[BUG]Hacking Attempt
Killer Possum:
Every once and a while visitors and myself get a message that says Hacking Attempt. Then after a refresh it's fine. What causes this. I also see it on this site every once in a while.
afaik it happens when 1. your session ID is invalid (ie: it expires), and 2. you try to go to an action that doesnt exist...
Killer Possum:
is it possible to make it so that it's like the other error messeges instead of just a line of text at the top of the page. It's just that it's very genaric and seems odd :P
Unless you were given some cvs code - which you most CERTAINLY should not have - this shouldn't happen at all. I'll need FTP access to see if this is causing the problem.
happened to me here too yesterday

Samuel Smiles
A fig-tree looking on a fig-tree becometh fruitful, says the Arabian proverb. And so it is with children; their first great instructor is example.
A womans best qualities do not reside in her intellect, but in her affections. She gives refreshment by her sympathies, rather than by her knowledge.
All that is great in man comes through work; and civilization is its product.
Although genius always commands admiration, character most secures respect. The former is more the product of the brain, the latter of heart-power; and in the long run it is the heart that rules in life.
Biographies of great, but especially of good men are most instructive and useful as helps, guides, and incentives to others. Some of the best are almost equivalent to gospels,teaching high living, high thinking, and energetic action, for their own and the worlds good.
Cheerfulness is also an excellent wearing quality. It has been called the bright weather of the heart.
Childhood is like a mirror, which reflects in after life the images first presented to it.
Commonplace though it may appear, this doing of ones duty embodies the highest ideal of life and character. There may be nothing heroic about it; but the common lot of men is not heroic.
Conscience is that peculiar faculty of the soul which may be called the religious instinct.
Courage is by no means incompatible with tenderness. On the contrary, gentleness and tenderness have been found to characterize the men, no less than the women, who have done the most courageous deeds.
Diligence, above all, is the mother of good luck.
Dr. Johnson held that impatience of study was the mental disease of the present generation; and the remark is still applicable. We may not believe that there is a royal road to learning, but we seem to believe very firmly in a popular one.
Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal improvement.
Genius, without work, is certainly a dumb oracle; and it is unquestionably true that the men of the highest genius have invariably been found to be amongst the most plodding, hard-working, and intent mentheir chief characteristic apparently consisting simply in their power of laboring more intensely and effectively than others.
Good sense, disciplined by experience and inspired by goodness, issues in practical wisdom.
Great men are always exceptional men; and greatness itself is but comparative. Indeed, the range of most men in life is so limited that very few have the opportunity of being great.
He who recognizes no higher logic than that of the shilling may become a very rich man, and yet remain all the while an exceedingly poor creature; for riches are no proof whatever of moral worth, and their glitter often serves only to draw attention to the worthlessness of their possessor, as the glow-worms light reveals the grub.
Help from without is often enfeebling in its effects, but help from within invariably invigorates.
His qualities depend, not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities. The Psalmist briefly describes him as one that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
Home makes the man.
Honorable industry always travels the same road with enjoyment and duty, and progress is altogether impossible without it.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.
If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiencies.
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failure.
It is not ease, but effortnot facility, but difficulty, that makes men. There is, perhaps, no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and overcome before any decided measure of success can be achieved.
It is observed at sea that men are never so much disposed to grumble and mutiny as when least employed. Hence an old captain, when there was nothing else to do, would issue the order to scour the anchor.
It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life. Human knowledge is but an accumulation of small facts made by successive generations of menthe little bits of knowledge and experience carefully treasured up by them growing at length into a mighty pyramid.
Liberty is quite as much a moral as a political growth,the result of free individual action, energy, and independence.
Life is of little value unless it be consecrated by duty.
Like men, nations are purified and strengthened by trials.
Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine; but lost time is gone forever.
Manners are the ornament of action.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book.
Method is essential, and enables a larger amount of wort to be got with satisfaction. Method, said Cecil (afterward Lord Burleigh), is like packing things in a box; a good packer will get in half as much again as a bad one. Cecils despatch of business was extraordinary; his maxim being, The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.
Necessity is always the first stimulus to industry, and those who conduct it with prudence, perseverance and energy will rarely fail. Viewed in this light, the necessity of labor is not a chastisement, but a blessing,the very root and spring of all that we call progress in individuals and civilisation in nations.
Necessity, oftener than facility, has been the mother of invention; and the most prolific school of all has been the school of difficulty.
No good thing is ever lost. Nothing dies, not even life which gives up one form only to resume another. No good action, no good example dies. It lives forever in our race. While the frame moulders and disappears, the deed leaves an indelible stamp, and molds the very thought and will of future generations.
Obedience, submission, discipline, couragethese are among the characteristics which make a man.
One might almost fear, writes a thoughtful woman, seeing how the women of to-day are lightly stirred up to run after some new fashion or faith, that heaven is not so near to them as it was to their mothers and grandmothers.
Politeness goes far, yet costs nothing.
Purposes, like eggs, unless they be hatched into action, will run into rottenness.
Self-control is only courage under another form.
Self-respect is the noblest garment with which a man may clothe himself,the most elevating feeling with which the mind can be inspired. One of Pythagoras wisest maxims, in his Golden Verses, is that in which he enjoins the pupil to reverence himself.
Stagnant satisfaction!
Stothard learned the art of combining colors by closely studying butterflies wings; he would often say that no one knew what he owed to these tiny insects. A burnt stick and a barn-door served Wilkie in lieu of pencil and canvas.
Sympathy is the golden key that unlocks the hearts of others.
The best school of discipline is home. Family life is Gods awn method of training the young, and homes are very much as women make them.
The career of a great man remains an enduring monument of human energy. The man dies and disappears, but his thoughts and acts survive, and leave an indelible stamp upon his race.
The cheapest of all things is kindness, its exercise requiring the least possible trouble and self-sacrifice. Win hearts, said Burleigh to Queen Elizabeth, and you have all mens hearts and purses.
The egotist is next door to a fanatic.
The government of a nation itself is usually found to be but the reflex of the individuals composing it. The government that is head of the people will be inevitably dragged down to their level, as the government that is behind them will in the long run be dragged up.
The great highroad of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well-doing; and they who are the most persistent, and the work in the truest spirit, will invariably be he most successful; success treads on the heels of every right effort.
The great lesson of biography is to show what man can be and do at his best. A noble life put fairly on record acts like an inspiration to others.
The path of success in business is invariably the path of common-sense. Notwithstanding all that is said about lucky hits, the best kind of success in every mans life is not that which comes by accident. The only good time coming we are justified in hoping for is that which we are capable of making for ourselves.
The Romans rightly employed the same word (
) to designate courage, which is, in a physical sense, what the other is in a moral; the highest virtue of all being victory over ourselves.
The truest politeness comes of sincerity.
The tyrant, it has been said, is but a slave turned inside out.
The women of the poorer classes make sacrifices, and run risks, and bear privations, and exercise patience and kindness to a degree that the world never knows of, and would scarcely believe even if it did know.
There are many persons of whom it may be said that they have no other possession in the world but their character, and yet they stand as firmly upon it as any crowned king.
There is a Russian proverb which says that misfortune is next door to stupidity; and it will generally be found that men who are constantly lamenting their ill luck are only reaping the consequences of their own neglect, mismanagement, improvidence, or want of application.
Though an inheritance of acres may be bequeathed, an inheritance of knowledge and wisdom cannot. The wealthy man may pay others for doing his work for him; but it is impossible to get his thinking done for him by another, or to purchase any kind of self-culture.
Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh to-day as when they first passed through their authors minds, ages ago.
True politeness is consideration for the opinions of others. It has been said of dogmatism that it is only puppyism come to its full growth; and certainly the worst form this quality can assume is that of opinionativeness and arrogance.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success; we often discover what will do by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Horne Tooke used to say of his studies in intellectual philosophy, that he had become all the better acquainted with the country through having had the good luck sometimes to lose his way.
Woman, above all other educators, educates humanly. Man is the brain, but woman is the heart, of humanity.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao calls for democratic reform in a speech in London.
Probably a lot less significant than it seems at first glance.
Edited to add: Back in the 60's Wen was considered a liberal reformer and was nearly sacked after the Tien An Men Massacre. Ever sicne he's been careful abotu toeing the party line.
The official Chinese party line is that China is a democracy but that it will gradually reform itself to be even more democratic. To put "gradually" in context: thirty years after promising free elections at the provincial level they still haven't happened. Almost 20 years after the handover of Hong Kong promised reforms to allow direct election of the Chief Executive still haven't happened.
So really, Wen is just repeating the standard political line.
There's a Party Congress later this year and the next "leadership generation" is supposed to take over the top posts next year. Previously, both events have resulted in an increase in censorship and repression
So, unfortunately we're unlikely to see any significant reforms any time soon.
Edited to add: a quick search on Xinhaunet, the Chinese government's official new ageny, suggests Wen's comments weren't reported in China.

