(FOX 11 / AP) While the neighborhood where "Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker died in a fiery crash is known to attract street racers, law enforcement officials do not believe the Porsche he and a friend were riding in had been racing another car.
Accident investigators "have received eyewitness statements that the car involved was traveling alone at a high rate of speed," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement Monday. "No eyewitness has contacted the (department) to say there was a second vehicle."
Walker and his friend and fellow fast-car enthusiast Roger Rodas died Saturday when Rodas' 2005 Porsche Carrera GT smashed into a light pole and tree, then exploded in flames. The posted limit was 45 mph.
The two had taken what was expected to be a brief drive away from a charity fundraiser and toy drive at Rodas' custom car shop in Valencia, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Walker's publicist said the action star was the passenger.
The crash happened on a street that forms an approximately 1-mile loop amid industrial office parks. It is rimmed by hills and relatively isolated from traffic, especially on weekends when the businesses are closed.
"It's well-known out here that that's a hot spot for street racers," California Highway Patrol Sgt. Rick Miler said.
Skid marks are a testament to past antics on the loop. The sheriff's department, which polices the neighborhood, said Saturday's wreck was not the first speed-related crash there, but would not reveal specifics.
Meanwhile, investigators are consulting video from security cameras, talking to witnesses and analyzing physical evidence such as on-board computer data from the Porsche.
A steady stream of fans has flocked to the crash site to leave flowers, candles and memorabilia from the action films.
On Monday night, a private memorial for survivors and the cast and crew of the "Fast & Furious" movies was held inside a white tent erected around the crash site. When it was over, Walker's co-star Vin Diesel emerged to thank fans for paying their respect to the actor.
"Thank you for coming and showing that angel up in heaven how much you appreciated him," Diesel said to the crowd, using the bullhorn of a police cruiser.
Officials have not named either person found in the car. The bodies were so badly burned by the fire that engulfed the wreck that dental records will be needed to confirm their identities.
Walker and Rodas had bonded over their shared love of fast cars.
Rodas, 38, and Walker, 40, co-owned an auto racing team named after Rodas' shop, Always Evolving. Rodas was a financial adviser as well as a professional driver who competed in 10 Pirelli World Challenge GTS races in 2013. He finished second in rookie of the year standings, circuit spokesman Dave Drimmie said.
Walker starred in all but one of the six "Fast & Furious" blockbusters. He had been on break from shooting the latest installment; Universal Pictures has not said what it plans to do with "Fast & Furious 7," currently slated for a July release.
The LA Times excellent film critic Betsy Sharkey called Paul Walkers sudden fiery death ''heartbreaking irony''. That's a good way to put it.
Today, as has been the case since Saturday afternoon, hordes of people have found their way to the crash scene in a fairly distant section of Valencia. They bring flowers, momentos, photos, they write a few words on posters or carve their message into one of the trees the Porsche Walker was in slammed into before exploding into flames.
Walker, apparently the passenger in a half million dollar Porsche Carrera GT being driven by his friend and business partner Roger Rodas, had just left a charity function sponsored by his ''first aid' organization called "Reach Out Worldwide". The fans who came to see the spot where he died said they loved him because he was a good actor, good looking ( the ladies were unanimous on that ) but that he radiated a sense that he was a good person, who cared about others and wasn't just caught up in being a star. There is no answer to the question of ''why bad things happen to good people". Things happen.
An investigation may or may not turn up why the driver of the car lost control. Speed was no doubt involved. Things happen. We move on. Seems Walker will be remembered as one of the good guys.
LOS ANGELES (FOX 11 / AP) - A fiery car crash near Santa Clarita has killed 40-year-old Paul Walker, the star of the "Fast & Furious" movie series, and one other person in the vehicle.
Deputies found a Porsche Carrera GT engulfed in flames when they responded to a report of a collision Saturday afternoon in the community of Valencia, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. Two people who were found in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
Walker's publicist Ame Van Iden confirmed the actor's death. A statement on Walker's Facebook page said he was a passenger in a friend's car, and that Walker was in the area to attend a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide.
The Sheriff's Department said that speed was a factor in the crash.
The Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported that the Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames. The fundraiser, to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan, took place at a nearby racecar shop. Attendees rushed to put out the flames with fire extinguishers to no avail.
"All of us at Universal are heartbroken," Universal Pictures, which has released the "Fast & Furious" franchise, said in a statement. "Paul was truly one of the most beloved and respected members of our studio family for 14 years, and this loss is devastating to us, to everyone involved with the 'Fast and Furious' films, and to countless fans."
His "Fast & Furious" co-star Vin Diesel posted a photograph of him and Walker arm-in-arm on Instagram with the message: "Brother I will miss you very much. I am absolutely speechless."
Walker rode the "Fast & Furious" franchise to stardom, starring in all but one of the six action blockbusters, beginning with the first film in 2001. The blond-haired, blue-eyed Los Angeles-native brought California surfer good-looks and an easy, warm charm to the popular street-racing series.
The son of a fashion model and a sewer contractor, Walker grew up in a working class, Mormon household in Glendale, Calif. The oldest of five siblings, Walker's mother began taking him to auditions as a toddler. He was a child model beginning at the age of 2.
Walker has said the early induction to show business wasn't to start him on a career path, but as a way to help provide for the family.
After a string of TV roles as a child in the '80s, including small roles on "Who's the Boss" and "Charles in Charge," Walker made his feature film debut in the 1998 comedy "Meet the Deedles." Supporting roles in the films "Pleasantville," ''Varsity Blues" and "Flags of Our Fathers" followed.
