Matejka 2014 Lannan Fellow
"Where there's smoke, there's fire."
And the author of The Big Smoke remains on fire. Last week, Adrian Matejka was a finalist for the 2014 Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Award in Poetry (kudos to Amaud Jamal Johnson who won for his collection,
Darktown Follies
). This week, he raised the bar again, when he received the 2014 Lannan Literary Fellowship for Poetry:
Lannan Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to cultural freedom, diversity and creativity through projects which support exceptional contemporary artists and writers, as well as inspired Native activists in rural indigenous communities.
The Foundation recognizes the profound and often unquantifiable value of the creative process and is willing to take risks and make substantial investments in ambitious and experimental thinking.
The Foundation also gives awards and fellowships to
writers of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction
and in the area of
cultural freedom
. Awards recognize individuals for extraordinary work in their fields.
Upadhyay's latest novel, The City Son, "not for the faint of heart"
Samrat Upadhyay's latest novel,
The City Son
has just been released by independent New York publisher, Soho Press, and is already garnering significant attention. The Wall Street Journal review notes
"There's an eerie element of black magic in Didi's Svengali-like manipulation that evokes the domestic horror novels of Shirley Jackson. This superb book stages an intensely powerful showdown.
The Big Smoke short-listed for Pulitzer
Adrian Matejkas The Big Smoke earned yet another significant accolade last week, when it was announced as a
finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry
, one of Americas foremost literary awards. A distinguished three-person panel (this years panel consisted of a poet, an editor, and a critic) select, each year, three books of poetry, from whom the 18-person Pulitzer Board selects one as the annual award recipient; to have emerged as one of only three finalists from the hundreds of nominated books is a tremendous honor. You can read an interview about the process with one of this years selectors
In a recent interview, Adrian said of the recent honors garnered by The Big Smoke: These recognitions are wonderful affirmations for The Big Smoke and Jack Johnsons story . . . in many ways, each of those accolades points back to Johnson, as it should, since I wrote the book trying to bring his story into the contemporary dialogue of race and politics. Its humbling and extraordinary at the same time. Read the full interview
There are times for humility and times for justifiable pride; this is one of the latter times, and all of us at Indiana offer our heartfelt congratulations to Adrian for his achievement.
"Townsends writing full of fresh turns of phrase and keen insights"
The headline above is taken from a review by Ayana Mathis in the most recent Sunday Review of Books from the New York Times. Congratulations, Jacinda, on this positive notice of your "compelling debut."

Matejka wins Guggenheim Fellowship
Poet Adrian Matejkas Annus Mirabilis keeps rolling along, as he has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for 2014-15. The Guggenheim is a prestigious fellowship awarded to men and women who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts. Congratulations to Adrian; this accolade is first and foremost an individual honor, but it also reflects well on the Creative Writing Program and on the English Department as a whole. Adrians most recent honor continues an especially strong recent run of success by the English Department, and by our poets in particular: three years ago, poet Maurice Manning and scholar George Hutchinson were each awarded fellowships; and just last year poet Ross Gay and scholar Rob Fulk were each awarded fellowships. Congratulations, Adrian, on another well-deserved honor.
Matejka wins 2014 Anisfield-Wolf Award
Congratulations once again to Adrian Matejka for more honors garnered by
The Big Smoke
Last fall, the book was short-listed for a National Book Award; today it was announced as one of the winners of this years Anisfield-Wolf Award, presented each year since 1935 by the Cleveland Public Library to celebrate "books that have made important contributions to our understanding of racism and human diversity." This is arguably the countrys foremost literary award specifically keyed to works that highlight issues of social justice. Among the many distinguished winners recognized for individual titles, Adrian joins such figures as Zora Neale Hurston, John Hersey, Langston Hughes, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Gwendolyn Brooks, Maxine Hong Kingston, Wole Soyinka, Toni Morrison, Nadine Gordimer, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Sandra Cisneros, Jamaica Kincaid, and more recently, Junot Diaz, who will visit here next week. Since 1996, the awards jury has been chaired by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who described Adrians book as a collection of poems on the myth and unapologetic masculinity of the first African-American heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson."

