A Vintage Flower~frog Christmas Tree...
December 20th, 2012... I first posted this way back in November of 2010... but I wanted to join in with Debra's last Vintage Christmas Party for the year at Common Ground this week, so I am linking it again... some of you saw it back in 2010 but most of you did not... hope you enjoy it!... thanks for hosting the party Debra!... xoxo Julie Marie
Have you ever seen a Christmas tree made out of vintage flower frogs?... probably not, I just made it up!... tee hee hee... yes, I am ten years old again at Christmas time... I was stacking some of my vintage flower frogs to dust underneath them, when I thought they looked like a little Christmas tree... (I KNOW what you are thinking... "doesn't take much to amuse HER'")... you are right!... I love being silly sometimes... okay, I love being silly ALOT of times!... (all my laugh lines on my face prove it!)...
So, I put my precious little angel with the broken wing (yes, she was a "fallen angel" years ago, but later in life changed her ways)... on the top of the "tree" along with some of my mini vintage ornaments and bells at the bottom of it...
My beautiful little "fallen angel" is over fifty years old...her little head is out of spun cotton... she was mine when I was a little girl... I love her so...
But sometimes, she says the spikes on the flower frogs are a little hard to sit on... Ouch!...
So a little vintage Santa takes over for awhile... and she flies back to my big vintage decorated tree... wishing you a beautiful, whimsical, happy~decorating for Christmas kind of day...okay, I have been having too much fun playing... back to my housework!... (anyone who makes fun of my flower~frog tree will be banned from my blog!... tee hee hee!)... xoxo...

After collectively adding 25 points to England's 59-point tally in the victory over Italy at the weekend, it's no surprise that England wings Chris Ashton and Mark Cueto can't wipe the smiles off their faces.
The former touched down four times, taking his England record to nine Tests played, nine tries scored and while his swan-diving antics may have attracted the media attention, Northampton Saints man Ashton is just happy to be part of a winning side.
He said: "I had no intention of doing the dive again but there had been so much talk about it that I thought I'd just go with it. It was a great team performance and we did what we set out to do and I was just lucky enough to be on the end of a few balls before heading over."
On the other wing, Sale Sharks' Cueto went 18 games without touching down before his score against the Azzurri. So when he did finally cross the whitewash, he certainly knew about it, as he explained:
"It felt like the whole of Twickenham were diving on top of me when I went over. It was a nice moment and there was a little bit of relief to be honest. I feel like I've been playing great but ultimately you're judged on your tries so it was good to go over."

The student pilot was performing a landing when the airplane bounced several times before he lost control of the airplane. The airplane veered to the right and departed the runway. As the airplane continued through the grass, the right wing contacted a construction sign and impacted a ditch, coming to rest inverted. An eyewitness reported that the tailwheel never fully contacted the ground prior to departing the runway. No preimpact anomalies were reported by the pilot.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

VanderBlog: New Schedule – The Perils of PredictionPosted by on April 21, 2013 – 6:14 am
by Marc Vandermeer @TexansVoice
This year's schedule looks tough and probably will be. But the truth is, you never know how a schedule will play out. Below are some examples of match-ups and situations that didn't go down as advertised. Circle a win or loss on your schedule with great care. 'Easy' opponents often turn out to wolves in sheeps' clothing. Sometimes tough games can be a lot smoother than you thought.
2012 Finish
When last year's schedule was released, didn't we all look at the final three games (2 vs. Indy and one against Minnesota) and think we could pencil in all three as wins, or at least two? Who knew that the Colts and Vikings would be playoff teams and Houston would go 1-2 against them, wiping out home field advantage in the playoffs.
2010 Season
You would have gladly taken a split against Indy (with Manning) and Washington to start the season. Instead, The Texans went 2-0. No one on the planet could have predicted a 2-10 finish low lighted by the hail-Mary loss to the Jags, and last minute defeats to San Diego, Baltimore, the Jets and the Tebow-led Broncos.
2009 Opener vs. the New York Jets
New coach, rookie quarterback. A Texans win was a virtual lock. Not really. The Jets dominated the game, holding Houston's offense without a touchdown as Mark Sanchez looked amazing. My, how times have changed.
2004 Opener vs. San Diego
The Chargers were coming off a 4-12 season, they drafted Phillip Rivers and Drew Brees was supposed to play a Steve DeBerg type of role to usher in the new quarterback. Well, Brees performed brilliantly, reinventing himself, and the Chargers won, launching a 12-4 campaign.
2004 Finale vs. Cleveland
The Texans won back-to-back games on the road against the Bears and Jacksonville. Surely they would beat a weak Cleveland team to finish 8-8 for the first time. Nope. The Browns won and the Texans went 7-9. The loss should have been a wake up call but the Texans had an unproductive off season and stumbled through a 2-14 season the next year.
2002 Season
A four win season was not out of the question but it's who the Texans beat that was a surprise. The opening night win over the Cowboys was a shocker. The win at Jacksonville surprised many. The fact that the Texans beat two playoff teams (Pittsburgh, New York Giants) was unthinkable.
We'll highlight some of these on Texans All Access (Tuesdays, 12-2pm, Sports Radio 610) Tell me what I left out.

