Can you get a better message about your daughter @ school?
Message :
I have been volunteering to bring my long jump rope and turn the rope with the kids on the playground during recess. Ainsley likes to join in the jump rope activity and has been trying for several weeks now to figure it out. She was having a hard time getting the timing of it and learning to jump with two feet. But to her credit she kept persevering through waiting in line time and time again for yet another go at it. Yesterday for the first time, it all connected. She successfully double jumped 10 or 12 times in a row to the rhyme of Ice Cream Soda. Today the same! You should have seen the smile and big high five. She really kept at it and her hard work paid off. I was feeling her glee and wanted to share it with you.

Perception - this is worth reading!!
THE SITUATION
In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.
About 4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
At 6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
At 10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent - without exception - forced their children to move on quickly.
At 45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
After 1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities.
This experiment raised several questions:
*In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*If so, do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made . . ..
How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?
Enjoy life NOW .. it has an expiration date

Googe Plus Searching Tip.
Ever tried to bring back up a great post from a couple months ago from someone who posts every day multiple times? I tried today and finally gave up on hitting the "More" link over a dozen times and only going back 10 days or so when the post I was seeking was from July 24.
In this case it was a post by Thomas Hawk of the street car in San Francisco shot he took from the rail entitled "I walk the line"
https://plus.google.com/104987932455782713675/posts/Rr6GkWreaim
So I figured out a way to use Google search to find the post. At first I tried "Thomas Hawk streetcar" and variants of that. If I had remembered the title and searched for "Thomas Hawk I walk the line" it pops up as the 4th result on the first page. But I did not remember the title.
So I found it another way. I typed in "site:plus.google.com Thomas Hawk"
Then I adjusted the timeline to reflect 7/17/2011 to 7/31/2011 and "I Walk the Line" was result #1.
Now this will not be a panacea and search will improve, but for now it helped me find the post I was looking for. And it beats hitting "More" A LOT.

Or maybe it was the "Someone popped off the clear dome head cover thingee and stole some jelly beans" failure mode.
And then there is the still pending "Whatever happened to my antennae" failure mode.

So as an open question that does not mean anything whatsoever I pose the following query. Which one of my desktop knickknacks is the best?
1. A 1940s Navy Telegraph Key (I only have to click it 10 billion times a second to send the same amount of data as a single 10Gbps Ethernet interface - want to see it again?)
2. A NATO Lanyard from the 2005 Combined Endeavor Exercise at Lager Aulenbach in Baumholder, Germany (with pins from Poland, Netherlands, Germany, France, Croatia, Slovakia, South Africa, UK, Sweden, and Norway, among others)
3. A 24" R2-D2 droid
4. A Chinese Foo Dog Lion procured in Beijing (adorned with senior spurs that are currently acting as my profile photo - It also has a female partner on the other side of the desk. The male has a ball under the paw, while the female has a baby lion)
5. The ubiquitous Android figurine
6. The wooden hexahedron puzzle (which a certain developer that shall remain unnamed is bugging me by leaving it disassembled each time he visits my desk)
7. The Go Gopher - a riveting mascot for our "GO" Programming language http://golang.org/
Well?

So there is a new private network IP netblock usuable by ISPs and business and NOT to be routed internet wide
The prefix is 100.64.0.0/10
This is listed in the Internet Engineering Task Force RFC on the subject
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6598
Technically this netblock is for carriers to use for CGN (carrier grade NAT)
But anyone can use it as a private internal network not to be routed across the internet. Since RFC 1918 already allows for literally millions of addresses you may find that already meets your needs and you do not need this new block.
However, often the RFC1918 blocks are utilized already in your organization and using something like this new netblock offers the chance to implement without conflicting internally.
Basically this range of 4.2 million IP addresses spanning every IP address from 100.64.0.0 to 100.127.255.255 (that is 64 x 65536 addresses or 64 /16 subnets) that can be used privately for modeling, emulated fake hosts, or the cable companies will use this range for allocating NAT addresses to subscriber cable modems.
RFC 1918 defined 3 private network ranges
192.168.0.0/16 (65536 addresses)
172.16.0.0/12 (1 million addresses)
10.0.0.0/8 (16 million addresses)
So the 10, 172, and 192 subnets are HEAVILY provisioned worldwide (every wifi router uses 192.168.x.x addressing for the local LAN segment)
the 10 space and 172 space are also widely used for NAT, ISPs use the addresses for router loopbacks, and assorted other uses (intranet addressing)
So there is a relatively new addition (since April anyway) of 4 million new fake addresses you can use as you see fit.
In case you missed the memo...

Google infinity pools
So this is hearsay so its accuracy is unproven. The rumor is google management promised to get a pool once some milestone was reached. Million queries a day or whatever.
So we hit the goal and they wanted to deliver the promised pool to the Googlers who made it happen. Snag. MTV is mainly bog, bedrock is deep, and there are numerous logistical challenges to doing a full sized pool. Plus the city has regulations and limits that were prohibitive.
So they did not want to renege so they built these two infinity pools and man it with an on duty life guard, the hourly rate for which must be less than the insurance premium of not having him present.
So why station a life guard by two pools that are 3 feet deep? I suspect it has more to do with the fact that we have 4% of the world population and 50% of the world lawyers than safety.

So now you are going to block him from any athletic event, even when he is not in it to win, and is doing it for charity?
Please. This was a witch hunt from the beginning and the sort of thing a government does when they don't want you to pay attention to other activities that are happening.
This is the first time I heard that "banning" someone (there is a super american action right there) from athletic competition in one area (where he already retired) crosses over and stops you doing anything athletic at all.
http://news.runnersworld.com/2012/09/07/lance-armstrong-denied-entry-to-chicago-marathon/
I hope this causes people to really look at the USADA and reform it.