Every so often either on twitter or in real life I'll read or hear some comment "Why is the UN acting in Libya but not doing anything about Sudan?"
About that:
The United Nations Security Council on Monday unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the deployment of 4,200 Ethiopian troops to Sudans disputed Abyei region, a move diplomats said was aimed at defusing tensions in the run-up to the southern third of the country declaring independence on July 9.

So David Frum posted an "I was wrong about same-sex marriage" on his CNN blog.
Even when I don't agree with his opinions, I tend to find Frum well-reasoned and I give him respect for admitting his position change in public.
Northern Ireland's finance minister is looking into changing business rates so large retailers pay more and small retailers pay less, in order to support the smaller ones.
Greece's 48-hour general strike turns nasty. As we all knew it would. Not that the Greek government is likely to bow to that when they're facing running out of money in two weeks and only one deal on the table.

The Netherlands vote ot ban Kosher and Halal slaughter.
This is despite the fact that:
a. importation of such meat from neighbouring countries like France and Germany will remain legal. Meaning that Dutch abbatoir works will lsoe their jobs but the same number of animal;s will be slughtered; and
b. available scientific evidence suggests religious slaughter practices actually cause less pain to animals than conventional slaughter techniques.
But, hey, so long as the religious minorities are reminded of their innate inferiority, that's the important thing.

Is it wrong that I kinda want to go find a Dutch person to watch them squirm around explaining how this totally ISN'T Islamophobic, yo?
Some of them hold the "it's not my crisis" position, and they feel that only investment bankers, corrupt bureaucrats etc. should foot the bill.
Others are overcome with a raving at the mouth nationalism combined with denial about their own faults. It's a bit sickening to see protesters with yellow swastikas on European flag when it's EU money keeping every government service from shutting down in their country - and a large chunk of EU money come from German taxpayers like myself.
I see comments on Der Spiegel online by Greek expats in Germany who compare the international aid for their country with an invasion, who say they'd rather see their country go bankrupt than take one more cent from the Germans.
My mom had a Greek friend whom she had met at a training for French language teachers in France something like 20 years ago. They (and a black female Professor from NY State University) had really hit it off and then taken those kinds of summer trainings together several years in a row. In recent years, my mom had lent a lot of emotional support via letters and E-Mails when the Greek lady went through personal and health crises. Mom recently received an email informing her that the friendship was over because of the way Germany had shamed Greece.
I'm beginning to think that the Mediterranean diet may be advantageous for the heart, but damaging to the brain.

We struggled against apartheid in South Africa, supported by people the world over, because black people were being blamed and made to suffer for something we could do nothing about; our very skins. It is the same with sexual orientation. It is a given.

