Ever have a leg cramp or foot cramp wake you up out of a sound sleep ?
Nighttime (or nocturnal) leg cramps are a sudden tightening (contraction) of the leg muscles, usually in the calf. But the muscle cramps can sometimes happen in the thigh or foot. They often occur just as a person is falling asleep or waking up. Leg cramps can be painful. They can last a few seconds to a few minutes. Nighttime leg cramps are sometimes called charley horses.
Though nighttime leg cramps are common, experts don't know exactly what causes them.
To stop a leg cramp, while sitting, straighten your leg and bend your foot up toward your knee. It may help to place a rolled towel under the ball of your foot and, while holding the towel at both ends, gently pull the towel toward you while keeping your knee straight. This stretches the calf muscles. The leg cramp usually goes away after a few minutes. Some people find that a hot shower or a warm bath helps. Others get relief by rubbing the calf with an ice pack.
Thanks Google... Maybe I can get some sleep tonight ....

Grammar Check In My Article Writing
It is said that the message writers want to say is clearly seen in the compositions they make. There also times that messages are masked by metaphors. Nevertheless, the fact still remains that readers will absolutely understand the message of the writer, if they can find it. It would be difficult to find or understand precisely what the reall message of the writeup is if the grammar is not as great as it ought to be. What will a writer like me should do then? The solution, performing a grammar check in every completed work that I make. In the event you go to www.englishgrammar.org, what I do is considered as the proper thing.
There's one good reason why I need to perform grammar checks in every writing I make. The simple truth is, writing is my job. If the articles are surely great, clients will definitely love it. I'll definitely encounter problems if the article I have made for customers aren't truly great. A badly written article will possibly mean that I ought to make rewrites about them. The greatest worry for me would be losing my accounts. Any withdrawn contract or canceled service will only put a taint the reputation that I have been planning to build. Because of this, I alway make certain that my work is done right.
When it comes to examining the grammar, proofreading is actually the perfect way to do it, and the website www.funbrain.com could agree with it. By proofreading, one will be able to see the probable errors in the article. For example, mistakes in sentence and paragraph structure, grammar and spelling would be seen and would be corrected. In www.bartleby.com, it is said that the ways in how a writer can perform proofreading on their work is many. Usually, most writers would do the proofreading on their own. Several writers would not try to do the proofreading but hire several else instead. Still, there are actually also those who let associates, workmates or family check the work for them. Any of the ways is a massive advantage to me, especially since I have a lot of work to do.
Several may think that I'm boasting, but the fact remains that I do a lot of work as a result of the many clients I have. Several of my works include but not restricted to writing blogs, site content, product and service reviews and article writing. The reason for this is as a consequence of the good service I provide. Surprisingly, my customers could sometime say that my grammar is nearly perfect once they read my work. Even if they say so, I know for myself that my grammar isn't perfect. The reason for this is that my native language was never English. Because of my grammar check practices, I was in a position to impress my customers. For me, checking the work twice might not satisfy me. Like what www.virtualsalt.com mentioned, grammar checks should be done as numerous as probable, until one is contented.
English Grammar Software - A Story I Would Like To Share About It
Many migrants, such as I, would agree that it's difficult to have a fresh start. Even though there are some who think that immigrants are not uncomfortable, this is not the reason why many immigrants find it difficult. It is the fact that I have to adapt how their culture works. I came from east Asia. To add more difficulties for me, no person can easily understand me if I speak crooked English. Thankfully, I had a few knowledge about the English language with the short English lesson I once took, however, fluently speaking English is not yet possible for me at start.
Fortunately, I am a person who is highly adaptable. Months have passed and I realized that living in US is no longer difficult to me. There was a time, when I met another immigrant in the identical place I live. Luckily for her, we came from the same country. We became friends right away. Unfortunately for her, she had very little English and find it difficult to adapt and interact with other people. True, I could have taught her personally, unfortunately, the responsibilities I have both to my job and my family will surely hold me back. Because of this I decided to help her by bringing her to the site: www.englishgrammar.org.
She was glad that she can become better in English, according the various ways that she can use. Since I have to explain things to her, I decided to stay with her for a while. Here we found out that she can use grammar applications just to further improve her English grammar. And because she has a computer at home, using these applications sound perfect. But before we decided on anything, we searched the web much more for reviews about these applications. Finally, we reached www.funbrain.com and found the reviews we need.
