It was great to get reacquainted with Portland. Apart from a quick overnight trip about 15 years ago, I had not visited since the 1970s and 80s with most of my time then spent around the harbour and foreshore. The town really has not changed, but now, compared to when I was a pre-teen on Sunday afternoon outings, I have a greater appreciation of Portland's history.
It did turn out that some of those Sunday afternoon outings were to witness events that are now ingrained in the history of Portland. At one time, around 1979, we drove from Hamilton to Portland just to see a live sheep export ship! Sounds boring, and it probably was for an 11-year-old, but a storm was brewing. The following months, into 1980 saw protests, black banned transport companies, and disgruntled meat process workers from the local Borthwicks abattoir. The issue was the talk of the Western District and beyond, at a time when the Western District "rode on the sheep's back".
Another visit was to see the ongoing construction of the Alcoa plant, now a familiar fixture on Portland's landscape. Construction began in 1981 and smelting began in 1986. The arrival of Alcoa was a milestone in Portland's history, offering employment and growth.
Over a series of posts, I will share some of what we saw on our recent visit, including the early architecture of Portland, the Cape Nelson Lighthouse, Bridgewater, and the Old Portland cemetery.
It will be a busy month. As well as school holidays and extra "real" work for me, there will be a January Passing of the Pioneers and I will be joining my fellow geneabloggers for the Australia Day 2012 blog: Wealth for Toil. I also will be posting my family's stories, which is really why I'm here. I just get a bit sidetracked. I will share the stories of Sarah and Walter Harman, two more of the children of Joseph and Sarah Harman. I am already looking forward to February when school returns, so I can have a rest!
Just to give you a taste of what is to come, this a photo I took of the Cape Nelson Lighthouse Keeper's cottage.

Today's News: Our Take - Is American Idol Still Relevant in Season 12?
No amount of shiny hype, format tweaks or new judges can change the fact that American Idol is entering its 12th season when it premieres on Wednesday at 8/7c on Fox.
As the elder statesman of reality singing competitions, Idol no longer has the sheen of innovation it once had. In fact, with a market so glutted with similar shows, the programs rarely surprise viewers who have become inured to all the variations.
PHOTOS: Golden Globes 2013: Red carpet hits and misses
But is surprise essential for continued success? Or is Idol's tried-and-true formula still relevant to today's viewers and contestants? To watch or not to watch? That is the question TVGuide.com examines as Idol enters the twilight of its tween years:
New Blood
Watch: With the introduction of superstar Mariah Carey, country star Keith Urban and hip-hop/rap star Nicki Minaj to the judging panel this season, the show increases its cachet (Carey), genre diversity (Urban, Minaj) and kookiness (Carey, Minaj) in one go. "I think what you're seeing now is this panel has reinvigorated the show," said Fox's President of Alternative Entertainment Mike Darnell at the winter TV previews. "It's become a very tough place to get through to Hollywood because this panel is... really discerning. .. and I think that's going to hike it up." Idol also widens its audition pool by sending out buses to smaller towns and through the "I Nominate" process.
Not Watch: The judges' table has seen so much turnover, we can't help but wonder if those who have vacated the post saw the writing on the wall. Much has been made of the so-called feud between Carey and Minaj to the point where it seems the show has shifted its focus from making stars to the stars it already has. As for the auditioners, there are still as many (if not more) bad singers as ever.
Popular Genre Representation
Watch: Idol has had success with the best-selling pop and country genres, the latter of which has become more mainstream with artists like Idol champs Carrie Underwood and Scotty McCreery. Adding Urban to the mix brings a greater understanding of country music. "[Idol] has always had a huge country audience as well," said Urban. "I lived in Nashville for 20 years, and it's always had a big country viewership.
Not Watch: Sorry, rap and hip-hop artists. Idol isn't your ticket to stardom. "I definitely don't think a rapper should be in this competition," said Minaj. "For some reason, the hip-hop community wants you to be credible. They want to know that you really went through a certain thing in your life. This is different. ... If you're really looking for people to believe you and see you as an authentic rapper, you wouldn't do it." Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe added, "I believe rap is an artform in itself more akin to poetry, more akin to drama, if you will. ... Hip-hop is a way of life. It isn't a genre in truth in American Idol."
Winter TV: Where we left off and what's next
Watch: Idol is still the leading reality competition show of its kind. In the Season 11 finale, it drew 21.49 million viewers, far exceeding the numbers of its competitors' most recent season finales: The X Factor (9.65 million), The Voice (12.28 million) and America's Got Talent (10.59 million)
Not Watch: That said, Idol numbers have steadily decreased over the past 11 seasons and is down approximately 25 percent from the Season 10 finale. Gone are the days of 35-plus million viewers. "There are too many of these shows on the air, probably, and they're all taking each other down a little bit," observed Darnell. "Literally every one of the shows, including The Voice, went down about 18 to 20 percent."
Watch: Idol is still the only show of its kind that has created successful, recognizable stars. Kelly Clarkson and Underwood have become household names, and altogether the previous 11 winners have sold over 200 million records. Last year's champ Phillip Phillips went triple platinum with his coronation song "Home." "He's one of the few artists that sold that many records last year; probably only him and Adele that did that well," said Lythgoe. Non-winners such as Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee have also parlayed their Idol experience into acting gigs on Dreamgirls and Smash, respectively.
Not Watch: Is the American dream that Idol is selling only available to a certain type of singer? Young female voters have been blamed for the past five seasons of white, male winners. Viewers have despaired of this perceived stranglehold on the results, which creates a disturbing homogeneity for a show that is supposed to represent the country. "We've had a real spate of what's been called 'white boy with guitar,'" Lythgoe admitted. "But I think we all agree and the judges will say, that the girls are pretty strong this year. It isn't always about the voice; it is about charisma, it is about personality, it is about attracting an audience and doing that week on week."
So, what will it be? Will you tune into American Idol this season or put it out to pasture?
American Idol airs its two-part premiere Wednesday and Thursday at 8/7c on Fox.

