Moscow, Russia - The world is currently being shaken by tectonic changes almost too numerous to count: the ongoing economic crisis is accelerating the degradation of international governance and supranational institutions, and both are occurring alongside a massive shift of economic and political power to Asia. Less than a quarter-century after Francis Fukuyama declared "the end of history", we seem to have arrived at the dawn of a new age of social and geopolitical upheaval. Dramatically, the Arab world has been swept by a revolutionary spring, though one that is rapidly becoming a chilly winter. Indeed, for the most part, the new regimes are combining the old authoritarianism with Islamism, resulting in further social stagnation, resentment and instability. Even more remarkable, however, are the social (and anti-social) grassroots demonstrations that are mushrooming in affluent Western societies. These protests have two major causes. First, social inequality has grown unabated in the West over the last quarter-century, owing in part to the disappearance of the Soviet Union and, with it, the threat of expansionist communism. The spectre of revolution had forced Western elites to use the power of the state to redistribute wealth and nurture the growth of loyal middle classes. But, when communism collapsed in its Eurasian heartland, the West's rich, believing that they had nothing more to fear, pressed to roll back the welfare state, causing inequality to rise rapidly. This was tolerable as long as the overall pie was expanding, but the global financial crisis in 2008 ended that. Second, over the past 15 years, hundreds of millions of jobs shifted to Asia, which offered inexpensive and often highly skilled labour. The West, euphoric from its victory over communism and its seemingly unstoppable economic growth, failed to implement necessary structural reforms (Germany and Sweden were rare exceptions). Instead, Western prosperity relied increasingly on debt. But the economic crisis has made it impossible to maintain a good life on borrowed money. Americans and Europeans are beginning to understand that neither they, nor their children, can assume that they will become wealthier over time. Governments now face the difficult task of implementing reforms that will hit the majority of voters hardest. In the meantime, the minority that has benefited financially over the past two decades is unlikely to give up its advantages without a fight. All of this cannot fail but to weaken Western democracy's allure in countries like Russia, where, unlike in the West or to a large extent the Arab world, those who are organising the massive demonstrations against the government belong to the economic elite. Theirs is a movement of political reform - demanding more freedom and government accountability - not of social protest, at least not yet. A few years ago, it was fashionable to worry about the challenge that authoritarian-style capitalism (for example, in China, Singapore, Malaysia or Russia) presented to Western democratic capitalism. Today, the problem is not only economic. Western capitalism's model of a society based on near-universal affluence and liberal democracy looks increasingly ineffective compared to the competition. Authoritarian countries' middle classes may push their leaders towards greater democracy, as in Russia, but Western democracies will also likely become more authoritarian. Indeed, measured against today's standards, Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower were comparatively authoritarian leaders. The West will have to re-adopt such an approach, or risk losing out globally as its ultra-right and ultra-left political forces consolidate their positions and its middle classes begin to dissolve. We must find ways to prevent the political polarisation that gave rise to totalitarian systems - communist and fascist - in the 20th century. Fortunately, this is possible. Communism and fascism were born and took root in societies demoralised by war, which is why all steps should be taken now to prevent the outbreak of war. This is becoming particularly relevant today, as the smell of war hangs over Iran. Israel, which is facing a surge of hostile sentiment among its neighbours in the wake of their "democratic" upheavals, is not the only interested party. Many people in the advanced countries, and even some in Russia, look increasingly supportive of a war with Iran, despite - or perhaps owing to - the need to address the ongoing global economic crisis and failure of international governance. At the same time, huge opportunities beckon in times of far-reaching change. Billions of people in Asia have extricated themselves from poverty. New markets and spheres for applying one's intellect, education and talents are appearing constantly. The world's power centres are beginning to counterbalance each other, undermining hegemonic ambitions and heralding a creative instability based on genuine multipolarity, with people gaining greater freedom to define their fate in the global arena. Paradoxically, today's global changes and challenges offer the potential for both peaceful coexistence and violent conflict. Whether fortunately or not, it is up to us - alone - to determine which future it will be. Sergei A Karaganov is Dean of the School of World Economics and International Affairs at Russia's National Research University Higher School of Economics.

If you haven't heard yet, plan ahead as the City of Round Rock's 14,000 sq.ft. skate park will be closed September 15 - 21 for maintenance. Grindline and Ideal Skatepark will be in town performing maintenance on the facility. During that week, we ask all skateboarders to please keep clear of the park so that routine maintenance work can get done as quickly as possible.
We did our best to coordinate the maintenance and postpone it until school was back in session so we didn't have to reduce summer hours. I know we're looking at some potential rain next week with Hurricane Ike, so check the blog and city's website www.roundrocktexas.gov/skatepark for updates.

The Tails Project's The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails)
Making delirious dictators worldwide quake in their boots, the Tails Project recently announced numerous improvements to its anonymity-obsessed Linux distro, The Amnesic Incognito Live System, aka Tails. Now in version 0.7, Tails is the spiritual successor of the well-known Incognito Live System and is developed with the support of the Tor Project, an onion routing project originally developed to protect US military communications. The live distro, which runs on any PC powerful enough to run Windows XP, is based on Debian Live and runs directly from CD and/or USB Flash memory. No trace is left after using Tails, thanks to many features, such as independent operation of all software and all hardware drivers from the PC's operating system, no permanent data storage and all the channeling of all Internet connections through the Tor anonymization network. "With Tails", say the distro developers, "we provide a tongue and a pen protected by state-of-the-art cryptography to guarantee...basic human rights and allow journalists worldwide to work and communicate freely and without fear of reprisal." The journalists of these pages humbly salute the valiant effort.

