Is U.S. Dist. Judge Donald L. Graham Willfully Defying The United States Supreme Court?
""Thumbing your nose at the U.S. Supreme Court is almost unheard of in the judicial system," said Kary Moss, ACLU of Michigan Executive Director." U.S. District Judge Donald L. Graham made a command decision on his own motion to restrict Marcellus M. Mason's right of access to the courts without giving him due process of law or notice and opportunity's respond prior to the issuance of a pre-filing injunction on September 20, 2001. This denial represents an apparent snub and disdain for the United States Supreme Court and the Congress. Even more outrageous, is that the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal, has given its stamp of approval to Judge Graham's disdain and contempt for the United States Supreme Court. The Eleventh Circuit has made the value judgment that Judge Graham's career and reputation is more important than the life of a nobody like Marcellus M. Mason Jr. If Judge Graham and his enablers won't respect the law and the United States Supreme Court then who should?
The Act That Defies the U.S. Supreme Court
On September 20, 2001, Judge Graham rendered a pre-fling injunction sua sponte, or on his motion and without notice to the litigant Marcellus M. Mason. See Docket Entry Number 878, (D.E. # 878) . Page 3, of this document boldly asserts: THIS CAUSE came before the Court sua sponte. APPELLATE HISTORY. This injunction is commonly referred to under several different names: "leave to file injunction", "vexatious litigant injunction", "pre-filing injunction", "filing injunction", "1651 injunction". This same injunction that was issued without notice and opportunity to respond also makes a "finding of bad faith". At pages 5 and 6, Judge Graham specifically states:
It has become clear to the Court that Mason is proceeding in bad faith…Such activity is in bad faith and will not be permitted by the Court.
The sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction is unlawful for numerous reasons.
Definition of Willful
WILLFULLY – Committed voluntarily and purposely, with the specific intent to do something; voluntarily and intentionally assisting or advising another to do something that the person knows disobeys or disregards the law. A person does not act "willfully" if the person acts as a result of a good faith misunderstanding of the requirements of the law. See http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/w014.htm
Premise of This Post
Is Judge Donald L. Graham guilty of willfully defying the orders and opinions of the United States Supreme Court? If the reader wants to believe that Judge Graham is not willfully defying the United States Supreme Court in this case, then the reader will have to necessarily assume that Judge Graham is too stupid to know the law or is not competent. Judge Graham is many things, but not stupid and incompetent. This post will demonstrate that Judge Graham is arrogant and reckless. Defenders of Judge Graham who would say that his behavior has not been willful in this matter would have to make the following assumptions:
Well established legal principles that Judge Graham is legally presumed to know the law is not applicable in this matter.
Judge Graham, a federal Judge since 1992, has not read or is not otherwise familiar with the Eleventh Circuit's or any of the other U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals opinions on pre-filing injunctions. Inherent in this assumption, you would also have to include the notion that Judge Graham who has free access to legal research services, Westlaw, Lexis Nexis, and host of free Internet Services such as Lexisone, Findlaw, and others, does not have access to the law. You would also have to assume, incorrectly, that the S.D. Fla. does not have a law library.
Judge Graham does not know that the right of access to the courts is constitutionally protected.
Judge Graham, a federal Judge since 1992, has not read or is not otherwise familiar with any of the Supreme Court's many decisions dealing with the right of access to the courts
Judge Graham, a federal Judge since 1992, has not read or is not otherwise familiar with any of the Supreme Court's many decisions dealing with due process.
The Supreme Court Says that A Judgment Issued in Violation of Due Process is Void
"A judgment rendered in violation of due process is void in the rendering State and is not entitled to full faith and credit elsewhere." World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286 (1980). "[T]he constitution, by prohibiting an act, renders it void, if done; otherwise, the prohibition were nugatory. Thus, the warrant is a nullity." Anderson v. Dunn, 19 U.S. 204, 217 (1821). "'No judgment of a court is due process of law, if rendered without jurisdiction in the court, or without notice to the party." Old Wayne Mut. Life Ass'n v. McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 15 (1907). "A void judgment is from its inception a legal nullity." Boch Oldsmobile, at 909 F.2d 657, 661 (1st Cir. 1990). Lops v. Lops, 140 F.3d 927, 941 n. 19 (11th Cir. 1998) ("something that is null has no legal or binding force."); Carter v. Fenner, at 136 F.3d 1000 (5th Cir. 1998)("[a] void judgement is one which, from its inception, was a complete nullity and without legal effect."). "Courts are constituted by authority, and they cannot go beyond the power delegated to them. If they act beyond that authority, and certainly in contravention of it, their judgments and orders are regarded as nullities. They are not voidable, but simply void, and this even prior to reversal." Valley v. Northern Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 254 U.S. 348, 354 (1920).
Proof No. 1
A judge is legally presumed to know the law. U.S. v. HUMPHREYS (11th Cir. 1992). "Trial judges are presumed to know the law…" WALTON v. ARIZONA, 497 U.S. 639 (1990). The Eleventh Circuit and other courts are quick to assert this fact when a judge does not affirmatively address an aspect of law in a decision or opinion. Given this presumption, there is no reason not to apply it to this situation.
The best evidence that Judge Grahams knows that the right of access to the courts is constitutionally protected is Judge Graham's own writing in the very sua sponte issued prefiling injunction of September 20, 2001. In this order, Teflon Don states:
This screening requirement best balances the interest in constitutionally mandated access to the federal courts with the need to protect the Court's jurisdiction and integrity.
See pg. 7, Docket No. 878, (D.E. #878).
"Courts as well as citizens are not free 'to ignore all the procedures of the law….'. The 'constitutional freedom' of which the Court speaks can be won only if judges honor the Constitution." Walker v. City Of Birmingham, 388 U.S. 307, 338 (1967)(Mr. Justice Douglas, dissenting). "Due process is perhaps the most majestic concept in our whole, constitutional system." Joint Anti-Fascist Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 174 (1951) (Justice Frankfurter, concurring). It is ingrained in our national traditions, and is designed to maintain them. In a variety of situations, the Court has enforced this requirement by checking attempts of executives, legislatures, and lower courts to disregard the deep-rooted demands of fair play enshrined in the Constitution." id. 161. "Fairness of procedure is "due process in the primary sense." Brinkerhoff-Faris Co. v. Hill, 281 U. S. 673, 281 U. S. 681. In a long line of cases, the United States Supreme Court has held that impingements of constitutional rights are, without variation, subject to the strictures of "due process" or notice and opportunity to be heard prior to their enactments. Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 313 (1950); Anti-Fascist Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123 (1951); Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970), Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67 (1972); Owen v. City Of Independence, 445 U.S. 622 (1980); Carey v.Piphus, 435 U.S. 247, 259 (1978); Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 333 (1976).
Judge Graham knows that a constitutionally protected right is subject to due process. RODRIGUEZ v US, 169 F.3d 1342 (11th Cir. 1999) was a case about due process in which Judge Donald L. Graham presided over at the district court level, Case No. 97-1182-CV-DLG. See Findlaw.com, vlex.com. RODRIGUEZ cites Mathews v. Diaz, 426 U.S. 67 (1976)("all persons, aliens and citizens alike, are protected by the Due Process Clause"). It is crystal clear that Judge Graham knows of the Supreme Court's definition and affinity for due process. Even more compelling evidence that Judge Graham knew the law is Judge Graham's own writings. At pages 6 and 7, of the sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction, (DE #878), Judge Graham cites three cases for his nefarious deeds: Copeland v. Green, 949 F.2d 390 (11th Cir. 1991); Procup v. Strickland, 792 F.2d 1069, 1074 (11th Cir. 1986)(en banc)); Cofield v. Alabama Pub. Serv. Comm'n, 936 F.2d 512, 518 (11th Cir. 1991). In Copeland v. Green, 949 F.2d 390 (11th Cir. 1991) the court lays out the procedure followed by the trial court or district court prior to issuing a pre-filing injunction. In Copeland, the court noted: "The district court entered an order requiring Copeland to appear and show cause why he should not be sanctioned for this abuse of his access to the court." It is quite clear that the litigant in Copeland received notice and opportunity to respond prior to the issuance of the pre-filing injunction. Judge BARD TJOFLAT's dissent in Procup v. Strickland, 792 F.2d 1069, 1074 (11th Cir. 1986)(en banc)), "The district court, noting the volume and nature of Procup's previous litigation, issued an order to show cause why an injunction should not issue prohibiting Procup from filing any further pleadings in the district court." Lastly, in Cofield v. Alabama Pub. Serv. Comm'n, 936 F.2d 512, 518 (11th Cir. 1991) the court noted that "the district court, sua sponte, issued an order to show cause asking why Cofield should not be sanctioned for his overly litigious behavior." What better evidence of willfulness than Judge Graham's own writings!
Judge Graham presided over Damiano v. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 104 F.3d 328 (11th Cir. 1997) in S.D. Fla. Case No. 90-8415 CIV-DLG. See Findlaw.com. This case in no small part addresses itself to due process and the Supreme Court's landmark case on the sufficiency of due process, Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 317-20 , 70 S.Ct. 652, 658-60, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950). This opinion expressly cites Mullane. Consequently, it can not be argued that Judge Graham is not aware of the requirements of due process unless you assume that Judge Graham does not read his own cases.
Judge Graham played to what he thought was ignorance on the part of Marcellus Mason. Judge Graham cites a host of different cases to support the idea that he can restrict the filings of a litigant. Judge Graham is very slick and he knew that Mason had acquired the ability to do legal research when he rendered the sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction, consequently Judge Graham made a conscious decision not to cite any any of the cases listed below that deal specifically with pre-filing injunctions . The cases cited by Judge Graham do not address pre-filing injunctions specifically. Peck v. Hoff, 660 F.2d 371 (8th Cir. 1981) is concerned with procedures for denying in forma pauperis. Incidentally, Judge Graham has defied the U.S. Supreme Court by defying in forma pauperis motions on some 18 occasions by refusing to offer a legally sufficient reason for these denials. See this site, post "Florida Judge Thumbs His Nose at U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on Poor People's Right to Access The Courts". In re McDonald, 489 U.S. 180, 184 n.8 (1989), this citation stands for the proposition of inherent power generally and not the procedures in involved in invoking "inherent power". Martin Trigona v. Shaw, 986 F.2d 1384, 1387 (11th Cir. 1993) this case deals with the authority to issue a pre-filing injunction, but not with the procedures for imposing an injunction, Cope v. Green, 949 F.2d 390 (11th Cir. 1991), Procup v. Strickland, 792 F.2d 1069, 1074 (11th Cir. 1986)(en banc)) ,
Judge Graham claims that he has inherent power to render a pre-filing injunction. See pgs. 6,7 (D.E. #878). The United States Supreme Court has stated:
"A court must, of course, exercise caution in invoking its inherent power, and it must comply with the mandates of due process, both in determining that the requisite bad faith exists and in assessing fees." (emphasis added) Chambers v. Nasco, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 50 (1991). Are we to believe that a federal judge who relies upon "inherent power" to issue an order is unaware of Supreme Court's Chambers opinion? At the latest, Judge Graham would have became aware of Chambers would have been on October 16, 2002 when the Eleventh Circuit rendered their opinion and actually cited Chambers. See Appeal From Hell Opinion, pg. 10. As stated above, this appeal is joke and an exercise in artifice and dishonesty. See "Eleventh Circuit Case No. 01-13664: The Appeal From Hell". What has stopped Judge Graham from coming forward and admitting error?
Judge Graham has had numerous filings and documents since the institution of the sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 that expressly quotes and cites the United States Supreme Court and others, but yet Teflon Don has been intransigent and has sat on his ass and did nothing. One of these filings was a judicial misconduct complaint, 05-0011 that was submitted January 31, 2005. This complaint specifically mentions Chambers v. Nasco, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 50 (1991). On or about February 5, 2005, Judge Graham received a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in Eleventh Circuit Case No. 05-10623 that specifically mentions Chambers and a host of other legal authorities setting forth the due process requirements involved in issuing pre-filing injunctions. See pages 8-10, Petition for Writ of Mandamus. On or about February 13, 2004, Judge Graham received a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in Eleventh Circuit Case No. 04-11894 that specifically mentions Chambers and a host of other legal authorities setting forth the due process requirements involved in issuing pre-filing injunctions. See pages 11-15, Mandamus Petition. Judge Graham is in possession of a letter that mailed to him on May 3, 2008 that specifically sets forth Supreme Court requirements with respect to due process and the right of access to the courts and as of this date, May 31 2008, Judge Graham has refused to comply with the decisions and orders of the Supreme Court. On September 7, 2002, Judge Graham received a "MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT, PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY, PLAINTIFF'S DEMAND TO RESCIND INJUNCTION FORTHWITH, AND PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PUBLICATION", (D.E. 914). At pages 10-14, this motion specifically sets forth the legal requirements for issuing a pre-filing injunction and for invoking the "inherent power" of the court according to the United States Supreme Court. On January 31, 2003, Judge Graham rejected the authority of the United States Supreme Court. See (D.E. #928).
Enabling Acts of the Eleventh Circuit
Judge Graham and his enablers at the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal see nothing wrong with Judge Graham disrespecting the United States Supreme Court. In what can only be described as a pure act of artifice and dishonesty, the Eleventh Circuit struck Marcellus M. Mason's brief in a direct appeal, Case No. 01-13664, for arguing that the sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 was not lawful because they said it was "beyond the scope of appeal"; however, when the Eleventh Circuit decided the appeal it then used the same sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 to affirm Judge Graham. Equally remarkable is the fact that the Eleventh Circuit was quite unwilling to pass on the validity of this very same sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001. See full story at "Eleventh Circuit Case No. 01-13664: The Appeal From Hell". This a remarkable opinion that mocks the idea of "judicial independence".
Judge Graham criminalized his own his disrespect and contempt for the United States Supreme Court by making the same sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 the subject of a criminal contempt complaint. The Eleventh Circuit knew of this concocted criminalization and disdain for the United States Supreme Court by Teflon Don, but yet it sat idly by and did nothing while the clearly void sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 being used to persecute and oppress Marcellus Mason. The Eleventh Circuit has deployed acts of artifice and dishonesty to avoid reviewing the sua sponte issued pre-filing injunction of September 20, 2001 for validity. See post this site, "Eleventh Circuit Sits Idly By While A Clearly Void Sua Sponte Issued Pre-Filing Injunction Wreaks Havoc On A Man's Life".
Courts have felt that the notice and opportunity to respond was so important that they have reversed district courts even where they thought the pre-filing injunction was otherwise valid. See Oliver, In re, 682 F.2d 443, 446 (C.A.3 (Pa.), 1982); Scott v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage , 2005 U.S. App. LEXIS 15709,*;143 Fed. Appx. 525(4th Cir. 2005); Gagliardi v. McWilliams, 834 F.2d 81, 83 (3d Cir. 1987).

