LINUX Administration for Dummies
Author: Michael Bellomo
Publisher: IDG Books Worldwide, Inc.
E-mail: email@example.com
Price: $24.99 US
Reviewer: Harvey Friedman
Linux administration? What is this book really about? Was it system administration similar to the classic "UNIX System Administration Handbook" by Nemeth et al., except with particular emphasis on Linux? Was it network administration dealing with hubs, switches, bridges, routers, etc.? What was on the CD-ROM, and how did it apply to administration?
After reading this book, I'm not sure I know any answers. In fact, I think the best feature of the book is that several times the author refers to Linux for Dummies, 2nd Edition to find basic information. The book lacks organization, the highlighted examples often have the wrong fonts for the computer/user dialog, and sections often contain contradictory paragraphs. In general, the writing style is obnoxious.
It would appear that the author either never heard of (or never used) the commands more or less except in the MS-DOS piping sense. In a few instances, despite admonishing the reader not to change anything in the file they want to view (as part of the example), he encourages using vi to view, despite warning that it may be tricky to use. It is just too easy for the beginner to err when using vi as root on a live system.
The book is concerned about users on a "Linux system", but doesn't say how they may be there. Nothing about, for example, Cyclades multi-port cards to allow multiple simultaneous users, or even the suggestion that family members take turns at the single-seat console. Just how is the na<\#239>ve user with a desktop computer going to know what is meant by a "Linux terminal"? Though he does mention dual-boot on one page, it is more to confuse the reader than to explain it. He was correct in stating that one can dual-boot via LILO; he missed the opportunity to suggest that, in addition, one could boot from a floppy disk, via loadlin from MS-DOS, from a CD-ROM, etc.
So from the limited discussion, I guess the reader must assume one is attached to the Ethernet for multiple users. The discussion of Ethernet cabling is lacking, in particular there is no mention of a hub when describing 10-BaseT. The author leads the reader to assume that ping stops automatically, but on Red Hat Linux 5.2 or 6, one enters CTRL-C after a reasonable time to get ping statistics about network connections.
Chapters 8 and 9 offer simple introductions to the basic protocols: TCP and UDP, and Internet addresses, masks and services. However, the explanation and example of subnets is wrong.
Chapter 11 considers UUCP and FTP quite superficially. That is not a problem with UUCP, because few people use it these days. But, when discussing setting up an anonymous FTP server, the author lists what purports to be a step-by-step method. Unfortunately, he doesn't describe what should be in /ftp/bin nor whether an /ftp/lib directory is needed. Why would technical book authors not try out their examples?
A whole chapter (12) was devoted to SLIP, but then the author claims it has basically been superceded by PPP, which is treated in a too-brief chapter (13). The chapters in Part V on Network File and Machine Sharing appear to have been written about five years ago, particularly those on NFS, NIS, and DNS.
Chapter 18, on printing, seems somewhat useful. I will note that if one wants to print on a printer on an Apple network, it is not always necessary to do so through Netatalk. Newer Apple Macintosh Laserwriters can be assigned their own IP numbers and names and can be accessed by following the instructions in the manual for printing from a networked UNIX machine.
Part VI, Electronic Mail, News and Web Browsing, is brief but somewhat better than most of the other parts. I was surprised that the author didn't suggest creating a message file to someone, using vi, and then giving the command "mail someone@domain < message". I guess he had never used the "mail" program when it was the only choice before such programs as Elm, Pine, and Netscape were written. I agree with his choice of Pine for e-mail and Usenet news, and Netscape for web browsing.
Part VII, Network Security, is mostly just buzzwords. For example, let me quote a couple of sentences. "TCFS, the Transparent Cryptographic File System, is a newer version of CFS with greater capabilities. Its chief advantage is that TCFS is user transparent, which is the same attribute that makes CFS so easy to use and administer." OK, this tells us that it is newer, but what are the "greater capabilities"? The accompanying CD-ROM dataplate contains such programs as Tripwire, Mon, Sudo, etc., but newer versions or better replacement tools can be downloaded.
Part VIII, Linux Disasters and Recovery Techniques, has a few commonsense ideas. One is to make regular backups. Others are to keep a good set of Linux reference material around, read Linux newsgroups, and make friends with other administrators.
Part IX is the "for Dummies" Part and lists some utilities, tools and web sites. Since the author seemed so inept through most of this book, I have no reason to think his personal ratings and recommendations are useful. I will note that I do think this part was written more recently than many other chapters in his book.
Overall, I think the bulk of this book was a reworked version of a UNIX system administration book from roughly five years ago. For someone who has never been previously exposed to system administration or network administration, looking up buzzwords from this book on a web browser might actually be helpful. Anyone who set up their Linux box following Linux for Dummies, 2nd Edition, or Linux for the Compleat Idiot, or The No BS Guide to Linux will probably be disappointed if they move on to this book. I don't understand how two reviewers on Amazon.com could give this book four stars out of five. I'd give it one star out of five, at best.
Harvey Friedman can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Had you added to the original post something like "even though the coupon says ammo is excluded, it does work" and/or "I placed an order for such-and-such ammo and got 10% off" there wouldn't have been confusion. Overall it was a good deal to post, so thanks for that. I'm not posting this to offend you, just some constructive criticism for future posts. |
No offence taken... I'll try to be more clear next time... |