Hmmm. I tried the digital version.....blech. LJ just does not get it. I pay for editorial content, not "timeliness". That I can get anywhere... Not to mention "form factor"....sigh. There goes another one...
Copy and Paste
So, if it's a copy and paste article, do you have a URL for where it was copied from?
down hill
Copy and paste article, yes anyone could have done this one. Linux Journal has gone down hill over the last 2 years, re-writing articles from other Linux magazines and not putting much, if any real world content into the magazine. I got a card saying they are going to web based only subscriptions, why even bother at this point. If i didn't already pay for my subscription i would cancel, i will just let it run out. Sad to see Linux not being showcased the way it should be. Too many stupid articles about smart phones and advertisements for me, not to mention do-nothing articles about finding future dates and crap only programmers would be into. oh-well. Bye Linux Journal. RIP 2011
I totally agree. I sent a
I totally agree. I sent a formal complain to Linux Journal about this particular writer. I suggest everyone here does the same!
Contrary to the writeup, any
Contrary to the writeup, any hard drives are simply not mounted. However, the user can sudo -i into the root account and mount any hard drive, which is best done after disabling the network, saving any download from RAM to hard drive, and then unmounting the hard drive prior to re-enabling the network.
@James D'Angelo: How the hell
@James D'Angelo:
How the hell did this guy get to write for Linux Journal? I know teenage kids that can write better and have the intelligence to do at least 2 minutes of research on the topic they're writing about.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

General Information
Contact Dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is a common cause of persistent localized rashes. Contact dermatitis usually presents as localized raised red spots. Occasionally it progresses to localized blisters (e.g., poison ivy. Contact dermatitis only occurs after repeated contacts with the allergic substance. Once sensitized to a substance, however, reactions occur 12 to 24 hours after exposure. The location of the rash may suggest the cause.

I hate to be the one to break this to you guys, but the long gun registry is designed as a foundation for the national mass confiscation of most firearms. It's a one step process. Lieberals demand that gun owners shoulder the entire cost of the registry, gun ownership becomes prohibitively expensive as a result. We all need to start looking beyond the end of our noses on this one. Think about what I just said above and think about YOUR future. Look across the world for examples of what I speak of, like poor, disarmed (except for the criminals) Britain and poor, disarmed (except for the criminals, of course), inferno Jamaica. When what I said is going to happen does happen (you know it will; the lieberals are slime and the worst always happens with them) and we all hand in our rifles, what do you think all the Newfoundlander men who hunt are going to think of you and how you, either in ignorance or true evil, led along others to the destruction of Canadian firearms ownership more efficiently than the pied-piper himself? If I were you, I'd use false names when posting anti-gun propaganda (I'm not saying you're lying; you were probably successfully lied to). Less forgiving men than me will consequence you in many, many severe ways (Ever been confused as to why you were fired? Did you enjoy that sensation?) after you cause their disarmament, unintentionally or not. They will not listen as you try to state your intentions. I guarantee it. We're all going to be extremely, bring-the-wrath-of-God-down angry with you, though I am not angry as I write this now. I just bear a sad smile at this point in time. Think about all that. Let that sink in. What about YOUR heritage? The lieberals are definitely trying to confiscate all Canadian firearms. You can see this because every arguement that they have presented to defend the registry has been desicively mangled by us, the pro-gun "yahoos". The registry clearly has one purpose only. Here's another thing to digest: Maybe I'd still have my left pinkie and ring fingers if I had been allowed to shoot the intruder in my home a few years back. Instead I had to tackle him, he discharged pepperspray, and we both ended up rolling around on the floor stabbing each other with his knife. I hate to break this to you, but I honestly think he deserved to die for what he did to me, not go to jail for 2 years less a day. I'm a man and I didn't die so no one cares. I am the only one who feels the phantom pains of my wayward fingers (constantly). The whip was a giant spit in the face of Canadian democracy. It is a national disgrace that will not soon be forgotten. Herr Ignatieff must be obliterated from Canadian politics. We're working on it. I'm guessing that you have a few political issues that occupy your days. I have only one. I'm a polite man. Shoot an anti-gun arguement my way. I guarantee you I will shred it up immediately. I'll be polite about it though. I'm not a jerk. We need a conservative majority. If not for Iggy, this country would be getting run like a business, the same way Premier Williams runs Newfoundland like a business. And you love Danny. Come on. Admit it. You love his unopposed Conservative rule. Let's have some more of that. Think about these things carefully before you respond to me. I am sharp and perfectly informed on this issue. Please refrain from wasting my time with lieberal one liners. You will be ignored by me forever after you do that; well, after I cut your one liner to pieces and embarrass you severely. Go with God, Jim Post Script "...Hear the trumpets Hear the pipers One hundred million angels singing And the multitudes are marching To the big Kettle Drum..." The man is prepping to come around. I don't know what he wants, but history dictates that it will be aweful and there will be lots and lots of death. We are in Germany. It is 1934. Don't you think keeping your firearm would be smart at this point in time? Am I a little crazy? Yes. Am I more intelligent than you? The numbers say, "probably". The crazy ones always feel the Earth shiver before the quake and the line between insanity and genious is razor-thin.

Peter, well said, this is pure ideology and is straight out of the neocon playbook aiming at subverting government's ability to function. Just like Dubya, Harper is on his way to running deficits that are undoing any Liberal belt-tightening and buidling up military expenditures. Effectively tainting reliable data sources by removing the long form will result in government policy decisions being ill-informed at best. And, to boot this all plays very well in Red Deer or any other center of the government-suspecting right wing....you can almost hear it around the Tim's table, "He's ending the long gun registry, and stopping Ottawa snooping into my bedroom, heck, he's got my vote!"

