Bunk. We don't live in Iran. There is no duty on me or anyone else to believe in or respect their asinine fairy tale in any way whatsoever, a fact that is no different for Mr Cohen.
This assumption that everyone should and must – under possible force of law – cower and grovel before their absurdity is what offends.
We don't live in Iran. Thank Cher.
However we do still have an official state religion. The head of state is also the head of the state religion. And officials of that state religion influence our laws through their membership of our unelected Upper House.
Indeed true, and I disdain the whole vile thing. And I certainly won't snivel to their ridiculous bronze age djinn.
You have to wonder at their insecurity that they cannot stand to see their fairy tale mocked. Is it really such a weak and puling thing that me, one woman, or Benjamin, one man, could injure it with harsh language (although what Benjamin says is nothing of the sort)?
Do you want to meet gay woman? It's the best place to try something new via —Lesbianmingles— Now start your Lesbian journey.

The christian institute are a hate group.
Anything that pisses off the christian institute can only be a good thing.
There's something I find quite satisfying in looking at this article. Ben's expression in that pic and a headline about CI moaning really has got quite a lovely quality about it.
Do you, like me, want to cuddle him? ;-)
Haha, yes Eddy!! Ben's got a rather cheeky grin in that photo!!
Shameless hussey!
LOL. I know, it is a terrible trait I have, but I'm completely faithful to my hubby! Ben is great eye-candy though!!
I agree, it's his cheeky left simple that makes me weak-kneed!
Erm, dimple!!
"Jesus loves everyone but his message to homosexual community is to turn away from their previous path."
She has quite clearly made that up.
"Using the crucifixion to push a gay rights agenda is a new low, even for the BBC. It's yet another slap in the face to every Christian who pays the licence fee."
I find the BBC quite anti-gay, to be honest.
"The BBC panders to a liberal, politically correct agenda and fails to take the opportunity to explore and educate its listeners about the true meaning of Lent and Easter."
She accuses the BBC of bias, yet calls for a bias towards Christianity?
Another hypocrite, no doubt dreading the day she is outed as such.
And a great many Jews and Israelis consider the BBC to be anti-Israel, so it's hardly part of some BBC left-wing agenda!
THE CI hasn't got too much to complain about. The BBC s basically on their side – e.g. the Catholic Church's anti-gay propaganda on Christmas Day TV "news" bulletins. But is is good to see a little bit more balance now.
Mr. Cohen, you are one theology graduate who has turned out super cool! Well done! I hope your talk will be streamed on PinkNews tomorrow because tonight I and my partner will be out and unable to listen to the broadcast. Please stream?
I'm a Christian – I'm a taxpayer (on two seperate continents!) and I think this is an excellent analogy. Jesus Christ died for all of us, so all of us should be able to see his message.
Jesus is a fictional character you know.
Just pointing that out.
wrong, he was historical figure, whether he was son of god its down to personal faith
You honestly think that we have such detailed description of someone that lived 2000 years ago? Yet we don't have any such description of people that "only" lived 300 years ago?
Stop the dream & believe in what's real.
why dont you for a start familiarise yourself with wikipedia before proceeding to some more advance literature on the subject
Kane, whether X was the son of a god or not is NOT down to "personal faith". There simply are no such things as gods. So it follows that there are no sons of gods.
Get real. Get rational. Chuck the fairy tales.
Many thanks Meg! Solidarity!
Quote: "The Gospel describes Jesus as saying "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" while on the cross, which Mr Cohen will say echoes the fear of abandonment experienced by gay people."
I would have much preferred if he'd said 'Gay people should forsake 'god' as belief in it, is a sure hiding to nothing. Embrace life on earth and ignore 'god'. There is no afterlife after all.'
They want free speech when it comes to them peddling bigotry – but when it comes to open discussion – they whinge like retarded bullies.
The BBC liberal? Since when? But of course it's ok to denigrate gay people on the BBC, Ms. Williams isn't it? These bloody religious nutters get more than their fair share of coverage on the BBC, more than any other group. If they don't like it, don't tune in. We pay licence fees too and if any group has a gripe about that, it's us. We're rarely portrayed in a positive light. Just look at the equal marriage debate for starters, all biased in favour of religious bigots and homophobes.
"…it is a "slap in the face" to Christians…" = BAD. "…it is a [constant, daily] "slap in the face" to LGBT community…" = GOOD. No hypocrisy at the CI.
In other words, "let's have a discussion: you listen to me and keep your mouth shut"
I don;t give a flying crap what the pompously-named Christian Institute or the deranged Williams creature thinks.
If I wanna say "Jesus was an ass-screwing, transexual hooker with the world's first crystal meth habit" that's my right to do so, even tho it is intentionally pissing off their absurd religious feelings.
Ben Cohen has as much right to say whatever the hell he feels like saying, too.
Blasphemy is a non-existent bit of theological bullshit, used only by drooling cretins like Andrea Williams and her drones at the CI.
Ignore the twats!
why include "transsexual" as a derogative term? That is highly offensive.
ass-screwing isn't derogatory, Helen – it's what THEY would find offensive. Duh.
I didn't. You, for some unfathomable reason, just chose to see it that way.
Well said, Sacha!
to hell with the Christian Institute. I could write a book n the way they have spread misinformation about and demonised LGBT people over the last 23 years.
gay christians must be fed up with both extreme evangelicals of christian institute types and extreme gay atheist telling them what to believe in
Well when they come up with any evidence whatsoever that their goofy bronze-age fairy-tale is true then we might stop pillorying them for believing in it.
That's the key, you see – evidence. That's how we determine what is real and what isn't. And the asinine claims of religious people have no evidence to back them up. "You have to believe it on faith" is a non-argument. You can believe anything on faith. Faith is not a mechanism for determining what is true.
