Wild Orchid chef takes over Sam's kitchen
It's a new year. With the flip of a calendar comes a chance to renew, refresh and remodel.
In Annapolis, the new year offers opportunity for two local restaurateurs to help each other.
Andrew Parks, owner of Sam's on the Waterfront, has announced his new executive chef, Jim Wilder. Chef Wilder recently closed his Westgate Circle restaurant Wild Orchid after a difficult three-year tenure.
Timing is everything, so hopes Parks, who has struggled to consistently employ an executive chef in the eight years he has owned the waterfront restaurant built in 1986 by his grandfather, the original Sam.
Each man endeavors to bring the best of his farm-to-table vision in this new marriage of culinary talents. Each restaurant has — or has had — the green restaurant certification.
At Sam's, Parks takes the front-of-house role with Wilder running the kitchen.
In the past, Wilder has worked both ends of the operation, with 13 years at the helm of his highly regarded Eastport Wild Orchid his pinnacle, to the head-scratching move to the behemoth at the Severn Bank Building — a move that would be his undoing.
Few understood Wilder's decision to sell the warm and comfortable 40-seat Eastport café in 2010 and move to the 250-seat former Greystone Grill on the other side of town.
That decision "was not based on sound business models. I had to keep my mind occupied," Wilder said, after the untimely death of his and wife Karen's son, Andrew Wall, from brain cancer in 2009. "It was the bottom. And I deal with depression by keeping busy. Depression drove me."
Building a dream kitchen provided a needed distraction from grief. It also afforded access and opportunity to expand Wilder's Company's Coming catering business, along with a large floor plan that offered him ideal accessibility for his wheelchair.
The dream was not meant to be. The restaurant closed in July 2013.
Parks has his own challenges keeping Sam's profitable and relevant. Hidden within the gated Chesapeake Harbour Marina community, the restaurant is difficult to find. Warm weather brings boaters out and swells the population of Chesapeake Harbour, where many residents are summer only. Still, Parks estimates that 80 percent of his business comes from outside the community. Getting diners in the door is an ongoing pursuit. Parks hopes hiring a well-known chef will do the trick.
Chef Wilder brings his most popular dishes to the menu. Butternut squash soup with crab, scallops Napoleon and pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon join Sam's favorites: lobster mac 'n' cheese, rockfish and Kobe burgers (half-price on Tuesday).
The transition has been subtle thus far, though Parks is enthusiastic about a new winter menu and many collaborative surprises to come.
Grunge, hip-hop and Gen Y angst color this whimsical romance where mortals meet magic
The Annapolis Shakespeare Company has shaken up the Bard to magical effect with a 1990s' setting of A Midsummer Night's Dream that is da bomb! Grunge, hip hop and Gen Y angst color this whimsical story of romance, mischief and enchantment in Fairyland, where mortals meet magic and are none the wiser for it.
Guest director Kristin Clippard, formerly of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, has created a magical forest cloaked in fog and sparkling with frost under a pregnant moon. The walls are like birch bark strewn with carnations under a canopy of red, white and orange umbrellas backlit with twinkling lights. As the umbrella covers us in all types of weather, she explains, love can cover all our woes. And there is plenty of woe to go around.
It should be a happy time; Duke Theseus (Stephen Horst) is marrying Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons (Laurent Turchin). Guests have come from far and wide for the nuptials. There is Egeus (Nick Pinto) and his daughter Hermia (Amanda Forstrom), her friend Helena (Ashlyn Thompson) and Hermia's two suitors: her beloved Lysander (Joel DeCandio) and preppy nerd Demetrius (Ben Lauer), who spurned Helena to pursue Hermia — this at her father's behest.
Lysander and Hermia are emo soul mates destined for turbulence in the parallel universe of Fairyland. Queen Titania (Turchin) has turned frosty toward King Oberon (Horst). Thus the king dispatches his meddling assistant Puck (DePinto) to enchant Titania with a love-at-first-sight potion. Embarrassment is the point, as the queen is expected to fall in love with a creature of the forest. She does: Bottom (France Vince) is a mortal endowed by Puck with a donkey's head and tail. Watching this odd love unfold are the queen's attendants: First Fairy (Valeka Holt), Peaseblossom (Gray West), Mustardseed (Samantha Nelson), Cobweb (Nicole Mullins-Teasley) and Moth (Miranda Savage).
Meanwhile, the same potion causes both Lysander and Demetrius to pursue Helena, leaving Hermia in forlorn confusion.
Bottom is a member of an amateur theatrical troupe of tradesmen come to perform the tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe for the royal wedding. This childish play-within-a-play features Piper Quince (Holt), Francis Flute (West), Tina Snout (Nelson), Snug (Mullins-Teasley) and Robin Starvling (Savage). With West in drag as Thisbe, it makes a hilarious finale to madcap shenanigans in the forest.
This show is rife with potential for confusion both of Shakespeare's making and this production's double and triple casting. Yet it's easy to follow, swinging with ease from extremes of tenderness to slapstick. Diction and gestures, so important to a modern understanding of Shakespeare, are crisp and clear. It's energetic and creative with dancers of all shapes and ages doing cartwheels and back flips, and Puck literally climbing the walls.
Music figures large with '90s hits such as "Kiss Me" and the theme from Titanic alongside the traditional "Holly and the Ivy." Fairy costumes are mostly neon and shredded denim, a grunge look that is vivid, if not magical, with odd makeup that is likewise jarring. Is that the Mario Brothers I see among the tradesmen's denims and flannels? Whatever. It's a hoot.
There are no weak performers among this cast.
DePinto shines for his remarkable versatility not only acting but also singing and playing guitar in a delightful duet with Holt, a fine dancer and singer. Horst brings a welcome vulnerability to both his royal roles, and Turchin her trademark frostiness. Forstrom and DeCandio exude a passionate infatuation that contrasts well to Thompson and Lauer's more comic roles. Vince's donkey is a perfectly lovable ass. And Nelson as a brick wall that raps Shakespearean couplets milks a gallon of laughs from a pint of dialogue.
This Dream is two and a half hours of escapist frivolity that will win converts to Shakespeare. Alas, the senior set is likely to miss the cultural references that make this production unique.
Everybody gets into the spirit
Mayhem meets knee-slapping comedy when the Herdmans collide head-on with the Christmas story.
Barbara Robinson's Christmas alternative — it's no Christmas Carol — is a good choice for Twin Beach Players: Both have to do with a small town where everybody has a part to play in making Christmas.
The fictional small town's kids have grown weary of wearing bed sheets to play the same role and speak the same lines year after year in the annual church pageant. Boredom yields to horror when the Herdmans come to town.
The dirty half-dozen Herdman kids bully their way into the cast and hijack the pageant. With no idea what's going on — they don't even know the Christmas story — they make up a script as they go along.
As we watch, the pageant turns into a huge, hysterical mess.
Forty-six of the town of North Beach's real-life children, from preschoolers to teens, are inspired, whether as angels, shepherds or Herdmans — who've stolen the key parts of Mary, Joseph, Herod and the Wise Men.
In this community of theater, parents leave the audience to take the stage alongside their kids. Ten adults stay on-stage, enjoying their roles as avidly as the kids do.
The audience is enchanted, moved from tears to side-splitting laughter in no longer than it takes to blink.
The theater — normally a Boys and Girls Club gym — is decorated for the holidays. The young cast's singing of classic carols — including "O Little Town of Bethlehem," "Away in a Manger," "We Three Kings" and "Silent Night" — open our hearts. Recorded Christmas music continues during the short intermission.
Playing F & Sa 7pm, Su 3pm thru Dec. 15 at the North Beach Boys and Girls Club. $12 w/discounts: 410-286-1890; www.twinbeachplayers.com.
No need to put out the welcome mat
The mouse stood high in ancient Greece, where the god Apollo took the creature as one of his namesakes, Apollo Smintheus. White mice were kept under the altars in temples to that incarnation.
Most of us can better relate to the Indo-Aryan Sanskrit tradition wherein musuka means thief or robber.
Sanskrit may not be familiar to you, but the burglary antics of the common house mouse probably are, especially this time of year.
Freezing temperatures, like our recent dip into the low teens, send these furry rodents scurrying inside to the warmth of our homes and offices.
