The Hilleberg Anjan 2 is quite possibly the best backcountry hunting tent on the market for a 2 man tent. At 3.5lbs when split up you are looking at 1.7lbs roughly per person for an outstanding shelter. Just the right combination of being a compact and light tent with enough room inside to wait out a storm and get some good sleep in. The tunnel design of the tent is remarkably effective at providing ventilation to keep condensation to a minimum while still allowing the tent to be incredibly warm inside. Hilleberg recommends this as a 3 season tent but I would not hesitate for a second to take this on a winter backpacking trip.I had the pleasure last year to test out and use the new Hilleberg Anjan 2 backpacking tent on a handful of backcountry hunting trips.
After spending more than 20 nights in the tent over the course of 6 weeks I can honestly say it is without a doubt the nicest backcountry hunting tent I have ever used. I know there is a little bit of sticker shock at the price of $595 and you could absolutely get by just fine with a tent half the cost. However if you are looking for a tent that will last you for 20+ years and will take the abuse and punishment that backcountry hunting puts on your gear I do not think there is a better option and that initial investment will pay for itself 10 fold. Vestibule is very large and allows you to store your gear, packs and bow inside and out of the weather.
Pitching the tent is very easy and takes less than 2 minutes to do. You can actually pitch the entire tent using only 4 stakes and and the poles. There are guy lines located in 4 different spots so you can really tighten up the fly in extreme weather situations if needed. On a August scouting trip my hunting partner and I got caught in an intense summer thunder storm and the winds approached near 40 mph. We were able to set up the tent and crawl inside to weather out the storm and were both incredibly impressed with just how well the tent took the abuse.u are looking for a outstanding, lightweight and extremely well built tent I highly recommend the Hilleberg Anjan 2.
An outstanding company that provides excellent advice, great customer service and sells only the best products.
Cant recommend using S & S Archery enough!
I used this tent this year on 4 different backcontry hunting trips. The weight, size and build quality of this tent is outstanding. Split up between two guys we were packing under 2lbs each for a shelter! I will be recommending this to any of my friends looking for an outstanding backcountry hunting tent.

Troop levels in Iraq likely to remain above 130,000

WASHINGTON — More than 130,000 U.S. troops are likely to remain in Iraq next summer after the withdrawal of five combat brigades, military officials familiar with U.S. deployments said Wednesday.
U.S. Iraq commander Army Gen. David Petraeus told Congress in testimony earlier this week that he would recommend that the number of combat brigades in Iraq be reduced by next July, and President Bush is expected to endorse that proposal in a nationally televised speech Thursday.
In his testimony, Petraeus never used the 130,000 figure that has been widely reported in the media. Instead, Petraeus said that he would recommend leaving 15 combat brigades in Iraq.
"We haven't figured out specific troop numbers at this time," said Col. Steve Boylan, Petraeus' spokesman. "We are focused on combat power."
In his testimony, Petraeus called for five of the 20 combat brigades in Iraq to leave by next July, bringing the number of brigades down to pre-surge levels of 15 combat brigades. He didn't say how the remaining 15 brigades would translate into troop numbers.
The first reference to 130,000 came during Tuesday morning's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, when Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., asked U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker what leverage the U.S. would have with the Iraqi government if the U.S. left 130,000 troops in place. Crocker didn't repeat the number in his answer.
In the afternoon, Petraeus avoided the figure when Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., asked about it.
"Well, correct me if I'm wrong," Nelson said. "I clearly got the impression this morning that you think what we will have is 130,000 of our U.S. troops over there by the end of next summer."
Petraeus responded: "Sir, what I have said is we will have 15 brigade combat teams, and then we'll have to shape what the rest of the force is at that time and determine whether — because we've actually had to bring some additional forces in above and beyond this because of detainee operations, IED (improvised explosive device) task forces and other things that are there. "
When the Pentagon announced that the surge had begun, there were approximately 137,000 troops in Iraq. Currently, there are more than 160,000.
Under Petraeus' plan, the U.S. would begin reducing the number of troops in September when a Marine Expeditionary Unit will end its tour of duty and not be replaced. Two Marine battalions also will end their deployments in Anbar province, officials said.
An Army brigade won't be replaced when it returns to the U.S. in December, though there were suggestions that military officials had already planned not to replace the unit before Petraeus announced his proposal.
In July, the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Armored Division, which had been scheduled to replace a brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division that's scheduled to return in December, announced that it wouldn't be ready to redeploy. The Army never announced which unit would go instead. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd brigades of the 1st Cavalry Division, from Fort Hood, Texas, are still scheduled to end their tours in Iraq in December. Two brigades will be replaced.
Four other Army brigades are scheduled to leave next year and won't be replaced, according to the general's plan.
According to the plan, not only would the number of brigades drop, so would the number taking the lead during combat missions in Iraq. Currently, just over 10 brigades are taking the lead in Iraq. Once the drawdown begins, there would only be six, a chart presented by Petraeus showed.
The number of brigades partnering with their Iraqi counterparts would remain the same, around four.