We then chose the most suitable software for her after reading all those reviews. It took us a while to find the software we need, until we came across www.bartleby.com. At the beginning, I tried visiting her to check on her progress. Within just a few weeks, she has finally improved her English prowess. In fact, I can even say that we made the right decision. The good change in her really made me happy, especially since I see her talking with other people more. She was able to build more confidence inside her for people can understand her.
For added info about these English language understanding applications, feel free to go to the site: www.virtualsalt.com.

I worked at Marsh full-time (less than an year)Pros
Very stable company. Good atmosphere, with a sincere non-assuming feeling.Cons
Too much emphasis on metrics and the actual time taken to complete a task, in the use of Siebel time management program.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Put the emphasis back on what is actually accomplished daily by an employee and less on the metrics of the time it took to accomplish that task. Less micromanaging and more seeing the big picture would improve the bottom line of this company.
Hire a business consultant to troubleshoot your training program for the role of Certificate Specialist in order to find out the reason for the high turnover rate in the classroom/ work setting and how it is affecting your operations budget and company morale and reputation. Hire an experienced, articulate person specifically for the role of first point of contact for the Data Entry department, so the data entry specialists can concentrate fully on their job and a more professional impression of the company in general will be experienced by clients and customers calling in.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Imperfections stare at me through the mirror
Their cruel words echoing in my ears
The time spent on attempting perfection all but lost
No matter the effort I put into it never worth the cost
Unable to achieve the standards I've set so high
And feeling less than desirable always asking why
Taking one picture after the next to just get it right
A losing battle no matter how hard I fight
A different hair color every couple months
The craving to be the natural me not considered even once
I've lost myself after all these years of trying to appease everyone else
And feeling that I'm only able to fail
the simplicity of wanting to be praised and adored taking first place
Something I've come to think I don't deserve
But regardless of how absurd
It'll only grow worse
Its eating me alive on the inside
Yet I can't escape it, can't hide
The need to be loved will consume me until the day I die.
*****I wrote this poem in realization that some of us suffer from things that are often beyond our control. I wrote this in honesty.****
Though I drove aimlessly, unsure of my destination, I was blindly being lead exactly where I needed to be.
The incompleteness of my life, the emptiness inside, the walls I had hidden behind collapsed around me
Life can change in an instant, for better or worse: Life can end in a moment, one careless act can change it all
The strength to progress is minimal, the desire to get up is minute sometimes, even the best of us fall
I have seen moments where I wanted to lay down and die, give in and succumb to the grim reapers desire
Through blinded eyes I see a light, as bright as the sun, feel the intense heat from an immense ball of fire
Am I dead? Have I finally tempted fate one time too many? Am I doomed to spend an eternity in this hell?
I close my eyes and imagine what could have been one last time. I feel peace coming over me, all is well.
I awake to an image of my truck engulfed in flames, upside down. Someone is trapped inside
I try to scream out, but the words won't come. It's my fault, for turning my life into such a wild ride
I feel a tugging at my arm, my body is being violently shaken. I can't make the trembling cease
I had no idea that this could happen, why me? I promised her forever. May she rest in peace!
Everything was beautiful, the sky such a perfect baby blue, the rays of sun almost transparently visible. I could hear the crickets chirp, feel the fresh dew as I lay on the grass. Even the repressed memories of my childhood, the abuse, neglect, those memories I had tried so hard to black out, suddenly disappeared. This euphoria is unimagineable, unattainable, I have finally found my true love. I could not imagine how incomplete my life really was until I found my soulmate. This feeling so pure, so wonderful, how could I have ever lived without? My heart feels so warm, finally complete, working in overdrive, racing at just the thought of this love and adoration.
My eyes slowly close as I drift off to sleep, but suddenly I am awakened by a tingling, a burning sensation that overwhelms my body. I can hear distant sounds but they are too minute to understand.
I open my eyes as my body jerks, I can finally hear the word that has been repeating through my mind.
I feel myself fading away with a pounding in my chest, gasping for air, I look down and see that my baby is still with me, nourishing my body as she slowly kills every last cell. Love hurts, but I never thought it would hurt so wonderfully...
I feel the darkness coming in on me and I remember how great she felt the first time, I never thought I would find a love so pure, but that would cost me so much...
