About Max's Seafood Cafe
Max's Café was built in 1890 as a shoe store. In 1912, 34 North Burlington Street reopened as Leisinger's Saloon for the next 25 years even through prohibition (as a "soft drink establishment"). In 1937, Leisinger's Saloon passed through the family & was renamed Max's Cafe; it's name for the next 65 years. In 1977, a new simply prepared fresh seafood menu transformed Max's Cafe into Max's Seafood Café. The neighboring building was acquired to seat the growing number of patrons from both sides of the Delaware River, often forming lines around the corner, waiting to enjoy fresh flounder, shrimp, clams, & most of all, Steamed Mussels! Max's reputation grew for the next 22 years before age & neglect left it in a state of disrepair. The bar restaurant closed in July of 1998 & remained dormant for 2 ½ years. Refurbished in late 2000, Max's Seafood Cafe reopened on June 2, 2001 to continue its tradition of hospitality, impeccably fresh seafood, & most of all Steamed mussels.

Max's Seafood Cafe Ratings and Reviews
Our server was excellent very attentive, efficient patient and very (forgive me) attractive I must say. He brought us everything we asked for and more. My bad, I forgot his name but the face I'll remember forever.
Food: oysters very good liked the pacific oysters the best, liked the that compound butter was used instead of plain loved the apple pecan kale salad. The bowl of veggies was tasty and impressive and imaginative. The Crab Cakes were delicious and sweet, they were a bit small, they were not heavily seasoned, just enough very little binder or filler however I was looking for more lump crab meat along with the backfin white flake meat. In summary dinner was very good. My dining companion had Oysters stew he which he loved. He ordered Several
More oysters and clams and linguini, he remarked that the clams And linguini could use a bit more flavor. That's ok as sometimes every establishment has an off night.
All in all food is fresh, very good is worth every penny.
I love the intimate rustic maritime ambience, noise level was minimal despite the fact my dining companion and I were the only ones there it was a Wednesday after all. Some things we requested they did not have that's ok.
Prices are reasonable. I will dine there again. Give Max your patronage and support and Keep this local business thriving by dining there soon. Thank you.
We went for lunch and found a varied menu that offered some interesting items that were unique. My friend had the grouper reuben and I had the fried oyster sliders. Both came with either a salad or fries and both selections were very good. Loved the neighborhood bar feel of the place. Service was friendly, prompt and thorough. It's a perfect lunch spot.
I remember Max's from years past . It was a great restaurant with outstanding food, esp the seafood. However, our last experience was a disappointment. We will try again soon. Hopefully you had a bad night, not to be repeated.
My husband and I have been to Max's Seafood several times. It was a while since we were there as we had a bad experience and thought we would give them another chance. While the food is good; the service still hasn't gotten any better.
only good things about our experience.. our waitress was fantastic and the drinks were delicious!
The food has definately gone down hill since last time we were there.
Stuffed shrimp was extremely fishy, and the crab cakes were nasty! Our waitress was very apologetic and offered to bring me something else, so i went with chicken parm.. thinking It's got to be better than the seafood..WRONG! It's a shame because they used to have great food... my recommendation, find a new chef!
I have been to Max's several times before, and the food and the service have always been exquisite. I recently went to Max's on a Friday evening and the food was terrible. The special, which was a catfish, was obviously frozen fish filets, the bread that was brought to our table was cold and stale, the service was inadequate at best. Not sure if there was a management change, but bring back the old Max's. This was my favorite seafood place in Southern NJ, and I am not sure at this point that I would go back. Very disappointed because this was an A+ restaurant prior to this experience. At best, from this past dining experience, I would give it a C-. What happened???
First visit to this gem! Old fashioned saloon with beautiful woodwork and stamped tin ceiling. Good is fabulous! Thai mussels were great for bread dipping and grilled octopus nicely done over a potato olive and tomato ragu. Recipes were a different from the standard fare and all were delicious. Service was very good although the place was not busy on the Tuesday night when we were there.
Although the service was excellent and the restaurant itself was very pretty, we were a bit disappointed with the food. The grilled octopus appetizer was good but had too many very salty olives that overpowered the dish. My husband really enjoyed the stuffed long hots appetizer. My shrimp entree was very overcooked, leaving the shrimp very tough. My husband said his cedar-plank salmon was tasty but the accompanying sweet potato was sorely undercooked. We feel that the drinks were very over-priced. On the plus side, their homemade key lime pie was delicious. Again, our server was very good. I doubt that we will return.
It made me check of how many stars, but we didn't eat here. We pushed our reservation back , and then tried again because we were running quite late. It turns out the restaurant closed at 9, but the hours on Open Table listed as 10, so we weren't able to go. No big deal, and it was our fault, but I just wanted you to know so you could update. We will try again to go, as we really wanted to go here.
I found the service and food was great, my grandmother would tell me that Max's had the best crab cakes she ever had. Well, I had the Clam Casino and Crab Cakes and would have to say " Yes grandmother that was the best I have had in 40 years" if you never had Clam Casino you need to try Max's, they make the real thing!!
I have already put the word out to my friends they need to give Max's a shot for a great seafood meal or just for the crab cakes and Clam Casino!!! Thank you Tom for the gift card, it's worth every dollar!! And yes we will be back before the summers over, no need to go to the shore to have a great seafood meal!
Ken & Lisa Norris
Great service. Key Lime pie was outstanding. Seating better in front room. Too dark for me in the back room. Good color presentation with salmon, which was crusted with pecans lightly versus drowning in them. Parking lot available. Accepts Ipen Table dining rewards.
consistency is a key element of a restaurant that you enjoy going back to, not just for that special occasion but just because. Max's delivers on all elements, food, and selection of course, but also as a nice comfortable place to eat. The staff are professional and friendly and work hard to ensure your visit is a good experience. Drinks are well made and generous, bar staff attentive and good at what they do. The food has been, in our numerous visits consistently excellent, creative and fresh. All in all a place you are always comfortable visiting.
At the last minute on Father's Day, the wife and I had a hankering for good seafood and were able to make reservations at Max's Seafood in Gloucester City. We were given our choice of seating by the hostess, and greeted shortly by our waitress. We ordered drinks and also the Grilled Octopus Salad, which was very, very good - great grilled taste! This was followed by two cups of Shrimp Bisque, which arrived cold and unappetizing, so we sent the soup back to be reheated. This is where things get interesting. It took 20 minutes to get our soup back (which did come back steaming), and when finished the soup, then spent almost another 25 minutes waiting for our entrees. Both were very good, but we got the impression that after we sent back the soup that someone (the kitchen, server?) was not happy with us. Several tables that arrived after us had already been served, paid their bill and left. We will probably return, but will be looking for more professional service.

