I mentioned it to a friend at knitting that night and we had the usual everyone needs a break now and then and you're being too hard on yourself and don't worry it will all work out conversation until I said me not sewing is like the Yarn Harlot not knitting. She said OH, oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, well then, that's not good.
The great thing about thoughts like that is that you can do something about them. I decided to pressure down and sew something simple and doable. Pajama pants. Cut, sew, and in about an hour you're done. This is good. I used a rayon blend knit that I bought in Calgary about this time last year when I was there painting my daughter's house. It has a beautful hand and drape and...
... is - unfortunately - a fabulous colour printed over a white background. When the seams are pressed, they show white. The same thing happened with the purple version. And with the black and white version only with the black and white, it hides better. I will make a wear out in public t-shirt with the white and a....
... wearable muslin of Marcy's Vogue 9057 with the rest of the pink to test the pattern. It'll be the pajama top. I'll have matchy-matchy pajamas. SO not normal for me. I think there's enough and if not, I'll piece it... perhaps in an asymmetrical design since that's what I'm exploring.
I did three not so exciting sketches yesterday but they are sketches on paper and this is a beginning. Right now, I'd rather play with fabric. And buy fabric. Which is what often happens when I'm having a non-sewing stretch although I've never had one this long. I wonder - LOL - does that mean I need to buy LOTS of fabric?
I rarely buy fabric on-line but when I do, one of my favourite places to start looking is in the Buy of the Week and End Cuts sections at MarcyTilton.com. This light-weight sweater knit has a black background and dime sized ivory dots. I'm glad the size was noted because they looked HUGE to me at first. Dime sized is okay as is uber soft, lovely drape with a 4 way stretch and good recovery and minimal rolling at the cut edge.
Under the link Beautiful Basics was this Black Out Knit. I want to sew several black t-shirts for my summer travel wardrobe. This yardage was wider and less expensive that the black knit we have locally and had a magic word in the description - anti-pill. I just hate when I invest time, money, and energy into a garment and the first time I wear it, there are little balls forming under my armpits or necklace. AND THEN...
... some imperial purple Parisian micro fibre knit, which sounds terribly impressive. The description sold me again - Back in stock. One of our most popular basic knits is now available in colors and prints. This a rich jewel toned royal purple. Fluid and beautiful, this is an appealing 'liquid' knit that will be easy to sew and wear....great for travel and wardrobe building. Back in stock means it sells. One of our most popular basic knits means people come back for more. That equals a good fabric in my mind and great for travel and wardrobe building is exactly what I was thinking. A basic. I'll look for more of this at Sew Expo. I wanted to see the other colours in person.
This afternoon, I'm at a friends's knitting. This morning, after journal writing, I need to clean house, grocery shop, and baby proof. My daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are arriving tomorrow and I'm looking forward to some snuggles. In-between, I'll start on the wearable muslin pajama top.
Talk soon - Myrna

It took me a while to figure out what I was going to wear to this party today but I finally did. The shirt was from h&m, the tank was from Cotton On, the belt is from Target, the shorts are from J. Crew and the watch is my trusty MK 5606. I didn't wear any shoes to the party! ;) The outfit was pretty slouchy and simple and perfect just for hanging out. Happy Memorial Day!

After spending a day trying to talk their way out of a controversy, the Rangers found it far more effective to play their way out of it.
Coach Bryan Trottier had been desperately trying to explain away a rift with center Eric Lindros, going so far as to suggest that he was doing Lindros a favor by benching him on Sunday. But nothing quite washed away the spat like a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers last night at Madison Square Garden.
The crowd booed Lindros lightly during introductions and finished the night raucously celebrating a rare offensive outburst by the Rangers.
''Offense can cure a lot of ills, a lot of ailments,'' said Mark Messier, who had an assist and a goal, his seventh goal of the season, matching last season's total. ''One of the things we never really anticipated was having a problem with our offense.''
A quick two-goal lead pushed that problem to the background, and the victory turned the Lindros situation into a footnote, at least for a night. All of it was a welcome break after three straight losses.Continue reading the main story
After the victory, the Rangers were 5-8-2-0, but dominating Edmonton reinforced their notion that they had been playing better than recent scores indicated. And it relieved a lot of pressure on Lindros and Trottier, whose differences resulted in Lindros's extended benching Sunday against St. Louis and in Monday's much-publicized scrimmage, in which Trottier played on a line with Lindros in a let-bygones-be-bygones gesture.
By yesterday's skate, Trottier was saying he had benched Lindros in part to relieve the pressure building on his star. ''I never had any doubts about Eric,'' Trottier said. ''He's a great athlete and an important player on this team.''
But last night's on-ice turnaround had little to do with Lindros. It was crafted by the unlikely scoring line of Petr Nedved, Radek Dvorak and Ronald Petrovicky, who combined for two goals and four assists.
The Rangers were helped by a leaky performance in goal by Tommy Salo, who was pulled after two periods. In its first three shifts, Nedved's line gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead, on goals by Nedved and Dvorak. The first came on a nifty give-and-go by Petrovicky and Nedved 3 minutes 4 seconds into the game. Dvorak's goal came five minutes later, on a pass from Dale Purinton.
The players landed on a line together because Trottier has been scrambling them looking for an offensive spark.
Lindros's final line was: one assist (on Messier's power-play goal in the second period) and 20:28 of ice time, more than any other Rangers forward. He also took another third-period penalty, which was not quite so glaring thanks to the 5-2 score at the time.
''We went back to basics,'' Lindros said. ''We got the puck cycling out there. I felt good out there.''
Hidden in all that offense was a solid defensive effort. The key moments of the game may have come during a five-on-three power play by the Oilers midway through the first period. Trailing by 2-0, Edmonton drew a tripping penalty on Petrovicky and called for a measurement of Nedved's stick, which was ruled illegal.
The Oilers, though, could not convert despite six shots on Rangers goalie Mike Richter.
''That was important,'' Rangers forward Rem Murray said. ''They get right back in the game if they make it 2-1. That gave us a big lift going forward.''
The Oilers have not started the season well, falling to 3-5-3-1, and Salo had a nightmarish game. He gave up a breakaway goal to Mikael Samuelsson and a crushing goal to Murray with one second left in the second period.
''It looks like we got surprised in our end too much,'' Edmonton Coach Craig MacTavish said.
Five goals by the Rangers was a surprise all around.
Forwards DIXON WARD and TED DONATO played their first game since being called up from Hartford in place of defensemen JAMIE LUNDMARK and RICO FATA, who were sent down Monday. . . . Rangers defenseman TOM POTI, traded from Edmonton for MIKE YORK last season, played against his former team for the first time. He had two assists. York had one assist.Continue reading the main story

