Canton Resident Wins Logo Contest
The logo created by Beth Sisson will be used by the Cherokee County Educational Foundation.
A Canton resident's creativity has captured the eye of the Cheorkee County Educational Foundation. Beth Sisson was name the winner of the organization's logo design contest, which it launched last month. Sisson's image includes a silhouette of an apple tree in black and dark red over the acronym CCEF and the words Cherokee County Educational Foundation. Sisson said her design was inspired by The Giving Tree, a classic children's book. "My mom was a teacher, and I remember how she would do so much that was above and beyond… and I know that teachers often do that out of their own pocket," she said. "It's such a great idea to have a foundation to organize people who want to give to help teachers and their students." Sisson has two children …

Ex-County Prosecutor Sues to Be Reinstated
Complaint claims law that allowed Attorney General to take over Morris County Prosecutor's Office at Gov. Chris Christie's request is unconstitutional.
Former Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi is suing to try to have the courts overturn a law that allowed the Attorney General to take over the Morris County Prosecutor's Office on Friday at Gov. Chris Christie's request, according to The Star-Ledger.
Bianchi's father filed the lawsuit Monday on his son's behalf, claiming the law that allowed the Attorney General's Office "supersession" on Friday is unconstitutional because it conflicts with another state law that says a governor can only remove a county prosecutor after showing cause and holding a public hearing, the report says.
Christie said in a news conference Friday uncertainty about the status of the position hurts office morale, according to reports.
Christie requested the move in order "to promote an orderly and speedy transition to Prosecutor Bianchi's successor, and to ensure uniform and efficient criminal law enforcement in Morris County," an Attorney General's Office spokesman said Friday.
Bianchi, a Morris Plains resident since 2005, was appointed to a five-year term by Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine. The term expired on June 22, but the Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee has never considered Knapp, the Florham Park attorney nominated by Christie, a Republican, more than six months ago.
Attorney General spokesman Leland Moore said "the Governor is acting on the basis of long-standing powers granted him by the Legislature, and his action is consistent with all Constitutional and statutory authority."
The Daily Record reported that in 2005 the state Supreme Court issued a ruling that said "Supersession must occur when the Governor requests it, and the Governor has wide discretion in the exercise of that power," including if it is "in furtherance of the interests of the state."
12:32 pm on Wednesday, December 19, 2012
"..term expired on June 22, but the Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee has never considered Knapp..."
His term expired months ago and because of the inactivity of the Democratic Senate he should just stay in the position for ever?? Another Democrate with a arrogant sense of entitlement. Now wasting tax payer money with a law suit.

R. Bianchi has done an excellent job as Morris County Prosecutor. Let's look past politics and just consider results.
2:29 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
The federal government should look in to that state senators client list at his law firm.
2:29 pm on Thursday, December 20, 2012
He was appointed for 5 years and his term is over..... Move on.
8:39 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
People, Bianchi and Knapp are being used as political pawns, so it's really neither here or there between them. But the Governor said that Bianchi was removed because as a holdover he was affecting 'office morale', due to the fact that the office didn't know their boss's future in the office. Was there a poll taken by the office's employees? We're they interviewed? Did anyone of them complain to the AG's office saying they're afraid? The instant Bianchi announced he was trying 2 new cases, Christie had him removed. Fact is, if I was the family of the victims, I would want Bianchi in my corner. He was superb as the lead prosecutor in the Jose Feliciano case. So Christie, as much as I admire your work in our fine state, don't just assume things, like weak office morale, without speaking to members of that said office first. You don't work with them, you don't speak for them.

This whole system of "appointments" smacks of political country club cronyism. That being said, it's pretty much an unspoken rule that the new regime will out with the old to install their own picks for these positions. Without a doubt, Bianchi is very well qualified and did a superb job as Morris County Prosecutor. Here's what: aside from judges whom have lifetime appointments, even United States Presidents are prevented from holding the office for more than two terms, and with good reason! We need checks and balances. IMHO, Bianchi is destroying what, up to now, has been a sterling reputation. Though I understand where he's coming from, he really needs to play by the rules and give the next guy his turn at bat. This law suit has taken all the shine off the apple for me. It's already too late for him to go gracefully. About the best thing he can do now is not waste any more of the court's time and tax payer's money. If he is entertaining holding any other political office in the future, he's already done himself a great disservice. Mr. Bianchi comes off as a spoiled daddy's boy who stomps his foot and demands that papa fix it for him. Very bad form, indeed!

Mr. Bianchi was himself a political appointment coming from Hudson County. That doesn't mean that he didn't do a good job. He did. I found it odd that there was no Democratic Lawyer in Morris County when he was appointed but that said let's not pretend that all of these appointment are in fact not political including Judges. Fred Knapp has no experience that I am aware of. Christie himself was a political appointment with no experience who was appointed by Bush as U,S. Attorney not because of his legal abilities but rather for his fund raising as a Bush Pioneer. This is the system we have in the top levels of law enforcement so let's not pretend it is a suprise. We are just lucky that Mr. Bianchi knew what he was doing in the job. Over the years I have seen them come and go but one of the most frustrating parts is that because these jobs are political there is a reluctance to even investigate local corruption.

Thrilling Griquas lash Lions
31 Aug 2012
Griquas ran in five tries in a breathless performance that saw them down the Lions 42-32 at Ellis Park.
Griquas burnt white-hot from the the outset and while many would point to generous defence from the Lions, the visitors produced some inspired, expansive play which set up the victory.
The Lions simply could not cope with their physicality at the gainline, which allowed them to play with the pace and width they did. Their primary challenge was always going to be the sustainability of that approach. Ultimately they hung on and found something in reserve at the death when it appeared the Lions would steal it.
The Lions were gifted their first try, Ross Cronje collecting a spilled ball and racing to the tryline unchallenged. But Griquas responded with a double strike, the first to winger Rocco Jansen off the back of powerful phase play, while a Willie le Roux break down the touchline and a slick passing interchange set up Jannie Boshoff. Francois Brummer converted both tries to go with a couple of penalties.
The Lions scored straight from the restart, but this failed to deflate Griquas who continued their onslaught and profited just before the break, Ryno Barnes powering over to take his side to a 28-18 lead going down the tunnel.
Griquas coach Pote Human would have hoped his charges' fitness didn't betray them. Le Roux, however, gave them further breathing room with a try early in the half, the Griquas' forwards depleting their opponents' defensive line and creating a mismatch the fullback exploited to score the bonus-point try.
They held on admirably thereafter, despite their attacking tempo being visibly slowed, while their defensive punch, which had blunted the Lions, was patently reduced. This cost them, Lions winger Anthony Volmink exploiting exhausted defenders to score a converted brace in two minutes to make it a three point game (35-32) with 10 minutes to play.
The Lions looked likely to land the killer blow but Griquas refused to relent and produced an amazing try, birthed in their own 22m and played through 16 phases, to win a match they so desperately needed to to maintain hope of a semi-final placing.

