Speaking of local love, if you were out and about on this gorgeous fall day in Halifax, I'm sure you couldn't help but feel a certain vibe in the air, a vibe filled with mad love for local food and shopping. Today, City Harvest, essentially Open City's fall edition, had finally arrived. And what a day it was. It was almost like Christmas morning. For real. While I could easily go on and on about what an awesome day it was to be a Haligonian, I decided to follow in the footsteps of my Open City post and kick it twitter stylz.
And I just can't finish up before thanking the one and only Gordon Stevens of ilovelocalhalifax. He took an idea from HalifaxReTales and created the awesomeness that was Open City then brought it to life once again with City Harvest. Like the I Love Local mandate, City Harvest is all about supporting our local businesses, strengthening our community, and proving that Halifax is an incredible place to eat, shop, and live. The scene out there today was certainly one of local love and it's only day one. Oh snap.
OMG OMG OMG when I wake it'll be

My great grandfather, Edward Lloyd, emigrated to the United States from Ffestiniog. He was a famous tenor in his day and had high ranking with the Eisteddfod both in Wales, and later, in upstate, NY. I am told by a cousin, Dr. Alwyn Jones, that Lloyd descendants still reside in Teddy's boyhood home on 152/153 Manod Road. Teddy's mother, Mary (née Williams) Lloyd managed a farm/butter-making operation even after her husband had died of TB in 1879, which was unusual for a woman of her time. She was also known as Mary Tomen y mur, although I have not been able to uncover the significance of this moniker. Why are the women of Tomen y mur "famous?"
Teddy married Jane Williams of Amlwch, Anglesey. Jane's sister, Bessie, married Rev. H.K.Jones who inherited Inigo Slate works. I have a picture of " Auntie Bessie" taking tea with Queen Victoria. My grandmother recalled dining with Prime Minister David Lloyd George at Ten Downing Street and also having tea with a queen. I suspect the Prime Minister, as a great patron of the Eisteddfod, was eager to associate himself with my very talented and handsome grandfather who shared the Lloyd name. Teddy's stage name, by the way, was Iorwerth Merioneth.
I have several old pictures from this era taken both in Festiniog and in Amlwch. My great grandparents made many return visits to Wales before the onset of the Great Depression and WWII.

The onetime public schoolteacher is a veteran of Hollywood (Friday After Next, Soul Plane, Dirty Laundry) and the Queens of Comedy tour. She has put in some de rigueur celeb time on reality weight-loss show Celebrity Fit Club, traded barbs with Bill Maher, and recently lashed into Flavor Flav on his Comedy Central roast.

A Social History of the Deccan, 1300-1761: Eight Indian Lives
€ 119,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Mai 2014
BeschreibungIn this fascinating account of one of the least known parts of South Asia, Richard Eaton recounts the history of the Deccan plateau in southern India from the fourteenth century to the rise of European colonialism. He does so, vividly, through the lives of eight Indians who lived at different times during this period, and who each represented something particular about the Deccan. Their stories are woven together into a rich narrative tapestry, which illuminates the most important social processes of the Deccan across four centuries and provides a much-needed book by the most highly regarded scholar in the field.
Inhaltsverzeichnis1. Pratapa Rudra (c. 1289-1323); 2. Muhammad Gisu Daraz (1321-1421); 3. Mahmud Gawan (1411-1481); 4. Rama Raya (1484-1565); 5. Malik Ambar (1548-1626); 6. Tukuram (1608-1649); 7. Papadu (1695-1710); 8. Tarabai (1675-1761).
PortraitRichard Eaton is one of the premier scholars of pre-colonial India. His many publications include The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204-1760 (1993), India's Islamic Traditions, 711-1750 (2003) and Temple Desecration and Muslim States in Medieval India (2004).
Pressestimmen'Richard Eaton has again magisterially pushed back the boundaries of history writing on pre-colonial South Asia. Eight Indian Lives, inspired in part by Vermeer's 'finely crafted portraits with their distinctive play of light' (p. 2) follows the fortunes of eight key figures in the history of the Deccan, moving seamlessly from meticulously constructed accounts of their lives to the political, linguistic and physical landscapes they inhabited.' Samira Sheikh, Indian Economic and Social History Review 'Eaton elegantly vindicates his decision to chronicle social history through the lives of extraordinary people.' Michael Neale, Asian Affairs 'In Social History of the Deccan Eaton demonstrates once more that he is a great master of locale and epoch. Through the use of eight individuals' lives from the 14th to the 18th centuries, Eaton magnificently articulates the main social, political, religious and economic issues of the time. He has an uncanny sense of why a development arises when it does, where it does and what its great importance is. Here he returns to the Deccan, where he had his first great insights into the function of Sufism and its relation to politics.' Eugene F. Irschick, University of California, Berkeley 'This book is a masterful achievement, as Richard Eaton focuses each chapter on the social history of Deccan on a single person, using that person's life to develop his themes and illustrate the times. His well-chosen subjects range widely; my favorite is the Maratha heroine Tarabai, who is brought vividly to life and demonstrates not only her own power but the dominance of Chitpavan Brahmans in the expanding Maratha empire, still Indo-Muslim in culture in the 18th century. Full biographies were seldom possible, given the sources for his time period, but Eaton's strategy succeeds in making the social history of the Deccan accessible and exciting.' Karen Leonard, Anthropology, University of California, Irvine 'In this account of one of the least-known parts of South Asia, Eaton recounts the history of the Deccan plateau in southern India from the 14th century to the rise of European colonialism.'

