Can my employer fire me without explanation?
A reader from Dubai asks: I work for a company in Dubai as an HR for last 7 years. Recently the owner has asked me in writing to leave the work place with 2 months notice sighting "unsatisfactory performance. I spoke with my manager and asked him if there is any problem with my work or any work is pending from my side or any work I have not completed but there was no response from any one.
I had written a letter to the company owner asking for an explanation for this remark and how can they say my performance has suddenly become unsatisfactory. In fact I have been always appreciated by my direct managers for the work I have done a lot for the company. Please advise urgently what option do I have as per the labour law. Can I ask ministry of labour or Dubai court to reinstate me again in my company in case I proved that my termination was against the labour law?
I would like to tell the questioner that he might be dismissed arbitrarily by his company especially as in the event of the employee's default the law requires that an investigation shall be carried out with the said employee, notify him in writing, and attach the investigation result in his personal file and then the termination applied. Therefore, I advise the questioner to file a complaint before the labour ministry and in case no amicable solution reached with the employer then he has the right to ask the labour ministry to transfer the case to the labour court. To claim all his rights in addition to a compensation for arbitrary dismissal. Finally the questioner as per the labour law can't ask the ministry of labour or labour court to reinstate him again.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/User:SysRq/Millions of Americans
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit User:SysRq/Millions of Americans
Alright, here we go again, trying to get a goddamn article reviewed. Maybe the title will attract people to this one; I think it's a clever concept myself but I'll let you be the judge. PEEING members only, please, as always. Thanks in advance. sirsysrq @ 15:01 Dec 2
- I'm almost done here...and in this case I mean it. BlueYonder - CONTACT
|I'm writing this section last, so I won't say too much here for fear of overlapping. Anyway, as I'll elaborate later on, this article has some pretty promising potential for humour that is marred primarily by the fact that a large amount of its content-facts about 'Millions Of Americans'-just aren't interesting enough, and aren't interspersed enough with actual humour. Most unfortunatley, much of the article's humour seems to stem from the idea that millions of Americans are here represented by a person with that name-an idea that just doesn't really sustain itself as a fresh humour device throughout the article. I'm sure that isn't really your fault, and it must have been really difficult to avoid falling into that trap, but the fact is that this trap weakens the humour of the article, and you'll really have to take steps to remedy that if you hope the article to be a success (see below for more).
|Hmm...aye, tough-'un, this. See, one problem I'm sure you're aware of is that making fun of Americans is a rather used joked around here, and any article on that subject is rather destined to suffer on virtue of that fact.
On the other hand, while the subject of your article is made pretty obvious, you do do a pretty good job of not shoving it in the reader's face or making them feel like you're attacking them if they're American. The use of facts in the article maintains this nicely.
Unfortunately, this same use of facts is also a source of criticism, this one a more prominent problem: the facts that make up the article aren't interesting enough on their own, and aren't mixed up with enough humour to counter it. The package you've put them into-'Millions Of Americans' as a person-helps somewhat, but not enough.
All in all, the concept is a relatively solid one, but in the end it's just not interesting/funny enough. There are several ways to fix this-the most straightforward being mixing it with more humour. You could perhaps give the tone of the article a bit more personality (I'll go more into that in the next section), or perhaps mix some untrue 'facts' with the actual facts in a way that makes them look like facts...in short, anything that makes it in any way more funny.
Alternatively-and I know a lot of people hate to hear this sort of thing-you could just scrap the article and use the general idea with another subject-what it is should probably be your choice. But I must emphasise that a new article might not prove necessary at all if you truly believe you can make this one work.
|Prose and formatting:
|Not bad. I can't find any grammatical or spelling errors to speak of, and the article is laid out pretty nicely. Still, the red links-especially the multiple ones in the last paragraph-are a bit of an eyesore, so you might want to consider remedying that.
I can't really complain about prose, either-it's consistent, and I suppose this subject is best put forward with a prose that's neutral and without any specific personality in its voice. However, on that subject, I am, like I said, sure that you know that this subject is a bit tired and the facts aren't interesting enough, and, like I said, one way in which you might counter that is by giving the prose some sort of personality. Like…okay, I'm at a bit of a loss for good suggestions…perhaps the voice of an Anti-American person, or an overly patriotic American, or the guy's mother or teacher or…well, I'm sure you can think of something.
|Hmm...not too sure about this. The one of the guy in the canoe, for instance, seems to serve very little purpose and relate very little to the content. The election poster is okay, but I really think something could have been added to it to relate to the words-a picture of a huge crowd, or something else that effectively represents millions of Americans. And as to that one where the election poster is put among those others, the photoshopping, as I'm sure you're aware, is really pretty obvious. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but if it is, it's not very clear and doesn't seem to relate to anything in particular (if it is intentional, though, just drop me a line explaining how, and I'll come right back and change the score). All in all, I really think this section could use a bit more work-perhaps a picture of "Millions Of Americans" as a kid, or his mother-a picture that successfully encompasses the state of a nation can work wonders if properly chosen.
|Averaged, as always.
|Final Score:
|All in all, a pretty good idea and relativley solid concept that unfortunatley deteriorates rather quickly and just isn't interesting enough, but is probably fixable. Hope this helped, and sorry it took so long.

