(11:26 AM) Freya: What kind of music do you like?
(1:32 PM) Peter: I was going to ask you this yesterday and decided against it. Lol

This has always been a difficult question for me to answer.

I love metal and rock (Mushroomhead, Linkin Park, Os pantera, and any other myriad of what’s on the radio.)

I also Love Jazz and R&B when I feel like just relaxing, Love Sade to death, Kirk Whalum, I can listen to either when working and need to isolate myself and focus.

Electronic music can accomplish the task of both without those pesky words. Trance, Drum n Bass..Breaks, House.

I can appreciate all kinds. Brazilian Drum lines….kickass…. I like music. But I’m not a big fan of too many…

I figured I’d better give an explanation to validate my claim of “I listen to everything” rather than just drop the phrase like the trillion that have done so before me.

My legs are absolutely killing me….I’m probably going to die tomorrow.
(2:57 PM) Freya: We used to sets of 100 leg extensions and then stretch in between sets. I used to do them with the trash can next to me just in case I threw up. Good times. I'm jealous. You're going to have DOMS for days...

I listen to everything too - which is totally not true bc I don't listen to gospel, metal (ok - some metal - but I'm very picky), country (ok, some country, but I'm picky about this too), jazz, or jungle.

I like trip-hip-hop-funky-bluesy-rockin-latin-dance with a side of pop and rap and trance and alternative rock and...and...I should just give you my myspace and you could go look for yourself.

I hate the radio. Listen to NPR (I'm a geek).

F
(3:04 PM) Peter: You like Trance? You just keep getting better and better.

Ever been to Ultra Music Fest in Miami? I’m originally from Cleveland, and was Raving back in the days that Cleveland wore the crown for the underground….lol

I’m happy to have survived.

Myspace? I’m a millimeter from deleting mine. I never use it and haven’t touched it in some time.
(3:17 AM) Freya: I starting going to raves when I was 16 - which would make you what, like 10 at the time...

I use my myspace all the time. To keep in touch with friends. My mother is my first friend...lol.

Send me a friend request and I'll add you - it's set to private right now.
(3:20 PM) Peter: We’ve got quite a bit in common it seems lol… Sadly the main reason I quit doing drugs was because they started to suck. If the X was still as good now as it was then I’d probably be a vegetable now…lol.
(3:17 PM) Freya: I found that too with the x. When I started showing up at school on Monday with a hang over from Friday night I decided that I'd had enough.

COMMUNICATION: e-mail
SUBJECT: Myspace
(6:04 PM) Peter: I added you, or at least sent a request. Choose any other way on the planet to get ahold of me though… I really despise Myspace.
(6:27 PM) Freya: Why?
(6:42 PM) Peter: Basically for what it has come to stand for. I will use it to stay in contact with friends and family. But I have so many friends that like date exclusively off of it and are on it every second of everyday. It’s caused problem is my relationships (which were rooted in jealousy issues usually which was it’s own problem but you get the idea) I know people that live and die by it. My ex roommate tried to put a restraining order on me to keep me from coming by his house to collect the rest of my belongings… in court (when the judge threw the case out and reprimanded him after I presented my case ;D )
He actually brought up my myspace page and claimed my name change was directed at him like he mattered in my life….
Peter no likey anymore. Plain and simple.
(7:11 PM) OIC. Well, I've never had any myspace drama what so ever. I drop by a couple of times a week. E-mail friends and family. That's about it. My life is pretty much drama free and that's the way I like it. I don't do well with drama.

Actually, I had a rough patch of drama last summer with a roommate who was an alcoholic bi-polar mess that fell in love with me. Had the cops out to my house 3 times inside 2 months to get rid of him. Oh - and then my next male roommate somehow got it in his sick and twisted little Jordanian mind that it was okay to jack off on the couch while I was in the room. The cops threw him out too.

