TORONTO — Days after denouncing a judge who deemed a provincial law violated charter rights, the Ontario government said it would invoke the Constitution in its legal challenge against the federal government's carbon pricing plan.
In a court document filed Friday, the province outlined its arguments to contest the planned federal charge for provinces that don't have their own carbon pricing regime, a measure scheduled to kick in next year.
Critics were quick to call the province's arguments to the court ironic in light of Premier Doug Ford's insistence that judges should not interfere with the actions of an elected government.
The premier made the comments repeatedly earlier this week after a Toronto judge ruled against the province in a separate case. In that matter, the judge struck down provincial legislation to reduce the size of Toronto's city council in the middle of an election campaign, saying it violated the constitutional rights of candidates and voters.
"Certainly I think they are asking for lots of creativity on the part of the judiciary in their lawsuit against the federal government," she said.
"We're properly using the tools in our toolkit," he told reporters.
Ford vowed during the spring election campaign to eliminate Ontario's cap-and-trade system and fight the federal carbon-pricing system that would replace it.

Home / Reviews / Mobile / Motorola Moto E 2nd edition now available for $150 with LTE, 3G-only option also coming soon
The new second gen Moto E is now live and you will be able to get it in the US with $149.99 with LTE. The 3G-only option will be sold for $119.99 and it will be available soon. This version is the GSM one, and not the Verizon locked one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBECQPGKuMk
This "new" device has a better processor, a Snapdragon 410 upgrade from the Snapdragon 200 (the 3G model will retain the slower processor though). The device has a 4.5" 540×960 display and is just 0.2" bigger than the previous model, whereas the RAM remains the same at 1GB with doubled internal storage to 8GB. The new battery is a bit bigger, a 2390mAh cell, and you will also get a secondary VGA camera with that pre-existing 5MP snapper.
This time you can customize your phone with bands that fit around the frame and you can buy them in bundles with pre-exiting colors: turquoise, raspberry and purple or yellow, blue and red. Each set will cost $19.99.

Motorola Moto E second edition is rolling out to more than 50 countries all over Asia, North America, Latin America and Europe.

ECJ: Input VAT deduction from sale of shares also possible without taxation option
The tax authorities and tax courts generally deny input VAT deduction from procured consulting services for sales of shares not subject to VAT. In its judgment of 8 November 2018, in the case C&D Foods Aquisitions ApS (C-502/17), the ECJ reminds us that this does not always apply. If the sale of shares serves the economic activity of the taxable person or expands it, an input VAT deduction can be considered. This principle should also apply to other asset transfers not subject to VAT, e.g. supplies of real estate.
Transfer of a going concern even where business premises are rented from third party
With a further ruling, the Federal Fiscal Court has clarified its case law on the transfer of a going concern. In the disputed case, only the inventory was sold. The business premises were not included. The Federal Fiscal Court was required to deal with the question of whether the isolated sale of the inventory constituted the transfer of a going concern, and was therefore outside the scope of VAT.
Federal Fiscal Court confirms: single supply must be subject to an uniform VAT rate
The Federal Fiscal Court confirms the ECJ's decision in the legal case Stadium Amsterdam, according to which a partial application of a reduced VAT rate in the case of a single supply is found to be out of the question.
Federal Ministry of Finance extends transitional phase for supplies via stocks until the end of 2019
The Federal Ministry of Finance has extended the transitional phase for the VAT treatment of supplies via stocks until 31.12.2019. Hence, companies affected by this change have gained further time and presumably will only have to deal with this issue as 2020 approaches. Quick Fixes containing an EU-wide simplification rule for consignment stocks will then be implemented.
German Federal Fiscal Court holds 6% interest rate to be unconstitutional as from 2012
The 8th Senate of the German Federal Fiscal Court has joined the 9th Senate. It also voiced serious doubts that the interest rate of 6% p.a. in sec 238 para 1 of the German General Fiscal Code is constitutional. According to the 8th Senate, this has even applied since (November) 2012. The German Federal Constitutional Court plans to decide on this question before the end of the year. Until then, taxpayers should appeal against all interest assessments and apply for suspension of enforcement.
No 2nd class taxable person – holding companies entitled to input VAT deduction
With its judgement of 17 October 2018 in the Ryanair case, the ECJ confirmed that holding companies do not play a special role in VAT law. The only signifi-cant factor is whether they are taxable persons within the scope of the VAT Directive. The tax authorities should now rethink. The mere denial of the right to deduct input VAT with reference to the holding structure is not permitted. However, holding companies should also assess their VAT status if they want to avoid expensive surprises.
Input VAT deduction from general costs
On 18 October 2018, the ECJ ruled in the Volkswagen Financial Services Case. It concerned the deduction of input VAT from company overheads (e.g. IT infrastructure, offices and office supplies) with exempt and taxable output supplies. The taxable person paid general costs using funds from exempt output supplies. However, this was found not to prevent the formation of a direct link with the taxable activity. The ECJ therefore, once again, confirms that the direct connection between input supplies and taxable output supplies must be viewed broadly.

