending cuts. They hope to recoup during debate over increasing the national borrowing limit, but if Republicans rolled on a domestic point, it is hard to see them willing to declare the equivalent of international bankruptcy. So Canadians need not worry; Republicans are furious but not suicidal. Lesson for Republicans? Don't lose the 2012 election.
Syria. Bashar al-Assad's embattled regime is repeatedly characterized as verging on collapse. But it hasn't listened to its critics and condescended to self-immolate. And the desperate intensity with which government forces fight rebels of various ilk deserves recognition if not respect. We have a long-honed tendency to support the underdog without appreciating that the underdog can be just as odious as the top dog, just momentarily the subordinate canine. Unquestionably, Assad's government is not League of Women Voters presentable; but insurgents have also committed murderously vicious human rights violations. Their atrocities appear more limited by opportunity than by any reluctance to massacre opponents.
Consequently, the West in general and the United States/Canada in particular should sideline themselves. We don't have a dog in the fight; we should not play global 911. Syria's neighbors, particularly Turkey, could "regime change" in short order should they desire. If they are smart enough not to intervene directly, we should regard their reluctance as wisdom.
Iranian Nukes. Day by day we edge toward the incandescently depicted "red line" regarding Iranian nuclear weapons capability. But we don't know where/when it is — and Tehran with deliberate duplicity offers disingenuous comment on its "peaceful" nature. The Jan. 22 Israeli election will reinforce PM Benjamin Netanyahu's political control, giving him leeway to act against the Iranian nuclear program. Haunted by Holocaust memories and with "never again" a living coda, Israelis are unlikely to accept Iranian nukes. We must assume that sanctions won't work (they never do) and be prepared to live with Iranian nukes or, with open eyes, accept the consequences of military action. Will we label it a war of choice or of necessity?
Israelis-Palestinians. The hoary "two scorpions locked in a bottle" analogy arises. Some of the best minds of the 20th-21st centuries have grappled with the conundrum. Essentially, both Jews and Palestinians claim that "God" gave them the land, and finding mechanisms to divide it or live in mutual tolerance escapes negotiators. Any peace — beyond pauses for reloading — recedes into the distance; it is further away than ever. There is no credible Palestinian interlocutor and no Israeli interest in concessions to Hamas terrorists.
Religious Persecution. The intensity of religious persecution is rising globally. And Christians appear to bearing the brunt of these attacks, from China through Africa. Specifically, Islam may profess to be a religion of peace; however, more often than not this "peace" is a my-way-or-the-cemetery philosophy. Throughout its traditional lands of origin particularly in the Middle East, Christians (and Jews) have been "cleansed" either by adroitly precautionary self-action or by direct threats that offer departure or death as the alternatives. The most obvious imperiled Christian communities are Egypt's Coptic Christians, and Christians are likely victims in a post-Assad Syria. Will the West and Canada tolerate pogroms against Christians as a lamentable but tolerable accessory to ending dictatorships during the Arab Spring?

Cloud Computing Energy Usage: don't forget the Last Mile.
Access networks, not data centres, are the biggest threat to the sustainability of cloud services. This is the conclusion of a research conducted by the University of Melbourne.
The datacenter industry is very much focussed on the energy efficiency inside the datacenter and the benefits of economy of scale by centralizing computer power and data storage.
But datacenters are part of a much larger supply chain were up streams a lot of things are happening with the power supply (renewables, CO2 emission, smart grids) and down streams a lot of things are happening with the networks and the end-users.
The datacenter industry doesnt pay much attention yet to the big transformation that is taking place on the end-user side (any time, anywhere connected to communicate and to exchange data) and the energy consumption of (access) networks.
What is happening in 'the last mile', end-user behaviour and access networks, will have a big impact on datacenters. Energy calculations in the report show that by 2015, wireless cloud (WiFi and cellular technology) will consume between the 32 TWh (low scenario) and 43 TWh (high scenario), compared to only 9.2 TWh in 2012, an increase of 460%. The take-up of wireless devices is shown by the fact that global mobile data traffic overall is currently increasing at 78% per annum and mobile cloud traffic specifically is increasing at 95% per annum. Wireless cloud traffic is about 20% of mobile traffic and approximately 35% of data center traffic (Cisco).
One of they key findings of the research is that wireless access network technologies account for 90% of total wireless cloud energy consumption. Data centres account for only about 9%. The energy consumption of wireless user devices is negligible.
To ensure the sustainability of cloud services, there needs to be a more stronger focus on the whole supply chain and especially 'the last mile', the wireless access networks, the part of the supply chain that consumes the most energy.
The report "The Power Of Wireless Cloud" is available over here.
See also the blogs on changing end-users behaviour and energy consumption of networks.
How does cloud computing energy consumption compare with conventional computing? A new research report can help to improve strategic decision making on sustainability and cloud computing.
Most studies of energy consumption in cloud computing have focused only on the energy consumed in the data center. Although research showed that the energy consumption of data networks is something that cannot be neglected (see blog ), up to now the role of the network is almost entirely overlooked in the discussion of how green is cloud computing.
Recently a very interesting report on this topic came available and some of the results were presented at a seminar of Green IT Amsterdam. The research was conducted by SURF. SURF is the collaborative organisation for ICT in higher education and research in The Netherlands.
The 'Energy-to-Bits' scenario; with 'greener' energy being moved to the datacenter where the data resides.
What are the sustainability effects of data transport over the data network? How much energy is required and what is the CO2 footprint?
What are the sustainability effects of energy transport? When is it suitable to acquire green energy from elsewhere?
Perform all computing locally, powered by locally produced energy.
Perform all computing at a remote location, powered by energy that is produced sustainably at the remote location.
Perform all computing locally, powered by energy that is produced sustainably at a remote location.
So for those enterprises that takes sustainability seriously, one of the major trades-offs to be made within an enterprise cloud strategy is how to distribute data storage and data processing across the cloud.
The energy required to transport the data and the energy required for energy transport can be considerable and cannot be neglected in evaluating the overall level of sustainability in the various use cases.
Application features as data processing times or required storage play a significant role in the final outcomes.
One important conclusion is that in many data scenarios where the local data centre can import cleaner energy from elsewhere, the best course of action is to keep the data local and perform calculations locally.
Based on these models a website calculator is made available.
The report "Transporting Bits or Transporting Energy, Does it matter?" is available here.

