Get your Wi-Fi network ready for Windows 8
Microsoft will launch Windows 8 in late October. Along with a slew of other features, it will be among the first to support the 802.11w standard to protect Management Frames for client devices on Wi-Fi networks.
Customers running old Cisco unified releases (between 4.2 to 7.2) in local, Flex or mesh mode will run into an interoperability bug (CSCua29504, to be exact) that prevents 802.11w enabled clients from connecting to a Cisco WLAN with Management Frame Protection (MFP) enabled. This bug does not affect customers running autonomous access point deployments or customers running Cisco unified releases older than 4.2.
What are the possible solutions for you?
1. Please upgrade your production environment to one of the following releases, which will interoperate with Windows 8.
- 220.127.116.11
- 126.96.36.199
- 220.127.116.11
2. Roll back to pre-windows 8 drivers as identified in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
3. Fall back to TKIP
4. Sign up for a beta release for Cisco's upcoming feature release 7.4 (beta available now!) that supports the 802.11w feature in local mode.
What is 802.11w ?
802.11w is an IEEE standard based on Cisco's Management Frame Protection(MFP), a feature that was first supported on autonomous access points in release 12.3(8)JA in 2006 and in the unified release 22.214.171.124 in 2008. 802.11w isn't a new standard. IEEE ratified the 802.11w standard in 2009, however the adoption has been slow to date, but that is expected to change with Windows 8.
The WFA has announced that it will position the Protected Management Frame interoperability certification program as a feature update to its Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA2) program.
Why do I care about 802.11w ?
I joined Cisco Wireless Networking Business Unit (WNBU) early 2006 as a Product Manager for Autonomous Access Points and the first software release that I managed was the 12.3(8)JA. One of the coolest features in that release was a Cisco innovation around protecting management frames. As many of you may know, 802.11 frames such as Authenticate, De-authenticate, Associate, Dis-associate are sent in the clear (a.k.a. in an unsecured manner). This could allow a potential attacker to spoof management frames from a valid device and run Denial of Service (DOS) attack by sending de-authenticate/disassociate frames.
When MFP is enabled, the sending device adds a cryptographic hash to create a message integrity check (MIC) and embeds that within the Information Element (IE) of every management frame. Thus when another device in the network receives the frame, it is able to verify that the authenticity of the source. In case a single invalid frame is received on the network, it will be dropped, as well as, an Intrusion Detection System alert will be received – this means zero day protection!
What about clients that don't support 802.11w ?
There are two components to Management Frame Protection:
– Infrastructure MFP: When the wireless Controller and Access point infrastructure support the 802.11w capability, any frames from a hacker masquerading as an infrastructure AP and attempting to communicate with other APs will be dropped.
– Client MFP: When a client ALSO supports this feature; it is able to secure communications with the infrastructure. This means any frames from a hacker masquerading as an infrastructure AP and sending disconnect messages to the clients will be dropped.
So what's the bottom-line?
To enable that your network is ready for 802.11w and Windows 8 ensure that you are running the latest Cisco Unified releases in your wireless controller network.

Hi Jeevan,
Thanks for the explanation. Very useful information to look out for. 🙂
Dr. Jose A. Wong - Perez
…Very informative, from my Cisco Networking Classes, this post enhances my presentations, thanks Mr. Jeevan for sharing it. Regards from PR.
So if we have Infrastructure MFP enabled, but client MFP is optional will we be affected by this?
Does this include lightweight APs running through a WLC?

Long-Term Unemployment Calls for Aggressive Policy Response
The problem of long-term U.S. unemployment may become increasingly entrenched if it is not soon addressed with policies directly targeting those without a job for six months of more, according to a new study by Princeton University economist Alan Krueger, former chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.
In the paper, published with Princeton colleagues Judd Cramer and David Cho, Mr. Krueger argues the long-term jobless have literally lost their connection to the job market and overall economic activity, and must be brought back into the fold or risk finding future employment even more difficult.
"Even in good times, the long-term unemployed are often on the margins of the labor market, with diminished employment prospects and relatively high labor force withdrawal rates," Mr. Krueger and his co-authors write in a paper released Thursday at a Brookings Institution conference.
The unemployment rate has been falling gradually in recent months, to 6.7% in February. But the long-term jobless outlook, which has been highlighted by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen as a key concern, hasn't improved very much.
The number of long-term unemployed increased by 203,000 in February to 3.8 million people, according to the latest Labor Department figures.
So what is to be done? Mr. Krueger isn't specific about which fiscal or monetary policies might be appropriate for the current environment. But he does offer the broad contours of a policy framework, and calling for fairly aggressive measures to address a job market that most economists recognize remains far from normal.
"The most important policy challenges involve designing effective interventions to prevent the long-term unemployed from receding into the margins of the labor market or withdrawing from the labor force altogether, and supporting those who have left the labor force to engage in productive activities," Messrs. Krueger, Cramer and Cho write.
Then, in a hint that they support a continued Fed policy of low interest rates, the authors conclude: "Overcoming the obstacles that prevent many of the long-term unemployed from finding gainful employment, even in good times, will likely require a concerted effort by policy makers, social organizations, communities and families, in addition to appropriate monetary policy."

