It isn't too often that you walk into a restaurant and feel right at home. You know what I mean, right? That feeling of comfort, of welcoming faces and a place where you just feel down-right cozy.
For me, that is Houlihan's in North Dallas.
Houlihan's has a long history of serving up deliciously consistent food and making it fun while doing so. On a recent visit, I was invited in to check out their Fall menu offerings and let me just tell you all…they are not to be missed!
Just look at this menu! Lobster corndogs? Sign me up!
One of our personal favorites on Houlihan's Fall menu is the "King of a Pig Deal" burger. A juicy Iowa Premium USDA Prime Black Angus beef patty, locally-sourced Kuby's grilled jalapeno sausage, tavern ham, pimento cheese with sweet and tangy baked bean glaze. Like, WHAT?! Yes, it was as delicious as it sounds – probably more delicious than it sounds if that is possible. I love the fact that Houlihan's used local Dallas company, Kuby's, to source their sausage, too!
Another absolute favorite was the Bag O' Donuts. The most adorable brown bag package was delivered to our table full of piping hot cinnamon and sugar mini donuts. Quite frankly, I could have eaten about 12 bags of these on my own and called it a night, but I am so glad that I had the opportunity to try out the other delicious items, too!
The Fall menu here at Houlihan's does an incredible job of capturing those rich, hearty flavors that Fall is all about and, while it is only offered for a limited time only, there is plenty to go around in the meantime so you need to high-tail it in and try some for yourself.

Margaret Atwood Blends Dystopia and Social Satire
November 8, 2015
Imagine you'd lost your job and you were living in your car, trying to fend off roving thugs. And then you saw an ad that promised the comforts of a nice suburban home, along with a full-time job. There's just one catch -- you only spend half your time there; you spend the other half living in a prison cell. That's the premise behind Margaret Atwood's new novel, The Heart Goes Last," a blend of dystopia and social satire.

The Louise Log
The Louise Log is a highly entertaining and comical web series developed and produced by Anne Flournoy that depicts the life of a New York City housewife and mother. Based on a true story, the protagonist's whispering inner voice reveals her thoughts about real-life issues and an insight into how women deal with ordinary and extraordinary situations.
Anne Flournoy created this web series, which became even more popular by earning a nomination in the Best Web Show for the 2013 Shorty Awards. The first two series (totalling 34 episodes) and the third series planned for production in the fall, stars Christine Cook (as Louise), Jennifer Sklias-Gahan, Pascal Yen-Pfister, Danusia Trevino, Mathilde Dratwa, and Catherine Siracusa.
The Louise Log is an underground favourite that also earned recommendation from the likes of playwright Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues), comedian and actor Suzy Soro, and the late and highly-renowned film critic Roger Ebert.
Watch how a NYC housewife deals with being a mother and the wife of a high-maintenance husband, as she handles everyday life events (and then some) while sustaining her addiction to caffeine. Louise's over-active and very comical inner voice is sure to entertain you!
Meanwhile, The Sundance Institute is launching Anne Flournoy's How to be Louise, her first feature film that will be available online via Netflix, Hulu and iTunes on May 7, 2013.