1 Sep 2012, 11:24 amPote human was born and bred in Dispatch and played most of his rugby for eastern province?
1 Sep 2012, 11:32 amNot sure, but I remember him playing lots & lots of times for OFS as well, maybe more than for EP.
1 Sep 2012, 11:52 am@Robzim-48: HM has not been too conservative in his career. The bulls was one of the leading try scoring teams when they won the super 12… So hopefully he will evolve his gameplan when he has enough time and sorts out the pack…
1 Sep 2012, 11:54 amSpot on.
The 2010 Bulls team was the most complete team we've ever had. They eased to the title that year.
1 Sep 2012, 11:55 amBut remember, that wasn't Meyer, it was Ludike.
1 Sep 2012, 12:13 pm@londonshark-55: Todd Louden coached the backs when Meyer was coach and that was when they scored the second most tries in the comp… and when the backs were probably at their best.
1 Sep 2012, 12:13 pm@Jeez-53:
True, but their attack was based on that 'rumble' the Bulls used to get (espically at Loftus).
With such insane front foot ball, their backs could do as they pleased.
Times though, have changed.The Bulls do battle if their pack is matched.
If their pack is out-musled, they screwed.
1 Sep 2012, 12:16 pm@Jeez-56:
Yep, I WISH the Boks would get a NZL/Aus backline coach. Alister Coetzee was garbage with the Boks. Robbie Fleck is a joke at the Stormers, and Ricardo with the Boks now hasn't set the world alight.
Eddie Jones had a few weeks with us in 2007, and our backline was transformed.
We ran rings around the Argie team, which was 10 times better than the one in this years RC.
1 Sep 2012, 12:20 pmWhy not change laubscher with hawies fourie? He is a attacking minded backline coach?
1 Sep 2012, 12:34 pmMeyer is just too fearfully attached to his rigidity and his non compromise fixation with one dimensional bully style rugby. I doubt he's adaptive as he needs to be. White was lucky Saru didn't boot his hopelessly inept arse out the back door end of 2006 like they should have which gave him sufficient time to exhaust all his fckup trial and errors and realize his own lack of any lateral thinking ability which resulted in his savior Eddy Jones to come save his forlorn sinking ship. Even with the best players that Meyer Louden Muir and Campese put together for White to not know wtf to do with through 2007 till Jones fixed all the one dimensional derelict decision making within a miracle turnaround of 3 weeks.
Pote Human is the kind of coach Meyer should give the reigns to. This Griekwas side took apart the self same Lions team playing at home that smacked SharksBoks in the cc final last year.
When you consider Le Roux was the play maker general of this Kwas side who outplayed springboks such as Jantjies and James who are both streaks ahead of mediocrity itself in Lambie, Steyn and Kirchner then its pretty obvious the national coach and selector panel got no clue between their arses and their elbows.
The type talent Boks need to blood and blood fast are the likes of Goosen, Le Roux, A. Coetsee, Taute, ahead of those incumbents keeping the gdamn door and Meyer's one track mind shut.
1 Sep 2012, 12:53 pmNope you were wrng on White, he won the RWC and he's not fkd up the brumbies, quite the opposite.
1 Sep 2012, 12:57 pmI'll second that.
1 Sep 2012, 13:09 pmNaka Drotske, Hawies Fourie, Pote Human, are the only wide awake saffa coaches present currently who would be the type coaches Saru should look at because they don't have this justifying precious self absorbed conceited reputation they have to try uphold.
They would take the Boks forward instead of this baleful regression the likes of these overrated chickens who are too fear ridden by their own fear of losing syndrome, which is why they stick so rigidly to the archaic out of hand crash ball garbage that Streauli, White, Pdv and now Meyer tie their overriding conservation bent to instead of forging ahead.
I far rather lose with the style rugby Carel du Plessis showed or Hawies Fourie or Pote Human would introduce and eventually perfect as Carel showed before he handed over the blue print for Mallet and Solomons to run with, than draw or fluke ugly wins under the same style rubbish that Streauli, White and Meyer are so fearfully and credibility preserving attached to.
1 Sep 2012, 13:21 pmProblem with meyer is two-fold, gameplan and selections but the latter is especially fataL
white analysed the game within the context the laws of the time and played accordingly – I don't know if that was his real reason for success – I think it was more that he got virtually all his selections right.
There is hoever one thing heavily in heyneke's favour, which IMO goes against all the conventional reason on these here websites, which is to win test matches (not super rugby or curry cup) you need to win the collisions. Meyer realises this perhaps more so than any other coach and knows how to drill sa forwards – he could be fantastic.
The reason we draw to Argie is because we lost tge collisions, the reason for this is because the wrong players were selected. Meyer however must also be less conservative and encourage his players to attack the gainline with ball in hand once tge collisions are won – not kick that gdam ball away – it requires patience and v fit as well as a hard pack of forwards.
SA have not always encouraged forwards rugby, carel du plessis and harry viljoen were perhaps tge 2 most attacking and backline-minded coaches to ever coach a test team, let alone a Bok team. What happened? They both have tge 2 worst records of any Springbok coach.
The lesson is simple and repeatedly learnt – win the battle upfront, then attack – first walk before you run. We are not walking at tge moment.
1 Sep 2012, 13:24 pmWhite was outright f'ng atrocious useless coach should have had his overrated arse booted to hell for the fckup he produced through 2006 and prior to Jones who taught him pretty much everything he knows and is implementing today.
If there was any consistency in Saru thinking White should have fckd off in 2006 just like they couldn't give benefit of the doubt and booted Carel du Plessis after 1997, and ANY coach could have fluked that no contest mediocre cake walk in Paris over 12th seed Fiji and 6th seed Argy and a dead beat old hat England, easiest pisseasy WC to ever be contested under old hat kick chase play without the ball chickenshit rugby laws and principles.
Give me Carel or Hawies or Pote over fckwit White ANY day of ANY year.
1 Sep 2012, 13:27 pmWell considering that the 8 9 10 combos havent settled or havent been the best combo there is, its not a big surprise that the backs are struggling. Until then it will be hard for the backs to function to their full potencial… The backs should get better ball if the balance is right. Up until now there hasnt been a fetcher…which will make a huge difference..
Yeah I dont think Ricardo is up to international standard. I believe the boks should have the best backline coach there is, if its a Aussie or Kiwi, so be it… A backline coach should help formulate the game plan..imo. I dont feel HM feels the same way… But its still early days.
The team needs to settle and a few team selections could make a big difference… hopefully…
Vermeulen could be the answer at 8 and Hougaard needs to step up or make way for Pienaar. Ug and Steyn… Jantjies should have been given an opportunity against England, but eventually Goosen will take over. The backs will be better.
1 Sep 2012, 13:33 pm@fitz1ella-65: Simonstown Naval Base is but a short train trip away; why don't u do something constructive like hopping on the 2.30 express from Fish Hoek and go there to vent your anger by washing submarines or something?
1 Sep 2012, 13:34 pmYou rather lose playing a partcular style than win ?
Fk me, nah don't be gdam stupid.
Anyway the way to win and play like the ABs is to have the kind of ball that allows for attacking backline play – you ever play behind a beaten pack and get any decent ball? Never happens.
The ABs got the kind of backline we could never match at tge moment, never ever, no matter if they pick goosen le roux or summoned the ghost of gerber hisgoodself.
You have to win the forwards battle – and the kiwis are ruthless here – Wayne smith knows the key is to rip into those collision points get the go-forward and clean out to get fastball to attack with – slow static retreating ball is useless even for the Ultra-talented AB backline.