His performance in the 2000 thriller "The Skulls" caught the eye of producer Neal H. Moritz, who cast him in "The Fast and the Furious" as undercover police officer Brian O'Conner. Adapted from a Vibe magazine article about underground street races, the film became an unexpected hit.
In the sequel, "2 Fast 2 Furious," Walker moved to center stage with Diesel temporarily dropping out. Walker, a self-described "gearhead," kept his character's sports car from the film.
Walker starred in other films, including the crime thriller "Running Scared," the Antarctic adventure "Eight Below" and the heist film "Takers." Though his stardom didn't make as much of an impact outside the "Fast & Furious" series, Walker continually drew praise from his co-stars and directors as a kind-hearted and eager collaborator.
"Your humble spirit was felt from the start," Ludacris, Walker's "Fast & Furious" co-star, said on Twitter. "Wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers."
"Fast & Furious" proved unusually enduring. Released in May, "Fast & Furious 6" was the most lucrative of them all, grossing more than $788 million worldwide. The seventh installment began shooting in September, with a release planned for July. The film's production was on break with more shooting to be done.
Walker stars in the upcoming Hurricane Katrina drama "Hours," which Lionsgate's Pantelion Films is to release Dec. 13. He also stars in "Brick Mansions," a remake of the French action film "District B13" in post-production that Relativity plans to release next year. "Paul was an incredibly talent artist, devoted philanthropist and friend," Relativity President Tucker Tooley said in a statement.
He formed Reach Out Worldwide in 2010 to aid people struck by natural disasters.
A friend of Walker's who attended the fundraiser Saturday, Bill Townsend, told AP Radio, "He was very happy. He was smiling at everybody, just tickled that all these people came out to support this charity. He was doing what he loved. He was surrounded by friends, surrounded by cars."
Walker is survived by his 15-year-old daughter.
From Alexandra Limon:
Hundreds of people visited the site where actor Paul Walker and a friend, died in a crash. One of the mourners was Walker's co-star Tyrese Gibson who held a single yellow flower and broke down in tears.
Other sad fans and friends also paid their respects, "He was really sweet and adorable. I loved watching his movies and they made me really happy," said Milan Linzy.
"I was like in shock, it's hard to believe it," said another fan, Grace Costanza.
Walker was best known for his role in the Fast & Furious franchise, it's unclear what will happen with Fast & Furious 7 which was already in production but unfinished.
"I think maybe they should finish making this next movie, and then call it quits after that, in respect to him," said fan Nick Krivack.
Fans are shocked that walker died in a while riding in a high performance car, much like the ones in his movies. The Sheriff's department confirmed speed was a factor in the crash.
"This is a little bit ironic, with the movies and the fast cars and things like that. We don't know that it was reckless type of driving though," said Michelle Linzy.
At the scene that was now crowded with fans, you can see skid marks and damage to a tree.
The blond hair blue eyed star was at a charity toy drive Saturday afternoon – then walker and a friend - Roger Rodas - left in the Porsche. Friends say Rodas was driving.
Marty Codnon was driving home shortly after the crash happened, "They say squashed like a pancake, that's what it was like. I don't it would've gone up to my waist if it had gone by, there was just like nothing left," he said.
While visiting the scene Tyrese didn't talk to reporters, but he did post a message on Instagram, Vin Diesel and other stars from Fast & Furious have also posted messages of condolences and grief on social media.
The Walker family told FOX 11 they are grieving and not ready to speak to the media.

Topic - Ice Axe Sharpening / Shaping
neuromancer - on 14 Nov 2012
I've seen the UKC article on what to use for sharpening, and how to hold the axe e.t.c. but I couldn't find anything on shaping the end of the blade.
I bought a pair of secondhand flys (see other thread), and the blades look like this:
I want them to look like this:
But I can't do that as the end piece of metal that acts as the pick rest is gone and only a spike remains. Should I sharpen two of the end teeth off? Three? This would result in a flat piece that is above the level of the prior teeth. Should I make new teeth? Is this axe blade done for - retire it to drytooling and buy another?
Or should I just sharpen the teeth and top and allow the axe blade to use its front few teeth as a stop in the ice?

Ever since they were first domesticated some 6,000 years ago, horses have played a vital role in human life and history.
Using new photography of the many horses to be found in the collections of the British Museum, this book explores the depiction of the horse through the ages and celebrates the relationship between horses and humans.
Featuring many stunning objects such as the Horse of Selene and the gold model chariot from the Oxus treasure, the book also illustrates a wide selection of lesser-known treasures taken from the Palaeolithic period to the present day. Comparing and contrasting images of horses from different periods and different parts of the world - from Egyptian tomb paintings and Celtic metalwork to prints and drawings by artists such as Durer and Stubbs - it's also packed with illuminating information on subjects as diverse as grooming and shoeing, heroes and their horses, women riders, horse armour, and horses in myths and legends.

Editors' review
Hotspot Shield for Mac gives you the ability to surf the Internet securely, even when you're connected to public Wi-Fi networks. You can turn on or off your protection at any time, and you can see clearly what the app is doing to protect you through its straightforward interface.
Flexible plans: Depending on how much you think you'll use the Hotspot Shield, you can pick a payment option that fits your needs. For example, you can purchase a whole year of unlimited coverage for $29.95, one month's worth of service for $4.99, or 20 passes for $10. On the left side of the interface, you'll see how much time or how many passes you have left, and an option to purchase more. And you do get a few days to try out the program before you have to commit to buying any time.
Quick walk-through: While this app doesn't have an overly complicated interface, it is nice to get a little tour. And that's exactly what the program provides with a quick tutorial that highlights different aspects of the display to explain each in a bit more detail.
