the cards repeatedly spell her death. [Fr. Weir said: "For the public, visiting artists in their studios is a fabulous way to get to know the creator of a favourite painting or sculpture.
"Studios are often personal and private spaces, each one unique and individual, directly reflecting the character and persona of the artist.
"Some will be chaotic, others havens of calm and some spaces are heaving with a mixture of creative folk all working side by side, while other sites offer undiscovered pockets of individual innovation and expression."
It starts off with an open evening tonight from 6-9pm at the Huddersfield University Creative Arts building which is open to all to attend. Studios throughout the borough will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday, September 18/20 and 26/27 from 11am until 5pm with venues including AIM at Queen Street South, Marsh Mills, Radiant Works, the West Yorkshire West Yorkshire, former metropolitan county, N central England.

"HOST aims to be bigger and better than ever before with more venues opening up across the Kirklees area making the event a truly regional showcase of local art."
The artists will be talking about their work and visitors can commission them to do work or buy what is on show.
The West Yorkshire Print Workshop in Mirfield is one of the largest venues on the trail with twelve artists taking part.
While the Textile Hall in Batley will also be a hub of activity with Karen Stansfield, a creative practitioner who works in theatre and education as a costumier and textile artist, exhibiting.
She said: "I've been on the HOST trail for the past couple of years as a visitor, supporting my friends who have taken part as well as going to look at the work of other practising artists.
"We have such a wealth of talent within Kirklees and it is always good to meet artists and discuss their creative processes."

With a new album mostly finished, and the recent release of expanded (and remastered) reissues of their beloved records Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow the Green Grass, the Jayhawks have managed to captivate the music world once again. With the reconciliation of longtime collaborators Gary Louris and Mark Olson, the band members are newly inspired and rejuvenated, and they obviously have an eager audience waiting for them, as evidenced by how quickly their small U.S. tour has sold out (the opening night at First Ave is sold out as well, but there are still tickets available for the recently added second show). Fans can expect a thorough examination of both those classic albums spread over the course of the two-night stand, as well as plenty of new songs sprinkled in, which the group feels really positive about. These sets of shows, and the release of the new record (which should be out sometime this summer), should cause both fans and critics alike to shift their focus back to the stately, elegant music that the Jayhawks make, instead of their tempestuous history. Twin Cities music fans have patiently dreamed of this full-fledged reunion for quite a while now, and these shows will hopefully be just the start of a long, prolific period for a band receiving a truly deserved extended moment in the sun. With Rogue Valley. 21+ Saturday; 18+ Sunday.
Saturdays, Sundays, 6 p.m. Starts: Jan. 29. Continues through Jan. 30, 2011

Face-Off: The Renaissance of Nuclear Power
downs of the business cycle, there is nothing stopping a decision to build new nuclear plants but the reticence of nuclear plant owner-management, their boards of directors, and Wall Street. This reticence is difficult to comprehend given the large financial returns being earned on existing nuclear assets, and the billions of dollars that have been lost on other ill-considered energy ventures.
Energy company managers and their Wall Street advisors have been pursuing investment strategies that couldn't have had a higher risk profile, while they have all but ignored new nuclear plants.

All of these plants are managed and operated by Entergy Nuclear.

Something is wrong with society when the most impish bands of the '90s start making resonant social statements. But on Under a Billion Suns, Mudhoney seems more vexed and pissed than Green Day or NOFX. Partly, it's the sound: Oxidized slabs of guitar psychedelia evoke messy times better than polished punk. Riffs cross like hot wires all over the album, girded by heavy groove, pierced by the still-feral-at-43 voice of Mark Arm, and punched with a horn section that sounds like a high school brass band cast specifically to underline the theme of American bombast. But Arm's words make as deep an impression. The middle-age wasteland anthem "Empty Shells" manages both sympathy and disgust, while "Where Is the Future" makes you feel supremely ripped off by the dual promise of sci-fi and the Space Race. "Hard-On for War," as simplistic as the title seems, asserts the sexual dynamics of war-making more convincingly than anything since the Dead Kennedys -- a feat in general, but perhaps especially for the man best known for "Touch Me I'm Sick."

