The Perfect Squonk Box Mod to Match The Pulse BF-RDA's!
Vandy Vape & Tony B have been working together almost since the inception of Vandy Vape, and after the success of the Pulse 22mm & 24mm RDAs, which were primarily aimed at the squonking market, it only made sense for them to hook up once again to create a Squonker!
The Pulse BF mod perfectly marries the simplicity of a mechanical mod with the innovation that Chinese manufacturers are renowned for. At it's core the Pulse BF is a fairly straightforward mechanical squonker with copper positive and negative contacts as well as an 8ml food grade silicone juice reservoir, however the innovation comes in the switch and locking mechanism, which stop you firing outside of the device's abilities and from auto-firing respectively as well as being compatible with 18650 & 20700 batteries! Squonking may not be for everyone, but it's something that intrigues most RDA users, and there's no easier way to get into squonking than the Pulse BF Mod!

D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies
D'Arcy McNickle. Ayer Modern MS McNickle Box 34 Fl. 290.
The D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies was founded in 1972. Its goals are to encourage the use of the Newberry collections in these areas of study; improve the quality of what is written about American Indians and Indigenous peoples; educate teachers about American Indian and Indigenous cultures, histories, and literatures; assist American Indian tribal and Indigenous historians in their research; and provide a meeting ground where scholars, teachers, tribal historians, and others can discuss their work with each other. See our core collection page on American Indian and Indigenous Studies for an introduction to using the Newberry's rich collection of American Indian and indigenous materials.
The McNickle Center's staff, affiliated research projects, and fellows have played a major role in shaping modern scholarship on American Indian and Indigenous studies. The long- and short-term fellows have produced nearly forty books and dozens of scholarly articles over the last two decades. The center sponsors conferences, seminars, and workshops for scholars and teachers, and administers several fellowships. It is also home to the Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies (NCAIS).
Contact the center's Staff for more information.
Dr. Rose Miron will be the next Director of the D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies, beginning July 8, 2019. Dr. Miron comes to the Newberry from the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition in Minneapolis, where she worked closely with tribal leaders to develop programs aimed at further understanding, addressing, and raising awareness about the inter-generational trauma resulting from experiences at U.S. Indian boarding schools. She recently completed her Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota, and her scholarly work focuses on how Native peoples use tribal archives to claim authority over the creation, assembly, and use of their historical materials.
The Newberry Library is located on the lands of American Indians, who have persisted longer than the United States has been a nation. We acknowledge that Potawatomi, Odawa, Sauk, Ojibwe, Illinois, Kickapoo (Kiikaapoi), Miami (Myaamia), Mascouten, Wea, Delaware, Winnebago, Menominee, and Mesquakie villages resided and traded along Lake Michigan's shoreline from precontact through the nineteenth century. The Newberry honors and respects Chicago's diverse American Indian community.

Make sure to click show full page. The button is overlapping some of the text. What would I need to do to make it so where the text positions itself so where it avoids contact with the button? Changing the height fixes it somewhat, but it needs to stay at this height.

A: If you wanted each of your well class height to be fixed, You need to move each of your btn-purple class outside of your well class as well. Also, To retain the look of your current layout, Place some of your css property from your well class to your col-sm-12 class (parent container)
Here is a sample jsfiddle to guide you: https://jsfiddle.net/u7ecv316/1/
Note: I've place a col-item class in col-sm-12 then place the btn-purple outside of well class. I've also override the css properties of well class too.
Hope this will guide you well

Will Philip Rivers go down as best QB to never win Super Bowl?
By Travis Wakeman
Jan 1, 2017; San Diego, CA, USA; San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers (17) signals before the snap during the first half of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Qualcomm Stadium. The Chiefs won 37-27. Mandatory Credit: Orlando Ramirez-USA TODAY Sports
It's the eve of Super Bowl Sunday, and as fans often do when their team isn't playing in the big game, they wonder what their team needs to do in order to be there next year.
The Los Angeles Chargers haven't played in the Super Bowl since 1994—the only appearance in franchise history—meaning quarterback Philip Rivers has never played in the game. Hopefully for him and his teammates, he'll get that chance before the sun sets on his terrific career.
And what about that career?
Could Rivers go down as the greatest quarterback in NFL history to never win the Super Bowl? Now, I know that's a bold statement. In fact, I'm more than certain that even some diehard Chargers fans read that sentence and immediately said "No"! But hear me out.
It's difficult to win a Super Bowl. Only a handful of quarterbacks have ever done it, and when you include the fact that some of those quarterbacks are Mark Rypien, Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer, it's not the best way to measure a player's career.
That's why I hate when someone says Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all-time by immediately bringing up how many Super Bowls he's won.
Teams win Super Bowls, not players. But there are definitely some great players that have never won a Super Bowl and in some cases, never even played in one.
That is the case for Rivers, who is the ultimate competitor.
But he's more than that. He's been a great quarterback, one that ranks at No. 12 in career passing yardage. He took over as the Chargers' all-time leading passer last season, surpassing the great Dan Fouts, another quarterback who never played in the Super Bowl.
In addition to that, Rivers ranks at No. 8 all-time with 314 touchdown passes. That number will get even bigger, as Rivers figures to have at least a couple seasons left at 35 years old.
And then, there's his most impressive statistic. The fact that since becoming the team's starting quarterback in 2006, he's never missed a game. He's only missed a handful of snaps in that time.
Rivers is a true leader and one that has the Chargers in just about every game, regardless of what kind of help he has around him.
So if Rivers isn't the best quarterback to never win a Super Bowl, who is? A case can certainly be made for a few guys.
Fran Tarkenton ranks among the league's all-time passing yardage and touchdown pass leaders, and led the Minnesota Vikings to three Super Bowls. However, his teams lost each of those games.
Warren Moon threw for what seemed like a million yards between the CFL and NFL, but never really sniffed a Super Bowl appearance, despite playing on some very strong Houston Oilers teams.
Dan Marino is the answer that most comes up when the "best player to never win a Super Bowl" question is posed. Marino was a gifted passer, one that went to the Super Bowl in his second season with the Miami Dolphins in 1984. His team lost that game and unfortunately for him and Dolphins fans, he never got back.
Marino ranks No. 5 all-time in both passing yardage and passing touchdowns. However, he holds an 8-10 all-time playoff record, including that Super Bowl defeat.
Rivers still has time to expand upon his gaudy numbers. Of course, fans of the Chargers hope that he wins a Super Bowl before his career is over, leaving this debate to contain names like Tarkenton, Moon and Marino.
But should he walk away without that elusive ring, Rivers' name definitely belongs in that conversation.

