While Ryan Gosling always wins us over with his Canadian charm, it's time to spread the love to some of our other celeb crushes from the state of maple leaves and mounted police. These hockey-playin', denim-on-denim wearin' cuties have tickled our funny bones and stolen our hearts on the stage and screen.

Remember Me
By Steve CappsFor the Star-Gazette Beardstown Mayor Steve Patterson wants to keep minor offenses committed in the city off the criminal records of the offenders while generating additional revenue for the town. Patterson proposed a new ordinance which reduces certain offenses from criminal misdemeanor charges to city ordinance violations.
"It's called a first offender ordinance," Patterson said. "It gives the officer the discretion to charge someone, say a minor drinking, with a violation of a city ordinance instead of writing them a misdemeanor ticket and sending them to the county where they would get a fine and lose their drivers license. Something like that stays on the record and causes a lot of problems for them in the future. This way the officer can issue a citation and they will have 14 days to pay the fine. If they don't pay we can send the charges on to the county. If they do pay it stays off their record, they keep their license, and the city gets the fine money." "I don't know if I agree with the discretion part," said Alderman Kennia Erickson. "It's a short step from discretion to discrimination." "I agree," said Police Chief Roy Hurst. "If we are going to do this, it needs to be done every time. It is the only way to avoid the appearance of favoritism." Offenses which would be eligible for participation in the program include, misdemeanor assault and battery, endangerment, disorderly conduct, underage drinking, possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Fines for these offenses would range from $350-$1000. Offenders who cannot afford the fees may elect to perform community service in lieu of payment. Each hour of community service will be credited as $25 toward the fee. The proposal was received by the city council in committee. It must be placed on the agenda of a future council meeting before it can be voted on.

Rated 1 out of 5 by annie23 Very disappointed These looked so cute on the web site but were anything but when they arrived. Workmanship was very sloppy and poor, and I would never use them for my holiday table or entertaining. I would have returned them but it would have cost more than they were worth. They're being donated. February 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by nanaii Not as nice as expected. The quality of these plates is not the par of other products from this company. The glazing and painting is substandard. Had I purchased them for full price and not on sale I most certainly would have returned them. As it is I MIGHT use them this year as a disposable product. Don't bother purchasing these plates.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Louise Poor quality Not what I have come to expect from Pfaltzgraf. Painting and finish were very rough. October 24, 2012

ESPN has had a strong hold on the Thursday night viewership with its weekly college football broadcasts however that appears to have taken a major hit thanks to the NFL.
According to a report by the Sports Business Journal, ESPN's Thursday night college football viewership was down 35 percent this season from last. The network went from averaging 2.7 million viewers per game to 1.8 million viewers this season.
The NFL's decision to increase its television football to include a full-slate of Thursday night games has drastically impacted ESPN's hold on college football. In the past, the NFL has only allowed a partial Thursday night schedule with games starting on Week 10 of the season. This season, that changed as the league began showing games starting on Sept. 13.
In fact, the most viewed college football game this season occurred on a Thursday night before the kickoff to the NFL season: South Carolina's win over Vanderbilt on Aug. 30. That game drew 4.1 million viewers.
Granted, as I've stated before, some of ESPN's Thursday night college football matchups weren't necessarily going to set the TV sets on fire: Rutgers vs. USF; BYU vs. Boise State or Arizona State vs. Colorado, but I figured the rest would do better.
With the NFL and the NBA season in full swing, you can definitely see how the number of eyes on the TV sets took a hit.
It will be interesting to see if ESPN tries to beef up its Thursday night schedule to help grab some viewers or whether or not the network will accept what looks to be a growing trend.
Don't forget about Matt's Murschel's weekly mail bag. If you have any college football questions you would like answered or just issues or players you would like his thoughts on please email him at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @osmattmurschel.