The 2002 Inaugural season.
A name changing running back, thousand yard rushers…over and over again.Every season, different names at the RB. Statistics say that David Carr had been the MOST sacked for two years in a row.
Mister boselli hardly played if he ever played. Jacksonville and Tampa Bay were headlining neighbors and the Dallas Cowboys stayed relatively irrevelant until a 2006 playoff push against seattle where Seattle rebounded and then played the Steelers in the Big game.

House Party
Ben Thomas
In a National Party conference weekend marked by controversy, the most scandalous revelation your correspondent uncovered at the Friday Leader's Cocktails was that there were in fact no cocktails on offer; only wine and beer.
That was possibly a stroke of luck for the Tories, though. If Bill English and Nick Smith had been inhaling mojitos all night, the subsequent covert recordings from the function supplied to TV3 could have been much worse. They may have picked up background noise from an impromptu Gerry Brownlee karaoke performance, for instance.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying the scandal that did erupt - the audio files of English and the Smiths, Lockwood and Nick - was outrageously overplayed by the media and National's parliamentary opponents.
The story was as follows: an unknown person, who claimed later to be unaffiliated with any political party, attended the Friday night social event posing as a National Party member and engaged the three senior MPs in conversation around left-wing touchstones: state ownership of Kiwibank, nuclear power and Working for Families.
The conversations were recorded and played on the broadcaster as evidence suggesting that National had a "secret agenda."
Fine. Except the recordings disclosed no such thing. They were evidence of absolutely nothing except a slightly looser verbal style than MPs would present in a formal media interview or Parliament. This is a story about language.
At it's most basic, there is syntactic precision: there was little effort made in the media to differentiate a secret recording of a conversation (as in this case) from a recording of a secret conversation (which may have yielded something much more interesting).
This immediately made listeners reach (and over-reach) for some indications of the hidden and esoteric.
But at the other extreme was a failure of the media in its role as interpreter of the language of politics.
English conceded he would eventually prefer to sell off Kiwibank "but not now."
In fact absolutely nothing in English's comments was inconsistent with National's declared policy. Lockwood Smith was accused of revealing the hidden agenda when he said "Once we have gained the confidence of the people, we've got more chance of doing more things."
He even said, "We may be able to do some things we believe we need to do, perhaps go through a discussion document process - you wouldn't be able to do them straight off."
In other words, National may have a secret plan to, er, consult with the community and gauge public opinion before implementing new policy.
There would be no surprise if National used its first three years of a hypothetical government to try to convince the public that some asset sales were in the country's best interests.
It would obviously be preferable to try and do this through reasoned dialogue with the electorate and discussion documents, rather than shouted sloganeering about "selling the family silver" during a six week election campaign.
There is a very relevant example of a major political party in government pursuing a deeply unpopular policy in the face of public opposition, and refusing to abandon it despite repeatedly being told it is not what voters want. It is the Labour government's push for state funding for political parties.
Labour has never campaigned in an election on this policy but it is a fond wish of the prime minister and her party.
It's also a policy that is widely detested by the public, and has been soundly rejected every time its prospect has been floated either through official comments or strategic leaks.
(Your correspondent offers no opinion on the merits or otherwise of state-funding. Dipping into government coffers may mean a better range of refreshments at Leader's Cocktails, but that's not the point.)
The idea was dropped from Labour's internal review of election funding which ended up in the Electoral Finance Act after public opposition, and English this week referred to cabinet papers approving costings for state-funded political parties for the 2008 budget in March.
These plans were also shelved, but Annette King confirmed in the House on Wednesday that securing state cash for political parties remained a goal for Labour.
That the government of the day and media have held up statements suggesting National will do the same thing as evidence of anything except business-as-usual shows a bizarre proclivity to muddy the waters.
Journalists have heard the kinds of statements Smith was making from both parties on off-the-record-briefings and know what they mean.
(As a digression: English's comments were newsworthy, because they filled in a space that was implied in outline by the stated policy. It was useful to have his long term preferences on record, but it was not shocking.)
Labour is relying heavily on what can be dubbed the "Hollow Men" narrative about National. This is a rather nebulous concept that something about the way National conducts politics - from its polling, to its policy formulation, to its campaigning to it's actions if in government - is somehow uniquely deceitful and dangerous to New Zealand.
It also revolves around the idea that secretive forces are at work on what is essentially a conspiracy.
But the loudest proponents of this pseudo-theory behave in a way that increasingly makes it unclear who the victims of conspiracy are meant to be.
Last month Nicky Hager and Alistair Barry's documentary version of the Hollow Men debuted, featuring extensive stalker-style footage of Don Brash's oblivious former speech writer Peter Keenan, taken from outside his property filming close-ups into his lounge and his backyard.
In 2006, unknown Labour-aligned sources followed and recorded video footage of John Key at an outdoor market and posted lampooning footage to websites.
It's really not clear who National's opponents would have us believe is the victim in this story, and who is the perpetrator.