To can food at home, you combine canning safe glass jars, lids with rubber gaskets, food that's safe for canning and the right heat processing. Home canning allows you to preserve almost any food – even entire meals – but you need to follow the rules. I do the bulk of my canning during harvest season, but can fire up the canner any time of year. One trick I've taken advantage of is to toss whole fruit (like tomatoes) or fruit puree into the freezer, and then finish processing when the weather has cooled. In this post I'll discuss how to can food at home safely, basic equipment for home canning, and general canning tips.
7 Best Chicken Tips for First Time Chicken Owners
Chickens are all the rage these days, and while I'm usually not big fan of "trends," I happen to think this is a good one! There is a lot of chicken raising information out there and it can definitely be overwhelming at first. While I don't claim to be the final authority of all things chicken, I've kept a flock for several years now and want to share my seven best chicken tips for simplifying your chicken keeping.

Homestead Goats – What You Need to Know to Get Started
Raising your own homestead goats as dairy animals is a great way to get connected to your food source. Goats are not only a fabulous source of high quality milk, but are an incredibly versatile animal on a homestead. Homestead goats can also provide meat, fiber, carry a pack, clear brush, or serve as a livestock companion. Dairy goats have endearing personalities, which make them a joy to keep on virtually any size homestead. [Read more…]
Getting Started With Dutch Oven Cooking
If you can cook in a dutch oven you can cook anywhere and anyplace–literally and figuratively. Yes, you can cook indoors and outdoors, in a stove, over a fire, in a hearth, on a wood stove, even in a sun oven, which is all pretty amazing. But there is something about that knowledge that spills into other parts of your culinary life. Maybe, it's the nostalgic images of our ancestors cooking over an open flame in a dutch oven that gives you confidence that the way has been paved, perhaps it's simply the knowledge that if you can't get it to work the way you want with one method you can find another, or maybe it's just the attitude of if they're hungry they'll eat it as people have done for centuries because what is cooking in the dutch oven is what's for dinner.
Getting Started with Dutch Oven Cooking
Dutch ovens can be made of ceramic, clay, or cast iron. I will be focusing on cast iron dutch ovens in this post as they are the most common and most versatile dutch ovens. [Read more…]

Getting Started with Essential Oils – Address Common Ailments with Natural Solutions
When I started looking into living more naturally the first thing I was concerned about was what was lurking in my medicine cabinet. I started pouring over ingredients and expiration dates. To say I didn't love what I found is a slight understatement. Did you know that most medicine contains artificial colors and flavoring, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, as well as ingredients that could cause liver damage, drowsiness, stomach ulcers, hyperactivity…you get the idea.

1 Learn how to read your meters, and your bills: Before you can start thinking about how to save money on your heating bills, you have to know how much you are paying.
Many people have no idea because (a) they don't read their bills, and (b) they don't read their gas and electricity meters.
The amount you are paying per kilowatt hour (kWh, or "unit") for gas and electricity will be on your bills. And the number of units you use is recorded on your gas and electricity meters.
Meters are no longer read on a regular basis by meter readers, so most bills are now estimated. Also, many customers pay by monthly direct debit on so-called "budget" plans, meaning they don't know how much fuel they are using from month to month.
So, for your New Year's resolution, you should learn how to read your bills and your meters, and then use an independent comparison website that is transparent about which energy companies pay it for referrals – and still lists the companies that pay it nothing (such as www.energyhelpline.com)
2 Use the cheapest fuel available: For those who have a choice between gas and electricity, which is cheaper – keeping the gas boiler running throughout the summer to heat water, or just using the electric immersion heater? Many seem to think they are saving money by turning the boiler off, but they are almost always wrong.
Natural (or "town") gas costs around 3.5p per kWh or unit, and, allowing for boiler efficiency of 85 per cent (which includes the apparent "wasted" heat warming the boiler casing), this equates to just over 4p. An electric immersion heater running on standard-rate electricity costs around 12p per unit – three times more expensive.
The same arithmetic applies to heating rooms with electric fan heaters, rather than using the gas central heating. The gas is almost always the cheaper option, and individual radiators can always be turned off if you are worried about heating unoccupied rooms.
3 Cut heat loss through windows: The most effective way to make your home warmer and cut your fuel bills is to draught-proof your doors and windows. If you slowly run the back of your hand around the edges of doors and windows you will soon feel where the cold outside air is getting in. A roll of self-adhesive foam rubber draught strip is cheap (around £5), easy to apply, will result in an immediate improvement in comfort, and will pay for itself within weeks. A further improvement can be achieved with professionally fitted sliding secondary glazing, which will cost a few hundred pounds and have a payback period of three to five years. But it makes a big difference to internal comfort levels, cuts down external road noise, and preserves the original glazing – especially important in period properties.
Replacement double- glazing, on the other hand, might give the impression of making your home warmer, but this is usually because it is more draught-proof than the windows it replaced. It has a payback period of 30 to 50 years.
4 Check your loft insulation: Current government advice is to have 10in (250mm) of "loft insulation" above the top-floor bedroom ceilings. Unfortunately, this advice never specifies which type of material to use, or how to install it without creating massive condensation problems in the roof space. Many readers complain that having increased the depth of loft insulation as instructed, they now have water dripping from the sarking felt between the rafters. Also, such a depth of fibreglass or mineral-wool fibre interferes with boarding-out of the loft space to use for storage. Rigid foam board insulation (Kingspan or Celotex), on the other hand, is a more effective material, so 4in (100mm) thick sections can be cut to fit and still allow boarding-out.
However, note that increasing loft insulation levels using any type of material will result in the roof space itself becoming cooler. This will increase the risk of condensation forming on the sarking felt, roof timbers, and the undersides of the tiles or slates. Increased ventilation can help, but it is difficult to strike a balance between insulating the house below and keeping the roof space dry.
Unfortunately, the government propaganda does not explain how to deal with this conundrum.
5 Fit underfloor insulation: A much-neglected area. We are all familiar with advertisers' diagrams showing that 25 per cent of heat loss is through the roof, 35 per cent through the walls, etc. But insulating the ground floors of a property can achieve remarkable effects, not least by raising comfort levels. Even in an otherwise well-heated and insulated home, there is always a "heat gradient" on the ground floors, where your head might be at a comfortable 22C but your feet are at a chilly 8C. Underfloor insulation stops this and – allied with underfloor heating – can do wonders for your internal comfort levels, whilst cutting heating bills at the same time.
6 Protect water pipes against frost damage: Water expands on freezing, which is what causes the damage. Especially important in highly insulated roof spaces (see "4"), because heat kept in the rooms below means less heat keeping the loft warm. Loft insulation should be draped over pipes and tanks, so that they are still warmed by heat coming up through the ceilings.
Very exposed pipes, such as those feeding outbuildings or outside utility rooms, can be protected by taping trace-heating cables to them (best done by a qualified electrician).
7 Save water: If you are on a water meter, then save water by fitting Interflush water saving devices to your WC cisterns (www.interflush.co.uk , 0845 045 0276).
They provide a completely variable flush – much more pleasant than leaving the WC unflushed (as some environmental activists advocate).
8 If there's one thing you spend your money on this year it should be: Make sure your gutters, downpipes and drains (or soakaways) are doing their job properly. The most serious damage to properties is caused by water, and all water on earth comes down from the sky. Half an hour maintaining gutters can save hundreds of pounds in future repair bills.

