Installation Summary
Installing the access point involves these operations:
•Mounting the access point
•Connecting power
•Obtaining an IP address
•Configuring power
•Configuring basic settings
•Configuring security settings
Before you install the access point, make sure that you are using a computer connected to the same network as the access point, and obtain the following information from your network system administrator:
•A system name
•The case-sensitive wireless service set identifier (SSID) for your radio network
•A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community name and the SNMP file attribute (if SNMP is in use)
If you are not connected to a DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI. In this situation, obtain a unique IP address for your access point, a default gateway, and subnet mask from your network system administrator.
Mounting the Access Point
Cisco Aironet 3500, 1260, 1140, 1130, and 1040 series access points can be mounted in several configurations, including on a suspended ceiling, on a hard ceiling or wall, on an elecrtical or network box, and above a suspended ceiling. Click this URL to browse to complete access point mounting instructions:
Caution Do not use plastic wall anchors or the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket for ceiling installations. When mounting the access point on a hard ceiling, use four fasteners capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 20 lbs (9 kg).
Connecting Power
Connect the 1130AG series access point to a power source. The access point can be powered locally by using an AC power module or over the Ethernet using power sourcing equipment (PSE). Regardless of the method you use, the power source must be compliant with the IEC60950 standard for a limited power source. IEC60950 devices include:
•An AC power module connected to the access point's power connector
•The following devices that provide Power-over-Ethernet (PoE):
–An IEEE 802.3af compliant power source
–A compliant Cisco inline power switch
–A Cisco power injector with a compliant AC power module
Caution If the access point receives power through PoE, the output current of the PSE cannot exceed 400 mA or 154000/Vport, whichever is smaller. The power source must comply with IEC60950. IEEE 802.3af compliant PSEs are compliant with IEC60950.
When power is supplied to the access point, a routine power-up sequence begins which you can monitor by observing the access point status LED. During the power up sequence the LED displays a series of colors. When the power up sequence is complete, the LED displays a light green color to indicate that it is ready for operation. When a client associates to the access point, the status LED changes to blue. The LED displays amber to indicate a problem, such as when the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is supplying sufficient power. See the "Configuring Power" section on page 17.
Obtaining an IP Address
Your access point needs an IP address to operate. The access point is no longer shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address from your network's DHCP server when you connect the access point to your network. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. Therefore, you must configure the IP address by opening the command line interface (CLI) from a terminal session established through the access point's console port. See the "Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI" section.
You must know your access point's IP address before you can use the web-based management GUI. If your access point obtained its IP address from your network's DHCP server, you or your network administrator can find it by querying the DHCP server using the access point's MAC address. You can also find the access point's IP address using Cisco's IP Setup Utility You can download IPSU from Cisco.com.
Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI
When you connect the access point to the wired LAN, the access point links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the access point's Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.
To access the CLI, you can connect a PC to the console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (AIR-CONCAB1200).
Note Browse to http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order the cable.
Set up a terminal emulator on your PC to communicate with the access point. Use the following settings for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
When you assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI, you must assign the address to the BVI. Beginning in a privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the access point's BVI:
Command Purpose Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
Interface bvi1
Enters interface configuration mode for the BVI.
Step 3
ip address address mask
Assigns an IP address and subnet mask address to the BVI.
Note When you have finished using the console port, you must remove the serial cable from the access point.
Using a Telnet Session to Access the CLI
Follow these steps to browse to access the CLI using a Telnet session. These steps are for a PC running Microsoft Windows with a Telnet terminal application. Check your PC operating instructions for detailed instructions.
1. Select Start > Programs > Accessories > Telnet.
If Telnet is not listed in your Accessories menu, select Start > Run, type Telnet in the entry field, and press Enter.
2. When the Telnet window appears, click Connect and select Remote System.
In the Host Name field, type the access point's IP address and click Connect.
Configuring Power
After connecting the access point to a power source, its status LED might be amber, which can indicate that the access point is unable to verify that the PSE is supplying sufficient power. In such cases, you will need to configure settings on the access point or the switch to identify your power source.
Identify your power source and switch condition and then make sure that your devices are configured as indicated in the table on page 19.
Follow these steps to configure the system power settings using the GUI:
1. Open your browser and enter the access point's IP address in the address field. A login and password screen appears.
2. Enter the user name Cisco and password Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive.
3. When the access point does not receive enough power for full operations, it is in low power mode. If your access point is in low power mode, a warning message appears indicating that all radios are disabled due to insufficient power. Click OK to continue. The System Configuration page appears.
4. Scroll down to the System Power Settings section as shown in the following illustration:
5. Set the power settings and power injector fields and verify your switch status as indicated in the power settings table.
Note To verify switch status, you will need to use the switch's CLI. See the Cisco IOS software configuration guide for your switch.

