DENVER (AP) - A storm packing large hail, wind and heavy rain rolled through parts of Colorado on Monday evening.
The storm brought an end to triple-digit temperatures but caused isolated flooding and power outages. There were also reports of downed trees.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina says the hardest hit area was Arvada, where there were reports of golf ball-sized hail and 70 mph winds. Kalina says in Byers, east of Denver, there were 3 inches of hail on the ground. The weather service also issued flash-flood warnings in Arapahoe and Elbert counties.
The storm started in northern Colorado in Larimer County, moved through Boulder County, and then the Denver area. It followed a day with a high of 100 degrees, which Kalina says was the hottest temperature of the year.

We're planning a trip to Pittsburgh and Fallingwater later this summer. I've found a lot of Pittsburgh dining suggestions from the board -- does anyone have suggestions for dining near Fallingwater?
Here's a link to a post of mine:
I don't think I said it there, but Nemacolin was so so - pretty good food, strange service, and expensive. The other place, Newmyer House - I think you have to spend the night there to eat in the dining room, but it would be well worth - an incredibly memorable meal, albeit awhile ago now.
Edit - I couldn't find a current website link for Newmyer and called them, and sadly they are closed.
re: MMRuth
West of Nemacolin, I've always liked the Century Inn in Scenery Hill. It isn't quite close to Fallingwater, but quite good.
It has been a couple of years since my wife and I have been to Farmington for Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob. We have stayed in the area three times. Of the few motels, we liked the National Trail Motel in Markleysburg the best. It is a restored 1940s style motel. In the summer, hummingbirds stop to feed. For food, the Stonehouse Inn was good for dinner. For lunch, we enjoyed the tavern at Nemacolin Woodlands. The tavern (located at the far back of the buildings) had good sandwiches plus the world's largest cylindrical indoor fish tank. Glisan's, next door to the National Trail had a good breakfast with homemade bread. We also had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant in Uniontown but don't remember its name. Sorry this isn't current as I would like, but it is the best I can do.
re: jrl2929
Chez Gerard is an excellent idea.
you will find a few places right off of rt. 40 (the national pike). if you are coming from pittsburgh on rt. 51 s and hitting rt. 40 e, look for the summit inn on the right as you top the 1st mountain http://www.summitinnresort.com/. also, you can make a left towards jumonville to hit up fabrizi's italian restaurant http://www.fabrizis.com/ if you decide to eat at fabrizi's, you may want to also hike up to the jumonville cross, which is 60 ft tall atop one of the many mountaintops http://jumonville.gospelcom.net/gi/jv... i'm not religious in any way, but standing at the base of this enormous cross is pretty awe-inspiring. additionally, the town of ohiopyle has a few eateries worth visiting, as well as an observation deck at the falls http://www.fay-west.com/ohiopyle/. also, here's a map of fayette county in case you want to venture away from fallingwater http://www.fay-west.com/fayette/map/ hope this helps!
Just got back from Fallingwater. We stayed at the Summit Inn which was clean and interesting for its history--a beautiful lobby, giant fireplace, gorgeous veranda with a view of the valley, and okay food. The chocolate bundt cake came with excellent vanilla ice cream. Breakfast was good. It's pretty much what we expected for an old inn. The cafe at Fallingwater itself is good, so that's another option. We were told by the Kentuck Knob folks to pick Summit Inn over Stonehouse.
re: indcgirl
I didn't realize that Fallingwater has a cafe - what kind of food? My grandparents spent their honeymoon at the Summit and we spent a night there as well, but didn't eat there.

It was a drizzly June day when I went to the Essex Conference Center & Retreat, Essex, Mass., for a teambuilding program. But the wisps of fog didn't obscure the center's beautiful natural setting; in fact, the Oriental gardens and koi pond by the facility's main building looked almost magical with the mist rising slowly above the blooming rhododendrons. Though it's just 45 minutes from Boston and right off Route 128, I felt like I was in a different world altogether as I wound up the ...

Fla. Legislature passes school textbook bill
School districts would have to give parents a chance to object to textbooks used in schools under a bill passed by the Florida Legislature.
The legislation now headed to Gov. Rick Scott would require districts to hold a public hearing if parents object. But it would not get rid of an existing state review of textbooks.
The Senate on Thursday voted 31-4 for the bill (SB 864).
Earlier this month the Senate narrowly approved a bill that would have eliminated state review of textbooks and would have forced districts to take over the job.
The House refused to go along with the proposal which was opposed by school boards and Education Commissioner Pam Stewart.
The bill was pushed this year amid complaints about the state's move to Common Core standards.

Heartbroken is the best word I can think to describe how I feel right now.
I posted this on my Inspire journal too thus all the extra explanation I know you girls don't need, but I can't bring myself to go through it again to adjust. Please apologize for the extra details. I guess there was a reason why I didn't do IVF this time because now I question whether I should....read on....
At the end of May after finding out about our ectopic with DS IVF, DH quit smoking and quit one of his psoriatic arthritis drugs that may have been causing an issue with his count. His 0 count has unknown origins and he does sometimes have sperm just not when we need it, thus using donor sperm on last IVF. He had a flare last month with his arthritis but still didn't restart the extra drug (he still takes a monthly shot for it but not the daily supporting drug since it has known sperm issues in rats), then he flared again this month and he can barely walk, he needs that drug to see if that will help with the flare. So we figured its been 3 months now hopefully he will show some improvement. Today he had an SA with freezing if they found anything. As long as I have DH's sperm I dont care if its fresh or frozen, but at first I was upset about this. They said to call this afternoon for results. I called at 12:08. My heart raced...I thought about praying again but thought it was too late for that. The results...zero. I repeated to make sure I heard right...they found none? That's right, they didn't find anything. They did a spin to make sure and still nothing.
My heart fell and shattered.
You would think I would have taken it better since I already heard this news once before. But the stopping smoking and stopped medicine gave me renewed hope. I really could have a baby that was a mix of the two of us. I was looking forward to it. I was hoping for at least 10 sperm...that's all i wanted 10. Last time I had less eggs than that so I figured 10 would be enough and even if i had to buy donor sperm back up at least some of my eggs could be mixed with DH's. I was happy and excited. I was mad when my period fell a few days too late to do IVF this cycle but now I'm glad it didn't.
