Helena Kennedy QC:
Lady Kennedy, 59, is one of Britain's leading lawyers and a Labour peer.
A member of the Doughty Street Chambers, London, she worked on the Brighton Bombing and Guildford Four appeals, and represented several battered wives who killed their husbands.
She grew up in Glasgow and studied law at London's Council of Legal Education.
She was called to the Bar in 1972. In 1991 she was appointed a QC.
The following year she published "Eve Was Framed", in which she attacked the treatment of women in the British justice system.
She was awarded the Lifetime Achievement in the Law award from the Women Lawyers' Conference in 1996.
In 2005 she said: "What has changed during my professional life is women's expectations ... The symbol of justice may be a woman but none of us will settle for symbols."
She is married to Iain Hutchison, a surgeon. They have two children, Clio, 22, and Roland, 19. She also has a son, Keir, 26, from her first marriage.
Zaha Hadid:
Zaha Hadid, 59, is a British-Iraqi architect described as one of the world's most influential women.
Her London-based firm, Zaha Hadid Architects, is best known for its designs of striking buildings around Europe.
It also designed the Maggie's cancer centre in Kirkcaldy, Gordon Brown's home town, and the aquatics centre for the 2012 Olympics in London.
However, Hadid is also known for her winning design for the Cardiff Bay Opera House, which was never built.
She has said architecture is a "very tough profession", and harder for women. "I feel we have suffered because we were pioneers - it was always 'the first woman architect to do this'," she said.
Born in Baghdad in 1950, she eventually studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. She established her firm there in 1980.
In 2002 she was awarded a CBE and two years later became the first woman to be awarded the prestigious Pritzker architecture prize.
Last year she was ranked 69th in Forbes magazine's list of the world's 100 most powerful women.
Susan Greenfield:
Lady Greenfield, 58, is a leading neuroscientist, a peer and the director of the Royal Institution.
She was born in Hammersmith, west London in October 1950. She was the first member of her family to go to university, studying at St Hilda's College, Oxford.
She went on to earn a DPhil in pharmacology and became a professor in 1996. Her research focuses on conditions including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
She has also written extensively about the effect of the dramatic growth of electronic media on brains and has created three research and biotechnology companies.
She was awarded a CBE in 2000 and a French Légion d'honneur in 2003.
However the following year, a nomination for a fellowship of the Royal Society was blocked after what was described as a "whispering campaign" against her.
In 2007 she said more should be done to help women work in sciences.
"Women in their late twenties feel that they face a stark choice - children or career," she said.
"Scientists on the whole don't achieve a secure position until their mid-30s, which for women is beyond their ideal time for starting a family."
She was married to Peter Atkins, an Oxford chemistry professor, but they divorced in 2005.

Big Small Talk: July 11-18
The North Sea Jazz Festival, a stylish market bag from Ally Capellino, Malevich's Supremacist art at the Tate and more
The Jazz
Blowing Up a Storm
The stars have to align in a unique configuration in the music universe for Gregory Porter, Al Jarreau, Pharoah Sanders and Stevie Wonder to share a venue with Pharrell Williams, Hall & Oates, Chic and Joss Stone. But if there's a sky big enough to house this diverse galaxy of hit-making musicians, it's the Rotterdam North Sea Jazz Festival. The well-loved festival will expand internationally this November with the first North Sea Jazz Festival in Hong Kong. But before that, it will pose the ultimate conundrum for soccer-loving Jazz fans: Attend the fest or watch the World Cup final? July 11-13; northseajazz.com TG
The Bag
Carry It Off With Style
Has anyone ever used the words "stylish" and "market bag" in the same sentence? Well, now you can. Check out the limited-edition Ally Capellino market bag, designed in collaboration with the Gourmand, in honor of the culture and food journal's fourth issue. The result: a sturdy, timeless navy blue tote with a long crossbody strap and Ms. Capellino's signature leather handles. The waxed cotton exterior contrasts nicely with the bright yellow canvas interior, which features a removable base and pockets perfect for bottles and other shopping finds. See you at the market. £125; allycapellino.co.uk EH
The Exhibition
Permanent Revolutionary
Russian artist Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) lived in interesting times, and moved from Post-Impressionist landscapes and figure paintings, via a sort of tubular Cubism, to the abstract paintings and designs he dubbed Supremacist. Starting July 16, London's Tate Modern holds the first big retrospective in 25 years of this artist who lived through and sympathized with the October Revolution and ended up visiting the Bauhaus. 0483 -1.88 % In 1919, he had begun dabbling in architecture, but in his last years appeared to backslide, painting very stylized figures and, this show argues (with loans from key institutions and museums and its 1.45kg catalog), confronted the Stalinist regime. Until Oct. 26; tate.org.uk PL
The Festival
Ireland's Finest
Gastronomes looking to feast on the best the Emerald Isle has to offer should book their tickets now for the inaugural Letterkenny Home Grown food festival in Donegal. You'll sample the best produce from the region, from farm to coast, while chefs like Paul Rankin, Rachel Allen and Ian Orrcook up a storm and give demonstrations of their culinary know-how. For those who want to churn their own butter or make their own cheese, master classes will also be offered. Liquid lunchers can learn the art of shaking cocktails or how to properly taste wine. July 12-13; homegrownfoodfestival.ie JS
The Tablet
Keyboard Accompaniment
While everyone from supermarkets to no-brand manufacturers are now making tablets, it remains the big names that most purchasers are willing to put their trust in. Asus ASUUY -7.78 % has a solid portable pedigree thanks to its excellent netbooks, and its 2014 range includes the TF103C, an HD Android tablet with built-in Wi-Fi, 3G, a 64-bit Intel INTC 1.14 % Atom processor and a detachable keyboard that turns it from a tablet into something more akin to a netbook. A full HD version is also expected later in the year. £239; asus.com JE

I installed 2 plugins:

Now, the photos don't show on the index page at all! Help!
I installed 2 plugins:
1. WO Smush.it
2. WP Super Cache
on my blog:
Now, the photos don't show on the index page at all! Help!
They both could do it... especially w3tc... but we are going to need more info.
w3tc literally has a tonne of settings that could cause this.
View your source code from in the browser and see what the path to the images points to, vs. what it should be
I set up w3tc with the cdn option, and my path was a little off, so I lost my images
Funny thing is - I don't have the w3tc plugin, since it stopped the sliding images from loading on the top of my page! lol.
Darn - I deleted the plugin and the photos STILL aren't there!
Yeah, in your self-help post, with the missing image
is the URL being pointed to for the image.... must be a bad setting dropping the domain name from your URL
My bad on w3tc, I meant the other cache plugin, sorry!
Wow, no idea.
I just deleted the plugin altogether
Damn plugin - not cool. That w3tc has brought me more trouble than it's worth!
I read w3tc for some reason, and answered appropriate to that plugin.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with the super cache plugin, so I'm not certain what settings could bonk on that one.... or what it could leave behind (if anything) that would need cleaned up
Same thing for the smush plugin... I haven't used that one
I have a fiverr.com dude working on it. Never again will I use that f'ing plugin.
Both of those cache plugins are fantastic really. They can do a lot of good. But... they can be difficult to set up.
I've not seen a situation like what you have though...
And it's hard to tell if it would be related to the cache, or the smush plugin. Since both obviously could affet images, or the URL
It would be sweet if you could report back the issue, let future peeps know what borked