Defeat to West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday left the Wearsiders bottom of the Premier League with just one point from the opening five games.
The club confirmed on Sunday evening that they had "parted company" with Di Canio but it is understood that Saturday's 3-0 loss, which saw the Italian face up to angry fans at the whistle, forced Stadium of Light chiefs to act.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Sunderland AFC confirms that it has parted company with head coach Paolo Di Canio this evening.
"Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night's Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future."
The former Swindon boss succeeded axed Martin O'Neill with just seven games to go in late March but oversaw only two Premier League victories during his tenure.
Sunderland scraped to safety, finishing 17th, but Di Canio's appointment prompted tumult as critics cited reports of his alleged fascist sympathies, forcing the club into a robust defence of their new man.
Di Canio repeatedly spoke of his desire to "revolutionise" Sunderland but changes to backroom staff, a tough new fitness regime and the influx of 14 new players in the summer failed to yield results.
He had remained bullish after defeat at The Hawthorns, saying: "I absorb the insults as it's part of the game - if I was in (the fans') position I'd be furious.
"My head is up, I won't give up. One game, one win, will clean all the players' brains from the problems they have now."
Sky Bet swiftly installed former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo as the favourite to replace Di Canio, with Gus Poyet also a frontrunner.

Level transitions are quicker now and the thumbnails for player levels work. A few bug fixes too, keep reporting bugs if you find them!
Meh, I'm not impressed. The gameplay is too simple. The sounds are too generic. The graphics are too low resolution. The music does not fit. Either downgrade the music to some well written 8 bit tracks or upgrade the rest of the game. It really needs some polishing.

New Language, New Food, New Insurance!
You know that GEICO's the best when it comes to insurance here in the States, but did you know that we can also help keep you covered while you're abroad?
Most standard insurance policies written in the US will not cover your vehicles or belongings once you leave the country and unfortunately, "I couldn't understand the sign!" won't get you off the hook if you have an accident.
What Is Overseas Insurance?
Overseas insurance is insurance for your car, motorcycle, and personal property that's available while you are living or traveling outside of the United States.
GEICO has provided overseas insurance through its affiliate, GEICO Financial Services, GmbH — since 1960. GEICO Financial Services, GmbH acts as your agent and arranges coverage from high quality overseas insurers who are licensed by the country you'll be living in.
Coverage is available to government employees, members of the military, tourists, expatriates and third-country nationals. Eligibility restrictions may apply in some countries.
What Does An Overseas Insurance Policy Cover?
Trying to figure out which coverages you want and need in a foreign language might seem about as straightforward as learning all of the dialects of Swahili. That's where we come in.
The policies we can help you set up may differ slightly by country, but in most locations liability, comprehensive and collision coverage are available. Cars used for business cannot be covered, and rental cars are only covered if your own car is being repaired. Also, your insurance coverage is for your car only — not someone else's.
To learn more, call us at 1-800-248-4998 from the United States or find a phone number for an agent in your country. You can also e-mail us at email@example.com.
What If My Coverage Needs To Be Changed?
Life's surprises follow you everywhere, no matter how many connections and layovers it takes. Should your coverage needs change while you're abroad, you can easily make changes to your existing policy, such as adding a car or new driver, or if you need a new kind of insurance, we'll be happy to help, just contact an office near you or give us a call at 1-800-248-4998.
Why GEICO?
We can arrange insurance in more than 200 countries and have several offices overseas. You can stop in to pay a bill, make a policy change, or maybe even get a recommendation for someplace that serves your favorite local dish!
You can also get the same low rates and high-quality GEICO customer service overseas that you get in the U.S. Plus, the policy we'll help you set up will include:
- Worldwide claims service
- Claims settled in U.S. dollars
- American style policies, written in English
- Premiums that do not increase during the policy period, even if the exchange rates change
- Convenient overseas offices
- Flexible payment plans
- Automatic renewal
- Multiple options for getting a quote.
Plus, once you return to the states, it's easy to set up a new state side policy, just call us at 1-800-248-4998 and select option 3.
Please note:
The above is meant as general information and as general policy descriptions to help you understand the different types of coverages. These descriptions do not refer to any specific contract of insurance and they do not modify any definitions expressly stated in any contracts of insurance. We encourage you to speak to your insurance representative and to read your policy contract to fully understand your coverages.

Things I liked:Works perfect, even with some overcast skies. Easy setup, just install a 9 volt battery and turn it on. Excellent value for the money. What others should know:Be careful and not pinch the wire inside, it has a tendency to move over to the edge when you are folding it back up for storage. If you are collecting data at far distance you need to be sure to set a concrete block of something in front of it that will stop of deflect a bullet or projectile, so as you don't accidentally shoot it. Just make sure you projectile goes over it between 4 to 6 inches for it to read properly. Things I liked:It does measure over a wide range of velocities. Things I would have changed:If it doesn't read a projectile, it can give err 01 or err 02. The only way to clear 02 is to turn it off and on again. What others should know:Mine is sensitive to lighting conditions, prefers to be out of the sun or indirect lighting. You must have proper lighting for it to work correctly. The best sensing range is a few inches above the photoreceptors. Always know your bullet path, and protect the front of the chrony or you will wind up shooting it! I actually clipped the back metal trying to figure out the proper height for the projectile above the sensors. I'm going to be use some ¼" thick aluminum pieces to cover the front of the display and back sensor to give it a little more protection. Things I liked:Easy set up and simple to operate. Withing 10 minutes of unpacking and reading directions I was shooting thru it.
Things I would have changed:Id add a cheap carrying case to keep the rods and chrony stuff together. Not a deal breaker if you dont. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