On June 23rd the WRFD along with its assisting departments responded to the Bistro 614 at 614 Penn Ave for a reported structure fire. We arrived to find heavy fire conditions from the "D" side and rear of the building and reports that some of the occupants had not yet been accounted for. An interior attack was established by a crew from the Township of Spring Fire Department as well as searches of the building, confirming all occupants were out. Ladder 64 was setup to give crews access to the roof where some ventilation above the fire was performed. Thanks to the quick work of all companies, fire was contained to the building of origin and much of the building was saved from the flames. The West Reading Fire Marshal investigated the cause of the fire and it was determined to be electrical in nature. Thanks to all of the assisting companies that night: 79 (Wyomissing), 69 (Kenhorst), 85 (Spring Twp), 55 (Greenfields), City of Reading, 36 (Shillington), 18 (Western Berks), 42 (Cumru Township), Western Berks Ambulance, and especially the West Reading Police who did a search and did evacuate many of the occupants before we arrived. Also thanks to the Greenfields Fire Company for some great photos of the fire.

This is a liveblog for VMware Partner Exchange session TECHBC0320, "How VMware Leverages Microsoft Volume Shadow Services for Virtual Machine Snapshots". The presenter is Paul Vasquez with VMware; he works within the Technical Alliances Organization at VMware with a focus on backups.
The session starts out with an overview of VMware snapshots followed by a quick overview of Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services.
Vasquez is careful to distinguish VMware snapshots from array-based snapshots, which is good since that seems to confuse a number of people. VMware snapshots can include the state of memory (optional), settings, and disk. Snapshots are taken at the VM level, and up to 32 snapshots can be taken. Over 20 snapshots can cause performance concerns and, in Vasquez's words, "can cause undesirable results".
In general, a snapshot will include all disks although there are ways to exclude disks from a snapshot.
Operations involving VMware snapshots include taking a snapshot (self-explanatory), reverting to a snapshot (reverts the VM to the snapshot state, the delta file remains until the snapshot is deleted), and deleting a snapshot (delta file is removed, VM continues running in the current state).
Some use cases for snapshots include: rollback capability for testing patches or updates; rollback for failed software installation; protection against unwanted results of OS reconfigurations or testing; backups (for creating consistent copies of a VM); and replication.
The delta file grows as-needed; over time, the delta file will grow larger and larger. Vasquez cautions attendees to be sure to plan datastore sizes to account for snapshots for VMs and the delta file growth caused by the changes to those VMs.
A good question was raised about read I/Os and the impact of snapshots (does
The presentation now moves on to a discussion of VSS. One component of VSS is the requestor; the requestor makes a request from a provider, and the writer provides information on how to provide information to a requestor. Providers are included with Windows and are responsible for intercepting I/O requests to create and represent volume shadow copies on the file system. There are also 3rd party providers. In this context of this discussion (VSS integration with VMware snapshots), VMware Tools is the requestor.
There is a wide range of applications that provide VSS support, including Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, Active Directory, BITS, DHCP, and WINS. The
vssadmin list providers command will show all the providers. (Note that you won't see the VMware Tools when you run this command; it is dynamically loaded only at snapshot time and then unloaded.)
vssadmin list writers command will show a list of writers.
The general flow of operation with VSS runs like this:
- Requestor makes a shadow copy.
- The writer is told to freeze all I/O.
- The provider creates a shadow copy.
- The writer is told to "thaw," or resume, I/O to the application.
- The requestor now has access to the shadow copy.
The writer can support multiple enumerations, or different ways of coordinating the creation of the shadow copy. Exchange, for example, supports Full (backs up databases, logs, and checkpoints; truncates logs), Copy (backs up databases, logs, and checkpoints; does not truncate logs), Incremental (backs up and truncates logs), Differential (backs up logs but does not truncate). Of these, VMware uses the Copy enumeration when requesting shadow copies. Supposedly, the reason this is the case is to prevent interfering with backup applications that aren't aware that logs were truncated. In addition, when VMware calls VSS, all writers are engaged, so it's not possible to selectively choose which VSS writers should be engaged (can't engage VSS for Exchange but not SQL within the same VM, for example).
In the future, VMware Tools will offer granular control over which VSS enumeration is used. Granular control over which VSS writers can be engaged is also planned.
Vasquez now moves into a discussion of how VMware snapshots and VSS integrate together. When a VMware snapshot is taken, this is when VSS integration comes into play. Obviously, for VSS integration the VM must be powered on (the guest OS must be running in order for VSS to be operational).
Some form of quiescing is always used when a snapshot is taken (unless the VM is powered off). The VMware Sync driver provides a crash-consistent copy of the VM but doesn't interact with applications. This option is available in vSphere 4.0 and can be used when no VSS support from the application is available. Obviously, there is VSS support (hence this session), and there are pre- and post-quiesce scripts that can be used to create homebrew solutions as well. Both VSS and the Sync driver can be enabled using VMware Tools.
VSS support is enabled in VMware ESX 3.5 Update 2 or higher.
Going back to the VSS flow earlier, an additional step is present before the writer resumes I/O to take the VMware snapshot. After the VMware snapshot is taken, the shadow copy created by the provider is discarded because it is no longer needed. Once again, Vasquez reminds attendees that the VMware Tools Requestor only supports the copy enumeration.
An attendee asked if any plans were in place to do quiescing at the VMFS layer (supposedly to assist with hardware-based snapshots); Vasquez responds that some form of VMFS quiescing would be helpful, but there are challenges with that arrangement that make it currently very difficult to actually achieve.
(Vasquez also commented on the end-of-life policy for the ESX Service Console, but I'll hold on mentioning what was said until I verify the confidentiality of the statement.)
Some additional things to remember:
- VMware Tools build must be 110268 or higher.
- VMware Tools must be running and VSS must be functioning properly.
- VSS Service must be set to Manual or Automatic.
- ESX 3.5 Update 2 is required for VSS support.
- Be sure VSS support is installed with VMware Tools.
- Try not to keep VMware snapshots around for a long time. Manage snapshots carefully.
- Sync driver can be used as a failback in the event VSS support fails.
- VSS snapshot has a 10 second timeout. Rare cases could cause a failure of getting the VSS shadow copy.
Most of the information contained in this presentation are found in the current vSphere documents and in Microsoft's VSS documentation. (I'll update this post with URLs when possible.)
And that's it for the session.