Hard to believe it was only 16 months ago the Oklahoma City Thunder lost a hard fought five-game Finals (especially the first four) to the Miami Heat. At the time it seemed like the Thunder would be battling Miami in the 2-3-2 for years to come. They had three of the 20 best players in the league, all under 24, and all poised to get even better than they already were.
Fast forward to the present, a shitty trade, a tough luck injury and some money saving moves later things aren't looking so bright anymore.
Today, Thunder General Manager Sam Presti announced All-NBA point guard Russell Westbrook had arthroscopic knee surgery and is going to miss the first "4-6 weeks" of the regular season. Presti stated the surgery was to reduce swelling, which many have reported was caused by "loose stitch." That timetable sets Westbrook's return date at anywhere from just after Thanksgiving to mid-December, and OKC expects him to be at 100% when he does return (for comparison, Chris Paul once tore his meniscus and came back just fine).
In the meantime, OKC will rely on Reggie Jackson, who has proven to be competent but not a true third option on a team that desperately needs one, and the unproven but talented Jeremy Lamb. Also, they have a guy named Kevin Durant who will handle most of the heavy lifting while Westbrook is out, and he's proven himself to be capable.
The biggest worry for OKC during this time will be keeping up with the Spurs, Grizzlies, Clippers and improved (even though we all hate Dwight) Rockets. The 15-25 games that Westbrook will probably miss could end up coming back to hurt the Thunder in the spring when they're playing more road playoff games than they'd like (in the Durant/Westbrook era they are 9-17 on the road in the playoffs, 14-7 at home).
However, there is a bit of good news that comes out of this, as Presti stated that the surgery today revealed that the previous meniscus injury is completely healed, so there's that.

Real Name: Matt Murdock
Height: 6'
Weight: 200 lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red
First Appearance: Daredevil #1
His Deal: Justice is blind -- no, really blind. When young Matt Murdock saved an old man from getting hit by a speeding truck, he was unfortunately doused with chemicals that robbed him of his sight. As luck would have it, those chemicals gave him a gift as well -- extrasensory powers. A defense lawyer by day and crime-fighter by night, Daredevil wages his war in Hell's Kitchen against the likes of the Kingpin. Recently, Double-D's identity was revealed to the public, turning Matt Murdock's life into a hell of it's own.
Powers: Along with heightened senses, Daredevil has an extra sense that acts like radar. He sports a billy club that doubles as a grappling hook. Toss in some ninja training just for the hell of it and you have yourself a superhero.
Real Name: Elektra Natchios
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 130 lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
First Appearance: Daredevil #168
Her Deal: Daughter of a Greek diplomat, Elektra met and fell in love with Matt Murdock in college. When her father was accidentally killed, her life took a dark path that put her at odds with Daredevil. Eventually she became the favored assassin of the Kingpin. Before she could make amends for her ways, she was murdered by Bullseye. But don't cry, she came back to life soon enough. Multiple times.
Powers: She has no superpowers, just an incredible gift for combat.
Real Name: Johnny Storm
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 170 lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blonde
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #1
His Deal: Marvel's famous hothead had no business hitching a ride on a space shuttle with his sister Sue Storm and her beau Reed Richards. However, he talked his way onboard and ended up being bombarded with cosmic rays along with his rival Ben Grimm. Johnny has always been the one to embrace his powers and seek the public eye. He's also quite adept at writing the number "4" in the sky.
Powers: Watch out when you hear the cry, "Flame on!" Once the brash Johnny Storm says those magic words, he bursts into flames. The Torch is capable of flying, accidentally burning down forests and shooting great balls of fire.
Real Name: Tony Stark
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 bs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
First Appearance: Tales of Suspense #39
His Deal: A brilliant inventor and entrepreneur, Tony Stark demonstrated his mechanical aptitude when he was just a wee one. He eventually inherited his father's company and built the Iron Man suit. For years Stark pretended that Iron Man was his bodyguard, leaving the identity a mystery. Eventually the truth came out. And then it was decided nobody knew it anymore. So... yeah. Hooray, comics!
Powers: The suit has everything a hero could need. It even makes espresso! Iron Man can fly, shoot powerful lasers and beat the crap out of stuff.
Real Name: Eric Magnus Lehnsherr
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 190 lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White
First Appearance: X-Men #1
His Deal: A gypsy, Magnus was tossed into Auschwitz by the Germans as a young boy. Thrown into a mass grave, Magnus was left for dead, but crawled up the pile of bodies, including those of his murdered family, and managed to survive in the concentration camp for several years. Over time, Magnus learned of his great abilities and of man's incredible fear of such power. He adopted a philosophy opposite of his long-time friend, Charles Xavier. Magneto's belief is that homo-superior is the new order of man and that any aggression brought on mutants by man should be returned in kind.
Powers: The Master of Magnetism is among the most powerful being on Earth. He has complete control over electro-magnetic forces and has killed millions over the years. Bending spoons is nothing when you can rip the adamantium off Wolverine's bones or cause an EM pulse that knocks out power for half the world.
We'll have more on Marvel Nemesis next week, so stay tuned.

nvidia Driver probs after upgrading card
I recently installed Fedora core 3.
I had a Geforce 2 MX, and got the latest nvidia driver to work fine after removing mesa.
I decided to upgrade my video card to get better FPS in counter-strike. I purchased a NVidia Geforce FX since I thought that would make the upgrade simple. Since the nvidia driver is supposed to be unified I figured I could just remove the old card and put the new one in and it would work. Things didn't turn out to be that simple.
X hangs at a black screen when I try startx. First I tried removing and then reinstalling the drivers, then I tried the various fixes listed in the forums here. No luck so far.
I tried the older driver, the old patched driver, downgrading the kernel to 2.6.9, uprading the kernel to 2.6.10, playing with the config files, and the bios settings and so far nothing really seems to effect it at all.
It seems to hang right after loading GLX.
The nv driver loads fine, so I know the card is ok.
Any help would be much appreciated.
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
You will want to install the kernel source for your current kernel version, and then download the NVidia driver. Running it as root will compile a new 'nvidia' driver for your kernel version.
Sometimes something will happen on my desktop and x windows won't start. Rerunning the driver install program fixes the problem.
Good Luck!
Yeah I already tried running the NVidia installer and extracting it and then doing make install.
The nvidia installer isn't a traditional tarball. You run the ./nvidia-installer script. You need the kernel-source installed first.