EAST GREENWICH-Town residents had the chance to voice their opinion Tuesday night at a well-attended public forum discussing all day kindergarten in the East Greenwich School District.
Superintendent Victor Mercurio answered questions from many concerned parents and teachers regarding the subject that an Ad Hoc Committee has been studying for months. However, the biggest question of how much implementing all day kindergarten would cost, remained unanswered.
EAST GREENWICH- Soon to celebrate 38 years of doing business, East Greenwich Photo has found a new home on Main Street, offering a convenient location for customers.
Photographer Soozie Sundlun has been capturing moments in the lives of her customers for over three decades, and will continue to do so in their new, smaller studio, where they started years ago.
EAST GREENWICH- For the sixth year, artists will open their doors to the public during the West Bay Open Studios Tour, featuring four East Greenwich artists.
The free and self-guided tour features studios in East Greenwich, Warwick, Exeter, North Kingstown and Saunderstown, giving the public a chance to meet the artists and experience their artistic process.
The East Greenwich Artists participating are Marjorie Ball, Alice Benvie-Gebhart, Nancy Gaucher-Thomas and Jane Parillo-Rollins, each offering a different type of art to the tour.
CHARLESTOWN — The Charlestown Planning commission violated the Open Meetings Act (OMA) when it conducted a secret ballot vote during an open session meeting in May, according to a recent finding by the Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin's office.
RICHMOND – An outsider calling us "Swamp Yankees" would be offensive, as its definition includes stubborn and unrefined. But when we refer to ourselves that way, we're thinking of the frugal and independent part of the definition. And every year that's something to celebrate.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION — After what was deemed a successful meeting of the Chariho Joint Governing Bodies on September 18, the school committee debated on Tuesday night whether it could discontinue or replace the Omnibus meeting that is scheduled every January.
Historically, the superintendent has presented the school budget to Chariho's three town councils at the annual Omnibus meeting, which has a fraught history of squabbling among the towns.
CHARLESTOWN – In a letter to the Chariho School Committee chair, the Charlestown Town Council is proposing that the omnibus meeting be replaced with one joint meeting a year.
The council voted unanimously Tuesday to send a letter to the school committee chair with recommendations on the operation and format for the next joint meeting of the Chariho governing bodies.

When I was a kid with Christmas approaching I'd always struggle every time my moms left the house. I knew where she hid our presents (in the back of her closet) and I wanted to sneak a peek so incredibly bad, but I also knew that it would ruin the joyful surprise of Christmas morning. That's exactly how I feel about Skyzoo's upcoming Great Debater project now that it will finally be dropping tomorrow. Previous leaks The Definitive Prayer and Written in the Drums had my expectations sky high and new release For the Awake has me feverish with anticipation. Produced by Oh No, who layers vocal samples and sharp drums to simultaneously head-nodding and relaxing effect, this one is Skyzoo and guest rapper King Mez at their best, proving that lyrically they're not just conscious, they're fully awake and ready to shake the sleeping out of their slumber. The wait ends tomorrow, June 7, when The Great Debater finally drops right here on DJBooth. Just like Christmas morning, I promise the wait will be worth it.

5 Really Bad Tips for Removing a Wasps Nest
So your at home and you look out into the garden and you notice a wasp nest. Now your stuck wondering what to do so you go to your laptop and find this blog. You sit there for a moment wondering why you are reading "5 Really Bad Tips for Removing a Wasps Nest" when you really want to remove a wasps nest then you realize you are genuinely interested in how not to do it so you know how not do it. But you are starting to get bored and your worrying about the wasps nest so let's have a look at how not to remove a wasps nest!
Don't show any fear but make them afraid
Have you ever heard the expression "They are more afraid of you than you are of them?" I am a firm believer in this quote so when you do eventually approach the wasps nest I highly recommend screaming at the top of your lungs with your best war face on. This is sure to make them scared and get rid of a vast proportion of the wasps.
Be nimble
Sometimes a quick getaway is very important so what you definitely do not want is having too much clothes weighing you down thus slowing your retreat from the wasps. I recommend shorts and no t-shirts which should give you the best chance of clearing out quickly.
Be in touch with your surrounding
Sensitivity and knowing all your enemies (wasps) positions at all time is vital which is why I personally recommend never wearing anything that can dull the sensitivity of your senses. This includes gloves, glasses and headphones. Although make an exception for headphones if you have some music that can really psych you up!
Know anyone naive?
Removing a wasp nest can be dangerous so it is best if the general (you) does not go into battle himself. Find a soldier (someone naive that you know) to go into battle for you.
PS. This isn't so much a bad tip as a very unethical tip
Moral Support
You also may need moral support during your situation so I recommend inviting the whole neighborhood along to watch you dispose of the wicked wasps nest. This means you will be more confident and thus be more successful in removing the wasps nest. A win win situation for everybody.
This is the only good tip!
Hire a pest control specialist who will come out and remove the wasps nest. It is not expensive to have a wasp nest removed and to be honest with you my tips are a little useless so it's probably the best bet.