|Rajon Rondo rocks a mean fedora and says 'I'm sure I'll be OK'
|01.18.12 at 11:39 pm ET
If ever a player knew how to play it cool, it is Rajon Rondo.
Every Celtics fan thought the worst Wednesday night and had nightmarish flashbacks to last spring when he bent his left arm in a way it's not supposed to bend in Game 3 against the Heat.
So when he took a nasty spill Wednesday night, breaking his fall with his right hand and wrist, there was legitimate reason to be worried.
With just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter Wednesday night, Rondo drove to the basket and was knocked to the ground by Linas Kleiza of the Raptors. Rondo said he is "day-to-day" with a sore right wrist, an injury he said afterward "hurt more" than the grotesque dislocated elbow he suffered against the Heat in the second round of the playoffs last spring.
"This was different," Rondo said, sporting a cool black fedora. "This was more painful, honestly. The other one was just more of a shock."
'Honestly, I was laughing right afterwards," added coach Doc Rivers. "I wasn't [concerned] at first because I thought he was trying to get the flagrant. I thought he was laying down, trying to ' you know. And then when he stayed down then I was concerned. But I didn't know what it was. And then when I saw him grabbing his arm or hand I was thinking 'last year, playoffs' obviously.'
|Irish Coffee: Celtics' Jermaine O'Neal gets defensive
|01.17.12 at 12:37 pm ET
In the aftermath of his first double-double of the season, coming in his team's fifth straight loss, Celtics center Jermaine O'Neal took his time inserting his jumbo diamond earrings and slipping into his brown leather jacket — back turned to the media gathered around his locker.
When O'Neal finally turned, he fielded the first question and took a long sip of water before addressing "so-called analysts" critical of his offensive production: "The people out there that's wondering about production with me scoring, that's not my role. My role has been given to me, and my role has been said to be a defender."
Judging by the tone of his voice, the criticism has clearly irked O'Neal in recent days. The 15-year veteran no longer wants to be judged on his 13 previous seasons as a double-digit scorer, but rather on the new role Celtics coach Doc Rivers has carved out for him: Namely, rebounding and defense. Coincidentally or not, JO picked one of his best offensive nights of the season (12 PTS, 5-11 FG) to voice his opinion.
His plea was more of a decree, and here's the rest of O'Neal's I-Got-A-Role Address. Read the rest of this entry »
When he was in Boston, Kendrick Perkins was known as the lumbering shot blocking man in the middle with a scowl.
When his former coach Doc Rivers looked out on the court Monday night, he saw a much different Perk.
"He's half Perk but he's quicker," Rivers said of Perkins, who lost 30 pounds in the offseason. "He had a move today — even though he traveled — where he caught it, took two dribbles, went quick and gathered himself."
This is the man that Celtics GM and team president Danny Ainge traded to Oklahoma City for Jeff Green at the trade deadline last February.
Perkins has matured — and that was clear for Rivers to see on Monday. Yes, he still got in foul trouble, limiting him to seven points and five rebounds in 28 minutes. But what was very clear — and audible — to Rivers from the Celtics sideline is what he's done in terms of making the Thunder a tough team, a team battle-tested and ready to make a run at a title.
"You can see, he's put work in his game," Rivers said. "He has every year I've known him. His influence on that team is dramatic to me. You can see it, you can feel it. You can see it with the bigs, with [Serge Ibaka], they're all defensive players now. Perk has completely changed the culture of that team, you can just see it on the floor. That's terrific for him."
Where did he get this from? Read the rest of this entry »
|Mickael Pietrus makes his Celtics debut and maintains: 'I'm here to win a championship'
|01.12.12 at 12:38 pm ET
Mickael Pietrus said on Monday he thought he might be able to play five or 10 minutes in his Celtics debut Wednesday against the Mavericks. He added he would play as much as the team needed him.
Turned out the Celtics, trying desperately to find a spark off the bench, needed him much more than even Doc Rivers might have imagined. Rivers put him in for the still-struggling Paul Pierce with 1:25 left in the first quarter and immediately noticed a boost.
'He was phenomenal," Rivers said. "I thought we was one of our best players in the game. He clearly gave our team energy. Played hard. Turned the ball. He's exactly what we need. And it's just going to get better. Even if it didn't, I'd take it. Really, he was terrific. He really was. His energy, his joy ' he brought joy to the game. You know, you can just see it. He was so happy to play, and really the only reason he came out was because he was dying. He was getting tired and I had to take him out.'
Rivers took him out 6:04 left in the fourth after 18 hard minutes. Pietrus was 2-of-5 from the field, with one rebound, four fouls and five points. But it was the intangible of energy that meant the most to Rivers. Pietrus, who hit his first shot – a 3-pointer – just over a minute into the second quarter, felt immediately that his style will fit in with these Celtics.
'We have a lot of energy, a lot of focus," Pietrus said. "You know offensively we still have to step up with a lot of new guys, including myself, and it will take time, but we are going to get it done.
'Anytime I step on the floor I'm trying to give the team my heart. The Celtics are my heart now. And that's why I thought people on the Celtics are going to play harder. I tell you everything that's what I'm going to bring every night and I'm not going to lie to you, I'm here to win a championship."
|Celtics at a loss to explain slow starts
|01.07.12 at 2:07 pm ET
Rajon Rondo pushed the ball forward trying to lead a Celtics fast break as time was running out in the first half of Friday night's game against the Pacers. Indiana thwarted any easy opportunities for the Boston point guard by getting back on defense. Rondo pulled the ball out to just beyond midcourt to receive instruction from coach Doc Rivers. Less than 10 seconds remained, though, and the Celtics found themselves out of sorts offensively. Rondo was trapped by two Indiana defenders and was forced to pass the ball to Kevin Garnett, who launched a wild, off-balance jumper to end the half.
