Driver: Bicyclists attacked my truck in Woodside

Maybe he shouldn't have tried to run them off the road?

Whatever the driver may have done there is no place for vigilante behavior by the bicyclists. Hopefully the individuals who engaged in this behavior will be identified and charged appropriately.
on Jan 31, 2013 at 6:56 pm
Here is the other side of the story. It sounds as if the driver should be arrested first.
From discussion on the Alto Velo discussion list, the many witnesses report a silver or gray Dodge Ram full size diesel pickup truck, [Portion removed] who was running cyclists off of the road, brake checking riders he passed, and intentionally spewing diesel soot as he passed riders, then running stop signs to get away from them.
After passing one group of cyclists, he apparently got out of his truck to try to start something, but he looked at the odds of 50 vs 1, got back in his truck and sped off.
Woodside is thick with recreational road cyclists, especially on beautiful weekend days such as last Saturday. Conflicts with motorists who dislike the traffic congestion caused by anything other than more cars and trucks is frequent.
In that large of a group, surely somebody had video running of one of these encounters?

In his new memoir, record executive Clive Davis, has revealed that he's bisexual.
Davis, who has 4 children from 2 previous marriages, told Katie Couric that he's currently in a monogamous relationship with a man, and hopes that by coming out, it'll lead to a greater understanding of bisexuality. In "The Soundtrack of My Life" available on Tuesday, Davis also shares how he went from Brooklyn to big time.

She was spotted on Valentine's Day with a mystery man named David. So far that's one of the few details we know about him. He's 27, works at a law firm, and plays golf. In fact the two were spotted at a country club near her home over the weekend where he was giving her golf lessons.

Article By: Harvey Finkel
A considerable proportion of the world's high-quality, traditional Champagne-method bubblies are made in Spain, where, if they conform to geographical, viticultural and vinification regulations, they are called Cava, a term derived from "cave". Cava is generally well priced, and encompasses a wide range of quality. The US imports close to 2O million bottles per year. Codorníu, a Cava pioneer from the start, is one of the leading producers. I was pleased to renew my acquaintance with Codorníu Cavas recently during a visit with Melanie Pyne, Brand Director, Sergio Sabater, Brand Ambassador, and eight distinctive wines.
The Codorníu story can be told with the aid of a few numbers.
1551 The family company can be documented as producing wine in that year, headed by Jaume Codorníu. It is the oldest family business in Spain, the twentieth oldest in the world.
1659 Jaume's descendent, Anna de Codorníu, married Miquel Raventós in 1659, thus joining two important wine-producing families. While Codorníu remained the firm's name, the proprietors since have all been named Raventós. Shares in the company are now held by 45O family members.
1872 Combining grape varieties from the Penedès district of Catalunya (xarel-lo, macabeo and parellada) with the production methods of Champagne, and facing devastation of the prevalent red grapes by Phylloxera, Josep Raventós refocused Codorníu onto sparkling wine, producing in 1872 Spain's first Cava, as it later came to be called.
1895 Josep's son, Manuel, envisioning the company's future, in 1895 took it a step further, almost exclusively into Cava production.
1897 Codorníu was named Supplier to the Royal Household by Queen Regent María Cristina in that year.
1914 With prescience, Codorníu purchased, in 1914, 35OO hectares of undeveloped land near Lleida for new plantings. This area would later become the source of premium chardonnay and pinot noir.
1915-1976 The architecturally and vinously notable new winery, designed by Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, a Gaudi disciple, was completed in 1915 in San Sadurní de Noya (Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in Catalan) in Penedès, about 32 kilometers west of Barcelona. It was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1976.
197O Under pressure from the EU, the genre's name was changed in 197O from the imitative Champaña to Cava.
1972 The official Denominación de Origen (DO) for Cava was established in 1972. It is unusual in recognizing approved growing areas in more than one region, although 95 percent of Cava is produced in Catalunya.
1975 The Masía Bach estate in Penedès, which dated back to the early 19th century, was acquired by Grupo Codorníu in 1975.
24O,OOO,OOO More than 1OOO wineries produced 24O million bottles of Cava in 2O11, much of them exported. (Champagne's
total production is about 323 million bottles.)
6OOO Codorníu is secretive about its own production figures. It is clearly one of the two giants, along with Freixenet. It farms more than 6OOO hectares of vines, and continues to be an innovative force in viticulture and wine production. The three traditional native grape varieties grow in the Mediterranean climate of Penedès. Much of Codorníu's pinot noir is grown farther west in the poor slate soil and more continental climate of Conca de Barberà. Finally, still farther inland, near Lleida, most of Codorníu's chardonnay and some pinot noir are grown in Costers del Segre, known for its wide day/night temperature variation. The company's other holdings have expanded to include eight countries on four continents. The wines are very good values.
Codorníu's head of enology since early 2OO8 has been Bruno Colomer Marti, now 48-years-old. A Catalan, he trained in Barcelona and Burgundy, and worked at two smaller Cava producers before coming to Codorníu.
Macabeo, Xarelo-lo and Parellada, 28 percent each, Chardonnay 16 percent; all grown at the former Masía Bach property in Penedès. Appetizing nose, with hints of apple and almond. Pleasant texture, balance and finish. Very attractive. $1O
From the three native grape varieties, with 1O percent reserve wine. More base notes. Good fruit and body. Dry and long. $1O
ANNA de CODORNÍU BRUT
Honors a progenitor. A favorite in Spain. Chardonnay 7O percent, Parellada 3O, from particular vineyards. Toasty nose. Austere. Nicely balanced. Long finish. $15
ANNA de CODORNÍU BRUT ROSÉ
Pinot Noir 7O percent, Chardonnay 3O. The former is given 3 to 4 hours of skin contact. Berry fruit apparent. Long finish, with slightly bitter fillip to add interest. $15
This and the next wine are newly introduced. All Chardonnay, from older vines. Partially barrel fermented and aged. Nice touch of oak. Elegant. Smooth and creamy, long and suave. Very dry. Fine mousse. $2O
Older-vine Pinot Noir. Elegant and delicate strawberry-themed nose and mouth. Balanced, integrated, very long. Fine mousse. $2O
REINA MA CRISTINA BLANC de NOIRS BRUT RESERVA VINTAGE 2OO8
Honors the queen who royally honored Codorníu. Made in small quantity from single-vineyard Pinot Noir. Fine mousse. Intense, complex, concentrated fruit.
Very long finish. $33
Named for the founder of the house. Strictly selected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, half each; only from worthy vintages. Smooth, elegant, delicate, sophisticated. Incredibly long finish. $7O

