ANNOUNCEMENT: Since my birthday in October 2013 and I have been settling into a quasi "retirement". I have not slowed down but rather I have partially changed direction. I have stopped distributing to dealers. However, I continue to handle a small quantity of good instruments which I make, design, refurbish, set-up or French Polish and sell directly to individual players. The other part of my time is now spent on video projects dealing with music topics. Ron Fernandez

"This is our 18th year for the festival, which is our biggest annual event," said Jen Hajj, festival coordinator for the San Diego Audubon Society (SDAS), which hosts the event at the conference center and marina at 1936 Quivira Way. "It's an opportunity for people from all over the world to come to San Diego and enjoy our magnificent wildlife and our unique habitats and the wonderful diversity of birds we have here."
Every year hundreds of birders worldwide migrate to the San Diego Bird Festival for four days of field trips, birding, exhibitions and speakers.
The San Diego Audubon Society's four-day birdfest is the equivalent of the Super Bowl in bird watching, said Hajj.
"Senior birders around the nation say there are three bird festivals that you need to go to, and this is one of them," she said.
San Diego, with its more than 500 bird species and its diverse array of habitats from ocean to wetlands to mountains and desert, makes San Diego the ideal place for a bird festival to nest.
"There's just a lot of magic here with all the different kinds of birds and so many habitats that makes it a very rich area for seeing birds," Hajj said.
She added the Audubon Society festival brings out the "really interesting people, our guides, special speakers, etc. We have a lot of events that are interesting for birders and non-birders alike."
On Friday, Feb. 28, the festival's banquet keynote speaker at the conference center and marina will be James Currie, host of "Nikon's Birding Adventures" on NBC Sports Network. A birding expert and an adventurer whose passion has taken him to explore remote cultures, Currie has been featured as a special guest and consultant in film, television, radio and print.
Kowa Optimed of Japan, internationally known for its binoculars and optical products, will host the San Diego Bird Festival Nibble and Nosh Mixer on Saturday, March 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. The mixer offers guests the opportunity to meet with birding travel specialists and Kowa representatives, who can then give them an additional chance to check out Kowa's line of sporting optics.
The 2014 bird festival's special guest is Denver Holt, founder and president of the Owl Research Institute. Holt has researched owls since 1978, publishing about 90 papers and technical documents, and has been featured in National Geographic magazine and on television. He will be leading two owling trips and present a luncheon talk at the convention center and marina.
An annual highlight of the birding extravaganza is a free family fun day sponsored by SDG&E. This will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 2.
Family fun day events include a visit from Holt, art activities, a story-time room for children, demonstrations by Hobie kayaks, a bird-calling workshop, live exhibition of birds, field trips to local birding areas, guided walks, games, workshops and a prize raffle.
On family fun day, bird enthusiasts can also enjoy the "Big Sit," with professional birders on hand to point out birds in the nearby San Diego Estuary and the Quivira Basin.
All of the family day events are free and no pre-registration is needed, though some field trips and workshops have limited availability on a first-come, first-served basis.
The mission of the San Diego Audubon Society is to foster the protection and appreciation of birds, other wildlife and their habitats through education and study, and advocates for a cleaner, healthier environment.
Originally founded in 1948, SDAS has served the region for more than 60 years. Its accomplishments include the establishment of two wildlife sanctuaries, which it owns and operates. This fiscal year, SDAS will host 25 habitat maintenance/restoration volunteer events, engaging several hundred volunteers in restoration efforts, and generate more than 3,000 hours of volunteer labor toward improving habitat for wildlife in San Diego County.

Movie Review: Les Miserables, heart-wrenching epic saga
By Troy Ribeiro/IANS
Sad stories sell like hot cakes and Les Miserables tugs at your heart strings. An adaptation from Victor Hugo's eponymous book, it is not a historical story, but a classic tale of humanity, love and loss set against the backdrop of a political uprising in France, the French Revolution.
Directed by Tom Hooper, who had earlier done The King's Speech, Les Miserables is a spectacular blockbuster. From the first to the last frame, the film enthralls you like a magnum opus.
It rolls out a non-linear narration. It is the story of a reformed man, Jean Valjean (Jackman) and a duty bound policeman, Javert (Crowe). In 1815, chained prisoners are treated like slaves. Valjean, imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loaf to save his sister's son, jumps parole.
Wandering in the wintery streets, Valjean is astonished and moved by the Christ-like charity of the Bishop (Colm Wilkinson), who takes him in, and forgives him for attempting to steal silverware of the Church, making him a present of it and protecting him from arrest. With, "Why did I allow this man to touch my soul and teach me love?" - Valjean is a changed man.
Seven years later, he becomes a mayor and a factory owner.
One fine day, he bumps into police officer, Javert, who recognises him as the prisoner. And with the belief, "Once a thief, always a thief", Javert trails him.
His path crosses that of his poor employee Fantine (Anne Hathaway) and her daughter Cosette (Amanda Seyfried), who falls in love with revolutionary firebrand Marius (Eddie Redmayne) just as Paris erupts in violence.
Valjean must unite the lovers before making his final reckoning with Javert.
This is an oft-told story. But what makes Les Miserables memorable is the melodramatic musical fare that it is. It is visually packed with emotion; filled with grief, romance, humility and humour.
The film charms its audience with passion, sincerity and an overwhelming force of the characters. Every line, every note, every scene is belted out with diaphragm-quivering conviction and unbroken, unremitting intensity. The physical strength of this movie is impressive: an awe-inspiring and colossal effort, just like Valjean's as he lifts the flagpole at the beginning of the film. You can almost see the movie's muscles flexing and the veins standing out like whipcords on its forehead.
Crowe offers the most open, human performance as a cruel, unbending law-officer and royalist spy. Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter are great as the dodgy innkeepers M and Mme Thenardier, respectively. The urchin, Gavroche (Daniel Huttlestone), is charming as he addresses grownups in Cockney as "my dear".
Other moments are less up to the mark. Hathaway's fervent rendition of "I dreamed a dream", in extreme close-up, has been much admired, but her performance and appearance is a bit Marie Antoinette-ish. Her poverty-stricken character is supposed to have pitifully sold her teeth to a street dentist. Conveniently, this turns out to mean just her back teeth as her dazzlingly white front teeth are untouched.
The cinematography and production value are very good. Especially with Jackman hiking over mountaintops, and heaving a ship into a vast drydock alongside hundreds of other slaves, but apart from this, much of the film's final act is confined to one cramped studio set which represents downtown Paris.
The action should be momentous, considering that a revolution is brewing, but instead it seems paltry, and altogether more like a stage show than a film.

