Benjamin Franklin once wrote that "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." Well, I am outraged and I hope that you are as well.
The Dolores High School policies outlined in the "Blue Letter" that was sent home to parents on Dec. 12 demonstrate a disregard for the constitutional rights of students. This isn't about the Confederate flag or the Black power fist. This is about free speech. The new policy is censorship, plain and simple. The DHS administration is censoring symbols simply because they do not like them.
Censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are "offensive," happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal, political or moral values on others. Censorship by the government is unconstitutional. Freedom of speech is protected in the First Amendment, and is guaranteed to all Americans. Students have the right to peacefully and quietly express themselves, even when that expression may be unpopular. This is especially true, when, as the Dolores school superintendent noted in his Dec. 13 Dolores Star interview, there was no evidence that the banned symbols were used in the alleged hate crime incident.
In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, a landmark 1969 decision by the United States Supreme Court, the court defined the constitutional rights of students in U.S. public schools. The court held that students and teachers do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate ... in the absence of a specific showing of constitutionally valid reasons to regulate their speech, students are entitled to freedom of expression of their views." The court went on to develop the Tinker Test, which is the benchmark used by courts today to determine whether a school's disciplinary actions violate students' First Amendment rights.
Under the Tinker Test, the justification for the regulation of student speech must be more than "a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint." School officials must show that the expression would cause a "material and substantial disruption" with the discipline and educational function of the school. The court went on to say "that undifferentiated fear or apprehension of disturbance is not enough to overcome the right to freedom of expression. Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority's opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the views of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom - this kind of openness - that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society."
In Bragg v. Swanson, a 2005 case from the Southern district of West Virginia, United States District Court Judge John Copenhaver applied the Tinker Test in striking down the school policy that banned a student from wearing an image of the Confederate flag, stating that "to suggest that a ban is warranted simply because some associate it with racism proves too much for First Amendment purposes."
The unconstitutional DHS policy has had, and continues to have, a "chilling" effect on free expression at the high school. Since being put into effect, the rainbow flag as well as images of Che Guevera have been removed from classrooms. Who knows how much permissible speech was unjustifiably silenced through student self-censorship because of fear of this policy? The real travesty is the adverse impact this is policy is having on students, and their understanding of their basic civil rights as guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution.
As someone who was born in Hawaii and grew up in New Jersey, the Confederate flag carries no special meaning for me; but as the parent of three DHS students, a combat veteran and an American, I do care deeply about the individual freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. More than 25 years ago, I took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath is as relevant today as it was on the battlefields of Iraq. I have expressed my concerns about this policy to the school administration and to the Board of Education. Their silence has been deafening. No matter. As a good soldier, I will continue the mission to see that this policy is either rescinded or overturned. If you care about free speech; about the individual rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution; about the rights of current and future students at Dolores High School; then it is time to get off the sidelines and get into the fight. I hope to see you on the high ground.

She surprised me with an epic polka dot skirt she made herself and a copy of Worn as well. Both the skirts look insannnnely good together, especially with the spacegirl tee since the off-white color matches the dots.
Monday night (skirts arrived in the afternoon):tavi spacegirl tee, i heart norwegian wood skirts, drugstore tights, vintage gifted coat, thrifted shoes
And this I wore to see Rent last night, it is probably my favorite outfit I've worn so far this year (holy wtf, it's April already?!) The Rodarte tights are very delicate so I only wear them on ~special~ days, like when I meet Queen Elizabeth and Rei all at the same time, but seeing my favorite play with my best friend obvz called for them. Do not even get me started on Rent...Um, it was amazingandidiedandcriedanddiedagain and ok, is it alright to babble on about it as long as it is slightly fashion related? Angel's costume was the best and makes me wish they made tranny clothes for 12 year olds. But that would be morally wrong and socially unacceptable and I am obviously very moral-oriented and my top priority is to solidify the social norm.
Oh, my mom owns lots of paper boxes (I don't know why) and adding a clip to one is just the perfect weirdo headpiece I've been looking for.
This coat is vintage and a very very generous gift.. it is slightly glamorous and I would like to wear a very unglamorous outfit underneath to annoy people.
Mom: When arranging vegetables on a platter, put all the carrots either together or spread around evenly, not in two awkward clumps, one of which looks like an evil bunny.
Me: It's supposed to be Woody Allen. And the carrots are gonna get eaten anyway.
Mom: Yes, but it's nice. It makes people feel relaxed and like they're somewhere special.
Me: But they're coming to our house.
Mom: But we can make them feel like they're somewhere special! Aren't you into that, with your fashion? Feeling like you're somewhere or someone else?
Me: Yeah, but.. they're carrots. And I want to go get some crackers.
Mom: No crackers for you, it's Passover!
Me: Oh. Right. That. Well. If I eat all the carrots now am I excused from arranging them nicely? Like Bruce Bogtrotter?
Ugh, that didn't sweeten the deal. The carrots look decent but still not very nice. I am not a housekeeping figure. I think I'll just force my sister to be my maid when I'm older.