U.K. Sees Staggering Rise In 'Legal High' Deaths
Despite overall drug use being at record lows, Britain has seen a sudden explosion of deaths related to dietary supplements and laughing gas.
Legal highs could be the biggest drug problem that the U.K. is facing at the moment. The number of drug deaths related to dietary supplements and amphetamine-type substances, among others, has risen by a staggering 800 percent over the last three years. Only 10 of these deaths were reported in 2009, but that number jumped to 68 in 2012. Meanwhile, research from St. George's University in London showed the number of people with legal drugs in their post-mortem toxicology tests increasing from 12 in 2009 to 97 in 2012.
"We have observed an increase in the number and range of these drugs in the post-mortem toxicology results and in the cause of death of cases notified to us," said Professor Fabrizio Schifano, spokesman for the National Programme on Substance Abuse Deaths (NPSAD). "The worrying trend is that these type of drugs are showing up more than ever before. Clearly this is a major public health concern and we must continue to monitor this worrying development." Meanwhile, crime prevention minister Norman Baker is considering measures that will boost the power of police and law enforcement agencies in order to tighten the supply of these substances.
Last July, it was reported that six percent of young adults in England and Wales had used laughing gas, often known there as "hippy crack" as a means of getting high. But while legal highs might be on the rise, drug use overall in England and Wales is at a record low. Around 8.2 percent of 16- to 59-year-olds had used an illicit drug in the last year, compared with 11.1 percent in 1996.

To meet the growing demand in Middle Tennessee, Gray Line, the state's largest tour bus operator, acquired the motorcoach and mini bus division of leading ground transportation company Grand Avenue.
The agreement maximizes the strengths of both businesses. Gray Line is an acknowledged leader in fleet operations, safety standards, training and efficient management, while Grand Avenue is well known for its customer service, flexibility and its ability to exceed the demand of customers.
The combined company will employee more than 200 Tennesseans.
Industry veteran Bruce Neuharth has been named CEO of Gray Line to oversee and grow the combined company. He will be joined on the executive team by Carl Haley, who will serve as chief revenue officer and on the board of directors at Gray Line, while maintaining his position as CEO of Grand Avenue.
Grand Avenue's livery business will continue to operate independently.

Originally written on My Sports Rumors | Last updated 11/17/14
There's a report out there that Cole Hamels wants a seven year contract from the Philadelphia Phillies. This information comes from Howard Eskin of NBC Philadelphia. If this is indeed the case Phillies fans better enjoy the last starts in a Phillies uniform from Mr. Hamels. @howardeskin: Just reported on Sports Final @NBCPhiladelphia that I'm told cole hamels agent has told Phillies they r looking for "7″ year deal. The Phillies are known for not giving out long contracts to pitchers. We were all shocked when they gave Cliff Lee a five year deal so why should we expect them to give Cole seven years? He's a damn good pitcher but you can't expect the Phillies to go that length to appease the fans especially at the corresponding dollar figure, which should be around $20 million. Here's the deal if the Phillies don't give Cole seven years someone will. There's no way he won't get that kind of contract with the numbers he's put up throughout his career. If the Phillies don't

Re: But retail banks are clueless about security
THEY phone YOU, withholding Caller ID (which can be spoofed anyway) and ask you "security questions"
The only response to that idiocy is to start by insisting they answer your security questions. Their only response is 'but I cannot give out any information'. I then report them to their fraud department as an attempted pishing. Probaby wasting my time as they still do it.
It's official: You can now legally carrier-unlock your mobile in the US
Re: It's nice to see people are chipping away on the DMCA
'Only in the US.....'. Tosh.
In the UK there are shops on the high street who will unlock your phone for a tenner. I think every one of the high street mobile phone retailers sells unlocked versions of popular phones (possibly not every phone nor every shop: I cannot check everything). I have bought nothing but unlocked phones for 10 years now.

