Can you trust your internet browser with your passwords? Can people easily discover your passwords? When people store passwords and personal information in their phones, others can pinpoint their location and potentially cause harm. According to Adam Levin, a smartphone expert, "40 percent of smartphone users do not secure their phones with any type of entry password." If a phone is lost or stolen, anyone can gain access to all information and accounts.

Trying his best to stay focused, Jones zeroes in on the man pulling the strings: the company CEO, Commander Henry Van Horn. The team soon sets up a wiretap on the aggressive commander. But when they learn that Van Horn has had Jimmy kidnapped, the team must infiltrate the security firm before Jones's old friend is the next to be silenced in the cover-up.

So. DH and I were in town for lunch Saturday and after lunch I suggested that we walk through the Animal Shelter just to see the new facility and check out the dogs.
After getting the evil eye and the "We are NOT getting a dog right now" talk, we went in "just to look".
Guess who took one look at my husband and melted his heart ... only to seal the deal when we took him outside and he became a FETCHING FOOL.
Meet "Hank" ... or more formally: Hank E. Pankee:
Coming home in dad's truck
Checkin' out my grumpy big sister
Gettin' that duck! (squeek toy)
Fetchin the duck.
Showin daddy some love
He goes back on the 16th for neuter, RV, microchip ...
Welcome home, Hank. Welcome home.

The one constant in airline scheduling is change. And as with most things in life, the people who can use change to their advantage will always come out ahead. But why do airlines change their schedules so often, and how can award travelers adapt and thrive in this environment?
How airlines change their schedules
Most airlines roll out new schedules approximately 330 days in advance. Each night, at midnight at the carrier's headquarters, the computers release a new day on the schedule. But really, that schedule is just an educated guess. For the next 11 months the people and computers behind these schedules will continue to adjust times, add and remove flights, and change the type of aircraft servicing the flight.
The exception is Southwest airlines which releases their schedules about 6-9 months out in blocks. After that, their schedules remain constant.
How airline changes affect travelers
Ideally, the airline would notify travelers whenever a schedule change affects one of their upcoming reservations. But unfortunately, that often doesn't happen. Therefore, travelers should always check their bookings online every month or so to find schedule changes.
And when a change comes up, travelers should use that to their full advantage. First, airlines will ask passengers to accept a new itinerary. Do not do that. Contact the airline and see if a better itinerary is available. Perhaps there are flight times that are more convenient to you, or a routing that is more direct or has fewer stops.
Even if the preferred itinerary was not or is not available for award redemptions, airlines can release award seats to re-accommodate passengers that have been affected by schedule changes. And if the schedule change is significant, and you don't like any of the alternatives, you can always ask to cancel your flights have your miles and money refunded to you, free of charge.
But even if you already have the flights you want, do not confirm the schedule change. Leave the issue unsettled for as long as possible. In this way, you will still get your free schedule change at a later date, should anything come up that requires it. Perhaps your plans will change, perhaps you will get sick, or maybe, the airlines will change their schedules once again and an even better flight will appear.
Knowing that these changes can and will happen with great regularity, sophisticated travelers will book whatever award flights they can find, with the maximum number of short connections, knowing that at the first sign of a schedule change, they will have the chance to get the best itinerary available.

I used to get haircuts once every month or so for around $20 a pop, which can really add up over the course of one's life. One day I finally drew the line, bought a buzzer and started cutting my own hair and, after a little practice, my friends' hair too.
Here's a video with the condensed info. Read on for the full details.
Step 1: Assemble Your Materials
Get a buzzer. Buzzer's from Wahl and Conair are really cheap if you look for them online. I got a buzzer with all the fixings from Amazon.com for $25.
Find something slick to make a gown out of. We used a piece of kite material because it was so slippery that the hair just slid right off.
Step 2: Put a Gown on the Subject
Step 3: Start Buzzing at the Top
Turn on the buzzer and slowly move from the front of the persons' head to the back. Be careful not to move to quickly as you'll catch their hair in the buzzer and give them a nasty tug.
Make consecutive passes from one side of their head to the other until you've got the whole top cut nice and short.
I would so let you cut my hair
"It will grow back!"

Seventy-eight percent of American Jews voted for Obama. So how's he doing after nearly nine months of beating up on Israel, cowering from a confrontation with Iran, and telling Jewish leaders (with a large measure of disdain) that they should go engage in some self-reflection on the Israeli-Palestinian question? Well, his poll numbers are not stellar among American Jews–but not as bad as you might expect given his conduct.
The highlights: Fifty-four percent still approve of Obama's handling of relations with Israel. But 51 percent disagree with Obama's call for a settlement freeze. (Yes, the two items seem contradictory, but we'll get to that. This isn't about logic.) Fifty-one percent don't think Israel should compromise on the final status of Jerusalem. Also notable is the fact that American Jews are gloomy about the outlook for peace: 75 percent think the goal of the Arab states is the destruction of Israel rather than the return of occupied territories, and by a 51 percent to 43 percent margin, American Jews don't think there will be a time when Israel will live in peace with its neighbors.
As for Iran, American Jews approve of Obama's performance by a 49-35 percent margin. Fifty-six percent support an American military action, while 66 percent would support an Israeli action. In 2008, American Jews opposed military action by a 47-42 percent margin.
The most sobering numbers may be these: 41 percent feel fairly close to Israel, 22 percent very close, and 30 percent fairly or very distant from Israel.
From the executive summary, we learn:
Among age segments, AJC found little distinction in approval of the Obama Administration's handling of U.S.-Israel relations, with 54 percent of those under 40; 57 percent aged 40-59; and 49 percent over 60 expressing approval.
On the other hand, denominational affiliation appears to be a key factor in determining attitudes. While majorities of Conservative (54 percent) and Reform Jews (59 percent) approve, only 14 percent of Orthodox Jews approve of the Obama Administration's handling of U.S.-Israel relations. . . .
The AJC survey found that a majority, 51 percent of U.S. Jews, disagree with the Obama Administration's call for a stop to all new Israeli settlement construction, while 41 percent agree with that tactic.
Disapproval is fairly consistent among age segments — 49 percent of those under 40 disapprove and 38 percent approve; 53 percent ages 40-59 disapprove and 42 percent approve; and 51 percent over 60 disapprove, while 41 percent approve. Among the denominations, 74 percent of Orthodox, 62 percent of Conservative, and 46 percent of Reform Jews disapprove of the call for a full settlement freeze. In contrast, 21 percent of Orthodox, 33 percent of Conservative and 45 percent of Reform approve.
What to make of all this? Well, sadly it provides further support for the thesis of Norman Podhoretz's book Why Are Jew Liberals? It seems there is virtually nothing Obama could do to offend a significant segment of the American Jewry. Even if a majority of American Jews disapprove of the main focus of Obama's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to date –the effort to foist a settlement freeze on Israel–they still feel compelled to effectively "vote" for him by indicating approval for his Israel policy. It isn't rational. But then the "Torah of liberalism," as Podhoretz describes the substitution of liberal faith for religious faith, is not grounded in reason.
And as Podhoretz also argued, the more religiously observant the respondent, the less likely he/she is to support Obama. (Those Jews have no need for the Torah of liberalism; they are quite attached to the original one.) These Jews have soured on Obama, apparently clear-eyed in their assessment of his stance toward Israel.
But there is something else quite alarming here. If 30 percent of those Jews surveyed feel very or fairly distant from Israel, then Obama's anti-Israel stance and his desire to put "daylight" between the U.S. and Israel may line up quite well with their own views. In a sense, these Jews don't care much about Israel, so they aren't much bothered if Obama doesn't either. And, more importantly, it is further evidence for the proposition that pro-Israel Jews who want additional support for their cause should consider being less dismissive of evangelical Christians who have unbridled affection for Israel. (I suspect that the percentage of evangelical Christians who feel fairly or very distant from Israel is less than 30 percent.)
Whether Obama's support among American Jews will hold even at current levels remains to be seen. It seems Jews are increasingly supportive of military action against Iran, oppose a settlement freeze, and are quite skeptical about the "peace process." Logic would tell us that if Obama acts in ways contrary to these views, that support will erode. But maybe not–this isn't about logic for many Jews who will find some reason to justify their continued fidelity to the most liberal president we have ever elected. And for the disturbingly large segment of Jews whose affection for Israel is minimal, their focus will continue to center almost exclusively on Obama's ultra-liberal domestic agenda. For them Obama's unwillingness to promote a robust U.S.-Israeli relationship and deal forthrightly with an existential threat to Israel isn't all that relevant.
So it may turn out that there is not much–short of renouncing his ultra-liberal domestic agenda–that Obama might do to lose the support of a significant percentage of American Jews.

