I have installed arch linux as per ur instructions till point number 17 in virtualbox as guest on windows XP as host.
Now when I reboot my arch, it shows blank screen and nothing happens after initial steps as I have enabled gdm using systemctl enable command.
Now I am unable to see basic command line interface.
Also I saw output of grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log command, it is blank it shows nothing.
Also I saw output of grep WW /var/log/Xorg.0.log command, it is blank it shows nothing.
I think it is unable to start xorg server.
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance.
point number 17?
The Official Installation Guide don't have a point 17.
The Beginners' Guide neither.
What instructions you did follow? can you provide the link to the wiki article?
"open source is about choice"
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.
Sorry for that
I followed this article and Begginers Manual as well
Thanks for ur prompt reply.
How to go basic command line interface , please tell me. The screen goes blank and nothing happens.
edit the boot loader kernel paramaters, add systemd.unit=multi-user.target
But I am new to arch, can u tell me step by step procedure
I am using syslinux as bootloader
Append it to the APPEND line in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
I'd say appending that wouldn't help. What happens when you run "startx"?

lucke, he can't boot the system, that's no good.
hermant, the bootloader menu tells you to hit a key to edit the kernel command line. Just add what I said to the end and it should boot to the CLI.
hemant, general advice - we don't do step-by-step here. Read some more about Arch, make sure it's the right distro for you.
If you still want to install it, forget about random blog posts and use the official install guide or the beginners guide, as linked above. Read them first from start to finish, make sure you understand what you're doing.
Thanks a lot Scimmia !!
It really worked.
Now I am able to see CLI.
I logged in and run startx command. After some initializations it shows blank screen.
Also output of grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log and grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log is nothing
i am unable to figure out problem.
Also I am currently logged in as root and when i tried to remove file rm ~/.xinitrc, it gives no such file found error.
Try disabling vboxvideo in /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf .
Right now it's affected by a bug.
i tried removing vboxvideo in /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf .
but didnot worked
please suggest me hint
You have already been given a hint: follow the beginners guide. This includes step by step informtation on how to ensure X is set up and running before you install a DE.
Once users are pretty confident with installing arch we may skip some of those steps (installing and testing twm). But if you are new to arch, you shouldn't skip steps. And even the most experienced users, when they face such a problem, should go back and do every one of those steps.
From your posts I already see at least three important points that you have skipped, and I suspect also a fourth. These will be easily found if you follow the instructions that people who know what they were doing spent a good amount of time crafting.
EDIT: If you still run into problems after following the beginners guide, by all means stop back in here. But when it is blatantly clear that you have ignored all the good advice that has already been laid out in the wiki, why would anyone want to give you more good advice to be ignored.

Do u think that u r / R u moderator / Owner of ARCH Linux ???
Don't post post such thing.
I have already told I am new to ARCH rather linux still I want to learn/use/build my own customized desktop using arch. I am trying
to learn Arch Linux. Why r u posting such discouraging post. If u don't know the answer then ignore it.
I have already read Installation guide and followed different posts on community.But nowhere I found solution of my problem.
@ To all
I logged in and run startx command. After some initializations it shows blank screen and nothing happens, no GUI.
Also output of grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log and grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log is nothing
i am unable to figure out problem.
Also I am currently logged in as root and when i tried to remove file rm ~/.xinitrc, it gives no such file found error.
I am experiencing the same problem, this is my 5th or so install of Arch. In fact one last month went flawlessly. This time there is a problem with startx.
Initially I missed out the step in the beginners guide for testing x and went straight to installing xfce. XFCE does not load and I am left with a blank screen and nothing to do but reboot. I have gone back a few steps to testing x and that seems to work as expected, a couple of terminals and a clock. Following the instructions in the unofficial beginners guide I type exit into the terminals on the last one the screen blanks and does not return to a text page, once again the only option is hard reset.
Log files are empty of xorg messages and .xinitrc does not exist yet. Until the vanilla xwindows works there is no point in chasing the xfce install, or so I think.
Is there any other information I can provide?
Run 'startx' if you got no ~/.xinitrc? So hardcore! But no, not really. Read the Xfce wiki page, from the top, twice.
I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
Well the beginners guide does say to run startx without an .xinitrc file, it even suggests removing the .xinitrc file if it is there.
I have read the xfce page several dozen times, it states early on that startx must be installed and configured correctly first, which is logical. I think there is something wrong with startx as it causes the system to hang when trying to close it.
Running startxfce4 from the cli or creating .xinitrc file with the start command in it does not work as expected, it switches to a blank screen and system hangs totally, no option other than a hard reset.
weedfreak, can you create a ~/.xinitrc with just the following line
Then run xinit (not startx), and see if that will exit as expected after you close the xterm.
@hemant2007, I'm sorry if you found my post offensive - I don't see why. I was giving you the advice you'd need to solve your problem. Your unwillingness to accept it is not my concern. You may notice that weedfreak clearly followed the beginners guide and posted the results of the twm test run. Those test results (and those that will come from my suggested follow up test) will greatly help narrow down the problem. So by contributing this, weedfreak has not only done something productive to solve his/her own problem, but has also contributed to the community by being a cooperating participant in the problem solving process. As a result of this, weedfreak's test results may help solve *your* problem, and may even track down an issue that could affect other users.
Do I "own" this community, and am I a moderator - certainly not. But I am a member of this community, and any community must be maintained by its members. If you wish to be a productive/contributing member, learn to provide information as weedfreak has done. And at the risk of getting "reported", if you don't want to be a productive member of this community, then **** ***
[edited and self sensored. This post is worth keeping around and the previous content would have had it removed ... but you can fill in the blank.]

