California Employment Law
Have California Employment Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer.
Hello and thank you for your question today.
Are you online with me?
First, let me say that I am terribly sorry to hear that you are in this situation. To receive unemployment, you must prove that you lost your job through no fault of your own. Usually, resigning from your position without good cause immediately triggers a denial of benefits. Unemp. Ins. Code Section 1256 provides: "An individual is disqualified for unemployment compensation benefits if the director finds that he or she left his or her most recent work voluntarily without good cause. . . ." Good cause is defined in Title 22, Section 1256-3(b): "Good cause" exists for leaving work, when a substantial motivating factor in causing the claimant to leave work, at the time of leaving, whether or not work connected, is real, substantial, and compelling and would cause a reasonable person genuinely desirous of retaining employment to leave work under the same circumstances. Generally good cause for leaving work is decided on the facts at the time the claimant left work. Unless there is a timely connection between any alleged reason for leaving and the actual leaving, the employee has waived what might otherwise justify termination of the employment relationship and has negated the required causal connection between any given alleged reason for leaving and leaving. The claimant may submit several reasons for leaving work, some of which, when considered individually, do not constitute good cause. However, if one reason which is good cause is a substantial motivating factor in causing the claimant to leave work, the claimant's leaving is with good cause."
However, Title 22, Section 1256-3(c) provides: "Prior to leaving work, the claimant has a duty to attempt to preserve the employment relationship. Failure to do so negates what would otherwise constitute good cause."
So, had you been fired for not signing, you would have received benefits. Because you resigned, I must unfortunately tell you that things will be very difficult.
In Zorrero v. CUIAB, (47 Cal. App.3d 434, 1975): the court stated "[T]he quitting must be for such a cause as would reasonably motivate in a similar situation the average able-bodied and qualified worker to give up his or her employment with its certain wage rewards in order to enter the ranks of the . . . unemployed." Thus, if you can prove that you were in fact going to get fired, and that quitting was the only reasonable alternative open to you, and that you tried to preserve the employment relationship, then you MAY be able to prevail.
Especially, because if you can show that the change in your duties was so drastic as to constitute a constructive termination.
then you can show that you were technically fired, before you had the opportunity to quit.
The good news, is that unemployment usually denies benefits and sets an appeal the second an employer makes any legitimate argument as to why you should be denied benefits.
However, I do not want to give you false hope here, because if your employer states that they tried to work with you, and you refused, things may not go well if you do not have any documentation to the contrary.
Because to be able to quit in a situation like this, under a theory of constructive termination, you would needed to have allowed the employer an opportunity to remedy the situation, or would have informed the employer that you were not willing to sign, and thus given the employer the chance to allow you to stay in your current position, or some proof that shows that prior to handing them your resignation letter, you did something to try and preserve the employment relationship with the duties you originally had.
I realize that the law is not entirely in your favor here and I am truly sorry to have to deliver bad news. Nonetheless, I trust that you will appreciate an accurate explanation of the law and realize that it would be unprofessional of me and unfair to you to provide you with anything less.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding the above and I will be more than happy to assist you further. If you do not require any further assistance, I would be most grateful if you would remember to provide my service a positive rating, as this is the only way I will receive credit for assisting you.
Have a wonderful rest of your day.
Would the fact that I asked them to allow me to make the changes requested but not sign a document I disagreed with show that I tried to preserve the relationship but they declined. Also what about the fact that after completing their requested changes I offered to rescind my resignation. This was the first written warning I received in my entire career and in fact just 3 months prior I received a glowing review and bonus.
I have the letter/action plan in which they state if I did not make the required changes in 30 days I could be terminated. Is that valuable in an EDD hearing?

Just amazing. I don't get how people can draw with such detail, especially when they have nothing to copy off of. This (I assume) is a completely original character, so you had to make up the design by your own. As I said before, I tried to draw.... I WILL NEVER BRING THAT UP AGAIN.
Thanks so much!!! Yeah this is my own character. Dude!!! Just because you tried to draw and it turned out bad doesn't mean you should stop trying!! All of my early attempts at drawing these guys back in high school were laughably pathetic and childish. Just keep working at it and you can become one of the greatest artists on NG!
edit: and looking back at this now, this is total crap too!! not that i'm any better these days, bye!