NEW YORK, U.S. - As companies grapple with slowing demand, investors have grown increasingly worried about growth in the technology sector.
On Wednesday, the benchmark S&P500 stock index recorded its biggest one-day fall since February, dropping over 3 percent.
With the benchmark index dropping and concerns rising over the increasing U.S. interest rates, stocks on major world markets plunged to a new three-month low.
Technology shares also dragged major equity indexes in Europe lower, which fell over 1 percent on Wednesday.
Gold prices, on the other hand, inched up as some investors sought refuge in the metal.
Austrian chipmaker AMS recorded the worst performance in Europe's tech sector, dropping 5.9 percent.
Further, STMicroelectronics too performed badly, closing down 5.8 percent.
After the Swiss company VAT Group said that demand from chip equipment makers was softening, the Philadelphia Semiconductor index tumbled 4.46 percent.
The S&P500 lost 94.66 points, or 3.29 percent, to 2,785.68.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 831.83 points, or 2.2 percent, to 25,598.74.
The Nasdaq Composite dropped 315.97 points, or 4.08 percent, to 7,422.05.
MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe recorded its biggest single-day fall since February.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European shares closed down 1.57 percent.
With leaders expression optimism for a Brexit deal, the euro and sterling rose.
The U.S. dollar lost ground against a basket of currencies.
The euro rose 0.25 percent to $1.1518.
The dollar index fell 0.17 percent.
Yen strengthened 0.53 percent versus the greenback at 112.36.
Meanwhile, Bond yields, that recorded multi-year highs earlier this week, ended lower on Wednesday.
Yields were pushed down to 3.1931 percent, after benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury notes rose late in the day.
The positive U.S. economic data has bolstered U.S. Treasury yields, that has led to expectations of the Federal Reserve announcing multiple rate hikes over the next 12 months.
According to Michael Matousek, head trader at U.S. Global Investors said, "The S&P 500 is looking very weak and negative and that is putting fear into investors. With the markets going down people are increasing their allocation towards gold."
Meanwhile, the drop in U.S. stocks, the possible impact from Hurricane Michael in the U.S. and worries amongst traders over the impact of U.S. sanctions on Iran's oil supply caused oil prices to drop over 2 percent.
U.S. crude settled down $1.79 at $73.17 per barrel.
Brent fell $1.91 to settle at $83.09.

Big changes: The year 2013 marked some big changes in the political landscape in Eastern Connecticut. Norwich voters elected the first woman mayor in the city�s history, giving Democrat Deb Hinchey a narrow win over incumbent Republican Peter Nystrom. Hinchey backers said they were drawn to her optimistic vision of the city and methodical approach to problem-solving.
Close recount: Griswold Republican Kevin Skulczyck won his town�s race for first selectman, after a recount showed he had a two-vote margin over three-term incumbent Democrat Philip Anthony Jr. Anthony�s vote total earned him a seat on the Board of Selectmen.
Other races: In Putnam, Democrat Tony Falzarano beat Republican Barney Seney after Mayor Peter Place chose not to run for re-election. In Brooklyn, Democrat Rick Ives convinced voters it was time for a change, and he handily beat incumbent Republican Austin Tanner for the first selectman�s seat. While Tanner campaigned on his track record of accomplishments, including road improvements, the middle school gym project and minimal mill rate increases, Ives campaigned on a different way of doing business.
Involvement: �It�s all about getting people involved,� Ives said. �Not just us communicating to them, but finding ways for them to communicate to us and then listening to them.�
What�s ahead: In Norwich, Hinchey will work with a heavily Democratic-leaning City Council, as four other members of her party were swept in on her ticket. Norwich voters also passed a $5 million infrastructure bond that will pay for the resurfacing of roads and improvements to culverts, bridges and piers across the city. Ives has outlined plans for his first six months in office in Brooklyn, and has stressed resident involvement. Griswold�s Skulczyck is planning a second vote on funding to replace the Griswold High School roof because officials are worried that wording in the first referendum question, which voters passed, might jeopardize state reimbursement money.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to prohibit stores in unincorporated county areas from giving out plastic shopping bags to customers.
The Los Angeles Times reported the ban, which does not affect the 88 cities in the county, is one of the nation's most aggressive environmental measures.
The new rule, which will cover nearly 1.1 million county residents when it goes into effect next July, reads, "No store shall provide to any customer a plastic carryout bag." Exceptions would be made for plastic bags used to contain fruit, vegetables or raw meat to prevent contamination with other grocery items, the Times reported.
The ordinance provides that shop owners choosing to offer paper bags to customers must sell them for 10 cents apiece. The stores will keep the revenue to buy the paper bags and educate customers about the rule, the Times reported.
"Plastic bags … pollute the urban landscape. They are what we call in our county urban tumbleweed," said Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.
Previous county attempts to promote recycling of plastic bags at grocery stores failed, said Mark Gold, president of the Santa Monica environmental group, Heal the Bay.
"You cannot recycle your way out of the plastic bag problem. The cost of convenience can no longer be at the expense of the environment," said Gold.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, the only supervisor to oppose the ban, said small mom-and-pop stores may suffer financially because they wouldn't be able to afford paper and reusable bag large volume purchases. He also said the ordinance could force poor people to buy bags in which to carry their lunch or pick up pet waste.
"At a time of economic uncertainty, with a large number of businesses leaving our state and community, this would not be an appropriate time ... to impose this additional regulation," Antonovich said.

Who said?
1) I hope that Jews, including those in America will come to settle in Hebron and around it.
2) Jews have complete rights in this land, to live in Gush Etzion and Har Hebron in its entirety.
3) If we manage to create a massive Aliyah [to the territories], we will be able to keep this land whole, like it was.
4) There never was a Palestinian state, and the Arabs that conquered the land never developed anything.
5) I would never give a command to destroy any settlement in the territories.
6) We need to increase pace, and spread more settlements across the map.
And as a bonus:
1) Who gave 10% of his pension to the Rabbi Levinger's yeshiva in Hebron?

Every single quote above was said and written (and done) by none other than David Ben-Gurion.
While often characterized today as the stereotypical Leftist, his statements and actions would hardly fit that profile. He would better be defined as Rightwing with realpolitik leanings.
- 8:55 PM, October 16, 2011
Ben Gurion is not characterized as a stereotypical leftist. Most of the contemporary left is embarrassed by his role in the "nakba".
Peres (who really is a stereotypical leftist nowadays) or Rabin (who is worshipped by the leftists) would be better examples of people whose opinions were right-wing (by contemporary standards) throughout most of their life (all of it in Rabin's case).
- 11:37 PM, October 16, 2011
- Lurker said...
In his day, to say that someone like B-G was a leftist was to say that he espoused a socialist economic ideology. It did not mean that he wasn't a Zionist nationalist. B-G most certainly was. Nor did it mean that he advocated capitulating to the Arabs for the sake of a meaningless "peace" agreement. B-G didn't.
In Israel, it is only in the last 25 years or so that being "leftist" has come to mean anti-nationalism, defeatism, and hatred of Jews who live in the Jewish heartland.
- 3:12 AM, October 17, 2011
I think "quintessential" is a better word that "stereotypical".
B-G would be angry at the positions of the Left today, as well as those that try to place him in their camp.
Until the article in Makor Rishon last weekend which highlighted many more of his actions and statements, I thought the same about him simply because that is how he is portrayed by the Left today, despite what he actually said and did.
(For that matter, after a visit once to his museum, I walked out of the movie thinking how the museum tried to portray him as the Messiah).
- 3:34 AM, October 17, 2011
I have now doubt that if BG was alive today and still in politics he would allign himself with the politcal left and probably be a very good prime minister who would have come to an agreement with the Palestinians a long time ago.
Like many leaders as times change so do their viewpoints. The world of today is very different to what it was 40 or 50 years ago and you cant continue holding on to what was.
As a matter of fact, after the Six-Day War, Ben-Gurion was in favour of returning all the occupied territories apart from Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and Mount Hebron.
- 10:23 AM, October 17, 2011
- JoeSettler said...
Jeremy: Actually, immediately after the 6 Day war, B-G quickly shot from the hip (apparently in response to Avneri's publicized plan the day before) and said Israel should give away the captured lands in exchange for "True Peace".
Yet, his vision of "True Peace" though was actual friendship, not a cold peace treaty.
But then he completely recanted the above statement after visiting the territories, and those statements I included above in the post were part of that recanting he repeatedly made over the years.
Other statements he made after his initial misstatement also included: "Even for a True Peace he would not give away Ramat HaGolan or Jerusalem". This statement he made after flying over the Golan for the first time with Ezer Wietzman.
So you were quoting a statement he made that he afterwards regretted and spoke and acted to fix.

