Apple Forced to Pay Samsung's Legal Fees in UK Court Order

The UK court made this call after Apple posted an inaccurate notice on its UK website
After posting a snarky notice on its UK website, Apple was ordered to pay a majority of Samsung's legal fees.
Last month, a UK court ruling ordered Apple to
post a notice
to Samsung on its website, saying that the South Korean electronics maker didn't steal the designs of the iPad after all. Apple obeyed the order, but with a snarky tone that made sure to highlight a few facts in Apple's favor.
The UK court found that this notice was "false and misleading," and ordered Apple to take it down at once. Apple was
told to rewrite the apology
to Samsung, and it posted a notice on its website saying that its former "apology" was inaccurate. The new apology even
appeared in UK newspapers
However, a rewrite was not enough. The Court of Appeal of England and Wales has further ordered Apple to pay the legal fees of Samsung on an indemnity basis. The exact amount that Apple must pay is unclear, but reports are saying Apple will pay a majority of the fees.
The Apple-Samsung patent war began in April 2011 when Apple claimed Samsung was an
"iPhone, iPad copycat."
Apple worked pretty hard to ban Samsung's smartphones and tablets around the world, and successfully accomplished this in countries like Germany and Australia. Samsung launched a few lawsuits of its own regarding
3G patents
, and was also able to lift the ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia in December 2011. However, Samsung
wasn't so lucky in Germany
, where the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is still banned.
Back in August, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California reached an unfavorable verdict for Samsung, saying that the South Korean electronics maker was
guilty of violating technology patents
. In other words, most of Samsung's smartphones and tablets in question were found guilt of copying Apple's iPhone and iPad designs. It was ordered to pay $1.05 billion in damages to Apple.
Samsung suffered further losses in the U.S. when an ITC judge ruled that
Samsung violated four Apple patents
, including the flat front face with wider borders at the top and bottom, the lozenge-shaped speaker about the display screen; the translucent images for applications displayed on the screen, and the device's ability to detect when a headset is plugged in.
The Verge
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Unofficial DataVolley Stats * Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 6, 2011) - The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team overwhelmed Korea 25-10, 25-12, 25-13 with a 14-0 block advantage on Sunday at Nagano, Japan, to improve to 3-0 at the FIVB World Cup.
With the victory, the U.S. moved into sole possession of first place with nine points and is one of two undefeated teams (Italy is 3-0 with eight points). After a travel day from Nagano to Toyama, Japan, Team USA resumes World Cup action versus African champion Kenya on Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. Japan Time (6 p.m. PT on Nov. 7).
The FIVB World Cup is a 12-team field competing in a round-robin format resulting in 11 matches over a 15-day period. The three teams reaching the World Cup medal podium on Nov. 18 will earn berths into the 2012 Olympic Games. For the full FIVB World Cup schedule and tournament details, visit the U.S. Women's tournament event page at usavolleyball.org/events/8883.
The U.S. opened the first set with a 5-1 lead and limited Korea to only one point on its own service in cruising to a 25-10 victory. Korea managed just three kills and an ace in the opening set as its six other points were on U.S. errors. Team USA cruised to an 11-3 lead in the second set and went on to a 25-12 victory as the Americans played 10 players in the set. Korea stayed close in the third set until a 4-0 run by the Americans created a 10-4 margin and pushed the U.S. to a 25-13 victory.
"I'm very happy with today's match," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Our team was very good today. It's important as the tournament progresses that we continue to improve with every match and I thought we did that today. Korea is a good team and can cause you a lot of problems, but our group was very focused and determined, and I thought they executed at a high level. Hopefully we can continue that as we go to the next site. Lastly, thanks to the local organizers here in Nagano. It's been great to be here and we look forward to the rest of the competition."
The U.S. had eight players reach the scoring column, including 15 points coming off the bench. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) scored five kills on eight errorless attacks, four blocks and three aces for 12 points. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) matched her 12 points with nine kills on 14 errorless attacks and three blocks. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed seven kills on 14 swings and a block for eight points. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) came off the bench to pocket six kills on 10 swings and two blocks for eight points.
Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) provided seven points on five kills and two blocks. Tayibba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) charted six points on five kills via 11 attacks and a block. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) tacked on three kills on three attacks and a block for four points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
The U.S. converted 55.4 percent of its attacks into points and produced a .500 hitting efficiency with just four attack errors (41-4-74). Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) totaled 22 assists and was named the most impressive player of the match, while Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) came in off the bench to add 10 assists. Meanwhile, Korea converted only 19.8 percent of its attacks with a negative .044 hitting efficiency (18-22-91).
"Tonight was a great night for USA Volleyball," Berg said. "We came out very determined – probably more determined than the last two nights – and came out to take care of business. I'm happy that we won tonight and happy to come out of the first leg 3-0, and we're ready to take it to the next stop and continue on this road."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) tallied seven excellent receptions on eight attempts for the U.S., which tallied a 58.1 excellent reception percent as a team. She added a team-high five digs, while Tom chipped in four digs.
McCutcheon started Berg at setter, Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker and Hooker at opposite. Davis was the designated libero for the match. Hodge came into the match in the second set and started the third set in place of Larson. Haneef-Park subbed in the first two sets, then started in place of Hooker in the third set. Glass was a sub in all three sets, while Scott-Arruda and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) were subs in the third set.
In addition to its 14-0 block advantage, the U.S. held a 41-18 margin in kills and 3-1 edge in aces. Team USA also managed a 19-17 advantage in digs.
Youn-Joo Hwang led Korea with six points, while Yeon-Koung Kim added five points in the loss.
Earlier today in Nagano, Serbia (2-1, 6 points) defeated Kenya (0-3, 0 points) 19-25, 25-22, 25-11, 25-11 and Brazil (2-1, 6 points) handled previously unbeaten Germany (2-1, 6 points) 25-21, 23-25, 25-23, 25-21. At Hiroshima's first-round site, Italy (3-0, 8 points) overcame a slow start to defeat Dominican Republic (1-2, 3 points) 28-26, 25-13, 25-12, Argentina (2-1, 6 points) beat Algeria (0-3, 0 points) 25-18, 25-12, 20-25, 25-16 and China rallied past host Japan 20-25, 19-25, 20-25, 25-23, 15-13.

