This work deals with the real practicalities of getting results in the Magistrates' Court. It looks at who's who at court, and who holds what information, where forms are kept and how to fill them in. This new edition contains practical guidance which until now has been hard to find in other publications for example: how to get bail; how to argue for separate representation; what you should be looking for in disclosure; and a digest of jargon and shorthand used by the police, CPS and court staff.

Growing up in 1850s Alabama, Cooper Waterman longed to become a man of letters - a lofty dream for a handicapped lad who was poor and fatherless, and left school at 13 to become a shoeshine boy. But with his imagination, a notebook and a stub of a pencil, he rose to become a newspaper reporter, eventually going off to serve as a Civil War correspondent. Covering an epic American struggle, Cooper survives the siege of Vicksburg and rides through bloody cavalry battles with the formidable General Nathan Bedford Forrest, taking time along the way to write letters to home for hundreds of wounded or illiterate soldiers. Compelling, ringing with authenticity and told through the eyes of a southern journalist, The Letter Writer is a Civil War story remarkably different than any you may have ever read.

A teen-age girl is awakened in the wee hours of the morning to serve as her father's getaway driver when he pulls a shotgun robbery at a poker game. A woman bar owner in the French Quarter shoots a drug-addled, would-be robber dead, then covers up the incident with the help of the police. A small boy in Alabama loses his innocence with the death of a goldfish. From the author of The Letter Writer, the engaging Civil War novel, now comes this poignant collection of short stories set along the Gulf Coast that are at once humorous, touching and disturbing portraits of working-class people, and blaze a new trail directly into the heart of the American South.

Perhaps you are a beginning knitter and want to start by learning the most efficient and effective fundamentals. Or, you may have been knitting for a while, but you knit slowly and wish you could knit faster. Have you ever wondered if you could increase your speed AND your efficiency at the same time? What if there were a book that could teach you in just a few weeks the fundamentals you need to enjoy a lifetime of confidence and satisfaction in your knitting skills? And what if that book used high quality photographs and clear instructions to show you exactly what your hand and finger positioning should be as you go through the steps of a technique? Many knitters in the US and the UK have learned to "throw" their yarn onto their needles with a lot more effort than they need to, resulting in a consistently slower rate of knitting and an inefficient use of the fingers and hands. Strangely enough, this is a holdover from World War II, when the Continental knitting method fell out of favor due to its association with Germany. The Continental method is the most efficient and quickest way to knit, yet many English language knitting books still teach the English or American styles. A glance through many recent books and instructional videos still reveals a widespread lack of knowledge about the most efficient way to manipulate the yarn and needles with your hands and fingers. This book was written to address that gap in knowledge and is divided into six weekly lessons which start with basic fundamentals, and end with intermediate level skills and projects. Lucy W. DeFranco taught beginning knitting lessons for a number of years, and elaborated and expanded upon the lesson plans for those classes to create this book. Ms. DeFranco is an accomplished weaver, fiber artist, and language teacher, and has raised many different kinds of wool-bearing animals. She was also one of the co-founders of The Web*sters, a knitter's and weaver's supply store in Ashland, Oregon.
