Sic Alps
It's probably a safe bet that Mike Donovan never met Gram Parsons — or Arthur Lee or Donovan Leitch, for that matter. He may not even be inspired by their music. But Sic Alps has plenty of garage psych stirred into its songwriting cauldron, and the act's latest album, Glyphs, has a haunted, late-'60s Laurel Canyon haze and unexpected intensity that makes you think of "Hurdy Gurdy Man," Grievous Angel and Forever Changes. Donovan is apparently no stranger to contemplating deep reaches of the mind that most people prefer to cover over. Seeing Sic Alps live is like looking through a window into another time or place, where being a cult band isn't some cynical marketing ploy.

(01. 238-29) This invention relates to timber and consists in the reenforcement of timber, to prolong its life and to render it more serviceable. Timber, round and square, and in widely varying uses-in uses including railway ties, telephone, telegraph, and electric light and power line poles, the cross arms upon such poles, the piles and the planks of docks and piers, the timbers of trestles and bridges, of the derricks and equipment of oil and gas wells,
10 of the false work for building, and of buildings themselves, etc.being subject to changing conditions of moisture and of temperature, and to various strains of service, checks and sp1its and deteriorates. This invention has as its object the prevention of such checking, splitting, and dete- 25 and not infrequently do develop incidentally in the curing of the tie and before it goes into service. Fig. II is a similar view of the end of a tie, together with diagrammatic indication of instrumentality for compressing the tie and closing 3 splits and checks, preliminarily to the application of the strengthening means of this invention; and the figure further shows diagrammatically such strengthening means in place. Fig. III is a view in perspective of a. strengthened tie of the in- 35 vention. Fig. IV is a fragmentary view, in plan from above, of a railway track, including in its structure a strengthened tie of this invention.v
Fig. V is a fragmentary view of the tie in plan from above, with diagrammatic illustration of a feature of utility. Fig. VI is a view in side elevation and to larger scale of.a strengthening element. Fig. VII is a view of a tie in end elevation, with diagrammatic showing of a variation attending the practice of the invention, when resort is had to it after the tie has been installed in service. Figs. VIII-XIII ailord diagrammatic indication of variety in the cross-sectional shape of the strengthening element. Fig. XIV is a fragmentary view in perspective of the upper end of 50 a telegraph or telephone pole with a cross-armin place upon it; to which pole and to the crossarm as well the strengthening means of the invention have been applied. Fig. XV is a fragincluding timbers to which the invention has been applied.
The invention will first be described in its application to railway ties. A railway tie formed of timber,whether hewn or sawn, is (with rela- .tion to its position in service) relatively wider mcntary view in perspective of a trestle structure (in horizontal direction) than it is thick (in vertical direction). Ordinarily, the heart of the leg from which it is cut lies within its periphery, and in any case the natural planes of minimum strength, which are radial with respect to 5 the heart of the log, extend (many of them) in planes that are, when the tie. is in' service position, vertical or are inclined at acute angles to the vertical. A railway tie, after it has been cut and before application to service, is ordinarily l0 cured, and the curing process is essentially a process of drying. The strains incident to dry ing not uncommonly cause cleavages of greater or less extent in the substance of the tie itself and along radial planes with respect to the heart 15 v of the log from which the tie is cut. Inasmuch as the ties are of greater breadth than thick ness, these cleavages tend to occur chiefly in planes that are (with respect to the service position of the tie) vertical and approximately vertical planes. Cleavage of such sort is indicated in Fig. I in black areas 6. These cleavages occur chiefly at the ends of the ties (though they may occur at intermediate points) and they extend longitudinally for perhaps a foot, more or less. When in service a railway tie is subject to crushing strains of great magnitude. As it continues in service the processes of decay, and the conditions of alternate wetting and drying, freezing and thawing, tend to cause the timber to grow yet weaker along its radial planes. When a tie is built into a roadway, and" tracks are laid and secured 'uponit, rail-securing spikes are driven into it in approximately vertical direction from above. These conditions and circumstances all tend and contribute to cause splitting. As tiescontinue in service they manifest, as a chief feature of deterioration, a' splitting in longitudinal planes that are vertical or inclined at acute angles to the vertical, .withconsequent spreading and sinking of their substance, and loosening of the rail-securing spikes. v
