My daughter has made a paper cup telephone system. It works about as well as these ever do... whenever the yarn is pulled taut enough for good reception, it is moments away from pulling through the hole in the bottom of the cup.
I am not sure of the exact purpose of the small flowerpots she has nested with them. Perhaps when the phone is in stand-by mode you can hang up your receiver by putting it down on an upside-down pot?

MIKE THE POET — His Sprawling Muse: L.A.Friday, January 30th, 2009
For Mike the Poet, Los Angeles is his sprawling muse
He sees diversity as the city's strength and finds inspiration in every part of the metropolis.
January 30, 2009
One warm night last fall, a man in baggy jeans and a long T-shirt hustled onto a bus that was ferrying gallery hoppers around downtown's monthly Art Walk.
With an intent look in his bright blue eyes, he grabbed a microphone and began spitting out rhymes. "I've seen the best minds of my generation / kicking glorious incantations," he intoned as the bus lurched up Main Street. "I make the consonants crack / like Jack Kerouac."
© L.A. Times
Mike the Poet in action at Crane's Hollywood Tavern
The bus was packed, the air was thick with marijuana smoke and most riders seemed more interested in shouting absurdities out the window than listening to poetry.
But the man with the mike continued, valiantly unfurling verses until he got off near a friend's gallery, where he would deliver two more poems.
Mike the Poet might well be the hardest-working bard in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old Long Beach native and resident (whose real name is Mike Sonksen) gives more than 200 spoken-word performances each year and hosts regular open-mike nights. He teaches creative writing part time and gives professional tours of the city's architectural landmarks — laced with poetry, of course.
He doesn't do it for riches or for the ego boost. He is driven instead by the simple belief that in the "postmodern metropolis" of L.A., the city is what the people make it. His poems, which often read like little histories, celebrate the city and its countercultural movements.
"There are little worlds, little villages, little pockets all over the city, and there are all of these different scenes and movements throughout the years," he said. "What I'm doing is cataloging it."
In the process, Mike the Poet is also trying to build an art movement of his own — something he refers to as the New Beautiful. Centered on the Eastside spoken-word and urban music scenes, it is more positive, he says, than the often-competitive slam poetry community, which he avoids and decries as "too Hollywood."

Violence Prevention Education
|Listed below are some of our violence prevention presentations aimed at helping the community better understand the dynamics of relationship violence and the resources the YWCA has to offer. To schedule a presentation or training, please contact Rachel Panizzi, firstname.lastname@example.com or 765-423-7029.
Understanding teen dating violence
This presentation is very interactive and specifically tailored to a teen audience. By analyzing video clips, songs currently popular on the radio, and music videos, teens will get a better understanding of what healthy versus unhealthy relationships look like. Topics discussed include:
•The common forms of dating abuse
•The importance of consent
•The factors that influence someone's decision to stay or leave an abusive relationship
•How to safely end an abusive relationship
The primary audience for this presentation is community groups, workplaces, and religious organizations. After discussing the prevalence and dynamics of domestic violence, the presentation focuses on concrete steps one can take to help a friend or family member who is being abused. Much of this presentation focuses on understanding the reasons why victims may not appear to want help, and how to remain a loving supporter of the victim throughout this difficult journey.
Society's response to domestic violence
The primary audience for this presentation is college or graduate student groups who would like to take an in-depth look at the dynamics of intimate partner abuse, how society fails victims through victim-blaming, and how "the system" sometimes fails the victims it is meant to protect.
Intimate partner violence: training for healthcare providers
The exact format for this hands-on training will vary based upon the needs of each unique audience. The type of trainings available range from brief discussions about YWCA services, to annual or semi-annual presentations, to on-going consultation in implementing an office/system-wide protocol for intimate partner violence assessment. Each type of training is further described below:
Brief discussions: This training is ideal for healthcare providers and staff who work in a setting with an established intimate partner violence protocol and who already have both a strong understanding of the dynamics of intimate partner violence. In this training, we will discuss the services offered by the YWCA for men and women who are experiencing intimate partner abuse.
Annual / semi-annual training: This training is ideal for students in medical programs or for current providers looking for continuing education on intimate partner violence. Participants in this hands-on, active training will come away with a better understanding of 1) the dynamics and health consequences of abuse; 2) reasons why a patient might stay in an abusive relationship; and 3) how to assess, document, and intervene in cases of intimate partner violence in a compassionate, culturally-sensitive way.
On-going consultation: For healthcare offices or systems desiring to implement a new protocol or evaluate an existing protocol for intimate partner violence assessment and intervention, we offer on-going guidance through the process of:
-Choosing the appropriate assessment tool
-Training staff in proper assessment documentation
-Educating staff about community resources for abused patients
-Evaluating protocol efficacy and staff compliance.
If you would like more information about a domestic violence topic not listed above, please contact Leah Giorgini at firstname.lastname@example.com or 765-423-7008 to discuss the possibility of designing a unique presentation tailored specifically for your group.

A grievance policy states how your organisation will approach volunteer grievances, concerns or complaints. It also outlines the approach taken to complaints or grievances about a volunteer or their actions.
