The specter of anarchism is haunting statist and capitalist culture and politics in the 21st century. Anarchism—the idea that people can organize their lives on the basis of justice and equality free from political and economic rulers—has provided inspiration for a variety of contemporary social movements. Yet anarchism remains a misunderstood and misrepresented philosophy. A Creative Passion, edited by a longtime anarchist activist and scholar, offers important insights into anarchist cultural practices and worldviews.The classical anarchist Mikhail Bakunin famously proclaimed that the passion for destruction is also a creative passion. Anarchists over the decades have sought to destroy the tyrannical, authoritarian, exploitative, and oppressive aspects of statist and capitalist societies and culture, while creating alternatives based on solidarity, justice, care, and mutual aid.This innovative work provides exciting perspectives on current movements and ideas that seek a world free from authoritarian domination. It will be a welcome resource for students, faculty, artists, and community organizers alike. Chapters examine anarchism and dada, drama and anarchy, eco-anarchism and critiques of capitalist civilization, DIY and anarcho-punk assaults on corporate culture industries, and Wole Soyinka's anarchism.
Jeff Shantz has extensive experience as an anarchist community organizer. His publications include numerous articles in movement publications including Anarchy, Social Anarchism, Green Anarchy, Earth First! Journal, Northeastern Anarchist, Industrial Worker, Anarcho-Syndicalist Review, Onward, Arsenal and Processed World. In addition he has published in such academic journals as Feminist Review, Critical Sociology, Critique of Anthropology, Capital and Class, Feminist Media Studies and Environmental Politics. His book Constructive Anarchy: Building Infrastructures of Resistance (Ashgate, 2010) is a groundbreaking analysis of contemporary anarchist movements. He received his PhD in Sociology from York University in Toronto, Canada. He is currently a Professor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Vancouver, Canada, and teaches courses on critical theory, elite deviance, community advocacy and human rights.

This article describes how to test and monitor signal strength and throughput on a Cisco Meraki wireless network. This can be especially useful when determining MR Access Point placement during network setup and site surveys.
Connect a wireless client to the network
Using a wireless client (ie. Laptop) with an up-to-date browser, locate the network's SSID and connect.
Connect to the AP Status Page and test Real-Time Signal Strength
Each of Cisco Meraki's Access Points has a self-hosted status page which contains certain tools that can be used for testing. Navigate to http://my.meraki.com (This should take you to the device's "Local Status Page"). Under Your connection the Signal strength between the client AP will be indicated. It is recommended that the client's signal strength be above 12dB for basic speeds. Signal strength over 30dB is recommended for high speeds.
Perform Local Throughput Testing
From the http://my.meraki.com/ page, click on Speed test along the top. This will present a tool for testing throughput between the client and AP. Click Run speed test to perform a speed test to the AP.
Evaluate your Test Results

The Northern Ireland Branch was formed in June 2000 and membership has increased steadily since.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month in The Botanic Inn ("The Bot") on the Malone Road, Belfast, starting at 8pm and also every time SAFC plays live on SKY (we watch in "The Bot").
Prospective new members are always welcome to attend these meetings without any obligation.
A lot of people in Northern Ireland either support Sunderland or have a soft spot for them. That includes NI natives as well as some members originally hailing from the Sunderland area who have settled over here.
One reason why so many folk over here support the Lads is because many former SAFC players originally hailed from Northern Ireland, amongst them being Billy Bingham, Martin Harvey, Johnny Crossan, John Parke, Jim Grattan, Tippy Gray, George McCartney and Anton Rogan. SAFC also continues to scout young talent from N Ireland and in recent years Trevor Carson and Robbie Weir from over here have been on SAFC's books. Northern Ireland international David Healy – a hero in Northern Ireland after his exploits against England and Spain – also had a spell at the club – although unfortunately things didn't work out too well for him.
Plus of course we in Northern Ireland had a very big reason for supporting Sunderland until only recently – Martin O'Neill. Martin is very well respected in NI and across world football, and it was too bad that things didn't work out for the self-professed Sunderland supporter.
A further link with Northern Ireland at the Club is Margaret Byrne, SAFC's CEO. Ms Byrne is building a strong reputation in English footballing circles, as a shrewd businesswoman – being hailed as "one of the most influential women in British football" after joining the FA Council.
Northern Ireland Branch social events each year include a Quiz night in May, open to other NI Supporters Clubs of Premiership, Championship and Nationwide teams and a Xmas dinner. Various other events are organised in the course of each season, such as guest speaker nights – Mick Horswill has been over, as have Bobby Kerr and Eric Gates.
Fundraisers, including an annual ballot are also held and are all successful; and donations to appeals (such as the Statue for Stokoe appeal). In the thirteen years that the Quiz has been running, we have raised thousands of pounds for charity. Regular guests at the quiz include the supporters' associations of Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Man Utd, Man City, Ipswich, Burnley, Leeds, West Ham and many others.
Regular trips to the SoL are organised by the club and we even have some season ticket holders as members – even though we have the Irish Sea to negotiate to get there!! It can be expensive being a football supporter from here!!
Haway the Lads!

