Stopped here for a few drinks, about 6 craft style beers on tap. Could use a good cleaning and some maintenance. Server was very good.
I have had a few meals at this cafe, and though none have been outstanding all were very good and well worth every penny i paid. This cafe has some of the best beer in town on tap and is one of the two best pubs in Orillia.
What really makes this location stand out is the staff and how...
Went to this odd little place around happy hour during the week. The drink selection is limited to mainly Ontario draft beers, which is fine, plus your typical cocktail drinks made with substandard (the cheapest available) ingredients. ($6.95 for a pint of draft at the time of writing)
Bartender was knowledgeable and personable, but that's about as much as the...
Great Beer, but I need FOOD!!!! Were is the cute cheese platters I loved?? AND Any win BUT FUZION!!!
We go to this place once every week or two. I ADORE THIS PLACE! Very kind and friendly staff who always know what we want to drink. The live music is excellent, fueled by so many creative young people. The art changes all the time and they feature all local artists. Very great place if you aren't into the bar...
If coors light, top 40, UFC, spray tan, jersey shore, energy drinks, ed hard-on, and taking selfies in the bathroom is your kind of thing, be prepared to be accepted as an equal and treated with kindness despite the lack of common interests. They won't judge you. Don't judge them.
yours truly,

What's not to be said about this place friendly staff amazing patrons. Great music. Everynight brings something new
I love Brownstone. I'm a regular here & it's the best place to drink & get drunk. Tuesday is open mic & it's really enjoyable. I don't like drinking anywhere else in town. Best wine & best cheese & best people <3
I've tried to give the Brownstone a second chance. I assume the other reviews were written by staff members because the way this place is described is embarrassingly false. The food menu is basically a formality. The owner is not a barista and he is training others how to poorly construct specialty drinks so that's an indication of how poorly...
The Brownstone is the only real choice for a social drink or light food in Orillia. It has a warm feel and the staff and patrons are incredibly welcoming.
It is also the only consistent spot in Orillia for fans of live music. Bands or solo artists are scheduled at least once a week and Tuesday open mic nights are...

Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
Thus, with the preemptive kernel patch, we can reschedule tasks as soon as they need to be run, not only when they are in user space. What are the results of this?
Process-level response is improved twentyfold in some cases. (See Figure 1, a standard kernel, vs. Figure 2, a preemptible kernel.) These graphs are the output of Benno Senoner's useful latencytest tool, which simulates the buffering of an audio sample under load. The red line in the graphs represents the amount of latency beyond which audio dropouts are perceptible to humans. Notice the multiple spikes in the graph in Figure 1 compared to the smooth low graph in Figure 2.
The improvement in latencytest corresponds to a reduction in both worst-case and average latency. Further tests show that the average system latency over a range of workloads is now in the 1-2ms range.
A common complaint against the preemptible kernel centers on the added complexity. Complexity, opponents argue, decreases throughput. Fortunately, the preemptive kernel patch improves throughput in many cases (see Table 1). The theory is that when I/O data becomes available, a preemptive kernel can wake an I/O-bound process more quickly. The result is higher throughput, a nice bonus. The net result is a smoother desktop, less audio dropout under load, better application response and improved fairness to high-priority tasks.
Kernel hackers are probably thinking, "How does this affect my code?" As discussed above, the preemptible kernel leverages existing SMP support. This makes the preemptible kernel patch relatively simple and the impact to coding practices relatively minor. One change, however, is required. Currently, per-CPU data (data structures unique to each CPU) do not require locking. Because they are unique to each CPU, a task on another CPU cannot mangle the first CPU's data. With preemption, however, a process on the same CPU can find itself preempted, and a second process can then trample on the data of the first. While this normally is protected by the existing SMP locks, per-CPU data does not require locks. Data that does not have a lock, because it is protected by its nature, is considered to be "implicitly locked". Implicitly locked data and preemption do not get along. The solution, thankfully, is simple: disable preemption around access to the data. For example:
int catface[NR_CPUS]; preempt_disable(); catface[smp_processor_id()] = 1; /* index catface by CPU number */ /* operate on catface */ preempt_enable();
The current preemption patch provides protection for the existing implicitly locked data in the kernel. Thankfully, it is relatively infrequent. New kernel code, however, will require protection if used in a preemptible kernel.
We still have work to do. Once the kernel is preemptible, work can begin on reducing the duration of long-held locks. Because the kernel is nonpreemptible when a lock is held, the duration locks are held corresponding to the system's worst-case latency. The same work that benefits SMP scalability (finer-grained locking) will lower latency. We can rewrite algorithms and locking rules to minimize lock held time. Eradicating the BKL will help too.
Identifying the long-held locks can be as difficult as rewriting them. Fortunately, there is the preempt-stats patch that measures nonpreemptibility times and reports their cause. This tool is useful for pinpointing the cause of latency for a specific workload (e.g., a game of Quake).
What is needed is a goal. Kernel developers need to consider any lock duration that extends over a certain threshold, a bug for example, 5ms on a reasonably modern system. With that goal in mind, we can pinpoint and ultimately eliminate the areas of high latency and lock contention.
AH! I get it now.
Hmm, this explains why some distros are slow or fast. Lunar Linux allows a Preemptiblle kernel. And it's just lightning fast without any bloat. Hmm, put this option with other distros...and perhaps...*ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM*
Just a rambling thought...anyways, this article comes in handy while deciding on kernel configuration in the unix console.. :p Keep it around!!
Thanks Robert,
nicely explained...
spinlocks in preemptible kernel
The information here is very helpful. thanks.
I have one question.
What is the effect of having kmalloc calls in the code that is protected with spinlock in a preemptible kernel.
kernel preemption
Excellent article, explains well. So that's where all kernel preemption stuff in 2.6 come from!
One question I always had was when the process is in kernel execution path (system call execution), doesn't scheduler_tick decrement its timeslice, and if it does when the timeslice is over, doesn't the scheduler preempts the current process, even though it might be in the middle of the kernel exec path?
Re: Lowering Latency in Linux: Introducing a Preemptible Kernel
It's helpful for me to understand the preemptive kernel.

