Editorial Staff • West End • 27 Nov 1998
Wheezing and spluttering, the tuberculous Franz Kafka (John Gordon-Sinclair) somewhat half-heartedly begs his friend Max Brod to burn his collected oeuvre after his death. A few seconds later, we're transported to the present day and to a suburban living room where bored housewife Linda (Julia Mackenzie) bickers with her insurance-selling, Kafka-loving husband Sidney (Denis Lill) and his senile father (Eric Sykes). Events take a turn for the surreal - Max gets caught short on the doorstep and on an unfortunate passing tortoise. The latter is abruptly metamorphosed - spot the allusion - into Kafka, who has no idea that his dying wishes were disobeyed and that he is now one of the leading figures in twentieth century literature.
Mackenzie turns in a magnificently funny performance, maximising the comic potential of the avocado in a totally unprecedented fashion and delivering the immortal line - 'When did you first get the writing bug?' - to Kafka with unimpeachable timing. Syke's bumbling old duffer in fear of the social services is a hoot too: he wields his Zimmer frame with Chaplinesque aplomb, eliciting spontaneous applause from the audience every time he leaves the stage. Gordon-Sinclair's wry delivery and gangly presence is just right for the role, and his diffident, depressive Kafka is spot on.
If there is one duff note in Peter Hall's production, it has to be the weird melange of accents: Jason Watkins' Brod overdoes the Middle-European Semitic and slips into kebab-house Greek, Gordon Sinclair sticks with Scots and James Belcher as Kafka's thoroughly evil father wavers between the two. But apart from that, the production is hard to fault.
At one level, the play questions the ability of biographers ever to capture the true essence of their subject; at another, the impact of the dysfunctional family on the creative process; at yet another, it explores the complex relationship of a couple who have grown apart. But where this production excels is at the surface level of pure comedy. Alan Bennett's humour swerves from Wildean quips through screaming puns to his trademark witty observations of human absurdity.
If you've never read Kafka, don't worry. It won't spoil your enjoyment of this play as, in spite of the title, it s neither intellectually highbrow nor embarrassingly rude. The literary references are explained, the eponymous organ merely alluded to, never seen.
There's no dearth of big productions in London at the moment but Kafka's Dick is massive.

I had no time for it, but kept the project on my To Do list, just in case an opportunity would show up.
Life being life, the perfect moment came when our friend and collegue Matthieu announced that he was going to be a father.
I already had experience with this kind of object with the project "Fall" . I used this knowledge to make a first experiment about balance during a workshop with Patricia Urquiola at Domaine de Boisbuchet, but the result was too big. The mobile had to fit in a Parisian appartment and be safe for a child. When baby Joseph was born, on december 7th 2013, I had to no choice than to finish what I had started. I designed a completely different mobile using the GREAT Autodesk app 123D design. Using the experience I got from my previous experiments, making it work was very easy.
I'm very proud of the result.
Matthieu and his son also love the bird mobile very much.
Here is the making of and how to make your own :
Step 1: The dowels
Cut the big one at 75 cm and the small one at 50cm. It will be the structure of your mobile.
Then smooth the edges if necessary.
Step 2: Print the 3D parts

- The Cloud (we used infill : 0 ; White PLA)
- 2 flying birds (infill : 0 ; White PLA + Raft)
- 6 standing birds (infill : 0 ; White PLA + Raft)

- 3 small clips (no raft needed)

DAVID S. BOARDMAN, native of the town of New-Milford, was graduated at Yale-College, in 1793; pursued his legal studies under Judge Reeve, until March 1795, when he was admitted to the Bar of Litchfield county; and having settled in his profession in his native town, pursued the practice of law there, until May, 1831; when he gave up the practice, on being appointed Chief Judge of the County Court. This office he held for five years.
On the death of Mr. Everitt, in 1805, he was appointed Judge of Probate for the district of New-Milford, to which office he was re-appointed for sixteen years in succession. He was elected eight times a member of the General Assembly, viz. in October, 1812, May, 1813, Oct. 1813, Oct. 1814, and May, 1815, and again in the years 1827, 1828, and 1829.[footer.htm]

IRVING, Texas (AP) - DeMarcus Ware could miss a game for the first time in his eight-year career.
DeMarco Murray isn't saying.
The star pass rusher and starting running back for the Dallas Cowboys both were injured in Sunday's 31-16 win over Washington.
Ware went out in the first quarter with a strained right quadriceps muscle. Murray exited in the second quarter with an MCL sprain in his left knee.
Their health is likely to go a long way toward determining whether the Cowboys end a three-year playoff drought.
It won't help that the first game after the injuries is Sunday in Philadelphia. The Cowboys and Eagles are tied for the NFC East lead at 3-3.

