400 dollars an hour for "recreation consultants." Really? People to teach your child how to play after systematically regimenting their childhood to favor elite kindergarten admissions? This is just about the saddest thing I've heard. What are we coming to?
This is sort of hitting me because of all the college application stuff actually. I've been thinking a good deal on our expectations of such young people. This pressure to be picture perfect. Why do we expect our kids to be more than we were at their age? I was a star in school and got into every college I applied to... and I was nothing compared to what they are expecting of kids today.

This is hysterical. And these people are serious. Over the past few years, I have written application packages or appeals packages for a number of children whose families were interested in seeing them enrolled in our school system's GT program. Every child I have prepared materials for has been admitted. Recently, a friend suggested that I start a consulting business to help people get their kids into GT. She said there could be huge money in it. I responded that the kids I helped get into the program very obviously belonged there (without any coaching by their parents or courses/tutors to prep them for the tests). It was easy to convince the committee to admit them because they are all highly gifted (although most were twice exceptional so didn't all top the tests). The people who would have wanted to be my clients if I'd started a business are surely the same ones who would send their kids to $400 per hour preschool play skills workshops. Needless to say, I will not be consulting to help parents get their kids into the GT program.

"All this child's play is deadly serious for parents, because the toddlers will be judged on these skills when they apply to top-end schools, such as Trinity and Horace Mann."
Some people have lots of money...but no brains.
p.s. I haven't tried to login to ivillage since our whole group defected to the Dark Side because the login process was so tedious and sometimes didn't work at all..and still had to make multiple tries today to log into ivillage. Some things never change. ;)

It would be funny if it was just a case of neurotic parents spending money on ridiculous stuff in an attempt to climb the socioeconomic ladder. But we're talking about children here. It's tragic that it has come to this. Honestly my most prominent thought is gratitude that I don't live surrounded by an educational system that feeds anxiety and warps parenting values as the system in NYC seems to.
|Sun, 07-21-2013 - 6:56pm
Normally I don't pay much attention to anything that shows up in the New York Post. This is different because they are picking up on and commenting on something very real, even if they are magnifying it to create sensationalism. As you say, the expectations placed on these children are crushing and ridiculous: there's an expectation of perfection right from the start. Even play must be micromanaged as if these babies are wee executives.
I agree that it's ridiculous to expect our kids to be more than we were at the same age. But I am even more worried that a society that doesn't allow for missteps and uneven growth loses the creativity and unusual ability that some later developers have to offer. Worse yet, we encourage a lockstep, fear-of-failure, take no risks personality that can get in the way of innovation as well as compassion.
And that's not all. I see this as a manifestation of the anti-intellectual perspective of the U.S. It's good to be smart but not over the top smart and never at the expense of social fluency. These parents are really already afraid of their kids seeming less socially skilled? Give me a break.

My initial thought was YIKES! Then I wondered how different this was from the social group we seek to help for ASD. The motivation is different, yes. But one of my biggest stressors with an ASD child is that the world is changing and relationships are becoming more and more critical. In my father's time period, loyalty was valued. He worked at a company his whole life, retired, and received a pension. Seniority ruled - so the more loyals were at companies longer, resulting in more advancement. In my generation, one could advance without seniority if one was very good at their job. Sure social skills comes in to a degree, but education was very valued. Now, however, the career path is changing rapidly (maybe it always was, but now I'm in higher level management) and advancement is very much based on networking skills. Networking skills became very prominent in the latest economic downturn. So seeing the trend and the requirement for good social skills, I am very concerned for my very non-social child.
I think the article is a bit extreme, as I'm sure was the point. But I understand the parents' concerns on developing good social skills. I do worry about the lack of honest exploration, creativity and prioritization of down time.
I'm also grappling with utter disappointment in the current school structures in the US. Our school system is pretty bad. I believed in the hype of a highly regarded private school locally. Drank the Kool-Aid and got DS in. Once in, it's the same disappointment just with a different socioeconomic group. And in private school, I learned the administration sees parents as checkbooks.
But it was a process to learn this.