It is not surprising that Judge Graham, a district judge, would disagree with the Fifth Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal because Judge Graham has similarly disagreed with the United States Supreme Court. See Postings this site, Florida Judge Thumbs His Nose at U.S. Supreme Court Rulings on Due Process And Attorneys' Fees and Florida Judge Thumbs His Nose at U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on Poor People's Right to Access The Courts.
In Test Masters Educational Services, Inc. v. Singh, 428 F.3d 559 (Fed. 5th Cir., 2005), the district court "enjoined Singh from "communicating directly with, threatening, or harassing Test Masters Educational Services, Inc., its employees, staff, counsel, counsel's employees, or counsel's staff." Similarly, Judge Graham "enjoined" Mason from communicating with his local government, Highlands County Board of County Commissioners. However, Judge Vanessa D Gilmore in Test Masters who was reversed, while Judge Graham has escaped appellate review because the Eleventh Circuit has declined to review his orders or injunctions for validity in what has to be a record number of times. See this site's posting "Eleventh Circuit Repeatedly Refuses To Review Orders For Validity". Yet again, Judge Graham has avoided appellate rebuke while his colleagues have not been so fortunate. Judge Graham has frequently benefited by such disparate treatment. See postings, "Eleventh Circuit Uses Same Set of Facts To Reverse One Florida Judge While Affirming Another Florida Judge" and ""Teflon Don" Avoids Reversal While Colleague Judge Ursula Ungaro-Benages Suffers Reversal". The myth of the "Teflon Don" grows larger!
Judge Graham Disagreements With The Fifth Circuit
Judge Graham has multiple disagreements with the Fifth Circuit. Specifically, "Teflon Don", holds the following disagreements with the Fifth Circuit:
Judge Grahams disagrees that his orders or injunctions but "pre-trial discovery issues".
Judge Graham has ruled that Federal Magistrate, Frank Lynch, Jr. may issue an injunction so long as he calls it a "pre-trial discovery issue and not an injunction per se"
Judge Graham can prohibit or enjoin direct communication between a pro se Plaintiff and his local government
Judge Graham is not required to comply with Rule 65, Fed.R.Civ.P.
Judge Graham has the power to dismiss a lawsuit due to lawful out of court communications with the Government
Judge Graham's Injunction or "Pretrial Discovery Issue and Not An Injunction Per Se"
Judge Graham's Magistrate, Frank Lynch, Jr., rendered the following orders on June 19, 2000 and July 25, 2000, which in part stated:
(DE #246).This order is dated July 25, 2000.
Judge Graham has expressly stated that the issuance of the injunctions by Magistrate Judge Frank Lynch, Jr. was not "clearly erroneous nor is it contrary to law." See Docket Entry No. 407.
Communications Outlawed by Judge Graham
Judge Graham dismissed a lawsuit because out of court communications with a local government. See Report and Recommendation, "R&R",(DE #766); Order Adopting R&R, (DE #791). Highlands County filed motions for sanctions in the form of dismissal for the following conversations.
During the week of February 5, 2001, Plaintiff knowingly violated this Court's Orders of June 19, 200 and July 25, 2000. Plaintiff appeared at the office of Fred Carino, Human Resource Director of Highlands County and a supervisory employee of a named defendant in this action, and demanded to view his personnel file. This request was made directly to Mr. Carino's office and not through Defendant Highlands County's counsel.
D.E. 511, ¶6, PG.3).
Plaintiff sent e-mail communications directly to supervisory employees of the Defendants, which discussed the "no trespass warnings" that were issued against Plaintiff,...
D.E. 646, ¶10, PG.3). Judge Graham was adamant that Mason not talk to the Highlands County Government. As a matter of fact, three months after the case was closed, Judge Graham said:
[I]ncluding continual attempts to directly communicate with the Defendants rather their attorneys, the Court enjoined Mason from any further contact with the Defendants or Defendants" employees. Mason, however, ignored the Court's order and continued to contact the Defendants…On June 20, 2001, in view of Mason's repeated refusal to comply with the Court's rules and orders, the Court dismissed case number 99-14027.
See Docket No. 878, pgs. 4-5. God damn it, I told you not to talk to the government!
Acrimony and Vitriol Between the Test Master's Litigants
The district court's injunction was prompted by allegations from TES that Singh and his employees had called TES dozens of times a day, including seventy-one times on one day in May 2003. TES alleged that the calls included the screaming of obscenities. TES also claims that Singh's counsel, Sharon Naim, contacted TES's president, Roger Israni, and threatened to file suit against TES in other states. TES taped the phone conversation and offered it as evidence that Singh had Naim call Israni directly, which is against the rules of professional conduct for lawyers. TES avers that another person acting on behalf of Singh called the accounting department of TES's counsel, pretended to be a TES staff member, and obtained billing and insurance information about TES. TES also recorded a conversation with another of Singh's counsel who called TES offices in August 2003, pretending to be a student in order to gain information about TES. TES contends that it has a recording of that conversation. Finally, TES alleges that Singh sent a letter to TES's insurer, informing the insurer that it should not cover TES's costs should TES lose in court. In addition, TES's counsel and Singh did engage in a verbal and physical altercation in the hallway outside the district courtroom in California after TES's counsel accused Singh of verbally and physically threatening them. Singh denies threatening TES's counsel. The district court in California had to order the parties and their counsels to go straight from the courtroom to their cars and threatened them with jail time if another incident occurred.
See Test Masters at 579.
Court's Legal Analysis
Prior restraints are "administrative and judicial orders forbidding certain communications when issued in advance of the time that such communications are to occur." Alexander v. United States, 509 U.S. 544, 550, 113 S.Ct. 2766, 125 L.Ed.2d 441 (1993). The district court's order enjoining Singh from having any future communication with the specified persons was a prior restraint. Any system of prior restraints on communication bears a heavy presumption against its constitutional validity. Bantam Books, Inc. v. Sullivan, 372 U.S. 58, 70, 83 S.Ct. 631, 9 L.Ed.2d 584 (1963) (quotation marks omitted). Prior restraints are unconstitutional limitations on free speech except in exceptional circumstances. Near v. Minnesota, 283 U.S. 697, 716, 51 S.Ct. 625, 75 L.Ed. 1357 (1931).
Court's Conclusion
The district court prohibited Singh from "communicating directly with . . . TES employees, staff or TES's counsel, counsel's employees, or counsel's staff." To quote selectively from the district court, the court found that the parties had demonstrated an "immaturity" and "mean-spirited[ness]," and that Singh was pursuing "vexatious litigation." However, despite the perhaps need of these parties to never speak again, the court did not detail, and the record does not reflect, any "exceptional circumstances" to justify permanently enjoining Singh from generally communicating with TES, TES's counsel and their staff and employees. The district court's order enjoining Singh from communicating with TES employees, TES's counsel, and its counsel's employees was a prior restraint limiting Singh's first amendment rights, and because the injunction order is not supported by exceptional circumstances, it is an unconstitutional restraint on Singh's free speech rights.Testmaster at 579.

