Santa's Mailbox. Send letters to the North Pole!
Here's a cute project to kick off the holiday season! This mailbox would be fun for kids to send letters to Santa, or you can get creative and come up with other uses for it! Either way it's a fairly simple project. The only tricky part is cutting the bevels to create the curved top.
I began by cutting thirteen boards to equal lengths. These will be the slats that make up the sides and curved top. I made a few extra just in case I screwed something up.
Cut the bevels
This part might be a little tricky. You need to cut 11.25° bevels as accurately as possible. I recommend using a digital angle gauge. It's magnetic and sticks right to the side of your saw blade for precise adjustments.
- Seven of the slats get the bevel on two long edges.
- Two slats are beveled on only one edge.
- The final four slats have no bevels.
Gluing together the slats
There is no easy way to clamp these together, but you don't really need to clamp them since this project won't be subjected to a lot of stress. I like to use Weldbond for this kind of application. It creates a very strong bond without any clamping. Wood glue will work too. I added a strip of masking tape along each seam for a little extra support.
I found it was easiest to take my time and work in sub-assemblies, gluing two slats at a time, letting them dry, then gluing together these sub-assemblies.
Here you can see the two slats that are beveled on only one edge. Make sure the non-beveled edge is flat and square to the table. If they aren't, you can slightly adjust and re-cut the bevels.
Then glue on the final two pairs of straight-edged boards.
After the entire thing had dried, I sanded the top slats to create more of a rounded curve.
Making the door and end
The end piece and the door extend beyond the curve of the mailbox. To draw a line for cutting, I used the mailbox assembly as a template and a washer as a guide for my pencil. This worked out great.
I cut these out on my band saw then rounded over the ends with my router.
Next, I glued the mailbox to the base and attached the back.
I like to "pre-install" hinges on my projects, then remove them for painting. I used 2″ T-hinges.
I found a magnetic cabinet latch and used it to hold the the door shut.
I cut out the flag on a 1/4″ thick board and attached it to the mailbox with a single screw to act as a hinge.
I glued on this little block to stop the flag when it swings into its down position.
I cut out a finger pull and glued it in place.
After spray painting all the pieces, including the hinges, I re-attached the door.
I used my photo-transfer method to create outlines for the lettering and then painted them with white chalk paint.
Santa's Mailbox Plans
Hi Steve and many thanks for delivering a very informative youtube channel. I like your zany delivery of the projects and look forward to each of them. I particularly like the Santa's Mailbox and will be making one over the next couple of days.
Well done mate
Do you have a video on your photo transfer method?
I tried this and the bottom of the mailbox is much wider than 7 1/2″, making it flare where it attaches to the base. I used a digital gauge to set the angle but didn't work out. I am going to check the widths to see if I can find where I made my mistake.
The North Pole mailbox has been up for nearly 2 weeks now. I have had upwards of 50 letters to Santa, 22 from the same child.
It has been a real hit in the street and the parents are in full support of it. I reply to every child that sends a letter to Santa and I include a Christmas pencil or balloon in each reply.
My table saw is hard to set to an angle, so I made a jig to send the 2X1 through the thicknesser. It worked a treat.
I would certainly recommend this project for all to make.
I made one for the grandkids. I'm sure they will love it. Only have to wait about six more months. Thanks for the idea.

The Recovery Room has recovered!
When the state seized the Recovery Room (819 Colorado Boulevard) for nonpayment of taxes last January, it was a temporary flatline for the legendary dive. But Chris Campbell and Mark Lane, who have owned the Old Towne Tavern (2410 West Main Street, Littleton) for the past four years, stepped in to revive the Recovery Room, which reopens this Friday.
Campbell says the previous owner, who ran the spot for nearly three years, was a bit shady and basically disappeared; he promises that he and Lane will run a clean place and keep out the riff-raff.
Since taking over the property last month, they've spruced the place up with a new coat of paint, installed new beer taps, and brought in new bar stools and flatscreen TVs.
And they've made another change: They're offering food. Although Campbell says the kitchen is the size of a closet, the Recovery Room will serve hot dogs, Italian sausage and other items from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. They'll also have happy hours with a dollar off most drinks from 2 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well nightly specials that run from 9 p.m. to close.
The recovered Recovery Room will open its doors at 5 p.m. on May 8, and stay open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. over the weekend. On Monday, it will introduce its regular hours: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day. The new phone number: 303-248-7207.