Friday, November 22, 2013
More than two dozen residents of the King's Grant subdivision attended a public hearing at the Dorchester County Council meeting Monday night to oppose the potential sale of county property in the neighborhood.
During the hearing, nine people (mostly from the community's homeowners association) spoke regarding the site of the former King's Grant Wastewater Treatment Plant. The council has been negotiating a contract for the sale of the property with Larry and Tammy Curtis for $195,000 since its Oct. 25 special called meeting.
Councilman Larry Hargett has lived in the King's Grant subdivision for 32 years and abstained in the Oct. 25 vote.
He did vote in favor of postponing approving the proposed contract until the Dec. 2 council meeting with the rest of council; Monday's vote was unanimous.
The vote came after listening to multiple public comments from residents of King's Grant and the buyers' realtor.
The public hearing was unusual, not because the King's Grant residents didn't want the county to sell the property, but rather because they wanted the county to accept their lower bid on the property rather than the Curtis'.
"King's Grant is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Summerville and we're concerned about keeping it stable. We want to appeal to young families and we could use that lot for other benefits," said Danny Perry, the HOA treasurer.
The 1.2 acre property neighbors the HOA's recreation area that includes a playground, marina, walking trails and ball fields. If they acquired the land, the HOA said they would continue to expand on these community amenities, such as adding boat storage, marina parking and more play areas for children.
"Coming from a mother of five kids, I've waited a long time for these amenities to come back," said Kimberly Thompson of Lancer Drive. "It's not fair to the children of this neighborhood, and there are hundreds. We don't want a house in the middle of it. It's not fair to us and our children."
If they win the contract, the Curtis family plans to build a home on the property.
"It's not always about money," urged Perry. "If you bring the price down so we can buy it, you'd be making 500 homeowners happy or one set of homeowners very unhappy."
Dick Kopfmueller, an at-large HOA board member, echoed the same idea: "If you can consider the lesser sale you'd be doing this for 1,000 constituents."
Bambi Magraw, a Keller Williams Realtor with Charleston Dwelling, also spoke at the hearing, representing her clients, the potential buyers.
"The buyers are going through their due diligence," she said. "They have no intention of doing anything but improving the property."
The variety of testimony clearly gave councilmembers pause.
"Your presence here tonight has given me second thoughts," said Councilman George Bailey. "That tells me when the people speak maybe we should just listen."
Council Chairman Bill Hearn agreed to also reconsider the impending vote.
"I'm guilty, I haven't walked the land. … It's eye-opening to hear your plans for the property versus the perception that it was just sitting there with no way moving forward," he said.
Councilmen David Chinnis and Jay Byars disagreed though.
"My obligation is to my 22,000 other constituents, I have to ask them for permission first," Councilman Chinnis said. He noted accepting the HOA's bid would be a loss for taxpayers, who would benefit from the proceeds of the sale.
Councilman Byars continued: "If we open that Pandora's box and give you that heavily discounted rate, the question is how do we close it? I don't know."
Regardless of the conversation, Councilman Hargett admitted he "[is] not in favor of this contract and will vote against it."
Clearly representing a variety of opinions, the council unanimously voted to postpone approving the proposed contract and will bring the matter up again at its Dec. 2 meeting.

Below is the poem entitled kiss of sunshine which was written by poet
ROBERTS. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
I am a grand yellow flower
Feeling so forlorn
Jack Frost just nipped me
Now I am bent and torn
My head is flopping over
No strength in my stem
Need a little bit of sun
To warm the chill within
What's that I see above me
I am sure I saw the sun
Here I am, here I am, I shout
Kissing will be fun
I smile now as my head lifts
No longer bent that's good
Been kissed by the sun all day
No longer need plant food
What is my name I am asking
Lifting my sun kissed head to you
I am the pride of Wales
A smiling daffodil that's true.