I died with her in my arms, her name was Heroin...
The note was written through tear filled eyes, explaining the misery that I had experienced, and that this time I simply could not hold on any longer, I needed a break. Everything was done, I checked the stove twice, coffee pot was off but I assumed to unplug it would be better, the dog had food and water. The front door was locked, thermostat was set at a reasonable level. Dinner was on the table, laundry was put away, everything anyone might notice was taken care of. It would not matter at all if I decided to leave, he would not even notice I was gone until he needed something, Would anyone even miss me? This was the last time I would hide the cuts and bruises behind make-up and sunglasses. My biggest nightmare had come true, and the only person to blame was me.
I walked back up the stairs one last time to make sure she was nestled securely in her bed, I could hear the repetitious breathing like so many times before, the soothing sounds of peaceful slumber. I went back down the stairs, took one last look around as I stepped into the garage. This would be the last time I ever called this place home.
I took one last deep breath, steadied myself on shaking legs. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, heard my daughters trembling voice, "Mommy what are you doing out here", as I pulled the trigger............
The memory of that night still plays constantly through my mind like a video reenactment stuck on repeat. There is no rewind, fast-forward, pause, eject... The horror just as fresh as the blood that trickled down her blouse. The crimson red glowed in the moonlight, each new source as beautiful as the last, like poetry in motion, an artists' final masterpiece. Completely magical how her tears blended with my chosen color to create an opaquely pink streak down one side of her neck. The champagne-like nectar, it's bitter taste reminiscent of the bitterness she held towards me, yet I could not get enough. An overwhelming desire, almost an addiction, a thirst I could not quench. The knife was my paintbrush, her gown my canvas, a piece of art that noone will ever see, at a price that one could not afford to pay. I am an artist, and I made beautiful work out of a being so horrible.
You are welcome baby...
Who would have ever thought that crimson red could have such a brilliant glow
There was so much blood. How anyone could live through that I did not know
Through tear filled eyes I watched as she gasped for one last breath
She fought so hard to survive, but we both knew she had nothing left
In it's own morbid way there was a certain beauty in her empty stare
As if he had brought peace to a life of agony, hurt, and despair
I closed my eyes and hoped that maybe this was all just a dream
Perhaps I had only imagined the horrible things I had just seen
Why couldn't I stop him? I was her last hope and I let her down
Like I was standing on the shore, watching as she drowned
I just want it to be over, but it seems like this is merely where it begins
He glanced into the hallway mirror and smiled as I looked back at him
Well..it's been a while
So um...let me kick this off
And uh, I promise it'll clear up any questions
Damn right I'm the ex
And damn right I'm the best
You'll never find anyone to take my place
You can tell 'em you love 'em all you want
But you'll be seeing my face
And no matter how far you run
You can't get rid of what you've done
You had a girl that woulda given you the world
Now you're too busy wishin you could get me outa your head
Because you turned your back instead
So fuck all those fakes who pretend they have you
They don't and you and I both know it's the truth
But hell go ahead an let 'em try
They won't get very far
All those bitches know I got your heart
Who woulda thought
We ain't fighting no one but ourselves
So I''m just gonna kick it
Let everyone think they got you on around their thumb
Gonna watch them try to get close
Play a little dumb
And give them deuces as the pass by
I never thought it would play out this way
But hell we did it to each other
What can either of us really say
These coy hazel eyes hide a heart so cold
They will capture your heart and steal your soul
And I will kill and good intentions you've ever had
I'll become the obsession that drives you mad
I'll be the poision you'll willingly take
I'm best and worst decision you'll ever make
I can fullfill your darkest wish
And torment you with your most twisted wish
I will tempt you with lust and affection
So you will will lose all sense of direction
I will corrupt any innocence left within your mind
I will destroy any sense of love in you I can find
I will feast upon your heart like a untreatable disease
So that you'll only suffer if you ever try to leave
You should have never trusted me....
