Making War, Talking Peace
by Matt Kennedy
One of the more disturbing aspects of the current Episcopal turmoil is the obsession many leaders have with language that denies the true extent and depth of our divisions.
There is, these leaders say, much more that unites us than divides us. We must "get on with the mission" and "agree to disagree." That, after all is the essence of Anglicanism. Peace in our time.
This quote from bishop Peter Lee of Virginia's pastoral address is a prime example:
One of the historic strengths of our Anglican tradition is our capacity to hold together persons with different emphases, even conflicting emphases in their understanding of the gospel. That historic Anglican tradition is threatened by the differences that now capture our attention. And our differences are too often leading us to focus on our internal life, rather than on the world to which we are sent by Christ's great commission and great commandment.
The problem is that our "insignificant sexuality dispute" is in reality symptomatic of an irreconcilable clash of worldviews.
The issue that divides us is not insignificant; it is basic, fundamental, essential: Where does authority lie?
Either the bible is the norm, the supreme authority in all matters of doctrine and practice, or it is not.
There is no middle ground.

Ever since I saw Via Media's plans for the Day After GC 2006, where they are going to start proceedings to depose our Bishops, I have viewed people that want "unity" with great distrust. They have alterior motives and will stop at nothing to ensure their lurid way of life. So deceptive. So wolf in sheeps clothing. So…serpent-like.
I'm thinking of the word charade. I'm also thinking of what a friend said upon returning to my former parish after having been gone since before GC '03, "Our church has been hijacked".
Has anyone seen the movie "King of Hearts"? It's set in France (where most lunacy commences) during the war. If you've seen it, does anyone think there are any analogies to what happens in the movie and what is going on in the revisionist parishes in ECUSA?
It would be a mistake to confuse the conflict within ECUSA with the battle for a faithful Anglican presence in the US. That battle has shifted to the formation of a new Anglican church within the US. The orthadox entered the so called War too late to win the struggle for the control and direction of ECUSA and as a result that battle is lost. All that remains on the ECUSA battlefield is skirmish over property.
The honorable approach would be for ECUSA to negotiate a respectful seperation with those orthadox parishes and Dioceses that feel they must leave. That should have happened a long time ago, but has been impeded by selfishness and pride.
While the skirmish over ECUSA was lost, the end of the overall battle is assured. Most of the new parishes that have been created, or will be created, are vibrant evangelical bodies. Those still in ECUSA can't appreciate how liberating it is not to have to fight against an increasingly heretical denomination. Christ's sheep will hear his voice, and over time will end up where the Good News in unapologetically preached.
I think the war is a two front affair. There is an inside strategy and an outside strategy. I do not think ECUSA can be reformed and the orthodox emerge dominant in the church as things stand today. I do think, as I said, that Anglicanism in NA (in full communion with canterbury) can be established and I think there is a strategy in play that makes both external and internal prongs of attack vital. So, while I respect your decision to leave. I think it important, for the time being for some to stay.
"Those still in ECUSA can't appreciate how liberating it is not to have to fight against an increasingly heretical denomination."
I can appreciate how liberating it is. I just haven't chosen to pursue that liberation of leaving, but rather to pursue the liberation that comes from God's call to pursue this conflict—to everything there is a time, and presently that time is of painful conflict.
I believe the fight is a worthy one—some others do not. Like Matt, I respect those who believe they must leave.
I didnt mean to suggest that those who have stayed are unfaithful. Yours is a special, unselfish calling. Your writings on this page are a clarion for those searching for the Truth.
However, for my family the question was: what is the "end game" of the "inside strategy", given that few believe that ECUSA will change course, at least in our lifetimes. Frankly, it is hard for me to see reform happening even in our childrens' lifetimes given the dynamics in our seminaries. Is the inside strategy then really just a hope of forcing an accomidation that allows a seperate, non-ECUSA Anglican structure in the US (tied in some fashion with the AOC), at which time the "insiders" join the "outsiders"?
When my family was pondering what to do, we tried to discern whether there was a reasonable chance of internal reform, or whether the inside strategy was at best simply a decision to stay a couple of more years in the hopes of an amicable division. We ultmately concluded it was the latter. A member of our family then asked the million dollar question: "Why would we want to stay in a denomination that we cannot support and which we are actually planning to leave?"
Granted, our children have benefited from participating the debates over the importance and application of Holy Scripture resulting from the controversy within ECUSA. However, we did not want all of their formative years spent in a denomination that we could not support wholeheartedly. We wanted their church memories to be those of unrestrained worship, not controversy. We certainly didnt want to point them toward to an Episcopal college ministry in a few years.
As parents, we didnt feel we had fifty years, or even two. We simply had to chart a safe course for our kids. I regret it led away from the Episcopal Church.
I understand, Timothy—I have two brothers who needed to do the same thing.
You brought up something of interest to me: "However, for my family the question was: what is the "end game" of the "inside strategy", given that few believe that ECUSA will change course, at least in our lifetimes. . . . the inside strategy was at best simply a decision to stay a couple of more years in the hopes of an amicable division."