View our education section to learn more about our jewelry.
I purchased this as a gift for my mom and she said that she was very pleased withy the gift, proudly wearing her two grand children's pictures around her neck! The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that she said the plastic piece meant to cover the pictures was difficult and she actually lost one of the pieces while putting the pictures in the locket.
Mary, Denver, CO – July 2013
Purchased for a high school graduating senior. She has worn it every day since receiving. Engraving is smaller than I had hoped. Great quality.
Anonymous, Cincinnati, OH – June 2013
This is my 2nd time buying this locket. I wore the other so much that I wanted another! I put my 1st one on my Pandora bracelet as a charm and wear this one again around my neck! I wanted a round locket versus oval or heart-shaped and Blue Nile allowed me the unique style but great quality of this treasure!

USA Today Profiles "Harry Potter" Trio's Transition into AdulthoodTrio Interviews
December 01, 2010, 11:04 PM
USA Today has a new article about the Harry Potter trio and their future plans now that they are transitioning into adulthood.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), Rupert Grint (Ron), and Emma Watson (Hermione) filmed their final scene together over the summer. Grint commented on how anticlimactic it felt filming the final scene of the franchise.
"It's been such a long time," Grint says. "And it was such a random little scene. I was soaking wet. The three of us jump through a fireplace on a crash land, and that was it. It felt like it should be ending on something a bit more meaningful, but that's how it was."Radcliffe talks about his next two projects: a film, the Woman in Black, which he's currently shooting, and the Broadway musical How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying). The play will open in February.
"I'm the first person to play the role this young," he says. Previously, Finch has been played by Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick. "I think it adds a dimension when someone who's playing it is actually as young as the character," says Radcliffe, who has put in hours of singing and dance training. (In his spare time, Radcliffe is a music aficionado and plays the bass.)
The actor relishes playing someone as "manipulative and conniving and almost Falstaffian" as the ambitious Finch, a character who is light-years away from the idealistic and heroic Harry Potter.
"Everything Finch does is morally reprehensible," he says. "But you kind of back him. How to Succeed in Business is about somebody who never lets his morals get in the way of his ambition."Watson will continue her studies at Brown University in Rhode Island, but she is also eager to dabble in different activities, including theatre.
"I haven't been a stage actress. It really is a different ballgame. People kind of expect that I should be incredibly confident, but no, this is not what I'm trained in.
"If I'm in front of a camera, I'm very comfortable, but to be on a stage, you can't do a second take. You can't go back. It's frightening, but still, I like the adrenaline of knowing you get one shot. And the energy you get from a good audience, if they're really into it, is like nothing else."Meanwhile, Grint is taking things slowly, "reading scripts and happily working on his golf."
"I'm just being a bit patient and waiting for the right thing," he says. "I'm not in a real rush. This last shoot was more than a year and a half and I'm pretty exhausted, really. Now that I'm finished, there's a real sense of freedom."

If you wanted to forge the quintessential wood bat you'd tap Babe Ruth. So when Frabill decided they wanted to manufacturer the definitive rod and reel combo, the list of consultants was short. Just one, actually – the name in ice fishing - Brian "Bro" Brosdahl. After months of concepting, ideating, prototyping and testing, the Bro Series was born.
Bro Series Rod The way a bluegill bites, fights and how bitty baits are presented were all weighed while developing the Bro Series 24-inch Ultra Light. The same thinking held true for seducing and succumbing crappies, perch, walleyes and northern pike – each rod being species and technique specific. From the length to the action to the handle design, all things were considered. Consider yourself wise for choosing one.
Bro Series Reel Done with repurposed, micro openwater reels for ice fishing? We are. The ice-fishing-specific Bro Series Reel features a tapered front drag to reduce line catch; oversized handle for glovewearers; deep and shallow spool arbors to accommodate multiple line diameters; and the miraculous Sub-Zero® lube. Standard premium reel highlights include a 5 plus 1-ball bearing system; infinite anti-reverse; L/R switchable handle; and a drag that's smoother than silk stockings.

