Cafe Havana reborn in Smithtown
It isn't often that a restaurant returns from the Great Beyond, but Cafe Havana in Smithtown has been resurrected after being shuttered for about a year.
As manager Edward Rivera tells it, the place incurred a massive water leak. Damage was extensive, as were interior renovations.
Chef Ramon Perez returns with a menu that's pretty much the same as before, with a few additions. You'll find such options as crab empanadas ($10), shrimp mofongo ($2), pernil asado, or roasted pork ($18) and a classic Cuban sandwich ($14) — a major attraction in years past.
Cafe Havana is at 944 W. Jericho Tpke., Smithtown, 631-670-6277.

Why do some have many friends, and others do not? Is it always advantageous to have many friends or are different social phenotypes adaptive in different social, environmental, and life history settings?
In my research I explore functional and mechanistic aspects of social bonding in non-human primate societies. Particularly I am interested in the interplay between hormone and social bonding patterns, in the question how these two traits vary within and between individuals, and how they (co-)evolve in different societies of primate species. Furthermore, I investigate how social competence relates to cognitive and communication skills. To address these questions I work on behavioural data and (non-invasively collected) hormonal samples of various non-human primate species.
Since May 2016 I am employed at the Department of Primatology of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. Within the ERC project Ape Attachment (awarded to Catherine Crockford) we explore the role of heritability, early-life conditions, and social opportunities on social bonding patterns in communities of wild chimpanzees inhabiting the Tai forest (Ivory Coast) and the Budongo forest (Uganda). Furthermore, we are interested in how these patterns relate to hormonal profiles (glucocorticoids and oxytocin in particular) and communication skills.

Instead of using a file-based data store, you can set up a broker to access any data store accessible through a JDBC-compliant driver. This involves setting the appropriate JDBC-related broker configuration properties and using the Database Manager utility (imqdbmgr) to create the proper database schema. See Configuring a JDBC-Based Data Store for specifics.
The full set of properties for configuring a broker to use a JDBC database are listed in Table 17–7. You can specify these properties either in the instance configuration file (config.properties) of each broker instance or by using the -D command line option to the Broker utility (imqbrokerd) or the Database Manager utility (imqdbmgr).
In practice, however, JDBC properties are preconfigured by default, depending on the database vendor being used for the data store. The property values are set in the default.properties file, and only need to be explicitly set if you are overriding the default values. In general, you only need to set the following properties:
This property specifies that a JDBC-based data store (as opposed to the default file-based data store) is used to store persistent data.
This property identifies the database vendor being used for the data store; all of the remaining properties are qualified by this vendor name.
This property specifies the user name to be used by the broker in accessing the database.
This property specifies the password for accessing the database, if required; imq.persist.jdbc.vendorName.needpassword is a boolean flag specifying whether a password is needed. For security reasons, the database access password should be specified only in a password file referenced with the -passfile command line option; if no such password file is specified, the imqbrokerd and imqdbmgr commands will prompt for the password interactively.
This set of properties represents any additional, vendor-specific properties that are required.
Specifies the vendor-specific options passed to the database when creating the table schema.
imq.persist.store=jdbc imq.persist.jdbc.dbVendor=mysql imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.user=userName imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.password=password imq.persist.jdbc.mysql.property.url=jdbc:mysql://hostName:port/dataBase
If you expect to have messages that are larger than 1 MB, configure MySQL's max_allowed_packet variable accordingly when starting the database. For more information see Appendix B of the MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual.
imq.persist.store=jdbc imq.persist.jdbc.dbVendor=hadb imq.persist.jdbc.hadb.user=userName imq.persist.jdbc.hadb.password=password imq.persist.jdbc.hadb.property.serverlist=hostName:port,hostName:port,...
You can obtain the server list using the hadbm get jdbcURL command.
In addition, in an enhanced broker cluster, in which a JDBC database is shared by multiple broker instances, each broker must be uniquely identified in the database (unnecessary for an embedded database, which stores data for only one broker instance). The configuration property imq.brokerid specifies a unique instance identifier to be appended to the names of database tables for each broker. See Enhanced Broker Cluster Properties.
After setting all of the broker's needed JDBC configuration properties, you must also install your JDBC driver's .jar file in the appropriate directory location, depending on your operating-system platform (as listed in Appendix A, Distribution-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data) and then create the database schema for the JDBC-based data store (see To Set Up a JDBC-Based Data Store).
To configure a broker to use a JDBC database, you set JDBC-related properties in the broker's instance configuration file and create the appropriate database schema. The Message Queue Database Manager utility (imqdbmgr) uses your JDBC driver and the broker configuration properties to create the schema and manage the database. You can also use the Database Manager to delete corrupted tables from the database or if you want to use a different database as a data store. See Database Manager Utility for more information.
If you use an embedded database, it is best to create it under the following directory:
If an embedded database is not protected by a user name and password, it is probably protected by file system permissions. To ensure that the database is readable and writable by the broker, the user who runs the broker should be the same user who created the embedded database using the imqdbmgr command.
Set JDBC-related properties in the broker's instance configuration file.
The relevant properties are discussed, with examples, in JDBC-Based Persistence Properties and listed in full in Table 17–7. In particular, you must specify a JDBC-based data store by setting the broker's imq.persist.store property to jdbc.
Place a copy of, or a symbolic link to, your JDBC driver's .jar file in the Message Queue external resource files directory, depending on how Message Queue was installed (see Appendix A, Distribution-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data):
IPS packages: IMQ_HOME/lib/ext
Solaris SVR4 packages: /usr/share/lib/imq/ext
Linux RPM packages: /opt/sun/mq/share/lib/ext
For example, if you are using HADB on an IPS package-based installation, the following command copies the driver's .jar file to the appropriate location:
cp /opt/SUNWhadb/4/lib/hadbjdbc4.jar IMQ_HOME/lib/ext
The following command creates a symbolic link instead:
ln -s /opt/SUNWhadb/4/lib/hadbjdbc4.jar IMQ_HOME/lib/ext
Create the database schema needed for Message Queue persistence.
Use the imqdbmgr create all command (for an embedded database) or the imqdbmgr create tbl command (for an external database); see Database Manager Utility.
You can display information about a JDBC-based data store using the Database Manager utility (imqdbmgr) as follows:
Change to the directory where the Database Manager utility resides, depending on how Message Queue was installed:
IPS packages: cd IMQ_HOME/bin
Solaris SVR4 packages: cd /usr/bin
Linux RPM packages: cd /opt/sun/mq/bin
Enter the imqdbmgr command:
imqdbmgr query
The output should resemble the following
dbmgr query [04/Oct/2005:15:30:20 PDT] Using plugged-in persistent store: version=400 brokerid=Mozart1756 database connection url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@Xhome:1521:mqdb database user=scott Running in standalone mode. Database tables have already been created.
The persistent data store can contain, among other information, message files that are being temporarily stored. Since these messages may contain proprietary information, it is important to secure the data store against unauthorized access. This section describes how to secure data in a JDBC-based data store.
A broker using JDBC-based persistence writes persistent data to a JDBC-compliant database. For a database managed by a database server (such as Oracle), it is recommended that you create a user name and password to access the Message Queue database tables (tables whose names start with MQ). If the database does not allow individual tables to be protected, create a dedicated database to be used only by Message Queue brokers. See the documentation provided by your database vendor for information on how to create user name/password access.
The user name and password required to open a database connection by a broker can be provided as broker configuration properties. However it is more secure to provide them as command line options when starting up the broker, using the imqbrokerd command's -dbuserand -dbpassword options (see Broker Utility).
For an embedded database that is accessed directly by the broker by means of the database's JDBC driver, security is usually provided by setting file permissions on the directory where the persistent data will be stored, as described above under Securing a File-Based Data Store To ensure that the database is readable and writable by both the broker and the Database Manager utility, however, both should be run by the same user.

