9 things not to forget on your holiday party invitation and how to make it fun
Most of us put far more thought into planning a party than we do into choosing the invitation. But holiday party invitation wording is important. It lets your guests know what to expect, how to dress, and what, if anything, to bring. Is it a formal dinner or a kid-friendly sledding party? Your invitation sets the stage and communicates all the details.
First, the details. Have you ever sent out party invitations and realized, too late, that you forgot to request a response? Or got your own address wrong? It happens all the time here at Pear Tree! Here's a checklist of 9 things not to forget (and to double check before sending).

Tips for planning a Christmas party
We know that planning a Christmas party can be stressful, but we have some helpful tips from SheKnows.com on how to ease your mind.
1. Send your Christmas party invitations out early, at least a month in advance. The holidays get busy and it's better to have your party on everyone's calendar as soon as you start the planning.
2. Create a budget. Nobody likes a surprise when checking out at the grocery store. A little planning will go a long way.
3. If you are preparing the food, create a menu and timeline for when you need to shop, prepare and cook everything so you can be 100% ready. Prepare as much as you can in the days leading up to the party.

Gathering Holiday Party Theme Ideas
Our new favorite resource for creative ideas is Pinterest.com. Whether you're planning a holiday party, a wedding or a kitchen renovation, it makes browsing the Internet for ideas much easier and a lot more fun.
Instead of bookmarking, or worse, printing the ideas you love, you can 'pin' them to virtual bulletin boards on Pinterest.com. You can organize ideas by event, style, theme, or project, quickly go back to the source pages for recipes or how-tos, and even share all your ideas with friends. This makes it super easy to plan a party!
To show you how fun it is, we created a Pinboard to help us plan a holiday party using our Sketched Pinecones Holiday Party Invitations for inspiration. First we logged in to our Pinterest account and searched for "pinecone holiday décor" to find decorating ideas other people might have pinned. We re-pinned any images we liked, adding them to our Pinecone Party Pinboard.
Adding the "Pin It" tool to our toolbar allowed us to widen our search beyond Pinterest.com and pin images wherever we found them, crediting our sources and linking back to the details as we went. Quickly the theme began to come together, incorporating the cool aqua color, white feathers and pinecones in different ways. We found lots of DIY decorating ideas we loved, then searched for winter party food and beverage ideas, and pinned those, too.
Now that we have our party all planned, we can share the link with friends. If you have an account, you can follow our Pinboards at pinterest.com/peartreegrtngs and make comments, as well as create your own boards. If you like it, pin it. It's that easy!

Christmas Ornament Exchange Party
Last year, when we were decorating our Christmas tree, I noticed that our ornament collection was looking a little sad. Several were chipped or broken. The once shiny metal ones were tarnished, and the glass bulbs were cloudy. The collection has gotten smaller, as broken ornaments were not replaced. The ones that survived the toddler years are, for the most part, made of felt, metal or plastic.
Of course we have added quite a few beloved ones: the plaster-of-Paris snowman that weighs about three pounds and makes the tree lean to whichever side it's on. The thumbprints that say, "Thumbunny loves me," made in preschool, and the "My first Christmas" ornaments, to name a few. Still, it might be time to add to the collection.
I've always wanted to have an ornament exchange party. Pear Tree has the cutest tree-shaped, die-cut Christmas party invitations that would be perfect for an ornament exchange. Or maybe I'll suggest it to my girlfriends when we're talking about gift exchange party ideas this year.
I've never been one for themed Christmas trees, with matching ornaments and trendy color schemes. Christmas ornaments just don't have much meaning when you buy a dozen at a time. I love walking into a store that has thousands of ornaments and walking out with just one—the perfect one, carefully chosen for the friend who will think of me every time she hangs it on her tree.

It's homemade—the best kind of gift!
Many of us love to bake during the holiday season, and share our treats with friends and neighbors. Cookies, fudge, toffee, dipped pretzels, popcorn balls, flavored oils and vinegars, liqueurs—whatever you love to make is what makes those great homemade Christmas gift ideas, because they comes from the heart.
I love opening the door to our friendly neighbor, who is hand delivering her annual gift of chocolate-covered toffee. We exchange holiday greetings and catch up on the neighborhood news. She, like everyone I know who shares the gift of their cooking, simply loves to do things for others and never expects anything more than a happy greeting in return.

What are you thankful for?
If you are lucky enough to have a warm home to go to this Thanksgiving, filled with the mouthwatering smell of roasting turkey and the happy chatter of family and friends, then you have plenty of reasons to be thankful. It's easy to get swept up in the hubbub of cooking and decorating, not to mention family tensions, and lose sight of what's most important on this uniquely American holiday.

Fun Christmas Party Ideas: Cookie Exchange
A Christmas cookie exchange is one of those fun Christmas party ideas that puts everyone in the holiday spirit. Hmmm, could it be because you leave with dozens of cookies to eat and lots of new recipes to try?
I have to admit, I had an ulterior motive to hosting my first Cookie Exchange. I like baking cookies, but don't have the patience to bake more than one or two varieties. Hosting a cookie exchange would guarantee me lots of different kinds of cookies, and enough to last through the holidays!
The idea is pretty simple. You invite friends and ask them to bring cookies. Lots of cookies. Enough cookies to give half a dozen or a dozen to everyone attending. As the hostess, you get to set the rules (number of guests, amount of cookies to bring, how to package them, etc.) and you should communicate this information in your Christmas party invitations.
There are different ways to do it, but I invited eight guests, and asked each guest to bring eight-dozen cookies, all the same kind. It sounds like a lot, but most of my guests agreed that it was a lot easier to double or triple a single recipe than to make dozens of different kinds. Adding to the fun, I also asked each guest to create a recipe card for the cookies they made, and to bring enough copies for each guest to take home.
My guests arrived with large boxes and trays of cookies, and we set them all around my table. I provided each guest with an empty holiday cookie tin and wax paper for layering. (Lined boxes or plastic containers would also work.) We shared wine, hors d'oeuvres, and funny cookie-baking stories, but the highlight of the evening was parading around the table, filling up our cookie tins.
I expected the Christmas spirit, but was surprised by the feeling of sisterhood that developed. It felt like an old-fashioned quilting bee, where the women of the village join forces to create something we could never have done on our own. Everyone went home happy, with eight different kinds of cookies, a tin to keep them fresh, and recipes to try next year—in short, a very successful, very satisfying party.