Truth & Rumors > MLB
Madson unlikely to return to Philly, Angels interested

02:11 PM ET 11.25 | After missing an entire season due to Tommy John surgery, Ryan Madson finds himself back where he was a year ago -- looking to establish himself as a closer after a potential arrangement with the Phillies, the only team he's ever pitched for, fell through. Last offseason, the now 32-year-old reliever inked a one-year deal worth $8.5 million to pitch for the Reds, but never made it to the regular season due to a balky right elbow. It's difficult to envision Madson receiving more than a one-year deal this offseason as well, considering the obvious need to prove he can return to full effectiveness following the surgery. The right-hander's K/9 rate has spiked significantly the past three seasons he's worked (9.1, 10.9, 9.2 respectively) and in that time period he has established himself as a reliable option at the back-end of the bullpen.
the angels haven't have good luck any reliever aside from lee smith, nobody has been able to a conssistent and depenable closer FUENTES as a closer fail/rodney as a closer fail/ and madson is unlikely to be the right piece for the halos, know why?? he is a injuried pron-player and very difficult to guarantee any good contribution for the team,,,,
lets not forget madson agent is boras, and with boras attach a hefty contract even with the past surgery on madson elbow madson agent would ask top dollar deal for this guy,,unless if the halos add some clause where specify IF MADSON UNABLE TO PERFORM A 100% THEN THE CONTRACT MOST BE VOIDED, this type of agreements would protect both sides!!!
angels would need to be very desperate team or had run out of any other options to even think to sign a injury-prone player!!
and soriano wouldn't be the right option either, BORAS is a block between the free agent soriano and the interested teams!!!
its just funny how things turn in anaheim in the closer spot, those players DO come with higher expectations but unable to achieve any goals at all!!!
boras would like to give any team the best impression towards madson availability and healthy arm without any little problem at all, the question here is, its madson completely healed from his late surgery? and if so how can he guarante any amount of playing time?? remember when you sign a contract you should be able to perform your position as a player a 100% IF not best thing is to wait UNTIL things are completely clear and free from any farther damage!!
the halos would be better off by working hard on WALDEN AND FREIRI to develope them to a more conssistent in the closer positions,the angels shouldn't quit so earlier in this two tough relievers as is FREIRI AND WALDEN with a little adjustment in their arm angle may do the trick who knows??
He stuck it to the Reds last year, so be weary of him and sign him to a one year deal with incentives.

By the Book: 7 Baby Names Inspired by Famous Writers
Recently my husband and I have been talking more about when we might start trying for Baby #2. And while I'm not sure I'm quite ready yet, one thing I am looking forward to is the prospect of getting to name another little one. My husband actually threw out a name suggestion the other day for if we have a little boy next time around, and it has literary roots which I really liked. I'm not telling you what the name is just in case we decide to use it one day (*note: it's not on this list!), but I did want to share some other names with literary ties that I love. Here are 7 great baby names all inspired by famous writers. See if your favorite author is on this list and if not, let me know in the comments! - By Lauren Hartmann

For BMW
motorcycles, Suburban Machinery offers foot peg and handlebar adapters that improve comfort levels for both driver and passenger.
For select models of motorcycles, Suburban Machinery offers replacement handlebars that provide improved riding positions. Models include Suzuki SV650, Yamaha
FZ1, Honda 919, Kawasaki 650R, Ducati Monster.
Suburban Machinery designs and manufactures aftermarket components for motorcycles. Our primary motorcycle products are rider positioning enhancements intended to make a bike more comfortable for owners who find the factory set-up causes discomfort during extended use.
The factory designs are compromises of seat and foot peg positioning. Owners come in a wide range of shapes and sizes;
therefore, they frequently experience discomfort when riding
extended distances. Our kits provide improved comfort especially for the more mature touring rider.
Our products are designed to provide driver and passenger
comfort and should not be modified after purchase. They are
for street use only and should not be used in competition.

In the news
Almost 4 million homeowners might receive cash compensation and mortgage relief in a multi-billion-dollar settlement with 10 major banks, government regulators announced Monday. [...]
Consumer advocates welcomed the decision to replace the failed review process with a settlement that will return at least some cash to victims of unfair banking practices. But they said many problems remained. "The money is grossly inadequate for homeowners, and the program will require careful oversight to ensure that all homeowners harmed get a fair chance at benefits," said Ed Mierzwinski, the consumer program director for U.S. PIRG, a nonprofit advocacy group. "Finally, of course, we need strong federal mortgage-servicing standards to protect all homeowners from the unfair and incompetent servicing and foreclosure practices that have driven many out of their minds due to lost, wrong or even illegally prepared paperwork and forced far too many more out of their homes," Mierzwinski said.
[...] Details of how Monday's settlement will work remain murky, said Kathleen Day, a spokeswoman for the Center for Responsible Lending, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Durham, N.C. Strong enforcement provisions are needed to ensure that the money and relief are allocated in the best and fairest way possible, Day said.