Note For more information on this setting, see the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points or the Cisco Aironet Command Reference for Cisco Aironet Access Points and Bridges.
Aironet Extensions
By default, the access point uses Cisco Aironet 802.11 extensions to detect the capabilities of Cisco Aironet client devices and to support features that require specific interaction between the access point and associated client devices. Aironet extensions must be enabled to support features such as load balancing, Message Integrity Check (MIC), Temporal Key Integrity Check (TKIP), Repeater Mode, and World Mode.
Disabling Aironet Extensions disables the features mentioned above, but it sometimes improves the ability of non-Cisco client devices to associate to the access point.
Configuring Security Settings
After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your work site.
Just as you use the Express Setup page to assign basic settings, you can use the Express Security page to create unique SSIDs and assign one of four security types to them. This illustration shows the Express Security page.
Understanding Express Security Settings
When the access point configuration is set to factory defaults, the first SSID that you create by using the Express Security page overwrites the default SSID, which has no security settings. The SSIDs that you create appear in the SSID table at the bottom of the page. You can create up to 16 SSIDs on the access point.
If you use VLANs on your wireless LAN and assign SSIDs to VLANs, you can create multiple SSIDs by using any of the four security settings on the Express Security page. However, if you do not use VLANs on your wireless LAN, the security options that you can assign to SSIDs are limited because on the Express Security page encryption settings and authentication types are linked. Without VLANs, encryption settings (WEP and ciphers) apply to an interface, such as the radio, and you cannot use more than one encryption setting on an interface. For example, when you create an SSID with static WEP with VLANs disabled, you cannot create additional SSIDs with WPA authentication because they use different encryption settings. If you find that the security setting for an SSID conflicts with another SSID, you can delete one or more SSIDs to eliminate the conflict.
If any VLANs are defined on the access point, the trunk port on the switch must be limited to allow only the VLANs defined on the access point.
Express Security Limitations
Because the Express Security page is designed for simple configuration of basic security, the options available are a subset of the access point security capabilities. Keep these limitations in mind when using the Express Security page:
•You cannot edit SSIDs. However, you can delete SSIDs and re-create them.
•You cannot assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces. The SSIDs that you create are enabled on all radio interfaces. To assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces, choose Security > SSID Manager.
•You cannot configure multiple authentication servers. To configure multiple authentication servers, click Security > Server Manager.
•You cannot configure multiple WEP keys. To configure multiple WEP keys, click Security > Encryption Manager.
•You cannot assign an SSID to a VLAN that is already configured on the access point. To assign an SSID to an existing VLAN, choose Security > SSID Manager.
•You cannot configure combinations of authentication types on the same SSID (such as MAC address authentication and EAP authentication). To configure combinations of authentication types, choose Security > SSID Manager.
The Express Setup screen sections and configurable settings are identified and briefly described below.
SSID Configuration
The SSID is a unique identifier that clients use to associate with the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters.
Default: No SSID assigned
Note These characters are not allowed: ?, ", $, [, \, ], and +. In addition, these characters cannot be the first character:
!, #, and ;.
A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by functions, project teams, or applications rather than on a physical or geographical basis.
Options: No VLAN, Enable VLAN ID (1-4095)
Default: No VLAN
Option Description
No VLAN
No VLANs are enabled.
Enable VLAN ID
Enables a VLAN and specifies its identification number (1 through 4095).
Native VLAN
Specifies the VLAN that normally transmits and receives administrative data.
Note After you have enabled a VLAN and assigned an identification number, check the Native VLAN check box to designate it as the native VLAN.
This setting identifies the security settings available on the Express Security Setup page.
Options: No Security, Static WEP Key, EAP Authentication, WPA
Default: No Security
Option Description
No Security
The least secure option. Use this option only for SSIDs used in a public space, and assign it to a VLAN that restricts access to your network.
Static WEP Key
More secure than no security. However, static WEP keys are vulnerable to attack.
There are two different lengths for WEP keys: 40-bit and 128-bit (hexadecimal or ASCII characters. Cisco access points use hexadecimal characters. Client adapters may use either, depending on how the vendor chooses to configure them.
Option Description
EAP Authentication
Enables 802.1x authentication. Requires an IP address and shared secret from an authentication server on your network (server authentication port 1645). You do not need to enter a WEP key.
WPA and WPA2
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) permits wireless access to users authenticated against a database through the services of an authentication server, and encrypts their IP traffic with stronger algorithms than those used in WEP. As with EAP authentication, you must enter the IP address and shared secret for an authentication server on your network (server authentication port 1645).
Note For detailed information about security and security settings, see the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points.
In Case of Difficulty
If you followed the instructions in previous sections of this guide, you should have had no trouble getting your access point installed and running. If you do experience difficulty, the following sections provide basic troubleshooting information.
Before contacting Cisco, look for a solution to your problem in this guide or the troubleshooting chapter of the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide.
The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) maintains a list of top wireless technology issues on Cisco.com at the following link:
Checking the Access Point LEDs
If your access point is not working properly, check the Status LED on the top panel or the Ethernet and Radio LEDs in the cable bay area. You can use the LED colors to assess the unit status.
Note To see the Ethernet and Radio LEDs you must open the access
point cover. (Refer to the "How to Open the Top Cover" section.
The LED meanings are in this table.
Top of Unit Cable Bay Area Meaning Status LED Ethernet LED Radio LED
Normal operating condition; at least one wireless device associated.
Light green
Normal operating condition; no wireless device associated.
Blinking green
Transmitting or receiving Ethernet packets.
Blinking green
Transmitting or receiving radio packets.
Blinking dark blue
Green or blinking green
Blinking green or off
Software upgrade in progress.
IOS errors
Blinking red
Boot loader errors
For more details on these LED status codes, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series Access Point Hardware Installation Guide.
Checking Basic Settings
Mismatched basic settings are the most common causes of lost connectivity with wireless clients. If the access point does not communicate with client devices, check the following areas.
Wireless clients attempting to associate with the access point must use the same SSID as the access point. If a client device SSID does not match the SSID of an access point in radio range, the client device will not associate.
WEP Keys
The WEP keys that you use to transmit data must be set up exactly the same on your access point and any wireless devices with which it associates. For example, if you set WEP Key 3 on your client adapter to 0987654321 and select it as the transmit key, you must also set the same value for WEP Key 3 on the access point. However, the access point does not need to use WEP Key 3 as the transmit key.
Refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points for instructions on setting the access point WEP keys.
Security Settings
Wireless devices attempting to authenticate with your access point must support the same security options configured on the access point, such as EAP or LEAP, MAC address authentication, Message Integrity Check (MIC) WEP key hashing, and 802.1X protocol versions.
If a wireless client cannot authenticate with your access point, contact the system administrator for proper security settings in the client adapter and for the client adapter driver and firmware versions that are compatible with the access point settings.
Resetting to Default Configuration
If you forget your password that allows you to configure the access point, you may need to completely reset the configuration. You can use the MODE button on the access point to reset the configuration.
Note These steps reset all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the IP address, and the SSID.
Using the MODE Button
Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory defaults by using the MODE button:
1. Open the access point cover (refer to the "How to Open the Top Cover" section on page 2).
2. Disconnect power from the access point (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power).
3. Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
4. Continue pressing the MODE button until the Ethernet LED turns amber. (approximately 2 to 3 seconds). Then release the button.
5. After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure it using the web browser interface, the Telnet interface, or the access point console port.
Using the Web Browser Interface
Follow these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to factory defaults using the web browser interface:
1. Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape Navigator (version 4.x or later).
2. Enter the access point IP address in the browser address line, and press Enter. An Enter Network Password screen appears.