Backtracks: Bad Company – Bad Company
Under: Albums, Bands, Reviews, Songs, Videos/By: Duane English
Bad Company Goes Public
Dangerous Age 1988
When he heard his first Beatles song, Paul Rodgers was a teenager playing for The Roadrunners, a local band in Middlesbrough, England. The band members at the time included Micky Moody (Whitesnake) and Bruce Thomas (Elvis Costello and The Attractions). They performed assorted cover songs at halls and clubs in the area. In 1967 they had played out the local music scene so they changed the band name to The Wildflowers and moved to London. After some minor success, they began touring, however, relationships within the band deteriorated and they soon disbanded without making any recordings.
At the early age of 19, Rodgers became the lead vocalist in the brand-new British blues band Free, joining bassist Andy Fraser (15), lead guitarist Paul Kossoff (17), and drummer Simon Kirke (18). The young friends recorded and released their initial album, Tons of Sobs, in March of 1968. The record failed to chart in the United Kingdom, but it broke into the U.S. Top 200 at spot 197. In October of 1969, the band offered a second release, Free, that barely made a whimper. The album sold poorly, only reaching number 22 in the U.K. and failing to even appear on the U.S. side of the charts.
The summer of the following year the third studio album, Fire and Water, hit record stores, and it was a huge success. A single from the release, "All Right Now", rose to the top of the U.K. rock music charts, was number 2 on the U.K. singles chart, and got as high as number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 list. The album itself landed at the second spot on U.K. Albums Chart and number 17 on the U.S. charts. The single was celebrated for surpassing 1,000,000 plus radio plays in the United States in late 1989, and in 2000 "All Right Now" exceeded 2,000,000 radio plays in the U.K.
In 1971, with mounting conflicts between Rodgers and bassist Andy Fraser, and faced with the drug problems of guitarist Paul Kossoff and their inconsistent record sales, the band broke up. They released prior live recordings on the album Free Live in the fall of that year, then reformed and put out another album, Free At Last, in June of 1972.
After Andy Fraser threw in the towel and left the group late in 1972, Free was finally laid to rest in 1973 following the final album, Heartbreaker. Rodgers and drummer Kirke then joined up with guitarist Mick Ralphs (Mott the Hoople) and Boz Burrell (King Crimson) on bass to form Bad Company. The band was the first to sign a record deal with the new Led Zeppelin label Swan Song, and they released Bad Company in June of 1974.
Deluxe Editon
The album soared to the top spot on the Billboard 200 and spent 25 weeks on the U.K. Albums Chart, reaching number 3 in the second week. Classic rock standards from the record include "Can't Get Enough" and "Movin' On", both Top Twenty hits, as well as "Rock Steady", "Bad Company" and "Ready for Love".
Ruby Anniversary DVD
The debut release made 'Bad Company' the name of a band, an album, and a song. It went on to become a Platinum Album five times over and was in the Top 50 best-selling albums of the 1970's. The disc is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

"With a number one album to their credit in America, Bad Company returned to London triumphant. "The end of our first tour, the four of us were summoned to Peter Grant's suite," remembers Kirke. "We thought we had done something wrong. We all went up to his room, coming in like toe-scuffing schoolboys. Peter said, 'Now listen guys, it's been a long tour and you've worked your asses off.' Then he paused for dramatic effect and we thought, what the fuck have we done. He pulled back this sheet that had been on the ground and said, 1 hope there will be a lot more of these in the future.' Our gold albums for Bad Company were there." – BadCompany.com
From the album review by Rolling Stone dated August 29, 1974: "This is an uncompromising album, reflecting the wills as much as the talents of the participants, and it's all the more impressive in light of the fact that it was recorded immediately after the group's formation. The stylistic rigidness of Bad Co. may prevent the band from becoming a supergroup right off the bat, but the album's raw strengths will surely draw diehard rock & roll listeners. With upgraded material — perhaps including non-originals — more stylistic daring of the sort displayed on "Don't Let Me Down" and the maturation of the already rewarding relationship between Rodgers and Ralphs, Bad Company could become a tremendous band."
In the years since the review, the band has gone on to offer five platinum and three gold albums. They have been at it since 1973, and Bad Company is still in business. They have released a dozen studio albums, six live performances (CD/DVD), and four compilation albums. In August of 2008, the remaining members of Bad Company appeared for a one-time-only performance at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Rodgers said they did the gig in order to "protect the legacy they have built and cement the rights to the trademark Bad Company for touring." The live performance includes seventeen Bad Company hits, and Rodgers dedicated "Gone, Gone, Gone" to original bassist Boz Burrell, who died in 2006. Additionally, Free bassist Andy Fraser passed away in 2015, and a farewell article covering his talented life is available via The Guardian.
In November of 2016, guitarist Mick Ralphs fell victim to a stroke. More information with regard to his current status is on his web homepage. You can also check in with singer Paul Rodgers and discover his latest work via the InterNet/Web hook-up here. Drummer Simon Cook is out here as well and has a browser destination for more stuff. Find out the latest band status at the Bad Company Official Website at Bad Company HQ.
Considering the demise of Boz Burrell and Andy Fraser, and the struggles faced by Mick Ralphs, you could end up in Sad Company. But the guys would likely point to their audio archive and tell us to keep movin'…

