North's Brief Analysis of 2016: Obama's America
I dislike Gary North's writing style immensely and as a prognosticator North has done much to destroy his own credibility. However, in his brief analysis of Dinesh D'Souza's documentary film 2016: Obama's America,1 North presents a straightforward critique directly related to his field of expertise (economics), and I found this article to be a worthwhile read.
In his article entitled If Only D'Souza Were Right, North incisively takes issue with the primary thesis of D'Souza's documentary, that our national economic woes are primarily due to the policies of the Obama administration. On the contrary, North argues, the Obama administration is the 'operational successor of the Bush administration.' I'm sure that must sound preposterous to Democrats and Republicans alike, but on the matters in view, especially the economic matters, North backs up his apparent overstatement.
North focuses our attention upon what he deems to be the best part of the documentary, an interview with David Walker, the former comptroller general of the United States under the last Bush administration. North makes three important observations here.
- 'The deficit is vastly worse than the movie portrays.' Specifically, the documentary focuses attention upon the 'on-budget debt of $15 trillion' while the far more economically relevant figure is the '$222 trillion present value of the unfunded liabilities of the off-budget deficit'.
North cites a Bloomberg article, and here's the relevant part. 'The U.S. fiscal gap, calculated (by us) using the Congressional Budget Office's realistic long-term budget forecast — the Alternative Fiscal Scenario — is now $222 trillion. Last year, it was $211 trillion. The $11 trillion difference — this year's true federal deficit — is 10 times larger than the official deficit and roughly as large as the entire stock of official debt in public hands.'
Seriously, stop a moment and take that in. It's an unimaginable mountain of debt obligation, and far more important to recognise than the much smaller (though equally unimaginable) figure typically bandied about.
- '[Walker] blamed George W. Bush as much as he blamed Obama. He says on camera that the turning point on the deficit began with Bush's presidency. He showed that we are headed for a fiscal disaster, and it may overtake us during the presidency of whoever is elected in 2016.'
North agrees, and emphasises that in relation to our economic situation we are 'dealing with a single political administration, which began in January 2001.' That is, both administrations have pulled in the same direction in relation to the most critical political and economic policies.
- '[N]either Walker nor D'Souza mentions on-screen what should be the obvious constitutional fact — namely, that it is the Congress that legally initiates all spending bills, and it is the House of Representatives that holds the hammer constitutionally.'
As North points out,
We are living in a bipartisan, congressionally mandated, slow-motion train wreck. The Congress of the United States could stop Obama today as easily as it could have stopped Bush. Congress is not interested in stopping the deficit; it is interested in avoiding all responsibility for the annual $1.2 trillion on-budget disaster that is the federal budgetary process.
Finally, North points out that the documentary leaves unaddressed the other big player in the economy, the Federal Reserve System. This agency operates largely as a private banking conglomerate with some Federal governing oversight and involvement at the highest levels. It's structure is designed to allow it to act independently in relation to its most critical powers over the U.S. economy.
North concludes, D'Souza keeps the 'Federal Reserve in the background in the thinking of the viewers, when the Federal Reserve ought to be in the foreground, with the presidency in the background. This is basic economics. D'Souza does not know what he is talking about with respect to economics.'
- Dinesh D'Souza's documentary film 2016: Obama's America is based on D'Souza's book Obama's America: Unmaking the American Dream. Wikipedia describes D'Souza as 'an Indian American conservative political commentator, public intellectual and author who is currently the President of The King's College in New York City.' ↩

From indie director Bruce McDonald (The Tracey Fragments, Hard Core Logo) comes Pontypool, a deliciously taut, intelligently told thriller that breaks all the rules of zombie outbreak films, starting with the most important one: there are no zombies.
What do I mean? If a zombie film has no zombies, what the heck does the word even mean? Well, exactly.
Grizzled veteran actor Stephen McHattie exercises his gruff charm and silky-rough voice as washed-up radio host Grant Mazzy, who starts the morning with announcements of missing cats and snow day rosters, and ends it as the lone broadcaster detailing a mysterious outbreak of violence and illness. The tale is a masterpiece of mediated storytelling: Mazzy and his crew are glued to their helm in the radio station, receiving updates from reporters and civilians in the field, which means that the tension is built by voices and words, not gruesome action scenes.
And it works. Not only does it work; the tension becomes a self-feeding cycle as it gradually dawns on the radio troopers that their reports may be compounding the disaster. This is a lean, elegantly economical piece of storytelling that builds to a horrific crest by allowing us to invest in the players, to piece together their relationships and characters and to imagine for ourselves the horrors offstage… and then the action starts to spill over.

Courtesy of friends JE & AC, who moved out of town over the weekend, we now have a new-to-us ginormous TV in our place. The two best things about this TV, other than the mammoth screen:
1. The Fella will no longer need to complain about "the blacks," i.e., the fuzzy, indistinct gray-to-black range that hampered dark scenes showing on our previous flatscreen TV;
2. I will stop cringing for a split second every so often because my partner has muttered the unexpected phrase "Wow, the blacks are terrible."
It's unanimous!