Tuesday, June 26, 2001 - 1:45 p.m. EDT
Quigley: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I have two announcements this afternoon, and then we'll take your questions.
We will be closed tomorrow to allow all of our personnel to appropriately recognize our nation's Independence Day. And we invite you to remember, however, the more than 250,000 service members who will be deployed around the world to ensure we enjoy the freedoms earned by those who have served before us.
Today there are more than 102,000 soldiers deployed to such places as Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, and Southeast Asia. There are more than 39,000 sailors serving on 178 ships currently under way, serving in the Arabian Gulf and the South China and Red Seas, while 32,200 forward-deployed Marines serve in the Mediterranean, the Far East, and guard our embassies around the world. More than 87,000 airmen are participating in joint operations, such as Northern Watch and Joint Forge, and serve in such isolated places as Greenland and Iceland. Coast Guard men and women guard our shores here at home and assist in maritime operations around the world. So please spend a moment to consider those who help ensure our continued freedoms every day.
And second, today we welcome Mr. Tsugumasa Uchihata from Tokyo, Japan, to our press briefing. Mr. Uchihata is the deputy foreign news editor with the Sankei Shimbun newspaper in Japan and is visiting the United States as a U.S. government-sponsored guest of the International Visitor program administered by the State Department. Mr. Uchihata will be in the United States until July 28th, and we're honored to have him here today to attend our press briefing and afterwards discuss the organization and structure of our news desk in handling relations with the new media. Welcome to you, sir.
And with that, I'll take your questions. Charlie?
Q: Craig, could you fill us in on the whereabouts of the surveillance plane now?
Quigley: I'm sorry. Say it again?
Q: The whereabouts of the surveillance plane now and when it'll get back to Georgia.
Quigley: Well, I don't know where it is this moment, but I know it is en route. It departed China this morning at approximately 4:45 our time, Eastern Time, this morning, and was taking a route that took it through the Philippines and Hawaii. I believe it will stay for some period of time in Hawaii, for crew rest, I believe, and ultimately return to Marietta, Georgia, the Lockheed Martin facility there at Dobbins Air Force Base, Thursday or Friday of this week.
Q: Is there anything more you can tell us about the secretary's intentions regarding future military contacts with Chinese military, other than to say we review it on a case-by-case basis? Are there some things specifically that he has approved that you can talk about?
Quigley: I do not know if there are any recent things that he has approved. But the philosophical approach that he has put in place to approve them on case-by-case basis -- I believe his intentions are to keep that in place for the time being, at least.
Q: Sir, do you see any normal relations after what China did to the United States? Also, what happened -- can you forget?
Quigley: Well, I think that the incident was a difficult one for both nations to work through, certainly. But as we and other nations have shown again and again over the years, the reality of the fact is that China will remain a very powerful force in the world. The United States will as well.
There will be areas on which we will find agreement, and there will be areas on which we disagree in the years ahead. You're just going to have to work through those as time passes, on an individual and bilateral basis.
Q: Craig, our -- could you say our military-to-military ties, relations, exchanges, whatever, are likely to increase, now that the incident has been put by?
Quigley: Not necessarily. I don't think so. I don't think that is necessarily going to be a watershed event or a tie-breaker, if you will. I think it's always going to be looked at, for the foreseeable future, through the lens that Secretary Rumsfeld has put in place of what is it that -- if you take a look at a proposed mil-to-mil activity, is there a benefit here for the United States? Is there a benefit for both nations, for that matter? And is it roughly of reciprocal value? I mean, we've discussed that from here before.
But I think that will be the single most important litmus test, if you will, that will get applied to proposed mil-to-mil exchanges. Is it of comparable value to both countries, and is there a net gain, and does this somehow advance the relationship for the United States?
Q: Craig --
Quigley: Tom?
Q: Now that the plane is out of China, can you update the damage assessment and say whether you're thinking at all about your plans for the plane have been altered as a result of the, you know, what you saw on the ground there?
Quigley: I don't think that -- unless we have a very unpleasant surprise as engineers continue to look at the particulars of the damage and the current state of the airframe, the intention is to repair the airframe and return it to service; unless something we find that we haven't seen so far really says, "Whoa, wait minute, that's perhaps a bad engineering decision." But I think the current intention is to proceed and repair and return it to service.
However, the specific answer to your question, the Lockheed Martin folks are going to kind of have to take a look at the plane with a different set of eyes. Those on the ground at Hainan Island were looking at it from the perspective of safe and effective disassembly, safe crating of the components and whatnot, not necessarily looking at what I need to do to inspect every last element of the plane to make sure it's a sound decision to repair, and what do I need to do and what might be optional to do, and things of that sort. So you kind of look at the same components with a different set of eyes. But unless there is an unpleasant surprise waiting for the more detailed inspections, the intention would be to repair it and to return it to service.
Q: Two questions, Craig. Now that the plane is out, can you give us any information about what the crews found inside of the plane pertaining to the equipment that was there that was considered sensitive and which the crew apparently went through its destruction checklist on? And then secondly, akin to the military-to-military, what is currently the policy, and has it changed regarding any purchases by any military branch of any product whatsoever from China?
Quigley: I don't know as -- let me take the second part of it first. I don't know as if there are any changes in a policy in place to purchase Chinese components or anything of that nature. That already had a very specific process in place, that has been in place for a long time in the past, to make sure that there's quality inspections and fair pricing and whatnot of components that are foreign-manufactured and then inserted into American assemblies and subassemblies and the like. So I don't think that there is a factor in that.
So I don't think that there is a factor in that.
On the first part of your question, on the damage assessment, we have put together an interagency team to assess potential damage to U.S. national security, what might have been compromised, what pieces of equipment might need to be modified, what procedures might need to be modified because of that. But that is still very much a work in progress. It will not be done until this summer sometime. The folks have not -- have been pretty scrupulous to not put a specific time frame on themselves. They'll certainly take the information that was gained when you had U.S. personnel allowed access back into the EP-3 as it was sitting on the ground at Hainan and incorporate that into your overall damage assessment.
I don't know how much of that -- we would strive very hard to be able to share with you as much of that as we can. I don't know where that path will lead us in the extent of how much of the information will remain classified and how much would be unclassified and that we could share publicly. I don't know.
Q: Was all the equipment that was on the plane, inside the plane, returned to the United States?
Quigley: I don't know.
Q: What's your ballpark on what the operation has cost up to now to go in, do the assessments, take it apart and haul it out of there?
Quigley: Well, the contract that was let to Lockheed Martin as the overall prime was not to exceed $5.8 million. And that was the most recent assessment in the disassembly and movement of the components back to the United States.
Q: (Off mike) -- within that, you think?
Quigley: Yes. Yes. Now, how much of that, the various subcontracts that were let by Lockheed Martin, I don't have that level of detail, John. But Lockheed Martin will stay within the 5.8.
Q: Do you still have unpaid bills from our friends, the Chinese, for food, housing, damage to runways, any other interesting claims that they may have made?
Quigley: Well, I certainly wouldn't rule that out. I think that is still yet to be seen. We have said from the beginning that we would be willing to pay the fair value of services provided, entering into local contracts for food, ground transportation, drinking water, ancillary tools and things of that sort.
Q: Did you pay anything up front to the Chinese prior to --
Quigley: Not that I know of. Now, there were agreements entered into up front with local Chinese contracting firms, but it was more or less an open-ended thing because you didn't know exactly how long you were going to stay and therefore how much food you would eat, and things of that sort.
Q: What would be the estimate to put this plane back together as a flyable entity -- a ballpark figure?
Quigley: I have not seen a firm figure on that. I don't know that Lockheed Martin is prepared yet to give a firm estimate. It would be a ballpark, and they'll be working that in more detail in the weeks ahead, I suspect.
Q: Has China assessed any charges for the period of detention or of runway charges for the plane?
Quigley: Not that I have seen yet. They could have passed those through diplomatic channels, but not that I have seen yet.
Q: What is the status of those talks that were supposed to take place to establish ground levels regarding --
Quigley: We have yet to -- I asked that question before the brief today, as a matter of fact, and we have yet to get a response back. We have made a proposal to the Chinese government, and we have not yet got a response back to our proposal.
Q: And have --
Quigley: So it's kind of at a standstill until we hear back from them.
Q: Have the Chinese interfered, intercepted, or in any way communicated with any subsequent surveillance flight since the EP-3 accident?
Quigley: We're very confident that they have been aware of any of our strategic reconnaissance efforts in that area over a period of many weeks and months, but nothing that has been obtrusive or dangerous has occurred, no.
Q: Is it -- does the U.S. conduct those surveillance flights any differently in terms of giving any kind of overt heads-up to the Chinese that you're on the way, or is it business as usual as far as the U.S. is concerned?
Quigley: No, no -- yes, choice two: no change in the procedures over time.
Q: Would you consider the EP-3 flight that collided with the F-8 -- was that -- (inaudible) -- our dangerous flight or --
Quigley: Oh, certainly. I mean, we consider --
Q: No, no, no, not the collision -- of course that was -- but what the EP-3 was doing up until then. You said --
Quigley: Flying in international airspace?
Q: Right.
Quigley: I do not consider that obtrusive or intrusionary at all. My interpretation of Mik's question -- and maybe I got it wrong, Mik -- was, did we consider any dangerous flight activity on the part of Chinese aircraft to come up and take a look at our reconnaissance and surveillance planes, and the answer is no.
Q: So we haven't changed the way we fly those kind of missions?
Quigley: Fundamentally, no. No two are exactly the same. But fundamentally, no.
Yes, sir?
Q: Switch gears, sir. Can you give me any kind of update on the situation on Okinawa and the arrest warrant issued for an airman there?
Quigley: Mm-hmm. We checked, and it is not -- the situation on the ground has not changed much in the last several hours. We very much regret the incident and are working closely with the Japanese authorities there, governmental authorities, legal authorities. But no final decisions have yet been made.
Q: Okay. What is the status of the airman himself?
Is he in custody? Is he under arrest?
Quigley: He is in custody at Kadena Air Base there in Okinawa.
Q: He's not under arrest?
Quigley: No.
Q: Okay. Can you confirm his -- are you releasing his name or rank?
Quigley: No. We are saying that he is a staff sergeant, a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, but we are not releasing his name, as no charges have been filed.
Q: One of the questions that have come out of this is that the original allegations was this woman was approached by a group of possibly American service members and that they fled, but this one person committed the crime itself. Do you know if any investigation or any action is being taken against other service members who may have been there, or do you know if any other service members were there? Is that an untrue statement that came out before?
Quigley: All the issues and the questions you just raised are all very much a part of the ongoing investigative efforts, and we are working closely with the Japanese authority to try to sort that out, but that's still a work in progress.
Q: And what's the status of the negotiations on this?
Quigley: Basically, as I indicated before, is no final decisions have been made on our part.
Q: Can you help us with the rules of the road as to what happens when an American serviceman gets involved with Japanese law? There are certain things that the U.S. does not allow the Japanese to do, like take someone into custody in a case like this until they have issued a formal indictment.
Quigley: Correct. No pre-indictment.
Q: And why is that?