Haties owner Tony Alvarez is planning a Cuban restaurant in the old El Padrino taco stand. We've heard it's Cuban tacos, and it's called C Señor.
Potato Flats, a concept from Phil Romano at Trinity Groves, opens Tuesday, July 1.
Bishop Cider Co. hosts its grand opening from 3-10 p.m. Saturday, July 19. Tickets cost $22 and include a 32-ounce growler, filled for $10; a flight of the brewery's own three inaugural ciders; and a slice from Zoli's.
Souk, the Trinity Groves restaurant that initially received poor reviews and changed chefs early on, has turned things around, according to this review from D.
Smoke is nearing its five-year anniversary, and it received a good review from the Observer.
I think Bishop Arts Cider Co. describes themselves as a "cidery" instead of a "brewery". It's also good to see Souk staying on its feet and Smoke still getting the attention it deserves.


My mother has always been a light in my life. She emits positivity effortlessly. You can tell, from being in her presence, that she glows from the inside out – a radiant energy. I've been so lucky to have such an incredible person raise and nurture me even through my "adult" life. Though not everyone is as lucky, there are so many wonderful mothers that will get some well deserved appreciation this week.
Gratitude is something we speak about often in the yoga community. It is something that many of us would like to practice more often, but sometimes it takes a prompt – your yoga teacher reminding you to thank yourself for taking the time to practice, or international days of recognition – for us to take note of the things we cherish. When we practice yoga and meditation, we are able to clear our minds of the unimportant things constantly running through our heads. The clarity that mindfulness brings allows time for reflection on those things that are important. And, taking even just a moment to ponder the things that we appreciate or are grateful for helps us to relish in those things and those moments.
This Mother's Day I am sharing a passion of mine with my mom by bringing her to yoga with me. On Sunday May 8th you can bring your mom in for a free yoga class at any of our Yoga Tree locations! Bringing your mom to a class is a great way to share with her what makes you the person you are, and sharing that experience is truly special.
Those of you with newborns up to 16 months should consider joining our Mommy and Baby Workshop. The workshop will be offered at our Yonge and Eglinton (Midtown) studio starting Thursday May 12, 2016. It will run for four weeks and you can participate in all four sessions for $60 or pay a $20 drop in rate per class. The workshop is a great opportunity to practice with your child, strengthening the bond between mom and infant. Elysia, a senior instructor and new mother, will take you through sequences that will keep your both you and your baby engaged, while allowing you the time to practice. You will experience flowing asanas, challenging postures, and calming restorative time. And, you can get your child in to yoga at a young age! Baby yoga exercises will help to strengthen growing muscles, aid in digestion, and promote better sleeping patterns. You can see our Workshops page to sign up, and for terms and conditions.
Thank you mamas for all that you do! You give selflessly, teach us some of life's most important lessons, and you love unconditionally. We love you!

I have only a few minutes to spare now before going on parade; I hadn't time to write last night as we all had to go to a concert and arrived back about 9.15pm. It was not so bad as I expected it would be; there was one good turn a Celo solo and obligato to two songs one of wich was "Un peu d'amour". Three of the boys were dressed as girls and the dresses and make up were very good. I won't see much of C.G. now as he is in another Regt. "R.W.K." I will keep up correspondence with him; he is in the same Brigade as me.
Thanks for mag & programme, I didn't know one of the songs I must be getting behind the times. I don't get much practice for singing or playing now; singing of the march does more harm than good to ones voice. I will write another letter this afternoon so will conclude now to catch the post.


suppose i know only field name.how to find table name?
suppose i know the field name.but i don't know the table name in which that field is exiting.i want to find out the table.how i have to approach for this requirement.
ABAP Directory-> Fields-> table fields.
go to transaction SE11 and use display datatype.
Inside this view you can use "Referenz" STR-SHIFT-F3.
give ur field name. take a particular table .
give the table name, take the cursor to the particular field and click on the where used list to get the other tables where the field is used.
goto table DD03L and give your filed name in field name column. and execute.
Goto tcode->SE84,then press on fields,then table fields.Give the field name and execute.U will see the field used in different tables.
to find the table name from the data element i.e. the field name. First go to SE11, there type the field name in the Data Element tab and then go to the toolbar on the top and press the WHERE-USED-LIST and then it displays the list of tables where the given field has been used and from that you can choose the required table depending on your requirement.
There are many ways to find.
1. Go to domain of that field, go to value range tab there u will find value table.
2. If not present go to DD03L , in selection screen of it give field name , u will get all table names in which that field exists.
3. Or you can do it by SE80 also as explained earlier..

