Where can I find this service bulletin with the faulty motors?
Finally, 2 technicians came this morning to replace the mode shifter and the motor. My mother washing machine is back in business.After they left, I checked the motor part number. It is one of the faulty motor which is listed in the Service Bulletin. I am back to almost square one. I cannot believe that GE is still selling the faulty motor after putting out the service bulletin almost 2 years ago. Well, have to spend more time to deal with GE or the GE authorized service company or BOTH.

Bodemeister will hang on
Joseph Schwerdt
Sun Sentinel
Had the Kentucky Derby (at 1 1/4 miles) been the same length as the Preakness Stakes (1 3/16 miles), we might be talking about Bodemeister winning the Run for the Roses. But that last sixteenth of a mile was just enough for I'll Have Another to win at Churchill Downs.
This time around Bodemeister will hold off the challenge to take the Preakness and we'll have to wait yet another year for a Triple Crown winner.
After that the field thins considerably. Gone are Kentucky Derby chalk Union Rags and Gemologist and third-place finisher Dullahan. So go with Creative Cause, who beat Bodemeister in the San Felipe and was making a move at Churchill Downs en route to a fifth-place finish.
Watch Went the Day Well
John Cherwa
Los Angeles Times
The easy thing to do is to pick Bodemeister to win Saturday's Preakness. He looks like the best horse. Triple Crown dreamers would love to ride I'll Have Another for another race.
But the best horse doesn't always win and the favorites win only about a third of the time. So that's why we're looking to Went the Day Well to wear the Black-eyed Susans. He may be only the third, fourth or fifth best horse in the race, but there is little value in the top two.
So look to box Went the Day Well with Bodemeister and I'll Have Another for the exacta. And throw in Creative Cause underneath in a key in the trifecta. But look to Went the Day Well only if you think the best horse isn't going to win. Call it racing luck.
Went the Day Well lurks
Baltimore Sun
It is natural to try to make Saturday's Preakness seem like a two-horse race.
There's Bodemeister's trainer Bob Baffert, whose intense style can seem at odds with the man who loiters near his barn, aloof and full of quips. His horse ran the big race in Kentucky but didn't run it long enough, and Doug O'Neill's I'll Have Another caught up. In O'Neill you have a self-deprecating newcomer to the Triple Crown who skipped classes as a teenager to bet on the races.
But in the end, their exuberance for beating the other will be their doom. Bodemeister and I'll Have Another will race each other, but Went the Day Well will be lurking, ready to pass them both.
Take a Creative approach
Liam Durbin
Chicago Tribune
Although he got caught in the stretch to finish second in the Derby, Bodemeister's performance impressed many people. But with odds of 2-1 or worse, he is not a particularly good value, so a decent option is to bet around him.
Looking to Derby winner I'll Have Another as the spoiler would be reasonable, but his Derby victory still stands out as a bit of a fluke. For better value, look to Creative Cause, who easily handled I'll Have Another as a 2-year-old, and was catching him in the Santa Anita Derby. His rough trip in the Kentucky Derby compromised his chances there, but the smaller field in the Preakness should level the playing field.
Take Creative Cause to win, wheeled with I'll Have another over Bodemeister, Went The Day Well and Tiger Walk in exacta and trifecta boxes.

BOULDER — Just before the holidays, Boulder senior guard Marc Krimstock suffered a major setback in his recovery from multiple skull and facial fractures that may jeopardize his entire basketball season.
Krimstock initially was injured in a bicycle accident on the way to school in early December and landed in intensive care. Krimstock appeared to be on the road to recovery on Dec. 14 as he joined the team for the Panthers' showdown against top-ranked Denver East when spinal fluid began seeping through Krimstock's nose. The senior was re-hospitalized that night and endured a lumbar drain for nine days before finally being released on Dec. 26.
After initially hoping Krimstock might be out only one month, head coach Eric Eisenhard indicated that Krimstock now will be sidelined indefinitely and may not return at all.
"We have no clue when he'll be back, or even if he'll be back," Eisenhard said. "That's not even on our radar yet. I think it will be a long road back for him and we haven't even started talking about a recovery time. Right now it's still more about just keeping him out of the hospital."

