The Brief: Texas Political News for Dec. 6, 2013
The Big Conversation
Ted Cruz made a big splash during a half-hour speech over lunch on Thursday to the American Legislative Exchange Council, covering a host of topics near and dear to the grassroots conservatives whose allegiance he'll need if he pulls the trigger on a 2016 presidential run.
Here are some highlights:
— He claimed vindication for his part in pushing the government into a shutdown while fighting to defund the Affordable Care Act. The subsequent botched rollout of the federal health insurance exchange website has changed the national conversation. "The most reasonable, pragmatic, middle-of-the-road, common-sense thing to ...

Readers' Poll
I chuckled my way through your second annual Readers' Poll (PEOPLE, March 24) and enjoyed every line.
Nancy Olivier
Metairie, La.
You were unfair to make out that the stars who got the lower ratings on your suggestion lists were losers. The way I see it, they must be doing pretty well to make these lists at all.
Robert McDaniel
Boone, N.C.
Jimmy Carter
President Carter "the most trusted" politician? Did the Ayatollah get the "most benevolent clergyman" vote? Come on, America, let's quit being so trusting and elect people who can handle the job.
Pat Crotty
Bismarck, N.Dak.
Rosalynn Carter
Women for President? I thought Rosalynn Carter was the President.
J. Dininger
Wooster, Ohio
Bo Derek
If a starlet's popularity is determined by how undressed, overrated, overexposed and overhyped she is, then Bo Derek should be a has-been by sometime around Memorial Day.
S.E. McCrum
San Antonio
Neil Diamond
I could not agree with any poll that would rate Neil No. 5. He's a No. 1.
Mary Ann Prellwitz
Arlington Heights, Ill.
Jane Fonda
"Would you like to be Jane Fonda?" By asking that instead of "Do you like..." you were implying that most women don't like themselves and would rather be someone rich, famous or controversial. I'm glad that 83 percent were able to see through your stupid question and answered no. And why didn't you ask males if they'd like to be Robert Redford and females if they'd like to marry Redford?
A. Hope
George Burns
As a member of the younger generation, I'd like to say we know we didn't "discover" George Burns. We're all tickled that an 84-year-old survivor discovered us.
Shasta Lee Hatter
Springfield, Oreg.
Bonnie Franklin
Boo, hiss, to the boring-women-on-TV findings. Bonnie Franklin has zest, enthusiasm and comes on the screen with an "alive" and bubbly personality. How about Anne Meara or Charlie's Angels, who cannot act their way out of a wet paper bag?
Nancy Shutt
Mechanicsburg, Pa.
Sexiest Athlete
Leave Bruce Jenner to the Wheaties set. In this family there are two life-size posters of Dave Kingman, one for my 4-year-old son and one for me.
Carol Ovalle
Bloomington, Ind.
Evidently the only athletes your pollees know are the ones who do TV commercials. I have three names to add: Bert Jones, Ken Stabler and Dan Pastorini.
Beluie Underwood
Jewell Valley, Va.
It's obvious your poll was taken before the Olympics and before goalie Jim Craig made his Coke commercial. Craig could also take over the "sexiest athlete" and "best-looking" categories, to say nothing of favorite TV personality. Who will ever forget him standing on the ice looking for his father in the crowd after that gold medal game?
Doreen Miller
Edmonton, Alta.
Test-tube Babies
I went to clinics for five years before giving birth to my son. Any breakthrough for couples who can't have children is wonderful. What is "repulsive" and "immoral" is abortion.
Jean Blamquist
Harvey, Ill.
Streisand & Summer
Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer the top two singers? You mean Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand. I don't give a hoot about the "t" coming before the "u."
Shiel Epps
Petersburg, Va.
The Eagles
Hurrah! Finally, my favorite group has made it as the No. 1 group in the country. No blood, no fire, no gimmicks; just great music.
Ginny Welsh
Creedmoor, N.C.
Linda Ronstadt
You failed to mention that Linda Ronstadt came in third without a 79 release. That's staying power.
Debby Maksymiw
Fairfield, Conn.
I really resent the statement: "At the bottom of the list were Chic, the Knack and of course, Kiss." Just what do you mean, "and of course, Kiss"?
Eric Harrison
San Luis Obispo. Calif.
Sissy Spacek
May I add a resounding vote for America's most accomplished lady of the silver screen, Sissy Spacek?
Barry Pack
Marietta, Ga.
She was not included because the sample was taken prior to her remarkable performance in Coal Miner's Daughter.
Deborah Harry
One-third never heard of Blondie's Deborah Harry? Next year poll some real readers.
S. Graham
Edmonton, Alta.

Brown, along with thanking the audience for supporting him and his long-running television show of the same name, spoke about a number of topics, putting the most emphasis on the importance of education today. Adding that no person in this country should be ignored and that when King spoke of opportunity it was more than just finding opportunity – it was putting it to good use.
On that note local students were honored for essays they wrote within the theme of the day's event – I am a DreamKeeper. Waverly Middle School student and essay winner Corbin Sickles read his essay, which depicted the ways in which he was a dreamkeeper and the small ways those in the audience could do the same, one example was to prevent bullying.
Finally, MSU Federal Credit Union President and Chief Executive Officer, Patrick McPharlin was honored with the King Legacy & Service Award.

Siddu justifies DKS visit to Yeddyurappa
By Express News Service - MYSORE
Published: 12th August 2013 09:30 AM
Last Updated: 12th August 2013 10:11 AM
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah justified Congress leader D K Shivakumar's visit to KJP chief B S Yeddyurappa, seeking his support for the Congress in the Lok Sabha byelections.
The CM told reporters here on Sunday that he was unaware of Shivakumar's visit but added that there was nothing wrong in seeking support from another party during the time of polls. Moreover, Yeddyurappa is not part of the BJP now, he said.
He added that Shivakumar had visited Yeddyurappa on his own and the party has nothing to do with it, he said.
Siddaramaiah said that Samajwadi Party MLA C P Yogeshwar has not asked for a Cabinet berth, in return for supporting the Congress in the LS polls. "I asked him to support the Congress because it is a secular party," he said. He expressed confidence of winning both the seats in Bangalore Rural and Mandya and said he will take part in the election campaign for eight days, four each in Bangalore Rural and Mandya constituencies.
He criticised former JD(S) MLA Srinivas for his comments on Congress candidate Ramya.
"One should be more responsible while speaking in public," he said.