Really polished game with great graphics/animations and a very interesting gameplay idea.
Small clues about where to go. Not exactly something too obvious like arrows, but something subtler would work great.
Destructible walls should be different than normal walls, again a subtle difference.
Hitboxes on the terrain are a little off sometimes, you can jump through some rocks.
Player gets too much momentum and feels slippery. It can make some jumps tricky.
With clever level design that forces you use the throw mechanics in a strategic way this will be a great game.


My kids LOVE paper air planes. No really. They waste so much of my printer paper folding and folding trying to make the best paper airplane EVER. Over the years they have gone from the Klutz Paper Airplane book to studying how-tos on websites to combining their favorite folds to create their own paper airplane designs.
Today, I am bringing you step-by-step paper airplane instructions for The Duck. Don't ask where the name came from, who knows how the mind of a 12 year old boy works!
This paper airplane was created and designed by my 12 year old son, who wanted paper airplane that flies far.
This plane works really well! It is a glider that uses wind to help keep it in flight longer and it does a few stunts- like loops before sailing over the grass. After the instructions, I've included some tips for flying this paper airplane, PLUS a video to see it in action!
I've provided step by step instructions for how to make this paper airplane design. Sometimes pictures are easier to understand than words for learning how to create things! Let's get started!
Take a standard sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper.
Fold in in half long ways, then unfold.
Fold the top edges in so that they line up with the center line. At this point, this should look very similar to the most basic paper airplane design.
Fold the top point down so that it touches the bottom edge of the paper.
Fold the side edges in as shown in picture number 7.
Fold the top back down along the top edge of the folds made in the previous step.
Flip the paper air plane over, and fold in half towards you.
Fold the the wing back as shown in image 11. The wing will be at a slight angle.
Flip over and fold the second wing in the same manner.

Q: Call Javascript function with parameters inside PHP I have a javascript function which has some parameters (an array). I want to call it inside php. Following is my code
 <script type="text/javascript">

<?php

$task_list=array();
        foreach($tasks as $row2){

            $task_list=$row2;
        }

         echo "display_diagram(".$task_list.");";

        ?>

function display_diagram(var1){

     .........................
     .........................

 }

When I call it without any parameter it is working (I could displayed the content in javascript function. But when I give the parameter( it is an array it dose not working. Could you give this a solution?

A: The usual practice here is to create a separate PHP file that outputs JSON data and fetch that data using an AJAX request. Below is an example of including JSON data inline, but I wouldn't typically recommend doing it like this, especially if the data is quite large.

Use json_encode() to convert a PHP variable into something that can be used in JavaScript. With an associative array, you'll get a JavaScript object like {"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}. With a non-associatve array, you'll get a JavaScript array like [1,2,3,4,5].
<script>
<?php
    $tasks = array(
        145 => array(
            'name' => 'Sorting Task',
            'owner' => 'user1'
        ),
        2343 => array(
            'name' => 'Processing Task',
            'owner' => 'user2'
        ),
        7266 => array(
            'name' => 'Another Task',
            'owner' => 'user1'
        ),
        8373 => array(
            'name' => 'Lorem Ipsum Task',
            'owner' => 'user3'
        )
    );
    echo 'display_diagram(' . json_encode($tasks) . ')';
?>

function display_diagram(tasks) {
    $.each(tasks, function (id, task) {
        console.log('Task #' + id + ': name=' + task.name + ', owner=' + task.owner);
    });
}
</script>

The JavaScript above uses jQuery to process the object. It should output the following in the JavaScript console:
Task #145: name=Sorting Task, owner=user1
Task #2343: name=Processing Task, owner=user2
Task #7266: name=Another Task, owner=user1
Task #8373: name=Lorem Ipsum Task, owner=user3

ProLibris ist eine bibliothekarische Fachzeitschrift, die vom Verband der Bibliotheken des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (vbnw) herausgegeben wird. Die Zeitschrift erscheint vierteljährlich in einer Auflage von 1000 Exemplaren und wird von der Druckerei Pomp in Bottrop hergestellt.

Geschichte
ProLibris trat 1996 an die Stelle des von 1948 bis 1995 veröffentlichten Mitteilungsblatts des Verbandes. Mit dem Namenswechsel war auch eine konzeptionelle Neuorientierung verbunden. Das bisherige Verbandsorgan mit einem hohen Anteil spezieller Fachaufsätze war nach Meinung der Verantwortlichen zu einem "Insiderblatt" geworden, das kaum geeignet schien, für die Sache der Bibliotheken zu werben. Für die neue Publikation kam es nicht nur zu einem Umstieg auf das Format DIN A4, damit verbunden war auch ein ansprechenderes Layout mit zahlreichen Illustrationen und einem zweifarbigen Druck.

