Recently, it dawned on me that Retire By 40 is a bit disorganized. It has been almost four years since I started writing, and that means there are a lot of blog posts. A new reader can drop in and read a few articles, but it's not easy to get the whole perspective on this early retirement journey that I'm on. So I thought I'd put a recap together and add it to the Start Here page. That way a new reader can get up to speed before continuing on to other articles.
Life is great when you're young, isn't it? You don't have much responsibility and you still have plenty of fun even when you're poor. Our family immigrated to the US when I was young and we struggled financially for many years. The whole Financial Independence/Early Retirement concept is foreign to the working class and I didn't even know about this until I was well into my career. It seems like an upper class concept, but that's not true. There are many ways to reach Financial Independence and I think anyone can do it. Of course, it's much easier if you make good income.
Early career
1996 – I graduated from college with a Masters degree in computer engineering and started working for a big technology company right away. At this point, retirement was the last thing on my mind, but my dad convinced me to invest in the company 401k. I increased my contribution every year and I was maxing out the 401k contribution after a few years. I also saved and invested a little bit on the side, but it wasn't a huge amount.
I got a new car (compact Ford), went to concerts, took some international trips, and enjoyed myself. I wasn't living large, but I wasn't that frugal either. My income was pretty good and I lived within my means. Debt wasn't a problem because my parents help paid for my education and I never ran up my credit card.
I went to college with Mrs. RB40, but she went off to join the Peace Corps for a couple of years. We got married in 1999 and moved into a house shortly after. She struggled for a few years to find the right job that suited her personality, so she kept her frugal lifestyle. I knew she didn't like to spend money while in college and she had always had frugal tendencies since she was a kid. This was good because we could have spent much more money in our 20s.
Mid career
2003 – I enjoyed being a computer engineer when I started working. There were challenging problems to solve, new technologies to learn, and sometime it was even fun. Sure, I worked long hours, but it wasn't a hardship because most of my friends worked long hours, too. I got a few promotions early on and I was making pretty good money by 2003. By this time, the company was asking me to take on more leadership responsibilities. I tried, but I wasn't very good at it. I didn't know how to deal with people who didn't perform and I got very stressed out. Anyway, we had the benefit of a 10 week sabbatical every 7 years, so I took the time off to get away and think about my career.
When I got back, I changed jobs and transferred to a different group within the same company. I told myself that I'd give engineering one more chance and picked a job in the area that I really enjoyed (hardware debugging if anyone is curious.) Things were good for a few years until I was asked to take on more leadership roles again. I declined and job satisfaction went downhill pretty quickly. There were a lot of reorganizations and my manager was let go in 2009. I wasn't having any fun and I hated dragging myself to work every day. Some of my friends left the engineering field altogether and that's when I realized there was an alternative to sticking it out in the same career for 30 years.
Financially, we were doing quite well during this period. Mrs. RB40 went back to college, got her Master degree, and found a more stable job that she liked. We paid down our mortgage a bit, invested in the stock market, and maxed out our 401k and Roth IRA.
I'm not exactly sure when I learned about the Financial Independence for the regular people concept, but it must have been around this time. I was reading a lot of personal finance sites because I wanted to learn more about investing. I stumbled onto Jacob's Early Retirement Extreme at some point and I thought, wow, what a great idea. However, I still thought I need to change jobs or companies to keep the income rolling.
Late career
2010 – 2010 was quite a pivotal year for us. Mrs. RB40 told me that we were going to be parents. I was getting really stressed out at work again and even the engineering technical work wasn't fun anymore. I was goofing off more and more at work by reading and commenting on many blogs. One day I was at my desk and I had an epiphany – "retire by 40!" That's an awesome blog name. If all these regular people can blog, why can't I? Imagine telling your pregnant wife (who can be a bit of a workaholic) that you want to quit your job. She didn't take it well at all. But she saw that the job wasn't the right fit for me anymore, and besides, she was tired of hearing me complain.
I was 36 so I had 4 years left before I turned 40. We had been cutting back and living a more frugal lifestyle over the previous few years so our expenses were pretty good. We never really lived it up anyway, so that wasn't a big deal. Anyway, my exit strategy wasn't full financial independence. We just needed to function financially without my paychecks.