I am new to Nokia maps api. I am trying to use markerCluster functionality for my mapping solution. I need to use custom marker icons both for cluster markers and individual markers. I need to be able to show labels and circles around the markers when individual markers come to display and hide them when they get into a cluster. I have an array of markers as opposed to datapoints, an array of labels, and an array of circles objects to be passed to cluster object. I have done this using google maps api and now I need to do it using Nokia maps api. I thought I'd better use the alternative to google maps clustering javascript file (markerclusterer.js) rather than the clusterprovider just to have the option to customize icons. I managed to show custom icons and labels to individual markers but not cluster markers. Also the Zoomchange event wasn't working so I called the attach function at the end, but this now has caused an error to appear that reads: localhost is not responding, script is too long!
Can anyone put me into right direction please.
Should I be using markerclusterer.js or clusterprovider? All I require is to customize my icons both cluster and individuals as well as show/hide some other objects (labels/circles) on individual markers.
Any help is much appreciated

The gains Americans made in their income over the past ten years have been essentially wiped out by the rise in healthcare costs.
According to a study from the Rand Corporation, average American families experienced a thirty percent increase in income from 1999 to 2009 but monthly health insurance premiums went up one hundred twenty-eight percent.
Out-of-pocket spending for copays, deductibles and medications went up seventy-eight percent.
This study was led by researchers at the RAND Corporation and published in the journal Health Affairs.

In Their Own Words
Jul 21, 2009
"This view that women are somehow inferior to men is not restricted to one religion or belief. It is widespread… This discrimination, unjustifiably attributed to a Higher Authority, has provided a reason or excuse for the deprivation of women's equal rights across the world for centuries… At their most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities. The impact of these religious beliefs touches every aspect of our lives…. It is not women and girls alone who suffer. It damages all of us. The evidence shows that investing in women and girls delivers major benefits for everyone in society. An educated woman has healthier children. She is more likely to send them to school. She earns more and invests what she earns in her family. It is simply self-defeating for any community to discriminate against half its population."
--Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, "The Words of God Do Not Justify Cruelty to Women," The London (U.K.) Guardian, July 12, 2009
"Afghanistan is a country where women have made significant progress – but only compared with a comprehensively oppressive past… Afghanistan is also a nation where girls have had acid thrown in their faces while walking to school and female police officers and public officials have been targeted for assassination. Taliban and foreign extremists seem to take a particular interest…in the intimidation, repression and humiliation of women… Afghanistan remains one of the most difficult places on Earth to be a woman. A reaction of anger and militancy would be understandable. But the Afghan women I met take a different approach… Rather than asserting an individualistic conception of rights, these women are arguing for respect and legal protection from within their religious tradition… [and] offer a practical rebuttal. They point out that the reconstruction of Afghanistan will not take place without the knowledge and skills of 52 percent of its population… Why should America, in the midst of a costly war, care about the rights of Afghan women? Because Afghanistan, without the participation of women, will remain a failed and dangerous state."
--Michael Gerson, "An Afghan Feminism," Washington Post, July 10, 2009

CHILL. The momentum is now swinging to Obama. McCain got a cheerleader for the Repub party with Palin, but even my die hard dad couldn't believe she was the pick. Buyer's remorse is setting in. Think about, would you have voted for your head cheerleader of high school to be class VP, let alone class pres? That is what the Republicans with brains are now coming to terms with.
Thank God McCain picked her early Sept and not 3rd week of Oct. We would have been toast. Now we can let the bad judgment on his part finish him off. And, it was BAD JUDGMENT.

Nick Diaz might have talked about retirement after his UFC 158 main event loss to Georges St. Pierre tonight, but not so fast. According to the former Strikeforce champ, who attended the post-fight press conference even after Dana White said he wasn't going to show, he thinks he can beat the champ and wants a rematch:
"The only reason I'm here right now is because I want a rematch. (To GSP) I think I can beat you. I think I may be a better matchup for Anderson Silva as well."
GSP just nodded his head at both suggestions and didn't really betray and emotions in the face of the requests, but it's pretty obvious that neither of those things are going to happen. UFC president Dana White made it clear that GSP will be meeting Johny Hendricks next, though he wouldn't speculate on where or when that might happen. Diaz later suggested that the UFC might match him up with Carlos Condit again, and he said he'd have to figure out whether that was worth it for him or not.
In typical Diaz fashion, he continued to talk of retirement but did his best to plant the seeds for a bunch of potential bouts as well, talking about every welterweight on the panel for the press conference. I will follow this post up with a complete transcript of Nick's comments at the press conference but suffice to say, he stole the show once again.

It looks like something out a horror movie at a Locust Grove home as Kudzu bugs seem to be overrunning a family.Linda Smith first spotted the bugs earlier in the week and seemed to multiple overnight from hundreds to thousands and eventually turned into millions.The family tells FOX 5 News that it looks like it was snowing bugs with swarms of the little black insects blanketing the house and trees. After gallons of insecticide to try to rid themselves of the bugs, they continue to thrive.They say they traced the problem to a soybean field on a neighboring land. They are trying to make contact with the owner of the field in hopes they can work together to get rid of the invaders.

Rails session across jquery ajax call
Hey Guys,
Kind of a strange problem, hopefully someone can help me out.
I want to set a session in my rails controller which I hit via jquery ajax get.
$.get('/leads/check', function(data) {console.log(data);});
which hits the controller action
def check
session[:tester] = "test"
The session doesnt seem to be set across the ajax call and the js console gave back
"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)"
Checking the rails logs also verifys that the controller check action is hit..
Anyone have an ideas on this?

Sessions rely on an identifier (session id) being transmitted in cookies with each http request. By default, xhr won't transmit the browsers cookies. You need to pass the session id manually.
What are you using session for in this case? There's probably a better solution (Like passing the shared data in some inline javascript).

