What began as a night on the town for five friends ended tragically, a state prosecutor told jurors Tuesday to the audible sobbing of family members of two men killed in an alleged drunk driving crash last year.
What began as a night on the town for five friends ended tragically, a state prosecutor told jurors Tuesday to the audible sobbing of family members of two men killed in an alleged drunk driving crash last year.
Christopher Cash, 27, is on trial for two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of 49-year-old Jerry James Jackson and 24-year-old Kevin Nigel Embles.
The two men were ejected from the Volkswagen Jetta Cash was driving when the car crashed on Pony Farm Road around midnight on Jan. 7, 2012. One body was found face down in the road and the second body was 30 feet away in a ditch, according to testimony from a paramedic who responded to the scene.
A jury of eight women and four men, including a former critical care nurse, an unemployed handyman and a public school employee, will decide Cash�s fate.
Assistant District Attorney J.B. Askins and defense attorney Stuart Popkin � who didn�t give an opening statement � spent most of the day on Tuesday questioning potential jurors about their occupation and the members of their family. The lawyers picked the jury from a pool of more than 50 Onslow County residents who had been summoned.
Cash � wearing a buttoned down blue shirt with dark slacks and Timberland Boots � listened attentively to the proceedings.
Cash was charged by the N.C. State Highway Patrol with driving while impaired and two counts each of second-degree murder, felony death by motor vehicle, felony serious injury by vehicle, felony hit and run causing serious injury, failing to give aid to passengers and failing to report an accident.
�This trial will take several days to complete,� Askins told presiding N.C. Superior Court Judge W. Allen Cobb while they were discussing scheduling issues.
The first witness, a paramedic who responded to the scene, will continue his testimony today at 9:30 a.m.

Boston/South End
The South End, with its blocks of Victorian brick row houses, upscale restaurants, and art galleries, is swiftly becoming one of the most popular places to live in Boston. Many of the row houses underwent renovation starting in the 1960s. Located just minutes from downtown and the Back Bay, in recent years the South End has become one of Boston's most popular neighborhoods. It has attracted a diverse blend of families, young professionals, a gay and lesbian community and a thriving artistic center to this Boston Landmark District. You will be sure to notice the South End's renowned Victorian brownstone buildings and homes as you walk along Tremont Street, Columbus Avenue, Washington Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Small business owners also enjoy the amenities of the South End and are supported by the national award winning Washington Gateway Main Streets Program. Some of Boston's finest restaurants, a thriving arts community and nearly thirty parks also call the South End home.
Get in[edit]
By subway[edit]
By bus[edit]
The SL4 and SL5 routes of the Silver Line bus rapid transit service make several stops in the South End:
By train[edit]
The Back Bay station is served by Amtrak trains, and by MBTA commuter rail (Attleboro/Providence, Framinghham/Worcester, Needham, and Franklin lines).
See[edit][add listing]
South End has some of the most wonderful restored brownstones in the area, which offers a stark contrast from the modernism of some other parts of Boston. It is also a very enjoyable place to stroll in the evenings. Many small gardens and parks are tucked between the warren of small, intimate streets.
Bay Village is one of the smallest neighborhoods in Boston, about 6 square blocks around Piedmont Street east of Arlington. After the original mud flats were drained in the early 1800s, many craftsmen involved in the construction of Beacon Hill's premier residences built their own modest but well-crafted houses here. Consequently, there are many architectural similarities between these two neighborhoods. It wasn't until the Prohibition years (1920s) that Bay Village got its bohemian ambience. It has now become the center for Boston's gay community.
Do[edit][add listing]
Theatre Boston Center for the Arts - 4 Smaller Venues serving over a dozen Boston theatre companies. Box office at Calderwood Pavillion, 527 Tremont Street.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Trendy restaurants brush shoulders with coffeshops and Mom & Pop grocery stores along Tremont Street and its side streets all the way down to Washington Street (link to Wash. Main Streets), which is experiencing an artistic revival - a significant number of artists are moving in, and galleries are cropping up around the area to show their works.
Eat[edit][add listing]
The last several years have seen a resurgence of new restaurants in the South End, particularly on Tremont and Washington streets. South End dining tends to be fairly expensive, especially towards the north side of it, near Union Park Street.