When choosing where and how to place your tee on the tee box, it is simply based on the fact that the ball needs to be struck properly by the driver. Therefore, establishing the correct tee height is extremely important.
The correct height is completely dependent on the height of the driver being used. The top of the driver face should be at the same height as a point on the ball approximately 2/3 of the ball's height. This allows the sweet spot of the driver to connect with the center of the ball while keeping the bottom of the driver off of the ground, maintaining top swing speed through the shot, and most importantly, at the moment of impact.
Then just sit back and watch your ball soar, after a smooth, fluid stroke provided by you - the ultimate golfer.

Ask Ed: Grow Tip - Trichoderma Harzianum
CANNABIS CULTURE - Want to protect your plants against root diseases and give them a boost?
There's a fungal organism called Trichoderma harzianum that develops a symbiotic relationship with your roots, surrounding them and feeding them nutrients in return for their exscates.
It also produces toxins that kill pathogens and digest them as food, thus protecting the roots. There are several products that contain this fungus.
You can find more information on this fungus and root diseases here or in Marijuana Garden Saver on page 97.
Send your grow questions to Ed Rosenthal at firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow, this is the organism

Hemp flag to fly over US Capitol on July 4
Jul 3, 2013
By The Associated Press
DENVER — An American flag made of industrial hemp will fly over the U.S. Capitol on Independence Day.
Democratic Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado announced Wednesday that his request for the hemp-made flag was granted.
Polis has long pushed for the plant to be legal for farmers to grow. Industrial hemp looks much like marijuana but does not have its psychoactive properties. Federal law prohibits growing hemp, but not importing it.
Historians say the first American flags were made of hemp, which was raised by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Polis successfully amended the federal farm bill last month to allow farmers to raise industrial hemp. However, the farm bill ultimately failed.
Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Earl Blumenauer of Oregon also sponsored the hemp farm bill amendment.

A rally in support of New Mexico's driver's license law was held today in front of the Roundhouse. Click here to watch the video.
The rally, sponsored by pro-immigrant group Somos Un Pueblo Unido, featured several state lawmakers and a Catholic priest from Roswell. It came in sharp contrast to a tea party rally Tuesday that denounced the law, which allows undocumented immigrants to purchase state driver's licenses.
Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, has vowed to make efforts to repeal the law during the special session.
Your paper too huh? These racially/politically motivated Hispanic organizations and lawmakers are "Undocumented" or "illegal" immigrant activists. This is an issue about issuing NM drvers licenses to immigrants who are here illegally. I love immigrants, almost married one but we do have laws, weather we agree with them or not. Every country has immigration laws. Why is it the US is called racist for any kind of half ass attempt at enforcing it's laws. Our Federal government is even suing its States for passing laws to do things the Feds are suppose to be doing. How Ass backward is that?
Two kinds of immigrants, those with papers, those without. This rally is for those without.

