(a) Service When required.
(1) In general. Other than service of a summons and complaint under Rule 4, each of the following documents must be served under this rule on every party, unless the rules provide otherwise:
(A) an order, unless the court orders otherwise;
(B) a pleading served after the original summons and complaint, unless the court orders otherwise under Rule 5(c) because there are numerous defendants;
(C) a discovery document required to be served on a party, unless the court orders otherwise;
(D) a written motion, except one that may be heard ex parte; and
(E) a written notice, appearance, demand, or offer of judgment, or any similar document; and
(F) every document filed with the clerk or submitted to the judge.
(2) If a party fails to appear. No service is required on a party who is in default for failing to appear. But a pleading that asserts a new claim for relief against such a party must be served on that party under Rule 4.
(3) Seizing property. If an action is begun by seizing property and no person is or need be named as a defendant, any service required before the filing of an answer, claim, or appearance must be made on the person who had custody or possession of the property when it was seized.
(b) Service -- How made.
(1) Service in general. A document that is required to be filed must be served electronically
under the procedure specified in N.D.R.Ct. 3.5. Electronic service on an attorney must be
made to the designated e-mail service address posted on the N.D. Supreme Court website.
Electronic service is complete on transmission, but is not. Except as
provided in N.D.R.Ct.
3.5(e)(4), electronic service is not effective if the serving party learns through any means
the document did not reach the person to be served.
(2) Persons Served.
(A) Service on a Party Represented by an Attorney. If a party is represented by an attorney, service under this rule must be made on the attorney unless the court orders service on the party. If an attorney is providing limited representation under Rule 11(e), service must be made on the party and on the attorney for matters within the scope of the limited representation.
(B) Persons Exempt from Electronic Service. Persons who are exempt from electronic service and filing under N.D.R.Ct. 3.5 must serve documents under Rule 5(b)(3).
(3) Other Service. A document that is not required to be filed, or that will be served on a person exempt from electronic service, is served under this rule by:
(A) handing it to the person;
(B) leaving it:
(i) at the person's office with a clerk or other person in charge, or, if no one is in charge, leaving it in a conspicuous place in the office; or
(ii) if the person has no office or the office is closed at the person's dwelling or usual place of abode with someone of suitable age and discretion who resides there;
(C) mailing it to the person's last known address, in which event service is complete upon mailing;
(D) sending it by a third-party commercial carrier to the person's last known address, in which event service is complete upon deposit of the document to be served with the commercial carrier;
(E) if no address is known, on order of the court by leaving it with the clerk of the court;
(F) sending it by electronic means if the person consented in writing, in which event service is complete on transmission, but is not effective if the serving party learns that it did not reach the person to be served; or
(G) delivering it by any other means that the person consented to in writing.
(c) Serving numerous defendants.
(1) In general. If an action involves an unusually large number of defendants, the court may, on motion or on its own, order that:
(A) defendants' pleadings and replies to them need not be served on other defendants;
(B) any crossclaim, counterclaim, avoidance, or affirmative defense in those pleadings and replies to them will be treated as denied or avoided by all other parties; and
(C) filing any such pleading and serving it on the plaintiff constitutes notice of the pleading to all parties.
(2) Notifying parties. A copy of every such order must be served on the parties as the court directs.
(d) Filing.
(1) In general. Unless a statute, court rule, or court order provides otherwise, all documents in an action must be filed with the clerk electronically, through the Odyssey® system.
(2) Initiating pleading.
(A) The Summons and Complaint.
(i) The summons and complaint, or other initiating pleading, must be filed before a subpoena may be issued. Unless otherwise authorized by rule or statute, a party seeking to file an initiating pleading must provide proof that the pleading was served under Rule 4. The proof of service must be filed with the initiating pleading.
(ii) A party who files a complaint or other initiating pleading must serve notice of filing on the other parties.
(iii) The defendant may demand that the plaintiff file the complaint.
Service of the demand must be made under Rule 5(b) on the plaintiff's attorney or under Rule 4(d) on the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney.
In cases with multiple defendants, service of a demand by one defendant is effective for all the defendants.
If the plaintiff does not file the complaint within 20 days after service of the demand, service of the summons is void.
The demand must contain notice that if the complaint is not filed within 20 days, service of the summons will be void, unless, after motion made within 60 days after service of the demand for filing, the court finds excusable neglect.
(iv) The defendant may file the summons and complaint, and the costs incurred on behalf of the plaintiff may be taxed as provided in Rule 54(e).
(B) The Answer. Within a reasonable time after service of the notice of filing the complaint or initiating pleading, the defendant or respondent must file the answer and notify the plaintiff of the filing.
(3) Discovery materials. A party must not file discovery materials with the clerk unless:
(A) the materials are being submitted to the court for disposition of a pending motion;
(B) the court orders them to be filed; or
(C) a party certifies that the filing is necessary for safekeeping of the documents or exhibits pending case completion, in which event the party must state the reasons safekeeping is necessary.
(4) Return of discovery materials.
(A) The clerk shall return the following documents to the filing party upon final disposition of an appeal or, if no appeal is filed, upon expiration of the time for appeal:
(i) depositions;
(ii) interrogatories;
(iii) requests for admission;
(iv) requests for interrogatories;
(v) requests for production of documents; and
(vi) answers and responses to the above documents.
(B) If the filing party does not claim a filed document within 60 days after notification to do so, the clerk may dispose of the document as directed by court order.
(C) The clerk must take a receipt for all documents returned.
(5) Documents to be used on hearing. Unless otherwise directed by the court, all affidavits, notices, and other document designed to be used on the hearing of a motion or order to show cause must be filed at least 24 hours before the hearing.