Ladybug, I have found that as online socializing becomes more prominent and face-to-face socializing less so, I am less concerned about my son's ability to read social cues. In person, he is somewhat clueless, but online, playing League of Legends or some other online game, he's practically a king. He has friends (some of whom he knows IRL) who respect his skills and intuition, and who don't make fun of him for not being able to cite sports statistics or throw a ball with any degree of accuracy.
While I don't want to make light of the real challenges faced by kids with Asperger's, my sense is the world that they inherit will be a lot friendlier to them than the one I grew up in. It's what keeps me sane when I read depressing crap like the Post article!
|Tue, 07-30-2013 - 12:37am
That's an interesting observation. I've noticed the same thing with my ds. He has always tended to be shy and resistent to new social situations, lacking the confidence and lacking in the social "approach skills" that lubricate interactions in the face-to-face world. But he too has always been incredibly adept with social interactions in the on-line world. He is taken seriously because he presents himself well, because he is even-minded, honest and respectful, and because he lubricates and mediates others' interactions when appropriate. He has developed a lot of confidence in on-line situations and a really positive self-concept.
And on-line interactions have proven to be a very good tool for him to initiate and deepen real-world friendships. Girls, for example ... he's shy and withdrawn around the girls he likes in real life, until he's broken the ice via FB messaging or chat, and pretty soon that's become late-night Skype sessions, and the next thing I know I catch them making out in the living room. So yeah, far from isoluting them from the real world, what I've observed is that the on-line world provides a handy social on-ramp for introverts.
|Tue, 07-30-2013 - 8:10pm
This totally reminds of a documentary I watched called "Nursery University" about the extreme amounts of money and time parents were paying to get their kids into a "good" private preschool. I have no doubt that "recreation consultants" are now part of this ridiculous process. Sigh.
However, for kids on spectrum, I could definitely see the benefit. My youngest DS participated in an after-school "social skills" group a couple years ago which was a great help to him.

Your responses in bold are nothing but repeated flailing attempts to defend the guy without paying attention to the actual case. What about the inconsistencies in Zimmerman's story? What about his statements on the phone calls? What about his statement about there being bushes when there were no bushes there?
For someone with "no dog in this race", you're sure taking a pretty one-sided stance on this, from claiming it shouldn't go to trial in the first place to believing everything Zimmerman said, ignoring the inconsistencies in his story and everyone else's testimony.
You're so impartial.

A new study that has identified how key circuits in the brain control movement could treat movement related disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Scientists Anatol Kreitzer, PhD and Karl Deisseroth, MD PhD at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) and Stanford University used genetic methods to allow mice to produce a light-sensitive protein in very select group of cells in the brain.
Researchers found that the mouse with the fibre optics implanted in the brain moved normally with the laser turned off and froze when the laser was turned on. With the laser off, and the mouse's movement was restored. "It's not something we can do for just a second," Kreitzer said. "We can do this for as long as the laser is on." "We generated mice that lacked dopamine, and these mice showed many of the same symptoms found in humans with Parkinson's disease. But when we activated the 'go' pathway in these mice, they began to move around normally again. We restored all of their motor deficits with this treatment, even though the mice still lacked dopamine," he added.
The research could be important for treating Parkinson's and also other disorders involving these circuits, such as Huntington's disease, Tourette's syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and addiction.
The research is published in the journal Nature.

S&P Lowers Outlook For Koppers Holdings
NEW YORK (AP) ¿ Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said Tuesday it cut its outlook on Koppers Holdings Inc. to "Stable" from "Positive" on weak second-quarter earnings.
Earlier this month the Pittsburgh-based maker of carbon compounds and commercial wood treatment products reported a 52 percent decline in quarterly earnings.
"The outlook revision reflects Koppers' weaker-than-expected operating performance in recent quarters and our expectation of continued challenging business conditions resulting from the global recession," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Henry Fukuchi.
"We expect the current economic conditions to continue to dampen operating results, particularly within the carbon materials and chemicals segment in North America and Europe."He also said he expects the company's cash flow generation to weaken. In aftermarket trading, shares fell 1 cent to $26.59.

It would have been impossible to predict back in the year 2000, but Andy Richter and Conan O'Brien are reuniting for good.Richter, O'Brien's Late Night sidekick from the show's 1993 premiere until 2000, will become the announcer of The Tonight Show when O'Brien takes over for Jay Leno on June 1. Although Richter won't sit beside O'Brien, Ed McMahon-style, he will take part in sketches and other bits with the host.That could mean a revival of still-funny-but-just-not-the-same routines from the Age of Andy, including their predictions about "The Year 2000" — and plenty of fierce staring contests between the two. "Andy is one of the funniest people I know and we've maintained a close friendship since he left Late Night," O'Brien said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to working with Andy on a daily basis again, particularly since he owes me $300."Richter and O'Brien displayed some of their old chemistry Friday on O'Brien's final Late Night, when Richter turned up as a surprise guest — the last non-musical guest in the show's 16-year run. (In another surprise, The White Stripes stopped in to perform.) O'Brien's Late Night announcer, Joel Godard, won't have a role with the new show — but friends of O'Brien's tend to turn up in his studio often.Could there be any better news for O'Brien fans? (Besides the return of PimpBot 5000?)