Life is truly wonderful. It's amazing to be alive and have endless opportunities to connect with others, fulfill our dreams and simply just have fun, but it doesn't always feel that way. We all get down in the dumps from time to time, and we all start running on autopilot when we have busy lives, never stopping to truly appreciate simply being alive.
If you're currently stressed out, in a funk or just not living as invigorating a life as you could be, here are some fun ways you can help yourself feel truly alive again:
Spend Some Time in the Seclusion of Nature
There is nothing better to help us appreciate the beauty of life than spending some quality time in the seclusion of nature. Go to an abandoned beach and watch the waves as they're blown about by the wind, hike the local trail where you can breathe in fresh air, watch the animals frolic and play or meditate by the river and you'll soon feel more alive and connected than ever.
Stick Your Head Out of the Sunroof
Next time you're a passenger in a moving vehicle, open the sunroof and stick your head out of the window. The simple rush that you get from feeling the wind in your hair is amazing. Sure, you might ruin your do, but you'll feel completely invigorated, and it won't cost you anything!
Embark on a Motorcycle Ride
There's something about riding a motorcycle out on the open road that just makes you happy to be alive. Like sticking your head out of the sunroof, you'll feel the wind in your hair, and the speed will invigorate you. Just make sure you know your motorcycle safety before you go out on the road. A little bit of danger can feel exhilarating, but you don't want to actually hurt yourself!
Crank Up the Stereo
If you're in a funk, instead of wallowing in self-pity, binge-watching the same old shows until you resemble a zombie, turn on the stereo, crank up your favorite tunes and start dancing. Music is one of man's greatest inventions. It can lift our spirits and make us feel truly happy to be alive. When combined with dance, it's benefits are magnified and the at of moving around, getting the heart rate pumping can make us feel totally euphoric.
Live in the Moment
Instead of worrying how you're going to pay those bills tomorrow or if you'll pass that exam next month, think about nothing more than the present moment. Focus on your breath, actually, stop and smell the roses or listen intently to everything your spouse says. Your fears and worries will melt away and being alive will feel so good.
I know, I know exercise seems to be wheeled out as a panacea for every (almost) every problem plaguing mankind, and although it isn't going to bring about world peace or help you pay the bills this month, the fact is that moving around more will get your endorphins pumping, giving you a natural high better than any drug.
Watch the Sun Rise or Set
There's something so ineffably inspiring about watching the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening. It makes you realizes how beautiful the world really is and how we, here on Earth are such a small part of it all. This might sound depressing, but actually it's quite the opposite. If we are so insignificant in the scheme of things, we shouldn't worry when we make mistakes or if we choose a different path in life. We'll all be gone in the course of time anyway.
Do Something That Scares You
We all have something that scares us. For some it could be spiders, for others the thought of jumping out of a plane is terrifying and for yet others, simply starting a conversation with someone they admire can be completely paralyzing, but here's the thing – feeling the fear and doing it anyway is a great way to make you feel alive. Your adrenaline will start pumping, and you'll want to run, but if you stay the course and face your fears, you'll emerge a new person with a bigger zest for life.
Sitting quietly concentrating on your breath or sending loving thoughts to the people around you might not seem like the most fun way to spend an hour, but meditation, when done sincerely and on a regular basis can be truly life changing and life affirming. You'll stop worrying so much about what people think and what will happen in the future, and you'll start to feel an unshakeable sense of inner peace which will make every moment that you're alive a blissful moment.
Do Random Acts of Kindness
Sometimes, when you're feeling blue, and life seems dull and meaningless, taking the time to do something nice for someone else, just to make them happy, especially if they are a stranger, is a great way to turn things around and remind yourself that life is essentially good.
Connect with a Stranger
Similarly, making an effort to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger and listening to their story can help you to see things from another perspective, which h can give you a renewed sense of appreciation for your own life. We all have a story to tell, and they are all worth listening to.
Swim in the Ocean
Jumping into the ocean or a cold lake can be enough to shock your system and bring you out of any funk you're in. It is a truly invigorating experience that will give you a natural high and boost your immune system.
Travel changes you. I'm talking about real travel, not just a couple of weeks spent on a beach somewhere, the kind of travel where you take only what you can carry in a backpack, the kind of travel where you visit every continent on the planet and sleep under the stars. Try it, and I can guarantee you'll never feel more alive.