Closing campus
The amount spent to close the University of Colorado's Boulder campus on 4/20:
2014: $60,433
2013: $107,794
2012: $278,798 (includes student government funds)
Source: University of Colorado
Breaking it down
A breakdown of the costs associated with 2014's campus closure
$28,633 for labor costs for officers from outside agencies, and overtime costs for CU police, parking and transportation staff
$12,234 for Argus security staff
$5,119 for cones, barricades and signs
$2,850 for medical response staff
$11,597 for equipment, supplies, operations facility rental, printing and food and water for personnel
Source: University of Colorado
The University of Colorado spent $60,433 to close down the Boulder campus on April 20 as part of its ongoing effort to keep pot smokers from congregating on the annual 4/20 marijuana holiday — a figure that's down more than 40 percent from what officials spent last year.
The university made "conscious efforts" to curtail expenses this year, and was able to spend less by shortening the amount of time the campus was closed to outsiders, CU spokesman Ryan Huff said Wednesday.
Students, faculty and staff were required to show CU identification before being allowed on campus. Other guests were required to obtain a visitor's pass to enter the campus.
This year, the campus was closed to outsiders for six hours, from noon to 6 p.m. In 2013, CU spent $107,794 to shut down the campus from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
In addition, Huff said "strategic decisions" were made to decrease the number of police officers present and instead increase the number of private security staff. When no activity occurred on campus before or at 4:20 p.m., some staff members were allowed to leave early, Huff said.
Funds used to suppress the annual gathering came from insurance premium rebates resulting from reductions in liability and hazard claims, and no tuition or taxpayer money was used, Huff said.
Increasing efforts
Campus officials have been ramping up efforts to extinguish the annual pot smokeout over the last three years, and the university's tactics have worked — after severely diminishing the event in 2012, Norlin Quadrangle was empty on 4/20 in 2013 and 2014.
At its peak, 4/20 became a glorified holiday on the Boulder campus and drew more than 10,000 people to the grassy quad to congregate, smoke and celebrate pot culture.
Costs for stamping out the gathering have gone down steadily since 2012, the first year the university seriously cracked down on revelers.
That year, the university and the student government spent $278,798 on security, fish-smelling fertilizer and a Wyclef Jean concert meant to divert attention away from the quad.
Spending some money to end the yearly influx of cannabis-lovers will save the university money in the long run, Huff said.
Before 2012, the university spent roughly $50,000 per year cleaning up after the annual smokeout, and for security during the gathering, Huff said.
"The gathering was highly disruptive to the academic mission of the university," he said. "Had we not moved to close the campus in 2012, it's conceivable that we would be paying $50,000 a year in perpetuity to manage this unpermitted event.
"We hope that in the near future we won't have to spend funds on 4/20 operations."
'Serious' about ending 4/20
This was the third year the university closed the campus to outsiders on April 20, an action Chancellor Phil DiStefano said was necessary to show that the campus won't tolerate the annual pot party.
"You may ask why this move is necessary after two successful years of curtailing the large 4/20 crowd," DiStefano wrote in a letter to the campus this spring. "It is imperative that the public knows we are serious about eliminating this disruptive gathering.
"I hope at some point in the near-future that campus closures will not be necessary, and we can go about daily business on campus as we normally do."
Huff echoed DiStefano's statement, and said the campus has not yet made plans for 2015.
This was the first 4/20 after recreational marijuana became legal in Colorado. However, campus officials noted that consuming marijuana in public or by people who are under 21 is still illegal. Smoking is banned entirely on the Boulder campus.
In Denver this year, tens of thousands of people gathered at Civic Center Park on 4/20. Others celebrated a Snoop Dogg concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Linux, security skills projected hot skills for 2005
IT workers looking to improve their standing in the job market should look to open source, Web services and security-related skill and certification sets, according to recent research.
Security, Web services and Linux jobs continue to dominate the IT help wanted ads and are projected to remain among the hottest skill and certification areas in 2005, according to research firms that specialize in tracking skills and certifications.
Researchers said companies continue to invest in security-related projects while looking to eliminate aging legacy systems, and are exploring less expensive, newer platforms such as Linux.
A small drop off in offshore outsourcing projects and an increase in competition for IT consulting talent have contributed to a reversal in declining premium pay tied to IT skills, said David Foote, president and chief research officer for Foote Partners LLC, a New Canaan, Conn., research firm that specializes in tracking skills and certifications.
"There is a re-emergence of talent wars, but on a smaller scale than in the past, according to our research," Foote said. "This is an indication that offshore outsourcing will no longer be the dominant theme in IT employment trends."
Security certifications top the list for a second year in a row. Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations on data in the health care and financial services industries continue to drive the trend, Foote said.
Having a niche certification also continues to be desirable, Foote said. For example, IT personnel with intrusion detection skills are highly desired.
Networking, messaging and programming language skills also increased in value in 2004, Foote said. Networking skills pay has increased 6% in the past year, messaging/groupware skills are up 4.5%, and skills relating to applications development and programming languages have grown nearly 4% in value.
IT workers who are familiar with basic Unix and Linux concepts will also stand out in the job market, said Tony Iams, principal analyst with Port Chester, N.Y.-based research firm, D.H. Brown Associates Inc. Companies are seeking IT personnel in patch management and other basic Linux support skills.
"Linux for a long time had been targeted for edge of network type applications, but it's taking on support for a much broader range of applications," Iams said. "For a while, it looked like the future was Windows, but now there is a larger demand for a more hands-on understanding for the Unix and Linux philosophy of managing workloads."
Robert Half Technology, an IT consultancy and job placement firm based in Menlo Park, Calif., is documenting similar trends. Network security administrators, quality assurance managers and business systems analysts are seeing a slight increase in pay, said Katherine Spencer Lee, executive director of Robert Half Technology.
Starting salaries overall are projected to increase an average of 0.5% in 2005, with larger increases expected in high-demand specialties such as information security and quality assurance, Lee said. This compares to the 1.6% decline in pay that was projected this time last year.
A need for more additional database administrators has also been a growing trend, according to Robert Half. Companies are trying to get control of the growing amount of data they collect.
Despite the move by companies to streamline systems, more and more data continues to be unused by companies, said Charles Garry, senior program director of server infrastructure strategies with Stamford, Conn.-based Meta Group. Garry said DBAs need to follow in the footsteps of blacksmiths who dealt with the rise of the automobile.
"Innovation is not a bad thing, it just means that the workforce needs to adapt," Garry said. "As end users get more tech savvy, DBAs need to understand the business side to make better infrastructure decisions so companies aren't paying for more than they need."
The trend to outsource daily management of database systems will continue to multiply, Garry said. DBAs need to respond by taking on skill sets they never had in the past.
DBAs need to have database archiving skills and understand business intelligence and data warehousing, Garry said. A solid understanding of specific applications and the movement and cleansing of data are also skills that make a job applicant stand out.
"We're seeing the birth of a data resource manager," Garry said. "Clearly, DBAs of the future need to have a lot better people skills than they've shown in years past."