Meyer knows this – and knows how to drill forward to give you that kind of ball – his success/failure is going to be a) whether he can select the correct players to give that go-forward (ie picking wp players) and b) whether he is going to attack with ball in hand or try mould his halfbacks into kicking machines rather than letting hougaard unleash himself around tge fringes and bribing in de Jong and aplon/le roux to attack with this ball once won.
1 Sep 2012, 13:55 pmthe only thing that stood between Carel returning an 80% win record in contrast to the 37% he did in his first and only year as bok coach was the fact he didn't have an 80% + kicker to kick the 3 pointers.
He outplayed 97 Bils in all 3 tests except Jenkins got all his kicks and Honibal couldn't kick for sh't yet it was Carel who discovered and introduced Honibal who became Boks most fearless attack minded pivot ever, as well as Percy, Slaptjips Roussow and Fleck for Mallet and Solomons to benefit from. Mallet inherited Du Plessis team which smacked all kinds of pain over Mcqueens WC Aussies in his last test in charge.
Some coaches get lucky like White who was given more rope than he knew what to do with and got spared all his pathetic inept strategy to get given help to solve his inadequacies, while others like Carel Dup didn't.
1 Sep 2012, 14:04 pmG!ve the guy a break. H!s play?ng w!th half the team he wants. We w!ll NEVER be the flambouyant type and w!ll never be.
L!m!t the 'Gary Owens' and k!ck for the corners. Dom!nate at the set p!eces espec!ally the l!neouts and have a psyhcolog?cal advantage at the coll!s!ons.
In there 22 we need a creat!ve backl!ne that can run angles and f!n!sh off. -
1 Sep 2012, 14:09 pmGet serious du plessis and viljoen got outight hammered – our results were woeful – why is it that our two worst run of results coincides with the two most backline-oriented coaches we ever had?
Viljoen was so progressive/mad he outlawed kicking completely , and the Boks nearly lost v Argentina.
These are tge results – now u wanna complain cos there are no kickers – the very thing you don't want?
White's return was twice as good as these coaches and he won a 3n and a Rwc, and moved boks from 6 to 1, reversing much of the new-dangled kak that went before.
White's flaw was an over-emphasis on defense to the detriment if attack, and this is where EJ might have added maybe 0.5% – boks would've lost to Fiji if they'd played your or EJ gameplan – White had prepped tge Boks to high-heaven warning them not to get sucked into Fiji gameplan but they did and as a result nearly got done – they then tightened up as he'd told them to play from the start and they won easily – he was a bladdy good coach and his technical analysis also coincided with mallets victory run – he took jeppe a 2nd tier school to tge top – he's turned around tge brumbies with the weakest bunch of playing talent in their history – after tge shitarse results if last season all their players left and still White nearly took them top.
You and everyone else were going in about how useless White was and how Boks were going to get fkd and how he'd get smashed at super rugby level – well you were wrong in both cases, completely wrong, and still you won't admit it.
1 Sep 2012, 16:03 pmSeems like the favourite sport in South Africa is "fire the Bok coach."
Well fuckme dead! How many of you out there would appreciate getting the DCM when you haven't even fuckedup yet?
Heyneke hasn't even lost a test and poepels here want to knife him in the back.
Give the guy a break. Give him some more time. He has pulled in some of our favourites he originally neglected. He hasn't totally ruled out Brussow. And Taute will come into the Bok mix when he is fit.
And then you get the chief poepol, Jake White, who perfected the way of playing rugby without the ball. Or so he thought. And now he criticises Heyneke for doing the same thing.
When he has the confidence to play Goosen as a starting option the game plan will evolve. And the outside backs will come into play.
1 Sep 2012, 16:12 pmthe 2007 lucky packet WC win was a regression for SA rugby. White fluked a non contest win against basically nobody 6th and 7th ranked opponents which set our rugby back by at least 2 decades which we still haven't progressed out of because every thick idiot still thinks this garbage which White introduced and entrenched as so called traditional SA strength kick chase trash is the forte by which all SA rugby should be played.
White was lucky beyond his own capacity and ability. He himself recognized exactly how inept and out of ideas he was which led him to hand over pretty much the entire coaching portfolio to Eddy Jones which absolutely visibly turned Boks around from one dimensional inept robots into more proactive decision making individuals in less than 3 weeks.
White is far better equipped now since learning much under the guidance and influence of more professional coaches hence his complete about turn in respect of bigger is better no fetchers required policy which he 100% has done a double take on since his famous 49-0 debacle. No international coach worth his salt loses 49-0 to anybody which indicates exactly how far out his depth this moron was.
Now the pathetic self styled idiot got the gall and audacity to attempt to undermine his successors who by and large are far better coaches than he was through their respective careers, the only difference being White got saved by a mentor and life saviour and a no contest WC to negotiate while others didn't.
1 Sep 2012, 16:12 pmHM: "Most tries come from broken field possession or turnovers and it's not about the game plan, it's about reading the situation," he said.
"The more experienced players read the situation better and Australia and New Zealand are better at it than us because of the way they are brought up as rugby players."
Im starting to get worried… WTF 'brought up as rugby players'! So what he's saying is that a player cant be coached to be a better attacking player!???
1 Sep 2012, 16:15 pmAnother voice of reason.
1 Sep 2012, 16:28 pmLOL
Jip that seems to be SAs favourite sport ha! Youre right, some perspective is needed… After sorting out the 6,7,8, 9 and 10 the team will be totally different. Still early days. Burger and Brussouw still need to return into the bok fold… Steyn's days are numbered and Hougaard's too.Even if the boks lose a few games on tour, its wouldve been worse if they lost with their best combinations… And they actually might surprise everyone and win a game or two!
EVENTUALLY the boks will regularly play these combinations, which will make a huge difference.
6. Brussouw/Flo/Kolisi (The boks havent even played a fetcher once under HM!)
7. Alberts/Coetzee/Burger
8. Vermeulen/ Kanko
9. Pienaar
10. Goosen/ Jantjies/ LambieOn Supersport.com HM:
"I'm a guy who backs the players, will give them continuity and once we've played away from home then I'll look at the combinations and be ruthless."
1 Sep 2012, 16:38 pmYou don't win 3n ir world cups out of luck.
Both mallett and White have criticised meyer and mallett was a helluva lot more scathing. Meyer has criticised his own players – so if we talking the prize for saintliness rather than rugby, who exactly casting the first stone?
The best ever coaching setup (apart from kitch) was 98 with mallett, solomons backs, meyer forwards, White technical – this coaching team setup the greatest number of test wins EVER
and then what happened they had a selection run-in over venter and White wad dropped and it all went tits up, mallett made 2 further mistakes in dropping teichman and then honiball.
All 4 brilliant coaches – the fkn dream team but as per usual their gdam egos got in the way.
1 Sep 2012, 16:40 pm@Jeez-76:
The thing is HM is prepared to learn from his mistakes. In this case by not picking a fetcher. With Brussow srill injured, he was prepared to go overseas to get his man. And people must give him credit for that.
He has now picked a pool of players of something like 40 players. Everybody now knows who is in mix.
And who is on the out.
1 Sep 2012, 16:51 pm@I am a stormer-78:
Thats so true. Yeah, hopefully he will learn some more and make changes everybody agrees with haha. Im sure a hell of a lot will change with the EOTY tour…He wouldnt have brought in Goosen if he wasnt thinking Steyn is no more than a short term solution. And if Vermeulen was fit, Spies probably wouldnt have made the starting team in the long run either.
TIme will tell
1 Sep 2012, 16:58 pmAnother example- he probably favours Coenie to Cilliers…
Perhaps next year:
1. Beast
2. Bis
3. Jannie/Coenie
4. Kruger
5. Esebeth
6. Brussouw/ Flo
7. Burger/ Alberts
8. Vermeulen / Kanko9. Pienaar
10. Goosen
11. Hougaard

