Crimea parliament decides to join Russia
Thursday, March 06, 2014
ANKARA – The Crimean Parliament has approved a motion to join Russia, amid a diplomatic push by the international community to solve the crisis in Ukraine.
Crimean MPs passed a motion on Thursday that asks Russia to consider Crimea`s decision to join and foresees a referendum in 10 days` time.
Meanwhile, the European Union`s leaders will assemble Thursday in Brussels to discuss the crisis and how they should respond.
Some leaders are in favor of tough sanctions against Russia, whose involvement in Crimea is regarded as breach of Ukraine's sovereignty as of international law, while Germany and others adopt a softer tone.
A press conference is scheduled to be held after the meeting at around 15:00 CET.
Tension remains high in Crimea, where armed troops - believed to be Russian - have reportedly taken control of all the institutions, important roads and airports, in a move that the West considers a violation of international law.

text: We bought four of these to add two small shelves to a wall in our kitchen remodel to "match" the very expensive corbels that came with the custom range hood. To purchase four of those would have been much too costly. These almost match the style of the others perfectly and now that they are painted, no one will be able to know the difference! Really nice product. Fast delivery, too. :)

www.canfilters.com Can-Filters in-line fan display test (script:) Welcome to the Hydroponic In-Line Fan Test. Today we will compare four brands of in-line fans. The test will show which 8 inch fan is the strongest. To start the test we turn the switch on... Wow right away the Max 8 lifts the ball to the top. After a second or two the Can Fan also lifts the ball to the top. Let's start with the 8 inch Max Fan, it uses a 170 Watt motor and the box states 675 CFM. You'll notice the ball all the way to the top of the tube. Next up is the Active Air 8 inch fan, using 200 Watts of power and claiming 720 CFM. Hmm the ball is not lifting at all. Let's move on to the Valu Line 8 inch fan, it uses a 228 Watt motor and claims 745 CFM. Again the ball does not lift. We move on to the the Can-Fan high output 8 inch. The Can Fan uses 255 Watts and has a CFM rating of 722. The ball is also at the top of the tube. Obviously not all CFMs listed on the box are true. Let's shut off the display and see if we get the same results if we switch fan locations. Let's start them up. Wow again the Max Fam dominates followed by the Can Fan. The Max-Fan and Can-Fan have true, certified ratings. Don't trust CFMs on the box, as you can see some companies inflate the CFM ratings on the box. Don't get short changed, use a certified CFM, made in Germany, Max-Fan or Can-Fan. Thank you for your consideration while buying an in-line fan, Stay tuned for more fan comparison test. Available now is the Can-Lite ...

