So I included lots of special details by Scott McBride interior and exterior space. A porch offers just that I hope will spare my porch some of the problems I've seen in 20 years of remodeling other people's houses. The foundation—I sited my screen porch two risers up from grade and three risers down from the adjacent kitchen. This made a smooth transi- tion to the yard without requiring too much of a descent when carrying an armful of dinner plates from the kitchen. To anchor the structure visual- ly, I ran a continuous step of pressure-treated lumber around the perimeter as a sort of plinth (bottom photo, facing page). The step is supported by pressure-treated look- outs that cantilever off the poured-concrete foun- dation (top photo, right). I used pressure-treated 2x6s for the lookouts, inserted them into my formwork and actually poured the concrete around and over them. There isn't much con- crete above the lookouts, so to key each look- out into the mix, I nailed a joist hanger on both sides. A week after the pour, the projecting look- outs were rock solid. A hip-framed floor—Masonry is the obvious choice for the floor of a screen porch because water blowing through the screens won't affect it. Thinking ahead. Lookouts embedded in the Also, in hot weather the coolness of a masonry concrete (and held securely by the addition floor feels good on your bare feet.

But open decking looks utilitarian at floor flush with the 2x8 coping. best, and my wife and I wanted something a bit more refined. I decided to use untreated kiln-dried yellow- pine flooring, bordered by a coping of treated 2x8 (middle photo, right). I have repaired a lot of old porches, and I have noticed that it's the outer ends of the old floors that eventually decay while the wood stays sound just a foot or so in from the drip line of the eaves. By bordering my floor with a treated coping, the untreated yellow-pine floor- ing would be recessed further under cover. Also, the coping would allow me to lay the tongue- and-groove (T&G) floor at the end of the job be- cause the structure above—the roof and its sup- porting columns—bears on the coping, not on the flooring. A temporary plywood floor endured weather and foot traffic during construction and allowed me easy access to run wires in the 1-ft. deep crawlspace. To ensure positive drainage, and to avoid standing water on the T&G floor I had decided to use, I pitched the floor in. per ft. from its center in three directions. This meant that I'd have to frame the floor like a shallow hip roof (bottom photo, right). What became the ridge of the floor framing was supported by concrete piers. I ran 1x strapping perpendicular to the joists and eventually laid the flooring over the strap- ping. In addition to promoting good air circula- tion under the flooring, the strapping served two other purposes: It allowed the flooring to run parallel to the slope so that most of the water similar arrangement, but instead of lag bolts, I would flow by the joints in the flooring rather used inverted J-bolts with the foot of the J mor- than into them.

