The Phantom is a 1943 15-chapter cliffhanger superhero serial, produced by Rudolph C. Flothow, directed B. Reeves Eason, and starring Tom Tyler in the title role. It is based on Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom, first syndicated to newspapers in 1936 by King Features Syndicate. The serial also features Jeanne Bates as the Phantom's girlfriend Diana Palmer, and Ace the Wonder Dog as the Phantom's trusty German shepherd Devil (who is a wolf in the original comic strip).

Plot summary
Professor Davidson plans an expedition to find the Lost City of Zoloz. The location of the city is contained on seven pieces of ivory, three of which Davidson already possesses. Doctor Bremmer, however, intends to find the lost city and use it as a secret airbase for his unnamed country. To remove him as an obstacle, he kills The Phantom, only for his recently returned son, Geoffrey Prescott, to inherit the family identity and take over the mantle of The Phantom.

Three of the remaining ivory pieces are owned by Singapore Smith, who initially steals Davidson's pieces. The seventh, and most important, piece is missing at first but turns up in the possession of Tartar (which The Phantom acquires by wrestling Tartar's pet gorilla).

Cast
 Tom Tyler as Godffrey Prescott/The Phantom
 Jeanne Bates as Diana Palmer
 Ernie Adams as Rusty
 John S Bagni as Moku
 Frank Shannon as Prof. Davidson
 Kenneth MacDonald as Dr. Max Bremmer
 Joe Devlin as Singapore Smith
 Al Ferguson as Thug (uncredited)

Production
Like most serials, The Phantom had a low budget. Most of the serial was filmed in the Hollywood hills, which doubled as the African jungle.

For the serial, the Phantom's real name is Geoffrey Prescott. In the comic strip, his real name had not yet been introduced. The Phantom's real name was eventually introduced into the comic strip as Kit Walker. The Phantom tells Singapore Smith to call him "Walker" when he covers his costume with a hat, dark glasses, and an overcoat so he can enter civilization unobtrusively.

Release
The serial was released as a double-disc DVD by VCI Video in 2001 (reusing the cover box art from their previous VHS release). It featured a commentary track by writer Max Allan Collins (for Chapter One only), as well as other special features, including actor bios, photo gallery, and comic book art gallery.

In 2005 a different DVD edition was released exclusively in Australia. Its special feature is an hour-long conversation between Frew Publications editor-in-chief Jim Shepherd and film historian James Sherlock about the history of the Phantom comic and its various screen adaptations. This was dubbed over the first three chapters of the serial in place of a commentary track.

Much of the dialogue of Chapter 11 had to be re-dubbed by new actors, because the original soundtrack-on-film negative had been damaged by the ravages of time.

Critical reception
According to Jim Harmon and Donald F. Glut: "Unquestionably, The Phantom was one of Columbia's better serials...a task in casting, settings, and mood totally missing in such disasters as Batman from the same studio". In a 2018 retrospective, Martin Pasko contended that "The Phantom has all the problems most serials - Columbia's in particular - did: an implausible script riddled with inane, unplayable dialogue; wretchedly wooden acting; and a budget that rendered ludicrous any attempt to stage believable, much less spectacular, action by today's standards".

Cline wrote that Tyler's characterization, in his last serial role, was more vivid than that in Adventures of Captain Marvel but slightly less memorable. He added that Tyler had an "almost uncanny" resemblance to the comic strip character. However, Pasko said that he "seems old beyond his years, and not at all the vigorous young man who could plausibly do what the script demands of him". Harmon and Glut described him as wooden in his speech and movements, "the Gary Cooper of B films".

Phantom creator Lee Falk disliked the serial, commenting that "it looks like it was shot in a phone booth".

Attempted sequel
In 1955 Columbia Pictures started filming a sequel to The Phantom, this time with John Hart in the lead role (Tom Tyler had died in 1954). The serial was well into production when producer Sam Katzman discovered that Columbia's rights to the character had expired, and owner King Features was unwilling to renew them. Katzman hastily transformed Return of the Phantom into The Adventures of Captain Africa. Despite the legal issues, The Adventures of Captain Africa incorporated a considerable amount of stock footage from the original Phantom series, including footage of Tyler in costume as the Phantom.

Q: MonoMac projects cannot compile: ibtool exited with code 1 - Can't run /Developer/usr/bin/ibtool (no such file) I'm moving my first steps in MonoMac.
But I stopped right at the beginning due to some configuration error. I've created a new ManoMac project in MonoDevelop, and then tried some other sample MonoMac xamarin projects from GitHub, but I always get this error compiling:

Error: Can't run /Developer/usr/bin/ibtool (no such file).
  ibtool exited with code 1

My configuration:
Operating System:
    Mac OS X 10.7.3
MonoDevelop 2.8.6.5
Runtime:
    Mono 2.10.8 (tarball Mon Dec 19 17:43:18 EST 2011)
    GTK 2.24.5
    GTK# (2.12.0.0)
Mono for Android not installed
Apple Developer Tools:
     Xcode 4.3.1 (1176)
     Build 4E1019
Monotouch: 5.2.5
MonoDevelop.MonoMac 2.6.0.0
All my Monotouch projects compile fine, and I have no problem with the last XCode (following the Xamarin guidelines I successfully upgraded XCode and moved it from the obsolete Developer folder to the Application folder, and downloaded the updated developer command line tools from apple).
I've tried reinstalling MonoDevelop, but with no success. I always get: "Error: ibtool returned error code 1."
Any help is appreciated.

A: This problem is caused by the Xcode 4.3 installer not updating the Xcode symlinks correctly to point to the active Xcode version. You can fix it with the following command:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app

This upcoming MonoDevelop 2.8.8 release contains a fix for this. You can get it from the beta update channel.

A: It looks like the MonoMac addin was never updated to work with Xcode 4.3.
A temporary workaraound is to setup symlinks in the proper places in /Developer.
I found the way in the MonoMac forum:
http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/MonoMac-and-XCode-4-3-ibtool-error-Solution-td4403822.html
I report it here:
When using MonoMac and Xcode 4.3, the current MD beta build fails with an ibtool error.
The solutions is to type the following commands in the Terminal console:
sudo rm  /usr/bin/ibtool
and then:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/ibtool /usr/bin/ibtool
Now it compiles fine.

