Khalil Hamra, File, Associated Press
CAIRO — On her first day to school, 15-year-old Christian student Ferial Habib was stopped at the doorstep of her new high school with clear instructions: either put on a headscarf or no school this year.
Habib refused. While most Muslim women in Egypt wear the headscarf, Christians do not, and the move by administrators to force a Christian student to don it was unprecedented. For the next two weeks, Habib reported to school in the southern Egyptian village of Sheik Fadl every day in her uniform, without the head covering, only to be turned back by teachers.
One day, Habib heard the school loudspeakers echoing her name and teachers with megaphones leading a number of students in chants of "We don't want Ferial here," the teenager told The Associated Press.
Habib's was allowed last week to attend without the scarf, and civil rights advocates say her case is a rare one. But it stokes the fears of Egypt's significant Christian minority that they will become the victims as Islamists grow more assertive after the Feb. 11 toppling of President Hosni Mubarak. It also illustrates how amid the country's political turmoil, with little sense of who is in charge and government control weakened, Islamic conservatives in low-level posts can step in and try to unilaterally enforce their own decisions.
Wagdi Halfa, one of Habib's lawyers, said the root problem is a lack of the rule of law.
"We don't want more laws but we want to activate the laws already in place," he said. "We are in a dark tunnel in terms of sectarian tension. Even if you have the majority who are moderate Muslims, a minority of extremists can make big impact on them and poison their minds."
In the past weeks, riots have broken out at two churches in southern Egypt, prompted by Muslim crowds angered by church construction. One riot broke out, near the city of Aswan, even after church officials agreed to a demand by local ultraconservative Muslims, called Salafis, that a cross and bells be removed from the building.
The violence is particularly frustrating for Christians because soon after Mubarak's fall the new government promised to review and lift heavy Mubarak-era restrictions on building or renovating churches. The promise raised hopes among Christians that the government would establish a clear legal right to build, resolving an issue that in recent years has increasingly sparked riots. But the review never came, and Salafi clerics have increased their rhetoric against Christians, including accusing them of seeking to spread their faith with new churches.
Habib's experience was startling because in general, Egypt's Christians, who make up at least 10 percent of the population of 80 million, have enjoyed relative freedom in terms of dress and worship. The vast majority of Muslim women in Egypt put on the headscarf, known as the higab, either for religious or social reasons, but there's little expectation that Christians wear it.
The demand that all students wear the higab was a decision by administrators and teachers at the high school in Sheik Fadl, 110 miles (180 kilometers) south of Cairo in Minya province. They said the headscarf was part of the school uniform, necessary to protect girls from sexual harassment.
A top provincial Education Ministry official, Abdel-Gawad Abdullah, said in an interview with CTV, a private Egyptian Christian television network, that the ministry gives schools the right to decide on school uniforms, and that parents during screening and application can either accept or refuse.
"And if the father wants to move his daughter to another school, it is OK," he said. "All the girls, including the Christians, put on the head cover and they have no problem," he added.
Habib's father Sorial complained to officials, demanding his daughter be allowed to attend without a scarf.
"After the revolution, there are no administration and no officials to go to. The system is lax and there is no supervision from the ministry," he told AP. "If things were under control, extremists would not have a free hand to act as they wish."

Prickly Pear has excellent hydrating properties due to its high content of water-binding compounds.

Volvo has revealed its sporty V40 R-Design at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. It gets a high-gloss front grille, chunkier bumpers with integrated foglamps and a lower air intake, as well as a rear diffuser and twin tailpipes.
There's 'silk' metal detailing around the grille and windows, and 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels as standard, with a special 18-inch design optional.
The V40 R-Design is available with a 10mm lower Sports chassis, featuring firmer suspension and stiffer anti-roll bars. This was developed with tuner Polestar, which is also behind the Rebel Blue paint – one of seven choices.
Inside are a sports steering wheel and pedals, plus Nubuck fabric seats with a blue R-Design logo.
The R-Design is offered with all engines, from the 113bhp D2 turbodiesel – emitting 94g/km of CO2 – to the new 250bhp
T5 flagship, which covers 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds.
The T5 will arrive in November, costing from around £30,000, while the V40 R-Design will be launched next month, with prices starting at £21,720.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
With the increasing popularity of Comic-Con, perhaps now would be a good time to look at ways to disseminate and grow the audience of the brand by inviting the world to participate in the excitement and joy that attendees are privileged to experience. By beginning with something as basic as posting panel recordings online in a professionally branded setting, a quantum shift in perception could be created and a knowledge base for the brand, dramatically changing the world's perception of Comic-Con and expanding potential growth areas.
Like many others, I had an incredible time at Comic-Con last week, missing more good friends and events than I managed to see (and I saw a lot). I was blown away by the love and joy for comic books and ideas which was evident everywhere I looked. Somehow I didn't see any television of movie promotion (I know, it's crazy. I must have been looking wrong… or right) and my time was filled with exploring comic books and meeting comic book creators. It did occur to me however, that simply creating an increasingly crowded city cannot possibly be a cost-effective way to grow the brand. With over 130,000 people in attendance this year (and possibly twice as many people simply wandering the streets to take a look) it was disturbingly packed. Continue Reading »

