Rem Koolhaas' Biennale: Or how the Tempest Swept Venice
Wednesday, October 15, 2014
Peter Lang.
[Editor's Note: The Venice Architecture Biennale is still on through November 23 and it's still proving to be controversial. Professor Peter Lang shares his thoughts on Rem Koolhaas' event here.]
A Tale about the Magician Koolhaas who plays Prospero, lives on an island in the Venetian Laguna, and brings a Tempest to the Venice Biennale.
O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.
—William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V, Scene I, ll. 203–206[5]
(Aldous Huxley quoted this line from the Tempest for the title of his dystopian novel Brave New World published in 1931)
In choosing to take a different perspective on the 14th edition of the Architecture Biennale in Venice directed by Rem Koolhaas, I decided to skip the standard blow-by-blow critique, and instead confront what I believe is the greatest enigma behind this controversial event. Up till now, the majority of critics taking a look at this year's exhibition find fault with Koolhaas' method, not so much with his madness. But the key to the exhibition is not in its studied aloofness, but in its insubordination—Koolhaas is determined to shake up the Biennale institution by any means possible.
Protest in Venice: Megaphones in hand, The Architect's Lobby explores "Getting By"
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
William Menking.
While most of the attendees at the recently opened Venice Biennale were thinking about the basic Elements of Architecture a younger generation of architects were concerned about something even more basic: how to earn a living. In a series of Arsenale round table talks called Stay Radical created by New York–based Superscript, young Italian architects talked about the difficulties of earning even the most basic living wage in their country devastated by recession and a historic system of wage depression. Meanwhile the New York group, The Architect's Lobby took matters into their own hand and with megaphones held a protest just outside entrance to the Venetian Giardini (above).
La Moglie di Lot in Venice Remembers Superstudio's Radical Ideas
Friday, June 6, 2014
William Menking.
The Florentine architecture group Superstudio enjoyed the penultimate moment on the world architecture stage at the 1972 MoMA exhibition, The New Domestic Landscape. However, by the end of that decade with worldwide radical politics on the wane and postmodernism on the rise, the Florentines found their radicale arguments and practice marginalized and they began to move away from architecture towards other sorts of design initiatives. But before the group left the international stage, they created one last potent architectural statement: La Moglie di Lot and displayed it at the 1978 Venice Biennale of Art.
Walking through the "Elements of Architecture" exhibit at the 2014 Venice Biennale
Thursday, June 5, 2014
William Menking.
The 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale is a bit like walking into a giant research project. If the exhibition The Elements of Architecture is not necessary thrilling to the spirit it is at least full of ideas on the basics of construction. It is possible to walk through a dozen times and come away with new information and concepts. Here is a quick look at several of the ideas in this intellectual project masquerading as an exhibition.
Sights around Venice during Day Two of the Biennale
Wednesday, June 4, 2014
William Menking.
It's day two at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale and AN had a chance to run through Monditalia in the Venetian arsenal while workers and young architects were feverishly finishing their installations. Here is a selection of iPhone image of projects we saw on our whirlwind tour.
On View> Radical Pedagogies: ACTION-REACTION-INTERACTION at the 2014 Venice Biennale
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
William Menking.
AN just had a quick Arsenale walkthrough of Radical Pedagogies: ACTION-REACTION-INTERACTION by creator and Princeton professor Beatriz Colomina. The Arsenale has been given over in this biennale to Monditalia, a single-theme exhibition with exhibits, events, and theatrical productions engaging Italian architecture with politics, economics, religion, technology, and industry. In this installation the other festivals of la Biennale di Venezia—film, dance, theatre, and music—will be mobilized through the architecture event to contribute to a comprehensive portrait of the host country.
On View> Here Are Some Great Events Happening at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale
Tuesday, June 3, 2014

The 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale has published a list of events around Venice during the opening three days of the biennale. Below is a list of collateral events not to be missed if you're in Venice.
2014 Venice Biennale kicks off with a major off-site presence
Monday, June 2, 2014
William Menking.
AN is already in Venice preparing an edited list of the best of the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale. The biennale in years past was confined to the spectacular Arsenale and the pavilion-filled giardini (some of the pavilions were designed by Carlo Scarpa), but one of the big changes in the past two biennials is the number of off-site events, pavilions, and installations that now participate in the architecture fair.
New iPad App Explores the Architecture and Urban Design of Berlin, Beirut & Venice
Thursday, March 28, 2013
William Menking.
Architecture and urban design apps are appearing so fast its hard to keep up with the latest new site to investigate city history and growth. But a new one—Archipelago Town-lines—is the result of a 3 year-long research on three key places: Berlin, Beirut, and Venice. It uses original photo galleries, video, and audio content and interactive data visualization features, as a guide for new urban geography, history, and lifestyle of these three very different cities. These places are then place holders for the analysis of contemporary urban trends, in order to propose a new possibility for growth.
Koolhaas to Mastermind 2014 Venice Biennale
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Alan G. Brake.
Rem Koolhaas has been named director of the 2014 Venice Biennale, the 14th edition of the architecture exhibition. Koolhaas, a leading thinker and persistent provocateur in the discipline, succeeds David Chipperfield. "The Architecture Exhibitions of the Biennale have gradually grown in importance internationally," said Biennale President Paolo Baratta in a statement. "Rem Koolhaas, one of the most significant personalities among the architects of our time—who has based all his work on intense research, now renowned celebrity—has accepted to engage himself in yet another research and, why not, rethinking."
Chipperfield's exhibition, called Common Ground, which sought to identify continuities across cultures, time periods, and architectural approaches, divided critics. Koolhaas will take a different approach: "We want to take a fresh look at the fundamental elements of architecture—used by any architect, anywhere, anytime—to see if we can discover something new about architecture."
Protesting for Pussy Riot at the Venice Biennale
Friday, August 31, 2012
William Menking.
The Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale has in recent years been a bit of a snore. The space has been filled most recently in 2010 with unconvincing drawings of older Russian cities and earlier (2008) with models of Ordos McMansions. But this year the pavilion's interior was spectacularly reconfigured with walls of glass QR codes in its central space forming a digital dome, but the display's heavy-handedness brought to mind earlier periods of Russian single mindedness and even totalitarianism.
It seems those in charge of this year's Venice effort finally realized what kind of pavilion makes an impact in the giardini on harried biennale visitors and journalists and went for the full design monty. But the tensions in contemporary Russian society were also highlighted on Thursday during the Golden Lion awards presentation ceremony when a few hundred feet away a crew of cocktail-dressed and balaclava-wearing young Russian women "occupied" the exterior of the pavilion to make the case for the Pussy Riot band back in Russia recently jailed for hooliganism.
A rumor quickly spread that actual members of the band who had escaped Russie were present at the protest. Were these actually Pussy Rioters or sympathizers? No one was sure but it sure beat listening to the Biennale directors and bureaucrats drone on about Common Ground as the press rushed over from the dreadful press conference.