Gemcap is a company that provides financing to mid-size businesses using the client's inventory as collateral. They emphasized that they were a company that valued creativity in financing, and that they did not want their web site to look like the one that a conservative financial company or a bank would use. Instead they wanted to appear playful and irreverent, while at the same communicating their core strengths.
I came up with a bunch of concepts for the visual style but also wrote all the slightly zen-like headlines for each screen in the opening slideshow. The idea was that they could finance just about anything, from raw produce, through machinery to oil paint. I used a great programming shop to put the Drupal-based web site together, and the client loved the final result. 2016 Branding, Graphic Design

Shine chanteuse — and Kanye West collaborator — Estelle helped Christian unveil the first item from the fifteen-piece line at her record release party at a Manhattan club last night. Siriano created her distinctive ruffle-neck dress by deconstructing three existing Puma tanks. What's more, he's dubbed the R&B artist a muse. He tells PEOPLE, "For me it's really exciting because it's great to work with an artist that wants to be more creative and more fashion forward. That's why I love her. I mean how fabulous is she?" We definitely think the dress is pretty fabulous and can't wait to see more. Tell us: What do you think of Christian's dress?

The city�s newest nightclub is a little different than most: It doesn�t sell any beer or liquor.
CRESTVIEW � The city�s newest nightclub is a little different than most: It doesn�t sell any beer or liquor.
Owner Charlotte Collins opened The Vue in the old Mrs. B�s Bar B Que restaurant building in early April and has been growing her business.
�There�s really nothing kind of like it in Crestview, and Crestview is growing,� Collins said. �We want to grow with it. I�m excited. I�m trying to cater to everybody in the community.
�It gives them a place to come in and socialize and to network, just kind of unwind and relax from the week,� she added.
The Vue, located at 1001 Industrial Drive, charges a $10 admission, but customers can bring beer, wine and liquor with them. The club offers ice, soft drinks, mixers and bottled water for sale.
The 3,000-square-foot building is divided in to three areas: the main area with a dance floor and stage, a large banquet room than can be used for overflow space and a third area that can be set up as a VIP section.
With that much space and the way the business is laid out, The Vue is being used as much more than just a nightclub.
�There are not enough event venues, so we also rent it out if somebody wants to have a private event,� Collins said. �Meetings. I had a girl doing exercise classes. I had a conference there. I�ve got a church that�s going to have a meeting there and a couple of birthday parties.
�It�s a really nice place. I�ve been working with the Chamber of Commerce and we�ve been getting a lot of inquiries about using the space,� she added. �We can do weddings, conferences, art shows. We�re versatile.�
The Vue is open from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 5 to 10 p.m. on Sundays.
Starting Aug. 4, Collins plans to offer an open mic night for people to sing, rap, read poetry and even do comedy routines. She also hopes to offer karaoke.
Collins also plans to expand the business beyond the weekends. She is working to open on Wednesday and Thursday nights, but details still are being finalized.
�We�re there to serve (everyone) and hopefully we�ll be there for quite awhile,� Collins said.
CHECK IT OUT: The Vue is at 1001 Industrial Drive in Crestview. It is open from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 5 to 10 p.m. Sundays.

Wimpy Catholics
I find the lack of contact between faithful Catholics and the culture, the political structures, the media etc.. absolutely inexusable. The one big glaring virtue to the American system is the ability to get on the horn, get on the ballot, get off your butt, and change the world for Christ.
I have spoken to newspaper editors who have admitted to me that they would like to go to bat on this or that topic- ex. taking the palestinian narrative more seriously- but they are pressured by who calls, how many call, and do they request a sit-down meeting. If a tiny minority of pro-Israeli American Jews can shape our Congress, our Presidency, our Media, so soundly with good old fashonied organizing- what is wrong with us?
I have found most Catholic parishes barely interested in shaping the political landscape of which the pastors and faithful moan and groan about all the time. Minorities have to stand up and be counted or they will be overlooked or oppressed- history shows this over and over. Catholics are so bound by the devil with the Pro-Life camps pitted against the Social Justice camps- it is a clear divide/conquer strategy and most Catholics I know are being played like fiddles- Catholic Left- Catholic Right- how about straight Catholic- Dorothy Day/Mother Teresa- One Church- liberal give the conservative his due, conservative give the liberal his- you both make some sense.
If Catholics had their act together, we wouldn't be the butt of so much unholy humor, we wouldn't be destroying Iraqis and creating enraged jihadists at every turn, we wouldn't be killing our offspring and cheering right to choose death for our kids, we wouldn't be fighting a losing cause in standing up to a divorce/gay oversexualized culture, we wouldn't be calling social programs 'the beast", we wouldn't be questioning the value of faith-based organizations, we wouldn't have a global economy built on the backs of Chinese slave laborers and poor, desperate workers trapped in corrupt/failed nations with border guards keeping everyone and everything just in place so that the elites can keep their station secured, Hollywood wouldn't be making Da Vinci Code movies anymore than they are likely to make a Protocols of Zion film...but alas, American Catholics are either too wimpy, or too caught up in the exciting idiocies of party politics, to be of much service to the world for Christ's poor and vulnerable.
The only reason we are so powerless in America is that we are so clueless as to what freedom we have here in America- we are like the cave-dweller in Plato's parable gazing at shadows, missing out on the direct sunlight so easily found.