Does A Mere Clause In a Sentence Represent Meaningful Appeal?
The Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal cited a mere clause in a sentence in an unpublished opinion and apparently considered this "meaningful appellate review" of Judge Graham's failure to disqualify. This appeal was captioned under Eleventh Circuit Case No. 01-13364 and Dist. Ct. Case No. 99-14027-CV-Graham/Lynch. This appeal was ultimately concluded with an unpublished opinion that to be kind and civil amounted to nothing more than dishonesty and a reckless disregard for the "rule of law". See Undermining An Appeal Right to see other ways this appeal was undermined.
It couldn't be more clear that the Judges at the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal, are not going to let the "rule of law" prohibit them from achieving their desired outcome-a total vindication of Judge Graham's miscreant behavior. This behavior is fully documented at: http://mmason.freeshell.org/CoreAllegations.htm
MOTION FOR REHEARING
The Eleventh Circuit was told of their "mistake" or omission of failing to decide whether Judge Graham should or disqualified or recused himself. Judge Stanley F. Birch, Jr., writing for the panel, rejected Mason's plea to consider whether Judge Graham should have disqualified or recused himself. On Jan 31, 2003, Judge Birch said: "The petition(s) for rehearing filed by appellant, Marcellus M. Mason, Jr., is DENIED." See Rehearing Denial Order.
Disqualification on Appeal
See Case Background Information.
On March 11, 2002, Marcellus Mason filed a brief with the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal that stated, among other things, Judge Graham should have disqualified or recused himself. See Appellant's Brief. This brief excoriates Judge Graham and accuses him of the following:
Usurping authority by allowing a Magistrate to render an injunction.
Usurping authority by prohibiting out of court direct communication with the government
Usurping authority by administering the Florida Public Records Act.
Intentionally lying and misrepresenting the law.
Mismanagement of the Case by Allowing scores of motions and filings to languish without being decided.
These allegations, and others, are fully documented at http://mmason.freeshell.org/CoreAllegations.htm.
Meaningless Appeal
On October 16, 2002, Judges Stanley F. Birch, Jr., Susan H. Black, and Stanley Marcus asserted:
"Mason also raises issues that relate to non-sanction matters, e.g., .. the denial of his motions to disqualify the district court and magistrate judges…"
See Opinion, page 10. This is the sum total of appellate review as to whether Judge Donald L. Graham should have been disqualified due to misconduct. The "opinion" is 14 pages long. There is absolutely no discussion as to whether the allegations of misconduct are true or not.
Rehearing Motion
Subsequent to the Eleventh Circuit's failure to decide whether or not Judge Graham should have disqualified or recuse in their "opinion", Mason filed motion informing the Court of this "oversight" or failure.
This Court's opinion does not address whether or not the district court abused his discretion by not disqualifying. Plaintiff raised this issue in his Initial Brief at pages 30-33. Mason contends that the district court is in violation of Canon 1, Canon 3, Code Of Conduct For United States Judges Code Of Conduct For United States Judges. Plaintiff's motion to disqualify was submitted on February 7, 2001, (Doc. 460), which was submitted prior to Defendants' motions for dismissal in the form of sanctions, the first of which was not submitted until March 2, 2001, (Doc. 511). The district judge should have never taken action on the Defendant's motion for dismissal that was submitted on March 2, 2001 because he was required to disqualify on Mason's motion submitted on February 7, 2001.
Pg. 13, Motion For Rehearing.
On Jan 31, 2003, Judge Birch said: "The petition(s) for rehearing filed by appellant, Marcellus M. Mason, Jr., is DENIED." See Rehearing Denial Order.
Compare Judge Graham To Judge Duross Fitzpatrick
In Chudasama v. Mazda Motor Corp., 123 F.3d 1353 (C.A.11 (Ga.), 1997), Judge Duross Fitzpatrick, Middle District of Georgia, the district court was excoriated for mismanagement of a case. This case involved the district court's failure to resolve discovery disputes and failure to decide motions. "Failure to consider and rule on significant pretrial motions before issuing dispositive orders can be an abuse of discretion." Chudasama, supra.