Reviews for Chilled Melon Soup
Sort By :
I have not made it yet, but when summer really hits here in Colo. Spgs. I will. I cannot understand the reviews saying that it sounded like the recipe called for chilies. There is a difference between chilies and chilled. I hope people will read the recipe once again. BD
Goodness gracious, vieux. The recipe title is CHILLED Melon Soup, because it is CHILLED before serving, not because it has chilies in it.
I would make this again with severe modifications. Your title suggests the use of chilies. Shouldn't you use the bloody things? No one will detect 1/8 tsp. This is a decent recipe but to use a descriptor such as kick of cayenne? 1/8 tsp? Your friends are tasting a boring cantaloupe and orange juice with ...... nothing. Pump up the cayenne or chili of choice to at least 1/2 tsp or better, add some sea salt and play. sorry but as it is... boring
Chilled melon soup is a good, easy meal to make and one my family makes when we want a simple soup to eat. It's delicious and definitely going in my recipe box.

Travel with me back in time to those good old days when it was so very cool and correct to declare: "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
Remember that? It was a mantra, a slogan, a moral crusade for all conscientious liberals when George W. Bush was president.
If you do remember, you probably also recall the exact day it stopped being cool and correct: Jan. 21, 2009, when Bush became a former president and President Barack Obama was inaugurated. Dissent suddenly became tantamount to sedition.
Yeah, Obama promised the "fundamental transformation" of America. History will judge more objectively than any current analysis whether his encouragement of a vast expansion of dependency on government entitlements; a sluggish economy; an uncertain, weak foreign policy; and blatant disrespect for laws he found inconvenient were all the fault of "the rich" or a Republican "war on women."
But we don't need to wait for history to judge the suppression of dissent, by mockery and the weight of government itself, to be very, very bad for the country.
Obama's acolytes had it right back in 2000-2008: Dissent is patriotic. They were rarely patriotic in their attitude; their hatred of Bush was so intense that it degenerated into mindless slogans and personal attacks. "Bush Derangement Syndrome" was not an exaggeration for millions of lefties.
But they are (were) correct that dissent from the agenda of those in power is one of the healthy characteristics of a free society.
If Bush called a press conference to declare that "the debate is over" regarding some unpopular program of his, there would have been a meltdown on the Left from sea to shining sea. This, they would have said, is proof from the president's own mouth that he is a fascist.
Yet, that is this president's direction, and his disgraceful example is spreading.
A few weeks ago, Obama took to his teleprompter to declare the "debate" on Obamacare, his signature legislation, is over since 8 million people have reportedly signed up for it.
Yes, one recent poll found that a majority of Americans want to keep the law in place, but that same poll found only 12 percent consider it a success. Since when does a president get to say that a minority of Americans have to shut up?
Ask the administration for details on those 8 million people, and suddenly, not only is the debate over, but so is any transparency. (Remember, this was going to be the "most transparent administration in history.")
The administration won't say how many of those people have started making their payments. It won't say how many previously had insurance but lost it since their plan didn't conform to new Obamacare rules. In other words, they won't say how many truly "uninsured" now have insurance.
Do Obama or any of his supporters define success by 8 million people allegedly complying with an order of the federal government when they will be punished if they fail to obey it?
Yet the president tells us the debate is over. He must really dislike democracy.
The same attitude is at play regarding global warming, which has been renamed climate change and more recently "climate disruption." One obvious way to tell that those on one side of an argument are losing is that they keep changing the euphemisms to cloak what they really mean.
The president and his loyal cohorts insist "the science is settled." One acolyte said continuing to debate the issue would be like taking an opinion poll on whether 15 is more than 5. Cute. But, as any credible scientist knows, science is never settled.
This president mocks as "deniers" those who question his thinking. What was that about being president of "all the people"? Never mind.
This attitude, not surprisingly, infects all of society. Anyone who publicly questions the gay agenda or gay marriage does not get a reasoned response from the other side, but demands that he or she be silenced.
Twin brothers David and Jason Benham, scheduled to launch an HGTV show on renovating and flipping houses, saw the show canceled because they disagree with gay marriage. Apparently, you can't be allowed to show people how to renovate houses if you hold politically incorrect views on marriage.
Good thing Obama "evolved" on the issue since his public position on gay marriage was the same allegedly hateful one as the Benhams' until two years ago.
Meanwhile, students at major colleges and universities are doing exactly as they have been taught by their president and allegedly liberal-minded professors. They have successfully banned commencement speakers whose views they don't like.
The list includes not only conservatives like former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (her crime was being part of the Bush administration), but also Somali-born feminist Ayaan Hirsi, who has sought to inform the world of the way radical Islamists mistreat women. Challenging radical Islam somehow violates the "core values" of Brandeis University.
In short, they don't want to debate people they oppose, which is what a free society should be all about. They want to silence them.
That is neither progressive nor liberal. That is totalitarian.

Muve Headliner Artist Linkin Park is giving Muve Music a very special exclusive with the June 26 release of their new summer 2012 album titled LIVING THINGS. For a full month, Muve Music customers will have the exclusive remix of the first single from their new album BURN IT DOWN by Tom Swoon.
Linkin Park's LIVING THINGS is a personal album, centered on human emotions and relationships. It is informed by and built upon all previous Linkin Park albums while pushing the band's sound into new territory. It's spirited, energetic, daring and unafraid to hybridize the past, present and future.
From day one, Linkin Park built the band upon the premise of fusing all their favorite styles of music into one signature sound. Fast-forward 12 years to LIVING THINGS, and the same six players, Chester Bennington, Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell, Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda, have not only developed new tools to make that philosophy a reality, but they're finally comfortable embracing every aspect of their career. Check out Linkin Park for more information about the band and summer tour dates.