CC commit keeps 'getting better and better'
October 5, 2012 Leave a comment
Colorado College 2013 commit Jaccob Slavin of Erie, Colo, has made big strides in a short time with the USHL's Chicago Steel, which is coached by Colorado Springs' Scott McConnell.
Here is the start of the article:
Better and better.
That is how Chicago Steel head coach Scott McConnell describes defenseman Jaccob Slavin's game.
The 6'1, 175 lbs. defenseman that averaged a point every two games in his first full season in the USHL went overlooked before joining the junior ranks. He wasn't even listed by NHL's Central Scouting before joining the Steel and last year the Carolina Hurricanes drafted him in the fourth round, 120th overall.
"When [Carolina] drafted him, they saw a kid that for some reason is always around the puck," says Chicago head coach Scott McConnell, "and kept getting better and better. I think they got a steal. Jaccob's ceiling is untouchable."

Earlier this week I discovered that some of the house's plumbing needed to be replaced. Remember the big freeze back in 2010? It looks like some of the heating pipes burst and were patched instead of being replaced. With the newer heating systems the system is under higher pressure, so a patchwork of small sections of pipe won't cut it.
Since the floors upstairs were taken up in order to replace all the piping it seemed like a good time to run some ethernet cables. So this is how things are progressing:
You can see in the photo above that there are quite a few joins in those pipes and there's no insulation. It was the same under most of the sections where the original heating pipes were running.
The second photo (above) shows the new pipes. There's over 100 metres of new piping under there, as each radiator needs its own pipe.
You can also see that the ethernet cables have been run. There will be an ethernet outlet in each of the three upstairs bedrooms, as well as one in the attic. I've no idea what I'll use the one in the attic for, but it made sense to put it in while I was getting the other cables put in.
Downstairs is where the VDSL connection comes into the house. Of course there is wifi throughout the house, but I'll also have at least one ethernet outlet in the sitting room. While devices like the Apple TV are wireless, connecting them to ethernet directly can help reduce buffering.
With so many cables and an ever growing number of devices I'll have to get a couple of small 8 port gigabit switches to manage all the connections. Netgear make a range of affordable 5 and 8 port unmanaged switches that are pretty damn cheap. Amazon, for example, are offering the GS208 for about €17.
I plan on using the former downstairs bedroom as my home office / "den". So having a pile of network equipment in one corner of that room makes sense. In the "old house" the cables and related equipment grew organically over the course of more than a decade, so there's now a big mess of cables that I'd be almost afraid to touch. With the new house I'm starting from scratch, so hopefully I'll be able to keep it much neater.
The desk and chair I've been using for the last few years weren't that nice, so I'm upgrading.
Buying brand new Herman Miller chairs is expensive, but there are several companies that specialise in refurbishing them and selling them on at a fraction of the retail price. So instead of paying more €1000 for a single chair, you can probably get 2 or 3 at the same price.
Having a decent desk is something that I've wanted for a long time. Most of the computer desks for home or home office use are "functional", but not aesthetically pleasing. And while I am a fan of functionality, I also wanted something that had a bit of "character". So here's what I've ended up with:
The desk is a 1930s office desk which I got from RetroRumage in Dublin. The top of the desk is covered in a sort of velvet suede, which doesn't come out very clearly in the photo. So no, it isn't stained, that just how it looks after someone (me) running their hand over the surface.
You can also see the Maclamp on the desk. The lamp is one of my eBay finds. Designed in the 1960s for Habitat by English designer Terence Conran, Maclamps are very attractive and the design has withstood the test of time. If you're going to have an office lamp, you might as well have a nice one 🙂
I'll be moving my home desktop computer, as well as my wireless printer and the scanner over to the new space sometime next week hopefully.
Eventually the home office will get shelving that should cover two of the walls. With the volume of books and other stuff that I have I'll need a LOT of shelving!
Now back to packing up my life ..

Abheeti and Amy-Rose have nailed this format from the get-go! No surprise that this light-hearted but informative podcast has attracted such a broad spectrum of guests and listeners from across the industry."
Our goal is to expose the collective brilliance of women in crypto and blockchain projects, and some great men too. The podcast was formed because we butted up against some pretty extreme sexism in the crypto space and decided we wanted to help women find a voice and bring practical applications of these emerging technologies to the expanding audience.
I am the founder and owner of Future Blackboard an educational platform for the new economy.
I have a strong background in I.T. as well as radio hosting, community services and Justice. I am a qualified building designer however my passion is in blockchain and cryptography.