I'm sorry, but standing up in public and fervently praising a magic man in the sky who reads minds is a patently and obviously absurd way to carry on. We don't indulge the "I am Napoleon" fantasists, we don't indulge the peddlers of quack medicine and we don't indulge the alien abductee fantasists. The febrile ravings of your christianity are no less ridiculous than any of these, and you get no special indulgence just for being gay I'm afraid.
Just grow up and leave the embarrassments mankind's infancy behind.
"…extreme gay atheist telling them what to believe in"
We don't tell you what to believe [unlike the religious] but rather what you believe is nonsense.
You are obviously a Gay christian so what's it like kissing the hand of your torturer?
angela_k darling, which bit in my post made you to assume that i must be christian, you seems to be very touchy when criticized
Perhaps if you used punctuation it would improve the clarity of your post. You are a religious apologist, that is evident from your previous posts.
what's with the people blaming grammar for their flimsy replys. anyway you say apologist i say non extremist thinking
I'm a gay Atheist, and I don't tell others what to believe in. I just want them to keep their beliefs to themselves and stop trying to dictate to the rest of society, like little despots.
This all comes down to the same thing, one religious group wanting complete control of others. It's a dictatorial mentality, where these people seem to believe that they are superior to others and have the right to control people. They are no better than any nationalistic despot, religious dictator, or extremist organization. They all feed off of the same thing; victimizing and controlling others to make themselves feel more superior.
Once again, people can believe whatever they want to believe. But when that belief is slammed in my face by someone who wants to use it to make me their slave, I will use every weapon in my armoury to show them exactly what I think of them and their poxy little cult.
Cohen makes an excellent point actually that's far from being blasphemous. I always thought that the established Church has become the kind of establishment that that fine young man who many years ago claimed to be the son of God was up against. They claim to speak in his name but it's quite the opposite: they are what he was fighting.
"Jesus loves everyone but his message to homosexual community is to turn away from their previous path."
Okay I want Book, Chapter, and Verse on that one. Jesus never said a THING about homosexuality and in fact healed the sick "servant" of a Roman Centurion (the word here in the Greek is "pais" and meant a slave used for sexual purposes; the anxiety of the Centurion clearly indicates that he was in love with the young man). He NEVER SAID ANYTHING along the lines of "turn away from your previous path" to the Centurion; in fact the Bible says Jesus healed the man's lover and praised him for his faith.
It's in there in black and white and wishing it away won't make it go away.
I just listened to the program on IPlayer here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b01r0ytb
Thanks for the link, was also able to hear it here in Philippines
Ben, that was very interesting listening to your experience of growing-up in the Jewish religion and your fear of abandonment which many of us would identify with. You described very well how young gay people can face rejection from their families and communities due to the influence of religious doctrine. For young gay people in non-religious families I would say that the fear of abandonment is as strong. Rejection by non-religious parents is very possibly due to the influence of underlying religious principles on society in general. As children, many of those parents would have attended churches and grown-up with their beliefs shaped by traditional religious teaching and expectations, even though they became inactive believers as adults. It is appalling that this influence of orthodox religion in society has probably been the root cause of many suicides by gay people.
But the Christian groups think that their hate filled bile they broadcast isn't a slap in the face to gay license payers?
the hypocrisy is unreal.
Do you want to meet gay woman? It's the best place to try something new via —Lesbianmingles— Now start your Lesbian journey.
You were AnnaSmith just a moment ago. Make up your mind!
I'm ignoring the ever-ignorant Christian Institute's screeching – it is not worth bothering about.
However, I did listen to Lent talk by Benjamin Cohen yesterday evening and found it very interesting. I thought it was pretty good, on balance.
Actually I don't think his gayness was the central theme of his discourse, much more central was his experiences as a Jewish child growing up in an Orthodox environment, but going to a Christian school. When he brought his growing awareness of his own sexuality into the mix I think he made it even more interesting. I am no expert on either Judaism or Christianity, so I learned quite a lot about both from listening to it. It was pretty balanced I think.
Worth searching for on the iPlayer if you didn't hear it.
A spokesperson for the Christian Institute described the talk as "a slap in the face" for Christians. Now what is it that Christians are meant to do when slapped in the face?
The BBC has a slogan which fully reflects what the corporation believes it has a responsibility to do – "Nation shall speak peace unto Nation" Ben shall be doing exactly that – a message of peace – by revealing what he believes is the plight of a minority group that Jesus also died on the cross for. Simples. And anyway, the right-wing Christians get more than their fair share of air time on the BBC. Anne Atkins still gets to wibble on about nonesense on Radio 4's "thought for the Day"!
I completely support your message Ben, wasnt it the Christian institute that was complaining about free speach, well it works both ways. We should do more of relating the bible to gay people.
"She added: "The BBC panders to a liberal, politically correct agenda and fails to take the opportunity to explore and educate its listeners about the true meaning of Lent and Easter.""
If religious people want to learn things, surely the go to their respective institutions?
I'm getting that somehow we're now to fall for Religious meaning victim!
Of course we also have the religious who clearly think we're not to think for ourselves, talk for ourselves and not being brain dead to the world by only accepting religious texts.
Benjamin Cohen is right. For the Religious Extremists to use this to focus yet again on hatred it typical…
…oh, and lets talk about "new low for the BBC"…. Christmas Day 2012, condemning the LGBT community and marriage on a day that is supposed to represent good will to all. That was religion at it's worst as well as the BBC.
Religion…. what crap they talk!
So… when are the Christian Institute going to lose their charitable status? I thought that was reserved for organisations that put all of their resources into providing a public benefit. If political campaigns are a "public benefit", then shouldn't Greenpeace, the Taxpayers Alliance and other pressure groups be given charitable status too?