Sinkholes are a common feature of Florida's landscape. They are only one of many kinds of karst landforms, which include caves, disappearing streams, springs, and underground drainage systems, all of which occur in Florida. Karst is a generic term which refers to the characteristic terrain produced by erosional processes associated with the chemical weathering and dissolution of limestone or dolomite, the two most common carbonate rocks in Florida. Dissolution of carbonate rocks begins when they are exposed to acidic water. Most rainwater is slightly acidic and usually becomes more acidic as it moves through decaying plant debris.
Limestones in Florida are porous, allowing the acidic water to percolate through their strata, dissolving some limestone and carrying it away in solution. Over eons of time, this persistent erosional process has created extensive underground voids and drainage systems in much of the carbonate rocks throughout the state. Collapse of overlying sediments into the underground cavities produces sinkholes.
When groundwater discharges from an underground drainage system, it is a spring, such as Wakulla Springs, Silver Springs, or Rainbow Springs. Sinkholes can occur in the beds of streams, sometimes taking all of the stream's flow, creating a disappearing stream. Dry caves are parts of karst drainage systems that are above the water table, such as Marianna Caverns.
Other subterranean events can cause holes, depressions or subsidence of the land surface that may mimic sinkhole activity. These include subsurface expansive clay or organic layers which compress as water is removed, collapsed or broken sewer and drain pipes or broken septic tanks, improperly compacted soil after excavation work, and even buried trash, logs and other debris. Often a depression is not verified by a licensed professional geologist or engineer to be a true sinkhole, and the cause of subsidence is not known. Such events are called subsidence incidents.
For sinkhole questions call 850-617-0301. For media inquiries please call the DEP Press Office at 850-245-2112.

Here's the MHHB celebration video from You+Dallas.
...seems likely, with the most prominent difference being the grand scale of the Dallas bridge.Originally Posted by lakewoodhobo
Here's the MHHB celebration video from You+Dallas.
I was driving across I-30, glanced to my left at the first Calatrava and was noticing how close it is to I-30, the future site of the second Calatrava. When you then look across towards downtown and notice how the State and County jails dominate the land between the two Calatravas, it just makes you shake your head. I think the way those two bridges perfectly frame up the jails, it'll make people do a double take. I know there have been calls to camouflage the jails somehow. You just can't put lipstick on that pig.
If building these bridges was supposed to be about doing nearby real estate deals, it's a shame to see the most prime pieces of real estate eaten up by those eyesores. If this were a grittier city, we could work around them. But this is Dallas. You can't work around that jail. The Dallas way is to sanitize, not work-around.
I'm interested in what happens when those two landmark bridges are sitting side by side and those big ugly jails are sitting there between them. I think when people *actually* see that landscape with their eyes, it will get them talking more. Shouldn't Dallas stop wasting time on a fantasy toll road that will never get built, and figure how to move, with the State and County, those jails? I'm not saying, let's move it now. I know there's not money for that and the economy is still recovering. But what about kicking off a process to move them 10-15 years from now?

As much as it offends those on this board who want to put a park in a drainage ditch (now there's your "lipstick on a pig"), the current location of the county courthouse/jail and the private state jail is just about ideal for those uses. If not there, where do you put them -- along with the nearby bail bondsmen and other supporting businesses? That courthouse/jail has to be somewhere in the county. Where else are you going to find a location with the same combination of excellent access (including public transportation), central location, low land price and a lack of existing neighbors fighting tooth-and-nail to keep it out of their neighborhood?
S Lamar and Grand.. there are several massive empty lots down there.. build a huge complex.
Okay maybe not... that's too close to the standing wave and cedar creek.
There really aren't a lot of better options. I suppose the only thing to do is to throw some LEDs on the jail to spruce them up a bit.
Also, can we not use the prisoners to build the trinity park?