- Oil prices were steady on Friday, supported by traders placing new hedges in the futures market in anticipation of a decline in U.S. crude inventories.
- Prices were held back from advancing by the prospect of rising global supplies.
Oil prices were steady on Friday, supported by traders placing new hedges in the futures market in anticipation of a decline in U.S. crude inventories, but held back from advancing by the prospect of rising global supplies.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $69.06 per barrel at 0421 GMT, up 10 cents from their last settlement.
Brent crude futures were at $73.40 per barrel, down 5 cents from their last close.
Overall U.S. crude oil inventories actually rose by 3.8 million barrels last week to 408.74 million barrels, according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), however stocks at the key Cushing storage hub in Oklahoma fell by 1.3 million barrels, the EIA data showed.
"Hedges (are) thought to be a factor in oil prices being well bid," said Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia-Pacific at futures brokerage OANDA in Singapore.
"There's increasing chatter about … Cushing inventories (being) down … This primary U.S. oil hub's inventory now sits at the lowest levels since 2014," he said.
ANZ bank said on Friday in a note the drop in Cushing inventories were a driver for rising crude oil prices "amid signs that last week's (overall) build in inventories won't last very long."
Even with last week's rise, overall U.S. crude inventories are below the 5-year average of around 420 million barrels.
Bearish factors
There were also factors holding oil markets in check. WTI is heading for a roughly flat week after four weekly falls, while Brent is on track to post a fourth week of declines in five, set for a drop of 1.4 percent.
Analysts said the outlook beyond the short-term was turning bearish.
"Bulls are fighting a losing battle … Brent oil may fall to $67 per barrel," said Reuters technical commodities analyst Wang Tao. Russian oil output rose by 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) in July from a month earlier, to 11.21 million bpd, energy ministry data showed on Thursday.
Output by top exporter Saudi Arabia has also risen recently, to around 11 million bpd, and U.S. production is around that level as well.
Reacting to rising supplies, Saudi Aramco cut its September price for its Arab Light grade for Asian customers by $0.70 a barrel versus August to a premium of $1.20 a barrel to the Oman/Dubai average, it said on Thursday.

As being a good contractor frequently begins with helping clients achieve the amount of success they have in your mind in the beginning of the project. Homeowners is going to be delighted using the effectiveness and efficiency many contractors offer their projects. Professionalism frequently goes a lengthy means by ensuring things go because they are designed to and also the answers are to the standards from the homeowner frequently exceeding what you had expected.
Exterior house painting doesn't have is the chaotic experience that lots of homeowners picture it as being becoming. Because of so many horror tales about bad contractors or complicated projects, homeowners might be reluctant to defend myself against such large do it yourself projects. They might delay doing things as lengthy as you possibly can without thinking about the effects it might dress in the home. Waiting too lengthy between paint jobs and letting the splash of paint lose their freshness could make the home look ugly and can frequently result in the next splash of paint more difficult and sophisticated. This turns into chaos for house owners which are already scared of the work.
Dealing with the painting project when it's about time is frequently the easiest method to avoid these scenarios. Getting a contractor will help solve most of the issues that homeowners face when attempting to defend myself against these projects alone. A specialist can sort out the look from the project, offering advice from their extensive library of understanding and experience. Many contractors have experienced problems appear and disappear through the projects they've labored on, and have competed in how to approach these complaints. This professionalism is frequently precisely what many projects are missing. Helping them undertake do it yourself projects with greater efficiency, the real worth of a specialist frequently exceeds the financial value they hold.
Good communication is frequently the easiest method to make sure that things go easily on the project. Once the contractor and also the homeowner are on a single page and know in which the exterior house painting project is headed, the contractor can act semi-individually. They might not require to inquire about the homeowner about every little detail, because they will comprehend the homeowner's vision and they can tell where they would like to go ahead and take project. This can help to conserve a lot of some time and be sure that the project is finished through the deadline with very little delays as you possibly can.
Exterior house painting doesn't have to become a complicated, frustrating mess. If situations are planned effectively, the work will appear to visit easily and everyone will be pleased with the outcomes. The ultimate method is what really matters, because it is the main reason homeowners choose to paint to begin with. A superbly colored home could make any house look its best and can make individuals living inside pleased. Exterior house painting could be a job when the homeowner practices good communication and plans things the proper way.
Getting things done the very first try is frequently the type in ensuring everyone is satisfied. This can help to conserve a large amount of stress and make certain that things go just as they ought to immediately.

I have been wanting to experiment with light painting since I watched my first Ben Willmore workshop on Creative Live. I have been scouring the racks at Lowes, Home Depot, The Dollar Tree, Staples etc for quite awhile. I've collected a lot of CANDLE power and finally started to play around with many of his technics. I have little lights that you can have attached to your keychain that are only a few candles bright all the way up to one I am hoping can light a car with a few swipes out doors. I have a long chain with a jump rope handle on the end that I've made small orbs with indoors. I'm still waiting on just the right no mosquito night to try it out doors!
Below is my best indoor experiment to date. When I showed the picture to my husband I told him with a lot of excitement that I sat up this shot and then photographed it in a pitch black room. I told him the only light was a flash light I used to "paint" the photograph. After seeing the look on his face I reminded myself that I really need to stop telling him these things. The only painting he wants to hear about is when I tell him I've repainted the bathroom! HA