|Known for

Cornelis Dirk (Cees) Andriesse (Leeuwarden, 21 December 1939) is a Dutch physicist, writer and historian of science. Internationally he is best known for his scientific biography of Christiaan Huygens.
Andriesse studied applied physics at Delft University of Technology, where he specialized in radiation physics. He obtained his engineer's degree in 1965. In 1969 he received his PhD degree from the same university with a thesis on the scattering of neutrons in gaseous argon-36.
He then worked at the Kapteyn Observatory in Roden, part of the University of Groningen. In 1978 he was the first to calculate the radiation of interstellar dust with a fluctuating temperature.[1] Only after the turn of the century Infrared observations from space showed the calculated spectrum to be characteristic of all galaxies. In 1979 Andriesse came up with a theory for the mass loss of stars.[2]
Fluctuation Theory[edit]
There are two classic explanations for the mass loss of stars by stellar winds. For stars of high luminosity radiation pressure is the driving force; for fainter stars like the Sun the stellar wind is driven by mechanical effects such as shock waves or magnetic fields. To what level a stellar wind swells, depends on accidental features of the mechanism. The strength of the wind is not easily related to the basic properties of the star (mass, radius, and luminosity).
Andriesse's fluctuation theory is a metatheory for the two mechanisms mentioned. It does not matter much which mechanism occurs in a certain star, as long as that mechanism meets certain requirements: the stellar wind must take the form of puffs that are so pronounced that they affect the equilibrium between gravitational and thermal forces of the star as a whole. Only after the equilibrium is regained, a subsequent puff may take place.
The fluctuation theory establishes a clear link between the strength of the stellar wind and the basic properties of the star, which, as mentioned above, the mechanisms by themselves cannot establish. Metatheories are not very common in astrophysics. Also fluctuations are usually ignored rather than taken as a starting point. When the fluctuation theory, which Andriesse still sees as his best work,[3] did not gain much acceptance, Andriesse left astrophysics in disappointment in 1980.
Nuclear Energy[edit]
He joined KEMA in Arnhem to investigate the safety of nuclear reactors. He was involved in melting experiments with tiny amounts of nuclear fuel.[4] While he was working on this the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred. What Andriesse and his student R. H. J. Tanke were doing with great caution on miniature scale in a safe laboratory happened there on a large scale outdoors.
In 1989 Andriesse was appointed professor of electricity supply at the University of Utrecht. This position was paid by KEMA. Commotion arose, when he expressed opinions about the safety of nuclear power plants, which were too negative in the eyes of KEMA.[5] Eventually the conflict was resolved by Andriesse moving to a position financed by the University of Utrecht. As professor of energy physics, he investigated why photovoltaic cells are more efficient in using solar energy than plants. Molecular transport in plant cells turned out to be the limiting factor.[6] For the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands he studied the Pebble Bed Reactor.[7] In 2002 Andriesse formally retired. He remained active at the Institute for the History and Foundations of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (IGG) of the University of Utrecht for several more years.
Public debate[edit]
On many occasions Andriesse has taken part in the public debate. Through the years he often asked attention for deficiencies in the techniques with which radioactive materials are treated.[8] In late 2007 he defended Nobel Prize winner Peter Debye, when there were concerns about his behavior in Nazi Germany.[9] In 2011, after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, he could be heard in the Dutch radio program Argos saying that the Borssele Nuclear Power Station had escaped disaster more than once.[10]
After age forty Andriesse started to write fiction for a general audience. In his novels, he steps back from exact science and sketches poetic, often erratic images of a disordered world. His first historical novel "Titan kan niet slapen" ((English) "Titan cannot sleep") got a place on the longlist of the AKO Literatuurprijs in 1994.

The Oral Health Of Elite Athletes At The London 2012 Olympics
13 August 2012
UCL Eastman Dental Institute has been leading an innovative research study at the London 2012 Olympic Games to investigate the oral health of elite athletes and the impact of oral health on training and performance.
The study is led by Professor Ian Needleman with Dr Paul Ashley, Dr Aviva Petrie, Professor Stephen Porter and Professor Nikolaos Donos, working with the London 2012 Polyclinic Dental team led by Professor Farida Fortune from Barts and The London.
To date, more than 300 athletes have been recruited to take part, making it one of the most comprehensive investigations of oral health in elite athletes ever undertaken.
Professor Needleman explains the purpose of the study:
"There are many potential threats to oral health in athletes including exercise-induced immunosuppression, difficulty in taking time away from training for oral care, and drinks high in sugars. Despite this, oral health does not usually appear on the radar for many athletes and little is known about such impacts on their performance.
"Several athletes during the Olympic Games so far have told us how big an effect it has had on them and we will look forward to analysing the data over the next few months."
UCL Eastman Dental Institute would like to acknowledge the fantastic enthusiasm of the volunteer dental clinic staff who worked hard to conduct the screenings. The research continues the Institute's focus on investigating the relationship between oral health and general health and well-being.

St. Ann's Bay & North Shore Community Spirit Award: the prep work & the presentation
This weekend, Lieutenant Governor Mayann E. Francis came to our community to present us with a Community Spirit Award, one of four given to exceptional communities in Nova Scotia. Of course before the award presentation a lot of organizing work had to be done. Ruth Schneider, author of the award's application, was our contact with the Lieutenant Governor's office in coordinating the two-day visit that included visits with local artisans in their shops, a Gaelic presentation at the Gaelic Singers Hall, a lobster supper at the North Shore and District Fire Hall where the presentation took place, a church service at St. Andrew's, and a cultural event at North River Hall.
On Saturday morning I had the privilege of working with my friends Marion Thompson and Jitka Zgola in collecting from our gardens and then arranging flowers for the Fire Department lobster supper. Then I spent the afternoon with volunteer firefighters Nancy Smith, Lorraine Bona, Nancy's daughter Melanie and Don Tower preparing food for the meal. These woman & Don (and other active members) are central to every event that happens at our Fire Hall, and let me tell you it's an active department both in fire and emergency calls and fund-raising, so they work -- all volunteer -- hard and long. (They are pictured in the photos above.) By all reports the event was a brilliant success. The picture of the guy in the lobster hat with Her Honour, taken by our friend Nancy Paruch, is my brother-in-law, Alistair Watt, wearing a hat given him by his sister, Sheila. When asked why he had come to the supper as most people were representatives of one or other organization, Alistair said, I'm here to represent all crustaceans.
The pictures of Her Honour and Merrill MacInnis during the award presentation and of the presentation of the community photo gift book to Her Honour by Carol Kennedy & Lisa Finney were taken by local photographer and sunrise aficionado, Jim Steele, who accompanied the Lieutenant Governor on her community rounds.
This afternoon we're off to a cultural event, a presentation by Bev Brett's St. Ann's Bay Players of scenes from her original play, Out the Meadow, as well as some scenes from last year's production of Bedtime Stories. There will also be a dramatic reading of an epic poem commissioned by the Cabot Trail Writers Festival by area writer, Bill Conall.
For an overview of the award, here's what was said in a press release about our community award.
Lieutenant Governor's Community Spirit Award
Featured Community:
St. Ann's Bay/North Shore, Cape Breton
Date of Celebration:
Saturday, July 30, 6 p.m.
Lobster Supper
North Shore & District Fire Hall, Indian Brook
Along the magnificent Cabot Trail a community is thriving – literally by design.
St. Ann's Bay/North Shore, Cape Breton Island, runs alongside the Cabot Trail with side roads from South Haven to the foot of Cape Smokey. The area is known for its beauty, its fast flowing rivers and is home to the highest waterfall in the Maritimes – North River Falls.
While the spellbinding surroundings are a reason you might visit, it's the people, their passion and their purpose living there that could just lure you to stay. This community embodies all the Lieutenant Governor's Community Spirit Award stands for and is the second of four communities to receive the award this year.
The community's roots began with the Mi'kmaw people who were joined by Gaelic-speaking Scots in the 1800s, its livelihood built on lumber and fish, trapping and lobster. Today, a robust lobster fishery continues – joined by a community of widely recognized artists who create a vibrant economy from award-winning leather, writing, magazine publishing, fiddle-making, iron work, photography and theatre – which some say is 'at the heart of the art of community collaboration'.
In addition to residents designing their own lives, this community has taken great pride in designing its future – a future built on a foundation of commitment. In 1992 a community survey asked, "Do you see yourself or your family living in this community 10 years from now? " 82% said yes. Since then, the community has strategically focused on social development, health, education and security – knowing these all lead to economic prosperity.
St. Ann's Bay/North Shore – "A community where people live by choice – not by circumstance."
A New Horizon's grant called "I have something to share" brings young and old together learn to build a 12' Herscoff design tender. Now completed, the boat was raffled off to raise funds for the fire department.