I began to think more seriously about generating more income streams to offset my paychecks.
- I converted most of our growth stocks to dividend stocks in our taxable accounts.
- We were renting our old house out at this point and picked up a 4-plex and a small condo during the downturn.
- I tried peer to peer lending.
- Most importantly – I started making a little income from Retire By 40!
2011 – Mrs. RB40 gave birth to our son and I took a 3 month sabbatical to try out being a stay at home dad. The experience was great and I wanted more. I promised myself that if we could live without my income for 12 months, then I would quit my job. This test run is very important because it showed Mrs. RB40 that we could do it.
2012 – By 2012, I was a mess at work. I didn't get much accomplished and the stress was seriously screwing up my physical and mental health. I took a medical leave to figure things out and quit work soon after. Mrs. RB40 was fully supportive of this change. The important thing I realized was that you don't have to be financially independent to quit your career. You can make up for the short fall by working a bit and have some backup plans.
Life has been pretty good since I left my job in the summer of 2012. My health improved tremendously and our family is better off for it. Financially, we also did pretty well. We were able to keep our monthly cash flow positive for the most part and our net worth increased about 40%, thanks to the strong stock and housing markets.
One important thing I learn since I started blogging is everyone has to forge their own path to financial independence/early retirement. Some people are very successful at real estate investing and they will have a reliable source of income for the rest of their lives. Some people built a business and sold it off for a large enough amount to retire. Some people live a very frugal lifestyle and can achieve FI without a huge paycheck. There are many paths out there and you'll have to find your own way.
Here are the keys to my early retirement.
- Start saving and investing early. I started saving and investing right away when I got my first full time job. On the surface, it looks like my early retirement journey only took a few years, but that's only possible because I started investing in my early 20s.
- Live a moderate lifestyle. We always lived within our means and avoided consumer debt. We could have lived it up a lot more, but our financially unstable youth encouraged us save and invest instead. Avoiding lifestyle inflation will pay off in the long run.
- Mrs. RB40 on board. Mrs. RB40 was hesitant to get on board the early retirement train at first, but I convinced her eventually and she has been very supportive since. Having the right partner is essential to building your wealth.
- Have a clear goal. I suspect a lot of people can reach early retirement/semi-retirement pretty easily if they put their minds to it. Most people just don't realize that it's possible so they keep working and spending.
- Motivation. For me, it was the desire to get away from the engineering career that wasn't the right fit anymore. If I liked my job, then I'm pretty sure I would still be working.
- Side incomes. In the beginning, the income from Retire By 40 wasn't that much, but it made me realize that a little active income goes a long way in early retirement. Even if I stop blogging, I can work part time and make $500-$1,000/month and our finances would still be just fine.
- Flexibility. Here is the final hurdle that a lot of people with a high paycheck have trouble with. They are afraid that they won't have enough money to fund their retirement. If you're smart and disciplined enough to reach FI (or just get close), then you should be able to solve future financial problems. If the stock market crashes, perhaps you can stop withdrawing and work for a few years. Retirement doesn't have to be permanent. If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to work. I guess it takes a certain amount of blind optimism to quit your well paying career.
Well, that's my early retirement journey so far. What do you think? The next big turning point for me will be when our kid goes off to school full time. I will have a lot more time on my hands then and I'll need to figure out what to do with my spare time. Perhaps I can start a micro business…
Are you on a journey to financial independence/early retirement? How long will it take? What's your motivation?

I'm sure they didn't lie, they may be slow but they will come through, I would bet within a week. I too want a Blackberry player.
Well they did say that the App would be available mid-november and its now mid-december so I'm gonna take that one as a lie. A simple explaination is all we want if it's gonna take longer (obviously) then it would be nice to hear that from Monsoon themselves.