Poet Adrian Matejka has been named a semi-finalist for a National Book Award
Poet Adrian Matejka has been named a semi-finalist for a National Book Award, the National Book Foundation announced last week. His latest book of poems, "The Big Smoke," is about the life of boxer Jack Johnson. This year, for the first time, the National Book Foundation began a practice of releasing a long list of ten nominees that will be pared to a short list of five next month, with the winner being named in November. The National Book Foundation's mission is to celebrate the best of American literature, to expand its audience, and to enhance the cultural value of good writing in America. Inclusion on the long list is a significant honor, involving selection from a list of roughly 200 nominated poets. Lets wish Adrian well for the next month or so, as the tension mounts, along (no doubt) with reading invitations. Congratulations and good luck, Adrian.
The National Book Award is one of the nation's most prestigious literary prizes and has a stellar record of identifying and rewarding quality writing. In 1950, William Carlos Williams was the first Winner in Poetry, the following year William Faulkner was honored in Fiction, and so on through the years. Many previous Winners of a National Book Award are now firmly established in the canon of American literature, such as Sherman Alexie, Louise Erdrich, Jonathan Franzen, Denis Johnson, Joyce Carol Oates, and Adrienne Rich.
Tony Ardizzone Retires
After twenty-five years here at Indiana University, Chancellors Professor of English Tony Ardizzone has retired. Tony came to our program in 1987 from Old Dominion University, and after arriving he became a principal force in molding the creative program into one of the highest ranking MFA programs in the nation. His commitment to excellence in teaching, in innovative curricular development, and to diversity were all hallmarks of his time at IU. Over the course of his distinguished career he has earned many accolades and awards including the Flannery OConner Award for Short Fiction and a Pushcart Prize, but none have been more important to his department than the frequent recognition he has received for outstanding teaching, most recently the 2012 Trustees Award for Outstanding Teaching, the most significant recognition that teaching receives on our campus. We will miss Tony, and we wish him well as he opens a new chapter in his life in the Pacific northwest.

By closing myself off from any possible attachment, I'm making myself incapable of finding love.
As smart phones are meant to help connect us to people from all over town and all over the world, I think it's ironic that they also help us disconnect from people close to us.
Sometimes I'll see my friends look at their phone after receiving a text message from their significant other, and it seems like they're trying to see how fast they can ruin their relationship by misinterpreting a text message.
Observing a group of benign donkeys teaches us some important things about patience, endurance, serenity and flexibility.
Every meal, every outfit, every emotion – nothing is off-limits when it comes to being an oversharer.
I do have memories of when I was little and didn't speak at all, and all my memories were heavily visual and olfactory.
We speak indirectly, always and necessarily, our words at some angle to our sentiment, action, desire, will — even to our needs!
I cannot disguise my disgust and contempt for the idea that honesty is the overall best strategy. Many people use some iteration of this idea, and attempt to blame the other person if they do not take it constructively.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
You know who you shouldn't tell you're homesick to? An international student.

Question: Why is Law & Order: CI replacing Jamey Sheridan?
Answer: Because his wife and children live in Los Angeles and his weekly commute to New York finally took its toll. In other L&O news, the overhaul at the mothership continues. Late yesterday, a rep for Dennis Farina announced that the actor was leaving the show to pursue "other offers and projects."

It's a damn good thing the Deathray Davies rock the way they do; otherwise, they would be eclipsed by their own side project, and we'd have to say the phrase "Sparklepussy Barbie" all the time. As in, "Hey, didja see Sparklepussy Barbie last night?" and, "Bye, Mom! I'm off to see Sparklepussy Barbie!"
Not that that would really be a bad thing—after all, SP (which really only has about half of Deathray as members) rip the Bauhaus synth and skuzzy, distorted New Wave vocals better than anyone, with tongue planted in '80s cheek, while simultaneously sounding out the melodies of '80s chic.

Sheffield Park and Garden (NT), Sheffield Park, Uckfield, East Sussex, TN22 3QX
One of the most prominent landmarks in the landscape garden is the Pulham Falls, which were commissioned by the 3rd Earl of Sheffield between 1882 and 1885. Installed by Pulham & Son, renowned Victorian landscape architects, the falls are still in good working order today. Normally only in full flow for short periods twice a week, they will be in full operation all day on the 13th. Out on the parkland our WWII pillbox, usually closed to visitors, will be open all day. You will be able to see inside this well-preserved feature, which dates back to the period during WWII when a Canadian Armoured Division was stationed at Sheffield Park. Traces of their time inside the pillbox can be seen in the graffiti carved or written on the walls. Sheffield Park and Garden is very family friendly and has plenty of family facilities such as a natural woodland play trail, baby changing in the main toilets and tearoom, children's snack bags and hot meals, picnic areas, buggy hire, a bottle warmer and microwave in the tearoom.
This event took place in September 2014 and the entry is now archived.
The Pulham Falls are located in the garden and is accessible by wheelchair and mobility scooter. The WWII pillbox is located in our parkland, which is semi-rough terrain and may not be suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. Weather appropriate clothing and footwear is advisable.
The historic parkland forms a larger footprint for the Sheffield Park estate dating back several centuries. It has had many uses including a deer park and WW2 camp but is now grazed with livestock. The flood meadow runs across the bottom of the parkland and the original meanders of the River Ouse are still visible winding across the field. The area is teaming with wildlife including birds of prey, kingfishers, butterflies and dragonflies.
By Car: We are located midway between East Grinstead and Lewes, 5 miles north-west of Uckfield, on the east side of A275 (between A272 and A22). If approaching north-bound from Lewes, we are just past the Bluebell Railway, over the River Ouse bridge on the right. Coming south-bound from the A22 Wych Cross, follow the brown signs for Sheffield Park Garden and the Bluebell Railway. By bus: Saturdays - 121 service service from Lewes via Bluebell Railway Sheffield Park station. Sundays - 769 service from Brighton via Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and Bluebell Railway Sheffield Park station. By Train: Sheffield Park (Bluebell Railway) ¾ mile; Uckfield 6 miles; Haywards Heath 7 miles Parking: Parking is free and we have accessible parking available.