I have a really nice desk in my office. It looks exquisite, and it's ready to hold my papers and serve as a great platform to work on.
As soon as I finish building it, that is.
I've got the first couple of steps done already, having screwed together some panels, hammered little "feet" onto others and glued some dowelettes into some holes.
Now for the next 20-plus steps! All the supplies are there. This is a perfectly structured process, great for us Aspies. The booklet, as far as I can tell, gives very good step-by-step instructions.
Thing is, I just have trouble seeing myself finishing the desk. I try to anticipate every possible problem that might come up. Anticipating problems is great when you can plan for them. However, when your brain comes up with nebulous possibility after nebulous possibility and doesn't even fill in the blanks on one fantasy before moving on to the next, it's a different story.
When you're like a computer whose owner has tried to simultaneously run 15 different programs (not counting a browser with 40 separate tabs) and then stream an HD video, no wonder your mind gives you the metaphorical Blue Screen of Death once in a while!
As an Aspie in a country governed by certain disability laws, I can ask for reasonable accommodations, including upon occasion being allowed to consider issues one at a time. That is, I can ask other people to let me single-focus where feasible.
But what happens when it's my own imagination? Our laws are pretty enlightened, but even so I suspect that if one half of my grey matter sued the other half for, say, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, I'd probably get laughed out of court.
In an episode of "The Honeymooners," Ralph Kramden talked about how his father had given him a cornet that he never learned to play well, and he always wanted to "hit the high note." That was his metaphor for his difficulties finishing what he started—in this case, actually getting a civil service job he applied for.
Boy, do I empathize with that. People have lots of reasons for not always finishing what they start—and sometimes they're good reasons. What we often don't realize is that many people need to build their skills in effective task completion. This can be especially true for Aspies. We sometimes need more time to process things—in part because our imaginations don't always give us the full versions of their scenarios the first time around. It's a bit like the Cheshire Cat ... one part comes in at a time. And heaven knows I've had enough problems with impulsive decision-making—impulsive not because I made certain decisions quickly but rather because I made them with very incomplete knowledge of their implications.
As for my desk, I'm just going to get back to building it and handle any issues as they come!

Wireless printing center
Setup and security
Make the following setting changes on your wireless router, or verify that they've already been made:
- Change the manufacturer's default name for the network name (SSID) to something unique.
- Change the login and password of your router's admin user account to something unique and different than the default.
- Set the broadcast SSID to "on" or "enable" (typically the default setting).
- For security, use a WPA or WPA2 passphrase.
The following security methods are not recommended for securing your network because they can be easily broken:
- MAC address filtering
- Disabling SSID broadcasting
- WEP key encryption . If you must use WEP, the 'Open' mode is more secure than the 'Shared' mode.
For the encryption type select AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). AES is the newest and most secure way of encrypting data on your wireless network. Create a WPA passphrase that is at least 13 characters. Use numbers, letters, upper and lower case and punctuation to ensure strong network security.
Be sure to record your wireless settings, because you'll need this information when you add wireless devices to your wireless network.
When you are done configuring your router, make sure to click "Apply" or "OK" to apply the settings you've made or changed. If you are configuring an existing wireless router that already had wireless devices connected, you'll need to configure each wireless device with the new configuration information.

But I don't think the exchnge ofwearing ring is western practice. The first allusion is found in the Sanskrit drama of Kalidasa (the earliest claasic poet), the AbhijnanaShakunthala, where the heo presents a ring with his name inscribed to the heroine as the token of his love and made a promise to call her to his palace by the time she finishes reading the letters of his name each letter a day (i.e. within three days) which could not be kept (which prolongs their joining to gether). This is the first reference in the earliest Indian literature to the wedding ring.(???). Theirs was called gandharva marriage or the love marriage (if it can be called).

According to our Hindu culture, rings should be worn in particular finger only. Each and every finger has some importance.

What is wearing a wedding? You mean wearing a wedding ring?but as far as I know wearing a wedding is not a Hindu religious thing..
So far as I know, wearing a wedding ring is not a christian custom either. Its nothing to do with religion. Just a western cultural aspect, actually.

Oh.. I thought it was RT and commented.. I seemed to have said the same thing earlier..

yeah i meant to type wedding ring..

The rings are represented by Kalidasa variously.
The anguliyaka of various designs decorated the fingers. Besides gold,
which was mostly used for ornaments, diamonds and other gems were also em-
ployed for making rings. Several rings bore the design of a serpent, while
others were imprinted with the names of their owners. Sometimes a ring was
used as a pass-word of authority.
More inventory of ring to the references by Kalidasa is found in the following article:
Of course, in Sundarakanda of Ramayana, we know the episode of giving his Ring to Hanuman, for identifying hm as the messenger sent by Rama for Sita in case she is found. This testifies Rama was wearing a ring, which in fact, may be the authoritative seal or symbol of a king and not necessarily a wedding ring. But this ring sanctified by sage YaagynavalkyA played a key role in the praNaya Kalaham between Lord RaamachandrA and Seetha that
was known only to them . This may be indicative of the wedding ring.
The finger ring or anguliyaka is visible on some of the Satavahana sculptures but only after A.D.150.
On Indigenous ornaments of India see:
And, in Thirumala, Sri Venkatesha is described as wearing the celestial rings on his fingers in the abode of Vaikuntha in some sthothra.
According to Smriti texts or Codes of Religious conducts in India, the golden ring or its representative a ring made of darbha grass is to be worn for peforming any religious act to purify the finger. According to the Purana-s, it is with this ring, that Shiva plucked out one of the five heads of Brahma, the creator after which he became four headd and due to this this finger is adjoined with Brahmahatya sin. Hence it is unworth to be named and hence called anamika or without a name. It is to purify this finger and through it the whole body by wearing the ring that rings are worn during the performnce of religious acts. Any religious rite performed without wearing the ring, is null and void and needs to be repeated, according to the Smriti precriptions.
Does this all represent the part played in the Hindu cultural tradion or the rreligious ceremony Gandharva Vivaha (in the case of kalidasa-s play), which is one of the eight types of marriages or is it influenced by the western cultural aspect? Pls. answer straight forward. Of course, in a way its answered by Vasan as age worn Indian tradition.
With regards