Re: @ Peter Simpson 1 Yeah? Just try to leave Israel!
You try telling either party that they are more closely related to each other than Europeans, Africans or Asians; that Palestinian DNA falls slap bang in the middle of the Jewish groupings, and so they are all basically blood brothers....and wait for the fireworks to fly (....or rockets, bombs, shells whatever).
Mind you expecting 'we hate them because they are "X" race' to have some logic or sense to it is just wasting time.

Re: Headline wrong?
One email does not cost squat. What sent the share price tumbling was the 'buy...buy..sell..sell' speculators who act on rumour and half truths, and the automatic share dealing system who all jumped on a small dip and kept on pushing it down and down.
The share dip was temporary anyway so the only actual losses where by those who play with short term rises and dips in the market. Long term investors lost squat.

Do cops need a warrant to search your phone? US Supreme Court will rule
me no understand
Say the police are not allowed to search the phone of someone who is arrested, they take him into custody and then apply for a warrant from a Judge presenting all of the evidence leading to the arrest. What exactly have they lost?
I can only conclude they want the ability to arrest someone, and then look on the phone for reasons to arrest them.

"80% of deaths on country roads occur on bends because 80% of country roads is made up of bends"
Yeh well, outside my house, where there has been 3 serious accidents and one death, every one of them were caused by going around the bends TOO SUCKING FAST. Its a 40mph zone,, but the local copper reckoned they were all doing at least 60mph. The accident investigator estimated that the guy who died was doing between 70-80mph. I have had people screaming at me for daring to slow them down when turning into my driveway. The road is quite safe if you are doing 40mph, but some people seem to think it is their right to go as fast as they like regardless of condition, speed limit or other road users

Apparently the chainsaw had been seen by the security personnel, but had been waved through because a chainsaw was not on the banned list!
Apple quietly revives iPhone charging and syncing docks
Re: Only Apple
Apple.....square corners....nnnooooooooo
Startup claims 1W wireless charging at 10 metres
ERP includes antenna gain
So you can have any amount of beam forming or focusing you like, you can still have a maximum of 4 watts radiated.
This also means that no matter how efficient/beam formed/focused you receiving antenna is, you can still only have a maximum of 4 watts (and the recieve antenn
has to be as big as the transmitting antenna). Using iphone 5 as an example, with capacity of 5.45Wh, you could charge it in a bit over an hour........assuming of course 100% efficient transmitter beam forming, no loss of power over the distance, 100% efficient receiver antenna, 100% efficient power conversion from RF to DC and 100% efficient charging circuit.
Add up all the real world inefficiencies and i recon the whole thing is bollocks.

Not gonna work if there is no incentive for actual work
Replacement IT systems may help in some areas, but not going to help at all if the actual work behind them is glacial. I one had a tree with a TPO (tree preservation order) blow down. I wrote to the council to ask what should be done (basically two options, TPO is revoked or new tree planted. I had to get something in place as I was intending to sell the property. For various reasons I asked for it to be revoked.
1 month later - they lost my application.
2 months later - they had logged my application
3 months later - they were considering my re-application
4 months later - they guy doing mine went on maternity leave and they were appointing a stand-in.
5 months later - Stand-in claimed TPOs can NEVER be changed/revoked as it 'is the law you know'. Had to read out the act of parliament which gives councils powers to alter/revoke TPOs. Stand-in now well over his head and "cannot do anything 'till original guy returns".
6 months later - original guy returns but has a huge backlog. My application goes to the bottom as it is non-urgent
9 months later - Decision made. TPO will be revoked, but will take a long time to enact. Ask for a letter to simply state their intention to present to prospective purchasers. "not a problem, it will be sent out today"
12 months later and a house sale delayed due to this single issue, after many calls and finally threats to put in a written complaint, I get a letter with a single sentence stating they intended to revoke the TPO.