Protect Wild Areas of Australia
Help protect the largest intact tropical savanna on earth in northern Australia, and protect some of the planet's threatened species who make it their home!
Covering more than 240 million acres, Northern Australia is one of the planet's last great wildernesses and boasts by far the largest and most intact tropical savanna remaining on earth. It often amazes people to learn that Northern Australia's natural richness is so great that it ranks alongside the Amazon rainforest and Antarctica's polar wilderness in terms of global significance.
Although there are small pockets of rainforest and wetlands, most of the region is blanketed by a tropical and sub-tropical savanna -- vast plains of tall, dense grasses and trees. In fact, Australia has more than 25% of the Earth's remaining intact savannas. No other country has more than 9%. A startling 70% of the world's tropical savanna has already been destroyed.
These tropical savannas are a top priority for The Nature Conservancy's Australia Program, which hopes to protect 1.75 million acres over the next two years.
Some of the threatened mammals of the area include many formerly abundant animals such as the Northern Quoll, Golden Bandicoot, the Rock Ringtail Possum and Bilby which are rapidly declining towards extinction.
Many bird species are also under threat, including the colorful Gouldian Finch, the Northern Masked Owl, the Red Goshawk, the Purple-crowned Fairy-wren, Australian Bustard, Merten's Water Monitor, Australian Painted Snipe, Squatter Pigeon and Spinifex Pigeon.
Many reptiles and amphibians could also be protected through further land acquisitions, including the threatened Pig-nosed Turtle, the iconic Freshwater Crocodile, the Giant Frog and the Bilingual Froglet.
The Nature Conservancy is working to urgently acquire and protect an area near the Fish River, in the Kimberley region. Almost 40% of mammal extinctions globally in the last 200 years have occurred in Australia. Help keep that number from rising any higher.
You can help. This Gift That Gives More™ preserves 5 acres (2 hectares) of tropical savanna in northern Australia. Plus, every dollar raised from the United States will be matched by The Pew Charitable Trusts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, doubling the impact you make!
The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.

Burlington approves higher levy request
By Jeanie Mayer For The Courier-News December 18, 2012 11:20AM
Updated: January 20, 2013 6:19AM
BURLINGTON — The village board approved a new tax levy ordinance on a 5-1 vote Monday night.
The village will request $120,000 in 2012 property taxes through the levy, an increase of 11.4 percent over the $107,718 in property taxes collected last year.
Village attorney Nancy Harbottle said the $13,000 increase is for the purpose of maximizing receipts from new development.
"The village is doing this to capture any additional EAV (equalized assessed valuation); that's the reason for the increase," she said.
Prior to the vote, the board conducted a Truth in Taxation hearing regarding the proposed increase in the tax levy.
"The purpose of this hearing is to comply with Truth in Taxation when the levy is 105 percent or more of the prior year collected tax," Harbottle said.
No public comments were received on the issue, and the hearing was closed. The board then approved the tax levy ordinance, with Trustee Betty Reiser casting the only dissenting vote.

Strategic priority 3
Build a society without prejudice, promote good relations and foster a vibrant equality and human rights culture
The evidence suggests that structural discrimination and disadvantage are exacerbated by subtle processes that involve negative stereotyping, hostility and hatred towards particular groups, and deep-set prejudicial attitudes which themselves trigger harmful behaviours. Our ambition over the long-term is to change the attitudes of a generation. We will work towards this through research, an alliance with government and NGOs, and a range of activities undertaken beyond the Commission. We will also build our links with cultural institutions to promote equality and human rights.
There is evidence of heightened segregation and a lack of shared understanding, tolerance and respect of diverse cultures, beliefs and lifestyles, as well as a sense of powerlessness and marginalisation in some communities.
The Commission will seek to reduce the general levels of prejudice in society, building on progress in some areas. For example, racism appears to be less prevalent among younger generations in Britain, though it is far from absent. There are also pressing challenges such as tackling hatred and violence directed at disabled people, lesbian, gay and bisexual communities, and transgender people.
There is sound evidence that discrimination is fuelled by prejudice, segregation and lack of awareness. Unless we address the root causes of unlawful discrimination, the Commission will find the demand for retrospective interventions 'to right past wrongs' is unsustainable. Our strategic approach is about tacking the systemic causesand effects of discrimination.
The Commission has a statutory duty to ensure that public bodies adequately address their good relations duties, yet there is currently considerable confusion and uncertainty around the legislative framework on community cohesion.
The Commission will often work through intermediary institutions such as the strategic public bodies that set policies for schools and universities. These bodies may have greater insight into grassroots barriers and opportunities. We will also develop direct channels through which we can communicate with the public.