Christmas card stuffing—it's a family affair
Sending Christmas cards can be a lot of work for one person. This year, make it a party and get the whole family involved. Stuffing envelopes and affixing stamps and address labels are jobs even kids can do. Here are some family Christmas ideas that will make it more fun:
- Have your Christmas card list, address labels, cards, stamps and envelopes ready to go
- Make it a festive occasion with some holiday tunes or holiday movies playing
- Break out old holiday photo albums to share with the kids
- Serve hot chocolate for the kids, wine for the grownups
- Use snacks as a reward for finishing a task (sticky fingers and Christmas cards don't mix)
- Be sure to have the correct postage on hand. Most of our cards require one stamp, but we do sell a few that require more postage. If you are using a Christmas letter insert, recipe card insert or extra photos, it's a good idea to weigh your card at the post office before buying stamps, just to be sure (self-adhesive stamps are easiest)
- Self-adhesive Christmas address labels make addressing your cards go twice as fast—and they add a festive touch to your card before it's even opened. Many cards have coordinating address labels designed to match!
Once you've got your Christmas cards and address labels ready to go, read more ideas on addressing Christmas cards on our blog. We'd love to hear more family Christmas ideas from you!

Article ID: 238145 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q238145
When you enable bandwidth throttling, Internet Information Services (IIS) activates a set of counters to monitor it in System Monitor (SysMon). These counters can be identified by "Async I/O" in the counter name. These counters are active only when bandwidth throttling is enabled. (If bandwidth throttling is not enabled, the counters appear in SysMon, but they always have a value of zero.)
The Async I/O counters are part of the Internet Information Services Global performance object. They represent totals for all of the IIS services. Bandwidth is not measured for each service. The following table lists and describes the Async I/O counters.
Collapse this tableExpand this table
The bandwidth setting determines whether IIS accepts or rejects a request for a static HTML page, based on periodic samples of the rate at which bytes are sent on the server.
If the bandwidth used (as indicated by the sample) approaches the maximum set by the user, bandwidth throttling blocks read requests, but allows write requests and transmission requests. Read requests are blocked first, because they are likely to result in further requests.
If the bandwidth used exceeds the maximum set by the user, bandwidth throttling rejects read requests, blocks large write requests and transmission requests, and allows small write requests and transmission requests.
To determine how many requests are being blocked and rejected, monitor the Async I/O counters. These counters display cumulative totals, so it's best to use the SysMon log to log the counter values. A spreadsheet can also be used to calculate the rate over time. SysMon can be used to notify administrators when the number of blocked or rejected requests exceeds a threshold.

Pioneer Chicken
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2010)
|open in Los Angeles. 904 south soto Los Angeles ca 90023
|Los Angeles, California, U.S
|Fried chicken
Pioneer Chicken, (or Pioneer Take Out, as it is officially named), is an American fried chicken restaurant which was founded in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles[1] in 1961 by H.R. Kaufman. When Kaufman sold the chain in 1987, there were 270 stores operated by 220 franchisees.[2][3] During the 1970s, several locations operated in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. As of 2015, there are only three locations remaining - two in Los Angeles and one in Bell Gardens, CA.
It was named after Pioneer Market, a now-defunct small chain of supermarkets in Los Angeles. The original location in Echo Park was located next to the 1980s era Pioneer Market (the original 1932 market having been torn down in the 1980s) and is (now a Walgreens Pharmacy) on Echo Park Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. Due to considerable redevelopment activity in the neighborhood caused by gentrification, it was shut down in March 2009. During the 1980s, Los Angeles Lakers announcer Chick Hearn and former football player O.J. Simpson used to advertise for the restaurant.
AFC Enterprises acquisition[edit]
In 1993, Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits owner AFC Enterprises purchased the franchise and converted most locations into Popeyes.[4]
There are three remaining locations in the Los Angeles area: 1) 904 S. Soto Street, Los Angeles; 2) 928 S Western Ave, Ste 139, Los Angeles; and 3) 6323 Florence Avenue, Bell Gardens. The location at 5970 W. Olympic Blvd. closed and moved to the 928 S Western Ave location in early-2015.
In Indonesia[edit]
In 1983, three alumni from the University of Southern California decided to open a Pioneer Chicken franchise in Jakarta under the name California Fried Chicken.[5][6] As of 2013, the parent company of the stores in Indonesia, Pioneerindo Gourmet International, currently have over 200 CFC restaurants throughout that nation.[7] CFC had a few franchises in Shanghai during the 1990s, but they may not currently exist.[8]
In popular culture[edit]
Warren Zevon's song "Carmelita" refers to Pioneer Chicken: "I pawned my Smith Corona / And I went to meet my man / He hangs out down on Alvarado Street / By the Pioneer chicken stand". In The Aquabats ' 1997 song "Magic Chicken!", the singer invites the listener to "Do the Pioneer!" during a funk breakdown where various chicken restaurant franchises are named.
In film, the opening of the movie The Last American Virgin shows a Pioneer Chicken location at the northeast corner of Hollywood & Western in the background as the protagonist Gary (Lawrence Monoson), drives off making a pizza delivery. The same location is shown in one scene in Death Wish II and towards the end of the Music video Rhythm Of The Night. The same location's likeness is shown as The Simpsons family home in the "Time And Punishment" segment of Treehouse Of Horror V
A Pioneer Chicken location is briefly shown in the background in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High during the restaurant scene involving the dissatisfied customer. The site was located on San Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California.