It isn't just the easy access to millions of books, or the chance of meeting my creative heroes, hearing industry news, or seeing clips of my favorite science fiction movies and cartoons. All of those things are amazing, but most of all I enjoy being around hundreds of people who love the same thing that I do. Continue Reading »

This review is from: G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10D-16GAB
Pros: Great RAM. Not truly elaborate with heatspreaders; low profile and nice looking. Passed both PC Doctor extended RAM tests and Prime95 Blend tests.
Paired this up with a 4770k, so I can do some serious work: 3D Modelling and CAD. (No Quadro or FirePRO yet. :( ) Running these at the full 1866MHz with XMP enabled and it performs great! Huge step from a Core 2 Quad and 8GB DDR2-800 RAM.
Cons: Can't complain at all.
RAM does what RAM does! Not DOA either.
This review is from: SUPERMICRO MBD-C7Z87-O ATX Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel Z87 DDR3 1600
Pros: Running extended and advanced tests on the motherboard and components in it have yielded no problems. Very solid and easy to work with. Great layout. Was not alarmed with any flimsy items. Simple and not flashy.
Love the old style BIOS. This has (U)EFI support, but it doesn't have the flashy interface that everyone else has now. That, for me, was a large selling point.
Upgraded from a Core 2 Quad to an i7 4770k and all the new goodies. Goodness, is it fast.
Cons: The CPU socket is a little close to the DIMM slots for me. My P5Q Pro had a good bit of distance from the socket to the DIMM slots.
I use a closed-loop-cooler and plan on upping to a custom water loop one day. So this doesn't really affect me overall.
Other Thoughts: First ever Supermicro motherboard. I'm trying to move away from the main manufacturers (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, etc...) and into the server/workstation (Tyan, Supermicro, formerly Intel) world because I feel better there. Less flashy gimmicks and more robustness.
Too bad the workstation motherboard sector is small. I would classify this as a workstation motherboard more than a server motherboard.

