Enhanced Password Security - Phase I
Feature History
This document describes the Enhanced Password Security feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(18)S. It includes the following sections:
•Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs
•Monitoring and Maintaining Enhanced Password Security
Feature Overview
Using the Enhanced Password Security feature, you can configure MD5 encryption for username passwords. Before the introduction of this feature there were two types of passwords associated with usernames. Type 0 is a clear text password visible to any user who has access to privileged mode on the router. Type 7 is a password with a weak, exclusive-or type encryption. Type 7 passwords can be retrieved from the encrypted text by using publicly available tools.
MD5 encryption is a one-way hash function that makes reversal of an encrypted password impossible, providing strong encryption protection. Using MD5 encryption, you cannot retrieve clear text passwords. MD5 encrypted passwords cannot be used with protocols that require that the clear text password be retrievable, such as Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
Use the username (secret) command to configure a user name and an associated MD5 encrypted secret.
Enhanced Password Security provides a strong method of encryption for user passwords.
•Protocols which require the retrieval of clear text passwords, such as CHAP, cannot be used with MD5 encrypted passwords.
•You can specify a username password, or a username secret, but not both.
Related Features and Technologies
To establish a username-based authentication system, use the username command in global configuration mode. See Passwords and Privileges Commands for more details.

Platform Support Through Feature Navigator
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that support specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Feature Navigator. Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.
Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to quickly determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image.
To access Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to email@example.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions at http://www.cisco.com/register.
Feature Navigator is updated when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. As of May 2001, Feature Navigator supports M, T, E, S, and ST releases. You can access Feature Navigator at the following URL:

Configuration Tasks
The following section details the configuration task necessary for the Enhanced Password Security feature.
•Configuring Enhanced Security Password (required)
Configuring Enhanced Security Password
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)# username name secret 0 password
Router(config)# username name secret 5 encrypted-secret
Configures a username and encrypts a clear text password with MD5 encryption.
Configures a username and enters an MD5 encrypted text string which is stored as theMD5 encrypted password for the specified username.
Verifying MD5 Password Encryption
Follow the steps below to verify MD5 encryption on a username password:
Step 1 Configure an encrypted MD5 user password in global configuration mode.
Step 2 Exit configuration mode and enter the login local command.
Step 3 Verify that a valid user is able to log in through the console.
Monitoring and Maintaining Enhanced Password Security
Use the following command to monitor and maintain Enhanced Password Security.
Command Purpose

Enter the show running-config command to verify that MD5 password encryption has been enabled. If the "username name secret 5" line appears in the command output, the Enhanced Password Security feature is enabled.
Configuration Examples
This section provides the following configuration example:
•Configuring MD5 Encryption on a Clear Text Password Example
Configuring MD5 Encryption on a Clear Text Password Example
The following example configures username "abc" with the MD5 encrypted password "xyz". Output from the show running-config confirms that the MD5 encrypted password has been configured.

Output from the show running-config confirms that the MD5 encrypted password has been configured. Note that the password itself is not displayed.Router# configure terminalRouter(config)# username cde secret 5 $1$feb0$a104Qd9UZ./Ak00KTggPD0Router(config)# exitRouter# show running-config!version 12.0no service single-slot-reload-enableservice timestamps debug uptimeservice timestamps log uptimeno service password-encryption!hostname CE!logging rate-limit console 10 except errorsno logging consoleenable secret 5 $1$feb0$a104Qd9UZ./Ak00KTggPD0!username cde secret 5!ip subnet-zero...
Command Reference
This section documents the modified command that configures the Enhanced Password Security feature. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command reference publications.
username (secret)
To encrypt a user password with MD5 encryption, use the username secret command in global configuration mode.
username name secret {0 password | 5 encrypted-secret}
Syntax Description
Specifies the user name.
0 password
Specifies a clear text password, which will be MD5 encrypted.
5 encrypted-secret
Specifies an MD5 encrypted text string, which will be stored as the encrypted user password.
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Release Modification
This command was introduced.
The following keywords and arguments were added:
•username name [callback-dialstring telephone-number]
•username name [callback-rotary rotary-group-number]
•username name [callback-line [tty] line-number [ending-line-number]]
•username name [nocallback-verify]
The following keywords were added:
•secret 0
•secret 5
Usage Guidelines
Use the username secret command to configure a user name and MD5 encrypted user password.Use the 0 keyword to enable MD5 encryption on a clear text password. Use the 5 keyword to enter an MD5 encryption string and save it as the userMD5 encrypted secret. MD5 encryption is a strong encryption method which is not retrievable. You cannot use MD5 encryption with protocols such as CHAP that require clear-text passwords.
Use the username secret command to provide an additional layer of security over the username password. The username secret command provides better security by encrypting the password using non-reversible MD5 encryption, and storing the encrypted text. The added layer of MD5 encryption is useful in environments where the password crosses the network or is stored on a TFTP server.
Use MD5 as the encryption type if you paste into this command an encrypted password that you copied from a router configuration file.
Caution If you specify MD5 encryption and then enter a clear text password, you will not be able to reenter enable mode. You cannot recover a lost password that has been encrypted by any method.
If you use the same password for the enable password and username secret commands, you receive an error message warning that this practice is not recommended, but the password will be accepted. By using the same password, however, you undermine the additional security the username secret command provides.
The following example configures username "abc" and enables MD5 encryption on the clear text password "xyz":username abc secret 0 xyz
The following example configures username "cde" and enters an MD5 encrypted text string that is stored as the user name password:username cde secret 5 $1$feb0$a104Qd9UZ./Ak00KTggPD0
Related Commands
Command Description
enable password
Sets a local password to control access to various privilege levels.
enable secret
Specifies an additional layer of security over the enable password command.
Establishes a username-based authentication system.
CHAP—Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol
MD5—Message Digest 5. Algorithm used for message authentication in SNMP v.2. MD5 verifies the integrity of the communication, authenticates the origin, and checks for timeliness.

