Do I need a Lawyer?
I get that question fairly often. The most recent was a couple of weeks ago when a young college student came into my office in Hattiesburg. I told him what you probably expect me to say, "Yes, you need a lawyer." Now, I know there's some of you who will say that my answer is motivated solely by money, but that's not true. It's based on my own experience. (I'm using divorce as an example here, but this advice is true regardless of the legal issues faced)
Two days after graduating from law school, my (then) wife told me that she wanted a divorce. Being someone who not only had just graduated law school, but who, in his last year of law school, had taken Domestic Relations, I felt I was smart enough to handle this myself. And you know what, I was smart enough. The problem was, I was emotionally involved in the case.
As I have posted before, when you're going through a divorce, you need the advice of someone who's not emotionally connected with your case. I made a lot of stupid mistakes because I was hoping for a reconciliation. I gave in to demands I shouldn't have.
For your average person, there's another potential "trap." The legal system can be complex, and if you make a mistake it can cost you literally and figuratively. For example, in Mississippi, the venue (where you file the case) of a divorce is also jurisdictional. If you file the divorce in the wrong county, the court may dismiss the case, and you would have to file again in the correct county. (And no, the court shouldn't tell you where to file because that's giving legal advice). That means you have to pay another filing fee, increasing the cost of the divorce.
To wrap this up, I want to remind you of two saying. The first is that the person who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. The second is, a fool and his money are soon parted. Represent yourself, and it may cost you.
Can I Get a Divorce?
Most people understand that if both they and their spouse want a divorce, there is almost nothing that could keep a court from granting that divorce. What happens, though, if you and your spouse don't agree on the divorce?
As with many legal issues, the answer begins with, "that depends." The Mississippi Code recognizes 12 causes for a divorce:
- Natural impotency;
- Adultery;
- Being sentenced to any penitentiary, and not being pardoned before arriving;
- Willful, continued, and obstinate desertion for at least 1 year;
- Habitual drunkenness;
- Habitual and excessive use of illegal drugs;
- Habitual cruel and inhuman treatment;
- Mental illness or mental retardation at the time of marriage;
- Bigamy;
- Pregnancy by another, if, at the time of marriage, the husband did not know of the pregnancy;
- Being related to one another by a degree of kindred that makes such a marriage against the law; and
- Incurable mental illness.
So, if you can meet one of these grounds, you would be able to file for a divorce. You would have to take your spouse to court and prove to the judge the basis for you wanting a divorce.
Military Divorce Revisited
Hattiesburg is home to Camp Shelby. As such, lawyers here in town often have the opportunity to represent military personnel or their spouses in a divorce. I have previously written about military divorce, but focused on the 20-20-20 Rule. Now I'd like to look more broadly at military retirement benefits in a divorce.
A federal law, the Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act, permits states to consider military retirement as marital property, and, indeed, Mississippi does so. The USFSPA allows a state court to have jurisdiction over the retirement benefits only if the servicemember is domiciled or resides there, or consents to the jurisdiction.
It is important to note that even if retirement benefits are awarded to a spouse, that spouse may not be directly paid by the military unless the couple was married for at least ten years of the member's service. Even then, there is a cap on the benefit that can be received—50% for one spouse, and 65% for all former spouses.
On the other hand, if the couple was married for less than ten years of the member's term of service, then payment of the benefit must come from the member spouse. While this can lead to more "uncertainty" regarding the payment, there is an upside to this. The 50% cap that is imposed through direct payment does not apply to payments received from the member spouse.
There are other benefits to consider as well, including disability benefits and survivor benefits. Those are topics for another day.
Adoption by Couples of the Same Gender in Mississippi
"Adoption by couples of the same gender is prohibited" in Mississippi. Anyone who follows the news knows that this is against the current trend of states allowing such adoptions. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in February of this year, issues its opinion on a Louisiana case that makes me wonder how much time that Mississippi law has left.
In Adar v. Smith, the court was faced with a situation in which an unmarried male couple adopted a Louisiana infant under New York law. New York allows the adoption of a child by unmarried couples and Louisiana does not. The couple sought to have their names listed as the parents on the birth certificate, as adoptive parents may do, but the Louisiana registrar denied their request, citing Louisiana's ban on adoption by unmarried couples. The court found that Louisiana had to grant the request because the state had to give the New York adoption decree full faith and credit.
There is a small, but possibly critical difference in the Louisiana law and Mississippi's statute. The Louisiana prohibition focused on the marital status of the adoptive couple, and Mississippi's statute focuses on the gender of the couple. Courts have used such a small difference to uphold one law when another similar law has been found unconstitutional.
I'm not really sure if this difference is enough to cause a court's opinion to differ. You can be sure if the constitutionality of Mississippi's same-gender prohibition is challeged, Adar will be used in the support the challenger's argument. Regardless of my personal views on the subject, I think the Mississippi statute's days are numbered if it is ever challenged.
Please leave your opinions below in the comments.
Why is There a Stigma to Divorce?
We live in an age where, if we believe statistics, 50% or more of marriages end in divorce. So why, if it is so common, is there a stigma associated with it?
My guess is that it's all part of the competitive nature of our society. People no longer are happy to just keep up with the Joneses, they want to do better than the Joneses. That probably extends to our marriages as well.