In ProLibris ging die von der Landeskonferenz der Staatlichen Büchereistellen Nordrhein-Westfalen herausgegebene Zeitschrift Biblio auf, die bis dato auf das öffentliche Bibliothekswesen in NRW zugeschnitten war. Daher treten die Bezirksregierungen des Landes mit ihren Dezernaten "Öffentliche Bibliotheken" als Mitherausgeber von ProLibris in Erscheinung.

Inhalt und Abonnement
Das einzelne Heft hat in der Regel einen Umfang von 48 Seiten. Der Inhalt besteht aus zahlreichen kürzeren Beiträgen, die sich hauptsächlich den Rubriken "Denkanstösse", "Innovationen", "Entdeckungen", "Konzepte" und "Verband" zuordnen lassen.

ProLibris ist seit dem Jahrgang 2005 eine kostenpflichtige Abonnementzeitschrift, zuvor war ihr Bezug im vbnw-Mitgliedsbeitrag enthalten.

Everyone plans to retire. Most would like to retire sooner rather than later but, unfortunately, that doesn't always happen - especially when divorce comes into the picture. We all have a picture of retirement in our heads. For some it's traveling around the world, maybe visiting family and enjoying your spouse's company. You've been saving for years and years; the time is getting closer each and every day. Then, the divorce happens. Money gets dumped into the divorce and your assets are being split. How will you live on one income? Even more dire of a question, how will you retire?
Social security plays a big role for many individuals when planning for retirement. However, there are benefits for divorced spouses that a lot of people aren't aware of.
If you have been married for 10 years or more, have been divorced for at least two, and have not remarried, you're able to claim social security benefits from your ex-spouse once you reach age 62. You can take 50% of theirs or 100% of yours, whichever is higher.
If you have been married for 10 years or more, have been divorced for at least two, and have not remarried but your ex-spouse has died, you're able to claim from their benefit starting at age 60.
Your divorced spousal benefits will not increase after you spouse's full retirement age so it doesn't make sense to take them any later than that date.
If you have been married several times, each for over 10 years, you have been divorced for at least two years and have not remarried, you're able to choose which ex-spouse's benefit you would like to receive (naturally you'll pick the highest).
If you were born before January 2, 1954 and have already reached full retirement age, you can choose to receive only the divorced spousal benefit and delay receiving your retirement benefit until a later date which will allow it to grow. However, if your birthday falls after that date then you are no longer able to file and suspend.
If you choose to take your divorced spouse benefits, the amount of benefits you receive does not affect the amount your ex-spouse will receive.
There are many aspects and rules that play into social security. These rules are listed on the social security website today but could be subject to change. It is important to speak with a financial advisor that understands these rules in regards to your specific situation before making decisions. Just as you worked with a family law attorney or mediator through your divorce, it's recommended that you work with a financial advisor that has specialized knowledge with the financial aspects of divorce as well.
Angelique Ayala is a financial advisor that has specialized knowledge in dealing with divorce. She has founded Dear Divorcee, an organization that provides educational workshops and social events for women in the DC metro area to receive information and support. Angelique is a guest speaker at Second Saturday, a seminar geared towards providing information to women in the beginning of the divorce process, and a guest blogger on many divorce and money topics.