Oneil Lang was 80 when he was fatally struck by a truck in late September 2014 in McGraw, New York. From what I've read online, he was apparently once a boxer. I wrote "apparently" because I'm a bit of a skeptic and believe our society doesn't work hard enough to vet character and claims.
Jerry Sandusky of Penn State could be "Exhibit A" for this societal shortcoming. Another potential disaster would be if Warren Buffet's investments weren't all he claimed and I only even mention this remote possiblity since I understand his holdings aren't subjected to intense audits. Obviously, I am using that example strictly for illustrative purposes. Mr. Buffet seems to be a brilliant investor and an even greater person and philanthropist and I certainly hope all is well with Berkshire Hallaway. (God help our economy otherwise!)
What if Oneil Lang lied about his boxing claims?
But back to Oneil. I'll start by stating upfront that it would probably be impossible to prove or disprove the boxing claim due to the passage of so much time. However, if he had any type of boxing background, wouldn't it seem plausible David Lang would possess at least rudimentary striking skills?
Regarding David's father, Oneil Lang, I look to the birds of a feather paradigm and openly wonder if perhaps he was a fraud in the boxing world the way his son is a fraud in the grappling world. (Although pre Internet I doubt any boxing fraud could have taken him to the heights of infamy that David Lang has achieved.) I also wonder if perhaps that's why he relocated to New York from Canada.
What kind of father was Oneil Lang?
I know Pat is fully aware of her son's infamy and it's hard to believe Oneil could have been blind to it. So why support a son who engages in outright fraud and isn't self supportive unless you condone his sickening behavior? The most important job for every parent is to ensure their kids are raised with a strong moral compass even if disabilities may prevent them from ever obtaining full self sufficiency. The opposite of this, I suppose, is what Patricia Lang and Oneil Lang have done with their son David. They have enabled him to put students' lives in danger, be a pretty terrible husband from accounts I've read of the first two marriages (I assume there will be more in his future) and, even worse, to become a terrible role model to the poor, innocent children he has fathered.
Given recent evidence (see screen grab below from the UG thread) that Pat Lang of Helping Hands Caring Heart may be using her charity to help her deadbeat son meet vulnerable women and get his hands on disability settlements coming their way, I also openly wonder if this activity started recently or has been going on for years unchecked. And, if Oneil Lang was the great man some want to believe, what did he know about this and what, if anything, did he do about it?
Has Pat Lang's enabling crossed the line?
I understand David met his last girlfriend Tiffanie French (I believe this link is for the same Tiffanie as the picture below) through Pat Lang's Helping Hands, Caring Hearts non profit in Cortland, NY.
David Lang, is it true that she got a settlement that YOU used to pay up enough child support as well as travel to Brazil so you could get your butt kicked in this video by a brown belt half your size? Please correct me if I'm wrong because this is what I've read on the UG thread you appear on from time to time.
And what is going on with Trish Queen?
And what about Trish Queen (who just changed her name to Tee Scutt after this blog was published)? Is there a pattern here of you meeting vulnerable single moms through your mom's Helping Hands Caring Hearts because of her enabling? Is Trish getting ready to receive a lump-sum pay out that should be used to take care of herself and her kid(s)? Trish, in all seriousness, you need to talk to Tiffanie before you even think about giving this fraud a single penny.
And if, or should I say when, it jives, you need to do yourself and potential future victims a huge favor and report this disgusting activity to every outlet you can.
Did David Lang commit perjury?
David, is it true you told a judge you were a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that you didn't travel to Brazil? If so, how do you explain the picture below as well as (screen saved for posterity lol) comments you made from known accounts on Youtube and UG about the match? I somehow don't think you'd have an easy time if you ended up in the slammer.
David Lang's latest farcical BJJ move
David, since I haven't been blogging regularly, I had some catching up to do. Please, please, please explain this picture.
It's a still shot from the video below where David, the BJJ fake black belt was completely dominated from beginning to end. I personally think this still is much better and representative.
I'm not even sure where to begin on the ridiculous picture you posted to your Facebook. The very low resolution? The fact you cut off Leandro Silva's head? The fact you're sweating like a pig and the whole match was less than 5 minutes? The idea that anyone would want to watermark a still photo from that video? And, lest we forget how this whole thing started, your very misguided decision to wear a black belt that you never earned.
You're absolutely pathetic David Lang. Don't you wonder what your kids will think about you when they get older? Don't you wonder why you continually lose "virtual" friends and the increased funny stares from members of your own community both inside and outside of your church? You don't even have a school anymore. Nor do you have any skills you should have spent the last several years acquiring so you could support your kids. The gravy train of vulnerable single moms is coming to an end and I hope this blog serves as a way to capture all that you have so foolishly chosen to do these past several years.