This links to National Standards for Involving Volunteers No.4 – Work and the workplace.
Your policy is a guide to how to deal with any kind of complaint or dispute resolution. It should include:
- What to do when an employee and/or a volunteer have a dispute between them
- What an employee and/or volunteer can do if they have a complaint
- An outline of the complaint procedure
- Who is covered by the policy
- The roles and responsibilities of those people involved and their supervisors/managers
- How to make an appeal
- What happens when a grievance or complaint is made
- Timelines
- Who else can help.
You might find it is helpful to present the information as a flow chart.
What needs to go in it?
If you are writing a disputes and grievances policy, provide clear step-by-step instructions on who the complainant needs to speak to. Normally this is the manager of the department.
The manager should arrange to meet the volunteer to talk about the issue and try to resolve the issue internally. It is important to have another manager or director available as an alternative contact person in case the complainant has a problem with the manager and doesn't feel comfortable approaching him or her. It is a good idea to create the disputes and grievance policy as a flow chart.
If a solution isn't found after the first meeting between the complainant and manager and neither party is t satisfied with the outcome, the next step would be for the manager's supervisor to be involved in discussions.
It is best for disputes and grievances to be solved internally. However, if after approaching all levels of management, the dispute cannot be resolved, a third party can be brought into discussions. This third party could be the local volunteer resource centre. Volunteers can also call the Dispute Settlement Centre of Victoria, which offers free mediation services to all Victorians.
It is important for all discussions to be friendly and open, and for the volunteer to be encouraged to be direct. Make sure the meeting takes place where it is convenient for both parties and the volunteer feels comfortable – somewhere his or her privacy isn't jeopardised.
What now?
Make the document public. Don't be afraid of receiving complaints or disputes. It is better to solve the problem in the beginning than let it escalate. When your disputes and grievances policy is finalised, make the document public and upload it to your website. It is no good having a dispute and grievances policy if no one knows it exists. Make sure your volunteers understand the disputes and grievances policy and whom to go to for assistance. For new volunteers, it can be incorporated into the induction.
Read our section on Disputes and grievances for more information.

Reviewed by Erica Johnson
Published on H-LatAm (September, 2010)
Commissioned by Dennis R. Hidalgo (Virginia Tech)
The Avenging Revolution
Laurent Dubois eloquently tells the story of the Haitian Revolution, from the Old Regime to Haitian independence in 1804. The Haitian Revolution is important to world history in many ways. It was the first independent Latin American nation and the second independent country in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. More significantly, it serves as a strong indication of the radicalism of the eighteenth century. The Haitian Revolution turned the world as known at that time upside down, as former slaves came to govern a former European colony in the Caribbean. Although this significant event has been a long-neglected topic, Dubois does contribute to and moves beyond a limited existing historiography, including the works of such authors as C. L. R. James (The Black Jacobins: Toussaint Louverture and the San Domingo Revolution [1938]), Thomas Ott (The Haitian Revolution, 1789-1804 [1973]), and Carolyn Fick (The Making of Haiti: The Saint Domingue Revolution from Below [1990]). Avengers of the New World coincided with the bicentennial of the Haitian Revolution in 2004, and potentially reaches a broader audience through its readability, style, and sentiment.
Dubois stresses that the revolution did not spontaneously occur one fateful day; during the centuries leading up to the revolution, many factors contributed to the future of the colony. Various tensions existed among the population of Saint-Domingue, which fermented over time. Dubois explains this background in the first three cleverly title chapters, "Specters of Saint-Domingue," "Fermentation," and "Inheritance." The specters that haunted Saint-Domingue included the indigenous Tainos, privateers, Christopher Columbus and his expeditions, previous uprisings, white colonists taken by disease, and slaves defeated by the institution of slavery. Absentee owners demanded production from the overseers within the colonies, resulting in resentment and abuse of power and slaves. Although the colony operated under different conditions than the metropole, Paris dictated the laws for Saint-Domingue. White colonists began to crave autonomy. The dependency on slave drivers by the overseers created a hierarchy among the slaves, most of who were African-born. Development of cultural unity through Creole language and religion, coupled with the concentrations of Africans from particular geographic regions, allowed for organization. Free people of color, particularly those of mixed European and African ancestry, inherited great wealth, limited autonomy, and slavery--many free people of color owned plantations and slaves. Yet they did not inherit French citizenship and equal rights to the white colonists.
Despite popular beliefs, the Haitian Revolution was not just a slave uprising. It was a "transcultural movement" (p. 5). There were three overlapping revolutions within what is collectively titled the Haitian Revolution: a challenge to imperial authority by white colonists, the fight for racial equality by free people of color, and an end to slavery through the mass slave revolt. After the eruption of the French Revolution in 1789, white colonists recognized an opportunity to revise the administration of the colony, some even calling for secession from France. Free people of color attempted to obtain new rights through the revolution. Dubois implicates these free people of color as similar to the Third Estate in France--perhaps even an equivalent. The most significant element of the revolution was the slave uprising in August 1791, to which Dubois devotes the bulk of the text. Whites fled the revolt; therefore, France sent commissioners to return peace to the colony, eventually resulting in universal emancipation in 1794. However, this did not end the revolution. The surviving black leaders on the island continued to battle for power. In 1800, Toussaint Louverture took control of the island, including Santo Domingo to the East, which the Spanish had ceded to France in 1795. In 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte sent General Charles Leclerc to remove Louverture from power through a three-stage plan. The French army successfully removed Louverture, but the ex-slaves, fearing the reinstitution of slavery, willingly fought to the death to maintain their freedom. In 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines declared Haitian independence.