The author used a chick- en ladder—a narrow set of stairs built on site- to ease the task of installing the vertical sheath- ing that runs from the eaves to the ridge. The porch is supported by a series of hollow posts. Plywood wainscot panels the process, I built a chicken ladder—a narrow provide lateral rigidity. The wainscot panels and the shop-made screen staircase that hooks over the ridge and runs panels fit into the rabbets cut into the posts. down to the eaves (bottom photo, p. 39). Building a structure with an exposed finished frame was difficult and time-consuming. Floor space in my shop was strained to the max while all the components were fabricated. Everything had to be given multiple coats of a water-repel- lent finish to prepare it for the eventuality of rain before I could dry in the structure—I used Olym- pic WaterGuard (PPG Industries, Inc., One PPG Place, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15272; 412434-3131). Mov- ing ladders and scaffolding around all that fin- ished woodwork was harrowing. The payoff, though, was a structure with a kind of bare-bones integrity that would have been hard to achieve with the conventional approach of rough fram- ing wrapped with finish material. Finish details—To contrast with the yellow pine in the ceiling and the floor, I used fir for all the woodwork from the floor up to the interior frieze (left photo, p. 39). The choice of fir allowed me to order matching stock screen doors, and this saved a lot of time in the shop. To reinforce the doors against racking, I introduced slender diag- onal compression braces into the doors' lower screen panels. The structure itself gains much-needed shear strength from the wainscot below each screen panel. The wainscot has no interior framing: It is built up with plywood and trim boards. First I screwed -in. AC fir plywood panels to the posts, good side in. I bedded the panels into the same rabbets that would receive the screen frames above the wainscot. I then attached 5/4 fir rails and stiles to the inside face of the fir plywood. To avoid exposed nail heads, I screwed through the back of the panel to catch the trim. On the outside, I tacked a sheet of -in. lauan over the back of the AC plywood. Lauan holds up well in exterior applications and takes a good paint finish. The stiles and the rails on the out- side were nailed through both layers of plywood into the interior stiles and rails. The resulting sandwich proved remarkably stiff. I capped the panels with a beveled sill and a rabbeted stool. For drainage, the bottom edge of the wainscot was raised 1 in. above the floor coping. To keep bugs out, I stapled a narrow skirt of insect screen around the outside. The top of this skirt was clamped down with a thin wooden band. A sim- ilar condition was achieved at the doors by at- taching sweeps of insect screen. I even weather- stripped the edges of screen doors using a compressible-rubber weatherstripping (see FHB #78, pp. 92,94). When it came time to lay the T&G floor, I pon- dered the best way to deal with the shallow hips where the pitch of the floor changes direction. Rather than have a continuous 45° joint, which would be prone to opening up and collecting dirt, I decided to weave the floorboards in a her- ringbone pattern (top photo, facing page). Working from the longest boards out to the short- est, I grooved the end of each board so that it would engage the leading tongued edge of its neighbor. To cut the end groove, I used a -in. wing cutter chucked in a router (bottom photo, right). The result is a pleasing stepped pattern that is accentuated by the way sunlight bounces off the wood according to the grain direction and the different planes of the hipped floor. De- pending on where you stand, the floor has al- most a faceted look; one side of the hip looks darker than the other. Outside, I finished the porch with details con- sistent with my late 19th-century house. I extend- ed the cornice return all the way across the gable by cantilevering lookouts off the gable studding. This creates a full pediment and gives the porch's gable end the same overhang protection as its eaves. The tops of the posts sport scroll brackets on the outside and simple capitals on the inside. Screen for the porch—I made wood frames for my porch screens out of 1x2 fir. I used mor- tise-and-tenon joinery with an offset shoulder on the rails. The strength of a mortise-and-tenon joint isn't really necessary for a fixed frame that gets The hipped floor slopes in three directions to shed water that blows through the screens (above). fully supported in a larger structure. But the de- Sun hitting the finished floor gives a pleasing effect. The joists are cross-strapped, and the flooring sign of a mortise-and-tenon joint makes it easy is laid on the strapping so that it runs parallel to the slope of the porch floor. A router grooved the end of each piece of flooring (below) so that it could herringbone its way down the floor's hips. to use a table saw to cut the rabbets and plow the spline grooves before assembling the frame. Spline stock holds the screen in the frame. Tubular in cross section, the spline stock gets pushed into a groove on the frame where its compression holds the screen in place. Spline stock is made from rubber or vinyl, and it's avail- able in a smooth profile or with ridges around the circumference. The ridges help guide the splining tool, and they give the spline a little more bite on the walls of the groove. The tool used to press in the spline looks like a double-ended pizza cutter. One disk has a con- vex edge used initially to crease the screen into the groove. The other disk has a concave edge, which tracks on the round spline as it is pressed into the groove. The two most common types of screen are alu- minum and vinyl. Aluminum screen is available in mill finish or charcoal (see FHB #54, p. 4, for a source of screen made of copper, stainless- steel, bronze, etc.). I used mill-finish aluminum for my screen porch because it seemed to be the most trans- parent. I also think aluminum is somewhat stronger than vinyl and less likely to sag over wide spans. The main drawback of aluminum is oxidation, which gradually forms a grainy de- posit on the wire and reduces the screen's trans- parency. I live in a rural inland area where salt and pollution aren't prevalent. If I lived near the sea or in an urban environment, I would have leaned toward vinyl. I would also go with vinyl if I were hanging the screen in place vertically, rather than rolling it out on a bench. Vinyl is much easier to work with and less likely to crease. A final consideration in choosing screen is the resounding ping made by bugs slamming into a tightly stretched aluminum screen. I rather enjoy it—it's one of the unique sounds of sum- mer—but others might prefer to muffle the im- pact by using the softer vinyl screen.