A: I got a similar error running Xamarin on Xcode 6.2 and I solved the problem by re-installing the same version of Xcode again replacing the old version per the suggestion on this post:  xcode-select active developer directory error on OSX Mavericks.
I may have caused this problem as I was renaming XCode Application. I have several versions installed and was trying to keep them all straight.

About Resident Artist Rene Sepulveda
Artist Rene Sepulveda Blog
Congratulations to the new owner of Rene Sepulveda Sculptured Work Titled "Revenge"
by Rene Sepulveda May 20, 2021
Congratulations to the new owner of Rene Sepulveda's creative sculpture titled Revenge. This piece was sold locally and as a commitment to the locals we offer discounts in pricing to local supporters, deeply discounted verses the large galleries of Santa Fe, San Francisco or Palm Springs or online with the larger overhead and issue of shipping expense. If you are interested in Rene Sepulveda selections and are in Southern New Mexico, stop into the 2nd Life Boutique and Fine Arts Gallery at the Roadrunner Emporium and Fine Arts Gallery, 928 New York Avenue, Alamogordo New Mexico. Check out the offers. Congratulations to Bonnie of New Mexico for her purchase of Revenge...
About the Piece: "Revenge"
Artist Rene Sepulveda created this one-of-a-kind nod to the New Mexico high desert and the Valley of the Fires region located near Alamogordo New Mexico. The piece was crafted with 5000-year-old Lava Rock from the Valley of the Fire Lava Flow, combined with recycled metals crafted into an interpretative piece inspired by the artists Native American cultural roots and his appreciation for nature. This piece showcasing the gecko and the ants can be interpreted in a variety of manners. Some people view the gecko on the prowl for the ants, others view the ants in a state of revenge putting the gecko on the defense. What one sees is based upon their own interpretation of the piece. The artists perception is the piece represents the harmony of nature both co-existing in eco-system and beauty amongst the Valley of the Fires Black rock. Each represent beauty on their own as an important element to the beauty of nature. This one-of-a-kind piece titled "Revenge" is a true interpretative abstract fine art selection.
Artist Rene Sepulveda reaches from his Native American Tarahumara tribal roots and creates works of art from 5000-year-old New Mexican Volcanic Lava Rock paired with recycled metals, fallen driftwoods to create art of nature for home, office or outdoor spaces. Highly prized and highly collectable.
Approximately 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak located in Southern New Mexico erupted and flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin, filling the basin with molten rock. The resulting lava flow is four to six miles wide, 160 feet thick and covers 125 square miles. From a distance, the region appears as barren rock but when you visit the nature trails there are many varieties of flowers, cactus, trees, and bushes typical of the Chihuahuan desert. Animals include a variety of desert ants, bugs, bats, roadrunners, quail, cottontails, mule deer, barberry sheep, lizards, great horned owls, burrowing owls, turkey vultures, hawks, gnat catchers, cactus wrens, sparrows, and golden eagles and more.
This collection of works crafted by Artist Rene Sepulveda is inspired by his Tarahumara tribal roots as a tribute to the wildlife, flowers, cactus, and beauty of the region, crafted from recycled lava, woods and metals found from the Tularosa Basin and Sacramento Basin. The molten lava rock is repurposed rock pulled from abandoned homes and abandoned locations; repurposed into a "second life" as an "artistic sculpture" to bring joy and value to the owner of each unique piece.
Artist Rene Sepulveda was introduced to the beauty of natural lava mixed with metal and wooden elements, during his childhood visits to the home of Mr. and Ms. Pack, of Alamogordo, whose exclusive estate was custom built and designed to showcase these unique local elements. Years later Rene Sepulveda has designed this collection in memory of their inspiration.
Each is distinctly different as no two pieces of lava rock are the same. Each is cleaned, treated, sealed, and enhanced to preserve it and the artistic creation for generations of enjoyment. Each comes with an ability to join the artist registry where the details by the artist of each piece of art is maintained with an identifier of its origin from the artist, Rene Sepulveda.

As a graduate of LaRue County Schools, the parent of two graduates and a parent by choice of another, a former member of the LaRue County Board of Education, and a lifelong supporter of our schools, I am sadly disappointed that two recent graduates were not allowed to walk with the Class of 2017 to receive their diplomas.
On April 25 and 29, the 2016-2017 Leadership LaRue class volunteered a few hours of our time to Trash for Cash, which is a government funded activity in which garbage is collected from county roadways and a donation is made to the organization of the volunteer's choice in return. We worked to benefit the LaRue County Chamber of Commerce.
In regards to the alcohol petition circulating in LaRue County, we would like to take the opportunity to express our concerns about the negative impact it would have, should it be allowed by a vote. We are proud to live in a dry city/county and we hope and pray that it will remain that way.
Last Saturday, April 1, Becky's Team participated in the Trash for Cash as a fundraiser for Relay for Life. We cleaned up 10 miles of road littered with everything imaginable, but the sad part of that is 75 to 80% of that trash is recyclable.
There were lots of plastic bottles and aluminum cans along with paper and Styrofoam too. We also found old tires, a mattress and box springs, an old TV and even a couch and loveseat.
On April 1, I was part of a group from South Fork Baptist Church who picked up trash on about 10 miles of back roads in LaRue County, as a fundraiser for our mission trip to Africa.
It is surprising how much trash 10 miles of country roads can collect. How many beer cans can be chunked out windows on these roads, along with juice boxes, soda cans, broken sunglass cases, tobacco cans, and myriad other items.
I am writing to you about our recent participation in the LaRue County Trash for Cash cleanup in the Oak Hill and Maxine communities. This was a great opportunity for our adults and young people to come together, be a part of beautifying areas of our county and raising funds to be used in an upcoming mission trip to New York.
April is Child Abuse awareness month. The Travelers Widows Sons are teaming with SpringHaven, Inc. to host a poker run to help bring awareness and raise proceeds for the children's program at SpringHaven Domestic Violence shelter.
Belinda Burd, SpringHaven's child advocate reached out to the Travelers Widows Sons to ask if they could assist in helping raise awareness and proceeds for the children's program at SpringHaven.
Mt. Moriah Baptist Church took part in the local Trash for Cash as a fundraiser for the June Honduras Mission Trip. From ages 9-66, twenty of us gathered early this past Saturday morning ready to battle on the local roadways.
Armed with gloves, trash bags, grabbers and orange vests, all generously provided as part of the program, we met to clear 10 miles of late night drive thru detritus, and crying in your beer bottle blues.