The invention is' applicable both to new ties and to old; both to ties that are checked, to ties which terminal splits have in the courseof cur- ,ingdeveloped, a usual step in the further preparation of the tie for service is to coat the tie (the coating is attended with some penetration and saturation in portions adjacent the surface) with v a suitable preservative in liquid form,-typically creosote. Such coating and saturation extends to and includes the cleavage surfaces of the splits, ii" any. The invention consists in sinking in the substance of the tie adjacent the ends thereof transversely extending metal rods of screw configuration. These rods by their presence secure the tie against splitting; they hold closed splits from opening again; they prevent the opening of new splits; and they are effective, more firmly to hold in place the rail-securing spikes that are driven into the substance of the ties. When a tie has been reenforced by sinking transversely into its substance-metal rods of the screw configuration described while still the tie is in green condition,-
the rods will be effective during the ensuing curing period to prevent splits. Treatment with creosote 'will follow, and the rods will continue to afford their strengthening effect in the finished tie.
In exemplary performance of the invention the tie I of Fig. I is clamped in suitable. clamping apparatus, conventionally indicated at 2, Fig. 11,
and by such clamping the splits (if any have occurred) are closed again. Into the substance of the now fissureless tie one or more of the strengthening rods of metal are ,driven, so as to extend in transverse position in the substance of the tie, as diagrammatically indicated at 3, Fig. II. Even though the tie be not clamped, and even though splits already developed be not closed, still the applied rod or rods will be efiective to prevent further splitting.
Typically the rods are rolled steel rods, square in cross-section, three eights of an inch square. They are twisted, so that the screw formed by each corner of the square has a lead of something more than two inches. They are cut to length suited to tie thickness,ten inches. And they are of the essential helical shape shown, substantially to their ends. They need not be, and ordinarily will not be, headed, but they are preferably tapered or bluntly pointed at one end, as indicated at 3!, Fig. VI. These rods may be driven into the tie by means of a sledge, as a nail is driven by a hammer. As they advance into the substance of the wood, their screw shape causes them to rotate. Thus, with spontaneous turning, they embed themselves, and when in place the tenacity of the union between wood and metal, and th tensile strength of the rods, are such that the tie is stronger to resist splitting strains at the points where the rods lie than at any other point in its extent. Splits closed before the driving-in of the rods, and then bridged by rods, will not, when clamping pressure is relieved, reopen. Furthermore, when the substance of a tie has 50 been strengthened at two remote points, the portion of the tie that lies between those points possesses increased capacity to hold secure a driven-in spike. The rods may be, and ordinarily will be, driven in until their ends are flush with the surface through which they are sunk. When the rods have been driven in, the clamping pressure .may be relieved and the tie may be removed from the clamping apparatus. It is then ready to be applied to service, with realization of the advan tages of the invention.
A rod of the dimensions specified may be driven by a. sledge into the solid substance of an oak tie. Alternatively. a bore may be drilled (of substantially less diameter than the over-all diameter of the rod) and the rod may then (and with less eifort) be driven into the bore. Even so, the rod will be found effective as a strengthening element, in the manner described.
Ordinarily the rod which by twisting is devel oped toscrew configuration will be of simple, square cross-section. For the purposes of the invention, however, all that is requisite is that-it be angular in cross-section,that is to say, possessed of an edge or ridge which, when the rod is twisted, will develop into screw form. In Figs. VIII-XIII a variety of possible shapes is presented,not as an exhaustive, but rather as an exemplary, showing. It will be perceived that the cross-sectional shape is typically polygonal-regu- 1Q lar or irregular; that the number of corners or ridges-typically four, in the squaremay be reduced to three in a triangle, or to two in a lensshaped section, or increased to six, in the case of the hexagon; and that the sides of the polygon 1;,
(and the faces of the rod), typically straight, may be concave or even convex.