India: Clause XII Of Letters Patent And Original Jurisdiction Of The High Court Established Under Letters Patent
by Pushkraj Deshpande (Gurgaon)
What are Letters Patent ?
Letters Patent is a type of legal instrument in the form of a published written order issued by a monarch, president, or other head of state, generally granting an office, right, monopoly, title, or status to a person or corporation. Letters patent can be used for the creation of corporations or government office. In 1823, in the British-India the letters patent was issued by the monarch of England in order to create another Supreme Court in the Presidency of Bombay similar to that of Supreme Court of Madras and Calcutta. King George IV issued Letters patent in the year 1823 for establishment of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay. Now there were 3 Supreme Courts operating in British India. The eastern part of India which came under the Bengal Presidency had Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William (Calcutta) established in 1774, the southern part of India which came under the Madras Presidency had Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras established in the year 1817 and the western part of India came under the Bombay Presidency had the Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay, established by the letters patent by the King Gorge the IV in the year 1823.
In the year 1857, the great Indian revolt against the British East India Company took place and as an impact of the great revolt the control of the East India Company over India was transferred to the Crown by the new enactment the Government of India Act, 1858. This Act ended the dual raj on India and all the administration thereafter came under the Crown. In the year 1961 the British Parliament passed an enactment as "The Indian High Courts Act 1861" which received the assent of the Crown. Accordingly by the letters patent dated 26th June 1862, the earlier letters patent for establishment of the Supreme Courts were revoked and new High Courts were to be established in Bombay on 14th August 1862, Calcutta on 2nd July 1862 and in Madras on 15th August 1862. All these courts enjoyed and still enjoy the Original Jurisdiction.
Extract of Revocation of Letters Patent of 1802 whereby establishment of Supreme Court was revoked
"Now know ye that We, upon full consideration of the premises, and of Our especial grace, certain knowledge, and mere motion, have thought fit to revoke, and do by these presents (from and after the date of the publication thereof, as hereinafter provided and subject to the provisions thereof) revoke our said Letters Patent of the Twenty-sixth of June One thousand Eight hundred and Sixty-two except so far as the Letters Patent of the Fourth year of His Majesty King George the Fourth dated the Eighth day of December One thousand Eight hundred and Twenty-three, establishing a Supreme Court of Judicature at Bombay, were revoked or determined thereby".
Vide the above Letters Patent the earlier Letters Patent issued by King George the IV was revoked.
Establishment of the High Courts
"And We do by these presents grant, direct, and ordain that notwithstanding the revocation of the said Letters Patent of the Twenty-sixth of June One thousand Eight hundred and Sixty-two, the High Court of Judicature, called the High Court of Judicature at Bombay, shall be and continue as from the time of the original erection and establishment thereof, the High Court of Judicature at Bombay for the Presidency of Bombay aforesaid, and that the said Court shall be and continue a Court of Record and that all proceedings commenced in the said High Court, prior to the date of the publication of these Letters Patent, shall be continued and depend in the said High Court as if they had commenced in the said High Court after the date of such publication, and that all rules and orders in force in the said High Court immediately before the date of the publication of these Letters Patent shall continue in force, except so far as the same are altered hereby until the same are altered by competent authority".
Clause XI of the Letters patent (Local Jurisdiction of the court )—
"And We do hereby ordain that the said High Court of Judicature at Bombay shall have and exercise ordinary original civil jurisdiction within such local limits as may from time to time, be declared and prescribed by any law made by the Governor in Council, and until some local limits shall be so declared and prescribed, within the limits of the local jurisdiction of the said High Court of Bombay at the date of the publication of these presents, and the ordinary original civil jurisdiction of the said High Court shall not extend beyond the limits for the time being declared and prescribed as the local limits of such jurisdiction".
Clause XII of the Letters Patent –
"And We do further ordain that the said High Court of Judicature at Bombay, in the exercise of its ordinary original civil jurisdiction, shall be empowered to receive, try, and determine suits of every description, if, in the case of suits for land or other immovable property such land or property shall be situated, or in all other cases if the cause of action shall have arisen, either wholly, or in case the leave of the Court shall have been first obtained, in part, within the local limits of the ordinary original jurisdiction of the said High Court or if the defendant at the time of the commencement of the suit shall dwell or carry on business, or personally work for gain, within such limits; except that the said High Court shall not have such original jurisdiction in cases falling within the jurisdiction of the Small Cause Court at Bombay, or the Bombay City Civil Court."
Clause XII of the Letters Patent of the High Court empowers the High Courts at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras to try certain suits in the exercise of their Ordinary Original Civil Jurisdiction (O.O.C.J) where the claim of the suit exceeds a particular amount and are within the local original territorial jurisdiction of the Court. In exercise of Jurisdiction under the Letters Patent, the High Court is also empowered to hear the suit outside the local original territorial Jurisdiction of the Court. In order to use those powers under Clause XII of the Letters patent, the Court has to ascertain if the Leave under Clause XII shall be granted to any such suit which is outside the territorial jurisdiction of the court or whether to reject such a suit.
Which suits falls under the category by Clause XII of the Letters Patent
Let us divide the above extract of the Clause XII in parts in order to understand the meaning and essence of the Clause XII.
Part 1 - Suits for Land
"And we do further ordain..........shall be empowered to receive, try, and determine suits of every description (any suit), if, in the case of suits for land or other immovable property...."
From the above extract it can be understood that vide Clause XII, suit of any description including suits for land or other immoveable property can be tried by the High Court under its original Jurisdiction.
"....such land or property shall be situated (within the local limits), or in all other cases if the cause of action shall have arisen, either wholly (entire cause of action has arisen within the local jurisdiction of the court), or, in case the leave of the Court shall have been first obtained, in part (Leave under clause XII to be obtained if cause of action arises partly outside the local limits), within the local limits of the ordinary original jurisdiction of the said High Court..."
If the land or property is situated wholly within the local limits of the Ordinary Original Civil Jurisdiction of the said High Court, suit can be tried by the High Court without grant of any leave.
Only with the leave of the Court the suits other than mentioned in "a" where the part of the property is situated outside the local limits of the original jurisdiction of the court or where the cause of action partly has arisen outside the local limits of the original jurisdiction of the High Court. These suits can be tried only after the leave under this clause is obtained form the High Court.
If it is a suit for land, i.e. Partition Suit, suit for declaration of the rights of property, suit for specific performance of the agreement relating to the dealing of land and if such a land or property or flat or house or plot is completely outside the local limits of the Original Jurisdiction of the court then no question of the leave under clause XII arises.