"Collaboration is an unnatural action among non-consenting adults." Eugene Bardach (as cited in Chever, Clifton, & Hogan, 2005)
For our next #macrosw Twitter chat, we'll be focusing on collaboration as an example of macro social work practice. As you may know, I conducted a long-term, qualitative evaluation of an interagency collaboration program called Charlestown Connects for my dissertation. The Charlestown Connects program sought to improve community outcomes via interagency collaboration between local government and nonprofit agencies. Building on a prior evaluation, this study examined how the processes involved in the Charlestown Connects interagency collaboration evolved and long-term intervention effects. Using qualitative interviews with program stakeholders and observations of community meetings sponsored by Charlestown Connects, this study provides guidance on improving interagency collaborations for social workers and others engaging in community work. Major findings include the impact of interagency collaboration relationship building, an examination of factors and processes that helped grow and sustain the collaboration, and implications for the role macro social work may play in leading community infrastructure rebuilding efforts in the future.
Questions for discussion:
- How can macro social workers make an impact in our communities?
- How do we engage modern social workers in community practice work?
- How can social workers help rebuild community communication infrastructure?
- What resources do you need to get more involved in community work?

The Next Seven Weeks, c/o Rodney Dangerfield
Between resubmitting dissertation revisions (for those of you counting at home it has now been a year of back and forth edits…ugh) and working five jobs this semester, life RAM and morale are pretty low these days. It will likely stay this way for the next seven weeks when teaching two courses will end. Couldn't have said it better myself:
RIP Rodney!
#MacroSW Twitter Chats Start Tonight at 9pm EST!
- WHEN: The chats will be held on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 9:00 PM EST.
- WHAT: An awesome new series of Twitter chats over the next few weeks discussing macro social work practice, policy, and collaboration.
- WHO: Myself and colleagues from the Association for Community Organizing and Social Administration (ACOSA), the Network for Social Work Management (NSWM), Social Work Helper, the University at Buffalo School of Social Work, the University of Southern California School of Social Work, social workers and others interested in discussing macro social work practice.
THIS WEEK: Discussion of the Rothmann Report. As described by Rachel West:
Over the past year I have written often about the findings in the Rothman Report, which you can read below. The report found that macro social work is in trouble. Schools of social work are increasingly cutting out macro focused courses, there are few macro field placements available, and faculty and administration are actively discouraging students from pursuing community practice work.
Following the publication of the report, ACOSA formed a commission that was tasked with expanding on the research in the report and coming up with solutions to the concerns raised. Recently the Congressional Research Institute for Social Work and Policy (CRISP) wrote an article about the Rothman Commision. You can find that article here.

The Teachers
Some respect, c/o The Teachers:
All of you former students: you did not design curricula, plan lessons, attend faculty meetings, assess papers, design rubrics, create exams, prepare report cards, and monitor attendance. You did not tutor students, review rough drafts, and create study questions. You did not assign homework. You did not write daily lesson objectives on the white board. You did not write poems of the week on the white board. You did not write homework on the white board. You did not learn to write legibly on the white board while simultaneously making sure that none of your students threw a chair out a window.
You did not design lessons that succeeded. You did not design lessons that failed.
My favorite teaching moment from last week:
In both of the research methods classes I am teaching this semester, we are operationalizing variables, a phrase I have trouble saying out loud properly because I get nervous sometimes while teaching and seriously, operationalizing is a crazy word to try and say. Basically when operationalizing a variable, we indicate how we define the variable and identify indicators so it can be tested or measured. I put social conformity on the board and asked the class to operationalize it. From the corner of the room a student yelled out:
Bravo. Brilliant! And for good measure, a friend recently gave me this shirt. ❤ Super-psyched to be teaching this semester!

How do I grow sweet potatoes?
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is easy to grow if you have plenty of space in your garden. It is a tender, warm-season plant that requires a long growing season in order to produce mature large edible roots. Grow sweet potatoes from young plants called "slips." Plant them 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart after the soil warms up in spring. Plant in raised beds or ridges; these soil ridges warm up earlier in spring and drain better than a level planting area. Harvest will also be easier for plants grown in ridges. Harvest sweet potatoes just before the first fall frost. Carefully dig under the roots to lift them. To cure the roots for storage, place them in a warm (85?F), humid location for 10-14 days. Then store them at 55?F for up to 4 months.

Productivity is a key measurement for any company, country or individual. August, however, has to rank at the bottom of productive months, but my bet is that it is improving. Let's review: The U.S. Congress is out of session for the month; much of Europe takes "holiday" during the month; many families take the last vacation before school starts at the end of the month; much of Wall Street (I'm told) is in the Hamptons or on the Cape; Cisco's annual sales meeting is this week, so many colleagues and executives are there launching our FY08 plans…so, in a word, if people are away from the office or on holiday, you would think that less work is being done.However, (CISCO PLUG ALERT!!!) as the network allows you nearly anytime, anywhere connectivity to all your data, voice and video applications, you can seamlessly work from, say, St. John's, Virgin Island (where I would like to be currently) and never miss a beat. But, wait, you say, I'M ON VACATION!!! Yes, I say, anytime, anwhere connectivity has its detractions. However, I honestly prefer to stay on top of e-mail and voicemail while away, so that when I get back I'm not more buried than I was when I left. Sure, other philosophies may differ, but it works for me. Read More »