New Wine
by Kim Harrington
"And no one puts new wine into old
wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins
will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And
no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, The old is
Jesus used the term "new wine" as a description of His ministry and the
Spirit-empowered life. It didn't originate with Him, however. The ancient Hebrew prophets
before Him saw new wine as a symbol of Gods refreshing Spirit, a sign of Gods
blessing and abundance. Its no coincidence that Jesus first miracle was
turning the water into winefiguratively, transforming the life-sustaining waters of
salvation into the vibrant wine of the Holy Ghost.
In Luke chapter five Jesus was approached with some concerns
about His lifestyle. "You eat and drink with sinners... you dont fast,"
etc. Basically the complaint was, "You dont act religious enough, you have
entirely too much fun in church, youre not like the Pharisees or the disciples of
John the Baptist. How can you be a true man of God?" Jesus answered them with a
parable, an illustration about new wine, quoted in our text above. Let me point out three
characteristics of that spiritual brew...
New Wine Is New
Notice that the Lord makes a point of saying "new"
wine, not just any old wine, but new wine, especially as opposed to mellower, vintage
wine. New wine is new. Its this years harvest. Its the
latest wine on the scene.
The ministry of Jesus is the cutting edge of whats
happening in the spiritual realm. He was Gods most recent move back in Galilee. It
was no longer good enough to be a follower of Moses (as the Pharisees claimed to be) or
even a disciple of John. The baptizer wasnt even dead yet, but he was already
yesterdays news. He had been superseded by the Son of God Himself.
The Holy Spirit is always doing something new. God is the God
of the living, the God of now. He has something for every generation. He is forever
raising up new moves of the Spirit, pioneering new things, initiating new thrusts into
uncharted areas. As His last move begins to fizzle out, turning inward, relying more and
more on the arm of the flesh, He starts something new, something often regarded as too
radical by the older folks.
God is radical rather than conservative. How is it then that
the Christian community in the United States today has become known as the guardian of the
old ways, at the far right of the political spectrum? Certainly we share some of the moral
values of the conservatives, but we must operate in a completely different spirit.
Were not looking back with nostalgia upon the good old days, but forward with
anticipation to the kingdom of God.
The children in the wilderness were warned not to eat
yesterdays manna. It became a seething mass of worms and rot if not used in its
time. So it is when Christians refuse to partake of the new things that God is doing. The
old is not good enough, it is becoming rotten, it doesnt sustain the same degree of
spiritual life. You must enter the new, pick todays supply of manna from heaven, and
enjoy the God of the new things!
New Wine Is Active, In Ferment
New wine is not finished. It is still in the fermentation
process. The chemical reaction that forms the alcohol is still going on. Its
bubbling, expanding, releasing gasses. Thats why you cant put new wine in an
old skin. The old skin is dry and not flexible enough to handle the activity within; it
soon cracks, and you lose both the wine and the skin.
So it is with a new move of the Spirit. Unpredictable things
are happening all the time. Its not finished, it hasnt reached its final
state; when it does settle down and fall into a predictable pattern it is no longer a
revival; its business as usual as man finally brings the move of God under his
I have no desire to bring the Holy Spirit under my control.
Im not too crazy about order, not mans order anyway. My father is buried in a
military cemetary. In it are thousands of identical stones, arranged in orderly
rowsseen from any angle the lines are geometrically perfect. Nothing could be more
orderlyor more lifeless.
God is a God of order (1 Cor 14:33,40) but Gods order is
not the order of straight rows and predictable services. When the Holy Spirit is in charge
you may get out by noon and you may not. You may hear two sermons that day or you may hear
none; there may be a time of ministry that looks like complete chaos to those who have
been reared in more traditional religious surroundings. But if the Spirit is orchestrating
the events it is in order. Our own concept of church order is not based on the New
Testament pattern anyway, but rather on the ritualism developed by the church of the
Middle Ages.
You have to leave the Spirit of God room to work in your
lifeif youre too busy to accommodate yourself to His will and timing, then
youre too busy. He must also have liberty to do what He desires in our churches. How
dare we put the Lord on a timetable? How dare we dictate to Him when He can and cannot
move among us? How dare we relegate the gifts of the Spirit to a few seconds time
after the worship, in which we allow a message in tongues or an occasional prophecy? How
can we say we are the church of Christ if He is not allowed to have His way in our midst?
We must allow the Holy Spirit sufficient room to move among
our doctrines as well. No, we wont be replacing fundamentals such as the deity of
Christ or salvation by grace through faith. But many of our other teachings and practices
are far too restrictive. A move of the Spirit will force the rethinking of much of our
scriptural understanding and our methodology. Is your skin flexible enough to handle new
Pastor John Arnott of the Toronto Airport Vineyard said,
"God is offending our minds to test our hearts." He is pushing our religious
wineskins to the limit to see if were flexible enough to handle the great work that
He desires to do in our day. The manifestations are as uncommon as have been seen for a
few decades, but the needs of this hour call for strong medicine. The conditions are
extreme, there is much to do, and the time is short. Look for God to institute even more
radical measures in the next few years. New wine is active, in ferment, ever changing and
repositioning itself. Let the Holy Spirit do what He will.
New Wine Is Intoxicating
The disciples in Acts chapter two were accused of drunkenness
because they were acting drunk! If someone is walking straight and has his emotions
under control he wont be accused of having too much to drink. If hes speaking
an unintelligible language he may be accused of being a foreigner, or even a nut, but not
a drunk! Peter replied that it was only nine oclock in the morning, that there
hadnt been enough time yet to drink enough to get as drunk as they were!
"Its the Holy Spirit," he explained, "as prophesied by Joel."
"excess" has been a characteristic of almost every
historical revival. Manifestations of drunkenness are not uncommon. Jonathan
Edwards, one of the great theologians and thinkers of American history, experienced this
sort of behavior in his meetings during the Great Awakening of the Eighteenth Century.
His wife was often so drunk in the Spirit that her head would fall into her food at
the dinner table. A hundred years later, Evangelist Charles Finney reported people falling
off the benches while he preached. Efforts to revive them or bring a semblance of order to
the meetings were often in vain. In the original Methodist camp-meetings, people were laid
out like cordwood as they fell under the power of the Holy Ghost. Peter Cartwright spoke
of heads snapping like whips as the convicting power of the Spirit pierced their hearts.
The Azuza Street and Latter Rain revivals of the Twentieth Century experienced similar
manifestations: drunkenness, falling and fainting, uncontrollable laughter and weeping.
Like it or not, this is what happens during a move of God.
Paul exhorted the Ephesians, "be not drunk with
wine...but be filled with the Spirit," (5:18). In his mind the two conditions were
similar or at least comparable in some respects. As weve said, new wine is associated in the Old and New
Testaments with the blessing and joy of the Holy Spirit. Judges 9:13 says that "new
wine cheers both God and men." Certainly God doesnt drink earthly wine, but He
rejoices in the wine of the Spirit, and the cheer that it produces in His children. If
Bible scholars recognize wine as a symbol of the Holy Ghost, why should they be surprised
if people act drunk when they get in the Spirit?
We do not seek the manifestations. We do not seek the
laughter, or the falling down. If laughter itself is spiritual, lets rent a Laurel
and Hardy movie! If falling is a blessing, in and of itself, let's all dive onto the
floor! We seek the Manifestor, we seek a genuine touch of God and the conversion it
brings. But understand that there can be no manifestations without the Manifestora
manifestation is simply the outward display of the inward reality. The power of God
is real. If someone goes to church and gets drunk without drinking, its a
reasonable assumption to say that they've encountered the Holy Spirit and tasted of the
new wine.
No Wine For The Satisfied
Notice the final statement of Jesus regarding the new wine of
His ministry. "And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he
says, The old is better," (vs 39). Those who are satisfied with what
they already have will not be willing to drink of the new. Those who like
business-as-usual churchianity will resist the rocking of their religious boats. The
person who is content in a time of spiritual decline will not be happy in a time of
revival. The two conditions are totally contrary to each other.
But the Holy Spirit knows how to make even the smugly
self-satisfied to hunger and thirst for new depth in their walk with Jesus. He knows
how to expose their inner needs and challenge them to come and drink, to "taste and
see that the Lord is good." Dont force people along against their will,
just shine all the brighter so that your joy will create a thirst in them for the wine
youre drinking.
And if youre still undecided about the new wine and the
present refreshing wave of the Spirit, you neednt be afraid. Its of God.
History, the Bible, and every responsible student of revival in the land give it their
unanimous support. The only danger is that you may miss what God has for you today by
clinging stubbornly to the stale old drink youve been nursing all these years. Reach
for the new wine and be revived.

