New Favoite Corned Beef Hash & Eggs @...
- Servorg Jul 30, 2011 08:31 PM
...Pann's! Unbelievably good...Out of this world good. Huge chunks of delicious, melt in your mouth corned beef and potatoes fried up with that wonderful crusty char...and all made in house...along with 2 beautifully prepared eggs over easy (yolks done runny and whites set) and fried tomatoes with a Pann's biscuit. Man did I roll out of there a happy man just 25 minutes ago. Plus we had Penny as our waitress and that always makes my day go better.
I can't really defend the fact that I've never tried their corned beef hash before, but now that I have it's going to be a toss up between the patty melt and the CBH. Penny did mention that they didn't always offer it at night, but now they are doing it all the time. She also made my day by bringing some of their "house made" orange marmalade for my biscuit. Nirvana...Bliss...Joy
My wife had her usual 6 wings and waffle combo. All in all, another Pann-tastic dinner experience at the Googie Palace. I love Pann's!

re: mrshankly
That scrapple question does get asked once and again over the years here. I don't think we've ever had a real "aha discovery" recommendation for it that I can recall. I've linked some of the old threads in the past, but nothing really jumps out at me in terms of someone saying "this is the place for scrapple."
Where else do you love the CBH by the way? I hate to think I'm missing out on some nirvanic versions at places that I eat at, or even live close to, but haven't pulled the trigger on it there.
re: Servorg
I've yet to find a CBH locally that I loved except for Pann's. My criticism is usually like yours about Brent's that they're either too lean or not enough heartiness with potatoes and flavor. I remember Langer's used to make a good CBH but I haven't tried them lately and their flagship offerings (pastrami, etc) have been hit and miss so I don't expect an extraordinary CBH. If you're traveling up north, Bette's Diner in Berkeley has outstanding CBH and scrapple along with some of the best pancakes anywhere... that is, if you have room to eat after indulging in Top Dog and the Cheeseboard.

re: mrshankly
I'll have to try Langer's CBH one of these days (it's just so difficult going against the pastrami sandwich). Just as a gauge of excellent CBH I agree on Bette's (have had several times when up that way) and my all time favorite is the one that they serve (and hopefully still do) at the Heathman Hotel restaurant in Portland Oregon.
I've had the SW Diner in Culver City house made version, and while it's not bad it didn't ignite my jets. I liked the one I had recently at the Kettle in Manhattan Beach (again not bad but not scintillating).
re: Servorg
I just may have to book a trip to Portland:) Thanks!!
re: Servorg
I think I'd rather get the canned CBH option at S&W. Their homemade is almost as weird as their biscuits. I mean, CARROT??
re: Will Owen
S&W is idiosyncratic, but I think their "build a breakfast" is the best deal in town. They do eggs as ordered, their pancakes are very good, and I do usually order the CBH. I agree with you, though maybe not for the same reason -- they either won't or can't get the homemade CBH as crispy as I like, but that isn't a problem with the canned. Best is to go with someone so you can split the pancakes and share the hashbrowns and toast.
re: nosh
I really love these guys; their food is good, but not as good as they think it is, and that's too bad. I wish to hell I lived close enough to be a regular customer and maybe try to lean on them a bit. I'd also need to team up with someone who eats pancakes, since I pretty much gave those up 40 years ago.
re: mrshankly
Scrapple is hard to find even outside of certain regions of Pennsylvania.
I'm from New Jersey and although I remember seeing it occasionally on diner menus, it was not a fixture the way it is in PA. So if it's tricky to find in NJ, I'd wager it's all but impossible in CA.
Mr Taster
Good to know. I've had some very bad corned beef hash lately (late night/early morning at Izzy's - ugh. Yeah, I know, but they're open late and I was famished and weak) - and this one sounds like it excels where that did not - should have a nice crispy crunch (which was MIA at Izzy's). I had a decent version at a brunch at Kate Mantilini, but still didn't nail the sweet spot (but much better than Izzy's which was kinda gross. Even their home frieds lack any kind of crisp and only browned in a handful of spots. )

re: foodiemahoodie
The very last (hopefully) time I ate at Izzy's some 3 or 4 years ago I had the CBH. Forgettable in a "open up a can and feed it to the dogs" sort of way. I left vowing never to return. So far, so good (and this from someone who cherishes the few 24/7 places that L.A. sports where you can get breakfast any day at anytime).
My two favorites corned beef hash dishes are at Brent's in Northridge, nice and cruchy with just a little bit of potatoes, and The Original Pancake House in Redondo Beach. There is also a nice duck hash at the Zengo weekend brunch in Santa Monica.

re: wienermobile
Brent's seemed great to me as I first started eating it, but two things worked against it finally. Too lean corned beef and too little potatoes to cut some of that leaness, and a bit too finely chopped corned beef (okay - so 3 three things). Even after I mixed up my eggs in it and put on some hot sauce and a bit of ketchup it was just too dry &.too much of a meat thing. I am still planning on getting to Zengo for the brunch.
Have you tried the CBH at Pann's, wm?

re: wienermobile
"...but I love their patty melt."
Which is why I paid homage to it in my post that started this thread...I was just excited to find another item that I could love as much as the PM, and now I have.
re: wienermobile
Oh gosh, that duck hash was wonderful, just great, and I am not a huge fan of homemade types of hash, we actually enjoy the canned stuff, though I do cook it in patties, and brown them really, really well since we enjoy the crispy crunchy bits also. The only homemade version of CBH I really loved was at the Four Seasons in NYC, but I would've loved an old shoe in that suite.
Anyway, wiener, I know you've talked up that place in Redondo a lot, so next weekend I am determined to try the Original Pancake House. Any tips on fighting the crowds? Can we reserve a table? Do we have to go wicked early? And is it street parking only or is there a lot? TIA!
re: Phurstluv
Not long of a wait before 10am and then it starts to grow sometimes as long as an hour, You can not reserve a table, it's first come first serve. They do have a parking lot behind. My favorites are the 49er flapjacks (very thin and chewy and my favorite in all of LA), their giant apple pancake, the hash, the omelets (they bake them so they rise about 2 inches) and the pecan waffle. Enjoy.
and if you can't make it they will be part of J. Gold's Pancake Breakfast on Aug 28th.