Just in Time for Black Friday: 6 Epic Shopping Trips in the Movies
These six flicks, from "Pretty Woman" to "The Devil Wears Prada," can be your own form of retail therapy.
These six flicks, from "Pretty Woman" to "The Devil Wears Prada," can be your own form of retail therapy.
Movie fandom in the age of pause buttons has given us so much: the ability to repeat snippets of scenes, to enjoy unlimited bathroom breaks, and most especially, to discover tiny editing gaffes and other moviemaking mistakes that you usually don't catch the first time around. Take a closer look at "Pulp Fiction," "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and more.
Some support your rap career, others accept your alcoholism…and some even earn you some quick cash by turning your house into a brothel to earn you some cash. Working girls are more than just streetwalkers in miniskirts and high heels; in fact, at the movies, they often make for some of the most colorful characters onscreen. Here are 10 fictional prostitutes with hearts of gold we'd love to meet someday.
Need a little #inspo? Check out these pearls of wisdom from "Legally Blonde," "Pretty Woman," "Mean Girls," "Factory Girl," "Steel Magnolias," and more.
We have a dream that one day, people will deal with sex rationally and reasonably. Sure, we know that everyone loses it a little when they're head over heels in lust — but we're talking about something much deeper and more ingrained and more screwed up. Like orthodox Jewish men blurring their glasses so they don't have to look at immodest women… or men visiting prostitutes for emotional intimacy… or the U.K. making it illegal to own depictions of sexual acts (like fisting) that are perfectly legal to engage in (just ask Christian Grey).
We have a love-hate relationship with sex research — on the one hand, we think it's incredibly important to study how and why we do (or don't do) what we do when the lights go out. But on the other hand — well, a lot of this research can be a little on the flimsy side. This week, sex research highlights teen sexting, work-life balance and how to fake love.
America's '90s sweetheart, Julia Roberts is entering a sort of grand dame phase, which is interesting as she unexpectedly ages into character-actor territory.
Once the fresh-faced star of dramas and rom-coms—and the loveliest prostitute in ages in 1990's PRETTY WOMAN—Roberts was an appealing ingénue with a smile that brightened any screen and a fascinating ability to laugh and cry at the same time. I always thought she was a good actress—not just a good movie star—and was beside myself when she won the Oscar for 2000's ERIN BROCKOVICH, playing a fiery legal assistant with cleavage and chutzpah.

Whats your favorite pre race meal?
-Half of a bagel
-Oatmeal with honey
-Plain yogurt
-Electrolyte drink
That's a lot of food there Toby.. All for one race? An ultra of some kind I hope.
Shake consisting of soy milk, a banana, frozen fruit, one scoop of protein powder (blueberries, cherries, etc). Schwing.
Yes, yes this does seem excessive, however, I don't eat after 6pm the night before a race so I wake up absolutely starving. I'll usually go with either a half bagel or oatmeal and not both. Plus, I eat plain yogurt (less sugar) out of a larger container so I only end up having 4-6oz. The electrolyte drink, I sip on until 30 minutes before the start of the race. My next ultra is 8/11 -- Mt. Disappointment 50 miler Welcome to our new site, glad to have you!
I can't eat much befor a race. A half a piece of toast with peanut butter does it for me. I usually eat dinner the night before kind of late, and avoid anything spicy.
Thick peanut butter sandwich and cup of coffee, 90 minutes before any marathon. Perhaps some soy milk.

CASSVILLE, Mo. (AP) _ Six officers are under investigation for allegedly using a stun gun to subdue a woman who was banging her
head on a jail floor in Barry County in southwest Missouri.
Three sheriff's deputies and three Cassville police officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the completion of an investigation.
Barry County Sheriff Mick Epperly said he has asked the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate the July 24th incident. The sheriff said the woman had been detained for her own safety after saying she was suicidal and then leaving a Cassville hospital.
She began hitting her head on the jail's concrete floor and one deputy used a Taser gun on her in the presence of two other deputies and three police officers.

The last week or so I have noticed an odd thing. When I turn on my monitor, my browser windows are all half the size they were when I turned it off. Sometimes when I turn it on the taskbar is even half way up the screen for a few moments, as if turning the monitor on and off was forcing it to change the resolution. I use firefox, running windows 7.
The task bar being halfway up the screen is monitor self adjusting, this is normal. Other then that, try restarting.
I suggest you may try this freeware (Autosizer) to force the size of any open program : http://www.southbaypc.com/autosizer/ Hope this help ;)

Rihanna wasn't the only one shining bright like a diamond in Celebuzz's latest batch of celebrity sightings.
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield took a break from their Amazing Spider-Man costumes and changed into more comfy attire: shorts, chambray shirts and sunglasses to enjoy the sticky and hot New York weather. The adorable couple…
Tori Spelling got crafty this week in Thousand Oaks, California with a little help from her family. And no, that didn't include Candy.
Meanwhile, Chris Brown got thisclose to a bunch of lovely ladies in Houston — but hmmm, none of them were Rihanna.

I'm developing a web store with WPEC (WP e-Commerce 220.127.116.11.2) and a theme that supports for WPSEO's breadcrumbs. WPEC has its own breadcrumb support, but it doesn't integrate well with the theme and doesn't appear anywhere else, only in products pages. So, I replaced calls to WPEC's own breadcrumbs (wpsc_output_breadcrumbs) in its template files with calls to WPSEO's ones (yoast_breadcrumb). But, while this works quite nicely, there's a very small problem in that WPSEO's breadcrumbs don't include WPEC's "Products" page.
Here's how it looks like with the built-in wpsc_output_breadcrumbs():
Blog-name > Products > Product-category > Product-sub-category > Product-name
And here's how it looks with yoast_breadcrumb():
Home-name-as-set-in-WPSEO / Product-category / Product-sub-category / Product-name
With the odd result that, if I open the bare "Products" page (it's an actual page), it shows a single slash followed by nothing:
Home-name-as-set-in-WPSEO /
So, is there a good/elegant way yoast_breadcrumb() could be edited so that it'd detect whether WPEC is running and insert WPEC's "Products" page at the appropriate place, so that it'd end up looking like this?
Home-name-as-set-in-WPSEO / Products / Product-category / Product-sub-category / Product-name