"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
There might be a clue here.
Running xterm as root brings up a long message about running it as root or sudo is not the best option then there is a failure message
cant open display %s
DISPLAY is not set.
Running as user just gives the same error message.
Running xinit, with or without an .xinitrc still locks the system.
Just to be clear, if you run as regular user (don't start X as root), and have "xterm" in ~/.xinitrc, it brings up the xterm and only freezes after you type 'exit' into that xterm, right?
"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
Sorry about this, reading is getting to be a problem after 2 days trying to solve this.
I am now doing what you originally asked. Running as a user with xterm in .xinitrc brings up the xterm and only freezes after I type 'exit' into that xterm.
I had misread your original post and typed xterm on the cli to create .xinitrc, which gave the display error messages, obviously not thinking straight.
Good news is that does rule out the problem being in the systemwide default xinitrc. Bad news is that I was hoping that was what it was as that'd be an easier fix.
Next step: Try the same thing, but when it does freeze, can you switch to TTY1 (or whichever tty you ran xinit from) by hitting Ctl-Alt-F1. If you can, you should see output from X there, hopefully with some error message.
"UNIX is simple and coherent..." - Dennis Ritchie, "GNU's Not UNIX" - Richard Stallman
Sorry to say once it freezes it is totally unresponsive, I cannot get back to TTY1 and any error messages.
@ Tribly

Don't post post such thing.
Well, I am a Moderator/Admin and I find your post to be offensive and disrespectful. Arch is not for people who need "step-by-step" instructions as advised to you by tomk as well.
Read the relevant wiki entries and come back with specific problems.
weedfreak, you are hijacking this thread. Please start a separate thread for your problems.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Dante returns to full Bayern training
Bayern Munich defender Dante returned to full training on Wednesday after recovering from an ankle injury.
The 30-year-old saw his run of previously appearing in every fixture this season ended when he was forced off after 43 minutes against Mainz earlier this month after taking a nasty knock to his left foot.
The Brazilian has missed a Bundesliga clash against Hertha Berlin and a UEFA Champions League match with Viktoria Plzen during his recovery, both of which Bayern won.
But after resuming full training on Wednesday, Dante could be considered for selection against Hoffenheim on Saturday, a game that could also feature Arjen Robben and Toni Kroos, despite the pair being substituted early in the first half against Hertha with groin injuries.
On his recovery, Robben told the club's official website: "It's getting better day by day.
"But we will not take any risks."

As the Maldives Gains Tourists, It's Losing Its Beaches
The Maldives government hopes a new "green tax" on the booming tourism industry may help save the country's disappearing beaches.
Earth's average temperature has risen approximately one degree Fahrenheit in the last fifty years. By the end of this century, it will be several degrees higher, according to the latest climate research.
But global warming is doing more than simply making things a little warmer. It's changing rainfall, causing heat waves, and making sea level rise, all of which create human suffering.
Climate Change brings together reporting from Pulitzer Center grantees on the abilities of communities in diverse regions to bounce back and adapt to impacts of climate change: One highlight includes in-depth reporting on global warming in France, southern Africa, Bangladesh, and India, produced by Daniel Grossman in partnership with WBUR.
Our journalists investigate climate change in the Arctic—the effects on indigenous communities, the destruction of the fragile natural environment, and the conflict between humans and polar bears. One interactive, award-winning multimedia project, "Sea Change," looks at ocean acidification, its impact on fishing, people's livelihoods, and food security. The documentary "Easy Like Water" features a solar-powered school boat in Bangladesh, where flooding may create 20 million "climate refugees" by mid-century.
Other topics covered here range from the future of the residents of Kiribati, a low-lying island nation in the Pacific, to the biological diversity of the rainforest in Peru, and the psychological effects of climate change on the inhabitants of Australia and Fiji.

Blues' Pietrangelo to have minor lower-body surgeryby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo will have a minor surgical procedure and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.
Blues general manager Doug Armstrong confirmed Tuesday that Pietrangelo will have minor surgery on a lower-body issue.
Pietrangelo did suffer a sprained knee in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Kings when he was shoved awkwardly into the boards. He missed Game 2 before returning to play in Games 3 and 4 of a series the Kings won in a four-game sweep.
Pietrangelo said at the team's exit meetings in May and again last month there was no need for any surgical procedure on the knee, so it is possible it will be done on another area.
Pietrangelo is not expected to miss any time when training camp opens Sept. 21.
The 22-year-old, who played 81 games last season and posted career highs in goals (12), assists (39) and points (51), skated voluntarily last month at the Blues' training facility at St. Louis Mills. He finished fourth n voting for the Norris Trophy.

US experts say they have strong scientific proof that mind over matter works for relieving pain.
Positive thinking was as powerful as a shot of morphine for relieving pain and reduced activity in parts of the brain that process pain information.
The Wake Forest University researchers say their findings show that by merely expecting pain to be less it will be less.
[ BBC News, Sept 5 2005 ]
My friend Watson suffers from painful bouts of migraine on a periodic basis. He has to have some kind of medication with him always, or else, its usually hell when he gets his migraine attacks. On a recent trip from Baguio City to Manila which he blogged about, he was caught off-guard with no medicine on hand, and simply had to sleep it off.
Now this news about the power of positive thinking as pain reliever might help Watson and thousand others who have regular episodes of pain attacks.
In the study, when the researchers classified the pain stimulus being given as moderate --- when in fact, it was severe --- the subjects thought it was moderate, and reported less pain felt. The brain indeed is a powerful influence peddler.
This might also be the reason why we Filipinos remain happy in spite of what's happening to us. In spite of the rising fuel prices, in spite of the daily traffic, in spite of the air pollution, in spite of the corruption, in spite of all other bad things, we remain happy.
In fact, among neighboring Asian countries, we are 93 percent happier! We are better off than Japan and Taiwan, which are just 90 and 89 percent happy, respectively. The World Health Organization (WHO) statistics for suicide even ranks the Philippines as the lowest in Asia. Read more about us Happy Filipinos.
Leslie Caron, a French film actress I like, once asked: "In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness --- otherwise how would you know when you're happy?"
How true.