Not just a pretty face, NueVue cases are the best phone sanitizer product on the market. Our cases contain an innovative microfibre lining that keeps your iPhone snug, whilst also eliminating viruses including the horrendous Corona strains and bacteria from your device in seconds, and works at full strength for the lifetime of the case. Eliminating bacteria from the device surface helps to prevent the spread of illness, blemish-causing dirt and scratches on your screen and keeping your phone sterilized throughout the day.
No need for wipes - the lining also wipes away unsightly marks from the screen that can cause eyestrain, fatigue, and headaches with every swipe.
An anti-static effect within the microfibre also averts electrical charges that can cause damage to your iPhone or iPad without you knowing.
Research has proven that dirty, greasy screens cause eyestrain, blurry vision, red tired eyes and headaches. Nearly 70% of adults experience digital eyestrain.
All it takes with our unique microfiber blended lining, is one easy slide, to clean the screen every time you slide the device in and out of the case. Any regular use of the NueVue cleaning case helps to reduce the amount of smudges and fingerprints you get on your screen with use.
NueVue is a lot more effective than rubbing your phone on a sleeve or carrying a cloth, and it avoids scratches or damaging Apple's Oleophobic screen coating. Also, a dirty screen is just plain ugly!

Bacteria and Viruses are all around us, some keep us healthy, while others make us sick, such as norovirus, E. coli and salmonella which can live on phones for days and cause tummy upsets, sore throats, jawline spots, acne and worse. So, you don't want them getting from your hands to iPhone, then straight into your mouth.
NueVue cases are infused with the same antibacterial technology the world's leading hospitals use, to keep us safe and protected and works every time you use your device, eliminating harmful germs and viruses including Corona Family strains in seconds.
How We Clean Dirt and Grease from The Screen.
How the cleaning works is quite intriguing and you may not fully appreciated that under a microscope, the iPhone or iPad glass surface isn't really that flat at all, it's full of crevasses and craters just like the moon's surface. In fact, just a touch of science, if it wasn't the grease would just slide off the screen. So, our tiny tiny fibres needed to be small enough to get inside these craters, to seek out and mop-up the grease and dirt like little moon buggy dirt sweepers. Fascinating!
How We Destroy Nasties Breeding.
We knew our blend of cleaning microfibre was the best, so only the best in antibacterial protection was ever going to be good enough. Little did we know, at the time, but this was going to be made from our partner, the market leader of antibacterial additives, and happens to have its HQ about 50 miles away from us in Coventry, UK. and have helped in suppling the prefect additive that we infuse into every fibre of our lining, perhaps unsurprisingly, the same technology that hospitals employ to keep us safe.
You're not going to see the antibacterial additive destroying the little nasties, so let me tell you a tiny bit about how it works.
How Keeping You Safe from Bacteria and Viruses Works.
Firstly, in very simple terms, our additive is like a chemical lance that damages the bacteria cell wall (membrane) and once it's pierced the cell cannot reproduce; withers and dies. There's more, like causing cell protein and oxidative damage and DNA interference – but "destroying the cells wall so that it dies" is good enough for us mere mortals!
The additive in the lining starts to destroy the bacteria the second it touches the iPhone or iPads surface, and is independent laboratory certified to destroy 99.9%.
Not only that, the antibacterial function works at 100% strength for the life of the case.
There's no dilution, no leaching or transfer of the additive to the iPhone or iPad.
Just pure 100% protection every minute of the day, forever!

Our cases antimicrobial formula has been independently laboratory tested and proven to effective in deactivating multi-Coronavirus strains, common seasonal influenzas, bacteria, MRSA and many other related illnesses.
In our latest coronavirus tests, a safer for human, surrogate feline strain of the coronavirus family, named Munich, was employed.
This strain and Covid-19* both share the same "spiked crown-like" that the virus uses on its surface for attachment. Disruption this protein layer deactivates the virus rendering it unable to infect.
NueVue cases disinfect your device 100% of the time it is in the case which helps to mitigate the transfer of germs in between washing your hands.
*(COVID-19 is stored in the highest-grade government BSL-Level 4 facilities, and therefore not available for public commercial testing at this time in the epidemic, hence the use of a surrogate virus from the same family).
Based on the evidence available we would expect our cases to be effective against the Covid-19 strain.

We pick up bacteria and viruses everywhere, the World Health Organization have reported that 80% of pathogens are spread by hand.

The Washington Nationals racing presidents were spotted today at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston, waiting for the Capitals to finish so they could do a little presidential ice skating themselves.
The presidents were rehearsing for Sunday's presidents race on ice during a hockey game between the New York Islanders and the Ottawa Senators at New York's Nassau Coliseum.
The Nationals have been hush-hush about the presidents practice schedule, but the Washington Post's Mark Giannotto was at Kettler and captured the moment on his cell phone.

