Bring up all the documentation from foreign press showing the guy's a charlatan and a swindler. Heck, try and find a friendly, competent local journalist to take up your story. I can see it now (fair warning: former journalist, my naughts were interesting when I wasn't in the depths of suicidal depression):
FOX News Version: Islamic Leader Rips Off Scotsman
MSNBC Version: Fake Muslim Leader Harasses Hard-Working Immigrant
If the journalist does it right, they can get everyone on board (offensive language ahead - complaints department will be open from 2348 to 2349 on 30 Feb 2013, please leave comments then): the surface layer ignorant Joe Schmoes who just see some towelhead trying to do some kind of wrong; people with more than five functioning brain cells will see a cult leader that's trying to smear your name, and for extra bonus points, if you're really lucky, followers of the Prophet will be pissed that someone who has the audacity to claim to be one of them (a) has their religion so wrong; (b) has done so many disgraceful, disturbing, and disgusting things in the past; and (c) is being such an asshat to someone yadda yadda yadda.

Re:file copyright with US Copyright Office (455 comments)
Copyright.gov: $35 to file online. Seriously - you show up with that certificate in hand, especially in the context of potential court issues, it's worth it. Takes maybe three weeks to get the certificate if everything's done right the first time, and if not, they are willing to help you. Just filed for my group's first formal copyright docs a few weeks ago, got an email from the copyright office with a few questions, took care of the problems, received the certificate, and framed it.
And hopefully will never have to do anything else.

Re:That's the way the cookie crumbles (455 comments)
For what it's worth.. I say fight on.
I'm not a lawyer, I rarely play one online anymore (stupid wikipedia destroying my client base) so this shouldn't be taken as legal advice. This is how I, a vindictive evil bastard who really would like people who do bad bad things be whacked upside the head hard, would like things to play out in an ideal world.
Let's start with venue: You're in the US, Google's in the US, US courts are probably the right place to pursue action. Doesn't matter if the other person is in another place, they played with YouTube, which, if I read my ToS correctly, says that problems eventually end up in a Palo Alto courtroom. Oh, wait, they do: Actual quote from their TOS: Section 14, General: You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in California; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over YouTube, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California.
Go in small claims first: they don't show up, you win by default, Google takes them down.
Now, since they've also made a perjury declaration, you can also then have criminal charges brought because perjury is a *crime*, punishable by fines and jail time. Part of the evidence? If they had a case to make, they'd have showed up to the civil case to defend themselves. Now, with a criminal conviction - a felony, by the way - there are a fair few countries that will extradite someone who's been convicted of such a crime... one reason being that contempt for one country's legal system kinda points to a potential for contempt for any country's legal system.
Nice little circle of life. And in the afterlife where you're partying hard (or, as the other person will describe your endless choices of debauchery and metasensory overload, "hell"), you can laugh even harder.
Re:There is no American Public School System (659 comments)
I know. I didn't run into any serious challenges until college. Hell, I never took notes, never did homework, never used a calculator, and still scored A-'s in all my classes, a 750 math on my SATs and a 35 math, 32 composite on my ACTs.
And I too was in the 'advanced' or 'honors' classes.. yet they still wanted me to operate by the old standard procedures.
I ran into only one professor that basically worked well with my modus operandi. Ironically for a numbers nerd, it was in a series of history classes. Prof said that our grades were based entirely on three papers to be submitted on three specific dates on three topics specified in the syllabus. Either you went to the class and took notes, and submitted papers which were related to the topic, or you didn't. He never took attendance, never made assumptions, liked when you would submit a cogent paper which disagreed with his premises, and really liked it when you did the research. As in, went to nearly a dozen libraries, searched for first degree sources, properly cited, etc.
That was a great class. And he was the first prof outside of comp sci cool with me using my laptop for notes. (And I did it with an emacs terminal.
Re:There is no American Public School System (659 comments)
Generally, though, without adequate access of resources by the parents (read: money or mobility), a kid's stuck in the schools local to him or her. In Illinois, my pied a terre for example, if you're in a poor district and want to send your kid to a richer district, you either have to move there or pay the equivalent tuition. (The latter option is rarely engaged.)
And if you're in that situtation, you may as well send the kid to a parochial or private school.
Personally, I would suggest a solution similar to one proposed by Dan Savage for other kids that want to opt-out of high school: get a GED, get into at the least a community college, and be done with HS if there's no option for a good high school. Hell of a lot cheaper, and yeah, it means not dealing with the wankers in high school but it also means that there's more challenge that the kid can handle. And at a younger age, when he will feel like he can hack it.

Thanks, Charles Dickens. He wrote more Christmas books than anyone else. Of course, there's the classic "A Christmas Carol" which has been bastardized into more works than anything else I can think of, and only concerns the material side.

I'm waiting for a phone call that will successfully conclude a month plus of waiting.
Due to certain contractual obligations, I can't talk about what until either a) I'm rejected, in which case I'll gladly relate the info, or b) I'm accepted, in which case there will be more waiting whilst I giddily salute.
It's been driving me nuts, the waiting. It seems that waiting for Something To Happen That You Have No Control Over is the worst thing. (This particular observation is one reason I'm opposed to the death penalty; I find it crueler to know death stalks you and you will not know when it comes rather than the knowledge of a date and time and manner which will cause you to cease to be.)