The U.S. scored the first three points of the first set as Akinradewo collected back-to-back kills after a Tom spike. Team USA stretched the lead to 5-1 after Korea committed a service error and attack error prompting an early timeout. The Americans reached the first technical timeout leading 8-3 after a Hooker block and Larson kill. Out of the break, Larson hit a cross-court winner to extend the lead to 9-3. Hooker and Tom connected for consecutive kills to increase the margin to 11-4. Bown and Akinradewo combined for back-to-back kills to provide the Americans a 13-5 margin at Korea's second timeout. The U.S. scored seven straight points on a kill each by Akinradewo Hooker, two Larson kills, blocks by Hooker and Bown and capped by an Akinradewo ace to push the score to 22-8. After Korea scored its first consecutive points to close to 22-10, the U.S. scored the final three points with kills by Hooker and Larson around a Korea error for a 25-10 victory. Akinradewo led the U.S. with six points in the opening set, while Larson and Hooker added five points. The Americans out-blocked the Koreans 4-0.
Akinradewo provided the U.S. a 4-2 lead in the second set with an ace after a Korea service error. Team USA added the to the advantage with a Larson kill after a Korea attack error to force Korea into a timeout down 6-2. Out of the break, Bown scored a kill and Larson put up a block for a sixth straight point going into the first technical timeout leading 8-2. Haneef-Park scored a block between two Korea errors as the Americans built an 11-3 advantage. Korea scored consecutive points at 13-7. Hooker pocketed a kill and block on back-to-back points to give the Americans a 16-8 lead at the second technical timeout. Hodge knocked down a kill and Akinradewo followed with her third ace to lift the U.S. in front 18-9. The American advantage reached 12 points at 24-12 after kills from Hooker and Hodge and a block by Akinradewo around a Korea error. Team USA concluded the set at 25-12 as Korea hit long for a fifth unanswered American point. Hooker tallied seven points in the set to pace the Americans, which tallied four blocks and two aces in the stanza.
The Americans opened the third set with an Akinradewo blocks and Korea error for a 2-0 advantage. Hodge followed a Korea error with a kill for a 4-1 advantage. The U.S. went into the first technical timeout leading 8-4 with a Tom kill after a Korea error. Out of the break, Tom added a block and Korea hit long for a 10-4 U.S. advantage. Team USA raised the advantage to 14-7 with a Haneef-Park kill and Hodge block. The Americans reached a 19-11 lead with a Scott-Arruda kill and block by Akinradewo. Haneef-Park and Hodge connected for back-to-back kills at 21-12, then Korea had an attack error at 22-12. Haneef-Park gave the Americans match point at 24-13 with a kill after a Korea service error. Hodge ended the set with a kill at 25-13.