Alors il y aura une Amerique blanche, riche et saine, cad. de Droite et une Amerique pauvre, egaree, ruinee et bigarree, cad. de gauche. Ensuite, la partie pauvre demandera des visas a la partie riche afin de se refugier contre la misère qu'elle aura elle-meme creee ou bien empruntera des routes dites « de demandeurs d'asile ». La partie riche s'inventera alors une dette morale culpalisante et se fera retamer par les ressortissants de la partie pauvre qui se feront appeler « citoyens du monde », un monde evidemment limite pour le coup a la partie riche. Il me semble qu'on a deja vu cela quelque part, non? Je ne sais plus ou, mais c'est tout pret d'ici. Ensuite, il y aura une nouvelle guerre civile avec l'emergence d'une partie riche et d'une partie pauvre et ainsi de suite. On appelle peut-etre cela « l'histoire moderne ». Nul !
The United States of America are gradually dissolving into the same pattern as the Indian sub-continent on August, 15, 1947. New expert's predictions range from 5% to 90% for a new civil war.
In my last book published in March, I ominously concluded: Beyond the contested personality of the two candidates, the 2016 presidential election opposed two irreconcilable Americas. The old one, mostly white and conservative, does not want to die; and the new one, mostly colored and liberal, does not accept her defeat. All the ingredients for a new civil war are out there. (1)
The clash between armed factions in Charlottesville, Virginia, shows the chain of events that can trigger a second civil war.
Leftist intellectuals agree that conditions for a new civil war are out there
According to Foreign Policy (2), five conditions are gathered for a new civil war: entrenched national polarization, increasing divisive press coverage, weakened institutions, notably Congress and the Judiciary, abandonment of responsibility by political leadership, and the legitimization of violence to solve disputes. The New Yorker magazine acknoweldges this alarming situation. (3)
However, both sides reject the responsibility on the other camp
Mainstream media unabashedly said that a white nationalist rally was responsible for the riot in Charlottesville. Liberal journalists ordered that the President recognized that unilateral violence. Donald Trump played Pontius Pilate when he answered that both sides were responsible for the bloodshed.
As usual, mainstream media did not inform correctly the public; it did it partially and inaccurately.
After months of public debate, Charlottesville's City Council voted to rename Lee Park as Emancipation Park and Jackson Park as Justice Park on June 5, 2017. It is crucial to explain it for understanding the trigger of the violence.
The Daily Progress (4) said that the vote was preceded by the removal of two left-wing activists from the council chamber. The radical left did not accept a debate with the opposition. After Kessler and Heyden were repeatedly interrupted in the council meeting, police officers escorted the two left-wing agitators out of the room. Veronica Fitzhugh and Jeff Fogel were charged with violence against Jason Keller. Fogel was charged with simple assault and Fitzhugh with misdemeanor assault. Kessler accused Councilors Wes Bellamy and Kristin Szakos of colluding with anti-fascist activists.
Charlottesville vice-mayor Wess Bellamy is not Martin Luther King
He tweeted this rant on December 20, 2009: "I DON'T LIKE WHIT PEOPLE SO I HATE WHITE SNOW!!!!! FML!!!! (5)
In substance and in form, his tweet is deplorable. Regarding the form, the author only used capital letters, which is the equivalent of shouting. Secondly, he overindulged in exclamation points, which was detrimental to the message that he wanted to convey. He forgot the letter e at the end of the adjective white. On the facts, he made a comparison between a color skin and snow, and a tautology with white snow.
Nevertheless, Bellamy was elected to the Charlottesville City Council on November 3, 2015, where he received the most amount of votes of the three other supervisors. Despite his poor writing record, he received a doctoral degree from Virginia State University on August 11, 2017, on the eve of the riot. (6) What's a coincidence!
Whether Bellamy offended a race, which is dismissed by political correctness on the ground that racism and bigotry only concern white people; I am forced to take the defense of snow.
Is there anything cleaner, fresher, and purer than snow on earth? Nobody has forced Wess Bellamy to live near the snow-capped Shenandoah Range in winter season. If Bellamy hates snow, why does he not return to the continent of his ancestors? Of course, we advise him to avoid Tanzania, which hosts the snow-capped Kilimanjaro, and the reading of The Snows of Kilimanjaro by Ernest Hemingway. (6) Outside snow-capped Atlas Range in winter season, or glaciated Mounts Kenya and Kilimanjaro, Bellamy's snow phobia will quickly vanish in the heat of the African continent.
We will excuse the author for his use of FML acronym, which stands for "fuck my life." We understand that snow can be a phobia for people who have been swept by an avalanche. As a victim of such powerful force whilst skiing in French Alps on January 4, 1986, and remaining buried under twenty feet of snow for more than an hour and a half before a rescue team dug a tunnel to pull my legs, I am better placed than Bellamy to understand what snow phobia is. Survival rate declines quickly with time and snow layer. In my case, probability did not exceed 1% but science is vain to explain that divine miracle. However, my faith in the Lord is in turn an abomination for Freemasonry, which is reigning in France.
Make a clean break with the past is the trademark of the French Revolution
In the debate preceding the Council vote in Charlottesville, Kessler said, "You don't give a damn about white people. You are implementing policies, which are displacing us in our home country, and we will not be allowed to survive. You don't even recognize our right to exist."
Mason Pickett, a city resident, asked why the councilors have not condemned the left-wing activists for their confrontational tactics. He ominously said before the unrest, "This group's irresponsible and dangerous tactics will ultimately result in the serious injury or death of someone if it does not stop this pack-like behavior immediately." Pickett was alluding to Showing Up for Racial Justice, a group that has been responsible for initiating violence against the opposition.
Councilor Kathy Galvin said she had seen hate coming from both sides. She added, "If we do not listen to each other, we will devolve into some of the worst kind of violence that we've all seen before in human history."
The French Revolution morphed into the Terror when the Comité de Salut Public voted a law on September 17, 1793, that provided reward for denouncing people who were suspected enemies of the revolution. (7) Thousands of people were guillotined after a summary trial.
Karenne Wood, a descendant from the Monacan tribe, suggested that Lee Park was replaced by Monacan Park. Of the 2600 name suggestions that were submitted to the City Council in an online survey, 2200 were in favor of Lee or Jackson. But the radical left remained deaf to the public opinion, and Lee Park was replaced by Emancipation Park and Jackson Park by Justice Park on June 5, 2017. It behaved as if nothing had happened between 1861 and 1865, as if no blood had streamed into Antietam Creek on September 17, 1862.
The radical left is toppling statues, renaming parks, erasing history, and rejecting its responsibility in the escalating violence on the curse opposition. It is the same process as the French Revolution whilst mocking the elected president, and eradicating the past in order to build a new society. The white conservative and heterosexual male has not his place in that totalitarian world. He must fight for his life or flee the country.
The French Revolution was the matrix of genocides, which started with the infernal columns (8), led by the French revolutionary general Louis Marie Thureau, which exterminated the population in Vendée because of their allegiance to the Royalty and the Christianity. The French Revolution was the model of Lenin, which led to the genocide of twenty millions of people in Russia.
The American radical left is not modeled on the French Revolution in 1793 or the Russian Revolution in 1917 but on Saul Alinsky's tactics that were described in his manifesto Rules for Radicals. (9) Even though the means differ from the other shore of the pond, the escalating violence will lead to the same result with millions of Americans dying in the ensuing long march toward a safe haven zone.
Contrary to the first civil war, there will be no winner, no loser in the second one. I envision a dislocated North American subcontinent on the same pattern as the Indian one after its independence from the United Kingdom on August 15, 1947. The West Coast will form Californiastan (Pakistan), and the East Coast the Northglastan (Bangladesh), and the rest of the country the Christianstan squeezed between the two coastal countries.
In 1947, Muhammad Ali Jinna wanted a separate state for Muslim minorities disseminated in Pakistan and in Bengladesh, and Jawaharlal Nehru a state for the Buddhist majority. In 1971, the Eastern Pakistan seceded from the Western Pakistan after a massive disobedience movement.
In 2017, American radical left is not accepting the election of Donald Trump, and is leading a massive disobedience movement through sanctuary cities.
The parallel with the Indian empire's collapse is obvious to people who are familiar with world history.
The French philosopher Raymond Aron (1905-1983) said, The men are making their history, even if they do not know which one they are doing.