Posted by Water Ionizer Expert on May 27, 2016 0 Comments
The Chanson Miracle MAX Royale is a 7 plate under-counter water ionizer. While the machine is attractively packaged, it lacks power. The Miracle Max has only 150 Watts of power, and that lack of power limits its performance as well as the health benefits you'd get from it. To get good pH and ORP readings, you have to slow the flow of water down to a trickle. To get this machine's best pH performance, we had to slow the flow down to less than 1 liter per minute. This means you'll be waiting 5 minutes to fill a gallon pot. T
he Miracle MAX is a good example of a machine we'd like if it had more power.
pH and ORP tests over time
At the Chanson's full flow rate, we got a pH of 10.2. When we slowed it way down, the pH level improved, but still got nowhere near the pH that Chanson advertises. It gave us a slightly acidic pH of 6.3, nowhere close to the pH of 1.8 that Chanson claims It turns out that you need chemicals to reach a pH that high (or low) with this machine, but if you do use the supplied chemicals, then you can't drink the water made by this machine. The salt chemical supplied makes bleach when run through this machine. We strongly recommend not making bleach with your drinking water ionizer. It can endanger your health.
Over time, this machine readings remain consistent. We got a pH of 10.1 at full flow rate and a pH of 6.4 on the acidic side. This machine is seriously handicapped by the lack of power.
It has the same problem with antioxidant power. At the full flow rate, we got an ORP of -324 which is barely adequate for health purposes. With the flow slowed all the way down, we got the ORP up to -489, better but still not great.
Our ruling: Pass, but just barely. pH and ORP readings do hold up over time, but they are inadequate from a machine that costs nearly $3,000.
Toxins filtered out
The Chanson Miracle MAX Royale has only a single carbon filter, it's not adequate for dealing with the wide range of toxins in your water. This filter will not be effective against chloramines, for example. It is a basic activated carbon filter that will filter chlorine and some metals, but that's about it. For this machine to have good filtration, you would have to add a pre filter system at your expense. Since this machine is already overpriced, it's just not worth it.
Our ruling: Fail. This filter is inadequate for the wide range of toxins in today's tap water.
Quality of components
The plates on this machine are large, but flat. Chanson claims that the way the platinum is layered on the plates make them hyper efficient, but our pH and ORP testing showed that this machine did not exceed our expectations, so the plates are nothing special. The Miracle MAX uses a transformer power supply, and it's underpowered, so we don't like the power supply on this machine. The Miracle MAX has only a single filter, which is inadequate. We do like the attractive stainless steel faucet, however
Our ruling: (with the exception of the faucet) Fail. The power supply and filtration system need upgrading.
White glove installation available
We do not know of any installation services for the Chanson ionizers.
Our ruling: Fail.
Evaluate user experience with in home trials
The Royale is easy to use, we like the viewscreen on the faucet. What we really didn't like is how long it takes to use this machine. To get good pH and ORP levels you have to slow the flow of water through the machine way down. It was so bad that our in-home tester resorted to using their own personal ionizer for the big jobs like filling pots for cooking.
Our ruling: Fail. The machine is easy to use, but it takes too long.
Maintenance: Is it easy, effective?
Maintenance on this machine is easy. You just add some citric acid powder to the mineral injection port and run a cleaning cycle anytime you want to deep clean it. The ease of maintenance is actually our favorite aspect of the Chanson line of ionizers.
Our ruling: Pass The Miracle MAX Royale is easy to maintain
Warranties, return policy, user manual
The Miracle Max Royale comes with a limited lifetime warranty for manufacturer's defects on parts. By limited, Chanson means they only expect their ionizer to last 10 years. Labor is only covered for 5 years. For a $3,000 machine, this warranty is inadequate, we'd expect parts and labor to be covered for as long as you own the machine. Chanson has a 60 day return policy, which is standard in the ionizer industry. The user's manual is easy to use, we had no trouble setting up or using the machine
Our ruling: Fail This machine should come with a full lifetime warranty. Quality machines in this price point should be expected to last your lifetime, not just 10 years.
Customer Service/Tech support
Customer service and tech support are handled at Chanson's Laguna Hills, California company headquarters. They are easy to reach and are knowledgeable about their machine.
Our Ruling: Pass Chanson has good customer service and tech support
How the ionizer compares to other ionizers
The Miracle MAX Royale could be a great ionizer if it had enough power and flow rate, but it doesn't. For example, the LIFE Ionizer M7 undercounter costs $498 less than the Chanson, but it can reach much higher pH and ORP levels without slowing the flow rate down. The reason the LIFE machine beats the Chanson is simple: The LIFE M7 has 450 watts of power, vs the Chanson machine's 150. So for almost $500 less, you can buy an ionizer that's three times more powerful than the Chanson machine. The LIFE machine has a better warranty, and comes with free custom configured filtration. It's a lot more machine for a lot less money.
Our ruling: Fail The Miracle MAX Royale's limited power means it can't keep up with other brands on the one thing that matters most in a water ionizer: The quality of the ionized alkaline water it makes.
Taste of the water
The water made by the Chanson tastes sweet and refreshing. We just wish it didn't take so long to make it!
Our ruling: Pass The water from this machine tastes good.
F = Our grade for the Chanson Miracle MAX Royale: 4 out of 10 for 40%
We were disappointed with the Royale. It's a good looking machine, we really love the faucet, but it just takes too long to fill a container. We expected better pH and antioxidant ORP levels than what we got, and that really hurt this machine in our inspection. After all, you buy a water ionizer to get healthy water, so it makes sense that the most important feature of any ionizer is going to be how well it makes ionized alkaline water. This machine just takes too long, and doesn't give the pH and ORP levels you'd expect from a $3,000 machine.
Get the right machine the first time. Let us take the hassle out of shopping for an ionizer with our 10 point inspection. Call us at 1 855 972-6752

Disney Vacation Club Members have a special opportunity to preview Disney's Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure at Epcot®, an immersive new experience designed to turn Guests into crime-fighting secret agents. This is a chance to experience the adventure before it opens officially to Guests.
First, here's the scoop (or "the sitch," as Kim would say) about the attraction:
Inspired by the hit Disney Channel animated television series "Kim Possible," the attraction allows Guests of all ages to become secret agents by volunteering at recruitment centers throughout the Park (look for them in the Future World area and near the International Gateway), where they'll receive their mission assignment. Upon reporting for duty, recruits will get their "way cool Kimmunicators" (interactive, handheld, cell-phone-like devices that will help maneuver agents through their mission) and head out on their adventure in one of seven participating World Showcase pavilions (China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Norway and the United Kingdom).
The Kimmunicators will connect agents with a variety of "Kim Possible" characters who will provide clues to help stop villains from carrying out their plans. Each mission is designed with groups in mind (2-4 agents can share a Kimmunicator) and can last anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Kimmunicators even recognize when a team has broken away from the action (even secret agents need restroom breaks) and will alter the mission accordingly.
Now, here's the scoop about the Disney Vacation Club Member preview:
Disney Vacation Club Members may embark on missions available Jan. 23-25 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. (Missions begin every 15 minutes.) Missions are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Members and their Guests will begin their missions by reporting to the Team Possible Recruitment Center located on the bridge leading from Future World to World Showcase at Epcot. Members must present their Member ID card or their Key to the World card displaying a Member designation.
Good luck!