French Toast with creamy filling
I went with my friend to this place called Rice in Manhattan for breakfast, and we ordered a really good french toast dish. Their french toast isn't like the regular french toast - it's much thicker, and when I bite into it there's a soft creamy filling. I have no clue what the filling is - maybe cream cheese/banana cream/some other slightly sweet soft warm stuff.
Anyways, does anyone know how to do french toast like that? I'd really like to try to make that.
Make a vanilla pastry cream. Chill it. Use a sharp knive to make a pocket on one the side of bread slice and pipe it in. Gently pat it so it is somewhat flat. Day old bread works the best.
For the batter: whisk eggs with a pinch of salt, a little sugar, milk or cream, large pinch of optional cinnamon or nutmeg. Soak the filled slices of bread in the mixture just long enough to absorb some of the liquid. Don't let it become too soggy, otherwise, the bread will fall apart.
Saute both sides in a little flavorless oil or butter.
I make this whenever I am home on a weekend(I'm usually working).
If I don't have any brioche loaves in the freezer I'll buy that texas toast loaf bread & make french toast with that. That thick cut is what I like. I'll make the basic french toast and then let it cool a bit. I'll cut through the middle side of the bread with a paring knife & then with a piping bag filled with sweetened mascarpone cheese I'll squeeze it in the middle.
I make this caramel mascarpone that is killer with some banana french toast and some sauteed bananas & a dusting of powdered sugar. Or nix the bananas & just top it with some sauteed apples.
If you live somewhere with a lot of Asian bakeries, ask if any of them have whole loaves of bread. Then you can cut slices as thick as you want. Some Asian bakeries in LA even have loaves cut in thicker slices because I guess some customers just like it like that.
The toast at these places usually uses a lot more eggs and butter than regular white toast, making it more like challah and better for French toast.
I have stuffed mine with frangipane flavored with a little rum- oh my, so good with sauteed bananas.
Easy way to do this is just with plain cream cheese. Make sure you use syrup on top. You can also add some fresh strawberries. For something extravagent (don't tell your Doc) try panckaes with sour cream, syrup and strawberries on top. Haven't had it for years but can still taste it.
re: zorgclyde
When I make caramel mascarpone I usually have some homemade caramel sauce that I use. I whip the mascarpone with a little cream & then add the caramel sauce to taste.
re: zorgclyde
I have made my own - I love the almond cream from the Pastries from The La Brea Bakery cookbook, but I have also stuffed the toast using almond paste from the can and a blob of raspberry jam - good!
Whip the mascarpone with half and half and a tablespoon of maple syrup and spoon into bread pocket and pan fry as usual. Then pour warmed raspberry jam over it. Yummy!
Many supermarkets sell loaves of "Texas Toast" bread, a thick cut white style bread. It doesn't have much flavor or texture but works well for stuffed French toast. If you don't mind a crust, you can buy a loaf of French or Italian style bread (not sour dough unless you like that taste) and slice it to the thickness that you want. A French batard cut at a slight diagonal works well.
cook two slices of french toast (i like whole wheat, but a challah or brioche would be good as well). spread some ganache, or sprinkle some chopped bittersweet chocolate on one slice. top with the second. served with drained vanilla yogurt, mascarpone, creme fraiche and some fruit (i'm partial to strawberries).
re: Sweet Pea
love the chocolate and hazelnut combo, but find nutella too sweet.
Here is a link to a recipe that I make that you may like:
One of the best stuffed French Toasts I've had recently, was at La Duni in Dallas, TX. There's was a thick brioche, stuffed with brie (it WORKS) and fired with some bananas, pecans, and maple syrup. Here's a recipe that's closest to it.
Best french toast I have ever had was from this little eatery in Largo, FL - Skinny Rooster. Anyhow, it was two pieces of french toast w/ brie melted in between and topped off with a pinot noir reduction syrup & home made vanilla whip cream. It was incredible.
I use barely sweetened ricotta as a filling, piping it into the slit in challah bread as suggested above. This week, we're topping these with juicy *sweet* strawberries (and butter, of course). This is a lovely pairing -- the sweet burst of the strawberries with the sweet cream filling. I like how delicate the ricotta tastes rather than the cream cheese, which is a little too dense for me.

There's nothing quite so surprising as something utterly unremarkable. And so it is with the Kawasaki KLR650 – it's comfortable, grunty, quiet and reliable. Forget your fancy-pants BMW R1200GS' - providing you can live with adjusting and lubing a chain the Kawasaki KLR650 is at least as good at overlanding and a mere fraction of the price.

CCM'S 604 came in a wide variety of styles; from supermoto to green laner to roadster. But mechanically each one was essentially the same hardy Rotax motor and quality suspension propelling an oil-in-the-frame chassis.

Register the Domain Name in All Three Main Top-Level Domains
Registering the domain name in all three main top-level domains (and any other top-level domains which may provide value) which all direct Internet users to the same website is a relatively inexpensive way to ensure that a variation of the domain name is not used to re-direct customers to another company's website.
Register Common Misspellings of the Domain Name
Registering common misspellings of the domain name will help reduce the risk that an Internet user will misspell the domain name and be directed to another business's website.
Obtain a Federal Trademark Registration for the Domain Name
If a domain name acts to identify the source of products or services (and not merely as an indication of the address of a particular website), it may be possible to register the domain name as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Though federal law protects both registered and unregistered trademarks, the owner of a properly registered mark is afforded additional benefits not available to owners of unregistered marks.

I found it really excellent
easy to use, and most important has been the technical assistance
from developers
In my opinion, the extension is highly recommended
Now wait to version 0.7
The UI is usable but very spartan.
Installing could be easier. Now you have to extract the component and the module from the zip and install them separately. It could be done in one step.
The programming is very poor. There is a ton of uninitialized variables and even some bad references.
But since this is only 0.4 yet, it could be better later.