One of my best friends was ghost writing Anna's autobiography.
From what I heard, a very, very stupid woman.
Hot, but stupid.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
~ Mark Twain
I saw Anna host some show about wives of celebrities (or quasi-celebrities in her case). She could barely put three words together, except when talking about herself.
Just another example of pretty girls not needing a personality, sense of humor, or brains.
Guess I should thank my parents for my ugly genes. :
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
Somewhere, right now, the rest of the Orioles players are trying to figure out how to get Kris to cheat on Anna.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
And Hurricane Anna has hit Baltimore.
Wearing a black jersey of her new favorite team, the Baltimore Orioles, Anna Benson entered a cramped conference room of a Manhattan public-relations firm last night, her makeup still fresh from an earlier photo shoot for the April issue of FHM magazine.
She slapped her husband, Kris, on the thigh as they sat down, then listened as he talked about being traded to Baltimore.
Then it was Anna's turn to respond, and true to her reputation, she did not go quietly.
The trade brought pitchers Jorge Julio and John Maine to the Mets, and Anna used the hastily arranged news conference to sound off on all things personal, baseball and Mets. It was Anna Benson being Anna Benson.
"I think everyone blows me out of proportion," she said.
She is a rarity among today's professional men's athletes: the wife who has more of a public persona than her husband. Her time in New York was, in some ways, more remarkable than that of her husband.
Benson was moderately successful in his 18 months as a Met, but Anna stole the spotlight, sharing intimate details of their sex life, blasting the anti-establishment filmmaker Michael Moore and, more recently, criticizing the Mets for trying to trade her husband.
Hours before the news conference, Kris Benson, in a conference call, said that he was looking forward to working with the Orioles' pitching coach, Leo Mazzone, and to pitching in Camden Yards, the only major league stadium he said he had never visited.
Anna said in a statement released after the trade that she and Benson looked forward to "christening the parking lot" at the stadium, referring to her desire to have sex at every major league park.
Whether her brashness contributed to the Mets' persistence in trying to trade Benson is unclear. Mets officials have publicly denied it, and the deal has been months in the making, especially on the Orioles' part. Only the terms needed tweaking.
The Bensons said they hoped and believed that Anna's outsized personality had not factored into the Mets' decision, but their responses yesterday indicated that they were at least a little suspicious. Benson said he did not think the trade was "cut and dry." Anna was a little more straightforward.
"If they traded Kris because of what I've done, then that's a dirty, nasty, rotten trick," she said, adding that he would have signed elsewhere last winter if they had known he would be traded this quickly after signing a three-year contract.
As she spoke last night, enunciating clearly and forcefully, a smile did not leave her face, even as she addressed some weightier subjects.
She has criticized the Mets for acquiring Carlos Delgado, who has not stood for the playing of "God Bless America" during games because of his opposition to American foreign policy. Clarifying those remarks last night, she said that she wondered why the Mets were willing to acquire Delgado but then were leery when she considered modeling for Playboy.
"Be liberal or not, make a choice," Anna said, adding that her posing for Playboy was a dead issue.
In Baltimore, it is unlikely that Anna Benson's outrageousness will cause as much of a stir as it did in New York. She will continue to spout shocking comments, wear revealing outfits - like the low-cut dress she chose for the Mets' annual holiday party for children - and try to be, according to her, "the sexiest woman in professional sports."
Asked whether the move would damage her career as a model and as an all-around show-business personality, Anna deferred to her husband.
"This is never about me," she said. "This is about him."
My friend would probably kill me for disclosing this, but she's also just a bit**.Wow, who would have ever suspected that?
His firm had set up a cover shot with Maxim and she whined and cried about having to pay for her airfare, the limo, etc.
It never occurred to her that the exposure she would receive from the cover was worth 50 airplane trips and expenses.
She was just rude to my friend, which, you know, is not a wise thing to do to the person writing your life story.
My friend told me about all of this before I had ever even heard of her.

Dom, how did your friend manage to draw the short straw and get stuck with Anna Benson's autobiography? Were the Donnie Most and Elizabeth Berkley autobiographies already assigned to other writers?