If you have mice, you're not alone. Each winter, mice and other rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes in the U.S. Mice visit between October and February, looking for food, water and shelter from the cold. Mice build their homes in our homes, near food sources, like our pantries and cupboards.
Prolific and voracious, they eat more than growing teenagers and breed faster than rabbits. They eat up to 20 times per day and breed year-round, starting at about two months old.
With a gestation of less than three weeks, a litter of eight to 14 pups and an average of five to 10 litters a year, a single female mouse will give birth to about 120 babies each year.
That's a lot of mice. Let two in, and many more will follow.
Like little Houdinis, mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. A small crack or gap on the exterior of your home is an open door — and invitation — for mice.
Prevent mice from gaining access into your home by sealing any openings on the exterior (such as where utility pipes enter) with a silicone caulk. You can also fill gaps and holes inside your home with steel wool.
Keeping cats as pets helps, too. Since I rescued my two kitties three years ago, I haven't seen a single mouse inside.
Mice are cute and cuddly to some folks who may even keep them as pets, but they can transmit a disease called salmonellosis, a bacterial food poisoning that occurs when food is contaminated with infected mice feces.
That's just the beginning. Mice can carry as many as 200 human pathogens.
No wonder Apollo Smintheus was a god of disease.
A princess movie for people sick of princess movies
Princess Elsa (Idina Menzel: Glee) was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a chill in her will. Creating ice and snow is a great power for a young girl, and she gleefully turns the palace into a winter wonderland for her little sister Anna (Kristen Bell: The Lifeguard). They skate in the grand ballroom, build snowmen by the suits of armor and frolic in snowdrifts under priceless paintings.
But a careless slip of hand has a painful consequence for Anna. Worried for their youngest daughter and terrified by their eldest, the king and queen isolate them from the world. The gates are closed, staff reduced to a skeleton crew and Elsa locked in her room. Anna roams empty halls alone.
Someone call child protective services for these poor kids.
Sailing on a diplomatic voyage, king, queen and ship are sunk by a storm. Promoted from frost demon to queen, Elsa is nervous while Anna is delighted that her sister's coronation will mean a party and a party means people.
The sisters prepare for their big day with different goals. Elsa hopes to conceal her frost-curse long enough to take the crown and seal up the palace. Anna is praying to find a husband at the ball, before the palace doors again close her in.
In a state of nerves, Elsa causes an icy surprise at the coronation ball. As she flees to the mountains, her distress sends the kingdom into a blustery winter. Can Anna find her sister and love in a thawed kingdom? Will Elsa ever learn to control her powers?
For years, Disney has been at the forefront of Princess-Culture, an insidious movement that's convinced young girls that finding a true love and a matching ball gown are the most important things in life. While princes and pretty dresses are both lovely in theory, the marketing team that promotes them is creating increasingly vapid entertainment to steal the minds of impressionable little girls.
Frozen is a great remedy for Princess Culture. Yes, there are princesses, and even a love story, but the focus is the sisters' relationship. One learns to embrace her power instead of fear it; the other learns that she can be the hero of her own story. It's a heartening message from the company that taught legions of women that one day their prince will come.
As the sisters, Menzel and Bell prove that they have a knack for voice work. Menzel's Tony-winning voice soars in the soundtrack, which features several great tracks.
Bell infuses her Anna with enough pluck to make her endearing even when she's making poor decisions. Anna isn't a fool, just an optimist, and she has no problem trying to fix her mistakes or right wrongs. Bell also has a delightful singing voice that complements Menzel's belt.
This cartoon about women has plenty of entertainment for both sexes of all ages, with hilarious moments of slapstick sure to enthrall even non-princesses. If you have a young one, get to the theater this weekend; if you don't — go anyway. Elsa's journey from fearful child to powerful woman is a great story for all ages.
The only time zone big enough for Season's Bounty in Chesapeake Country
Don't you love it when you finally find a use for some of the stuff you learned in school?
We liberal arts majors at St. Louis University, a Jesuit school, had to minor in philosophy, and most of those 18 hours of theoretic thinking buzzed right by me. Yet here I am, reveling in my recent illumination of a new way to understand time, that favorite subject of philosophers. For I've realized that I am a denizen of The Eternal Now.
Think of The Eternal Now as a time zone that works like a really big purse: You can put everything you want into it, and there's always room for more. The capacity of The Eternal Now expands endlessly, no matter what you're doing or how much more you add to your program —until you look at the clock.
Then panic ensues, for you may find your Now is finished before you ever got around to your original purpose. Avoid that sorry state simply by turning your back to clocks — or their backs to you.
The Eternal Now is a good zone to live in as we enter the busiest weeks of the year. For no other time zone — even vacation time — is capable of stretching far, long and wide enough to accommodate all you want to do these days.
On the busiest day of the busiest week, this Saturday, December 7, I'm cramming a dozen stops into the elastic expansiveness of my Eternal Now.
I promise to begin the day at the gym because we've got to skip the Jingle Bell Runs, both in Solomons and Annapolis.
From there it's my winter citrus pickup from the Lothian Ruritans, just a few miles north of my house at Lothian Middle School. Afterward, I'll have time to stop by the Bulldawg Holiday Bazaar at Southern High School and the London Towne Craft Show before I dash up to Annapolis for some holiday party preparation. Out of the salon, I'll rush to Eastport Gallery's Holiday Group Show and SoFo Holiday Festivities at the Village Green Shops at South Cherry Grove.
Even in The Eternal Now, keeping up with December 7's variety takes speed. So I'll have to forego all the greens crafts I'd love to spend hours doing at American Chestnut Land Trust, Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, Jug Bay and Willow Oak Flower and Herb Farm.
Next it's speeding — but within the legal limit — down to North Beach for the town's fabulous Christmas Parade. Alas, I'll be watching — and just the last half — rather than parading this year, which means missing half the fun. But even half is very good.
Then it's over to the Christmas Open House at Artworks@7th, where both art and refreshments — created by artist Julia Musengo — are high quality. Next begins my annual open house tour of Calvert antique shops at Nice & Fleazy and Chesapeake Antiques.
Heading south, I'll visit my animal and human friends at the Calvert Animal Welfare League Holiday Open House before dashing into the Calvert Historical Society Open House at Linden for a spot of history. Then it's into CalvART for a spell of shopping at the Small Works Holiday Show.
You work up an appetite living in The Eternal Now, so it's lucky for me Trinity United Methodist Church's 49th annual oyster and ham dinner lasts all afternoon.
Blissfully full, I'll have to head back north — no Lusby Christmas tree lighting for me this year, alas, and no tea at Historic London Town. I've got a big dinner date in D.C. at 6:30. Still, I've got time to drop by Medart Gallery's open house in Dunkirk to hear Bill Resnick while meeting artists Paul McGehee — A Virginia Bay lover who does wonderful paintings and drawings of familiar people and places — and Calvert County's Robert Fiacco, who'll be showing lots of new oils on canvas, including his specialty, naval aviation and lighthouses.
Friendship is right on my way home, so I'll get to poke my head into Friendship Antiques and Vintage Collectibles' Open House. Of course I'll dart across the street for a quick browse in one of my favorite neighborhood places, The Magnolia Shoppe.
Sunday, December 8 is almost as full, so it's a good thing The Eternal Now starts anew every morning, noon and night. Among other things, I'm looking forward on Sunday to making my first visit to Bayside History Museum's new home to see what curator Grace Mary Brady tells me is its "vastly expanded collection."
Then comes a whole wonderful new week of holiday opportunities. You'll fit it all in if you join me in The Eternal Now. Chart your timeless path long-range in Bay Weekly's Season's Bounty and a week at a time in 8 Days a Week.