Will the Judges In the Eleventh Circuit Lie to Protect Judge Graham?
Will the Eleventh Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeal lie to protect Judge Donald L. Graham? The answer is a resounding yes.
Lying About Appellate Review Of Judge Graham's Disqualification The lie told by the Eleventh Circuit is really quite simple. As set forth below in Case No. 01-13664, the Eleventh Circuit declined to review the issue of whether Judge Graham should have disqualified or not due to alleged misconduct in their decision of October 16, 2002. However, sometime in early 2005, Marcellus Mason subsequently filed a petition for mandamus seeking appellate review as to whether or not Judge Graham should have disqualified due to alleged misconduct. On March 16, 2005, Case No. 05-10623, pg. 2, the Eleventh Circuit promptly lied by explicitly suggesting that they had reviewed this matter. This is dishonesty of the highest magnitude. Case No. 01-13664
In an unpublished opinion, [Case No. 01-13664] the Eleventh Circuit, Judges Stanley F. Birch, Jr., Susan H. Black, and Stanley Marcus have expressly stated that allegations of judicial misconduct are not reviewable on appeal. Theses allegations were not tested for veracity they were simply ignored. Specifically, in the opinion rendered on October 16, 2002, Judges Stanley F. Birch, Jr., Susan H. Black, and Stanley Marcus asserted:
See Opinion, page 10. This is the sum total of appellate review as to whether Judge Donald L. Graham should have been disqualified due to misconduct. There is absolutely no discussion as to whether the allegations of misconduct are true or not.
Eleventh Circuit Case No. 05-10623
On March 16, 2005, Case No. 05-10623, pg. 2, the Eleventh Circuit and Judge Rosemary Barkett asserted the following:
In this case, Mason is not entitled to the recusal of Judge Graham because final judgment has been entered in his employment discrimination case, and he raised Judge Graham's denial of his recusal motion on appeal.
This is a classical example of how a half- truth can be a lie because it is misleading. Mason did raise the issue of Judge Graham's failure to disqualify (Case No. 01-13664), however, as fully set forth and documented above, the Eleventh Circuit refused to review this issue or to test the veracity of the allegations of misconduct and abuse by Judge Graham which Mason had asserted in his brief.