The band's name is Harlem.
The album title is "Hippies".
The band's name is Harlem.
The album title is "Hippies".
I also wanted to mention one other thing:
Drag Queen. Mekare. Llorando. Watch yourself.
Up until this moment, all of my titles have been lines from songs. Every. Single. Title. I guarantee you. Google that shit. I put down everything I own, I ain't lyin'.
The above is the anomaly.
(Title Card: Last Week, Thursday)
I walk into a record store. It is a record store I did not know existed and just happened upon. It is in moments like these my inner Indiana Jones kicks in, and I must explore. For who knows what treasure may await the ardent adventurer who goes forth into the unknown….
[fast forward]
I'm holding an album I bought on an impulse. The band's name? Harlem "Hippies". (Yes, the quotation marks are in the name.) The album has no title I can find. Granted, I haven't looked on the actual record, because I am listening to it as I write this. In fact, as I wrote this I was listening to the song Gay Human Bones. <smack, smack=""> Stay on point McCullock!
I'm holding an album I bought on an impulse. The band's name? Harlem "Hippies". (Yes, the quotation marks are in the name.) The album has no title I can find. I bought about six different records total, everything from The Kinks to The BEatles to Clarence "Gatormouth" Brown. <smack, smack=""> I'm GOOd, dammit! I'm good. I'm on point. Just follow. Geez.
I'm holding an album I bought on an impulse. The band's name? Harlem "Hippies". (Yes, the quotation marks are in the name.)….
[fast forward]
Me: Hey. You want to listen to this with me? I have no idea who they are, or what they sound like.
Him: Sure!
{I put on Side A. Song starts….}
[long pause. VERY long.]
(He and I look at each other)
Together: I LIKE it!
I gotta tell you, I bought this record purely because of the cover. AND the name of the band.
Here. See?
I swear to you, up and down, upside down, however the fuck it's gonna make you believe me. I bought this on a whim. And, it ended up being one of my most favorite albums of all time.
{I just walked over and flipped the record to B. There is no album title on the actual vinyl record either.}
The photos on the album sleeve are oddly alluring, and quite beautiful. I leave it to those of you who may actually be interested, to converse with me further on this topic.
The beginning is always a delicate time. When you have nowhere to go but forward (or up) then forward is the way you go. The reemergence of the caterpillar as butterfly is a metaphor long used by those who seek to artistically make sense of this life. It is usually the symbol for rebirth or coming into "who you are". If I have learned one thing on the limited time I have had on this big ball spinning out in the midst of everything, it's that nothing remains the same. Nothing. It's scary to think of our lives in the terms on a light bulb. It's always comes on until it dies. Then it's replaced. There is a comfort, a peace, in realizing I am no different from anyone else on this planet, and it is my job to carry no more or no less than anyone who may be standing beside me.
I love the Harlem "Hippies".
I honestly have no idea where to begin.
SO much has happened. TOO much. So, let's start much like my life at the moment…
Clean. A completely wiped, shiny new, clean slate. It is was a difficult road to this moment, but I wouldn't change a single thing. Even 2012. Well, I guess that's not true – I would have one thing be different. But that's for me to know.
This year has, once again, been filled with a lot of loss. Three of my dear friends were taken before their time. Friends once close are now distant. My relationship is ended. I have moved, FINALLY, into an apartment I am subletting until the end of April, and then – who knows? My job, which I LOVE, comes to an end on the same day I have to be out of the apartment. And while that may sound like a list of not so good things, all of these things have led to the place I am right at this very moment. And it is a good, if not a bit lonely at times, place.
The best part of this transition is the fact that my son and I are finally living alone. Just he and I. Like I have dreamed of for years. It's has been and incredible experience getting to be his father without the hurdle of my mother being in the way. I get to cook. I get to decide what we eat. I get to wash the clothes and clean and make sure he has his lunch and all the other things a parent does. It is difficult doing it alone at times. But I love every second of it, because I love being his father.
I am going to end there, because I really don;t have anything to say. I just want to get back into writing here more often and I had to start somewhere. Sometimes, just doing anything is enough.
If you're still out there, then I want to say hello and thanks for sticking with me.
Until next time.
Today is my sons thirteenth birthday. He is thirteen years old. Crazy.
Being his dad has been quite the adventure. Everything from figuring out how in the hell to be a dad in the first place, to reading The Hobbit at bedtime and doing all the voices, to telling him his grandfather – his best friend – had passed away three days after his 8th birthday. He has, through it all, been a little Buddha. And I am so incredibly proud of the young man he has become.
Based on the reaction (or overreaction) to some of my posts I have decided to not share too many personal things, especially in regards to my son. I just wanted to mark this day and celebrate him for the amazing young man he is and always has been.
Happy Birthday Monkey.
Love dad.