Nham was checked out by paramedics and returned to her family.
Police offered thanks for everyone who helped locate Nga Tuy Nham.

4.3/5 rDev +6.2%
If you are looking for craft beers that you really can't find in too many places throughout Ventura County, this is the place to go. With Green Flash, Kern River, Tap It, Stone, Bear Republic, Telegraph, Surf, and other on tap, it's the best place to go to get craft beers. Food is great, good selections, great specials and promotions through the week. Service could be a little better and more attentive. Quality is good and shows in a lot of their homemade stuff they have on the menu. I go to this place regularly to see what they might have on tap or a surprise, but definitely go for what they regularly have which is great.

The food is fairly priced and tasty.
The bar area is quite roomy, but the outdoor area is quite small.
As a big beer geek I had high expectations with this place, but was a little let down. Most of the beer on tap here you may buy at any major grocery store. Their "guest" beers may sound good but I know many places where its available year-round.
No doubt about it, JJs is the place to go for the best selections of beer in the city of Camarillo. But most of the population here are casual drinkers and will find this place as an oasis.

I've been here on several occasions for lunch because it happens to be right down the street from my office. Nice looking run of the mill type restaurant, with a large impressive bar area.
I have mixed feelings about the beers here, on one hand they do have the best selection of beers on tap in Ventura County, on the other, it's so under utilized in terms of taps and selections. For instance, they have a hand-pump, and i have never once been when they had a cask on; they have 2 sets of taps, totaling maybe 30 taps, however they'll have 2 handles of their 5 most popular beers rather than giving greater variety; Except for the Sierra Nevada draft only beers and the Firestone Seasonals (which are cool to have) the taps don't seem to change much. It just seems like, having craft beer is their gimmick rather than it being the passion and driving force of this place.
The food is decent, kind of like good restaurant chain type food. The service has been hit and miss for me.
Overall I like the place pretty well and will be back for lunch in the future.

First off, the beer selection here was solid. I was pleasantly surprised by my visit after hitting a nearby outlet center. I had Bigfoot in January that I presume was 09 and Velvet Mirken that they would give a 22 oz pour! GF had Telegraph California Ale and switched to VM after tasting mine. Saw Greenflash, Stone and Sierra Nevada well represented, as well.
Atmosphere was typical large room with a long bar. Very clean place, so much so that I think that it deserves mention. But where this place fell short had to do with execution. It was a slow Sunday night with less than 10 customers, including ourselves. Bartender came by quickly and we asked for water while we thought about what to drink. There was no offer of a beer list and I didn't see any sort of board listing of the beers, so it required that I walk the full length of the bar to look at two different sets of taps (not being lazy, just saying that a list or board is something to consider...or make sure the bartenders offer them if you actually do have them). Sat back down with GF and we waited close to 15 minutes for a return visit to take our beer order (again, there are less than 10 people in this bar). When it came time for my GF's second beer, the regular bartender had been replaced by a guy behind the bar. He (as was the case with the bartender) spent his whole time chatting with a small group of friends at the far end of the bar. Maybe he wasn't even a proper bartender, but we had made eye contact, gave a wave and had an empty glass pushed forward on the bar. Even if he wasn't a bartender, would it be too hard to just explain what is going on because the regular bartender had obviously been missing for about 15 minutes. To her credit, I later saw that she was running food from the kitchen, but what was with the guy just looking at us and not saying a word and then just continued to joke with the guys at the other end of the bar?
Food: GF and I ordered two different burgers. Mine medium with regular fries, hers medium-well with curly fries. The plates came out with the wrong fries on each. Not a big problem, we just switched the burgers. My burger was cooked fine, but GF's was much rarer than mine and she was the one who asked for it cooked medium well. For people who are a little skittish about pink meat, that was a bummer for her to have a burger still mooing, but she was a trooper and ate half because we were too close to closing for her to have another option and mine wouldn't have been that different for her.
For beers, I would say that Camarillo is lucky to have an option like JJ Brewskys, but the service and the kitchen just need some tweaking. Loads of potential here and obviously a lot of thought is going into the beer and the menu. Also, what is up with this place closing at 9:00 on a Sunday?! They have one of the largest shopping centers in CA just a mile down the same road and that place closes at 8:00. I think that Brewskys is missing a huge opportunity. How many guys have no problem going with their wives and GFs to the Carlsbad outlet center because they strike a deal that there will be a visit to Pizza Port afterwards? This place is far closer to their local shops and could easily be that end destination for guys similarly being dragged to shop in Camarillo.