I promise to stay as drama free as possible.
(7:19 PM) Peter: I’ve come to the realization that there is no such thing as “drama-free” as long as there are other human beings on this planet than ourselves. There are different degrees of drama based on occurrences…..that are usually exacerbated exponentially depending on how many people you know. I know a lot of people. And am trying to break away and be a hermit because I need a break from the damned drama.
Drama is basically the interaction between us that magnify the differences in our lives…
Example: Your roommate probably thought punching the munchkin in front of you would turn you on.
You thought it was a turnoff. I’m sure he thought you were the weird one as he was getting tossed out on his ass, too.
(7:29 PM) Freya: Well that would explain why I have so little drama - I'm a total hermit! On a daily basis I talk to, e-mail, and communicate with (not counting the boards mind you) 3-4 people a day. My world is very, very small. Of course, that's all about to change when I start teaching again.

LOL about my roommate.

Laut Studienautoren sind Menschen ab etwa 40 Jahren aber nicht mehr besonders empfänglich für diese Methode. Damit auch diese Zielgruppe den Forschern nicht durch die Lappen geht, will man es bei ihnen jetzt mit einer E-Mail-Therapie probieren. Ob da wohl gruselig-bebilderte Attachments mitgeschickt werden?

Eine andere Initiative zeigt, dass der Telering-Slogan "Weg mit dem Speck!" noch lange nicht ausgereizt ist: "Übergewichtige Jugendliche sollen dank eines neuen Konzepts Gewicht verlieren – mit Hilfe ihres Mobiltelefons, das Bewegungen erfasst und Warnmeldungen anzeigt." Fettleibige Jugendliche, die in einer Abnehmklinik interniert sind, werden im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes von ihren Handys überwacht. Das geht über bewegungsempfindliche Sensoren.

Wenn die Kids sich zu lange träge verhalten, werden sie vom Telefon gescholten. Andererseits gibts auch Lob vom Handy, wenn sie sich viel bewegen. Mich erinnert das ja ein bisschen an Tamagotchis, nur dass die Rollen hier vertauscht sind. Tja, vorher weniger essen hätte sich für die armen Kinder ausgezahlt, jetzt gibts Rundumüberwachung.

Manche von den Jugendlichen würden ihr Handy wohl am liebsten nur noch weit, weit weg werfen. Passender Rahmen dazu wäre die Handy-Weltmeisterschaft gewesen, die am 23. August in Estland stattgefunden hat. Die erstmals den Wettbewerb austragenden Esten dominierten auch, gewannen den Weitwurf der Männer und der Frauen. In der Freestyle-Kategorie gewann ein Hund namens Cara mit einer Weite von 30 Zentimetern.

Und weil dieser Eintrag ohnehin viel zu bierernst ist, hier noch ein kleines Video. Aber nur klicken, wenn ihr über 18 Jahre alt seit!

Hola Mario:

En esta ocasión quiero compartir contigo este estudio de las escrituras.

Yo creo que existe la posibilidad que Jesucristo no haya tenido una vida pre-terrenal en los cielos antes de venir a la Tierra.

Es notable como la carta a los Hebreos en sus dos primeros capítulos menciona que Yahweh dice que Jesús heredó un nombre más excelente que ellos, una vez que Jesucristo murió y resucitó. (Hebreos 1:4)

Si Jesucristo vivió  en los cielos…

¿Cómo es posible que heredara un nombre más excelente que ellos (los ángeles)?

Se supone que es la segunda criatura más excelsa del universo.

Para los Trinitarios es Dios.

La Biblia dice que Jesucristo aprendió la obediencia por las cosas que padeció. (Hebreos 5:8).

Yo creo que las escrituras es un libro lógico.

¿Es posible que aprenda obediencia Dios mismo?

¿Es posible que aprenda obediencia un ser espiritual poderoso que vivió decenios al lado del Padre?

No me suena coherente.

Yo creo que es cada vez más real la posibilidad que Jesucristo jamás haya vivido en los cielos antes de venir a la Tierra. Más bien fue engendrado en el vientre de María y llegó a ser el Mesías Prometido. La simiente de Abraham que daría la bendición a la raza humana.

El heredero legítimo del Trono de David. Para ello tuvo que ser un hombre. Al igual que Adán. (Lucas 1:31,32)(1 Cor. 15:45)

Los Testigos de Jehová enseñan que Jesús fue ”transferido” desde el cielo.

