Fogbow

While we at the Fogbow were sleeping, the referee in the FLA Bar reciprocal discipline case recommended a two year suspension for GIL, going above and beyond the 18 months recommended by the bar, plus payment of the bar's costs (about $4k).

At least at federal sentencings (and I will assume NY state has similar rules), after the arguments of counsel, and immediately before sentence is pronounced, the defendant is afforded the right to make an allocution. In some instances, defendants are able to significantly affect their sentence, oft...

Just the usual IANAL questions. I know that he can appeal and from what I have read it goes something like this: NY Supreme Court (Trial court) > NY Supreme Court, Appellate Division (1st level) > NY Court of appeals (Final level). I know that federal issues can be appealed to the USSC, but in this...

I'm sure your letters are the Steamboat Willy of correspondence. I (and my heirs) would hold them until the copyright expired, and THEN publish them.

In preparation for a new posting? Or a vacation to Singapore?

Glad you made it through. My appendix ruptured about 15 years ago. I went into the hospital at about 5 am, after not being able to sleep much the prior night because of the pain. Right before going to the hospital, I called my sister - a doctor on the East Coast - who, when I described the pain and ...

Sad news all, Parvati reports on Quatloos that Gregg passed on Friday, May 3, 2024. As I believe some of you may be aware, Gregg passed away on Friday (May 3). In keeping with his wishes, there will be no funeral or service, but please consider donating to your local animal shelter. As per his siste...

I have a bank account with USAA, and I get all my insurance through them. This makes me happy. I can understand why a bank would not want to be caught up in an obvious grift. Me too, also. (For a financial institution, USAA's customer service is top notch.) I am glad USAA is not helping facilitate ...

Maryhill Museum. It is housed in a mansion built by Sam Hill (he of “Where in the Sam Hill is that?” fame). It houses an odd set of collections, including the personal effects of the last queen of Romania. The Stonehenge replica is 2/3rd size. It is pretty trippy.

republicans would like to cancel the entire twentieth century. And 19h as well... :mad: :mad: And probably the last quarter of the 18th. Instead of "MAGA," the Republicans' slogan should be " B ring B ack the A ncien R egime." Their mascot could be "BәBAR the Elephant"...

If you are a garden enthusiast, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens in Southeast Portland has a magnificent collection. It may be a bit early in the season, but it is quite impressive.

I said almost 20 years ago when I first started seeing regular cops glorify Marvel's The Punisher character that we were way too late for most forms of police reform. It's generationally seeded and self-perpetuating now. I hate being even a little bit right about this. DISCLAIMER: This is a #notall...

Papa Haydn is a sentimental favorite of mine. It has an incredible Viennese dessert case, and quite credible pastas. Plus, I could actually afford to eat there when I was a student. Because I lived on the other (downmarket) side of the Willamette River, I usually went to the location on SE Milwaukie...

While I do not live in Portland, I went to college there and return somewhat regularly. For stellar Northwest seafood, I would try Higgins, which is located at SW Broadway and Jefferson, not tool far from where you are staying. I also recommend the 10 Barrell brewpub experience.

Staying near the Art Museum and PSU. Also looking for suggestions to places that I MUST see. :batting: You must see Powell's City of Books - the finest used book store in the Western Hemisphere. Despite having been founded decades after the author's death, I am sure it was a model for that Borges s...

Yes. You can find them on OnlyFans.

Wellllll, my understanding is that the board (which includes toadies like Don Jr.) could grant him a waiver on the lockup. I agree that the board could grant a waiver of the lockup agreement, but I don’t think that eliminates the Rule 144 restrictions on sales by affiliates. Because Trump owns more...

This is a :pickle: The more money the rubes fans throw at $DJT, the less available for direct grifting. Does that mean it’s Schroedinger’s stock? In his left pocket or in his right pocket? Just took some drugs. This might not make sense. At this point, Trump cannot sell the stock (of which I unders...

That is what is referred to as "a cold open."

He's locked in until October. Thinking that Trump can unload all of his stock when the lock-up period expires ignores the SEC Rule 144 securities law restrictions imposed on persons who are considered "affiliates" of a company. Ordinarily, those who own more than 10% of a public company a...

FWIW the epicenter of the NYNJ earthquake was ver close to Bedminister.

An eclipse is a sign of God’s displeasure that tells us to repent? Celestial mechanics are pretty well understood; when and where an eclipse will occur can be predicted hundreds of years in advance. Perhaps God seeks our repentance on a very rigid schedule.

Commentators often reference the lock-up period (six months) as something might limit Trump's ability to sell his shares in TMTG, though some state that this can be waived. I am curious if JP Capitalist or anyone else knows whether the Rule 144 volume limitations might apply because Trump is an &quo...

At least in the US, about 85% of gynecologists are female.
