Pizza Port
135 N. Coast Highway 101, Solana Beach
4026 30th Street, North Park
I write about beer and food. As anyone who's really invested in these mediums might guess — hell, as anyone who has ever had any good beer and/or food would suppose — I am privy to taste occurrences that inspire me to go straight from plate and glass to my trusty laptop to share the glories of extraordinary sensory experiences with my readers. It's rare. As anybody who reads my column (or leaves diatribes in the comments section about what a tough SOB I can be), I am not easily won over, which makes glowing reviews from yours truly all the more worth vesting stock in. So, know that what you are about to read is as legit as it gets — a recount of brews so exceptional, after quaffing them, I spent a couple hours getting my head around them, then rushed right to my keyboard to pound out much deserved accolades for their crafter, Devon Randall of Pizza Port.
Randall took over the Pizza Port chain's oldest brewpub in Solana Beach (135 North Highway 101, Solana Beach) early last year. People make a big deal out of the fact she has two X chromosomes, and yes, it's fantastic to see more women ascending the ladder within the brewing industry, but as a journalist and consumer, gender matters little to me. Good beer, on the other hand, means everything, and this brewer is putting out exceptional product, as was evidenced in the septet of ales she presented during a brunch last Sunday at Toronado in North Park.
When presented with beers in a multi-course tasting format, the first thing I do is snatch up the menu and mar it with inky notations on the composition of the beers to my personal opinions on everything from flavor and mouthfeel to highlights and shortcomings. I also affix a score ranging from one to ten for each beer (needless to say, I keep the menus out of sight so as not to tip off on-hand brewmasters and fellow patrons). Yesterday was no different in that I adhered to my typical system, but for the first time in the nearly decade I've been doing this, every beer scored over eight and an unprecedented three beers scored near perfect, each hitting 9.5. For a guy deemed perhaps the toughest judging beer journalist in a town rife with quality beer, this is something worth sharing. So, without further ado, here I go.
The first of the near-max-scorers will come as no surprise for those familiar with Pizza Port's hoppy legacy. An imperial India pale ale (IPA) called Citra-R-Ama, it harnesses the orangey, grapefruit properties of Citra hops, along with some Amarillo, to produce a juicy IPA that's beefy on the front end and dry as a bone on the finish. Powerful, yet refreshing, it is everything the modern-day hophead is looking for and, bonus, it's not some limited edition wonder. According to Randall, it's an everyday offering at her coastal post.
Next up was Beer Hunter, a sour that was collaboratively brewed by Randall with Pizza Port Ocean Beach head brewer Ignacio Cervantes and Lee Chase, the owner of Automatic Brewing Company (as well as Blind Lady Ale House and Tiger! Tiger! Tavern). Randall provided a "preview" of her version, which was aged for nine months on Rainier cherries in wine barrels from Palumbo Family Vineyards (in my opinion, one of the few decent wineries in Temecula). It was soft and creamily coating with a nice lacto character, a subtle lemony tartness on the front end and a balancing nip of earthy bitterness in the finish. To hear that it still had room to grow blew me away, as it was more than fine in its early state.
The last standout took several sips to fully win me over. An imperial porter called May the Port be with You, it was Randall's contribution to Pizza Port's Star Wars Day, wherein each of its five brewpubs offers up one beer based on the movie franchise. The beer was extremely chocolaty, accentuated by a bit of coffee-like bitterness. This is standard, but what wasn't was the drinkability of this eight percent alcohol-by-volume ale. It was so easygoing and enjoyable that, after more complicated brews, it seemed too simple in its enjoyableness. And that's when it hit me. Most imperial porters are over the top in their sugariness and blatant alcohol, but not this one. I asked myself, "what more could I really want out of this beer," and aside from just the slightest decrease in residual sugar (I'm talking splitting hairs here), decided not a damn thing. Next thing I knew, there it was, the unprecedented third 9.5 in a single sitting.
Even before I started scrawling scores on my menu, I was happily surprised with the sheer variety of beers Randall brought. There were two IPAs, which is expected from a Pizza Port venue (or any San Diego brewery for that matter), plus the sour, imperial porter, a fruited wheat, a smoked beer, and a Belgian-style ale. That's some serious diversity, made all the more impressive by the fact they were all so good.
The Belgian, a golden strong ale coming in at a whopping 13.3% alcohol-by-volume (the target ABV was 12%, but the yeast was particularly famished) and tasted almost exactly like Horny Devil, a fruity, full-bodied brew of the same ilk from Miramar's AleSmith. The smoked beer was an augmented version of Pizza Port's popular amber, Chronic, that had gently applied, soft-yet-meaty character. Even the wheat, rendered peach in hue and like sparkling wedding punch in flavor courtesy of cranberries, was better than most companies' takes on what can be a style so dull the majority of beer geeks steer clear of them.
Bottom line, the beers coming out of Pizza Port Solana Beach are worthy of this long-vaunted brand. As I have said before, good beer has always come out of this link in the chain, but the addition of Randall's talent, creativity, and young-but-developed brewing sensibilities has this brewpub on par with San Diego's finest brewing destinations.

Rats! I was in Toronado Tuesday afternoon, and saw some of these on the board. Had I read this article then, I may have been tempted to try a few. Oh well..