Hi all,
I have created the basics of a small engine to play with, it's working the way I want but I am hitting a wall when it comes to an editor.
My initial plan was to use a basic winform with controls in a grid pattern that are dynamically generated on startup and use an XML file to populate the grid with the proper component for that space. It works, but is slow as @$#% (has over 1000 controls, lol, shoulda thought that one through a bit more).
So…I am interested, instead, in doing it right. I was looking at the innovation engine tutorials for a way to create an engine and then use that engine to create an editor, but the tutorials are incomplete. I have checked many, many books for a proper engine design/editor but they all seem to be focused on implementing pieces of an engine and not the whole design.
Can anyone recomend a book or site that covers rolling an engine into an editor (of your own design, I want to understand the theory and not just use something already designed like unity).
Any suggesetions are appreciated, this has been driving me crazy for a week. :wallbash:
Thx Guys and Gals.

Top stars struggle in China Challenge
Lee Westwood couldn't catch leader Liang Wen-chong after 13 holes of the Shui On Land China Golf Challenge.
However, he did come close to three Sand Tiger sharks in 'Dancing With The Sharks', Chongqing Tiandi's most famous bar.
"Very impressive. It wasn't what I expected at all. You only normally see bars like that on TV," the world number two said in Chongqing on day five of the week-long, seven-city tournament. "However, I wasn't going to dance on stage. I left that to the girls."
Ian Poulter, who shares second place with Westwood at one-under, a shot behind Liang, did rise to the occasion and the renowned showman was the only one of the four players on stage to dance in front of the enormous fish tank.
"I'd usually rather have a couple of drinks in me before I start cutting some shapes, but it was a very cool bar," said Poulter, who led for the first two days of the 18-hole tournament.
"There's three nine-foot Tiger Sharks swimming around in there so I can see why that's a hot place. It looks like they have some very interesting activities, lots of dancing, and it seems pretty lively."
The colourfully dressed Englishman, resplendent in check trousers and blue shoes, donned a face mask and even started putting on a wetsuit as he threatened to join some bikini-clad ladies in the adjacent swimming pool.
At Sun Kingdom Golf Club earlier in the day, Rory McIlroy was the only player to bag a birdie during the two holes, having struggled on the course during the first four days. The 22-year-old US Open birdied the 173-yard par-three 12th to move to six-over, while the three other players parred both holes.
Westwood came closest to a birdie at the monster 678-yard par-five, narrowly missing his first putt after a great pitch close to the flag on the event's longest hole.
"That was a long hole, wasn't it? I haven't played a hole that long for a while, plus it was wet," Westwood said.
The Englishman, who has twice been world number one in the last year, said that the players were still in high spirits after a whirlwind schedule that has included five flights in the last four days.
"It's a piece of cake, really. We're flying around on Bombardier private jets, taking Rolls-Royces and Hummers. We've stayed in great hotels. We get a great reception wherever we go, so travelling's easy," Westwood said.
"It's amazing when you visit all these cities. If golf booms in this country, then it will be huge and they will be a force to reckon with. They have good junior and Olympic programmes. Golf being in the Olympics is key to growing the game here as China has a good Olympic history in other sports, so why would it be any different with golf."
On Saturday, the quartet will play three holes in the Shui On Land China Golf Challenge at Long Island Golf and Country Club before participating in a charity pro-am.