Hollywood wouldn't be making Da Vinci Code movies anymore than they are likely to make a Protocols of Zion film.
This is going to go back to the "why do Catholics get such bad press" thread below.
I, as a non-Catholic, found the Catholic reaction to the DaVinci Code--primarily the book, since the movie flopped--to be such a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, exercise in "Kick me, I'm a Victim!" mentality, that I was very glad when the fad had run its course.
It was a novel. It was based on a medieval legend that is hundreds of years old. It has been used in fiction before. There are probably hundreds of novels, and thousands of non-fiction books that "debunk" Christ's divinity. Ditto for books that are critical of the RC Church, in one way or another.
Why, suddenly, now, does this book so threaten the Catholic mind-set?
It was presented as though it were true. Well, duh. How many lost-world type adventure stories did I read in earlier days which were presented as travel logs, found and published by some scholar? Many. There was absolutely nothing, I repeat nothing, that was really new in the DaVinci Code in terms of content, or format. The whole she-bang was as formulaic as can be.
Yet I heard Catholics saying that people they knew had lost their faith over it. My response to that is--what faith, then, had they to lose?
As long as the Catholic intellect tends to keep itself inside a bubble--Catholic intellectualism being limited to pondering only things Catholic--how can it defend itself against a trivial amusement like The DaVinci Code?
You deploy some clown like Michael Novak to hit all the cable talk shows, sputtering and bouncing up and down in his chair, and practically having a stroke on camera over a NY Times best-seller, and then you wonder why you get bad press. This is part of the reason.
- April 10, 2008 at 11:12 AM
I agree that the reaction to the Da Vinci Code was over the top, (although most of that came from Protestants rather than Catholics--like your comments yesterday, this is the pot calling the kettle black) but don't lose the forest for the trees, my friend.
BTW, would this comment be in the genre of a "non-combative, non-confrontational, mode of discussion [that] express[es] disagreement without making brother-love problematic." or more along the lines of coming from "a person who doesn't really read the blog, but just skims it looking for buzz words, and when one is found then lets his 'inner [Phil Donahue]' free-associate on it."?

There is no doubt that Maureen is miles ahead of me when it comes to being non-confronttional. That's why I took the time to praise her. I also acknowledge that I was off-topic on this thread. But your mentioning DaVinci, worked so well with my attitude toward the post below that I couldn't let it slide.
As for Protestants and DaVinci, my only memories of the controversy involved much howling on Catholic blogs, and a whole Catholic media blitz on cable TV. There hadn't been so many priests on news shows since the Pope died. There were probably Protestant fundies on that warpath, too. But I tend to turn them off, figuratively, if not literally.
The important question is: in how much of a closed system does an orthodox Catholic live his intellectual life? And how can he translate what he contemplates therein out in the world-at-large? I don't say that he's wrong to stay inside the bubble. But I do say that it makes his forays into politics as an orthodox Catholic counter-productive.

It's all wrapped up with my aversion to public orthodoxy.

Okay, I'm at a loss. You said that Catholics live in a bubble. How is that a public orthodoxy?
- April 11, 2008 at 8:53 AM
- Rodak said...
As long as they stay inside the bubble, it's not a public orthodoxy; it's a private (though communal inside the bubble) one. That's the whole point.

Read Kyle's explanation in his new post on why people (mistakenly) call Derrida a "relativist." He's making much the same point: when people bring their inside-the-bubble mindsets outside of the bubble they tend to misjudge the nature of the ideas they encounter "out there."
- April 11, 2008 at 10:52 AM
- Rodak said...
Here is the relevant paragraph of Kyle's post:
"So why is Derrida so often placed in the camp of relativists? I suspect that many of those who accuse Derrida of relativism interpret his philosophy within the particular hermeneutics of a metaphysical realism or moral absolutism. They juxtapose Derrida's thought with their own philosophical or moral systems of thought—specifically with their own favored philosophical language—and judge the words of Derrida in so far as they match or mesh with their own linguistic concepts. Instead of being read on his own terms, Derrida is translated into the accepted terms of these critics, and much is lost in translation. Derrida clearly was not a realist, so he must have been the alternative in the binary opposition: a relativist."

What do you see in Tim's comment that you belive relates to "public orthodoxy"?
BTW, could you indulge me with a concise definition of what you mean by "public orthodoxy"?
- April 11, 2008 at 11:12 AM
- Rodak said...
What Kyle is saying is that when one goes public with his private orthodoxy ("[his] own philosophical or moral systems of thought—specifically with [his] own favored philosophical language"), what happens is that it doesn't mesh with other people's modes of thought.
Now, imagine that, somehow, the WWWtW group, or the Seventh Day Adventists, or the Sunni Muslims--whoever--managed to make adherence to their orthodoxy a must for all public moral/philosophical discourse. As Kyle shows, that "public orthodoxy" would clash with, and would be virtually unintelligible to, the moral/philosophical systems of nearly everybody else. It could therefore be implemented as a "public orthodoxy" only by coercion, such things as book burning, and the institution of some kind of "Thought Police."
To be free, and before they can be "judged" and labeled, people must be able to be understood on their own terms.