Ed Burden's 53 Studebaker
Usually a hot rod built by Boyd Coddington is like a baby, it has an incubation period of about 9 months. Occasionally, however, for various reasons, they take a little longer to see the light of day. Take, for example, Ed Burden's 53 Studebaker post coupe.
Ed, who resides in New York where he houses an impressive and diversified car collection, had always wanted a car he could call his own. So, in 1989, he commissioned Boyd to build him a hot rod.
A good clean car was subsequently found in California and work began at the 8372 Monroe Avenue shop where Darwin White and Tom Garrity chopped the top four inches in the front and two inches in the rear. Meanwhile, Larry Sergejeff fabricated a tubular steel chassis to NHRA specifications while retaining the original Studebaker wheelbase. In typical Boyd Coddington fashion, the chassis is fully independent suspension at all four corners with Carrera coil-over shocks. The part-built car was featured in the winter 1991 issue of Custom Rodder.
Ray Harstad was chosen to assemble a 454-cubic-inch, all-aluminum Donovan V8, which is mounted solidly, race-car style, to the to the frame, and with a single carburetor under a Boyds air cleaner produces in excess of 500 horsepower. Unfortunately, as sometimes happens, Ed got sidetracked with other issues and the Studebaker's skeleton was pushed into a closet where it gathered dust for a few years. However, Ed kept seeing other Studebakers in the magazines and eventually he called Boyd with in instructions to put his project on the fast track.
Boyd Coddington Garage had moved to its location at 10541 Ashdale where in the early part of 1995, the coupe was dusted off and work resumed-Boyd having promised Ed he would deliver the car in Lincoln, Nebraska, during the Rod and Custom Americruise. The passage of time dictated that some details change. For example, the narrowed nine-inch Ford rear end originally intended for the car was discarded in favor of a Boyd independent rear fitted with a Corvette center section, Carrera coil-over shock absorbers and Wilwood brakes.
The tire and wheel combination is are staggered 16 x 7 and 17 x 9.5 One Off wheels from Boyd Coddington Wheels with Goodrich P205/55Rl6s in front and P255/50R l 7s in the rear.
Meanwhile, in true hot rod tradition, the body was smoothed of handles, script and all extraneous trim and had its rear lights frenched in traditional style before being squirted by Greg Morrell in what became known as Boyd Silver. Inside, all was equally business like with acres of aluminum and a pair of Momo seats surrounded by tubes of steel and faced by a Boyds wheel and a six-pack of Classic Instruments mounted in a painted aluminum dash. It's the bare necessities and that's the way Ed like s it, saying, "I wanted the illusion of being in a race car and its Spartan interior was just perfect. I love the feel of the Doug Nash five-speed. It was exactly what I had in mind when I called Boyd seven years ago."
True to his word, Boyd had the car ready to deliver on the Americruise, however, chief designer Chip Foose gave the Southern California automotive design community a sneak preview when he rumbled into an invitation-only car show at Toyota's Newport Beach, California advanced styling studio and drove away with one of the top awards.

My hands are broken. Well, they're not broken but they're in pretty bad shape. I've been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands/wrists, but especially my right wrist for over a year now, but it's become nearly unbearable these past few months. Even typing a few sentences is painful and incredibly uncomfortable. I'm actually meeting with an orthopedic surgeon TODAY to discuss my options. This is one of the main reasons why I just don't post as much as I used to. But today I'm going to bang a post out for the people that are still sticking with me on this crazy journey that I'm on. I want to get back to heart of what my blog used to be, I miss having that outlet and sharing my experiences with others.
So, back to the real topic: Pilot Season.
I have to say, I'm having a pretty good pilot season so far. Last week was a bit slow, but the week before was very busy with 6 pilot auditions and I have one that I'm going in for today. So far, I've auditioned for pilots on all of the major networks and one for AMC. One audition was in the CDs office, but on tape for producers and I also ended up going to producers for a lead in a series and got to read with the star of the show!
Fuck it, I'll give you the deets!
I got to read with Craig Robinson, for his new show "Mr. Robinson." The part (obviously) went to Meagan Good, but it was a really great, fun experience. Craig was so funny and very kind.
I haven't moved forward on anything else just yet and there was one ABC pilot last week that I was really invested in that I did not move forward on. That one definitely made me cry because I was PERFECT for the part in pretty much every way imaginable. I'd fallen in love with the character and also loved the script, but such is life. It just wasn't my job to have.
For everything else, I've just allowed myself to look at them as opportunities to play, especially since my manager and agents have gotten me into SO many new casting offices these past few weeks. I'm getting excellent feedback and that's going to be invaluable when it's time to cast the guest stars and recurring roles on these same pilots. Not to mention episodic season.
The important thing is that I'm feeling good walking out of almost every one of my auditions when, in the past, it was always a mixed bag for me. My confidence in who I am as a person is really strengthening my work and my outlook on my work. For that alone, I'm so much happier and more content with where I am and the possibilities of where I can go.
With all of that said, wish my luck with my doctor's appointment and this next pilot audition! I also want to hear about what's going with you guys out there. How are your pilot seasons going? Tell me in the comments section!

Once Christmas is over, New Year's Eve is almost forgotten and we have totally recovered, I don't want to feel cold anymore, don't want to see snow, don't want to look at the rain (tough luck on that one) I yearn for the first green leaves and the spring flowers and the weak winter sun smiling from somewhere up there among the clouds (hopefully).
But well, I am perfectly aware that it is far too early for that anyway. There is 3 to 4 more months of cold and rain and possibly frost and snow (depending on where you live, here in Ireland we don't really get snow)
So what I am going to do is, post some of the images I captured in December and never had the time to show you because I was so outrageously busy baking away at The White Gables.
The only thing that keeps us going during the long devouring darkness of the long December days and nights is the hopeful and colourful twinkling of all the Christmas decorations everywhere.
Tell me now, who doesn't like to see Lights in the darkness??!!!
I hope you can indulge my weakness for abstract photography and taking photos at low light without tripod. I find the effects rather striking and quite fitting the season of darkness...
Thanks for being here