I don't know if I want to go through IVF again. I was only doing it again with the prospect of DH's sperm. There is nothing 'wrong' with me diagnostically there is no reason IUI shouldn't work and we did try 2 IUIs with donor sperm but felt they were never timed right and we feared multiples. We did IVF in hopes it would be our best chance and it was...it worked! but it was ectopic. When I cried about the loss, DH made me feel better about it by saying we'd do it again and this time we'd use his sperm. So I was happy. I even thought how much MORE distraught I'd be if this was DH's baby and not a DS baby when I got the ectopic news. Don't get me wrong it was horrible and it saddened me but just the mere thought of it being DH's baby was just unimaginably worse in my mind.
Now I don't know what to do. I don't have to make a decision right now. We can't cycle IVF until the November/December uptime so I just need to make a decision by the end of October. Thing is I don't care about MY genetics. My family is crazy for the most part and I rarely if ever see them anymore. DH's family is loving and funny and caring and overall just wonderful. That is what I want. I know its nature and NURTURE and our child would likely pick up many of those traits from his father and his family, but I'm just saying I'm not invested in passing on my genes so why go to such extremes to do so with IVF again? sigh.
But then what do I do? Do I do IUIs again? They are costly with donor sperm and low chance of success and risk of multiples. But its less painful physically and less cost if it works within a few more cycles.
Do I look into embryo donation? This I would gladly accept and do this but its actually cheaper for me to do IVF with OE because we have 80% insurance coverage.
Also if we do IVF again now would be the best time. My deductible is more than paid for this year with the other IVF so it is essentially $1000 cheaper than it was last time and $1000 cheaper than waiting until next year or another year. Also I am only 31. The older I get the more likely I will begin to have issues on my end as well.
Or do we start saving for adoption?
Or do we just accept our fate and live childless? I often worry especially when DH flares that there is no way I could take care of a child in addition to caring for my husband. He is on disability and while part of the month he is 'okay' but still very limited mobility wise long term (for instance we went to Disney but he used a scooter and he still had some issues), but sometimes he is so bad he can't get up and around without help. So I work all day, come home, take care of the house, prepare and clean up meals, take care of him (rub him, help him dress, shower, put on topical medications,etc) and then maybe there will be a little time left over for me to relax and wonder how on earth I could take care of a baby on top of this. But then when he's feeling better he helps me around the house and helps with meals and can take care of himself and its these times I think what a wonderful father he will be and how its so unfair we don't have a child yet. Right now he's flaring so I'm bias towards the wondering how on earth I could care for a child too mindset so that doesn't help this issue or maybe it does.
I feel like I've given up so much already for this child though I am not sure I'm ready to give up. I stayed at my job because of the infertility coverage then if I get pregnant I would stay for the maternity leave coverage (which is unpaid but since I've been here over 12 months I will have full FMLA benefits). My job is not in my field of study but its easy and pays okay (more than min wage anyway). When I leave work I don't worry about it or think about. I can focus on my husband and family when I'm not at work. I went to graduate school to be a school counselor to help children reach their full potential and be the best they can be. I accepted the fact I would never be this but was okay with the fact because at least i would have my own kids and that would make me happy. That said, I've never given up a job opportunity there simply weren't any available and they all wanted teachers for the open jobs even though its not legally required but that's what the schools want. I tried working in social services with kids but it was much too stressful emotionally for me. But my point is I gave up that dream because I thought I would have kids of my own and that would be enough. I've since tried to change my focus to maybe college aged kids but again I stayed at my current job for the benefits. I also need to find a job that pays at least as well as my current one since I am the primary income for our household. I can't take a low paying job in education or social services or something that could lead to something higher paying later. So here I sit a secretary with a master's degree and no children. I guess I could refocus my career and try for something better but not with children that would be too hard.
My husband sometimes wonders why I don't leave him. He even asked me that last night, truth is I love him. I can't imagine life without him. In the past I'd say no children was a deal breaker for me but now I don't know. He is open to donor sperm and to adoption so we can still have children just not how I want. I seem to be the one with issues with it. Emotional issues with donor sperm and financial issues with adoption as well as emotional ones. I don't think I'm ready for adoption and its ups and downs either emotionally.
This is a really long ramble but any thoughts and fresh perspective would be appreciated. If nothing else thanks for reading....

We've made a decision!
It was partially due to what Christina posted...I had seen it before but I hadn't thought about that one sperm surviving the thaw and I've been mad about them freezing it and charging us since they did it. But as that story showed one sperm is enough. So I thought about it all weekend and finally asked DH if we could use his one sperm. They got it while he was on his medication but the urologist said if the meds caused issues they just wouldn't fertilize, it would be that type of error. Apparently it showed decreased fertilization rates in rats not abnormal rats. So with that said. Even though its highly unlikely the sperm will survive and if it does there is a chance it won't fertilize I am willing to go through IVF for that 1 in a million chance! I will likely be disappointed when i learn it doesnt survive the thaw or doesn't fertilize my egg but at least we tried.
DH went off his meds for 3 months and when I try to apologize he said the pain was worth it for the chance that we'd get something. We didn't but it was worth it for the chance. I will have keep that mindset.
Also I am going to keep searching for the 'perfect' donor. No one will be as perfect as DH but I want to get as close as possible. Sperm is sent next day air anyway so we have lots of time to decide.

==== Please disregard my siggy.. i don't know how to remove it from a post.
elizabeth.. I was just lurking and saw your post. I say go for another IVF.. your deductible is paid and your chances of it working are high. I know it hard to keep going. As far as the DS goes, i was on the other end of things with donor eggs.. After 3 failed IVFs and 4 cancelled cycles, i knew that donor eggs would be the best option for us. Dh on the other hand was like you, he wanted a child that was mine and his. For me the genetics were no big deal, i just wanted a child. Maybe your DH is the same, he just wants to make you happy and also have a child. Maybe the genetics for him is no big deal. It took my DH another year of unsuccessful cycles to finally sway him to donor eggs. Now he thanks me for going this route because he loves his little boy and see his life without him now. DE was our end of the road, if this didn't work then we were living life without children. Regardless of the genetics that little boy is mine. Try not to think about the genetics and DS so much.. Once that baby is in your arms and DH arms, it doesn't matter. Eventhough my boy doesn't have my genetics he is still laid back just like me. So your baby will learn a lot just from his environment.
|Tue, 09-11-2012 - 1:40pm
Yeah, I'm definitely the same way as your hubby. I could care less about MY genetics but I wanted to have DH's baby. DH on the other doesn't care about his genetics actually he'd rather not pass on his disease to anyone. It has put him through so much pain he doesn't want to pass that on. He sees it as a BLESSING that we can't use his sperm so he can't pass it on to HIS child. This is how he originally talked me into donor sperm. However he also told me if the last IVF didn't work he'd stop his meds and stop smoking and we could try his sperm. He kept his side of the bargian up so I can't ask for more. It's just a matter of accepting the fact.