About this location
The Paphos District
Paphos is a year round resort. From beaches to historic monuments and beautiful countryside just a bus ride away, there is something that all the family will enjoy doing, although not necessarily all at the same time!
If you like a more active holiday there are cycling and walking tours, trips to the mountains, including skiing in winter. Then there's also the diving, kite surfing and sailing!
And if golf's your game, there are a number of courses within easy reach, such as the recently completed Elea Golf Course, designed by Nick Faldo.
The Paphos region has something for everyone at any time of the year.
Kato Paphos is the tourist centre and has lively clubs and typical tourist bars and restaurants. That said, the recently pedestrianised and refurbished harbour promenade offers comfortable restaurants, both indoor and outdoor and is worth strolling down to in the evening for a meal or just for cocktails. Lunch or afternoon drinks in the shady harbour bars, overlooking the pontoons along with a bit of people watching is a good way to chill out too!
For those that like history and culture, Paphos has a lot to see and do. Close to the complex, as you walk to the harbour, there are a number of ancient sites. These are lit and impressive at night. In the harbour itself, is the old Castle and the mosaics. The Museum has a fine collection of Roman villas but it's best to visit this early or late in the day, it's very hot in the middle of the day.
Similarly the Tombs of the Kings is a very interesting place to go if you like ruins and historic sites. Its' still relatively undeveloped, which we think adds to its charms. The Tombs are a Unesco world heritage listed monument. Further along, but still within 15 minutes of Paphos, is Coral Bay which boasts a lovely beach by day and some good restaurants for an evening meal.
Sirena George is in the 'Universal' area, which sits conveniently between Kato Paphos and Old Paphos Town (Ktima).
Old Paphos Town (Ktima) is within easy reach and offers a quieter experience with more traditional and higher quality restaurants and bars at reasonable prices. Set amongst old colonial style buildings in the administrative and commercial area of Paphos, this is ideal for couples seeking a more romantic atmosphere or families looking for a more traditional Cypriot experience.
Worth a half-hour drive (or even a bus ride) north is a quiet and unspoilt coastline featuring the small town of Polis and the fishing village of Latchi. A lovely day out for some swimming (even some surf) and, perhaps, a fish Meze for lunch. There are many water-sports available in Latchi too and a little further, the Akamas peninsula to explore.
Further afield there are the Troodos Mountains and Kykkos Monastery. You can either go 'on safari' with an organised tour or travel independently if you have a car. However, I would thoroughly recommend the jeep safari, as this takes you off road and you get to see some of the more remote parts of the mountains, plus the guides are very informative.
For those who like to get their 'culture' there are a number of ancient sites like Kourion, near Episkopi. Here there is a Greco-Roman theatre, the House of Eustolios, which has beautiful floor mosaics, the Acropolis, the ruins of a Roman-era forum and the Christian Basilica. The Cypriot Archaeological department has been working very hard to make these sites accessible and interesting. You can reach these sights by car or by bus.

"best accommodation on the complex!"
We have visited Paphos many times, and have stayed at Sirena George before, but it is safe to say that this house is the best one on the complex. It has everything you could possibly need whilst you are on holiday. The house is decorated beautifully, and is very modern with comfortable furniture, which is sometimes hard to come by when renting properties abroad. The wifi was a great touch too!
We travelled as two couples, and the house having two bathrooms was an absolute godsend when it came to four of us getting ready.
The pool area is fab, and the pool itself was always clean and a lovely temperature, perfect too cool off in the heat of the day.
There is a car park on site which is convenient if you have got car hire, giving you the opportunity to park your car pretty much in front of the house.
There is lots of information in the house about Paphos and the things that you can do when you get there, very handy if you are a newbie to the island!
From booking, right through to our stay Ann was on hand to help us with any problems which may have come up (we didnt have any!) but its reassuring to know there are people there if needs be. The owners daughter also lives close by which adds to this!
We would definitely stay here again when we return to Paphos and I would recommend anyone thinking of booking to stay here!
We are delighted to read how much you enjoyed your stay and thank you very much for your kind comments.