Mayor's Office
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) has received a report of a human case of West Nile Virus in rural Lancaster County, the first in 2012. Recent surveillance activities conducted by LLCHD staff have also found several positive mosquito pools for the West Nile Virus.
"Although it is not unusual to have mosquitoes infected with the West Nile Virus this time of year, the extremely hot weather over the last several months may significantly increase the risk," said John Chess, Water Quality Program Supervisor. "Even though there are fewer mosquitoes than normal, they are more likely to have West Nile, so protecting yourself is very important."
Humans can be infected with the West Nile Virus after being bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus. LLCHD encourages the public to take the following steps to prevent bites:
The Health Department is asking for the public to help reduce the breeding areas for mosquitoes by eliminating standing pools of water in your yard. That includes clearing debris, weeds and litter from drainage ways; removing vegetation from sewage lagoons; storing containers where they cannot collect water; and filling low spots in your yard.
More information can be found at health.lincoln.ne.gov.

Misconceptions About iOS Multitasking/
There is one iOS "tip" that I keep hearing and it is wrong. Worse, I keep hearing it from supposedly authoritative sources. I have even heard it from the lips of Apple "Geniuses" in stores.
Here is the advice - and remember it is wrong:
All those apps in the multitasking bar on your iOS device are currently active and slowing it down, filling the device's memory or using up your battery. To maximise performance and battery life, you should kill them all manually.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. There are caveats to this but anyone dispensing the advice above is clearly uninformed enough that they will certainly not be aware of these subtleties.
Let me be as clear as I can be: the iOS multitasking bar does not contain "a list of all running apps". It contains "a list of recently used apps". The user never has to manage background tasks on iOS.
Except in a few cases, which I'll explain, the apps that appear in the multitasking bar are not currently running. When you press the home button, iOS will tell the app to quit. In almost all cases, it quits, it stops using CPU time (and hence battery) and the memory it was using is eventually recovered if required.
Let's get technical: iOS apps have five states of execution. These are:
- Not running - the app has been terminated or has not been launched.
- Inactive - the app is in the foreground but not receiving events (for example, the user has locked the device with the app active)
- Active - the normal state of "in use" for an app
- Background - the app is no longer on-screen but is still executing code
- Suspended - the app is still resident in memory but is not executing code
Active and Inactive are not interesting for this discussion. Most of the confusion is around what happens as an app goes from Active to Background to Suspended to Not Running.
When you press the home button, the app moves from Active to Background. Most apps usually then go from Background to Suspended in a matter of seconds.
The first technical caveat is that Suspended apps remain in the device's memory. This is so they can resume more quickly when you go back to them. They're not using processor time and they're not sucking battery power.
You may think that, if an app is resident in memory, you have to somehow remove it to conserve memory. You don't because iOS does it for you. If there are Suspended apps lying around and you launch a memory-intensive app such as a big game, iOS will start to purge Suspended apps and move them to the Not Running state. That is, they will be completely removed from memory and will launch afresh the next time you tap their icon.
Where some people get confused is this: all of the above has no impact on what you see in the multitasking bar. The multitasking bar always shows a list of recently used apps, regardless of whether they're in the Background, Suspended or Not Running states. You may also have noticed that the app that is currently Active does not appear in the multitasking bar.
Background Tasks
When an app is sent to the Background, it usually moves to the Suspended state in a few seconds. An app can request an extension to this by declaring that it's starting a "background task".
A good example is an app that downloads largish files from the web such as Instacast, my favourite podcast app. When Instacast is Active, it can start to download new podcasts. If I then hit the home button on my iPhone, Instacast gets five seconds to run in the Background state and then it's Suspended. That interrupts the download of my podcasts, which might take 5 minutes or more.
iOS allows Instacast to declare that a download is a "background task". This allows Instacast an extra period of background running after I hit the home button to complete the podcast download. While apps can request additional Background time, that time is not infinitely long. The app gets about 10 minutes of Background running time and then it is forcibly suspended by iOS. Again, you don't have to worry about this yourself.
Indefinite Background Running
All apps get 5 seconds of Background running. Some apps can request a 10-minute extension. There are a small number of apps that genuinely need to run indefinitely in the background and iOS allows this.
There are exactly five kinds of apps allowed to run indefinitely in the Background state in iOS 5:
- Apps that play audio while in the Background state. A good example is Instacast while it's playing a podcast.
- Apps that track your location in the Background. For example, you still want voice prompts from your TomTom navigation app, even if another app is Active.
- Apps that listen for incoming VOIP calls. If you use Skype on iOS, you can receive incoming Skype calls while the app is in the Background.
