From boozy brunches to leisurely nightcaps, Toronto's patios add ambience to your cocktail, whatever the hour. Don't let summer pass you by without experiencing a few of these hotspots, which offer an ideal way to make the most of a sultry summer day or night in the city.
Against the Grain
Located on the Harbourfront right next to Sugar Beach, this chic restaurant offers an unparalleled view of Lake Ontario and Toronto Island. With lounge seating, fire pits and enough space for 170 people, Against the Grain's patio is a great way to experience the waterfront without getting wet.
Amsterdam BrewHouse
The Amsterdam Brewhouse's waterfront outpost combines its signature local brews with a beer-infused menu and serves it up on three big, breezy patios – one of which looks right onto the lake. Craft beer fans can choose from a wide selection of draft, cask or seasonal brews and curl up on one of the Muskoka chairs for a truly Canadian experience.
The Madison
A converted Victorian mansion in the Annex, Madison Avenue Pub is a popular hangout for University of Toronto students and starving artists – and not just for its cheap drinks and weekly specials. There are 11 different bars and five patios to choose from in this massive six-floor pub, as well as a piano bar, pool tables and DJ sets on weekends. The Maddy is a one-stop-shop party under one roof.
The Porch
This patio atop the Rock'n' Horse Saloon in the heart of the Entertainment District has a spectacular view of the city and a party vibe. Here, enormous margaritas come garnished with overturned Coronas, the dance floor hosts line dancing, and the bar resembles a wood horse stable. When you've had enough with the porch, check out the country-themed nightclub inside – and take the mechanical bull for a spin.
Bovine Sex Club
Despite the punk rock/goth-inspired interior, the Bovine Sex Club's recently-installed rooftop patio is modelled after a tropical oasis. Grab a cocktail from the tiki-hut-style bar and relax amongst the tropical plants, tiki masks and graffiti-covered exposed brick.
Mill Street Brew Pub
Located in the Distillery Historic District, the Mill Street Brewery's coveted cobblestone patio makes you feel like you've stepped back in time (after a couple of pints). The building is a well-preserved example of the 19th century industrial complex – spiritmakers Gooderham & Worts – that occupied this site. Choose between 14 brews on draft and drink in the sights of the neighbourhood known for its beer.
Duke of Westminster
Set in First Canadian Place, Duke of Westminster is a classic pub spread across two levels, and serves tall pints and cool cocktails. An after-work crowd flocks to the 70-seat patio, nestled in among the soaring towers of the financial district.
O'Grady's on Church
This traditional Irish pub on Church Street draws a lively crowd in summer. The biggest patio in the gaybourhood, O'Grady's accommodates 160 people between its upstairs and street level patio. Expect a rambunctious crowd, friendly staff and a great spot to watch Village nightlife in action – especially during the Pride festival.
Start your evening here with a hearty "Bear Platter" and continue up Church to see which stops strike your fancy or end of the night with a late-night snack (the kitchen is open till 3 a.m. on weekends).
Allen's Restaurant
This intimate Irish pub on the Danforth is where Toronto's Celtic music scene is at its best. Opened in 1987 to resemble a saloon restaurant typical of Irish New York, Allen's evolved into a family-friendly neighbourhood pub lauded for its live music and handmade burgers. In summer, the spacious and leafy back patio is where Danforth drinkers gather.
The Stone Lion
Once home to the Dominion Bank in the early 1900s, the stately Stone Lion Pub at the corner of Queen and Kenilworth Avenue is a favourite for locals and tourists in The Beach neighbourhood. Two large patios offer the best of shade and sun, making this a perfect option for lunch and an afternoon pint after strolling the boardwalk.

We live in a society in which we feel we must "work" hard, check enough boxes and accomplish a certain amount of activity before we can consider ourselves satisfied. Moving from a place of productivity based on piece on physical production to work based on intellect and strategy from my observation lead to mental health issues.
The factory worker and the CEO hold vastly different measurements of production. Producing a certain number of accurate parts verses a job based on delegation and decision are night and day. That said; I believe most humans with average brain functioning can most likely attain and succeed in any occupation. The difference is the type of work and social programming that has taken place throughout the person's life.
Someone who went to college, maybe on to grad school may never work in an environment in which manual labor is required. This individual is programmed to only understand that he or she was hired for their knowledge of a certain field and not to work as those who are laborers and technicians. For the white collar worker it would seem a waist of their ability to contribute to the work of operating a machine, fixing a car or building something. Of course the white collar worker is capable of such work it would become mentally awkward. The blue collar worker also could perform the functions of their white collar counterparts if placed in such a role yet just as the white collar would find it awkward so would the blue collar worker who is now performing the duties of a corporate director.
The problem lies in the social engineering that has taken place. A CEO who gets fired probably will not go apply as a construction worker even if the job gave him or her living wage. Also the blue collar worker probably would not apply for the dismissed CEO's positon as they may feel inadequate. Are they inadequate? I doubt it, what I do believe is two types of programming which has shaped their life and contribution to society. who
There may be a real correlation between depression and persons who have placed themselves outside of their definition of work. Some say that happiness is the end of all things. A person may find themselves in a higher paying job or a job that does not meet their intellectual needs and find discouragement. Both persons will never be able to perform enough "work" to be satisfied as both look at completion differently. The blue collar worker working a white collar job may spend every waking moment of their lives in their new position trying to produce without slowing down. Of course not everything can be accomplished in a day or a week. Working in white collar fields involves working with humans who are all bringing a variety of complex issues. This inability to feel accomplished could create severe depression. The same with the white collar worker who is now in a factory; this worker is continually frustrated with the way the operation is conducted without the authority to change the operation. The lack of operational freedom may bring about frustration leading to a lack of fulfillment.
Most people are in awe of why so many very successful people commit suicide especially among the entertainment industry. These individuals do not answer to supervisors and many have come from a blue collar background. They believe work involves production of something tangible. They may never be able to create enough music, movies, art etc. Drugs and alcohol are common as even though their bank accounts are filled, their hearts are empty.
Moving up and down the ladder between the blue collar and white can create a psychological shift which causes more harm than the money is worth. That said transition is possible and through proper self-care and realization that both types of work are important to the contribution to society.
Companies could do more to train those being promoted into a different dynamic. Those who find themselves in instant success should in my opinion see a therapist to work through the major life change that follows. The same should be said of those who have been dismissed from white collar positions and are now working in the manual fields.

Robert Kirkman has revealed that he is happy with the television adaptation of his comic book series The Walking Dead.
TV Squad reports that Kirkman was involved in casting and the scripts and wrote the show's fourth episode.
Kirkman has now explained that he is happy with the way the series differs from the comic books.
"Between [director] Frank [Darabont] and the writers in the writing room, there are a lot of great, talented people working on this show and a lot of interesting ideas come up when you're addressing what to do with this," he said. "There's a lot of new characters added that I think are amazing and that people are going to fall in love with."
Meanwhile, Darabont suggested that the show has mirrored the style of Kirkman's comics.
"I like that the series is really being true to the comic book in the sense of its intimacy, its focus on these characters," he said. "I like that every story doesn't have to turn into a big action scene. The sort of quiet, focused, intense storytelling that we're doing often is very reflective of what Robert has done in the comic books and I like that."
The Walking Dead premieres on Sunday at 10/9c on AMC in the US and on November 5 at 10pm on FX in the UK.