Baltimore has its jail (almost a castle) and a pseudo supermax very near core, but not on the harbor. When you see it in pictures, it seems to fit. The bigger Dallas problem is the number of sleazy businesses nearby. That does not occur in Baltimore and probably other cities that dealt with the issue. When we ceded the area to the jail, we likely thought we may as well dump these places in the area. They do not need to be there and should not need a lot of investment to move them.
Being next to the jail/courthouse is not a problem. It is likely one of safest places in city. Being around the parade of low lifes cycling through these businesses is.
A developer already has show interest in the land between those bridges and his only concern was the Dawson State Jail just south of Commerce. He cited that the other jail and courts were a positive for the area providing regular activity to the area that a developer could leverage for retail. His proposed development would have centered around the Commerce Street & Riverfront Blvd Intersection all he wanted was for the Dawson State Jail to move out. The city has tried working with the state on moving or outright closing the Dawson State Jail since the state was closing a few jails last year to make up for budget cuts. The city had no luck convincing them we had the right jail to close.
The problem is no one wants a jail near their neighborhood no matter where you move these facilities there would be massive upheaval and public outcry. Governments try to keep from moving jails because they stir up way too many voters. Its like putting a liquor store on your street. Notice how they never just move around because it takes a lot of convincing to build a new one where some locals wont throw a fit and claim that they are are worried about the children...."property values".
It's the same issue with homeless shelters. They fit in fine if there is enough density, but they are eyesores next to the trinity and our new bridge.
I think we'll need to see much, much more development near the river, on both sides (like the Reunion Arena site and the areas on each side of the MHH and Continental), before anyone takes that idea seriously. But I agree there should be a long-term plan to phase it out. Maybe more like a 20-30 year plan.
Put some fiberglass turrets and embattlements on it ala Cinderellas Castle and Medieval Times....
It would appear that construction of the Sylvan Avenue bridge will soon begin. There are surveying stakes all over and this sign is now posted by the boat ramp in Trammell Crow park.
photo by RCdave, on Flickr
Sorry for the cruddy IPhone picture
From what I have seen, the bridge will be elevated the width of the floodway, so Sylvan will no longer get closed when the river floods. I also believe that there will be exit ramps down to Trammell Crow Park.
Finally a construction project that I'll be able to document with aerial photos from start to finish.
Do we need a bridge at sylvan? I like the fact that it dips down into the flood plain. If the park is build, it won't flood anymore, right?
No the Trinity park is designed with the idea that it will flood a couple times a year as it always does. Even the Trinity Park bathrooms are designed as temporary movable trailers that get parked at set locations and moved out of the flood zone when flooding rains are on their way. The Trinity Park is really only the city trying to get more use out of the land in between the levees when its not flooded.
The question about whether we need a Sylvan bridge well I think that has to do with traffic circulation and connectivity. One of the key issues with the Trinity now is access. When you improve access to areas they are likely to become more used and by increasing the reliability of the Sylvan connection we could increase the connective tissue between the Design District and West Dallas and the entire Trinity area. It shouldn't require a freeway bridge to get from one place to another for those short trips and in some places along the Trinity its been very much like that and by bringing this road up and out of the flood zone residents and businesses can depend on it for transportation.
AT last check this is what the bridge would include:
3400 ft. long, 28 span bridge
6 lanes with 14 ft. travel/bicycle lanes
6 ft. wide sidewalks in both directions
800 ft. long park access ramp
Retaining walls at bridge approaches
Continuous street lighting
Diaphragm walls and levee modifications
Interesting. Thanks!
Federal law requires replacement bridges be built out of the floodplain. See the thread on the Northwest Highway bridge over White Rock Creek. The neighborhood wanted the replacement to look like the old bridge, even at the cost of the bridge being closed a few times a year. But our lords and masters in Washington don't allow it.
With all of those lanes, the bridge is going to be nearly 100' wide
Check out the DMN pic of lightning hitting the arch of the MHH bridge, should be on the front page of their website for awhile
^ There is a red navigation light on the top. I wonder if it made it.
Here is another article about the picture
The next time I hear the comment "why do ya'll have such a big bridge over such a little 'ol river?", I'll be showing them the bridge webcam archive from today. http://trinityrivercorridor.com/brid...ex_nojava.html
I wonder why they are not working on the MHH Bridge 24 hours a day as promised? Last night the lights were not even on. Now that they have pushed the opening into April, because it rained one night, why not just push it into May.
The river is a mile wide in South Dallas. I drove down there after work last night and it's really roaring. The whole of the riverbottom is full. Looking at the water levels of area lakes, Grapevine is over 5 feet high so there should be more water than normal in the river in coming weeks as they drop that extra water out.
Casper, I haven't seen anything official on the opening. I thought it was supposed to be next week. The I-35E Ramp appears to be finished except for barriers and striping. What else is left?
If the opening is indeed now in April, all I can say is TxDOT is a joke.
Lunch time yesterday I was heading back to work and rather than getting off at Continental, I took Woodall Rogers. They were pouring concrete on the approach ramp from southbound I-35 to the MHH bridge. TxDOT said a couple days ago that the rain has pushed back the opening a week. But....that does not matter. What matters is they said a month ago that they were going to work 24/7 to finish the project, come hell or high water. Well, they are not working 24/7. Not that anyone really cares, since no one has yet to explain how to even get on the bridge from Downtown.
Same people who said that the MHH bridge would be open in March are the same ones who said the Northwest Highway bridge and path underneath would be open by now. Instead, they pushed it into the distant future.
If you want to see something cool, flood wise, check this out, from last night. Below, the walnut tree in the foreground is maybe 200 years old. It's at John Neely Bryan's old cabin site. Man in the foreground is Mr Pemberton, great grandson of the pioneer people who settled that land. The red "X" I marked using photoshop, is the location of a railroad spike driven into the tree during the 1908 flood. Spike is still there. In the background is the Trinity. In normal weather, the river channel is over a mile away! Levee building over the last century has pushed water on the residents not protected by the levees, squeezing water elsewhere, so the current flood level in regards to the tree is more like comparing apples to oranges. Pretty cool though how far the water can move.
This Pemberton fellow seems like a genuine badass.
Tighten the female dog!
This is likely the last time we'll see Sylvan Ave closed for flooding. It is my understanding that soon Sylvan will be closed until the new bridge is constructed.
I took this picture this morning from the just inside the floodway on the north side of Sylvan Ave, looking south.