Interference: This program can interfere with your ability to log on to certain sites because of the way it masks your IP address. In fact, using Gmail can be a bit of a hassle, because the random locations Hotspot Shield shows you logging in from trigger Gmail's built-in security features, so you may get blocked from logging in and receive messages about unauthorized attempts to access your account.
Bottom Line
If you often log on to the Internet using public Wi-Fi networks, this app can be a good investment. It works as intended, and it shows you exactly what threats it's blocked and how much data is going in and out of your computer while it's turned on. Just be aware that you may have issues accessing some of your key sites.
Publisher's Description
With over 250 million downloads, Hotspot Shield is the world's most popular Virtual Private Network (VPN) that allows you to access blocked websites and services online, secures your browsing session, protects you from hackers and WiFi snoopers on public WiFi networks, makes you anonymous and untraceable on the Web and detects and blocks malicious websites.
With Hotspot Shield, you can:
- Unblock blocked websites and content in your country
- Get access to geo-restricted service including Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and BBC
- Become anonymous and untraceable online
- Unblock blocked sites at school and work networks
- Get protected from hackers and snoopers on public WiFi networks

I sent this product to three different groups of people. Everyone loved it! They didn't share with me, though.
This was purchased as a gift for a teenager I didn't know very well. I was happy with the quality, packaging, sizes, and quantity. Nice gift.
this was a gift for my sister and approved of it upon arrival....it was cute bottles and she did not want to open it....Kept it intact,....NICE GIFT
This is about the 4th one of these I have bought - it is always a big hit!
Sent this to a cousin of mine who is in the hospital. He was absolutely thrilled to receive it but it took him two days of wondering before calling to find out who sent it since the card I requested wasn't in the box. I had seen another reviewer say the same thing. I would love to say surprise someone with this fantastic gift but the truth is, you'll have to call and warn them.
I bought this for my mother who Loves Coca cola products. She was very disappointed in the Quality! =(

- Second visit and still impressedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Again, food, service ambiance were phenomenal. Will continue to recommend and definitely visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OKJkf23Dined on 9/26/2014Hostess was very nice. The rest of our experience was average. Server was busy. Food was mediocre. Jicama salad was letdown.....5 pieces of overly spicy jicama with canned mandarin oranges on wilted lettuce.Special Features:
- Steak from hellONHRSBKDined on 9/26/2014My husband and I both ordered steak dinners. Both different selections. We both had the toughest steak we have ever had. I could not even cut it without so much effort I thought my knife was bad. Then I looked over and my husband was trying to cut his steak too. Same challenge. We told our waitress. She said, oh, I am so sorry. Then one of the owners came over and sad oh gosh I am sorry. No offer to try a new meal, no offer of any kind. We could not even eat our meals. Then the bill came. No adjustment of any kind. We had eaten there a few years ago and it was great. Thus our desire to return. We will never return to this restaurant and will tell our friends to avoid this restaurant. Extremely disappointed!
- Estrella: A Paso Robles StarsharinecuisineDined on 9/26/2014I have enjoyed lunch and dinner numerous times at Estrella since the restaurant opened, and have had a consistently great experience. The service is really perfect: Estrella's friendly staff seem to genuinely care about their guests, and their timing is good. The menu provides a wide variety of well-prepared starters, salads, and main dishes, with a short but excellent list of beer and wine from the Paso AVA and around the world. For wine lovers: ask to sample a wine before you decide! The food is generally rich in meat, oil, butter, cream, and cheese, but this is the way most people tend to eat; so if you are looking to go lightly, opt for one of their salads without meat or cheese, and a cup of soup. Enjoy your meal in the inviting decor!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Doesn't DisappointAuvevyDined on 9/19/2014This was our 4th visit to Estrella and they didn't disappoint. Food, wine, and service were great. We started with taquitos that were delicious. My husband had the rellenos and I had the coconut white fish, both excellent choices. Would definitely recommend visiting!Special Features:
- Good FindLMJFLDined on 9/14/2014The service was exceptional. Food choice and quality very good. Would recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExceptionalToobadDined on 9/13/2014Food was amazing. The flavors were both subtle and bold. The portions were very large. We would have ordered less to save room for that maple bacon cheesecake if we had known. The interior design was beautiful. Even the ladies room sink! This was such an inspiring find. Thanks to trip advisor for their reviews.Special Features:
- Only so-soTwoOldShoesDined on 9/6/2014Despite our having a reservation and the restaurant less than half full we were seated in the worst table possible, upstairs, in a corner, underneath a blaring speaker. We went back to the hostess and asked for another table. Not sure why they insist in seating patrons in the back while the tables in the front go unused. As to the food, my wife's house salad was quite good and the chile relleno was filled with a generous portion of crab. My cactus paddle/mushroom soup was a bit too spicy and the halibut slightly overcooked. The dessert, the Chocolate Kahlua Torte, had a graham cracker crust that was so hard we could hardly cut into it. A piece went flying into the air on us! Overall, it'll be a while before we go back to Estrella.