FINAL UPDATE: Cisco.com Outage
Service to Cisco.com has been restored and all applications are now fully operational. The issue occurred during preventative maintenance of one of our data centers when a human error caused an electrical overload on the systems. This caused Cisco.com and other applications to go down. Because of the severity of the overload, the redundancy measures in some of the applications and power systems were impacted as well, though the system did shut down as designed to protect the people and the equipment. As a result, no data were lost and no one was injured. Cisco has plans already in process to add additional redundancies to increase the resilience of these systems. Again, we thank our customers and our partners for their patience during the resolution of this issue.
Math and Science Funding Vital for Future U.S. Competitiveness
President Bush today signed into law the America COMPETES Act, which, according to the White House is a "comprehensive strategy to keep America the most innovative nation in the world by strengthening our scientific education and research, improving our technological enterprise, attracting the world's best and brightest workers, and providing 21st century job training."Then-Cisco Chairman of the Board John Morgridge testified before the House Science Committee in the last session of Congress on these very principles and Cisco has supported more funding for math and science training for years.After the bill was signed into law by President Bush, Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers stated, "One of the most important economic policy issues today is helping our nation remain the global leader in innovation, particularly through robust broadband deployment, math and science education, and resources dedicated to leading-edge research. We believe this compromise provides a strategic roadmap to ensure America remains the leader in the world economy. We applaud the leadership of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and their steadfast support of this vital measure to create tomorrow's scientific advancement."
Is Your PC Just a Paperweight?
Post by Joe Burton, Chief Technology Officer, Unified CommunicationsAt Networkers at Cisco Live!, we met with customers and partners to talk about challenges and opportunities they face while developing a future-proof unified communications strategy. For many of them, a network-centric approach to UC not only meets their immediate need for reliable business communications, but it also lays the foundation to meet future communications needs of an increasingly mobile, collaborative, virtual and socially-networked workforce. Compare this to those who are deploying a PC- (and email) centric strategy that creates a workforce of"haves" and"have-nots" due to inherent device and operating system constraints.The rapidly declining importance of email and the desktop computer is not one that I would have foreseen even as few as five years ago. There was a wonderful recent article in CNET,"Kids say e-mail is, like, soooo dead," that talked about the irrelevance of email for these customers and employees of tomorrow. For those of us with more mileage on our tires, the introduction of mobile-mail devices into the workspace has accelerated this trend into reality. When was the last time you re-opened an email or email attachment on your laptop's email client after you had already skimmed through it on your mobile device? It has probably been awhile. Think about the length of the last email message you sent from your BlackBerry or smart phone? Most likely it contained fewer than a dozen words. And think of the volume of email you receive on a daily basis? How many are short replies that beget more short replies. Increasingly as we rely on portable devices and smart phones we are actually leveraging the email directory and transport infrastructure to send SMS-style messages. Read More »

Why does VNC suck?
Posted 18 July 2008 - 01:50 PM
I'm connecting into this quad-core machine over gigabit Ethernet. This machine is fast enough to encode and stream extremely high quality video, and the network is fast enough to move it, and my dual-core laptop is fast enough to decode it. Why does it still look like crap?
(Yes, I'm aware that it's dependent on my setup, compression, client, resolution, server, polling, color depth...etc), but I've never seen really good VNC in general, like VNC so good that forgot you were using it. The only thing that I've seen that comes close is desktop sharing in iChat because it has some impressive compression system)