Inspired by the words of early historian and philosopher Louis Sebastien Mercier, who predicted a slave uprising (1771), and revolutionary leader Dessalines (1804), Dubois symbolically titled his book Avengers of the New World. In many ways, this book avenges Haiti's history by resituating the revolution within greater contexts, including Atlantic history. Dubois highlights the enlightened, not barbaric, culture in Saint-Domingue leading up to the revolution. He describes the multivolume history of the island undertaken by Médéric-Louis-Elie Moreau de St. Méry as a "classic Enlightenment project" (p. 10). He also notes the scientific exploration in Saint-Domingue by the Cercle de Philadelphes, a colonial learned society founded in 1785, and the ascension of the first balloon over the Americas in 1784, only one year after France had done so across the Atlantic. One of his primary sources is a colonial newspaper founded in 1791, the Moniteur Général de la Partie Française de Saint-Domingue. In addition to the Enlightenment activities in the colony, Dubois explains how the Haitian Revolution was not a response to the French Revolution, but a vital part of the larger "Age of Revolution." Dubois asserts, "The slaves of Saint-Domingue who had helped lay the foundation for the French Revolution would ultimately make it their own, and even surpass it, in their own struggle for liberty" (p. 21). Despite the necessary use of racial terminology within the book, such as gens de couleur and petits blancs, Dubois cautions against the employment of race to generalize or simplify the complexities of the revolution, because "complicated ideological and political forces often divided groups that we might be tempted to see as unified by 'race'" (p. 6).
Although not based on archival research, Dubois's detail and analysis of printed primary and secondary sources successfully challenge some long-accepted myths within European and North American historiography regarding the Haitian Revolution. One such myth is of the religious ceremony at Bois-Caïman, where slaves planned the initial slave uprising of the Haitian Revolution. Only one written account of the event exists, but it is from the negative perspective of a white surgeon, Antoine Dalmas, who fled to the United States. Yet many historians have attempted to study the ceremony, from arguing for its veracity (James in his Black Jacobins) to doubting its existence (David Patrick Geggus in Haitian Revolutionary Studies [2002]).[1] Through an analysis of Dalmas's account and a synthesis of the existing secondary literature, Dubois explains the importance of Bois-Caïman as a symbol in Haitian revolutionary history. He writes, "Thus Bois-Caïman remains a symbol of the achievement of the slave insurgents of Saint-Domingue, a symbol not of a specific event whose details we can pin down, but rather of the creative spiritual and political epic that both prompted and emerged from the 1791 insurrection" (p. 102). Like Dalmas's account, the other sources used by Dubois are available in published form. His primary sources range from an official report recorded by Jean-Philippe Garran-Coulon to the Philadelphia General Advertiser. Perhaps an archival source-based study could add to the informative efforts of Dubois.
Dubois includes a thoughtful epilogue, "Out of the Ashes," which explains the ramifications of the revolution for Haiti and the world around it. After independence, Haiti scarcely experienced peace, because some of the promises of the revolution remained unfulfilled. For slaves, free blacks, and abolitionists throughout the Atlantic, the Haitian Revolution was inspirational. Some of these people left record of their inspired efforts, such as Frederick Douglass and Victor Schoelcher. Dubois writes, "Through such writings, through conversations, through rumors and nightmares and dreams, those who died for and lived through the Haitian Revolution became part of every society in the Atlantic world. They continue to speak to us, as founders in a long struggle for dignity and freedom that remains incomplete" (p. 306).

Malaysia Airlines to Eliminate 6,000 Jobs in Turnaround Effort
State Fund to Spend Up to $2 Billion to Revive Country's Flag Carrier
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—The state fund that controls Malaysia Airlines announced the most job cuts in the company's history as the centerpiece of a plan to revive a carrier battered by two recent air tragedies and years of weak earnings.
But analysts said the steps may be insufficient to turn around the carrier. Like many other national airlines, Malaysia's flag carrier is struggling with a large, costly workforce, an unwieldy network of routes and competition from new, low-cost rivals. But Malaysia Airlines also has been pummeled...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Living in the City of Brotherly Love and lacking a Valentine's Day date?
Don't despair. Apparently, Philadelphia is one of the best cities in the country for singles.
That's according to real estate website Zillow, which released its list of the "10 Best Metros for Meeting Your Valentine."
RELATED: Top Spots for a Winter First Date
Based on the percentage of its population that's unmarried (more than half), the relatively high incomes of those singles ($18,000+) and a large number of "potential date spots" (14 for every 10,000 people), Philly earned the 10th spot on the Zillow roundup.