The TD Garden crowd serenaded the Celtics with boos while they left the court with their heads hung low. The possession exemplified Boston's dreadful 25-point first-half output. The anemic offensive display tied a franchise record set in 1995 and repeated in 1999.
"It sucks to be on the wrong side of history," Ray Allen said. "Especially with the firepower we have, you never think we could score so few points. We can always look back and remember this game."
Allen, who missed Wednesday's game against the Nets due to flu-like symptoms, remarkably was the game's high scorer at halftime with eight points. As a team, Boston shot 9-of-34 (26.5 percent) from the field in the first half. Nine of those 34 attempts came from Paul Pierce, who struggled mightily, only hitting one attempt.
Boston's captain finished the game with 10 points on 3-of-17 shooting, to go along with a team-high five turnovers (three of which came in the first half). Even though Pierce didn't convert his opportunities, he was satisfied with the looks he got at the basket. "I took a lot of good shots tonight," Pierce said. "They just didn't fall, but I feel good about [the shot selection]."
Rondo made no excuses for his team's performance Friday night, but he noted that Pierce's shooting struggles were something he doesn't think the 13-year veteran will replicate going forward. Meanwhile, Jermaine O'Neal said a rare break in the schedule will give the Celtics an opportunity to sharpen their offensive execution in practice, something the compacted season has made difficult with limited off days.
Perhaps more alarming for Boston is that this is the second consecutive game the team has struggled to produce offense in the first half. Wednesday against New Jersey, the Celtics scored a paltry 34 points through 24 minutes. The Nets were playing without two starters (Deron Williams and Kris Humphries), and were only able to counter Boston with a woeful 35-point effort themselves. The Celtics found their groove offensively and would go on to enjoy 55-point second half, cruising to an 89-70 victory.
The Celtics – coaches and players – were visibly upset many times during Friday's hideous loss to the Pacers at TD Garden. Rajon Rondo picked up a technical after he was called for a cheap foul on one end and then didn't get the call when he was hammered under the basket on a reverse layup.
Jermaine O'Neal picked up a couple of fouls on plays that appeared to be clean blocks on replay.
So, when Doc Rivers stepped to the microphone in postgame, many assumed he'd go off. He did. But not on the refs.
"I think he was trying to draw fouls, honestly, and I thought he did or didn't," Rivers said of Rondo's drives to the basket. "I actually liked, in that way, they were letting you play. That usually benefits us. Tonight it didn't."
But that was just the beginning. What really bothered Rivers the most was the fact the Pacers went on the road to Boston and beat the Celtics at their own game.
"I just thought offensively, we were horrible," Rivers began. "The ball stuck the entire night. I used a timeout early, I used a timeout in the third quarter. But I give Indiana a lot of the credit. I thought they were up into our airspace, they fought us all night, they knocked us off the block. I thought they were the instigators the entire night and all we did was whine and retaliated, for the most part.
"I think it was their effort. I thought their intensity ' I just thought they were into us. They were in our airspace, you know? We always talk about owning the airspace of ours, and then owning the opponents' airspace. That's who we are. And they were us, for the entire game. Even in the stretch we were playing well I thought it was late shot clock baskets by us. So I just thought they did it better than us. And that falls on me first. I told our guys that. But then it falls on them as well.'
By the end of the third quarter, the Celtics were utterly lost, symbolized by their botched play that ended in a desperate Kevin Garnett 3-point attempt from the right wing at the buzzer, a shot partially blocked by Tyler Hansbrough.
"Early pick-and-roll," Rivers said of planned play call gone awry. "That was just frustration at the summit. I thought they were responsible for a lot of it. I thought they were the tougher team, physically, and the tougher team, mentally."
KG and Hansbrough went face-to-face in the fourth quarter but the man they called "Psycho-T" at North Carolina wouldn't back down. And neither would the Pacers, leading Rivers to point out the following:
"I mean, listen, we're a 4-4 basketball team," Rivers began. "That's what we are. You are what your record is. Make no mistake about that. One of the guys said, 'Hey, that's alright; we're better than that.' And I said, 'No we're not. You're what your record says you are. And you always have the ability to do something about that. But right now, Indiana's a 5-2 team ' I think that's their record ' and we're a 4-4 team. And make no mistake: that's who we are. That's not who we want to be, and that's not who we're going to be hopefully, but right now that's who we are.'
The Celtics are 4-0 against the Pistons, Wizards (twice) and Nets, teams that are a combined 4-18. They are 0-4 against the Knicks, Heat, Hornets and Pacers, teams that are a combined 17-12.
"Well, we're 0-fer against quality opponents," Rivers said. "But again, it's eight games into the year, so I'm not going to overdo that.'
Paul Pierce was a mere symptom of the cause Friday night at TD Garden.
Yes, he made just three of the 17 shots he attempted from the field. Yes, he finished with just 10 points in 37 minutes of play. Yes, he attempted six 3-pointers, making just one.
But the Pacers and Celtics combined to make just 58 of their combined 145 shots from the field. That's 87 misses. That's a lot. Just asked the coach on the losing end of an 87-74 Indiana survival.
"Both teams set offense back about 50 years today," Doc Rivers said. "It was awful to watch. I thought defensively, we were pretty good until the third quarter."