EU Finance Ministers reach agreement on package of VAT measures
On 02.10.2018, the EU Finance Ministers in the ECOFIN reached a decision on a number of measures in the field of VAT legislation. The ECOFIN agreed on the so-called "quick fixes" proposed by the EU Commission last year and these shall apply as of 01.01.2020 (cf. KMLZ Newsletter 32/2017). Furthermore, the Council allowed, until 30.06.2022, to apply temporarily the generalised reverse charge regime. In the future, member states will be permitted to apply a reduced VAT rate or a zero rate to electronic publications. The agreed measures to strengthen administrative cooperation between member states shall apply as of 01.01.2020.
Maritime transport and aviation transactions: Federal Ministry of Finance limits zero-rating
The Federal Ministry of Finance limits the scope of application for supplies in maritime transport and aviation (letter of 05.09.2018). The transactions will be zero-rated, if the watercraft or aircraft can already be clearly and unambiguously identified at the time of the supply. Zero-rating can also be applied to supplies carried out at the earlier stage of the commercial chain where the supplier is able to prove the final purpose of the supply destined for a tax-advantaged watercraft or aircraft, by means of accounting and other documentary evidence. The tax benefits only apply to existing watercraft or aircraft.

Indian officials raid Vodafone in corruption probe
Indian officials have raided Vodafone's offices in Delhi and Mumbai as part of a multibillion-pound corruption investigation in one of the telecoms giant's most important markets.

By Katherine Rushton, Media, Telecoms and Technology Editor
2:42PM GMT 21 Nov 2011
The probe, by India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), marks a fresh blow to Vodafone's operations in the country, where it is already embroiled in a Supreme Court battle over a $2.5bn (£1.5bn) tax bill it claims it shouldn't have to pay.
The CBI spent seven hours searching Vodafone's offices on Saturday, as part of a widening investigation into three mobile phone operators and two government officials over allegations of wrongdoing relating to the 2001 auction of second generation spectrum.
The offices of Bharti Airtel, Vodafone's biggest competitor in India, Shyamal Ghosh, a former official in the Indian Department of Telecommunications, and JR Gupta, a former director at state-owned telecoms company Bharat Sanchar Niga, were raided at the same time.
According to the CBI, alleged irregularities cost the Indian tax payer around 5.1bn rupees (£4.4bn) between 2001 and 2007.Both Vodafone and Bharti Airtel have denied any wrongdoing.
A Vodafone spokesman said: "All our documents are in complete compliance with the governing laws and regulations. Vodafone India is completely co-operating with the officials and will provide them all the required details as part of their checks."

Vodafone buys Essar out of Indian joint venture for $5.46bn
The company added today: "The historical events under scrutiny by the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation pre-date Vodafone's acquisition, from Hutchison Whampoa, of our interests in India. We are cooperating fully with the Indian authorities and will provide them with the information available to us."
Vodafone is the biggest mobile operator in India, but has had a difficult history there since it launched in the rapidly growing market in 2007.
It entered India by buying a 67pc stake in Hutchison Essar, the steel, energy and communications conglomerate then owned by Hutchison Whampoa, for $10.7bn.
However, Vodafone repeatedly clashed with the Ruia family which controls Essar, claiming it was acting in the interests of the wider Essar group rather than their joint venture. They eventually severed ties in July when Vodafone bought Essar out of the joint venture for $5.46bn.
But the deal did not draw a line under Vodafone's problems. It is still battling the Indian government over a $2.5bn tax bill and as much again in penalties, relating to the 2007 deal. Vodafone claims the tax bill has been applied retrospectively, and that it should not have been taxed because the deal was done overseas.
The telecoms giant has said many times that it may float its Indian arm next year, although Vittorio Colao, chief executive, has warned that it needs "regulatory clarity" before it invests further in the country.
Shares in the group fell 2.45p to 168.35p in morning trading.

