Sunset Drive-In Movie Theatre
Like a blast from the 1950s, this roadside drive-in is the real thing. Located in a big empty field just off the highway, it's easy to get to and the whole experience is a hoot. The films are typically family fare, with a double feature consisting of two popular current films for a price that's as retro as the theater itself. The sound system is a modern one that allows the film's sound to come through the car stereo. This means you don't have to have your window open to accommodate speakers, a nice touch given that temperatures can drop after dark if the fog comes in. They sell typical movie fare like popcorn, candy and drinks, and a limited menu of snacks such as nachos and hot dogs
Planning Notes
Be prepared for cold night air. Bring lots of blankets, jackets and scarves in case it gets chilly. The fog can come in or the wind can come up in this location close to the coast.
Just the Facts
Hours: Open weekdays and weekends all year. Call for film schedule; typically there are two films, one at 7 or 7:30, the other at 9 or 9:30 p.m.
Fees: Under $10

Pismo Beach and Pismo Dunes
This off road area is among the most popular and unique of California State Parks. The 5 1/2 miles of beach open for vehicle use and the sand dunes available for off highway motor vehicle recreation are attractions for visitors from throughout the United States
Oceano Dunes is the only California State Park where vehicles may be driven on the beach. Passenger cars can easily drive on the northern portion of the beach.
Four wheel drive vehicles are recommended for driving to the camping and off highway vehicle use areas in the park.
Beach wheelchairs are available for loan at the Pier and Grand Avenue entrances to the beach.
Surfing, swimming, surf fishing, horseback riding and bird watching are popular activities.
The recreation area is located in Oceano, three miles south of Pismo Beach off Highway 1.
One mile south of the Pier Avenue beach ramp is Post 2, a post on the beach which marks the beginning of the off-highway vehicle riding and camping area.
OHV's must be transported to this point before unloading. Any areas on the beach or in the dunes that are fenced or signed are closed to vehicular use because they either contain sensitive plant and animal life or are private property.

Whale Watching Tours
Whale watching in California is a popular activity and on the Central Coast whale watching vacation tours are not to be missed. Twice a year the California Gray Whale migrates from its feeding grounds in the Bering Straits to the breeding grounds off Baja California and back again. Morro Bay is a great place to view the whales along their journey. When you stay at the Embarcadero Inn you'll be within walking distance of a popular and experienced local whale watching vacation tour operator. Experienced local guides will make your whale watching vacation tour a memorable one.
The Morro Bay National Estuary and Harbor make up the crown jewels of the Central Coast. While many wetlands in California suffer, the Morro Bay ecosystem thrives. Home to dozens of endangered species, it is also a spawning ground, nursery for marine fisheries, a commercial fishing harbor and a center for recreation and education. Guests of the Embarcadero Inn will enjoy harbor views and being in close proximity to the estuary. And just down the street, guests can join a guided boat tour of the estuary.

San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties make up the southernmost district of the Central Coast AVA. There are 27,600 acres of wine grapes planted in San Luis Obispo County and 16,600 acres planted in Santa Barbara County, totaling more than 44,000 acres. Together they make up 7.4 percent of the total state winegrape crush. The number one wine grape variety in San Luis Obispo County is Cabernet Sauvignon with 8,600 acres. Merlot is second with 4,200 acres. There are about 110 wineries in the County. In Santa Barbara County, Chardonnay is the predominant grape with 7,100 acres, and Pinot Noir follows with 3,200 acres. There are almost 90 wineries.
The city of Paso Robles, situated 20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, is in San Luis Obispo County, halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The area is characterized by warm, clear days, generally unencumbered by clouds, fog or severe winds. Nighttime temperatures drop by approximately 40 degrees, cooled by a marine layer that moves over the region after sunset. Proximity to the ocean, orientation of the numerous canyons and valleys, and varying elevations produce diverse macroclimates, allowing production of both cool and warm loving winegrape varieties. There are four general soil associations, primarily formed from the weathering of granite, serpentine, shale and sandstone.