I'm very anxious to hear what was said about the service console end of life policy. We're planning on moving to ESXi 4.0 with the upgrade to vSphere looming here soon. The biggest concerns aren't coming from me or my partner in crime to support the environment, rather it comes from everyone else who has any say and some from management. Part of our justification for the move, aside from the security aspects alone, are that we need to learn to operate without the service console. We might as well start now. I don't know if there is a time line or what it is that he said, but I'm extremely anxious to hear it, because if it confirms it is indeed going away in my lifetime, it will only add to the justifications for moving to ESXi.
I had the opportunity to attend a vSphere design workshop, and VMware's stance for installation is now 1) ESXi embedded whenever possible 2) ESXi installable (choosing the hardware appropriate version for HP, Dell, or IBM) and a distant 3rd option is ESX "classic".
That being said, there are a couple of factors that might prevent someone using ESXi such as hardware compatibility or an agent that is required to be installed on the ESX server such as a management or backup agent.
I have to say, troubleshooting ESX without a service console is among the most painful things I have ever attempted to do. I'm a little annoyed that I forgot to bring this up during PTAB since this is a hot button for myself and a couple fairly large customers.
Thanks for your reply Scott. Btw your Mastering VMware vSphere 4 book was great :). I read it cover to cover. Odd how I can read technical stuff like that and enjoy it, while other 'entertainment' material dries out my eye sockets.
Russell – I absolutely agree. Troubleshooting is much more cumbersome with ESXi….however, I can also appreciate VMware's position with wanting to minimize the possible attack surface. Of course, with most security enhancements there are trade-offs. As for me, I'll more than likely continue to use "classic", and consider managing them as ESXi hosts.
Hi Scott , great article. I agree with the new VSphere APIs there will be alot a interest in moving towards Image based backups. I think it should be noted that as it stands toady you will see no application quiesce in Windows 2008 leveraging the Vmware Tools VSS provider, I blogged about this here http://virtualy-anything.blogspot.com/2010/02/understanding-vss-in-vmware-backups.html
I don't buy the attack surface argument for a lot of reasons that really go outside the scope of this blog post commentary. Hopefully Scott can provide a post in which we can have a solid discussion; I don't want to hijack his main point (VSS) but I do think its an important discussion.

Tiny Tower – Basic Guide
Let's start with the introduction to gameplay element in the game so that you have a thorough understanding of how you should go about playing it.
Tower Bux
We call it the local currency of the game. Players can use it to build new flooring, upgraded elevators, or spend it on a Bitizen. If you play normally, then it will gradually Bux then spent depending on your needs and preferences can be earned.
If you really quickly, which I recommend, in order to enjoy the game properly, you can buy bux and they spend to speed things up. But if you choose the regular way, you will always be something to do in the game.
Bitizen are your people, to bring virtually any task you create items, ie to sell them and in a few coins to construct floors and extend to your tower.
Now you do not want to be able to adjust each Bitizen each floor, as she is certain specialties, and more generally preferences.In Bitizens you have faster your growth.
Bitizen work at their favorite places is to work efficiently and get you to trade in return a small bonus for this example. You can also Bitbook a kind of virtual social network for the workers who will be some helpful hints.
You begin the game with a single floor and then build it according to instructions. It is not a tower, of course, so it's your job to not only add more floors above, but also organize to make the task easy monitoring.
Each floor shares may have up to three entries, and each share a different timer, but once it sells, it's your job to know the Bitizens, so they order more.
When they are refilled, you can re-place for the sale. It is easy to examine a few floors, but as soon as your tower has 25 floors or so, you can arrange to go crazy the kind of thing is important if you do not want it to be a confusion in the later phases.
You may also want to turn off the local news when you're not playing the game, as in the worst of times, which, as you are with your girlfriend knows, maybe move. Be May? Anyway, if you are OK with the continuous beeps, they are on reminding you about the updates will keep in your tower.
Be sure to properly VIPs who can use a big difference in your production.
Tiny Tower Tips
Here are some tips that will help you quickly expand your tower.
In general, the more Bitizens you have, the more products you will be in a sale and thus more coins in short. time
Do not move to Bitizens on your own, so you need to make the moves. The experience level of Bitizen will tell you how much discount you receive, or restocking products.
Try that your floors are fully loaded before you leave the game. In this way, your stock is sold, most before you start playing it again.
Do not be hasty, and spend any cash you receive at the beginning of the game rather camp up to 50 bux and then swap it for 100.00 gold.
Select only the affected Bitizen, the skillful enough for the vacant position you have in your soil.