Some days, everything's wrong but the fish
It was cold on the Bay, colder than we wanted to endure. But it had been a long time since either of us had caught a rockfish. So there we were in mid-morning in my 17-foot skiff off the mouth of the Severn in about 35 feet of water with temperatures barely above freezing.
At least the winds were mild, as were the seas. But the skies were stalled in a dark overcast. I could feel the fingers of cold, damp air trying to creep under my expedition-weight fleece unders. Shivering, I tightened my foul-weather coat.
As a bit of current is essential for the chumming expedition we had in mind, we had timed our arrival to coincide with the beginnings of a falling tide. Moving water would carry our chum bits out and establish a long, broad scent path for cruising stripers to follow right back to the tasty fresh menhaden baits at the end of our lines.
The boat swung gently at anchor. I was pleased that the first part of our plan was unfolding as intended. But when I finally looked up from preparing my tackle, I saw that instead of facing south, our stern was pointed toward the distant Bay Bridge. The flood tide was not starting to fall. It was still coming in.
We quickly baited up, casting out four lines as I dropped the chum bag over the stern to capitalize on the last few minutes of incoming current. We weren't so lucky. In minutes, our lines sagged as water movement stopped. Off our transom, we watched the chum dropping straight to the bottom.
It would be an hour or more before the outgoing current would make up. Until then, nothing would happen; rockfish are loath to feed in still water. The prospect of doing nothing but shivering was not inspiring.
Catching a Fluke or Three
We'd marked a few pods of fish in the area where we'd anchored, and I noticed in the distance some big boats grouped up in deeper waters.
"Maybe we should pull the anchor and do a little more reconnaissance while the tide is slack," I said. "It looks like those guys over there may have found something."
"Okay," my partner said, "but you'll have to wait till I get this fish in."
I turned to confirm his jest only to see his rod bent in a hard arc, the drag humming as line poured out.
"I can't believe you hung a fish in this mess," I said, looking for the net.
When we finally got the rockfish on board it was winter fat, shiny and big enough that there was no need to measure it.
"Nothing wrong with a keeper in the first five minutes on a slack tide," I said.
But I knew it was a fluke. That's when one of my outfits bent over in its holder and line went peeling off the reel.
That fish was even bigger than the first, about 26 inches and equally wintertime fat. Soon after, my friend hooked up another. It was a good looking keeper about the same size as his first fish, but we threw it back, deciding that the way things were looking we could afford to raise our standards. We agreed on nothing less than 24 inches.
"I can't believe we're catching these fish in dead water," I repeated. When I glanced at our electronic finder, the reason became clear. The screen was lit up. Crimson arcs and blobs steadily moved across the four-color LCD. We were sitting in the middle of a school.
Our stern had barely swung south with the ebb by the time we had managed the last of our four brawny keepers into the ice chest.
A fresh-cut Douglas fir is the safest tree you can buy
Believe me when I say that not all Christmas trees are created equal. I know because I was assigned to set fires under the five most popular Christmas species.
In 1995, I was asked by the Maryland Christmas Tree Association and the State Fire Marshall's office to research the most fire-resistant species. I tested white pine, Scots pine, blue spruce and both Douglas and Frazier firs. The State Fire Marshall set the rules. I rolled a single sheet of newspaper into a ball about 10 inches in diameter. I placed the ball against the lowest branches of the tree, then set it afire.
Fresh-cut trees of each species were delivered to me at Upakrik Farm and stored — some with, others without water — at 70 degrees with lights on for eight hours. Trees were held in storage for three and six weeks prior to testing.
We set the fires in the Fire/EMS Training Academy's burn building at Cheltenham, with several Christmas tree growers watching. Each variant of the experiment was replicated three times and videotaped for evaluation by fire marshals from three counties and from the state office.
White pines generated lots of smoke regardless of the amount of time in storage. They were immediately rejected by the fire marshals.
Frazier firs were also rejected. Stored without water, they burned readily after three weeks of storage. After six weeks, they exploded into fire.
Douglas fir was approved as the most fire-safe tree because even after six weeks of storage without water, it did not ignite. Scots pine and blue spruce were also approved.
We repeated the experiment in 1996 with exactly the same results.
As a Christmas tree grower, I attribute the Douglas fir's fire-safe performance to its low resin content. My knives and pruners remain clean even after days of shearing. This is not true with the other species tested.
As a result of this study, the State Fire Marshal established COMAR 12.03.04, allowing only Douglas fir, Scots pine and blue spruce in public buildings. Each tree must be accompanied with a tag identifying the farm where it was grown, date of harvest and species. Before the tree is moved indoors, two inches must be cut from the base. Tree stands must hold a minimum of two gallons of water. The tree must stay indoors no longer than four weeks.
To keep your house fire-safe this Christmas season, follow these recommendations.
The interloper visits Spica and Mercury
Mercury is putting on its best pre-dawn show of 2013, more than doubling in brightness this week, from +1 magnitude to –0.5 (each order of magnitude is exponential, so an increase from +1 to 0 is a doubling). Monday marks the innermost planet's greatest elongation — its farthest point away from the sun as seen from earth and its highest point above the horizon. Mercury rises a little before 6am and climbs nearly 15 degrees above the southeast horizon before the sun rises more than an hour later. Ten degrees above Mercury is blue-white Spica, but even this first-magnitude star pales compared to Mercury this week.
First discovered last September, Comet ISON is heading into the inner solar system for the first time, coming within 700,000 miles of the sun November 27. If the comet survives that close encounter, it could live up to the comet of the century billing. If not, the next two weeks are your best chance to spot this long-distance traveler.
With binoculars or a small telescope, look for ISON one degree to the west of Spica Sunday before dawn and less than one-half degree to the east of the star the next morning. By next Thursday and Friday, ISON will be within 10 degrees of Mercury — well within your binoculars' field of view. Perhaps by then it will be bright enough to see with the unaided eye.
Sunday marks the full moon, the Beaver Moon and the Frost Moon according to lore. The full moon floats just six degrees below the miniature dipper-shape of the Pleiades star cluster, while Monday night it is even closer to Aldebaran, the red eye of Taurus the bull.
The full moon's glow washes out all but the brightest meteors in this year's Leonid shower, which peaks between the 16th and 18th. Still, the Leonids are active through the month, so patience or luck will likely reward you with a few of these shooting stars.
Here's your recipe for making them into rich compost
Don't bag those leaves for the county to collect. Use them in making your own compost. It takes about a bushel of leaves to make a gallon of quality compost, which contains more nutrients and fiber than peat moss and is less acetic.
Yard debris compost is made by blending grass clippings with fall-harvested leaves. The compost is rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium and lots of important trace elements. Because the nitrogen from the leaves drains back into the stems of the branches from which they fell, yard debris compost contains less than one percent nitrogen, which is contributed mostly by the grass clipping.
Q I live in the St. Margaret's area near the Bay Bridge. In my neighborhood, many, if not most, of the old oak trees are dead or dying. These are original trees in an area that was never farmed; I'm sure many of them are well over 100 years old. It is so distressing since they are beautiful and I love them and because it costs $2,000 to $3,000 to have them cut down. Do you know why they are dying? Is there anything I can do to save them? I think they are red oaks, though my tree identification skills are poor.
Thanks so much for your help. I read your column every week and thoroughly enjoy it.
–Linda Williams, Annapolis
A There is no way that I can determine the cause of death without seeing the conditions in which they are growing. I have cherry bark oak trees in my yard that are over 150 years old. I keep them healthy by vertical mulching every four to five years. When I moved here 22 years ago, they were in a sever state of decline, but after being vertically mulched, they revived. I suggest that you contact Mark Emmel at 301-345-2981. Mark is a good arborist and is familiar with vertical mulching.
Ask Dr. Gouin your questions at email@example.com. All questions will appear in Bay Weekly. Please include your name and address.
Since grass clippings are not readily available in the fall, use this recipe to hasten the composting of leaves so that you will have compost ready for next spring:
1. Build a compost bin that is at least five feet in diameter using snow fencing, turkey wire, pallets or such. The larger the bin, the better. Place the bin where it will not accumulate water.
2. Fill a five-gallon pail with a shovel full of garden soil, one-half cup dish detergent and a cup of urea or ammonium nitrate fertilizer; top off with water. Stir thoroughly to create a soupy mud. The detergent helps wet the leaves, and the nitrogen-containing fertilizer replaces the grass clippings in providing the nitrogen microorganisms needed to build their bodies and digest the carbon in the leaves. The garden soil provides the necessary microorganisms, and the mud also helps wet the leaves.
3. Place 12 to 18 inches of leaves on the bottom of the bin. First, pass the lawnmower through the leaves to chop them up and hasten the composting process.
4. Use an empty coffee can or the like to wet the leaves with the muddy water. Before dipping into the muddy water, stir thoroughly to maintain a suspension.
5. With a garden hose misting nozzle, wet the leaves thoroughly, washing some of the muddy water down through the layer.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 until the bin is full.
7. Check the bin weekly. The composting process can be hastened by dumping your dirty dishwater over the surface of the compost pile. The detergent and grease will help wet the leaves.
If you need exercise to stay in shape, mix the compost pile by turning it inside-out. Turning the pile in late January or February provides additional aeration, chopping the leaves and eliminating dry pockets that can occur in the initial building.