Metal Sucks Metallica Add Second S&M2 Show for Fan Club Members Full Album Stream: East of the Wall, NP: Complete
Metallica Add Second S&M2 Show for Fan Club Members
March 26th, 2019 at 1:33pm
Last week, Metallica fan club members got rightfully ticked off (pun intended) when, despite a special pre-sale meant just for them, they weren't able to snag tickets to see the band's upcoming S&M2 (or S&M², as I guess we're meant to write it) twentieth anniversary show because scalpers' ticket bots scooped 'em all up.
Well, Metallica heard the complaints, and they're trying to make it up to fans by adding a second second S&M show, this one exclusively for subscribers of their Fifth Member fan club. The new show will take place on Sunday, September 8 (two days after the first second S&M show), also at the new Chase Center in San Francisco.
The band made the announcement via the below statement. Some of you will probably be less-than-thrilled to note that they don't specifically cite the ticket bot issue — they just say that "the supply of tickets fell way short of demand." But life is short, and it's not Metallica's fault that Ticketmaster and StubHub aren't taking stronger measures to shut these bots down. So just be glad they added another show, k?
Here's the statement:
"Wow… that's all we have to say! The response from the 'Tallica fan universe to the announcement of our show with the San Francisco Symphony blew us away, in fact, it was completely and totally overwhelming – thank you! However, we also understand that for a great number of you, it brought frustration and disappointment as the supply of tickets fell way short of demand.
"We've heard you and we've learned from our missteps with this particular ticket on sale. We're working to make this right as we are excited to announce that a second show has been added at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday, September 8th. First order of business: No public on sale this time! Tickets for the second S&M² show will be available exclusively to Fifth Members.
"We're thrilled to continue the celebration of this world-class arena's opening, to share the spotlight with the Golden State Warriors, the SF Symphony, Michael Tilson Thomas, the Chase Center and what this event represents to the city and the people of San Francisco. The second show gives us a chance to celebrate in a unique and very special way with all of you, the die-hard Fifth Members. We're all huddled at Metallica HQ now working out a plan to give every one of you the most fair and equal chance at obtaining tickets (and to do everything possible to keep the bots from getting any). Under the full disclosure umbrella, due to contractual obligations with the Chase Center there will be a small number of tickets available to Golden State Warriors season ticket holders, but the rest of the house will be all of you and only you… just the Metallica Fan Club family. This is going to take a little time to get as close to foolproof as we can get it, so please sit tight for a few more days and we'll be back with more details.
"Thank you for all your comments, suggestions and most of all your support and patience! Stay tuned, watch this space."

Grenada Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell has appealed to the developed world to do more to help developing countries.
Mitchell said these issues, as well as the conclusion that the current state of income and wealth inequality is unsustainable, and threatens future economic growth, the cohesion and security of societies, and the capacity of people to adapt and innovate in response to changing environmental conditions, are "relevant to the discussions that will take place during the Climate Summit" on Tuesday and the General Assembly Debate that follows.
"We agree that the development challenges we face require systematic participation of all stakeholders in crafting responses to these challenges, which require partnership and global leadership through the U.N.," he said.
"We are fully committed to the further implementation of the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development taking into account the outcome of our regional review and the findings and recommendations of the ICPD beyond 2014 review," he added, calling or the inclusion of the findings and recommendations of the Secretary-General's report and the regional review outcomes in the Post 2015 Development Agenda.
"My country is proud to join the international community in reaffirming support for the historic ICPD Program of Action as well as for the transformational vision presented in the report of the Secretary-General," Mitchell said.

Q: Your InputStream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream I am using Apache Commons to upload a .docx file in google app engine as explained in this link
File upload servlet. While uploading, I also want to extract text by using Apache POI libraries.
If I pass this to the POI API:
 InputStream stream = item.openStream();

I get the below exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Your InputStream was neither an OLE2 stream, nor an OOXML stream

public static String docx2text(InputStream is) throws Exception {
    return ExtractorFactory.createExtractor(is).getText();
}

I am uploading a valid .docx document. The POI API works fine if I pass a FileInputStream object.
FileInputStream fs=new FileInputStream(new File("C:\\docs\\mydoc.docx"));

A: I don't know POI internal implementation, but my guess would be that they need a seekable stream. The streams returned by servlets (and networking in general) aren't seekable.
Try reading the whole contents and then wrapping it in ByteArrayInputStream:
byte[] bytes = getBytes(item.openStream());
InputStream stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);

public static byte[] getBytes(InputStream is) throws IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    int len;
    byte[] data = new byte[100000];
    while ((len = is.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
    buffer.write(data, 0, len);
    }

    buffer.flush();
    return buffer.toByteArray();
}

A: The issue is solved ..
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {  //Apache commons file upload code
      FileItemStream item = iterator.next();
      InputStream stream = item.openStream();
      ByteArrayInputStream bs=new ByteArrayInputStream(IOUtils.toByteArray(stream));
      POITextExtractor extractor = ExtractorFactory.createExtractor(bs);