Tottenham spurred on by historic win over Man Utd
Published on Oct 3, 2012 5:26 PM
PARIS (AFP) - Tottenham will head into their second Europa League group match away to Panathinaikos brimming with confidence after notching up a first Premier League victory over Manchester United in 27 attempts on the weekend.
After a slow start to Andre Villas-Boas' reign at White Hart Lane, three straight league wins including the 3-2 thriller at Old Trafford have taken Spurs into fifth place and seem to have turned the tide for their Portuguese manager.
A first win over Sir Alex Ferguson's team since May 2001 left Villas-Boas declaring: "We don't stop here" as Spurs aim for a first European trophy since 1984 when they beat Anderlecht to claim the then-Uefa Cup.
"We feel confident now and our form has been impressive," said the former Chelsea coach who won the Europa League with Porto in 2011.

Young children are indeed a great bunch. They are naturally endearing with their innocent sensibilities and carefree attitude. But they can also be disruptive and act inappropriately in certain occasions, which is very typical of children.
And sometimes it is difficult to tell whether a child's misbehavior is normal or is already a sign of something more serious like ADHD. That is why it is important that you take time to identify and spot the apparent ADHD symptoms in children to help you distinguish if it is out of the ordinary.
Normal Behavior Versus ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is one of the most common behavior disorders in children, which can continue on into adolescence and adulthood. Children with this condition most often have difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty in controlling their behavior and symptoms of hyperactivity.
More often, these are regarded and mistaken for other problems, like a learning ability, disciplinary problem or poor emotional quotient. To a point that children with ADHD or ADD are labeled as lazy, slow or a troublemaker.
While these behaviors may also be exhibited in normal children behavior, in ADHD, it occurs over a longer period of time within different social settings. Also, it affects the child's ability to get along with other kids, finish a task at home or at school or succeed in school.
The Three Types of ADHD
We are familiar with this behavioral disorder with a general picture of child that is packed with hyperactive energy. However, that is just one subtype of ADHD. There are actually three subtypes: Predominantly Inattentive, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive and Combined. They are differentiated according to the behavioral symptoms that they exhibit.
Predominantly Inattentive
Predominantly Inattentive is also called Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD. It is characterized with symptoms of inattentiveness and is the opposite of what we normally think of ADHD. Children of this subtype generally show inability to pay attention to details, easily get bored and have trouble focusing and sustaining attention in tasks. They are often seen as lazy or aloof and constantly daydream.
In performing tasks at home and in school, they have difficulty in following instructions, make careless mistakes, process information and finish task slowly and are forgetful in doing daily activities. They also tend to have difficulty learning new things and, most often, lose simple things, like pencils and erasers.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive
This is the most common ADHD subtype and is the one that we are most familiar about. They are characterized with symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsiveness. They can sometimes cause disruptions in school or at home because of their overly active nature.
They always seem to be restless, constantly fidget and squirm when in their seats. They are always on the go, run excessively and have trouble in remaining seated. They also have the impulse to touch things, acts without thinking, say inappropriate comments and talk excessively. Children of this subtype usually have a short temper and exhibit temper tantrums.
The Combined type is diagnosed when more than six symptoms of the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive type is demonstrated.
We commonly identify ADHD with these negative symptoms. But, it is also important to highlight the positive and distinguishable traits of ADD. They are often creative, sensitive, intuitive, flexible and enthusiastic.
When these unusual behaviors are evident for more than 6 months in your child and has affected at least two aspects his life, you should immediately seek out the advice of a qualified professional. A careful assessment will be done to determine the right treatment for your child to manage the condition. However, a combination of medication and behavioral therapy is employed and usually yield the most desirable outcome.

Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce
By Susan Westmoreland
Special Offers
QuestionMy brand of soy sauce says "naturally brewed" on the label. What does that mean?
AnswerThe soy sauce sold in stores is made one of two ways: It is brewed or chemically processed. Brewed (or "naturally brewed") soy sauce is made from a special fermentation process. Typically, roasted soybeans and wheat grain are combined in a multistep procedure with water, salt and natural mold and bacteria "starters" (which work in much the same way in the making of yogurt and sourdough bread). The "mash" that forms is then aged up to two years, yielding a soy sauce that is richly colored and flavored, with slightly sweet notes. Nonbrewed soy sauce is produced in a matter of days from hydrolized plant (soy) protein, caramel color, salt and water. The resulting liquid is salty, with none of the nuances and pleasant, earthy aromas of brewed soy sauce. We prefer the first type in our recipes, because it imparts such a wonderful depth of flavor.