Hiawatha is a secure and advanced Web server for Unix. It has been written with security as its main goal. It features advanced access control, prevention of SQL injection and cross-site scripting, banning of clients who try such exploits, the ability to run CGIs under any UID/GID you want, and many other features. These features make Hiawatha an interesting Web server for those who need more security than what the other available Web servers are offering. Hiawatha is also fast and easy to configure.
Loomes' Nested Set is a class that can be used to manage a tree of information stored in a database. It can perform several types of operations to manipulate a hierarchy of nodes that are stored in a database as table records. Currently, it can insert a root node, insert a node that is child of a given parent, delete a branch of nodes under a given node, delete a single node, rename a node, move nodes, check whether the root node exists, and retrieve the whole tree of nodes.
gweb++ is an asynchronous event-driven Web server and reverse proxy. It is written in C++, but it doesn't make use of the STL or of any additional libraries. It supports the following event notification mechanisms: epoll (edge-triggered, Linux), kqueue (FreeBSD), port (Solaris), poll, and select. It has the following main features: HTTP/1.1, reverse proxy, FastCGI, configurable via an XML file, MIME types support, pipelining, virtual hosts, Keep-Alive, directory listing (with an optional footer file), handling of the If-Modified-Since header, HTTP ranges, logs, configurable access logs, and log rotation.
Alaya is a primitive chrooting Web server with basic WebDAV support. It can serve HTTPS and HTTP, and can authenticate using PAM, /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, or using its own authentication files that allow for 'native' users that only have access to alaya content. It's intended to be a simple method of sharing content over WebDAV, and though it can be configured with a config file, it's easy to configure by command-line switches alone. Alaya always chroots to ensure that malicious users can't use '..' within a URL to access unintended documents, and that users can't accidentally leave documents in places outside of the chroot. It has a 'ChHome' mode that chroots users into their home directory and serves content from there. It supports .cgi scripts out of a trusted path (so not from within the chrooted WebDAV share) and read-only shared directories that are outside of the chroot (allowing access to shared content when in ChHome mode).
Jkaptive is a simple captive portal without RADIUS (and thus without total security, but at the same time without too much hassle). The reason behind this is because a lot of site administrators don't need tight security; their site is just a café that offers free Internet access on an unsecured WLAN access point connected to the Internet, and they need a ticketing system to make it cumbersome for average people to use this offering without actually buying a single coffee. Jkaptive itself just presents the login page and checks the token. The blocking of unticketed traffic is done through Linux' netfilter. As no proxy server is involved, jkaptive has no performance penalty, nor does it create problems with non-HTTP traffic. Once the token is accepted, jkaptive is out of the way of any network packets completely. For presenting the login page, jkaptive has a built-in Web server, so no additional Web server application is needed.

Zierleyn Earns Win as ORU Falls to No. 51 Arkansas
The freshman from Germany knocked off Santiago Munoz, 7-5, 7-6 (7-1) in the top flight. The victory was the lone triumph for ORU (0-6) on a day where the Razorbacks (9-3) won the other seven completed matches.
Arkansas opened the day by taking the doubles point. Munoz and Hall Fess knocked off Jason Mechali and Pedro Moreno in the top flight, while Zierleyn and Nathaniel Avery fell to Mike Nott and Victor Hoang in the second flight. Both final scores were 8-3.
Zierleyn won the feature court match in the singles competition, but ORU fell on the other five courts. Mike Ward dropped Mechali in the second flight, 6-3, 6-1, and Hoang edged Moreno on court three, 6-1, 6-0.
In the fourth flight, Fess topped Parker Allen, 6-2, 6-1, and Thomason took down Avery on court five, 6-0, 6-0. The final match, on court six, belonged to Christian Lee, as he outfought Braxton Bates, 6-1, 6-4.
ORU returns to action on Saturday, February 23, when they hit the road to face UMKC.