- Newsstand apps that are downloading new content.
- Apps that receive continuous updates from an external accessory in the Background.
All well-written apps in the above categories should become Suspended when they are no longer performing the task in hand. When Instacast finishes playing a podcast, it should be Suspended. There are some built-in apps that also run continuously in the background on iOS - the most-used one is probably Mail.
As long as these apps are running in the Background state, they will consume memory, CPU time and power. In general, though, you would know that you were using such apps. The developer has to declare which category of Background running they require and part of the App Store review process is to check that these declarations are not being abused.
I said earlier that "the user never has to manage Background tasks on iOS". The only exception to this is when one of these Background-running apps goes berserk and will not terminate properly. That, however, is an exceptional situation and not a normal part of being an iOS user.
Let me wrap this up by giving you a quick summary:
- If someone tells you that all the apps in the multitasking bar are running, using up memory or sucking power, they are wrong.
- When you hit the home button, an app moves from Active to Background and quickly to the Suspended state where it no longer uses CPU time or drains power.
- An app may request an additional 10 minutes of Background running to complete a big task before becoming Suspended.
- If memory is becoming scarce, iOS will automatically move Suspended apps into the Not Running state and reclaim their memory.
- Five classes of apps - audio, GPS, VOIP, Newsstand and accessory apps - and some built-in apps such as Mail may run indefinitely in the background until they complete their task.
Put simply: you do not have to manage background tasks on iOS. The system handles almost every case for you and well written audio, GPS, VOIP, Newsstand and accessory apps will handle the rest.

A few weeks ago, Hubs and I spent a Sunday afternoon tearing out the decking for our old house front porch. The porch has been sagging forever and featured prominently on our to-do list for several years. However, as usual, the farm had been eating up every one of Hubs' spare minutes. I was excited that he had finally found time that day, and eagerly loaded the sections of rotting, old flooring into the back of the pickup as Hubs cut them out. It soon became apparent that this wasn't just a quick job. Under the porch, framing and supports were also rotten or non-existent. Basically, my rocking chairs might as well have been held up by butterfly wings. Fixing the porch correctly would be a big job.
As (bad) luck would have it, the temperatures decided to soar that first week of porch renovation. A heat index of at least 110 degrees was the norm. It was miserable in the sweltering heat, but I tried to help the best I could with the project. This is when one of my biggest fears reared its ugly head --my fear of heights.
Don't laugh. I know that it doesn't seem like replacing my porch floor should have anything to do with feeling all wobbly and jittery, but it did. Hubs glided back and forth over the exposed joists like a gymnast on a balance beam. I, on the other hand, was paralyzed with fear even though I was only 3 feet off the ground. I was chicken. Bwuck. Bwuck. Bwuck.
This chicken lunged from one point to another grasping whatever I could to hold on. I should be glad that I had control of the camera to document this renovation project, and there are no shots of me with fear in my eyes (or shots of me with hurt and anger in my eyes...but that is another story). I was a chicken, but I did what I could to keep the project moving. Ultimately, a beautifully solid floor is in place, has been sanded, and has one coat of stain. I am waiting for the humidity to allow the stain to dry enough for another coat...and praying that the painter dude shows up soon to finish the (overdue since last year's hail storm) repainting of the rest of the house. This chicken felt the heat and (kinda) rose to the occasion.
Chicken that also feels a little heat and more than rises to almost any occasion is Chipotle Chicken with Creamed Spinach. This smokey chicken dish is originally from Rick Bayless and has the perfect amount of heat. It is special enough to be a "for company" dish, but easy enough to grace a weeknight table. We love serving it with crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce, and leftovers are fabulous for lunch the next day. I am not chicken to have Chipotle Chicken with Creamed Spinach On My Plate.
(adapted from Rick Bayless)
3 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups whipping cream
4 medium boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup chicken stock
10-12 cups baby spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine the chopped canned chipotles with 1/2 cup of the cream in a Ziplock bag.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal and refrigerate for several hours. (The longer you marinate, the more the chiles season the chicken.)
After marinating, preheat the broiler.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish just large enough to hold them comfortably.
Set 6 inches below a very hot broiler and cook until richly brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Turn the chicken over, drizzle the remaining cream around them and return to the broiler.
Cook until the chicken is deep golden and no longer squishy feeling when lightly pressed, 4 to 5 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to 4 warm dinner plates and keep warm in a low oven.
Scrape the cream mixture into a large saucepan and add the broth and the spinach.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring nearly constantly, until the spinach is wilted and the cream is reduced and thick, about 3 minutes.
Season with salt, then spoon around the chicken breasts to serve.