DR Congo's forgotten disaster
By Andrew Harding in Shabunda
From the air, the endless jungles of eastern Congo stretch out into the haze like a simmering cauldron of pea soup.
In the past two weeks, two planes had been shot at, trying to land.
We got through safely, to a small town under siege called Shabunda.
We had hitched a ride with a consignment of humanitarian food aid - the first to reach Shabunda in eight months.
Aid is badly needed. Sheltering from the oppressive midday heat, more than 100 women and children gathered in a schoolroom to wait for their daily cupful of porridge.
'Vicious' civil war
Jestrid Awezai cradles her 18-month-old son, Jacques, on her lap.
"They came at night," she said.
"They killed our cows, then kidnapped us. I don't know why."
"Eventually we managed to escape from the Mai Mai."
The Mai Mai, a Congolese group, are one of half a dozen militias fighting in the jungles of eastern Congo.
They have entirely surrounded Shabunda and have trapped at least 10,000 people in the town.
An Italian missionary, Jean-Pierre Valentin, is trapped with them.
"The people here can't even get to their fields or hunt in the forests for fear of being kidnapped or killed."
I walked to the edge of town with an armed escort.
Shabunda is guarded by about 600 troops from the RCD - a rebel army heavily backed by neighbouring Rwanda.
Rwanda is one of at least five countries which have become embroiled in Congo's horrendously complicated civil war.
The Rwandans explain that they are hunting down the remnants of the Interahamwe militia responsible for the 1994 genocide in their country.
Under occupation
However, in the process the Rwandans have occupied a huge portion of someone else's country.
He is the World Food Programme's coordinator for the region.
"This is a forgotten disaster," he says.
"Unfortunately, it is not as visible as in other places."
"We have armed bands all over."
"The roads have become totally insecure."
"It makes it very difficult to go where we need to go, when we need to go."
People were going hungry in one of the most fertile places on earth.
There is, in theory at least, a ceasefire in force in DR Congo.
However, a low-level conflict grinds on.
It is a slow, complicated, you might say unspectacular war but more than one million people are still on the run, and many more are struggling to survive.

text: So people are justifiably more than a little creeped out about the new poster for Yogi Bear, which features the completely dirty tagline "Great Things Come In Bears" while seemingly depicting Yogi and Boo-Boo engaged in anal sex. Of course, Hollywood never has just one idea – there's hundreds of unpaid interns and marketing drones churning out these taglines by the mouthful. Here's five more that didn't make the cut.

Republicans in Minnesota Senate are getting their own weekly radio show.
The GOP caucus announced today that Sen. Mike Parry, R-Waseca, will host the program Inside the Senate. It will air Friday mornings at 10:00 a.m. on KOWZ-AM in Owatonna.
"I look forward to this opportunity to communicate with the public through a weekly radio program, Parry said in a news release. "With massive budget and jobs deficits, it's more important now than ever that we create a constructive dialogue with people as we seek the best solutions to move Minnesota forward. Inside the Senate gives people with busy lives and busy schedules a consistent, focused update on the news of the Legislature."
The inaugural show tomorrow will include Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, R-Buffalo, and Assistant Majority Leader David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, as guests.
Gov. Mark Dayton is considering proposals from a handful of stations that want to host his weekly radio show. No contract has been announced. Dayton plans to carry on a radio-show tradition started by Gov. Jesse Ventura and continued by Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