Wow, was it ever bizarre being in Ventura County again! Five years from 1992 to 1997 and none of it existed back then. Bob the Ref, Scotty Bro, Moe, Larry - all names from the past.
In the present, they were just a short walk up Ventura Boulevard from the Amtrak/Metrolink station (what, you WANT to drive US 101?) with a fenced-in patio area and a left facing doorway next to the patio. Entering, the m.d.s. was to the immediate left with a chalkboard detailing available drafts in the right overhead. Several high tables and chairs sat below said (color) chalkboard, between the double-door entry onto the patio and the bar. The bar was 3/8 of an octagon, topped with dark green marble flecked with mica.
The bar was a beautiful carved wood affair with three flat screens center, 1 right and 1 left for a total of 5. I think that I addressed the question of monitors before, but for the uninitiated - muted or Closed Captioned is fine, blaring to the point that I cannot think/talk/interact is NOT on! Here - muted. Perfect.
Continuing aft, right, past the bar were the kitchen with some barrels, dried hops vines, and a mural of grape vines in the overhead. The lavs were all of the way aft, left, as indicated by the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate. Still in the bar area, a line of high tables and chairs center fronted a short wall with the restaurant area to the left. Looking up, in the overhead, were a couple of skylights providing natural lighting. It may have been a Clean, Well-lighted Place for Beer, but I can hang with natural light. A glance into the restaurant area revealed booths along the far left wall, high tables and chairs along the center dividing wall, and standard tables and chairs between them.
Beers: Twenty-one (21) on tap; 1 cask; around 25 plus in bottle. First off, hats off to a focus on CA craft breweries! They strive to offer the best draft selection in Ventura County and I have no doubt that they are successful. Further, I have long been a supported of buy local, drink local, go Navy, so theirs is in alignment with my philosophy. I was astounded to see that Ventura and Santa Barbara have breweries, and better yet, they were represented here. BTs ranged from Belgium (St. Bernardus, Chimay, Duchesse) to American (Anderson Valley, Victory).

Stopped by on a Sunday evening for a quick beer with the sister-in-law, who just turned 21, and the wife.
We got there at about 8:20pm knowing they closed at 9pm. Crowd was somewhat sparse, but not as dead as one might think for a Sunday night. The bartender let us know they were about 10 min. away from last call. Huh? She was nice enough and made good suggestions to our non-craft beer drinking sister-in-law. The reason for the low service score will be explained in a minute.
Selection was quite good. Only 3-4 taps that I could see dedicated to macros. The rest were CA beers. Good choices of Firestone Walker, Lost Coast, Stone, etc. I had the Telegraph California Ale in a 22oz. pour. Nice. The 2 ladies had 16oz. beers @ $5.50 each and mine was $6.95. Not terribly cheap, but not bad either.
Didn't have any food as the kitchen was already closed. But, we were just going for an after dinner drink anyway.
My issue with the service was 2 fold. 1.) the bar doesn't close until 9pm, so why have last call at 8:30? 8:45 maybe, but 8:30 is too early. 2.) At 8:50pm they were turning the lights out on us and we weren't the last ones in the building either.
So, I would still recommend a stop if in the area, but be aware of their closing times. And subtract 10-15 minutes.

Visited on Wednesday, 10/08/08 at noon.
There is ample street parking near this food and beverage emporium. The eatery is located in an historic building in Camarillo, across the street from a lovely park (and boarded up school) and not far from the 101 freeway.
The room is expansive and had the potential to be a boom box if the joint were crowded. It was not on my visit. Booths are comfortable.
Not many folks were drinking craft beer during my visit, but seeing as how it was lunchtime on a weekday, well... The clientele seemed to be mostly local people out for a bite during their lunch hour.
The all-female host and wait staff was attentive and pretty. A lady who I took to be a manager made the rounds of all the tables, asking diners about their meals. When she spotted my Stone shirt, she lingered at the table for a good five minutes to chat me up, trying to get a beer geek's perspective on the place.
To accompany my beer, I had the West Coast Cuban Sandwich with coleslaw. The sandwich struck me as a bit dry at the beginning, but by the time I was finished, the pulled pork, ham, cheese, pickle and ciabtta bread concoction had won me over. The cole slaw, while fresh, pretty much just tasted like shredded cabbage and mayo.
My friend's Cobb salad was given the thumbs-up by him.
Food prices were all in the ten dollar range, with few choices under and lots over. Still, the quality and service justified the prices.
There are twenty taps, and the management tries to get unusual things in there that beer geeks will enjoy. I had a Firestone Saucerful of Merkins, Sierra Nevada Super 7 and The Bruery's Humulus Bruin. They always have a few hard to find drafts, it seems.
Overall, I would say this place is worth the drive if it's the closest good beer establishment to you, or worth pulling off the 101 for if you have an hour or two to kill (or you have a designated driver!).

I was last here on 08-24-08 in the late afternoon (approx. 4pm). Fairly empty, but that's to be expected on the Sunday afternoon. I was glad it was empty, because this place can fill up quickly.
The floor plan is very open. Tables inside & out. An expansive bar with 20 or so taps. They specialize in California crraft brews & the football-sized chalkboard inside the front door givs you an up-to-the-minute selection. Some noticeable brews: Firetone's Strawberry Blonde, Little Opal, and Unfiltered Double Barrel Ale. Sierra Nevada Crystal Wheat, Stone Ruination, Oaked Arrogant Bastard and the 12th Anniv. Ballast Point Calico Amber Ale, Green Flash Imperial IPA, 2 selections from Telegraph, a few beers from local breweries in Carpenteria and Ventura, Lost Coast Great White and I can't remember them all.
They put a cask on the engine on Friday night, but I have yet to make it out for that (YET, I stress). They have a bottle collection apparently, but I get too caught up in the taps I couldn't tell you the choices.
The regular taps are available for the folks who hate change: Newcastle, Guinness, a few light macros, etc.
Service has always been good here. The food is fantastic. This last time out, I had a Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that paired extremely well with the Firestone Lil' Opal saison.
The averages are right for this place. If you're anywhere in between 1000 Oaks and Ventura, throw this joint into your GPS. It's worth it.