I'm not trying to pick on you with my questions, but I still don't see where this post has anything to do with public or even private orthodoxy?
Catholics as good citizens ought to take part in public life. If they don't like the way they or thier beliefs are protrayed they ought to get off their butts. What's your beef with that? Or do you have a beef? It would seem that you would agree with this comment.
BTW, you still haven't told me what a public orthodoxy is.
So you buy into all of that deconstruction stuff?
- April 11, 2008 at 1:23 PM
- Rodak said...
BTW, you still haven't told me what a public orthodoxy is.
Public orthodoxy as I understand it (it isn't my term, after all) would be any person's, or any group's orthodoxy, made the societal standard by fiat.
I don't know anything about deconstructionism.
Catholics should not even attempt to bring their specifically Catholic belief into the political arena, for the reason that when they do they bring their faith life down to the level of their political life. It does not, and cannot, work the other way around.
As St. Paul said, Christians must not conform themselves to "the world."
- April 11, 2008 at 4:57 PM
So just let the word go by? Have no influence on culture? Never defend your beliefs or your reputation? Make no effort to be treated fairly? Just huddle in communes?
And then how does this square with your allegation that Catholics live in a bubble?
- April 11, 2008 at 5:14 PM
- Rodak said...
What I'm saying is that Catholics qua Catholics should stay "in the bubble." As citizens, they should vote as citizens, not as Catholics per se. E.g.--not vote for a war monger because he says he's pro-life.
You defend your beliefs by living your beliefs, not by trying to force them on your neighbors.
- April 11, 2008 at 5:57 PM
- Rodak said...
I think that the unique promblem that Catholics have is that the Church was, at one time, a secular power. Therefore, it had to do all of the kinds of things that governments do, and try to justify them morally.
Jesus and St. Paul were each very clear on this: "My kingdom is not of this world"--Jesus. "Do not conform yourself to the world."--St. Paul. The message: Be in the world without being of the world.
This problem is not unique to Catholics, of course. But the only true solution to it would be a theocracy--i.e., a public orthodoxy.
- April 11, 2008 at 6:06 PM
Who said anything about forcing our beliefs on others?
Why are you talking about ancient history? Popish plots are so 16th century.
I think you're tilting at windmills.
- April 11, 2008 at 8:58 PM
- Rodak said...
I think you're tilting at windmills.
Not at all. If orthodox Catholics (and their conservative Prostestant allies) had their way, for instance, all publicly supported family planning clinics would be shut down. And this would be done based on doctrinal beliefs.
The result would be more illegal abortions, more unwanted children going to more under-regulated foster homes, less testing for, and therefore more spread of, STDs of all kinds, etc.
What I am saying is that if you're against abortion, don't get one. If you're against birth control, don't use it. If you want to spread your STD, don't touch my daughter. But, above all, don't force me to live my life according to your sectarian beliefs. Tilting at windmills? I don't think so. What I'm doing is opposing the mechanics of a very real special interest group, on the basis of the U.S. Constitution.
- April 12, 2008 at 10:01 AM
- Rodak said...
It must be realized that I used family planning/abortion in the above comment simply as an obvious example of what I'm talking about. When you get down to the "public orthodoxy" that WWWtW is talking about, and their desire to burn books; or their desire expressed in a new post to eliminate all post-modernists from university English departments (if only they could), patterns should begin to form.
You seem to be promoting Russell Kirk, so I guess that you are basically in agreement with the WWWtW agenda, since he is certainly their primary contemporary guru.
Here is the first of his "Six Canons of Conservative Thought":
Belief in a transcendent order, or body of natural law, which rules society as well as conscience. Political problems, at bottom, are religious and moral problems. A narrow rationality, what Coleridge calle the Understanding, cannot of itself satisfy human needs. "Every Tory is a realist," says Keith Feiling: "he know that there are great forces in heaven and earth that man's philosophy cannot plumb or fathom." True politics is the art of apprehending and applying the Justice which ought to prevail in a community of souls.
That might be all well and good; but to the extent that it would "rule society" in a formal way, it would scrap the U.S. Constitution, and it would be coercive of those people who don't believe in a "transcendent order" or a "body of natural law."

You're still tilting at windmills and ranting about WWWtW? This is not WWWtW, and your rants are not relevant to this post. Why don't adress the post or the questions I've asked you rather than "free associating." I mean, don't mind chatting about what you are in to, but you ought to try to talk about the topic of a person's post now and then--try including other people's interests and not just your own. I'm beginning to wonder if it is you that has ADD-if not Tourette's.
Oh well.
Hey is that "canon" from Russell Kirk? I thought he said that conservatism is the negation of ideology.

You are the one who asked me above to explain why I mean by "public orthodoxy."
Since that term comes from WWWtW, how am I to answer your question without reference to the source of the term in question?
Everything that I've said is directly relevant to whether or not Catholics should be involved in politicas as Catholics, and therefore relevant to the topic of your post.

Please explain.

Following up on what Rodak said about Catholics staying in the bubble (Safari won't let me cut and paste and I don't have the time to retype the whole thing): One's faith should be part of oneself, no matter what that faith is. I would not trust a person who can easily compartmentalize his faith, even if I disagree with the doctrines of that faith. A good Catholic ought to be one whose faith informs all of his decisions, including voting for that warmonger if absolutely necessary if s/he will fix another, more evil problem. Not all evil is created equal. Just as murder is a worse offense than theft, abortion is a worse evil than war.

"You are the one who asked me above to explain why I mean by 'public orthodoxy.'

What I'm saying is that, after hearing your explanation, I think you are tilting at windmills.
We'll have to agree to disagree that people should keep thier faith private. I agree with you so far as that I don't care for people who wear their religion on thier sleeves--I say show don't tell. But a faith that does not permeate everying thing you do is not "faith" IMHO--I'm not sure what it is.
Thanks for stopping by and weighing in. I agree with you. What good is "faith" if it does not impact your whole life. I think I'm going to do a post on that--or give an idea to Maureen.
- April 13, 2008 at 9:02 AM
- Rodak said...
I say show don't tell.
Which is what I'm saying: if you oppose abortion, don't have one. Provide assistance to those who might be tempted to have one. If you oppose a book, write your own book and refute its ideas. But don't oppose that book whose ideas you find to be wrong from being on the library, or the bookstore, shelf.
- April 13, 2008 at 10:48 AM
- Rodak said...
What good is "faith" if it does not impact your whole life.
Again, I agree with this. But, in America, you should not insist that YOUR faith must impact MY life.
Amy's statement, for intance, that "abortion is a worse evil than war" is just nonsense to millions and millions of Americans. Even though it should guide Amy's personal decisions,it should not, under current Constitutional law, become public policy.
- April 13, 2008 at 11:12 AM
- Amy Giglio said...
If my faith is shared by millions of other Americans and we all vote based on our faith because it informs everything we do, then it can't help but impact the lives of other people. It's part of the democratic process, not an imposition. If some group disagrees there's always another election.
- April 13, 2008 at 7:37 PM
- Rodak said...
True. But what millions of pro-life voters who chose Bush only because he claimed to be anti-abortion got was a war that many of them probably didn't want then, and certainly don't want now. We had abortion. Now we have abortion, plus war. A net loss for life, no matter how you slice it.
- April 13, 2008 at 8:13 PM
Amy is right when she says that according to Catholic teaching, abortion trumps war. However, our Pope has been very vocal about his disapproval of this war, and that nothing good can come out of Iraq.
On another note, if more Catholics had voted for Ron Paul, we would have a candidate who is prolife and against the war. But oh well.