I think I finally have gotten back on the donor sperm train. Now its just a matter of finding the perfect donor that isn't DH.

Best Seattle Sushi
- j
- JT Sep 27, 2002 09:45 PM
My girlfriend and I have one night in Seattle. We're staying at the Inn at the Market (but have a car) and we want a unique Northwest sushi experience. Price is no object. A view would be great. Thoughts?
Josh, scroll down and read my post about Ototo. Best new Sushi in Seattle and very inventive. Shiro's would be my second chioce.
In my opinion Shiro's (Belltown) is the best in town. Saito's (Downtown), Nishino (Madison Park), Kisaku (Greenlake) and Chiso (Fremont) are excellent as well.
You can get very good sushi at Sushiman in Issaquah, an upscale community 15 minutes east of Seattle (directly east on I-90, very easy to find). I've pasted the link below. Before Sushiman moved into their new building, about 3 years ago, I was a regular and enjoyed the fresh sushi as well as the box lunches at about $12 a pop. The reputation of this place steadily grew and given the high number of million dollar homes all around Issaquah, it was maybe a good idea for them to make the move down the street into a new building. It seems they made their food even better, with a very high standard, but the pricing basically makes it a deal-killer for me. Even my old boss, who probably pays himself 300k/yr, mentioned that he no longer takes his family there because it's just too darn spendy. Last time I ate there, it was nearly $100 for four, and it was lunch (but we ate quite a lot). Two for dinner can easily be $100, but you said price is no object, so if that's the case then I'd give it consideration. Issaquah is located in the foothills of the Cascade mountains, and it's surrounded by beautiful "Issaquah Alps" (a range of three peaks--Squak, Tiger, and Cougar). Now through end of October there are giant salmon spawning in Issaquah creek, there is a beautiful public hatchery, and the first weekend of October is the annual Issaquah Salmon Days. You just might have a great time in Issaquah, with Sushiman and everything else going on.
If you want to spend alot of money for mediocre sushi, I would recommend Shiro's. For excellent sushi at a reasonable price, I would recommend "I Love Sushi" in Bellevue or "Tokyo" in Factoria. Shiro's offers nothing over these two places buy many Seattlelites are afraid to wander east on I90. So, Shiros charges more money for sushi which is nothing special.
re: Foodguy
May I suggest trying Shiros but in "another way".
It has been my experience that you can have a fabulous dining experience at Shiros by setting at the bar and not ordering anything from the menu.
Instead, give Shiro permission to control your sushi experience and your dinner sequence.
More often than not, your food experience will be completely different than any other sushi bar in Seattle. (Monk fish foie gras, salmon cartiledge, etc.) I think you will come away with a different impression of Shiros. I know I did.
re: Seattle Rose
This is absolutely true. And yes, I'm afraid to take I90 except to see my in-laws or make it out for golf or fishing. I really don't like traffic. :)
Since you'll be downtown, I'd walk to Shiro's, getting there early so you can sit in front of Shiro's station at the sushi bar, and ask him to take care of you. I think the sushi at I Love Sushi is just as good, the prices are a little lower, it's more casual, and I love some of their inauthentic rolls. But Shiro is a master and you can taste some more unusual things.
Someone mentioned I Love Sushi in Bellevue. Huh? That's their original place, but the one in Lake Union has identical food and infinitely nicer atmosphere, not to mention that you don't have to cross Lake Washington to get there.
I don't get all the excitement over Ototo. I live a block away so I go there a lot, but their sushi, while good, is noticeably less wonderful than the other places mentioned here.
I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a "unique Northwest sushi experience" (except maybe an "Ichiro roll" :-), but there are plenty of nice places to try. Shiro's and Saito's are good and in walking distance but my recommendation is Sammi Sushi in Magnolia (about a 10 minute drive). It's at the marina with a nice view of downtown (which you can't see from the sushi bar), a fine menu, and very good sushi. Have fun!
There's some good sushi in Seattle... I loved Saito (downtown), and I hear Nishino is divine, but nothing beats my neighborhood haunt, Mashiko. You'll have to drive to this West Seattle spot, but you won't be sorry. Let Hajime do his thing and you'll end up with a gorgeous plate. Hajime's food is art, hand's down. Better than just pleasing the eye, though, his sushi also uniquely combines wonderful flavors and textures. The atmosphere is casual and mellow, and the music is great. Check it out!
re: kerry
I hope I'm not too late, but I highly recommend going to Mashiko's and when you do, ask for omakase, or chef's choice. Even if you don't end up going to Mashiko's, order chef's choice, you'll get more interesting sushi and you'll more than likely get items that aren't on the menu and be completely surprised. I've done omakase at most of the great sushi restaurants in Seattle like Shiro's and Shiki's, but none compare to the innovation and sublimeness of Mashiko's. I've written a number of reports on Mashiko's (I'm not a reporter, just a diner!), if you'd like to read them and get a better feeling, here's the link:
My personal favorite is I love Sushi. I fyou're sitting at the bar(is there any other way?) feel free to ask the chef for an omikase meal, and prepare to be wowed.
I don't quite understand the raves for Shiro's. I've been three three times, and each time was okay but very pricey. For that amount, I's rather go to Nishino's. And while I liked Nishino's, it's just too pretentious for me. I loved the portion sizes at Mashiko, but often it was hit or miss and with the amount of food you get there, I'd rather it be mostly hits. Unfortunately, it has been mostly misses - and the miso soup has always tasted like soap to me.
