The Issue with Wisdom Teeth
August 22nd 2014
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that emerge when a person is a teenager or even in their twenties, and for years, the removal of them has been seen almost as a rite of passage as children become adults. Is it really necessary, though? Some patients aren't sure. While this is a matter that should definitely be discussed with your local dentist, here are some common reasons why wisdom tooth extraction is often important for your overall oral health:
- Due to their position in the mouth, wisdom teeth often don't have enough room to grow properly. This can cause them to erupt at an angle, even horizontally.
- Wisdom teeth can also only partially emerge, or even remain completely hidden, leading to them becoming trapped within your jaw. Because this area is difficult to clean properly, gum disease and other infections are much more common to occur.
- If you experience chronic pain in your gums near your wisdom teeth, extraction can help prevent further infection.
- A cyst can sometimes form in the area, which can damage bone and tooth roots.
Of course, there are also some situations in which wisdom teeth extraction might not be necessary. These include:
- If the teeth are fully healthy
- If they've grown in correctly and emerged completely
- If their positioning matches the rest of your smile
- If you're able to properly clean and care for the wisdom teeth, ensuring their future health.
Of course, every patient's situation is unique. If you have concerns over the state of you or your child's wisdom teeth, please contact your local dentist or oral surgeon. They can inspect the area with the help of X-rays in order to determine their position and current health, as well as what you can expect from the extraction process, should it be needed.
The Benefits of Green Tea
August 8th 2014
People are always trying to find the tastiest and best ways to quench their thirst. Whether it is a glass of water or an energy-inducing sports drink, finding a beverage that is both satisfying to their taste buds and nourishing to their bodies can be difficult. What people may not realize is that tea, specifically green tea, has amazing benefits for your body, and is also delicious! Being excellent for your oral and bodily health, green tea is an excellent option for those who wish for something flavorful and wholesome.
For those who are heart conscious, green tea is amazing for your heart! Green tea contains catechin, which is an antioxidant that fights and prevents cell damage. This equals a strong, healthy heart. Studies have also proven that consuming green tea increases the amount of activity in the brain that controls working memory. Another instance where green tea is good for your brain, it has been shown that green tea blocks the development of the type of plaque that is linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Green tea has also been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels, which is great for those who have diabetes. Having an amino acid called theanine, a calming effect can take place while drinking green tea. This is especially helpful for those who are under high levels of stress. Though losing weight is never an easy experience, green tea boosts your metabolism, making you burn more fat calories. A high valuable beverage, green tea has the potential to help your smile, heart, and brain!
Don't Put Off Important Dental Care
August 8th 2014
We've all had moments where we put off something important. Maybe it was cleaning the house, or getting out to the grocery store, or getting your taxes in the mail. All kinds of things can get pushed aside and even forgotten because we're simply not ready to tackle them yet. But when it comes to your oral health, procrastinating is the last thing you should do.
We understand that your time is precious, but so is your good health and wellbeing. Being proactive about important dental care will benefit your smile. It will also benefit your pocketbook and result in a more positive experience with your dentist.
When you put off essential care, that could mean a more invasive and more expensive procedure later on. But when you seek help early, right at the beginning of a problem, you can receive more conservative treatment. With conservative dentistry, the goal is to preserve as much of a patient's natural smile as possible.
Some of the most common things that are put off are treatment for gum disease and cavities. But treatment for both is much easier and more cost effective when it happens early.
Do you have important issues that need immediate treatment? Don't put them off any longer. Call your local dentist today for an appointment!
Periodontal Disease and Systemic Health: The Mouth-Body Link
July 22nd 2014
Most people know that gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) can cause major problems like bleeding gums, tenderness, and even eventual tooth loss. The more serious complications associated with this common disease, however, are not as readily recognizable. Keeping your gums free of infection can actually help you avoid a variety of other health problems now and in the future.
Oral Health and Your Future
When your gums are infected, the bacteria that flourish there can easily travel through your body to other tissues and organs. Because this process takes time, you may not even realize that you are at risk until more pressing symptoms arise. Medical problems that have been linked to untreated gum disease include the following:
- Complications in pregnant women, including pre-mature birth and low birth weight infants
- Dementia in older patients
- Pancreatic cancer
- High blood pressure
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Rheumatoid arthritis and other bone/joint problems
- Complications in the treatment of diabetes
Treating periodontal disease now is one of the first lines of defense against these and other medical conditions. Your dentist can discuss with you the periodontal therapy process, providing you with all the information you need to make a decision regarding your oral health and your systemic well-being.
Healthy Gums, Healthy Body
If you have noticed the tell-tale signs of gum disease (including bleeding gums, sensitivity, redness, and a receding gum line), it is imperative that you make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Early treatment of gum disease helps ensure a faster recovery, thereby reducing your risk of developing diseases and health conditions like those listed above. Call your local dentist today and take the first step toward a healthier body and a happier smile with periodontal therapy.
Four Tips for Helping Your Child Have a Better Dental Visit
July 7th 2014
As a parent, helping your child create positive associations with the dentist is an important step in helping them build healthy habits. By creating positive associations at a young age, your child will be more likely to make daily care and regular checkups a priority. In today's post, we want to offer four steps that will help your child have a better dental visit, in addition to helping him or her create healthy habits.
Encourage Regular Brushing and Flossing
Your first step should be to help your child learn the importance of daily care. One way you can do this is by demonstrating healthy habits yourself. Why not make brushing and flossing a family activity? There are even specially made toothbrushes that play music to make the experience more fun. Brushing and flossing every day will help your little one have healthy teeth, which will help him or her enjoy better checkups.
Talk to Your Child about What to Expect
If your child is visiting a dentist for the first time, talk to him or her about what to expect. Children are sometimes frightened by new places, sounds, or people. Bringing your child with on you on one of your own appointments can help dispel anxiety and get them accustomed them to the atmosphere of a dental office.
Avoid Scary Words or a Scary Tone
Whether or not your child needs extra care, avoid using words like "pain" or "shot," and be careful about using your own dental history to relate to your child. Instead, think of ways you can encourage your little one before an appointment. Talk about the positives of having a healthy smile and the ways that dentists can help them improve oral health.
Avoid Bribery
It might be tempting to promise your child a special treat if they make it through their appointment, but this tactic can send the wrong message. Put the focus on good oral hygiene and the importance of a healthy smile instead. Teach them that healthy teeth are a reward in and of themselves.
Do you want to schedule an appointment for your child? Give your local family dentist a call today.
The team at Voller Dentistry has provided Kittanning and Pittsburgh area families with excellent dental care since 1981. Call the Voller Dentistry location closest to you to reserve a checkup, consultation, or second-opinion visit with Dr. Voller. We serve patients from Harrison Township, Freeport, New Kensington, Oakmont, and beyond.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) -
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is praising more than 100 people who helped rescue a 6-year-old Illinois boy buried beneath 11 feet of sand at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore for more than three hours last month.
Pence told people gathered in Michigan City on Wednesday that Nathan Woessner (WAYZ'-ner) of Sterling, Ill., became "the miracle of Mount Baldy" when he was pulled alive from the sand on July 12.
All 135 rescuers received certificates for their efforts and were thanked by Nathan's parents. Many hugged the boy.
A second event honoring the rescuers was scheduled later Wednesday at Blue Chip Casino.
Nathan was hospitalized for two weeks but has recovered and has started first grade. The National Park Service is trying to determine what caused Nathan to become trapped.