The next "resume" present what I have done some years ago. Actually, I am dedicated only on research different ways to improve technology on education. Over the last decade or so, I have specialized in the development of training courses for both government, industry and educational institution in the constant race to take full advantage of technologies, which advance in "Internet time". Every course is designed for a specific audience and a specific goal and lenguage, Gamification intrigues me. It's the way to engage my cliente's employees into learning the latest round of training that they're not always sure that they want to work at learning. I believe on peer to peer collaboration and doing some work with peeragogy.org as well as participating on international study group and researcher. I think there is a huge gap between the theory and practice, in my case, as a consultant I have created my own company knowing the day to day business activity and training needs that have been created over these years, so, what I have taught has first implemented, giving my courses a plus, in which theory and practice have been linked. On the other hand, right now, I think one of the big challenges for my school, Social Media College, is to provide employees, managers, students and teachers of minimum digital skills in order to compete in the labor market on equal conditions and growing as digital citizens. I currently spend my time alternately between Siena, Italy and the Spanish Alcarria where I find the peace and solitude to carry out my project planning and develop my eLearning platforms and tailered courses, studing and writting. I'm a born traveller and being small is a great advantage in fitting into modern ultra-compact airline seats whether my clients are in Europe or the Americas.

One of the world's biggest producers of liquefied natural gas has been hit by a malware attack that has taken down its website and e-mail servers. This is the second documented computer attack to hit a large energy company this month.
Officials with Qatar-based RasGas first identified an "unknown virus" on Monday and took their RasGas.com website and e-mail servers offline in response, Bloomberg News and other news agencies reported on Thursday morning, citing company representatives. Operational systems weren't affected and production and deliveries remain intact. A joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil, RasGas exports about 36.3 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year.
News of the attack comes four days after Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil producer, confirmed it was the victim of a separate malware attack that took down 30,000 workstations. The assault against the Saudi Arabia-based company was launched on August 15 as the malware entered through its network of personal computers. Oil production wasn't affected, company officials have said.
The attacks come as security researchers are tracking a malware campaign directed at unspecified companies in the energy industry. "Shamoon," as the trojan has been dubbed, wreaks havoc on its victims by attempting to permanently wipe the hard drives of the computers it infects and prevents them from restarting. In a blog post, Symantec researchers said that the Shamoon malware, which also goes by the name "Disttrack," struck at least one unnamed company in the energy industry.
A separate advisory by Israel-based Seculert said that Shamoon attacked "several specific companies in a few industries." The Seculert post went on to say the wiping function was only one of two stages found in the malware. Company researchers speculate the disk erasure may have been put in place to remove traces of the other action, which may have been surveillance or data theft.
So far, there's no confirmation that Shamoon is the same malware that struck either RasGas or Saudi Aramco.
"Usually, targeted attacks are being used against companies at the same vertical," Seculert CTO Aviv Raff wrote in an e-mail to Ars. "So it is not surprising to see such an attack against another company in the oil and energy industry. I believe that if it's indeed the same attack, they are probably using this to cover their tracks of the actual intended action against RasGas."
He said a non-disclosure agreement bars him from naming the companies affected or identifying their industries.
Based on the information that is publicly available, the attacks on RasGas and Saudi Aramco appear to be major inconveniences rather than catastrophic events. Assuming that's truly the case, the unsung heroes are the engineers who separated e-mail and Web servers from critical energy production and delivery systems. With confirmation of attacks against two of the world's biggest energy producers, it's worth investigating how and if all companies in this industry are designing their systems to withstand such campaigns.