Greenpoint's New Bowling Alley: Time-Warp Look and Prices to Match
Sauntering into The Gutter (200 North 14th Street) on a recent Sunday night felt as though we'd just exited a time machine. Greenpoint's new saloon/bowling alley is also Brooklyn's first new bowling spot in nearly 50 yearsand feels about that old already: The capacious bar, with its blond-wood paneling, stained-glass Busch and Old Milwaukee chandeliers, and (in the most authentic of touches) NFL action blaring from a rabbit-eared TV, is a ready-made set for an Abel Ferrara cop breakdown or a John Cassavetes slap-fest. And that's the genius of the Gutter, the latest of two L-train-accessible establishments brought forth by partners Jon Miller and Paul Kermizian, formerly known for bringing Tetris back, with booze, at their first watering hole, Williamsburg's Barcade. Three years after that success, the partners have perfected their theme-bar aestheticnot just providing twenty- and thirtysomethings with a juxtaposition of two old favorites (old-school video games and alcohol, in Barcade's case), but actually creating an environment that fully transports one to another place and time. It's uncertain whether the Gutter best evokes the '80s or the '60s, Staten Island or Kansas City, but it's wherever a dusty traveler first encountered bowling shoes, orange plastic chairs, and a rowdy bar that allowed outside pizza delivery.
The beer and bowling here are appropriately priced for the Cold War years, too. A game is a mere $7 a person during peak hours ($6 before 8 p.m.), plus a $2 standard for shoes. (Compare that to Bowlmor's $9.95 a game or Chelsea Piers' outrageous $6 shoes.) Or play by the lane by the hour for $36 during happy hour (prior to 8) or $42 thereafter. Smart strikers will swing by and take a number before dinner: The wait to bowl the night we visited was two hours, as a few of the bar's eight lanes had gone temporarily kaput. Expect to wait that long even if everything's in order on Friday or Saturday, or show up on a weeknight for more instant gratification.
On Sunday, our friend, upon scanning the three separate birthday parties occurring simultaneously, noted that it was "like Chuck E. Cheese for twentysomethings." Perhaps, but in the best possible way. Though some birthday revelerslike the man who pegged me with a Skittle while we interviewed his friendwere clearly regressing (did he have a crush on me?), other revelers were more polite. Furthermore, the bar's focus on beer12 on tap, including such niceties as Sixpoint Sweet Action sold by the pitcher ($21) or the pint ($6), plus eight varieties served in 22-ounce bottles (try the Rogue Chocolate stout)is a quick reminder that the neighborhood's "Mommy and Me Yoga" set has yet to establish a toehold here. There's no Bumper Bowling invasion in sight.
More Greenpoint Go-To's
Black Rabbit Lazybones, rejoice: This new spot has perfectly gimmicky booths with call buttons to alert servers when you're ready for another! The booths are enclosed with low swinging doors, lending them a few extra points on the quaint-o-meter, but affordable $3 cans of Guinness, $5 tap beers (including refreshingly oddball imports like Bitburger), and $7 Dark and Stormys are strong points, too. And while the drinks may be easy on the wallet, the d�cor is decidedly swanky: The space is done up in a sophisticated Algonquin Hotel look, with dark lacquered woods and reading lamps lining the bar. 91 Greenpoint Avenue, 718-349-1595
Coco66 Forrest Gump's quote about a box of chocolates could be applied to Coco66, which is co-owned by the guy who runs the Brooklyn Chocolate well-dressed fiftysomething businessmen sip Scotch (Johnnie Walker Red Label, $7); greasy-haired hipsters stay focused on the DJ (who occasionally plays Britpop, punk, and classic rock); and college types wait for their turn at pool in the large back room. You really never know what you'll get here. 66 Greenpoint Avenue, 718-389-1531

For some parents, it can be difficult to fully accept that they have a child who has a disability, disorder or special need.
For men, this can be particularly tough. As a father who once was in a state of "false acceptance," I can understand the reasons.
The added needs of my children did not meet the picture of life that I had for myself and my family.
As a result, I went through the motions of very hard work that I did not enjoy.
Today, I realize it was partially because I created my own version of the truth as to how two of my three children — Gwendolyn, 8, and Eliza, 16 months — ended up with cerebral palsy.
The stories of their brain injuries are tragic, but that's about it — they are just stories.
I worked harder in my career, thinking status would make life better.
Sometimes, I would sit and wait for brighter days to come. They never did.
Now, I know that the future I wanted also was skewed. It was never as good as I expected or as difficult as I thought it would be once it arrived.
Right now is all I will ever have.
This realization has created more passion in being a father.
My interactions with therapists, doctors, nurses, teachers, friends and family will provide the most fundamental changes in my children, not the stories of how they got there.
I'm giving my children everything I can "right now," which I believe will ensure they will live a life beyond what I can imagine for them.
By not getting too far ahead or looking too far behind, the focus I have on them — right now — gives me the ability to always accept my daughters' conditions.
Most importantly, that acceptance is the purest act of hope I can give.