Punishing parents
The campaign against smacking is based on the poisonous notion that children need to be saved from their parents.
Topics Politics
It is a sign of the times that most British commentators take the view that the amendment to the Children Bill passed by the House of Lords is a 'fudge' or a 'sensible compromise'.
This so-called compromise criminalises parents who punish their children with anything more than a light tap. Parents are threatened with prosecution and a jail sentence if a smack leads to grazes or scratches. The reason why many regard this new power to police family life as a compromise is because parents are no longer trusted to punish their children. The campaign against smacking is driven by a wider agenda that seeks to undercut the right of parents to discipline their children. The assumption is that in most cases such parental punishment is likely to have a harmful effect. The principal objective of the campaign against smacking is to save children from their parents.
The media often refer to the discussion surrounding smacking as a debate, but it is difficult to pinpoint any differences of substance on this issue. There are very few robust defenders of smacking. Most proponents strike a defensive chord and fear being castigated as apologists for child abuse. The only obstacle that stands in the way of the anti-smacking crusade is the behaviour of the majority of parents. Surveys carried out on both sides of the Atlantic indicate that a significant majority of parents continue to use physical punishment to regulate their children's behaviour. Anti-smacking campaigners recognise that their main job is to force parents on to the defensive through mounting a propaganda campaign against them.
The campaign is not simply about the appropriateness of smacking. Many advocates of a total ban on smacking are against all forms of punishing children. They believe that parents who rely on the withdrawal of affection as an alternative to smacking may cause even more damage to a child, and that punishment designed to make children feel stupid or undignified are just as ineffective and emotionally dangerous as the physical kind.
'Withdrawal of affection is often used as an alternative to spanking, but in the opinion of many psychologists, this can be more damaging than corporal punishment', comments a writer in Nursery World (1). Such concern about emotional punishment suggests that all power-assertive methods can be criticised for the alleged damage they inflict on kids. Since it is not realistic to campaign against the right of parents to punish as such, smacking provides the crusaders with an emotive target.
Anti-smacking campaigners are often motivated by animosity to all forms of tough parenting. Their opposition to physical punishment is linked to a wider hostility to what they perceive as authoritarian parenting styles. The implicit objective of their campaign is to restrain the exercise of parental authority.
One argument used to undermine parental authority is the claim that children should not be treated differently to adults. They argue that behaviour that is unacceptable among adults should not be used against children, decrying the fact that if a man hits another adult it is called assault, but if he smacks his child it is called discipline. They assert that the legal defence in English law of 'reasonable chastisement' in the physical punishment of children legitimises behaviour that would be illegal if directed against an adult. Yet this proposition has profound implications for the whole process of child rearing. What the campaigners are really saying is that we should renounce any attempt to impose parental will on children and instead negotiate with them as if they were reasoning adults.
In the real world, parents have to do many things to their children that they would not dream of doing to another adult. From the moment of birth, mothers and fathers continually impose their will on their babies. Parents who would never instruct an adult to go to bed have no problem demanding that their child should go to sleep on the dot at seven o'clock. Parents who check that their child's bottom is clean are unlikely to do the same to people their own age.
Whenever they wash, feed or read to them in bed, parents unthinkingly treat their children as children and not as adults. We may wish to negotiate over how such things are done, but only towards a non-negotiable end, such as making sure that our child is clean. Smacking is only one of many child-rearing techniques that is not practised in relationships between adults.
Opponents of smacking claim that scientific research conclusively demonstrates that smacking has long-term negative effects on the behaviour of children. They appeal to research to justify their indictment of 'violence against children'. In The Physical Punishment of Children: Some Input from Recent Research, Penelope Leach writes that 'respected research tells us that the more children are hit, the more aggressive, disruptive and anti-social they are'. According to Leach, research shows that smacking can even lead to criminal behaviour in adolescence and adulthood.
To support her argument, Leach repeatedly refers to research carried out by Murray Strauss, a veteran American campaigner against corporal punishment. Yet Strauss' work is far less clear-cut than the claims made by Leach on its behalf. Strauss concedes that the case against smacking is 'not truly conclusive' and raises the question of 'whether advising parents to spank is ethical and responsible' (2). Strauss believes it is not ethical or responsible – but on moral grounds rather than on the grounds of scientific research.
There may be good moral arguments for opposing the smacking of children, but they are not to be found in the realm of scientific research. Despite numerous studies, nobody has succeeded in establishing a causal relationship between smacking and negative outcomes for children. That is why the anti-smacking crusade is always searching for 'research' to corroborate its prejudice. American opponents of smacking are often disarmingly open about the need to pursue research that will prove their point and convince parents to abandon smacking. At a 1996 meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Irwin Hyman proposed a campaign of what he called 'advocacy research', using bits of research as propaganda to change public policy.
His colleague Leonard Eron urged the audience to have the courage of their convictions regardless of the state of current research. 'How much evidence must we have and how incontrovertible must this evidence be before we can act?' he pleaded. Other doctors and psychologists attending the conference managed to retain a measure of objectivity. After hearing the evidence, or lack of it, the conference refused to condemn smacking (3).
One reason why research has failed to provide the anti-punishment lobby with ammunition is because the effect of child-rearing styles is variable. It depends on the quality of the parent-child relationship, social and economic circumstances, and cultural expectations. There is even some evidence to suggest that in certain situations, smacking can be an effective disciplinary tool. In 1996, the psychologist Robert Larzelere published a major review of the existing literature on physical punishment. Focusing on the 35 most rigorous empirical studies, he concluded that there was no convincing evidence that the non-abusive smacking typically used by parents damaged children. He also concluded that no other disciplinary technique – including time-outs and withdrawal of privileges – was more effective than smacking for gaining the compliance of children under the age of 13.
Larzelere's conclusions are confirmed by the work of psychologist Diana Baumrind of the University of California in Berkeley. Baumrind, innovator of the concept of authoritative parenting, believes that the smacking controversy wrongly polarises punishment and reasoning. She claims that authoritative parents are warm, firm and responsive, and that in this context, the occasional smack will have no long-term damaging effect (4).
Baumrind's approach offers a useful antidote to the dogmatic certainty of the anti-smacking zealots. The main merit of her work is that she underlines the context within which disciplining takes place. Her argument is that disciplinary methods are mediated by children's perceptions of their legitimacy. In the context of a warm and responsive relationship, children can understand the imposition of authority, even the occasional smack. Any form of punishment can have unexpected negative consequences; but such an outcome has less to do with the form of punishment than with the nature of the parent-child relationship. The outcome of an act of discipline is closely bound up with how a child experiences that relationship. That is why the mother and father are in the best position to work out what form of punishment is appropriate for their child.
Unfortunately, in the zealous climate that surrounds this issue, Baumrind's sensible approach tends to get overlooked. The terms in which the debate is framed militate against a reasoned exchange of views. Campaigners define smacking as violence against children, and argue that violence can only lead to more violence and therefore it should be stopped.
The argument that violence breeds more violence is a powerful one. Who would stand up and extol the virtue of violence? However, the equation of smacking with violence is a verbal trick designed to associate this form of punishment with abuse. Parents who occasionally spank their children are not behaving violently. Violence is physical force intended to injure or abuse. Caring parents who administer a smack in response to a child's act of wilful defiance with the objective of discouraging unacceptable behaviour are not behaving violently.
The inability to distinguish violence from caring discipline exercised by loving parents says more about the outlook of anti-smacking crusaders then about real-life mothers and fathers. Sir William Utting of Children Are Unbeatable!, the alliance of 350 organisations that is leading the call for a ban on smacking, cites the horrific murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie by her great aunt and her great aunt's partner as an example of what can happen when physical punishment spins out of control. 'The painful truth of the maltreatment of Victoria Climbie', says Utting, 'is that it started with disciplinary slaps' (5). This is an outlook that assumes parental abuse is the norm rather than the exception. Such a harsh view of parental behaviour also extends to a suspicion of other forms of punishment. But it makes better PR to confine hostility to punishment to the easy and evocative target of smacking. Smacking serves as a symbol for a campaign that believes that the exercise of parental authority is potentially damaging to children.
But make no mistake, the anti-parent crusade will not stop with the partial banning of smacking. They have already pledged to continue campaigning for a total ban. Tomorrow they might demand that parents should be criminalised for using the withdrawal of affection as a form of punishment. The crusade against smacking has already succeeded in stigmatising parental discipline and forcing mothers and fathers on to the defensive. As parents become even more confused about how to discipline their offspring, children too will become disoriented by a lack of clarity about what is expected of them.
The only beneficiaries of this powerful crusade are the professional lobbyists who are in the business of saving children from their own parents.