(6) Failure to comply. If a party fails to comply with this subdivision, the court, on motion of any party or its own motion, may order the document to be filed. If the order is not obeyed, the court may order them to be regarded as stricken and their service to be ineffective.
(7) Rejection. Except as otherwise provided under Rules 13, 14, or 15, the clerk must reject for filing any document that adds a party to an action or proceeding without a court order. The clerk must endorse on the document a notation that it is rejected for filing under this rule and return the document to the person who tendered it for filing.
(e) Removal of pleadings for service. Upon a filing party's request, an original pleading or
paper document in any civil action, which by law is required to be filed in the
clerk of court's
office where the action is pending, may be removed from the files for the purpose of serving
it either inside or outside the state but must be returned without delay.
(f) Proof of service. Proof of service under this rule is made as provided in Rule 4 or by an attorney's or court personnel's certificate showing that service was made under subdivision (b).
Rule 5 was amended effective 1971, July 1, 1981; March 1, 1986; January 1, 1988; March 1, 1990; March 1, 1992, on an emergency basis; March 1, 1994; January 1, 1995; March 1, 1998; March 1, 1999; March 1, 2003; March 1, 2008; March 1, 2009; March 1, 2011; March 1, 2013; April 1, 2013;___________________.
Rule 5 applies to service of documents other than "process." In contrast, Rule 4 governs civil jurisdiction and service of process. When a statute or rule requiring service does not pertain to service of process, nor require personal service under Rule 4, nor specify how service is to be made, service may be made as provided in Rule 5(b). An example of a rule that requires a particular type of service is N.D.R.Ct. 11.2, which specifies that attorneys seeking to withdraw from representation must give notice to their client "by personal service, by registered or certified mail, or via a third-party commercial carrier providing a traceable delivery."
Subdivision (a) was amended, effective March 1, 2008, to improve organization and to make the subdivision easier to understand.
Paragraph (b)(1) was amended, effective March 1, 2009, to make it clear that, when an attorney has served notice of limited representation under Rule 11(e), service of documents on the attorney is not required except for documents within the scope of the limited representation. Rule 5, Rule 11 and N.D.R.Ct. 11.2, were amended to permit attorneys to assist otherwise self-represented parties on a limited basis without undertaking full representation of the party.
Paragraph (b)(1) was amended, effective _________________, to require any electronic service on an attorney to be made to the attorney's designated e-mail address as posted on the North Dakota Supreme Court website.
Paragraph (b)(2) was amended, effective April 1, 2013, to specify that electronic service through the Odyssey® system under the procedure specified in N.D.R.Ct. 3.5 is required for most documents that will be filed with the court.
Paragraph (b)(3) was amended, effective March 1, 2009, to provide for service by electronic means and to improve organization. Parties seeking to serve documents by electronic means must consult N.D.R.Ct. 3.5 for electronic service instructions.
Paragraph (b)(3) was amended, effective April 1, 2013, to specify that the other means of service listed in the paragraph apply only when the document served is not required to be filed or when it will be served on a person exempt from electronic service.
Subdivision (b) was amended, effective March 1, 1999, to permit service via a third-party commercial carrier as an alternative to the Postal Service. The requirement for a "third-party commercial carrier" means the carrier may not be a party to nor interested in the action, and it must be the regular business of the carrier to make deliveries for profit. A law firm may not act as or provide its own commercial carrier service with service complete upon deposit. In addition, the phrase "commercial carrier" does not include electronic delivery services.
Paragraph (d)(1) was amended, March 1, 2008, to delete a reference to the note of issue and certificate of readiness.
Paragraph (d)(1) was amended, effective April 1, 2013, to specify that filing must be accomplished electronically through the Odyssey® system unless a statute, rule or order provides otherwise.
Subparagraph (d)(2)(A) was amended, effective March 1, 2013, to require that proof of service be provided and filed by a party seeking to file an initiating pleading. Under Rule 3, an action is commenced on service of the initiating pleading, not on filing. Unless a rule specifically provides otherwise, service under Rule 4 must be accomplished before any pleadings in an action may be filed.
Subparagraph (d)(2)(A) was amended, effective March 1, 2013, to include language allowing the defendant to demand filing of the complaint or to file the complaint itself. This language was transferred from Rule 4.
Subparagraph (d)(2)(A) was amended, effective April 1, 2013, to clarify that any party who files a complaint or other initiating pleading must serve notice on the other parties in the matter. Service of the summons must be made under Rule 4.
Subdivision (f) was amended, effective March 1, 2003, to permit proof of service to be made by court personnel as well as by an attorney. Proof of service may also be made in the same manner as provided by Rule 4(i).
Rule 5 was amended, effective March 1, 2011, in response to the December 1, 2007, revision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The language and organization of the rule were changed to make the rule more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules.
Rule 5 was amended, effective April 1, 2013, to replace the term "paper" with "document" throughout the rule.

Italy's economy may have grown slowly while Berlusconi was in power.
A more pertinent question is this:
How did his personal economy do? Better, perhaps?
No reason to feel outraged on this behaviour by The Economist or any other newspaper. Should we claim our own right ... to be further fooled by that self-caricature of a politician and even of a businessman?
Nothing more than we already knew. The fellow has often proved himself being a mobster, using politics as the own tool. His backers are the usual loyal yes-people. No use to tag anybody else ideologically. No reason to defend this man. Shall we support such a fellow just for fear of Communism? If ever, should we try to escape from a danger, just keeping a similar wrongdoer by long tradition, on power?