Posted 18 July 2008 - 03:11 PM
Not sure exactly why but it was something about the encoding, I switched to Hextile and everything just worked. Might try different encoding methods
Posted 18 July 2008 - 03:25 PM
Posted 18 July 2008 - 08:42 PM
Put another way, it's kind of like watching TV over a closed-circuit camera. Yes, if you were just watching TV natively or through a super-duper high-end elaborate videoconferencing setup, it would look and sound a lot better... but that's not what a closed-circuit camera is designed to do. :)
I have used and loved VNC for several years now; it is great in a pinch, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone in need of a remote control solution. It's not made to be pretty or slick; it's made to get the job done. And it does.
Posted 18 July 2008 - 08:51 PM
Posted 18 July 2008 - 10:27 PM
It is purely a remote control utility. Instead of just giving a "virtual" desktop like RDP or Citrix, it has to take everything that is on the screen, encode it, pipe it over the connection, un-encode it, then re-create the desktop... all in as close to real-time as possible.
I agree with the first part of your argument, I didn't think about it but you are right, they were all designed to be tools. I need a VNC that is actually designed to create a seamless experience. Somebody above said that the VNCs you pay for a better, and I think that makes sense. Like the Apple iChat Screen Sharing thing is pretty amazing in that it uses Variable Compression.
The second part of your statement, and I had to think about this for a while to make sure I wasn't wrong before destroying it like a prick, is completely nonsense. In a previous life I did professional multimedia production for a living, and the hardest computer related encoding task is determining what has changed in an image. Thats why codecs like h.264 take much longer to encode because the computer spends most of it's time trying to figure out how it can use the least amount of space to store the "most" amount of day, it's very very hard.
Given THAT is the hardest encoding problem, it does not apply (maybe a little, but not even close) to the desktop. In a video the pixels are constantly changing (lens noise, shadows, lighting...etc), and the computer decides which are important and which aren't. On the desktop it's perfectly easy for a computer to decede what has changed, because the screen will remain perfectly the same unless a change happens. The computer doesn't usually need to calculate tolerances, it never has to decide "Did the menu open enough for me to care about it?" because it's pretty black and white if the menu is open.
So not only is encoding for VNC significantly less difficult than encoding video, I'm using a machine that can handle it. When this machine was built (for video editing and encoding) like two years ago, it was arguably the fast machine that money could buy (for that task). The GPU, CPU, and RAM were all the fastest possible at the time. I get the same VNC experience now, that I got on my 1.2Ghz machine. But this machine has 3.0GHz(x4). VNC can monopolize 1, 2, or even 3 cores for it's processing if it can't unload some of that to the GPU (and it's my understand that only commercial VNC products really leverage GPU power).
"Pipe it over that connection", also doesn't apply because this network was built to support production class machines that had to move huge amounts of data between computers and a NAS. Not only does it have the bandwidth to support more data, it is correctly setup and can route data as fast as any network.
"Un-encode it", Decompressing doesn't take as much power as encoding/compressing. Even though my laptop is only a dual-core machine, that should be more than enough to decode anything sufficiently.
"Re-create the desktop", I don't actually know at all how that works, so you could have a point, maybe creative the desktop is very hard. But I have played games like bioshock and half-life on my laptop, and I would assume that those are going to work the system much harder.
Although I would completely agree that like CCTV systems, VNC was designed for a different purpose than creating a really smooth desktop session (cctv vs. video conferencing). And I don't all mean for this to sound like a personal attack, but your excuse that VNC is doing a difficult task and limited by processing/bandwidth, is completely wrong. (And it's possible that I misunderstood that, you could have just been pointing out the obvious significance of what it's doing, not necessarily that it's limited by any of those components)
Posted 18 July 2008 - 11:11 PM
Also, VNC has roots way way back. It was also originally designed to be as cross-platform (i.e. elegantly functional) as possible. A lot of the modern day flavors have simply taken the existing code and brought it forward, so there is legacy code in there that is likely in need of a nice rewrite. UltraVNC is a variant that caters to Windows, and I've noticed some performance gains when using that one compared to some others. TightVNC, by counterexample, is optimized for slow connections, so it is more "lossy" than other variants.
I dunno, I guess I just never had extremely high expectations for it. I was a kid when 2400 baud was king, so lag never bothered me. (I still recall how fast I thought a 14.4kbps modem was when I first saw one.) VNC works great as a tool, but not so much as a remote desktop.
Ah, here is what Wikipedia has to say about how it works: http://en.wikipedia....i/Vnc#Operation
The VNC protocol (RFB) is very simple, based on one graphic primitive from server to client ("Put a rectangle of pixel data at the specified X,Y position") and event messages from client to server.
The server sends small rectangles of the framebuffer to the client. In its simplest form, the VNC protocol can use a lot of bandwidth, so various methods have been devised to reduce the communication overhead. For example, there are various encodings (methods to determine the most efficient way to transfer these rectangles). The VNC protocol allows the client and server to negotiate which encoding will be used. The simplest encoding, which is supported by all clients and servers, is the raw encoding where pixel data is sent in left-to-right scanline order, and after the original full screen has been transmitted, only transfers rectangles that change. This encoding works very well if only a small portion of the screen changes from one frame to the next (like a mouse pointer moving across a desktop, or text being written at the cursor), but bandwidth demands get very high if a lot of pixels change at the same time, such as when scrolling a window or viewing full-screen video.
Posted 18 July 2008 - 11:41 PM
stuff like Citrix and RDP work pretty nicely
They use some neat methods of polling coupled with variable bit rates and black magic.

Another reason VNC is so slow is because it will refresh the entire screen with each little movement of the mouse. More robust remote applications will just refresh the portions of the screen that show movement. I think the paid VNC apps do this as well.