'And I appeared to Avraham, Yitschak and Yaakov as El Shaddai, but as Hashem I had not become known to them' (Shmot, 6:3). Yet how will we understand this since as the commentators have pointed out, He had appeared to the Patriarchs also as HaShem? We can explain it by seeing the differences between Moshe and the Avot.
The Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah, 19) tells of the seven Tzaddikim, who brought the Shechinah down to earth. The six who preceded him, each brought the Shecinah down one Heaven, till Moshe brought it down to Earth. The six are like the 6 days of creation, whose purpose it is to extend and continue kedushah in the material and natural world so as to light up that world with the Divine light. This is like the Midrash (Ber. Rab. 30), of the king who brings the light through the darkened paths till he comes before G-d. In all matters where nature and materialism stood before them, like the 10 tests of Avraham, the Avot were able to breakthrough them, even as through a metal wall, and pursue after G-d. In this way they lit up the natural world, brought forth the spiritual valuables from the material, separated good from evil and made converts. This they were able to do through the power of Shaddai, only through hidden miracles that are shrouded in nature as the Ramban explains. Then came Moshe, who performed revealed miracles and signs that transformed the natural, made it behave contrary to its nature and showed that nature is simply without any power beyond that created by G-d. This was done through the power of the name HaShem that constantly and repeatedly creates anew. This is like Shabbat on which there is no action only shevitah that is contrary to the natural world of the weekdays, and yet provides the power and the strength to create anew, in the following week. From the Avot we received the ability and strength to bring light to the world of nature and materialism and from Moshe, the power to go beyond such a world.
Shaddai is the Name that comes to limit and to restrict; 'He who said to the world, 'dai-enough' '. Revelation through this Name enabled the Avot to become great, yet only as individuals. The Midrash (Yalkut Tehillim, 65 and Bamidbar Rabbah 3), explains that the verse 'who are chosen by G-d but are not drawn close to Him', refers to those who bring themselves close through their own efforts. These are the Avot and David who were the tzadikim who brought themselves close to HaShem through their own efforts and merits. However He did not draw them close to Him. Their avodah was completely from the Earth up to the Heavens. So we can understand the verse, 'One was Avraham' (Ezekiel, 33; 24); Avraham stood alone and merely through the unity of his heart and mind was able to draw himself close to Hashem. So too, Yaakov who united everything to draw himself close to G-d, was the contrast to Eisav who separated and unraveled his merits and strengths. When G-d appeared to Moshe as HaShem, he gave him the wherewithal to create a nation, since this Name is the source of all the Names and therefore transforms them into a unity, thereby fusing the individuals into the body that is Israel. The matzeivah the solitary stone pillar was used by the Avot, yet Moshe built a mizbach of stones, individuals fused into an entity. After him, only the mizbach was used.
Each of the Avot were different and each one possessed his own special merit; Avraham is Chesed, Yitschak is Din and Yaakov is Emet. They thereby possessed the ability to thwart the three evil decrees proposed by Pharaoh and we have the three festivals in their merit. Pesach is in the merit of Avraham and comes to remedy sexual immorality. This was what was intended by Pharaoh in his decree to kill the sons; this would free the women for the Egyptians. Avraham and Sarah exemplify sexual morality; as we know he had never seen her beauty before they came to Egypt.
Shavout is Yaakov, yoshev ohalim shel Torah. This is the protection against the idolatry brought upon us when we were enslaved. The Zohar (part 3 section108) explains Israel's claim of eating fish and vegetables for free in Egypt, as being free of mitzvoth, that is free of the rule of G-d. So too in Chagigah 4a, we learn that slaves are free of the mitzvah of reiyah on the Chagim. This mitzvah is to appear before the Adon, the Lord and Master; this excludes those who already have a master since one cannot serve two masters.
Yitschak is Sukkot that is bitachon. Bitachon frees one from the passions and lusts that move to bloodshed. Yitschak who demonstrates so clearly faith and bitachon by his willingness to sacrifice himself, is the antidote against the bloodshed of the decree to drown the sons in the Nile. From the Avot Israel got the ability and the power to withstand and overcome these three decrees.
However there was a fourth decree, that of forcing them to spread out and to devote their time, minds and energies to the dispersion needed to gather straw. This decree was added by Pharaoh of his own initiative to the three of bein habetarim. This meant that the first five plagues that would have sufficed were now insufficient. Furthermore, his initiative explains why the power of teshuvah was withheld from Pharaoh, in contradiction to the halakhic ruling of, for instance the Rambam in Hilkhot Teshuvah. To overcome this decree the lessons of the Avot were insufficient and so there was the revelation of the Name Shaddai through Moshe, that by its nature comes to limit.
The decree of the straw spread dispersion and separation and took away from them the Shabbat on which they read the scrolls telling of the geulah. Galut is just such dispersal and disunity and therefore needed the addition of a revelation from above to the individualism and efforts of the Avot. We see that the verse tells us,' and My Name HaShem I did not make known to them'. G-d did not draw them to Himself and did not give them the knowledge [Torah], needed to add a revelation from above. This was given to Moshe who is equal to all Israel, and who by giving them the Torah that is in his name made them, as it were, prophets who could overcome the fourth decree of Pharaoh.
'Every mitzvah that the Jews accepted willingly and in joy, like milah, continues to be observed by them in simcha '(Shabbat, 130a). From the Zohar we learn that the gathering together of the celebrants needs the orlah to be removed, so we see that the meal itself has a value… This is like the saying that G-d gathered together the whole host when He Revealed Himself. Obviously He does not require such a gathering. The Avnei Nezer observes from Sanhedrin, 88b, that just as the use of a 5th specie to bind the lulav invalidates the lulav, so too the addition of anything unsuitable destroys any unity. In the same way it is the orlah that destroys the gathering. The converse also applies. The gathering together for the festive meal ensures the observance of the mitzvah. To Moshe was given the fourth language of redemption, ' velakachti, this is the giving of Torah. This enabled Israel to join together and thereby to overcome the disruption and dispersion of the fourth decree, that of the straw, but also to achieve geulah, that is unification.

Over 6 years ago I returned from a 4 month journey to Kolkata, India. It was a life-changing trip, to say the least.
I didn't have a digital camera back then, so no photos to go with this post...but what I did have with me was a heart that was expanding with the possibilities of mercy. I find that I'm still carrying that heart with me.
Here's a story from those days:
And there was this baby. her hair was light with malnutrition and she slept in her older sister's arms. I touched her face and it felt warm even to my hot hands. She wouldn't wake and her sister begged for money. I wanted to grab that child and run- the longing of it, the pain of it piercing so deeply that I was brought to tears.
The next day we visited St. Thomas' Mount in Chennai (the place where Thomas of the New Testament supposedly died). A man was begging at the top of these steep steps. He said: have mercy on me. I smiled and said: maybe later.
I shivered in the India heat at my words: maybe later I would have mercy on him when I myself have been shown mercy before, after, and during this little life I've lived. The pain of his plea for mercy wrapped itself tightly around my heart and squeezed- not so that I would show him mercy, but because my very life depended on it as much as his own did.
The day afer I met this man, I read in Luke 18 where a blind man calls to Jesus: Son of David! Have mercy on me! He asks this even after he has been silenced by the crowds. Jesus turns to him and asks what he wants. He says: I want to see.
I find myself sitting on a street, in rags, unable to see. And I call to a Humble King: have mercy on me! I want to see again! I want the sight to know what matters. I want to know how to see so that I can truly love others. Give me vision so that I can see You.
Who wouldn't want to see such goodness as belongs to Him?
Who wouldn't be willing to give what is in both hands if it meant seeing Him more clearly? I pray for mercy that I might be such a woman.
And we are still caught in this place of waiting, asking for mercy.
Doamne ajuta.
Finding that while we sit and wait, we learn to see. While we lean on the cane of our insecurities and inability to trust, we find what keeps us from hope. And peace.
This is a mercy. To see what keeps us from sight.