What does marijuana plant look like? Is it the same as hemp? Does marijuana bring the same high as hemp? Can it be used medically? Here are the questions you have probably asked yourself in order to figure out what things make hemp and marijuana different. Keep reading to finally find out.
Can hemp get you high?
Remember that hemp is not a recreational drug. The reason for that is the low level of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in its content—just 0.5 percent. The marijuana plants that you are used to smokeing to feel euphoric usually contain 15 percent of THC. A big difference, right? However, hemp produces another cannabinoid, known as CBD, the non-psychoactive component of the plant, which blocks that feeling of high that is usually associated with cannabis. Moreover, CBD works as a great treatment for different diseases. A study conducted at the National Center for Biotechnology Information reports that CBD helps patients with arthritis, cancer, and glaucoma.
Industrial uses
Aside from medical use, hemp is widely used to produce different products, from building materials and car parts to ballistic materials and petroleum cleaning products. Hemp grows up to 16 feet and grows really quickly. According to the LA Times, in 2013, Canadian companies made more than $200 per acre of hemp. Let us remind you that hemp was legalized in Canada in 1998.
Hemp is restricted all around the Unites States. Nevertheless, many economists predict an economic boost in case hemp is legalized. Aside from the possible benefits for the economy, the legalization of hemp industry would provide the society with a new sustainable material for plastics and paper. Let us all agree that would have a significant effect on the environment.
History of hemp
The earliest evidence of hemp cultivation comes from 10,000 BC from China, where this plant was used for clothing, paper, and bowstrings. By the second century AD, the Chinese physicians were using the plant as an anesthetic, and that is really impressive. By the 16th century, the Europeans started to use hemp for food and textiles. In America, the restriction on hemp began in 1937 and finished in 1998 after a 60-year ban.

"Night Fires," a novel by Cameron University professor George E. Stanley, was named Best Young Adult Book at the Oklahoma Book Awards, held Saturday, April 17, at the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. "Night Fires" was published in August 2009 by Simon & Schuster/Aladdin Books.
"This award is extremely important to me, because Oklahoma is extremely important to me," says Dr. Stanley, who grew up in Memphis, Texas but whose family is rooted in the state of Oklahoma. He recalls visiting his grandparents and other family members during his childhood, a time when he came to consider Oklahoma "paradise." A member of the Cameron faculty since 1970, he says, "It never occurred to me back then that I would spend my entire professional life in Oklahoma, but I have, and it was happenstance, but Oklahoma is still paradise."
The School Library Journal has called "Night Fires", "a thought-provoking novel about racism in rural Oklahoma." Highly charged and provocative, the volume explores the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in 1920's Oklahoma and the danger of succumbing to peer pressure. Aimed at children ages 8-12, it is a powerful depiction of a shameful chapter in American history, as well as a deeply personal story of a boy's struggle to discover who his father was - and who he wants to become.
Dr. George Edward Stanley, Professor of African and Middle-Eastern Languages and Linguistics, was inducted into the Cameron University Faculty Hall of Fame in 2005. Other honors for Stanley include a Fulbright Professorship to the University N'Djamena, Chad; National Member of the Year from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators; and induction into the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame.
He has authored more than 100 books for young people, more than 200 short stories which have appeared in American, British, Irish and South African magazines, and linguistics articles for major international journals. Dr. Stanley is also the author of "Writing Short Stories for Young People," published by Writer's Digest Books. His next children's book, "Teddy Kennedy: Lion of the Senate," part of the Childhood of Famous Americans series, is scheduled for release in August.
The Oklahoma Book Awards, presented by the Oklahoma Center for the Book, the state affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, are given each year in fiction, non-fiction, children/young adult, poetry, and design/illustration categories for work written by an Oklahoman or about Oklahoma. Winners were selected by a panel of judges representing a range of expertise in the writing and publishing fields.