Who are the Shakers?
Letter Announcing the Death of Brother John Vining
The following letter was sent to Shaker Workshops by Betty Smith of Georgia, to be included in our web site. She states, "The letter was sent by my grandfather, Josiah, to his brother John Vining II and wife Fanny announcing the death of their father, John Vining I, who died at the Shaker Village mentioned in the letter."
Spelling is as found in the letter.
New Lebanon Oct 15th 1827
Brother it has been a number of years since I wrote to you, but present circumstances makes it my duty to write; the occasion of my writing is somewat sorrowful; it is to inform you of the suddn death of my Father; with some of the preceding circumstances. He lived at the same House where you last visited him; on the 29th Sept, he was in company with two aged men at work about a mile from home on the mountain, about 2 O'clock he manifested more than common anxiety to go home early; as it was Saturday, he said he must go and do some choars such as preparing wood for the Sabbath. he invited one of the men to take charge of his ax, told him it was a good ax, but he did not know that he should ever use it anymore. He came home did some choars, and as it was not yet night, he took an ax and went about 18 rods from the house and went to cutting down a beach tree on the steep bank of a small brook; he was heard chopping but a short time before the shell sounded for supper, But as he did not come to supper after a little while it excited some anxiety in the family concerning him and search being made he was found dead. It appears that he fell and the bank was so steep that he went about 18 feet before he stoped. A Coroner was called and a jury of inquest was holden. The jury was from Pittsfield and the following was their virdect. Taken from the Pittsfield paper.
Died in Lebanon at the East family of the united society of Shakers a man by the name of John Vining, was found dead on the night of the 29th ult, aged 66. He was formerly of Leyden Mass. A jury of inquest was holden on him and a verdict found of accidental death.
Time wates for no man neither does any man know the hour when he shall be called neither knows the manner of his dissolution therefore it is all important that he by a Godly life is prepared at anytime. The surviving part of the family are in a middling state of health at the present. Farewell from Josiah.

Editor's Note: John Randall Vining, son of Josiah and Hannah Abigail (Dawes) Vining, was born 26 Jul 1761 in Norton, Massachusetts. He married Rachel (——-) before 1781. Before joining the Shakers, they had six children, of whom five lived and died as Shakers at the New Lebanon, New York Shaker community. As reported above, he died 29 Sep 1827 in New Lebanon, New York.

2018 Subaru Outback
Since its turn up in the around year 2014, the next gen of Subaru Outback is ready to launch to the public a couple of years ahead. Subaru for few decades has transformed to be one of the eminent Asia car manufacturers among the top lines of world companies. With the new release of 2018 Subaru Outback in the global auto market, the car maker has assured to bring the significant changes and new features for this fabulous crossover SUV. Current reports state the upcoming vehicle will have a new impressive appearance and significant additional components to reach the perfection.
2018 Subaru Outback Changes
Presently, just a little information can be figured out about the changes of the car's platform. However, some assume that the upcoming SUV will not carry the big revamps. For sure, the external body will be way better that its forerunner. Several enhancements will be highlighted to the front part of the car comprising the new grille, upgraded headlights, and also compact bumper. For the outback, the taillights and bumper will be redesigned. Distinct to its exterior, some beautifications to the interior might be more obviously noticed. The need to offer a complete infotainment system and security is still becoming the primary consideration. So we could expect that the future 2018 Subaru Outback will be modernized along high-tech components and sophisticated assistant tools. Moreover, the central element will have renewed design and be upholstered with high-end materials.
As the information about car's engine has not officially determined, there are some options for the future powertrain. The first version will be a 2.5-liter boxer 4 cylinder capable of generating the output of 175 horsepower with 174 lb-ft of torque. Another engine option expected to have more powerful energy and better fuel economy will be a 3.6-liter boxer 6 cylinders. The automaker is suggested to engage this engine for the new 2018 Subaru Outback as to provide a tough and beefy SUV car.
2018 Subaru Outback Release Date and Price
The ongoing speculation has indicated that the car release date will take place in around the year 2017. Due to the specific value is not confirmed, experts would say the basic 2018 Subaru Outback price will go around $22,500. It is worth to wait.