Part 2 - Suit other than Suit for Land
".....or in all other cases if the cause of action shall have arisen, either wholly, or in case the leave of the Court shall have been first obtained, in part, within the local limits of the ordinary original jurisdiction of the said High Court...."
The 1st part of the above extract can be understood as that, the court can try the suit under its original jurisdiction, if the cause of action has arisen wholly within limits of the original Jurisdiction of the High Court. In this case there is no need to take leave under Clause XII to try suit in the High Court's Original Jurisdiction.
The 2nd part mentions about the leave under clause XII. If the cause of action has arisen in part only within the local limits of the original Jurisdiction of the High Court then such a suit can only be tried once the leave under the Clause XII is obtained by the Plaintiff.
"...or if the defendant at the time of the commencement of the suit shall dwell or carry on business, or personally work for gain, within such limits; except that the said High Court shall not have such original jurisdiction in cases falling within the jurisdiction of the Small Cause Court at Bombay, or the Bombay City Civil Court."
If the defendant at the time of the commencement of the suit dwells or carries on business or personally works for gain outside the local limits of the original jurisdiction of the High Court then the suit can be tried in the High Court only after the Leave under Clause XII has been obtained by the Plaintiff. Here outside the local limits does not only mean outside the local limits but within India, the defendant even if he is carrying out business outside India then leave of the Court Under Clause XII shall be obtained.
When and How to obtain leave
Under Order IV Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure (C.P.C), the suit shall be filed with the plaint along with other relied annexure/exhibits as per and in accordance with Order VI and VII of the C.P.C.
Under Order IV rule 2 of the C.P.C which reads as "Register of Suits- The Court shall cause the particulars of every suit to be entered in a book to be kept for the purpose and called the register of civil suits. Such entries shall be numbered in every year according to the order in which the plaints are admitted "the register of Suits is to be maintained". This means that once the suit is filed and if it is in accordance with Order IV, Order VI and Order VII of the C.P.C then the said suit shall be entered/admitted into the Register of Suit.
If the suit falls within the dimensions of the earlier mentioned conditions then the leave under clause XII shall be obtained in order to commence with the hearing of the suit in the High Court. Now as soon as the suit is lodged the Leave Petition (L.P) shall be filed with the High Court to obtain leave under Clause XII of the Letters Patent Act. The said petition is then listed before the Hon'ble Judge of the High Court in order to evaluate if the said suit falls under the ambit of the leave under Clause XII and the leave is either granted or rejected.
The general practice of the filing department at the High Court of Bombay is, on filing of the suit i.e. the plaint along with all the relied annexures/exhibits relied upon by the Plaintiff, the department provides you with a lodging number of the suit indicating that the suit has been lodged but not admitted into the register of suits. This lodging number is indicated as "Suit (L) No. 000 of 2019". On lodging of the suit the suit is further sent to other departments in order to get the objections raised in that suit to check if the said suit is in accordance with Order IV, Order VI and Order VII of the C.P.C. and if the leave under any of the clause of Bombay Letters Patent Act is required to be obtained. Once all the defects in the suit are removed then the suit is said to be admitted and newly numbered as per the register of the suits. The suit will now be indicated as "Suit No. 123 of 2019".
What if in the mean time the matter is listed before the Hon'ble Court for hearing on interim relief when the suit is still bearing the "Lodging" number and not entered in the Register of Suit, is it too late to obtain the Leave under Clause XII?
A similar proposition was raised in the case of Caribjet Inc. v. Air India (2005 (2) MhLj 461) Ltd which was dealt with by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court
In paragraph 11, the Hon'ble Bombay High Court held that, "In our opinion, the legal position has been correctly set out by P. B. Sawant, J. (as he then was) in Union Bank of India v. Sunpack Corporation and Ors., (1986 Mh.L.J. 237) as follows : As per the existing practice the plaint is presented to the Prothonotary and Sr. Master of this Court who is the officer appointed for the acceptance of the plaint as per Order IV, Rule 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure Then follows the next stage mentioned in Rule 2 of the said Order, namely, the entry of the particulars of the suit in the register of suits and their seriatim numbering according to the order in which the plaints are admitted. Order V, Rule 1 then states that it is only when the suit has been duly admitted that the summons is to be issued to the defendant or defendants as the case may be. This is also clear from the provisions of Order VII, Rule 9. The Code itself, therefore, envisages two stages - first, of the presentation of the plaint, and the next, of the admission of the plaint. The suit is not admitted to the register of suits and number is given to it, merely on the presentation of the plaint. After the presentation, the plaint is scrutinized. If there are any defects in the same, the plaintiff is required to remove them. The removal of defects is a matter of procedure. It is only after the defects are removed that it becomes eligible for an entry and a number, in the register of suits. One of the defects can be the absence of leave of the Court to institute the suit where it is necessary, including leave under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent. So long, therefore, as the plaint is not admitted and entered in the register of suits, all defects including that of the absence of leave under the said clause, can be removed without returning the plaint. It was pointed out that it is the confusion between the two stages, namely presentation of the plaint and of its admission to the register of suits after the removal of the defects, if any, which is responsible for the faulty procedure adopted by the office. Sawant J. directed the office not to return the plaint for want of leave under Clause 12 of the Letters Patent but only require the plaintiff to obtain the leave and admit it to the register when leave is obtained. The office followed and implemented the directions of Sawant J. However, it appears that after the decision of Suresh J. in Rhoda Mehta's case (supra) which has taken a contrary view, the office again changed the practice. Incidentally, neither in Rhoda Mehta's case nor in the other decisions rendered by the learned single Judge the decision of Divisional Bench in Ramgopal Chunilal's case was noted. Those decisions are clearly per incuriam. We are informed that following an unreported decision of Kochar J. dated 11th March, 1977 in Nat Steel Equipment Pvt. Ltd. v. Bangalore Heart Hospital and Research Centre (Summary Suit (Ld) No. 213 of 1999) the old practice of not returning the plaint for want of leave has been restored by the office. In the circumstances, the fact that the suit was accepted by the authorised officer of this Court prior to obtaining leave under Clause 12 will make no difference inasmuch as it is only upon numbering of the suit that it can be said to have been "accepted" by this Court. It is, therefore, not possible to accept the submission that the plaint as lodged on 20th July, 2001 was improper presentation. In the present case, admittedly, leave under Clause 12 was granted on 8th September, 2001 and only thereafter the suit came to be numbered on 13th September, 2001. There is thus no reason to interfere with the order granting leave under Clause 12. Appeal is accordingly dismissed. "As long as the plaint is not admitted and entered in the register of suits, all defects including that of the absence of leave under the said clause, can be removed without returning the plaint."