For a great sushi experience, try Maneki's in the International District. It is one of the oldest, if not the oldest sushi restaurant in the ID. For great sushi, skip I love sushi and go straight to Kisaku's - you'll get the same great prices but better fish. And the toro - beautiful! Kisaku's is easily my favorite Seattle sushi place currently. Saito's was good but not spectacular enough for me to definitely return. Sanmi sushi was very nice - they have beautiful amaebe - but a little far from downtown.
re: Lani
Is Maneki's the place with lots of glass windows, that's on the second floor of the building that has a popular travel agent downstairs, at the intersection where the old Uwajimaya and the post office are kitty-corner from each other? My friend was in that restaurant not too long ago eating Japanese food and he said Sasaki (Seattle Mariner) was there too. Well, if Sasaki likes it, must be good :)
re: Lani
I think maybe there is too much involved in a sushi 'experience' to generically label a place as THE place to go. What do you like about sushi? What are you looking for?
I remember when I first moved here and went to O'hana and had a great sushi experience. It was probably my third time with sushi and my co-workers ordered unagi and a couple inside out rolls. It was much better than anything I had up to that point.
Months or years later I went to Wasabi Bistro for the first time and saw all the crazy rolls on the menu. It was like sushi for Americans and I instantly fell in love with the place. I went back many times to buy godzilla and Ichirolls and all types of rolls fried and/or with cream cheese. I even took some customers there and my parents while visiting. I had my first taste of White Salmon, which was delicious.
Sometime later, my gf took me to Saito's, her fav place, where I had toro for the first time. So sweet and creamy it only hurt a little to spend so much on such a little piece.
I have had the most amazing experiences at Shiro's in regards to sushi, but it has only been one time when I was newer to sushi and got the sashimi platter with a bunch of friends at a table and years later, every time I sat at the bar and ordered omakase. I've had 2-3 mediocre experiences there when I have ordered a random platter / chef choice of sushi off the menu from a table.
Nowadays, I don't much care for rolls and so places like O'hana and Wasabi have little interest to me. It's not to say they are bad (OK, maybe O'hana is). I still like Wasabi Bistro for other things and I think it's very representative of the 'Belltown' area and they have a tasty crab soup and fried calamari salad. Saito's is obviously very good and formal but for some reason I go there less and less even though I've had delicious sushi there.
But lately, sitting at the bar on Sunday nights at Shiro's has proven to be some of the most memorable dining experiences I have had lately and it seems like there has always been something new and delicious in our omakase experience.
So it just depends on what you're looking for in the restaurant. Do you care about roll selection (Wasabi has a million rolls)? Are you looking for the biggest selection of toro (Saito's has like 3)? Do you care about the atmosphere and ambience on a friday night (little, if any at a Shiro's table)? Do you want a fun, young place with low lighting and more lively atmosphere (O'hana and Wasabi thrive here)? Or are you looking for a casual and quiet meal sitting in front of the sushi master waiting to see what comes next? Luckily, there are plenty of choices for us here in Seattle.
I really really love Umi Sake House on 1st Ave in Belltown. The sashimi/nigiri is always super fresh and good sized -- plus they have really inventive rolls. They also have a really good happy hours: the first is from 4-6p but then they have another at 11pm - You can get 12 pieces of high-grade delicious sashimi for $10! Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious -- and they have these really cute little coffee table/bench tables in the back. And heated toilet seats :)
I highly recommend Kappo--the new omakase sushi bar by the owner of Chiso. It's a private hideaway with just 10 seats at the sushi bar. You receive a 6 course meal for $100 and it is an incredible experience. One course is sashimi, one course is soup, one course is kobe beef (from japan), one course is sushi and then whatever else Tai Chisan wants to serve. You must make a reservation because he doesn't open unless there are reservations on the books. It's expensive but worth it.
re: niknik2
I sat at the bar at Chiso (not Kappo) for the first time last night and was very impressed. We gave the chef carte blanche on sashimi and sushi, with the only guideline being we wanted mirugai (geoduck) and that we enjoyed unusual things. The sashimi course included one of the most luxurious bites I have ever taken: an oyster on the half shell topped with a generous dollop of uni, salmon roe, tobiko, and a raw quail's egg. Magnificient. For a geoduck sashimi neophyte, I found it an amazing combination of crisp and forgiving textures, with an unmistakable briny flavor; the hamachi belly was the most decadent and rich I've had, and the albacore was also outstanding. The nigiri standout was the abalone (I think) with chiso leaf, and the sweet shrimp was very good. Overall, a very impressive selection and presentation (the chef said he considered what he might order if he was out with his wife, and made this happen for us). The meal was much more expensive ($120 for two w/o tip) than those we usually enjoy at our standbys, Saito's and Kisaku (appx. $60-80). However, the sashimi portions are generous at Chiso, and of course we indulged in some more precious sea creatures this time around.
re: soypower
Sushi-wise Nijo is ok but not particularly outstanding. It is more of a destination for happy hour (lychee martinis etc) or cooked food (kalbi or various rolls etc) imo. Don't expect much in the way of service. They're definitely a step up from Koji Osakaya (a couple blocks north on the Harbor steps) fwiw.
re: soypower
When I worked in the building it was a great place for a lunch bento box or some happy hour nibbles. Not anything to write home about, but worth spending the GC, for sure.
I just returned from Shiro's. The reviewers who say it's overrated have no idea what they're talking about. If you want to order a Dynamite Roll or Philadelphia Roll, then by all means listen to the naysayers. But if you want authentic omakase sushi prepared to perfection, then pay a visit to Shiro's. I've had sushi all over Tokyo, and I can tell you that Shiro's would be a top 5% restaurant in Tokyo. In Seattle, it's simply the best. (I also enjoyed Kissaku.)
re: tkennedy1228
I'm going to Shiro's for the first time this Friday - I can't wait. Definitely ordering omakase. Will report back!

Bletchley Park earns first ever lottery grant
Bletchley Park earned its first ever national lottery grant on Monday with an award of £460,000 to fund long term development work. The wartime code-breaking centre also won the chance to submit more detailed plans and apply for £4.1m of Heritage Lottery Fund support within the next two years. The lottery funding is needed to …
Well Done Camelot

Good good

About bloody time
Heritage Lottery are one of most anal grant making bodies in the UK.
About time too
Good to see grant money put to such good use :D
English Heritage/National Trust
I'm surprised that neither of these have taken it on, though I guess Bletchley Park may be choosing to remain independent.