Some criticism was inevitable, but calling this talk 'a new low' is hysterical overkill. Mind you, that has been the Christian Institute's calling card for years. Doubtless they'll be whinging about this on and off for weeks whilst completely ignoring the Cardinal O'Brien scandal.
Well, have just listened to Ben's broadcast, and am delighted that its labyrinthine reasoning will really confound many religious people. Ben skilfully puts the cat amongst the pigeons.
I have to say though that I was disappointed to learn that Ben has been a long-time "believer"!
But, I too was once a believer. There's hope for everyone. We CAN all thrust fairy tales aside and simply embrace a high moral code that does not involve things supernatural.
"Jesus loves everyone but his message to homosexual community is to turn away from their previous path."
Jesus and Andrea Williams are two different people. She appears to have confused one with the other.
Quick expunge the bit where the disciple that Jesus loved rested on His bossom cos Christians are offened by it. Not saying that Jesus was gay but He did die for Gays and Yes He could not help the Love that He loved us with and gave His life for us. that is serious love. for those are not christians here is the deal, it used to be against the Law – homosexuality, Jesus came to change all of that AND PAID the price for it so you and i dont . that my friends is Love.
As a Christian who would agree with the New Testament that homosexual practice is wrong I could still listen to Mr Cohen's broadcast and appreciate his honesty in sharing his experiences. Regarding his comment on the reaction of 'religious' parents to the news that their son/ daughter is gay, maybe he needs to be more understanding of others deeply felt views? And some Christian friends of mine have accepted their son's homosexuality (and his partner) despite their initial shock and misgivings.
"….. agree with the New Testament that homosexual practice is wrong "
Where in the new testament does it say this.
Please point this out.
I refer you to
It is NOT a cut and dried situation.
When are we going to grow some balls as a society and start calling this what it is? It's religious extremism, no better than the Taliban. They might not be physically attacking people, but they are using their "influence" to bully organizations and trying to force others into being just as bigoted as they are.
It's time we stopped pussy footing around this and started to hold these people to account.
No cult should be given an unfair voice against others in the national media. They simply shouldn't be given a stage to preach from when their speech is ignorance and intolerance.
What would be the response if this were an Islamic religious faction making these kinds of statements about white Christians? There would be utter outrage! Why do we accept this bullshit from the right-wing Christian crazies?

Five things rattling around in the head of one New Orleans movie buff:
5. "Who Do You Love?" The period drama about the Chess records label, and which shot in New Orleans and Slidell in late spring 2008 under the working title "Chess," has been picked up by Cinemavalut Releasing and opens in Los Angeles this week, followed by Chicago on April 30. No firm date for New Orleans yet. Stay tuned.
4. It's Tribeca time. The New York film festival cranks up Wednesday, and a couple of locally linked titles are in that number: the promising indie drama "Cairo Time," starring New Orleans native Patricia Clarkson, and the road movie "My Own Love Song," which stars Oscar winners Forest Whitaker and Rene Zellweger and which shot all over south Louisiana in October 2008.
3. I miss you, "Phillip Morris." The edgy romantic comedy "I Love You, Phillip Morris," starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as larcenous lovers and which shot in New Orleans in spring 2008, has been bumped again -- and could be on hold indefinitely. Originally scheduled to open March 26, it was handed a new release date of late July or early August. Now, whisperings emerge that a power struggle over distribution rights could delay it again. Sigh. Are we ever going to get to see this movie?
2. "Red Riding." Last call. The magnificent British crime trilogy starts its final week today at the Zeitgeist Multi-Disciplinary Arts Center. See it.
1. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." The Swedish import, based on the first in the wildly popular book series, plays starting next Thursday (April 22) at the Prytania Theatre as part of the New Orleans Film Society's Film-O-Rama series. I don't care if they're planning an English-language version -- this is a movie not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now at the Prytania box office.

Sir, I Challenge You To A DuelDecember 8, 2011 – 1:18 am by TheBaker
While most of the boxing world was focused on Margarito-Cotto II: El Grudge Match, a few hours earlier and an ocean away, another bout was worthy of headlines.
In what is being called one of the worst robberies in recent memory, British heavyweight Dereck Chisora fell victim to blatant hometown scoring in Helsinki as Finnish heavyweight Robert Helenius escaped with a split decision Saturday and the vacant European championship belt in a match which nearly everyone ringside (aside from the judges) thought Chisora won.
Helenius is being tabbed as a potential threat, or at least heir, to the Klitschko throne. The 27-year old undefeated Finn only has 17 professional bouts under his belt, but he already has wins over Samuel Peter, Lamon Brewster and Sergei Liakhovich, so he has faced more than your average European stiff.
Therefore it makes good business for all involved in the sport to keep Helenius undefeated and on the fast track. Hence Saturday's decision. That, and you basically would have had to murder Helenius to get a decision in Helsinki.
Chisora's promoter, Frank Warren, a 30-year veteran of boxing, called it "one of the worst decisions I've seen in the sport."
Chisora is demanding a rematch – rightfully so. Though Del Boy isn't snatching the mic and going all WWF on us (I refuse to call it WWE, even though I've seen enough World Wildlife Fund Dick Van Dyke commercials to make me reconsider). Instead, Chisora is going new age by calling out the new EBU Heavyweight Champion with a personal blog post. Yup. Hardcore.
The text of that post is after the jump.
Without further ado:
Calls and messages of support following my supposed "loss" to Robert Helenius, have compelled me to break my silence.
On Saturday, the whole world saw yet another travesty in our beloved sport of boxing when the judges dubiously awarded the vacant ECB belt to my opponent, Robert Helenius. So bad was the call that I felt I could have just stayed away in north London and watched Helenius' "coronation" as European Boxing's Lord and Emperor in the comfort of home on the telly!