A version of the following was published in the July/August issue of MCCL News.
"I cling to the ideal of a citizen-legislator, not a career politician," says Kurt Bills. "My aspirations lie only in fixing what's broken and standing up for what's right."
An economics teacher
Bills is the Republican-endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate. He offers voters a pro-life alternative to pro-abortion incumbent Democrat Amy Klobuchar in the Nov. 6 election.
Bills currently represents District 37B in the Minnesota House of Representatives; he previously served on the Rosemount City Council. He has taught social studies, including economics and American government, for the past 15 years at Rosemount High School.
Bills lives in Rosemount with his four children and wife of 17 years, Cindy, who runs a home daycare. The family attends Christ Church in Apple Valley.
Record is pro-life
"Cindy and I are both staunchly pro-life," Bills says. He opposes abortion, human cloning, research that requires the destruction of human embryos, and health care rationing based on "quality of life" criteria. "I look forward to taking the pro-life message to the United States Senate."
During his two years in the Legislature, Bills has cast many pro-life votes, including votes to ban taxpayer funding of abortion, protect unborn children capable of feeling pain, and ban taxpayer funding of human cloning. This year he co-authored bills to license and inspect abortion facilities and prohibit "webcam abortions," in which the RU486 abortion drug is dispensed remotely absent the physical presence of a doctor. Both pro-life measures were vetoed by Gov. Mark Dayton.
Bills strongly opposes the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), which will result in government-subsidized abortion coverage and the rationing of lifesaving care. "Obamacare should never have passed, and it should be repealed as soon as possible," he explains. "My opponent Amy Klobuchar was the deciding vote in passing ... Obamacare."
Every vote matters
Recent history—notably the Obamacare debate—has shown that every Senate vote matters. Kurt Bills promises to make his vote count on behalf of unborn children and other vulnerable members of the human family.

If Jason Day is going to be doing any more promo videos involving Adidas' new Boost golf shoes, the company might need more insurance.
The setup was simple — tie a piece of Boost cushion material to a drone, fly it up a few feet into the air, and have Day hit the material with a nine-iron shot. Easy, right?
We would ask the drone, but it didn't survive the trip.

February 7, 2011
The Obama Administration is proudly announcing the decline of the unemployment rate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last Friday announced that the unemployment rate fell from 9.4 to 9.0 percent, the lowest figure since April, 2009. What what about the "real" numbers?
The January employment report was not complete. In fact, the new way the Labor Department has for determining the percentage of unemployed is now nothing but a sham.
Consider this: Abominable winter blizzards across the country caused 886,000 workers to report "not at work due to bad weather," according to the BLS. This is 600,000 more than the normal 300,000 not at work for the average January of the past decade.
So the bad weather has distorted the numbers. The actual 36,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls and the 50,000 gain in private payrolls really don't have a snowball's chance at being accurate. The 1 million people in January who wanted a job but didn't look for one because of "other" reasons hints again at the bad-weather distortion. So does the 4.9 million jump in the part-time workforce.
As for the 9 percent unemployment rate, it's not likely to last as more people are recorded reentering the labor force in the months ahead. The household employment survey (on which the unemployment rate is based) increased 117,000 in January, following a near 300,000 gain in December.
On the plus side (if anything can be believed in these numbers), average hourly earnings increased by four-tenths of 1 percent -- a much bigger gain than in recent months. Over the past year, wages are rising 1.9 percent.
But here's a key point: Manufacturing jobs in January rose by nearly 50,000. That's consistent with the blowout ISM manufacturing report for January published a few days ago. Manufacturing has been the biggest surprise in the recovery. Additionally, the ISM non-manufacturing services report was also gangbusters for January.
These reports are more accurate and more significant than today's jobs calculation. And if you piece them together with record-breaking profits, which are the mother's milk for stocks, business, and the whole economy, it's hard not to conclude that the pace of recovery is actually picking up steam -- despite the lackluster jobs performance.
The downside of the upside is mounting inflation pressure. Both ISM reports registered very strong prices paid. Those outsized price increases are picking up the huge commodity-price increases that Ben Bernanke continues to ignore.
Bond-market rates have moved up to 3.64 percent for the 10-year Treasury and 4.73 percent for the 30-year. Those rising yields are signaling inflationary growth. Along with soaring commodity prices, the abnormally steep Treasury yield curve is signaling the Fed to stop creating new dollars with its QE2 pump-priming.
Right now, stronger economic growth, higher profits, and rising inflation continue to help the stock market, which actually increased Friday after the weird jobs report. But the risk here is that reported inflation for the CPI may rise faster than anyone thinks. And that could take a bite out of stocks and the recovery.
There has always been the trend that layoffs at companies which sell stock contributes to a buying frenzy, so stocks generally go up with workers are handed pink slips. But even this doesn't tell the true story of unemployment.
Right now, there are more than 4 to 4.5 million who have fallen off the rolls at the Labor Department due to more than two years being out of work. Another 8 million or more have just given up after years of not being able to find full time work. Couple these with the millions of "under employed" or those with two, three or even four part-time no-benefits employment and you could near accurately arrive at a rate nearing the 20 percentile mark. One wonders what the numbers will look like when another million young people try to enter the work force following graduation from college this spring.
Writing in The Atlantic on January 11th economist Don Peck, said that in the months to come a particularly scary specter of 'structural unemployment' will loom around Americans. This is simply joblessness without end for some large group of people who want work, but can't find it. He said: "This will be a pestilence that slowly eats away at people, families, and, if it spreads widely enough, the fabric of society. Indeed, history suggests that it is perhaps society's most noxious ill."
Election mode is quickly coming into being and President Obama wants four more years. This can only be possible if the unemployment rate drops to around 7 percent before November 6, 2012. That may only happen if his Labor Department can successfully cook the books before the real facts can be proven.