Apple wins Samsung import ban, loses 'Battle of Rounded Corners II'
Patent 7912501 has got to be ripe for prior art or obviousness. I have gone through it and it seems to me a very long winded way of saying that it detected whether the jack is a 3 or 4 pin with appropriate components on the end by using impedance detection circuitry and/or using pull up/down resistors to produce hi/low signals. It then goes on an on and on about various other methods but it is all basically doing it the same way........all of which are blindingly obvious to anyone who has designed detection circuitry. I personally designed a circuit to detect whether two different types of antenna were being plugged into an transmitter by determining the impedance or a high resistance resistor in circuit.
It seems that Apple are using the 'patent every bit of the design and ignore prior art or obviousness' method of patenting. Basically throwing mud at the wall and see what sticks. Considering the state of the Patent Office, it seems that all the mud sticks.

I'm in an apartment and work from home, she was taught to free-eat from her bowl and I'm concerned as she's not eating that much and I feel I need to compensate with snacks or treats. The previous owners also had a 10-month old which is part of that I think...free food! Also she's pretty lethargic and sleepy throughout the day. I take her out about 4x a day and she never seems too much like she's up for playing when I've tried at random times. I don't know if this is all due to the adjustment period or if there is more that I need to do. She doesn't seem unhealthy, but, maybe still adjusting? Anything more I can do to make her adjustment better without spoiling her to death?

Neuros OSD: Much cooler than Tivo
Tivo dominates so much of the digital video recorder market that sometimes products that are infinitely more innovative don't get the attention they deserve. One of those products is the Neuros OSD, a device that lets you record from live TV, DVDs, VHS tapes, or any other device that you can hook up to a TV. It can save that video in a format suited for playback on your TV, your cell phone, an Ipod, or a PSP. And you have a choice of methods to store your video, including external USB hard drive, networked PC, SD card, Pro Duo, or Compact Flash. The Neuros can also play videos from the Internet (such as Youtube) and media that you have stored on your home network.
Basically, for those of us that like to watch our recorded videos on our portable devices, the Neuros eliminates the need for a PC to do this. They've basically taken out the step of getting the video on your PC and then converting it to the proper format. The device is also attractive for those looking for a quick and easy way to convert their VHS and DVD libraries to a digital format.
As it stands, the Neuros OSD is a device best suited to tech nerds, however, once they perfect the user interface, I see this device being mass-marketed to consumers as a way to record from commercial DVDs. There's definitely something attractive about the idea of having your entire video library store on one small device and accessible with the click of a remote button. Not only that, as portable media players become a larger part of our daily routine, devices like this become a great time saver.

Shingle Springs Probation Department Evacuated
A bomb squad was called to the Shingle Springs probation facility.
The El Dorado County Sheriff's Department said reports of the suspicious device came in around 7 a.m. for the building at 3974 Durock Road.
Investigators found the pipe wrapped in cardboard. Before the bomb squad opened the device, the 25 employees were evacuated.
The device was found on the door of a probation department building and it is unclear how it was placed there, deputies said.
The scene has been cleared, the Sheriff's Department said.
No injuries were reported.
At 7:00 AM this morning (Monday 01/06/14) a suspicious device was reported at the El Dorado County Probation Department in Shingle Springs. A section of pipe (approximately 8" X 1.5") that was capped on both ends was observed on the ground in front of the main entrance to the facility. A make shift fuse appeared to be attached to the object. The object appeared to have been hastily dropped by unknown individuals.
Deputies responded to the location and secured the area. 25 Probation Office personnel were safely evacuated from the building as Sheriff's Office Explosive Ordnance Demolition (EOD) personnel responded. EOD personnel investigated the object and rendered it safe with no injuries or property damage. EOD personnel believed the object was in fact an explosive device that had malfunctioned.
By 10:00 AM the area was cleared of any danger with the investigation continuing. The below picture of the device was taken at the scene.

Where to find excellent Mai Tai?
I just got back from Honolulu and had excellent Mai Tai's at Halekulani (at House without a Key and Orchids).
They were superb and now I'd like to find an equivalent in Manhattan.
I found a suggestion on Chowhound from two years back for Flatiron Lounge. Does anyone have a more current recommendation?
Thank you.
re: bsomlo
Sorry to hear that.
My first visit to TV's in NYC was high school prom night (18 was the drinking age) in the 70's.....we had to find out what a Mai Tai was all about. Tasted just like the one I had last year at the new TV's in Las Vegas.