Even the traditional marriage vows add to the stigma. According to tradition, marriage is "until death do us part." Instead, it sometimes seems as it's until something better comes along.
We–or at least I did, after my divorce–feel like a failure when, after trying your hardest to make it work, one of you finally has had enough and decides to get a divorce. Looking back on my own experience, and looking at those that I help, I can tell you that you shouldn't feel like a failure, and you definitely shouldn't hang your head in shame.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying divorce is something desirable or that should be taken lightly; Heaven knows it's not. I look at it two ways. First, while no one should tear apart "what God has joined together," many marriages, if we're completely honest, were not joined by God. Rather than being the product of careful thought, prayer, and love, the marriage was rushed into by a rush of hormones and warm fuzzy feelings. Second, I have yet to see someone who chose divorce rather than giving their marriage all they could. Sometimes, marriages are too damaged for mere mortals to put them back together.
You're going to hurt; that's normal. You're going to feel afraid and alone; that's normal, too. But it's important to realize that you're not alone, and you're not a failure.
What do you think? Should there still be a stigma associated with divorce?
Adoption – Open or Closed?
Sure, most of my work is divorce, but occasionally, I get to work on something a little cheerier. For example, every now and then, I get to work on one of the happiest events in a person's life, the adoption of a child.
Adoptions can be open or closed. An open adoption means that the birth parents and the adoptive parents reveal their identities to each other. There is no one model for an open adoption; there are many variations of the degree of openness between the birth parents and the adoptive parent.1
As with everything, there are advantages and disadvantages to an open adoption.
For the birth mother, the advantages include having a sense of control from knowing, interviewing, and picking the adoptive parents; an better ability to deal with the sense of loss that comes from giving up the infant; and the potential to develop a relationship with the child after the adoption. The disadvantages for the birth mom include the potential for disappointment as the reality of the adoptive parent doesn't meet the "fantasy," and a feeling of obligation to go through with the adoption when she wants to change her mind.
For the adoptive parents, biggest benefit is the ability to be medically informed, that is, to be familiar with the medical history of the birth mother and perhaps even take part in some of the prenatal care. Other advantages include less anxiety over the birth mother's intentions (since the adoptive parents are familiar with her) and a feeling of "participation" as you see the birth mother progress through her pregnancy. The birth parents should be aware of the downsides: disappointment if the birth mother later decides she wants less interaction with the child or the adoptive parents, and the necessary of setting boundaries with the birth mother.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages for the child as well. In an open adoption, the child receives the benefit of knowing "where did I come from," and the ability to know his or her family medical history. On the other hand, the openness may result in a difficulty to assimilate into the adoptive family, but this risk is present in a traditional "closed" adoption as well [edited by Tim]. Another problem is the risk of the feeling of rejection should the birth mother later decide she wants to reduce the amount of contact.
From Contested to Non-Contested
I was looking back over some of my old posts, and I was surprised that I had not yet covered non-contested divorces in Mississippi, or as their properly called, "irreconcilable differences" divorces (abbreviated to "ID Divorce").
Mississippi does not have true no-fault divorce. If you want a divorce without having grounds for the divorce, you and your spouse must agree to end the marriage. You can leave certain issues, such as property division and child custody, for the court to decide, but there can be no disagreement concerning the desire for divorce.
Sometimes, even when there are grounds for the divorce, the divorce papers will be filed on a fault basis, but alternatively seeking an irreconcilable differences divorce. This is done in case the spouse contesting the divorce later changes his/her mind; it's easier to then dismiss or withdraw the contested grounds and proceed with the ID Divorce.
This week, the Mississippi Court of Appeals heard a case in which this was not done. The judge found that the wife was not entitled to the contested divorce on the basis she sought, but at the conclusion of the trial, the judge told the parties that she could grant them an ID divorce if they could agree.
A few days later, the couple filed a consent to divorce, but there was never a withdrawal of the contested grounds. Despite this mistake, the trial court granted the divorce on the basis of irreconcilable differences.
The husband later filed an appeal contesting the judge's decision regarding the property division. I bet both parties were surprised when the Court of Appeals came back and essentially said, "You were never divorced, so we can't decide the issue of property division."
Don't worry. Our unhappy couple will still be able to live their separate lives. The Court of Appeals sent the case back to the trial court for the couple to follow the correct procedure.
I wonder if the judge doesn't change the property settlement if the husband will again appeal? My guess is he will. Can you figure out what makes me say that?
Collaborative Divorce
While not yet popular in Mississippi, collaborative law is a process by which the parties (frequently divorcing couples), use a series of meetings to come to a fair and mutually acceptable outcome. To have a collaborative divorce, both spouses (and the lawyers) must sign a participation agreement. The key points of the agreement state:
- The lawyers will not litigate the case. If the process fails, and litigation is the only recourse, the original lawyers must withdraw and the parties must retain new lawyers;
- Neither party will take advantage of mistakes by the other side;
- The parties will freely disclose all pertinent information and will not hide any material facts;
- What is said in the settlement meetings remains confidential;
- All experts will be neutral, and hired jointly by both parties and their children; and