"Excellent - no fuss, hassle and simply a pleasure to stay there"
Short review as nothing at all to complain about it.
Communication and support from owners was great, clear quick and informative. On arrival, their daughter Laura met us to make sure we were ok and gave us really useful information about the area and suggestions of where to go etc.
House was superb; clean, tidy, very well furnished and equipped.
Complex was the same and filled with very friendly and welcoming people who were genuinely pleased to see us there and enjoying ourselves.
The description of the house, its location and amenities plus the surrounding areas and what to do are spot on.
I would recommend staying here without hesitation and already starting to look at next year.
We really appreciate your kind comments. We always strive to meet our guests expectations and provide a high quality experience. We're looking forward to welcoming you again.

"Great Location, Great House, Great Holiday"
We stayed at the Sirena George for a week in July 2012. We were a group of 6 girls (ages 20-25) and the location was perfect. Located about 15-20 mins from the main bar street and harbour, however further enough away to be able to relax during the day. We used "Stevies Taxi's" most days to get around as they charged 2 EURO per person to get to the main part of town.
The house is located in a residential area and as such during the day we pretty much had the pool to ourselves. The people that were also staying there were very friendly. The house itself had everything you could possibly need as agroup of girls. There were plenty of clean linen and towels, and on arrival it was spotlessly clean. We made very good use of the verandah often sitting out there before heading for a meal / drinks in the evening and using it for shade during the day. Paphos in July is extremely hot so we made good use of the air conditioning too.
Paphos itself is very nice. There are a good choice of restaurants down by the harbour however we tended to eat away from the main hotspots as the food was more reasonably priced. We had an excellent meal in the Japanese restaurant (number 1 or 2 on Trip Advisors).
Booking the property was also very easy and we were met on arrival by the owners daughter woh gave us a quick low down of where was good to go and not.
Overall we had a great stay at the Sirena George, and would highly recommend it. Thanks Ann and Cliff for letting us stay!!
Thanks for your feedback and we're really glad you enjoyed your holiday in Paphos.

"Lovely holiday home"
We had a really nice holiday staying here. Great small complex with a nice pool, and only about 15 minutes from many bars and restaurants near the harbour. There's also a restaurant within 5 minutes that's very good. Quiet area so if you want a relaxing holiday, I'd highly recommend staying here! The house itself has everything you'd need for your stay, from the usual full kitchen appliances to your own sun loungers for the pool. Nice verandah for sitting out on those warm evenings. Felt like you were in your own home, not stuck in a hotel room. The internet access was a definite bonus. Will definitely go back someday :)
We're really pleased you felt at home, it's what we were aiming for. We'd love to welcome you back.

"Very comfortable accommodation in a great resort"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa. With quality furnishings and a welcoming greek feel to it, it was the perfect place for our family of five. Nice and clean with all the facilities you would need- air conditioning through out ensured we all kept cool. The convenient terrace area downstairs was perfect for sitting out and reading a book or eating dinner al fresco in the evening - with railings and a gate so that our one-year-old couldn't wonder off.
The children loved the pool outside, for use by only a handful of villas- as with most villa complexes you need to watch very young children around the poolside, but our older children loved having the pool on their door step and used it everyday!
The villa is not far from the sea front and all the amenities. There is an abundance of good restaurants to chose from and the nearby water park is fantastic.
We're really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you made such good use of the pool.
10 Aug 2011
"Very Enjoyable"
The locals make you very welcome without being too overbearing like in some Mediterranean countries. The food and drink is very reasonably priced and always of a very high quality. The house was very clean and comfortable for the 5 of us staying there. The air conditioning works very well and the pool area was cleaned daily and very refreshing. I am hoping to go back again next summer.
Thank you for your comments, we're really pleased you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you again.

I don't have a crystal ball. Predicting is a real complicated thing. If we stay healthy, have enough depth and get the good goaltending we think we're going to have, you can go all the way. But a lot of things have to happen. There's going to be a lot of teams that think the same thing. Everyone made deals. We're all are optimistic about where we'll end up.