OK, I'm not a "slogan" guy but I read a slogan that I'm going to run by you now. "To Plant A Garden Is To Believe In Tomorrow". Is that too fruity tooty for you guys? Usually, it would be for me. 🙂 but cancer makes you see some things differently than you did before. This year I planted what I call my anticancer garden. I realized this year that not only was this saying true but it was especially true about me.
To Plant A Garden Is To Believe In Tomorrow
So, before I was a software engineer I worked in construction, listened to rock and was a bit rough and tumble. Yes, I admit it. 🙂 So, cute signs and slogans aren't usually my thing but there's a tenacity in that saying that I like. In my mind I'm picturing it tattooed on one of my construction friends right next to the grim reaper and the skulls. No?
OK, I'm getting carried away. Seriously though, it's a lot tougher than it sounds. It's like popping a strawberry on your middle digit and giving cancer the old "one fingered salute". If only cancer were a person…hmmm…what I would do. So, since I can't do those things I planted my anticancer garden. 🙂 The ultimate act of rebellion for a cancer patient, eh? Create, grow, do good, feed others and yourself. I love rebelling. 🙂
My Anticancer Garden
I am lucky to have moved into the neighborhood I moved in to. We have only been here less than a year and we are friends with almost everyone on the block and some of their friends from other neighborhoods too. Luckily for me, I found a new friend to build me some raised garden boxes. They are 20 feet long and 20 inches high and 4 feet wide. I built two. So, yes, we have a lot of garden. He added a bench seat all around the edges so that I could sit if I got tired. I've already used that feature quite a bit.
I also had another friend create a wire system for 4 trees that I will grow in the espalier style. Growing fruit in the espalier style is when you train the fruit trees to grow sideways rather than up. It's a space saving way to grow fruit. The best part is that the fruit is never higher than 6 feet tall or as low as you would like it. This is all part of my attempt at making a potager garden which is basically a decorative kitchen garden inspired by the French.
What I'm Growing
I decided to grow things that were either hard to get organically or were expensive or were part of my cancer fight. I consider organic to be pesticide free and NOT GMO.This year I purchased all of my seeds from Baker Creek at RareSeeds.Com and I got my fruit trees from Stark Brothers.
I planted two apple trees. One gold rush and a pollinator for it that is a red apple. I purchased apple trees because they are part of the "dirty dozen". If you haven't heard about the dirty dozen it is a list of the fruits and veggies most contaminated with pesticides. Apples are on the list. You can see a list here.
I planted a cherry tree because we all love cherries and if you want to eat them without pesticides start wiping off every stinking cherry or enjoy your fruit flavored pesticides.
I planted a nectarine tree because I don't like the skin on peaches and I think peaches are part of the dirty dozen too.
I planted corn. It's almost impossible to buy corn without getting a "frankin-food". Corn is almost completely GMO now. Even the seeds are GMO now. You have to purchase heirloom seeds that have been tested for GMOs. I planted Golden Bantam which is a variety that goes back to the turn of the century. Wish me luck, I heard corn was difficult.
I planted beans. I planted fava beans and pole beans to grow up the corn. I'm working on planting the 3 sisters which are corn, squash and pole beans. You plant them together. The beans grow up the corn, the squash provides a ground cover with vines and the corn benefits from the nitrogen the beans leave behind. At least that's the plan. Getting organic beans is difficult and they are small so if you don't get organic you are either wiping each bean or eating pesticides. That's the biggest reason for growing them aside from the fact that they are pretty easy. 🙂
I planted Onions. Need I say more. Onions, garlic and all of the plants from the allium family are constantly mentioned in clinical studies as cancer fighting foods. I wrote a short post on cancer fighting foods that you can read here.
I planted Peas and Turnips cuz I like 'em. No real reason except they taste good to me. 🙂
I planted a ton of summer squash. Believe it or not, it's hard to get zucchini or summer squash that isn't GMO now. Gross. So, I planted a bunch. Enough that my wife rolled her eyes and threatened me with bodily harm. Can you say zucchini bread? 🙂
My hospital stay interrupted my garden plans but I plan to finish up with tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, wax beans, bush beans and more. I will keep you updated with our garden's progress.

All over the word before Western medicine was born and the science of curing the sick, there have been several forms of healing. We call it today "Alternative Healing" and another day "alternative medicine", but they are the same, though to some of us we might be coming across this the first time while to some others, we know about this and practice it. Alternative healing is treating the mind and body without opting for prescription drugs, or possibly more conventional treatment methods. These can comprise of but are not limited to meditative therapy, herbal healing, acupuncture and acupressure along with several others. It could possibly be a matter of changing your diet plan, getting the right kind of exercise, etc., that can potentially position you on the road to better overall health.
It is quite obvious that our body is an amazing thing, surviving from the least to the most complex serious injuries and even recovering from the most critical illnesses. In the time of "old", people relied on "Alternative Healing" to solve whatever health problems they may be having and that was because it was the only means of resolving health issues. However, some western nations think this is only common among the Asian nations and African nations but research shows that even Native Americans use this form of healing. Have you in anytime thought about what could be the healing therapy for those who never had the opportunity of meeting this modern world or let's better say the advent of this conventional therapy. In this present day, we have come to rely so heavily on modern medicine forgetting how our body can easily heal with a little assistance from nature.
These techniques have been used for hundreds of years to treat and cure lots of dissimilar ailments. From cancer to depression and just about everything in between. The unique ability that makes them totally different and in many cases more successful when compared with chemically based or conventional treatments is the fact that they don't just simply treat a definite part of the body, they treat the whole body entirely.
St. Louis Alternative Healthcare
On many occasions, alternative healing methods are a final recourse for some people. Whether it is because the conventional medication has been unsuccessful to help, or perhaps because they simply cannot manage to pay for chemotherapy, expensive medications, and seek other methods. Some people rely on alternative healing methods first, on account of the fears that go along with conventional medical therapies. For Regardless of what the case may be, more and more people are seeking alternative healing and finding that this help way more, is safer, and more affordable.
Since Alternative Healing relies mostly on natural methods and ingredients, there is very little risk of side effects or damage to the body. However, as with any outside influences on the body, users of alternative healing therapies should proceed with caution when introducing any new elements into their body.
Given that Alternative healing relies mainly on natural methods and constituents, there is certainly a minimal risk of side effects or harm to the body. On the other hand, just like any outside influences on the human body, users of alternative healing may want to proceed with extreme care when introducing any different elements into their body system.

Straight from DJ Aaron C
Aaron C with Crowd Control Entertainment on KMIR with Bryan Gallo
December 20th, 2016
This was fun and a little nerve wrecking also. I had the opportunity to feature my company Crowd Control Entertainment on KMIR recently on their business showcase show Desert Living alongside my partner Jason aka DJ Cre-8. Most you know I've been in the desert for almost 6 years now. I got a chance to talk about how I made connections in the Valley and how I've been here ever since!
Here is the full 8 minute video of Alec Jason Amaton and Aaron Cortes On Desert Living KMIR with the man himself Bryan Gallo Talking all about Crowd Control Entertainment and what we've been doing in the Coachella Valley