I speak only for myself, but in one category of thought I can provide some answers [again, for me]. Setting aside the multitude of practical reasons that are "Episcopalian" or "Anglican" for the inside strategy [which it is not fitting that I go into on blogland]—[and these are different from the hope of an amicable division]—I would add three broadly "cultural" reasons.
The US is undergoing a sea change from a recognized "Christian" culture to a pagan culture. This is arriving in fits and starts . . . but the battle rages all around us. Two of the questions before the house are 1) Will America experience the Great Awakening that is needed before it is too late—some say no, others say maybe, and 2) Will the church *also* undergo a sea change from "recognized Christian" to supporting the pagan culture that some in America are pursuing and promoting.
Given those two theses . . . and given that all around us the battle rages . . . and given that when one leaves one battle, one is *duty-bound* to enter the fray in another place and manner . . . is there something to be gained for the battle to continue on in a seemingly hopeless situation like the Episcopal church?
I believe so. I liken the fight to one held off in a far corner of the battlefield over a little stone bridge over a river in the middle of the woods. The badly outnumbered forces gain three things when they continue the fight. First, the Worthy Opponents cannot claim the bridge. They may *bray* about the bridge, in much the same way that the enemy did so outside the walls of Jerusalem. They may *predict* about the bridge. They may *gloat* about the bridge. But while the fight continues the bridge is not won.
Second, the Worthy Opponents take losses. In our cases, the losses are not physical—they are public, however. If *all* reasserters had marched out August 5, 2003 . . . *far fewer* press and publicity reports would have gone out, far fewer allies would have appeared internationally, no Windsor Report would have occurred, far less education of the moderates would have occurred, far less *clarity* would have occurred—not enough time to get communication out—and far less *connection* would have occurred. Our Worthy Opponents would have swept in, claimed their trophy, triumphed about it a bit, and there would have been very little damage to the revisionist leadership's or the institution of 815's credibility or reputation—because it would have been perceived that *the victory was deserved*. I believe that now, 2.5 years later, the majority of public opinion, not in ECUSA but in the US and internationally, recognizes that, in fact, *the victory is not deserved* whether it occurred or not. In other words, even if one grants that one lost the little stone bridge—as long as the battle rages, the losses in publicity and power and reputation and credibility and "spin-power" continue to mount. And make no mistake about it—as one who has done a whole lot of marketing for organizations—yes, the losses to the Brand that 815 and its allies are promoting continue the slow climb.
Finally, of course, ceasing the battle for the little stone bridge means . . . that our Worthy Opponents may then use that little stone bridge as a base for further unhindered sorties and operations out in the broader culture. They may, in effect, send troops out into further battles with broader audiences, reinforcing their fellow troops that are fighting these battles all over the battlefield. This is something that ought to be delayed, if only for the sake of our brothers and sisters the next bridge, wood, plain, or city wall over.
I say the above not to try to convince people to "stay" . . . [although if one stays, one must fight] . . . nor to make anyone feel anything negative about leaving [the troops assemble at their duty stations where they are summoned by their General], but simply to provide a somewhat different perspective on all of this that may be helpful to some people who are out there like me.
Thank you, Sarah.
Your analogy also brought to mind another image. This is an Anglican Dunkirk, and my family has joined others who have gotten in the boats for the safety of England (in our case, an Anglican Church under an African Bishop).
You and others remain on the beach, under fire, directing others to the safety of the boats.
We will be waiting for you across the channel. You will be needed for the next stage of the War.
Timothy and Sarah,
Thank you for your enlightening exchange. Sitting here in exile in our evangelical mega church (Orthodox choices being too far away to be considered)we find ourselves still drawn to support the battle, even if we cannot fight ourselves at this time.
It is comfort (sometimes small) to know that ultimately the Battle is already won.
Blessing you both, and praying for us all.
Thank you both for the kind words—I need to add that I have been aided in the formation of the "question before the house" #2 by a bright layperson who wishes to remain anonymous.
And Os Guinness really explores question #1 well, most recently at the Mere Anglicanism conference in Charleston.
It's nice for all of us to be helping one another in wrestling with and articulating what we are going through, which is intense and vital and nervewracking all at once.
Matt, looks like John Wilkins doesn't care for your "Bible worship" one bit. Phil Snyder is standing tough, though. Good for him.
OFF TOPIC, but I think the efforts in the S. Dakota, Miss. and Ala. legislature to pass sweeping abortion bans (as posted on this site) are actually counterproductive for the pro-life movement. Why? Because they help the pro-choice movement in galvanizing opposition to what will hopefully be President Bush's next Supreme Court nominee, the one that could actually shift the court balance. On the other hand, these state laws will do little immediate good, since no one expects the current court, even with the addition of Justices Roberts and Alito, to overturn Roe v. Wade. That means an across the board ban will surely get overturned. It would be far better to now concentrate on those legal and legislative areas where there is a public consensus, such as with partial birth abortions and to work on a greater public awareness of the overall issue.
I sometimes wonder if some of the crafty political strategists on the right and left really want a reversal of Wade. Perhaps what they really want is the Supreme Ct. just where it is, slightly favoring Wade, and with a never ending public controversy over the subject. That is perfect for fundraising and "energizing the base". If so, the action we are seeing in the state legislatures is the perfect strategy.