The Austrian city of Vienna in 1814 would have dazzled even a Hollywood director. Emperors and empresses, kings and queens, dukes and duchesses — members of ruling families who hoped to recover thrones or to increase their lands — were there. So were leading statesmen from practically every country in Europe. For the so-called Congress of Vienna was meeting to make peace, now that Napoleon had finally been defeated. The Congress was going to set the world right again. The old city was overcrowded. Hotel rates soared and homeowners rented their houses at unheard of prices. Laundresses grew wealthy and tailors prospered, silks and gold lace were everywhere. The highborn visitors found little time for sleep because of the never ending round of festivities. There were dinners and parties, receptions and dances, operas, ballets and concerts led by the great composer and orchestra leader Beethoven. So the rulers and aristocrats wined and danced, bowed and flirted. Vienna merry go round might have been a good term for the great international peace conference in 1814. You should not get the idea that there were no serious minded people present at the Congress of Vienna. There were and they knew what they wanted. While most of the visitors were caught up in the social whirl, these statesmen took time to confer on serious matters. Their purpose was to stamp out the ideas of liberty and equality and of self government proclaimed during the French Revolution and spread by Napoleon's armies. Could the members of the Congress of Vienna smother these ideas? One might as well ask whether they could stop winds from blowing or check the flow of rivers fed by countless small streams. Here we read how old and new ideas clashed and will answer these questions: 1. How did the …Read More »
A Tyrant Who Was Not Tyrannical
A tyrant's first problem was to seize power. Peisistratus had to solve this problem three times. In 560 he came before a meeting of the Assembly wounded and bleeding, alleging that his political opponents had attacked him. Sympathisers voted him a body-guard, with the aid of which he was able to seize power, but his opponents soon forced him to take flight. His next descent on the city was made in a chariot, in which he was accompanied by a handsome woman dressed up as Athena. He alleged that his companion was in fact Athena and that she had chosen him to rule her city. No doubt this escapade, if it really took place, impressed the simpler supporters of Peisistratus and amused the wiser ones. Anyway he again established himself as tyrant and after another short spell of power was again thrown out. This time he stayed away ten years. When he returned for the third time, in 546, he made a less spectacular entry than on previous occasions, but remained to rule until his death in 527. During that period his talent for display found a more useful outlet. He organised the annual spring festival of Dionysus, at which the great tragic dramas of the following century were performed and the Panathenaea, a festival in honour of Athena, which included the recitation of poetry as well as athletics and drew competitors from all over Greece. He saw to it that Athens had buildings and sculptures worthy of her guests. We have become so accustomed to thinking of Athens as the most splendid city in Greece that it is hard to realise how insignificant she was before about the year 600. Solon having prepared the way, Peisistratus put Athens on the map, not only by skillful showmanship but also by …Read More »
The Greeks Lead the Way
If you had been a citizen of the ancient Greek city of Athens on a fine spring morning in 409 B.C., you would have gathered with thousands of your fellow citizens on a hillside inside the city. You would then have listened carefully to the discussion of various matters of business, conducted by the chairman and secretary of the meeting from a platform below and facing you. You would have seen an Athenian citizen thread his way from the hillside to this platform. This was a sure sign that he had a proposal to make to the voters. The citizen turned toward the assembled throng and spoke in a strong, clear voice. A man named Thrasybulus, he said, should be rewarded with a golden crown for his services to Athens. When the speaker paused, another citizen came to the platform. Yes, by all means thank Thrasybulus and give him a golden crown, urged the second speaker. He went on, these acts were not enough, because Thrasybulus was a foreigner, the best reward for serving Athens so faithfully and so well would be to make him an Athenian citizen. Would the voters of Athens do this? he asked. The chairman called for a vote by a show of hands and tellers counted the votes. A majority was in favour of the proposal and it was declared officially to have been approved by the voters of Athens. The secretary had a copy of the proposal carved on a marble slab to make the record permanent and there the record is to this day, over 2800 years later, but still readable! This old record tells us that Athenian citizens held meetings, discussed their own problems, and decided for themselves What they would do. The voters, instead of a pharaoh or a king, made …Read More »
Early Civilization Spreads by Land and Sea
Now Hiram, King of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him King. . . And Solomon sent word to Hiram, " . . . I purpose to build a house for the name of the Lord my God. . . Now therefore command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me; and . . . I will pay you for your servants such wages as you set; for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians [people of the city of Sidon]." . . . And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, ". . . I am ready to do all you desire in the matter of cedar and cypress timber. My servants shall bring it down to the sea from Lebanon; and I will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you direct and I will have them broken up there, and you shall receive it; and you shall meet my wishes by providing food for my household." So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired. while Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors [measures] of wheat as food for his household and twenty thousand cors of beaten oil. . . And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a treaty. And King Solomon built a fleet of ships. . . And Hiram sent with the fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea. . . These words adapted from the Bible tell the story of trade agreements between two kings who ruled about 1000 B.C. You have probably heard of Solomon. He had the reputation of being the wisest king of ancient times. But …Read More »
War in Korea 1945-1953
Although the cold war was the most important fact in the politics of the post-war world, few persons could have foreseen that it would lead to fighting in the small, remote country of Korea. Yet, as small and remote as it was, Korea had a strategic location. It was near three large powers — Russia, China and Japan — and the Japanese said it "points like a dagger at the heart of our country." The Japanese won control of Korea in the Russo-Japanese War and by 1905 they ruled it as part of their empire. During World War II, the Allies promised that "in due course Korea shall become free and independent." When Japan surrendered, they agreed that Russian troops would occupy Korea north of the thirty-eighth parallel and American troops would occupy Korea south of the thirty-eighth parallel. A provisional government would then be set up and after a period of no longer than five years, Korea would govern itself as an independent nation. The occupation of Korea was carried out as it had been planned, but the United States and the Soviet Union could not agree on a provisional government. Each set up a provisional government friendly to itself and in 1947 the United States brought the dispute before the United Nations General Assembly. The Assembly decided to hold elections in Korea, but the Soviet Union refused to allow United Nations representatives to enter its occupation zone. Elections were held outside the Russian zone and in 1948 the Korean Republic was established in South Korea. The city of Seoul was made the capital and Syngman Rhee was elected president. Thirty-two nations, including the United States, recognized the new government; the Russians and "their supporters did not. Instead, the Soviet Union helped to set up a new and separate …Read More »
Dictatorship and Civil War 1926-1939
THE END OF World War I brought many changes of government in Europe, but in a number of countries the old aristocrats and landowners still had power and the new governments could not solve the problems that faced them. Among these countries was Poland. A democratic form of government had been established, but conflicts between various parties and their leaders kept it from being very effective. General Joseph Pilsudski had helped to set up the new government of Poland. He retired from public office in 1922, when Poland adopted a democratic constitution. Pilsudski wanted a bigger and stronger Poland and he was dissatisfied with what the government was doing. In 1926 he led his armed followers on Warsaw, the nation's capital and the tramp of marching men sounded in Poland, as it did in Italy and Germany. Within a few days, Pilsudski was in control of the government. Although from time to time he held various offices in the government, Pilsudski was really the dictator of Poland until his death in 1935. Shortly before he died, Pilsudski put through a new constitution. While it called for certain democratic procedures, such as the election of a parliament, it merely made official Pilsudski's military dictatorship. Pilsudski's place was taken by General Edward Smigly-Rydz, the inspector-general of the army. He ruled with the aid of a group of military men known as the "colonels." Although Poland's political organization was looser than that of Germany or Italy, its form of government was very close to fascism. Much the same thing was true in the countries of the Balkans — in Greece, Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria and Rumania. During the 1920's and early 1930's Greece tried various forms of government. It was at times a monarchy, at times a dictatorship and at times a democratic republic. …Read More »
After the Peace of Paris 1919 – 1920
DURING THE war, three great empires — the Russian, the Austro-Hungarian and the German –had vanished forever. Then, by the Treaty of Sévres, a fourth empire, the Ottoman, was quietly put to death. Turkey was confined to Asia Minor and became a republic. Of its former possessions, the League of Nations assigned Syria and Lebanon to France and Palestine and Iraq to Great Britain. Trans-Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which had fought the Turks under an adventurous British colonel named T. E. Lawrence, became independent kingdoms. In Europe, there were seven new states: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. The first six, with Rumania, formed a zone that blocked Russian communism from spreading westward. Rumania had grown larger at the expense of Hungary, Russia and Greece at the expense of Turkey. Hungary and Austria were made small independent states, with no link between their governments. The South Slavs, who had triggered the crisis that brought on the war, saw their dream come true in a free, united Yugoslavia, but some Yugoslavs were still dissatisfied, for the Allies, in line with their secret treaty of 1915, had given Italy the port of Trieste and some islands on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic. Italy also received the Trentino and South Tyrol, former Austro-Hungarian lands. AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE Although the five treaties of the Peace of Paris changed the map of the world, it left more than one nation resentful and discontented. The Italians felt that the Allies had betrayed them by not giving them any of the German colonies. The Japanese felt cheated of their rightful gains in the Pacific and the Germans were particularly bitter, for they felt they had been unjustly treated in almost every way. When the peace conference began, they had expected that the Allies …Read More »
The Coming of the Storm 1905 – 1913
ALREADY HEMMED in on two sides by France and Russia, the Germans were dismayed to see Great Britain join their rivals. They feared that they would be surrounded by unfriendly powers and they decided to test the Entente Cordiale. They were anxious to find out how strong it was and how far Great Britain would go in backing up its new ally. The place they chose for the showdown was Morocco, where the French, now with the approval of the British, were policing large areas and taking over territory and rights. So, in March of 1905, a German warship suddenly appeared off the Moroccan port of Tangier. Kaiser Wilhelm came ashore and made a speech. He startled his listeners by declaring that Morocco ought to be an independent country. When the diplomats of the world heard of this speech they guessed what the kaiser was up to. He did not really care whether or not the French stayed in Morocco. He was simply trying to break up the new understanding between France and Great Britain. Events soon showed that the diplomats were right. Germany summoned the European powers and the United States to a conference, to discuss Morocco's future. The conference met in 1906, in the Spanish city of Algeciras, but instead of supporting Germany' all the powers except Austria-Hungary sided with France. In the end, Germany's attempts break the Entente only made it stronger. Even before the Algeciras conference was over, French and British Generals and admirals were planning the joint defense of their countries. In 1911 came a second Moroccan crisis, when the German gunboat Panther anchored in the port of Agadir. The Germans said they were merely protecting their interests, but it was soon clear that they intended a kind of international blackmail. They said they would …Read More »
Rivalries in the Middle East 1856 – 1912
THE MIDDLE EAST where Europe, Asia and Africa meet had long been known as one of the great crossroads of the world. Most of its people were Moslems, but among them were many Christians and Jews. They spoke languages as different as Arabic and Latin, Slavic and Turkish. They had little in common except that they were all subjects of the Ottoman sultan in Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire — so called after its early founder, Othman — was the last of several empires to rule over a large part of Islam. Unlike the earlier empires, it was dominated not by Arabs, but by Turks. Centuries before, the Turks had fought their way west from Central Asia and founded a new homeland in the West Asian peninsula of Turkey. From there, they had pushed outward, conquering lands and peoples. In 1699, however, they had lost Hungary to the Austrians. After that, while the nations of western Europe grew stronger, the Ottoman Empire became weaker. Throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Ottoman sultans had to combat enemies both within and without their empire. Their foreign enemies were the European powers, which snatched up their outlying lands. Their enemies at home were the subject peoples, especially in the Balkan Peninsula of southeast Europe, who demanded their freedom. Unrest was chronic and the Ottoman Empire, which was usually called simply Turkey, came to be known as "the sick man of Europe." By the 1850's, Turkey had lost lands north of the Black Sea to Russia and Algeria' in North Africa, to France. Of its former Balkan holdings, Greece was independent and both Serbia and Rumania had some freedom. A native Arab dynasty ruled much of Arabia. In Egypt, a former Turkish governor had set himself up as hereditary khedive, or viceroy, …Read More »
The End and the Beginning 378- 752
THE FIRST SIGN of the approaching Roman army was a thin column of dust. It rose like smoke from behind the jagged Thracian hills of Northern Greece, which sheltered the Visigoths' encampment. Moments later, the Visigoths, or German barbarians, as the Romans called them, could feel the ground tremble with the tread of the imperial legions. The Romans were advancing, forty thousand strong, under the personal command of the Emperor Valens. Within the Visigoths' barricade of wagons, all was confusion. Chieftains bellowed, calling their clans together. Sturdy Visigothic warriors dragged the wagons closer together in a protective circle. Horses neighed and whinnied as their riders leaped astride them; swords were unsheathed and lances brandished. A courier spurred away from camp to summon the main body of Visigothic cavalry, foraging at some distance. It was A.D. 378 and the battle of Adrianople was about to begin. Trumpets blared and the close-packed Romans marched straight toward the barbarian enemy. Suddenly, there was a thunder of hooves on the left. A great swarm of Visigothic horsemen, summoned from their foraging expedition, galloped over the hillside. They swooped down on the Romans, as an eyewitness described it, "like a thunderbolt which strikes on a mountain top and dashes away all that stands in its path." More horsemen poured in from the right and the front, pressing the tightly massed Romans into a death trap. The men of the legions could scarcely raise their arms to strike a blow. Again and again the horsemen charged, brandishing lance and sword. When night fell, forty thousand Roman soldiers lay dead upon the field, together with the grand master of the infantry and cavalry, the count of the palace, thirty-five commanders of horse and foot corps and the Emperor Valens himself. This great defeat was to mark the …Read More »