So, what city's number one for those who are looking for love?
With more than half of its population unattached and (relatively) wealthy, tech hub San Francisco was ranked the best place for singletons.

The Nazi rise to power brought an end to the Weimar Republic, a parliamentary democracy established in Germany after World War I. Following the appointment of Adolf Hitler as chancellor on January 30, 1933, the Nazi state (also referred to as the Third Reich) quickly became a regime in which Germans enjoyed no guaranteed basic rights. Culture, the economy, education, and law all came under Nazi control. Extensive propaganda was used to spread the regime's goals and ideals.
Hitler had the final say in both domestic legislation and German foreign policy. Nazi foreign policy was guided by the racist belief that Germany was biologically destined to expand eastward by military force. In the context of this ideological war, the Nazis planned and implemented the Holocaust, the mass murder of the Jews, who were considered the primary "racial" enemy. Open criticism of the regime was suppressed, but Hitler's government was popular with most Germans. The Allies defeated Nazi Germany and forced a German surrender on May 8, 1945.

I have a friend who, as he had always said to me, lives in a total paradise. I never believed him until I saw for myself.
He lives in Minokamo, a very small town in Gifu, somewhere between Kyoto and Tokyo, and northwest to Nagoya. Small people live in Gifu; people who think small and love the countryside. Minokamo itself is not a special place to be at. It's more or less a village with rice fields and outlets where they sell Gucci, Prada and Hermes on sale. Contradictory, but yes outlets with labels, which I haven't been to, because my male friend didn't want to bring me female shopping. (How Much I miss my gay friends!)
Day one in Gifu
The first day in Gifu we hiked starting at Magome-juku and walking 7 kilometres to Tsumago-juku
Both are small villages on a path people used to walk to go to Tokyo. The Japanese government decided to keep the pathway and both villages traditional and create a touristy place. The people in the area didn't really live there, but travelled back and forth to open their stores and restaurants. The pathway was mostly following a river, which ended up in a big waterfall, but continued as a river to Tsumago-juku. It was really nice to walk over and passed, bricks, stones, old houses and the flower-trees. There were also thee houses on the way, where you could stop for a cup of thee (give a tip of around 100 yen). Hearing the water floating, walking past the waterfalls, taking pictures of the small waterfalls, seeing the sakura (Japanese Cherry Blossums), going to the toilet and embracing the luxury of being able to enjoy nature in such a modern yet authentic atmosphere. I love Japan... Luckily the weather was excellent. No cars, motorcycles, I guess the country side of Japan, did make me feel like home and brought me back to my jungle roots. And made me realize I really am a jungle woman, but a city girl at the same time too.
I really enjoyed it.
Arriving at Tsumago-juku there were a lot of traditional shops, where you could buy traditional cutlery, plates, glasses all made from wood.
Everything was traditional. For diner we ate a traditional Japanese meal; consisting of homemade noodles and rice on a stick. The noodles you dip in cold soy sauce, which is mixed with some green onions and wasabi, and slurp them. I don't slurp, but Japanese people do J
And the rice stick, is about the best traditional food item I ate in Japan. Man it was good. The stick was sticky rice dipped in a nut-sauce; made from hazelnuts and sesame, and then grilled. I could have eaten five more of those things and still love it.
I love food. I ate everything Japan sold me, and loved everything I ate.
What I found economically not stimulating for the villages is that the shops close around 17.00 when the last bus goes. I would walk back, if I had to if the place was still going on.
Day two in Gifu
We decided to go to a monkey park, where we could see monkeys walking freely and we could touch them. We ended up in a monkey park; with I think 10 monkeys, though I liked the blond monkeys. They were so cute! But the park was more a children's playhouse than a monkey park. Seriously! I might sound to direct but I didn't really like the place. I think Phil and I were the only two people without children walking around. We stayed in the park for about 2 -3 hours and took off. So, monkey park in Gifu is a MUST NOT DO!
After our failed attempt back to natures gift we went to a barbecue of his friends. Seriously everyone was drunk. Seeing Japanese people being drunk was a cultural shock to me. Even the women were drunk.
Asahi, is Japan's most famous beer. And … is Japanese women most famous cocktail.
I drank a little bit of both. Too bad Phil had to drive so he couldn't drink. I am still impressed how much Japanese people liked me. There was a group of people hanging around me. I don't know if it was my hair or me being foreign which attracted them, but they were so nice. Ayumi, spook three words of English, yeah, good and beautiful. But still I understood everything she said to me.
I love Japan! I have no words to explain how much I loved being there and meeting the people.
Day three in Gifu
My last day in Gifu, Phil and I spent in Gujo, another traditional town in Japan. The big difference between Gujo and both Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku Is that the people in Gujo still live traditional. The houses in Gujo are still inhibited, the shops are open everyday, people go to school in Gujo, pray and eat in Gujo.