Still, at least the Lottery are spending money on worthwhile things.
Yay !
That is all.
Lottery money heading in the right direction for once.
Now if only they could get the Enigma-cracking machines predicting lottery results ;)
Censors Remote
i suppose if anyone can, Bletchley Park will be the ones to break the complex structure of extracting money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Maybe they should set up a sideline that could be quite prifitable, claiming grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund on behalf of others !!!
BB because "Erectness Room" (an)
I had to read that several times...without a "-" in "grant-making" I felt like you were implying something else about them...

It stinks that 90% of lottery funding goes on "art projects" which offer no value and that no one other than an extremely small niche of the population actually give a damn about.
It's about time lottery money went on something wortwhile.

For smart people they sure act dumb
To get lottery funding from these metrosexual political animals you likely have to send in blurb ticking all the boxes using the right buzzwords.
It's simply not enough to be deserving and part of our heritage.
Probable buzzwords to include traveller, inclusivity, diversity, multi-faith, etc.

Paris coffee question- am I limited to cafes?
This will sound like a noob-ish question, but, well, I guess it is, so please forgive...
I was scouring the streets of le Marais today for a good cup of coffee, and totally struck out. Ended up buying an espresso at a boulangerie after all else failed. I am well aware of the Parisian cafe tradition- but as a tourist, I really don't want to spend time sitting down at a cafe every time I want a cup. And yet it also seems silly to go to Starbucks when I'm in Paris. I sort of assumed there would be incredible coffee everywhere in this city, but I guess I also assumed it would accessible in take-away paper cup form. Anyone have thoughts on this? Or is a cafe my only choice for a good morning cup?
The 'parisian coffee's awful 'v' parisian coffee's the beans knees' debate breaks out regularly on these boards, usually descending into open warfare.
All you need to know is that generally it's awful.
Saying that, a lot of places sell coffee to go in plastic beakers. If you don't speak French, just ask for a "café à emporter s'il vous plait." or a "un café creme à emporter."
If you're in the Marais, Pozzetto, the gelato place on the rue de la Verrerie serves very good coffee.
re: vielleanglaise
v. helpful; thank you
re: vielleanglaise
Paris coffee is no longer what it was. Now, it's usually bad and the decent places are inconsistent, especially in tourist areas. I guess the places make a lot of money on pulling lousy robusto in small dosages, or some other kind of almost instant, over-processed, industry solution.
The only thing worse is ordering a beer at cafes. Most places can't manage a clean glass and Heineken, Stella and Kro are lowest common denominator to the extent of not being pleasurable to drink anymore.
What's the world coming to?
re: Oakglen
not sure why, but it's not easy to get German beer of any kind on tap in France. Fischer, Kro, 1664, all the French beers, and once in a while a Belgian beer, but darned difficult to get anything else...and that goes for English and Irish beers, as well.
re: sunshine842
Not to hijack the thread, but there is a lot of fake Belgian (Blanche) and fake stout (Beamish) to be had. It's a result of economics.
re: Ptipois
Blanche isn't specifically Belgian. It's wheat beer. Witbier in German where it's also made.
While I think with its reputation, it's fair to critcise the coffee here, Paris isn't and has never been a real beer town. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
For beer fiends, many of the bars and cafés around the Gare du Nord serve Belgian beers, sometimes on tap.
Perhaps I frequent high class joints, but I've never had the problem with dirty glasses.
Sure, there isn't the same choice as in England, but most places serve at least two kinds of cheap "blonde", plus a stronger brew.
The galopin serving seems to have died, which is sad.
re: vielleanglaise
I was speaking about a specific brand of Blanche that has become ubiquitous and is terrible, might be "Blanche de Bruxelles" or "Blanche de Brugges."
The problem with the other international lagers tasting like crap is a worldwide phenom.
I've actually gone off beer in Paris unless it's at a beer place like those you've mentioned.
re: vielleanglaise
I know nothing about beer but that never stopped me from commenting.
"Paris isn't and has never been a real beer town." Maybe not, but I'm appalled and impressed by the amount of beer and colas in a land where there's a glut of wine.
re: John Talbott
Just came back from Ardèche. Had an Ardèche cola, called Colardèche, that was quite good.
Not surprising, considering how excellent the Ardèche tap water is already…
Go into a bar/cafe, and stand at the counter. They serve coffee quickly, and for less money than sitting at a table. You will find this is how most Parisian's drink coffee. You will be in and out of the place in no time at all. Yes, you can get take-away but it is quite rare to see people strolling along with a big cup of coffee - that is quite a US thing. Sitting at a terrace is popular for tourists and for locals who want to linger and read the paper, thus service is relaxed and slower, stand at the bar for a quick coffee.
Coffee quality? Depends entirely on your taste (I don't mind it). Lots of countries with far worse coffee (i.e. the majority of the US), a few countries with far better coffee (i.e. Italy). What is indisputable is the milky drink that masquerades as coffee in most US/UK chains doesn't resemble French coffee.
re: souphie
Yep. The coffee in a beaker thing has become generalised - you'll often see neigbouring shopkeepers or workers buying coffee like this.
BTW, judging from your posts and requests (street food etc). you may like to check out the rue du Faubourg St Denis area between the Porte St Denis and the Boulevard de Magenta...There's even Lanni, a coffee brulerie at about number 54 on the street where they do GOOD coffee and cafe gourmand to go.
re: vielleanglaise
"Yep. The coffee in a beaker thing has become generalised - you'll often see neighbouring shopkeepers or workers buying coffee like this." That does surprise me, I know my office and my clients offices had coffee bars or free Nespresso style machines where workers would congregate (often close to an open air area for the smokers) and chat usually as the first activity of a working day.
I agree shopkeepers etc do get takeaways, and stand at airports etc serve coffee in disposable cups. But IMO it is rare to see people scurrying back and forth to offices with take-away coffee. I would say is is an exception rather than the norm - stopping for coffee is still as much about the social interaction as it is about consuming coffee.
re: vielleanglaise
Similarly 20 years ago there were few take-aways in London, Costa, Nero, Starbucks etc. had colonised the high street. Compare and contrast the changes over the last twenty years between Paris and London, yes take-away is more prevalent than it was in Paris but still nothing like the coffee "culture" (that is tricky to write!) in the UK.