Farmer's Market on Thursday Night in San Luis Obispo
For more than 30 years, Thursday nights Farmers' Market has been the San Luis Obispos signature event.
A large section of the downtown is blocked off for three hours of festival-like fun, and there is something here for everyone. One end of the market is dedicated to produce, and the other showcases local merchants and restaurants.
Unfortunately, you will need to leave Fido at home.
San Luis Obispo's legendary Thursday night Farmers' Market runs from 6-9 p.m. Local farmers set up stands along the Higuera Street downtown to sell seasonal fruits, specialty herbs, organic vegetables, fresh flowers and the famous Central Coast barbeque tri-tip sandwiches.
Local musicians provide much of the entertainment, setting up concerts on adjoining streets allowing visitors and locals to drift to the tune of a myriad of sounds at their own pace. Most downtown merchants also enjoy the festivities by extending their hours for evening visitors. You will delight in the sights, sounds and smells that make farmers market one of the flagship experiences of the SLO life.

I can play tonight if people are around, after 11.
Didn't see anybody last night as of about 11:15PM. Stuck around until about midnight playing MyCareer and never saw anyone.
Back in the day, Tues/Thurs/Sun were the typical nights people were around. Is that still the case? If not, when are you usually on?

PDF Mod Reworks PDF Pages
Gabriel Burt, desktop developer at Novell, has reported progress with his PDF Mod tool. The new GNOME program allows for switching pages and other useful trickery with PDF documents.
In its new version 0.4, PDF Mod can not only remove, extract, rotate and reorganize PDF pages, but it also allows drag-and-drop of external documents and exporting of JPG and PNG graphics. Pages can be reordered across multiple open documents.
Burt and his colleagues fixed a number of bugs and translated the GUI into 10 languages. The concise user guide was translated into five of them.
Further details on PDF Mod, which had its first ever release the end of July, are on the live.gnome.org project page. The app is written in Microsoft's C# and therefore depends on the Mono runtime environment. In addition to a tarball of the GPL source code, packages for openSUSE 11.1 and SLED 11 are available on the project page.

For Instructors
So, you think you're reading your students?
06/07/2011 2:45 pm
Sitting up there on my Spinner® in front, facing the students as they take my class, I tend to think I?m doing a good job of ?reading? them. I watch them closely for signs that point to unsafe riding, ineffective training, risks, focus, and finally accomplishment. I try to identify areas that beg attention and likewise encouragement or praise. I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the class (well, not literally of course, that?s what the heart rate monitors are for!) and make changes in my planned profile if necessary. But man can I blow it, sometimes. Take today, for example. There?s a young woman who comes to my class about once a week. She struggles with the class and masks her intentions as well as reactions to the work and the music by looking down and responding slowly if at all to any general corrections. Time for true confessions here. To be honest (and to my shame), I read her reactions as rejecting and uncooperative. She insists on the wrong hand position, persists in dropping her head to look down, and rarely varies her cadence or reaches down to touch the resistance knob. I have wondered if she has too much resistance in use because she pedals so slowly. I have reached out to her by being friendly before and after class, have rechecked her bike fit and have politely and privately made encouraging comments to her. I always get the feeling that I just wasn?t connecting with her. How wrong could I be?! Today I subbed for a class and she set up her bike front and center. The class had not yet begun and I was checking in with everyone when she literally blurted out the following: ?My son is 5. He just learned to ride without his training wheels. I rode with him! I could never have done this before. It?s all because of Spinning®!? Well, knock me over and shame on me. It turns out that this young woman is basically shy. She seems to have low self-confidence and is struggling with her fitness. I believe she?s a single mom and this moment was extremely meaningful to her. It turns out that she had spent the day on a lovely bike path along with her parents ? all had rented bikes for the afternoon. She continued to participate in the class as she always does but this time I saw something new in her. I saw the happiness and hope that her experience had brought to her. That she tagged it to her Spinning® classes is simply an added bonus. She gave me a gift, a reminder, that things are not always as they appear. I will continue to be attentive to my students and will continue to try to recognize that which I need to know. However, I will remind myself NOT to assume that I have ?read? someone correctly. I will not become careless or critical ? or, at least, I will try not to. Wow, we are so fortunate. Here we think we are teaching others when, in fact, they are teaching us!