Catersource surveyed caterers and other industry experts from coast to coast (and across the pond) to find out what's haute and happening in 2014. Here are a few highlights from the Catersource magazine January Trends issue. See the digital edition for the full story, complete with colorful infographics. Hot Off the Grill: Caterers say grilled is their most used cooking method, followed closely by sautéed, baked and broiled. And many caterers predict a major boost in sous-vide this year.
Meat Eaters: According to research by Baum + Whiteman, chicken is going haute this year. Be it rotisserie, roast or fried, chefs are getting fancy with the otherwise humble bird. Beyond chicken, 75 percent of caterers say the most requested center-of-the-plate protein is beef, followed by fish and seafood. On the Side: Carbs are making a comeback, and increasingly, starchy sides are standing alone as a lighter yet satisfying meal. Technomic reports that rice bowls will be big in 2014, as well as flatbreads, waffles, wraps and artisan breads. Nevertheless, caterers report that the potato continues to be a bestseller. More than 60 percent ranked potatoes as their most popular side, followed by a close tie between pasta, rice, root vegetables, beans, heirloom grains and quinoa. Local Stories? For today's thoughtful consumers, keeping it local is no longer enough. They also want to keep it real. "Consumers want assurances that what they're eating is real, in every sense of the word," according to Technomic. "Today's menus describe items far more thoroughly, listing not only the ingredients but also where they came from and how they were prepared." Now more than ever, caterers pride themselves on using locally produced food and sharing that story with guests. Caterers like Rochelle Myers, whose bestselling mushroom and goat cheese strudel is something they can create year-round using local products. Myers says they use organic cremini mushrooms from their supplier, Tuscarora Organic Growers Cooperative (Hustontown, PA); butter from South Mountain Creamery (Middletown, MD), and goat cheese from Cherry Glen Farm (Boyds, MD).
Tea - That cup of chamomile isn't just for teatime anymore. More and more, caterers are grinding up tea and using it in cocktails, as a spice, a marinade, a tenderizer or an earthy decoration. Coffee bars are making way for more herbal tea options as customers cut down on caffeine. Xanthan gum - Often used by people who are allergic to gluten to add volume to baked goods, xanthan gum is on the rise as a trendy ingredient in kitchens across the globe. What's more, "it's a great tool to make the perfect sauce or dressing," says Adam Gooch of Purple Onion Catering. Alternative flours & grains - With such a wide variety of flours and grains out there, chefs and bakers are seeing the gluten-free movement as an opportunity to experiment with different textures and flavor profiles. "I've used mesquite flour, quinoa flour, hazelnut flour and many more," says Sweets Stylist Amy Atlas, a featured speaker at the 2014 Catersource Conference & Tradeshow. In addition, grains like amaranth, buckwheat, millet, quinoa and wild rice are both delicious and gluten-free. Non-dairy milks - When it comes to catering to dairy-free diets, soymilk is just the beginning. Caterers are beginning to use a wider variety of alternatives -- coconut milk, almond milk, rice milk and more -- in everything from sauces to desserts.
Mediterranean flavors continue to be a leading cultural food favorite, according to nearly 60 percent of caterers. However, Baum + Whiteman predicts that Middle Eastern flavors from regions of Turkey, Israel, Morocco, Iraq and Iran, along with "New Israeli" cuisine, will grow in popularity this year. Latin American and Korean influences are still going strong, as are a new wave of Asian flavors such as Gochujang, a Korean amalgam of fermented hot chili paste and soy. In the same report by Baum + Whiteman, the zesty Japanese spice Shichimi togarashi is dubbed the "new salt and pepper."