I didn't even realise I was this lazy until I looked at the Fatwa post.
There she is: 19 Nov 04, and it's 18 Nov 05 now.
364 days.
What's changed in that year?
My age, and that's it.
I've been told to get my life in gear, and I have. It's in Neutral. I'm not going anywhere. My resumes and applications are received into virtual black holes, since I don't even get the courtesy of a "f*** you" phone call. I'm still waiting for my f***ing school to deign a diploma uponst me.
I've converted my core system to Gentoo. Not a painless process, and there are still some hiccups (in particular with DVD burning), but it's OK for now. I've still got my domains, and God willing I'll actually do something with them besides give GoDaddy my eight bucks per annum.
I'm trying my hand at NaNoWriMo, and what's driving me batty is stringing the cogent scenes in my head into a nice, deep story. Not deep as in spiritual or meaningful, deep as in.. to analogize, I want my plot threads woven as well as a hand-knotted Persian rug.
It's kicking my ass, as is my patent insomnia and my anticipation of certain things, like HOPE 2006 and.. well, leave the rest for later.
I'm in shock over the slaying of Theo van Gogh by "Mohammed B", as he is called by the Dutch police.
I'm in fear over the call to kill Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali-born, Muslim-reared, Dutch MP who wrote the screenplay.
I'm in mourning over the Dutch reaction, turning from one of the most tolerant societies to another America, in the intolerance given to those whose faith is different. (Legacies of Calvin in action.)
Here's a link to a torrent of the film.
The copyright issue is less important to me than making sure people see the film, and understand what the **** pissed these people off:
1. The woman is wearing a sheer abaya (robe). Her form is fully visible below her head which is covered by an opaque hijab (head-scarf) and niqab (veil).
2. Qur'anic verse is written upon her form, and lash marks slash through certain passages.
3. Her frank descriptions of domestic and sexual abuse, and her state of repression.
Share and enjoy.

I play a LOT of poker online as well as in brick-and-mortar casinos.
My personal, all-time favorite online poker room is UltimateBet. The interface is the cleanest and most intuitive, and they reward you even for free play. Clients for Windows and Mac are available.