A common assumption within the network and security community is that Network Address Translation (NAT) and filtering devices such as routers and firewalls provide protection from direct inbound attack and control. Networked systems behind devices of this type are usually assigned private (non-routable) IP addresses and may be screened from arbitrary inbound connections which prevent attackers from initiating connections to these presumed 'protected' network assets. To bypass this perimeter defense, attackers have depended on malware to infect the host systems and initiate an outbound connection to a command and control system, perhaps becoming part of a botnet to wait for and then execute commands. The Honeynet Project is studying a different technique that is becoming increasingly widespread in the criminal community. Criminals are leveraging systems behind these security devices as reverse tunnel proxies and are able to perpetrate criminal activities that include sending spam email, attacking web applications, or even targeting internal private network assets.
In this paper we will detail: the basic operational concept of how these reverse tunnel proxies work, one such control protocol in use, the advantages to the criminal community, a detailed example and its similarities to legacy SOCKS protocols, and how this activity can be further identified including mitigation strategies.

Mike and Marcia Johnston's '34 Ford sedan
Behind every hot rod there's an interesting story to tell, regardless of whether the car came together from newly struck steel and factory-fresh parts or if it was hauled out of a barn. They all share a common thread of the journey bringing them back to life.
For Mike and Marcia Johnston, of Livonia, New York, their lifelong dream of finding an unmolested vintage '34 Ford sedan as a base for their hot rod came with its own unique tale. Tracing the roots of a car built over 75 years ago could easily leave your mind in a tailspin, unless you happened to come across that one particular rare find that had all the details intact.
Thanks to the Internet, Mike's search for a sedan was a lot easier than it could have been. One lucky stroke of the keyboard brought him to an ad placed for an original two-owner '34 sedan that just so happened to be within a two-hour drive of his home. The car was originally purchased at Hagg Ford by a woman living in Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania, who drove the car until 1959 when she brought it into the dealership for a repaint. While there, she drove the new Fairlane 500 and was astounded by its power steering so she decided to trade the old '34 in for the new model.
The sedan was immediately snapped-up by an employee and it remained in his personal collection until his recent passing after which it was then listed on the web for sale. Knowing he was destined to purchase the car, Mike contacted good friend and accomplished race car and hot rod builder Lee Osborne to take the ride to check out the '34 with him. Upon seeing the car, Osborne advised Mike it was probably the finest original running steel car he had seen in the past 30 years. Not wasting any time, Mike purchased the car on the spot and loaded it up for the ride home. With the car now in his garage it was time to set a game plan to determine the specific style of build the car would follow. In talking with Osborne, he advised Mike to head to the Detroit Autorama to study the various build styles and to talk with various builders to see who he would like to work with. Taking Osborne's advice, Mike and Marcia visited the Autorama and after a weekend of studying designs, were able to decide on the right path for the car to take. While there, they happened to meet up with Ray Bartlett of The Hot Rod Garage in Denton, Maryland, whose vision and ideas personified everything they imagined their sedan to encompass. A deal was made and the '34 was delivered to Bartlett's shop to begin its resurrection.
Long known for their distinctive traditional hot rods, Bartlett and his team at The Hot Rod Garage began the disassembly of the sedan to evaluate what would stay on board for the long haul. To create a suitable base for the project to rise from, which would look great, and handle well with plenty of cutting-edge performance, Bartlett contacted Just-a-Hobby at Lobeck's V8 Hot Rod Parts in Cleveland to build a spine for the car. The Just-a-Hobby team also C'd the rear of the 'rails and then moved them inboard 2 inches per side to accommodate a wider rear wheel and tire combination. Once the frame was received, The Hot Rod Garage began to set up the suspension, starting out back with a polished stainless Pete & Jakes four-bar and Panhard bar link to a pair of Aldan Eagle coilover shocks to help suspend a Ford 9-inch rearend in place filled with 3.50:1 cogs. To give the car plenty of road handling capabilities, a fully polished Heidts Superide IFS was installed up front, complemented by coilover shocks, power rack-and-pinion steering, and an antiroll bar. Pushing fluid through a Wilwood master cylinder, Wilwood 11-inch front discs and 11-inch rear Ford drums bring a set of Billet Specialties Legacy-series wheels capped with BFGoodrich rubber safely to a stop.
There's nothing like the growl of a legendary Ford V-8 lurking under the hood of a Ford hot rod, so Mike contacted Roush Racing for one of their fire-breathing 402ci powerhouses. Filled with a forged 4340 steel crank linked to matching H-beamstyle rods and Wiseco 10:1 slugs, a Roush Proprietary cam completes the base while Roush Performance aluminum heads, an Edelbrock Performer intake, and Holley Street Avenger 770-cfm carb, seal the deal. An MSD ignition sparks everything to life to spit fire through Sanderson headers and a custom exhaust fabbed by The Hot Rod Garage.
Linked to an '85 Ford AOD by Performance Automatics of Gaithersburg, Maryland, plenty of abuse spins through a custom driveshaft by The Hot Rod Garage to feed the 9-inch Ford rear. With the rolling chassis completed, the team shifted their focus on the vintage steel, ironing it clean and updating it with a filled roof, custom firewall, mini-tubbed wheelwells, and lowered headlight bar. To bring plenty of glamour to the mix, the team prepped the car for final paint and laid down a lustrous coating of custom-blended DuPont Hot Rod Garage Red. To add plenty of brilliance, Jon Wright's Custom Chrome of Grafton, Ohio, plated everything that wasn't painted, including the custom front and rear stainless nerf bars crafted by The Hot Rod Garage. To add plenty of class to their business office, Dean Alexander at The Hot Rod Garage covered a Glide Engineering front seat and custom back seat with butter-soft brown leather complemented by matching wool carpet. An original dash is filled with gauges from Classic Instruments to monitor the vitals while a Juliano's banjo-styled steering wheel helps navigate the course.
Seeing the completed car with its perfect stance and newfound attitude proves that the team from The Hot Rod Garage nailed the look of yet another vintage Ford. With Mike and Marcia already laying down the miles, we're sure there are plenty of chapters yet to be written.