I am not one to moan and bleat about a bad result. The heavyweight I am is built to take knocks and trips, my champion instincts cajole me to stand up when I fall or lose; and the disciplined professional athlete in me is ever gracious even in the most unjust defeats.
And as Saturday's is one – and a glaring, blatant one – I feel it's only fair that I demand an immediate rematch against Helenius.
The thousands who came to see the fight in that massive Hartwall Areena on Saturday will at the very least privately admit shock and surprise at the decision. Millions other boxing fans watching the bout on the small screens; and starved of a true and exciting heavyweight champion for years, felt as sour in the mouth as I did after the fight.
For me, these are the people who matter because the fans are more important judges than anyone else in my trade and industry.
Those judges overlook one very important fact. Saturday's result will do little to drag the reputation of the world heavyweight boxing category out of the state of crisis which many observers, pundits and fans feel it is enmeshed in.
When I was in that ring alone with Helenius, I saw a lot which no one else in world except the two of us did. Robert will be the first to admit that I gave him the fright of his life. I felt it, I smelt and I touched it. And if he is man enough, he will put that belt back on the table, and I can promise the world, this time I will knock him out and mop the canvas with his head!
I would like to thank all the people that came to the arena, all my fans, promoters and Team Chisora for their belief in support. In you, I know I am a World Champion.

Obama should be their cup of tea
I don't understand why the "Tea Party" seems not to like President Obama. They claim to be for family values; for reduction in taxes; for an improved economy; for Protestant Christianity.
President Obama has a wonderful family with a loving wife, two adorable daughters and a dog; has reduced taxes for the "middle class;" has brought the economy back from the abyss with no help from the Republicans in Congress; and is a practicing Protestant Christian.
So why don't they like him? Oh, I get it. Old prejudices die hard; they don't like him because he's Irish-American!

What a surprise we received from our Island Quilters! Having heard of that we lost all our quilts in our house fire this past June, some of our island quilters spent countless hours working on these beautiful quilts for our family.
We cannot tell you how much the quilts mean to us. We have been surrounded by a community that is so full of love. From the early morning of the fire, our neighbors, the firefighters and Chief O'Brien were steadfast in their diligence, compassionate in their delivery of the news and vigilant in their investigation.
We have not shown our gratitude or appreciation for all their efforts. This past year has been one of our more challenging years as a family - illness, loss and tremendous sadness. The thought that someone would deliberately set our home on fire has been painful and frightening and tarnished the glow of our island paradise. It is the love of a community, demonstrated through this amazingly generous gift that lifted our hearts when we felt such discouragment. I cannot tell you how much gratitude we have for the loving hands of Carol Sutton, Betty Marcum, Lynn Thomerson, Harriet Miller, Linda LIbiez, Sherrie Sheiff, Linda Armstrong, Linda Bryant, Jenny DeGroot, Ellen Harbor, Keri Stone, Kate Marek, Sadie Bailey and Pat Diviny (I apologize for missing any others whose hands and hearts contributed to these quilts).
Please know that when our new home is up, these quilts will remind us of the love of our Orcas community and your timing could not have been more perfect. We have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and our quilts will always remind us of that.
Thank you!

CHICAGO (January 12, 2012) – A 2010 North Park University graduate, along with two companions, will leave the United States next week to start a two-year, 7,000-mile journey from southern Africa to its northern coast. Amy Russell is leading the journey to call attention to the need for clean water to help reduce extreme poverty, and to work toward a fundraising goal of $8 million to raise funds for water projects worldwide.
Russell, 23, who earned a bachelor's degree in business with a concentration in nonprofit management, said the decision to begin the "Africa Walk" is a calling inspired by God. The journey culminates some learnings about poverty while she was a North Park student. Russell was president of the University's chapter of International Justice Mission, a Washington-based human rights agency, and took a class to learn more about human trafficking.
"I wrote some papers on this subject, and it became abundantly clear to me that one of the root causes of human trafficking and human suffering in the world is poverty," Russell said in an interview. Among other things, she also learned that "clean water is a first step in ending extreme poverty." Russell founded "Walk4Water" while she was a University student, an organization that calls attention to clean water needs, and raises funds for water projects. Walk4Water provides the funds to charity:water, New York, which sends 100 percent of its funds for water projects in developing nations.
Russell has walked in the United States, raising attention and funds for clean water. Last summer, she walked through her home state of Connecticut, and she walked 500 miles through California to raise attention for clean water. Walk4Water encourages groups and individuals to arrange similar fundraising experiences.
Russell will leave Newark, N.J., Jan. 18 and fly to Cape Town, South Africa. Two colleagues, Aaron Tharp, and Marty Yoder, will join her. The three will secure a support vehicle and collect supplies for their journey. They are expected to follow some of the eastern coastline of Africa, then travel north along the Nile River through Cairo, Egypt, and to their goal, the Mediterranean Sea. Others from Walk4Water will travel with the trio for selected portions of the trip. Though she has never been to Africa before, Russell and her colleagues have consulted people who have spent time there. Sub-Saharan Africa, she said, is one of the places where clean water needs are greatest. The three expect to "connect with many people, organizations, missionaries and orphanages along the way," she said. They will camp or stay with people during the journey, and volunteer with organizations already working in Africa.
Helping the trio is a U.S.-based team. Matt Vickers, Chicago, support team coordinator, led a team which developed a marketing and fundraising plan for the trip. Vickers got to know Russell on mission trips while they were both University students. He earned a bachelor's degree in advertising and nonprofit management certificate in 2011. Vickers and Russell have talked about the idea of walking through Africa since 2009, he said. His team is also providing prayer support for Russell and the trio in Africa.