Thanks for the write up. I've never even noticed the CBH on the menu before. We usually go to Pann's when my wife has the cravings for a fried chicken dinner. I like eating breakfast for dinner sometimes but have a hard time not getting some chicken.
Maybe next trip, CBH with a side order of four chicken wings.

Yet another reason for me to make a way overdue trip to Pann's. My local CBH standard is the very flavorful version at DuPar's (Take note: At Farmers Market, portions are consistently more generous on the swing shift) and, within the hash family, the killer roast beef cousin at Pacific Dining Car which gets bonus points for doing proper basted eggs.
re: wienermobile
Ok, now I'm confused. Which is it, Uncle Bill's or Original Pancake House?? I can't recall which one now that sounded really good.......can you elaborate on both for me please? Or if too off topic, feel free to email me off line. I really would like to take the fam out for breakfast at one of these places. Thanks, again!
re: Phurstluv
Nothing off topic about discussing local restaurants, plus everyone here can benefit from the knowledge. So please, do all the discussion of Uncle Bill's and the OPH here. I want to read along!
re: Servorg
You da Man, SO!!
re: Servorg
If you haven't had OPH's CBH, then it's definitely worth a try. I used to go to OPH regularly before I moved up to LA. The CBH was always a fave. I'd always be torn between sticking with the standard side of potato pancakes or substituting the blueberry pancakes which I absolutely adored. And if I was feeling particularly decadent, I'd get a side order of the thick sliced bacon even if I did get the CBH.
I've only been to the Redondo Beach once and it seemed up to par. Wish it was closer, way too tough to get there early enough on a weekend to beat the crowds. No way I can do it on a weekday.
re: Phurstluv
At Uncle Bill's in Manhattan Beach the long wait on weekends begins early. No parking except on the street so use the underground metered Metlox parking lot two blocks away. Very causal Hometown diner kind of place, first come first served, 1/2 the table are out side with oceanview patio, I love their cheddar bacon waffle but westsidegal loves their cheddar bacon french toast. So try both and tell us who's right.

re: wienermobile
Thanks very much, my Friend!! Will let you know when we make it down there!!
Although I've never had it, I understand that the Original Pantry makes a superb CBH. Can anyone confirm or refute?

re: curiousgeo
Penny said that they have had it, but not all the time and especially not all the time at night. So, since I've somehow overlooked it (but since we normally go at dinner time that may not be totally a surprise) I don't really know the situation as far it being on the menu online or even on their menu in house. Penny told me about it when we sat down and I said "Let's do it" and glad I did.
Even thought it's not in the LA area, if you ever get up to Santa Barbara, you need to go to Mesa Cafe ( 1972 Cliff Drive Santa Barbara, CA) and try their CBH: outstanding! Excellent ratio of corned beef to hash. The consistency is chunky/rough chopped as opposed to the cat food consistency most places serve up. I do believe they corn their own beef in-house. The best way to order this IMHO is eggs over easy, w/ hash browns crispy, side of cornbread with honey.
re: Riccardo
I'm glad to know their breakfast items AND the biscuits are now available anytime; they apparently used to bake just so many biscuits in the morning and run out before noon. I do look forward to trying their hash. Sounds a little like the stuff I got at Linn's in Cambria a few weeks ago, which also sounds like what Forest44 had in SB.
My mom used to make baked CBH and eggs for supper, which we'd always have with spinach. All canned, of course, except for the eggs. I liked that very much.
Just one note: On Monday, I brought few co-workers to Pann's for a departing breakfast before their noon-ish flight. After seeing several copies of Thi's digest of this post in their window, I sat down and ordered the CBH, but was denied. It's mostly a weekend thing the waiter said when he came back from checking with the kitchen. I did note it was not on the regular menu handed to me.

re: Mattapoisett in LA
Maybe that explains why Penny said they are serving it at night now, but meant the weekend nights. We almost always go Saturday night (once in a great while we go on Friday night). Sorry for the confusion Matt. Thanks for the clarification.
re: jessejames
It turned out that for CBH they are doing it only on the weekends, (weekend nights included now). I had gotten the wrong impression from what Penny had told me. Sorry you didn't see the post just above yours as to that issue...
re: Servorg
I was at Pann's tonight (Friday night) and when Penny came by to say "Hi!" I asked if they were going to have the corned beef hash this weekend. She told me she wouldn't know until Saturday so I guess it's not an automatic on the weekends. I guess the best plan is to call and ask. Not to highjack this thread but I got the fried chicken wings and waffle. Ken who served me brought it out with the regular syrup and in addition some blueberry syrup they are "trying out." Normally I don't use blueberry syrup, but my curiosity was piqued. Lightly sweet with noticeable blueberries. I'd be interested in the opinions of blueberry syrup lovers. I'd probably resort to my regular syrup most of the time, but I thought the blueberry syrup was pretty nice.
re: Feed_me
I forgot to mention that Penny also brought out some of the blueberry syrup with the house made orange marmalade (maybe they are both new offerings since I haven't seen either before?). As a topping for my biscuit I thought it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. But now thinking of it to top the waffles or pancakes it makes a lot more sense.
Also thanks for the heads up on the CBH availability. Really I was in such nirvana eating it I did a really bad job of houndly sleuthing about when they were offering it. Mea culpa...
I did a short "second" review of Pann's CBH and eggs from my breakfast this morning and it can be found here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7937...