El Catrin
Online Reservations
When the restaurant got busy, the service was slow. We waited over 20 minutes before we saw our waitress to ask for the bill. There was also a little language barrier with the waitress. Food was very good. Good Margaritas too! Food portions were a little small for the price. Would not recommend going there hungry unless you order double entrees. Overall, everyone was very friendly, good atmosphere and cool decor.
More than enough guacamole made right at your table! If you're into seafood, we would highly recommend the Tacos Baja with Haddock!
Visited El Catrin on Wednesday, and thanks to the food and service, it now replaces Milagro as my new favourite Mexican restaurant in TO. I even ordered dessert (churros) even though I wasn't hungry.
The atmosphere and food at El Catrin were excellent! The decor is wonderful, the Margaritas made from scratch, not a mix, the tapas style menu allowed us to try several dishes and the server made it a wonderful experience before the theatre. This will be our "go-to" before the theatre.
Delicious food Very cool vibe and amazingly stylized. Did have to wait half an hour for table, but food and margaritas made up for it.
After a bit of a mix up on the way in and getting seated fairly late with respect to our reservation, we found El Catrin to have great service at the table. The food is delicious and we enjoyed ourselves amidst a very nice backdrop, and funky music.
Always love it at El Catrin. Great Margs, delicious food. Such a beautiful place.
A really cool place, great atmosphere and service. Great food and ambience. While prices were reasonable per dish and you could share your plates with your friends, portions were very small so you had to order a number of dishes, which resulted in a fairly expensive bill at the end of the night.. I love Mexican food, but other restaurants give you better portions for the money you spend -- so I will definitely check out other places. Towards 9 pm, got very noisy as the restaurant filled up.
Food was amazing!! Our server, Pamela was energetic and very knowledgeable. My taste buds had a great time! We will be back for sure. Can't wait until its summer so we can enjoy the spectacular patio.
We went for a date night to El Catrin on a Saturday. The place is BEAUTIFUL and so unique. The patio will be amazing in the warmer months- beautiful fire pits and great vibe outside. The restaurant was incredibly busy, but we made a reservation and were sat right away. Couple of notables: - Server was good, but made reference to the fact that he "didn't know much about the menu". LOL - Food was quick, and comes out when it's ready, as opposed to coursed out - Server recommended ordering in a tapas style, but we definitely felt it would work as well to order a taco entree (3 pieces) each, and maybe share something else as well. -Chips and guac are SO GOOD! Mixed table side. -Music is REALLY LOUD but we loved it. -Will definitely return.
Really fun spot. Great ambiance, excellent service and good food. I am excited to try out that great patio and margaritas next summer!
This was our first time at El Catrin and we weren't disappointed. We arrived a bit earlier than expected and they had no problems seating us immediately. The waitress was warm, funny and gave great recommendations on the food, wine and cocktails. The food was fresh and tasty. I loved that the food was arranged in a way to encourage sharing. I definitely would eat here again and have recommended it to family. They're planning on eating there in a couple of weeks. :)
I made a reservation for my girlfriend and myself there for her birthday. We really enjoyed our dining experience and the food they served. We've already told many of our friends and can't wait until our next meal at El Catrin. Cheers!
Been here twice ans both times the food and service has been excellent. Great for before theatre dining or just to chill out in the Distillery District. They have a very good thing going so far!
Went for brunch, had a very good experience overall. Portions on the smaller side but quality of ingredients and sophistication of the dishes is certainly present. Churro are a must - the best I've ever had. Beautiful space (jaw dropping mural) and service was efficient and friendly.
Our server was absentee for most of the lunch, one of our dishes was completely wrong, and she forgot one of the drinks entirely. The restaurant was also almost completely empty when we got there, so it wasn't like she was busy serving others.
we went to el catrin for the first time and the kids loved it. my only issue was that the portions were quite small considering the price they were charging. my husband ended up ordering two mains as a result. the guac is tasty but it's not the best i've had. food was very fresh and i would definitely recommend going for brunch on a weekend. i heard through a number of friends that they had had less positive experiences with the service, food, etc. during the weeknights so i was happy that we came out unscathed.
I wanted to take my boyfriend out for his birthday and I wanted it to be special -- El Catrin was the perfect place! Out server was friendly and made great suggestions and the food was delicious! It will definitely be a place that I come back to.
We already had dinner to El Catrin a couple of times when a friend of ours told ur they also did amazing brunches. So we tried it. So good. Think about it. Open Table reservations for brunch. In the distillery district. (Great place to walk around pre or post brunch) Great food. Great ambiance. Allows for big groups. Service is always extra nice and friendly. It's full of win.
I enjoyed the vibrant ambiance and the knowledgeable and friendly staff. It's a great place for a group of people willing to try new food and sample lots of options.
With the exception of an issue with the hostess giving away our table, the evening was great. Food was awesome, drinks were Awesome. Our server was great but then his shift ended so we didn't really have a server. But a good night overall!
Amazing, knowledgable, friendly staff that are very attentive and give great food recommendations.
The music was way too loud but the rest was sublime (well almost, our waitress look so bored and she discovered friendliness only at the time of the bill). A+++ for the food, the ambience and the crazy day of the dead inspired decor, the mural is worth the detour. We had the guacamole, freshly mixed at the table and a trio of seafood: Crab, lobster and shrimp all modern mexican flavored. One word for all of this: AWSOME!!!
Wow! Heard about this place from a trusted friend. It didn't disappoint. Great Mexican food, served tapas-style (i.e. smaller, sampling dishes), excellent margaritas (especially the one with Grand Marnier) and surprisingly very reasonably priced. We knew going in, it would be a loud and lively place. It's definitely not for a quiet, intimate dinner - so don't expect this when you book. We will go again for sure. Highly recommend this spot in a great part of the city (Distillery District).
Back for my second visit, and the food and service was as good as the first. The food was superbly crafted, and the service friendly and efficient.
We had a wonderful time dining here, there were 6 of us all coming from different cities to celebrate a birthday and have a little reunion. We had an amazing dining experience and could not have asked for more. What a fabulous restaurant with excellent service!
I had a great experience with a small group of friends at El Catrin. The food was delicious but the best thing about the restaurant is of course the artwork! Its just not a place to eat, its an experience.
Reservations are highly recommended. Mentioned if you have a stroller because there is limited seating if you have one. The aisles are kind of tight for a stroller. The fish in the fish tacos tasted very nice because it was crispy and light. It was a little spicy for me. I loved the watermelon juice. It was really refreshing. It tasted like there was fresh lime I'm it. Delicious. The guacamole and chips are quite addictive. Loved the kids menu.