At Home With Julia Child
Change of Scene, if Not Cuisine
By JOHN LELAND
Published: July 26, 2001
THE voice on the telephone rose and fell in its unmistakable warble, familiar from nearly four decades of television. It made me an offer I could not refuse. ''I will make you a tuna sandwich,'' the voice said.
With that promise in mind, a few days later I met Julia Child in the kitchen of the grand Victorian house in Cambridge, Mass., where she has lived for 43 years, and where she taped several of her cooking series. In November, Mrs. Child plans to give up the home and move to a retirement community in Santa Barbara, Calif., where she has spent winters since 1980. I arrived shortly before noon. Wise is the reporter who schedules his interviews at lunchtime.
Mrs. Child, who will turn 89 on Aug. 15, uses a walker to get around, and her arrival in the kitchen was preceded by a series of rattling passages: from the elevator that she had installed for her husband, Paul, before his death in 1994; through the pantry; through the tiny pastry room; and finally into the spacious country kitchen.
Like the rest of the house, the kitchen was tidy and robustly unpretentious. Magnets shaped like fruits and vegetables clung to the black refrigerator door; the green pegboard walls were barely visible behind hanging pots and pans of all descriptions. ''As you can tell,'' she said without apology, ''I'm a frying pan freak.''
She wore a light blue smock jacket, white T-shirt and tan slacks; her makeup was simple but precise. She pulled down her favorite frying pan, a 10-inch, nonstick Wearever, of the sort sold in hardware stores. The wall behind it bore a magic marker outline of the pan, and a scrawled reminder of which one belonged there.
At this point, perhaps, you will have some questions about Julia Child's kitchen.
Q. What's in the fridge?
A. ''I'm an unabashed doggie-bagger,'' she said. Besides the usual staples, her refrigerator held leftovers from two recent nights out, one chicken, the other a pork chop. Plus: some diced onion, a couple of lemon halves wrapped in cellophane and a plastic container of cooked lobster meat (more on that later).
Q. What's the appliance fetish quotient?
A. Not a Traulsen or Sub-Zero in the place, though she does have a professional six-burner stove from Garland, which she bought for $410 in 1945. ''Nothing complicated about the Garland,'' she said approvingly. The refrigerator and dishwasher are from KitchenAid. There's also an oven from Thermador, a source of vexation ever since the company redesigned it; on the new model, the designers removed the cleaning instructions previously printed on the door. ''Once you get designers in, they ruin it for the regular people,'' Mrs. Child said. ''I could kill them.''
Q. Who does the dishes?
A. She does. ''I don't mind doing anything in the kitchen, but I hate housework,'' she said.
Q. How was the tuna sandwich?
A. Patience, cowpoke. All in good time.
Julia and Paul Child were working in the diplomatic service in 1956 when a real estate agent told them about the five-bedroom house in Cambridge, a former home of the philosopher Josiah Royce. Mrs. Child was a file clerk; her husband, a painter and photographer, designed war rooms and charts. They were staying in Washington before a posting in Norway, and took the overnight train to Cambridge. They fell in love with the house.
According to ''Appetite for Life,'' a rambling biography by Noel Riley Fitch, when Julia McWilliams first met Paul Child in the diplomatic service in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the latter part of World War II, she knew little about cooking. Her parents had left the kitchen to their cook; young Julia spent her childhood in Pasadena, Calif., in outdoor pursuits.
By 1956, though, Mrs. Child had undergone a transformation, graduating from the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris in 1949 and forming a cooking academy with two French chefs. The house in Cambridge had a big, open kitchen for her, and a basement studio where he could paint. For $35,000, it was theirs. Two years later, their service in Norway completed, they moved in.
At the wooden table in the kitchen, Mrs. Child settled into a big mug of coffee, neither her first of the day nor her last (she drinks Gevalia, the mail-order stuff advertised in magazines). For 43 years, she has done most of her entertaining in this room, seating as many as eight people around the table, most of whom have had a professional interest in the action at the Garland. She sat in a carved wooden chair from Norway, acquired during her diplomatic travels.
The home is in many ways a record of her life with Paul: the stove from their posting in Paris; a dining room table from Copenhagen; other antiques and rugs from diplomatic assignments in Marseille, China and Germany. Paul chose the pale green color of the kitchen and arranged the pans on the walls. When her cookbooks called for photographs or illustrations, he supplied the pictures. ''I'd finish cooking a dish at midnight and say, 'Yoo-hoo, time to do the photo,' '' she said. She is now working on a memoir based on their years in Paris. The big house, she said, is not the same without him.

Iceland's Sigfusson Appoints New Financial Investments Board
Iceland's Finance Minister Steingrimur J. Sigfusson has appointed a new board of the Icelandic State Financial Investments following the resignation of the agency's board last month.
Gudrun Ragnarsdottir has been named chairman of the board, according to a statement on the Finance Ministry's website. Jon Sigurdsson was appointed deputy chairman.
The former board's decision to hire Pall Magnusson, who was political adviser to the country's industry minister from 1999 to 2006, as the agency's chief executive officer, prompted lawmakers to criticize the board.
"The reaction of lawmakers indicate that it will be difficult for the institution to carry out, in the required manner, the important and difficult tasks it's meant to oversee," the board said last month. "It's fundamental" that the board "enjoys full support and can operate independently as required by law."
Following the resignation of the board on Oct. 24, Magnusson refused to take on the CEO role the following day.
Icelandic State Financial Investments oversees the state's shares in Iceland's three largest banks, Landsbankinn hf, Islandsbanki hf and Arion Banki hf. The north Atlantic island's government holds an 81 percent stake in Landsbanki, 13 percent in Arion and 5 percent in Islandsbanki.