As much as I thought him a bumbling bemooth, he formed a formidable loose trio with Rassie and Andre Venter before he retired. He was a hard but fair player. It is great to see his coaching returning to his playing roots and philosophy.

Good afternoon
I just wanted to record my appreciation of the superb customer service and highly competitive price when I ordered 4 pallets of wood pellets.
You kept me informed on all aspects of the order and delivery process in a very friendly and professional manner.
The pellets arrived yesterday in excellent condition and the delivery driver could not have been more helpful.
I will happily recommend Turf and Stuff to all my friends and neighbours.
Kind regards
Willie Macmillan Drumnadrochit
Once again your team have delivered an excellent service. Both pallets received in well under 24hrs from point of order. Palletforce service also commendable. Driver was most helpful and left pallets exactly where I wanted them placed.
I'll most certainly be back for more next year.

chrooting bitchx
Im having a problem chrooting bitchx I run ldd to list object dependecies that bitchx are using ldd `whereis BitchX` /usr/local/bin/BitchX /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.14.0 /usr/lib/libm.so.3.0 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.10.0 /usr/lib/libssl.so.48.0 /usr/libexec/ld.so and copied it (as root) to my chrooted directory, cp /dev/MAKEDEV to chroot dev directory, change to /chrooted/dev and execute sh MAKEDEV all then $ sudo chroot /chrooted/ /bin/sh but when I try to run BitchX. Im still having some error # BitchX Version (BitchX-1.0c18) Process[17200] Using terminal type [vt220] setupterm failed: -1 so we'll be running in dumb mode... I think I've created all the dependencies and all the dev files. any suggestions? did I miss something? thank's in advance! |
My guess #1: the mount point for /chrooted is set nodev or nosuid.
My guess #2: the application attempts to mknod(2), which isn't permitted in a chrooted environment.

I mount the chrooted directory without nodev and nosuid so I guess it has something to do with mknod... gheee!... Its harder than I thought.. I think I have to google more how to jail most of my programs,thank's for d reply.
I just want to update my post.. I solved my problem.. I run systrace and found out that I have to copy /usr/share/misc/terminfo.db to my chooted directory. It work..
---- I have used chrooted environments quite a lot. Not for security, except for the default chrooted Apache or chrooted BIND. Instead, I've used them as inexpensive ways to get high-performance virtualization -- via a 100% virtualized filesystem, of course. Unfortunately, imposed limitations on chroot for security, such as mknod(2) restrictions, can render chrooted environments unworkable for any number of applications.
OpenBSD LiveCDs/LiveDVDs |
What are the advantages of chrooting bitchx or another IRC client? Security?
Yes. chroot(8) effectively changes the root directory such that the "real" root directory, configuration files, libraries, & binaries not present in the chroot'ed directory are completely hidden/inaccessible/protected from a process running in the chroot'ed directory.
Given the shenanigans & holes exploited in the IRC world, chroot(8) can help secure a client's system from malicious intent. |
Here's one perspective on naked chroot:
OpenBSD LiveCDs/LiveDVDs |
Can you now put into context for me the following
http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=a...20090201164147 I am first and foremost interesting in chroot and jails as additional security tools. I am not interested in virtualization at all. |
Logical Domains are an architectural feature of some UltraSPARC systems, basically a hardware assisted virtualization.. totally unrelated to this chroot/sysjail discussion.
As mentioned by jggimi, sysjail was an effort to create a FreeBSD jail-like environment for OpenBSD/NetBSD using existing frameworks, chroot(2) and systrace(4). A long standing assumption has been that systrace is completely secure, it clearly isn't.. but it can be used for temporarily restricting access to specific system calls and resources. For example, it might stop an evil program for doing evil things.. presuming the program isn't aware of a systrace vulnerability. Quote:
FreeBSD jails have a lot of kernel support, the architecture is different.. presumably this is all documented if you're willing to search for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_jail http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systrace http://sysjail.bsd.lv/ I hope that clears some things up, UltraSPARC LDOMS are a possibly similar but different topic. |
Solaris "Zones" are jails, as I understand them -- the Global Zone is the native userland, other zones are jails.
Unfortunately, Sun has made Zones an intentional obfuscation -- as they not only offer some jail techniques, they also provide some hardware virtualization management interfaces on those Sun platforms that support hardware virtualization. Sun, by the way, has had hardware virtualization capability since they acquired the SGI division of Cray that made the CS64000, re-badged by Sun as the E10000. Hardware virtualization has been around since the mid-1980s on large scale servers. It began, I believe, with Amdahl Corporation's Multiple Domain Facility (MDF) for their System/370 compatible mainframes.