As other reviews have already, El Catrin does NOT offer all the true Mexican flavours that so many people, myself included, long for. In general, I am tired of seeing so many variations on the taco, burrito, guacamole, etc. Someone just offer us true Mexican. Please! Where El Catrin excels at is providing an exciting dining experience in an area (distillery district) that has fallen asleep over the last few years. The food is tasty, however the flavours seem too similar, lack distinction and texture. After finishing your dinner you will likely think the same as me, the food was good but the vibe is the reason I would come back.
I came here for dinner on a Wednesday night with a friend for the first time, and we were both impressed by the food, service, and decor. Although the food wasn't the best I've ever had, the atmosphere was wonderful and we both loved the vibe.
Congratulations and thank you for giving Toronto a reall coolMexican restaurant and bar. Best tacos al pastor and Margaritas were to die for!... Can't wait to go back! Gracias
We were a table of 6. This is a place perfect for a group as the menu caters to trying various dishes on the menu. There is lots to choose from. The food was excellent and is definitely the best Mexican in the city. We will definitely be back to try other items. Definitely recommend the shrimp and lobster tacos, the beef tosdads and the burritos. The food was fresh, presented beautifully and the ambiance was wonderful. Can't wait to go again!
One of the still too few restaurants of the Distillery, El Catrin is a great place where to head for a party with family and friends. The large outdoor patio would be great for a summer event of fun; it is well heated with lamps and even on our November night it was a pleasnt spot to wait with drinks or even enjoy the whole meal. Sadly, outside the service was slow and spotty. Inside, the noise level goes up, but so does the decoration (the murals took 8 weeks to complete for two artists specially flown in from Mexico), as well as the feeling to join a party. Order tapas style, the (small) portions are subdivided in morsels; you'll need 3 or 4 appetizers, and that turns it inot an expensive mea. Excellent margaritas and cocktails.
I love El Catrin! I didn't think Mexican food could be so fresh, light and airy. The waitstaff know their menu (!) and make outstanding recommendations. The Baja Fish Tacos are amazing, and the fresh quacamole smashed in a mortar & pestle tableside is so delicious that it is hard to stop eating!
Located in the Distillery District, El Catrin is absolutely phenomenal. We went on a Friday night, the crowd was great and the atmosphere was energetic. Most importantly, the food and service alike were exceptional. Will be going back without a doubt, and will not hesitate to recommend to any friends and family.
I love the vibe and decor! Amazing food, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be going back!
Actually the best lamb I've had in years....same for their Margarita.
This place was a great place to impress a very important client. Luckily he loved Mexican Food and he had the best Guacamole of his life and So did my team and I. We loved how patient our server was Agnese, I hope this is your name.. sorry if I am wrong.. Ready to be impressed for your the money well spent.
This was our second visit to ElCatrin and we will definitely come back. Being in the Distillery makes it a great destination to bring guest from out of town. Once inside it has a great vibe and ambiance that is not found often in Toronto. The food is delicious and so fun for sharing. The watermelon/tuna ceviche is amazing, the halibut tacos are my favorite and the churros are to die for! On the negative, we waited over 10 minutes after being seated for anyone to come great us and another 10+ for drinks. However, after placing the food order the items arrived promptly and hot. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and it was a great time had by all.
Dine in "awe" in this gem located in the Distillery District. Wonderful food, staff and atmosphere.
Great drinks. Great spot for appetizers and drinks. Even though we went for dinner we would prefer to do just apps and drinks next time.
I made a reservation for dinner through Open Table and next time, I would definitely make a note in the requisite section to have a table on the main floor. Our table was on the second floor bridge, where despite the noise being much quieter, it was very warm and at times uncomfortable. Throughout the dinner, we would get blasts of warm air hitting us from several directions. The table side guacamole was fresh and tasty with all of the natural flavours. The rest of the food, was good, but lacked that additional burst of unique flavour that would set it apart from the other Mexican restaurants found throughout Toronto.
Compared to other Mexican restaurants, this one is awesome... did not disappoint! Good variety of food options ie. starters, tacos, burritos and mains. Fresh guac made right at the table was fantastic. The mains were awesome as well - the bone marrow beef /w tomatillo was amazing! Don't forget to save room for the dessert - the churros are the best I've ever had! Will definitely be going back (though given its popularity you need to make a reservation WELL in advance on busy nights)..
Went to El Catrin with my sisters and shared a pitcher of mango margaritas, guacamole, and three kinds of tacos - the pork, the chicken mole and the haddock. The pork and haddock tacos were particularly tasty. We also shared churros for dessert. The restaurant is really beautiful inside and we thought the patio looked lovely (but it's winter and we wanted to be warm inside). Our server was friendly (without being too familiar) and made sure we got all of our order. We did not feel rushed at all and really enjoyed the ambience as well as our food and drinks. There were lots of other patrons and lively background music, but we could still converse easily with one another which was nice. Will definitely go back. Be sure to make reservations!
Great spot, staff friendly and knowledgeable all seem to take great pride in the restaurant. Used open table to book first time and it was a breeze. would do it again and recommend it to others
Best Fish Tacos ever!!! Guacamole, mixed at the table, soooo good! Everything was fantastic, especially the service. Very upbeat, vibrant atmosphere. Fun music, lots to look at. Best dining experience in a long time. Going again asap.
It was a very cool atmosphere, and a nice option for the distillery district where the restaurants all seem similar
We were looking for a place to take the family during the Christmas market. It was great that they take reservations as lineups can be long at distillery restaurants during events. We really enjoyed the good and the decor but it is a bit pricey for a family with two kids and much more than we would normally want to pay. We realize it is Tapas but found the serving sized quite small especially for the price. We would definitely return without the kids and probably only for special occassions.
El Catrin hit the mark for décor, ambiance, service and food. A visually arresting, vibrant place with delicious tapas style authentic Mexican food. NO piles of shredded iceberg, cheap shredded cheese and tasteless tomatoes. Only delicious ingredients, superbly prepared and plated. El Catrin re-defined Mexican for us. And the music playlist was terrific. If there was a dance floor .... Look forward to trying the outdoor patio in the summer - it looks amazing. A lot of thought and care has gone into this restaurant.
A unique Mexican tapas format restaurant. Try the sopes, one of the best items on the menu.