Trading Gilad Shalit for Arab Terrorists: An Illegal and Perilous Exchange
Summary ... Even though Israel may want to release convicted Arab terrorists in exchange for prisoners such as Gilad Shalit, in doing so, Israel may be in direct violation of long-standing international law. Each nation has an obligation to prosecute and punish terrorists, in order to protect the world as a whole. By seeking its own interests, Israel would be releasing convicted terrorists who may act against other nations, causing harm that would have been preventable had they been kept in prison.
Under long-standing international law, every state has a primary obligation to protect its citizens. Yet, it appears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may soon be prepared to exchange Palestinian [sic] terrorists for kidnapped IDF [Israel Defense Force] soldier Gilad Shalit. Any such exchange, however humane to Shalit and his family, would imperil thousands of other Israelis.
A core element of all civilized legal systems is the rule of iullum crimen sine poena, "no crime without a punishment." This principle, drawn originally from the law of ancient Israel and reaffirmed at the post-War Nuremberg Trials, is part of all international law. It applies here.
To the extent that US President Barack Obama should concur in this impending deal — effectively, an American act of complicity with terrorists — our own country would be in violation not only of international law, but also the law of the United States. Such violation would be two-fold because all international law has been made part of US law (the "supreme law of the land") by Article 6 of the [United States] Constitution, and by a number of landmark Supreme Court decisions.
For Israel, there is also a pertinent and portentous history of terrorist exchanges. In June 2003, the Shurat HaDin, the Israel Law Center, in anticipation of then-planned terrorist releases, condemned Israel's freeing of 100 Palestinian prisoners. Later, almost five times that number were freed by then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In her letter to the Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet, Shurat HaDin Director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, wrote that releasing terrorists for any reason would reignite Arab terrorism against defenseless Jewish men, women and especially children.
Nitsana was correct. Soon thereafter, at least two newly released Palestinian terrorists proceeded to launch suicide bomb attacks in Israel. In these attacks, one "military target" of the heroic fighters was a cafe filled with mothers and their babies.
Every state has an indisputable core obligation under international law to prosecute and punish terrorists. This obligation derives in part from "no crime without a punishment." It is codified directly in many authoritative sources, and is also deducible from the binding Nuremberg Principles (1950). According to Principle 1: "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law is responsible therefore and liable to punishment."
Terrorism is a serious crime under international law. The precise offenses that comprise this crime can be found at The European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism. Some of the Palestinian terrorists previously released were also guilty of related crimes of war and crimes against humanity. These are Nuremberg-category crimes, so egregious that the perpetrators are known in law as hostes humani generis, "Common enemies of humankind."
International law presumes solidarity between states in the fight against all crime, including terrorism. This presumption is mentioned as early as the seventeenth century in Hugo Grotius' The Law of War and Peace. Although Israel has a clear jurisdiction to punish any crimes committed on its own territory, it also has the right to act under broader principles of "universal jurisdiction." Its case for such universal jurisdiction, which derives from an expectation of interstate solidarity, is found at the four Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949. These Conventions impose upon the High Contracting Parties the obligation to punish "Grave Breaches."
No government now has the legal right to free terrorists in exchange for its own kidnapped citizens, military or civilian. Terrorism is a criminally sanctionable violation of international law that is not subject to manipulation by individual countries. In the United States, it is clear from the Constitution that the President's power to pardon does not encompass violations of international law. Rather, this power is always limited precisely to "offenses against the United States."
In originally capturing and punishing Palestinian terrorists, Israel acted on behalf of all states. Moreover, because some of the terrorists had committed their crimes against other states, Israel cannot properly pardon these offenses against other sovereigns. Although Mr. Netanyahu's impending prisoner exchange would not, strictly speaking, represent a "pardon," it would have exactly the same effect.
No state possesses the authority to pardon violations of international law. No matter what might be permissible under its own Basic Law, any impending political freeing of terrorists by Israel would be impermissible. The fundamental principle is also established in law that, by virtue of such releases, the releasing state itself must assume responsibility for past criminal acts, and for future ones.
Under international law, Prime Minister Netanyahu's impending exchange — effectively analogous to a mass pardoning of criminals — would implicate the Jewish State for a "denial of justice." This could have practical consequences. Although it is arguable that punishment, which is central to justice, does not always deter future crimes, such an Israeli freeing of terrorists would undermine the Jewish State's legal obligation to incapacitate violent criminals from committing new acts of mass murder.
A tragic aspect of modern international law is sometimes the need to make hard and painful choices in order to safeguard larger populations from future harms. Mr. Netanyahu should now act accordingly.

The 'Palestinian' News You Don't See
The tragedy of the pro-'Palestinian' movement is its attachment to a single narrative: "Look at how wretched the lives of the 'Palestinian' people are," they tell us, "It is because of Israeli oppression." Because this narrative must be constantly reinforced, there is little room for real reporting about the failures of the 'Palestinian' leadership and the corruption and infighting that have caused the 'West Bank' [i.e., Judea & Samaria] and Gaza to languish.
The "Spontaneous" Intifada Is Orchestrated by the Palestinian Leadership
The Arab leadership is attempting to portray the current Intifada as a kind of popular, spontaneous struggle that expresses the population's despair over the political situation. In reality, it is an Intifada supported and directed by the Arab leadership of the PA/PLO-Fatah and Hamas.
Uncomfortable Questions for Comfortable Jews: The Temple Mount
Rabbi Meir Kahane points out that, contrary to popular belief, the Temple Mount is in Arab hands, the cunning Arab foxes. And the words of Motta Gur ring hollowly — and it is the Jews who are to blame. They took a miracle and disdained it. They, who took holiness and profaned it. They who were given a Zion, a Jerusalem, Temple Mount — gave it over to the jackal-foxes.
In Depth Analysis
Hamas Document - 2017
Hamas explains general principles and objectives in 42-article document.
The Real Goal of the 'Palestinian' Intifada
PA/PLO leader Abbas seems intentionally to ignore that he and his PA/PLO are responsible for the violence, as a result of their daily incitement against Israel. A recent poll found that approximately half of 'Palestinians' believe the "Intifada" should lead to the destruction of Israel.
The Hidden Hand Behind the Palestinian Terror Wave
What is really going on behind the scenes of the current terrorist attacks? It's actually a lot more than what is seen on a daily basis. Hamas is fighting to take control of the PA/PLO while Fatah is doing its best to stay in power and get Gaza back under its control.
A Matter of Priority - The Jonathan Pollard Case
US Jewish leaders blew it recently when what was a rare opportunity to ask the US president face-to-face to release Jonathan Pollard, they didn't even consider the matter as being a priority.
Obama Declares War on Israel
Obama needs to wake up. The real enemy is not Netanyahu. The real enemy is Iran, Hizb'Allah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Islamic State, and the establishment of a terrorist state in the midst of Israel.
Could Barak Obama Swing the Upcoming Israeli Election?
It's no state secret that US President Barack Obama is not a huge fan of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His distain for the Jewish leader is well-known throughout the world; he's never tried to hide it. But now that Israel is having new elections in March does it mean Obama could, either directly or indirectly, influence the elections in Israel in order to obtain a defeat for Netanyahu?

Moving on...
Okay, people, due to certain... legal issues... regarding Win XP's SP2 activation, I've decided to finally make a move on to Linux once and for all
The purpose of this thread is for Linux users to give me a few pointers on various things.
1) First of all, I'm still keeping my Win XP partition (on a separate disk) for a month or so. I've heard XP's booting tool ain't very dual-booting friendly, so I'd like to know how do you exactly do it. Note that I'm using two SATA drives.
2) Anime watching. I know the answer is there in the forum somewhere, and I know it has to do with MPC, but since I don't recall a Linux compatibility with CCCP, I'd like to have some pointers in that respect.
3) Video Card drivers. My PC has an Nvidia FX 5200 with 128 MB of RAM, and I want to know if there's some kind of compatibility issue between Linux and Nvidia drivers (not that I'm aware of any, I'm checking just in case).
4) I've heard something about a way of playing games by having an XP emulation... or something. Not being able to play games wouldn't be much of a bother, since on PC the only things I game are Japanese eroges and Stepmania (which has Linux compatibility). If anyone knows anything about it, I'd be glad to hear it nonetheless. NOTE: I'm not aware of the legal status of what I've just mentioned, so mods, please don't bash me for it.
5) Finally, recommendations and general pointers about Linux distros. I have a pretty basic and outsider knowledge of how Linux works, and I'd love to hear suggestions (especially regarding newbie-friendly distros ).
That'll be it for now, I guess. Thanks in advance.
PS: Oh, additionally, if anyone knows how to input Japanese in Linux and knows of any Linux friendly Japanese word processors (I use JWPCe, which isn't compatible AFAIK), I'd be glad to hear it.