Clinton/Richardson '08.
NO MORE DEBATES OR TELEVISION COVERAGE OF THE CANDIDATES UNTIL JANUARY 2008!!!!! This is going to to only one thing for the Democrats: make everyone sick and tired of all of them causing voters not to turn out to vote next November (15 months away) when it really counts.
Historical fact: The Democrats only win when there is high voter turn out. (2006 is a great example). And when voters stay home the GOP wins. I have no idea it was to start an election cycle of two years but they should be drug out into the street and beaten for awhile. (well not litterally)
And the other thing this is going to do is give the media (and the Republicans) more sound bites to attack the candidates with.
Finally, Mr Poe, why would we nominate a democrat who Fox news wants to be the nomination? I really would like someone to answer that one for me.
Also, am I the only person who thinks we have not heard from the guy the GOP will end up nominating? My guess is that the GOP will find a "dark horse" candidate sometime this fall who will set up the GOP base.
Sorry about the typos above: my bad!
Shuster backtracks:
"The Obama campaign, and others, have pointed out that Obama said in that speech he would work with Pakistan -- before and after those words above. However, in the sentence and context of having "actionable intelligence about Al-Qaeda," Obama did not say he would consult with Musharraf if Musharraf failed to act. Nonetheless, Obama did say the following his speech... "As President, I would make the hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Pakistan conditional, and I would make our conditions clear: Pakistan must make substantial progress in closing down the training camps, evicting foreign fighters, and preventing the Taliban from using Pakistan as a staging area for attacks in Afghanistan."
Also: "And Pakistan needs more than F-16s to combat extremism. As the Pakistani government increases investment in secular education to counter radical madrasas, my Administration will increase America's commitment. We must help Pakistan invest in the provinces along the Afghan border, so that the extremists' program of hate is met with one of hope."
Nit picking.
Cato, what about 2004? Wasn't turnout extremely high that year? And yet ... we lost. Le sigh.
He should have stuck with what he said first.
Pakistan is not our ally, if you pay attention to what they DO, as opposed to what they SAY.
Nor, for that matter, is Saudi Arabia.
I get the feeling Obama is shooting himself in the foot on this one.
We can't let HRC win the nomination...she's likely to lose it for us.
@2 - I agree. The Dems will attack each other for another year before showing any unity. There will be plenty of flip-flopping between now and then which will be fodder after the nomination.
The Republican dark-horse will be Fred Thompson. He's the answer for all the fundies and conservatives that cringe at the thought of a Pres Giuliani or Romney. (Imagine ... another fucking actor President!)
Obama is crumbling under the pressure already. He's this year's Howard Dean. Very strong out of the gates, lots of campaign cash, but the constitution of a hamster.
obama didn't exactly contradict himself there. he clarifies his statement, a statement that was made in the context of these fucking stupid sound-bite debates which are a really bad idea as cato the younger younger(?) stated above. if you put your candidates into highly time constrained situations and ask them complex questions, they are going to give overly simplistic, foolish, and often contradictory answers. this is all just weaponry for the gop.
"Finally, Mr Poe, why would we nominate a democrat who Fox news wants to be the nomination? I really would like someone to answer that one for me."
Why would we consider anything Fox News has to say before forming our own opinions? Should I be consulting Fox News before making my own decisions for our nomination? Surely if Fox News says that they want someone to be/do something, the outcome will always be on their side if that someone does.
Douglas - to be clear,
Obama went from saying:
"If President Musharraf will not act, we will."
"If President Musharraf cannot act, we should."
That's a major difference in politico speak.
He went from being extremely hawkish to couching his statements.
@ Mr Poe, Fox news has been pushing Hillary to get the nomination. Fox News: The Republican's own network. You should watch just the news coverage on there and Murdoch has given Clinton money as well.
And the GOP dark horse will not be Fred Thompson (he has too many issues for the religous right to support). Like I said the dark horse the GOP picks is unknown to the public yet.
And the 2004 turn out was higher than average (we won with Ohio had the fraud not happened). The real problem is that this lenghtly political season is going to burn out the voter base. Especially since most of the attention is focused on the Democrats.
sam, my point is that if you give someone 10 seconds or less to respond to a question with a 4 hour answer as is done in these "debates", this sort of waffling is what you get, the caliber of the person is irrelevant as anyone can fuck up in this kind of situation. if you want your candidates to be consistent then respect the complexity and nuanced nature of the issues they are faced with.
I'm disappointed he wussed out and backtracked. Quite frankly, the only difference between Pakistan with Musharraf and without Musharraf is that they'll be openly hostile.
You missed my point. I don't care what Fox News has been pushing. I don't care about the Fox News agenda. I don't make my decisions because of something Fox has to say, and I certainly don't change them because of something Fox has to say.
I'm not trying to explain why I'm for Hillary here. I'm not even for her yet. I would be if she'd knot Richardson. I'm trying to explain that it doesn't mean a goddamn thing to me that Fox is pushing for her nom, or that Murdoch sent her some change.
So if Fox News were to change it up and start pimpin' Obama, would you immediately question why anyone would want to nominate him? Because of that?
And no. I will not watch the Fox News coverage. I avoid Fox News like rape.
Al Gore, where are you?
Al gore wasn't that good at short-form Q&A either, was he?
15 -- Pakistan without Musharraf is the Taliban with nuclear weapons. Think about that for a second. They will use them, too.
Backtrack my ass. Why is Eli "Who's Greg Palast?" Sanders covering the presidential race?
It would be the Taliban with nukes until they attack another nuclear power. Then it would be a big crater.