I deleted the above comment because my choice of words was at least as bad as that of Barack Obama in 'Frisco.
To rephrase, the fact that for Catholics abortion trumps war is not one of your most endearing traits to many of the rest of us.
- April 14, 2008 at 6:50 AM
"Which is what I'm saying: if you oppose abortion, don't have one. Provide assistance to those who might be tempted to have one......"
Why that's exactly waht we do. What's your beef?
"....If you oppose a book, write your own book and refute its ideas."
Good grief! You began this thread by complainign about people doing just that. Is there any integrity whatsoever in your personal philosophy?
Oh, BTW. You asked about conservatism being the negation of ideaology. Kirk said that in his lecture "Ten conservative books", so I'm curious if the canon you cited was from him.
- April 14, 2008 at 11:34 AM

My beef involves any sectarian group lobbying to makes its unique beliefs applicable to the whole society.
Good grief! You began this thread by complainign about people doing just that.
Excuse me? Where did I do that?
I'm curious if the canon you cited was from him.
I don't know why you're curious, I pretty clearly stated that it was from Kirk, and also named the text from which it came.
- April 14, 2008 at 11:48 AM
- Rodak said...
If a Catholic writes a book expounding Catholic doctrine, and publishes that book, all of that takes place inside the bubble.
I won't be exposed to the ideas in that book unless I go into the bubble after them. Nobody is going to force me to read that book.
It's when sectarian ideas are forced upon those outside the bubble, that the barriers of individual freedom are breached and coercion begins.
- April 14, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Great, so why do you complain about such books in your first comment? You seem to have conflicting expectations for us Catholics.
So was that "cannon" from Kirk?

Do you ever actually read what I write?:
I don't know why you're curious, I pretty clearly stated that it was from Kirk, and also named the text from which it came.
You seem to be promoting Russell Kirk, so I guess that you are basically in agreement with the WWWtW agenda, since he is certainly their primary contemporary guru.
Here is the first of his "Six Canons of Conservative Thought":

Rodak, isn't one of the things that makes our country so great is that we can have an exchange of ideas. All Catholics, or anyone else really, wants is a fuitful exchange of ideas. Of course an orthodox Catholic is going to be convinced his point is right-that point comes from God's mouth, not his-but an orthodox Jew, Lutheran, or atheist would be just as convinced (well, the atheist wouldn't think his point cam from God's mouth. You know what I mean.). So, is everyone supposed to sit in their ghettos and keep their thoughts to themselves? Isn't that another form of thought policing?
And an orthodox Christian of any stripe wouldn't stay in that ghetto/bubble anyway. Christians are called the preach the Gospel to the world. Using words when necessary.
This is fun!
- April 14, 2008 at 5:05 PM
"Isn't that another form of thought policing?"
I've been saying this to Rodak for a while, but somehow he doesn't see it. Maybe he'll listen to you.
- April 14, 2008 at 5:09 PM
RE your April 14, 2008 4:18 PM comment: boy, somebody's got a short fuse. chill out dude! I was asking a simple question and wanting to verify that he used the word "cannon" and that was a quote. There were no quotation marks and I didn't know if that was your interpretation. I think maybe you need to go take a nap or something. ROFL.
Why are you so nasty? This is not the first time I get the impression you don't really enjoy blogging. Have a little fun, man. We can disagree and still be civil.
- April 14, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Hey Rodak,
I don't mean this to sound like I am picking on you, because Civis likes you debating with him on the blog and I would welcome you to my blog, too, but if Orthodox Catholicism bothers you, why do you visit orthodox Catholic blogs? It seems like it would be painful for you. Just wondering.
God bless, Maureen

Absolutely, and so Christians should. What Christians shouldn't do (or so I'm arguing) is try to get the doctrine with which they evangelicize the irreligious turned into statute law. Therefore: if Catholics want to be political with regard to abortion rights, what Catholics should do is work--as citizens--towards a Constitutional amendment which would declare the unborn legally "persons"--not doctrinally, but legally.
Once the unborn have constitutional rights, no atheist can claim the right to have a legal abortion. And this will have been accomplished without violating the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.

What I am is impatient. I don't like having to answer the same question twice, when it never needed to be asked even once, since the answer was provided from the git-go. Life is too short to spend time spinning one's wheels.