Everything Everywhere accused of lining pockets with charity cash
Just covering costs guv'
Everything Everywhere has been taking 10 percent of charitable text messages, excepting its selected charities, on the flimsy excuse of having to cover its processing costs.
The problem is that it seems the other network operators are more generous with their cut, passing on the entire payment, so the operator is being forced to re-examine its charging structure to avoid appearing as the villain of the piece as everyone leaps aboard the already crowded bandwagon to accuse the company of lining its own pockets on charitable donations.
Nick Hurd, the Minister for Civil Society, is behind the call while Phillip Blond, Big Society advisor, thinks it's "an absolute disgrace" and that "it should stop immediately".
In defending the indefensible, EE claims it has to cover costs, and that half a dozen "partner" charities get the full payment while the thousands who also take donations by text get 90 per cent of the money. But given the media pressure, the operator is currently holding meetings to reconsider its position.
Processing payments does cost money, and all the charitable collection mechanisms have to cover costs: JustGiving, for example, takes £15 a month plus 5 per cent of every donation, but Everything Everywhere's problem is that it was the only network operator with its hand in the till.
Mega-corporations taking money from charities is something we can all abhor with a clear conscience, and EE will, no doubt, come out with a statement in the next hour or two saying they're dropping the charges.
The operator, like the others, will then take the money off us in other ways, but everyone will then be able to claim a victory while EE stands in the corner looking repentant in the best pantomime tradition. ®

New storm in Egypt over citizen arrests
CAIRO (AP) — An official statement encouraging Egyptian civilians to arrest lawbreakers and hand them over to police has set off a new political storm in a country already mired in crisis.
A senior leader of a hard-line Islamist faction loyal to President Mohammed Morsi said his group was preparing lists of volunteers ready to take over police duties if needed.
The main opposition coalition saw the statement on citizen arrests by the attorney general's office as a prelude to the substitution of the police by militias belonging to Morsi's powerful Muslim Brotherhood group and allied Islamist groups who swept to power after Egypt's uprising two years ago.
"It is now clear why the regime insists on pitting the police against the people and relying on security measures to tackle problems that need social, economic and political solutions," the opposition National Salvation Front said in a statement on Monday.
Egypt has been embroiled in wave after wave of political protests since the 2011 uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak's autocratic regime.
The unrest has been fueled by the entire range of social ills from tenuous security to an unraveling economy and the leadership of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood controls parliament as well as the presidency and has won every election since Mubarak's ouster.
Morsi's government says the recent wave of protests sweeping many parts of the country is a conspiracy involving both Mubarak loyalists and the mostly liberal and secular opposition to undermine the authority of a democratically elected president.
The president said in a TV interview aired last month that he would like see more regular Egyptians take the initiative in dealing with protesters such as those who block roads. He has repeatedly warned that while peaceful protests are a given in today's Egypt, those who disrupt normal life hurt the economy and scare investors away.
The opposition statement recalled the events of Dec. 5 when Morsi supporters set upon opposition protesters camped outside the presidential palace and later arrested and interrogated dozens of them in makeshift detention centers outside the palace gates.
Later, videos posted on social networks showed the president's supporters hitting and stripping the protesters.
"That, it is clear now, was not unrelated to the plan designed to divide the country as a prelude to the rule of the militias," the opposition front said.
Former lawmaker Mustafa el-Nagar, a liberal opposition supporter, said the statement by the attorney general's office would cause more divisions in the country and empower anyone to make a citizen arrest under false pretenses.
"Under our present circumstances, we cannot open the door for such action because it will open the door to civil war," he said. "This has to be stopped and authorities must back down."
Late Sunday night, the office of the attorney general, the country's top prosecutor, issued a statement encouraging citizen arrests. It was attributed to a senior aide, Hassan Yassin.
Some of the offenses he cited as warranting citizen arrests have been commonplace in Egypt in the two years since the uprising and have become more frequent in recent weeks.
Among them are sabotaging state facilities, blocking roads, disrupting public transport, preventing state employees from reaching their workplace and terrorizing citizens.
The statement coincided with a partial strike by segments of the police to demand better working conditions and, in some cases, to protest what they see as an attempt by the Muslim Brotherhood to control the police. The Brotherhood denies the charge.
Meanwhile, the former jihadist group Gamaa Islamiya has begun enrolling followers in the southern province of Assiut, one of its main strongholds, in "popular committees" to maintain law and order, according to a senior leader of the group who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject. The Islamist group supports Morsi.
Lists of volunteers with their addresses and phone numbers are being compiled there, he said. When activated, they will protect state installations, direct traffic and investigate complaints by residents, he claimed.
Before Gamaa Islamiya renounced violence, it played a key part in an anti-government insurgency in the 1990s. Now, it says the police strike and civil disobedience —like that seen recently in the coastal city of Port Said — are part of a conspiracy to topple Morsi's administration.
The group has said it would send members of its "popular committees" to the streets if police abandon their duties. Hard-line Islamists have already branded police strikes as religiously prohibited amid calls for legislation outlawing the strikes.
"We are calling on anyone anywhere who is experiencing a security vacuum to fill it with popular efforts," Assem Abdel-Maged, a senior leader of the Gamaa, said on Monday.
Later the same night, hundreds of Gamaa members toured the city of Assiut on motorbikes, assuring residents through loudspeakers that the group was capable of ensuring security in the city and inviting Muslims and Christians to join the "popular committees." Christians account for some 35 percent of the population in Assiut province.
A joint statement signed by 15 Islamist groups, including the Gamaa and the Brotherhood, said that they "valued" the role played by "honest policemen" and are opposed to any attempt to politicize the force.
They warned against any attempt to destabilize the country, calling on all political forces to support the police "by all possible means, including popular committees if need be."
Egypt's security woes date back to the days of the uprising against Mubarak, which was sparked in part by hatred for the police force over years of abuse of power and brutality.
The force melted away after the revolution's deadliest day of clashes on Jan. 28, 2011 and police have since returned to work. But police have yet to fully take back the streets.
The security vacuum exacerbated by the striking police and violence in the heart of Cairo on Saturday appeared to be fueling the calls for creating popular committees to aid in policing.
Thousands of angry soccer fans rampaged through the heart of the capital on Saturday, attacking and setting ablaze the headquarters of the national soccer federation after they torched a police club.
The twin fires sent columns of thick black smoke billowing over the city of some 18 million. The fans were angered by the acquittal of seven of nine policemen tried for their alleged part in a soccer riot last year that killed 74 people.
Also, police pulled out from the coastal city of Port Said on Friday after days of deadly clashes with protesters who torched the security headquarters. The military is now in control of the city, which has been in open rebellion against Morsi's rule since late January.
On Sunday, drivers of Cairo's popular communal taxis staged a strike to protest fuel shortages, creating a traffic nightmare on the already congested streets of the city. Some of the drivers, armed with knives and guns, attacked others who did not observe the strike or got into fights with other motorists angered by their action.
The statement by the attorney general's office raised fears that it could provide legal cover for Morsi supporters to take on anti-government protesters.
The right of civilians to make citizen arrests is enshrined in a little known article in Egypt's penal code. The article says that such arrests should only be made when a citizen witnesses a crime that warrants holding the suspect in police custody in the run-up to a trial.
That condition, according to lawyer and rights activist Mohsen Bahnasi, assumes familiarity with the law by ordinary civilians.
"This statement paves the way for the creation of militias at a time when the country is going through a difficult transition," he said.
Associated Press writer Amir Makar in Cairo and Mamdouh Thabet in Assiut contributed to this report.