It's possible that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the military junta that has ruled Egypt since Hosni Mubarak was overthrown last February, will regain the initiative but it will be very difficult. After months of whittling away at the momentum and morale of the revolutionary movement with arrests, torture and the suppression of protests and strikes - including committing a massacre against minority Copts protesting against sectarian terror that left 24 dead, by last week it seemed that SCAF had the upper hand.
But SCAF demonstrated once again that great historical lesson, that arrogant rulers who are contemptuous and out of touch with those over whom they rule will inevitably push too far. In this case it was their announced intention to implement constitutional amendments that would have elevated the military above the state, shielding it from oversight of its budget and granting it a veto over any civilian policies that affected it. It's worth noting that the military is not just confined to the military but owns and controls about one-third of the Egyptian economy. Their violent attack on the tiny, remaining encampment in Tahrir Square last Saturday was the final straw.
The re-emergence of the revolution's momentum has been so swift and so overwhelming that it has caught everyone by surprise. The military's response - to send in the hard cops, the Central Security Force - to suppress the swelling protests with a carte blanche on the use of violence backfired even further. It is a useful reminder that a revolution needs an enemy to battle and while the nibbles of repressive attrition can sap the will, a frontal assault, on the other hand, can provide a stable target on which people can focus their anger. As I write there may well be one million people in Tahrir Square demanding the overthrow of the military council that was loved and supported as an ally of the revolution only a few months ago.
What is even more surprising in this new phase is the apparent fracturing of the base of the Muslim Brotherhood. Around for a century, the MB have long been the largest and best organized oppositional force in Egypt. Millions follow the MB, which has hundreds of thousands of disciplined members. But the brutality of the Mubarak dictatorship made the MB appear more radical than they actually were and now that space has opened up for the possibility of real and profound change, the MB are demonstrating that they weren't so very radical after all. On the one hand, it doesn't do to be dismissive of the MB as a bunch of counter-revolutionaries, not only because tens of thousands of their members have played important and leading roles in the present revolution even against the wishes of their leaders. But also because it misses the point that the MB's quietism and desire to keep its head down and focus on the elections is, in part, a function of the experience of holding together an oppositional organization under a dictatorship where leaders and cadre suffered imprisonment and torture. The conservatism that was necessary in normal times now appears as pure opportunism when the political arena has been so radically transformed.
The irony of this new phase of the revolution is that it may well not only destroy the SCAF as the ruling force in the country - and profoundly weaken the command structure as middle level officers appear to be going over to the revolution in growing numbers. It may also shatter the long standing centre of opposition to the military.
The American government clearly sees this process unfolding and is panicking a bit at the direction the revolution could take its largest Arab ally - recipient of $1.3 billion in military aid every year (like the tear gas and rubber bullets being used on protestors). Remember back in January when vice president Joe Biden said in an interview that Mubarak was "our" friend and wasn't a dictator? Remember how Hilary Clinton preached a process of slow reform involving Mubarak? How Obama said nothing? They've learned to that they need to get ahead of the curve in order to control the revolutionary process - as they did in Libya where the "revolutionary government" is a pliant client regime for the west. And they clearly now understand that once things degenerate to a certain point, repression only makes things worse, something that the SCAF seems to have missed. But, given their preference for dictatorships over democracies the White House must think that things are pretty bad to come out publicly in support of the demands of the revolution.

Saturday, January 7, 2012
Sometime after our yummy brown rice and broccoli lunch, I mustered up the energy to drive down the access road to the health food store. And because Christopher had decided that he wanted to scrub the stairs with boiling water (hey- whatever it takes to get this house ready) and the two younger ones were down for naps, I thought maybe bringing the oldest along as a helper might be nice.
Our shopping list looked something like this:
-chia seeds
-coconut sugar
-dried strawberries
-date rolls
-organic coffee
-flax puffs
-green crunchies
-goat cheese
And of course there were a few things not on the list that found their way into our cart- things that either I forgot to write down, or decided worthy along the way.
And wait- did I just say "goat cheese" ??
I hate goats, by the way.
Its been so long since I stood before a shelf of yogurt, I didn't even remember what I was looking for once I got there. Eleanore picked out a few flavors of coconut yogurt for herself and brother and sister to have, and I grabbed a cup of plain goats yogurt to toss into a morning smoothie.
I need milk sugars? I don't remember why, but- we'll start with just a spoonful a day, for a few days, and we'll go from there? I don't have high hopes, but I do have trust.
Elie got a little out of control towards the end of the shopping trip. She had been carrying around an over sized macaroon cookie the entire time, knowing that if she was good, I'd let her have it. So every time she got too crazy, I reminded her "theres a cookie in your hands, and it could be in your mouth if you bring it back down a notch!".
And that totally worked.
Heh. Bribery.
A nice little outting- for the kingdom of girls.