The same old wars are being fought against the West, notably against America and Israel by proxy. What Marxism could not achieve during the Cold War, to undermine western values, it now has decided to achieve by stealth and odd alliances; the New Left as it is now called has joined forces with Islamic nations to attack one small sliver of a nation in the Middle East: Israel. Despite its rhetoric that it is about justice and equality, its purpose is clearly otherwise. An attack on Israel is often an attack on democracy; it's unfortunate that most feminists chose to ignore the obvious. George Jochnowitz writes: "When feminists, gay rights groups, and civil rights activists choose to support Islamic countries where women are subject to honor murders, where homosexuals are imprisoned and sometimes executed, and — in the case of Sudan today and Saudi Arabia before 1962 — slavery is practiced, something irrational is at work. Only anti-Semitism can explain this weird Marxist-Islamic alliance."

and What We Must Do About It
by Phyllis Chesler. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2003, ix + 307 pp., $24.95
by George Jochnowitz
Leftist anti-Semitism is closely connected with anti-Zionism. It is possible to be an anti-Zionist without being an anti-Semite, and indeed Chesler points this out: "Critiquing the Jewish state has never been proof that the critic was an anti-Semite" (p. 176). On the other hand, when leftists abandon all their principles in order to oppose Israel, we must conclude that anti-Semitism is at work. Chesler tells us that "Islamic reactionaries and western intellectuals and progressives who may disagree on every other subject have agreed that Israel and America are the cause of all evil" (pp. 3-4).
America is the most powerful country on earth, and it is not too surprising—even if it is illogical—when those of varying persuasions unite to oppose America and forget the other issues that matter to them. Israel, on the other hand, is a small and unimportant country, a fact that nobody seems to know. When feminists, gay rights groups, and civil rights activists choose to support Islamic countries where women are subject to honor murders, where homosexuals are imprisoned and sometimes executed, and — in the case of Sudan today and Saudi Arabia before 1962—slavery is practiced, something irrational is at work. Only anti-Semitism can explain this weird Marxist-Islamic alliance.1
The precursor of the Marxist-Islamic alliance was probably the conference of African and Asian states held in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 1955, when third-world countries defined themselves as a group—a group from which Israel was excluded. My personal awareness that there was an irrational antipathy of leftists against Israel occurred in the days before the Six-Day War, when I used to spend time at a table at Columbia University where literature opposing the Vietnam War was distributed. When there were indications that Israel was in trouble, after Egypt had closed the Straits of Tiran and asked U.N. peacekeepers to leave the Sinai Peninsula, my friends at the Vietnam table rejoiced at Israel's difficulties. When the war took place and Israel won, the antipathy increased.
A few months later, I learned that this hostility was not restricted to a few Columbia students who opposed the Vietnam War. A conference was held in Chicago at the end of the summer called The National Conference for the New Politics. The big issue at the time was the Vietnam War. Among the resolutions, however, was one against Israel.
A front-page story in the New York Times appeared under the headline "Parley on New Politics Yields to Militant Negroes' Demands."2 Somehow the world has forgotten about the ferocious anti-Zionism of 1967. Let us consider some passages from this news story:
The most controversial section of the policy statement drafted by the so-called Black Caucus put the convention on record as condemning "the imperialistic Zionist war" between Israel and the Arab states.
The addition that "this condemnation does not imply anti-Semitism" did not satisfy many Jews and Jewish sympathizers among the members of the anti-Vietnam and civil rights groups represented at the convention in the Palmer House ballroom.
The vote was 17,928 in favor and 6,834 opposed, with 2,028 abstentions.
"Every Jew in America over 30 years old knows another Jew that hates Negroes,"Mr. [Dick] Gregory declared, "and if we hate Jews, that's just even, baby".
It would have been very easy for the participants in the conference to blame the United States for the Six-Day War. Together with the Soviet Union, America had forced Israel to give up all the territory it had conquered in the Sinai Campaign. In return for this withdrawal, troops of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) were stationed in Egypt and at Sharm el-Sheikh to keep the Straits of Tiran open to Israeli shipping. The enforcement of this agreement was not, strictly speaking, an American responsibility. When Egypt's President Nasser ordered UNEF out of Egypt on May 16, 1967, the United States did not react. On May 22, Nasser closed the Straits to Israeli shipping. U.S. officials wished to avoid alignment with Israel. In other words, the United States felt no obligation to enforce an agreement it had imposed eleven years earlier.
Needless to say, the leftists at the National Conference for the New Politics did not add the charge of breaking an agreement with Israel to their list of indictments against America. The left had become anti-Israel, and that was that. An overtly anti-Semitic cartoon appeared in The Realist in June 1967.3 The cartoon showed a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews walking down a street in what looked like a small town in Bavaria. Men in lederhosen were watching them from the side. The Jews carried signs with stars of David. One of them had a sign saying "Israel über Alles," echoing the German national anthem Deutschland über Alles, thus identifying Israel with the Third Reich. To this day, Jews are described as being as bad as Nazis.
It took another year for the left to become simply anti-Semitic, as distinct from being merely anti-Zionist. In 1968, there was a teachers' strike in New York City. Anti-Semitic sentiments against the teachers were expressed openly, and no attempt was made to link this prejudice to the situation in the Middle East. The Village Voice, where some of this hostility was explained and excused, agreed to print an article of mine in response, "The Left Is Soft on Anti-Semitism," the first time I wrote anything for publication outside of the field of linguistics.4
I grew up in a left-liberal home. My father had belonged to Hashomer Hatzair when he lived in Poland. I always associated being liberal with being pro-Israel. I didn't realize that leftism and liberalism were very different from each other. In 1968, I used the words "soft on anti-Semitism." Today, I would simply say that the left is part of the Marxist-Islamic alliance, which is defined in part by its anti-Semitism. I did not understand that Marxism was not an economic theory but rather a faith about an economic theory until I lived in China for five months in 1984, when I learned that the cruelty of Marxism comes from the opposition to individuality expressed in all the writings of Marx. I lived in China again for four months in 1989, when I saw the results of that cruelty with my own eyes after the Tiananmen Massacre.
Phyllis Chesler, like me, had a change of heart as a result of her own experiences and her commitment to her Jewish identity. Chesler is a noted feminist who is the author of twelve books, the first eleven of which are about women. It makes perfect sense for a feminist to be pro-Israel, the first country to have a head of government, Golda Meir, who was neither the widow (like Sirimavo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka) nor the daughter (like Indira Gandhi of India) of a previous head of government. Furthermore, Chesler had her own experience with life in an Islamic country: "I first learned how different the Judeo-Christian West and the Islamic East really are long ago, in the early 1960s, when I was a bride living in Afghanistan in an era of pre-Taliban gender apartheid." (p.14)
Nevertheless, as we know, feminists have not been pro-Israel. The World Conference of the International Women's Year, held in Mexico City from June 19 to July 2, 1975, called for "the elimination of colonialism and neo-colonialism, foreign occupation, Zionism, apartheid and racial discrimination in all its forms."5 Five years later, Chesler had her own experience with a similar conference: "I coordinated a conference in Oslo that took place right before the 1980 United Nations World Conference on Women in Copenhagen. I saw with my own eyes how the entire agenda, both officially and unofficially, was hijacked by the PLO" (p. 53).
If it makes no sense for women to side with the Marxist-Islamic alliance against Israel, it makes even less sense for homosexuals to do so. Chesler explains, "In Palestine and in the Arab Islamic Middle East, real homosexuals are tortured and murdered and must flee for their lives, as must girls and women whose sexual purity is suspect" (p. 159). Yet placards reading "Queers for Palestine" have appeared in demonstrations against McDonald's and elsewhere. Leftists, in Europe and elsewhere, have been insensitive to the loss of life suffered by Israel. "In one instance," writes Chesler, "a Norwegian medical researcher refused to sell certain medical materials to her Israeli counterpart; in another instance, Finland refused to sell the Israeli government gas mask kits" (p. 226). When Islamic clerics call for the death of Jews everywhere, when Jews are attacked not only in Israel but in Europe, leftists don't notice. The following dialogue, for all intents and purposes, has been taking place for years between jihadists on the one side and leftists on the other:
Jihadists: Kill the Jews.Attacks against Jews in Europe are anti-Semitic, but they have the effect of increasing immigration to Israel, and are thus pro-Zionist. Chesler tells us, "The Israeli government released figures that showed that the emigration of French Jews to Israel record heights of 2,326 in 2001" (p. 125).
Leftists: We understand you.
You want an end to settlements.
Jihadists: Kill the Jews.
Leftists: Of course. You want freedom of movement
...without checkpoints.
Jihadists: Kill the Jews.
Leftists: How poetic your language is. You want an
...independent state.
Jihadists: Kill the Jews.
What's to be done? Perhaps feminists can be persuaded by Chesler's book and by more information. Would it help if feminists knew this fact? "On the Israeli side, 80 percent of those killed were noncombatants, most of whom were women and girls. Israeli female fatalities outnumbered Palestinian female fatalities by either 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 [emphasis in original]. ... Of the Palestinian deaths, more than 95 percent were male. In other words, Palestinians purposefully went after women, children, and other unarmed civilians, and Israelis fought against armed male soldiers who were attacking them" (p. 115).
Feminists, gays, and all threatened and marginalized groups should admire Israel for its commitment to human rights during a half century of mortal danger. Will Chesler's book — personal, emotional, yet filled with facts—change any minds? Will it be read by those who disagree with it? Only time will tell.