10 Bad Investment Ideas You Need to Rethink
3. Use Home equity to pay down debt.
Similarly, those who tout using a home equity line to pay off other debt may have a seemingly sound rationale: that the rates on these loans are almost certain to be more favorable than credit card terms, for example, and there are tax deductions to claim.
So why is it potentially bad advice? To start with, the largest debt you are likely to have is your mortgage, and any move that makes it more likely that you will carry that burden into retirement is ill advised. There is also a limit on the equity you can leverage with your house -- a figure dropping along with home values. It may be wiser to keep that line of credit available for emergencies, home repairs or unexpected needs.
Worst of all, not shredding those credit cards means that you only shifted debt, not eliminated it.
"They will just rack up more and they will have double debt," Lyazidi says. "The other consideration with a home equity line of credit is a variable rate. Yes, rates are low now, but a few years ago rates were high. You should always go with the fixed rate that is not going to change."4. Index (or actively managed) funds are the only way to go.
Both index funds and the actively managed variety have their champions and critics. It is a feud in investment circles that will persist as long as there are fund managers. When building a portfolio and retirement savings, keep in mind your own cash needs and projections. Work with a professional to truly understand your risk tolerance. Then, with those factors well understood, choose the approach -- possibly a combination -- that best suits your goals, not the cheerleaders backing their chosen "team." 5. You are doomed, doomed I tell ya.
On a constant basis, we get press release pitches and studies focused on the same general theme: No one has enough saved for retirement and crisis looms for individuals and society. True enough that many, many people are well behind the eight ball when it comes to securing their future finances. But pessimism can lead to paralysis, and the drumbeat of disaster can lead people to just give up. In fact, it is almost never too late to start saving for retirement, and you are never too old to take the steps needed to maximize the time horizon you have. Curtis DeYoung, founder and president of American Pension Services in Riverton, Utah, says large brokerages have a lot to gain by encouraging investors to save more, but the "run for the hills" talk can backfire. "You've got about $5 billion a week going into these retirement plans," he says. "That's a whole lot of money. That's why nearly every financial institution commercial only touts the value of their retirement plan product. All of the brokerage houses are all trying to get your retirement savings." The result, building upon recession-era fears, is that people can stop being actively involved with their plan. "I do seminars all over the United States where clients say, 'I don't know how much is in my old retirement plan' or 'I don't even open my statements, they just go down.' They are so disconnected from their own money. 'If it is going to keep losing money, I will stop contributing to it and therefore I don't need to open the statement, because what's there is what's there.'"

Beware of the Robobee, Monsanto and DARPA
Let's consider for a moment the Honey Bee and its anticipated replacement, the RoboBee. Let's pay a visit to the frankenbee's parents, Monsanto and DARPA.
The RoboBee is a mechanical bee in the design stage at the Micro-Robotics Lab, housed in a well-appointed building at Harvard University. The RoboBee project's Intelligence Office declares that the robotic inventors are inspired by the bee. The RoboBee project's website and press releases use the imagery of the golden bees that we remember from our love of the cuddly, buzzy honey-maker.
But something is wrong with this enterprise. While the RoboBee's press is nearly all positive, and open-faced students have posted euphoric YouTube reports of their robotic work, the whole thing looks quite different to the people of the beekeeping community, who can't help but point out that the real-life honey bees and bumble bees are plummeting toward extinction.
After one of our singing rituals at the laboratory, a public relations man named Paul followed us out proclaiming, "But we have nothing to do with colony collapse, and we're sorry that the Honey Bee is dying..." And yet the RoboBee project's top goal, as stated on their website, is to achieve mechanical pollination. So Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, et al - the Big Ag companies whose agricultural chemicals are driving the honey bee's die-off, must be very interested in this honey bee drone. How couldn't they be waiting in the wings? A robot bee would be invaluable as a pesticide-proof pollinator.
These corporate giants apparently expect the RoboBee to come online just in time for the real insect's extinction, since there is no evidence that they are reducing sales of the main suspect in the case of the vanishing bees, the neonicotinoid pesticides. (...which must be a very profitable item, one third of the pesticides used worldwide this year will contain neonicotinoids.) Every scenario for the death spiral of the bees involves these neuropathic chemicals. The beekeepers report that pollen-laden Honey Bees cannot find their way to the home hive, their navigation systems short-circuited by neonicotinoids carried in their bodies.
Let's go to the stage-mother of the fake bee: the drone-maker, DARPA. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is the well-known drone designer that projects American power as a deadly buzzing sound in the sky above the villages of the mid-east. While American air-power always used the aerodynamics of falcons, ospreys and eagles - DARPA is teaching Pentagon futurists to dream of the quick turns and sneaky camouflage of bats, insects and hummingbirds.
The RoboBee's public relations flacks argue that the military has nothing to do with the RoboBee. However, we have tapes of the lead scientist at the RoboBee's lab, Dr. Rob Wood, publicly thanking DARPA for early financing of the project. He is a "DARPA Young Fellow," a million-dollar award given to researchers whose work reflects the "values of the Department of Defense." The RoboBee proponents have made a tactical to use Harvard University and the National Science Foundation for a veneer of non-drone prestige.
But there are smoking drones everywhere. Military awards have been pinned to Rob Wood's chest by the Navy and Air Force. This wunderkind of nano-technology has even received a citation from President Barack Obama, drone warfare's most famous fan. The RoboBee is a DARPA project and needs to be a part of Harvard's burgeoning divestment movement.
The flight of the RoboBee gives us a revealing map of how this marriage of executives and generals envision our future. It shows us the interlocking techniques of the military and industrial GMO agriculture. Monsanto's factory farms have evolved toward the Pentagon's approach to terrorism. The chief chemist of Agent Orange wants to cover the world's surface with mono-culture cash crops, where a single strain of, say, corn, is all you see to the horizon. Pesticides and herbicides select and eliminate living things that are not contributing to profitability.