I'm proposing....
I am writing a PROPOSAL...
for a BOOK...
MY book for teen girls.
Ladies, is there not enough gossip in the tabloids to hold your attention? You needed to come here to try and find some? You know you don't get gossip here. Just good ole' fun about being a mom and my tricks of the trade when it comes to dealing with kids...and now TEENS... of my own and other people's teens.
"You are AMAZING! I just wanted you to know I couldn't have gotten through this year without you!"
After I got this message I realized how this incredible ride I am on is just the beginning - Ladies and Gentlemen, we are just about to pull out of the gate...HOLD ON, it's going to be a crazy ride!
This morning my PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE devotional said that people who look into their own future and envision their lives "down the road" actually have more success than people who just plod along day by day.
Well, would ya look at that, all the people who think I am an incurable DREAMER are right...and I don't have to feel like I am getting tsk-tsk'ed by the teacher when they say it. Now, the next time someone says, "She's got her head in the clouds again..." I can say, "YOU BET I DO!! Grab your tickets now, you're gonna wanna see THIS!"
So, the theme of my morning devotional was PERFECT for the day I would rush out the door to my favorite and most productive writing spot - PANERA - as soon as my husband packed up the kids for the pool. I have been asked to plot my marketing plans for this book.
So, get comfy and insert the dreamy music here...
I see a shelf filled with a series of books and journals, activity books and picture books by Michelle Kemper Brownlow for teen girls that will raise their awareness of the world around them and give them the permission to OWN the space they take up. That space will be unique and beautiful like each of them and will have distinct boundaries that will celebrate the kind of woman they are "training" to become. Now, I know all these books would be spread all over the bookstore in their respective genre - but just humor me. Let's PRETEND I would have my own shelf. Isn't it pretty?
I see my iPhone (which I don't have yet) and make sure I synced it (which I don't know how to do) with my calendar so that the directions to the school I am speaking at later this week is included.
I see myself lurching back and forth as I tell just one of my many goofball stories that accompany every workshop I run. I have sat with young girls for over 9 years and made stories from my own life relevant to what we were talking about that day. Whether it was girl drama, boys and boundaries or parents, I have the story - ask them, they'll tell you!
I see flying (gasp, gasp, I don't like planes....breathe....if God wants me to I will....that's better) to events, book signings, TV appearances (OK - that felt weird to type), speaking engagements, schools to share something I have lived through and learned with girls who are struggling to stay afloat in this thing we throw at them called life. Sometimes it seems we parent from the lifeboat and just let them flail until they "kinda" get it!
The plans God has for this project are the ones I want to follow. I have followed His lead from the beginning. When I was struggling with what I was supposed to be doing with my life - go back to teaching high school, continue writing children's programs/curriculum for churches and teaching teens on Sunday, go into a different field altogether - I prayed and had a long chat with God. Thankfully He doesn't mind that sometimes that means meeting me in the bathroom. I picked up one of my own teen's devotionals and opened it. The words that jumped out at me said, "WHERE IS YOUR MISSION FIELD?"
Teens have been my passion since I taught back in the mid- 90's but I guess I always thought my connection with them was completely based on the fact that being right out of college, there weren't all that many years between us. But when my own children became tweens and the conversations would go from in front of the TV to around the kitchen table WITH ME... I realized they can sense how much I love them without me even having to do anything special. Just listen, be my goofy self and let them BE who they are.
I started to think about all the books out there for them... there were some but what teens go into the bookstore and head right to the self-help section for teens? What books could I suggest for them?
Well, they wanted me to help them now.... NOW... not when I found a book and after they had the chance to read it.What could I offer with my writing background? What kinds of topics would I cover?
That's when I decided I would focus on TEEN GIRLS.
My "Advisory Team" of 30 lovelies that I like to refer to as The Butterfly Girlz have shared their lives and their best advice with me for the book and the girls from "the gathering" group on facebook, which is comprised of 230+ girls from around the country, is always buzzing with issues, advice, girls crying out for help.
I have even spent hours on the phone with MOMS who beg, "I just need your advice..."
There is a need for this book. There is a need for teen girls to feel like they have someone to turn to.
So, I see this book becoming almost interactive when paired with the LIVE scenario of a facebook group!
So, we are headed up the hill of this big ride that starts with this book proposal.
So, as you see, I propose.