re: LeahBaila
I am not familiar with the place. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.
re: LeahBaila
depending on the bartender, you can get an awesome one at otto's shrunken head...tiki bar with country music!
re: bsomlo
After reading this thread on my phone, I went on a bit of a Tiki Crawl in search of a great Mai Tai in NYC. I started at The Rusty Knot on all the recommendations I saw here. It was a fun looking bar with really cool, nice, easygoing bartenders, but the crowd was annoying (sort of frat-housey) and the Mai Tais, though tasty mixed drinks, weren't actually Mai Tais. They lacked orgeat completely. HOWEVER: if you go to the Rusty Knot, which I do really recommend, the spiced colada is absolutely fantastic. They also make their own ginger juice for their dark and stormy, so try that, too.
Otto's Shrunken Head came next. Great punk rock tiki atmosphere with a fun crowd, but sam1 isn't kidding about getting the right bartender. I got a different bartender than my two friends, and their Mai Tais were downright passable. Mine was a completely different drink, completely undrinkable. It had grenadine and possibly pineapple rum and it was a horrendous combination of too sweet and clashy flavors. I highly recommend snagging the bartender with the shaggy bleach-blond hair if she's there. If she's not, get a beer.

re: LOLTofu
i recently got dragged to painkiller on essex...the new tiki bar by milk and honey alums. the mai tai there was quite good and expertly prepared.
i felt like absolute dogsh$t the next day but enjoy the tip!
re: LeahBaila
2d this
Finding a great mai tai in NYC has been the holy grail for the local tiki-philes for some time now. For reference, a REAL classic mai tai is some close variation on :
1 ounce Fine Jamaican Rum (15 or 8 year old)
1 ounce Martinique Rum (St. James)
1/2 ounce Orange Curacao
1/2 ounce Orgeat Syrup (aka almond syrup)
Juice from one fresh lime (about 3/4 ounce)
(anything major deviation from above is NOT a mai tai!)
So, here are a few options:
Elettaria -- most if not all of the bartenders can make great mai tais, although they are not on the menu -- just ask. they use a recipe pretty close to the original Trader Vics and use proper rums and real orgeat syrup. This is a go-to spot for a proper mai tai!
Flatiron Lounge - I ordered one a few weeks ago and it was mediocre at best. When I ordered a second and told them it should be rummier they said "sorry, we're out of orgeat". Not good! They have a rum/tiki cocktail on the menu now which is mai tai-ish, but a bit on the fruity side, and cant remember the name.
Chinatown Brasserie -- their signature drink is a frozen mai tai! Or they'll make it the normal way. BUT, they use pineapple juice (heresy!) but it isnt bad and their duck spring rolls are wonderful -- in fact, a frozen mai tai - duck spring roll session at the CB bar is a wonderful way to kill an afternoon!
Otto's Shrunken Head -- it's a cheapo approximation of a mai tai, I think with a single rum, and will vary from sicky sweet or weak depending upon who's mixing. Definitely wouldnt go out of my way for one, but their "Shrunken Head" cocktail is much better (has coconut flavor, i suspect from Malibu rum)
Shun Lee West (believe it or not) -- a bit on the sweet side but they don't always have orgeat in stock.
Peking Duck House (uptown) -- their Planters Punch isnt a mai tai but it's a pretty good tiki cocktail in its own right.
Otherwise, on any given night the bartenders at Death and Co, PDT, Pegu Club, etc will probably make a good one if it's not too busy and they're in a tiki mood.
Aloha, and good luck!
re: west34
Great post, west34!
re: kathryn
Well after lurking forever, I figured I'd wait for something I actually know about before making my first post :-)
PS: I've been to Rusty Knot but never had the mai tai -- the pina coladas are pretty good though, especially if you like 'em with spiced rum.
re: west34
...I'm telling you, the Mai Tai's at The Rusty Knot will NOT dissapoint. :) Glad to hear about the pina's!
I called the bar in Honolulu that made the Mai Tai that knocked my socks off. They kindly gave me the recipe they use:
1.25 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
.75 ounce bacardi select
.75 ounce bacardi gold
.4 ounce rock candy syrup (simple syrup with vanilla)
.4 ounce orgeat almond syrup
.4 ounce orange Curacao floating on top
They serve it with crushed ice, a purple orchid floating on top and a spear of raw sugar cane in the drink.
re: bsomlo
Mai Tai update:
Sadly, Elettaria, one of the few reliable sources for a proper mai tai in NYC, recently closed. :-( As soon as I identify where the knowledgable and talented bar staff lands, I'll post it.
In the meanwhile, the history of the mai tai:
Note on the above recipe posted by bsomlo -- it's the real deal. But truly great mai tais are all about the rums -- those barcardi rums are, shall we say, a bit pedestrian and blah. Something like El Dorado 15 yr adds complexity consistent with the original Trader Vics rums: http://www.tradertiki.com/on-demerara...
re: west34
Just FYI to people looking for where the former head bartender of Elettaria went - Joseph Swifka, who came up with the Tiki Monday menu now works at Flatiron Lounge on Fridays. He can make an authentic Mai Tai, as well as Zombies, Three Dots and a Dash, Suffering Bastards, and other tiki drinks.

