Q: Netbeans code for Postgresql and Eclipselink - identifying relation question I have the following database tables:

*

*party, with a pk "pty_id" connected to a sequence for generating pk values.

*person with a fpk "prs_pty_id" in an identifying relation to party.pty_id.

*company ... which is not involved at the moment, but obviously this is kindof sub-superclass setup, and it could probably have been implemented with the subclassing mechanism in postgresql, but that's for another day.

So, I use Netbeans 6.9.1 to generate JPA entity classes and controller/dao code to handle this. It works just nice, I only have to add one annotation to the Party Entity bean: @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY). This is not needed for the Person entity bean, because it should always have the pk value of the Party that it is connected to.
So here is what I do to create a person:
PartyJpaController parController = new PartyJpaController();
PersonJpaController perController = new PersonJpaController();
Party par = new Party();
Person per = new Person();
par.setComment("jalla");
per.setName("Per Vers");
parController.create(par);
per.setPrsPtyId(par.getPtyId()); // <== why do I need to set this ...
Long partyId = par.getPtyId();
par.setPerson(per); // <== ... when this explicitly expresses the relationship?
perController.create(per);
parController.edit(par);

Party foundParty = parController.findParty(partyId);

Person foundPerson = foundParty.getPerson();
System.err.println(foundPerson.getName());

This works just fine. But why do I have to explicitly set the pk of the Person bean? It is in an identifying relationship with the Party. If I skip it, I get
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An instance of a null PK has been incorrectly provided for this find operation.

in perController.create(per), which is code generated by Netbeans:
EntityManager em = null;
try {
    em = getEntityManager();
    em.getTransaction().begin();
    Party party = person.getParty();
    if (party != null) {
        party = em.getReference(party.getClass(), party.getPtyId()); // <== Exception thrown here
        person.setParty(party);
    }
    em.persist(person);
    if (party != null) {
        party.setPerson(person);
        party = em.merge(party);
    }
    em.getTransaction().commit();

So, I suppose the Netbeans-generated code is not quite tuned for identifying relationships? What's the best way to code this?
Software used: Eclipselink version 2.1.1 Postgresql 8.4 Netbeans 6.9.1 Java/JDK 1.6.0_21
Here are my beans, they're generated by netbeans 6.9.1 from schema, except the @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) in Party, which I've added in order to use the serial/sequence pk generation in postgresql.

A: JPA 2.0 improved considerably the support of derived identifiers with the Id and MapsId annotations (they should be preferred now) that you can use on XxxToOne associations. Below one of the example taken from the specification:

2.4.1.3 Examples of Derived Identities
...
Example 4:
The parent entity has a simple primary
  key:
@Entity
public class Person {
    @Id String ssn;
    ...
}

Case (a): The dependent entity has a single primary key attribute which
  is mapped by the relationship
  attribute. The primary key of
  MedicalHistory is of type String.
@Entity
public class MedicalHistory {
    // default join column name is overridden
    @Id
    @OneToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="FK")
    Person patient;
    ...
}

Sample query:
SELECT m
FROM MedicalHistory m
WHERE m.patient.ssn = '123-45-6789'

Case (b): The dependent entity has a single primary key attribute
  corresponding to the relationship
  attribute. The primary key attribute
  is of the same basic type as the
  primary key of the parent entity. The
  MapsId annotation applied to the
  relationship attribute indicates that
  the primary key is mapped by the
  relationship attribute.
@Entity
public class MedicalHistory {
    @Id String id; // overriding not allowed
    ...
    // default join column name is overridden
    @MapsId
    @JoinColumn(name="FK")
    @OneToOne Person patient;
    ...
}

Sample query:
SELECT m
FROM MedicalHistory m WHERE m.patient.ssn = '123-45-6789'

I think that the MapsId might be what you're looking for.
Follow-up: Instead of this:
public class Person implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "prs_pty_id", nullable = false)
    @MapsId
    private Long prsPtyId;
    @Column(name = "name", length = 255)
    private String name;
    @Column(name = "cellphone", length = 55)
    private String cellphone;
    @Column(name = "officephone", length = 55)
    private String officephone;
    @JoinColumn(name = "prs_pty_id", referencedColumnName = "pty_id", nullable = false, insertable = false, updatable = false)
    @OneToOne(optional = false)
    private Party party;
    ...
}
Try this:
public class Person implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "prs_pty_id", nullable = false)
    private Long prsPtyId;
    @Column(name = "name", length = 255)
    private String name;
    @Column(name = "cellphone", length = 55)
    private String cellphone;
    @Column(name = "officephone", length = 55)
    private String officephone;
    @MapsId
    @JoinColumn(name = "prs_pty_id", referencedColumnName = "pty_id")
    @OneToOne
    private Party party;
    ...
}

Tag: Venn Diagram of Pop
Slow (Extended Mix)
February 15, 2016 / Abigail Ward / 0 Comments
[From the vaults: a blog for Pop 'Til You Drop, 2011]
"You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing…"
Bursting out of my speakers on this mercifully sunny afternoon, Kylie Minogue's 'Slow' sounds every bit as seductive and extreme as it did on its release date eight years ago this November. A peerless pop production then and now, 'Slow' was masterminded by engineer Dan Carey (The Kills, Hot Chip), Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini and, of course, the former Ms Charlene Mitchell herself.
As with lots of the landmark pop tracks I blog about, I can remember the first time I heard it – after hours in the basement of the record shop where I worked, the extended mix played off a white label. It wound its way around me, gave me no choice. It's one of those records that draws the listener in with what it leaves out. A real statement.
Tricky to pull off live (I've heard a few attempts), 'Slow' is all about the studio. It's a lesson in stealth and minimalism: the dryest of dry rhythm tracks, the merest hint of a synth riff, that four-note bassline – simplicity itself. Then there's Kylie, of course, all close-miked and conspiratorial, murmuring something rather promising about her 'body language'.
It's testament to the quality of the production that Michael Mayer, co-owner of Cologne's famed techno label Kompakt, was moved to cover 'Slow' in 2005. But even he could not compete with the purity of the original. His version didn't really work. Why?
Because Kylie wasn't on it.
'Slow', for me, belongs at the centre of an imagined Venn diagram of ace pop: the place where the experiments and extremities of the underground collide with the lavish sex appeal, star quality and accessibility of the mainstream. It's one of my favourite places to spend time. Click here, here or here for more details.
Baillie Walsh, director of the 'Slow' video, contributed further to the atmosphere of the track with his highly stylised aerially shot film of poolside bathers shifting on their towels in mellifluous synchrony. Kylie's right where she should be, working it at the centre, 'best dress on' (just).

