Trial by Declaration
Trial by Declaration: "ou do not need to say anything under 'STATEMENT OF FACTS' other than, 'I stand by my plea of not guilty.' This is not being dishonest; you are innocent until you are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If the officer fails to submit his/her paperwork, the judge will have to dismiss your case and refund your bail."

Traffic tickets
ut LPF has a point too...over-enforcement of the roads for money, not for correcting serious safety risks, makes people live in fear while going about their business and is close to police state activity. if you feel selective enforcement or martinet activity has ensnared you, use the legitimate legal avenues to contest the ticket.
In California, where I used to live, you can request "trial by written declaration." The key here is that a cop doesn't get paid to fill out his statement for the written trial like he does to appear in court. So TBWD was a way to all but ensure the cop wouldn't "appear in court" with a statement, and your chances of being the only side testifying was high.
In the legal system, you don't get _anything_ you don't ask for. Use the system, that's what it's there for!

Funeral Speech (Eulogy) Poems - Presentation Helper Magazine Forum
Funeral Speech (Eulogy) Poems - Presentation Helper Magazine Forum
This is a very powerful poem W H Auden
From The Twelve Songs
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a a juicy bone,
Silance the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policeman wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I though that love would last for ever : I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now : put out ever one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

The Wishing Wealth General Market Index (GMI)
This market just makes you want to scream, doesn’t it? Now you know why I stay out of sick markets and sold my MHS days ago. Here is a stock that broke to a new all-time high at the end of March and held up for a few weeks. It seemed like a good “defensive” stock, being in the management of prescription drug programs. So what happened today? It announces quarterly earnings today up 27% but apparently did not boost its profit outlook for the rest of the year. So what does it do? It declines today 9.12%! This is the type of action one gets in a market that is in a downtrend with few stocks successfully holding new high ground.
Aren’t you tired of fighting this market? I think it is time for us to work on a general market index that summarizes the indicators I use to monitor the general market trend. Keep in mind that I am a chicken and have successfully dodged the 98 bear, the 2000-2002 bear and most of the present decline. I put together the Wishing Wealth General Market Index above (click on it to enlarge). It counts the following elements:
1. Wishing Wealth 10 Day Successful New High Index Greater than 100. I follow a “universe” of almost 4,000 actively traded stocks that were $5 or over several months ago. I use TC2005 to count the number of these 4000 stocks that hit a new 52 week high 10 days ago and closed today higher than they closed 10 days ago when they made their highs. In a rising market, traders have the confidence to let strong stocks climb, so they have a successive number of new highs. In a bad market, anxious traders take profits quickly and stocks tend to gyrate. I have only been computing this index since last March, when I had a count of 106. I am suggesting that any number above 100 will be a bullish sign. However, I reserve the right to change this threshold as I gain more experience with it.
2. At least 100 new highs in a day in my 4,000 stock universe. In a good market we should at least have 100 stocks hitting new highs. Furthermore, when a market has more daily new lows than new highs (as the current market does), we really should not be buying growth stocks with the expectation of making a profit. The odds are simply against us.
3. Wishing Wealth Daily QQQQ Index Positive. The QQQQ tracks the 100 largest non-financial stocks in the NASDAQ. I watch the QQQQ to track the tech stocks, and often trade it or its options. This index is positive when my technical indicators suggest that it is in a rising trend. (You don’t really expect me to disclose how I do that, do you? You would never visit me again.)
4. This index is similar to #3 above, but is a daily measure of the SPY, an index that tracks the S&P 500 index. The SPY is another useful way to buy or sell the market and is an excellent indicator of the general market trend.
5. The weekly QQQQ index is the same as #3 above but is based on the weekly trend. A change in trend will occur in the daily indicator before the weekly indicator. In a strong market both the daily and weekly trends will be positive.
6. The IBD Mutual Fund Index comes from the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) newspaper. A chart of this index appears in the mutual fund section. To be positive, this index must be above its 50 day moving average, shown daily. Update: IBD no longer publishes the 50 day average in the graph in the paper or online edition. IBD subscribers can get the full chart by typing in 0muti in the charting function on the IBD home page. I have found that when these growth mutual funds are rising, then I can expect to successfully buy growth stocks. (Don’t take my word for it. Go back and see how this index relates to your trading success.)
The Wishing Wealth General Market Index just counts the number of these conditions that are positive. The index is 0 today. I will continue to track these indicators daily and publish them on the blog. I hope that they will be as useful to you as they have been to me. With a zero reading, I will not waste our time talking about stocks to buy. A better use of our time would be to discuss stocks to short.
