We live in the highlands in Panajachel, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala and it's wonderful place. Peaceful and harmonious and everyone gets along. Here the men take turns patrolling the streets at night along with the police, and we have no crime. They are not "vigilantes." They are law abiding members of the community, family men, members of the churches and the city council. This is what is meant by "working together" and "community," things that are sorely lacking in our culture.
We idolize our criminals in our U.S. history, from criminal CEO's, Presidents or those robbers and killers from "The Wild West". Look at Billy the Kid whose legend says he killed 22 people before he was 21 years old. And Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid… What else were they but "gang members?" Read on…
Although no one uses gas cans or "lights matches" here in Panajachel, I like the idea of gangs hearing about this "technique." This my favorite quote out of the whole story below:

Crime, Corruption Killing Guatemalan Bus Drivers
From NPR by Jason Beaubien
June 4, 2009
In Guatemala, bus drivers are being gunned down at an alarming rate. The hazardous situation on Guatemala's buses is a result of a confluence of corruption, crime and poverty. The Guatemalan government pays millions of dollars a year in subsidies to bus owners, yet the battered vehicles on the streets are mostly old school buses from the United States.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Another story we're following today involves a conflict in Guatemala. In that country, driving a bus can be lethal. Corruption, crime and poverty have led to deadly competition among rival bus owners and have also fueled an extortion racket. Armed gangs demand bribes from the drivers. Drivers who don't pay up often pay with their lives. More than 70 drivers have been killed already this year in Guatemala and the problem is especially bad in the capital, Guatemala City. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports.
(Soundbite of horn honking)
JASON BEAUBIEN: In Zona Quatro on the northwest edge of Guatemala City, Percida Iguara(ph) is waiting for the Number 70 bus, one day after a driver on the line was assassinated behind the wheel. Iguara is terrified of the public buses, but she doesn't have a car and she says this is the only way to get around.
Ms. PERCIDA IGUARA: (Spanish spoken)
BEAUBIEN: We have to ride the buses, but it makes you nervous, she says. You don't know if you're going to return or if you're not going to return. The only thing you can do is put yourself in the hands of God.
The day before, three men in a Toyota Corolla pulled up alongside the Number 70 bus and shot the driver repeatedly in the head. On the same day, another driver on the Number 70 line was assaulted and a 25-year-old driver on a different line was also killed.
Iguara says the situation on Guatemala's buses is out of control.
Ms. IGUARA: (Spanish spoken)
BEAUBIEN: If they shoot the driver, just imagine, you don't know what's going to happen, she says. And if you get robbed, that's another story. If you don't have anything to give them, that's bad. She says the robbers might even get nervous and shoot you.
Police say that so far this year more than 70 bus drivers have been murdered behind the wheel in Guatemala, this in a country of less than 14 million people.
Guatemala is a graveyard for old American school buses; aging Blue Birds painted blood red rattle over Guatemala's roads. The long, boxy vehicles cough out clouds of thick, black diesel exhaust. Despite being the primary form of public transportation, Guatemala's bus system is a chaotic, fiercely competitive enterprise.
Drivers rent the vehicles by the day and they get to keep whatever proceeds are left after paying for fuel, protection and a meager salary for a fare collector. The faster you go, the more money you make. And why stick to your route if you can veer off and poach your rival's passengers? Or you could literally just kill your competition.
Mr. ADAIR GUARA(ph) (Union Leader): (Spanish spoken)
BEAUBIEN: This is a really ugly mafia, says Adair Guara, the head of a local bus riders union. It's said that some of the bus owners are so viscous that they'll kill their rivals or anyone who discovers their illicit businesses. The owners of the buses get millions of dollars each year from the government to provide public transportation. But Guara says there's no oversight to make sure the subsidized buses are safe or charging the standard rate or even operating on their assigned route.
In addition, local gangs extort protection money or la renta from drivers who pass through their territory. Twenty-four-year-old Luis Enrique Shava(ph), who has been working as a bus assistant for six years, says drivers are scrounging just to make enough to eat. But he says drivers can't get away without paying la renta to the local street gangs.
Mr. ENRIQUE SHAVA (Bus Assistant): (Spanish spoken)
BEAUBIEN: If they don't pay the protection money, he says, they can't work. And it's those drivers who suffer, because if they don't pay the gangs will them.
The municipal government in Guatemala says it is trying to change the system. The city's replacing some of the old school buses with clean, new articulated ones. The new vehicles have dedicated lanes on fixed routes, but most importantly, passengers pay at a kiosk before they get on. The drivers carry no cash, and thus they don't have to worry about getting robbed, extorted or shot.