Officials, family members, hope to find missing man
Michael Nichols has not been seen or heard from since Nov. 29.
Published: Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 4:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 10:59 p.m.
Sheriff's officials are still searching for a 44-year-old man, described as homeless, who has been missing about two months.
Michael Wayne Nichols has not been seen or heard from since Nov. 29, when he was seen at Walmart in Inverness in the company of two people.
Detectives believe the man and woman on a surveillance video appear to be a couple, but they have not yet identified them.
Robert G. Nichols said his brother has been in and out of Marion County for approximately a year, living with different people while here.
He said his brother would call him and their sister occasionally, asking for money and to let them know he was all right.
He said his brother receives Social Security disability income.
After not hearing from him, the family came to Marion County and searched for their loved one.
They then contacted the Sheriff's Office for assistance.
"It's not normal for him not to call us," Robert G. Nichols said.
On Wednesday, sheriff's officials issued an alert saying they believe Nichols is endangered and that they have classified his disappearance as suspicious.
Nichols is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs about 230 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.
He and the unidentified man and woman were last seen in a vehicle described as an older model, faded blue, two-door car — possibly a Firebird, Camaro or Trans Am-type sports car.
Anyone with information about Nichols' whereabouts, or who can identify the other people or the vehicle, should call Detective Donald Buie at 572-4648.
Contact Austin L. Miller at 867-4118 or email@example.com.

By Becky Barnes, Editor Kentucky's Governor Steve Beshear has called for a special election on Tuesday, March 3, to fill the seat of Wayne Blevins Jr. who resigned as representative of the 27th Senatorial District. Blevins was elected as Rowan County judge-executive in November. The March 3 special election will be to fill Blevins' unexpired term. Harrison County Clerk Linda Furnish said all precincts will vote at Cynthiana's National Guard Armory at 1497 New Lair Road.

Cynthiana public works crews were given the all-clear Tuesday night to dig up streets and repair water main leaks resulting from freezing winter temperatures. Leaks were reported on Saturday from several residents, but crews could not begin repairs until receiving information on the locations of other utility lines, explained Cynthiana public utilities director Gary Royalty. It can take up to two days to get clearance from the state, he said.

If you have laughed along with the Church Basement Ladies previously, don't worry ... this is an all new show! In this latest and final installment of the series, we will be transported back to 1979 and the day of the church's Centennial Celebration. If you have ever attended a church potluck supper, you will feel right at home as the parishioners gather to share hot dishes, cookie bars, and stories from the last 100 years. The day includes a sumptuous lunch including dessert along with a dazzling pre-show revue by the "Bootleggers" (performing wait staff).
On our way home we will stop at the Quad Cities Botanical Center for a tropical escape and Chocolate Tour. This tour takes a closer look at the sweet lure of chocolate.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2015 -- "CAROUSEL" -- Lyric Opera House in Chicago, IL
Come with Vista and enjoy this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic which has been named the "Best Musical of the 20th Century" by Time magazine. The show features a beautiful musical score and the most skillful and affecting example of R & H's musical storytelling. The Lyric Opera has taken the liberty to adapt the story, which now takes place in the Depression-era 1930's. They have created a world tinged in melancholy, a world of failed dreams. When the carnival comes, it is the one moment of hope every year that draws everybody out and everyone together. Swaggering, carefree carnival barker, Billy Bigelow, captivates and marries the naive millworker, Julie Jordan. But all too soon, they fall on hard times and unbearable loss. Yet the power of love perseveres, as do the tuneful hits, in this masterpiece of American musical theater. You'll hear "If I Loved You," "June Is Bustin' Out All Over," and "You'll Never Walk Alone" among other great hits! The acoustics and ambiance of the Lyric Opera House provide an even great musical experience.
And we have more treats in store for you! We had such a high demand so we ordered Amtrak train tickets for our ride into and out of Chicago! After boarding the train, sit back and relax, read, go to the dining car, or whatever your pleasure. We are scheduled to arrive at Union Station at approximately 10:40 a.m. and will then have about a 3-block walk to "Boston Blackies" for lunch of your choice. Following lunch, we simply have to walk the bridge over the river and we will arrive at the Lyric Opera House.