Vivid Named Studio of the Year- XCritic Consumer Reviews
We took a bunch of hot chicks to the beach including Remy LaCroix and Jessie Volt, and grabbed some of the biggest-dicked studs we could find, a couple tubs of lube, and had an ass-fucking fest you won't soon forget. While waves crash against the shore, balls smack against asses, without a condom in sight. Aleksa gets pounded on a staircase, Mr. Pete slams Mia Lelani right in a hallway, while Remy gets it in the living room and Aria opens the brown-eye in bed. You can almost smell the ocean from your monitor. And that's the way ButtWorks works.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A Cape Coral neighborhood is at war with a flag thief.
People living at Sunward Condominiums on Santa Barbara Boulevard say six American flags have been stolen again and again over the past few weeks.
"It sickens me. Sickens me," said Bea Lehne, a resident at Sunward Condominiums.
In the past two weeks, thieves have stolen the American flag three different times from the front of Sunward.
The first set of flags were stolen October 20th.
"I was flabergasted. I couldn't believe it," said Tom Lehne.
Lehne is the President of the Sunward Condo Association.
After the first two flags were stolen, he went out and bought two more.
Then a few days later, the thieves struck again.
"I said they are gone again. My wife and I both weeped," he said.
Angry, Tom went out and bought two more American flags.
This time though he screwed them into the holder.
Still it wasn't enough to stop the thieves.
They struck a third time.
"It's mind boggling to my wife and I. I can't believe it," Lehne said.
Since the flags were screwed in, the thieves snapped them off.
Broken wood remains.
"It just makes me cry. It makes me extremely upset," he said.
According to Tom everyone living at in the condominiums are upset.
But for him and wife Bea it's more personal.
Tom is a Korean War vet and the two view the American flag as sacred.
They even got married on Flag Day 1952.
For someone to steal six American flags, three different times, really hurts them.
Police are investigating.
Despite there being a spotlight that shines onto the area where the flags are hung, Tom says no one saw or heard anything the nights the flags were taken.
Refusing to give into the criminals the condo association is plans on putting up more flags.
"You're not going to win. You're not," Bea Lehne says is her message to the crooks.
People at Sunward Condominiums hope to have new American flags put up by Veterans Day next week.

Comicpalooza's Grand Resurrection

Dumb Reasons to Hate Presidents

Nature is an active force in the South. Indigenous live oaks, Spanish moss and the ever-present kudzu flourish. Snakes, possums and raccoons populate the countryside. The impenetrable atmosphere softens form; nature pulsates with a quickened cycle of life. This is not a passive environment, but one that imposes itself on the the men and women who live within it, people defined by a strong sense of place and obsession with the earth. The embodiment of this identification with the land is the flat, alluvial plain known as "The Delta," a tortured crescent of farmland in north Mississippi traditionally acknowledged as beginning in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis and extending south to Catfish Row in Vicksburg. Integral to this sense of place is a veneration of the past and tradition, a veneration with the notion of family -- blood and friends (or familiar enemies) -- at its core. Virtually all the verbal narrative that has poured from the region in the past 60 years is powered by, and reflects upon, the ancient nexus of blood and the close relations of a rural/village world of family and neighbors.
It's simplistic to suggest that in this region, which has embraced a variety of artistic and literary styles, there could be a single Southern voice. However, the South has always held an attraction for people interested in great stories and prone to a certain susceptibility to illusion -- William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, James Agee and Truman Capote are just a few who come to mind. We see in their works a wedding of magic and nature, a blend of myth and reality that finds its antecedent in the great Southern oral tradition -- chronicling a very real time or place, but also throwing in a dose of imagination for good measure. Their stories convey the tragedy and shared guilt brought by the endless legacy of slavery, the horrors of Reconstruction and a fragile, uprooted life.
Native photographers like Clarence John Laughlin and Ralph Eugene Meatyard often attempted to do in visual terms what the writers accomplished in words. In all their images -- human, architectural, landscape, surreal -- and in the photographs of their successors, these witnesses surrender to the South's demand to be seen and understood as a compelling, even noble story. And the South continues to offer an almost infinite braid of urgent stories, all waiting to be retold in fresh voices or to be uncovered as revelation.
What do these people eat? What do they grow in their gardens? Where do they worship? What animals do they keep? What games do they play? What is it about their lives that constitutes hope or joy? These are the questions Beaumont artist Keith Carter raised when he began photographing in Mississippi's Tunica County. One of the poorest counties in the United States, it lies along Highway 61, known as the Blues Highway for the scores of musicians who, like itinerant preachers, made their way out of the cotton fields and spread the blues gospel north. The spirit of these Delta people is in their music; Carter uses those roots metaphorically in the photographs, aiming to play his camera like a guitar or harmonica, bending a note here and there or hammering a chord into a rhythm.
Still, Carter doesn't go looking for objectively important themes. He is interested chiefly in what he sees, and what his camera can do with what he sees. His raw materials are light and time, and any examination of the work must start by observing how he manipulates them. These are the obsessions of Southern literature, too. Without pretending to occupy some high moral ground, the South's great writers address the sorrows of rootlessness and weakened attachments. The land is a great provider, they all say; it is the essential provider, and we fool ourselves to think we can put it behind us.
Taken literally, "On Higher Ground" -- the title of Carter's series of 40 black-and-white photographs at the Houston Center for Photography -- offers a penetrating vision of Southern reality. After all, the extractive nature of cotton farming is a process that can be as ruinous to the land as strip mining. As such, Carter's poetic images are not nostalgic or sentimental, but subtly evoke the brutal realities of Southern life and history (and its survival in the present world) at the level of the pain of individuals whose lives have been distorted or wasted. His subjects are not "the mute face" of much Southern documentary photography; they manifest a search for life itself. Like Walker Evans, whose images often walked the line between a literal photographic description and a faith in the validity of intuition, Carter's images possess a taut athletic grace, an inherent lyricism that gives them a life in metaphor. Even if Carter's subjects are humble people, they are never ordinary. They seem to endure a world which is far stranger and more fascinating than we can imagine, a wild and exotic land of stirring psychological implications wherein the reality we think we know is only a small part of the total picture.