Recently opened go karting center K1Speed, along with Dick's MacKenzie Ford are working with McAllister, a local periodontist, to help bring awareness to the challenges of Diabetes and to support fundraising efforts for research to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
The Rhom Innovations prepared K1Speed sponsored MacKenzie Ford Mustang is currently on display at the World of Speed Museum in Wilsonville. McAllister will be hosting a JDRF fundraiser and "gallery speaker tour" of the current Mustang exhibition at 2pm on January 4th at the museum. The World of Speed features current and historic race cars, boats, and motorcycles that tell the story of motorsports culture. Through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities, the museum offers visitors a behind-the-scenes view of the racing world. The museum encompasses many aspects of motorsports, including drag racing, road racing, land-speed racing, motorcycle racing, open-wheel cars, NASCAR, and hydroplanes.
McAllister won the 2019 West Coast TA2 Championship by a slim 3-point margin over Anthony Honeywell of Oklahoma by winning the recent final race of the season at Circuit of the America (COTA). The win at the famous Formula 1 track in Texas was his fourth of the season. Other wins came at Portland International Raceways, Thunderhill and Laguna Seca. The Trans Am TA2 class is reminiscent of the Trans Am Racing pony car wars of the late 60s where Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers battled for supremacy. The current series showcases close competition with these same three makes racing against each other with their 500 plus horsepower engines reaching top speeds of over 170mph and G forces exceeding 2Gs.
The recently opened K1 Speed go kart facility allows anyone 48 inches and taller to race their electric go karts. The facility also has games and food to support company and family functions to test your racing skills. When racers are ready to take on the local race track, Portland International Raceways, ProDrive is the driving school of choice for improving your skills or getting your competition license.
Dick's MacKenzie Ford has been a long time Hillsboro business that has been involved in numerous community events and the local efforts with McAllister tie in nicely with Ford's nationwide support of the JDRF. When it comes to Mustangs, MacKenzie Ford is the place to go!

End of an era for Eidsvold Station
MOVING ON: Sally and Anthony Coates saying goodbye to Eidsvold Station, the property they've lived at for decades. Tobi Loftus
by Tobi Loftus
Tobi Loftus Journalist
Tobi graduated from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) with a Bachelor of Journalism in 2015. From there he began his career at the Central and North Burnett Times in Mundubbera, before moving to the South Burnett Times in Kingaroy in 2017. He joined The Chronicle's news team in January 2018.
MORE THAN 110 years of history has come to an end, with the Joyce/Coates family about to pack up and leave Eidsvold Station for the last time.
Anthony and Sally Coates, who have owned the property since the early 1970s, said they would miss the historic station.
"With the progression of time things always change," Anthony said.
"They need to change often, as there are different approaches to things.
"Sometimes we queried it, but we made the decision."
The station, which was bought by relations of Anthony in 1905, was passed on to him in the 1970s by his uncle Barney.
"I came here in 62 when Barney was still very much involved," Anthony said.
"Barney saw me developing the place and he was very much in charge until the mid-70s."
In the time Anthony and Sally have lived at the station, Prince Charles stayed with them twice.
"When Prince Charles was at school in Geelong, he thought it would be good to visit an outback Queensland property to get another feel of what would be his future kingdom and responsibility," Anthony said.
"At that stage it was kept very low key here and it wasn't promoted until afterwards.
"Prince Charles really appreciated being able to come here and relax and he stayed here four days.
"He and Mrs Joyce got on really well together, so much so that ever since he visited here the first time, Mr and Mrs Joyce got personally written Christmas cards every year.
Prince Charles visited the property again in 1974.
"No one was allowed inside the front grid," Anthony said.
"No one knew what was going on, he could get out and feel free without having to worry about every word he said."
The station, and other properties owned by Anthony and Sally, have been bought by South Burnett couple Rick and Alice Greenup.
"The succession was meant to come to a head and wind up five years ago," Anthony said.
"But because of floods and poor cattle prices, we agreed to extend it out to give them more time to chew on the big move they've made.
"They made a bit commitment, for a young couple."
Rick said he and Alice would miss Anthony and Sally, though they would remain in contact.
"There will be plenty of phone calls back and forward, Anthony doesn't know it yet, but there will be," Mr Greenup said.
"I'd like to thank them for entrusting us to something that is so dear to them, the station and the other three properties as well, it's the whole package.
"We're going to continue and try to build on what Anthony and Barney Joyce have done.
"It's exciting to have a hold on to those santa gertrudis cattle and do our thing with them."
Though it is a bitter-sweet ending for Anthony and Sally.
"Rick and Alice have left an open invitation that we can come and visit," Anthony said. "It's the breaking of a chain of a long historical association.
"It's not the first it's happened too and won't be the last.
"It's going to be hard to let go, because although Barney died 33 years ago, in my dreams or thoughts I refer to him for advice.
"The saddest part will be drive over that grid to go away. It will seem like the last time, but we'll come back to visit hopefully."
Farewell Anthony and Sally at the Eidsvold Showgrounds on November 11 from 6pm.