For my taste the average French coffee is preferable to much that is available on the high street in both the US and UK.
I am also quite intrigued that people can drink coffee all day; more than two or three cups of decent coffee gives me a caffeine rush. That aid I live in Sydney where good coffee is a religion.
re: PBSF
At the cafes we frequent each coffee is ground and brewed to order. We all have our preferences in terms which coffee beans we like best; it is true that you don't have a choice at most places. Also, the Columbus Cafes in the seventh have a few chairs and tables; very basic however.
You're on vacation...are you in such a hurry that you can't take 10 minutes for a cup of coffee?
I know, I know...it used to drive me nuts that people stared when I walked around with my big thermal mug full of coffee...but now, I really enjoy the chance to just stop for a few minutes and have a cup of coffee in a real china cup that doesn't have a sippy lid.
Try it...when in Rome, blah blah blah
re: sunshine842
Yes, I hear that. And I am aware of the cultural dynamic at play here. The issue is more that I am a coffee fiend. I drink it almost continuously throughout the day, whether at work, at home, on vacation. So as someone who is also trying to see the sights, as it were, it is not ideal for me to sit down, get table service, etc. every time I need a cup. (Further complicating this is that I'm a New Yorker who is used to very high-end coffee).
I appreciate the spirit of what you're saying both here and in response to my "street food" questions. And I certainly am building in time for more leisurely, quintessentially French dining experiences. But there comes a time when a man wants a quick (but houndworthy) sandwich and a good cup of coffee to take on the road while getting his bearings in an immense foreign city.
re: bennyt
I can relate and sitting down in a cafe few times a day can be a real budget buster. And sadly as someone stated, the coffee is nothing special.
re: PBSF
Coffee in a cafe is significantly cheaper than going to Starbuck's (about 2 euros at any ordinary cafe in the city, versus -- and I'm not kidding -- 5-7 euros at Starbucks)...stand inside at the counter/bar if you want to save a little more. Horses for courses, I guess...I'd rather drink a cup of Cafe Richard, Illy, etc., than 95% of the coffee sold in the US...and that includes anything made from the charred bits of nasty that they call beans at Starbucks.
re: sunshine842
I am not advocating Starbuck or such, only that I drink a lot of coffee. I know when I sit down at a cafe and order a cafe creme, it is not cheap (and coffee is not cheap where I live in San Francisco). When I am in Paris, I try to limit myself to one sit down a day, otherwise, it is either standup or at my apartment. For me, coffee in Paris is not for taste but the cafferine and for resting/people watching.
re: PBSF
A creme shouldn't cost more than 2E in most places in Paris...2,50 tops...that's about $2.50-$3 at current exchange rates..and that's the upper range. There's always the outliers like Fouquets on the Champs Elysees that manage to zing you 8 euros for a stupid cup of coffee...but since the menus (even for drinks) have to be posted, it's not as though you're going to get blindsided. There's no discount for getting it to go...you pay the standup bar price whether you have a china cup, a paper gobelet, or you lay your head on the bar and have them dispense it right down your throat....
You'll get it a little cheaper if you stand at the bar for a few minutes...only a little more if you sit at a table inside...the highest price is outside on the sidewalk. (called renting the view!)
Decent coffee isn't ever cheap...I think it's 1,75 at McDonald's...but even they don't give you a paper cup!
re: bennyt
The best way to explore a new country is to live by the local rules rather than try to import your rules. You will always be disappointed that they don't do X the way they do at home. On the other hand, you might find that the locals have some tricks that you've never experienced. Otherwise, you might as well use google street view and walk around Paris that way.
If anyone is interested, aside from Gocce di Caffe, there are two excellent coffee places in Paris: Café Malongo on rue Saint-André-des-Arts and Brûlerie San José on rue des Petits-Champs.
Verlet is one of the renowned brûleries in Paris but the last time I was there the coffee was barely drinkable.
re: Ptipois
What she says, but I'd add that, even in good places, there never is coffee certainty in Paris. Don't know why.
re: souphie
I can't agree more that the consistency even at the good places is not there. I like Brulerie San Jose and even there, it is not certainly of a good cup.
re: Ptipois
Just go more.
re: souphie
re: Delucacheesemonger
re: souphie
Just go to Starbucks more, it's always the same.
re: Ptipois
and is guaranteed to make you appreciate whatever cafe des chaussettes you find anywhere else in the city.
re: sunshine842
Right. (The correct expression is "jus de chaussette".)
But I love "café des chaussettes" and I'm not sure I won't borrow it.
coffee is more a social thing than a "gourmet" thing in Paris.
I've never had bad coffee in Paris, but I'm not a purist.
Like other wrote, get in a café go to the counter, ask for a "express" and drink it right there; don't bother asking to take out, IMO,it's a waste of good paper cup, and anyway it's not like they gonna serve you a "'Machiato with a double shot with soy latte and chocolate chip" that needs a bucket to serve.
There was a neat place on the quai de l'Hotel de Ville that made specialty Italian coffees, last time I walked by I didn't see it.
There's an Illy place near the opera, rue Scribe maybe, that I think is still there.
It seems to me that you are looking for straight brewed coffee as opposed to espresso type coffee?
And you want to be able to take it away a paper cup of 8-12-16 ounces?
Seriously, the only place other than Starbucks that comes readily to mind is McDonalds.
As far as the Marais specifically, others have mentioned a couple of possibilities, but I think this was answering the question where is good espresso to be found, not good brewed coffee.
Am not a big coffee guy, but what does the board think of the Nespresso places? They have not been mentioned and l wonder. The one in Ny on 65th and Madison with big sofas and tables in the window were my go to spot for meetings. They were so welcoming, but now l wonder about the coffee. The one here near Le Bon Marche is always very crowded.
re: Delucacheesemonger
Very good point. I loath Nespresso for so many reasons, and would applaud if it were wiped from the face of the planet, but like Nuremberg, Xanadu, Red Square their flagship store on the Champs Elysees is a truly amazing place.
re: vielleanglaise
This is slightly OT but I've always been curious to know if Nespresso machines allow you to reduce the amount of water so you get real (a la Napoli) espresso.
re: John Talbott
Yes. For the manual models, one can pull as short (or as long) as one wants on the fly. For programmables, there is a way to adjust the length of shots.
re: Delucacheesemonger
DCM - Is it crowded with drinkers or with people stocking up on their pods? When I used to buy coffeee there I always thought the coffee area was a "try before you buy" area rather than a cafe (but this was few years ago).