The Berkeley County Sheriffs Office Drug Enforcement Unit arrested two St. Stephen men on methamphetamine charges Thursday.
Agents, with a warrant, conducted a search of a camper located at 3305 Santee River Rd. in the St. Stephen area of Berkeley County, according to a press release. Officers found components of a methamphetamine lab along with a small amount of methamphetamine.
The unit is working hard to clamp down on the methamphetamine labs in Berkeley County, Drug Enforcement Unit Captain Mike Williams said.
Timothy Cannon Jr., 26, of 3305 Santee River Rd. and Joseph Brandon Roff, 30, of 134 Roosevelt Dr. were taken into custody. Cannon is charged with attempt to manufacture and possession of meth. Roffs charges are possession of meth and simple possession of marijuana.
Both suspects are being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center.

Beyond repair Artwalk tram has been retired, leaving event organizers looking for new, more reliable vehicle
CORPUS CHRISTI - Artwalk attendees can no longer catch a ride on the brightly painted tram that once shuttled people around downtown.
The tram, plagued for years by mechanical problems, is beyond repair and has been retired, leaving Artwalk organizers scrambling to find a new vehicle.
Downtown Management District officials have asked the Regional Transportation Authority to provide another one, but agency officials are reluctant to foot the entire bill for a new tram, which could cost as much as $200,000.
RTA Chairman John Valls encouraged the management district to seek out other partners to help pay for a new vehicle.
"We want to be a good partner to the (Downtown Management District), but if we do it for y'all, who else is going to come knocking on our door?" he said. "We'll do our fair share, but help us help you."
The RTA donated the tram years ago to the management district after it had been sitting unused in a maintenance facility, Valls said. The RTA no longer had use for the tram because of its ongoing mechanical problems.
The management district has been hamstrung by some of those same problems.
"It's been a blessing and a curse," said Casey Lain, Downtown Management District chairman and owner of House of Rock.
The tram was largely confined to downtown and primarily used during Artwalks, where it was a popular and free attraction among the 5,000 or more people that show up for the monthly events, Lain said.
People waited in line and crammed into the vehicle to tour attractions and listen to local band, Hobo, as the vehicle chugged along to different stops where art and music were featured.
However, because of its problems, officials often were reluctant to drive it beyond downtown, limiting its ability to reach people visiting other popular area attractions such as Concrete Street Amphitheater in the neighborhood now called the Sports Entertainment Arts (SEA) District.
The tram has two primary problems: The back brakes are going out, and it leaks exhaust. That could pose a danger to people sitting in the open-air tram near the exhaust pipes.
"We didn't have to shoot it and put it out to pasture. It kinda shot itself," Lain said.
Lain told RTA board members at a recent committee meeting that the Downtown Management District, which has not budgeted for a new tram, will reach out to others to gauge their interest in helping buy a new vehicle.
"We're on a mission to get a new tram," he said.

Lunch in Manhattan tomorrow, somewhere betw Saks & Bloomies or nearby
We'd like to try someplace we've never been to that is great for a late lunch. Here are places we've been to in the vicinity:
Marea, Bice, Bergdorf's, Aquavit, Rosa Mexicana, Momofuku Ma Peche, Fishtail, Fulton, Sarabeth, The Moderne, Le Bernardin, Jojo, Jean-Georges, Dawat, Darbur, Tao, Pampano, Le Bibliotecque, L 'Absinthe. I know a few of these are a little afield, but just in case you thought of suggesting, them, I mentioned them. Not a big fan of anything by David Burke or Daniel Boulud, having been to places of theirs and left wondering why they are so successful.
Thinking of maybe Park Avenue Winter, since we haven't been there since they changed their concept a zillion years ago.
We enjoy pretty much all cuisines. Since I have a day of heavy duty shopping planned, I don't want to schlep too far out of the way, but want something relaxing as a reward for my husband who is only going with me because he expects a good meal to come out of his selflessness.
Made an online res at El Porron at 61st & 1st. A few blocks out of the way, but the menu looks really interesting and pretty reasonable. Anyone been there? Still open to all suggestions.
I'd stay with Park Avenue Winter. Although I haven't been there in a year, I've always thought their food was excellent. The potato latkes are a must!
re: ipsedixit
Oh, I spelled it wrong. I said the Moderne, meant Modern. Liked it, but been there. Thanks.
re: middleagedfoodie
Then how about La Grenouille around the corner from MoMA? Or Gattopardo?
How about the restaurant in the Armani boutique on Fifth? Right across the street from Bendels - you can look at their Lalique windows while enjoying Armani's very fine( very sophisticated) Italian food. Chic decoration too,as you can imagine ...
Well, thanks for the suggestions. I admit I didn't play by the rules I set down. We went to El Porron, which is 4 blocks afield of our target area. This place is pretty good. It's a typical looking upscale tapas place with a little less variety than I expected, but maybe they offer more specials at dinner. We had four small plates: openface sardine sandwiches with a tangy, but not spicy salsa, very good wild mushrooms in another delicious sauce with a tad overdone leeks, delicious sweatbreads accompanied by yet another flavorful sauce and callos madrilenos. It was the first time we've had this classic dish, so nothing to compare it to, but they get the tiny bit of tripe in it tender. For desert, we had a really well prepared Spanish version of Creme Brulee. Not a cheap lunch at $93 before tip including my husband's Scotch, my sherry and two glasses of jumilla and would not go back for dinner, or for that matter perhaps, not even lunch because we probably hit on all the menu options we wanted to try.