Believe it or not, he worked for a PR firm that was started by the son of a 70s celeb. They represented Marshall Faulk and some other people.Dom, how did your friend manage to draw the short straw and get stuck with Anna Benson's autobiography?

I'm guessing he drew the straw because he was in charge of anything and everything to do with the written word for the firm.
One day my friend calls me from Atlanta and tells me he's there spending time with someone working on a biography. He told me who it was, but it didn't register until I asked him about a few months ago when I was visiting him in Los Angeles.
There was never any reason to doubt his story, but I knew it was true when I saw a picture of Mr. Benson and the whole firm sitting on the 70 celeb's son's desk.
There was also a HUGE autographed poster of Faulk in the office. It was very cool.
Wasn't Anna a stripper when Benson met her?

All I can say about that book is it better have pictures in it if they want it to sell.

I don't even know if there is going to be one- at least by my friend. She absolutely hated it- which he took as a compliment- but he did have a few chapters left to go. He was a little behind on it, and she had already paid him, so I can see her concern, but this guy is an incredibly talented writer and sometimes these things take longer than expected, especially if you want it to be any good. Though she hated it, so it probably didn't matter when he finished it.All I can say about that book is it better have pictures in it if they want it to sell.
I'll write him tonight and see whatever came of it.
"If he was traded because of any potential talks with . . . Playboy or anything like this, that's a dirty, nasty, rotten trick — and I think that's really freedom-of-speech infringement," she charged.