1/1 Photo of Korean Scallion Pancakes -- Pa Jun
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
40 mins
20 mins
Korea is not officially part of the Silk Road, but East-West trade extended there, and as a result, Korea's cuisine influenced and was influenced by the travelers on the Silk Road. Pa Jun is a Korean pancake that can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish and is commonly found in Korean street markets. It's a crispy scallion pancake that is chewy and moist on the inside, with fillings of carrots, mung beans and seafood. Today you can find it made in many different variations in most Korean restaurants, where it is served as a starter with a dipping sauce. Though Pa Jun is typically made with a pancake like batter, my Pa Jun is gluten free, made with rice flour. It's speckled with zucchini and carrots and served with a ginger-soy dipping sauce--all together, a sure recipe for no leftovers. These pancakes can be eaten alone without the dipping sauce, just make sure to add some salt to taste to the batter.

Wow, and 8 bit Vietnam War video game
Wow, this rocks so much ass. It's an old 8 bit Nintendo Vietnam War (Platoon) game. It's kind of like The Goonies 2 but with less platforms, and more dudes with guns jumping out of the trees at you. Your guy looks like he's carrying a M1 carbine or M14 or something. Uh, the actually sucks by today's standards, but I think it was more OK back in the 80s.nobody shoots anybody in the face unless youre a hit man or a video gamer. - Jack Thompson

I actually really like that one. Keeps you on your toes and is about as "realistic" as 8-bit is going to get, given that you can die suddenly at a moment's notice for a second of inattention.Originally Posted by Cullion

The rare Running Oak Tree grows as a native tree from Miami, Florida to northern Virginia and westward through the state of Mississippi. This dwarf oak tree can be easily distinguished by its running nature where it grows in clumps 3 feet tall, thriving along sandy beaches and poor soils to offer many small wildlife animals and game birds shelter and food from large clusters of acorns that form on the branches of the Running Oak Tree.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Sequoia Elementary is a school that truly cares about each child. Not just their academics, but what goes on in their lives. Most of the students that attend school here are on free lunch, and their parents are more concerned with putting a roof over their heads and food in their mouths. Many of the students have absolutely no help in the home with academics. Many parents can't speak English and we accept students all year who enroll that can't speak English. Aims scores may be lower than we'd like, but you should try to walk a mile in one of our students shoes.
Sequoia elementary and the academic arts dose not satisfy me they dont give my child any work or projects to do the children waste their times not paying attention, and the bullying my child got the blame for fighting someone that was buylling her and they put my child on probation and called the cops for defending her self , i dont appreciate the school and its staff
I would like to comment on the latest review of Sequoia Elementary. It really saddens me that the author felt he /she had to single out one administrator against the other. Ms. Fraiser is currently the Head of the Campus. Therefore, if that parent, staff member, or whomever commented is not satisfied with the overall leadership, why is the child and/or employee there??? Ms. Manogera has been principal for only a few months, I happen to disagree with the previous comments. I have had my kids their for 4 years and the only reason I kept them their was because of Ms. Fraiser. Since she has not been directly over just elementary it has a cold feeling. The office is unwelcoming and I always feel I am putting the current admin and staff"out"Staff always seemed stressed out, where as before they were happier. I do not want to move my kids mid year, but next year my kids will be leaving. Lastly, the previous review seems to be an inside job, how would a parent know that scores have improved during the short time Ms. Manogera has been there? Shame on who wrote the comment !
We just moved from CA and enrolled at this school. We are happy and the kids seem to like it. The teachers are qualified and leadership is strong. The organization seems to have it together although there is always room for improvement. We appreciate how smooth the transition was for our family. Enrollment was easier than what we have experienced in the past in other states. The campus is in a good location and drop off/pick up is fast and convenient. The school seems to be a good competitor for local public ones and we prefer the structure of a charter school. We also like the location and hours because it fits into our work schedules.
This school lacks discipline and direction for the students ground or online. A 21% graduation rate and hey check out the AIMS scores. The graduation rate is sure to go down when the AIMS has to be passed to graduate. It is not a school I would recommend on every level. Difficult to obtain information regarding my children even after years of attempting to correspond and discuss with the teachers my children's grades, progress, and important information. My children attend against my judgement.
This is our second year at Sequoia Elementary and we have loved it. Last year they went above and beyond to help out my 2nd grader who need to be put in a special class for reading. This year I have a 2nd and 3rd grader there and they love their teachers and their teachers are very involved with the student and keep in touch with the parents. I will keep my kids at Sequoia.
This is our first year at Sequoia Elmy. and so far not so great, my child was moved from kin. to first grade within the first two weeks of school in a class that is clearly over crowed (27 students and a part time teachers aid) with kids from 5 to 7 yrs. When I have spoken with my child's teacher she has made subtle comments about the classes being to full and how difficult it is to focus on any child's specific needs not to mention my child always complains that the teachers yell to much at the kids, and this I've seen may times. Needless to say we are transferring out of the school.
There were a great many problems this last year beyond not keeping up with the 'sales pitch' given by the princpal at the beginning of the year. A lack of Homework, the nonexistent nursing staff, and the completely disorganized student pickup and drop-off lead to a very unproductive and unsafe year. Our child is definitely not returning next term.
I have had my children at Sequoia for two years now and am pleased. The staff have always been forth-coming in any problems that my children may have. I have always felt welcome on campus by students and staff. This year I have a child in kindergarten and she is enjoying her class. I know that there are other choices for schooling out there. Yet, I feel that smaller classes,smaller campus, and a strong ciriculum are the keys to a good school experience.
Teh School will be undergoing major changes in the lowerschool personnel. The Kindergarden is very stron but the first grade is weak. The school is very well prepared to handle special ed kids. They also have a deaf ed program on campus and teach the kindergarden class in sign lanuguage. Overall it is a good school.
All of the Sequoia schools seem to be pretty good. My kids go to Sequoia Star Acadamy which is a distance learning/performing arts school. They love it. We really like the principal, teachers and district people. The kids who go to this school are very well mannered and extremely talented. We can't say enough good things about this school.
Its great, the administration really cares.
Sequoia Charter Elementary is a school that is past its prime. When I first enrolled my children in the 2002 - 2003 school year, there was a seperate principal for elementary, middle and high school. That abruptly changed in the '04 - '05 school year. One principal with inadeqate credintials, teachers being out on sick leave so long the students could barely finish an assignment and substitutes for these M.I.A. educators who were more intersted in entertaining 5th and 6th graders with the inapprotriate details of their life stories are just a few of the results of the disastrous decision. Add to this the parents were frozen out and ignored and you get a clear picture of the situation at Sequoia Elementary. Hopeful parents beware.
I am highly satisfied with the staff at Sequoia. I enjoy the activites that they provide for family and look forward to having all 3 of my children there next year. There full day kindergarten program is excellant - the principals this year are WONDERFUL. Thanks Sequoia for the outstanding work in my childrens education.