That's probably because as the Celtics were desperate to get out from under their 25-point first half, they opened things up and sped up the game, losing sight of their defensive principles just to put points on the board and get into a rhythm.
As for Pierce, "He was human, you know?" Rivers explained. "I thought he tried to do too much off the [dribble], especially early. And then I thought he got frustrated a little bit. That's going to happen. But that's where somebody else we needed to pick up, and nobody could. Without Ray [Ray Allen] shooting today, we would've shot 20 percent.'
Allen finished 7-for-11 in his first game back from the flu. The rest of the team was a collective 19-for-55, which is bad enough for 35 percent.
'We were able to score but we didn't get stops," said Pierce. "We played them to dead even, both teams scored thirty points. When they have the lead, you're just running on a treadmill. We've just got to go back to work, watch the tape and see some of the things we did wrong. There's no need to put our heads down, it's early in the season, and we just need to clean up a few things.
'Ray's doing what he does, he knocks down shots so we get him open but unfortunately myself and some other guys didn't step up enough offensively for us to win.'
Perhaps Pierce and the Celtics can rediscover their offensive mojo in the next five days, as the team has several practices planned.
'It will give us a chance to get some good practice time in," Pierce said. "I haven't had any practice this year so it'll be good for me to get back in and refreshed with some of the things we're doing. Add to our playbook which we haven't been able to do because of our lack of practice plus it'll be a good rest for us. We're playing every other day, so get our feet back up under us and regroup and get back on next week.'

Give Russia Trade Advice, Not Handouts
The upcoming Yeltsin-Clinton summit provides an opportunity to demolish one of the great policy myths bandied about in Washington circles. That is, the routing of reformers in the last Russian election would result in hyperinflation, economic chaos, and political instability. It simply didn't happen.
Thanks to Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, inflation is down to 5% a month from 30% a year ago, the ruble is steady, and industrial production appears to be bottoming out. In fact, official statistics are probably missing an upturn in the economy where much activity remains off the books.
So stable is the economy that American and European securities houses are investing up to $500 million a month in the stocks of newly privatized companies, from aluminum to telecommunications. Joining the investment flow is a portion of the $40 billion in flight capital that left the country because of inflation and taxes. In a world of international capital markets, portfolio investment can finance true economic growth for the first time in years.
This is where the U.S. can help. Russia lacks a single stock quote system and clearing house. Most trading goes on directly between individuals and brokers all over the country. As a recent stock scandal indicates, it is prone to corruption.
The U.S. is already supporting the creation of a NASDAQ-style stock market in Moscow. It should expand the project to tie in every major Russian city. It can help further by helping to write basic legal and regulatory protections needed for a legitimate capital market.
Investment and trade, not foreign aid, are the way for Russia to make the transition to a growing, market economy. The U.S. can help further by increasing Overseas Private Investment Corp. resources for American companies doing business there and by increasing Russia's access to U.S. markets. Moscow could even use some help from Madison Avenue. The Sharper Image catalog is already offering Russian binoculars. How about: From our spies to your eyes.

Revising Urban History: the Interstate Highway Road Not Taken
In a paper published in this month's Transport Policy, Marlon Boarnet, director of the graduate urban planning program at USC, "outlines a series of lessons that developing countries might learn from America's great road expansion experiment," writes Eric Jaffe. "By far the most compelling is his suggestion that the Interstate Highway System should have been two distinct systems: one running between cities, and another running within them."
By planning, financing, and governing intracity and intercity road systems separately, Boarnet believes the negative impacts of running highways through cities could have been avoided.
"To be sure, the Interstate Highway System did an enormous amount of good for the United States, but in retrospect the decision to thread it through cities was a great mistake," observes Jaffe.

Golden Week Review: Prestat
Receiving chocolates is always great, especially when you have the pleasure of reviewing them. Propeller TV received some chocolates to sample from Prestat, a London-based chocolatier with a unique and colourful history. Established in 1902, and noticed over the century by big-names such as Roald Dahl, Prestat is an established name in the chocolate making industry, and carries a great respect amongst not only people in the business, but customers and chocolate connoisseurs also.
Firstly, the packaging for the chocolates is worth mentioning, particularly for those looking for purchase these chocolates as a gift. The boxes we received, the Heart Assortment and a small sample box, both come in a stunning pink. This makes the boxes visually striking, but also lends a delicate and almost feminine feeling to the products, and coupled with the unique heart-shaped design, we can see this making a perfect gift for an anniversary or special occasion. The boxes are embossed with glossy gold text and designs, adding a touch of elegance and luxury. What particularly stood out to us about the boxes was, in fact, the hand-made quality they gave off. Whilst being elegant and luxury, the boxes definitely felt like love had been put into making each one, chinese to uk which made the boxes seem more personal and thoughtful.
Now, the main event, the chocolates themselves. Firstly, the chocolates are visually appealing in all the right ways. Whilst they look elegant and luxury in themselves, once again, the hand-made aesthetic really shines here, and really exudes the sense that each chocolate is handmade and delicately crafted. Whilst we keep going on about this visual element, it really makes a difference to the overall experience of the chocolates, and we love it!
The chocolates range from standard truffles to more interesting combinations. We sampled several, and for the purposes of keeping this review short and sweet, we'll highlight some of the most notable.
Firstly, Prestat aren't afraid to experiment with bold flavours, some of which might not be to everyone's taste. For example, the Milk Saffron and Ginger Fudge variety divided our office, with some being all for it, and others shying away from the strong ginger taste. However, this is why I think Prestat chocolates are great, in that they explore bold flavours, and make for a unique and interesting gift. Dark Passion Fruit and Dark Violet Crème were other bold flavours we enjoyed, and we liked how they pushed our expectations of chocolate.