Episode Title: "Failure Drill"
Writer: Jonathan Lisco and Chitra Elizabeth Sampath
Director: J Michael Muro
Detectives Ochoa (Jenny Gago) and Adams (Regina King) are in the midst of a shootout when we cut to twelve hours earlier. Adams is at the firing range, where she receives some tips from a young officer. She and Ochoa then investigate the shooting of an elderly couple when they get a call about another shooting. They arrive on the scene where a mother was shot dead, presumably by her husband. The son insists his father is innocent but testimony from a neighbor pins the murder on the husband.
Back at the station, the beat cop from the shooting range stops by Adams' desk to ask her out. She reluctantly agrees. Adams and Ochoa take in the suspect in the shooting and the son finally confesses that it was, indeed, his father. Adams tries to get the man to confess in order to keep his family intact.
As she and Ochoa go to a warehouse to get some paperwork filled out in the murder of the elderly couple, they happen upon a shooting. Ochoa goes down but Adams gets her our of harm's way and takes down the shooter. At the hospital, Ochoa thanks Adams and moments later her son stops in. It's the same beat cop who asked Adams out. The two discuss the matter outside, with Adams insisting Ochoa will never be okay with their dating.
Officer Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) pops a bunch of pills before starting the day. Visibly out of it, he agrees to run a community meeting and takes a burglary case, both uncharacteristic for him. Later, Officer Sherman (Ben McKenzie) pulls over an old man driving dangerously and berates Cooper for not covering him. When the man won't stop the car, Cooper gets out of the patrol car, smashes the window on the old man's car and takes his keys. Later, after Sherman questions him, Cooper admits to taking pills but won't open up to his partner, who walks away in disgust.
Detective Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) is interrupted by his estranged wife while investigating a gang robbery. He's been ignoring her calls all week and she asks him if he wants to be a part of planning for their baby. He says "yes," and later stops by the house with some paint for the baby's nursery. After catching a glimpse of his wife's lover, he asks the man to help him take a baby swing out of his truck, as his wife looks on, pleased to see the two working together.
With one episode to go until the season finale, I'm not sure what to expect from "Southland." The fires that started from Moretta's murder, the betrayal of Adams by Clarke and Cooper's drug use cooled a bit over the past couple of episodes. Well, maybe not Cooper's drug use.
What I like best about Cooper's drug problem (hey, it makes him a great character and by the series finale, I hope he cleans up) is that it's so understated. The usual drama we associate with drug use (do I even need to say the words, "Charlie Sheen?") isn't there with Cooper.
Of course, he's hooked on pain meds and not coke, but this is a TV show we're talking about. Drama is king here and to be sure, there's plenty of drama with Cooper, but it's mostly internal, bottled up inside the man. There was a nice moment at the episode's end where we got peek into Cooper's psyche, when he takes off his sunglasses after Sherman reminds him it's dark out. Yes, smashing the window on that old man's car was extreme but Cooper's calmness in the moment is a far cry from a drug-fueled rage.
As for Adams and Ochoa, they've turned a corner and I like it. Ochoa may not be the by-the-book, dedicated detective that Adams is but that doesn't make her a bad cop. Adams is the one with the heart but Ochoa has her moments, too. The scene in the hospital where she thanked Adams for saving her life is one of them.
On the other hand, how she'll handle Lydia's inevitable hook-up with her son, remains to be seen. Judging from the preview for next week, she's not as cool with it as he'd like to think. And you can just smell the irony, as Ochoa was the one pushing Adams about her sex life, all this time.
I'm still marveling at how Bryant is holding it together with his estranged, pregnant wife whose living in their house with her photographer lover. That, coupled with his grieving for Moretta, makes me wonder how much longer he'll be able to keep going like this. It seems he's learned a lesson regarding conflict, at least with his wife. Maybe he'll carry that over into his professional life. Or not.
Whatever's coming down the pipeline next week, however it plays out, I'm expecting nothing short of excellence. "Southland" has yet to let me down, this far.

I was wary about investing in this palette because for the cheap velvet packaging and shimmery shadows I thought it was overpriced.
Now that I finally decided on the Naked Eyes I (II is better for cool complexions), I have to say it is very versatile and I can create some good looks with it.
The only negatives are - the packaging is better in the Naked Eyes II pallette. I don't like the cheap velvet cover and the fact that it doesn't have a secure closure. I have to keep it boxed. Also as everyone else noted - the glitter shadows have fallout - lots of it! I typically only use MAC and Bare Escentuals and they don't have anywhere near the fallout level of these - even though Bare Escentuals is a loose pigment. I wish there were a couple more matte shades but otherwise a versatile palette.
What also made this palette useful was searching some tutorials on youtube. this was a good one