North Padre Island is a unique coastal landscape. A barrier island located
within the city limits of Corpus
Christi, Texas the island has a distinct, relaxing, coastal
style which comes from miles of open beaches, white sand dunes and protected
wetlands. Bordered on the east by the Gulf of Mexico and on the west by the
Laguna Madre, North Padre Island
has one of the longest undeveloped
beaches in the world! The island offers abundant nature, seashore
breezes, scenic views and friendly people. All this complimented by a
relaxing, laid back community of coastal homes and vacation spots nestled in
the dunes and along the waters edge.
One of the greatest benefits of
North Padre Island is location, location, location! The Island is
situated just a short 20 minute drive from downtown Corpus Christi (the 8th
largest Texas city) yet provides immediate boat access to the Gulf
of Mexico through the Packery Channel. Modern convenience
meets world class fishing, family fun and many
outdoor activities
to view and do.
North Padre Island is
separated from the southern portion of the island by the Port Mansfield
Channel. The man made channel was dredged many years ago. The Port Mansfield
Jetty is the southern most tip of
North Padre island and is accessed only by four wheel drive vehicle or
boat. No matter what method of travel the journey through Padre
Island National Seashore (PINS)
to the jetty is long and remote but well worth the trip.
The northern portion of the north padre is divided by
Packery Channel. This channel is easily accessed
and provides Gulf of Mexico access by boat. Cross the bridge over Packery Channel from Upper or North Padre Island
and Mustang Island is reached. Mustang Island ends in
Port Aransas with the Corpus Christi
Ship Channel slicing the largest cut in the island chain.
North Padre Island (or Upper Padre Island) benefits from an average annual temperature of 71.2
degrees offering year round outdoor activities such as fishing, birding,
surfing, kayaking, kite boarding, hiking, beachcombing, golfing, swimming,
tennis, horseback riding, sailing, swimming, windsurfing, camping,
snorkeling, bicycling, beachcombing, relaxing on the
beaches and more.
Being "On Upper Padre Island" is a unique experience that offers both the young and
young at heart a wonderful lifestyle and many memories. Whether just visiting or
have made the choice to become an Islander it doesn't take long to know why
"It's Good to be On Padre Island."
OnPadreIsland.com hopes to bring visitors to the
Corpus Christi ,North Padre Island (Upper Padre Island), Mustang Island and
Port Aransas area a taste of what our local
North Padre Island beaches, and communities have to offer. Look for
videos, photos of North Padre or Upper Padre, Corpus Christi, Padre Island National Seashore,
Port Aransas Birding locations (as well as birding maps of Corpus Christi and
North Padre Island) as you browse the site. On Padre Island is continuously
adding and updating our site with more information on
fishing locations and maps, North Padre
Island surf report and forecasts,
hotels, vacation rentals for Corpus Christi and North Padre Island.

Bike to Beat Obesity for The SickKids Foundation
Hello Everyone!
Some of you have known me for many years.
For those of you who do not know me at all, my name is Brock Picken, President of Brock's Ultimate Fitness (BUF).
In July of 2008, I will be cycling from Toronto, to Odyssey Fitness in Victoria, BC to raise awareness for Childhood Obesity, and raise funds for SickKids Hospital.
My event is called: "Bike to Beat Obesity"
SickKids and I share a vision, which is "Healthier Kids: a Better World". The bike ride is an estimated 2700 miles, which averaging 120 miles per day, will take me the entire month of July to complete. I will also be wearing a 'weight-suit' (weighing roughly 40 lbs), which will make me appear overweight. This is to further raise awareness, and to have extra space for sponsors logos.
I have chosen this cause, since raising awareness and funds for our obesity epidemic will move others to take preventative action. Over time, by fighting childhood obesity-related issues, we can reduce the incidence of other illnesses, such as diabetes and cancer.
Over the next 4 months before my ride, I will be making appearances in schools to educate children about the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition.
Any help at all with my quest would be greatly appreciated. To learn more about my event, or to donate, follow the link on my web site: www.biketobeatobesity.com
I would also appreciate you letting EVERYONE know about my event. The more people informed of my event, the closer I will get to my goal of raising $40,000 for SickKids.
For any questions or advice, or to book me to come to your school, please do not hesitate to call or email me! email@example.com
Yours in Strength & Wellness,
Brock Picken, President

In publications like this one, we spend a lot of time and energy clubbing EMRs and EMR vendors for the problems they cause. That's all well and good, but it's also worth remembering that some of the big problems surrounding medical operations may not be due to EMR use:
* HIPAA carelessness: When someone shouts private medical information across a room, or loses a flash drive or tablet with records on it, or leaves patient records in a public place, you've probably got a nasty HIPAA violation. But the EMR almost certainly had nothing to do with it.
* Clumsy office workflow: Sure, introducing an EMR into a clinical setting can screw up existing workflow. But was it working well in the first place? For those whose business falls apart post-EMR, I'd argue "no." Businesses that don't do well after an install had jury-rigged processes in place already, I'd argue.
* Patient care slowing down: As with staff workflow, clinical workflow can be discombobulated — badly — by an EMR installation. Learning to fit practice patterns to the system is a big job for most clinicians, and they may slow down significantly for a while. But if the patient care flow stays "broken" it's likely that there were aspects of the pre-EMR system that didn't work.
I realize that I might get flamed for saying this, but I'm pretty confident that a goodly number of problems that are laid at the feet of dysfunctional EMRs don't belong there. And that's not a good thing.
After all, there are enough poorly designed, trouble-ridden EMRs out there to keep us busy critiquing them for a century or two. Why distract ourselves by adding more to the pile when the real issues may be elsewhere?