Ray Thornburg remembers what it was like to walk up to a construction site and get hired on the spot.
"Nowadays you can't do that because they don't speak English," said Thornburg, who has worked construction for 30 years.
He said he encouraged his nephew to find work on Summerville construction sites a couple years ago.
"But he couldn't, because he didn't know Spanish," added Thornburg. "You go to the job sites around here, and you'll see in every single crew, the concrete people, the sheet rockers, they are all foreigners."
Recently he asked a large construction company owner about a superintendent's position.
"He said, 'Do you speak Spanish?' I said I do speak a little. Then he said, 'You wouldn't work for what we pay.'"
Because of these experiences Thornburg hopes South Carolina will continue to use the federal E-verify program to check for worker's legal immigration status.
He acknowledges that not all Hispanics on construction sites are here illegally and says he has no objections to them personally or culturally.
"My only concern is jobs for Americans and the burden on our infrastructure," said the Lowcountry man.
"Americans used to do that kind of work, but it's hard to compete ... if they've got people who are working under the table, and if they can pay everybody $8 an hour and they all live in one trailer."
Thornburg's convictions illustrate the often muddy sentiments that drive the state debate. Further complicating things: His experience is the opposite of what is unfolding in the agricultural sector, where some farmers say they can't find people to do the field work.
They are just two sides of the state's illegal immigration debate, which flared up nationally twice in the last week.
On Oct. 31 U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan, a Republican who represents South Carolina's 3rd congressional district, created a storm after comparing the issue to "taking the door off the hinges and allowing any kind of vagrant, or animal, or just somebody that's hungry, or somebody that wants to do your dishes for you, to come in."
It was the same day the U.S. Department of Justice challenged the state's controversial new law, which goes into effect in January.
Under Act 69, police officers must check an individual's immigration status during an arrest for a non-immigration crime, if the officer suspects the person is undocumented. The law also creates a special Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit.
A coalition of civil rights groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, have also challenged the law, in part, alleging that it promotes racial profiling.
The Oct. 31 federal challenge says South Carolina's law treads on federal law and will result in the wrongful detainment of foreign visitors, legal immigrants, and U.S. citizens, who cannot readily produce proof. The department also says the state law would divert resources away from high-priority problems, such as terrorism, drugs and gang activity.
South Carolina is one of several states that is clashing with federal law.
Justice officials are reviewing recent immigration-related laws in Utah, Indiana and Georgia, while courts have barred parts of the Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and Indiana laws and temporarily halted Utah's law, according to the justice department.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the spokesman for the S.C. Department of Public Safety said officials were in the process of hiring a supervisor for the new law's Illegal Immigration Enforcement Unit and would then hire officers.
"We're going to go ahead with what the General Assembly told us to do" said Sid Gaulden.
He said the special unit would ultimately need federally-approved training, but there will be a wait that has nothing to do with the U.S. Department of Justice suit.
"Therein lies problem. The Horry County police department has set up its own unit and they've applied for the training ... but they have not had a chance to do it yet. So we're in line."

California Lutheran University to Launch Veterans Entrepreneurship Institute/
CLU starts vets entrepreneurship program
University increases emphasis on job-creating skills
California Lutheran University is launching a Veterans Entrepreneurship Institute in January as part of an increased emphasis on preparing people to create their own business opportunities.
Nelson Pizarro, an assistant professor of entrepreneurship in CLU's School of Management, will lead 10 three-hour Saturday workshops for military veterans. Each of the 20 participants in the pilot program will receive a full scholarship, with partial funding coming from a Ventura Country Community Foundation grant.
Pizarro, who founded six companies and has conducted business in 46 countries, will help veterans to build on the discipline, commitment and leadership they developed through military service. New skills such as entrepreneurial thinking will help participants to either start their own businesses or improve their prospects in the job market. Each participant will create a product or service during the course.
The program is part of a new emphasis on entrepreneurship at CLU driven by School of Management Dean Gerhard Apfelthaler. It has resulted in the addition of faculty, curricula and programs.
Under Pizarro's guidance, a student entrepreneurship club has formed and started organizing events. The School of Management revived its free Entrepreneur Roundtable lecture series for the public this summer, and Pizarro has started a new professional mentor program. Apfelthaler is starting a seed fund for students and alumni to test their concepts and an accelerator fund to help launch tested ideas. The university plans to launch an incubation facility in Westlake Village in 2014.
Pizarro has developed three new courses for the entrepreneurship track in the MBA program. One of the classes, which covers entrepreneurial thinking, will also be offered for undergraduate students in all disciplines.
Bill Gartner, a new faculty member and one of the most-cited scholars on entrepreneurship, will begin teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in new-venture development in January. He also plans to teach an entrepreneurship course in summer that would be the university's first massive open online course (MOOC). Gartner will work with faculty to integrate entrepreneurial thinking across all disciplines, particularly in the arts and humanities, and organize a summer speaker series. He was formerly the Henry W. Simonsen Chair in Entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California and the director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at Georgetown University.
The deadline to apply for the Veterans Entrepreneurship Institute is Jan. 6. To complete an application, visit callutheran.edu/veterans. For more information, contact Pizarro at 805-493-3371 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Through the Nuovo Milano series, Ettore Sottsass designed a particularly large collection of cutleries. The long drink spoon, with a slightly tapered long handle and a slightly elongated bowl, is an indispensable tool for those who want to prepare a cocktail in an elegant way.
The Nuovo Milano service was designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1987 by revisiting a traditional cutlery model in a contemporary fashion. The objects of this series are characterised by soft and rounded shapes which are extremely pleasing to the touch like those of a stone smoothened by the sea. Nuovo Milano is one of the most complete services in the Alessi catalog, offering a selection of 26 different types of cutleries. It is made of stainless steel and created from Sottsass's desire to design all the objects necessary for a "Beautiful Table"; this collection of cutleries is a typical contemporary design, approved by XV Premio Compasso d'Oro.VIEW THE COMPLETE RANGE
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.