This week, Netflix did away with its Instant Queue and replaced it with a new and improved version called My List, which uses the service's storied algorithms to determine what people really want to watch rather than they say they want to watch.
Static: Netflix launches a new queue
Here is what changed: users will discover that all their selections from the outmoded Instant Queue have now been ported into the new My List.
But now the list is dynamic, its order changing to reflect the actual likelihood that you will want to watch a particular title in the near future.
After the change, I powered up Netflix on my iPad to discover that my entries were still there, but their order reflected my recent viewing history. "Orange is the New Black" rocketed to the front of My List because I had added it recently and subsequently binged on it like a dog locked in a butcher shop. Next up is "Breaking Bad," which fits tonally with "Orange," is a serialized pitch-black drama, and I recently did a refresher course on the show to get ready for the final season.
Because of that recent viewing history, everything else that lines up behind "Orange" and "Bad" makes a staggering amount of sense, including "The Walking Dead," "House of Cards," "Mad Men" and "Doctor Who," which all ranked highly on My List. The outliers are remnants from the days before this month's launch of Profiles, so my son's fervent "Phineas and Ferb" viewing still ranks high. This, no doubt, will change, now that he has his own Profile and is making his Netflix world a magical Disney Channel wonderland.

Adopted teens may be at higher risk of suicide
Adopted children may be more likely than their nonadopted siblings to attempt suicide, according to a new U.S. study, reported by Reuters Health. Researchers urged doctors to be on the lookout for signs of trouble in adopted-teen patients but said parents should not be overly alarmed by the study's results.
Tips for National Child Passenger Safety Week
To mark National Child Passenger Safety Week (Sept. 15 to 21), officials from Armstrong County Memorial Hospital caution parents about the most-common mistakes found with child safety seats, booster seats and seat belts in the family car.
• The harness straps holding the child in the seat are too high or too low. They should be over the shoulders.
• The chest clip is positioned over the abdomen or not used at all.
• The child seat moves more than 2 inches in any direction. It should move no more than 1 inch.
• The harness has more than 2 inches of slack between the child and the harness straps. There should be no slack.
• In booster seats, the lap belt is resting over the stomach instead of over the hips or thighs, or resting over the child's neck or face.

Media shield law praised by LeahySeptember 13,2013Media shield law
praised by Leahy
MONTPELIER Vermonts senior U.S. senator said its good news that legislation to create a federal media shield law has cleared a key hurdle.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said Thursdays approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which he chairs, could provide new security for journalists trying to protect their confidential sources.
Leahy noted that his parents ran a printing business and said hes been a long-time supporter of First Amendment rights.
The bill would establish protections for journalists who use confidential sources to find out what various government agencies are doing.
The action comes months after it was revealed the Justice Department had secretly tracked the newsgathering activities of 21 reporters and editors at The Associated Press and a journalist at Fox News.MORE IN Vermont News

Sandcastle: Impeccably Maintained/1 House off Sand
Send to a friend
From $350 / night
Description from the owner
Description from the owner
Bedrooms: 3/
Bathrooms: 3/
Sleeps: 7/
Type: House
CONGRATULATIONS! You have found a TRUE GEM amongst the many Newport Beach vacation rentals! Available year-round as a weekly/short-term vacation rental, and OWNER MANAGED, the RECENTLY REMODELED 'Sandcastle' is one of the nicest - and certainly cleanest and well maintained - rentals in the area! For the discriminating SMALLER family of SEVEN or less, we offer a great beach vacation experience in a lovely, warm and comfortable home on the Newport Peninsula.
With so many Real Estate Agency-Managed rentals on this site these days, we invite you to deal with us as OWNERS/Managers for the very best personal service only an Owner can provide! Read our reviews, what other guests have to say about us.
Enjoy a ground floor location and don't be concerned about who's staying upstairs...because it's just the two of us (Don't worry though, we stay out of your way; You'll hardly know we're around...unless you need us for something!) Since it's our house as well, we keep it looking it's best - all the time!
Located one house off the beach, and on a corner location, both the INTERIOR and EXTERIOR of the 'SANDCASTLE' were completely UPGRADED recently, to include new kitchen cabinetry & countertop, new bathroom cabinetry/countertops/fixtures, new tile shower in Master bath, a new leather sofa, new beds throughout, double pane windows and sliding doors (and blinds), new mirror sliding closet doors, new cabinetry throughout the unit, a flat screen TV and new artwork. On the OUTSIDE of the house, we've recently redone our stucco for a smooth look, adding architectural features including stone, korbels and shutters. It was wonderful before, and it's even more fabulous now!
The 'Sandcastle' is a 'HOME AWAY FROM HOME', with very comfortable furniture and a well stocked kitchen, with HDTV (with Satellite TV/70 free premium movie channels) in the main room - and another flatscreen TV in the master bedroom...Plus there's a terrific large front patio with table, chairs, umbrella, gas barbecue, and a partial view of the beach, that extends the living room to the outside of this downstairs Duplex unit.
The 'Sandcastle' is decorated in a 'beachy' style, with very nice artwork and colorful accessories. You can be ready to start vacationing from the minute you walk in the front door. We cater to smaller families, maximum SEVEN overnight guests (adults and children combined), looking for something 'nicer than the rest'. We don't accommodate large groups or gatherings, as we have a maximum of TEN (overnight and daytime guests combined) on the property at any time...one of the ways we are able to keep the 'Sandcastle' in the lovely condition it's in!
We do sleep 7 in beds:- Master Bedroom: California King bed, armoire with TV (with satellite/premium channels), large closet, and adjoining bathroom - Bedroom #2: Queen bed and dresser- Bedroom #3: both a Double and Twin bed and dresser - A hall bath accommodates Bedrooms #2 and #3 Pillows, comforters, mattress pads are furnished, and now bed linens and towels also will be included in our standard Cleaning and Linens Fee.
SORRY, but we have a strict NO PETS policy. Not inside the house, nor on the front patio either.
Located at Seashore Drive & 35th Street, we're one house off the boardwalk/sand/beach, and you should know that in this area, the distance between boardwalk and ocean is quite narrow (a real positive, very close), vs some other areas where the sand is 3x what it is by us. So that equates to you being very close to the surf at 35th Street, easy and quick to get from the house to the water. Also you're a short 10 minute walk to the Newport Pier and a good choice of restaurants; close enough to the hustle and bustle of activity surrounding the Pier, yet enough away to enjoy a book peacefully on the patio.
You're a short drive or bike ride to the Newport Beach Fun Zone, whale watching tours, boat rentals, wonderful shopping, etc. You're also not too far for a day's excursion to other great Southern California attractions such as Disneyland and the California Adventure Park, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Legoland, and more! If you're into swimming, surfing, or body boarding, take no more than 30 steps from your front door onto the white sand beach down to the awesome surf that has consistently ranked Newport Beach as one of the top beaches in Southern California.
And if you have little ones, the shore is gently sloped, so they can easily get their feet wet and play in the shallow water without being overcome with the waves. When you return to the house, rinse off under our outdoor tile sand shower - or in our new Laundry room shower.
RE: Credit Card vs Check...Previously we've taken only a check (or cash) to secure your dates. The price we quote you is our discounted cash/check price; Should you want to pay by CC, we now can accept a VISA or MASTERCARD, however we will need to pass along the 3% charge that we are charged...So if possible, do consider payment via check. We try to keep our costs as low as possible for you, and we haven't had any issues in 14 years of guests paying by check (though we recognize some guests just want the convenience of a CC these days).
We are honest and communicative Owners, and we maintain high standards in everything we do! As your hosts and proprietors Bill and Janice, we live in the upstairs unit of the Duplex, and we're about excellence in everything we do! Your vacation home will be ready and waiting for your arrival - impeccably clean with a welcome bottle of wine to start your vacation right! There's a book of 'Things to Do' with sights and restaurants we recommend, and we're happy to assist with suggestions to make your vacation truly memorable. Since it's our home too, the property - inside and out, upstairs and downstairs - is so very well maintained.
Just 15 minutes from Santa Ana/Orange City airport and 50 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), a vacation at the 'Sandcastle,' experiencing our hospitality and Newport Beach lifestyle, will have you returning year after year!
HINT: If a more relaxed and quiet vacation is what you're looking for...a well kept secret is that September and October are fabulous, due to the great weather and lessened number of tourists.TripAdvisor property ID 3458346 ...Read more