What's the desktop application most commonly used? For a great majority of persons the answer is simple: the browser. The omnipresent browser has begun not to be perceived as an application anymore: instead, it's the container where web applications run.
Although there's still plenty of space for desktop applications,
they can't be thought as stand-alone any longer. Users continuously
rely on Internet as a source of information and desktop applications had to learn to use Internet as if it were a database.
Browsers and web developers probably learnt that before: Web
Services and the AJAX paradigm being just the last trends in the
industry. Vendors have been implementing similar technologies in their
SDKs and the boundary between web-technologies and general purpose
framework gets thinner day by day.
I just remember when JAX-* specifications were being integrated into
Java2 Enterprise Edition: nowadays you can hardly think of a Java
desktop application not leveraging JAX-WS or JAX-RS.
Many vendors have being trying to port web technologies on the desktop and the major players in this are are:
- Adobe, with Adobe AIR
- Sun Microsystems with JavaFX framework
- Google, with Google Gears
I've being intensively using Gears-powered applications just because
I'm a faithful Google applications user. I must say that I'm pretty
happy with it and that in this sense Google is probably making one step
more in this direction with its Google Chrome OS. Nowadays, although
Google Chrome still is a browser, it really acts as an environment for Google Gears applications.
As far as it concerns JavaFX, I've played a little with it with my
NetBeans and I must say that I'm impressed. Java SE and Java EE already
have all of the pieces you need to build rich internet applications and
JavaFX goes one step further: it's a platform that aims to support a
variety of devices (browsers, mobile phones, gaming consoles and so
Adobe AIR is impressive: although I never wrote any line of of code, I've seen some applications and, just as anything-Adobe, great hype is given to integration with Flex/Flash applications.
Which one should I go with?
Although every framework has got its own peculiar advantages, such a
decision depends on many factors, such as your needs and your
One of the fundamental advantages of web applications is their
platform-independence (usually). Yes, there are many glitches depending
on the browser you're using but nowadays the situation is pretty
satisfactory, at least as far as it concerns an application
functionality. Such an independence is achieved by means of the
browser, which is the container in which such an application is
executed. Taking an application out of the browser is complex and in
that process you run the risk of reducing an application's portability.
That's the original sin of many frameworks, such as Adobe AIR.
I strongly believe in portability and that's something I'm
never going to sacrifice easily and when I do the requirement must be
compelling. That's why I always go with Java.
Let alone enterprise-level technologies supported by Java Enterprise Edition, Java gives you the basic tools you need such as:
- A powerful programming language.
- Support for Web Services (JAX-RPC and JAX-WS).
- Support for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS)
- Support for AJAX.
- Integration with databases (JDBC, JPA)
The Java language itself has been recently enhanced by annotations
which are commonly used by specifications and frameworks (such as
Spring) to greatly reduce boilerplate code. EJB 3.0, JPA, JAX-RS,
JavaBeans Validation (JSR-303) are just examples of the
annotation-centric APIs you can use in a Java program just by applying
metadata to your class and letting the framework (or the container) do
the job. POJO-based and annotation based frameworks and APIs greatly
contributed to simplify the programming models previously used: whether
you're developing a web service, a web service client, an interaction
with a DB, an EJB, you're probably producing just POJOs. Reusing such
objects is straightforward: the boundary that existed between the
various kind of Java applications have blurred and nowadays is almost
Moreover, in the incredibly vast ecosystem of Java libraries and
frameworks you're probably going to find everything you need to get the
job done.
When deciding the tools you're going to use to develop your next
application, always consider that there's someone out there who might
not be using your browser or your OS. If you haven't got compelling
reasons, don't shut the door in their face. Users do not understand, sometimes not even with reasons. And they'd just turn to another provider.

Okay I am very excited. I have been planning a flower bed along the back of my house for over a year. My hubby was off of work all last week and it became a reality. I know it is allot of pictures to load but I just have to show it off.
This is a before picture of where i want the flower bad to be.
Here is my hubby tilling the new garden bed so I can plant my flowers.
Here is what it looks like after we finished. It was a long day but I am so glad to have the new flower bed. In a couple of years it will look awesome!!
We worked so hard. now the recycle part…..
1. the ornamental grass came from a lady that was moving, I got it for a song.
2. The scumetia (bush with berries) I got from the same lady for just as cheap
3. got the trellis from a friend that was going to take it to the dump.
4. two clematis flowers from a friend (she didn't want them and they were really root bound in their pots).
5. Bleeding heart I moved from another flower bed were it was getting too much sun.
6. Lucifer tails I got from a girlfriend that thinned hers out last fall
7. the border bricks I got at my local dump thrift shop for 50 cents each..cost 7 bucks.
the only thing I bought at the store was two packs of creeping myrtle for a ground cover and it was 7 bucks for both pots of it.
I love sitting out back now and looking at my very cheap but labor intensive flower bed. My hubby has been fighting me about putting it in, now that it is done he told me that I planned it very well and he likes it….Happy Dance!!!!