« Obama Already Making Critical Mistakes
What Obama Really Said in this Week's YouTube Address »
Your comments are misleading, to the unfortunate point of being false. Here is some useful information.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h1HEjutqu_JaEhRe84DLh4FQOLWQD94F02M80
CHICAGO (AP) — Vietnam-era radical Bill Ayers said Friday that he doesn't know President-elect Barack Obama any better than "thousands of other Chicagoans" and that the two never talked about Ayers' anti-war activities.
In a television interview on ABC's "Good Morning America," the college professor disputed the contention that in the new afterword of a paperback edition of his 2001 memoir "Fugitive Days" he describes himself and Obama as "family friends."
"I'm describing there how the blogosphere characterized the relationship," Ayers said. "I would really say that we knew each other in a professional way, again on the same level as say thousands of other people."
In fact, Ayers said he didn't even know Obama when he hosted a coffee early in Obama's political career at Ayers' home in the Chicago neighborhood where the two live. Ayers added that he agreed to have the meet-the-candidate event after a state senator asked him to.
"I think he was probably in 20 homes that day as far as I know," said Ayers, who has declined interview requests from The Associated Press. "But that was the first time I really met him."
In the afterword of his book's new release, Ayers wrote: "In 2008 there was a lot of chatter on the blogosphere about my relationship with Barack Obama: we had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fundraiser at my house, where I'd made a small donation to his earliest political campaign."
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/11/04/bill_ayers_speaks.html
Ayers, an author and education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said he thought the accusation by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin that Obama had been "palling around with terrorists" was absurd.
"Pal around together? What does that mean? Share a milkshake with two straws?" Ayers said in his first interview since the controversy began. "I think my relationship with Obama was probably like thousands of others in Chicago. And, like millions and millions of others, I wish I knew him better."
In the late 1960s, the Weather Underground, a radical offshoot of the antiwar movement, asserted responsibility for roughly a dozen bombings. Among the targets were the Pentagon, the Capitol, police stations, banks and courthouses.
Three of the conspirators were killed in the 1970s when a bomb exploded prematurely, but no one else was injured in a campaign described by one critic as "immensely bad ideas and dreadful tactics."
In a story that appeared in the New York Times on Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers was quoted as saying that he did not regret setting bombs. He told the reporter, "I feel we didn't do enough."
The depiction of Ayers as an "unrepentant terrorist" caught on.
Asked yesterday if he wishes he had set more bombs, Ayers answered, "Never." He also said he had regrets.
"I wish I'd been wiser," he said. "I wish I'd been more effective. I wish I'd been more unifying. I wish I'd been more principled."
History has shown of the Vietnam War that "those who opposed it were on the right side," Ayers said. But he said some of his early rhetoric was "juvenile."
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/obama/chi-bill-ayers-barack-obama-book,0,1806710.story
In the updated version of his 2001 book "Fugitive Days," Ayers calls into question one of the more incendiary quotes attributed to him during the campaign: "I'm nowadays often quoted as saying, 'I don't regret setting bombs. I wish we'd set more bombs. I don't think we did enough.'
"I never actually said that I 'set bombs,' nor that I wished there were 'more bombs.' … I killed no one, and I harmed no one, and I didn't regret for a minute resisting the murderous assault on Viet Nam with every ounce of my being."
He was particularly disturbed by a newspaper headline published in 2001: "No regrets for a love of explosives."
"That's neither my narrative nor my sentiment," Ayers wrote, "but the idea was seized upon by the neocon media machine: I was an unrepentant and violent terrorist."
Please, help spread the word, the truth:
• It is a lie to say Ayers is an "unrepentant terrorist."
In fact, he never harmed anyone himself, and is is in fact sorry for many of the things the Underground said and did.
• It is a lie to say Ayers was a "family friend" of the Obamas. That quote is taken out of context.
I appreciate whatever your blog can do to set the facts straight and end the lies and falsehoods on this subject.
lunchcountersitin
I appreciate your point of view, but you have to agree that Ayers tends to twist words a bit. In addition, he portrayed or characterized his actions during the Vietnam War era quite differently yesterday on Good Morning America then what actually really occurred. You have to ask yourself how truthful William Ayers is being today when he claims the was not a domestic terrorist. What else would you call it? It is clear that very early in the Weather Underground movement that they wished to do physical harm in fact kill people. It was only after one of the bombs they were making to kill both military and innocent civilians at a dance that blew up in their apartment and killed William Ayers's girlfriend shifted their movement toward attempting to not kill anyone in their bombings. But they still chose to use bombs which by their nature you cannot ensure that you will not kill anyone when you set one off.
Please step back yourself and think about his actions. They are the actions of a terrorist (there is no way to sugar coat it), and until he fully admits to his actions he will forever remain unrepentent.
curi0us0nefromthe60s
curi0us0nefromthe60s: "until he fully admits to his actions he will forever remain unrepentent."
Define "fully admits to his actions."
The Underground was a radical organization. They did a lot of things that were wrong. It literally blew up in their faces.
If you're a Catholic, and believe that the only way Ayers can make amends is thru some kind of confession, well, don't hold your breath. What isn't discussed much is government malfeasance (especially by the FBI) with regard to the Underground, which ultimately led to charges against Ayers being dropped, but which have also hardened the comments he makes on that era.
I think the real question is, can there be redemption without confession?
What is not generally reported about Ayers is that since his radical days, he has devoted himself to scholarship and non-violent positive social change. This is the reason that Ayers and Obama know each other, beside the fact that they live in the same neighborhood.
Here's the bottom line: It is NOT true to say he IS a terrorist. Even if you want to argue he WAS a terrorist, the fact is, he is not the same man he was 40 years ago. He is now a respected scholar and a recognized expert on school reform. In 1997, Chicago awarded him its Citizen of the Year award for his work on school reform.
But what's the point of this discussion? It's to say that the Bill Ayers of today is not a "terrorist that Obama palled with."
If truth matters, it would be fair to say that Ayers was a member of a radical and violent organization 40 years ago, but has left that life to become a useful, non-violent, and praiseworthy activist for school reform and other positive change. And that, it was in the capacity of being a non-violent activist for positive change that he met and worked with Obama.
But I guess, if the assumption is that people cannot grow or evolve, that they are irredeemable, and that we must say they are today what they were 40 years ago… well, it's a free country. All I can ask that people look at this with another viewpoint.
I saw the GMA interview and he made several statement to contradict WHEN and WHY Obama first came to his house. It's possible that they had socialized as couples for years before he lauched his political career. Just look at the time lines and then watch this interview! It shows that AYERS lied at least twice, maybe 4 times. {Good reason for him to keep quiet until Nov 14.}