The Korean GMC Company has been manufacturing computer cases since 1996. Its brand is often associated with midrange products without extraordinary features although some people may remember the flat HTPC cases from the Noblesse AV series or the slender cases from the Slim-ATX series. And today we are going to discuss three rather interesting products from that firm. Two of them, the R2 Toast and R3 Corona, are based on the same chassis and resemble each other very much. Both represent an original approach to reducing the dimensions of the computer case. The third model, AVC-K2 Ebony, is designed for HTPCs. As opposed to most products of that class, it is a regular tower rather than a flat case. Well, it is only regular in terms of interior design and shape because its front panel is unique. So, let's get started.
GMC R3 Corona and R2 Toast
The R2 Toast and R3 Corona share the same interior and only differ in the design of the front panel, so we will be using the R3 Corona for our discussion.
Trying to create a compact case, the developers usually go one of two ways: they switch to microATX format and reduce the height of the case or, occasionally, switch to microATX and position the mainboard in the case horizontally, producing a characteristic cubic shape. GMC went its own way. Its engineers do not make the user switch to smaller mainboads. The cases are ATX, but have a reduced length. This is a reasonable idea because office desks usually offer a rather small shelf for the computer. And if you put your computer on your desk, it is the area it occupies rather than its height that matters the most.
A typical tower is about half longer than the R3 Corona. The latter may even look awkward at first sight because its height doesn't seem to be proportional to its length.
The front panel is made from glossy plastic. It reflects everything around and collects speckles of dust and your greasy fingerprints. There is a large Power button in its center and a block of interface ports together with a Reset button at the bottom. But where are 5-inch bays you may wonder? Few people would want to run their computers without an optical drive.
As for ventilation, the front panel has no holes, but the side panel has as many as two vents opposite the processor and graphics card.
Well, this system case is not intended for office use only, so you can indeed install an optical drive into it. The drive is just positioned vertically, in parallel to the front panel, in the latter's top protrusion. Its tray moves out downward through a slit that is originally covered with a plastic bracket (by the way, don't forget to remove it – this is not a decorative faceplate). Now it's clear how GMC has managed to reduce the length of the case so dramatically. They have just got rid of all 5-inch bays. So, if you've got a removable rack or some device for a 5-inch bay, or if you have more than one optical drive in your system, you should not waste your time on this model. However, most users have only one optical drive, leaving the other 5-inch bays empty in their computers.
There is nothing wrong in the unusual position of the drive. Of course, you now cannot put your cup of coffee down on it, but you also cannot break it accidentally. When extended, the tray blocks the Power button but doesn't reach to flash drives and cables plugged into the system case's front-panel connectors.
There is a standard selection of connectors in the front panel: two USB ports and two audio sockets. The cutout for a FireWire port is blocked with a plastic stub.
The rear panel is perfectly standard. Besides length, the developer minimized the width of this case, so there are seats for two 80mm fans (instead of one 120mm fan, as usual) at the back panel. Running a little ahead, we can tell you that our Zalman CNPS9500 AT cooler fitted into the case easily, but there can be problems with huge modern super-coolers. On the other hand, this very special case is not meant for super-fast configurations.
There is a rather large vent hole in the right panel opposite the power supply: the front panel is free from vent holes while the components need cooling. And what is this lever near the front panel for?
It opens the optical drive's tray. It is unhandy to press the eject button of a drive whose front panel faces down and is hidden from view, so the system case offers this lever which is mechanically connected to the eject button. It works simply and easily. The only requirement is that the drive's button be in its standard place.
The solution is very simple mechanically. It is a regular lever turning around the horizontal axis.
The case stands on four simple feet made from rigid plastic – inexpensive system cases often have such feet.
Just as any decent modern system case, the R3 Corona has a plastic funnel on the left-panel vent hole. It brings the air closer to the CPU cooler. Such funnels are only more or less efficient with small coolers, like the boxed ones, so we removed it to install our cooler. You can also attach an 80mm fan in its place.

It doesn't matter how many so-called "weapons" you put around a quarterback. The Shiny Hood Ornament Man Law tells us that quarterbacks make wide receivers, not the other way around. And right now we have four years of evidence saying that Ryan is not good enough to make his receivers better.
Which is of course not to say that the Browns do not need to add more "playmakers" to the team - they do. It is just to say that those that bemoan Cleveland's lack of WR/TE talent versus the top passing teams have to take into account that the QB's of those teams are almost certainly making those Receivers look better than they probably are; i.e. most of them wouldn't look all-world in, say, Washington.
Let's look at the 3 teams most people regard as the top Offenses:
New England -
Wes Welker - Undrafted, 3rd team
Chad Johnson - 2nd round, 2nd team
Deion Branch - 2nd round, 2nd team
Julian Edelman - 7th round
Rob Gronkowski - 2nd round
Aaron Hernandez - 4th round
New Orleans -
Marques Colston - 7th round
Robert Meachem - 1st round
Devery Henderson - 2nd round
Lance Moore - undrafted, 2nd team (cut by Browns)
Jimmy Graham - 3rd round
Green Bay -
Greg Jennings - 2nd round
Donald Driver - 7th round
Jordy Nelson - 2nd round
James Jones - 3rd round
Jermichael Finley - 3rd round
You could argue that those 3 teams are just obviously superior in selecting talent, and there might be something to that. But it's hard to believe that many of these players would've grown into what they are had they been drafted by a franchise with a carousel at both Head Coach and QB... kind of like a team we know.
And then one would conversely wonder what certain Browns Receivers might look like if they had been drafted by one of the above 3 teams, aka a team with a good QB.
Again, not saying that the Browns WR corps is comparable to those teams... just saying that the QB situation here probably makes the WR/TE situation look worse than it is.

Hispanic millennials more optimistic than other millennials, survey finds
The Columbus Dispatch - September 19, 2013 11:22 AM
Hispanic millennials have a better outlook when it comes to their financial future than other millennials, according to a PNC survey.
Hispanics between the ages of 20 and 29 are more likely to say their're doing better financially than their parents were at the same age, carry less debt than non-Hispanics and are savvy about ways to improve their credit, the survey found.
The survey found that 57 percent of millennial Hispanics think they are doing better than their parents were at the same age compared with 52 percent of whites and 50 percent of African-Americans.
One potential reason for their optimism: Hispanic millennials are more likely to live with their parents, allowing them to pay off debt and find their financial footing.