What's Changed: 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global
Posted on March 3, 2020 by Daniel Hein in Network Monitoring News
The editors at Solutions Review highlight what's changed since the last iteration of Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global and provide analysis of the new report.
Analyst house Gartner, Inc. has released its 2020 Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global. Gartner defines this market as "the provision of fixed corporate networking services with worldwide coverage." The researchers at Gartner note that the market is undergoing a major transformation as companies deploy new services and business models that focus less on large-scale infrastructure — enabled due to new generations of software-based network technologies being released.
For this report, Gartner evaluated vendors based on three key global network services: WAN Transport Services, Carrier-Based Cloud Interconnect (CBCI), and Managed WAN Services. Gartner also highlighted emerging network services that will be evaluated: Network on Demand (NoD), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Virtual Customer Premises Equipment (vCPE).
According to Gartner, companies are focusing more and more on network services that provide greater agility and the ability to enable cloud services and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. Smaller service providers and more niche offerings have gained traction because of this, especially as-a-service solutions. Gartner also pointed out how new network services require a platform-based approach, moving the trend away from customized solutions to off-the-shelf offerings.
In this Magic Quadrant, Gartner evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of 20 providers that it considers most significant in the marketplace, and provides readers with a graph (the Magic Quadrant) plotting the vendors based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. The graph is divided into four quadrants: Niche Players, Challengers, Visionaries, and Leaders. At Solutions Review, we read the report, available here, and pulled out the key takeaways.
The Leaders quadrant featured a four-way battle between AT&T, NTT, Orange Business Services, and Verizon for the rightmost and topmost spot. AT&T has expanded its SD-WAN offering beyond its primary VMware offering as well as expanding its VNF ecosystem. NTT merged many of the networking companies it owned last year, boosting their service capability; Gartner highlighted the vendor's NoD solutions. Orange currently offers the broadest global coverage of the providers in the report with a comprehensive NFV and vCPE service. Verizon also boasts impressive NFV and vCPE services as well as NoD capabilities and one of the largest internet backbones on the market.
The other three Leaders, BT, Tata Communications, and Vodafone, all offer strong network services in the regions they concentrate on. Though BT's U.S. operations aren't as large as other vendors, the company offers managed SD-WAN globally and has all-inclusive NFV and vCPE features. Tata has a strong foothold in APAC, Africa, and the Middle East, and recently rolled out a global NFV service with uCPE devices and 30 service nodes. Vodafone recently completed the acquisition of Liberty Global's European cable networks, strengthening its European coverage and complementing its EMEA focus.
For both the Challengers and Visionaries quadrants, vendors had a fairly similar score for the ability to execute, but the completeness of vision varied significantly. CenturyLink pulled ahead of the other Challengers thanks to its growing attention to the APAC market and expanded Ethernet coverage in the region. Telefonica has strong NoD capabilities and a strong presence in Europe and Latin America, though its CBCI offering is currently very limited. T-Systems' European coverage and fully managed SD-WAN were highlighted by Gartner, though the analyst house did cite its lacking NoD functionality.
Masergy led the Visionaries quadrant with its mature global NFV and vCPE platform as well as its NoD service and AIOps capabilities. However, Gartner pointed out that the company's network infrastructure is static, with little to no growth in a number of global regions and lack of experience supporting large international networks. Colt Technology Services has strong coverage in Europe and Asia with its CBCI, NoD, and SD-WAN capabilities — though its lack of network infrastructure in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa sets it back.
Gartner named eight Niche Players in the report; GTT is positioned the highest on both axes thanks to a series of recent acquisitions and CBCI service, though the company does have a lack of NoD features. Telia has a long track record as a global Internet backbone but has less experience outside the Nordic region, while Telstra offers managed SD-WAN coverage that works well in the APAC region but falls short in other places. Global Cloud Xchange has no NoD services and limited NFV and uCPE capability, but has been providing managed hybrid WAN for a long time.
Singtel has expanded its NFV offer to four APAC region countries and has an extensive APAC region subsea cable network — but has limited knowledge with larger global networks. Sprint and PCCW Global are both planning to deploy vCPE and NFV services in 2020; however, Sprint currently has no plans to offer NoD and has a small footprint outside the U.S. and PCCW has limited experience with global managed network services. Finally, China Telecom Global has strong network coverage in China and APAC and launched a premium Internet service in both regions, but has no plans to develop NFV or vCPE capabilities.

Agriculture Goods from Canada to Enjoy Zero Tax
The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership helps Vietnam gain tax-free imported seafood, beef and fruits from Canada.
Zoey Nguyễn
nhungnguyenle.1209@gmail.com November 27, 2021 | 08:00
Joining in new-generation agreements like the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreements (EVFTA) and the Comprehensive and Progress Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) has brought great economic benefits to Vietnam, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT). Thus, CPTPP helps Vietnam gain tax-free imported seafood, beef and fruits from Canada.
On Nov. 24, an online webinar organized by Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department in collaboration with the Consulate General of Canada was held in Ho Chi Minh City, themed "The advantages of the CPTPP Agreement - Canada and Vietnam partnership and economic recovery after the pandemic".
The advantages of CPTPP
CPTPP has been in effect for nearly 3 years, covering 11 countries and territories. Canada is the market with the highest percentage of businesses taking advantage of the CPTPP's tariff preferences (50% of businesses compared to 21-29% in the remaining countries).
However, since May 2021, as the Covid-19 epidemic has taken a turn for the worse in Ho Chi Minh City, the production and business situation has been seriously affected.
Supply chains have encountered many difficulties, leading to a significant decrease in the proportion of import and export turnover of Vietnam - Canada through the Ho Chi Minh City border gate.
According to Nguyen Huu Nghiep, deputy director of Ho Chi Minh City Customs Department, the workshop was a great opportunity to learn about the problems Vietnamese businesses encounter.
It also discussed the potential of more tax incentives for trading in both consumer goods and raw materials.
He explained that CPTPP had a positive impact on the economy, bringing practical benefits to the business community, but there was still room for improvement.
He said the majors obstacles for Vietnamese businesses were difficult requirements of origin, food safety, and valid transport documents.
The seminar also shared the cases where Vietnam can purchase high-quality products from Canada at affordable and reasonable prices according to CPTPP.

The Covid-19 pandemic has severely affected global trade, the two sides once again affirmed that trade ties were among key pillars of Vietnam - Canada, two founding members of CPTPP.
The seminar shared recommendations related to the implementation of the CPTPP Agreement, thereby offering solutions to handle problems, to support the business community and to create favorable conditions for import and export activities.
Canadian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, Behzad Babakhani deeply appreciated the opportunity to support businesses from Vietnam in taking full advantages of the Agreement.
He also said that events to promote Vietnam - Canada trade will take place every year to further promote trade, including CPTPP-related dialogue between the customs authorities and the Canadian business community.
The events will bring updates on new customs regulations and answer related questions.