Lunch Counter,
I really appreciate your comments and the discourse we are having on this subject. It is very refreshing to be able to disagree without seeing the nastiness on so many other blogs. And I appreciate the intelligent discussion we are having here. Unfortunately, you and I still disagree.
First, William Ayers' Weather Underground acts were terrorism. Terrorism is defined by dictionary.com in part as:
the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
That definition perfectly describes their acts in the 70s.
Now, as far as has William Ayers growing up and changing as a person since those times, I understand your point, and the point you make is valid; however, I tend to disagree with you here as well. William Ayers is an admitted anarchist, and an admitted Marxist. You can listen to his own words on YouTube videos as recent as 2004 where he describes himself as a small "c" communist and a Marxist.
Now, you may agree with socialism, communism and Marxism. I, however, do not accept these political ideologies in any way shape or form. And that is the danger I see in the present day William Ayers. I do not believe our universities should be teaching socialism and Marxism as a positive political ideology.
I tie Mr. Obama to these political ideologies in that he participated on boards that were funneling money for education in support of William Ayers educational beliefs.
I think it is unfortunate that our youth are no longer being taught at our highs schools and universities the dangers these political ideologies entail. History has shown their eventual outcomes.
Again, I appreciate your comments on these matters and respect your comments even though I wholeheartedly disagree with them.