Team: WHS girls' basketball
Coach: Carl Pierson
Assistant coaches: Dusty Neibauer and Anna Philp
Captains: Samantha Laumann, Brenna Rice, and Kaylee Vanderhoff
Conf.: Wright County
Class/Section: Class 3A, Section 6 – Holy Angels, Benilde-St. Margaret's, Blake, Holy Family, Minneapolis Washburn, Mound-Westonka, and Richfield
2013 finish: The Wildcats finished last season with an 18-9 record, and captured their second consecutive Wright County Conference title with an undefeated 10-0 WCC – East record.
The team put together an eight-game win streak in January and finished the season fourth in the state for scoring, averaging nearly 66 points per game, with three games topping 80 points.
Waconia defined itself as the comeback kids last season, where the Wildcats became known for their dominating come-from-behind rallies to win close games.
The season ended surprisingly early as the 'Cats were upset by Holy Family in the section tournament.
Key returnees: After the departure of All-State Honorable Mention/All-Conference athlete Morgan Iverson, All-Conference Stephanie Dressen, All-Conference Honorable Mention Caroline Jacobs, Sarah Christians, and Fiona DeMario, the team was left without some of its biggest contributors from last season.
But back for WHS this season and ready to carry the team are a small group of experienced players. Junior Anna Schmitt returns are the team's leading point guard, after earning All-State Honorable Mention and All-Conference honors as a sophomore last season.
Miranda Schultz and Nicole Dressen return as the team's most experienced seniors, although Dressen is still recovering from a knee surgery and won't be cleared to play for a few weeks, according to head coach Carl Pierson. Senior Sam Laumann will also return to the varsity court after missing most of last season with a knee injury.
"Anna Schmitt is one of the most dynamic point guards in the state and will spearhead our offense," Pierson said. "Schultz will be in her third season as a varsity player and will need to emerge as more of a scorer than she's been previously."
Also back to the varsity roster is sophomore Madelin Dammann.
"Dammann was among the first off the bench last year but will be counted on to play a much larger role this season," Pierson said.
Newcomers: Two of this season's captains, Kaylee Vanderhoff and Brenna Rice, don't have much varsity experience but were crucial to the junior varsity in 2012-13.
"Kaylee Vanderhoff and Brenna Rice anchored the JV team last year and will ascend to starter roles this year," Pierson said.
New varsity regulars will also include juniors Kelsey Eder and Kendall Eder, along with sophomores Emily Anderson, Halli Koppi, and Megan Kirsch. Pierson said other players, like junior Kahner Priess, sophomore Allyson Fuller, and sophomore Samantha Jones will also step on to the varsity court in case of foul trouble or injuries.
Teams to beat: With Delano and Orono as favorites in the WCC – East, the Tigers and Spartans will surely be on the top of Waconia's teams to beat.
At the section level, Benilde-St. Margaret's is favored to make the state tournament, with Holy Family, Minneapolis Washburn, and Richfield
also in contention, according to Pierson.
"We are certainly an underdog on paper, but we really like the group we have, how hard they work, and what we have the chance to become," Pierson said.
The Wildcats are a guard-heavy team this season, with just one player over 5-foot-9, and will be considerably smaller than most of their opponents, Pierson said.
"We are adapting our style of play in an attempt to negate the opponent's height advantage and to play to our strengths," he said.
Goals: Pierson said the team will pursue a third Wright County Conference title this season as well as a section title, something he believes should be goals of every team.
"A three-peat will be difficult to achieve, but it's certainly something we will strive for," he said. "However, our primary goals will be to play fast, play aggressive, score a lot of points, and have a lot of fun. If we do those things, the winning and losing will take care of itself."
Fun will certainly be common for the Wildcats, as they are partnering with two local businesses this season. With HomeTown Bank, Waconia will have "Cats with a Cause," where fans can pledge 10 cents for every three-pointer made this season, with half the proceeds going to team equipment and the other half to the American Cancer Society. HomeTown Bank has agreed to match up to $1,000.
There will also be five "Free Food Fastbreak Nights," with the 'Cats this season, where on certain nights, fans can bring their game program to Island View Golf Course for a half-priced appetizer. If the Wildcats score 80 or more points during one of the designated nights, the appetizer is free. The first Free Food Fastbreak Night is Friday, Dec. 20.
First games: The Wildcats kicked off the season with a tournament at Hamline over the Thanksgiving weekend. Defeating St. Anthony Village 111-104 on Nov. 29, the Wildcats set a new state record with the Huskies for most combined points scored in a game. The high school also ranks among the top national scores.
Despite the score, Pierson said the team didn't have it's best day shooting, making only 36.6 percent of two-pointers (40-109).
"We didn't have our best game shooting, but our defense created some easy scoring opportunities and as a team we did an outstanding job of attacking the boards," he said.
Anna Schmitt and Madelin Dammann led the Wildcats with 28 and 20 points, respectively. Kelsey Eder had eight rebounds for WHS.
The next day, Waconia picked up its second win with a 91-68 victory over Providence Academy. Trailing by one point with six minutes to go in the first half, the Wildcats outscored Providence 28-8 in those final minutes for a 59-40 halftime lead. Waconia extended its lead to nearly 30 points in the second half.
"Providence is famous for slowing the game down so we were pleased to learn we could push the pace," Pierson said. "We attacked every second of the game. If we can continue to carry that mentality with us, we'll be a team no one enjoys playing against. But we'll also be a team Wildcat fans will love to come watch."
Top scorers for WHS included Schmitt (30), Kendall Eder (13), Miranda Schultz (11), Brenna Rice (11), and Kaylee Vanderhoff (11).

Anton Yelchin Joins Vampire Movie ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE
Anton Yelchin is set to star in his second vampire-themed film. Deadline reports that the Fright Night star has joined the cast of Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive. Filming begins this summer. The film also stars Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and John Hurt.
The story follows "a centuries-long love affair between two star-crossed vampires." Yelchin has been on my radar since Alpha Dog, but I have been a big fan since Star Trek. He can handle romance movies with an edge, like he did in Like Crazy. He just wrapped shooting on JJ Abrams' Star Trek sequel and will next be seen in the Dean Koontz novel adaptation Odd Thomas.
If you are not familiar with Jarmusch, I recommend you check out a film called Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai starring Forest Whitaker. This sounds like a perfect film for Jarmusch to helm, and Yelchin to star in. What are your thoughts?