SIA 'to inaugurate A380 service to India'
Published: 07/04/2014 - Filed under: News »
Singapore Airlines will next month inaugurate A380 superjumbo services to both Mumbai and Delhi, it is expected.
Unless Emirates pips SIA to the post, and so far the Gulf airline has shown no sign of doing so, the Singaporean flag carrier will launch A380 service on May 30, according to local media.
Why has it taken A380 operators so long? It's because the Indian aviation authorities have been reluctant to allow foreign carriers to launch superjumbo service as it would put the country's airlines (none of whom have ordered the A380) at a competitive disadvantage (see news, January 27).
One daily A380 flight will operate from Singapore to both Mumbai and Delhi and will replace the existing B777 service. The other daily flight on both routes will be operated by one of SIA's B777-200s which, of course, lacks the passenger appeal of the A380.
SIA is a prudent housekeeper and, as we saw with its Zurich route, it is using the larger A380 in place of two existing B777 services.
The A380 will be rostered for flights SQ423 and SQ424 on the Singapore to Mumbai stretch. For Singapore to Delhi, the A380 will be deployed on flights SQ403 and SQ406.
Quoted by business-standard.com, David Lau, SIA's manager for India, said: "SIA was the first airline to operate the A380. The Singapore Airlines A380 not only has immense public appeal but also showcases our commitment to offer the best inflight experience to our Indian travellers."
SIA's A380 come with suites in first class and fully-flat beds in business class.
Only two other Indian airports, Hyderabad and Bangalore, can handle the A380 at the present time. So far, no A380 airline has indicated interest in serving these cities with the superjumbo.
With services from both the above-mentioned cities plus others both SIA and subsidiary Silk Air are major players in the Indian market for travel to Singapore and beyond.