Noam Chomsky was asked, 'What do you think of the U.S. increased reliance—President Obama increasingly using drones to attack people in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and beyond?'
He answered: 'Good comment about that made by Yochi Dreazen. He's the military correspondent—was the military correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, is now for some other outfit, a military analyst. He pointed out accurately—this after the killing of Osama bin Laden, which he approved of, but he said that there's an interesting difference between Bush and Obama. I mean, I'm now paraphrasing in my own terms, not his terms, so the way I would have said it is: Bush—if Bush, the Bush administration, didn't like somebody, they'd kidnap them and send them to torture chambers; if the Obama administration decides they don't like somebody, they murder them, so you don't have to have torture chambers all over.
Actually, that tells us something else. Just take a look at the first Guantánamo detainee to go to trial under Obama. Trial means military commission, whatever that is. The first one was a very interesting case and tells us a lot. The first one was Omar Khadr. And what was his crime? His crime was that when he was 15 years old, he tried to defend his village against an attack by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. So that's the crime, therefore he's a terrorist. So he was sent to Bagram, then to Guantánamo, eight years in these torture chambers. And then he came up for trial under Obama. And he was given a choice: you can plead not guilty and stay in Guantánamo for the rest of your life, or you can plead guilty and get another eight years. So his lawyers advised him to plead guilty. Well, that's justice under our constitutional law president, for a 15-year-old kid defending his village against an attacking army. And there was nothing said—the worst part is, there's nothing said about it.
Actually, the same is true of the Awlaki killing, you know, this American cleric in Yemen who was killed by drones. He was killed. The guy next to him was killed. Shortly after, his son was killed. Now, there was a little talk about the fact that he was an American citizen: you shouldn't just murder American citizens. But, you know, the New York Times headline, for example, when he was killed, said something like "West celebrates death of radical cleric." First of all, it wasn't death, it was murder. And the West celebrates the murder of a suspect. He's a suspect, after all. There was something done almost 800 years ago called the Magna Carta, which is the foundation of Anglo-American law, that says that no one shall be subjected to a violation of rights without due process of law and a fair and speedy trial. It doesn't say, if you think somebody's a suspect, you should kill them.'

This pledge closed over 6 years ago
This site is totally dedicated to killing wolves and just about anything else that comes into their sites. In a humane society this should never be allowed a world where even small children are encouraged to pick up a gun and slaughter wildlife. These people have no morals and abuse just about anyone to breaths a word about well I thou breathing words now I'm shouting and beg you to do the same. Yes we all know that this thing happens but we don't need it thrust in our faces. Facebook block other sick groups like child abusers and sexual predators and these pages should be on that same banned list. .

You can now touch for real the magic of cinema…
Rome for the kids
Yes its holiday time and you have decided to come to Rome. The whole family is coming and that means the kids too. However your motives for going and theirs may be a bit different.
This brings up the whole exciting issue of you entertaining them and trying not to tear your hair out at the same time. To make things a little easier here are a couple of ideas of places to go and things to do.Â
Fortunately Rome has quite a few open spaces and very nice parks. There are pedal go-karts and bicycles available for hire in Villa Borghese as well as roller-blades and the big 4 seater family pedal bikes. If your kids are still quite small a better option would definately be the family bicycles. That way you dont have to run like a crazy person after them when they pick up a bit of speed. Another spot you can also go to for some fun is to Piazza del Popolo, which is right next to the park. Here you can hire segways and go all around the piazza and down Via del Corso too.
There are also fun rides like merry-go-rounds and the other usual stuff that will entertain them and make some great memories too. There is also a bio park and zoo located in Borghese park. There is also a kids museum called Explora at Via Flaminia 60. I have seen it packed all the time with kids so it must be pretty popular.
Another really nice idea would be to take a carriage ride from Piazza di Spagna. There is space for about 5 or 6 people. Cost varies, please make sure you find out prices  before you get on and exactly how much it is going to cost to where you want to go.
There is another place to take them which is down Via del Corso. The time elevator is here and it will take the kids on a journey through Romes 2500 year history. The nice thing about all these places and activities is that they are really very close together and they are also near the other things that the big people, like you, may find a lot more interesting.
To avoid disapointment another word of advice i would suggest is to find good accomendation which is well located in Rome.

STERLING — Northeastern Junior College was the scene of a murder earlier this week.
The mock murder was part of the CSI Investigators Kids College class, for seventh and eighth graders, taught by the college's anthropology instructor Jeff Schiel. A similar class was offered last week for students in fourth through sixth grade.
During the hands-on class, which started Monday and ended Wednesday, students learned all about crime scene investigation and forensic anthropology.
Students spent the first day learning about forensic anthropologists and how they identify individuals by age and sex and estimating ancestry and time of death.
On the second day, a crime scene was staged in the courtyard of E.S. French Hall. When students went to the scene to investigate, they found the bodies of two women, mannequin dolls, who had been shot and stabbed.
After a thorough search of the scene, they found a knife, guns, a white powder, money and a bottle with blood on it. After taking blood swabs and searching for fingerprints, they determined the DNA from one of the victims was on the knife, along with fingerprints belonging to one of the three suspects; the guns matched those used to shoot the victims; the powder was salt; and the bottle had blood matching another one of the suspects.
On the final day of the class, the students used the evidence they had gathered to participate in a mock trial that included prosecutors, defense attorneys, a judge and jury.
Shouts of "objection" and "silence in the court" were heard numerous times.
During the trial, prosecutors and the defense took turns questioning crime scene investigators about what they found. They also questioned each of the suspects about where they were at the time of the crime, their bad habits and why they couldn't have committed the crime.
Then it was up to the jury to come up with a verdict.
This was the final class for the 2013 Kids College line up. Kids College is put on by the college's Extended Studies Department. To find out about the department's future class offerings, for both adults and children, call (970) 521-6900.