Along with fixing the Sylvan bridge, the Wycliff-Market Center-Harry Hines connection needs to be fixed. With better, almost direct access, to the medical facilities and wholesale complex, the new and improved Sylvan Bridge will become a huge benefactor to West Dallas residential.
Since I work in the Dallas Trade Mart and Dallas World Trade Center which are at the intersection of Market Center and Harry Hines, I am all to familiar with the problems with those intersections. I have never heard anything about the city trying to correct any of the problems with that area.
You bet. He has that pioneer blood in him. There are many solid people that live along the river in that part of town that are rock solid. He was gonna try and get me to kiss this crawfish. One of those country boy snipe hunting tricks. This crawfish happened to be carrying egg sacks and we put it back. Otherwise I would have ended up with it attached to my nose, I'm afraid.
Calatrava's $182 Million Bridge Favors Park Over Freeway
"I strolled down to the riverfront to have a look at the bridge. As I ducked under railroad viaducts clanking with slow freights, I confronted a spaghetti of elevated highways and ramps that took 10 minutes to traverse. Only homeless men shuffled amid the shadows and hellish din of screeching truck brakes.
This wasteland walls off the 1.5-mile western edge of downtown from the river. Jails and derelict industry punctuate leftover bits of space. I had to scale a 30-foot levee to reach the river and bridge."
It is seriously a wasteland. With all this talk about restructuring the Sports Arena TIF to spur growth across the river, I wonder why the city isn't more focused on improving Continental from Houston St to Riverfront. People won't walk or even drive to the Continental Bridge Park if there isn't a safe, well-lit connection from Victory/downtown to the levee.
Interesting article, thanks for posting. I didn't realize Calatrava criticized those sprawling fly over bridges that approach Large Marge from I-35. I'd bet $10 he muted his criticisms while in Dallas since he's trying to get a gig to design I-35 as well.
Also interesting that the author believes the Trinity Trust has nothing to do with the Trinity Toll Road:
I guess Gail Thomas got to this guy and pulled the wool over his eyes. The author is dead on right that the toll road will forever ruin the corridor. But unfortunately, there is absolutely no advocacy group for doing what is right and smart -- I don't think he understands what Trinity Trust is really all about. If they get through the hurdles and ever do eek out enough money to build that toll road, they will be forced to throw out the "context sensitive" BS because it can't be paid for, and we'll wind up with something as awful as the spaghetti string of ramps approaching Large Marge from I-35 and Woodall. Luckily, it can't be built and the budget gaps will protect the river. Thanks to all the, um, "einsteins" who voted for the toll road in 2007, we'll just continue to sit and spin year after year after year.Cheer on the Trinity Trust, whose vision strategically integrates infrastructure and environment-enhancing investments for economic development.
Stop the road builders who hope to cram a new highway into the river-bottom parkland. It would entomb the park completely in yet another soon-to-be-clogged roadway and kill investment by further walling off West Dallas.
Well, that it exactly what it is. A big bridge over a tiny river (that could pass as a ditch, tbh) and large floodplain, in the middle of the vast rolling prairie. Makes no sense, but the bridge is nice to look at when it is all lit up and when the Trinity actually does flood. Maybe the appearance will be better if they ever get those lakes up that they want. I, for one, see no purpose for a faux suspension bridge in the middle of the prairie, but I understand there is a vision that the City of Dallas is trying to create, so I applaud them for their effort. Just seems too gaudy tho.
Its a cable stayed bridge its not a suspension bridge.
One little note if you go to Google maps today you will notice the new bridge is actually marked as a driveable road that connects Woodall Rogers to Beckley on the other side. Google has been getting more agressive to make sure its road maps are more up to date so I guess that's why they are so quick to add the new connection into their system.
Bridges cross all kinds of things, including train yards, plains, gorges, urban space, valleys, etc. I know that people know that, but this is Dallas, an easy target. So we get made fun of because the bridge crosses water.
I kinda think the gaudy factor will be a touch high until other Calatrava components of the horizontal landmark are built.
this looks like somewhere