- Everyone will behave courteously and in good faith.
As you can see, this appears much different that what most people think of when they think of a divorce. Many experts consider the first provision, the so-called "disqualification" provision to be the key to collaborative law. By not allowing the original lawyers to litigate the case, it takes away any real or perceived incentive for the lawyers to sabotage negotiations. Instead, it aligns the lawyer's interests with the client's.
Collaborative divorce is similar to using mediation in a divorce. However, in mediation, the parties can decide to stop negotiating and proceed to litigation. Additionally, mediation uses a third-party, a mediator, to facilitate negotiations while collaborative law depends on the parties' attorneys to facilitated.
There are no formal training programs in collaborative law recognized by any of the state bars. However, there are various independent organizations, such as the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals that offer training to professionals who want to learn more about the collaborative law process.
Do You Really Want a Mean Lawyer?
Over the years, a number of prospective clients have asked about how mean a lawyer I can be. I used to tell them that I could be as mean as I needed to be. Now, I prefer to discuss some other, related issues.
1. What is the client's overall objective in getting (or getting through) the divorce? Is it punishment for perceived wrongs? Is it to end up with adequate resources to be comfortable after divorce? Is it to have primary custody of the kids or to have a way to share time and responsibility for raising the kids? Is it to end up with certain valuable assets? Is it to come out debt free? Or something else? There's no right or wrong answer. It just helps the lawyer to know what the target is.
2. What kind of relationship does the client want to have with his/her ex-spouse? No relationship, a good one, best friends, neutral relationship or a bad relationship? Again, there's no right or wrong approach. The attorney just needs to know in order to work out the appropriate strategy.
3. What "mean" actions would the client want to take? Some actions are not permissible because they are illegal or unethical for a lawyer to do, and the client needs to understand that. Some actions are legal and ethical, but could be considered "mean" in some circumstances. Within that limited category, what would the client want?
4. How does the client think "meanness" will advance his/her cause? Some clients don't realize that being mean to the other side leads to more hostility and less cooperation. Will that help the client meet his/her needs or achieve his/her objectives?
5. Is the client willing to spend the extra money required to be mean? Unfortunately, for the client, "mean" isn't cheap. The attorney's fees increase dramatically when the attorney sends out numerous letters complaining or demanding action, files numerous pleadings complaining or requesting actions, sets hearings, conducts numerous depositions, demands voluminous discovery and so on. Also, the "tit for tat" strategy comes into play, meaning that whatever one side does to the other is returned again to the first party. The result: more letters, pleadings, hearings, depositions, discovery, etc. Being mean keeps the attorney busy, but it also increases the cost of divorce for both parties.
Often, the desire to hire a mean lawyer is just the natural reaction to pain,anger or fear the client is experiencing. There are certainly times when an attorney must act aggressively and firmly, but most clients just don't need or want a really mean lawyer when they learn how that will affect the case and their lives. And many or most clients can't afford or won't want to pay for a mean lawyer. Having the discussion about taking the mean approach can really be surprising to the client, but it can lead to planning for a better divorce.
How to Hire a Divorce Lawyer That's Right For You
Today, I welcome a friend of mine from the Boston area, Gabriel Cheong, Esq. Gabriel has graciously written a post on how to find the right divorce lawyer for you. Take it away, Gabriel …
Divorce lawyers are not once-size-fits-all. A divorce lawyer that your neighbor liked and used might not be a good fit for you. So how do you find and evaluate a divorce lawyer?
Finding a divorce lawyer is the easy part. First, look at your circle of friends and family for recommendations. If you are too embarrassed to ask or if you don't like their suggestions, then there are online resources you can use. I would suggest Google (search term: <your city, state> divorce lawyer), Avvo.com and Justia.com. [Tim here; just wanted to note that avvo.com does not yet list attorneys in Mississippi.]
After you have a list of lawyers you want to evaluate, what criteria do you use? I suggest looking at three: Quality, Personality and Price.
You evaluate a lawyer's quality by first talking with them. Call them up and ask them some relevant questions. What is the focus of your practice? Are you a general practice law firm? Have you handled my type of case before?
Do a Google search on that lawyer and their firm. Browse through their website and hopefully they have a blog you can look through as well. Blogs are a great way to get to know a lawyer because it lets you see how they think and how they write. It also should give you information about your situation.
You're going to be working with your divorce lawyer for some time so you want one that fits you and your personality. If you're butting heads with your attorney and trying to get the most from a divorce, you're fighting two fronts at once.
Generally, you want a divorce lawyer who's willing to be aggressive but who's not an aggressive person. You want the lawyer to stand firm but you don't want them to be unnecessarily aggressive all the time. This is because divorce is mostly about negotiations. An always aggressive person does not generally negotiate well.
Whereas most people look at price first, I would dare to suggest you look at price last. Here's why.
Hopefully finding a divorce lawyer is a once in a lifetime process. Therefore, do you really want to be bargain shopping for the cheapest lawyer you can find? Probably not. You want a lawyer who satisfies the first two criteria.
Price is of course an issue. If you cannot afford a $300/hr attorney, then you can't afford them. However, if it's a decision between a $200/hr attorney and a $250/hr attorney, then I would seriously ignore the price and look carefully at the first two criteria. Also, ask if the lawyer is willing to do fixed price billing or value billing.