NOTICE OF OCTOBER 25, 2007, BOARD OF DIRECTORS and MEMBERS' MEETING
(and Minutes of the September 27, 2007, Board of Directors' & Members Meeting)
NEXT MEETING: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2007, 3:30 - 6:30PM: Presidio Historical Association Offices, 2nd Building on Funston Street (cross Street Lincoln) directly across the Street from the YMCA, Presidio of San Francisco. Street parking available and at the gym. Guests and prospective new members are welcome. Please bring refreshments for our reception that follows our meeting.
We will begin our meeting at 3:30 PM with a short walk in the Presidio to view first-hand the proposed sites of the Hotel and the Fisher Museum on the Main Post/Parade Grounds. Gary Widman will lead this tour.
President's Message - John J. Hodges:
"Why are cultural museums important? OK, so they draw visitors and keep people entertained, but what else do they do? Consider the following:
"We have scores of local museums in California. There are 23 in Sacramento alone for example. And there are wonderful history or heritage museums in the Bay Area. Just this week I was asked to comment on the San Mateo County History Museum (CHC Award in 2005) for purposes of a new funding campaign. I sent the Museum President the following quote for his brochure:
"And last week I sent the following letter at the request of the CHC Board to the Presidio leadership:
"CHC is the oldest architectural preservation organization in California. And at the most recent Board meeting many questions were asked about the Trust Board and its intent.
"Thus, a Board resolution was made on September 27 and I was asked to convey it to you and to focus subsequent publicity on this project and the Presidio Trust Board through our web site www.californiaheritagecouncil.org as follows: 'Motion of the CHC Board: CHC is in favor of the Fisher art collection as an attraction at the Presidio, however the parade ground is not the right venue and alternative sites should be considered and part of the public process. The parade ground should be kept as open space and major new construction should not be allowed to detract from the historic character of the Presidio. The precise terms and conditions of this Museum should be disclosed to the public and to date, have not been. CHC reaffirms the primary museum mission for the Presidio should be a museum articulating the history and cultural heritage of the west and the Presidio's role in that story. This should be the Presidio Trust Boards first responsibility among competing projects.'
"Ladies and gentlemen, think smart about your jobs and responsibilities. The people are simply asking for balance. Approve a history museum and an art museum together. Make sure all public art projects are a public process and not secret deals. And for the sake of all of us, site all new buildings, whether hotels or endowed gifts, in appropriate places."
Regards, John Hodges, President
In a small book about the Presidio, author Robert Bowen writes:
Thoughts from Board Chair, Gary Widman: WHAT THE PRESIDIO COULD HAVE BEEN:
"Imagine a San Francisco resident in the mid-90s, (perhaps you) on hearing for the first time that the Presidio was to be a National Park, under a law emphasizing the Park's history. With the central post then declared a National Historic Landmark, you could reasonably imagine your new historic park, - something rare in the West. The new National Park explaining our history would not be located in Washington, D.C., New England or the Eastern seaboard, where most such parks are now found. This one would be for the West, where, in comparison, it was so urgently needed. You might have thought about what the Presidio Park could become!
"Imagine the current Presidio Officers Club, with its parking area replaced by a reconstructed walled patio, bringing to life the original El Presidio building of the 1700s. The flag of the nation, "New Spain" would be flying, and the visitor could sense the past, looking out at the same bay and sky, and understanding the military and other reasons why Spain wanted a presidio and a settlement in this special place. (After all, if the State of California could reconstruct forts at Ft. Ross and Sacramento, why wouldn't the US, want to do that much for the more important site in San Francisco?)
"Schoolchildren could see exhibits explaining how the US military ruled "California" , (then including what are now several western states) for several years after the US war with Mexico. They could learn about the Gold Rush, the immigration of "outsiders" from the East and Chinese from the West in the Gold Rush. They could learn of the political and social push and pull of the South and the North, before California was finally admitted as a free state. They could learn about the people who served in the Presidio, and what they did in the Civil War; - Sherman, Sheridan, Halleck, Johnston and Letterman for example. They could learn about Letterman's establishing the first army-wide medical service and his evacuation of tens of thousands of wounded from Antietam and Gettysburg into the private hospitals of the North.
"Visitors might have been challenged to sort out the good and the bad, the far-sighted and the short-sighted perspectives on the Mexican War and the War in the Philippines. They might have learned about another Presidio officer, General Pershing, and what he did for the US and the world in World War I.
"A visitor could have learned about the controversies involving aviation leading up to World War II, about Pearl Harbor, the progress and results of that War in the US and in Asia. They might have learned about the removal of Japanese-Americans to internment camps, and the sacrifices by their sons who fought and died for the country who sent their parents to those camps. One could have learned learn about those soldiers, families and leaders in WWII who were at the Presidio, such as Arnold and Stilwell, to name two of the officers.
"A visitor in the Presidio that-could-have-been would have learned much about the successes and failures of different political positions and of different views of the military. He or she would have learned about the interweaving of different cultures in the West, about why the West is different from the East and how the West, and the Presidio of San Francisco helped shape the nation that the US is today. The visitor, whether a local schoolchild, or a an international tourist, depending on the scope of the Presidio's museum and historic presentations would have learned much about the US past. And as a result of visiting here, he or she could have become a more understanding, tolerant and knowledgeable citizen, both of the US and of the world.
"But those dreams of what the Presidio might have been are about to end. The reality is that neither the Park Service nor the Presidio Trust have, to date, done those things. They did raise funds for preserving the Presidio's natural habitat, but so far have raised none for enhancing the minds and understanding of those children, SF residents, (forty percent of them foreign-born) citizens or visitors who, on reading the news of a new national park, and a historic district at the Presidio in the 90s, thought they would finally enjoy a national historic park in the West.
"Both organizations will offer reasons for this failure. Some of those explanations are based in the reduced levels of funding of the Park Service, failure of the two organizations to agree on even basic steps for historic interpretation and education, a perceived priority to preserve the Presidio's ecosystems by the Park Service and a priority for raising income levels by the Presidio Trust.
"But some of those reasons lost much of their persuasiveness when the Presidio Trust's income levels rose to the point that its legislative goal appeared to be either achieved or in sight. The National Academy for Public Adm. report to Congress advised the Trust to adopt a greater role in presenting the history of the area, or face revised legislation. The SF Chronicle's architecture editor, and a former member of the Trust, (who also happened to be a former UC Chancellor, and head of the Smithsonian Institution) all advised the Trust to step up to its public responsibilities rather than to continue giving its highest priority to increased income.
"But the most telling reason that the Presidio Historic Park that-might-have-been is increasingly unlikely to happen is that the Trust has never made an enforceable plan for its most sensitive central post Historic Landmark District that included any restoration of the El Presidio or any provision for a History Center or Museum. On the contrary, the Trust last week announced that it had selected a developer for a major hotel in that most sensitive historic area. In recent weeks, it also announced its great pleasure at the offer of a local family, and former Trust Director, to construct a new Museum of Contemporary Art displaying that family's collection, also in the heart of the National Historic Landmark District.. Whether the Trust has the will to protect the central Historic District against these incursions of high-rent hotels and a contemporary art museum appears increasingly doubtful, despite nearly unanimous opposition by the general public to the main post location of the hotel and art museum in public hearings.
"Those early dreams of a national historic park are now almost history themselves, unless the Presidio Trust makes an abrupt about-face and recognizes, as so many have tried to tell it, (so far unsuccessfully) that it has Congressionally mandated responsibilities to the public uses of the Park, as well as a mandate to make the park financially self-sufficient.
"And unfortunately, those commentators who in the beginning years of the Park were so negative on the Presidio Trust as a public institution, going on in the press about how the public's needs would be sacrificed to the wishes of the powerful and to the pressure to develop, may soon be proven absolutely, conclusively right. After a San Francisco experience that puts hotels and an art museum into the area's most sensitive historic district, it appears highly unlikely that any future community, or any future Congress, would adopt a "Presidio Trust" type of solution for a future base closure. That is another tragic consequence of the Trust's current course of action, because a Trust-type of institution which was more responsive to the public's needs could have been so valuable in blending the needs of the public for historic and natural preservation and interpretation with the economic realities of contemporary government budgets and urban life."(NOTE: The Presidio Historical Association, of which the author is President, is preparing a proposal for a History Center at the Golden Gate, to be submitted into the Presidio Trust's RFP process, in the hope that the Trust will see in the proposal an opportunity to better serve the public's needs.)
Minutes of the September 27, 2007, Board of Directors and Members' Meeting: The meeting began at 4:00 PM at the San Francisco home of Board Members, Ted and Dorothy Kitt. President John Hodges presiding.
Presidio Update - Fisher Museum: After discussion, the following major concerns and questions from CHC to the Trust were formulated:
Motion by our Board: CHC is in favor of the Fisher contemporary art collection as an attraction at the Presidio, however, the parade ground is not the right venue and alternative sites should be considered and part of the public process. The parade ground should be kept as open space and major new construction should not be allowed as it will detract from the character of the Presidio. The precise terms and conditions of this Museum should be disclosed to the public and, to date, have not. Pres. Hodges will draft a letter to the Trust.
Awards Committee: The following members volunteered to be on the committee: Conchita and Bill Applegate; Tony Aquirre; Betsy Dohrmann; Christopher Layton; Jules Levaggi; Betty Ann Prien; Dianne Rowe; John Hodges, ex-officio. Anyone else that wishes to be a member should contact Dianne Rowe.
December 4, 2007 Commonwealth Club Event: CHC is a partner in this event with the Commonwealth Club and thank Conchita and Bill Applegate for making the arrangements. The evening is as follows: 5:30 - 6:00 PM Wine Reception; 6:00 - 7:00 PM presentation by Daryl Sattui, owner of V. Sattui Winery and Castello Di Amorosa: Every Child Dreams of Building a Castle; Daryl Sattui Built a Real One and a Wine Business Too!
Daryl Sattui owns a successful winery in the Napa Valley, and he carries on the tradition and love of the land given to him by his father. The father's dream of a major wine organization is now complemented by the son's vision of a "knock-out architectural tour de force" blending art, history, wine, and old-world building crafts and traditions. The result is Castello di Amorosa located in Calistoga. It is a 107 room, 121,000 square foot medieval castle complete with drawbridge, battle towers made with ancient imported Italian stone and brick crafted with authentic attention to detail. The ironwork, the woodwork, the frescoes are museum quality and the medieval architecture is to scale and authentic. We will hear first hand from Daryl the story of the odyssey of conceiving and building the most amazing "new/old" building in California. An introduction will be given by John Hodges describing the work of CHC.