I would like to preface my thoughts by saying that with the current economic instability, any company that invests in research and development must be considered brave. Selecon New Zealand had an idea, and felt strong enough about it to put its money where its mouth is.
The company's forward-thinking attitude toward manufacturing, research, and development has brought about a new era in lighting instrument manufacturing in New Zealand, and a wish to share this with the world.
I am the head lighting technician for three major centers in New Zealand which encompass nine performance venues. When I was faced with replacing a large group of profiles, I contacted Selecon to determine what they had to offer. This was my first contact with the Pacific Cool Light (pictured), albeit an artistic rendering at that time. I looked at the rendering as the companyexplained the theory behind the project. I thought, "This looks just like an upside-down Strand 264." It all sounded a little hard to believe, but I was impressed enough to delay any decisions for six months to allow time to get a prototype.
Test day. . . the prototype arrived. We use zoom spot profiles in our facilities. Selecon manufactures a 12-28-degree zoom and a 23-50-degree zoom, as well as 20, 30, 40, and 50-degree fixed beams. Next month it plans to release a Super Wide 90-degree version. Selecon sent us a 600W 12-28-degree zoom Pacific Cool to test around the center. We set it up as sidelight, overstage, box booms, FOH bridge 1, and FOH bridge 2. We were testing against the 1,200W Selecon medium zoom spot, which was the instrument it would be replacing. From side, overstage, and box boom positions the output more than tripled. For the FOH positions, we were testing the unit against the Selecon 2,000W zoom profile narrow. From bridge 1, a 15m (49.5') throw, the Pacific Cool output was 85% brighter than the 2,000W profile. Also, the Pacific Cool 600W is hotter in the center, which allows for overlaying in a wash situation. From bridge 2, a 20m (66') throw, the Cool's output was down 5% on the 2kW profile.
Then I asked about testing a prototype of the 1,000W Pacific Cool. I was told to wait one minute--off came the 600W base and on went the 1,000W base, in less than that. The output difference between the 600W and the 1,000W was about 10%, but the field difference was noticeable: the field of the 1,000W was very flat and even, perfect for patterns and specials. A good bit of the credit for the beautiful, even beam goes to the Selecon-designed lenses, which hold focus across the complete beam width. The lenses are also coated to assist the projection quality.
After analyzing the test results, we placed an order for the 1,000W Cool because it met the criteria for the best results for our venue. The 1,000W lamp we are using is the Blue Pinch from Philips, a compact filament similar in size to the 600W lamp. The lamp derives from the original 1,000W lamp that Philips developed for the Vari*Lite(R) VL5(TM) wash luminaire, but this is only one of a current choice of four lamps that can be used in the Cool. [The others are the 575W 115V/600W 240V compact filament tungsten halogen, 575W MSR, and the 150W or 70W CDM. The LDI Award-winning MasterColor CDM lamp is a compact arc metal halide lamp of 9,000-hour duration for architectural applications. The MSR is the short arc version used in the Martin MAC 500 and 600, providing a huge amount of light from very small instruments.]
This choice of four lamps all in the one instrument is made possible by different lamp modules. These modules include the required lamp base that is spring-mounted to reduce vibration, the wiring, and microswitch, which disconnects the power as the module is removed. Peak/flat adjustments are simple using a planetary gear recessed into the bottom of the module, which is fast to operate--and keeps cool.
OK, so it has more light for less power, but what about the features?
One of the first things you notice about the Pacific Cool is the 2kg (4.4lb) aluminum heat sink sitting at a 45-degree angle at the bend. The cold mirror transmits most of the heat from the lamp bubble onto this heat sink, leaving the body of the instrument as cool as our South Pacific Ocean. In fact, the instrument is so cool that the body is made of carbon plastic, which makes it very lightweight.
Whatever you do, however, don't be fooled by the coolness of the lamp house body. Complacency could lead to touching the heat sink, but you probably wouldn't do it again. The surface temperature is very similar to other instruments of the same wattage, but you might forget about this when using the cool controls.
The base-down arrangement of the lamp keeps the base and wiring out of the heat, which has to help my maintenance budget. The light is collected in an ellipsoidal aluminum faceted reflector, directed onto the flat cold mirror, then reflected down the lens tube.
When mounting the unit in the box booms, I particularly like the rotating barrel, allowing good shutter lines across the front of stage, or any obtuse angle you might run across. Also, no matter which way the barrel is turned, the shutters can't fall out. There are two pattern slots on either side of the shutters, allowing for two static patterns, or the front slot will take a pattern rotator.
The Cool is 120mm shorter than the 1,200W profile. It will fit into smaller hanging positions, like enclosed circle and balcony rails, box booms, or orchestra pit rails.
We received our consignment of 1,000W Pacific Cools only late last year, so not everyone has had an opportunity to try them out. The Royal New Zealand Ballet's La Sylphide was the first touring company to use them and they were impressed, but the first real workout the Cool received was from Opera New Zealand's Macbeth. The Australian lighting designer appreciated the clean white beams and beautiful shutter lines.
All my technicians really like working with the unit. As for me, I look forward to our board of directors giving me the opportunity to save on power charges and reduce my maintenance bill by replacing more of my older instruments with the lighter--and cooler--Pacific Cool.
Clint Buel is the head lighting technician for The Edge, the operational group for The Aotea Centre, Town Hall, and Civic Theatre in New Zealand.