Esa doctrina carece de apoyo bíblico.

La Biblia dice que Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre María y que su Hijo será engendrado. (Lucas 1:35).

Sin ser dogmático, creo yo que es perfectamente posible que el Mesías haya sido engendrado en el vientre de María, ya que sería llamado Grande e Hijo de Dios.

Lo que deduzco es que Jesucristo no tuvo una vida pre-terrenal.

Los textos que mencionan que Jesucristo es “el pan del cielo” o que fue “enviado” por Dios, tienen una explicación bastante lógica. Claro que Jesucristo fue “enviado” por Dios.

¿Acaso no fue enviado Isaías el Profeta?

Jesucristo es el “pan del cielo” en el sentido que tiene una comunicación directa con su Dios y Padre Celestial y por el hecho que vino a hacer la voluntad de su Padre. Aquí Jesús habla de una forma no literal y no creo que se deba entender asi.

Juan 1:1 no es para mi una explicación satisfaciente de la Deidad de Jesucristo antes de venir a la tierra, no a la naturaleza Divina que disfruta ahora.

La palabra griega utilizada es LOGOS y esta se vierte como Palabra o Verbo.

¿Pero se refiere a Jesucristo?

No necesariamente.

Puede perfectamente referirse a la Palabra de Dios. A Su Propia Palabra que subsiste para siempre y que es eterna como Dios. La Palabra de Dios ha estado desde el principio.

Me gustaría saber tu opinión sobre este tema.

Ya sabes que como ex Testigos de Jehová, tenemos que partir desde 0 como tú dijiste una vez. Pero tampoco no quiero contaminarme con doctrinas que son más de carácter humano y no divino.

Eso si me carga cuando otros cristianos llaman “hereje” cuando uno saca conclusiones que no están de acuerdo con la mayoría de los cristianos.

En este sentido comparto contigo, pero no de manera dogmática la posibilidad que Cristo no haya tenido una vida pre terrenal en los cielos.

Aún sigo investigando este tema y me llamo la atención la explicación que das de la palabra Logos en Juan 1:1 que me parece muy razonable.

Me gustaría tener contacto contigo para tener buenas conversaciones de la Biblia.  

Saludos hermano

The battle between Comcast and its users has been raging for a while. Due to piracy, Comcast tried to throttle users using BitTorrent clients. This led to many unhappy articles all over the nets of users complaining that their BT wasn't as fast as before.

Comcast was brought to its feet as it finally removed its throttles. Now, it's imposing a new limit. Is it really fair?

Well, considering that there are other ISPs (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) have no limit on their bandwidth, this still is a pretty good deal. 250 GB is a lot of bandwidth to be using in the first place if you are an honest person who uses the web. If you are a pirate and like to torrent movies, this still is pretty good for more high power users.

To use 250 GB of bandwidth is quite a lot. Playing games, downloading applications, music, and movies, surfing the web, and uploading to ftps, barely brings my neighbor to 50 GB a month, and he's sharing his connection to the public world!

I believe that unless you are hosting an illegal server or something, using 250 GB is pretty godlike, and you should tell me your secrets. As long as Comcast isn't throttling connections, a slight limit is appreciable. Besides, other companies limit to 20 - 60 GB bandwidths.

If you aren't happy, then move to Verizon FiOS... whenever that comes to the area.

Der Web-2.0-Experte Richard Joerges beschreibt die Idee des Web 2.0 wie folgt: Zusammen sind wir stark, lautet das eine Motto. Das andere: Das Ergebnis ist eine Potenz und nicht nur die Summe des Ursprünglichen.

Sind das nicht auch Grundsätze des BDK? War der BDK also (wieder einmal) seiner Zeit voraus? Den Web-2.0-Begriff gibt es erst seit 2004. Den BDK seit 40 Jahren…

Während noch vor wenigen Jahren Flugblätter und Aushänge an Schwarzen Brettern die Hauptkommunikationsform des BDK war, ist es heute die E-Mail.