College Baseball: St. Xavier earns split with Purdue North Central
By Tim O'Brien For Sun-Times Media April 29, 2014 8:44PM
Updated: April 29, 2014 10:33PM
Two losses in Tuesday's doubleheader wouldn't have been the end of the world, and more important, the end of the season, for St. Xavier.
With some help from conference rivals, the Cougars still could qualify for this week's Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Association Tournament.
But no, Chris Klein and his teammates weren't interested in help. They wanted to stamp their own ticket.
After dropping the opener 4-1 to visiting Purdue North Central, St. Xavier's bats came alive in a 10-0 win in eight innings in a CCAC crossover. As it stands entering play Wednesday, St. Xavier would be the No. 4 seed in the tourney.
"Last year we're in the same situation where we've got to win some games and rely on some other teams to get in," Klein said. "We didn't want to put ourselves in that situation this year. We had to go ahead and win a big game."
Klein came up a double short of a cycle, finishing 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI for St. Xavier (21-27, 15-11). Ryan Pellack, Jim Augle, Bryan Polak and Brad Myjak added two RBI apiece.
The home game was the last for St. Xavier coach Mike Dooley, who will retire at the end of the season after 22 years in the dugout for the Cougars.
"You want to play your way in, not back in," Dooley said. "I knew walking to the field (Wednesday) this would be it. Everything comes to an end. I'm prepared for it. Is it emotional? Yes, but it's great to go out with a win."
In Game 2, Dooley's squad scored at least one run in six of the eight innings, with two apiece in the first and second. Klein hit a bomb of a solo blast to left-center field in the fourth.
"We had a reality check after the first game," Klein said. "We had to start putting the ball in play and had a good approach hitting the ball the other way."
Jesse Lopez (5-4) scattered eight hits and two walks over seven innings, striking out three for Game 2 win.
Purdue North Central (22-25, 13-14) won the opener behind a strong pitching performance from Dan Snyder. The junior threw a complete game in the seven-inning contest, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts.
With the loss in the second game, the Panthers look to be on the outside looking in to qualify for the CCAC tourney. Robert Morris and Holy Cross will play a doubleheader Wednesday with huge postseason implications for all three teams.
"We had to get our early, and we did in the first game," Purdue coach Shane Prance said. "We needed to do it the second game, and St. Xavier did it instead. They brought their bats out and beat us."

3 Jesse Livermore Rules for a Fed Taper
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Before I discuss the current market outlook, I'd like to summarize a few investment rules made famous by American stock trader Jesse Livermore that are especially pertinent this week:
Pivotal Points. The core of Livermore's timing strategy was built upon two categories of pivotal points. The first he called a reversal pivotal point and the second he called a continuation pivotal point. Optimum buy and sell opportunities occur when an investor is able to identify these key market moments. A speculator has to be patient, Livermore remarked that he always made money when he waited and traded on the confirmation of these pivotal points.
When entering a new trade rooted in a pivotal point thesis, Livermore let the market tell him what to do. He got his clues and cues from what the market told him. He did not anticipate: "To anticipate the market is to gamble; to be patient and react only when the market gives the signal is to speculate." One must be right on the moves but also right on the timing. Therefore, Livermore pioneered the probing strategy similar to a commanding officer sending out a reconnaissance platoon to probe the enemy lines and gather intelligence before unleashing the troops. Averaging into an allocation enables you to avoid pitfalls. If your initial allocation loses 10% it's time to cut losses, admit your mistake, and exit the trade. Averaging in is a sure way to confirm judgement.
If the line of least resistance cannot be identified, it is best to be in cash. The trend is your friend. No trend means get out. Investors should learn to be comfortable in cash.
With these three rules providing a conversational foundation, let's discuss the market outlook.
On Friday we were faced with a potential double whammy of negativity because of Federal Reserve bond purchase tapering on Wednesday and a Larry Summers nomination to Fed chairman by President Obama. Summers was a disaster waiting to happen because of his anti-stimulus bias. The decision to pull his name from consideration provides the stock market with a significant long-term boost.