Be Good
CD (Item 600582) Motema, 2012 — Condition: New Copy
Wonderful work from Gregory Porter – easily one of the best new jazz singers to emerge in the past decade or so, and one whose approach is soulful enough to rival the greats of the 70s! There's echoes here of Bill Withers, Gil Scott-Heron, and Al Jarreau – and like all those artists, Gregory's a singer who really moves past simple styles and generic conventions – into a mode that's vivid and rich right from the start, and defiitely his own territory – a world of sound that's a delight to experience! Most backings are straight jazzy, but inflected with some soul modes – and the album's even better and more incredible than Porter's debut for Motema. Titles include "On My Way To Harlem", "When Did You Learn", "Mother's Song", "Imitation Of Life", "Our Love", "Be Good", and "Painted On Canvas". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

What's in the heart
One of the great things about America is our democratic form of government, a government for the people by the people. Thomas Jefferson said, "The purpose of government is to enable the people of a nation to live in safety and happiness. Government exists for the interests of the governed, not for the governors." So in the spirit of democracy I'd like to propose a piece of legislation for our representatives to consider.
The people of Venezuela have been through a public journey of mourning following the death and funeral of their long-time president, Hugo Chávez. The only thing close to the public spectacle of grief for a leader like it in this country might have been the aftermath of the death of FDR, or the assassination of President Kennedy. Whatever anyone thought of Chávez, it's clear that a great many of his people loved him and supported his policies.
Deputy County Administrator Frank Rogers should be applauded for a proposal that takes care of two problems at once.
Why anyone would feel the need to give props to recently departed Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez seems beyond explanation, but it's certainly all the rage this past week for folks on the left. Suddenly this inept, dictatorial politician is eulogized as a conquering hero, a champion of the poor, a standard-bearer for all that is right and good.
A tax disincentive I would like to share my perspective on the impending Transportation bill awaiting your signature. My background is in engineering, thus I try to evaluate problems from an analytical approach. The one part of the bill that seems completely contradictory to existing Virginia code (law) pertains to the proposed $100 annual fee (tax) on hybrid vehicles. I will not cite the complete code regarding energy; however, I am listing a few specific line items to illustrate my point:

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Utah's "Zion Wall" may soon be coming down! The (so-named) wall is the hidden area in new Utah restaurants where alcoholic drinks are made without customers watching. This is to prevent children from seeing the alcohol.But ABC 4 News has learned talks have now begun to do away with the "Zion Wall."Those said to be involved include power brokers from the alcohol and restaurant industry and, perhaps, some legislators as well.
In 2009, Governor Huntsman loosened liquor laws and did away with private clubs.But to appease anti-alcohol forces, the "Zion Wall" was created.This, again, was to protect Utah children.ABC 4 News is also being told that legislators may soon debate a new idea, one that would do away with the "Zion Wall" and instead create a separate bar area in restaurants. This way, drinks could be made out in the open but children would not be allowed in the bar area.Now, three years ago, when the "Zion Wall" was created, there was already concern about it. The head of Utah's Restaurant Association told ABC 4 and others that the wall would discourage restaurants from opening in Utah.It appears many Utah restaurants haven't changed their opinion about the "Zion Wall."

Pierce County leaders, panicked by a proclamation from Assessor-Treasurer Dale Washam, have offered him extra money to follow state law.
It's an effort to defuse a fiscal time bomb that could blow up in the faces of local governments and leave taxpayers with a bigger bill. The numbers are unclear, but the prospect is plain: existing property owners getting a tax bill as owners of newly constructed properties go tax-free for a year or more.
County leaders were worried enough this week to suggest an emergency infusion of $20,000 to Washam's budget. State tax collectors at the Department of Revenue, equally concerned, sent a note to Washam on Monday, urging him to follow the law.
The debate, which has raged internally for several weeks, revolves around new construction and associated property taxes. Under state law, county assessors are supposed to inspect all new construction by July 31, and report the associated values by Aug. 31.
Washam has suggested knocking off a month early. In an internal directive to staff members delivered June 13, Washam told appraisers to stop inspecting new construction at the end of June – a month before the state deadline.
The order sent a shock wave that reached the state Department of Revenue.
"It's unprecedented for an assessor to tell his employees two months before the deadline not to pick up any new construction," said Mike Gowrylow, agency spokesman. "We've never heard of that before."
Washam wants his appraisers to focus on physical inspection of existing properties – his top priority and signature issue since taking office. He believes past property assessments were tainted by the use of computer models in a previous administration, though state records show the computer-generated values met international standards of accuracy.
Spurred by the county's decision to add money to his budget, Washam told staffers Wednesday that he would continue inspecting new construction for one more week. In response to a question from The News Tribune, Washam emailed a one-word answer ("Yes") when asked if he would use the money to continue inspecting new construction – but that still leaves additional weeks of work before the deadline, and Washam's intentions remain unclear.
The fear among county leaders is that Washam will create a new problem by trying to correct an old one. The number of new properties that would go uninspected and the amount of related money is uncertain; Gary Robinson, who heads the county's budget and finance department, has asked Washam's office for those figures. He didn't have an answer as of Wednesday evening.
New construction means new homes, new improvements and new money – a rare commodity in lean economic times. Local governments count on it every year. New construction also eases the tax burden on existing property owners.
"If you don't pick new construction up, it's a double hit on taxpayers," said John Arthur Wilson, King County's chief deputy assessor. "It leaves them shouldering more of the burden than they probably rightfully should have. That's nutty; it's going to cost them some real money."
For local government agencies (cities, schools and fire districts, among others), new construction money is a critical factor in budgeting. What's more, state law requires inspection of new construction – a mandate just as forceful as the requirement to inspect existing properties.
"They're twin mandates," said Gowrylow, the Department of Revenue spokesman. "The one thing in favor of picking up new construction is that it adds new revenue to the local tax rolls. There's also a fairness issue. Some people could have a home that they've built and don't have to pay any taxes on it while everybody else pays taxes."
Washam's latest decision stands against the backdrop of a long-running feud with county leaders and his stormy tenure in office, which has led to multiple internal investigations, damage claims, legal fees of $412,000 and settlement payouts of $1.13 million to current and former employees. This spring, county council members passed a resolution declaring no confidence in Washam and urging him to resign.
News of Washam's June 13 directive reached county budget analysts and set off alarms. Robinson spoke to Washam and Albert Ugas, Washam's chief deputy, trying to reach an agreement.
In an email to Robinson, Ugas said the assessor's office would need eight employees working overtime for two months to complete the new-construction inspections.
That prompted the county's offer to fatten Washam's budget with $20,000 to pay for overtime or temporary hires to complete the job.
"We want to encourage Mr. Washam to do the right thing," County Executive Pat McCarthy told county council members Tuesday.
Council members agreed; a subcommittee voted to allocate the $20,000 to Washam's budget. The full council expects to follow through with a final vote July 10.
"For a smaller district fire district or something, these can be substantial dollars," said Councilman Rick Talbert. "We need to get the message out there that this is the right thing to do."
The Department of Revenue chimed in with a letter sent Tuesday.
"Failure to place all new construction on the assessment roll would create inequities among taxpayers and affect local taxing districts' revenue," the letter states. "Those property owners with new construction would not pay taxes on their new building value while other property owners pay tax on the full value of their property. Taxing districts, including local fire districts, library districts and others, would not receive funding they are entitled to."
County Council chairwoman Joyce McDonald followed up Wednesday with another letter to Washam.
"The consequences of not completing the work on (new construction) could be devastating and long-lasting for many taxing districts, especially in light of the continuing drop in the value of existing property," the letter states.
Though Washam extended new-construction inspections by another week, it's unclear whether he will go beyond that date. If he tables new-construction inspections, county leaders are prepared to consider legal remedies, including court action, said county Prosecutor Mark Lindquist.
"If the cooperative approach doesn't work, in the prosecutor's office we're prepared to pursue legal means to protect the taxpayers," Lindquist said.
Staff writer Steve Maynard contributed to this report.

