Fantastic: Voyager of the Seas Cruise Review by NSW Coastie
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Arriving at the Quay in Sydney we were absolutely star struck by this beautiful ship. The boarding was great, I couldn't believe how many staff were on hand to make it happen with very little fuss. Once on board we decided to off load the carry on items and venture up stairs to take in the view of Sydney and her beautiful harbor, where we were greeted by friendly staff wishing us a fabulous cruise and asking if we would like to celebrate the occasion with a drink from the bar, and wising us up to the best way for us to purchase our drinks while on board which was a great help, being first time cruisers.
Our stateroom was on deck 6, cabin 6578 with a balcony, it was very nice and the balcony I can recommend for the extra cost as it was wonderful sitting out there as you arrived into the ever changing ports in NZ, along with More a great place to dry any personal items you may need to launder.
We mainly used the Windjammer for dinning as it was casual dress and isn't that what holidays are for....Food was varied and always fresh, great selection of fresh fruits etc. We dined at the formal dining room one night and met some lovely people.
The best part about the cruise is you could be as busy as you liked or you could just chill out and do nothing. Entertainment was very good, the ice show was amazing, along with the other acts on board. Karaoke in Cleopatra's Needle was a crack-up and better than an nights viewing on TV.
Never having been to NZ we were given a little taste of a very beautiful country as the shore excursions were excellent including the prices.
We found this cruise great, although I would agree with one of the previous reviews that stated that the biggest problem on this ship were some of the passengers themselves, we could not find fault it was beautiful and thankyou especially to Arturo & Emerson who were wonderful to us. Less

Walter Russell Mead is starting to finally talk about some ideas regarding Liberalism 5.0 (not liberal as in big "D" Democratic, but small "d" democratic). His first post out the box has some issues which I hope to get at in another post, but this post takes on the failure of the what Mead calls the "Blue Social Model" and how it relates to African Americans. Read the whole post, but the long and short of it is that a high percentage of middle class African Americans have jobs in the public (read: government) sector. There are reasons for this as Mead explains, and it has lead to African Americans voting overwhelmingly for the Democrats, since they are the ones that tend to support the Blue Social Model the most.
The problem is that we can't afford government in the way that we used to. Government has to learn to provide services at a cheaper cost and that means that it will be restructured, which is a nice way of saying there will be cuts. Also, many African Americans who joined the public sector decades ago are now reaching retirement age, just at the time that public pensions are an issue.
Mead notes that there has to be way to sell this new form of governing to African Americans. While whites might sound excited at the mention of small government, many African Americans tend to be more concerned since it means the loss of an avenue that could lead to advancement in American society.
After coming back from a few days in Michigan, I've thought at lot about how my hometown of Flint and the nearby metropolis of Detroit have been governed over the years. African Americans have risen to leadership in both towns, but it has been interesting to see how in some cases the way the cities were governed resembled Tammany Hall. Zev Chafets notes in a recent Newsweek profile of Hansen Clarke, a new Congressman from Detroit in how Motor City politicians were more about patronage than in trying to revive the city as the auto industry was collapsing.
Which leads to a question: why is there so little emphasis placed on raising a new generation of black entrepeneurs? Don't we need more Booker T. Washingtons who can help uplift the race? Why are other ethnic groups like Asian Americans more willing to make their way in the private sector?
I don't say this because I'm some kind of anti-government activist. That said, relying so much on the public sector is not a way to help uplift the millions of African Americans in poverty.
I think that the next big challenge for African Americans is to create climates that can give rise to black Bill Gates to Warren Buffet.
I'm all for seeing more African Americans in government, but we need more black scientists, and CEOs as well.