If the launch of Rebel Salute 2012 is anything to go by then the 19th staging of one of the most conscious reggae shows on the musical calendar will be a stellar event.
Held at the Wyndham Kingston, the prelude was like a meeting concert in itself as several artistes turned out to show their support for Tony Rebel and his Flames Production Company.
The show is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 14th at the Port Kaiser Sports Complex, St. Elizabeth.
As this is the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's Independence the promoters plan to pull out all the stops to make this staging a memorable one.
Artistes who are scheduled to perform some of whom will be gracing the stage for the first time or the first in a long while are Mikey Spice, Johnny Osbourne, Max Romeo, Yami Bolo, Eric Donaldson and C-Sharp Band.
Other big acts expected include Tarrus Riley, Johnny Clarke, Queen Ifrica, Capleton, Stephen Marley, Luciano, Maxi Priest and Edi Fitzroy to name a few.
If you are ever in Jamaica, this event is a must.

Man of the mountain.
A carpenter by trade, the man with crystal-clear blue eyes from Langnau in Emmental had a conventional life mapped out in front of him. But he was destined des·tine
tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines
1. To determine beforehand; preordain: a foolish scheme destined to fail; a film destined to become a classic.
2. for greater things. Deep within him burnt a passion for adventure and, one day, it would make him one of the very best alpinists in the world--and one of the fastest.
Think Alpine Spiderman and you get an idea of the agility and staggering velocity with which Ueli Steck takes on some of the highest and most challenging peaks in the world. It is fitting that his 'house mountain' should be the notorious 3,970-metre Eiger, whose merciless north face has claimed at least sixty lives since 1935 and has been nicknamed Eigermordwand (Eiger murderous wall). Together with a friend, Steck completed his first ascent In climbing, a first ascent (FA) is the first modern recorded climb to reach the top of a mountain, or the first to follow a particular climbing route. First ascents are notable because they are the climbs that entail genuine exploration; the risks are higher and the challenge of the face at the age of eighteen. The feat, which had been preceded by months of tireless preparation, was a momentous achievement for the young alpinist: "There is so much history to this place and it was such a big dream for us ... I remember just how proud we were, when we reached the top. We thought: 'now we are real climbers!'"
Going it alone
Steck's passion started when a family friend took him out climbing for a day at the age of twelve. Inspired by the experience, the boy quickly abandoned his childhood past time of ice hockey ice hockey: see hockey, ice.
ice hockey
Game played on an ice rink by two teams of six players on skates. The object is to drive a puck (a small, hard rubber disk) into the opponents' goal with a hockey stick, thus scoring one point. , the sport his brothers were hooked on. "I preferred climbing, because it is so simple. There are clear rules and strict boundaries. You don't rely on anyone else. If you don't reach the top, it's your own fault." This fed the competitive streak in Steck, who was always eager to seek out new challenges and to push himself to the limit.
Yet, as ambitious as he was, the young climber climb·er
1. One that climbs, especially a person who climbs mountains.
2. Sports A device, such as a crampon, used in mountain climbing.
3. A plant that climbs.
4. was also a realist--and he was realistic enough to know that the passion he had chosen was unlikely to ever put bread on his table. After all, in the history of alpinism, only few had ever succeeded in living the dream on a full-time basis. And so he pursued a career in carpentry and lived from hand to mouth for many years, just so that he could finance his next vertical adventure.
However, dreams die hard--and after a decade-long battle of heart over head, frivolity Frivolity
the gaffe-prone, frivolous wife of Dagwood Bumstead. [Comics: Horn, 118]
Dobson, Zuleika
charming young lady who unconcernedly dazzles Oxford undergraduates. [Br. Lit. eventually took the better of him. In 2003, a 31-year-old Steck put aside his reservations and became a professional alpinist.
The man ibex
Three years later, Steck was a 'world champion'. He had discovered speed climbing and, reaching the top of the Eiger north face in a mere 3 hours 54 minutes, had clocked a new record. But the man, who competes only against himself, knew that he could do even better. "It was too easy. I knew, I hadn't reached my limit and wanted to try and see what I could really do," Steck justifies his decision to challenge the great Eiger once again in 2008. He was keen to find out how much faster he could be, if he shed some weight and climbed entirely without aid. Four kilos lighter in bodyweight and with five less kilos of baggage to slow him down, Steck free-climbed the Nordwand at a new record of 2 hours 47 minutes that very February. This silenced even his last critics, who had questioned whether the alpinist had used existing fixed ropes during his first speed ascent--a routine practice. The following May, the sportsman was presented with the inaugural Eiger Award for his outstanding achievements.