What do you do when you have four bitizens that all have the same dream job ?
Evict the least efficient.
Man this has to be the most dead on content ive seen so far among pages and pages of glgooe results, relating to the tiny tower app. (see how I refered to it only as an app and not a game)?Tiny towers has been horribly toxic to me. And while I stay away from many of the more common life-draining apps out there, I am still guilty though of my fair share of hours and days wasted over a new addictive app. Tiny towers however is by far the most crack-like app to sneak up and borrow my soul. Really great post

Wes Jackson, President of The Land Institute (founded in 1976), was born in 1936 on a farm near Topeka, Kansas. After attending Kansas Wesleyan (B.A Biology, 1958), he studied botany (M.A. University of Kansas, 1960) and genetics (Ph.D. North Carolina State University, 1967). He was a professor of biology at Kansas Wesleyan and later established the Environmental Studies department at California State University, Sacramento, where he became a tenured full professor. He resigned that position in 1976.
Dr. Jackson's writings include both papers and books. His most recent work, Consulting the Genius of the Place: An Ecological Approach to a New Agriculture, was published by Counterpoint Press in 2010. The Virtues of Ignorance: Complexity, Sustainability, and the Limits of Knowledge (2008) and Rooted in the Land: Essays on Community and Place (1996), were co-edited with William Vitek. Becoming Native to This Place, 1994, sketches his vision for the resettlement of America's rural communities. Altars of Unhewn Stone appeared in 1987 and Meeting the Expectations of the Land, edited with Wendell Berry and Bruce Colman, was published in 1984. New Roots for Agriculture, 1980, outlines the basis for the agricultural research at The Land Institute.
The work of The Land Institute has been featured extensively in the popular media including The Atlantic Monthly, Audubon, National Geographic, Time Magazine, The MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, and National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Life magazine named Wes Jackson as one of 18 individuals they predict will be among the 100 "important Americans of the 20th century." In the November 2005 issue, Smithsonian named him one of "35 Who Made a Difference" and in March, 2009 Wes was included in Rolling Stone's "100 Agents of Change."
Wes Jackson is a recipient of the Pew Conservation Scholars award (1990), a MacArthur Fellowship (1992), Right Livelihood Award (Stockholm), known as "Alternative Nobel Prize" (2000), and the Louis Bromfield Award (2010). He has received four honorary doctorates and in 2007 received the University of Kansas Distinguished Service Award.

Green Guy's Perfect Day: Biodynamic Margaret River, Western Australia
Western Australia is the biggest state in Australia, stretching from the open bush of the Kimberley region all the way down to the Southern Ocean. Perth is the capital and locals are happy to tell you it's the most remote big city in the world. They're not kidding. I recently spent a week there to check out the inaugural Margaret River Gourmet Escape Food Festival and explore all that the state had to offer.
The Margaret River area is on the southern coast of W.A. (as residents call it) and encompasses a huge swath of land. It's about three hours from Perth by car with small flights cutting the travel down to under an hour. As soon as I got there, something felt familiar. It took a little while to pin it down, but when I figured it out, my whole perspective changed. It's exactly like the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful forests sit right next to the Indian Ocean and there's an emphasis on wine that's neither snobby nor forced. If South Australia's Barossa region is the Napa of Australia, then Margaret River is Oregon's Willamette Valley.
My perfect day starts in downtown Margaret River on a Saturday morning. Just a few blocks off the main drag, you'll find the Margaret River Community Resource Center where they hold the weekly farmers' market. As you stroll through the various stalls, you'll find the usual mix of produce vendors, but you'll also get a wide range of meat (organic grass-fed beef, goat, and humanely-raised pork) and specialty producers selling everything from pickled walnuts to heirloom seedlings for beets and tomatoes.
Spend the rest of your morning walking through Margaret River's tiny downtown. You'll quickly realize that this place hasn't forgotten its surf town roots with small, independently-owned surf shops all over. The oldest is the aptly named Beach Life, which has been open for 25 years. If you didn't get your fill of artisanal goods at the market, stop in The Larder, a well-curated gourmet food shop brimming with olive oils, mustards, and pastas. The watchword here is local, so pick up some goat cheese and venison sausage to pair with all those fresh vegetables you just bought to get a true taste of the region.
Lunch is a bit of a drive away, but it's worth it. Cullen Wines in the Wilyabrup sector is one of Australia's best labels and they also happen to be completely biodynamic. Get a tour from Trevor Kent, one of the down-to-earth winemakers here, who's more than happy to talk about the finer points of being a biodynamic winery. There's also a stellar restaurant serving food from their organic garden. If they're offering the Sustainable Seafood Plate with local squid, scallops, and whiting, you absolutely have to order it. It was the best thing I ate all week.
After lunch, keep your mind on wine as you travel to some of Australia's best cellar doors. There are over 50 different wine producers in the region and you'll be remiss if you don't stop at Vasse Felix and Howard Park. In addition to Cullen, both are incredible examples of what the Margaret River produces and you'll know why when you try their respective semillion/sauvignon blanc blends – they're among the best in the world.
At this point, you're tired. Head to Pullman Resort Bunker Bay for some relaxing whale-watching. You can sit on the back patio and scan the ocean for the mammoth creatures who make regular visits in November. If you're a little tense, the resort's Mii Spa will give you much-needed stress relief, but don't take too long because you've got a bit of a drive to get to Pemberton for dinner at Foragers, a kind of rural Chez Panisse in the Southern Forests region where anything and everything fits squarely in the category of slow food.
As you enjoy bites of organic roasted kale and wood-fired bread fresh out of the oven, take a moment to close your eyes and appreciate where you are. It may feel like the coast of Washington State, but you're really in a W.A. a world away.