This website is meant primarily to advertise and sell my fiction – both my plays (which you can download for free) and the Bob Henderson crime novels (which are for sale). But, for those who don't know much about it, it also introduces the academic research and writing for which I am better known. I hope in fact that the website will serve the dual function of introducing those who know me as an academic to my fiction, and leading those who get interested in me as a 'Mackem' and a crime writer to take an interest in my academic work.
Karl Marx and the philosophy of praxis
"In this major new study, Gavin Kitching builds on recent scholarship on Marx and Wittgenstein to provide an incisive, readable account and critique of the whole of Marx's work.
He presents the philosophical , economic, and political Marx as one thinker, and argues that the key to understanding Marx is his commitment to a 'philosophy of praxis'. This sees thought as just a part of that purposive activity (or praxis) which distinguishes human beings from other creatures.
Karl Marx and the Philosophy of Praxis is the first book to analyse all of Marx's thought from a Wittgensteinian perspective; in doing so, it clarifies and deepens our understanding of Marx to the benefit of the beginning student and the more advanced scholar alike. Written by a social scientist with extensive experience of applying Marx's ideas to both industrialized and underdeveloped societies, it is designed especially with the concerns of social science students in view, although it will also be of interest to historians and philosophers."
"Equally valuable as an introduction to the thought of Marx as it is to the practice of Wittgensteinian linguistic reductionism…The book is close to the classroom; it was developed in large part through teaching and will be useful for both teachers and students." R. L. Perkins, Choice
Africa and Development
I became interested in Africa while studying Politics and Economics in Sheffield, and in 1968 I went to St Antony's College, Oxford to study for a doctorate on African Politics. I spent fourteen months in a peasant village in Tanzania doing fieldwork for my doctorate, and then returned to East Africa in 1973 to follow-up the Tanzanian fieldwork with research on Kenyan peasant farmers. In many respects this was the most formative period of my life. It was my first in-depth contact with a culture other than my own, it gave me an insight into the lives and struggles of some of the world's poorest people, and it was my first experience of learning and mastering a foreign language (Swahili) and living in that language. The major academic result of it all was a very large, prize-winning book on the economic history of Kenya in the colonial period – a book that took me ten years to research and write.
Class and Economic Change in Kenya (1980) established my academic reputation, and most people associate me with it and my subsequent work in the field of development. My short follow-up book, Development and Underdevelopment in Historical Perspective (1983), is probably my most well-known, and certainly my best-selling, piece of academic work – and it had a sequel, eighteen years later, in Seeking Social Justice through Globalization (2001) which has also generated considerable interest.
But while I continued to write and research on Third World development issues, I gradually became deeply disillusioned and distressed by what was going on in Africa itself. To put it simply, I thought that the people among whom I had lived in the 1970s, and whose intelligence and perseverance in adversity I had come to admire greatly, were being grossly betrayed and abused by their supposed political leaders and governors. I therefore gave up researching and writing on the continent from the early 1980s. There was however one last, and unexpected, development on this "African' side of my intellectual biography. Having been persuaded, rather against my will, to attend a conference of the Australasian African Studies Association in Adelaide, Australia in 2000, I felt the only honest paper I could contribute was one entitled: 'Why I gave up African Studies'. (Available at, http://motspluriels.arts.uwa.edu.au/MP1600gk.html). It caused a minor uproar at the Conference and, having been circulated world-wide on web notice boards and other sites, has generated quite a polemic since (see http://www.africa.ufl.edu/asq/v7/v7i2a17.htm for some of that polemic and my reply to critics.)
AN IMPOSSIBLE HONESTY – Scenes from the life of Ludwig Wittgenstein
This play is loosely based on a recent biography of the man who was probably the greatest modern western philosopher and who led a lot more interesting and varied life than the average academic. For example, he won medals for valour in the first world war while writing his first great work of philosophy, and invented useful bits of medical technology in the second world war while writing his second.
The central theme of the play is Wittgenstein's guilty conviction that he was fundamentally dishonest – about his class position, about his homosexuality, about his jewishness – and his life-long struggle to overcome that dishonesty and live a moral life. I suggest that Wittgenstein tried to do this by inventing a mask – a false persona – for himself. And in gradually becoming the mask, in actually adopting the identity he had assumed, he did indeed find ways to become more honest. However his struggle, though successful in a sense, also had costs.
Because the standards of honesty he sets himself in his new persona are at once impossible to attain and make him quite impossible to live with, even for those who loved and admired him.
This was my first attempt at playwriting, but it was short-listed in the Australian Playwrights Association annual competition in 1993. Sadly, however, it has never been performed on stage. Nor has anyone offered to turn it into a film despite it being a ready-made 'Merchant and Ivory- style' period piece. For Wittgenstein was not only a fascinating thinker and character, he was, in the course of an extraordinarily rich life, in touch (directly or indirectly) with Freud, Keynes, Klimt, the Bloomsbury set, Hitler – and all the fascinating beauties and frailties of inter-war Vienna and Cambridge.
A leading north-east New Labour politician has been murdered. Tim Dawson, a rising star of New Labour politics in Newcastle, and Chair of the Tyne and Wear Council, has been shot twice through the head and heart in what looks like a professional killing. His local rival for power in the Labour Party, the tough, old-style union activist, Ralph Lambis is the main suspect in many peoples' eyes, but the police are having a hard time proving anything.
Bob Henderson, a former Professor of Philosophy, has retired to his native north-east to commence the descent into old age in the scenic Pennine village of Stanhope. He is drawn into the murder through a chance meeting with Tim and his beautiful wife Stella, and through his new friendship with Detective Superintendant Peter Halgrave, a former school mate remet by accident, and one of the principal officers on the case.
In coming to discover the murderer, Bob learns a fresh respect for his new policeman friend, is exposed to some of the nastier sides of life in the present day north-east, and finds that he is still capable of feelings and desires he thought long left behind. He also discovers that the intellectual and political passions that have shaped his life – passions about which he has lately come to feel jaded, even cynical – can still help him understand the world and the often strange motives that drive the people in it.
Places of Bob
For those who do not come from there, it is important to know something about the north-east of England if you are really to understand the Bob Henderson novels, so here is a short introduction.
From the early nineteenth century to the 1980s, the northen English counties of Durham and Northumberland shared a common 'heavy industrial' history of coal mining, iron and steel production, shipbuilding and heavy engineering.
As a result, for 150 or more years the region they constituted was dominated by a strongly male working class culture in which trade unions, football, beer and Labour politics all played important roles and helped to create a very powerful regional identity. It was, and to a degree still is, a regional identity which is so strong because it is simultaneously a class identity.
This strong regional identity is also expressed in a unique and well known 'Geordie' dialect of English, a dialect which is in fact not a single entity, but a kind of dialect range shading into Yorkshire speech in the south and into lowland Scots in the north. Its most outstanding feature, and the feature which makes it instantly recognisable as 'Geordie' even to outsiders, is the predominance of Scandinavian-like (in fact Danish/Viking) vowel sounds.
However, since the 1960s the heavy industry of the region has declined, and with it the dominance of the working class culture to which it gave rise. One after another, coal mining, ship building, iron and steel and heavy engineering have all shrunk or disappeared, and the region has lost population. Parts of it are still disfigured by the 'rust belt' urban and social decay which is a feature of many similar regions around the western world.
For all these reasons the north-east to which Bob Henderson returns in the novels is a region very different from the one he had left in the 1960s. He is reminded of this powerfully when he visits the depressed shell of the Durham mining village in which he was brought up, or goes to the shrunken fishing port of North Shields to take a trip on an old trawler.
But 'under' the industrial north-east created in Victorian times, there was a still older region, agricultural, hierarchical, almost feudal in some ways. Bob lives in a place – Stanhope in the upper Wear valley – which represents that still older north-east.
It is emerging from beneath its industrial history as a lead mining centre to reveal its astonishing natural beauty, and in this it typifies much of the region today.
This older north-east is also perfectly symbolised by Durham Cathedral – the traditional seat of power not only of a great English archbishop, but also of a great feudal lord and landowner. In one of the novels Bob actually meets the current Archbishop and his wife, and in doing so draws some more connections between the contemporary region and its deep and extraordinary history.