- Great dinner!LuckylocalDined on 8/24/2014Had an early dinner with four girlfriends on a Sunday evening. We were one of the first tables to be seated, but the place filled in quickly thereafter. We shared two appetizers and two entrees which was plenty of food for all of us. Also, ordered two reasonably priced and very good wines--one from Argentina; the other from Spain. Our server, Greg, was very knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend dining there and look forward to going back in the future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary DinnercfrancisDined on 8/16/2014My husband and I tried this place for dinner for our 22nd wedding anniversary and what a gem we found. The food was amazing and very tasty. The service was top notch and the owner or manager even walked from table to table talking to all the guests. Wine list was extensive and the dessert to die for. We do not normally eat dessert, but we got a free dessert for our anniversary. Casual wear or dress up it does not matter. The next time we take a weekend trip to Paso Robles, we will stop by this place for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great New FindNew2areaDined on 8/13/2014We were in Paso Robles a few weeks ago and saw this new restaurant, unfortunately already had our dinners reserved. Luckily we came back up for vacation and tried Estrella. Everything we tried was delicious and wish we could have had tried more. Probably most notable tapas we enjoyed were the chile rellenos. Yummy! Service was excellent.Special Features:

- BEER AND WINE BAROpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/8/2014The only down side is they only serve beer and wine. No mixed drinks.Special Features:
- Fantastic food!Skiburb1Dined on 7/26/2014Such a delicious sounding menu we needed more time to decide what to order. There were 4 of us, and we (of course) all wanted to order something different so we could 'taste' as much as possible. My husband ordered the top of the list, and decided as we return he will work his way down the menu..LOL! Everything sounded absolutely delicious, but different. And it WAS! The wait staff was extremely helpful in explaining anything we didn't understand, as to sauces, different chilis used, etc. I'm not necessarily a fan of real spicy food, but the spices used were just perfect. You can order a hotter dish of course, but most sauces I tasted on our four ordered were scrumptious!!! From the tapas, to the beer and wine to the entrees and dessert. A+Special Features:
- Awesome!!musiclady18Dined on 7/18/2014I LOVE eating at Estrella! Chef Travis and Chef Michael never disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten free happyGFplusDined on 7/17/2014Many delicious gluten free or gluten free options which are identified on the menu. I have more food restrictions than just gluten free and one of these restrictions was in my salad even after asking our server about any other ingredients in the salad not listed on the menu. They kindly replaced the salad for me. Their salads are excellent and a good meal. The music is wonderfully appropriate, both Latin influence and volume. You can hear one another speak which is quite refreshing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice night out!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/12/2014We had a party of seven with one being an infant and were seated immediately upon our arrival. We were seated upstairs and initially found the air condition ducting (providing cooling to both upstairs and downstairs) to be a little close to the tables due to low ceilings but were able to adjust. Food and drink were outstanding, would recommend to others.
- Fantastic flavorsGustavoDined on 7/11/2014Attention to detail in all areas! 5 of us passing tastes around. Every bite creating a smile with amazing flavors. 2 different chile relleno dishes done superbly. I'd be a regular if it wasn't a 5 hr drive. Lovely staff!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Tapas and Local Wines2texasbikersDined on 7/7/2014We travel the country during the summer months and checked into our hotel and asked for a great place to each. We are all about flavors so we reviewed the 3 restaurants we were referred to from our hotel. Estrella went to the head of the list. Local wines to sample and drink and a Tapas menu. We like flavor and small amounts of food. It was an awesome meal. Our server was very knowledgeable in the wine and foods. We normally don't eat dessert. We topped our evening off with a Mint Choc Chip cheese cake....YES everything we ate was full of flavor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just so so...oneill626Dined on 6/14/2014Nice ambience...friendly servers...main spice seemed to be on the hot side...7 diners at our table and 7 different entrees..non were very memorable and everyone left a good portion on their plate as the food lacked real taste.Special Features:
- The following 51 reviews are from the Estrella reviews archive.
- Lovely dinner with our grandparentsAntNRissDined on 6/1/2014We planned a dinner in honor of my grandmothers birthday an amazing 70 years. First time using open table I have to say extremely satisfied and impressed. We booked the table while on our hike using our mobile device. The server read all the notes I had typed and surprised my grandma with a very pleasant happy birthday and also was aware it was their first experience with Estrella. Amy was our server a beautiful young lady whom spoke very proper and was attentive to all our tables needs. an amazing dinner experience all the way around: food, service, ambiance, oh and lets not forget dessert!!! Thank you open table & Estrella for one of the best dinners i have ever had with my grandparents.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Rave Review/FabulousSchincatDined on 5/25/2014One of those places that is so out of the ordinary that it makes you want to return time and time again. The food tasted special, a chile relleno but with a flavor different than any other I have tasted. Wonderful salad and appetizer. I just don't think you can wrong eating here. The chairs deserve a special mention. They are comfortable! Yes, truly comfortable chairs that you would be happy to have in your own home. Service with a smile, honored the reservations as soon as we walked in the door.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- live2eatDined on 5/24/2014all six of us were very pleased with the food and the service. Luckily they put us upstairs. There were two large wedding parties downstairs and it would have been quite noisy downstairs.Special Features:
- something differentMaryDined on 5/23/2014A great menu with some interesting choices. The salsa and chips that start your meal are great munchies, with an interesting touch. The service is outstanding. We had three tapas - I wouldn't recommend the "fondue" as it is just melted cheese that congeals into a rubbery mass. But I would definitely go here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MrandMrsTVIPDined on 5/19/2014We had excellent service. Our server offered a sample of the wine we ordered before bringing our bottle. She suggested we linger over our desserts. Food presentation was creative. Seating extremely comfortable. My husband's rib eye was perfectly cooked and tender. The scallops appetizer (in a martini glass) was an unusual presentation. Definitely a go-back-to place.Special Features:
- Estrella is a starSteakloverDined on 5/17/2014Dinner was delicious. We ordered a meat dish and fish. Both were excellent. The ambience was great. Plan to go back to try the tapas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reheated and overpriced!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014My entree (ribeye steak) was overpriced I ordered a medium steak what I got was well done and parts of it rare. Ive never eaten a steak cooked so unevenly. We also ordered some yucca fries as an app and they came to us reheated! Ive cooked and eaten yucca my entire life and I know reheated yucca when I taste it. It's texture hardens and is impossible to enjoy reheated. The chimichurri sauce was blended instead of diced and made fresh then dumped on the yucca fries. An argentine would commit hari kari if he/she would have tried it the way it was served. Having grown up in NYs melting pot Ive tasted and enjoyed some of the best ethnic food and this was nowhere near calling itself a star! Don't waste your money.