Summary: Into Thin Air ranks among the great adventure books of all time . . . a book of rare eloquence and power that could remain relevant for centuries.
--Galen Rowell, The Wall Street Journal When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty oth ...show moreer climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top. No one had noticed that the sky had begun to fill with clouds. Six hours later and 3,000 feet lower, in 70-knot winds and blinding snow, Krakauer collapsed in his tent, freezing, hallucinating from exhaustion and hypoxia, but safe. The following morning he learned that six of his fellow climbers hadn't made it back to their camp and were in a desperate struggle for their lives. When the storm finally passed, five of them would be dead, and the sixth so horribly frostbitten that his right hand would have to be amputated.
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest. A New York Times Editors' Choice as a best book of the year, a nominee for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, it has spent well over a year on The New York Times bestseller list and has been published to enormous acclaim around the world.
Now, in Into Thin Air: The Illustrated Edition, readers are given a new dimension of insight into this harrowing story with the addition of more than 250 photographs that show the people, the places, and the history, illustrating not only the ill-fated 1996 climb, but the pursuit of Everest itself. The book in-cludes the complete text of Into Thin Air, with a new Postscript by the author, and is lavishly illustrated with stunning black-and-white photographs, the ma-jority of which were taken during the 1996 expedition by the climbers themselves.
Into Thin Air has proven itself a modern classic of nonfiction writing; this new edition finally completes the story and puts it into a form that book lovers will want to keep on their shelves for years to come. ...show less

'Family' connections: How Phylicia Rashad found Stovall and his play set in Hyde Park
When Phylicia Rashad was cast as a replacement Violet Weston in Anna D. Shapiro's Broadway production of Tracy Letts' "August: Osage County," the Broadway gossip boards were abuzz with the notion of casting an African-American actress, best known for playing Clair Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," in a play that seemed to be very specifically about a dysfunctional white family, interlopers on the prairie. To some, it was akin to casting a white actor in a play by August Wilson.

- Q: What are the side effects of Strontium plus vitamin D3? What are its uses, contraindications, and does it causes depletion of calcium? If yes, how should I supplement calcium?
- A: Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones. Studies show supplementation with Strontium in its various forms is well tolerated. Strontium supplements need to be taken along with adequate calcium consumption. Animal studies suggest strontium is not effective and may even be counterproductive if your calcium intake is not normal. For best results, do not take strontium together with calcium because these two minerals compete at the sites of absorption. Strontium is taken first thing in the morning, half an hour to an hour before breakfast, or three hours after the last meal of the day. Take the calcium supplements separately, with a different meal. There are no known side effects of this supplement when taken at the directed doses. There have also been no long term studies on strontium, so it is not known what effects this supplement may have on the body and if there are any contraindications to taking this supplement.

'Back to Church Sunday' strong reminder of church value
The response to the recent "Back to Church Sunday" held two weeks ago is still being evaluated, but the concept is solid. For the past five years, at least, "Back to Church Sunday" has given church members an opportunity to reach out to those who have dropped out or who have never given church a try.
Lifeway Research found in a study conducted several years ago 67 percent of those not attending church would respond favorably to an invitation from a family member, and 63 percent would attend if a friend or neighbor invited them. People are willing to go if only church folks would invite them.
The challenge is to get people there so they can hear the Good News, experience the camaraderie, and develop a new habit that will enrich their lives.
The church is important. Jesus founded the church, and He died for the church. Paul, the New Testament writer, referred to the church as the bride of Christ. If we're committed to Jesus, then we must be committed to His bride. We should love what Jesus loves, and Jesus loves His church.
We need to first belong to Jesus, and then we should experience the joy of belonging to His church. We need church because we need each other. God designed us to be relational creatures. We need a personal relationship with Jesus, and we need to build relationships with one another.
Paul also referred to church as God's family (Ephesians 2:19b). We are members of God's family. Every person should belong and commit to a church family. Why?
First, I need you to walk with me. Colossians 2:6 reads, "Just as you receive Christ, so walk in Him." Our walk refers to our spiritual life. Walking suggests movement and forward progress. We need believers to help us move forward spiritually, to give encouragement and support.
Second, I need you to be honest with me. Don't have a critical spirit, but do hold me accountable. Care about me enough to let me know when I need to take a hard look at something.
Have you ever eaten lunch and then gone through your afternoon, talking to numerous people, and then look in the mirror and discover you had something green between your teeth? You think, "Why didn't somebody tell me?" Sometimes we need someone who cares to tell us to look in the mirror and correct a bad attitude, or remove some resentment.
Third, I need you to work beside me. The Bible is clear: we are not saved to be spectators, but to work and serve. Anytime you use the talents and gifts God has given you to help other people because you love the Lord and you desire to serve Him, that is ministry. Ephesians 2:10 reads, "God created us to do good works for Him."
Fourth, I need you to watch out for me. Philippians 2:4 reads, "Look out for one another's interests, not just your own." We need people who will protect us, and warn us when we're getting off track. This takes being honest a step further. Watching out relates to keeping us on the right path.
Fifth, I need you to weep with me. While describing the church, Paul wrote in I Corinthians 12:26, "If one member suffers, all members suffer." When life's crises hit, I need people who will be there for me. You don't have to say anything, just have a ministry of being there.
Sixth, I need you to pray for me. James 5:16 reads, "Pray for one another." Do you pray for your church family by name? Do you pray for your ministers every day? Prayer is the key that unlocks the wisdom and power of God.
Seventh, I need you to help me see the big picture. Too often we're short-sighted and see only today. Or we get wrapped up in this life and forget that no matter how many years we live on this earth, it's only a drop in the bucket compared to eternity. We need to develop an eternal perspective that helps us remember that this life is not all there is. The fact that we're going to spend eternity in heaven should shape how we approach life on this earth today.
Church folks aren't perfect, but they love Jesus and they'll love you. Why not give church a try this Sunday?