Trump's defiance of voters' will hits GOP resistance
Trump's defiance of voters' will hi...
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's effort to persuade state and local Republicans to help him in overturning the election has so far run into a quiet resistance that could mark a coming end to his attempt at an unprecedented power grab.
The Republican-led Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County, Ariz., voted unanimously Friday to certify the county's election results, with the board chairman declaring there was no evidence of fraud or misconduct "and that is with a big zero."
The top GOP lawmakers in Pennsylvania, where counties must submit their official results by Monday, have said they have no role in deciding the winner of the state's electoral college votes, writing in an op-ed last month that the law "plainly says that the state's electors are chosen only by the popular vote of the commonwealth's voters."
And Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, moved to certify his state's results Friday, confirming Biden's win there and refusing to endorse Trump's claim that the vote was tainted by fraud.
On Saturday, a federal judge threw out the Trump campaign's lawsuit that sought to block certification of Pennsylvania's election results. "In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state," U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann wrote.
While some Republican officials in presidential battleground states have given credence to Trump's baseless fraud claims by launching websites and tip lines aimed at uncovering election irregularities, only a few have appeared willing to endorse an extraordinary move to appoint pro-Trump electors in states Biden won.
A reminder of continued GOP support for Trump's efforts was apparent Saturday in Michigan, where the state's Republican chairwoman, Laura Cox, issued a joint statement with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel calling on the state to delay final certification of the vote and conduct a "full audit and investigation." This came a day after the state's top GOP lawmakers met with Trump at the White House but declared afterward that they had "not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan."
For the most part, local and state officials have either remained silent or moved forward with the process of certifying election results, potentially closing the door to Trump's post-election gambit to change the results - first through the courts and then by way of GOP-led statehouses.
Republican officials have been reluctant to openly defy Trump, and many have either humored him or echoed less incendiary versions of his evidence-free claims about rigged voting machines and mail-in ballots. Others have offered only milquetoast and vague statements aiming to defend the integrity of their states' voting processes while not offending a prickly and vindictive president.
Their delicate posturing underscores the challenge Republicans face as the president solicits their complicity in undermining the democratic process while maintaining an ironclad grip on the party's voting base.
And it mirrors the approach of some federal officials, including in the Justice Department, where Attorney General William Barr touted false claims about mail-in ballots but prosecutors have made no moves to investigate the recent baseless allegations by Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani of a global conspiracy by Democrats to steal the election.
"Republicans knew they've been damned if they do and worse if they don't when it comes to crossing Trump," said Doug Heye, a former top official at the Republican National Committee and a Trump critic. "But they thought that would end post-Election Day. Instead, they're stuck in the same time warp: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
In recent days, Trump and his legal team have put their attention more squarely on GOP state lawmakers in a last-ditch attempt to get them to fix the electoral college in his favor.
Under a highly disputed legal theory, Republican lawmakers in key swing states could potentially vote to appoint Trump-supporting electors even if their constituents voted for Biden.
Trump's most aggressive attempt yet to use the weight of the presidency to lean on state lawmakers - summoning the Michigan legislators to the White House - coincided with Trump's legal team's effort to force a delay in the certification of that state's election results. President-elect Joe Biden won the state by more than 150,000 votes.
The details of the meeting are not known. But if Trump's goal was to get Michigan's GOP-led legislature to commit publicly to backing his push to toss out Biden's win, he did not appear to make much headway.
After the meeting, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield said that while they supported investigating fraud allegations, they would honor the outcome of the state's election. A joint statement issued after the meeting said that "the candidates who win the most votes win elections and Michigan's electoral votes. These are simple truths that should provide confidence in our elections."
But although Shirkey and Chatfield, who later Friday were seen having drinks at Trump's hotel near the White House, did not endorse the president's baseless claims or embrace the prospect of disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of Black voters in cities like Detroit, they did not directly denounce the claims, either. And on the same day, Cox, the state GOP chairwoman, said that Republicans would continue pressuring the state to audit the vote in Wayne County, home to a large percentage of Michigan's Black residents.
The state canvassing board is to meet Monday to certify the vote. One of the two Republican members, Norman Shinkle, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he was leaning toward seeking a delay and requesting an audit of the vote, citing debunked conspiracy theories touted by Trump and his attorneys about voting machines. But the statement by Shirkey and Chatfield suggested that any delay would not ultimately result in Trump's reversing Biden's win through legislative edict.
While a growing number of state officials have begun to speak out against the president's entreaties, more have remained silent or taken steps to indulge him.
As Trump and his allies have floated the idea of delaying certification of election results and having GOP-led legislatures fix the electoral college in his favor, the unwillingness of many state-level Republicans to forcefully denounce such a move has been interpreted in the White House as a green light to press ahead.
Out of more than three dozen top Republican officials in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and Georgia contacted by The Washington Post on Friday, only a handful have commented on the record about Trump's push to overturn the election results. This reticence has left breathing room for Trump's claims about widespread voter fraud to flourish, despite a lack of evidence that there was any such fraud or that irregularities had shaped the results of the election.
Though some Republican officials have increasingly dismissed or ignored the incendiary fraud claims by Trump and Giuliani, the slew of carefully worded statements, declinations to comment and vague attempts to defend the president reflect the enduring power of the president's grip on his party.
Some historians say legislators' willingness even to entertain the idea of overturning voters' choice sets a dangerous precedent.
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, is one of a small number of Republican officials who have not minced words as Trump has attacked and undermined a bedrock component of the democratic process.
"It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American President," Romney said in a statement Thursday that blasted Trump for attempting to put "overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people."
But the sentiment from Romney was far from a mainstream position within the party that selected him as its presidential nominee in 2012.
Most of his fellow Republican U.S. senators have remained silent about Trump's actions, leaving the work of defending the integrity of the election to the local and state officials tasked with overseeing voting issues in their respective states.
After largely staying on the sidelines in the debate over Georgia's election, Kemp said on Friday that he would follow state law requiring him to accept the secretary of state's certified results.
"State law now requires the governor's office to formalize the certification, which paves the way for the Trump campaign to pursue other legal options and a separate legal option if they choose," he said in a statement. "As governor, I have a solemn responsibility to follow the law, and that is what I will continue to do."
There was little pushback among state lawmakers.
While one Georgia state legislator, Rep. Colton Moore, wrote a letter to Kemp earlier Friday calling on him to allow the legislature to assume "the burden" of deciding the election, few joined him.
Some in the party wanted to quickly move on from the election and the claims of vote-rigging to turn their attention - and Trump's - to a pair of critical runoff races that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Undermining faith in the electoral system could make it harder for incumbent Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue to corral enough support in the Jan. 5 races, said Brian Robinson, a GOP communications consultant in the state who was a longtime spokesman for Nathan Deal when the Republican was Georgia governor.
"We need to move our focus to the Senate races. Georgians single-handedly get to determine who operates Washington for the next two years," he said. "Senators Loeffler and Perdue need their voters to have faith in the integrity of the election system, and they need President Trump to engage and rev up his turnout machine."
Republicans who have remained silent in the face of Trump's antics have done so in part out of fear of angering the president's base - which turned out in force to back him in November, Heye said.
Still, some of the most forceful pushbacks to Trump's claims have come from local GOP officials.
On Friday, the five-member Maricopa County Board of Supervisors - all but one of whom are Republicans - voted unanimously to certify the county's election results, which showed Biden had won Arizona's largest county.
Before doing so, they questioned county elections officials for nearly three hours in painstaking detail about how votes had been cast and tabulated, an effort to show that the process had been transparent and airtight.
Board Chairman Clint Hickman, a Republican, noted that his own office had received 180 letters, 4,000 emails and nearly 3,000 voice mails about the election.
"I continue to hear from government leaders and the public about the integrity of Maricopa County elections," he said. "I have listened to and considered all theories about what might have happened. Let me be clear: There is no evidence of fraud or misconduct or malfunction in Maricopa County, and that is with a big zero."
Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri, a Republican, shot down conspiracy theories that Trump's allies have circulated regarding Dominion voting machines. Election officials also testified that results of a hand audit of a portion of ballots had matched 100 percent with machine-tabulated figures, and that representatives of the state's Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties had all signed off on that audit earlier in the week.
Hickman closed out the meeting with a veiled but pointed message for those, including Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward, who continued to allege widespread voter fraud when there was no evidence to support it.
"I have learned a lot about the character of people in this community regarding this matter. I've been disheartened by individuals using this time to find relevancy or fundraise off this issue," he said. "It's time to dial back the rhetoric, conspiracies and false claims."
While the GOP caucus in Arizona's state Senate announced it was setting up an email address to collect new claims of voter fraud, it did not appear prepared to take more aggressive steps to deliver the state to Trump. Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, did not respond to The Post's request for comment but told the Arizona Republic on Thursday that she did not intend to try to delay the certification of Arizona's vote.
"There's no way we can say we're going to change this now," she said.
A similar dynamic was at play in Nevada, where the state party has been using its official social media accounts to solicit potential examples of voter fraud from whistleblowers but where officials have not taken steps to overturn Biden's win.
Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican, published a statement earlier this week in which she denied she had met with any Republicans in Congress about the election results and distanced herself from the certification process.
"At no point do I, as Secretary of State, have the authority to certify or not certify election results. Ultimately, it is the Governor who declares the outcomes and issues certificates of election," she said in that statement.
A spokeswoman for Cegavske said the secretary of state was unavailable for comment.
Pennsylvania Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman declined a request for comment on Trump's efforts to reverse the election results through statehouses.
The op-ed he wrote last month with House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff was blunt: "We have said it many times and we will happily say it again: The Pennsylvania General Assembly does not have and will not have a hand in choosing the state's presidential electors or in deciding the outcome of the presidential election."
But Corman told the Philadelphia Inquirer this week that "we need to be patient and allow the process - the constitutional process that has been laid out for us - to unfold" and that legal processes still in motion should be allowed to conclude before results are certified. He also said the only way the state legislature might be involved in that process would be "if there was no certification of the results."
In Wisconsin, the GOP-led Committee on Campaigns and Elections said it was collecting "complaints, concerns or allegations" about the November election, but few lawmakers spent time discussing Trump's allegations that Biden's 20,000-vote victory in the state resulted from widespread fraud. Instead, Republican House Speaker Robin Vos spent Friday meeting with Democratic Gov. Tony Evers discussing a coronavirus relief package.
When three voters dropped their lawsuit seeking to disqualify all the votes in Democratic-leaning Dane, Milwaukee and Menominee counties last week, Republican House Majority Leader Jim Steineke responded with a two-word tweet: "Good news."