THURSDAY - SATURDAY, JULY 23 - 25, 2015 -- GERMAN FEST & MORE, Milwaukee, WI
Mitkommen (Come along) with us as we travel north of the border to the "City of Festivals"… Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a 3 day/2 night adventure. This city hosts some of the largest ethnic and cultural festivals across the nation. Join us as we travel to Milwaukee for their annual German Fest which is known as the nation's largest festival of its kind. One of the most exciting areas in downtown Milwaukee is the Old World Historic District where we will begin our trip with a Walking Food Tour in this area. Don't worry, we only cover approximately 1 mile over a 3-hour time period. Our tour includes local specialties along with learning about the rich history of many buildings and architecture featured along our path. Following the tour, we are off to one of the best local breweries: Sprecher Brewery. We have a chance to view the production area, listen to the company's history, receive a keepsake glass as well as sample the beer or root beer, all you can drink soda, along with a thank you gift pack as we depart. You will have time to visit the gift shop before we leave. Our next stop is the Fairfield Inn & Suites -- our home away from home for 2 nights. You will have time to check in and get situated in your room; then you can utilize the great information we learned on our food tour to enjoy your choice of local restaurants/pubs for the evening.
Day 2 begins with a wonderful breakfast at the hotel before we depart. Our first stop is a guided tour of the Harley Davidson Museum, which includes time on your own to explore the displays or visit the gift shop. Then, we are off to the famous Milwaukee Art Museum. Our time is scheduled so we will be able to see the famous Burke Brise Soleil Display. This architectural masterpiece will amaze you as you watch the huge "wings" open and close while you enjoy your lunch. We will complete our visit with a guided tour (and, yes, they have a gift shop too). Included in our trip to Milwaukee is a visit to the Basilica of St. Josephat which is consistently listed as one of the top rated attractions in Milwaukee. Our guide will take us through this beautiful campus where we learn about its rich history and beautiful architecture. We will then stop by the hotel for a quick break to drop off anything you have picked up during the day, and gather anything you would like for the evening. Then, it is off to Festival Park for the opening night of German Fest! You will be on our own to enjoy the Festival Activities as desired for the remainder of the evening.
On Day 3 we start traveling back towards home with a stop in Lake Geneva. This beautiful place features one of the most interesting boat rides you will ever take….the famous Mail Boat Tour. We will ride on Lake Geneva and watch as a daring young mail carrier jumps on and off the boat to deliver the mail. The catch is the boat never stops so the mail carrier must be in tip-top shape; otherwise he may be taking an unexpected bath. Following this cruise adventure, we will walk over to a local restaurant for a nice plated lunch. After our lunch, we will head back home. We hope you will consider joining us for this mini get-away vacation!
Price includes: Food Tour, Sprecher Brewery Tour, Harley Davidson Tour, Art Museum Tour, Basilica Tour, Admission to German Fest, Mail Boat Tour, Day 1 Lunch, Day 2 Breakfast & Lunch, Day 3 Breakfast & Lunch, Hotel and Baggage, Transportation, Driver's Tip, and all applicable taxes and tips for each tour and meal.

Hi: 3° Lo:-9°
CHICKEN specialists are passing on their eggs-pertise to students at Warwickshire College.
Ettington-based Warwickshire Chicken Coop is helping animal care students set up their own poultry enterprise.
The company, which launched earlier this year, supplied the students at Moreton Morrell with 13 hens and one cockerel as part of the project.
Their work will include running a chicken breeding pen, where the students will hatch eggs into chicks and sell them, once vaccinated, onto Warwickshire Chicken Coop to retail to the public.
Warwickshire Chicken Coop owner Jenna Jack said: "The world of chicken keeping has grown enormously over the past year; we have already sold over 1,000 chickens since opening in March.
"It is so pleasing to see the younger generation getting involved in the poultry industry and realising how enterprising chickens can really be."
Brian Cook, college animal welfare manager, added: "This has been a fantastic project for the students to follow through. They each chose the chicken they wanted, having done research on the breeds beforehand in class. This will form an important part of their enterprise project and it is excellent to see the students having ownership over something."

Pearl Jam Setlist, Night One
Due to the mechanical failure of an American Eagle puddle jumper, I missed the first night of Pearl Jam's final stand at the Spectrum. (It's a long story.) C'est la guerre: There are three more shows in the offing. And never fear, Sam Adams was there on Tuesday for the Inquirer, and his review will be up on the web in the a.m. It's here.