As far as non-gaming sites.. Poki is great practice. It is an AI that plays limit hold'em, and it is amongst the hardest programs out there to play against.
Cardplayer.com and pokerpages.com are decent article sites. And of course there's rec.gambling.poker (RGP).
cya, gl
note to self: ten drinks in two hours yields unfortunate consequences.
the hangover that lasts forever is barely the beginning.
The onboard keyboard is hosed. Let me put it this way: abcdefijklnopqrstuwxyz is what I get pounding out an alphabet on it (I'm using a sleek IBM USB keyboard, which works fabulously and has a small enough form factor to fit in my backpack.) The HD sleeve is warped, so I can't replace it with a higher-capacity model. The locking latches, well.. don't. The keyboard hits the screen, a noted model defect. And the screen is slightly curved, due to a few drops. And the battery life is precisely zero, despite what the battery's diagnostics tell me. While this machine has survived at least three drops (to my knowledge) and several dissassemblies (bored), I need a newer machine in any event.
I want a machine that is top of the line, and for once, NEW. This was aquired used, and the previous laptop I had, a Toshiba Satellite with a P100 and 40 MB of RAM, were used. I want something that's going to blow my current hardware away. I use my machines for utility, but I want to be able to do 3D work, and play Tux Racer. I want to master and burn DVD's.
I also want a machine that has beautiful aesthetics. You can get a tricked out minitower that's been modded to the gills, but laptops seem to be black and gray. Some are starting to turn blue, but I want something that will stand out. I seriously looked at the Ferrari laptop that was being ballyhooed for that reason: it stands out from the crowd.
To short-list what I would like: High end processor, great graphics, DVD burner, Wi-Fi or better wireless, great appearance, and Linux compatibility.
Oh, and keeping it under about $2,000.
So far, a sampling of the rigs I've looked at:
Apple Powerbook G4: The 12" TiBook, with a SuperDrive, 256 MB RAM and 40 GB HD, runs about USD 1600 for students. (A note or so discount helps.) I upped the HD to a 60 GB, added an AirPort card, and Keynote software (I've seen it in action; it's pretty damn good.) In this config, it's $1800.
Upside is, I know it's very Linux friendly, and it's also super-lightweight. Downside is the screen size; for this outlay I would prefer a larger screen. Yes, I want my cake. I would gladly get the 15", but for some reason they charge $500 extra (above the price of the DVD-ROM/CDRW model) for the DVD burner, rather than the $200 extra they charge for the 12". FYI, base 15" with DVD burner and academic discount is $2300.)
Acer Ferrari: This caught my eye. Yeah, I got wind through a buy dot com email advert, but I looked at the specs, and at first glance they looked pretty damned good. On a by-the-numbers comparison with my enhanced baseline TiBook mentioned above, this has the numbers. 512 MB RAM, 60 GiB HD, 15" TFT display, DVD +/- RW drive, 802.11g, ATI RADEON 9200 GPU with 128 MB video RAM. This also has the dead-sexy Ferrari red shell.
The lambasting on
Alienware laptops (in general): They make me drool.
I can't help it.
They make me drool. Both the sentia (Centrino) models and the Area 51m's (Pentium 4) make me convulse. I am getting ready to hunt for a sponsored LAN party so I can get my hands on some significant rebates (they offer $100 rebates through sponsored LAN parties, as well as through purchases of certain games).
Save for the cost element. These are, so far, the most expensive I've seen and would consider. And yes, I would like to play a few more computer games, a few FPSs like Q3A, Counterstrike, AA.
eMachines : Worth a mention because of the M6807. This is the only mass-market laptop I know of with a 64-bit processor. This means that Linux is the only OS to take full advanatage. It runs comparable to a P4 3.0 GHz, from what I've read. It's a nice machine, ugly, but also on the cheaper side (website suggests $1650!), and that's potentially a big advantage. If someone can refinish the laptop, make it look better for a couple of bills, I'd dive into this rig.
I also like the Voodoo rigs, but I don't want to plunk down an extra thou for the priviledge of a pretty case. They have AMD Mobile64 processors, and are loaded to the gills as well, but again, the BASE price is nearly three grand, and that's WAY too much.
I don't think anyone else has them. If you can correct me, please do.
These are just the tip of the iceberg. I would like to know what sorts of custom makers are out there, and I would like to know more about the Linux compatibility.
Last night I spent seven hours on transferring data from one computer to another the hard way, aka through physical medium transfer.
I had to reboot his 2000 box twice to get it to copy files, and it even missed his bookmarks in Mozilla.
Eww eww eww.
The hard part, though, was moving a laptop hard drive in there. For those of you who don't know, laptop hard drives typically have a mini IDE connection which needs a small dongle to connect to a standard bus. Problem with it is, it doesn't stay there. No plastic housing. So I had to reseat the drive three, four times.
I hate Windows. I hate moving data to and from it more.
Now I'm getting complaints about his old software not working. I try to explain the Registry, but the idea is so alien to me, a hardcore *nixer, that I can't swallow it.
A little about me: I've a knack for languages. And I don't mean Perl, Python, or C++, which I have a handle on. I mean human ones.
I'm studying Arabic, and I would recommend the language be studied by anyone who wants a grip of what the hell is going on in the Middle East. That, and Hebrew, which honestly is damn near the same language.
At least the Standard Arabic is. Arabic is so fragmented it's obscene. It makes the diff between British and American look like the result of a lisp. An Iraqi and a Libyan have zero chance of understanding each other using local dialects.
And this makes the language more fun: there are no written vowels. The beautiful scripts you see are all consonants, since someone bright thought that the only people intelligent enough to read would know how to pronounce the word. Then again, Hebrew was like that too. (OT Hebrew is all consonents.)
Once I get the hang of this, I'll try an easier tongue, like Japanese or maybe Mayan.
It's been a while since I've written here.
I am about to go in my now-annual rant about 11 Sep.
Even on the day it happened, I took Bear's advice, and didn't call it Islamists. (For reference, Bear caled Oklahoma City (20 Apr, iirc) an act of a discgruntled postal worker. In fact, I spent the day the way I had originally planned, at a casino. Experiencing one of the best runs I ever had in my life. The roads were clear, there were no commercials on my radio or TV set, and everyone else was panicking. I went to the Aldi (they are a very cut-rate market specializing in self-labelled, ultra-low-price staples and junk food) and got some canned soups, some pastas, various carbonated and caffeinated beverages, tea bags, instant coffee, and some other detrius at my mom's request. (Besides, I needed to go shopping.)
I hate all the commemoration, the mourning, the horsecrap. This country seems to be based on fear and loathing, which explains Microsoft so well.
Consider Vietnam: 'They are little Asian commie sunabitches who want to take over the goddamned world.' Truth? We're little controlling sunabitches that want to take over the world.
Do you realize that for our 55,000+ dead soldiers, there were over 5,000,000 Vietnamese died, and most were civilians?
How about WW II? "Them Japs ain't human, so let's just make 'em sumabitches burn." Hiroshima, Nagasaki.
I don't doubt the philosophers and sci-fi wrters who say that man will be the salvation or destruction of man. God may be watching, but doesn't get too involved.
On a lighter note, any ideas on how to convince spiders to weave more?
And does anyone know anything about large wasps? I saw one, about three inches long with orange stripes, and it killed a cricket. They duked it out for three minutes, the wasp kept stinging, and the cricket let off a death rattle. Scared the hell out of me, something that big.