A video of the historic climb shows a speedy Steck traverse the diminishing ice-fields with the light-footedness of an ibex. Fast and confident, he pushes on, as if it were a walk in the park. As the camera zooms out, the climber is merely a dot on a perpendicular wall of rock and ice--David against Goliath. But undeterred undeterred
not put off or dissuaded
Adj. 1. undeterred - not deterred; "pursued his own path...undeterred by lack of popular appreciation and understanding"- Osbert Sitwell
undiscouraged , the underdog blitzes hundreds of metres in altitude; his mind, master of his body; his face, the image of pure concentration. It is as if someone has pressed fast-forward--and, before you know it, it is all over and David has come out on top.
Taught by nature
"Climbing is a school for life--you have to make decisions and take responsibility for them. The result is immediate." Steck describes another facet of his passion, before turning to its darker side. "Climbing can put you in real danger and if you constantly live life on the edge, you are going to die one day. It is important to know exactly what the risks are and how to manage them. You have to take climbing seriously." This is why the native Emmentaler plans each venture meticulously and is as prepared as he possibly can be every time. He loves control and structure--"like a typical Swiss German Swiss German adj → suisse-allemand(e)
Swiss German Swiss adj → deutsch-schweizerisch
Swiss German adj → ," he laughs. Even his bodyweight is never an accident. Steck follows a strict nutrition regime, depending on whether he needs to lose or gain weight for any given venture.
However, even the best preparation can never protect you completely. The Annapurna, a Himalayan mountain fraught with danger, could have easily taken Steck's life in May 2007, when he was hit on the head by a falling rock. After a period of unconsciousness, the climber awoke 200 metres below where he had fallen, fully aware that if he didn't make it back down to base camp quickly, he would die. "The most important thing is to have a strategy to get out of the situation you are in. I had to think clearly and get down the mountain as quickly as possible," recalls Steck. With great difficulty, the experienced mountaineer dragged himself back to base camp--with a concussion concussion
Period of nervous-function impairment that results from relatively mild brain injury, often with no bleeding in the cerebral cortex. It causes brief unconsciousness, followed by mental confusion and physical difficulties. and covered in bruises.
A year later, as he was preparing for his second attempt, fellow alpinist Inaki Ochoa de Olza was not so lucky. Steck and his colleague Simon Anthamatten rushed to the Spaniard's rescue at 7,400 altitude metres, but were unable to save him. These are sobering experiences.
Living life to the full
"But you have to move on," says Steck "One of the greatest challenges in life is to make the most of the little time you have. To do so, you need to keep on moving forward and to cherish every moment--those who live in the past, are dead. And you never know what tomorrow will bring!" The sportsman is well aware that one day, he will no longer be able to push his body as hard he does now, but then "I won't have any regrets. I will have lived my life to the full. And when it comes to it, I am sure I will find a new challenge."
For now, he is still a man on an Alpine mission. But already, his list of achievements is long, including everything from a free climb of the 'Golden Gate Route' at El Capitan El Cap·i·tan
A peak, 2,308.5 m (7,569 ft) high, in the Sierra Nevada of central California. Its dramatic exposed monolith rises some 1,098 m (3,600 ft) above the floor of the Yosemite Valley. to bold speed climbs and solos in the Alps and Canadian Rockies The Canadian Rockies comprise the Canadian segment of the North American Rocky Mountains range. The southern end in Alberta and British Columbia borders Idaho and Montana of the USA. The northern end is at the Liard Plain in British Columbia. . On his current wish list are the world's fourteen 8,000-metre peaks. Since 2009, he has already bagged the Gasherbum II in Pakistan, the Makalu in Nepal and the Shisha Shisha (shī`shə), David's scribe: see Shavsha. Pangma in Tibet. It is a sign of more exciting things to come for the alpinist.
"What is it like to be living the dream?" I ask. "I don't have to wait for the weekend or for the evening to do what I love. Every time I climb, it's like a holiday," he says. And I believe every word of it.