Track success at Rio 2016 smooths over British cycling's fractious four years
Early Olympic gold medals bring relief after disputes over selection, poor form and failure on the road
Helen Pidd in Rio de Janeiro
Sun 14 Aug 2016 05.00 EDT Last modified on Wed 21 Feb 2018 12.47 EST

After two Olympics of being Team GB's most reliable source of gold medals, the cyclists did not have the most sparkling start here.
First, Geraint Thomas crashed on the final descent of the men's race last Saturday, denying the British quintet their best medal chance, with Chris Froome slightly off the pace. Lizzie Armitstead came in fifth the next day after a torrid runup trying to convince the world that she was not a doper but was just a bit disorganised. Forty-eight hours later, Emma Pooley's comeback did not go to plan when she rolled over the wet line 14th in the individual time trial, eight years after claiming silver in Beijing.
Britain's women surge to gold in Olympic cycling team pursuit
So when Froome won a bronze in the rain-soaked men's event, there were sighs of relief among British Cycling's contingent. At least they had come away with some metal, even if the three‑time Tour de France winner could not surpass the third place he won in London, behind Germany's Tony Martin and Bradley Wiggins.
However, British Cycling has always put more effort into winning indoors than outdoors. There are more medals available and it is much easier to control the variables in a velodrome. There are no idiot motorbikes to stop suddenly and crash into, no drunk fans to punch out of the way, next to no risk that a puncture or simple slipped chain will sabotage a solo breakaway. On the track you do not have to worry about freak hailstorms or stray dogs. If your rider is the strongest and is on the best bike with the best kit, you can win. At least that is what British Cycling always hopes.
Britain's track cyclists have not performed brilliantly in the four years since London, particularly the men. At the world championships in March the team sprint trio of Jason Kenny, Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner finished sixth. Their female counterparts, Jess Varnish and Becky James, went only one better, which meant they would not be competing here, having been given fewer chances to race and accrue the necessary qualification points.
That performance revealed cracks in British Cycling that threatened to open up a sinkhole-sized problem in what was once known as the medal factory. After failing to qualify for the Olympics Varnish – and, to a lesser extent, James – spoke out. "I feel sick," Varnish said. "We have been basically playing catch‑up through bad decisions and bad luck. How many more times can I keep putting my life on hold, making these choices for my career, if it's not going to pay off, through no fault of our own?"
Jason Kenny and Callum Skinner to battle for individual sprint cycling gold
She accused British Cycling of putting less experienced sprinters into competitions where Olympic qualification points were up for grabs. "It should not be their job," she said. "To have to qualify for the Olympic Games, it should not be a development programme. It should be A team, A team, A team. It's not happened. This is through absolutely no fault of our own.
"We're fifth in the world, we've beaten so many of the teams, this is the best we've ever competed and we're not going to the Olympics."
Shortly afterwards, her contract with British Cycling was not renewed. After brooding for a while, Varnish decided to speak out. After losing her funded place on the podium programme she told the Daily Mail that British Cycling's technical director, Shane Sutton, was sexist.
He denies it, but the 25-year-old sprinter insists Sutton told her to pack in cycling and "go and have a baby" instead. Her allegations kicked off a domino run of claims against Sutton, including, most damningly, that he called the para-athletes "gimps and wobblies" and referred to a non-white member of the podium programme as a "dirty terrorist".
Sutton resigned but last week said he was confident that an independent review would totally exonerate him. Whatever the outcome, he has been forced to watch these Games from his Manchester home rather than trackside, where he had stood for 14 years, inspiring and terrifying the national squad in equal measure.
Before the Games began, some wondered whether Sutton's absence would lead to a drop in performance. The first two days of track competition suggested not. First, the men's team sprint trio, not thought to be big Sutton fans, clinched gold, followed by another for the team pursuit quartet of Sir Bradley Wiggins (an outspoken Suttonite), Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Owain Doull.
On Saturday morning Becky James breezed through her qualification round in the madison. Then the team pursuit foursome of Laura Trott, Elinor Barker, Joanna Rowsell-Shand and Katie Archibald broke the world record for the fifth successive time, putting them into to the final. On this evidence, British Cycling looks firmly back on track.