December 23, 2008
In Guatemala, anger over rampant crime and distrust of the police has led to widespread vigilantism. Though the practice is alarming to human-rights monitors, the public is applauding the efforts, saying they are finally cleaning up their towns.
Last year, the working-class Mayan town of San Juan Sacatepequez, Guatemala, was overrun with street gangs. Extortionists reportedly went through the phone book — name by name — demanding money and threatening violence against families that didn't pay. Residents complained of an impotent police force and a justice system that releases criminals back into the population.
Taking Back The Streets
Fourteen months ago, the people of San Juan Sacatepequez took matters into their own hands. Every night, men gather in the plaza to go on patrol with machetes, truncheons and two-way radios. On a recent night, a group of 20 men — bundled against the mountain cold, some in balaclavas — walked the darkened, hilly streets of their sector.
The patrol leader, a local veterinarian nicknamed "The Jackal," says the gangbangers have mostly left San Juan Sacatepequez, and their security patrols have been so effective that other cities now want to copy them.
"Right now, nothing happens anymore because they know we're patrolling at night," says The Jackal. "If the delinquents try to rob anyone during the day, everyone in the marketplace has whistles to sound the alarm. And everyone comes out and captures the thief."
And what happens then?
The patrol leaders say they hand the thief over to the police. But San Juan Sacatepequez's police chief, whose officers have effectively been marginalized by the citizen patrols, says there have been six vigilante killings in the 10 months he has been on the job — and an attempted lynching last month. Townspeople caught two Nicaraguans they said were thieves. They tied the men up, stripped them, beat them bloody, and paraded them around town.
"They were at the point of pouring gasoline on them and setting them on fire. But it was avoided when the police intervened," says Arbol Pavilla, local representative of the Office of the National Human Rights Ombudsman. "They were lucky. I saw the gas can with my own eyes."
Residents Welcome 'More Tranquility'
At midnight, a cafe owner invites the patrol in off the streets to warm themselves with coffee and tamales. The owner, Osmar Mancilla, sits by the griddle and considers how things have turned around in San Juan Sacatepequez.
"I have a brother-in-law who had a bad experience with extortion. It was a type of terrorism; they had him afraid all the time," Mancilla says.
"There was so much insecurity in the streets. When you'd leave your house, you never knew if you'd ever return. Since they started these patrols, thank God, things have changed. There's more tranquility," he says.
Did the street gangs flee San Juan Sacatepequez because of the night patrols' presence, or because of the message sent by the vigilante killings — in which gang members were publicly incinerated?
"It's sad, because I think there's divine justice, and the only one who can take a life is God. But there are extreme circumstances. If the police protected the population, there wouldn't be the need for these measures," Mancilla says.
Government Encouraged 'Social Cleansing'
Back out on the street, a burly patroller in a ski mask, nicknamed "El Chino," says, "These people are human garbage. We don't want them around."
A few years ago, the Guatemalan government — frustrated at its police force's inability to control the gangs — encouraged limpieza social, or social cleansing. It was an overt message for communities to organize and dispose of gang members, whose numbers are today estimated at 80,000. What happened, wrote a newspaper columnist recently, was the creation of a societal "Frankenstein."
"The state cannot be plunged into a situation where there is no rule of law. We have a saying: The medicine can be worse than the illness," says Interior Minister Francisco Jimenez. "Social cleansing doesn't solve problems, because the result is impunity."
Jimenez says Guatemala is opening new academies to beef up its police force, which is currently less than half the size needed for a country of 13 million. Human-rights monitors accuse the police of condoning social cleansing, if not actually participating in it.
Meanwhile, Guatemala's wave of vigilantism is having its desired effect.
"We don't mess with the people in the provinces," says a 26-year-old former member of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang. "In San Juan, Xela, San Lucas, they're united. If they catch you, they'll pour on gasoline, light a match, and that's it."

I was disappointed in the tone of sensationalism in this story. I have ridden Guatemala's chicken busses in many parts of the country and always found them to be surprisingly convenient, efficient, and cheap. I spent three months this past winter in Guatemala, much of the time was spent touring on my bicycle. No matter how small of a road I decided to ride down, it was never long before a chicken bus lumbered past me with a load of passengers enveloped in Marimba music.
You spoke of the busses "belching smoke", implying they are bad for the environment. But Guatemala takes our trash busses and patches together a functioning public transportation system; what could greener?

I've lived in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for five years, all in poorer neighborhoods. All the problems described in the article happen here too. However, Association for a More Just Society, the organization I work with here, has found a much more peaceful, hopeful, successful solution to these problems than anything these articles point to. Four years after we started working in one of the most violent neighborhoods in the city, UNDP stats show that murder, rape, and robbery are all down by over 60% (opposite the overall trend in Honduras). It's now one of the only neighborhoods in Tegucigalpa where bus drivers don't pay any "war taxes"--and there's no vigilantism either. Basically, we helped the justice system work like it's supposed to. We hired our own investigators and lawyers to work directly with victims, connect them with trustworthy, committed law-enforcement officials (they really do exist), and do some of the groundwork for police and prosecutors who have upwards of 200 cases assigned to them at once. The result: both gang members and vigilante groups that plagued neighborhood have been convicted and incarcerated, the neighborhood's peaceful, people believe in the justice system.

Thanks for doing the story about our buses, but you received a lot of bad information. The country is not updating buses and giving them dedicated lanes. That's one bus route called Transmetro and it's been around for two years.
What the government is trying to do is set up a pre-paid card system that would be installed on all routes.
Secondly, the payment system for drivers varies by company, but generally in the city the bus drivers are on a salary that's negotiated between the drivers union and the companies.
The extortion by gangs is of the companies that own the buses. The drivers are the victims in case the companies don't pay.
By the way, zona 4 is not on the northwest edge of the city.