Der BDK-Hamburg informiert seine Mitglieder regelmäßig und tagesaktuell mittels Webseite (die auch von jedem dienstlichen PC aus über das polizeiliche Intranet erreichbar ist!), E-Mail, Weblog, Flugblätter, der Verbandszeitschrift KASTOR und der anerkannten Fachzeitschrift „der kriminalist“.

Durch mehrere Redakteure auf Bundes- und Landesebene ist gewährleistet, dass die Informationen zeitnah für die Mitglieder und jeden Interessierten abrufbar sind.

Darüber hinaus gibt es an jeder Dienststelle einen BDK-Delegierten, der für jeden Kollegen ansprechbar ist und als „BDK-Außenstelle“ fungiert. Durch diesen direkten Draht zur Basis ist andersherum für die Verantwortlichen im BDK-Hamburg gewährleistet, ständig am Puls der Zeit zu sein, Probleme schnell aufgreifen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten erarbeiten zu können bzw. schnell Hilfe anbieten zu können.

Please respond ASAP (in the next two weeks).  We're considering a new text service and want to know the level of interest.  Thanx!

Oh, if you're OLD and prefer to e-mail (just kidding!), you can e-mail your "yes" vote to shawn@elevationgeneration.org.

Аз притежавам т.нар. Duna Club Card, издавана от авиокомпанията на пътници, които често пътуват с унгарските авиолинии. Затова редовно получавам от тях оферти за разнообразни пътувания, предлагани с отстъпка на картодържатели.

Миналата седмица обаче получих това:

Проблемът в случая е, че от авиокомпанията са изпратили офертата като картинка. От Mail.bg обаче имат навика да блокират картинките и едва когато поискаш да ги отвориш, можеш да видиш какво точно са ти изпратили. На всичко отгоре от "Малев" този път не само че не са изпратили картинката направо в мейла, а като zip файл, но и са оставили текст, който ме накара бързо да последвам тяхната молба:

Hristo Radichev,

Наистина няма по-лесен начин сам да загубиш клиентите си. Поне да се бяха постарали да опишат офертата в кратък текст...

by Lauren at Unexpected Blessing

I first stumbled across Dan’s blog (LABAIRI) quite awhile back. I left a comment and he emailed me to thank me for my kind words. We’ve kept in touch here and there, mostly I read his Twitter updates. (I Twitter too - unxpctdblessing is my username there) A few weeks ago I asked him if he would be willing to do an interview as he is a dad who has PPD experience. Dan opened up and is very honest and forward with his answers. I sincerely hope you enjoy today’s interview as much as I did when I first received his reply!

Would you share with us your insight on your wife’s journey as she struggled with PPD?

Jenna suffered PPD with all three of our children. Each time was different, PPD isn’t the same for every woman – it’s not even the same for one woman! The second bought was the worst. It was just a dark time – so dark that there are moments during that year that Jenna and I don’t even remember. We look at pictures and have no idea the circumstances. The darkness was just overwhelming. Nothing was right and everything was difficult. She suffered a lot, and I was really at a loss at how I’d be able to help her through this.
What were some of the first signs you noticed that made you think things weren’t quite right?

During the first time around, we didn’t know this was even happening – only 5 years ago, but awareness has come a LONG way since then. But looking back I guess there was a huge lack of motivation to do anything from getting out of bed in the morning to get up in the middle of the night to feed our son. It seemed odd – but we thought that this must just be sheer exhaustion from Jenna also working part-time. Plus, during those first 8 months after Liam was born, our relationship was tanking. I remember thinking if this is what marriage is like after kids that I didn’t want any more of them. (You can laugh – we have three and another on the way from Ethiopia!)

How have you grown as a man and as a father as a result of PPD?

Wow, great question. As a father, PPD grew me up really fast. As Jenna had moments where she was unable to care for the kids as she would have liked, I had no choice but to step in and make it work. I wasn’t secure in my parenting skills by any stretch of the imagination (the first diaper I ever changed was Liam’s). But I loved my family more than life, and these times forced me to step up to the responsibility.