I see both sides of the bridge and nowhere is nowhere to be found.

I dont think it goes no where, I'm joking with those that say this is a pointless bridge to nowhere. I had a feeling no one would get it the second i hit submit. I love the bridge. Love seeing the Levees full of water too.
RAIN! To....much.....rain.....

Poor kids! These parents need to think about their kids' futures and whether those names would be wanted. Just sad. |
Hashtag is pretty dumb, but just run through a list of celebrity baby names and you'll lose faith in humanity. One couple named theirs "Pilot Inspektor". There's also a Jermajesty, Tu Morrow, and Moon Unit out there. |
"Hash" is going to be a horrible nickname. |
The worst baby name ever is "Donald Trump." |
To clarify, I think "Hashtag" is ridiculous name for an American child. However, we can't forget the Chinese who name their children after various things such as the Olympics. So perhaps there's a "Honey Boo Boo" running around somewhere in China? |
Wow.... I hate th word "hashtag" to begin with and don't aknowledge anyone who uses the so called word and quickly change the subject. This baby being named one of the dumbest things ever... Wow... Michael Jackson's name Blanket is a better name everyone knows what a blanket is, we knew what a blanket was hundreds to thousands of years and we will know it in the future too. "Hashtag" is a new term hat won't be around decades from now. These parents are retarded. The doctor should have bunched this baby in the face after finding out its name and I hope children AND adults lick on tease bully and beat up his kid for the rest of its life until its parents learn from their mistake and the kid legally changes its name. |
Pick on, tease, bully and bat up* |
#hasworstparentsever |
Hashtag hashtag on twitter? |
Well if the kid grows up to be a stoner then it might be perfect. |
Oh man, that's so wrong, yet so funny! |
That's sad. I would hate to have it as a name. I hate it when people say "hashtag" in real life in reference to twitter. Always bugs me when people use it on facebook too. |
Poor children... now THIS is a negative impact of social media if anything can be considered so |
You know you're addicted to social media when you force your child to grow up with such a ridiculous name... |
Yeah, I think they're going to regret this when in 5 years or so some other form of social media is the next big deal. |
. |
Hahaha wow, Euonia. You win. |

Exactly the sort of starry-eyed, bullet-spraying hyperbole that drains credibility from any brand of political discourse, Stephen Vittoria's exhaustive portrait of McGovern and his career leading up to the derailed 1972 presidential campaign may be useful as home-front history, if only it didn't rant, yowl, and wet its pants so much. McGovern's path into Nixon's brick wall is punctuated by looming labels CHAOS, DARKNESS, JOY, TRAGEDY, etc.; Amy Goodman's narration, though correct, has a petulant, Spanish Inquisition ring to it, only made more childish by the film's cheap idealization of the senator from South Dakota as some kind of pacifist Savonarola, overdue for canonization. (The titular grab from Lerner & Loewe is indicative.) The lesson learned by the Democratic Party in '72that an outspoken liberal with even a moderate sense of ethical integrity has a dead yellow dog's chance of becoming an American presidentis only reinforced, and so the attempts at applying the McGovern paradigm to today's struggles are dubious at best. The realitiesin corpses, limbs, and liesof Vietnam may be clearly dissected, but Norman Mailer's St. George and the Godfather is a far more entrancing version of the campaigner's tale.