In the steampunk world of Victorian London, a beautiful vampire seeks out the author of Dracula–to set the record straight . . . If one is to believe Bram Stoker's legendary vampire tale, Lucy Weston is Dracula's most wanton creation, a sexual creature of the night who preys on innocent boys. But the real-life Lucy is nothing like her fictional counterpart—and she demands to know why the Victorian author deliberately lied. With Stoker's reluctant help, she's determined to track down the very fiend who transformed her—from the sensual underworld where humans vie to become vampires, to a hidden cell beneath a temple to madness, and finally into the glittering Crystal Palace where death reigns supreme. Haunted by fragmentary memories of her lost life and love, Lucy must battle her thirst for blood as she struggles to stop a catastrophic war that will doom vampires and humans alike. Ultimately, she must make a choice that illuminates for her—and for us—what it means to be human.
In the beginning, I struggled with this book, but after a few chapters I was sucked into this story. I could not put it down and I was mesmerized by the world and characters Emma crafted. This book puts vampires in another light and there is even a touch of another magical creature.
"She and I were one, Lucy and the being who had clawed her way from the grave. We inhabited the same body, shared the same mind, had the same memories."
From the first page, we are plunged in Lucy's new life. When she awakes in a coffin, she knows something strange is going on. After digging herself out of the earth, she visits her old house. Her parents and sister are gone, but she finds some clues in a book written by Stoker. It's exactly her story, but he added wrong details and she hunts him down in order to get answers.
It appears that something bigger is going on and on her way to find her maker, Lucy gets information out of different corners. Felix, a close vampire to Lady Blanchard, and Marco, a Protector. Apparently, Mordred – the vampire king – disappeared around the day she was turned. With him gone, the balance between humans and vampires is in danger. It's up to Lucy and Marcus to find him.
It won't be that easy, because danger lurks every where. It's a race against the clock and they better find Mordred before it is too late.
The first thing I noticed about this book are the rich details. The world-building is incredible and beautifully crafted. During Lucy's quest to find her maker, she gets a lot of information. At the end, everything falls together into this amazing plot. The little bits and pieces really deliver that Victorian feeling without getting too much. The background story of every character and happening was so well-thought. It's fast-paced and filled with great characters.
Lucy is very likable and clever. She is strong and the opposite of whiny. When she finds out that she is a vampire – and be aware of the fact that these creatures are unknown at this time - she manages to deal with it in a great way. Then there is of course Marco. There is a romance between them, but it develops good and it plays a small role. I liked him. Despite his believes, he opens up for Lucy and he is protective in a cute way.
There are no sparkling vampires in this book. They are beautiful, but deadly and you better watch out. I would not turn my back on them. There is this scene where vampires are fighting against each other.. believe me, that won't be a pretty sight.
The only critic I can think of, is the ending. Everything from the important storyline is tied together, but there is still room for your imagination on one detail. I wish I knew.. I will be keeping an eye on this author, because I can't wait to read another book from her.

You can mount virtually any M.2 drive directly to the card, giving you a convenient and discreet way to improve your computer system performance. Plus, the card is a vital computer add-on if you need to recover data from an existing M.2 drive, or for expanding your overall internal storage.
Leverage the speed and size of M.2 drives
This M.2 controller card lets you take full advantage of the performance and size benefits of NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) SSDs. M.2 drives are smaller than typical platter drives or mSATA-based SSDs, so you can install them in tighter areas within your computer case. By freeing up space within your computer, you'll also have more room for additional hardware upgrades.
When you couple the card with an M.2 drive, you can give your computer's performance a noticeable speed boost, enabling you to replace your platter drive with a faster M.2 SATA III (6Gbps) solid-state drive. By installing your operating system on the M.2 drive, you'll have faster access to the files you commonly use, and you can continue to use your higher-capacity platter HDD for bulk storage.
Rest assured, with simple and cost-effective data recovery
Due to their performance and size advantages, M.2 drives are commonly used in laptops. If your laptop has failed but its M.2 drive is functional, then this card can help with data recovery. Once the M.2 drive is installed and the data recovery is complete, you can continue to use the drive for storage and backup purposes.
Wide compatibility
You can also rest assured that your M.2 SATA drives are compatible with the card. It supports the most common drive sizes, including 22110, 2280, 2260, 2242 and 2230.
The M.2 controller provides additional installation flexibility with a dual-profile design that fits standard or low-profile cases, so it's the perfect solution for small form-factor or full-sized computers.
Get up and running quickly
This M.2 SSD controller card is easy to install, with native OS support and no additional drivers or software required.
The PEX2M2 is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
- Access and recover data from almost any M.2 SSD, such as drives pulled from laptops and other computers
- Connect an M.2 drive to your computer through PCI Express