SilverStone Olympia OP650 650W: With time we have seen computers go from a single GPU and processor to dual and quad core CPUs with a number of different options for multi-GPU systems. As we have shoved more and more into our systems, the power supplies have gone from a single +12V rail to multiple +12V rails. Dual +12V rails has been very common in recent years, while recently at Phoronix we had looked at a few quad +12V rail power supplies such as the SilverStone Zeus 750W and the OCZ GameXStream 700W. However, the more +12V rails does not necessarily make a better power supply. What we are looking at today is one of SilverStone's newest power supplies, which was recently on display at the Consumer Electronics Show. The SilverStone Olympia OP650 is a 650W power supply that supports both the current 6-pin PCI Express power connector as well as the new 8-pin version, and supports 54 Amps on its single +12V rail.

ROCHESTER — At Frisbie Memorial Hospital Tuesday morning, Stacey Knox tried to keep her contractions a secret.
Her sister, Trisha Knox, was about to have a baby in the room next door, and Stacey wanted to be there with her.
As it turned out, the timing of labor is hard to control, and the sisters, who were due to have their babies two weeks apart, gave birth at the same hospital on the same morning.
Trisha, 19, gave birth to Joseph Anthony Sirois at 9:06 a.m. Tuesday, and her sister Stacey, 24, gave birth to Nicholas Brent Masse Jr. at 11:22 a.m. that same day.
"This is the best experience ever," said Stacey, who lives in Rochester.
Trisha, of Barrington, said she wasn't due to have her baby until Sunday, March 31, but on Monday, she went to the hospital to have induced labor. As it turned out, she was already dilated enough and did not need to be induced.
Stacey, who was due to give birth on April 12, came with Trisha to the hospital Monday evening and stayed there through the night. At 6 a.m. Tuesday she woke up and was excited upon hearing her sister was eight centimeters dilated and would soon be giving birth.
Soon after, Stacey herself began feeling pains and contractions. She said she had wanted to wait to go into labor until Trisha gave birth to her new nephew, but a relative informed a nurse Stacey herself might be ready to give birth.
At the Frisbie Memorial Hospital maternity ward, the two sisters were in rooms next to each other. The area was filled with family members going from room to room, checking on Trisha and Stacey.
At some point, Stacey heard a baby cry next door — Trisha's son was born, at 6 pounds 14 ounces.
Two hours and 16 minutes later, Stacey gave birth to her 5-pound, 5-ounce baby.
During their stay at the hospital on Wednesday, the newborns — Nicholas, son of Nicholas Brent Masse Sr., and Joseph, son of Jacob Sirois — were gently being held by their family members, while being wrapped up in blankets.
Kurt Colwell, second cousin to Stacey and Trisha, said the two sisters have always been very close, "every since they were little girls."
Stacey said she has had guardianship of her sister since Trisha was 14 years old, and that Trisha also helped raise Stacey's daughter Olivia, now 5.
Trisha, a new mom, said, "It is still all new to me."
Stacey said that Jacob and Nicholas will likely have joint birthday parties.

May 18, 2004-Lost In Manila
When we finally left the restaurant in Manila's Malati district it was after midnight. We had enjoyed a long slow meal and plenty of after dinner wine and friendly conversation with the restaurant owner.
What a surprise we got when we went outside. The street was packed! People strolling everywhere, tables on the sidewalk and even onto the street itself, music, dancing; what a scene.
Was it a street fair? A festival? No, it turned out to be just another Saturday night in Malati, where the young hip hang out to party and be seen. And it is just one of Manila's many faces.
We've been in Manila, the city of 12 million on the Philippine island of Luzon, for two weeks now, and we can tell you that Manila has many, many different faces. We've seen miles of glass and steel high-rise office towers and miles of shanty towns. We've seen the rejuvenated Malati district, Rizal park, 16th century Spanish forts and churches, and museums, freeways, elevated light rail lines, and traffic jams that won't quit. We've shopped in at least a dozen shopping malls, some that just that astonish us, …in fact, we've seen just about everything you can imagine, and we're having a great time. So, if you think we sort of dropped out of sight, well, it's because we've been busy playing.
We came here to see the city and to do a bottom job on WINGS. One of the best things is that instead of getting dirty and sweaty sanding and panting the bottom, we are having a ball touring and shopping while the professional boat workers down at the Manila Yacht Club give WINGS a new bottom, and at a very good price.
We're staying in a hotel. Frankly, the harbor is so polluted that the water literally stinks; it is the worst pollution we've ever seen, bar none. No way would we stay on board. Plus, it is hot and humid in Manila; the air-conditioned hotel is very nice.
Carol Pearl is here with us, also having a great time. But we are getting ready to leave now. The bottom job is done, we've provisioned the boat, and we are just waiting for the latest typhoon to pass by.
As soon as the weather settles down we're leaving Manila and heading up the coast of Luzon before sailing to Hong Kong.
We'll write again before we leave The Philippines

On Tuesday, Cameron Maybin, the speedy outfielder traded from the Marlins to the Padres this offseason, tweeted this (@CamMaybin; it's since been scrubbed):
Never eat panda express shits had me feeling awful for 2 days back on my grind tomorrow,, We got action...
And Cameron Maybin is, like, an eight-tool player. So it takes some seriously bad Kung Pao to take him off his grind. Though his grind is a .692 OPS in parts of four seasons.
Unfortunately for Maybin, Tom Davin, the CEO of Panda Express, owns a minority stake in the Padres. It's worth noting, though, that Davin was an executive at Taco Bell before taking the Panda Express job. And McDonald's founders Joan and Ray Kroc used to own the Padres. Plenty of sacred not-quite-cows to go around.
Cameron Maybin warns against eating Panda Express. Padres Owner and Panda CEO Tom Davin would probably disagree. [Gaslamp Ball]
Cameron Maybin may be in trouble with the Padres [Hardball Talk]