Bibi Maldonado has heard quite a bit of music coming out of Orange County.
Bibi Maldonado has heard quite a bit of music coming out of Orange County.
Sunday she will throw the inaugural Middiebuzz Local Talent Showcase at Party Zone USA right over the Middletown border in the Town of Wallkill, and there she'll present a variety of the music she's heard.
The story goes back three years, when Maldonado created Middiebuzz, a Web site devoted to promoting entertainment centered on Middletown and environs. In three years she has interviewed a number of artists and bands, creating a television program featured on Time Warner Cable Channel 23. But now she needs help funding the show, which is admittedly do-it-yourself. Some of the artists she has featured on her show will perform Sunday.
"It's been a three year process of getting to know the bands, getting to know the scene evolve," Maldonado said. "Not just Middletown but Orange County. ... I'm hoping it can shed a positive light on Middletown."
The Orange County music scene burns with a number of hot bands and artists. A blues scene stirred by bands like the Reddan Brothers have opened the doors for hungry younger guitar-wielding musicians. A punk movement led by kids in the Warwick area has ignited a fuse from the Tuscan Cafe up to Sounds Asylum. And a loud and lethal metal scene has spread, filled with devoted bands prepared to make a leap.
"I thought it was a bunch of noise," said Maldonado about her experience with metal before meeting the Orange County scene. "But if you get these artists, you see what they're doing — they're polite, some of them are even shy — they give it their all. They put so much effort into what they're doing."
Sunday's show will feature metal, especially from headliners Through the Flood, a Middletown band that recently released an EP titled "Save Yourself." Alternative outfit AsmarA will join, as will rappers such as Gunz (An American Poet) and Evan Coles. Opening will be Ammo Without a Gun, which blends Southern soul and roots with charming R&B slither and folk solitude.
Point is: These musicians are good. They're honing their craft at the New York School of Music in Walden, learning on the job at Sounds Asylum and the Tuscan, or at Noble Coffee Roasters or the Wherehouse. And they're all attempting to break it big. And Maldonado is there to listen.
"It's almost a personal relationship," she said. "I enjoy what I do."