No one will deny that Guatemala faces its own set of problems, but I am frustrated with its continued portrayal as nothing more than a dangerous, lawless country full of murders, drug traffickers and violence. What about a story on some of the indigenous communities in the highlands? Or the many NGOs who are working to build roads, bridges, schools, water systems, trade cooperatives, etc.? Limiting the characterization of Guatemala to the problems in Guatemala City is like describing the U.S. only by looking at L.A., Chicago or N.Y.C.; you get some truth but there's so much more to the story. Mr. Beaubien, I am an admirer of NPR and especially its foreign coverage. I will be in Guatemala next week, and if you would like to join me I'd be happy to introduce you to some of the many amazing people and organizations who are working to create hope and opportunity in Guatemala.

Halfway through the transfer!
and talked about how we can be consectrated in the work. After that we
worked the rest of the week.
On Thursday we had an incident with one of the members. We gave her a
blessing about two weeks ago when I first got here because she was
complaining about a pressure in her chest. She had been to the
hospital to check it out but the hospital just gave her an antibiotic
because of a misdiagnosis. Anyway she had a massive heart attack on
Thursday and we were asked to go give her a blessing the following
day. She was put into a coma and didn't asked for it but the family
did. We gave her a blessing and said a prayer with the family. It is
such a weird thing when things like that happen to the members out
here. Hope she improves.
So after we had a strange lesson with a less active member, we were
driving home and about half a mile down the road we heard a *thud*.
Then I thought that it could've been my iPad. And when I realized that
it was I felt so stupid. We turned around and looked for it about a
half hour but couldn't find it anywhere. So I said a quick prayer to
myself that I would be able to find it and that it wasn't totally
destroyed. After all we were going about 60 MPH... Well I finally
found it in the middle of the road and to my amazement it was
completely untouched. The glass screen protector was shattered, but
when I peeled it off to see it the screen was damaged, I found that it
hadn't even been scuffed. THAT'S CRAZY! My mind still can't comprehend
what happened! It was a huge blessing that it hadn't even been
Anyway I hope that all is well at home. During my studies, I was
reading the account of Alma and Zoram. Found in Alma 32:26-28
26 Now, as I said concerning faith--that it was not a perfect
knowledge--even so it is with my words. Ye cannot know of their surety
at first, unto perfection, any more than faith is a perfect knowledge.
27 But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an
experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even
if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you,
even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion
of my words.
28 Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place,
that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true
seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that
ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell
within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will
begin to say within yourselves--It must needs be that this is a good
seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul;
yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to
be delicious to me.
Love you all so much! Talk to you next week!

Tabletop Time – Small World
It seems to be a small world after all, just not exactly how you expected. This game makes players fight for conquest and control over a world that is literally too small to fit them all in at once…you have to scramble to fight against everyone playing, using tactics to knock them back and out of the game once and for all. In Small World you basically want to be king of the hill…even if it means kicking your loved ones all the way down it to achieve this victory!
The game is designed by a man named by Philippe Keyaerts as a follow-up from his previous game, Vinci. Small World is inhabited by a strange myriad of characters ranging from dwarves and wizards to giants and orcs and the idea is to use these characters to occupy territories with their troops/tokens.
How To Play The Bloody Thing
At the beginning of the game each player chooses one of the characters available out of a random selection. Every race has two tiles that interlock to describe the race and additional special ability or scoring opportunity. This could mean as an example that you have Dwarves as the race and Flying as the special ability…it would be an amusing start it you had flying dwarves! Can you imagine? 'Cause all I see is the image from Lord of the Rings where Gimli got thrown over to the bridge by Mr. Fancy Pants!
Anyhow. There are also numbers printed on the tiles to show how many race tokens the player may draw when using their chosen race. This is basically how many troops you can put out at any given time. By using these troops, you capture territory on one of four different playing maps. Of course like any other game, it all depends on how many people are playing to what map you get. It would be stupid to player a 5 player map for two people…pretty much defeats the point of the game! So to occupy these territories you must place a certain amount of troops in it as it is based on the location, number of defenders and special abilities of the players race. You got enough tokens to move? Then you get the capture. We don't need to explain that if you can't do it, then it fails. Now it's a bit unfortunate for the opposing player because if you can occupy a territory the it means one creature token from their defending garrison is removed from play and the rest are given back to try to find other territories. After each turn you're scored on the number of territories you have and perhaps if you're lucky some racial abilities will provide a bonus too.
When you go for captures the majority of them are without a die roll however, at the end of the turn if a player isn't able to capture a territory because their tokens are insufficient, then they may roll a special die called the reinforcement die. Pretty self-explanatory, yeah? The idea is to roll this customised six-sided die which increases the strength of their capture by the number rolled. If this fails…then oh well, try again next time. All the tokens are returned to the players other occupied territories and that's the turn done. These cannot be sent out again to capture another territory, even if it means they would have had enough.
As you can guess from what we've already explained, the amount of tokens or troops in a race will eventually diminish over time as people capture territories and someone will end up reaching the maximum capture for territories. Once this happens then the player can announce they are going into decline which allows the player to select a new race to bring into the playing field and their previous tokens remain in place fixed as they continue to gather points. The only way to stop this is to capture the territory.
Luckily the game doesn't go on forever because I'm pretty sure if there wasn't a turn-cap, we'd be playing for days! So yeah, the game ends after the turn limit is reached and the player with the highest score overall wins the game.
Pros and Cons
- Every new game has a new setting which versatile
- Fun group activity
- Can have a lot of laughs as you can choose who you want to screw over the most from your friends
- Well put together as a game
- It can take up time depending on how long people take to decide what to do
- Need to know the rules properly which can also take up time the first time you play
What Made You Want To Play It?
We, like we've mentioned in the past, like to play these games with friends, especially if said friends own a lot of board games. We were introduced to this game on a regular board game night as something new to play and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It really is a game of who you can screw over the most for laughs and can be extremely light-hearted entertainment when you have more than 2 people playing.
Would You Recommend It?
We recommend it to anyone who wishes to play a new board game because let's face it, if you've already played it then you know how awesome it is already. It's a very tactical game so need some insights to be able to enjoy it. Even then if you aren't sure about it, just try it. We can guarantee there will be a ton of laughs involved!