Safari CSS EffectsApril 24, 2004
After spending weeks on end coding around the quirky demands of today's browser space, occasionally it's nice to design for a completely controlled environment.
Mac OS X is proving more and more useful the further I dig in, and lately I've been playing with the built-in web server. Apache and PHP come pre-installed, you just have to turn them on.
I'm running my localhost web server from 'Diemos', the secondary partition that also stores my project files. Setting up aliases is proving useful, so that while my directory structure looks something like this:
- Projects |- Bright |- web |- mezzoblue |- (Other Projects) - www |- bombay |- delhi |- wiki |- zen - (Other Directories)
…I can point virtual directories outside of the 'www' directory, which serves as my root. So throwing all my Bright Creative .php files in
/Diemos/Bright/web/ is accessible as
http://localhost/bright/. Next step: virtual subdomains so I don't need to keep setting a root addess variable in PHP.
Anyway. The point of all this is that I put together a very basic page to serve as my test site's root index. My primary browser is Safari, so I took the opportunity to play with the new
text-shadow CSS property. (Hit the thumbnail link if you're not using Safari). Combining this with a bit of
opacity (upcoming in CSS3, supported now) a bit of generated content, and some guaranteed, non-standard font choices, I've caught a glimpse of where CSS is going. I like it. A lot.
No images were harmed in the making of this page, it's all pure CSS effects. Here's to 2011, when we might even be able to use this stuff.
Reader Comments
I just wanted to see your home ;)
It is exciting stuff but like you say it will be very long time before we can comfortably use the cool things you have demonstrated. It is still risky to dump tables for layout, which really sucks.
I have been doing this for some time. I have set up MySQL and I use a database allong with a little PHP and DOM scripting to list all my current projects and a hidden list of my completed projects. As well as links to other useful stuff like PHPMyAdmin and my router.
I realize I could achieve the same goals by just using bookmarks, but it gets many more geek points doing it this way. And it really wows a client when I pull out my Powerbook and I can show them their entire (completed) site ready for their aproval without having to worry about wifi access or anything else.
It also makes development time way faster, and more enjoyable, especially from a table at Starbucks!
When you get your virtual subdomains working, please post about how to do it. I've been trying to figure that out. I agree that developing on a localhost web server is convienient.
"It also makes development time way faster, and more enjoyable, especially from a table at Starbucks!"
Very much so. The improved speed is a big plus, and now that the summer weather is starting in earnest around here, I don't suspect I'll be too hesitant to find a patio or park bench from time to time.
Jay Allen and Adam Greenfield recently weighed in on the 'virtual office' – http://www.jayallen.org/journey/2004/04/the_truly_virtual_office and http://www.v-2.org/displayArticle.php?article_num=703
If you're going to be doing much development on your Mac, I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron Faby's ( http://www.aaronfaby.com/ ) 'Complete' packages. These are much more full featured than what comes out of the box and have their own handy dandy preference panes:
Apache 2: http://www.serverlogistics.com/apache2.php
PHP4: http://www.serverlogistics.com/php4.php
Tomcat: http://www.serverlogistics.com/tomcat.php
MySQL: http://www.serverlogistics.com/mysql.php
I have to agree with Leonard. Aaron Faby's packages are simply amazing. Not only are Apple's PHP, Apache and MySQL builds limited, they are very hard to upgrade and or modify the base configuration without recompiling from source.
Aaron's packages come complete and with access to all the configuaration files (ie. httpd.conf, my.cnf and php.ini). This makes adding extensions and virtual hosts much easier.
Evolt has a good tutorial on setting up virtual host under Mac OSX. If you're not familiar with UNIX, I would suggest using BBEdit to edit the httpd.conf file. Note: use the Open Hidden File option in the File menu!
The tutorial can be found at http://www.evolt.org/article/comment/18/13138/
Opacity works in the latest Mozilla aswell now :). Shadow don't yet, though, and the fonts chosen are probably all Mac fonts which are not present on Windows systems, so without good alternatives it doesn't look half as nice as the screenshot ^_^. And also, somehow the white part of the selection bar has a 1 pixel red line on top of it. Ahwell.
One thing about the generated content… Why don't you just use a counter? (content: counter(name) " ") (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters)
David Robarts saith:
"When you get your virtual subdomains working, please post about how to do it. I've been trying to figure that out."
I'm no Apache expert, but I've got this working on Windows XP. Anyone who knows more, feel free to fix my errors and security problems.
1) In your httpd.conf file, add or uncomment this line:
NameVirtualHost *
I think the asterisk might pose a security problem, but I don't fully understand "the IP on which Apache receives requests" in a localhost setup, and that's the only thing that works.
2) Below that, add as many <VirtualHost> blocks as you please. To wit:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "C:/apache/sites/blog"
ServerName blog.test.sft
.sft is a fictitious TLD that I made up for the purposes of subdomains. Since I use my own TLD, I can make up as many "domains" and subdomains as I please.
3) In WinXP, go to %systemroot%/Windows/system32/drivers/etc and open the "hosts" file. Add lines for all your subdomains, like so:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 apache.sft
127.0.0.1 test.sft
127.0.0.1 blog.test.sft
Unfortunately, you can't use wildcards in the hosts file. Mozilla respects them, but IE doesn't.
I don't know firsthand about the Mac OS equivalent of the hosts file, but a Google for "mac equivalent hosts file" seemed to yield some pertinent results.
After you've saved your hosts file, you should be good to go with as many fake domains and subdomains as you please. In the above example, http://blog.test.sft will show the contents of the C:\apache\sites\blog folder. :)
Leonard, those 'Complete' packages (http://www.serverlogistics.com/) are quite a find. Thanks!
2011? A bit optimistic, don't ya think? ;)
I've been running an Apache server on my XP system for some time now for development. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem developing a recent project for a client (http://www.ascam.co.uk), since the .htaccess files I used to make friendly URLs worked remotely but my local Apache set-up hated them, and ended up killing my computer.
Anyway, I used PHPdev (http://www.firepages.com.au), which is a great tool for developers.
BTW, I've been waiting for opacity for some time. The IE and Moz specific css commands just don't cut it.
I don't have either of the first two fonts in the list, but I'd rather default to Georgia or Timse than a sans-serif font, as you've got in your stylesheet there.
Virtual Hosts? Get lazy!
Patrick Gibson has made available an excellent script for adding and removing them. You'll probably have to tweak it a little for your setup, but that's easy enough:
And to think that there are people who think that CSS has no future.
Here's a cheap trick I did with Safari's text-shadow support and a bit of JavaScript:
I don't advocate such effects, of course. ;) This was purely for my own amusement.
For those who'd like to setup Mac OS X as a personal web development platform, you can read this useful article at sitepoint.com http://www.sitepoint.com/article/os-x-web-development
It explains how to enable and configure Apache using virtual hosts for multi-projects management.
And even if Aaron Faby's package are cool, have a look at Mark Liyanage' website where you'll find other packages for PHP http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ , MySQL http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/ , PostGreSQL http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ along with helpful forums http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/ if you have problems installing them.
If you want to go further and make your Mac a real webserver, this article on MacDevCenter.com http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/08/23/jaguar_server.html can certainly guide you through the process.