Hope you are feeling better Fr. Frank! Galicia area looks beautiful – the fence of wooden crosses is especially moving. Thanks for carrying our own crosses all the way to the shrine of the Cruz de Ferro.
That fence is very humbling…. heal and be a little kind to yourself… Buen dia.
We pray this day finds you rested and in improved health. Thank you for carrying our prayer requests with you on your journey and lifting them up in Mass. Praying for your continued safety & well-being.
Hi Fr. Frank. Thank you again for the inspiring message and photos. We think of you often and pray for your safety. Also pray that you are lifted up through your wonderful journey. Looking forward to your return.
It was just today that I came upon your Camino postings. I will read them all, for the Camino seems to be an addiction. Two years ago today my daughter and I were one day away from arriving in Santiago on my 77th BD, Oct. 27, 2012, after 37 days of non-stop walking. Who is Fr. Frank? What parish in CHI?
See the next comment for your response.
Fr. Frank Latzko is the pastor of St. Teresa of Avila Parish at Armitage and Sheffield in Chicago, IL. He is a holy man, although he would likely dismiss that, as have many of the holy men who have pastored this parish of 125 years. He has deep faith and wide vision, a heart that is scarred but remains open, a curious mind and a poetic soul. And most importantly, he loves God — to the moon and back — and has a way of stirring up the hearts of others to do the same.
Fr. Frank, a blessing on your feet.
I hope that when you return, there will be a time for you to share with the parish what all this walking means for you and for all of us. There's a popular book in France, and now here in translation, about how walking changes us. (Frederic Gros, Philosophy of Walking) and he has a section on pilgrimage.
I hope. also, that the parish will devise a way of sharing a walk from Synod on the Family, Part 1, to Part 2.
My "send" should have been all about you, sending the healing thoughts of all who follow your journey. Can't fix the shin splints, but hoping time will mend them.
Heya Frank! For some reason I was browsing through Youtube and discovered that the Notre Dame Glee Club journeyed the Camino in what appears to have been the summer of 2013. At the start of the journey, and at other locations along the way, they paused to sing either Ave Maria, or their Victory March, or a Spanish folk song in churches, in refectories and out in the open. I thought you might enjoy these video recordings and recognize their locations from your own journey.
Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Have a great walk this day!
oops. Here's one more. An impromptu concert given at the cathedral in Leon, featuring a clip from their performance of a gospel spiritual in a most unique setting. Enjoy!
Just spent the last 2 hours binge reading all your posts and the comments. Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections and the beautiful photos. I've missed your homilies. Reading your posts has helped fill in the gap.
You are so on target about needing to find a way to bridge the disconnect experienced by the youth I see with much sadness in my neice's and nephews.
My favorite photos were of the beautiful stained glass windows. Looking forward to the time coming soon when beautiful stained glass windows of our church will draw people inside to experience church in a new way.