Ezra Furman Tickets
Transangelic Exodus, Ezra Furman's second album for Bella Union, is a new landmark for the American singer-songwriter: "not a concept record, but almost a novel, or a cluster of stories on a theme, a combination of fiction and a half-true memoir," according to its author. "A personal companion for a paranoid road trip. A queer outlaw saga."
The music is as much of an intense, dramatic event, full of brilliant hooks, with an equally evolved approach to recorded sound to match Furman's narrative vision. In honour of this shift, his backing band has been newly christened: The Boy-Friends are dead, long live The Visions. In other words, the man who embodies the title of his last album Perpetual Motion People is still on the move... Or in the vernacular of the new album, on the run.

Making Memories:
- We have done everything from Hanukkah, the Passover Seder, and some other Jewish feasts (just for the experience), Thanksgiving, and we have celebrated Christmas with and without a Christmas tree.
- Christmas is a time where today and for almost one hundred years, it has increased in secular traditions. We have chosen not to include Santa and we certainly get turned off to all the materialistic hype.
- You have to choose with your husband's leadership (and not yours), what traditions will be included in your family. I was turned off so badly to the secularized traditions that for a number of years, I influenced my husband's leadership on what he would like to have in our family.
- For a number of years when our children were little, we had a 'Christmas Pageant' that our children put on. One year, our youngest son was born a week before Christmas and he was 'baby Jesus.' My oldest son would write the script and one tired mom would watch their production. This is a wonderful memory that we all still talk about.
- When I first was married, I had never ever made a Christmas cookie. Ever. I didn't even know that there was such a thing. We had to bring cookies for a couples' Christmas Party. Wow, those were the ugliest cut-out cookies ever made!! Too bad I don't have a picture of them!! Since then, I have been making Christmas cookies for our family, involving my children and even my sons when they were young. We do more than get on a sugar high, we have always taken cookies to neighbors and homeschooling friends. It became quite a tradition that we still do. Another wonderful memory!!
I could share forever of making memories with my family. What memories have you made and what ones will you include this year?

Tracing the Rise of Software Testing
Bangalore: 21st century has seen an almost exponential growth in technology. In this era where software is paramount, it is crucial to have a strong control over quality and ensure customer satisfaction. This need to have quality software has given rise to concepts like software validation and verification. Many methods have been devised to achieve this, like reviews, inspections and Software Quality Assurance (SQA).
SQA (Software Quality Assurance) is gaining popularity every day. What used to be an add-on has become a requirement today. The task of software testing is costly, in terms of time, money and manpower. Usually almost 50 percent of the company's software production costs could be taken up by software testing. The debugging procedure is an extremely volatile element of the testing procedure where a discrepancy of just 0.01 percent could take months to rectify. The valuable outcome of all the effort and money expended is the trust that the consumer has in the product and the software company that developed it.
Earlier in the mid 20th century, software testing was not identified or separated from the rest of the software development process. Developing software only had two main phases, first the developers would conduct an initial analysis and then they would code an application. The concept of people specializing in a field to check the working of the software was deemed unnecessary. As time progressed, many steps were added to the evolution of software and the fields of software development and software testing became different branches. IT industry has undergone a transformation due to software testing and Quality Assurance. Many tools have also been invented to automate many tasks involved in quality assurance.
The success of software testing ultimately depends on the interactions between the people who produce the software and those who test it.

Become The Master Of Applying Spatial Regression Modelsback
Although the classical econometric methods provide information on the geographic distribution of poverty, they do not take into account the spatial dependence of the data and generally they do not consider any environmental information. Therefore, methods which use spatial analysis tools are required to explore such spatial dimensions of poverty and its linkages with the environmental conditions. This study investigates an approach based on the spatial regression model, for mapping poverty in Ecuador. It also documents the use and impact of such an approach and the opportunities it offers.
Following a brief introduction, the study reviews two econometric methods that are widely used for analysing poverty and compares their results with the results obtained by the spatial regression method. The differences in numerical results were not large, but statistically significant for the Ecuador data. The study also includes a simulation study on sensitivity analysis for scenarios for public policy intervention.
Keywords: poverty mapping, spatial regression model, Ecuador, statistical estimation, GIS

Operation Northwoods is a quartet featuring Hashem Assadullahi on saxophone, Douglas Detrick on trumpet, Andrew Oliver on piano, and Dan Duval on guitar that plays jazz with a chamber music-sensitivity to timbre and group interaction. The band began in the Pacific Northwest, where Portland, Oregon's busy jazz scene was fertile ground for this collaboration between friends. Each of the group's members contribute compositions so that each performance is an unpredictable mix of styles, but all make inventive use of each member's unique sound and improvisational voice. The group's name comes from the code name of the 1962 CIA plan to provoke war with Castro's Cuba by staging terrorist attacks on American soil. Operation Northwoods takes this name partly to ridicule a regretful part of American history, but also to invoke the rainy and green Pacific Northwest where folks worry more about their craft beers and vegan pastries than communist hysteria. Don't fear the music, comrades!