Back to Main Page / Back to List of Rules
Rule 239. Judgment by Default (2012)
Upon such call of the docket, or at any time after a defendant is required to answer, the plaintiff may in term time take judgment by default against such defendant if he has not previously filed an answer, and provided that the return of service shall have been on file with the clerk for the length of time required by Rule 107.
Amended by order of Dec. 12, 2011, eff. Jan. 1, 2012.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|April 12, 1962, eff. Sept. 1, 1962
Question: Notwithstanding Rule 101 requiring answer at or before ten o'clock a. m. of the Monday next after the expiration of twenty days from the date of service, may a defendant, in case such time of answering falls in vacation, postpone his answer until the following term, without risk of default judgment by reason of such late filing, provided the answer is filed promptly at the opening of the term?
Answer: We think so. Under Rule 239 judgment by default can only be entered in term time. Under Rule 237 appearance day as to a defendant who is required to answer on a day in vacation is the first day of the next term. Under Rule 238 the docket is called for default on such appearance day, at ten o'clock a. m., or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, and under the cited rules default judgment can only be taken where there is no answer on file at the time of the call of such docket, whether such call be at such proper time or at a later time that is not in vacation. Note, however, that the second paragraph of Rule 237 provides for vacation procedure in instances of removal to federal court.
This construction of the rules is aided by the past decisions upon the subject, that, notwithstanding a defendant, even in term time, fails to file his answer by the time for default judgment, such judgment cannot be taken against him, if he files an answer before the default is actually taken. See Moore v. Janes, 6 Tex. 227 (1851); Ellett v. Britton, 6 Tex. 229 (1851); Hurlock v. Reinhardt, 41 Tex. 580 (1874); World Co. v. Dow, 116 Tex. 146 (1926).
5 Tex. B.J. 95 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 8 (1945).
(No. 124) Question: Vernon's Ann. Civ. Stat., Article 200a, Sec. 6, provides that it shall be the duty of a district judge to extend the regular terms of his court to dispose of pending litigation. Now if a civil case is on file during the regular term, but service is not completed during the regular term, and the term is extended to dispose of pending litigation and service is completed within the term as so extended, is this case subject to being called for trial during the extended term in view of Rule 237 defining appearance day and Vernon's Ann. Civ. Stat., Article 1920 providing that no new civil case can be brought to a special term of the district court?
Answer: The case, in our opinion, may be called for trial and disposed of during the extended term.
The question correctly states the pertinent warding of Articles 200a and 1920. The governing intention of Article 200a, as well as that of the Administrative Judicial Districts Act of which it is a part, is to dispose of pending business and the words "pending litigation" as used in the article fairly have that meaning. The Supreme Court used the phrases as though synonymous in Hamilton v. Empire Gas & Fuel Co., 134 Tex. 377, 110 S. W.2d 561 (1937), and the Court of Civil Appeals, in Morse v. Hoover, 105 S.W.2d 682 (Tex. Civ. App.-Amarillo 1937), assumed that a contest of a plea of privilege, as yet immature because of want of service, was within the statute. So that a case which has been filed during a regular term is in our opinion "pending litigation," although service has not yet been perfected in it.
Looking to the rules, one finds from Rule 101 that in a personal action such as is involved in the question, a defendant is required to answer on the first Monday after the expiration of twenty days from the date of service; from Rule 237 that if this day is "in term time, such day is appearance day as to him" but if it is "in vacation, he shall plead or answer accordingly, and the first day of the next term is appearance day as to him;" from Rule 238 that on appearance day of a particular defendant "and at the hour named in the citation, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable," the case shall be called by the court, etc., or on the request of plaintiff's attorney; and from Rule 239 that "upon such call of the docket, or at any time after a defendant is required to answer, the plaintiff may in term time take judgment by default against such defendant if he has not previously filed his answer."
While strictly viewed, these rules only force defendant to trial or default, in the instant situation, at the next regular term, liberally interpreted in the light of Rule 1 and of the purpose of the act at hand, they are saying this: the defendant must file answer within the time mentioned in his citation whether the last day falls in vacation or in term time. If it falls in vacation default can only be taken at the next term because the court can only give a judgment in term time. If, when it arrives, there is a term, the defendant may be compelled to submit to trial if he has an answer on file, or otherwise to default.
This liberal interpretation seems to be the correct one to apply.
We think that, the prohibition of "new civil cases" in the statute about special terms is not applicable here because that is a different sort of a term. Yet even new civil cases are there triable in instances of appearance (Browder v. Memphis Indep. Sch. Dist., 107 Tex. 535, 180 S.W. 1077 (1915)) and would be triable by compulsion, as criminal cases are, except for restrictive wording in the statute.
No such restriction appears in the statute for extended terms.
It should be added, though the question does not involve the situation, that the Browder case above cited would be sufficient authority for defendant's forcing a trial or submitting to a trial by appearance or otherwise at a term of court which, as in the instance of the present extended term, allows the disposition of pending litigation.