"Look's like God's put that intern in charge of famous deaths again. The one who hates genius. "
BJT Management Series: Susan Aselage, president and vice chairman of Sabreliner Corporation
Susan Aselage has been with St. Louis, Missouri-based Sabreliner since its inception in 1983, when she became its second employee. Today, nearly 200 people work for the diversified aviation-services company, which manufactures parts for new and used fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and repairs and maintains existing aircraft. Aselage, who manages the company's day-to-day activities, is also leading its charge into VIP completions for Blackhawk helicopters, three of which Sabreliner recently delivered to the king of Bahrain and the king and crown prince of Jordan. In her spare time, she is an accomplished equestrian. Here, she talks about her management style and relentless focus on customer service.
I am originally from Boston, and I started my career in New York City. It was a big adjustment moving to St. Louis. When you talk to people in New York and you say you're from St. Louis, you can just see them trying to remember exactly where it is.
Our organization is very flat. I believe that each employee is individually responsible for the success of the company and the wellbeing of his or her colleagues. It's not just me sitting on top making all the decisions. Ideas have to come from everywhere.
There is no job that is more important than anyone else's. A mechanic's job is just as important as my job. I cannot do his job. Maybe he can do mine, but I know I cannot do his. My main task as president is to provide others with the tools they need to do their jobs.
Problems do not get better with age. When thorny situations arise, you need to jump on them as soon as possible, because little things will escalate to big things if you do not deal with them immediately.
You can plan only so much and we have had a series of unexpected challenges. When those happen, you just have to deal with the facts in front of you and move forward.
I carry two iPads and one iPhone, so I am always totally connected and I have a detailed calendar.
There are two groups of people you really need to pay attention to: the customers and the employees. They both involve a lot of soft build. People are not something you can neatly map out on a spreadsheet.
I am wary of customer surveys and focus groups, because one-on-one with the individual customer is always where you get the true answers. I really enjoy being with customers, talking with them, seeing what is going on.
I look for people with heart, because they will always go the extra mile. Those employees are hard to find, so if you do find them, you keep them.
When you ride horses and especially if you are competing in a horse show, somebody has to be very calm and patient, and that has to be you.
The most important thing a leader can do is model integrity 24/7, even when people aren't watching. You have got to do the right thing even when nobody knows, and it has to be consistent throughout your life.
Susan sounds to be a great leader,it's the kind of leadership that we are missing in our today's life. I very much agree with all her points and especially her point for Customer Surveys. It's only through the one-on-one with the customer that we get the true answers.
I believe we are wasting so much productivity by relying and executing routine surveys for acquiring feedback.
I certainly agree that talking to customers one on one is essential but surveys offer the anonymity that allows customers to truly vent without the worry of the perception by the company employees that he is a "complainer" etc. etc.
Also one should diversify customer base...or we just lay everyone off and not pay the bills we have due from small businesses in the communities our shops are in.
IDEA: Pawn one of your iPads and pay your bills

This senior profile is part of Spectator's 2014 commencement special issue. Check out the 17 other senior profiles, the class day ceremony recaps, and a timeline of the biggest events of the last four years.
Gerardo Romo, CC '14, first found out about Columbia from a brochure he received in his mailbox after taking the PSAT his sophomore year in high school. It was from that moment on that he decided he wanted to come to New York City.
"I was like, Oh, I want to go to Columbia, and I want to find my gay community,'" he said. "I was going through it [the brochure] and people were talking about the Core and stuff, and I saw gay faces. ... I was like, I want to go,' and I didn't really realize how hard it is to get in there because I'd never heard of it."
Romo, an ethnic studies major with a track in Latino studies and a special concentration in women's, gender, and sexuality studies, was the first student ever to come to Columbia from his high school in Perris, California. As the founder of his high school's Gay-Straight Alliance—the first in his school district—Romo recalled feeling lonely as one of only a few out students at his school of 3,000.
"There was a lot of homophobia, a lot of name-calling and stuff—it was very isolating," he said. "I came to Columbia with a very specific vision of wanting to be involved in queer stuff because I had very specifically left my hometown to try and find a queer community."
But once Romo arrived at Columbia, he said it was difficult to find his place within the University community because of his different background. He said he started going to Counseling and Psychological Services because, though he didn't want to be alone, he felt anxious whenever he was with a group of people.
"A lot of people were coming from private schools. I feel like there's some similar bond people have when they're coming from these well-off places—even people who grew up poor, but they ended up going to private schools, boarding schools—I feel like they have a sense of cultural knowledge," he said. "I felt very isolated, and I felt really sad, and I was just like, What did I do?'"
Although Romo joined both the Columbia Queer Alliance and Everyone Allied Against Homophobia, Columbia's two main undergraduate LGBT groups, he said he didn't feel like he found his place in the queer community until moving to Q House his sophomore year and joining Proud Colors—an LGBT group for students of color that he later led.
"I didn't feel like I had a community, I didn't feel like we were fighting for the stuff I wanted to fight for, and I didn't feel like I fit in with the queer community," he said. "My sophomore year, I was in Proud Colors, I was in Q House, and that was when everything changed for me, because in Q House—I wasn't alone anymore."
Soon, Romo started managing the Proud Colors listserv and worked to expand the organization. He served as an executive board member until his senior year. When Romo first became involved, Proud Colors had about four active members. The group now has around 20 active members.
"Proud Colors ... was where I really found my space because ... we could really talk about anything," he said. "It was a space where we talked about our experience, we talked about our bodies, how we feel about our bodies, what it means to have a queer community whose aesthetic is based on a white body."
Romo said the best part about being a senior in Proud Colors was seeing first-years find a home in the group.
"A lot of people first coming here and when they say, I don't know where I would be if we didn't have Proud Colors'—people say that every year and that's very powerful for me," he said. "Because I know where I was without Proud Colors."
"The queer community in general—from Q House to CQA—everyone is conscious that there's privilege in the queer community," he said. "And Proud Colors forces people to acknowledge it. We are a solid board—there's nothing that's going to tear us down."
After graduation, Romo said he hopes to continue to build communities for marginalized peoples within already existing hierarchies, much like what he has done in college.
"Unless we're intervening and challenging it, nothing's going to change, because these power structures are normalized in our society," he said. "Unless you challenge it, you're going to internalize it and reproduce it."