Bird is the Worm, 5/10/2013:
With The Bureau of Fiction, the chamber jazz ensemble Operation Northwoods has created one of those special albums that hovers like a lullaby on the edge of sleep, yet crackles with a liveliness that prevents anything resembling snores from manifesting. This is one of the major challenges that chamber jazz ensembles struggle to overcome… that balance between the serene and the strident, of performing music of a thick presence that one can drift off to. Too much in the direction of either pole, and the music sounds lopsided, hobbled by an element that was intended to be a strength… resulting in music that is either overly fussy and distracting or comes off as hollow and without substance.
Operation Northwoods gets the ratio just right.
Immediately springing to mind is the music of composer-keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, who, like Operation Northwoods, has shared time as a resident of both the Pacific-Northwest and NYC scenes, and who is a master of merging elements of jazz, classical, pop, and the avant-garde into recordings of sonorous music that inspire wakefulness. Operation Northwoods represents a new generation of musicians and composers connected to that lineage.
There are the conflicted emotional cues. "54 40 or Flight" is a carefree tune, light on its toes. A blithe predisposition toward a sunny outlook, even as it wraps itself in a dark cloak of muted enthusiasm. "One" takes a methodical approach to delivering the melody. It could be described as ponderous if not for the fact that notes fall with the delicacy of snowflakes.
Detrick is best when he gets a punchy attitude on trumpet, but there are moments when he breaks free and joins the saxophone's flight pattern, and together offer up a soaring harmony that's just pretty enough to make a listener swoon.
And like the best chamber jazz albums, many of the compositions are complex entities expressed with an illusory simplicity. The title-track "The Bureau of Fiction" changes things up a few times in its eight minutes of play time. Switching from a spastic tempo to a luxuriant harmonic expression, to wending trails that have the quartet members persistently crossing paths, and then repeat at will. And, yet, it all is made to sound so simple. It's this kind of compositional touch that can make an album so terribly engaging, both as a cerebral exercise and as a supplication to the emotions of the heart.
Duval's guitar adds some nifty texture both as a harmonic and rhythmic tool, but it's when he gets out front and cuts a thin curved path that he adds the most to the character of this recording.
The spry "Zeppelin Ride Pt. 2″ has a jaunty melody and cadence to match. It's a song for an afternoon walk through the park on a sunny afternoon. "Saturn's Return" is a slow gentle midnight lullaby.
Assadullahi glides through songs with grace and warmth. He's best when taking long slow strides, then entering melodic glides that could go on forever.
"Getting Got" has a hypnotic mechanism in a convoluted tide not unlike the odd trance-like repetition of a washing machine's uneven cycle.
Oliver stretches out on piano and contributes some pretty thrilling moments, but it's those times when he delivers well-timed succinct phrases that resonate most profoundly on this album.
Whether sounding in unison, as on the unpretentious "One," or as many, like at times on "Operation Northwoods Pt.2″ and "The Bureau of Fiction," it always sounds like a singular expression of thought, of viewpoint, of creative vision. That mutability lends itself perfectly to an environment where the complex requires a simple interface, where peacefulness and dissonance must coexist in harmony. Balance. And it's characteristics such as that is why The Bureau of Fiction is an unmitigated success.

Anyone familiar with the basic tenets of cardiac health can tell you that controlling stress is key to maintaining a healthy heart. According to the American Heart Association, high levels of stress have been linked to many factors that could harm your heart - everything from high blood pressure to elevated cholesterol levels. Though we'll never be able to completely eliminate stress in our lives, learning how to minimize it and deal with it properly can help to bolster our overall health and wellbeing. If you're looking for better ways to manage your stress, consider these tips.
Move away from the problem
According to Everyday Health, one of the best things you can do for stress is simply to remove yourself from the situation causing the stress. For example, if you find yourself in a heated argument with a family member, it's often best to just walk away (no matter how badly you want to prove to them that you are right). Of course, this is easier said than done.
One good way to get away from stressful situations is with a distraction or hobby that you can immerse yourself in during periods of high stress. You may want to take up exercise. This way, when something gets you all riled up you can just grab your running shoes and hit the pavement. Not only will you remove yourself from a stressful situation or argument, but you'll also benefit your heart and body by working out.
Manage your lifestyle factors
One of the ugly truths about stress is that it often leads us to engage in behaviors that are detrimental to our health. For example, individuals experiencing great levels of stress will likely be inclined to drink to excess, use tobacco products or binge on junk food, all of which are bad for your health. It's especially important for individuals with heart conditions to learn to curb the desire to engage in these behaviors during periods of stress. Take a few minutes and clear your mind by focusing on your breathing. You may find that this allows you to begin working through the problem logically, instead of immediately turning to something unhealthy that you'll probably regret.
Therapy and counseling
Many people are helped by regular therapy or counseling sessions with a professional. Even if you feel that you can handle your stress on your own, talking things over with a psychologist or counselor can help you understand more thoroughly the things that cause you to feel anger and stress. Over time, this may help you to avoid the situations that are causing these problems and also deal with them in a more productive and reasonable manner.