"If a mother doesn't let the father see his children, then she shouldn't expect or ask for any money from him" says DH(106 Posts)
I suppose the thread could have gone in many places, AIBU, Feminism, Chat... but I've put it here because I think (sadly) people might have experience of what DH and I were talking about and so might be able to give some informed opinions.
For background, DH and I were watching Corrie, David and Kylie have split up and she won't let him see the children because she believes he could be a danger to them. David wants access to the joint bank account but Kylie thinks the money should be all for her and the kids and this is what prompted DH to say:
"If a mother doesn't let the father see his children, then she shouldn't expect or ask for any money from him"
I then said, what if the dad is an abuser, has committed DV against the mum for example, what then? DH replied that in that case if the dad was truly such a terrible person than the mum should 'have pride' and 'not WANT' to take any of his money as child support. I said well principles are all very well, but they won't pay for heating, or uniform, or food. Surely the best interests of the child must always be paramount which in that case means the dad should not be allowed to see his kids BUT he should be expected to pay child support.
DH loudly disagreed and TBH got quite narky about it! I would like to know whose way of thinking is right here?!
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I would say:
1) children aren't pay per view.
2) What does your dh think would happen to the child if their mother also decided to opt out of being a parent? Or is it only the man who is allowed to opt out?
He can think what he likes but the law of the land doesn't agree with him. Dads don't get to rent their children by the hour and I would think very poorly of any man that thought they should.
"Children are not pay per view", I wish I had heard of that phrase the other night! I did say, "you realise the money is not for the MUM, it's for the KIDS, who have done nothing wrong in this situation", but he didn't seem to get it.
I think in the last year or so I have been on here so much and really had my eyes opened about things like this, feminism, and "how the real world works". Sometimes it feels like DH has got this idea of how the world should be in his mind but doesn't see that in reality that is just not how things do or should work!
Slowly I am pointing out things like 'everyday sexism' to him and I think it's starting to get through, then we have a conversation like the one the other night and I think I am back to square one!
an absent parent seeing the children of the relationship is not to benefit the absent parent, but to benefit the children. I cant quite work out where an absent parents 'rights' sit when children seem to have no right at all to see an adult absent parent if the parent in question cant be arsed,
yet still seems to think they are absent-parent of the year for strolling up and taking them to mcdonalds if it suits them
finance regarding the children is very much a separate issue
I think you could ask him what would he think would have been fair if he had been the child of a marriage broken by DV.
He's putting himself in the position of a man who wouldn't be allowed to see his children.
He needs to put himself in the children's place or the DV victim's (/parent left with the children's) place.
I dont understand why any good parent would stop the other parent from seeing their children but still be willing to take money - emotionally its better for the children to know both parents love them.
On the other hand I can totally understand why a parent would stop contact with the other parent if they were bad or disruptive - in that circumstance the responsibility for financial support would still remain in my opinion.
Dont like to use father as not all bad parents are fathers.
I absolutely agree, Snape.
I think the crux of the
argument discussion was, what if the children are not seeing the absent parent, not because the absent parent can't be bothered, but because he/she is a danger to the children: e.g., child abuse, DV and so on.
DH was adamant that then the remaining parent should have more pride than to ask for money from the absent parent. This is what I mean by him living in an imaginary world. Pride won't pay the bills and if you are a lone parent because your ex is a terrible person who poses a danger to your children then I am guessing you are going to need every penny you can get. Not think 'I have more pride than to take money from him'.
Or, would the lone parent think that? Is DH right? I don't know.
Although, it is an interesting debate.
Parents who give up their children for adoption aren't considered responsible for their maintenance. Should absent parents be able to opt out of contributing towards their children by opting out of any parental rights over them?
As a victim of DV, actually, I think the abusers should have mandatory contributions towards the financial losses suffered.
Stuff pride.
Most DV victims end up in smaller houses, with solicitor expenses, etc, with less income because they were victims of a crime. Why not be entitled to compensation, as you would for libel, for example?
On the other side of the coin, I must say I'm confused by some mothers who bend over backwards to make sure their children have a 'relationship' with a mostly absent, non paying father. I don't think I would be so gracious.
"I dont understand why any good parent would stop the other parent from seeing their children but still be willing to take money..."
...because they aren't good parents, or are just plain stupid/selfish, or are consumed by their own anger.
There are some who think "...I'm not getting to see my kids so why should I pay", just as there are some who think "...No money, no contact with the kids" - silliness at either ends, and the children very quickly become a commodity.
My ex would never see his kids then, he pays nothing and I've had to separate the two things.
The other thing here is that an abusive nrp would use this S a means to control the ex - not fair on the dc
I let out a hollow laugh when I saw the title. So if a man chooses to pay no maintainance should he have no right of access then? How many of us mothers on here encourage access with no maintainance, purely to allow our dc to have a relationship with their dads?
My son has a very troubled friend - mum hates dad and is very vocal about his failings (she has a lot of reasons to be angry with him to be fair) but im not sure slating him to the children is good for them.
Once they grow up they will see for themselves if their parents are good or bad but, unless the parent is abusive or dangerous, it is better to leave them to make that decison for themselves as they grow up.
Of course absent parents should pay for their children whether they see them or not. No grey area here at all.
However, if they pay AND they are deemed to be a fit parent, then more should be done to ensure an absent parent who wants to see their child, can. The £60m question is how would their parental 'fitness' be easily established and how would it be administered?
Point out to him that a lot of victims of DV walk out with the cloths they stand up in, have no joint finances (financial abuse is very common in DV relationships) so find themselves in a refuge room, eating donating tinned ravioli, wearing donated clothes. They have to apply for crisis loans as they can't afford so much as a tin of formula and a pack of nappies until their benefits are in place which takes several weeks.
They have to stay there until they have slowly and steadily saved up enough to have left or they can wait for a council property. This can take up to a year and is commonly a minimum of 6 months.
I fought tooth and nail to keep P away for my DD when the above applied to me. I also fought tooth and nail to get maintenance in place. This was because I was making one tin of tomato soup and two rolls last me a whole day so that I could afford formula and nappies for my daughter.
Your DH is living in cloud fucking cuckoo land. If I'd had pride I wouldn't have eaten. If I'd had pride my daughter would have been in the same nappy from the moment she woke up until when she went to bed like a woman who I was in refuge with until we rallied round and shared what we had.
The women that have reason have to stop access between father and child are the women that have to put their child's safety first and so leave when they can. For one women I knew in refuge, she had managed to lose her partner unexpectedly in a crowded shopping centre, had rung WA and been given an emergency room. She came in with nothing, not even a clean pair of undies or a bank card. She still needed to feed both her kids.
Your DH is clearly just unaware of the reality of the situation so many women find themselves in. Well done for challenging. Maybe get him to read the thread?
Wallace thank you for sharing that. Yours is exactly the kind of situation that I was trying to explain to DH. I will share your post with him and I hope things are better for you now
And you're right, he does live in cloud cuckoo land about things like this. I just don't think he's ever really experienced that side of life, he's never had cause to think about it or known anyone in that position. Hence his rather black and white thinking on things like this. I am doing my best to educate him!
It's so common. Most people can try and imagine what it might be like and debate how they would react in that situation but the reality is not much talked about. please do show him my post.
We did talk about this while in refuge as I was there over Christmas. We couldn't really afford a Christmas but the refuge staff rallied round providing some basic food, cheap presents and a tree with lights and tinsel. The kids in there were all scarred one way or another. There was a little girl who repeatedly woke in the night screaming, she was having flashbacks of the abuse she had witnessed. A little boy had become very withdrawn, flinched at sudden movements, wet the bed, hid when he heard shouting or loud noises. Not all DCs are effected in such dramatic ways but they all remember and have parts of their childhoods stolen from them. And their fathers are responsible for that. From our perspective those men weren't fit to spend any time with those children if there was a chance they could inflict further damage. However they are still responsible for bringing those children into the world, and if they are so damaged that they can't parent them, they can still provide for them and so contribute to their lives in a way that can only benefit them. That money ensures a home, food, clothes, school uniforms.
Don't those children deserve that rather than to be punished. How do you explain to a five year old boy that he can't have any new school shoes because your pride prevents you from accepting money from their father? Maintenance is in place because it is expected that when to people have a child they have a responsibility to ensure a quality of life and basic needs met of that child. In a relationship both parents would naturally put money towards the upkeep of that child, that responsibility doesn't end if you separate. It isn't about the mans rights, and how he shouldn't have to pay if he can't see that child, it's about doing right by that child regardless of how you feel about the other parent. The reality he's not realising is a child doing with less because of an idea of pride.
I think what I'm trying to say is that I've seen the flip side, the actual reality of what a child's life is reduced to when DV has been present and a parent has fled. I've lived it and know that if your husband faced the reality he would fight to get his hands on that maintenance because failing to do so results in children suffering.
In refuge you have to lie low until you are relocated away from an area connected to your partner so unless you have savings that's several weeks relying on benefits. You have to pay to stay in refuge, mostly via HB meaning you only pay a service charge but it's still more money. Then you need to pay for tokens to use the laundry rooms, you have to buy your own loo roll and basics and keep them separate. These little things add up.
Some women are able to work but taking childcare into consideration it's tough. Tougher still when trying to remain invisible and untraceable to ex partners, many women didn't like leaving their kids with childminders etc after school and tbh a lot of the kids needed a lot of tlc and time with mum. A lot of the women are processing and suffering with depression, PTSD or just need some time to adjust so that's a longer stretch on benefits. Or they have been controlled for so long that they don't work, have lost confidence and aren't in a position to waltz into a full time job. So most are on benefits. So that maintenance money really does make a significant difference.
I am bowing out now, as I'm getting quite emotional about this. I hope you have some luck in discussing this with him.
Also please tell him that the hardest thing to accept is that you need to swallow the pride he's talking about. I can remember being in floods of tears and feeling like I had failed because I needed to accept Ps money. Of course I had pride, I didn't want any connection with him at all, let alone letting him think that I needed him in any way, that I owed him. But I had to swallow those feelings and go crawling to him cap in hand (before I had the sense to contact the CSA). He used it as a stick to beat me with, really lorded it over me. Not nice.
The money belongs to the children. Any man who thinks a woman should "have more pride" than to want her kids to be properly housed, fed, clothed and cared for is thinking the man is more important than the kids' welfare. It's not his money, or the woman's. It's the children's money he is trying to argue should be denied.
I think women who refuse contact for no good reason whatsoever (and they do exist) should lose primary residence, because denying a child one of their parents is a deeply emotionally abusive thing to do. But child support is always about what the child needs, and for a man to think his contact with them should dictate whether they're properly supported is pretty breathtakingly egocentric. Albeit very common.
So if a man chooses to pay no maintainance should he have no right of access then? How many of us mothers on here encourage access with no maintainance, purely to allow our dc to have a relationship with their dads?
This, too.