Hi GowenC, and welcome to the forums.
We can't really diagnose the problem from a picture - we need to see your code to see what's going wrong. If you have a link you can post to a live version, that would be great; otherwise, please post both the HTML and the CSS you're using.Don't serve your porridge and then go out for a walk.

Hi Gowen, I wish I could help but maybe like TechnoBear say, you might want to post the CSS and HTML code so that it is easier to see the problem.
And having 2 pictures like the first post would help us to understand the problem as well.

By Angeljean Chiaramida
Staff Writer
---- — It happens every now and again when the elements have their angry way with Salisbury Beach and exhume a reminder of what this nation endured during World War II.
According to Newbury resident and Salisbury Beach lover Janet Hickey, as she walked the beach on Sunday, she realized that Friday's furious storm tides had exposed two pieces of 20th century history: the remains of concrete gun batteries that guarded the coastline during World War II.
"The largest is maybe 15 to 20 feet in diameter, with a turret in the center," Hickey wrote in a note to The Daily News. "Apparently, there was a military reservation at the point during WW II, with a commander's tower and barracks to protect the entrance to the Merrimack."
Hickey's correct. From 1942 to 1945 as World War II raged, like other areas along America's coast, Salisbury Beach Military Reservation had gun batteries. According to northamercianforts.com, the site held a four-gun, 155mm battery on "Panama mounts," along with a commander's tower, barracks and other support buildings on the site on the Atlantic side along the southern portion of what is now Salisbury Beach State Reservation.
A 155mm gun is a large piece of artillery, capable of projecting a 100-pound shell up to 15 miles.
Reservation Field Operation Team Leader Mike Magnifico knows just about every grain of sand along the 3.8 miles of state-owned Salisbury Beach, having worked for the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, which owns the beach, since 1985. Magnifico said on rare occasions when the erosion is the worst, the gun turrets appear, then they disappear again when the sea pushes the sand back into shore.
"There are World War II gunnery turrets out there," Magnifico said. "During the war they were used to keep a look out for enemy subs. They're round, and they had guns that rotated 360 degrees."
After the surprise Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor nearly wiped out the Navy's Pacific Fleet on Dec. 7, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan, as well as Germany, joining the European Allied force. As fear gripped a nation at war, many worried an enemy attack on America's mainland was imminent. With tens of thousands of miles of exposed coastline, Naval bases and shipyards, part of America's homeland defense tactics included establishing guard posts all along its shores.
An invasion never occurred, but the coast did face a deadly threat — German U-boats. The stealthy submarines operated off the entire U.S. coast, sometimes sinking ships within sight of the shoreline. Coastal batteries like Salisbury's were intended to be used to shell U-boats. No U-boats were ever sunk in local waters.
According to fortwiki.com, military sites in Salisbury were established by the War Department in 1941 on land leased from the state of Massachusetts at two separate locations. Where the gunnery batteries are now exposed was the largest of the two locations, on 237 acres north of the entrance of the Merrimack River, south of the then town-owned Salisbury Beach. Its purpose was the first line of defense against enemy ships and the protection of the entrance to the Merrimack River.
The towers and guns were dismantled and the site returned to the state when the war ended. But the mounts remained, usually buried deep in sand.
The second military location was only about an 1 acre in size, in the residential area of the town beach, consisting of a fire control observation tower. According to northamericanforts.com, the site remained after the war ended, and was used by the state police until the structure was destroyed by a hurricane in 1958.
This second location was part of a series of stations for the Harbor Defenses of Portsmouth, where the Naval Shipyard was building warships. Other similar stations were placed on Plum Island and Crane Beach, but no remains exist today.
Along Salisbury's rugged coastline today, other historic artifacts dating back to World War II sometimes turn up, Magnifico said, as he pulled out a cup full of gun shells washed up by the sea over time.
And, Magnifico added, the sands of time have already begun to bury the military remnants that have caused such interest recently. For although the gunnery towers were sharply exposed right after Friday's tide hit, sand is already coming back to cover them up, he said.

Like dieting, this is a processThursday, October 9th, 2008
I do a lot of biking and treadmill work to try to keep my weight in check. Some weeks, I like what I see. Other weeks, I'm ready to toss the scales out the door.
Putting the principles of environmentalism into practice is sometimes a similarly difficult process.
I often forget to take my clothe "green bag" to the grocery store. I try to keep my energy use at home low, but, even now, Florida temperatures are anything but inviting.
Still, I do what I can.
I realize that some days I'll do better at reducing my impact on the planet than I will other days. I can't beat myself up because I am not 100 percent compliant with the myriad eco-rules floating around the Web (and, often, in my head).
I suppose the guilt I have is worth something. If my conscience is bothering me, then, chances are, there's something I can do to mollify it.
Got to take it day at a time.
Just like that diet.

2014 IDM Conference Season Planning
Looks like it's time to start planning for the IDM conference season. There are some great conferences planned and I need to figure out how to start budgeting for some of these. Let me know if I have missed any conferences that should be listed.
- Identity Relationship Management Summit (Arizona Biltmore | Week of June 2, 2014)
- Identity Management 2014 – 18th June 2014 – Hotel Russell, Central London
Finally connected the dots …
My son (10) has been asking about VPNs a lot lately. Which I thought was because of all of the news lately about the NSA. I ended up showing him tunnel bear, which he quickly installed on his laptop and iPhone. I complimented my son for his interest in security and gave a wink about sticking it to "the man".
A few days later my wife and I were chatting about letting the kids have more access to social media and she said, "well I still have the kids convinced that you can see everything they do on our home network". A lightbulb immediately went on over my head.
… Apparently I am "the man".
Cool Open Identity Stack Scripts/Utilities – GitHub Repos #ForgeRock #IDM
I was working on a few scripts to test out some of the new REST APIs in OpenAM 11. I saved them out to GitHub and you are welcome to have at them.
I thought it might also be cool to share some of the other Repo's that are related to ForgeRock as well. There are some really cool scripts available for interacting with OpenAM, OpenIDM and OpenDJ.
These are freely available but not officially supported by ForgeRock or the developers of the scripts. Just click on the person's name to go to their GitHub repo.
- Brad Tumy (AuthNUser, checkEntitlements, listAgents *New API and Legacy API*, updatePolicy)
- Simon Moffatt (Really cool interactive menu!)
- Ludo Poitou (Some really handy utilities e.g.: logstat.py & filterstat.py)
- Chris Ridd (Very handy utils e.g.: slowops: analyzes operation times in access logs)
- Simon Moffatt
- Simon Moffatt (Interactive mode menu for calling OpenIDM's REST APIs)
Full OIS Stack:
- Warren Strange (Ansible (like puppet) scripts for deploying the OIS stack to Vagrant)
I am sure there are other great repos that I have missed, so feel free to add them in the comments and I can update the post.
Disclaimer: These scripts have been very handy to me but YMMV.