Meaning Behind The Name: Tiger Woods & Elin Nordegren's Son Charlie AxelMara Siegler
Tiger and Elin (in happier days) were certainly on the same page when it came to choosing unisex names for their kids. Their first child, daughter Sam Alexis, sports two names that can be assigned to either gender, as does Charlie Axel.
They are also part of a larger trend of naming children with nicknames. They could have easily gone with Charles, but instead opted for Charlie. This is much like how Jamie Lynn Spears went with Maddie instead of Madeleine. Or, how Kate Winslet named her son Joe instead of Joseph.
Charles has always been popular. It's German for "free man," and rose to popularity in France in the middle ages due to Charles the Great. Some more recent references? Charlie's Angels, Charlie Chaplin, and jazz legend Charlie Parker.
Axel — though it may sound a little figure skate-ish in the US – is actually very popular in Scandinavian. The name, which is a biblical word for "father of peace" was chosen by Elin's mother to honor her older brother, who bears that name.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Following the release last week of Capcom's DmC: Devil May Cry, Titan Comics has announced the digital debut today of the prequel comic DmC: Devil May Cry: The Chronicles of Vergil. Yes, it gets two colons.
The first of two installments can be purchased now from comiXology; both will be available in print in May.
A reimagining of the video-game franchise that's sold more than 12 million copies worldwide, DmC is set in a parallel universe where Dante finds himself under attack by demons in a seemingly sentient town called Limbo City. He meets a girl named Kat, who sends him to meet Virgil, the leader of a demon-fighting organization — and Dante's identical twin.

As part of the scholarship package Darya received a $5,000 check towards expenses, which she plans on using at Pace, where she is majoring in Biology this fall.
Darya is also a do-gooding community activist. She's an all-around friend to the animals and volunteers at a shelter; a friend to seniors, she volunteers at an assisted living complex; and a friend of the environment, she helps keep the beaches clean at annual clean-ups. So she's certainly a friend of Standing O.