Did your job turn you into a clockwatcher? Do you count the minutes to freedom, only to return to the same boring job the very next morning?
I was there, too. I used to hate my job, which led me to hate my entire life. In fact, hating our work is a problem of epidemic proportions.
80% of us dislike our jobs. Four out of every five of us wake up every weekday morning only to go to a job that bores us, annoys us, and brings us no satisfaction.
What can you do about it? How can you find a job that you actually want to go to? How do you find a job that you like?
Sometimes, the solution is easier to see when we look at the problem from the outside.

"Amiable Strangers"
Three distinct personalities, one goal: reach the moon.
- By Michael Klesius
- AirSpaceMag.com, May 21, 2009
Neil Armstrong was the first to know. Deke Slayton, the head of NASA's astronaut office, had pulled him aside in mission control on December 23, 1968, during the flight of Apollo 8, and asked him to command the first moon landing mission—or rather, the first attempt. There was no guarantee of succeeding on the first try.
Less than two weeks later, on January 4, Slayton called Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins into his office, where Armstrong was waiting, and informed them that they were the prime crew for Apollo 11. Armstrong (center, above) would command the mission, Aldrin (left) would be the lunar module pilot, and Collins would be the command module pilot. All three had flown on Gemini missions less than three years earlier.
Collins later coined the term "amiable strangers" for the Apollo 11 astronauts, noting that other crews had seemed to bond more readily than this one. The photo above was taken on January 10, 1969, a day after NASA announced that the three men would make the first lunar landing. See the photo gallery at right for more scenes from the weeks leading up to their July 16, 1969 launch.

While the astronauts were deserving heros of the Apollo project your series needs a section on one person in particular, George M. Low. It was he who met the challange of the disastrous fire that killed three astronauts and brought together the science and engineering that made the capsule workable.
George was originally brought from the Cleveland NASA lab to the Office of Manned Space Flight by Abe Silverstine. After the fire he was transferred to Houston to take over the design of the capsule. Without him the Moon landing may never have happened. After the landing and the instigation of the Space lab project he was made Deputy Administrator of NASA. His life story would be worth an article.

The data-debug utility is a part of CEDET, a CollectionOfEmacsDevelopmentEnvironmentTools.
This utility was written to help browse through complicated data structures in CEDET, such as EIEIO objects, Semantic Tags, Database search results, and many others.
The data-debug utility can be extracted from CEDET CVS data-debug.el though the default configuration uses functions found in the rest of CEDET. You can reconfigure data-debug-thing-alist
to exclude such items if desired.
Apparently Emacs 23 comes with CEDET, so you can just (require 'data-debug)
You can use data-debug as the default output of eval by binding it to M-:
like this:
(global-set-key "\M-:" 'data-debug-eval-expression)
If you write functions with complex output that need debugging, you can make them interactive with data-debug-show-stuff. For example:
(defun my-complex-output-fcn () "Calculate something complicated at point, and return it." (interactive) ;; function not normally interactive (let ((stuff (do-stuff))) (when (interactive-p) (data-debug-show-stuff stuff "myStuff")) stuff))
When using the eval binding above, you would get output like this:
M-: (list 1 2 3 4)
?#<list o' stuff: 4 entries> > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4
When using a tool like CEDET/Semantic, you might get some output like this:
M-: (semantic-current-tag)
?data-debug-eval-expression | Name: "data-debug-eval-expression" | Class: 'function | Position: 33553 -> 34769 in data-debug.el <live tag> | Position Data: #<overlay from 33553 to 34769 in data-debug.el> | Attributes: # :user-visible-flag : 't # :arguments : #<list o' stuff: 1 entries> | Properties: # unlink-hook : #<list o' stuff: 1 entries> # link-hook : #<list o' stuff: 1 entries> # unlink-copy-hook : #<list o' stuff: 1 entries> # secondary-overlays : #<overlay list: 1 entries>
In the data-debug buffer, using SPC
will expand or contract a line so you can move navigate down through complex structures without worrying about recursion, or looking at parts of the structure you don't care about.

How to Reach tho Speeders Some uninformed citizens of Flora have been criticising the city ad¬ ministration for what they appear to think is a failure on the part of the council and city olllcers to prosecute persons for fa.st driving of automo¬ biles on the streets of the city. The fact Is that the city has no authority to pass an ordinance regulating the speed of such vehicles, and the driv¬ ing of the same in other respects, nor to prosecute offenses aS that char¬ acter. Tliose matters are regulated entirely by the state law, under which cities are forbidden to pass such ordinances. The state law pre¬ scribes the speed limit for motor vehicles, and fixes the fines .for the violation of its provisions, and such offenses are re(iulred to be prosecuted by tbe State's Attorney, In lH«e man¬ ner as other criminal cases are prose¬ cuted. The city has no jurisdiction over such offenses at all. The state act provides that "no city, town or village shall have power to make any ordinance, by-laws or resolutions lim¬ iting or restricting the speed of motor vehicles or motor bicycles, and no ordinance, by-law or resolution here tofore or hereafter made by any city, within tlite state, by whatever name known or designated. In respect to or limiting the speed of motor ve¬ hicles or motor bicycles, sliall have any force, effect or validity, and they are hereby declared to be of no valid¬ ity or effect." From this it will be seen that the city offlcial.s are without power to proceed In these matter, and no criticism should attach to them on account of the violation of the speed limit fixed by the state laws. Any person witnessing any such viola¬ tions should report them to the State's Attorney, and make com¬ plaint, whereupon the offense would no doubt be prosecuted without de¬ lay, as some have been tn the past.