I'm a Hava user so I've been with Monsoon for 3 years and the way I look at it is, they couldn't get the Hava systems running smoothly and were takin it on the chin for not havin mobile apps for hava, so why not stop making them and start a new device called Vulkano. It's obvious from takin a quik look around the forums that things haven't changed much, they still can't support ther own devices lots of complaints. I really feel sorry for anyone who purchases a Vulkano unit. Goodluck
1 more thing does anyone know how many people work for Monsoon? I think everyone would be surprised.

What are we becoming?
What are we becoming? The Southern Baptist Convention has been blessed by God down through the years. … One of the reasons is because we have been people of the Book (the Bible).
We need to take heed to what Paul wrote to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:3-7 (KJV), "As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightiest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm."
Does being a Baptist mean anything anymore? Are we heading down the ecumenical highway? What are we going to become? If we start forgiving the devil, then we are certainly in for ruin. I think it is time to start preaching what the Bible says and certainly following the Great Commission; just because you change your name does not mean you are going to be faithful.

Reviews for Hearty Wild Rice Soup
"This IS a good recipe, I had some leftovers and made it into this soup, I added onion soup mix also for flavor, it turned out great! Thank you for this!"
"I didn't have quick-cooking wild rice, so I made the rice ahead of time and separately, and then cut the amount of water to compensate. It was tasty and creamy. We enjoyed it, and I would make it again."
"Great soup. I used a Basmati wild rice packet from Trader Joe's. Next time I will try sausage ot ground turkey/chicken as the protein. We added in some salt and pepper, but just to our liking. This soup didn't last two days in our house. Thanks for sharing this with us."
"My family really enjoyed the soup! I confess that I used some wild rice pilaf that I had already cooked and in the freezer. I did add some sliced carrot, and a bit of powdered coffee creamer , 2 Tbl cornstarch in 1 /2 cup water to thicken the broth- just because we like a creamy texture-but we loved it."
"I didn't really like this soup that much. It came out too mushy and took up all the juice and just basically tasted like glorified wild rice. Perhaps it was because I didn't get the quick cooking rice. I had to cook mine 20 min. To get the rice done."

Technically, UAB is still first overall in Conference USA. That's if you count the out-of-conference record. But for the Blazers, those wins won't get them anywhere in the C-USA Tournament. The Blazers are coming off a very physical and emotional double-overtime loss to UTEP at Bartow Arena. That was the first conference loss for UAB this season. The Blazers now find themselves in a three-way tie for first place with Tulsa and UTEP.
The loss did more than just knock the Blazers out of the outright first place position in Conference USA. It also dropped them back out of the Top 25. If the poll went to 30, UAB would come in at No. 28 behind Florida State and Cornell.
Don't expect UAB to give up now that their perfect conference record has a blemish on it. UAB plays UTEP again at the end of the regular season, and they still have far and away the best out of conference resume of any team in C-USA. Most don't expect UAB to have any trouble making the NCAA Tournament unless the rest of the conference season turns into a complete disaster.
A more pressing matter for UAB is the Memphis game tomorrow at the FedEx Forum. Memphis is notoriously tough at home. They may not be the same Memphis Tigers we are used to seeing over the past several seasons, but make no mistake, when you fill up an arena that large with a rowdy crowd, it's hard for any team to think straight.
Memphis comes in with a 15-6 record, and also has a home loss to UTEP. They lost to SMU last Saturday- the team that UAB had to come back from 24 down to beat. A win over the Tigers in Memphis would certainly add to the NCAA Tournament resume of UAB. It wouldn't hurt Memphis to beat UAB, either. Unfortunately for the Tigers, just a win over UAB probably isn't enough to get them into the Big Dance at this point. For UAB, as long as they win the majority of their remaining games, they are probably in. Memphis may be relegated to the NIT unless they can pull several upsets and win the Conference USA Tournament in Tulsa.
Despite the fact that on paper UAB should probably be able to handle Memphis, this is the biggest rivalry within the conference. UAB and Memphis don't too much care for each other, and the rivalry between the teams and the fans has continued to build over the years. This is a game that could go either way no matter what kind of season the teams are having.