I am also not a great fan of the Nespresso coffee, however I am usually pleased when I find a machine in a rental apartment as it is a notch up on a cafetiere (I have never been blessed with rental that has a real machine and proper grinder).
re: Delucacheesemonger
DCM- Nespresso's coffee really doesn't respond to the OP, at least as I understand his request.
Nespresso machines make espresso-style coffee. A lungo Nespresso capsule only makes about 4 ounces of coffee, and it is created through a different kind of pressure system than a drip, filter or low-tech press.
For someone looking for a "big cup of coffee", one would need several Nespresso capsules. For a separate discussion of what people on the France board think about Nespresso coffee, I would suggest a separate post. Unfortunately, I think it would then be moved to Cookware or some other non-region specific location.
re: Delucacheesemonger
The coffee bar at the Nespresso shop near Bon Marche markets itself as "try before you buy" but they charge for the coffee. The line out their door always amazes me. I think their popularity is dued to their marketing, slick design, ease of use and a couple of low priced models. The resulting cup is weak and nothing to speak of. Their lungo capsule that makes a big cup is a joke. A Parisien friend has one and loves it. She can have her after dinner coffee fix at home. There are better capsule/pod machines such as the new Illy but they are more expensive.
re: PBSF
I have the model that automatically steams the milk and everything -- I love it -- a very good cup of coffee with no putzing around grinding the beans, tamping it out....just hit the button and you get a very good espresso with very nice crema, a "regular" French-sized coffee again with a very nice crema...and it makes a darned good cappucino/latte. The absolute best of the best? No. But the best available in 60 seconds or less with no faffing around and no mess to clean up? You betcha.
I agree, though...it stinks at Americano. That's what the drip machine on the other end of the counter is for.
I usually shop at the store at l'Opera (it's on my way for several errands....) - they don't sell coffee at the coffee bar, but will give you a cup if you're a Nespresso club member. It is a good way to taste all their new blends before you buy. But the place is always, ALWAYS slammed. I'm leaning heavily toward just ordering online because I spend an hour just waiting in line.
I was reading a 'Paris" blog and came upon this...http://www.secretsofparis.com/heather..., does it help? It mentions Columbus Coffee or something like that. Perhaps it is what you are looking for.
I'm amazed that this topic always brings out nay sayers calling Parisian coffee "awful". If you live in the US, it just is NOT awful, it's terrific! It's strong, it's made in the italian-made commercial machines, and you drink out of a ceramic cup! (Cars in Europe do NOT have coffee holders! :) )
Starbucks in Paris??? Ewwww! Why, they don't even allow dogs!
re: menton1
Menton, I love you babes, but the vote is totally against you considering espressos/espressi. Italy 100, USA 30, France nul.
re: John Talbott
I agree Italy is usually good (although my office coffee bar whilst popular wasn't) but I think it is a stretch to put the US above Paris/France. I hear you can get good coffee if you search hard and travel in the US, but you can in Paris as well, and as it is a small city you don't need to travel far. I would argue fairly strongly that I prefer French coffee over US coffee, but that is my personal preference i.e. I don't like volume, nor do I like long milky drinks.
re: menton1
There is a limit beyond which a cupful of acrid, acidic, overburnt donkey piss which drills holes in your stomach cannot honestly be described as terrific, and that is precisely what 90 percent of Parisian coffee tastes like.
Italian-made commercial machines are worth nothing if they're not cleaned and checked regularly - a French press will always produce better coffee than a sloppily-maintained espresso machine. Strong is OK, too strong is too strong. Ceramic cups are, well, ceramic cups, the important thing is what you pour into them. And, above all, exceedingly roasted robusta beans have the exact taste of what they are and of the cruel additional treatments they have undergone (hard water, chlorinated water, sometimes both together). Some boiling (not hot) water sent through that and you've got Parisian coffee. There is no mystery about why it is so bad. It is perfectly explainable and well documented (in French, since Parisians do know that their coffee is terrlble but they drink it all the same). The use of over-roasted robusta beans is already enough to do the damage.
re: Ptipois
"robusta beans"
Pti: I've always wondered why here (except for the cost) robusta conquers arabica, etc?
re: John Talbott
That's very simple - a historical commercial connection with the former French colonies of West Africa, where robusta is grown in plantations that were started by French colons long ago. Most of the coffee served in French cafés is obtained from those regions, at a low price. It might also be recalled that the superior quality of Italian coffee owes something to the historical connection with Ethiopia, and so on. To make the matter worse, robusta - which is not automatically synonymous with bad coffee - is traditionally overroasted in France, which develops its more assertive, bitter taste.
A famous coffee vendor once told me another reason why the French café culture remained stuck on robusta: the bean, especially when brewed at high heat in an espresso machine, produces a denser foam than arabica, and more of it. For the French public, lots of thick foam = coffee as it should be (even if it tastes foul). Hence the fixation on robusta. Also robusta contains far more caffeine than arabica and is preferred for morning coffee, for the 'coup de fouet' at the beginning of a working day.
Pure arabica coffee is now more common in France, but in cafés they generally apply to it the same treatment that they apply to robusta and they manage to make it come out just as bad. In such a way that the name of the brand or vendor becomes irrelevant. The same Richard arabica cup will taste entirely different whether it is served at a decent restaurant or bistrot where minimal attention is paid to coffee-making or at a corner troquet where the coffee machine receives less care than a 1950s Albanian tractor. So in the end robusta is only partly the culprit. Half of the responsibility is, well, the way the French treat coffee in general.
The secret at the core of all that is that the French do not mind bad coffee. I even believe they delight in bad coffee. They believe that's how it should taste.
re: menton1
For Menton,
Your attitude about US coffee is about 15 years late, at least in the "Blue States."
re: Ptipois
Maybe 'good' is in the eye of the beholder and your 'style' of coffee tends after the American vs. the French style. For me, l rarely drink coffee in states, but here cheat and have it a few times a week. Cheat in the sense that caffeine works on me with a vengeance thus avoid it most times.
re: Delucacheesemonger
I suspect DCM is right. As a non-US person my taste may be quite different, I find US coffee to be quite bland (a generalisation I know and I admit have not tried the top specialists).