The trade turnover between Canada and Vietnam reached CA$ 8.9 billion in 2020, an increase of more than 11% compared to the previous year.
Exports from Canada to Vietnam reached CA$ 735 million, of which agricultural and food products accounted for more than half.
Canada's key agri-food and agricultural exports to Vietnam include grains, oilseeds, fish and crustaceans, fruit, beef and pork, and dairy products. Seafood, beef and fruit exported from Canada to Vietnam have enjoyed a tax rate of 0%.
Since 2015, Vietnam has been Canada's largest trading partner in ASEAN. Canada has removed 94 percent of the total tariff lines on goods importing from Vietnam within the framework of CPTPP, and Vietnam has abolished 66 percent of tariff lines on Canadian goods.
The Vietnamese diplomat said the friendship and the growing cooperative relationship between Vietnam and Canada provided a firm foundation for a reliable and sustainable supply chain.

AceShowbiz - Rapper Cardi B is crediting her soon-to-be born daughter with helping her overcome a bout of depression.
The Bodak Yellow hitmaker is heavily pregnant with her first child, and she couldn't be happier about becoming a mum because she knows her baby will always consider her to be "perfect".
"Imma have my biggest gift and biggest blessing," Cardi writes on Twitter. "The one person who I'm going to always be perfect too. The person that while i was feeling depressed a while ago even when i have everything i wanted in my hands i look down my stomach and got happy and motivated again (sic)!".
"What I envision is my tour bus has my own personal room, and I just want to be with my baby," she explained in a cover interview for Rolling Stone, for which she was photographed alongside her husband-to-be. "Only time I don't have my baby with me is when I'm getting my hair done, make-up done, performing. I don't want to miss one second. I don't want to miss no smiles, I don't want to miss no new movement, I don't want the baby to confuse me and the babysitter (sic)".

TRAVEL BLOG Three (Not So) Typical Days with APT Small Ship Cruising
Three (Not So) Typical Days with APT Small Ship Cruising
It's been said we don't remember days — we remember moments instead. Whether it's satisfying a curiosity as as life long learner, or working through a bucket-list for bragging rights, travellers from all walks of life are really chasing those once-in-a-lifetime moments at the heart of it.
From the historic cities and towns of Europe to the exotic islands of Japan and South-East Asia, the intimate and inspiring adventures that comprise the APT Small Ship cruising program are tellingly packed to the bridge with such moments and seldom-seen treasures.
But don't take our word for it. Read on as two APT guests and a Guest Lecturer describe a few moments they experienced — in some of the world's most exotic and sophisticated destinations.
Adriatic & Aegean Odyssey
— Stephen Phillips, APT Small Ship Guest Lecturer
We left Venice in glorious sunlight and cruised down past the St Mark basin doing no damage to the ancient piles on which the city is built and from which the larger cruise vessels are now to be banned, none too soon!
We have brought that glorious weather right down the Adriatic, painting the churches of Zadar, the walls of Dubrovnik and the Imperial palace at Split with painterly light.
Kotor.jpg
This image: Part of a wider World Heritage Site, Kotor is located in a secluded part of the Gulf of Kotor, Montenegro.
There have been magical moments apart from the weather. A memorable one was the sail out of the Fjord of Kotor in Montenegro, where we had spent an enchanting morning in the marble (formerly Venetian) passages of Renaissance times. We were passing the tiny twin islets of St George's, and the artificial island a few metres away, Our Lady of the Rocks.
The latter owes its name to the magical appearance on a rock of an icon of the Virgin Mary, which was discovered and taken to the church in nearby Perast on the bank of the fjord.
The next day the Virgin was back on her rock – and when they checked, also in the church – so the local sailors and fishermen began to drop rocks and wrecked boats around the rock creating the present island.
It is now occupied by nuns, with whom we exchange signals each time we pass. The passengers were somewhat alarmed as the captain sounded three long blasts on the ship's horn, but delighted when the nuns rushed into their campanile to give an answering peel of bells.
Your Adriatic & Aegean Odyssey small ship cruise includes 14 nights on the MS Island Sky with all meals and drinks on board, a range of shore excursions, all tipping and airport transfers.
Sailing the Japanese Islands
— Nicki D'Souza, APT Small Ship Guest
Japan has been a revelation of amazing sights, beautiful people and friendliness. Wherever we arrived we were greeted by welcoming ceremonies – from folkloric to modern dances, formal speeches and dragons, it was a kaleidoscope of what Japan has to offer.
What stood out the most were the spectacular Japanese gardens we have visited. We were lucky to have caught the ending of the cherry blossoms and we were just in time for the peony festival in Matsue – what an incredible sight that was! A lake literally covered in peonies just to be admired.
Another highlight was Hagi with its historic centre. We first went on a boat trip around the moat which was very funny as we all had to lie flat on our backs as the boat went under very low bridges and the roof was lowered down onto us. With lots of giggling we finished the boat cruise and visited the merchant house, giving us a glimpse into the life
in Hagi during the olden times.
This image: The "floating" torii gate or Itsukushima Shrine, a Shinto shrine located on the island of Itsukushima, Japan.
Today we enjoyed an origami lesson with our guide, Hide. It took us more than half an hour but we finally finished the cranes which we were folding to hang up at the peace memorial in Hiroshima. And to top it off, the crew of the MS Caledonian Sky performed a crew show, showing off their various talents and sense of humour.
The cruise is slowly coming to an end, but the highlights of Japan are not. We have another two wonderful days on board and hope that the weather gods will keep being with us for the next days as we will use our Zodiacs to go ashore in Miyajima, which I'm looking forward to.
Your Sailing the Japanese Isles small ship cruise includes 14 nights on the MS Caledonian Sky and 3 nights at the Brighton Hotel in Kyoto with all meals and drinks on board, a range of Freedom of Choice shore excursions and APT Signature Invitations and airport transfers.
Britain & Ireland Explorer
— Eloise Piper, APT Small Ship Guest
We arrived off St. Kilda, which loomed at the last minute out of the mist, before heading into Village Bay on the island of Hirta. Although it was misty the seas were calm, and the Captain manoeuvred the ship right in close to the settlement. The view spread out in front of us was spectacular, with sea cliffs along the coast, steep hills in front, scattered ruins of the original village of the settlers and little dark brown Soay sheep that are unique to this area.
Once ashore we were greeted by the warden who chatted to us before we either wandered off by ourselves to explore this fascinating place or with Jamie to climb up the hillside to the Gap, a shoulder above the sea cliffs. As we meandered through the ruins and stone walls (built to keep cattle out of cultivated areas), we discovered how the early settlers survived in this remote location.
This image: A cleit above Village Bay on the isolated archipelago of St. Kilda, Scotland.
After lunch the mist lifted obligingly. We were offered an hour-long zodiac cruise along the dark gabbro (volcanic rock) cliffs of Dun, looking through the natural arches to have a taste of the swell on the west side of the island. As the breeding season is in full swing, there were fulmars, kittiwakes and huge numbers of puffins. Several grey seals kept poking their heads up to watch us drift by.
Once all the zodiacs were back on board we heaved up the anchor and the Captain took us to the island of Boreray. He gently nudged the ship between Stac Lee and Boreray giving us an awesome view of the 15,000 pairs of gannets that nest
on its inaccessible pinnacles.
Later, we joined the Expedition Team for our recap and briefing before dinner.
Your Britain & Ireland Explorer small ship cruise includes 11 nights on the MS Hebridean Sky with all meals and drinks on board, a range of Freedom of Choice shore excursions and APT Signature Invitations and airport transfers.