2 Comments & Questions
I also think there's been a certain amount of (willful?) disingenuity about the realities of grown-up politics, especially in parties like National and Labour that aren't personality cults or made up of single-issue fanatics.
To put it bluntly: Any politician - or party activist - who tells you they agree with every clause and punctuation mark of every policy their party has ever held is either a mindless hack or (more likely) lying. I think it would be fair comment, Ben, to say we both know folks in the Labour Party who wish that a more aggressively left-ward direction had been taken in all kinds of areas over the last nine years. I don't see anything wrong with that. But they also get the idea of caucus/Cabinet collective responsibility, the brutal calculus of passing legislation and the tiresome convention that majorities rule -- even if you happen to think the majority is a pack of morons.
And the hyping of the Nick Smith comment was simply bizarre. You mean National's election strategy includes trying to focus attention on those areas they think voters will respond positively to, and away from perceived weaknesses? Next you'll be telling me the shocking news that fire is hot, water is wet and the sun goes down at night.
I believe the mother of all secret agendas was the demise of THE PRIVY COUNCIL ?The other one was the support of HELEN CLARKE FOR THE ANTI SMACKING BILL.After all she is on record saying she would never be involved in that type of legislation!! To me NZ is a democracy when to most media it only applies to LABOUR? Go BILL go well !!

Eric finished his clean up and replanting job. He worked all day on it yesterday. It is suppose to rain/snow mix tomorrow but I think everything will be ok. When we got here in Bountiful the weeds covered the word Elks. Eric had to pull weeds, turn the dirt over, treat it with weed killer, chop up the big clumps of dirt and replant. Eric has worked on this off and on the whole time we've been here. I also took a picture of the intersection we look at everyday out our window. We have seen gas jump 28 cents since getting here. In the morning we almost hate to look to see if prices went up. Today I am going with Eric to the family history center. Probably my last time this trip. I didn't find out what I had hoped. The accuracy of names on important documents is incredibly inaccurate. Like Archie Kiracofe's marriage certificate – his name is listed as Kiracoffee. I really enjoyed this month here in Utah. I learned a lot about bread making. Last night I tried whole wheat again. I ground the wheat and made the recipe. I probably should grind the wheat a bit more. It's nice to have a loaf of hot bread at dinner.

Faux wood blinds, also known as imitation wood blinds or fake wood blinds, combine the attractiveness of real wood with the durability, ease of cleaning, and moisture resistance of synthetic materials. More warp resistant than ever before and with ultra-high UV ratings, our faux wood window treatments are a great choice for humid environments, windows that receive a lot of harsh direct sunlight, or high traffic rooms such as playrooms, kid's rooms or family rooms. Learn more about faux wood window blinds by reading Real Wood vs Faux Blinds.
07/19/2012 - What a wonderful experience.
I ordered faux 2" mahogany blinds and was notified that they were on backorder. I was offered real wood ones without an extra cost and I couldn't be happier. I will surely recommend you guys to any of my friends who need some blinds!
-- Gina, Florence, AL
Blindster offers a variety of faux wood blind styles, sizes and color options to suit most window covering needs. We carry 1", 2", and 2 1/2" slat horizontal blinds that can be customized to your liking with a variety of options and colors depending on which style you choose. The difference in window covering slat size is somewhat personal taste. Functionally, a larger slat size offers a wider, shutter-style view to the outside when open.
Depending on your window blind selection, widths range from 7 to 108 inches; and heights vary from 9 to 96 inches. Color options range from 3 for our 2" Super Value Faux Wood Blinds to 15 for our 2" Premium Faux Wood Blind.
Increase light and privacy with a variety of options available on our Premium Faux Wood Window Blinds:
Cloth Tapes: Cloth tapes are a popular decorative option available on horizontal blinds. With this option, the standard braided cord ladders are replaced with decorative tape available in a variety of colors. Cloth tapes also increase privacy and light control by covering the route holes.
Routeless Slats: When you choose routeless slats for your horizontal blinds, the slats have no route holes. Instead, the ladder cords are held in place by small notches at the back of the slat. This provides additional light control and privacy for your custom window covering.
Buy blinds online and save with Blindster's discount prices on imitation wood blinds! To help you choose the perfect blind, Blindster offers free samples, and on most orders we offer free shipping, too. Blindster carries a great selection of fauxwood window fashions.