Bacon and other processed meats are linked to cancer in a report by the World Health Organization on Oct. 26, 2015.
Now that World Health Organization says processed meats cause cancer, what is a bacon lover to do?
Don't panic. But do think about cutting back, says Amy Bragagnini, a clinical oncology dietitian with Mercy Health Saint Mary's.
The WHO's announcement about processed meats - and red meat - is not a surprise to anyone following research of carcinogenic qualities of food. But it does seem to be a much broader look, Bragagnini says.
And it's the first time she has seen a report put a number on the risk involved.
Eating 50 grams of processed meats a day - the equivalent of two to three slices of bacon - increases risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent, according to the report by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Processed meats are classified a "Group 1" carcinogen, which means there is "there is convincing evidence" they cause cancer, the agency says. That puts them in the same category as tobacco and asbestos.
Red meats are classified as "Group 2A," which means there is limited evidence of cancer risk. The association is largely with colorectal cancer, but links also were seen for pancreatic and prostate cancer.
The findings, released Monday, Oct. 26, were drawn from an analysis of 800 studies conducted in many countries, covering populations with diverse diets.
The report is a good reason for individuals to examine red meat and processed meat consumption, said Bragagnini, who works at Lacks Cancer Center in Grand Rapids.
Eliminate them, she advised, "if you aren't going to miss them from your diet."
But for those who love hamburgers and hotdogs, she suggests enjoying them on a limited basis.
Case in point: She never eats red meat, but had two slices of bacon for breakfast last weekend.
"I really, really enjoy bacon," Bragagnini said. "I won't lie."
Still, she suggests look for ways to cut back and to find healthy substitutions. She recently had a vegan burger with tempeh bacon.
"It didn't taste like bacon, but it was delicious," she said.
Bragagnini added that the advice on meat consumption should be considered alongside other recommendations for reducing cancer risk. Exercise regularly, eat more fruits and vegetables and watch saturated fat intake, she advised.
"The overall theme I recommend is balance," she said.
Processed meat is defined in the WHO's report as meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation. Examples include hot dogs, ham, sausages, corned beef, beef jerky, canned meat and meat-based preparations and sauces.
Red meat refers to all "mammalian muscle meat," including, beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse and goat.

Numerical Modelling of Human-Bed Systems
Pullen | October 15, 2015 | The History of Furniture Construction
Studies confirm that pressure in healthy blood vessels of the skin amounts to 32 mmHg (4.3 kPa) and enables proper blood circulation (Krutul 2004). By examining the stresses on muscle tissue, it was found that stresses up to 34.6 kPa lasting for 35 min cause its stiffening, which leads to pressure pain (Gefen et al. 2005). Adverse loads on soft tissues of the human body, caused by lying down on a base that is too hard, can be reduced by proper support of the user's torso using a soft and flexible material.
The conditions of the effect of the base on the human body in a lying down position can be illustrated using numerical calculations, using the algorithm of the finite elements method. Based on the transverse cross-sectional model of the human body, established at the height of the chest (Fig. 8.59), from the atlas of anthropometric characteristics measurements (Gedliczka 2001) the mass and dimensions of a person constituting actual load of the mattress have been determined. For the anatomical model selected in this way, using scanning, a two-dimensional mesh of finite elements was applied. During scanning, it was ensured that individual parts of the human body were covered by various grids, with varying degrees of density, depending on the type of tissue and skeletal system. In the static system, the symmetrical half of the analysed object was assumed for calculations (Fig. 8.60).
Fig. 8.59 Transverse cross section of the chest at shoulder-height (http://www. meddean. luc. edu)
Fig. 8.60 Mesh model reflecting: a the cross section of the human body on a flexible mattress, b the state of stresses in the human-bed system
The created cross-sectional model of the human body was propped up on a flexible mattress, and then it was assigned support bonds enabling vertical shifts. By defining the contact between the mattress and the human body, contact points were identified between the outer surface of the selected cross section of the body and the upper plane of the mattress. It was also assumed that the external load will be caused only by forces of gravity. For individual parts of the human body, the elastic properties provided by Gefen et al. (2005) were assumed and summarised in Table 8.6.
By analysing the contact between the human body and the mattress and the impact of flexibility of the mattress on the values of stresses in the human body,
Table 8.6 Elastic properties of human body parts (Gefen et al. 2005)
Type of tissue
Poisson's ratio
Young's modulus Et (kPa)
Shear modulus Gt (kPa)
Bone tissue
Muscle tissue
Fat tissue
a series of calculations were carried out, respectively, for a representative female, with anthropometric characteristics constituting the scale of the 50th centile (weight 65 kg), as well as the 95th centile (weight 87.8 kg). The results of the numerical calculations were presented in the system az = f(Et/Em), where Et—module of tissue flexibility, Em—module of mattress flexibility, for:
• point A located inside the mattress,
• point B on the contact surface of the body with the mattress, and
• point C inside the human body.
They were also illustrated in Figs. 8.61, 8.62 and 8.63.
It can be concluded from Fig. 8.61 that the stresses inside the mattress decrease together with the reduction of its stiffness. For a user from the 95th centile, stresses inside the mattress are about 22-25 % greater in relation to the stresses caused, in the same places, by a user of the 50th centile.
By analysing the contact stresses in point B (Fig. 8.62) it can be concluded that their value decreases, along with the reduction of the stiffness of the mattress to the value corresponding to the stiffness of human tissue. Then increases together with a clear decrease in the stiffness of the mattress in relation to the stiffness of the tissue.
Et/Em
The smallest stress value, 4.2 kPa for the 50th centile and 5.0 kPa for the 95th centile, was obtained using the proportion E/Em equal to 1.
The changes of stresses shown in Fig. 8.63 in the function of the coefficient EJ Em set out in point C have demonstrated that while lying down on the back, stresses inside the human body increase slightly along with a decrease in stiffness of the mattress. With a 20-fold decrease in the stiffness of the mattress, the stresses inside the human body increased linearly by 6.7 %, thus by 0.34 % for every 20 % in the reduction of stiffness of the mattress. The calculations carried out prove that we obtain the correct stiffness of the spring layer of the mattress if we use materials characteristic of Young's modulus similar or lower than the linear elastic modulus of the human body's soft tissue.