Crusader Kings II
is it just me or does the new heir of a kingdom gets disloyalty fast from all of the vassals.
Yes, it's a game mechanic. First 10 years of the new leader has quite disloyal vassals. After 10 years things improve.
If my memory serves me right from previous paradox games you can edit all of the main skills, traits and even birth dates of characters in the "\Crusader Kings II\history\characters\" folder. If you want fast research just play with those and voila. Also the savegame is just as editable. Notepad++ works best for editing them.
I remember in the original Crusader Kings I made myself my own dynasty and my own custom starting duchy.

Strength Monday – 04/23/12 (w/ Bonus Superhero Habits)
In my quest for lean superhero-ness, I'm following the Wendler 5/3/1 strength training program. Twice a week, Dave and I are hitting the craptastic gym in our Converse to lift heavy and crank through a mini-metcon.
Back from the beach — back under the barbell.
A few things I should mention now that I'm back at the gym and my desk:
1. I drank some serious pina coladas on my half-vacation.
I also ate potato chips (!!!) and corn tortilla chips; did some damage to a platter of fried flour tortillas with guacamole; inhaled a piece of French bread; licked up homemade spicy cream sauce made by Carlina for a dinner party on our patio; and doused everything with more than my fair share of Salsa Lizano which definitely contains some sneaky-deaky, non-paleo ingredients. I relaxed my eating rules for the week and found a pretty good balance between enjoying myself and taking care of myself. Breakfast was eggs or leftover meat with plaintains and sautéed cabbage — I took my Hot Plates on vacation with me — but I definitely indulged in some afternoon cocktails and, oh, yeah! I forgot about the almond cake Dave and I ate at Cantarana Restaurant.
2. Working out on vacation totally rocks.
Dave and I have enjoyed some of our best runs while on vacations all over the place. It's a far cry from the "old me" who packed workout gear and shoes countless times, only to let them languish in a suitcase, carted back and forth on planes without ever being used. It was running and CrossFit that finally broke the exercise-on-vacation curse. Running is one of the most fun ways to explore a new place, and a 10-minute CrossFit workout, like our Tropical Tabata, allows me to work up a sweat that makes me feel like I deserve my vacation. A good workout on vaca also reminds me of who I am in "real life" so I don't lose myself in vacationland.
3. I am as pale right now as when I left home.
And I'm so glad! I enjoyed 15-20 minutes every day in direct sunlight to charge up my Vitamin D machine, and the rest of the time, I was smart about seeking out the shade as much as possible, without putting the damper on my fun or coating myself in sunscreen. It was liberating to not be so worried all the time about if it was time to re-apply. (See the Paleo Parents for a post from Paleo Mama on "How To Avoid Sunburn Naturally.")
4. I'm on 35 days of wicked clean habits.
On May 26, Dave and I are off to Maya Tulum for a yoga retreat in Mexico. I know! It all seems very indulgent, doesn't it? We'd already booked our trip to Mexico when we got the invite to Costa Rica, and as I explained in this post, I thought it was really important for my personal growth to accept the Costa Rica challenge. Now that I'm back from my debauchery on the beach, I definitely need to give my new supplement routine from Dr. Sebring an opportunity to work, and that means minimizing the number of variables we're juggling in this Mel Experiment™. So I need to kick in all my superhero training habits: strict diet, 8 hours of sleep every night, smart training, meditation and yoga — everything I can do to support the supplements while they work to balance out my whackadoodle hormones. I'm pretty excited about these next few weeks, actually. I'm rejuvenated and invigorated. Plus, I have a new notebook to take notes every day for the next 35 days, and I love an excuse for a new notebook! But it's gotta be the Mead college-ruled composition book, like this: (I should also confess that I like really sh*tty black Bic ballpoint pens, too.)
This morning, it felt great to hit the craptastic to move some iron. It's the beginning of our fourth month with the Wendler 5/3/1 program, and I'm excited to see the progress we've been making.
5:00 treadmill run
10 slow PVC back squats + 10 rotations
10 slow PVC OH squats + 10 rotations
10 goblet squats w/ 16kg kettlebell
10 behind-the neck press + 10 good mornings
PVC shoulder mobility
5 @ 65% of max = 110#
5 @ 75% of max = 135#
max reps @ 85% of max = 145# – I did 9.
Overhead Press:
5 @ 65% of max = 55#
5 @ 75% of max = 65#
max reps @ 85% of max = 70# – I did 7.
No sweatcon today! I was a guest speaker in a class called "Sociology of Sports" at Huston-Tillotson University today. I got to talk about my Roller Derby days.
Did you workout today? Tell us about it!

45 minute brisk walk in the early morning Colorado sunshine with my faithful 4 legged best friend! It was an awesome way to start my day.
Woman! I, too, have been devoted to those very same composition books– since high school! And they have to be college ruled. I also love the crappy bic black ballpoint, but it has to be a fine point, and those are hard to find. As are college rulings. When I find them both, I snap them up. They are the black Chuck Taylors of stationery supplies.
Hey, I'm going to start running again, all because of you and the zombies. Thanks for the tip.
I love this. I only fantasize about such things as flour tortillas. I will live vicariously now and then. If only I could get myself to follow your lead in the area of exercise.
Hi Mel! Your vacation sounds kick-ass. It makes me super-excited to run on the beach (and maybe improvise a few Great Lakes Tabata workouts)when I head up to Lake Michigan with my fam at the end of July.
Today I took a breezy 10 mile bike ride and hit up the gym for some squats, deadlifts and box jumps. Then I ran up and down the stairs leading up to the gym for five minutes and biked home.
Yes, I did workout today! Set my alarm for 5:30 and was at the gym by 6:00. Felt like I had already accomplished so much by the time I got home just around 7:00 and loaded with energy too. Even now, as I write this (almost 10pm), I'm not exhausted like I usually am. Since I felt so good today, I'm planning on doing it again tomorrow.
Very jealous of your trip to CR – was there about 10 years ago on my honeymoon and would go back in a heartbeat. We were in a few different areas, but the most memorable was an eco-lodge called Lapa Rios in the very southernmost peninsula. Slept (barely) three nights there with an uninvited guest in our hut – a "baby" boa constrictor. But the ocean, the rainforest hikes, the surfing, the fishing, the people and the food definitely outweighed the boa. And yes, we came back with several bottles of Lizano salsa in our bags (that was waaaaaaaay before Paleo was in my lexicon). Glad you had such a great trip. There's so much to see and it's all so varied so if you ever get a chance to go again, jump on it!
OMG I am planning a yoga trip to Maya Tulum, too! I cannot believe y'all are headed there! I have been combing through all the yoga retreats listed on Maya Tulum's website trying to decide which one I should do, or if I should just go for the standard regular yoga package offered by the hotel. Which are you doing, and how did you decide???
Hi —
Your vacation looked wonderful! I was just curious about the running. Do you run a limited amount? I've been reading other blogs and it seems that some other Crossfit coaches don't recommend running very often (especially for women). It seems like it is more long distance/marathon running that they are against. Before I started Paleo I ran and enjoyed it. I never did more than 6 miles, and probably now only run a couple of miles. Just curious what your take was on it.
Thanks for sharing your Paleo journey! I have your cookbook and have really enjoyed your blog 🙂
Welcome back!
2 CF workouts today.
CrossFit workout! 4 min. AMRAP 10 dead lifts and 25 double unders, followed by 30-20-10 box jumps and toes to bar. It was crazy awesome! Are you doing CrossFit as well as the strength work?
Hi Melissa,
Crossfit workout today:
50 double unders (sub- SSD-25)
40 squats
20 jumping pull ups
10 Thrusters (53#)
400M run
10 Thrusters (53#)
20 jumping pull ups
40 squats
50 double unders (sub- SSD-25)
Time: 16:08
Amazing !!!
Welcome back.
I passed my CrossFit elements test last night!
I'm still having issues with squats, though, due to some under- and over-development issues in my adductors, quads, and glutes (I'm guessing 22 years of bellydance with no cross-training is the culprit). So I've been advised to continue attending the elements classes and doing one-on-one "squat therapy" with the coaches until they're no longer worried about my knees caving in (even on air squats).
But YAY I passed the movements test and did my first Fran!
*iz excited*
4 rounds:
400m run
25 russian twists w/14# med ball
15 jump squats
10 burpees
Fun stuff!
I also have an unnatural love for crappy Bic pens, (the ones you find at hotels, with the white body and black cap) sadly they seem to have vanished from stores, at least where I am.
Let's hear it for crappy Bic pens. Woo Hoo!
My favorite is the clear-barrel, blue ink version. I have a little rubber 'grippy thing' on mine (as an aftermarket accessory). 🙂
And let me tell you, when I misplace it…all hell breaks loose until it's found.
I love my Bic pen.
P.S. Are we crazy, or what? LOL!
I have been following you blog for awhile now, and am gaining inspiration to begin my crossfit journey…
As a mother of 2 (4 yrs and 1 yr) plus working full time I am struggling to find time to take care of myself. I have decided that this summer will be my time! I am nervous and intimidated by crossfit but know it will be the kick in the pants I need to get me to where I want to be.
Thanks for the great blog!