Are you ruining your salad? Here's how to tell
الزيارات: 1809
You may think you're going for the healthy option with a salad but are you sabotaging its nutritional value with some sneaky extras?
Creamy salad dressings
Think twice before you add a creamy dressing to your salad. With a 2 tablespoon serving containing around 18 g of fat and 170 calories, creamy dressings are one of the quickest ways to ruin a healthy salad. If you are ordering out ask for the dressing on the side. Go for healthy dressings like lemon juice, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Fried additions
Adding fried chicken, meat or falafels will only be adding calories and unhealthy trans fat to your healthy meal. Trans fats are one of the main culprits in the development of cardiovascular disease. Grilled chicken, fish, or meat however can make a healthy protein-rich addition to your salad without the added nasties.
Instead of adding fried croutons to your salad that are high in fat, oven-bake some crusty bread pieces and make your own healthy, low-fat version. It is best to use day old wholemeal bread, spray with a little olive oil and add some spices for extra flavour.
Too much cheese
Some cheese in the diet is good for you, it is a great source of proteinand provides calcium, however you don't want to overdo it on your salad. Choose a good quality natural cheese like feta, not the processed variety, and add a small serving. This will reduce the fat and calories in your salad.
Picking the wrong greens
A lot of people go for the common iceberg lettuce when it comes to greens in their salad. This green leafy is the least nutritious choice. To get the most out of your greens and to supercharge your salad use dark green leafy vegetables likespinach, rocket, andkale, which are rich in phytonutrients and vitamin K and C,folateandiron.

Bill Pullman Joins Cast of THE OTHER PLACE as 'Ian' Today
Manhattan Theatre Club announced that Bill Pullman ("1600 Penn;" The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?) will join the cast of The Other Place starting today, February 5 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street). Pullman will assume the role of Ian.
Daniel Stern played his final performance in the role on Sunday, February 3. Stern is leaving the production due to family matters in California that require his early departure from the show.
Pullman is an acclaimed actor of stage, television, and film, and currently can be seen in NBC's first family comedy "1600 Penn." His stage performances include his Drama Desk-nominated performances in two Edward Albee works: The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? and Peter & Jerry. He most recently appeared on Broadway in the revival of David Mamet's Oleanna opposite Julia Stiles.
The acclaimed production of The Other Place, the new play by Sharr White, directed by Joe Mantello, was recently extended at MTC's Friedman Theatre through Sunday, March 3. In addition to Pullman, the production also stars Laurie Metcalf ("Roseanne," November), Zoe Perry (Broadway debut), and John Schiappa (Assassins, Take Me Out).
Three-time Emmy Award winner and Tony Award nominee Laurie Metcalf stars in MTC's Broadway-premiere production of The Other Place, a riveting new thriller by fast-rising playwright Sharr White and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Other Desert Cities, Wicked, Love! Valour! Compassion!).
Metcalf gives a "dazzling, must-be-seen performance" (Variety) as Juliana Smithton, a successful neurologist whose life seems to be coming unhinged. Her husband has filed for divorce, her daughter has eloped with a much older man and her own health is in jeopardy. But in this brilliantly crafted work, nothing is as it seems. Piece by piece, a mystery unfolds as fact blurs with fiction, past collides with present and the elusive truth about Juliana boils to the surface.
The Other Place had its world premiere at MCC Theater (Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey, William Cantler, Artistic Directors; Blake West, Executive Director), opening on March 28, 2011 where it extended due to popular demand. The Other Place was nominated for two Outer Critics Circle Awards, a Drama League Award, and three Lucille Lortel Awards. Metcalf won an Obie Award and a Lucille Lortel Award for her performance in the production.
The creative team for the production includes Eugene Lee & Edward Pierce (scenic design), David Zinn (costume design), Justin Townsend (lighting design), Fitz Patton (original music & sound design), William Cusick (video & projection design), Caparelliotis Casting and Telsey + Company (casting).
Production support provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation as part of the MTC/Sloan Science Theatre Initiative. Additional support for The Other Place is provided by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Lynne Meadow and Executive Producer Barry Grove, MTC has become one of the country's most prominent and prestigious theatre companies. Over the past three decades, MTC productions have earned a total of 18 Tony Awards and six Pulitzer Prizes, an accomplishment unparalleled by a New York theatrical institution. MTC has a Broadway home at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street) and two Off-Broadway theatres at New York City Center (131 West 55th Street). Renowned MTC productions include Venus in Fur; Master Class; Good People; The Whipping Man; Time Stands Still; The Royal Family; Ruined; The American Plan; Come Back, Little Sheba; Blackbird; Translations; Shining City; Rabbit Hole; Doubt; Proof; The Tale of the Allergist's Wife; Love! Valour! Compassion!; A Small Family Business; Sylvia; Putting It Together; Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune; Crimes of the Heart; and Ain't Misbehavin.'
Tickets for The Other Place are available by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200, online by visiting www.Telecharge.com, or by visiting the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre Box Office (261 West 47th Street). Ticket prices are $67 - $131.