The founder of fake food is originally from Gujo, where he first established a fake food fabric. In Japan about every restaurant presents there dishes with fake food in the shop window. Before fake food, restaurants used to present real food, which ofcourse doesn't stay good for a long time. So starting a fake food fabric was a quite a good discovery.
Gujo is really a beautiful town. Phil and I walked through the town, found a garden where you could sit and relax a bit, got lost and ended up at a waterfall and went to the famous Gujo Hachiman Castle, which is on a cliff and gives you an overview of the whole town. Gujo has a lot of temples and shrines, narrow streets for cars to drive in and no side walk. There was a watermill, which produced clean water you could drink. There were clean glasses you could use and a faucet you could tab water from.
I tried to explain my time in Gifu as elaborateas possible. But actually there are words too little and too less to explain how I feel and think about Gifu. I loved the place, I loved walking around, I loved the quietness and soulfulness of the town. Maybe the weather made the atmosphere even better, but Gifu is just a place you would have to see for yourself. I know you would love it.

Most administrators know that good Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD) site topology design is almost as important as good domain design. A well-thought-out site topology minimizes AD-related network traffic, ensures that users authenticate through a nearby domain controller (DC), and makes the time needed to replicate an object across the enterprise more predictable.
AD sites also serve another important, if not as well known or straightforward, role: They influence client DC failover, which is the process that a client follows to connect to another DC when the client's current DC fails. A well-thought-out AD site topology consists of the ability to pick any location on the network, mark a DC as being unavailable, and have clients in that site reliably choose the next best available DC.
Why is designing for DC failover so important? A client's DC selection is a major factor in the user's logon time and perceived response time. For example, most companies run logon scripts, and the distance across the network between the authenticating DC and the client greatly influences the logon script's execution speed. Also, consider that both Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and its clients are heavy users of the AD Global Catalog (GC). As a result, if you make a poor choice when selecting the DC that hosts the GC, your selection will have a noticeable effect on the client's email response time.
Before you begin to design for DC failover, you need to understand how a client selects its DC, known as the DC locator process. When you model DC failover (i.e., pretend the preferred DCs aren't available), you step through the DC locator process to determine what alternate DCs the client will choose. Ideally, when a Windows client can't contact a local (i.e., onsite) DC, it would use site link costs in the AD site topology to determine the next closest site and attempt to contact a DC there. If DCs in that site weren't available, the client would look to the next closest site and try again, looping until it found a DC. Unfortunately, the DC locator process hasn't reached that state yet. In Windows Server 2003 and Win2K, the client requests a list of DCs in its site and domain. If these DCs aren't available, the client requests a list of all DCs in its domain. For information about the Windows 2003 and Win2K DC locator process, see "Win2K Professional Domain-Controller Selection," http://www.winnetmag.com, InstantDoc ID 9180 and "Authentication Topology," March 2003, InstantDoc ID 37935.
Influencing the DC List
Among other records, DCs register site and domain SRV records in DNS. When a client goes through the process of locating a DC, it receives from DNS a list of DCs that the client should attempt to contact. To properly design DC failover, you need to be able to influence the order of the DCs on the list that the client receives from DNS. By influencing this list, you're telling the client what DC to select if the contacted DC isn't available. In almost all cases, DNS orders the list first by DCs in the client's local site and second by all DCs in the client's domain. To retrieve the list order information from a client, enter one of the following commands
nslookup -querytype=srv _ ldap._tcp.sitename._sites.dc._msdcs .domain.name nslookup -querytype=srv _ldap._ tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.name
where sitename is the name of the client's site and domain.name is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the client's domain. These commands emulate what kind of a DC list DNS will return to a client in domain domain.name and site sitename. The first command returns a list of DCs that are available in both the client's domain and site, and the second command returns a list of DCs in the entire domain.
Figure 1 shows a common hub and spoke configuration, where Hub is a company's main location (and WAN circuit center) and Spoke1, Spoke2, and Spoke3 are smaller remote locations. All locations share one domain. As a larger site, Hub contains several DCs; the smaller spokes each have only one or two DCs. Figure 1 also shows the DC list for Client1.
Understanding DC Failover
If a site has two or more DCs, you generally don't have to worry about failover because a client will always choose a DC in its site, as long as one is available.
However, under certain circumstances, two or more DCs in a site can become unavailable while the clients are still functional (e.g., a blown data center circuit breaker or failed air conditioning). Because these situations are unlikely, designing for this type of failover isn't cost-effective.
So what happens in a typical site topology when DC failover occurs? If SPOKE1-DC1 is unavailable, the client attempts to query the next DC in the DC list. Remember that the list consists of sitewide DCs and domainwide DCs. Because the Spoke1 site contains only one DC and because that DC fails to respond to the client's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over UDP pings, the client begins querying the domainwide DCs on the list. The remaining DCs on the list appear in random order, so the next DC that the client queries could be anywhere in the domain. The client will work through this list until a DC responds to its queries.