from ScienceNOW Daily News
Only one person ever has been cured of an HIV infection, and a presentation about the man at a scientific meeting in Sitges, Spain, last week has caused an uproar about the possibility that he's still infected.
Timothy Brown, initially referred to as "the Berlin patient" until he went public about his cure, received unusual blood transplants 5 years ago to treat his leukemia. The blood came from a donor who had mutant cells resistant to HIV. Following the procedure, Brown stopped taking antiretrovirals (ARVs), the virus never returned, and his doctors reported that he had been cured.
But new research presented on 8 June at the International Workshop on HIV & Hepatitis Virus "challenge[s] these results," asserts Alain Lafeuillade of the General Hospital in Toulon, France, a well known HIV/AIDS cure researcher. Lafeuillade issued a press release, "The So Called HIV Cured 'Berlin' Patient Still Has Detectable HIV in His Body," that questions whether Brown was reinfected and may still be infectious to other people. Lafeuillade also posted a blog item, "The Weird Story of the Berlin Patient," raising similar questions.

Obamacare Works and I Told You So: Opinion
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Back in October I predicted the glitches with the Obama administration's Healthcare.gov Web site would get fixed and people would flock to affordable insurance.
The right called me a Commie. Heh, heh, heh
The White House said Monday that seven million people had signed up for health insurance through the site, as part of the Affordable Care Act. Seven million people is a lot. By the end of this week, when it becomes more clear seven million people bought private health insurance through the site and maybe 17 million have acquired coverage through all parts of the law put together, you will hear that this is a failure, that 17 million people is not a lot, that it is all media hype.
It won't be true.
If 17 million people lived in a state, its population would be the fifth-largest in America, bigger than Illinois, or about the total of 14 states plus Washington, D.C.
There's a point in there about health care, but a more important point about how political discussion is distorted by partisanship to the point where ACA opponents in particular simply couldn't believe anyone on the other side was even looking at facts.
Blumer and I struck up a more-or-less civil email correspondence. The point he stubbornly, repeatedly refused to grasp was my point about Healthcare.gov had nothing to do with health care policy, let alone politics. That was his game, and it didn't occur to him that I was playing a different one -- not even when I explained it.