I have just this very instant completed reading "The Hemlock Cup". Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life, by Bettany Hughes a splendid portrait of a man, an extremely documented and detailed description of a society and an marvellous representation of an epoch.
I have greatly admired, perusing its pages, the endeavour and conscientiousness with which the author has assembled countless pieces of information of different nature and sources (historical, philological, literary, archaeological etc.) in order to converge towards a unexpectedly brilliant portrayal of the man considered the father of modern western thought.
In truth many events concerning Socrates' existence are wrapped in a veil of uncertainty, thus compelling Ms. Hughes' serious philological background unavoidably to prevail and as a consequence to consciously and frankly infer a few facts. Nevertheless the narration never lowers its rhythm, on the contrary: continuous chronicled references on Athenian daily life and actual allusions on museum and archaeological sites spur the imagination and the time-travel experience of any – even the one not initially enthusiast – reader.
It is also true that there are many Socrates' scholars and biographers, which most likely have dissected any possible historical and philosophical aspect of Socrates' life and death; yet the book offers an original and multifaceted portraiture of Socrates' times and society enriched with indirect and sometimes anecdotal information about his shoddy demeanour and inquisitive attitude, and delivers us a closer view of the "human being" instead of the unreachable puzzling Greek philosopher.
Now I cannot refrain wondering a renown and yet recurrent paramount question: how could Athens, such a highly praised civilisation – probably the very incarnation of Western Golden Age – accuse and sentence to death its most prominent mind and eminent son? Athens, the cradle of the same philosophy which has dominated sciences, arts, politics and life at least until the Middle Age and still influences modern thought; the mother and model of democracy, implementing any possible device to involve and include as many citizens as possible in active political life and to avert bribery and enticement – and the eulogy could go on and on…
In this regard Alexis de Tocqueville in 1840 bluntly concluded that:
Athènes, avec son suffrage universel, n'était donc, après tout, qu'une république aristocratique où tous les nobles avaient un droit égal au gouvernement. [De la démocratie en Amérique, Tome Deuxième, Chap. XV]
More harshly George Bernanos, in 1942, thus accused the French collaborationists, considering that elite culpable of betraying the French loyal spirit and code of honour:
En parlant ainsi je me moque de scandaliser les esprits faibles qui opposent aux réalités des mots déjà dangereusement vidés de leur substance, comme par exemple celui de Démocratie
La Démocratie est la forme politique du Capitalisme, dans le même sens que l'âme est la Forme du corps selon Aristote, ou son Idée, selon Spinoza. [Lettre aux Anglais, Atlantica editora, Rio de Janeiro 1942].
But way before XIX or XX century even Plato, already in his days – not too far from those of the death of his mentor – identifies the very root of the question, when he allows his fictional Socrates to unveil it by quoting an ironical parody of the legendary self-celebrating Pericles' epitaph for the dead soldiers of the Peloponnesian War (in Plato's dialogue fictitiously ghost-written by Aspasia, Pericles' mistress):
…ἐπιμνησθῆναι. πολιτεία γὰρ τροφὴ ἀνθρώπων ἐστίν, καλὴ μὲν ἀγαθῶν, ἡ δὲ ἐναντία κακῶν. ὡς οὖν ἐν καλῇ πολιτείᾳ ἐτράφησαν οἱ πρόσθεν ἡμῶν, ἀναγκαῖον δηλῶσαι, δι' ἣν δὴ κἀκεῖνοι ἀγαθοὶ καὶ οἱ νῦν εἰσιν, ὧν οἵδε τυγχάνουσιν ὄντες οἱ τετελευτηκότες. ἡ γὰρ αὐτὴ πολιτεία καὶ τότε ἦν καὶ νῦν, ἀριστοκρατία, ἐν ᾗ νῦν τε πολιτευόμεθα καὶ τὸν ἀεὶ χρόνον ἐξ ἐκείνου ὡς τὰ πολλά. καλεῖ δὲ ὁ μὲν αὐτὴν [d] δημοκρατίαν, ὁ δὲ ἄλλο, ᾧ ἂν χαίρῃ, ἔστι δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μετ' εὐδοξίας πλήθους ἀριστοκρατία. βασιλῆς μὲν γὰρ ἀεὶ ἡμῖν εἰσιν· οὗτοι δὲ τοτὲ μὲν ἐκ γένους, τοτὲ δὲ αἱρετοί· ἐγκρατὲς δὲ τῆς πόλεως τὰ πολλὰ τὸ πλῆθος, τὰς δὲ ἀρχὰς δίδωσι καὶ κράτος τοῖς ἀεὶ δόξασιν ἀρίστοις εἶναι, καὶ οὔτε ἀσθενείᾳ οὔτε πενίᾳ οὔτ' ἀγνωσίᾳ πατέρων ἀπελήλαται οὐδεὶς οὐδὲ τοῖς ἐναντίοις τετίμηται, ὥσπερ ἐν ἄλλαις πόλεσιν, ἀλλὰ εἷς ὅρος, ὁ δόξας σοφὸς ἢ ἀγαθὸς εἶναι κρατεῖ καὶ ἄρχει. [ΣΩΚΡΑΤΗΣ ΜΕΝΕΞΕΝΟΣ, 238, c,d]
For a polity is a thing which nurtures men, good men when it is noble, bad men when it is base. It is necessary, then, to demonstrate that the polity wherein our forefathers were nurtured was a noble one, such as caused goodness not only in them but also in their descendants of the present age, amongst whom we number these men who are fallen. For it is the same polity which existed then and exists now, under which polity we are living now and have been living ever since that age with hardly a break. One man calls it "democracy," another man, according to his fancy, gives it some other name; but it is, in very truth, [d] an "aristocracy" backed by popular approbation. Kings we always have; but these are at one time hereditary, at another selected by vote. And while the most part of civic affairs are in the control of the populace, they hand over the posts of government and the power to those who from time to time are deemed to be the best men; and no man is debarred by his weakness or poverty or by the obscurity of his parentage, or promoted because of the opposite qualities, as is the case in other States. On the contrary, the one principle of selection is this: the man that is deemed to be wise or good rules and governs.
Thus the enthusiasts of Athenian democracy have often failed, purposely or naively, to envisage the clearly distinguishable components and facets of an oligarchy of very few wealthy families, of which the rest of citizens (the vast majority, poor and illiterate) were easy preys; a sect of professional politicians/orators ruling the city slyly and untouched; an economic elite purporting an actual form of modern proto-imperialism over the Aegean Sea by means of a self-celebrating fame, violence and taxation to the benefit of a self-preserving authority.
It appears that the unconditional laudator temporis acti approach towards ancient Athens tends, still nowadays, to disregard the side effects even of the best democracy: its step-sister demagogy – perhaps the true responsible of Socrates' death.

With Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers arriving at Nationals Park tonight for another free T-Shirt Tuesday, Nationals fans are holding out hope that the homestand which begins today can help erase their painful memories of the last two home series in which the Nationals were dominated by the Mets and Rockies.
In today's Washington Post, film critic and author Stephen Hunter writes about the pain and disappointment of following a losing team. Calling himself "an expert on baseball hurt," Hunter argues that baseball is "just a toothache," and the only way to cope is to learn to hate. Choosing the object of that hate is the beginning of the mission.
While Orioles fans have a ready-made villain in owner Peter Angelos, it's not so obvious for Nationals fans. With no history, no curses, and no larger-than-life monstrous personalities to target, Hunter has concluded that Nationals fans must find something else to hate passionately, and his target of choice is the presidents race.
Hunter calls the team's racing presidents "charmless, awkward, silly, sexless and pointless," and is encouraging Nationals fans to channel their frustrations by nurturing vitriol against Teddy and his endless quest for victory.
I've always enjoyed Stephen Hunter's writing, but on this point, I think he is deluded by his years of baggage as an Orioles fan. Hunter argues that hatred gives baseball fans purpose and a mission. I'm all for hating the Mets and Phillies, but do we need to hate our own team? A small pocket of presidents race haters has shown up here in the comments and on "About Me" page. What do you think?