Quigley: It's a part of the standing status of forces agreement, or SOFA, as it's commonly referred to. Each of our -- we have status of forces agreements with a variety of nations around the world. Each and every time, they are a bilateral agreement; no two are alike. They take into consideration the concerns of the U.S. government and the U.S. military in conjunction with local laws and customs and cultural differences between the United States and the country concerned. So we have one with Japan. We have had for many years. It is different from every other nation's, and it is very specific in its description of who has custody -- for instance, in elements of crimes or suspected crimes -- who has custody, under what circumstances, how would custody be handed over from one party to another, and each is unique in its construction.
Q: Is it true that if an American serviceman is taken into custody in Japan that, number one, they are not allowed a translator and not allowed to talk to a defense attorney during the early stages of their arrest?
Quigley: It is my understanding that that is typically true, John, yes.
Q: But that wasn't the case here, as I understand it. He was on base when the Air Force -- or the local military authority was approached to speak to him?
Quigley: Well, if I understood John's question correctly, it's more along the lines if the Japanese authorities have custody of a U.S. servicemember, and that's not the case here. The allegation of the crime was to have taken place off of military installation property. This was a private facility, area, public facility. And the suspect is -- never has been in the custody of the Japanese law enforcement officials.
Q: He's been questioned by them several times, right?
Quigley: Yes.
Q: In normal circumstances, when an American serviceman is finally indicted and charged, what happens? Is that still a decision that the U.S. has to make, or do you always turn him over?
Quigley: Ultimately, it's a very deliberate decision made by the government of the United States to turn over an American citizen to a foreign -- in this case Japanese -- legal authority. So it's a very deliberate process that's entered into each and every time, and that is the ongoing review that's going on right now.
Q: And what are the considerations once the indictment has been made that determine that decision?
Quigley: You would look carefully to the terms of the SOFA. You would enter into continued discussions with the Japanese government as to how you might ascertain the continued conditions under which the individual would be held and questions and details of that sort.
Q: Are there things, for example, the United States government would require that he have, such as a translator, a defense attorney, et cetera, before you would turn him over?
Quigley: Well, these are all the details that are under discussions right now.
Q: I mean, those are the kinds of things.
Quigley: Generally speaking, yes.
Q: Now, are there discussions between -- with Japanese authorities over these kinds of things?
Quigley: On a regular basis in a variety of instances, yes.
Q: This gentleman has been --
Quigley: Yes, sir?
Q: According to Japanese sources, the U.S. government will inform the Japanese government to agree to hand over the sergeant this afternoon. Can you confirm this?
Quigley: No, I can't. I have no indication that that's true at all. I have no time frame to attach to it, nor a final decision.
Q: Would our government turn this man over without an indictment? As far as I know, there's not one. And as I'm told, there's only been one other case where a serviceman has been turned over without a formal indictment.
Quigley: Well, the best answer I can give you at this point is no final decision's been made.
There are many issues involved here. We've got to weigh them carefully. And no final decision has been made.
Q: Has a U.S. service member been turned over to the Japanese government without a formal indictment in the past?
Q: The local town council of (inaudible) is requesting the midnight -- the night-time curfew and not to drink the alcohol beverages for the U.S. servicemen. How do you respond to that request?
Quigley: I'm not aware of that level of detail here in Washington. I'm sorry. I don't know that level of detail.
Q: (Off mike) -- about damaging the U.S. presence in Okinawa?
Quigley: Say that again; I'm sorry?
Q: How can the Pentagon avoid damaging the U.S. presence in Okinawa?
Quigley: The U.S. military presence in Okinawa is an issue that needs constant attention on the part of our senior leadership there on the ground, military leadership, as well as political representation of the United States government. The relationship, the security relationship that we have with Japan is very important to us. It is central to the security arrangements that we have in that part of Asia. And it's very important. By the same token, we have a great deal of concern for the individual service members' rights and we care about the men and women that wear the uniform of the United States.
So that is why such great care goes into the crafting of the Status of Forces Agreements with a variety of nations around the world. And the circumstances surrounding issues that pertain to the SOFA never seem to be easy ones, or if they are, they're handled very quickly at a local level. It's the ones that deserve a higher level of attention that are really difficult to work through, these are the ones that we want to take our time and make sure we get it right the first time.
Q: Are you considering some extra measures to -- you know, so that such cases never happen again, extra measures?
Quigley: We constantly stress to the men and women that are American military members on Okinawa that their conduct is of paramount importance both to the relationship locally there on Okinawa with the people of Okinawa and also on a government-to-government basis. Every time that there is misconduct on the part of an American service member, it is an issue that is taken very seriously both by the local U.S. military leadership as well as by the local political leadership there in Okinawa. And it's something that receives a great deal of attention at the highest levels of both governments.
You're dealing with human beings. There are going to be errors in judgment made over time for a variety of reasons. Every time that happens, it's painful and it's a difficult period to work through. But you just work through it because the relationship is so important to both of our countries.
Q: Have any activities on any of the military bases changed as a result of this? Have you gone through any time restrictions or curfews or anything?
Quigley: No, not that I know of. Not that I have heard discussed, no.
Q: How about protests of security concerns?
Quigley: Again, not that I have heard from here, no.
Q: Going back to the beginning, in the early reports of this incident, there were supposed to be several American servicemen involved, and then other accounts later were that in fact although other servicemen have been questioned, they in fact may have intervened to stop the alleged conduct. Do you have any clarity on that?
Quigley: Not at all. I mean, these are the sorts of issues that need to be sorted out by the professional investigators there on the ground, talking to a variety of witnesses that would hopefully have been present and able to observe what actually happened. This is classic law enforcement, to sort out what happened from what didn't happen, where is fact, where is rumor. I do not think that they have arrived at that point yet.
Q: Would other American servicemen be obligated to serve as witnesses in a Japanese trial, if one took place?
Quigley: We would always ask the individuals who have something positive in the sense of firsthand knowledge to contribute to finding ground truth as the investigation proceeds.
Q: Different subject?
Quigley: Sure.
Q: You had a number of visitors here in the building. One was, I believe, a -- (inaudible word) -- leader from India, Sonia Gandhi, then there was a Mr. Brajesh Mishra here, and also the foreign minister of Pakistan. So what they discussed here? Like India's Brajesh Mishra met with Secretary Rumsfeld, and the foreign minister of Pakistan met with some other high-level officials. So what they discussed, including this upcoming summit between India and Pakistan?
Quigley: I don't know the specifics of --
Q: General Shelton's visit to India?
Quigley: I don't know the specifics of what was discussed, except that as a general rule, the matters discussed pertained to the particulars of the relationship between the United States and the senior defense official representing the other nation that's visiting. So they tend to be very focused, either on the bilateral issues between the U.S. and the other country, or certainly regional issues that apply to both nations.
Q: Any idea when General Shelton is visiting India?
Quigley: We have made no announcement on his visit yet, although he has said that he will reschedule it, but we have not made an announcement of that yet.
Q: Yes, has OSD finally submitted the draft legislation to Congress to amend last year's defense authorization bill on Vieques?
Quigley: I don't know. Let me take that. We'll get back to you. [Update: No.]
Q: And there are preliminary results of the investigation on the Udairi, Kuwait range. And among the preliminary results, is there any linkage to the fact that the Truman battle group had not trained with live fire in Vieques?
Quigley: Not that I had seen is any element of that. But I don't think there's -- I think we're past preliminary on the actions from the Udairi accident. I think the services have taken the final action to the -- with the personnel involved.
Q: And there's no --
Quigley: I don't think it's preliminary. I think it's final.
Q: But is there any linkage to Vieques at this point?
Quigley: I have not seen any linkage to the type or quantity or quality of training as being a cause of the accident. I have not seen that.
Q: A different subject: Has any final decision been made on terminating DOD's support for peacekeeping training in Africa?
Quigley: No. No. You always take a look, constantly -- what am I doing? Am I doing it for the right reasons? What is the effect of the training that I am providing, whether it's training, whether it's equipment, advice, or something of that sort?
But it's our view that the -- and your answer could change over time. But it's our view that at the moment we are providing equipment and training to nations who are willingly contributing to a peacekeeping process in Africa. These are African nations that are willingly asking for our help to train soldiers and equip -- some uniforms and some items of equipment -- to help keep the peace on their continent. And we think if we can make a contribution in that regard, it's a good thing.
Q: But that could change tomorrow?
Quigley: You always assess how you're doing. If the process somehow is seen to be counterproductive or less productive than we would hope, certainly we reserve the judgment to make changes. But at this point, I mean, we vet the individuals that receive the training. There's a great deal of emphasis not only on professional military skills, but also on democratic, civilian control of the military; humanitarian sorts of efforts; professionalism within the battalions that are being trained to perform the duties there in Africa. We think the units, when we're done with them, are more professional and better qualified to carry out the missions they're assigned. And we see things going in the right direction, not the wrong direction.
Q: No complaints?
Quigley: No, no complaints. I won't say that.
Q: (Laughs.)
Quigley: It's never perfect, Alex. It's never perfect. You don't carry out a complex mission like this without bumps along the way. But the overarching goal, disregarding the bumps along the road, is that the battalions are more qualified and more professional and better able to carry out the peacekeeping duties that their nations sign them up to do when we're done than when we started. And by any yardstick, that's a plus.
Q: Fiscal '01 supplemental? We're in the third day of the fourth quarter. The Senate will act on the ninth or 10th day of the fourth quarter.
Does the department have in mind a date by which, if the thing isn't in hand, you'll have to start taking actions terminating scheduled activities in consideration of the Anti-Deficiency Act?
Quigley: If we had to, Pat, we could come up with a date to be responsive to your question. But we are very confident and assured by the senior leadership in both houses of the Congress and in both sides of the aisle that it will not come to that. And with a promise that the supplemental will be taken up among the very first issues, once the Congress reconvenes on the 9th of July -- if that all comes to pass, you won't have to do that.
Is somebody somewhere in the services doing "what if" questions? Probably. That's probably not a bad expenditure of time. But we don't think that it will come to that.
Q: Thank you.
Quigley: Hunter?
Q: Admiral, just to return to the P-3 issue quickly, the Navy budget was directed by OSD in the '02 bill to include funding for the conversion of one P-3 to an EP-3E configuration. This was funding that was not included or planned by the Navy initially, and they have now added that money into the program. Is this an indication that OSD is prepared to write off the P-3 from Hainan Island and just go ahead and convert one from the standing stock of P-3s and get on with it?
Quigley: No. It's an insurance policy. If the inspections of the damaged airframe, as we indicated before here this afternoon -- if we are met with an unpleasant surprise, and it just is damaged beyond the point that we think it is, then you have that planning wedge in the budget, so that you can take a P-3 from the boneyard and convert it into the EP-3 configuration.
If that's not the case, then we would probably seek reprogramming in the months ahead to change the direction of that money as not being needed, or possibly use it for the repairs of the EP-3. But it -- more than anything else, it is an insurance policy.
Q: Okay. Thank you.