Furtheryit is not requisite that the essential screw shape be developed by twisting, although because of economy such will be the usual mode 2.0 of formation. Manifestly in known manner a rod may be rolled from a round blank with such a thread upon it.
It is, however, requisite of the screw configura tion that it be such in pitch that under the longitudinally directed driving stress (ordinarily the blow of a sledge) the rod will turn as it sinks into the wood. v
The proportions of the rod may be varied. Inv the case specified, of a three-eighths inch rod, 30 twisted so that the developed screw has a lead of something more than two inches, the angle of pitch will be found to be about 54". This, manifestly, is a very diirerent pitch from that of a screw-spike,an article that has some acceptance for securing rails to ties. The pitch of thread of a screw-spike is of such relatively small angle that it is removable by turning, and is serviceable by virtue of that capability; The rod of this invention cannot be turned to place. If the attempt 40 were made, when the rod had advanced for an inch or two into the substance of the wood, by turning to advance it further, the resistance to progress would be greater than the rigidity of the rod itself, and access of turning force would then 45 be effective only to twist the rod, to the point of tearing it apart. Nor can the rod of the invention, when once it is sunk to place, be removed by opposite turning. It is effective and serves its purpose by virtue of the fact that it cannot be 50 turned. If such a rod be grasped at separate points in its extent in the fingers of the two hands, it will be discovered that outward pull by either hand tends to eifect rotation in the support afforded by the fingers of the other hand, and that the directions of rotation are in the two cases opposite. This is a demonstration of the fact that when such a rod is in service, a tendency of the tie to split expresses itself in oppositely effective'tendencies to rotation, and these opposite 00 tendencies are counteractive and mutually cantelling. Itwill be perceived that, by virtue of -1ies) that the angle of pitch of the screw-thread tion, because ties vary in quality; and different ties, of diiferent kinds and qualities of wood and of different conditions and ages, afford resistance to turning that varies within certain limits. It will, however, be apparent that in structure as well as in principle of operation the strengthening rod described stands remote from the screwspike.
The-rod of the invention may be formed of I rolled stock, without machining; such roughness and minute irregularity as it may possess are conducive-to, not unfavorable to, utility; it requires formaking-application no special appliances; to the contrary, it is applicable with dispatch. And these characteristics render it practicable.
We have mentioned rolled steel'as the typical material for the rods of the invention; and while, manifestly, rolled steel is the material most readilyavailable, manifestly also rods of wrought-iron would serve, and metallic rods generally. The invention is realized in the integration of the wooden body and the correction of its tendency to split by means of these transverse rods of the high tensile strength that metal afiords, and of shape such as to permit driving under longitudinal stress and to insure firm anchorage in pnsition in the wood.
Particularly it is to be remarked of this dowel that, formed of metal and of high tensile strength, its diameter is, relatively to the size of the tie, relatively small. (The tie has a diameter of, say, ten inches; the dowel is formed of a rod three eighths of an inch square.) In such case, manifestly, the weakening of the'tie by the dowel is negligible in amount, while the resistance to splitting is greatly increased. And it is further to be remarked that the invention is realized, not in the nailing or pinning together of two articles, but in the reenforcement of a unitary article and rendering it better fitted for service.
In Fig. III a typical pattern for the placement of the strengthening rods in the substance of a tie is indicated. Five rods in all are employed. One is centrally placed and the others are disposed in pairs and insymmetrical arrangement, near the two ends. The rods of each pair con-' veniently extend in a common vertical plane, and they are spaced above and below' the horizontal mid-plane of the tie. It will be manifest that in such case the tendency of the tie to split will be resisted and an incipient split in the end of the tie arrested while still the split is narrower and its penetration less in depth than would be the case were there a single rod at each end of the tie placed in the mid-plane of the tie.
' I Fig. IV shows the track assembly from above, and. (understanding the arrangement of the strengthening rods to be that of Fig. 111) it will be perceived that the spikes 4, by which the rails.
timber. itself to the varying circumstances or conditions 65 between two lines of strengthening rods, 3, 3. 5