But fear not Blazer fans, UAB is probably out of the woods as far as worrying about the NCAA's. Barring a meltdown against the weaker teams left on their conference schedule and losing too many home games they are safely in the Tourney. The Memphis game will be big mainly because it is always big these days. As far as this being a deciding game for the future of both teams- it isn't this year. And this year- it's UAB who probably gets to play for the big prize, and not Memphis.
UAB plays at Memphis on Wednesday night at 7 P.M. Central. The game will be televised on CBS College Sports.

Giordano Bruno
The Forgotten Philosopher
by John J. Kessler, Ph.D., Ch.E.
[hand-typed by Cliff Walker; image scanned by Tim Sullivan]
In the year 1548 an Italian boy was born in the little town of Nola, not far from Vesuvius. Although, he spent the greater part of his life in hostile and foreign countries he was drawn back to his home at the end of his travels and after he had written nearly twenty books.
When he was thirteen years old he began to go to school at the Monastery of Saint Domenico. It was a famous place. Thomas Aquinas, himself a Dominican, had lived there and taught. Within a few years Bruno had become a Dominican priest.
It was not long before the monks of Saint Dominico began to learn something about the extraordinary enthusiasm of their young colleague. He was frank, outspoken, and lacking in reticence. It was not long before he got himself into trouble. It was evident that this boy could not be made to fit into Dominican grooves. One of the first things that a student has to learn is to give the teacher the answers that the teacher wants. The average teacher is the preserver of the ancient landmarks. The students are his audience. They applaud but they must not innovate. They must learn to labor and to wait. It was not Bruno's behavior but his opinions that got him into trouble.
He ran away from school, from his home town, from his own country and tried to find among strangers and foreigners a congenial atmosphere for his intellectual integrity that he could not find at home. It is difficult not to get sentimental about Bruno. He was a man without a country and, finally, without a church.
Bruno was interested in the nature of ideas. Although the name was not yet invented it will be perfectly proper to dub Bruno as an epistemologist, or as a pioneer Semanticist. He takes fresh stock of the human mind.
It is an interesting fact that here, at the close of the 16th Century, a man, closed in on all sides by the authority of priestly tradition, makes what might be termed a philosophical survey of the world which the science of the time was disclosing. It is particularly interesting because it is only in the 20th Century that the habit of this sort of speculation is again popular. Bruno lived in a period when philosophy became divorced from science. Perhaps it might be better to say that science became divorced from philosophy. Scientists became too intrigued with their new toys to bother about philosophy. They began to busy themselves with telescopes and microscopes and chemical glassware.
In 1581 Bruno went to Paris and began to give lectures on philosophy. It was not an uncommon thing for scholars to wander from place to place. He made contacts easily and was able to interest any group with whom he came in contact with the fire of his ideas. His reputation reached King Henry III who became curious to look over this new philosophical attraction. Henry III was curious to find out if Bruno's art was that of the magician or the sorcerer. Bruno had made a reputation for himself as a magician who could inspire greater memory retention. Bruno satisfied the king that his system was based upon organized knowledge. Bruno found a real patron in Henry III and it had much to do with the success of his short career in Paris.
It was about this time that one of Bruno's earliest works was published, De Umbras Idearum, The Shadows of Ideas, which was shortly followed by Ars Mernoriae, Art of Memory. In these books he held that ideas are only the shadows of truth. The idea was extremely novel in his time. In the same year a third book followed: Brief Architecture of the Art of Lully with its Completion. Lully had tried to prove the dogmas of the church by human reason. Bruno denies the value of such mental effort. He points out that Christianity is entirely irrational, that it is contrary to philosophy and that it disagrees with other religions. He points out that we accept it through faith, that revelation, so called, has no scientific basis.
In his fourth work he selects the Homeric sorcerer Circi who changed men into beasts and makes Circi discuss with her handmaiden a type of error which each beast represents. The book Cantus Circaeus, The Incantation of Circe, shows Bruno working with the principle of the association of ideas, and continually questioning the value of traditional knowledge methods.