Company Profile of Eberhard Göbel GmbH+Co KGSince 1919 the Eberhard Göbel family has been developing special umbrellas with new product features adequate to the outstanding quality of materials. The long-standing philosophy of our company which is still family-owned includes functional design, latest materials and perfect workmanship.
How the umbrella is reinvented
For sports and leisure purposes, we select high grade and lightweight composite fibreglass materials, lightweight and resistant metal alloys and the latest fabrics to offer the customers really innovative, contemporary products. The company has improved nearly every functional part of the umbrellas and there is no comparison to ordinary standard umbrellas. Many tools are unique and many details are patented or patents are pending. Mainly in the sports world the company is known as the most innovative manufacturer of modern sports umbrellas. Users appreciate the functional design, the remarkable sturdiness, the corrosion resistance and the low weight.
Renaissance of sports umbrellas
Göbel's own brands BIRDIEPAL and EUROSCHIRM with their outstanding quality and top design stand for profound economical success. Thanks to the company, for several years EUROSCHIRM trekking umbrellas have been seen increasingly often as a special equipment accessory of active people in the European Alps, the Rocky Mountains, the Himalaya and many other mountain and hiking areas . Mountain guides of various associations and famous mountaineers use their Euroschirm umbrellas in their daily work. The same is noticed on golf courses worldwide, where the BIRDIEPAL golf umbrella range is used by and meets the high expectations of ambitious golfers as well as professionals. The German Golf Association DGV and major international golf companies are equipped with products of this range or they purchase their products from BIRDIEPAL as original equipment with individual branding.
Wide range of umbrellas
Eberhard Göbel's product range is completed by the lifestyle segment. The most traditional design, highest workmanship and materials are found in the CLASSIC LINE. Many luxury watch companies like Breitling, Hublot, Omega, etc. trust in the reliable service of the umbrella manufacturer and choose their customer gifts from the sophisticated standard stock or develop umbrellas corresponding to their CI together with Eberhard Göbel's design department. Furthermore Eberhard Göbel also develops and manufactures umbrellas for premium car companies such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Maybach, etc. If more luxury is required, gents' and ladies' umbrellas are also available with most precious metals, exotic leathers, selected woods in individual configurations. These high end products are currently introduced to the market and named BRILLIANT LINE.

This weekend should draw huge crowds at Nationals Park starting with tonight's game against the Chicago Cubs, and the warm weather plus some well-timed heroics by Felipe Lopez may be just the thing the Nationals needed to spark a turnaround. This is a long homestand, and Nationals fans have probably started to figure out that the Metro's continuing fear campaign about Nationals Park has no basis in fact.
The Nats Express continues to be a smooth and easy free option for parking at Nationals Park (even on Saturday when DC United will be playing at RFK), and with the Nationals having also announced the availability of cash parking near the park for home games, I may give it a try tonight, just to report on how smoothly it goes. By all accounts, the $15.00 lot is a short, safe, well-lit walk from the park.
With the weather turning warm, I hope to see all of you who've been ordering Let Teddy Win! t-shirts to show up and show your support for our favorite president. After each race, the presidents reach the finish line near the Nationals dugout, then head up the aisle by section 127. Wear your shirts tonight and join us in the aisle at the bottom of section 128 with a "Let Teddy Win" cheer in middle of the 4th inning!

Not so long ago, kosher sausages were not all they could have been, not by far, but they were all that was available. Now, with choices like Pomegranate Supermarket (1507 Coney Island Avenue – corner of Avenue L – Brooklyn, New York 11230; Tel: 718.951.7112) sausages or Jack's Gourmet Kosher Sausages (here, here, here, etc..), the kosher palate can delight in a plethora of incredible flavors.
Sausages with Mustard Mashed Potatoes
(Adapted from 365 Ways to Cook – published by Firefly Books)
Serves 4
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
- 8 Sausages (I used Jack's Gourmet Kosher Sweet Italian Sausages, but any other of their selections will do as well).
- 2 onions, cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 apples cored and cut into wedges
- 3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons chicken stock
For the mustard mash
- 2 pounds potatoes, quartered and scrubbed
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1-2 tablespoons whole grain mustard (I used Coleman's)
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 large bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
- dash of olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Put the potatoes into a large saucepan of cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes, until tender.
- Meanwhile, fry or grill the sausages over medium heat for 10 minutes, turning them to get an even color. Add the onion and apple wedges and cook with the sausages for 6-7 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes well. When they are cool enough to touch , peel them, then mash well so they are nice and creamy. Add the margarine, mustard, garlic and a good sprinkling of salt and pepper to the potatoes and continue mashing. Taste and add more mustard if you want. Stir in the the parsley and olive oil.
- Transfer the sausages, onion and apple to a serving plate. Pour off the excess fat from the pan to leave about 1 tablespoon, then mix in the flour. Gradually stir in the stock, bring to a boil and stir until thickened. Season and strain into a serving dish or pitcher.
- Pile the mashed potatoes up on a plate and stick the sausages and onion wedges on top. Spoon over the gravy and serve.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!