Hey, why didn't you put this into the Linux thread that I had up here? It'd be nice if we could consolidate the Linux knowledge (although perhaps it'd make it hard to dig through for people new to the thread)
Alternately, you can get VMWare. They recently made Server edition free (you just need to register an account and you can get as many serial numbers as you like). VMWare is available for Windows and Linux (a version for Mac, VMWare Fusion, is in beta, but it probably won't be free. Mac has Parallels, anyway). VMWare is a virtualization program. So, you can be in Linux, and install a Windows virtual machine - that way, you won't feel like you're completely isolated. Whenever you like, you can boot Windows from Linux, use any Windows applications, and then shut down the Windows partition - without having to reboot or stop your Linux session. VMWare only offers limited support for DirectX 8.1 though, I believe, so... it may not be the best option for gaming.
I will note that VMware doesn't seem to allow you to run a non-virtual operating system in a virtual environment (much to my displeasure). In other words, you have your Linux partition and your Windows partition, but if you want to run Windows, you need to install Windows under VMware - you can't direct VMWare to activate the Windows XP on your hard drive. This may be coming in the future, though, if VMWare Fusion's claims are anything to go by (they claim that you can run an XP installed by BootCamp - BootCamp was Apple's way to install Windows to their system, but it was NOT virtualization. You could dual-boot between Mac OS and Windows. If VMWare Fusion lets you use that partition, it'd be the same as running a real OS under a virtual environment, from my understanding).
VMWare is available for Windows, so you could even test out Linux distros before making the full install. Unfortunately, the virtual installs will remain virtual (from my understanding), and you'd have to re-do the installs and customizations if you wanted to make it your primary operating system.
Lastly, if you choose the virtualization route, note that it is computer-intensive. If you're running a multi-core processor, you'll definitely appreciate having it. More RAM is better (1 GB at LEAST; 2 GB would be ideal). Some processors have on-board virtualization optimizations, which would also make virtualization a lot easier on you.
You may also want to consider what user environment you want. I like KDE - it feels a bit more Windows-like, so it makes the transition easier on me. The other choice is GNOME. In my opinion, GNOME is more Mac-like - not in terms of eye candy, but just overall layout. Check screenshots on both, or play with different versions in VMWare. You can have both installed on one distro and switch between the two. If you prefer KDE, get Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. (Note that OpenSUSE lets you choose which to install). And of course, there are a variety of other desktop environments, mostly catering to people who prefer slimmed-down versions (the guys who prefer text everything), but those are the big two.
For eye candy, get Beryl. Syaoran helped me to set mine up; now perhaps I'd be able to help you if you needed it, too It definitely looks very neat, and it's very fun. My graphics card lags on some of the effects, though (a GeForce 4 ti4600).

I've heard there's trouble if Windows isn't on the primary drive. Though if I can avoid installing them on the same drive (an option I've been considering right now, and that I was about to perform if I hadn't read your post), it'd be quite nice. As my settings of now, Ubuntu would be installed in my primary drive, so I'd like to know if there's any problem with that.
And another thing: I'd like to know what's Ubuntu status regarding NTFS support. I know there are Windows drivers that support ext formatted drives, and I've seen some things about a new tool with Ubuntu that allows NTFS writing--does that come with any kind of limitations? The thing is that my secondary drive holds my anime (50 gigs of it) and it's obviously in NTFS format (since I've used Windows up until now).
What I was about to do (right before I read your post, in fact right now the Ubuntu CD has finished downloading) was the following:
Primary drive (80 GB):
7 GB NTFS (Windows partition--note that it's already installed and I'm typing it through it)
1 GB Swap partition
10 GB ext3 Ubuntu system
Rest for ext3 /home (I'd like some pointers on how this /home system works, really)
Secondary drive (112 GB):
20 GB NTFS (This is where my "official" Windows system resides, and I was about to format it).
92 GB NTFS (Here resides all my valuable data, about 60 GB of anime + stuff).
What I could do now that you mentioned there's no problem at all with separate drive booting is keep my Windows installed on the second drive and make a fresh format of the first drive, fully dedicated to Ubuntu. What do you think?

NTFS support is now flawless. I believe all Linux distros come with NTFS read support enabled, but write support is disabled. You'd want to install your own NTFS drivers from the recommended sources, rather than enabling the one in your distro. There shouldn't be any limitations, and the corruption issues are gone.
You can also access your Linux partitions from Windows using a special driver.
I've also read about Windows being finnicky in some ways, but I haven't had any problems with it being where it is.
A lot of your questions and such were the same ones I had, and a lot of the answers are buried in the responses to my original thread (including links to the drivers I mentioned).
Your setup shouldn't give you any trouble, just make sure that you read over what the installer wants to do to your partitions. Also, should GRUB fail, don't panic - just pop in your Windows CD, access the recovery console, and use the "fixboot" command to regain access to Windows. If GRUB fails, you can do that, or you can try to edit GRUB's files and repair the issue yourself. Just know that it's note a dead-end error with no choice but to format (it's one of the more frightening errors you can hit, though).

Okay, now my Windows' being a bitch and refuses to identify the secondary drive as a system drive (and therefore I can't boot from it--it automatically boots to the primary drive's system). I guess it must be the fault of installing Windows back on the primary drive. Yesterday I had two Windows installed, my main one on the primary drive and the other one I installed, on the secondary drive; and I was able to boot from any of them from Windows' booting tool itself. Now that I wiped the former Windows and installed it again from the secondary drive, the thing absolutely refuses to do it, and not even Windows' CD recognizes a Windows partition on the secondary drive (the partition is there, but not as an installed Windows version). Since it doesn't appear as installed, I can't recall the recovery console to fix it, unless there's something that can be done from the console on the main drive.
So I guess I'm back at my plan of dual-booting from a single drive, unless someone has an idea about this.

On booting:
Before installation, make your Windows drive the secondary and the empty drive the primary. I don't know how this is done with SATA, but we talked about this in the other thread.
On nVidia, anime, etc.
Free and open distributions like Ubuntu or Fedora don't come with any proprietary software. This means no support for formats like mp3 or wma, no playing of DVDs, etc. It also means they don't ship the binary-only drivers for nVidia (or ATI) cards, nor do they usually include full read/write support for NTFS since that runs afoul of Microsoft's intellectual property. You'll need to download these programs from third-party "repositories." I understand that Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) comes with these repositories pre-configured. On Fedora, I use Livna. Again I've written at length about these issues in the thread Ledgem cites. (I'd like to see that thread made a sticky, myself.)
For nVidia, the worst that can happen is you need to download the drivers from nVidia and use the installer they provide. If you use a repository, you'll usually get the binary drivers that match the most recent Linux kernel being distributed.
For anime, etc., you'll want to download mplayer and xine. I tried installing CCCP under Wine out of curiosity but haven't had much luck. YMMV.
On distributions
I like Fedora, but I've used RedHat on servers for a dozen years and know how the files are laid out, so it was more of the same for me. I've had mixed success installing Ubuntu and OpenSUSE on my desktop machine and, frankly, mixed success with Fedora on some laptops. I've got a copy of Feisty that I want to road test soon with one of these extra hard drives I have laying around the office.
One attractive thing about Ubuntu is its ability to run off the CD without being installed. This gives you the opportunity to see how well your hardware is supported before making the commitment to installation. I think the upcoming Fedora 7 has a "live" CD version as well. Check its tracker page for more details.