Happier times, Christmas party for staff. Shankar is the one holding Bruce.
Remember the movie Driving Miss Daisy? Yeah, me neither. I never saw it. I only remember the title. And every time Shankar drives me somewhere and I start singing and or dancing in the car, or have a mini meltdown over something idiotic, a flashback of the trailer of that movie comes to mind except in my head it's, "Driving Miss Crazy". I've often wondered what Shankar thinks of my singing out loud when I'm in a good mood, dancing when the beat just gets me and my rants and raves when India won't do things the logical, easy, common sense way.
I think I have probably taken my driver for granted and perhaps I am now paying the price. Shankar has been the other man in my life for over a year now. I see more of him than I ever have of my husband and perhaps sometimes I'm not very easy to be "married to". He is privy to my happiness, my hurts, my anger, my incredulous thoughts over craziness in this town, my confusion, my sadness, my joy. I wear my heart on my sleeve. It's a life long curse, a personal characteristic that I wish I could get a handle on, but never seem to master.
It's this wonderful trait of mine that I believe caused my driver to start feeling unappreciated and not happy in his position with us. When he would do things "the hard way" or not do something in a timely manner or screw something up, or just maybe do things that would irritate me or cause me to instruct him to do things differently, I caused him to "lose face" and he decided that he was no longer happy in our employ.
So what happened? If I wrote it all down it would just seem ridiculous and in reality it is ridiculous. To us it is ridiculous.....to Shankar, well it was enough that he gave us a month's notice to find another driver and then the very next day ask for his job back.
I need to back up and tell you that as an expat, who's company does not allow us to drive our own vehicles, or at the very least strongly suggests that we get a driver here, your driver is the most important person on your staff. The driver will get your husband to work on time, get you to your kids bus stop in one piece, navigate these treacherous roads, pot holes and cows and tuk tuks and whatever else happens to be on the "all way" road. If he is a good driver he will make your life easier and will help you in every single way you can imagine. He will save you money from those trying to over charge you, he will become a good friend to your children, sometimes even playing babysitter, a friend to your friends, he will be your interpreter, he will be a walking information book on India customs, festivals, poojas, he will be your champion, and you may start to consider him as family. John and I would joke that as much time as Shankar and I would spend together on a daily basis he was my "other husband".
Well my other husband wanted a divorce on Saturday and by Sunday night wanted to get back together. The issues that made him want to leave us have now become bigger issues and somewhat confusing. We find his reasons to be immature and unprofessional and they keep changing every time we discuss. He quit and had us scrambling to try and find a replacement and then after a day of calling potential drivers and interviewing, Shankar came over and told us he made a mistake and did not want to leave us after all.
Dilemma. In a world that is not India (meaning things are just so hard here).......I think we would understand that people make mistakes and possibly laugh it off and shake hands and say of course you are like family, all is forgiven let's be family again. But here, the whole saving face issue, knowing that their pride and being right is more important than perhaps their job....makes it difficult to believe that this won't happen again. There is a trust that develops between you and your staff and once the trust bond that you build gets torn down it is very hard to rebuild. Once someone has "quit you and your family" it is hard not to take it personal, distrust and feelings of betrayal settle in. When there are so many conflicting "reasons" for the initial breakup, it becomes harder and harder to figure out if this "relationship can be saved" or it is just best to move on.
We are emotionally invested in Shankar and his family and thought he was emotionally invested in us. I know some of you are thinking, "Cynthia, what did you do?". Believe me I have been asking that since Saturday when he resigned but the answers that he gave us had more to do with him and less with me. Therefore leading John and I to think that it might just be better if we part ways as he had requested on Saturday. I am still very confused on what is really going on here as his story keeps changing and in the end, when the trust is gone, it's over. Right?
Do I sound nonchalant about this? I don't mean to. It's all I have thought about since Saturday. And since Sunday night when he changed his mind I have been conflicted on what to do. John is traveling so we told him we would make a decision upon John's return and in the interim we should all take a step back and think about what is the best course forward.
No matter what we decide, I am sad. Sad because a trust and bond has been broken. Bummed because we trusted him with our child, our lives, our money, we care about him his wife his children, his sister, his brother, their parents. Believe me when I tell you we are generous with our staff and take care of them. Now I worry what will we he do if we don't agree to let him stay on. What was he planning to do when he decided to quit? I go back and forth, weighing the pros and cons, wondering what is the right thing to do. I don't want my decision to be based on emotion, I don't want to bite off my nose to spite my face. You might be wondering if it's my decision or mine and John's decision. Yes it's our decision but my thoughts will be the deciding factor as John and I have always made it clear that while he pays the salary, I'm the boss to our staff as I spend the most time with them and they get their instructions from me.
I'm not going to sleep well even though I don't have to make a decision tonight. I can sleep on it. Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning.....or not. But I think we all know which way the wind is blowing.
So...... do you now have that song stuck in your head now?
Baby, baby let me sleep on it....let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the moooor-or-ning. When are we going karoke?