Since UN resolution 1706 was passed in August 2006, the international community has had the means to stop ethnic cleansing in Darfur. Yet in response to continued attacks on innocent civilians, world leaders have done little else than utter a few words of condemnation. Despite 13 UN resolutions on Darfur, the no-fly zone has still not been enforced.
Darfur is the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with up to 450,000 people killed, three million displaced and 90% of black African villages destroyed. Access for humanitarian aid is at its lowest level for years. We cannot allow this situation to continue. It's time for the UN to finally enforce its resolution and secure the no-fly zone. If it was considered important enough to enforce a no-fly zone in Kosovo and Bosnia, then why not in Darfur?
Glenys Kinnock MEP
Labour, Wales
I visited the refugee camps in Darfur in October 2004 and saw at first hand the effects of the Sudanese government's bombing campaign against its own people. Despite all the worthy expressions of regret and disapproval since then, civilians in Darfur are still being bombed, attacked, raped and made homeless by their own government and its paid proxies, the Janjaweed.
Britain should be playing its role in making sure the UN resolutions on Darfur are enforced, starting with a no-fly zone, targeted sanctions against the architects of the genocide, economic sanctions and the arrival of UN peacekeepers with a mandate to protect civilians and disarm their attackers. It defies belief that the people of Darfur, those who have survived this long, are still waiting for the world to respond to their plight.
David Alton
House of Lords
I suppose we should be reassured that Tony Blair seeks UN approval for a no-fly zone over Darfur, backed up if necessary by bombing of military airfields. Our PM views such issues in stark terms, oblivious of the fallout from a similar policy in pre-invasion Iraq when thousands of innocents died as our pilots played a major part in containing Saddam's attacks on sections of his fellow citizens.
Again we can look forward to death and destruction in a country already ravaged by war and dictatorship as our leader and his US counterpart seek to end murder and mayhem by inflicting yet more suffering in a fruitless quest for righting injustice in parts of the world that have for decades been beyond the ability of any of us to tame, whether in the interests of ourselves or those at the sharp end of callous internal policies being pursued by their imposed rulers.
Bill Jackson
To achieve a no-fly zone over Darfur, Britain and Nato, with the UN, will have to develop a major airbase within range of Darfur from which to fly fighter planes. The nearest location is Chad, but France's military bases there are too small for the operations required, so the agreement of Chad must be secured to expand the facilities and the resources mobilised to get the work done speedily. In addition, Nato or its members will have to provide enough fighter jets to maintain a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week schedule. Moving along these lines will show that the international community is ready to take the steps necessary to enforce security council resolutions.
Roberta Cohen
Brookings Institution, Washington DC
If we can apologise for slavery, why not for the humanitarian tragedy in Sudan? For this is the direct result of Britain's southern Sudan policy, which from 1929 to 1956 drew lines of enmity between north and south by enforcing economic, religious and cultural separation. The aim was to prepare the south for annexation to British East Africa, but after the second world war this project was abandoned and the south was thrown on the mercies of the alienated north. The "pacification" that followed has become a genocide.

DIY Holiday Gifts for Pets and Their People
If cash is a concern and creativity overflows instead, consider your culinary or crafting skills your biggest asset at this time of year. It's time to burn the midnight oil doing what you love: making stuff. In this case, were talking creativity in the service of your pet friends and their people.
Over the years, I have used this blog to offer you everything from simple recipes and DIY pet toys to intricate (but still easy) photography projects — because I'm just crafty like that. This year, I'm putting them together so you can get some ideas for the kind of holiday gifting I love best: one that requires no exposure to a mega-mall parking lot.
iPhone or iPad photography app-apalooza: Pics are among the most accessible of DIY gifts. And with the proliferation of devices and their so-easy apps, it's a cinch to start playing with some of those pet pics still hanging around on your phone.
I know what a pain it is to transfer them over to your computer for tinkering on with one of those behemoth photo editing programs before posting them on Facebook, so why not do it all at once right on your hand-held device? Here are some of my favorite apps:
PhotoGene is the best all-purpose app I've ever used for photo cropping and style changes. Easily add conversations between pets or captions. As in this backyard vignette of a Harpie hen with Tulip's udder in the background:
CatPaint is the only app I know that'll put a cat anywhere you want one. In a picture, that is. Because you can never be too rich, too thin, or have too many cats in pictures. Here's a cat next to my significant other in front of the Arenal volcano in Costa Rica:
ColorSplash is the one I go to when I want that black and white effect with just a splash of color — as in this pic of Slummy's Halloween bandage:
Sunprints for your old-school X-rays. Want more of a challenge? Actually, this is an easy one if you use one of those now-ubiquitous "Sunprint" kits (sold at most any big-box craft store or online on Amazon) and happen to still have access to some of your pet's old X-rays. (These don't work with digital rads, sorry.)
All you do is lay your X-rays over the kit's light-sensitive photo paper, expose to sunlight, and voilá! You've got a gorgeously artistic rendering of your pet's innards.
I made a triptych for my boyfriend a few years back. He was most proud of his orthopedic implant cases, so I immortalized them for his home office.
Then there was the one I made for my cousin the same year. Her Frenchie, Hugo, had eaten something he shouldn't have. Hence, the great print of his barium study mid-way through. It all turned out well, hence the hilarity of the gift.
Doggie biscuits or crunchy kitty treats: Here's my favorite, inexpensive, fun-to-make recipe:
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 2 Tbs. brewer's yeast (optional)
- 1 egg and enough whole-wheat flour to make a slightly sticky but kneadable dough
Mix. Knead. Roll out to half-inch thickness and cut into bone shapes. Bake at 350 degrees until crisp (about 20 minutes). Cool completely before bagging in an airtight container or plastic zipper bag.
For an easier approach, just score into squares with a pizza cutter before baking. For kitty treats, score into tiny squares and bake at 200 degrees until hard (more than an hour, maybe 2).
Finally, here's the section for those of you who prefer the kind of gift that requires needlework skills. But I'm going to defer to others for this since I've not knitted a dog sweater in over two years, and the example I've got of Sophie Sue's is tattered ... and anyway, it doesn't look the same since she's no longer here to wear it. Anyhoo, here goes:
Make & Build Dog Stuff: It doesn't get more self-explanatory than that. There's lots of stuff here, but the "Whipwhir" (pronounced "wipper," we're told) is my favorite. A recycled sock and a ball. Brilliant! It requires supervision, of course.
Instructables: This great site is chock-full of dog stuff you can make using recycled yarn (from old sweaters), blue jeans and other random old clothing. Why pay oodles for those Booda chews when you've got the goods right in your closet (you know you don't wear 80 percent of that stuff anyhow).
Squidoo: There is a huge community of DIY-ers who use Squidoo to share their ideas, including great dog toys.
Embrace Pet Insurance: This is also a great source for ideas (go, Laura!). I saved this one for last because it's sooooo good as a round-up of pet toys (especially for our oft-neglected cats) that I couldn't resist including some of these pics.
I especially love the DIY cardboard chaise from Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories.
And the recycled suitcase beds from Threadbanger. (They also have a great DIY video.)
OK, all, now get to work! And feel free to point out more DIY projects I may have missed, or share what you have created.