Telephone scams target Douglas County senior residents
Two Douglas County residents have had more than $5,000 each stolen from them by telephone scammers, who are claiming they owed fines for missing a court date or jury duty.
According to a warning issued by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, the residents received phone calls from someone claiming to be from the sheriff's office.
The caller then claims that to avoid incarceration the resident needs to pay the bail on a warrant, and asks for a credit card or for the resident to purchase gift cards at a store and then read the number off the card to the caller so they can be redeemed.
According to the actual sheriff's office, the calls may appear local on the resident's caller ID, but the number may be "spoofed" to show a local number.
According to the FBI, senior citizens are targeted in these cases because they are perceived to have a lot of cash, own their home and have good credit.
Older Americans are also less likely to report that they have been scammed, due to a lack of knowledge of who to report it to, or because of embarrassment.
Sometimes older Americans have memory problems and cannot remember important details to be an effective witness to assist law enforcement in finding the criminal.
"The Douglas County Sheriff's office wants to remind residents that they will never call the public to notify them that they owe money on a warrant or fine," sheriff's spokeswoman Bernadette Smith said. "The public is encouraged to hang up on those calls and never give out personal information on the phone."
Residents are reminded to communicate with friends and neighbors and share information regarding the scammers.
The public is encouraged to hang up on those calls and never give out personal information on the phone.