GRANDMA SAYS: Spring snow has a purpose
If April showers bring May flowers, what's the point of April snow?
Grandma believed snow that fell after the spring equinox had a purpose. In fact, she was always quick to remind us that there would be three more snows after the first day of spring. Fast forward a couple of decades and here I am in Atlantic Canada where I soon learn that here, too, there are three snows after the official start of spring. In fact, according to Maritime folklore, the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia always receives three snowfalls after the March equinox and they are so predictable they have been given names.
The first snow is the smelt snow; it's believed that the smelt would start to run after the first spring snow.
The second snowfall following the equinox is the robin snow; according to folklore, this snowfall brings them back.
And finally, the green grass snow. Grandma often referred to it as "poor man's fertilizer." I think this one is an attempt to put a positive spin on a very late snowfall and keep some people from crying.
is there any truth to this? Well, in March, frontal boundaries start to push through as the jet stream attempts to shift from its winter position to a more summertime one. Snow often falls on the leading edge of a system that is travelling through with mild air. That was the case on Wednesday. Behind the wet weather, there is often a dry slot and some sun! Warm spring sunshine could trigger the smelt migration, bring the birds out of the woods and maybe even make the grass green.
I decided to check last year's weather statistics. I found that most of us "enjoyed" four snowfalls after the spring equinox. Mother Nature was kind enough to toss in a bonus snowfall on April 13. I hope she doesn't feel the need to be so generous this year!

Through dynamic movements such as chewing, talking, grinding, and clenching of teeth, the masseter muscle becomes enlarged and bulky, leading to a square, masculine jawline. Elements MediSpa, based in Doncaster with easy access from surrounding areas of Wakefield and Barnsley, offer Masseter Botox, reducing activity within the masseter so that the muscle is unable to clench and tense so strongly, helping to soften the jawline and reduce the size of the muscle.
Botox is a fast acting, safe procedure that is still the first choice for many patients who are wanting to achieve a natural, youthful appearance. It is a simple and relatively pain free treatment. Although results may be seen within the first two weeks, the effects of Masseter Botox may take up to six weeks to be seen.

text: I look in Oklahoma city to find awesome American cars,concepts, and trucks. Hot rod, rat rods, resto mods, etc. I ask a few questions, get a good view of the car, and get a view of it leaving. Burnouts are optional, as there are cars that can't do a burnout. I am working on sponsors, but when i get some i will add them in at the end. I am a High school Senior. I came up with the Idea after watching some YouTube and listening to some old country music. Originally thought i would only do muscle cars, but there is only a handful of people over here OKC that owns a muscle car. So as long as it is American and cool I can shoot a video and post it on YouTube.

Hello Everyone!
Happy January and what a wonderful year so far! I have just received some exciting news, that I won't be able to share with you all quite yet. Though trust me, it has given me a great opportunity to take "Year As" into an exciting and new direction! With that said, just in case there is any confusion, "Year As" is a blog that I started so I can spend every year of my life getting better. Like it says in my Instagram bio, "a new year should equal a new adventure", however, my year does not start in Jan., since I started "Year As" in August that's my new year! So no worries, I am still focusing on blogger biz!
Now That That's Out of the Way…
Earlier this month, I received a super nice comment. (I won't share their name just in case they don't want to be known.) The comment read, "After reading a few posts of yours, I would just like to say I really enjoy your happy-go-lucky attitude that comes across in your writing! I love reading about people's goals, as it pushes me to further explore my own. Happy New Year!" After I got done blushing and smiling ear to ear, I realized the importance of voice and authenticity. So I thought we could talk about it today!
My Voice
I am by no means an expert on voice and writing style, but I do know a thing or two about being authentic. Before I thought about writing this post, I had never read anything on writing styles, personality, or voice. In fact, I didn't even think about it and here's why. To me I view my blog as a public conversation with my friends, (that's right you are all my friends), so when I start to write I genuinely feel like we are having a conversation. These posts are more of an email to me than an "official" article. In other words, I am super casual with it. Sometimes they are riddled with typos (which I do not suggest). Others time my sentences are less formal and way more conversational. But every time I write, I try really hard to make sure I am typing something I would actually say. So for me, hopefully, my voice comes through and you all can see my tone, hear my sentences, and feel my smiles! It makes writing more fun that way.
For the Bloggers
Your voice, your writing style, your blog, paper, article, book, or whatever is YOURS! Please do not forget it! Write in a way that makes you happy. If you don't feel "smart" enough, if you don't feel like you speak the language well enough, if you just feel like you get stuck on your words, it is okay! Work through it. Don't let that stop you. It is your quirks and your uniqueness that really is what makes people fall in love with your work, trust you, and want to be a part of your journey.
When I first thought about blogging I was a little stressed about how am I going to make my blog for everyone. At first, I didn't know how I could be super informative and technical and scholarly and helpful? But I just started writing, and through that process I realized I didn't have to be for everyone. In fact, it is impossible to write for everyone! Imagine if every author wrote in the same way! Reading would suck for the 75% of the population that wants something different, something new! So be you. Be different. Be new!
Of course, there are tons of articles that give tips on how to get your own writing style. These posts can be super helpful for you to gain confidence, and I think that is the most important thing to finding your voice. Find your confidence, believe in your work, and don't get discouraged if you only have a small audience. Trust me, I can relate! But I tell myself every day, that my small audience really is invested in me; and I rather a few real friends than a couple thousand not so good ones, you know?
So to my bloggers keep writing, be you, and be honest.
To my Non-Bloggers
While I really am focusing on getting the hang of blogging, much of blogging lessons totally are transferable skills to anything. Finding your voice goes beyond writing styles. It is embedded to how we handle relationships, our work, and even our hobbies. For someone working on becoming a better friend, building an authentic relationship is dependent on your voice. How you express yourself, how honest you are, and how you want people to see and understand you. For artist you voice manifests in your unique artistic style. It is the thing you like the most, maybe its lime green accents, or random flower petals in every design. No matter what it is, it is what makes you special and the right people will love and appreciate you being special. So stay positive and keep being you.
It is easy to get discouraged when you are putting your differences out there, there will be people who wont like it. But trust me there will also be people who will love every ounce of it, and be accepted that way feels so much better!
So you can do this! Trust me. I believe in you!
Don't Go Yet!
I would love to hear how your New Year resolutions are going! Please comment below.
Also to my fellow bloggers who are just now finding their voice and may want to guest blog on "Year As" contact me! I would love to get to know you!
Thank you all for being a part of my journey, holding me accountable, and being amazing!