Hannah Hunt
I've been thinking a lot about writing a "Best Albums and Songs of 2014" list as a blog post, which I will invariably have to make because it would be a tragedy to you as the internet to not hear what a 24-year-old music snob considers the best few minutes of instruments and voices to be released this year, and also because this was actually a year in which two of my favorite musicians of all time put out highly-anticipated new albums that both gave me a lump in my throat upon listening. However, before talking about the good, I guess you have to talk about the other stuff, right?
I didn't make a "Best Albums of 2013" blog post last year, but if I did, I'm sure Modern Vampires Of the City would be on it. MVOTC is an album that came out last year by a band called Vampire Weekend that has probably been the butt off too many "so-called" hipster jokes (but also one I personally never wrote about, so I guess not every hipster joke, right?). It was well-received in the indie music circles that obsess over 4-piece scruffy white dude bands and way-too-highly paid music critics who work for Rolling Stone and SPIN alike. It was a slightly different sound for Vampire Weekend and I know that there's some technical term that escapes me for the way the audio engineer mixed the tracks, but suffice it to say that it sounded more "recorded" and "new age". It still had bouncy melodies and tribal drums and nonsense lyrics that were fun to guess like Vampire Weekend's older 2 albums and it ended up as a huge spring-to-summer playlist pick of 2013.
I guess it was a small bit personal, too.
I remember that you bought the album before I did, since you were always reliable at doing so. My memories are a little shaky, but I would almost go so far as to say that I think you preordered it on vinyl, as that was a habit that only solidified our chemistry, because we both valued tangible old-school technology and actually paying for music we loved. Living in Nashville at the time gave us this automatic veil of respect for the art of an album that we carried like a banner everywhere we went, and liner notes were our bibles. "Music City" is a nickname we hate but love in its simple perfection, because it fit our favorite thing to talk about. This unbridled passion for talented artists and very lifeblood of discussing new songs we heard on the local radio station that were about to blow up or how every band was trying to be the Lumineers in 2013 (which sucked) or how the Grammys were a joke yet somewhat important fueled our conversations at Tennessee coffeehouses and off-the-highway dive bars, which were, coincidentally, also full of other critics and songwriters drinking and discussing and karaoke-ing, too.
Before I purchased Modern Vampires Of The City, a good friend of ours had told me that she'd nearly been moved to tears upon the first listen, which wasn't an uncommon compliment in our musically-saavy community, but still stuck out in my mind. A few days later, you had listened to the whole album one night (with a glass of whiskey nearby and the candle I convinced you to buy at Target burning) and told me all about it over the phone in a tone of almost-reverence. It may not have been the most important album your well-tuned ears had heard, but you convinced me that I needed to listen to it because it was really something.
And so, I did listen to it in your car the next day. We were driving around Interstate 440 with multiple people in the backseat- naturally, I was riding shotgun, as my neediness was in full swing- and Modern Vampires Of The City was playing as our background music, which isn't terrible, but, as we both agreed, isn't ideal for the first listen of an album when you're trying to analyze it and see if it stands out. Oddly enough, you kept skipping Track 6 with little explanation, just mentioning that neither you nor I was "ready" for it. About an hour or so later, we'd dropped off our caravan of riders and were alone the car. You looked at me with a seriousness that felt odd for a midday drive, and then you skipped to Track 6 with the dashboard controls.
"It's time. You ready?"
(Sidenote: This was always something I admired about you: how you let things speak for themselves. I always feel the need to upsell my favorite things to people before letting them dive in, as if they require rationalization, but you were convinced great things held their own weight. I would have given a speech on why Track 6 would change your life, but you just pressed play with a confidence and the tiniest hint of a "you'll-thank-me" smirk.)
It began. We listened to 3 minutes and 58 seconds of indie-music-somewhat-love-song bliss in full with the sun shining through the car windows, like we were scoring the soundtrack our own poorly-directed episode of Girls or a dollar-store imitation of Garden State. It was my first listen to this particular track but it sure-as-hell hit me. This was so different for this band we'd both loved- it sounded so personal. With the speakers up high and Ezra Koenig's voice pleading with me about being afraid of growing older and trust and time and money, I felt very 23 and just a little emotional. Suddenly, at the 2:39 mark, the song just changed oh-so-slightly and that was it- I was hooked. I wanted this song in my back pocket at all times and I wanted to hear it again and I wanted to talk about it, but also not talk about it right away as to not ruin the magic or the moment.
You sighed pretty heavily as it faded out and simply said, "…and that's Hannah Hurt" after the song finished playing, and we drove around some more without speaking for a few minutes, as if it was still all sinking in. I'm sure eventually we changed the conversation to Instagram or other records out that week or where we wanted to eat that night, but I remember that 3 minute and 58 second nothing-but-music moment as clear as day. Oddly enough, your original song title was actually incorrect. The song's name is actually "Hannah Hunt" but your substitution of "Hurt" was an interesting quirk and a point that I'd try to write into every later story of us I told, but could never do successfully, as if it was supposed to be foreshadowing or mean something deeper.
It didn't.
Regardless, "Hannah Hunt" (/Hurt) would stay with me heavily for several months, whether I wanted it to or not. It would be a song that I would turn to if I wanted to think about you when you were gone, a song that I'd play if I wanted to cheaply exploit my own emotions, and a song that I'd listen to on repeat on both good and bad days. Every time I heard it I went bittersweetly back to your car and that lazy afternoon and listening to something beautiful and sad that I loved all at the same time, with someone I loved at the same time who was a little sad and beautiful, too.
I heard it again last week and it wasn't the same. I was driving home from work on a particularly windy Austin road and my shuffle-mode iPod decided to grace me with the same quiet beginning and light driving piano I know oh-so-well. I instantly remembered that day over a year ago in a different state and I remembered sitting shotgun in your car and I remembered seeing your face and your haircut I loved that you got after we'd met, but it wasn't overpowering. It was simply a song that brought something back and though my heart still swelled in my chest at the 2:39 mark, I was okay after it ended. All the hard stuff about reliving the past and relationships ending and moving on and moving away wasn't attached to it anymore. It was just track 6 on Modern Vampires Of The City, a track I liked, a track I could singalong to and talk about, and most of all, a track that told a story and let a memory exist again for 3 minutes and 58 seconds peacefully. You know, without hurting.
My eventual "Best Songs of 2014" List is full of singer-songwriters and high-rated indie releases that I'll claim took the most out of me these 12 months and captured my attention and ears and heart, but I'm sure that tucked into the mixtape of songs that really stuck with me this year, "Hannah Hunt" will exist, as it has for over a year now.
And, maybe just as a personal gesture, I'll go for a drive with it playing and think about sunshine on dashboards and breathe in every note, because I can, and because things are okay. Time changes your favorite things but also heals them.
Plus, when you really think about it, my car speakers are just as loud, there's a lot of road ahead, and the album doesn't stop after Track 6.