After the final two curvy contestants visited Luke Conley's hometown of Santa Maria, Calif., met his family and broke bread one last time, More To Love's big-boned bachelor confirmed he'd found what came for -- someone to spend the rest of his life with -- when he popped the question to the 26-year-old fashion stylist/decorator/ aspiring model Tali on the season finale Tuesday.
"I'm in love and ready to express that in the most profound way," the 26-year-old subcontractor and real estate investor explained on his way to the backyard of the mansion where all participants had lived. "This is the girl who I want to spend the rest of my life with. Tali is the type of woman who'll help me achieve all the goals I have."
The raven-haired Israeli beauty arrived in a bejeweled watercolor print goddess gown, swearing in voiceover that she'd "never been in love the way she was with Luke. This is on a whole different level. I want to be the one he picks at the end and calls his fiancee."
She got her wish despite getting noticeably nervous when Luke brought up their much-debated religious differences and the obstacles they would undoubtedly face if they chose to marry. He started, "In the beginning, I made a promise to love you for who you are and I do. I love you with all my heart. You love me for who I am, as I am. You make me a better man."
When he dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him, she said she couldn't breath and trembled. But she squeezed out a "yes" and "I love you" while he slid on a sparkling Ben Bridge diamond engagement ring. Then the screaming, passionate kissing and twirling bear hugs began. "Thank you for being you and for having faith in us," she said. "Dreams come true. Love does not have a shape or size. It's the size of your heart that matters. For all the big girls out there who think they can't find love, I'm living proof."
Before Conley could ride off into the night with his new fiancee and end the "happiest day of his life," he first had to deal with the "hardest breakup he'd ever faced." His chemistry with Malissa was instantaneous. She was even the first contestant he kissed. Luke had previously worried that she was "just in it to win it" and not as interested in a lifelong commitment. During their final date, she had laid all her cards in the table. "If you asked me to marry you, yes, a thousand times yes," she had told him.
While he had previously said, "I love you," he explained on the finale, "there is a difference between loving someone and being in love with someone. You are a beautiful woman. You have a fun and adventurous side that I adore. I feel like our lives could be woven together so easily, but my heart belongs to somebody else."
She quickly excused herself after he delivered the crushing news, but allowed him to walk her to the car. Once inside, she let the tears flow freely. "Everything felt so right. I can't believe I was so wrong," she said. "What makes her better than me? What's missing? I didn't expect to fall for somebody, to love somebody, to find it here. But I did." --Carrie Bell

New thinking on global warming
Opinion According to a report issued by a committee of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 2002, severe change in the earth's climate can take place in less than a decade. This runs counter to the belief widely held as late as the 1980s that any significant change in average temperature over the earth's surface would need centuries to be noticed.
The Rosenbergs and the Cuban Five
Opinion Political frameups of pro-labor, antiracist and antiwar activists are nothing new in U.S. history. The Haymarket martyrs, Tom Mooney, Sacco and Vanzetti, Angelo Herndon, Angela Davis: these are just a few of the most celebrated cases where government authorities used trumped-up evidence to railroad innocent people to jail or to the death chamber.
Freedom Ride building solidarity and unity
Opinion As the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride travels through 81 cities across the country, the impact is sure to reverberate far and wide.
War theater of the absurd
Opinion According to Senator John Warner (R-Va.), the new Pentagon "terrorism futures market" will be "immediately disestablished." This is a reassuring thought, given the idiocy and ridiculousness of the idea in the first place.
Bushs clear sky lies
Opinion It might seem like a long way from the dangerous streets of Baghdad to the smog-laden cities of the United States, but the two share one thing in common: both have been the subject of massive misinformation campaigns by the Bush administration.
Some modest advice for the Democratic candidate
Opinion I'd like to offer some friendly advice to whoever ends up as the Democratic Party candidate for President – a word or two to the wise, so to speak.
The military privatization scam
Opinion Here in sunny San Diego, a petty officer from Chicago told me sailors now have to pay $7 a day from their basic allowance for subsistence (BAS) for the luxury of eating that good ol' Navy chow, whether they eat the Navy food or not.