I have one of these, and I love that fact that it is easy to disassemble for cleaning, and it is large enough to put both of my cats in to transport to the vet in one kennell...the only thing I do NOT like, is the latch pole doesn not always latch properly and I have to be very careful to check the door every time to make sure it is properly latched.
Pros: -
Cons: -

I'm trying to open up the MySQL (3306) port on my EC2 instance and even though I've added the rule, it appears the port is still closed. Do I need to reboot my instance for the policy changes to take effect?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No, SG changes do not require a reboot.
Are you sure you applied the SG changes after adding the 3306 rule?
To digress, I surely hope you're not opening up this port to the public internet. If so, please don't do that. Just use SSH tunneling if you need to access 3306 from outside the EC2 network.

edwalt's - Things I Wish I'd known about SBS 2003....
Urban Legend..."Did you know that it is impossible to have additional Domain Controllers in a Small Business Server Domain?"
This is in fact a myth as long as a few conditions are met.
What The heck is a FSMO role... see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801 for a brief description.
So why would I need an additional Domain Controller anyway? Along with the benefits an additional domain controller can add to a network by it's nature, it also has a copy of your Active Directory data.
Here's the scenario: I have an SBS server, 1 additional domain controller and 35 testy users.... ;)
A storm is rolling across the plains... Lightening strikes the local electrical company, something happens with the local backup power supply for the network and all the servers come crashing down. With fingers crossed you re-start all of the network boxes. Client boxes restart fine......including the V.P. that always wants to keep 10gb of email - :)! You walk back into the server room - to find the additional DC has recovered fine, but after several calls you find that the motherboard on the SBS server is going to need to be replaced!
Uhh-ooh new hardware....yikes...now were looking at downtime but little do I realize that this is the least of my worries! How is new hardware going to react with my current set of backups for the SBS server? Am I going to have to reinstall the domain? Whats going to happen to all of the current desktop profiles for my 35 testy users? Is Exchange going to work? Are my backups any good? Can I restore the data? How long is this going to take?? Man i'm in trouble...........right? No not really, as long as you have valid back-up of your data, and an additional, current, functional, domain controller in your domain to help with you Active Directory information.
Even though you have lost your SBS server, fortunately for you, you still have a current DC from you old domain. An existing domain controller = an existing domain. So how would I install an SBS server into an existing domain? Fortunately there is an article available "How to install Small Business Server into an existing Active Directory domain" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453/en-us . This article walks you through how to reinstall SBS on to new hardware, while still having the ability to work around the necessary boundries of SBS.
Second DC.........Just say yes!
True. I have more than one DC with my current server setup. However, you can't have multiple forests and your server can't belong to more than one forest with the Windows Small Business Server. Those are big-time drawbacks. The catch is the liscensing gets expensive for the add on pack that allows you to have these capablilites. These capabilites are not limited on the standard edition of Windows Server 2003. It would be nice if they would throw that in ... but I guess that is why the Small Business Server is priced so low.

Jon Roland of Constitution.org had this to say about the lawsuits that AGs are filing on the health care bill
There are a few minor things that might be won through litigation, if it were properly pleaded, but the suit filed is incompetent, little more than political posturing. The courts are not going to oppose the political branches on anything important. They are too weak for that. In the meantime the political branches are happy for people to blame the courts when it is they that are the main problem.
I agree. What do you think?

A jury in Dallas County, Texas, awarded nearly $3 million on April 22, 2014, in a suit contending that Aruba Petroleum, Inc., as well as other operators and service providers, had caused "environmental contamination and polluting events" through its drilling, hydraulic fracturing and production activities. In Parr v. Aruba Petroleum, Inc., a jury in Texas' Dallas County Court-at-Law heard evidence that due to the operation of some 22 wells within two miles of a 40-acre ranch owned by Bob and Lisa Parr, the plaintiffs and their daughter had experienced a number of health problems and suffered property damage.
The original petition named several other defendants that allegedly had drilled wells near the Parr's property or that allegedly had been involved in the operations conducted by Aruba Petroleum, Inc. and the other operators. But, Aruba Petroleum, Inc. appears to be the only party that proceeded to trial. The plaintiffs' attorneys claim this case to be the first trial in the United States for contamination involving hydraulic fracturing. Aruba Petroleum, Inc. has indicated that it intends to appeal the verdict.
The suit is Parr v. Aruba Petroleum Inc., No. CC-11-01650-E, in the County Court-at-Law No. 5 of Dallas County, Texas.