Ted Thompson (born January 17, 1953, in Atlanta, Texas) is the current general manager of the NFL's Green Bay Packers. Thompson was named to the post on January 14, 2005, by Packers president and CEO Bob Harlan. Thompson took over the general manager duties from Mike Sherman, who had been serving as both head coach and general manager. Prior to becoming the Packers' general manager, Thompson served with the Seattle Seahawks as their vice president of operations from 2000 to 2004. Thompson had previously worked for the Packers organization from 1992 to 1999, serving as their assistant director of pro personnel in 1992, their director of pro personnel from 1993 to 1997, and their director of player personnel from 1997 to 1999. Thompson also had a 10-year playing career in the NFL as a linebacker and special teams player with the Houston Oilers from 1975 to 1984.
Ted Thompson was signed by the Houston Oilers as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Methodist University in 1975. Thompson won a spot as a back-up linebacker and special teams player and held this position for 10 years. Although Thompson only started eight games during his career, he proved durable playing in 146 of 147 games.
Thompson worked in Seattle as Vice President of Football Operations; also heading Seattle's scouting department and running the draft boards. He worked alongside former Packers and Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren; who was Seattle's GM at the time.

So, I just finished reading your comic... interesting
I like the fact that you've been able to keep the thing running, converting it more or less from a one-shot gag-strip to what now more or less reminds me of a plot-driven comic.
please advance the plot... the last third of the archive actually made this thing interesting to read! Its now that you have to give the people what they want!
but good job on the comic anyway - you've improved yourself greatly from begining to your current level (me not so much, but my comic's only been on comicgen for a year, but there's still improvement to be found), not character-art wise as you've actually managed to keep a fairly steady style going throughout the comic, but have instead apparently just refined the way you draw - going from what looks like pencil-scans to inked comics. I've tried inked comics... well, black and white ones, and while quicker I still prefer color - but thats cuzz I just like my stuff better that way.
keep up the good work - or I'll have Goliath plug your nickel... (go read my webcomic for that there to make sense...)

One of the most popular questions I get from buyers looking to make a move to the Manalapan/Marlboro area is "how are the schools?" I have two children who are currently enrolled in the Manalapan Elementary and Monmouth County Vocational school systems. To date, the school districts I've experienced have not let me down and in fact, have far exceeded my expectations.
When my daughter was graduating middle school, I couldn't believe the variety of choices she had for where to go to high school. There truly is "something for everyone." Admission to some programs is based on academic testing/grades and others could be based on a written essay, interview or even an audition! Some programs have pre-requisite courses that need to be taken in middle school. Parents should familiarize yourself with these programs when their children are in 7th grade so you can make the best choices when considering their classes for 8th grade.
Alternatively, children can go to the schools they are zoned for based on their mailing address. Keep in mind, the town you live in is not necessarily the high school for which you are zoned!! There are parts of Manalapan Township where the children go to Freehold Township High School and parts of Marlboro and Freehold Township where the kids will go to Colts Neck High School!

Blue Planet Solutions
Blue Planet Solutions is the international arm of Ocean Therapy Solutions.
Sadly, our company was born out of tragedy.
Millions of gallons of oil already threatened the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard when New Orleans businessman John Houghtaling met actor and environmentalist Kevin Costner and his longtime friend and business partner, Patrick Smith. Houghtaling was looking for a solution and Costner had spent the past 15 years investing in a centrifuge technology that would make it possible for the petroleum industry to operate safely, without threatening the environment with oil spills. Having already been proven a successful tool for oil recovery on smaller scale oil clean-up operations, the marriage between this environmental technology and the drive and perseverance found in Kevin, John and Patrick marked a crucial turning point in finding a solution to this cataclysmic event.
The time to talk became the time to act.
From its inception, Ocean Therapy Solutions' technology has been designed as a first line of defense for oil spills. Our devices are able to collect crude oil as soon as a spill occurs, helping to avoid the devastating and irreversible environmental damage that sadly has become all too common in recent years.
Ocean Therapy Solutions: Providing Global Solutions for Oil Recovery
This will become a large international company that will is involved with designing and developing state of the art oil spill mitigation products and practices. We are involved with cleaning the world's waterways through our state of the art centrifuge and membrane technology systems.
We just finished running a contest for our logo and did not find one that we were happy with. We need a logo with a sense of style that also incorporates the idea of a "bluer planet for a greener earth"....
We need this logo ASAP.

Jersey Dogs.
Sure. Coney Island has Nathan's and the hoopla surrounding its annual hot dog eating contest, but here, on the other side of the Hudson River in New Jersey, we take hot dogs very seriously. Here is a review, which is not even close to being exhaustive, of some of the more memorable hot dog places in the state. Of those listed, Rutt's Hut gets my vote. Order up a couple "rippers," although I recommend having the chili as an appetizer rather than putting it on the hot dogs. In my view, all they need is some of Rutt's special mustard.
Special mention must be made of Italian hot dogs, which I believe are unique to Northeast Jersey, and they are simply out of this world. Here is how they are made. I strongly recommend the "double." I never met anyone who did not like an Italian hot dog.

Will I get the full amount the second year?

We will confess to being regular users of StubHub. (They are not a sponsor, honest.) It's a little expensive, but it's almost always worth it; it certainly impressed our parents when they came to visit. During past trips to Shea Stadium, our seats were somewhere in Staten Island.
They're pretty reliable, too ... unless, of course, a steam pipe explodes in New York City. In which case, according to a reader, you're screwed.
I'm sure that you are aware of the massive hole in the ground on 41st st. But i wasn't sure if you realized how this affects the casual sports fan. I got a call from stubhub this morning telling me that the tickets I had purchased for todays Yankee game were stuck in their office on 41st and Lexington, and were there to stay. They told me they refunded over 200 tickets for the game. Never thought that a steam pipe explosion could affect so many sports fans.
We're just glad this didn't happen this day. Kordell would still be crying.