I found that insert in a copy of the Stranger.
homes for sale there had a median selling price of nearly $150,000 less than the Seattle median.
Crucial Missing Bit of Info: Homes in High Point are apparently smaller. Click on the Avg. price/sqft tab.
Westneat covered this last week.
I just came.
Do you realize how ridiculous this sentence sounds:
"Another thing the high-gloss promotional brochure and web site dont portray is the challenge of integrating a whole new group of (mostly white, middle-class) people into an area that has traditionally been diverse..."
Yes, there is no great threat to diversity than a new group of people.
ECB, thanks for this post. The High Point debacle is really interesting. With local prop values falling into what may be a long downward cycle, those who bought the "green" High Point market-rate housing at the top will be looking for scapegoats to blame as their home values start dipping lower than their mortgage balance. Oo, look at the trashy neighbors, it's their fault, etc.
Sounds like Columbia city right before the newer, higher income residents moved in back in the early and mid 90's. Gentrification starts somewhere, sure you can make it look nicer as it was in Columbia city with a more liberal crowd, who moved in with the, " I want to live in a diverse neighborhood" rap, but the result is the same, lower income and darker people get sent somewhere else like Skyway, Federal Way and Highpoint. Highpoint is more blatant, there it begins with the HOPE 6 housing plan which brings high end home owners in Columbia city it began with artsy types who were then followed by the fleece wearing crowd. Its economics. Lower housing prices bring people from other neighborhoods who cant afford to buy in places where they grew up or live and party in. Georgetown and Highpoint were the last places with affordable housing. Georgetown is deep into gentrification, Highpoint doesnt need luck with gentrification, the housing market will drive new residents there.
I thought she was a redhead.
Ericqa, YOU get to choose where you buy/rent/squat - your personal living space. You can make your own choices, completely yours.
Please allow others the same choices. And, really, really, what is the news value??.
Are you guys on a daily quota to post stuff on Slog?
This is the bottom of non-news.
SeMe@ 7:
Wrong, sorry. Columbia City always has had a business district to build around. High Point doesn't.
It could have one eventually, around 35th and Morgan. But it doesn't.
thats a good point ivan, though i wouldnt call what use to be on rainier as a business district, i beleive the infrastructure was there in terms of historic buildings so i think it helped speed that up, at least it did for the east side of rainier, for you can see the old neighborhood which was anchored by angies did not build as fast and the busy bee remains. most of the old businesess died quickly until the new crop of residents started moving in. i do think that the housing market is a lot worse for first time homebuyers than it was back then so thats why i think it will bring homebuyers to the area, though i think youre right about the business district.
I've lived two blocks away from High Point for 12 years--and the neighborhood ain't "a part of Southwest Seattle that has resisted gentrification". It was a sadly run down public housing project that was made up of sub-standard structures originally built to temporarily house WW2 Boeing factory workers. Nor was the neighborhood "diverse"--east of 35th SW, mostly poor, mostly people of color, many immigrants; west of 35th SW, white, middle class. Except for within the "project" the neighborhood has been rapidly gentrifying, just like everywhere else in Seattle.
It is also not a coincidence that the Mini-mart on 35th SW and Morgan St SW was the only store I've seen in West Seattle that sold crack vials, glass pipes, and miniature zip-lock baggies right at the counter.
Folks like ECB might get mad when whitey moves in and ruins a perfectly good slum by demanding civil behavior in the streets, but there's no way I can't see the redevelopment at High Point as anything but a good thing for the whole neighborhood.
If the community is as bad as you say, ECB, how do you propose they fix it? Obviously you disagree with this approach.
I'd be interested to hear your ideas, instead of your senseless ridiculing.
ECB said:
"Most people dont think of High Point, a landlocked chunk West Seattle just north of Seattles southern limit that was once dominated by subsidized low-income housing"
Actually, it's about 4 miles north of the city's southern limit. Golly, Erica, you really do have this Capitol Hill centric mindset, don't you. I actually live about a mile further south than High Point and most folks would call Lincoln Park an integral element of the city of Seattle. Most folks, but not you, apparently. Why don't you visit the place, it's actually being built as a sustainable community with non-polluting streets where water runs into swales. Maybe the next time you're trapped on a West Seattle-bound bus you can actually explore part of the city you live in.
It's a 15 minute walk from High Point to Morgan Junction - which IS a business district. It's also a 10 minute walk from High Point to Camp Long. It's also got the 128 and 21 bus routes which border the neighborhood. It's also got way better views of the city and Cascades than I'll bet you have.
OMG! Music that's not Norah Jones (though only her first album, her others were too upbeat)! Shocking!
Jesus, people. If you want boring-ass white bread housing, come on out to Issaquah. We're wallowing in it here. There's even crappy bus service so you can justify driving your SUV everywhere.
While I understand that it sucks to live in a place where there is an active drug problem, instead of constantly bitching about it and the people who look different than you or are in a different income bracket, how about reaching out to the neighborhood and working to change that? I'm sure the people listening to "the sweet sounds of Baghdad" aren't any more fans of crack dealers than you are.
Damn it Erica, quit letting facts get in the way of your agenda!
>>"...many a weekend afternoon I'll be sitting in my living room with the window open listening to the sweet sounds of Baghdad"
See, when I first read this I assumed they meant they were hearing automatic gunfire and explosions all the time. But music? Count your blessings, whitebread.
I feel like I know that woman from somewhere. Or maybe I just really, really want to.
ECB also said:
"Most people probably think of it as either (uncharitably) one of Seattles last remaining ghettoes or (more charitably) a part of Southwest Seattle that has resisted gentrification. It has a failing elementary school; a high crime rate;"
check the crime statistics for yourself - High Point doesn't seem to have a particularly high crime rate:
appears to be about the same crime rate as Broadway area.
What the fuck is "Westneat"?
Erica, you should buy one of the condos and show the other white people the right way to be 'down with' those who have an ethnicity.
chas @14 has a good point.
I once helped buy a bike in High Point - nice area. Not suprised it's been more developed.
Westneat is a columnist at one of the dailies - think it's the PI.
It sounds like you need to visit like a previous poster mentioned.
I live a few miles away and I drive through there often because I LOVE what is happening there, a really, really great neighborhood community blossoming.
Please check it out, it is not that far away, even by bike!
She said most people "probably think" of it having a high crime rate. Which can be true at the same time that it does not have a high crime rate.
Get some reading comprehension.
Uh, High Point is in the city of Seattle. Really. Even if it IS West Seattle.
Unfortunate that ECB parroted the Times' verbiage and overrated the college boy who typed the racist rant as having a 'community blog.' The site was abandoned for months earlier this year until shortly before this idiotic little whine that got far more attention than warranted. No updates ever since, this 'blog' appears to be growing dandelions again.
I've lived near HighPoint for 21 years. It was the lower colon of Seattle with lots of Santorum splashing out everywhere. The "ghetto chil'rens" kept selling drugs and their sisters at all hours of the day and night. Those sweet dear poeple that tried to plant gardens and fix things up (gentrify thier yards not ghettoizing them) where barred from doing so. Gheeezuz Phuking Keerist it's a whole new place now. Better, nicer, cleaner, and like in the past multi-ethnic, multi-gender, multi-orientation, multi-income, multi-spending, multi-....
I love how ECB is a suddenly an expert on life in the Westside only two months after claiming that West Seattle was not part of the City of Seattle.
Now she's trying to convince us that High Point is destined to fail, based on the rantings of one person's outdated blog and an advertising brochure. Ace reporting, as usual.
@17: Yeah, I thought machine guns, too.... until they started bitching about the Islamic music. Unless Islamic music means machine guns?
ECB has her foot in her mouth here, for sure. But she's still awesome. Unlike Annie Wagner. Who is a bitch.
I love how ECB is a suddenly an expert on life in the Westside only two months after claiming that West Seattle was not part of the City of Seattle.
She rode the bus over here to West Seattle that day, by accident, and was probably smitten by the charms of the area and is sneaking over here regularly now.
Her foot being always in her mouth is what makes ECB so awesome.
@30. Hi, Poe. No one's bitchier than thee.
It wasn't that many years ago Columbia City had a Penneys AND a bowling alley. Their business district never really died - it faded for a decade or so.
High Point was always more dependent on White Center for its kicks. And White Center has always been mostly bars.
For comparison, look to Holly Park. How has it fared since it's makeover?
Hmmm...well played, murderer!!
I know EXACTLY what you were doing last night! I'm callin' the SPD. You'll hear from them in four to six business days.
Yeah, I can't believe they built all those "breathe-easy" homes for people with Asthma (http://www.thehighpoint.com/breatheasy.html) and had the gall to build some more homes that weren't Condos. How crappy. I wish developers would tear down some nice houses in West Seattle and put up Condos so we could be more like The Hill.
And that brand new library doesn't have hardly any homeless, crazy or smelly people hanging out in it all day like the Capital Hill Library.
Yeah, fuck High Point. I liked it better when it was all WW2-era shacks full of poor people. Now that those are all gone, my 1920's house 10 blocks away that I bought in 2003 has only doubled in resale value. I wish those eyesores were still there so I could have have only appreciated a few thousand dollars.
@9 - You're right. She has totally robbed you of your ability to think for yourself. Goddamn it, Erica!
I also live just blocks from the new High Point, and I don't have a freakin' clue what ECB is talking about.
I bought my house about two years before they started Phase I when this was one of the last affordable areas left in the city. We had five gang-related murders in two years, including a 14 year-old boy who was shot to death on my block.
Now, the builders down there are selling out of $400,000 and $500,000 houses; property values have doubled. Crime has dropped to the city average. I walk my dogs through there all the time and it seems fairly well integrated between the market rate housing and the subsidized housing; everyone seems relaxed and happy. The buildings are all high density--the kind the Stranger allegedly advocates--and people have traveled from all over the US to examine the green design, which includes semi-porous sidewalks and natural drainage, among many other features.
The neighborhood is vital, humming and a complete 180 from when I first moved here. Plus we're only 10 minutes from the Junction, Downtown and Alki Beach.
If this is supposed some kind of indictment of the new neighborhood--as if it were somehow better before(!)-- then not only do you not know what you're talking about, you're also totally BONKERS!!
the problem is not the poor people. it is the stupid people moving in trying to "civilize" the natives. When money is scarce, what do you think people are going to do? just roll over and die? it doesn't work that way. Poverty creates sub-economies that exist beneath the eye of outsiders. When outsiders move in, the natives are not going to just say "oh, these people are obviously better than us, lets just change." if you buy in highpoint, you get what you get. buying there and getting mad when you get what you pay for is like going to the dollar store, buying some fake fruit loops, then complaining that they don't taste like real fruit loops. you buy cheap shit, you get problems.