Although I was pleased to see such expansive coverage of Tanglewood, I was surprised and distressed to read that the successful ''Marsalis on Music'' television series, which I co-produced and helped create, is now described as a ''failure,'' according to Mr. Oestreich. Why he would make such a claim when he was purportedly writing a factual and fair article, I do not know, but the contrary couldn't be truer. Besides drawing an audience of more than 2 million households for each of its four programs in its initial broadcast on PBS, the series received overwhelming critical praise from the nation's leading newspapers, including The New York Times. The series was also honored with a Peabody Award, the most distinguished American award for broadcasting excellence, and it was nominated for an Emmy award.
The reason the series was so highly regarded had to do mostly with the original concepts and brilliant insights of Wynton Marsalis, the series' author and engaging host. It also had to do with the boldness of our vision for reviving musical education on television. And it had to do with the enthusiastic and unstinting efforts of Seiji Ozawa, Yo-Yo Ma, Mr. Marsalis's extraordinary jazz orchestra and the wonderful Tanglewood student orchestra.
At a time when classical-music education was declining dramatically in American schools, we were applauded for creating an atmosphere of musical appreciation that had not been produced on television since Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts. Our efforts had a wide and coordinated sweep. In advance of the first broadcasts on PBS, we arranged for the release of a school teacher's guide that was distributed nationally by the Music Educators National Conference as well as for a companion book. Today, home-video copies of the programs are staples of music libraries across the nation.
The writer is the president of Sony Classical.

Kirschenbaum Brings "Look at Us Now, Mother!" to Sag Harbor Cinema on Sunday
10cjlow1979

By Danny Peary
Mother's Day weekend is upon us and if you plan to spend time with your own mother or just reminisce about her, I recommend that you step into the Sag Harbor Cinema at 3 PM Saturday or Sunday and see Look at Us Now, Mother! This fascinating documentary will also premiere May 6 at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, the Bow Tie Cinemas in Roslyn, and North Shore Towers Cinema, and have multiple screenings at each venue. Its award-winning filmmaker Gayle Kirschenbaum (A Dog's Life: A Dogamentary, My Nose) who spent her teenage years in the Five Towns in Nassau County, will appear at each theater, capping it off with a Q&A at the Sag Harbor Cinema after the screening on Mother's Day Sunday.
I hope you will join me there. Her bravely revealing, alternately sad and very funny feature about her difficult, lifelong relationship with her supercritical mom is an expansion on her short, My Nose. In that acclaimed film her mother tries, as she did decades before, to convince her daughter to get a needless nose job in order to attract the opposite sex. By making her new film, in which she and 92-year-old Mildred prove to be a dynamic duo, the director hoped to come to terms with her unhappy youth, but in addition, the years she spent shooting and editing it also allowed her the time to heal her long-open wounds, as well as cement the love and friendship of mother and daughter. In anticipation of its release, Gayle Kirschenbaum agreed to talk about her movie. It was excerpted in this week's Sag Harbor Express. This is the complete interview.
Danny Peary: You had made many films for television but A Dog's Life: A Dogamentary was your first indie personal film. It was 52-minutes long and featured you and Chelsea, your remarkable and much missed Shih Tzu. Were you already thinking about making more films with yourself in front of the camera?
Gayle Kirschenbaum: It felt right and I was being encouraged by others. One of my assistants called me a "personality."
DP: When did you decide to make My Nose?
GK: It was more or less a spur of the moment decision that I made because of my mother pushing me to get a nose job. She was relentless and was convinced that everybody agreed with her that I needed a nose job to find a husband and have a successful career. My mother had been saying for years that my nose looks like the Indian's nose on the Buffalo nickel. I thought that if I got people to tell my mother on camera that there was nothing wrong with my nose, she'd get off my back, so I made My Nose for my mother and not because I had any great desire to actually get a nose job.
A teenage Gayle.
DP: How did she react when people said you looked alike?
GK: Oh, that was an insult for her. She doesn't think we look alike. When the doggie film premiered in Florida at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, I ended up on the cover of the magazine insert in the local paper. So her friends were calling her going, "Oh, your daughter looks just like you." Devastating! I had a podcast series called On the Trail with Gayle, in which I talked to mothers and daughters on the street. One mother said to my mother, "Don't you realize she has your nose?" That definitely was not a compliment to her. I think my mother is beautiful and has amazing bone structure, and her nose never bothered her. I don't really see it. My nose has a totally different shape and is similar to my father's.
DP: When you were making My Nose as a short, were you already thinking of expanding it into feature?
GK: Yes, but it was going to be a completely different film. It wasn't going to focus only on my mother and me. It was going to be about body image and society's pressure to change how we look. What I shot originally was a 13-minute promo. But so many people loved it that it started getting recommended to festivals as a short. I thought, "Why not?" Then I decided that if I eventually expanded it into a feature it would go deeper into the mother-daughter relationship and the thrust would be: how to deal with a mother who is critical of her daughter.
DP: What was the thread from My Nose to making Look at Us Now, Mother!?
A young Mildred.
GK: It was due to the reaction of My Nose. People stood on line to tell me their own stories and I found myself couching them. Then after one Q&A following a screening of My Nose, a therapist who was there told me, "You have to do a seminar about how you were able to forgive your mother." After some hesitation, I wrote down what I called "The Seven Healing Tools," and I started to do seminars, using my life as an example to teach people how they can forgive somebody. Then I was encouraged by a friend to cut a trailer for a feature documentary. I never expected to make this deeply personal film about my life, to put it all,, but I felt, "This is my job, I just have to do this." People called My Nose brave, but there was nothing brave about it. I will agree that Look At Us Now, Mother! is brave.
DP: When we talked seven years ago about My Nose, you said then that your relationship with your mother had become really good. So has it been really good the whole seven years or could it become truly good only at the end of filming Look at Us Now, Mother!, once she finally apologized and you forgave her?
GK: I need to say that I love my mother a lot and actually have grown to love her more with time. Since my father died in 2006, my mother and I have become amazingly close. She has a great spirit and is quite open minded about many things. How many people can talk to their mother about sex, particularly a mother in her nineties? How many people have moms that age who can take a computer apart and put it back together? So she's got a few obsessions. Who doesn't? Like with every relationship, there have been ups and downs. My biggest challenge in life was getting to that point where I could forgive my mother, and I had forgiven her prior to making this movie. I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't forgiven her already. However, I still had many questions about her past and throughout the filming of the movie and the therapist visits many got answered. And more importantly with the help of the therapist I was able to understand better why did what she did to me. No one could understand from having watched my funny short about my nose how I was even able to speak to my mother never mind love her. Many disliked her from a fluffy funny short. I thought, "They haven't seen anything yet!" So I made this movie.
DP: Did you worry that your mother might not want to participate in a film that shows how she damaged you as a child, not with physical abuse but by being so critical?