Marketing and advertising will be aimed primarily at college students, church groups and others with an interest in the topic, Vickers said. They'll use the Web, social media tools, email, letter-writing and other tactics to spread their messages, raise funds and offer prayer support. At the end of the trip, the Walk4Water team plans to produce materials from the journey, and members will go on a speaking tour in the United States and United Kingdom.
"(This is) a huge goal I know Amy is capable of upholding," said Vickers. "She has a heart for it and strength for it. We've talked about the risks. She's done tons of research and will put herself into it. She's talked with many people who've been missionaries there."
Some North Park University faculty and staff are aware of Russell's dream to do something tangible to bring clean water to people in need. One is Dr. Scot McKnight, Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies, a widely-recognized authority on the New Testament, early Christianity, and the historical Jesus. When Russell told him of the Africa journey, McKnight said he was concerned initially about the group's safety during such a trip.
"I had just returned from South Africa and a few had regaled me with stories of violence, and so her decision concerned me. She said they thought God would protect them (Theology 101 in my face)," he said.
"I have watched Amy and her friends grow and become solidified in this noble pursuit of justice for the poorest of the poor in our world," said McKnight, echoing the University's mission of preparing students for lives of significance and service through education. "I consider it a great privilege to say I was one of Amy's teachers," he added.
Also supporting Russell and her colleagues are members of Trinity Covenant Church, an Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) congregation in Manchester, Conn., the congregation where Russell grew up. She has spoken there about her clean water work, and the congregation's youth group is providing offerings for the Africa Walk. North Park University is affiliated with the ECC.
The most difficult part of preparing for the Africa Walk has been assuring family and friends, Russell said. "My parents are supportive, though it took them a while to adjust to this idea," she said. Russell has one sibling, a sister, 19.
"This is definitely about God telling me to do this. I believe in the cause of clean water. I hope this inspires people to think bigger about the world, and believe in bigger things," she said.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: A portion of the Parkview Historic District, bounded roughly by Orleans Avenue on the east, Lafitte Street on the west, Bayou St. John/North Jefferson Davis Parkway on the north, and North Rocheblave Street on the south. The district continues and widens north of Bayou St. John.
The area is the site of a wide passageway between Lafitte and St. Louis streets that was once the location of the Carondelet Canal, dug beginning in 1794 when Francisco Luis Hector de Carondelet was the Spanish governor of the Louisiana Territory.
Carondelet envisioned a waterway that would serve as both a drainage and navigation canal linking Bayou St. John to the heart of the city (Basin Street was the site of the canal's turning basin). Originally, the canal was just 6 feet wide and 3 feet, 6 inches deep, but it grew in size during successive revamps and was officially named "Canal Carondelet" by the Cabildo before its 1796 dedication.
After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, the canal's economic potential attracted the attention of James Pitot -- an early mayor of New Orleans -- who organized the Orleans Navigation Co. in 1805 to ensure the canal's upkeep and deepening. In 1817, the improved canal opened for navigation.
Business boomed but began to diminish after the 1830s when the New Basin Canal was dug through the American sector of the city, in direct competition with the Carondelet (or "Old Basin") Canal.
In 1927, the Carondelet Canal was deemed unsuitable for navigation and in 1938 was filled in, leaving only a small portion close to North Broad Street still visible.
THE BLOCK: The 3200 block of Lafitte Street on the odd-numbered, or east, side of the street, between North Rendon Street on the north and North Lopez Street on the south.
The popular Parkview Bakery is just a couple of blocks away, as is Bayou St. John.
THE HOUSES: Six houses built in the early 20th century in the Arts and Crafts style, including one single shotgun, a bungalow and four double shotguns.
When geographer Richard Campanella wrote about the Carondelet Canal in his 2002 book "Times and Place in New Orleans," he noted: "The former bed of the Carondelet Canal is now a conspicuously open swath of land through the otherwise densely populated neighborhoods between the French Quarter and Bayou St. John. ... The grassy corridor still touches the 'headwaters' of Bayou St. John exactly where it did in 1796, now at the junction of Lafitte Street with Jefferson Davis Parkway."
Campanella forecast that the "conspicuously open swath" likely wouldn't remain that way for long, and the Friends of the Lafitte Corridor have proved him right.
Today, they are again hiking the 3-mile length of the corridor along the old Carondelet Canal path and beyond, starting at 10 a.m. from a meeting point on the Orleans Avenue side of Armstrong Park.
I decide earlier in the week to scout out the hike's planned route and stop for a Street Walk in 3200 block of Lafitte Street.
Anatomy of the block
I start at the corner of North Rendon and Lafitte, walking a bit before I'm in front of the first house on the block.
Like most of the others on the block, it's an Arts and Crafts double shotgun with a front-facing gable, wood columns atop brick pedestals and rafter tails exposed in the eaves. Painted a gleaming white, the house features a wide and deep green metal awning that stretches across the façade, rather like a tinted visor on a card player.
It does its intended job -- it blocks out the afternoon sunlight so well that it casts the façade in a deep shadow, making it all but impossible to divine its details. I'm determined, though, so I look up instead of ahead and manage to pick out a diamond pattern of panes in the gable window (painted white like the siding, disguising them).
A red oleander in full bloom blocks the view of the one-story bungalow next door, so I move on to the third house on the block, a tall and narrow single shotgun raised high off the ground.
It adheres to the Arts and Craft theme established by the first house and features the same front-facing gable, exposed rafter tails and wood columns atop brick pedestals. Here, no awning obscures the finer details of the façade, and I am able to see the three-part entry assembly -- a central door flanked by multi-paned sidelights.
Judging by its paired entry assemblies and the angle brackets in the front-facing gable, the blue double next door seems to share the single's architectural DNA. I can't see the actual gable windows here, because they are covered with siding, but I can admire the flared trim flanking them left and right and giving the gable a little extra panache. I can also appreciate the gentle flare of the wood half-columns at the porch edge, as well as the application of smooth stucco over the column pedestals.