Al Jazeera Declines to Televise Video Submitted by French Killer
The man who killed seven people in France last week–and was killed himself during a shootout in Toulouse, France–mailed a video of the killings to Al Jazeera before his death. French President Nicholas Sarkozy reportedly pleaded with the network not to air the videos, though the channel had already made up its mind regarding its decision.
In a statement, Al Jazeera said that it would not televise the video or any excerpt from it, and would not make it available to anyone that requested a copy.
"The Paris bureau received a video from an anonymous source [on Monday] entitled "Al-Qaeda attaque la France" (Al-Qaeda attacks France) that appears to show the recent killings in Toulouse and Montauban. Given its contents, we immediately passed the video on to the French police as we were duty bound to do and they are conducting their investigation. In accordance with al-Jazeera's code of ethics, given the video does not add any information that is not already in the public domain, its news channels will not be broadcasting any of its contents."

The days of drafting with the pencil are over. Now that we use AutoCAD, all of our drafting is done using our mouse. And you know what, it's much easier. In this lesson, we're going to learn how our mouse button functions inside of AutoCAD. As you can see, I have a drawing open on my screen. This is a mechanical example, and this is a drawing of a motorcycle gasket. Let's start our mouse discussion by talking about the left mouse button or a left click. In AutoCAD, a left click allows us to make a selection. For example, if I left click on this circle, I just selected that circle.
If I left click on this entity, that entity is also selected. This is considered a single pick type of selection. I'm going to press my Esc key to deselect these entities, and now let's take a look at a window selection. We would use a window to select multiple objects. If I left click out in space and I move my cursor to the right, I begin creating this blue rectangle. This is called a window selection. When I click again to finish the window, AutoCAD will select any object that fell completely within the window.
As you can see, it selected these three circles. Once again, I'll press my Esc key to deselect these. This time I'll place my cursor over here, I'll left click, and if I move my cursor to the left, I begin creating this green rectangle. Now, there's no real rocket science to this. If you left click on screen and pull to the right, you get the blue rectangle, you pull to the left, you get the green one. This green rectangle is called a Crossing Window. When I click again to finish this window, AutoCAD will select everything that falls completely within the window or crosses over the edge.
Note all of the objects that were selected. Let's deselect these. So the left mouse button is used to make selections. Now, let's talk about the right mouse button or a right click. In AutoCAD, if you right click you'll bring up a context sensitive menu. I say context sensitive because the menu will change depending on when and where you right click. For instance, if I right click in the middle of the screen, AutoCAD brings up a menu that has some general purposes tools. If I right click over a tool in the Ribbon, I can see a menu with some tools that are related to my Ribbon.
If I right click over a Layout tab, I have tools here that are specific to Layout tabs. I'm going to hit Esc to close this menu, and let's mix it up a little bit. I'm going to left click to select this circle, and then I'll right click to bring up a menu. Notice this menu contains some Modification Tools. So when we're working in AutoCAD, a right click will bring up a menu. I'm going to click my Esc button a couple of times to clear these items off my screen. Soon the left and right click functionality of your mouse will become second nature, and you'll wonder how it was possible to draft in the old days using a traditional pencil.

I have been thinking (dangerous on a Monday morning) and I am wondering if there is anyway you can remote onto a user's pc without actually taking over the session?
I would like to be able to make basic changes such as set power options, change screen saver settings and the like without interfering with their session.
Would it be a case of updating a registery entry, or gaining access via the folders or such? (ie \\pcname\c$\whateverchangemade or am I thinking the impossible?
If it was to happen, no doubt I would have to reboot the machine for the change to take place? This is what I am hoping to avoid.