George Stoney, the great documentary filmmaker, has died at age 96. Though he had made films since the early 1950s, Stoney made one in 1995 that turned my world upside down.
The Uprising of '34, made with his former student, Judith Helfand, was about the Textile Strike of 1934. In it was a section about how, on September 6, 1934, seven workers were shot and killed and 30 others wounded at the Chiquola Mill in my home town of Honea Path, South Carolina.
It was an act that has shaped the town's history and attitudes in ways that few could have imagined. I had a special interest in the film because my late grandfather, Dan Beacham, Honea Path's mayor and superintendent of the mill in 1934, organized the gunmen who fired their weapons at the workers. That day became known as "Bloody Thursday."
My grandfather died in 1936, many years before I was born. When I was growing up in Honea Path during the 1960s, the subject of the mill violence was taboo. There were hints of what happened, of course, but the topic was never discussed in the open. I learned the truth about Honea Path's history in 1994 from a rough-cut of Stoney's film.
Since that film essentially ended Honea Path's six-decade long secret, I've learned about the history of the town and its people through many conversations and stories. I wrote about it in my book, Whitewash: A Southern Journey through Music, Mayhem and Murder.
As a writer who makes his living telling stories, I was shocked to find one of the most compelling stories I've ever heard connected to my own family and hometown. Even more shocking, I found, was how an event of such magnitude and importance to the lives of generations of Honea Path families could have been hidden and buried for so long. Of course the reason that I and so few of my fellow baby boomers didn't know the story of Chiquola Mill was because it was purposely denied us.
There was a campaign of fear and intimidation after the shootings that effectively erased public discussion of what had happened. Fearful workers who wanted to keep their jobs put a self-imposed lid on their own past. Somehow, as the years went by, the violence at Chiquola evolved into a source of shame.
George Stoney, a Southerner himself, understood all this. He explained more to me about where I came from than I ever learned while living there. After the film's release, he came to Honea Path and we did a radio talk show together. He organized a retreat at the Highlander Center in Tennessee where we discussed what happened in Honea Path for several days.
Later, we spoke, not only in his classes at New York University, but at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and the Museum of Natural History in New York City. We always winged it and the endless conversations were never boring.
As I learned from all this, a documentary filmmaker's job is never done. George invited me to one of his film classes last year at NYU, still teaching well into his 90s.
George addressed the many myths that built up over the years about the workers who died in Honea Path more than 75 years ago. They were called an isolated group of troublemakers and rabble-rousers. Some, mainly the mill's former management, claimed they deserved what happened to them.
He saw it another way. He thought these mill workers risked everything—their jobs, their freedom and ultimately their lives—for a cause they believed in. They made a decision to exert some control over their changing place in an increasingly industrialized world. Their method was to attempt to organize their fellow workers into a labor union.
The amazing chain of events that caused friends and neighbors in Honea Path to turn on one another with weapons has to be viewed in the context of the time. In 1934 the cork finally blew and labor protests erupted all over the United States. There were 1,856 work stoppages involving 1,470,000 workers.
Honea Path represented a microcosm in a whirlwind of worker unrest. The shooting of the Honea Path mill workers was a pivotal moment in the General Textile Strike that was sweeping the South. Though the efforts of the workers ended in defeat and much suffering followed, the deaths of the seven Honea Path men was not in vain.
The disillusionment of the workers and the outrageous conduct by the mill owners made a strong impression on the Roosevelt Administration. This helped spur passage of the Wagner Act in 1935 and the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. Out of these laws came reforms that vastly improved the lives of all American workers. One example was child labor. Before 1938, when the Fair Labor Standards Act outlawed employment of children under sixteen, the concept of "helping" was used in the mills.
Very young children were taught factory skills by their parents and soon "helped" by working in the mill to increase the family's piecemeal earnings. "Helping" became a form of apprenticeship and a major part of the mill's labor system. Because this practice is now illegal, children have a better chance at a quality life by getting to stay in school rather than be exploited as cheap labor.
Other major reforms that came out of the labor unrest was the establishment of the minimum wage and the 40-hour work week. These are reforms—a direct result of what happened in Honea Path—have permeated modern life in the United States and have extended far beyond the textile industry. That's why these workers were heroes and why their history should be honored.
The corrosive division that poisoned Honea Path after the shootings and the sense of shame that followed the shooting was concocted by those responsible for the violence. Fortunately that has mostly ended now, if for no other reason than fewer and fewer remain with us who can give a first person account of what happened.
Now, we have lost George Stoney, too. The Honea Path story is just one of many that George told. What a life! What a wonderful ability to change people's lives through storytelling. That's what George Stoney did so well.
RIP, George!

Ummm, know what you mean about the pudding and cake...
I was looking at ready planted bulbs the other day, but didn't like the pots (yours are great), so decided to look for some bulbs. Can't have hyacinths in the house as they make me cough like a horse. It'll have to be narcissi.

'The Biggest Loser' recap: Dolvett unleashes the Jeremy-inator
So all that for...nothing? After much drama, weigh ins, and challenges, "The Biggest Loser" final three stands at this: Kim, Jeremy and -- say it with me, ugh! -- "Ana-Conda."
As we look down the barrel of the Season 13 finale, it all feels a little clipped. The turmoil unleashed from the entitled Final Five still feels unresolved. Were the players really pouting and protesting that it "wasn't fair" that eliminated players -- including Mark's son, Chism and Buddy's brother Ben -- had a shot to win their way back into the house, like they do every season? Ingrates!
And even when all 14 of the eliminated players got that shot in a thrilling three-part challenge, the inevitability of it all quickly became clear. Like the Terminator, Jeremy was going to stop at nothing -- absolutely nothing -- to seize back that berth in the final three.
It could have been a snooze-fest, were it not for the Jeremy-inator. But perhaps more interesting: There would be no Jeremy-inator without Dolvett.
Before we get to that, though, let's remark on the amazing transformations so far for so many of the players, particularly the ones that had been been dogged by controversy. Ben, who volunteered to go home early in the competition, is close to losing three digits. Santa Claus seems to be steering his sleigh away from the Christmas cookies (not sure I would have predicted that one.)
And then there's Mike. He had the tough-guy looks and demeanor but in the end was no match for Ana-Conda, who drove him out of the house for supposedly not working hard enough. That wasn't true, of course. But when faced with elimination, Mike said he had two choices: to give up, or prove that just a few short days on the ranch were enough to get him back on the path of eating right and exercising. Congrats, Mike.
Mike might have even had a shot at winning that third birth in the finals were it not for Dolvett. Because it was Dolvett's pep talk that gave Jeremy the much-needed kick in the gym shorts to get him back in the game.
We're accustomed to plenty of motivational speeches on the ranch. But I'd argue that this one goes into the books as one of the best in "Biggest Loser" history. "Do the work," Dolvett told Jeremy, "Shake it off."
"Don't fall in love with a result. Fall in love with this," Dolvett said, referring to Jeremy's internal and external transformation, "and make this your life." (I even considered sliding off the couch and doing some sit-ups. Luckily, the urge passed.)
It was at that moment, though, that the Jeremy-inator was born.
Jeremy said he could use his anger over his earlier elimination as either a curse or a motivator to win his way back into the game. He did just that at the insane pole challenge. Once Jeremy was fired up, I have no doubt that he would have stood on that pole for nearly four days instead of nearly four hours to win his way back into the final 3. Well done, Jeremy.
Random thought: Do you think Bob is fuming that Dolvett borrowed his "trust the process" mantra along with some of his favorite exercises?
Another random thought: Will next week's finale play out like this week's weigh-in? That seems kinda boring. I miss seeing the competitors trying to plug back into their home environment, as well as a grand challenge like the marathon. Thanks again Buddy and Mark, for mucking things up?