The first NFL preseason game is this Sunday. But really, who gives a crap? Not me. Though football is on many minds, especially those of web junkies (my dad included) who have found the new California football sensation – called the A-11 Offense – while perusing the online sports pages. The formation is a newly created offense that makes all 11 players on the field eligible to receive a pass. Yep, you heard right. All 11 players on the field are potentially eligible to receive passes.
The offense was created by Piedmont (Calif.) High School coach Kurt Bryan to help his team score against larger rivals. The players that make up the A-11 package are all wearing an eligible receiver number (1-49 or 80-99). Two quarterbacks are in the shotgun formation with a center and a tight end on each side. There are three receivers spread on each side of the center.
This formation meets the criteria for a scrimmage kick formation, meaning the defense must account for every possible receiver on each play. But to follow the rules correctly, only six of those players can actually go downfield to catch a pass. And, so far, this has been deemed legal by high school referees.
"After our first two games, some people thought we were crazy," Bryan stated on the Piedmont High School website, which in a way tries to sell the offense, "but our players and coaches kept believing in the A-11 and learning about it. Now, we have earned the right to play for the league championship against one of the top five teams in our state bowl division rankings…"
Video of this formation in action during the 2007 Piedmont High season can be seen online, and from what I can gather so far the options in this base package are endless. From sweeps to draws to all-out bombs, the offense really does keep the defense guessing.
Besides a new style of offense, coach Bryan also contends that the formation is safer and more fun for every player on the team because even the fat-boy center has a shot at catching a pass. (The real question is would a number 82 jersey fit the big boys? It certainly wouldn't have fit me in my O-Line hoggin' days.)
Don't get me wrong here, I like the idea and it is exciting. Contrary to what my naysayer roommate believes, the formation is and can be a great tool for an offensive coordinator, but does it really do everything that Bryan says it will do? The formation may be fun to run and fun to watch (hell, it may even put some points on the board), but does it really give smaller schools a better chance at competing against larger schools, as Bryan has stated? No.
The A-11 Offense is only as good as the team's depth. Smaller schools, if faced with a larger school running the A-11, will ultimately suffer.
Coming from a small high school myself, I, as did most of my team, played both offense and defense. We pretty much had everybody on the field that we had on the team all the time. Really, the A-11 offense wouldn't have been an option for us because, one – we didn't have enough players to make up an A-11 package and, two – we didn't have the mix of talent on the team to put 11 players on the field that could actually catch the ball. (Although I must say as an O-lineman, I was graced with the hands of Steve Largent, but unfortunately for me and the team I had the running acceleration of a fully-loaded coal train.)
For the A-11 to work, a team must have a depth of talent, and that is the reason why smaller schools struggle against larger ones. Smaller schools aside, the A-11 is a great idea, and I thank Bryan for finding what some would call a loophole in the high school rulebooks.
Unfortunately, for those of us who are looking forward to seeing more of the A-11, it probably won't make it any further than the high school level. The NCAA will not allow the formation because a scrimmage kick formation is only allowed if it is "obvious" that a kick will be attempted. The NFL's rules on eligibility make the formation useless.
You never know though, the formation could change the way an offense comes onto the field. Why not have everyone be eligible? Defenders would have to make more decisions. And when too many football players are made to think, often times the ship sinks.
The A-11 gets the linemen out of the trenches, though, and into fly patterns, so I say legalize the A-11 for the fun of it … if not for all the fat boys looking for a little touchdown glam!