Like city itself, newly elected New London council a most diverse group
New London - For the first time ever, minorities will be in the majority on the City Council and on the Board of Education - a racial makeup that is more representative of the city's diverse population.
"It's historical," said City Councilor Wade Hyslop, who was re-elected to a fourth term Tuesday. "I think it means the Democratic Party has finally started listening and hearing us talk about inclusion - and that means including every ethnic group in the city."
On Tuesday, voters elected six Democrats and one Republican. The new City Council will comprise Hyslop, Anthony Nolan and Erica Richardson, who are black; Efrain Dominguez, who is Hispanic; and Michael Passero, Michael Tranchida and Martin T. Olsen, who are white. The Republicans endorsed a council slate that didn't include any minorities. Olsen was the only Republican elected.
For the Board of Education, voters selected four minorities for the seven-member panel - Sylvia Potter, who is black, and Mirna Martinez, Aracelis Vazquez Haye and Elizabeth Garcia Gonzalez, who are Hispanic. Also elected were Robert Funk, Scott Garbini and current board Chairwoman Margaret Curtin, who are white. All are Democrats except for Martinez, a Green Party candidate who was cross-endorsed by the Republicans.
"The Board of Education and the City Council candidates-elect now represent the make-up of the city," William Satti, chairman of the Democratic Town Committee, said Thursday.
"Our job as the town committee was to work to get a team in place that makes up the diverse population of the city. Now it's their job to govern," said Satti, who is white.
In this city of 5.5 square miles, around 13,500 people - about half of the city's 27,000 residents - are racial or ethnic minorities. According to 2010 Census data, 28 percent are Hispanic and 17 percent are black. In about 30 percent of households, a language other than English is spoken at home.
"I think it's great," said Passero, who was elected to his third term and has served for the past two years as council president. "Since I've been on the council ... things have changed. We've gone from a very lopsided council, historically elected by the old sixth-district Democrats, to those from all over the city."
The "old sixth district," now the third in a total of three districts, covers the largely residential south end of the city.
Hyslop, who served in the state legislature for 14 years, believes that having more minorities in leadership roles will pave the way for more civic involvement.
"This is one of (the) things I've been saying at council meetings all along - it's about inclusion," he said. "When you look out and you don't see anyone who represents your community, there's a problem."
Jane Glover, the city's chief administrative officer, is among the minorities who have served on the council in the past. But, she said, it has been rare to have two minority councilors serving at the same time.
The Democratic Town Committee always has reached out to minorities and encouraged individuals to serve, she said. "I just think people are now just exercising their rights. It's always been available to them and the Democratic Party has always tried to include them. But you have to grow into the idea that you can be part of it. Now we have Obama, and they're seeing council members over the past few years, and they can see it's available to them, too."
Daryl Justin Finizio, the city's openly gay mayor, took some credit for helping to diversify the city's most important elected panels. Part of his campaign for mayor two years ago was to engage the community - no matter the ethnic or racial background or sexual preference - and to create an administration that was inclusive.
Finizio appointed Dominguez to the Water & Water Pollution Control Authority last year and supported Richardson, who served on the Police Community Relations Committee. As a member of the Democratic Town Committee, the mayor also encouraged minorities to run for office.
"The candidates themselves came forward. ... We just opened the door and once the door was open, they were ready to run through it," he said.
Richardson, who was elected to her first two-year term Tuesday, said Thursday that she hadn't noticed she was part of a historic event, but she is "happy and honored" to be part of it.
She cautioned that someone does not have to be a minority to champion issues that affect minorities. She said she has always tried to be fair.
"No matter who you are, or the color of your skin, you have to look at fairness when creating policies," she said. "You need to see how those policies can impact everyone. You can't have tunnel vision. You really need to always remember who your constituents are - and that's everyone in New London."

- Click here to download the Paarl Boulder guide by Niel Mostert
There are some excellent single- and multi-pitch sport routes at Paarl Rocks. The climbing is on large granite domes.
The rock seems to dry quicker than the sandstone crags around Cape Town, so Paarl Rocks may be a good destination if it has been raining recently.
The Noy brothers have recently published a climbing guide to Paarl that is available from most climbing shops.
Getting There
The Paarl Rocks are about 60 km north of Cape Town. From Cape Town drive north along the N1, and turn off at Paarl. Look carefully for the sign to the Paarl Rocks Mountain Reserve (it is easy to miss).
Sands of Time (18, four pitches) is the best multi-pitch sport route of its grade in South Africa.
Little Dutch Boy (20, three pitches) is excellent.
Umkhonto we Sizwe (22) and Splinter of the Mind's Eye (19) are great mixed trad/bolt routes that can easily be top-roped off the chains.
- Chicken Run 27 Jeremy Samson, July 2007
Starts left of Little Dutch Boy and goes straight up to the chains of Pitch 2 of Little Dutch Boy. You will need two ropes to get down as the route is much longer than 30m.
- Closed project: Jamie Smith In between little Dutch boy and Wonderland
- Unknown 23 Clinton Marteningo, 2007
Bolted line somewhere between Sands of Time and Sunset Strip.
Crank Prank Section
1. Crank Prank 24? AdK, 1985?
From the top of the Splinter Boulder, one can see a tor with a thin crack in it, about 100m down the slope towards the houses. Traverse in from the right and climb the crack.
2. Hidden Gem 18 Steven Reed, ??
Beautiful short hand crack with chains at the top. Truly a Gem.
3. Unknown 18? ??
Vertical crack to the left of Hidden Gem. Beware of big loose/hollow sounding rock at the top.
4. Unknown ??
Start as for 3, but follow crack to the left until able to stand on ledge. Follow vertical crack to top.
5. Lily's line 16 Steven Reed, ??
Bolted line on boulder left of Hidden Gem boulder. 5 bolts and chains.
6. Let it Bee 17? Anro le Roux, 2010
Short high ball crack on boulder behind Hidden Gem boulder. Anro bouldered the route, but sane people would want to put a piece of natural gear in close to the top.
Two Cents Slab
1. Lightning Bolt Crack 12 Hilton Davies and Matthew Lloyd-Sim, 6 June 2008
This route takes the prominent and attractive lightning bolt crack. The route offers sharp easy flakes but no gear.
2. A Good Day for a Mantle Shelf 23 Hilton Davies and Bruce Daniel, 19 May 2009
A few metres higher up the wall from Lightning Bolt Crack this route takes a finger-tips crack and involves a very long crank for the lip. Here it gets interesting. There are no choices but to mantle-shelf onto the slope above the top gear placement. Small nuts and cams are needed. To put out a top belay some mid-sized cams are required. Finish up the easy off-width that leads to the top of the slab.
3. Hand Jam Entrance Exam 22 Hilton Davies and Bruce Daniel, 19 May 2009
This staunch test is located near the top of the onion-layer. The route is slightly overhanging and gives a demo of Yosemite hand-jamming. Several large cams and a hex or two are required. Expect some pain. Walk off round to the left.
Belly Button Slab
This is the large slab on Gordon's Rock, facing you on the right-hand side of the top parking area.
Descent: One can abseil down "Belly Button Brigade (2-3 Abseils depending if you use single or double ropes) or one can carefully walk to the left of the slab after topping out, where the slab meets the scree, one will find a vague path that can be followed down back to the start of the routes.
1. Gecko 15 J Mayer, 2004
This route starts on the far left of the slab, by the scree and goes fairly straight up the slab, it crosses over the "Dyke" route. It consists of two pitches.
2. Dyke 15 J Mayer, 1992
This route starts to the right of 'Gecko', under the tree and there is a definite band of hand grips that it starts with, it veers left and crosses over "Gecko's" bolts. It consists of two pitches.
3. Belly Button Brigade 15 J Terblanche, M Rutschline, 1999
This route starts on the far right of the slab and the definite "Belly Button can be seen above the start of the route. It is usually done in two pitches but can be broken in to three, due to the 3 abseil stations.
Top Parking
1. Not of long duration 19 P Olivier, 2011
Mostly climb the slab, using the corner crack for protection.
2. The vertical dimension of extension 19 P Olivier, 2011
Really fun little crack with prefect rock
Gritstyle Boulder
To find this section look in the second edition bouldering guide. If you walk down towards the Boot sector from Four Sstage Rocket, these routes are between the first large boulders on your right. If the base was better they'd be bouldered, but ended up being trad lines. Grades to be confirmed.
1. Gritstyle 25 P Olivier, 2010
Climb the short vertical crack, then right and out. Hard to protect.
2. Mental Brutality 27 P Olivier, 2010
This is the left start to Gritstyle. Sit start at arête with big underclings and traverse right into Gritstyle. The sit start is to prevent the temptation of using the vertical crack of Gritstyle to start with.