The German newsmagazine Der Spiegel has published two photographs depicting U.S. Army soldiers posing next to the corpse of an Afghan civilian moments after he was killed in an incident the Army has classified as a murder.
The photos are among several hundred the Army has sought to keep under wraps as it prosecutes five members of the 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, for the alleged murders of three unarmed Afghan civilians last year. The photographs published by Der Spiegel were among those covered by a judicial protective order issued by a military judge, prohibiting their public release.
The photos were published in the print edition of the magazine scheduled for distribution Monday. An advance copy was made available to subscribers in an e-mail over the weekend.
According to the magazine, the photos show soldiers from the 5th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, posing separately next to the corpse of Gul Mudin, an unarmed Afghan civilian killed by their unit on Jan. 15, 2010.
One photo depicts Spec. Jeremy N. Morlock of Wasilla, Alaska, smiling and crouching next to the bloodied corpse. The other depicts Pfc. Andrew H. Holmes of Boise, Idaho, squatting next to the same body.
In a statement released Sunday, the Army called the actions depicted in the photos "repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States Army."
"We apologize for the distress these photos cause," the Army statement said. "The actions portrayed in these photographs remain under investigation and are now the subject of ongoing U.S. court-martial proceedings, in which the accused are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
Morlock and Holmes have both been charged with murder in Mudin's death. According to charging documents filed by Army criminal investigators, Mudin began walking toward the soldiers in the Maiwand district of Kandahar province. As the Afghan approached, Morlock threw a grenade on the ground, according to the documents, to create the illusion that the soldiers were under attack.
Holmes saw the grenade and fired his weapon at Mudin, according to charging documents. The grenade exploded, prompting other soldiers to open fire on the villager as well, killing him.
In statements to investigators, the soldiers involved have given conflicting details. In one statement that his attorney has subsequently tried to suppress, Morlock said that another soldier, Staff Sgt. Calvin R. Gibbs, had given him the grenade and that others were also aware of the ruse beforehand. But Holmes and his attorney said he was in the dark and opened fire only because Morlock ordered him to do so.
Morlock has pleaded guilty to three charges of murder and is scheduled to be sentenced at a court-martial Wednesday.
Geoffrey Nathan, one of Morlock's civilian defense attorneys, said the photographs published by Der Spiegel would not affect the outcome of his case. He said that the photographs do not have a time or date stamp and that the identity of the corpse and the setting were unverifiable, calling it "mere speculation."
But Daniel Conway, a civilian attorney for Holmes, confirmed the authenticity of the photo depicting his client, who he said "was ordered to be in the picture" by superiors in his platoon.
Conway said the photograph could help to clear Holmes of murder because Mudin's wounds appear to have been caused exclusively by a grenade blast. Holmes is accused of shooting the Afghan man.
Conway criticized the Army for trying to keep the photographs under wraps.
"The Army is spending most of their time investigating the photos rather than the murder," he said.
In its statement, the Army noted that, in addition to the murder charges, it was also investigating whether members of the unit mistreated Afghan corpses. Some soldiers already have been charged with harboring body parts of alleged victims.
"When allegations of wrongdoing by soldiers surface, to include the inappropriate treatment of the dead, they are fully investigated," the Army statement said. "Soldiers who commit offenses will be held fully accountable."
A third photograph published by Der Spiegel allegedly depicts two dead, handcuffed Afghan civilians. No soldiers are included in the photo, and the magazine did not say when it was taken or how it was related to the Stryker unit.

Geisha A-Go-Go: Katy Perry's AMAs Performance Stirs Debate
These were the American Music Awards, never the high point of televised trophy-tossing tastefulness to begin with. But as the Cirque du Sayonara spectacle of Katy Perry's opening number unfurled, my jaw slowly dropped until it nearly rested against my collarbone.
There was Perry, in full kimono, tabi socks, lacquered hair and geiko pancake, belting out her latest smash hit. Her traditional outfit had been tightened at the bust with a triangular cutout designed to accentuate rather than flatten her generous bosom, and the sides cut to the waist to expose her pearlescent American legs. And she was surrounded by a throng of acrobatic maiko, their faces rollered with fat streaks of kabuki makeup, who provided energetic fan-flapping as backup — at least until they started flying and somersaulting through the air.
In short, this was a a full-barreled technicolor assault on a quarter-millennium-old set of traditions that would've given any self-respecting denizen of Kyoto's Gion District a massive fatal heart attack. But Perry's whiteface/yellowface performance was also a harsh reminder of how deeply anchored the archetype of the exotic, self-sacrificing "lotus blossom" is in the Western imagination.

What's So Bad About Mike Huckabee ?
George Will sums it up nicely:
Huckabee's campaign actually is what Rudy Giuliani's candidacy is misdescribed as being — a comprehensive apostasy against core Republican beliefs. Giuliani departs from recent Republican stances regarding two issues — abortion and the recognition by law of same-sex couples. Huckabee's radical candidacy broadly repudiates core Republican policies such as free trade, low taxes, the essential legitimacy of America's corporate entities and the market system allocating wealth and opportunity. And consider New Hampshire's chapter of the National Education Association, the teachers union that is a crucial component of the Democratic Party's base.
Huckabee's role in this year's '70s Show is not merely to attempt to revise a few Republican beliefs. He represents wholesale repudiation of what came after the 1970s — Reaganism.
Mike Huckabee: He's Nixon, but with a better shave.