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Although M.2 SSDs come in similar form factors, only an M.2 SATA drive with an NGFF B key will operate with this device. M.2 drives that are PCIe or have a different key position are not compatible with this device.
This device can adapt an M.2 SATA drive to standard SATA connections, which is not possible for a PCIe based M.2 drive. The key type refers to the connector type on the M.2 SATA drive. B key can be M.2 PCIe x2 or SATA, so it is important that you check the specifications of the drive to see if it supports SATA.
Although you can adapt a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive to connect to a standard SATA controller card, the card must support SAS commands in order to communicate with SAS drives. SAS drives have a different command set that is not present on SATA controllers.
This SATA controller card only supports standard SATA drives.
This device does not support the ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) protocol. ATAPI is required for optical drives, including CD-ROM drives, DVD-ROM drives, and Blu-ray players. Because this device does not support ATAPI, optical drives are also not supported over any IDE, SATA, or eSATA connections.
For a list of products that do support ATAPI, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_controllers_atapi_support.

Tale of missing tortoise takes new twist
An 18-pound African leopard tortoise that went missing from an Iowa museum has been found alive in an elevator in the building.
The tortoise named Cashew was discovered missing from the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque earlier this week.
It was first believed the tortoise was stolen.
The museum says a visitor found Cashew on the elevator floor Thursday. She appears to be in good health.
Museum officials said Friday that after an investigation it was learned that the tortoise escaped on its own and crawled behind a wall and was trapped.
An employee discovered Cashew but panicked at how to reveal the animal had not been stolen. Instead of revealing the new information, the employee placed Cashew on the elevator so she would be immediately found.
Late Thursday evening, the employee revealed how the events unfolded.
"The action taken by the employee Thursday afternoon was wrong," said Museum and Aquarium President Jerry Enzler. "and is not reflective of the integrity of the staff who dedicate themselves to the highest of Museum and Aquarium standards. We apologize to the media and to the community."

Fairway and AWI Honor Plymouth, MA VeteransJanuary 2, 2019 12:00 am
A Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation branch in Plymouth, Massachusetts partnered with the American Warrior Initiative (AWI) to honor two local U.S. veterans. Along with a donation, the Plymouth branch held a residential housing "boot camp" to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to best handle the home-purchase needs of active duty military members and veterans.
One of the honorees was a 35-year veteran of the Army National Guard. Fairway and AWI presented this veteran with a grant to complete the training of her service dog. The second honoree was a 17-year Army veteran to whom Fairway and AWI presented a family grant of $5,000.
Co-founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage. AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
Branch manager Eric Thorban had a fantastic experience helping host the Plymouth event. He said:
"This is my second AWI event that I have been a part of, and the impact it had on me was not diminished one bit! What Louise and Sean do time after time is remarkable. Their cause and message leave all who hear it better off as Americans."
Branch manager David Morgan loves being involved in these AWI events. He said:
"The AWI event in Plymouth, Massachusetts in early November was the second Realtor boot camp that our branch has been a part of, and what struck me again this year was the sheer passion that Louise Thaxton projects when she talks about serving veterans. In an area of the country where there isn't a tremendous amount of military bases, real estate agents can become complacent about how to properly and ethically serve our veterans, because it just isn't a large part of their clientele. Then Louise starts her presentation and you can literally feel the energy of the real estate agents explode in the room. The feedback that I get from the agents is simple: It is the best CE course that they have ever been to!"
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer any questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, please give me a call.Veterans