Today has been hard. I woke up to a reminder of my grief. A very good friend of mine sent me a letter written by Ram Dass to the parents of an 11-year old girl who was murdered. What she sent me was an audio link recorded by the parents, prefaced by the story of their loss. I am not clever enough to figure out how to share that audio link, so I will just give the following link for those who are interested in reading the letter: http://www.ramdasstapes.org/rachels%20letter.htm
This evening on my way home I was listening to a really beautifully written book. The Dog Stars by Peter Heller is a post-apocalyptic novel, about a man who survives a flu that wipes out most of the world's population. He lives a mostly solitary existence, with one human companion, and with Jasper, his dog. Tonight on my way home, his dog died, and Heller's description of grief is one of the most moving I have ever read. I held out as long as I could, but I must confess I sobbed my way through much of the last leg of my drive. It's always so embarrassing when I do that! What must all those people in all those other cars think? Well, probably nothing, to be honest. Or perhaps they think it has something to do with the bumper sticker on my car. And of course, they are right, because once grief enters your heart, it is in your pores (as Heller says), and you cannot experience it again (even vicariously through a book or movie) apart from that which is a part of you.
Heller said of his dog, "you are now the path on which I walk." (Perhaps not an exact quote, since this was an audiobook I was listening to.) Difficult phrase to grasp, and yet I grasp it. "You are the path on which I walk." I am sure there are those out there who will particularly not understand this kind of feeling about animals, and if you don't, that's fine, because the point is the experience of loss and grief, not the object of it. What you love deeply becomes a part of your path, even when it's gone.
I can't figure out whether I am supremely optimistic or depressive. On the one hand, the knowledge of loss is my companion, but on the other hand, I am doggedly determined to make the experience of loss into something positive in life. Another little gem I came across today (on Facebook) was quote attributed to Viktor Frankl: "What is to give light must endure burning." All this pain, all this hurt, cannot be for nothing. My daughter's suffering cannot be for nothing. She
All of your suffering cannot be for nothing, whoever you are and whatever you have loved and lost.
And yet sometimes, it is just an ache in the heart, a weight in the limbs. When I came home, I didn't know whether I should go out and walk it off, or curl up in a ball and go to sleep. So instead I sat down and wrote this, which is disjointed and circular I know. But it's just a piece of a story which has not yet been fully written.
Meanwhile, let me recommend The Dog Stars. Perhaps at the end of everything, Heller can make more sense of it than I do.

Looking for tips and advice for you to travel fro free? I'm inviting you to combine our ideas to find ways to go to any country of the world without spending a single dollar (or a little sum of money compared to the value of the trip)!
I decided to publish this article on my travel blog because I realize how lucky I am as I got free travel trips fairly regularly (mainly thanks to the company for which I work), but also because I think you are likely to seek advice and tips for finding a cheap trip.
Travel and work at your new destination
– Make yourself hired by a company that regularly produces an incentive or seminars. This type of living aims to motivate employees. Thus, you will be invited to participate in a tailor-made program of activities, meals, a few kilometers from home, in the neighboring department, in a neighboring country and why not anywhere in the world? For the company, this is a good solution to revitalize its team members, and it allows employees to travel for free. I was able to visit the city of New York, Tokyo, and Rome without having to shell out money from my pocket.
– Travel free for professional reasons.
You are a journalist, military, photographer, commercial agent… you multiply your chances to charge you an airline ticket by your company or a partner company to reach the other side of the world. The advantage is that you have no fees to pay. However, you must work on site (and as you will understand, this is the downside).
Engage in an association and go volunteer in a city or a country where there's need for your help. Of course, one must not only choose this option for free travel, he/she will also be engaged in the mission entrusted throughout the stay, that can include the construction of a schools and hospitals in poor countries. More simply, you can also volunteer for an event that will take place in any country (you will take part in a free music festival just in charge of preparing the stage before the show, for example).
– Becoming the language teacher for a summer school is another option. Whether you speak only English or you are multilingual, it is likely that a school or university is looking for someone like you, am sure you will be happy to teach your native language in another country. Your stay will probably be fully supported.

To Alexander Hamilton from William S. Smith, 17 April 1799
From William S. Smith, 17 April 1799
East Chester April 17th. 1799.
I have received a Letter from Capt. Church of the 12th. inst. covering a copy of one of the 11th. from Mr. Simmons addressed to you, which states that a Warrant has issued for three thousand five Hundred and twenty Dollars—that the amount is forwarded to Mr. Fish, to be paid to the officers on account of the recruiting service, which he is directed to receive grant his receipts and disburse agreably to your directions—
I have also been honoured by the receipt of your favour of the 15th. inst. and am of opinion that the cloathing arms and accoutrements of the Regiment should be deposited at the rendezvous of each grand Divission, that there, in the first instance, the recruits should be cloathed, armed, and disciplined untill they are fit to march to the regimental rendezvous, under the command of a Commissioned officer, who will either remain with the regiment or return to his recruiting district as circumstances may render proper.
The first Grand divission consisting of the counties of Richmond, Kings, Queens, Suffolk, New York West Chester, Dutchess, Columbia, and Renselear, will be considered under the immediate superintendance of Major Wilcocks, whose station will either be at the town of west Chester, or in its Vicinity on the Bronks the latter position I should prefer, both on account of health and convenience, provided arrangements could be made to obtain the use of two large buildings erected by Mr. Greenleaf (for a Cotton manufactory) as barracks for the troops—the town of west Chester cannot even afford accommodation for the regimental staff—while on the Bronks the whole Corps can be either encamped, advantageously or occupy the Buildings alluded to—they will be conveniently posted for wood & water—the communication to New York is more easy both by Land and Water—they will be more retired for the purposes of early discipline, and not so much incommode the Inhabitants or be incommoded by them as if stationed in the Villiage.
This property is at present under the management of Mr. Daniel Ludlow, with whom I suppose arrangements could be made, both satisfactory to him and advantageous to the Regiment
Major Wilcocks is ready to inter upon the recruiting service, with the Captains and Lieutenants of District No. 1. and will receive from you such a proportion of the recruiting Money and such interior instructions, as you may think proper to give & I doubt not he will carefully guard the one and promptly execute the other to your intire satisfaction—
It appears to me essential in the present case that the officers of the 12th. should be released from the General Court martial, our time is precious & their attention to the immediate recruiting of the Regiment, should not in any mann⟨er⟩ be interrupted—it would be a most mortifying subject to me, should exigencies arise, from foreign or domestick causes & the 12th. Regiment not be prompt and early in the field.
District No. 2. must in the present instance be considered under the direction of Capt. Dowe J. Fondy, as the oldest officer (Major Hutton not having accepted his appointment) I have desired Major Wilcocks to order him to attend here with all possible dispatch, he will of course on his arrival receipt for, and distribute the money to the respective Captains in No. 2. his station and the rendezvous for the recruits in the first instance will be Newburgh as the most convenient place of deposit, and communication, either with the Western subdistricts or those situated northerly & Easterly on the Hudson—
I have the honor to be Sir, Your most Obedt Humble Sert.
W. S. Smith