South Jordan, Utah
The Sandcastle became our 'home away from home'. The interior of our unit is THE definition of eclectic and we have never stayed anywhere where there was such an abundance of hangers(this is very important to two of us who always bring outfits for every possible experience!). Janice and Bill are warm and welcoming hosts and saw to it that we had music to greet us, information about the area and a sense of belonging. The location is perfect and the beach was our playground! Everyone should be as lucky as we were to have such an unforgettable vacation! Thanks, Janice and Bill, for the Sandcastle and its special place in our collective memories.

Thanks so much for the sweet review! I like a lot of closet hangars too when I travel!!! We are all about trying to provide a warm, clean and inviting "home away from home"; we really strive to have you be so comfortable that it feels like home! Thanks for letting us know that we are "on track";-) We are thrilled that you enjoyed yourselves so much while you were here. Nothing like wonderful weather in January to make an off-season stay even better! We really do hope you'll be back for a future stay here at the "Sandcastle". With warm regards, Janice & Bill

"Just the right setting for a lovely time"
The Sandcastle was just the right setting for our family gathering of 6 from around the country. Also good space for a dinner party for 9 of us. The kitchen was superbly equipped with ample dishes for our grilled artichoke, porterhouse steak and strawberry shortcake dinner, from preparation, to grilling to serving. Wonderful big sofa for collapsing after arduous days of beach walking.
There is a great variability in the 3 bedrooms, from huge master with en suite bath, to small bedroom with double bed. Sharing made this OK for us, but could be an issue. Closet space was good.
The location is excellent, within a stone's throw of the beach, but just far enough back from the board walk to avoid the constant stream of curious tourists walking by. (Oh, like we did). Patio brings the outside into your living quarters so you can enjoy the California weather.
Walking was fabulous on the concrete boardwalk. This was great for us as we had a baby carriage and a wheel chair ferrying the youngest and oldest generations on our walks. Several restaurants catering to breakfast, lunch, dinner, large groups and bars were all within easy walking. Sprouts grocery, a highly rated chain was also a short walk away.
All made the logistics of the trip almost effortless and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again

"This condo is great!"
The Sandcastle is very clean, comfortable and some nice beach themed artwork on the walls. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes,glasses and pans. Very central to the beach, boardwalk, pier, restaurants and grocery store. We walked to everything. Also, has a nice size patio for barbecuing which we enjoyed very much.
Was looking for a ground floor condo for our family reunion. My mother is 89 and cannot do stairs very well. This place was perfect for her. Everything on one floor made it very easy for her.
Had to have seafood during our coastal visit. Rockin Baja restaurant is right near the pier and they have a great seafood bucket for two. The Duffy boat rental was a highlight of our trip. We took an 1.5 hr. Duffy boat ride around the beautiful harbor. It was a wonderful reunion! The owners made sure we were comfortable, we didn't have to worry about anything while staying at the Sandcastle.
You will enjoy your stay here and we would highly recommend this condo for your vacation in Newport Beach, Ca.

Beach Loving Family
"No reason to go anywhere else! This house/vacation was perfect!"
From the minute we arrived, it was a wonderful experience. We opened the front door and there was music playing. Though we arrived after dark, the house lights were on, and it felt so welcoming and inviting. The interior of the house was very comfortable, leather couch, nice beds and coverings, art on the walls, nicely decorated, a bottle of wine to welcome us. Our family of five settled right in, especially after our long day of flying and getting to the beach. The house is very comfortable - and very clean. The next morning, we saw how truly great the location was, with the beach just one house away from the sand. We barbecued and enjoyed eating on the patio. And the recommendations the owners gave us for dinner out were excellent too. The owners were easy to deal with in making our reservation, they were available if we needed them to ask a few questions about the area, but we hardly saw them otherwise. It was just a short drive to Disneyland, and we took a day and went and explored Beverly Hills too. It was a perfect stay, a wonderful house - and we hope to return to Newport and definitely stay again at the "Sandcastle".