Last night, I was blissfully stumbling through the blogosphere when I landed on "Free-Range Kids" by Lenore Skenazy, an author and columnist who is sometimes called, "America's Worst Mom".
She "earned" that title by one day allowing her 9-year-old to find his way home — all on his own — via the subway and buses of New York City:
Was I worried? Yes, a tinge. But it didn't strike me as that daring, either. Isn't New York as safe now as it was in 1963? It's not like we're living in downtown Baghdad.
Anyway, for weeks my boy had been begging for me to please leave him somewhere, anywhere, and let him try to figure out how to get home on his own. So on that sunny Sunday I gave him a subway map, a MetroCard, a $20 bill, and several quarters, just in case he had to make a call.
After her son made it safely home, brimming with a new-found sense of independence, she wrote about his experience in a column for the New York Sun. That got her invited onto several talk shows — at least one of which billed her as "America's Worst Mom". People quickly accused her of neglect and child abuse.
Are those charges justified?
The thought of a 9-year-old boy negotiating his way alone through the streets of New York City alarms us. We can easily imagine all sorts of horrors happening to such a kid. Many of us fear to allow our children out of our sight, let alone allow them to ride the subway by themselves. But Lenore Skenazy — and perhaps a growing number of other parents — believe those fears are largely misplaced.
Skenazy argues that parents fear for their children's safety way more than is warranted today. According to her, we have become a hyper-vigilant nation of overly protective parents. And the facts simply don't justify our common perception that children are at exceedingly great risk of harm.
For instance, according to some crime statistics that Skenazy cites, the odds of a child being abducted by a stranger or slight acquaintance are about one chance in 1,500,000. To translate that into more concrete terms, you would on average need to leave your child unprotected for about 750,000 years before you could be sure she would be abducted. In 1999, there were only 115 such kidnappings in the United States.
In a recent interview, Skenazy elaborated on why these days we might feel the world is not a safe place for our children despite the facts that suggest it is:
The world is actually safer, statistically, than it was when I was growing up. In the 1970s and 1980s, crime was going up in the States, peaking around 1993. Then it came down, back to the level of the 1970s. It just doesn't feel that way.
Now there's the 24-hour news cycle. There is not one episode today of Law & Order that could have been aired before, say, 1971. It's so graphic and disturbing and violent. It's on every night of the week. Parents watch it, kids watch it.
Those images don't just go away, even though our rational minds know they're fiction. Those images are the first to come to mind when you ask yourself, "How safe is it for my kids go outside?" You don't think of yourself walking to school – it's so mundane that it doesn't come to mind. But I can picture a missing child's photo…. That's how we think these days. If one child in the entire country is kidnapped and held for 18 years, that's what we should be basing all our decisions on – the very outside, worst-case-scenario that something bad could happen.
The notion that television might be warping our sense of reality and needlessly increasing our fears has been around for some time. I recall reading about 35 years ago a study published in Psychology Today that suggested people who watch a lot of TV tend to overestimate life's dangers. Since then, there have been numerous studies collaborating that one. So, Skenazy could very well be correct to suppose TV is a cause of exaggerated fears.
She proposes that parents put aside their fears to give their children more independence:
We are not daredevils. We believe in life jackets and bike helmets and air bags. But we also believe in independence.
Children, like chickens, deserve a life outside the cage. The overprotected life is stunting and stifling, not to mention boring for all concerned.
I think in that, she makes a great deal of sense. There are parents today who will not let a 7-year-old walk a block to their friend's house, nor even allow her to go unescorted to the mailbox. There are kids who are not allowed to play unsupervised. Surely, most neighborhoods are not so dangerous as to justify that sort of hovering attention.
I do have a major concern with Skenazy's statistics. The figure she often cites — one chance in 1,500,000 of a kid being kidnapped — is very likely misleading.
The figure seems to be based on the NISMART October 2002 Non-Family Abducted Children Report (.pdf), which found that only 115 children had been victims of stereotypical kidnappings in 1999. But a stereotypical kidnapping is a rather special case:
During the study year, there were an estimated 115 stereotypical kidnappings, defined as abductions perpetrated by a stranger or slight acquaintance and
involving a child who was transported 50 or more miles, detained overnight, held for ransom or with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed.
Of more concern to us might be kidnappings that did not involve transporting the victims 50 or more miles and detaining them overnight. There were — not 115 — but 58,200 of those in 1999. Children are at significantly greater risk of abduction than Skenazy's favored statistic might lead us to believe.
I don't think it can be doubted that Skenazy documents numerous examples of excessive and irrational fears for the safety of children on her blog. I do believe, however, that children are at a much greater risk of abduction than she seems to think. Yet, it seems to me her main point — that children need more independence than our fears are allowing them — is probably a very good one. The question is finding the right balance.