Research Interests
Vaccine Development and Evaluation
Infectious diseases remain major causes of morbidity and mortality in human populations. Prevention of infection or illness by means of immunization is considered one of the greatest public health accomplishments of all times. We are interested in the development and evaluation of a number of vaccines, with a particular emphasis on prevention of respiratory infections and other emerging infectious diseases. Our group is involved in both the preclinical and clinical stages of vaccine development, including phase I to phase IV clinical trials. Recent research activities have focused on the development of live attenuated and improved inactivated influenza virus vaccines, including 2009 H1N1 vaccines and other candidate vaccines for control of pandemic influenza (H5, H7, and H9). We are also exploring immunization of pregnant women to protect both the mother and her baby against influenza and pertussis. Major goals for improved vaccines include enhancement of mucosal and cell-mediated immune responses. Several approaches are being explored to achieve these goals, including topical administration of antigens (oral or intranasal), increasing the dose of antigen, combined topical and parenteral immunization, and evaluation of candidate adjuvants. Other activities include evaluation of vaccines for prevention of smallpox, cytomegalovirus and rotavirus infections; and development of a human challenge model for Norovirus infection which can be used to evaluate vaccines and other control measures

The Santa Cruz Wharf Celebrates 100 Years!
The Wharf celebrates its 100th Anniversary with a series of events throughout 2014. Check out our list of UPCOMING EVENTS!
The opening of the municipal wharf, built as a result of a $172,000 bond issue, was dedicated with great fanfare on December 5, 1914. Composed of over 2000 70 ft. Douglas fir pilings driven 21 feet into the ocean floor, the wharf was 2,745 feet long. The wharf was actually the sixth wharf -- preceding it were the Cowell Wharf, the Gharky (yes, this is the correct spelling!) Wharf, the Railroad Wharf, the Connecting Wharf, and the Pleasure Pier. None of the existing wharves could serve deep-water ships. So, the current Municipal Wharf was constructed in 1914, with its end bent to the west for a steamship dock and freight warehouse. The wharf rail line was shifted to the Municipal Wharf, and the old Railroad Wharf became part of a sardine cannery before being demolished in 1922. Here are more history notes by local historians on the six wharves. Graphic of wharves timeline.

Santa Cruz Wharf Study Underway
As the Santa Cruz Wharf approaches its 100th birthday in 2014, the City is embarking on a study of the half-mile long landmark to identify structural improvements and increase economic opportunities. The Wharf Master Plan will lay out a comprehensive vision for the design of buildings and public spaces, create linkages with nearby educational and recreational activities such as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center, and identify repairs and upgrades to the Wharf necessary to see it through to its next major anniversary. The study, conducted by ROMA Design Group over the next 12-18 months, is being underwritten by a grant from the Economic Development Administration (EDA). A series of public workshops to solicit input will be held over the coming months. For more information contact Norm Daly of the City's Economic Development Department at 831-420-5109 or email@example.com.

Bernadette 2008
- Scottish Art
This film is a captivating portrait of the charismatic political activist, Bernadette Devlin. In the late 1960s Devlin was a prominent figure in the student-led group People's Democracy and in 1969, at the age of twenty-one, she became the youngest female British MP. Campbell has pieced together vintage film clips, sourced from British and American news archives, alongside animation and a scripted voiceover. The result is an intriguing interplay which builds an absorbing portrait of a passionate individual through the eyes of the media. As Campbell commented, "I wanted to faithfully represent Devlin... Yet I worked with mediated images of her and writings about her. What I produced can only ever be a selection of these representations…"