This was the best vacation experience of our time, we enjoyed so much the views, the owners, the proximity to everything at the beach, how beautifully appointed the interior of the house is, and just the completely wonderful overall experience. We would and will highly recommend this property to anyone who asks, and hope to visit again soon!! This is a property that works for everyone anytime.

"The best house we've ever rented in Newport Beach!"
We stayed in June at the "Sandcastle" - and loved it! The location of the house is great, just steps from the beautiful beach. The house is so nicely decorated that we could hardly believe how lucky we were to find this house, when we opened the front door. We've stayed in other rental homes in this area over the years, but none have been as nice.
Everything was so clean, everything worked well, there were lots of nice dishes and glasses and servingware in the kitchen, and the beds were really comfortable. We loved the front patio, where we'd BBQ almost every night. And the local restaurants that we could walk to, were great. They have a big book of suggestions of things to do, that has brochures and restaurant menus and maps of the area. We spent a lot of time at the beach this week, but were reminded of lots of other things we can do in the area - next time!
Bill and Janice made it all so easy, from our initial communication to answering our questions along the way to getting our security deposit back promptly after our stay. They let us know where we could rent bikes, and where to go to buy fresh fish. They were helpful anytime we had any questions. We liked the idea of them living upstairs, if we had any issues, but we didn't run into them hardly at all.
It was a really great family beach vacation. Our kids raved about it too - and they're already asking us if we can return next summer!

"Lovely Beach Retreat"
My family and I really enjoyed staying at the Sandcastle in May. The house is very clean, well maintained, and well equipped (i.e. dishes, silverware, cleaning supplies, beach umbrella, etc.). The owners have left several helpful signs and a great book of local information that was especially important for the less tech-savvy among our all-adult crew.
It's just one house off the beach in a lovely neighborhood. Bring your bikes, skateboards, or roller blades! That's the best way to get around this part of Newport. The restaurants and shopping in the area are fun and the beach itself is beautiful. There are always surfers to watch and one day we saw a pod of playing dolphins pass by. The beach isn't too crowded, even on weekends. The owners are friendly and helpful.
The only problem was parking. With six adults, we needed a minivan, but the parking spot in back was too small for any of us to maneuver the monster into (maybe a more experience driver could manage). A regular car would fit with no trouble. Instead we had to find street parking for our Caravan, which was very difficult on the weekends. Sometimes we had to park at a meter overnight and go out early to move the vehicle. Weekdays were much easier, but if you bring a big vehicle expect to trek to and from your on-street parking spot. Upside is that the trek is always pleasant and can be worked into coffee shop runs, grocery store errands, walks along the beach, and restaurant trips.
I have only great things to say about the house and neighborhood. The only downside was the parking, but don't let that dissuade you. This place really is a peach!

Monica, sorry for our delay in responding. We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay in May here at the "Sandcastle", and thanks for the positive remarks regarding the house and the neighborhood, and the great beach here. Yes, parking is tight around here at the beach, especially on weekends, and we always suggest that if you can travel here with, or rent, a mid-size car, it's easier in this area. Thanks for keeping a sense of humor about it, and finding pleasant walks and views to take from the car to the house:-) We hope you'll be back! Janice & Bill
Beach Travelers
"Great place to stay that is steps from the beach."
My entire family was thrilled with our stay at the Sandcastle. I am very picky when traveler who scours the reviews of any hotel or vacation rental that I stay in. All I can say is the Sandcastle certainly met all of my expectations.
Janice and Bill, the owners, clearly have an eye for detail. The condition and cleanliness of the property far exceeds any hotel you will every stay in, which as a germaphobe, I completely appreciate. You can tell Janice and Bill take the maintenance and upkeep of the property seriously. The house is nicely decorated with comfortable,newer furnishings instead of the hand-me-down furniture you find in some rentals. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you could need to prepare a meal, but truthfully we were on vacation so the last thing I wanted to do was cook. Plus, the Newport Beach area has so many great places to dine. If you choose to dine out like we did, Janice has put together a phenomenal resource book that provides recommendations of places to dine as well as things to do. This book seriously rivals any assistance you could receive from a hotel concierge.
The location of the house is also ideal. Though the house is not right on the beach, you are just steps away from the sand and the Newport Beach boardwalk making it really easy to get your morning run or walk in. Plus, not being right on the boardwald provides you with a little more privacy.
We also used the linen service that was recommended. The linens were waiting for us when we arrived and the pick up when we departed was super easy.
Overall, we had a great stay and I would not hesistate to stay at the Sandcastle again.
Response from the owner, Janice Shallin & Bill Vickers (wife & husband) - 01/13/2013
So glad you enjoyed your stay at the "Sandcastle" and thanks for appreciating all the little things we do to try to make your stay even a little more special. There are a ton of great ideas in that Big Book, aren't there?! We hope you'll think of us the next time you want to escape the Midwest cold:-) It was a pleasure having you stay with us; Do come visit us again!

"Like your own castle on the beach !"
Date of Stay: May 2012
We are very particular in our selections in vacation homes. This one is perfect. We took our daughter and granddaughter with us and everything worked out as we had hoped it would. Cooking was easy, anything you might need was there and we just relaxed. The atmosphere was so nice. Very clean and well maintained. Beautifully decorated which made relaxing all the better. This is absolutely the most enjoyable home to stay in and enjoy the beach. You are steps from the beach. Most cities it would be equal to 1/2 block from the beach. Reserve this location if you want to be free from worry and please take care of it so my family can come back and enjoy it again. The owners were very easy to work with and were very helpful. Thank you for a marvelous time.

"Great location, spacious and perfect for families!"
Our family has stayed at the "Sandcastle" three years in a row. Only one house from the beach, just grab your towel and go! Three spacious bedrooms is perfect for large families. There is also a comfortable living and dining area which are great for family time. The outdoor patio allows for great people watching while you are grilling. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. The owners are so helpful and provide the perfect setting for your stay. I highly recommend "Sandcastle" to everyone looking to stay in Newport Beach.