I don't know, man. The first election I ever had strong feelings about was 2000, and we all know how that turned out. In so many ways, this election was a victory. A victory for Obama, a victory for the Democratic coalition, a victory for gay marriage, a victory for women, a victory over rape apologists, a victory over Karl Rove and Super PAC money, a victory for numbers over feelings.
There's a famous quote from MLK that I spend a lot of time thinking about: the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." I don't think it necessarily arcs smoothly or that the arc is never interrupted, but I think I could see it bending last night.
Four more years, baby. Let's see what we can do with it.

I was in the Baltimore/DC area this past weekend meeting my new niece and nephew (twins!) and while the visit was short, it was great! It's always relaxing to be and my parent's in law and, while I was there, mommy in law taught me how to make delish popovers. Are you familiar with these exquisite rolls? A popover is a light, hollow roll made from an egg, flour, and butter batter. YUM! Here's the recipe in case you're feeling inspired...
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted1.5 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1.5 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Heat over to 400 degrees and brush the cups of the pan with butter (popovers are sold at Williams Sonoma but you can use a regular muffin pan)

There are no theories in the Exceptional Leaders Playbook, just proven leadership lessons delivered in a progressive, easy to implement way.
What Exceptional Leaders Know
The #1 Best Selling Book for Leaders Everywhere, now in it's second edition.
There is no shortage of leadership and management titles available to business and organizational leaders who want to improve their skills. Most of these books lack a "nuts and bolts" approach to the subject and do not offer specific and practical lessons for ambitious leaders. Simply put, they are not "user friendly". With 'What Exceptional Leaders Know' we are providing field-proven leadership lessons and observations. These practical lessons are organized into six sections, each focused on a key set of high-level leadership skills.

Actress Olivia Wilde is one of the latest celebrities to do the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but hers has a bit of a twist.
Instead of ice water, the 30-year-old new mom doused herself with ice cold breast milk.
"I hope it's ok, I couldn't find any water so I'm going to use breast milk," Wilde said in the video. "It took me all night to make this."
Wilde challenged New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, longtime women's rights advocate Gloria Steinem, and Prince, and said she was dedicating her challenge to her friend Scott Lew.
The known breastfeeding advocate was recently photographed for the September issue of Glamour magazine breastfeeding her 4-month-old Otis.

Before telling you of two excellent white wine bargains for summer, I have an equally great joke for you that has nothing to do with them, or anything else that's relevant to my customary matter. Well, there is a connection, but it is simply that I was drinking one of them (me lying on sofa having supper, feet resting on dog, dinner plate resting on increasingly rounded stomach; supper featuring delicious smoked trout) while reading something that recalled the joke to me.
So I'd better say what I was reading – it was a wonderful short essay, in a year-old New Yorker magazine, by John Updike (who died earlier this year), entitled 'A desert encounter', in which the author tells of some encounters he had while finding the hat he had lost. Unfortunately you need a subscription to read it online, so the link is of little value unless you want to read a brief, inadequate summary.
The story reflects on irony, and as soon as my smoked trout was finished I went in search of the joke it prompted me to hazily recall, and, thanks to the marvels of the google age, I found it. Here it is – a cod newspaper account (who actually wrote it, I have no idea) of how:
Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony. "It was weird," Fullmer said, "I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "great weather, eh?" and I thought "wait a minute, no way is it great weather." Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate.
Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use irony himself in future. "I'm like using it all the time," he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them to shit and I said, 'hey, great weather!'"
Yes, well, no irony about the wines. Last week I opened (eventually) a bottle of the great Charles Back's Goats do Roam White 2009 that he had given me many months ago when he was showing me the shiny new packaging intended for America. I thought it was an absolutely delicious addition to the cheaper end of the magnificent range of white blends that the Cape is producing these days at prices from little to lot. But then, checking for its price in Pick 'n Pay, I discovered that the currently available version (in the old packaging) is the 2008, so I thought I'd better buy a bottle, for R39. (The label tells me that the bottle was "Imported by KWI – Belgium", so I suspect that it's part of a failed export order, of which there are very many clogging up the Cape right now.)
Although it's not quite as good as the 2009, this was also delicious, and I had no trouble downing half a bottle with the aforementioned smoked trout. Both vintages are blissfully unoaked – and are based on viognier, which often means big, blowsy stuff, billowing forth perfumed excessiveness, but not here. Things like grenache blanc make it tasty, grown-up and very pleasant with food, with jokes or just by itself.
Another great white bargain, but a single-varietal, is the Oude Denneboom Grysbok Chenin Blanc 2009, a recent release which the Grape tasting team sampled last week. It costs R38 and you're unlikely to do much better (we rated it between 15 and 16 out of 20): packed with flavours like pineapple, thatch and melon, it's unaggressive, but with a fresh, firm acidity, a decent ripe concentration and texture, and plenty of unpretentious tastiness. Oude Denneboom is one of those Voor-Paardeberg places that have been around for a long time producing various things and (liberated by the Back-Sadie revolution in the southern Swartland of which V-P should be, but isn't – yet? – a part) is now bottling wine for itself: in this case since 2003.
The picture alongside comes off the website and I have no idea what it's about, though it looks like one of those monstrous trophies awarded at the Young Wine Show. The farm is owned by one of the many de Waals that have brought lustre to Cape wine over the years (please – if anyone can tell me more about JP de Waal who was the general manager of Groot Constantia until an untimely death in 1901, I'd be grateful to hear more: he's become a bit of a hero of mine, from what I've read) so this is presumably an older de Waal.
I confess that this was my first Oude Denneboom wine, but I trust it will not be my last – especially as the website makes it look like a nice place, run by nice people (I hope that's the case). Though whether irony has come to the Voor-Paardeberg, I'm unsure – judging by the photos and text on the website, it seems just possible.