OpenAM Entitlements and RESTful Web Services
I am wrapping a crazy busy week. Probably one of my most technically in-depth week in a really long time. So what kept me busy? Deep-diving into OpenAM's Entitlement's engine, learning about it's REST interfaces and how to extend OpenAM to leverage custom service types. I'll explain later since I know your thinking, "Tumy … dude, what the heck is a service type?".
Alright, let's jump into it …
Entitlements are policies or rules that state what you (or any user) can and can't do. Sounds simple right? In Information Security entitlements usually define what resources a user can access, how they can access it, when they can access it and so on and so on. A resource can be a web url, a banking transaction, a database record, or frankly anything you might want to protect. Typically entitlements are expressed through XACML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XACML. Entitlements are used in access control settings and used to define fine-grained authorization rules. This is starting to become too much of a Entitlements 101 class so let me just jump into the hand's on stuff.
Ok, Forgerock … in their OpenAM product they have an Entitlements engine which is essentially a Policy Management Point and a Policy Decision Point (Google is your friend if you don't know what those things are). Out of the box OpenAM supports a few different "service types" which are essentially a set of resources and their associated actions. For example a web url would potentially have the actions of "GET" and "POST". There are a couple of other service types too (a banking example and a few others). But what happens when our resource is not a web URL and we want to have actions besides "GET" or "POST". What we if we wanted to have a resources defined as database table names and we wanted to have actions such as "READ", "UPDATE", "DELETE". We want to be able to create rules that we can either allow a user to read information from a specific table or deny their ability to read from a certain table. Ok, hopefully you get the idea … if you don't email me and we can talk about it. OpenAM has a great set of command line tools that you can use to interface with the product, these tools have also been "web" enabled on a jsp page which is accessible through the admin console (it's disabled by default though).
To create this new service type there are a few steps we need to take:
- Create a custom Application Type
- Create a custom Service Type
- Create a custom Application
- Create the policy, using the custom service type
4 easy steps.
The Custom Application Type is a few lines that get imported. Let's assume that you have enabled the web ssoadmin.jsp and have accessed it here:
You would see a page like this:
Do a quick search for "create-appl-type" and you then click on it.
Fill in the form that is displayed with this information:
Application Type Name: BTPoliyService
This creates the set of actions that will be available for your resources of this type. Save that and then you need to create the Custom Service Type. This is created by modifying an XML file and then importing that file into a form that is similar to the one we just saw.
The service type provides a little more detail on the actions and sets the True/False values that will be displayed in the policy manager.
<?xml version="1.0″ encoding="UTF-8″?><!DOCTYPE ServicesConfiguration SYSTEM "jar://com/sun/identity/sm/sms.dtd"><ServicesConfiguration><Service name="BTPolicyService" version="1.0″>
<Schema serviceHierarchy="/DSAMEConfig/BTPolicyService" i18nFileName="BTPolicyService" i18nKey="BTPolicyService">
<AttributeSchema name="serviceObjectClasses" type="list" syntax="string" i18nKey="BTPolicyService"/>
<AttributeSchema i18nKey="READ" name="READ" syntax="boolean" type="single" uitype="radio" >
<AttributeSchema i18nKey="DELETE" name="DELETE" syntax="boolean" type="single" uitype="radio" >
<AttributeSchema i18nKey="UPDATE" name="UPDATE" syntax="boolean" type="single" uitype="radio" >
<AttributeSchema i18nKey="ADD-ACCESS" name="ADD-ACCESS" syntax="boolean" type="single" uitype="radio" >
In the above XML file, you should notice there are several spots where I have provided the name of the service "DatabaseTablePolicyService" and then the actions and their True/False values. In the ssoadm.jsp search for "create-svc" and then copy and paste this file into that form.
Next step and last step of the "extending" part of the process. So, in the ssoadm.jsp web page, search for "create-appl". Click on this link and it will open a form very similar to the "create-appl-type" form. Enter the following information:
resources= table://*
Notice in the above file, that I add the application name and it matches the name we have used in the other configurations. I added the actions again and finally I actually define a resource. I personally like to describe the resource type in a URL style … I can use "table://" as my resource in the policy and that will help remind me later what type of resource that is. You don't have to prefix your resources in your policy with that … it seems to be optional.
At this point you can jump back over to the OpenAM Admin console and create a policy based on this resource, as you can see in the following screenshot.
So, that's pretty cool stuff … The entitlements engine is pretty robust, it's fast and … it has a RESTful interface. I am going to do a deep-dive blog post on the RESTful services at some point but for now let's just take a look at how you can evaluate an entitlement.
Evaluating a Privilege:
* ssoToken = Authenticated User's Token
* iPlanetDirectoryPro = session cookie … admin users session token
* action = action user is attempting (GET, POST, READ, DELETE, etc)
* application = application type of policy (defaults to iPlanetAMWebAgentService)
* Subject (user attempting action … encoded session token)
curl -v -H "X-Query-Parameters: ssotoken:AQIC5wM2LY4SfczpL5a3M02ju3uyOd6iMj4zZvPZXB3BNQ4.*AAJTSQACMDE.*" -b "iPlanetDirectoryPro=\"AQIC5wM2LY4SfcxcPg_yUwYu-iQPHH663tv9AnoEEr6j_2k.*AAJTSQACMDE.*\"" "http://am.ssobridge.com:8080/openam/ws/1/entitlement/entitlement?action=READ&resource=table://my_table_name&application=BTPolicyService&subject=4l18suAL/hXNCfzykwIlbV0WbtM%3D"
This will return a JSON formatted object:
"actionsValues":{READ:"true", UPDATE:"false", DELETE:"true", ADD-ACCESS:"false"},
You can create a policy that would return attributes, from the user's identity record, along with this JSON object. There are also RESTful services that will just return an allow or deny, which is great if you don't need as much information back.
So, that was real high level and really basic but I hope that I gave you some ideas for the potential of this engine. Let me know if you have any questions or want to chat about. Also, I am available on a consulting basis to help design or implement this in your environment.
- There were a bunch of people at ForgeRock that help me out at various points through this. You guys know who you are … I'll leave your names out so that you don't get bombarded with requests.
- Also, there were a few non-ForgeRock guys that went through this last year and gave me some pointers along the way. Thanks!
- And finally … to the guys that did this first at Sun. Thanks for building this stuff and documenting it. I am thankful that those web pages that you created haven't vanished yet.
OpenAM: Protecting a Web Application
In response to a post that I had written before on how to install OpenDJ and OpenAM I had someone remind me that I never came back and wrote the follow on post (which I had promised to do). They posted the question to my other blog site (which I have since migrated over to this site). I am going to answer the question here as this is the only blog that I am presently maintaining.
Can you paste me the link which talks about next part of the installation.
1. Configure OpenAM to look to OpenDJ for users
2. Install a Web agent
3. Create an Access Policy to protect a web application.
I often say that I am successful by "standing on the shoulders of giants". There is so much great "how to" content on the ForgeRock Community wiki site and that is where I turn to when I am looking for help or advice on OpenAM, OpenDJ and OpenIDM. Take a look at the section, "OpenAM: How do I?". There are a number of "how-to" articles that are literally step by step with screen shots.
The link for the article that specifically talks about how to configure OpenAM to protect a web application can be found here: Add Authentication to a Website using OpenAM.
******** Shameless Plug Alert ************
To protect a single web site is pretty simple and straight forward but sometimes you have unusual or difficult use cases where you need another set of eyes or additional help architecting your solution. I have a lot of experience with the ForgeRock suite and I am available to provide consulting services. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in contracting my services.