Every app I download seems to want more and more access rights — to either my SD card, my Internet connection, and even my address book. And with every app, my phone gets a little less secure. The new SE Android OS aims to lock down my phone against any and all exploits.
SE Android is a secured version of the Android OS created by the National Security Agency (the NSA). Every file and folder on the phone can be individually locked and encrypted, Wi-Fi and mobile network security has been enhanced, and the app permission system now employs a multi-level security scheme.
Installation is a bit of a challenge, mind you. You'll need to be comfortable with Android source code and be familiar with Linux and Unix systems without a lot of support. Essentially, to install SE you'll first download and compile the latest OS code from the Android Open Source Project onto your phone, then load the SE Android source onto that. This means it needs either an emulator or the Nexus S — if you have neither, maybe just be a little more careful with what you put on your phone. [H-Online via Android Community via Talkadroid]

Mitch Greenberg, owner and creator of Mitchmallows, has invented more than 36 flavors of marshmallows that are not only pleasing to the mouth, but also pleasing to the eyes.
Greenberg, once a set designer and a graduate of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, put his passion for sweets into creating unique marshmallows that cater to special occasions, such as bridal parties and birthdays.
"My background in design taught me how to tell a story with marshmallows," said Greenberg. "And the clown college helped me bring out the creativity."
Mitchmallows come in an array of flavors, such as ginger-wasabi, pretzel and beer, and maple syrup pancake.
"We do marshmallow flavors that no one had before," says Greenberg excitedly. At the same time, they make special themed marshmallows during holidays, such as Easter and Christmas. "We even do Passover-themed marshmallows."
The place where the magic happens is the Entrepreneur Space in Long Island City. There, Greenberg brings his imagination and creativity to life. One of the most unique marshmallows is the BLT s'mores, where a tomato-flavored marshmallow is placed on a piece of toast with bacon on top.
The creamsicle mallow is another favorite among customers, since it tastes just like the half-vanilla, half-orange creamsicle pops from back in the day.

Does anyone watch an anime that not only catches their interest, but also help you pass school? Hetalia has helped me get through world history (Of course) and La Corda D'oro has helped me ace music theory.
What about you guys?
I'm curious. Can you elaborate? How exactly did they help you?
Anime did not help me too much.. But some anime like ghost in the shell inspired me to think critically.
Can't say anime helped pass a particular subject. Though characters like Kamina and Goku gave me the idea to never quit and keep trying when things get hard in classes.
Baka to test helps me how to be intelligent yet stupid.
I dont know if it helped me, but I tried to be inspired by extreme hard working people like Luffy, Zoro, Rock Lee, Naruto. They have all went through extreme hardships and training. The first thing that comes to mind is Luffy climbing up the upward mountain in the snowy country with no gloves and with Nami on her back. My god how resilient Luffy is, he didnt give up!
May peace bestow this world,
May our hearts unite.
Life may not be smooth as pearl,
But pray for our decisions to be always right.
Life may be hard, it's a big pain in the butt. But hey, who says behind all those pain, can't hide some happiness ?
It also helps get me through the more boring bits of history class. While we were learning about WW2 there was a question about when Germany invaded Poland, it was all I could do to keep from laughing because all I could think about was that pony he had...
All anime did was help me fail a subject.

Spice and Wolf. My History teacher looked just like Holo. except for the tail...and ears... and eyes... and hair color... and everything else about her, but other than that, she looked just like Holo. Totally helped me out.
The other thing that helped me is that i'm just a friggin' genius.
Hmmm... Been a while
Seems like some animes don't really help you get by in school, but rather give off inspirational themes.
I guess Ergo Proxy might have helped bolster my superficial memory of philosopher's names: Husserl, Lacan, Derrida, Berkley, Deleuze/Guattari, etc. ...

Love Hina, but less about what it taught me... and how it inspired me to actually want to study ^^;
well, maybe not helped but inspired me to study and do well in school is bakuman. i dont know, i just want to be a real life akito takagi so badly that i became a nerd. well, i guess it helped.

Well, anime was a great motivator for me when I started taking Japanese in high school.

If a relative clause adds parenthetical, nondefining information, it is nonrestrictive. A nonrestrictive (parenthetical) element is set off by commas.chownah wrote:I just want to know if there is some practical difference in the three ways to refer to the ball.....to most people there is not.
'the ball, which is red'
When the relative clause limits or restricts the noun or noun substitute (substantive) it modifies, it is restrictive, and it is not set off by commas.
'the ball that is red' / 'the red ball'
Does this help?this website, source of the above definitions, also wrote: When the relative clause limits or restricts the noun or noun substitute (substantive) it modifies, it is restrictive, and it is not set off by commas.
~My brother that lives in Arizona is named Pat.
In this sentence the clause "that lives in Arizona" is needed to specify which brother, since the reader has no other way of knowing how many brothers the writer has or which brother is being referred to. (One way to think of the issue of restrictive and non-restrictive elements is that a restrictive element provides information that is necessary to narrow the field of candidates down to one.)
But check out this example:
~My other brother, who lives in Texas, is named Sam.
In this sentence the first substantive, the noun phrase "My other brother," conveys the information that the writer has only two brothers, and it also specifies which of those two brothers is being referred to, so the fact that he lives in Texas is extra information--not necessary for specifying which of two brothers is being referred to. In fact, although the brother's name is given in this sentence, the name itself isn't actually needed to narrow the field of candidates to one: the phrase "my other brother" indicates that the writer has only two brothers, and it also specifies which of thoise two brothers he is referring to. (Obviously, the would not say "my other brother" except in a context where he has just referred to the first brother.)
If the relative clause "who lives in Texas" were treated as restrictive, then the sentence would convey the information that the writer has two brothers who live in Texas, and that would only make sense if another brother living in Texas had already been mentioned:
~I have two brothers that live in Texas. One is named Eric. My other brother who lives in Texas is named Sam.