Dessert action stations are one way caterers can and will show off their creativity in 2014, from marshmallow stations to interactive gelato bars. "We don't serve a lot of wedding cakes anymore," says Blaire Veronica Osborne of Plush Catering & Events, Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara, Mexico. "We still typically have a big wedding cake on display for the bride and groom to cut, but the bottom layers of the cake are almost always fake." Instead, Osborne says it's far more common nowadays to have a dessert table -- and not just any table. "We work with some fantastic designers who put together everything from the custom linens to table lighting and the platters and stands the desserts are placed on. And if we do a plated dessert we get special requests like cheese plates instead of sweets or mini desserts served family style."
As trendy as the dessert world can be, most caterers say chocolate remains a bestseller with clients. From "mini chocolate pot de crème" (24 carrots, Irvine, CA) to "chocolate brownie a la mode with chocolate covered bacon" (Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Parsippany, NJ), the decadent treat can be reinvented in any number of ways. Same goes for nostalgia. "Anything that pays homage to childhood desserts, such as s'mores, chocolate chip cookies and brownies, will find success because we all love unlocking our inner child," says Hillard.
The top three requested serving styles are buffet, plated and action/food stations, with the latter going more and more mainstream. "We are seeing a definite shift from the typical buffet or plated dinner. This year we have cocktail style receptions with small plates, action stations, tasting menus with wine pairing and family style service," says Osborne of Plush Catering & Events. Canapés and bite-size appetizers will continue to be on trend in 2014, resulting in new developments in large spoons and bowl foods. This trend is both pretty and practical: "Smaller starters mean that guests can enjoy a sampling of the bride and groom's favorite meals and keep plenty of room for the other courses," say experts at U.K.-based Rhubarb.
What's the latest beer and/or cocktail obsession with your customers? If craft beer comes to mind, you're in the majority. More than 60 percent of caterers say local craft beers are the biggest hit with their guests. Locally minded caterers are doing everything they can to embrace the craft beer movement, especially seasonal brews. "Here in Texas, there's a company called Shiner and I look forward to serving their Ruby Redbird every year," says Laura McAdams, A La Carte Events & Catering, Houston, TX. "I even stash a few bottles to get me through until they make it again."
Local craft distilled spirits are also gaining popularity, as are handcrafted cocktails and even craft sodas. Whether they appear in carbonated cocktails, bottled or on tap, these trendy soda pops are as artsy as their beer and cocktail counterparts.
From wood-aged beers to obscure vermouths, tastes are trending toward the sour and bitter. Many cocktails are now enjoyed as a before-dinner aperitif to encourage the appetite or an after-dinner digestif to help with digestion. The use of traditional bitters -- orange peel, anise, ginger, lavender and so forth -- is part of an increasing demand from customers for a 19th or 20th-century cocktail experience.
Be it classic or updated, the Moscow Mule appeared more than a few times on Catersource survey results. Maybe it's because good vodka never goes out of style or because lime juice and ginger beer -- also big flavor trends in 2014 -- are key ingredients. In addition, several caterers mentioned that gin cocktails are still big.
Christine Harkness of Flag Hill Catering & Events in New Hampshire says their most popular drinks are made with the company's own spirits and liqueurs, with all ingredients fermented, distilled and bottled onsite. The Manchester Cocktail, containing Flag Hill's own moonshine, is of particular interest to grooms and groomsmen. Read more 2014 trend predictions, including technology, weddings, what's next and more, in the Catersource magazine January 2014 digital edition.