These nightmares are from fear to fall asleep
Worried they will come like wolves in the night creep
The actions in these nightmares are souless intentions
The darkest part of myself that never goes mentioned
I can only save those treasured enough to stay
And the rest are left to find their own way
Often to face the horrors they did upon others
Simply just to make them suffer
Most are the ones who have crossed me in life
So they can exist in the terrors of death and the end of a knife
Yet in others I find myself running away
My own fears sometimes leading me astray
Eventually I will find peace once I close my eyes
Or haunt me until the day my last breath dies
Lately my minds been such a mess
That I've had no relief and no rest
Too fcused on being a mother I forgot everything else
Forgotten how being my own person felt
I've become a shell of who I used to be
I look in the mirror and don't even see me
All I see is circles under my eyes
And the ugly shades of my hair from fading dye
Nails bitten don so far they bleed
From trying to fill everyone elses needs
Expected to be a giving mother and wife
To which I've dedicated my life
Not that I'm not thankful, I am
I get to stay at home while he works his ass off for uncle sam
It's just to the point where I stopped caring for myself
And had too much pride to ever ask for help
Now I'm stuck in this chaos of my mind with no reprieve
This smile is only meant to decieve
I can only hope this darkness will eventually leave

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Maybe it was all the foie gras and champagne. Perhaps it was the Escoveitch salmon and faux Ritz Side Car cocktails.
But for some reason, the celebration I attended in Manhattan on Tuesday night marking the 20th anniversary of the first exchange traded fund, State Street's SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) enabled me to reach my epiphany for 2013. Since I only get one a year, I was surprised it happened so early on.
It's this: An active investment management style is superior to a passive one.
Hopefully, this puts to rest the uncertainty I know resides in many investor's minds. It's right up there with paper vs. plastic and Ginger vs. Mary Ann and other raging debates. Perhaps my declaration will silence Vanguard founder Jack Bogle too.But seriously, it is true, and for a very simple reason. Passive investing is nothing more than a theoretical construct. In reality, it cannot happen. Perhaps I should say does not happen. Specifically, not a single investor I've met in 20-plus years on the Street -- trust me, that's a big number -- has ever put all of their money in a broad market index or ETF and let it ride for their lifetime. They put some in SPY, and some in bond funds to manage volatility. Or they put some in SPY or some in small-cap indexes to add a growth component. Still others buy individual stocks and then ETFs or indexes. Whether you do this on your own or with the help of an adviser, the fact is you are engaging in active asset management. Further, unless you want to own SPY and SPY only for the rest of your life, this active management is your only option. That said, my advice to investors is to remain agnostic with respect to financial product formats and focus on combining assets in such a way that you position yourself to achieve highly specific financial goals. Specifically, I believe that active small-cap managers are worth their weight in gold during bear markets. Remember, losing less than the indexes is winning. Further, I prefer in-country active managers for international equities over passive portfolios. I practice what I preach. For the GMG Defensive Beta Fund, which I co-manage with a mandate to provide long-term capital appreciation with less volatility than broader equity markets, we combine passive ETFs (and ETNs, where the "N" stands for notes) with individual equity selections. All totaled these passive investments constitute about 31% of our holdings. Besides SPY, they include: Powershares DB Agriculture (DBA), Powershares DB Energy (DBE), SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), iShares Silver Trust (SLV), ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (PALL), ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT), United States Gasoline (UGA) and SPDR BarCap Short-Term High Yield Bond ETF (SJNK). This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Contrary to major media reports, the Arctic & Antarctic ice sheets have seen record growth year after year. After blatantly lying to the public in the face of hard science, so called "experts" are now calling for a "crackdown" on climate change skeptics who dare to question the "consensus" that man made global warming is not man made. Not only do they seek to tax us at every turn in the name of global warming, now too they seek to silence anyone who disagrees.
Watch the report file don YouTube here…
In the face of many real environmental threats such as genetic modification which damages our DNA, extreme over-fishing and toxic waste dumping, the environmental movement has been hijacked in the name of Al Gore carbon taxes. In fact the single greatest threat to humanity across the ages is despotism and democide, but don't expect the government to tax itself anytime soon.