There were so many great games from this past season that I didn't know where to begin, so I started from the beginning. The 10th best Knick game from this past season is the 98-93 season opening victory over the Toronto Raptors.
This game was exciting through its duration. Amare got the show going with a transition dunk early in the game. Turiaf had a poster dunk in the 2nd quarter. Jarrett Jack played a great game with 16 points and Reggie Evans dominated the boards with 16 rebounds for Toronto. In the 4th quarter with the Knicks down 1, Chandler hit a beautiful step back jumper to put the Knicks up 1 then minutes later spins and fires another jumper in the cup to stick the Knicks up 4. At about the 5 minute mark Amare packs Andrea Bargnani on a layup attempt to preserve a 2 point lead. As the 4th quarter winds down, Amare hits his second of back to back post shots at the 2:40 mark to put the Knicks up 96-88. On the next two possessions, STAT misses a layup and turns it over. Chandler takes control of the ball the final few possessions and goes cold. He misses from 3 and he misses a 10 foot runner. Jarrett Jack hits the last 4 points for Toronto to put them down 96-93 with 59 seconds remaining. The Raptors then miss a 2 3 pointers followed by 2 Ray Felton free throws and Jack's missed 3 with time running out ends a season opening thriller. Knicks 98 Raptors 93.
This game for me is important because it got the team off to a great 1-0 start. It wasn't a perfect game but for the first time since they were 7-6 to start the year in '08 the Knicks had a winning record. One of my favorite things about this game was that no one player dominated the game for the Knicks. Wilson Chandler, Amare Stoudemire and Raymond Felton were the offensive cogs in this one. Chander had 22, Amare 19 and Felton 15. The Knicks even out-rebounded Toronto 49-45 (a trend that didn't stay for the rest of the year) and held them to 38% shooting. It was a great way to start a great season for the Knicks.

California boy sets himself on fire in online dare
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a 16-year-old Southern California boy has suffered burns after setting himself on fire for an online dare.
The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/1sew0On ) reports that investigators believe the teen was trying the "fire challenge" that has spread on social media.
Fire Capt. Larry Kurtz says the teen apparently placed nail polish remover on his chest and lit it Friday afternoon in his Santa Ana home.
Kurtz says the boy was taken to a hospital with first- and second-degree burns on his face, neck and hips but the injuries aren't considered life-threatening.
Online videos show several people performing similar stunts before putting out the flames.

Blogging and Technology
The Mechanics of Reading Blogs
This post really got me thinking about blogging and technology. First off, I was reading the blog post on my smart phone. I enjoy reading it that way because it has a really nice interface. It shows me only the blog post itself and cuts out the distracting navigation menu and extraneous stuff on the side of my Google Reader. However, it makes if really difficult to leave comments. You take the challenge that exists normally on a blog and then double it when using a smart phone. I just wonder how many comments blog authors lose because of issues like this.
Blogging Technology Needs to Be Better
After realizing that, I started wondering why, with so many millions of bloggers in the world blogging on endless different topics, that software developers don't do more to make blogging better. It makes me think that the developers aren't bloggers themselves or else they would change a few things.
Wish List
Here's my wish list for a few things that I would change. I'll only mention a couple things here but the list could go on and on. These are directed at Blogger.com since that is the program that I use.
1) Make the interface for comments easier to use for readers who are not techies. What are all those options anyway? I don't even know what some of them mean. For someone who is not tech savvy it's downright scary. If anonymous posts are allowed, feature that clearly and simply at the top and put all the other techy options beneath that. Stop scaring our readers away!
2) Make "Open Link In New Window" a menu option when adding links. It's so simple it should be obvious but clearly it's not. Please stop driving our readers away to other sites or helping them get lost when they can't find their way back.
3) Put more effort into the interface for smart phones. Make it easy for smart phone users to leave comments. More and more people are using smart phones. Reading blogs is a great thing to do when you are sitting in the doctor's office or at the soccer field waiting for a practice to end. More people would read blogs and comment on them if you focused on this up-and-coming technology.
Give Us An EASY BUTTON!
Blogger developers, please give us an easy button! The technology is there to make the interfaces easier to use while providing more advanced options at the same time. Perhaps you need to create some focus groups so you can find out directly what we want. Ask us how we use the programs. We'll be happy to tell you.
Bloggers - tell me what's on your wish list!

I wondered if there is a way to do # 2 on your list, I would LOVE that!ReplyDelete
With WordPress it is possible to have links open in another window. Mind you, you have to know to choose that option when adding a link because it defaults to opening in the same window. When reading other sites, I often right mouse click and force links to open in another window or tab rather than having them open in the same window.ReplyDelete
I'm commenting here from my iPhone. I have often tried to comment on blogs this way and been thwarted. On some blogs I can, others I can't, and I haver worked out how to tell in advance. Although I can type in text I can't publish it.ReplyDelete
It is a concern. When I look at my blog stats there is a growing share of visits from smartphones.
If you are reading this comment, it's possible to comment on your blog from an iPhone.
I'm a technical guy, so can sometimes offer suggestions that are a little daunting for the non-tech crowd - apologies if below is confusing for anyone.ReplyDelete
If the blogging software you use doesn't have an option to make a link open in a new tab, you can always add some simple code by hand to make it do so.
Once you add a link in a post, find something in the blog post software that says "Edit HTML."
If a plain vanilla link looks like this:
... a href="http://rootsandrambles.blogspot.com">This is a link!<...
All you need to do is add the following after the site URL: target="_blank"
(Note there's a space before the word target and that is an underscore before the word blank.)
The final result will look like this and will open in a new window:
...a href "http://rootsandrambles.blogspot.com" target="_blank">This is a link!<...
(I had to use the ... in part of the examples so blogspot would show them as text and not links.)
Marian, I hope you'll send your suggestions to blogger. They may not be quickly responsive to suggestions but I believe they at least read and consider them.ReplyDelete
I had a survey about comments on the sidebar of my blog a week ago asking people to respond. I posted the results. There were lots of comments in my original post when I requested the participation of other bloggers.
I'm not tech savvy, but as JTT commented, it's an easy fix to make links open in a new window. It's less than two dozen keystrokes in the right place - not as easy as mousing an icon but not too hard.
Now I have to go read Amy's post about comments.