By SHONNA MILLIKEN HUMPHREY
Given the complexity, subtlety, history and character in Cajun and Creole cooking, Maine's lack of sit-down dinner options featuring this style of food perplexes me.
The Bayou Kitchen is a popular spot with diners who favor the blend of Cajun and Creole flavors it applies to its breakfast and lunch options.
Gregory Rec/Staff Photographer
THE BAYOU KITCHEN, 543 Deering Ave., Portland. 774-4935; bayoukitchenmaine.com
HOURS: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday; 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday
PRICE RANGE: $2.50 to $9.75
BAR: No
CREDIT CARDS: All major
VEGETARIAN-FRIENDLY: Yes
RESERVATIONS: No
BOTTOM LINE: The Bayou Kitchen has been serving Louisiana-style breakfast and lunch favorites to Portland for more than 23 years -- for a reason. Until Portland has a uniquely Cajun or Creole sit-down dinner restaurant, those looking for a bayou influence must content themselves with earlier hours, but the upside of this schedule is an authentic bayou flair applied creatively to brunch favorites. Go, and I doubt you will be disappointed.
Ratings follow this scale and take into consideration food, atmosphere, service and value:
* Poor **Fair ***Good ****Excellent *****Extraordinary.
The Maine Sunday Telegram visits an establishment twice if the first dining experience was unsatisfactory. The reviewer dines anonymously.
My husband Travis maintains that Cajun food is "poor people" food (in a good way), and that aesthetic might explain why a higher-end restaurant might offer an entree or two that are Louisiana-inspired. But why we must set our watches a bit earlier and head to the Bayou Kitchen before it closes each day at 2 p.m. if we want both a Cajun menu and table service?
And about that table service? If you are a server, it is easy to be nice when the circumstances are ideal. It is tougher when your shift is about to end after a nutso morning filled with cranky and entitled-acting customers. Imagine that, just when you see the end in sight, one last party slides onto the wait list. And not just one last party, a party that orders almost every item on the menu.
We were "that" party.
The Bayou Kitchen in Portland is popular on any given weekend, but make it a holiday like New Year's Eve, and the wait creeps to more than an hour. We were the last party added to the wait list, and during the wait, we lingered outside and peeked through the bright yellow-framed windows decorated with a dancing cartoon alligator.
Sheepishly, we apologized, but the server's reaction was fantastic. She was tired and sassy, but still very friendly. Even when we gave her our order.
As we added item after item, she sighed and offered a nervous giggle, anxious about handling this final, enormous list to the kitchen staff who were, no doubt, looking forward to the end of their long shift. As we attempted to sample as many options as possible, she actually ran out of paper on her pad.
We heard "You have got to be kidding!" from the kitchen, but it was a good-humored shriek, and we never once felt rushed or like an inconvenience.
And then the magic happened. Coffee (endless cup, $1.65) was poured, hot and strong, and we got to tasting.
While the Bayou Kitchen offers brunch, emphasis is placed on the "bayou," and most items are designed with a signature blend of Creole and Cajun flair. (The differences between Creole and Cajun are too lengthy to discuss here, but know that there was ample evidence of both on the menu.)
The Chicken Piquant ($7.50) is a soup made with bits of chicken simmered in olive oil and vinegar with onions, peppers, garlic and tomato. Served over rice, the result is both belly-warming and sweet, well-balanced and delicious.
For the uninitiated, the main difference between gumbo and jambalaya is that jambalaya is a rice-centered dish similar to a paella. (Interesting side fact, if it is to be believed: Jambalaya takes its etymology from the French "jambon," or ham, which was a traditional ingredient in jambalaya's earliest days.) Alternatively, gumbo is a roux-based stew, typically made with okra. (Another interesting side fact: Gumbo is derived from a Bantu word, "ki ngombo," meaning okra.)
People often equate jambalaya and gumbos with heat, and while the heat is present in the Bayou Kitchen's versions, it is a smooth, subtle and well-portioned heat wrapped in layer after layer of flavor.
Chicken and Sausage Gumbo ($8.50) is advertised as a "Louisiana country stew with peppers, onions, okra, chicken, and Andouille sausage in a home-style gravy over rice." Add crawfish (and you should, portions are not scanty) for $3. This gumbo was roux-brown, thick and rich with smokiness.
Classic Jambalaya ($8.25) is the Kitchen's rice specialty with chicken, Andouille sausage, onions, peppers, garlic, rice and the restaurant's own "Jamba Juice." Again, add crawfish for $3, and the heat from this paella-like dish was like Goldilocks' porridge -- not too hot and not too cold; just right. (The veggie version costs $7.50 with onions, peppers, garlic, mushrooms, tomato, broccoli, rice and the same "Jamba Juice." Mmm.)

Rum: Its History, Manufature and Styles
Cocktail and spirits writer Michael Dietsch has been doing a wonderful series for the Serious Eats website to introduce their readers to serious drinking. Along with learning about new and classic cocktails they might not have tried yet, the SE readers are also getting some basic spirits education.
Are you a rum fan? (Well, Caña regulars are, natch.) What do you know about this delectable spirit? Surely more than that idiot in the instructional video that said, "rum is a liquor that comes in many different colors." Learn something new or brush up on what you already know in Mike Dietsch's primer on rum, its history, manufacture and styles.
Now, have a Ti Punch, a Daiquiri, an El Presidente or a Zombie! (By the way, a while back John Coltharp made us a Scarlet Ibis Daiquiri with two barspoons of Averna. This is a super, super good thing. We make them at home all the time. You should too.)
CLASS Magazine profiles Eric Alperin
Simon Difford's always-superb magazine CLASS (now finally available online!) returns to L.A. for a lovely profile of our own Eric Alperin of The Varnish.
I never looked down my nose at the LA bar scene though I knew that there wasn't much of a cocktail culture here. There wasn't really a programme anywhere but there was a lot of "this bartender's good, that bartender's good". That's how I met Marcos Tello - I went to Seven Grand, asked for egg white in my whisky sour and he came over to ask why I asked. A month later, Damian Windsor, Cedd Moses, Marcos and I and a bunch of others went on a roadtrip to San Francisco. I like to joke that that trip changed LA cocktail culture.