Finally. Now lets hope the Indian airports are ACTUALLY able to handle the extra demands of the A380. The jury is still out on the "improvements" at Mumbai and whether these are related to efficiency and passenger comfort (like travellators) or only window-dressing.

USS Kidd joins USS Pinckney in Search Efforts of Flight MH370
- Details
- Created on Monday, 10 March 2014 08:45
- Written by IVN
Gulf of Thailand - Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd (DDG 100) has joined USS Pinckney (DDG 91) in the search efforts of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, March 10.
Kidd brings the same Arleigh-Burke Class capabilities as Pinckney with its two MH-60R Seahawk helicopters which are designed for search and rescue, as well as anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, surveillance, communications relay, naval gunfire support and logistics support.
The helicopters can fly a maximum of 180 knots with a ceiling of 13,000 ft., have a maximum range of 245 nautical miles and the capability to conduct searches at night using its Forward Looking Infra-red (FLIR) camera. Kidd, like Pinckney, was conducting training and maritime security operations in international waters in the South China Sea before being sent to assist in the search efforts.
Both ships have crews of more than 300 Sailors each and are multi-mission ships designed to operate independently or with an associated strike group.
The US Navy still has one maritime patrol aircraft, a P-3C Orion from the Grey Knights of Patrol Squadron 46 (VP-46), on station flying from Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
The two destroyers departed Naval Base San Diego Jan. 7 on independent deployments to the Western Pacific Ocean.

(Reuters) – The families of three college students stabbed to death by a 22-year-old before he gunned down three more victims said the U.S. health and legal systems valued the rights of the mentally ill over those who become their victims.
Police said Elliot Rodger, the son of a film director, stabbed the students in his apartment on May 23, before shooting and killing three more victims in the town of Isla Vista near the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara. He then shot himself.
"The system is clearly broken. It should have protected our sons, who were so innocent and trusting," Henry Hong, the father of Cheng Yuan "James" Hong, one of the victims, told the Washington Post in a joint interview with other victims' parents published on Thursday.
The parents are also angered over a lack of information released to them by police, by what they characterize as several missed opportunities for authorities to intervene, and expressed incredulity that Rodger could have overpowered their sons by himself, the newspaper reported.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said in a statement it "owes it to the victim's families and to the public to not prematurely release information before we have all of the facts in this case."
Police officers had visited Rodger just weeks before the killing spree, following a concerned call from a county mental health worker, and asked him about disturbing videos he had posted online. However, they did not check the videos or look for weapons, concluding after a ten-minute meeting he was not an immediate threat to himself or others.
Rodger later wrote a lengthy manifesto that he sent to his parents, therapist and several others, minutes before launching his shooting spree. In it he said that he was afraid the police would disrupt his plot during that encounter.
Rodger was seen by a variety of healthcare professionals, according to the county sheriff.
"They knew he had problems. Why couldn't they do more?" said Kelly Wang, the mother of George Chen, according to the Post. The third victim was David Wang.

Do you remember the life lessons we learned as kids? Sayings like, "Treat others the way you want to be treated," and, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch," were taught to us at a young age to guide us, help us make better decisions, and remind us to be nice to one another.

In regard to the two reports from "Gavalt" and "A friend on" ...Not true at all. I would have to think they are just on this site to cause issues. By saying what they did it's not possible they lived in the building. I lived there and yes as mentioned in other reports there was one incident of bed bugs and everyone was notified and every unit was inspected the next day after being reported. Every proper step was taken to deal with the situation. Management dealt with this in a very professional
and timely manner.

It is too bad that this site is used by angry ill-intentioned people. The Gevalt report is entirely untrue. I have lived in this building for many years. We had one incident of bed bugs in one suite. The problem was immediately broadcasted to every tenant and management had the entire building fully inspected the day after the report was made by the tenant who had the unfortunate incident. Management was professional and understanding and the problem was eradicated. We have not had a probl
em since. I consider La Carina my home. I am proud of my home and enjoy living here. I take a personal affront to people picking on where I live. The building is also home to the Property Manager and the Building Manager. Do you really think they would leave the problem be and let a tenant fend for themselves when they also live here and run the risk of living with bed bugs?
Gevalt on 08/03/2010
I lived here for a few years, and I was twice infested with bed bugs. The manager tried to blame it on my personal cleanliness, which was insulting and irrelevant. I suspected a bug-migration from one of the other 3 suites on the floor, but the manager refused to ask or warn anyone. I had to spend 3 weeks and several hundred dollars fighting my bug-war, alone, with no regard from La Carina. I moved away soon after.
Anonymous on 02/13/2010
I live in the building also and there are no bed bugs. Every tenant received a notice when an incident happened and we were kept informed of all efforts to eradicate the problem. They inspected each and every appartment. The problem is gone and management is fantastic and very responsible.
Anonymous on 07/14/2009
There was an early detection of bedbugs at this building but management informed all tenants immediately and called for an entire building inspection. The problem has been eradicated due to the concern of management. I live here and it's a clean well managed building.
A friend on 06/27/2009
A friend lives in this building and it is totally infested. Has been sprayed numerouts times. Was told by managers not to tell anyone about the bedbugs.
No nearby bug reports

Saif is a brilliant actor, undoubtedly. He is one of my favorites and I enjoy watching him on screen. Both of us agree we have great chemistry onscreen that stems from our off screen rapport. We trust each other as actors. While shooting we never tried to outdo each other. The other day we were watching the preview of our film and, at the end, we both agreed that we look so hot together. — Rani MukherjeeRani is a fantastic actor. Aditya Chopra, the producer, always says that we work well together because she tends to sort of ground me and I make her a little more Westernised. I think we do share an interesting chemistry on screen. I have a lot of respect for her. Out of most people that I have met in the industry she is very real, very down to earth. — Saif Ali Khan

And so she arrived. The girl next door. The item girl. The style diva. The role model. The actress who can stand on her own two feet. She plays her part with utmost perfection. She's sometimes vanilla with the right dash of spice. Sometimes she's all spice with a tinge of tart. Her looks could kill but she's the one who adds soul to Hindi cinema's machismo.