Home Film SA's Next Top Editor: Making the Cut
SA's Next Top Editor: Making the Cut
General Post, in association with respected industry partners, Ireland/Davenport, Media Film Service, 7Films, The Bladeworks, Aces Up and Purple Mouse has been engaged in the search for SA's Next Top Editor. Screen Africa published the competition in its October magazine and there has been an overwhelming number of entries from some talented young editors. The competition moves into its final stage on 22 November.
The young editors were given the unique opportunity to cut a high-end PSA for the Mineseeker Foundation. The commercial was shot at Newlands swimming pool in Cape Town, on the 22 October 2010 by emerging director, Wednesday, from 7films. "The shoot was an unbelievable experience on a mammoth scale involving over 250 extras, children, dogs and a large number of inflatable pool toys,' says Kirsty Galliard of General Post
Media Film Service Cape Town really exceeded expectations by coming on board to sponsor all the cameras, lighting and grips equipment for the shoot. Media Film Service is well known in the industry for the regular support they provide to development and training initiatives.
"Our philosophy has always been one of growing the film industry and a key aspect of this is to offer the opportunity to young talented film makers to practice and hone their skills,' says Jannie van Wyk, CEO Media Film Services.
"While it is difficult to support every project due to availability of resources, we endeavor to do what we can. The art of filmmaking is not only learned in a book but on set and it encompasses a wide range of skills from artistic and creative to technical. Local home grown talents are what we want to develop and to encourage so that they will continue to be featured on the world stage and become the best of the best in our industry. We are focused on development, sustainability and quality for future film makers.'
At the end of a tiring (wet!) day, the shoot was declared a success by all involved and the footage sent off to Johannesburg to be down converted, burnt onto disc and supplied to the young editors.
Each entrant was given a disc containing the offline footage, some music options and a commercial editor's "cheat-sheet' put together for us by commercials editor, Jo Gibbon. The editors were invited to submit a 60 second edit with a 45 second cut down based on the loose concept provided by Ireland/Davenport. "We purposely excluded the directors' treatment, brief and storyboard so that the editors could really showcase both their storytelling and creative skills,' explains Galliard.
During the early stage of the competition both Wednesday and Jo Gibbon made themselves available to answer any creative or storytelling queries the young editors might have via the General Post Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Generalpost.
Once the competition closes, on 12 November 2010, 10 finalists will be selected and will each receive the opportunity to have an approval in the Aces Up edit suite alongside the agency, director and client as well as our panel of judges.
The Bladeworks, Johannesburg's premier postproduction facility, has generously allowed each of the finalists to grade their completed edits in Baselight with young colourist, Andries de Jaager, and have sponsored the online and VFX for the winning edit. This will be a rare opportunity for young editors to be exposed to high end finishing processes normally reserved for big budget productions.
The winner of the competition will be announced and the winning PSA screened at an event at the Maximillen Restaurant, Da Vinci Hotel in Sandton on the 14 December 2010.
For more information, please contact Kirsty Galliard at General Post on 0860-111-553 or kirsty@generalpost.co.za. You can also visit www.generalpost.co.za or www.facebook.com/GeneralPost for progress updates.

Q: User in group does not have groups permissions I'm running an Apache web server in Arch Linux. Currently I have web files located at /srv/http and it belongs to user 'http'. The directory is very secure, only root and http are allowed to view and edit the files in /srv/http. Nobody else can view or edit them. (drwxrwx---) I wanted to grant user 'tom' permissions to view and edit so root, http, and tom can view and edit but nobody else can view or edit.
I created a group called 'web' using groupadd command and added http and tom using gpasswd -a command.
As root, I executed "chown -R http:web /srv/http" then "chmod -R g+rwx /srv/http" to set the directory permissions.
The problem is that 'tom' still cannot view or edit files in /srv/http. If I issue "chown -R tom:web /srv/http", 'http' cannot read or edit too. How do I make it so that both users 'tom' and 'http' can view and edit files? What is I am missing here?
EDIT: Ok, I think I figured out the problem. I had to restart my SSH connection that I was using to connect to web server. (basically a re-login)