One a PC yes, on a Mac no. In both the latest Firefox and Mozilla on a Mac an opacity value of less than 1 (or .99 in some cases) is treat as 0. In other words it is either solid (value 1) or invisible (value 0) and no where in between
Looks gorgeously fantastic (in my Safari). This only makes the need to stick to IE as the primary browser for development in market terms even more dumb than it already is.
And I'll definitely try using virtual hosts, that comes very handy for all my personal development needs.
In response to Paul, who said "it is still risky to dump tables for layout, which really sucks:"
If you have the patience, it doesn't have to be risky at all. Just take the time to do it right, and rest assured knowing that one day, when tableless design becomes easier, you will have the upper-hand because you made things work even when it was difficult to do so.
I designed, developed and continue to maintain the following website, which uses no tables and has, thus far, been very successful:
Thanks Lanny.
I used the Google search you suggested and found a site describing how to add a hosts file that blocks ad servers. I had already understood the apache side of things, but previously I thought the hosts file would be much more difficult. All I had to do was go into NetInfo Manager and duplicate the localhost entry in the machines directory and rename the copy to the name I wanted to use.
I'd avoid the (excellent) Aaron Faby for frequent tinkering and stick to the Apple & Mark Liyanage combo. They play a little better together, and Apple OS updates don't trample on things quite as much.
If you're heading down the virtual subdomains route, and assuming:
* you only want to look at them from your own network on which your machine has the address 10.0.2.1
* you don't have a domain and name server set-up
You can quickly create dummy sites in OS X using netinfo manager, or the command line.
I've created a subdirectory of /etc/httpd called "virtualhosts" and added the following line to /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
Include /private/etc/httpd/virtualhosts
Then I've a dummy virtual host entry in the file
ServerName dummysite.demo
DocumentRoot "/www/dummysite/docs"
ErrorLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /www/dummysite/logs/error_log 86400"
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /www/dummysite/logs/access_log 86400" combined
Options FollowSymLinks IncludesNOEXEC Indexes
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
As you can guess, in my /www directory I've a dummy site
| |
| +logs
And then the following script called "demosite"
allows me to generate new demosites by typing
demosite host1 host2 etc.
at the command line
foreach host ($argv)
echo "creating virtual host config"
sed s/dummysite/${host}/g /etc/httpd/virtualhosts.off/dummysite >/etc/httpd/virtualhosts/${host}
echo "creating virtual host site root"
mkdir /home/${host}
cp -r /www/dummysite/* /www/${host}/
echo "creating virtual host IP mapping"
niutil -create -u username -P password . /machines/${host}.demo
niutil -createprop -u username -P password . /machines/${host}.demo ip_address 127.0.0.1 10.0.2.1
echo "created virtual host ${host}.demo"
(adjust username, password and ip addresses to taste)
then view the sites from your machine by going to host1.demo or host2.demo
And make sure the following is all on one line…
sed s/dummysite/${host}/g /etc/httpd/virtualhosts.off/dummysite >/etc/httpd/virtualhosts/${host}
I've been using my powerbook for local development for a long time now, and the value of being able to illustrate why a PHP solution is the way to go for a client has been immeasurable.
As far as tableless design goes, I have't used tables for layout in over a year and I don't plan on going back.
I agree with Adrian Simmons
>>Virtual Hosts? Get lazy! Patrick Gibson has made available an excellent script for adding and removing them.
I've been using his script for over a year now. It's so easy. When I get a new project, I run the script to add (which amounts to giving it a name and deciding if you want it to install a folder for you). Then when I'm done. i archive the project to some back-up device, then run the delete portion of the script. It will even get rid of the folder if I want. makes life soooo easy, and gives me the time to concentrate on my projects rather than on dinkering in my system.
i've used apache, php and mysql to act as a testing platform on my powerbook before but i find myself a little wary of leaving them on all the time.
i believe it's quite possible when connected to the web for people to surf onto your computers local web server if they find your IP, say from referral logs? maybe a little paranoid but i would imagine that one of the benefits of using a local test setup is the privacy it allows
i'm fairly sure that "out of the box" activating the server allows access to anyone with such information
figure you might need to do some messing with the security settings the apache config file to prevent this? say the passwording of directories as a simple example or the blocking of all but your own IP?
if someones already commented on this forgive me, its late and i missed it :-)
aha, it appears on rereading someone may have. though my understanding of such things makes me unsure! maybe my bad! :-/

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
May 2010
New Insights Show Promise for Emissions Capture, Storage
Scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory discussed carbon capture in the U.S. and China at the Ninth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration. Credit: Scott Butner Enlarge Image
Technology for capturing carbon dioxide and safely storing it underground rather than releasing it to the atmosphere holds significant promise in the United States and abroad, according to researchers at the Ninth Annual Conference on Carbon Capture and Sequestration held May 10-13, 2010, James Dooley from the Joint Global Change Research Institute discussed results from two studies he's led at the institute. The first presentation assessed where and when carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology might be deployed and at what cost. This talk was given by his colleague Casie Davidson from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The second study focused on the potential for CCS in China. This talk was given by PNNL's Robert Dahowski.
Geospatial and temporal analysis of CCS deployment in the United States under selected climate change mitigation scenarios
Tuesday, May 11, 2010; 2:30 - 2:50 p.m.; Room 1-A (David L. Lawrence Convention Center)
Using state-of-the-art, in-house modeling tools, PNNL is now able to paint what could be the most comprehensive picture to date of where, when, and at what cost society might deploy carbon capture and storage within the United States in response to potential climate policy. PNNL scientist Casie Davidson discussed the deployment of CCS technology under several scenarios, based in part on climate legislation currently being considered. She discussed improvements to this work's underlying assumptions and costing algorithm, and presented results, including an animation showing potential deployment of CCS in the United States over time.
Regional Opportunities for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in China: Highlights from Final Results
Wednesday, May 12, 2010; 4:05 p.m.- 4:25 p.m.; Room 4-A (David L. Lawrence Convention Center)
The carbon storage potential in China may contribute significantly to climate change mitigation efforts. PNNL research engineer Robert Dahowski presented final results from a collaboration with China's Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics that show China has strong potential for cost-effective application of CCS technologies. In the study, the authors determined that in most areas of China, many candidate emission burial sites are close to where the emissions are produced. This means storing carbon emissions in China could be more geographically and economically feasible than previously realized and assist in reducing emissions from China's carbon-intensive economy.