Quality Criteria for New Sound and TV Studios of Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WKR) in Dusseldorf-Requirements and Realization
In 1991, the WDR Broadcasting Corporation in Dusseldorf, completed a studio comprising two large television studios and some sound studios with control and technical rooms. The room acoustical design follows the so-called aimed acoustics regarding reverberation, reflections, and sound fields. Room in room constructions were necessary in order to avoid penetration of sound. Doors, windows, and double-floor construction will be explained with reference to similar studio buildings in Germany.

- A must have reference Review by Robert H
I've been reading about wood and working with wood (as a hobbyist) for over 10 years. I was amazed at how much I did not know and how much I learned in the 302 minutes of this DVD.
It has a well organized presentation, each topic following logically from the previous topic.
I will be viewing this DVD in its entirety many times and I will refer to individual chapters as needed.
This DVD is a bargain and should be in every woodworker's library.

Windows 7 fax and scan
Started yesterday when I am using Window 7 fax and scan program, when I try to send a fax I get the error box with a message "The message could not be sent. The media is write protected."
I have checked permissions and security, but cannot find anything wrong. PLEASE HELP.
I should add that i have re-stalled my scanner software. Would this have anything to do with it?

Here's a workaround I sometimes use. This may be helpful if you don't have many "write protected files". Open the atachement and maximize it on you monitor. Open the "Snipping Tool" program and use the "Rectangular Snip" capability to circumscribe and select the image area you need to include in the Fax message that you send. Open MSPaint, copy and paste the "Snipping Tool" image onto MSPaint window. Select File>SaveAs>Other Fomats>Save as Type:>TIFF (*.tif;*tiff) and name it something meaningful and save it. Open your Fax and Scan window and atach the .tif image you just created and send it.