Thousands of fans packed Tokyo Disneyland on Monday to celebrate its 30 years in business.
Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and dozens of other familiar faces from the annals of Disney history paraded through the 51-hectare park, cheered on by 15,000 people who had turned out to see them.
The resort comprises the Disneyland and DisneySea theme parks as well as three hotels, shopping malls and a monorail line that connects the facilities.
In contrast to the Disneylands in Hong Kong and France, which have sometimes struggled to attract customers, Tokyo Disney Resort is one of Japan's most popular tourist destinations, with more than 25 million visitors a year.
A total 570 million people have visited since the park opened — approximately four times Japan's population, with tourists coming from all over Asia to see Mickey and friends.
"Since its opening day in 1983, Tokyo Disney Resort has inspired the imagination of hundreds of millions of guests, becoming the most followed resort destination in Japan," said Thomas Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, at a ceremony.

When I was a child, my Mother would take me every Sunday morning for a walk on the shore of Ramlet el Baida. She'd say that it was our way of "returning back to the source". We sometimes took Mana2ish with us, and tea, and enjoyed what, as Lebanese citizens, we can sadly no longer claim as ours. Our dog would make sure we'd all get some good exercise, and we'd often come back so full of sand and salt we'd even have some in our teeth.
And it is exactly like that that I first met the Man. It must have been around 7:00 AM – we rarely ever stayed until after 8:30 – when I saw him walk into the rabid sea. I don't remember what month we were in, but I knew that I was startled as I knew the Sea to be way too cold for a swim – God knows I had already tried it myself. But the Man walked, and walked, until he was waist high into the water. There, he stopped, and proceeded to rub his arms, his neck, his beard, and so on. Realizing I had spent the last few minutes staring, and staring at someone who probably needed some intimacy, I turned back and, like any child would do, bragged to my Mother about what I had just seen; a Man braving ice-cold water (and its surprises) to bathe! We walked on, enjoying the bit of calm before the others would arrive and crowd up the area above the shore.
As we made our way up the stairs, we noticed him leaving as well. If you had ever seen this Man, Ali, when you were younger too, then you definitely remember his ingenious makeshift shoes. Ali was, and wasn't, your ordinary vagabond. His shoes were made of folded cardboard, with a ribbon used to tie the thing together. And his story made of urban legends.
It took about six years for me to find myself face to face with Ali once more, just enough time for me to finish school, and head to college. I was very pleased to see him again – he looked less pleased to be met with yet another curious teen stare. After all, there were tons of me's going about their daily business, freaking out at the next Math 201 session, but only one Man who bathes in ice-cold salt water, builds his own shoes, and whose schedule is not based around meals. To much of my delight, others referred to him as the "Genius" as well. And we all were served coffee and got our cigarettes from the same guy. And we all tried to meet this Man's stare and start a conversation, to know a little more about who he was. And if he was patient enough to start one with you, you would listen.
Unfortunately, the only conversation he deemed me worthy for was centered around the fact that "I should not speak with those [some] people [around a shop on Bliss] because they are all from the intelligentsia" (ما تحكي معهن هول كلن مخابرات. كلن مخابرات.), which he probably repeated to you, him, her, and maybe himself as well. Interestingly though, about 7 years later, what he said turned out to be somehow true.
One of the stories I was told about him went as follows: the Man was a genius – a physics professor. He had once woken up early one morning, simply crossed 'the genius line' (you know, that one line we were all so afraid to cross because of too much studying, and so always made sure to stop right before?), and had walked out on wife and kids. A gloomier variant of this legend involves the loss of the Man's family during the war, which, explained by some ambitious Psych student, could have been enough to trigger schizophrenia. A different legend had the Man walk into one of these bakeries that often popped open and shortly closed on the second half of Bliss street (you know, after that street that goes up), and solve an impossible physics homework under 5 minutes – all that without uttering one word. The Man never asked anyone for anything. And as much as we tried to know about the Man, he remained a mystery to us all.
He'd often disappear for a few days, and come back shaven, and sometimes slightly grumpier. This gave birth to other urban legends; now, he was a war hero, an undercover spy, sent on missions deemed impossible for others because no one could ever blow his cover and pierce through that poker face. The stuff of any little kid's dreams!
The truth is, no matter how we all grew, left, came back, Ali was a constant. He was the "charactère traditionnel" that billboard announces, and quite often the only Man to hang around AUB, when none of us wanted to. The reality of it all is that, no matter how many adventures he spearheaded, this Man was homeless, often taken care of by the few who, unlike many of us, acted, instead of hoped. And if most of us will remember the urban legends, only too few will think of the others who remain, walking around, borrowing a cardboard, a corner, a lighter, or time.
There are others.