Schroders Quickview: March 2016 eyed as Fed aborts lift off
Forecasts for an interest rate rise in the US drifted out further after the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided against kick-starting a cycle of rate hikes blaming global economic and inflationary pressures.
- Stuttering China a cause for concern for the Fed
- Low inflation providing time for the Fed to pause for thought
- Is March 2016 now a more likely lift-off date?
- Will continued loose monetary policy store up future issues?
Outside forces keep Fed at bay
Schroders Chief Economist Keith Wade pushed his forecasts for a first interest rate rise in the US out to March 2016 after the Fed chose to keep interest rates at record lows in its September meeting.
External factors tipped the balance with Fed chair Janet Yellen referencing China concerns during her press conference.
Lower commodity prices and a strong dollar are weighing on consumer prices, giving the US central bank more time to keep rates at close to zero.
The Fed is watching carefully for signs of a hard landing in China which would exacerbate deflationary pressure in the world economy.
Certainly these developments will keep inflation low in the near term, but we would still see domestic price pressure building through the labour market.
No hard landing, but no clear pick-up for China.
The unemployment rate has now reached its equilibrium on most estimates and on current trends will fall further in the coming months.
It is true that wages have not accelerated as yet, but it is only likely to be a matter of time before we see wage costs picking up in our view.
China confidence eroding
As external factors are outweighing domestic it could be argued that the outlook for the Fed now depends on the outlook for China.
In our view China may get a boost from fiscal support in the coming months, but the underlying picture is one of an economy where growth is grinding lower.
The Fed could well wait beyond January before lift-off with March 2016 now the more likely date.
Our indicators suggest growth will decelerate toward 6% in 2016 as the economy faces structural headwinds from overcapacity. So no hard landing, but no clear pick-up.
Meanwhile, the economy will experience persistent deflationary pressure and markets will continue to debate the need for more policy action from the authorities, including a potential devaluation of the Chinese yuan (CNY).
Wage rises key
Against this backdrop we will need to see strong evidence of rising wages before the Fed will be confident that inflation is headed back to 2%.
This could take months: if we focus on the Employment Cost Index, seen as the best measure of wage pressure in the economy, we will need to wait for the next release at the end of October, and then probably the one after at the end of January, before being able to confidently identify the upswing in wage costs.
Storing up problems like it's the 1990s
Comparisons are being made with two years ago when the Fed decided not to taper following a tightening of financial market conditions.
Today is similar, but the current Fed could well wait beyond January before lift-off with March 2016 now the more likely date.
Is the Fed now behind the curve? The risk has to be that by delaying rate moves they will stoke future inflation and will then have to respond more aggressively.
However, the current environment is reminiscent of the late 1990s when the Fed cut rates in response to emerging market turmoil, more specifically the Russia default.
Like today, there were fears of deflation as external pressures outweighed domestic. The consequence was that US policy was kept loose; however in the Fed's defence this did not result in a sharp pick-up in inflation.
Instead the excess liquidity fed into financial markets as investors took increasing risks and ultimately stored up bigger problems for the banking system and the economy.
Lisa Hornby's View from the US
The number of hours spent analysing Thursday's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate decision must have set some kind of record.
Ultimately, the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to leave the Fed Funds rate unchanged at 0-0.25%, citing recent global developments and their potential impact on inflation.
The FOMC also published an update to their infamous "dot plot", that is each member's individual projections of where the Fed Funds rate will be for the foreseeable future.
The market is still reflecting a much more benign outlook for policy rates than both the Fed and we are expecting.
The median rate expectation for year-end 2015 through 2017 moved down by approximately one hike per year, with the biggest surprise being that one FOMC member sees the Fed cutting policy rates to below zero and leaving them there until the end of 2016.
The FOMC now expects rates to be at 0.375% at year-end, 1.375% by the end of 2016 and 2.625% by the end of 2017.
These forecast policy changes were done in the context of growth expectations being revised higher for the year and unemployment rate expectations being revised lower. Headline inflation expectations were revised down for the foreseeable future.
US market response subdued
The US market reaction immediately following the statement was relatively muted.
Initially, equity markets moved modestly higher, while 10-year Treasury yields fell towards 2.2% and front end Treasury bonds outperformed longer term Treasury bonds.
The Fed Funds market is now pricing in a 25% chance of a rate hike at the 28 October meeting.
Going into the statement, the market was pricing in a 32% probability of a rate increase in September, as well as an extremely gradual and atypical hiking cycle, with just under three hikes priced into the market through December 2016.
To put that into context, over the past three hiking cycles, the Fed has averaged approximately 17 basis points of rate increases per month (or one hike every Fed meeting).
However, even with the Fed's revised projections, the market is still reflecting a much more benign outlook for policy rates than both the Fed and we are expecting.
All in all, the Fed's economic outlook remains relatively stable and positive. However, it is clear that international developments will dominate Fed policy in the near-term.

Senator: A salamander brings redemption
Sen. Mike Johnston was in elementary school when a group of lawmakers crushed his and his classmates' dreams by saying "no" to making the Colorado hairstreak butterfly the state insect.
So when Sen. Joyce Foster approached her fellow Denver Democrat to ask if he wanted to co-sponsor a measure to make the Western Tiger salamander the state amphibian, a project dreamed up by a bunch of school kids, how could he resist? "We don't want to crush these young children the way that I was crushed as a child," he told the amused Senate today.
The Senate gave initial approval to the salamander measure, House Bill 1147, which was sponsored in the House by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver.
Oh, and as for the hairstreak butterfly, another generation of kids succeeded in 2006 in getting it named the state insect.

The next Animal Crossing still doesn't have an American release date, but it'll be out in Japan on November 8. That's why Nintendo just showed about 40 minutes of the game on YouTube this morning.
Have a look!
You'll see many of the game's changes: the new roads and topiary, the campers, the co-op mini-games... and more. Plus, K.K. Slider is back to play you a song.
Our Japanese-speaking staff isn't around right now, so for a translation of what in the world the game's designers are talking about, we refer you to NeoGAF poster StreetsAhead, who provides a good rundown. Read that in one window while the video plays, and you should be set.

I have often been asked why our 1979 Whitecaps team went on to win the NASL Soccer Bowl. My easy answer is the chemistry we had throughout the team.
There were teams like New York Cosmos who had better talent in their lineup, but when it came to a team working for each other, there was no one better than us.
Now I'm not getting carried away with our recent form and saying we are favorites to win it all – there is certainly still a long way to go. But there are similarities with the way this team is bonding together.
One of the things I have noticed in the last four games – where the team has only conceded two goals – is how hard the players are working for each other.
Camilo has gotten a lot of accolades this week for his offensive performances, but his teammates will have noticed how hard he is working defensively. I remember a couple of plays on Saturday when he sprinted 30 to 40 yards back to try and win the ball. The whole team is buying into the work ethic required to be among the best.
Martin Rennie has always said he wanted character players in his team. Not only does it look like he's found that, but it also looks like he has the right blend of youth and experience, and that's not just in terms of what happens on the field
'Caps go fishing with Pacific Angler
The recent fishing trip could end up being a very important part of bringing the team together. When you have a big squad like we have, with players speaking many different languages, you have to make sure everybody feels part of the team.
Team events build personal confidence and help players feel more comfortable, and that shines through during games. You have to feel great to play great.
Another very inspiring moment was having Canadian legend Rick Hansen deliver a speech to the team before the Chicago game. This was another memorable moment that will have a lasting effect on the boys.
I still feel that this team has another level it can go to.
They have not reached their full potential yet, and that is certainly encouraging because they've been getting great results of late.
With the togetherness this team is showing, there will be more fun times on and off the field.

Big Map Blog
Think of the Big Map Blog as an anthology of fascinating maps. According to the blog curator, more than two thirds of the maps come from the Perry-Castañeda Map Collection, Rumsey Map Collection, Library of Congress, and USGS Earth Explorer. The images are available elsewhere, but like any anthology, having them on one site makes access easier.
J Andriveau-Goujon's Comparative Mountain Heights (1850)
Images are diverse:
- J Andriveau-Goujon's Comparative Mountain Heights (1850), produced before the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India established the first published height of Everest,
- Marshall Islands "Stick Maps" (1920s) used by traditional Pacific island navigators,
- T Ditterline's map of Gettysburg on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (1863), and
- the Central Intelligence Agency's topographic map of the West Bank and vicinity (1984)
Users with plenty of time can browse the complete collection, more than 600 maps, or, more efficiently, browse by category: birdseyes, topographic, non-western, railroad, military, thematic maps and more. A pull-down menu offers 27 categories. Users can keyword search, but the results can be iffy. For example, a search for "bicycle" produces three maps, two showing bicycle routes and a third of 1598 Ireland, but no "bike" routes. By the way, adding "route" will display all maps with the "route" in the title. In the end, this is a small whinge.
Big Map Blog also links to other sites, the four sites named above, and more with maps of historical interest. Strange Maps and Radical Cartography present some unusual maps. Making Maps: DIY Cartography highlights resources that supplement the book Making Maps by John Krygier and Denis Wood and helps students make better maps.