In the year 1582, at the age of 34 he wrote a play Il Candelajo, The Chandler. He thinks as a candle-maker who works with tallow and grease and then has to go out and vend his wares with shouting and ballyhoo:
Behold in the candle borne by this Chandler, to whom I give birth, that which shall clarify certain shadows of ideas ... I need not instruct you of my belief. Time gives all and takes all away; everything changes but nothing perishes. One only is immutable, eternal and ever endures, one and the same with itself. With this philosophy my spirit grows, my mind expands. Whereof, however obscure the night may be, I await the daybreak, and they who dwell in day look for night ... Rejoice therefore, and keep whole, if you can, and return love for love.
There came a time when the novelty of Bruno had worn off in France and he felt that it was time to move on. He went to England to begin over again and to find a fresh audience. He failed to make scholastic contact with Oxford. Oxford, like other European universities of this time, paid scholastic reverence to the authority of Aristotle. A great deal has been written about the Middle Ages being throttled by the dead hand of Aristotle. It was not the methods of Aristotle nor the fine mind of Aristotle which were so much in question as it was the authority of Aristotle. A thing must be believed because Aristotle said it. It was part of the method of Bruno to object in his own strenuous fashion to the cramming down one's throat of statements of fact because Aristotle had made such statements when they were plainly at variance with the fresh sense experience which science was producing.
In his work The Ash Wednesday Supper, a story of a private dinner, being entertained by English guests, Bruno spreads the Copernican doctrine. A new astronomy had been offered the world at which people were laughing heartily, because it was at variance with the teachings of Aristotle. Bruno was carrying on a spirited propaganda in a fighting mood. Between the year 1582 and 1592 there was hardly a teacher in Europe who was persistently, openly and actively spreading the news about the "universe which Copernicus had charted, except Giordano Bruno. A little later on another and still more famous character was to take up the work: Galilee.
Galileo never met Bruno in person and makes no mention of him in his works, although he must have read some of them. We may not blame Galilee for being diplomat enough to withhold mention of a recognized heretic. Galilee has often been criticized because he played for personal safety in the matter of his own difficulties. We demand a great deal of our heroes.
While in England Bruno had a personal audience with Queen Elizabeth. He wrote of her in the superlative fashion of the time calling her diva, Protestant Ruler, sacred, divine, the very words he used for His Most Christian Majesty and Head of The Holy Roman Empire. This was treasured against him when he was later brought to trial as an atheist, an infidel and a heretic. Queen Elizabeth did not think highly of Bruno. She thought him as wild, radical, subversive and dangerous. Bruno found Englishmen rather crude.
Bruno had no secure place in either Protestant or Roman Catholic religious communities. He carried out his long fight against terrible odds. He had lived in Switzerland and France and was now in England and left there for Germany. He translated books, read proofs, and got together groups and lectured for whatever he could get out of it. It requires no great stretch of the imagination to picture him as a man who mended his own clothes, who was often cold, hungry and shabby. There are only a few things that we know about Bruno with great certainty and these facts are the ideas which he left behind in his practically forgotten books, the bootleg literature of their day. After twenty years in exile we picture him as homesick, craving the sound of his own native tongue and the companionship of his own countrymen. But he continued to write books. In his book De la Causa, Principio, et Uno, On Cause, Principle, and Unity we find prophetic phrases:
This entire globe, this star, not being subject to death, and dissolution and annihilation being impossible anywhere in Nature, from time to time renews itself by changing and altering all its parts. There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.
His other works were The Infinity, The Universe and Its Worlds, The Transport of Intrepid Souls, and Cabala of the Steed like unto Pegasus with the Addition of the Ass of Cyllene, an ironical discussion of the pretensions of superstition. This "ass," says Bruno, is to be found everywhere, not only in the church but in courts of law and even in colleges. In his book The Expulsion of the 'Triumphant Beast' he flays the pedantries he finds in Catholic and Protestant cultures. In yet another book The Threefold Leas and Measure of the Three Speculative Sciences and the Principle of Many Practical Arts, we find a discussion on a theme which was to be handled in a later century by the French philosopher Descartes. The book was written five years before Descartes was born and in it he says: Who so itcheth to Philosophy must set to work by putting all things to the doubt.