"great smoke"
Another great cigar from CAO.It had a nice burn from start to end w/o requiring a touch up.Complex flavor with almost a woodsy, leather overtones. I loved it !!Quaker in Reading, Pa January 23, 2010
"tough to smoke"
I bought a 5 pack of these to try. I don't really know how they tasted. I had to work so hard to smoke them i didnt get to enjoy them. I don't know if it was just the box they were from or what. They did not feel overly hard. Each stick was an extremely hard draw and hard to keep lit. I am going to try a 5 of a different shape and hope they are betterreg in florida November 12, 2008
"Hit or Miss"
I've had 5 of these from the same shop. 2 of them were perfect. In fact, some of the best smokes I've ever had. Sadly, 3 of them were terrible. Wrapper started peeling off right away, flavor was foul, and wouldn't burn right. Makes it hard to rate this cigar, because the 2 good ones were GREAT. One thing is for sure: I'll never gamble on buying an entire box of these.Jason in Youngstown October 26, 2008
"Among the Best"
An outstanding stick, arguably the best Nicaraguan puro. Starts off spicy, gets your attention, then smooths out to a complex, mild to medium creamy, flavor-packed powerhouse, which remains consistent right to the nub. Exceptional, a new favorite, and definitely a must try for everyone, advanced beginners and up.ROTHNH in Midcoast September 24, 2008
"Buck-a-stick cigar masquerading as premium"
I bought a box of these at auction and opened the box a few days after they arrived. The first, and, I hope, only, one I smoked had a severe blockage at the head, which yielded only slightly to serious massage. The wrapper cracked after I got through the first 2 inches of the cigar and I didn't last much longer. This junker looked fine and tasted okay, but it's not something I'll buy again. Soon as I figure out how to return these, I'll spend the money on something I can actually get smoke through.Ted Padgett in Lilburn, GA September 14, 2006
"One Fine Smoke,,,, Relaxing"
The flavor is VERY nice,,,start to finish,,, partially cedary (is that a word?), nutty and cocoa-ish,,, Very complex and intriguing. I loved it, very relaxing. Might have gotten a dud concerning construction,,, the wrapper seperated some. Firm ash, even burn and a nice draw. Not sure about the negative comments in some of the previous reviews. Looking forward to my next one. Highly recommended!!!!Scott V. in Tampa February 10, 2005
"Very nice premium smoke"
I'm puzzled by some of the recent negative comments here. I've burned up 4 boxes of these and keep coming back for more. The box is over-built, but the cigars are perfectly constructed, with nice draw and slow, even burn with good ash. Very pleasant aroma and medium toasty cocoa flavor. The Conquistador is one of the longest burning 6" sticks I've ever had. Great for an evening appertif.Doc Arnold in Reno, NV November 14, 2004
"not good at all"
I bought a box of CAO Criollo's about 5 months ago(june '04). Beautiful box, handsome cigar, ugly expierence. The first cigar had to be re lit constantly. By the end of the cigar I was out of lighter fluid. Nice tasting stick but a real pain in the butt (and jaw). The only way to keep it going was to continuously be puffing on it. Not the way I prefer to smoke cigars. I left them in the humidor for two months and tried another. Same expierence, ugh! Took one more out of the humidor after three months and took the beautiful white wrapper off and the cigar wrapper came with it. Checked the other cigars in the humidor to see if the humidor was off. Nope. The Feunte 8-5-8's were their perfect selfs. So were the Onyx's. Conclusion? CAO Cirillo at $165.00 a box were a large disappointment. Good thing my brother-in-law doesn't know a good cigar from rolled up dog turd. He thinks I like him because I give him a Criollo every time he's over. His sister's happy and I'm out a box of high priced cigars.Lee in Connecticut November 6, 2004
"CAO Heaven"
The CAO Criollo is by far, no question, the best Cigar I have layed my hands on in a long time. This Cigar, from the moment you peer at the intriging box, as you open the box you are surrounded by an intoxicating aroma. This Cigar is gently wraped and well presented, however. When you light this baby you will know instantly just how good this Cigar is! This Cigar burns even and slow, the taste is very close to some of the best Cubans I have ever had, the finish, who wants to finish a Cigar like this?Adam in Virginia February 28, 2003

Criminal Justice
Charges Dropped Against Bar President Who Went Armed to Screening of Batman Movie
Posted Dec 4, 2012 2:05 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Charges have been dropped against a Connecticut immigration lawyer who reportedly went to an Aug. 7 screening of the Batman film The Dark Knight Rises openly carrying a licensed handgun.
Sung-Ho Hwang, 46, who is currently president of the New Haven County Bar Association, had faced misdemeanor charges of breach of the peace and interfering with police officers, the Connecticut Post reports.
Hwang apparently was in compliance with state law concerning firearms. However, his lawyer said Hwang didn't immediately understand police were speaking to him when he was told to put his hands up with flashlights shining in his eyes at the movie theater. He obeyed the officers' commands when he did understand.
The incident came in the aftermath of a July 20 shooting massacre at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., that was showing the Batman movie. A dozen patrons were killed and nearly 60 more were wounded. Suspect James Holmes is being held awaiting trial.
"When baseless breach of peace and interfering charges are brought against people that have a right to carry, it really threatens our constitutional right to bear arms," Hwang said after his arrest.