BEAUTIFUL CURTAINS I ordered the 63" curtains. They are getting harder to find for a reasonable price. These curtains were so full I only needed 3 for a double window. June 18, 2014
Windsor Lace Panel This panel is somewhat less "airy" than pictured in the Blair catalog and the natural color I ordered was a little darker than I expected, but I hung them in a bright bedroom and was thrilled with how the open weave let in the light and the pattern coordinated beautifully with the existing floral drapery. I've purchased many lace curtains over the years and these are at the top of my list for quality for the price. May 10, 2014
We are VERY happy with the new Panels and Valance. The new Panels and Valance look so beautiful in the kitchen and I love inviting friends and family to see them. April 12, 2014

Earlier today, The Verge published a pretty damning report alleging that Uber was essentially shutting down its taxi service in New York City. The worst allegations involved the claim that multiple drivers received messages calling them into headquarters to get paid a cash bonus, only when the cabbies got there, "Uber surprised them by asking for the device back, informing them that taxi service was no longer available in New York." Another driver told the Verge that Uber offered $1,000 to sign up for its black car service instead. (As earlier screenshots obtained by Betabeat show, Uber has offered cash rewards to drivers in the past.)
Not long after, Uber admitted on its blog that UberTAXI has shut down operations in New York "for now," emphasizing that no changes have been made to its black car service. With yesterday's news of Square shutting down its pilot program in New York City, this is the second setback of sorts as technological advances to the taxi-riding experience try to make their way into the market. Square also promised it would try again soon–but unlike Uber, its program had official approval.
"We invested a fair amount of money in the UberTAXI in New York after initially getting a verbal greenlight from the TLC," CEO Travis Kalanick told Betabeat of the amount Uber spent on its month-long test run, which involved a week of free rides to every New Yorker at $25/piece–for those who actually managed to find a cab on the app.
Mr. Kalanick blamed a competitor for cabbie complaints reported by the Verge. "We originally took phones back from drivers who were inactive or not doing trips and that's all we've done so far," he said, of the callbacks that happened two or three weeks ago. "We haven't taken the other phones yet."
In today's post announcing the shutdown, Mr. Kalanick said Uber expected its taxi service to be back online next year. But when we asked if Uber was still a contender in Taxi and Limousine Commission's RFP for a smartphone app, which is slated to make some progress in November, Mr. Kalanick seemed dubious. "I'm generally pretty skeptical that the RFP is actually going to result in anything commercially viable," he told Betabeat.
Back in September, Betabeat broke the news that Uber decided to approach New York's taxi market with the same bull-in-a-bureaucratic-china-shop aggression it has employed in other cities, jumping the gun on the RFP. The TLC swatted down the plan with a statement telling drivers it had not yet authorized e-hailing or paying with smartphones (i.e. the service was illegal) and using it to pick up rides could result in fines or suspension.
Anti-innovation bullshit, cried the brash Mr. Kalanick, who continued to offer the taxi service first for free and then under the radar. "They never once cited a driver," said Mr. Kalanick who said riders had been using their credit cards on file to pay.
In a statement sent to Betabeat, TLC commissioner David Yassky emphasized that the agency wants to move toward rules that will govern how smartphone options for yellow cab riders can function in New York City. However, the TLC is still under contract with Verifone and CMT, who run "TPEP," the credit card swipers and TVs in the partition of your taxi. Those contracts don't expire until February 15th and the RFP dictated working with Verifone and CMT. Said Mr. Yassky:
"In recent months, as e-hail apps have emerged, TLC has undertaken serious diligence and is moving toward rule changes that will open the market to app developers and other innovators. Those changes cannot legally take place until our existing exclusive contracts expire in February. We are committed to making it as easy as possible to get a safe, legal ride in a New York City taxi, and are excited to see how emerging technology can improve that process. Our taxis have always been on the cutting edge of technological innovation, from GPS systems to credit card readers."
The proposal Uber submitted to the RFP took a "partnership style approach," noting what the company offers in terms of dispatch and saying that Uber would be "happy to partner with any of the other applicants for an RFP-oriented solution with payments." Of course, he didn't wait around for the RFP.
It's worth noting that at a recent (incredibly tense!) City Council hearing, council members scolded the TLC for taking proposals for companies before they ever actually put forth new rules on how these apps should be run. In today's blog post announcing the temporary end of UberTAXI, Mr. Kalanick also unsurprisingly blamed the TLC for the utter impossibility of actually being able to even test it out.
"Unfortunately, as many of you have noticed, there haven't been enough available TAXIs. Demand far out-stripped supply, making you feel pretty lucky when you got a yellow from your iPhone. We did the best we could to get more yellows on the road but New York's TLC (Taxi and Limousine Commission) put up obstacles and roadblocks in order to squash the effort around e-hail, which they privately have said is legal under the rules. We'll bite our tongues and keep our frustration here to ourselves."
In the blog post, Mr. Kalanick also offered some insight into how the month-long attempt played out. A total of 160 cabbies participated in the beta run. He said those were the number of cabbies that actually did rides, not just the ones that were onboarded. In September, Uber started out with 105 cabbies pre-registered and said they had hoped to add 500 the week it debuted.
Uber is currently facing pushback from authorities in other cities as well, as well as lawsuit for consumer fraud in Chicago. In the post, Uber pointed out that you can still use its taxi service in Boston and Toronto. Uber is currently offering free rides in Boston. And Hailo, whose potential entry into New York has been credited with inspiring Uber's rush to market in the first place, recently announced that it is a fully licensed taxi company in Toronto.
Alfred LaGasse, CEO of the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association who has decried Uber as a rogue app offered the following statement upon hearing the news: "If you willfully disregard regulations, it's going to cost you. The regulations aren't there as suggestions. Yet in almost every market where Uber operates, it acts as if rules don't apply to them. That's bad for public safety, it's a poor business model, and I believe that elected officials across North America are beginning to understand this."