GK: No. When My Nose premiered in Washington D.C., we were both on the cover of The Washington Post's Style section. There was a picture of my profile in front of the Indian's on the Buffalo nickel, and the first line said, "If you have a mother like Gayle Kirschenbaum's, you'd better get yourself into psychoanalysis." She read it and said, "Great, bad press is better than no press. I'm on the cover of The Washington Post!" She loves attention at all costs, so I wasn't worried about her.
DP: You say in your film that its goal is to help others forgive.
GK: I interviewed people of our generation who have written their stories and memoirs about their critical parents, and I've noticed one thing in common. They haven't forgiven them. Frequently it was their mothers they hadn't forgiven, and they'd say, "She never said she was sorry." I'd say, "They're not even aware they did anything wrong." I hope that this movie, my personal story, will help people get to a place where they can forgive a mother or someone else. It takes a lot of work but they'll be much happier when they can. I'm always very, very deeply moved when people who are victims of horrible things can forgive. Somebody said that when you don't forgive and have anger it's like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. It hurts only you; it doesn't hurt anybody else. The ability to forgive is the biggest gift you an can give yourself. If you don't forgive it effects you, your relationships and your health.
DP: When did you begin this movie?
GK: The summer of 2011 is when I ran a Kickstarter campaign. Then I started to shoot additional footage, including those scenes of my mother and me with therapists. It was a matter of shooting new stuff and combining that with previously shot footage to tell a journey that was never really shot as a journey.
DP: Talk about the old material.
GK: I had a lot of home video footage, most of which was not taken in anticipation of it ever being shown to the public. Also I found the box with my childhood diaries, and I read them. So I had to go back into my childhood and it took me down a dark road. I actually became a wounded, angry, victimized child again. If I knew it was going to be so hard I don't think I would have done it.
DP: Because it brought up bad memories?
GK: Yeah, reliving them. I'm a highly sensitive person and the feelings were so real. When you're reliving horrible things, you're not going to be in a forgiving state of mind, right? It alters your attitude. And I was very much isolated during this time. I didn't have a partner in making the movie, I produced and directed it and I took over the editing. I didn't have anybody around. I didn't have a support system. Chelsea, my beloved dog, had died in 2010, so my comfort and my healer wasn't there. I put everything into this. I wasn't doing anything else, so in addition to the emotional stress I had financial stress because I had no outside income. And I had physical stress. I was experiencing all these things I hadn't had since childhood. Also I got shingles twice and developed an autoimmune disease due to the stress.
DP: Reliving your childhood with your mother brought on the stress, but did you use her for support while making the movie?
GK: She saw the toll it was taking on me and would say, "Finish this goddamn movie, it's killing you–just finish it or do something else."
DP: Was it just a matter of not finishing the editing? I know that for your A Dog's Life, you had hours and hours of footage.
GK: But nothing compared to this film. That was 50 hours of light-hearted footage. This was 250 hours of footage that ate my kishkas out. There was lots of archival footage and photos. The key to moving it along was being organized. This movie came together in the editing room.
DP: How did you decide when to stop shooting? If she said "I'm sorry," was that what you needed to put away the camera?
GK: Yeah, I wanted her to acknowledge she had done something for which she should apologize.
DP: I won't say what happens, but were you thinking that if she never apologized, you would still have a movie?
GK: Yeah, absolutely. No matter what she'd say in the film, I knew she still wouldn't think she did anything wrong!
DP: Does that make you sad? Or was it still good to conclude that she wasn't trying to be a bad mother?
GK: Right, she did the best she could.
DP: Where are your parents from and where did you grow up?
GK: My parents grew up in Brooklyn. I lived in Queens until I was five and then from ages five to sixteen I grew up on Long Island, in the Five Towns, in an upper-middle-class Jewish neighborhood.
DP: Your mother wanted a boy named Gary.
GK: I grew up my whole life hearing you were supposed to be a boy named Gary. My mother was told that she had a 50% chance of having a boy, and I'm not good at math, but I know what 50% means. Still she was positive she'd have a boy and then she had me, Gayle not Gary.
DP: Did it reinforce your suspicion that you didn't fit in and were probably adopted?
GK: I have to emphasize that those were very young thoughts. I whispered to my grandmother that I knew I was adopted and she shouldn't tell anyone and she told everyone because she thought it was so funny. I found out I wasn't adopted but I did grow up with a Cinderella complex, asking, "Why am I treated like this? Why am I like a slave?"
DP: In the film you say that your mom would say, "I need you" all the time. What did she need you for?
GK: For instance, the phone would be right near her and I'd be upstairs and she'd yell, "Gayle, get me the phone." I'd have to go downstairs and hand her the phone. It was endless. It was about control. I had so much fear of my mother, I never knew what she was going to ask me to do or do to me. There was constant humiliation. So I was physically sick and would have headaches and dizzy spells and throw up. I couldn't gain weight because I didn't have an appetite.
DP: And you felt like a step-daughter while she embraced her two sons?
GK: Yes, they were treated completely differently. They even share that in the film.
DP: In your movie your mother defends her actions toward you by saying that as a little girl you were already defined and on track to be who you are and were very challenging.
GK: She tells the story of being in a dressing room trying on a gold-lamé bathing suit when I took it and said that would look better on me. I don't remember that at all because I wasn't even four but wouldn't you think that's kind of cute for such a small girl to say? Instead my mother thought it was horrible. It was jealousy. She felt threatened by her little baby girl, and now she's defending her reaction then by saying, "That was your personality, you were bitchy." That was my personality? I was just a little girl! Isn't there something wrong with that?
DP: We see that you were a pretty girl with a fine nose but that you were already being harassed by your mother about having a large nose. Were you an insecure girl or confident kid who was a prime candidate to eventually go into television and film?
GK: When I was about five, before my mother started on my nose, my parents took me to see the movie Gigi, with Leslie Caron. From then on I wanted to be a movie star and told my parents they had to call me Gigi or I wouldn't answer. As you say, my relationship with my mother was difficult from an early age. There was also physical abuse but those scars don't last. You might say mom and I didn't see eye to eye on things such as my being forced to wear clothing that made me break out in rashes. I was a late developer my mother wanted me to have silicon breast implants when I was a young teenager. She used to take foam rubber and stuff my bathing suit top with it. I was so self-conscious about my body in high school that I'd figure out how to get into my gym suit without exposing any of my body. I did not like being controlled. As I developed, she became even more critical of my looks and my various physical attributes. I wouldn't say it was a confidence boost. Boys were attracted to me but I didn't blossom until I left for college soon after I turned seventeen, and was living 200 miles away. I no longer had to live in fear of what my mom would do to me.
DP: Did you blame yourself when she treated you badly?
GK: Here's the deal. When I was born, I felt like I came into this world as an old soul. I felt everybody else in my family was a new soul and didn't have the knowledge I had. The difference between me and a lot of my friends who suffer from the scars of childhood–and don't get me wrong, I have plenty of scars because I was being criticized and put down in every way–is that I knew in my own mind that there wasn't anything wrong with me. I knew there was something wrong with my mother and the rest of my family for behaving this way towards me. So when she wanted me to have a nose job for years. I never thought I needed a nose job. When I was being ripped apart, I never felt there was something wrong with me, and that's a saving grace because a lot of my friends who were criticized grew up feeling they were not good enough. The scars from my childhood are not about losing self-self-esteem but about abandonment and trust. Because I was convinced that my real parents left me at birth and these people took over, I felt abandoned. I told myself that if these two people are truly my parents and they wouldn't treat me like this, I'm never going to let anybody hurt me like this again –and I put up a big wall. And it's has always been very hard to let anybody into my life when I am that protected.
DP: Did you want different parents?
GK: It wasn't just my parents. I disliked many adults because I thought they didn't understand kids. Back in the fifties, women carried purses that hung in the crook of their arms. I remember going to Mays Department Store in Queens and my head was at the height of the purse. The women were so unconscious that I was there that I'd be hit in the head repeatedly. So I just had this thing about adults.
DP: Would you bring friends to your home?
GK: In the film, I put only one friend on camera, but I use the voices of two other childhood friends. One friend I reconnected with after thirty-seven years said she still remembers that she hated being at my house. One reason is that my mother would force-feed oatmeal to not just to me but my friends who slept over. They remember that.
DP: Having watched your film, I think your mother subconsciously always resented not having independence, and I think having a girl made it hit home how stuck she was. Her sons could do whatever they wanted, but a girl defined her more as a mother and having to stay at home. A girl coming into her life was taking away more of her independence.
GK: I don't agree. I think that when I was born female competition arrived. Perhaps she thought a female from a later generation had more opportunities than she had in her life and could remain independent by not choosing marriage and children at a young age.
DP: If she were born when you were born, would she be like you?
GK: My brothers were of the same generation as me and weren't like me, so I can't say that about my mother. One of the things that I hope comes across in the film is that women from her generation and our generation handle things differently. I think if my mother were of my generation she would have had a pretty serious career, possibly as a high-powered lawyer. She's one of the smartest and most versatile people I know. And I see her as being incredibly independent–you can see the thread from my grandmother to my mother to me, women who make things happen rather than sitting around and waiting. The difference is that my grandmother had to marry young in her generation, and my mother obviously married young, too.
DP: Would your mom have liked to have been rich? (don't understand this question- are you implying she is not rich?
GK: Are you kidding? When I would bring a guy home it was always, "What does his father do?" She was always very impressed by wealth and fame. My mother drives a Mercedes. My mother's a very smart cookie and when she was in her early thirties she was investing in the market. She is extremely clever with money.
DP: It seems like if she has any guilt over anything in your childhood, it was putting you on top of the refrigerator.