There are two opposite point of views on the role of lighting
fixtures in home design exists. The first point is tightly connected with prioritizing
a functional element in design and architecture. Followers of this point of
view are sure that lighting fixtures have to be purely practical, barely
visible, and not decorative. They believe that light is beautiful by itself
and it is just the matter of precise placement of lighting fixtures with
regards to layout and function of the space.
The second point of view is absolutely opposite. Disciples of the second point of view agree that light
is beautiful by its nature, but this doesn't mean that you can't add to it's
magical glow. Moreover, there are thousands of ways to enhance lighting, known
by artisans and designers.
If you share the second point of view our extensive collection of lighting fixtures
will definitely grab your attention. The past few years have proved to be a
designers and decorators dream as lighting fixtures have become more decorative.
From nostalgic reproductions to architecturally inspired designs, there are
models of lighting fixtures to suit any look in the form of table and floor
fixtures, wall sconces, chandeliers, ceiling lighting fixtures, fixtures for
indirect lighting, and novelty type. We offer a wide selection of lighting
fixtures to catch everyone's imagination. To create a sophisticated look you
should combine more than one type of lighting fixtures. Avoid matched pairs of
lighting fixtures, such as identical table lamps at either side of the sofa. Try
to coordinate your lighting fixtures, not match them. For more interest
select your lighting fixtures in different, but coordinated finishes. For
example, table lamps in antique brass finish can be complimented in the same
room with chandelier or wall sconces finished in antiqued gold leaf.
Moving far beyond the purely practical, by using our lighting
fixtures imaginatively you can create dynamic visual statements, enhance mood
and atmosphere, alter color and emphasize texture. When balanced with shadow,
lighting adds subtlety and excitement, tranquility and mystery.
ABC's of home lighting
lighting and space
lighting and shape
lighting and color
lighting and emotions
selecting and positioning lighting fixtures
colored lighting
built-in lighting
A well balanced lighting scheme is made up of three key
lighting types: a flattering general light, task lighting that performs a
functional purpose, and feature lighting that can put displayed objects in the
spot light. It is the use of a variety of lighting sources at different
intensities that gives a home define character. The quality of lighting we
live in affects our well being. It is scientifically proven that we learn
quicker and work better in warm lighting, and relaxing better with dim
lighting. All of these are consideration points to the
importance of home lighting.
Today's home interiors are not only a thoughtful combination of architectural
forms and decorative elements, but lighting has become an integral part of home
design. Home lighting plays a very significant role in the overall look and
feeling of the home. With the help of lighting fixtures we can accent different
areas, define functional spaces, and visually improve a flow of the living
With different lighting the same room can drastically change appearance. Some
professionals can base whole interior design on lighting alone. There are
endless possibilities of incorporating lighting fixtures into the home
interiors, and interior designers are constantly coming up with innovative
solutions, transforming rooms using lighting. For example, using
paintable wall lighting fixtures that direct light upwards you can add a soft ambiance to a
room. You can also customize the look of this type of fixtures to meet your decorating needs by painting or faux finishing them. Another example of
popular lighting effects used by interior designers is a ceiling highlights. Using specially designed
crown molding for indirect lighting where
light concealed inside the molding diffusing light upwards. This type of
lighting not only create a beautiful affect but visual lifts up the ceiling, making it appear higher.
Lighting should be flexible. Take into account the various activities that will take place in a room: reading, game playing,
TV watching, sewing, conversation, cocktail sipping. Think about your personal
visual comfort. Overhead illumination may provide
minimum level lighting requirements and general lighting distribution. Decorative lighting can meet specific lighting needs—over a
chair or in a nook—independent of overall needs. Decorative lighting can also impart an atmospheric effect. It is unnecessary to turn on
all the lamps in a room at one time.