DePaul Teaching & Learning Blogs
Adapted from Angelo and Cross (1993) and Nilson (2010).
Classroom Assessment Techniques (commonly called CATs) are brief classroom activities designed to help shape and focus subsequent teaching based on students' current understanding and ongoing learning needs. They are quick and easy ways to assess how well students are learning course content that's been recently covered. Furthermore, they allow students to monitor—and quite possibly strengthen—their own learning.
The following are some common characteristics of CATs:
- Requires student participation
- Is instructor led
- Allows students and instructors to receive ongoing feedback
- Is formative--provides students with ungraded feedback
- Is ongoing
- Is rooted in good teaching practice: linked to objectives, allows for adjustment, and focuses subsequent teaching
Do you know you D2L includes various tools you can use to help increase your students' engagement? Download this handy two-page handout and begin experimenting with these features today!
Examples of Classroom Assessment Techniques
- Background Knowledge Probe: Give students two or three short answer questions or 15-20 multiple choice questions that ask them about their attitudes and understanding (e.g., their motivations, beliefs, values, misconceptions about the subject matter, etc.). This can be used as a diagnostic pre-test.
- Focused Listing: Direct students' attention to a single important name, concept or relationship and ask them to list as many related concepts and ideas as they can. Recommended time limit of 2 -3 minutes or 5-10 items. This activity can show what students identify and recall as salient.
- Clear Skies: Ask students to write down the clearest or most important point they've learned during the class session. This can be used in combination with the "Muddy Waters" activity below.
- Muddy Waters: Ask students to write down what they perceived as the muddiest point in a lecture, reading, etc. Collect responses, then clarify muddy points during the next class.
- Concept Maps: Diagrams that spatially show mental connections (shown as labeled lines) that students make among various concepts (which are written in circles). These can give you a graphic view of your students' organization of knowledge.
- Paper or Project Prospectus: A detailed plan for a project or paper?it can include the topic, purpose, issues to address, audience, organization, and time, skills, and other resources needed?whatever your guidelines are for the project. This activity can be ongoing, especially if the course if project-based. Be sure to give students feedback before they move ahead to the next steps.
- Everyday Ethical Dilemmas: These are case studies that propose ethical problems related to the course material. Write two to three questions that force students to take and defend a position; have them turn in responses anonymously. This also can be assigned as homework.
- Self-Confidence Surveys: These are brief, anonymous surveys focusing on students' confidence in their ability to perform course-related tasks. Find the low-confidence areas in the results and give additional instruction and practice accordingly.
- Punctuated Lectures: After your students listen to your lecture or demonstration, stop and ask them to reflect on what they were doing during your presentation and how it helped or hindered their understanding. Have them write it anonymously and turn it in. Read and offer suggestion on how they can improve listening and self-monitoring skills.
- Application Cards: After a lecture or demonstration, have students write down one or more real-world applications of the material. Select the best ones from a wide range of examples and read to the class at the next meeting.
- Reinforce and Remind Students about Course Goals: Ask students their goals at the beginning of the course and at the midterm ask them to write how they think they are doing in meeting those goals. Also, when students hand in assignments or tests, ask them to write a paragraph that answers the following question: Why are we doing this assignment?