I wonder why the court in USA has to come in leave Italy for now. What happens then is MAOIST comes in when you force all to the wall The best yet to come. USA steps in the economy??? A closely watched ruling by Germany's Federal Constitutional Court could trip up European leaders' efforts to calm the region's debt crisis. The court _ akin to the Supreme Court in the US _ will decide Wednesday whether or not it will allow Germany to join the European Stability Mechanism _ a new, permanent (euro) 500 billion ($638.8 billion) bailout fund for the 17 countries that use the euro. I am not too sure why the USA court has to come in the picture as Obama once had said he has nothing to do with the EURO as the matter at the time of election is very sensitive to speak on economy that USA has now and to tell we will help you in Greece Italy Spain etc Citigroup Inc expects to report a noncash charge of $2.9 billion after taxes to reflect a lower value for its brokerage joint venture with Morgan Stanley, the bank said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday. And then in the end what happens the Sociology creeps in Greece's privatisation agency HRADF pushed ahead with a string of state asset sales on Tuesday, putting an end to five months of inactivity caused by the country's political wobbles. HRADF shortlisted four companies, including Qatari Diar Real Estate as well as British-based London and Regional Properties for a landmark, multi-billion euro project to develop the former Athens airport of Hellenikon, it said in a statement. The fund also said it was in the final stretch to seek binding bids for a 90-year lease of a shopping mall that formerly served as the broadcasting centre for the Athens 2004 Olympics (IBC). I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA Greece Spain , Italy all in one pot Mao laughs Is that it? Silvio has no problem as a playboy and he had enough of the three world then now and later but the economy?
If only Silvio had put as much resources into properly governing Italy as he did any of his bedside projects.
some politicians get addicted to the Camera's and the lifestyle of "men in power"........... it seems that Silvio didnt get over it yet........ however he should know that the EU is very much over him....!
otherwise Italy would be like Greece now...!
What a brilliantly scathing article. This leaves no doubt in the mind of anyone, scotching mumbled rejoinders made by Silvio apologists. As for "Cash will do nicely, Silvio
He may have heard that phrase before, but at least we kept our clothes on", I chuckled.
May I add just a quick correction to the last comment. The Libyan economy actually did significantly better than Italy.
Download GDP growth data from the World Bank from 2001 and 2011 (the prime time for Silvio), compound the growth rates and organize them in ascending order. Zimbabwe is truly the worst with
-34% compounded growth rate, Italy is 24th worst with 4.23% (being just slightly better than Iraq), but Libya is actually 100th worst with 46%. What this means is that Libya did better than Italy and 75 other countries (including USA, UK, Germany, France and the rest of the major Western economies).
Did North Korea grow faster?
no data unfortunately for North Korea.
The Economist sure can hold a grudge.
That being said:
"Cash will do nicely, Silvio-
He may have heard that phrase before, but at least we kept our clothes on."
I lol'd.
Is it me or does this article strike you as entirely self congratulatory and smug? Not that it shouldn't be with TE doing a fine job of putting one of Italy's worst PM's in his place but still, you could have just summarised the whole article by writing: 'Told you so'
Are we to take it that, economically, North Korea out-performed Italy?
At least Samson is singing if all are crying I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA look at the mass , the population then you know India China has the land Korea has man and the young one who just rules how I have no idea but the IT is good I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
Congratulations to the Economist!
Since when do people send congratulations to hanger-ons, undertakers, gravediggers and morticians?
Since now!
The author of the article against Berlusconi is a low-down liar and a cheat; he paid no regard to truth, not to any kind of moral obligation. He has the ethical sense of a pack of jackals. This magazine has conducted for many years a campaign against Berlusconi based on lies, sham, hype and distortion. Its editor is betraying all decent principles. He only trivializes and deceives.
So does anyone have an idea what to call the paid commenters from Italy. We already have the 50 cent army for china, but this is the first I have seen from Europe.
I don't understand your English. Try again!
The half-euro posse?
Silvio noster, qui es in arcoris, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in italia et in europa.......
Silvio noster, qui es in arcoris, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in italia et in europa.......
Si flectere nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo. Stat sua cuique dies.
Yes you are right...The Berlusconi's government has been the best we have ever had....Please shut up!! The sham is what I'd like to be when going abroad people say: "Mafia!! Bunga Bunga !! Berlusconi Italiano mafioso"....15 years of nothing, soaring public debt , doubling public expenditure, doing useless (for the country, but useful for him) ad-personam laws....Excuse me but where are the lies??All is true, where does his wealth come from? Why didn't he face legal processes?? Harlot blow-jobber ministers, Do you know Mara Carfagna, Stefania Prestigiacomo, Mariastella Gelmini?? Do you know Vittorio Mangano "Lo stalliere di Arcore" ( a mafious hosted for long time in the Berlusconi's residence in Arcore)? What do you know about him?? I think really few, the task of a newspaper is just to say true things.....and it is what "The Economist" has just done, asking questions that a normal person should be willing to answer, he lost in court, once more, it is true. This is not a denigratory campaign this is just the truth, Berlusconi denigrated himself 15 years ago, just you and some other few stupid Italians (they are coming to be always fewer) cannot believe....
Granted that what you write is oonly crap a by-product of a mentally retarded brain, we must point out that the pure and simple truth is completely different and is as follows:
Berlusconi has had nothing to do with the Mafia since he is a Milanese and only Southerners can affiliate with the Mafia which is a Sicilian criminal organisation. The Italian huge public debt was built by Italian leftists with the help of the red Trade Unions and the Catholic Church. All the proceedings initiated against Berlusconi by criminal left prosecutors have come to naught and he has always been acquitted of every charge made up by the same red prosecutors. The women you have named are very respectable women, something we cannot sure say of your mother, your wife and your sister. Berlusconi's wealth has come from lawful activity. Where does your wealth come from? You are also not only a low-down liar, but the reason brothers and sisters shouldn't marry.