Convention tribute a last hurrah for Kennedy generation
WASHINGTON — Chances are that Monday's tribute to Sen. Edward Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention will end with a clip of his pledge to the 1980 convention: "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
For many, however, once the last Kennedy brother leaves the American political stage, the hope and the dream will live a little less vigorously.
"The dream will endure as a legacy to the Kennedys," said Richard Reeves, the author of 'President Kennedy: Profile of Power.' "But it is just that today, a dream. It's not the reality of American politics."
Kennedy is being treated for a malignant brain tumor, which means that this could be the last time that a Kennedy of his generation addresses a Democratic convention.
The 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat taped a five-minute video message recently at his Cape Cod home to be shown at the Denver gathering. But, said Frank Mankiewicz, a top adviser to Robert Kennedy, "I have a feeling he could be there."
Whether he appears or not, the hall will see and sense a coda to one of the enduring political sagas of the past half-century.
The family has been omnipresent in Democratic politics since John Kennedy's insurgent vice-presidential bid electrified the 1956 convention. He lost, but the strength shown by the first-term, 39-year-old senator vaulted him to national prominence.
From that moment on, Kennedys provided eye-watering moments at Democratic conventions that few other American politicians could match, albeit moments that didn't always benefit the larger Democratic cause.
Lyndon Johnson's forces were said to be piqued in 1964 when, on the night of LBJ's convention acceptance speech, delegates gave Robert Kennedy a 16-minute ovation before watching a film tribute to his slain brother.
Four years later, convention delegates stopped fighting each other over Vietnam long enough to watch "Robert Kennedy Remembered," a Richard Burton-narrated Charles Guggenheim film about the assassinated senator. Delegates stood and cheered for five minutes, then sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
"The only moment of conciliation at that convention was the tribute to Bob," recalled John Seigenthaler, a former aide to Robert Kennedy. The divided party nominated Vice President Hubert Humphrey and never really healed that year; Humphrey lost to Richard Nixon.
Even at the 1980 convention, though it was clear that Ted Kennedy had lost his bid to wrest the nomination from incumbent President Jimmy Carter, he dominated the proceedings. His forces led a bitter two-day platform fight that resulted in Kennedy getting the party to adopt his $12 billion recession-fighting plan. He also got a 40-minute ovation on the second night with his "dream will never die" speech. Carter lost the election to Ronald Reagan.
While the Kennedys kept a grip on the soul of the party, they often left the faithful with an image problem. They were derided by Republicans, comedians and party moderates as out-of-touch liberals, and the brothers were branded as playboys or worse.
"I don't think many Republicans would want their kids to get in the car with Senator Kennedy," said David Carney, former White House political director for President George H. W. Bush.
A 1969 incident shaped Ted Kennedy's image for years. He drove his car off a bridge into the water on the Massachusetts island of Chappaquiddick. Passenger Mary Jo Kopechne, a 28-year-old campaign worker, was trapped in the car and drowned. Kennedy left the accident scene, waited hours before telling police and a week later went on national television to explain his actions.
He later pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury, and got a two-month suspended sentence.
After his 1980 White House bid, Ted Kennedy returned to the Senate and became known as a master of compromise, forging a reputation as a fighter for his causes. Universal health care, stronger educational standards, tax breaks for the less wealthy and unwavering support for labor became his hallmarks.
Sen. Barack Obama is in many ways the successor to those dreams. Ted Kennedy endorsed him early in the primary season, and Caroline Kennedy, President Kennedy's daughter, is on Obama's vice presidential selection team.
Still, the Democratic presidential candidate must tiptoe across a political tightrope. The Kennedys help him tap into an important, passionate political constituency, not to mention the money and expertise their network brings.
"There is a resonance with the Kennedys that motivates people to act on the basis of compassion," Seigenthaler said.
But in some circles, the Kennedys remain political anachronisms, liberals long ago shorn of their charisma.
The evidence: Efforts by Kennedy children and relatives to win political races have languished, other than congressional seats with strong, sympathetic New England Democratic constituencies.
In 2002, Robert's daughter Kathleen Kennedy Townsend became the first Democrat to lose a race for the governorship of Maryland in 36 years. In Massachusetts, Joe Kennedy, Robert's son, has declined several times to run for governor; in 1997, he dropped his bid saying personal and family problems were hurting his candidacy.
Monday, the analysts say, Democrats must leave the audience remembering Ted Kennedy as not only the last lion of liberalism, but also a man whose hope will outlive him.
Reeves also said that once Ted Kennedy is gone, it's inevitable that his convictions and compassion will lose their most ardent champion.
The Kennedys were, he said, "a continuation of a certain way of viewing government. They tried to keep breathing life into the New Deal. Ted Kennedy carries that on.
"The great senators stand for something, and they stay a long time and get things done. Ted Kennedy didn't change."

I am new to FBTB and recently back into Legos after a 25+ year hiatus! My wife and I put together some Lego sets with our nieces and nephew and had an absolute blast! Forgot how much fun it was. We ended up getting several more sets and I decided to collect all of the parts needed for a 10179 Falcon.
I got most of the parts on Brick Link and a few on eBay over a period of 1 month. It was challenging to find parts for a reasonable price and shipping. I ended up getting the radar dish from a seller in Poland. I made color changes based on recommendations I saw in another forum for the interior. Some of the Technic bricks were switched to black including the Yellow 90 pieces. All of the parts outside including the dish will be original color except for the boat rigging over the engines. It may take me a while to put it together, but I have been told not to leave the dinning room table this way for too long

Hi everyone, this is my Freebie Friday post a few days late, I could not get access to my blog last week, hence the reason for the delay.
I have been making some shrink plastic gift tags for part of a mini swap, I then decided to wrap them in a small gift bag and designed this gift tag topper to finish off.
The tags can be downloaded for free, just right click and save to your computer, print off and fold on the white line and staple to your cellophane bags at the top.
In my next post I will show how I made the cute gift tags using shrink plastic, I can't show them now because it will spoil the surprise for my partner in the mini swap.
Edited : You can now see the tutorial for the shrink plastic gift tags in my next post here
Update re Mother's accident.
Thankyou so much for all of the kind comments left for Mother, they were all really appreciated.
She is finally coming home on Wednesday of this week, yay!!! We were quite worried at one point but she is now on the mend. Mother is camera shy but here is a photo of her fractured wrist including bruises! She is temporarily walking with a frame until her hip is properly mended and there will be carers looking after her for 6 weeks but at least she is coming home, which I am truly relieved about.
Stitching news.
I have just sent a mini quilt for the mini swap,I am also working on a stitchery design at the moment to make a framed picture and I have been crocheting some squares for my first crochet cushion which should be finished soon.
Happy stitching,
until next time!

The National Labor Relations Board ruled on Tuesday that graduate students who work as teaching and research assistants at private universities are entitled to unionize.
The Board said the decision reverses a 2004 ruling that concluded workers were not entitled to collective bargaining because they were students at the universities, according to Inside Higher Ed.
The ruling came from a case involving a bid by the United Auto Workers to organize graduate students at Columbia University.
"The board has the statutory authority to treat student assistants as statutory employees, where they perform work, at the direction of the university, for which they are compensated. Statutory coverage is permitted by virtue of an employment relationship; it is not foreclosed by the existence of some other, additional relationship that the [National Labor Relations] Act does not reach," says the decision.