It may give your Facebook news feed a toothache from the sweetness, but a new study by Western Illinois University says that couples who Facebook each other are happier in real life. They also say the converse is true; less online interaction means not as happy offline.
According to the Daily Mail, Professor Christopher Carpenter says that people who regularly tag pictures of their spouse, interact, and post status updates report having closer romantic relationships.
Facebook already runs a thin line in relationships where a partner can become jealous of the interactions their partner has on the social media site. Carpenter says that when someone regularly tags their partner in pictures and posts, then the partners aren't as jealous of interactions with others.
While some of us aren't big fans of our friends filling our news feed with pictures and "I love you snookums!" posts, at least it's a sign that your friends and family are happy in their relationships.

BlackBerry App Store Hits 2,000 Apps
That's still well shy of the 50,000 odd apps you can find in Apple's App Store for the iPhone platform. It's also too early to declare that RIM is losing the war; remember that the BlackBerry has had third-party apps available for years now in other stores like Handango, whereas Apple's App Store is about to have its one-year anniversary.
But the App Store has changed the game considerably. Now consumers expect to buy apps right from their devices, and from a central location. RIM still has a little time to improve BB App World before consumers catch on--but not much.Originally posted to AppScout.

Final Stats | Quotes | Notes
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - Michigan State coach Joanne P. McCallie got her 300th career win, but only after the No. 20 Spartans overcame a lackluster first half and began playing more like a team.
Allyssa DeHaan scored 17 points as Michigan State (8-2) overcame a one-point midgame deficit for a 69-45 victory over UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday night.
"I was very impressed with Allyssa's composure," McCallie said, "playing against such a fine post player as (Jenna) Green," who led Santa Barbara with 13 points and nine rebounds.
McCallie is in her seventh season at Michigan State after eight years at Maine.
The Gauchos (4-7) took a 27-26 halftime lead on Jordan Franey's two 3-pointers. She finished with 12 points.
"They came out very aggressive. They're an excellent team. We knew they were coming off a great win against Pepperdine," 78-67 on Monday, McCallie said. "We did a much better job in the second half of working together. ...
"I wasn't pleased with everything in the first half, but I thought it was a great basketball game."
Michigan State's Victoria Lucas-Perry stayed on the sidelines for much of the first half and scored all her 15 points in the second half.
"I know Victoria, as a senior, was not happy to be sitting on the bench in the first half," the Spartans coach said. "Victoria sat a long time, and I felt good about that, from a standpoint, because I knew what we would get out of Victoria because of that."
Aisha Jefferson added 12 for the Spartans.

New Delhi: While carrying on a promotion press conference for his court room drama 'PINK', Shoojit Sircar pointed out that as a society why do we only question women about their virginity.
Sircar said,"Asking women 'are you a virgin?' is a strong statement, but we never ask the men about the same."
Asked about the discrimination girls face about their sexuality, Bachchan said, "If girls are asked about their virginity, then boys should also be questioned. There should be no discrimination.
If a girl is asked there is always a question mark, as if it is something very wrong, but when it comes to boys, there is an exclamation mark denoting that they have done something great.
When pointed that the movie seems to be targeting the urban society, the director-cum producer said, "I have a language which I use in my film-making. I am born and brought up in urban areas- may that be Delhi or Mumbai. So, I understand the urban language. But I will try to take this movie to towns and villages. But this movie has its own language."

Update, 6/28: Today, the remaining members of TLC explained the reasoning for not including Lopes on the "Waterfalls" remix. Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas explains: "Our re-make of "Waterfalls" was a tribute to our sister Lisa, who actually co-wrote "Waterfalls" with Marqueze Etheridge. We don't own the master recording rights to Lisa's raps on any of our music, and our requests to gain the rights so far have been denied. With the Japanese anniversary edition, we were forced to use creative ways to honor Lisa's memory and celebrate this milestone with our fans."
Chilli also went on to explain that the person filling in on the new version of "Waterfalls," Namie Amuro, was friends with Left Eye.
Sorry, TLC! All is forgiven!
Original post: As we all know, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes was the greatest thing about TLC always. She was the fire. She was the spunk. She was the girl who accidentally burned her boyfriend's mansion down because she was slightly irritated and tried to set fire to his sneakers in a bath. When Left Eye died in a car crash at 30, in 2002, it bummed us all out. Hard. Girl had great spirit, huge talent and a personality that eclipsed everyone around her. So when we hear that TLC has released a remix of "Waterfalls" where Lisa Lopes' vocal is replaced by a Japanese pop star, we can't feel anything other than pissed.
Left Eye's family is reportedly perturbed by the news, but says they can live with it if the remix is a Japan-only release (which, apparently, it will be). However, we say that using a Japanese star to fill the shoes of your dead bandmate for a new remix, just so that you can sell more copy in that country, is in extraordinarily poor taste. We're not doubting the love that TLC's T-Boz and Chilli felt for their lost friend and writing partner -- we just have to wonder if they've lost sight of what's important with this release.
TLC has performed a few times since Left Eye passed, and it has always felt like a sweet tribute. There was always something poignant about seeing the duo perform songs that should, of course, have been performed by all three of them together. It served to always remind us of the hugeness of Lopes' loss.
At 2009's Justin Timberlake and Friends concert in Las Vegas, there was a gaping hole on the stage when TLC performed, but it felt like an exercise in loving nostalgia. Same thing when Chilli and T-Boz hit the American Idol stage for the series' 2011 finale. They performed that time with the singing competition's finalists, so the glaring absence of Left Eye wasn't so enormous. If she was alive, we thought, she'd have been there too -- so it was kind of nice in a way.
We'd be less inclined to criticize TLC about this new single with Namie Amuro had they just found themselves a new third member to work on new material with -- it has always been strange to see the band as a duo, afterall, and we understand the urge to keep performing. But the last thing Chilli and T-Boz should be doing is taking old material and scrubbing Left Eye's mark out of it, like it had never happened in the first place. That old material is all we, the fans, have left of Left Eye, so when she's removed from it, it feels like a slap in the face.
Chilli and T-Boz just guested in a Namie Amuro video named "Hands On Me." We're not sure if this is a cute crossover that will last five minutes, or if they're prepping to get Amuro in TLC full time. If they are, we're not opposed to that. And we're not opposed to them guesting on Amuro tracks. Left Eye is gone. Nothing can bring her back. So, if the band moves forward as a new trio, we understand. But messing with the back catalog and messing with Lisa Lopes' musical legacy is unacceptable and in bad taste, no matter what angle we look at it from.
We wish the best of luck to TLC in the future. We can only hope they leave Left Eye's previous work untouched from now on -- because that's the least she deserves.