The fissure opened by the sinking of the spike is diagrammatically indicated in black. Such a fissure is limited in its possible extent longitudinally of the tie by the rods 3 on one side and the other; furthermore, the practical impossil0 bility of spread of the substance of the tie at the points where the rods 3 are situated has the effect (when a spike is driven in, as at 4) of bringing into play the" elasticity of the wood, causing it more firmly to engage the spike and hold it secure.'
If the invention is to be realized in the ties of a track already laid, the rods will conveniently be sunk in obliquely transverse lines, as indicated in Fig. VII, from the upper corners of the tie obliquely downward, toward the opposite lower corners. Before sinking the rods,- the tie may be subjected to transverse clamping pressure and pre-existing splits closed. And fresh application of liquid preservativemay have been made before such closure of splits.
Other metal reenfo'rcements for railway ties have been proposed and used. Among them 8- shaped cramp-irons of substantial breadth, sunk edgewise into the end of the tie; but these crampirons have been found inadequate. It is only their rigidity against the straightening of the S that is resistant to splitting strains; and, in pont of fact, these S-shaped cramp-irons do straighten out, and ties do split, inspite of theirpresence. Furthermore, they are not, in the nature of the case, very secure, and the stresses that tend to straighten, tend often to dislodge them sothat presently they lose much of their split-resisting power. In the reenforcement of th s invention there is no reliance on resistance of bent steel to straightening; it is the tensile strength of the rod itself; and that, even in a slender rod secured in the manner described, is so great that no tendency to split can be so great as to overcome it and tear the rod in two.
Turning to Fig. XIV and to the telephone pole there-illustrated, it is to be remarked that the pole itself H is by thedowels 3| of the nature and character illustrated in Fig. VI, and, applied in the manner already described, reenforced at its exposed upper end against splitting; and that the cross-arm I2 is in like manner reenforced by the similar dowels 32, in like manner applied. We have shown the dowels extending horizontally through the timber; manifestly they may be inserted to extend vertically; and manifestly both horizontal and vertical dowels may be inserted; and they may be set obliquely. The reenforcing dowels may be inserted not attheend of the timber only, but in distributed succession throughout the length of the The practice of the invention thus-lends of the material employed. It will immediately be perceived of this installation that, like the railway tie, the pole and the cross-arm are weakened by the setting of the assembling bolts 4|; and that thecross-mrm is 7 additionally weakened by the settingof the insulator-carrying pins 42. And it will further be .realized that as in the case of the railway tie there are service strains, tending to 'rackthe as sembly, and to cause splitting and; insecurity. 7'5:
cross-arm under service strains that, exerted upon the pin, might otherwise split the cross-arm and cause it to fail. The cross-arms have ordinarily a thickness of four inches; and in such case the dowels may be formed of quarter-inch rolled stock. And again, as in the case of the railway tie, the dowel is of such relatively small size as not appreciably to cut the fibre of the wood and to weaken the cross-arm,'but rather to make way by compressing the fibre to one side and the other; whilethe strengthening eiIect of the. dowel is such as to prevent splitting. The wood will be crushed and broken before it will split.
In Fig. XV a fragment of a trestle is shown in which the timbers I3 and i4, secured together by bolts 43, are severally reenforced by the dowels 33, 34 of the character, and applied in the manner, described; Here, again, the timbers that in service are exposed, not to the elements merely, but to strains that tend to rack and that make for splitting, are reenforced and their integrity insured, so that the life of the structure is prolonged, by the dowels of the invention.
It will be perceived that the invention permits "some latitude in dimensions. The timber subject to strengthening in the practice of the invention may be of an order of thickness ranging from four to twenty-four inches; and, in correspondence, the thickness of the steel rod will be of an order ranging from a quarter to three quarters of an inch.
In all cases the sinking of the relatively slender, metal dowel into the timber has negligible effect in severing the fibres of the wood, but has substantial and valuable effect in lateral compression of the fibres, for the elasticity of the wood is thus brought to bear with intensified effect in holding and securing the dowel against displacement, and, consequently, in preventing the opening of splits in the wood itself;
' wooden pile, the pile will be strengthened to resist splitting. a
We claim as our invention:

Certainly, software engineers require abstractions of objects in the world and the processes that animate them when designing and developing computer systems. Indeed, a design is an abstraction, a formal representation or model that serves as a kind of plan for the builders. But does this mean that when the objects of interest are human beings and their behavior – the social order nicely described by SEI as the 'ecosystem' for any and all computing – that researchers who study humans, social scientists in particular, ought to then have similar kinds of abstractions and formal models as their own goal, as a basic requirement of their science? Most social and behavioral scientists would answer in the affirmative, arguing without an analytically stipulated conceptual scheme or model from which to proceed (and to which to return), any orderliness in the vast plentitude of human beings' lived experience cannot be found (seen), let alone explained. The social science tradition that informs my work, ethnomethodology, provides a different answer, however, one based on a rather different perspective on the organization of human behavior. This alternate perspective also directs our attention to humans' own understandings of their actions: How do they make sense of their world, display this understanding to others, and produce the mutually shared social order in which they live – and in which the computer systems we design and build for them must operate? In addressing these questions, I very briefly describe the ethnomethodological approach, discuss the problem of representation and abstraction in the analysis of behavior, and argue about why this matters for system design.

- SocGen CEO: Banks could absorb Greek restructuring. The door to a restructuring of Greek debt may have been opened after Frederic Oudea, the CEO of French banking giant Societe Generale (OTCPK:SCGLY), said the European banking sector could absorb such a move. "The impact is overstated on the banking sector," Oudea told CNBC. "It's a relatively small debt...(and) it's pretty well spread." His comments come after a secret meeting of top eurozone officials on Friday night agreed to revise Greece's €110B ($157B) bailout. This was followed by Ireland's energy minister saying yesterday that his country intends to push for improvements in the terms of its €85B euro program as well.
- Hertz offers $2.08B for Dollar Thrifty. Hertz (NYSE:HTZ) has bid $2.08B to buy Dollar Thrifty Auto Group (DTG +5.5%) in an offer that comprises $57.60 in cash and 0.8546 of its own shares for every Dollar Thrifty share. The deal is worth $72 a share at Hertz's closing price on Friday and represents a 26% premium on Dollar Thrifty's 90-day average price.
- Barclays to take £1B hit after banks drop mis-selling fight. Barclays (NYSE:BCS) has made a provision of £1B ($1.64B) to compensate customers for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance, while HSBC (HBC) has set aside $440M. The provisions come after the British Bankers' Association said today it wouldn't appeal a court ruling that made banks liable for these claims. Barclays' shares were -1.6% in midday London trading while those of HSBC, which reported its Q1 2011 earnings this morning (see below), were -1.4% premarket in the U.S. Last week, Lloyd's (NYSE:LYG) disclosed that it had put £3.2B aside to cover potential compensation, and analysts believe the episode could cost banks £8B in total.
- HSBC pretax profit falls and misses forecasts. HSBC's (HBC) Q1 2011 adjusted pretax profit fell to $5.5B from $6B a year earlier and missed analyst expectations, also of $6B. However, HSBC's net profit jumped to $4.15B from $2.63B, lifted by a drop in bad-loan charges and taxes. Revenue slipped to $17.04B from $17.9B, due to a decline in the money HSBC makes on its excess cash, with the fall also reflecting its contracting U.S. consumer-finance loan portfolios. On Wednesday, new CEO Stuart Gulliver is scheduled to unveil a strategic revamp.
- Fall in U.S. home values accelerates. The values of U.S. homes in Q1 2011 posted their largest declines since Q4 2008, slumping 3% from the prior period, figures from real-estate data firm Zillow show. With an abundance of repossessed homes weakening prices - in March, one out of every 1,000 homes was in foreclosure - negative equity hit a new high of 28.4% of all single-family homes vs. 27% in Q4 2010. Given the new data, Zillow has revised its forecast for when prices will reach a bottom, now estimating that this will occur next year at the earliest.
- Muni concerns ease as banks renew credit letters. Fears that municipalities would need to refinance tens of billions of dollars in bonds this year eased in the first quarter after banks renewed or replaced 85% of expiring letters of credits with state and local governments, a report from Moody's shows. The banks had issued these notes, worth $13.5B, during the financial crisis. The renewals indicate that the $2.9T muni-bond market is stabilizing after months of turmoil. However, the current and next quarters may prove to be more challenging, with $50B worth of letters of credit set to expire.
- U.S. and China set to meet as record yuan run continues. The U.S. and China are due to begin two days of high-level talks in Washington today, with the hosts likely to call for further appreciation of the yuan even as it continues to reach record highs, and their guests likely to raise concerns about soaring U.S. debt. The U.S. will probably also call for China to increase interest rates, provide better access for American companies, and implement financial market reforms at a faster pace. Although no big breakthrough is expected, neither is a major flare-up, especially as China is Washington's biggest creditor.
- Elan to sell EDT unit to Alkermes for $960M. Elan (NYSE:ELN) has agreed to sell its drug technology unit EDT to U.S. firm Alkermes (NASDAQ:ALKS) in a $960M deal in which the Irish biotech will receive $500M in cash and a 25% stake in the merged group. Elan plans to use the money to cut debt.
- Terex offer for Demag Cranes 'inadequate.' Terex's (NYSE:TEX) €884M ($1.31B) bid for Demag Cranes (OTC:DMGCF) has suffered a blow after Cevian Capital, the German company's largest shareholder, described the €41.75 offer as 'completely inadequate.' Cevian, which holds over 10% in Demag, has in the past backed the latter's strategy of staying independent as foreign companies circled.
- Apple deposes Google as world's most valuable brand. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has overtaken Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) as the world's most valuable brand, WPP (NASDAQ:WPPGY) said today in its annual BrandZ listing. While the value of Apple's brand has surged 84% in the past year to $153.3B, that of Google has slipped 2% to $111.5B, ending four years at the top. IBM (NYSE:IBM) jumped 17% to take the number three spot. Twelve of the top 100 global brands come from China, led by China Mobile (NYSE:CHL).
- Unilever gets U.S. okay for $3.7B Alberto Culver purchase. Unilever (NYSE:UL) has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice for its $3.7B acquisition of Alberto Culver (NYSE:ACV-OLD). Unilever will have to sell the Alberto V05 brand in the U.S. from Alberto Culver's portfolio and the Rave brand from the Unilever portfolio. However, the deal still needs regulatory approval in other countries, includng in the U.K. and Argentina.