Qatar Calls Upon Harvard for Help in Establishing Law SchoolThe National Law Journal 2012-08-02 00:00:00.0 Harvard Law School's Institute for Global Law and Policy has formed a partnership with the Qatar Foundation, an economic development and education organization that plans to start a graduate law school in Doha. In addition to fostering research collaborations and exchanges, Harvard faculty will advise administrators on curriculum, admissions and additional administrative matters as they establish the new school. "It's an honor to have been asked to help advise the Qatar Foundation as it develops its plans to build a world class law school in Qatar," David Kennedy, a Harvard law professor who directs the institute, said in announcing the partnership. "Our own faculty development initiative to be launched this year will become a strong component in that broader effort and strengthen education in law and policy both in Qatar and the Arab region and beyond." The institute's leaders hope that Qatar will become a "hub" for legal scholars and research, Kennedy said. One aspect of the partnership will be workshops bringing together scholars of the Middle East, the first of which was slated for early January. Foundation officials hope the workshops will connect scholars of Islamic and Arabic law with their international counterparts. The Qatar Foundation plans to establish the law school at Hamad bin Khalifa University in Doha. The school will focus on three areas: a doctoral program, a research institute and a faculty-development program. The organization describes itself on its website as "an independent, private, non-profit, chartered organization" that was founded by Amir Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani in 1995, when he became head of state. "At the heart of this cooperation is Qatar Foundation's vision to establish a center of learning that will help revitalize legal education in the Middle East, and represent Islamic and Arabic legal traditions in the global dialogue on legal and governance issues," said foundation president Mohammad Fathy Saoud. Harvard aims to "nurture innovative approaches to global policy in the face of a legal and institutional architecture manifestly ill-equipped to address our most urgent global challenges," according to the institute website. Many U.S. law schools have been forming research partnerships with overseas law schools, in nods to globalization and the increasingly international legal profession. Few have established formal partnerships or collaborations with law schools in the Middle East. |


text: Home Culture 'Pariah' Filmmaker Scores Acclaim Writer-director Dee Rees tells The Root how her own coming-out story inspired the film. By: Linda Villarosa Posted: Dec. 27 2011 12:27 AM 0 Dee Rees (Getty Images) Pariah, a stunner of a movie that opens on Dec. 28, begins simply, with a quote from the late Audre Lorde: "Wherever the bird with no feet flew, she found trees with no limbs." That line comes from Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, the rapturous 1982 memoir that documents Lorde's rebirth as a lesbian and as an artist. It is the perfect way to open Pariah, a raw, affecting and finely drawn film about the sexual awakening of a 17-year-old teenager -- and the turbulence that follows her coming out as a lesbian. It looks at themes of friendship, family, identity and longing with a poetic subtlety lacking in most films today, but especially just about every African-American-themed movie that rolls into the multiplex. Pariah, which began as a student project and was shot in 18 days on a budget of less than $500,000, has blazed into this year's busy holiday film season with plenty of critical praise in tow. At the Sundance Film Festival, the drama, produced and distributed by Focus Features, attracted supporters and buzz and won the Excellence in Cinematography Award. Last month Pariah's writer-director, Dees Rees, was the surprise winner of the Gotham Independent Film breakthrough-director honor, and both Rees and star Adepero Oduye made the Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen Class of 2011. The love fest continued on Dec. 11 in a New York Times magazine cover story celebrating the season's hot films. Oduye, whose IMDB page really is just a page, was photographed in a splashy spread alongside the likes of Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, George Clooney and Viola Davis. Standing in the eye of the media storm, first-time director Rees is pinching herself. Her previous experience -- as intern script supervisor on Spike Lee's Inside Man and When the Levees Broke -- in no way prepared her for this dizzying rise. She wrote a first draft of Pariah's script in 2005 as a short and shot it as her thesis for NYU's Graduate Film program. In an interview with The Root, Rees, 34, calls the movie deeply personal. "This is the story I wanted to tell because it's something that I lived as I was coming out," says Rees, who was raised in Nashville, Tenn., and now lives in Long Beach, Calif. "A big part of my struggle was not just knowing that I loved women, but who I was in the world. I had to learn to be OK with myself, and I wanted to dramatize that." Like Alike, the central character in her film, Rees struggled with her parents about her sexuality. She remembers feeling like a pariah. "When I first came out, my parents tried to have an intervention," she says. They bombarded her with cards, emails and letters and Bible verses. "They thought I had changed, like I had come under some influence and I wasn't myself. "It took some time to get them to understand that my sexuality was not a choice," she continues. "And that I was the same person that I always had been." Growing up, Rees says, she found a home in books by African-American women. "I always felt a little awkward, but I didn't know how to articulate it," says Rees, who is personable, down-to-earth and still bookish. "My mom had this suitcase of books under the stairs where I could read anything I wanted. I immersed myself in Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara and Toni Morrison -- all this womanist literature."

[sweat]It's so annoying when I workout because I have my keys, phone, water bottle, credit cards...all of it! I usually shove most of it in my bra. A better way to do it is to use the Buddie Bra sports bra. It has pockets built in so things like your phone and money will be safe and you won't be uncomfortable. It's great for runners. They have a collection of colors and designs. |

In the picture on Amazon there are head phones hanging out of the hoodie so it looks like a mini person. There are some for other gadgets like iPads and the Samsung Galaxy phone! |