The words in quotes ("green," "vibrant") must be implying something. Could they be implying that people are trying to live up to the very ideals that ECB espouses, but are falling short? How dare they. They are obviously entitled to more derision than Hummer-driving Republicans.
step 1: people in neighborhood sick of gang violence
step 2: ...?
step 3: thinly veiled racism
oh yeah....who's really stupid, the "ghetto children" who at a very young age have a masters degree level of intelligence in supply and demand economics or the stupid middle aged idiots who say "hey, these houses are so much cheaper then other houses in seattle, lets buy honey!" that 14 year old "ghetto chilen" would be smart enough to know that cheap shit is cheap for a reason.
I live nearby, but in the traditionally white middle class part of town.
Phew. God, it's such a relief to come out.
Anyway. I go to the (relatively new) High Point Seattle Public Library fairly often, and it's one of the greatest places in the city to see real, actual, big-city(tm) diversity(tm) in action. You know, the kind of shit The Stranger usually writes about with such predictable approval.
There's, like, teenage E. African girls in chador doing their homework after school and getting books. There's older Vietnamese men checking out the VNmese book section. There's whitey with a laptop.
The Capitol Hill library? Older whitey, younger whitey, homeless whitey. Gay whitey, lesbian whitey. Clean whitey, smelly whitey.
Highpoint is the next Hunts Point. I know there is a saying about suckers but I can't remember what it is.
The first place I lived in Seattle when I moved here more than 20 years ago was at a extended stay apartment house right across the street from from High Point. I rented it over the phone, sight unseen. When I landed at the airport and told the cab driver the address, he said, "Oh, that's right by High Point Housing Project!" I was apprehensive because the only housing projects I'd been exposed to were pretty dangerous places.
It wasn't totally spooky, but it was loud and undeniably depressing, there were lots of little crack bottles scattered about the street, and going out at night meant certain safeguards had to be taken. I was fine with it for a little more than a year until I was walking to my bus stop at around 10 PM during the summer, going to work, and all of a sudden there was a knife at my throat and a demand for $20. I thought I was a goner. I'm not sure the attacker lived at High Point, but I am sure one of the residents called the police, because they arrived about two minutes later - out of nowhere - and the guy with the knife disappeared with a blur - the police, guns drawn, in pursuit.
I moved within the week. I carried a lot of animosity toward High Point for a long time thereafter. I was also ready with some swift generalizations about the its population saying things like, "They need to raze the place and start over."
What they've done isn't exactly what I had in mind. I never wanted poor people to lose their homes. High Point was little more than a series of prefab duplexes raised above ground by concrete blocks. It was minimal shelter. It could be said that it's the kind of place that breeds - among other things - contempt. The website pics of the new development look not unlike something out of Celebration, Florida. Soulless gentrification.
I never want to forget the kindness of the low-income resident who came to my aid without thanks.
And by the way, the West Seattle Junction is more than a 10 minute bus ride. You either have to negotiate a steep hill down to California and catch a bus there or catch a bus on 35th and transfer at Alaska. Either option takes probably a half hour or more. West Seattle is one of those communities where it's hard to be without a car and depending on buses makes for frequent unhappiness. It's why I moved downtown. Remember the Blizzard of '91? Three days, no buses. Later in the week, one or two buses a day, but no one ever knew when they were coming.
seattle is like Brazil. It tries to beautify its ghettos by painting them up and then pretend that the people there don't exist. other cities have tough neighborhoods and everybody knows where they are. this city, slick hustlers try to pretty them up and then get suckers to pay top dollar to move there. They say Seattle is a city that has no real streets or ghetto but the only reason is that this city denies the existence of the people who live in ghettoes and keeps making them move somewhere else. Seattles name should be changed from the emerald city to the "ghetto on wheels" since the streets here move every other year to a new place. I mean look at this shit....the AVE...university way was a street....then they cleaned it up and had the pigs patrol it extra until all the street people moved downtown. High point was a street... then the city started prettying it up and the new people there are like "oh my god....I didn't know Seattle had people like this in it!" Yeah....they will leave...go somewhere else like Fed Way which is gonna be the new street.....for a few years....until the city paints it up and moves the street somewhere else. Seattle needs to quit fucking around, admit to itself that it DOES have a street population and give them a stable part of town to be in. All of this "broom sweeping the dirt around" shit don't do anything other than move the dirt somewhere else. Cali has compton and watts and Oaktown. New york has the bronx. Atlanta has the trap. the cities have established places for street people to be in. Seattle just goes "these people don't REALLY exist, lets just sweep them somewhere else every 5 years and pretend they don't exist.
"Three days, no buses. Later in the week, one or two buses a day, but no one ever knew when they were coming."
I would probably be so angry I would stop working. Completely.
yeah, exactly. this city seems to think that it can do what no other city in america has done which is have no Streets. THey kick niggas out of the CD, out of high point, out of Hilltop, out of University way. The EAst african posse used to be there and was kicked out. in la and other cities, there a lot of cops kicking niggas around such but they don't keep trying to actually MOVE us to other parts of the city every other year. I mean....this is some BS. every time we get somewhere, settle down....some minivan with 5 kids, and a little woman and a small poodle wearing a sweater and a dude move next door which is ok and cool. but...THEN they go....we don't like these guys living next to us.....we want them to move. so then we have to move...and do it all over again. Man.....do my armpits smell or something?
When I first moved to Seattle in 1997 I rented at the Westview Apts (now called something else) at 35th and Morgan and lived there for about a year and a half. I tried getting a place in a hip part of town but no can do, not without a job. Anyway, it wasn't all that bad. But I was waiting for the bus one weekend and some old white lady started complaining about the "arabs" in the neighborhood. I wonder if she posted that comment about Baghdad on the blog.
One of my favorite characters was an Asian kid, maybe 20, who had a tattoo that read "playboy devil" on one of his forearms. He seemed to always be high and would just talk to you about nothing. I used to see him downtown for years but not much after 2000 or so. Anybody know this guy or have any idea what became of him.
Then there was the obese teenage boy who smelled like a corpse. Literally - sometimes he'd get on the 21 and you'd have to sit all the way in the back to get away from his stench. It wasn't like piss or dirt, it was like death. He lived in a highrise that I think is the same place Bauhaus @ 45 was talking about. My polling place was in that building, over on 34th SW.
Actually, there was the time some guys were having an argument outside my window and when my wife looked to see what was going on the guy yelled "whachoo lookin at cracker!" Priceless.
BTW, Bauhaus, there is (or was) a direct bus link, the 128, that goes down Morgan to California and up to the Junction and ends at Admiral. That bus takes only 10 minutes from 35th and Morgan to Alaska and California.
We eventually left for the greener pastures of 103rd and Aurora in North Seattle. Good times...
Well what the hell do you want people to do? Lots of folks outside of Seattle proper want to live in city limits but can't afford to buy in Greenwood, Ballard or even Beacon Hill anymore. Where do you go? You go where the prices are lower and get your damn foot in the door.
#48, the east african posse were crack/arms dealers and violent thugs. nobody needs to deal with that.
if any of you have actually BEEN to The Ave lately you would see that there are plenty of black people there. sure some of them are loitering and some of them sell drugs (bank of america is the place if you want crack), but it's not nearly as bad as when the east african posse were around.
the worst part of the ave is the heckling. this happens from any number of people, but it's hardly ever the black kids doing it in my experience. i don't usually get heckled, but my girlfriend sure does. it's almost always some tweaked out white guy who's standing outside of rite aid or jack in the box. really annoying shit.
@49 Oh, right. I do remember that route, but it was hourly and I never used it because it was inconvenient. I'd wind up walking down Morgan or just walking period instead of waiting an hour.
And my apartment house was three floors and a basement on 34th and Graham. It was a furnished, short-term lease place that got so dilapidated and uncared for that the owners, I heard, sold it to the state for halfway housing used by mental health patients. Don't quote me. I was gone by then.
The housing in most of Issaquah (East Gate, Squak Mtn, Downtown, Mirrormont, Klahanie) isn't any more "white bread" than West Seattle, Magnolia, or Greenwood.
I can walk from my house to shopping, libraries, (community) theater, parks, etc. We have outstanding Thai, Indian, Chinese, brewhouse, and other cuisines. Though there is a "chain store area", it's kept away from downtown so the city center is filled with locally owned businesses. I know city people have no interest in living here, but do you really have to diss the town on the Slog?
I will say Issaquah Highlands and Talus are the work of the devil, though.
Good job, Erica.
You got a rousing response - fun and educational. Visit me at my house sometime and see a 270 degree out to the horizon view - only thing I can't see is downtown and CapHill/FirstHill area. Granted, I can't roll out of bed and into a morass of eclectic shops. Tradeoffs.
Nice attempt, ECB, but neighborhood reporting works better when you visit the neighborhood in question and make the effort to talk to somebody who actually lives there. Just a thought.
I moved into the Delridge neighborhood about a year and a half ago. Now while I agree that the advertising for the High Point community might be a little misleading as far as distance to the nearest shops, Erica's use of one person's blog as proof that all newcomers are scared stiff of gangs, drug users, and Islamic music is very poor reporting.
I, as well as the rest of my neighbors knew where we were moving, true I didn't move into the High Point community, but we did think about it. I was impressed that the project included low income housing in the conversion, and I like the diversity. Yes there is still gang activity, but that comes with the territory. Erica should think about talking to some of the people in the neighborhood, before shooting from the hip and totally missing the mark.
This is typical of the Stranger to use their slog to pimp out articles they know would get flak if it was published under the papers real name.
Get it right next time Erica.
It never fails to amuse me, in a certain mordant fashion, when people freak out about how scary High Point is. I grew up in High Point, back in the early 60's when it was all still government housing. Sure, that was pre-crack and pre-meth, but there were still knives and guns and people willing to use them. Mostly there were broken bottles and people only too happy to break them over your head. There were also a hell of a lot of decent working folks just trying to get on with their lives and raise a family, just like everywhere else, but with maybe less disposable income and less shit to steal.