Norton 850 Commando by Federal Moto

Norton has been causing riders to drool for well over a century now. Launching in 1902 and winning the inaugural Isle of Mann TT race in 1907, the Norton serves as the other half of the iconic 'Triton' (a Norton featherbed frame combined with a Triumph Bonneville engine).
The company's Dominator and Commando models, in particular, are the stuff of design and pop culture legend. The Commando even made an appearance in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. After a brief restart for the brand in the early 2000s, new ownership has reintroduced these legendary roadsters with a new line built in Leicestershire.

Prussia (German: Preußen) is one of the formable countries in Europe and can be formed by Brandenburg, the Teutonic Order, or any country with Prussian, Saxon, or Pomeranian culture (besides Germany and a unified, centralised Holy Roman Empire). It also exists in campaigns started in 1525 or later. Prussia is a powerful military state with strong morale, discipline and tradition; enough to ensure strong generals in commanding large armies, and well-trained troops in aforementioned armies.
If played correctly, Prussia can dominate Central Europe and the rest of the HRE. Prussia is considered one of the more advanced nations due to the difficult requirements and challenges that must be overcome to form, therefore it is not recommended for Beginners. However, once inner quarrels are settled and the homeland is secured it can easily become one of the most entertaining yet still challenging nations. Prussia can also play a decisive role in the League Wars.
There are three possible decisions that form Prussia. One is for the Teutonic Order, and is based on the secularization of that order into the Duchy of Prussia in 1525. One is for Brandenburg, based on the Electors of Brandenburg, having inherited the Duchy of Prussia, crowning themselves King in Prussia in 1701. The last is for any Prussian, Saxon or Pomerian German minor, representing another German prince taking the path that Brandenburg did historically. Note that the latter two decisions will elevate the nation to kingdom rank and will consequently make it leave the Holy Roman Empire unless it is an elector.

There is only one king in the Empire, the king of Bohemia. At the same time our lands in Prussia are not a historic part of the Empire, let us declare ourselves King in Prussia to reflect our grander status than the other electors.

The age of crusading knights is fading fast. There will come a time when we no longer stand to gain by holding on to the trappings of a monastic order. Besides, the Grandmaster would much rather be a Duke... or King. By reforming into a secular state, we can revitalize our administration and gain the respect of our neighbors.

REMINDER: Coronation Street's not on tonight
This is due to football being on the telly box instead. It's France v Romania in Euro 2016. I'm sure watching Weatherfield County would be just as exciting.

Corrie will be back on Sunday night for an hour-long episode. However, the schedule goes all to pot next week too, due to football again.

Yeah, we go through the same thing in Canada - right now CS is all moved around for the Stanley Cup (hockey).

Charismatic New Orleans-born chef David Guas -- widely familiar from his frequent appearances on "The Today Show" and role as host of Travel Channel's "American Grilled" -- has garnered national praise in publications like Food & Wine, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Saveur and Bon Appétit for showcasing the soul of the South in his sinfully delicious, Louisiana-style favorites and desserts at Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery. Opened in 2010, Guas serves up down-home goodness daily at his neighborhood eatery, a nostalgic tribute to his hometown in the Courthouse neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. Plenty of character sets the scene where the menu includes Buttermilk Biscuits with Pepper Jelly, Pimento Cheese, Sandwiches, BBQ Pork, Roast Beef Arm Drips, Muff-a-lottas, Shrimp Creole, Red Beans & Rice, and sweets like Layer Cakes, fruit Pies, Pralines and PorKorn.
Take the Orange Line to the Courthouse Metro stop. Exit station through Courthouse Plaza entrance and go left on 15th Street to the corner of North Courthouse Road. We are also located along ART bus lines 41, 45, 77 and Metro bus 4B and 38B stop within two blocks of Bayou Bakery.

In May 2015, Chef David Guas opened doors to his second restaurant, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery, on the grounds of Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital on Capitol Hill. Located in a historic Carriage House sanctioned by President Lincoln, the space originally housed medic horses for the hospital during the Civil War. Guas restored it to showcase its original accents – from exposed brick to herringbone-laid stone grounds, wooden hay chutes and feeding troughs. This New Orleans native furnished it with Southern touches that speak to its era, such as decoupaged walls depicting Civil War scenes and customary mid-19th century-style textiles. Guests enjoy favorites that have become beloved signatures at the Arlington location, such as Beignets, Biscuits, Muff-a-lottas, and pop-up specials reflecting the authentic flavors of Louisiana. A strong organic coffee program reflects Guas' Cuban heritage. Libations range from custom cocktails, boutique wines, and bottled or draft beers from both Louisiana's own Abita Brewing Company and local DC Brau. The good times are a rollin' at this historic, funkified Nola-style eatery.
We are located two blocks east of the Eastern Market Metro stop on the Blue, Orange and Silver Lines [straight shot from Bayou Bakery VA on the orange line!].