|Jun. 1st, 2011 @ 12:01 am Annual Fiesta in Celebration of the Anniversary of the Occassion of Tim's Birth
I'm feeling: sillyEvery year since about 1994, my friends and I have celebrated my birthday by meeting up for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. In 2008 I moved to Colorado, so it hasn't been possible to get together with all of my Georgia and South Carolina friends for the annual traditional Mexican meal for the last couple of years. In 2010, some friends decided to go out for Mexican around my birthday and sent me a photo of them enjoying their meal to let me know they were thinking about the tradition. So, I started an album of these photos - eventually it grew to be an international celebration when my friend Ken sent pics from a meal in Mexico! 2010 International Fiesta Celebration of Tim's Birth
So... If you would like to be part of this year's Fiesta Celebration, it will be going on ALL month long in June. All it takes is to take a picture of you, your friends, your family, etc., enjoying a Mexican meal and to get the picture to me. You can send the pic however you like and, with your permission, I will include it in a collection of photos in this web photo album:
Here are ways to contact me and join the fiesta:
|Apr. 6th, 2011 @ 09:54 am Mary Lillian Bondy Bond, 1935-2011
|Mary Lillian Bondy Bond, born in 1935, passed away March 27th while visiting with family in Birmingham, Alabama. She is survived by five sisters, a sister-in-law and a brother: A. Arthur Bondy, Jr. (Thelma), Marguerite B. Bondy, Catherine B. Paine (Charlie), Pauline B. Hernandez (John), Gayle B. Brown (Carl, Jr.), Alice B. Hill (Fred), and Adelaide Bondy; preceded by her parents, Auguste A. Bondy, Sr. and Annie Scott Hays Bondy; preceded by her siblings David J. Bondy, Anne B. Triche and Patricia B. LaCour. She is survived by her five children: John A. Bond, III, Paul J. Bond, Stephanie Atwood, Timothy Bond, and Charlotte Bond; and nine grandchildren.
Mary, a native of New Roads, LA, graduated in 1958 from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor of Science in home economics and subsequently completed her Masters of Nutrition also from Louisiana State University. She retired from a distinguished career as a nutritional counselor to people at risk in both Louisiana and Georgia. Mary taught high school, but was most pleased with successfully raising five children. Many of Mary's friends and family have her artwork, mostly acrylic and water color paintings, by which to remember her favorite hobby. Few know of how often she would take or send her children and dearest friends to remote locations to get the ideal picture of a light house, beach or seascape to keep her sufficiently inspired. Mary loved animals and rescued several cats and dogs.
Mary is most deeply missed by her family and friends. A memorial of her life will be celebrated in New Roads, LA, in June. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Humane Society or the American Cancer Society.
|Oct. 6th, 2010 @ 04:03 pm Strengths 2.0
Back in October 2004, I took the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment and was told my top 5 strengths/themes were:
Here in our office, we were asked to take the assessment again and here are the 5 top themes I got this time:
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.
People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
People who are especially talented in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
People who are especially talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. They are often impatient.

|Jun. 28th, 2010 @ 12:09 pm My vacation diary
I don't take off annual leave days often. This is because I mostly want to feel like they have gone to good use rather than just to take a random day off. Then, when I want to take a real vacation, I've got plenty of accumulated leave to use.
Last year Toby and I didn't feel like we could take as much time or spend too much money, so we centered our trips out of town around free weekends at the National Parks as well as my time off around xmas. These were great vacations, but not as long & relaxing as I'd like.
This year, however, Toby came up with an even better idea. Turns out that Denver is only a few hours' drive from the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming, home to Devils Tower, Mt. Rushmore & the Crazy Horse memorial, among other things. Toby found out that the ongoing carving at Crazy Horse includes two "night blasts" every year at June 26 and September 6, so he suggested that we plan our vacation around the June event. Toby reviewed maps, travel guides, websites, etc., and put together a five-day itinerary of driving, camping and sightseeing. As luck would have it, Denver's gay pride celebration was moved up to an earlier weekend, so we could take part in that and go on our vacation, creating a week full of fun.
I started the vacation thinking I was going to be sick. ( So...Collapse )

|I don't know why I haven't done this sooner, but I've finally gotten around to moving my Twitter posts to their own LiveJournal. I've been awful about updating here - what with Facebook and Twitter being so very easy to update in mere seconds, I've become too lazy to actually use the energy, time & thought needed to write a blog post. I've also let Toby take most of the photos when we go places because and he's much better about posting them.