TROUBLE AT TIGERThe owners of Tiger
Aircraft LLC are suing the company's former CEO, saying he sold off
the company's assets without their approval. Gene Criss was fired in
early August after he cut a deal with a Florida company called Network
Hosts (which, ironically, owns 39 scrap yards, among other successful
ventures). According to the Martinsburg Journal, there are four
companies that own a stake in Tiger and they've asked a West Virginia
circuit court for a restraining order to prevent any of the company's
assets from changing hands. Then they want a judgment nullifying the
sale. "Whether it (Tiger) is doing well now or not, there are companies
that have invested substantial sums of money," Tiger attorney Michael
Lorensen told the Journal. "It's not a situation where a responsible
company would allow its assets to go out the door." More...
SWEARINGEN DEFENDS LAYOFFSIt's been a tough month for
Martinsburg because Tiger's neighbor, Sino Swearingen, has announced
that 50 employees at its SJ30 fuselage and wing plant in the West
Virginia plant are being laid off, along with 100 at the main assembly
plant in San Antonio. The announcement came about six weeks after the
company said it would build a huge new plant and hire another 850
workers in San Antonio. The company's CFO Kelly Simmons said the layoffs
are "a bump in the road" and Sino Swearingen remains committed to
building the 300 jets it has on order. "It just looks bad more than
anything," Simmons told the San Antonio Express-News. "What this is,
frankly, it's the life of a startup business and the beginning of a mass
production process. These are issues that are typical of setting that
up." More...
LOOKS AT "SYNTHETIC" FUEL -- MADE FROM FUELWhere there are
hydrocarbons, there can be jet fuel, and the Air Force is looking at an
85-year-old technology to solve a modern problem. Jet fuel is made from
oil, some of which must be purchased from other countries (and
occasionally expended in the defense of and acquisition of same,
according to some). The Air Force wants a guaranteed supply of fuel to
meet its objectives and is looking at the work two German scientists did
in the 1920s for answers. Franz Fischer and Hans Tropsch figured out how
to make a diesel-like (or JP-8-like) liquid fuel from natural gas, coal
and even oil-refinery byproducts. More...
TESTS IN SEPTEMBERThe Air Force has created a special unit
to test the concept. A B-52 from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota
has been assigned to the group and it will be modified so that two of
its eight engines run on a blend of synthetic and JP-8. Maj. Gen. Curtis
Bedke told the Shreveport Times that ground testing will begin in early
September and they'll fly toward the end of the month. Operational
testing will be done at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Cost-wise,
the numbers may add up, given the spike in fuel prices. "The recent rise
in cost of fuel has brought us to where many think we are now at the
break-even point," Maj. Timothy Schulteis, the Air Force's propulsion
program element monitor, said in May when the program was announced.
STATE OF AWARENESS FOR BIZJETSDraconian security measures on
airliners and the corresponding upswing in the use of (and interest in)
private air transportation has led to perhaps inevitable scrutiny of the
security and safety of business aircraft. The first cautionary remarks
(that we've heard, anyway) come from Martin Rudner, the director of the
Canadian Center of Intelligence and Security Studies at Carleton
University in Ottawa. "One wants to make sure, for example, that
terrorists groups, who usually aren't short of money, don't travel
internationally avoiding aviation security and border controls by
chartering aircraft," he told the Ottawa Citizen, acknowledging that
millions of people avoid that particular brand of scrutiny every day by
traveling by car, bus, ship, train and foot. More...
WAY UP FOR CHARTERSThe security concerns were prompted by
The Citizen's chat with Canadian charter operators who are reporting a
25-percent upswing in business since the terror scare in Britain two
weeks ago prompted increased security at the 89 Canadian airports that
get scheduled service. "We've seen a trend where people are a lot more
open to the concept of doing a private jet charter," said Eddie
Kiriliuk, of Toronto-based Limo Network, which provides car and jet
services. "We don't have any heightened security measures as far as not
being able to bring electronics or liquids or anything like that."
PICKS ATC SOFTWARE AS ITS BESTSoftware originally designed
for computer simulations has become an important tool for air traffic
control centers to predict and manage the flow of aircraft traffic.
Therefore NASA has declared its Future Air traffic management Concepts Evaluation Tool
(FACET) the Software of the Year. The software crunches air traffic
and weather data across the country and can predict the trajectories of
aircraft, including climb, cruise and descent phases. It enables a
single computer to track 15,000 flights and tell controllers when and
how each is going to get to its destination. Its core technology is now
use by 100 ATC centers and has been commercially licensed to Flight
Explorer. More...
COVERS MORE GROUNDMost of the Eastern Seaboard as far north
as New Jersey now has virtually seamless automatic dependent
surveillance-broadcast service (ADS-B -- a
system that automatically and precisely reports an equipped aircraft's
position, identity and velocity twice each second) thanks to a nudge
from AOPA. The last gap was filled when the Pennsylvania Department of
Aviation agreed to partner with the FAA to set up ground stations at
four airports in the state. Now, ADS-B equipped aircraft can pick up
continuous traffic and weather information en route from Florida to New
Jersey. AOPA says it gave Pennsylvania officials a demonstration of the
technology in 2004 and that helped them decide to implement it.
ON TOP OF "THREAT" TO SATELLITE WXAOPA says it's monitoring
a couple of bills that some worry will mean the end of satellite weather
beamed to aircraft cockpits. Internet rumors are circulating that the
loss of Sirius and XM aviation weather services will be one result of
the Local Emergency Radio Service Preservation Act, which has been lying
dormant in House and Senate committees for more than a year. The bill is
intended to protect local radio stations from competition by the
satellite broadcasters by prohibiting the satellite stations from
offering content tailored to specific markets. Some have interpreted
that to cover local weather data and forecasts prepared for aviation
customers. It's an unlikely result, says AOPA's government affairs
specialist Andy Cebula, but it's also something AOPA is keeping an eye
on. More...
RESEARCH CONTINUES Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) has given Groen Brothers Aviation the green light (and $6.4
million) to continue its efforts to develop a militarily-capable
aircraft that lands and takes off like a helicopter but flies as fast
and as far as a conventional airplane. In a news release, Salt Lake City-based Groen Brothers
said DARPA had passed its submission of the third milestone of its
contract to develop the aircraft, whatever that means. Groen Brothers
are big believers in the "gyrodyne" concept for such an aircraft.
Essentially, it's a gyrocopter with jet engines on the tips of the
rotors that run only when the plane is in helicopter mode.
OTTER PRODUCTION MAY RESUMEA Canadian company is testing the
waters to see if it makes sense to resume building Twin Otters. The last
of 844 of the high-wing, twin turboprops rolled off deHavilland's
assembly line in Toronto in 1989 and Viking Air Ltd., of Victoria, B.C., says the
notoriously rugged and reliable STOL aircraft are in serious demand. "A
decent 20-year-old 300 Series fetches well over $2 million USD on
amphibious floats, making it a viable candidate for new manufacture,"
said Viking Air President David Curtis in a news release. Viking
recently acquired type certificates for the Twin Otter, Single Otter and
Beaver designs from Bombardier, which bought out deHavilland in the
1980s. Viking will hold an operator's forum in Victoria Sept. 13 and
Sept. 14 to gauge demand. An undisclosed number of order commitments
will be needed to get the project going. More...
RECORD SETThis is one record you'll never see in any
official chronicles of aviation achievements but the team behind
Vancouver's Big Shooter couldn't be happier. The "aircraft" managed to
stagger about 86 feet before falling into False Creek, an ocean inlet in
Vancouver's downtown core. That was good for a North American record for
Flugtag (means flying day in German), which is
sponsored by Red Bull (yes, the same Red Bull that sponsors those nifty
aerobatic races), and is held in about 40 cities worldwide each year.
"When I left the flight deck I thought I'm really flying. And while I'm
excited about setting a new record, I know we can fly at least 40 feet
further," pilot Mike Perreten is quoted as saying in a news release.