Many psychological disorders first diagnosed in children involve physiological and/or genetic components. However, there are many other psychological disorders found in children without any physical causes. Disorders caused by physiological or biological problems are more likely to be identified early in life, but some of these problems are not identified until adulthood. This site provides information on some of the most common psychological disorders of childhood.

HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
I have bought an HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c309g (the one I have is the second as the first had the same problem and I sent it back for a replacement, but now I'm wondering if I could possibly have two faulty models in a row?)
Anyway, my router is an Orange Livebox (Inventel), running firmware v5.10.7-uk. I know the SSID and the key, but the problem I have is that when running the Wireless Setup Wizard, it just sits there on 'Now searching for wireless routers...' (the progress bar is moving, so I assume it's actually trying). Therefore, my initial thought before was that it couldn't be a problem with my router, as the printer wasn't picking up any of the six other WLANs my laptop picks up in my front room. However, I've checked and all the WLANs I see on my laptop are 802.11g networks, which led me to my next thought...
... is the printer using an 802.11n wireless adapter? The livebox I have is only 802.11b/g (I think, unsurprisingly Orange documentation is awful and I can't find the information out in the admin pages - picked this up from the web, however it could just be 'b'). However, shouldn't the 'n' adapter still be able to pick up 'g' networks (part of the standard?)
Any help would be appreciated, I can't believe that I have two faulty devices in a row!
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Its your rented router. They are a pain.
Often DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Finally, plug in the phone line, reboot the router and test.

Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Hi Printdoc,
Yeah, tried that. However, I'm unable to "Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router" as it doesn't even find the SSID, that's the problem.
I've just got off the phone with Orange, and they've confirmed that don't offer an 'n' router, so I'm going to get an ADSL router from work and test it (luckily I'm in IT, so have stuff like that to hand!).
Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Perhaps an even better option would be to go get an inexpensive g or g/n router to put 'on top' of the Orange box. Shut off the wireless signal from the Orange box, using it essentially as a modem and run your entire home network through your own router.
I have seen Linksys n routers for under $50US. Its a good way to go to have something reliable, secure (WEP is not in the least secure) and controllable to your liking.

Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Also, have you run a Wireless Network Test on the printer to make sure it does not have a problem? Go to Setup>Network>Run Wireless Network Test to run this test. The printer will print a page with the results on it.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Yep, tried that and as before it just says 'Radio not functioning, please contact HP Support' (I can't believe I've been sent two duff printers). Given I have plenty of knowledge of how rubbish they are, I thought I'd try the community first, as you're all generally much more knowledgable, polite, helpful and generally better.
I will try it out with an 'n' router on 2.4GHz and post the results.
Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Oh! Reset your printer by turning it off, unplugging power from the back for 30 seconds, plug back in and turn on. Next, go to Setup > Network > Reset Network Defaults. Finally, in the same Network area, make sure the wireless radio is on (maybe turn it off and back on again).
Now, run the WIreless Network Test again. If it still says failed, then it is probably a bad unit.

Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
Or it's an 'n' radio and I have a b/g WAP...
I've done all the different resets that HP support asked me to do last time this happened (semi-partial-full etc) and none of that worked. I'm using the wired connection at the moment, which is fine until I get an 'n' router.
Cheers for everyone's contribution, but no 'solution' this time.
Re: HP c309g not finding any wireless networks
I was wrong - I've got it working at last!! Nothing to do with my router at all!!
Basically, I connected the printer up on a wired connection and browsed to the web interface. There I found some extra configuration settings that weren't available via the USB connection or on the device's LCD interface. Specifically, in the 'Wireless (802.11) Interface' setting page (http://printerIP/index.htm?cat=network&page=wirelessAdv), on the 'Advanced' tab, there is a tick-box that allows the radio to operate in 'b' mode ( In an infrastructure network use 802.11b behavior.) I enabled the wireless radio, ticked this box, clicked 'Apply' then disconnected the ethernet cable and hey-presto, a working wireless printer!! I can now run through all the configuration settings that are documented, and it's connected.
If anyone who works for HP is reading this, perhaps an update of the documentation (both paper and online) to discuss this 'advanced' feature of allowing 'b' compatibility with an 'n' radio would be very useful for the millions of us who haven't bought an 'n' router yet
Thanks again for the contributions.

West Australian Ballet to present 'Giselle'
West Australian Ballet presents the beautifully haunting tale of Giselle, one of the greatest ballet classics, on May 9-24 at His Majesty's Theatre in Perth.
The production features a lavish set by Peter Cazalet, original choreography from Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot, and Adolphe Adam's rich musical score, which will be performed live by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.
The company has been performing Giselle since 1959 when it was under WAB founder Madame Kira Bousloff.
