		Pleasant Porter was born on September 26, 1840, in the Creek Nation (present-day Wagoner County, Oklahoma), the son of Benjamin Edward Porter and his wife, Phoebe, the daughter of Tahlopee Tustunnuggee and Lydia Perryman.
		In 1899, in the midst of this crisis, Porter, an unsuccessful candidate for the office of principal chief in 1895, was elected to that office.

	Oxford Bottled Beer Database: Ash Vine Penguin Porter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The beer is a variation on the brewery's draught Black Bess Porter, and the name reflects not only the appropriate colouring of the birds in question, but also the fact that a donation from every bottle apparently goes to Penguin World at Marwell Zoo.
		The porter is a good fl, though the head is coffeeish rather than white (a muddy penguin, perhaps?), and the aroma is particularly striking and inviting, very rich, smoothly fruity with some hops, a slight chocolate scent and sweetish esters.
		The palate is firm, with burnt malt (Maris Otter is used, in various different colours), hints of plums and a fudgey quality, rapidly becoming dry and slightly tannic but very well-balanced, with a marked bitter sting in the finish.

		Pending City Council approval, Elkus hopes to add 10 tables with 30 chairs to the Pleasant and Porter streets sidewalks outside his shop from April 1 to Dec. 1, weather permitting, for a fee of $10 per table.
		Eight of the tables would go on the newly widened Porter Street sidewalk and the two on Pleasant Street are actually located on the private property of landlords Bob Thoresen and Mark McNabb, according to Elkus' application.
		Elkus said the proposal is largely supported by his landlords, who own the new Pleasant Street building, because they expected business to spill out onto the street and widened the sidewalk there to accommodate it.