Commissioners approved a resolution Monday for an election to raise 911 tariff fees.
Pottawatomie County commissioners have approved a resolution for an election Feb. 12 to ask voters for a 5 percent increase in 911 tariff fees.
The county currently collects 10 percent of the landline telephone tariff rate for purposes of providing and operating 911 services. The ballot will ask voters to approve the maximum allowed for landlines, which is 15 percent.
Commissioners approved the resolution Monday on behalf of the Pottawatomie County E-911 board, which has been discussing this issue for months at previous meetings, Commissioner Melissa Dennis said. During the course of those meetings, usually one of the three county commissioners would also attend, she said.
Tommy Arnold, director of the Pottawatomie County E-911 Center, said collected 911 fees have been declining because of decreases in landline phones.
"It's not just to provide additional funding, it's to make up funding we've lost," Arnold said of the proposal.
With the resolution, the election will be held on Feb. 12, the same day many county voters also head to the polls for annual school board elections.
If approved, the increase will apply to those who live outside city limit areas of Shawnee and only applies to landline phones. The proposed hike has nothing to do with cell line 911 fees, which already have a fee of 50 cents per number, Arnold said.
Dennis reported after Monday's meeting that it has been estimated the landline tariff increase could generate about $92,000 in revenue each year for 911 operations.
For an average landline customer in Tecumseh, for example, Arnold explained the 911-landline tariff is currently $1.75 per month. If the tariff goes to 15 percent, a residential phone bill would go up about 90 cents to $2.65 per month.
Arnold said 911 fees have been declining for most 911 centers around the state. And while nothing is certain yet, he said the state legislature will likely look in 2014 at ways to restructure 911 fees for the state and how they are collected and distributed, which could require all jurisdictions to charge the maximum landline tariff fee, which is 15 percent.
Arnold said when added up, the fees can help make up for lost revenues needed to run the county's 911 system, which is moving to certified emergency medical dispatching and working toward 911 texting and chat services.
Watch for updates.

Feds release rules for states to decide whether to run PPACA-related health exchanges
On Friday, 13 days before the deadline for states to declare if they're going to run their own health insurance exchanges, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services released nearly 400 pages of proposed exchange regulations.
HHS will accept comments on the proposed regulations for 30 days.
States that do not choose to run their own or partnership exchanges will default to a federally run exchange. Pennsylvania has not yet announced its choice, with state officials repeatedly citing the lack of regulatory guidance as a hindrance.
According to the proposal, the cost of running federal exchanges would be funded by a surcharge on participating insurers – 3.5 percent of monthly premiums in 2014.
The exchanges are to be open to individuals and businesses with fewer than 100 employees in 2014, with enrollment beginning in October 2013. The federal government has given states billions of dollars to start the exchanges, but the exchanges are to be self-supporting by 2015.
Are you keeping up with the latest PPACA news? Let us help you on our Health Care Reform Resource Center. There you'll find headlines from around the nation each day, plus links to helpful resources, blog posts about health care reform from staff reporter Heather Stauffer, and more.

Difference between revisions of "Puno"
Revision as of 22:55, 26 March 2011
Puno is a pretty tourist city on the shores of Lake Titicaca on the Altiplano of Peru. The city's biggest attraction is its proximity to Lake Titicaca.
Puno is also the name of the region.
The city of Puno is the melting pot of the Aymara and Quechua culture. Most of its inhabitants are of Andean origin and it has a unique mixture of modernity and Andean traditions. Women in traditional clothing live and work next to their modern versions.
Puno's elevation is about 3,822m (12,565 feet), which means it is fairly cold, especially at night. The sun is bloodblistering hot during the day though and you should wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen during the day. During high season (July, August) almost every day one tourist is hospitalized with sunburns, especially after falling asleep on top of one of the sometimes agonizingly slow boats to the islands of Taquile or Amantani. If you arrive from a lower elevation, you might want to spend a day or two taking it easy in order to acclimatize.
Get in
By train
Trains to and from Cuzco travel 3 times per week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and if there are enough passengers, on Thursday as well. The train to Arequipa is only used for goods and no longer for passangers. The rail trip from Puno to Cuzco, which is run jointly by Peru Rail and Orient Express is spectacular, one of the world's great train journeys. It is not cheap - about US$220 one way.
The trip takes in Andean mountains and valleys of the Huatanay River, before reaching the Andean Plains, La Raya (the highest point of the route) and finally Cuzco.The train stops at La Raya for about 10 mins to allow passengers to get off. There are stalls selling local handicrafts e.g. alpaca sweaters, rugs, chess sets. Ensure that you bargain hard. Without a doubt, the best way of travelling to Cuzco and Macchu Picchu.
By bus
To do this, take a bus from the terminal or a shared taxi to Desaguadero (2-3 hours, most buses leave before 10am) and after getting your passport stamped on both sides of the bridge, you can take a bus/minivan/shared taxi to La Paz (10/15/25 Bolivianos, 2-3 hours, much faster and more comfortable by shared taxi). If you want more space in the back you can pay for an extra seat. Border formalities are quite quick, but you might want to take a bicycle taxi to avoid walking a long way from the bridge to the transport on either side. You can change money here at one of the stalls outside Peruvian immigration - it's best if you know the exchange rate in advance.
When the overnight bus to Cusco stops at the state line for the police to inspect cargo underneath the bus, get out and watch your luggage to avoid theft. Ormeños has buses leaving Puno between 8am and 9am every day. The departure time depends on how long the bus takes to arrive from Lima, so it is necessary to call Ormeños in Puno or Arequipa at about 7am to find out what time the bus will be passing through. The price is 100 Soles per person and the journey should take about 6 hours.
Get around
Most Puno sights are actually not in the city itself. Check the "Get out"-section below.
In the city itself you can visit the panoramic viewpoints of the Puma and the Condor statues, but especially the last one has had security issues the last few years. Visit in group or accompanied by locals. Especially the Condor has a great view on the bay. Take a taxi (8 soles) to the top and go down the hundred plus stairs, in 10 min. you are on the main square.
Also worth visiting: the Dreyer Museum close to the main square, and the Yavari boat museum. 7 soles by taxi (Hotel Posada del Inca).
In the last few years a few smaller museums have opened, like the Galindo Gallery with paintings in the Cusco School style, the Paleontological Museum and the Totora Museum.
There are several llama farms in Puno available for tourists to go to. You can learn about the history and agricultural llama use. Fun Fun!
You can buy souvenirs here for less than in Cuzco or Lima. There is a fairly large market down by the water.
Most touristspots are in and around Calle Lima, with main courses around 20 Soles. A little bit of bargaining will get you a discount, but don't push it too far if you want your food prepared without any bodily fluids.
Mid Range
High End
Get out
There are loads of agencies offering trips from here, and most hotels and inns will be more than happy to reserve for you. Note that the latter often charge an extra 5 S/. for this service.