Summer tomato diseases and problems
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 1:00 AM
The phone is ringing! There is a tomato plant in trouble somewhere! The number one vegetable for home gardens is under attack.
In spite of progress that has been made with disease resistance, tomatoes are still are plagued with many diseases. And when gardeners grow the older, tastier varieties that do not have any disease resistance, problems only get bigger. Insects and non-disease problems are also adding to the difficulties.
Following is a short summary of tomato diseases and other common problems seen in home garden tomatoes and how to reduce their impact.
Tomato leaf curl is a physiological disorder related to the hot, dry weather. This condition involves an initial upward cupping of the leaves, followed by an inward roll. In severe cases, the leaves roll up until the leaflets overlap. Symptomatic leaves become thickened and leathery. Symptoms typically appear first in lower leaves but may spread to the entire plant, depending on the severity of the condition.
Leaf roll is more commonly associated with indeterminate varieties of tomato, such as "Early Girl" and "Big Boy", rather than determinant types such as "Celebrity." In most cases, the condition is temporary and will have little or no affect on plant growth or yield.
Aphids and whiteflies are two insect pests showing up together this year. Aphids are small soft-bodied insects that can be red, green, or black in color. Whiteflies are very small (1/16 inch long) and white in color and when you bump a plant that they are on; they fly.
Both are sucking insects that like the nice juicy tomato plants. These insects are controlled by regular sprays of malathion insecticide.
Blossom-end rot (BER) is familiar to anyone who has ever grown a tomato. BER is characterized by a leathery, brown, or black spot on the bottom of the fruit. It generally occurs on the first fruit cluster.
BER is a physiological problem associated with soil calcium and watering practices. BER is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing fruit that causes the end of the fruit to die creating the characteristic spot.
What can you do to prevent it? Make sure soil calcium levels are okay by getting a soil test. The next most important control measure is to maintain optimum soil moisture. When tomatoes experience the slightest bit of drought, BER may result. Using mulches will usually significantly decrease BER.
Tomato spotted wilt virus has been the ruin of many tomato patches. The disease, carried by thrips, begins with dark spots that form on leaves and spread to stems, forming cankers.
The growing tips die back and the growth of the plant is stunted. Additional symptoms of the disease include cupping and rolling of the leaves that usually turn purple along the veins. There is no treatment for the infected plants and they should be discarded.
If the fruit are set prior to infection, they may be distorted or develop blotchy orange ring spots as they ripen.
Tomato varieties such as "BHN 444" (aka "Southern Star"), "BHN 644", "Amelia", "Top Gun, and "Crista" are resistant to the spotted wilt virus. If you did not use a resistant variety, a possible retro-prevention is to put aluminum kitchen foil on the ground around your tomato plants.
The reflected light often confuses the thrips and keeps them from landing on and infecting the plants. Weekly spraying of malathion insecticide will also slow the spread of the thrips.
Just about every tomato plant grown in Mississippi has the potential to become infected with early blight. Symptoms of early blight include dark brown, irregular spots on the lowest, oldest leaves.
As spots mature, they develop concentric rings, usually surrounded by a yellowish area. Early blight will infect leaves, stems, and fruits. This disease can be controlled by weekly applications of fungicides containing chlorothalonil or maneb.
This is only a partial list of diseases and problems that attack tomatoes. So, do you still want to grow tomatoes? If so, do it right. Choose varieties that are resistant to some of the diseases.
Look for the letters V, F, N, or TMV after the variety name or state they are resistant to the spotted wilt virus resistance. Plant on silver colored mulch. Spray regularly for insects and fungal diseases. Maintain soil moisture and fertility.
Sounds like a lot of work, but when you put that first vine-ripened tomato of the summer in your mouth all that is forgotten.
You also will be the envy of your neighbors who did not give 100 percent in their tomato growing and now have to come to you for those wonderful summer fruits.
It is not too late to get homegrown tomatoes this year; fall planting in just around the corner.