After all, what other online RPG lets you put the pedal to the metal as you hurtle along a postapocalyptic wasteland, blasting other cars, not to mention mutated creatures? Of course, part of the charm of online role-playing games is that you can graduate from beating up on the computer to challenging your fellow human players in a test of skill, as well as low ping rates. Every online role-playing game approaches player-versus-player gameplay in its own way, and Auto Assault is no different. We'll let the NetDevil staff explain. "

The Official Auto Assault site has updated the recon section with a second look at loot. Brad Pitt denied that his latest movie was a bomb, citing the following:
"Traders have often
remarked about the sheer variety of items and useful pieces
of equipment found in the Central Wastelands, whether from
the ruins of an ancient pre-apocalyptic city, deep in the
stomach of a particularly nasty Crawler, or strewn from
the wreckage of a Pike Duster. In fact, the wide assortment
of resources, weapons, components, and other materials available
for exploitation in the Central Wastelands theoretically
approaches infinity. A Loot research study funded by Sledge's
Stop 'n Shop in Scrap Valley estimates that there are billions of unique objects in the Central Wastelands alone. Although most items are quite common – it is not unknown to come across an extremely rare, valuable find. "

Will "Mondain's Legacy" enliven UO's mundane legacy?
The honorable, eight-year-old granddaddy of MMOs, Ultima Online, recently got a kick in the pants with the recent "Mondain's Legacy" expansion. A handful of developers and designers sat down with RPG Vault to detail its new features.
I think all aspects of Mondain's Legacy were influenced by the community in some form or another. That's a big reason why this expansion has so many different types of things to do. Because our community has lots of different likes and dislikes, we spent many hours trying to best fit community requests into a realistic production schedule.
The hardest part of game development is limiting the number of implemented designs in order fulfill a realistic goal. There are many more things we'd really like to do, but we have to prioritize what we can do within the necessary constraints.

Now they've discovered that gays of one sex have brains that function like straight people of the opposite sex, further suggesting that homosexualityis caused by genetic factors, and is not a matter of choice.

New poll shows that blacks feel their own people are more racist than whites
Earlier this month, Rasmussen Reports engineered a new poll in the wake of the Zimmerman trial, asking a select number of African-Americans what they feel about racism in society today, and which culture is more likely to be racist. The surprising results from the poll showed that 31% of those polled felt that the black community was racist against other cultures, while only 24% felt that whites were more racist.
These results are vastly different than opinions in the black community just 50 years ago, and remarks made on July 14 from economist Thomas Sowell allude to this surprising change in attitude.
I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.
Apparently other Americans also recognize that the sources of racism are different today from what they were in the past. According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31 percent of blacks think that most blacks are racists, while 24 percent of blacks think that most whites are racist.
The difference between these percentages is not great, but it is remarkable nevertheless. After all, generations of blacks fought the white racism from which they suffered for so long. If many blacks themselves now think that most other blacks are racist, that is startling.
The moral claims advanced by generations of black leaders – claims that eventually touched the conscience of the nation and turned the tide toward civil rights for all – have now been cheapened by today's generation of black "leaders," who act as if it is all just a matter of whose ox is gored. – Zerohedge
Thomas Sowell is one of the most qualified men in America to make observations on the changes in black society over the past 50 years. As an African-American who embraced the American Dream, versus being part of the majority in his culture who fight to remain victims, Sowell points out eloquently that the dialogue that helped change white attitudes against blacks during the Civil Rights Era, has been eroded for the worse by black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, who feed off black poverty and victimhood in exchange for power.
In nearly every account in history, successful empires or dictators did not come from the hero or revolutionary who fought on the front lines, or became martyrs for the cause. Martin Luther King's dream of character over color has been replaced by race cards and victimization by the opportunists, or bureaucrats who moved in once the hero was gone, and forged a system they saw fit to rule, not what the people desired.
That a large portion of the black community feels that blacks are more racist than whites is a good change from the original problem, but a case of the pendulum swinging too far to the other side. And like the moderate Muslims who disagree strongly with their militant brother, both the moderates and successful blacks are afraid to speak out against their own, for fear they will be ostracized or called Uncle Toms by their own community that revels in mobocracy politics.

