LJWorld.com weblogs Town Talk
From porridge to ports, new restaurant/wine bar opens at Ninth and New Hampshire
Some restaurants hang dollar bills from their walls, while others hang windows from their ceilings.
What? You haven't heard of that? It is the thing at downtown Lawrence's newest restaurant, Loopy's, which is on the ground floor of the 901 Building at Ninth and New Hampshire.
If you remember, we reported back in September that a trio of restaurant and marketing executives had teamed up to sign a deal to locate a new restaurant/wine bar in a corner of the multi-story apartment and office building.
Well, the business is having its soft opening today and expects to roll out its full menu and bar later this week. But what it already has in great supply are windows. There are dozens and dozens of windows suspended from the ceiling and hanging from the walls of the restaurant.
Billy Pilgrim, a Lawrence marketing executive and one of the co-owners of the business, said the design fits in well with the restaurant's goal of becoming a Lawrence original. "I don't think there is anything quite like it in Lawrence," Pilgrim said.
For one thing, it may be the only restaurant in town that has about a hundred people living directly above it. Pilgrim thinks a restaurant that intersects with where people live is going to have a bit of a different feel than an ordinary restaurant and bar.
As for the food, that's being handled by the other two partners in the business: David Lewis, the founder of the recently closed Milton's restaurant; and longtime Lawrence chef Sula Teller, who also happens to be married to Pilgrim.
The menu has breakfast — which will be served from 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. — lunch/dinner, and late-night options.
On the breakfast side, you'll be able to get everything from "daily porridge" — no word on whether you have to share a table with a bear — to lots of take-out items like granola, breads and pastries to slightly more complex items like a frittata or apple frangipani, which are stuffed apples with roasted nuts, toast and butter. The place also will offer a full-line of coffees, including espressos and lattes.
Lunch and dinner items include a large dose of flatbreads and pizzas. The menu includes about a dozen pizza items, including classics such as sausage and pepperoni to ones such as sweet potato and speck ham. The menu also includes salads and soups.
The happy hour and late-night menu will include the pizzas, but also will have a variety of fruit and cheese trays, gourmet olives, and plates of smoked salmon and trout. Of course the hour wouldn't be all that happy unless some adult beverages also were offered. The restaurant will have a well-stocked wine cellar, and the menu I've seen lists about 35 craft beers coming from as close as Free State Brewery to as far away as places such as California, Colorado, Canada and Belgium.
As I mentioned, the restaurant is rolling out its offerings in phases. Pilgrim told me many of the menu items are available today, but the full-line of offerings won't be available until later this week.

Still can't get over Milton's.......
Dan Blomgren 3 years, 7 months ago
The restaurant will have a well-stocked wine cellar.....................This implies an older established cellar with old favorites available. Is this the case or is it just more of the ordinary plunk that is already served downtown? It seems rather small from the street. I hope they can make it.
Chad Lawhorn 3 years, 7 months ago
I don't have a list of the wines at the moment. I just know they were planning on making quality wine an emphasis, but of course, what do I know? I've been known to throw a wine and cheese party only to find out later that nacho cheese Doritos don't count as cheese in such situations. Thanks, Chad
Terry Sexton 3 years, 7 months ago
Serious question: any examples or suggestions of a label or a vintage that one might want to to see on the wine list?
ksgaia 3 years, 7 months ago
Chad, did David ever say anymore about his decision to close Milton's?
Chad Lawhorn 3 years, 7 months ago
No, not really. As we reported, he is very excited about this concept and he told me it is much what he originally envisioned when he opened Milton's years ago. I think the more interesting thing is why Milton's wasn't sold to another operator. Sources tell me David certainly was interested in that, and that there was interest from others. I'm not sure if the appropriate lease terms with the landlord — a company out of Alma — ever could be reached to allow that to happen, or what hurdles may have stopped a sale. I'm keeping my ears open for another user for the space, though. Thanks, Chad.
Tim Quest 3 years, 7 months ago
Funny that you mention the "original vision" of Milton's. I remember when I first came to Lawrence to go to KU, Milton's was known as a wine bar and dinner spot.
blindrabbit 3 years, 7 months ago
Why successful eateries like Milton' s, Cornacopia, Drake's and Parsadise close while operating and building a loyal following. In the case of Paradise, food quality had drifted downward during the last year of operation, probably could have revived with new leadership. Anyway, how could you take time and effort to build a business and just walk away from it without any contingency. The Milto's closing story sure sounds fishy.
FarmerNuts 3 years, 7 months ago
We ate Milton's prior to closing and found it marginal at best. Hope the new venture is successful.