"Hum Aapke Hain Koun..?" Asks Madhuri To Salman Khan Again!

MUMBAI: Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit recreated the magic of their hit film "Hum Aapke Hain Koun…!" on the sets of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5″ recently. They even enacted the famous scene from the song "Didi tera dewar". Salman used a catapult to aim at Madhuri's derriere just the way they did in the 1994 film, and the duo even danced together to a few other numbers, said a source from the sets.
While Madhuri is among the judges on the dance reality show, Salman came to shoot for a special episode with his "Ek Tha Tiger" co-star Katrina Kaif.
Salman even shook a leg with Katrina to her hit item number "Sheila ki jawaani".
The former off-screen couple will be a part of the show's forthcoming episodes, to be aired Saturday and Sunday.

Fundamental Ignorance
"I have to represent all my constituents, not just the millionaires," said Del. Tom Hucker (D-Montgomery). "I think those folks can afford to pay more state income taxes, especially in the wake of enormous federal income tax cuts that they have benefited from for the last six years."
No delegate, a tax cut is not a benefit handed down from the federal government, as if the money belonged to the government to give to millionaires. No, delegate, a tax cut is a government restraint upon itself from taking money, which already belongs to the citizens who generated it themselves. As Rick Moran noted:
This simple, basic, liberty loving concept has been forgotten by liberals...who see tax cuts as part of a government "plan" for the economy hence, monies that the government will forgo collecting in order to modify or encourage some kind of economic activity. In short, the money "given back" to taxpayers is really the government's money to begin with, theirs to do with as they see fit.
To not see how that concept turns the idea of freedom on its head reveals a moral blindness that makes it easy to posit that all property is subject to government approval and control. It justifies eminent domain and host of other egregious threats to human liberty that used to be a concern of liberals but is now seen as an impediment to government management of most every facet of people's lives.
Unless citizens stop electing legislators like Hucker, who have no understanding or respect for this fundamental concept of liberty, we will continue to see tech taxes, eternal structural deficits, and ever more governmental appropriation of taxpayer money to fund increased spending of money it does not have.