Hungarian workers suffer as car crunch closes in
By Balazs Koranyi
DUNAKILITI, Hungary (Reuters) - Hungarian auto worker Ferenc Sagi has read about the world financial crisis in the papers but did not think it would have much impact on his life in this sleepy town near the Austrian border.
Now there is little else he can think about.
The global meltdown has already cost Sagi his job, and will now drag Hungary into its first recession since the early 1990s and put tens of thousands of Central Europeans out of work.
"I had watched the news about the economy but never thought it would hit us so quickly," Sagi told Reuters.
"But in a way, it's understandable... In times of trouble, this sector will be hit first."
U.S. auto sales dropped by a third in October to their lowest level in a quarter-century and European sales are off sharply, plunging 40 percent in Spain and 19 percent in Italy as recession hits both sides of the Atlantic.
Investment in cheap production in the EU's eastern wing has made the car industry a bellwether for the economy and recession is bad news for Hungary, which turned to the International Monetary Fund last month to stave off a financial default.
The IMF has helped restore some confidence and relatively cheap labor has continued to draw foreign investment this year. But the economy is only beginning to feel the pain, and the car industry is the canary in the coalmine. Continued...

Competition pushes rating for MediaTek down to 'sell'
CNA Tuesday, October 2, 2012, 12:03 pm TWN
TAIPEI -- CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets has downgraded its stock rating on Taiwanese chip designer MediaTek Inc. from "underperform" to "sell" because of intense competition and poor margin outlook.
In a report dated Sept. 27, CLSA said the market was optimistic about MediaTek's gross margin in the second half of 2012 and in 2013 after the company forecast gross margin expansion for the third quarter of this year that would end 11 consecutive quarters of contraction.
However, MediaTek's management told the press on Sept. 25 that the company's quarterly gross margin growth is likely to remain flat in the fourth quarter of this year and will not expand until the second half of 2013, the report said.
"This is slower than general expectations, which anticipated consecutive quarterly margin growth from the third quarter of 2012," CK Cheng, a Taipei-based analyst at CLSA, wrote in the report.
"This reinforces our belief that the market has underestimated the competition, which will push down MediaTek's average selling price and margin," he said.
On Sept. 27, U.S. chip-maker Qualcomm Inc. announced its first low-cost quad-core smart phone integrated circuit (IC) MSM8225Q, which is aimed at China and other emerging markets and will compete directly with MediaTek's similar MT6588.
One of the reasons investors were optimistic about MediaTek's 2013 margin was that they thought its new quad-core MT6588 chip had no competition, as Qualcomm made only very high-end quad-core ICs, Cheng said.
But the launch of the MSM8225Q will change that perception, Cheng said, noting that Qualcomm is aiming to release the chip for customer sampling by the end of 2012 and ship in volume in the first quarter of 2013.
Although the Qualcomm chip is scheduled to be launched a month or two later than MediaTek's, Qualcomm's price is likely to be 5-percent cheaper because of lower specifications, he said.
While MediaTek is believed to have superior products and better low-end smartphone ICs than Qualcomm, price does matter to Chinese handset makers, Cheng added.
"This is the main reason why MediaTek has been struggling to lift its average selling price and improve its margin since the third quarter of 2011, although it continues to offer faster processors and multi-core solutions," he said.
"We don't think MediaTek's quad-core solution can reverse this trend," Cheng said.
As for Chinese competitors, the increased production of RDA Microelectronics Inc.'s connectivity combo chip and Spreadtrum Communications Inc.'s 2G smart phone ICs will also weigh further on MediaTek's margins and average selling price, Cheng said.
CLSA raised its forecast for MediaTek's earnings per share by 3 percent for 2012 and by 8 percent for 2013, factoring in the company's acquisition of its smaller rival MStar Semiconductor Inc., but the brokerage maintained its target price of NT$250 on the stock.