UPDATE. The link for the image is now available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?9cus1a0b3hcg48x
This tutorial shows how to make one for a few bucks if anything at all, as the materials are pretty common.
The initial idea was found on StevesForums.
Step 1: Gather the tools & materials.
1. DVD Case (AOL does come in handy).
2. Thin (flexible) plastic binder. Both plastics may be substituted with heavy (but thin) cardboard/matte-board.
3. Adhesive spray or fixative. Artists adhesive works, but I found that carpet adhesive works much better as it is more flexible.
4. Small piece of aluminum foil.
5. The CD Disk Tray template (right-click, "Save Link As").
The tools are as follows:
1. Razer blade.
2. Ruler.
3. Band-aids are optional but come in handy when the razor gets your finger. Trust me.
Step 2: Prepare the top layer.
Print the Disk Tray Template out on plain paper but be sure you print at the actual size! I put the measurement in cm on the tray so you can tell if it is true-to-size once printed.
Spray a bit of fixative on the plastic and adhere the paper to it. Be sure the paper fits the plastic and doesn't overhang on either side. It is okay to overhang at the bottom (see picture).
Next spray some fixative to the paper and stick an old CD/DVD to it. You may use the template (cut INSIDE the line, not ON) but I find that tracing a disk is easier than tracing a line.
Nice t o know about Pixma CD tray new things always fascinate its natural. I always search new blogs about CDs. I got new offers by Easy Replication and your post has given me new ideas. For more to know please visit
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks in advance
PS. my printer is already enabled for disc printing (EU version) , I lost my disk tray
msg me or post your email address and offer. thanks
£15.00 including carriage?
Thanks for checking the tutorial out.
I do believe the holes must be square but I am not positive. When researching I have always found advice to keep them square and so have always done it myself. Maybe someone else knows for sure? I find cutting the squares to be very easy using a razor (that is if you are using a DVD case as I did). If you are using something else that needs to be drilled it wouldn't hurt to drill round holes first as you can always try it to see.
As for the size: no, it should not make a difference. I found that if they are too long they can weigh the end down (the end sticking out of the printer as it is being printed) which tends to warp the plastic over time (this happened to mine. However if it is too short that is goes entirely into the printer it is possible to have it shift just enough to jam as it ejects, if it is not cut precisely.
Let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions. Let me know if they can be round if you try.
Here are the models I know for sure work (source):

There MAY be different trays for different printers. This tray is called a "B" type tray and I believe is the most common. I am sure there is a more extensive list out there but I don't have it, anyone else?