GK: She acknowledges it happened but she has no guilt about it. When the movie Mommie Dearest came out, she picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Mommie Dearest." She embraced being Mommie Dearest. It wasn't "I was horrible, I was a Mommie Dearest," but was "They made a movie about me!"
DP: You included scenes of her just playing with you as a kid. How do you react when you see how loving she was with little you?
GK: I know she loved me, she just had a hard time.
DP: Maybe you had a need to forgive her because you always saw something in her, that she actually wanted a relationship. And I'm sure it was frustrating that you couldn't get close to her.
GK: My mother has a lot of good in her. But when it came to psychology and understanding how people tick, she always was at a real loss.
DP: How were you about accepting flattery from her? For instance, there is a scene in the movie where she proudly shows your art on the walls of her apartment.
GK: I know that she has bragged about my art and found me creative, but I felt like I was working for her. I had to make paintings with certain colors to match different rooms. But I don't remember flattery about my looks while growing up in a neighborhood where girls had nose jobs, straightened their hair, and shopped for expensive dresses. I was part of the artsy-fartsy group and she was not happy with that. I was being criticized about how I looked and because I was a hippie and my whole lifestyle devastated her.
DP: Were your goals for yourself as a girl different from what your mother wanted for you?
GK: Yes, absolutely. I remember my mother telling me over and over again I was going to be an art teacher because I had an inclination for art. She thought teaching was the perfect career for a woman because you can get married and have babies and then go back to it. I never wanted to be a teacher and when it came time to go to college, I picked one that didn't have an education department.
DP: After college, you were quite successful producing documentaries in L.A. and back in New York, which I'd think would make your mother proud. Could you have continued doing that and made that your career?
GK: I don't think so. My voice is so strong and my desire to tell my own stories was aching to come out.
DP: Including this one, which doesn't always show you in the best light either.
GK: I decided to reveal many personal things in this film and show my flaws too, the ugly me. When you are abused it has a long lasting effect and anger is just beneath the surface. Controlling the anger and reframing it is the challenge and it's liberating if you do it.
DP: Your father seemed to have a lot of anger.
GK: He was a very bitter, angry guy. He'd bark and scream, and he and my mother were always arguing, but he was a very soft person inside. He had a very dry sense of humor and was very compassionate, but he was so unhappy and that just kind of took over. And he married a wild woman. We'd go to affairs and my mother would get drunk and make a scene, and get lots of attention. Even at 90, she climbed on top of a bar and danced wearing a boa. She was and is a party girl.
DP: She has always been outgoing but you had the camera on him at your parents' 50th anniversary celebration and he had nothing to say.
GK: That was my father. If I called home he'd pick up the phone and say, "I'll get your mom." He would never speak. I was probably the one he spoke to most because I was the only one who would listen to him. It usually had to do with his ailments, that's what he was very focused on. He was always sick. He had arthritis and had a million problems. My parents moved to Florida and when I would go down there, it was exhausting because he'd be yelling at me nonstop. I was so drained from his badgering that I couldn't wait to leave, but suddenly he tried to convince me to move down there because he thought he'd end up in a wheelchair and I would be a better caretaker than my mom. After he died, she was very upset, but her response to why she was not interested in dating others was "I don't want to be a nurse with a purse." And she said, "It's the first time in my life I don't have to answer to anybody." That's very telling, right? My father had a frustrating life because he worked in his family's funeral home and never followed his passions, such as music. It was very clear he hated what he did but he let me know he did it to put food on the table. I thought it was very sad when I asked my mother what he really wanted to do and she didn't know. How do you not know your husband after sixty-three years? I think my mother's much smarter than me in many areas, but I am much more intuitive and sensitive about people.
DP: Were you surprised at the passion. romance, and lustfulness of the letters your parents wrote each other when he was in the army?
GK: I couldn't believe what a great writer she is. I thought it was funny when he wrote asking about her figure.
DP: He wanted to know her exact measurements so he could brag to other soldiers.
GK: They fought like cats and dogs, but I will say that they were very physically attracted to each other. My father once confided in me that while we were vacationing together in Africa, my mother took him to a secluded spot on the beach and they made love. I do like my mother's line in the movie about how she'd go to sleep every night holding my father's penis. I'd heard everything so that was nothing new for me. One time her granddaughter asked her, "Do you two still do it," and she said, "Are you kidding? It's the only muscle he has that still works." A lot of people asked my mother what the secret was to their long marriage, and she would say, "We never go to sleep angry." And I agree that's a very good lesson.
DP: For a mother and daughter, too.
GK: That is so funny, I never thought about that. But, yes.
DP: The big revelation in the movie is that your mother had a difficult childhood herself, something you didn't really know, and it undoubtedly impacted on who she was as a mother. The only thing she made an effort to remember before was that her mother didn't complain.
GK: Over the years I'd asked her about her childhood many, many times but she never opened up to anyone before. In France was the only time I've felt her pain about it. That scene is poorly shot and the audio is bad, but I couldn't lose that one moment of her being emotional. My grandmother would say, you should never hang out your dirty laundry, and my mother was the same. Her cousin Tillie says to her in the movie, "You wouldn't even mention if someone had cancer." My grandmother dressed beautifully despite having no money. She had to sew her dresses together, but she looked rich. My mother inherited that ability to look stylish and upscale.
DP: Your mother, like her mother, accepted all the bad in her life without complaint. But you were able to detect that she has some pain because of her childhood, including untimely deaths in the family.
GK: My mother's not remembering is what I think drove me to do genealogical research. I discovered tragic events happened in my mother's life and she was old enough to remember but chose not to. It was a bad time in which grandmother didn't have much time for her. My grandmother had a lot to do, including taking care of her depressed husband, and as a result I think my mother was cheated out of her childhood.
DP: One of the times your mother opens up in the movie is when you're both with a therapist. In regard to your saying she was a critical mother, she admits, "I didn't know what I was doing."
GK: Soon after I finished the movie, I said to her, "Come on, Mom, give me another good ending and say you're sorry." And she said, "But I didn't do anything wrong!" So she hadn't changed. She's not focused on reliving the past, her choice is to forget it. And it's serving her well. She's 91 and you would never know it.
DP: She does say that she loves you and that she's happy you two are friends, so that had to move you.
GK: She once said, "If I knew you were hurting so much I would have said to you that I love you more often." I absolutely love her. I need to emphasize my mother's one of my favorite people to hang out with today. I speak to her all the time, and sometimes we go at it and have fights and hang up on each other, but then it's over. She's for sure my favorite person to travel with because she's very adventurous and not fearful. My mom likes to take all the back roads, get on local buses, and eat food from the local stands.
DPP: You say in voiceover that she taught you to take on life with a fierce passion.
GK: Did my mother do that? Definitely. I got a lot of amazing qualities from her.
DP: Does she still want you to get married?
GK: She doesn't care anymore. She just wants me to be happy.
DP: Would she approve of whom you'd choose to marry?
GK: After waiting so long, I could bring home a lesbian with three heads and she wouldn't care. At this point, she doesn't care.
DP: Does your mother compliment you more now that she knows she didn't do it enough before?
GK: She's been more complimentary about my looks as I've gotten older. I was recently down in Florida with her for three weeks because she had surgery, and I was putting on clothing to go to the gym, and she said, "You have a good figure." She'll now say things like that and "You don't look your age." We just had an interesting moment while I was down there. She got very moved and teary-eyed by how I managed her care. I took charge and was her advocate handling the doctors and her recovery. It was the first time I was able to be there for her and I loved preparing meals for her. She really appreciated my healthy dishes. In fact, I got her into making big salads filled with lots of tasty ingredients. I would not leave her until she was okay on her own and she cried from appreciation. She knows that I will be there for her no matter what the circumstances.
DP: Does your mom hope this film can help people?
GK: Absolutely. She says this film is like therapy.
DP: How did your recent pre-release screening go?
GK: What a night! I could not have shown it to a more enthusiastic audience. I was humbled by the standing ovation. Mom loved the film. Her first comment was, "I never realized I was such a bitch." When asked what her next film will be she said, "A porn film." That's mom!
DP: So what do you hope happens with it in the future?
GK: The film started in festivals last spring and it has played in may all over America and abroad including Canada, UK, Israel and India. I have been humbled by the audience- sold out screenings, standing ovations and several awards. I apparently hit a nerve with this film. After the Q&A, I am usually mobbed by people waiting to give me a hug and then share their story in hopes I will be able to help them. Seems like I must be doing something right. I am the accidental therapist. My motivation and drive now is to build a movement focused on forgiveness and healing between mothers and daughters. And we have initiatives that we will launch one where people will have an opportunity to share their own story. And most likely next up I will be writing a book. Just need to pass the distribution baton to someone else because is quite time consuming. I intentionally did not sign away all my rights because I wanted to be able to have access to my film and launch this movement through the theatrical release.
DP: How can people see it this month and in the future?
GK: We are doing a Mother's Day release on Long Island. Then probably elsewhere depending on how it does before it is out on TV and/or on Netflix and other digital platforms. The best way to stay in touch and know about when and where the film is released is to sign up for our newsletter at our website at
http://lookatusnowmother.com . The website will have everything up to date and there is much to watch and read there including the trailer. We will be sharing all our information about the release and many other things in our social media. Like us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/kplookatusnowmother. And follow us on twitter @glkirschenbaum. Mom and I are becoming the mother-daughter poster combo who goes out there and talks about mother-daughter relationships, and about forgiving.