Longman, descending into personal insults is something that is acceptable on Italian TV, but it is not part of the rules on fair play and respect for others that define political discussion in other parts of Europe. Shame on you.
As for Berlusconi's acquittals most of them were on the basis of statutes of limitations, not the absence of guilt.
Have you forgotten your polite espressions you moron have used in your post? Here they are ".....Harlot blow-jobber ministers, Do you know Mara Carfagna, Stefania Prestigiacomo, Mariastella Gelmini?"....These are your exquisite, elegant statements. You idiot ought to be ashemed of yourself!
Fair enough, I suppose. Had I written any of those words.But I DID NOT. 'Fabio M' did.
Please, try to read before becoming aggressive. I think the tone of both your and his post is a bit above the line.
If you aren't Fabio M why do you interfer and reply my comments then? You shouldn't have butted in on a conversation which was no concern of yours! Scrammm!
Bacause this is a forum for discussion among people that have read the article. Not a ring for the resolution of personal feuds. But I guess you don't necessarily appreciate that.
So please, carry on with your Commedia all'Italiana and yes, I will stay out of it, like I stay out of Italy when faced with how hopeless it is to try and reason with those that I considered fellow countrymen.
I'm not your countryman. I'm a German although I have been living in Tuscany for more than 30 years. I like Tuscany and South Tyrol. Commedia all'Italiana is perhaps something which would suit you more than me.

A September 5 2008 dispatch by Reuters on the first Berlusconi vs TE libel trial read:
"'They (The Economist's arguments) fully fall within the right to criticise, which is guaranteed by Article 21 of the constitution,' Milan Judge Angelo Ricciardi wrote, in a copy of the ruling provided to Reuters by The Economist."
Is it too subtle a distinction to notice that this is not exactly the same as finding that TE's strictures were factually well-grounded (which indeed they had mostly turned out later not to be)?
Of course, to spontaneously draw attention to such an inconvenient difference would require almost superhuman honesty on TE's part. Yet, to advertise now the whole thing as a judicial full endorsement of what the paper had originally written might appear to some as verging on the openly misleading.
Isn't it high time to finally drop such cheap score-setting tricks? After all, Mr B's real flaws are by now very well known to all and sundry, and his political career is practically over. Parce sepultis.
Sir, one would think that in any country a judge would start from the Constitution: that is what provides clear indication of law.
I would not expect a judge to enter the subject matter if higher level piece of legislation (such as any Constitution) is applicable.
I do not know this Article 21 specifically, but it is likely to be one about freedom of expression, one right that is upheld most dearly in all democracies. And thus one Italians should be happy to read about in this judge's statement.
A quite agree with you, thank you. (By the way, the first clause of article 21 of Italy's Constitution reads: "All have the right to freely express their thinking in words, writing and any other diffusion mean". This covers bona fide — though possibly incorrect — inferences drawn from the incomplete information available at the time of TE's original writing.)
As a matter of fact, I was not criticising the sentence, but its seemingly disingenuous interpretation as an endorsement of the factual accuracy of TE's charges against Mr B, which clearly it was not.
He has been pronounced dead many times before. The first was in 1994, after the collapse of his first government. Then again in 1996, following the first defeat inflicted on him by Prodi. And again in 2006.... Wait and see.
Which clearly it was, or it would have constituted false statement, and that is the base for every judgement in cases of libeling, as the article no. 21 of the Italian constitution guarantee freedom of expression, not of lying.
So, reading again the Reuters note: "They (The Economist's arguments) fully fall within the right to criticise", which means: they are true, or otherwise they will not "fully fall" within the right, and it will not be "criticise" in the very first place.
The idea that freedom of thought should be only restricted to "true" thought is the hallmark of all totalitarian tyrannies and has certainly no place within Italy's Constitution. On the contrary, it's the feature that twentieth-century Marxism-Leninism (and Fascism) shared with medieval religious fundamentalism (still promoted by to-day's prevailing Islamic sects). Yet all tolerably literate people should by now be in a position to recognise that — a part from being intellectually untenable — such an idea is simply inconsistent with everybody's liberty. Like the inability to distinguish between lying and mistakes.
That a paper of the tradition and standing of TE (perhaps unwittingly and in the pursuit of a rather petty quarrel) should be now finding itself implicitly peddling such an idea seems hence not very much less than disgraceful.
Mr. Ferretti does not seem to grasp the difference between "freedom of thought" and "freedom of expression", among many other things. Among which: what is and what is not intellectually tenable, the idea of what constitutes a proficient distribution of "liberty" among people in any structured society, what constitutes "libeling" (a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation.) and what is the Italian constitution all about. Which is obviously not about: "Do whatever the heck you like", otherwise it would have been much shorter and have only that precise line. Instead it has plenty of articles stating clearly what it is NOT doable, or legitimate, exactly limiting everybody's freedom to pursue the "dream" of a decent common living.
And one last thing: everyone is, at all time, "implicitly peddling" everything. Therefore the praise is to either be specific, or to stop bullshitting (can I say "bullshitting" on the comments?). The question on the table is Mr. Berlusconi suing The Economist for libeling (which is, I repeat, the publishing of false statement etc) and getting slammed on the face (again), since what TE published is either true, or not damaging the Berla's reputation (a whoremonger is a whoremonger is a whoremonger, if he is you can call him such, and I am just having a casual train of thoughts, here, no specific reference to anyone), most probably both. You stated that:
"Is it too subtle a distinction to notice that this is not exactly the same as finding that TE's strictures were factually well-grounded (which indeed they had mostly turned out later not to be)?" Not to subtle, simply preposterous. The TE's strictures had to be factually well-grounded or else they would have lost the case, which they did not, but we still have one interesting statement you ought to demonstrate: "which they indeed they had mostly turned out later not to be". I will be awaiting any evidence supporting this your last statement eagerly.