What do you think of Elodie?
I only recently heard the name Elodie (pronounced like Melody, without the M) and I must admit I'm slightly in love with it. It's of French origin, but from the little research I've done it isn't even that popular in France.
I'd love people's opinions on it. Is it stunning or is it too "out there"? Would it be weird to use it as we've no French heritage?
Also, if there are any French Berries out there who could weigh in with their thoughts that would be great too

i love how you point out generalizations people make, by making a generalization.Big issue w/ alot of the females is that there parents come from the mainland into America and want the best for their daughters. The parents are ignorant and uneducated on the transformation that has occurred in America so they are on some ignorant trailer park redneck shit thinking 'all' black people are scum. They see mostly white people run America and want their daughters actually to get w/ white dudes over frailsians .. Bumps them up the socio-economic ladder and gives them an in .. in America.

SC Governor Nikki Haley to Name Jim DeMint Replacement in Senate
ABC Digital
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will name a new member of the Senate Monday afternoon, according to her spokesman, Rob Godfrey.
".@NikkiHaley will announce an appointment to fill the vacancy created by @JimDeMint's retirement during 12 PM Statehouse newser. TODAY.," Godfrey tweeted on Monday.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., is stepping down to head conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.
When reached by phone, Rep. Tim Scott had no comment about reports he would be selected.
South Carolina Republicans have speculated the Tea Party congressman would get the seat since DeMint announced his resignation less than two weeks ago.
If selected, Scott would be the fifth black Senator since Reconstruction.
Rumors suggested comedian and South Carolina native Stephen Colbert might be chasing the Senate seat, but Haley ruled out that possibility in a Facebook post 10 days ago.
"You forget one thing, my friend. You didn't know our state drink," Haley wrote, linking to a clip of her appearance on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, in which Colbert forgot the state drink was milk. "Big, big mistake."