Newberry's recent half marathon reminded me of a story about a young man from Chicago.
On Sunday October 13, 2013, a young man who goes by the name of Ronnie Marcin completed his very first marathon - the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
Ronnie is proud to tell you that he finished the marathon in four hours, 32 minutes and 18 seconds. A great accomplishment for a first time marathon runner.
Completing the Chicago Marathon was an even greater accomplishment for the man from the Chicago suburbs because just a few years ago, the idea of running in a marathon was, well, impossible.
Three short years ago, Ronnie found himself in a hospital bed soon after being admitted for overdosing on alcohol. Ronnie had almost died. He had reached bottom and realized that he needed help. He also realized that his behavior was not normal and when a hospital staff member directed him to get help, he did.
Ronnie had seen first-hand how alcoholism and drug addiction destroys lives. Alcoholism took his mother from his family and he knows it could still take him. He knows this race is longer than the marathon.
On March 28, Ronnie marked his three and a half year anniversary of being clean and sober.
As part of his road to sobriety, Ronnie took up running. Then, he decided to run the Chicago Marathon. When asked how he decided to run to benefit NCADD Ronnie stated "I decided to run the marathon not for me but to help other people. I was not interested in glory for my achievements but for the help I could provide to others who are suffering from alcohol and drug abuse." He then added, "I am hopeful that it will inspire others to make a choice that is responsible for me being here today."
Today, Ronnie is working at a Chicago hospital as a Patient Care Technician. He spends time with his sisters and preparing for additional running events including a 5Ks and half marathons. "I live my life one day at a time," said Ronnie. "Tomorrow has not happened yet but I know I am here today and my goal is to live for today and not take a drink. Then start it again tomorrow," he concludes.
We hope that others who face the challenges Ronnie did will be inspired by his story and seek help. Ronnie's inspirational message is best summed up in the following quote from his website, "I will run in memory of those who have lost their battle with the devastating disease of alcohol and drug dependence. I will run as a testament to my commitment to remain sober, and I will run to pay it forward helping others as they struggle with alcohol and drug dependence
Here are some quick facts on the scope of the problem:
•22.6 million people (9.2 percent of the U.S. population ages 12 and older) have an alcohol or drug problem. (National Survey on Drug Use and Health—NSDUH)
•2.4 million adolescents have an alcohol or drug problem. (NSDUH)
•50 percent of adults have a family member with alcoholism. (NSDUH)
•Approximately one in four children under 18 live in a family with alcoholism, and many more live in a family with drug addiction. (NSDUH)
•Alcoholism is the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death in the nation. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
•Alcoholism and drug dependence cost the nation over $276 billion a year, resulting principally from lost productivity and increased health care spending. (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism)
In a 1992 the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) published this definition for alcoholism:
"Alcoholism is a primary chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, mostly denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic."
If you see these symptoms in yourself, a family member, or friend, please contact Westview at 276-5690.

Claimers can become winners
The backbone of the horse-racing industry is claiming races, events from which any licensed owner can buy — at a preset price — any horse that starts a race.
The previous owner gets the money earned in the race along with the purchase price, usually from $4,000 to $40,000. The new owner gets the horse, whether it finishes first, last or not at all.
Picking ponies to claim is not an exact science, but the training brothers of Ralph and Randy Martinez — under the watchful eyes of their father, Raul — have been plenty successful for Missourian Louis D. O'Brien, the nation's leading owner in wins in 2007.
The Martinezes' two best examples have both raced at Ellis Park, with Qsar winning his second consecutive event on Thursday and Raving Rocket now 1-for-2 at the track, with a second-place finish on July 11 ending an 11-race win streak that had stretched 18 months.
"This is the fun part, when you get good ones like these," Randy Martinez said after Raving Rocket bounced back to win a starter allowance at Ellis on July 19. "These make up for all of those that you spend $4,000 for and don't make much back."
Raving Rocket has done his share to profit from his connections. The 6-year-old gelding has earned nearly $90,000 since being claimed for $4,000 at Fairmount Park.
The previous trainer didn't want to lose him.
"They had wrapped a sponge around his leg, to make it look like he had a problem," said Martinez. "When I got back to the barn, the groom told me that he had bowed (injuring the leg). I wasn't happy, but then he said he 'had bowed,' and showed me the sponge."
Raving Rocket finished fourth in his first start for the Martinezes, then was moved to starter allowance company, where he can't be claimed.
Since then, the horse has won 12 of 13.
"He got the lead in that first race at Ellis, and it looked like it was going to be 12 in a row," said Martinez. "But he was beat at the wire (by three-quarters of a length).
"And, believe me, the horse was mad when he lost."
Qsar, bred in Germany, won three stakes races there before being shipped to California as a 3-year-old. He won an allowance but finished back in a pair of high-dollar stakes, then was sent to the breeding shed with injuries in 2005.
Unsuccessful at that, he was gelded and brought back to the races at Indiana Downs in May. The Martinezes claimed him for $4,000 off an eighth-place finish — "Kim Hammond (the trainer who lost Qsar) wasn't happy," Randy said.
He finished fourth in his first start for the Martinezes on a dirt surface, then moved to turf and won a $6,250 claimer at Indiana Downs, then a $10,000 claimer at Ellis on July 16. Add in Thursday's win, in a $9,900 starter allowance that he dominated by 41/2 lengths under jockey Orlando Mojica, and he has earned $18,400.
"We thought they messed up putting him in for $4,000, simply because of the potential he showed way back when," said Martinez. "For that amount, it's worth it to take a chance on horses, because you're not out a lot if they don't pan out and you're up a lot if they do."

Try this: Watch "The Breakfast Club," think about how much you have to do this week and then consider the last time you spent eight uninterrupted hours with a stranger and emerged the better for it? Maybe it's by definition a rare occurrence. Or it only happens when we are young and open to it. Or it happens against our will, like when we're stranded at an airport. Or maybe uninterrupted time in another's presence, even for the young, the willing or the stranded feels as anachronistic in 2015 as Principal Vernon's sharkskin suit.
In honor of its 30th birthday this spring, I wrote about The Breakfast Club and uninterrupted time for Salon.