'Despicable Me' tramples 'Lone Ranger' at theaters
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "The Lone Ranger" seems to be riding into the sunset on its debut weekend.
The Disney Western starring Armie Hammer as the titular character and Johnny Depp as Tonto was outpaced 3 to 1 by Universal's "Despicable Me 2," which also opened Wednesday. The animated sequel collected $59.9 million in ticket sales so far, while "The Lone Ranger" earned a paltry $19.5 million.
While Disney is likely to recover based on its other strong offerings this summer, including Pixar's "Monsters University" and Marvel's "Iron Man 3," the masked man's dismal box-office showing may spell trouble for Depp and all but ends any hope for a Lone Ranger franchise.
"This is one and done," said Stuart Oldham, editor of the industry trade site Variety.com. "You're not going to see another Lone Ranger movie after this."
It's a "big disappointment" for Disney, said media and entertainment analyst Martin Pyykkonen of Wedge Partners. Although the film had been set up for a sequel, "it's obviously not even going to come close to covering the production costs," the analyst said.
Years in the making, "Lone Ranger" filming was shut down for weeks in 2011 because of soaring costs that still ended up in the $250-million range.
Poor reviews for the film may have contributed to the sluggish ticket sales. Chicago Sun-Times critic Richard Roeper called it "slick trash," while the AP's Jake Coyle said the two-and-a-half hour spectacle "finally, exhaustingly collapses in a scrap heap of train wreckage."
""The Lone Ranger' is, alas, a runaway train," Coyle writes.
It's a serious misstep for blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and megastar Depp, who partnered profitably on the first three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. Depp's take on Tonto has been compared unfavorably to Captain Jack Sparrow in face paint.
"(The studio thought) if we have Johnny Depp and we transfer him over to another funny hat and call him Tonto, we're going to be OK, but it's not OK," said Gene Del Vecchio, author of "Creating Blockbusters.
Part of the problem, he said, is that children aren't nearly as familiar with the Lone Ranger as they are with the animated characters in "Despicable Me 2" and last week's first-place film, "Monsters University."
"Kids really need to be reintroduced to the Lone Ranger," he said. "Instead, they were introduced to Tonto in the marketing."
The failure of "The Lone Ranger" could impact studio decisions about what to green-light going forward, and not just at Disney.
"From a film-industry standpoint, when you peel back the onion, you're not going to take a big risk on a big-production film that doesn't have a proven franchise," Pyykkonen said, especially in light of other recent bombs including "John Carter," ''Battleship" and "After Earth."
"What's going to take a hit is creativity in Hollywood," Oldham said. "You're going to see more sequels and more remakes after these big bombs."
Pyykkonen said the future of the proven "Pirates" franchise could even be in question.
"There's probably going to be some head-scratching in the Disney film studio board rooms," he said. "Like, 'We've had a few in a row here that didn't win at the box office, do we really want to do a 'Pirates' 5?"

Last year I was working for a customer that was upgrading several AIX 5.3 systems to AIX 6.1. The migrations were successful for the most part, but we did encounter one issue that took a little time to resolve.
The customer was using nimadm to migrate. This process worked fine, however, on a couple of systems a strange error was encountered after the migration. The LPAR was booted into AIX 6.1 and everything came up fine. The applications were started and users started accessing the system.
It was several days later, when the AIX administrator attempted to configure new storage on the AIX system, when the first sign of trouble appeared. He had asked his Storage guy to assign a couple of new disks to his LPAR (via NPIV/VFC). As soon as the Storage admin had completed the assignment, the AIX admin ran cfgmgr to detect and configure the new hdisks. Immediately, cfgmgr reported the following error:
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgscsidisk):
0514-023 The specified device does not exist in the
customized device configuration database.
Initially, the AIX team suspected there was some fault with either the storage device or the zoning of the disk. Both of these items were checked and doubled-checked and were found to be OK. Our next step was to run cfgmgr again, but this time we wanted a greater level of detail captured. To do this we used the following environment variable to force cfgmgr to be 'more verbose'.
# export CFGLOG="cmd,meth,lib,verbosity:9"
We ran cfgmgr and went to the /var/adm/ras/cfglog file to view the results with the alog command. However, we noticed that the cfglog file had a size of zero (0) and contained no data.
# cd /var/adm/ras
# ls –l cfglog
-rw-r----- 1 root system 0 May 16 13:22 cfglog
We decided to recreate the cfglog alog file and run mkdev again to reproduce the disk configuration error.
# rm cfglog
# echo "Create cfglog `date`"|alog -t cfg
# mkdev -l hdisk0
Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgscsidisk):
0514-023 The specified device does not exist in the
customized device configuration database.
This time we found some useful data in the cfglog file.

The configuration method was attempting to configure a disk device type of htcvspmpio (which was correct) but it was unable to configure the device paths (mpio_init error rc=23). We suspected that the system was missing some sort device driver support for the type of storage in use.
Cutting a very long story short, we determined, with the help of the IBM AIX support team, that the issue stemmed from "old" AIX installation media used to create the AIX 6.1 TL6 SP5 SPOT and lppsource on the NIM master. Old AIX 6.1 media was originally used (several years ago) to create the NIM resources and was gradually updated over time, all the way up to TL6 SP5.
IBM support identified that the older install media contained a liblpp.a file that was missing the necessary PdPathAt ODM files. Newer install media contained a fix to add the appropriate entries to the bos.rte.cfgfiles. e.g.
SPOT created using OLD install media.
# ar xv /export/spot/spotaix610605_OLD/usr/lpp/bos/liblpp.a bos.rte.cfgfiles
x - bos.rte.cfgfiles
# grep PdPathAt bos.rte.cfgfiles
SPOT created using NEW install media.
# ar xv /export/spot/spotaix610605_NEW/usr/lpp/bos/liblpp.a bos.rte.cfgfiles
x - bos.rte.cfgfiles
# grep PdPathAt bos.rte.cfgfiles
/usr/lib/objrepos/PdPathAt v4preserve
/usr/lib/objrepos/PdPathAt.vc v4preserve
We recreated the SPOT and lppsource resources using newer media on the NIM master. We were then able to migrate the AIX 5.3 LPAR to 6.1 without encountering the issues faced previously.