- Great Spanish Food!GraceVIPDined on 5/16/2014I'll start off I did not like the yucca fries. But, everything else we had was delicious. The crispy masa cakes with chicken was tasty! I ordered the chile rellenos with pork. The best rellenos I have ever had. The rice was very good, too. My boyfriend ordered the braised beef enchilada. Very flavorful. The portions were quite large and priced well. We will definitely come back again!Special Features:
- PasoLocalDined on 5/15/2014Ambience is excellent; recently completely remodeled so everything is up to date and new. Good menu, good food, moderate prices. Wait staff wasn't very attentive.Special Features:
- Alway goodbeardinerDined on 5/9/2014Took some out of town friends to dinner at Estrella. Excellent meal as always. Service a little slow but it was a full Friday night. Sat in the upstairs room which is a little uncomfortable for me due to my height. A great place to show off the best of Paso Robles to friends from out of the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good FoodloloDined on 5/9/2014This was my first time dining at Estrella with my husband and friends. My friends had been there once before and they had said it was very good. Very impressed with cuisine. Good flavors and portion size was great, bigger than I expected. Were seated up in the balcony which made for neat ambience. Wait staff was good. Were there for dinner and would like to try there lunch sometime. Will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Satisfying Experienceram918Dined on 5/8/2014Easy reservation process through OpenTable. I was relieved Estrella served dinner late, which accommodated our schedule, and the dining area atmosphere was relaxing. The flavors of the dishes we ordered were complex and very good, (I enjoyed the higher-end, thoughtful flavors given by the chef), and the server was pleasant, approachable, and professional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food in Downtown PasorickgaskinsDined on 5/2/2014We had dinner here on a recommendation from friends and they definitely did not steer us wrong. The food was interesting and very good, the wine list was full of local surprises. But best of all was Joel's attentive and enthusiastic service. His knowledge of the local wine and the vineyards were most helpful and we enjoyed our weekend all the more because of his advice. Will Eat Here AgaoinSpecial Features:
- Tasty Food, Great WineOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 4/12/2014My husband and I were able to secure a last minute OpenTable reservation for dinner at Estrella. The food was tasty, and we really enjoyed the queso appetizers. Two negative criticisms: The prawns were way overcooked and it would be nice to have a tomato based salsa in addition to the black bean / corn salsa. Overall, we enjoyed it and had a nice dinner.Special Features:
- Nice FindOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/4/2014Had an excellent time at Estrella. Has to be one of the best in Paso Robles. The food was creative and excellent and service was top notch!Special Features:
- Yet Another Great Visit to EstrellawineanddineDined on 4/3/2014Visited Estrella when they first opened two years ago. Great experience. Brenda the owner was at our table with several bottles to make sure we chose the perfect wine with dinner. Two years later, they are still there and still wonderful. Still have the Jamaican Seafood Curry on the menu - wonderful - my partner and I are officially in a rut. Had the seafood curry two years ago as well as both nights of our stay in Paso Robles. This time it was Eric (manager) that was all over making sure we had the right wine. He recommended a Tempranillo from Stanger Vineyards that was spectacular. Table service by Javier was perfect (he was perfect 2 years ago as well and he remembered us!). Will have to return to try other items on the menuSpecial Features:
- Excellent meal, lovely ambienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/31/2014We went to celebrate an anniversary. The food service and surroundings were excellent. We were slightly disappointed that there was not a full bar, but the wine list was diverse and excellent. The same can be said for the menu selections - diverse and excellent. Some of the menu items were not available and that seemed strange since the restaurant was not that busy. We give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that they wanted to serve only what was fresh. Overall it was a great meal in a very lovely place.Special Features:
- Wasn't what we were looking forrlstantnDined on 3/29/2014Unusual and creative small plates in wine country was what we were looking for. A group of us wanted to bring our own wine for an after wine-tour evening out, and Estrella sounded good. Nice reviews, tapas, a south-american/carribbean vibe, best of all they could accommodate 10. Unfortunately, food was so-so. Typical mid-market mexican fare. Tapas were limited to 6 choices, and the entree menu (we would have skipped if small plates had more variety) was overpriced. 2 steaks were offered, 2 of each ordered, all were tough and crudely seasoned with cold sauces, making the whole thing cold-to-lukewarm. That said, duck tamales and chile rellenos were pretty nice. We had a good time, thanks to our own wine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great AtmosphereJH69Dined on 3/22/2014A very comfortable dining experience. I had the steak special which was just ok. The appetizers were very good and the shrimp tacos that my table mates ordered were very good. Service was great and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Why you can't afford to ignore latest big data breach
The number of affected users keeps growing, and it's hard to know precisely how much potential damage there is. But the risks of digital carelessness could not be higher.
This post comes from Adam Levin at partner site Credit.com.
If you're one of those folks who believed that "it will never happen to me," when it comes to identity theft, the hack of Adobe's internal database isn't just bad news -- it's scary. It is increasingly inevitable that every business will suffer some kind of data breach -- and that each of us will be a victim of identity theft, possibly as a result of one of those breaches. Suddenly, just being careful about your own information is no longer enough to keep yourself safe.