CCNA Routing and Switching
Orçamento $30-250 USD
I have a Lab that I need to finish as soon as possible and I don't have time to figure al the steps out on my own, otherwise definitely would. As it stands my lab had me design a network that interconnects 9 different sites in the "Cisco Packet Tracer" simulator. I already have all 9 routers and 9 switches with one server and 2 workstations per switch per site. I have assigned all interfaces with static IPv4 addresses, and connected all the switches and routers and workstations together, but I need a few more things:
• All routers, switches, server, and workstations must have an IPv6 address, this can be static or dynamic, and whichever you think is easier to do.
• While maintaining the router, switch, and two workstations assigned to each site in a subnet unique to the site for both IPv4 and IPv6, every switch, router, and workstations must be able to ping every other switch, router, and workstations in the network.
• VLANs need to be created and configured on all switches and routers (which VLAN's and how they are configured does not matter so long as all nodes can communicate with each other via IPv4 and IPv6.
• Switching & Trucking must be configured on all switches and routers.
• Routing & dynamic Routing must be configured on all switches and routers.
• Security Measures must be configured on all switches and routers, any and all security measures that you can think of past setting an enable/console/telnet passwords would be appreciated, but at least a few so long as they are applied to all switches and routers.
• Provide Security Measures the name of and purpose for all security measures implemented.
• Create enable/console/telnet passwords for all the switches and routers, a single password for each of enable/console/telnet can be used on all network devices.
• Create a full configuration script for all the switches in your company. Include instructions for loading and executing the script.
• Create a full configuration script for all the routers in your company. Include instructions for loading and executing the script.
My biggest constraint is time, I already have the Lab and all routers, switches, and workstations configured in the "Cisco Packet Tracer" simulator, I just need the 10 bullet point items above.
Please let me know how much you would charge, and by when could you have the 10 bullet point items above completed. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

To get the week started it's our distinct pleasure to introduce CloudFlare's latest PoP (point of presence) in Copenhagen, Denmark. Our Copenhagen data center extends the CloudFlare network to 65 PoPs across 34 countries, with 17 in Europe alone. The CloudFlare network, including all of the Internet applications and content of our users, is now delivered with a median latency of under 40ms throughout the entire continent—by comparison, it takes 300-400ms to blink one's eyes!
The week's not over
In December 2014 we announced our intention to launch one data center per week throughout 2015. It's an ambitious goal, but we're well on our way with over 35 new PoPs announced year-to-date. That leaves 17 to go, and we'd like to make a rather big dent this week. Interim goal: 70 PoPs by the end of the week. That means 5 new sites this week alone, more in a single week than we launched in our entire first year of operation.
What does this mean for you? It means that over the course of the week your web sites, mobile apps and APIs using CloudFlare are going to get quite a bit faster for hundreds of millions of Internet users (there is a hint there). Not yet a user? Consider signing up here.