The Hon'ble High Court differentiated what is lodging number and what is the final number. When the Suit is on its Lodging Number it is not admitted in the Register of the Suits and all the defects raised by the Court's offices can be dealt with until it is on its lodging number. Obtaining clause XII if not obtained on lodging of the suit, can still be obtained before the Suit is admitted in the Register of the Suits under Order IV Rule 2 of the C.P.C.
The Leave under Clause XII is a vital and important power granted to the High Courts of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta. This defines the Power of the Higher Judiciary to have its own independent original Jurisdiction wherein the cases with complexity can be directly filed to the higher court which is capable to handling the case which includes several cause of actions and properties in question which are situated in different parts of state or country. It also avoids the multiplicity of the judicial proceedings which would likely happen taking into consideration the separate cause of actions and properties situated at different parts of country. The reason for establishment of the High Courts then meant the end of the Rule of the East India Company which was later dissolved, and the administrative powers were transferred to the Crown, the then Queen Victoria. With the establishment of the High Courts in 3 provinces came an end of the Supreme Court in those 3 Provinces. All the appeals from the High Courts were directed to the Privy Councils. The Queen, vide the Letters patent, granted wide powers to the High Courts of the 3 Provinces in order to have a total control over the administrative and judicial powers of the Country then ruled by her. The Powers under the letters patent were so vital that it is still in force and practiced in the High Courts, even after 70 years of Independence for the good and well being of the litigants.

Applying for a small business credit card might sound intimidating, but it's easier than you might think. You may qualify for a small business credit card and not realize it.
Many small business credit cards participate in the same points and miles reward programs as personal credit cards. And all the points and miles you earn from your small business can be combined with your personal stash!
This guide explains what to expect if you apply for a small business credit card. It can be easy to qualify for a small business credit card that earns with some of our favorite rewards programs.
Do I Qualify for a Small Business Credit Card?
Qualifying for a small business credit card isn't difficult and usually doesn't require lots of paperwork. But the big question is, how can you qualify as a small business?
You own a legal business. If you already own a business, you can apply for a small business credit card. You will be required to submit your Employer Identification Number (EIN) and your Social Security number. Your personal credit report will be used to determine approval for a new credit card, so you should have good credit.
You're starting a new business. It's important to keep track of your finances, including keeping your personal and business expenses separate. Small business credit cards are a useful tool for new businesses separating business and personal finances. Plus, the extra capital can help your new business grow! Most start-ups don't last long, so banks may look at new business applications in more detail since they pose a higher risk.
You're already in business (but don't realize it). Even if your business doesn't have a legal structure, you may qualify as a business and be able to apply for a small business credit card. If you're earning income from performing a service, working as an independent contractor, or selling goods for a profit, then you're operating a business. You don't need to worry about creating a full business plan or even thinking of a business name, because you are the business and business name is your name.
A sole proprietorship is the easiest way for individuals to qualify as a small business. A sole proprietor is simply a person who owns a business and is responsible for its debts.
Sole proprietorship does not separate the business from the owner. Income and losses from the business are reported on the owner's individual tax return. You'll use your Social Security number for the application. An EIN is not necessary when applying as a sole proprietor.
If you regularly or even occasionally sell goods for a profit, that's considered a business. You might want to use your new small business credit card to buy a new camera to photograph items for sale or pay for shipping expenses.
Selling goods at bake sales, farmers markets, street fairs, or online markets like Etsy all qualify as a small business. Using your card to buy the materials and supplies to make your finished product to sell is a great way to see how much you profit.
Providing these services and others for a fee is a great business to operate. You could use your new small business credit to buy supplies or books to improve your line of work and increase your customers.
If you've ever rented out your extra bedroom, vacation property, or even your house when you went away on vacation, you're in business! There are plenty of expenses associated with renting out a liveable space. Internet services, electricity, food, toiletries, cleaning supplies…the list goes on and on.
Drivers working with online platforms are independent contractors and small business owners. You can use your small business credit card for gas, maintenance, and other expenses.
Bottom Line: Operating or starting a small business that qualifies for a small business credit card isn't as hard as it sounds, and there are plenty of things you could already be doing to qualify you as a small business owner!
Getting approved for a small business credit card comes with plenty of perks. Not only does it increase the financial flexibility of your small business, but it also helps keep your business expenses separate from your personal accounts.
We think the biggest perk is getting more points and miles from your small business expenses. Earning business rewards can significantly increase your ability to earn points and miles for your next big trip!
Another major perk is that small business credit cards do not appear on your personal credit report. Even though banks evaluate your personal credit when you apply for a small business credit card, it will not impact your credit score in the long term.
Small business credit cards do not count against your 5/24 status with Chase credit cards that fall into that rule. You can apply and get approved for as many small business credit cards as you want without worrying about going over the limit of 5 new accounts in 24 months. That includes Chase small business credit cards!
Another bonus is that most small business credit cards have the same rewards programs that you can combine with your personal cards.
Want to increase your Chase Ultimate Reward balance? The Ink Business Cash℠ Credit Card will help you earn more Ultimate Reward points (if you have another Chase card that has an annual fee). Or you can just keep things simple and collect valuable cash-back for your business with this card.
Need more Membership Rewards® from American Express? Look into their Business Platinum® Card from American Express, which comes with some fantastic earning bonuses for spending on select categories, like 5x points on all air travel.
Hot Tip: American Express limits their welcome bonus for the same card once per lifetime, but their small business credit cards are considered a different product from their similar personal card offerings.
One negative aspect of small business credit cards is they don't come with the usual consumer protections that personal credit cards have. For example, small business credit cards can change their APR at any time, unlike personal credit cards.
Businesses have credit reports, too. Capital One has launched Business CreditWise to get your business credit report for free – even if you don't have a Capital One account.
Filling out an application for a small business credit card is fairly easy. You will need to provide basic personal and business information.
These are the most common questions you'll find on most small business credit card applications.
You can use your full name as your legal business name when applying as a sole proprietor.
Your business name, or your name if you're a sole proprietor.
When operating an independent business, your home address would be your business address.