There is no hard fast rules in regards to location of
particular types of lighting fixtures. Professionals can only recommend to
follow certain general rules of home lighting design. For instant, in the
hallways, walkways and other parts of the home where is a consistent need of
lighting, it is the best to use a lighting fixtures that will provide a
general lighting (ceiling lighting fixtures, chandeliers).
Home entrance lighting. The entry is the
first room encountered when arriving, and the last when departing. The
correct lighting makes it as beautiful as the rest of your home. Let your
entry set the mood for what's to be found deeper within your home. Use
lighting to accent your favorite pieces of art, visually expand the entry
space, lead the eye, and make your guests feel at home.
Living room lighting.
The living room is a gathering place for family and friends
that has to accommodate groups of people with warmth, comfort and style.
Your lighting can help. In the living room along with lighting fixtures for general lighting also use lighting
fixtures that provide a functional and localized for a particular activity
lighting (table lamps, floor lamps). Usually functional lighting fixtures
are located where they are needed - near sofa tables, armchairs etc.

rooms need flexible lighting that can change from functional to romantic to
suit the need and mood of the moment. For bedroom choose lighting that
works, both technically and aesthetically, with decorative style of your
bedroom. Bedrooms that are designed in the traditional styles need gentle
lighting to preserve their mood. In the bedroom
use lighting fixtures that produce a reflective soft lighting.
Near the bed on the bed side table is a great place for a lamp with low
wattage light bulb. Lighting fixtures with the "color corrected" lamps to
obtain the best color distribution are needed near the mirror above dressing
table in the bedroom.