Comments about Starbucks® Reusable Cup Sleeve - Leather Siren:
I get it's really cheap. I bought one in an actual store before but I lost it and it was really nice! So I came on here and saw one. I liked the look of this one a lot more than the other one . The leather look pulled me in. It doesn't completely keep your hand cool. I know sometimes I would put it over my drinks and my hands would still get hot. Just depends on how much you can handle! It still works though and it's only 4 dollars!
Comments about Starbucks® Reusable Cup Sleeve - Leather Siren:
I thought it was great! The product is listed as recycled, so I'm not sure why it was expected to be genuine leather. I love recycled products, personally. So if you're into the whole recycling thing, I'd definitely recommend this cup sleeve. If you like the more expensive sort of thing, then this is not your cup sleeve.
Comments about Starbucks® Reusable Cup Sleeve - Leather Siren:
What a disappointment! Remember when the word leather meant real leather?
I have been waiting for a couple years for Starbucks to come out with another leather cup sleeve. I purchased the original about 10 years ago - which was genuine full grain leather made by Mulholland - and carried it every day, even to many Starbucks locations around the globe. When it finally became too tired and worn looking, I contacted Starbucks and Mulholland leather to see if I could find a replacement. A couple weeks ago I found this sleeve available and immediately ordered three.
My anticipation crashed to the ground when I opened the box. These sleeves are made of ground up chards of what I suppose was once leather, held together with a stiff plastic substance. It's kind of like leather cardboard. Although it looks good in the picture, it feels cheap in your hand. Obviously I will be returning these and continue looking for a genuine leather sleeve. I noticed some available on Etsy.
Common Starbucks. What has happened to the quality products you once offered?