When U.K.-based fashion brand Topshop opened its first American store in New York in April of 2009, fashion followers were taken to a whole new level of love. On Sept. 17, The Bay Calgary will be opening a temporary Topshop store at its 200 8th Avenue S.W. location, while flagship stores across Canada continue to be announced. Other international stores such as H&M and Anthropologie have made their way over to Canada and are here to stay; let's hope Topshop extends its stay, too.
Since Topshop was established in 1964, it has been one of fashion's most looked-to clothing stores for trendy, quirky clothing because of collaborations with young designers and iconic names such as Kate Moss and Maria Francesca Pepe. To stay connected with all things Topshop, follow them on Twitter (@Topshop_Canada).
Topshop has gained popularity with memorable merchandise like these floral trousers ...
... and this Doberman sweater ...
... and this tassled purse.

Miami Heat talking points: Why the Chalmers injury could help Heat
By Ethan J. Skolnick
This isn't a Mario Chalmers-bashing blog entry.
He's done a nice job of late, not making as many mistakes even on nights he hasn't shot well.
So, especially in the absence of other point guard options, it's a positive that he'll miss only a couple of weeks with his knee injury.
With that said, the more time that Mike Bibby can get, playing with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, the better.
Many of us expected Bibby to eventually supplant Chalmers, perhaps with a couple of weeks left before the playoffs. This just expedites that promotion. And this week will give Erik Spoelstra a long look at how Bibby handles quick point guards (he'll see Rodney Stuckey, possible playoff opponent Jrue Holiday and Kyle Lowry this week). So far, Spoelstra hasn't used him all that much against Derrick Rose, Tony Parker or Russell Westbrook.
Plus, it's commonly believed — even by many inside the organization — that Chalmers focuses and plays better when not comfortable. Unless Bibby flops, Chalmers will likely return as a reserve, where he could serve as an energizer on the second unit with Mike Miller (or James Jones), Udonis Haslem (at some point) and whichever center is getting most of the backup minutes. Chalmers and Haslem have played together, so it would make sense for them to share the floor — again, provided that Haslem makes it back. Chalmers was often trusted to close, even when he wasn't starting, and that could still be the case.
Losing Chalmers for the season would have created problems, for sure.
This short absence creates some opportunities.

CATEGORIES Documentary, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Deals, Mystery & Suspense, Movies, CinematicalIt's funny how some actresses just seem to inspire the worst in critics; or in the case of Kirsten Dunst, she brings out the worst in just about everyone. I only ever seem to come across people who can't stand her. Ever since her kick-a** performance in Interview with The Vampire at the tender age of 12, she has been one of my favorite actresses; and I am even willing to overlook Get Over it. Variety reports that Dunst is in talks to star in All Good Things alongside Ryan Gosling. The period thriller is set in the go-go '80s and centers on a well-to-do young man (Gosling) who falls for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks (Dunst). When she turns up missing, a sleazy detective begins to uncover information that could bring our golden boy to his knees.
The film is the feature debut of documentary filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, who made his name as the director of Capturing the Friedmans -- a film that I can't recommend enough. News of Dunst's negotiations hit the Sundance circuit since she is in town promoting her directorial debut, Welcome. Gosling has already signed on the dotted line for Good Things, but Dunst is still in the middle of negotiations. The actress has already signed to star in Sweet Relief; the story of Marla Ruzicka, a relief worker in Iraq and Afghanistan during U.S. invasions; so, I would guess that if Dunst is planning on starring in Good Things as well, it is all going to come down to scheduling.