When I was approached to head the committee planning One Billion Rising for InnerMission Productions in San Diego I was both humbled and excited. Humbled that anyone could have that much faith in me and trust me with such an important undertaking. Excited because this event meant so much to me and I knew we could make it amazing, impactful and ground shaking.
When I was approached about kicking off our blogging for the event however, all I felt was deer in the headlight fear. How to write something that would be inspirational, thought provoking and represents our mission. Funny that stringing my thoughts together and sharing them with the world was more terrifying than the responsibility of planning a major event. The long and short of it was, planning the event is what I do, I'm good at details and I love lists. Sharing my intimate thoughts and feelings with the world? Um, not so much. So I wrote something impersonal, and it felt preachy and sanctimonious. Then I wrote something really personal and it felt like a chaotic rant. So I reached out to people.
My husband:"Just write, don't worry about it being inspirational, just make it honest."
My best friend:"It's the stories that inspired your involvement, let them lead your blog."
My little sister: "Make a list."
And once I really listened I realized that they were all right.
So I'm giving you a little bit of all three. I was asked two questions that I have yet to answer. The first, What is your reason to rise? The second, Why did you want to lead One Billion Rising? I was having a hard time answering them, because there isn't just one reason. As I mentioned earlier, well…I love lists. So here it is. The Answer to both questions:
1. because I am one of the billion
2. because of the 20 women who sat in the room with me last year and their stories
3. because I am lucky enough to know there are good men and am loved by one
4. for the men of MENding and their stories and strength
5. because 14 year old girls should not be shot in the street for using their voices and asking to be educated
6. for all the voices that have been silenced
7. because the story of a 21 year old girl raped and killed by her neighbor should not be buried behind stories of Hollywood and reality TV drama
8. because 19 people knew and did nothing
9. because we will no longer be silent
10. because 12 year old girls commit suicide to escape their abusive arranged marriages
11. because men of power are trying to redefine rape
12. because women of power are standing by them for "political" reasons
13. because I HAVE A VOICE
14. because we are not alone
15. because I love you
16. because we are not alone
17. for the City of Joy
18. for my sisters in Port-au-Prince, Bukavu, New Orleans…
19. for the generations before, who were told to keep it themselves
20. for my daughter, my nieces, my sisters
21. because I want to teach my son to be a good man
22. because I want the world to notice
23. because we deserve to dance
24. because I am OVER it
25. because 1 in 3. Because there are ONE BILLION reasons to rise
I could have kept going. Those are but a few reason of why I am not only rising, but I am leading the charge. There are so many stories. Too many stories. Every day from every corner of the Earth new stories are being heard. Let's reshape the world, let's make sure that the stories aren't just heard, that they are felt; they are responded to; and they are eradicated.
I will stand up and be counted on 2.14.2013. Will you join us? Will you stop the world and show them what One Billion looks like?
What does One Billion look like? Well, to borrow from Eve, on February 14th it will look like a revolution.
See you there.
I am certain, if you have read my previous posts, you will be able to tell I am treading lightly with this one. It is delicate, and must be treated as such. I do not mean to suggest I am not going to be completely honest. I just intend to honor the delicate nature of the beast. However, I gotta talk about it because it's exciting as all hell.
She's really fricken cool. Funny, intelligent, charming, sweet, honest, broken and drop dead gorgeous. Her smile alone would knock you off your feet. When she's nervous, she dances. A whole row a women all getting ready to perform, and there she is bouncing around. It's pretty damn adorable. She has a deep faith in Christ, but isn't an ignorant asshole. She treats people the way she wishes to be treated – done and done. She's had horrible things done to her, and yet she still manages to shine. She likes a lot of the same geeky things I do, as well as a lot of the non-geeky things. She loves Thompson. She's read my blog – and didn't run away. In fact, it made her want to get to know me better. For the first time, in a very long time, I am genuinely excited about someone. Someone I honestly believe could be a good thing. I'm even willing to go to church with her. Asked her if I could, in fact. Actually, what I asked was; "Would it be weird if I said I'd like to go to church with you? The question being, would it be weird?" Her answer? "Not at all."
She's awesome, you guys. Really fricken, even.
Okay, so, maybe I didn't tread as lightly as I said I would. That's only because I have no intention of posting this unless it all works out. So, if you are reading this, it did.