UNION — The Union County stop on this year's Memorial Week Blood Drive by The Blood Connection resulted in the collection of enough blood to save as many as 168 lives.
The blood drive, which runs through Friday and will be conducted throughout The Blood Connection's service area, is designed to collect blood for the 22 hospitals supplied by the organization. The hospitals are located in northeastern Georgia, western North Carolina, and northwestern South Carolina and include Wallace Thomson Hospital which, in 2012, received 1,346 units of packed red blood cells from The Blood Connection.
Union was one of the blood drive's first stops with the organization's bloodmobile spending much of the day in the Walmart parking lot collecting donations from local residents. August Garrett, accounts coordinator for The Blood Connection, said the stop in Union was successful one with blood collected from most of those who offered to donate.
"We did really good, we ended up seeing 69 people and ended up with 56 completed units of blood," Garrett said Tuesday. "We have to have a full pint of blood in the bag when you are in the chair. If the person either clots up or gets sick it prevents the bag from being filled. When that happens we have to discard the blood."
Garrett pointed out that each pint of donated blood can save up to three lives and that the hospitals like Wallace Thomson served by The Blood Connection have different options on how to use it.
"One bag can either be taken and split into platelets, plasma, and red blood cells or you can take it as whole blood," Garrett said. "The way the blood is preserved depends on the need of the hospital."
Garrett said that while donated blood has a shelf life of 42 days, none of the blood collected by The Blood Connection ever remains in storage for so long that it has be discarded. She said there is a constant need for blood at the hospitals served by the organization which is why the blood collected is soon put to use.

I have black people next door, and Mexicans across the street.
I guess that makes me the white trash.
My neighbor is black, but he's a karl malone type black redneck. His mother in law brings me fried pig balls.
Mexicans. Used to have a mexican family living behind me, and they were usually nice quiet people. Now and then they'd have a fiesta, but it was on the weekend, so it didn't bother me.
Major Cattitude
We have this little old Mexican grandma who lives down the street and sometimes she makes us tamales or mole.
We also have the Mexican guys who sell strawberries, oranges, ice cream, corn on the cob covered in cheese sauce, churros,and these strange looking orange chips.
Some of you might call it the barrio. I call it convenient.
Lived in a lot of low income neighborhoods, my best neighbors were Mexican, Nicaraguan, etc. Quiet for the most part, family-oriented, not involved with crime or shady stuff. Hate the bad rep they get in the U.S..

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Betty White isn't the only woman of a certain, ahem, older age still thriving on television.
Jeanne Cooper is right there with her.
Cooper plays wealthy Katherine Chancellor on "The Young and the Restless," which aired its 10,000th episode Thursday. She joined the CBS soap a few months after it debuted in March 1973, and is its longest-tenured cast member.
Cooper, who turns 84 next month, shows no signs of slowing down.
She said this week: "What would I do? I'm no good at crocheting. My fingers would bleed."
Like White, who is 90, Cooper authored a book about her career titled "Not Young, Still Restless." At a recent signing, the grandmother of eight said some fans stayed the entire evening, awed at meeting the grand dame of fictional Genoa City, Wis.
"I'm very motivating for some people," said Cooper, who makes infrequent public appearances. "It's a character, as rich as she is, that has ordinary problems. If you impress one person to a better way of living, you've transferred what you should do."
Cooper recalled a recent visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get new plates for her car. The employee behind the counter whispered to her, "I know who you are."
"It has its perks being Mrs. Chancellor," she said, laughing, "and if I have to use it, by golly, I'll use it. I'm through standing in lines at my age."
While other soaps' ratings have dwindled or the shows have been canceled as the daytime audience has shrunk, "Y&R" has been TV's top-rated soap since December 1998. Cooper attributes its success and longevity to the writing that created likeable characters. Continued...
"That's the mainstay of the show," she said. "You've always been able to become involved, whether you were wealthy or whatever your status is, our show hit the human being."
"The Young and the Restless" will celebrate its 40th anniversary in March. New executive producer Jill Farren Phelps, who previously oversaw "General Hospital," and new head writer Josh Griffith are cooking up story lines that include the return of Jess Walton, who plays Jill, later this fall, and emotional, professional and surprising physical challenges for the Newman family.
"Jill is making it a little sharper to meet the demands of where things are today in the world of very fast films and lazy minds," Cooper said.
One of Cooper's proudest moments was when her real-life facelift was televised on the show in 1984 as her character underwent the surgery at the same time. Call it TV's first "extreme makeover" in daytime.
"It opened up reconstructive surgery for so many people, youngsters getting things done," she said. "To this day, people will come up to me and say, 'Thank you so much for doing that. My mom or I had something done, and not just cosmetic surgery.' That was an incredible experience in my life."
Unlike a lot of actors, Cooper fesses up to having had her eyes done and a slight chin tuck. Three days a week, her trainer arrives at her hilltop home in Los Angeles at 6 a.m. to put Cooper through stretching and exercises.
"Then I get my tush to work," she said in her famous throaty laugh.