In a historic day for gay rights, the Supreme Court gave the nation's legally married gay couples equal federal footing with all other married Americans on Wednesday and also cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California.
In deciding its first cases on the issue, the high court did not issue the sweeping declaration sought by gay rights advocates that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry anywhere in the country. But in two rulings, both by bare 5-4 majorities, the justices gave gay marriage supporters encouragement in confronting the nationwide patchwork of laws that outlaw such unions in roughly three dozen states.
Gay-rights supporters cheered and hugged outside the court. Opponents said they mourned the rulings and vowed to keep up their fight.
In the first of the narrow rulings in its final session of the term, the court wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law, the Defense of Marriage Act, that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits that are otherwise available to married couples.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by the four liberal justices, said the purpose of the law was to impose a disadvantage and "a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the states."
President Barack Obama praised the court's ruling against the federal marriage act, labeling the law "discrimination enshrined in law."
"It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people," Obama said in a statement. "The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he was disappointed in the outcome of the federal marriage case and hoped states continue to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Boehner, as speaker, had stepped in as the main defender of the law before the court after the Obama administration declined to defend it.
The other case, dealing with California's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, was resolved by an unusual lineup of justices in a technical legal fashion that said nothing about gay marriage. But the effect was to leave in place a trial court's declaration that California's Proposition 8 ban was unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on the lower court ruling. That will take least 25 days, the appeals court said.
State amendment looms
Supporters of same-sex marriage may be celebrating Wednesday's rulings as a victory for marriage equality, but key Republican leaders in the Indiana Statehouse see it much differently.
Instead of halting the proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, top GOP legislative leaders say the court has cleared the way for the legislature to move forward on putting the state's current law prohibiting same-sex marriage into the state constitution.
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma said he's "confident" the state's proposed marriage-ban constitutional amendment will be approved by the Indiana General Assembly next year and sent on to voters for their approval, despite potential legal challenges and independent polling that shows most Hoosiers no longer support it.
"I am certainly pleased the Supreme Court has confirmed each state's right to address the legal issue of what constitutes one of the most important institutions in our society," Bosma said in a statement released Wednesday, after the court's rulings on two major marriage-equality cases.
Indiana Senate President David Long echoed Bosma, saying while the court struck down key provisions in the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) as unconstitutional, it left intact, with a second ruling on a California case, the right of states to determine how to define marriage.
Long said: "I fully anticipate that both the (Indiana) Senate and House will be voting on a marriage amendment next session."
As for local legislators, State Sens. Sue Glick, R-LaGrange, and Carlin Yoder, R-Middlebury, both declined to comment personally, and instead deferred to Long's statement.
State Representative Wes Culver (R-Goshen) issued a statement Wednesday echoing Long's statement.
"Although I am disappointed in the Supreme Court's overturn of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, I am pleased that the court affirmed each state's right to address this issue," Culver said. "Even though I have my own beliefs that marriage should be between one man and one woman, I believe this is an issue that Hoosiers themselves need to voice their opinion on. I would like to see this issue progress through the General Assembly and the matter placed on a referenda ballot for Hoosiers to decide."
A day for celebration
The emotions are still raw for Michelle Marquis. It can be heard in her voice when she recounts the 2009 effort of a group she helped lead in unsuccessfully adding sexual orientation and gender identity to Goshen's civil rights ordinance.
"It was quite an event, said Marquis. "I'll leave it at that."
But Wednesday brought forth a much different set of emotions.
"There were tears immediately," said Marquis when she saw the news stream in through social media. "It's a day I never thought I'd see."
The celebration, Marquis admitted, will quickly be subdued as work begins to defeat an all but certain push by Indiana's GOP leaders to get a gay marriage ban amendment in the state's constitution.
"Today is a day to contemplate all the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into it," said Marquis. "But going forward. More discussions will need to be had with neighbors, friends and loved ones."
The biggest takeaway for Marquis, who said she became vocal in 2009 because "equality just makes sense", is what this may mean to gay people who feel like outcasts.
"I hope the message of today reaches that person sitting alone in their room by themselves feeling hopeless and alone. The most important message from today is love. And I hope that loves reaches those people."
A day for reflection
More than 50 people attended an ecumenical Christian service Wednesday evening at the Assembly Mennonite Church in Goshen to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court decision concerning the constitutionality of gay marriage.
"We see God's spirit at work in the movement against discrimination, breaking down the walls that divide us, and that is worthy of celebration," said co-pastor Karl Shelly. "The Apostle Paul says the work of Christ is to break down the walls that divide us and we are celebrating the decision to break down the walls that divide equality in marriage. God is doing a new thing."
Kevin DeBeck of Elkhart looked around the filled room, and smiled.
"It's fantastic. I'm very happy where we live to have this turnout to celebrate what happened today," DeBeck said. "In my mind, it's (the ruling) allowing people to marry who they love and in the end that makes everybody more free. You should be allowed to marry who you love, regardless of the gender. They removed some of the barriers and hope it's like a domino effect."
Pastor Jennifer Gingerich said she's very grateful for the rulings.
"I feel a lot of hope for progress towards equality for all people. I look out and see the amount of people. It will mean healing and opportunity for them," Gingerich said. "I am filled with joy and gratitude."
Goshen News reporters Maureen Hayden, Sherry Van Arsdall and Daniel Riordan contributed to this story.

Food for Thought
Heather Atwood
---- — We call her "the biscotti lady," because Rosanne LeBlanc makes soft, luxurious biscotti draped in chocolate, crowned in fresh nuts. She also makes homemade turtles, little candy drifts of chocolate, caramel and nuts. She does all this baking in a beautiful home in West Gloucester, the centerpiece of which is an enormous brick chimney harboring an old cast iron cookstove and a pizza oven. Rosanne loves to cook; her kitchen says it all.
Still, I am changing her tag to "the strawberry rhubarb pie lady." LeBlanc recently served me a slice of this springtime classic, a delicious end to a Memorial Day cookout or picnic, which was the perfect balance of sweet to tart. A streusel topping beneath the lattice top gave a nutty crunch, complement to the unavoidable slippery feel of cooked rhubarb. There was no bottom crust to get soggy; simply this wonderful crisp topping of pecans, crumb, and pastry.
Rhubarb pie is so popular that in some parts of the country the herbaceous perennial is called "pieplant." Most people know that the leaves, containing high levels of oxalic acid, are toxic, but the edible stems harbor calcium oxalate, which interferes with calcium absorption. I would consider someone a lucky person if they were having strawberry rhubarb pie every night, but in reality they shouldn't for the sake of their skeleton. Or perhaps this is a good excuse to double the amount of ice cream on top.
Rosanne's biscotti and turtles can be purchased on her website, rosannesbiscotti.com, or at The Cave on Main Street in Gloucester.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
The Beaupré Coast just outside Quebec City is staggeringly beautiful with rocky cliffs and dramatic waterfalls, and you'll see the best of it before visiting a signature local winery.
Departing from the pier by coach, you'll leave Quebec City and follow the beautiful Beaupré Coast, which runs along the St. Lawrence River. Nestled here in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains, it's one breathtaking sight after another, including pastoral farmland, wildlife reserves, Montmorency Falls, and the idyllic Island of Orleans. Still, the highlight remains St-Anne Canyon, a steep gorge carved out of a 900-million-year-old rock formation by the relentless force of water.
You'll approach the canyon by transferring to an open tram, and riding it to the roaring St-Anne-du-Nord River, which becomes a cascading, 243-feet waterfall in the canyon. Walk along the suspension bridges above the water, if you're feeling adventurous. Gazing upon this naturally formed canyon, the river thundering down its rocky cliffs is just as inspirational today as it was to American naturalist and author Henry David Thoreau, who visited in the mid-1800s. A specially designed vehicle can provide access for those who are mobility challenged to one of the walkways. The entire path is approximately 1-mile for those who wish to walk it; however, you may also choose to only walk a portion of it. Before leaving, there will be a bit of free time to browse the gift shop.
Next, it's on to an esteemed Canadian vineyard, where you'll learn about local wine making and sample some of the finest vintages. Because of the harsh winters, Quebec vineyards have rather short growing seasons, but the wines are surprisingly tasty and numerous, and several well-respected varietals are produced here.
After touring the vineyard, you will drive back to the pier, traveling via the bottom of Montmorency Falls where you will have some great views.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of moderate walking/standing, plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during the stops. There are various gradients and surfaces to negotiate. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Scooters under 60 lbs. are permitted. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Rain resistant layered clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested.

Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time.

Frankfurt School and Critical Theory
The " Frankfurt School " refers to a group of german-american theorists who developed powerful analyses of the changes in western capitalist societies that have occurred since the classical theory of Marx . Notably , the theorists loosely affiliated with the Frankfurt School shifted Marxism away from economic determinism towards a primary concern with the superstructure and with questions of culture and subjectivity . This radical shift in emphasis came about after failed revolutions in the early decades of the twentieth century, the subsequent disillusionment with classical Marxism , and the rise of advanced cultural institutions and media communications-all of which seemed to prevent mass movements from rebelling against capitalism .
Working at the Institute fur Sozialforschung in Frankfurt , Germany in the late 1920s and early 1930s , theorists such as Max Horkheimer( 1894- 1972) , T.W.Adorno(1903-1969) , Herbert Marcuse ( 1898-1979) , Leo Lowenthal ( 1900- 1993) , and Erich Fromm ( 1900- 1980) , produced some of the first accounts within critical social theory of the importance of mass culture and communication in social reproduction and domination . The Frankfurt School also generated one of the first models of a critical cultural studies that analyzes the processes of cultural production and political economy , the politics of cultural texts , and audience reception and use of cultural artifacts . Moving from Nazi Germany to the United States , the Frankfurt School experienced at first hand the rise of a media culture involving film , popular music , radio , television , and other forms of mass culture . In the United States , where they found themselves in exile , media production was by and large a form of commercial entertainment controlled by big corporations . Two of the Frankfurt School's key theorists Max Horkheimer and T.W.Adorno , developed an account of the ' culture industry ' to call attention to the industrialization and commercialization of culture under capitalist relations of production .As we shall see their critical cultural studies model drew on Max Weber's theory of rationalization , Marxist categories such as alienation and ideology , and finally Freudian notions of repression , projection , and displacement .
At the end of this short article I want to refer to one of the most important realities in the 20th century which occurred during the 1930s , the Frankfurt School at that time developed a critical and transdisciplinary approch to cultural and communications studies , combining political economy ( one of the important Marx's heritages ) , textual analysis , and analysis of social and ideological effects of socio-cultural institutions and forms .
About Frankfurt School and its achievments on different subjects , specially Critical Theory which was their great and most important contribution to theoretical activities in 20th century , there were a great library : written, authored, translated … from the monographs for example Theodor W. Adorno : His Life and Thoughts , or about Max Horkheimer , Herbert Marcuse , Erich Fromm , their writings , books , in Farsi there is no books on Adorno , no translations from his books ,no writting about his life , But many years ago one the books of H.Marcuse was translated : one dimentional man ; in general in Farsi we have no any important or referential books , but for the sake of my later articles or even blogs inevitably I write some introductory short articles on Critical Theory.

Truth be told, luck played a huge role in the Rockies being able to execute the plan.
The Rockies had brought in Nelson, 18, for a workout Friday, but had given up hope by Monday. Every indication was the Baltimore Orioles, picking just ahead of Colorado, would draft Nelson. In fact, it came from the Birds' mouths.
"This morning, we thought he wasn't going to get to us. They told us an hour before the draft they were taking Nelson," Rockies scouting director Bill Schmidt said. "When they called out the ID number, I went, 'Whoa.' Their Georgia scout called out the pick, and it was a different ID number."
Baltimore drafted Rice pitcher Wade Townsend, who was projected by Baseball America to wind up with Colorado.
Having built up pitching in previous drafts, the Rockies have added a few power hitters and were looking to increase overall athletic ability.
"Nelson's got the potential to hit," Schmidt said. "He's an above-average to solid above-average runner, and the athleticism was something we needed. In my opinion, he was the best high school hitter in the draft."
The Rockies expect to quickly sign Nelson, who has signed a scholarship with Georgia but made no secret of his desire to turn pro, and send him to Rookie-level Casper.
Nelson liked the way the draft went.
"I love the Rockies, there's nothing wrong with the Rockies and nothing wrong with the Orioles," he said. "I just want to play ball anyway."
After Nelson, Colorado's top picks were:
"We tried to go after the best player, and it kind of unfolded for us that we ended up with the best athletes," Schmidt said. "I had a gut feel with Seth Smith and Macri -- they're both athletes and we'll see how that plays out. Register is an athletic pitcher. It kind of just worked out that way."
Colorado picked in 18 rounds Monday, and did get around to pitchers. Starting with Oregon State left-hander Jake Postlewait in the seventh round, Colorado grabbed pitchers with seven out of 11 picks.
The draft continues through the 50th and final round Tuesday.

Remember Me
Public Group
I had their first album a long time ago, and it was great. One of the best metal albums I ever heard. But I don't know what happened to them, and it is very hard to find anything about them on the internet.
Yes, they are in my top 10 bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.
Great underrated metal band!
'Wild Cat' (1981) is my favorite album; "Don't Touch Me There" my favorite song.
I have a few of their albums and so far as I know they are still together but don't have much in the way of American releases. If you want to get anything recent from them you'll have to go through someone like Amazon.com who generally is good with carrying foreign releases.
They put out an album in 2008 called Animal Instinct.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. – MAY 3, 2013 – St. Joseph's College (SJC) is pleased to announce that it will offer a series of continuing education workshops in Human Services and Health Administration during the month of June on its Long Island Campus, located at 155 West Roe Blvd in Patchogue.
"Not only is the information shared in these courses timely, but the faculty and guest lecturers actually practice the skills daily in their own professions," said Carolyn Gallogly, Ph.D., associate professor of professional and graduate studies at SJC. "It is a great opportunity for St. Joseph's to share this expertise with community organizations on Long Island."
To register, click here. The workshop schedule is as follows:
Workshop #1: How to Develop Fundraising for an Organization
June 8 and 15, 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
A key component in maintaining a not-for-profit agency is choosing and developing funding sources, funding approaches and creating a fundraising plan.

Light complimentary lunch will be served.
Workshop #2: Grant Proposal Writing
June 5, 6, 12 and 13, 6 – 9:45 p.m.
Learn how to plan and research your grant writing options and then organize, write and package your proposal. Three experts in grant writing will present this workshop including a not-for-profit grant proposal writer, a professional grant writer and a health care professional.