|Reviews for A Twisting Heart And Mind
| TheMadBunny chapter 1 . 7/10
please post the next chapter, with a story written as well as this one I'm beginning to have withdrawals.
| Guest chapter 27 . 7/5
If you're just sitting on a chapter because you're nervous: please just post it and don't be nervous. We love you're writing! Also if we could see more davion before this fic ends that would be fantastic. He's just so captivating, definetly my favorite oc.
| GobelineQueen chapter 27 . 6/29
Let me first start off by saying I am an extremely selective reader. The stories I add to my favorites are hand selected based off of what I would consider to be the best of the best. With that being said, this story is one of them. I am strictly a Labyrinth reader and I submerse myself in each and every story I read. The amount of detail you have put into the characters is amazing. You leave no stone unturned. I am a very fast and very greedy reader. One shots don't satisfy me and I very rarely read them for this reason. The length and the amount of effort you have put into this story is impressive.
I look forward to your next update!
| Brien chapter 1 . 6/28
I hope you update soon! I miss reading this amazing story. And I was just thinking that I'd HATE to see Sarah and Jareth's relationship go down hill (again) after everything thus far. The back and forth bantering started out as great but now I want them to start coming together. Sarah should totally be wary still after everything he put her through but I don't know, I'd hate to see them lose the progress they've made.
| Justine chapter 1 . 6/25
As much as I love this story, the amount of time it takes for an update is ridiculous. It has made me lose interest in the story and even forget certain parts. I know you can update more frequently if you tried, no matter what life responsibilities come up, it doesn't take months on in to update one damn chapter.
| Guest chapter 27 . 6/16
So id like to say that Roland and jareths first wife's story is officially over done now. The chapter before this was do intensely jareth/Sarah that I couldn't wait to see where it lead and when you finally update I get slapped completely away from them and thrown back to things I don't care about... Really
| Slh6a chapter 27 . 6/9
Loved this chapter! I can't wait to read more! You are one of the best authors on fanfiction!
| Guest chapter 1 . 5/24
You have made me emotionally invested in these characters. They seem so real from what little we know from canon. I'm even starting to wonder about her friends from back home and about Roland and Leiana and Jareth's brother. I totally get an 70's/80's vibe from Sarah but it's not too obvious and a very timeless vibe from Jareth. The politics and the society in this world are very interesting and make me want to learn more. If I have this, I definitely don't need a Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. Please know that we all love your story and I hope you keep updating and maybe publish a few novels in the real world.
| B.J. Gauthier chapter 27 . 5/12
This is seriously my absolute favorite chapters you have ever written for this fanfiction. I could not leave my computer until I had finished it. Which, just so happened to be until 11:30pm my time. The dynamics between Jareth and Sarah were just incredible. This was me the whole time "Oh my gosh, Jareth's opening up..." "Oh my goodness, Sarah is accepting, moving on." It was just so good. I cannot wait for the next chapter. :D
| kitcatscratch chapter 27 . 5/2
This is seriously well written. I took the time to re-read from the beginning and I am amazed at the detail you put into it. Not just into things like customs, kingdoms, power structure, etc. But the overall structure of the story. Once you read it all together, you get a better grasp of the fact that she is young, that she was abducted and terrified, and yet through it all has managed to start to rise above it and honestly, rather than a spoiled brat, I think she shows remarkable resilience at 18. And nice little bit there with Sarah starting to tap into her powers. It'd be interesting to see what the Labyrinth does. I also love what I consider the overall structure/theme of the story regarding love and humanity tempering greed and power. I think that's what the previous rulers suffered from. Greed and power without anything to temper it. Jareth's father may have been a bastard but he did one right thing and that was to not give the Labyrinth to Jareth. And the Labyrinth has the same goal as Jareth and that is the land and the people but I feel she (it) is trying to get Jareth to reach his full potential as a king but that would only happen if he can learn love, empathy, and those emotions which would keep the drive for power from becoming corrupted. Sarah is a tool for both of them but with different goals in mind.
| Anonymous Companion chapter 27 . 4/23
Literally my fav labyrinth fic. Amazing chapter!
| Reborn to Die chapter 27 . 4/22
This amazing story and your other tail, where one of the first Fanfiction stories that I had ever read. I have read them both many times and love them. Sorry I was so new to the this world I didn't know to review after each chapter. You are a spectacular writer, your stories caught me hook-line-sinker. PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING.
| Guest chapter 27 . 4/20
Great chapter!
| Aleta Wolff chapter 27 . 4/18
Achei esse capítulo super cansativo, mas bem escrito, como sempre.
| Lily chapter 27 . 4/18
I really love you, as a writer and as a person! This story is one of my absolute favourites and you write it so so well!