"Mela" means "gathering" or "fiesta" in Sanskrit, a fitting name since those are the kind of events that the restaurant facilitates with its traditional and very sharable feasts. The housemade breads, which range from flat naan to balloon-like poori, whet appetites for seasoned-to-order entrees, ranging from mild to spicy depending on the diner's palate and how convincing they want to be when fake-crying. The eatery's tandoor, a traditional clay oven, roasts dishes such as chicken tikka masala and tandoori shrimp; alternatively, curry dishes such as the spicy lamb vindaloo complement kebabs and succulent chunks of meat or veggies sitting atop beds of basmati rice infused with cashews, raisins, and saffron. A full bar rounds out the menu with domestic and imported beer, wine, and liquor that can wash down à la carte meals, buffet-style lunches served seven days a week, or buffet-style dinners that delight palates Sunday–Wednesday.
As an arm of the popular Mustafa Asian & Middle Eastern Grocery, Mustafa Restaurant plies patrons with deliciously authentic dishes of South Asian cuisine from all regions of the subcontinent. Siblings Syed Riyaz Siddiqui and Mohammed Fayaz charm visitors with an expansive bill of fare filled with nutty roasted basmati rice, tender hyderabadi chicken curry, and sweet, creamy Indian yogurt desserts. The menu takes visitors on a culinary journey of India and Pakistan, from the stir-fried noodle dishes that originate from Kolkata's Chinatown to the paper-thin dosas and gram flour donuts that grow from the trees of South India.
As guests savor the spices and fragrances of goan fish curry or fluffy, buttery naan, an elegant atmosphere envelops them. Beaded crimson cloth and sheer white curtains frame a room full of velvety pillows, embroidered wall decorations, and a buffet full of curries, basmati rice, and desserts.
Simi's centerpiece is a large hanging stained-glass art piece––a woman in full Sari playing a sitar amid a field of blossoming flowers. Zooming out, the restaurant complements the art with verdant flowing vines and a rustic gray stone partition. Amid these striking accents, tables line with dinner entrees of lamb curry, zesty seafood masala, and boneless chicken fired in a traditional clay-oven tandoor. Diners may also grab a bite during Simi's popular lunch buffet, which has been dazzling San Antonio for more than 20 years.
Pavani Express waters fledgling belly gardens with a veggie-centric menu of delectable Indian cuisine. Fill metaphorical breadbaskets with the literal flatbread of chapati korma (two pieces, $4.99) or grow walrus tusks of flame with hot and spicy noodles ($6.99). Garlic fried rice ($5.99) wards off any vegan vampires prowling the restaurant while the cheese and spinach-loaded saag paneer ($7.99) bestows diners with faded anchor tattoos and disproportionately muscled forearms.
Inside a bustling open kitchen under new management, chefs sprinkle an aromatic blend of ground spices—the masala that gives the restaurant its name—into sizzling woks while stir-frying a variety of Thai-, Chinese-, and Indian-influenced dishes. Chicken, tofu, shrimp, and paneer arrive at tables coated with a variety of Asian sauces, ranging from citrusy orange to spicy Thai basil, and curried dishes, such as goan vindaloo, draw on Indian flavors.

Spy Shots: BMW M6 convertible takes to the track
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Oct 7th, 2010 at 2:26PM
BMW unveiled its 6 Series Coupe concept at this year's Paris Motor Show, giving us a preview at what the next-generation Sixer will look like when it debuts sometime next year. Fear not, M6 fans – this latest set of spy shots clearly shows that BMW has every intention of giving its latest grand tourer the high-power treatment. Aside from the revised styling of the next-gen 6 Series, we can clearly see a set of large wheels wrapped in fat tires, not to mention the M-signature quad-exhaust pipes out back. Expect the M6 to use the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 setup that will debut in... Read More

Reviews for Old Dan Tucker LyricsPerformed by Bruce Springsteen
Add Your New Review About The Song
Slight variation | Reviewer: Clarke | 12/22/13
To my memory, these lyrics are nearly perfect, except for the chorus. When my teacher taught my class, the chorus I learned went:
"get out the way of old Dan Tucker! He's too late to get his supper. Suppers over and breakfast cookin, old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin"
Whether that's correct or not I don't know, but that's how I learned it as a kid back in the early 90's lol.
Awesome song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/9/13
Its a good song! I had known it before cause we learnt it at school and I had forgotten how it went so I searched it in google and I have been looking for the correct version for ages.
Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen? | Reviewer: A. C. Jones | 5/17/13
I don't see it on this page, but the search results containted the phrase:"Lyrics by Bruce Springsteen".
He might have sung it, but could not have written it unless he is about 300 years old.

FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION News Release:
Tallahassee, FL – Former First Lady Columba Bush and the Foundation for Excellence in Education today announced the 2009 Arts for Life! Scholarship Program award winners. To celebrate 10 years of Arts for Life! in Florida, 10 additional scholarships are being awarded to promising young artists, bringing the total number of recipients to 35 in 2009. Additionally, a new creative writing category was added to recognize Florida's talented writers. Annually, the Arts for Life! program recognizes graduating high school seniors from across Florida for outstanding achievement in the arts. Each recipient receives a $1,000 cash scholarship toward their pursuit of the arts in higher education.
"In its first decade, Arts for Life! has helped hundreds of aspiring Florida artists and performers pursue their dreams," said Mrs. Bush. "I am proud to recognize this year's outstanding scholarship recipients for their achievement and tremendous creativity. The Foundation for Excellence in Education remains committed to fostering arts in our schools through the Arts for Life! Scholarship Program in support of the next generation of promising Florida artists."
Columba Bush, Florida's First Lady from 1999 to 2007, is a passionate advocate for the arts and arts education. In 1999, she established the Arts for Life! Scholarship Program to recognize the creativity and artistic talents of high school students throughout Florida.
In the last ten years, Arts for Life! has received thousands of applications from public, private and charter school students from across the state and recognized 252 talented artists in 29 counties throughout Florida. As of this year, $252,000 in cash scholarships has been awarded to 6 creative writers, 26 dancers, 30 actors and actresses, 66 musicians and 124 visual artists. Many of these students have gone on to attend prestigious colleges and universities around the country, including The Julliard School, New York University, Savannah College of Art and Design, The Art Institute of Chicago, Harvard, Yale and Howard Universities, The Florida State University and the Universities of Miami and Florida.
This year, nearly 500 outstanding high school seniors from public, private and charter schools competed for scholarships. In total, 35 award winners were chosen in the fields of creative writing, dance, drama, music and visual arts. Participating students were required to submit a sample of their work and an essay on how arts influenced their life and the role of the arts in their future. A committee comprised of respected experts in the five categories reviewed and scored each application to determine the scholarship recipients.
This year's winning students and their families, teachers and school administrators will be recognized at an Arts for Life! luncheon hosted by Jeb and Columba Bush on June 26, 2009, at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Prior to the luncheon, students will have the opportunity to participate in a professional development workshop with a panel of respected experts in several art disciplines.