Okay, everything is going smoothly up until now. Audio hardware recognized and drivers automatically installed, I *think* my nVidia card was also detected and its drivers automatically installed, though I'm not sure (I can change resolution, if that helps). But I've just run into my first newbie's problem with the console. Say I want to install lolifox, and its installation package comes as a tarball file (and it's not found by the default Ubuntu add/remove tool). Now I've checked the help function, and there it said I had to enter in the console:
EDIT: Allright now, Azureus doesn't seem to want to work. I've installed it properly, and every time I open a torrent file with it, it says "it's not a file" and crashes. I can open the torrents perfectly with the integrated bittorrent application, though. I'm quite puzzled by this.
EDIT 2: Forget about it, Azureus crashes when it starts up. Dammit.
EDIT 3: Oh screw it, I think it's because I haven't got Java installed. Damn Windows made me pretty lazy, and I thought I had it integrated since Azureus said nothing.
EDIT 4: AARGH, SCREW IT! Installed sun-java-5 and nothing, it's still the same. SCREW IT!

Okay, finally got what was wrong with Azurues, now I'm in need of some help with something else.
I can't seem to be able to compile the binary for any .tar file. I extract them, then go to the console and type "./configure" and I get a message saying that there's no file. I can run Azureus by inputting "./azureus", but can't actually install it.

1) There are two types of nVidia (and ATI) drivers. x.org makes open-source 2D drivers for both cards that can be shipped with free distributions. There are also proprietary drivers available from both companies that include support for accelerated 3D. However I do see a file on my Ubuntu 7.04 DVD in the directory /pool/restricted/n/nvidia-kernel-common/ that might have the proprietary stuff in it. Does the nVidia logo flash on-screen for a moment when the graphical interface starts up? That's how the proprietary nVidia driver behaves on my machine.
Edit: It looks like Ubuntu has the proprietary nVidia drivers as well from looking in /pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20. I'm going to read the license to see how Canonical can ship these freely.
2) Did you resolve your problem with expanding tar images? I use 'tar xzvf tarball.tar.gz' but I don't think the order of options matters.
3) If ./configure doesn't work, you most likely don't have the gcc compiler and associated tools like autoconf that are required to compile. I don't use Ubuntu, but I know there's an "add/remove programs" type of application. Try installing gcc, autoconf, and automake and see how far that takes you.
The development tool packages are pretty large in size, especially if you include things like Perl, Python, Ruby, etc., along with C, C++, Fortran, etc., etc. As a result you don't find them on the first CD or a distribution. Distributions which have a single base CD usually can't include the development packages because they need the space for things like OpenOffice and Firefox.
4) If you can run ./azureus then it's installed. As you discovered, you needed java to run Azureus. When you run /path/to/azureus/azureus, it starts an instance of the java "runtime" and loads the Azureus code into it. That's how Azureus runs on Windows and Macs, too.

Okay, setting momentarily aside the matter of Azureus (at least it works), there's something else that bothers me (and it has to do a lot with my ignorance of what's going on most of times with linux).
You see, I installed mplayer from the add/remove programs thingy, and it didn't run anything. I learned later that it has no codecs installed, so I unpacked the essential codec pack found in the mplayer homepage. Browsing around Animesuki I found this post where it gives some basic pointers. From there on I don't remember very well what I did, I think I installed some other basic package that didn't come integrated with Ubuntu (apt-get install essential-build or something like that) which I think installed everything you told me in that post (that was too large for CD distribution). After that, I uninstalled mplayer, and am compiling it or whatever according to the instructions of that Animesuki post.
I tried ./configure --enable-gui in the mplayer directory and it turned out some png package was missing. I installed it, but when trying ./configure again it said I needed X11 or something. I googled it and pages regarding Mac OS came up. WTF?!
So I just compiled it normally, without the --enable-gui. This means I'm stuck with the command prompt for it?
Ugh, my Windows-dependence has started to take its toll. I guess it's just a matter of time, though, till I get used to this whole new stuff.
EDIT: I just tried playing a simple avi file and there was sound but no video. I still don't get the process of codec detection by mplayer... And nor automatically installed gxine and mplayer have any success playing files...
Am I stuck with VLC? I don't want that >.<

Try mplayer --help. This will give you an overview of available options.... display options too. (one of them might work)
You can search with apt-get for the X11 libraries you'll need to compile players GUI (though I've never used one, I think this player is easily to handle with just key commands).
The nVidia thing for 3D is usually the nVidia GLX stuff, you'll need to download the installer package from nVidias site. Besides in your xorg.conf, I think nVidia won't use its own GLX when DRI is enabled (not sure regarding new drivers... but can't hurt to switch DRI off). When you install the nVidia read carefully what it tells you. It is important to setup the x-server for nVidia's own glx Open-GL libraries (instead of the pre-installed ones).

OK, now I've screwed up. After running that command, I rebooted, and now the thing has conflict between the drivers and the xorg.conf (and thus, any sort of graphical interface). I've tried getting back a backupped version of the xorg.conf but it's still the same. I'll write down the error entirely and come back, but I'm kinda scared. I hope I can solve this...

I don't know what you are referring as to build my kernel without it. I figure I have the nv kernel module, since I ran "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common" and no files were upgraded.
Here's my xorg.conf
Spoiler for xorg.conf:
If it's any help, in recovery mode I can run my graphic interface with no problem, but I'm guessing I haven't got the Nvidia drivers properly functioning anyways.
PS: Reading the xorg.conf, my video card isn't being recognized... o_O

London, Aug 19: English batsman Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen fended off a round of intense bowling from the Indian pacers on the morning of Day 2 of the fourth Test, to take England into lunch at 126/2. After a fine show yesterday, England's openers seemed vulnerable in the morning and soon enough perished. But a solid Bell (who was not out on 29) with a slightly shaky Pietersen (on 18 at lunch) by his side, took England over 100/2 and pressed on cautiously. Indian seamers Ishant and Sreesanth each took a wicket in the session.
Resuming on England's overnight score of 75/0 in 26 overs (after rain had washed out two sessions yesterday), Alastair Cook on 34, edged Ishant Sharma to slip in the first over of the day. The score read 75/1 at that point as R P Singh and Ishant tried hard to keep the pressure on with Strauss playing very cautiously.
New batsman Ian Bell tried to offset the pressure by taking fours off R P Singh and Sreesanth, but Strauss was having problems at the other end contending with Sreesanth's outswingers and eventually edged one to slip. England had slid to 97/2 in 38 overs with Strauss out for 40 and Kevin Pietersen, the man replacing him.
Sreesanth got Pietersen to edge him, but the ball flew between slips and gully as England's score moved past 100 in the 40th over. Sreesanth once again got Pietersen to edge the ball in a similar area but without luck, as England moved into lunch at 126/2 in 51 overs.