The men's basketball team, which opens a new arena on campus next month, won just 11 games last season and went 4-12 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Some fans might be displeased that athletic director Dan Radakovich has decided to leave and take the same job at Clemson while the Yellow Jackets endure these growing pains.
But interim athletic director Paul Griffin says the school's two biggest revenue programs — football and men's basketball — will not be neglected during the search for Radakovich's replacement.
"Dan's departure is a big deal, but it's nowhere near a crisis in that perspective," Griffin said.
"I think Dan's greatest contribution is the fact that he's built a strong management team of lots of people with not only talents and skills but experiences."
Football coach Paul Johnson has known since late summer that Radakovich would likely be a strong a candidate for the job at Clemson.
Considering that the Yellow Jackets have lost four of their last five games, it might seem that the loss of Radakovich could diminish Johnson's support in the administration, but Johnson is not concerned.
"As far as from a program standpoint, you move forward," Johnson said.
"I'm sure they're going to hire a qualified person to be the athletic director and what I've got to do is try to make sure we're given the means to be successful on this level."
Johnson said his primary focus this week is to help Georgia Tech (3-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) win on Saturday at Maryland (4-4, 2-2).
The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 41-17 home loss to Brigham Young in which Johnson's spread-option offense set new lows during his five-year tenure for fewest offensive plays, lowest time of possession and fewest rushing attempts.
Georgia Tech, which began the game as the nation's No. 3-leading rushing offense, went 0-for-10 on third down.
Poor tackling and missed assignments hurt the defense. On special teams, BYU gained 148 yards on four kickoff returns, and the Jackets had a punt blocked and missed a 35-yard field goal attempt.
"It's still a young football team," Johnson said. "Basically there's three seniors on offense and two that play on defense, so at times we have a hard time staying focused. The maturity level is probably not what you'd like all the time, but I don't know that you can put one description on them, really."
Johnson indicated he likely will start fifth-year senior Tevin Washington at quarterback, though redshirt freshman Vad Lee could earn additional snaps.
"We're committed to Vad playing," Johnson said. "A lot of it's going to depend on practice. I talked to both of them yesterday, and they understand the situation. They've both got to get ready to play, and as the week goes on, we'll figure out how we're going to do it."
Radakovich, who was in his sixth year at Georgia Tech, hired Johnson and men's basketball coach Brian Gregory to turn around their respective programs.

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Legislature will concentrate on ironing out differences between the House and Senate versions of the supplemental budget bill this week.
Both the House and the Senate on Friday approved the supplemental budget with their own particular amendments.
Senate President Tony Ross, R-Cheyenne, and House Speaker Tom Lubnau said Friday that they expect each house will appoint a conference committee early in the week to reconcile the differences.
"It's entirely possible you could have a conference committee agreement by the end of the week," Ross said.
Among the notable differences in the House and Senate versions of the budget is an amendment approved only in the Senate that would require the UW Board of Trustees to report to the Legislature on the installation of permanent artwork, how college deans are selected and on the razing of historic buildings.
On the issue of employee pay raises, both houses approved giving state employees a 1 percent "retention incentive" bonus.
However, the House approved an amendment that would reduce bonuses paid to teachers by the amount of any pay raise they received in the coming year. While most state employees haven't seen raises in several years, teachers are on a different system and have received periodic raises.
Gov. Matt Mead had asked lawmakers to put up $60 million to cover the costs of what promises to be a serious fire season this year. The Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee cut that down to $32 million. The House approved an amendment to allow the governor to spend another $15 million if necessary from a landfill fund, while the Senate rejected the amendment.
"It's kind of a guessing game," Ross said on Friday before the Senate vote. "We don't know what the needs going to be. While there is the potential for another heavy fire season, it's kind of up in the air if it happens or not."
In other action this week, Ross said he expects the Senate will consider a bill to raise the state fuel tax 10 cents a gallon. The measure would raise roughly $70 million a year for the Wyoming Department of Transportation and local governments.
House Majority Floor Leader Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, said Friday he expects that a bill that would allow the use of suppressors on hunting guns will come up in the House on Monday for debate.
Two other gun bills that already have cleared the House have not yet been scheduled for hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
One bill, sponsored by Rep. Kendell Kroeker, R-Evansville, would specify that Wyoming wouldn't be bound by any federal gun control action to try to restrict the sale of assault rifles or high-capacity magazines and make it a crime for federal officials to try to enforce them. Critics have said the bill's provisions would be unconstitutional.
The other bill would strengthen language in state law specifying that the state pre-empts local governments on the issue of gun control.
Ross said he can't predict what the Senate will do on the gun bills. The Senate Education Committee on Friday killed a bill that would have let some people carry guns on school campuses.
"I think we'll be a little bit more measured than the House on them," Ross said of the gun bills.
House Speaker Lubnau, R-Gillette, responded, "The Senate's less responsive to lobbyists' intimidation."
Ross said it's one thing for Wyoming lawmakers to say they don't want to enforce federal law with regards to taking away Second Amendment rights. "It's another thing to say those who are employed by the federal government, our United States District Court judges and U.S. Marshals, and whatever, are guilty of a felony if they're doing their job," he said.

One of my threads has been deleted. It was the one discussing the ethics of Prostitution.
When a mod deletes a thread, are they supposed to contact the Original Poster?
Last time I read it, it was a simple discussion on pagan ethics.
Surely we aren't like conservative Christians? Heck, there are heaps of discussion threads on christian boards about this, they even have sections for sex industry survivors.
Was the thread deletion a mistake?
If not, why the wierd censorship and not telling the OP?
It looks like it wasn't even locked, just deleted.

I'm Thankful I Won The Lottery
This Thanksgiving Day I'm most thankful for the freebies that came along with my winning lotto ticket.
The biggest lottery on earth is the one I already won the day I was born; and I'm living off the interest with every turn of the globe. On this Thanksgiving Day, I find myself most thankful for the things that came along with that win with no price tag attached.
Five Free Deals that Beat out Black Friday
What Black Friday special is more valuable than the eyes with which I see the faces of those I love, or that let me watch the blue sky billowing forth, splashing out its constant portrait of motion? When I look up at the infinity of stars dancing across the heavens, my eyes let me know that however great my imagination, it will never reach an end of things to explore and discover. And though no price could be too high that I wouldn't pay it for one glimpse of the midnight sky; its emissaries laugh at the idea of purchase, sending out their lumination freely flowing.
I appreciate the faith that children give me. I get such hope for the world from watching little ones. They give out their hearts, speak the truth—and share their tears and hugs—with such unmeasured abandon. Wordsworth was right when he said they are the ones closest to heaven, which trails about them in their infancy. I love that they have not picked up societies' yard stick for judging a person's value. The day before Thanksgiving, no doubt thousands of people took no notice and hurried right past some of this world's most wondrous lords and ladies, who had ventured out cloaked under wrinkled masks. But the little sages; they can't be fooled—they will rush screaming Thursday to greet their regal visitors. In that state still so close to heaven, they'll see the queen behind the mask, and know she's far greater than Cleopatra in all her glory, and they'll take their stand beside the god they know surpasses any nation's king, and proudly call him "Grandpa."
I'm grateful the God I feared was an exacting lord before whom I would always fall short, turned out to be a life-giving spirit sacrificing wildly beyond what is reasonable, believing in me long past the failures any mortal would endure—and willing to wait with the water-on-rocks-patience that only those who love deeply understand.
I am grateful that my mom and dad showed me by their examples that pleasing crowds is a worthless pursuit. When I see someone being left out for weightless reasons and watch the chic passing them by, noses raised—fearing to lose an ounce of their popularity by association—I'm glad that my parents inspired me to find that I can sit down at the table with the outcast and sometimes discover a giant.
I'm thankful I am never bored. One peek out my window and the universe bursts upon me, whether shrouded in clouds or light. The day waits for me with bird songs, the bustle of squirrels, kittens coiling ready to spring forth their mirth in play, fields open for exploration, and lakes flinging out the sun from a thousand crystal facets.