Studies examining risk factors associated with vasovagal reactions (VVRs) during autologous blood donations, especially in younger subjects, have been limited. The aim of the present study was to define risk factors for VVRs during preoperative autologous blood donation in patients, including those younger than 18 years old. We retrospectively analyzed 4192 autologous, preoperative blood donations between 2007 and 2015 at Okayama University Hospital. Eighty-seven (2.08%) of the patients experienced VVRs. VVRs occurred approximately three times as often in patients 0-17 years old (16/320, 5.0%) than in patients 18 years and older (71/3872, 1.8%). In particular, VVRs occurred more frequently in those 10-13 years old, and decreased with older age (P = 0.006). In a univariate analysis, younger age, lower body mass index, lower systolic blood pressure, lower body weight, lower total blood volume, female gender, first-time collection, and higher heart rate were associated with a higher incidence of VVRs. In a multivariate analysis, lower systolic blood pressure (P < 0.001), higher heart rate (P = 0.007), and first-time collection (P = 0.015), remained independent predictors of VVRs. These results emphasize the need for careful attention during blood collection.
OBJECTIVE: CAD-CAM blocks to fabricate semi-direct and indirect restorations are available in different sorts of ceramics as well as composite. In order to bond restorations prepared out of composite blocks into tooth cavities, it is recommended to gently sandblast the surface prior to the application of a primer/adhesive. Today, the effect of sandblasting composite block surfaces has not thoroughly been investigated. In this study, the ultra-structure of composite CAD-CAM blocks was investigated with special attention to the effect of sandblasting on the surface topography and of silanization on the bonding performance. METHODS: Five different composite CAD-CAM blocks were involved. We correlatively investigated their structural and chemical composition using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM). The effect of sandblasting was also imaged in cross-section and at the interface with composite cement. Finally, we measured the shear bond strength to the sandblasted block surface with and without silanization. RESULTS: All composite blocks revealed a different ultra-structure. Sandblasting increased surface roughness and resulted in an irregular surface with some filler exposure. Sandblasting also damaged the surface. When the sandblasted composite blocks were silanized, superior bonding receptiveness in terms of higher bond strength was achieved except for Shofu Block HC. SIGNIFICANCE: Sandblasting followed by silanization improved the bond strength to composite CAD-CAM blocks. However, sandblasting may also damage the composite CAD-CAM block surface. For the composite CAD-CAM block Shofu Block HC, the damage was so severe that silanization did not improve bond strength.
Persistent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection frequently causes hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the mechanisms of HCV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis and disease progression are unclear. Although the human hepatoma cell line, HuH-7, has been widely used as the only cell culture system for robust HCV replication, we recently developed new human hepatoma Li23 cell line-derived OL, OL8, OL11, and OL14 cells, in which genome-length HCV RNA (O strain of genotype 1b) efficiently replicates. OL, OL8, OL11, and OL14 cells were cultured for more than 2 years. We prepared cured cells from OL8 and OL11 cells by interferon-γ treatment. The cured cells were also cultured for more than 2 years. cDNA microarray and RT-PCR analyses were performed using total RNAs prepared from these cells. We first selected several hundred highly or moderately expressed probes, the expression levels of which were upregulated or downregulated at ratios of more than 2 or less than 0.5 in each set of compared cells (e.g., parent OL8 cells versus OL8 cells cultured for 2 years). From among these probes, we next selected those whose expression levels commonly changed during a 2-year culture of genome-length HCV RNA-replicating cells, but which did not change during a 2-year culture period in cured cells. We further examined the expression levels of the selected candidate genes by RT-PCR analysis using additional specimens from the cells cultured for 3.5 years. Reproducibility of the RT-PCR analysis using specimens from recultured cells was also confirmed. Finally, we identified 5 upregulated genes and 4 downregulated genes, the expression levels of which were irreversibly altered during 3.5-year replication of HCV RNA. These genes may play roles in the optimization of the environment in HCV RNA replication, or may play key roles in the progression of HCV-associated hepatic diseases.

Q: Resolve operator conflicts on similar generic types I'm using a third party library (Sauve.IO) which defines the standard bind operator >>= :
 val inline (>>=) : first:('T -> Async<'U option>) -> second:('U -> Async<'V option>) -> input:'T -> Async<'V option>

I also have an internal library that would also like to define the operator over the type signature
Async<Response<'a>> -> ('a -> Async<Response<'b>>) -> Async<Response<'b>>

What is the cleanest way to use these two functions in the same namespace/module without running afoul of the restriction on overloading inline functions ?

A: How about renaming Suave's operator to some other infix operator?
let (>=>) = Suave.(>>=)

Judging from the signature, it looks like it is not bind anyway,
but actually Kleisli composition.

A: You may be able to leverage F#'s statically resolved ad-hoc polymorphism: hide the qualified operator invocation behind a separate, overloaded operator; then define yet another, inlined operator for actual use.
type Foo = Foo with
    static member ($) (_ : Foo, first : _ -> Async<_ option>) =
        fun second value -> Module1.(>>=) first second value
    static member ($) (_ : Foo, arg1 : Async<Response<_>>) =
        Module2.(>>=) arg1

let inline (>>=) arg1 arg2 = (Foo $ arg1) arg2

A: Do both operators have the same name (>>=) ?
If so I assume that Suave's operator came with it's own module or namespace?
In this case you can qualify their operator appending their module/namespace name like this Suave.(>>=) but in this case you have to call it as usual function. Here is simplified example:
module Suave =
    let inline (>>=) a b = a + 2 * b