Getting to Know Kaylan Vander Schilden
May 16, 2005
Kaylan Vander Schilden has helped lead Cal to an undefeated regular season and a Pac-10 championship. Vander Schilden has had great success outside of Cal; she rowed for the Canadian junior national team. While preparing for the NCAA championships (June 3-5) she sat down with CalBears.com and answered some questions.
Nickname: Killer (My coach originally tried 'spider' but that did not catch on, thank goodness)
Position: 7 seat in the Varsity 8+
Movie: This changes constantly, but I would have to say my two favorite movies right now are 'Garden State' and 'Lost in Translation.'
TV show: 'Rachel Ray - 30 minute meals'; you learn to love the food network when you have no cable.
Athlete: I have no idea ... how about a hockey player? I am Canadian.
Sport to play (other than crew): Cricket, not sure if that really counts as a sport though.
Sport to watch (on TV or in person): Hockey
Food: Peanut butter
Band/Artist: This is too hard. I'm a huge fan of Ben Harper. Yeah, I guess I'll say Mr. Harper
How did you get involved in crew?: My older sister, Faraley, originally started rowing before I did, so one summer she sent me to a camp that one of her friends was coaching when I was 13. That's how I got involved and I haven't stopped since.
Why did you choose to come to Cal?: A girl I know, who briefly went to Cal, begged me to go look at the school while I was in the midst of checking out universities my grade 12 year. Another one of my friends told me I would know the school I would want to go to the second I got there, and I did.
At the beginning of the season, what is the one thing you most look forward to?: The end of the season, only because that is when we have our biggest races.
What did you dread most about coming to Cal?: Maybe classes, or living in the dorms... I don't like communal bathrooms.
What is your pre-race routine/superstition?: The only routine that I really have for big races is that I always have a new pair of socks to wear. New socks are a big deal to me.
What are the last 3 CD's you bought?: Tracey Chapman, The Postal Service, and Best of Van Morrison.
If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you bring with you, and what 3 things would you want to take?: I would take Laura Terheyden, my roommate and teammate, because we would have a total gas together on a desert island. Three things that I would take with me would be: sunscreen, my bathing suit and a towel. You did say a desert island right?
What is your greatest achievement in crew?: So far, winning Pac-10s as a team last year; that was pretty cool, but hopefully my greatest achievements are yet to come.
What do you do in your spare time?: I'm not sure... I don't really have any. If I did, I think I would cook a lot more, or maybe start a garden.
If you could trade places with anyone (celebrity or not) who would it be and why?: I would trade places with the woman who hosts the show 'World Greatest Spas' because she honestly must have the best job in the world.
Who/what inspires you?: My team, my family, my friends. Everyone that I am surrounded with is pretty inspiring.
What is the one song/type of music that you think should be banned from the erg room?: Country. No ifs, ands or buts.
What are your plans for the summer?: I'm going to go back to Victoria, BC for a while, train and work. In August I am going to go traveling in Europe to visit some people and see some sites.