Querying the domainwide DCs on the list decreases the chance that the client will get the best possible DC because no DC is favored over any other, regardless of how close a particular DC might be to the client. The Windows 2003 and Win2K DC query interval—the interval between queries that the client waits before moving to the next DC on the list—compounds the difficulty of the situation. In Windows NT 4.0, the OS sent these queries immediately with no pause between them, which meant that the fastest-responding DC (presumably the closest) would win the session setup with the client. In Win2K, the client waits 100 milliseconds (ms) between DC queries. In Windows 2003, the client waits 400ms between queries for the first five DCs, then 200ms between the next five, then 100ms between the remaining DCs. In either Windows 2003 or Win2K, this interval lets the client easily pick an inappropriate DC.
Let's use Figure 2 to show how this behavior will influence DC selection. Assume the network latency between the client and the DCs in Spoke 3 is 150ms. The DCs in the closer Hub site are only 75ms away from the client. Because SPOKE3-DC2 is at the top of the DC list, the client pings it first. In a Win2K network, SPOKE3-DC2 can't respond within the 100ms interval, so the client moves to the next DC on the list and pings HUB-DC2, a more appropriate choice. Before HUB-DC2 can respond, however, SPOKE3-DC2's response, which has a 100ms head start, returns to the client and the client establishes a session with that DC. In a Windows 2003 network, SPOKE3-DC2 has plenty of time to respond before the 400ms interval has expired and the client attempts to contact the next DC in the list. In either configuration, if your client can't find a DC in its own site and you don't manually influence the domainwide DC list, you might not get the most appropriate DC.
Providing DC Failover Capability
A common misconception is that automatic site coverage (AutoSiteCoverage), which is an integral part of the Windows 2003 and Win2K directory service, will provide failover coverage if no DCs are available in the client's site. When you use AutoSiteCoverage, DCs in the site nearest to the client's site can automatically register themselves into the DC-less site. However, these DCs provide coverage only if no DCs are registered in the client's site. Because AutoSiteCoverage doesn't work if a DC exists in the client's site but isn't responding, AutoSiteCoverage doesn't help with DC failover. You can, however, manually force a DC to register itself to provide DC or GC services for another site. To do so, you must add the site names (separated by spaces) to the SiteCoverage registry value of type REG_DWORD to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters registry subkey and perform some additional steps that I'll describe later to make the registration work correctly.
You can use any of three major techniques to provide DC failover capability for your network. Depending on your needs, you can use these techniques individually or in combination.
Method 1: Selective SRV registration. As I mentioned previously, controlling the contents of the DC list controls the client's DC failover behavior. In our example, the domainwide section of the DC list contains DCs from the distant Spoke2 and Spoke3 sites as well as the closer Hub site. What if you could prevent DNS from adding the Spoke2 and Spoke3 DCs but still add the Hub DCs to the DC list? You can, by using a technique to prevent the spoke-site DCs from registering their domainwide SRV records. In other words, if the spoke sites don't register their domainwide SRV records (e.g., _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.name), DNS will exclude them from the domainwide section of the DC list. As a result, the domainwide section will contain only the Hub-site DCs, as Figure 3, page 76, shows. However, this technique doesn't prevent the spoke-site DCs from registering site-specific SRV records. Because the spoke-site DCs register their site-specific SRV records, when a spoke-site client requests a DC list, the spoke-site DCs appear in the sitewide DC section of the list.
For details regarding how to prevent DCs from registering certain SRV records in DNS, see the Microsoft Active Directory Branch Office Guide Series: Planning Guide, Chapter 2, "Structural Planning for Branch Office Environments" (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/ad/windows2000/deploy/adguide/default.asp).
Method 2: DNS priority. Another way to ensure that spoke sites fail back to the hub rather than to other spokes is to manipulate the DNS priority of a DC's SRV record. A component of the SRV record, the priority is an arbitrary number, and a lower number equates to a higher priority. By default, a DC's DNS priority is zero. All other factors being equal, DCs with a lower priority number will appear higher on the DC list than DCs with a higher priority number. As a result, you can use an SRV record's priority field to influence the DC list.
Figure 4 shows our hub-and-spoke example with SRV priorities added. The Hub site DCs have a high priority of 10, while the Spoke1, Spoke2, and Spoke3 sites have a lower priority of 20. Because these priorities influence the DC list, the high-priority Hub site DCs always appear ahead of the low-priority Spoke2 and Spoke3 site DCs. Although the DC in the client's site (Spoke1) is also a low priority, the Spoke1 DC appears ahead of the high-priority Hub DCs in the DC list because the DCs in a client's site always appear before all other DCs in the list. To control the priority field of a DC's SRV record, you must add the LdapSrvPriority registry value of type REG_DWORD to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters registry subkey. Note that all DCs in a site should have the same priority to ensure that they receive the same treatment in the DC list.
Method 3: Sister-site forced coverage. The sister-site method, which you can combine with the previous two methods, lets you create a two-stage DC failover for more complex topologies. For example, as Figure 5 shows, the Spoke1 and Spoke3 sites are physically close to each other and connected by a high-bandwidth WAN circuit. A low-bandwidth circuit connects the Hub site to the Spoke3 site. (For simplicity's sake, I've left the Spoke2 site out of the example, but I've left its DC in the DC list.) This topology is common for US companies operating in the Asia Pacific region, where two nearby locations will connect to each other over a high-bandwidth circuit but connect to North America over a relatively low-bandwidth circuit.