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him.
Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-22, NIV)
Imagine this. You're in a minivan, or a sedan. You've just dropped the kids at soccer or the YMCA, or maybe you've just left work. You pull up to one of those long traffic lights, and you look to your left - and see a familiar face.
Now most of the time, you've seen this face in paintings, or drawings. The long hair, the graceful, radiant face. This is the face of Jesus. Emmanuel. God with us.
Jesus. Savior of the world. Right there, next to you, at the light.
On a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Not a huge one, but a Harley, nonetheless. With those big ol' mufflers that don't really muffle much sound. He's wearing those black leathers, and his hair in a ponytail. Worn, callused hands on the handlebars. The saddlebags are mostly empty, because Jesus doesn't carry much with him.
The fenders and the leathers are dusty - he's been on the road a while. But you feel the call...you know you have to speak. So you roll down your window, and before you can say anything, he smiles at you, motions to the empty seat behind him, and says, "Come follow me...come with me for the ride of your life. The ride of a lifetime..."
That's the theme of my friend Jeff Jacobsen's book, So I Go Now: Following After the Jesus of Our Day. Jeff describes how time and time again, the Rider appears, and motions to him to park the minivan, turn off the cell phone, ditch the job and the church work and the Boy Scouts and reruns of "Friends" and Monday night football - all of it - and just RIDE with him. How marvelous the ride has been, when he's been willing to do it...and how much he's regretted each time he's let the chance slip away.
Now imagine pulling the minivan (the sedan, SUV, you name it) over at the corner - say at 95th & Metcalf in my former home in Overland Park, KS, or at 75th and Cicero in Chicago. Imagine shutting off the key, leaving the van there in the parking lot of the Home Depot, getting on the back of the Harley, and riding away.
THAT is what the Gospel writers are talking about when Jesus said, "Come follow me," and they left "immediately." Or "at once." Leave your fish, your nets, your father...your van, your responsibilities, your commitments. "Follow me."
It brings me to tears to think of the number of times I've watched that Harley ride off - the seat behind my Savior empty, and me sitting at the light, cars honking, with a heart full of "Yeah, but's..." I'll follow you - as soon as I lose a hundred pounds (fat men NEVER look good on Harleys, no matter how cool it might be). As soon as I get my finances in order (gotta take care of business first). As soon as the family is settled (they're my number one priority, now - who will take care of them if I don't?). Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jesus....soon. Just not right now.
God, help me to see where God-as-I-understand-God is in my life today - and give me the strength and the willingness to just shut up, say, "Yes," get on the motorcycle, and ride, whatever that will mean today. Amen.

Is an employee who "retires" statutorily entitled to immediate payment of all wages?Posted in: Employment Law by Dowling Aaron on
Labor Code sections 202 and 203 require employers to make prompt payment of the final wages owed to employees who are discharged or "quit." An employer that "willfully fails to pay" is subject to waiting time penalties of up to 30 days' wages. When an employee retires, is he or she quitting under section 203? This question is answered in the affirmative by the California Supreme Court in the recent case of McLean v. State of California, S221554 (filed 8/18/16).
Janis S. McLean, a retired deputy attorney general, sued for herself and a class of former state employees who retired or resigned from their jobs and did not receive their final wages within the statutory time periods. The State's demurrer was granted, without leave, by the Sacramento County trial court because she "retired" from her job, and thus failed to state a claim that would entitle her to relief under section 203, which it determined applies only when employees "quit." The Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, disagreed and reversed, finding that the statute applied to employees who "quit to retire." The state high court granted review, and agreed with the Court of Appeal.
The Supreme Court applied the usual rules of statutory interpretation, including the liberal construction of remedial enactments, and the ordinary meaning rule where the statue gives no interpretive guidance. Simply put, quit means "to leave one's employment." Acknowledging the accuracy of the State's contention that to "retire" connotes permanent withdrawal from gainful employment while to "quit" does not, the court notes the statute is intended to protect persons whether they intend to work further or not; employees' future motives and intentions should not matter. [As a side note, in 2010, I "retired" from state employment after 29 years on the bench. For the past 6 years, I have been working, mostly full-time, primarily as a private neutral. And I am not alone among State retirees who continue to be gainfully employed.]
The State additionally argues that the legislature knows when to use the term "retires" as the term is used in section 202, subdivision (c), which states a special deferred payment rule applies when an electing state employee "quits, retires, or disability retires." The fact that "retires" is not expressly joined with "quits" in subdivision (a) would make the reference to "retires" in subdivision (c) superfluous, argues the State. Not so, responds the high court, citing case law that declined to give effect to the canon against surplusage under similar circumstances. Here, legislative history tends to support, rather than undermine, giving broad interpretation to the term "quit." To allow an employee the tax benefit of electing a deferred payment in the following tax year helps a retiree, who would be qualifying under subdivision (a) in the first place, before this "immediate payment" exception comes into play.
The McLean opinion should cause employers, not just the State, to be very precise in the prompt issuance of final pay to retirees, as included in the definition of quitting employees. As noted by the Supreme Court in a footnote, wages include various types of employment benefits to which employees are entitled, including paid leave. And employers should not be comforted by the notion that, so long as they do not act with some wrongful intent, they would be not be penalized. As those attorneys who are familiar with case law concerning proof of willfulness under this statute, it is a relatively low threshold.