Alliance to Build Class AA Communities Throughout Atlanta
- By
- Feb 24, 2015
As the first delivery of what will total more than $300 million in multi-family development in the Southeast, Alliance Residential Co. has opened The Haynes House in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood, the developer announced Monday.
The 186-unit, eight-story luxury apartment community is on Peachtree Road across from Peachtree Battle Shopping Center. Alliance acquired the property in May 2013, after working through what reportedly was "a myriad of challenges with the neighborhood and zoning officials."
Units at The Haynes House range from studios to two-bedroom apartments (from 652 to 1,349 square feet) and feature nine-foot ceilings, granite countertops and Energy Star stainless-steel appliances. The community's amenities include a resort-style pool with pool house and guest suite, an outdoor kitchen, a fitness club, a dog spa and dog run, and electric-vehicle charging stations.
The Haynes House "sets the tone for what we will be doing across the South: well-located best-in-class communities in key Southeastern cities," Alliance managing director Todd Oglesby said in a release.
Part of that approach is top-end amenities and finishes, Oglesby told Commercial Property Executive. "At Haynes House, for example, our kitchens have painted cabinets, counter-depth refrigerators, USB ports and hardwood flooring. The kitchen finishes are well above the market and are in line with what you would see in a new home in an intown Atlanta neighborhood."
Alliance's Atlanta office has a total of six projects in the pipeline. In addition to The Haynes House, they comprise Broadstone Court on Maple Drive in Buckhead's business district, which will open this summer; Broadstone Folly Beach in Charleston, S.C., and Broadstone Germantown in Nashville, both of which are under construction; and two more projects in Atlanta, one on Juniper Street in Midtown and on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.
Alliance has also been busy in Florida. About two weeks ago, the South Florida Business Journal reported that an Alliance affiliate had received $75 million in funding from JPMorgan Chase Bank for The Broadstone at Brickell, a 372-unit, 24-story apartment tower in Miami.
Though apartment construction in metro Atlanta is booming, broad-based employment gains will be more than adequate to continue pulling the overall vacancy rate down, according to a 2015 market forecast by Marcus & Millichap.
Payrolls are projected to expand by 2.7 percent this year, more than enough to balance out the completion of about 7,250 apartment units. As average multi-family vacancy slips 20 bp to 6 percent, operators should be able to hike rents about 7.6 percent on average, according to Marcus & Millichap.

After a flurry of work over the past week, I can at least say that I'm halfway done. I also added ride numbers to the main page and the individual pages. I'm sure I had a reason for omitting them before, but I've forgotten what it was.
The latest narratives aren't up to my usual level of verbosity. Frankly, I did these rides nearly three years ago and don't remember much beyond what I wrote down at the time (which is already in the book, of course). The new rides include photos and some background about how I chose or named the routes, but don't expect details like those in the day rides and tours at DJRider.com.
Here are the most recent additions to BikingIllinois.com:
I also added an unfortunate update for Ride 13: the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum in Woodstock will be closing in June 2008 due to a lack of visitors.
18 - Busse Woods
34 - Goodbye Norma Jean
39 - Havana
49 - Greenville
50 - Watch for Wild Turkeys
59 - Lucky Horseshoe
60 - Give Peace a Chance
There's more to come, of course, but I know better than to set any firm deadlines.

Getting your npm package version from bash
This question came up for me and since I spent more than 5 minutes looking it up and didn't find this answer anywhere else I wanted to document it.
The way to do it through npm is to add a script to your package.json file like so:
{ "name": "example", "version": "1.0.0", "scripts": { "version": "echo $npm_package_version" } }
Then you can do this to get the version from bash:
$ CURRENT_VERSION=$(npm run version --silent)
If you want to do automation as npm scripts, you can just access the $npm_package_version variable directly in your scripts.
The longer explanation here is that when you run an npm script it will automatically pull out all of the values from the package.json and put them into environment variables with the pattern npm_package_*. This means you can expose those variables as scripts if you want to use them externally.
The alternate version that I saw elsewhere was to just grab it using node like so:
$ CURRENT_VERSION=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
I'm officially a node.js contributor.
This was a couple months ago but I forgot to mention it here!
Here is the commit:
The problem was that, on Windows, loading a native module with a file system path that was longer than 256 characters hit the classic MAX_PATH windows issue. Node actually has a way to successfully load files with long paths, and that way was applied to all path handling except in this one particular spot. It just so happened that I was the only person in the world trying to load native modules from a long path on windows it seems!