Real World Radio: "They Shall Not Pass"
Uruguayan environmental activist warns about advance of agribusiness and land grabbing in the world
"The policies of our governments have not really tried to address the structural causes of the food crisis, but on the contrary, they encouraged what is causing even more trouble: the advance of agribusiness and land grabbing", said activist Karin Nansen, member of the executive committee of Friends of the Earth International.
"Today, the food system is increasingly controlled by a few companies. They control everything, from seeds to what is sold in supermarkets, to what reaches our tables", said Nansen.
"And now these same companies are beginning to control land. They are the ones who define what is produced, how we do it and how the products are distributed. And these companies are also the ones who decide the prices of food", she added.
The activist, who is also coordinator at REDES – Friends of the Earth Uruguay, gave a presentation called "Expansion of agribusiness and land grabbing" at the international conference "Climate change, territories and social movements", held in San Salvador, from November 5-6, 2012. The conference was organized by Friends of the Earth International through CESTA-Friends of the Earth El Salvador.
Real World Radio covered the conference and is still publishing some of the most relevant presentations and audio. Members of grassroots organisations, communities and different social movements of Central America participated in the event, in addition to hundreds of representatives of Friends of the Earth groups from the five continents. Over 500 people from 80 countries attended the meeting, the purpose of which was to share knowledge and experiences of defending territories, vizualising the cases of resistance against transnational corporations in the region, and cases of sovereignty building and survival practices to confront socio-environmental conflicts and inappropriate measures promoted by regional economic forces.
The conference was also organised by multiple social and environmental networks from Central America, especially the Movement of Victims and People Affected by Climate Change and Megaprojects (MOVIAC).
In her presentation, Nansen made reference to the severe food crisis of 2007 and
2008, which saw 100 million people starving around the world. Around 1 billion people are starving worldwide today.
The environmentalist talked about land grabbing to grow soy, tree monoculture plantations for carbon offsetting schemes, among others, and regretted the massive use of agrotoxics by agribusinesss. The expansion of these agribusiness and land grabbing are global phenomena, but they especially affect the global south. It is "terrible" in Latin America and Africa, highlighted Nansen.
However, there are reasons to be optimistic. "The good news is that the food crisis isn´t larger because peasants, indigenous peoples, black communities, family production, produce food consumed by human beings", said the activist. Karin Nansen quoted the Erosion, Technology and Concentration Group (ETC Group) who work on global socio-economic and environmental issues, related to the new technologies and especially about the impacts of technology on indigenous peoples, rural communities and biodiversity. According to the ETC Group "50 per cent of food is produced by these small production units", said Nansen. "(…) The good news is that peasant agriculture continues supplying food to the world. That´s why it is essential to defend the permanence of indigenous, black communities, peasant agriculture and fisherfolk in their territories; defending their permanence is what will save us", she added.
By the end of her presentation, Nansen highlighted that "the resistance space is in those territories where you are, this is why we have to come together in this struggle to defend every piece of territory in this world, (…) it is a struggle for the future of humankind". "Our peoples continue feeding the world. These businesses want other things, they want to take over our lands. We have to do everything in our power, we have to come together in a joint struggle at international level, to stop them. They shall not pass", concluded the Uruguayan activist.