I've got a similar problem with Fax and Scan with my Windows 7 Ultimate. I just finished composing a fax that had 4 jpeg attachments. When I try to send it, I get: "Windows can't fax or preview the attached file type.Try installing a program that allows you to print .tif files, save the attached file as a .tif file and try again." Windows Picture Gallery opens tif files with no problems, why would I need to convert this to a tif file anyways? I'm getting pissed!

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The owner of a Carson City casino is in
trouble with Nevada gaming regulators for using unauthorized poker
chips in tournaments.
Attorneys for Cactus Jack's casino say club owner David Scott Tate will pay $15,000 in fines for the violations. The settlement was approved Thursday by the Nevada Gaming Commission.
Regulations say that chips used in gaming transactions must be approved by the Gaming Control Board chairman. Regulations govern
the chip size and shape, and specify that chips must have the words "no cash value" imprinted on both sides.
The Nevada Appeal reports Tate also agreed to more oversight from state regulators as part of the settlement.
Tate operates several casinos and a slot route company.

Buh-bye Siemens: Nokia to splash €1.7bn turning NSN into N
Nokia is buying out its network partner Siemens, for €1.2bn in cash plus a half-a-billion loan, putting the Finnish firm in sole control of the infrastructure business. Ownership of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) is split equally between the companies, and managed to turn a thin profit last year following repeated rounds of cost- …
Considering their cash at the end of last year was apparently 3.6 billion euros. That's over half of their cash reserves to buy the company. That only (hah only) leaves them with 1.9bn euros.
By last accounts they were also losing around 500 million euros each year.
Is this just the part of a financial strategy game where you realized you're losing so you spend all your money in an attempt to get game over faster? Because really I can't see things going up from here, unless of course they're just lowering the value of the company so Microsoft can buy them for cheaper.
@ AC 1451h - Re: 1.7bn?
Because really I can't see things going up from here, unless of course they're just lowering the value of the company so Microsoft can buy them for cheaper.
I can't see anything wrong in spending some money on the parts of the company that earns and surely it doesn't drop the value of the company as a whole. Maybe they're thinking of dropping out of the handset market altogether (Siemens did that 10 years ago, and most likely would not be interested in having a new handset presence, so maybe offering it to MS?) and just do what brings in some dosh.
So, maybe a 3-way swap. Get rid of the unprofitable part, and gain full control of the profitable sector?
Makes sense to me . . .
Re: 1.7bn?
"Because really I can't see things going up from here, unless of course they're just lowering the value of the company so Microsoft can buy them for cheaper."
Well the Lumia phones are increasing market share rapidly, and they havnt even launched the top of the range EOS yet.. As are the low end Asha handsets - so likely they will be making a profit on mobile again this year. Then you have $10 billion worth of patents and licensing. Then you have the mapping division....and now the full NSN too....
Re: 1.7bn?
"Considering their cash at the end of last year was apparently 3.6 billion euros"
Net Cash != Available Cash....They have lots of cash.
Net Cash != Available Cash...
Is it not?
Gross Cash is the value of their assets. Assuming they are paying fair price, their Gross Cash remains unchanged because they spend money to get the equivalent value in NSN.
They have a net cash of between EUR 3.7 billion - EUR 4.2 billion and if they transaction is approved that will got down by 1.7 billion.
That's what Nokia is saying anyway...
At the current burn rate, they still haven enough cash to last the remainder of the year.
They just took a loan of 2.2 billion.
NSN had a bid to buy the Wireless division of Nortel for $650 million but Ericsson snatched it for just over a billion. It was still a steal and NSN looked cash strapped at the time.
Never got the reasoning behind this 'marriage'...
"Synergy" - as many merged companies have discovered - seems to be a very expensive word that means nothing.
Re: Never got the reasoning behind this 'marriage'...
IIRC, Nokia was looking to buy someone to make their networks division bigger, and Siemens was looking to sell but insisted on throwing in some parts of the business that Nokia did not want, so a JV was formed instead.
The synergy *can* be made to work, but I agree that for many merged companies, it doesn't.
(now I'll get tol to 'fork off!' )