PAWTUCKET (AP) ŌĆö Toy maker Hasbro on Tuesday laid off 55 employees in Rhode Island, part of a larger downsizing that comes just months after announcing an expansion into Providence, company officials said.
Company spokesman Wayne Charness said in a statement that about 170 workers are being laid off worldwide because of the ŌĆ£underperformanceŌĆØ in Hasbro's U.S. and Canadian divisions, which are under new leadership. He also cited the company's need for ŌĆ£different skill setsŌĆØ in its workforce.
The layoffs will affect workers in Pawtucket and Providence.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Pawtucket City Hall employees and members of the local community helped make a dent in the Winter Food Drive being coordinated by Progreso Latino and the Cesar Chavez Scholarship Fund to benefit residents of Central Falls, Pawtucket and Cumberland.
On Tuesday, Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien and Douglas Hadden, his director of constituent services and communications, delivered three large boxes of donated canned goods and other food items to the Salvation Army.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Several concerned residents have raised questions about recent tree clearing and bulldozing that has taken place in the private Walnut Hill Cemetery, yet the property owner claims the efforts are part of a planned restoration project.
Ken Postle, Bill Greenwood and Charles Mogayzel, all of whom have been involved in cemetery preservation and beautification efforts in the city, say they are concerned about what they have seen taking place in a rear section of Walnut Hill Cemetery that runs along Arthur Street.
Jan M. McIntyre-Ba joined the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, a Masonic youth service organization, when she was 12 years old.
Her mother, Frances, had also been a Rainbow Girl, and her grandfather was a Mason, so Freemasonry, the oldest fraternal organization in the world, was something she was intimately familiar with even at a young age.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Two conflicting bills -- one that would put a cap on the amount Cumberland fire districts can increase their tax levy and another that would allow the Cumberland Hill Fire District to implement a four-tier tax classification program ŌĆō were heard by the House Municipal Government Committee Thursday.
EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö A state project to replace the Ten Mile River Bridges at the intersection of Broadway, Roger Williams Avenue, and Centre Street is under way, but members of the City Council say they want to see the $2.8 million project finished well ahead of the state's estimated completion date of November 2013.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö Movie and TV star James Woods appeared at the Statehouse Wednesday to testify in favor of a bill that would allow doctors and hospitals to express sympathy or acknowledge errors to patients and family members when medical treatment goes awry without it being held against them in later court actions.
EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö For 29 years, the city-owned Weaver House on Grove Avenue sat vacant, shuttered by the city in 1983 because of its age and need for major repairs.
"The 29 years the Weaver House sat dormant was a great loss to the city. Today, it's a beautifully restored building that is a vital part of the community once again," East Providence Mayor Bruce Rogers told a gathering of city and state officials Tuesday at a public open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the Weaver House restoration project.
LINCOLN ŌĆö A weekend break in a 20-inch water main had Old River Road closed to traffic Monday as work to repair the leak continued late into the night.
The affected line carries drinking water up from North Providence and supplies a standpipe in Manville but most local services could be rerouted, according to John Faile, town water superintendent.
As a result, only 3 to 4 homes were reported to be without water as the repair was under way Monday, Faile said.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The Ocean State now has a musical shrine to call its own. On Sunday night, a ribbon-cutting was held at the Hope Artiste Village at 999 Main Street to debut the new Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame.
Twenty years ago, Douglas E. Connell was helping restore a classic car for former Glocester Police Chief Jamie Hainsworth when he happened to notice Hainsworth wearing a ring with a curious symbol: a square and compass joined together with each leg of the compass pointing in opposite directions and the letter G in the center.
"It was a very distinctive ring that had this interesting emblem. It really caught my attention," says Connell, 63, of Woonsocket.
Pawtucket artist and garden designer Mike Bryce, whose studio is located at 1005 Main St., paints colorful tiles for his painted garden called "Serenity" - a Rhode Island day trip from historic Providence to the tranquil shores of Block Island, at the Rhode Island Spring Flower & Garden Show at the Convention Center in Providence Friday. The show runs through Sunday.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö In an effort to encourage reuse of more of the city's vacant mills or underutilized commercial buildings, the City Council is supporting legislation that would expand the ŌĆ£arts and entertainment districtŌĆØ that offers an exemption from sales tax on original works sold by individuals working in arts-related fields.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Speaking at a business development forum Thursday, Gov. Lincoln Chafee hinted that he might withdraw his proposed hike in the meals and beverage tax if new revenue forecasts due in May are high enough.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre hoping with those new revenue estimates we can work on the meals and beverage tax,ŌĆØ Chafee said. ŌĆ£LetŌĆÖs hope those May numbers continue the positive trend theyŌĆÖre on.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The City Council at its meeting of Feb. 8 approved several appointments, including that of renewing the terms of the municipal judge and associate municipal judge.
By a unanimous vote, the council elected former state Senator John M. McBurney to a three-year term as municipal judge and current Sen. Donna M. Nesslebush to a three-year term as associate municipal judge.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö How much of a pounding from trailer trucks can a 135-year-old bridge take? That's what City Councilors have been wanting to know. Yet the most recent assessment done by the state rates the span as safe and maintains the additional truck traffic is having little to no impact.
Heralding the 1663 Royal Charter for the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations as ŌĆ£one of the great human rights documents of the world,ŌĆØ Gov. Lincoln Chafee set the stage Tuesday for the celebration next year of the 350th anniversary of King Charles IIŌĆÖs grant to John Clarke and Roger Williams.
A history buff who frequently references Roger Williams, the stateŌĆÖs founder, and the charter in his speeches and Statehouse presentations, Chafee appointed a 34-member commission to organize a celebration for the sesquarcentennial, which will culminate on July 8, 2013.
Ann L. Hogan has always believed that not only should a person strive to achieve personal success in their own lives, they must go out and serve others. Service to others, she says, not only gives meaning to your own life, it makes life better for others.
ŌĆ£Service should be an element of everyone's life. People need to have that experience of giving to others,ŌĆØ says Hogan, 83, a retired school teacher from Pawtucket.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Common Cause Director John Marion, a government watchdog and frequent critic of the General Assembly, found himself standing with Gov. Chafee and legislative leaders at the Statehouse Thursday, hailing what he called ŌĆ£a big improvementŌĆØ in the stateŌĆÖs campaign finance laws.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō The pain started in her lower back and slowly migrated toward her ribcage.
Kristen Dubois thought she was passing a kidney stone.
She wasnŌĆÖt.
She was giving birth in the bathroom of her fianceŌĆÖs Willow Street apartment in Woonsocket.
ŌĆ£I was like, ŌĆśOh my God. I canŌĆÖt believe it,ŌĆØ says Dubois. ŌĆ£I started yelling for my boyfriend. ŌĆśHeŌĆÖs coming out! HeŌĆÖs coming out!ŌĆÖŌĆØ