This is Mona. She is a purple beta fish. She lives in a big pet store with all different kinds of animals.
Many different people come and go each day. Mona watches as they pass by. 'I wish someone would take me home,' she thought.
One day, as she is swimming around her tank, she notices two big brown eyes peeking at her.
She becomes frightened. What should she do?
Blink! Two brown eyes blink. Wiggle! A red nose wiggles. Rosy cheeks and bright white teeth appear.
A cold little girl smiles on the other side of the glass tank.
'She's not scary at all,' thinks Mona. 'I wonder if she will like me.'
"I want that one, mom," the little girl said. A lady in a red coat replies "Not today, Nita. It's time to go."
Nita waved goodbye to Mona. She was sad that she had to leave.
"I'll come back tomorrow," the little girl whispered and she walked out the door.
Mona was excited! 'I can't wait!' she thought. 'I want to show her all of my tricks. She would like that.'
Monday she blew bubbles.
Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!
Tuesday she wiggled her fins.
Flip Flap! Flip Flap!
Wednesday she swam in circles.
Thursday she did a flip.
Friday she jumped up and splashed.
Saturday she was ready to squirt water but Nita never came.
'She has come to see me every day,' thought Mona. 'I wonder where she is.'
Sunday came and still no sign of Nita. Mona watched the different people come and go.
She was sad. 'Maybe she doesn't want me after all,' she thought.
She saw the pet store owner talking to a lady in a red coat. "I'll take this blue one," said the lady and she pointed Mona.
'Oh no!' Mona thought as the owner put her in a plastic bag. 'Now I'll never see Nita again.'
Mona was still sad when the lady in the red coat put her in a brand new bowl.
She was even sad when she placed her on the table next to a pink and white cake.
She looked around at all the smiling faces. 'Why are they so happy?' she thought.
Nita was sitting at the head of the table. She smiled and clapped excitedly when she saw Mona.
Mona was glad to see her too.
"Happy Birthday, Nita!" the children cheered. Mona splashed around in her new bowl.
Later that night when Nita was asleep in her bed, Mona swam happily around her new bowl.
'I have a new home and a new friend. I'm so happy!' she thought. She snuggled in, closed her eyes, and dreamed of all the fun they would have together.

Read This Book or Hello Kitty Dies
I have a standing Wednesday evening appointment with a coaching client. Initially, I deduced that Ms. Words simply need an automated system for everything. She made it very clear that she wasn't interested in actively working with her finances on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. She simply wanted it to take care of itself.
Given that Ms. Words is a single income, single bank account, and single person household (well, except for her two feline children and the large extended family that visits frequently), setting up an automated financial system for her should not be too difficult. After I formulated my plan for getting her finances moving in the direction of meeting her financial goals, Ms. Words threw me a curve ball.
She became actively involved in her finances! One of her Action Items was to set up a Mint.com account for her bank account and credit card. When I arrived for our meeting the following week, not only had she set up the account, but she'd categorized all of her expenses for 45 days, suggested places in her spending that she could go on a "diet" and seemed to take a certain amount of enjoyment from having accomplished these things on her own. To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement.
Last week, in an effort to keep moving in the right direction, I loaned her the copy of The Wealthy Barber by David Chilton. Since it's a simple book with a common sense approach and enough basic information to provide a foundation to build from, I just knew she'd be able to make good use of it. The look of horror that crossed her face upon seeing the title was definitely unexpected. She pointed out, no less than three times, that the book's cover said Financial and implied Self Help and just looking at it was painful.
Suddenly, I had an idea that was nothing short of pure genius *coughLUCKcough*. I took a half sheet of blank printer paper and some tape, and covered the front of the book. When I grabbed the pen, she caught on and said "It should really read 'How to have enough money to buy more yarn'." So, I wrote that on the top half of the page. Then, at the bottom, I wrote "OR If You Don't Read This Book Angels … Kitties … HELLO KITTIES Will Die." She laughed but then said "You know, that actually helps!"
This exchange kind of sat in the back of my head and simmered for a while, until I saw Too Smart's post this morning. He writes "…I like to think that as rational, intelligent beings, we all should be able to make rational choices without resorting to trickery."
This made me really think about all of the tricks we have in place to convince ourselves to do what we know we should, but our emotional relationship with finances won't allow us to do. In the case of Ms. Words, she is an incredibly intelligent, professional woman. Do I REALLY think she's tricked herself into reading a book because she wants unlimited knitting yarn or thinks that a cartoon character will get the axe if she doesn't? Of course not! But changing the cover of that book has removed the mental obstacle and made opening that first page more palatable.
For more on the tricks we play on ourselves to make better financial decisions, try reading some of these:
JD at Get Rich Slowly says:
"Money is more about mind than it is about math.
When we overspend, we're making mental mistakes, not math mistakes. We all understand the math. Fortunately, we can do things to trick ourselves into making the right choices, and eventually those choices will become second nature. Further reading: Why smart people make big money mistakes (and how to correct them)."
In another entry, JD shares:
"Ralph sent me e-mail last week describing a clever budget trick he picked up from a friend: Go see what it is!!"
My Daily Dollars says:
"Set Serious Consequences
To track your money carefully, you need to have consequences. I never watched what I spent on the credit card because it wasn't that painful if I went over the limit. Somehow, in my brain, an overlimit fee isn't too bad, but running out of money in my checking account is scary. Here's where I trick myself. By transferring all extra money out of that account, what's left is the bare amount for the month (I do give myself a $10 buffer).Knowing that if I don't track something, I'll screw up my checking account helps me stay focused!"
Can I Get Rich on A Salary says:
"How We Try To Control Our Expenses Without Much Of A Budget
We do, however, practice the art of self-deception in our personal finance. That means we trick ourselves into thinking that we make and have less money than we do."
Uncommon Cents shares:
"Spending: it's Behavior and Emotion
If you're going to make a significant change to your behavior, you need a plan and the discipline to follow it, and every little trick or hack that can help you get your spending better managed is worth investigating."