What Iain reports here shows that the BBC, a public service broadcaster with a duty to be politically balanced, is in fact a propaganda outlet. The researcher called him to be on the show, asked what he would say and then didn't call back. Instead, she tracked down a Conservative who would say what she wanted to hear and put him on instead.
Both the researcher and her editor should, at the least, be fired. It is is time to close the BBC, an organisation which has lost sight of its objectives.
Link: We pay to have an underclass - Telegraph.
I wasn't going to bother commenting on this article. Having read some of the comments on the Telegraph site and elsewhere, however, I feel the need to bear witness. Simon Heffer has told no more than the simple truth.
I grew up in the Labour North. I went to a comprehensive school, then recently converted from a Secondary Modern by means of changing the sign at the gate. It was staffed by the same teachers. Its educational record remains, thirty-two years on, appalling. I suspect it is now less successful than when it was a Secondary Modern. My school friends, like me, were from working-class families. Most remained working class themselves.
I did unskilled jobs for more than two years in total, during school and University vacations. I worked in a nationalised steel works one memorable Summer. It was losing four million 1970's pounds a week and any fool could see where it was going. My 8 hours a day job took 30 minutes for me to do. My colleagues passed the time flicking a golf ball into a Castella tin all day. They could perform amazing tricks with that ball. Bored out of my skull, I used the other 7.5 hours a day to research and write an essay which won me the only academic prize of my career. It was hardly fair on the other 2000 entrants, none of whom would have spent so much time. Thank you, British Steel. That entry on my CV got me some of my early breaks.
Unlike - I suspect - most angry commentators on Simon Heffer's article, I therefore know the working class. Its members have no greater tendency to idleness, violence or vice than their countrymen. I experienced the greatest kindnesses of my life from them. I have loved, and still love, several of them. The best and kindest person I ever knew spent her whole life as a presser in a textile works. She lived in a council house and played bingo for fun. She was my Nan and, though she died many years ago, I think of her - and miss her - every day.
When well treated and well managed (e.g. by Japanese motor manufacturers or electronics companies) our working people are capable of producing goods of the highest quality. As I saw at British Steel, they are also capable of descending into zombiedom. There, but for the Grace of God, go I. Had I spent my life in such a non-job, I might now have be able to put a golf ball into a cigar tin after making it execute a triple loop. Worse, I might have become an intelligent - and therefore more dangerous - version of John Prescott. Perhaps it is that knowledge that makes me hate him.
I moved away when I graduated, but I often return. My only house in Britain now is near where I grew up. Even after applying a discount for the effects of middle-aged curmudgeonry, I can see that the place has degenerated. Sons and daughters of honest working folk live on the dole, or on the sick. "Depression" and "back trouble" are rife. People who once would have been workers are experts in the complexities of the benefits system. The underclass exists. It annoys and dispirits most of all the people who must live near it. The ones who work for a living little or no better than their idle neighbours. The ones who - while Labour bribes those neighbours into continuing dependency - see their wages held down because Labour imports voting fodder from the Third World.
No wonder we have gangs roaming our streets. Consider the example set by the Labour Party - the sole political force in those parts and itself - essentially - a criminal gang. It extorts money using the might of the State and deploys it for political gain - to keep the gang members in their lucrative posts. Meanwhile more and more fall into dependence on a benefits system which has "Labour" stamped all through it like a stick of seaside rock.
For all the reasons Heffer states, the Labour Party is the greatest enemy our working class has known since Lord Kitchener sent them in their millions to die in the last feudal war. I hate it with a passion. Simon Heffer has articulated why.
Link: 'John Prescott to stand down as MP'.
Oh, the lecherous, freeloading old bruiser was an MP was he? I didn't know that. I thought he was some kind of National Fool, employed at the taxpayers' expense (of course) to wear cap and bells to cheer up an oppressed people.
The question is this. Who is the political heir to the compromising 10x8's whose existence can be inferred from his remaining in clover for 37 years?
Link: Outrage at 500,000 DNA database mistakes - Telegraph.
"Outrage" is one of those headline words rarely used in ordinary life. I can't say I am "outraged" by yet another example of the incompetence of the British State. To be outraged, or even disappointed, I would have to have some expectation of quality. Nothing in my experience of dealing with it (which is as limited as I could possibly contrive) has given me any such expectation.
I do not understand why, faced with any problem, the British knee-jerk reaction is to call on the State to fix it. The State's solution is almost always worse than the problem itself.
To look on the positive side, given that our countrymen seem determined to give all their freedoms away, the heroic incompetence of the State is our best hope of a life undisturbed. Like so many of the older people in the former Communist countries I have lived in for the past 15 years, we shall have to learn the art of living a free life in the cracks of a totalitarian society.
Link: McCanns call for media obsession to end - Telegraph.
Gerry McCann says it all.
He and his wife did everything they could to engineer the media frenzy of which he now complains. They did so contrary to the advice - so it was said at the outset - of the Portuguese police. Given full scope, the tabloid journalists have really gone to town. They have trashed the life of a suspect falsely accused by one of them. No doubt she impressed her ediitor with the resulting coverage, the unscrupulous minx.
They have insulted the Portuguese police, who have been made out to be country bumpkins by an arrogant British press corps (and some attention-seeking British police officers, current and retired). They have damaged Britain's relations with her oldest ally and made a circus out of a tragedy. In the end, as they always do in looking for a new angle on a stale story, they turned on the protagonists themselves - reporting (quite possibly made-up) "allegations" that the McCanns were suspects.
They have sold a lot of newspapers (and Sky subscriptions) by pandering to the low Diana-ish sentimentality of the British working classes, but they have not helped to find the missing girl - for all their sanctimonious professions of concern.
As a libertarian, I defend the McCanns' choice as to how to deal with their awful situation. I would also defend the right of the Press to cover stories exactly as they please. Freedom includes the right to be wrong; to make mistakes, or it is nothing. The McCanns and the British Press have made full use of that right.
I only hope that it does not now emerge that the media hoo-hah panicked Madeleine's abductors into killing her. The McCanns have enough to deal with without that.
Link: 'Rhys police hunt teenage killer'.
My more sentimental readers will expect me to begin with a ritual expression of sympathy with the family of this murdered boy. However, I don't know them and I didn't know him so it would be entirely meaningless. Millions die ungrieved by anyone but their family and the whole tabloid notion of "Liverpool in mourning" or even "a nation in mourning" is a crock.
Maudlin sentimentalism is part of the disease eating away at the British psyche. It would be far better for those directly concerned (e.g. the police hunting the killer) to get on with their jobs in calm and professional way, without being required to get synthetically emotional. I am sure they know where their sympathies lie. Who wouldn't? Why distract and degrade them by requiring Dianian bleating and Blairite lip-trembling? It would also be better for the friends and family of the distraught parents to gather around and do their bit, without the distraction of public events attended by the same sort of people who rubberneck at car crashes.
Consider, for example, the spectacle of the parents paraded before the television cameras in their pitiable condition. They were still talking about Rhys in the present tense. They have not yet even begun to grieve properly. There was not even the usual fig-leaf of an excuse for such exploitative programming - such as is offered when a (blonde, white, blue-eyed, female) child goes missing. No leads will be generated. No public appeal is justified. No purpose was served by that interview other than to satisfy the viewers' schadenfreude.
Britain's viewing public seems neither to know shame, nor to have any concept of decency. While the journalists should be ashamed of themselves, their viewers are more to blame. Yes, it was the journos who held the cameras mercilessly on the Joneses as they dissolved into wordless agonies. But anyone who did not turn off that scene of torture, was the author of it. It would not happen if it spiked the viewing figures in the opposite direction.
The whole "missing Madeleine" saga was similar. Those of you who shed a tear, go "aaah" and secretly enjoy the fact that it's not you, are to blame. Professional police work may finally bring that sad story to an end. The emotional appeals, the wave of fake public sympathy and the sickening exploitative journalism did no good and may have done much harm. The reaction of the Portuguese police at the outset (that by raising such a ballyhoo, the mad British might be forcing her abductors to kill her) was perfectly sensible.
Those who think me hard should remember the tabloid emotionalism of Ian Huntley, who pretended to be part of the search for (blonde, white, blue-eyed, female) Holly and Jessica, having already killed them them and disposed of their bodies. He was faking it. How many others who got their five minutes of fame by giving lip-trembling interviews were faking it too?
Grief is solemn and important. It is not to be debased into a plaything for the masses.
Is British sang-froid gone for ever? Are we doomed to the decadence of afternoon TV emotionalism? Surely not? If we could regain emotional balance perhaps we (and our judges, who come from the same decaying society as us) might also be less susceptible to criminals' pleas in mitigation based on "social deprivation" and other such pathetic (in all senses) excuses.
Link: 'Record number of people leave UK'.
If staff turnover increases in a private business it will conduct "exit interviews" with leavers to find out why. Losing experienced staff who understand the business is a bad idea, as is wasting cost on recruitment and training.
"Perception of crime is another of the main reasons for people wanting to leave,"
Isn't it enough to be driven out of your home country, without suggestions it is your "perception" that is at fault?
Today I rested after my journey from the South of France, before returning to Moscow tomorrow. I had the pleasure of meeting my friend from Second Life and fellow blogger Bag for a lunchtime drink in my home town in Northern England.
It was rather surreal that we were able to recognise each other on first meeting as we look like our SL avatars. I am pleased to report that Bag (pictured, dancing at the Blogpower Awards) is just as nice a guy in RL as SL, if not quite as exotically-dressed .
Claudia and I will set out early this morning to drive the 1658 km home from the South of France.
Much refreshed after my holiday, I am looking forward to this trip. Blogging will be light as our overnight stop is not endowed with broadband. Normal service will be resumed, deo volenti, as soon as possible.