What am I doing to change the world?
The brutal deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling both occurred days after our country celebrated it's biggest summer holiday, the 4th of July. A celebration of freedom and independence. Most of American were on vacation, enjoying family and friends, traveling to popular destinations and surfing social media.
When I saw the Alton shooting on Facebook, I was a bit upset to see another brother shot dead in the streets. The police are at it again, I thought to myself. Then I read that he had a weapon on him and was selling cd's. Now I'm thinking maybe he was a street hustler and had be doing some dirt, which is why the police harassed him. Not that he deserved to be killed or even harassed, but that maybe he had some bad karma coming.
Point is that I found myself a bit numb to the whole thing. I felt disconnected to Alton Sterling and his family. I felt helpless and hopeless, like there was nothing that I could do to make a difference.
Because I believed that there was nothing that I could do to make a difference, I did nothing to make a difference. The only thing I did was talk about it to others and on social media.
Then when I saw the Philando Castile case and something struck a nerve. The difference was Philando was out with his lady and her daughter. I don't believe he was into any nefarious activities at this time. Also in his case he was complying with the letter of the law and still lost his life.
I started thinking about how could this happen to anyone, not just a black man. What attitudes, beliefs, laws and social constructs need to be present for this type of thing to take place? Why is it that it only happens in this way with the police? Why is it that when the police who kill it's almost never considered a violation worthy of Imprisonment, yet for citizens this same behavior would definitely warrant jail time? Why are the police so afraid of black people? Why hasn't the federal government considered getting involved? Is the media playing these stories up? What the fuck is going on? And most of all what am I going to do about it?
The last question is the one that hit home the most. What am I going to do about it? "Mr. Change the world" can't sit on the slides of the world series of systematic genocide and just enjoy the show.
So why am I not in the Game? Because I have stuff to do. I have to work, because I got bills, debts and I'm addicted to many things that cost money. Things like fancy cell phones, electronics, nice shoes, clothes, music and movies, just to name a few.
Once I get out of debt, get a little nest egg of cash in the bank and fill my house up with a lots of stuff to distract me from reality, then I might be ready to get into activism of some sort. Then I might have the leisure time required to get involved enough to make a difference.
Maybe I'll get involved when my cousin, brother or best friend gets shot. Then I'll be ready because I'm close to the victim. I'm sure that would raise my level of compassion to a point where I would support my brothers.
Maybe I will never do a damn thing because the truth is, I'm scared. I'm scared of the police and the government. I have never had a great experience with the law. I have had a few good experiences and plenty of horrible ones. I suffer from LEEPTSD, Law Enforcement Encounter Post Stress Traumatic Disorder. For Real!
I see the police and I experience anxiety, I get nervous and sometimes confused. I try to adjust my behavior, as to not draw attention to myself. I believe being black is strike one and being male is strike two. So it's real easy for me to strike out and get flagged as a perp in the mind of a white officer.
My LEEPSTD keeps me from speaking out against injustice. Fearing that doing so would put me on the FBI's watch list, therefore ruining my life forever. If I speak out, I will be persecuted, ostracized, label as an angry black man or troublemaker.
I do nothing, and I make excuses based on fear. That's not who I want to be and that's not who I say I am.
I am someone who wants to change the world for the better. I am someone that has the power to make a difference. I am someone that has tremendous compassion for my fellow human. I am Philando Castile and I am Alton Sterling.
I'm going to do something.

We all know the bit about the certainty of death and taxes. While cliche, it's absolutely true that both are darn near impossible to avoid.
We should, however, be able to avoid death and taxes happening on the same day. At least death by car accident.
A new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and reported on by Bloomberg, says traffic accidents on and around April 15 have risen an average of 6 percent for each of the last 30 years. More of those accidents resulted in fatalities than on other random days of the year.
Even allowing Americans to file their taxes electronically hasn't negated the crash trend, lead researcher Donald Redelmeier said. The findings suggest stress, lack of sleep, alcohol use and less tolerance to other drivers on tax deadline day may contribute to an increase in deaths on the road.
Now, I don't mean to be insensitive here, but come on, people. It's not like April 15 comes as a surprise to working adults. The date doesn't just randomly appear in the middle of February and demand that taxes be done immediately. I assume the people who freak out on April 15 are the same ones who, as 5th graders, told their parents during the morning carpool that they had a school science fair project due by 9.
Since the study states the obvious fact that stressful deadlines can lead to driver error, we must make the obvious conclusion that the key to halting tax-day driver deaths is simple:
Dismantle the IRS since it causes traffic accidents.
Or, I suppose the other option is to do your taxes in February. That way, when April rolls around, you can breathe easy and remember to watch closely for traffic hazards. Don't text while driving, make sure to buckle up, avoid alcohol (unless there's a taxi and a Metallica concert in your future) and drive defensively as you keep on the lookout for hyped-up, stressed-out, sleep-deprived tax procrastinators.
Your life may depend on it.
Do you become a dangerous driver at tax time? What time of year do you spot the most bad driving?