Your attempted contrast between "freedom of thought" and "freedom of expression" seems a distinction without a difference, with no merit at all. Besides, you are obviously not very familiar with the Italian law of libel. As any textbook of Italian criminal law will plainly explain to you, the offence has a subjective element called "dolo", i.e. the intention to slander: just mere objective untruth of allegations — not known for certain by the indicted person at the time of writing — is not enough. This was very relevant in this case, because some of the allegations TE originally published against Mr B had later been judicially declared to be not true or not proven, through full acquittal (as opposed to mere prescription or change of law). Had this not been the case, the trial judge of the Mr B-TE case would have had no need to quote a constitutional freedom of thought principle to find in favour of TE: the mere proven truthfulness of the allegations would by itself have been quite enough.
Your stubborn and confused attempt to obfuscate this simple state of affairs may seem strange and not very rational or useful in itself.
To win a case against Berlusconi in Italy where the court was composed of red, biased and one-sided judges, is not a deed to be proud of and would never pass into legend. Such a ridicolous sentence should be thrown in the garbage instead.
'red, biased one-sided judges'.
Longman I think you must be referring to China. Or do you actually believe any of the nonsense that Berlusconi vomits on Italian magistrates on a regular basis?
'red, biased one-sided judges'.
Longman I think you must be referring to China. Or do you actually believe any of the nonsense that Berlusconi vomits on Italian magistrates on a regular basis?
That among the Italian judges there is a polically aware motley crew of leftist judges who have put all their efforts into fighting Berlusconi because of his marked anti-communism and his being a formidable obstacle on the leftists' road to their assumption of power in Italy, is a common knowledge...... in Italy.
Most judges come from South Italy where crime is reigning and all inhabitants are more or less affected by this cancer and so also the judges are mentally on the same wavelenght as the criminals they should fight. Like fathers like sons. It could happen that some judge is killed by the organised crime but that happens only because he didn't keep to the unwritten agremeent among southerners (State and Mafia). The gap among crime and justice in Italy is very thin. We must also consider that a great number of judges are affiliated with left-wing parties or are sympathizing with the leftists. The same problem is found in the bureaucracy where most executives and civil servants come from South Italy with their rotten mentality. Of course there are exception to the rule.
It is common knowledge among the ones that have been brainwashed by his media in all these years.
Exception to the rule like the former President of Sicily Salvatore Cuffaro that is in jail for helping the Mafia? And he was the guy that smeared Falcone, just before he was killed by the Mafia. Guess who he was allied with? No surprises there, crooks attract crooks.
To win a case against Berlusconi in Italy where the court was composed of red, biased and one-sided judges, is not a deed to be proud of and would never pass into legend. Such a ridicolous sentence should be thrown in the garbage instead with those wretched judges who passed it .
Don't forget that Cuffaro and Falcone also Sicilians are/were and the rendering of accounts among Sicilians more or less in odour of Mob is rather widespread. Simple showdowns among old pals.
Fortunately, with the new government elected by the people of... khm, well, Goldman Sachs and the ECB... things are heading for a brighter and more dynamic future. Surely a small step for The Economist, but a gigantic leap for Italy and Southern Europe!

VIA support is STILL not there and Michael STILL keeps reporting it and the public pretty much STILL doesn't care and won't care cause VIA is dead.
Phoronix: VIA Kernel Mode-Setting Still Not Ready For Mainline
It's been several months since having anything to report on the state of VIA graphics under Linux. VIA hasn't been doing anything officially to better their Linux support and the "OpenChrome" development community is quite limited and small. While the long-in-development OpenChrome DRM driver for providing VIA kernel mode-setting support has yet to be merged into the mainline code-base, it's still being developed...
VIA support is STILL not there and Michael STILL keeps reporting it and the public pretty much STILL doesn't care and won't care cause VIA is dead.
VIA graphics were only used on laptops.
Now modern Intel and AMD processors come with an integrated GPU, so you won't be seeing any new hardware with VIA graphics.
Not only, I have htpc on via nano and I do care about openchrome. The only problem I have is that I have no idea how graphic cards work, so i can only contribute by debugging/patching obvious things.
So - keep up the track and hopefully we''l reach the point. Btw right now Simon patched EDID stuff - will try if my TV can now be seen by openchrome
i have also a motherboard with via processor, via ve-900 with dual core via nano,via vx900 and I'm very happy to use linux on this
I know of a good hand full of tower desktops at schools that have via gpu.

anyone hunted unit 40 for elk in CO?? if so how was it, any big bulls, hows the public land? thanks for any help.
anyone hunted unit 40 for elk in CO?? if so how was it, any big bulls, hows the public land? thanks for any help.
There are some giants in the unit, but it is mostly pivate. The last couple of years have been rough on the public (NF).
I have deer hunted there quite a bit. I have seen some big elk the biggest I have ever seen was around 370. However, I have gone a couple days at a time without seeing elk. There is a lot of private land. However, I think if you hunted for 6 days or so you would have a good chance at a 320-340 class bull, from what I have seen anyway.
COhunter....Muley Hunter (Quinton) definitely knows his stuff about Unit 40!