So, Ulf was nice enough to let Sarakai go down and use the firing range on his clan lands. Apparently she had a good time. It's just so damn difficult to find decent sized firing ranges except on planets.
So, I was busy most of the day, without my CTO, but I managed. Even managed to go to the social event - I think she called it a shopping op - Cia organized for the alliance at the Rens Bazaar.
Really, I had to go, so I could talk with Cia. She sent me a message, someone had been causing her trouble. I passed it up to Silver, but I wanted to talk with her about it. Make sure she knew, we were there for her. Of course, the shopping was ok too.
Commissioned a pendant for myself, something that should match my arms, I hope. Cia and Cami got stuff from the same jeweler, think the woman's name was Agnes. Apparently she does hauling too, might have to mention to Silver. Met some other members of the alliance, and Math and another woman showed up, which was awkward, him being Amarr. Still, on the balance, a success, I think. Hope Cia organizes more of them.

Minister Scullion: Tailored support for Indigenous university students
Parliament has today passed amendments to the Higher Education Support Act 2003, to improve support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at university.
Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Nigel Scullion, said that there had been an 85 per cent increase over the last decade in the number of Indigenous undergraduate students enrolled in university. However, retention and completion rates significantly lag behind those of other domestic students.
"Currently, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are 2.5 times more likely to drop out in their first year of university when compared to other domestic students," Minister Scullion said.
"For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students that successfully complete higher education, there is no employment gap when compared to other Australians. In fact, the results are even better for Indigenous women with a degree who statistically have a higher employment rate than their non-Indigenous counterparts."
Minister Scullion said the legislation would help implement the new Indigenous Student Success Program, consolidating three separate support measures into a single comprehensive programme.
"From 2017, the $253.1 million (over four years) Indigenous Student Success Programme will provide greater flexibility to help Indigenous tertiary students to succeed in their studies. Critically, it will also enable universities to provide more tailored support to suit the diverse needs of individual students," Minister Scullion said.
"These reforms have been developed in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academics and universities to ensure a holistic approach to supporting students. We know the focus needs to shift from enrolments, to also lifting retention and completion rates.
"We will continue to work in partnership with universities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to roll out these reforms."