If there is one universal truth about identity theft, it's that you'll never know how bad it is until long after you've been put in danger (if you ever really know). The Adobe hacking situation illustrates the growing problem with identity theft and how ordinary people are often the real targets of hackers who target big companies.
It all started when Adobe reported the breach of more than 3 million customers' information (including password-identifying information), then upped the number to 38 million. Last week, it got a whole lot worse when an outside company found the data of some 152 million Adobe customers on a site frequented by cybercriminals. That could mean that the Adobe hack is the largest in history.
But if that wasn't bad enough -- and make no mistake, it's bad enough, given how many people commonly reuse passwords across accounts and choose to use unsafe passwords like "password" -- Adobe spokeswoman Heather Edell confirmed to Reuters that "source code to several software titles" was stolen in the breach. So far, Adobe has disclosed only that the hackers took source code for its Cold Fusion (a Web development application) and Acrobat (the program that builds .pdf documents), though it's been reported that at least Photoshop and Reader were similarly accessed.
Why you should care about stolen source code
The obvious issue for Adobe with the theft of its source code is that their expensive products can now more easily be pirated. But beyond that, as previous hacks have shown, the cybercriminals who slithered away with their source code and their user database can use it to make much more than mere mischief -- especially as almost anyone who uses the Internet likely uses at least one Adobe product.
To understand how this kind source code theft could affect a company's customers, one need look no further than the challenges faced by RSA, a cybersecurity company whose database was breached in 2011. That breach resulted in the theft of source code related to its SecurID product -- the little electronic tokens that cough up a new passcode every time you try to log into an account. Though RSA announced they caught the cyberintruders in April 2011, it wasn't until June that they publicly admitted the hackers compromised its source code and replaced millions of tokens for its 25,000 customers.
In the meantime, at least one of RSA's customers, Lockheed Martin, experienced a breach made possible with the hacked tokens.
It's worth pointing out that the RSA hack reportedly originated from a problem with Adobe Flash that the hackers exploited after getting an RSA employee to open an infected Microsoft Excel file, and the Adobe hack reportedly used an exploit in its own Cold Fusion program. Finding more exploits like these is just one way that hackers could use the source code to commit even larger crimes and wreak even greater havoc. In the Adobe hack, the bad guys know which programs specific users have, making it even easier to engage in phishing to get people to download malware disguised as updates.
The scope of the attack is still unknown
And despite the risks, Adobe is still being circumspect about what exactly was taken and what problems customers could face from the damage inflicted on the company -- not that Adobe is unique in its circumspect disclosures. Compared with many other companies, Adobe is being enormously transparent. A new ThreatTrack Security survey indicates that as many of six in 10 data breaches that are discovered are not publicly reported.
In this case, Adobe is sending snail mail to users like me (and emails to others) warning that my data might, or might not, have been compromised weeks ago. But, in the meantime, even Facebook has used the hackers' database to determine which email and password combos apply to their users' accounts and locked those accounts down until they can be verified.
The truth is that we don't know exactly what the hackers spirited out of Adobe and what they can do with that data -- and it's possible that Adobe doesn't know, either. It's likely we won't know much of it for a while, if ever.
Actions to take going forward
So what should you do? Be really careful with what files you open right now, with what links you click and even with what emails you read (if you don't have pictures blocked). Make sure you have and are running the most up-to-date antivirus software that also scans for malware.
Also, change your passwords -- right now. Don't use the same password for different accounts, especially for your financial and email accounts. Never use the word "password" or any other word found in the dictionary; those are really easy for hackers' programs to guess. Instead, in addition to letters, use numbers, symbols and punctuation marks to make your password harder to decipher. For financial accounts and email accounts (which can be used to reset passwords on other accounts), insist on two-factor authentication (a password and another form of identification determined by your email provider).
A data breach like this one can lead to identity theft, which takes a huge toll on your credit. And, obviously, look twice at any email purportedly from Adobe encouraging you to download updates or new versions of the software.

A data breach can only occur if there is actually data there to steal which is why I don't use much of my personal information anymore. Sadly, many of these companies can't keep their software secure, much less expect end-users to be secure. How can people put faith in using this software or technology if companies who design it aren't protected? Unfortunately, all of this technology is out of control, and we need less software packages that do what can be done in other ways anyway.

a collection of thoughts and writings on Burma
It's almost been 3 years since I last posted. I'm so grateful and amazed that my humble blog has remained a forum for many folks interested in Burma. I truly appreciate every comment I receive, every piece of feedback. That said, a lot has happened since then, both in my personal life and in Burma. Only a few years ago, all the New Light of Myanmar frontpages featured men dressed in military outfits. Nowadays, the same men grabbing headlines are donning Mandarin-collared taikon eingyi, Burmese turbans and silk paso.
It's amazing to see the pace of change in the country. But I honestly believe much of it has been rhetoric. But these changes are reversible, no doubt. Laws are meaningless if there's no body capable of enforcing them. Officials still lack accountability, important in any democracy. The country is still weak and many of the Socialist-era and SPDC-era institutions (such as the country's censorship body, the Press Scrutiny and Registration Board along with a smorgasbord of restrictive laws) remain in place. And I've seen little news about the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which was formed the day after SPDC was dissolved. According to the Constitution, the NSDC will supposedly step in during periods of martial law, but it's a vaguely defined institution.
Yes, the country has opened up in some ways. The US and EU are have begun engaging with the Burmese government, soon after denouncing the deeply flawed elections. Aung San Suu Kyi is free and campaigning nationwide to become a member of parliament in by-elections this April. Many high profile political prisoners have been released.