Beyond extremism: towards a Modern Islamic theology?
- Details
- Category: Book Reviews
- Published: 10 February 2014
- Written by Micha Knuth
Nowadays, the perception of Islam in the Western world is often reduced to its most radical anti-modernist interpretations. But there is more to discover in an Islamic world whose plurality is unfortunately mostly underestimated in the media. Islam has more to offer than a conservative retreat from modernity. Radical thinking is not a privilege of traditionalistic mullahs but is also at the core of some of the most interesting research projects in the academic discourse on Islam. These radically modern interpretations of Islam are not without risks for the persons defending them. Their persisting determination merits a larger recognition of their work in the European discourse on Islam.
Introduction to a new Islam
Way before the Arab Spring revolutions and the outburst of liberal hopes in many Muslim dominated countries, Rachid Benzine devoted a work to these courageous commentators of the Islamic tradition. Presenting basically eight of these new thinkers, Benzine introduces us to a universe that is highly worth the discovery. Benzine who studied mainly under Mohammed Arkoun has published several works on Islam and the interpretation of its foundational texts. His book on the new thinkers of Islam has been translated into German but still awaits its translation into English.
After a general introduction to the relationship between Islam and modernity and the context of the emergence of these new thinkers of Islam, Benzine gives us a rich and concise survey of their principal ideas. Among these thinkers are personalities as different as Abdul Karim Soroush, Mohammed Arkoun, Fazlur Rahman, Armin al-Khûli, Muhammad Khalafallâh, Nasr Hamid Abû Zayd, Abdelmajid Charfi and Farid Esack. The reader is introduced to every author through some biographical elements which are followed by an exposition of the key-elements of their thinking. In about 30 pages, every chapter succeeds in laying down the global vision of the author in question by giving an insight into his principal works and approaches. Thus, Benzine's book gives the French public an access to their most important works which are often only available in English or in Arabic.
A reinterpretation of the Koranic message
What is the common denominator of the authors Benzine has chosen to introduce us to? Their shared goal is to revisit the traditional interpretations of the Koran in order to help Muslims all over the word to approach their religion's core without the usual ideological manipulations. Accordingly, the main message of their works can be found in their appeal to a modern anti-dogmatic interpretation of Islam's foundational text(s). This reappropriation of the religious tradition in the light of modernity goes hand in hand with the use of the most recent discoveries in the humanities.
But even though all these thinkers make use of the latest developments in historical and philosophical science as well as in linguistics, their main issue is to be identified with the creation of a modern theology of Islam. In order to achieve this goal, the Koran is reintegrated into its original context and freed from its posterior traditional interpretations. The discussed thinkers are all united in the search for an authentic understanding of the Koranic message in its earliest meaning, far from its consecutive ulterior deformations.
A concise, clear and instructive overview
Through his accessible style and clear phrasing, Benzine familiarizes us with this new way of thinking. Quite often he takes the reader by the hand by raising questions at critical junctures of the systematic presentation of each thinker which are immediately answered by the subsequent explanations. In doing so, Benzine puts forward the systematic coherence of each of the authors in question. This has the merit of making a clear case for their arguments. In addition to a clear presentation of the arguments raised by each author, Benzine directs the reader's attention towards the intellectual filiations between some of these thinkers which makes it easier to appreciate similarities and differences in these new approaches to the Islamic tradition.
Even though the book is highly enjoyable and informative, some critical points cannot be excluded from this appreciation of Benzine's work. The first concerns a formal decision of the author and/or the editor: the footnotes just indicate the source of quotations without mentioning the corresponding pages. This deplorable omission makes it difficult for the reader to trace back the quotations to the original text which would facilitate further reading.
Moreover, the book limits itself to a purely positive presentation of the eight modern Islamic thinkers. But at least at times it would have been desirable to integrate some critical thoughts about the limits of these forms of modern Islamic thinking and the aporia these approaches might have to face. Accordingly the book might have benefitted from mentioning some of the critics these modern interpretations of Islam have had to face from fellow scholars without making it too academic for the general public.
As none of the thinkers presented pledges for a literal interpretation of the Koran, it would have been nice as well to allude to their position in the larger Islamic discourse on theology and the interpretation of its foundational texts. This is done by alluding to the Mutazilites and the roots of modern reformism in Islam, but there is no integration of the ideas exposed into the currently predominant interpretations of Islam. Especially the division between Sunnites and Shiites that ever gains in importance nowadays might have been addressed in more detail by Benzine. To place the new Islamic thinking within the larger context of more traditional Islamic movements might have allowed a discussion of the possible integration of these mostly academic considerations into the everyday practice of Muslims as well.
Nevertheless, Benzine's work remains a highly instructive and accessible introduction to modern interpretations of Islam. With its rich bibliography it invites Muslims and those who are interested in Islam to gain a new perspective on the religion of the Prophet and incites to further research in the field. Reading Benzine's book, one is reassured: surely some branches of Islam still have a long way to go in order to succeed in integrating new knowledge into their religious interpretations of their foundational texts. But there are Muslims who are going down this road and their courage merits a larger recognition and promotion from the countries that flatter themselves with being the bearers of the project of Enlightenment.

Modeling the Interactions between Volatility and Returns (working paper)
Andrew Harvey and Rutger-Jan Lange
Volatility of a stock may incur a risk premium, leading to a positive correlation between volatility and returns. On the other hand the leverage effect, whereby negative returns increase volatility, acts in the opposite direction. We propose a reformulation and extension of the ARCH in Mean model, in which the logarithm of scale is driven by the score of the conditional distribution. This EGARCH-M model is shown to be theoretically tractable as well as practically useful. By employing a two component extension we are able to distinguish between the long and short run effects of returns on volatility. The EGARCH formulation allows more flexibility in the asymmetry of the response (leverage) and this enables us to find that the short-term response is, in some cases, close to being anti-asymmetric. The long and short run volatility components are shown to have very different effects on returns, with the long-run component yielding the risk premium. A model in which the returns have a skewed t distribution is shown to fit well to daily and weekly data on some of the major stock market indices.

Volatility modelling with a generalized t-distribution (working paper)
Andrew Harvey and Rutger-Jan Lange
Beta-t-EGARCH models in which the dynamics of the logarithm of scale are driven by the conditional score are known to exhibit attractive theoretical properties for the t-distribution and general error distribution (GED). The generalized-t includes both as special cases. We derive the information matrix for the generalized-t and show that, when parameterized with the inverse of the tail index, it remains positive de
nite as the tail index goes to infi
nity and the distribution becomes a GED. Hence it is possible to construct Lagrange multiplier tests of the null hypothesis of light tails against the alternative of fat tails. Analytic expressions may be obtained for the unconditional moments in the EGARCH model and the information matrix for the dynamic parameters obtained. The distribution may be extended by allowing for skewness and asymmetry in the shape parameters
and the asymptotic theory for the associated EGARCH models may be correspondingly extended. For positive variables, the GB2 distribution may be parameterized so that it goes to the generalised gamma in the limit as the tail index goes to in finity. Again dynamic volatility may be introduced and properties of the model obtained. Overall the approach offers a uni ed, flexible, robust and practical treatment of dynamic scale.
The importance of inertia and adaptability: a simple model in Planetary Economics, Taylor and Francis (2014)
Co-authored book chapter with Michael Grubb and Pablo Salas.
The chapter develops a simple model for the optimal path of carbon emissions over the next century. It contrasts two extreme cases: where the cost of reducing carbon emissions is purely "pay-as-you go" (i.e. no long-term effects), and where the cost is purely a transitional investment (i.e. only the transition to a greener energy system is costly). In both cases, we solve a variational problem to show the optimal path of carbon emissions over the next 100 years. We show that it makes economic sense to invest, in each time period, a multiple of contemporaneous climate change damages.
Distribution theory for Schrödinger's integral equation
Much of the literature on point interactions in quantum mechanics has focused on the differential form of Schr\"odinger's equation. This paper, in contrast, investigates the integral form of Schr\"odinger's equation. While both forms are known to be equivalent for smooth potentials, this is not true for distributional potentials. Here, we assume that the potential is given by a distribution defined on the space of discontinuous test functions. First, by using Schr\"odinger's integral equation, we confirm a seminal result by Kurasov, which was originally obtained in the context of Schr\"odinger's differential equation. This hints at a possible deeper connection between both forms of the equation. We also sketch a generalisation of Kurasov's result to hypersurfaces. Second, we derive a new closed-form solution to Schr\"odinger's integral equation with a delta prime potential. This potential has attracted considerable attention, including some controversy. Interestingly, the derived propagator satisfies boundary conditions that were previously derived using Schr\"odinger's differential equation. Third, we derive boundary conditions for `super-singular' potentials given by higher-order derivatives of the delta potential. These boundary conditions cannot be incorporated into the normal framework of self-adjoint extensions. We show that the boundary conditions depend on the energy of the solution, and that probability is conserved. This paper thereby confirms several seminal results and derives some new ones. In sum, it shows that Schr\"odinger's integral equation is viable tool for studying singular interactions in quantum mechanics.
Potential theory, path integrals and the Laplacian of the indicator (2012)
This paper postulates a distribution function as the potential in the heat/Schrodinger equation: the Laplacian of the indicator function of some domain in d dimensions. This distributional function can be viewed as a surface delta prime function. To see why this is the case, compare with the second derivative of the Heaviside step function in one dimension. The paper derives that the resulting solution satisfies Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, depending on the sign of the potential, thereby establishing for the first time a particularly close connection between these two classical boundary value problems. When we postulate in addition a surface delta function, we can also replicate the solution to the Robin boundary value problem. The paper thus establishes an explicit link between a new set of singular potentials and a set of classical boundary conditions.
This paper is a shortened (in length) and extended (in content) version of Part I of my PhD thesis and appeared in the Journal of High Energy Physics in November 2012. A working paper version of the paper can be found on this website (here), or on the ArXiv (here). The published paper can be found here.