Ceglia v. Zuckerberg et al
Filing 279
REPLY to Response to Motion re 231 MOTION for Temporary Restraining Order Notice of Motion MOTION for Sanctions Notice of Motion filed by Paul D. Ceglia. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit B, # 3 Exhibit C, # 4 Certificate of Service)(Boland, Dean)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK PAUL D. CEGLIA, Civil Action No. : 1:10-cv-00569-RJA Plaintiff, v. REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SANCTIONS FOR FRAUD MARK ELLIOT ZUCKERBERG, Individually, and FACEBOOK, INC. Defendants. MEMORANDUM Plaintiff made a good faith offer to resolve this motion which Defendants rejected. Details about that offer and rejection are below. FRAUD ON THE COURT This is a fraud on the court motion. Defendants obtained an order from the court based upon their fraud. Ceglia's opposition and response to that order significant expenditure of time and resources and affected his rights. Declaration of Paul Argentieri at ¶12, ¶15 and ¶20. FAILURE TO DISCLOSE Once Defendants argued reliant on material discoverable on those undisclosed Electronic Assets, their duty to disclose was triggered. That duty arose each time their arguments related to their omission. The fraud in this instance is the false comparison regarding the emails and 1 the continuing argument of "fake contract." The email comparison was the CegliaZuckerberg email exchanges attached to the Amended Complaint with the Harvard emails. Defendants and their counsel repeated this comparison as proof that the Ceglia emails were frauds because of their absence in the Harvard email record. This argument is nonsense if Defendants had mentioned to the court the existence of the unexamined Electronic Assets. By at least June 30, 2011, if not earlier, Defendants, Snyder, Southwell and the Orrick Law Firm had a duty to disclose the existence of the Parmet Electronic Assets and the "originals" of the Electronic Assets at issue. That duty to speak arose when Defendants made arguments like this one: SNYDER: [T]he emails which we've told your Honor about which exist today on the Harvard University server...relate[] only entirely exclusively to StreetFax. "THE COURT: And they in no way corroborate or are consistent with those emails that are purportedly genuine emails between the plaintiff and Mr. Zuckerberg that are attached to the complaint? "SNYDER: Correct, your Honor." Doc. No. 94 at 10-11. This Court would not have granted mutual discovery reliant on the email fraud argument or the fake contract argument knowing of the unexamined Electronic Assets. At the very least, the court would have delayed its ruling until Defendants conducted a search of those Electronic Assets and reported back on that search. Plaintiff would have provided case law and argument related to that issue as well. Defendants made these arguments aware that this court was concerned about the security of the Harvard email evidence. 2 "THE COURT: Now on these emails with Mr. Zuckerberg's access to them at Harvard, how do we secure those going --" Doc. No. 94 at 105. "MR. SNYDER: Those [Harvard emails] are safe and secure with belt and suspenders. First Harvard University has preserved and is preserving those; second...Stroz Friedberg imaged...the contents of the Harvard server as it relates to Mr. Zuckerberg…." Doc. No. 94 at 128. See also Id. at 107. The defendants and their counsel employed experts to enhance the fraud. Those experts provided declarations about their methods assuring the court of the completeness of their examination of Zuckerberg's Harvard email record. This deployment of experts in furtherance of their fraud magnifies its seriousness and the damage done to the court process. FALSE FAKE CONTRACT ARGUMENT The Electronic Assets are relevant to Defendants fraudulent "fake contract" argument. An email, instant message, unpublished blog post or merely contemporaneous notes of Defendant Zuckerberg or another person involved in the early stages of Facebook could easily defeat the "fake contract" claim. It now comes full circle. This court has repeatedly inquired of Defendants about what harm could come from placing this case on a regular discovery track. Defendants have responded that such a decision by the court would "reward" Ceglia. Now, it seems obvious, that not immediately placing this case on a regular discovery track provided Defendants time to seek destruction of discoverable evidence. And leaving this case off the regular discovery track will reward 3 Defendants and their counsel for this fraud. Both of Defendants' key arguments ("fake contract" and "fake emails") are undercut by their failure to disclose the Electronic Assets. They are further questionable given that Defendants refuse to trust this court with a copy of those Assets as a means to have this fraud motion withdrawn. Their bargain seems to be, risk a fraud sanction, but do not allow anyone to see what is on the Electronic Assets. There is a reason Defendants and their counsel are fighting so hard to prevent an examination or allow protection of those Electronic Assets. Plaintiff and this court do not know what that reason is and it can only be discovered once those Assets are examined as well as the so-called "originals" Defendants argue they possess. JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS Defendants falsely argue claim that their actions in furtherance of the destruction of the Electronic Assets at issue was merely following the court's order in the ConnectU case. The Defendants and their counsel had the power all along to prevent destruction of that evidence and an email or phone call was all that was needed. Instead, they sought its destruction. Why? The order at issue in the ConnectU case did not prohibit the Defendants from moving the court to amend the order upon Ceglia's filing of this case. The ConnectU parties bypassed the order entirely, securing the Assets, without even filing a motion or obtaining a modified order in that case. Exhibits A and B. COPIES VERSUS "ORIGINALS" 4 Defendants claim the Parmet Electronic Assets are copies of "original" computers which they possess. supporting this claim. Defendants' failed to produce any declaration Declaration of Dean Boland at ¶18. Mr. Snyder conspicuously failed to sign a declaration supporting anything in Defendants' response. That omission is something deserving of note by this court. Therefore, there is no evidence before this court that the Electronic Assets are anything but originals of evidence. Even if the Electronic Assets were copies, Defendants claims of no foul here because they possess the originals are meritless. Throughout expedited discovery, Defendants have pursued copies and "originals" of evidence with equal vigor. They have made no distinction between the evidentiary value of either. Their attempt to do so now is self-serving. The undersigned participated in that phone conference along with this court on November 23, 2011. Declaration of Dean Boland at ¶3. The undersigned has contemporaneous notes that differ with Mr. Snyder's argument which, as this court may note, is unsupported by his declaration. Id. at ¶4. Mr. Snyder was told during that phone conference precisely what Assets were at issue. Id. at ¶5, ¶6. He repeated throughout the phone conference that he had no idea what those were. Id. at ¶8. Then, magically, two days later and now, he claims in argument that he was aware of those assets all along. WASTED TIME, MONEY AND CEGLIA'S RIGHTS AFFECTED This court held multiple hearings on issues involving expedited discovery. Ceglia, his counsel and experts expended significant time, energy and financial 5 resources dealing with Defendants pursuit of an conducting of expedited discovery. Declaration of Paul Argentieri at ¶12, ¶15 and ¶20. Defendants' and their counsels' committed fraud each time they advanced their arguments regarding "fake emails" and the "fake contract." This represents a history and pattern of discovery abuse, not merely one incident. "Mr. SNYDER: "We're willing to...provide plaintiff discovery into the critical emails on the Harvard server…." Doc. No. 94 at 47. Emphasis added. Defendants had a duty to speak at this moment that they were withholding the existence of other electronic communications when describing the Harvard emails as the "critical emails." How about mentioning then that the Harvard emails were not the only Electronic Assets with electronic communications? This court was clearly led to believe that the "Harvard emails" as they were described were all of Zuckerberg's relevant electronic communications. "THE COURT: [Y]ou think [Ceglia] can lay his hands on software that will enable him to fabricate yet new emails...to...rebut, contradict, undermine the Harvard emails. MR SNYDER: Yes." Id. at 47-48. "THE COURT: Is that the only reason to not grant mutual discovery, expedited discovery, is the potential for him to engage in a further fraud to rebut the Harvard emails?" Id. at 50. They made incomplete representations to the court in support of the court acting. They had a duty to inform the court when seeking the court's authority to 6 make decisions affecting Ceglia's claims. This court issued orders affecting Ceglia's rights based on Defendants' fraudulent arguments omitting critical evidence. A POTENTIAL RESOLUTION REJECTED Defendants were contacted before the filing of this reply to resolve this sanction motion. Exhibit C. They have rejected the opportunity to resolve the matter and refused to provide this court with a forensically sound copy of the Electronic Assets held by Parmet. Id. There is no more obvious indication that these Electronic Assets hold evidence valuable to Ceglia's case. Defendants seem to know this as they knew it when they failed to disclose their existence and sought their destruction. This refusal now makes Defendants' assurance they will hold the so-called "originals" of these Electronic Assets and the copies, securely, during this litigation an empty promise. Plaintiff has no reason to rely on Defendants' claim that they possess the "originals" or that those "originals" have not already been altered in a way that can be mirrored on the Parmet Electronic Assets once Defendants get their computer hacker hands on them. For the integrity of our justice system to work, the violation of the duties of lawyers before this court must be punished. Without such sanctions, Defendants will be emboldened to push further into this territory, now familiar to them, of evidence suppression and destruction. An evidentiary hearing is necessary. All counsel for the Defendants (i.e. Mr. Snyder, Southwell, Benjamin, Flynn, Ms. Aycock, Ms. Simpson) and Monte Cooper from the Orrick Law Firm must be held to 7 account for what they knew of these Electronic Assets, when and whether they told their clients. A jury verdict in this case will only have the public's confidence if the best measure of fairness can be seen applied to both parties. That measure is that billion dollar companies and billionaire defendants are not entitled to ignore the rules of our federal court system nor direct their lawyers to do the same. Likewise, parties and their counsel are not entitled to waste this court's time with arguments and assurances that are based on frauds and obtaining court orders, expedited discovery in this case, reliant on incomplete disclosures. AUTHORITY OF THE COURT TO SANCTION FOR FRAUD Rule 37 authorizes a broad range of sanctions when a party fails to permit discovery or to comply with the court's discovery orders. The sanctions range from an order to reimburse the opposing party for expenses to orders striking out portions of the pleadings, prohibiting the introduction of evidence, deeming disputed issues determined adversely to the position of the disobedient party, or rendering a default judgment against the disobedient party. Fed.R.Civ.P. 37; see Cine Forty-Second St. Theatre v. Allied Artists, 602 F.2d 1062, 1066 (2d Cir. 1979). When deciding on proper discovery sanction, a court considers: (1) willfulness or bad faith on the part of the noncompliant party, (2) the history, if any, of noncompliance, (3) the effectiveness of lesser sanctions, (4) whether the noncompliant party has been warned about the possibility of sanctions 8 (5) the client's complicity, and (6) prejudice to the moving party. FRCP 37. The court possesses broad inherent power to protect the administration of justice by levying sanctions in response to abusive litigation practices. National Hockey League v. Metropolitan Hockey Club, Inc., 427 U.S. 639 (1976). In National Hockey League at 642-43, the Court expressed itself clearly: "[H]ere, as in other areas of the law, the most severe in the spectrum of sanctions provided by statute or rule must be available to the district court in appropriate cases, not merely to penalize those whose conduct may be deemed to warrant such a sanction, but to deter those who might be tempted to such conduct in the absence of such a deterrent." The 2nd Circuit has adhered to that view, holding in Cine Forty-Second St. Theatre v. Allied Artists, 602 F.2d 1062 (2d Cir. 1979), that even grossly negligent failure to obey a discovery order may justify severe disciplinary measures: The principal objective of the general deterrent policy of National Hockey is strict adherence to the "responsibilities counsel owe to the Court and to their opponents," National Hockey League at 640. See also Chira v. Lockheed Aircraft Corp., 634 F.2d 664 (2d Cir. 1980). "Severe sanctions are justified, however, when the failure to comply with a court order is due to willfulness or bad faith, or is otherwise culpable." Daval Steel Prods. v. M/V Fakredine, 951 F.2d 1357 at 1367 (2d Cir. 1991). CONCLUSION As additional requested sanctions, Plaintiff seeks an order from this court 9 that Defendants cause to be deposited with this court's technical assistant a forensically sound copy of all Electronic Assets held by Parmet and Associates. 10

Recently, I was talking to a college professor who was complaining about the multitude of ways in which Linux works on various distributions. He was complaining that one distribution of Linux put a particular file in one place, and another distribution put a file in another place. He said it was hard for him to remember where each distribution put each file.
If this were a "normal user," I would have simply advised staying with one particular distribution instead of going from distro to distro, but in the professor's case, he could not enjoy that luxury because his students were allowed to use different distributions. This type of inconsistency also affects systems administrators, and even regular users as they encounter different distributions of GNU/ Linux in various places.

Writes David:
7:36 am on July 23, 2012 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
I had the cops push me aside and manhandle me all for a supposed "call" about a screaming child. Not my house; my neighbors never heard of such a thing when I interviewed them the following day, but I was grabbed by the cop, twisting my arm upwards and shoving me against the wall, before wife and kids, threatened with arrest and jail for "touching" him when I never did, forced to produce all my kids for these bastards and then they swept my house. All because I told the cop and county deputy calmly to their incessant requests to come in and see if everything was alright, "No. You may not come in." You have to ask yourself that if they weren't going to accept my answer then why ask the question in the first place! I've just crossed the half century mark in my life, and have read for years about the decline into totalitarianism, but that night two weeks ago crystallized everything. There is no "slippery slope" that we're supposedly about to go down, but the slope that we've already slid. Why is that? Because otherwise we wouldn't be having these sorts of incidents.