Somewhere you go to again and again (London)
- loobcom Nov 26, 2008 09:51 AM
Whether this means that I am lazy or unadventurous, I do not know, but I find myself eating at the same places virtually every week and then fitting other newer places around those favourites.
Hardly a week goes by, for instance, when I do not pay a visit to The Lahore or Tayyabs. Then I have to have my fix of Turkish Kebabs for which I will travel up Kingsland Road and perhaps as far as Stoke Newington. I also eat at least once a week in the local Vietnamese places.
Does your eating follow a similar pattern? Are there places that you have on weekly rotation?
I find in London that I eat out locally (ie walking distance from home or office) 80% of the time as the city is not the cheapest or fastest to navigate. Though I was much more adventurous prior to our daughter being born 15 months ago. That said I/we still eat out a few times a week.
In the last few months I've been frequenting the Oak (wifes fave at the mo), Lucky 7, all the Mexicans in NH, E&O, Thai Rice, Saki, Inaho, Mediterraneo and sister Italians on Ken Park, Vinoteca and Hawksmoor.
You can probably figure out where I work and live. We go out of our way probably once/twice a month. Would love to add a good chinese to my routine but have found nothing good in walking or delivery distance.
I think it's nice to have regular places. I find myself going back to Vinoteca, Pham Sushi, the Prince Bonaparte, my local Indian place and Raoul's time after time. It doesn't help my food blog out but for the sake of convenience and certain tried and tested dishes that you just crave it can't be helped.
Fernandez & Wells in Soho. Not weekly, but at least once a month.
Also, on Brick Lane on Sundays, there are these Japanese ladies who do chicken katsu for 4 quid. I usually get that at least once a month too. (It's not a storefront...on Sundays, they are just south of the entrance to the Sunday Upmarket on Brick Lane.)
Very similar story here. I got to Mirch Masala almost weekly and Hawksmoor when I want a steak. Neither has ever let me down.
Ten Ten Tei on Brewer Street for their chirashi and nasu dengaku...yummmmmmm
202 cafe on Westbourne Grove for brunch - kobe beef burger
Princess Garden for dim-sum
Chamomile in Belsize Park for breakfast
It goes without saying that I practically live at Thattukada, but I also go to Italia Uno, Franco Manca, and Gram Bangla very regularly. While Gram Bangla has fallen into a distant fourth among them (only because I live, work, and study so far away from it this year), I still get in at least one visit a month. I try to do Franco Manca every Tuesday when I do my shopping in Brixton and I'm at Italia Uno almost daily (whether its just for coffee or its actually for the whole sandwich, drink, dessert thing.) I've been doing Thattukada religiously though with as many as 3 trips a week. Mixing it up with cooking has actually LOWERED the amount I spend per week on groceries (some of the stuff is that cheap. The veg thali fills me to the rims for 3.80 and comes with unlimited refills of pretty much everything. Or at least it does for me.)
Where do you go to for Turkish kebabs these days? Testi? Your meat destinations post was excellent. Oh yeah, I also end up at either Kebabish on Green St or Beigel Bake on Brick Lane after midnight at least twice a month. Hell, more.
re: JFores
JFores, have you tried the beigels at Rinkoffs in Vallance Road E1. I think they are way better than anything else in the East End.
re: loobcom
No I haven't, but I'll definitely have to when I get back. I always brush off the quality of Beigel Bake and revel in the fact that I'm eating food at 4am that I didn't cook and that isn't going to get me sick.
re: JFores
Beigel Bake is great - smoked salmon and cream cheese and a squeeze of lemon. Tasty and only £1.60!
Cyprus Mangal at 45 Warwick in Pimlico is a great Turkish place that is cheap and the food is fresh and delicious.
Also in Pimlico on Tachbrook is Gastronomica which is an Italian casual place for a coffee, meal or to buy cheese, meat and wine. Very cool place.
I'm looking for a great Indian place in that neighborhood that is reasonably priced. Millbank Spice is horrible.
re: ctkathy
I frequent Malaysia KopI Tiam on Charing Cross road and Kiasu in Queensway .
Love Kastoori in tooting - tomato curry.
Viet cafe in soho and all the vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland road.
Yelo on hoxton square.
re: bleep75
bleep, what dishes have you tried at Malaysia Kopi tiam? I on the look out for fab malaysian restuarants and am always disappointed!
re: purplishrose
I've tried the roti canai - good roti / sauce ok but could do with more spice.
The hainanese chicken rice is really good with nice thickened soy and chilli and garlic dips - chicken not too scraggy and on the bone - very nice - good chickeny rice and nice broth.
The noodles are good too if a tad too normal - soya seems to be the main flavour.
re: bleep75
thanks bleep for the info!
re: purplishrose
There was a short thread on the place a little while ago if you want more detail:
re: Theresa
BTW, I've been to Malaysian Kopi Tiam a couple more times. Thought the nasi lemak was too one dimensional, lacked the coconut fragrance in the rice. Other components, such as the chilli, achar, ikan bilis (fried anchovies with peanuts) and chicken curry were pretty good.
Also had the bak kut teh, a broth with simmered pork ribs and various herbs, which I quite liked, even if it wasn't as robust as some of the versions back home. reasonable flavour in the broth, an ok amount of pork ribs, along with pork belly slices and intestines, shiitake mushrooms and importantly, pieces of you tiao (fried crullers) for dipping into the broth. Also liked the fact that they automatically brought some soy sauce with sliced chilli, which is de rigeur for this dish. Wished that the soy sauce was of the darker more intense variety, but perhaps that's a quibble.
re: limster
Limster, 4 years in London and finding proper, authentic singaporean/malaysian food remains a dream for me. I miss Bak kut teh terribly!
re: purplishrose
I'm a big fan of Banda Cafe, a tiny place in a basement around the corner from me (Spring Street W2). They are on speed dial for my take-out mee goreng.
My other regular would be Dim Sum @ Royal China.
re: purplishrose
Keep looking, purplishrose. I've been visiting London every year for the past 30 years, but have never found a S'pore/M'sian culinary nirvana yet. The closest to authentic Malay food I've found was in a low-brow canteen at Malaysian Students Dept (Malaysia Hall) in Bryanston Sq back in the 1970s/80s - you can check out their new location in 30-34 Queensborough Terrace, Bayswater. Haven't been to their new place, but I can guarantee you a real 100% authentic Malay meal, the cooks are always "makciks" flown over by the Malaysian Govt.