Indian food. The curries here are wonderful, and relatively inexpensive for a decent meal.
If you're staying near the city centre, EastZEast is a really nice place for a curry. Then again, you can always run down the Curry Mile (which is south of the university and city centre) and have all the choices in the world to go with. Head out for a drink at Lass O'Gowrie- a generally excellent guest ale selection.

1-13 Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals
Is that just a general statement or a reference to me making that stupid joke 5 times in the news thread?
Depends on your experience. Anthrax was fun, but I always hated pits out on the lawn and watching metal from so far away or otherwise paying up the ass for seats. I've seen all 3 bands I wanted to see before, and nothing was really fantastic or terrible enough (successfully avoided all the other second stage bands ) to make or break the show by itself.

MAYHEM FEST 2012: Worst concert of 2012. Hands fucking down
Well I think its time….ladies in gentlemen. Behold, hands down, one of the worst days of my life, which turned mayhem fest 2012 into easily the worst concert of 2012 for me.
Well i guess ill just get straight to it..
Had work at 7 am, worked till 4, got off only find out some fucking horrible fucking crazy ass shit. I don't think this is the best place to share super personal stuff seeing how i don't really know any of you and the ones that i have met i don't think i would consider you people good enough mates to share this kind of stuff with. Anyways long story short, some really personal shit went down and it killed what could have easily been an amazing show. Slayer was amazing as usual but the stuff that happened right after i got off work just totally and royally fucked me up, good god never has something outside of my enjoyment for metal, concerts, and more importantly, MY FAVORITE BAND EVER, Gotten in the way of my life. I can't believe I'm going to even say this but by 9:50pm i was looking at my cell and wishing Slayer would hurry up and finish. The band was amazing, sounded amazing, and tom sounded spot on during so many songs, he sounded fucking brutal during disciple. The reason I was in a rush to bone out of slayer was because this personal dilemma that occurred right when i got off work was just getting in the way, I was so fucked up, and by fucked up i just mean emotionally and physically and psychologically, i just wanted to get back home and get answers and get to the bottom of some fucking bull fucking shit fucking crap that i just don't wanna even go into god fucking dammit. I just can't get into this.... but if you if you folks knew just what happened all of you would be in the same mood as I was in and can't blame me at all for being so bummed out at the show..
june 30th was suppose to be an amazing concert by my favorite metal band of all time. I was so bummed out and sad over what had just happened and what still is going on that I just couldn't even enjoy one one bit of the concert. Although I will admit that Jesus saves and Altar of sacrifice were the highlights for me. Those were the two main songs where i totally forgot about everything and just went fucking crazy, head banging my fucking head to the fucking concrete floor, air guitar soloing and belching out the lyrics word for word with my main man Tom Araya! But after altar of sacrifice and jesus saves I just went straight into depress mode. Goddamn june 30th 2012 will go down as one of the worst days of my life, and what a way to kill off what could have been and amazing show by my favorite metal band of all time. I'm so disappointed in myself that i couldn't enjoy slayer, I even said through out the entire ride to the show that i wouldn't let this get in the way and that I'm going to go ape shit for slayer, but fuck man, i was pretty much bummed to the fucking fullest by the time angel of death came, so goddamn bummed, i didn't even care that angel of death was playing, i just wanted to stick around till they finish cause i love slayer, but i just wanted to go back to fucking irvine and deal with some fucking bull SHIT. Goddammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the time the intro to South of Heaven came on I just wanted to get get the fuck out of the show, I seriously didn't give a fuck anymore. I WANTED TO FUCKING LEAVE ALREADY, I REALLY DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT ANYMORE WHAT ELSE THEY PLAYED. This personal delima that I had to deal with was just taking over my mind, I couldn't keep my mind and enjoyment on Slayer, all I could say and think was FUCK HURRY THE FUCK UP SO I CAN LEAVE. I ended up leavening in the middle of Raining Blood, missing the best part of the song, I couldn't take it anymore. I told my friend we need to get the fuck back home cause i need to deal with some shit and call people up and get to the bottom of some shit and get answers, I DEMAND ANSWERS. Right before tom goes into the "Awaiting the hour of reprisal, your time slips away" part we book it back to the parking lot, missing the best part of the song. I can't believe I left during the first part of raining blood, but i had to, i just couldn't take it anymore, you can all call me a hater or whatever but i was just so upset in my stomach and nauseated, scared and confused at what had occurred while i was at work and only to find out some crazy shit after that i really didn't care anymore.. i hate using this as it is pretty cliche but F.M.L
Anyways, i agree with vegantopher and srm, Show was fucking PACKED. I have never seen a mayhem this packed, it wasn't this packed last time i went to mayhem fest in 2009. Hell, it wasn't this packed at the judas priest show a couple of months ago at this same venue. I was parked right next to the entrance for that show, making it a nice quick 2 minute walk! For this years mayhem fest we got vip 20 dollar parking and still had to walk like 20 minutes! Good thing my friend knew where he parked because i would have gotten us lost till all eternity. Holy shit we were fucking far from the concert. And once again, totally spot on srm, THIS SHOW WAS FUCKING PACKED AS SHIT. I could tell this show was packed as monkeys once we treked our way down to the entrance, felt like forever!!! I'm glad I didn't drive ahahhahaha
Anyways, it sucks this personal stuff had to get in the way of what could havre been an awesome show. It really killed it, but I gotta say Slayers performance was amazing. Tom has put on a ton of weight since I last saw him at the Big four, but his weight issue doesn't seem to be getting in the way of his vocal performance at all, he sounded amazing and spot on during Disciple, die by the sword, jesus saves, and altar of sacrifice. Stellar performance over all and as long as getting fatt doesn't get in the way of his vocal performance, then i don't give a rats ass how fatt tom gets. He can be the next dino fear factirt for all i care, but as long as he still can belch out those songs like the way he did when i saw him at mayhem fest, then, with all due respect my friend, keeping eating those KFC thighs and chili cheese fries my nigga.
Slayer was amazing, short ass set list, and easily a horrible show ruined by some stupid personal bullshit that happened right after i got off work. I hope i get to see slayer soon so i can make up for that stupid shit.
OH Yeah, not that its a biggie, but this was officially my 6th time seeing Slayer.
And still I haven't seen them headline yet...