I know that I said I'd leave you alone, but things are really messed up. With nobody to support me, as it usually is, I end up running into a lot of people that are socially engineering situations. Atheists have ensured that my account is suspended as soon as I reopen it. Meanwhile, you're helping other people, and don't want to talk to me. I didn't want to talk to you for a while either, because it's really horrible that you just left me for thinking that it's disgusting for you to be with an old man.
Why can't anyone show the same respect for me that they show for others. Other people don't like this guy. A lot of the people you hang out with are proven Satanists (@JustJen33 and @Raincutter) and pedophiles (@Raincutter and @TheSoufulEMU), so why won't you help me? I need help, Sarah. I need somebody to appreciate me. I've appreciated you.
You break my heart with this stuff. It's not okay.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Sheffield Steelers have appointed former player Gerad Adams as their new head coach for the rest of the Elite League season.
The 35-year-old Canadian - part of the league and play-off double-winning Steelers side in 2004 - left his role as player-coach of Cardiff Devils in December after nine years in south Wales.
Adams will take charge for the first time at Nottingham Panthers on Saturday, with his first home game coming against Devils in Sheffield on Sunday.
He said: "This is a great opportunity. I came to the Steelers as a player all those years ago because I wanted to win - nothing has changed.
"I'm back in Sheffield because I want to win. The Steelers have a great group of players, experienced, talented and I am sure as desperate to win as I am."

Our story is just beginning. Nearly two decades ago, I answered a call to high adventure and began the arduous task of assembling a visionary team with incredible talent. Together, we've encountered extraordinary challenges and celebrated monumental victories.
Today Anthem's ventures drive billions in revenue for the world's most important and emerging brands. We develop proven data sciences methodologies, harness deep insights, and leverage marketing expertise to create unique campaign solutions.
After years of crafting industry-changing solutions for our clients and providing unparalleled customer service, Anthem has become a highly regarded resource for thousands of decision driven companies and executives in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
My attitudes toward work and the definition of success have been shaped and honed through many trials, the keen observation of others, and my work, life and athletic experiences. I think it is valuable to share these with you here as they are the cornerstone of all our relationships.
Enjoy the Journey
Often, I find myself repeating the mantra "we better be having fun!" This has become Anthem's rallying call, a great distillation of the most important of our company values: Enjoy the Journey.
We realize that goals evolve. Instead of chasing an arbitrary point in space, the expectation is to love what we do, today. Enjoyment of life is an ongoing process, not a destination.
Deliver a Superior Lifestyle
We moved our headquarters office from a highly coveted landmark high rise to a bustling retail and dining destination. Why? The move is symbolic on several fronts. Having restaurants, nightlife, access to running and biking trails and an organic market all within walking distance makes life better! Instead of cramped cubicles and death march of a 9 to 5 workday, our loft style workspaces, cloud based productivity solutions and remote work mentality allow Anthem employees to easily collaborate and interact with each other – and our customers – all over the world – all the time.
We've made significant investments in technologies that enable our employees to be highly productive and mobile. Robust enterprise technologies and mobile applications guarantee our clients receive benchmark service while providing an unparalleled lifestyle for our team. As a result, we attract and retain the best and brightest talent across all functions.
Stay in Constant Motion
Organizations and client relationships are built on a foundation of consistent effort. Every day we attempt to exceed client expectations by exploring possibilities and evolving alongside them, learning when best to leverage emerging technologies and marketing practices. By holding each other accountable to this transformation and attitude of continual improvement, Anthem is able to build incredible value.
Never Settle for Done
I gravitate towards people and companies who possess an innate sense of adventure and enthusiasm– this has made Anthem a magnet for the entrepreneurial, the driven, the independent thinkers. With our well-measured feedback loops and account service philosophy, we have been able to create a unique culture of continuous improvement.
Whether you are considering joining our team, engaging one of our companies to solve a complex need or evaluating potential strategic or financial partnerships, I encourage you to connect.
Thanks for visiting us!

I followed the tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-ho...-on-centos-6.2
But instead of centos 6.2 I have 6.3.
I also had to make a few changes for folowing reasons:
I have a /ierp/www/ierp folder wich has a "ln -s /ierp/www/ierp /var/www/html"
Becouse this will be my webroot
I want one user to have ftp access to /ierp/www
So in mysql database I have /ierp/www as homedir for that user.
mysql is also moved to /ierp/mysql and my socket is set to
MYSQLSocket /ierp/mysql/mysql.sock
mysql works fine after the replace (Owncloud is working on this server)
I also changed the bind parameter 0.0.0.0,21 to 0.0.0.0,10021
I listen on port 10021.
(And I opened this port in the firewall ofcource)
Now when I connect to the ftp server
and I loggin with the username and password wich I created in the database.
It will login but I gives me the error that It can't open folderlist (this could be a bad translation of "Kan de mappenlijst niet openen")
I changed rights on the www folder like this:
groupadd ierp
usermod -a -G ierp apache
usermod -a -G ierp ftpuser
chown apache:ierp /ierp/www/ierp
Same result.
What did I do wrong?
Issue solved.
I forgot that it is passive FTP. So I opened the port range 30000:50000 and uncommented the passive port range in the config file. Now it all works!