Kitchen lighting.
The kitchen is a very special room in the home. Today's
kitchens are both - a work space and a room for casual entertainment, the
kitchen must change its mood suit the moment and should have lighting for
every mood. For the kitchen is recommended a combination of general
lighting and task lighting. It is very important that working zones (places
where food are prepared, or for dish washing) have separate lighting
fixtures that provide plenty of light that highlights the work area.
Moreover in the kitchens commonly installed small lighting fixtures inside
the cabinets, shelves and other furniture to provide extra lighting for
functional purposes as well as esthetics.

"Light is among the richest experiences our senses have to offer, no other
medium can match it"
Light can glow, create shadows, model forms, reflect from polished surfaces, pass through translucent and transparent forms, distort
shapes, be mystical and romantic – depending upon how light is angled, diffused, and positioned.
Lighting is an element of design which should be used not only
for visual comfort, but also to achieve predetermined emotional responses the lighted environment.

Lighting is one of the most powerful elements of
design. Lighting fixtures can infuse the simplest space with richness and

plays of shadow and color. Lighting fixtures can transform the atmosphere of a
room in the same way that lighting in theater transform the stage.

Position yourself into the room about where you want the chandelier to be placed...

Exactly where chandelier goes in the room is an important design consideration. A chandelier is usually a significant part of a room's decorative scheme and has a strong visual presence. The first thing to consider is the wiring because it involves not only electrical work, but often carpentry, plasterwork, and painting. So where to place the junction box, which will determine where the chandelier will be hung, is something you want to get right the first time...

Hearing scheduled on Hawaii employee overpayment
HONOLULU Hawaii's Senate Special Committee on Accountability has scheduled a hearing in response to an investigation that found the state overpaid employees by more than $2 million.
Some reasons for the overpayments include failure to report employee terminations, reduced hours and leave without pay in a timely manner.
The committee will consider two resolutions requesting that the State Auditor conduct a financial and management audit of state agencies to assess the scope of the overpayments to public employees.
Committee Chairwoman Sen. Donna Mercado Kim says she intends to examine payroll and sick leave procedures, as well as statutes that deal with recovering overpayments.
The committee will take testimony in order to gain a clearer understanding of how the overpayments occurred and what course of action should be taken to recover them.

Chavez Jr: De La Hoya's 156 Reply Shows Canelo is Scared!
By Ryan Burton
After his fifth round stoppage of Peter Manfredo, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was bombarded by the media about the likelihood of a potential showdown with fellow Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo"" Alvarez.
"If he's not scared," said a blunt Chavez.
The son of the legend said he would love to face Alvarez but doesn't think that Canelo really wants to fight him. He said that Alvarez's team wants conditions that are unrealistic when it comes to making the fight.
Chavez is the WBC middleweight champion while Alvarez is the junior middleweight champion of the same organization. Alvarez however has fought several of his fights at catch-weight's between the welterweight and junior middleweightlimit and an agreement for a catch-weight against Chavez is the major sticking point in making the fight.
Alvarez's promoter Oscar De La Hoya has recently said that for the fight to happen Chavez must agree to a 156 pound weight limit which Chavez says is impossible for him to make.
"They want me to fight at 156 pounds. I cannot go down to 156. They make all of these conditions on the fight. If he really wants the fight then let's do a catch-weight that works for us both. To me that shows that he is scared," said Chavez
Chavez went on to say that he thinks Alvarez is a good boxer and that the fight would generate a lot of interest amongst the fans.
"Between Mexicans there are always good fights. Of course it will be a good fight. He is a good fighter. If he isn't scared let's do it," said Chavez.
Send questions or comments to [email protected] Follow Ryan on Twitter @ringsidewriter and tune in to The Boxing Lab, Boxingscene's official audio on Tuesdays. The show is hosted by Ernie Gabion, Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton.