I just got Beertools pro and I am a little lost in setting up the vessel and the heat source. I am sure that I haven't figured out that there are many more thing that I am clueless of. So,the questions is... Is there a database of common setups that I can use to derive the figures to setup my "Common" style cooler and keggle setup. I have been searching around and have yet to find it. If anyone has any words of advise let me know. And... don't tell me I should have gotten another program as that is not to helpful at this point in time. Thanks
"I don't drink to find happiness. Coincidentally. I do enjoy listening to you much more after a beer or three."
I found all of the necessary info to spec out my rig over on the BTP forum (and some stuff in the wiki like the batch template).http://beertools.com/forum/viewforum...8fbd69d3925edd
It's nice to be able to use someone else's numbers but I wouldn't trust them. It shouldn't take too much effort to calibrate and it will probably lend itself to a more "hands on" understanding of how your stuff works. Just my 2 cents. One thing you'll want to be careful of is assuming what a field is really asking for or telling you. One that just bit me after many uses is the "final temp" on the separation (sparge) function. Here I thought it was the equilized temp of the grist in the MLT after the infusion but it's really the final temp of the runoff in your collection vessel. That's also a useful number, but not as important to me. It accounts for the heat parameters of the collection vessel so the number is going to be lower than the grist temp. There are tricks and workarounds for just about everything you'd want to do but I was hoping it was more intuitively indicated within the program.
Thanks for the good advise!!! I will keep all that in mind. Also, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Texas Longhorns (12-5)
@Missouri Tigers (16-1)
Saturday, January 14
Mizzou Arena
Attendance: 14,026
Columbia, MO (Sports Network) - Ricardo Ratliffe scored 21 points, while Phil Pressey added 18 points and 10 assists, and No. 9 Missouri held off Texas for an 84-73 victory at Mizzou Arena.
Marcus Denmon ended with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers (16-1, 3-1 Big 12), who have won two in a row since losing at Kansas State a week ago.
They held a 43-30 lead at halftime, and after Texas got within two possessions in the middle of the second half, Missouri pulled back ahead and led comfortably the rest of the way.
"It was a great win for us today," said Missouri head coach Frank Haith. "I thought we showed some poise down the stretch. When they cut [the lead] to five, we did a nice job of getting stops."
J'Covan Brown poured in 34 points for the Longhorns (12-5, 2-2), who had won their last two.
"Our problem lies on the offensive end. We don't do the things we need to do to reach our full potential," said Texas head coach Rick Barnes. "J'Covan Brown had a great game today, but we've got to have everybody."
Missouri used a 16-2 run near the middle of the first half to take control. Denmon, Michael Dixon and Kim English each hit a three-pointer during the run, which Ratliffe ended with two layups for a 30-16 advantage.
The Tigers led by double digits for the rest of the half, and were up 59-46 after English sank a jumper with 13 minutes to play.
But Myck Kabongo followed with a three, Alexis Wangmene added a three-point play, and Texas began to come back. With just under 10 minutes remaining, Brown drained two free throws to make it a 62-57 game.
However, Pressey drilled a three at the other end, and made two foul shots after Kabongo turned the ball over. His fastbreak dunk with 8:36 to play pushed Missouri's lead to 69-57, and Texas didn't put together another run.

Republican Paul Thurmond did in fact win the District 41 Senate election against Democrat Paul Tinkler, but he had to wait almost 24 hours after the polls closed to be sure.
Sleep-deprived Charleston County election officials spent much of Wednesday continuing their work adding up 14,000 paper absentee ballots to get full, unofficial results.
Tinkler, who trailed by more than 4,000 votes after all the machine results were counted, didnt wait until the complete tally Wednesday to call Thurmonds office and pass along his congratulations.
Thurmond won by more than 5,000 votes out of 49,730 cast and a 56-44 percent margin, according to complete unofficial results.
Other election results also became clear Wednesday across the Lowcountry.
Dorchester results
A computer glitch delayed Dorchester Countys election reports Tuesday night, but its absentee ballots were all counted by 2:40 a.m. Wednesday.
In House District 97, the late results were enough to lift incumbent Democrat Patsy Knight over Republican challenger Ed Carter by a 55-45 margin.
Meanwhile, voters in Dorchester District 2 supported the $179.9 million bond referendum to build and improve schools by a 3-2 margin, and a $7.5 million aquatic complex won by a 51-49 margin.
In the District 2 school board race, incumbents Barbara Crosby (21 percent) and Lisa Tupper (19 percent), and former Principal Sam Clark (17 percent) defeated four others seeking the three at-large seats.
Longtime board member Bo Blanton did not seek re-election. Other candidates (and their unofficial results) include: Harry Blake (14 percent), David DuBose (13 percent), Justin Farnsworth (12 percent), and Louis L. Smith (5 percent).
Charleston School Board
Its still unclear which write-in candidate will prevail in the race for the Charleston County School Boards downtown seat.
Joe Debney, director of the countys Board of Elections and Voter Registration, said he expects to have that result before the board meets at 10 a.m. Friday to certify the results.
No candidate was listed on the ballot for that spot, though five launched write-in campaigns. Tallying those electronic votes can be complicated because of misspelled names, and absentee paper ballots must be counted manually, he said.
The downtown seat had about 9,500 write-in votes on election day.
Also, election officials still are tabulating write-in candidates for 14 open seats on constituent school boards. Were working around the clock to get it done, Debney said.