X11 forwarding allows users who have an account on a Unix server to open a connection to the X11 interface remotely from another computer. The communication between the systems is encrypted. In order to log in to Argo, you must use an SSH client, such as PuTTY, or the ssh command.
To use X11 forwarding when using the ssh command, include the -X operand. For example:
ssh -X email@example.com
Remember to include -X every time you want to connect.
To configure PuTTY to use X11 forwarding (the following assumes you have a existing Argo profile):
It is important that you assign a new name to the modified Argo profile; a name that indicates that you are using X11 forwarding. In the above, I assigned the profile the name argo-withx11. You may use that name or one of your own selection. But, it is vital that you distinguish between a profile that uses X11 forwarding and one that does not.
Once you connected to Argo, you must not change the environmental variable DISPLAY. The variable has the appropriate setting. When you don't use X11 forwarding, you must set the DISPLAY variable to the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the machine running your X-server (your desktop or laptop). Examples:
export DISPLAY=126.96.36.199:0 export DISPLAY=jsmith.cc.uic.edu:0 setenv DISPLAY 22.214.171.124:0 setenv DISPLAY jsmith.cc.uic.edu:0
But, since you are using X11-Forwarding, you don't change the setting; SSH has already set it for you. If you do change it, some of the Argo software, such as GaussView, might not function correctly. To see the DISPLAY variable setting but not change it, use the echo command on Argo (don't forget the preceding dollar sign):
echo $DISPLAY
You should see the word localhost, a colon, a number, a period, and a zero. For example:
To confirm that your X-server is working with X11 forwarding, enter the following command on Argo:
Initially you will be prompted to confirm that it is okay to accept a connection from 127.0.0.1.
Important note: the IP must be 127.0.0.1. If so, click Yes. If a clock appears on the screen, then you know that X is working and is configured properly. If the IP is something other than 127.0.0.1, click No.

You are probably looking at this photo and are wondering "What? Chicken Marsala with no mushrooms?! It is just not Chicken Marsala without mushrooms." Personally, I can not stand the taste of mushrooms, but I love the taste of marsala wine. Yum! So I left the mushrooms out and I certainly didn't miss them not one bit. The one thing I love most about this recipe is that the chicken is marinated in Italian dressing for the added extra flavor. Also, the dressing allows the chicken to be very moist and tender. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Chicken Marsala
Light and Tasty Taste of Home
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup marsala wine or 3 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice plus 5 tablespoons additional reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Place in a large resealable plastic bag; add salad dressing. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and discard marinade. Combine the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of chicken. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken in 1 tablespoon oil and butter for 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer to a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Gradually add broth and wine to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Strain sauce; set aside. In the same skillet, cook mushrooms in remaining oil for 2 minutes; drain. Stir sauce into mushrooms; heat through. Pour over chicken; sprinkle with parsley. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

All requests for admissions into Reception are dealt with by the Schools Admissions Department at the Civic Centre.
Admissions are made on line via the http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3312 .
E-mail –email@example.com Telephone: 0191 5611399
Deadlines for admissions vary from year to year and prospective parents need to check the closing date. Children are usually admitted to school in the September of the academic year in which their fifth birthday falls. Below is the statement about how places are allocated.
All other places higher up the school or in year transfers are dealt with by application to the school directly.
Initially places are allocated using the following criteria:
'Looked-after' child – a child that is 'looked-after' by a Local Authority in accordance with Section 22(1) of the Children's Act 1989 and a child who was looked after, but ceased to be so, because of adoption (or has become subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
A sibling link – an older brother/sister or older child (including adoptive, foster or step-children) who shares the same parent/carer and lives at the same address, who will still be attending the preferred school, or the junior school for which the preferred school is the feeder infant school, at the time of admission.
Exceptional medical or psychological reasons – (you must include a medical/psychological report, prepared by a professional, to confirm information that you include in this section. This report should explain why only this school can meet your child's medical or psychological needs. Common childhood medical conditions such as asthma or giving a child's nervousness at starting new school as a psychological reason for choosing a particular school are unlikely to be accepted as exceptional). If you intend to use this criterion when expressing a preference, please contact the School Admissions Team before completing the application form. (Eligibility under this category will be considered by a meeting of Senior LA Officers).
Pupils for whom preferences are expressed on grounds other than those outlined above.
Within each of the above, places will be offered on the basis of distance from the centre of the home address to the main entrance of the school with priority being given to those living closest to the school. Distance is measured by the shortest/safest walking distance, using a geographical information system (GIS).
At the first stage of allocations there will be no distinction between 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. preference applications. All applications will be considered equally against the admission criteria. If a pupil then qualifies for a place at more than one school, the parent's highest ranked preference will be offered and any lower ranking offers will be disregarded. In determining allocations, priority will be given to those applications where the parental preference is received by the published deadline date.
Where a pupil has a statement of special education need naming a school, a place will be offered at that school (subject to confirmation by the SEN Unit).
Parents who are awarded a place for their child may request that the date their child is admitted to school is deferred until later in the year or subsequent year, for example, until the start of the term when the child reaches compulsory school age. Parents can also request that their child takes up the place part time, if it is in the interest of the child, until the child is of compulsory school age. In this instance, parents must discuss this with the Headteacher. Compulsory school age is determined as the term after the child's fifth birthday.
Where it is not possible to offer a place at a school, the child will be placed on a waiting list. The waiting list is sorted using the admission criteria and will be held until the end of the Autumn term, after the children start school in September. Parents who are refused a place have a statutory right of appeal. Further details of the appeals process will be included with the notification letter but are also available from the School Admissions Team.