The Internet now plays an important role in education. This paper reviews the current literature on Internet-based science learning environments, focusing in particular on the characteristics of learners that affect the extent of science learning. It offers a useful resource for ISE practitioners who provide online science learning.
Sharples, M., Scanlon, E., Ainsworth, S., Anastopoulou, S., Collins, T., Crook, C., Jones, A., Kerawalla, L., Littleton, K., Mulholland, P., & O'Malley, C. (2014). Personal inquiry: Orchestrating science investigations within and beyond the classroom. Journal of the Learning Sciences. Doi: 10.1080/10508406.2014.944642
Mobile technology can be used to scaffold inquiry-based learning, enabling learners to work across settings and times, singly or in collaborative groups. It can expand learners' opportunities to understand the nature of inquiry whilst they engage with the scientific content of a specific inquiry. This Sharples et al. paper reports on the use of the mobile computer-based inquiry toolkit nQuire. Teachers found the tool useful in helping students to make sense of data from varied settings.
Denner, J., Bean, S., & Martinez, J. (2009). The Girl Game Company: Engaging Latina girls in information technology. Afterschool Matters, 8, 26–35.
Although digital technology has become ubiquitous in our time, not everyone is afforded the same opportunities to pursue the fields of engineering, computer science, and advanced technology. This paper examines how an afterschool and summer program for middle school girls considered the roles of gender, culture, and youth development to increase the participation of Latinas in IT careers.
Watermeyer, R. (2010). Social network science: pedagogy, dialogue, deliberation. Journal of Science Communication, 9(1), 1–9.
ISE professionals can use this study as a guide to help them in understanding the uses of social networking sites (SNS). The author maintains that SNS provide a space that allows the public to become better acquainted with the work of scientists, stimulating transparency and accountability, and that encourages the public to become active contributors to scientific research and debate.

Do video games have positive impacts on the academic K–12 curriculum? A literature review of more than 300 research articles finds minimal evidence that video games have any positive effects on mathematics and science achievement. From a situated-learning perspective, however, games may afford other benefits that measures on test scores do not record.

The past 50 years have seen a change in how science is perceived, from an "unproblematic accumulation of facts that describe the world" to a much messier enterprise involving building and revising models and theories. In an effort to bring this new understanding to science teaching and learning, this foundational article presents a conceptual framework of how inquiry can be driven by cognitive tools that support disciplinary knowledge. The authors use rubrics to help students gain a deeper understanding of their work and of the inquiry process.
Bell, T., Urhahne, D., Schanze, S., & Ploetzner, R. (2010). Collaborative inquiry learning: Models, tools, and challenges. International Journal of Science Education, 32(3), 349–377.
This article provides a summary of computer tools and environments designed to support collaborative inquiry learning. It offers ISE practitioners an informative introduction to computer-based tools and activities currently available in classrooms and, by identifying the ways in which such tools support inquiry, may help readers to reflect on how their own activities support inquiry.

The marbled murrelet, a pigeon-sized seabird, is a federally 'threatened' species covered by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources' (DNR's) Trust Lands Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). DNR has operated with an interim murrelet conservation strategy since the approval of its HCP by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 1997, when scientific knowledge about the murrelet was limited. Marbled murrelet ecology and habitat use were not well understood, particularly in relation to nesting habitat in DNR-managed forests.
DNR is working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on the Marbled Murrelet Long-term Conservation Strategy (MMLTCS) for DNR's six Western Washington HCP Planning Units: Straits, Olympic Experimental State Forest, South Coast, Columbia, South Puget, and North Puget.
The strategy will help conserve marbled murrelet habitat on state trust lands in western Washington, while allowing for timber harvest and other activities that earn revenue for public schools, counties, and other trust land beneficiaries. With this strategy, we are committed to meeting our fiduciary responsibilities to trust beneficiaries as well as working with USFWS to support marbled murrelet conservation.
DNR and USFWS have been working intensively on the development of alternatives for the MMLTCS. Both agencies have been working to create an objective and transparent analytical framework based on sound science that uses actual effects to the murrelet and ways to mitigate for those effects as a basis for building alternatives. At the November 4, 2014 Board of Natural Resources Meeting DNR presented information outlining the analytical framework that will be used for the development of the MMTLCS alternatives. The presentation can be viewed at this link.
As materials are ready for public review, they will be posted here and on DNR's SEPA Center website. If you would like to be notified about opportunities to give input during the formal environmental review process for this proposal, send your email address to email@example.com. If you are interested in general updates on the status of the planning process, send your name and contact information to firstname.lastname@example.com.

What's UP with Real Estate?
What's the current scoop on ranch property? These experts of their areas share insight.
Connie Amelang
Alam Realty
Inland Empire and High Desert
We are in a "healthy" real estate market where the prices are trending upward steadily but not at a high rate. We are expecting single digit appreciation in California for 2015 and that is fine. Over-inflation causes problems of its own. Buyers are buying, and with the help of their agent, are doing their research on prices of the properties they are viewing. If a property is priced right (in line with comparables), the sellers are many times getting full price offers. If the property is over-priced we are seeing few showings and few, if any, offers. CalBRE #00896631

Tractors and the Ranch
What equipment and products are difference-makers on your horse operation? Here are some favorites
Arena Technologies
(800) 506-8749
Arena Technologies makes great ground, providing the tools and services to get it done. The company was founded by Randy Fenimore in 2001 with the intent to meet the ground and arena footing needs of multiple competitive horse disciplines. After starting small, the company has steadily grown over the years with a focus on true quality work, customer service, professionalism, and in-depth industry expertise. As Arena Technologies has grown, so have the products and services it offers.
Arena Technologies is the home of the GroundPro arena tool – engineered for unparalleled excellence to properly maintain arena footing. Arena Technologies also provides proven, experienced ground consultation and professional ground services for your facility or event. It is with Randy's extensive expertise and contacts in the sand and gravel business earned over the past 30 years, as well as his knowledge and background in the horse industry, that Arena Technologies has grown to become the one-stop source for all arena footing needs.
You make great horses. The GroundPro arena drag makes great ground. At Arena Technologies, the team believes your arena is the second most important detail of your performance horse operation – after your horses. With the proper footing provided by the GroundPro, your horse will experience the "cushion" that is necessary in every discipline to resist the impact of the hoof to the ground. Less impact to the horse's musculoskeletal system substantially decreases soreness and lameness, allowing you to continue to ride and compete throughout the year with fewer chances of injury.