As you can see, this is no small squash to mess with -- it's about a foot long and at least a good 4 or 5 pounds. Gigantic in terms of the closest common vegetable that comes to mind - a zucchini - but relatively underweight compared to, say, a newborn.
Upon bringing the opo squash (aka bottle gourd) home with my other haul of obscure (to me, at least) ingredients, I quickly got to work learning about it. Read on for notes on selection, storage, uses, recipes, and one recipe I decided to try!
Other Names for Bottle GourdIf you're looking to buy a bottle gourd, be aware that it goes by many names, including "calabash" and "long melon." The varieties sold in Chinese groceries are often labeled "opo squash," and sometimes "opu" and "upo". Chinese groceries also sell a variety called "Moa Gua" or "hairy squash," which is darker mottled green and covered in small hairs. In Indian groceries, bottle gourd may sell under the names "lauki" and "sorakaaya." Italian markets may sell the squash under the name "cucuzza." The fruits come in a variety of shapes and sizes -- The type pictured in this post is an opo squash from a Chinese market.
Flavor and TextureEach variety has unique qualities -- I've only tried the squash pictured above, sold as an "opo squash" at a Chinese market, so I can only speak to the qualities of this variety.
The opo squash I tried was light green, heavy, shaped like a large zucchini, and smooth. The skin was thin, akin to a zucchini. The flesh was like a zucchini, too, but chewier and more dense, with a flavor akin to a cross between a cucumber and zucchini. The center flesh, where the seeds were, is spongier and the young seeds are crisp and slightly sweet.
Selecting and StoringChoose a firm, heavy, smooth, unblemished squash with no cuts, bruises, or diseased areas. Store it in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
How to Eat Bottle GourdCalabash can be eaten as a vegetable, similar to summer squash, when young. The leaves, shoots, and tendrils of the plant can also be eaten. A typical preparation in India is a chickpea and gourd dish called lauki channa. Common dishes in China include stir fries and soups. In Central America, the seeds are sometimes toasted, ground, and used as an ingredient in a sweet drink known as horchata.
Other UsesCalabash, when mature, are dried and used for their tough outer shell, which can be made into storage containers (including liquid storage), utensils, instruments, and many other items.

Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), a software supplier of software to the merchant industry, has reached an agreement to acquire Mincron Software Systems, based in Houston, Texas, and its successful suite of products.
This acquisition is a key strategic investment for KCS and a welcome development for Mincron. The companies will form one of the strongest ERP offerings for the distributive trades in North America.
KCS has over 800 distributive trade customers worldwide, focusing on wholesalers/distributors/retailers and merchants in the construction, industrial and other sectors.
In parallel, Mincron has a 30-year history of delivering ERP solutions to a similar customer profile - businesses that need to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and service competitively. The acquisition of Mincron by KCS follows the successful acquisition and integration of Cary, North Carolina-based Dancik International in July 2015.
Mincron will continue to focus on product innovation, including maintaining and supporting the existing SmartDistributor product suite while providing customers access to other products and services from the KCS portfolio.
Ian Bendelow, KCS Group chief executive officer, said: "This is another key strategic acquisition for us and our second in North America in as many years. It strengthens our geographical presence in the North American market and provides a further platform for growth in this important region. Mincron aligns with our successful business strategy of focusing on trading and business management solutions for the distributive trades, including wholesalers, distributors, retailers, merchants and resellers.
"Our customers will benefit from this acquisition through greater strength and depth in our North American team to support our functionally rich solutions to meet their business goals & challenges."
Wendy Berger, general manager of Mincron, said: "The acquisition by KCS brings together two great companies with similar history, culture and customer profile. The combined resources will further strengthen the KCS brand in North America and I look forward to being part of the Group and leading the Mincron team into a new era of opportunity."
As executive vice president for KCS Group in North America, Alan Cross will support Wendy Berger and the Mincron team and help to ensure that that benefits of being part of the larger group are available to all customers.

In the month of May, we honor motherhood – and the dead of war.
All over the earth, mothers watch their sons go off to war every day. The baby she once cradled in her arms, lovingly, tenderly keeping him from all of the world's harms – a soldier now, battle ready, double-edged sword in hand. Hundreds… Thousands… Millions of boys become men ground up by the machinery of war; the blood of beloved sons spilled out, saturating field and forest or mingling with the salty tears of fathomless seas. What gain can be had by so great a cost? What treasure could entice a woman to offer as potential sacrifice a child whom she has raised and loved?
On battlefields and disputed fronts, in gunfights, bombings, and hand-to-hand combat, the cries and gory wounds of war march on… for country! And more deeply… for faraway home… for brothers in arms beside them… and mourning mothers kneel upon the mossing graves, a clutch of flowers in aging hands pressed against the stones.
This Spring, the Earth unfurls her verdant green banners and swells with the peaceful rush of life. This is the time of bright trumpeting daffodils and of violets… and also of forget-me-nots, and tulips reaching up from the ground like offered prayers. The lilies of the valley, demurely bowing their heads, white veiled, emit their sweet and heavy fragrance from the quiet of their leafy grottoes. And the robins redbreast are warming their nests of promised chicks in appletrees thick with blooms, undeterred by frost or storm… until, one day, in the month of May, the sky cloaked eggs will open and reveal new life being born.
Not so long ago, in pasturelands of deep country, farming families would gather at the crossroads to pray the rosary in the cool, clear of a May evening.
In May, for our ancestors knew that the Queen of Heaven sits upon her mossy throne, bedecked with buttercups and bluets, with wild strawberry blossoms at her feet and purple lilacs at her shoulders. Her head is bowed, white veiled, and her cupped hands, like a chalice of petal flesh, catch the tears that are spilling out from her violet eyes and down her cheeks of new roses.
She, too, has watched her son go off to war, like a lamb sent among wolves.
He laid bare the mighty enemy with the spiritual swiftness of his sword, but his brothers went astray and left him to the cruelty of men, to be tortured and humiliated. She saw her beloved son put to death before her eyes and her tears, her agony, could not end the madness, could not save him from the pain, could not spare him the grave. But… the stone that had marked the place where his lifeless body was laid to rest did not green over with the coming spring. The grave did not keep his mortal remains, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, for the life of her son is purely divine – and he did rise. And in rising to eternal life he raises dead sons and daughters, saving all with souls of faith, who valued others more than self.
The Mother of God saw her son, meek and humble and strong, go off to war and, though painfully grieved, did not begrudge the sacrifice – for the treasure won by his blood is the kingdom that has no end, not just for herself and him, but for every person of hope. The Kingdom where love is true armor, love the lance, love the way, love the victory without violence, the glory without gore, the eternal summer, the eternal spring. And, now, every day of firefight and weeping, every day of cold, barren darkness, every day of Renewing Life pushing up tender shoots, of flowers yielding to luscious fruits – every day is a memorial.