I walk on and come to what I decide is my favorite house on the block. It isn't because of any detail in particular or a stunning paint scheme. Rather, it's because of the idiosyncratic display on the front porch and the somewhat decadent appeal of its faded beauty. Who knows what color the house is intended to be? But after years of weathering and sun exposure, it's now a soft pinkish beige with one brilliant blue door and a second one that hasn't decided yet what color it wants to be.
A purple fireplace mantel on the front porch holds a few terra-cotta pots with plants, and above it hangs a hand-painted sign: "Love Life." What excellent advice! I look up to the gable with its handsome pair of gable windows surrounded by flared trim. So what if the paint is peeling or if a few panes are missing?
I reach the corner and another double, this one without the front porch that is an element common to all the other houses on the block. I'll confess, it isn't the house that interests me, but the two-tone blue car out front.
Life on the street
August Callaway is busy at work on his beloved 2001 Chevrolet Impala. The trunk is open, the hood is up and the radio serenades him (and me) as he labors.
I look near the stoop in front of his house and spot a car body part freshly painted a dazzling blue.
"I've been fooling with this car for about a year," Callaway tells me. "You might have guessed that my favorite color is blue."
I am astonished that Callaway has undertaken the paint job himself and tell him I had no idea such a thing was possible. How did he know what to do?
"I watch TV, and they have all kinds of shows on. It didn't seem too hard, so I just tried it," he tells me.
When I spot a photo of a smiling baby on his dashboard, I ask about it.
"That's my son, Tevyn," Callaway says. "He was just a baby when we took this, but now he's 5 years old."
As if on cue, a little boy comes to the front door to see what's going on. But before I can talk to him, Callaway's mother shows up with hot food and cold drinks.
I leave Callaway to his family, but not before he exacts from me a promise to return and take a picture of his car for him when the work is 100 percent complete.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Thanks to individuals and corporate donors, Family & Children Services' annual Holiday Giving Program surpassed all expectations in the past month by helping 1,134 people in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and the surrounding area.
The number of individuals served this year was double that of prior years, according to Family & Children Services' Director of Resource Development Courtenay VanderMolen.
Dale Hein, newly named coordinator of the agency's Holiday Giving Program, said he observed "a dramatic increase in need in our community, and a corresponding increase in generosity to address that need."
"The number of families qualifying for participation in the program continues to grow," Hein said. "The Holiday Giving program is a wonderful example of how the community and Family & Children Services address the needs of families during the Holiday season."
Family & Children Services' mission is to "support, strengthen and preserve the safety, well-being and dignity of children, individuals and families." Through the Holiday Giving Program, the agency matches donors with client families in need. Many of these families include some of the most vulnerable children in Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties.
Donors ranged from school classes, college-age students, local churches, neighborhood groups, medical establishments, local businesses and industries to caring individuals who stepped forward to meet the needs of those less fortunate in southwestern Michigan.
This year, 78 donors "adopted" families through Family & Children Services and then provided gifts and food for the family that had been chosen for them. What was remarkable this year was the level of giving, Hein noted.
Significant in-kind contributions also were made by: Kalamazoo Country Day School, Plante Moran, Barnes & Noble, St. Michael's Lutheran Church, St. Catherine's Church, Westwood United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church in Richland, First United Methodist Church, Gull Lake View Golf Club/Jon Scott , Stewart & Co., Kalamazoo Garden Council, VanderSalm's Flower and Garden Shop, Kalamazoo Public Library, Little Sprout Children's Boutique, Youngblood Family, Take Me Transportation, Breakfast Optimist Club of Kalamazoo, Stryker Women's Network, Binky Patrol, Ryan Intermediate School in Richland, Eaton Filtration, Comstock Community Center Knitters' Club, Cass County Council on Aging, MLive Media Group, Ballet Arts Ensemble, UWBCKR Labor Liaison, FTCH, and Behnke Trucking.
In addition, more than 22 individuals and volunteers made donations to the agency's Holiday Store and assisted during the Holiday Giving Program.
"Whether it be the gift of food and gifts to families and children in need or a donation to the agency's Holiday Store, you can be assured that 1,134 individuals in need had a brighter holiday season this year," Hein wrote to generous donors this week.
"We cannot tell you how much this means to our family," wrote one of the many recipients. "Thank you for everything and we hope in the future we can repay you and the organizations that have helped."
In fact, one of this year's donors was a recipient through the program in a prior year, Hein said.
One local recipient, in a heartfelt thank-you letter, wrote, "I am 10 years old and nobody but my mom has been so nice." Giving, she noted, "is not only about what you receive, it is also about what you believe."
"You made two boys very happy," wrote another recipient. "I hope someday I might be able to return your kindness. There are truly angels among us."
For more information about helping local families and children in need throughout the year, call 269-344-0202, ext. 413, or go to fcsource.org online.

Next Tuesday's projected high temperature is -1 Farenheit.
And, no, that's not the forecast for Anchorage, Alaska.
It's the forecast for Warren.
The chilly temperatures start today, with a high of 9. National Weather Service Meteorologist Craig Evanego said on Thursday that they are projecting Friday's low around zero degrees with a wind chill around -20 Friday morning.
"Tomorrow (Friday), temperatures aren't going to rebound much," he said.
A wind chill advisory is in effect until Friday at noon. The advisory states that wind chill readings could fall "to 15 to 20 below zero tonight and Friday morning."
Winds during the period of the advisory will reach 10-20 miles per hour with gusts up to 30 mph.
"We expect the winds to pick up behind this system," said Craig. "It's going to pull some very cold air into the region from Canada."
There will be an improvement over the weekend though as temperatures will get into the 20s and 30s on Saturday and Sunday.