Tami Hansbrough: Resignation Should Rightfully End ScandalSeptember 13, 2012
Tami Hansbrough made the right choice in resigning from her position as a university fundraiser at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Now, any opportunity for her ridiculous behavior to negatively influence the reputations of her sons will be thwarted. Hopefully.
Last weekend, according to The News & Observer's Dan Kane, an internal investigation at UNC revealed that Hansbrough and chief fundraiser Matt Kupec—a former star quarterback for the Tar Heels—had "taken personal trips at the university's expense," as confirmed by Chancellor Holden Thorp.
There is one key reason that this story has become a scandal over the last few days: Hansbrough is the mother of former UNC All-American and current Indiana Pacer Tyler, as well as former Notre Dame point guard Ben.
According to Kane, Hansbrough and Kupec used university funds to travel to attend Ben's games. Hansbrough had reportedly engaged in similar behavior when Tyler was a student at UNC, according to ESPN.com's Robbi Pickeral, but that was acceptable because Hansbrough conducted fundraising activity for UNC during such trips.
Some of you may be thinking, Why should we care about this? It's just another university administrator (or two) doing something stupid and getting caught. And now that they have both since resigned, it's over.
But we do care about this because this woman's son is one of the greatest gifts to Tar Heels basketball ever. Because of that fact, the world is obligated to care.
And because of that fact, Hansbrough had no choice but to resign and end this storyline as soon as possible.
She clearly should have resigned anyway, whether she was Tyler Hansbrough's mother or not. Her behavior was not only stupid, it was illegal. You don't travel for personal pleasure on your employer's dime; that's a rule.
Why Hansbrough and Kupec thought they were above that rule remains to be seen, but in light of the investigation, they have no business continuing their careers at UNC.
It's not fair that Tyler Hansbrough has to deal with this mess, and it's not fair that it reflects poorly on him. It shouldn't, but the reality is that the connection has now been made, and it can't be un-made. He shouldn't have to pay for his mother's mistakes. It shouldn't be the case that whenever his name comes up, so too does this scandal.
In order to rectify this, the only option was for Tami Hansbrough to resign ASAP and hope that the story faded out along with her career at UNC. And in that sense, she did the right thing.
Now, the hope is that we can just pretend this never happened and go back to remembering Tyler Hansbrough's legacy at UNC for what it was.

Accounting glitch may force SunPower to restate
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCOSolar panel provider SunPower Corp. might restate financial results from 2009 and 2008 after the discovery of possible accounting irregularities, the company said Monday (Nov. 16).
SunPower (San Jose, Calif.) said an internal review of its Philippine manufacturing operations concluded that there may have been unsubstantiated accounting entries made in the first three quarters of 2009. Some of these entries relate to the company's fiscal 2008, the company said.
SunPower may have overstated expenses in the cost of goods sold by approximately $1 million in the first quarter of 2009, the company said. It may have understated expenses by $14 million and $2 million in the second and third quarters, respectively, the company said.
The company is working with outside autiors and other experts to determine if any restatements are necessary, SunPower said.
An investigation into these errors launched by the board of directors is ongoing, SunPower said. Until the investigation is complete there can be no assurance that broader issues do not exist, the company said.

|This is that crack left of Doug's Roof isn't it, up the hill a little? There are a few lines here, used to be some bolts on the slabs. Needs a cleaning, but I remember 5 or so lines I'd do to make the roof trek worth it. Might have been in the "Boston Rolls" book with a different name and grade.

|Yes, there are probably close to a dozen climbs at 'Down Under' that are currently being cleaned. Really amazing variations on the "first pitch" and great crack and slab lines on the "second pitch". No bolts though, the only ones there are NOT user friendly.

|Hey Chris, good to see someone is active with their scrubby reclaiming some nice Cape Ann granite. Would like to meet up and put some work in myself. Have lots of free time, so let me know...,.

|Chris and I have spent some time down there trying to reclaim some new climbing in the Cape Ann scene, ...so much cleaning left to do so grab a brush and clean a new line.
By mnatti
Dec 16, 2011
|"New line" is always up for debate with the likes of Herb Stillman running around. I'm pretty sure the man has climbed every piece of granite in Cape Ann (barefoot, with no rope and no cleaning!). If nothing else, he knows someone who HAS climbed it. That being said... get out and scrub. Name lines (be willing to change them IF they already have a name), and let's keep the Cape Ann renaissance alive! I'll be showing up Down Under with some TR anchors sooner than later.
By Corey Baker
Dec 16, 2011
|This is a true statment, but it's new climbing for a lot of us and it is fun to open it back up for all. And yes some TR anchors would be ideal. Don't exactly trust the few aged looking bolts there now. Let Chris and I know when you are heading out, you know where to find us.
By mnatti
Dec 28, 2011
|Okay... so Herb says this line is called "Splitter." Ball's of Confusion is the wide crack just right of "No Pro" (which you got the name right on). I'm going to try to get Herb down there for a full walk around in the next few days. I'll need a tape recorder for sure!

|A nice line with great jams and moderate for the grade...like most of the routes here, you wish it lasted longer.
By jim.dangle
Sep 27, 2014
The transition in the upper crack protects well with microcams.
Hard route to grade, because there is really only a short tricky section and the rest is straightforward.