Hey sep, I hope everything is alright with you man. I know that feeling of something going wrong and not wanting to be at a show. Has happened to me many times. So many times that I still have the habit of checking my phone between songs to make sure what time it is. Altar and Jesus Saves were my highlight as well. At least Slayer were off right at 9:16 so you could get back to whatever you needed to get to. What time did you get to the show? Was it just for Slayer?
Who needs a god when you've got Big Macs?

Bar 145 is probably the next logical step for corporate chains. Embracing most every restaurant trend from the past decade — whether passe or not — this new Grandview operation (with siblings in Toledo and Kent) arduously name-drops "foie gras," "confit" and "truffle fries" while commodifying terms like "gastropub," "local" and "artisanal."
Bar 145 also curiously courts "hip-cred" by making sure you know its servers, who were graciously accommodating on my visits, all don red Converse tennis shoes. If you're impressed by this footwear and the very concept of a gastropub — and you dig an unceasing mix of relentlessly upbeat commercial-radio-style music — then you might be a prospective 145 fan.
Huge and flashy, 145 naturally features garage doors, sporty TVs (tuned to SEC women's basketball when Thad Matta's team was playing recently), two floors and a stage for frat-party-friendly bands in its industrial and airy space. There are also mixed-font, all-over-the-map menus more easily digested over a drink.
About a dozen taps are offered, about half from local breweries. But the beverage 145 hangs its backwards-worn cap on is bourbon. As it should. Over 30 are offered, many of them terrific (shh: Pappy is in the house, if unmentioned on the menu). Woodford Reserve and Grand Marnier were used in my citrusy and not-too-sweet 145th Manhattan ($9).
Food-wise, if you only eat one thing here — and that might not be a bad strategy — opt for the fried duck confit leg "Bar Wings" ($8). Ignoring duck's affinity for sweetness, that meaty, crispy, "Frenched" and simple-pepper-sauced quartet was nonetheless fun-eating. Its plate-mate (a shaved veggie salad) was unencumbered by flavor or appealing textures.
Ditto for the large, popsicle-sticked Foie Gras Meatballs ($8), which had negligible foie character. Actually, other than beef, filler, a garlic whiff and a dilute-to-the-point-of-scientifically-impressive "blackberry jam," they had little flavor at all.
The Winter Caesar Salad ($9) bore an intriguing grill-scorch. But tack on weary lettuce, an undetectable dressing, ponderous tomato pulp on the bottom (which conjured up the demise of a same-named Roman emperor), limp and chilly Parmesan toast (Et tu crouton?) and then fall, Caesar!
In case you've wondered, 145 takes its name from the temperature of a medium-rare hamburger. So burgers — I was told the meat was ground in-house — are prominent here. I tried both the Simpleton (with bacon, mushrooms, caramelized onions and gobs of cream cheese, $11) and the Balsamic Bleu ($11). Both sandwiches arrived just-warm on toasted-yet-cold buns and featured lightly seasoned good beef not much enhanced by sloppy toppings. Both came with fresh and good-tasting but room-temperature and oily shoestring fries. As an extra, I tried the creamy and well-made — if barely warm — Mac & Cheese ($3). It had bacon and a syrup-supplied sweetness.
Syrup — too much — dripped from my disappointing Chicken and Waffles ($9). While the poultry pieces were big and juicy, as a whole, the food again was timidly seasoned and far from piping hot.
Though not smashed-and-toasted as I assumed it should be, and garnished with grocery store — instead of menu-promised "roasted" — tomatoes, the rice-flecked and cumin-kissed house-made Black Bean Panini ($10) was one of the relatively more flavorful items I tried here.
My 145-made Cheesecake Parfait ($5) was light and pretty nice too. Here's hoping it's evidence this place can devote as much attention to its food as its image.