In this situation, failover needs to occur to a nearby sister site first and occur to a hub site in the United States only if the sister site is unavailable. To design this type of failover, use the SiteCoverage registry key to assign a DC to be part of a site. Before you begin, you must determine how you'll prevent clients from choosing the covering DC (which is at a different location and presumably slower to respond) as often as they choose the local DCs—from the client's point of view, both DCs are in the client's site and are therefore equally desirable. The answer is to use DNS priority to make the sister site's DCs slightly less desirable than the local DC by setting the DNS priority of Spoke1 to 15 and setting the DNS priority of sister site Spoke3 to 20. This configuration ensures the local DC will always appear first in the onsite DC section of the DC list.
Let's walk through a DC failover scenario to test the configuration. When all DCs are available, Client1 will always choose SPOKE1-DC1 because it's on site and has the highest priority. If SPOKE1-DC1 isn't available, Client1 will next choose either SPOKE3-DC1 or SPOKE3-DC2 because the client views them as being on site; their lower priority doesn't matter because the higher-priority SPOKE1-DC1 is unavailable. If both SPOKE1-DC and the Spoke3 DCs are unavailable, Client1 will choose one of the Hub site DCs because they have the lowest priority of the domainwide DCs available. If both Spoke1 and Spoke3 are unavailable, I think Client1 will have bigger problems to worry about.
This sister site method provides a robust and multilayered DC failover capability for many kinds of site topologies. The downside to this design, however, is that it's complex to configure, complicated to maintain, and difficult to explain.
Addressing Other Considerations
In addition to the methods I've described previously, you need to consider other factors that can influence DC selection when you're designing DC failover. The AutoSiteCoverage and GcSiteCoverage registry entries and the DNS weight of a DC's SRV record can all affect DC selection performance.
AutoSiteCoverage. If you create DC-less sites to support various site-aware applications such as DFS, you can consider disabling the AutoSiteCoverage registry entry of type REG_DWORD by setting it to 0 for your other spoke DCs. (This entry is located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters registry subkey.) This recommendation is based on the premise that authenticating from a spoke to the hub is almost always better than authenticating from one spoke to another spoke (the exception being a sister-site scenario). If you disable the AutoSiteCoverage setting in the spokes only, the hub's AutoSiteCoverage will cover the DC-less spoke and prevent another spoke from trying to cover it. If you've configured a sister-site network topology, also disable AutoSiteCoverage on the hub's DCs and manually configure site coverage where necessary.
GcSiteCoverage. Just as you can use the AutoSiteCoverage registry key to force a DC to cover a site, you can set the GcSiteCoverage registry entry of type REG_DWORD to 1 to ensure that clients fail over to the appropriate GC server. This entry is located under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters registry subkey.
DNS weight. Another field in a DC's SRV record that you can use to influence DC selection is the DNS weight. Weighting helps to order the DNS priority list within a given priority; a higher DNS weighted number means that the DC will be higher on the list than other DCs that have the same priority but have a lower DNS weight. The DNS weight default value is 100. For example, if HUB-DC2 was significantly more powerful than HUB-DC1 and HUB-DC3, you might give HUB-DC2 a weight of 150 so that it would always appear at the top of the Hub DCs in the list. Be aware that unless you have widely varying types of hardware for your DCs, DNS weighting adds yet another layer of manual administration to an already complicated site topology with little benefit. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Taking Control of Your DCs
A basic AD site topology provides many benefits, but a consistent and predictable client choice of an alternate DC isn't one of them. Until the Windows server OS has a DC locator process that uses site costing to help with DC selection, you'll have to establish the DC failover order yourself. Once you understand how to use the techniques in this article to influence the list of DCs, you can be sure your users will continue to have the best available service during any DC outages.

The Big Agnes Big House 4 Deluxe Tent is a spacious tent for a family of four. Pack up the kids and spouse and throw the briefcase-style carrying bag into the trunk of the car. You'll probably need a cooler and a few other items too, but once you arrive at camp, this'll create 60 square feet of flooring with a head height of 68 inches for everyone to sleep and hang out inside. You know, just in case it rains, you gotta have a place to play cards. The welcome mat reminds your younger kids to kick their shoes off before they enter and the interior mesh pockets keeps all their toys off the tent floor. Stepping or crawling on phones and action figures is never a good time.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

What you need to know if you need a hearing aid
(This is the second of two columns on hearing aids.)
About one in three Americans over 60 suffers from loss of hearing, which can range from the inability to hear certain voices to deafness. However, only about one out of five people who would benefit from a hearing aid uses one.
Hearing aids have a microphone, amplifier, and speaker. Sound is received by the microphone, which converts the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier boosts the signals and then sends them to the ear through a speaker.
It's important to understand that a hearing aid will not restore your normal hearing. With practice, however, a hearing aid will increase your awareness of sounds and what made them.
The two primary types of electronics used in hearing aids are analog and digital.