"American Dazzle" camouflage cutouts
By an unknown artist, ca. 1917-18
Watercolor on board
6" x 29 1/4"
National Archives and Records Administration, Records of the Bureau of
Dazzle Patterns, Ship Camouflage
During World War I, German submarine attacks on
shipping threatened to cut supply lines to Allied forces in Europe. One
method of protecting ships was to paint them with a variety of camouflage.
These designs aimed to confuse an enemy submarine captain about his target's
course and speed. Most Allied ships used strong geometric patterns in
greens, grays, and blues, but American artists also experimented with
"dazzle" patterns where ships were painted in, according to a government
report, an "apparently grotesque and bizarre manner."

text: Robert, So have you actually used the satellite server? My biggest problem with using RHN has been the strong lack of deployments it's had.. A lot of people just naturally assume redhat is bad (hell, I even do. I use debian for all of my personal and corporate servers).. But very few who automatically take that stance have actually worked with the products enough to give emperical evidence as to why. It took a while to gather enthusiasm enough to evaluate it, and a couple of months of solid testing before I could recommend it. I've built about 1/2 dozen similar deployment/management tools at this point, each one built for a customer (hence the reason building 6 instead of just improving upon the same one). Imaging is one thing, and yeah kickstart is easy, no objections to that.. RHN just makes it a lot easier to deal with kickstart. It also gives a rather useful, but more enterprise focused management system to allow you to manage (software|config) channels, server groups, and a good method to deal with groups with unions & intersections. I'm finding it especially nice at one site at which 1/2 of their servers are used for testing and 1/2 for their production environment. Pushing new patches, scripts, commands, files to select sets of systems requires very little effort. RedHat's configuration management system is actually really nice. They've put a simple (but extensible) macro system into it, which allows you to keep one configuration file for all of the servers in a given class, when only a few things change, and having system-specific variables be parsed out when servers pull configs from the gold server.. Sure, you can do this with cfengine or pikt, but uploading a config file to a webform is a lot simpler than setting up cfengine/pikt and implementing it (I know this from a lot of experience. One of the lackings of using a yum/pxe/kickstart environment (of which I'm rather familiar with, currently managing 6 customers with a similar environment) is that there's no "already there" configuration/versioning management system. That was one of the key points of redhat, the fact that I can do at-will repurposing/reprovisioning (like turning a 100 server 30/70 app db server/app server environment into a 70/30 app/db server environment in 5 minutes without kickstarting and zero manual interaction).. In the end, it's probably just an apples/oranges comparison.. in a science lab/school cluster environment, it's probably more a more valuable place to use a more manual process because grad students are cheap, and interns are free.. :) In a corporate world, the $28k i'd spend for a 100 server environment to save a sysadmin's worth of time, pays for itself 10 fold in terms of environment consistency.. Either way, I'm not trying to evangelize, just relate my own experiences, and try to find the best solution for a given problem. What tools out there are good for this type of a situation, then?

If Danny Bernstein had been born in the 18th century, she might have accompanied Daniel Boone on his epic travels along the Wilderness Trail. Or, she may have been the one who led the way and let ol� Dan�l follow her path. The trim, attractive Bernstein has the bubbly demeanor of a debutante, but the heart and grit of a true adventurer. And, she has the single-mindedness to keep setting one foot before the other until she gets where she�s headed.
Bernstein began life in a land of concrete canyons and asphalt trails � Brooklyn, New York. But, after college, she and her husband moved to New Jersey and made a life-changing discovery. It was a local hiking club.
That was about forty years ago. Since then, Bernstein has logged thousands of miles and worn out scores of hiking boots on trails that wind through the highlands east of the Mississippi River and even some overseas. A move to Asheville, N.C. about ten years ago brought Bernstein to the heart of the southern Appalachians and the network of trails that reach north and south. In succeeding years, she hiked the entire Appalachian Trail (2,185 miles from Georgia to Maine); the South Beyond 6,000 (all the 6,000-foot mountains in the southern Appalachians); and all 800 miles of trails in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park.
Along the way, the �happy hiker� began cultivating another passion �writing. She produced Hiking the Carolina Mountains in 2007 and Hiking North Carolina�s Blue Ridge Mountains in 2009. The books, published by Milestone Press, are unique in their scope. They include much more than trail descriptions, milages, landmarks and the usual information. The first book, for example, details some lesser-known paths in western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina, trails in places like DuPont State Forest and Panthertown Valley. The second spans the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area from Pilot Mountain to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the Georgia border. Both texts include detailed notes about local geology, geography, flora, fauna, cultural history and much more. In fact, one reviewer suggested they be referred to as �trail compendiums� rather than guides.
In 2011, Danny Bernstein set off in another direction. She began a trek that would take her across North Carolina from west to east, following a route known as the Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST). The MST is an interconnected trail system that reaches from Clingman�s Dome in the mountainous western part of the state to Jockey�s Ridge on the outer banks. Along its 1000-mile length, it includes footpaths through national, state and local parks; routes along back roads and a few major highways; traverses through small towns and major cities; and, all along the way, a view of the landscapes and cultural features that make North Carolina unique. Bernstein hiked the trail in seventy-eight days, doing it in sections. The product of that trek was another book, The Mountains-to-Sea Trail Across North Carolina.
Only 36 persons have completed the entire MST (including one who did it three times) and some of those did parts of it by bicycle or canoe. Bernstein walked the whole way. It�s a method of transportation she prefers because it allows her to experience things that might be missed otherwise. As with her previous books, Mountains-to-Sea Trail Across North Carolina presents a picture of the areas she traversed with an emphasis on historical sites and events. She describes the Overmountain Victory Trail that her path crossed several times in the mountains; a fourteen year-old bugle boy who was killed during the American Revolution; sagging tobacco barns that speak to a critical part of our state�s cultural heritage; and even North Carolina�s colonial capital � New Bern. She does it with the ear of a poet, the eye of an artist, the curiosity of an historian and heart of an explorer.
Speaking to the Carteret County Wildlife Club recently, Bernstein gave a slide show of images from her most recent book and answered questions about her hike from the Appalachians to the Atlantic. She noted that her motto is, �No place is too far to walk if you have the time.� She said she�s at the stage in her life where she has the time and she intends to keep on hiking. Her next trek will be 440 miles on the Le Chemin de St. Jacques in France. Bernstein looks forward to the physical challenge, but even more so to the chance to meet new people, see interesting sites and immerse herself in local history. In essence, she just wants to find out what�s around the corner � like any true explorer.
Danny Bernstein�s books are available directly from the publisher at www.milestonepress.com, at the Great Outdoor Provision Company in Greenville, online from R.E.I. Co-op at www.rei.com and at some local outdoor retailers.