Burglaries in Galva, Andover
A pair of recent burglaries have local authorities concerned about the safety of both the public and law enforcement.
The first unsolved case comes from Galva, where during the overnight hours of Tuesday, Nov. 27 into Wednesday, Nov. 28, a garage was entered in the northwest part of town and burglars took a handgun and two shotguns. A small tan sport-utility vehicle was seen in the area, but authorities have no leads in this case.
Another unsolved case comes from Andover, where sometime between Friday, Jan. 11 and Sunday, Jan. 13, burglars removed a semi-automatic assault rifle and another smaller-caliber rifle from a vehicle. Also taken were several accessories including a case and a bipod mount.
"Any time firearms are taken by criminals it raises the danger to both the public and to those who serve them," said a news release from Henry County Crime Stoppers. Anyone with information about these cases is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-227-2324. All calls to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and if your tip leads to a felony arrest you could be eligible for a cash reward.

SAN DIEGO — City Hall opened as usual Monday but Mayor Bob Filner was nowhere to be found, still out of public view as he tries to survive a recall effort prompted by a cascade of sexual harassment allegations that led the entire City Council and many leading fellow Democrats to call for him to resign.
City Council President Todd Gloria said he didn't know if Filner would make a public appearance Monday, the day the mayor promised to return to work after receiving two weeks of therapy to address behavioral issues.
Filner is not obligated to show up but owes the people of San Diego an explanation of his whereabouts, Gloria said. The city's daily operations have been running fine without Filner, he said, and should the mayor appear it could make female employees uncomfortable.
"Those of us who have called on the mayor to resign know he is not being effective at this time," Gloria said. "The mayor's presence is a distraction."
The mayor has not made his schedule public. His spokeswoman Lena Lewis and lawyer James Payne did not respond to calls.
More than a dozen women, including a university dean and a retired Navy rear admiral, have gone public with sexual harassment accusations against Filner. Some contend he cornered, groped and forcibly kissed them.

Christ my God, set my heart on fire with love in You, that in its flame I may love You with all my heart, with all my mind, and with all my soul and with all my strength, and my neighbor as myself, so that by keeping Your commandments I may glorify You the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

Along with the struggles of withdrawal from the substance he had a terrifying experience last night that my mother witnessed. She was about to go to sleep when she heard my brother groaning. She immediately went to him and found him on lying face down on the ground. She screamed out to him but he couldn't respond. She felt his forehead and he was ice. She immediately put him in the recovery position and called the ambulance. While waiting she was praying earnestly by his side. After 10 min he started recovering from that state. He gradually started to explain to her his experience. He said he felt something smothering him that caused him not to be able to move, not even being able to call for help. He said that he forced himself with every ounce of strength to call out and that was translated to the groaning that my mother heard.
When it occurs upon awakening, the person becomes aware before the REM cycle is complete, and it is called hypnopompic or postdormital.[5] The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes, with some rare cases being hours, "by which the individual may experience panic symptoms"[6] (described below). As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; use of EOG traces shows that eye movement is still possible during such episodes.[7] When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP).[8]In addition, the paralysis may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[9] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[8]
My brother along with my family is going through a very traumatic time trying to deal and overcome this situation. We need everyone's prayers to help release him from the bondage of the drug and the evil one.If anyone has any sort of advice please feel free to share.My brother's name is Paul
Hi everyone, Just giving an update of the progress of my brother's battle for his 'life'. Unfortunately he relapsed a few days ago to the evil substance, It was heartbreaking for everyone around but on the positive side he picked himself up with the aid of our Lord, family and friends and all your prayers and continued the struggle for freedom from the bondage of the evil one and substance! Praise be to God he has started tackling the spiritual struggle associated with bondage with lots of counsel from his Spiritual Father. The battle he knows will continue a long while yet but he is starting to realise that to be totally free one must repent truly and have a relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers till now but I ask that anyone who can continue to remember my brother Paul and also my cousin Konstantinos (who is currently going through his own trial) in their prayers.Thank You and God BlessPS I will continue the updates
Lord have mercy! This is just awful. I'm not an addiction specialist nor have I had an addiction, so I can't speak to the addiction itself, but I do recommend saying the Akathist to Our Lady, the Inexhaustible Cup. It is usually said for alcoholics, but I was told it can be used for any sort of addiction. Just replace the work alcohol/alcoholism for heroin/heroin addiction, I suppose. I know you can find the akathist by doing a google search.
Hi everyone,Its been a while since I posted about this situation but unfortunately it has not improved. My brother is still struggling with his addiction and is no longer living at home. My parents every day await for a phone call to deliver the news that my brother is either in jail or passed away. I ask again with sadness to please pray for my brother and my parents who are struggling with this situation.Kind RegardsPS Ironically my cousin is in jail and has stopped his addiction and with God I pray will be able to stay off those wretched drugs.
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
the best way of conveying God's love to people is through your own presence and deeds.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Its a source of comfort for me and my family that fellow Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters are praying to help another who is need. As a matter of fact I gave my brother the link to this thread to show how people that he doesn't even know are thinking and praying for him. He was actually quite shocked to see the compassion people had instead of the usual stereotypical criticisms and judgements he has received from others around him. For the moment my brother has got a job in the construction industry and has been going for the past week. I pray he continues and starts to deal with his addiction with the help of all your prayers the Saints and the Theotokos.

A little tabby cat with a lot of chutzpah.
Three weeks ago a couple brought an injured cat into the veterinary clinic. I happened to be there doing some paperwork for the Uffda Fund when they arrived. They were carrying the feline in question in a large plastic lidded tote, not the usual sort of kitty carrier one sees. The woman said that the cat had entered their house through a pet door into the kitchen. Although it was obviously frightened the little tabby allowed the man to touch it as they put some food out for it along with the resident cats. They could see that one of its back feet had been mangled and it was not putting any weight on that foot. As soon as its belly was full the cat quickly slipped out the pet door. The following day it was back, and the couple was able to put the cat into the tote and deliver it to the clinic. These are not wealthy people by any standards but they could not bear to see this animal so in need of care. They were prepared to pay whatever was necessary to save the cat and if it was beyond help they would pay for euthanasia. We carried the tote into the examination room. Carefully prying open the lid we expected the worst, a pitiful creature in the last stages of succumbing to its injuries. Instead the lid blew off with an explosive force as the cat flew out of the box. The smell of putrified flesh was overwhelming. The cat was backed into a corner, hissing, growling and looking like a creature out of a Tolkein fantasy. This cat was definitely not ready to shed its mortal coil. Once the vet and her assistant manged to secure the angry beast they were able to assess the injuries. It appeared that the cat, or rather the kitten, as it was not more than 12 weeks old had fallen victim to a trap, or perhaps had become ensnared ina vehicle engine fan. The kitten's back foot was so mangled it needed amputation and its tail had also been broken in several places. She was obviously feral, but seemed to know that she needed help.
I saw the little tabby yesterday.She has really responded to treatment. Her foot could not be saved and her tail is now a little stump but she has learned to adapt without these appendages. She is still feral although she is getting accustomed to people and the other pets. The couple is anxious to take her home, semi-wild or not. This is one little tabby with a will to survive, minus most of her tail and one foot. She doesn't have a name yet but she has a wonderful furever home waiting to welcome her. We are happy that Uffda was there to offer some hope and some help. I have not been able to get a photo of this kitten, but she resembles the accompanying picture of our Abigail the Tabbytail.