In his short nine months as a Deschutes County Commissioner, Tony DeBone has had to make some tough decisions. One of the most recent was the firing of Deschutes County Administrator Dave Kanner. It was a close vote on ending Kanner's contract. "It just boils down to leadership style. He's the one person leading the county. It was a 2 to 1 voted. We're moving forward. Our future looks bright. I don't have any reservations on our decision. We are now in the process of looking for the next administrator." Deputy Deschutes County Administrator Erik Kropp is acting as the Administrator on an interim basis, until a replacement is found. Kropp has informed the Commissioners he's not interested in the position, because he has young children.

Sometimes familiarity breeds respect, not contempt, and dominance engenders awe, rather than disdain. This is true with professional investors' attitudes toward Apple, AAPL 6.4963277128374886% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD102.95 6.28 6.4963277128374886% /Date(1469653200096-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 90427693 AFTER HOURS USD103.26 0.310000000000002 0.30111704711024767% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 607911 P/E Ratio 11.451612903225806 Market Cap 529502645839.676 Dividend Yield 2.214667314230209% Rev. per Employee 2050050 More quote details and news » the largest company on earth by stock-market value and the leader in creating digital devices that have gone from whiteboard to ubiquity in a few short years. For the second straight year, Apple (ticker: AAPL) was the runaway winner in Barron's ranking of the world's most respected companies, as determined by our annual survey of institutional investors.
Neither the challenge of growing rapidly from a massive sales base nor assaults by multiple global competitors on its leadership in tablets and smartphones have been able to slow Apple's business or nick its reputation. The company's revenue and earnings are poised to surge 50% in the fiscal year ending in September, on the strength of new versions of the iPhone and iPad, which in turn are feeding demand for Apple's Mac computers.
Apple's surging share price has only reinforced Wall Street's warm feelings for the company, whose shares nearly doubled to $636 in April from $325 a year earlier, before easing to $580.
BARRON'S SURVEYS PROFESSIONAL money managers annually about their views of the world's 100 largest companies, based, this year, on stock-market capitalization as of April 13 as determined by Dow Jones Indexes. Our latest survey, conducted in late May and early June with the help of Beta Research in Syosset, N.Y., elicited responses from 116 investors across the country, ranging from proprietors of small advisory firms to the chief investment officers of money-management giants overseeing billions of dollars.
Participants were asked to select one of four statements reflecting their view of each company: Highly Respect, Respect, Respect Somewhat, or Don't Respect. A point value was assigned to each response, with the highest accorded to Highly Respect, and a mean score was tabulated for each company. In the case of ties, the higher ranking went to the company with the most Highly Respect votes. The managers also were asked to rank the factors they consider most important in determining respect for corporations, and were invited to contribute comments on individual companies.
Apple's knockout results to date are even more remarkable, given that the main perceived risk to its run of innovation and sales leadership was realized last year with the death of founder and lead visionary Steve Jobs, who was succeeded as CEO by Tim Cook.
A LONG WINNING STREAK in new-product launches and the deep admiration of investors are no protection against a fall from grace in future years, as this year's stinging decline in the rankings of once-beloved corporate pacesetters makes clear.