Size of Garage Door Torsion Spring
Recently, one of my garage door torsion springs was broken. I will ask a professional to replace the torsion springs. Before I call them, I want to know if the torsion springs can be replaced by the little large springs.
The size of my broken torsion spring is 22' length, 2' internal diameter, 0.207' wire diameter. I am thinking to replace two torsion springs with the size of 22' length, 2' internal diameter, 0.218' wire diameter. From the research online, the 0.207' wire diameter spring is rated as 90 lb, and the 0.218' wire diameter spring is rated as 100 lb.
Is there any problem to replace the 0.207' wire diameter spring with the 0.218' wire diameter spring?
Thank you in advance!
The door will go up faster but will require additional force to get and keep it down. If you have an opener, it will cause a premature failure of the unit as the opener is engineered to guide a door, not hoist it up and down.
Thank you all for the advices! I will check with the people who will replace the springs for this.

Tiger Woods Testy Exchange With A Reporter [VIDEO]
Tiger Woods is, arguably, the greatest golfer that ever lived. But did he ever consider leaving the links and becoming a Navy Seal? "Yes", according to his former swing coach Hank Haney who described the possibility in his book about Tiger called "The Big Miss". Tiger has said he will refuse to answer any questions about the book and yesterday he kept true to his word leading to this testy exchange with reporter Alex Miceli.
One has to wonder if Tiger's "Have a good day" comment at the end was truly heartfelt and sincere. Something tells me no.

Deal Fuels Seamless Integration of Dodge's Market-Leading Content into Construction Workflow
NEW YORK– March 23, 2016 – Dodge Data & Analytics, the leading provider of subscription-based intelligence and analytics to the North American construction industry, today announced the acquisition of Vancouver, BC-based data management firm Ingenium Technologies Corporation, a proven technology provider to the ENR Top 400. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Integration of Ingenium's ConstructionPoints family of products into the Dodge product portfolio will be immediate, as the two companies have worked closely together for sixteen years.
"Big data is how business runs, and this deal is about making Dodge's big data accessible across the construction industry.

"At Dodge, our mission is to partner with our customers to build a better world, and this deal demonstrates our commitment to deliver enhanced tools, applications, solutions, and actionable insights to the market and empower our customers to outpace their competitors."
Ingenium began developing its software platforms in 1995; Dodge began a distribution partnership with the company in 2000. The companies share approximately 150 customers, among them the largest and most complex in the construction industry.
"Ingenium has long recognized Dodge's leadership in construction market intelligence and content, and we have served North America's leading building product manufacturers and other construction professionals in close concert. We are pleased to accelerate our service to the construction community with this transaction, which allows us to greatly enhance our delivery of the most effective, efficient, innovative solutions to our customers," said Ingenium President Howard Evans.
Ingenium's applications are widely used to deepen workflow integration of the information provided by Dodge, Industrial Information Resources (PEC), Dun & Bradstreet and other data sets. Its products include ConstructionPoints for Salesforce, the only dedicated Salesforce app for construction sales leads, which provides for automated integration of Dodge's data sets directly into Salesforce; and ConstructionPoints News, which provides fully mobile Dodge data access for smartphones and tablets, integrated with Google Maps and providing custom alerts.
Dodge's acquisition of Ingenium and ConstructionPoints follows closely its recent announcement of its strategic partnership with Global Product Data, LLC and the ensuing launch of Sweets app for Revit. This investment further solidifies Dodge's position as the one-stop shop for workflow and software solutions that serve its customers' need for data-driven intelligence.
In addition to its new Vancouver office, Dodge Data & Analytics is based in New York, NY with operations in Arlington, TX; Bedford, MA; Cincinnati, OH; Hightstown, NJ; and Monrovia, CA.

Kathy P - Queensland, Australia - Oct 12, 2015
"I was very impressed with the service I received!! I wanted a special gift delivered to a special person in Turkey and this was accomplished thanks to all of you! The customer service was very professional and considerate. I was notified of every step and was also able to make substitutions due to delays, which were not due to the company. I don't know of a single other company that takes the time to personally call their customers to be sure a quality product is delivered and picked up in the same condition. Thank you all for your wonderful service :)"
Michelle - Oklahoma, USA - February 20, 2013
"Excellent products, promptness and amiability. The gift I ordered from Lima, Peru for my daughter was delivered at scheduled time. My daughter told me it was of excellent quality and the lady who brought it was really nice to her. I would definitely recommend this service."
Dalila Cavero - Lima, Peru - June 6, 2012
"It's great to find some online businesses who are able to provide a fast response by email and phone. I was able to call them even at 1 am and someone was always there to answer questions about my corporate order. My family has relatives in Italy and my husband is German, so we were lucky to find a place that delivered almost anywhere in Europe and US. Their prices are on a higher end, yet their customer service and speed of delivery was something I didn't mind paying for."