Signs That You May Have Been in Show Choir At Some Point
You still get the strange urge to use jazz hands when making a point, or you just turn these jazz hands into a large gesture that in no way looks natural, but you try and play it off as such
You are critical of any work that claims to be musical and give your own running commentary of American Idol and The Voice auditions (bonus points if you have auditioned for any of those shows and still share your own 'professional' opinion on the experience)
You are aware that you are being a little too judgmental at the Karaoke Bar, but why would someone try to follow your Martina McBride, Josh Groban, Aretha Franklin, or Celine Dion with a weak Red Hot Chili Peppers performance? I mean, come ON.
You either-
Want to strangle anyone who brings up Glee because it's not realistic and also your choir department was way more talented and also WHY ALL THE ACAPELLA and no one looks that old in high school and no, Lea Michele, just stop with those expressions please.
Want to hug anyone who brings up Glee because you have all the soundtracks and just know that life could be a musical, like, if we all just tried harder!!!!
Say that Glee is lame or you have no opinion on it but secretly despise everyone on that show for getting more famous than you, because, did ANYONE in that tv show pull off 4 years of intense diaphragm exercises and singer's posture and writing I.P.A. and memorizing minor scales? Didn't think so.
You harmonize…with everything from commercial theme songs to the worst Miley Cyrus remix on the radio, without realizing it and to the chagrin of people who are also trying to sing along, making you look like a know-it-all or show-off
Your ear has been exposed to so many different kinds of music or languages and styles to sing in, that you find it hard to pin down just exactly what genres you like
There are far too many embarrassing photos and videos of you singing that exist, but you also know that it's a rite of passage to wear a stupid bow tie or itchy unflattering dress in order to rise to the top of the vocal elite
You remember lyrics but forget what song they go to, or you spend an afternoon singing a melody into the Shazam app on your phone because you remember it, but not the words
You've ever considered/thought/muttered/bragged about the fact that you or someone you know might have 'perfect pitch'
You primarily still count to 8
You have 5+ different remedies for sore throats or losing your voice, and they may involve everything from lemon juice to honey to whiskey to echinacea- bonus points for a hot toddy with all of them- to taking a 'vocal rest' or gargling with homemade salt water
You get annoyed when a crowd of people can't clap correctly and on the beat. Who are these amateurs?
You have an uncommon knack for getting into tights, lipstick and false eyelashes in 3 minutes flat- and it's a skill that you'll keep with you and will come in handy more often than you think
No matter your gender, there's probably still glitter on your body from some show outfit that you can't get off
There is a chance that you may still describe things as needing to be "more legato" or "syncopated" or "dissonant" and that's not strange at all
You get choked up during that song – you know the song- when you go see a musical, and there's nothing you can do about it
You probably weren't the most popular in high school, but that means you have time to grow into your quirks now and appreciate the way singing shaped you into the perfect weirdo you always needed to be
You still can't pass a stage or see someone else in the spotlight without thinking, even if in the tiniest part of your soul, "What if that was me up there instead?"
Even if you can't pinpoint why, you'll always be sentimental for music and the community that it brings, and even if you never sing in any sort of choir setting again, hey, at least you'll always make great playlists