Show/Tell/Share: This fantastic graffiti artwork by Nico is super close to where we'll be opening The Social Outfit very soon. It's lovely to walk past this owl everyday; to admire the colours; and then get stuck into my work of opening our doors to the public in June.
And, here I was thinking things in my life were already very busy with a full site fit-out, hiring staff, and kitting-out a retail shop …
When this happened:
That's right, the Hawaiian First Officer successfully broke a foot bone in brilliant style, which means about 6 weeks of crutches… and did I mention we have *lots* of stairs around where we live?!! This experience is clearly going to be an unintended *gift* to teach us about being patient, and taking things one step at a time!
Now, outfit photos…
This was a few weeks ago when I attended Oxfam/3things 'Cheap & Dirty' breakfast where people were discussing ethical fashion in Australia. Naturally, I represented us wearing 'The Social Outfit loves Nina Maya' scarf and leggings…
Tell: Glasses from Japan, Tatty Devine earrings, 'The Social Outfit loves Nina Maya' scarf and leggings from Colour Chameleon, vintage handmade dress from op shop, Fluevog boots, Unit Portables bag from Japan.
Then here's me at a weekend, about to catch up with friends… (wearing an-almost graffiti hat or is that a bowl on my head…)
Tell: Glasses from Japan, Tatty Devine earrings, Esprit skivvy from op shop, Esprit 1980s shirt from secondhand store in Newtown, skirt from op shop, Black Milk leggings, Fluevog boots, Unit Portables bag from Japan.
And because we're really in the building stage of The Social Outfit's Newtown space, I like to wear jewellery that metaphorically represents where we're at… (And Tatty Devine, of course!) …
The School for Social Entrepreneurs asked if I'd come and talk to current students about trying to set up a social enterprise in Sydney; especially sharing candidly how I think about 'leading' this work personally. I decided for the talk to break out a sample we'd been playing with at the store: a pink fluffy draped jacket. Fluro+Pink+FluffyFabric+Love = Leadership! It was great speaking to the group, and my main message was how grateful I have been to partner with, and collaborate with so many *talented* people to get us to this stage.
I can't wait to show you just what we've been making behind our closed doors in terms of clothes. And it will happen relatively soon: Promise! (This jacket won't make it into production we don't think… but that's just because we got even better, and *funner* pieces to make!)
Tell: Glasses from Japan, handmade earrings gifted from Iain, handmade beaded necklaces, Tatty Devine necklace and brooch, The Social Outfit sample pink fluffy jacket, The Social Studio top, The Social Studio silk dress gifted by Jo, Fluevog boots.
Here's a few more images of my outfit at the front of Nico's Owl Graffiti Spot in Newtown. I found this vintage dress in a Rockdale op shop quite recently. I think it's so *vintage 1970s pretty*… And my Tatty Devine pegasus necklace is the same as the feathers on the owl… (again matching jewellery to my surrounds…)
Tell: Glasses from op shop, Tatty Devine necklace, Uniqlo skivvy from Japan, vintage handmade dress from op shop in Rockdale, vintage leather belt from secondhand store, Fluevog boots.
About a week ago I hot-footed it down to Melbourne to say hello to the *fabulous* The Social Studio gang, and to take part in an evaluation project looking into effective interventions with young people, education and training (run by the likes of Dusseldorp Forum, Foundation for Young Australians (FYA), Social Ventures Australia and the University of Melbourne).
My niece grabbed this photo of me wearing my vintage Jenny Kee wool patchwork jacket I found on eBay, and a The Social Studio 'no waste' dress… I *heart* this style of dress SO MUCH!
Tell: Glasses from Japan, earrings gifted op shop, handmade beaded necklaces, Jenny Kee vintage wool jacket, The Social Studio 'no waste' dress, Saba sample belt, Black Milk leggings, Fluevog boots.
And for a momentary-fashion-outfit-break, check out just *some* of the wonderful people helping me turn The Social Outfit from 'idea' to 'REALITY'. From the left is volunteer Althea Mackenzie, who's helping on all things HR, volunteers and operations; then Traci Thomas who is volunteering to source fabric donations and help research aspects of our fashion production work; and then there's Emma-Kate Wallace, who is in charge of our all manufacturing and retail work (plus she also runs WEFTshop too). These three are ACE x 1 million!
Look at this delivery from Traci of donated fabric. Thanks so much to Traci and our fabric donation lables! If this fabric wasn't being used by us, it was about to go into landfill…
Aaaaaand, back to outfits… Check out this The Social Studio dress in vintage fabric…
Tell: Glasses from op shop, Uniqlo skivvy, Tatty Devine necklaces, The Social Studio dress from vintage fabric, Spin Dance Australia petticoat, Trippen shoes from Berlin.
And the last outfit here. Given I'm writing this at night, it seem appropriate to finish with my Tatty Devine moon, as I finish up another day…
Tell: Glasses from op shop, Tatty Devine earrings and necklace, Esprit skivvy from op shop, 'Made by Surf Knit Sydney' vintage dress from op shop, Happy Socks tights, Fluevog boots.
So there you go. Hope you're all doing *super* and look forward to showing you more news from The Social Outfit – with a *good* deal of my own outfits – all thrown in, soon!