Note: the full set of high-resolution photos from this escapade is available on my Flickr account
What about Bob?
It started innocently enough, but it didn't quite end that way.
I'm not sure I expected it to, though. After all, when @jezmd and I hatched the idea of doing a "High Class Martini Tour" around some of London's more noteworthy cocktail caverns, it could only end in loss of sobriety and, quite possibly, much more.
I should start by saying that I'm not much of a drinker of spirits – wine has always been more my thing – but as of late, I've been trying to get my head, and my lips, around a range of liquors and cocktails that I wouldn't have even been able to sniff five years ago without recoiling violently. I have a newfound appreciation of the nuances of single malt whiskeys (thanks in part to the resource otherwise known as @cowfish and the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, also on twitter as @SMWSLondon), as well as gin and vodka in their various guises.
Anyway, @jezmd and I started bandying around ideas about this theoretical tour in the misty vapour of aptly named twitosphere and pretty soon a few others expressed interest. In the end, it was the two of us plus @chrispople, @essexeating and @vachonline who set quite an ambitious plan. Google walking maps were devised (you presumably already know I'm a geek), the stops of this whistle-stop tour were debated, and we finally arrived at that accommodating avenue called Consensus.
The plan was simple enough: we would partake in a martini at as many of the following places as possible, and in the most logical order so as not to waste valuable time walking (and not drinking). Our hit list: Bob Bob Ricard would be our starting point (as it also seemed a good place to get a bit of sustenance before embarking on our boozy afternoon), then we would visit Quo Vadis' private members club, the downstairs bar at HIX Soho, the upstairs bar at Rules (where spirit wizard Brian Silva resides), the civilized seats at Dukes Bar (overseen by the incomparable Alessandro Palazzi), and the rather recently revitalized surroundings at The Bar at The Connaught (whose Italian-led team has recently picked up some major awards in the land of liquids). LAB bar was also thrown around as an idea, but we thought there might be too many places to visit in one afternoon, so it was nixed. We realized this wasn't totally comprehensive, but c'mon, it was pretty comprehensive for ONE AFTERNOON! 🙂
The afternoon started off with yours truly meandering quietly through Golden Square, just across the street from our first target. Strangely enough, I spotted a golden elephant in the golden square and thought this auspicious moment worthy of a snap. But fare forward, travellers – no time for chit-chat.
Martini o'clock
I was late, I was late, for a very important date. Leonid (aka Bob [Bob]) had been kind enough to offer us a table at his deluxe deco diner, and had also generously offered to make our stay somewhat less of a (financial) burden, consummate host he is. Therefore we not only partook in some Bob-tinis, but also ate some Bob-burgers (but no Bobcorn, mind you – and that one's actually on the menu).
Thus, we ordered our first round of drinks for the afternoon. Well, actually a few guys ordered a pre-first round of drinks, if memory serves me right.
Chris had his eye on a perfectly translucent Bloody Mary (perhaps Bob let the vampires attack it before serving?), which I got a sip of and was…pardon me, I can't help myself…bloody fantastic.
I seem to recall Chris explaining that they exact the pure juices of tomatoes and let them extract overnight, or some such shenanigans – but the result is shockingly good, both for the shock of the lack of color and for the taste.
For my part, I ordered the Cucumber Martini, which is made of Hendrick's gin (one of my widely available favorites), cucumber and elderflower cordial. It was okay, but I thought it a tad too sweet. I much prefer the rendition over at Dukes Bar, which is better balanced in my humble opinion.
Others opted for the slightly more feminine allure of the Fresh Apple Martini, composed of apple, Manzana Verde, Zubrowka, apple juice and lemon juice. This was better and I was sorry I hadn't ordered it. But that was not such a big deal, because food was on its way.
Unlike so many other places around London, which publicly extol and actively market the virtues of their beef patties, trimmings and buns, Bob had kept his burger more on the down-low. I can't say I was surprised that it was good – most things I've sampled at BBR are pretty well executed and flavourful – but it was better than I had expected by a good mark. In fact, it was one of the better burgers I've had in London (it would probably make the top-5). Plus I love that he somehow sources Kraft Singles – which he said can sometimes be difficult – because it has that extra pang of nostalgia for me. At least he doesn't tell you the ingredients of what's in that nearly neon yellow-orange maniacal miracle of molecular mechanics, but you can find out here if you care to.
So we drank pretty well and ate even better and, with our bellies full, we were feeling confident in our ability to beat the odds and drag ourselves to all of the selected destinations. Luckily, pit stop number two was only a few steps away…
Exploring down under
Yes, we arrived at HIX Soho a few minutes later, and some eager beavers were already checking in on foursquare – as you can see from the image below (alright, alright, so was I, so was I).
A neon sign instructed us that the bar was downstairs. By the way, I think the neon artist in question is the same one who does the rather funky ones that adorn Bloomberg's London offices.
Once in the engine room, we lined up along the empty bar, ready to get this party started properly – no food this time, you see. I had never been here before and, while I liked the way the upstairs dining room looked (based on my 5 second peek-a-boo), I did find the downstairs bar slightly odd. It felt as muddled as one of their premium drinks: mostly modern with monotonous white tiled floor, glass walls, stainless steel bar, fairly random slimline chairs, and then a token gesture of warmth layered on top in the form of a pool table (too squeaky clean), an oriental area rug (which just looked odd), a few soft chairs, an old-looking leather couch and various other elements…suffice to say, it just wasn't working for me. But hey, we were there for drinks, not décor, so we made our orders with the very professional looking barman.
Said barman began preparing our beverages of choice. He was very silent and exacting, and took a very long time with them – so I was expecting something out of the ordinary.
One nice touch at HIX Soho is that they serve each drink in its own unique vintage crystal glass. They also chill the rest of the drink in its own silver vessel, which lies submerged in a glass of ice.
I generally prefer vodka martinis so that's what I ordered. I thought it was okay, but it was simply too warm (despite all the ice?!), and therefore didn't work for me. The flavours weren't bad but the temperature killed it.
@Vachonline decided to get dirty on us, and his choice of drink is pictured above – I recall that he liked it but didn't love it…and that seemed to be the general consensus here.
Some brave cowboy had decided to order some of their quail's egg shooters – we had heard they were good (or strange, I can't remember), and were therefore intrigued. Composed of the eggs (of course!), streaky bacon, chives and sea salt, they were certainly odd and not completely appetizing for some reason. If you want more details (I don't), you can see @gourmetraveller's post on them, and other Hix creations.