Drove over sixty miles just to go here today and try the Super 7 Pilsner brewed for them by Sierra Nevada, pretty much right off the 101 in a cool little mom and pop neighborhood, place was big and I noticed a lot of tables and booths when I walked in, so it seemed like more of a restaraunt than anything else, after going to the bathroom I sat down at the huge bar and noticed about twenty taps and a dozen bottles on the wall, bottles were not that impressive with some macros, a Chimay, Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout, Victory Hop Devil, Stone Levitation Ale, and a few others, the tap selection on the other hand was unbelievable and I had not seen fifty percent of the beers they had available anywhere else, the Firestone Walker is what caught my eye in particular, they had their Strawberry Blonde, Little Opal, and Unfiltered Double Barrel Ale, I could not believe my eyes, I contemplated getting a hotel and just spending the night out here because I wanted to try so many beers but needed to try home, unfortunately I was only able to have the SN, another Sierra Nevada that caught my eye was Crystal Wheat, other taps included Stone Ruination and Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Ballast Point Calico Amber Ale, Green Flash Imperial IPA, two brews from Telegraph, a few beers from local breweries in Carpenteria and Ventura, Lost Coast Great White, and a cask that went on a few minutes before I got there of Telegraph Bourbon Barrel Porter, prices were a little high but I do not mind paying it with that lineup, place was immaculate and had several flat screen TVS, which I sat in front of and watched ESPN for the half an hour or so I was there, bartender was real nice and offered me a few tasters, the owner even gave me a more detailed description of the beer I came to try and was quite proud of the results, did not even look at a food menu or eat because I did so right before coming, the crowd was businessman and families, only a couple people at the bar, it was a real cool vibe in a neat area, I cannot wait to go back and try those Firestones soon

Liked it! Great taphouse. They had a very wide variety from Bigfoot, Stone 11th Anv, Oaked Bastard, Racer 5, Telegraph, Stone Smoked Porter, Green Flash IIPA, Lil Devil and much more. A range from Belgias to Bwine! Happy hour is from 3PM to 5PM? I think. They also had a great bottle selection ranging from more macro but also had some locals and other West Coast brews. Nice place with a little patio outside. Nice tables and a rather long bar. Plenty of room. The day we were in they were filming something for Dr. Phil, yeah, Dr. Phil. The bartender was nice and accomadating as well. Best taphouse between LA and San Fran in my opinion

The Simplified Spelling Society
working towards the
Modernization of English Spelling
• more effective education • higher standards of literacy•
• easier mastery of the language • a more efficient writing system•
Why Simplify Spelling?
The need to modernizeSpelling is a system of letters giving words recognizable written form. If the letters are used consistently to show how words are pronounced (as they are meant to), literacy is easily mastered. However, the spelling of words may become out of date as pronunciation changes thru the ages, and literacy then becomes more difficult. To avoid this, spelling needs to be updated to ensure sounds and letters still match. Many languages have updated their spelling in the past 100 years, but English has not done so systematically in the past 1000. English spelling today is therefore so antiquated that it presents a serious obstacle to education.
What's wrong with English spelling?English spelling is full of contradictions. Letters may stand for the wrong sound, like o in woman or u in busy or gh in cough, and most are sometimes silent, like b in doubt or s in island. Consonants vary from single to double, like f in afraid but ff in affray, or t in omit but tt in omitted. Endings are unpredictable: compare beggar, teacher, actor. Success in the modern world depends on literacy, yet English spelling is so disordered that after 10 or more years schooling many people still have only a shaky command of it, and millions are functionally illiterate. Even in the hands of professional writers it is an uncertain and clumsy instrument. As a medium of world communication, English is learnt by hundreds of millions of non-native speakers, yet their access to the language is likewise obstructed by the mismatch between speech and writing, which arouses anger, ridicule and frustration. Native and non-native users alike would gain from simpler, more regular, more predictable spellings.
Introducing simpler spellingSuch a complex, worldwide system of communication cannot be revolutionized overnight. Awareness first has to be spread of the advantages of simplification: greater consistency would improve literacy, make written communication easier, and benefit all education. Society then needs to ensure that schools teach simpler, more regular spellings, and that publishers provide texts using the new forms, which would also have to be listed in dictionaries. In this way simplified spellings would gradually become accepted as a new standard.
SSS - Past, Present and Future
Historical perspectiveIn Shakespeare's day English spelling was fluid, with no fixed "correct" forms for words. In the 17th century printers came to prefer most of the forms we now consider correct, but they gave little thought to consistency (eg, they opted for receive but relieve, speak but speech, etc). Since then, eminent linguists, educationists and others (eg, Benjamin Franklin, Noah Webster, Isaac Pitman) have called for reform, yet little has changed even by the end of the 20th century. Today's need to improve literacy and assist world communication in English gives a new urgency to calls for the spelling to be simplified.
New Spelling and the i.t.a.The movement to reform English spelling reached a peak before 1914, with support in America from President Theodore Roosevelt and in 1908 the founding of the Simplified Spelling Society (SSS) in Britain. The SSS first proposed a fully phoneticized system (New Spelling), which radically changed the look of the language and implied a standard pronunciation. Its most positive outcome was its adoption by James Pitman (later SSS President) as a basis for the Initial Teaching Alphabet, a regularized spelling system with extra letters which was used in the 1960-80s in many schools in several countries. It showed the dramatic gains that regular spelling brings to the process of literacy acquisition, as well as the feasibility of co-ordinating spelling reform between countries.
New approachesThe later 20th century saw new approaches to the problem, aiming at partial regularization as a first stage. A Swedish proposal (1959) concentrated on helping readers rather than writers. Australian reformers (1969) proposed a series of small simplifications, from which the SSS (1984) derived a set of 5 changes giving forms like hed, fotograf, caut, cof, giv. More recently, Lojikon (1995) proposed regularizing the spelling of consonants only, while Cut Spelling removed the 10% troublesome redundant letters, so also creating the economic benefits of time and materials saved in writing and publishing.
The SSS thus now offers a range of reform possibilities.