Condon caters to stars of the stage and screen, famous athletes and powerful politicians who have been flocking to Gallagher's - Broadway's first steak house for decades, along with less famous New Yorkers and tourists."Gallagher's serves the best of everything," said Condon. "It has a reputation to maintain, and I'm always working hard to maintain it." In keeping with that tradition, Condon added a special item to Gallagher's robust menu, just in time for St. Patrick's Day. While many people think of corned beef and cabbage as the seminal Irish dish, Condon, who grew up in Cork County in Ireland, has another favorite: Irish Lamb Stew.The dish is an old family recipe with some American adaptations that Condon developed, he said. He relishes Irish Lamb Stew because it is made with a bevy of flavorful root vegetables which grow so abundantly in Ireland. And it is so easily prepared by the home chef. Once everything is on the top of the stove, it simmers for hours and only needs an occasional stir.Speaking of the restaurant business, he's been in it for almost 30 years. "I was a bartender, and a manager, and I once owned my own restaurant," he said.Condon lives in Maspeth with his wife, Kathy. They have two grown children: 19-year-old son Michael and 21-year-old daughter Katie.In addition to Condon's duties managing the high-profile restaurant, he also gets a taste of show business. "Unnecessary Roughness," a cable show about football on MSG filmed at the eatery for 14 weeks."Every Monday one Giant and one Jet would have a debate. I would assign the loser a task like putting the garbage out or cooking a steak," he said. "Gallagher's was in the movie 'Analyze That' with Robert DeNiro and in 'Monday Night Mayhem,' the Howard Cosell movie." Gallagher's was named after Helen Gallagher, wife of original owner Jack Solomon. Gallagher's first husband, Ed Gallagher, made up half of a top vaudeville team of the time, Gallagher and Shean. (Three of Al Shean's nephews, Arthur, Leonard and Julius, also performed in vaudeville, and later starred in several movies. You may know them better by their stage names: Harpo, Chico and Groucho). After Helen died, Solomon married the owner of a highly successful floral design store. To this day, her name, Irene Hayes, appears on the prestigious flower shop at One Rockefeller Plaza, Irene Hayes Wadley Smythe. Since 1964, Gallagher's front window has displayed USDA Prime meat, kept at 36 degrees for 21 days to make it nice and tender.

I've been using this chain lube for years now. In my opinion it's one of the best chain lubes available. Being that it's not available in the states, I order it from PBK.
Was this helpful?
Nice and quiet, works really well, no drying out and sticking like the wax lubes.

In the heart of old town Leesburg, Madeleine Sosnitsky has created a treasure, and you are the lucky one to have experienced the riches of the treasure if you have had the opportunity to dine at the Eiffel Tower Café on Loudoun street. This is a real French restaurant in Loudoun County!
came to the Washington area from Paris over 30 years ago and has been
creating French culinary delights ever since.
Madeleine worked for
11 years at the famous "Sans Souci" restaurant in Washington
before she created the Vienna landmark "Pierre et Madeleine."
For 17 years they have delighted customers with their fare and they
were regularly praised in publications like the Washington Post.
Many famous people have spent an evening savoring their creations.
some time, the Sosnitskys have had a crush on Leesburg. The town
reminded them of the south of France. They felt that Leesburg was
a friendly town that was brimming with charm and history. In early
1998, they were drawn to buy their current location and open the
Eiffel Tower Café.
Tower Café changes its menu every season and there are
always different specials available. Masterpieces are made out
of prime
products such as lobster, beef, poultry, fish and of course escargots.
desserts are almost too beautiful to eat, crème brulee
and chocolate financier, a favorite among customers.
is something here to please any taste.
treats her customers the way she would want to be treated,
and it shows in the large following of loyal customers who
come from all over to dine with her.
She is exceptional. Charming, gracious, everywhere at once,
making sure that your visit to the Eiffel Tower Café
is memorable. We are lucky to have the very best of Paris
right here on our doorstep.
only is the food satisfying but so is the décor. Throughout
the restaurant you will find pictures that were painted by
Madeleine's father, and for those who want a little extra,
there is even a ghost that is said to live in the dining room
upstairs. He was a young civil war soldier. He is quite harmless,
so no need to fear.
The Eiffel
Tower Café has an outside patio and upstairs deck where you
can dine, weather permitting, as well as having several private dining
rooms available for parties, a specialty of the Eiffel Tower Café.
Reservations are suggested but walk-ins are always welcome. Dress
code at Eiffel Tower Café is nicely casual.