Kim Novak will be in attendance at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, festival organizers have announced. Novak will be present at a Cannes Classics screening of Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 psychological thriller Vertigo, which has been recently restored. For all it's worth, Vertigo was the top movie at the most recent (2012) Sight & Sound decennial poll of film critics and filmmakers. (Image: Kim Novak Vertigo.)
Vertigo was also a source of controversy in early 2012, when Kim Novak took out an ad in one of the trade publications claiming she felt she had been violated ("I want to report a rape") after finding bits from Bernard Herrmann's Vertigo music in Ludovic Bource's eventually Oscar-winning The Artist score.
Besides the Vertigo screening, Kim Novak will also be a presenter at Cannes' closing ceremony on Sunday, May 26. According to the festival's press release, Novak first attended Cannes in 1959, for the presentation of Delbert Mann's May-December romantic drama Middle of the Night, co-starring Fredric March.
Kim Novak movies
Besides Vertigo and Middle of the Night, Kim Novak's other key movies include Joshua Logan's Best Picture Academy Award nominee Picnic (1955), co-starring William Holden and Rosalind Russell; Mark Robson's Judy Holliday-Jack Lemmon comedy Phffft (1955), which gave Novak the chance to display her flair for comedy; and George Sidney's musical Pal Joey (1957), as one of two beautiful women – Rita Hayworth was the other – in (undeserving) singer Frank Sinatra's life.
Starring Tyrone Power, the musical biopic The Eddy Duchin Story (1956) was a huge hit, while George Sidney's biopic Jeanne Eagels (1957), though less popular, provided Novak with the opportunity to go dramatic.
Also of note are Richard Quine's Bell, Book and Candle (1958), with Kim Novak as a witch, and Quine's melodrama Strangers When We Meet (1960), in which she has an adulterous affair with Kirk Douglas.
Also of note: Billy Wilder's comedy Kiss Me, Stupid (1964), co-starring Ray Walston and Dean Martin, which was much criticized upon its release but that has since found a devoted following; Robert Aldrich's Sunset Blvd.-like The Legend of Lylah Clare (1968), with Peter Finch and Ernest Borgnine; and, for sheer weirdness, David Hemmings' Nazi era-set Just a Gigolo, a 1978 mess of a movie that's a must-see thanks to its cast: Novak, David Bowie, Sydne Rome, Curd Jürgens, Maria Schell, and Marlene Dietrich.
Kim Novak today
Kim Novak, who turned 80 last February 13, currently spends much of her time painting and enjoying nature (and her llama herd) in her Oregon ranch. Her last appearance in front of the camera was in Mike Figgis' Liebestraum (1991), which, according to her, wasn't exactly a great experience: "Ah, same old Hollywood. I don't need this."

Flush Out Those False Beliefs!
It's very easy to answer the question "what's wrong" in your life?
But how about what's "not wrong?"
And what about what's "right?"
It's a wonderful thing to have a non-headache or a non-toothache, but so often we do not think of the joy of not having these problems until we experience them and then wish them away.
This exercise can help us redress the balance of what's really right and wrong in our life
Get two blank sheets of paper.
On one piece of paper, list all of the things that are "wrong" in your life - don't be afraid to be negative - get it all out!
On the other, write a list of all the positive things in your life right now, including everything that's "not wrong."
When you have finished, place the two pieces of paper side by side and ask yourself
What is of the greatest use to me and what serves me most - to focus on what's "Wrong" or what "Not Wrong'?"
When you have decided which list is best for you to dwell on, discard the list you do not wish to focus on - throw it away, maybe even bury or burn it, if you wish to make this a memorable event.
Try reading the remaining list every morning for a week and see what happens!
Do you feel stressed and harassed during the day, like you're always doing things to please others rather than yourself?
Do you have problems making decisions about insignificant matters?
Are you unsure about what it is you really want?
Do you find yourself doing things you really don't want to do and continually acting out of obligation?
Part of being an adult is learning to put the needs of others, such as our children or employer, ahead of ourselves. But we can become so used to doing what we feel we should do, or living by the expectations of others that we lose touch with ourselves.
If we stop listening to our hearts voice, eventually we won't recognize it. Then we wonder why our life is so dry and un-spontaneous!
We need to re-open the conversation with our heart - to remember how to listen to our heart and not just our head.
Here's how to recognize your hearts voice:
When you're feeling stressed or that you feel you have lost your center, ask yourself two questions,
1. "What am I feeling now?"
2. "I would like ?"
Try to listen to the first thought - which will be from your heart - not your head which comes in with chatter and rationalizing afterwards.
If the message from your heart is possible and practical - then do it- take a break, call a friend, pop out for a coffee, jump up from your desk and shout "Yes!".
If this impulse is not realistic, or merits some reflection - like quitting your job - just note your hearts message until its convenient to follow through, but be careful - this habit is life changing!
Why not try following your heart and doing one spontaneous thing every day?
And if you really want to be immature and have fun in a boring, "grown up" situation, ask yourself:
"What would I do if I was 5?"
We often feel stuck between a rock and a real hard place.
At these times of stress we can often only see two rather unpleasant options.
But we are blessed with a mind that can imagine of infinite and myriad possibilities - and here's a tool to get your creativity flowing and demonstate that.
You can use this tool to expand and stretch your habitual mental pattern of only seeing limited options.
Scenario: Imagine there is a hungry mosquito in the room whilst you are trying to sleep.
Now imagine at least twenty possible responses - no matter how crazy.
Even something like "calling up the pest control at midnight to come and deal with it."
When you've finished, scroll to the bottom of the page to read a possibility you may have overlooked!*
Now you've got your creativity flowing, write down your problem then ask
How else could I think about that?
What's another way of looking at this?
Who could I ask for a new perspective?
Try and come up with twenty new and different ways of looking at your situation.
When we are single, we usually have just a vague idea of what our ideal partner might be.
But it is very useful to put time into defining this person, because then when you meet them - you will be able to recognize them straight away!
This tool helps you imagine the qualities of your dream partner.
By asking yourself some questions about your dream partner you can create a clear picture of them in their mind.
When you have finished, you will have a list of the qualities you would like in a future partner.
Replace "He" and "She" below as appropriate.
Part I: Questions To Discover Your Future Partners Qualities
What qualities do you want your potential partner to demonstrate?
Think about your answers to these questions to get some ideas:
"How does he make me feel special?"
"What does she do when I'm sick in bed?"
"How does he show affection?"
"How does he treat me in company when we go out?"
"How does he make me laugh?"
"Her most important quality is "
"The best thing about him is "
For example:
Question: "How does he treat me in company when we go out?"
Qualities: He is respectful, attentive and kind.
Part II: Identifying Your Partners Qualities
In Part I you wrote a list of the qualities of your Future Partner.
But when you meet someone, how will you know if they have those qualities?
Now, write down examples of how they will express those qualities and what actions and behavior will demonstrate those qualities.
For example:
Question: "How does he treat me in company when we go out?"
Qualities: He is respectful, attentive and kind.
Behavior: He is attentive and considerate to me, and kind to the waitress.
Part III: Your Qualities
This is often the part people overlook.
Love is not what you get, but what you give. Harley M Storey
Now write down the qualities you will bring to the relationship.
So ... how well do you know your partner?
Do you think you know their favorite movie? What about their favorite day of the week?
This is a fun quiz to do with you and your partner where you're bound to discover a lot of surprises!
Get together with your partner.
Print two copies of this questionnaire (an easily printable copy on pdf is available in 20 Tools Life Coaches Use
Take one copy each and separately write down the answers you think your partner would give to the following questions.
When you have finished, swap your lists, score each other and laugh!
What do you think their