He also wrote Of the Unit, Quantity and Shape and another work On Images, Signs and Ideas, as well as On What is Immense and Innumerable; Exposition of the Thirty Seals and List of Metaphysical Terms for Taking the Study of Logic and Philosophy in Hand. His most interesting title is One Hundred Sixty Articles Directed Against the Mathematics and Philosophers of the Day. One of his last works, The Fastenings of Kind, was unfinished.
It is easy to get an impression of the reputation which Bruno had created by the year 1582 in the minds of the clerical authorities of southern Europe. He had written of an infinite universe which had left no room for that greater infinite conception which is called God. He could not conceive that God and nature could be separate and distinct entities as taught by Genesis, as taught by the Church and as even taught by Aristotle. He preached a philosophy which made the mysteries of the virginity of Mary, of the crucifixion and the mass, meaningless. He was so naive that he could not think of his own mental pictures as being really heresies. He thought of the Bible as a book which only the ignorant could take literally. The Church's methods were, to say the least, unfortunate, and it encouraged ignorance from the instinct of self-preservation.
Bruno wrote: "Everything, however men may deem it assured and evident, proves, when it is brought under discussion to be no less doubtful than are extravagant and absurd beliefs." He coined the phrase "Libertes philosophica" the right to think, to dream, if you like, to make philosophy. After 14 years of wandering about Europe Bruno turned his steps toward home. Perhaps he was homesick. Some writers have it that he was framed. For Bruno to go back to Italy is as strange a paradox as that of the rest of his life.
He was invited to Venice by a young man whose name was Mocenigo, who offered him a home and who then brought charges against him before the Inquisition. The case dragged on. He was a prisoner in the Republic of Venice but a greater power wanted him and he was surrendered to Rome. For six years, between 1593 and 1600 he lay in a Papal prison. Was he forgotten, tortured? Whatever historical records there are never have been published by those authorities who have them. In the year 1600 a German scholar Schoppius happened to be in Rome and wrote about Bruno, who was interrogated several times by the Holy Office and convicted by the chief theologians. At one time he obtained forty days to consider his position; by and by he promised to recant, then renewed his "follies." Then he got another forty days for deliberation but did nothing but baffle the pope and the Inquisition. After two years in the custody of the Inquisitor he was taken on February ninth to the palace of the Grand Inquisitor to hear his sentence on bended knee, before the expert assessors and the Governor of the City.
Bruno answered the sentence of death by fire with the threatening: "Perhaps you, my judges, pronounce this sentence against me with greater fear than I receive it." He was given eight more days to see whether he would repent. But it was no use. He was taken to the stake and as he was dying a crucifix was presented to him, but he pushed it away with fierce scorn.
They were wise in getting rid of him for he wrote no more books, but they should have strangled him when he was born. As it turned out, they did not get rid of him at all. His fate was not an unusual one for heretics; this strange madcap genius was quickly forgotten. His works were honored by being placed on the Index expurgatorius on August 7, 1603, and his books became rare. They never obtained any great popularity.
In the early part of the 18th Century English deists rediscovered Bruno and tried to excite the imagination of the public with the retelling of the story of his life, but this aroused no particular enthusiasm.
The enthusiasm of German philosophy reached the subject of Bruno when Jacobi (1743-1819) drew attention to the genius of Bruno and German thinkers generally recognized his genius but they did not read his books. In the latter part of the 19th Century Italian scholars began to be intrigued with Bruno and for a while "Bruno Mania" was part of the intellectual enthusiasm of cultured Italians. Bruno began to be a symbol to represent the forward-looking free-thinking type of philosopher and scientist, and has become a symbol of scientific martyrdom. Bruno was a truant, a philosophical tramp, a poetic vagrant, but has no claims to the name of scientist. His works are not found in American libraries. In this age of biographical writing it is surprising that no modern author has attempted to reconstruct his life, important because it is in the direct line of modern progress. Bruno was a pioneer who roused Europe from its long intellectual sleep. He was martyred for his enthusiasm.