India, ADB sign $300 million loan to improve primary health care
New Delhi, Nov 26 (TIWN) India and the Asian Development Bank have signed a $300 million loan to strengthen and improve access to comprehensive primary health care in urban areas of 13 states that will benefit over 256 million urban dwellers including 51 million from slum areas.
Interventions through the programme will promote increased utilisation of urban HWCs with provision of comprehensive primary health care packages including non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and community outreach services such as awareness raising activities on health care options, particularly for women. The delivery and health information systems for primary health care will be upgraded through digital tools, quality assurance mechanisms, engagement and partnership with the private sector.
"Ensuring equitable access to non-Covid-19 primary health care is critical amid challenges posed by the pandemic to India's health system," said Takeo Konishi, Country Director of ADB's India Resident Mission. He said that the programme complements the government's efforts to bridge the health care gaps by strengthening institutional capacity, operation, and management of urban health and wellness centres at the central, state, and municipal levels.

Apple is one of the former and if we've a review of prior releases; it's extremely likely that the iPhone 6S will be noted in September and will go marked down a fourteen days a short time later. Certainly, if the dispatch situation is towards the end of the month, the iPhone 6S discharge day might be early October. Remember when there are two new iPhones reported for the existing year, they might not go on specific about the same time.
Nevertheless, if we feel on "Financial Everyday Media" (translated), the iPhone 6S can arrive a month ahead of schedule in August. It guarantees the existing springs produce for the gadget is more advanced than expected so Apple may hop its weapon.
What we do know is that Apple gives us our first chance to possess a review of iOS 9 because their Global Developer Discussion (WWDC) begins on 8 June. It's virtually certain that the iPhone 6S should come preloaded with iOS 9 so we will anyway see the item components of calling before it's declared.
According to the upgrade at the best point of the site, Vodafone has exposed the iPhone 6S or'New iPhone'as it is eluded to will go discounted on 25 September with preorder start on 18 September. The info was submitted a contact to staff yet seen by Mobile News.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph, which refers to'market places ', claims that Apple Spend may dispatch in two months proposing an May dispatch and so the iPhone 6S can accompany it prepared to go.
Having an "S" model iPhone, most things are likely to keep through to the conclusion so far as outline and specs. Usually there are a pair improvements here and there yet Apple can sacrifice true changes for the next whole design quantity - i.e. the iPhone 7.
It seems to be probably then that the iPhone 6S will have a impressive similarity as the present iPhone 6. It'll utilize same situation and come in the exact same treatment choices. The fat may change but due to unique pieces inside or another sapphire glass.
An S product stays with the same screen evaluate so we are possibly having a gander at 4.7in and if there is an iPhone 6S Plus then it must to remain at 5.5in. Promises are moreover liable to keep with it though one talk proposes the new iPhone will have a 5in display with a 400ppi and shouldn't something be claimed about the Samsung Galaxy Observe Edge equaling thought underneath by Michael Shanks?