Book Description:
The Book of the New Sun is unanimously acclaimed as Gene Wolfe's most remarkable work, hailed as "a masterpiece of science fantasy comparable in importance to the major works of Tolkien and Lewis" by Publishers Weekly, and "one of the most ambitious works of speculative fiction in the twentieth century" by The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Shadow & Claw brings together the first two books of the tetralogy in one volume:The Shadow of the Torturer is the tale of young Severian, an apprentice in the Guild of Torturers on the world called Urth, exiled for committing the ultimate sin of his profession -- showing mercy toward his victim.Ursula K. Le Guin said, "Magic stuff . . . a masterpiece . . . the best science fiction I've read in years!"The Claw of the Conciliator continues the saga of Severian, banished from his home, as he undertakes a mythic quest to discover the awesome power of an ancient relic, and learn the truth about his hidden destiny."Arguably the finest piece of literature American science fiction has yet produced [is] the four-volume Book of the New Sun."--Chicago Sun-Times"The Book of the New Sun establishes his preeminence, pure and simple. . . . The Book of the New Sun contains elements of Spenserian allegory, Swiftian satire, Dickensian social consciousness and Wagnerian mythology. Wolfe creates a truly alien social order that the reader comes to experience from within . . . once into it, there is no stopping."--The New York Times Book Review