module Mine =
    open Suave
    let (>>=) a b = a - 3 * b

    let r1 = Suave.(>>=) 1 3
    let r2 = 1 >>= 3

Result:
  val r1 : int = 7
  val r2 : int = -8


An Irish drug dealer killed over a suspected "love triangle" was beaten to death before his body was dumped by a Costa Blanca motorway, it emerged yesterday.
Spanish police found Carl Carr's remains last week – nearly five months after he went missing – arresting four suspects who include at least one British woman and an Irishman.
Investigators have found no sign of gunshot wounds and believe the Dubliner was killed by an acquaintance who suspected him of sleeping with a girlfriend, although the criminal probe is still in its infancy.
Two men and two women who have not been named were remanded in custody on Saturday following a behind-closed-doors court appearance in the town of Torrevieja.
Court sources said they included Carl's suspected killer, an Irishman believed to be in his late 30s who the 38-year-old met after completing an eight-year jail sentence before moving to Spain three years ago.
The other three individuals – a Spanish man and two women whose nationalities have not been disclosed but are understood to be British – are being investigated on suspicion of concealing a crime.
One of the females is also being probed on suspicion of illegal weapons possession.
A third woman remains under investigation but was freed on Saturday after questioning by police and a judge.
Revealing he was last seen at a dance event called Ambiguous in the resort of Cabo Roig near Torrevieja, the British hairdresser begged friends: "Has anybody seen Carl? He's been missing since Saturday.
"Me, his family and friends are going out of our minds with worry.
His body was found buried by the AP-7 motorway between Benijofar and Algorfa, a 20-minute drive north from where the Irishman was last seen.
His heartbroken mum Marie confirmed on Saturday detectives had told her son was the man found.
She said: "The Spanish police have told me his death has nothing to do with drugs.
Court sources have confirmed the ongoing judicial investigation is a murder or homicide probe.
None of the four suspects remanded in custody have yet been charged under Spanish law, as is normal in the country where formal charges are only laid shortly before trial.
The charge they eventually face will depend on the extra information investigators glean from the ongoing probe.
A well-placed court source said: "The case, which is the subject of a secrecy order, remains open for a crime of homicide or murder, concealment and unlawful weapons possession.

Family thanks community for support
Thank you to the entire community, our Berne Union family and beyond, who have been so supportive after the passing of our son, Zack.
The funeral service staged at Berne Union High School was beautiful. A special thank-you to Principal John Parker and the school system for opening the school building for the viewing and the service, and to band director J.D. Latorre and current and past band members for performing on such short notice.
Although Zack no longer is with us and the days and years ahead will be hard for all of us, our memories of Zack and his upbeat attitude will live on forever. May we always remember Zack's interpretation of the last nine lines of the poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant: "Don't worry; everyone dies; don't be upset; live life to the fullest."

Recently I decided to search the speculative micro-cap segment for the next big breakout stock. Of course, there is no guarantee of success in this endeavor, but, as those who go to Vegas would say, it may be worth the gamble. A candidate that surfaced in my stock screens is MAM Software Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MAMS), a small company with a market value of around $107.6 million. MAMS stock has been moving higher, up 21% over the past three months. Next It could be set to stage a multi-year breakout at $9.00. MAM Software markets a "Windows" and cloud-based business management software application used by companies to organize and improve business efficiencies. The past pressure on MAMS stock could be related to the fact that the company's key area of focus is the automotive aftermarket, but MAM Software Group is striving to diversify. MAMS stock was added to the Russell Microcap Index in June 2018, a move that helped attract index funds and institutional investors. A look at the MAM Software stock chart shows the current sideways channel in place for nearly two years. Note the breakout from the previous sideways channel at $7.00 in late 2017. Chart courtesy of StockCharts.com If MAMS stock can continue its recent gains, we could finally see a breakout at $9.00.
MAM Software reports in a fiscal year ending at the end of June. The revenue picture doesn't stand out at first glance, but the company has managed to report higher revenue in three of the past four years, including a four-year high growth rate in fiscal 2018.
(Source: "MAM Software Group Inc.," MarketWatch, last accessed March 25, 2019.) Looking ahead, MAM Software is estimated to record lower revenue growth of 4.8% to $37.5 million in fiscal 2019, followed by growth of 8.9% to $40.9 million in fiscal 2020. (Source: "MAM Software Group, Inc. (MAMS)," Yahoo! Finance, last accessed March 25, 2019.) A big plus is that MAM Software has been generating positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)—as well as generating positive generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) profits. That is encouraging for a company of this size.
(Source: MarketWatch, op cit.) As I said, MAM Software has been delivering GAAP profits without the need for adjustments. We saw earnings growth from fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2017, prior to a mishap in fiscal 2018.
(Source: Ibid.) The next two years look positive, with MAM Software expected to report an adjusted $0.29 per diluted share in fiscal 2019, up from $0.27 per diluted share in fiscal 2018. The company is expected to follow that with $0.31 per diluted share in fiscal 2020. (Source: Yahoo! Finance, op cit.) Another impressive metric for MAMS is the company's positive free cash flow (FCF), which has grown in the past three years straight—and at a higher growth rate than its revenue.
The fundamental picture and expected earnings growth for MAM Software Group support the case for a higher share price. Keep an eye on the $9.00 resistance level. A breakout could vault MAMS stock above $10.00 and establish the next higher trading range.

It has been said, that the Civil Rights movement died with MLK and Malcom. Read any book on Good Leadership, and you'll find that a Truly solid movement is diversified; One person cannot be the 'focus' - instead we All must be the focus.
if Everyone steps up to the plate, if Everyone is involved, Killing One, does not Kill the Movement.