At palace, Egypt protesters, police clash
Protesters denouncing Egypt's Islamist president hurled stones and firebombs through the gates of his palace gates on Friday, clashing with security forces who fired tear gas and water cannons, as more than a week of political violence came to Mohammed Morsi's symbolic doorstep for the first time.
The streets outside the presidential palace were a scene of mayhem for hours into the night.
Security forces pumped volley after volley of tear gas, set fire to protester tents and at one point dragged a protester to the ground, stripped him and beat him. Protesters burned tires and hurled stones and fireworks. A 23-year-old died when he was shot in the chest and forehead, the Health Ministry said.
The march on the palace, where Morsi was not present, was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots.
But many of the protesters go further, saying he must be removed from office, accusing his Muslim Brotherhood of monopolizing power and failing to deal with the country's mounting woes. Many have been further angered by Morsi's praise of the security forces after the high death toll, which is widely blamed on excessive use of force by the police.
The day's unrest, however, risked boosting attempts by the government and Brotherhood to taint the opposition as violent and destructive — a tack Morsi supporters have taken for weeks.
In a statement issued amid the clashes, Morsi accused protesters of trying to break ito the palace and said "political fores involved in incitement" are responsible for the violence. He called on all factions to condemn the violence and said security forces would "act decisively to protect state institutions."
A day earlier, the top opposition figures met with the Brotherhood for the first time and agreed on a joint promise to avoid violence. That drew sharp criticism from many anti-Morsi activists who said the politicians had played into the Brotherhood's hands and given legitimacy to any crackdown.
The fighting started when a crowd of several thousand marched to the palace in an upscale district of the capital, chanting, "the people want the fall of the regime," and "leave, leave, Morsi." Security forces allowed them to reach close to the main gate, and some protesters hurled shoes and stones through the fence into the grounds. Some climbed on the fence, apparently to better throw stones, but it did not appear they were breaking in.
At first, police and Republican Guards inside did not respond. But when several firebombs were thrown over the fence, the security forces unleashed water cannons, then tear gas, then riot police descended on the streets outside the palace.
Hours of clashes ensued, with streams of tear gas and stones flying through the air as security forces pushed the protesters back. A particularly heavy volley of dozens of tear gas canisters over a few minutes scattered much of the crowd, fleeing into side streets as riot police pursued and the sound of birdshot being fired echoed. Associated Press footage showed police stripping one protester on the ground and kicking him before dragging him into a van.
The Interior Ministry, in charge of police, later said in a statement that it would investigate the incident, calling it "regrettable and unacceptable."
More than 50 people were hurt during demonstrations around the country, the Health Ministry said.
The turmoil was the first significant violence at the presidential palace in the eight-day wave of protests — though the site was the scene of clashes in November between anti-Morsi protesters and Islamists that left around 10 people dead. But other protests around the country on Friday did not see significant violence.
The unrest is Egypt's worst crisis since the 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak. It was at its worst last weekend, when protests around the country marking the two-year anniversary of the anti-Mubarak uprising turned to clashes in many cities. It further exploded on Saturday, when residents of the Suez Canal city of Port Said rose up in fury over death sentences issued against local residents over a deadly soccer riot a year ago. Around 40 of the deaths in the crisis came in Port Said when security forces reportedly opened fire on protesters, some of whom attacked police facilities.
Morsi, who came into office in June as Egypt's first freely elected president, responded by trying a heavy hand. He imposed a state of emergency and curfews in Port Said and two other Canal cities, which responded with near open revolt. Clashes and protests continued around the country, with anti-Morsi crowds blocking railroad tracks and marching through the streets. The turmoil has only hiked opposition criticism that Morsi, and the Brotherhood, which forms the backbone of his leadership, are unable to manage the country.
Morsi's aides and the Brotherhood, in turn, have accused the opposition of using the streets and condoning violence in an attempt to overturn the results of elections that Islamists have won repeatedly, securing their power.
They have tried to link the political opposition to a group of protesters called the Black Bloc, who wear black masks and have vowed to "defend the revolution." Officials and state media depict them as conspiratorial saboteurs, but the opposition says authorities are using the group as a scapegoat to justify a crackdown.
On Friday, thousands of residents marched through Port Said, located at the Suez Canal's Mediterranean end, pumping their fists and chanting, "Leave, leave, Morsi." They massed around the city's main security headquarters, but no clashes or violence was reported.
"The people want the Republic of Port Said," protesters chanted, voicing a wide sentiment among residents that they are fed up of negligence and mistreatment by central government and that they want to virtual independence.
Egypt's main opposition political grouping, the National Salvation Front, called for Friday's protests, demanding Morsi form a national unity government and amend the constitution. They say the unrest reflects the widespread discontent over Brotherhood attempts to rule alone and keep decision-making in its own hands.
"The policies of the president and the Muslim Brotherhood are pushing the country to the brink," the opposition said in a statement.
But there were signs of splits and confusion in the opposition ranks after leaders of the Front met for the first time with the Brotherhood as part of a dialogue hosted by Egypt's premier Islamic institution, Al-Azhar. The Front had previously refused talks with the Brotherhood until its conditions were met.
With Front leader Mohamed ElBaradei and the deputy leader of the Brotherhood at the same table, the gathering of a spectrum of politicians signed a joint statement denouncing violence.
The statement, known as the Al-Azhar Document, angered some in the anti-Morsi camp. It seemed to focus on violence by protesters with no mention of excessive force by police or the wider political issues.
"Al-Azhar's initiative talks too broadly about violence," a group of 70 activists, liberal politicians, actors and writers said in a statement criticizing the meeting. They said the document gives "political cover to expand the repression, detention, killing and torture by the hands of police for the authority's benefit."
The document "didn't offer solutions but came to give more legitimacy to the existing authority," it added.
Those who attended the Thursday's meeting defended the anti-violence initiative.
"We toppled down Mubarak regime with a peaceful revolution. We insist on achieving the goals the same way whatever the sacrifices and the barbaric suppression tactics," ElBaradei wrote in a tweet.
"No one can say no to an initiative to stop violence," said Ahmed Said, an opposition party leader.