There are at least two tiers of nostalgia. On one hand, you might hear a song on the radio that reminds you of a first kiss, a fey romance, the first slow dance at a high school mixer. And it can come as quite a shock when the song in question pops up on the oldies station.
On the other hand, some songs remind us of shores we've never seen, if only because we weren't born in time. "Nostalgic" as an adjective locks like a Lego with the songs of George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Irving Berlin—but fewer and fewer among us can actually say "I remember when."
Lori Conner is talking about the time the Tim and Lori Show played for the elderly residents of a local senior care facility. Their audience was mostly silent, she says, and many of them didn't or couldn't register much response at all, but she knows that the group's repertoire fell on appreciative ears.
"Those were their songs and their times," Conner explains. "We just wanted to do them as well as we could because we knew they'd remember."
Guitarist Tim Mueller, summing it up nicely, puts it another way: "It would be like if you were in a coma right now and we busted out a Flock of Seagulls song."
For Conner and Mueller, there's a nostalgic connection with the music, too: love for "the old stuff" played a part in getting them together romantically as well as musically. The two had known each other since they were 12, she explains, but after graduating from high school in Darby they went their separate ways and didn't meet again until their 20-year reunion.
"We'd both been in bands before and had just fallen in love with the old stuff, and even though Tim was still living in California we used to send tapes to each other. I sent him the music to 'Someone to Watch Over Me' and he sent me back a tape of him playing it on guitar. And I just thought, 'Wow!'
"We didn't start out wanting to play together," she continues. "We just wanted to get together, and it took us the first year figuring out how to be together. Then we started playing more and more and we thought, 'Hey, we don't sound so bad.'"
The two (drummer Tom Bushey makes it a trio) favor sparse arrangements and simple bass lines. They trade off between nimble guitar leads and Conner's soaring voice, which effortlessly pulls down the high notes and, you might say, quenches the spots that others can't reach. Simplicity, they agree, is the watchword.
"One of the things you learn after 15 or 20 years of learning an instrument is how not to play," Mueller muses.
"And I think people try to make some big statement when they play old jazz," Conner continues, "But when you listen to some of those old songs, you can just hear how much attention the songwriter paid to each note. We don't want to add anything that isn't there."
See The Tim & Lori Show Friday, Dec. 31 at the Hob Nob from 7 to 9 p.m. and Tuesday, Jan 4 at 6:30 p.m. You can also catch them Wednesday, Jan. 5 at Marianne's at 6:30 p.m. All shows are FREE.


text: Just thought I'd see your opinions. I have around 10 rolls of Delta 3200 exposed at 1600. If I develop them now I have D76 available to soup them in. If I wait til I get back to Mexico City I can use my Pyrocat HD. The advantage of developing now is not having to worry about X rays, lead bags, or trying to convince the almost always unwilling customs officer to hand inspect. Also D76 kind of fail proof, while I've only seen a few examples and published times of this film in pyrocat (albeit, very nice ones). What would you do?

Problems starting Ubuntu after cloning with Ghost 8.2 (fsck complains)
I've had Feisty dual booting with Windows on my laptop, so I decided to move to Gutsy now. Now what I want to do instead though, is have my Windows XP move to a VirtualBox VM that runs on top of Gutsy.
What I did, is plug a new hard drive that I borrowed from work, a Hitachi 40GB. I have a Toshiba 40GB myself. I backed up my hard drive using Ghost, and start fresh with the borrowed drive. Installed Gutsy, got the VM working (with a lot of fiddling around with the VM), on the borrowed drive. Now I have to clone the system back from the borrowed drive onto my own drive, but it seems that Ghost resized my partition a slight bit, since the size was a bit smaller in my 40GB drive. After I cloned it, GRUB refused to work, but that was an easy fix. But then fsck also said my drive is screwed up, so it says it wants to fix my drive, but it seems to make it worse. It just has a whole bunch of errors about innodes in wrong places, like a zillion of them. So I reran it with fsck -y, and now I couldn't even mount or boot the drive.
What should I do to get the system back onto my own drive properly? I only have the laptop running Linux. My desktop runs Windows (although I do have an Ubuntu VM) so dd won't work.
Try again this time use gprated to handle fixing/creating partitions and for copying the contents of the partitions (one at a time) from one drive. The utility gparted can be found in many 'live' Linux CD including;
Works like a charm.
I used the Ubuntu desktop disc, it already has gparted. Connected the source drive, go into gparted, make sure everything's unmounted then just copy away.
Glad to hear you got the system transferred and working. Remember to use gparted in the future instead of ghost which does not support many Linux partitions very well.