Can you explain what this "attack recognition" capability is?
Puppymartin (who develops this puplet) or Growler (who creates the Hiawatha pet package) might package the latest version of Hiawatha sometime soon.

Subject description: Perception toward server security
To try and answer your question, it is just my perception, but XP is modified in SP2-3 with TCP/IP modifications in timeouts, open numbers and damaged packet requests and some other reg issues that (to the uninited) seem to have a commonality of security implication with Hiawatha ideals. The * items might be fairly new to reg, don't really know.
What I presume as modified values in XP reg in an attempt to deal with TCP/IP stack attacks (List is incomplete) --
* "EnableICMPRedirect"=dword:00000000
* "DeadGWDetectDefault"=dword:00000000
"EnableDeadGWDetect "=dword:00000000
* "SynAttackProtect"=dword:00000002
* "TCPMaxHalfOpen"=dword:000001f4
* "TCPMaxHalfOpenRetired"=dword:00000190
* "TCPMaxPortsExhausted"=dword:00000005
* "TCPMaxDataRetransmissions"=dword:00000003
* "EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000000
Also, notice in quote about client banning, plus some change log lists,
SocketSendTimeout option added, Prevention of cross-site request forgery.., CGI zombies, lead me to believe that security issues are being tided up.
Quotes from Hiawatha News --
"Yesterday, an interesting HTTP DoS tool has been released. The tool performs a Denial of Service attack on Apache (and some other) servers by exhausting available connections. While there are a lot of DoS tools available today, this one is particularly interesting because it holds the connection open while sending incomplete HTTP requests to the server." [sans.org]
- Slowloris HTTP DoS
I know for a long time that this vulnerability is present in Apache. It surprises me that nobody has implemented an exploit sooner. Another thing in Apache that bothers me: the runtime of a CGI. A CGI process can run forever under Apache. A single CGI script can DoS a webserver. A system administrator is needed to kill the script. And what about a client that keeps on guessing passwords for HTTP authentication?
These kind of Apache issues inspired me to create Hiawatha, with settings for maximum request sending time, maximum CGI run time, client banning, etc. Features that, in my opinion, every daemon should have.

Hi efiguy,
All I knew from the Hiawatha changelog is that Hugo has introduced bug fixes in the last couple of releases after 6.14. I have installed and used Hiawatha 6.16 on Ubuntu and CentOS. If you wait a little you would definitely find 6.16 available for Puppy as a pet package.

Hello Prit1,
Just to note, Hiawatha may be simple for some, but to a newbie it appears to have lots of adustments and thats not a bad thing, if defaults are well thought out, which I believe from reading the manual pages and FAQ Forum, that it will work perfect for me, especially after viewing your sample config.
And Oh So Cool about 6.16, I'm going ahead with present ISO package as a learning exercise, Thank you for your insight and answers.

Subject description: Not able to install to hard drive
Hi all,
Reference topics and previous posts involved:
1) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=43285&search_id=1682059013&start=30
2) http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29653&search_id=1524632913&start=150
Having a few problems:
a) getting the webserver control panel in place
b) Can't seem to get a system to boot from hard drive
c) Why does one puplet use " hda " and another " sda " for harddrive nomenclature?
Couldn't get Webserver (pup421k262516) Puppy to load to hard drive so investigated another puplet (LighthousePup-442-d.iso) to see if it would, and it didn't, but it sure was neat, I watched some Nasa ch2 TV on a streaming video, and it has dozens of packages all in the menu.
So thought, hmm! Load Hiawatha 6.16 into LightHouse and just boot with CD and run from HD disk. Picked up (Prit1's) Hiawatha pet and it loaded fine -- except one disclaimer message indicating " no menu available ".
Sure enough - refreshing menu and restarting JVM didn't help. --- Then the bulb lit, to start WebserverPuppy and transfer the menu control panel.
Long story short there are now 2 SFS + the saves on harddrv and both have updated each other and both have Hiawatha 6.16 and no control panel on either for 6.16.
I should be discouraged, but I'm not, you can't believe how resilient these puppy packages are to all this double file mixing, as they still open and packages continue working.
But I really need some help to determine why the universal installers won't load to harddrive and why Hiawatha 6.16 doesn't show a Lamp control panel (Please view "HowTo" post)
Haven't any problem reformating the first partition -- one more time :)
Yelp yelp !!
Thanks for any suggestions

Subject description: my mistakes and final success
Hello Group,
I must (sheepishly) apoligize for my previous questions about menu's and Hiawatha 6.16, it seems, that while going through the config file --- the word Apache is everywhere, and I thought I had Hiawathia. After doing some back tracking with "browser now set to load images" for PuppyMartin post -- seems I mislabeled the disk or selected the wrong file -- got to solve the early AM insomnia another way!
-- 08-24-09 The Success --
Webpuppy server (Apache) partition sda1 -- Boot Success from drive
(webserverpuppyX1.iso) Puppy 97M
Webpuppy server (Hiawathia) partition sda4 -- Boot Success from drive
(webserverpuppy1.iso) Puppy 76M
- What transpired: (one Linux Newbie to others ;)
Booted = Ram only: (fat-free-3.01-xorg.iso) My download date 01-10-09
Gpartition 1st partition Format ext2 Boot
Try Uni Instl - failed - reboot Grub Error 15
* Used Ontrack Disk Manager - zero write total drive * Key To Solving _ Not Sure Why!
Boot CD V 301 as " puppy pfix=ram " ram only
Gpartition -- make " New " (GP decides to make Disc label MSDOS This is OK!) 1.25 G
ext2 and 512 M swapfile for main and swapfile -- made 5G of remaining drive a Fat32 partition Later will add fdisk logical drives Reboot
Boot CD 301 as " puppy pfix=ram " ram only
Ran Universal Installer
Followed screens -- Note that message text asks to add GRUB to MBR and this is quite late in install screens Don't miss small final screen as option is mostly hidden in 1024 xorg mode,
I Opted out of Floppy GRUB at this point
Don't save on Shutdown - reboot with CD empty
BOOT load top selection of GRUB blue screen
SUCCESS Boot HD with "fat-free-3.01-xorg.iso"
With V 301 operational - Boot WebserverPuppy (webserverpuppyX1.iso) " puppy pfix=ram " Ram Only
Start Universal Installer and install to sda1 -- It eventually asks to update or WIPE _ _ It will update but the GRUB install is different and for me it would not boot after the GRUB update
Ran install once more conditions - as above --
Choose to WIPE -- The GRUB install can become very circucular, a real point of another failure, especially as little distinction is given between Hard drive and Floppy install menu reset _ _ _ Just a novices opinion --
GRUB, with the correct menu choices will complete and the drive will boot
-- Boot Success from drive (webserverpuppyX1.iso) Puppy
(You don't want to know how many times it took me;)
Found my version problem as detailed above - Duh!!
Booted Ram only: "fat-free-3.01-xorg.iso"
Gpartition -- Resized 1st partion to 512M, from the new un-allocated area - created a partition labeled - sda4 Format ext2 roughly 509M Shutdown - Don't Save
* Boot the Hiawatha WebserverPuppy (webserverpuppy1.iso) Puppy 76M " puppy pfix=ram " Ram Only
( ! Note: I had problems with 2 different browsers downloading this file -- Would start fast and then fail, my solution was to Start manager download, but leave the save button unclicked, - the file now downloads slowly in the background - watch the disk light - when activity stops - Then Click the Save Button )
Start Universal Installer and install to sda4 --
You may try for a GRUB update at this point, however be prepared for a failure - I elected for a manual cut and paste with the 1st partition boot file.
Modified 1st partition Boot menu config -- copy first menu display items lines and paste as next menu - changing sda1 to sda4 . (my drive setup - yours most likely will differ)
Thanks for all the ideas and help