Motherhood, like everything else, has its ups and downs. There are days when my kids make me happier than I ever thought I could be, and there are days when I have to fight the temptation to just leave them at the first Safe Haven I can find.
But there is one downside to motherhood that caught me by surprise, and it's probably the aspect of being a mother that I despise more than any other: having to deal with other mothers.
Mothers are the most judgmental, arrogant, and vicious people I've ever met (and that's saying something when you remember I'm a former pastor!). Not all of them are like that, but enough of them are that I'm dreading the day my kids start to make friends, and I'm going to have to start dealing with those friends' mothers.
Most mothers (myself included) are convinced that their method of parenting is the best. That's obvious; why would anyone choose a parenting method they felt was substandard to another method they were aware of? The trouble comes when they encounter a mother who shares that level of conviction, but subscribes to a different method than the first mother. Rather than recognize that different people have different philosophies, mothers tend to view any difference in parenting approach as a judgement on their own method, and, by extension, on their own abilities as a mother. Therefore anyone with a different approach must be exposed as a bad mother before she can expose you as one.
From what I've seen and read, the parenting philosophy most in vogue right now is "attachment parenting." I find not only the philosophy problematic, but the terminology as well. Since I'm not an attachment parent, does that make me a detachment parent? Someone who is actively trying to separate from my very small children, rather than enjoy a close relationship with them? I don't think so. I don't think attachment parenting is necessarily bad; I just don't think it would work for my family, and I don't believe that it's the only way to raise "secure, joyful, empathic children." I don't believe that not following the attachment parenting strategies will harm the connection and trust between me and my children, the way attachment parents claim it will. Can attachment parenting work? I'm sure it can, and I'm not going to condemn anyone for subscribing to that particular philosophy, especially since the social pressures to do so right now are huge. But I don't.
Especially with how I've observed it being used in practice. Attachment parenting is very child-centered, but according to Attachment Parenting International's website, it's not 'permissive' parenting. However, from what I've seen from other moms who appear to subscribe to the attachment parenting philosophy, they very much engage in permissive parenting, and it's become just as much a social norm as attachment parenting. (The fact that Attachment Parenting International felt the need to draw the distinction on their website indicates to me how much the two have become conflated.)
Generally speaking, there are three primary parenting styles: permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative. Permissive parents show lots of love and affection, accept their children as they are, and make very few demands on them. Children of permissive parents are often spoiled with little or no self control, expect to be spoon-fed physically and emotionally throughout their lives, and are less likely to grow into independent, socially successful adults. Authoritarian parents set rules and standards without any flexibility, emphasize obedience, rarely (if ever) show warmth or affection, and feel it's important to exert power over their children. Children of authoritarian parents usually either rebel and escape their homes at a relatively early age (whether they're ready or not), or else remain dependent on their parents throughout their adulthood. Authoritative parents set rules and guidelines that they expect their children to follow, but can be flexible when such flexibility is appropriate. They exercise control over their children without being controlling, and often show love and affection to their children without fear that such expressions will diminish their ability to discipline. Children of authoritative parents usually grow up to be independent, socially successful, and respectful of authority.
I strive to be an authoritative parent.
Attachment parenting, when done exactly as Attachment Parenting International lays it out, is also authoritative. However, as I mentioned before, I've usually seen adherents to the attachment parenting model unable to exercise appropriate discipline and/or set boundaries. Because attachment parenting places such an emphasis on not doing anything to damage the trust and connection between child and parent, many parents fear doing exactly that if they tell a child 'no' and refuse to accept inappropriate behavior. This makes permissive parenting the social norm and expected default.
And woe to anyone who deviates from the norm.
From the perspective of a permissive parent, someone who is using authoritative methods appears to be authoritarian or even abusive. Authoritative parents set clear boundaries and high - but reachable - expectations for their children. Violating those boundaries or not meeting those expectations has consequences. Most of the time it's pretty non-dramatic. For example, my husband and I are very polite in our conversations with each other and with our children. "Please" and "thank you" are regularly spoken by us. My three and a half year old son (and my almost-two year old daughter, for that matter) has been hearing this his whole life. When we ask him to do something we include the 'please' and follow it up with 'thank you.' He knows what's expected. When he wants something and he demands it ("Push me in!"), we ignore him. Most of the time he'll adjust his tone and his words on his own ("Excuse me, Mama?" "Yes?" "Will you push me in, please?" "Of course.") If he doesn't do this on his own, after ignoring a second demand or sitting too long in silence, we'll prompt him ("How do you ask?" "Please." "Please what?" "Will you push me in, please?" "That's better.") It's very simple, and it's pretty non-confrontational. If he wants something, he needs to ask politely, or he doesn't get it. We don't expect as much from our daughter, who is just beginning to use one or two word sentences, but we're still setting high but reachable expectations. ("More!" "How do you ask?" "Please!") More often than not her initial request is "More please!" We started this at different times with our kids, depending on where they were developmentally; we don't expect more from them than they can do, but compared to so many children of the same age whose parents expect nothing from them, we seem harsh and demanding.
Often the expectations and consequences are negotiated between me and my son (my daughter needs to get a little more verbal before she can enjoy this experience). If he puts all his toys away after lunch, I'll read him his favorite story. "But I want to go to the mall playground." "You would rather go to the mall playground than hear your favorite story?" "Yes." "We can do that, but you have to eat your lunch quickly. If you take too long, we won't have time to go. So if you eat your lunch quickly, and put all your toys away quickly, then we can go to the mall playground." "OK!" He's never not eaten and put his toys away quickly enough for me to not take him.
Such interactions require both of us to be calm and rational. While very small children are more capable of this than many parents believe, they are also prone to temper tantrums, which is a clear violation of the established boundaries and expectations of this authoritative parent. Simply put, I don't negotiate with terrorists, especially pint-sized ones who call me 'Mama.' When my kids throw a temper tantrum, not only do they absolutely not get what they want, they are given to the count of five to shut down the tantrum or they go in time-out. Both my son and my daughter do standing time-outs facing the corner (for different lengths of time, accounting for the differences in their ages and temperaments), and have been for quite a while. Once the time-out is over, I tell them why they went in time-out, and how to avoid that in the future. By this time they're more calm and rational, and they understand that the punishment is over now, and they're more willing to interact in an appropriate manner. They still don't get whatever it was they were demanding; that ship sailed once the temper tantrum started. My son rarely has to do a time-out in public anymore, because he's already learned from experience that Mama can find a time-out corner anywhere. He's also pretty philosophical about his time-outs. Once he's in there, the only way out is to be quiet, because he knows the clock doesn't start ticking until the screaming and crying end. My daughter is still learning both these truths, so I'm still faced with the miserable experience of giving her time-outs in public.
My daughter is almost two. I realize that many parents don't even try to discipline children this young, so the fact that I do is shocking and horrifying to them. She is also extremely stubborn (she gets it from both her parents) and has a pretty vile temper. So when she throws a temper tantrum in public, permissive parents who would probably deal with her by hugging her, kissing her, and giving her a sippy of juice and a cookie to calm her down see me instead tell her to "shut it down" and then count to five in my sternest 'Mommy-voice.' If she doesn't shut it down (she has been more often lately, but she still usually doesn't), I then pick her up under the arms, carry her without holding her close (partly because I don't want her to think she's being cuddled and partly because I'm trying to stay out of range of her wildly kicking feet) and plop her down in the nearest boring corner I can find, facing the wall. Permissive parents who can't stand to hear a baby cry see me forcing her to stand in time-out while she's screaming bloody murder. Since their default is to assume every cry or scream is a sign of genuine distress and must be stopped by hugs, kisses, and affirmation, they don't see discipline; they see child abuse.
The way I see it, there are only three possible ways to deal with temper tantrums: appease them, ignore them, or punish them. I will not reward such behavior, even if appeasement usually is the most expedient way of getting them to stop, because it also guarantees many more of the same once the child figures out that throwing a tantrum will get her what she wants. For a while I tried ignoring them, but that's not really an option in public, and at home they can last a very long time if merely ignored. I also want to be consistent, and have the same response at home as I do in public. Punishing them sends the message much more effectively that this behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. I use time-outs because I don't believe in hitting, I don't see much point in a screaming contest, and making her tell it to an empty corner is the best way I can think of to get her to understand that no one wants to hear it. If my kids have a complaint they can tell me about it, using words. My three and a half year old son is not shy about telling me "I don't like that" or "I don't want to." I don't put him in time-out for that. If it's reasonable to change whatever it is to something he does like or is more willing to do, then I change it. If such a change is not reasonable, I tell him something along the lines of "I'm sorry, you don't have to like it, but you do have to do it" and I tell him why. And he accepts that and does it and moves on. He doesn't usually throw temper tantrums to protest something anymore because he knows it's only going to get him put in time-out, and he has a much better chance of changing something if he talks to me about it instead. My daughter is still learning this.
I'm not looking for the approval of other moms. But I don't think it's appropriate to let toddlers call the shots. Personally, I think giving children too many choices or too much control is abusive, because life is stressful, and that's too much responsibility for a two or three year old (or four, or eight, or twelve--you get my point). Some choice and control is appropriate--my son chooses his breakfast every morning: Cheerios or Kashi. He picks out his shirt after I tell him whether he has to pick from the long-sleeve or the short-sleeve side of the drawer, and then he picks from two or three pairs of pants or shorts I've selected that more or less match the shirt he's chosen. My kids have choices that are appropriate to their age, and they're learning that they have some say in the world in which they live, but they don't have total control. Vegetables are a part of supper whether they like them or not, ice cream is a nice surprise every once in a while but never an earned reward, and temper tantrums get you put in time-out. As they get older, they'll learn more of life's lessons, but this is a good start for now.
So if you're a permissive parent who doesn't believe that toddlers are capable of self-control, understand that while that may be true of your toddler, it's not true of mine (though if you've never expected it of your toddler, how would you even know?). Please learn the difference between authoritative parenting and authoritarian parenting (and abusive parenting). Also consider what you're teaching your child about how the world works, and whether or not they're in for a really rude awakening at some point.
And know that when you threaten to call Child Protective Services on a mother who's enforcing a time-out for her almost-two year old in a corner of the mall playground, you're coming across as a judgmental, arrogant, vicious ignoramus who doesn't know how to handle her own children. (Yes, that really happened to me last week, which is why this rant is so long. My apologies to everyone who does recognize that different parents have different philosophies, and thank you for your tolerance.)