William, Thanks for your reply. I look forward to any information you may be able to give me on the Mabuses. I believe that I am distantly related to your late wife. My maternal grandfather was named JAMES THURMAN MABUS. He was born March 15 1916 (the Ides) and died on December 20 1995. His father was DENVER MABUS of Ackerman MS. I believe, but could be mistaken, that DENVER and RAY MABUS's father were first cousins.

Gear Review
All right, I love Burton from day one. Used to (and still do in a way) live in the mountains and could always depend on Burton on the slopes and to stay warm on other snowy adventures. I'm pretty tiny and can't fit into women's sizes so I'm lucky Burton makes kids boarding gear, which fits me awesomely! They are warm and comfy and have easy to access compartments and such. Got to love Backcountry!

Royals option Mike Moustakas to Omaha; Jimmy Paredes to be recalled
The Royals announced today that they have optioned third baseman Mike Moustakas to Omaha. In a corresponding roster move, infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes will be recalled prior to Friday's game in Anaheim.
Paredes, 25, has played in four games with the Royals this season, going 0-for-1 with two runs scored and two stolen bases as a pinch runner. He is hitting .327 (35-for-107) with 4 doubles, 2 triples, 3 homers and 17 RBI in 26 games with the Storm Chasers.
Ned Yost media session: August 21, 2013
The Royals have 106 stolen bases on the season, which is most in the American League. Today at Ned Yost's afternoon press conference the manager was asked how important stealing bases and baserunning in general is for this team. "It's important. The more scoring opportunities we have, hopefully, the more runs we are going to score. It hasn't worked out like that lately but you still have to put yourself in the best positions to score runs and take advantage of a big hit."
Since returning from the disabled list on August 12th, Chris Getz has been hitting the ball well, to the tune of .364 batting average. The skipper explained this afternoon why he has inserted Getz in tonight's leadoff role. "The reason you are seeing Getz at the top of the lineup today is because he has been swinging the bat very well. He has been working the count extremely well since he has been back. He is seeing pitches and doing everything you want a leadoff guy to do," said Yost.
Mike Moustakas is returning to the lineup for only the second time since leaving the August 12 game with a tight left calf. Yost said his third baseman is probably still at 80-85% but thinks he should be able to play through the tightness.

Ned Yost media session: August 20, 2013
The Royals have been dealing with key injuries over the past few weeks. Two of those injuries have been to Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain. Ned Yost was asked about the outfielder and third baseman at this afternoon's press conference. "Moustakas will play tomorrow. We will give him some days off against tough lefties to get healed up. Then we can use him late in the game or pinch-hit with him. He is a valuable part of our team and he has been swinging the bat really well. This leg injury effects his speed a little bit. It doesn't really affect him at third base but we want to get it healed. We are going to try to take every opportunity to get him a break when we possibly can." The skipper went on to talk about the progress of Lorenzo Cain. "He is getting better but still isn't doing any baseball activities. He is doing strength and conditioning but no swinging the bat or throwing. He is a bit of a ways away."
With 39 games left on the schedule the Royals know that every game is important. The next five series are against teams currently under .500 (not counting the makeup game vs. Tampa Bay). Yost was asked if his club has to show what they are made of in those contests more so than the others. "No. This team over here (White Sox) has won nine of last 14 games and three in a row. We have zero easy games left. You can claim they are under .500 all you want. On any given day that doesn't make any difference. You have to come out and play good baseball every day. You have to stay focused and you can't let your guard drop until the last pitch is thrown. If you do, you are going to be in trouble," said the manager.
By Kent Klooster
Ned Yost media session: August 13, 2013
During last night's victory the Royals had a scare when Mike Moustakas left the game in the fifth inning. His calf tightened up on him while rounding second base on Justin Maxwell's RBI triple. Today at Ned Yost's daily press conference he was asked about the status of his young third baseman. "He has a grade one strain. He feels a little better. It is going to be a day-to-day thing. He looked better walking in here today than he looked walking out of here last night. He had a pretty pronounced limp when he left last night, which made me worry a bit but came in today just barely limping. We will evaluate it day-to-day," said Yost.
Without Salvador Perez in the lineup, who is just getting a day off, and with Moustakas out nursing a sore calf the skipper inserted David Lough in the five hole. The manager was asked about the decision. Ned had this to say, "We are just looking for some balance. We are always looking for balance. If we batted Lough in the leadoff position we didn't really have anyone who could fill the number five spot."
With the Royals winning 18 of 23 since the All-Star break, the fans are getting excited about this team and potential playoff possibilities. Ned was asked if he has noticed a change in the energy around the stands and in the city. "The excitement level is great. The fans have great anticipation when they walk through the gates every day. I think we all sense the fans are excited about the way we were playing." Yost went on to joke, "I don't have near as many fans scream at me back behind the dugout since we have been playing well, which is a nice thing."