Dan Chabanov will take his spot at the start just behind the best in the country.
By DANIEL McMAHON
Dan Chabanov isn't a favorite to win the cyclocross national championship in Madison, Wisconsin, this Sunday. The honor of being called a favorite goes to guys like Jonathan Page, Ryan Trebon, Tim Johnson, and Jeremy Powers.
And Chabanov, 24, won't enjoy the benefit of a front-row call-up.
He didn't fly to the Midwest for the big day, either. Instead, he caught a lift Wednesday morning in a rented passenger van in which he and a half-dozen fellow cyclocross racers—and 10 bikes and 16 sets of wheels—made the 20-hour drive from New Jersey. To keep himself entertained on the long trip he updated his Tumblr, dubbed Bonedeth, with photos from his phone.
But Chabanov, who was born in Russia and grew up in New Jersey and New York, doesn't much care about all that. He's simply happy to go and race with the cream of the sport.
"Every once in a blue moon on the first lap I'll make that lead group and I'll sort of be in the same few corners with them," Chabanov said. "And that's cool.
"But I don't really base my race around that. If I try to race their race it's not going to end well for me. If I race my race I can guarantee the best result I can possibly get. I just have to concentrate on that."
In his first go at nationals last year, Chabanov crashed on the opening lap. He said he just couldn't get it together. Nationals were held in Bend, Oregon, which meant he had to fly cross-country. Not a plus.
"I was just all over the place," he said. "That particular 60 minutes of racing was not good for me and I was pulled with three laps to go."
Still, he beat half the competition. Not bad for someone who'd been racing 'cross seriously for about a year.
Chabanov, who's worked as a New York City bike messenger for years, has tried pretty much every discipline of cycling, and he's excelled at all of them. He recently won the New York State cyclocross championship, he's placed well in endurance mountain-bike races, and he's proven himself on the road as a Cat. 1 rider. He's a two-time winner of the Red Hook Criterium.
This time around at nationals he's looking to go a little better. He'd like to finish on the lead lap, meaning he'll fight the pain in his legs and lungs so that he doesn't get passed by the leaders.
"I don't think it'll be an issue because I've been racing top-caliber fields all year. But we'll see.
"I feel like top 30 is realistic," he said. "That'd be phenomenal. I'd be really psyched for that."
Chabanov, who races for the RGM-Richard Sachs cycling team, has battled on the highly competitive New England 'cross circuit this year, and he's gotten top-10s in some of those races. But he's keeping things in perspective and his ego in check. He hasn't raced since December 12th, and with nationals this year moving from early December to January, he's been at a disadvantage, having missed out on racing in recent weeks.
On the plus side, New York City has had a mild winter with none of the blizzards of last year. Chabanov's been able to go out training when he likes.
But weather is only one piece of the puzzle in prepping for nats.
"It's been hard to stay motivated. I mean, who does motor pacing in December?"
The experience of racing nationals
What's it like going from racing local and regional races to lining up on the national stage next to the best riders?
"I don't really try to stress too much about it. I'm going to be riding my race and they're going to be riding theirs.
"They raise the level and raise the prestige of the event, but they don't really change how that 60 minutes plays out for me."
A touch anxious and perhaps a tad superstitious, Chabanov avoids looking at course previews. He isn't on Twitter. Previews do nothing but stress him out, he said. And he doesn't listen too much to what others are saying in the build-up to big events. He just likes to show up and ride the course and see it for himself. It helps keep him calm.
"The thing about nationals is, yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. Yes, it's a big race. It's important and it's going to be a lot of fun. But on the flip side it's only 60 minutes, one race out of my entire season. And it's the last one.
"One race isn't going to determine the quality of the season I've already had. Which I'm very happy with."
It's icing on the cake.
But does he ever dream about getting an incredible result?
"For guys like me who'll most likely not be on the podium, I'm not fighting for that jersey. I'm going for the experience.
"And if I get a good result, great. If not, no big deal."
Sure enough, for Chabanov it'll soon be time to take a break from the bike and look forward to road racing.
Whatever his result Sunday, he's going to celebrate with his fellow road-trippers.
"There's a reason the van's not driving back till Monday."
Enough said.