Here you will have the option choose between a corporation, partnership or sole proprietor.
Here, you'll select from a wide range of business categories such as manufacturing, retail trade, and transportation services. Be sure to select the options that best describe your business.
If you're applying as a sole proprietor, use your Social Security number. For businesses, your tax ID is your EIN. The format of your EIN is different (12-345678), but has the same number of numbers as a Social Security number.
You always want to be completely honest on credit card applications and it's important to know how long you've been in business. If you've been selling things for a profit off and on for a few years, you've been in business for a few years.
Here, you'll report the net profit your business makes annually. As a sole proprietor, you will figure out the total amount of sales minus any operating expenses. If your business only makes a small profit, don't let that deter you from applying for a small business credit card. Many businesses don't make a profit right away, so any net gain is positive.
If you're applying as a sole proprietor, you are the only employee. Other businesses can order additional cards for their employees, but all charges and fees associated with employee cards are the owner's responsibility.
You'll be required to provide your personal information for the bank to check your credit. Your credit score will be the determining factor for reviewing your creditworthiness for your small business application.
If you're applying as a sole proprietor and already provided this as your tax identification number, you will provide it again here. Other businesses will provide the owner's Social Security number.
Your gross total annual income is all the income you earn annually, including regular wages and profits from your small business.
You will be able to choose an authorizing officer for your account. If you're applying as a sole proprietor, you'll be the authorizing officer. Other options include president, partner, manager, and member.
Bottom Line: You don't need a ton of paperwork to submit your small business application. You need some basic information about your business and your personal credit information to see if you'll be approved!
If you're applying as a sole proprietor, this section won't apply since you are the only employee of your business.
Businesses with employees have the option to add additional cards for employees in the application, but you can request them later. You will need to provide personal information about the employees, but sometimes, you will only need their first and last name.
Remember, the owner is entirely responsible for all charges made on employee cards.
It's almost time to find out if you can get approved for a small business credit card!
You will want to review your application to ensure everything is correct, read and accept the terms and conditions, and submit.
You might quickly find out that you've been approved, which would be great news! American Express is also known for providing your new small business credit card number instantly on approval.
If you're not instantly approved, you might want to give it some time for the bank to review your application manually. Most banks will allow you to check your small business credit card application status online or by phone if you don't feel like waiting for snail mail.
Be prepared for a phone call from the bank. They may ask you to call them, or they might call you unexpectedly.
Don't worry; they probably want to get to know your business a little bit more, even if it's just a side business you do for extra income. That's completely normal.
We've selected our favorite small business credit cards to help you upgrade your points and miles balance with your small business expenses.
Small business credit cards offered by Chase offer the opportunity to earn additional points with their flexible rewards program, Ultimate Rewards®. We love Ultimate Rewards® for their great travel rewards program, but you can also use them for cash-back.

You can also get 35% of your points back when you book a flight with your pre-selected airline. This benefit is limited to up to 500,000 bonus points back every calendar year.
Gold status with Marriot Bonvoy and Hilton Honors and other hotel benefits when you book through Fine Hotels & Resorts.
The Business Platinum Card® from American Express comes with a hefty annual fee, but you can easily offset this with all the fantastic benefits it provides. Plus, it's less than the annual fee on the personal Platinum Card® from American Express.
The Blue Business℠ Plus Credit Card from American Express is a great small business credit card to consider.
The ability to earn 2x points per dollar spent on ANY transaction is pretty amazing, especially since it can increase your capital quickly with their introductory APR offer (see table above for details).

Dr. Walter Turnbull receives the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities for his creation of the Boys Choir of Harlem, an innovative program using music to educate and motivate inner city children to become disciplined, confident and successful adults.
Dr. Turnbull himself has traveled a long and difficult road. From the fields of the South where he chopped cotton as a child, to graduating with honors in classical music and vocal performance from Mississippi's Tougaloo College, Dr. Turnbull eventually settled in New York City where he hoped for a career as an opera tenor. But that professional ambition was sidetracked when he took a job teaching music in Harlem to support himself. There he discovered that despite the lure of the streets and unstable home lives, "music caused kids to focus." Thus, the idea for the Boys Choir of Harlem was born.
It began 30 years ago, when he gathered 20 youngsters in the basement of Ephesus Church. The Choir moved from being a performing ensemble for church services to one presenting concerts and recitals in public venues. Dr. Turnbull's infectious enthusiasm, his dedication, and his relentless enforcement of discipline paid handsome dividends. With its repertoire of Bach chorales, Mozart, spirituals and hymns, the Choir quickly became the pride of the area. And, just as important, it grew, actively reaching out to the community, opening auditions in local elementary schools, and providing academic tutoring and counseling to its members and their families. By the end of 1979, both a touring choir and the Girls Choir of Harlem had been established.
The desire to prove that children from Harlem could succeed academically propelled Dr. Turnbull to create the Choir Academy of Harlem, opened in 1986 as an on-site school serving grades 4 through 8. The program was refined and expanded over the years, until today it is a co-educational, college preparatory school offering grades 4 through 12 to over 500 students. Similar choir academy programs are being established in Detroit, San Francisco, Milwaukee and Chicago, each with advisory support from New York.
Dr. Turnbull specializes in more than cultivating the love of music in children, he is equally dedicated to turning lives around. He and the Choir give at-risk youths a chance to succeed, an opportunity many of them might never have had without Dr. Turnbull's love and commitment. Most are from single-parent households receiving some type of government assistance. But the Choir teaches these youngsters to walk with pride and to hold their heads high, regardless of their circumstances. Dr. Turnbull has commented, "It's not just about the Choir. It's about discipline. It's about feeling good about yourself. That's hope."
It is this spirit, combined with Dr. Turnbull's commitment to his craft, which has transformed a church basement dream into an international success. The path that long ago diverted him from his personal ambitions as a singer has led him instead to create an institution that elevates the art of song, while inspiring hope and pride in young people who otherwise might have none.
Walter Turnbull passed away on March 23, 2007.


Starting in May, we are temporarily suspending our Investigation Internship Program. We truly appreciate all the dedicated and intelligent candidates that applied, and we will reach out to you directly if the suspension of the program is lifted.
For anyone contemplating a career in law or criminal justice, this internship is an excellent opportunity for hands-on learning and experience in the field. Interns have an opportunity to learn about the law by being involved in all aspects of its practice. Also, interns are surrounded by attorneys who are willing to speak candidly about life as a law student and lawyer. As a result, interns leave with a fuller understanding of the legal system and specifically of the criminal justice process. They also are able to make informed decisions about whether or not this work is appropriate for them, and have a source for recommendations and job advice when they leave.