Bruno was born five years after Copernicus died. He had bequeathed an intoxicating idea to the generation that was to follow him. We hear a lot in our own day about the expanding universe. We have learned to accept it as something big. The thought of the Infinity of the Universe was one of the great stimulating ideas of the Renaissance. It was no longer a 15th Century God's backyard. And it suddenly became too vast to be ruled over by a 15th Century God. Bruno tried to imagine a god whose majesty should dignify the majesty of the stars. He devised no new metaphysical quibble nor sectarian schism. He was not playing politics. He was fond of feeling deep thrills over high visions and he liked to talk about his experiences. And all of this refinement went through the refiners' fire -- that the world might be made safe from the despotism of the ecclesiastic 16th Century Savage. He suffered a cruel death and achieved a unique martyr's fame. He has become the Church's most difficult alibi. She can explain away the case of Galileo with suave condescension. Bruno sticks in her throat.
He is one martyr whose name should lead all the rest. He was not a mere religious sectarian who was caught up in the psychology of some mob hysteria. He was a sensitive, imaginative poet, fired with the enthusiasm of a larger vision of a larger universe ... and he fell into the error of heretical belief. For this poets vision he was kept in a dark dungeon for eight years and then taken out to a blazing market place and roasted to death by fire.
It is an incredible story. The "Church" will never outlive
Giordano Bruno
by Desmond J. Fitzgerald
from Encarta
Italian Renaissance philosopher and poet, whose dramatic death gives a special significance to his writings. Bruno was born at Nola, near Naples. Originally named Filippo, he took the name Giordano when he joined the Dominicans, who trained him in Aristotelian philosophy and Thomistic theology. An independent thinker and tempestuous spirit, he fled the order in 1576 to avoid a trial on doctrinal charges and began the wandering that characterized his life.
Bruno visited Geneva, Toulouse, Paris, and London, where he spent two years, from 1583 to 1585, under the protection of the French ambassador and in the circle of the English poet Sir Philip Sidney. It was a most productive period, during which he composed Ash Wednesday Supper (1584) and On the Infinite Universe and Worlds (1584), as well as the dialogue On the Cause, Principle, and Unity (1584). In another poetic dialogue, Gli eroici furori (1585), he praised a kind of Platonic love that joins the soul to God through wisdom.
In 1585 Bruno returned to Paris, then went on to Marburg an der Lahn, Wittenberg, Prague, Helmstedt, and Frankfurt, where he arranged for the printing of his many writings. At the invitation of a Venetian nobleman, Giovanni Moncenigo, Bruno returned to Italy as his private tutor. In 1592 Moncenigo denounced Bruno to the Inquisition, which tried him for heresy. Turned over to the Roman authorities, he was imprisoned for some eight years while questioning proceeded on charges of blasphemy, immoral conduct, and heresy. Refusing to recant, Bruno was burned at the stake in Campo dei Fiori on February 17, 1600. Late in the 19th century, a statue was erected on the site of his martyrdom to the cause of free thought.
Bruno advocated philosophical theories that blended mystical Neoplatonism and pantheism. He believed that the universe is infinite, that God is the universal world-soul, and that all particular material things are manifestations of the one infinite principle. Bruno is considered a forerunner of modern philosophy because of his influence on the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza and his anticipation of the theories of 17th-century monism.

Today Is the 400th Anniversary
of the Martyrdom of
Giordano Bruno
17 February 2000
Today, 17th February 2000, is the 400th anniversary of the martyrdom of Giordano Bruno who was burnt alive at the stake in Campo de' Fiori square in Rome. Bruno was one of the most famous victims of the Inquisition, which was responsible for the death of thousands of heretics. He was killed by an order of the Holy Office, in the Holy Year of Jubilee under the reign of Clement VIII, pontiff of the Holy Roman church. Late in the 19th century, a statue to the cause of freethought was erected on the site of his martyrdom, where his death is commemorated every year with a public demonstration, which was forbidden only during the period of fascism.
Bruno, Italian renaissance philosopher, scientist and poet, was born in 1548 at Nola, near Naples. Originally named Filippo, he took the name Giordano when he joined the Dominicans, who trained him in Aristotelian philosophy and Thomistic theology. An independent thinker, he fled the order in 1576 to avoid a trial on doctrinal charges, and began the wandering that characterised his life.