Todd Porter: Walsh impacted game like no one else
Legendary coach Bill Walsh did not invent football. But he did invest in it. Not so much monetarily, but cerebrally. Walsh took a complex game and made it simple. He did what few do. He furthered something that had come such a long way by the time he could make a difference.
That's not easily done.
Bill Walsh was to football what Kasparov was to chess.
Thirty years ago, Jim Tressel found himself in a meeting room at Ohio State. He was an assistant coach at the University of Akron. It was Tressel's start in the coaching business. Woody Hayes invited Tressel to attend a coaching clinic, and Tressel did what good students do.
He sat in the front row, because Bill Walsh was talking offense. He was talking passing game, and he was talking quarterbacks. That afternoon in Columbus might as well have been a four-year coaching degree.
Tressel took meticulous notes. But they weren't good enough.
So the young coach asked for the word-for-word transcript of what Walsh said.
"And I've been using it the last 30 years constantly," Tressel said Monday from Columbus before leaving for the Big Ten media days in Chicago. "You wouldn't believe how many times I refer back to what he said from a teaching standpoint."
Tressel teaches the game the same way Walsh did. Not through fear, through knowledge. Walsh wasn't just great because of the way he advanced football. He was great because of his approach to the game. Football is a thinking man's game.
Walsh died Monday at age 75 after a battle with leukemia. The news scrawl outside the Chicago Tribune can go unnoticed most days. But on a hot and humid day in downtown Chicago, passersby stopped to see the words. They turned to buddies to repeat what they just read. "Bill Walsh dies at 75 ..."
Walsh impacted many football lives. He impacted the game, which is why he is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It is why grown men will gather and tell Bill Walsh stories that last into the wee hours. Their NFL glory days are long gone, but Walsh helped them get to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The branches on Walsh's coaching tree will fill a wing of the Hall of Fame one day. Technically, Mike Shanahan isn't one of those branches. The Denver Broncos head coach never coached under Walsh, though he was the offensive coordinator in San Francisco under Walsh's successor, George Seifert.
Nevertheless, he feels part of his legacy.
"There's no question that he's a great innovator," Shanahan said. "He studied it. He worked at it.
He tweaked with a lot of different things. When you hear the West Coast offense, you're going back to Bill Walsh, and he's the one who started it."
When Paul Brown retired as head coach of the Bengals, the Hall of Fame coach passed over Walsh for the job. Walsh was Brown's quarterback coach in Cincinnati, but Brown fell victim to the popular thought about Walsh back then. No one thought he could motivate his players by fear.
He couldn't. Walsh didn't believe in that. Walsh believed a in motivating by empowering players with knowledge. Think about that.
Who are the best players in the game today? They're the smartest ones.
Earlier this month, USA Today named Joe Montana and Jerry Rice as the two greatest NFL players of all time.
Without Walsh, Montana might not be in Canton.
"Bill Walsh was a great teacher," said Tressel, who used to visit with Walsh when Youngstown native Eddie DeBartolo owned the 49ers and Tressel coached at Youngstown State.
The last time Tressel got to spend a significant amount of time with Walsh was 2000.
Youngstown State traveled to California to play Cal-Poly, and the Penguins flew to San Francisco and practiced at the Niners facility. Tressel asked Walsh to speak to his team.
"There wasn't an eye in there not trained on him," Tressel said.
Including Tressel's.

Quilt Passions
A Piece of Paradise
Quilt Passions in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, benefits from its prime location near the Kailua Pier, a hot spot for tourism on the Big Island. Owners Karen and Robert Barry excel at the balancing act between pleasing tourists and pleasing area residents.
Meet the Staff
Front row, from left: Louise Wagner, Delphine Rubin, Karen Barry (co-owner), Robert Barry (co-owner), and Susan Distel; back row: Catherine Wynne, Annabelle Treacy, Barbara Bieraugel, Tami Robbins, and Barbara Thomas.
Fabric, Yarn, and More
Hawaiian-style appliqué patterns, such as Orchid by Loretta Pasco, are such a big draw at Quilt Passions that the shop offers weekly classes on the technique. Yarns and needlepoint supplies attract knitters, cross-stitchers, and needlepoint fans.
School of Fish
The shop offers ready-made quilts, pillow covers, table runners and wall hangings, including Fish Sampler by Barbara Bieraugel. Batiks, tropical prints, and a large selection of Asian prints line the shelves.
A Touch of the Tropics
Staff member Barbara Bieraugel designed A Touch of the Tropics for Quilt Sampler® Spring/Summer 2011 magazine.
Machine-Quilting Details
Staff member Catherine Wynne machine-echo-quilted around the appliqués and added detail lines in each flower appliqué. She stitched leaves and curling vines in the remaining areas of the quilt center and border.
A Touch of the Tropics Color Option
To determine this color palette, quilt tester Laura Boehnke started with the multicolor paisley, then added coordinating tone-on-tones and prints from the Coraline and Summer Lily collections by Jinny Beyer for RJR fabrics.