The Monaco Grand Prix is the one race of the year that every driver dreams of winning. Like the Indy 500 or Le Mans, it stands alone, almost distinct from the sport from which it was born. A combination of precision driving, technical excellence and sheer bravery is required to win in Monte Carlo, facets which highlight the differences between the great and the good in Formula One.
"Whatever else one thinks about it, the Monaco Grand Prix is just special," says multiple winner Michael Schumacher. "Even the slightest error here is punished."
To win in Monaco places a driver's name on a list that includes many of history's all-time greats. Both Graham Hill, the man nicknamed 'Mr Monaco', and Schumacher have won it five times, Alain Prost took four victories, whilst Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart each won here three times. But the record of wins in the Principality resides with the legendary Ayrton Senna, who won in Monte Carlo six times.
Monaco, however, has been known to throw up a number of surprise victories, so demanding and arduous is the race. In 1972 Jean-Pierre Beltoise took a storming win in the wet. It would be his only victory in the sport. In 1982 Riccardo Patrese won against the odds in a race that it seemed nobody wanted to win, with Prost spinning out, Didier Pironi and Andrea de Cesaris running out of fuel and Derek Daly leaking oil. In 1996, Olivier Panis took his first, and Ligier's last Formula One victory.
Monaco has also seen some frightening crashes. In 1955 Alberto Ascari was launched into the harbour and in 1967 Lorenzo Bandini crashed at the chicane and suffered horrendous burns from which he was to die. In 1994 Karl Wendlinger crashed in the same spot and went into a coma, from which he subsequently recovered.
Despite the obvious safety implications of the demanding, tight streets of Monaco, the race persists as one of the greats. Monaco is known as the jewel in Formula One's crown and the excitement of the race, combined with the glamour of Monaco itself, keeps the sport and its fans coming back year after year.

Managing Non-Performers —Fioernza
November 2006Unfortunately for many employers, it's this "quick trigger" mentality that can make a decision that feels so right, go so very wrong. Too often, the decision to discharge an employee takes place in a perfect storm of high emotions, immediate business needs and disregarded legal rules. Such a decision—justified though it may be—can end up costing your company thousands of dollars in legal fees, back wages to the employee, and could result in that same problem employee being reinstated to his or her prior job.
Think about it. If an employee was a problem before being fired, imagine what he or she will be like after being reinstated. Employment-related lawsuits can also sap your intellectual energy, hurt company morale and cause you to lose focus on your company's goals.
Learn the Law
The legal risks associated with discharge decisions can be minimized when printers take the time to become acquainted with the legal standards involved well in advance of being faced with a pressing need to discharge a worker. Absent a collective bargaining agreement or an individual employment contract, most employees in this country are employed on an "at will" basis.
In other words, in the eyes of the law, they can be discharged "for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all." However, there are numerous and often obscure legal exceptions to this rule.
Consequently, before any discharge decision is made, employers should analyze each situation to determine whether their discretion is limited by an exception to the "employment-at-will" rule.
Review all contracts and other writings. Where an employment or union contract exists, the employer's right to discharge an employee is most likely encompassed within the "four corners" of that document.
But the analysis should not stop there. Offer letters, performance evaluations, e-mail and other communications should also be analyzed to determine whether the employer's right to discharge has been limited.
For example, where an evaluation states "you have six months to correct these problems…", an employer would be hard pressed to discharge an employee after two. Where a salesperson is given a quota of $500,000, an employer is on shaky ground discharging for performance if this threshold has been met.
Are you discharging an employee in a "protected class?" Wrongful discharge cases generally hinge on an employee proving that: 1) the reason for the discharge offered by the employer is false; and 2) the action itself violates a law that protects the employee from discharge. To address this first issue, employers must realize that any written document which appears inconsistent with the discharge decision can be fatal to defending the employer's actions in court.
Honest Evaluations
Let's say, for example, that you have an employee whose prior annual evaluations indicate that her job performance is "satisfactory," even though it was not. This is not uncommon, since many managers are reluctant to rate overall performance as "unsatisfactory."
Where such an employee is later fired due to poor performance, those annual evaluations will be used as evidence to "prove" that the employer's reason for firing the employee is false, and that illegal discrimination is the "real" reason.
Accordingly, all documentation related to the employee should be analyzed by the employer and its attorney prior to discharge. Where contradicting documentation exists, employment lawyers will often counsel a client to postpone a discharge. We will tell the client to try to rehabilitate the employee's performance and carefully document those rehabilitation efforts. If they work, the problem is solved. If not, the client has time to document the worker's performance deficiencies to offset the earlier contradictory documentation.
Employers must also understand the concept of "protected classes." The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 was the first major exception to the employment-at-will rule and created this concept of "protected classes." In essence, this Act provides that employees cannot be fired because of their union-related activities. In other words, where an employee engages in union organizing activities, for example, the employee belongs to a class of individuals protected from discharge under the law.
Today, there are many other classes. They prohibit discrimination on the basis of an employee's race, color, gender, religion or national origin. Therefore, any termination based on these factors is a violation of law. Numerous other federal and state laws have since been enacted that provide similar discharge protection on the basis of an employee's age, disability and sexual orientation, as well as other non-discriminatory bases.
For example, if your company is covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, the discharge of an eligible employee for taking a qualified leave will be overturned regardless of employer justification. Likewise, failing to return an employee to work following a leave protected by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act will be reversed.
Thus, when confronted with discharge decisions, employers/ managers must bear in mind this concept of protected classes. A discharged employee in a protected class can start a wrongful discharge claim merely by establishing that they are a member of a protected class and suffered an adverse employment action. It then becomes the employer's obligation to prove a legitimate non-discriminatory reason (e.g., job performance deficiencies, misconduct, lack of qualifications, etc.) for its action. It is virtually impossible to "re-construct" this reasoning after the fact.
The key is to recognize before a discharge decision is finalized that where a protected class is involved, a heightened duty of proof exists should the matter end up in court.
So, without obtaining an employment law degree, how does an employer make reasonably safe discharge decisions?
The Manager's Role. Documentation is critical. It is incumbent on the employer's managers to document all employment decisions in a manner designed to defend potential claims of wrongful discharge. The manager can substantially limit the company's potential liability by remembering that all discharge decisions will ultimately be judged on a standard of job- relatedness. Accordingly, the manager must be able to demonstrate with clear documentation that the action was taken because of a true job requirement.
Progressive Discipline. With the exception of certain "summary" offenses that warrant immediate dismissal (e.g., workplace violence, theft, substance abuse on the job, etc.), creating a "record that stands up" requires a personnel file which includes successive levels of "discipline." When reviewed as a whole, the file should lead to the conclusion that the discharge was the employer's clear right, based not on "employment-at-will", but rather on the basis of unacceptable employee conduct. Generally speaking, a strong personnel file will include evidence of oral and written warnings, poor evaluations, rehabilitation efforts, and possibly a suspension, prior to the discharge.
Evaluating Company Discipline. Whether operating in a union or non-union environment, certain general principles will help the employer withstand a challenge to its decision to impose discipline. The following considerations should be addressed before a final decision regarding the discharge of an employee is reached:
It should be clear that the employee was aware that his or her conduct violated company standards or rules. If a written rule was involved, the rule should be posted or distributed to the employees and related to a reasonable business interest.
The standard used to measure the employee's performance conforms to an acceptable industry practice. It is not arbitrary or unreasonable.
The employer should be able to establish that the standard has been consistently applied with regard to all employees. In other words, no employee should be "singled out."
The employee should have received the same training in meeting the company standard that other employees received.
The employer should be able to establish that the employee was aware that failure to meet the company standard would mean loss of his or her job. A warning notice which tells the employee that this is his/her "last chance" to salvage his/her employment is a good way of proving this.
Progressive discipline should be taken in all cases, except the most serious summary offenses.
Does the punishment fit the crime? The employer should consider the employee's past record, length of service and what the employer's past practice has been.
Discharge should never be "on the spot." Suspend first, investigate further, then decide.
Considering these matters prior to any decision can help minimize the legal risks associated with this highly regulated area of employment law. It may not be as quick as ripping off a bandage but, in the long run, it can help eliminate the sting of employment litigation. PI