Review: "Rose" (Greenhouse Theater Center)
Sean Margaret Wagner February 12, 2018
Linda Reiter/Photo: Johnny Knight.
She waits in her picturesque 1969 living room, with every surface covered in photos and albums. She's the figurehead of the wealthy, pioneering, influential, ideal American family — the Kennedys — and the only one returning her calls right now is the damn biographer. So, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, mother to activists, war heroes, socialites and power brokers starts off intending to give perfect accounts of her children's public facing legacies, then veers into the murky territory of what made those successes possible. With "Rose", Greenhouse Theater Center's remount of author Laurence Leamer's and solo-performer Linda Reiter's 2016 smashing tell-all, there's a lot of ground to cover, and no better woman to do it.
Linda Reiter's Rose is all at once marooned, desperate for a confessional booth to pour her history into, and very cagey with outsiders. "You can't trust anybody outside the family," she tells her sons and daughters. She's born into wealth and prominence as the daughter of Boston's first Irish Catholic mayor John F. Fitzgerald, and devotes her life to carrying that legacy into the future. She marries into Kennedys (her father's political rivals), turns an icy-cold cheek to her husband's early infidelity and unpopular peace-mongering at the onset of World War II, and channels all her hopes and ambitions onto her sons (mostly) and daughters (somewhat). There's barely an utterance of the word 'divorce', and such a thing would be untenable to a good Catholic such as Rose, anyway. "I always obeyed men," Rose admits, when her own wants threaten to overtake her.
To her sons Joseph Jr. John, Robert and Teddy, there are no limits to what they can achieve. Their lavish compound in Cape Code was devoted to their clans' rigorous mental and physical training, and every member of the family benefited from top notch schooling and induction into international high society. "My daughters are nice, but I grow tired of them," Rose admits of Kathleen, Eunice, Patricia and Jean, "They feel I did not love them the way I loved their brothers." Her daughters are the only recipients of Rose's disappointment. At every turn, they fail her by pursuing their dreams, becoming divorcees, or — God forbid — holding the men in their lives accountable for their actions.
The only daughter that Rose holds as dear as her boys is Rosemary, who is born with limited mental capabilities. When the once docile and joyful girl became too much of a handful, she was treated to a lobotomy at her father's behest, and kept institutionalized for years in secret. Rose admits the lies they told for years, even to their own children about Rosemary's whereabouts, especially during son John F. Kennedy's presidential election.
Rose's past is catching up to her in epic fashion, and she pages through Greek tragedies while reliving her own devastating public losses that mirror them. The dynasty she's built gets smaller with the loss of her sons, and the addition of scandal. Why her children hesitate to accept the privileges (and costs) they've been afforded the way that she did in her youth, is beyond her. To be popular, well respected, and to carry a dynasty is worth any price to Rose, and failure is never an option.
The automatic prestige of a show like "Rose", and the easy parallels to epic Greek tragedies are what make this production so easily producible. The real-life drama is bursting at the seams, and the scenery comes ready-to-chew by an astoundingly effective Linda Reider, holding court as Rose. She is so intent on inspiring only admiration and respect for her distinguished clan, that her true feelings come upon her by complete surprise; "I am angry — and I never feel angry," she admits. Complete strength and poise are the only things to convey when you have everything. Never doubt. Never despair.
"Rose" is set lavishly, thanks to director Steve Scott, who gives us a very one-sided parlor drama as the waves crash outside and the phone rings incessantly. The only question I have after viewing this production is, why now? What about this incredibly wealthy, privileged, white story begs telling in 2018? The perspective of this production never quite makes a decision on how to look at Rose Kennedy: Is she a tragic heroine not at fault for living high on the hog while she could, only doing her best to navigate a tumultuous world? Or, was her prominence an ushering in of new levels of white patriarchal complacency we are only just beginning to grasp the devastating effects of, fully?
Theater affords you an opportunity to levy your perspective on a person, a time, or an institution, but what comes through here is better suited for a documentary. Because "Rose" hovers, and never makes a statement on its subject matter, it leaves us with a rather weak punch.