Tagaytay is host to Taal Volcano; proclaimed as "World's Smallest Volcano!" It also has a FANTASTIC zipline! So we set out with the three kids to enjoy the day at Picnic Grove overlooking the Taal Volcano. It was so much fun even though the weather was cloudy and we couldn't get any great shots.
My son, Brendon, and I were the first ones to brave the zipline. Now, I will admit that ziplining is probably not on my neurologist's approved list of things to do. However the zipline is not at a steep angle so the ride isn't very fast. It was designed so that one could enjoy the views as they fly through the air. First and foremost, they strap you in really, really well. So you feel very secure even though you are laying there hanging from a cable. For us ladies, they even strap your purse in with you so you don't have to worry about where you are going to leave it while flying!
There is such a sense of freedom while flying. For those few moments, I was not longer some girl with a chronic condition. I was merely enjoying flying like a bird through the sky and over the valleys of the mountains. There was a cool breeze blowing from the Taal Lake and I had no worries. This experience is one I will remember for the rest of my life. I am so grateful to be able to share it with my son, my future husband and his two beautiful girls!
Arnold's youngest daughter decided that flying thru the air in a sling was just wasn't her style whether on her tummy or sitting in the sling. She wanted no part of it. Therefore, we opted to take the family cable car over and since she was able to hang on to daddy she decided she could enjoy it. You can clearly see that by the huge smile on her face that she is truly enjoying the moment. She doesn't normally smile for the camera so this is a very precious moment. You can also tell that we aren't your typical family. But our love caught us off guard and it's changed all of our lives for the better. My blessings are great!

Papa Massata Diack, son of former president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Lamine Diack was grilled by Senegalese officers on Wednesday.
#Sénégal #Kebetu Papa Massata Diack convoqué à la DIC https://t.co/0O0pleObIl— Senego.com (@senego) February 15, 2016
For several hours Massata Diack, a former IAAF marketing consultant was questioned in relation with graft blanketing at the world athletics body.
He was banned for life last month by the world athletics body and is accused of extortion in several Russian doping cases.
An international alert was issued by Interpol in January following an arrest warrant by France. Nevertheless, Senegal has said they will not extradite Massata Diack.
On the other hand, his father was found responsible by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) for organizing and facilitating the conspiracy and corruption in the athletics governing body.

IN THE BEGINNING!!!!!! (Well, kinda …)
So, with this being my very first post I feel compelled to give a short introduction for the five of you who may read it. Daniel Emery Taylor: actor, writer, paranormal investigator, loving husband, doting stepfather, dirt road alum of Auburn University, dog enthusiast, pimp. I'm also a follower of Messianic Judaism, a Calvinist, and probably one of the least pious Bible commentators you'll ever read. As much as I love and adore my Messiah and as strong as my faith in Him is, I am woefully aware of just how much I fuck up on a daily basis. I know that, apart from Him, I can accomplish no good and my entire existence is vanity. This knowledge amplifies just how in awe of Him I am. He loves me (and you!) in spite of the flaws.
And if it bothers you that I used "fuck" in the first paragraph I'm probably not the 'blog writer for you. I believe in full disclosure with God. Too many people walk the earth wearing a proverbial mask, thinking they can hide the ugliness from their Maker. He knows me. He knows my ugly thoughts. I'm not putting on a show. This is real.
One last tidbit before I get into the meat of my discussion: in recent years, one of my favorite verses has become Luke 18:13-14. "… the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted." Chisel that junk on my tombstone. I live by His mercy and grace.
And now … why I'm here …
I enjoy reading different translations of the Bible because the different wording often brings to light things I may have overlooked previously. I've started a new one (the Holman Christian Standard Bible) so I figured this would be a great time to record some thoughts on the text as I read through. This isn't going to cover every detail. Hell, I probably won't even hit all of the major stuff. I just get funny thoughts … often little philosophical things … and thought that others may get something out of them. Ready?
"IN THE BEGINNING …" Wow, those are some mightily epic words. It's a shame they're really vague. In the beginning of what? God has no beginning. In our beginning? We know that angels (and probably demons) pre-date "Creation," so the beginning begins to sound like no beginning at all. Is it the beginning of time? The beginning of the universe? The beginning of the earth?
I maintain that the Scriptures are absolutely true and without error in their original forms. I also maintain that our interpretations are probably way off in some instances. The six-day creation is something that so many evangelicals dig their heels in on, but I think it becomes an issue of unnecessary contention. I believe in a literal six-day creation because I have no reason to believe otherwise. (I'm a proponent of the idea that God created a mature earth, rendering much of our dating processes irrelevant. That's a whole different issue, though.) However, I remain open-minded enough to understand that I am not omnipotent and could be wrong. The first three chapters of Genesis are poetic enough to be open to interpretation. The fact that they may not be literal does not mean they are not correct.
The Bible does not attempt to be an exhaustive history of the world. The point is how to reconcile ourselves to God. The rest of it is just background. It's not a science book. It's not a history book. It's not a math book. Yes, it contains elements of many of these subjects but that isn't its aim. The point is to show us how much God loves us and how we can please Him. People get hung up on the trivial issues. Adam and Eve were the first people … but were they the only people? Was Cain's wife his sister? Are Adam and Eve only the first people in reference to the Hebrews? I don't know and God didn't feel the need to make it any more clear than that. He told us stuff on a "need to know" basis. Otherwise, if He told us everything, the Bible would weigh eighty-three pounds and nobody would ever read it. And the stuff He left out doesn't matter. If they found a fully formed fleshy monkey man, a missing link, frozen in a block of ice it would do absolutely nothing to my faith. I would just accept that my interpretation was wrong and move on. It wouldn't change a damn thing.
Of course, I don't think they'll ever find that fleshy monkey man.
So, to sum up the first five chapters of Genesis: God created everything. He then put humans here. He gave us one simple commandment and we were too stupid to listen to Him.
Most everyone knows the story of the Garden of Eden, but I wanted to point out one issue of interest: the Bible never says the serpent in the Garden was Satan. There is absolutely nothing in the text that implies that he is anything other than a talking snake. I'll wait here while you go double-check me.
I won't go into detail, because I have another project detailing many of the misconceptions we have about the Accuser, but one thing really strikes me about this. Earlier translations use the wording that Eve was "beguiled." That carries a connotation of some magical influence. For thousands of years, we've tried using "the Devil made me do it" as a viable excuse. That may have worked for Flip Wilson but it won't work for you. The Devil didn't make you do a damn thing. You did. Eve wasn't glamored by the mighty lord of the underworld. She was tricked by a talking snake. That rightfully makes her sound like a dumbass.
And so it is with humanity. We constantly do the wrong thing, the dangerous thing, and the futile thing against all good common sense, against good advice, and against historical outcome. We are too stupid, arrogant, and hard-headed. We don't need the Devil to possess us or blind us with the dark arts. We screw up just fine all on our own. The human heart is wicked, depraved, and selfish above all things.