When it's October, and the nights come quicker and the leaves are crunchier, millennials (and probably older people too, but they're less seasonally nostalgic) want to watch scary movies.
In ancient Greece, a ship became reason for much confusion. The Ship of Theseus, a thirty-oar structure, had been preserved for a long time. Then decay lead to a restoration process, where its old, sagging parts were replaced one by one.
With Fury starring Brad Pitt coming out this Friday, we look at five highly celebrated war films that have stood the test of time. They will be placed in chronological order. Check them out.
1. Apocalypse Now (1979)
She's So Lovely is about a love story, but that kind of love rarely exists in the real world. Maybe director Nick Cassavetes wants to let us forget about the real world and just watch his film to experience the crazy love that most people won't experience in their whole lives.
The concept of Bollywood has often been confused with romance. It is assumed that every Bollywood movie is a chapter from a mushy Danielle Steel novel or a whole lot of dance and sparkle.
With The Judge coming to theaters this Friday, here are five courtroom films that can't be missed. Disclaimer: I have not seen all the courtroom films ever made, but of the ones I have seen, here are the five most worth mentioning. This list is in chronological order.
1. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Movie lovers of Central New York, rejoice!
This Sunday, Oct. 5, marks the start of the 11th annual Syracuse International Film Festival. The fest runs from October 5-12, showcasing movies from India, Israel and Spain. It also features local talent.
Founded in 2003 by Syracuse University professor Owen Shapiro and wife Christine Fawcett-Shapiro, SIFF has expanded over the last decade to include year-round screenings and media-centered programs.
A nation is burning right now. As we sit in our pretty little homes fuming over petty little problems, millions in Syria are being snuffed out. And as we glance at the newspaper, a country where a civil war rages since 2011 finds no place. It is old news.
Talal Derki's documentary Return to Homs, which screened at the Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival last Saturday, is a reminder to the world to act.
American Vagabond is a touching story about the power of love and perseverance. It's a relatively short film that packs a punch in 85 minutes and can be a tearjerker if you get easily emotional.
Through A Lens Darkly, a documentary film given to us by director Thomas Allen Harris, kicked off the 12th annual Syracuse University Human Rights Film Festival on Thursday, Sept. 18. In it, photographs, interviews and historical footage are expertly woven into a montage exposing a hole in the history books where black photographers should be.