An analysis of the under-preservation of historic sites that represent the accomplishments of minority groups and women brings to mind another underrepresented group and a controversial site in the Pottstown tri-county area: the developmentally disabled and the former Pennhurst State School and Hospital.
Pennhurst is among the most important historical properties in the nation representing the history, struggles and change in attitude toward the developmentally disabled.
And instead of preserving and protecting its legacy, the home was allowed two years ago to become a Halloween attraction. The buildings which once housed developmentally disabled children and adults at a time when 'warehousing' was the standard of care have become the centerpiece for a seasonal attraction with actors and props creating a horror story of a haunted asylum.
Instead, the site should be preserved to recognize those who suffered conditions there as well as the landmark change the closing of the institution brought.
Opened in 1908 on 1,400 rolling acres as the Eastern Pennsylvania Institution for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic, Pennhurst was a self-sustained campus of 25 buildings that included workshops, a firehouse, a fully functioning farm and a barber shop, among other things, according to the Pennhurst Memorial and Preservation Alliance.
Intended to isolate its residents from the rest of society, it housed 3,500 patients at its peak occupancy in space that federal regulations later determined to be habitable for just 700 people.
When media reports in 1968 brought the plight of Pennhurst patients to the attention of the nation, it sparked a series of lawsuits which culminated in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found institutionalization of disabled people to be unconstitutional.
Now regarded as the epicenter for the modern disability rights movement, Pennhurst closed in 1986 and its remaining 460 patients were discharged or transferred to other facilities.
The Preservation Alliance had Pennhurst named as an 'International Site of Conscience, part of a worldwide network of 'Sites of Conscience' – historic sites specifically dedicated to remembering past struggles for justice and addressing their contemporary legacies,' according to the group's web site.
Pottsgrove High School graduate Nathaniel Guest founded the group and is also teaching two classes on 'the ethics of preservation' at Cornell University.
He said that like the stories of the roles minorities and women played in the nation's history, the story of the intellectually and developmentally disabled people who lived at Pennhurst is one that must be preserved - and preserving some part of Pennhurst is the best way to do it.
Ironically, Guest thinks the controversy surrounding the haunted attraction at Pennhurst may have been what was needed to spur preservation.
Guest said the owner of the property is 'open to preservation' being done there and added that he presented the owner with a copy of a 2011 Urban Partners analysis.
The Alliance 'hopes that a portion of the property will be used as a Center for Conscience, to preserve the lessons and stories of those forced to live at Pennhurst,' according to 'Pennsylvania At Risk,' which added that the Alliance 'hopes to create a modest memorial and museum on the campus, while reusing the property in a manner that provides economic and environmental benefits to the region.'
Pennhurst was a part of this region's economy, its landscape and its conscience for much of the 20th century. Its impact on the rights of the developmentally disabled and its role as a turning point in the protection of those rights makes it deserving as a place to be remembered, as a 'site of conscience,' in the words of the Preservation Alliance.
Like other sites that should be preserved for their role in the history of minorities, this site's role should be memorialized.
Pennhurst should be preserved in honor of the innocents who were isolated there and in tribute to the change its closing represented.

Full Item Description
How do The Grinches get here? Wreaths. These are not your normal green wreath hanging from doors and walls. The Wreaths of The Grinches are metal rings ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 meters (5" to 8") in diameter. The Wreaths are made up of wire bundles. The wires are a mix of silver, gold, and a metallic green. (The green metal is known as Yuelium, with such unique properties that it will become a strategic material). The bundles of wire occassionally have odd little geometic shapes the wire. They seem like little ivy leaves and odd shaped blobs of berries.
This all struck The Elfs as a Christmas Wreath. The Humans picked it up and now the name has stuck.
Wreaths just seem to appear. The Grinches' Masters seem to send them through The Void to this world. They just appear, power up, and open up the gateways. The Elfs quickly developed detecting globes to spot incomming wreaths. The Grinches responded by "planting" wreaths. These Wreaths start as 2-5 CM rings and grow into full size. They are placed and eventually activate. (Such wreath rings have been discovered a few times, usually just before they were activated). These rings and Grinches can be detected by certain toys the Elves develop.
The existance is Wreath Rings is disturbing. It means The Grinches (and their Masters) have been on Earth Realm for a while and have a greater plan. Another disturbing implication is that they have allies that are native to Earth (and a stockpile of Wreath Rings and Yulium items).
Humanity's and Elfkinds's experience started with Wreaths started December 24th at sunset in London.
One of the first Elf Assault Teams (or was it an Elf Rescue Team… the two divisions have a rivalry and both claim many firsts) first discovered The Wreath and watched it self destruct (and stopped the reinforcements comming through). Now part of every Elf Team starts looking for the Wreath to stop the Grinch reinforcements.
Magic/Cursed Properties
The Wreaths open a portal between the Earth Sphere and the Realm of the Grinches' Masters (aka The Dark Heart's). This portal seems to be two way. Otherwise, there would be no reason for the Masters to destroy Wreaths when they might be captured by Elfs or Humans.
When self destructing, The Wreath turns white hot and the gold and silver vaperizes. Some bits of Yulium survive and can help to make some awewsome technology and eTec devices. Note, a fire usually results due to the self distruct.