Milwaukee Looking for new ideas
- b
- bishopsbitter May 4, 2008 07:09 AM
I've been to Milwaukee several times but somehow get the feeling its best chow is eluding me. Can anyone help?
Particular things I wonder about:
-local whitefish
-local smoked whitefish
- meat/fowl (lamb & duck/goose)
-places unlikely to be found in popular guide books etc. but excellent to try
-Wisconsin breakfast as it should be done
- always 24-hour diner type places
Any hints on general geography ("NW side for this or that ethnicity" etc.)
I fondly also remember stumbling into one of the uncountable neighborhood bars where they played nothing but Wagner and had impressive beer selections. If only I could find that place again. Wagner & suds works well for me.
Anyway mainly looking for something that will enable us to latch on to the real food locals savor.
Thanks a bunch.
I really like Yaffa. It's downtown on Wells st. http://www.yaffalounge.com/ It's middle eastern influenced. Love the dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon, great lamb, duck... Interesting drinks ginger mojitos etc.
Have fun!
Here is a recent thread that highlights some restaurants and areas;
I can't really say particular geographical areas are known for certain cuisines. There is a high concentration of Mexican restaurants on the near south side, 5th Ward. There are Serbian and Polish restaurants on the south side too. German restaurants are throughout as well as Italian.
24 hour diners are abundant , for some reason Milwaukee has a lot of Greek family style restaurants that are open 24 hours. Ma Fischers on the east side is a favorite late night/early morning destination.
Do you remember what part of town you stumbled into and found your Wagner and suds place? That may help to narrow it down.
re: Living4fun
Thank you. "Greek Diner" is music to my (ex East Coast) ears. :-)
As I recall the Wagner (mind's eye only) it is on the south of downtown although I cannot say whether also south of the airport (but I think maybe just North or South thereof). I can visualize a very wide street with brick old houses along both sides, some of which (duh!) are bars. You parked on the street right outside.
I seem to recall having to climb up a set of steps so the houses/bar may have old-fashioned steps up to them.
The bar was along the right wall as you walked in (this is not a huge place) and there was a sort of "self serve" cooler with all sorts of beer exotica on the left (far left) wall as you went in. There may have been a back room maybe that was a dining room at night. I recall scant eats: but a bologna sandwich was rustled up. (Maybe this was a Sunday prior to catching a flight home.) Maybe a staircase on the right past the bar as well. Up or down? Maybe down to the "facilities." Not sure.
I am not sure that there was not also a railroad nearby. That I may be dreaming. As you looked out you woul dbe looking east towards the lake. I am pretty sure of that. But it was a very residential are in feel except for these businesses. Farther to the south (north?) you ran into more industrial warehouse areas.
On this topic,. rather than a quest for the Holy Grail (Wagnerian joke) recaptured, are there any bars you can instantly feel at home in and never want to leave that you might recommend. I like the Wisconsin habit of "light & airy" bars (even with kids about) with windows and looking out versus any dark and claustrophic watering holes.
This was a nice place.
I keep vowing to keep a "little black book" with me at all times to jot down the names and locations of such places. One always tends to think one's memory will stand up but absent 10 years (this was since I was there) the memory goes.
Thanks a lot.
re: bishopsbitter
And as I think about it I think it had a verandah or at least a little patio area out front with a couple of tables. I think that's where the kids were hanging out with their parents.
Those who have not contemplated "The Ring" as good drinking music need to load up a Bayreuth CD and chug a few. I guarantee it's a good combination.
re: bishopsbitter
Hmmm, thanks for the great description, I'm going to have to think about this for a bit. Hopefully I can help you out on this one.
Neighborhood bars are abundant in Milwaukee. A bar and church on every block, so it seems. There is a great bar in the Bay View area called The Palomino,2491 S. Superior St.,Milwaukee, WI 53207. They serve good food and they also have live music. Their Sunday brunch is very good.
re: bishopsbitter
It was Zur Krone [sic?] on the near south side, I bet. While there's probably lots of places with good beer on tap, Von Trier on the corner of Farwell and North (east side) has a good beer selection on tap. No food. Lot's of places nearby. A search with east side will turn up a bunch
re: mike_d
EUREKA - That was it. The name is instantly ringing bells.
In fact I found
I was right about the steps, and the "verandah" in summer must have been tables on the sidewalk only.
But . . . CLOSED. Why does this keep happening to me!!!!!?????
re: bishopsbitter
Zur Krone is closed but in its place is a great restaurant called Crazy Water. The Chef cooks everything right behind the bar area.
Crazy Water
839 S 2nd St, Milwaukee, WI 53204
Omega on 27th & Morgan is, IMO, the best 24 hour Greek/diner place in the city. Beats Ma Fischer's food by a mile. Only in Milwaukee will you find dinner specials that include entree, soup or salad, dessert, AND BEER.
My favorite Mexican is Riviera Maya in Bay View (2200 ish block of S. Kinnickinnic.) Much more of a true restaurant experience as opposed to the Walkers Point places, which are more of a loud cantina type atmosphere. They have six mole sauces--out of this world.