I just tried the Mai Tai at Painkiller, the new tiki bar on Essex Street. Based on the pedigree of the owners, and the well stocked bar, I had high expectations. Instead all I got was some weird lame rum sno-cone. Huge disappointment.
On the other hand, here's my annotated recipe for a NYC-sourced top-shelf home-made Mai Tai so that anyone can shake one up in about a minute:
1 oz. Jamaican Rum (use Appleton 12 year from Astor Wines)
1 oz Martinique Rum (use St. James Royal Ambre from Astor Wines)
.5 oz Orange Curacao (no cheap stuff! - use Senior Curacao, Clement Creole Shrubb or Cointreau from Astor)
.75 oz Orgeat Syrup (use Ferrara Orzata from Ferrara Bakery on Grand St or from Piemonte Ravioli across the street - do not use artificial almond flavored coffee syrups!)
Juice from one fresh lime (.75 oz but any given Whole Foods lime can be extra juicy or really dry so measure -- Whole Foods also sells lime squeezers)
Combine everything, and shake with a handfull of crushed ice (not too much ice!).
Pour into a double old fashioned glass, put on a hawaiian shirt, and drink it with a straw. Yum.
Piemonte Ravioli
190 Grand St, New York, NY 10013
re: west34
My home mai tai is also similar (cribbed from Beachbum Berry's books):
1 oz. Appleton Estate 12 -- one of my current favorites and a GREAT value
1 oz. St. James Hors D'Age
1/2 oz orange curacao -- a friend just gave me some Sr. Curacao, I've sadly only been using Bols this whole time
1 oz. lime juice
1/4 oz. orgeat -- have you tried the Trader Tiki brand? It's really good -- I'm with you on avoiding coffee syrups!
1/4 oz simple syrup
crushed ice
Shake and pour unstrained.
I think the Painkiller Mai Tai needs more dilution as they do a dry shake and then pour it over ice. They also float a 151 rum which I don't think is necessary. Their recipe:
3/8 oz. house-made orgeat
3/8 oz. house-made curacao
3/4oz. fresh lime juice
3/4 oz. Appleton V/X Jamaican rum
3/4 oz. Rhum Agricole (Rhum JM will do just fine)
1/4 oz. Lemon Hart Demerara rum (overproof)
Crushed ice. Dry Shake. Top with crushed. Float overproof.
re: kathryn
kathryn - I havent tried the Trader Tiki orgeat but I hear it's good. I have tried Fee Brothers, Sonoma, coffee syrup (Torani) and a couple home-made ones at NYC tiki home bars. I just ordered some Routin 1883 orgeat which is supposed to be spectacular (but it's pricy unlike Ferrara which is cheap at $5/bottle, local and quite yummy).
Painkiller was using Depaz that nite, another Martinique agricole, but you're right, that Lemon Hart float didn't seem to add much.
Mai Tai needs that pefect balance of rum, lime, almond, hint of orange and all I got from the PK one was a mouth full of demerara flavor and ice. (Not to mention they really need to replace that salsa music with some Martin Denny!)

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - The Miami City Ballet's founder and artistic director will retire at the end of the next season.
Former New York City Ballet star Edward Villella founded the Miami Beach-based dance company in 1986. It has grown from a small group with a limited repertory to a 45-member company that commissions new works from leading choreographers and earned standing ovations during a tour in Paris in July.
Villella will step down after the 2012-2013 season.
In a statement Thursday, Villella said the company's reception in Paris was one of the top two moments of his life as an artist. The other was hearing the audience demand an encore after his performance in Moscow in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The ballet's current season runs from Oct. 21 through April 2012.