Singapore Garden was fabulous for their Hainanese chicken rice (especially in the mid-90s), although I haven't gone back for ages & don't think they served bak-kut-teh which you seeked anyway. Maybe you should touch bases with Maureen Suan-Neo, the very friendly Singaporean Nyonya-Chinese lady who runs Singapura in Blackfriars and ASAP in Holborn (she also authored the Secrets of Singapore-Nyonya Cookbook), to see if she'll put bak-kut-teh on her menu.
Bistrotheque in East London - great local (for me at least) restaurant - consistently good food with charming service and buzzy atmosphere - love it for brunch. Their steak tartare and bloody marys are the best!
Also Anatolia on Mare St for kebabs (lamb shish in a roll with garlic sauce).
Used to go to Canteen in Spitalfields a lot but have found it to be really disappointing the last few visits so it's off my list now.
re: relizabeth
Our neighborhood regulars:
- Hereford Road (our favorite London place - we go there at least once a month - which we'll miss enormously now that we're moving to the US)
- Goldmine (for char sui)
- Four Seasons (for roast duck)
- Mohsen/Patogh/Alounak (for Iranian food)
I don't follow a pattern I just go by ear really. The restaurants I always go to are:
Barrafina, in Soho whenever I want some excellent spanish food, they never disappoint and is always worth the long wait.
Gaucho, picadilly circus. Where else can you have mouth watering melting steak?
Mangosteen, carnaby street. Consistent quality always, inexpensive and full of flavour. Delightful.
Leon, oxford circus. Healthy fast food, although they deleted some dishes for their new winter menu which were firm favorites, what a pity. Not good for desserts, though.
Royal China, Baker Street. Just really really really high standard chinese food.
Villandry, great portland street, for brunch. I always go for their cheese burger. Yum.
Busaba Thai, the best branch is the one near Tottenham court road. I always always order their thai calamari, and pandan chicken. Absolutely fab. Don't go to the one near selfridges, the quality has been dropping for a couple months now, and portions seem to be getting smaller.
I've been going to Bar Du Marché on Berwick Street for steak frites for at least ten years. I went there on my first date with Mr GG and it's his favourite place - but more often than not he takes other people there as I want to try new places!
There's a new Italian place called St Francis near where I live in Brixton/Herne Hill which I've been to three times already and intend to go often. It's cheap and the standard of cooking is excellent, so I want to support them. They also give us free things, which is nice!
Also my local gastropub, the Prince Albert and Franco Manca in Brixton for pizza. Khan's on Brixton Water Lane for curry.
China town has a lot of rubbishy restaurants.
An excellent choice - and pretty much the only one I will go to is the
HK Diner
Address: 22 Wardour Street, W1V 3HD
Like other Chinese restaurants they have a Chinese menu as well as an English menu. The Chinese menu has the more interesting, authentic and cheaper dishes. I have as yet been unable to decipher it - I usually just point to what the other Chinese people are eating - and have never been disappointed. The quality is fantastic at any time of day or night. I often call in here at 3am post club!
The thing I always have is the BBQ pork and Crispy pork with rice (Char Siu and Siu Yo). Its not on the menu - just ask or it. The contrast between the crispy salty pork and the sweetish bbq pork as well as the rice is fantastic. I have yet to taste better.
I try new places all the time, but the failsafes for me are:
- Assa on St Giles High St for the marinated beef/pork and kimchi stew (hotpot) - pretty much what everyone else orders when there and is perfect for cold winter nights!
- Song Que on Kingsland Rd for rare beef pho. I've eaten at most Vietnamese places around London and this is truly one of the best. I also rated Cafe East's, but that's too far out for me to go to.
- HK Diner on Wardour St, for the roast duck hor fun. The duck is always pretty flavoursome, and really hits the spot.
- Rosa's near Brick Lane for Thai food. Love the curries (though suspect they use bicarb/soda water to tenderise the meat), the lamb satays are phenomenal and the som tham incredibly moreish.
- Busaba Eathai for the thom kha kai noodles... I always try to order something else but always go back to that. Love the galangal-fragrant coconut broth and tender chicken with the smokiness from the grill.
- Barrafina, hands down some of the best tapas and most consistently excellent restaurant in London. Grilled quail with aioli, lamb cutlets, tortilla and pimientos de padrons are my must-orders, with a chilled glass of fino or manzanilla sherry.
- Da Mario's on Endell St for an excellent seafood linguine and generous servings of prosciutto crudo with melon.
- Tomoe on Marylebone Lane for their maguro yamakake (raw tuna with grated mountain yam - yamaimo) - sadly portions have become smaller and prices have gone up, but I love that they serve yamaimo at all.
- Hazuki on Chandos Place or Yoisho on Goodge St for my ultimate vice, chicken karaage. Both places do perfectly marinated chicken with delightfully crisp exteriors. Yum.
re: supercharz
Rosa's and Busaba are nice but after sampling 101 Thai Kitchen in Hammersmith, I realised what I'd been missing.
Places I regularly go:
Hung's on Wardour St, for ngau lam ho fun in soup, or crispy belly pork and king prawn dumplings in noodle soup.
Masala Zone, for a decent thali.
Hawksmoor; their steaks are so good.
Tayabbs - their lamb chops are worth the queue.
Ten Ten Tei for sushi and sashimi
Jerk City, especially when hungover / just been paid.
Atari-Ya - recently discovered, will be back regularly though.
The Peninsula Restaurant in the Holiday Inn, North Greenwich - we go at least once every two months for dim sum brunches.
Always find myself going back to Paddyfield and getting amazing takeaway curry from the Holy Cow in Balham.
In Brixton am now hooked on Wild Caper (http://tinyurl.com/6n7u5o) and Franco Manca whenever I have the day off in Brixton during the week. I love Wild Caper's chunky pork and fennel sausages.
Also, have found that I am now a regular of Wahaca - great for having a casual dinner with friends you've not seen for ages or from out of town.
In terms of bars, there's one that used to be called LowLife on Paddington St / Baker Street that is now called This is a Bar. It's brilliant, especially when James is behind the bar.
The Golden Hind is a regular for fish on Fridays. It's brilliant. Especially with their BYO policy. Although we've recently started going to Tomoe for a healthier option.
And lastly in terms of sandwich shops, you'll have to go a long way to find a better regular sandwich shop than the Chiltern Rooms in Marylebone. Top place.
re: Browners
I think I need to try Paddyfield again, I wasn't too entralled when I went.
Wild Caper sausages are superb!