The Ukrainian constitution requires that secession obtain the permission of the central government. You know. Kind of like ours did in 1861. And "securing the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" in 2014 requires the upholding of international law- which forbids countries from invading and conquering other countries. And the United States not only subscribes to that law, and always has, but based its very appeal to the world for recognition of our existence to "the decent opinion of mankind."

But there are passages in the Old Testament which also are problematic when taken in isolation from the rest of the Bible, and for the same reason. You're talking about one specific passage from the Koran which was written to deal with a specific situation. It's true that this passage is taken out of context and abused by some Muslims, but that does not justify your characterization of the Koran. Also, "fundamentalist-" a perfectly honorable word kidnapped by the secularist Left to mean "excessively and unreasonably conservative-" is a term that can be (mis)used to describe members of any religion. It is certainly not the case that all Muslims would be accurately described by that word even in its popular meaning. In its technical meaning, of course, no Muslim believes in the substitutionary atonement of Christ, His deity, or any of a number of the other "Fundamentals" which gave the original movement its name.Robert E.

Unfortunately, the Koran is the only religious book in the world that justifies killing people who "threaten" their faith--however anyone feels like loosely interpreting that, it's a ticket redeemable in the eyes of society for murder. Lets be honest, the fact is the majority of the Muslim world sees American wars in the Middle East as attacking Islam itself. Neither the Boston Marathon bomber's parents, John Walker Lindh, nor the Fort Hood Murderer are isolated cases; they were the ones discovered. Christian apologists are just putting their heads on the chopping block of White Guilt, self-loathing and "sorry about the Crusades" revisionism, and trying to drum up domestic support of their own offices by pledging support to yet another "suddenly-not-so minority". Muslims in the East have ALWAYS hated the West and Christianity (they tried for 800 years to conquer and subvert Jerusalem and Christian Europe and forced religious pledges of loyalty, long before the "evil" Crusades were even launched--as we know Christians in Europe suffered Islamic "holy wars" for almost 400 years before sending Crusaders to protect Jerusalem, the birthplace of Christ which had no importance to the Muslim faith). Recent American incursions on "Muslim" soil haven't exactly endeared us to them. Muslims are Fundamentalist, and value religious ties over political ones and routinely send eager warriors across country borders and oceans (and from the USA) to "defend their faith" by murdering others, all justifiably and unabashedly in the hearts of their own mothers. All the while their women physically conceal themselves not only to placate their jealous husbands but to ensure their own social anonymity, attracting a perfectly justified focus of suspicion in open, free societies like ours that they enjoy a foreign livelihood from, but do not truly belong to. This is not racist profiling, or religious persecution, or hate; this is "we know what you are, and that you'd rather see us dead." This is the Boston Marathon bombers' parents, and they are not an isolated case in any stretch of a hopeful imagination. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089029.post-31195147416504402842013-08-12T16:33:11.400-05:002013-08-12T16:33:11.400-05:00Your generalization is, of course, absurd, like mo...Your generalization is, of course, absurd, like most generalizations- and like most arguments for libertarianism.

I think it's rather clear that he played for your team, not for ours:

"The heaviest blow which ever struck humanity was Christianity; Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew."
- Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens, trans., (Oxford, 1953), Hitler's Table-Talk, p. 7

The law of selection justifies this incessant struggle, by allowing the survival of the fittest. Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure."
- Norman Cameron and R.H. Stevens, trans., (Oxford, 1953), Hitler's Table-Talk, p. 51

"The Ten Commandments have lost their validity. Conscience is a Jewish invention, it is a blemish like circumcision."
- Rauschning, Hitler Speaks, p. 220

And BTW, there was never such thing as a "Christian Social Party." There were indeed Christian political parties, but they were as ideologically hostile to Hitler as possible, and it strains credulity to think they could have influenced him at all. The anti-Semitism of the day was pretty much the province of the far Right, not the Christian Center.

While not strictly a Hitler quote, this, too, is interesting:

We are the joyous Hitler youth,
 We do not need any Christian virtue
 Our leader is our savior
 The Pope and Rabbi shall be gone
 We want to be pagans once again."

- Song sung by Hitler youth

And there are many, many more. I'd say, "Nice try, Bill." But it really wasn't. Like I said, read more history and drink less of the athiest Kool-Aid.

Hitler was an athiest. Or rather, he was his own god.Robert E. Watershttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089029.post-82484209242113478302013-06-03T19:22:23.426-05:002013-06-03T19:22:23.426-05:00My apologies, Bill.

It seems that I pointed out the historically obvious fact that atheists have a worse record by several orders of magnitude than Christians do in the persecution department in my comment, not in the post itself. Still, a suggestion for the future: you're less apt to embarass youself quite as badly if you take the time to be sure of what you're trying to refute before you demonstrate your intellectual dishonesty.

Oh. And one more comment: wouldn't Hitler's alleged Christianity come as a surprise to Bonhoeffer and Niemuller St. Maximillian Kolb and all the other Christians he sent to the concentration camps and the gas chambers and the gallows and the wall?

I wonder how many people he had murdered for being atheists.

You could count them on the fingers of one elbow.Robert E.

That Hitler used an alleged affinity with Christianity- including his promotion of "positive Christianity" as a stalking horse for its negation- as a propagada tool early in his career before beginning his active persecution of the Christian Church is as much a historical given as his hostility to religion in all its forms- except possibly neo-paganism. Rather than rehearsing the multitude of quotes from Hitler mocking and condemning Christianity and proclaiming his intention to destoy it, I'll simply suggest that you do something you obviously haven't done yet: read some reputable historians on the subject. I suggest Conway's The Nazi Persecution of the Churches as a starting point in attempting to remedy your global ignorance on the matter.

Using ad hominems as a substitute for arguments is characteristic of extremist positions espoused by those who cannot defend them with facts and logic. Anyone who has done any actual reading on the matter, or has the vaguest acquaintence with the history of the Hitler era, would recognize your claim as being on a par with the notion that the Holocaust never happened or that 9/11 was an inside job. In fact, holocaust deniers very often cite the same quotes as you do in an effort to make the same bizarre point.

Yes, the Spanish Inquisition and other episodes of nominal Christians persecuting others did occur and cannot be denied. But as the post itself points out (you seem not to have read it very carefully), add all of them together and they are a drop in the bucket compared with the blood spilled by atheists like Mao and Stalin and Pol Pot.

Since Dr. Dawkins based his claim of being an agnostic on the fact that it is impossible for anyone to know for certain that there is not a God, I would lose considerable intellectual respect for him if your statement about his now defining himself as an atheist turns out to be true. However, as to my education, I'll gladly match my degrees against your.