The good folks from Blitz VII have entrusted me with the task of setting up Blitz VIII, and since I am a technological nitwit, there is a good chance no one will ever see what I am writing here. :-)
On the tiny chance this works, I would like to invite our friends - old and new - to join us on the 8th leg of this low-ish carb journey toward weight loss and better health. We are a small group of very friendly, non-judgmental regular joes and joettes, who post often as a means of giving and receiving support.
There are no rules and no real structure - we each develop or follow individual plans and share our successes and failures with them. The first Blitz was started on April 1, 2010 by our leader flatferenghi, who is a benevolent little troll from another planet, who avoided a catering truck one day, and well, the rest is history!
I do realize that last paragraph may scare any new folks away :-)
I will end here and let others add their thoughts. Hope you will join us!
Thanks, Tony! You did a great job, as usual! I hope things continue to go well at the store. I bet you are excited about the closing and then the "opening" of a new chapter in your life.
Hello and welcome to all of our "old" friends and new friends. It is going to be a good year, I feel it in my fat :hyst:
Happy New Year! Stay safe!!!!!!
Happy New year's everyone. Wish you all the best for the upcoming year and I know this group is going to do great with all of our health goals!
yea!...it worked...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy New Year Blitzers!
Having computer problems this morning on home computer and Mom's. Also her little tv in her bedroom not working but one in living room is?? Hope that this is not a hint of what's in store for the new year.:stars:
Had a good day yesterday sticking with lower carb. Had some jalepeno cheese sticks and tuna with mayo. I see that the gang had chinese last night while my sister was giving me another night off. Boy, glad I didn't have to resist that meal!
FF, did you ever make the latkes out of celeriac?
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
happy new year guys!!!!...
i did not resist the chinese food last night, and it was really good - no msg and not salty at all and i stuck to all low carb choices, except for a dollop of fried rice...
starting this blitz at 221 and determined to get to 1derland by april 1!
Thanks Tony, Happy New Year everyone. The end of 2012 wasn't too good to some of us, but this is a great time for a new start.
We went out to eat last night and I am beginning to hate eating out. I ordered a Southwestern Chicken breast with sauteed veggies and a baked potato. The chicken breast was not "real" chicken of course. I don't mean processed but probably that boneless, skinless breast chunk you find in a bag. Those definitely have a different texture and taste.
The veggies looked and tasted awful. The broccoli was a sickly Army green, not the vibrant green and there was a ton of seasoning on it. All the veggies were way overcooked. I returned it and they brought out a second helping without the seasoning. It 'looked' better, but when I bit into them, they were cold in the center. They had just dumped frozen Calif. mix blend of veggies in pan with oil.
Now, on to the baked potato, they brought out sour cream and 'butter'. Of course, the 'butter' was some kind of margarine (I didn't dare ask for real butter because I knew what the answer was going to be) and the sour cream had an odd taste, probably low fat! So, all I ate last night was a few bites of the chicken and the inside of the potato. I would have eaten the skin, but after I removed the foil it looked like the potato hadn't been scrubbed.
So, even though I had decided to break my "fasting detox" I was totally disappointed in the meal. Thankfully, what little I did eat, probably didn't do a whole lot of damage.
Started off the new year by cooking a HUGE pot of veggie soup. And, I finally got an outside run in after about a month of being under the weather. I can tell I have lost some momentum and strength but I can't stop now!
Vicki, I have had similar experiences at restaurants. It's really hard to find good tasting healthy food eating out.
Thanks for the new board, Tony! Happy 2012! Beautiful sunny morning but clouds and storms moving in late afternoon.
I made it through NY's Day without red velvet cake, cornbread or blackeyed peas -- not an easy feat for a superstitious southerner. I did have plenty of greens, though, the other money charm of the holiday.
Breakfast was eggs scrambled with the last of the holiday Swiss cheese, with a side of sauteed kale and a "gingerbread" (flour- and sugar-free) flax muffin. Lunch was burgers with kale chips. Dinner was deviled eggs with fresh spring rolls -- substituting lightly steamed collard leaf wraps for the rice paper wraps and using a homemade SF dipping sauce.
I read an interesting article in the Times about a new study on why people who lose weight have trouble maintaining the loss -- and then a general collection of studies on maintaining weight loss. Here's the link:
FF, are you going to see The Enchanted Island? I read the review. Sounds interesting.
Abi, your mom is pretty. She reminds me of a 70 year-old friend of mine, except my friend was kind of big on plastic surgery when she was younger. I think it all evens out over the long-term anyway. :laugh:
Vicki, I am so with you on the amazement at all the fake food. I picked up some cream for the Christmas casserole and it took me two stores to find cream where the only ingredient was, well...cream. I couldn't believe all the crud they put into cream these days.
Vicki, I don't know at what restaurant you ate, but if obviously isn't a good one. I've never heard of food that bad before.
Day one of plan successful! Now, on to the next.
hi vicki, sorry your meal out was such a disappointment...but it's a new year and we are all gonna make a huge positive change beginning today, right?...
artemis, the soup sounds yummy - and i'm very proud of you for getting outside and moving around...remember, DON'T OVERDO IT :-)
shadows, that sounds like a really good menu!...i love southern food...thanks for the article link - i just read the whole thing...it explains a lot, but i'm hoping it is not a cycle we can't overcome with slow, steady changes in habit...it makes me realize i have to be more strict and careful than i have been, especially when my body is changing metabolically and working against me...
good day today for day 1 of this new year...
Good morning everyone!
Getting a bit of a late start posting this morning. Wishing us all a good day 2 of the New Year. I had some temptations yesterday as there is stuff around Mom's that people have been bringing and I am spending more time here exposed to it. But I resisted. Had ground beef, cheese and bratwurst yesterday. Also had bratwurst the day before but forgot to mention it. My niece brought me a wedge of the mustard seed cheese yesterday. She said it was the last bit as the co-op had all their Christmas cheese selections on close out. I am going to go on line and see if there is any way to order it for a reasonable price. I see it is made in the UK.
LCShadows, I told Mom just now that you said she was pretty. That brought a smile to her face. Good going on resisting the good luck New Years dishes. That combination of food would be hard to resist. Good article on why we can't maintain our losses that easily.
Vicki, sorry about the lousy food on your dinner out. Now that you have broken your fasting detox, what will your plan be?
Marilee, glad day one was good. Hope we all have a good day 2. We are on a roll!!
Artemis, wishing you a very healthy New Year. Getting some fresh air and sunshine should help.
FF, I saw a news story about some beautiful lights on homes in Brooklyn in ****r Heights. Are those the ones you mentioned before and did you get out to see them?
Coffee and cream so far today and definately will have some mustard cheese. DH says he is going to do a pot roast in crock pot so dinner will be good. Have a great day all!
Ha Ha, I did not edit that area of Brooklyn. The site must have!
I have been more in tune with what I put into my mouth since starting a LC way of eating. In fact, I have evolved into becoming more aware of where my food comes from. I don't eat processed foods too much anymore and fix most meals from "scratch". I have been eating free range chicken and eggs and have a quarter of grass fed beef on order. I have also been reading more and more about raw food, vegetarianism, flexitarianism, and veganism. The basis of most of these is plant based food. Therefore, I am thinking that since I still eat meat at this time, I could call myself a flexitarianism.
vicki, you're a lot more than an "ism" in my book! :-) sounds like you are moving in a very positive direction on your woe...
abi, great job avoiding the eating pitfalls all over your mom's house...i don't know how we all don't gain 50 lbs. over the holidays, with all the holiday "treats" EVERYWHERE...good luck finding the cheese...it's funny that the site would redact the mention of an area of brooklyn - it must be because ff hangs around there :-)
that article yesterday has thrown me for a bit of a loop, but i am happy i read it...been thinking about it all day...not only is this hard, it requires behavior from us that is much much more disciplined and restrictive than what is expected from the rest of the population...without an iron will, that could be discouraging...it definitely is a bit sobering...but it made me realize how badly i want this, because i feel more motivated today...
weighed in at 221.2 today, and have had a great day so far:
b: 1 hb egg white
l: grilled chicken
d: ?
hope y'all are having a great day!
it's 10:30 and i'm still at work with no food - this is one way to lose weight! :-)
Tony, hope you didn't pass out before you got something to eat yesterday. I have had that happen only afew times in the past where I am into a big project and food is like the last thing on my mind, like getting our condo ready to sell. We have to appreciate these times when they happen and use them to our advantage.
Vicki, that is so healthy eating all the free range chicken, meats and all. The cost of free range meat around here is pretty expensive but it does kind of creep me out to eat meat which I know has been grain fed and had antiobiotics. I try not to think about it. Keep us posted on how the flexitarianism woe goes.
Had ground beef, cheese, and pot roast yesterday. Just one small carrot and a piece of cooked onion from the pot roast. Some water but not enough.
Have a good day everyone!
One note on the NY Times article. It mentioned that they had experimented injecting leptin, the hormone made by body fat to override leptin resistance to weight loss. Quite awhile back I put Dr. Jack Kruse's "Leptin Prescription" on here. He feels he has the protocol to reverse leptin resistence.MY LEPTIN PRESCRIPTION - Jack Kruse