Quinton, glad to see you on Eastman's, I didn't know you were a member. Glad you are on here!
Last edited by Umpqua Hunter; 02-10-2013 at 08:13 PM.
Lots of private, if you pay the big money, you will have a good chance at a trophy at a private ranch. If you are DIY and are trying the public land, it would be very tough and you would not be alone trying to snipe a good bull crossing public. That is what I have found in researching the area.
Interesting. I'm Muley Hunter on 3 other forums. This is the first time i've seen another one.
Thanks Jim ! I have been on here for a little while, but I haven't shared much.
Old Hunter I noticed that on the other sites also and i may have even stole it from you !!
Don't listen to him your honor! I'm innocent I tell ya!!

Voila! New resin capstan foundation and bow buoyancy vent. I cast the vent with a square foundation per the original article (see images above). I'll probably wind up replacing the one by the bullnose as well so they will match. I had hoped to open it up underneath to actually use it as a vent but the resin is very thin. The capstan is in its correct position on the center-line. Though you can see it in the image, I've already removed the kit piece from the deck.
Speaking of which, for anyone interested in doing these types of mods and removing raised features from the deck, I've found that it is pretty easy to do. I took down most of the capstan piece with a Dremel sanding drum, scraped it close to the deck with an X-Acto, then finished up with a sanding block of coarse sandpaper. Once removed, the plastic underneath winds up very smooth, almost like the raised part was added as a separate piece during production. Anyway, it isn't hard. Counting those tiny deck holes is hard.

Been hearing the Brainac rumors for sometime now. That tentacle thing in the trailer last month had me thinking Brainac.
As for this spot, the only thing I can say is:
Heat Vision!!! Hells yeah!
Been hearing the Brainac rumors for sometime now. That tentacle thing in the trailer last month had me thinking Brainac.
As for this spot, the only thing I can say is:
Heat Vision!!! Hells yeah!
redhairs-i agree... "Heat Vision" scene was sick looking. THis is going to be the greatest Superman movie ever by FAR
That shit is effing mouth watering.
My body is reeady, must meditate and get my mind ready
I feel like a giddy little girl. Like I did last year for Avengers. This feeling is beginning to happen too often :)
HEAT VISION!!!!! YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!! Now this is the kind of trailer that gets me PUMPED. I cannot wait. This is going to be so sweet.
I am calling that this will make as much or more cash than Iron Man 3. Yeah, go ahead and scoff. Supes is more world famous than Iron Man 100 times over.
All I know is that there's going to be so much crow eating that GOT is gonna have to use cgi crows for their show
Agreed with all comments...I was one of those that was very dispointed with the last Supes movie along with many others...This is the supes movie we all have been eager for and as you can see, our patience has won out, thanks Zak and Christopher for hearing the fans voices and giving us something EPIC!!!
I think everyone can relax after hearing and reading nothing but complaints about how we had not gotten a full trailer to this movie a while back ago, well the speculatin as to why or why not can be put to rest because this looks fanstastic and I know it's only a trailer but still, it looks great so far...
Superman is back baby!!! I'm excited for all the CBM this year, but I CANNOT wait for this movie!!! Bring it!!!!
OMFG Wow this looks amazing, I have not seen such majesty since Obama ran for office and people were swooning about him. Same reaction by fans here. Tell me is it the tight fitting unitard or something other than that. Or is it just the thought of and supremely easily beatable character being brought to the big screen again?
Best thing that happen to Superman is have Batman beat his ass.

Appeals court upholds Moonlight decision
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a district court decision denying an injunction for the Moonlight-Wheeler Fire Recovery and Restoration Project.
The appeals court found "the record shows that the district court correctly applied" legal precedent "in its analysis throughout its thoroughly reasoned opinion."
Environmental group Earth Island Institute (EII) had filed suit in July 2009 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California to stop
Background The Wheeler Fire, part of the Antelope Complex of fires, burned in July 2007. The Moonlight Fire burned 66,000 acres—the largest wildfire in recorded Plumas County history—beginning in September 2007. In June 2008, the John Muir Project of the Earth Island Institute filed an administrative appeal of the Moonlight roadside hazard logging decision. The Forest Service wanted to use a categorical exclusion to exempt it from having to do an environmental analysis of the project. EII argued such an analysis was needed for a project that was "fundamentally about salvage logging large trees." In September 2008, the Forest Service withdrew its decision to proceed with the roadside hazard project. Six weeks later, the parties entered an agreement in which the Forest Service said it would include the roadside activities in a new draft environmental study for the larger Moonlight-Wheeler project. Soon thereafter, the Forest Service signed the record of decision for the project, choosing alternative A. This authorized the harvest of fire-killed trees on approximately 14,755 acres of the approximately 41,000 acres of high-severity burn areas using both ground- and air-based harvesting methods. The Forest Service subsequently awarded five logging contracts to local companies. Earth Island filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to stop the Forest Service from implementing all aspects of the project, including the felling, removal and sale of any trees except in emergency hazard circumstances. The district court denied Earth Island's motion. EII appealed the decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. |
the Moonlight project proposed by the Plumas National Forest. The group asked the court to enjoin the Forest Service from awarding, beginning or continuing the operation of any timber sales related to the project.
United States District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. issued his opinion in August 2009 denying the injunction.
Damrell's opinion relied heavily on a 2008 Supreme Court decision, Winter v. NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). Damrell ruled that EII had not met the legal standard for a preliminary injunction.
As outlined in the Winter decision, a plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must meet four criteria: that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims; it is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; the balance of equities must tip in its favor; and the injunction must be in the public interest.