Telling children
Depending on the age of your children, it might be difficult to know how or what to tell your children about your cancer diagnosis, treatment or prognosis. Even so, it's important to be honest with children because:
- They will know something is wrong anyway.
- Children may imagine the worst if they are not told otherwise.
- Children can feel isolated or anxious if they aren't told about what is happening around them.
- They may feel betrayed or stop trusting you if they hear the news from someone else.
- If you pretend that everything is fine, children may feel that they have to keep their worries to themselves. They may not be able to tell you how they feel.
How to tell children about cancer
- Choose a time to talk when you're feeling calm. You may want to practise or role-play what you want to say with a partner, relative or friend.
- Try to have another adult present. That way, children will know that there are other adults they can talk to who will support them. If you have a partner, try to talk to children together. If you're a single parent, you could ask a close relative or friend to be there. A social worker, nurse or doctor may also be able to help with difficult discussions or help answer questions about cancer and treatment.
- Consider having separate discussions if the children are far apart in age or have very different personalities. You can make sure that each child has the time and place to listen and ask questions.
- Try to find out what your children know about cancer and where they learned about it.
- Be prepared to repeat the information, perhaps many times.
- Keep checking that children understand what you are saying.
- Be honest and open, even if the news isn't good. This helps maintain trust and keeps the lines of communication open.
- Give children time and the chance to ask questions and express their feelings.
What to tell children about cancer
You will be the best judge of how much your child will understand about the situation. In general, children need to know at least enough to be prepared for changes to their routine and day-to-day life.
- Tell them some basic information, such as the name of the cancer, the body part it affects, the treatment and its possible side effects. Try to use terms that children will understand. For example say "doctor" instead of "oncologist" or "medicine" instead of "chemotherapy."
- Be clear and direct and open to talking about your cancer. Don't create a feeling that cancer should be a secret by whispering or using terms like "the big C."
- Reassure children that they cannot "catch" cancer from you.
- Tell children that nothing they did caused the cancer. Children, especially younger children, may worry that the cancer is their fault or happened because they did something wrong.
- Reassure them that you will let them know what is happening and if anything changes.
- Let them know that they can come with you to see the cancer treatment centre and meet your healthcare team. They may say they don't want to go, but at least they will know that you are open to sharing your cancer journey with them.
- Explain to children how their lives might change. Kids thrive on routine. Cancer treatment can disrupt those routines, so it is important to prepare them for possible changes to school, chores or other activities.
- Don't be afraid to tell children about your feelings, if you want to. It may help them express their own feelings.
- Tell children how much you love them.
- Be optimistic – there are lots of new treatments and reasons to be hopeful.
Also try to tell other adults in your children's lives (teachers, coaches and relatives) about what's going on. These adults may help maintain your children's routines, as well as listen to their feelings and concerns. They can tell you about any problems that your children may have at school or other activities.
If children ask about death
You may want to prepare yourself to talk about death in case your children ask about it. Many kids may think about it, but do not ask. What you tell children about death will depend on many things, including the type of cancer you have, how easy it is to treat, the stage of the cancer and what the doctor has told you.
It's important to let children know that you're willing to tell them the truth and that you'll keep talking to them as you get more information. You could say:
- "I don't know what will happen in the future, so let's think about what's going on right now. I promise that I will tell you when I find out new information. I want you to ask me any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them."
- "The doctors have told me that my chances of getting better are very good. I believe them and I want you to believe them too. I'll tell you if that changes."
- "Sometimes people do die from cancer. I don't think that will happen to me because the doctors have told me that they have very good treatments these days."
- "I don't know what is going to happen right now. I'll know more after the first treatments are finished. I will tell you then."
- "My cancer is treatable and my doctors are doing everything to help me get better."
We realize that our efforts cannot even be compared to what women face when they hear the words ... 'you have cancer.'

One of the most often misquoted facts about our brain is that we only use 10 percent of it. The original quote, from over 100 years ago, stated "the brain is so complex we only know what 10 percent of it is used for."
Wearable Sensing's technology aims to change this perception by expanding scientists' understanding of the inner workings of the human brain.
Wearable Sensing manufactures and sells wearable, wireless, and dry sensor EEG brain activity monitoring systems. This technology, which was developed at San Diego-based Quantum Applied Science and Research (QUASAR), enables research grade EEG recording in real-world environments. From improving athletic performance for Red Bull professional surfers to mind-controlling robotic arms for arm wrestling to understanding traumatic brain injury in soldiers, Wearable Sensing's monitoring systems have numerous applications.
As a San Diego-based company, Wearable Sensing is in one of the leading regions worldwide for the convergence of healthcare and wireless technology. Regional institutions and companies, such as UC San Diego, are creating products and devices that are changing the way healthcare is managed and distributed to patients.
"San Diego is a world leader in wireless telecommunications and one of the world leaders in the life sciences," said Rob McCray, president & CEO at Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance and a MetroConnect Prize judge, in an interview with KPBS. "We are putting tools that enable people to take better care of their own health and even provide management of their health care."
It is because of small- and medium-sized companies that San Diego's life sciences industry ranks fourth in the U.S. The success of these firms is critical to the region's future, and increasing their global reach is crucial to that success. Through the MetroConnect Prize, made possible by JPMorgan Chase, companies such as Wearable Sensing received $10,000 grants to assist with their next step in going global.
"We receive inquiries from academic researchers and companies all around the world due to the reputation of our sensors," said Walid Soussou, president at Wearable Sensing. "We see international distribution as key to our growth strategy."
Wearable Sensing plans to spend the funding towards completing the necessary steps to receive the CE mark certification. Following the certification, the company will target the European market for expansion. It is currently developing opportunities in Latin America and will further develop contacts in the Asian market.