"Newport Dreaming"
The "Sandcastle":
We opened the front door and seasonal music selections greeted us as we entered. My wife and family exclaimed their disbelief that we were staying somewhere "this nice". This was our first visit to Newport Beach and the Sandcastle will be a fond memory, but there's a more subtle point to what the owners have done for those staying here. It feels like your private beach house and you've been coming here for years! The house just envelops you like a super-think terry robe and then it brings you a toasty hot chocolate - that's how we all felt.
We stayed at the maximum occupancy of 7 and every space in the house is designed to be uncrowded; Leather living room sectional and love seat; Big square dining room; Nice dividing door for the entire sleeping area.
Linens were provide by third party service, arrangements were blissfully easy.
Best restaurant we visited? --- The grill on the front porch!
With "The Meat House", "Bear Flag Fish Market" and "Growers Direct" close at hand, you can eat like a king and save your bones for wetsuit, surf / boogie board rental and lessons at Tk's Froghouse. Pavilions can supply you the base staples, and you need not "go" anywhere to get anything.
This time of year (Nov) the Sun sets directly through the beach access at the west end of 35th Street. Dropping slowly over the Northern section of Catalina Island, the set was perfectly beaming right onto the front porch. This was our dinner chime; everybody would catch one last glowing wave and we'd see their back-lit silhouettes walking out of the golden wash.
Bill & Janice are fantastic and the home is Top Tier! They maintain a wonderful "Things to do" 3 inch binder with completely up to date Periodical / Brochure / News / Map / Pamphlet data for all the notable locale and it's heavily footnoted. This was a great read!!!
If you're planning Newport Beach as a destination, then you must consider the Sandcastle as a premier location from which you can anchor your trip.

"Perfect stay in Newport Beach! Great location, Beautiful house!"
We had such a delightful stay at the Sandcastle in September. The house is beautiful, and the Owners, Janice and Bill, seemed to have thought of just about everything, including a bottle of wine upon our arrival, a nice touch. The house is so comfortable, a leather sectional sofa in the living room where we could all relax (and watch those free movie channels), nice beds, the kitchen complete, a new BBQ, a washer and dryer. Loved their big book of things to do in the area! The location is wonderful, just one house from the sand - and we had fantastic weather, enjoying the front patio for dinner or biking to local restaurants. We hope to return again next year! I wouldn't consider any other place to stay on the Peninsula, now that we've found the perfect house!

"Best Rental on the Balboa Peninsula!"
We have rented "The Sandcastle" three times and have booked again for 2013. The house is immaculate and beautifully decorated. The owners have anticipated everything you might need during your stay; the kitchen is incredibly well equipped. The furnishings are of the highest quality, and the location can't be beat. So close to the beach, and a quick walk to the supermarket. Great restaurants and some bike rental places are also a short walk away. We didn't move our car once during the week!
We have rented other places on the Balboa Peninsula - the "Sandcastle"
definitely tops them all.

Re: Regenerative Shields

Realistically, to me, shields should be regenerating whenever they're not taking fire. I think there needs to be special a reason why it is called 'regenerative' shielding.
That said, I like the idea that regenerative shields somehow absorb incoming energy for use. I don't like this as being redistributable to other systems, though.
The way shields were depicted in 'Equinox' might be worth studying, or might only complicate things. I seem to remember the crew somehow managing to reinforce keep the shields up even after the generator was stolen, using the nav deflector? Perhaps then regenerative shields tie the nav deflector into the shield system to absorb the energy expended against them.
Well, first things first... the term is simply a made-up term, invented by people working on a TV show with barely even a high-school science education. So all it "really" means is "gee, we've heard this neato term being tossed around and so let's use it to sound super-keen!"
The term, of course, is used primarily in regards to a braking system used on electromotive vehicles (electric or hybrid). The idea is that instead of dissipating motive energy as heat (like normal brakes do) you use it to drive a very stiff "generator," converting it into AC electrical power (which can then be rectified to DC and pushed back into energy storage cells).
The point of "regenerative braking" is to avoid wasting energy, and instead to recapture energy which otherwise would be lost, for future system-wide use.
Since that's the point of the term in real life, and since the writers were (without fully understanding the term) emulating this real-life concept, I think we should apply the same concept.
That is... energy which would otherwise be wasted and dissipated is instead reclaimed, absorbed if you will, and redirected into the energy storage system.
Of course, the shields themselves are an "energy storage system" of sorts (as I mentioned earlier) so it could be that the energy is redirected into them, or it could be that it's redirected into the ship's batteries and capacitor banks and so forth.
But, of course, in reality.. it's just nifty technobabble.

In late March of this year, President Obama stayed in Brussels, Belgium for about 24 hours on a weeklong trip through Europe. Lodging at The Hotel in Brussels cost $1.5 million, as we reported in April, including rooms for the president and his entourage, as well as for the advance team in the weeks preceding the visit.
Less than two and a half months later, President Obama returned to Brussels again for about 24 hours for a G-7 meeting in early June, once again stayed at The Hotel, and again incurred a cost of $1.5 million. This time, the documents cited a need for "399 Lodging Rooms, office rooms, and conference rooms from 5/22/2014 – 6/6/2014":
For the same trip, a contract for over $1 million for rental vehicles was posted as well. The contract covered an "[e]stimated 141 Rental Vehicles from 5/20/2014 – 6/7/2014."The rental vehicles are in addition to the vehicles that accompany the president on all his trips, including The Beast, the president's armored limousine.
The legislation to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy has been turned into something of a mini auto bailout, according to those familiar with the Obama administration's request. The request includes millions of dollars worth of cars, to be paid for by the federal government.
Obama's request, as detailed in a letter sent to Capitol Hill by the director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget, Jeffrey Zients, includes these requests:

Lake Grove, N.Y. (PRWEB) January 21, 2013
Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York recently sponsored a soft play area at a nearby shopping center to help share wellness tips and to build its brand awareness in the community.
Executive Director Kevin McGeachy explained the sponsorship by saying, "Being a hospital, we have to figure out where we stand on wellness and prevention. It would be nice if we could close the hospital because we're so great at preventing illness. This sponsorship not only helps our brand because kids then associate our name with fun, but it gives us a continuous means of outreach and wellness education."
The new indoor playground is located at Smith Haven Mall, which is in Lake Grove, NY.
"The play area has received more positive feedback than any other amenity that we've introduced at Smith Haven Mall," says Ashley Jacobsen, Smith Haven's Director of Marketing and Business Development.
McGeachy says he first read a magazine article about a hospital-sponsored play area in West Virginia and he promptly called his marketing team.
"I see this as a great way for us to leverage our brand and to achieve our community outreach goals," says McGeachy. "If it was just a play area with no opportunity for us to do education and prevention, I'm not sure I would have been interested. This play area gives us high, high visibility."
Cohen Children's Medical Center regularly hosts events at the play area, such as its recent Medical Build-A-Bear workshop. The hospital also hosts car seat safety workshops and other health/safety events.

Secondhand shops and pawnshops in the city could face new licensing requirements under proposed new ordinances, including a requirement to log many types of valuable items brought in for resale.
The proposed new sections of city code, meant to help fight crime, are part of a larger plan that would involve the city signing a contract with Leads Online LLC to participate in a national database that tracks resale merchandise to find stolen items.
Discussions came up Tuesday night during city council caucus. ...

Richard Shilling is one of those artists whose work forces you to look at your own surroundings with a new perspective, finding inspiration in what previously may have been overlooked. Using organic materials available to all of us - leaves, twigs, and stones - Shilling creates simple structures that draw our attention with minimal form to the depth of detail found in forests.
I happened to learn of Shilling's work early in the Autumn when I saw his chromatic spectrum piece using rowan berries. HIs use of color, natural environments and materials was fitting for the changing season, when all around us we're faced with a changing landscape, which, as Shilling demonstrates, is also a new pallet from which to create. As someone with a tendency to procrastinate, especially in executing on my ideas for creating art, I found Shilling's work inspiring because it reminds me to appreciate the fleeting nature of time. His sculptures can only exist momentarily. The ice melts. The leaves brown. The wind blows and the sculptures will fall. And once created, the moment to photograph the vibrancy of color depends on the passing sun. The lesson here is clear: if you wish to create art, don't wait. Build the thing. Take the photo. And rest assured that moment, that season did not pass you by.

Snort for Mac184.108.40.206 / 18.104.22.168 Beta 1 / 3.0.0 Build 172 Alpha 1
editor's review
Snort is a Mac OS X command line tool that brings a network intrusion prevention system to your computer. The utility will analyze your traffic in real time in order to help you view what protocols are used, or possible outside attacks, probes, scans, and so on.
Network intrusion prevention system that must be compiled from source
Snort is not available as a binary distribution, and does not come with a graphical user interface: you will download the source code archive, and you will have to manually compile it via the Terminal app. Note that you must also have the Xcode Command Line Tools deployed on your Mac.
To install Snort, you must go to the Snort folder in a new Terminal window (drag and drop the Snort folder on top of the Terminal Dock icon) and run the following commands: "./configure", "make", "sudo make install", and "snort".
Take into consideration that certain command take longer to complete than others, and that you might also need to install certain dependencies (including the daq library that can be downloaded from the Snort project page).
Monitor or protect your network via the command line
The Snort application can either track your network's traffic (sniffer mode) and log all the transferred packages (packet logger mode), or act like a prevention system and detect potentially unwanted intrusions.
To help you get started, the Snort developers provide an extensive user manual that presents all the included functions and possible uses, configurations details, and so on. The application includes various monitoring, logging, and alerting tools, so reading the documentation is highly recommended.
To conclude, if you are looking for an unobtrusive yet powerful tool that can log your network traffic and detect potentially harmful intrusions, the Snort open source network intrusion prevention system certainly deserves your attention.