Introduction, Design, User Interface
This summer is shaping up to be an amazing time to buy a gaming laptop. Intel has launched its Ivy Bridge processors, bringing faster performance to the entire range without increasing power consumption. Nvidia's new Kepler based parts, although technically launched a couple months ago, are only now widely available.
We've already looked at many low-end solutions including Trinity, HD 4000 and the Kepler-based Nvidia GT 640M. We've also looked at one high-end gaming solution in the form of the ASUS G75V.
Today we're reviewing the Origin EON17-S, an obvious competitor to the G75V. It's packing an Nvidia GTX 675M. An Intel Core i7-3920XM joins the party as well. Clearly, this laptop is meant to provide maximum performance - as the other specifications make clear.
Though it has gobs of high-performance hardware our review unit did not arrive with an internal optical drive (it did come with an external Blu-Ray). The drive had been removed and a 1TB hard drive installed in its place. This is a clever bit of packaging that makes a lot of sense and isn't offered by Alienware, Maingear or ASUS. While I know some gamers do still use optical drives, I personally can't remember the last time one was required for install.
Our review unit tallies up at about $3500 bucks, which is expensive but not outrageous. Spending much more is difficult and requires that you either pony up for every frivolous option available or buy Nvidia Quadro graphics cards instead of the consumer-market GTX. Or you can put the price in reverse by downgrading to a Core i7-3610QM, which saves you over $1000.

If you can't be happy with the cattle market now, then you just can't be happy, says Mississippi Extension Economist John Anderson.
A positive supply side situation and excellent demand for beef should continue to bring good prices for cattle producers, Anderson told his fellow economists at the 2003 Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta.
After surviving a year of depressed market prices, cattle producers saw a recovery develop in early 2003 and by late summer record-setting prices were appearing up and down the cattle market.
"The feeder cattle market has been fantastic. We hit $82 for fed cattle in early February, and I didn't think it could get any better than that. Now that's just pitiful, and I pity the folks who had to sell their cattle at $82," Anderson says. "The breaching of the $90 barrier the week of Sept. 8 must certainly be considered a significant milestone. The fact that this milestone was reached in early September was significant in itself. Fed cattle market highs do not often come in the summer when supplies are typically at or near their peak."
The same week that fed cattle were selling for $90 per hundredweight, feed cattle in the 700- to 750-pound weight category sold for an average price of $103.91 per hundredweight. That's quite a change for one year earlier when cattle feeders were losing money at what Anderson calls "a prodigious rate."
"The old adage that nothing cures low prices like low prices proved to be true in the cattle market in 2003," says Anderson. "A string of unfortunate events in 2002 — a foot and mouth disease scare in Kansas, a ban on U.S. poultry imports by Russia, unexpectedly large hog numbers — conspired to keep cattle feeders wallowing in red ink for most of the year. But beginning in June of that year, placements of cattle into feedlots began to fall significantly below the five-year average."
As marketable supplies decreased, fed cattle prices began to improve and were challenging the $80 per hundredweight mark by early 2003. These higher cash prices encouraged feeders to market cattle more aggressively, which cleaned up market-ready supplies of cattle and led to a decline in fed cattle weights, contributing to a reduction in total beef production.
Then in May 2003, a single case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was discovered in Alberta, Canada. "Overnight, we shut the border on everything coming in from Canada, and that has obviously affected our supply situation," Anderson says. "Beef exports are also up due to the Canadian loss of markets due to BSE. Our neighbor's loss was our gain, because much of the export market that they lost overnight, we picked up."
How long imports of live animals from Canada will remain restricted is uncertain, he says. It's also not clear how many animals will be ready to come down from Canada when the ban is lifted, because cattle placements into Canadian feedlots have slowed significantly.
According to Anderson, there continue to be exceptional prices at all levels of the U.S. cattle industry amid a short supply situation and strong demand for beef. What's more, he sees tight supplies continuing through the fourth quarter of 2003, which will be positive for prices.
"Calf prices are moving up, but this market is not as strong as the feeder market, and there is a lot of uncertainty about where we are going in this market," he says. "We do know that there are a lot of empty pens in feed lots, and while January-August beef production was down about 19 percent, the average boxed beef cutout value is up 17 percent. On a very marginal decrease in production, we've had a significant run-up of prices."
Anderson says fundamentals in the cattle market look exceptionally strong, and could be even strong next spring.
Continued price strength will depend on continued strong demand and general economic climate. "This situation will not change overnight, but it can change quicker than people want to think it can. There's still a lot of uncertainty out there with what's going on in Canada with BSE, the war in Iraq, and terrorism," Anderson says. "Cattle prices could be higher, but they sure are a whole lot better than they have been. With prices now in uncharted territory, traders are likely unsure of where things may go from here."