We are a Pentecost people. Last week we were reminded in thinking about immersion that we are a people of the cross and the resurrection. This week in thinking about pouring, we affirm that we are people of Pentecost! Pentecost always falls on the seventh Sunday after Easter and is the time when we remember that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples. This event is what is often called the birthday of the Church and is what we often refer to when speaking of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We are a Pentecost people, baptized in water and the Spirit, which took place on that occasion. This is why we can say to God, as hymn #605 in the UM Hymnal says: "We your people stand before you, water-washed and Spirit-born."
Last week, we talked about the Greek term βαπτίζω, and referred to its definition as "dipping, immersing, or submerging for the purpose of washing or cleansing." But there is another meaning of βαπτίζω that we didn't talk about last week. βαπτίζω can mean at times, simply, "to overwhelm." This is not hard to see when we think about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The disciples gathered at Pentecost were "overwhelmed" to the point where some spectators thought they were intoxicated. If you've ever had a large amount of water poured over your head and face unexpectedly, you know what an overwhelming sensation is. This is why pouring, or what is also called affusion, is a beautiful symbol and usage of water in baptism.
Now before I continue, I want to take a step back and acknowledge something said last week about rebaptism. As I was posting the sermon manuscript and remembered the way I presented it, I think I might have been a little too harsh. Let me share with you that it's not my intention in this series to talk about "rules" or to lay out an agenda saying "It's this way or the highway." Moreover, I'm not interested in shaming the institution nor individuals nor families for the ways that baptism may have been confused or misunderstood in the past. And I think the way I said it last week may have come out that way. So let me clear it up and speak from my heart and my experience, that I've been right here with you. I was re-baptized when I was 10 years old, having previously been baptized as an infant, though my parents and probably most of the folks in my home church called it a Christening, and viewed that more as a dedication service than a "real" baptism, which would be done whenever I made a profession of faith. This is played out in debates and discussions about "infant baptism" vs. "believer's baptism." But I have difficulty with these phrases because they're grammatically using "infant" and "believer" as adjectives rather than a personal recipients of divine grace.
Baptism is baptism, whether it is given to an infant or to a youth or adult. And we do not insist that people have to do one or the other, nor do we insist that it has to be done in a particular mode. An infant baptism is no more or less valid than "believer's" baptism. Immersion is no more valid than pouring or sprinkling. Really, we have more freedom in our church for parents and new Christians to follow their own conscience in these matters than most others. This is because we believe the emphasis is not in the obedience of the person or parents of the one baptized, but in the proclaimed identity of the baptized. That's why the voice that says, "This is MY Son!" upon Jesus in baptism is more crucial than the fact that he got more or less wet than others perceive. When a person is baptized, we believe it is God saying over the infant or young person or adult "This is MY child!" That's what I hope we can think of in terms of baptism being about identity rather than a feeling or experience that we think is necessary for someone to follow a certain way. When I was an infant the pastor applied water to my head and invoked the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in baptizing me; in that act I was proclaimed as God's own child.
There's more to that story, but in telling it in the context of thinking about pouring, since that's the theme for this week, I am reminded of how I felt the water on the Sunday after I made my profession of faith at age 10. I got wet y'all! It wasn't an immersion, but it was more than just a sprinkling. The pastor filled his hands with the water and dumped it on my head. I remember the feeling of water flowing over my head as if it had been poured from above.
And how this fits with baptism is that pouring is an action of water coming from above, it is the sign and seal of the Holy Spirit like what we see at Pentecost. In baptism, we recognize the gift and promise of the Holy Spirit. In the sermon at Pentecost, Peter says that promise is for "you, your children, and for all who are far away – as many as the Lord our God invites." Hence, again, baptism and its accompanying promise are not about an individual's decision, but about the action, invitation and gift of God to bring salvation and offer it to all. In baptism, we acknowledge the work of the Holy Spirit in the person's life, be it as an infant or at the time the person comes to believe in Christ as Lord and Savior. Baptism is that person being brought into this new identity as God's child, a covenant community, being united with Christ. Baptism, then, is never a "private event," because it involves commitments not only from the ones being baptized and/or their parents/sponsors, but also the entire community in covenant with one another, called the local church, who agrees to support the baptized with encouragement, prayers, and coming alongside them in the journey of discipleship.
Carrie and I sometimes get asked, "Why did you have Sam and Julianne baptized? Why not wait and let them decide that on their own?" One of the ways we have found helpful in responding to this question is to imagine it like a party…a Holy Spirit party, if you will. This party began at Pentecost and has been going ever since. That first crowd was the first generation of people who would be invited to the party, but then the invitation and promise was given to their children as well. There are some traditions where even children raised in the church are not completely welcome to the party or to participate in all its functions, and are told they aren't really a part of the party until they're old enough to decide they don't want the life outside the party. In thinking through the parable of the prodigal son, this is like telling the child that they need to prodigal experience in a far off country before they can know the true joy of being welcomed home by the loving father. But where this fails, in our view, is that it misjudges the sin of the elder son who stayed home. His error was not that he didn't go away, but that he never really claimed the party as his own. The grace was always there for him, too. He just never owned where the father had claimed him as his own as well: "…everything I have is yours…"
I hear it said all the time that babies shouldn't be baptized because they don't know what's really going on. I think I understand that because I've thought that myself. But as I began to realize that baptism is about God's gracious action prior to my response of faith, I asked myself, "Do we really 'know' what's going on either? Do I really understand all of God's grace?" Is it simply about the individual's ability to "make a decision"? If so, then baptism would be about faith, rather than grace. But if baptism has to do with salvation, and I believe it does, then it is based not on me, but on God's grace. Yes, I need to make the decision and own the faith, but that is my saying "Yes" to where God has already said, "Yes" to me. Baptism, in other words, is God's "Yes" upon your life. And God said "Yes" to you long before you could even say "Yes" back, or even before you were able to utter the words, "Dada" or "Mama." That's why we say that baptizing an infant is as appropriate as baptizing a youth or adult. Because God has invited us all to receive grace. Thanks be to God.
Pouring is a beautiful image because it is significant language in the other sacrament in which we are about to participate. This day is World Communion Sunday, which falls on the first Sunday of October every year. An emphasis is made on this day that despite whatever differences we have in doctrines, practices, and so on, from all across the world on this day, Christians of multiple denominations unite together to celebrate this holy meal. It's kind of an image of what took place at Pentecost, which was a festival where people from all across the known world came to Jerusalem to celebrate the giving of the Law; people from various sectors, or denominations, of Judaism came for this purpose and on that one occasion, the Holy Spirit was poured out so that the message of the good news of Jesus Christ spread to all the places that were there represented. That's what this meal is about. We will pray that the Holy Spirit is poured out upon us and these elements that in this meal we will be filled, or baptized, with the Holy Spirit to go out to share the love of Christ with our neighbors as well.
We are a Pentecost people.