Missoula Public Library needs:
Room to Learn
Your library helps young people develop lifelong learning skills. But MPL's youth services wing is far too small for a full range of early literacy programs. Outdated conditions hamper interactive education.
Room To Share
Many Missoulians depend on their library for computer access, digital literacy, and e-resources. But today's connectivity and networking is limited by a building designed in an era when no one used computers.
Room To Grow
Missoula Public Library loans more than a million items to 60,000 cardholders each year. The library is one-third the size it should be for this population — and for the level of service expected by our community.
(re)Making history
Nixon was president. Woodward and Bernstein, Rose Kennedy, and Peter Benchley's Jaws were on the New York Times bestseller list. Personal computer use was a sci-fi fantasy. Missoula County's population was 62,000. Today, your public library operates in a building that was not designed for Montana's demographic shifts, the evolving role of public libraries in our culture, or the 21st century needs of this community.

Holidays in the sun? Seventies haircuts? What are the images you remember from your first big adventure?
For many, they are captured in piles of fading photographs, some of which may have made it into an album if they're lucky. Yet today, thanks to modern tech, everything has changed. Not only are images instantly stored, there's no excuse for not capturing any extraordinary moment (or haircut) wherever you are, and turning photographs into vibrant images, suitably edited to make you look like a professional. The only limit is your imagination. And the possibilities extend a lot further than just taking photos on a smartphone to post on Facebook.
The market for easy-to-use DSLR cameras is growing faster than ever before, allowing amateurs to take pictures as good as the pros, while smaller cameras, too, just keep getting better. Interchangeable lenses for small devices mean you no longer need a rucksack to hold all your kit. The latest video cameras are easily fixed to a helmet, so horse riders, cyclists and canoeists can film their route in high definition and upload it to a computer or phone. The tech is similar to that used by police and sport broadcasters, except you don't have to be an F1 driver to use it.
In terms of accessories, the single most valuable investment you can make is a tripod. Even mobile phones and small cameras benefit from a stable, neatly composed shot. And good images lead the way to the possibility of viewing on your TV or printing images in large format for display. Panasonic's range of televisions for 2013 includes a mobile app that lets you put web or phone content on your TV. Samsung's new sets include homescreens dedicated to your content.
Computers, meanwhile, make it ever easier to edit photos: Apple's iPhoto lets you order prints of photos; iMovie turns ropey video clips into Hollywood-style trailers and Windows can choose the best faces from similar images to meld the perfect shot. Today's printers offer great results too, and now often include a scanner for you to digitise your old photographs. Those haircuts may make a comeback yet.
This tripod is infinitely flexible and provides great stability. H150 x W30 x D30mm
Waterproof to 60m in its case, this can be fixed to a helmet or harness.
Compact cameras have never offered more features in such small packages.