I like a strong, robust coffee, here in Sydney our coffee is probably more Italian than in Italy (nearly 100% espresso in all cafes and bars). Possibly more like the French than the US. So maybe that is why it appeals to my taste. it isn't perfect, but equally not as dire as many other countries.
re: PhilD
I've probably told this story too many times but when going to Milan I flew into Lugano and had to kill time at the train station (about a km from the Italian border); I approached the barista and asked did he make his espresso Italian or Swiss style - he looked horrified and insisted - Italian Signore; then I sat down. And had two. After a week in Geneva they were heavenly.
re: John Talbott
Only think worse than coffee in Geneva is the bread: the worst renditions of Portuguese breads. I used to have to go to France and bring my staff pains chocolate made from a mix, and it was better.
Sorry, more thread hijack.
re: Delucacheesemonger
"Good is in the eye of the beholder" would be a convenient explanation, unfortunately it also tends to invalidate another person's expertise, especially after I've shed a ray of light on the historical roots of 'French-style' coffee. I can tell good coffee when it hits me in the face, for instance in Italy, Southeast Asia, etc. We French do a lot of things right, we don't make coffee right, that's OK with me, we don't have to be the best at everything after all.
It should be stressed that America has a special relationship with coffee. Very different from the French one, with no Robusta tradition sticking to it. I am not referring to the average cup o'Joe, when North Americans really care for coffee they tend to make it particularly well, and IMO make some of the best coffee on Earth. Also, the true (and most infuriating BTW) coffee freaks tend to be located in the US (especially in the West).
I have come to believe (and I am French, believe me I have had all sorts of French coffee, including the most dreadful one that few of you people have ever tasted — drip-style office coffee, even worse than troquet cups) that many countries have a style for coffee: Italy, Holland, Sweden, the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cameroon, Morocco (ever had 'café pois-chiche'?), and many more, but there is no such thing as a French style for coffee. Aside from the case when coffee is made right (and then it is made the Italian, Vietnamese, Turkish, etc., way) all I've experienced is mishandling, and you can't label mishandling as 'style'. See above my analysis of the average donkey piss and the little-known cultural trait of robusta preference.
Which does not mean that some people in France do not handle it right, especially when they care, but the exception is rare enough to remain an exception. Again, the basic idea is that very few people care.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. — The man accused of killing three people at a home in southeast Wichita earlier this week has been formally charged.
Vinh Van Nguyen, 41, appeared in court via jail video feed Friday afternoon in connection to murder of three people at a home in the 2200 block of South Beech just after midnight Tuesday.
Nguyen is accused of killing his girlfriend, 45-year-old Tuyet Huynh, along with her daughter, 20-year-old Trinh Pham, and son-in-law, 21-year-old Sean Pham.
During the court hearing, Nguyen was charged with capital murder, or in the alternative, three counts of first degree murder. The judge appointed the death penalty defense unit to represent Nguyen, but prosecutors have not announced if they will seek the death penalty.
Because of a language barrier, an attorney is set to meet with Nguyen early next week to help him better understand the charges he's facing.
Bond is set at $2 million. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 10.
Previous story - Tuesday, June 24, 2014:
Three people are dead following an early morning shooting in southeast Wichita.
Shortly after midnight Tuesday, a woman called 911 from the basement of a home in the 2200 block of South Beech saying someone was shooting a gun upstairs.
When officers arrived minutes later, they surrounded the home. They approached, looking in the windows, and saw two people lying on the floor in different parts of the home.
Officers then forced entry and found a man in the master bedroom next to the body of a woman. He was taken into custody.
Another body was found in the hallway of the ground floor.
When officers entered the basement, they found the body of a 20-year-old woman. Her five-month-old son was found unharmed next to her. Police say she called 911 before she was shot.
The suspect, 41-year-old Vinh Van Nguyen, was taken in for questioning then booked for capital murder. Police recovered one weapon at the scene.
Police identified the woman found dead in the bedroom as 45-year-old Tuyet Huynh, the homeowner. Officers describe the man who was arrested as Huynh's boyfriend.
Her daughter, who was found dead in the basement, was identified as 20-year-old Trinh Pham. The third victim, who was found in the hallway, was Pham's husband, 21-year-old Sean Pham.
Police say the suspect and the victims all lived at the home. Huynh also had another child who lived there, but that she was out of town with other family. The five-month-old boy is now under the care of other family members.
Police said there were no previous cases involving domestic violence or any other criminal activity at that residence.
Formal charges against Nguyen could be filed later this week. His bond is set at $2 million.
A fund has been set up to help the family with funeral and other expenses. For more information or to donate, click here.
There have been 14 homicides in Wichita so far this year. There were 17 homicides last year.

Issues in Australian Heritage
|Course code HIST6051
|Units 10
|Level 6000
|Faculty of Education and ArtsSchool of Humanities and Social Science
Introduces the field of heritage to postgraduate students in Australian Studies. Using paper-based, email supported distance teaching mode, this course will encourage students to engage with the heritage industry in a critical fashion. Heritage is the most popular form of history, but it is also a field which creates intense conflict between government authorities, property owners, community members and would-be developers. We will consider whose past is represented by heritage, and its costs and benefits. Drawing on the ideas of advocates and critics of heritage, students will mount their own case studies of Australian heritage and develop insights into the workings of the industry and its impact on Australian society.
Not available in 2015
|This course will prepare students to engage critically with heritage as it is produced in contemporary Australia.
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
1. Apply critical analytical tools to representations of the past in heritage sites and other heritage products
2. Identify the legislative and institutional framework within which the Australian heritage industry operates
3. Actively contribute to the process of identification and management of Australia's heritage
|This course will investigate:
1. The parameters of heritage: Natural, Indigenous, European
2. The international origins of the heritage movement
3. Attitudes to the past in Australia
4. The growth of local history, antiquarian and architectural associations
5. Residents Action Groups and Green Bans
6. Government intervention and cooption of heritage
7. The institutionalisation of heritage
8. Indigenous Peoples and the concept and operation of heritage
9. Case studies of specific Australian heritage sites