Get Back Up.
You will have days when no matter how you try and style it and pin it back, your hair gets caught in your lipgloss and makes you perform some weird facial acrobatics to get it out and embarrasses you in public in the process. You'll recover, and in a few weeks you'll let the woman with the fantastic nail art at the Sephora counter talk you into to a lipstain that lasts all day, and when its constant color really does stay on, you'll pass this knowledge on to your girlfriends like it's no big thing, making you the wisest of all at the next Girls' Night.
You will have days when you don't want to answer your phone, even if it's a text or a call from someone you love or an adorable Snapchat of a puppy, just because technology has made you think of instant connection as too impersonal, or you're too caught up in your own head to answer or respond. It'll pass, and you'll respond to each hello and request with the gusto of the 7th grade girl with a pink Motorola Razr cell phone that you used to be, and with your faith in communication restored.
You will have days that are measured in cups of coffee and productivity pep talks, and no matter how much you focus and slam down both, you won't get anything done. You won't organize your room, you won't answer those job emails, you won't get that rattle in your car fixed, and you won't even make a dent on your to-do list. You'll be distracted by nostalgia, by negativity, or by simply beating yourself up over lack of progress. You will fight through these time-stealers and get back to accomplishing things like you were before.
You will have days where you say sorry to everything. Days where you apologize to your dog for not taking him on a walk because it's raining, apologize to the person behind you in line at the cash register because it took you more than 5 seconds to find that quarter you needed in your purse, or send a Facebook message to an estranged friend from elementary school to apologize for that one thing you said to them on the playground in '94 that you haven't been able to shake for years. You will take a deep breath, reevaluate, and realize that although it is good to be forgiving, you are not responsible for every circumstance in life.
You will have days where you need to eat everything in sight. You will shove your shame aside in drivethrus, asking for 2 drinks even though you're eating alone so that the person working the window thinks the amount of food is for more than 1 person. You will challenge yourself to your own taco-eating contest with the intention of beating your previous college-hangover record. You will get every mix-in possible at the ice cream parlor and you will tackle a whole pizza in one sitting. Whether you're eating for feelings or for fun, you'll slow down and look at what you're consuming again. You'll remember that balance is key, and even though cheese-on-everything is a personal manta of yours, throwing in something leafy and green is important, too.
You will have days when you can't sleep because you're:
worried that he hasn't texted you yet
worried about when you'll start getting wrinkles
worried that space and the universe is huge and we haven't even scratched the surface of what is out there
nervous that you heard something go bump in the night
embarrassed that you're still afraid of monsters in your twenties
still singing that annoying Luke Bryan or One Direction song you swore you'd never like but now that it's stuck in your head, you are warming up to it
freaking out over what tomorrow's schedule holds and if you can back out of all your commitments at the last second
caffeine-fueled for no good reason
scrolling through your phone endlessly and cursing everyone's instagrams that look like they're leading a fun-filled life, while you're already in bed with your zit cream on and retainer in
too busy daydreaming about your fake pinterest house while stuck laying in a cheap goodwill or ikea bedframe
suddenly hungry but stuck with an empty fridge
unsure about your own talents
already fearing the alarm clock in the morning
You will find rest. It might take a few days, months, naps, or medication to get you back to sleeping right, but sleeping is so important, and if you'll put some effort behind it, you'll be a functional, healthy human again.
You will have days where it is hard to know where to start in expressing your feelings, hard to share the hurt that's been done to you, and hard to feel like there is a new direction for you to travel. But, even if if is not today or not in this exact place, you will recover. You will be you again, and you will not let anyone else write the next chapter to your story but your own self.
It is not the days that defeat you, but what you do to defeat them and get back up.

I would like to thanks everyone for their support, but I feel the Pure Bedlam clan is now over.
We have been going since Bad Company 2, before that we were the Tards & have a lot of fun along the way but recently for me anyway it has become one headache after another.
I would like to make a special thanks to both of my admins - Pure & Mwolf, without their support Pure Bedlam wouldn't be the success it was.
In the coming weeks the Pure Bedlam clan may open up under a different name, we will still have the same rules ect, but a different name and possible forum and website.
There is still the issue of the servers & who will control them, I know people have donated since we took out the new lease, if you aren't happy enough to wait a week or two until we see how this plays out i will happily reimburse you of any funds.
For the time being Teamspeak and the servers will stay online with the current admins.
Again thanks very much to everyone it really has been a blast.