The architectural beauty of both civic and residential buildings throughout Sandgate makes this coastal village one of Moreton Bay's heritage showpieces.
Sandgate, located below the Redcliffe peninsula, was a popular seaside destination for Brisbane's colonial settlers in the late 1800s. Its rich historical past is a feature of the area today, with many homes and buildings reflecting the classic architectural styles of this bygone era.
Take the opportunity to walk Sangate's Historical Trail featuring Sandgate Post Office, Railway Station and Sandgate Pier and the famous clock at the Town Hall. Sunset over the the Shorncliffe Pier is a spectacular sight well worth watching, perhaps over a drink or meal at one of the seaside hotels such as the Full Moon Hotel.
Every full moon, Sangdate hosts Moonfest on the beach at Shorncliffe. Watch as fire dancers and fire stick twirlers dance with the full moon rising!
Also important in the area are the protected environmental parklands of Tinchi Tamba, Deagon and Boondall located to the west and south. Nature lovers come to Sandgate to enjoy the mangroves and marine life sanctuaries that have been set up to protect the environment. Take a walk through the Boondall Wetlands and view the incredibly diverse birdlife.
Sandgate is also renowned for its thriving artistic and cultural community with many local theatre groups, artists, and musicians living and performing in the area.
The annual Bluewater Festival held over the Easter weekend in Lower Moora Park - Shorncliffe, attracts many visitors to watch the offshore start of the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race. Sandgate is a 35-minute drive from the centre of Brisbane.

A recent foot injury had forced me into exploring different shoe brands, because I needed something that was actually comfortable and supporting, to my aching ankle and foot.
I came across Red Wing Shoes. They look cool, the company has been in business for over a century and as an added bonus, the boots are hand made, in the USA.
They come with a life time warranty on the top leather part, free shoe laces for life and re-soling them will run you $80.
They are super comfortable.
Granted, they offer a cheaper Chinese version, don't buy them, just man up and do the right thing.
I believe that the American workforce should support the American workforce, while we still have one.

Linux Magazine Covers BasKet, Apollon, Fonts and KoolDock
Linux Magazine has made available a number of KDE related articles for download. Alphabet Soup covers installing fonts in KDE. Olympian Exchange explores the file sharing application Apollon. A Virtual Basket looks at BasKet the ultimate scrap book for KDE. Finally On the Docks looks at two replacements for the panel, KoolDock and KXDocker.
Klipper replace
Btw, when kde will replace Klipper with BasKet? ;)
By Francisco at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: Klipper replace
It looks a bit too over-engineered to me to be included into main KDE. But some ideas should really go into klipper. Or even better into a streamlined replacement for kicker..
By uddw at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: Klipper replace
If BasKet like remembered the last X amount of selections and the last Y amount of copys you made, then it would be a great replacement for Klipper (which half the time doesn't notice I copy something).
By Corbin at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: Klipper replace
Are you sure you have configured it to do so?
By Morty at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Whoa! I didn't know about Basket before! It seems EXACTLY like the app I have been looking for! Now, if only Gentoo got ebuils for the latest version...
By Janne at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Re: Basket
Notice that I'm searching BasKet packagers for Gentoo, Mandriva, Fedora...
By Sebien at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Font Catalog
As "Alphabet Soup" article said, it would be cool if KDE could do a "Font Catalog" out of the box.
By Sebien at Tue, 2005/05/10 - 5:00am
Install fonts in: "~/.fonts :-(
Unfortunately, the article fails to mention the pitfalls of installing fonts in your "$HOME/.fonts" directory (or any subdirectory of $HOME).
And the article fails to explain how to install them in "$KDEDIR/share/fonts".