Monthly Archives: September 2012
-I co washed on Monday, wore a bun on Tuesday and twisted and bantu knotted my hair last night for these results :
Then I didnt like it this morning for some reason and I put a head band on and went about my business
.. @1pm I took the head band off (#headbandproblems) fluffed it ~ Â Â Â Result:
|bad lighting
It is super fluffy, stretched .. and growing on me.. Check out some of my favorite Bantu knot-out videos:
Below is her version of a 'busted bantu knot-out', I loved her video 1.) caz she crazy! and 2.) because its real talk…it might not come out perfectly. (still loved her hair though!)
Life is so crazy at times and you never know from moment to moment how things will end up or what lessons you will learn. We learn things everyday, some lessons are big and some are small and I thought it would be fun to recap some of the things I learned from Friday until …well now! Â (fun stuff, nothing too deep)
1.) I cry over uncooked pork- Lesson ~ I have a good/patient man
– Ok I don't know if it was hormones or what happened but I made some pork chops on Saturday and I swear every piece was perfect except for one!-the one I decided to hand to Joey for dinner, it was literally a mess!- that thing was raw'er than a mug. So what happened was ….I gave him dinner then went to take a shower. I decided to check on him after awhile, so I was like 'hey Joey, how was the pork?' he is like.. 'honestly babe I couldn't finish it!' – Then he brings it in the room where I was and I saw the catastrophe that was on his plate. I just busted out crying, full on tears, red nose, the works. Poor thing he just put the plate down and hugged and hugged me and was like, baby its ok.. it really is ok.. I know that boy thinks I'm crazy, I just know he does… Sigh!
2.) Solange should just model and talk less – Lesson ~ Sometimes its easier to just 'be' instead of trying to define yourself to everyone with your tongue
3.) Pregnancy is the most beautiful and uncomfortable thing I have ever been through ~ This weekend I realized that I AM actually carrying a 4 pound watermelon inside of me.. Lesson ~ moms are amazing and, the idea is … in 7 weeks somehow I will be able to get this watermelon out of what more or less is a smaller hole in comparison to the watermelon. ~Â good luck with that!
4.) IPhone 5 lines were so crazy this weekend – Lesson ~ don't leave your Iphone lying around or you will have to use a Samsung and you will be annoyed and have to stand in line like everyone else just so you can get the new one.
5.) Never watch a MahagonyCurls video and think, maybe my hair will do 'that' right now If I get in the shower and wash it ~ like literally right after I watched the video! ~ My hair was like 'that ain't happening, do you boo, damn' ~Lesson ~ Emily will only act right with the routine she is used to.
How was your weekend?
Chris from Caribbean Pot has the yummiest recipes and on one of his posts he introduced a Jamaican girl (Jessiker Bakes) that had a great recipe for Carrot Pineapple Muffin Cupcakes.
See below:
- 2-1/2 cups white/whole wheat pastry flour
- 3 tbsp oat bran *
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large egg whites
- 1/2 cup light agave nectar
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1-1/3 cups grated carrots
- 3/4 cup diced pineapple
- 12 chunks of fresh or canned pineapple, about 1 x 1 x 1/2 inch in size
Shanti of A curls Best Friend wrote a post today about re-igniting the flame between you and your hair, especially after a couple years of doing the same old thing over and over. I started to think about my relationship with Emily and honestly we are kind of like an old married couple? Is that so bad? sure the flame is gone, I no longer get excited on wash day, I don't play in my hair like I used to and even my excessive visits to Sallys and other beauty supply stores have kind of dwindled. So Shanti posed the question, how do you get the flame back? What makes you want to try different hairstyles and get excited about your hair again?.
Oh and she also mentioned she used to look at the blog posts daily(Curly Nikki and Moptopmaven) – That was me, I would never ever miss a day!
|Curly Nikki
So how do we get the flame back? can we? or are we just too busy talking about hair to actually do our hair?
 I know Im a victim of hair boredom or that #imtoobusyforthisish attitude- I will bun in a minute and with a baby on the way, its about to get worse real quick.
Set a new hair goal – My hair is below bra strap stretched right now, what if I just used my routine which has been working for me, to gain longer lengths. This way I can keep doing what I am doing and I will have a valid excuse for not experimenting so much and 'igniting a flame so to speak'- see.. easy!
|curl box baby
Do you ever get offended when someone says something ' bad 'about one of your beloved products that you have been using forever!???  – I did this week, I'm so weird!, because truth be told what works for me may not work for everyone else. But I have heard the statement 'I am no longer using coconut oil because it acts like a protein' -in more of a negative light lately and well I have been thinking about it and I feel a little bad because, coconut oil is one of the best oils out there and protein literally saved my hair! – Biased much?
My opinion – Coconut oil acts like an oil and protein acts like a protein point blank! Maybe the reason people say coconut oil behaves like a protein is because coconut oil actually penetrates the hair strand just like a hydrolised protein molecule would but the verdict on the reasoning is still out. So I did some research, because there is some protein in coconut oil and in that case there might be some truth/confusion to that statement.
Coconut oil is a plant-based oil extracted from the kernel of the coconut with a high concentration of saturated fatty acids, lauric acid, capric acid and vitamins E and K. In its natural unprocessed state, coconut oil has a high moisture retaining capacity and does not breakdown or evaporate easily when it is applied to the hair and penetrates the hair shaft. This is highly beneficial to black hair that is challenged by its inability to consume and retain moisture. Coconut oil's high concentration of fatty acids also nourishes your hair with protein that produces strong and long, soft and shiny hair.