That Sandy Alderson is continuing the search for a new manager in the aftermath of his father's death shows true leadership and commitment; it shows the taking of responsibility. I have a feeling whomever he chooses will be a sound choice, one who is probably every bit the leader Alderson is proving to be.
I've read with great interest about the lack of discipline in the Mets' clubhouse and the need for an iron hand. This is another point in Terry Collins' favor.
If there was a lack of discipline, it stems from the previous administration. Both Jerry Manuel and Omar Minaya were passive and too easy going and the players knew what they could and couldn't get away with. Give a child an inch and he'll take a mile.
Never was this more evident than in the case of Oliver Perez, whose selfishness forced the Mets to go with 24 players. Minaya was supposedly tight with the Hispanic players, but had no influence in the Perez case. Manuel, it was clear, had already lost the clubhouse at the end and couldn't exert any authority, whether it be with Perez or anybody else for that matter.
To see Perez impose his will killed the clubhouse and the concept of team. But, too many other players had their own agendas long before Perez strangled the team.
It was obvious as the season faded that the Mets played with a lack of discipline. I don't know if you'd call it a sense of entitlement as you would playing without passion or a fundamentally sound base.
Part of discipline should come from within, but a strong willed manager is essential in the molding part of a team. With some teams, you know there's no questioning the authority of the manager. It's that way in Boston and Philadelphia and St. Louis. It hasn't been that way with the Mets.
When concentration wanders and at-bats are given away, both by the hitters and pitchers, a team looks lackluster and players fail to take accountability.
There's a right way and a wrong way to play the game, and too often the Mets played the wrong way. And, there's not a player not at fault.

Good to know
Environment space and environment variable limitations must be kept in mind. At http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds_shelloverview.mspx?mfr=true Microsoft says...
The maximum individual environment variable size is 8192bytes. The maximum total environment variable size for all variables, which includes variable names and the equal sign, is 65,536KB. But at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473 they also say...
Even though the Win32 limitation for environment variables is 32,767 characters, Command Prompt ignores any environment variables that are inherited from the parent process and are longer than its own limitations of either 2047 or 8191 characters (as appropriate to the operating system). For more information about the SetEnvironmentVariable function, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686206.aspx In order to find native libs required by python and its extension the location of these libs can be put into the PATH environment variable. If this is what SCons does, does it detect overflowing the process' environment space or the maximum size of the PATH environment variable? If it does not, at some point it will break, and worse, because everyone checks out to a different path, so that the resulting locations will vary in length, it will break down more or less at random.

Jon Gosselin was a no-show in a Rockville, Md. courtroom Thursday as a judge heard arguments in the celebrity dad's legal fight with the TLC network.
The network wants the judge to stop Gosselin from making media appearances that it says violate his contract as a star of the hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
Gosselin has filed a countersuit, claiming TLC violated Pennsylvania's child labor laws in filming the show about the Pennsylvania family with eight children. His lawyer Mark Heller says there's no reason for the network to stop him from earning a living as a media personality, especially now that the show has ended amid the Gosselins' pending divorce.
But TLC, which is owned by Silver Spring, Md.-based Discovery Communications, says the contract remains in force.
TLC Chief Operating Officer Edward Sabin testified earlier that Gosselin made unauthorized appearances and endorsements. In particular, he mentioned a pool party that Gosselin hosted at the MGM Grand Hotel in Los Vegas. Sabin said photos that appeared afterward were at odds with the wholesome image of the show, "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
The judge is expected to rule sometime Thursday evening.

Why is it that religionists accept the concept of heaven without thinking it through to its logical conclusions? To them, that is what this world is all about. Live your life within the guidelines of morality, as dictated by a book that could not be more irrelevant to the modern world, so that you may enter the kingdom of heaven …. otherwise ye shall be condemned to the firey pits of hell. Oh yeah – it's for eternity, by the way. Eternity. As in forever and ever and ever and ever.
Maybe it's just me, but when you add that "eternity" caveat, doesn't that make both versions of the afterlife seem like nothing to look forward to? Of all the vacations that I have ever taken, and of all the vacations that I would like to take but can't afford to, I cannot imagine one that I wouldn't eventually be sick of. You could send me to my own private island in the most beautiful Caribbean waters on earth, with all the free amenities, servants, delicious food and drink that I can partake in – it may take a year, it may take 5 years, but eventually it will get old and I will want to get the hell out of there. Maybe I'm off a bit, and it would take 20 years to become painfully tired of such an environment – but what is 20 years in comparison to eternity? Maybe it will take 1,000 years to get sick of it, but again - what is 1,000 years in comparison to eternity?
There is virtually nothing that a billionaire cannot afford to buy, and consequently I imagine that not much of anything falls into the category of a luxury at that point. If heaven is a land of milk and honey where you are richly rewarded with anything you desire, what would you have a desire for that would last an eternity?
If hell is eternal, wouldn't you get used to that burning sensation pretty quickly? What is torture if you cannot eventually die from it? How do trillions of souls, who cannot die again, not stand up to one devil and change their environment? How does that devil manage to control all those souls and still find time to mess with mortals on earth?
If doing things like gambling, partying, having sex, cursing, telling lewd jokes, not going to church, working on a Sunday, etc. is what lands you in hell, and doing things like singing religious hymns, proselytizing, going to church, and living a quiet, sanitized life of utter mediocrity is what gets you into heaven, which kind of souls would you rather be surrounded by for ETERNITY? Once you get beyond the paradise surroundings, and you are sick to death of being waited on hand and foot, and tired of playing golf every single day with gold plated clubs and diamond tipped golf balls, and don't want to ever see another luxury item again – the only thing you will have left to suffer through eternity with will be the trillions of other souls who you are surrounded by. It sickens me to think of myself ever being that position.
Once you think it through, the fact is that the only just reward that a god could ever grant would be the opportunity to come back to earth, or some other non-eternal place, and do it all over again. If I can't have that, then leave me to disintegrate into the earth and become a part of whatever else happens to absorb me. The heaven concept sounds grand, but thanks to that eternity clause it will eventually be as maddening as hell.
Views: 1273
I know, right? Some people spend their entire lives on a mission to get to a place that they refuse to even think about. I'm guessing that is why someone invented the concept of hell - as a distraction to keep people from thinking about how incredibly boring and stupid heaven is.
In the many arguments I've had with theists, especially as a troll on theist sites concerns food. Theists still think of the land of milk and honey and Lions become vegetarians LOL, etc...
If they eat in Heaven, what do they do for sewage or does the food get completely absorbed by the Super Saiyan bodies. Who does the work of growing the food and what about the spirits of the plants that are being consumed. Since it can be shown scientifically that they have lives and abilities previously unknown to us, thus likely have spirits as well.
Yes, their tiny dogma entrenched, narrow minds are so easily confused by logic.
Can you imagine the size of the sewage treatment plant in heaven? Oh wait - I know! The toilets flush directly into hell. Next question please.
The big wings made me think of DarkMatter2525's video "God's God", which Loren shared a few days ago:
Okay, so you would be expected to have a sexual relationship with God as well as feed it doggy chow and pat it. LOL!
If you want to read about a "heaven" from a rather different perspective, I heartily recommend Robert Heinlein's Job: A Comedy of Justice. His heaven is a bureaucratic nightmare where the left hand rarely knows what the right is doing and where R. H. I. P. seems to be among the primary rules of the road, yet somehow the dictum of the bible still manages to maintain ... and it is worth at least a chuckle in places. Of course, hell comes into the equation as well, and Heinlein gives us his own unique take on that.
Heinlein has taken on religion in at least a couple of his novels, but nowhere quite so head-on as with Job.
Sounds right up my alley. I'll look for it when I return my current load of library books.
I find the biggest problem with the concept of Heaven and all theists wishful thinking that they will meet their departed love ones there is that considering the difficulty of gaining a spot in Heaven and human nature, there is very little chance any of them will ever meet any of their love ones there.
They have a 99.9% better chance of meeting all of them in Hell.
So, I find the entire concept extremely idiotic indeed.ROFL! :D Theists are funny!
Good thing the afterlife is eternal, since it would take you an eternity to find anyone in sea of infinite souls. What's so enjoyable about that?
One of the main reasons I am opposed to Heaven is that I have no desire whatsoever to see my relatives again.
This reminds me of "The existential horror of being trapped in an LMFAO music video"... HA! They get tired of it after just two days. Imagine what eternity would be like. ;)
It appears that in order to contemplate the nature of heaven, one needs to not believe in its existence.
Do even theists give it this much "thought"?
Then again, it is kinda fun.