DRM Issues: Windows Expert Looking to Move to Linux
Security expert Jesper Johansson is planning to remove Windows Media Center from his computer and to install Linux MCE due to frustration with his former employer Microsoft's DRM software.
Prior to moving to Amazon in September 2006, Johansson was Senior Program Manager for security with Microsoft. He publicly vented his frustration with Windows Media Center in his blog referring to the "Blue Screen of DRM Death", or the death of Windows Media Center. Johansson's frustration was triggered by his attempts to get a cable network video system to run on the machine. Shortly after the movie launched, the image was replaced by a blue DRM screen. Several unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue followed, however, the machine kept on crashing after installing the Internet Explorer update for Microsoft DRM recommended by Microsoft. "Microsofts 'security update' caused a denial of service (DoS)", Johannson states. DRM fanatics made the Microsoft product completely useless, he writes. Johannson views Linux MCE as an alternative. Many users have reacted to his blog entry in the meantime, and shared their experiences with various systems, including MythTV on Ubuntu Linux. Surprised with the vehement responses, Johannson added that he had been satisfied with the Microsoft solution up to this point.

Recipe For Greek-Style Vegetable Kebabs With Orzo and Feta
Sunday BBQ: Greek-Style Vegetable Kebabs With Orzo
Take zucchini. Right now, this vegetable isn't just at its peak; it's also abundant and therefore affordable. Zucchini has a hint of an herbaceous flavor and a tender texture.
Make the most of its characteristics by dressing it lightly and charring it on a stick along with grilled eggplant and red bell pepper. For a straightforward Mediterranean supper, serve the kebabs atop orzo pasta, passing feta cheese around during the meal to sprinkle on top. For the recipe, read on.

Read Poems by
Daljit Khankhana
The growth is natural but the efforts have progress.
How professional a person is, intellect seems when a matter has discuss?
Physically or mentally, human has same level,
other matter, who is developed or miss.
Sex, anger, greed, affection or pride,
Natural factors, designing everyone's life,
How a mind sharp or a soul is kind?
Reserve nature or socialization has own business.
Everything has two pairs, parallel or oppose,
Up or down, left or right and dark or bright,
Everything is mortal that we care or careless.
Nobody can add or alter, how is strange?
A day or night or weather runs itself,
All natural things are free, me is really impress.
Crisis and disaster also a part of living,
Systematically works perfect that is feeble or strong,
Life has nothing to gain at last, everything is stress.
Life is natural who lives natural a person needs to decide,
A religion, creed, colour, gender or caste,
Criminality develops itself when a life is full of piss?

Southampton moved up to third in the Premier League with a thoroughly deserved 2-0 victory over hapless Fulham at St Mary's. Saturday Night Football saw Saints blow away the visitors in a high-tempo first half as Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez combined for a goal apiece to effectively end the game as a contest before the break.
Fulham could not cope with Southampton's much-praised pressing style and Darren Bent was left isolated in attack as the visitors failed to create a single opening. Here we use Opta data to highlight those points and more in an in-depth look at the match...
Mauricio Pochettino made two changes to the team that snatched a late draw at Manchester United last time out. Lambert replaced Dani Osvaldo in the lone striker role with James Ward-Prowse coming into the midfield in place of Steven Davis. Both Osvaldo and Davis were unavailable through injury and omitted from the squad.
That meant Southampton started in a 4-5-1 formation with Rodriguez and Adam Lallana playing in support of Lambert - interchanging to provide the width and ably supported by the full-back duo of Luke Shaw and Nathaniel Clyne.
Fulham made one enforced change from the starting line-up against Crystal Palace on Monday evening with Fernando Amorebieta replacing the injured Brede Hangeland, as he did during the game at Selhurst Park. This was the Venezuela international's fourth start for the club and his third in his preferred centre-back position.
Elsewhere, Bent and Dimitar Berbatov were paired in a loose 4-4-2 with the Bulgarian often dropping deep alongside Pajtim Kasami and Bryan Ruiz in the support roles. Steve Sidwell and Scott Parker were then asked to hold the midfield together against the Saints trio. "The aim is to not concede when you're away from home," Martin Jol told Sky Sports before the game.
Where it was won and lost
"The problem comes if Parker and Sidwell start losing the ball in their own half," said Jamie Redknapp in the Sky Sports studio in the build-up to kick-off. "If you try and play short passes in midfield against Southampton, you are playing into their hands. Then the crowd are up early on and you're under pressure." As it turned out, the game was won by the home side in the first half.
As early as the fifth minute, the problems facing Fulham were clearly flagged up. Maarten Stekelenburg attempted a short pass to Philippe Senderos but Lallana was onto the Swiss centre-back so quickly, robbing him of possession. The ball came out to Schneiderlin but his side-footed effort was cleared from near the goal-line.
"Their tempo is too much for Fulham," said Davie Provan on co-commentary, as the visitors' ageing team - an average of five years older than their opponents - struggled to deal with the Southampton press. That Senderos error was not an isolated incident. Fulham were dispossessed four times in their own half in the opening 45 minutes as Saints harried them mercilessly.
Even the defenders joined the attacks. Ruiz frequently allowed Shaw the freedom of the flank as he seemed content to expect Sidwell and Parker to deal with the threat. "Fulham have definitely got a problem on that side with the full-back getting beyond Ruiz," said Provan. Shaw's average position showed that he was the fourth most advanced Southampton player before the break and after 35 minutes he had created more chances from open play than any other player on the pitch.
While the home team succeeded in carving their opponents open, the breakthrough actually came from a set-piece. Parker's instructions for Berbatov to mark Lambert at the corner were swiftly forgotten as the England striker drifted away from the Fulham man's attentions and latched onto a Rodriguez flick-on to head past Sascha Riether on the line from close range.
While Berbatov failed to do his duties in defence, he offered little at the other end either. It was not until the 58th minute of the match that he supplied Bent with his second pass of the game. Indeed, Bent received the ball just four times in the first half an hour and one of those passes came from goalkeeper Stekelenburg. Southampton dominated the attempts at goal by 14 to nil, with Fulham failing to even create a chance. It is a damning statistic but not a misleading one.
Frustratingly for Fulham fans, despite their strikers' shared reputation for a languid approach to the game, it is difficult to see what more Bent and Berbatov could do without support. As Provan pointed out on the hour mark: "They are making an effort to close the ball down but if they're not being backed up then they're wasting their time."
Redknapp also highlighted the contrast at the interval. "We've seen one team playing off the cuff and another team that is so disciplined, with work-rate as good as I've seen from a Premier League team in a long time," he said. "They have smothered and strangled Fulham at every opportunity."
Despite boasting the best defence in the Premier League, Pochettino's side have actually struggled for fluency at times so far this season with the Lambert and Osvaldo partnership not always clicking. In the absence of the Italy international, Lambert looked to be back to his best - thriving with the space around him and attacking midfielders buzzing in support.
First he hit the post and then drew a save from Stekelenburg following a trademark move in which he drifted to the far post to head at goal on the diagonal. On that occasion, Lambert should have squared the ball for Rodriquez but he did not make the same mistake twice - setting up the Saints No.9 to head home from close range in the latter stages of the first half.
While Osvaldo is a player of undoubted quality, Southampton look a more effective proposition when the likes of Rodriguez and Lallana are free to burst forward in support and it was the hard-working efforts of the former Burnley player that caught the eye here. Pochettino has a decision to make regarding whether to return to the Lambert-Osvaldo partnership or opt to rotate his strikers in future.
It is, as they say, a nice problem to have - and one the Argentine coach can mull over from a position of strength. Jol's problems are both imminent and significant. Fulham look to be a team without a cohesive strategy. In essence, they are a broken team with six players providing a platform and four men doing their own thing in the hope of making something happen.
When it comes off, as it did so spectacularly against Crystal Palace on Monday evening, then Jol can sit back and take the plaudits. After a performance like this one, it felt like he was sending his players out onto the pitch without a plan. And against this Southampton side, that's a sure-fire way to guarantee a defeat right now.