New Slavery: Commodification of Prisoners
State governments seek cash from selling prisons to private corporations because they can no longer afford to run them. The environment of vengeance and "get tough†posturing on crime that pervaded the U.S. political environment in the 1980s removed judicial discretion with three-strike laws and mandatory minimum sentences, and converted misdemeanors into felonies.
[Witness To Justice]
Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) has just made $250 million available to buy state prisons, and launched a marketing effort in 48 states to encourage governors to contract for their management. CCA is asking for 20 year contracts with assured occupancy rates of 90%.
State governments seek cash from selling prisons to private corporations because they can no longer afford to run them. The environment of vengeance and "get tough" posturing on crime that pervaded the U.S. political environment in the 1980s removed judicial discretion with three-strike laws and mandatory minimum sentences, and converted misdemeanors into felonies.
The result has been mass incarceration. The U.S. imprisons 2.3 million adults and holds millions more on probation or parole. Our judicial system controls 1 in every 32 adults in our country. Our incarceration rates exceed those of every other nation.
Money runs the show. Once people are charged with crimes, the economic burden is such that 90% take plea bargains and never go before a jury. It gives me pause that the people we put in prison are our poorest, and that most of them leave behind children who are only further buried in poverty and dysfunction.
Even more disturbing is the solitary confinement, which has become an integral practice in U.S. prisons. Today, 44 states and the U.S. government operate prisons entirely dedicated to isolation.
An estimated 80,000 inmates are housed in single rooms, some without windows, for 23 hours a day and an hour alone in an outdoor cage, with only limited interactions with guards. Intended for the worst of the worst, solitary confinement is now ordered for minor infractions, and is routine for the mentally ill, who are vastly overrepresented in prisons and whose conditions are only made worse by it.
Solitary confinement can last weeks, years, or decades, despite its permanent and devastating damage and its international recognition as torture. The ACLU and the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture have appeared before the UN Human Rights Council to call for a review of rampant solitary confinement in U.S. prisons.
Isolation offers no pretense of rehabilitation, and results in increased violence and despair. And now prisoners who were sentenced to long terms in the 1980s are coming out.
Ironically, in the face of economic hardships, prison administrators are reviewing the cost effectiveness of solitary confinement and harsh sentencing. They are finding that socialization, education, alternative sentences and rehabilitative programs are far more effective and tremendously cheaper. They are also safer for communities of return.
Our prisons are broken. We need to fix them. It is time for their effectiveness to be examined in the light of day. We need to see the actual costs of harsh punishment and mass incarceration. We need to understand that rehabilitation is not only humane, but effective and cost-efficient. We are called to a system of justice that offers a possibility of redemption, and that treats inmates with decency and respect.
Our prisons are broken. Do we sell them to the highest bidder for fast cash, and guarantee 90% occupancy? Or do we stand up for restitution, rehabilitation, and the restoration of the public good?

Madden's 11 kills helped the Crimson to a 3-0 victory in the regular season finale (Ben Barnhart).
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The Harvard men's volleyball team capped off its regular season on Saturday with a straight set victory at Sacred Heart, securing the Crimson the third seed in next weekend's EIVA Tournament. The victory came by set scores of 25-19, 25-16 and 25-23.
Harvard (17-7, 10-4 EIVA) was led by Nick Madden who turned in 11 kills, a .550 hitting percentage and seven digs. DJ White chipped in nine kills and five digs with Branden Clemens contributing seven kills while hitting .583. Rob Lothman recorded 29 assists while guiding the Crimson to a .432 hitting percentage, marking the fourth time this season that Harvard has hit above .400 for a match
Sacred Heart (4-19, 2-12 EIVA) was limited to .111 hitting thanks in part to a six-block performance from Caleb Zimmick. Lothman added four blocks. The Pioneers were paced by Brad Borsay who totaled 10 kills.
The Crimson will now face George Mason in a rematch of last year's EIVA semifinals Thursday, April 25 at University Park, Pa. Top-seeded Penn State will face fourth-seeded Princeton in the second semifinal matchup.
Harvard fell behind to open the match, 14-9, but rallied to go on top 23-18 as part of a 7-0 run. The Pioneers committed five errors during the stretch as Zimmick teamed with Clemens and Lothman for a pair of blocks. The junior middle blocker registered back-to-back kills to earn set point, 25-19.
It was all Crimson in the second set at Harvard stormed out to a 14-9 advantage. A pair of kills by Clemens helped the team to the five-point edge, and an ace by Madden made it an eight-point game, 23-15. Zimmick came up with yet another block to give the Crimson a chance at set point, and an error by Sacred Heart on the next play put the frame away, 25-16.
The third set was tight the entire way with the teams finding themselves tied at 18-18. A kill by Michael Owen and a block by Lothamn and Zimmick helped give Harvard a three-point margin, 21-18, but the Pioneers came right back to tie the set at 21-21. Tied at 23-23, Madden notched his final kill of the afternoon and an error by the hosts gave the Crimson match point, 25-23.