They released their debut EP, Buried, Dead & Done in 2009 and followed up with their debut album, Hardships in 2011 through Panic & Action, as well as a four-track single in 2012. They released their second-full length album Terrra on June 12, 2015.

Aim For The Sunrise.
In late 2008 five guys in the age 16 - 18 found eachother through a combined interest of music.
Sharing the ideal of a much deeper cause behind their music, it was soon obvious that they would give this
band top priority.
A few months after rehearsing, a demo was recorded in a amature studio. The demo "The Secret About Life & Hope" was the launch that made them self a name in the scene. And received great reviews in the Close Up magazine, calling them "our swedish delicacy".
Since the start in late 2008 afts have played stages all over the country and working hard to spread their music and approach as good as possible.
And during that time writing new material for a new recor...

Keeping Secrets.
I hate secrets! Honestly, I am the worst person to tell a secret to and I'm not ashamed to admit it. The funny this is I used to think that I was the one person in the world that could keep a secret, but I was so incredibly wrong. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? When somebody tells me "I'm going to tell you a secret", or however the secret conversation comes about, I cringe because I know I cant keep it. I just like to talk.. a lot. Unless im around people I don't know, and then I don't talk at all. Any who, the problem with talking way to much is, you run out of things to talk about. Once I run out of things to say I dip into my "people's secrets" file in my brain and spill the beans. I don't mean to I just don't think before I talk. Especially if it's a really juicy secret, then that will just come out. The reason I am perfectly fine with sharing this with the world is because I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO TELL ME SECRETS ANYMORE! I just can't hold it in. You have no idea how many fights I've gotten into and friendships I've lost because of this.
Am I the only one like this, or am I just the only one who admits it? I know my moms the same exact way, and that's probably who I get it from to be honest. Or maybe its just all women. Everyone knows women love gossip and drama, and that's exactly what spreading people's secrets is…. Gossip, and then as soon as the other person finds out dramagalore. That is why today I am officially on the road to recovery. I really think it might be a disease. The "I-cant-keep-a-secret-to-save-my-life" disease, hmm seems legit. Sadly, I know even drugs or alcohol doesnt cure it actually it makes it worse. Even my own secrets I tell people of course after I blurt it out I think "Shit, why the hell did I just say that?". I would love to find the cure, and I know shutting the F up just wont do.
I dont like to think of myself as an untrustworthy person, but maybe thats what I am. It's not my fault though I dont do it to hurt people. I do it because I dont think when I speak. This is a great heads-up though so people will read this and maybe think twice about telling me that secret. Dont get me wrong I love to hear the secret, but my loud mouth wont keep it hidden. Thats why watching a lot of dramas on tv is better than hearing your friends secrets I think 🙂
Anyway, goodnight wordpress. This was really a post for yesterday, but I was a little late. Sorry.
XOXOXOXOXOXO; Kaylalarissax3

Blurring the line between animal and human.
On this week's episode of On the Media, we're engaging in some chillingly informed speculation: what would happen if we, as a species, lost access to our electronic records? What if, either by the slow creep of technological obsolescence or sudden cosmic disaster, we no longer could draw from the well of of knowledge accrued through the ages? What if we fell into…a digital dark age?
Around the country, people are using on-demand services in place of going to brick-and-mortar businesses. Joy Cardin speaks to a guest who says that on-demand services are increasingly isolating and are creating shut-ins of some customers.