"Security is the chief enemy of mortals." – William Shakespeare."
The pace slows down with the Moon entering the stabilizing, steady, practical sign of Taurus at 5:55 am ET. Whenever the Moon moves through earthy Taurus, we are looking to anchor or ground ourselves, usually more in a material sense, as this is the sign that rules money, possessions, and those things that we attach value to, that psychologically add to our feeling of safety and sense of personal wealth. We are less inclined to gamble with our resources, however, we are more inclined to indulge our senses, as this sign is ruled by Venus, which governs our pleasure instincts.
The energy flow is a little more challenging, this mid-morning, as the Moon squares volatile Mars in egocentric Leo, and then makes a tense aspect to anxious Saturn, early this afternoon. The Mars Saturn energies suggest that we may need to keep our egos and tempers contained and our patience in abundance to avoid possible disputes and clashes.
As the afternoon progresses, however, more harmonious influences to transforming Pluto in Capricorn, come into play, making dealing with matters of our security and possessions much more advantageous. The Moon Pluto aspect is excellent for any of our long-range strategic planning, especially in the realm of business and our careers.
Friday night, our emotions and spirits are generally upbeat and bright, and our desire for self-indulgence and pleasure rises, as the sensual Taurus Moon makes pleasant aspects to lucky Jupiter, and then to relationship Venus. Our romantic, social and or entertainment plans are given the go-ahead. Our powers of attraction are elevated.
Famous persons born this day: Prince Andrew, Karen Silkwood. Jeffrey Immelt, Andre Breton.
Astrology Unplugged: A few of my astrological footnotes, observations on former President Bill Clinton, Saturn in the first house, Mars conjunct Venus, Britain's Prince Andrew, and Tiger Woods.
Caught a video clip on one of the TV networks yesterday, believe it was CNN, of former President Bill Clinton casually talking to reporters, in the aftermath of his recent heart procedure last week. On the clip, he said something to the affect that he was planning on continuing working a full schedule, but that he would try to get more rest, exercise every day, maybe do more work-related tasks by phone. In other words, it sounded like he was resonating, as expected, to the presence of the planet Saturn on his Ascendant or first house.
Saturn's ray usually impinges upon our psyches a more serious, sobering outlook. The very nature of Saturn, the ruler of physical form and matter, is about conservation, and the wise use of our resources, especially when it is on our first house, which rules our bodies. Saturn moving through the first house is often a time when many of us are finally able to shed a few pounds due to our increased aptitude for, and willingness to be, more disciplined. We take our lives and our life purposes much more seriously with Saturn on our Ascendant as we become more aware of our mortality, which Saturn rules.
As I also wrote in my blog last week, Bill Clinton has his birth chart Mars, the energy planet, exactly conjoined his Ascendant, so he tends to have a supercharged, high energy level to begin with. A reduced schedule for him would probably still include much more in the way of activity than most of us would ever be able to keep up with.
It was also very interesting that the very day that Clinton had the two stents put into his coronary artery, last week, Mars in Leo, in the sky, was in an "adjustment aspect" to Pluto in Capricorn. Leo is the sign of the zodiac that rules the heart; Mars and Pluto both rule surgery; and Pluto rules regeneration. The insertion of the two stents into his body would symbolically symbolize Pluto. Capricorn is the sign that also rules world leaders. Kind of a neat little cosmic tie-in there that I had to slip in.
Additionally, the Mars Pluto aspect that day generated a collective awareness of that heart procedure for the planet, because of Bill Clinton's specific experience. I was watching CNN's Larry King show the same day Clinton had the procedure done last week and Larry also shared that he recently had the same thing done a few weeks earlier.
Bill Clinton also has something in common with today's birthday boy, England's Prince Andrew. They both have Venus conjunct Mars aspects in their birth chart horoscopes. Venus rules our love urge and represents our power of attraction while Mars rule our sexual natures. Normally, when we have those two planets together, we are more popular and likable, especially with the opposite sex. Clinton's Venus Mars conjunction is in very sociable Libra, while Prince Andrew's is in the more disciplined, status-conscious, controlled sign of Capricorn. Prince Andrew also has a secretive Scorpio Moon inclining him to be more em0tionally guarded.
One last thing. Today at 11 am ET golfer Tiger Woods will be making his public statement at the PGA tour headquarters in Florida. He reportedly will be making an apology for his behavior and discussing his future. I have blogged here about Tiger the last couple days and the fact that he has some excellent astrological influences now in his horoscope for coming before the public.
At the same time, Tiger is also receiving a good measure of criticism now, especially from reporters, because he is reportedly not going to be doing a live press conference today but rather only a press feed. He will not be answering any reporters' questions. As I look at the situation from an astrological perspective, what I see is merely Tiger being Tiger. From his horoscope, Tiger tends to have a very perfectionist, intense, controlling, and very private nature, due to his Virgo ascendant and Pluto in his first house. Putting forward a controlled image today, versus one of spontaneous expression, fits in perfectly with Tiger's basic astrological profile and being.
Peace and love. Enjoy your day!

Zen Cart New Product Error: 1062 Duplicate entry '2147483647' for key 'PRIMARY'
A client of mine contacted me earlier because he was unable to add products to his Zen Cart store. I recently installed a couple modules for him and was thinking that the issue may be related to one of the modules however this did not end up being the case. After some investigation I was able to resolve the problem easily by first deleting a product that had been added and then by issuing a SQL command to modify the auto increment numbers for the Zen Cart products table. Below there is more information on the error as well as details on how to resolve the issue.

Birthday: April 18
Melody Thomas Scott, who stars as Nikki Newman on "THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS," celebrated 34 years in the role, having joined the cast in February, 1979. Scott's character has matured from the girl from the wrong side of the tracks to the serial's luminous and resourceful heroine.
After garnering a Daytime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Lead Actress" in 1999, she went on to win in the same category for the Digest Award in 2001. She also received four Update Awards for "Outstanding Lead Actress" (1992, 1993, 1995 and 1996) for her portrayal of Nikki, the ultimate survivor.
Scott made her motion picture debut at age eight when she was cast by Alfred Hitchcock as the young Tippi Hedren in the thriller "Marnie." At age 13, she co-starred with Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page in "The Beguiled." While still a teenager, she played ingénue roles opposite such stars as John Wayne in "The Shootist," again with Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry," in "Posse," opposite Kirk Douglas, who also directed her, and in Brian DePalma's "The Fury." Scott's other film appearances include roles in "The Car" and "Piranha."
Scott recently celebrated 50 years in show business. She began her career at age three under the tutelage of renowned coach Ethel Meglin, who launched the careers of Shirley Temple and Judy Garland. She studied singing, tap dancing, ballet and jazz and became one of the world-famous "Meglin Kiddies," performing in USO shows as she started booking national commercials and guests spots on such series as "Wagon Train," "My Three Sons," "Ironside" and a recurring role on "The Waltons."
Scott starred in "The Paradise Virus" in February, 2003, adding to her numerous television credits which include the miniseries "Studs Lonigan" and "Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War" and the telefilm "Secrets." Scott guest starred in television series including "Charlie's Angels," "Hotel" and "The Rockford Files," and appeared as herself on such series as "The Nanny," "Diagnosis: Murder" and "The King of Queens." She was also the subject of Lifetime Television's "Intimate Portrait."
On stage, Scott starred in the critically acclaimed Los Angeles productions of "The Vagina Monologues," Jane Martin's "Talking With…" and "Love Letters." A Los Angeles native, she attended the University of Southern California as a piano major.
As a life-long fan of "I Love Lucy," Scott serves as a founding member of the Board of Directors for the LucilleBall-DesiArnazCenter in Jamestown, N.Y., which is committed to preserving the legacy of the great comedienne. Currently, Scott spearheads a national awareness and informational campaign for Interstitial Cystitis, a bladder inflammation condition, which she was afflicted with in 1999 but from which she is pain-free today.
Married since 1985 to Edward Scott, the couple celebrated their 20th Anniversary with an "Entertainment Tonight" "Celebrity Weddings Unveiled" special which won its timeslot on its July 7, 2005 airdate. The couple has three daughters, Jennifer, Alexandra and Elizabeth.