Praxis Exam Core
Praxis Proctored / By andrew
Praxis Exam Core/Extracurricular In October 2015, the National Board approved the request to seek publication of a dossier which alleged that Guamananda is aware that she does not have her birth certificate – a title many believe holds no water as that law restricts its dissemination. According to the fact sheet that led to the decision, Guamananda had no public role in political matters and subsequently exercised her Constitutional right to publish it at the last minute. In 2012 Guamananda sought the publication of the dossier after it was written by Arun Ghomeshi and Maryann Mahajan with the assistance of other legal advisers, including Bill C-57 (now passed by Parliament later this year) and the Immigration Minister Matt Canavan. The centre, which has been operating for a few years in the North since 2008 according to Guamananda's lawyer and not her official employer, is part of a consortium of researchers, lawyers, journalists, commentators and institutions to collect and interpret the published research. In April 2016, though, the investigation by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which took time for Guamananda to conduct an even more critical examination of Guamananda's dossier, determined that she is the third she has ever been censured for statements outside of legitimate research which she admits to purporting to explore issues in human rights, who is also not part of the academic category. According to the dossier, when a researcher named A.J.
P. R. Abdul El-Haddad asked her the following, she replied: "I wish to ask only or attempt to provide feedback for colleagues or individuals," which according to the information released today in the file by the CCRI represents her own statements to them that she does not reveal whatsoever about herself. R. Abal al-Ghazazzani, a senior consultant to the project, told AFP the dossier says: After the publication of the information and discussion, Guamananda's credibility began to fall sharply, according to all records with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) which decided on "regrettable facts and circumstances" in August 2014 and appealed the decision. In light of this, the Commission has clarified its decision to launch an investigatory probe into Guamananda's correspondence with his friend and adviser A.J.
P. R. Abdul El-Haddad of the Aparangen Association for Civil Agrarian Dormits conducted in August 2014, including an interview with both the MP and his group concerning the NAP-BCD group's proposals for the Centre's Special Resource Services. El-Haddad was nominated by Guamananda to lead the commission and, in July 2016, won the PGP election in which she held one seat. After her election Guamananda assumed the role of CTC employee during that period and during her previous days in Europe worked for the NAP website, which, according to ECR, would continue to produce such material. Another former GCC advisor to Guamananda is that of A.J.
Adebayo, the Co-ordinator of the Center on the Human Rights of the University of Geneva, which until last year been part of the consortium conducting SIEH sessions in the Institute of Human Rights in Geneva. Hadhad, who also oversees the centre's activities, was registered as a person of interest for the Fianna Fáil (Fianna Fáil's only executive with full rights) in August 2015 and the year after. His political consultancy number said he had no registered political affiliation but did work various times with the National Socialists Party, which according to the details of his website, was the National Party's home seat. He also worked for the parties of Fianna Fáil, Interlaken and Limerick, along with George O'Sullivan, Secretary of State's Office (LOSO) and the Ulster Unionist Party Conference of the Alliance of Fine Gael-United First Party. To date, according to Professor Ramachandra Mhan, who focuses on human rights issues of the Human Rights Foundation or B.I.M.

Q: PyQt - Tabbed dialog not displaying embedded widgets I am trying to create a dialog with three tabs using PyQt. However, I am annoyed because although the dialog is displayed, the embedded widgets are not displayed!. I suppose this is a very simple problem with a correspondingly very simple solution, but I am struck! Can anyone give a hint? Thanks in advance!
Here is my code so far:
import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class TabbedDialog(QDialog):
   def __init__(self, parent = None):
      super(TabbedDialog, self).__init__(parent)

      self.tabWidget = QTabWidget()
      self.tabWidget.tab1 = QWidget()
      self.tabWidget.tab2 = QWidget()
      self.tabWidget.tab3 = QWidget()

      self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab1,"Tab 1")
      self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab2,"Tab 2")
      self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab3,"Tab 3")
      self.tab1UI()
      self.tab2UI()
      self.tab3UI()
      self.setWindowTitle("tab demo")

   def tab1UI(self):
      layout = QFormLayout()
      layout.addRow("Name",QLineEdit())
      layout.addRow("Address",QLineEdit())
      self.tabWidget.setTabText(0,"Contact Details")
      self.tabWidget.tab1.setLayout(layout)

   def tab2UI(self):
      layout = QFormLayout()
      sex = QHBoxLayout()
      sex.addWidget(QRadioButton("Male"))
      sex.addWidget(QRadioButton("Female"))
      layout.addRow(QLabel("Sex"),sex)
      layout.addRow("Date of Birth",QLineEdit())
      self.tabWidget.setTabText(1,"Personal Details")
      self.tabWidget.tab2.setLayout(layout)

   def tab3UI(self):
      layout = QHBoxLayout()
      layout.addWidget(QLabel("subjects"))
      layout.addWidget(QCheckBox("Physics"))
      layout.addWidget(QCheckBox("Maths"))
      self.tabWidget.setTabText(2,"Education Details")
      self.tabWidget.tab3.setLayout(layout)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    form = TabbedDialog()
    retval = form.exec_()

A: here is my solution to the problem
On the init method, I declared a layout, then added the 'tabWidget' widget to that layout and set that layout as the layout of your QDialog.
def __init__(self, parent = None):
  super(TabbedDialog, self).__init__(parent)

  self.tabWidget = QTabWidget()
  self.tabWidget.tab1 = QWidget()
  self.tabWidget.tab2 = QWidget()
  self.tabWidget.tab3 = QWidget()

  self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab1,"Tab 1")
  self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab2,"Tab 2")
  self.tabWidget.addTab(self.tabWidget.tab3,"Tab 3")
  self.tab1UI()
  self.tab2UI()
  self.tab3UI()
  self.setWindowTitle("tab demo")

  # Here is the addition to the code.
  mainLayout = QVBoxLayout()
  mainLayout.addWidget(self.tabWidget)
  self.setLayout(mainLayout)

Currently Reading: Chris Fehn's Lawsuit Against Slipknot's Business Manager Dismissed
Chris Fehn's Lawsuit Against Slipknot's Business Manager Dismissed
Nov 26th, 2019 - 12:21pm Posted by wookubus
Ousted Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn's individual claim against his former band's business manager Robert Shore was dismissed in a NY court this morning, November 26th. MetalSucks have words from the proceedings, which saw lawyers for both Fehn and Shore present when the dismissal of the claim was handed down.
Shore himself is now no longer named as an individual in the suit after the residing Justice Melissa Anne Crane found that there wasn't sufficient evidence tying him directly as a fiduciary to Fehn outside of his duties via his company to warrant the individual claim.
That said, Fehn's claim against Shore's music business management company, Rob Shore & Associates, has been allowed to proceed for now. Further motions for dismissal from Fehn's claims against both Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Michael Shawn Crahan are now set to be heard on January 03rd, 2020.
As previously reported, Taylor and Crahan are seeking to have Fehn's claim against them dismissed on account of jurisdiction due to it being filed in the state of New York. The pair claimed to have no presence or business ties/dealings within that state outside of live shows.
Also due to be heard on January 03rd is a claim for dismissal by Slipknot's business-related entities on account of 'failing to state a cause of action' for the claims against them. More details on today's proceedings can be found over at MetalSucks.
As for the suit itself, Fehn launched it against Taylor, Crahan, the aforementioned Shore and his Rob Shore & Associates and several Slipknot-related business entities (Slipknot Incorporated, Knot Merch LLC, SK Productions, LLC, SK Touring, Inc. and Knot Touring LLC) earlier this year.
He claimed that Taylor and Crahan, with assistance from Shore, had set up several of the entities without his knowledge and were enriching themselves via said entities outside of a general partnership he claimed was established back in 1999 regarding the band's business interests.
Fehn claimed to have only found out about the other business entities during negotiations for what would become the band's latest album, "We Are Not Your Kind". He was fired from the group this past March shortly after filing the suit. More details regarding the original lawsuit can be found here.
For his part, Fehn is said to be seeking an accounting of the Slipknot business structure during his time in the band in a bid to establish any potential damages/lost income. He is also said to be seeking to impose a trust in regards to the Slipknot trademarks in regards to future profits which he feels entitled to (presumably in regards to older merch designs, album sales, etc.).