The Cambridge Peace Commission promotes peace and social justice within Cambridge and in the wider world. It works to reduce violence and advocates ideas and programs that affirm diversity and build community within our city. It links peace groups, social justice efforts, anti-violence coalitions and the municipal government, and pays special attention to violence affecting youth. The Commission builds community by celebrating local people and efforts with programs and events, and by organizing community forums on issues affecting the community. It supports Cambridge's sister-city relationships, including those with Yerevan, Armenia and San José Las Flores, El Salvador. Read more about who we are and what we do.
Please join the Cambridge Peace Commission as we launch an exciting new initiative: a new relationship between Cambridge and the City of Les Cayes, Haiti!

We will have an evening of discussions with: Professor Peniel Joseph • Mayor David Maher • The Cambridge-Haiti Sister City Committee We'll also have time to meet, mingle, and discover more about this effort to connect these two communities as we: • Learn about the history and current events in Haiti with Dr. Joseph from Tufts University; • Find out why the connections between people and governments are so important; and • Hear about the powerful experience of Cambridge's most recent delegation to Haiti, why the members are so hopeful for the future, what will come next, and how you can support this effort.
Sponsored by the Cambridge Peace Commission, City of Cambridge Hosted by the Central Square Theater
For more information, contact the Peace Commission at 617-349-4694 or email@example.com About this Initiative: The Cambridge-Haiti Sister City Committee is working with the Cambridge Peace Commission to establish a sister city relationship between Cambridge and Les Cayes, Haiti.

Take the Cambridge Youth Violence Survey
If you are under the age of 24 and live in Cambridge, you are invited to participate in this short, simple youth survey on Youth Violence. This is a completely anonymous survey that the Cambridge Peace Commission is conducting to hear about what is really happening from the voices that matter -- those of our City's young people!
Take the Online Survey!
The Cambridge Peace Commission has addressed violence and promoted peace and justice in schools: • Worked with the Cambridge Public Health Department, Police Department, Department of Human Service Programs (DHSP), and the Cambridge Public Schools to create the Cambridge Community Response Network, as well as served on the network's Steering Committee. • Co-facilitated a Forum on Violence and Youth with the Cambridge Police Department and the DHSP City Peace program to help all three departments in efforts to address and prevent summer violence. • Had an ongoing presence at CRLS, as appropriate, in support of students, faculty and staff in the wake of any incidents of violence affecting Cambridge youth.
The Commission has worked to promote peace and justice locally as an alternative to violence: • Continued the Summer of Peace initiative to promote a summer free of youth violence in Cambridge by bringing together City staff, police, schools, clergy, youth centers, clinicians, academics and community activists to identify potential problems and sources of violence in the community, foster collaborations among the agencies, share information and report on accomplishments. • Participated in the Domestic Violence Free Zone (DVFZ) Core Group (steering committee) for the City of Cambridge, provided strategic expertise, planned and supported systemic changes in city policy, guided the projects of the DVFZ and organized the City's annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities.
In the community, the Commission has fostered peace through building connections and community: • Served on the Community Engagement Team, a multi-agency collaborative, which reaches out to underserved Cambridge families and connects them to community events and resources, develops community leaders, and supports agencies in working with a diverse community. • Collaborated with community groups and organizations to create the North Cambridge Gathering, a neighborhood-based approach to promoting safety, fostering community and creating opportunities for neighbors to get to know each other and build relationships. • Organized the 24th annual Cambridge Citywide Holocaust Commemoration, worked with students, musicians, communities of faith, school and library personnel, and City departments to create an inclusive and moving ceremony with music, remembrances and reflections from a survivor of the Holocaust. • Organized the annual Martin Luther King Day Commemoration and Remembrance.
The Commission has promoted peace and justice through connecting Cambridge with the wider world: • Coordinated the Cambridge-Haiti Sister City Committee, which leads the City's efforts to establish a sister city in Haiti, organizing an initial working delegation to assess how to leverage the academic, financial and organizational resources of Cambridge to support and expand the educational, environmental and public health work currently being carried out in the Les Cayes region of Haiti. • Participated in the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Cambridge-El Salvador Sister City Project, which brought community leaders from San José Las Flores, El Salvador to Cambridge so that local residents could learn about the ongoing connections to and support for that community. • Provided a place in city government for people to examine the impact of conflicts, wars and natural disasters around the world in Cambridge; examining and strengthening the connections of communities in the City to other nations; and addressed them in meaningful and effective ways.