Skip to comments.Janet Napolitano: The border is less secure because of budget cuts
Posted on 03/04/2013 10:27:17 PM PST by South40
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says that, although safety is her top priority, there is no way around cutting back on border patrol agents monitoring the country's borders because of the across-the-board spending cuts, known as "the sequester," that went into effect over the weekend.
"The number of border patrol hours that will need to be reduced equates to the equivalent of 5,000 border patrol agents, so we have fewer border patrol agents between the ports of entry," the secretary of homeland security told ABC's senior national correspondent Jim Avila in an exclusive interview. "We're going to do everything we can to minimize that impact on our nation's security, but that's just the plain fact of it."
When asked about the Department of Homeland Security's controversial decision to begin releasing illegal immigrants from jails across the country last week in preparation for sequestration, Napolitano said she was not involved in making the decision.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
The border was already a sieve! How could it get any worse? Bringing them over by busloads? This country has gone stark raving mad.
Auction off some of that rifle ammo you're hoarding, Janet.
Right on cue - how predictable
Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks to Go With Their 1.6 Billion Bullet Stockpile
Obama's Dangerous Illegal Alien Exodus: Past Released Detainees Murdered 19; Raped 142
Wasn't it, though. These people make me sick.
"The border was already a sieve! How could it get any worse?"
Exactly, just throw the bloody doors open, they're all flooding in anyways. I really don't care what the cuts affect. Too damn bad we don't have the money, deal with it.
Janet Napolitano is a very poor liar.No wonder she's a politician.As wa previously posted the border was and is still a sieve.
If that dumb (other name for a female dog) wouldn't release illegals and spend money buying anti-IED vehicles and actually use the drones ON the Fracking border maybe it wouldn't......
I am pissed right now...
The border is not secure because Zero doesn't want it secure.
Check your Janetalia and change the ROE to be effective.
The border is less secure because of Napolitano. She is clueless, incompetent, and a complete lapdancer for Obama.
In declaring that the administration is unable to fully protect our borders maybe its time to grab our guns and go defend the border ourselves.
Janet Napolitano is a terrorist within.
DHS had $8 bil in "unobligated" funds left over from FY2012 and expected to have an extra $9 bil this year, the whole "illegal release" is politically motivated BS.
"Napolitano: The border is less secure because of budget cuts"
OK, but our Country is less secure because of deficit spending.
The same number of Latinos will cross the border...the furlough will have zero effect. To say otherwise....it's like saying that there will be less rain or less sunshine...because of the furlough. The reputation of these idiots is going down the drain. They should have all gone to the President and demanded that he work out a compromise and find a smarter way of performing the budget cuts.
the borders may be less secure...
but those govt pensions are fat and happy!
(*whew* i was worried /sarc)
There are NO SPENDING CUTS. The Federal gov't will spend more dollars this fiscal year than previous fiscal year. That is not a cut.
It is like you expected a 7% raise and received only 5% raise. Is that a 5% raise or is it a 2% cut?
I can't believe how stupid the public is now a days.
Janet is always looking for another excuse.
The one on the left doesn't scare near as much as the butch on the right. Freakin liar that she is - thought she yapped a couple years ago that the border has never been more secure. Oh wait, a typical butch, lying out of both sides of that disgusting mouth. These people make me sick.
or... she knows exactly what she is doing!
Well they said they were going to take revenge after the election, I think for once we can believe what they said.
Lying whore for satan.
Maybe she could sell a few of those MRAPs and drones to some local hunting and fishing clubs to raise money. If you're short of cash it would seem that the last thing you should be doing is buying thousands of MRAPs.
Why is everybody complaining about the Border?? We can NEVER seal the Border, and we never will. If we were to actually have REAL Border Protection and successfully Seal the Border and make it virtually impossible to cross without going through a checkpoint, This would End the War on Drugs overnight.
We know that over 90% of all "Controlled Substances" comes into the US from Mexico, in fact we have a Federally Protected Smuggling Zone going right through Arizona, with signs warning Us Citizens they should not be there.
Who is going to be the one to FIRE 3/4 of the Police,Judges,prosecutors,lawyers,DEA...., in the US, We would have Shutdown over Half the Courts across this country, What will these people do for Work?? The War on Drugs is all they know.
Asset Forfeiture Laws would be useless and literally Starve the Government of ill gotten funds. SWAT teams would no longer be able to Break into Innocent Citizens Homes at night and Shoot their Dogs. What about all those ancillary businesses? Rehab Centers?? What would Hollywood Do without the free flow of Drugs?? There is a rather large percentage of people that work in and around the War on Drugs. What will they do??
We CANNOT HAVE A WAR ON DRUGS WITHOUT DRUGS. Got it! We will NEVER have anything remotely close to effective Border Security, it just Cannot be done without Destroying the Very Livelyhood of Millions of PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNION MEMBERS. Which means it CANNOT HAPPEN. EVER.
More proof that there definitely is a short circuit in a liberal's brain. I'm convinced of that.
This is reason enough why we need the 2nd Amendment as strong as ever and we cant afford universal background check requirements.
Obviously Obama and his cohorts lied when he said that we didnt need guns because the gub will protect us.
You make fine points. No rational person/group could argue against. Do you see a rational solution?
Why won't DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano turn over Obama's immigration documents to Sheriff Arpaio?
Barry Soetoro, son of Lolo Soetoro, born in Honolulu, HI, Aug 4, 1961 was enrolled in St. Francis of Assisi Elementary on Jan. 01, 1968 as an Indonesian National. Obama's long-form BC was sealed and archived in Hawaii after the Soetoro adoption.
D@mmit Janet, turn over Obama's immigration documents!
Lol kind of hard for the dems to whip up fear about the cuts when they were already failing at all this stuff. People get that.
Seal the Border and End the War on Controlled Substances, at the same time Eliminate Welfare, and any and all aid to persons that came here illegally, except a bus ticket back home. Fire more than Half of All Law Enforcement and Related Agencies and force the rest to Actually Fight Crime, It's not like there isn't over a Million Known Gang Members living and applying their trade out in the open. I can hear the cry of racism now, 99% of All Gang Members are Non-White. But that would require massive change in the way people think, I don't think we are there yet and may never be. There are way too many people sipping kool-aid andor on the Public Dole and dependent to the machine in this country to fix our problems that they created. The Media would never allow any such rational debate nor would they allow anyone to tie everything together in any competent way to explain the virtual circle jerk our government created to expand their power, or how futile the whole War on Controlled Substances is. My only answer to our problems Will Not Happen, that would be for a Border State to hold a Massive campaign instructing their Citizens on the History and Use of Jury Nullification, emphasizing on the ONLY 3 CRIMES listed in the US Constitution for Federal Cases and Bastiat's "The Law" for everything else.
I agree. Although, the war on controlled substances isn't a war.
Technically you are correct, Maybe?? My President, Richard Nixon issued an Executive Order and Publicly Declared a War on Drugs, Congress went along with it and passed numerous pieces of legislation to support the Order. Every Government Agency in the US officially became part of this "War". It is Just as much a "REAL WAR" as Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam,....... All of these were Police Actions with NO DECLARATION OF WAR from Congress, and for some reason people think they are and were WARS. So the War on Drugs, as I see it is just that, a "WAR".
Big Sis is a compulsive liar and no better than an actor reading lines.
She is an embarrassment to women and to America
What little girl wants to grow up and be Big Sis?
Since Nixon's EO, drug use has escalated to a level of acceptability, as a given lifestyle choice- much the same, as homosexuality. The denizens of moral depravity, delared War, upon traditional society/culture, long before Nixon's EO. The philosophy of hedonism, masquerading as liberty, is fatal to all who embrace it, and to those who are forced to bear the burdens, of such fools.
drug use has escalated to a level of acceptability
With the exception of marijuana, drug use in America has remained pretty constant since forever.