Knights of Cydonia
The best muse song ever the greatest build up in a song ever, and it doesn't disappoint. The guitar riffs are some of the best Muse have ever written and it has the most epic feel to it ever. How the hell is hysteria above this?
Genius. An epic (an adjective I don't through around a lot) prog metal song that will take you to a place where there are cowboy-knights on Mars. The album version is fantastic by itself, but the song also has a cool music video and the Live Wembley version is, in my opinion, even better (Muse is one of the few bands that can outdo themselves live). Easily their best song. Uprising and Time is Running Out shouldn't be above this.
Knights of Cydonia might not be my favourite song by Muse because I don't really have one, but for me this is definitely the best. But this is more an objective comment than a subjective one, I already said that it's not my favourite, but you can't deny that it's simply epic. It has everything: a good intro, an epic end, a catchy guitar riff, a cool video..., and what about its amazing live performance? Knights of Cydonia is a masterpiece. Clearly the best song by Muse.
When you listen to this song you can imagine the haunting, howling journey of a knight on horseback, rushing into battle - something no other song can do, something no other band can do. This song is a journey in 6 minutes - never does it get boring, and best of all, whatever lyrics are in this song and however repetitive, it is absolutely splendid. Knights of Cydonia is Muse's best song without a doubt.
Between Matt's voice, the synth, the chorus, the solo after "SURVIVE, " and the drums (even better when live and best if at Wembley), I can't see how this isn't number one. Also, the music video is hilarious. But I would definitely say this is Muse's best song (despite it being overplayed with Guitar Hero) and Glorious is probably their most underrated song.
I just never get tired of this song. I can listen to it over and over again, and I enjoy it just as much every time. Awesome, creative riffs, unique lyrics and themes, and overall epicness make this song probably my favorite Muse song. Every time that distorted guitar riff comes in at the end, it just blows my mind.
Just Awesome. So much of it is brilliant to an extent that I do not believe the word song captures fully the quality of the music. Great tune, great lyrics, great guitar. A true masterpiece and quite comprehensively their best song thus far. First time I heard this was from the Wembley 2010 concert and it just blew me away.
I've never heard another song like it. Majestically produced and unbelievably creative. When you're listening to it, it feels like you're riding a horse, wearing glimmering armor, sword in hand and heading to the envy castle. Even if there aren't many words to the song, every part is amazing.
In my opinion this song is their best. It is crafted to perfection and the guitar rifts a superb. The main factor that made me love this song is the live version. The live version (H.A.A.R. P edition) is arguably better than the album version as the rock is put on a new level.
I swear, I'm on some sort of pan-galactic adventure every time I hear this song! The lyrics are awesome, and there are really sweet instrumental bits. I love listening to it. It will never get old, and is among one of the most-played songs on my itunes.
I love Muse, and I love this song!
Most Muse songs are written in a classical style, including different themes and movements (albeit usually in a short track of 4 or 5 minutes). This song exemplifies that style of songwriting. This is the "musiest" Muse song.
Come on why isn't this number 1? Yeah, "Time is running out" is awesome, like everything else muse makes. But Knights of cydonia is an iconic song that almost everyone know the riff of. One of the best songs in the history of music.. Just saying
This song is the greatest song ever. Its just as good live. If there were any songs better than this, they could only be by Muse. The single cover is also really awesome. It has a great bass part, with awesome drums and one of Muse's best guitar songs. If not the best.
The song represents my philosophy... you stand on your feet and no one can help you but you yourself... n the first 2 minutes of the song are simply amazing... it was also the 1st song I listened of muse... simply AMAZING! - rakeshmoony
Great song in all aspects. Amazing vocals, love the guitar, I absolutely adore the trumpets during the intro, and the break down all the way to the ending is so powerful. It is a song that you will always love and remember forever
Its perfectly crafted with a suspensful intro which drives right into the fast determined beat with the epic guitar melody and the high notes then back to the head banging intro and into a beautiful harmonic chorus that builds up into the final breakdown which is just an amazing climax. The song ends on a righteous note. The End.
I am not much of a muse fan. There are a couple pretty good songs from them but this one takes the cake. Great tempo, outstanding vocals, and pure imagination are what makes me think that this is there best song
First Muse song I ever heard. On Guitar Hero I, haha! Funnily enough, I can't really pick a favourite, but because this song gets me feeling good, nostalgic, epic, glorious, ashamed (because of GH) and invincible, I tend to choose this one. It's got a great riff, awesome vocals, it's complex and simple at the same time and the video is just so weird, I love it!
This Is honestly one of the best songs in history, despite its length and the fact that It lacks great lyrics, The fact that the small amount of words in the are so catchy, completely makes up for that! I Recently went to see Muse at The Ethiad stadium, and when they started playing this song, everyone went crazy!
There are many songs to choose as "the best", but I think this is the most powerful, awesome, and epic song Muse have EVER composed. Simply amazing. Legendary.
This is my favorite Muse song for me, because in my opinion this is the Iconic Muse song. And it's a fantastic way to end any Muse gig, and it fits perfectly with Man with a Harmonica.
This song is just insane, It was immense live at glastonbury 2010. look that up on YouTube. I can't resist to headbang after the first chorus because the change in sound is just so good.
Great Muse song with one of the BEST riffs and makes you really understand why muse owns, and every body likes them (At least they should like it! )
It's maybe not my favorite song by Muse but it is definitely one of their best and THE classic Muse song. I totally love this song, the story it tells and the little irony in it!
The best guitar riff ever. Thanks to this song, I discovered Muse. This is one of the most epic songs ever. Unbelievable that this song isn't on number 1.