Tales of the Cocktail Sneak Preview: Sodatender or Barjerk? Lost Secrets Revealed?
Last year I had the best Ramos Gin Fizz I'd ever had in my life.
As a New Orleanian I've had a lot of 'em, good and bad. (The nadir was the one at an unnamed restaurant which should have known better; it had so much orange flower water in it that it tasted like hand soap.) I'm thrilled to see the drink being made very well around the country thanks to the craft cocktail renaissance, but my favorite place to get them is in New Orleans. It's part of what makes the city feel like home.
This particularly stunning Fizz was made at Bar UnCommon in the Père Marquette Hotel, and was made by Chris McMillian, unsurprisingly. Chris is a consummate bartender — methodical and deliberate, making perfect drinks, and entertaining you with tales and history as he does it. This one, though, this one …
Chris had been trying some new things out on me, and we'd had some classics, and even though it was late at night and I do tend to enjoy this particular drink earlier in the day, I was just in the mood. "Could you make me a Ramos?" I asked.
"Coming right up!"
I continued chatting with my friends, not really watching what the bartender was doing, oddly enough, as bartender-watching is something I frequently do. I noticed that he wasn't shaking the egg white for nearly as long as I've seen other bartenders do it, though, and I began to try to pay more attention. The conversation also demanded my attention, so I wasn't able to closely follow what Chris was doing, but I recall there being a bit of soda already in the glass as he strained the drink, agitating it gently with a barspoon as the glass filled.
He placed the drink in front of me, and I took a sip of what was the most spectacular Ramos Gin Fizz I had ever tasted.
It was perfect. Not only the balance of flavor, but the texture … holy hell, the texture was magnificent. Silky and smooth and completely emulsified, almost like very soft peak meringue, but not just on top. This emulsified texture remained consistent all the way to the bottom of the drink, with no separation at all, until I slurped the very last drops of it through the straw. Even the best Ramos Fizzes I've had separated after a bit. Not this one.
I had to gush. "Chris, this is amazing! I caught a few glimpses of you making it — how'd you get it like this?"
Chris replied that after all these years making them in the usual way, he had recently completely changed his technique after reading Darcy O'Neil's book, Fix the Pumps. "Read it if you haven't," he said with a twinkle in his eye, "and you'll see how I did it."
Intrigued yet?
Darcy is a bartender and trained chemist from Ontario, Canada whose aforementioned self-published book is a history of the American soda fountain, its rise and fall, and the myriad secrets of the sodajerk — many of which were nearly lost to history (when's the last time you saw a full-fledged, old-fashioned soda fountain?) and nearly all of which are incredibly useful to the modern bartender.
Along with the esteemed David Wondrich Darcy will be presenting a seminar called "Sodatender or Barjerk?" in which they'll review this history, techniques of the sodajerk that the bartender can use (see above), and how the techniques of the bartender — many of whom were out of work 90 years ago due to Prohibition — came into play at the soda fountain.
Want to learn some fascinating history and some great techniques to make your drinks even more amazing? If so, this seminar is not to be missed. Saturday, July 23 at 12:30pm, La Nouvelle Orleans Ballroom, Hotel Monteleone. Be there.

I think every hockey player has been in that situation, they are adding some forechecking pressure, the other team makes a bad pass, the puck comes within a few feet of the player and all they need to do is make one tight turn for a breakaway. Then comes a hockey players worst nightmare, they try to make a tight turn and one skate slides right out from underneath them. This is what we call losing an edge.
The edge again was designed to give players an edge when they need it! In the past if you lost an edge you would play the rest of the game and then go and get your skates sharpened. Now you can use the Edge Again to put the edge back.