*Please note that U16 and older events typically are team travel and loding scenarios. U14 and younger events require parent supported travel and lodging. I will set up room blocks at hotels, condos if cheaper, and VRBO's for team housing when most economical. Please see housing details below for each event. Camps may include U14's and are typcially a team travel and lodging scenario. Post season championship travel out of division is typically arranged through the Northern Division.
This is team travel and we will be looking into a VRBO for all athletes.
Room blocks will be released on Dec. 17, 2018. There is a 48 hour cancellation policy. If you are not sure about attending this event, please make a reservation by Dec. 17 just in case.
Northern Division also has a room block at the Blackstonelodgehotel in Lead, SD. Approximately 10 mins from above properties on Deadwood. Rooms are $69/night. Please call Dixie at 605-584-2000. Rooms will be held until Dec. 15th.
The Lodge at Whitefish Lake, many options, right between town and the Mountain.
Call 877-887-4026 to make reservation by phone. Mention Bridger Ski Foundation.
For the Speed Camp on Feb. 6&7, we typically run a van to and from Bozeman daily. For the SG training and races starting on Friday the 8th, we will get a VRBO for lodging starting on the night of the 7th through the night of the 9th. Thursday - Saturday. Stay tuned for more details.
Block of rooms for BSF February 15th – 18th in Missoula at the Stone Creek Lodge. King or Double Queen with Kitchen and Breakfast for $84.00 per night. Block expires on 1/15/19. Call (406) 541-3600 for reservations. Mention Bridger Ski Foundation.
Individual guests will make their reservations from this room block by either calling our hotel directly at 406.442.7500 and mentioning the name of the room block "Bridger Ski Foundation"
Any rooms in the room block that are not reserved by January 23, 2019 will be released back into the hotels inventory to be sold to other guests.
freshly cooked bacon or sausage, egg omelettes (cheese or western) or scrambled eggs, turkey patties for a healthier option, freshly made oatmeal every morning, Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, fruits, cereal, breads, bagels, muffins, yogurts, and hard boiled eggs. We also serve our fresh made pancakes in 1 minute every day.
Our hotel has a indoor pool and spa, 24 hour fitness center, 24 hour business center, and offers free WI-FIthrough out the property.
Continental breakfast, pool, tuning area.
This hotel is on a couple blocks from the Holiday Inn Express and off the same I-15 exit. Coaches are staying at Home2 suites.
We are currently looking into options for this event. Big Sky is great in that it is close but challenging in that there is little affordable lodging for a team. We often have folks going back and forth from Bozeman, some staying with friends, some at hotels, etc. We are working on the best scenario to stick as close as a team as possible. Back soon with more info!

What the Mid-Term Election Results Might Mean for Higher Education
While the margins in each chamber will be finalized in the coming days, this week's mid-term election results mean that, come January, the United States will have a divided Congressional government. The House of Representatives will be controlled by Democrats and the Senate will continue to be controlled by Republicans.
So, what does this mean for the remainder of 2018 and relevant education issues in the new Congress?
Lame-duck Wrap-up
Congress' main priority now is to keep the federal government open. This is typically a mad scramble at the end of the year, but, in a departure from recent history, this year Congress passed its fiscal year 2019 education spending bill (along with four other spending bills) and got it signed into law before the end of the fiscal year on September 30. While there still could be a fight in Congress over the remaining spending bills, there won't be substantive education issues to wrangle over.
Also during the lame duck period there will be leadership elections in the House. Democrats will now have to elect a new Speaker of the House for the 116th Congress. Likewise, Republicans will elect a minority leader. (Note: each party votes in their caucus this year, but the official floor vote occurs next year when the new Congress is in session.) This is important because the Speaker decides who will chair each of the House committees, like the Education and the Workforce Committee.
Finally, the Republican Higher Education Act (HEA) reauthorization bill, otherwise known as the PROSPER Act, has yet to see a vote in the full House because Republicans couldn't find the votes to pass it in their own caucus. There were rumors that perhaps PROSPER would be revived in the lame-duck session, but despite Chairwoman Virginia Foxx's (R-NC) persistence, there is no indication that Republicans will bring PROSPER to the House floor for a vote in November or December. Even if it did, the bill cannot pass the Senate, and thus voting on PROSPER now serves no policy or political advantage. But we do expect both the House and Senate education committees to make HEA a priority in the 116th Congress.
Divided Government
There are numerous implications for education-related issues due to Democrats taking over the House; here we will highlight a few. Note: most of these apply only to the House because Republicans currently control the Senate.
HEA Reauthorization: House Democrats offered their HEA reauthorization bill, the Aim Higher Act, earlier this year, but were not in a position to move it forward. Now they are. It is possible Democrats rework some sections and pass this out of the chamber. The Senate did not publicly release an HEA reauthorization bill, but this Congress will be Sen. Lamar Alexander's (R-TN) last chance to be chairman, so he has incentive to produce something in the next two years. Due to Senate rules, if he wants a bill to become law, it will need to be bipartisan. Because the House is now controlled by Democrats, any final HEA bill passed in the 116th Congress is likely to be moderate.
Committee Changes: First, the House education committee will get a new name. It will now be referred to as the Committee on Education and Labor, which is what it was called before Republicans changed it in 2011. Second, there will be a new chairman: Rep. Robert "Bobby" Scott (D-VA). Also, Rep. Foxx, the current chair, will probably be the new ranking member. Third, because a few current Republican committee members lost their seats, the composition of the committee will change. At a minimum, there will be an increase of Democratic members, but additional reshuffling of membership on both sides could occur. Finally, there could be membership changes on the Senate education committee but probably not too many. We will find out early next year.
Oversight & Leverage: With their new power, Democrats have vowed to exhibit extraordinary oversight of the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Specifically, Democrats want to focus on policies regarding civil rights laws and what they call an abdication of duty to defend and enforce consumer protections in the higher education space. For example, the House may examine how ED has handled the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and efforts to reorganize ED. Additionally, Democrats plan to scrutinize the actions of the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding oversight of student loan servicers. Democrats will now have the legal tools to compel testimony and subpoena documents at will.
Now that Democrats control the House, we can expect to see education provisions that favor Democratic priorities included in various other bills, such as spending measures. Doing so gives them leverage to get smaller education-related victories outside of HEA reauthorization. The ability to drive small agenda items via must-pass legislation cannot be overstated, and we will be watching to see how education items are enacted though this method.

Q: Get the different substrings from one main string I have the following main string which contains link Name and link URL. The name and url is combined with #;. I want to get the string of each link (name and url i.e. My web#?http://www.google.com), see example below
string teststring = "My web#;http://www.google.com My Web2#;http://www.bing.se Handbooks#;http://www.books.se/";

and I want to get three different strings using any string function:

*

*My web#?http://www.google.com

*My Web2#?http://www.bing.se

*Handbooks#?http://www.books.de

A: So this looks like you want to split on the space after a #;, instead of splitting at #; itself. C# provides arbitrary length lookbehinds, which makes that quite easy. In fact, you should probably do the replacement of #; with #? first:
string teststring = "My web#;http://www.google.com My Web2#;http://www.bing.se Handbooks#;http://www.books.se/";
teststring = Regex.Replace(teststring, @"#;", "#?");
string[] substrings = Regex.Split(teststring, @"(?<=#\?\S*)\s+");

That's it:
foreach(var s in substrings)
    Console.WriteLine(s);

Output:
My web#?http://www.google.com
My Web2#?http://www.bing.se
Handbooks#?http://www.books.se/

If you are worried that your input might already contain other #? that you don't want to split on, you can of course do the splitting first (using #; in the pattern) and then loop over substrings and do the replacement call inside the loop.

A: If these are constant strings, you can just use String.Substring.  This will require you to count letters, which is a nuisance, in order to provide the right parameters, but it will work.
string string1 = teststring.Substring(0, 26).Replace(";","?");

If they aren't, things get complicated.  You could almost do a split with " " as the delimiter, except that your site name has a space.  Do any of the substrings in your data have constant features, such as domain endings (i.e. first .com, then .de, etc.) or something like that?