Damrell found that EII had failed all of these tests. The appeals court found that he had appropriately applied the Winter standards. One judge on the three-judge appeal panel dissented.
The decision has a greater effect moving forward as precedent than it does on the ground presently. According to Forest Service spokeswoman Lee Anne Schramel, because there was never an injunction, the agency went ahead with the work, which is now virtually complete.
In a move that could affect future salvage logging on private timberlands, EII and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition last month to have the black-backed woodpecker protected under the state Endangered Species Act.
The bird prefers post-fire ecosystems, nesting in burned trees and feeding on insects that attack fire-killed or weakened trees.
The petition claims the woodpecker is at risk of extinction because of a lack of burned forests in the state, the result of a century of fire suppression and, more recently, salvage logging.
In its Moonlight case, EEI claimed the black-backed woodpecker was one of the species the Forest Service did not adequately consider in its environmental analysis. Both Damrell and the 9th Circuit found that the agency had.
The Forest Service currently considers the bird a "sensitive" species.

Difficult to install I used all three just trying to install this screen protector on my iPhone. I was unable to to install it without having bubbles leftover under the film. Also, the plastic tool for smoothing it out left scratches on the cover of the film. I used up all three trying to install this perfectly. In the end I was not satisfied with the result and threw them all away. Might be a good product for someone who is not picky about a small amount of bubbles or scratches on the film.

Screen Protector Thank the lord that it was a 3 pack. It took me 3 tries to finally get it on my phone. I'm sure other products like this do the same thing. Also, the measurements are slightly off so it comes up a little at the bottom. All in all, I'm satisfied because it protects my screen and was affordable.

Cell Phone Buying Guide
The cell phone industry is complicated because customers' needs are so complicated. Cell phone shopping doesn't need to be painful.

Best Cell Phone Features
With the bevy of options and features now available in cell phones, it's easy to find one perfect for you. Before you begin searching for your next cell phone, take the time to think about what you need your phone to do. Below, you'll learn the best cell phone features. Camera: Cell phone cameras can be quite handy when you happen upon a special moment without a regular digital camera on hand. Most camera phones don't take very high-resolution (usually 1.3 megapixel) pictures, but there are some that top out over 3 megapixels. Some cell phone cameras even have small flashes. If you want a camera phone, find out if it comes with the cable and software to connect to your computer, so you don't have to spend extra for a separate program. Video: Usually, camera phones that play video will also record video. Some non-camera cell phones also play video. Look to see if you can transfer movies from your phone to your computer. Web browsing: Many cell phones let you connect to the Internet. Most use Wireless Access Protocol (WAP), which allows the phone to connect to pages specifically designed for cell phones. There are many phones with full browsers, however, that allow you to view regular Web pages. Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a technology that allows you to transfer data wirelessly between devices. Wireless cell phone headsets use this technology, and it can also be used to transfer pictures, ringtones and other data between two cell phones or between cell phones and computers. Games: There are cell phones out there that have been designed with the gamer in mind, allowing you to download games that would compare to those found on a personal gaming system. Office software: Most cell phones feature some sort of a calendar and alarm. You can set a wake-up alarm or you can make it alert you for your next appointment. Other phones allow you to make notes for each appointment. Some let you create documents that can be transferred to your computer's word processor or spreadsheet. MP3 player: More and more cell phones are also MP3 players. Check to see if you need special headphones for listening (and if they're included), and pay attention to the phone's memory capacity. Memory expansion: Some phones, usually video or MP3 player phones, feature memory card slots, so you can save pictures, music or other files on removable flash memory. Voice dialing: If you absolutely have to use your cell phone while driving, you'll want one with voice dialing. The phone recognizes the contact you speak and places the call, allowing you to keep your eyes where they belong: on the road. Buy Cell Phones Back to Guides Directory Buy Cell Phones

Rangers, Rays out to break Wild Card deadlock
Texas hopes Holland can rebound; Archer coming off shutout start
The Rangers and Rays enter Wednesday night's game against one another in a tie for the top spot in the American League Wild Card race, and no one knows what to expect from there.
One thing we do know, however, is that the Rangers need lefty Derek Holland to be the best he can be down the stretch, and the Rays need the same from rookie right-hander Chris Archer.
The two will be facing each other in a highly anticipated September pennant-race barn-burner at Tropicana Field.
Holland needs to break out of a recent, poorly timed slump. He's coming off the shortest outing of his season, which came last Friday when he lasted all of three innings and 49 pitches against the A's and gave up six runs on eight hits.
The early departure made him 0-3 with a 10.13 ERA in three September starts and a .379 opponents' batting average. In 120 career starts, this was only the eighth time Holland failed to pitch more than three innings, and only the third time he did not throw at least 50 pitches.
"Despite what happened in the Oakland game, I still saw a lot of positives," Holland said. "My bullpens since then have been great, getting my mechanics in shape, finishing my pitches and hitting my spots. It just seems like I wasn't getting all the way through the ball."
Added manager Ron Washington: "I have comfidence in him. My only concern is I'd like him to improve on his command, especially his fastball. If he can put his fastball where he wants it, he's going to throw a dandy for us."
Archer, on the other hand, made his last start look easy. He earned his ninth win of the year by throwing shutout ball over six innings vs. the Twins last Friday, striking out seven and not issuing a walk.
The outing was a bounce-back effort for the 24-year-old, who has thrown the most innings this year -- 166 -- of his professional career and had suffered two rough losses prior to the rebound effort against Minnesota.
"You just want to keep maintaining the number of throws he has left in the season," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I think he looked sharp in his last outing. His fastball command is getting better, and the changeup was good last time. I don't have any preconceived notions other than to watch him closely."