We're sending 2014 out with a bang with some of the most epic explosions in film history. Happy New Year and thanks for a great 2014!!
We live in an era of rapidly deteriorating linguistic abilities (translation: words b hard), where the appreciation for an eloquently-delivered turn of phrase is at an all time low.
Independence Day is the greatest July 4th movie ever made – and in two years, we're getting a sequel! But what do we REALLY want to see in ID4 2? We mapped out our ideal cast, plot – and even made the first trailer!! Check it out!!
He's got his touchpoints, all right.
"Nuke 'em…"
Despite often being over hyped and budgeted, apocalyptic films can be fun. Think about it–plenty of action, explosions, drama, and terrific special effects. Additionally, in many cases these movies feature…
Nothing makes a good war movie stand out like an intense aerial battle. Dogfight movies are popular because they usually involve cockier than hell characters, feature a few hot women,…
If Paul Revere had been a critic, he would have given these five Fourth of July movies a patriotic thumbs up. Patriots celebrate the birth of a storyline behind the…
Movie pilots are constantly showing their bravery. Whether it's destroying an alien force, or simply putting out a fire, pilots in film have always stepped up to the task at…
Most living human beings with any basic access to entertainment are well aware of just how well Will Smith can entertain on screen. But these "Independence Day" quotes prove that…
These Will Smith quotes are sassy statements from the mouth of a successful Hollywood actor. Originally, Smith's career goals were music-oriented; however, with the success of the sitcom "The Fresh…
Not all aliens are created equal. If worse came to worse, I'm pretty sure I could take E.T. in fight. The same goes for that bitch Mac, from Mac and Me. On the other hand, if you put me in the ring with a Predator, he'd be using my skull as trophy in five seconds flat.
Because the threat posed by extraterrestrials can vary so greatly, we've compiled this list of nine aliens you don't want to eff with. After all, throwing water on the alien from Signs is a fun way to spend an afternoon, while doing the same thing to a Xenomorph is a really bad idea.
Superman (Superman)
Director Roland Emmerich wants Will Smith to be president. Luckily, he's a kraut, so he can't vote in our bad-ass American elections. However, there's nothing stopping him from making Will Smith president in the magical world of make believe.
MTV is now reporting that Emmerich was so inspired by the election of Barack Obama that he will cast Will Smith as the president in the planned sequels to his 1996 blockbuster, Independence Day….cause he's black, I guess. This brings up an interesting question. If McCain had won, would Randy Quaid's character, a deranged fighter pilot who was once held prisoner by aliens, be the president instead? If so, I'd like to go back and changed my vote. Sorry, Cynthia McKinney. (Cinema Blend)
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and DJ Jazzy Jeff before a show on the mothership. Back in November we reported that Roland Emmerich wanted to do two Independence Day sequels back-to-back. We laughed at the idea and made fun of his German accent as we reenacted his interview to MTV, but now we might have to wipe a whole lotta sauerkraut off our faces because Will Smith bitch-slapped us with his recent attachment to the projects.According to IESB, Smith is on board for both sequels, possibly titled ID4-Ever Part I and Part II, a delicious pun that I hope never changes. Emmerich stated in the previous interview that the story would again be set on Earth, and the reason for two movies is that he wants "to do a bigger story arc." If I had it my way, Part II would consist entirely of Bill Pullman shooting confused looks at the rest of the ensemble cast and then delivering one ridiculously long-winded monologue before ACTUAL Randy Quaid flies off in a jet to fight aliens. Now if we can somehow invent the technology to scoop images directly out of Randy's brain they wouldn't have to shoot even a single frame. It's practically the only thing the man thinks about these days.
Honka. Honka.Crazy landmark-destruction fetishist Roland Emmerich wants to return to his earlier hit Independence Day for not one, but TWO sequels. So that's at least $24 I'll be saving by staying the f*ck home.Emmerich tells MTV that they don't have a script but they do have an idea. But it's really two ideas because they want the story to be told over the course of two really bad movies. And of course he wants to title them both ID4-Ever. Though he wasn't forthcoming with plot details (who needs one really?), let's put on our retard caps and try to figure it out for ourselves. Here's the entire films in a nutshell.WILL SMITH: "Hey! You Independence Day aliens quit blowing up the White House. We just rebuilt it. That's a direct order from President Will Smith!! Cuz I'm President now!!! Aw hell naw!!! You're not half as friendly as the Scientology aliens!"(MTV)

RhinoLINUX KDE Edition7.0
editor's review
1 comment
RhinoLINUX KDE Edition is an open source distribution of Linux based on the world's most popular free operating system, Ubuntu Linux, and built around the KDE Plasma Workspace and Applications desktop environment.
Distributed as a dual-arch Live DVD
The distribution is available for download as a single, dual-arch Live DVD ISO image of approximately 2GB in size, which means that the user must burn it onto a DVD disc or write it to a USB thumb drive of 2GB or higher capacity in order to boot it from the BIOS of a PC. It supports both 64-bit and 32-bit hardware platforms.
It provides users with a standard boot loader from where they can start the live environment with default options or in safe graphics mode, by using the VESA framebuffer, boot an existing operating system from the first drive, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as welll as to check the DVD for defects.
Custom KDE desktop environment with top-notch apps
As its name suggests, RhinoLINUX KDE Edition uses the KDE Plasma Workspaces and Applications project as its default and only desktop environment, customized with beautiful artwork and comprised of a single taskbar and a standard desktop interface (without widgets).
Default applications include the FileZilla file transfer client, Mozilla Firefox, Konqueror and Google Chrome web browsers, Drivel journal Editor, KMail email client, KVpnc VPN client, KPPP Internet dial-up tool, KTorrent torrent downloader, GIMP image editor, and digiKam photo management software.
Furthermore, the AcidRip DVD-Video ripper, DVD95 Converter, DVD Styler DVD-Video authoring software, ISO Master CD image editor and burner, Amarok audio plauer, Kaffeine media player, DeVeDe DVD-Video creator, K3b CD/DVD/BD burning utility, VLC Media Player, and LibreOffice office suite are also installed.
Bottom line
Summing up, the KDE edition of RhinoLINUX proves to be a stable and reliable operating system that uses the latest Ubuntu and KDE technologies, all in order to provide users with a modern, familiar and productive desktop oriented distribution of Linux.

A quadruple month update is finally here! Venture forth into the longer than usual update post as I share with you the stuff I got and my opinions on them! As I don't really want to flood the front page with a barrage of pictures, do click on the button below to view the post in its entirety.
Actar's Acquisitions – February 2014February 14, 2014
It's the grand and glorious revival of the acquisitions posts! I haven't done one of these in ages and I really do want to get these back up and running. If anything, it will be an easy way to keep my blog afloat in these troubled waters of other commitments. Despite me not posting them, I have been taking pictures and diligently taking records of all the stuff I've been purchasing for the past year and a half (more or less) and I do hope to put them all into one ginormous loot post sometime in the very near future.
2013 Japan Trip Highlights and Acquisitions!January 15, 2014
In a brilliant attempt to circumvent me running out of steam doing a day-by-day recount of my trip, this time, I'll be writing just one post featuring only the juicy bits – Akihabara, Comiket (doujins) and more!
I'll organize this post by sections that go in chronological order. At the end of the recount, will be a section that is dedicated to all the acquisitions that I got during my trip.
Without further ado, here we go!
(Warning! Image intensive and somewhat NSFW. Also, the changing aspect ratio of the pictures is due to the fact that a number of them were taken with different cameras.)
Anime Genre-ism, Madoka and Magical GirlsNovember 25, 2011
There is one thing that bothers me regarding Madoka, or more accurately, some of Madoka's fans. Since the first episode of Madoka aired, on many forums and blogs and sites, I have noticed many comments along these lines: "I usually don't touch Magical Girl Anime, but I am glad that I picked up Madoka" and comments on how Madoka has 'redefined' the genre.