Or more to the point, I'll match the facts as readily accessible to anyone with an open mind as Hitler's hostility to religion is against your naive acceptance of what history (and his actual policies)has deomonstrated to be his hypocritical lies and propaganda. The thing speaks for itself.

I don't think you're uneducated. I just think you're massively dishonest intellectually. And I think what you have to say about me is self-evidently an example of what Sigmund Freud called "projection."

Dear Mr. Waters
I see you present your ideas with assertive confidence. Good for you. You seem so proud to be para-educated. Too bad you are not actually educated. Thus, you will be unable to see that your vociferous para-education is in all actuality, no education at all; leaving totally ignorant to valid knowledge as well as too brainwashed and arrogant to see how inculcated and ignorant you actually are.
Also, It was many years ago that Dr. Dawkins said he was an agnostic. Richard now defines himself as an atheist from a religious perspective.

Mum gives back to community
Relevant offers
Walking into the Salvation Army and asking for help might seem daunting and humiliating.
But Vianne O'Byrne would never make you feel ashamed.
The warm, welcoming and comforting lady has been there.
Four years ago she was on the front page of the Eastern Courier receiving a Christmas food parcel for her family.
Now she is giving something back as communities co-ordinator at the Howick Salvation Army.
The Eastern Courier and Salvation Army Christmas appeal is calling for donations to help make the festive season special for struggling families.
Ms O'Byrne says the Salvation Army helped her through the process of being a solo mum to having the confidence to reach her potential.
"With the help of government organisations and the Salvation Army I'm at a place where I can work and support my children.
"I come from a very dysfunctional family but I've seen how other people live. I've learnt how to do things differently by watching other people."
Ms O'Byrne was in an unhappy relationship and decided it was better to be alone.
"The boys' dad has been in and out of our lives since originally leaving our family when my youngest son was four months old."
People who come into the Salvation Army aren't there by choice but by their situation, she says.
"I didn't choose to be by myself with my four boys. I didn't expect when I married that it would be like this," she says.
Ms O'Byrne, who suffered from depression, clings to hope.
"It's like a hole, you don't have to be in the black hole forever though."
She says her own experiences enable her to empathise with people and encourage them that this is only a short chapter in their life.
"I have people say to me: 'you know what I'm talking about eh?' because I've been there.
"I can give them hope and let them know I'm living differently now so they can too.
"We're not designed to walk this journey alone."
To register for help this Christmas call into the Salvation Army, 39 Wellington St, Howick, from Wednesday to Friday between 9am and 4pm or phone 535 0847.

I've been getting pizzas at Mary's for over 40 years. Mary's has always made the best pizza you can find.
Best pizza in the area. Be prepared for a VERY heavy pizza, but that is it's beauty. There are a ton of topping, especially cheese. SOOO tasty. WIll return again and again.
Had large "The Everything" pizza while passing through lisbon. Holy moly that was one of the best pizzas ive had in recent memory. Dough is crispy and delicious. Super good when cold. Customer service was great and chatty. Thanks for the tip fellow posters.
Mary's Pizza is the best pizza around. It's original and delicious and once you go you will definitely be back for more!
Mary's pizza is the most amazing pizza in columbiana county...the portions you get are amazing.. The flavor is exceptional....Good job Mary's Pizza
Their pizzas are beautiful deep-dish pizzas with toppings laid on thick! I am not a fan of the meat sauce that comes on the pizza, it is a little too sweet for me. But, I absolutely love their whole tomato sauce! The Italian Wedding Soup is divine, pepperoni rolls are huge and their steak or chicken salads are always fresh...
This is the absolute best pizza we've ever had if you like thick pizza. We have to drive 30min one way so we only get it on special nights. The sauce is a more sweet sauce and there is tons of cheese. You can get it cooked. frozen or bake it at home with a baggie of cheese to put...
The pepperoni rolls are great and they are BIG. Salads and Pizzas are wonderfull too. You must take a visit to Lisbon and visit Mary's Pizza shop, you won't regret it.
Grew up eat this best pizza ever! Love the homemade thick crust and the sauce is to die for! The pepperoni rolls are great too. The best of homemade everything. The garlic wings are good too!
I like it a lot. It is a meal in it self. The pizza is so thick with sauce and cheese! Not in eat in kind of place, but great pizza. Wins many awards locally and always good to support local business.

Plot Summary: Based on Jamie McGuire's best selling novel "Beautiful Disaster." The book is officially described as follows:
"The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn't drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby's resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match."

In Performance: MY MOTHER HAS 4 NOSES' Jonatha Brooke Sings 'Time'
y Mother Has 4 Noses' Jonatha Brooke is featured in this week's New York Times 'In Performance' video. The singer-songwrite stars in the one-woman musical play directed by Jeremy B. Cohen. In the video, Brooke performs the number "Time," about being unprepared for her mother's death. Check it out here!
In My Mother Has 4 Noses, Jonatha Brooke tells of her experiences caring for her mother during the final two years of her life. Quite the character, Jonatha's mother was a published poet, a clown, and a Christian Scientist. She also had dementia . . . as well as 4 noses. Jonatha began chronicling her experiences, "the daily theatre" of loving and caring for a loved one, and her writings at first became a popular blog, then grew into a collection of 11 new songs (now an acclaimed album, released on February 18, 2014).
After successful readings in New York, LA, Philly, and Chicago, the staged adaptation of My Mother Has 4 Noses debuted at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT in June 2013. A four-performance run at the Playwright's Centre in Minneapolis followed that summer, as did sold-out shows at Philadelphia Fringe Festival in September, and then the Guthrie Theater's Dowling Studio in Minneapolis in December.
The New York premiere of My Mother Has 4 Noses began previews Off-Broadway on February 14th and opened on Thursday, February 20, 2014. The limited engagement will play through Sunday, May 4th at The Duke on 42nd Street, "a New 42nd Street project" (located at 229 W 42nd Street, between 7th & 8th Avenues).
My Mother Has 4 Noses has scenic design by Caite Hevner Kemp, lighting design by ML Geiger, and sound design by Paul Mitchell. Ben Butler is the Musical Director. Anne Lowrie is the Production Stage Manager.
My Mother Has 4 Noses will play a limited engagement through Sunday, May 4th, 2014. The performance schedule is Tuesday at 7:30pm, Wednesday at 7:30pm, Thursday 8pm, Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2 and 8 pm, and Sunday at 2pm.