The craftsmanship required for finishing a pair of spectacle lenses means paying attention to detail throughout several labor-intensive steps. In particular, finishing premium lenses can improve a bottom line or wreck it if spoilage is high.
The following tech tips are designed to help you prevent spoilage and improve efficiency at the various stages in the lens finishing process.
- Cleanliness in the finishing lab is critical. Dirt, debris and particles will not only affect equipment, but also cause scratches. This is not just true for the edger, but the overall lab. Keep floors, walls, counter tops and tools clean. Clean the overall lab daily and keep logs of when cleanings are done. AR coatings are especially susceptible to scratching from particles that may not affect uncoated lenses.
- Batch the jobs. This may be easier said than done, especially in a retail setting where fast turn around time and emergency rush jobs are critical factors for dispensing success. However, as much as possible, group the finishing jobs by material. Most edgers can cut more than one lens material, but unless the edger is thoroughly cleaned, this can expose the lenses to scratching. Glass and polycarbonate, lab managers agree, can be particularly messy.
- Even lenses edged in the most sophisticated patternless edger will sometimes require touch up work with a hand stone. Follow manufacturer guidelines keeping the stone sharp and the bearings in the machine oiled. Trying to cut a lens down a size is a procedure best done in the edger and not by the hand stone. Use the hand stone for touch up work only. Chipping and pitting may indicate that too much pressure by the technician is being placed on the lens, which can also result in cracking.
- The safety bevel is also placed on a lens by a hand stone, which basically blunts the edge of the lens so it will not cut the patient. The hardest lenses to safety bevel are high-plus lenses—these edges tend to be the sharpest, likewise they're the thinnest and easiest to break. Edge chipping or cracking, or a bevel becoming misaligned, usually indicates too much pressure from the technician on the hand stone.
- For nylon and wire rimless frames, a hand groover is necessary. Keep the groover clean, as well as your hands. This is a very labor-intensive procedure, during which lenses can easily be scratched.
- Drill mountings for rimless frames use a guide or pattern to ensure the holes are drilled in the proper place. If not used, the holes can be misaligned. Also, if the temporal and nasal edges are not the proper thickness, the drill can crack or chip the lens, a common problem for high-plus lenses.
- Lens mounting, the last step, requires skill and care. Scratches are the big concern here due to the intensive handling required to put the lens in the frame. Make sure the mounting area and technician's hands. Another common pitfall occurs when a technician attempts to mount a lens that is too big for a frame. Usually, touching up the lens on the hand stone will correct the lens sizing. However, technicians may try to manipulate the frame.
With zyl frames, where a heated salt pan is used to warm the frames, too much exposure can warp the lens. "Salt pan" is actually a holdover term from previous generations and today's salt pans are actually filled with glass beads. Although the beads can last a very long time, they do have to be replaced and dirty beads can affect a job. A common problem is that the beads can also be caught inside the eyewire, which can cause pitting and scratches, but always results in sloppy work.
- With metal frames, trying to force the frame around the lens can lead to bending, even cracking the lens or the frame. In both instance, the frame itself can lose its original shape, spoiling both the frame and the lens. Check sizing before mounting and use as gentle a "touch" as possible.
- Most tinting and UV treatment errors can be easily bleached out and although extra time will be added to the job, the lens is not spoiled. However, a few simple procedures must be kept in mind so the worst doesn't happen. Edge the lens before tinting it. Don't add UV to high-index plastic or polycarbonate. These lenses have inherent UV inhibiting capabilities and the treatment may craze the scratch coating. Also, maintain consistent temperatures in the tint baths, between 200 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Exceeding this temperature range can warp lenses.
- Change edger coolant regularly—at least weekly for most small edging labs—if more than two dozen pairs of lenses are edged by the machine within a week, change the coolant twice a week or more. Some technicians recommend using two coolant buckets, one for glass and one for plastic, and switching them when the operator changes materials. Dirty coolant can lead to numerous forms of spoilage, including chipping and scratches, as well as knock out of alignment water nozzles in the edger, causing the cutting point to change, cutting lenses off-size. If your edger uses re-circulated water (as opposed to fresh water), most lab managers recommend changing the water approximately every 15 to 20 jobs.
For approximately every 100 to 150 jobs, run warm soapy water through the machine to clean out any lingering particles and debris. Labs with smaller volumes do this procedure more frequently. Running warm soapy water through the machine is also a good idea for edgers using fresh water, except it doesn't need to be done as frequently.
- Know what you are finishing. When lens and frame manufacturers introduce new products, inquire as to the finishing specification, including chuck pressure, cycle times and mounting techniques. Do not introduce new lenses or frames without knowing if the lens can be edged, or if the frame can be traced, or if the pattern for that frame is accurate. Before introducing a new brand of lenses to your finishing lab, check with the lens manufacturer for finishing specifications and recommendations. Most lens manufacturers will supply labs with demo lenses to run through the finishing system.
- Technicians should be aware that extra careful handling is required when edging AR lenses. The coating can be susceptible to scratches and crazes. Some lab managers recommend protecting AR lenses on both sides with protective edging tape or blocking pads. If using blocking pads, do not leave pads on lenses overnight or else the lenses can be permanently marked. Remove the lens from the chuck carefully and peel edging tape off gently. When mounting an AR lens into a frame, avoid excessive pressure on the center of the lens when inserting the lens into the frame. If using axis alignment pliers, carefully rotate and do not twist or torque the lens.
L&T Basics
Finishing different types of lens materials and treatment requires a few adjustments in finishing technique. Here are some basic techniques to use when edging polarized, polycarbonate, high-index plastic and progressive lenses.
Polarized lenses require special handling at several steps in the finishing process to minimize spoilage and enhance performance, optics and cosmetics. Polarized lenses are twice as expensive as their non-polarized counterparts. Therefore, pay careful attention when processing the product.
- Polarized lenses feature a "polarizing filter"—a film or laminate that filters out reflected glare. In glass polarized lenses, the polarization filter is sandwiched between the front and back sides of the lens, but the technology that produces polarized polycarbonate and plastic lenses moves that laminate closer to the front surface of the lens. And with poly, the laminate is actually on the front surface of the lens. With plastic and high-index plastic, the laminate is less than a millimeter beneath the front surface. On these jobs, caution is key.
Lens slippage in the edger, which can be caused by incorrect chuck pressure, clogged wheels and inaccurately calibrated edges, will knock the lens off the axis. One way to ensure the lens is on axis after edging is to check the performance of the polarization. Some dispensers keep a marked polarized lens blank in the lab. After the polarized lens is edged, place one lens over the other, turning one 90 degrees. If the lens is finished for optimum polarized performance, it should block out the light at the correct axis line.
Remember: High-index plastic does not finish like conventional plastic. It requires special handling because it is softer and can flex during processing. It is also, like poly, more sensitive to scratches and heat.
Unlike polycarbonate, however, high-index plastic is a more diverse lens category. Terms such as mid-index and "higher-index" differentiate the number of indices now available (in general, from 1.53 to 1.74). Retailers selling high-index plastic typically use a variety of manufacturers—their 1.60 supplier is very likely a different manufacturer than their 1.66 vendor. Each substrate finishes a little different, experienced dispensers say.
- To avoid warpage and scratching, all finishing lab equipment and the general lab area must be kept clean when processing high-index plastic. Dust and grit can damage the lens and excessive debris build-up can also generate heat, potentially hot enough to warp high-index plastic. Experienced dispensers suggest wiping the lens off before and after edging, using a clean towel—not one lying around the lab.
Successful fitting and finishing of progressives is related. The key to both is the proper positioning of the "fitting cross."
The fitting cross, which is marked by the manufacturer on the lens, is the major reference point of the lens and indicates the optical center as well as the placement of the distance, intermediate and near powers. The fitting cross must be positioned so that the patient's pupil is centrally located behind it. Different brands of progressives place the fitting cross in slightly different areas because of the specifics of their respective designs.
- A patient's pupillary distance and monocular height determine the position of the fitting cross in a finished progressive. For finishing, the lens must be "decentered." In other words, the fitting cross must be properly aligned on the layout blocker so the optical center of the lens (i.e., intersection of the fitting cross) will be positioned over the center of the patient's pupil when the lens is edged and mounted.
To assist in-office lab techs and dispensers, contemporary layout blockers now use computer monitors that show operators the correct position of the fitting cross during blocking. In addition, on-board software calculates pupillary distance and monocular height for proper decentration. With today's patternless edgers, operators follow computer prompts and align the fitting cross with the image or guides on the system's layout screen. In the past, these calculations were done by hand.
- Sometimes the manufacturer's factory markings can come off during surfacing. To deal with this, some wholesale labs will use either a marker or verification sticker to indicate the fitting cross. A mild acetone should be used to remove any markings in order to prevent coating damage. Remove these verification stickers before blocking the lens. If left on, they can cause slippage and clog the edger, jeopardizing edge integrity and possibly damaging the machine itself.
Because polycarbonate is susceptible to warping and scratching during processing, proper handling and equipment maintenance are key. If a poly lens is damaged during processing, dispensers should check all equipment at each and every stage of the process to track and address the problem. Too much pressure in the edger's chuck, which clamps the lens as it is being edged, is a common source of finishing scratching with polycarbonate.
- Cutting polycarbonate generally takes between 30 seconds and two minutes longer than conventional plastic, depending on the edger. The lens stock removed is not fine or powdery like plastic. It comes off in spirals, making the swarf "chunkier," which in turn can "gum" up the cutting devices in the edger. Therefore, edging polycarbonate requires more cleaning and general maintenance of the equipment due to the distinctive texture of its swarf.


text: I've had my 40" since November, use the AMNPS, and have had good results with PB, pork ribs, turkey, and fish. I've often wondered why the MeatProbe (MP) reads about 20degF high and BoxProbe (BP) read about 30degF higher than a $20 Taylor (which agrees within 1F to a Omega thermocouple meter using a type-K probe). I took the cover off the controller, and figured out the wires to the harness. I think both the MP and BP use thermistors which are probably spec'd at 230-250Kohms at 25C(71F). The top of the thermistors are biased to the supply voltage of the controller (which is about 4.3VDC, coming from the PCB at the bottom of the MES with the relays to drive the element and the LEDs. Basically it's the output of a 7805 thru a diode, why I have no idea). The bottom of the thermistors go to 20Kohm resistors to ground, and the junction point goes to the controller chip (no idea if it's a custom chip or something like an Atmel micro) I recorded Taylor, MP, BP, and Omega readings with all the probes in a bottle of boiling water that was allowed to cool, and other runs with thermocouples in both the MES air and attached to the BP, and also recorded the junction voltage to the MP thermistor on the controller. I think maybe Masterbuilt assumed that they were using 250Kohm thermistors, but got some that were on the low side; I think I read somewhere that thermistors might have as much as 5-10% error from an ideal curve. Anyway, I wanted better accuracy in the 140-270 range, so I calculated that 20Kohm resistors to ground should be more like 15Kohms. I tacked 60Kohm resistors in parallel with the 20K to generate 15K total, and now the MP reads 6-8degF high compared to the Omega, and the BP reads 12degF high. The downside is that now at ambient the MP and BP read about 10degF low, but I don't really care about that region. Here is a picture of what I did: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1qeJaeZR7FoE5DYUAuYJ1dGpkpmIrOtDK0qOasatYZQg/edit?usp=sharing I wouldn't recommend this mod unless you are comfortable playing around with electronics. If you goof it and short out the resistors, then the controller will never turn off the element, and you'll be depending on the Klixon to eventually cut off the heating. I have yet to read about the Klixon working, but lots of horror stories of the box overheating. I plan to replace the controller someday, perhaps with an Ardunio. Mike