I'd forgotten how much Sig magazines cost.
So check this out, I'm cruising for some Sig mags and I find this.
$52!!!! I think not my friend.
CDNN has a slightly more reasonable deal at $25 for the 8 rounders but even at that, those are used.
Come on, the XD45 mags hold 13 rounds and will retail around $26. A single stack 7 or 8 round mag is just not that expensive to make, not even a good one. Brand new Wilson 47Ds are single stack .45 ACP mags and among the best in existence and they're around $27 new.
This is a bit much for me to stomach. Midway USA has the 8 rounder for $72!!!!!
That's absurd, it really is.

Installing Ubuntu and Arch Linux on 500gb external hard drive
- 03-05-2012 #2
It should be relatively straightforward. Boot into your Arch Linux installation disk, and during the installation process, select a custom partition table. Then give the mount point of / (just a slash, nothing else) to the Arch partition, which will make it the one where the data is installed. You can also give a mount point to your Ubuntu partition (for instance, /ubuntu or /media/ubuntu) so that it's automounted each time you start your Arch session and you can access the data.

Ok so I created a / partition in cfdisk in the Arch Linux installation. I then selected the packages I wanted and installed it. I didn't install grub since I wan't to boot from the grub in my ubuntu. So I updated the grub and next time I rebooted it found Arch Linux on dev/sda4 (which is the partition I assigned / to). I tried to boot it and cam with this error message:
Waiting 10 seconds for device dev/sda4 ...
Root device 'dev/sda4' doesn't exist. Attempting to recreate it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda4'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting

I would have let Arch remake the Grub, as I don't see why it would cause a problem...
It appears as if the error you're describing should mean that the partition is showing up as hda4 instead of sda4, described in the ArchLinux wiki here.
No need for a boot partition then, as the installation should have taken place correctly. Rebuild the grub using
Code:sudo update grub

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2012. I cannot get the darn thing to create an Etransmit file. I'm sure it is some setting that I'm missing, but for the life of me I can not find it! It runs everything just like it is creating the file, but when everything is done, there is no file. I thought maybe it is creating the file somewhere that I didn't tell it to create the file at, but I can't find the file any where on my computer. Has anyone seen this happen?
I don't have any trouble with release 2011. In fact that is what I'm doing now is closing out 2012 and opening the file(s) in 2011 and creating the etransmit there, because it works. Is this a bug for 2012? I don't know. Any answers??
Here is what I have for a standard setting file.
I would assign your Transmittal File Folder location to something you control, like your PC's own Windows Desktop, and see what you end up with. You seem to have multiple/unrelated D:\Documents\CDS Inc.\... folders and may be search in the wrong location.

V. Chandrashekhar and his wife Anupama, the Indian couple currently in Norwegian custody for "gross and repeated" maltreatment and abuse of their 7-year-old son Sai Sairam, may well be convicted on Wednesday by a court in Oslo.
Aften Posten, the respected Oslo daily, reported that the father faced charges of burning his son with a hot ladle, flogging him with a belt and repeatedly threatening him. According to the paper, the case is so serious the parents are unlikely to be let off without a prison sentence.
Kurt Lir, Head of the Oslo Prosecutor's office, said: "There were burn marks and scars on the body of the child, who has also been beaten by a belt."
But, Marte Svarstadt Brodtkorb, the lawyer for Anupama Chandrasekar, says that if the boy had been flogged the doctor who sees the child twice a week would have spotted the marks. Ms. Brodtkorb said she was preparing an appeal since it looked as if the couple might be convicted and sent to prison.
The lawyer also said there had been difficulties in translation. For instance, the child told the police the father had threatened to burn his tongue. Mr. Chandrashekhar said he was using an oft used metaphor — in Telugu it is said: "If you continue to tell lies your tongue will be burnt." But the police were in no mood to listen, the lawyer said.
Aften Posten, the Oslo daily, reported that the advocate of the father, Adeline Brenden-Veisal was highly critical of how the Indian couple was treated. "Their passports have been impounded and they have been dumped into jail," Ms. Brenden-Veisal told the paper.
She said the father came to Norway to work as an IT consultant in 2010. The rest of the family had no intentions of coming to Norway but because the son missed his dad, they came during the spring of 2011.
The son has behavioural issues. According to the lawyer, the family tried to seek help with the concerned authorities through the school but did not obtain any help.
"The father has acknowledged that he accidentally scalded his son with a hot spoon with which he had threatened him. This is not domestic violence per se," said Ms. Brenden-Veisal.
The mother and the child went back to India as the child became worse during his stay in Norway. The mother came back last weekend in order to participate in the court proceedings.