Event Details
The New York metropolitan region has thrived in recent years even as it has been buffeted by economic and environmental pressures. Yet three urgent challenges -- climate change, declining economic opportunity and fiscal uncertainty in the public sector -- threaten to derail the region's continued progress. RPA's 23rd annual Assembly, "A Resilient Region," will examine these pressing problems and shed light on the best strategies to overcome them and ensure the region's continued success.
This year's Assembly will look at topics including:
- How can we lessen the region's vulnerability to severe storms and rising sea levels? What are the best strategies for protecting our coastal areas, transit systems and power networks? What steps do we need to take to reduce our carbon emissions over the long term?
- What can local and state governments do to increase the economic opportunity of residents?
- How can government operate more efficiently, be more responsive to long-term needs and less paralyzed by debt?
Please join us at the Waldorf-Astoria on April 19 to explore these topics and chart the future of the region. Schedule and session details coming soon.
About the Assembly
Each spring, the RPA Assembly brings together more than 1,000 civic and business leaders to discuss major issues affecting the prosperity and quality of life in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut region. The conference is the region's premier opportunity to debate approaches we should take to expand our economy and sustainably meet our needs for employment, transportation and housing.

Brian Urlacher Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
Famous Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher spent 13 years in the NFL winning over fans and players alike. Before sacking NFL quarterbacks as a four-time AP All-Pro first team player, Urlacher played at the University of New Mexico where he pulling in 442 tackles, 3 interceptions and 11 forced fumbles. All-American, Jim Thorpe award finalist and Heisman candidate, Urlacher ended up as a 9th overall draft selection by the Chicago Bears in 2000.
It wasn't all smooth sailing for this eight-time Pro Bowler. After a shaky first three weeks in the NFL, coaches placed Urlacher in the middle linebacker position and the light bulb illuminated.

He finished his rookie season by breaking all rookie records for the bears with 124 tackles and 8 sacks and being named the defensive rookie of the year.
Despite being the star defensive man for an under performing Chicago Bears team, Brain Urlacher still managed to dominate the field with a career 1,353 tackles, 41 sacks, and 22 interceptions.

"Wah wah" was penned in January ´69 after an argument between Paul and George captured on camera for the "Let it Be" movie. George got a headache from it ("you´ve given me a wah wah"), left the group for a week or so and wrote the song.
George helped Ringo w/ "Octopus Garden" at about the same time, with chord structure and lyrics. His lyrics to Ringo were in the bridge:
"We could be so happy you and me
no one there to tell us about to do..."
Clear enough meaning, right ?
And, of course, "Not Gulty", from a few months earlier. The complete set of lyrics retaliates John and Paul. Just a bit to exemplify:
" I won´t upset the apple cart
I only want what I can get..
I´m sorry that you´ve been misled,
but like you heard me I said - not guilty".

Health topics
In many parts of the world, drinking alcoholic beverages is a common feature of social gatherings. Nevertheless, the consumption of alcohol carries a risk of adverse health and social consequences related to its intoxicating, toxic and dependence-producing properties.
In addition to the chronic diseases that may develop in those who drink large amounts of alcohol over a number of years, alcohol use is also associated with an increased risk of acute health conditions, such as injuries, including from traffic accidents.