True Terrorist - Skinheads, KKK .... Al Queda? Really?
And we're back.
Some sad news to report first; My heart goes out to the family of Jennifer Hudson; So sorry to hear about the death of her Mother, Brother, and now... her 7 year old Nephew.
May God reach into your life, heal, and bless you.
And .. onto even more 'sad news' - and also, as you've come to expect from me, some Perspective. I just saw this report about a plan to assasinate Barrack Obama... a plot from the Skinheads, who's views mirror that of Nazi Germany's Hitler. ... a group that was spawned FROM the Klu Klux Klan.
When This war on Terrorism was first launched, you could hear Many black people in the community talking about how We have faced Terrorism in this country for Years. Al Queda is NOT and never has been a True Threat to our freedom - Racism has. Hatred from whites, who care nothing for black people, no matter how accomplished we become, is the true threat to freedom of blacks in America - and furthermore, is a true threat to Whites as well.
We're all in this boat together people - whether you like it or not - we MUST work together, as I have been saying for years now, to put a Stop to Racism! We MUST .... It is important that we take the threat posed by racism more seriously than we have, since the Signing of the Civil Rights Bill in the late 1960's.
Since that point, there has been a steady decline, among blacks and whites, in how Serious we take the threat of racism - Too many of us accept it as status quo, as something we can do nothing about; but the truth is, that's a flat out lie.
What if we took the same approach to rooting out Terrorism here in America, as we do in Iraq? How about we bomb all the neighborhoods that are Housing Terrorist Skinheads?
I think that would get people's attention, Fast!
I bet that would encourage more White people to not only stop being racist, but to stop allowing their Sons and Daughters to belong to racist groups, such as the Klan, and Skinheads.
White people, as the "majority" in this nation, hold the Majority of the responsibility to clean this country up. It's time for them to stop being so lazy about it, so irresponsible about it, so uncaring about it, so apathetic ... It's time for White people to do their part.
Before us, stands an opportunity to Truly turn this country around - what Bush has done with our Nation is taking us DOWN - Don't you folks see what's happening? This is not about party politics anymore - this is about the well being of our nation, our country, and all of us, black and white.
Barrack's message is Unity, Change, Coming together, and working to make the changes needed, to make this Country better, again, than any other nation.
You people must know, that when We were a nation of Hypocracy, talking down on Nazi Germany for it's racism, while openly segregating and oppressing blacks, America was not a great nation; We only became great, when we decided to live up to our creed, and provide Equality for All; We Were indeed great, for about 30 years... the last 8 have slowly begun reversing all that has happened -- slowly taking us back to where we came from.
Can't you all see it?
Our Military Resources have been stretched, fighting 2 wars that cannot be won, the way we're fighting them, against people who are NOT a threat to us; If you watched the Zeitgeist Addendum I Posted, 400,000 Americans die from Heart disease vs 70 who die from Terrorism; Heart Disease is a bigger threat to us, than Terrorism is...
True Terrorism, is the fear-mongering brought to us by the Bush Administration - it's not JUST Bush alone people; it's his entire Cabinet, his elected and appointed officials, selected to carry out a purpose - the Falling of the Empire.
And it will happen, if Americans continue to be Silent on issues that truly matter.
Below, read more about this plot broken up... but please keep Barrack in your prayers, and positive thoughts; keep our Country in your prayers and positive thoughts. Hate will NOT allow us to continue, living in the 'greatest country ever'.
ATF disrupts skinhead plot to assassinate Obama
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes Jordan, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON – Federal agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a Tennessee murder spree, the ATF said Monday.
In court records unsealed Monday, federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school by two neo-Nazi skinheads. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.
"They said that would be their last, final act — that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh said. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying."
An Obama spokeswoman traveling with the senator in Pennsylvania had no immediate comment.
The men, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark., are being held without bond. Agents seized a rifle, a sawed-off shotgun and three pistols from the men when they were arrested. Authorities alleged the two men were preparing to break into a gun shop to steal more.
Attorney Joe Byrd, who has been hired to represent Cowart, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday.
Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.
The investigation is continuing, and more charges are possible, Cavanaugh said.