But don't fret if you're a little scared of going bold, because Prestat includes the classics, and boy do they shine! From their Dark Rose Crème to Chocolate Truffle, it is obvious that Prestat are good at what they do and know just how to execute a classic. Similarly, they felt indulgent but also not too heavy, with some of the fruit flavours lending the chocolates a more delicate taste.
Overall, the chocolates were definitely bold, but certainly loved. We enjoyed how the flavours challenged our taste buds, and how there was a good mixture of both exciting and different, and classic and comfortable. The whole experience can be summed up with a phrase I've used several times in this short review – hand-made. The chocolates feel full of love and skill, as does the design and overall aesthetic, making it a perfect heartfelt gift to a loved one.
And what's even better is, Propeller TV has a box to give away to a lucky winner! Want to know how? Check out our Facebook, where you can find more information on how to win.

"I thought they would never leave." Holly whispered, cutting off her glare at Trey. "That woman is annoying."
Trey shook his head of dark brown spikes and said, "I frenched her once. She's not that bad."
"Ugh, you are such a pig."
"Yes." He laughed, "Yes I am. Now, are we going to fight?" He stood up, muscles rolling off every part of his body.
"What? No. No. Hell no." Holly bit her lip, drawing blood. No matter, she healed pretty quickly—for the most part.
"What? Why not? Are you afraid?" He taunted, flexing his massive muscles.
"No." she snapped too fast and he laughed. "I just don't wanna." She crossed her arms over her chest.
"We'll ask Bernard then." Holly looked down at the floor as Bernard entered the room. He was one of the most important people to her and she wasn't going to risk killing him.
Besides, normally she'd be able to look at him with her special glasses but they were worn out. "Hello Holly, I brought you some new glasses." Bernard told her. "I just needed to see your smile."

"TWO-GUN" MUTUALISMPerhaps this has all taken a strangely martial turn, given mutualism's generally peaceful reputation. Isn't the core of mutualism the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you?" Yes, indeed. But there's nothing simple about fulfilling the Golden Rule. The principle is not, for instance, Do unto others as if they were you. If I serve you Postum for coffee, or bake you a chocolate cake on your birthday, because, Hey, I like Postum!—and chocolate's my favorite!—I haven't acted according to a mutual or reciprocal principle. Instead, I have acted according to a rather narrow sort of egoism. If the terms are reversed, I certainly don't want to be treated as just another instance of a type defined by someone else. Respect for the individuality of each actually seems to require a move into the realm of the general, recourse to a rule of individuality—a rule which ultimately tells us that there isn't going to be any simple rule of thumb for how to fulfill the Golden Rule. If I assume that the way that I would like to be treated is as an individual—but as the specific individual that I am—then presumably I should treat the other as an individual (according to a fairly simple, general rule)—but also as an-other individual (and here all simple, general rules begin to break down.)
and the
[continued from Part 2]
and the
[continued from Part 2]
The individual-collective dynamic is a sort of antinomy, already pretty familiar to students of Proudhon and mutualism. No theory of the individual or society is going to be complete without constant recourse to the ways in which one influences the other. Leroux, Greene and Proudhon all embraced this particular antinomy as a key sociological insight, and Proudhon, taking cues from Leroux, gradually built his social science around the notion that not only are individuals and collectivities intimately connected, but collectivities may be themselves understood as individuals—let's say individualities for the moment—to the extent that they manifest a single law of organization.
There is ultimately more—much more—that needs to be said about the social theories that the early mutualists, and libertarian communists like Déjacque, elaborated, the ways in which peopling the world with collectivities and individualities at every imaginable scale—from the infinitesimal to the universal—did or did not contribute to a robust anarchist critique of hierarchy and a sustainable model for a free society. For now, it is important to simply note that in Proudhon's theory—undoubtedly, the most fully and clearly developed of the bunch—he was moving towards a vision in which our all personal individualities, and whatever social individualities emerged from their free interactions, would be allowed their fullest development, bounded only by the principle of reciprocity—the Golden Rule.
Liberty then, nothing more, nothing less. Laissez faire, laissez passer, in the broadest and most literal sense; consequently property, as it rises legitimately from this freedom, is my principle. No other solidarity between citizens than that which rises accidentally from force majeur: for all that which relates to free acts, and manifestations of reflective thought, complete and absolute insolidarity.But:
Who does not see that the mutualist organization of exchange, of circulation, of credit, of buying and selling, the abolition of taxes and tolls of every nature which place burdens on production and bans on goods, irresistibly push the producers, each following his specialty, towards a centralization analogous with that of the State, but in which no one obeys, no one is dependent, and everyone is free and sovereign?—P.-J. Proudhon, "The Revolutionary Program" (1848).This is the "communist ends by individualist means" that we find in his early work. In his later works, Proudhon acknowledged that even the state should be acknowledged as an individuality, along with all the human individuals, workshops, voluntary associations, and the like—but that all these individualities must be understood as equals. The state-individuality, to take the most contentious example, has its role, its law of development, and its "rights," but they do not take trump the role or "rights" (scare-quoted here since the question of "rights" is itself contentious in this context) by virtue of belonging to a collectivity—since every individual is assumed to be a collectivity, a group, organized according to a unique law—nor by virtue of the size or scale of the individuality, nor by virtue of the participation of the constituent individuals in collective-individuality.