Feb 4 (Reuters) - IDBI Bank Ltd on Monday reported a loss for the ninth straight quarter, as provisions for bad loans continued to remain elevated and interest income declined.
Net loss widened to 41.85 billion rupees ($583.93 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31, from a loss of 15.24 billion rupees a year earlier, said here IDBI, which is now majority owned by Life Insurance Corp (LIC).
Provisions for bad loans climbed nearly 40 percent to 50.75 billion rupees.
However, asset quality improved, with gross bad loans as a percentage of total loans easing to 29.67 percent at end-December, from 31.78 percent at end-September. This was still higher than 24.72 percent a year earlier.

HomePotato Pancake, Sure. But Can You Call It A Latke?
Potato Pancake, Sure. But Can You Call It A Latke?
by Rachel Ellner
Image by Alyssa Ringler
Unlikely Latke: Garden Court Café's potato pancake with shrimp isn't showing up at a Hanukkah party anytime soon.
There was a lot of talk about grandmothers at the 9th Annual Latke Festival, held during Hannukah at the Brooklyn Museum: their recipes, their knuckles, their advice and their place at the hot stove.
But no admitted Jewish grandmothers were on hand at the festival to insist on proper latkes. So what makes a latke a latke — and what makes it Jewish? The festival offered a world of possibilities while anointing two winners in its latke-making competition, one that expanded on the addition of traditional Central European ingredients while the other reflected global influences.
Shelsky's Latke Wins People's Choice At Latke Fest — Again
Liza SchoenfeinDecember 20, 2017
The festival encouraged creativity. The only guideline for the 20-plus latke makers, who were mainly chefs from New York City restaurants, was that they provide tasting-size portions. Otherwise, there were no rules.
Well, you can imagine the results. Latke toppings included lobster salad with aioli, rock shrimp with spicy lobster sauce, and heritage pork belly — or "the global market," as festival organizer Liz Neumark put it.
Fillings included plantains, duck, shitake mushrooms, Swiss cheese, raw shrimp, Huitlacoche (corn smut) and falafel.
"The latke belongs to the world now," said Neumark. It seems that creating a potato pancake that was crispy on the outside; soft on the inside was enough to qualify. But expanding the brand clearly didn't mean watering it down.
Grandma-Approved
Chief Maria Zizak, of Brooklyn's Korzo, came close to a grandma approach before veering off into a degree of creativity. "It has to have potatoes and eggs and very little flour," she said. "We also put in raw apple slices and raisins. We are from North Country Slovakia..The raisins give it a sweet caramelized taste."
Dmytro Martseniuk, executive chef at Veselka in Manhattan, also started with a standard preparation. "I'm from Ukraine," he said. "I'm using ground onion, potato, eggs, flour, salt and pepper." Then he added mushrooms to the mix. "In Ukraine it's one of the best dishes," he said of the potato pancake. "We sell thousands of them at Veselka. We make them non-stop."
Scott Natale, executive chef at Burger & Lobster in Manhattan, said, "I go strictly traditional, with potato and matzo meal. This is what my grandmother always made: matzo meal, egg, potato, grated onion… pretty simple. I seasoned it like an everything bagel. I added some sesame, some poppy seeds and roasted garlic."
Innovative Interpretations
"Being in New York City we try to make it different with raw shrimp, curry leaf, and a curry base," said Garden Court Café chef Tsering Nyima. "And I make the sauce with lobster broth."

Dizzy's Club chef Corey Samuel added smoked duck to his latke and fried it in duck fat.
Chef Corey Samuel of Dizzy's Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan said he "wanted to take some things from my South Carolina heritage. I eat a lot of duck. We smoke a lot of duck. I cured the duck for three days for the festival. I smoked it for four or five hours." One of his secrets: Cook the latkes in duck fat.
Saul Bolton, executive chef at The Norm at the Brooklyn Museum, also went with duck: "Smoked duck breast and some Katchkie Farm rhubarb, tinted with hibiscus and with a little bit of ginger so the red comes from the hibiscus and not from hot-house rhubarb," he said.
Talking about the evening's ingredient mashups, Ilene Rosen of R&D Foods in Brooklyn mused, "What makes it Jewish? I don't have an exact answer for that. Our inspiration is the food we make on a daily basis. I think about potatoes as a root and go from there — and trying to make something vegetarian that isn't tricked up with duck, coffee or salmon, something traditional." She showed off her latke: "In this we have beet, onion, horseradish and carrot," she said.
"I believe just fried potato," said Cabot chef Jimmy Kennedy, who grew up in northeast Mississippi. He notes that latkes are "so pervasive in New York City culture. There are so many fine Jewish Eastern European traditions here."
His offering at the festival? "It's actually very Mexican. The wheat cuitlacoche — in Iowa it's called corn smut. We actually threw it away. But traveling in Central America I realized it was a very specific ingredient, considered a delicacy. They had it in very fine restaurants and I fell in love with it and I've been putting it on my scrambled eggs and everything else you can think of ever since."
And the Winners…
The festival judges said they enjoyed the tinkering, but tended toward the traditional.
Naama Shefi, executive director of the Jewish Food Society extolled tradition. "Latkes are ideally from potato, with very few extras: very crispy from the outside; very moist from the inside," she said.
Meet the Founder of the Brand New Jewish Food Society
Leah KoenigNovember 28, 2016
She also talked about the festival's aroma. "There is a smell. I just walked in tonight and there's a Jewish smell. It often time comes from fried onion. Hence my latke would have onion."
Another judge, Peter Kim, executive director of the Museum of Food and Drink, said, "I'm a latke purist. For me it's all about the earthy potato flavor, the crisp golden texture on the outside. I like a little crispy edged. I like to be able to feel the shreds and not for it to be a pulpy mix of potatoes. For me that's the heart and soul and the backbone of the latke."
Ralph Gardner, author and journalist, said, "The potato is key. You can embellish it with all kinds of stuff but if the potato is not done to perfection you're in trouble. Also I believe that latkes that have lox on them are great because you can't go wrong with smoked salmon."
The judges, for all their talk about tradition, chose for first place a plantain, sweet potato and tortilla latke with ancho-braised chicken, pickled onion and crema. From Brooklyn's Benchmark Restaurant, it was yummy enough for grandma, but I doubt she'd call that a latke.
The festival attendees seemed to echo the sentiments of the judges I talked to. Their choice — The People's Choice Award — went to Peter Shelsky of Shelsky's of Brooklyn. His "Latke Reuben" was a caraway-seed-studded latke stuffed with Riesling-braised sauerkraut and Swiss cheese, topped with Russian dressing and corned beef — all ingredients recognizable to grandmas from Eastern Europe, even if they might not call the assemblage a latke.
What ultimately defines a latke as Jewish is its connection to Hanukkah. The holiday should not become an afterthought to the latke, of course. But, said Neumark, "There's so little around Hanukkah. It's the latke that takes the stage, and that is so cool." The take-away from all the glorious culinary experimentation of the latke? For some of us, it's to eat them all year round.
Rachel Ellner is a food and cultural affairs reporter. Her last story for The Forward was on the meal four top Israeli chefs would prepare for the Jewish Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot.
Is This Potato Pancake A Latke?
Shelsky's