This internship, however, is not right for everyone. First, LCLC is a public defense nonprofit with all of the tight deadlines and long hours involved in trial work. Interns will certainly have time for interests outside the office, but those who mind working odd and sometimes long hours will not enjoy the pace of this work. Second, some people find criminal law too emotional and criminal defense law incompatible with their beliefs. LCLC represents persons charged with criminal offenses, and some are uncomfortable with the defense role in the adversary process. Third, this internship centers around investigative field work. Interns need to travel throughout the city to accomplish their investigations. Those areas will often include places that are reputed to be tough. If a potential applicant is extremely uncomfortable with the notion of working in urban communities, this may not be the right internship. This does not mean, however, that interns do not often have some trepidation about working in unfamiliar communities – some apprehension is common.
So why should you apply? The best interns usually want to learn about the law by actually working in it. By the end of this internship, every intern should have an opinion about our adversarial system of justice that is well-grounded in fact and experience. This position is also a chance to perform some needed public service. The indigent clients who come through our office have no funds to pay for investigators, yet cases are often won or lost on the basis of investigation. If you believe that the quality of legal representation should not be determined by the income of the accused, you have a place in this program.
Our interns play a vital role in the defense team and are treated as professionals with real substantive responsibility. At LCLC, interns are exposed to a wide range of criminal cases and make a significant contribution to improving the way that justice is administered. This is also a small program, so the investigations supervisor and attorneys are able to devote individualized attention to investigative interns. As a community based non-profit, importance is placed upon developing an understanding of clients' experiences, the relationship between the defense role and the justice system, and the ways that current trends in law affect the criminal justice system.
In conclusion, if you are interested in a challenging and substantive experience in the field of criminal law, we invite you to apply. The experience that you will receive, the skills you will develop, and the professional growth that you will gain guarantees that this will be a full and rewarding experience.
The priority application deadline for each term is noted below. It is important to note, however, that summer, fall, and spring terms are made on a rolling basis, so it is advisable to apply early. Occasionally, positions may still be available after the final application deadline – contact the Investigations Supervisor to inquire about availability. Applicants will receive a decision on their application no later than the notification date listed in the chart below.
The internship is open to students at accredited four-year colleges, community colleges, college graduates, or graduate students in Chicago, Illinois. With respect to undergraduate students, juniors and seniors are preferred, but freshmen and sophomores are sometimes accepted. Participants from a variety of academic majors are generally accepted, and all majors are eligible. Previous exposure to or experience in the fields of law, criminal justice, or public service is helpful but is not required.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate that they can devote a sufficient amount of time to this internship. (See time requirements for explanation.) LCLC needs interns who can make their investigative responsibilities a significant priority. Interns must also be able to demonstrate strong communication skills in the application process. The ability to easily communicate with persons of differing backgrounds, values and cultures, and to document work in written form that is appropriate for use in court, is crucial to investigative work.
Regardless of the additional materials submitted, all normal requirements of the application still apply. For instance, a separate writing sample cannot be substituted for responses to the essays.
Each applicant will be evaluated based upon the quality of the application, the strength of input from references, and the overall quality of past work and academic performance. Applicants who feel that they are lacking in a specific area should not be discouraged from applying – the strength of applicants is assessed by looking at qualifications collectively. No prerequisite course work or prior related experience is necessary, but some understanding of the criminal justice system is helpful.
The Investigations Supervisor will attempt to conduct in person interviews with each applicant during the evaluation period. Letters of recommendation and are not required but are sometimes helpful. If an applicant wishes to submit such letters, they may be included in the application packet or emailed separately. For full consideration, any additional materials should be submitted by the application deadline.

Vodafone UK Not Radio Gaga About Nokia
News Analysis Iain Morris, International Editor 3/8/2019
Vodafone UK is phasing Nokia out of its radio access network (RAN) and replacing the Finnish vendor with other kit suppliers, it emerged this week.
The UK mobile operator uses Nokia's RAN equipment at about 12% of its 18,000 sites, with Ericsson providing gear for roughly 56% of the footprint and China's Huawei serving the remaining 32%.
But the plan is to move to a dual-supplier network provided by Ericsson and Huawei as Vodafone embarks on the rollout of 5G technology, leaving no room for Nokia in the RAN, according to Scott Petty, Vodafone UK's chief technology officer.
The decision represents another European setback for the Finnish kit vendor after it was replaced by Ericsson in Deutsche Telekom's German RAN in late 2017.
It also comes despite a US-led backlash against Chinese vendors that some analysts have seen as a positive development for both Ericsson and Nokia.
Vodafone is determined to stick with Huawei as a RAN supplier, arguing a swap-out would cost "hundreds of millions" and "significantly" delay the UK's rollout of 5G technology.
US authorities say Huawei's equipment could include "backdoors" for Chinese spies, insisting there are close links between Huawei and Chinese state authorities.
Vodafone's assessment showed the risks of using Chinese equipment in the RAN are "manageable," said Petty, just weeks ahead of a UK government decision on whether to ban or restrict Huawei's activities.
The Vodafone move lends support to a view that Nokia has lagged Ericsson and Huawei on the development of RAN technology and is still playing catch-up as operators start to roll out their 5G networks.
Nokia's role as a RAN supplier to Three UK, signed when the smallest of the UK's network operators was building a 3G network, could also be under threat: Three announced a 5G RAN deal with Huawei last August, overlooking both Nokia and South Korea's Samsung, its supplier of 4G RAN technology.
Nokia also has a deal to provide RAN equipment in rural areas for EE, the mobile subsidiary of UK telecom incumbent BT.
Although it is losing out in Vodafone's RAN, Nokia will continue to supply optical equipment for use in Vodafone's transport network -- a part of its infrastructure where it has ruled out the use of Huawei as too risky.
Huawei is also barred from providing products for the core network, where Vodafone's main supplier is Cisco.
BT has imposed similar restrictions on the Chinese vendor. It began to remove Huawei products from EE's core after acquiring the mobile operator from Deutsche Telekom and Orange in 2016.
Hailed as a 5G leader by numerous European operators, Huawei is likely to have spent at least $15 billion on research and development last year -- more than Cisco, Ericsson and Nokia combined.