Knowledge separates responsive riders from reactive ones
Are you a responsive rider or a reactive rider? If you are a reactive rider — responding to the reactions of your horse and are riding whatever he presents whether it be a spook, a buck or a bolt — you likely feel as if you are taken by surprise. Or, you feel at the mercy of what your horse presents and you do what you can to ride through an issue. When you return from a trail ride, you feel lucky to have made it back safely. Your confidence begins to wane, and you become more fearful – trail riding is more stressful than fun. You start eliminating things you used to do, places you used to go to.
The right (Grooming) stuff
A myriad of horse grooming products call for your attention. Here are some of the best.

52 year old man | Pasadena, CA, USA | Seeking women 30-65 within 10 miles
looking forward to meeting you! I've spent my...
looking forward to meeting you! I've spent my entire life in the visual arts. I mostly work with clay, but am versed in bronze, printmaking, painting, welding, etc. my father was a well known artist during the middle of the last century, and my experiences with him had a profound impact on me. I'm constantly dealing with carrying on his legacy, from archiving his work, to photographing it for exhibitions, to meeting with art dealers, etc. I grew up in a pretty amazing world and am honored to be a part of it. I spent my childhood in museums and galleries, looking at every kind of art. Being the son of an Abstract Surrealist was strange, and wonderful! I've worked assisting many great artists. I am presently studio assistant to the most important living American ceramic sculptor. My duties range from the technical aspects such as preparing clays and glazes, which require constant testing. I also assist in the design and of course fabricating his works. If this sounds amazing, you should know that I often work as late as 4am It's hard work! I also teach artists, and teach art to students of all ages, from elementary school to college. Most recently I've taught at Pasadena Polytechnic school, and Pasadena city college. I also photograph artwork for a living. I've photographed for museums and famous artists, Such as my father and many of his contemporaries. I've photographed Rembrandts and Rauchenbergs. But I will gladly shoot for anyone who needs a really good image of his or her work. As a child I spent my summers and any long holidays on my family's ranch in the central valley. I drove the harvest, and herded the sheep, and repaired, the always-breaking machinery. Sometimes my cousins and I would sneak off and swim in our lake. I still like to visit and help my family in any way possible. It's a very beautiful place. I was classically trained (the oboe,) and have a soft spot for classical music and oddly bass instruments (as in the opposite of treble,) as my sister plays the cello and my brother the bassoon. I meditate. The form I practice is called Zazen. I have been "sitting" for many years, and yet realize that I am just a beginner. When my meditation teacher turned 100 years old and for a gift I made him 100 teacups. Those cups are used in the meditation hall to this day for the tea ceremonies. I'm fascinated with the internal landscape, and love to traverse it. Something about watching the breath... it's not to say I'm not well traveled, I've been around the world a few times, and have had many wonderful experiences. We exist in an infinite universe, both internally and externally. I enjoy them both equally, that's all. I have been wealthy and poor, the quality of experience is what counts, and money doesn't change that. Having a bigger carbon footprint didn't bring me joy, opening my heart did.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Museums and art , Wine tasting
Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
i enjoy museums and galleries. I find myself in NYC occasionally. love it there!!
i love the feel of clay in my hands. opening a kiln and seeing a finished sculpture for the first time.
I like to spend time in my studio. My latest personal projects have been large-scale ceramic sculptures (up to 8 feet tall.) I also make miniature sculptures that one could wear. I live and work in the same house I grew up in, located in Pasadena.
I have a mild dyslexia thus don't spend much time reading as it exhausts me. i do enjoy technical books such as those pertaining to ceramic technology and the soul.

Does the 8800 memory bug affect linux also ?
Hi @all,
at the moment i'm really thinking about replacing my 7800gt with a 8800gts.
But i found different kind of this news at different sites:
Yesterday the good folks at The Tech Report reported on an issue affecting a good chunk of GeForce 8800 users, where 3D graphics performance would fall into the toilet at random and wouldn't come back until you restarted the game or tabbed out and back in.
NVIDIA got back to them and said it was a driver issue and that the driver team were working on a fix. Not enough info, Nick! So we did a bit of poking and it turns out to be caused by texture eviction from device memory. Textures aren't being evicted when they should be, causing a loss of available device memory for other resources.
So it stands to reason that if you restart the app or tab out and back in, both of which reset the device which causes a VRAM flush, you'll be good to go again. It's somewhat application dependent and depends on how the app does surface management, but a general fix should be possible for all but the most misbehaved programs.
We're not sure the fix will make it in to a driver this month, as TR noted yesterday, but fingers crossed.
So, is the linux driver also affected by this bug ?
Do you think i can double my fps with the new card ?
Re: Does the 8800 memory bug affect linux also ?
Re: Does the 8800 memory bug affect linux also ?
What do you think i can expect of the card ?
30% more ? This should be the minimum fps increase.. otherwise upgrading would not make much sense ..
My System: Athlon X2 4600, 2GB Ram
Re: Does the 8800 memory bug affect linux also ?
Does really nobody (especially nvidia employees) has info about this ?
Re: Does the 8800 memory bug affect linux also (updated infos!) ?
today i found this news on the net:
Seems the 8800 memory problem is a really tricky one..
But it would be really nice if an nvidia employee would tell us wether the linux driver is affected also or not ?
Cause this would have great impact on my upgrading 7800gt->8800gts plan.
I will not buy this card until i know it is not affected by this bug or they say, yes it is affected an will be fixed until ...