By DANIEL McMAHON
With the end of the cyclocross season fast approaching, the top U.S. riders head to Madison, Wisconsin, this week for the national championships to decide who will win the stars-and-stripes jersey. Jeremy Powers, the top-ranked American rider this year, goes into the race as one of the big favorites. Bicycling caught up with him this week to talk about nationals as well as his rise to the top of the sport.
Bicycling: You seem to have had bad luck at nationals in the past, and you crashed late in the race last year, finishing third to Todd Wells and Ryan Trebon. Who do you see as your main rivals this year, and how do you feel going into the race?
Jeremy Powers: Well, we're going to see who's the best rider on the day. Jonathan [Page] and Ryan are riding really well. For myself, I just hope that it goes well. I've got good form but I'm not thinking about January 8th only. I have four big races left: nationals, a couple world cups [in Europe], and worlds. I've trained really hard all year so I want to put that to good use. So nationals is on the radar, but I'm trying to look past it a little bit. Jonathan is on the tear right now, and Ryan, too, so I'm sure you're going to see some snap from those guys that I won't have, but I know the work I've put in and I feel really confident in my fitness.
Bicycling: Nationals moved from December to January this year. What has that meant for you?
Powers: It's easier for me. Just not having to go to Europe in December and then being able to race here. I can train and get ready for the end of the year. It's very convenient for me. I'll go do nationals, the two world cups, and worlds all in one last block. Whereas before it was go do nationals in December, then go to Europe, and you were looking at a gap in racing.
For me in Europe it's hard because I don't have all the resources. I don't have a house that has every single thing I need. I don't know all the roads. I don't have a scooter for motor pacing. Everything just takes a lot longer. That all makes it harder for me to train. I enjoy being home during this period, then going over for the last few races. It's good nationals are in line with European nationals now, too. Otherwise, we'd have nationals in December, then go over after Christmas and just sit around because there's no racing at that time. Now we're on the same schedule as these other riders we're competing against there. The other thing too is that we now having a longer season in the States, which is really good for the growth of the sport.
Bicycling: At the top level of the sport in the U.S., there are a handful of riders—yourself, Wells, Tim Johnson, Ryan Trebon, and maybe a couple of others. You're all friendly with one another but also very competitive when it comes to racing. Is there ever any tension?
Powers: It's funny. With Ryan and me, we're looking for the same thing, and I want to be the best cyclocross racer. But you don't get to see everything that goes on out there—it's one reason I hope cyclocross grows in terms of coverage. Like Ryan will put me into the barricades, or Tim [Johnson] takes a corner wide and I have to tell him at the finish, like, "Hey, what was that?" When we're out there we can see who's the best on the day but we still race. Like this past weekend [in Chicago], Ryan smoked me in the sprint finish and I was pissed. It takes me a minute and I take a deep breath. But I know it's one weekend. It doesn't take me that long to reset.
Our attitudes as Americans here is that we keep it pretty chill. With the road stuff and with 'cross in Belgium, I honestly don't think it's as much fun. And maybe it's not supposed to be fun. People might see it like, "These guys are a bunch of jokers and not serious competitors." But I can promise you I'm just as serious of a competitor. If you look at any of those guys on the start line, they're straight-faced the whole time. I don't have a relationship with those guys; they don't ask me how I'm doing. [Laughs] It's just a totally different mindset than the European mentality.
Bicycling: You've had your best 'cross season to date, with lots of wins at home and good results in Europe. Are you having fun out there, or is it pressure all the time to get results?
Powers: It's been all that. We have a lot of fun on the team. We have a really good system. At first I thought it would be harder than it was, having switched teams [from Cannondale–Cyclocrossworld.com to Rapha-Focus]. The new program has pushed me to be my best. It's definitely been my best season if you look at my world cups, and I won the USGP [US Gran Prix of Cyclocross], which was great, to be consistent from start to finish.
That's the thing: If I can't win nationals, it's great to be consistent all year long. If I'm good in September and good in February, then for me that's an accomplishment in itself. If get the jersey one year, that's awesome. Every race I said I wanted to do well at I've able to do well at. For any athlete, to say you want to win it and you win it, that's a huge accomplishment.
Bicycling: Are you at the height of your career?
Powers: Well, I'm 28. I don't know how much stronger I'm going to get. But I definitely think I'm getting to the point where I have to bear fruit, right? Like, this is it. You know, 29, 30, 31, those are the years for a pro cyclist. Obviously, after that there are guys who have tons of success: Lance [Armstrong], [Chris] Horner, [Fabian] Cancellara. There are so many guys who kick ass.
You know, when I used to race for Stu [Thorne] at Cyclocrossworld, it was like, "Powers, stop putting so much pressure on yourself and just relax. You've got so much time compared to everybody else. You're just pushing yourself so much." But that's just in my genetics, to consistently be the best that I can be. I feel like I'm in a great place. I definitely feel I'm at a point in my career that I feel happy with. I don't know if it's the height yet. [Laughs]

The Last of LugRadio
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Jono Bacon recently announced that the LugRadio Live UK show will be the final show. In his announcement, Jono said, "I am massively proud of what we have managed to achieve. Over 100 shows, 7 full-time presenters and countless guest presenters, 200+ hours of audio, 100+ guests, 2million+ downloads, 1000+ forums members, 40000+ forums posts, 5 live events in two countries, 5000+ emails to the show and an incredible community."
Jono explained that the LugRadio team wanted to end the show on a high note. He wrote, "In a nutshell, we have decided that LugRadio has had a good run for the last four years and five seasons, and a show such as ours has always faced the risk of getting old and tired unless the formula is changed to keep it fresh."
Meanwhile, Jono is keeping busy with his new Free Culture project, Severed Fifth.