Thein Sein gained international credibility by postponing, not permanently stopping, construction on a dam. The Myanmar Times reports:
The dam will be postponed until at least the end of the government's five-year term, President U Thein Sein announced..
Similarly, the government halted plans to build a 4,000 MW coal plant in Dawei (which has been designated a Special Economic Zone), after protests by an environmental group. (But the Italian-Thai Development firm is still continuing with plans to build a 250 sq. km, $50-billion-plus site in Dawei, including a deep sea port, infrastructure links to Kanchanaburi province in Thailand, and a tourism resort.)
On the ground, the same old business seems to be in place, worryingly. And these are big problems to resolve. For instance, why did the Karen National Union deny signing a ceasefire deal with the government, 3 weeks after officials from both sides had signed one? The ethnic conflicts, like the one in Kachin State, are far from over. I sense that there's a deep disconnect between the civilian government and the military (highlighted by an evening raid to capture and interrogate the monk-activist U Gambira) and a deep disconnect between the national and local levels (local restrictions on NLD campaigning). Or perhaps as some Burma watchers have asked, is this all part of a bad cop, good cop routine?
Burma is a broken state. No amount of investment, foreign aid, diplomacy or outside incentives will fix the myriad problems the country still faces. As optimistic as I am about Burma's future, I predict that it will be decades before any substantial reforms are undertaken to improve the lives of ordinary people. The IMF had a rather optimistic assessment:
"The new government is facing a historic opportunity to jump-start the development process and lift living standards. Myanmar has a high growth potential and could become the next economic frontier in Asia, if it can turn its rich natural resources, young labor force, and proximity to some of the most dynamic economies in the world, into its advantage.
But, as this commentary highlights:
But investors expecting Myanmar to be another Vietnam are likely to be disappointed. Instead, they are likely to find a market more akin to Angola: a shattered nation with minimal human capital. Myanmar has a large labour force, but unlike Asian exporting powerhouses which focused government resources on education, the quality of its labour is extremely low. For nearly two decades, the former military regime shuttered the finest secondary schools, to prevent students from gathering for protests. Today there are only a handful of well-educated younger Burmese skilled in information technology, communications, or management, which would make it hard for multinationals to build an office of any size in Myanmar.
- "Beware talk of business-friendly Myanmar," Financial Times (Feb 20, 2012)
I think these two paragraphs pretty much sum up what the country needs to juggle:
Most of Asia's authoritarian regimes have done the economic reforms before they embark on or are thrust by protest into political opening, notes Dewi Fortuna Anwar, a political adviser to B.J. Habibie, who, as president, started Indonesia's transition to democracy. Anwar was in Rangoon last week. Burma's generals in new suits are trying to do both at once, as well as seeking peace with no fewer than 11 ethnic insurgent groups on its borders.
"This is a very special and uniquely challenging multiple transition," said Thant Myint-U, author of two widely read books on Burma and grandson of a Burmese foreign minister and United Nations secretary-general, U Thant. "It could get it wrong, with the wrong sequencing of reform, the lifting of sanctions and the kind of aid that is received."
- "Tractors may have replaced horses, but country is still decades behind" (February 10, 2012)
Will Burma be able to tackle both economic AND political reform at once? The new year has just begun and I'm very excited to return to this blog and continue to explore the dynamics operating in the Burma of the past, present and future.
Postscript: I apologize for these erratic trains of thought.
They are putting on a jolly good show for the benefit of both domestic and foreign audiences aimed at specific goals, some falling for it especially the international corporate and banking groups already itching for a killing. Foreign debt is supposed to be in the order of $11 b.
Superficially from what I've seen in Yangon and Mandalay, more new cars, not just almost uniformly white except buses wrapped in adverts, more neon signs, private petrol pumps alongside roadside stalls selling it in cans and bottles for the motorbikes, more tourists with the infrastructure struggling to cope, and yes, Daw Suu's pictures everywhere.
Unless we can believe that the same guys have undergone a Damascene conversion with a fundamental 180 degree change in their mindset and priorities, not just a change in their wardrobe and PR, a pretty impressive makeover, I'm afraid it ain't gonna happen.
They haggled over the release of the 88 generation student leaders and Ashin Gambira. Thein Sein continued to deny the very existence of political prisoners, and then said he had done enough so the ball was in the court of the US/EU (to lift the sanctions). They reckoned releasing Daw Suu (not until after the Nov 2010 elections) was already more than enough. She knowingly or unknowingly now fulfills the role of the monkey for the organ grinder. Despite what she said she aimed to do, she has the chance of a snowball in hell to amend the 2008 Constitution in this parliament, albeit with the big carrot of 2015 dangling enticingly like a mirage.
The big stick is held firmly by the 11 member a-ka-la or NDSC (National Defense and Security Council) with its token genuine civilian member the VP Dr Sai Mauk Hkam being used effectively in high profile opening various ceremonies and new bridges.
Meanwhile the war with the KIA rages on, and the ceasefire agreements not adhered to by the frontline troops; the dispatch rider apparently has yet to reach them. Persecution of dissident monks, land confiscation by the crony capitalist robber barons and the appalling wages and working conditions in the SEZs such as Hlaing Thayar also continue.
Their pressing concern remains touting for Western business, partly to reduce dependence on China but mainly to further enrich themselves and renew their stranglehold on the nation's economic and political life. They have made tremendous political capital out of the suspension of the Irrawaddy Myitsone dam project, more recently the Dawei coal fired power plant project, probably a clever trade off to keep the Shwe Gas project, with its access to the Indian Ocean, far more crucial to China than the dam (there are other dams along all the major rivers planned of course).