Purification and characterisation of cytochrome c' from Neisseria meningitidis
Huston, Wilhelmina M., Lowe, Elisabeth C., Butler, Clive S., & Moir, James W. B. (2005) Purification and characterisation of cytochrome c' from Neisseria meningitidis. Biochemical Society Transactions, 33(5), pp. 187-191.
Cytochrome c', a c-type cytochrome with unique spectroscopic and magnetic properties, has been characterized in a variety of denitrifying and photosynthetic bacteria. Cytochrome c' has a role in defence and/or removal of NO but the mechanism of action is not clear. To examine the function of cytochrome c' from Neisseria meningitidis, the protein was purified after heterologous overexpression in Escherichia coli. The electronic spectra of the oxidized c' demonstrated a pH-dependent transition (over the pH range of 6-10) typical of known c'-type cytochromes. Interestingly, the form in which NO is supplied determines the redox state of the resultant haem-nitrosyl complex. Fe(III)-NO complexes were formed when Fe(II) or Fe(III) cytochrome c' was sparged with NO gas, whereas an Fe(II)-NO complex was generated when NO was supplied using DEA NONOate (diazeniumdiolate).

The War on Poverty After 40 Years: A Minskyan Assessment
From this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Twenty to 25 years ago, a debate was under way in academe and in the popular press over the War on Poverty (WOP). One group of scholars argued that the war, initiated by Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, had been lost, owing to the inherent ineffectiveness of government welfare programs. Charles Murray and other scholars argued that welfare programs only encouraged shiftlessness and burdened federal and state budgets. In recent years, despite the fact that the extent of poverty has not significantly diminished since the early 1970s, the debate over poverty has seemingly ended. In a country in which middle-class citizens struggle to afford health insurance and other necessities, the problems of the worstoff Americans seem to many remote and less than pressing. Moreover, the welfare reform bill of 1996 has deflected much of the criticism of the welfare state by ending the individual-level entitlement to Aid to Families with Dependent Children benefits (now known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) and putting time limits on welfare recipiency, among other measures.

by Anti-Racist Parent Columnist, Karen Walrond, originally published at Chookooloonks
Back in August, a commenter asked what I thought of this article. It was written by a Lisa Lerner, a Jewish-American woman who adopted transracially from India, and who, as it turns out, ended up having trouble handling the fact that her daughter was dark: "even Blacks and Indians in Vaishali's and my social circle are lighter than she," she says. She concludes, "We need darker friends."
Ignoring for a moment the ridiculousness of this last statement (what's she going to do, start making friends on the basis of skin colour? "Hi, I'm Lisa. My daughter's dark — like you, actually. I was wondering: will you be our friend?"), the general content of her article, as you can imagine, unleashed a flood of comments. Some people praised her for her courage in admitting something that was clearly difficult to admit, others blatantly called her a racist, and still others wondered why the hell she would adopt internationally when "there were plenty of children needing a home in America." I'll admit upfront that I read very few of these responses, because frankly, they didn't jibe with my initial reaction. My first thought was, "this doesn't surprise me in the least."
See, I have a theory: as superficial as it sounds, I think all prospective parents have an idea of what they hope their child will look like. "I hope the baby has my wife's eyes," a man might think. "God help me if she has my mother-in-law's nose," an expectant mother may shudder. It's human nature to imagine what your family is going to look like — and therefore no different for adoptive parents. For this reason, I think to state that "race shouldn't matter" when adopting is naive — race does matter. When we were considering adoption, Marcus and I specifically wanted a multiracial child, because we're an interracial couple (although what races made up the "multiracial" were much less of an issue). Even when a couple chooses to adopt transracially, if they're smart, they will have considered whether or not they can handle all of the issues that can arise when their kids don't look like their parents do, and therefore the adoption is obvious on its face. Race matters, make no mistake.
The question, therefore, is not whether the baby looks like you expected her to, but whether you can handle it if she doesn't. And this, my friends, takes some serious soul-searching — a flippant "of course I can, I'm not racist, I have friends of all colours" is not enough. It requires honestly looking at biases that you may have based on others' skin colour, or culture, or nationality, and really being frank with yourself as to where any discomfort you feel comes from. It requires, if you choose to adopt transracially or transculturally, exploring, on a deep level, why you feel drawn to one race (or culture or nationality) or another. And frankly, it behooves you to do this WAY AHEAD OF TIME — when your child comes home to you is probably a bit late.
As you can imagine, for some this can be a very uncomfortable exercise, since it may involve uncovering some less-than-attractive traits. The good news, however, is you don't have to tell anyone. For once, it's really no one's business why you choose to adopt internationally, or transculturally or transracially — or hell, why you don't — and if anyone asks, you can just smile and say something vague like, "it's just what feels right." (That said, if you do uncover some biases based on stereotypes, for your own good, you probably want to work on that — but that's a conversation for another time).
I guess my thoughts on this were cemented some time back: a few years ago, Marcus and I heard of a situation similar to Lerner's. In this case, a couple returned their infant baby to the placing adoption agency during the six-month period pending finalization of adoption, because their African-American child was "too dark." What made this story particularly startling was that the couple were themselves African-American. I remember first thinking how preposterous I thought their position was, but you know what? Ultimately, they did the right thing: if they weren't equipped to raise the baby to be proud of who s/he was, then thank God they gave another couple the chance to do so. As for Lerner, well — I guess I wish her the best. It's too bad she didn't confront her preconceptions before little Vaishali came home, but whatever. Here's hoping she works through them now — for both their sakes.
Anyway, that's my take on the matter – feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments. Oh and one more thing:
No one said this adoption stuff was easy.
Formerly an attorney, Karen Walrond is now a writer and photographer who has contribued to such parenting publications as Blogging Baby and AlphaMom.