jazz tones to perfect '70s crunch and everything in between.
Simple Sophistication
The NewCastle comes dressed up in a sumptuous, carefully applied skin of cop-per-and-cream leatherette, accented by gold piping and metallic accents. The opulent look of the material is a little incongruous with the simplicity of the amp's circuit, but it adds an elegant, custom-made feel that's complimented by the super-solid 13-ply Baltic birch cabinet. Nice and light at 20 pounds, the head makes a cool mini stack when paired with the Jackson 1x12 dual-ported cabinet.
The NewCastle's front panel is dead simple: a pair of knobs for volume and tone, plus a single input. Around back you'll find speaker jacks with impedance selection and power and standby switches. A quick peek at the guts reveals top-qual-ity construction and components, including Mallory capacitors, Carling switches, and Neutrik jacks.
The closed-back speaker cabinet is home to a Celestion Alnico Gold speaker, a pair of vertically oriented, forward-firing ports, and a beefy steel handle that's recessed for easy stacking. My only quibble was with the softness of the cabinet covering, which feels and looks great, but seemed delicate enough to scratch easily in transport.
The closed-back cabinet has tremendous bass presence, even at low volumes, with the kind of wide dispersion you'd expect from a much larger enclosure. With the amp's tone knob at noon, I ran through some intricate, early Pearl Jam-like clean rhythms on the Les Paul's neck pickup and found that the amp's strong midrange and super-tight bottom end combine as a sweet baseline voice. Here, the amp feels alive with harmonic complexity. Its blooming character makes you want to linger on simple chord arpeggios and listen to your guitar ring with a tasty stew of fundamental notes and overtones.
Turning the Key I plugged in a Les Paul and set the volume knob to 9 o'clock to assess the amp's clean tones and was surprised by the NewCastle's output. The little 18-watter acts more like something in the 30-watt range.
Rock Out. Rock On...

Classic Italian Jewish Cooking starts with the ancient Italian adage Vesti da turco e mangia da ebreo ("Dress like a Turk and eat like a Jew"). In this definitive volume of Italian Jewish recipes, Edda Servi Machlin, a native of Pitigliano, Italy, a Tuscan village that was once home to a vibrant Jewish community, reveals the secrets of this delicate and unique culinary tradition that has flourished for more than two thousand years.
Originally introduced into the region by Jewish settlers from Judea, other Middle Eastern countries, and North Africa, Italian Jewish cuisine was always more than a mere adaptation of Italian dishes to the Jewish dietary laws; it was a brilliant marriage of ancient Jewish dishes and preparation methods to the local ingredients that relied on the imaginative use of fresh herbs, fruit, and vegetables. Fifteen hundred years later, with the influx of Iberian refugees, it was enriched by some Sephardic (from Spain and Portugal) dishes.
Here you'll find recipes for the quintessential Italian Jewish dishes -- from Goose "Ham," Spicy Chicken Liver Toasts, and Jewish Caponata to Sabbath Saffron Rice, Purim Ravioli, and Tagliatelle Jewish Style (Noodle Kugel); from Creamed Baccalà, Red Snapper Jewish Style, and Artichokes Jewish Style to Creamed Fennel and Fried Squash Flowers; from Couscous Salad and Sourdough Challah Bread to Haman's Ears, Honey Cake, and Passover Almond Biscotti.
Selected from Edda Servi Machlin's three widely admired books on Italian Jewish cuisine and filled with beautifully rendered memories from her birthplace, this rare collection of more than three hundred recipes is a powerful tribute to arich cultural heritage and a rare gift to food lovers. With a special section on Jewish holiday menus, Classic Italian Jewish Cooking is a volume to treasure for generations.

text: The Valve Linux console with SteamOS is official!http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/0...ware-for-2014/Following up on Monday's announcement of a general purpose, Linux-based, living-room-centric SteamOS, Valve announced that it is "working with multiple partners to bring a variety of Steam gaming machines to market during 2014, all of them running SteamOS." In addition, Valve said that it will be providing 300 prototype boxes to beta testers free of charge before the end of the year.While Valve has hinted about its plans for living room gaming hardware many times in the past, this is the first official announcement that the company will be working on hardware in the coming year. It's unclear just how involved Valve will be in the design and marketing of the newly announced Steam machines, though. Valve's role could range anywhere from direct input and manufacturing to merely providing the OS and general guidelines for its use.

Adapted for the stage by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings introduces children ages 8 and older to the world of magical realism with a story plucked from the imagination of Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez. Cruz's adaptation begins the day siblings Fefé and Momó discover a man—elderly and winged—has landed in their impoverished seaside village, coaxed there after the moon takes a mesmerizing midnight bike ride through the city streets. Though the pair decides the mysterious man is an angel in need, the town's grownups find themselves torn between worship and exploitation as they transform him into a freak show to bring wealth to their struggling hamlet.
When Ronni Delvalle grabs ahold of one of her mirrored studio's chrome poles, she feels more graceful, beautiful, and self-assured than when she's practicing any other type of dance or fitness. Fueled by a drive to share this empowering form of sensual exercise with women of all shapes and sizes, Delvalle and her a team of female instructors lead a variety of fitness and instructional pole-dancing classes designed to build confidence, tone muscles, and burn calories.
The team also conducts an aerial-yoga course that incorporates soft cloth hammocks suspended from the ceiling, offering a practical alternative to equestrian yoga, which requires students to form downward facing dogs on the backs of speeding Clydesdales.
Like its imaginative cocktails, Ricochet Bar & Lounge's décor mixes a wide variety of distinct elements to create an alluring final product. Tufted walls, purple marble accents, and reclaimed wood swirls around a 90-foot triangular bar that serves as the lounge's centerpiece. Rotating installations of video art flash across TV screens, and curated drink coasters designed by local artists offer a hip place to rest glasses or elbows during arm wrestling contests. Ricochet's food menu adds to the artistic ambiance, mollifying pangs of hunger with mini paninis, guava and lime lollipop ribs, and other innovative small plates.
CitySightSeeing Miami encourages tourists not just to see the sights around them, but also to explore them.

When the urge strikes to linger at a tour stop, guests can hop off their double-decker buses and roam alone.

Get your money's worth when it comes to batteries
Saving Money on Power Tools
Power tools can make certain task very easy, but they can be pricey. Recently, there have been advancements in the power tools industry. Companies have introduced lithium-ion (LI-ION) based batteries.
Traditionally power tools have been Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh), or Nickel Cadmium (NiCD). Lithium batteries weigh less. They charge at a much faster rate, however, it comes at a cost.
Recently, the price has dropped on LI-ION power tools. When they first were introduced, you could easily spend over $200 dollars on an 18 volt drill. Now, you can find them for under $200, but in the long run it is not worth it.