That's when the arctic temperatures descend on the region.
While the high on Monday is projected at 16, the low is -7.
"As the colder air starts to come in, any precipitation will change back to snow Sunday night into Monday," said Evanego. "We're looking for a low Sunday night in the 20s" with temperatures dropping as the day progresses.
Tuesday's high? -1.
Evanego said that Tuesday could bring wind chills of -20 to -30 degrees below zero.
"If you have to be out, you want to be very bundle(d) up," said Evanego.
Todd Lake, Warren County public safety director, offered several suggestions to ensure safety during these very frigid days.
Lake suggested keeping stocked on batteries, for items such as flashlights and a portable radio, checking smoke and carbon monoxide alarms as well as checking electrical connections on heat tapes.
Lake also cautioned people to be very careful with auxiliary heating, being sure to check cords on electric heaters, keep combustibles away from auxiliary heaters and have kerosene heaters professionally serviced.
He suggested having a winter kit in your car that includes items such as a blanket, flashlight, shovel, cell phone charger and water/food.
Temperatures are projected to improve on Wednesday, getting back into the teens, before moving into the 30s for the weekend.

CEDAR LAKE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) – After the school shooting in Newtown, CT, a similar threat is made in northwestern Indiana.
A Cedar Lake man is in police custody after threatening to kill people at an elementary school near his home.
Police were called to the home of Von Meyer after he threatened to set his wife on fire, and then enter Jane Ball Elementary School and kill as many people as possible.
Authorities found 47 guns and ammunition worth over $100,000 in his home.
Meyer is charged with four counts of felony intimidation, one count of misdemeanor domestic battery, and two counts of misdemeanor resisting law enforcement. He is being held without bail at the Lake County, Ind. jail.

Get out your tuxedos, dress shoes and light-up bunny ears (or whatever fits your personal brand of whimsy) - the Snow Ball is here again!
The annual gala gives art lovers in Jersey City and Hudson County a chance to dress up in their best "black tie creative" outfits and socialize while raising money for local arts group Art House Productions' next season of programming.
"By creating an exciting, theatrical and truly original fundraising event, we hope to attract new supporters to our organization and get people excited about what we're doing," said Founder Christine Goodman.
Last year's event broke records for the Jersey City group, with record attendance and over $12,000 in proceeds, Goodman said. This year, she says guests will have a ball with live music from local band The One and Nines and jams spun by DJ George "Soul" Fernandez.
The event will also feature food from local businesses like LITM, Hamilton Inn, Satis Bistro and soon-to-open restaurant GP's. Made with Love will supply desserts while Chopin Vodka, Wine Sisterhood and Kane Brewing Company will stock the event's open bar.
A silent auction will also allow guests to bid on visual art by local artists, a weekend stay in a luxury apartment through rental company NYCJC.com, a one-year membership to Zipcar with driving credits, gym memberships, gift certificates and more.
All things aside, Snow Ball truly shines as a community event, Goodman said.
"There's no stuffiness or uncomfortable silences where you hear nothing but the clinking of glasses," she said. "This is about meeting your neighbors, connecting and about having a great reason to get dressed up in the middle of winter.
"We create an environment where people really interact with one another," she said.
Funds raised from this year's Snow Ball will help fund programs like youth theater academy STAGES!, Kids Fest on Jan. 28, an original play this spring, a modern dance showcase, an electronic music festival and more.
Snow Ball will be held Saturday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. at Art House Productions, 1 McWilliams Pl., Jersey City. Guests are encouraged to wear creative black tie outfits - even including costume wear - but costumes are not required. Tickets are $70 before Jan. 16, $80 afterward. For tickets and information, visit ArtHouseProductions.org.

According to a top aide, Governor Tom Corbett's bid to privatize the lottery is still alive.
Sources said an agreement has been reached between the state and British firm Camelot Global Services to extend the firm's bid to run the Pennsylvania Lottery.
The original bid expired on Saturday after new Attorney General Kathleen Kane rejected the contract between the two, citing it unconstitutional.
The original deal between Corbett and Camelot was a 30-year contract that promised to bring in at least $3.5 billion in revenue for the state.
The governor does have the option to challenge Kane's decision in court.

Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis
Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) is a subtype of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc; see this term) characterized by truncal and acral skin fibrosis with an early and significant incidence of diffuse involvement (interstitial lung disease, oliguric renal failure, diffuse gastrointestinal disease, and myocardial involvement).
The prevalence is estimated at about 1/25,000 adults. Women are predominantly affected (F/M sex ratio around 4:1).
The disease usually manifests at between 40 and 50 years of age. Pediatric onset can occur but is extremely rare. Raynaud's phenomenon is often the first sign of the disease. The other signs usually appear a few months later. Skin hardening first occurs on the fingers and face, but rapidly becomes generalized. Telangiectasias are sometimes present on the thorax, face, lips, tongue, and fingers. Tendon friction rubs are observed. Esophageal dysmotility is common and provokes gastroesophageal reflux and sometimes dysphagia. Gastrointestinal malabsorption and dysmotility may also be present and are associated with weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea or occlusion. Dry mouth and dental involvement can occur. Arthralgias and acroosteolysis are frequent. Muscular involvement can lead to muscular pain and weakness, and cramps. Severe life-threatening renal involvement may occur (about 2% of cases). Pulmonary fibrosis is frequently seen (60% of cases). Pulmonary hypertension may also occur (10-15% of cases).
The exact cause of diffuse cutaneous SSc is unknown. The disease originates from an autoimmune reaction which leads to overproduction of collagen. In some cases, the condition is associated with exposure to chemicals (including silica, solvents and hydrocarbons).