Router Expert: Configuring firewall active access control
Expert Michael Martin examines active network access control and describes instances where "active" access control is needed to control access to the network.
|Read about Michael
1. What is active network access control (ANAC)?
Most firewalls are configured to provide "passive" access control to the network. Access to the network is administered using an access policy that allows the in/out flow of traffic based on user and server network access requirements. While access needs to be explicitly defined by the network administrator, once the policy is in place, access to the permitted services is unrestricted. For most environments this approach is more than adequate. A properly configured firewall and logging infrastructure provides both the protection and auditing capabilities needed to ensure your network's security.
There are however, instances where "active" access control is needed to control access to the network. Active access control, or the more aptly descriptive interactive access control, enforces network access control on a per-user, authenticated (based on host IP address) basis. The Cisco IOS provides two mechanisms to provide this type of access control: Lock-And-Key (L&K) and Authentication Proxy (AP). Functionally, both mechanisms are similar. Both utilize AAA new-model user authentication and dynamically modify IP access group ACL's to control access. Where the two methods differ is in their operation and implementation.
2. Implementing Lock-And-Key and Authentication Proxy Access Control
L&K access control was introduced in IOS version 11.1. L&K functionality is available on most IOS implementations. But L&K is dependent on AAA new-model authentication utilizing one or a combination of local, Radius or TACACS authentication methods. When implemented, L&K blocks inbound or outbound network access. Depending on the application direction of the access group, you can use the extended access list (ACL) deny ip any any (i.e., the Lock). To access the network, a user opens a VTY session (via telnet or SSH) with the router and authenticates with a username and password (i.e., the Key). Upon successful authentication, a single dynamic permit statement is added to the interface access group. The dynamic access list entry is based on the source or destination IP address of the exec session source (again, depending on the placement of the IP access group). The dynamic entry exists for a defined period of time (based on an absolute timer or session inactivity). When the timer expires, the entry is removed. The user must then re-authenticate to access the network.
AP access control was introduced in IOS 12.0.5T. AP functionality is available as part of the IOS Firewall Feature Set (FFS) and is dependent on AAA authentication via TACACS or Radius. Local accounting is not supported. As with L&K access control, network access through the router is blocked using an inbound or outbound IP access group. While L&K requires the user to actively open a session to the router and authenticate, under AP, a user's HTTP session is passively hijacked and redirected to a java-based authentication applet. If AP access control is being imposed to protect inbound access to a secure network, the user HTTP request should be directed to an HTTP server connected to that network. If AP access control is imposed to regulate off-network access, the user just needs to open an HTTP session to any Web site and the router will intercept the request. Upon successful authentication, the router downloads user-specific access control entries and dynamically adds them to the access group's reference ACL. Hence, local user accounts cannot be utilized, because user-specific ACL customizations require the use of Radius or TACACS.
While initially it seems odd that the IOS has two methods to perform the same basic function, the method to the Cisco madness seems to be that each is rather well suited for a particular ANAC policy stance. If generic per-user access control is used to regulate access to protected resources (i.e., users utilizing public internet access to reach private resources), then L&K is a great approach. But, if the need is to control local user outbound network access (i.e., controlling user Internet access), then AP has some distinct advantages. The main one is AP's ability to create custom per-user access control policies. Both approaches have some quirks, but both are great tools to have in your security toolkit.
3. Configuring Lock-And-Key access control
There are two ways to implement L&K. The first, and most common, is to utilize local authorization. The second is to utilize remote (i.e., TACACS/Radius) authorization. The local authorization approach has the advantage of using both local and remote user authentication databases. But it has the downside of having to configure use-specific VTY and corresponding AAA authentication method lists. This limits the access method for authentication to telnet. SSH cannot be used with VTY rotaries. The remote authorization approach removes the option for using local authentication databases and will work with the "default" AAA authentication and VTY configuration. The remote authorization method also makes it possible to utilize both SSH and telnet for authentication access to the router. We will examine configuring both the local and remote authorization approaches. Then, you can decide which approach is best suited for you needs.
3.1 L&K with local authorization
The local method has three configuration steps:
- Configure user authentication
- Configure VTY rotaries
- Configure the L&K access filter
All of these steps need to be done using a serial connection to the console port of the router. If you try to configure this over the network, you risk locking yourself out of the router.
3.1.1 Configuring user authentication
In most cases, a global AAA authentication statement using the "default" named list is adequate for controlling exec shell authentication. However, since L&K uses the VTY access component of the router to facilitate access authentication along with exec shell access for administration, distinct AAA authentication policies for L&K and administration need to be created and applied to use specific VTY rotary groups. The AAA configuration for "local" is the following:
First, enable AAA and configure the authentication server:
aaa new-model tacacs-server host 172.30.1.2 tacacs-server key secretkey ip tacacs source-interface ethernet 1/0 username routeradmin password **** ! When using AAA, you should always have a local admin account.
Once AAA is enabled and the server has be configured, create the authentication lists:
aaa authentication login ANAC group tacacs+ aaa authentication login admin group local
In addition to authentication, it is highly recommended that login attempts be controlled, and that both access success and failures be logged to the accounting server.
aaa authentication attempts login 1 aaa accounting exec ANAC start-stop group tacacs+ aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
3.1.2 Configure VTY rotaries
A rotary is a group of VTY/TTY interfaces under a common configuration policy. By default, all VTY interfaces belong to a single rotary group that listens for connections on the default protocol service ports as defined by the transport input VTY line def. For example, a VTY can be configured like this:
line vty 0 transport input telnet line vty 1 transport input ssh line vty 2 4 transport input telnet
The router would accept telnet and SSH connections using their default ports on this interface. In operational terms, the above VTY configuration would allow only one SSH connection (on VTY1) and four telnet VTY connections (VTY 0, 2, 3 and 4).
When using L&K, the users that need to authenticate connect via telnet (or SSH) using the known service port. To facilitate that, we need to configure the number of VTYs that we want available. The router comes with five VTYs by default; we will configure the first four to user authentication. The first we configure as the VTY transport protocol:
line vty 0 3 tansport input telnet
That is followed by the authentication list configuration:
login authentication ANAC
The last step is to enable dynamic ACL editing:
autocommand access-enable host time 10
The line configuration command <autocommand {command}> sets the port to perform a specific command once the user has been authenticated. When the command has been executed completely, the session is terminated. Autocommand is commonly used when creating out-of-band terminal server configurations. SSH and telnet sessions to specific hosts are configured on the ports. When a user connects to the port, the telnet/SSH session is started. When the user ends the telnet/SSH session, the VTY session is also severed. In the case of L&K configuration, the <access-enable host timeout {1-9999 min}> command is executed, which adds dynamic ACL entries using the source address of the VTY session. Of course, for the command to work you need to have an IP access group configured to use a dynamic ACL. That brings us to the last configuration step, creating the access filter.
Hold on a second, you must still access the router to perform administration functions. We can't forget that! Since AAA is enabled and no default authentication method list has been created, all of the ports on the router that are not specifically configured are locked out, including the console port. Before you configure the administrative VTY, configure the console port:
line con 0 privilege level 15 login authentication admin
Once the console is squared away, configure the administrative VTY in the following manner. First, define the transport protocol:
line vty 4 transport input telnet transport output telnet ! This will allow you to open telnet sessions to other hosts
Follow that with the authentication list configuration:
Login authentication admin
The final step is to assign the VTY to a rotary group.
rotary 1
The IOS supports 99 VTY rotary groups. To connect to a rotary group using telnet, you need to specify the rotary group number starting on port 3000. So to connect to our administrative rotary, we would telnet to port 3001.
Outland:admin#telnet lab-router 3001 Trying 172.30.71.1... Connected to lab-router. Escape character is '^]'. Username:
Now that we can administer the router and the user authentication access has been configured, we can move on to the final step, the set-up of the access filter.
3.1.3 Configure the L&K access filter
The L&K access list is quite simple. You need to permit access to the router for the two rotaries and block everything else:
Access-list 100 permit tcp any host 172.30.1.1 eq telnet Access-list 100 permit tcp any host 172.30.1.1 eq 3001
The example access list above is quite sparse. For most environments, you will want to consider permitting ICMP echo and echo-reply so that the router can ping and be pinged. Environments that utilize IPsec or Generic Route Encapsulation Protocol (GRE) tunneling will also need to permit GRE, ESP, AH, and IKE (UDP port 500). Regardless of what additional protocol support your site may need, the permit rules need to be included before the dynamic ACL statement, of which there can be only one. The IOS will ignore any additional dynamic ACL statements beyond the first. To enable dynamic additions, end the ACL with the following:
Access-list 100 dynamic L&K timeout 20 permit ip any any
There are a few points in the ACL stanza that you need to understand. The command syntax looks like this: <access-list {ACL#} dynamic {dynamic list name} timeout {1-9999 min} {permit|deny} {protocol} {source addr} {destination addr} {options}>. Most of the syntax is straightforward, but the "dynamic list name " and "timeout" need some clarification. The dynamic list name is simply a tag; it is not used for anything but it needs to be defined. The timeout value is the absolute timeout for the dynamic entry. The idle timeout is set by the access-enable command. The absolute timeout is set in the dynamic statement. If you do not set an absolute timeout, there is a possibility that the dynamic entry will not be removed. Be sure to set one. The standard eight-hour day would be 480 minutes.
Once the list has been created, install it as a standard access control filter using the <ip access-group> command:
interface E0/1 ip address 172.30.1.1 255.255.255.0 ip access-list 100 in
When the list is in place, you are ready to test. Simply telnet to the router and supply your username and password. If you authenticate successfully, the router will end the session and you should be able to access hosts on the other side. If you want to see the dynamic entries and how long they have until the expire, use the <show access-lists> command:
Extended IP access-list 100 Permit tcp any host 172.30.1.1 eq telnet Permit tcp any host 172.30.1.1 eq 3001 Dynamic L&K permit ip any any permit ip host 220.127.116.11 any (2 matches) (time left 454)
3.2 L&K with remote authorization
The configuration of local and remote authorization basically follows the same path, with only a few exceptions. Rather than go through the whole configuration again, we will just look that the differences between the two configurations.
3.2.1 No administrative rotary
For L&K to function, the user must run the <access-enable> command in the exec shell. Under the local authorization approach, this is done as a VTY <autocommand> option. The <access-enable> command is a standard exec shell command. So, in theory, (and practice) a user could just log in to the router, run the command and exit. The dynamic statement would be added and function appropriately. Of course, you would need to allow every user at least privilege level one access to the router. That's not a very secure approach, hence the use of the autocommand statement. When remote authentication is enabled, the VTYs are all configured to use the default rotary and TACACS/Radius is used to execute the <access-enable> statement.
3.2.2 TACACS/Radius authorization
The March 2003 edition of the Router Expert covered the details on implementing TACACS authorization. For L&K remote authorization, only exec shell authorization is needed. Here is the complete IOS AAA configuration for the L&K remote model:
aaa authentication login ANAC group tacacs+ aaa authentication login admin group local aaa authorization exec ANAC group tacacs+ aaa authentication attempts login 1 aaa accounting exec ANAC start-stop group tacacs+ aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
Enabling TACACS/RADIUS authorization only sets the stage. It's in the user profile configuration where the magic happens. The local authorization model depends on the VTY for command execution. With remote, TACACS/Radius passes the command to the VTY line. Here is a user profile syntax example for the tac_plus TACACS+ server:
user = sam{ login = cleartext "apassword" service = exec { priv-lvl = 15 autocmd = "access-enable host timeout 10" } }
Aside from the need for user profile modifications on the TACACS server, the L&K configuration otherwise is the same. Users who require exec shell access for administration will need different accounts for L&K access and administration. Alternatively, these users can also run
That wraps up introducing you to ANAC and Lock-and-Key access control. Next month, we will return with the final installment on configuring CBAC.