Illinois budget sets out $12 million increase for Amtrak
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — One area of state government that's not facing cuts under Illinois's worst-ever budget is its support for passenger rail service.
Gov. Pat Quinn is seeking to increase spending on Amtrak service in the state by $12 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reported (http://bit.ly/ZoBE2S ) that the 46 percent increase would bring total spending to $38 million for routes from Chicago to St. Louis, Carbondale and Galesburg.

Atmosphere: 17/20
You may recall that we've begun visiting restaurants in college towns around the state to correspond with our Teenage Bottomless Pit's impending decision on where he's going to go to college. TBP won't be going to Dartmouth (we wish!), but he had to be in Hanover recently for a sporting event, so we tagged along to watch, to check out the Hood Museum, and for our next dining adventure.
Hanover's food landscape, both in terms of cuisine and price points, puts our humble but beloved Durham's to shame. From Mediterranean to Asian, burgers to haute cuisine, the choices befit an Ivy League market. But since our objective in this college-town series is to choose places that parents might take their students when visiting or that students might choose for a nice yet affordable date venue, we opted for Molly's, located right in the center of the action in downtown Hanover just steps away from the famed Dartmouth Green.
Molly's is big, bustling place with seating for scores of diners in several rooms. The decor is engaging, comfortable and entertaining, something of a cross between Cheers and a Dartmouth sports museum in an arts-and-crafts style space.
The tables are covered with craft paper torn from large rolls with each new setting, and alongside the condiments, a cup of crayons is standard equipment - handy for allowing our waiter, Alex, to introduce himself by writing his name, upside down so we could read it, on the table.
The makeup of the crowd, when we visited at lunchtime on a Saturday, confirmed that Molly's fit our target: Parents with their students, young couples and groups of friends - young and old - were all enjoying themselves over the great range of offerings from Molly's menu. The menu is a great mix of casual pub/bistro fare, including sandwiches, pizzas, salads and full-on entrees, with vegetarian and gluten-free choices duly noted.
Since it was only lunchtime, and we had an event to get to, we tried to go light with our selections, at least to the extent possible when one is obligated to sample appetizers, entrees and desserts in the name of comprehensive journalism.
Speaking of appetizers, the hands-down highlight of our meal was The Dining Companion's Stuffed Crimini Mushrooms ($9). These delicious little caps, filled with a spicy stuffing of cracker crumbs, chorizo and red pepper and then beer-battered and fried, were buttery, slightly crunchy and absolutely addicting. Chipotle ranch dressing was a great dipping sauce - when we took the time to dip before popping the mushrooms in our mouths.
We also ordered the Bistro Truffle Chips ($4), not so much as a first course but to have handy throughout our meal. These potato chips were freshly fried (some dark, some light) and thick enough that they could be crunchy and still have a bit of potato texture inside. Perhaps my palate isn't sufficiently refined, but I wouldn't have known the seasoning was black-truffle sea salt if the menu hadn't told me so.
For my entree, I chose Fish Tacos with optional grilled Ahi tuna ($14). The sliced tuna was excellent, browned outside and still pink in the middle with a soft, buttery consistency and a mild but distinct flavor that might have been lacking had I stayed with the standard fried haddock. The two soft taco shells were more like mini pita loaves, thick, fresh and tender. The guacamole that provided the cushion between shell and tuna was nicely seasoned with just a bit of a hot-chilies kick. On the down side, the accompanying corn and bean salsa and brown rice pilaf were unremarkable, and the whole thing benefitted from a big squeeze of lime, which I had to request.
TDC chose Pan-Seared Thai Chicken ($12), which was served over confetti Jasmine rice. The chicken was perfectly cooked, moist and tender. The flavors in the sauce - composed of coconut milk, green curry, ginger, scallions, sweet bell peppers - blended wonderfully, but the plate was overflowing with sauce and snow pea pods. Half the amount would have been just right.
Who orders dessert with lunch? We do, at least when we're working. Thankfully, Alex the waiter warned us that Molly's desserts "tend to be kind of big," so that affirmed our plan to order one to split (and two more to go for The Bottomless Pit and his buddy, who were off working up an appetite at their track meet).
We chose the Mud Pie ($6), and indeed, it was huge - as big as my hand. It was also ridiculously good. Our only complaint was it was a bit too frozen, which made it hard to get through the two layers of ice cream and the hard-packed Oreo cookie crust with a spoon. Still, a good splash of hot fudge and some whipped cream make it easy to overlook a few faults.
The boys were happy - and were the envy of their teammates - with their delivery of carrot cake and strawberry cheesecake. Even THEY thought the desserts were massive, but that just gave them more incentive to polish them off.
We finished our lunches satisfied - and slightly overstuffed - and happy with our choice. If we (or our college-bound offspring) were going to spend any amount of time in Hanover, we'd be excited by the smorgasbord of dining options available to us, but we'd also be glad to have Molly's to rely on as a fun, comfortable and affordable home base.

Expose the hypocrisy of the 1916 Commemorations! On April 16th the Irish state is conducting a military style parade of its forces through Dublin city centre in commemoration of the 1916 insurrection and those who lost their lives in it. The hypocrisy is glaring.As death and carnage spread through Iraq and as the death toll rises incessantly ,the Irish state stands guilty of complicity in this abhorrent slaughter through our facilitation of the U.S war machine. Comments (4 of 4)

your parade is proving nothing if you say your anti-imperilism then you should be celebrating the 90th aniversary of the actions of oghlaigh na heireann not highlighting something as insignificant as planes stopping to ru-fuel. you should show your sence of duty to your country and support the irish troops who only attempt to defend their nation and help in peace keeping missions through out the world
by nestor Tue Apr 18, 2006 16:26
Since when is Iraq a "peace keeping mission", and since when does allowing US planes to stop over in Shanon constitute helping Irish soldiers to defend their country ?