Pochettino's view
"It's all about the players in the dressing room. They fully deserve all the plaudits today. They put in a great performance so I just want to congratulate them for an amazing effort today and in the training sessions. They always put in 100 per cent. It's not just about the win, it's about how the win was achieved - we played really good football. It's all about the collective work in recovering the ball to win possession back. When we lose possession we work like crazy to win the ball back."
Jol's view
"The only positive is that we kept it at 2-0 because in the first half it looked like it could be four or five. In the second half, the organisation and shape was a bit better but we couldn't play it through to Berbatov or to Bent down the flanks like we did against Crystal Palace. Southampton are very strong, athletic and aggressive. You have to match them and if you don't then you will lose these games. The most disappointing thing is that we didn't create anything ourselves."
Jamie's view
"I thought Southampton were fantastic. It's a European style of play with an English blend - there were six English players in that team. If they keep developing like that, one or two of those could be the future of English football. That's the type of football we see in the Champions League. As Gary Neville said on Monday Night Football, it's an exceptional team. Pochettino deserves a lot of credit because he's got a great work ethic with that team. He's got players playing football that some of them probably didn't think they were capable of playing. It's an exciting brand of football that's a real joy to watch."
Player ratings
"There's no secret," Rodriguez told Sky Sports after the game. "It's what we've worked on from day one. The training is extremely hard but the lads have taken to it and it's working for us. The gaffer works with us in the week and I don't think we're going to change anything. There's no limit to what we can achieve." The Southampton forward was the stand-out player as he set up the first and scored the second for his side in a hard-working performance that typified his team.

Cool Drinks, San Francisco: Raspberry Spritzer at Cowgirl Creamery Sidekick
When I first picked up my raspberry spritzer ($2.75) at Cowgirl Creamery Sidekick, I was worried by its pale, almost translucent pink color. I don't know what I was expecting, but there were probably pureed raspberries and tropical umbrellas involved. One sip quickly dispelled my fears, because this drink is not watery or lacking for flavor. In fact the raspberry syrup provides a strong, fruity flavor that tastes as much like real raspberries as a syrup can. More

The DZC Team
Because there existed a desire for a good coordinated translation for the dutch Zikula community, the DZC-team was created. The goals developed as the community grew, to give the highest possible service and support, for the community, and by the community.
The original name was oftened referred to as DTT, meaning Dutch Translation Team. When the need for more than just translation files grew, the name DPC (Dutch PostNuke Community) has been adopted for this website and community.
Now since june 2008 the project has adopted it's current name Zikula, including the release of a completely revised framework, this community followed this naming and is now called the DZC (Dutch Zikula Community)
The english abbrevation will allways remain, to show we are dealing with an international Content Management System with an english speaking community. Worldwide, all communities will know that this is the dutch community. Because, let's face it, how often do you see the name 'Nederlands', eh?
Who is who, and who does what? Below, you will find an overview. The subarticles (by clicking on the names) are dutch again... ;)

Draxyl from the Turalyon U.S. server submits to us his Warlock UI. It's actually very reminiscent of the UI that I had for quite some time until I upgraded my graphics card and started using a lot of alpha-blending (transparency). He uses Fubar across the top with several key pieces of information and quick to reach options, and then has the bottom of the screen filled with status indicators, chat, and action buttons.
I think it's a common theme amongst most UI enthusiasts to focus the information in one or two places. This has several benefits, from limiting eye movement when trying to pickup information, to allowing more space to see what's going on in the rest of the environment.
One thing that I don't like, and this is more of a personal taste than anything else, is the displaying of damage meters in the raid. While I think they can provide good information after the raid, having them on screen during a raid only encourages people to try to be at the top of them – and that usually means pulling agro from the tank. So again, while this is more of a personal taste, it is something that I raised my eyebrow at initially. But then again, Draxyl does do a good job at fitting the meters into the flow of the UI quite nicely.
Some of the major addons that Draxyl is using include:
- BigWigs - Raid and boss timers.
- Buffalo - Custom buff/debuff display.
- Bongos2 – Sets up many customizable action bars.
- eePanels2 - Frame helper.
- Eavesdrop - Real time combat information.
- Forte Warlock - Warlock raid/cooldown information.
- FuBar - Information bars at the bottom and/or top of your screen.
- Grid – Raid frames.
- Omen - Threat meter.
- PitBull - Unit frames.
- Prat - Chat modules.
- Quartz - Casting bars.
- Recount - Live combat log parsing.
- Skinner - Apply skins to the UI and the bottom / top of the screen.
- Squeenix - Square minimap.
- XRS - Raid status window.