"We buy fresh ingredients every day, using local vendors for our vegetables and fresh herbs
Eiffel Tower is the best of Leesburg with a French accent.
--- Mary Hunter Leach, Loudoun Times-Mirror
"Eiffel Tower…Emphatically French"
One of Leesburg's most upscale restaurants… Cozy and welcoming offering appetizers, seafood, meats, and house made deserts that excelled.
--- Washingtonian Magazine
The Best Place To Dine Outdoors?
A: Eiffel Tower Café
… So I head to the Eiffel Tower Café in Leesburg
where the… service is impeccable and the setting
is pure historic district. The white wooden antebellum
house on West Loudoun Street forms the backdrop for an
enclave of 11 tables (six are large enough for four or
five people, six really good friends)…the food is
unmatched… Chef Gregory Canizzaro hails from Paris.
His repertoire runs from very French to steak and potatoes.
But steak and potatoes with a very French flair. Portions
are not nouveau. They're American style.
Menu choices run the gamut from beef and chicken to lamb
and veal and pork, to salmon, shellfish, sea scallops
and rockfish. Desserts are properly sinful.
A perfect afternoon getaway. Knock off work early, go
to the café and order some sauvignon blanc and
while away the afternoon with some mango sorbet, or warm
chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis.
---Shannon Sollinger, Loudoun Times Mirror
Eiffel Tower Café isn't really a café,
but it isn't exactly your typical restaurant either.
Unlike the other high end restaurants that populate Leesburg,
which usually serve some variety of southern or colonial
food, the Eiffel Tower is unique in its unapologetic embrace
of all things French. Hidden away in a non-descript white
house in the historic district, it may be one of the town's
best kept secrets…
The real star here is the food. With meals ranging from
seafood to steak, a plethora of chocolate desserts and
a top notch wine list, the Eiffel tower café is
a gourmand's (or avid amateur's) dream.
-- Mac Carey, Northern Virginia Magazine

Sockeye Salmon with Green Peas Puree
Napoleon and Special Red Wine Sauce
-By Chef Gregory Canizzaro, Loudoun Times Mirror
Eiffel Tower Café in Leesburg a determined effort
to capture the leisure dining experience of Europe and
the native France of owner in particular.
The food is good: the total experience is even better.
Service is unobtrusively attentive."
-Wilkinson's of Washington Post
Tower Café seems a grandiose name for this cozy French
restaurant in downtown Leesburg. The Parisian edifice is
central to the décor-in paintings and in a jaunty
version, in the logo. A visit to Eiffel Tower Café
reminds you just how wonderful French standards can be."
-Washington Post
we ask ourselves, would someone drive 40 miles to dine at
the Eiffel Tower Café? The Parisian gastronomical
adventure has been successfully transplanted at the Eiffel
Tower Café. The dining rooms are serene, romantic,
and moody, with an atmosphere created by soft lighting,
intimate spaces and the joie de vivre of the staff."
Chef Gregory Canizzaro, having worked at Tours D'
Argent and Guy Savoy in Paris, simply delights the palate.
Audible moaning in a restaurant is divine, and it can be
heard here. Escape the hectic urban pace of Washington and
relax in one of Virginia's finest French restaurants."

As a vocal performance minor in the conservatory I am required to take two semesters of Tonal Harmony and Solfege/Eurhythmics. These are only two credit classes and may seem like they should be really easy, but don't be deceived my friends. Music theory is tough stuff. Last week we were working on major and minor scales and key signatures. We were also working on interval recognition. This week we were tested on rhythms, simple key signatures, and compound key signatures. Even though the second chapter was shorter I think it was harder.
It takes time, practice, and dedication to even come close to getting an A. Everything in Harmony class is very mathematical. There is homework every night and a quiz just about every week (sometimes twice a week). The conservatory at BW is intense. There is a lot to learn and a lot expected of you. Weather you're a music major or minor you are expected to work your very hardest in your music classes. I am not trying to scare anyone away from taking these classes, I just want people to know that they are not as easy as they seem

I had the honor and privilege of paddling on Lake McDonald (inside Glacier National Park) this summer. While I would have reveled in the opportunity to swim there during a snack stop, my southern blood could only handle wading. I definitely do NOT qualify for the Polar Bear Club!

When I first heard about the PHAMExpo I was a little skeptical as Los Angeles already has two major makeup trade shows that occur annually. However, after looking into it a little more, I was impressed by their keynote speakers, Scott Barnes and Troy Jensen, and decided to check out the expo and see what it was about.
Since the show is open to the public (opposed to pro only) I decided to take advantage of the special pro hours, as there's nothing I loathe more than competing with twelve year olds wearing eight pounds of makeup in order to see who can grab lip tars the fastest. The floor was pretty quiet in the morning which I loved. I was able to purchase everything I needed and even check out some new brands without the hassle of a ton of people pushing and shoving. As the day went on, the convention filled up but it never got too crowded. It made for a great environment to actually talk to brands as well as fellow makeup artists.
Having been to many makeup trade shows in the past, I decided to pass on the majority of the education at the PHAMExpo, as I'd seen most of the speakers several times before. I did however make sure to catch Scott Barnes and Frank Glasso's keynote, and I'm so glad I did! Scott was super charismatic and had no problem sharing his makeup tips and taught us exactly how to create his infamous "glow." He made it look so easy. I loved that he used actual products from his kit, and not stuff from the exhibitors booths because he had to. It did make me wish that Dior was an exhibitor though because I'm now dying to get my hands on the airflash foundation.