One of the main issues most naturals have with their hair is dryness, and anything that may contribute to dryness is an absolute no no. It is a fact that excessive protein can be drying, as well as using oil improperly can be drying. as a matter of fact, using anything the wrong way can lead to less than stellar results with your hair.
I think protein sensitivity is a bit of a myth,- I don't see how anyone could be 'sensitive; to the very thing that hair is made of to the extent where they avoid protein all together but that's just me. The reason we do protein treatments is very simple, the intention is to correct the damage we have caused from, styling, over styling, general manipulation and natural wear and tear. There is no other way to repair the hair unless you literally add the basic components back to it that it is now missing from damage. –
With that said – how can we right the 'wrongs' of protein and coconut oil, here are some tips:
Apply oil only after your hair is properly moisturized – Even though coconut oil has moisturizing properties its still an oil and it is meant to seal and either block in or block out moisture. If you add oil to dry hair the result will be just that – Dry hair
For every protein treatment – you should have 3 -4 additional moisture treatments (balance babe, balance)- What does that mean? to illustrate: If I decided this week I intend to do an Aphogee protein treatment, then on the day of the treatment I would follow up with an intense moisture based deep condition. And on days after my protein treatment adding products to my hair that promote moisture, is a must! (water based leave in conditioners, regular conditioner, aloe vera juice, more co-washing less shampooing..you know the drill)
Determine if your hair is porous – Sometimes, its not what you put in your hair that causes dryness but its the structure of the hair that may need some attention. If your hair strand has 'holes' in it, it will act just like a strainer would when you want to separate the water from a can of corn (the water will flow right through) Research porosity and determine if that is the root of your issue, the only way to fix it is – protein! (go figure)
|curl box
Don't go ham on the protein when doing a treatment :– if you have eggs in your mix, you probably don't need the mayo. Try using one or the other on each occasion of treatment!
I guess the point of this post is, don't completely cut out something out of your routine until you are absolutely sure that you are using it in the correct manner.
Ant Body Wash – Japan
When Marc Antony wooed Cleopatra, when Julius Caesar made a speech, when Ben Hur rode his mighty chariot, they all participated in a sacred ritual that continues today — they gargled.
While that hardly deserves a mention, bear in mind, they weren't swishing Scope or Listerine. To improve the color of their teeth and freshen their breath, Romans imported and swilled Portuguese urine. Apparently, the Portuguese pH was much more divine and manly than mellow Roman yellow.
While obviously unpleasant, urine contains several compounds like ammonia and urea that actually kill germs and help fight the gum disease gingivitis. No price listed.

It's summertime which means there are tons of delicious fruit in season! Seriously, though, every time we go grocery shopping, we have a hard time deciding which seasons fruits to buy. This week, we settled on a ton of cherries and, before we ate them all, we did a little experimenting and came up with these Raw Tahini Cherry Thumbprint Cookies!
The cherry-tahini combo is pretty spectacular. It's like a new version of PB&J but slightly tart and a bit more on the savory side of sweet. We purposefully didn't make these cookies super sweet, allowing the tart cherries to speak for themselves. And then when we snack on them midday, there's less guilt involved;)
These cookies are all raw, but still have that buttery, creamy texture that lets you know you're eating a cookie. Plus, the cherry filling contains chia seeds for an added healthy boost to your treat. These cookies are ideal for summer potlucks, kid-friendly desserts, and when it's just too hot to turn on your oven!
Cherry Filling
2/3 cup fresh cherries, pitted
2 tsp. maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp. chia seeds
Tahini Thumbprint Cookies
3/4 cup medjool dates, pitted
1 cup raw tahini, unsalted
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. mesquite powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Cherry Filling
- In your food processor, combine cherries, chia seeds, and maple syrup until cherries are broken down.
- Pour in a bowl or container and place in your fridge to thicken up.
Tahini Thumbprint Cookies
- Line a large plate with parchment paper.
- Place the dates in your food processor and process to form a date paste.
- Add remaining ingredients and process to combine.
- Using a cookie scoop (medium size works well), scoop 9-10 cookies onto the lined plate.
- Using your fingers, press down in the center of each cookie to form a circular indent where the cherry filling will go.
- Place cookies in the fridge for about 30 minutes to harden.
- After at least 30 minutes, remove cookies and cherry filling from the fridge.
- Place a spoonful of the cherry filling into each cookie indent to fill (you may have leftover filling – great in place of jam!).
- Eat immediately and/or store in your fridge.

Penn State Football
Penn State football notes: Nittany Lions overcome injuries to edge Syracuse
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — When it comes to injuries, Bill O'Brien's attitude is a familiar football refrain — next man up.
O'Brien had to call for the next man up twice Saturday during Penn State's 23-17 win over Syracuse at MetLife stadium — once for linebacker Mike Hull and then for tight end Matt Lehman.
In the first quarter, Hull was escorted from the field and back through the tunnel. He returned to the sideline, and then the game, with his right knee heavily taped, surrounded by a knee brace. He played a few more plays before being removed permanently.
After halftime, he could be seen on the sideline in shorts and a ball cap.
"It's always tough when you lose a guy like Mike Hull. He's one of the hearts and souls of the defense," fellow linebacker Glenn Carson said. "He's just a guy that gets after it every time so it's tough when a guy like him goes down, but you've got to keep rolling. That's part of football and you've just got to keep rolling with the punches and hang in there."
Safety Stephen Obeng-Agyapong stepped in for Hull.
"I was doing what was best for the team. Ideally I would love to play safety but playing linebacker is great for me," he said.
Defensive lineman DaQuan Jones said he was pleased and impressed with Obeng-Agyapong's play.
"That's great for him," Jones said. "My hat's off to him. He just came in there and replaced Mike Hull. It was amazing to watch that. I was very happy to see that happen," he said.
Then on Penn State's first possession of the second quarter, Lehman went down with what looked like a left knee injury. On first-and-10 from the PSU 18, Christian Hackenberg rolled to his right on a bootleg waggle. Lehman ran a short route down the seam, stopped, chopped his steps and, before he could make his cut, went down clutching his left knee. He didn't return.
"It's tough for those guys. We just use that as fuel. There's nothing we can do about it we've just got to keep on trucking and that's what those guys want us to do, just keep on playing," Obeng-Agyapong said.
Safety Malcolm Willis echoed O'Brien and Obeng-Agyapong's sentiments on having to keep moving on despite seeing a teammate go down.
"Everybody feels for that person but at the same time we want to perform and win the game for that person," he said. "When they went down, it was unfortunate but we had to finish the game and that's what we did."
Young, young guns
Of the 74 players that traveled with Penn State for its showdown with Syracuse, 42 percent were freshmen. Yep, 42 percent. Sixteen of them were true freshmen and 15 of them were redshirt freshmen.
The rest of the roster was comprised of 15 sophomores, 16 juniors and just 12 seniors.
Famous firsts for Hackenberg
A new era of Penn State football started Saturday. True freshman Hackenberg got the start at quarterback and performed admirably. There's no telling how successful he'll be, but here's a list of his firsts:
His first play under center, on first-and-10 at the PSU 26, resulted in a false start.
His first pass and first completion was a 5-yard completion to running back Zach Zwinak.
After completing the first six passes he attempted, his first incompletion was directed toward Lehman.
His first punt, yes punt, was for 42 yards into the end zone and ended Penn State's first possession.
His first interception came when he targeted tight end Kyle Carter. The ball floated and was picked off by Syracuse free safety Jeremi Wilkes.
The first time he was sacked came on a second-and-four with 8:12 left in the second quarter. When no one was open, he had to hold the ball and take the sack.
His first touchdown pass was a 51-yard connection with Allen Robinson, who was wide open on the play on an obviously blown coverage.
Talent scouting
A number of NFL scouts were in the press box evaluating talent on both teams. Representatives from Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, Indianapolis Colts, Jackson Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks and York Jets were on hand.
Wide receiver Eugene Lewis caught the first touchdown pass of his career, a 54-yard post route caught in stride from Hackenberg.
Several other Nittany Lions celebrated firsts, as well.
Tackle Garry Gilliam made his first career start on the offensive line. He previously had started 11 games at tight end.
Obeng-Agyapong had his first career interception in the third quarter and returned it four yards to the Syracuse 44-yard line.
Cornerback Trevor Williams made his first career start on the defense.
Hall of Famer in the house
New Pro Football Hall of Famer Dave Robinson, a Penn State grad, was an honorary captain for the Nittany Lions.