Law Firms
How Nixon Peabody encourages diversity
Posted Mar 26, 2013 5:29 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Nixon Peabody believes it may be the first BigLaw firm to include an hourly commitment in a diversity initiative.
In 2010, the law firm began urging all of its lawyers to give at least 40 hours a year to efforts that encourage diversity, the Washington Post reports. Lawyers document the hours on time sheets so the law firm can take the effort into account when evaluating lawyer pay.
According to the story, the percentage of high-ranking female and minority lawyers in law firms is "stubbornly low." The Post cites statistics on equity partners in multi-tiered partnerships from NALP, the association for legal career professionals: Last year, 15 percent of equity partners at these firms were women, and just under 5 percent were racial or ethnic minorities.
At Nixon Peabody, the percentage of minority partners is now at about 7 percent, up from 5 percent a few years ago. The story quotes Kendal Tyre, co-chair of Nixon Peabody's diversity action committee. "Our numbers are not where we want them to be," he said. "But as far as our programs, we're headed in the right direction."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed center Darryl Boyce off waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The 27-year-old Canadian has one goal and one assist in 17 games with the Maple Leafs this season. He's also played 22 games for the Toronto Marlies in the American Hockey League.
Boyce has six goals and nine assists in 64 career NHL games.
Earlier Saturday, the Blue Jackets assigned defenseman David Savard to their AHL affiliate in Springfield, Mass.
The 21-year-old Savard has two goals and seven assists with 16 penalty minutes in 26 games with the Blue Jackets this season. He also has three goals and 11 assists with 38 penalty minutes in 28 games with Springfield.

UC tuition hike won't affect CLU students on special scholarships
The University of California has increased tuition again, but it won't affect students at California Lutheran University with scholarships that allow them to attend the private Thousand Oaks college at the UC rate.
UC increased its tuition by 9.6 percent in July, responding to further state budget cuts. If CLU factored in that increase, the scholarship students would have been responsible for $1,120 more in tuition, said Matt Ward, vice president for enrollment management and marketing at CLU.
"Students are setting up their loans, working summer jobs to help pay for school," Ward said. "That's a significant chunk of change to come up with."
The students are part of the CLU Guarantee Scholarship Program, which allows students admitted to one of five UC campuses to come to CLU for the same cost. Those campuses are UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara.
The scholarship covers the difference between the cost of attending CLU and the less-expensive, public UC, including tuition, books and living expenses. Without the latest UC tuition hike, that difference is $19,431 a year.
Jacqueline Chavolla, 18, is taking out loans and getting help from her family and church to pay for college, so the extra tuition would have been a hardship, she said.
"I wouldn't have been able to afford it," said Chavolla, who lives in Oxnard. "That would have been a lot of money for me."
This coming school year, 170 students are participating in the program, an increase of 65 percent over last year. Nearly half the students receiving the scholarship last year were the first in their families to attend college. About 40 percent identified themselves as Latino.

Lucian Bute's left hand continues to dominate opponents.
Kelly Pavlik's next fight likely will not be against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Chavez's team rebuffed efforts for Bob Arum to make the fight, saying that he just isn't ready yet. Without Chavez headlining, Pavlik's next bout, which is tentatively scheduled for December, likely would not end up being at Dallas Stadium.
I encourage everyone to read it this week, as it's filled will all kinds of great material (some of which I may write on independently, once I get the time). Most interesting tidbits: Michael Katsidis may face Robert Guerrero on BAD on March 27; on April 17, a Pavlik-Martinez / Bute-Miranda doubleheader looks likely; and promoters are working on a Darchinyan-Donaire rematch. In his blog, Rafael also mentions the possibility of a Andre Berto-Paulie Malignaggi Haiti benefit fight, Timothy Bradley-Marcos Maidana, and Zab Judah-Carlos Quintana or Victor Cayo.
Read the article, knowing what else you know, and see what you believe. The 'near-death' experience was a while back, but he says he wasn't able to punch anything because of his hand, and he'd already "learned his lesson" by coming in against Hopkins at less than 100%. I'm sure this story has a lot of truth to it, as well as a lot of exaggeration.
First, Abraham will face Giovanni Lorenzo in June, but according to this German news service, the contract is done and sitting in front of both fighters. Article also mentions that Arthur has been having weight problems and got a new nutritionist and cook so he can stay at 160 through then. Translated version of the page is available here.
Yahoo! Sports will carry video of the weigh-ins for Saturday night's Top Rank PPV at 3:25 PM ET.
Dan Rafael's blog mentions the following fights being discussed this weekend in Las Vegas: * Ricky Hatton v. the Oscar/Manny winner, obviously * Juan Manuel Lopez and Ivan Calderon possible for the Pavlik/Cotto PPV card in February * Fernando Montiel v. Nonito Donaire in March on Showtime * Winky Wright v. Mikkel Kessler in March/April on HBO * Winky v. Joe Calzaghe (highly unlikely) * Sergio Martinez v. Joe Greene as a co-feature for Berto-Collazo * Jesus Chavez v. Joel Casamayor, Jorge Barrios or Michael Katsidis on Versus in '09