Walk #1 Done, Can't wait for #2 too!
Here was the star member of my team in NYC this morning, a labradoodle named MARTIN! We had a great walk, and I was particularly proud to have my daughter with me, enjoying the fun. Her favorite was the big blow-up fire engine slide, at the end, of course! It was great to see so many people make it out despite the weather. It rained like a %^&*! for the walk to Brooklyn on the bridge, but the walk back was amazing - 69 degrees, Sunny and gorgeous. Hope all you New Yorkers enjoyed your walk as well. I'm heading up for the Oct. 7th walk in Boston, if you see me say hello.

Frozen Shoulder
So....after about 6 months of trying to ignore a problem with my shoulder, I finally stopped in to the Spine Institute to get an exam. I have a frozen shoulder, which I learned was not uncommon in diabetics. A few small exercises and a possible cortisone shot and its over, whew!~ Other diabetics out there with a frozen shoulder? I am really curious about whether it has recurred or moved to the other shoulder. Thanks for you comments!
This year I decided to walk in NYC and in Boston in order to support my Type 1 brother, who I don't think has ever done a walk for JDRF. I am also walking in honor of a friend whose brother died of Type 1 this year, and for all of the people I know who are affected by this disease. To my huge suprise, when I reached out to my work community for the zillionth year in a row ...they were so supportive that I was moved to tears. People who work with me everday notice that I'm a diabetic and sometimes that makes me uncomfortable. However, when I realize how much they care about my health, and how much they hope to see research lead to a cure, I feel a lot less like a freak! I am really lucky to work with such amazing people. I hope those of you who are reading this are participating in a walk for JDRF too...have a great walk! (Here is my walk site...they are very easy to set up and use online! http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=86442347 )

Diabetes Got My Gold...IHT

Being "High Maintenance"
The new pump is wonderful, much more of an improvement than I expected. I am learning to fine-tune the Bolus Wizard features, something that has forced me to more closely evaluate my ratios and basal rates - it's also provided me with a good test of my carb counting (ahem estimating) abilities. A little frustrating, but all for the better! However, with the new BD Logic meter, I am now the proud owner of well, too many meters! What to do, what to do.
My little story goes like this - while whiling away the hours at a pals lake house, I noticed that my pump tubing was filling with blood. And, because it was a Murphy's Law kind of day that began with me trying to squeeze 2 ml of shampoo out of a bottle, my spare kit of stuff was safely stored in - - my kitchen cabinet 2 hours away. I have a kitchen cabinet dedicated to all things medical. Looking in, you might consider me a neglectful parent as the Snoopy Bandaid box is smushed below a mountain of infusion sets, but such is the nature of medical packaging. Anyway, I got home and hooked back up without incident. Looking into my mountain of over-plasticized goodness, I decide to solve this problem with one of the tips I read in "Diabetes Burn-Out." I decided to create not just one extra kit but 4; one for work, one for the car, one for the "road," and one for my colleague who I've given the glucagon schpeil to. That way, I will never forget to move the one from the car back to the house and vice versa. Over the years I'd gotten several new meters, so each kit would have an infusion set, meter, some old strips, a few syringes, a bottle of Novolog with enough "dregs" in it to get me home, and some other obvious things. After packing them, I looked at all my black and jewel-toned cases with pride.
All I needed now were old test strips. I was formerly using a LifeScan OneTouch meter, and I still had some strips on my prescription. I called them in and headed to the pharmacy, deftly avoiding the meltdown my daughter would have if we passed the Teen Titans backpack in isle 3. When I got there my very kind pharmacist had some news for me.....I'M NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM. Apparently, one can only have strips from one company (or for one meter?) at a time - I cannot be currently using a BD meter and at the same time order a LifeScan strip. What??? I called my insurance company, who forwarded me to my prescription company. They said that I will have to file an appeal to have "duplicate therapy." Pointing out that if I tested my blood sugar twice as much that would probably save them money in the end didn't help. This was going to require calling the insurance company again, the prescription company again, the pharmacy again, etc. Oh well - I'll keep those reading posted...

Its here~
Well, the new 522 (I think I had the model # wrong before) is now - on me....I have a lot of reading to do, more than I expected! I'm very impressed with the Bolus Wizard calculator, which is new to me. Have any of you had to adjust your "active insulin time?" I read an interesting article on Diabetesnet.Com about how the timing is often underestimated. Any thoughts? Hope all is well out there in the IDDM-world for you all.
New Pump Coming in the Mail Today.....
I am excited about getting this new pump (pump system?) today. My 511, apparently, is out of date, no longer servicable. Anyone have tips for the upgrade?

Summer Pumping Issue #2
On the way to my "surprise birthday event" with my husband he said something hilarious - "I don't want to give my secret away, but how would you keep your pump dry for 2 hours anyway?"....Hmmmmm. Driving by a huge billboard for white water tubing down the Esopus Creek gave the whole thing away. We stopped in a local camping store and bought a water proof bag and double wrapped my pump. I wore a pair if cargo pants and put my pump into the side pocket, took the bus to the drop off point and WHOOSH! I was hurled down the river 2 1/2 miles. It was insanely fun. I thought it would be leisurely, but it was like an amusement park ride! I was bumped out of the tube twice and even got stuck in a tree!! Anyway, when we returned to the river bank we checked on the pump status - - NOT DRY. Not soaked, still working, but not dry. I was relieved that my pump was water resistant. But if you've ever considered a canoe bag for your pump, I would suggest getting that gummy earplub material to wrap around the tubing and then using a hard case with a hole drilled in it instead of a flexible one. And then, definitely go down the river!!!