There are obviously some serious issues to wrestle with here. On the one hand, the approach radically levels the political playing field. If we were aiming for a democracy, it would be a one organizing principle = one vote sort of affair. … The radical leveling means that the mutual principle—"actors recognize enough of themselves in one another to build a basic relation of mutuality…or they do without…society"—ought to be applicable to essentially all relations, as long as we're willing to allow some diversity in the means by which different sorts of individualities can "recognize" one another. Proudhon was hardly naïve about those sorts of differences. And, again, our current focus is on person-to-person mutuality. But what we've already suggested is that at least some of the radical difficulties of recognition between individualities of different scales or natures are just the writ-large versions of a problem we encounter in much more familiar settings.
In attempting to work within the antinomy, we encounter an aporia. If our rule is to treat the other as an other, as a unique individual (and not just another instance of some type we can assume we exemplify), then our rule isn't enough. Our understanding of common human traits or shared circumstances may well be the thing that is least useful in addressing the other as individuality.
There is, of course, no question of attempting to dispense with generalization. It is, after all, our pursuit of a general rule which brings us to the brink of this new and particularly thorny set of problems. There is a common tendency to treat any road that leads us to an aporia as the wrong road, no matter how rational and rigorous the process that led us there. The desire for a priori ethical rules that can simply be applied, once we know the details of the case, is perfectly understandable, but the notion that any alternative to this sort of ethical technology is pure dispersion and despair, ethical relativism, quietism or defeatism—or even "anti-principled, in-your-face consequentialism"—may well be one of those effects of fear that Leroux warned against, pushing us towards one extreme or the other.
It would be easy here to rail a bit about how adherence to the principle of reciprocity, understood in this aporetic way, is transformed, in the minds of opponents, into "relativism" or "nihilism," and countered with such unlovely beasts as the purely consequentialist defense of this or that "principle." But, frustrating as this sort of thing is, it's not the sort of thing that a mutualist can get too high-and-mighty about. Mutualism's own history is replete with examples of how to fall short of the Golden Rule, provided by the very figures who have most powerfully advanced its doctrine. For now, we'll concentrate on those internal examples of how giving in to logical simplism can have disastrous consequences—with particular attention to Proudhon.
First, however, let's make sure we have the problem well defined: Mutualism, as understood by the figures we are examining, consisted of very little besides a commitment to the principle of mutuality—the Golden Rule—and a sense—presumably based in social science—that the individual and society were inextricably bound together, and that individuality and collectivity were neither logical nor social opposites, but instead characteristics of all beings, manifesting themselves at different scales. In Proudhon's hands, this all led to the potential of a radically leveled social and political playing field, with all individuals—or all those that he could recognize as full and social individuals—interacting on essentially equal terms. The uncertainties and complexities of such a system make no real argument against it, from a mutualist point of view. With no exact means of knowing how to treat the other as an other like ourselves, and with the Golden Rule as guide, the only ethical option is obviously to "aim high," to exceed the letter of the law, to exceed tit-for-tat, etc. Proudhon was skeptical about the exchange of values anyway, seeing "equal exchange" as largely a matter of convention, "approximation"—and such approximations are always open for improvement. As for complexity, Proudhon saw it as a key component of (positive) liberty. It might not be too much to say that it was precisely in the instances of incommensurability, uncertainty, interminable experiment and approximation, that Proudhon saw the openings—and the mechanism—for progress and perfection.
This is a sort of thought that tends to escape easy summary, and mutualists have not always been as clear as they might be. (I can only appeal to the difficulties myself.) For the progressive or perfectionist, a fair amount of ambivalence is perhaps unavoidable, and a certain messiness in exposition almost inevitable. All the evils and disarray of the present call for strong condemnation; but they may also signal, by their very intensity and vileness, at least the possibility of real change. Once again, it's not simply that social disorganization marks the collapse of an old system. The progressive faith requires a fundamental belief in the reality of collective action and collective reason—a belief which can never be uncritical or quietist, and which indeed can probably never be critical enough, since the individual must engage the collective with their individual reason; a belief that must constantly be tested with social science and historical study, and which has no very specific content or context without that study; but a belief that leads the progressive or perfectionist to at least always entertain the possibility that human institutions are sound in their aims, however flawed they may be in their implementation.
Such an approach is full of pitfalls, of course. We can see that in the uneven and opportunistic ways in which its practitioners have applied it. Proudhon, even while completing his critique of property and the state, as he found them, turned to an engagement with their ends, and the best-developed elements of his writings map out the twists and turns of that engagement. In the end, in The Theory of Property, Proudhon embraced both property and the state, but only in a particular sort of opposition, and he acknowledged explicitly that it "it falls to us to govern [that opposition] and to make it act according to the laws of logic." Proudhon picked up both pistols—and it is up to us, ultimately, to decide if that was the best that can be done, or whether perhaps, in embracing the aims of the institutions, he gave too much credit to their existing forms.