It could notify you when you're getting low on Cherrios or cans of soup and even re-order from the store for immediate pick-up or hold for more items.
It could take your blood pressure and blood oxygen content every time your sit down on the toilet with sensors in the seat.

Hi there
don't write this off so quick.
Have a look at the Windows 8 Forums.
The Windows 2 Go or windows on a stick seems a starting point for this type of stuff --AND it WORKS too.
The base install loads to your USB drive / usb stick -- and then when you boot from it (It;s a proper running Windows system -- not an "Install" type of operation -- it will find and initialize hardware as far as it can on ANY computer.
I've used this stuff on at least 4 or 5 totally different machines and it's worked EVERY time.
Windows 8 To Go - Setup on a USB Flash Drive or USB Disk - Windows 8 Forums
OK slightly different application but you should be able to get the idea. A Generic OS could control 1000's of devices.
You need to "extrapolate" a bit beyond what the OS delivers today and what it *Could deliver* in the future.

Merits of Staten Island Home Inspections to home buyers
If you would like to learn more about our Staten Island home inspections, please give us a call and we will be happy to help you (718) 305-4834
At the moment, there are millions of real estate transactions which happened on a daily basis. This being the case, is ever you are interested in buying any Staten Island property or simply are looking to purchase a new house, it is imperative that you get to take precautionary measures and ensure that you are safe from all the fraudulent activities of the real estate industry especially if you are handling all your activities online such as paying for a house with several defects which may be compromising your comfort and safety.
One of the best ways of making sure that you engage in safe real estate transactions when looking to buy a new house is to hire an experienced Staten island Home Inspection Company. As the buyer of a new house, hiring an experienced home inspector serves as a guarantee to identify all the immediate as well as long term benefits of investing in whichever house interests you. What's more, it helps avoids different kinds of deal breakers which may have never been noticed or found out later on had the house / property never been checked.
An experienced home inspector will help make sure that the house is thoroughly inspected and that all potential deal breakers which are likely to set you off as a potential buyer are all identified and dealt with accordingly. As a result, being the buyer, you will find it much easier to negotiate a better deal from the already set asking price especially after going through the inspection report. Take note, as the buyer, you equally have all the rights to commission a home inspection in case you would like to familiarize yourself a bit with the house on sale or simply clarify your doubts if you have a feeling that there might be something wrong with the house/property put up for sale.
Apart from the above, as the buyer, you stand to benefit from commissioning a home inspection staten island in the sense that you will never regret having make a sizeable investment on something new since the inspection will help get rid of all the doubts which you may have of the property/ house in question. In short, since buying a new house is a big deal taking into consideration the fact that you get to invest a great deal of money, it is important to make sure that as the buyer you leave absolutely nothing to chance. The best way to do this is to commission a thorough home inspection by hiring an experienced home inspector.
Speaking of hiring an experienced home inspector, it is very important to do so since he / she serves as a guarantee to identify all key problematic areas of the house/property on sale which might later on result in extra costs, stress as a result compromising the comfort of the house which you may be interested in buying. What's more, once all of the defects have been pointed out, you will be able to engage whoever is selling the house in negotiations which might lead to you saving a significant amount of the purchase of the house not to mention assuming ownership of your dream house.
Another good thing about home inspections to you as a buyer is the fact that the final inspection report will most definitely provide you with or help you draw up an estimate of the total cost of repairs needed to get the house back to good condition that is assuming that the house has not yet been inspected at the time it has been listed for sale. This you can also use to your advantage when negotiating with the seller, that is assuming all the defects identify as a result of the inspection have not been dealt with at all.
Simply put, as the buyer, commissioning a thorough home inspection when looking to buy a new house serves as a guarantee to ensure the safety of the new house put up for sale which you may be interested in buying. It also serves as a guarantee for a discount off the set purchase price since the inspection report will provide you with reasons to negotiate the price down to the level of your purchasing power. In short, as a potential home buyer, a home inspection will help you completely get rid of any regrets or remorse of having to deal with any unknown problems which may be compromising the comfort of the house a while later after you assume ownership of the house