Lollapalooza ROCKED!!!!!!! but i'll start at the beggining. Jon and I drove up to west palm tuesday afternoon and passed our exit by about 10 miles. when we got there we checked out all the booths first. We got a free dj lesson, which was cool. I suck at dj'ing though. think i'll stick with the bass. We watched some girls get their chests air brushed, played some games at the x box tent, ate some food, and then went to the main stage. now for the run down of the bands
The distillers - sucked,
donnas - ok,
Jurassic 5 was awesome. they actually have 6 guys in the band which is very misleading. they came out and played 20 minutes continuously. You couldn't even tell were one song ended and the other started. Then their 2 DJ's rocked out for a while and played with some crazy equipment. the most interesting was a childs toy that makes different sounds when you push a button. they some how made this really tight beat with only two of those.
Queens of the stone age - wasn't impressed,
Incubus - what can i say about one of my favorite bands other than they kicked ass. THis is the first time i'd seen them without dirk lance. THe new bassist seems cool though. They opened to the Mario theme from the first world. one of the coolest openings ever. They played some stuff off of make yourself and morning view and threw vitamin into the mix. They also played 3 new songs that will be on their next cd. They also had a couple little jam sessions between songs. Wished they would play some stuff from fungus amongus or science. All in all though it was a great show.
Audio Slave - Tom Morello has to be the best guitarist i've seen in concert. he did things with a guitar i wouldn't have even thought to try. Kinda like hendrix playing with his teeth. who woulda thunk it? Chris Cornell is a great singer. I enjoyed seeing them live. woulda liked to see Rage before they broke up but cornell replaces de la rocha nicely and the band sounds better for it.
Jane's Addiction - didn't see em. I had to big of a headache from dehydration by that time that i just wanted to go home.
We stopped by steak 'n shake on the way home. didn't get through one bite before i felt like pukeing, so i packed it up and headed home.
9 more day's til ORLANDO!!!!

Gotta love free tickets
I took my little brother and his friend to the Poison Skid Row show that my dad got tickets for. GLAM ROCK!!!!! We were gonna go just to make fun of the old hair bands but we ended up having a great time. Vince Neil put on a great show and then Poison just tore the place up. It was an amazing show! I would love to see them again.
Wish i could have found someone to give our fourth ticket to. Such a waist.
Now I'm looking forward to this Tuesday. LOLLAPOLOZZA!!!!!!! I was gonna take my big sister, Angela, but she's whimping out on me cuz of a band aid! What's that about? So now i have an extra ticket to lolapolozza. If you wanna go, hit me up. Would hate to go to such a great concert without anyone else.

can you tell me how to get, how to get to Seasame Street
The Count's Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderIt started with a simple affection for counting and
the terror it induced in others, didn't it?
But now it's turned into a full-blown life-
consuming chaotic nightmare of order,
repetition, zealousness, and perfectionism.
You used to be so grand, but now you find
yourself obsessively worrying over the littlest
things--like, maybe if you don't check the
light switch at least once every two minutes,
the electricity will go out (and damnit, you're
a vampire--that shouldn't be a problem!), or
maybe if you don't wash your hands until your
seams are coming out, you'll get some fatal
disease. Get yourself some treatment.

i woke up today about 10 minutes before i had to be at work and was only 5 minutes late but nobody cared. nobody ever cares. I was still half asleep cuz i had almost no sleep last night. Luckily Jay had made some coffee. Not as strong as his fathers day brew but still pretty strong. i'll tell ya about the fathers day brew some other time.
after work i passed out for a few hours then woke up and went to the mall with my little brother and sister. We came home to find nobody there. So we called around and found that my parents were at the Ale House. so we drove over there and had dinner. It's a pretty cool place, much like the Ale House's in Orlando. go figure, they're the same company.
The most exciting thing today was i learned how to play some pink floyd and the doors on my bass. Still working on hello, i love you but i got Money down. I love my bass even though my fingers are rubbed raw. Think tmw i'll go out and buy an amp for it so i don't have to kep using my brothers guitar amp. don't want to blow it. that would suck.