Not the easiest story to follow, even the second time around, but still a very fun show with humorous improvisation and other Troubie surprises. The acting and singing were good, although there are 3 lesser known Abba songs in a row in the middle...continued

Love Abba, didn't like this show very much. However, the theater was filled with fans of this performance group, and they seemed to be loving every minute of it. I don't know what was wrong with it for me....

This good practice guide is the first in a series of workplace guides from Stonewall, the UK's leading lesbian and gay equality organisation.
It provides practical advice for employers and employees wanting to set up a lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) employee network group.
It examines the need for LGB networks in the workplace and offers step-by-step guidance for setting up a network that is an effective, long-term resource for employers and employees. It also includes tips to help existing employee networks maintain and develop their purpose.
The guide is based on in-depth research into existing LGB workplace networks. Researchers interviewed 10 organisations of varying sizes and operating in a variety of sectors. All of them are members of Stonewall's Diversity Champions programme and all have active LGB networks.
LGB networks are not a complete diversity solution but they are an important step for employers who want to demonstrate their commitment to eradicating homophobia at work.

First two recipes provided by Ms. Oley Dibba:
3 large, thinly sliced onions
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 habanero pepper (left whole, it will release aroma, not heat; seeded and minced will be VERY hot)
Juice of 2 lemons
1 bulb garlic, peeled and minced (yes, the whole bulb)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons of yellow mustard (not Dijon)
½ cup canola or peanut oil
1 chicken, skinned and cut into smaller pieces OR breast and/or thigh meat in pieces (score the meat lightly to allow penetration of marinade)
1 cup water (or enough to reach level of, but not cover, other ingredients in the pot)
Make a marinade from mixing the first 7 ingredients plus 2 tablespoons of the oil in a non-reactive bowl. Add the chicken. Cover and put in fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours. Drain chicken and grill until cooked.
Use a slotted spoon to drain and remove onions from the marinade. Fry until golden or caramelized in remaining oil. Add chicken, marinade (including whole habanero pepper) and water, making sure the water is no higher than the level of the chicken in the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes, until chicken is tender and juices have thickened to a golden sauce.
If you can't grill the chicken, sauté the chicken after the onions have cooked (first remove the onions to avoid burning), then follow as above, returning onions to the pot.
Serve with steamed rice.
1 pound stewing beef or lamb, washed and cut into 1" cubes
4 quarts water
½ pound piece smoked fish
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and chopped
1 habanero pepper (optional; carefully seeded if you don't want it too hot)
1 teaspoon ground/powdered netetu (fermented African locust bean; OR substitute 1 tablespoon Vietnamese nuoc mam fish sauce)
Salt to taste
1 large or 2 small Maggi cubes (OR substitute beef bouillon cubes)
1 or 2 boxes of frozen chopped spinach
1 and ½ cups palm oil
2 bags of frozen chopped okra
8 quart cooking pot
Put meat and water in pot, cover and bring to a boil. Add smoked fish and continue cooking, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Grind together onion, spring onion and optional habanero pepper.
Remove smoked fish. Stir in ground mixture, netetu or fish sauce, ½ teaspoon of salt, and Maggi or bouillon cubes. Reduce heat slightly and cook for 20 minutes.
Stir in spinach and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Add palm oil and okra. When sauce returns to the boil, continue cooking for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens and the oil rises to the top, stirring often to avoid the ingredients sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Return smoked fish to the pot, reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over rice, fufu, tuwo, or boiled green plantain.
Recipe below provided by Dr. Hayib Sosseh:
3 quart pot
1 cup shelled raw peanuts (with red skin attached)
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
4 cups water
Sugar to taste
Yogurt and/or sour cream to taste
In a food processor, grind peanuts to corn meal consistency. Add rice and grind for another minute or so. Bring water to the boil. Stir in 1 cup of the peanut-rice mixture and reduce heat to medium-or-lower heat to avoid scorching. (Keep the rest of the peanut-rice mixture for future use in a covered container.)
Stir continuously for 30 minutes until Chura becomes thick and creamy, with large steam bubbles slowly rising up from the bottom of the pot and "popping."
Remove from heat. Serve warm with sugar, yogurt and/or sour cream on the side for everyone to add to their individual taste.