Subject description: Apache version
Hi Group,
Have tested Apache from htdocs with success
Now moving to source files from a Fat32 partition and am having problems with path configuration.
Does one have to use the Document root
Alias /webpath /mnt/sda2/web_7/files
at this point???
One of the items I noticed is puppy must be rebooted if I make a mistake in document path, even resorting to the previous good path will not work until reboot.
Since moving files to Fat partition it will never recognize that fat configuration -- for Pmount must be run after boot.
I cannot find any control or save mode to mount the Fat partition on Grub bootup
I've also asked for some file tools in beginers forum, and have read
Also has anyone experience with this windows driver?
Open for suggestions
Thanks to all

If you have /boot on a separate partition, that need's to be mounted aswell. For reference, /dev/sda2 will be used.
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot Make sure you don't mix these up, pay attention to the output of FDISK

Subject description: mount other partitions on boot solved
Hi Brdog,
In desperation - Searched for "Mount on boot" and found this link:
It refers to AutoBoot
and - Much Thanks to DAVID S. - for his explanation and examples
For both Webserverpuppies I had to use the: fat-free-3.01-xorg.iso Booted as " puppy pfix=ram " which is ram only mode - to have Pfind and Permission controls available
I had to make a new directory " Startup " under ROOT and created a file named " mount " where duplicated David's guide syntax -- using my drives parameters
File named - mount contents as below
mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
Save file named - mount and make executable and searchable -- select - Startup and make executable and searchable
Follow David's guide for /etc/fstab I added under floppy line using spaces as to equal other column separations
/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 auto defaults 0 0
and then to /etc/rc.d/rc.local add line
mount /dev/sda2
Now persuing the Apache directory syntax
This worked first time for me, and I salute and thank you David, and others for posts on this topic

Post subject: Wordpress problems
Subject description: Having troubles with wordpress install
Thanks for this wonderful puppy, it was just what I needed for some web development I am planning.
I intend to use wordpress, and the puppy has just what I need.
The problem is, I really can't make it work on this puppy, and that kills me, because it works on my horrible WinXP+XAMPP.
For the first (Hiawatha) distro, I get a "500-Internal server error" , nothing logged in /var/log. If I create the logging directory /var/log/hiawatha, I get logs for access , etc., but I get no errors. Stuck here.
For the second distro(Apache), I get Apache to show me the wordpress php configurator, but I get a "cannot connect to database" from wordpress all the time. Even edited the config by hand, same error. I'm sure I got mysql working correctly (I followed the "5 minutes install" for WP), and on the xp machine everything works well.
Can you give me a hand? I love this compact distribution, and it's blazingly fast on the ancient computer I plan to use for web serving.
I have little linux experience, but I worked as a FreeBSD admin before.

Tried this one, too (I'm using it right now on my laptop).
With wordpress I still get "cannot connect to database".
Really confused now - there's a place where I can find a log of what's going wrong?

Post subject: Webserverpuppy Hiawatha 6.14
Subject description: Startup Configuration files
Would anyone have info on how to edit the Wigwam tests on reboot server startup. I am asking Hugo about Virtual IP hosts and there is supposed to be some tests in this startup file for Identical IP numbers and these tests need to be disabled, but I can't seem to find where they are located, as the files Wigwam and Hiawathia do not directly start the server, which seems only to respond to the menu control screen.
Hope this description makes some sense and someone can provide some insight to these control files.
Is it possible to update Puppy Hiawatha 6.14 to version 6.17.1?
If so, could you post the steps required.
Anyone know how to edit the Hiawatha / Wigwam configuration files?
Thank you