Parker Waichman LLP Injury Alerts
THE LEGACY OF KATRINA: Even After Two Years, Gulf Coast Residents Continue to Be Victimized By the Government and Their Insurance Companies.Aug 1, 2007
While it has been over two years since Katrina roared through the Gulf Coast, the tragic aftermath of that massive hurricane remains a vivid reminder of both the storm's fury and the disastrous way in which it was responded to.
New Orleans was little more than a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. A catastrophe was assured as a result of poor preparation for a severe hurricane, which included inadequate (and poorly designed and maintained) levees as well as the lack of comprehensive or coordinated federal, state, and local disaster and evacuation plans.
The only thing worse than the deplorable preparation for the hurricane was the disgraceful response to it including the following:
- Failure by federal, state, and local agencies to provide any significant medical aid to those injured in the storm as well as those in need of critical care for existing medical conditions;
- The complete breakdown of law enforcement resulting in a state of near anarchy in and around city of New Orleans;
- Poor allocation and management of emergency resources at the city, state , and especially the federal level;
- Extremely poor oversight that led to billions of dollars being stolen by unscrupulous contractors, suppliers, and in fraudulent claims businesses and individuals;
- Massive waste in purchasing all types of supplies that were never distributed or that deteriorated and became unusable; and
- Insurance carriers wrongfully refusing to pay legitimate claims or paying out unconscionably low amounts to their policyholders who had lost everything.
While each of the problems listed above resulted in either injuries (or deaths) and/or huge financial losses, three of the most troublesome areas have been the revelations concerning the failed levees, the bad-faith conduct of many insurance companies in their handling of legitimate claims, and the scandal involving the government's withholding of information with respect to the toxic nature of the trailers it purchased for use by homeless Katrina victims.
Recent investigative reports revealed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has been guilty of all types of mismanagement with respect to its response to Katrina, was aware of the existence of a toxic chemical in government-issued trailers that have been inhabited by homeless victims of the hurricane.
While the evidence of these toxic living environments has only recently come to light, it is clear that FEMA was well aware of the toxic danger for some time. Now the agency is scrambling to save face by getting people out of the trailers as quickly as possible to prevent potential illnesses and deaths.
Beginning in early 2006, FEMA reportedly concealed warnings from its own field workers about health problems experienced by hurricane victims living in government-provided trailers. These warnings indicated that there were dangerous levels of formaldehyde, a toxic chemical, present in certain trailers, over 75 times the safe levels for workers.
Formaldehyde is a common wood preservative used in construction materials such as particle board. The chemical has been known to cause vision and respiratory problems while long-term exposure has been linked to cancer and higher rates of asthma, bronchitis and allergies in children.
Investigators uncovered a trail of e-mails explaining how FEMA lawyers rejected a proposal where these government-issued trailers would be regularly and thoroughly examined to determine the presence and the levels of formaldehyde gas which is known to cause cancer.
The proposal was rejected because FEMA lawyers feared the agency could be held liable for any hazards or health problems that were detected during these inspections. Currently there are more than 120,000 families displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita living in the contaminated trailers, and hundreds of these residents have complained of illnesses and other health problems. One resident has filed a lawsuit against FEMA.
On June 16, 2006, three months after the initial reports of the presence of formaldehyde gas, a logistics expert for FEMA wrote that the Office of General Counsel "has advised that we do not do testing, which would imply FEMA's ownership of this issue."
Patrick Preston, a FEMA lawyer, wrote that testing should not begin until lawyers give permission because once test results surface indicating problems with toxic gas the agency is responsible for fixing them. Clearly, FEMA placed its own financial interests above the safety and wellbeing of homeless disaster victims.
After FEMA discovered formaldehyde levels that were 75 times the safe workplace levels, they stopped testing occupied trailers. One family from south Mississippi was relocated as the mother was pregnant.
A man in Slidell, LA., was found dead in his trailer on June 27, 2006, after complaining about formaldehyde fumes. Following his death, 28 officials from six agencies recommended inspection for government-issued trailers to determine the quality of trailer air. FEMA lawyers, however, rejected the suggestions arguing that further investigation pending lawyer approval "could seriously undermine the Agency's position" in litigation.
Thad Godish, a formaldehyde expert with Ball State University who has acted as an independent expert in evaluating the FEMA trailers, said the formaldehyde levels were very high putting all current residents at risk, especially children under 6. According to Godish, the effects are quite serious: "You're simply sick all the time. It's basically upper respiratory, nose, throat irritation, headaches, fatigue.''
Godish also claims that the problems with formaldehyde can be connected to trailer manufacturers buying materials from countries such as Malaysia, where formaldehyde regulations are not as restrictive as in the United States. Also, there are no federal formaldehyde standards for campers like those that exist for mobile homes.
Right before the July hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, FEMA said it had asked federal health officials to begin assessing the conditions in trailers after prolonged use by Katrina victims. This belated action was unable to erase FEMA's earlier decision to stop trailer inspections, a decision that was revealed when FEMA documents were subpoenaed by Congress.
Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) spoke out against FEMA's callous disregard of Katrina and Rita victims, calling the situation "sickening." According to Waxman, the documents point to FEMA's "premeditated ignorance." The documents illustrate that senior officials in Washington did not want to admit to having knowledge about toxic conditions in these government-issued trailers because they did not want to be legally or morally responsible for dealing with the situation.
More congressmen sided with Waxman including Rep. Thomas M. Davis, III (R-Va.) who argued that FEMA had "obstructed" the 10-month congressional investigation of these trailers. Davis went on to say that FEMA's actions, or lack thereof, pointed to the fact that the agency was more concerned with legal liability and public relations as opposed to the health and wellbeing of the people living in those trailers.
After Hurricane Katrina, FEMA purchased almost 102,000 travel trailers at a cost of $2.6 billion. Thousands of those trailers were never used and were simply left to rot. Terry Sloan, a floor supervisor at a Gulf Stream Coach factory in Etna Green, Ind., stated that the company worked around the clock for months to produce more than 50,000 stripped-down travel trailers. This forced the company to use cheaper wood products. "Quality suffered dramatically because of the drive and pressure to put these trailers out," Sloan said.
Although over 66,000 households affected by Katrina are currently living in the questionable trailers, FEMA had replaced only some 58 trailers and moved only five families into rental units by the beginning of August.
After conducting tests in May of 2006, The Sierra Club reported that there were unsafe levels of formaldehyde in 30 out of 32 trailers stationed along the Gulf Coast. Some residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against trailer manufacturers in U.S. District Court in Baton Rouge, LA.
Three trailer residents who testified before the panel talked about their own and their families' physical ailments as a result of formaldehyde exposure. Some of those ailments include nosebleeds, respiratory problems and mysterious mouth and nasal tumors. The residents also said that veterinarians and pediatricians have warned that their pets and children are also at high risk for becoming ill because of toxic levels of formaldehyde in their trailers.
Paul Stewart, a former Army officer, said that he and his wife have "lost a great deal through our dealings with FEMA, not the least of which is our faith in government."
FEMA Director R. David Paulison spoke at the July hearings and issued an apology, stating that FEMA should have tested trailers earlier. "The health and safety of residents is my primary concern," said Paulison.
Paulison, however, made it seem as if the more than 200 complaints from residents represented only a small fraction of the families living in these trailers and that more research and testing is needed before conclusive reports can determine the cause of illness in some trailer residents as well as the actual level of formaldehyde that is unsafe in homes.
Paulison also promised to consult with several U.S. health, environmental and housing agencies as well as trailer manufacturers regarding this issue. He also admitted that concerns over environmental toxins in trailers extend beyond formaldehyde and may be connected to the presence of mold, mildew, bacteria or other unidentified substances.
FEMA said that it thoroughly tested new trailers in September and October 2006. In May, however, the agency reported finding formaldehyde in those trailers at 1.2 parts per million. After four days of heavy ventilation, the formaldehyde levels decreased to 0.3 parts per million.
FEMA argued that the level of formaldehyde present following the ventilation met the standard used by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for its manufactured homes. Following the hearing, however, Paulison said that FEMA recognizes that ventilating trailers is an impractical solution during the Gulf Coast's summer heat and humidity. (Lawmakers were quick to add that FEMA had initially issued the advice at the beginning of the summer of 2006.)
Mary C. DeVany, an occupational health and safety engineer advising the Sierra Club, testified that the exposure limit of 0.3 parts per million is a staggering 400 times the normal limit for year-round exposure to formaldehyde set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. DeVany referred to FEMA's claim that the levels were safe as the "misapplication and skewing of scientific results . . . to minimize adverse health effects."
After speaking with many trailer manufacturers, FEMA and Paulison said they were still unable to determine whether production problems contributed to contamination. Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) said that trailer manufacturers should not be held responsible until a more comprehensive study of the toxic living conditions has been conducted.
Still, others argue that FEMA's response to this problem serves as a poor representation for how this country prepares for and handles emergency situations like Katrina. Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) claims that America's consumer regulations are too lax and that FEMA's inability to provide the proper help to those more in need has placed them in violation of many things but first and foremost, the golden rule – do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Beginning in August, federal disaster officials plan to move thousands of hurricane victims out of contaminated trailers but many wonder if this action is too little too late.
A spokesman from FEMA said that the agency will also stop using these travel trailers in future disasters until it believes it can deliver safe ones, free from contamination. According to the new plan, FEMA will get rid of government trailer sites on the Gulf Coast and instead provide families in need with safe mobile homes, hotel rooms or apartments.
The immediate relocation of families currently living in trailers has the potential of becoming a logistical nightmare as there are still over 65,000 occupied trailers on the Gulf Coast, 45,000 in Louisiana alone, and no other available facilities to house a large amount of those families displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This is especially problematic as the current hurricane season has already spawned a number of dangerous storms including two category-five hurricanes (Dean and Felix).
Currently, FEMA has arranged about 4,500 rental units in Louisiana, but that is still nowhere near enough for what is needed to house all the people who need to be removed from contaminated or potentially contaminated trailers.
Still, it is imperative that residents living in contaminated trailers be evacuated before illnesses and long-term problems become impossible to avoid.
Paul Nelson's 74-year-old mother died last October after living in one of the contaminated trailers since Katrina destroyed her home. The cause of her death was pneumonia and heart problems. Prior to living in the trailer, Nelson's mother never had lung problems. An independent test conducted with a kit provided by the Sierra Club found dangerous levels of formaldehyde in her trailer.
"End of August here will be two years of people living in these things. This is wrong," Nelson said. "I can't bring my mother back, but get the people out of these trailers, get these children out of the trailers and put them in some other accommodation."
By this time, it is likely that many people living in contaminated trailers have already been exposed to dangerously high levels of formaldehyde and will experience adverse health events as a result of this exposure. For others, however, a swift relocation plan for all current trailer residents may save them from illnesses related to formaldehyde exposure.
Parker Waichman LLP is available for consultation if you believe you or a loved one has suffered ill-effects from being housed in a contaminated trailer or if you have been unable to be relocated to safe alternative housing.
On June 1, 2006, the Army Corps of Engineers took responsibility for the flooding in New Orleans caused by Hurricane Katrina. A massive, report of over 6,000 pages, prepared by the 150-member Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force assembled and headed by the Corps, stated the flooding was a result of failed levees which were built in a disjointed fashion using outdated methods.
The report concluded that the levees were inconsistent in quality, materials and design and that the inconsistencies left gaps that were exploited by the storm. Engineers did not take into account the poor subterranean soil quality and the resulting sinking of land that caused some sections of the levees to be as much as two feet lower than other parts.
The report also blamed four breaches in canals that run through New Orleans on foundation failures that were not considered in the original design of these structures. These breaches caused two-thirds of the flooding in New Orleans.
A prior, and highly critical, report by the Independent Levee Investigation Team, which was made up of experts from the University of California at Berkeley, concluded that the devastation Katrina inflicted on New Orleans was caused by the failure of the system, calling it "unfinished" and "impotent."
The group said the floodwalls failed because they were not built properly and that some levees washed away. In fact, the team concluded that the levees were not initially overrpowered by the storm surge but, rather, because they were improperly constructed of sandy soils that the surge simply ate through before overtopping occurred.
The group was highly critical of the Army Corps of Engineers, calling them "dysfunctional" and "unreliable." The team stated, " New Orleans flooded not so much because there was a hurricane, but because of human error, poor decisions and judgments, and failed policies."
Hurricane Katrina damaged some 169 miles of the 350-mile hurricane system that protects New Orleans and was blamed for more than 1,570 deaths and $100-$200 billion in property damage in Louisiana alone.
When people purchase insurance protection, it is with the belief that the policy covers them for the risks described in their policy. Insurance companies are obligated by law to handle your claim with good faith and fair dealing. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not see it quite the same way.
Companies will collect premiums, raise rates, and do whatever is necessary to ensure an uninterrupted flow of revenue. When it comes time to pay out on a loss or claim, however, insurance companies will always look first to the possibility of denying coverage as a result of any: (1) omission, error, or delay on the part of its insured; (2) policy exclusion or limitation in coverage; (3) ambiguity concerning the event leading to the claim; or (4) other potential (and mostly bogus) reasons for denying the claim.
As a result, the insured is often forced to pursue a number of annoying and time-consuming appeals within the company or a "bad faith" lawsuit against the company. Countless telephone calls and letters are often part of this frustrating process.
Since there have been billions of dollars in claims brought about by the enormous damage done by Hurricane Katrina, the insurance carriers have worked overtime trying to come up with as many ways of denying legitimate claims as possible (while keeping all of the premiums, of course).
All states have laws governing how insurance carriers are to deal with their insureds, handle claims, and disclaim coverage. Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi are no exceptions. In fact, Louisiana mandates that an insurer make a written offer to resolve a property damage claim within 30 days after receipt of a "satisfactory proof of loss" for the claim. If an insurance carrier fails to do this and has no reason for its failure, it may be assessed a penalty of up to 25% on the amount due.
Even when insurance companies respond within 30 days, they often choose to simply deny a claim in order to place the burden on the insured to pursue internal appeals or legal remedies. While this may seem foolhardy on the part of an inurer, it is actually quite profitable since people, who need money immediately, often choose to accept a smaller payout in order to avoid appeals and lawsuits. Claims that are denied are likewise not pursued in a surprising number of cases snce many people trust the insurance carrier to have made a proper and legal disclaimer.
Homeowners insurance typically does not cover floods resulting from a hurricane. Therefore, the National Flood Insurance Program generally covers flood damage. Most homeowner's policies include a sentence excluding flood, surface water, waves, tidal water, overflow of a body of water or spray from any of these.
Homeowners insurance though does cover things such as wind damage and damage from wind-driven rain. In the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina, insurers are using the flood exclusion to avoid paying claims on homes damaged only by wind or other covered risks. Thus, many inland residents in Baton Rouge and other areas have had perfectly proper claims denied under an exclusion that simply does not apply to their particular situations. Such improper denials involving claims from non-flooded areas are nothing more than bad faith on the part of the insurers.