Aalto Vase, 3.75-In. HPrice: $75.00
Design by Alvar Aalto, 1936.
Made in Finland by Iittala.
Alvar Aalto's first sketches for his vases were playfully called "Eskimo woman's leather trousers". Nature played a great role in Alvar Aalto's life and creativity. The undulating forms of the objects in the Aalto collection are like the Finnish landscape with its thousands of lakes beautiful, alive, and untamed. Glassblowers at the Iittala factory still meticulously handcraft the legendary vases that are variations on one theme, fluid organic shapes that let the end user decide the use. Interpretations of the shape in new colors and materials add to the growing Alvar Aalto Collection and remain true to his original design idea.
It takes a team of seven skilled craftsmen working as one to create one Aalto vase — an icon of modern design. The Aalto Vase, 3.75-In. H is available in a wide range of colors.
Material(s): Mold-blown glass
Dimensions: 4.5" W X 3.69" D X 3.75" H
Designer: Alvar Aalto
(1898-1976) Born in Kuortane, Finland. Thanks to his original style and unique talents, Alvar Aalto is one of the greatest names in modern architecture and design. During his career, he designed many buildings in different parts of the world: concert halls, libraries, hospitals, museums, and private homes, including the Villa Mairea. His furniture and lamps, often starting out as a part of the buildings he designed, are produced together with Finnish Artek.View other products by Alvar Aalto
Manufacturer: Iittala
iittala: Timeless design since 1881.
In the early years of modernism and functionalism, during the 1930s and 40s, pioneers like Alvar Aalto and Kaj Franck led the development of the Iittala brand. Their belief was that objects should always be designed with a thought, essential and above all, available to all. It was their thinking that set the foundation for the Iittala design philosophy — to push the boundaries and to give people beauty and function.
Iittala strives to create icons that will last a lifetime. What started as a glass factory in Iittala, Finland, now celebrates generations of essential objects that are made to enrich people's everyday lives. More than just beautiful objects, Iittala creates timeless designs that will never be thrown away.View other products from Iittala

Radicalization in the West: Homegrown threat
Radicalization in the West: Homegrown threat by Mitchell Silber and Arvin Bhatt The NYPD Intelligence Division has just released a report that examines the radical terrorist threat posed by domestic sources in the United States. From the preface: "While the threat from overseas remains, many of the terrorist attacks or thwarted plots against cities in Europe, Canada, Australia and the United States have been conceptualized and planned by local residents/citizens who sought to attack their country of residence. The majority of these individuals began as "unremarkable" - they had "unremarkable" jobs, had lived "unremarkable" lives and had little, if any criminal history. The recently thwarted plot by homegrown jihadists, in May 2007, against Fort Dix in New Jersey, only underscores the seriousness of this emerging threat. Understanding this trend and the radicalization process in the West that drives "unremarkable" people to become terrorists is vital for developing effective counterstrategies. This realization has special importance for the NYPD and the City of New York. As one of the country's iconic symbols and the target of numerous terrorist plots since the 1990's, New York City continues to be the one of the top targets of terrorists worldwide. Consequently, the NYPD places a priority on understanding what drives and defines the radicalization process." New York Times News Release on the NYPD report

Evangelical growth continues with numbers more than doubling from 1990 to 2010. The Pentecostal/charismatic churches claim large increases in numbers; the ministries of Brethren, Baptists and many others are effective in their holistic and empowering approach. Pray that the dynamism and ambition of the former groups might be wedded to the hands-on transforming ministry of the latter, so that growth might be in number and in quality. Many are open to the gospel when presented simply and in love.