Most Bibles weigh 2 pounds or less and we still don't read it. What is it about this time of year that makes you want to blog? 🙂

Love your blog! Please keep writing it as you see it. 🙂

In the beginning= time, God created the heavens= space, and earth= matter. The 3 elements that make up the Universe= single spoken sentence. Said in 7 words in Hebrew= divine authorship/perfection. 7 days in the week, 7 continents, oceans, colors in a rainbow, musical notes on a scale, and many more! Our Father is awesome and creative, loving but just, He will bless and curse according to His Word. He is a Father and father's love on and punish, protect and defend but also vindicate and demolish enemies. : ) Good read. Food for thought.

I was totally inspired by the January 2010 online extra available through Stampin' Success (a SU! demonstrator only publication). When I saw the picture in the magazine, I knew I would have to give them a try. Although they took hours to make, they were so fun and so different than things I usually make.I love shabby, vintage, feminine styles. I made a total of 4 hats and will use them at a friend's house for New Year's festivities tomorrow night. I will give one to each of the girls at the party. I hope they enjoy them and will use them at least for decoration in years to come.
I stamped a flourish on patterned paper with versa mark. Covered images with Heat and Stick Powder and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter- "Man, I used nearly an entire bottle". I cut the 12x12 paper in half diagonally then rolled the sides to form a cone shape. I used Sticky Strip to adhere all. I cut strips of paper and fringed the edges (like grass) and also added fringed newspaper behind the other paper strips. I made paper pinwheels (behind buttons), Butterflies (sizzix original diecut- SU! exclusive design), stamped word strips, and attached all with hot glue gun. I added felt flowers ( SU! flower fusion- retired), rhinestone brads (SU!), snowflakes, buttons, wire, beads, and more glitter (DD SU!) to finish everything.
Here's a close up of the paper pinwheel, one of the butterflies, a snowflake, and some of the paper fringe detail on the lower portion of the hat. Thanks for stopping by, Happy New Year!!!!!

Park Requests Ideas Concerning Weeds [AUDIO]
Yellowstone National Park is asking for comments and questions and ideas about how it deals with weeds, invasive plants. Park ecosystem makes invasive plants an important issue:
"A lot of what we need to analyze and what we need to hear from the public about is how we might go about controlling these unwelcome and uninvited plants, and being respectful of the soils, the existing vegetation, the wildlife, and the visitors."
Yellowstone Spokesman Al Nash says they are routinely addressing invasive plants in areas throughout the park, but the scoping process is the first clean-slate, big-picture look at the issue.
Scoping process about weed mitigation:
"We have a desire in this case to come up with a plan to address invasive plants like spotted napweed. This is the time where we go to you, the members of the public, and say: what you think; what have you seen that's important; what he you know that has worked for you; what do you think we should consider as we work on developing that plan?"
Mr. Nash likened to the challenge to controlling weeds with a home garden or lawn, but the area is the 2.2 million acres of Yellowstone, so the more ideas the better.
Where to submit ideas:
"We actually take letters, Box 168, Yellowstone 82190 or you know if you like to go on the Web you can go to parkplanning.nps.gov/yell and you'll find a link on there that you can electronically submit some suggestions and comments."
The deadline for submitting comments is 12-midnight April 30th.