Debating, Sexism, Racism, Politics @ ThaShow
Tonight is the Debate between the Vice Presidential Nominees, Gov. Sarah Palin vs. Senator Joe Biden.
Should be pretty interesting to watch; as one is dumb as a board, and the other is a loose cannon bound to say just about anything.
I wanted to share something, from a local newspaper here in Southern California, "The Wave", specifically from a Column called "Soulvine" where she speaks about Community Organizing, ... my comments follow.
The Soulvine
By BETTY PLEASANT, Contributing Editor
THIGPENN AND OBAMA — Anthony Thigpenn, the founder and executive director of Strategic Concepts in Organizing and Policy Education (SCOPE), is what Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama was — a community organizer. Anthony Thigpenn is what Republican vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin so publicly derided among her reactionary cohorts — a community organizer. She mocked Obama and belittled his work for having been what Anthony Thigpenn is — a community organizer. Palin's performance was a civics textbook example of the difference between the Democratic Party, with its penchant for empowering the people to change their lives, and the Republican Party, with its patronizing philosophy toward the people and its insistence on maintaining the status quo.
Back when the Democrats ran Washington and passed the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act, we in Los Angeles had a whole lot of Obamas and Thigpenns operating throughout the region. Pressed by the urgency of the 1965 Watts Riot, the Neighborhood Adult Participation Project (NAPP) was created to implement the new attitude in the nation that individual residents must organize and actively participate in the political and institutional decisions that affect them. NAPP's mission was to carry out the national mandate to achieve "maximum feasible participation" by residents in those decisions.
NAPP established 22 "outposts" in targeted poverty areas that spanned the Southland from Wilmington to Pacoima and from Venice to Los Nietos. These outposts were manned by hundreds of community organizers who canvassed and cajoled residents into forming groups and attending meetings and forums where they were shown, taught and convinced that, together, they had the power to improve their own lot by making their elected officials respond to their needs — needs as determined by them. NAPP community organizers exhorted residents to assume ownership of themselves.
The goals of NAPP's community organizers were fourfold: "To provide social and psychological benefits to residents, to provide self-help and mutual aid to residents, to increase and make more effective the delivery of services to residents and to achieve institutional change for the permanent benefit of residents." I remember NAPP community organizers well because I worked with them and monitored them and evaluated their efforts and wrote about their successes and their failures.
I knew more about what they were doing than they did. They were doing hard, groundbreaking work that resulted in significant changes in Los Angeles, including the founding of Charles R. Drew University of Medicine, the Martin Luther King Jr. General Hospital, the greatly expanded transportation system in the city, parental participation in the schools, more and better stocked neighborhood markets, routine municipal attention to neighborhood streets and housing standards, creation of pocket parks and much more.
Under the leadership of late Executive Director Opal C. Jones, NAPP's South Los Angeles community organizers, such as the late Abie Robinson and Irene Anderson, and Nola Carter, Hazel Brown, Yvonne King and Lillian Mosley did unprecedented heavy lifting in the neighborhoods for years, as did Mary Henry at the Avalon Carver Community Center, Caffie Green on civic accountability issues in Watts and points south, and the late Marnesba Tackett, who effectively organized residents to desegregate housing throughout the city and throughout the entire public school system. These were community organizers whose passion was to instill power in the people and they did it.
The era of massive community organization ended when Republicans came to power and the emphasis shifted from what the residents needed back to what the politicians wanted, leaving us today with a mere handful of stalwart community organizers, such as Thigpenn and Marqueece Harris-Dawson of Community Coalition and Damien Goodmon, who is organizing community residents around rail safety issues in South L.A.
Councilman Bernard Parks, like Palin, is not a fan of community organizers and he has a mind to evict Thigpenn's SCOPE from its city-owned building for a variety of specious right-wing reasons. He should not be allowed to do this.
There is So much I agree with right there.
Let me start out by saying I generally vote Democratic; although there are some platforms of Democrats that I do Not agree with; While I almost never agree with Republicans... and it seems so obvious to me, that one party is clearly more 'racist' than the other;
There is a saying that The Democrats cripple minorities with their welfare programs, that it's a different kind of oppression, that they are basically the same as the other party -- It's a great arguing point -- convincing for most who are not in the Minority.
But Mrs. Pleasant hits the nail on the head with her comments - While watching the RNC I was often sick to the stomach - I saw Nothing but white people - No asians, NO latin people, and hardly any blacks (I might have seen like 3 total) - What does that say? Does that say Diversity to you? Does that speak of a party that is really appealing to all races?
Odd thing is, I can remember when Bush was running for office in 2000 - many latin and hispanic people were voting for him, much of what I write about here at ThaShow, such as the divide between the black and latin community (which is sad, and should NOT exist) began to get real bad around this time.
Much of what I talk about here, such as coming together to put an end to things like racism, how it's up to the People to make changes, are some of my reasons for voting for Obama - His message, is my message - It's a hopeful message, that calls for action from The People.
His experience as a Community Organizer is Major - So why do the Republicans attack that, laugh at that, and mock it? I'll tell you why.
It's Racism... modern day, Closet, disguised Racism.
David Ike, in one of his talks that you can find online, speaks about a time when there was Overt Racism; He likes to discuss conspiracy theories, and talk of the elite, the methods they used to gain power, and how they maintain it -- He speaks specifically of South Africa, but the example he uses fits for America as well -- Going from overt, to covert; gives the illusion that the problem is fixed - when in reality, it's not.
I liken racism in 2008, to a Cold War. People feel the exact same way they did 40 years ago. White people, for the most part, do not like or respect blacks, and black people for the most part, do not like white people for That reason.
It's not openly expressed anymore, and when it is, it comes via a covert comment, such as the GOP Congressman, Lynn Westmoreland, who referred to Obama as "uppity" then denied that he meant it as a racial slur, although the phrase "Uppity Negro" is indeed racial, and that is precisely where he was leaning.
I remember being in school, most students hated History class. I dont think that we're able to truly appreciate certain subjects while we're so young - such as History, Math... when we're 11, 12, and 13 years old we have no real idea of how relevant History is - We should be teaching kids other subjects at that age, preparing them to handle topics like history and math better; helping them to understand their importance, for a few years, before teaching the class to them.
Here is why; Due to the lack of education about racism, most white people do not realize it when it's on display. What they would view as not racist, often is racist, and the lack of understanding helps keep this 'cold war' ongoing.
Covert Racism, allows Rudy cross-dressing Juliani, to bash Community Organizing - it allows Palin to use the same talking point, to put down people that are trying to Organize the people most effected by Racism, and Legalized Segregation.
Most white people fail to understand the True impact this had on blacks - and frankly, Most black people fail to understand the True impact as well - We forget, that the black community was purposely Disorganized; that Organization went against the plans of segregationalist, who did not want to see black people succeed, ever. Hence the term Uppity Negro, which was used by whites to mock blacks that wanted to progress - and was then filtered into the black community, as a way of dividing blacks - where cynical blacks would mock their own, feeling that blacks could never progress, without 'trying to be white'.
This historical context is lacking in Most people, black or white, because we as a society do not properly prepare people to understand the importance Of history.
I know one of the original Crips personally, and he Told me and a few of my friends about the very beginnings of this gang; originally, they were like the Black Panthers, a Political Group seeking to improve the conditions of black people in America, seeking to uplift black people and.... Organize the Community.
Once again the lack of Historical Context leaves both blacks, and whites, totally unaware that All programs like this were targeted by 'the powers that be' and dismantled, discredited, and destroyed. This includes the Crips, and the formation of the Bloods.
This is not a simple subject, like many white people view it to be, there are many Variables that go into Segregation, Oppression based on Racism -- it's dynamics include the usage of poverty and refusing to provide Adequate Education to blacks. What it creates are Desperate people, who are willing to do Desperate things.
Such as, selling out black people.
There have always been black people willing to sell out other blacks, for a better life, for "the American Dream" ... a car, a house, peace of mind, the pursuit of happiness.
Enter, informants, and spies, paid off by 'the powers that be' to accomplish one goal; To dismantle the groups seeking to uplift the Black Community. So, Members of the Black Panther Party begin spreading rumors, lies, in an attempt to discredit leadership, to cause in-fighting, even to go out and commit a few crimes, in the Name of the Black Panthers - giving cause to the gov't, to go after it's leaders, arrest them and bring them down.
In the case of the Crips, what happened was the same, only different. Two members got thrown out for attempting to discredit the organization - and instead, formed their own group, which would continue to discredit and throw jabs at the other ... war of words breaks out ... escalating eventually to acts of violence ... This other group, is today known as The Bloods - they killed a crip, so a crip killed a blood, and now, 30 years later, Many black people have gone to jail, have died, or have been wounded severely over this nonsense -- and the Community is in total disarray.
The Crips and Bloods, in my opinion have the Most Power in the Black Community to help change and improve things For the black community. However, right now, they're misguided, misdirected, and simply taking the Black Community in the wrong direction.
Sometime in the Late 90's, being a "thug" became cool - more and more blacks began to delve into 'criminal activities' as a status merit, a way to receive props, as the 'most thuggish ruggish' ... and the Republicans want to Mock Community Organizing?
How else will the black Community rebound from all the horrible situations that have put them where they are? If you ask me, Community Organizing is what black people need most! And while we're at it, White people too.
At some point in time, Someone, or a group of someone's, need to come together to re-educate white people about the True effects of racism, and the role they need to play to help clean up America, to make it better, and stronger for us all.
Why? Together we stand... divided we fall.
Like our Economy is doing - we don't have a voice right now because we're too divided as Americans. You don't like me because I'm black; so you reject my ideas, no matter how solid they are. In the end, You lose Your job, your house, and eventually Your country, all because you refused to do the right thing, regardless of what your grand-daddy believed in.
You see, an America where everyone knows how to prosper is an America that doesn't have the kind of poverty that it is -- which means fewer desperate people willing to do desperate things -- which means better and more improved workers, employers, and employees -- better products, better service, a Happier more united society... Utopia is not as far fetched as we've been "Led"ucated to believe.