re: MilwaukeeChow
After Singalong Sound of Music concludes at the Cabot / Skylight theater (guilty confession that is partly why we are going to MKE! unrequited goatherd (not goat cheese: chevre is not my cuppa tea) obsession~ http://www.singalonga.net/usa/index.html !) Omega has our name on it for a late dinner. Thanks!
Just got back from a dog show at Oconomowoc (about an hour west of Milwaukee) - had great German food at Schwerfels - liver dumpling soup, sauerbraten and strawberry schaum - big lunch menu. Also had dinner at Wisconsin's oldest restaurant "Zak's Pleasant Valley Inn" in West Allis WI ( 414-321-4321) - great historical building, great food; it was lobster night but we chose the duck and the halibut - great ambiance, comfortable chairs, nice service and A+++ food. I had one of their speciality cocktails Brandy something and lived to tell the tale. Definitely worth the detour as Michelin would say.
Not probably found in a guidebook, but excellent is Emperor of China. It has blasted the restaurants I have tried in the Chicago area out of the water with its Chinese cuisine.
Trip report
Thanks to all for the great suggestions. It was a good trip.
First dinner was at (no surprise) Karl Ratzch's preceded by cocktails at a place caddy corner to it. A boutique hotel with an art deco theme and name which escapes me. But it was a pleasant venue for drinks. They also had a fair dinkum-looking pasta bar all-u-can-eat for $7 or so. Pasta cooked to order. There was a bit of intrigue when I requested to buy 1 all-you-can-eat in order to get a few nibbles (which I love with drinks) but they seemed to think this was a plot to defraud them into us both (my wife & I) gorging ourselves silly for the price of 1. I assured them (but they took some convincing) that I was quite willing to pay $7.95 for about 3 biscuits and a couple pieces of salami. And that's what I had but their attitude of suspicion I could have lived without.
Ratzch's I had been to before. There's nothing not to like. Even the prices are not too exotic (although we added on a very nice champagne which bumped it up). What I did notice on a Thursday night is that the clientele seemed 100% out-of-town business crowd. This I don't like on general principle as something must be wrong if the locals are not in evidence. But the décor was good. My goose shank, quite good if not brilliant. My wife's goulasch, not quite so dandy. A very slight hint that it had scorched. But the smoked salmon pate was a standout appetizer. In previous visits I seemed to recall matjes herring but wither I am dreaming or it's now gone from the menu.
Breakfast next morning at Ma Fischer's. It was good but nothing drastically noteworthy.
Best meal of the trip was a Saturday lunch at Kegel's Inn (5901 W. National Ave.). This is a place made in heaven in my book. Charming and 100% unstuffy atmosphere, lovely dining rooms with old-world touches galore (including stained glass) and top-hole bar with vampire-busting sun-light in evidence. We both had the regular fish fry and had to order "another round" of fish. Very good. But the best find was when I spotted people at the bar with elegant (and huge) ½ L tulip glasses of good-looking beer. I ordered these and these weiss beers which arrived were superb with an aromatic "nose" akin to wine! Unusual for me to like light, lager-style, beer. But this was great beer and perfect with fish with a lemon slice.
Late dinner was at Paul's Omega Diner (27th & Morgan) and this was AOK. Nothing can revitalize a late night appetite like a greek salad and gyros plate. The tomatoes. The onions. The salad dressing & feta. It is a great late-night choice. Not that sure about their habit of ('after [x] o'clock') whopping on a mandatory 15% service charge on the ticket even for 2 persons. I can sort of see that drunks may stagger in, be pesky to serve, and omit to leave any tip, but still. It was a bit too "socialistic" for my liking. I never stiff waitresses or waiters and their net was a loss by making the service mandatory as 15% was less than I would normally have left.
Breakfast the next morning as Miss Katies diner. This one is overlooking the big casino (quite a good casino). A pleasant sunny spot for breakfast but VERY LIMITED menu. Also I ordered "country ham" and I hate this when I discover that "country ham" is not "country" ham at all but "country" only applies vaguely to ham vaguely being a product of a farmscape, not that it is hacked off a huge edifice from Kentucky and salty & tasty as hell. Overally can't enthuse about Miss K's. Memo to self: must order some country ham!
Lunch was at the Milwaukee Ale House. Their cask-conditioned ale was irritating as it was obviously very well made but a very sweet porter impossible to drink much of unless you had a palate of a 5 year-old, which few beer drinkers do. I ended up doing Frankenstein experiments with ½ of that mixed with their (fairly awful) non-cask bitter. The food was nothing to write home about but that was not the reason for going. Service was good at the bar.
Dinner was skipped following The Sound of Music. The singalong sound of Music was marred by people laughing not "with" but "at:" this epic of cinema Also a fairly naff sound system. But the True Faithful of Juliedom also voiced up quite well at times.
Breakfast (farewell one) back at Paul's Omega. A darned good breakfast was had. Paul's cakes & pies also demand attention in their sugary splendor at the cases up front.
Milwaukee has good eats. It really does.
Kegel's Inn though is the place of them all I would head back to on a regular basis.
Thanks for reading.