. An officer was dispatched to Walmart in reference to shoplifting. Loss prevention at the store reported that he had apprehended three women after watching them put items in a shopping cart and then leave the store with the cart, passing all registers and making no attempt to pay for the items. Store employees contacted the women and recovered the stolen items. The loss prevention employee spoke with the women. One of them admitted to taking chocolate cherries and apple juice; the second admitted taking candy hearts, chicken-fried rice and a bag of Cheetos; and the third admitted taking the hot wings. The officer read to the women a miranda warning and they did not want to answer questions or make a statement. There were four other items in the shopping cart which none of the suspects would admit to taking.
. An officer on patrol pulled over a car for possible drunk driving for weaving, failure to signal multiple times, and for sitting stopped at a green light for some time after it changed. The officer recognized the female driver from prior contacts. She told the officer that she had come from having dinner with a friend at a local restaurant and they had been heading to the casino when they thought they would go see who was at a local bar first. The officer could smell alcohol coming from her breath, but the woman denied having had anything to drink. When asked again, she admitted that she had had one drink with dinner just before leaving the restaurant. The woman exhibited physical signs of intoxication and failed various roadside maneuvers. The woman did not want to blow into an alcohol breath test machine, and was placed under arrest for further investigation of DUI. As the woman was placed in the patrol car, her passengers, her son and his girlfriend, approached and asked if they could take the vehicle. The subject released the car to the girlfriend, as she was the only one with a valid license. After going to the police station to take a breath test, the woman was charged with failure to signal and failure to provide proof of insurance and was given a ride home. She told the officer that she felt embarrassed about what had happened because she is a pre-school teacher. The officer explained that he didn't mean to embarrass her but was merely doing what he felt was the right thing. The subject said that she understood, but that she was going to fight the citation.
. An officer returned a call to a woman in reference to her vehicle being stolen and located. The woman stated she had left her car parked in a driveway at a residence, with the permission of the homeowner, after a part in the car broke. The owner, who was waiting for replacement parts for the vehicle, had not given anyone permission to take or move the car. The car was also locked, and the keys were not with the vehicle. After discovering the vehicle missing, the owner began calling possible salvage yards locally and found the vehicle at one of them. An officer responded to the salvage business and spoke with the owner who stated that the car was towed into his business by a woman known to him personally and an unknown tall male with a mustache, and was towed in by a smaller red SUV type vehicle. The woman told him that she wanted to sell the car for salvage and stated that she was the owner. The owner of the business stated that he had insisted that she sign a bill of sale for the car and advised her that if she was lying about the ownership of the vehicle, she would be prosecuted. He stated that the woman insisted she was the car's owner, signed a bill of sale and left a copy of her driver's license. The salvage yard owner wrote her a check for $247.50 for the car. The woman advised him that the right rear window was broken out and the ignition was damaged. The actual owner of the car advised the officer that her car did not have any of this damage when she saw it the day before it was stolen. The officer noted the broken out window and that the ignition had been destroyed, and a New Mexico license plate had been attached to the rear of the car. At the time of this report, the woman who sold the car for salvage had not been located. An arrest warrant has been requested for her for the crimes of theft by receiving, for selling the vehicle, and theft for the money paid by the salvage yard owner. The car's owner was advised she could get her car and was in contact with the salvage yard owner.
. An officer in a marked patrol car observed a vehicle turn onto a county road that had a defective brake light with tape over it, and he pulled the vehicle over. There were three male passengers in the car, one of them known to the officer from previous contacts. Both the driver and the front seat passenger appeared to be very nervous and avoided eye contact with the officer. The driver came back as clear from dispatch and when the officer asked him to come to the rear of the car to speak with him, he observed him pause and tell the car's passengers something before doing so. Another law enforcement officer arrived to assist, and the driver admitted to the police officer that he smokes weed and methamphetamine, but the last time he had smoked any was the previous day. When asked if he had any meth on his person, he said that he didn't think so. The officer found a plastic baggie sticking out of his jacket pocket that had what appeared to be meth in it. As the officer removed it, the subject said that he didn't remember having that on him. The officer also recovered a glass pipe from the same pocket. He was taken into custody. The deputy detained the front seat passenger, who also had several items used for smoking meth found on his person, including a syringe, a lighter, a glass pipe with white residue, a silver spoon and a bottle cap. When the driver was asked what was in the plastic bag, he said "Crystal I suppose." The substances tested positive for methamphetamine.
. Two officers responded to a business for a call of a customer threatening the owner. A male subject at the scene was contacted by one of the officers. The subject was upset because he wanted to return an item and was refused. When his information was run through dispatch, he came back as not having a driver's license. The subject told officers that he had driven all the way here from Durango to return the item. One of the officers did not charge the subject, but warned him not to drive because he did not have a license. The male subject said OK, and walked across the street to a neighboring business. A few minutes later, the second officer who was back in his patrol car, observed the subject driving west on Main St. He turned the patrol vehicle around and contacted the subject again, telling him that he had been informed by the other officer that the subject was warned not to drive. The subject said that was not true, that the officer had only said that he should just not pull out in front of him. The subject also did not have insurance or registration for the vehicle, and said it was because he had just bought the vehicle. The plate on the vehicle came back as registered to a different SUV. Running the VIN number, the subject's vehicle came back as registered to a woman in Durango who said that she had sold it a couple of years ago but that there had been problems with the title transfer. Dispatch was unable to locate a date of birth or license information for the woman. The male subject was issued a summons for driving without a valid license, failure to display registration, lack of insurance, and for displaying fictitious license plates. Because the officer could not determine ownership of the vehicle, it was towed, and the subject was told he would need to provide proof of ownership and insurance to pick it up.
. An officer responded to a residence for a call of theft. He spoke to a woman there who said she had $80 stolen from her purse. The woman believed she knew who had taken the money because she had let a man, known by officers to be homeless, spend the night at her place the night before because it was cold outside. When she woke up in the morning, the subject was gone and when she checked her purse, the money was missing. There had been no one else at her apartment that night. She stated that she was trying to contact the subject by text. The officer will also attempt to contact the man.

Difference between revisions of "Ifrane"
Revision as of 16:23, 24 March 2013
Ifrane is a city in the Middle Atlas region of Morocco.
Ifrane is one of the most beautiful places in Morocco, residing on the Atlas mountain with a population of rougly 13,000 people. The current Moroccan king and his projects - like the university and huge new hotel - have had a large impact on the town. However, it can not be considered a large town. The majority of the population are farmers, sheepherders, etc, and therefore live outside of the town borders.
The main language in Ifrane is Berber, but you can also hear a great deal of Arabic and French. It is home to Al-Akhawayn University, an American-style university taught in English, French, and Arabic. Nearly all university students will be able to converse fluently in English, but most of the native residents can not.
The climate is mostly cold with a beautiful clement summer, with a great deal of rain in the first few months of the year. The people are overall very friendly.
Overall, there is very little reason to specifically visit Ifrane if you're limited on time in Morocco. Unless you're a student here or a member of the king's entourage when he visits, there's not a huge amount to visit here- a carved lion, some parks, funky roofs, lots of storks, outdoorsy things, and a Sunday souq pretty much summarize the town.
Get in
Most of the busses comes from Fez and Meknes, which are the two major neighboring cities, or pass through on their route from Marrakesh to Fez.
By grand taxi
The easiest way to get into Ifrane is by grand taxi from Fez or Meknes. Both cities are an hour away. Grand taxis in Fez leave near the Fez CTM station.
A ride to either town costs Dh 25, but can be more expensive (Dh 30) on weekends, when half of Fez and Meknes come there. If you find yourself to take a whole taxi yourself, multiply the price by six places (i.e. Dh 150). At some times (very late/early, during strikes), you may have to pay a good bit more. Grand taxis to Ifrane also leave from the Fez airport, and are more expensive than those leaving from the Fez grand taxi station (Dh 300.)
By bus
CTM. has an office at the east end of the marché and busses are likely to stop / depart from there. CTM buses are known to being cleaner and slightly quicker, but the sometimes sketchy buses from other companies are equally safe. They most likely depart from the new Gare Routière. which is somewhere south-west from the marché. These busses can be alot dirtier and a little cheaper. Some might have more stops (longer trip), but they also leaving more often and are thus easier to catch.
By train =
There is no train station in Ifrane.
Get around
Most places are within walking distance, but petit taxis are also readily available. The minimum fare is Dh 5 for small distances (e.g. marché → centre ville), longer distances will be Dh 10. Grand taxi drivers are a little more unscrupulous, so try to be aware of how much you should be paying for any given trip.
Places to visit:
There are three centers of nightlife in Ifrane: Tilleuls, the Grand Hotel, and Aguelmam.
Be aware that the clubs or hotels may bring prostitutes to the clubs.
However, Ifrane's main attraction is its natural beauty. It is highly encouraged to hike in the area. You can easily rent a horse and guide for a few hours. It is also only a short distance from Ifrane to a place where you can find and feed wild monkeys.
Centre ville
See [#Do].
There is no budget accommodation in Ifrane. The best is probably to stay in Azrou (15 minutes by grand taxi, ~6 Dh).
Appartments can be rented from Dh 100-150 per day, although finding one with clean sheets seems to be impossible.
Several midrange/splurge hotels are found in the city center:

Where to stay in Paris, the most romantic city in the world
In a city as popular as Paris, how do you pick one hotel from another?
What to eat in Paris - and where
Paris is a food heaven – but if you don't know where to go it quickly turns into hell. I've picked out my top spots, plus what to eat when you're there, to help you navigate the labyrinthine Paris streets.
The survivor that's thriving
Marseille is a sort of impenetrable survivor. The city, whose history goes back 2,500 years, has shaped itself by absorbing waves of immigrants, who have built it by almost sheer force of will.
Paris. Why do I love it as much as I do?
Paris. Why do I love it as much as I do, why do all these cliched images seem so fresh every time? There are the museums, the history, the apartment buildings and the air of romance encouraged by countless books and films. But central to every Paris experience, both for visitors and the Parisians themselves, is food.
Why are the French so rude (or are they) ?
Why is that Parisian shopkeeper scowling at you? Is it because you forgot to say "Bonjour"?
The great literary café of Provence
Paris has Les Deux Magots. But down south in Aix-en-Provence, they have Les Deux Garçons.
Reflecting the future in the Gironde
Unlike Paris, Bordeaux lacks the buzz of modern, metropolitan life. It feels petite, accessible. The people I meet love their city precisely for its lack of pretentiousness and the resulting easy-going atmosphere.
Some shops in Paris convey more history than a monument
Hidden among the identical cafés of Paris' 6th arrondissement – all outward-facing wicker chairs, overflowing with tourists and locals alike – are remnants of France's imperial past. Slip past the unassuming facade of Mariage Frères on Rue Christine and into a hushed library of teas: where shopkeepers treat each aromatic tin with the same veneration as a perfectly aged bottle of wine.
Aix-en-Provence, city of fountains
Marseille may be known for its seaport, Avignon for its papal palaces. But in Aix-en-Provence, it's the fountains you should watch out for.
People-watching in Paris? Priceless
A Paris afternoon. An eccentric-looking woman is walking her equally eccentric dog, a wire-haired dachshund. "No, no!" she scolds, shoving it off the pavement with her high-heeled foot. "We do that in the gutter."

Two months ago Stanczyk produced an analysis of Genealogical Website rankings after reading the Eastmans Online Genealogy Network blog about one from Canada??. Since that time, I have been monitoring my own blog's rankings every month to see how I have been progressing and I am very thankful for you, my good readers. But before we close out the 2011 year, I wanted to have a final Global Top 125 Genealogy Websites ranking. The current global rankings include a link to the prior ranking, so you can compare for yourself.
First off, let me say how I produced the survey. It is not like Family Tree Magazine's Top 100 Genealogy Websites which "selects" their favorite 125 websites, by grabbing some from a variety of categories (African-American Genealogy, Jewish Genealogy, Big Genealogy Websites, etc.). Their breadth of "selections" is impressive and they range into reference websites too. Still every one of their selected websites is a valuable resource and the whole list could be used to form your own Genealogy Favorites (Bookmarks).
To arrive at my surveys, last survey and this current survey, I used Alexa.com as my source for rankings. I gathered websites from all over the world and I used the GLOBAL RANKING. This is why we, in the USA may have some disagreements, as Alexa.com also keeps a ranking within the local country. The American rankings for the USA websites tend to be much higher than the foreign regions for us. Likewise, in Canada or the UK, their local genealogy websites tend to rank higher than USA websites because they tend to use their local resources. But in the USA everyone is from somewhere else, so we use USA websites and genealogy websites from around the entire Globe to do our research. Finally, since I use Alexa.com for the rankings, I have to accept that they may not have considered a website that might actually be about genealogy as being about something else, because the website did not specify or because they described their website as something else. Also Alexa.com does a very poor job of ranking websites outside the USA/Canada/UK unless they write in English. To compensate (modestly), I did add in two Polish genealogical websites and included their global rankings in the survey. After all, this is a blog about Polish Genealogy and other musings. I also added in a few odds & ends, such the the US National Archives (even though not all of the site is not genealogically related — Alexa does not allow for me to select a sub-site within Archive.gov).
The new websites, seem to be the ones I added. Some of the older websites no longer had data, so we see some with a ranking of: 99,999,999. This is not an accurate ranking but it must be well beyond 30Million and may now be in the 100Million range and as such, Alexa.com now ignores it or at least does not keep its data.
Many of the top 50 Genealogy websites moved up and moved upwards a good bit. A very few of the Top 50 moved down slightly. So overall, it seems that Genealogy is becoming more popular (than all other websites in general). To give you some feel, this blog that you are reading right now, moved upwards some 6Million places. However, it only moved up four places on the Global Top 125 Genealogy Websites ranking.
In the Top 10, there was very little movement. Most notable, was Fold3.com (formerly Footnote.com), the recent Ancestry.com acquisition moved to number 9 (up from #10) and Eastmans Online Genealogy Network moved up to #10 (from 17). The Top 10 also has one of the new websites (NARA) and MyHeritage.com (#2 — one of those websites that Alexa.com had not counted as a genealogy website, but which we included this time).
Next Year
I will begin dropping website that are ranked at or above 20Million to allow room for some new websites and to keep the list to 125. Please send me an email about any website that I should investigate for inclusion.
I will publish the future Rankings on or about the 1st of: March, June, September, and December going forward.

'Atta boy, Babs! This has been the most lopsided turnout in Hall of Fame history. I'll try to get the new list of candidates by the end of the weekend. All the best, congrats again to Bablaboushka!

quote:Originally posted by bablaboushkaHaha sorry Alex I didn't mean to mess up your system... I'm just a member who was (I think, leigh or the Admin would have to confirm) the first non-leigh-or-Admin mod of the forums and I used to contribute here a lot (heck, look at my number of posts haha). I was the first member to 1000 posts and I think 1500 and maybe 2000 also. It's been a while though... I definitely did not technologically "build" these forums so much as I just contributed a lot to them when contribution seemed to be at a low point.Alex, nice to see you're obviously contributing a great deal to these forums. And you're only 14? Sheesh. Keep it going, I'm sure the Admin loves it.For all other members: respect the mods and admins, period. They put a great deal of time into making sure the site is fun, inviting, informative and addictive.