Stories of people trying to love their neighbors…and failing.
Students all over are starting college this month, and some of them still have a nagging question: what, exactly, got me in? An admissions officer tells us the most wrongheaded things applicants try. And Michael Lewis has the incredible story of how a stolen library book got one man — Emir Kamenica — into his dream school.
Stories of filling in the blank. A man finds himself in a train station in India, with no idea how he got there or who he is. His memory gone, he has no choice but to let other people—police, doctors, friends, family—create an identity for him.
Only the clever need apply. This week, stories of people acting on a technicality in the face of some of life's toughest regulators: financial regulators, parents and God.

CHINESE businessman Kenny Huang has promised to give manager Roy Hodgson big money to spend in the transfer market if he succeeds in his bid to buy Liverpool.
Huang, a former Wall Street stockbroker and now head of Hong Kong-based investment company QSL Sports Ltd, announced yesterday he had been in talks with Royal Bank of Scotland over the possibility of taking full control of the club, which has been up for sale since April.
But the tycoon was left on tenterhooks last night when it emerged the club were mulling over several other bids to buy out American co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
Chairman Martin Broughton and investment bank Barclays Capital, leading the sale, say they will elect a preferred bidder by the end of next week.
Backed by one of the wealthiest investment funds in the Far East, Huang says he has been locked in discussions with RBS, the club's main creditors, over buying out the club's £237m debt.
It is thought Huang has also set money aside to give to Hodgson to strengthen his squad and pay off the unpopular Hicks and Gillett, although it is believed his overall offer is lower than their £350m valuation.
Huang is also keen to revitalise the club's plans to move into a new 60,000-seater stadium in Stanley Park – a project put on hold by Hicks and Gillett.
A source close to the bid said: "He wants to get it done quickly so investment can come this summer. Liverpool need investment in the playing squad and infrastructure and Huang wants to build the stadium. The club has an outstanding reputation but does not have the infrastructure to keep with it and make it grow."
Huang's vow has proved popular with the fans, who have regularly voiced their dissatisfaction at the level of debt taken on by the club after Hicks and Gillett's £218.9m buyout in February 2007.
● A former Wall Street stock broker, he became China's first graduate to work in the New York Stock Exchange in the 1980s.
● Helped bring Chinese basketball superstar Yao Ming to the NBA, and through his company, SportsPro Media, has involvement with both the New York Yankees and Cleveland Cavaliers.
● Owner of China's National Basketball League and founder of QSL Youth Development Sports Foundation, a sports-related charity fund.
● His business venture, Rocket Capital has connections with China's state industries and invests large amounts into the Hong Kong private equity market.

Recent surge in oil prices boosts US retail gasoline to $3.72 per gallon
NEW YORK (AP) ' The price of gasoline is continuing its steady climb. Drivers are paying the highest price ever for the end of February.
The national average now sits at $3.72 per gallon, up 30 cents from a month ago and 35 cents from the same time last year. Prices are highest in Hawaii, Alaska, California, New York and Connecticut.
Gasoline is following a similar rise in oil, which is used to make gasoline. Analysts say the national average could peak in late April as high as $4.25 per gallon as refineries shift to a more expensive blend of gasoline used in the summer.
Oil prices have jumped 10 percent this year. They fell slightly on Tuesday, however, giving up 10 cents to $108.46 per barrel in New York.

TENACITY: Keeping a Firm Hold on Life
I am sitting out on the deck enjoying the beautiful day. Birds are singing, butterflies fluttering, flowers blooming...Wait a minute..No flowers were planted there.
I walk up to this plant: A blooming (I mean literally blooming!) weed growing that no one planted. There it was just as sturdy an healthy as if it had been watered and tended to like a rose instead of pulled up, cut down, stomped on.
The tenacious weed is everywhere in the world; dry desert, up in the mountains, down in the valley, and even blooming in the black volcanic sands in Iceland the tenacious weed just keeps on holding.
I was curious, what made the weeds stronger than well tended flowers like the rose? This time I did not Google it but went to my good old Complete Wordfinder.
Tenacity - Tenacious...Keeping a firm hold on principles, life.
Holding fast, persistent, resolute, maintaining, keep up, firm, strong, secure, tight, tough, dogged (love this), unfaltering, pertinacious (lovely word!) unswerving, determined (I've made up my mind!) diligent, resolute, staunch, stalwart, steadfast, unshaken, unshakable, obstinate (hmm), intransigent, stubborn (ouch), adamant, obdurate, refractory - you got to love reading a dictionary - immovable, inflexible, firm, and so much more!
Ah, if we could have a fraction of the tenacity of a humble weed to just hang in there, and keep blooming no matter where we happen to be planted.
Personally, when I've come to the end of my rope I pertinaciously (couldn't resist) tie another knot and keep on swinging. Enjoy life, it has an expiration date on it.
Ieda Jónasdóttir Herman is an author and motivational speaker based out of Illinois. At the age of 88, she wrote and published her first book, a memoir of growing up in Iceland. She has since published two fiction works for children. Following a stroke in 2016, she had dedicated her time to education of stroke awareness and encouraging seniors to become more active in life.