FloZF is a device control, data acquisition, and data processing package designed for the development and operation of fluidic systems such as chemical analyzers. In particular it is well suited to exploring the power of Zone Fluidics. In FloZF, the user builds and manages Projects which consist of hardware Device configuration information, the Sequences to control the devices, and data acquired from any detector devices in the Project. These three primary components of the Project are managed from their respective pages in the software package.
Device configuration takes place in the Instrument Setup page (see screen shot of the Instrument Setup page). A device is added to the Project from a list of Available Device Types. The device is then configured and tested from inside its own Instrument Panel. Depending upon the device, the Instrument Panel may also provide for "manual" control and monitoring of the device.
Sequences are created, edited and executed on the Sequence Page (see screen shot of the Sequence page). There are three panels on the Sequence Page as well as several buttons. The Resource Steps panel (at the top right) contains the building blocks of Sequences: device-specific Steps, system control Steps, and data manipulation Steps. These Steps can be dragged and dropped into the Work Sequence panel (on the right) to generate method Sequences. From here, the Steps can be modified, grouped, saved, and executed. Groups of Steps can be assembled into hierarchical arrangements of Sequences which are listed in the Resource Sequences panel at the bottom left.
These Sequences are dragged to the Work Sequence panel for modification, printing, and execution.
The Data Browser page is used to examine detector data, create and modify calibration tables, and manage data folders (see screen shot of the Sequence page). Data are stored in folders and one folder is designated as the Active Data Folder. The Data Browser page is separated into two partitions. In the left partition, a Profile Summary Table provides specific data for each profile that has been acquired and stored in the Active Data Folder. When an entry in this table is selected, the data profile appears in the plot window above the table. The significant peak parameters are listed in a table above the profile window.
In the right partition of the Data Browser page is another set of tabbed pages containing various groupings of data. Calibration tables are assembled on the first tabbed page and can be filled by dragging and dropping entries from the summary table. It is possible to generate calibration tables manually from the summary table or automatically from within a Sequence. Where it is desirable to overlay peak profiles, the second tabbed page allows the generation of Overlay Plots by dragging entries from the summary table. On the third page a graphical history of any of the peak parameters can be displayed in History Plots as histograms. The final tabbed page, Data Folders, allows you to create, open, or delete data folders. The Active Data Folder is selected on this page.
A free fully functional evaluation version of FloZF is available to download. This version will allow device control of Global FIA milliGAT pumps and Valco selection valves. These two devices are the core of any Zone Fluidics implementation.

Some professionals are still wary of the benefits of internet marketing. They imagine that it takes hours to design, write, and post marketing online. They also know that you can't go to the bank and say, "I have no money to deposit but here are a dozen retweets and 75 likes." If these kinds of thoughts and concerns have made you cautious and wary, that's good. It does take time to launch an effective online marketing campaign, and your likes and retweets will – at least at first – grow a lot faster than your bottom line.
Discuss your concerns and reticence with representatives of an internet marketing company. Good marketing professionals will be sensitive to your concerns. They'll be able to do most of the marketing work for you so that you can focus your time on the clients you are serving today. From design to content creation to week-by-week management of your marketing campaign, the right online marketing company can do it all – or almost all of it.

You wouldn't think of never using your telephone. It's a vital tool. Yet when telephones first emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people resisted them. Churches worried about their phones ringing during a service; attorneys didn't want a phone ringing while they counseled clients. It seems silly today, but it always take some time to adapt to new technologies. The internet is no different. It's not going away. Get the help you need to take advantage of the internet, and contact the professionals at an established internet marketing company as soon as possible. They can address your concerns and offer the answers you need, but you must take the first step and make the call.