"The quality of this embosser is amazing. It looks great & is easy to use and is made out of quality materials. I bought it for my business & I love it. Brilliant purchase. Absolutely love it!"
"We love this address stamp. It represents our sweet home and everyone always comments on it. The design and the quality of the stamp & ink is fabulous."
"This is a great embosser! I personally haven't used tons of embossers, but I ordered this one and love it. Sturdy construction, solid clean print - just great!"
"I was a little worried about ordering this stamp without being able to see a proof before hand, but it turned out great! Exactly what I had envisioned. The other great thing was how quickly it arrived. Very fast turn around. Love my new stamp!!!"
"In the review, you can't view your final design with your name and address and of course I had a TYPO! :( Really bums me out! Now I have a stamp that is not entirely correct! Bummer!"

Batavia seeks funds for Fox shoreline improvements
By Linda Girardi For The Beacon-News January 14, 2013 2:34PM
Updated: February 16, 2013 6:09AM
BATAVIA — The city is seeking funding from the Kane County Riverboat grants to conduct a redevelopment plan for the Fox River shoreline from the North Batavia dam south to Clark Island.
Aldermen have authorized applying for a $50,000 matching grant to hire consultants for a River Corridor Redevelopment Plan to address shoreline erosion that is occurring in segments of the river, improved access and utilization of the river shoreline as a resource, as well as natural plant habitat and maintenance.
City Administrator Bill McGrath said some action is necessary in the next several years to deal with the erosion occurring along the bank of the river.
"Good stewardship requires us to try to keep our riverbanks in a condition that, at a minimum, does not harm the river," McGrath told aldermen.
McGrath said the importance of the river continues to reverberate during community discussions of downtown redevelopment.
"The fact that the river passes through our urban section requires strategies that include more than erosion," he said.
"It involves the different treatments of the riverbanks, basically whether particular sections should remain 'natural' to appreciate the river in its own form or 'hard-edged,' which ... opens opportunities for a closer relationship to it through elements like overlooks, patios, decks, fishing platforms, launching areas, general seating and wildlife observation blinds."
McGrath said there have been other discussions about the overall look of the riverbanks.
"This project would be an opportunity to obtain help from experts to arrive at a permanent, sustainable plan for how both the natural and hard-edged banks are to be planted and maintained," he said.
McGrath said the implementation of any plan would take years and require further attempts to obtain grants, which may include the formation of a "stewardship group" to help raise awareness and develop a stronger sensitivity to the river.
The city applied jointly with the Batavia Park District, which is an owner of a significant amount of actual river frontage. The county awards riverboat grants in the spring.

What's Happening
Other applications are using the same ephemeral port as the Sophos Update Manager (Port 51234) and after following article KBA65930 "How to change the port which Sophos Update Manager (SUM) uses to communicate with the Remote Management System agent" and rebooting the server, the port conflict returns.
The Sophos Agent log shows an error like:
An uninitialized socket was created. Failed to connect to the SUM host: connection was refused
An uninitialized socket was created. Failed to connect to the SUM host: connection was refused
First seen in Sophos Enterprise Console 4.x
Operating systems Windows 2003 and Windows 2008
Other 3rd-party applications are using ephemeral ports in the same range as the Sophos Update Manager and happen to use the same port that SUM has been configured to use. On reboot, the port set in article KBA65930 is used by a third party application and as a result the Sophos Update Manager can't communicate with the Remote Management System (RMS) Agent.
You will need to configure a reserved port for Sophos Update Manager so that this port does not get assigned to another application.
Microsoft have a number of knowledge base articles detailing the steps required to perform this task:

Peter G. Hillebrand
Laguna Niguel, CA
"With the help of my wife and daughter, we just stuffed a fresh 434 Dart small-block roller into our ride, which also produced an impressive 635 hp at Westech Performance," Peter Hillebrand says. Before this rebuild, it pulled 678 hp. However, the camshaft and matching valvetrain proved to be a bit much for the street. Even though they've toned down the heat, their powerplant still runs well into the 10s, and they enjoy ripping down Pacific Coast Highway.