JPMorgan tumbled to No. 49 this year from No. 14 in 2011, when it was the highest-ranked bank. The company's standing probably suffered at least in part because our survey was e-mailed to participants just before the bank disclosed a $2 billion-plus trading loss, which raised questions about its risk management and landed its formerly bulletproof CEO, Jamie Dimon, in the congressional hot seat.
Despite solid sales performance that helped its shares jump 25% in the past year, Wal-Mart sank to No. 51 from No. 18, a reaction, in part, to allegations that company executives might have bribed Mexican officials to ease store-expansion plans south of the border. Wal-Mart de Mexico (WALMEXV.Mexico), Wal-Mart's publicly traded affiliate, made its debut on our list at No. 90.
Investors' patience with Pepsico, which slid to No. 30 from No. 9, is running low, as the snack and soda maker has seen profit growth slow under CEO Indra Nooyi. Moreover, the company has resisted ever-louder calls by the Street to split its beverage and snack divisions into separate companies, much as Kraft Foods (KFT) and Sara Lee (SLE) did.
THEN THERE'S BERKSHIRE, a perennial top-five finisher since it was first included in 2006, one year after Barron's launched the World's Most Respected Companies ranking. Buffett's conglomerate was always viewed as a model of opportunistic deal-making with a long-term focus, led by the richest man ever to build a vast fortune on buying stocks and whole companies.
Yet, to judge from write-in comments and conversations with money managers, respondents don't appreciate Buffett's vocal advocacy for upper-income Americans to pay more in taxes. His vigorous support encouraged President Obama to back a minimum 30% tax rate on incomes above $1 million, dubbed the "Buffett tax" with the Berkshire CEO's approval.
Says Adrian Day, president of Adrian Day Asset Management in Annapolis, Md.: "Buffett's pseudo-folksiness is just a little too much. Also, I can't respect a company whose head wants to raise my taxes."
The emotional backlash against Berkshire and its boss has nothing to do with investors' warm regard for the assets that Buffett has spent a half-century collecting. Indeed, many Buffett-endorsed and Berkshire-owned blue-chips continue to rank highly in our survey. International Business Machines IBM -0.17887984209227734% International Business Machines Corp.

IN GENERAL, THIS YEAR'S RESULTS show an investor appreciation for pedigreed U.S.-based multinationals, which echoes the dramatic outperformance of domestic stocks amid the past year's global tumult, and the more recent outperformance of quality mega-cap shares as global growth expectations have softened.
Six of the companies ranked in the top 10 and nine in the top 14 are among the 30 members of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The rankings have always tilted toward American companies with household names, but the preference is more pronounced this year. Only one non-U.S. company--No. 9-ranked Nestlé (NESN.Switzerland)--is among the 24 most respected names, with top-notch Japanese auto manufacturers Honda Motor HMC 0.6676557863501483% Honda Motor Co.

A bit of unintended home-country bias exists because the investors polled are based in the U.S. and focus largely on domestic holdings. This makes Nestlé's top-10 showing all the more noteworthy, and a testament to the Swiss food giant's long-term orientation, top-notch global brands, and ability to produce growth in every corner of the world, in the vein of Coca Cola.
As in years past, respondents consider strong management and sound business strategy the most important characteristics of a highly respectable company, followed by ethical business practices, product innovation, and more temporal markers such as revenue growth and stock performance. This statement of priorities also fits with the blue-chip slant of the top-ranked companies. But respondents' claims that they pay less heed to share prices are belied by the tendency for long-time leaders to sink as their stocks underperform.

TO BE FAIR, any list of the world's largest public companies is apt to have a more American cast these days, as Europe's rolling debt crises and fears of a hard economic landing in emerging markets have depressed stock values on the Continent and in Asia.

Amazon's perpetually expensive-looking stock has muscled its way into the elite in the eyes of investors who evaluate business quality for a living.
"There really aren't any comparables," says Jim O'Donnell, chief investment officer of Forward Management, which oversees $5.1 billion in assets from San Francisco. "Clearly, what they're trying to do is be the Wal-Mart of the Internet, as a global retailer with massive scale and logistical expertise."
The customer experience is "tremendous" at Amazon, O'Donnell says, and so far the company has succeeded in focusing investors on its market-share and top-line growth rather than the skimpy earnings per share that routinely make the stock among the most expensive in the large-cap market. Amazon currently trades for about 180 times this year's expected profit.
To his credit, founder and CEO Jeff Bezos told investors from the start, at Amazon's initial-public-offering road show, that the company wouldn't aim to maximize bottom-line profit or try to smooth short-term results on the way to building the world's broadest, least-expensive, and most convenient buying platform.
This idea, of giving customers great deals with a hope to one day "make it up on volume," has worked so far on Main Street and Wall, where Amazon's shares have doubled in the past two years, to a recent $220.57. But investors won't be cheering if growth hits a wall or management's focus appears to stray.