|Shadow Crawler
|Shadow Crawler Information
|10 inches Tenatium
|Power Source
|Magnetized Nuclear Plasma
|Ion Cannons
Double-Barrel Laser Cannon
Destroyer Disc Launcher
Prisoner Pod
|Deactivated and Discontinued from production
|Various Locations
Shadow Crawlers are three-legged, heavily armed robot battle machines. Their legs have magnetic tips, allowing them to scale walls and hang from ceilings.
First Use
The Shadow Crawlers were first seen in their mission to track down and destroy Takeshi, Hikaru, and Ryo on their mission to find the Sentai Golden City. They were driven off by the trio.
Later Use
The Shadow Crawlers have participated in battles such as the battle of the Golden City. This was the final Robot assault on the city and the one where the Mobile Devastator was used. Shadow Crawlers entered the city during the assault. The Shadow Crawlers and the Robots were defeated by the Humans and were not seen again.
One of the most insidious robot battle machines ever invented, the Shadow Crawler takes the war between human and machine to a new and sinister low. Mounted atop each Shadow Crawler is a Prison Pod, normally containing either a captured Exo-Force pilot or other human captive. This effectively prevents Exo-Force from concentrating all its power against these battle machines, for fear of hurting the human prisoners. Armed with laser cannons and Destroyer Disc Launchers, the Shadow Crawler is also able to operate in full stealth mode and scale any surface. This makes it perfect for ambushing Exo-Force teams. It is piloted by a single Devastator robot.

WordPress has a huge number of plugins available for adding features and extending functionality. Sometimes plugins can cause problems, however, and you may need to disable them for troubleshooting.
This article describes how to disable individual plugins, as well as how to disable all plugins at once.
You can easily enable and disable individual plugins from the WordPress interface. To do this, follow these steps:
You can use the WordPress administration interface's bulk action feature on the plugins page to disable multiple plugins at once. But if you have a lot of plugins installed, or if the administration interface is inaccessible, there is another way to disable all plugins at once. To do this, follow these steps:

Kids always want, want, want something. Especially during the holiday season. They want whatever they have been shown or told or heard about that they really, really should have. Then this will make them happy. Just like grownups, they sometimes think that whatever they can obtain in the way of material things is what will make them happy. But if you will note a small sleeping child hanging onto a stuffed toy, you will see that toy is what is making him happy right now and that is because the stuffed toy is close and huggable and warm and fuzzy and all those things that really make him happy. To make him truly happy and comfortable and content with his life, he needs just one thing and that is you, his parent. He needs you to hold him and tell him that you love him. Do this sometime during the day. Make a point of just hugging him quickly or stroking his back, or kissing him on the cheek. Do whatever is appropriate for his age. But tell him that you love him. This is what he wants most of all. He wants his mother and father to love him no matter what the day brings. He wants to feel that. He wants to know that for sure. He wants to always be comfortable in that love. That is what the children of today need and want most of all. They want to know that they are loved with a love that will last forever. They want to know that no matter how much they mess up, no matter how many times they seem to do everything wrong, they are still loved unconditionally. For truly happy children, just show your children that you love them. That is what parenting is really all about. Successful parenting, that is.