The group behind a citizens' initiative to re-establish an Alaska Coastal Management Program spent more than 100-thousand dollars on its nearly month-long signature gathering effort. Casey Kelly has more.
Juneau Mayor Bruce Botelho is chairman of the Alaska Sea Party and a primary sponsor of the initiative.
"While we still have some bills coming in, rough estimate is 100- to 105-thousand dollars," says Botelho.
From the time it was founded in October to the end of December, the Sea Party reported more than 67-thousand dollars in income to the Alaska Public Offices Commission. It spent more than 59-thousand dollars. Revenue and expenditures for this month (January) are not yet available.
The North Slope Borough gave the Sea Party campaign 25-thousand dollars. Other major donors included the Bristol Bay Borough, the Bristol Bay Native Association, the cities of Valdez and Aleknagik; two Community Development Quota groups: The Western Alaska Community Development Association and the Alaska Pribilof Island Community Development Association; as well as the Alaska Municipal League and the Alaska Conference of Mayors.
The Sea Party's APOC filing shows the group paid Anchorage consultant Scott Kohlhaas 50-thousand dollars – by far the group's largest expenditure. Botelho says Kohlhaas – a 2010 candidate for state House as a Libertarian – organized the petition drive in Anchorage, Fairbanks and the Mat-Su, which included using paid signature gatherers. He also provided verification services. Elsewhere in the state, the Sea Party used about 250 volunteers.
The group delivered 34-thousand signatures to the Division of Elections on Tuesday. By turning them in before the legislature convened, the group achieved its goal of giving lawmakers an opportunity to pass substantially similar legislation during the 90-day session. Botelho admits part of that is a desire to avoid a costly campaign to get voters to approve the initiative.
"We've been told that we should expect to be looking at a campaign of about a half a million dollars. And of course, that doesn't take into account the extent to which there might be an organized opposition," he says.
Lawmakers on Tuesday gave no assurances that they would consider a coastal management bill this session.
The federally funded program, which helped industry and communities navigate the complicated federal and state permitting process for coastal development projects, closed last year after the legislature and Parnell administration failed to work out a deal to reauthorize it.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Deputy coroner Chris Moore says a man found shot to death in the driveway of a northeast Jefferson County home has been identified as 27-year-old Jimmy Brandon Edwards.
He died of a gunshot wound to the back of his head.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a call of a person down just before 7 a.m. Friday on Second Way Northwest near Center Point.
Moore says it appeared Edwards had been running from his assailant because one of his shoes was in the driveway of a home more than a block from where his body was found.
It was unclear Sunday if police had any suspect identified.

Our family has been going to Sol Vista for 5 years now. We love it there! We can always find each other, even though we like to go our own ways and ski our own speeds. All ski runs come to the same conclusion -- at the base lodge. Last year we, too, were disappointed to find that the parking lot has been turned into a construction area. However, we stayed at the newer Kicking Horse Lodges condominiums, so it was really a 'non-issue.' We were able to walk just yards to the Kicking Horse chair lift, and then ski right down to the base lodge from there. President's Day weekend and Spring Break are becoming more crowded than they have been in years past, but Sol Vista is still a great place to ski with family for most of the ski season. You don't have to wait in lines, they have great lessons for the kids, and you know that nobody will get lost, since all runs ski down to the base lodge. Our family loves it there! It is nice to have somewhere to ski without the crowds. We enjoy relaxing at Sol Vista.

Excellent place to ski. Definitely up there if not better than the Cottonwood Canyon resorts. Has the vertical on both Strawberry Gondola and John Paul lifts. Gondolas, lodges, and general facilities are better than anything in the USA/Canada that we have experienced.
Terrain has all sorts of steeps, chutes especially off the John Paul Chair. Off the Strawberry Express Gondola, one gets cruisers, and extreme terrain in the WFO area. Needles in the middle is perfect for warm-ups, and has access to tough terrain, and the lodge on top is awesome. The vertical allows for good long continuous skiing with minimal cat track travel. The Men's and Women's Downhills are just sheer exhilaration, note pretty steep at the top for sure and even lower down but if groomed perfect for the confident intermediate. Lots of backcountry powder experiences available in the right conditions off John Paul and Strawberry.
The lodges really are a place a billionaire can call home so ordinary ski-snowboarders can really relax in a clean environment with great food.
Good place to take kids, crowd intensity was low even though we were there on Holiday weekend.
Just a superb spot. No on-mountain lodging though, but Lakeside Resorts at Huntsville is pretty convenient. Close to SLC, due North towards Ogden.