Linda Carter of Hagerstown knew she had a lump in her right breast.
The lump was so large that she characterized it as "bigger than a golf ball, but not softball size."
"You could see it through the shirt," the 48-year-old said.
But, she kept telling herself, she couldn't afford to take time off from work to get the lump checked out. And she didn't have insurance to pay for it.
Carter said that's when her landlord first mentioned Meritus Health's Make A Difference Breast Cancer Screening program, which gives free screenings to women who are uninsured or underinsured.
She said she even was going to make an appointment, but she just couldn't seem to get the time off from work.
So in a way, when Carter was involved in a car accident in the summer of 2011 it was actually a small blessing. Because, she said, she had no choice but to be off work and realized she had the time to make that appointment.
Carter was still healing from her car accident the day she came into the breast cancer screening.
"I had two black eyes and my knee was in a brace," she said.
Carter said she hobbled into the room and waited for her appointment. After an examination by the nurse practitioner, she was sent to get a mammogram that same day because there was cause for concern about the size of the lump. She was then sent to get an ultrasound.
Through it all, a Make A Difference breast-health navigator helped Carter find the doctor she needed, helped her with financial aid and, most importantly, held her hand.
A biopsy confirmed what Carter had feared — she had stage three breast cancer.
Carrie Starkey, Make A Difference program coordinator, said the program has seen more than 2,700 women during its 10 years. And through those screenings, 19 women were diagnosed with breast cancer, she said.
"It's designed to help uninsured and underinsured women living in our community to get free breast health education, screenings and detection and treatment, if necessary," Starkey said of the program.
Held monthly, there are three more screenings for September — Thursday, Sept. 13, Saturday, Sept. 15 and Saturday, Sept. 22 (see breast screenings information box on page A7 for times and locations).
A grant-driven program, the Make a Difference Program is funded by the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Koman for the Cure, Avon Foundation of Women and Ride Across Maryland, allowing the program to continue to offer its services for free. Locally, the program coordinates with Meritus Health, John R. Marsh Cancer Center, Breast Cancer Awareness - Cumberland Valley and the Washington County Health Department's Breast and Cervical Cancer Program.
The screenings are open to women ages 18 and older, regardless of where they live, Starkey said. Women from Baltimore and Prince George's County as well as West Virginia and Pennsylvania have used the free services. And women ages 40 and older who are due for a mammogram or have not received their first mammogram will either receive a mammogram that day or within three weeks.
During the screening, Starkey said women will fill out a short form, then meet with a nurse practitioner who gives a clinic breast exam.
"Those women who are due or need a mammograms will receive one often the same day as the clinic, " Starkey said. "We want it to be one-step for them."

Oh to answer the OP: These days it's Johnny's Saloon in HB. Find out why for yourself.
Last edited by job; October 10th, 2012 at 03:02 PM.
i used to go here all the time when i was in college. love this place.
haha... we had a girl apply for the receptionist position at my old job (surgical ophthalmology office) and her previous work experience was at the library in lake forest.
johnny's! i used to go here also. if i weren't a mother and still found it appealing to hang out in bars, i would totally still be going to johnny's. a friend of mine used to manage/bartend there. she went on to be a suicide girl and moved to vegas for the cheaper living.
I've been spending a lot of time at the Dog on Katella, great outdoor firepit area. Drinks are good but pricey, and their bartenders aren't nearly as cute as the Goat bouncers. That soft pretzel they have is amazing though.
Oh, and it's right down the street from the Cherry Pit!!
What about the Salty Dawg?
Despite being an alcoholic, haha, I've been to like one bar within the last five years.
I was a bit of a barfly when I was going to uni in the bay area. Lol, and I have some good stories from those days. :P