justin ringle, the man behind horse feathers, is our guest contributor today. since moving to portland, oregon in 2004, he's been performing under that moniker, which has since expanded to include peter and heather broderick in the lineup. his most recent album house with no home was just released on kill rock stars, a record featured here last month. in this post, he shares what he's been waking up to lately:
i have been obsessively listening and waking up to this tune by gillian welch called "annabelle". it's a song about a sharecropper in alabama and it is so sad, beautiful and timeless that I can't help but listen more than once in a row. the harmonies in the chorus make my hairs stand up… beautiful song.

3-D, having proven its viability with the showmen, is making its way to the artists. Martin Scorsese is filming his upcoming "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" in the format, and word is in from Die Zeit's Susanne Schmetkamp that Wim Wenders is employing it for a documentary that he's in the midst of shooting, about the late choreographer Pina Bausch:
With a boyish enthusiasm, the filmmaker describes the initial test footage for "Pina," which was basically awful. Everything turned jittery and stroboscopic—exactly the opposite of what three-dimensional dance footage should yield, namely, fluid, natural motion. This problem had already come up during the filming of "Avatar." "Yet, weirdly," Wenders said, "they were able to hush it up better." It turned out to be necessary to shoot at fifty frames per second rather than the customary twenty-four, but to do so, it took, as Wenders said, "a colossal apparatus and higher mathematics." Now, however, Wenders is able to do the same thing with a moving Steadycam; that's how fast the technology is advancing. "The cameras have to move," he said, "otherwise much of the 3-D effect is lost."
I'm looking forward to seeing how the dances will look when filmed in space. Meanwhile, I hope that the cinematic interest in Bausch may prompt an enterprising distributor to bring out, at least on DVD, the exquisite film of her dances, "One Day Pina Asked Me…" ("Un jour Pina m'a demandé…"; also called "On Tour With Pina Bausch"), that Chantal Akerman made in 1983.

Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP)-
Applicants must be:
►Oklahoma resident
►8th, 9th or 10th grade students
►Students whose parents earn $50,000 or less per year
►Students who promise to meet the requirements of the program
Apply online: www.okpromise.org
Discover the promise of FREE college tuition!
Oklahomans want to see deserving students succeed – students who study and work hard, but whose families find it difficult to afford college. If your child dreams of going to college and works to achieve it, then we can help make it a reality!
To make that happen, the Oklahoma Legislature has set up a unique program for eighth-, ninth- and 10th-grade students (homeschool students must be age 13, 14 or 15) that will help pay for their college education if their parents' income from taxed and untaxed sources is $50,000 or less at the time the student applies for the program.* This program is Oklahoma's Promise.
But college isn't easy. So to make sure students get ready for college while they're still in high school, the program requires students to take certain high school courses. They will have to pass those courses and keep up their grades. And besides staying on top of the books, students will also have to show that they're in control outside the classroom. That means staying away from trouble like gangs, drugs and alcohol. In short, the student promises to prepare academically for college and stay out of trouble, and in return, the state of Oklahoma promises to help pay the student's college tuition.
If you don't qualify for this program, there are still other ways to pay for college, including scholarships, grants and student loans. For more information on other financial aid, see your counselor for more details, visit the Financial Aid Planning section of OKcollegestart.org, or call the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education's student information hotline at 800.858.1840.
*Special income provisions apply to certain adopted children and children in the custody of court-appointed legal guardians. Contact the Oklahoma's Promise office for more information. In addition, the federal adjusted gross income (AGI) of the student's parents (or the income of the student if the student is officially determined to be financially independent of their parents) may not exceed $100,000 at the time the student begins college and prior to receiving the scholarship. The second income check becomes effective for students eligible to receive the award in college for the first time in 2012-13 and thereafter.
225-9152 in OKC
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, call the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education's student information hotline at 800.858.1840 or write Oklahoma's Promise, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, PO Box 108850, Oklahoma City, OK 73101-8850.
1Special income provisions apply to children adopted from certain court-ordered custody and children in the custody of court-appointed legal guardians. See the FAQs for Application and Income.
2Homeschool students and students graduating from a high school not accredited by the Oklahoma State Board of Education or a recognized accrediting agency must also achieve a composite score of 22 or higher on the ACT test taken on a national test date ("residual" ACT test scores do not qualify).