Saturday afternoon was the 'unofficial' kickoff to the U.S. Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium as the First lady took part in the festivities to help lead her anti-obesity "Let's Move" campaign.
"I think everyone should definitely join this campaign," said one attendee.
"It gets them to exercise and eat healthy," added another.
"You have to really take care of yourself, workout and eat well and keep those muscles going."
Hundreds of thousands of people will attend the U.S. Open in the coming week but on this day, it was all about the kids -- with a focus on staying active.
John Kearny brought his son Justin.
"Start early, eat healthy stay in shape and you'll live a lot longer."
In addition to promoting the healthy eating and activity, First Lady Michelle Obama also touted the U.S. Tennis Association's efforts to build thousands of new courts across the country and train new coaches.
"That's really what 'Let's Move' is all about. It's about helping kids across this country get active and feel healthy and learn the skills that you all are going to need to succeed not just in school but in life. You're going to learn things like hard work, team work discipline. That's why playing sports is so important," said Obama.
"It's a very historic day overall."
Sheena Ba and her daughter also happy to hear from the First Lady on the same day as the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march on Washington.
"We're so very proud and happy that we've made it this far and that we have Michelle Obama come and speak to us – it's a great day," said Bra.
Her 12-year-old is an up and coming tennis player and understands the message.
"It's really important stay healthy and eat right."
A formula for a successful life.

RIM chief executive abruptly ends interview
Mike Lazaridis calls off a chat with the BBC after deciding the questions were unfair.
The co-chief executive of Research In Motion (RIMM) abruptly ended an on-camera interview with the BBC because he thought the journalist's questions were unfair. Click here to see the interview.
The interviewer asked Lazaridis about Research In Motion's recent problems with governments in the Middle East and India over the security of the BlackBerry platform. The governments want decryption tools to be able to monitor messages sent from BlackBerry devices.
Lazaridis got prickly as soon as the subject was approached by Rory Cellan-Jones. "You implied that we have a security problem. We don't have a security problem," Lazaridis said. "We've just been singled out because we're so successful around the world."
The BlackBerry is an iconic product, Lazaridis said, and the company is being targeted because of its success.
Cellan-Jones pressed the matter further, asking whether Lazaridis could confidently tell users in the Middle East and India that they will have no problems with their BlackBerries.
"It's over," Lazaridis reponds. "The interview is over. You can't use that, Rory, that's not fair."
I agree with Lazaridis on this one. Because foreign governments -- and, undoubtedly, a certain amount of politics -- are involved, Lazaridis can't guarantee that BlackBerry users in those countries will have no problems.
Unfortunately, the way Lazaridis handled the interview has brought more attention to the subject than RIM wanted. There are plenty of ways to deflect questions like that without calling off the cameras.

The Chicago Bears say defensive tackle Nate Collins will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury.
Coach Marc Trestman says Collins tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and that the recovery will take eight months. He was injured rushing Drew Brees during the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Trestman says Collins will have surgery soon in Pensacola, Fla.
Collins is the team's second defensive tackle to tear his ACL along with Henry Melton, who went down against Pittsburgh on Sept. 22. The Bears signed Landon Cohen after he was injured.
Nose tackle Stephen Paea is also dealing with a toe injury that kept him out of Sunday's game.

And to be fair to Sony, this is almost certainly the result of an automated scanning system that identified what it thought was Sony content, and blocked it per Sony's policy on their own content. Whether or not that should be a valid way of protecting one's IP is a separate question, but I'm 99% certain there's no malice on Sony's part here, and it will likely be resolved within a day or two.

The Neglected Majority: 20th Anniversary!
By Anthony E. Beebe and R. Dan Walleri
It is the 20th anniversary of Dr. Dale Parnell's landmark book The Neglected Majority. In
this book, Parnell pointed out that for too long our educational system has focused on the highest
and lowest achievers. He made the case that most of those students in the middle two high
school quartiles neither prepare nor aspire to baccalaureate study.
A handbook for practitioners and administrators
This handbook is intended as a reference for key stakeholders regarding the realities of, and strategies for, student retention. It is our hope that it will serve as a compass for those charged with the complex task of improving retention at their campus.
This report reflects ACT's three-decade commitment to assist colleges and universities to better understand the impact of campus practices on college student retention and degree completion. During that time ACT has conducted many research projects that demonstrate that commitment.

Mercy Hospital makes a major announcement after receiving a $5 million gift from the United Arab Emirates this morning.
Several state leaders, Mercy officials and representatives from the UAE gathered at the site of the new hospital now under construction at I-44 and Main Street.
The UAE reached out to Joplin shortly after the storm, donating $500,000 to Joplin Schools and later sending volunteers to help build homes with the Habitat for Humanity.
Now, they plan to make a difference in healthcare for children.
Today, the country's ambassador to the U.S. announced a $5 million gift to Mercy Hospital. The money will fund a pediatrics wing as well as the hospital's first ever NICU.
Mercy officials say they are grateful to now have the opportunity to provide specialized infant care within the community.
"It will establish a state of the art care and service for many years to come," says Mercy Executive Vice President Mike McMurry. "Hospitals are rarely built and we live in them for a very long time. This hospital will stand as a testament to the will of the people of Joplin, but it will also stand as a sign of friendship of a great people many, many miles away."
During today's ceremony Ambassador Yousef al Otaiba commented on how inspiring the Joplin community has been to the people of his country.
He says it's that inspiration which has fueled this continued generosity.
Mercy plans to donate land at the old St. John's Hospital site to the Joplin School District, Stained Glass Theatre and the Joplin Museum Complex.