- Great place to eat in Solana Beach.MindyLZDined on 11/14/2014We enjoyed the food and ambiance at this local spot in Solana Beach. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent Food at a slowww pace...MaceyDined on 10/20/2014The Wild Note is attached to and part of the same ownership as the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. I have eaten there quite a few times and while the food is pretty decent, at times even good, the service is consistently pretty bad. It's always surprising to me how bad the service is, as the restaraunt is very small, and usually has several servers. It is the perfect place for a pre-concert dinner. Go there for dinner and you have a good parking spot for the show. Just don't expect much in the way of efficient, quick service with a smile... FYI, serves a nice slow lunch as well.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Especially FreshyonenaDined on 10/16/2014Wild Note Cafe associated with Belly Up Music scene is a local gem. If you go early, it is quiet and you can enjoy the ambiance. Sitting outside is a window into this funky neighborhood and inside you can enjoy all the local folks at the bar or other diners. Food, as always, was very good. We particularly enjoyed the lobster dumplings and the salmon...all fresh and good.Special Features:
- great before a showadasawVIPDined on 10/13/2014Attached to the Belly Up; food was very good and service was excellent. Food came out quickly...almost too fast since we were killing time! Would definitely eat here again before going to a show at the Belly Up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dine here before going next doorSteveWVIPDined on 10/8/2014We dined at 6 p.m. on a Tuesday evening. Most of the diners were having an early dinner before going next door to the Belly Up for the evening's musical entertainment. Food was tasty. Service was a little harried as only two or three staff tried to serve the full house of diners. Restaurant opens at 11 a.m. and closes mid-week at 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 11 p.m. Reservations are highly recommended.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfortunate food experiencemsminimalistDined on 9/26/2014This used to be a great place for lunch. The street has such character, and the restaurant was part of that. And, the food was good, and interesting. No more. I was embarrassed, having 4 guests with me, that the food was so bland and uninteresting. How can tacos and stir fry be served with no seasonings at all? Don't know what happened, but i'll not do dinner there again. Probably not lunch, either.
- Great experienceIkesDined on 9/25/2014My wife and I dined there for the first time recently. We did the San Diego Restaurant Week fixed price dinner. We each liked the food very much. We had lobster dumpling and calamari appetizers. They were outstanding. The entrees were very good and we especially liked the Mahi Mahi fish taco plate. It was cool to be able to build our own from the plate. The Jack Daniel pie for dessert was a standout ! We will be back. Service was very good - attentive, but not too much so.Special Features:
- First visit in awhileASCII45VIPDined on 9/14/2014Thoroughly enjoyed our return visit to Wild Note Cafe this past weekend after the Fall Home/Garden Show. The mustard-crusted salmon is just as delicious as I remember, and paired perfectly with the bottle of Hitching Post Pinot Noir. The chocolate/peanut butter ice cream dessert was amazing, as were the chips and guacamole. Great service, too. We won't wait so long to come back next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wild NoteOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/22/2014We had a good meal and even though there was a party of ten next to us we got served relatively fast. Very convenient to The Belly Up which we were going to after dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VmsacDined on 8/21/2014Great when attending an event at belly up as u get into club first for show!Special Features:
- Good timeJimFDined on 8/19/2014The Wild Note is a great place to eat, particularly when headed to a Belly Up concert. There is a back door to the venue giving you a jump on the line outside Belly Up. The food is good. Liked the Filet Mignon Sliders with sweet potato fries. Service was good the night I was there. Prices ar OK, not cheap, but not outrageous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A very nice timeGamsNEggsVIPDined on 4/15/2014It was lovely, and I recognized my server from when I moved to town in 1997, but I've been gone, so she didn't recognize me, hence I was marked as not showing up...Special Features:
- No other restaurant on Cedros AvenuOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/30/2014This restaurant is the only sit down dinner venue on all of Cedros Avenue. Unfortunately that means the monopoly beats all quality and parameters for proper rating.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food-good. Service-bad!TaylorDined on 3/26/2014My friend and I had dinner at The Wild Note before a show we were seeing at The Belly Up. We arrived nearly two hours before the show- plenty of time. We had to ask the bus person for our waitress twice... Once to order after sitting for over fifteen minutes waiting for our wine to be brought to the table and to order, and again for our bill. The Calamari appetizer was good. The Caesar Salad was very bland and actually tasteless, unfortunately. We finally received our bill barely ten minutes prior to show time. We were never asked whether or not we were trying to catch the show, which I would think would be one of the waitstaff's first questions there, particularly since the restaurant is a part of the Belly Up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for a Belly Up concertbillDined on 2/16/2014The Belly Up can sellout and parking in the area is at a premium. Go early, have a dinner and have some wine at the Wild Note. Good food, fair prices, side entrance to the concert. Very Convenient !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good preconcert optionbayview19Dined on 1/25/2014The food was good, but a bit overpriced for the quantity you get in return. The mahi sliders were tasty, but small and not filling enough for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New Year's Eve meal....touristsHappyshopperDined on 12/31/2013Booked the a Wild Note after reading reviews here, they didn't hv a child's menu but staff very accommodating. They provided half portions if they could and offered pasta & few plain choices! From 3 course $35 menu, ahi mango roll & Caesar salad. Bacon wrapped scallops, crusted chicken, kids had tandoori chicken & sliders, every dish was presented beautifully & was absolutely delicious.banana chocolate fudge cake & my cheesecake, delish! I totally recommend this place, the food and service is top notch, Go there if you are in Solana beach! Ooh and just to add there is a music venue next door adds a bit of atmosphere but not so noisy !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Belly Up Tavern PrecursorBobbyDined on 12/8/2013Wild Note Cafe is a great place for dinner before seeing a show at Belly Up Tavern.One can feel the excitement in the dining room about the upcoming showl.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulDaleDined on 11/7/2013Four of us decided to hit the Wild Note before a Belly Up concert. Although service right after we were seated was VERY slow, once things picked up we were extremely pleased with our decision. The appetizers were very tasty (although not huge or really suitable for large groups/sharing. All four of us raved about our main courses; in particular, the sea bass was FABULOUS as was the salmon. We will definitely return to this wonderful place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Little PlaceGregVIPDined on 10/25/2013Small and tucked in next to the Belly Up Tavern it provide a place for food and quiet conversation with limited outdoor seating.