Larry Ellis Invitational Offers Venue for Conference-Wide Showdown
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's track and field team will send a contingent to Princeton this weekend to compete at the Larry Ellis Invitational. Though David Shoehalter, the Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field, noted that qualification standards this year were particularly strict, 21 athletes have earned the right to represent the Bulldogs at the meet, which will feature the entire Ivy League along with a slew of other strong teams.
With victories in the 200-meter dash, 400-meter dash and 4x400-meter relay already to his name this season, senior captain Matthew Bieszard has been the Elis' most consistent and top-performing runner so far. But in order to get in some speed work, he will step out of his comfort zone this weekend and run a couple of shorter races: the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay. Sophomore Daniel Jones will join him in both.
Filling Bieszard's spot on the 4x400-meter relay team will be sophomore hurdle-specialist Nnamdi Udeh. Udeh will also get a tryout on the 4x100-meter relay team in the absence of sophomore Dana Lindberg.
The final spot on the 4x100-meter relay team belongs to freshman Dylan Hurley, who will also compete on the 4x400-meter relay team along with freshman Mario Kranjac, freshman William Rowe, and Udeh. Rowe, who ran his first collegiate hurdles race less than a month ago, has also qualified for Saturday's 400-meter intermediate hurdles final.
The Bulldogs once again have proved their depth in the middle distance events by qualifying six total runners for the two elite races. Senior Charlie Jaeger and sophomore James Shirvell will jockey for position in a stacked field in the elite 800-meter run. Shirvell ran a blistering time of 1:53.59 in his return from surgery last weekend, while Jaeger also posted a season-best 1:55.17. Seniors Conor Dooney and John Van Deventer, both of whom have been sidelined for long stretches this year but have run strong times in the past, will race in the open 800-meter run.
The 1500-meter run promises to be a particularly exciting race for the Elis. Juniors Timothy Hillas and Michael Pierce and freshman John McGowan and Jacob Sandry will all compete in the elite race, while freshman Matt Nussbaum will run in the open race. McGowan's time from last weekend of 3:51.43 is the fastest on the team this year, with Pierce hot on his heels in 3:42.40.
In the longest race of the weekend, five Bulldogs will enter the 5000-meter run: junior Sam Kirtner, sophomore Ryan Laemel, junior Kevin Lunn, sophomore Miles Richardson and junior Matthew Thwaites. None have competed at the distance outdoors yet this year, but Laemel (14:43.93), Lunn (14:55.29) and Thwaites (14:53.72) all ran the 5000-meter run during the indoor season.
Finally, junior Mike Levine will compete in the discus throw, where he is always a threat to win, even at a meet of this size. Levine threw his best mark of the season at Harvard last week (54.17m) and has won at two meets in a row.
The discus throw, along with the elite middle distance and distance events, will be held on Friday evening beginning at 5:30 p.m. All other events will go off after the meet resumes the following day at noon. A full meet schedule along with heat sheets is available here. Results will be posted on www.yalebulldogs.com upon the meet's conclusion.

An incident reported more than an hour earlier may have led
to the shooting, police said.
The suspect's girlfriend called police and said her
boyfriend had threatened her with a handgun and fled, Fox 5
television reported.
One person was taken to the Palomar Medical Center in
Escondido, a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department dispatcher said.
That person's condition was not immediately known.
Twelve people were killed and dozens wounded during a

The Governor's Cup, Kentucky at Louisville.
Crunching a few numbers, since 1994, the series has been a fixture for television, albeit played on whatever day and at whatever time a network chooses.
Kentucky leads the series 14-10 and it has been a model for parity. Each school has won half of the last 10 games.
From coaches Howard Schnellenberger to Charlie Strong, Rich Brooks and Joker Phillips, the passion and bragging have been kept mostly at a healthy tone and temperature and decibel level.

Nobody needs to be told that our economy is going down the tubes at a rate unseen for decades. Every week brings new numbers that are setting records. In just the three months ending in November the job loss was 1.26 million, the worst since 1975. We have lost more than 2 million jobs in 2008.
To arrest this downward spiral, the Obama team is talking about an economic stimulus package of about $800 billion over two years. Some are complaining that this is too much. But it is actually not so large considering the size of the problem we are facing. It is about 2.7 percent of GDP. The recent increase in military spending plus tax cuts for the rich - compared to 2001 levels -- adds up to about the same.
Even if we take into account the rest of our red ink, and we actually hit the dreaded "trillion-dollar deficit" in 2009, how extreme would this be? A trillion-dollar deficit would be about 6.7 percent of GDP. In 1983, coming out of our last deep recession, President Reagan ran a deficit of 6 percent of GDP. And the current recession could easily be worse than that one. We really don't know where the bottom is yet.
The Obama stimulus also differs from the deficit spending that we accumulated in the Bush (or Reagan) years in a profound way. Tax cuts for the rich - and much more horrifically in the case of spending on the Iraq war - are unnecessary and socially destructive. By contrast, President Obama is proposing to spend money on things that we actually need.
State and local governments will need at least $100 - $150 billion next year to keep from cutting back on their employment and education and making the recession much worse. We will need increases in food stamps, unemployment insurance, and Medicaid spending for the poor - who are most at risk of suffering from the destruction caused by the excesses of Wall Street financiers and the government officials who failed to police them.
Obama's plan will also include spending to repair our roads, bridges, and schools - much of which is long overdue. There will inevitably be tax cuts in the package, but at least these will go to working and middle class people, unlike the bulk of the Bush tax cuts.
Two things that could turn the stimulus package into an even more positive force for change would be health care and environmental spending. The federal government can subsidize health insurance for the uninsured, with public sector insurance like Medicare, as President-elect Obama promised during his campaign. This would advance health care reform while also providing jobs and spending in the health care sector. To begin the transition to a less fossil-fuel based economy, the federal government can also subsidize mass transit, the retrofitting of buildings to make them more energy efficient, and start to build a 21st century electricity grid that can handle wind and solar energy sources.
The exact details of the package are not as urgent as its size and the speed with which it is implemented. President Bush and his Republican party have unforgivably destroyed thousands of businesses and hundreds of thousands of jobs by delaying the package until Obama takes office. Further delays by Republicans in Congress should be met with mass outrage.
If anything, the Obama team's proposed stimulus may not be enough. Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman has suggested four percent of GDP, or $600 billion for just next year. He may well be right. Better to err on the side of caution, than risk falling into a deeper hole that is even more difficult to get out of.