While Ericsson and Nokia spend similar amounts on R&D expenses, Nokia has a much broader portfolio of technologies. Under a strategy developed by current CEO Börje Ekholm, who took charge of the business at the start of 2017, Ericsson has become even more focused on the RAN.

Glen Nevis
Gateway to one of Scotland's iconic glens
This is the gateway to one of Scotland's most beautiful glens, watched over by Britain's highest peak. But you don't have to climb high or go far to enjoy some stunning forest, mountain and loch views.
Explore the full length of the glen by car or bike, or leave your vehicle at our Braveheart car park and follow the trails to explore the extensive remains of an Iron Age hill fort or to enjoy panoramic views across Lochaber and along the Great Glen.
Glen Nevis route card (PDF)
Cow Hill Circuit
A loop all the way round Cow Hill, the wee hill with big views. There's also an option to branch off the circuit to visit the top of the hill. Great views of lochs, Ben Nevis and the Mamores.
Mostly wide, firm path although some short sections can be narrow, loose or rough.
2¾ hours
The section of trail on the south of the hill is known as the 'Peat Track' – local crofters used it on their way back from cutting peat for fuel, and it has the best views of Ben Nevis. The trail is popular with mountain bikers as well as walkers: on blind corners, be aware there might be a biker just round the bend.
Dun Deardail Trail
Walk up through the forest to the open summit of this important iron age hill fort. Great views, enjoyed by people here for thousands of years.
A long, moderately steep climb. The path to the fort is steep and rough, with uneven stone steps.
6 ¼ miles / 10.0 km
This longer trail has a real sense of adventure. It'll take you through the forest and onto the open summit of Dun Deardail (pronounced "dun jerra-dil"), an Iron Age hill fort. People lived here in a compound that would have had several round huts, encircled by a rampart. See if you can spot the grassy remains of the outer wall. The views of the glen and Ben Nevis from here are spectacular on a clear day.
Glen Nevis is the starting point for the classic walk up Ben Nevis. It's a popular challenge, but don't be tempted to undertake this walk on a whim. It's a long, arduous day of hillwalking for which you'll need to pack food and drink, warm and waterproof clothing, and sturdy hillwalking boots. The summit can be freezing cold with near zero visibility even at the height of summer, so take a map and compass too. Find out more about the route at WalkHighlands.
There are plenty of public toilets and places to eat, drink and stay in Fort William and wider Glen Nevis.
The charges to park at Glen Nevis are:
Payment options: Contactless card or RingGo
£1 for up to 1 hour – all vehicles
£3 for all day – car (up to 7 seats)
£40 per car (up to 7 seats) and £100 per mini bus/coach
Available in advance by downloading the application form (Word) and emailing to the Regional Office.
Please read our Annual Pass terms and conditions (PDF) before applying.
Valid at the following sites: Loch Linnhe, Loch Oich, Glen Nevis (Braveheart), Aros Park – Mull.
From Fort William head along the Glen Nevis road for about ¾ mile. The Braveheart car park is on the right-hand side of the road.
PH33 6PF is a postcode on Belford Road. Continue up the Glen past this spot to find the car park.

Eight Irish pubs in one night — here's how to do an Irish pub crawl in San Diego
San Diego is positively spoiled with Irish pubs.
(Genaro Molina/Los Angeles Times)
It's actually possible to do an Irish pub crawl in San Diego; here's how
By Jackie Bryant
I have always loved the warmth and familiarity of drinking in an Irish pub. Though I happily call San Diego home these days, I'm originally from New York, where good pubs reminiscent of the Emerald Isle are truly a dime a dozen. I've also traveled to Ireland for … let's call it research on said pubs. All of which is to say: I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of the genre. I'm happy to report that despite being 5,197 miles away from Ireland, San Diego is positively spoiled with Irish pubs.
Because I care about my readers as much as I do, I decided to tackle eight bars on one night to see if it was possible to craft an informal Irish pub crawl. The verdict? It is, though it is admittedly a feat of physical endurance. Whether embarking on one's own crawl or just picking one place to party, here are eight Irish pubs to visit just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Sláinte!
Because any good pub crawl needs to include food (for safety reasons more than anything else), my first stop was The Field, which is right smack dab in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter. I like The Field for one specific reason: Rather than decorate with Irish-inspired décor, the family (which also owns Half Door Brewing Co.) actually brought artifacts from its ancestral town to decorate the cavernous bar. This is the pub where you want to eat. The Shepherd's Pie is the best in town, and the Whiskey Chicken Boxty with Jameson cream sauce, Irish cheddar and mushrooms is exactly the gut-busting base one will need to start an Irish pub crawl.
Blarney Stone
A few storefronts down from The Field, also on Fifth Avenue, is the Blarney Stone. Admittedly, this is kind of a strange bar — one that, on the surface, seems to exist for grizzled, hard-core drinkers only. But St. Patrick's Day is a day for imbibing, and true to form, the Blarney Stone seems to know its role. Order the Irish Trash Can, which is a terrifying but potent mix of gin, vodka, rum and Red Bull that interestingly does not include any Irish ingredients. "Oh, there's Blue Curaçao, too," the bartender told me. "You know, to make it blue." Drink up! (619-233-8519)
Formerly known as Dublin Square, The Dubliner has a lively regular crowd, frequent live Irish music, good pub grub and Kilkenny red ale on nitro, which, as far as I can tell, is the only place in San Diego to serve such a delightful beer in that manner. One of my favorite Irish pub fun facts is that there exists a company, called O'Sullivan Interiors, based in Ireland that essentially builds pub interiors from scratch and ships them to would-be Irish pubs all over the world. The Dubliner is one such pub — it was designed to be an exact replica of 300-year-old Tynan's Pub in Kilkenny, Ireland. It's hard to get more authentic than that.
Patrick's Gaslamp Pub
Known mainly for its live music roster, which includes a lot of jazz and blues and is offered every night of the week, Patrick's Gaslamp Pub is also one of the smaller and cozier bars in the neighborhood. The bar, which sits on the ground floor of the historic Keating Building, is one of the oldest in the Gaslamp. It opened in 1933, just after Prohibition lifted, and became the first place in the neighborhood that offered live music. More Irish in theme than anything else, this is the spot to drink and boogie down.