We left on that savory note and wound our way to the next station on the Tipple Express train.
Cocktails fit for a duke
Our plans to visit another Soho haunt were scuppered as we weren't able to wangle bar seats at Quo Vadis' private members club. So we scratched that from our rapidly deteriorating memories and marched on to the posh backstreets of Mayfair. I was informally leading the gang to my own favourite martini hideaway, the serene surroundings of historic Dukes Bar.
As we passed by another surreal looking elephant – okay, it probably didn't look that surreal, but I had a fair amount of 'spirit' in me by that point – I couldn't help remember the slightly terrifying scene from Dumbo (well, it is terrifying when you're 5 years old!) where the pink elephants are on parade – was I that little pink elephant leading the others?
"Look out! Look out!
Pink elephants on parade
Here they come!
Hippety hoppety
They're here and there
Pink elephants ev'rywhere
Look out! Look out!"
The lyrics seemed apt to say the least…
We were heading into a place whose denizens are mainly hedge fund managers and rich American businessmen. Yes, this is the place that supposedly inspired Ian Fleming for his "shaken not stirred" martinis, and they are quite simply the best I've had to-date, probably aided by the fact that they are served by the legend that is Alessandro Palazzi, my favourite barman in the world. So you can see I a biased…but not without good reason. (For more details, you can see a previous post on the place here).
I had pre-warned Alessandro that we were coming and he assured me he would "take care of you boys", so I knew all would be well, and all manner of things would be well.
While this trolley doesn't actually hail from 1908, the bar does, and they are famous for preparing your drinks in front of your eyes as you sit and marvel at their modest magicians.
We were welcomed with the ginormous green Italian olives I have come to love, and also some silver bowls of salty crunchy things that taste great and make you want to drink more. These are bottomless and come included in the (rather steep) price of a martini at Dukes. But let me tell you – and listen well – one Dukes martini will do more damage than two at most other places.
The Dukes martini is actually very simple in its conception, as are many of the best things in life. It all starts with frozen glasses. The vodka and gin are also frozen at a special constant temperature, ice is never used, and the martinis are never shaken (or stirred for that matter).
As we nestled into our new surroundings, Alessandro entertained the gang with anecdote after anecdote about his favourite cocktails, a few of his secrets, his travels and other manner of things.
The vodka they normally use for their martinis is Potocki, which comes from Poland and purely expresses the charm and full flavor of that country's rye.
For gin, they often recommend Beefeater's Crown Jewell which, as I understand it, has sadly gone out of production. It is known for its intense aromas and also its very high ABV.
Some of us were starting off with the Dukes rendition of Ian Fleming's Classic Vesper, which is made from the aforementioned gin and vodka, plus Angostura Bitters and Lillet. There are some secrets to this original version, but I suggest you get yourself down to Dukes and discover what they are for yourself as there are many (and generally not very good) pretenders to the throne.
Alessandro put the final touches on our Vespers and we were off.
As we were having such an amazingly relaxed and enjoyable time, we went for a second round of drinks. For this, Alessandro suggested the gin lovers in the group we taste one of his favorite newer gins to hit the scene. It's called Sacred Gin and it is distilled by a guy named Ian Hart in Highgate (Norf London) in his own micro-distillery that is housed within, well, his house. I won't say much, but I thought it was phenomenal. You should really read some of the articles on his website as it is quite an interesting story.
Anyway, the next round of drinks was poured and we were ready for double trouble…
There was a mish-mash of martinis and other drinks abounding:
After another hour or so of leisurely conversation and the revelation of a few of Alessandro's secrets (see below), we decided we should be making our way, even though I don't think most of us thought getting up was a very good idea at this stage.
In my opinion, the drinks were – as usual – little short of astounding. They had wonderful balance, finesse and beauty, and I think most of my companions would agree (if not, speak up). We asked Alessandro who he reckoned were the best bar men (and women) in London, and after naming Brian Silva (who inspires even him), we really thought we should pay Rules' bar a visit. But sadly Brian wasn't there on that day, so we opted to traipse over to Alessandro's other recommendation, "The Bar" at The Connaught. As he is quite friendly with them (hey, they're also Italian), he called ahead for us and made sure we had a seat…he also asked them to "take care of these boys"…you've gotta love this guy!
Posh Italians with white gloves
As we crisscrossed the fine streets of Mayfair, we minded the sign on the side of the pedestrian crossing leading up to The Connaught – what is it with this country and its road signs? How could a pedestrian need to mind a 'low tree', and it wasn't even low to begin with?!
Okay, this bar was, in a word, bling. This is where you'd take a girl for a drink if you wanted to impress. Somehow we didn't quite fit in, but we weren't in a state to care about that at this point. We just wanted our drinks.
Yeah, bling.
The Connaught was so refined, we even got a liquid amuse bouche before our drinks were prepared. I vaguely remember it was fruity, refreshing, nice and not alcoholic. The munchies were also good, sweet roasted nuts and black pitted olives, although no way as good as those monster green Italian olives at Dukes.
The exceedingly professional staff must have been in quite a quandary with our motley crew occupying prime position at the dinky round table smack-bang in front of the bar.
Therefore, they decided to poison us. But at least they had the good humor to let us choose our particular poisons. I seem to remember for some inexplicable reason that I went for grapefruit and vanilla…and I'm meant to have a palate.
At The Connaught, they shunned Bob in favour of these bitter bottles.
They do take their drinks very seriously, and even donned white gloves as they carefully measured out the dosages.
They also seem to really like Tanqueray No. Ten, but I didn't have it as I opted for vodka.
They then fiddled around with the other necessary components.
Adding vodka for me.
Then a bit of a high-wire show.
I didn't get a great shot of the drinks, but they were very pretty.
In a nice (if slightly corny) gesture, they let us take a recipe card home with us so we could try it for ourselves.
As I said, they certainly take their cocktails seriously here, but somehow it was lacking in soul – it was almost as if they were trying to show off how good they were, rather than allowing their guests to discover this slowly for themselves over the course of a few drinks – which I much prefer.
After paying up, we stumbled out back onto the surprisingly bright streets of Mayfair and headed our own ways , vowing to organize a "High Class Old Fashioned Tour", on the back of the outstanding Old Fashioned(s) served up at Dukes.
As Mr. T said, "I pity the fool[s]." 🙂
Long live these libations, I say.