Uganda: police close Catholic radio station
A Catholic radio station in Uganda went off the air during a religious broadcast last Wednesday, when Ugandan police raided the premises and took away equipment. Staff now say they are "under seige". The station, Radio Kyoga Veritas FM, housed within the compound of the Soroti Catholic Diocese Integrated Development Organization (SCDIO), was overrun by police led by district police commander Patrick Awai, News Without Borders reports. Claiming they were carrying out a security search, the police confiscated the station's news scripts and 25 tapes of testimonies by people affected by the fighting in the region between rebels and government forces, recently broadcast by the station. Fr Athanasius Mubiru, the station director, said: "They have been saying that we have been putting on air sensational news. But we have not." He said the station had recently broadcast news and interviews about attacks by LRA rebels in Katakwi - but these were done to alert people for their own safety. "What the people of Teso need is the truth, it is only the truth which will solve this war situation," he said. Fr Mubiru said security officials have warned that they intend to make a further inspection of the station. Fr Mubiru said he has held meetings with the Army Commander, Maj Gen Aronda Nyakairima and other security officials. Bishop Erasmus Wandera has held discussions with the Minister of State for Defence, Ruth Nankabirwa, in Soroti. Veritas FM reaches about 14 districts, including those affected by the rebel insurgency. The LRA rose up against the Ugandan government in 1988, ostensibly to replace it with a regime based on the Bible's Ten Commandments. But the campaign has been marked by abductions and killings of civilians. Four Catholic missions have been attacked and dispensaries and convents vandalized in the region since the LRA made incursions into northeast Uganda. Source: AFP/NWB

Heart Maps; a list of ideas that we could write about
We are continuing to grow as authors and illustrators everyday. This week we were introduced to our Writing Workshop folders, one green and one red. Our green "GO" folders are for stories that we are currently working on. Our red "STOP" folders are for finished stories. Throughout the year, as we learn new strategies, we will be adding different writing tools to our folders to use as helpful hints during writing time. At the beginning of the week we each made a Heart Map. We talked about how some authors write about things, people, and times that are important to them. Authors write from their heart! Some write about their families or vacations they have had or the time they took their dog on a walk. We brainstormed some more ideas and then filled our Heart Maps with story ideas that were important to us. They did an awesome job. Here are some examples of their awesome work. They will be able to use this idea bank when they aren't sure what to write about. Next week, I will be sending a Heart Map home with the children. I will ask for them to fill the heart with pictures from home of things that are important to them. This will also be used for an idea bank for when they can't think of something to write about. Here is a link to the FREE templates. CLICK HERE

US film director Sofia Coppola will marry French rock singer Thomas Mars in August in her family's ancestral town of Bernalda in southern Italy, an Italian newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The wedding will take place in Palazzo Margherita, the 19th-century villa that Coppola's legendary filmmaker father Francis Ford Coppola restructured in the town, La Stampa daily reported without citing a source.
Bernalda is where Sofia Coppola's great-grandfather came from.
Coppola was previously married to director Spike Jonze, whom she divorced in 2003, four years after their wedding. She and Mars, the lead singer in the French rock band Phoenix, have two children and live in Paris.
Hollywood heavyweights Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Sylvester Stallone and Nicholas Cage are all expected to attend the wedding, the report said.
The 40-year-old director is a winner of the Golden Lion in Venice for her film "Somewhere" and is perhaps best known for her 2003 work "Lost in Translation" starring Bill Murray which was nominated for four Oscars.

…and, as this AP article notes, "Should Christopher Hitchens win a National Book Award, you can be sure he won't thank any higher powers.
"The author, columnist and commentator was nominated for 'God Is Not Great,' a polemic with a self-evident theme."
Side note: Hitchens recently penned a piece for Vanity Fair that had him going to a California spa and taking yoga classes, etc. At the end of the piece, the magazine noted that Hitchens' next self-help installment would have him going cold turkey on booze and cigarettes. Well, in the latest issue, Hitchens' contribution is about the death of an American soldier in Iraq, so he bought himself a month. But, soon, expect Hitchens to put down the bottle and Rothmans as he works on his next Vanity Fair piece.

Roberts rescues streaking Illini
CARBONDALE — Reliever Bryan Roberts helped streaking Illinois escape a ninth-inning jam, and his teammates responded with three runs in the top of the 10th to pull out a 7-5 nonconference baseball victory against Southern Illinois on Saturday.
Roberts entered for the first time this season with the bases loaded and two outs in a 4-4 game. With no wiggle room, the fifth-year senior struck out Cody Daily on five pitches to extend the game.
When Illinois (12-4) went ahead for good in the next half-inning, Roberts earned his first win since May 1, 2010. It was just the fourth appearance for the right-hander since he underwent elbow surgery following the 2010 season.
"Bryan showed a lot of composure in a tough situation and got the big strikeout," UI coach Dan Hartleb said. "It's the first time he has been on the mound in a competitive situation in a long time, but he got the job done."
The victory was Illinois' 11th in its last 12 games. It's the program's most successful streak since 1998, when the Illini won 13 of 14.
After Roberts did his job, Illini hitters took it from there, loading the bases in the top of the 10th on singles by Jordan Parr and David Kerian, a sacrifice bunt by Thomas Lindauer and an intentional walk to Brandon Hohl.
Parr scored when Salukis second baseman Jake Welch misplayed a grounder by pinch hitter Ryan Nagle. Adam Walton followed with a safety squeeze that SIU reliever Lee Weld initially bobbled before throwing the ball over the first baseman's head, allowing two more runs to score.
Illini closer Reid Roper allowed one run in the 10th, earning his fourth save.
Five Illinois relievers combined to limit SIU to four hits and one run in 61/3 innings.
Illinois' 3-4-5 hitters combined for seven of the team's nine hits. Justin Parr went 3 for 6 with two RBI. Jordan Parr was 2 for 4 with an RBI, and Kerian finished 2 for 5.
In women's gymnastics:
Weinstein's perfect. Alina Weinstein scored the second perfect 10 in Illini history and set a program record in the all-around, leading Illinois to the State of Illinois Classic title at Chicago.
Weinstein's perfect score came in the vault on the UI's final rotation. Former Illini Cara Pomeroy also scored a 10 in 2004 in the uneven parallel bars.
Weinstein won all four event titles en route to an all-around score of 39.625, breaking her previous school mark of 39.600.
The Illini won their sixth straight Illinois Classic title.
In softball:
Illini win tourney. Illinois clinched the title of the weather-shortened Fighting Illini Invitational with a 6-4 victory against Saint Louis at Eichelberger Field.
The Illini went 3-0 in the round-robin portion of the event and were awarded the title when the four participating teams agreed to cancel the championship bracket due to cold weather.
Illinois (10-12) scored three runs in the second inning to take the lead for good, and winning pitcher Pepper Gay (6-8) limited the Billikens to four hits in seven innings. Gay issued seven walks but stranded 12 Saint Louis runners with the help of seven strikeouts.
Jessica Davis went 2 for 3 with a double and home run for Illinois.
In women's golf:
Schuldt in hunt. Illini junior Ember Schuldt shot a 1-over-par 73 in the second round to move into a share of seventh place in the Insperity Lady Jaguar Intercollegiate at Augusta, Ga. Schuldt's 36-hole total of 148 is 6 strokes off the pace set by Augusta State's Natalie Wille entering today's final round.
Illinois is 15th in the 18-team field with a 641 total following a second-round 322.