Book 'im
The days when popular, famous restaurants kept their recipes secret are thankfully over. Case in point: The New Legal Sea Foods Cookbook! Now, we no longer have to trek to the Sawgrass Mills location of the Legal Sea Foods chain, scavenge for a parking spot, linger in line for a table, and wait some more for service, all to sample the signature New England-style clam chowder. OK, so it may take equally long to shop for the ingredients, clean the clams, peel the potatoes, and slow-cook the soup. And the result might be a burned mess in a hot kitchen. But we'll risk it, if only for the Florida-perfect dessert -- the mango-strawberry shortcake listed in the book's pages.

Receive Breaking News updates as they occur
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats on Tuesday threatened to block must-do legislation to prevent the government from shutting down Friday at midnight, battle the Zika virus and help flood-ravaged Louisiana rebuild.
German data protection authorities on Tuesday said they had blocked Facebook from collecting subscriber data from its subsidiary WhatsApp, citing privacy concerns. Facebook and WhatsApp promised in the wake of the Silicon Valley giant's 2014 acquisition of the messaging app that they would not share data, Hamburg's Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Johannes Caspar said in a statement. "It has to be (the users') decision whether they want to connect their account with Facebook," Caspar said.

Chicago's Carl Mitchell, aka Twista, isn't a musical or lyrical innovator, but he's got the fastest tongue in hip-hop, and his quick spitting -- and the collaborators he's attracted as a result -- help explain why his career's on the upswing after nearly a decade in the game. His verbal skills are so freakish that he's essentially an instrument in and of himself, and with 2004's Kamikaze, his fourth disc, he finally found a producer who could make the most of them: Kanye West, who turned "Slow Jamz" into an irresistible hit by revving up a Luther Vandross sample to supersonic speed. The success of the cut helped draw enough talent to The Day After, Twista's latest, to compensate for West's absence, including producers Rodney Jerkins and the Neptunes and guest stars such as Pitbull and "Slow Jamz" alum Jamie Foxx. Yet the disc's most effective track is "Girl Tonite," an erotic exercise co-starring Trey Songz that's more likely to cause pregnancy without physical contact than any David Copperfield magic trick. Although Twista, who joins Mike Jones at tonight's KS-107.5 Boo Ball, gets by with a lot of help from his friends, he still gets in his licks.