Lifestyle Changes Vs. Management
A response to a post of mine got me thinking about the ways people deal with blood sugar control - via management (counting carbs, adjusting ratios, choosing the right endocrinologist, selecting equipment, calculating X-carbs, etc) and lifestyle issues (reducing stress, having good communication with your healthcare team, self-confidence, sense of community, etc). I've tried to keep an "eye" on which approach is dominating my thinking at any given time. Am I checking every post-prandial number or am I getting enough sleep? Am I sticking to the numbers and checking my daily averages and totals in chart form, or am I taking that precious half hour to talk to a loved one about how being a diabetic makes me feel? Am I carefully monitoring my blood sugar through out a work out or am I taking my friend up on an offer to go for long walk without focusing on being a diabetic? Sure, one can do both, but it isn't as easy as it sounds, and its in these little moments that balances shift. The management approach has clear results that can be easily quantified. The other approach, when not directly related to carbohydrates and insulin, is not easily quantified, and yet seems to be more than just subjective. While this dichotomy is being used to make a point, I think it is interesting that one "mindset" - management - can induce stress more easily - it can feel like a game that you keep trying to "beat" but never succeed at conquering. The other "mindset" - changing lifestyle choices - by its very nature is supposed to reduce that sense of failure.

Yesterday was exhilarating. The three coastal cities we traveled to were the epitome of Scottish beauty – I literally have hundreds of photos on my camera, and combined, they still don't capture the full beauty of what I witnessed on the trip. Please, go see it yourself!
After the day trip to Dundee yesterday, I came home, went to bed, and once again, awoke at 7:30am (almost missed the bus!!!). I booked the trip alone, but luckily ran into some old travel companions, and we had an awesome time.
First stop was Dundee, a small, and frankly pretty uninteresting town, on the Scottish coast. We only stopped for an hour, and it was mainly a place to rest, grab some tea and coffee, and learn a little Dundee history.
The place is known for its "walking penguins," seen below. [I originally thought that meant there would be penguins walking around the city. Was a little bit disappointed.]
We then headed to the Dundee Cathedral, which was pretty standard: pretty glass-stained windows, organ…the usual.
…and the streets were very quaint, with many lovely cafes, but they were all closed 😦 But to be fair, it's a pretty lazy city in a fairly lazy country 😉 Eventually we found one that was open, and I got a small mocha and coconut lime cake. Mission accomplished.
After Dundee, we hit the main event: Stonehaven. And it was as beautiful as all of the photos on the internet suggest! First sight of the castle lining the seascape took my breath away, and the tall wheaty grass just made it all the more beautiful.
The castle's name is Dunnottar Castle, and it inspired the setting of Disney's Brave. We couldn't go inside (it's ruins at this point), but there were so many places to explore around the castle.
There were two paths once we approached the castle, and we went down the left one first, which led us to the beach and the sea below the castle. Stonehaven (along with the other cities we visited) borders the North Sea, so of course the water was very cold, but we found a few crabs floating around. The beach was very rocky, but they were all of beautiful colors – the green moss was a stark contrast against the reddish-brown hues of the beach.
After exploring the beach, we headed back up to the hill across from the castle, overlooking the sea.
After that, we headed over to our final destination, Aberdeen. In Aberdeen, two rivers meet: Dee, and Don. "Aber" means joining, and "deen" is the combination of those two river names: hence, the city's name, Aberdeen. The city is very gray, also known as the "Granite City", but it wasn't a depressing gray – more of a light gray, full of life and charm. Very unique city.
It took us an hour to find someplace to eat (lol), but we finally settled on The Monkey House. Aberdeen is known for their Angus steaks, so I splurged a bit and ordered one. Pretty good.
In the end, we went to see another cathedral, but it had been closed since 2008, so we couldn't go inside. However, the outside was made of granite, so it had unique, light gray stonework that was very pretty to look at.
Finally, we made our way to the Harbor, where we found an excuse to use our selfie stick (to the amusement of passerby's), and finally, to the beach.
And then a 2.5 hour ride home, where I slept peacefully the whole ride. Awesome weekend!

J.D. Vance is an investor, commentator, and author of the #1 New York Times best seller Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, described by the National Review as a "brilliant book" and by The Economist as "one of the most important" reads of 2016. Ron Howard and Brian Grazer of Imagine Entertainment have announced plans to produce a movie based on Vance's book.
Raised by his working-class grandparents in Middletown, Ohio, Vance graduated from Middletown High School in 2003 and then immediately enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. During his time in the Marines, he deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
When he finished his four-year enlistment, Vance enrolled at Ohio State University, where he studied political science and philosophy, and helped coordinate the university's bipartisan voter education drive in 2008. After graduating from college, he studied at Yale Law School, where he worked at Yale's Veterans Legal Services Clinic, providing free legal counsel to veterans of our nation's wars in Vietnam and Iraq. Vance earned his law degree in 2013.
After a stint at a large corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the technology industry. He serves as a principal at the leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm Mithril Capital, cofounded by Peter Thiel and Ajay Royan. As an investor, Vance has taken a special interest in the biotechnology industry and other transformative sectors of the economy.
In early 2017, Vance joined as a partner in AOL founder Steve Case's venture capital company, Revolution LLC, which concentrates on bolstering entrepreneurship and disruptive, high-growth companies outside of the sphere of Silicon Valley. He also returned home to Ohio to found Our Ohio Renewal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the state's opioid crisis and bringing high-quality employment and educational opportunities to Ohioans.
He regularly discusses politics and public policy, having appeared on ABC, CBS, and FOX News, and currently serving as a contributor on CNN. Vance lives in Columbus, Ohio, with his wife, newborn son, and two dogs, where he works on his nonprofit and investment activities.

|[Hadoop Wiki] Update of "Release1.0Requirements" by DougCutting
|Thu, 02 Oct 2008 19:21:29 GMT
Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by DougCutting: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Release1%2e0Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Old 1.x clients can connect to new 1.y servers, where x <= y * Only bug fixes in 1.x.y releases and new features in 1.x.0 releases. * New !FileSystem clients must be able to call old methods when talking to old servers. This generally will be done by having old methods continue to use old rpc methods. However, it is legal to have new implementations of old methods call new rpcs methods, as long as the library transparently handles the fallback case for old servers. + + ''Owen, you seem to be extending the ["Roadmap"]'s compatibility requirements to RPC protocols, is that right? Clients must be back-compatible with older servers and servers must be back-compatible with older clients. If so, perhaps we should vote on this new policy and update ["Roadmap"] accordingly. We could even start enforcing it before 1.0, so that, e.g., 0.20's protocols would need to be back-compatible with 0.19's but 0.21's would not. --DougCutting'' Question: Does the release number really matter? Should we just keep adding features, improving back-compatibility, etc? Our ["Roadmap"] currently defines what a major release means. Does this need updating? -- !DougCutting