MIMIC Simulator
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
MIMIC Simulator is a product suite from Gambit Communications consisting of simulation software in the network and systems management space.
The MIMIC Simulator Suite has several components related to simulation of managed networks and data centers.
MIMIC SNMP simulator solves a classical simulation problem: network management software typically manages large networks. Traditionally, in order to set up such networks for the purposes of software development, software testing or training, physical equipment had to be separately purchased and assembled in laboratories. To reduce the expense, most of the network can be simulated (e.g. see [1]).
The principle behind SNMP simulation is that the SNMP protocol is an interface that can be simulated. SNMP requests carry data values for MIB objects, which can be shaped at will by the simulator, thus representing any device which has an SNMP interface. In contrast to network simulation, where the entire network is modelled within a computer, this type of empirical simulation is visible on the network, and one can communicate with the simulator over the network.
The concept can be extended to other protocols such as for cable modems, CLI such as Cisco IOS (see [2]) or TL1, or IPMI.
MIMIC IOS Simulator allows simulating the CLI protocol as encountered with Cisco IOS, JUNOS, TL/1. The low-end MIMIC Virtual Lab products [3] [4] can be used for training for Cisco CCNA.
MIMIC IPMI Simulator simulates the IPMI RMCP via LAN interface for high-end servers.
MIMIC Web Simulator handles HTTP / SOAP / XML / WSDL interfaces for management via Web services.

By mid Feb. I disputed the charge on my credit card to get my money back since it had been 7 weeks since I had ordered and been charged for the snuggies.
After over 9 weeks since I had ordered the crap snuggies, they were delivered.
My advice is to get as many reviews as you can for anything you contemplate ordering on line before ordering.

I called and spoke to Eric - what a jackass. I asked him to provide a detailed breakdown of the charges on the invoice. He indicated that the battery charger was part of a "kit". He then said that the extra $100 was for tax. When I told him I lived in TX and shouldn't be charged tax, he told me he had several other people on hold and that he'd call me back within 15 minutes. An hour later I called back and asked for him.
He answered the phone (I recognized his voice) and when I asked for Eric, he said that Eric wasn't around. I briefly explained the situation and told him I wanted a refund for the "tax" and the battery charger. He offered to refund me $40. I told him that I would either receive a full refund or I'd return the camera. After being on hold for almost an hous, I was transferred to Christine who gave me the same run around.
She offered to refund $80. She transferred me to her supervisor, a woman named Jack. She offered to refund $120 of the $250 overcharge. I told her I wanted a full refund of the overcharges. She told me to send the camera back. I indicated that I'd be disputing the charges and would be contacting the BBB.
SHe said I'd be responsible for the $79 shipping charges in addition to a 10% restocking fee (although their website indicates a 5% fee). Not only did they attempt to defraud me, their shipping charges are exorbitant, their customer service is non-existant, they pose behind another company name. I ordered the camera from royalcamera.com, but the invoice is from CCI Camera City.
I will never do business with this disreputable company again. They give internet businesses a bad name. Avoid them like the plague. They are simply frauds.

The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others. Rather, we must criticise ourselves. How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life.

"I think that this is the first time I am meeting most of you. But to me, whether it is an old friend or new friend, there's not much difference anyway, because I always believe we are the same; we are all human beings. Of course, there may be differences in our cultural background or way of life, there may be differences in our faith, or we may be of a different color, but we are human beings, consisting of the human body and the human mind. Our physical structure is the same, and our mind and our emotional nature are also the same. Whenever I meet people, I always have the feeling that I am encountering another human being, just like myself. I find it is much easier to communicate with others on that level. If we emphasize specific characteristics, like I am Tibetan or I am Buddhist, then there are differences. But those things are secondary. If we can leave the differences aside, I think we can easily communicate, exchange ideas, and share experiences."