On the New Age Movement, From NYC
May 22, 2014
One thing that hit me hard while watching Dallas Buyers Club: the fact that mainstream 1980s medical science was completely unprepared for the AIDS epidemic, coupled with the societal stigma/homophobia of the era, meant that the afflicted had to resort to their own means to survive. Meaning, outside of standard medical science.
Enter: "the New Age Movement."
Some time in the 1940s, the "occult" movement (first made popular and newsworthy during the Victorian Era, re: dead Prince Albert, dead President Lincoln) metastasized into what we now call "New Age." Mostly American, they set about reworking ancient non-Western medical traditions (like chakras and auras) into pseudosciences ("chromotherapy"). This "took," and it's why we now apply different colors to the chakras that line up along our spinal column.
This also happened with anything that science, at that time, couldn't readily explain. New Age-types began to glom onto notions of "Atlantis," "Mars," "channeling other dimensions," etc. Once they got their talons into things that science couldn't explain, it became theirs forever.
I'm an '80s kid. Every month as a child I was ecstatic to receive my Time/Life "Mysteries of the Unknown" book, so I'm well aware of peripheral pseudosciences' grip upon the imagination. I recall entire volumes devoted to Atlantis, a bio on Homer, different geographical spots on the modern globe suspected as the civilization's original site, speculation on alien interference, et cetera.
I've mentioned prior that my Dad is the hippie, my mother is the "white ethnic." I approach New Age concepts with my mother's Euro-cynicism, though I'm agnostic enough to "live and let live." The human mind is, after all, the greatest pharmacist in the universe -- I really can't argue the exact borders of what constitutes "psychosomatic."
I spent last weekend at the New Life Expo in midtown Manhattan's Hotel Pennsylvania. I had heard all kinds of things about the show, and the venue itself (the 18th floor space for the Expo is actually the site of the VERY FIRST Sci Fi/Star Trek Convention that EVER occurred, way back in January 1972). Only having attended local shows prior to that, the New York version overwhelmed.
For one thing: actual raw/vegan/living food (there was an entire "food hall" chock-full of sprout salads, exotic berries, wheatgrass, kale chips -- the whole gamut). One of the things I've never understood about New Age-types (the non-bicoastal ones, anyway) is how quickly they adhere to "get all your greens for the day in this one fruity chew!"
Umm... no. My "white ethnic" side tells me food should look like what it is; the less processing/augmentation, the better. No powder or smoothie will ever replace what the good Earth put here for you to consume naturally. Likewise, this goes for metal tubes you put in water to alkalize it, "meals in a tube," green protein shakes, etc.
But I digress.
One of the great things about the New Age "umbrella" in this country is the ubiquitous presence of "shamans." When I say "shamans," I mean "wounded healers." Across all human cultures, the archetype of the "shaman" (or: "one who traverses the line between material and spiritual, to obtain a cure"), is that of a "wounded healer" who almost lost their own life to disease, and then turns around and helps others.
This is profound to me. And I've met many people over my lifetime who felt "shut out" of standard medical practice (due to bigotry or ignorance or helplessness or even lack of federal funding) who then took their own health by the horns. This inherently means figuring things out for yourself, and like the moral of Dallas Buyers Club: not depending solely upon the man in the white lab coat to provide you with the "cure" in pill form.
My own "HIV research" has me going on a path similar to this. As mentioned prior, the intersection of globalism and the Internet WITH the AIDS Epidemic means we have immeasurable access to the "research" other humans have done into HIV over the past 30 years. And we are actually surrounded by these amateur scientists: I was shocked after my diagnosis to discover there are many HIV-positive people who have been living with their condition for decades.
How did they do it? Some cite a good attitude, others suppose its their DNA.
The ones I'm interested in? People who have found solace and immunity in yoga, acupuncture, plant-based living, fermented foods, et cetera. It CAN be done. These people literally blow me away with the amount of centered focus they have day-in/day-out.
And truthfully? I GET the whole "New Age" thing now, in ways I just didn't comprehend 20 years ago. A robust society NEEDS "alternative medicine." We SHOULD always be challenged on what is healthy and what is medicine.
And my "shaman-radar" goes off whenever I meet another HIV-positive human being. There's something to be said about 1980s ignoring HIV, and what that did to those with HIV. It made the survivors stronger, more resilient, and most importantly: more knowledgeable.