Apple and its doting shareholders would do well to take note, and consider the potential obstacles to perpetual popularity.

Other investors worry that what are now small, nagging critiques, including Apple's treatment of factory workers in China and its knack for keeping its corporate tax rate low, could grow into bigger distractions.

Craig Giventer, portfolio manager at Financial Partners Capital Management in New York, says that "a lot of things have been thrown at Wal-Mart, not just this year but for the past 10 years, and the company continues to just power through and grow."
Wal-Mart has strengthened its U.S. store base by returning to its core focus on everyday low prices and broad selections, while methodically expanding in other parts of the world. "The company continues to generate decent growth and attractive returns on capital and trades at a valuation that's attractive for a world-class retailer," Giventer says.
JPMorgan already looks to have emerged from the worst of the blowback from its London whale of a trading loss. Its shares have been on the mend; its CEO has emerged from his Capitol Hill grilling unskewered, and the bank reported last week that more than half of the offending trading position had been closed out.
The sudden souring of opinion toward the bank was instructive in demonstrating how fickle investors can be, while also serving as a reminder that companies deemed to be the best of their bunch can often produce the most profound disappointments when they stumble.
Charles Bobrinskoy, research director at Ariel Investments in Chicago, says he looks for clues in investor surveys that suggest a company--and therefore its shares--might be either too ardently loved or unduly disliked by the market.
"Surveys tend to be backward-looking," he says. "People look at who has accomplished a lot and rank them highly. As investors, we have to say, 'Is all of it in the stock today?' "
Conversely, he says, it is important to ask whether a widely hated stock just might be an opportunity.
WHILE THE MOST RESPECTED COMPANIES rankings historically haven't been predictive of stock-trading patterns, the collective opinions of professional investors can serve as one component of evaluating companies. Did the fact that so many investors considered JPMorgan the best-managed of all banks exacerbate the market reaction to its trading loss? It is hard to argue otherwise.
With this in mind, one group notably disdained by the pros in this year's survey is global health-care companies. And that's even though the industry has been a strong performer, and the shares have fully worked off their unjustified valuation premiums of a decade and more ago.

Perhaps in future surveys the drug stocks will enjoy a reputational upgrade, consistent with a recognition of their improving fortunes. For now, however, investors seem to think they will be better off with an Apple a day.

Photo Of Alan Rickman And Jane Fonda As The Reagans
Oprah Winfrey just sent out this glimpse of herself with director Lee Daniels, who's doing a film called The Butler, about the title character's years of service to a succession of Presidents.
Oh, and there are two other people in the picture.
They're Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda, who happen to be playing Ronald and Nancy Reagan in the film.
Let me tell you, I just got a chill.

Pledge resistance by Everett property owner could threaten Wynn casino
EVERETT, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com/AP) -- A missing signature could threaten a billion dollar casino project.
Anthony Gattineri, co-owner of the site where Wynn Resorts has proposed to build greater Boston's only casino, has refused to sign the pledge even though the Massachusetts Gaming Commission says it will not approve a casino without assurances that criminals won't profit from it, according to the Boston Globe.
The document asks if any "secret owners," including convicted felons would profit from any casino deal.
Gattineri refused to sign the statement on the advice of his criminal attorney. He's also refused to testify under oath to commission investigators.
Convicted felon Charles Lightbody, who is currently facing identity theft charges in New York, used to be part of the ownership group.
It's not clear what, if any role, he may still have in the Wynn casino deal. A spokesman for Wynn told the Globe that the company is confident the matter will be resolved.
Wynn Resorts is competing with Mohegan Sun for the lone casino license in the Greater Boston area.

GARY CHRISTMAS, an O.C. businessman, has dedicated his life to helping an impoverished, beautiful part of Navajo Territory. He offends even as he befriends.
The squatty, circular, concrete hut is called the hooghan. It's a holy place in Navajo culture. The first night Gary Christmas spent alone in it , he heard hooves clattering on the hut's slanted roof, up one side and down the other. He hoped it was a deer.
The next morning, Navajo people told Christmas, a white businessman from Costa Mesa, he had been visited by a yee naaldlooshii, a "skin walker," a shape-shifter who tries to disrupt a human's mind with fear. But after three years and 25 trips to Navajo territory in Arizona with the intent to help Native Americans, it is safe to say skin walkers are the least of Gary Christmas' worries.