For Sister Rosemary Johnson, R.S.M.
And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise.—Gn 2:10
Adam…could not have inferred from the fluidity and transparency of water that it would suffocate him….—Hume
The botany that blessed Mendel's pisum—
Has petals come to thorns, and bliss, regret—
Our parents feet found Heraclitian streams
In Eden's river, but their seeded rot
Despoiled its promised acres—this, despite
A course of graces flowing to present
Our arid minds a thought to irrigate:
We walked in gardens once—and that's the point.
Perhaps our view at large accords with Hume's—
No seed effects its fruit except to set
Starvation's stage—the blossoming of dooms
Which man must brave alone, an oak offset
Against a desert's thirst no rain could whet,
And only slick sidewinders' tongues anoint
While whispering mankind's weed-choked kismet:
"You walked in gardens once—isn't that the point?"
But bury deep such philosophic dreams
And keep in mind that we were once well met
By sacred nomenclature's nobler blooms—
Salvation's scent replaced by Adam's sweat
And thorns supplanting beauty's own rosette—
We bled the color out of Eden, bent
Its stems and broke its limbs—and all for what?
We walked in gardens once. Is that the point?
O Prince of patch and plot, who can delete
The damage done? The everything we can't
Repair, your greener thumb lets cultivate.
You walked in gardens once—and that's the point.

Since 2011, CERN selected OpenStack as a cloud platform. It was natural to choose RDO as our RPMs provider ; RDO is a community of people using and deploying OpenStack on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora and distributions derived from these (such as Scientific Linux CERN 6 which powers our hypervisors).
The community decided not to provide official upgrade path from Icehouse to Juno on el6 systems.
While our internal infrastructure is now moving to CentOS 7, we have to maintain during the transition around 2500 compute nodes under SLC6.
As it was mentioned in the previous blog post, we recently finished the migration from IceHouse to Juno. Part of this effort was to rebuild Juno RDO packages for RHEL6 derivative and provide a tested upgrade path from IceHouse.
We are happy to announce that we recompiled openstack-nova and openstack-ceilometer packages publicly with the help of the CentOS infrastructure and made them available to the community.
The effort is led by the CentOS Cloud SIG and I'd like to thank particularly Alan Pevec, Haïkel Guemar and Karanbir Singh for their support and time.
For all the information and how to use the Juno EL6 packages please follow this link https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/OpenStack/JunoEL6QuickStart.

Alan Pardew spells out mission statement in black and white
Exclusive: Newcastle manager leaves George Caulkin in no doubt about who he believes will be in charge of team matters at St James' Park
He looks and sounds like a man on a mission, speaking in certainties, trim and tanned from the training ground. After a year of toil at Newcastle United and a summer that has shaken the club's foundations, Alan Pardew is responding "in the way I channel it best, and that's to come out fighting". A man and a manager on a mission.
The manager bit is important. This remains a delicate moment at St James' Park, where structures and realities are being resculpted in the aftermath of Joe Kinnear's startling appointment as director of football, but while there are plenty of conspiracy theories about what happens next, Pardew has a job to do. He has a focus, determination.
It is a job he adores, untainted

Back from the dead
This has to be the most motivating blogpost I've written so far. Its hard to describe the feeling when you see the main parts of the car coming back together again. A voice in my head also said: You're crazy to put this amount of work into that pile of crap..

Rallye fever
After attending the Petermax Muller Gedechtnis Rennen in the summer of 2013 a rallye fever suddenly struck up north. The Sechs Volt garage was suddenly right in the middle of it all. This leading up to the Flugplatz Scmutz Rennen, an all gravel fiesta for solid generator stand vw's. We will come back with more from the Petermax, Schmutz Rennen and some behind the scene details. The Sechs Volt Garage is tuning back in on the web...

Chris Svec (@christophersvec) has an idea about adding empathy to software development. It is a good idea.
His blog is Said Svec. He works for iRobot and they are hiring. (Chris' email is given toward the end of the show but if you hit the contact link here, we'll pass along info to him.)
Embedded has an episode devoted to impostor syndrome.
O'Reilly's Head First book series is pretty awesome.
Elecia is still talking about Thinking, Fast and Slow as a great way to understand brains. Chris Svec also recommends Make It Stick.
The Richard Hamming quote came from his address to the Naval Postgraduate School. The whole lecture is available on YouTube.

Compelling, groundbreaking and immensely readable, The Story of Australia's People: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Australia, is the first installment of an ambitious two-part work, and the culmination of the life work of Australia's most respected historian Geoffrey Blainey. The vast, ancient land of Australia was settled in two main streams, far apart in time and origin.The first stream of immigrants came ashore some when the islands of Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea were one. The second began to arrive from Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. It was not – and is still not – an easy relationship, and the story of Australia's people is complex. Gifted with a profound spirituality deeply attached to the land and a sense of place, Australia's ancient people were devastated by the encroachments on their land, their proud and enduring tribal cultures utterly destroyed. Through their European notions of private property, their animals, the rabbit, alone, has transformed the landscapes of Australia from one end of the continent to the other, while their foxes and cats have destroyed native wildlife which had survived for countless generations. The arrival of Europeans was all about the brutality of invasion. And the Europeans, and now a polyglot rush of people from all over the world, those who opportunistically grafted themselves on to this ancient land, have proved they have learnt nothing: throughout the past Century Australia has been party to wars on foreign lands, and is party to the utter debacle that is the invasion of Iraq.