Ben is an old soul from the American heartland. Indoctrinated as a child on AIDS education throughout the 80s/90s, he's fascinated by the sociological and psychological outcomes that resulted from that exposure, for all of us. Especially as new medicines and new generations rise to the challenge, relegating this once-fatal disease into "merely" a serious condition.
A recent diagnosis paired with this ancient education means internal conflict. Ben thrives on examining the layers of HIV-- where society, relationships and even the law are concerned.
Besides that, Ben's innate intellectual curiosity steers him toward diverse things such as immunity and diet, body politics, and "HIV subculture.

Final Examination of Rev. Paul A. Maillet
For the degree of Doctor of Sacred Theology
Friday, April 16, 2010 at 3:15 p.m., Caldwell Room 125
Rev. Christopher T. Begg, S.T.D., Ph.D.
The Servant Songs of Deutero-Isaiah in the MT and the LXX: A Comparison of Their Portrayals of God
This comparison of the portrayals of God in the Masoretic and Septuagint texts of the Servant Songs of Isaiah includes a discussion of the delimitation of the four songs, of text-critical issues, and of problems in translation. After the implied speakers and audiences are identified, those verses in which God is the speaker or referent are analyzed vis-à-vis the portrayal of God. The portrayals conveyed by the two forms of each song are then compared, and finally patterns in differences between the Hebrew and Greek texts are identified.
Although these Masoretic and Septuagint texts yield similar portrayals of God, differences emerge. The LXX texts contain fewer anthropomorphisms/anthropopathisms and depict God as more supportive of his Servant/Son than do the corresponding Masoretic texts. For example, in Isaiah 53, the MT depicts God as "crush[ing]" the Servant, whereas in the LXX the Servant's/Son's suffering is merely permitted by God, who quickly comes to his Servant's/Son's aid. The MT and the LXX texts address the problems of theodicy differently. The LXX focuses on the suffering as a divine discipline leading to wisdom while the MT gives equal weight to other explanations. For example, the Third Servant Song the MT, unlike in the LXX text, could lead the reader/listener to construe the Servant's suffering as a test of the Servant's faithfulness. While both the MT and LXX text of the Isaiah 53 assert that the Servant's suffering benefits others (identified only as "we" and "the many") the MT, unlike the LXX, does so in terms of cultic imagery. The MT, unlike the LXX text, refers to the Servant's justification of "the many."
In general, the portrayal of God in the Septuagint text would appear more congenial to those Jews (and potential non-Jewish "God-fearers") influenced by Greek philosophy. It is impossible, however, to know how the LXX translator's Vorlage compared to the MT of the Servant Songs and—to the degree that the Vorlage was the same—which of the differences in meaning were intended and not the result of errors/ambiguities in translation.

Press Release
Sullivan Presents Award for Pro Bono Service to Petersburg Attorney
October 1, 2010
Anchorage, Alaska - Attorney General Dan Sullivan today presented the first annual Attorney General's Award for Pro Bono Service to John Hoag, a Petersburg attorney, for his dedication to providing volunteer legal representation to victims of domestic violence.
"Providing legal representation to victims is a key factor in bringing down the epidemic levels of domestic violence and sexual assault and ensuring that victims can escape abusive and dangerous situations," said Sullivan. "With John's dedication to pro bono on behalf of victims, he is making an outsize contribution to our fight against domestic violence."
Hoag, whose firm has offices in Petersburg and in Oregon, first began taking pro bono cases in 2007 from the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault's Pro Bono Project, which connects victims with volunteer attorneys across the state. Since then, Hoag has taken eight pro bono cases for clients across Southeast Alaska, including one he successfully pursued all the way to the Alaska Supreme Court.
"John's litigation and negotiation expertise has been a wonderful asset to our clients," said Christine McLeod Pate, supervising attorney for the ANDVSA Pro Bono Project. "He is never afraid to jump in and try a new area of the law. He cannot say no. He is a pro bono director's dream-come-true."
Staff from the domestic violence shelter in Petersburg, WAVE (Women's Aid in Violent Emergencies), had high praise for Hoag.
"John is compassionate, comprehensive, and cuts to the chase," said WAVE board member and advocate Kathy Bracken. "He is very professional, yet he manages to console and put victims at ease. They leave our office knowing he will do everything in his power to help them."
The award was announced at a kick-off event for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which began today. The event, hosted by AWAIC (Alaska Women's Aid in Crisis), a domestic violence shelter in Anchorage, featured remarks by a domestic violence survivor, as well as presentations by representatives of nonprofit organizations, the military, and municipal, state and federal government.
The event took place a day after the results of the first-ever statewide survey of victimization among Alaskan women were released. The survey, conducted by the University of Alaska Anchorage Justice Center, showed that about half of women surveyed had experienced an incident of domestic violence or sexual assault in their lifetimes.
Lowering the rates of domestic violence and sexual assault is a top priority of the Parnell administration. To achieve that goal, the administration is implementing a comprehensive plan to meet victims' needs, raise public awareness, and deter and punish offenders - PDF(60K).