What Explains the Variation in Estimates of Labour Supply Elasticities?
Michiel Evers
Tinbergen Institute - Economics
Ruud A. De Mooij
International Monetary Fund (IMF); CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute); Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation
Daniel J. van Vuuren
CPB Netherlands Bureau of Economic Policy Analysis
December 2005
Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute for Economic Research Working Paper Series No. 1633
This paper performs a meta-analysis of empirical estimates of uncompensated labour supply elasticities. We find that much of the variation in elasticities can be explained by the variation in gender, participation rates, and country fixed effects. Country differences appear to be small though. There is no systematic impact of the model specification or marital status on reported elasticities. The decision to participate is more responsive than is the decision regarding hours worked. Even at the intensive margin, we find that the elasticity for women exceeds that for men. For men and women in the Netherlands, we predict an uncompensated labour supply elasticity of 0.1 and 0.5, respectively. These values are robust for alternative samples and specifications of the meta regression.

At its most basic, the sharing economy states: You have a ...Read More »

This is high current 12V power supply. Power supply uses LM7812 IC and can deliver up to 30A to the load by the help of the TIP2955 pass transistors. Each transistor can handle up to 5A and six of them result an total output current of 30A. You can increase or reduce the number of TIP2955s to get higher or lower current outputs.
In this design the IC delivers about 800mA. A 1 amp fuse is connected after the LM7812 to protect the IC against high current transients.
The transistors and the 12V regulator IC both require adequate heatsinking. When the load current is high, the power dissipation of each transistor also increases so excess heat may cause the transistors to fail. Then you will need a very large heatsink or fan cooling.
100Ω resistors are used for stability and prevent current swamping as the tolerances of dc current gain will be different for each transistor.
The bridge rectifier diodes must be capable of passing at least 100 amps.

text: LISBON - In Columbiana County Municipal Court Friday, a March 4 pretrial was set for James O. Moats cited with prohibition against violations by the Columbiana County Board of Health. Court documents allege Moats, 75, U.S. Route 30, Kensington, was sent a notice of violating nuisance laws by open dumping and burning solid waste on his property. He was ordered in May to correct the issue within 30 days, but allegedly has failed to do so.

Police seek suspects in two separate bike thefts
DENVER — The Denver Police Department asked Friday for help in locating two alleged bike thieves.
The first suspect was captured on an elevator security camera, DPD said.
The victim reportedly locked his bicycle to a bike rack located in the 500 block of 16th St. on July 7. The suspect then allegedly cut the bicycle lock off by an unknown means and removed the victims bicycle without his permission.
Separately, police were looking for another suspect seen driving a green Land Rover into an unidentified parking structure on July 1. That suspect is thought to have stolen multiple bicycles by loading them into his vehicle.
The license plate seen on the SUV does not match the vehicle and may be fictitious, police said.
Anyone with information in either theft was asked to call police at 720-913-7867.

Baton Rouge Restaurant Week is days away! NOLA.com reporter Chelsea Brasted provided a complete overview of the event, listing participating restaurants and highlighting the bartender competition on July 11.
So now I'm plotting. Of the $35 prix fixe options available this Restaurant Week, which shall I choose? I specify the $35 tier because typically, during Restaurant Week, I like to hit up one of the restaurants that is normally out of my price range. An appetizer, entree and dessert at a place like Little Village or Mansurs on the Boulevard is a bargain in my mind (even if the portions are smaller).
So which participating restaurant do you see yourself dining at this restaurant week? Vote in the poll below, and then tell me your favorite dish at the restaurant you voted for in the comment stream.

To Fly on Metal Wings
E. Jacob Riley
Perfect vision and still no perspective.
Captain E. Jacob Riley is a well-built Human male, perhaps late 20's. Quite handsome when he remembers to groom, quite roguish when he forgets. His features are sharp and sleek, though his manner oscillates between a lazy disinterest and rash reconsideration. His shortly cropped light brown hair would make his bright blue eyes shine were he not focused on golden stars embroidered upon the tricorne in his hands. Twin pistols hang at his right side, one at his hip and the other on his thigh. To those with a quick eye, a larger, majestic firearm remains unused on his left, tucked neatly behind his back. A streamlined dark blue coat with gold trims, shifting and pulsating with Resonant power, covers a tarnished angular breastplate. A thick leather belt with an heptagonal buckle sits on his hips.
Riley's magic manifests with a flame and electricity motif. When he concentrates, spells manifest with a blue flame and sparks. The air around him crackles with static from time to time, and when he becomes agitated small blue flames and sparks dance off his knuckles.
Most striking about Captain Riley's Resonant characteristics are his eyes – electric blue, more vibrant than the most extravagantly dyed clothes. From time to time you may have noticed other attributes of those eyes – how he writes for hours by lantern, but never rubs his eyes; noticing the smudge on your goggles from across the bridge; or perhaps knowing exactly where your enemies were, despite the midnight ambush.
|Interests and Goals
Nominally, the Captain's standing orders pertain to the "Sacred Preservation of the Ever-Precarious Balance of Natural Forces". As of late, he has been goaded by several dubious unknowns into a continual state of guilt. His official orders are to strengthen Fort Rochelle and CITADEL's forces by whatever means necessary. While still unclear as to his very nature, more and more people reveal themselves to be expecting great things from Riley. For some, he is the Seed that shall destroy all things; for others, he is the only hope while greater forces than he are distracted. Only one thing is clear: power is gathering in the hands of important souls, human and gnome, angel and mortal. CITADEL is building an army, and it may be Riley that holds it together…
Though clearly no fool, the Captain is neither the most clever nor clear-headed commander. His personal agenda seems clear and simple enough: do his job, protect his people, and avoid all mention of the King of Stars… until the time is right.
Whatever that means.