Series:Star Trek: The Next GenerationThe Enterprise is preparing to help the planet of Bre'el IV; a moon is slipping out of orbit (no, it's not caused by the planet's inhabitants constantly lying), and if they don't do something, it will strike the planet and cause immense devastation. Suddenly Q appears, suspended high in midair and completely naked. He falls lightly to the floor and says cheekily, "Red alert."After being given clothes to put on, Q tells them that the Q Continuum has banished him to a mortal form. Given a fraction of a second to decide what to be turned into and where to be sent, he chose human form and requested to be sent to the Enterprise. Since Q has toyed with the crew of the Enterprise on numerous occasions already, Picard is not convinced that this isn't some attempt by Q at a 'puerile joke' and insists that Q fix the moon. Q insists he cannot, because he has no powers. Picard is still skeptical. When Q further insists, Worf quips that he should "die" if he is indeed mortal.Picard has Worf escort Q to the brig after Q insists on being treated like just any other human. After spending some time there, Q begs Picard to let him out, telling him that he can assist him with the whole moon problem. Picard finally agrees to let him out, and puts Data in charge of him. While working with Data and Geordi, Q comes up with the idea of changing the gravitational constant of the Universe, which Geordi quickly points out is not within their power.Q eventually gets hungry, and goes to Ten-Forward with Data. Here he runs into Guinan, who decides to test Q's lack of powers by stabbing his hand with a fork. "Seems human enough to me."Afterwards, Q orders 10 chocolate sundaes after Data remarks that Counselor Troi often eats them when she's depressed. But when the sundaes arrive, Q says he's lost his appetite.While Q is in Ten-Forward, aliens called the Calamarain find and attack him. Guinan remarks that some of Q's old enemies found out he was now mortal and have come to 'look him up'. Raising the shields succeeds in discouraging the Calamarain. Q remarks that they have no sense of humor.The presence of the Calamarain going after Q is starting to interfere with the Enterprise's mission, resulting in Data getting damaged after they attack Q again. The Enterprise is knocked into the planet's atmosphere and Picard gives Q a dressing down on how selfish he's been. After visiting Data in the medbay, Q realizes that he should probably leave. He takes a shuttle craft out to distract them so that the Enterprise can try another tractor beam on the Moon.Another Q joins him on the shuttle and explains that, due to the selfless act he just committed, the Continuum decided he could have his powers back. (Besides, if Q actually died, there would be questions and investigations for millennia.) Q snaps his fingers and gets his Starfleet uniform back. The other Q disappears. The Calamarain reappear, and Q gathers them into a tiny little ball that he can hold in the palm of his hand, and begins to say that if they thought he tormented them before... but then Other Q's head appears in the wall. "Just checking to see if you were still watching," Q says, then blows on the Calamarain as if blowing out a candle, sending them away.On the Enterprise, they find no further reading from the shuttle, but then it's back in its bay and Q appears, with a Mariachi band accompanying him. Since he has his powers back, he's restored the moon to its natural orbit, and everybody gets cigars! Two women appear on each side of Commander Riker, fawning over him. Riker says, "I don't need your Fantasy Women, Q." to which Q replies, taken aback, "Oh, you're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard!" Riker gives him a rather cryptic look, and in a flash, the same women appear next to a bewildered Worf. Picard gets angry and tells Q to get rid of everything, the band, the women. "ALL of it, Q!" and the cigars.Q reluctantly complies, but then says he wants to give a special gift to Data, his tutor in the humanities. Data says, "If your intent is to make me human, sir-" and Q quickly says, "No, no, I would never curse you by making you human. Think of it as a going-away present." Q disappears, and seconds later, Data makes a snerking sound, like he's trying to suppress a laugh. He does it again, and then breaks out into full-blown hysterical laughter. Geordi asks why he's laughing; Data says he doesn't know, but it's a wonderful...feeling.Soon afterwards, the inhabitants of Bre'el IV contact the ship and say, "Picard, you've done it!" Their moon is back in a stable orbit. Picard is naturally confused, but humbly accepts the credit for saving their world. Picard prepares to get the ship underway, and muses, "Perhaps there's a ...residue of humanity in Q after all." He raises his hand to say Engage, getting as far as "En-" when a cigar flashes into his hand and Q's face appears in the smoke, saying, "Don't bet on it, Picard."