In case u are not all alienated yet, the ALIEN is back.
Tony, u did a beautiful job getting BLITZ VIII going. I could not have done it in any case, as my computer at home is on the fritz yet again. Luciano is coming this evening to take it away, until I have the Latinum to pay its ransom. I regret, i will have to wait for the radio broadcast for everything i wish to see at the MET, except for March 17. I got a comparatively inexpensive ticket ($49.50 for nosebleed city) for Mussorgsky's Khovanschina. Everything else on my list was either sold out, or too expensive. PBS will undoubtedly air a few, but they never give advance warning. I missed half the MET productions that they did air last season. Last night they did part 1 of a 2 part documentary about Martin Luther. They did not say when they will air part 2. This is because they WANT us to miss it, so that we will have to buy the DVD at their inflated prices. This troll buys nothing at retail prices. I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years celebration, and is ready to get real for the New Year. If i did not gobble everything in sight the last 3 days, it is because I was sucking up gallons of diet soda. That i should feel wonderful this morning (and i do)is an undeserved grace. My mantra for now through May 11, is LAS VEGAS. Anytime, i even think off-plan thoughts, i will chant LAS VEGAS, LAS VEGAS. It beats SERENITY NOW. Just ask Frank Costanza and Lloyd Braun !!! Love & Profits: FLATFERENGHI
i did not get a chance to accomplish certain things...
in the post TG craziness. I did not get a chance to see the Christmas lights, nor did I have the chance to make the celeriac latkes. I am sure, by that time, i will have to buy a new celery root. I also did not as yet connect my cassette deck or cd player to the amp. Nor, did i get a chance to go back to that place for the sugar free candy canes. As much as i love this time of year, weatherwise, i am not a fan of being out after dark. Also, the 4000 piece jigsaw puzzle is too big for my table (the one I bought for just that purpose)I need to go to B & N, and get the 2000 piece version. I removed the shrink-wrap, just to verify that there was nothing missing.And, i do not have the receipt either. However my (earth)brother used his card, and I remember the purchase date, so I believe we will be able to do business. I will call them later today. It is time to erase the board of all our past failures, and dissappointments. We have a clean slate. Let us use it wisely. FF
My goals for this year other than maintaining my weight loss for the ninth year in a row (that goal is forever ongoing), I plan to finish up my 5K training and move on to the 10K transition training.
Got a good workout in last night and my legs are super sore. Also have a HUGE bottle of water with lemon on my desk and I am chugging it as we speak.
I got such little sleep last night. My alarm system (which I never had activated after I moved) kept making beeping noises and actually started sounding with a siren this morning when I tried to leave. I have no idea why and I could never figure out how to shut it off (I'm sure my neighbors just love me now). I called the company and they haven't bothered to call me back.
for u, Artemis, i am temporarily walking the stairs at work.
i already walked 2 flights twice today. Elevator down, and legs up. Frankly, i do not know how much good it will for for me physically, but at least i will feel like i am doing something constructive. Also, at least while u are doing your huffing and puffing, u will take some comfort that i am doing mine. I just wolfed down a nice salad (mostly mixed lettuces)with some of this and some of that. My protein was a 5 oz can of solid white tuna (water pack)with 1 T mayo, and 1/2 oz crushed pecans. It was great. I loved it just as much as the off-plan foods and off-plan portions I was vacuuming into myself the last 72 hours. Well, i believe i can do this for the next 132 days. I will probably go to the Outback on my birthday. If the weather allows me to walk there and back, i will get one of the larger steaks. If not, the smallest. The scariest time for me, of course is the evenings. I have all my strategies in place, especially NO TV after Seinfeld. whatever needs to be seen, i can tape for future viewing (sorry, Sheldon!!!) FF
artemis, sometimes that beeping happens if the batteries are weakening...if your alarm is hardwired, and no components use batteries, then that isn't the problem...congrats on your goal and for being so disciplined...you really are an inspiration to the rest of us...
ff, good to have you back and i'm happy i did not disappoint you with my setup of blitz viii...when you started this, did you ever imagine we would get to a blitz viii???...i didn't!...it's amazing that at the end of this one, we will have known each other for two years!
my preoccupation with the store has paid a small dividend...i was here til after midnight last night and although starving, found the will to go to sleep rather than eat...this morning, the scale was down 2 lbs. to 219.2...i'll take losses any way i can get 'em...
today so far:
b: 1 hb egg white
l: pizza topping (sausage, onions & peppers) off two slices
d: ???
abi, thanks for posting the link again - don't think i read it before, but i will today...good menu, btw :-)
actually, Tony,I expect to stay around for BLITZ DCCCLXXXVIII
I will do what it takes to get to ONEderland at least, if not goal. FF
Unbelievably cold here (for the South) and like living in a wind tunnel. Even though I've had my heat on full blast all day, it hasn't gotten above 59 degrees inside. These apartments are not insulated for sub-zero windchills. They leak!
I made another casserole, sans meat but with plenty of vegies, and used up the last of that holiday cheese box that someone gave me. So, by the weekend, my house should be back to its dairy-free norm.
that's a great idea, shadows!...and i agree, the article was important reading for me...i tend to get lazy and think i can lose weight whenever i want to, but it is not as true as it used to be - it is getting harder all the time...
i did nothing horrible to gain the 17+ lbs. i have gained since april...haven't binged, haven't eaten high carb junk - 90% healthy, LC whole foods - but the 10% of being a bit loose has been enough to promote that significant gain...that article put it in perspective for me...
if i want to get to a lower weight, i just have to try harder and it will always be that way...if i eat the way other, normal weight people eat, i will be fat - as simple as that...and i don't want to be fat...the question is do i want it badly enough...i really think i do!
Hello Tony, FF, et al! Happy New Year!!!
I've had a rotter of a year - must have gained 30 lbs of the 60lbs I lost.. but no matter, 2011 is history!
I'd like to join the 90 day challenge if I may? No weightloss goal in particular, just to stick to plan (Atkins) as closely as possible, post here regularly, and log my food (honestly!) on ******.
First day at work after a long 2 week festive break today - argh! I suppose I should set off! Good luck, all, for a great Wednesday!
Hi Clanger! Glad you are with us. Hoping we all stay super motivated for the next 3 months!
LCShadows, sorry for the poorly insulated apartment. 59 degrees inside is pretty darn cold. I keep a down vest handy when I feel chilled. It does help hold the body heat in. It is 8 degrees out this morning here. That is very cold for us in New Hampshire. But at least Mom's house says it is 70 and I am not all that warm right now. Love the motivational poster ideas!
FF, I am so sad you never got your sf candy canes over the holidays to stir your coffee with. Maybe by valentines day you can get some. You are making me feel guilty with your stair walking.
Tony, hoping the two pounds off from all your intense work at the store stick with you!
Artemis, we ended up having to take the batteries out of our fire alarms after we fired up out new wood burning stove. I guess we better put them back in now that the all the stove pipes should be settled down. Great you are going to head on to the 10k training after you finish up your 5k training.
Wishing you all a great day!
i was seduced by the dark side once again!!!
No, not by starches and sweets. I got sucked into 4 episodes of the BIG BANG THEORY. it is one of my fave shows now. that and the pig in the GEICO commercial. So, at 10pm I had to shut the tv off if i wanted a shot at Mozart...(DON GIOVANNI)a vintage recording from circa 1961 with a great cast. Then at 11pm i went back to SEINFELD. I live a strange life. also, I found the gift receipt from B & N, so there should be no problem with exchanges. Yesterday, i ate just enough. i was under my daily WW daily points by about 5. I am off tomorrow, ergo i will be incommunicado till Friday. i will be quite busy and out of the house during the day till about 7-8pm. I can almost say what i will be having for lunch tomorrow: the grilled Caesar at McD. Ordinarily, i would eat that PLUS two Angus Burgers. I must remember to bring some nuts for the crunch. 1 pouch of Newman's Caesar dressing is a whopping 4 gr.of carbs. As it is less than 1 gr for 2 T on the bottle info, We are talking about a modified dressing, or a full 4 oz in the pouch, which of course it aint. READ LABELS!!! I learned that I can do portion control during the day, but not during the winter nights. so, I compensate by eating just enough to stave off not just hunger, but deprivation, and boredom. I leave as much as possible for the night. the strategy is that I will not feel the need for all the remaining points. Yesterday I consumed the following: BKFST-zip, LUNCH, a nice salad with mostly greens, 5 oz solid white tuna, a little bit of this, and a little bit of that sprinkled with 1/2 oz crushed pecans and only 1T of mayo. Evening was divided into 2 parts. Part A was 12 oz Hebrew National Salami and 2 thin slices of muenster cheese, and deli mustard. Part B was a House Special Soup and 1 small order of ribs. That did it. I was hoping i would be satisfied with Part A alone. but it was not to be. I am making these posts longer than usual, because i want this round to be an exploration and exorcism of whatever it is that causes me to NEED to eat so much. FF
FF, I am so proud of you for taking the stairs! It all adds up and makes a huge difference. Also, I LOVE the Big Bang Theory.
Clanger, welcome! Wishing you all the best with your goals!
So, after a few traumatic times with setting my alarm off, I was finally able to disarm it (I hope). The company couldn't come look at it as it is technically not an active account. So my only options were to pay a fee to activate it and change the code or disarm it by disconnecting the wires. I hope that it is fixed now!
With all the drama yesterday, I did not get a workout in. So back to the gym for me today. But I forgot my running shoes, should be interesting!