In "The Gift Economy of Property" and other writings, I have suggested some alternatives to Proudhon's final approach to property—alternatives which are no less highly charged, but are perhaps less martial in their approach. I'm not certain that there is anything in that work, however, that clearly raises it to or above the level of The Theory of Property. But we can perhaps more clearly see the dangers of the progressive approach if we look at Proudhon's response to potential changes in the institution of the family, and in gender roles. Proudhon was at once progressive and conservative when it came to most economic questions, and questions regarding institutional government. Even when he advocated the conservation of existing forms—or when he advocated a strengthening of private property, provided it was widely distributed—it was with the understanding that those forms would fulfill a substantially new function. When it was a question of changes to the family, he instead denied progress, at best bringing new justifications to bear for institutions which would ultimately pull against the general trajectory of his libertarian thought. With regard to women's rights, his thought was worse than simply conservative. In "picking up the pistols" with regard to property, he sought to shelter individuals in such a way that liberty was preserved for all, and progressive change had a space within which to occur. When it came to women, his impulse was to shelter them from change. The defenses of the traditional family that he developed could just as easily have supported any number of non-traditional living arrangements. A strong case could be made—and was being made at the time—that the aims of the family could be at least as well addressed by other forms. The patriarchal rights that he ultimately defended were, like the private property rights of The Theory of Property, an intensification—Leroux might have said "exaggeration"—of existing rights, and we might suspect that they were driven by nothing other than "horror"—again the word is Leroux's—of the polar alternative. Proudhon once again "picked up the pistols," but because he turned against his own stated principles—affirmation of progress, opposition to the absolute, movement by an indefinite sequence of approximations—and, most seriously, quite simply denied women full participation in society, he could hardly do better than the soldiers in the Rue Transnonain. "[W]e are ordered to do this, we are compelled to obey, though it makes us as wretched as you…" Treating the traditional family and patriarchy as providential, Proudhon could hardly avoid discharging both pistols at women in general, jeopardizing his entire project in the process.
Proudhon's particular failure was not intrinsic to his libertarianism or his social science. Leroux did not share it, nor did Greene. But they had their own failings. Every system has its attendant hazards, and, on one level, mutualism combines those of individualism with those of extreme collectivism—and when it is not in danger of slipping to extremes it has to be careful not to settle into some comfortable rut in the middle. Faith in collective reason has to be truly a matter of faith, as opposed to knowledge—and has to be treated as such. If a mutualist thought they knew that a given institution was correct in its aims—that it represented a manifestation of progress in the collective reason—they would be on shaky ground. And, as the historical record pretty clearly shows, radicals are not magically shielded from all the confusions of their era, no matter how critical they may manage to be. Leroux went through some truly peculiar gyrations in his work to explain the nature and extent of his own anti-semitism; in the end, it isn't clear if he entirely understood it himself. And he probably didn't. His most extreme expressions are, from a more consistently logical and libertarian perspective, awkwardly grafted onto a critique of capitalism as obstruction of the circulus that is both perceptive, humorous, and well ahead of its time in its proto-ecological arguments. (If you were looking for the missing link between the physiocrats' treatment of natural production and modern environmental science, this might be it.) But the seriousness of the failure is in some ways heightened—particularly for us, in an ideological environment that is very, very sensitive to such failures—by the promise of the thought surrounding it. Proudhon's failure is colossal: it is in the very same works where he points most clearly to the possibility of a radical equality which does not efface individuality, and where he at least hints at a contr'un far more powerful than the triad, in the multiplication and association of free forces, that he excludes women from that potential promise land, denying them equality and the basic relations of society. Like Leroux, he twists and turns, but there is really no escaping the fact that he can recognize the role and rights of the (anarchist) state and the workshop, but not those of women. (Honestly…)
There, but for real care in our application of the one principle that drives mutualism, go we. The hard part of embracing continual progress is also embracing constant incompletion, approximation, non-innocence. Mutualism, by emphasizing complexity and attaching itself to institutions only provisionally and experimentally, makes tremendous demands—but they are essentially anarchistic demands. The trick is to really progress, but that, as Proudhon insisted, also involves a careful sort of conservation. We can't settle solely for critique or celebration of the tradition as we have inherited it—to do so would perhaps be more comfortable, but it would also be a simplist betrayal of mutualism's basic approach.
The alternatives should become clearer as we move to incorporate more of the mutualist tradition into the analysis

We have a flat network and we are finally migrating over to a subnetted network. I'm very excited that's besides the point.
Anyway we have LanEYE and it seems to work very well. However i don't know how well it works acorss Subnets/VLANs.
Has anyone used LanEYE acorss subnets or if you have another solution that you would suggest?
We are putting in Cisco Nexus switches 5596, 2248, and cat 4510.

As long as it's running and can route to and from all the subnets then you shouldn't have a problem.

But Myrow's most interesting assignment might have been one not in the Western Hemisphere. In 2006, he played for the Lotte Giants of the Korean Professional Baseball League. I asked him what that experience was like.
First of all, what led to you playing in Korea?
Brian Myrow: The team in Korea called the Dodgers, the Dodgers called my agent and asked if I was interested. I was still on the roster at the time but they had pretty much cleaned house, they fired the GM and the manager and they hired a new manager and signed (Nomar) Garciaparra to play first, and I knew they had (James) Loney in Double-A. So, I felt like they had a bunch of good guys coming out of camp. If I didn't make the big league club, I was going to be struggling for time and so I was afraid I was going to get released after spring training because they were pretty full as it was. I decided to go ahead and go to Korea and then if I had success there, great, and if not I could always come back and be a free agent and that's what happened.
What kind of experience did you have?
Brian Myrow: It was different; everything's a little different. The baseball's competitive there. They take it very seriously, the fans are real good. They get pretty good crowds.
What were your living conditions like?
Brian Myrow: I had a three-bedroom apartment. My wife went with me and my son and it was about a two dollar cab ride to the field. I ate Korean food sometimes. If I didn't want to, they just paid for whatever I ate. They had McDonald's, they had Pizza Hut. I would usually eat at Outback, TGIFridays, or something like that.
Did a lot of people speak English?
Brian Myrow: Nobody really spoke English, I had an interpreter to help translate. Some of the stuff got mixed up, some of the baseball terms got crossed in the translation but other than that it was okay.