Archer doesn't seem to mind.
"I don't think there's any difference in velocity or my stuff," Archer said. "I guess I've thrown more innings, but that's how it is when you're younger. You keep throwing 20 or 30 percent more, but you're not weaker. I threw 160 innings last year, and I'm at 166."
Rangers: Homers finally happen
Texas had gone homerless in seven straight games, the longest drought since going eight games without a homer from Aug. 10-17, 1990, prior to Tuesday, but the Rangers erupted with a trio of dingers. Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus and Leonys Martin all went deep in the Rangers' 7-1 win.
• Outfielder Alex Rios stole second base in the fourth inning of Monday night's game and is perfect in 11 steal attempts for Texas and 18-for-18 overall since the All-Star break.
• Rangers relievers have allowed nine runs over 23 1/3 innings in their last six games after allowing two runs in their previous 15 innings over five games.
Rays: Myers can make history
Outfielder Wil Myers leads American League rookies in homers (13) and RBIs (49) this season. Myers can play a maximum of 88 games this season because of his June 18 callup, and he has a chance to become the first player ever to lead AL rookies in homers and RBIs while playing in less than 90 games.
• The Rays have achieved a winning record in their sixth straight season. On only two other occasions has a team achieved this following 10 straight losing seasons: the Philadelphia A's had 10 straight losing seasons (1915-24) followed by nine straight winning seasons (1925-33), and the Philadelphia/Kansas City A's lost for 15 years (1953-67) followed by Oakland's nine winning seasons (1968-76).
• When Archer goes six or more innings, the Rays are 11-1. When he doesn't last a full six, they are 1-7.
Worth noting
• Rangers reliever Neal Cotts has pitched 10 1/3 scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts over his last 12 games since permitting a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning of the Aug. 16 game against Seattle, his second loss. His season ERA is at 1.09.
• With Alex Cobb's 20th start of the year on Monday, the Rays have six pitchers with at least 20 starts apiece: Cobb, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Matt Moore, Roberto Hernandez and Archer. Tampa Bay is the seventh team in AL history to have six pitchers with 20 starts each.

Guide to Choosing the Right Light
Streamlight makes serious lighting tools. We make them for a wide variety of applications, but we also make it easy to select the light that's best for your specific needs. If you ask yourself a few basic questions and answer based on the information provided here - you can choose a light that will serve you well for a long, long time.
Streamlight Takes Led Technology to a Whole New Level
Flashlight choice depends on intended use. Typically, there is no one light that works well in all situations. Consider your applications and the following basic questions:
Is the work close up or is a long range beam required?
Is the extraordinary bulb life and reliability of an LED needed or is the blinding power of a halogen or xenon bulb critical?
Can the budget pay for disposable batteries or does frequent use demand rechargeables?
Disposable or Rechargeable?
Disposable batteries, either alkaline or lithium, have excellent storage life, 7 and 10 years respectively. They generally offer longer runtimes for a given bulb power and are typically lower in initial purchase price and easier to keep spares on hand. Their operating costs are considerably higher than rechargeables (see chart) and they are seldom as bright. Lithium cells have high energy density, but are even more costly than alkaline.
Rechargeable flashlights using nickel cadmium or lithiumion batteries feature extraordinarily low operating expense and are well suited for frequent use. They can often support a brighter bulb or LED and store conveniently in custom charger holders. Their initial purchase price is higher and they self discharge at a higher rate when in storage.
Typical Costs of a Rechargeable vs. Disposable | ||
Year | Rechargeable Flashlight Costs | D-Cell Flashlight Costs |
1st | $97 | $103** |
2nd | $0 | $78 |
3rd | $0 | $78 |
4th | $0 | $78 |
$97 | $337 | |
* Average suggested cost of a rechargeable flashlight ** Includes $25 flashlight purchase and a year's worth of replacement batteries |
Lumens and Candlepower
"Lumens" of a bulb is a measurement of the entire output of the bulb. (Focus is not considered.) | "Lumens" of LEDs is a measurement of all the light inside the "beam angle". | "Peak beam candlepower" is a measure of the brightest spot in a focused beam. |
How Bright?
Flashlights come with several kinds of bulbs. The biggest differences are the amount of brightness, longevity of the bulb, and the cost. Here's a rundown of bulb choices:
INCANDESCENT – Streamlight uses premium gas-filled lamps for high performance. Both xenon and halogen lamps provide high output for their size and a white, natural-appearing light. Halogen lamps "blacken" less as they age and may have longer life than xenon. Both require periodic replacement and can fail on extreme impact. They are easily focused – most powerful, highest performance, top choice for long distances.
LEDS (LIGHT EMITTING DIODES) – Solid-state construction. Very durable and long-lived – up to 100,000 hours. Do not require periodic replacement. Soft focus, short range. Good for close work. Typically much less power than incandescent lamp, but can give extremely long (100's of hours) runtimes at low illumination levels.
C4® LED – New C4® LED Technology pumps up the brightness up to 3X more light intensity.
Streamlight introduces a whole new kind of LED. With a brighter, more powerful, blinding light than any LED that's come before. Our new Streamlight-engineered reflector with C4 Photonic Crystal technology almost triples the brightness and creates an intense beam that pierces the darkness. So you get the long-run times and indestructibility of an LED with a new level of brightness that leaves other LEDs in the dark.
C4 approximates the range and brightness of a xenon bulb
COMBINATION LED/INCANDESCENT – Streamlight's exclusive patented LED/Xenon combination lights combine the long running times and durability of LEDs with the brightness of an incandescent. Arguably the best of both worlds.