- Food was good though the lastOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/24/2013Food was good though the last time it wasn't quite as good as usual. Wine list was overpriced and you're better to stick with beer. Nice little neighborhood gem with some unique items on the menu. Enjoyable and would be good for most anyone.Special Features:
- Dinner before Anuhea showOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/17/2013Service was very prompt and friendly. Went with the lobster mac and cheese, and the wife had the mixed seafood grill. Hers was small, but great. With mine, the lobster was plentiful, but the mac and cheese itself wasn't as good. It was very runny and thin and the flavor wasn't very cheesy...almost seemed like they diluted it with milk. I guess I prefer my mac and cheese to be gooey and brimming with cheese. More of 3-1/2 stars, but I'll round up to four overall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Before a concertOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/7/2013Great place before you hit the Belly up for a concert. The food is good and the servers are super nice. No complaints!Special Features:
- Good FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/1/2013Had the Tandoori Chicken (recommended by our server) as well as the Edamame. Everything was yummy and perfect for a pre-show meal! The service was great - made sure our water glasses were full and very friendly without being pushy. We spent quite some time sitting and enjoying our wine and never felt like we were being rushed out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place b4 a show @ Belly UpXta42VIPDined on 7/28/2013Must make a reservation before a show. Food is good, our waiter was fantastic. He had a great attitude and was very cheerful. It is the only way to see a show at the Belly Up.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this placeBlondyinCADined on 7/12/2013It's great for a good glass of wine and dinner before seeing a show at Belly Up. Food was so yummy and they have a great selection of wine. I love the outdoor patio (when it's not too hot). It's a small place, but worth it. Lobster dumpling appetizer is awesome. When it gets busy it is very loud because it's such a small place, so the patio is perfect seating.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for dinner, too!MJS3Dined on 5/16/2013I've enjoyed many wonderful lunches at Wild Note Cafe, this was the first time I've been there for dinner. I messed up my OpenTable reservation, made it for Thursday instead of Friday, but amazingly when we showed up a little after 7 they were able to accommodate a group of 6, very impressive. Everyone loved their meals, I had the shrimp and lobster enchiladas which were to die for. Service was efficient and friendly....all good!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We will be back again with friends! Servers were warm, helpful and very welcoming.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I always enjoy Wild Note.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/13/2013I always enjoy Wild Note. Perfect location in Cedros Design District for daytime shopping stop, or before a show at Belly Up. The food offerings are unique and always tasty.Special Features:
- Great pre-concert hangout and food!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/9/2013Great food and pre- concert hangout venue! We took a bit to decide on what to order. The waitress had come over a few times but when we were ready to order couldn't find her and had to get another waitress? She was attentive after that!Special Features:
- good food but deafening musicBRuthDined on 3/8/2013We have eaten here several times and enjoyed it. We were hoping for a quiet, romantic dinner, but the rock music from the theater was deafening, and the quieter patio was closed off for a private event. The food is very good, but the stress from the noise detracted from our ability to enjoy or even taste.
- Before show at Belly UpOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 3/7/2013If you're going to a concert at the Belly Up, it's a great spot to have a bite to eat before the show.Special Features:
- I made the mistake of orderingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/1/2013I made the mistake of ordering tandoori chicken-what was I thinking? this is not an indian restaurant and no tandoor oven in sight. Basically chicken breast with some curry spice. Average meal. The restaurant was busy as is normal when a band is playing, it is a loudish restaurant. Nothing to get excited about.

Samba Shuts Down Vulnerability in AD Interface
The latest version of Samba, 3.0.26, removes a moderately critical vulnerability that only occurs in combination with Microsoft's Active Directory Service.
In some cases users were able to escalate privileges due to incorrect group assignments. The vulnerability was caused by faulty Winbind group assignments if users deployed the "winbind nss info - sfu" or "- rfc2307" plugins. For the attack to work, the primary group attributes had to be missing for "sfu" and "rfc2307".
According to the developers, Samba versions 3.0.25 through 3.0.25c are affected by the vulnerability. Besides the source code package, a patch for the new 3.0.26 version is also available as a download.