The Kitsap County resident, a man in his 40s, traveled around Puget Sound last week during the time he was contagious, the department said. He went to Seattle from Bainbridge Island on the "Tacoma" ferry on April 4, then flew to Friday Harbor. From the Friday Harbor marina, he went to the San Juan County Department of Community Development and Planning and the Friday Harbor fuel dock.
The man may have been exposed to measles March 21 at Cask and Schooner Public House and Restaurant on Friday Harbor when the person who developed the first of five cases of measles in San Juan County was present while contagious.
There have been no reported measles cases related to a Whatcom County woman who visited several Seattle locations in late March, but public-health officials warn that it's about time anybody who was exposed in those places to begin showing symptoms. The woman attended a Kings of Leon concert and went to Pike Place Market while contagious.
Most people in Washington are immune to measles, so the public risk is low except for those who are unvaccinated, the health department said. However, measles is highly contagious; a person who isn't vaccinated can contract the virus just by walking into a room where someone with the disease has been in the past few hours. In some cases, measles can be fatal, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Anyone who is not vaccinated or unsure about their immunity and develops an illness with fever and rash should contact a health-care professional immediately.
Measles symptoms begin seven to 21 days after exposure and the person with measles is contagious for about four days before and after a rash appears, according to the health department.

Just to add a couple of cool additional sites...
The Life/Death Clock Is a real time clock showing statistics of deaths caused by causes such as tobacco, malpractice, alcohol abuse, vehicle accidents, firearm homicides, drug abuse & suicide. At the bottom a real time clock showing lives saved because a firearm was accessible. It shows the stats for the year, plus the number of each events since your browser has logged on.
(a very good showing of stats to show where firearms stand in saving a life and where firearm related homicides stand in relation to other types of deaths including doctors screw-ups!)
The other site is The Global Incident Map Which displays where acts of Terrorism and other Suspicious Events are taking place across the globe.
BTW... TN_MIKE Thanks for the Gun Defense Clock site. I added it to my links... cool site!

|ORDER denying 12 Motion to Transfer Venue and for Recusal - This motion filed by pro se plaintiff was improperly classified as a motion for a more definite statement. In essence it was a motion to transfer this social security appeal to t he U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NY ("SDNY"), which had originally transferred the case to this court. Moreover, this court liberally construed the motion as one for recusal. For the reasons set forth in the ATTACHED WR ITTEN SUMMARY ORDER, Plaintiff's motion requesting transfer of the instant action back to the SDNY and recusal is denied. The Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and, therefor e, in forma pauperis status is denied for purpose of an appeal. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962). The Clerk of the Court is directed to mail a copy of this Electronic Order to pro se plaintiff. The briefing schedule previously set by the court on April 8, 2013 remains in effect. SO ORDERED by Judge Dora Lizette Irizarry on 4/22/2013. (Irizarry, Dora)

This same question was asked in late 2010 and, still, the SAME problem persists.
There was some debate on this question, but the solution proposed simply did not bring any improvement.
Ruby tagging is a mess. Everyone indiscriminately tag "ruby" and "ruby-on-rails" on almost every Rails question. Sometimes, even the other way around.
Most of the times, people won't bother about correctly tagging version-specific or version-indifferent questions. It's very common to see even experienced users to tag "ruby-on-rails", "ruby-on-rails-3" and "ruby" on a simple, version-unaware Rails question.
Tagging is clear in both Rails and Ruby tag wikis, but, apparently, no one reads it. I've tried editing a few questions, correcting tags. But to no use. They just keep coming.
TO any rubyist who does NOT code Rails apps, it is just plainly painful to try to answer Ruby questions on a really Rails-flooded ruby-tagged page.
How can this be solved?
Thank you!