New Construction
The new 43,000 square foot, two-story Campus Center will serve as the front door and welcoming beacon for the North County Campus. The open floor plan design creates a light, vibrant, flexible and interactive environment for the staff, students, and the community. The main interior stair leads the students to the second floor ESL and Classrooms, Computer Lab, Dean's offices, and Administrative office spaces. The lower floor houses the Cafeteria, Fine Arts Classroom, Public Safety Center, Assessment Center, Student Life & Leadership, Veterans Center, Health Center, and the Bookstore. The two story atrium in the middle of the open Computer Lab creates a striking central core element in the building. Incorporating student activity areas on both floors facilitates interaction and communication between the students and the staff. The combination of these program elements results in a dynamic and vibrant center for campus life. Construction on this structure is set to kick off in spring of 2016 with a completion date of fall 2017.

Loss of control. We may not be able to direct, guide or lead in the manner we are most comfortable with.
Uncertainty. We can't see the future.
Surprise, surprise! We may not be ready for something unexpected.
Everything seems different. Our environment changes
Loss of face. It feels like other people make the decision that we are at fault or we are not capable. We become embarrassed.
Concerns about competence. Can I do it?
More work. There are only 28 hours a week. Where do I find more time?
Ripple effects. Like tossing a pebble into a pond, change creates ripples, reaching distant spots in ever-widening circles.
Past resentments. We don't let past behaviors go.
Sometimes the threat is real. Change is resisted because it can hurt, it can sit the team backwards.
As leader work to relieve the discomfort for your team.

Illinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias is set to amend his state office's domestic partnership policy.
Giannoulias spokesman Scott Burnham said Saturday that the state treasurer and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate plans to sign an executive order at a news conference on Sunday in Chicago.
The executive order will recognize same-sex domestic partnerships as equivalent to marriages for treasurer's office employees. For example, the policy will allow gay and lesbian employees unpaid time off to care for a sick partner or for the birth or adoption of children.

Hey ya,
You are shit out of luck with all season tires :(
You cannot go on "snow" with those suckers. You need winter tires at least.
I should know. I lived in a city, and in the winters, you needed winter tires... (although I drove around in all seasons one winter, the car would get a mind of its own, often, and I was lucky not to have crashed).
And this was the city ...
- Kelly J. Compeau said...
I've been driving with all-season tires for 15 years, in foot deep snow. I only got stuck three times. If the roads you're going to be driving on are not plowed, you'll need four-wheel drive and snow tires to navigate through 2+ feet of snow. If they're plowed, then it's no big deal.
- Auburn Kat said...
I grew up in the snowbelt in New York. I've never owned a vehicle with four-wheel drive or have had snow tires. It's really about how you drive more than the tires in my opinion. Just take your time and you'll be fine! Just don't drive up the mountain if the roads are too bad.
- M-M-M-Mishy said...
Ottawa has lots of snow and I only have all seasons. No experience with mountain driving, but lots of experience with snooty french canadian women. Don't take it personally.

LMAO!!! So much for that French we took in jr hugh eh?
Is there a resort up there that possibly runs a shuttle up the mountain from town for people?

Are we morally accountable for what we dream about? I'm pondering whether we are.
I don't think there is specific mention of this in the Bible but I thought it would be good to ponder. I've had dreams where I've done some extremely gruesome things. I've also had dreams, one last night, where I shared the gospel with someone (the fact that I continued once they appeared to be an extension cord is unimportant).
I doubt a murder in a dream would be accounted as a real murder. But a murder you commit in a dream (dreaming that you yourself do it) is a thought of anger, which according to Matthew 5 makes you guilty of disobedience to the sixth commandment.
I bring this up because I have had an overwhelming feeling in dreams of being able to decide between doing something and not doing it. I've made decisions not to sin in dreams. If these were actual decisions then either I've found a place to enjoy sin or I've found another place to be cautious against sinning. My pondering: to the degree that I'm willing to sin in a dream is the degree to which I'm guilty of sinning in a dream; and the degree to which I willingly share the gospel in a dream is the degree to which I worship God by doing so.
Thoughts? Ideas? Other passages?