Casey Anthony Updated News
June 10, 2011 by staff
Casey Anthony Updated News, Casey Anthony emotions this morning continued to draw heavy consideration on television. On WOFL-Channel 35, a legalanlyst Brad Conway, said Anthony was "crying these big tears -. I do not buy it," Conway, who used to represent George and Cindy Anthony, refused to speculate on what the lawyer Dorothy Clay Sims may be saying to comfort Anthony.
However, the judge O.H. Eaton Jr., a legalanlyst WESH-Channel 2, was an advantage for the defense. "Casey Anthony suddenly humanized a bit just because you are showing the pain," said Eaton. "She came across as a foul-mouthed party girl and I think this emotional display of it is original and I think the jury recognized that."
Do you agree?
WFTV-Channel 9, Bill Sheaffer reminded viewers that juries should not consider sympathy or anger at coming up with a verdict. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter, Caylee.
"Casey breaks down in court," WESH headlined its lead story on the noon news today. WESH's Amanda Ober said the testimony of a forensic anthropologist Caylee's remains had been in the woods for six months. "During his testimony, the photos were being shown some of Caylee's bones, which were distributed at the crime scene, and Casey seemed to push over the edge," said Ober.
WFTV Steve Barrett said: "The most dramatic moments of the morning came after a forensic anthropologist said that Caylee's skeletal remains are scattered in the forest and damaged by weather and wildlife," said Barrett. "This testimony caused Casey to sob, and her lawyer tried to comfort her. The judge took a long break to give Casey time to regain her composure."
WKMG-Channel 6, Tony Pipitone reported that a sidebar, in which Chief Judge Belvin Perry was based, was an effort to kill time and let Anthony regain composure. Perry then took a long break that lasted 25 minutes Pipitone estimates. "Casey Anthony, during the recess, came to mourn, keeping the tissues of the mouth and nose, rubbing her neck with a towel," said Pipitone. Attorney Sims was "hugging and fondling her during this period to the jury room" said Pipitone.
Pipitone described the graphic testimony this morning: "meet the animals from the waist and dragging her daughter through the swamp and leaving a trail of bones and evidence."
During a break in court this morning, Mike DeForest of WKMG reported that Anthony did not have visitors on Thursday night after the end of the court that day because the judge Perry said he was sick.
Mark NeJame legal WKMGanlyst gave a preview this afternoon questioning: How could Dr. Jan Garavaglia, chief medical examiner to determine Caylee's death was a homicide? NeJame predicted that the defense attorney Cheney Mason should do a good job because he has had ample time to prepare. "It is only his third witness in the trial long enough now," said NeJame. But he added the NeJame Garavaglia will "come in very credible."