can't sleep
So once again i'm trying to sleep and I just lie in bed thinking about stuff that I can't even do anything about. But i still worry about em and it keeps me up forever. Realizing that i'm never gonna get to sleep I decided to write my first entry in almost a month.
I just got back from a trip to Panama City and New Symerna. The trip was awesome, and i got to see my cousins peyton, 7, layne, 4, and the twins, john and ben, who are almost 3. My cousins are the cutest. i got pictures to prove it. got $ from granny for the hell of it. Bonus!!! Ohhh and i got to drive a Mercedes clk 430. I know your jealous. I didn't really like the car that much though. the brakes were way to sensitive and the gas and dead spots where you would push it and nothing would happen. I would never spend the 70k on it. '69 Chevy Corvette! now that's for me.
anyways, i got off work today at midnight and i have to be back in by 10am. it's almost 2 now so by the time i get to sleep i'll have to head off to work. Bummer! I did see myself on tv today though while i was at work. well it wasn't actually me but everyone said it was me in about 10 year. It was some news anchor on MSNBC, i forget his name. but it was kind cool and creepy at the same time. he looked so much like me, the hair, the eyes, the face, everything! i can't wait to quit work, Again!
Only 15 more days til i move back up to Orlando. I can't wait to get there. so much to do between now and then though. doctors appointments. possible lollapolozza concert. packing, all kinds of crazy stuff.
Beta Kicks ass, we just got our charter. Zeta Psi baby!!!!!! WE're gonna rock UCF this Fall. we got ben on scholarship and me and ken on recruitment, we should have a 20 man pledge class. So much to do to get ready for Rush though. Hope i get it all done and don't screw it up. heh that would suck.
well i think that's it for now. hopefully i'll update this again within a month. I'm bad at routines, and spelling. pretty sure i spelled that wrong. anyways i'm out.
oohhh and congrats to all my new brothers on their initiation and to the Zeta Psi chapter of Beta Theta Pi. ~kai~

House Cleaning
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I awoke to the loud noice coming from my door.
"wake Up!" i heard my mom say as she went from room to room waking everyone up.
The clock beside me informed me it was an early 9 am. Much earlier than i needed to be up on any other Sunday. I knew that today would be one filled with errands and house cleaning.
My brothers and sister were moping about the kitchen still in there pajamas searching for breakfast. I joined them in their quest and was able to procure the last of the milk for my cereal.
Once breakfast was finished my mom started assigning the first of the days tasks. The Living room was our first objective. We moved in swift and surprized the unsuspecting foriegn objects and carried them off to their respsective native habitats. My siblings were then assigned their next mission while I was prommoted to running errands with my dad.
Sears was all but empty when we arrived. We had come to find a new lawn weed whacker. The Lawn and Garden section offered a number of options for our item. 22cc to 35cc engins, gas, electric, 2 cycle, and multi-function detachable accessories. we selected a fine craftsman 35 cc model with interchanable accessories that was on sale. Also in the Lawn and Garden section was a large 20' x 12' garden tent for only $90, just perfect for a rush tent! I'll take one!!! "Dad, give me your cell phone." ring, ring, ring. "Joe" "Yea?" "you gotta come check out this tent" "OK, I'll be there in a few" click.
Back at home we assemble the weed whacker (whacker is a funny word) and fill it with the 89 octane gasoline and 2 cycle engine oil in the correct ratio, switch to on, prime, and pull. vrrrrm vrrrmmm vr........... it dies. On, prime, choke, and pull. vrrrrmmm vrrrrmm vrrrmmmm!!!! it works! overgrown grass, ..prepare to die! mwuhahaha. vrrrrrmmmm vrrrmmmmm vrr....... DEAD!!!! On, Prime, and Pull. On, Prime and Pull....not working. and down came the rain. Demoted back to cleaning detail.
4pm and the house is looking pretty good, some of it, for the most part. The rain had stopped and it was back to the store to replace the defunct weed whacker and pick up another Tent. Luckily, there were still a few more weed whackers left by the time we got there. Unluckily, they had sold out of tents and I had to get a rain check. good, this gives me time to set up the tent i already have and find out if it's the one we really want to use. So that's where I am now. putting up a big ass tent

BIG SALE!!!!! yea right
Another day another dollar. Working at Carrabbas this summer isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's a lot easier working in the back on prep durring the day than working the line at night. not as much stress, ya know? Today I had a larger list of items to prep, so it took a lot longer than usuall.
By the time I got out from work, home, showered, and to the surf store for the sale, The place was packed!!!!!! I had to stand in line for 20 minutes just to get in. it wasn't that bad cuz the people next to me in line were cool and there was a live band outside so time went by at a quicker pace. any ways, i bought a skim board and got a new pair of oakley sandals :) the sale turned out to be only 25% off the stuff i bought, so it wasn't that great of a deal, but it sure beats paying full price.
Ohh and I lost my cell phone and it's battery is dead so i can't call it :( I'll send out a search party for it tmw.
That's about it for now, ohhh i did set up a web site at www.geocities.com/ecsurf84/index.html . Nothing on it yet but it;s there!

First Entry
Well, I've managed to screw up my sleeping patern again by taking a 5 hour nap after I got home from work today. So now it's almost 3am (good OAR song by the way) and there no sign of sleep anywhere soon. and i have to be up in 5 hours to go back to work!
There's nothing to do anymore. I spent a good couple hours watching movies and designing ads for beta for the greek life brochure. So i'm done with that and started reading peoples away messages on AIM. I saw some journals and decided to set up one. i couldn't get a live journal cuz I didn't feel like spending any money and this site was the first free one i found :) .
Tomorrow there's supposed to be a big sale at the surf shop, so after work i'll probally drive over and see if I can find a new skim board. There's not a wave in site down here in S. Fla so my surf board is useless until hurricane season.
So, i've finished setting up this account and entered my first log and i'm back to where i started. Nothing to do. Maybe I'll find a free web site server and create a new web page. Haven't done that in ages. I'll post the link to the site if I get one.