Looking at a 1959 R50 tomorrow morning
So I got a lead on a 1959 R50 and am looking at it tomorrow morning. Are there any quirks to this model I should be on the lookout for? I'll report back with some details.
Geez, an OLD /2... Not much I can tell you. When I bought my '65 R60/2 it was pretty much done by feel, for the bike as well as the guy selling it. Expect that you WILL have to do a teardown to clean the oil slingers. (Otherwise the engine is a grenade, just waiting to seize, do you feel lucky?...) I'm assuming it's been off the road a while? No history? If it's not complete, it can get really expensive, and be an endurance test. Call Vech in Sturgis, MS if a specific question pops into your head. (Crap, I can't recall the name of his shop right now; (it's in vendor links on ibmwr.org)) My bike was right at the limit when I tore it apart for the slingers.
All that aside, she's a wonderful ride on back roads at a slower pace, (for today's world). Open face lid, wife along on her scooter, checking out the horse pastures... Takes you back to when you were a kid, just out to see what you could see. They're great bikes, good luck.
1959 r50/2
Well, here's a picture. It has 94K and has not run in 10 years. It is currenlty stored in a nice garage. It has a dent in the tank and the tail light is missing. The current owner belives the previous owner tried to convert it to a 12 volt system and it has a huge ugly regulator bolted to the right side of the frame. I also noticed that is must have been setup with a sidecar at one time because the sidecar lugs are still on the frame. He wants $2400.00 for it.
So, how big of a money pit am I looking at? Opinions? What is it worth in running condition? Restored condition?
If that bike has clean paperwork, numbers match, and has not been bodged beyond repair I would buy it at that price.
Questions answered here:
slash2@yahoogroups. com this is the /2 yahoo group
unfortunately only you can determine how much of a money pit it will be.
$2400 is a good price for a bike that clean.
Over here that price would be a bargain. It proves the seller is ignorant. Try to talk a few hundred off, but by it anyway.
Yes, a sidecar was fitted, the swing arm is still mounted in the holes for short trail.
Didn't single cam /2's start with the '60 or '61 model year? I thought all the single cam fifties twins were /3's?
/3 twins stopped in 1954, this bike is not a /2, it is a R-50. the /2 started when an extra gusset was added to the frame in front of the swingarm. there are a few subtle differences between the first series and the /2 series. the twin cam motor stopped with the 1950 R-51/2. The bike looks clean and is well worth 2500. set the front fork in the solo position before riding without a sidecar. GET THE SLINGERS DONE, they are your oil filter. Get the books and talk to vintage BMW guys. good luck, they are great bikes.
Educate me on the slingers. How involved is that.
The bike looks clean. (is the front fender on backwards?) I wouldn't hesitate to buy that for $2400. Any less is just icing on the cake.
From what I understand, all bikes up through 1969 (up to, but not including, the /5) had sidecar lugs on the frame, whether or not one was actually mounted.
As previously mentioned an engine tear down at this point would be in you're best interest because of the lack of mechanical history. I just started the same evaluation with one that I bought this past summer and the biggest thing is doing the slingers hence the tear down. Having said that you might as well go through the engine and trans to make sure you have they are mechanically healthy to insure you'll have years of mostly trouble free riding. Budget about 2500. more or less for the engine rebuild and since the trans is less complicated than the later airheads your budget should be 600-700 for a rebuild depending where you take it. My recommendation would be to talk "Vech" at Bench Mark Works for further advice 662-465-6444.