For Christians, the number 7 represents perfection, and while even the most ardent admirer of Pope Benedict XVI (such as myself) would not call his pontificate perfect, seven years has certainly been long enough to prove the naysayers wrong. Despite the fact that the Holy Father was 78 when he was elected, his reign has not been, as many predicted, a "transitional" pontificate. Plenty of Popes of the Catholic Church have not reached the seven-year mark, including eight of the previous popes Benedict.
Of course, longevity, in and of itself, means nothing. It's what Pope Benedict has accomplished over the last seven years that is most important: three encyclicals; over a thousand homilies and addresses; three major books; over 20 trips abroad; the restoration of the Traditional Latin Mass as one of the two forms of the Roman Rite; the revised English translation of the Novus Ordo; the establishment of procedures to bring Anglicans back into the Catholic Church; overtures to the Orthodox Churches; the lifting of the excommunications on the bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X and the patient pursuit of full unity between the SSPX and Rome.
And these are only the most obvious accomplishments. There are others, such as Benedict's clarification of certain questions of ecclesiology, that I think future Church historians will regard as among the most important developments of his pontificate, even though most Catholics today are unaware of them.
Here in America, the Holy Father has already put his mark on the Church, not simply through his 2008 apostolic visit to the United States, but in his episcopal appointments, which (in my opinion) have been more solidly orthodox than those of Pope John Paul II. Still, there is much work to be done, including over 250 episcopal appointments worldwide that need to be made, and which will inevitably shape the Catholic Church for decades to come.
On his 85th birthday, Pope Benedict delivered a homily that some have seen as an acknowledgment that his time is running short. They have pointed in particular to these words:
I am in the final stage of my life journey and I do not know what awaits me. However, I do know that the light of God exists, that He rose again, that His light is stronger than all darkness, that the goodness of God is stronger than all the evil in this world. This helps me to continue with confidence. This helps us to continue, and I would like to thank everyone who, through their faith, continually makes me aware of God's "yes."
While those words are certainly an acknowledgment of the Holy Father's mortality, I do not see them as an indication that Pope Benedict sees his end coming soon. Indeed, when I contrast them with his fervent request of the faithful at the time of his election—"Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves"—they seem rather optimistic, as do his words of thanks to all the faithful who have shown their support for the Holy Father over his pontificate:
I would like to express my gratitude for the good wishes you have been sending me for the seventh anniversary of my election. I ask you to support me always with your prayers so that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, I may continue my service to Christ and the Church.
With gratitude for his seven years as the shepherd of our souls and the 264th successor of Peter, let us pray that God may grant Pope Benedict XVI many more years of peace, health, and happiness, as he faithfully preaches the Word of His Truth!

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) – A non-profit organization, has opened up in downtown which has local musicians excited and spending a lot of time making music. It's called Tipitina's and it was founded in New Orleans. Nolan Crane spoke with local artists who say this addition to Monroe is changing their lives.
When it comes to making music Jimmie Bryant can do it all.
"I am a classically trained violist and violinist. I've been playing for about 22 years," said Bryant.
He has put down the string instruments and picked up the sticks, mastering the drums.
"About ten years ago I decided I wanted to break away from the classical realm and start to play rock and roll as it were," said Bryant.
He formed a band and thanks to Tipitina's expanding from New Orleans to Monroe with this new building his band can follow their dreams and produce a demo-reel. It cost $10 ten a month and Tipitina's even provides the instruments.
"A lot of times musicians don't have money so they can't afford a laptop of their own. Myself being one of those people," said Mitch Laing.
It doesn't matter if you like Rock and Roll, R and B or rap. All of the artist cutting their tracks have the same goal.
"I want to be able to make a living and support myself doing the only thing I've ever loved doing," said Laing.
The music scene might be competitive but inside these doors Terrance Nelson says everyone is looking out for each other.
"It's not dog eat dog, everyone is here for everybody, there isn't anybody better than anybody. Everyone is just here doing their thing, it's all love," said Nelson.
If you have music in your mind and soul like Jimmie Bryant he recommends you become a member of Tipitina's.
Tipitina's is located at 502 North 2nd Street in Monroe. The building is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 6 pm.

Hillsborough families remembered 24 years on
A memorial service will be held at Anfield today on the 24th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
A minute's silence will be held at 3.06 pm, the exact time the game was stopped to remember the 96 fans who lost their lives.
Liverpool's manager Brendan Rodgers and his players will join the families, survivors and thousands of supporters at the annual service.
Memorials unveiled
Public thanked for support
A seven-foot bronze monument was unveiled in the centre carrying the names of the 96 people who died at Hillsborough.
The bronze sculpture, created by local artist Tom Murphy, was dedicated to the victims at a public ceremony, watched by hundreds of people, on Old Haymarket.
Alongside the names of the victims, it features the words "Hillsborough Disaster - we will remember them".
Sheila Coleman, chair of the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, campaigned for a memorial in the heart of the city, alongside the 'eternal flame' memorial at Liverpool FC's home in Anfield.
She thanked the public effort to raise funds for the monument, urging the support to continue.
David Charters composed a poem inscribed on the monument.
– David Charters
"In life, few words carry more sorrow than, 'they died before they were old.' The sense of loss is always raw.
"What's lost is not the past, but the future."
Disaster memorial unveiled
Hundreds gather for Hillsborough ceremony
A memorial ceremony has been held on the eve of the 24th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said the event was extra special as it was the first since the families won justice in their campaign to clear blame for the disaster from the dead.
Hundreds gathered at Liverpool town hall where a permanent memorial was established by an antique clock with the time frozen at 3.06pm - the exact time that the game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was stopped as officials realised fans were being crushed on the terraces in Sheffield.
– Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson
"Twenty-four years, the passage of time has still not dulled the pain and suffering for those of you gathered here today."
The Mayor said the 96 were "robbed of their dignity by the people in authority" who indulged in "lies and deceit" rather than admit their mistakes.
But the families who fought the official version of events "exemplified" the fighting spirit of the city of Liverpool, to never give up.
Hillsborough memorials to be unveiled today
A memorial monument and a clock will be unveiled in special ceremonies in Liverpool on Sunday to mark the 24th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.
The seven-foot bronze structure features the names of the 96 Liverpool supporters who died.
Mayor Joe Anderson will lead a private ceremony for the Hillsborough families at the Town Hall for the dedication of the clock.
The hands will be frozen at 3.06pm, the time that the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989 was stopped.
The commemorations will then proceed to Old Haymarket, where the memorial monument will be officially dedicated at a public ceremony at 2pm.
Hillsborough artwork marks 24th anniversary
The Museum of Liverpool will be marking this year's Hillsborough anniversary with a display of art commemorating the tragedy.
Works by artists Alan Wynne and Leigh graffiti artist Gecko will displayed in the museum as a tribute and memorial to the 96 football fans who lost their lives at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forrest on 15 April 1989.