America wanted 2012 to be about women. Was it?
In culture and in politics, 2012 was lauded as a banner year for the so-called fairer sex. During the Olympic games, NPR and Time and CNN hailed "the year of the woman" athlete; after the election, the Observer to Salon to NBC to Mother Jones proclaimed "the year of the woman" politician. Marissa Mayer's appointment as CEO of Yahoo was taken as a sign that, even in the Silicon Valley boys' club, the winds of change were blowing. When The Hollywood Reporter asked entertainment industry types to complete the sentence "If women ran Hollywood ... " the consensus, at least from the men who were polled, is that women already do. "If women ran Hollywood," said actor Joel McHale, "there would be hit romantic comedies about hunky male strippers, hugely successful film franchises about sparkly vampires, and music and dancing competition shows would dominate the airwaves — wait, are we sure women don't already run Hollywood?"
By the time Hanna Rosin declared the end of men, America had spent so much time cheering about women's varied successes that the inverse didn't seem like a stretch. Yet every declaration that girl power was ascendant came with a set of pretty heavy caveats. True, women made strides this year, but the real defining feature of 2012's gender politics is how desperately everyone wanted this year to belong to women. Even when it didn't.
It all began with the summer Olympics, where, for the first time ever, all 204 participating delegations had female athletes. Women dominated the Games' narrative as never before. Saudi Arabian women competed in judo and track and field, and Brunei and Qatar each made one of their first female Olympians a flag bearer in the opening ceremony. A Malaysian markswoman noted to be the "most heavily pregnant athlete in the history of the Olympics" competed in an air rifle event. It was the first year women's boxing was featured. Team U.S.A. had more women than men, and perhaps accordingly, U.S. women earned more medals in the games than their male counterparts.
But even as sportscasters cheered about the groundbreaking gender tally, the narrative about individual athletes was exasperatingly familiar. The focus on women, wrote Jennifer Vanasco in the Columbia Journalism Review, can "slide into something almost prurient, focusing on women's bodies instead of their achievements." Countless "sexy female Olympians" slideshows littered the web, while scores of people used social media to ruthlessly mock female weightlifters' appearances. Meanwhile, some sexism was subtle: "When you watched them calling the beach volleyball matches they refer to the male athletes in every sport by their last names, just as almost everybody does when referring to athletes," sports columnist Megan Greenwell said on the Kojo Nnamdi show this summer. "And Misty May-Treanor and Kerry Walsh Jennings, who are by far the best beach volleyball players in the world, and as of last night, the three-time gold medalists, they consistently refer to them as Misty and Kerry, which is a very small thing but I think these minor — it's death by a thousand paper cuts, right?"
The female narrative had a resurgence in November, when America's election results prompted descriptions of 2012 as another "year of the woman" — a reference to the 1992 election in which four women were elected to the Senate and 24 to the House. Following a campaign season in which female voters were alternately courted and alienated (R.I.P. Republican "rape caucus"), America's 113th Congress will theoretically be the most representative of American women in history, with twenty serving in the Senate and 81 in the House. While this progress is exciting, it's worth noting that women are still 30 Senators and more than 130 Representatives away from parity. Moreover, just because more women are serving doesn't mean they have political clout: Not a single House committee will be chaired by a woman in 2013. (Down from a single female chair in 2012.)
After a campaign in which women and their rights were routinely at issue, it felt good to declare the entire gender victorious. In an election that lacked the historic milestones of previous years (How can you top "first black President"?) women's gains emerged as a convenient positive data point. At best, declaring it a "year of the woman" serves up modern successes as historical anomalies (which is rarely the case). At worst, it gives us a pass when it comes to dealing with persistent sexism, giving us the impression that the hard work is already done. Sure, Todd Akin lost his bid for Congress to a strong female candidate, Claire McCaskill, but Akin's views on reproductive rights are still very much a part of the mainstream political dialogue. It's much easier to cheer the defeat of the "rape caucus" than it is to push the incoming Congress — women like McCaskill included — to pass legislation that actually advances women's rights. Collectively, we're much better at shaming and shouting down sexists and racists than we are at supporting women and minorities in a positive, ongoing way — a fact that the political "year of the woman" celebration tends to obscure.
By the time end-of-year best lists started rolling out, it became clear that the narrative would be applied to TV and movies, too, largely thanks to a few prominent "strong woman" roles and notable directors. On the big screen, so many blockbusters featured female leads — The Hunger Games, Snow White and the Huntsman, Brave — that The New York Times Magazine dubbed 2012 the year of "Hollywood heroine worship." And on the small screen, leading ladies drew excitement, too. On new shows like Girls, Whitney, and The Mindy Project, women embraced their quirks, their flaws, their thighs. The female writer-director-creator hyphenate seemed to dominate.
However, "the rush to celebrate movies about women has a way of feeling both belated and disproportionate," wrote A.O. Scott in the Times. "Pieces of entertainment become public causes and punditical talking points, burdened with absurdly heavy expectations and outsize significance. It should not, after all, be a big deal that movies like Bridesmaids or The Hunger Games exist, perhaps because it should have been a bigger deal when such movies didn't." Just look at all the preemptive Oscar talk about Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty and its female protagonist. The most prominent female Hollywood success stories — like most shining examples of women's progress in 2012 — are, by definition, outliers. That's why we append the word "female," and why any year we declare "Year of the Woman" probably isn't.
That response applies to the realms of politics and sports, too. There's some truth to the argument that holding up trailblazers like the Saudi women athletes or girl geniuses like Lena Dunham normalizes the idea that women can be formidable forces in traditionally male-dominated spheres like politics, sports, and entertainment. Yet the very act of doing so highlights how far we have to go. As New Girl creator Liz Meriwether put it, "If women ran Hollywood, The Hollywood Reporter would have a 'Men in Entertainment' issue every year, and those jerks would have to write something."
I like that more of us seem to be paying attention to and marking the progress toward gender parity in some of the most important arenas of our society. But forgive me if I don't swoon at every declaration we've arrived. Calling it a "year of the woman" both serves up modern successes as historical anomalies (which is rarely the case) and gives us a pass when it comes to dealing with persistent sexism. It's no wonder we're quick to celebrate when we think we've had a breakthrough. A record number of action-flick heroines? A few more women in the Senate? Dozens of female medalists on the podium? That's great! Let's mark it as progress. But let's call it what it is: incremental and hard-won.