Stout Public House
Another favorite of mine, Stout Public House, which serves as off-duty headquarters for musicians playing at the many nearby music venues, is the real deal. While, owing to the giant Irish flag sitting on top of the door, it's clear this is an Irish pub, the Irish owners don't beat patrons over the head with it. Instead, it's an implied vibe, one that seems to say, "Get cozy. You will be comfortable here." Stout also serves the best pint of Guinness in town, with a bubble-less, thin head after being rested for the proper amount of time.
Half Door Brewing Co.
Easily one of the most underrated breweries in San Diego (which is saying something), Half Door Brewing Co. is owned by an Irish family and sits in a gorgeous, historic Victorian home in the East Village. In addition to serving the finest Irish stout in town, the Coleman Stout, there is also a full food menu boasting updated pub classics, including the ever-elusive but should-be-required-for-heavy-drinking Scotch egg. Pro tip: Take a look at the old black and white photographs adorning the walls. Those aren't history porn — they are actually photos of the family that owns, operates and brews all the beer for Half Door.
Ould Sod
One of San Diego's most beloved bars, Normal Heights' Ould Sod is heavy on craic — Irish slang that essentially means a rip-roaring good time. This is where one comes to get plastered. The bar originally opened in 1940 as Ryan's Bar, then changed to the Elbo Club in 1943. Since 1989, when it was bought by three friends, it has been lovingly known as Ould Sod. The bar runs straight back, railroad-style, and is flanked by a few cozy booths. A small stage up front regularly hosts live Irish music, and the back patio is the perfect place to take a breather.
Rosie O'Grady's
Across the street from Ould Sod, also on Adams Avenue, is Rosie O'Gradys, which was a beloved neighborhood Irish pub until it was bought by the Social Syndicate restaurant group in 2019. Admittedly, a lot of the charm has been erased. The pub is in the middle of a renovation, so it remains to be seen how that bears out, but thankfully its iconic neon sign, adorned with a shamrock, still burns bright. With friendly staff and a big bar, this is a good place to plunk down at the end of the night.

Rave on in peace brother
A motorcyclist who died following a smash in Reading town centre is "raving in peace", his family have said.
The brother and sister of tragic Robert Richards, known as Bobby, paid tribute to their "boisterous" brother, who died on Thursday, August 21, following a crash at the junction of Great Knollys Street and the IDR on Wednesday, August 13.
The 21-year-old worked at the Motest garage in Weldale Street, close to the scene of the crash. He was laid to rest at Easthampstead Cemetery in Nine Mile Ride on Tuesday this week.
Bobby's brother Paul Richards, 22, spoke about the mechanic.
"He was very boisterous," he said. "He would come in from work and lay on the music. He would make a cup of tea, go to his room for an hour and lay on the music.
"Then he would come downstairs and have a go at us.
"He was great fun."
Bobby was a big music fan. The Streets' Dry Your Eyes was played at his funeral, as was I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles – West Ham's team song.
But his big love was raves. Recently he attended Sanctuary in Wiltshire, a popular rave. Now Bobby's family are wearing red T-shirts with his picture on the front and Rave in Peace Bobby Richards on the back.
In the Richards' front garden a motorcycle Bobby was doing up is displayed with lots of balloons attached.
One of the balloons is shaped like a clown fish, a reference to how much Bobby loved fishing.
There are also numerous bouquets of flowers in the garden.
Paul said: "My head can accept what's happened but I do not think my heart will."
Bobby's other siblings were Alan, 31, Laura, 29, and Vikki, 20.
Mum-of-three Laura Haynes said she missed her brother so much.
She said: "He was lovely and so caring. He loved music, fishing and bikes.
"His favourite type of music was drum and bass. He was a very talented mechanic."
She explained how he arranged a cut-price MOT for his dad and was always happy to help people.
Phil Richards, Bobby's dad, added: "He loved his bike. I miss him like hell."
After his funeral Bobby's friends and family held a wake in his memory.
Crowds of friends have since visited the ex-St Crispin's School pupil's home in Beanoak Road, Wokingham.

I'm excited to finally share a little bit about my Bachelorette weekend in Nashville. On May 19th, I went into the weekend not knowing anything – my sister and two best friends planned the entire trip and made sure to keep all details a secret from me. The flight from Toronto was short and sweet, my sister and I took off to a mimosa toast on flight. When we got to our AirBnb home, we were at a loss for words! This beautiful and massive home all for us 12 gals with a backyard full of hanging tea lights and a fire pit – could it get any better? Although, Perry and I are not having a bridal party, being surrounded by 11 of my favorite people (with the exception of a few missing) meant the world to me. To share my gratitude, I prepped denim hats, a weekend kit and handwritten notes for all my girls. This is a nice touch if ever you have a bachelorette weekend!
The first day we enjoyed a boozy brunch at Amot, about a 5 minute walk from our home and went back to the house to set up, sit in the backyard and welcome everyone. Seeing everyones reactions and excitement about our home and being in Nashville was priceless. Our home was stocked with Wholefoods and the girls set up the perfect amount of decor. At night, in true Nashville style we were picked up by a red pick up truck for drinks and dinner at the Thompson hotel. We started on the rooftop for cocktails and made our way to the restaurant where we were in seafood heaven. After dinner, we partied on Broadway Street and spent the night dancing to live music at Tootsies. Best of all, we finished the night bull riding. Yes, you heard it right, bull riding.
I was so lucky to experience a weekend like the one that I did – it was truly memorable and special and I want to do it all over again. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we had two surprise country singers perform at our house!


I was wondering can this be used for considering someone such as myself for employment?
sorry, i should've updated you on this sooner but i've decided to make my own dress. thanks anyways, Kristen.
I am going to my first pow wow in september and i'm not sure what to wear. I'm thirteen, and not fully native, would it be appropriate to wear a simple dress? Buckskin maybe? Let me know of your ideas and i would love to buy one of yours. Thanks, Kristen.

I'd never heard of the "Wisconsin Idea" – "the principle that the university should improve people's lives beyond the classroom" – until Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker set out to dismantle it. Born in the Progressive era, the idea was to make the state education system a "laboratory of democracy." Walker has backed away from his earlier language to rewrite the university's mission by removing, "Basic to every purpose of the system is the search for truth" and deleting the phrases to "extend knowledge and its application beyond the boundaries of its campus," "serve and stimulate society," and "educate people and improve the human condition." Instead, he would have the university's mission be "to meet the state's work-force needs."
The creepily Stalinist language is gone, dismissed as "a drafting error." But the utilitarian message lingers.
We need educated workers. We also need poets.