There were rumblings earlier this week about something called 'Ouya Everywhere.' You can take a guess at what that entails just based on the name, and you'd probably be pretty close. Ouya boss Julie Uhrman has now confirmed Ouya Everywhere is about expanding the platform beyond that one little cube.
Details are extremely limited right now. The confirmation on Ouya Everywhere only came at the end of a blog post about recent efforts to beef up the Ouya's games and software.Read More

BROOKLYN � At the request of the Board of Selectmen, the Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a zone change for the Tiffany Street Community Center.
The center is zoned as a residential property, but Carelot Daycare wants to rent about 3,000 square feet in the building.
�The proposal would not be consistent with the zoning of the building,� said Land Use Administrator Jana Butts Roberson. �There was a day care there previously, and my assumption is that it was considered to be a municipal facility and was exempt.�
The bottom of the building has everything a day care needs, including the child-sized toilets. First Selectman Austin Tanner said details of a lease agreement are still being worked out and Carelot would not need to do significant renovations.
�It�s paint and that sort of thing that it would need for a day care,� Tanner said. �They�ve asked for a free month of rent to take care of all that on their own.�
Tanner declined to disclose the rent being negotiated but said it will be made public in time for an Oct. 29 public hearing.
An ordinance that took effect Aug. 24, states �town meeting approval shall be required before the town of Brooklyn enters into any agreement, contract or lease of any town owned property or equipment with the value exceeding $5,000.�
The town does not own the Tiffany Street Community Center. The Brooklyn Housing Authority owns the building but is granting the town permission to manage it, an arrangement that has been ongoing for years but never put into writing.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will not hold its public hearing on the zone change until Nov. 6, when it will consider extending the Mill Mixed Use Development District to the property. That zone would allow the daycare and other commercial uses under a special permit.
�The MMUDD gives the housing authority a lot more flexibility for that building,� commission member Don Francis said.
Tanner said Carelot wants to be in the building for the first of the year. He said for that to happen, the town must keep its end of the process moving. The public hearing would have to go to town meeting. However, he said Carelot could start its part of the licensing process, contingent upon town approvals.
Tanner said the use makes sense considering the design of the building. But he said he is not sure what kind of reception the proposal will receive.
�There are people in town who don�t believe we should be renting to commercial operation,� Tanner said. �I don�t agree with that, but we�ll see what happens.�

The Cheyenne Wells, Granada and Holly baseball teams all got off to winning starts in Class 1A District 3 play this past Friday, April 1.
The surprise was No. 7 state-ranked Granada's 11-1 win over No. 1 ranked Eads, not so much in the win but in the one-sided affair.
No. 3 Holly, as expected, got off to a good start with a 14-2 win over No. 9Manzanola, while Cheyenne Wells rallied late to beat Springfield 4-2 in the best played game of the afternoon.
Holly is now the new No. 1 in the newest state rankings released by CHSAANow.com. Granada moved up to No. 2 while Eads dropped to No. 3. Manzanola fell out of the rankings.
Holly 14,
Manzy 2
MANZANOLA – Holly improved its overall record to 2-1 and more importantly, 1-0 in districy play with the big victory over the Bobcats.
Holly ace Ricardo Juarez struck out 10 of the 13 batters he faced in his four innings of work.
Brandon Wilson, just now ready to play for the Wildcats, pitched the final two innings in his first action of the year. Wilson returns to Holly after moving away at the end of the school year last year. He allowed two hits and had two strikeouts in his two innings on the hill.
Wilson was the leader offensively, banging out four hits in four trips to the plate, including two doubles. Marshall Pierce added three hits, along with Juarez. Yaniel Vidal and Casey Fletcher each had a pair of hits, as the Wildcats hammered out 16 hits in the win.
"We played very well I thought," said Holly skipper Dayne Eaton. "We only had two errors on the day, and we pitched well. Manzy is much improved; they may beat some of our teams in district play I feel. It was a good start for us."
Granada 11,
Eads 1
GRANADA – After two scoreless innings, Granada scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning and never looked back.
After Eads scored its lone run in the top of the fourth, the Bobcats got the run back in the bottom half of the inning to make it 5-1.
Granada blew the game open with a six-run explosion in the bottom of the fifth inning to end the game by virtue of the 10-run rule after five.
The Bobcats (1-2) scored their 11 runs on 12 hits.
Ryan Koeller and Francisco Martinez both collected three hits apiece including 2 RBIs and 1 RBI respectively. Cade Holden had 1 hit and 2 RBIs while David Reyes and Jaime Huerta both had 1 hit and 1 RBI apiece.
Koeller picked up the win on the mound. He pitched five innings and allowed one run on two hits with nine strike outs and three walks.
Steven Wilson took the loss for Eads, now 3-2 overall. He pitched four innings and gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits with four strike outs and one walk.
Marc Solis pitched one inning in relief and gave five earned run son four hits.
Cheyenne Wells 4,
Springfield 2
SPRINGFIELD – The Cheyenne Wells Tigers scored three runs in the fourth inning to take a 3-2 lead over a very young Springfield team.
The Tigers then scored in the top of the seventh for their final runs in a well played game.
With only one starter returning, Springfield is a team on the rebuild. Led by first year head coach Neil Dukes, the Longhorns only have a single senior on the roster and play four freshmen in their lineup.
Nevertheless, Springfield led 2-0 heading into the fourth. Freshmen catcher, Chase Jones, who finished with three hits on the day, scored single runs in the first and third innings after starting each inning with a single.
Cheyenne Wells took the lead in the fourth, lacing three singles in succession. The Tigers also used two walks and a Springfield error for the three runs.
Cheyenne Wells could have broken the game open there, but Springfield reliever, freshman Beau Dukes, limited the damage by getting out of a bases loaded jam with no outs when he entered.
Cheyenne Wells pitcher Kendall Pelton got the win, throwing five innings and allowing only the two singles to Jones.

What Is Sildenafil Citrate Used For?
Many people wonder, "What is sildenafil citrate used for?" The most common use of sildenafil citrate is the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence. Sildenafil citrate can also be used off-label to treat conditions other than ED, such as Raynaud's phenomenon and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the artery that carries blood to the lungs). Sildenafil citrate is not approved for use in children, newborns, or women.
What Is Sildenafil Citrate Used For?Sildenafil citrate (Viagra®) is a medication that has been licensed to treat erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is defined as a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. Essentially, erectile dysfunction is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
(Please note that this article refers specifically to Viagra, the original sildenafil citrate product that is approved for treating erectile dysfunction. For information about the sildenafil citrate product used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, please see Revatio Uses.)
How Does Sildenafil Citrate Work?Sildenafil citrate is very effective at treating erectile dysfunction. The medicine works by blocking a chemical that causes blood to flow out of the penis. More blood in the penis means an improved erection.
(Click How Does Viagra Work? for more information.)
Sildenafil Citrate Uses in Children, Newborns, and WomenSildenafil citrate is not approved for use in children, newborns, or women.