Gallup has an interesting poll out this morning, indicating that the tide has shifted, and the Democratic numbers are growing.
An average of 47% of Americans identified as Democrats or said they were independents who leaned Democratic in 2012, compared with 42% who identified as or leaned Republican. That re-establishes a Democratic edge in party affiliation after the two parties were essentially tied in 2010 and 2011.
The swing seems to primarily come from the middle, with independents leaning closer to the left.
The new Democratic advantage is mostly due to an increased proportion of Democratic-leaning independents and a decreased proportion of Republican-leaning independents. Thus, the movement comes almost exclusively among Americans with weaker attachments to the political parties.
With all the talk after the before, during and after the election of a third party possibility, how will these numbers factor into strategy for both parties moving forward? As Gallup indicates, political 'independents' are steadily increasing in number. As many of my conservative colleagues are already aware, the GOP needs to look closely at refining their message to appeal to these independents. The question is, is the GOP prepared to do that?
I personally feel that until the GOP gets in line with grassroots organizations instead of considering them opposition, these independent numbers will continue to grow, or worse, deviate to the left.

If there was one thing I saw and heard about at VMworld, was the number of third party collaborations that were taking place. While not explicitly stated by VMware at VMworld, the show floor had many different collaborations that were taking place. This level of collaboration shows a level of maturity within the virtualization and cloud vendor ecosystems. A maturity, that shows that the vendors understand the benefits of leveraging other companies to lower their overall costs while producing better and more attractive products. Some of the collaborations I saw where purely the resale of products, while others were integrations between products.

Quest (vFoglight 6.6), vKernel (vOPS 4), VMTurbo, Reflex Systems, Xangati, and Cirba (Data Center Control 7.0) have all made significant product enhancements which are being demonstrated at VMworld this week. These announcements largely reflect the increasing level of sophistication in these tools, and the emergence of Hyper-V as the hypervisor upon which cross-platform management strategies are initiated.

vSphere 5 Licensing – The Role of Cross Platform Management Tools and the Hotlink SuperVISOR
• • 0 Comments
So you are a loyal VMware customer. You have licenses for vSphere 4 and you are about 40% virtualized. Based upon the revised vRAM entitlements in the revised vSphere 5 licensing, you think you are going to be OK as you progress through the more demanding business critical purchased and custom developed applications that lie in front of you. But you would like a hedge and a simple way to manage the second hypervisor that is a part of that hedge. Help has arrived.

Licensing: Pools and Architecture Changes?
• • 1 Comment
In the past, virtualization architects and administrators were told the best way forward is to buy as much fast memory as they could afford as well as standardize on one set of boxes with as many CPUs as they dare use. With vRAM Pool licensing this type of open-ended RAM architecture will change as now I have to consider vRAM pools when I architect new cloud and virtual environments. So let's look at this from existing virtual environments and then onto new virtual and cloud environments. How much a change will this be to how I architect things today, and how much of a change is there to my existing virtual environments? Is it a better decision to stay at vSphere 4? Or to switch hypervisors entirely?

VMTurbo's unique Service Assurance capabilities (and the ability to charge for them in the paid products) allows VMTurbo to make baseline performance and capacity management for vSphere environments available for free. This represents a significant redefinition of where the value is and where the value is not in the virtualization performance management business.

Security of Performance and Management tools within the Virtual Environment
• • 1 Comment
The problem is that not everything is as black and white as security folks desire. If we implement performance and other management tools, we often need to expose part of our all important virtualization management network to others. But how do we do this safely, securely, with minimal impact to usability? Why do we need to this is also another question. You just have to take one look at the Virtualization ASsessment TOolkit (Vasto) to realize the importance of this security requirement. But the question still exists, how do you implement other necessary tools within your virtual environment without impacting usability?

A Perfect Storm in Availability and Performance Monitoring
• • 3 Comments
The right approach to monitoring a virtual or cloud based environment is to start with a clean sheet of paper, determine your requirements, and assemble a horizontally layered solution out of best of class vendor solutions that address each layer. Vendors should be evaluated on their mastery of one or more layers, their ability to keep up with the change in that layer, and their ability to integrate with adjacent layers.