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) - Authorities have identified a man found dead on a mountain west of Golden as 69-year-old Richard Limon of Denver, and they say he apparently had been stabbed.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday that Limon's death is being investigated as a homicide. Two bicyclists discovered Limon's body on Aug. 17 beside the Lariat Loop road on Mount Zion near Lookout Mountain. Investigators are asking anyone who knew Limon or was in the area of Lookout Mountain on Aug. 16 or 17 to contact them.

Many animals live a perilous lifestyle that sees them at risk of all sorts of bumps and scrapes. A hip fracture is one of the possible dangers for dogs and other pets. It is particularly likely to happen when the dog is involved a road accident. Symptoms of a hip fracture include signs of trauma to the area, abnormal motion, and shock. Treatment for hip fractures in dogs may involve surgical repair of the damaged bone and the appropriate aftercare subsequent to the surgery. Although in some cases surgery may not be needed, and the treatment is more about giving the bone the chance to heal itself and reducing pain.
Fractures of the hip in dogs are typically caused by accidents such as the dog being hit by a car. There are several symptoms to look out for. Signs of the physical trauma to the area caused by the bump will be apparent. Probably with damage to other areas of the body as well, that may also need treatment. If the hip is damaged this will cause abnormal motion in the animal. The dog could also be in shock.
The diagnosis of the hip fracture will depend upon a number of things. A full examination of the dog will be performed. If a hip fracture is suspected then a scan such as a radiograph of the pelvic area will be performed. A neurological exam is needed on the sciatic nerves to help decide whether surgery is appropriate.
In the first instance the treatment may focus on addressing shock and other trauma issues before the hip itself is addressed. In some cases the treatment for the hip fracture in a dog will involve surgery. If the acetabulum (where the femur meets the pelvis) is not affected then a bone plate with screws could be used. If it is affected then it will need to be reconstructed. Pain relief using analgesics will be needed as well.
In other cases it may be that surgical intervention will not be necessary. In these cases it is thought that the bone will be able to heal itself given the opportunity to do so. What this means is making sure that the dog doesn't do anything to aggravate the damage. Movement in general should be kept to a minimum with the dog confined when not supervised. Medication for pain relief such as analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs may also be needed during the recovery period.

Re: £1580 ?!?!
I just popped for the MicroServer myself and while I was happy tinkering about with FreeNAS, Open Media Vault and Ubuntu server looking to choose the best option I can totally see why my father-in-law opted for a pre-configured system where somebody else has done most of the hard work. The skills that we IT experts have are valuable ones and it seems only fair that the non-techies have to pay to get something easy to use.

I was just this morning grapling with the tricky question of whether to move into iPhone or Android territory for my first purchase of a smartphone. My current contract is about to expire and I'm looking forward to making the leap to the next generation however which way to jump has been a difficult decision.
I love my iMac at home and really enjoy the way "things just work" compared to my experiences of trying to get Ubuntu installed on a second partition on my hard drive. But Apple's draconian and autocratic attitude really offends me and I'm now proud to say that I'm looking forward to a shiny new Andoid OS when I make the jump.

Kelly worked at Hooters?
Kinda obvious, but someone has to say it:
Pics or it didn't happen.
Large Hadron Collider scuttled by birdy baguette-bomber
Gordon Freeman at the LHC
Actually Gordon Freeman does work at the LHC as previously noted on El Reg comments:

Double Standards
So if the law states that mere possession of the electronic version of the picture is an offence then how can possession of a physical representation not carry the same weight of the law? The police visited the Tate and advised them not to display the picture. They did not, apparently, advice them to destroy the image or confiscate it.
Fancy a nuclear power station in your backyard?
Why we have cooling towers
You can read thia article on Wikipedia to learn why we need cooling towers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_engine
Basically you can only get electricity out of a pwoer station by having two different temperatures and the greater the difference the more efficient your power generation will be. You have some sort of heat source, be it coal, gas or nuclear and you need a "cool source" as well which is provided by water circulated through the cooling towers.