LETTER- How 'bout this peeper?
In her April 19 letter: "Straight dope on peepers," Marlene Condon states, "We do not have Green Tree Frogs in our area."
The accompanying frog might disagree. This two-inch green tree frog with smug grin and racing stripe was photographed in my western Albemarle yard last October 10. Census maps based on counts of singing frogs have the species confined to Virginia's coastal plain. I would argue their extended range includes our area, but the local population is simply below the threshold detectable in a drive-by peep count.

Pujols headlines Halos' All-Star hopefuls on ballot
Albert Pujols made the All-Star team in nine of his first 10 seasons, but has gone four straight years without taking part in the Midsummer Classic and hasn't really come close to getting there the last two years, after going on a month-and-a-half-long homerless slump in 2012 and being hindered by plantar fasciitis in 2013.
This could be the year Pujols makes it back, though.
Albert Pujols made the All-Star team in nine of his first 10 seasons, but has gone four straight years without taking part in the Midsummer Classic and hasn't really come close to getting there the last two years, after going on a month-and-a-half-long homerless slump in 2012 and being hindered by plantar fasciitis in 2013.
This could be the year Pujols makes it back, though.
The All-Star Game ballots were unveiled on Friday, with fans given a chance to decide the starting position players in the American League and National League. Pujols, of course, was listed as the first base representative for the Angels. And it served as a reminder of how much better the 34-year-old has looked at the start of the season, both offensively -- especially while hitting career home run Nos. 499 and 500 on Tuesday -- and with the glove.
"I told you guys before, I'm healthy and I'm feeling good at the plate right now," Pujols said recently. "I mean, I don't need to tell you guys. You guys can see it. When you have your leg [under you], now you can rely on the power you have, and it wasn't there the last couple years. You can look for your own eyes."
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 8:59 p.m. PT. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, register on the site in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans this year once again can participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 AL and NL All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.
The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote Sponsored by Pepsi, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the overall vote that determines the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 85th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
In-stadium balloting at Angel Stadium will take place April 30 to June 11.

Although I'm sure I'll be playing the role of Captain Obvious in pointing out the following, I just noticed something the other night while examining a World War I Draft Registration Card on Ancestry. I have used this Ancestry database quite a bit, but never paid attention to the fact that you can navigate back and forth from card to card on this database just the way you can from one census page to another on the census image databases. After noticing the "back" and "forward" arrows and the fact that there were 800+ images in this particular section of the database, I became curious and used the arrows to see where they would take me. And they took me to other young men with the same last name, in alphabetical order, who lived in the same area (in this case, Greenville County, South Carolina). It was a "Duh!" moment. While I almost always check for these Cards for men in my family tree who were in the proper age range, I never thought of using the family name grouping to find additional family members and make sure I had found all the cards for a family that I could, regardless of how their given and middle names might appear.
Something I have done to make transcribing the cards easier is to have the blank form questions (three forms in all – A, B, and C) in a word document that I can quickly copy into my genealogy program or another document so that only the answers have to be filled in to complete the transcription.

Tuesday Tips: Navigating World War I Draft Registration Cards
2 comments:
You know there are so many records out there that it is easy to forget the nuances of each different kind of record. Can you scroll forward and backward, is it an index or is it the full record, which record gives which details, etc. I am so happy that someone else has the same moments that I do and I am going to borrow your handy term to describe that moment, "Captain Obvious!" Great entry!ReplyDelete
I think it will take me years to master some of these databases. I wish I could take credit for "Captain Obvious," but I stole it from my daughter.

I have a little vintage shop on Etsy and I wander about picking things up here and there. I make at least three stops a week to local thrift stores and estate sales. This particular record caught my eye just because A. I love the vintage picture on the front and B. It's an interesting one because she's holding the record that she's on and the image appears to go on for infinity. I have been doing research on this for a while and I can't find much on it. It appears to be an advertisement record made for Silentex. ( The tile on the ceiling in the picture) I can't find anything like it anywhere. There's some great music on it;Base-Ellington,Les Brown, Tony Bennet, Patti Page, Bobby Hackett and many more.
Can anyone tell me about this record? Did they make these often? When was it made there is no date anywhere.
I don't know if it's worth much , but it is a really cool vintage vinyl. In my humble opinion.
Thank you!!

Because the schema is defined by the LDAP view in cn=schema, you can view and modify the schema online using the ldapsearch and ldapmodify utilities. However, you can modify only schema elements that have the value 'user defined' for the X-ORIGIN field. The server refuses any modification to the other definitions.
New element definitions, and changes that you make to user-defined elements, are saved in the file 99user.ldif.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Modifying schema definitions from the command line is prone to error because of the long values that you must type exactly. However, you can use this functionality in scripts that need to update your directory schema.
Use the ldapmodify(1) command to add or delete individual attributeTypes attribute values.
See To Create an Attribute Type or To Delete Attribute Types for details.
Use the ldapmodify(1) command to add or delete individual objectClasses attribute values.
See To Create an Object Class or To Delete an Object Class for details.
To modify one of the values, you must delete the specific value and then add the value as a new value. This process is required because the attributes are multivalued. For details, see Modifying One Value of a Multi Valued Attribute.