Title: Deja Q
Previous: The High Ground
Next: A Matter of Perspective
Recapper: Koby_Fish
- Big Damn Heroes: Lampshaded by Q; Defied by the other Q.
- Big Eater: Q orders 10 chocolate sundaes. Guinan spoils his appetite before he can eat them, however.
- Big "SHUT UP!": When Q really gets on Worf's nerves:Worf: BE QUIET! Or disappear back where you came from!
Q: I can't disappear, any more than you could win a beauty contest.
- Break the Haughty: Guinan, who has a unique history herself with Q, gets plenty of satisfaction from Q's mortality. She stabs him in the hand to make sure he is indeed mortal.
- Brought Down to Normal: Q. He does not deal with it well.
- But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Q on previously tormenting the Calamarain.Q: A subjective term, Riker. One creature's torment, is another creature's delight.
- Cassandra Truth: Nobody believes Q after being told he's been thrown out of the continuum and stripped of his powers. Of course, the last time Q showed up in "Q Who", he'd used the same explanation before introducing everyone to the Borg.
- Contemplating Your Hands: The other Q does this a lot. Probably not used to even having hands.
- Cool and Unusual Punishment
- Deadpan Snarker: Worf gets his jollies with a single word.Q: I have no powers! Q, the ordinary!
Picard: Q, the liar! Q, the misanthrope!
Q: Q, the miserable! Q, the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?!
Worf: Die.
(beat as Riker tries desperately not to explode with laughter)
Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
Picard: Mr. Worf, throw him in the brig.
- And at the end of the scene:
Worf: Delighted, Captain.
Q: I'm forgiven. My brothers and sisters of the Continuum have taken me back. I'm immortal again! Omnipotent again!
- After Q's powers are restored:
Riker: Swell.
- Driven to Suicide: Eventually Q realizes that he simply cannot stand all the limitations of being a human and that he will never be a good person, and opts to kill himself by hijacking a shuttlecraft and leading the Calamarains away from the Enterprise.
- Entitled Bastard: Q asked his peers to drop him off on the Enterprise after depowering him because he figured that, despite all the trouble he's caused Picard & crew, they'd protect him when his other enemies come looking for revenge.
- Facepalm: Source of the iconic "Picard Single Hand Facepalm Maneuver".
- Which should tell you a lot about this episode.
- First Time Feeling: Q finds sleep and pain to be terrifying experiences.
- Funny Background Event: When Q starts playing with the Mariachi band in the end, there is a wide shot of the bridge crew. Notice Worf just dropping his head down and shaking it in resigned frustration.
- Gratuitous French: Despite the Mexican costume and the Mariachi band Q brought with him.
- Ham-to-Ham Combat: Surprisingly, the other Q manages to out-ham our Q.
- Heel Realization: Q's confession to Picard in the ready room.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Subverted. Q almost made one of these, but his selfless actions impress the Continuum so much that they give him his powers back.
- Data does one for Q; fortunately, he's Not Quite Dead.
- He's Back: The ending.
- Humanity Ensues
- Humans Are Special: Why Q chooses to be sent to the Enterprise. Or possibly "Humans are nice enough that they'll look after me and protect me when they realize I'm actually in trouble despite the fact that I've been a jerkass to them in the past". Either way, he's right.
- Kick Them While They Are Down: The Calamarain. Riker predicts that a bunch more of Q's old victims would line up to do the same, to the point that protecting him would be a full-time job.
Guinan: How the mighty have fallen...
- Also Guinan towards Q.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall:Q: You're so stolid! You weren't like that before the beard.
- Naked on Arrival:
- Naked People Are Funny: The Q Continuum clearly has a twisted sense of humor.
- Noodle Incident: How did the other Q misplace an entire asteroid belt?
- Not Me This Time: The crew thinks Q is behind the moon's collapse.
- Passive Rescue: Attempted. As Q attempts his Heroic Sacrifice, Picard, noting this "goes against his better judgement," decides to save Q...by focusing on saving the shuttle. As he notes to Riker, "It's a perfectly good shuttlecraft."
- Pet the Dog: Q tries to do this to the Enterprise crew after becoming omnipotent again. First, giving Riker some beautiful women fawning for him, then giving them to Worf when Riker turns them down. He finally succeeds, giving Data one brief laugh.
- He does also fix the moon for them and let them take the credit for it.

I have subtitles that are already coded into a video, but which are delayed by 700ms.
I have about 50 episodes of a show and it's getting annoying to have to set the subtitle delay in VLC everytime I want to watch it.
How can I fix these videos?
If you're getting the subtitles from a separate file (ending in
If you absolutely must use a program (rather than a website) then this page has a list of software (for Windows, OS X and Linux) which will not only delay subtitles but do many other useful things. There is also a Super User question asking what the best subtitle editor is.
If the subtitles are already baked into the video, then there is nothing you can do. However since you mention that you're able to change the delay in VLC, then it would suggest that you are using a separate subtitle file.