A Family Support Group Provides Comfort and Connection
Social worker Pamela Walsh leads a monthly support group at The New Jewish Home's Westchester campus, where family members of nursing home residents can share stories, answer each other's questions, and be part of a community.
Once a month, family members of nursing home residents at The New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman in Westchester gather to support each other and talk about whatever is on their mind. They meet in person when they can; on Zoom when that's not possible. They share the good and the bad, providing each other with comfort, support, and community.
For the past three years, the group has been led by Pamela Walsh, a social worker who is primarily responsible for the dementia care unit. Pamela, who works with residents and families, finds her job rewarding. "I enjoy it immensely, being the connector between families and residents, providing them with information and updates—especially during the pandemic, when they weren't able to come to the facility. It's quite meaningful to be of value."
Pamela worked in advertising and marketing before changing careers and becoming a social worker. "Then, I was a stay-at-home parent for many years before I got a job as a part-time social worker on this unit," she said.
The monthly family support group was already in place when she arrived, created by the previous social worker. "It began as a group for families of dementia patients, but it widened to include anyone with a family member in a long-term care unit. Everyone in the building has an opportunity to be part of a community. It's nice to see the connections they make."
Pamela facilitates the group but takes a back seat, empowering the family members to direct the discussion. "I sometimes talk about community resources," she said, "but the people who come are really just happy to meet other people, hear their stories, and ask the questions they don't know who else to ask."
The group provides participants with a lot of emotional support. "We do a round robin, with people sharing their stories. There are connection points, that sense of I've been there, that's so valuable."
One topic that comes up repeatedly is the difficulty of striking a comfortable balance. "People feel they should visit their loved ones every day, and they feel guilty about taking time away. More seasoned people repeatedly recommend taking time for yourself, easing up on daily visits. Hearing that from someone walking in those shoes is more valuable than hearing it from a social worker like me."
Even when the group transitioned to Zoom, Pamela said it remained popular, and in fact it was possible for even more people to participate. "Zoom helped connect people in an intimate way, perhaps even more than in person. And people could hop on from all over the country." It was a time when family members especially needed the support, too. "During COVID-19, there was such a sense of panic—they felt their loved one was safe, but they were so upset about being isolated in their homes themselves, and they expressed sadness at the situation."
The group is a mix of regular members who return monthly, she said, as well as a sprinkling of new people. Pamela talked about the benefits newcomers derive from talking to people who have had family members at Sarah Neuman for a long time.
"It's one of the most difficult things family members go through, placing someone in long-term care, and I'm happy to facilitate a space where they can support each other. It can be challenging for participants to talk about their experiences, so we make sure to create a safe space for them to open up. The group members say they feel good about coming to a place and talking about what's real."
If you are interested in being a part of the support group for long-term families at Sarah Neuman, please reach out to Pamela Walsh at PWalsh@jewishhome.org or call 914-864-5663.
The New Jewish Home has a proud legacy of empowering older adults to live with purpose and enhanced well-being. We've been around since 1848 as one of the nation's first nursing homes, and now serving older New Yorkers of all backgrounds through a portfolio of health care services, including post-acute care and rehabilitation, skilled nursing, adult day care, assisted living, and at-home care. See how we continue to elevate health care for older adults through our Research Institute on Aging and our SkillSpring program (formerly known as Geriatrics Career Development program), which empower teens and young adults to begin careers in health care

Pre-opening revamp underway at La Jolla's Sugar and Scribe bakery
Before the doors could even open at the planned Sugar and Scribe bakery/eatery, 7660 Fay Ave., (former home of Zenbu Sushi), co-owners Maeve Rochford and Patrick Daniels decided the full-service bakery would benefit from an overhaul.
Originally planned for an October 2014 debut, the eatery — a second location for the original Sugar and Scribe in Pacific Beach — will have a soft opening in late February, with a grand opening soon after.
"When we got behind the walls and under the floor and started some of the build-out, we found a few challenges that caused a bit of a delay," consultant John Angelo said.
While that was happening, the ownership team and Angelo used the downtime to think about how to best use the space.
The soon-to-be home of Sugar and Scribe, which will specialize in custom desserts at 7660 Fay Ave.
"The bakery section with our custom cookies, marshmallows and cakes, including wedding and cupcakes, really exploded (at our Pacific Beach location), so we decided to revamp our kitchen and we ended up redesigning the entire facility to offer more people our custom goods," Rochford said. "We wanted to make sure we provided enough space for the designers, so we have a whole section now where people can watch all the custom decorations happen — not only can people enjoy their custom desserts, but they can watch them being made." Angelo added, "Sometimes you are thrown
a curveball, but that curveball becomes an opportunity to knock it out of the park."
Rochford also said the delay afforded them more time to explore beer and wine options, the licensing for which they were granted.
"We want to celebrate craft beer in San Diego and custom wine-based drinks, so we are excited that we will be able to offer that," she said.
A Sugar and Scribe exclusive is the Black Velvet, a combination of Champagne and Guinness beer. In addition, the restaurant will have a gourmet to-go section for a quick lunch, and a fixed menu of Irish dishes for a sit-down experience.
"We took the opportunity to refine the concept and make it something people can get excited about and come back to again and again," Angelo said.
To perfectly showcase the custom desserts and house-made dishes, lighting took a front seat. "(Daniels) and our lighting designer spent three weeks working on the lighting in the kitchen space and on the first floor so we would have true color lighting, because when patrons have a custom designed cake and cookies, you want to make sure the color is right," Rochford said. "The vision of Sugar and Scribe — offering refined comfort food and a place that connects people and families — is something that really speaks to La Jolla, as the town is so family- and community- driven. I feel like so many elements of the restaurant speak to La Jolla."