Let me tell you what is wrong with the world. Look at children. Of course they may quarrel, but generally speaking they do not harbor ill feelings as much or as long as adults do. Most adults have the advantage of education over children, but what is the use of an education if they show a big smile while hiding negative feelings deep inside? Children don't usually act in such a manner. If they feel angry with someone, they express it, and then it is finished. They can still play with the person the following day. For me, that is the honest, natural way for basic human nature to act in such situations.

In the Buddhist approach, wordly happiness is based on what we call the four excellences: the Dharma, wealth, nirvana, and satisfaction. Nirvana, or freedom from suffering, is the ultimate goal. The satisfaction achieved from a successful temporal life is just a transient goal. The teachings are the means to achieve ultimate inner freedom, whereas money and wealth facilitate worldly happiness, temporary satisfaction. One strives to achieve that which is positive for all beings. To do so, one must attend to both ultimate and temporary goals. Well being and money belong to the latter category. In fact, Buddhist texts mention the fruition of eight qualities including wealth, health, and fame that define a "fortunate" human existence. To enjoy even temporary happiness, however, one must first have peace of mind. Next comes health, then good companions, and then money, in that order, though of course all four aspects are connected. For example, when we had to escape from Tibet, our first priority was to save our lives. Being penniless was secondary. If one is alive, it is always possible to make friends and earn money. Peace of mind must come first. Peace of mind generally attracts prosperity. Certainly someone who has peaceful of mind will use his or her money judiciously. The mind is key. If anything should be considered a god, so to speak, it is the mind, not money. A healthy positive mind is the utmost priority. But if we were to reverse the order of these priorities, what would happen? I find it hard to imagine how a person with great wealth, bad health, no friends, and no peace of mind could feel even slightly happy.

I got the impression you were asking whether someone can practice different religions simultaneously. Let me share my thoughts on this. As you may know, I consider the existence of a variety of religions useful for humanity. In the preliminary stages of one's spiritual research, one can practice both Christianity and the Bhuddadharma. One can, for example, respect and have faith in the Buddha's teachings on non-violence, compassion, and tolerance, while remaining skeptical about karma and reincarnation, and basically believe in the Creator and feel close to God. At that level, I think it is possible to practice two or even more traditions. It is like being in school: as long as you remain at the general level, you may study a range of subjects. But as you progress to higher studies, you should choose one specialization. For someone who goes deeper into Buddhist practice, which is based on voidness, interdependence, and no absolute, there is no place for belief in a creator. The opposite is also true. For a Christian, the essential points are the Creator, love of God, and love of fellow human beings. I asked a Christian priest and friend of mine why the theory of rebirth was unacceptable to a Christian of deep conviction. He replied, "The belief that this very life, without any other one preceeding it, is created by God is what develops the feeling of intimacy with the Creator." I saw a positive meaning in that. For a genuine Christian, it is not possible to accept rebirth and, even more important for us Buddhists, the belief that everything is interdependent. When you reach a certain level of practice, you have to make a choice.

Religion is important for humanity, but it should evolve with humanity. The first priority is to establish and develop the principle of pluralism in all religious traditions. If we, the religious leaders, cultivate a sincere pluralistic attitude, then everything will be more simple. It is good that most religious leaders are at least beginning to recognize other traditions, even though they may not approve of them. The next step is to accept that the idea of propagating religion is outdated. It no longer suits the times.

Compared to his contemporaries, #89 has triple the receiving yards in the postseason than Andre Johnson and is on par with Larry Fitzgerald in yards and touchdowns. Steve also has more combined yards than the other two and none of the three have any rings.

Guess where I found this navajo inspired printed rug? It's from a chain store where they sell brand new things that mimic old, vintage things. Yep, Urban Outfitters, my favorite high-end thrift store. I was doing some last minute holiday shopping there and found this rug in the dirt cheap sale bin. I also saw a few adorable things that weren't on sale, like this owl umbrella stand. What do you think of it? I've been desperately looking for a rug that's under $50, which is like impossible to find. And this was for 20 bucks—what a deal!