Energy audits are a series of tests carried out in a building that calculate the efficiency of its heating system as well as the buildings overall efficiency. Depending on the results of an energy audit, the auditor will recommend energy saving improvements including low cost changes, as well as larger upgrades that may be paid back over several years.
Audits take around two to three hours to carry out, their price can also vary between companies. However, if you set up an audit through your utility company you may be eligible for a rebate.
Energy audits are an investment. With the information that they produce, a building can be fitted with systems that will allow it to be heated and insulated extremely efficiently. Over time the cost of these upgrades will be recouped by saving money on the amount of energy that is required to heat or cool the building.


text: There were a series of photos I took of the mountain lions at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo that I found rather comical. Usually they are just sitting around doing… cat things: grooming, chewing on toys, pacing around… and actually that day was no different. But some of the expressions on their faces I thought were funny. So I decided to use them for tonights work. Just little expressive cat faces. 😛

Britney Spears' former husband has defended her against sexual harassment and child abuse claims. Kevin Federline is adamant allegations contained in a lawsuit filed by Britney's former bodyguard Fernando Flores yesterday (08.09.10) – which allege the Britney Spears sexually harassed him and physically beat her son Sean Preston with a belt – are fabricated.
Kevin Federaline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said: "He is satisfied the allegations are a product of economic motives. They are as baseless as they seem."
Kaplan added Kevin – who has primary custody of his and Britney's children, Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James – asked the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services to investigate the claims and found no wrongdoing by his ex-wife. He added: "I think the timing of this and the nature of the allegations speak for themselves."
In documents filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court, Fernando – who quit as Britney's bodyguard in June – describes five instances where the 28-year-old singer, exposed herself or made sexual advances towards him. He also alleges she engaged in sexual intercourse in the same hotel suite as her sons and claims she fed them crabmeat, despite knowing of their allergies to seafood.

Eight miles (13km) from Sapa is the Thac Bac Water fall (the one in the picture). You can get here easily on a motorbike.
This is one of the region's major attractions. It is possible to climb to the top of the waterfalls. From there, there is an excellent view of the waterfalls.
If you come here, follow the road and you will get to the Tram Ton pass.

This is a popular position we're all busy filling, or so it seems.
As general manager of the universe, you get to call the shots, arrange things to suit your agenda, and take the credit when things turn out. You also get to dish out the blame when things do not go according to plan.
It must be a pretty stressful job, going by all the angst and anxiety you can see on display wherever people are involved in relationships. I'm not just talking about personal relationships. Business relationships, employment relationships, political relationships, and international relationships are also part of the game. Need a few examples? Check out what's going on in Syria or Washington. Look around your workplace. You get the picture. People acting and reacting to the notion that they should be in charge or control or calling the shots.
Just imagine what state the world could be in if governments or terrorists didn't feel the need to interfere in the affairs of nations with different priorities or a different world view.
Let's move the focus a little closer to home, and consider all the relationships in your web of connections. I chose the word 'web' deliberately. Picture yourself as a spider in the centre of a web of fine strands, linking you to everyone and everything in your life. Yes, we have relationships with things. All those things we attach the possessive adjective 'my' to: my car, my house, my job, my business, my iphone. Some of us extend this same sense of possessiveness to my wife, my husband, my child, as if we owned people the same way we own cars and books.
Like the spider we try to control the web. We're the one doing the spinning, keeping the strands both tight and sticky so that no-one, and no thing, escapes from our control or influence. Think of all that energy you invest in having your lover, your children – even when those children are now adults themselves, your family, your workmates, your friends, and the world in general, behave according to your grand plan. Exhausting isn't it?
Just image what state your life could be in if you could stop interfering in the lives of others.
You can do that you know. All you have to do is resign from being the general manager of the universe. Fortunately, it's not actually your job. It's God's universe, so let him enjoy all the stress of running it.
I invite you to step back into your life and to let others step into their lives. You might find that giving up running the world, or at least other people's lives, is energising – you'll get to use your energy on living your life. It's a lot less stressful as well.
Sure, people will make choices and do things you don't agree with. That's OK. Just in case you haven't noticed, you make choices and do things other people don't agree with. It's only a problem if you believe that you have to please others or that they have to please you. That's a belief you can afford to let go.
Sit back and relax. God's taking care of things.

My friend Catherine and I are throwing a Shade/Adorn Jewelry Party! If you know me or Catherine come to our party on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m.
We both love excuses to get together with our girlfriends so ... come have fun with us. Featured will be clothing from Shade clothing. Also my friend Emily that made the Camille bracelet will have a display of some of her beautiful handmade jewelry for sale. The bracelets above and below are a couple of my favorites.
So come do some early Christmas shopping and get yourself outfitted for the cooler weather that is suddenly upon us.
It will be at Catherine's house, if you need her address you can call me or her.
I will be making yummy treats to eat that even I, with my nausea, can't wait to eat. I plan to make these too tasty cookies that melt in your mouth. Thus the name, Melt Aways.
And this is a close of up a cheese dip covered in goodness that tastes even better than it looks. Hmm. I am craving this one already. Come try it.