Would you consider playing there again?
Brian Myrow: I would probably go back if the situation came up again. If I was at that point of my career I think I would go back again.

Product: Advocare Review
Owner: Charles Ragus
Website:advocare com
Overall Rank: Scam.
Advocare MLM Review – What Is Advocare?
Advocare founded in 1993 by Charles E. Ragus is a weight-loss company that sells a variety of health products by providing an MLM-based opportunity to its users. After the company was first founded by Charles, only 250 people were employed during that time. Since then however, the number of individual distributors have risen from 250 to an astounding 60,000 AdvoCare representatives!
(all-thanks to the popular rise in constant MLM scams and opportunities).
What Does AdvoCare Sell In Terms of Products?
AdvoCare products are highly various in nature, yet surround the similar subject of course, which is "well-being, nutrition, weight-loss, & health."
Just about anything related to nutrition, weight-loss, muscle strength, you name it, they most-likely have something to offer within their catalog. AdvoCare nonetheless, is a product not very different than HerbaLife and Isagenix. The same old companies offering you grand luxurious vacations, instructional packets, and a whole bunch of products, you have just about absolutely no idea what to do with!
Trust me, I understand completely. I, myself once had been there, but only for a moment. I soon realized that these companies are in it for their own profit, whether it be to better help the people at the top achieve the status of being multi-millionaires, or billionaires, the purpose remains the same – Utilizing the masses, the greater good, as disposables for their own immense profit!
Greedy..? You bet!
And that's one of the greatest lessons and things I have personally been able to take out of Multi-Level-Marketing as a whole, whether it be some health related product trying to prove themselves worthy by offering you this grand opportunity, or some everyday schemish online opportunity, I have found myself gratefully stuck at the furthest distance possible.
Specialty AdvoCare Products Catalog Include:
1) Advocare Trim.
2) Advocare Well.
3) Advocare Performance Elite.
4) Advocare 24-day Challenge.
Simply-stated these are the types of products your everyday average corporation produces in order to better brand itself. This is nothing more than your average everyday means in working as a win-win for both the corporate structure and its buyers.
By offering something essentially unique, advocare is able to really leverage its brand, inevitably resulting in more attention, more sales, and more recruits!
AdvoCare MLM Opportunity – Is AdvoCare Legit?
Why would anybody want to work for a company, where consumer complaints tend to be inherently endless, concerning the products? If you take a look at amazon, you'll notice there's essentially two sides to the ratings – Many 5 stars and even more 1 stars, but not so many in the middle. Why is that?
Well take into consideration when reading these reviews that a lot of, if not most, of your 5-star ratings have been written by the company itself to help better the balance of the scale. As for the many 1-star reviews, those are the one's you should really be looking into. Back to the question at hand however.. Why join yourself in an opportunity where the products not only have been speculated time and time again, but where the opportunity is to say quite boldly, useless?
It's fairly easy to conclude that it's all a mere result of the companies use of MLM "policies" in its opportunity earning structure; one that essentially offers the sounds of an "American Dream," that's truly too good to be true. Essentially, MLM is possibly one of the hardest, most rigorous businesses you can get into. It's really only the people who have decades of experience and the right knowledge on how to sell products and recruit with ease that make it.
As for the rest, the complete lack of mentorship and the right knowledge leaves them nowhere in terms of making even their first penny. Hence, as you may have seen to the right, my sidebar includes a free website. That's been implemented for a purpose! Because of the fact 99% of online entrepreneurs start out in the wrong business of MLM rather than good old simple affiliate marketing, so much failure has surrounded the online marketing industry when it comes to earning a substantial full-time income!
AdvoCare MLM Mentorship & Guidance VS. Affiliate Marketing
However, that can't and should not be said for affiliate marketing. Especially when you have all the right and necessary resources, mentorship, guidance, and tools, your sole ability to reach the sky and beyond becomes inherently.. Limitless! Thus, despite my somewhat biased take on multi-level marketing, it's becoming an ever increasing and greater purpose for me to help spread the correct knowledge. For those who do have a bit of experience in the MLM industry, you already know how tough it can be. Yet, I bet you've taken a good amount of experience and knowledge at the same time. However, when it comes to the ending result, it's just a means to an end. All you've really taken is some knowledge about a pretty lousy opportunity.
If you suddenly find yourself having an interest in the 1% who truly make a full-time living online, I'm glad. As I have a proposal for you. One in which I believe you will like, for both those who would like to stick around in MLM and/or for those who just want OUT! I understand completely. Thing is, my proposal can help immensely and in a wide number of ways. This is a once in a lifetime offer giving you a free chance to take a stab at affiliate marketing.
The Best Alternative Course Of Action!
In order to set yourself up as a true affiliate marketer, you need a website. This in-turn will become your very own business, in which you can use to talk to your traffic in anyway you want, just as I am doing with you. You can ultimately divert their attention, but only do it ethically and for good purpose.
The lesson to take here is, always take these opportunities with a grain of salt and don't listen to everything you hear to be real.. Atleast not without some proof. My proposal on the other hand offers not just proof, but in a better sense your own free training and website to begin your new venture right away. Put aside AdvoCare, just for a moment. I mean how much are you making from them anyway??
Once you have your website in place and visitors on a consistent and daily basis, then if you truly desire, place Advocate in your basket of eggs! But like they always say, it never hurts to have more than just one reliable source of income. You never truly do know when something may never work out…
My Overall Verdict & Rating on Advocare!
Verdict = Scam
Rating = 42/100
My Proposition –