Iron Horse Classic Vintage Brut 2007
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of grapefruit, Key lime and hazelnut. Flavors of mandarin orange, ripe red apple, autolyzed yeast with a long finish.
Classic Vintage Brut is a food lover that shines in the presence of all things spicy, salty or fried. Its classic partner would be a perfectly roasted chicken infused with flavors of fresh thyme and Meyer lemon. Eggs Benedict, lobster mac and cheese or French fries with truffle salt pair beautifully, while spicy tuna tartare makes for a sublime hors d'oeuvre.
Critical Acclaim
Seamless from start to finish, both rich and elegantly sleek. Floral Asian pear and creamy almond aromas lead to complex and delicately balanced flavors of lively lemon and raspberry, plus ginger and spice. The finish lingers beautifully.

DHCP is a network protocol that among other things can dynamically distribute IP addresses and other network setting to computers. When DHCP is used together with Internet connection sharing in Firestarter, the need to individually configure the client machine's TCP/IP settings on the local area network is removed. With DHCP, the process of connecting a new client to the network is as easy as plugging it in.
Specifically, when the DHCP service is enabled in Firestarter, a DHCP server is started on the firewall machine that distributes DHCP leases to the client machines. A lease supplies the clients with all the information needed to connect to the network. This information includes a unique IP address for each client, the default gateway, the subnet mask and the domain name servers in use. DHCP leases are always given with the understanding between client and server that the lease is valid only for a limited time.
Note: Firestarter does not itself include a DHCP server, it depends on the underlying system to provide this feature. The system does not need to have the DHCP server configured, or running. It is sufficient that the dhcpd program is located on the system, after that Firestarter will manage the DHCP server completely on the user's behalf.
If a DHCP binary is not detected on the system, the DHCP controls will remain inactive
|Packages that need to be installed for the Firestarter DHCP service to function
|Package name
|Installed with
|Red Hat 9, Fedora Core
|"yum install dhcp"
|"apt-get install dhcp"
|"urpmi dhcp-server"
|"emerge dhcp"
|Manually during system install or from RPM
The DHCP service can be configured from the firewall wizard, or from the preferences. By checking the "Enable DHCP for local network" option on the connection sharing setup screen the service is activated upon the completion of the wizard or saving of the preferences. Note that DHCP is only available in conjunction with Internet connection sharing, and the DHCP service is only provided to machines connected to the local area network. This way Firestarter does not interfere with the DHCP systems of Internet service providers.
Optionally a few details related to the DHCP server can be configured from the graphical interface. By clicking the "DHCP server details" label or arrow, new options become available. It is possible to change the range of IP addresses that is distributed to clients by changing the values of the lowest and highest IP address to assign controls. By default Firestarter will distribute IP addresses in the 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.254 range. The IP range can be freely manipulated, but must fall within the constraints created by the network address and netmask of the local area network connected network adapter.
Finally, the name server can be specified freely. Both dotted decimal IP addresses and hostnames of name servers are accepted. It is also possible to specify several servers at once by entering a comma separated list of servers. A special value of <dynamic> can also be specified, in which case the name servers are determined dynamically at run time from the firewall server's network settings. This is especially useful if the firewall server itself is using DHCP and the provider's name servers are subject to change. The default is to determine the name servers dynamically.
The option to keep an existing DHCP configuration is available if Firestarter detects that a DHCP configuration is already present on the system. This option has several uses. If you have manually configured a DHCP server on your system previously, it is possible to have Firestarter only manage the server process without touching the actual configuration. Alternatively, you can take the Firestarter generated DHCP configuration and extend it, safe in the knowledge that Firestarter will not overwrite it later on without your permission. There exists a number of interesting DHCP related features you can configure yourself, including whitelisting based on MAC hardware addresses, specifying static IPs for specific hosts, dividing machines into different classes and configurations, providing boot images for network terminals etc. See the dhcpd.conf and dhcpd man pages for more information.
The Firestarter generated DHCP configuration is stored as /etc/dhcpd.conf.