The ones available at the pet stores have several disadvantages: They are usually too short, have too small diameters and an annoying platform which doesn't allow 'full speed' upward.
This design allows you to make a scratching post from floor to ceiling, in whatever length your cat prefer, and it's also very stable and doesn't require any holes or screws to fasten. It is also possible to re-wrap the Sisal rope in the future.
The relaxing platform and staircase described at the last step are optional.
Step 1: What you need.
* Sisal rope, diam. 8 mm, approx. 47 meter for each meter of the pipe length.
For example: A diam. 110 pipe with length 2.5 m will need 117.5 m.
Sisal rope can be quite expensive, so check out where you can buy it cheap.
An affordable supplier is http://www.ropesandtwines.com (delivers worldwide).
(See below in comments section for the formula used for exact calculation).
* Tee nuts, M8, 4 pcs.
* Hexagon head bolts, M8, length approx 50 mm. , 4 pcs.
* U-bolts, 2 pcs.
* Fake MDF wood tiles. (Or a similar hard surface material).
* Cork gasket sheet, thickness 3 mm.
* Wood screws.
* Ordinary hand tools.
* And the most important: One helpful and curious cat
Brilliant - I found this as we are making one with a pressure mounted metal extending pole, and was not sure of the best way to attach the sisal.
I think we will need to make another with the drain pipe too
really clear instructions, and with help from the cat too :-)
I love that you showed your cat "assisting."
Hi! My name is Rufus too, Im from Serbia, Europe:) This is a good bulid:) I want it!!!:)
Very inspirational. Having read it through it came to mind the large cardboard tubular insert used by Carpet retailers would give you height and claw friendly material, wadaya think
Hard to tell if it will work, without detailed knowledge of the material properties:
* Will it be sturdy enough to resist the pressure when pressed against floor and ceiling?
* Will it bend if pushed in the middle?
* Will it expand/shrink with temperature?
It might be a problem to tighten the U-bolts hard enough, without breaking the cardboard.
If you decide to test a cardboards tubulare insert, please post your experiences!
My two cats (rescued) started climbing in a few days after the post was installed and they love it.
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
P.S. since I had a lot of hallway real estate I went crazy with the shelves and ended up with a cat playground.
I understand that the cats love it.
Have got the rope (220m for £45!!!) other stuff's on it's way, including the rescue cat which get's here Saturday - we've named him Napolean (after the lead character from the film Napolean Dynamite).
Many thanks for a truly great instructable!!!
Anyway. Just wanted to say thanks for a great instructable!
Nice improvement to paint the wood pieces. And most important: That your cat likes it!
I see that you use the 4 T-nuts and bolts to act an a spanner, then you slip a plate (with a corked side facing the floor ) under the four bolts.
Would the bolted side of the spanner slip from the smooth side of the plate? (My cat is active and is BIG...I want to make sure that thing will be stable...)
I included a picture...maybe that'll help...a picture worth a thousand words ^_^
I also thought of the risk of the bolt heads slipping, so I had a backup solution if it was necessary. Depends of the materials and surfaces of the bolt and plate. The friction was enough in my case.
But, if there is a risk that the friction isn't enough, the solution/modification is quite easy:
Just drill some countersunken end-holes in the plate with a diameter just a little bit larger than the screw head. That will fixate the screws in position and prevent slipping. If a harder contact surface also is needed, make the end-holes a little deeper and put a washer in it.
Hope I explained it good enough.
Happy drilling!
I also thought about the countersunk holes and love the idea of the washer in there too. To help stability but I'm also considering cutting some more discs, 150mm in diameter with a 110mm hole in the center (using holesaws to cut my wood), cut these in halves/quarters and insert in the gap created by the spanner section. If it's a tight enough fit it should provide a bit of extra security and the gap created by cutting them in sections should allow for a flat device to be inserted between them to pop them out if needed. It could also help with the design as there will no longer be a gap at the bottom.
I have a feeling it may be easier to wrap the pole while it's vertical, rotating the pole should hopefully prevent a lot of the tangles because the rope is just naturally fed onto it and youve got gravity helping to keep the rope down if starting at the bottom.
I don't think it's needed, but I'll be adding a small ring of cork between where the pipe and the disc's make contact, just as a slight cushioning and to prevent any shaking if there's a gap.
I was looking into this before seeing your ibble and have seen a few places recommending at least 10mm rope, just an fyi for if you ever need to change the rope. I was a bit surprised to find out that 10mm would also work out £0.58 cheaper, but all other thicker rope gradually became more expensive.
For those trying to work out how much rope they'll need, here's the formula I used:
Height of pole * (Pole Diam + Rope Diam) * Pi / Rope Diam / 1000.
eg: 2500 * (110 + 8) * 3.142 / 8 / 1000 = 115.9m (313 coils around the pole!)
I then added an extra 10% or rope for compression, I'll post back once I know if this was enough (luckily I bought enough for a taller pole as I'm now freaking out about he compression).
PS Thank you again for a method that doesn;t damage floors or ceiling, my wife will be happy!
Here is some update: After 1.5 years and two cats later using the pole at least 30 times a day, i decided to tightening the sisal rope around the pole. The rope started to slack a little and showed gaps between some turns. The gaps where larger at the top of the pole, due to the cats weights during climbing pusching it downwards, as expected.
It was really easy to add some more rope, just to remove the U-bolts, compress all the turns with your hands and add some more rope. 3-4 more turns was enough.
Would suggest though that you add mostly of the extra rope inside the tube at the top, but also some at the bottom.
The funny part is that the cats LOVE this pole. They are chasing each other up to the top, tumbling around at the platform and then running down the smaller shelfs. And sometimes, just chilling, all above the rest of us mortal humans.
When you are finished it would be great with some feedback / photos / comments for improvments or different ideas.
And... don't forget protective gloves... the rope hurts like h*ll when working with it ;-)
The polished copper pipes is another project that I have done (but there is no instructable, yet) and it's part of my solar cell installation. The pipes are used for covering the electrical wiring inside and to give the installation some kind of 'semi-cyberpunk' feeling and runs all around the ceiling. Quite nice actually.
The electrical wires insides the pipes connects to two steel wires which acts as plus and minus for the 12V system. Between the wires there are super bright LEDs (with resistors) to light up the room.
It's good, nicely shown too.

Post Master's Advanced Certificate Programs
Nurse Practitioner
The Nurse Practitioner Post Master's Program is open to registered nurses with clinical master's degrees who wish to become nurse practitioners and to certified nurse practitioners with master's degrees who wish to become certified in an additional specialty area.
Graduates of this advanced certificate program are skilled in assessment, diagnosis and management of acute and chronic health problems, and are prepared to deliver primary care services in a variety of health settings to the patient population of their choosing: child, family, or family psychiatric mental health.
The program typically begins in the fall and takes four semesters. NPs seeking certification in an additional specialty area, who have taken a pathophysiology course that is acceptable for transfer, may be eligible to begin the program in the spring. Nurse practitioners seeking certification in a second specialty area, who have appropriate academic and clinical experience, may qualify to complete the program in three semesters.
Graduates of the Nurse Practitioner Post Master's Program may apply for New York State nurse practitioner credentialing through the College of Nursing. Graduates also are eligible to take the national American Nurses Credentialing Center nurse practitioner certificate exam.

The CNS works with patients, nurses or the health care system and may focus his or her specialty on: a certain population (e.g., adults); type of problem (e.g., wound care); setting (e.g., Emergency Department); type of care (e.g., rehab); or disease (e.g., diabetes).
The CNS has advanced expertise in these areas:
- Factors that affect quality of care
- Cost containment
- Improved patient outcomes
The program begins in the fall and typically takes four semesters.
Nursing Education
This two- to three-semester post master's program prepares nurses with master's degrees in nursing or related fields to be educators— for patients, other nurses, nursing students and the general public. Students who complete the minor receive a certificate upon completion.
This nine-credit minor includes three courses: Nurse as Educator (required of all bachelor's and master's students), Curriculum and Program Development, and Educational Evaluation. In Educational Evaluation, students work with a preceptor to gain experience in the role of educator.
All courses for the Education Minor may be completed in two semesters. A minimum of 6 credits must be taken at SUNY Upstate.
Previous College of Nursing graduates can complete this post master's certificate in one semester.
Students may begin the program in fall or spring with NURS 565 followed by NURS 665 and NURS 655 in any sequence.