Twins spank Royals
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson allowed one run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings, helping the Twins to a 10-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday.
Gibson struck out three and walked four, improving to 2-0 this season. He became the first Twins starter to pitch into the seventh inning in 10 games this season. He lowered his ERA to 1.59, more than four runs lower than the next best starter.
Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe finished the night 3-for-4 with an RBI, a walk and two runs scored. It was Plouffe's fourth multi-hit game this season and second three-hit game. He's hitting .375.
After being swept in their home-opening series by the Oakland Athletics, the Twins jumped on the Royals to take a 7-1 lead after five innings.
Gibson yielded a run in the top of the first on two hits and an RBI groundup by designated hitter Billy Butler.
Minnesota scored two in the bottom of the first, stringing together three straight two-out hits. Plouffe doubled and scored on right fielder Chris Colabello's single up the middle. Left fielder Jason Kubel followed with a triple off the wall in right to give Minnesota a 2-1 lead.
The Twins tacked on five runs in the fourth on a solo home run by designated hitter Josmil Pinto, an RBI single by first baseman Joe Mauer, a wild pitch and a two-run double by Colabello into the left field corner.
Royals starter Bruce Chen was charged with six runs in 3 2/3 innings. He gave up seven hits and two walks while striking out three.
Minnesota scored two more runs in the seventh on an RBI double by catcher Kurt Suzuki to the left-center field gap.
Notes: Twins manager Ron Gardenhire will miss the next two games to attend the funeral of Michael Hirschbeck, the son of longtime major league umpire John Hirschbeck. Bench coach Terry Steinbach will manage the team in his absence. ... The Royals announced the signing of RHP Kameron Loe to a minor-league contract. Loe spent time with the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners last season. ... The Twins are expected to place OF Josh Willingham (bruised left hand/wrist) on the 15-day disabled list before Saturday's game. The club is expected to call up RHP Michael Tonkin from Triple-A Rochester.

QUEBEC – Conservative leader Stephen Harper says that if the NDP takes control of the federal government, it will send a message "overnight" to foreign investors not to invest in Canada.
Harper made the comment Thusday, in an interview with Postmedia News and the National Post on board his campaign plane.
He said that in recent days, it has become clear that Jack Layton's NDP has emerged as the "voice" of the three opposition parties. In the wake of the May 2 election, if the NDP forms a coalition government, he said the result will be policies that lead to

Anesthesiologists are integral to the well-being of patients undergoing surgery, but as one of them points out to author David Zweig in Invisibles: The Power of Anonymous Work in an Age of Relentless Self-Promotion, they're not the doctors who typically receive the fruit baskets. Zweig's enjoyable nonfiction debut (he is also the author of a novel, Swimming Inside the Sun) expands on his 2012 Atlantic Monthly article "What Do Fact-Checkers and Anesthesiologists Have in Common?" The article was subtitled "Understanding why some people choose professions where accomplishments go unheralded." In the case of anesthesiologists, you might assume the choice has something to do with salary, whereas I can say from experience that's generally not the motivating force for fact-checkers.
Zweig, a onetime fact-checker himself, includes several admiring references to Susan Cain's recent book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. Invisibility, quiet: neither has much cachet in a wired culture that keeps inventing new ways for us to call attention to ourselves. Like Cain, Zweig seeks to restore balance, in his case by advocating for what he sees as an undervalued type of professional who finds satisfaction in hard work and responsibility rather than in recognition.
The book is made up of absorbing profiles of a number of Zweig's Invisibles: a piano tuner for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, an interpreter at the United Nations, a guitar tech for Radiohead, an Oscar-winning cinematographer, a structural engineer who's worked on some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. All of them, Zweig says, are "critical to whatever enterprise they are a part of" yet are "only thought of if something goes wrong." (On that note, I imagine that as a musician and former fact-checker, Zweig must have been pained to realize that he had misspelled Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's name, written as "Curt" here, and that the error had made it into the final edition.)
Zweig, a genial narrator, was clearly awed by those he met, and he wants their stories to be "uplifting." "I hope for this book to not only offer inspiration, but to help open your eyes, as it has done for me, to the unseen expertise and passion that buttresses all that we do see," he writes. On this score he's successful. His research sends him to China, where he tours the construction site of the Shanghai Tower, which will be the world's second-tallest building, with lead structural engineer Dennis Poon, and to Germany, where he shadows guitar tech Pete "Plank" Clements as he manages the musical gear for Radiohead before, during, and after a massive arena show. Zweig squeezes into a soundproof booth with Giulia Wilkins Ary at the UN as she translates a diplomat's speech from English into French "while at the same time continuing to listen to and interpret the next lines of the original language," he writes in italics, underscoring how impressive this feat, known as simultaneous interpretation, is.
I was most moved by the chapter on PSO piano tuner Peter Stumpf. The author spent days with Stumpf as he prepared the symphony's majestic Steinway Concert Grand Model D for a concerto to be played by visiting Russian pianist Denis Matsuev. "When people hear a live symphony and they praise the sound, they think of the musicians, and perhaps the acoustics of the hall," not the behind-the-scenes experts like the piano tuner, Zweig observes. Yet Stumpf derives an enviable amount of fulfillment from his job. "When I am in the audience and I hear Emanuel Ax," he tells Zweig, describing a concerto featuring another renowned pianist, "I genuinely feel like we're doing a duet — it's my piano and the artist…and I don't mind him alone getting the praise because [the audience is] thrilled with what he's been able to do with my piano."
Despite the book's pleasures, Zweig's efforts to make a larger cultural statement don't quite come together for me. In making a case for the book's significance, he writes of his subjects, whom he distinguishes from those with "thankless, mundane jobs": "What's remarkable is that, despite generally having had the means to pursue other careers, Invisibles have chosen, or fallen into and then decided to stay in, careers that accord them no outward recognition from the end user. This is defiantly in opposition to the accolades, or even just pats on the back, most of us so desire." Even ignoring for a moment cinematographer Robert Elswit's Oscar — quite a pat on the back — we're told that Zweig's Invisibles "are all elite members of their fields and often well remunerated." The one thing they don't have is fame, but is it really so surprising that not everyone wants to be famous? (According to Susan Cain, at least one-third of Americans are introverts.) Having a deep sense of purpose, being well compensated, and enjoying the respect of one's colleagues? I'll have what they're having!