Battling the bully
Tue Jun 26 2007
Despite school rules and parental efforts, school bullying appears to be as pervasive a phenomenon as education itself. Where there's an elementary or middle school, there will also be a preteen aggressor terrorizing a mortified classmate. Now, some schools are trying out new tactics to curb the bullying epidemic once and for all. The Bully Busters Boot Camp in Yorktown and the more widely used Olweus Bullying Prevention Program teach kids proactive ways to stand up to bullies and keep from becoming ones themselves. The Olweus approach teaches tactics for individual intervention, stresses communication between parents, students and the administration and helps formulate school-wide rules. Lower Hudson Online reported today that the Bully Busters Boot Camp featured street-smart tactics from a former NYPD detective, but the article didn't delve into the particular techniques further. Helping kids eliminate their fears and develop a healthy sense of self-confidence is always commendable. It's unlikely that future generations will stop turning out bullies altogether, but we are certainly interested in seeing the long-term accomplishments of these programs.Share your thoughts

Education Students Travel to Chicago
Posted by Jenna Ray on Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2013
Seventeen University of Minnesota, Morris elementary education seniors recently completed week-long practicums in the Chicago Public Schools district. Now in its twentieth year, the program is led by Professors of Elementary Education Carol Cook and Gwen Rudney.
According to Cook, the Chicago-practicum program began as an attempt to provide more cross-cultural classroom placement experiences for future teachers. What started as an experiment with just seven elementary education majors in 1994 has mushroomed into a multifaceted approach to teacher training. Over time, Cook and Rudney have partnered with 12 Chicago-area schools as well as the College of Education at Chicago State University to provide more than 300 participants the chance to teach and learn from a wide variety of students.
"The trip was an extremely humbling experience," says Evan Reller '14, Melrose. "I observed some excellent teachers implementing some incredible teaching practices, even with limited resources."
The trip provides students an opportunity to see Chicago and gain valuable insight into the teaching profession. During the day they are immersed in one of three partner schools. At night students gather to discuss their experiences and how they differ from those they have had in Minnesota.
"It's a bonding experience for the class," says Cook. "We live together. We cry together. We get frustrated together. You never know what's going to happen, but it's been such a positive experience."
She notes that because the Division of Education's mission is to prepare teaching candidates to "teach all students in all places," the Chicago trip is a vital opportunity for teaching candidates "to have different experiences with diverse populations of students." This breadth of training prepares them to teach "in Minnesota and beyond."
"I got to see a lot of diversity just in my own classroom, which had about nine different nationalities represented," says Andelee Quast '14, Big Lake. She notes that although her "class was very large and overwhelming at times," she learned from her cooperating teacher "to be ready for every situation."
Cook believes the program impacts more than just the student participants, though. She argues that it benefits both the faculty organizers and the education division as a whole. Furthermore, she adds that it takes steps toward eliminating the country's achievement gap by providing teaching candidates the tools they need to educate and motivate diverse learners. For these reasons and more, Cook feels confident that the Chicago practicum has blossomed into "a very successful program."
Additional information on teacher education at Morris is available online.

If its something to worry over then stick with stock. But, when you get an upgraded flywheel, why the hell would you go and take the fun away by not getting a new clutch too!
Yeah thats strange, I guess we spoke with different people. The guy I spoke with didn't seem to highly regard it.

Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (TX-26), Vice Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health and Chairman of the Congressional Health Care Caucus, released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed H.R. 6079, Repeal of Obamacare Act, by a vote of 244 to 185.
"Americans should have the freedom to make their own health care decisions. In March of 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. It was drafted quickly and behind closed doors. It included secret deals, loopholes, drafting errors, and allowed federal agencies to be created without Congressional knowledge or oversight. The bottom line, it was not the way to achieve meaningful reform. In addition, the Supreme Court ruled just last month that the law is in fact a tax -- this is after President Obama continually told the American people that it was not a tax.
"The health care system in America needs reform and improvements, but the law that was passed will cost American taxpayers trillions of dollars, will not improve care, nor will it make care more affordable. We need to start fresh and need to address the issues with common sense improvements that focus on the real issues at hand: creating a health care system that is focused on patients instead of payments, quality instead of quantity, affordability instead of cheapness, and innovation instead of stagnation.
"The first step is eliminating bad legislation that simply does not work. So today I voted to repeal the president's health care law. It is important that the American people know where their elected representatives stand on this issue and clearly the Senate needs to take up this legislation."