One of the great things about custom designed Phoenix BBQ grills is you can have the one on your backyard patio created to accommodate both your cooking or entertaining wishes and the available space. A totally different situation than the standard portable gas grill where mobility is more important than grilling prep space. A concept that was perfectly adequate when most people did nothing more than cooking hamburgers and steaks over the open flame.
As our use of outdoor barbeques has evolved, so has our need for better designed outdoor cooking spaces. If you entertain large groups often, full blown outdoor kitchen may be the best design direction to take. For most homeowners, the smaller BBQ island design is perfectly suited to their outdoor cooking needs.
Slip-in Phoenix BBQ grills give you a lot of room to play with the island design, and the placement of the grill in it's length too. Picking the shape of the cabinet means you can get away from rectangles and consider the benefits of curved and even S-shape designs. Both these options soften the hard edges we normally have in permanent Phoenix landscaping elements. Additionally, they can add a lot more style to that patio than going with the expected long straight shape.
Before getting started on the project of a unique you built in gas grill's cabinet design, you need to think about usefulness of your outdoor cooking space and whether you will want enough room for serving too. This particular stucco BBQ grill design with the curve puts objects and recipe ingredients closer to the grill as the counter wraps around the chef. Think about how fast one must react to adding the next sauce or flipping the fish while you're preparing a meal on the barbeque. Situating the gas grill in a way that puts everything important to the task in quick and easy reach will allow you to become more adept at whipping up culinary masterpieces than if not 'kitchen planning' goes into the design at all. Remember there is a big difference between cooking on your stove and grilling over open flames. Excelling is accomplished more readily and consistently if you are properly equipped and prepared for each step of the cooking process, rather than scurrying around and hopefully saving the food in the nick of time.
This client of ours has different levels in the patio design's appeal too, notice the paver steps leading up to the raised built in gas grill's location. Not only is the BBQ grill's cabinet and counter curved, but so is the space it occupies in their Phoenix landscape design as well. The round raised outdoor bar connected to the grilling area of the cabinet doubles as both seating and serving space, depending on the occasion.
Consider all your needs and how to make your BBQ grill's usefulness the perfect addition to your backyard living space and your Phoenix landscape design. Its the secret to having the perfect built in gas grill's assets at your fingertips, rather than being disappointed once you have started using the new feature.

1986 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Winner
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
Publisher: Pocket Books/ Simon & Schuster
About: Epic western - whores and cowboys
Where: US (Texas, Nebraska and Montana)
A love story, an adventure, an American epic, Lonesome Dove embraces all the West legend and fact, heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers in a novel that recreates the central American experience, the most enduring of our national myths. Set in the late nineteenth century, Lonesome Dove is the story of a cattle drive from Texas to Montana and much more. It is a drive that represents for everybody involved not only a daring, even a foolhardy, adventure, but a part of the American Dream the attempt to carve out of the last remaining wilderness a new life.
'Some might think it foolish to try and steal horses from the best-armed ranch in northern Mexico,' Augustus said. 'Pedro must work about a hundred vaqueros.' 'Yes but they're spread around, and most of them can't shoot,' Call said. 'Most of us can't either', Augustus said. 'Dish and Newt ain't never spilt blood, and one of 'ems drunk anyway.' ' Gus, you'd talk to a pssum.' Jake said. 'I wisht we had one along,' Augustus said. 'I've seen possums that could outthink this crowd.'
The question is whether it is possible to be eccentric and "major" in the same novel.The scenes that best put the matter to rest are the most traditionally Western ones - the gunfights, stampedes, hangings and horse-stealings. Every one of these is thrilling and almost perfectly realized.
New York Times, Necholas Lemann, 9th June 1985
...Don't be in a hurry to get through this book, and don't expect fast-paced action. It takes nearly 200 pages before the cattle drive gets underway...
United Press International reprinted in Pacific Stars and Stripes 4th August 1985 (Japan, Tokyo)
Larry McMurtry was born in June 1936, in Wichita Falls, Texas, into a family of ranchers. His grandparents were pioneers, settling in Archer County when west Texas was still primarily vast, empty prairie.
While his father and eight uncles were all cowboys, Mr. McMurtry as a young person had a real passion for whatever books he could get his hands on growing up in the small Texas town of Archer City. He began learning cowboying at the age of three, when he got his first horse, and didn't give it up completely until the age of twenty-three, when he left the family ranch to further his studies.
Mr. McMurtry served a two-year term as president of PEN American Center in New York City. He operates antiquarian bookstores in Washington, D.C., Arizona, and Texas, and currently resides in his old hometown, Archer City, where he is actively fulfilling his boyhood dream of filling it up with books.

François Chevaldonnet (ur. 22 lipca 1950 w Reims, zm. 2016) – francuski szachista, mistrz międzynarodowy od 1983 roku.

Kariera szachowa
Największy sukces w karierze odniósł w 1976 r., zdobywając w Saint-Jean-de-Monts tytuł indywidualnego mistrza Francji. Wystąpił w wielu międzynarodowych turniejach, m.in. w Reggio Emilii (dwukrotnie, na przełomie lat 1979/80 i 1980/81), Perniku (1981), Bagneux (1982), Sindelfingen (1984) i Hamburgu (1986), nie osiągając jednak znaczących wyników. Jednym z jego ostatnich sukcesów było dzielenie II miejsca (za Petyrem Welikowem) w Besançon (2003).

Najwyższy ranking w karierze osiągnął 1 stycznia 1980 r., z wynikiem 2375 punktów zajmował wówczas 3. miejsce wśród francuskich szachistów.

François Chevaldonnet jest autorem dwóch książek poświęconych tematyce szachowej:
 Les échecs : l'échec et mat à portée de tous (2001, )
 L'art de la combinaison (2003, )