As a man, I know I am more sensitive to expectant and new mothers. I know how hard it can be. I know the hell that it can be on the family. I advocate for fathers to step up and care for their wives as this is the “for better or for worse” part of the vows we made before God. I’ve never been a “manly-man” with the barefoot and pregnant mentality, but this time reinforced that caring for our wives as Christ loves the church is the only way to make a marriage work. There is a lot of sacrifice to be made as a husband/father, with or without PPD. I’m definitely a better person for having been through this with Jenna.

How did your faith support you through your journey?

WOW. We couldn’t have done this without our faith. Almost without a doubt, without our faith we would never have made it through that first year after Liam. Those were really dark times. The Psalms were a great comfort as we journeyed though PPD. David talks so often of going through the valley and crying out to God for help. Those passages of lament gave words to the cry of our hearts, cries that found words difficult to come by. We also couldn’t have done this without our faith community. Especially after PPD was diagnosed and we could talk about it with some clarity, people brought us meals, they stayed with us and helped out wherever they could. The support structure our faith community gave us was invaluable and at least for me reaffirmed the beauty of the local church and the potential she has to do good in this world.

What do you love about being a father?

Coming home from work and having a little person scream “DADDY!” at the top of her lungs while running to give me a bear hug! Those moments make all of the bad ones disappear in seconds.

What lessons have you learned from PPD?

Hmm. What first comes to mind is that no one is immune from pain. I think we all figure that PPD (or anything else bad) won’t happen to us. Jenna had NEVER suffered any sort of depression before PPD. There were absolutely no warning signs on this one. We never prepared ourselves for the worst. Jenna and I had no plan for PPD when it happened, no safety net or plan b. As a result, we’re going through an adoption right now, which is going very well. But in the back of my mind, I’m preparing for what might go wrong – and there is plenty to go wrong in international adoptions. It’s given me a healthy dose of preparedness that I’d never had before.

Depression isn’t just a bad thing. I know, that sounds like an insane statement to make, but let me explain. Depression allows you for a time to see life, and perhaps embrace life, as it really is – broken and in desperate need of repair. As a result of PPD, I savor even the “just OK” times in life because I know how bad it can get.

People are good. Surrounding yourself with a support network is one of the best things you can do for PPD. Do this before you experience tragedy; experience the joys of community as well.

Share with us some of the ways you were able to participate in your wife’s recovery.

1. Realize that this is something that I can’t fix. Once that was cemented into my head, I was free to just be the best husband / father I could be.

2. Take over duties/chores. Taking away the stresses – cleaning, cooking, etc. – that I could seemed to free her mind to think about the kids. Along with this, I also had the freedom to flex my hours at work. I stayed home until the kids were fed and clothed. I was home for the bedtime routine and canceled my evening appointments. This isn’t easy, but this speaks VOLUMES to your wife – you’re making her a priority.

3. I went with her to her first PPD group meeting. I wanted to show my support, even if it was just driving her to the wellness center so she didn’t feel like she’d get lost. Along with this, I made her being able to go to PPD group a priority. I rearranged my schedule, took appointments out of my schedule, etc. To make that happen.

4. I made every effort to help her start Life After Baby, the support group she started at our church – helping design web images, fliers, etc. She has since graduated from the group herself, but the group will still meet with new leadership this coming year.

Let’s face it. Parenting is not easy. What are some of your most difficult daily parenting challenges?

We now have three kids. Jenna’s pretty much recovered from her third trip through PPD (this hasn’t been the worst, just the longest – Addi is 2). Daily challenges: navigating the kids through the best friends/worst enemy phase of being siblings. They can turn on a dime, and helping them work through the worst enemy side of that coin is not easy. Finding alone time with each of the kids and making sure that each is getting a good amount of personal attention. And I guess that last challenge would be more on the marriage side of things, but making sure that Jenna and I don’t lose touch in the process of caring for the kids. It’s easy to focus everything on them and give the leftovers to each other. We’ve got to make each other a priority!

Shameless plug time. Tell us about your blog and why you started it.