Always a highlight of our year we've just completed our Annual Meeting for 2012.
Key announcements:
- Xero now has 100,000 paying customers. Our first 50,000 took 5 years to achieve, our second 50,000 was achieved in 10 months.
- Annualised committed monthly revenue has grown to $34.5 million. That compares with full year revenue to the end of March of just over $19m. Subscription models are a wonderful thing.
- We are considering a dual listing on the ASX to make it easier for Australian partners and customers to purchase shares.
You can read the full release and view the Annual Meeting presentation here: Xero Annual Meeting 2012
Australian MD Chris Ridd was in town for our board meeting today and it was great to hear first hand how Australia is going as well as updates on NZ, UK and the USA.
It's good that our shareholders understand our growth strategy and are allowing us to continue our growth program. We all want to get to break even as soon as we can but I think there is comfort we are responsibly growing the business and investing now to build a substantial long term company.
As one of the few public early stage SaaS companies we know our numbers are useful to others so please feel free to ask questions.
As always thank you to our shareholders for giving us the opportunity to build a great company and congratulations to all staff who have worked hard to deliver these results.

Congratulations on hitting 100k!
We're extremely proud to be along for the ride and are looking forward to streamlining small businesses with Xero as the key component.
I hear our video got a plug from the site. I trust is was well received and look forward to the next 100k in some short months from now.
The team @ Interactive
Great news, gotta love momentum! Dual listing is fantastic too, any idea on the time frame?
That's a great milestone – well on your way to the first 1,000,000. I've been a customer since the early beta days, can't believe that was over 5 years ago.
Well done on 100,000 customers. What an amazing achievement. Excited to hear about dual listing too!
Well done on a great result. Plenty more growth to go – exciting times!
Congratulations on getting 100,000 customers. I hope you will update us when you get 200,000 customers.
Congratulations on the 6 digit milestone! It doesn't feel like it was that long ago that Xero announced it had surpassed 500 paying customers; probably because that was only just over 4 years ago. Reaching 1,000,000 customers in the next 5 years seems very achievable.
Congratulations guys on getting to 100,000 customers! Great news!
Awesome work as always Xero. It's great to see so many people loving the great work you are doing. Here's to the next 100k 🙂
Congrats on the subscriber milestone. I hope you do go ahead with dual listing.
At this rate Xero will pass QuickBooks Online in paying subs within the next year. Look forward to that milestone! Vision + Scalability + Clear channel strategy + App ecosystem + strong community … Potent mix, especially if the last factor is never taken for granted.
Interesting phase coming up as Xero begins to cross the chasm from Innovators and Early Adopters into the Early Majority, seeing as usually messaging needs to change to cross the chasm as the buying criteria are different in the middle of the bell curve. I'm fascinated to watch this as Xero evolves.
Awesome work Xero – 100,000 users now, 1 million users pretty soon I think! I'm scared to think what we'd be doing now if Xero didn't exist. Thank you Xero for changing the Accounting landscape – and for having a real vision for the future!
100% in 10 months? I will be up by 155% this MONTH! I should easily do 100%+ next month. Once we pass our 10/15 extended tax due date, we will really push.
Thanks for making that possible, with much lower costs for software, hosting and a largely outsourced staff. Of course, the best features are not posting perhaps 90% of entries, being always up to date and looking forward to my first quiet tax season in 50 years.
Xero might be able to grow much faster. However, other CPAs may be doing what I am in terms of only publicizing Xero to end users (not other CPAs). It is an terrific competitive advantage.
By the way, please always publicize numbers for paid customers and unpaid users (and why).
Just for the record, we only ever publish our paying business customer number. As a public company we have to disclose revenue and analysts will always do the ARPU calculation so our number has to be accurate.
As we are one of the few public companies in this area and 'pure play' cloud we know our numbers our useful to see how the industry is going.
We would really like to see Intuit publish their actual active paying customer numbers and QBO specific subscription revenue which is obfuscated in their financials by grouping it with Quickbooks desktop maintenance fees (yes really) and websites etc.
FMS service and other revenue is derived primarily from
QuickBooks Online; QuickBooks support plans; Intuit Websites, which provides website design and hosting services for small and mediumsized
businesses; QuickBase; and royalties from small business online services
Cloud accounting is now a legitimate part of the industry and we think Intuit owes it to the accounting industry to disclose how they are doing as the industry makes investment decisions over the next year.
Time to update your Wikipedia profile for Board changes and recent successes!

I've got a handful of Macs on my home network, and shell access to only one of them from the outside. How can I figure out what IP address of the other machines are?
If you don't have further information on which computer is which, you can gain a little more information by identifying the manufacturers of the network cards through MAC address lookup.
Assuming all the other machines are in the same broadcast domain as the one to which you have access, pinging the broadcast address will often suffice. It will not find machines that are asleep, nor those configured to not respond to pings, nor those that will respond to pings but not to broadcast pings.
The first and last response will almost always be your local machine. The
You might also try the all-ones broadcast address:
This example shows less cruft. All the
You could try using
Maybe it's a bit of overkill but you could use nmap
A quick CLI one liner to step through /24 subnet ping each IP address. Quick and kind of dirty, but it works.
Explanation: To change the range, change x=1 to x=130, or whatever you want to start at, and 254 to the end, say 135.
ping -c 3 is send three pings. To change the number of pings change the 3 to something else, and to change the address range, change the 192.168.0 to something else.
Your Macs all have hostnames so you shouldn't need to know IP addresses. Instead you'll just use the hostname.
The hostnames are based on whatever name you've given the computer. So if the computer is named "Jon's Mac" the hostname you'll use is something like "jons-mac.local".
If you don't already know your computers' hostnames then you can find out a computer's hostnames in the sharing preferences on that computer, or you can find out the hostnames of other computers on the network using the dns-sd command. This command uses Bonjour to let you browse network services; you'll only find computers that are actually advertising some network service (which, by and large, are the only ones you care about).
If you want to connect to some computer providing ssh, you can find the available computers using:
In general you can search for hosts providing particular services using the service names: http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html
The Bonjour protocol also provides the ability to browse for all services, not just particular ones. You can do this by browsing for the special service
If you know the name of the other computers in the LAN, the simplest way is to ping them:
This may depend on your local router or DHCP server. If the bare hostname doesn't work, try appending .local (ie, ping hostname.local).
Obviously this doesn't work well for large LANs or people with poor memories.
If you're using Macs, (assuming 10.5 or greater,) just enable VNC for desktop access and use Flame.app.
It's a really nice little utility that gives you exactly what you need, really quickly. The only thing is that you would have to go farther than SSH.
For Windows:
1) Write: for /L %I in (1,1,254) DO ping -w 30 -n 1 168.29.0.%I This will ping all addresses in your local network
2) Then write: arp -a This will give you all addresses that answered