Analog aids convert sound waves into electrical signals, which are amplified. Analog programmable hearing aids have more than one setting; the user can change the aid for listening in different environments.
Digital aids convert sound waves into numerical code before amplifying them. Because the code also includes information about a sound's pitch or loudness, the aid can be specially programmed to amplify some frequencies more than others.
These aids also can be programmed to focus on sounds coming from a specific direction.
Hearing aids vary in price according to style, electronic features, and local market conditions. Price can range from hundreds of dollars to more than $2,500 for a programmable, digital hearing aid.
There are many kinds of hearing aids.
Behind-the-ear hearing aids are made of a plastic case with electronic components worn behind the ear and connected to a plastic ear mold that fits inside the outer ear.
There are also open-fit behind-the-ear hearing aids. Small, open-fit aids fit behind the ear completely with only a narrow tube inserted into the ear canal, enabling the canal to remain open. Some prefer the open-fit hearing aid because their voices do not sound "plugged up."
In-the-ear hearing aids fit completely inside the outer ear. Some of these aids may have a small magnetic coil that allows users to receive sound through the circuitry of the hearing aid instead of a microphone. This feature helps with phone conversations.
Canal hearing aids fit into the ear canal and are available in two styles. The in-the-canal hearing aid is made to fit the size and shape of a person's ear canal. A completely-in-canal hearing aid is nearly hidden.
A middle ear implant is a small device attached to one of the bones of the middle ear. Rather than amplifying the sound traveling to the eardrum, a middle ear implant moves these bones. Both techniques improve sound vibrations entering the inner ear.
A bone-anchored hearing aid is a small device that attaches to the bone behind the ear. The device transmits sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through the skull, bypassing the middle ear.
The following are some important questions you should ask when getting a hearing aid:
• What features would be most useful to me?
• Is there a trial period to test the hearing aids?
• How long is the warranty? What does it cover?
• How long should I wear my hearing aid while adjusting to it?
• Please check to see if my hearing aid works with my cell phone.

Upcoming events
EU Foreign Ministers discuss topical foreign policy issues
On 7-8 September, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevičius participated in an informal meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Ministers (Gymnich) in Tallinn, the capital city of the Estonian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
On 7 September, the EU Foreign Ministers' meeting condemned nuclear tests by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the escalation of the situation, and discussed further EU steps, when considering the possibility of both additional sanctions and diplomatic measures.
Minister Linkevičius spoke in favour of the strengthening of sanctions against North Korea and their effective implementation along with a critical dialogue aimed at seeking a diplomatic rather than military solution to the crisis. Foreign Ministers also highlighted the importance of their unity and cooperation with regional and international partners, particularly with regard to the interests of Japan and South Korea.
As regards the Middle East Peace Process, the Ministers agreed that the EU's position on the two-state solution remained unchanged, but the EU had to play a more active role in the search for restarting the stalled process. When remembering his visit to Israel that week, Lithuania's Minister Linkevičius warned that paying more attention to the peace process was difficult for Israel due to the complexity of the security situation and that Israel believed that the greatest threat was posed by Iran. Lithuania's Foreign Minister stressed the need to immediately set the date for the EU-Israel Association Council.

The thesis attempts to account for the social and political conditions which precipitated the military coup d'etat in 1967 in Greece. Part I focuses on the Hellenic Armed Forces as a power centre in the Greek political system erected on the ruins of the civil war (1946 - 1949 ). The roots of the Army's political role are traced back to the circumstances which gave rise to the civil war and the country's dependence on foreign powers. The nature of the Greek military's dependence on foreign powers is also brought into perspective. A p.rticu1ar chapter is devoted to the discussion of the sources of the Army's economic and social power as well as describing the socio-political and professional portrait of the Greek officer cotps and their politics. Part II deals with the complex relationships between the principal state institutions, the Monarchy, Parliament and the Armed Forces. Their individual strengths and weaknesses, and conflicts between them, are analysed in conjunction with the various pressures and influences exerted upon them from within and without. Part 111 studies the impact of a certain model of capitalist development on the socio-political changes which occurred in Greece in the post civil-war era (1950-1967). The form of state and the resultant political divisions, and their r1ationshi p to the social and political movements of the period are also examined in some detail. The conditions of the regime's stability and change are linked to the country's 'political institutions by applying the concepts of political mobilisation, political participation, political integration and institutionalisation.Part IV emines the crisis of the post civil-war state in Greece and attempts to cast light on the important political changes in the period 1963-1967 and on the relationship of a deepening and all embracing political crisis to the actual staging of the military coup d'tat of 1967. A necessary chronological account of events is combined with an examination of actual political practices, policies, conduct and tactics applied by the main protagonistic political forces. Finally, a concluding chapter focuses specifically on various theoretical approaches and interpretations of the role of the Hellenic Armed Forces in Greek politics over the period concerned and their ultimate intervention. The substantive conclusions of the thesis are placed into the context of a theoretical discussion which attempts to account for the post-war rise of military and authoritatian regimes in peripheral and semiperipheral capitalist societies