I managed to go into iTunes and change some settings for the calendar and was able to recover some of my calendar for my iPhone but not all of my events are on there. And my iPad calender has nothing on it! My iPhone has an extra calendar which is the name of my email address and my iPad dosent give me an option for this calendar which is why I think it's blank. So I need to know what my settings should be to find my original calendar that i had on my iPhone?
Can you do a full restore from the backup at iTunes should have made before upgrading? Right click on iPhone in iTunes (device window on left) and hit restore from backup
The same happened to me: I seemed to have lost all my info from my calendar after the upgrade. But it turned out to just not getting displayed any longer:
I got all my data back! I hope it helps.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The surname Roselle was brought to England in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is derived from the Old French "Roc-el," a diminutive of "Rosce," which is itself derived from the Old French "rous," meaning "red." It is likely that the name was first bestowed as a nickname on someone with red hair or a red complexion.
The surname Roselle was first found in Lancashire at Rossall, near Fleetwood. The village dates back to the Domesday Book where it was listed as Rushdale. The first record of the surname was Huges de Rozel. He was one of the benefactors of the Abbey of St. Etienne at Caen, founded by William the Conquerer. It was also borne by Patriz Rozel, a Knight Templar, in 1185.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Rossell, Rossel, Rosel, Rosell, Rozel, Rozell and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Roselle research. Another 277 words (20 lines of text) covering the years 1182, 1195, 1214, 1740 and 1871 are included under the topic Early Roselle History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 31 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Roselle Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Elizabeth Rossell, who immigrated to Virginia in 1652; George Rossell, who came to Maryland in 1659; Francis Rossel, who settled in Pennsylvania in 1683.

William Peace University Partners With St. Timothy's School In Education Sharing ProgramBy William Peace University on January 29, 2013 3:11 pm
Four-Year Baccalaureate University To Collaborate With Local Episcopal Institution For Pre-K Through Eighth-Grade Students On Mutually Beneficial Learning Opportunities
RALEIGH, N.C. – William Peace University (http://www.peace.edu), a private four-year university located in downtown Raleigh, has announced its partnership with St. Timothy's School, an Episcopal educational institution based in Raleigh that teaches pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students. The partnership between the two institutions marks an agreement designed to engage participation by the university's students to teach in St. Timothy's classrooms as well as allow the school's administrators, faculty and families use of WPU's campus facilities when available. The provisions of the partnership call for St. Timothy's to work with university administrators, advisors and faculty to offer internships, student teaching, class observations and guest lesson opportunities for WPU students, and make the university's scholars available for guest lessons and speaking engagements with St. Timothy's faculty and parents. In exchange, the university will provide St. Timothy's access to the university's performing arts venues, large group meeting/reception areas and athletic facilities. Additionally, the university will invite St. Timothy's administrators, faculty and family members to periodic functions, including visiting scholars, seminars and guest lectures.
Located at 4523 Six Forks Road, St. Timothy's School has blended Episcopal school traditions with academic excellence in an environment that has inspired the imagination, fostered creativity and promoted a love of learning among all of its students since it opened in 1958. The school has a staff and faculty of more than 70 individuals, and 464 students were enrolled during the 2011-2012 school year. For more information, visit www.sttimothys.org.
"We are excited to embark on a new level of opportunities allowed to our staff, faculty, students and their parents through this agreement," said Timothy L. Tinnesz, headmaster at St. Timothy's. "As we have limited room on our campus for expansion, we are grateful that this agreement permits us to enjoy some of the many amenities William Peace University provides for its students and the community at large for extracurricular activities. Additionally, we eagerly look forward to the contributions students and scholars from the university can provide in enhancing learning presentations to our students and inspiring them to study more in the process."
"This partnership with St. Timothy's School offers tremendous benefits for both participants," said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., president of William Peace University. "Our students and faculty will receive the chance to share their knowledge with promising young scholars at an established local educational institution that shares the same goals and values as William Peace University. At the same time, the school's community will be able to interact with our campus and its activities on an increased level, including many of our educational outreach events."
William Peace University is located in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was founded in 1857 as Peace Institute, offering education for boys and girls in primary grades and to women from high school to college. Peace, an all-women's college, became a four-year baccalaureate college and graduated its first bachelor's students in August of 1996. Exclusively an all-women's institution for its first 152 years, Peace began offering coeducational evening courses through the William Peace School of Professional Studies in 2009. In 2011, Peace College transitioned to William Peace University and welcomed its first coeducational class to its day program in fall 2012. Its mission is to prepare students for careers in the organizations of tomorrow. On average, more than 90 percent of the university's graduates are placed in jobs or graduate school within one year of graduation. For more information, please visit http://www.peace.edu.