London's Best Restaurants Today: The Cream of the Capital's Crop
By Arianna Reiche
London Local Expert
Forget everything you think you know about British food – the boiling, the kidney pies, the Dickensian gruels. The nation has suffered a rather disparaging reputation (which has not been entirely undeserved – Beef Wellington is still a thing) but any food-minded traveler worth her salt will know that London's got oodles to offer. The last decade has seen London rival Paris and New York for dining prestige, and partaking in London's continental classics and New World innovations could take up an entire visit . In a nutshell, you'd be well advised to go in with a solid foodie game-plan. If you're after restaurants with big names at the helm, you've got options. If you're after cult favourites, you're in good company (just be ready to queue). And if you're happy to stick with the long-standing classics, then we applaud you. Some institutions are institutions for a reason. For all you foie gras fans and squid junkies, we've done our best to make navigating this magical city a little bit easier. We've narrowed down our top ten favourite restaurants in London, and as one might imagine, our picks came from a vast, robust, and hugely tasty pool. So go forth and nibble, and be sure to leave a friendly review however you can; London food is undergoing a total image overhaul, and you're lucky enough to be part of it!
Harry Morgan
Harry Morgan might brand itself as a "NY style deli", but we have to take issue with that. The St John's Wood deli is London through and through, and whether they be actual Jewish families or simply fans of the kreplach, west Londoners have been flocking to its brightly lit doors for decades. Go for deli classics like chopped liver and matzah ball soup, or go a bit more diaspora with haddock and chips for £13.95. They also happily do home delivery, a dream come true for those us us unlucky enough to live away from St John's Wood High Street's idyllic calm. There is simply no comfort food like it. (020 7722 1869)
The Scolt Head
The Scolt Head is a double-hitter: lively pub bringing together the fresh-faced inhabitants of both Islington and neighboring Dalston, and dreamy date-perfect restaurant. On offer is some of the most coveted of classic British fare, including slow braised pork cheek, stuffed mackerel, and whole baked Camembert (--okay, maybe not British, but classically delicious). Book in advance for cozy back seating in the fabulously decorated dining space, a perfect storm of winterish mahogany and dark brick, ideal for sipping a full-bodied red. It's like you and your date have been stranded in a Highlands cabin, but we might be letting our imaginations get away with us... (020 7254 3965)
FM Mangal
When it comes to food, sometimes it's best to follow the crowd. And on a Friday night around 1am, Camberwell's art students and longtime residents will be crowding into FM Mangal, a cult favourite turkish takeaway joint and multi-level restaurant. The menu is filled to the brim with perfectly executed classics, and you could feast for as little as £15. It's unclear what kind of magic the FM Mangal staff use on their skewers and in their sauces, but it's the stuff of food mythology. Go for fresh calamari and Yaprak doner, loads of friends and the spirit of sharing. Just don't make plans to go out afterwards – you'll be in the very best type of food coma. (020 7701 6677)
China Tang
As if you needed more to fill your Wong Kar-wai post-colonial art deco fantasies, now you can spend an evening in London's most glamorous Chinese restaurant. China Tang is part Dorchester, part more modern foodie lair, and it's the perfect spot for a touch of totally all things unique – the interiors are mind-boggling. Set menus include classics like Peking duck, but if you go a la carte you can enjoy jellyfish, drunken chicken, scallop congee, or seafood hotpots (with lobster, abalone, scallop, and more. Though it'll set you back £150). It's charming and vibrant, and stands out from the crowd with refreshing Technicolor elegance. (020 7629 9988)
Duck and Waffle
Some dining experiences come with a side of vertigo, and if you can handle the breathtaking heights (almost clear to the top of Heron Tower, just above Sushisamba) then Duck and Waffle could easily become your new London favorite. One of the few 24 hour establishments in the city (if you're willing to shell out close to £50 per head), Duck and Waffle is sinful and stunning. Foie brulee (yep, it's exactly what you think it is) and bowls of crab are small-plate alternatives to the eponymous duck and waffle, a sweet and savoury blast of soul food to fuel your Shoreditch nights. A can't miss for jet-setters, umami enthusiasts, and adventurous Londoners. (0203 640 7310)
Hawksmoor brought the art of steak to London, and it did it with artful, wintery decadence – the type which was welcome off the back of the whole offal renaissance. Its ethos of "making sure the food [they] serve is as good as possible, that the animals the food comes from lived a decent life, [and] that everyone who works with us enjoys what they do" has given them a buzz which has lasted the test of time; its five London locations have remained as popular as the day they opened their doors, and their extensive, beautifully curated cocktail list only gives visitors more reasons to adore Hawksmoor. (0207 420 9390)
"Rich businessmen, sweaty taxi-wallas and courting couples. Fans turned slowly. Bentwood chairs were reflected in stained mirrors, next to sepia family portraits. Students had breakfast. Families dined. Lawyers read briefs. Writers found their characters." It's hard to imagine that Dishoom could live up to such a description of their old-school influence, the Irani cafe. But indeed, it's no wonder that Dishoom has developed the cult following that it has: the self-described "Bombay Cafe" has executed the perfect take on Iranian-influenced Indian food with an almost Disneyland-ish colonial vibe. Implanted in hip, newly renovated Granary Square (specifically one of its disused railway yards), Dishoom offers some of the richest, most unusual and authentic west Asian food in the city. Small plates like the crunchy "bhel" are followed by classics like a slow-cooked Kacchi lamb biryani and chicken curries. If you haven't heard, now you know: Dishoom is the most stylish embodiment of brilliant culture-crashing cuisine, and it can't be missed. (020 7420 9321)
On the ground floor of Shoreditch's Tea Building, the seven-storey start-up hub right across from the Overground, is a different kind of innovation hub: Lyle, the creation of borderline "experimental" chef James Lowe. There's a clean, ultra-sanitary feel to the whitewashed walls and glistening steel detail that sets it apart from Shoreditch's whole cultivated-grittiness thing. The place feels grown-up, which is a perfect balance to how playful and thrilling the set menu is. Goat curd and apple come served underneath a paper-thin dome of spun sugar. A red wine is described as having farm-like "funk", and stingray is placed in front of us with utter nonchalance. It's the perfect date spot for innovative thinkers, or just food enthusiasts who are not easily impressed. (020 3019 2468)
Bone Daddies
To even speak of Bone Daddies after having dined there is a sort of synesthetic exercise. Memories of chicken scratchings, miso, pork neck chashu, chicken bone stock, make for an exhausting culinary love. But we'll take those sesame sweats any day: Bone Daddies is the most mouth-wateringly thrilling ramen experience you're likely to get in London, and you can find it in one of London's most entertaining neighborhoods. Their Soho branch is itty bitty, and they don't take reservations, so bring only a friend or two (ones with whom youre comfortable getting sloppy with) or try their late-night menu. They offer up the curry ramen of your wildest fantasies (fried chicken, padron peppers & cabbage) for �10, and chilli chashu pork buns for �4.80. Be warned: after your first visit, you won't be able to stay away long. (020 7287 8581)
Barrafina offers the kind of food you have to work for. It's virtually impossible to avoid an hour-long queue (the seats barely hit the double digits), and you're likely to be elbow-to-elbow with strangers. But once you've got your first glass tinto, Barrafina's exquisite spirit becomes increasingly exposed. Dishes like octopus with capers (at £9.80) and chicken thigh with Romesco sauce (£7.5) are profound in their simplicity, bringing out the simple, clean, startlingly robust flavors. More ambitious dishes like the Pluma Ibérica with confit potatoes showcase the rare culinary gifts of Head Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho and her team, for a total experience which is dizzying and unforgettable.