Taking a step back, there are several types of HW-induced corruption, and checksums only catch some of them. For instance, the disk losing data completely and just returning zeros won't be caught, because we assume that a zero page is just fine. From a development standpoint, I think a better approach would be: 1. Investigate if there are reasonable ways to ensure that (outside of recovery) pages are always initialized; and therefore zero pages can be treated as corruption. 2. Make some room in the page header for checksums and maybe some other simple sanity information (like file and page number). It will be a big project to sort out the pg_upgrade issues (as Tom and others have pointed out). 3. Attack hint bits problem. If (1) and (2) were complete, we would catch many common types of corruption, and we'd be in a much better position to think clearly about hint bits, double writes, etc. Regards, Jeff Davis

Luanda, Jan 30 (IANS) Angola's Reserve Bank has launched a new family of banknotes and coins.
The new coins of 50 cent, 1, 5 and 10 Kwanzas went into circulation with effect from Jan 18 and the currency notes of denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 5,000 Kwanzas (100 Kwanzas equals $1) will be gradually introduced into the market from March to June, BNA Governor Jose de Lima Massano said at the launching ceremony.
The governor ruled out the possibility that the circulation of the 5,000 Kwanza bank note would cause inflation in the internal market as it would not increase the financial value of the money in possession of the public, reported Xinhua.
The new bank notes to be introduced into the market will be equal to those to be withdrawn by the BNA and so the new bank notes would have no influence on the credit balance of the monetary basis or of the payment means, says Jose de Lima Massano.
The decision to issue a new series was approved on June 26, 2012, by the National Assembly (parliament).

Judson Phillips of the Tea Party Nation endorsed U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais in the Republican primary for the 4th Congressional District of Tennessee.
Phillips noted that the National Journal called DesJarlais, a South Pittsburg physician seeking his third term, the fourth-most conservative member of the U.S. House. He called primary challenger Jim Tracy, a state senator from Shelbyville, an "establishment Republican" who "belongs to the Lamar Alexander wing of the Republican Party."
Tommy Crangle, Republican candidate for Tennessee House District 27, said state residents need to "make some decisions about how best to defend the security of our state and our citizens."
He referred to the high numbers of Central American children flooding across the nation's southern border and said it's the "primary reason" he is running for the state House.
"I am interested in protecting the citizens of Tennessee against a Federal government that seems intent on destroying the America that hardworking people love. This is particularly important for Tennessee since we have been forced to accept thousands of refugees under the U.N. Refugee Resettlement Program. These refugees have placed an incredible strain on Tennessee's social safety net and created additional burdens for taxpayers. I intend to join other legislators to push back on this program," said Crangle, a professional engineer and former TVA executive.

You Said It, June 24, 2012
A toddler is beaten to death and someone is outraged about the balloons being released? Compare this with an animal that is dragged to death when people lined the streets in protest. Let's get our priorities straight: People first, animals second, and then latex balloons.
Research has shown it takes about six months for a balloon to biodegrade, about the same amount of time as an oak leaf. Horrors! Let's get working on all those leaves.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier for the city to buy the old houses to the east or west of Whitman Park, raze the houses and make a big parking lot? The parks cannot be used because there is no parking. If the city has too much money, maybe they should lower the sales tax.
Kudos to the caretakers of the Crown Point Cemetery. It looks fantastic, and now, or soon will be, as beautiful as Orchard Mesa or New Elmwood.
Duh, in watching a woman ahead of me not using any turn signals at all, it finally hit me why very few people use turn signals anymore. The right hand is for steering and the left hand is for the cellphone. In six turns, she did not signal once.
Here we go again, another idiot who doesn't have a clue about motorcycle riders. We don't wear black leather because we think it's cool. It's for protection when we end up laying our bike down because you didn't see us. It wouldn't matter if we wore neon green leather; you still wouldn't see us. Get your Big Gulp Mocha Latte out of your face, pull your cellphone out of your ear and pay attention.
We should all be hugging the fishermen, hunters, dirt bike riders and ATV riders because these people all pay for the free trails for hikers, bicycle riders and horseback riders.
Why is the city going to repave Patterson from First Street west when we have been running in ruts on Patterson from 28 1/4 west for more than a year?
During a recent trip to the Natural Grocers store, I lost my wallet. Thank you very much to the angel who found it and gave it to store personnel.
Raise your hand if you are sick of our city officials advertising to get even more people to move to our once-beautiful town.
Looking back at all the great entertainment that we have enjoyed at the Avalon Theatre since Mr. LaFountain became general manager, I was saddened by the recent Daily Sentinel article regarding this very talented young man who has done an outstanding job.
I see too much political bitterness in our country and our valley. Abraham Lincoln said it best: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as sure they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
I appreciate our public employees, but I'd like them to step up to a reality. There are plenty of highly talented, highly trained, unemployed private sector employees. When discussing raises for public employees, why doesn't any city or county elected official recommend public jobs be put up for bid? If the current public employees can't outbid the equally talented former private employee, so be it.
The weekend edition of USA today reported that Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta and several other cities have followed in the footsteps of 50-plus cities around the country in passing anti-camping and anti-food sharing laws for the homeless. So we will continue to experience an influx of homeless who are aware that Grand Junction is welcoming them?
To the girls who stole our shoes from the Lincoln Pool on Thursday: May your karma be as hot and angry as the asphalt you forced us to walk on that day.
I would like to thank the person who found and returned my purse last Sunday at Walmart. I appreciate it so much.