Five years ago, a serious man named Pavel Tsatsouline, a lean, muscular Russian who listed his former occupation as a physical trainer for Soviet special forces (which I assumed meant KGB), took me through a workout with an odd, low-tech device I'd never seen before called a kettlebell, a dense cast-iron weight, with a handle, that looks like a solid tea pot.
As I swung it through my legs and overhead, dead-lifted it, curled it and pressed it in flowing, natural, joint-friendly movements that weren't difficult but instantly turbocharged my heart rate and beaded me in sweat, Tsatsouline cracked a rare smile.
"This is the fitness secret of Russian strongmen," he said. "Everyone will use these someday."
He was right. Today, kettlebells are a hot fitness trend; shelves in sporting goods stores bulge with them, alternative designs are sprouting left and right, gyms are rushing to offer kettlebell classes, and "experts" abound, all kneeling before the now-legendary Tsatsouline.
When I left that day, relieved it was over and still obsessed with the man's Soviet past, I casually asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?" Tsatsouline smiled a second time. "Only in workouts," he said.

Research Highlights
November 2012
Tropical Clouds: From Jekyll to Hyde
Revealing the environmental conditions that push tropical clouds from fair-weather to stormy
Enlarge Image
From Jekyll to Hyde, this anvil cloud is an example of tropical clouds that evolve from fair-weather to stormy. Scientists at PNNL used observational data and high-resolution modeling to uncover and rank the key environmental conditions that encourage this transformation.
Results: It's a suspense story with a world-climate conclusion. Using high-resolution model simulations, two scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory uncovered the relative importance of unique conditions that lead to tropical rainstorm clouds using a novel mathematical approach. Among four key environmental factors, they found that the presence of moisture and vertical wind velocity events, about one hour before the cloud forms, are the prime culprits. The researchers validated the model results with unique data collected by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) atmospheric instruments.
Why It Matters: Weather is born in the turbulent tropics. A continual cycle of heat and moisture is pulled from the tropical ocean and transported around the globe on belts of atmospheric energy. Tropical clouds are at the leading-edge of these forces. Understanding how they form, and replicating their lifecycle in global climate models, remains an elusive goal for those aiming to project climate changes accurately. Scientists need a better understanding of how different natural forces, like moisture and wind, control the timing of clouds' transition from fair-weather to rainstorm clouds. The unique mathematical technique described in the study integrates field observations and cloud-resolving models to identify environmental variables important for tropical storm-cloud creation. The research will enable better predictions of these climate forces in global circulation models.
Methods: This research describes a novel mathematical technique to assess the comparative roles of key environmental variables and the distribution of moisture and winds inside of clouds that trigger deep convection in the tropics.
Lead researcher Dr. Samson Hagos and Dr. L. Ruby Leung, atmospheric scientists at PNNL, used a high-resolution model, data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility, NASA-TRMM satellite rainfall measurements, and the NOAA GFS-FNL analysis to develop an analytical method to represent four environmental conditions that trigger deep convection clouds. Four environmental conditions are represented in a vertical profile as vectors:
- moisture
- vertical velocity
- potential temperature
- equivalent potential temperature.
The analysis measures the degree of separation between the clusters of grid points in the vector space corresponding to the "transitioning" and "non-transitioning" convection conditions. The researchers' novel approach identified anomalies in the cloud environmental conditions that are important to trigger the transition to deep convection. The approach also quantified the degree of importance for each environmental variable in comparison to the others.
Identifying these key environmental variables, quantifying their relative importance and adequately representing them in models are among the most important goals of the ARM field campaigns. This research used data from the sites in Darwin, Australia; Manus, Papua-New Guinea; and Niamey, Niger.
While the specific vertical profiles of these variables differ from region to region, the study showed that the moisture and vertical velocity anomalies, occurring about one hour before the triggering of convection, are better predictors of the clouds' transition to deep convection.
What's Next? The researchers plan to incorporate information from the cloud-resolving model simulations that have been evaluated against observations in this study into climate model parameterizations of deep convection using probability distribution functions of environmental factors.

Educators from two local schools spent Wednesday promoting reading and literacy in different ways.
Educators from two local schools spent Wednesday promoting reading and literacy in different ways.
Students at Striplin Elementary School were reading their hearts out with Principal Delsia Easley, who entered a national contest to win 101 books, while Hokes Bluff Middle School set up a caf� inside the library where kids could sit, enjoy a snack and read after browsing at the Scholastic Book Fair.
Easley said she brought the whole community into the quest to win books in the Read Your Heart Out Principal Challenge with the Pizza Hut Book It! program.
She said she had to read from bell to bell through the school day Wednesday. Groups of students sat at the front of the school to hear stories throughout the day.
Mandisa Perry, the school's reading coach who found the challenge, said the activity helped explain to the children the importance of reading daily.
"If they see an adult reading and their parents reading, they're much more inspired," Perry said.
Guest readers, including Rep. Craig Ford, D-Gadsden, and Gadsden Police Chief John Crane, along with Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman, also visited classrooms to read.
Easley said the 101 copies of Jeff Kinney's new book "The Third Wheel," the seventh in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, would be given to some students in the school who met their reading goals.
Heather Hannah, librarian at Hokes Bluff Middle, said Wednesday was the first time the school has tried the book caf�, which the students had enjoyed.
Hannah said the goal is to teach literacy and reading, especially in middle school.
The kids could purchase books at the fair, along with tickets for a hot chocolate and a sweet treat, like a cookie or biscotti, before sitting for a few minutes to read.
Hannah said any opportunity to make a fun environment will "definitely encourage students to read."
"I liked having the snack, because you can actually sit down and read some of your book instead of going to class, when you might not have time to read some of your book," said sixth-grader Caylie Yarborough.
She had started reading an installment in the "Dork Diaries" book series.
Taking a break from "The Magician's Nephew," which he checked out from the library, sixth-grader Jacob Heath said he just likes reading.