text: Waxman: Selling Individual Insurance is 'Abuse' Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 30 Oct 2013 post a comment Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), who serves as Ranking Member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, called the private sale of cheap health individual insurance plans "the worst abuses of the insurance industry" and said that Obamacare would halt those abuses. Waxman was defending the new standards Obamacare established for individual plans, which is causing the cancellation of millions of plans. Waxman was speaking during a hearing featuring testimony from Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, who defended the cancellations and said that President Barack Obama had not, in fact, broken his promise that people who liked their health insurance plan could keep it. People were not being dropped, she said--they were just being given better health insurance plans that they were required to buy. Following Waxman, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) compared the cancellations to the government forcing drivers to trade in Fords to buy Ferraris. Under Waxman's logic, the fact that consumers might benefit from cheaper plans, even if those plans did not offer the same array of benefits, is irrelevant. The free choice of individual consumers and insurance providers offering a legal and beneficial product is defined as "abuse." Under Waxman's definition, a student graduating from a professional school who happened to be older than 26 (and hence ineligible to stay on his or her parents' insurance) and who found a job in a small organization that did not provide insurance to employees would be a victim of "abuse" if he or she found an affordable individual insurance policy that provided basic protection from catastrophic health problems. Waxman--and Obamacare--would rather force that graduate to choose between a far more expensive policy on the Obamacare exchanges (assuming he or she could register) that includes more benefits than he or she wants, on the one hand, or not buying any insurance at all and paying the penalty to the IRS, on the other, knowing full well that he or she could not be denied emergency treatment or insurance coverage later. The graduate, facing rent and student loan payments, would effectively be forced to become uninsured. That sounds more like "abuse" than allowing individuals to buy insurance they want at a price they are prepared to pay. It is also not a hypothetical situation--it describes my own situation a few years ago, when I bought affordable insurance from United Healthcare. Little did I know I had been a victim of "abuse."

Motorists are aware they must take some responsibility for easing congestion. But there is a great deal of antipathy about the measures they know they need to take.
64% are likely to use public transport more - but only 26% are very likely.
60% are likely to reduce the number of personal journeys they make - but only 20% are very likely.
51% that could, said they are likely to car share or car pool with colleagues more often - but only a quarter are very likely.
84% of motorists also say they would want to see immediate evidence of investment in public transport to make road pricing acceptable. But the experience in Manchester highlights how messages are not getting across to motorists. 79% of voters rejected a proposed congestion charging scheme in the city even though the Government pledged £3bn investment in public transport and, more crucially, that the charge would only be brought in once 80% of the public transport improvements were in place.