Ford Named Most Improved Carmaker by Consumer Reports
Ford Motor Co. improved the most since last year in Consumer Reports's annual automaker rankings, bolstered by reliability for resale value, the magazine said.
Ford received 67 points out of 100, according to results released today at the National Press Club in Washington. It didn't provide a year-earlier comparison. Consumer Reports commended the manufacturer for the amount of room inside its vehicles, and for how they accelerate and ride.
The company's Mustang was the No. 1 sports-car pick, placing a U.S. manufacturer at the top of that list for the first time in six years. Top picks in other categories include Honda Motor Co.'s Fit for the new category of budget cars, Hyundai Motor Co.'s Elantra for small cars and Nissan Motor Co.'s Altima for family sedans for the second year.
"Ford has really developed Mustang into a well-designed car," Rik Paul, the magazine's auto editor, said at a press conference. "It's not only a good sports car, but it's a good daily drive."
Ford, based in Dearborn, Michigan, is the only major U.S. automaker that didn't receive a government bailout. It ranked fifth overall following Honda, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd's Subaru unit, Toyota Motor Corp. and Volvo Cars, the Swedish automaker that Ford sold to China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. last year.
Ford's sales analyst George Pipas said the automaker has commanded higher prices for its vehicles so far this year, possibly at the cost of market share. The automaker has been selling vehicles for $700 to $800 more than a year earlier as industrywide prices have remained unchanged, he said, saying it's a "good bet" Ford has lost U.S. market share by not competing on price.
Prius, RAV4
Toyota, which last week recalled 2.17 million vehicles for floor mats that may jam accelerator pedals, claimed three of the 10 top picks, the most of any automaker. Toyota's RAV4 is the top small sport-utility vehicle, its Prius is the top environmentally friendly car for the eighth consecutive year, and its Sienna is the top family hauler.
Toyota's Prius scored the best for fuel economy at an average 44 miles per gallon. Five vehicles -- the Cadillac Escalade, the Ford Expedition EL Eddie Bauer, the Lincoln Navigator Ultimate, the Nissan Armada SV and the Nissan Titan SV -- tied for the worst with 13 mpg.
The rankings by Yonkers, New York-based Consumer Reports influence car buyers and are published in the magazine's annual auto issue.
Consumer Reports, published by Consumers Union, uses vehicle owner reliability surveys from 1.3 million people, government and insurance-industry crash tests and its own evaluations of how vehicles function for its ratings.
Consumer Reports Top 10 Vehicles By Category: Budget Car: Honda Fit Small Car: Hyundai Elantra Family Sedan: Nissan Altima Small SUV: Toyota RAV4 Green Car: Toyota Prius Family SUV: Kia Sorento Sporty Car: Ford Mustang Sports Sedan: Infiniti G37 Family Hauler: Toyota Sienna Pickup Truck: Chevrolet Avalanche Highest and lowest ratings in Consumer Reports' road tests, by category: Full-sized pickups: Best: Chevrolet Avalanche LT.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2011
This term's information was last refreshed on 12 MAY 2015 14:52:56.
Courses taught by Sanford Kwinter
03431: A Science of the Environment (DES 0343100)
Architecture, Landscape Architecture
Lecture - 4 credits
Thursday 10:00 - 1:00 Gund 109
Sanford Kwinter
Course Description
The science of ecology purports to study life as the sum of interactions between organisms and their natural environment. The term 'natural' has in recent decades undergone significant revision, in both biological and philosophical circles, increasingly to include a great many aspects of human cultural process and history. This course will be an approach toward the ideal of a 'total ecology', at once an incorporation of 'deep ecology', behavioral ecology and evolutionary theory as a discipline intended to transform and cultivate an entirely new way of understanding the human physical and cultural relationship to the natural world. As 'sustainability' theories and ethics rise to prominence in the contemporary economic and historical world, conceived largely in terms of remedial and technological intervention, the more foundational questions and forms of knowledge associated with true ecological thinking have paradoxically fallen by the wayside. This course seeks to recover, and in many ways reinvent, the habits of mind in which naturalism once played a central role in human life and culture. This course will focus in considerable detail on early human evolution and the early (Pleistocene) stone age (economics, art, social organization, knowledge systems, etc.), on the 'knowledge systems' employed within plant and animal milieus to at once create, exploit and stabilize the relationship to their milieus as well as on the forms that they both create and take on to maximize this stability. Geological, climactic, biotic, technological, aesthetic and even psychic factors will be studied as contributors to a 'total' ecological posture toward the environment. Human 'being' will be shown to be a direct and inseparable product of the landscape in which the human type arose and to which it will need once again to return with effective understanding, if it wishes to evade the catastrophes that current science predicts.
09305: Master of Design Studies Final Project (ADV 0930500)
Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning and Design
Independent Study - 0 credits
Neil Brenner, Giuliana Bruno, K. Michael Hays, Sanford Kwinter, Erika Naginski, Jeffrey Schnapp, Krzysztof Wodiczko
Course Description
The Final Project will consist of a theoretical/position component, and of a practical/experimental component. The scope of each of the two components will be determined according to the student's preference, and considering the specific character of the project in consultation with the area coordinator and the advisor. In exceptional cases the final project may be solely based on (expanded in scope and ambition) a theoretical component. A theoretical, written component is required for all final projects. The final project is equivalent to 8 units of courseworkTheoretical/Position component-A written document presenting the original contribution to, and original argument for your artistic/design/research project defended within the context of current discourses in relevant disciplinary fields. The theoretical argument must present the original methodology of the project and position it in relation to:-Relevant present day artistic and design practices and their specific methodologies-Relevant theoretical and critical discourses (including your elaborations on relevant "pro" and "contra" positions)-The relevant historical tradition Practical/Experimental componentThis component involves an original artistic/design project conceived, developed and presented as a public presentation, exhibition, installation, performance, action, and intervention in a physical or/and electronic space. The public presentation is a crucial part of the final project and is required. The Final Project's printed presentation as publishable document (that contains the theoretical argument and a graphic and textual presentation of the practical/experimental component)is also required.


text: I just installed the plugin, and everything is working right from box. I'm loving it so far. But I'm having a little problem showing different folder on a page. I used the shortcode: [lg_folder folder="folderA/"] to show all images from folderA on a page. However, the two subfolders (folderA-1 and folderA-2) aren't shown on the page. I'm just wondering if I can show sub-folders on a page, just like in the main gallery page.

I think I'm having interaction problems with WP User Control, Member, and Wishlist Member.
The site originally had Member creating some new user roles and the Login widget is NOT activated. Then WishList Member was providing the login page via a shortcode in a page.
To create a faster flow in a certain situation, I set up WP User Control's widget on its own separate page and blocked out everything except the Password Reset function. And the result was great - users were far less confused compared with trying to use WordPress's built in password recovery.
All was going well...
Until we discovered that the normal member Login page (created with the WishList login shortcode) no longer functioned. It simply refreshed itself without going anywhere.
When I removed WP User Control, everything was fine.
We want to continue to use the WishList login page - and still use the WP User Control password reset. Anyone else run into a clash between WishList and WPUC?

So I am trying to do an snmpget via ipv6. Here are a few commands I've tried:
snmpget -v 1 -c public 'fdab:3bce:6c78:1:215:5dff:fe00:3914' sysUpTime.0
snmpget -v 1 -c public 'udp6:fdab:3bce:6c78:1:215:5dff:fe00:3914' sysUpTime.0

snmpget -v 1 -c public '127.0.0.1' sysUpTime.0
Results in:
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (51895) 0:08:38.95
Within my /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf I've tried without an
agentaddress (default for Ubuntu) or by setting it's value to 161 / 161,udp6 / upd6 / updv6 or many other variations.
My concern is perhaps Ubuntu's snmp isn't compiled with ipv6 support? How would I find that out?
Further information:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid
I am up to date and I am using the snmp snmpd packages. I also have a working ipv6 network and I can actually snmpget a windows machine via it's ipv6 address. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