Oceanside Boulevard Surf Spot
The Surf
Crowd and Culture
There are a lot of beaches
in Oceanside and with that comes a lot of surfers and even
though there are a lot of surfers trying to get waves, the
possibility of finding one of these sandbars going off is
very good! A lot of these breaks have very different types
of waves and every one of them can be fun in their own way.
Beach access as you come
down Oceanside Boulevard
Oceanside is the most
Northern point in San Diego to get into some surf. It is
located just South of Camp Pendleton and just North of
Carlsbad. Oceanside spans about 10 miles of coastline and
most of those miles have beach access easily located if
cruising the coast.
Click Here for Directions
The Parking Scenario:
Parking for the beach
access at Oceanside Blvd is located on the nearby streets
and alleys. During the Summer months, the parking on these
small streets can become very chaotic and crowded so I
recommend to save the time and just park a few blocks away
and walk, in the long run, it will save you some time and
Please take caution when
parking and make sure not to block somebody's driveway or to
get stuck parking in a Fire Lane. Police officers routinely
are in the area and will not hesitate to cite you for doing
so. Other then that, find a spot and hit the surf!
Street parking just South
of Oceanside Boulevard
*Please Note:
Oceanside has come a long way in the past few years but
these streets and beaches are not the place to leave a
vehicle unlocked or a surfboard alone on the beach. Theft
and vandalism is still around in these areas so be sure to
take caution of your surroundings and lock your stuff up!
Beach Accessibility and Conveniences:
The beach access is impossible to miss with it being directly
in front of Oceanside Boulevard. The path down to the beach is well
maintained and easy to walk down. There are no stairs or cliffs to hike down
which makes this beach very open to a day at the beach with the family.
The pathway down to the
There are no restrooms
located on the beach or directly near to the beach at
Oceanside Blvd so prepare for that situation. I found the
closest restrooms to be about two blocks away in a nearby
liquor store. It can be an inconvenience and if a restroom
is a must for the wife, girlfriend or family, head up to the
Pier where restrooms are plentiful. Although there is no
restroom located at Oceanside Boulevard, they have an
awesome shower that feels awesome after a long session of
The shower at Oceanside
There is a lifeguard tower
right on the path as you are walking down to the beach, in
fact you can see it in the above picture. These lifeguard
towers are open an operating all throughout the Summer
months but are only open occasionally in the Winter months.
Make sure to take note if
a lifeguard is manning the tower or not and take caution
either way. The waves at Oceanside can tend to be larger
then surrounding locations because the Oceanside beaches are
so open to different swell directions.

Winging It
Aug 10, 2009 12:00 PM, By Michael Goldman
Davis Guggenheim and team on the improvisational style for It Might Get Loud.
After directing Al Gore's environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth and Barack Obama's official biography film, A Mother's Promise, filmmaker Davis Guggenheim was plenty used to following famous people around and trying to get them to open up for his camera and microphones. When he came up with a rough concept to make a new film to pay homage to the electric guitar and to do it by spending intimate time with rock stars, however, he soon realized he was entering an entirely different world. For one thing, he had no idea how to structure his story or with whom to tell it, and for another, he desperately wanted to stay away from the traditional rock-documentary concept at all costs.
He did have what he says he thought was an interesting format in mind for the movie now known as It Might Get Loud. It was an idea that percolated out of his mind from a different, failed documentary he investigated a few years ago: an idea to compare and contrast artists' methods, styles, personalities, and personal histories.
"I've never really discussed this, but I tried to raise money about six years ago for a documentary that I pretentiously called Work of Art," Guggenheim says. "The emphasis was on the work of artists; to put three different types of artists togetherperhaps a painter, a novelist, and an actorand have them talk about their process, and intercut them. I thought that by contrasting them, you might learn about the universality of the artists. I was totally into the idea, but from the beginning, it was a nonstarter. I failed to raise the money or get anyone interested. But when this subject came along, I thought, 'Let's see if we can do what I was trying to do then for this one: get three guitarists and put them together and compare them.' The difference is, I thought there needed to be some kind of an event to build the movie around, to bring them together."
Guggenheim picked three legendary guitar players from different generations and music styles and put them together: Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, U2's The Edge, and The White Stripes' Jack White. But even after reaching out to each man and securing their interest, he still had to formulate a methodology for making his film. What he says he most certainly didn't want was "to map their biographies like a VH1 Behind the Music-type story, where you follow every album, tell vignettes from their rise to fame. The third act is always their crash, the drug overdose or car wreck or whatever. I didn't want to do that at all."
The process
Instead, Guggenheim decided to simply "trust the process," meaning he would talk to each man in-depth and let those conversations lead him to find pieces of their individual stories relating to their love of the guitar and music that were compelling enough to go out and try to illustrate with newly shot and archival moving images. He later would build pieces of those stories around an unscripted summit meeting between all three of them (they had never formally met prior to the making of the documentary) on a gigantic sound stage on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Calif.
Guggenheim's method for launching his process was to first meet with each man and create multitrack audio recordings of their 2-hour-to-4-hour conversations and use those as "the film's backbone," according to producer Lesley Chilcott. Those audio interviews gave Guggenheim "a way to find the things the three men had in common, and their differences," Chilcott says.
Once the original interviews were done, they served as the foundation for a creative exploration process. Guggenheim and editor Greg Finton began cutting up the interviews as if they were making a radio show and intercutting them with low-resolution YouTube videos. A road map resulted that gave Guggenheim and his team enough guidance to start rolling both film and digital cameras as they set out to tell the three men's stories (shot mainly with Super 16, with some Super 8 as well) and then bring them together for the summit (shot with Sony F23 cameras onto HDCAM SR tape).
"Davis called me in as soon as he completed the audio interviews, and I'd say that for the first month that I worked on the project as the editor, we had almost no footage of our own whatsoever," Finton says. "It was the first time in my career where YouTube played a big part in slapping the film together. I would take audio piecesmany of which ended up in the final movieand find images to put over them. It was a unique way of working, but it let me get the ball rolling and sort of bounce ideas around about how we envisioned the thing once we started getting footage."
Guggenheim adds that the YouTube angle should not be overlooked. Over the course of time, if vintage footage of one of the three men made it into the early cut, his team would go hunting for the original source footage and rights to that footage, but it was the early, ultra¬low-res YouTube footage that got them moving forward with an actual story. The director says the experience, albeit unintentionally, illustrates a new way of doing documentary research.
"YouTube sort of was our research department; it really changed everything," Guggenheim says. "We used it also on Inconvenient Truth. It used to be, if you wanted footage, you called a news organization and filed a request for footage with keywords, and four weeks later, you got some of the footage you asked for if you spent a lot of money. Greg and I were making this story come alive ourselves and didn't want to wait for a researcher, so as we got ideas, we just went on YouTube and found things that were quite remarkable [in terms of archival footage]. There is one clip of Jack White playing an early concert with [bandmate Meg White] in Detroit that was perfect. We found the kid who filmed it several years ago with a tiny videocamera, and he didn't even know how to license it to us. Many such clips were useful facsimiles as we set out talking to hundreds of sources about footage. Dozens of clips in the movie were originally located on YouTube."