My blog: labairi (or life as best as I remember it) was started basically as an outlet for me to write my thoughts on life. I’m an avid journal writer, and figured I’d put that to good use for the world to read–No grand ambitions, just a guy and his thoughts. It’s definitely evolved in the past three years as I’ve allowed myself to become more transparent with what’s actually going on sharing our journey and my thoughts on PPD as well as my own bouts with depression and anxiety. Since starting the blog, it’s been amazing to see what being transparent can do. I’ve connected and helped several PPD dads and family members helping them walk through some of the worst moments. I’ve been able to read books on fatherhood sent to me by authors. And I’ve just met some incredibly cool people that encourage me to be a better person. My blog is sometimes serious, sometimes fun, but always real.

And last but not least - if you had a chance to share one piece of advice with an expectant father (new or experienced), what would it be?

Embrace every moment good and bad, you can’t get them back. Choose your family above your golf game and if you can help it, your work life. You may make less money, but in the long run you’ll be investing in something that lasts for eternity. ]]> http://collaborateur.wordpress.com/?p=60 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:45:29 +0000 wpray55 http://collaborateur.wordpress.com/?p=60 Microsoft and IBM have long dominated the enterprise messaging market, with Novell and Oracle holding onto a small and loyal set of customers. Google continues to threaten to enter this market but, as my colleague Guy Creese points out, still has a ways to go. This market hasn't changed much in several years, other than it's slow evolution in becoming integrated with hot new technologies like social networking. Now Cisco has jumped into the enterprise messaging market with the announcement of the acquisition of PostPath.

On the surface, Cisco has the size and resources to potentially challenge Microsoft's and IBM's dominance of the enterprise e-mail market. However, like Google, Cisco has a ways to go and displacing Microsoft and IBM as a preferred e-mail solution vendor will be very difficult. 

The e-mail market is established. To win, you have to take market share from Microsoft or IBM.  Their solutions are mature, integrated, and entrenched. Once in place, e-mail solutions tend to stay. 

Cisco's software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach, ability to tie the PostPath solution to their existing collaborative technologies (notably WebEx), and knowledge of enterprise IT give them a shot taking market share. Initially, it is clear that Cisco is targeting Microsoft. 

It won't be easy. Cisco has to answer the questions of why and how for enterprises. Why would an organization want to incur the cost to leave an e-mail solution that works for them today and how would an organization actually migrate to the Cisco solution?   

Both Microsoft and IBM are launching SaaS offerings that include e-mail and are meeting their customers enterprise messaging needs. Cisco is going to need a strong "Why" story. And if they don't offer an easy "How" answer, then even a good "Why" story might not be enough to persuade many customers to leave their current solution. But, hey, this is technology. Anything can happen.

My favourite e-mail.

e-mails,sometimes are interesting,not evertime.I'm fed up with spams.I seriously don't understand my eligibility as a nurse in Australia and a lottery ticket winner of Florida.I sometimes wonder whether people really sit down and type the mail addresses to send me some trash which I'm gonna crush and throw it to outer space within a click's time.Job offers are becoming a joke.I don't even have a proper degree in my hands,But I am awaiting some mail to call me as the dean of Brooklyn hospitals in the near future.This mail is probably the best-'Buy our products:Sanitary Napkins for half price from Kentucky enterprises',I was embarassed and irritated to the core.So many advertisements.As Jules winfield(Samuel Jackson-Pulp Fiction)says "I dare you,I double dare you motherf****r!Send me a mail,send me one more mail and I will shoot you!"And forwards are the biggest menace.They swarm like maggots and suck huge space that my mail loads forever.I seldom read anything rather unsubscribing autonomously subscribed 'groupshit'.There are very few forwards I read,from my trusted list of address-book people and this one is my top-favourite.I haven't come across any poetry or a short story having such an impact on me.Like a dinosaur's whack,the pain in my mind evokes another drop of tear everytime I go through this.

O usuário fará um contrato mensal com a operadora T-Mobile de US$ 19,95 (em torno de R$ 33), que permitirá leitura ilimitada de e-mails e escrita a partir de até três contas.

O portátil Peek vai na contramão dos atuais smartphones, que trazem também recursos de voz, enviam mensagens de texto, têm mensagem instantânea e uma série de outros recursos. O objetivo do gadget, segundo a fabricante é o de realizar apenas uma tarefa, mas da melhor forma possível - um conceito batizado de unitask.