A: If you have any control on the input format, you may want to change it to be easy to parse, for example by using another separator between items, other than space.
If this format can't be changed, why not just implement the split in code? It's not as short as using a RegEx, but it might be actually easier for a reader to understand since the logic is straight forward.
This will almost definitely will be faster and cheaper in terms of memory usage.
An example for code that solves this would be:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var testString = "My web#;http://www.google.com My Web2#;http://www.bing.se Handbooks#;http://www.books.se/";

    foreach(var x in SplitAndFormatUrls(testString))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}

private static IEnumerable<string> SplitAndFormatUrls(string input)
{
    var length = input.Length;
    var last = 0;
    var seenSeparator = false;
    var previousChar = ' ';

    for (var index = 0; index < length; index++)
    {
        var currentChar = input[index];

        if ((currentChar == ' ' || index == length - 1) && seenSeparator)
        {
            var currentUrl = input.Substring(last, index - last);
            yield return currentUrl.Replace("#;", "#?");

            last = index + 1;
            seenSeparator = false;
            previousChar = ' ';
            continue;
        }

        if (currentChar == ';' && previousChar == '#')
        {
            seenSeparator = true;
        }

        previousChar = currentChar;
    }
}


What this life might seem for those Arab Christians in Iraq these days must be a gloomy, realistic and desperate thought. While they know of their brothers and sisters in the West, of their military power and financial strength they do not feel even the slightest touch of aid to try and solve their desperate situation.
As ISIS rolls in, Christians are faced with a choice that they did not confront for about 1,400 years. Convert, pay or Die. The ISIS fighters are firm believers in the Islamic old ways, and they stay true to that, non Muslims are offered – just as they did hundreds of years ago, the option between paying the Jizya, converting to Islam or death by the sword.
In many terms these Christians would have been much better defended 800 years ago, when sympathy and help would arrive from Christian nations in Europe, but now their tears produce no more than 5 minute on French TV news.
The latest information is that France has offered some of the Christians refuge, maybe in hope to pathetically balance the figures of religious immigration to the country, however French Arabs – or simply Arabs in France, who are fanatics to human rights when it comes to anything that has to do with Israeli issues, do not take to the streets for their fellow Christian Arabs, or even for the Shiite community in Iraq which is fighting for its life. What a strange world this is, that an Atheist blog laments the end of Christian presence in Iraq you realize how hypocrisy and bigotry rule the Western Governments.

Sabino's Pizza Pub serves up authentic pies, thanks to 'pizza purist' owner
By Rachel Madison
David Sabino has been making Italian food—namely pizza—since he was just a kid. Thanks to his Italian grandfather, who spent every Sunday teaching Sabino how to make different authentic meals, Sabino's love for Italian food runs deep. It's also what spurred him to fulfill his dream of opening his own pizza pub last September.
Sabino, who owns the pub with his wife, Amber, moved his family to Texas from Illinois in 2014. They first landed in New Braunfels, then moved to Austin, and finally, made their way to Leander.
"It's been a dream of mine to open a pizza shop, but life has gotten in the way, whether it was getting married, having kids or moving," David Sabino said. "The timing never worked out right. When we moved to Leander, we felt like our roots were finally where they needed to be. We saw this development happening in early 2018, so we reached out to the developer and the pizza pub took off from there."
Sabino's opened at an interesting time, David Sabino said, because just as he was starting to feel his feet underneath him with the business, COVID-19 hit and changed everything.
"We had our processes down, product quality had never been better, and then COVID happened and threw everybody in the world for a loop," he said. "We never shut down totally—we did pickup and delivery—but one benefit was that people gravitated toward pizza as an option during that time. Pizza is made to be portable, and it cooks in a 500-plus-degree oven, so it's completely sanitary."
Because of that, David Sabino said pizza sales remained strong while the dining room was closed. He used the downtime to take advantage of improving processes in the kitchen and streamlining efficiency.
"It gave us an opportunity to take a step back, so we took advantage to really improve our overall operations," he said.
Now that his restaurant is fully open once again, David Sabino understands that many people are cautious to go back out, but he said his staff is ready to see a full restaurant once again.
"It's nice that people are slowly starting to come back out for dining, but you can still enjoy our pizza via take out if you aren't comfortable," he said. "But there is nothing better than having people come in, relax and have a drink and some pizza."
What sets Sabino's apart from other pizzerias is its Chicago-style stuffed pizza, which David Sabino said "looks like an inside out pizza" and can feed a crowd. The stuffed pizza contains two layers of crust stuffed with cheese and toppings covered in Sabino's house red sauce.
Sabino's also offers a Chicago-style thin crust pizza, which takes the sauce all the way to the edge of the crust and is cut into square slices instead of triangles. The dough and pizza sauce for all Sabino's pizzas are made in-house daily. The pub's most popular pizza is called "The Meats," which comes topped with Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, hamburger, bacon and ham.
Pizza isn't the only thing on Sabino's menu. The pub also serves a variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and rolls. Sabino's also just added wings to its menu, effective as of mid-June.
"Our number one item aside from pizza is our Italian beef sandwich," David Sabino said. "We get our beef from Chicago, and it's served with options of sautéed peppers and onions, and sandwich bread we make in house."
In addition to the restaurant, Sabino's also has a bar, which serves 14 beers on tap, including some from local breweries like Whitestone, San Gabriel River and Bull Creek, and 10 different wines. Margaritas are also on the menu.
David Sabino said his goal with opening the pub was to be a neighborhood hangout where families could go after a baseball game, but also where a group of friends could go out for drinks and watch a game.
"I wanted a place that was comfortable taking your family, where you could get the best pizza in Texas, and enjoy sports like nowhere else," he said. "We have 14 big screen TVs here, and we designed this place to have a family atmosphere."
David Sabino added that his pub's pizza ovens are 40 years old, which makes for the best pizza there is.
"They make the best pizza you can find because they are old school," he said. "I'm a pizza purist. I don't want to make a pizza in four minutes. I don't believe you can make a quality pizza and churn them out that fast. It might take us longer to make one, but you'll be happy with the pizza you get. We hand roll everything out, and everything is made fresh. It's totally worth the 15- to 20-minute wait."
As of now, Sabino's motto is "Not weird, not a chain, just great pizza." David Sabino hopes that motto will change in the future.
"I don't want that to be our motto five years from now," he said. "I would like to have a second and third location down the road. I'm already looking at potential sites, but not seriously yet. Right now I want to optimize what we have in our four walls here."
Sabino's Pizza Pub is located at 2082 U.S. Hwy. 183 in the Shops at San Gabriel Ridge in north Leander. The pub is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. For more information, visit www.sabinospizzapub.com.