cat run ranch.cut flowers and more
we are a family run farm in rural ohio specializing in growing and selling cut flowers at farmers markets.we hope to expand our buis. to to restaurants and other institutions this year.cat run ranch is our name because we live next to tiny cat run creek,we have five cats and three dogs and something is always running.I guess ranch came into the name because we have miniature donkeys,and it seemed to sound right.we are open to changing the name to cat run flower farm.
Farmers market customers;I think they really like the rural-rustic look.Only people with extra money buy flowers."city folks." People who would buy the absolute freshest,'naturally grown',pesticide free local flowers are the market I am after.People who buy cut flowers seem to be well educated.
our biggest sellers are sunflowers.maybe an old fencepost with a black iron cat run ranch sign and a cat in full stride hanging under it and sunflowers and red hollyhocks behind.maybe the cat run ranch could be on the side of an old mailbox with a cat on top?Maybe with an old 'flower farm' sign nailed to the post below the mailbox. sunflowers can be all yellow,I said red hollyhocks for the height and color.this will need to look good on some shade of green for a backround.Another idea I am open to would be the sun comming up over an old red barn with a sunflower as the sun and a cat in there somewhere.It could have 'flower farm' painted on the barnsideand cat run ranch printed above or below.Harris seeds has good sunflower pictures

Court Says Feds Need A Warrant To Listen To Touchtone Beeps Too
from the beep-boop-bop-beep-beep-beep-beep deptWhile there are still arguments over the legality of the government's warrantless wiretap program, apparently there's been a separate court case looking at whether or not a warrant is needed if the authorities are just listening to your touchtone dialing, rather than the contents of the call itself. The feds felt that if it was just the touchtone beeps, then they didn't need any warrant at all -- but a court has now shot that theory down. The feds tried to claim that such data was not "content" which would trigger the need for a warrant -- but considering that with today's touchtone IVR systems, such data could include passwords, PINs, social security numbers and other private data, it seems perfectly reasonable to suggest a warrant is necessary.

Should the Glendale High and Flintridge Prep boys' water polo teams win their respective CIF Southern Section Division V quarterfinal road matches Saturday, they would meet in a semifinal match Wednesday.
Glendale Coach Forest Holbrook and Flintridge Prep Coach Dan Hare aren't concerned about that. They've got more pressing issues to handle.
Top-seeded Glendale (19-5) will face Los Altos (16-14) at 5 p.m. today at Brenda Villa Aquatic Center in Commerce. Fourth-seeded Flintridge Prep (17-8) will travel to meet Riverside Poly (17-10) at 2 p.m. at Bobby Bonds Park's Sippywoodhead Pool.
"Glendale has a very strong team, but you have to focus on your own match," said Hare, whose team began the playoffs with a 12-7 win against Whittier on Wednesday at Burbank High. "We have to deal with Riverside Poly and I hear they are talented.
"We feel like we are ready to go. In this tournament, everybody has got a chance. You have to go into these games focusing on the things you've done well to get to this point and continue to keep your eyes open."
Flintridge Prep, which finished second in the Prep League, got three goals and four assists from Ethan Vandeventer to turn back Whittier.
Riverside Poly, which took first in the Inland Valley League, netted a 12-5 first-round win against visiting Burroughs on Wednesday.
Glendale, which won the Pacific League championship for the second season in a row under Holbrook, began its playoff journey with a 19-10 win against JW North of Riverside at Burbank.
The Nitros received a match-high six goals from Arman Momdzhyan against North. Glendale also got five goals from Manuk Piloyan and two apiece from Levon Gevorkyan and Atak Arzumanyan.
The Nitros and Conquerors met during the regular season with Glendale posting a 16-11 nonleague win in October.
Holbrook said he's expecting another tough matchup with Los Altos.
"They have a lot of good players," Holbrook said. "It's all about matchups and trying to get them in our favor.
"We had a big lead on them the first time and we were able to switch up our defense. We like our game plan right now."
Los Altos, which tied for first in the Hacienda League, but went in as the second seed out of the league, started off the postseason Wednesday with a 21-6 win against El Rancho.
The other quarterfinal matches will feature second-seeded La Serna against host Burbank and third-seeded Pasadena Poly hosting Walnut.
The semifinal matches will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. and 7:30 at Mount San Antonio College in Walnut. The championship match will begin at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at William Woollett Jr. Aquatic Center in Irvine.

The Steelers scored a touchdown, which ought to be enough.
Ben Roethlisberger's 1-yard pass to Leonard Pope gave the Steelers a 10-3 lead just before the end of the first half, and considering the Browns were content to run out the clock, that might be plenty.
The Browns lost wide receiver Josh Gordon to an ankle injury, and his fumble on the play was one of their two turnovers in the first half. That's plenty of help, and the Steelers kind of need it, as they've managed 99 yards at halftime.