Wireless Networks: Past, Present, and Future
Looking at the history of wireless networks can show just how relatively new the technology is. The first two generations, 1G and 2G, created in the 1980s and used up to the late 1990's, were primarily designed for voice communications with no real thought given to data. The introduction of 2.5G in the late 1990s allowed for data activities such as sending and receiving email and web browsing. It is the third and the current fourth generation, 3G and 4G, that consumers are most familiar with that ushered in today's mobile data usage.
3G was introduced to the United States in 2003 "with minimum consistent Internet speeds of 144Kbps" (Segan, 2013, para 3) and are capable to get a data connection "anywhere from 400Kbps to more than ten times that" (Segan, 2013, para 3). This level of connectivity allowed consumers to connect to the internet at roughly 8 times the speed dial-up modems provided about a decade earlier, all in the palm of their hand. The first 4G networks began to appear around 2011 offering "networks that can handle download and upload speeds of up to 75 megabits per second (Mbps)"…

however, i do love em and always have since day i bought this in 1985 in a record store above a health food shop in the exotic part of belfast then.
i got a lyric sheet in it and read and sang along with the nihilistic lyrics. i loved it . 60's pop melodies with loud fuzz..this was what punk was meant to sound like ....and thank fuck...it did.
a classic cover as well. cool geeks...thats a tuff look to pull off , but they do it.

Matthew 5:13-26
13) "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men. 14) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. 15) Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. 17) T hink not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18) For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19) Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20) For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21) You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.' 22) But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire. 23) So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24) leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25) Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; 26) truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny."

Thursday night I was at the SF Fringe Festival to check out this one-man show parodying motivational business speakers. Bill Bernat, casually dressed in blue jeans & wearing a headset mic, stood at a lectern & introduced himself as a Microvational Speaker, explaining that he would motivate us...but just a little. For the next hour, with the aid of PowerPoint slides, he described a catalog of stress-inducing co-workers & told Dilbert-like stories from his days as an IT manager. The show is a series of bullet points rather than a theatrical experience. Mr. Bernat is frank about the inherent competition within corporate environments, where in order to get ahead you may need to sabotage your own coworkers. There was something disturbing about his own admissions of his nettlesome workplace behavior.
The EXIT Theater spaces are cramped, & the show was well-attended. The enthusiastic Fringe ushers encouraged us to purchase beverages to bring into the theater, & a good proportion of the audience did so.

Thanks so much for coming to the show! I make fun of some of my stupid, embarrassing past office behaviors to make it easier for others to laugh at theirs. I believe that when become more self-aware we can freak out less, and be less like the menacing "job stress supervillains" in the show. But mainly, it's just fun to laugh about the things that stress us out at work:) - Microvational speaker Bill Bernat

I should have mentioned how important it is that you now freak out less! To me the uncomfortable part of the show is having to consider what evil co-worker behaviors I may have committed. Thanks for making my 1st Fringe show an entertaining one.

Suddenly it's college againJune 22, 2008
I am still not clearly informed of what irregularity my grandfather caught aside from it being something from the cancer family but one new update of information I got was that instead of being 'mid-stage', it's 'end-stage', so yeah.
And due to several other complications and circumstances, my grandfather will not be going through any surgeries or treatments at all. He'll only be given painkillers for when necessary and wait for THE DAY. Not good, but there's nothing more we could do really. Sure reminds me how fragile a human body really is. And all these while, watching anime and playing games and all, I thought humans could fly and read minds and shoot beams from their anus and have OVER NINE THOUSAND HPs and be revived with a bird feather and stuff. …daymn…
Then other stuff happens~ I spent most of my time with my PSP~ finished GTA~ got back home~ and omfg it's Sunday night already.
Here's a nice song to lighten things up:

Lunar Eclipse 4-15-14
It is hard to convey the peaceful energy of a midnight lunar eclipse. The reddening of the moon's globe, Mars is just nearby--at once both spurring and becalming the soul. The ancient Stoics developed a cosmology in which everything in the universe is interconnected and unified through pneuma, "breath of life", if you will. So, Hellenistic astrology sought for correspondences between planetary and lunar attributes and the vicissitudes of the human soul. The moon was a ruler of a maternal embodiment and Mars, a master of impulsive drive.
To me, gazing at the sky and resonating with heavenly characteristics is not an attempt to overcome fate through astrological micro-management, but a means for experiencing the interconnection of all things, my particular brand of pantheism. One prominent Neoplatonist, Plotinus, rejected Hellenistic astrology, believing that the human soul could rise to God or the One without intermediaries. But most Neoplatonists after him rejected the hubris of doing it alone and incorporated some form of ritual or slow cultivation of virtue to attain a relationship to the Divine.
The Transcendentalist, Emerson, and some Unitarians of the 19th century tended to line up with Plotinus asserted the inherent goodness and reflective capabilities of human beings while the Universalists seem more akin to the Stoics believing that humans are nursed and nurtured by a good universe. Well tonight, around midnight, I feel nurtured by the crimson sky.