Via The Guardian, an essay by Ed Vulliamy: Albert Camus' The Plague: a story for our, and all, times. Excerpt:
Few writers kept their work as close to the subject of death as did Albert Camus, one of the greatest novelists and essayists of the 20th century, who met his own end in a road accident 55 years ago this week, on the Lyon-Paris Route Nationale 6.
Of all Camus' novels, none described man's confrontation – and cohabitation – with death so vividly and on such an epic scale as La Peste, translated as The Plague. Most of us read The Plague as teenagers, and we should all read it again. And again: for not only are all humankind's responses to death represented in it, but now – with the advent of Ebola – the book works on the literal as well as metaphorical level.
Camus' story is that of a group of men, defined by their gathering around and against the plague. In it we encounter the courage, fear and calculation that we read or hear in every story about West Africa's efforts to curtail and confront Ebola; through its narrator, Dr Rieux, we can identity with the hundreds of Cuban doctors who went immediately to the plague's Ground Zero, and those such as the Scottish nurse currently fighting for her life at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
I think Camus intended such a literal – as well as allegorical - reading. It is generally agreed that the pestilence he describes signifies the Third Reich. Writing in 1947, as the world whooped victory and "Never Again", Camus insisted that the next plague "would rouse up its rats again" for "the bane and enlightenment of men". But Camus was also aware of the great cholera epidemic in Oran, Algeria – where the novel is set – in 1849, and of others in his native district of Mondovi in the Algerian interior.
But there is another reason we should all re-read La Peste (preferably in French or the English translation by Stuart Gilbert, a work of literature in itself). Like every good metaphorical or allegorical work, it can represent beyond its intentions; including pestilences both moral and metaphorical that have happened after Camus' own lifetime. The critic John Cruikshank insists that La Peste is also a reflection on "man's metaphysical dereliction in the world", in which case the applications are endless, and up to us. So it is worth reflection on this anniversary of his death: what would the plague signify now?
Nowadays, I think, La Peste can tell the story of a different kind of plague: that of a destructive, hyper-materialist, turbo-capitalism; and can do so as well as any applied contemporary commentary. In fact especially so, for this reason: the Absurd.
Our society is absurd, and Camus' novel examines – among many other things, and for all its moralising – our relationship to the absurdity of modern existence. It can describe very well the plague in a society which blares its phantasmagoria across the poor world so that millions come, aboard tomb ships or across murderous deserts, in search of its empty promises; and which even destroys the constant against which Camus measured human mortality: nature.

Is The Client List Having Baby Daddy Drama? Luke Kerr June 18, 2013 All My Children, Lifetime, Pop Confidential, The Client List, TV, TV Renewals 3 Comments So much baby daddy drama. According to Deadline, the renewal of Jennifer Love Hewitt's The Client List, for a third season, is being held up over how to best handle Hewitt's real life pregnancy on the show. Reportedly, Hewitt wants Brian Hallisay's character Kyle Parks to be the baby daddy, but the showrunner wants Colin Egglesfield's (ex-Joshua Madden, All My Children) Evan Parks to be the tike's onscreen father. I hear a major sticking point has been demands from Hewitt, who serves as an executive producer on the series, about the storyline for Season 3. I hear Hewitt has asked that Brian Hallisay, her real-life fiance and father of her baby, also play her character Riley's baby daddy on the show in a major story arc next season. I hear that is at odds with the ideas from the Client List showrunner, who I hear pitched the series' male lead Colin Egglesfield, and the network brass, who I hear have not settled on a character as they are looking to keep their options open but are not willing to go with Hallisay, who I hear doesn't have wide support there. Get all the details at Deadline.

I'm pretty sure this is a Tuscan recipe. It's essentially a log of chocolate with crushed white cookies in it, sliced to look like salame. The white cookies in contrast to the chocolate looks just like the coarsely chopped white fat against the dark pink meat in a salame toscano. Buon Appetito!
- side note: this recipe involves eating raw eggs, i feel better about this if i can get them right from the farm, if not right from the chicken
- 1Beat the yolks with the sugar and add the cocoa, butter, sin santo
- 2When it's mixed, add the crushed cookies
- 3Mix them in well, make into the form of a salame and roll it up in aluminum foil
- 4Let it chill for a few hours, remove it from the foil and if you want, dust it with the icing sugar to make it look like the outside of a salame. Slice it like salame, eat it with espresso.