There is a big difference between virtual reality and 360-degree video.
360° video is less immersive and typically keeps the viewer in a fixed point surrounded by roughly 360 degrees of video or a still 360° photo.
In Virtual Reality when you look through a VR viewer, you are immersed in a living 3D scene and you control what you see with the turn of your head or a walk through with gaze technology which allows you to look at a spot and it moves.
In real life, we experience things spatially. Our brains are constantly calculating distances, sizes, and volumes to understand the world around us. Where video falls flat, Jamwoc gives users more than visuals – they provide the feeling of being in a physical location. Real 3D data is the only way to give your audience a true sense of presence – the feeling of being there…
Jamwoc's Virtual Reality Solutions are:

Body image is an issue in today's society; there are many women who feel pressure from an ever judgemental society to conform to an image of beauty, which feminist-minded individuals rightly declare is created by negative sexual objectification by corporations who profit from insecurity. However, it would be equally cruel to ostracise those who take great pride in their health and appearance, like the new mum shamed for her stunning post pregnancy transformation.
With that in mind, this article aims to help those women who wish to lose weight to feel more confident, get a bit more shapely and generally embrace a healthier and fitter lifestyle without trawling the internet and buying, quite frankly, rubbish health supplements designed to take advantage of your insecurities. While a gym membership is absolutely a great investment, even that can be substituted for now by an inexpensive set of weights.
- Don't be afraid of weights.
If there's one gym cliché which needs to be left in the rubbish bin of history, it's the fear that women will become muscle-bound Spartans if they happen to brush past a dumbbell. You simply, due to your biology, will not explode into a female Schwarzenegger if you do a few sets of bench press. You may however, explode into a new you. Squats, Deadlift, Clean and Press and Bench Press should be staple exercises of anybody's workout. These four exercises will work nearly every muscle in your body and see you tone up. The intensity of a full body workout is also considerably cardiovascular, if you push yourself hard enough. Also, don't be afraid to lift heavy. If 20kg bench press is your maximum weight, then you can rest assured that you're feeling the exact same stress as someone whose maximum bench is 120kg.
- Get off the treadmill!
The thing with clichés is they have some base truth to them. The sight of women holding the cardio corner hostage is a regular scene. Cardio has its place, absolutely, but it is by no means the answer to your weight loss woes or your fitness aspiration. Too much cardio can often lead to muscle catabolism. The best way to look at it is to look at a marathon runner and a sprinter and see the difference in their build. Find a healthy balance between cardio and weight lifting. Perhaps try adding 20 minutes of HIIT to the end of a session or 3 one hour cardio sessions a week.
How do you lose fat? Stop eating? Well then how come fitness models are swaggering around with 8% body fat yet eat thousands upon thousands of calories? It's not about how much you eat – it's about what you eat. Contrary to popular belief, not eating regularly slows your metabolism, thus slowing fat loss. We all know those fitness enthusiasts who are constantly eating, that's because smaller meals, spread throughout the day, increase ones metabolism. Look for foods that take longer to digest, slow releasing carbohydrates like sweet potato and slow releasing proteins like cottage cheese leave one feeling fuller for longer while eating healthy. Food doesn't have to be boring, there's a million and one things you can do with chicken breast and the sheer volume of vegetables out there will leave you swamped for choice.
It doesn't have to be expensive either. Vegetables cost little per kilo and bargains on meat are plentiful. Stores like Farmfoods in Portswood, MuscleFood, and even Bookers in Eastleigh if you have a card and transport, offer cheap meat. The deals are out there, you just have to look. Also, while I myself eat meat, there are plenty of non-animal proteins out there for vegetarians and vegans. Nuts, lentils and peanut butter are just a few great non-animal proteins.
- Enjoy yourself
If you don't enjoy exercise and eating certain foods and not others, then don't feel you have to. This is where body shaming does it's harm, making you feel that you need to be a certain size and shape lest you be labelled as 'ugly' or 'fat'. This self-depreciating attitude will only be heightened by a half-hearted effort to swing some weights back and forth and cheat on your diet leading to little if any progress. Like everything in life your heart needs to be in it – just turning up won't hack it. It takes dedication and hard work and should be something that's enjoyed.
- Don't rush yourself
Finally, don't set too ambitious a target. Losing a couple of stone in four weeks for summer is both unrealistic and could be unhealthy. Set realistic targets, give yourself ample time and don't be discouraged if you don't see the results you want to in the time you expected. It's a learning process, so read fitness articles and watch videos. You'll quickly pick up new exercises and recipes to add to your routine and also learn to ignore the 'broscience' which will be found in plenty.

Most break ups happen in the Spring time. People want to be free to date other people in the summer time. But not to worry. If you recently had your heart broken, embrace it and deal with the hurt. Look forward to an awesome summer. Single people are able to get up and go whenever and wherever they please. They are in charge of their own plans. That is the best feeling. Single people do not have to ask permission to cancel date night to go out with friends. They just go and meet up with their friends and meet more new people. Do not be afraid to come out of your shell. Be an extravert and make a new friend every time you go out to a lounge, concert, barbecue, beach, and having lunch in the park. It is a known fact a person can easily make friends when they are out alone. A person is more approachable when alone.
Single people can have fun in the summer too . A person does not always have to be in a relationship to have fun in the Summer. A person does not have to be afraid to go to a barbecue or a lounge alone. He/She will meet people on his/her own. Remember to always be safe when going out alone.

Efficient energy transfer and smoothing effect in laser-irradiated polystyrene foam targets have been observed in preliminary experiments on the PALS iodine laser facility. A theory of laser light absorption region formation and ablation pressure generation in laser-produced plasma of porous matter has been developed and applied for discussion of the results obtained. In particular, two stages of homogenization of the porous matter, important for comprehension of the anomalously high absorption of laser radiation in supercritical foam matter, have been identified: the first, a considerably fast stage of partial homogenization, followed by a much slower second stage, leading to a uniform medium.