SAN JOSE — Irish eyes were smiling all around Silicon Valley on Sunday, as St. Patrick's Day coincided with warm and sunny weather.
Folks started bellying up to the bar before 9 a.m. at Rosie McCann's Irish Pub in Santana Row, drawn by ample libations and pub fare such as lamb stew with Guinness gravy. Nearby, a young African-American man wore a T-shirt that read, "I'M IRISH (for today)."
In downtown's San Pedro Square, O'Flaherty's Pub had run out of green beer by 3 p.m. Brendan O'Flaherty — whose father, Ray, 10 years ago opened what's become a downtown institution — reckoned a total of 5,000 people would pass through the pub's doors over the weekend.
Meanwhile, a traditional bagpipe and drum procession made its way down Sunnyvale's aptly named Murphy Avenue, where no fewer than three Irish bars share a one-block street.
"This is Christmas for us," said Aidan Mackey, co-owner of Lilly Mac's, who grew up in Dublin — the one in Ireland, not the East Bay.
Crowds were heavy at all three bars, which had scheduled a full slate of weekend entertainment including live music and step dancers. Friendly celebrants stood shoulder-to-shoulder at all the venues; at Santana Row's McCann's, there was a 50-minute wait for tables.
St. Patrick's Day also kept San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee busy. On Sunday, he led the annual holiday parade in the Irish city of Cork, which is trying to position itself as Ireland's tech capital.
Cork is home to the European headquarters of Apple, among others, and is also San Francisco's sister city. Lee, via email, quipped that he was excited to celebrate San Francisco's Irish heritage and the burgeoning startup scenes in both towns. The Chinese-American politician was even more excited to see the River Lee, which surrounds Cork's city center.
Lee also led San Francisco's parade on Saturday using video-conferencing technology from Cisco Systems and a mobile app from startup Ustream.
Tech ties between the valley and the Emerald Isle will continue to be a topic of conversation this week, as Enterprise Ireland — the venture capital arm of the Irish government — brings a delegation to Palo Alto. Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny will be among those speaking at a Thursday conference at legal powerhouse Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
Other enterprising lawyers were trying to keep the streets of San Francisco safe amid the St. Patrick's Day festivities. Luxor Cab was offering free rides for any tipsy party-goers in the city between 10 p.m. Sunday and 4 a.m. Monday.
The fine print? Revelers had to ask for a ride home, not to another bar. And when calling to book the cab, they had to mention the San Francisco law firm sponsoring the free rides: Berg Injury Lawyers.

A mother has made an emotional plea for the mobile phone stolen from her vulnerable teenage son to be returned.
Michael Reeks, 14, was out with friends when a thief took his HTC smartphone, worth £100, from him and ran off.
The youngster suffers from Aspergers, a form of autism, which makes it difficult for him to communicate and causes him anxiety and confusion, has not left his home since the incident last Sunday.
Now his mother June, 42, has called for the phone to be returned, saying it is a vital tool for the teen to carry, not only to keep in touch with family but to listen to music when social situations leave him feeling anxious.
She said: "Michael hasn't been out since this happened, he needs the phone to feel safe and secure.
"He's very upset.
"Financially we're not in position to buy him a new phone and we shouldn't have to either but I might have to now."
Lancashire Police confirmed it is looking into the matter.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We are investigating the matter and following up on a number of lines of enquiry."
The teen, a pupil at referral unit, Waterloo Lodge, in Chorley, was out walking with friends on St Annes Road, South Shore, when the phone was snatched from him between 1pm and 2pm on April 13.
Mrs Reeks, of Shaw Road, South Shore, said she believes her son has been targeted because of his disability.
Aspergers is a developmental disorder characterised by awkwardness in social situations and affects how a person makes sense of the world and relates to other people.
She added: "Michael needs his phone to feel safe. He doesn't understand social situations or social cues.
"He doesn't like going out because he thinks everyone is out to get him and hurt him.
"For him, it's like someone's taken his walking stick."

The effective date of coverage for students enrolled during the initial enrollment period will be from Aug. 1. For students enrolled after Sept. 15, the effective date of coverage will be the most recent 1st of the month unless a retroactive enrollment is approved.

An Equity Profile of the Los Angeles Region (2017)
An Equity Profile of the Los Angeles Region highlights the widening inequities in income, wealth, health, and opportunity in Los Angeles County. The report was developed by PolicyLink and the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) at USC, and is supported by the Weingart Foundation. While the nation is projected to become a people-of-color majority by the year 2044, Los Angeles reached that milestone in the 1980s. Los Angeles' diversity is a major asset in the global economy, but inequities and disparities are holding the region back. The report underscores how closing racial gaps in economic opportunity and outcomes will be key to the region's future. To read the full report, click here.
Highway to Health: Life Expectancy in Los Angeles County (2017)
A new brief published by Measure of America in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Highway to Health: Life Expectancy in Los Angeles County reveals up-to-date life expectancy calculations for cities and unincorporated areas within Los Angeles County, the first release of such data in more than a decade. The report examines 106 cities and unincorporated neighborhoods and includes recommendations for increasing life expectancy and reducing disparities. To explore the data, click here.
The Curb-Cut Effect by Angela Glover Blackwell (Stanford Social Innovation Review, January 2017)
There's an ingrained societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another. That equity is a zero sum game. In fact, when the nation targets support where it is needed most—when we create the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully—everyone wins. The corollary is also true: When we ignore the challenges faced by the most vulnerable among us, those challenges, magnified many times over, become a drag on economic growth, prosperity, and national well-being.

Measure of America: 2014-2015
Founded in 2007, Measure of America is a nonpartisan project of the Social Science Research Council. It creates easy-to-use yet methodologically sound tools for understanding well-being and opportunity in America and stimulates fact-based dialogue about these issues. Through printed and online reports, interactive maps, and custom-built dashboards, Measure of America works closely with partners to "breathe life" into numbers, using data to identify areas of need, pinpoint levers for change, and track progress over time.