Bruno visited Geneva, Toulouse, Paris, and London, where he spent two years, from 1583 to 1585, under the protection of the French ambassador and in the circle of the English poet Sir Philip Sidney, during which he composed "Ash Wednesday Supper" (1584) and "On the Infinite Universe and Worlds" (1584), as well as the dialogue "On the Cause, Principle, and Unity" (1584). A major part of his work, however, seems to be lost. Some believe that it is kept hidden in the Vatican archives.
In 1585 Bruno returned to Paris, then went on to Marburg, Wittenberg, Prague, Helmstedt, and Frankfurt, where he arranged the printing of his many works. It was on the invitation of a Venetian nobleman, Giovanni Moncenigo, that Bruno returned to Italy. The same Moncenigo denounced Bruno to the Inquisition in 1592, which tried him for heresy. Turned over to the Roman authorities, he was imprisoned for some eight years while questioning proceeded on charges of heresy. Refusing to recant, Bruno was burned at the stake in Campo de' Fiori, undressed with a nail piercing his tongue, on February 17, 1600.
Bruno is considered a forerunner of modern philosophy because of his influence on the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza and his anticipation of the theories of 17th-century monism.
The Associazione Nazionale del Libero Pensiero 'Giordano Bruno' is organising this year, together with like-minded organisations united in the Secular and Libertarian Committee, a three day programme with speeches, music and theatrical presentations from today till 19th of February culminating in a great demonstration at the Campo de' Fiori square.

They call this the Silver Arrow which makes use of a couple fin stacks and two TY series fans. These fans are 160x140x24mm sized with variable RPMs of 500 to 1300 and a max dBA of 21.
The Silver Arrow uses nickel-plated C1100 pure copper for its base and gets further assistance for heat transfer thanks to four 8mm heatpipes. The cooler supports all current platforms on the market including LGA 1366/1156 and 775 as well as AMD's AM2 and AM3 processors.
Pricing and availability is yet to be disclosed.

Transitioning from any musical genre into acting isn't exactly an easy task, well, considering one must naturally hone the craft behind becoming a believable yet credible thespian. It isn't necessarily something any individual – for that matter – can master in a 24 hour span. In the words of the flamboyant Floyd Mayweather Jr, "it takes hard work and dedication." Auditions are hard to come by for aging Hollywood vets, so much so, that some of these one-time respectable money-makers have no choice to stoop to lower levels by taking a crack at nightly sitcom gigs, to the dismay of the former, who have continued to voice their gripe at musicians that are snagging all the roles today. There's enough room for everyone to shine, but don't tell that to Samuel Jackson. He might cuss you out in that obnoxiously loud-mouthed yelling voice you 'love-hate' to hear. It's a bittersweet situation, but I digress.
Steering right back into the swing of things, here, we have a clip of up-and-coming Spanish Harlem rapper Bodega Bamz making his acting debut in the Latin gangster series, "Triangulo." It's a slight upgrade from his experience within the comedic realm, but as with any starter, a couple of seconds is usually what you get – it's just how you steal the scene – if that's possible. The man who fittingly dubs himself 'Tan Boy' arrives at the 10: 37 mark, so in case you're too caught up to sit through a 23 minute video, do yourself a favor and kindly hit skip.
Yes, the role is a small (and we really mean small), but if you're in the mood for more of Bamz's work, here's his latest appearance on BET's Backroom Freestyle segment where he rocked the microphone yesterday evening during 106 & Park. To follow Bodega Bamz on Instagram and Twitter, feel free to head here and here.

I'm an absolute beginner with ubuntu. After installing 11.10 I get a message to install ATI proprietary driver. The new one can't be installed, the older one get installed. After installation I must reboot. I do so and my monitor shows me something like "70Hrz horizontal and 60Hrz vertical are not supported" on a black screen. I don't find a way to set other resolution like 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and I can't see something, even CPU seems to be working.
From the above forums post, boot to recovery mode and run the following commands
Reboot and X should work.
You can try to install the proprietary drivers, check to see if your card is supported first