Description And Comments
The underlying plot of every film in the Terminator catalog is this: At some point in the not-too-distant future, the military builds Skynet, a computer system so smart that it has the ability to learn about new threats and dangers, without being told explicitly what they are. Unfortunately, the system quickly figures out that the biggest threat to world peace is humans themselves. Skynet embarks on a decades-long war against mankind, eradicating most of it. The humans left, led by John Connor, fight back and are about to win when Skynet plays the ace up its sleeve: a robot is sent back in time to kill Connor's mother before he was born, which would alter history and assure Skynet's victory.
The first film in the Terminator franchise, released in 1984, picks up when the robot arrives in the "present," and the entire Terminator film franchise is a set of variations on the battle between time-traveling robotic assassins and members of the Connor clan. Its other notable characteristics are exceptional special effects, non-stop action and a homicidal robot played by pre-gubernatorial Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Universal's theme park adaptation is no exception, and combines live actors on multiple stages, walls of audio-animatronics and 3-D film technology into a fifteen-minute Cliffs Notes version of the franchise's second film.
The action unfolds on three walls of a 700-person theater, during which the live actors and 3-D film villains blend almost seamlessly into a pitched battle for the fate of mankind. Some of the special effects and computer-generated animation are outdated, and Arnold telling young John Connor to "bust a move" could be slightly more dated only if one of them was wearing a Backstreet Boys sweater, too. But overall the show works because of the fast pace, the sheer size of the presentation, and timeless appeal of shiny robots. Even shiny robots of death.
Touring Tips
- This attraction participates in Universal Express.
Terminator 2: 3-D has been eclipsed somewhat by newer attractions like Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, The Simpsons Ride, and Despicable Me. We suggest that you save Terminator and other theater presentations until you've experienced all the rides. Expect to wait less than 30 minutes.
Families with young children should know that the violence characteristic of the Terminator movies is present during the stage show, with plenty of shooting and explosion, but relatively little blood and guts.
Special Comments
- We rate this attraction as Not To Be Missed.
- This attraction may be frightening for children.
The nation's best theme park theater attraction; very intense for some preschoolers and grade-school
Special Needs
Stationary seating is available for those who need it. Parental discretion is advised.

As a result, a different interpretation and expectation for S&OP is emerging that entails better goals and broader competencies. In this paper, learn more about:

By KinaxisThe last few years have seen significant events around the world that have only heightened the awareness of how detrimental risk can be to the business. This has caused supply chain risk management to become front and center in organizations' minds. But the question is… are we looking at risk in the right way?Download
By KinaxisGlobalization of the supply chain, constrained supply and uneven demand necessitate that global automotive manufacturers align capacity with projected demand on a global basis.Unfortunately for most automotive manufacturers, their processes and systems aren't able to meet this challenge. Their supply chain continues to get more complex, but is currently planned and managed by disparate regional systems. These silos of information make it impossible to plan and manage their global supply chain dynamically in response to updated demand forecasts and capacity constraints. And those that leverage optimization-based planning systems on a local level are finding that this approach is not feasible at the global level.Download
By KinaxisThe loss of supply chain visibility as a result of outsourcing manufacturing operations is of real concern to OEMs. But it's the subsequent loss of control over the coordination of activities across the multi-tier supply chain that is creating the most risk and chaos for brand owners.A tactical exchange of data node-by-node through the global supply chain is no longer sufficient to achieve true collaboration between brand owners and suppliers in today's volatile business environment. What is required is a holistic, end-to-end supply chain planning and response management system, where everyone can understand the consequences of decisions up and down the supply chain.
By Kinaxis"One of the greatest fallacies when talking about planning is the belief that each part of the planning process is unique and therefore can be adequately performed in isolation. I don't believe that was ever really true, but it certainly isn't so in today's complex and volatile world."In reality, planning is a continuum, and each stage should be feeding the next and being informed by the previous. And with the volatility in today's business environment, the planning process should be a continuous one, no longer only performed on a fixed schedule. This is particularly pertinent when it comes to the demand and supply chain operations of a company."Trevor Miles is a Kinaxis thought leader and is a regular contributor to the 21st Century Supply Chain Blog. In this ebook you will find excerpts and links to resources and content that Trevor has contributed over time on many relevant sub-themes supporting his vision of an integrated supply chain.Download
By IndustryWeekBetter supply and demand planning outcomes means better business and operations performance, which is ultimately about the financials. Within a fairly narrow window of opportunity, improving agility by using supply chain response management tools can have an impact on both the top and bottom line. Adjusting and responding to changes as well as customer inquiries can mean the difference between losing business or winning a new customer. The ability to make faster and more profitable decisions enhances margins both internally and across the supply chain network. It's hard to find fault with that.Download