Friday marks the 10-day countdown until the start of the season.
We've all missed seeing the boys in red play some meaningful baseball.
Don't worry, the Nationals will be playing the Mets very soon. We'll just have to wait a few more days to see the team at Nats Park.
Here are a few stories about the Nationals you may have missed from other media outlets.
* Nobody can argue that left fielder Bryce Harper is one of the most exciting young talents currently taking the majors by storm. Many seem to forget that Harper is only 21 and still learning to play baseball at the highest level. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick recently spent time with Harper in Nats camp in Viera, Fla. He has a very interesting profile on Harper, which features comments from third baseman Ryan Zimmerman.
* ESPN.com's David Schoenfield compiled a top 10 list of teams' "core fives" in the majors. The Nats landed the No. 7 ranking in Schoenfield's book. His Nats' core consisted of Harper, right-handers Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg, shortstop Ian Desmond and Zimmerman. He says keep an eye on Harper and Zimmermann, as both could contend for some hardware once the postseason is over. The Dodgers have the best core five, according to Schoenfield.
* Remember all the buzz at the beginning of the spring when the Nats brought out their new drone? Well, they may be in some hot water with the Federal Aviation Administration. According to this report, the Nationals never received permission from the FAA to use the drone. Commercial use of drones are banned by the FAA. The maximum penalty for operating a commercial drone is $10,000, according to the AP.
* Back in December, the Nats created some controversy when it was announced the team wanted the taxpayers of Washington D.C. to pay $300 million so the team could install a retractable roof. Well, taxpayers can breathe a sigh of relief, as the issue has been dropped according to Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner. Lerner said, "I don't believe it's going to happen." To watch what Lerner had to say, click here.
* In previous editions of Nationals Chatter, I've addressed the Nats' spring training facility issues. The team has reportedly been interested in moving to several different locations around Florida. Well, that move might be on hold. It turns out two top Nationals officials met with Brevard County commissioner Robin Fisher about upgrades for the team's current facility in Viera. For the latest developments, click here.
That's a wrap of this week's Nationals Chatter. Don't forget to come back to MASNsports.com daily for the latest on the Nationals.

GONZALES — Four of five men accused of a role in the slaying of a Gonzales area couple and their son in mid-February pleaded not guilty Tuesday morning to the charges against them.
Michael Aikens, 35, of Prairieville; Devon James, 24, of Prairievile; Bernard James, 25, of Prairieville; and Rolondo Durrell Stewart, 22, of Prairieville, entered their pleas Tuesday morning before Judge Alvin Turner Jr. of the 23rd Judicial District Court.
The four men and a fifth man, Travis Moore, 19, of Baton Rouge, were indicted on first-degree murder charges by an Ascension Parish grand jury last month.
Robert Irwin Marchand, 74, and his stepson, Douglas Dooley, 50, of Cross Plains, Tenn., were found dead on Feb. 18 in the Marchands' Babin Road house near Gonzales.
Shirley Marchand, 72, Robert Marchand's wife and Dooley's mother, was still clinging to life at the house but died March 2, deputies have said.
Moore pleaded not guilty to his charges on March 29, a day after he was indicted.
The arraignment Tuesday was held at the Ascension Parish Courthouse Annex in Gonzales.
The 23rd JDC covers Ascension, Assumption and St. James parishes.

White Shell Road, The Federalists
7 S. Broadway
Denver, CO, 80209
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Weaving elements of folk, country, pop and dark matter, Idlewhile weaves a vivid sound tapestry stained with the soul-prints of live, love and loss.
White Shell Road
One rainy night in late 2012 The Cardinal Grey's Chris Newton, Steve Bradfield and local musician/law prof Eric Franklin discussed the ridiculous idea of forming Denver's first, only and probably last Golden Smog tribute band in the effort to perform the Smog's 1995 record "Down by The Old Mainstream" from beginning to end and well just to "have a good time" Next thing you know local heros Ryan Dudas, Ryan Johnson and Paul Bennett from Denver's tour de force Bear Antler joined onto the project after many beers and coaxing and thus the group was born.......
So what does this mean for me you might ask? Well, you all have been cordially invited to watch them stumble through two shows full of midwestern themed rock and roll before one of them moves to Las Vegas to become an adult, here are those details:
Friday, May 31st at the Walnut Room (w/ special guests)
Saturday, June 15th at Hi Dive (opening for Idlewhile)
Happy 2013 and let's have some fun
White Shell Road
The Federalists
Hard driving, high plains rock-and-roll. Their songs are the signature of the high lonesome prairie, the sliding two-step of the honky tonk, and the good time grit of the garage Telecaster. These boys bring the crunch and the power; the ache of the minor key; the walk and the strut of Americana borne of the wide open spaces of Colorado.

UPDATE: The incident residents, including Montclair Mayor Robert Jackson, observed and believed to be a cyclist struck by a vehicle was not an accident. Baristanet has learned after inquiries to Montclair Police, that a 19-year-old male from Montclair was injured after he fell off his bicycle on Bellevue Avenue on July 30. Both witnesses and the injured cyclist confirmed that the fall did not involve a motor vehicle according to Montclair Police.
Lt. David O'Dowd tells Baristanet that the cyclist had bags on his bike that got caught in the spokes, causing him to fall off his bike. He was taken to University Hospital in Newark due to his injuries. The report does not indicate whether the cyclist was wearing a helmet.
"Seeing the cyclist on the ground injured and bloody, it's understandable that passersby would assume the incident to be an accident involving a car, but that wasn't the case," said O'Dowd.
Following reports of a young bicyclist
struck by a vehicle injured near the corner of Grove and Bellevue last night, Montclair residents are petitioning Montclair Police Chief David Sabagh and the Montclair town council to aggressively enforce traffic laws in Montclair.
The petition, started by Elizabeth Ruebman, and posted on Change.org, already has comments from those who have signed, decrying dangerous conditions for pedestrians and bike riders.
Montclair Mayor Robert Jackson was aware of the accident, because he had been driving near the area when it happened. Jackson said the accident involved a young male on a bike who was attended to by Montclair Ambulance team members at the scene before being brought to the hospital. Jackson says the council is aware of the need to do more with regard to pedestrian and cyclist safety. "We are working on putting up more beacons and incorporating safety measures. We understand the issue and we understand the concern and we are trying to do more and will keep pressing on it."
Jackson mentioned the need for speed enforcement and spoke of the Drive with Care program as another effort in place.

As the title says, I'm spending next weekend in Boston with my mom, and am looking for restaurant recommendations. One night she wants to go to a North End Italian, so I booked a table for Mamma Maria. But I don't know where to go on the other night. My mother is a very, very picky eater - not the least bit adventurous, and prone to just zeroing in on whatever on the menu is closest to a plain roasted chicken. On the other hand, I like my food to be a little more creative. Can anyone recommend a restaurant that'll satisfy both of us? Additional considerations: because we're already set for Mamma Maria's, I'm not looking for anyplace Italian; and neither of us eat seafood. Also, we're staying in the Back Bay, but wouldn't mind taking a taxi to another part of the city if the food's worth it. Any help appreciated!
Mamma Maria Restaurant
3 North Sq, Boston, MA 02113