Party Girl
it´s Moni here and it´s my turn to show you a little something today ... I´ve made a very very pink card and therefore I used the sweet image Party Girl of the Girlie Stamp Collection.
I also selected a heart of the Clear Stamp Set Cute as a Button and another little Sentiment of the Circular Sentiment Set Dreamy Days, which you also can get at the shop of Lili of the Valley.
Sending happy smiles and lots of hugs

Commenters candy!!
Good Enough To Eat :)
Happy sunny morning peeps.
Dawny P here and it's another lovely day. It almost feels like Summer and what better thing to have when it's sunny than …
Strawberries :)
And that's just what we have for you today as my card features Strawberries which is one of the brand new release, now on sale.
The image was coloured with Copics and these are the shades I used -
Leaves – G99, YG0000, YG01, YG03
Berries – R05, R17, R27, R59
Container – E50, E81
I know from the Copics workshops I've done that some people are a bit scared of using reds, but honestly, it's so easy and this image is about the best I have ever used for reds - you can get a really good result as there are no teeny tiny small areas.
So this is how I coloured the berries on this beautiful image -
- Go over all the berries with a layer of R17
- Add shading detail with R59 – just small amounts here and there and mainly where the berries meet the leaves
- Blend together using R27 but don't go right to the edge of the berries
- Go over everything with R05
A few tips to bear in mind when using reds are -
- Make sure that you use only good quality card stock – the one that most of us use can be found here
- Don't over-wet the card. It may be better to allow a little time for the inks to dry before adding the next layer of colour.
- If you do get bleeds, don't try and fix them with the blender pen whatever you do as this will make it worse. It's better to go around the edge of the image with a contrasting pen as this will cover up any small imperfections and also make your image 'pop'.
I hope that you've found this useful and thank you for stopping by today.
Happy crafting and hugs to all xxx

Investors in Paris Hilton's 2006 box-office bomb "Pledge This!" claim she owes $1 million in restitution for supposedly not promoting the movie enough.
The investors asked a Miami federal judge Thursday to force Hilton to repay her fee from the film. They contend she ignored at least nine requests for interviews and other promotion events in violation of her contract.
Hilton's attorney says she did everything required of her and owes nothing. Hilton was not in court Thursday, but testified last summer that she met her promotion obligations.
U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno previously rejected the investors' effort to sue Hilton for $8.3 million in damages. Moreno did not indicate when he would rule on the restitution issue.

Karmin Will Be On 'SNL' In February
After making a splash on youtube with their 'Look At Me Now' cover, Karmin will be crashing urrybody's party on 'Saturday Night Live'. The Feb. 11 episode, hosted by Zooey Deschanel, will feature a live performance from the hip-pop newcomers.
2011 was an exciting year for Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan. After a video of their cover of Chris Brown's top-ten single got hella attention due to both their talent and adorableness, they've got an original single and a record. Now, they are poised to get even more attention with the 'SNL' debut.
Will the duo treat America to another one of their spot-on, charming renditions of a hip hop hit, or will they have us dancing in our living rooms to an original tune from their upcoming album? Hopefully both, as 'SNL' musical guests usually get two songs per episode.
And while we're wishing-on-a-star, here's hoping Deschanel will treat us to her best Katy Perry impression. They do look alike, don't you agree? This is the best excuse to stay in on a Saturday since Hurricane Irene.

OneWord is a prompt site I like very much. Sixty seconds to write about one owrd. In this case, it's wealth.
If you hard it all, what would you do with it?
He rode the bus to a place of business he hated, seething silent as menial tasks were completed for bosses who didn't give a shit. He rode home to a place where shabby was a step up, cracked plaster and stains and roaches crawling the walls.
On a mattress on the floor, he crossed his arms and laid his head in his palms, staring into the darkness, dreaming.
Counting the hours. Making the anticipation that much more delicious.
The Power Ball drawing was 348 days ago, the largest pot in the tri-state area. No one had yet come forward to claim the big check, the wealth. At 366 days, the ticket was worthless.
A smile spread across his face. He still had time. Moments to savor his shitty lot in his current life.
He looked at the Bible on the nightstand, licked his lips. His winning ticket was tucked in it, slid safely into Ecclesiastes.