Diagnosis is based on typical clinical manifestations and on evidence of specific microangiopathy with giant loops on nailfold capillaroscopy. Skin biopsy is usually not needed. Blood tests must be performed, and show typical antitopoisomerase autoantibodies in 30-40% of cases. The extent of the disease should be evaluated by computed tomography (CT), electrocardiogram, echocardiography, radiography of the hands and esophageal and gastric fibroscopy if needed.
Differential diagnoses include Sharp syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, polymyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis (see these terms).
Management is mostly symptomatic. Raynaud's phenomenon can be treated with calcium channel blockers. Proton pomp inhibitors are given for gastric reflux. Surgical resection of severe calcinosis may be required. Low doses of corticosteroids with immunosuppressive agents are needed in cases with recent severe cutaneous involvement or in progressive lung fibrosis. Pulmonary vasodilators are given in case of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients require regular clinical follow-up with early pulmonary function tests and echocardiography.
The prognosis is severe (10-year survival rate of 60-80%) because of the high risk of life-threatening complications: renal crisis, severe digestive involvement, severe lung fibrosis, and, sometimes, severe heart involvement and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Polar Bears in Peril? Not really!
The Telegraph reports:
Pictures of a polar bear floating precariously on a tiny iceberg have become the defining image of global warming but may be misleading, according to a new study.
A survey of the animals' numbers in Canada's eastern Arctic has revealed that they are thriving, not declining, because of mankind's interference in the environment.
In the Davis Strait area, a 140,000-square kilometre region, the polar bear population has grown from 850 in the mid-1980s to 2,100 today.
"There aren't just a few more bears. There are a hell of a lot more bears," said Mitch Taylor, a polar bear biologist who has spent 20 years studying the animals.
His findings back the claims of Inuit hunters who have long claimed that they were seeing more bears.
Read it here?
But…, but…, but…, didn't the Gorians tell us that global warming was bringing the bears to the brink of extinction? And didn't they have "scientists" on their side?
Why…, yes they did!
Oh well, maybe "scientists" can be wrong…, and if they are…, should we be basing public policy on their recommendations?
Just asking.

The event commemorates the 60th anniversary of the bonds organization. The guest speaker will be retired Brigadier Gen. Yehuda Halevy, who served as president and CEO of the bonds from 1982-88. He is president of the S. Daniel Abraham Strategic Dialogue Center at Netanya College in Israel.
"I am grateful for the generosity of the donor that originally presented the College of Staten Island with a gift of an Israel bond, resulting in the creation of the Marcus Memorial Scholarship at CSI," Morales said.
"I am pleased that CSI students in nursing and allied health programs have the opportunity to receive financial support thanks to the proceeds generated from this investment. I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the estate of Else T. Marcus and the College of Staten Island. I also congratulate State of Israel Bonds on its 60th anniversary."
The Boyerker Scholarship Fund, founded by the estate of Staten Island physician Dr. Else T. Marcus, established the Dr. Else T. Marcus Memorial Fund Scholarship at CSI in June 1989 with a gift in the form of an Israel bond. The endowment provides scholarship assistance to a minimum of four CSI students per year studying nursing or allied health programs. Marcus Hall, the academic building on the CSI campus that houses the college's nursing program, is named in the physician's honor.
"We are very proud to recognize the College of Staten Island for its recent Israel bond reinvestment," said bonds president and CEO Joshua Matza.
"We are particularly pleased that the college's investment in Israel will assist many CSI students."
The breakfast, co-chaired by Dr. Zalman Brody and Ya'acov Rosenrauch, is a community bonds activity held in conjunction with 20 Staten Island synagogues and Jewish organizations. The breakfast will be at 10 a.m. at the Bernikow JCC at 1466 Manor Rd. Reservations are $30 per person. For reservations or information, contact Robert Lunzer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-446-5835.

Scherzer's market value: 7 years, $196 million?
Those are the numbers floated out by Jim Bowden of MLB Network Radio and ESPN in his latest piece Monday (ESPN Insider subscription required). That fits with reports earlier this offseason that Scherzer and agent Scott Boras were seeking contract terms matching or surpassing what Justin Verlander agreed to last spring.
It's a huge commitment, but it's not hard to see Scherzer getting that on the open market next winter. Bowden, however, thinks the Tigers could at least come close enough to keep him. Scherzer and Boston's Jon Lester are Bowden's two picks for pending free-agent starters most likely to sign new contracts by Opening Day.
Even though Scherzer is represented by Scott Boras, who prefers to take his clients to free agency, it appears Scherzer prefers to remain loyal to the Tigers — if they're willing to pay him close to his market value of seven years, $196 million.
Tigers President Dave Dombrowski has a long history of doing deals with Boras, and the moves Dombrowski has made this offseason to reduce payroll give him enough room to get this deal done.
Verlander signed last spring for seven years and $180 million guaranteed, with a $22 million vesting option for 2020 that would be guaranteed if he finishes in the top five in 2019 Cy Young voting. If you count the option, then Verlander had the first $200 million contract for a pitcher, but Clayton Kershaw was the first to get $200 million guaranteed.
Both Team Boras and the Tigers are keeping pretty quiet on the Scherzer front these days. Dave Dombrowski is scheduled to have one more media session later this week before heading to Lakeland.

Totally Frightful Statistic: Gay Swiss HIV
While the boys from Feast of Fools are fighting AIDS in Africa, health officials in Switzerland are reeling from statistics pointing to a horrific rise of HIV among gay men.
Swiss Info reports:
The number of new HIV infections among gay and bisexual men in Switzerland has almost doubled over the past three years….In 2005, 49.3 per cent of all men diagnosed as HIV-positive were gay or bisexual, whereas they represented 36.5 per cent in 2004.
Officials say that the sharp increase stems from lack of awareness and a lowering of sexual guards in the age of medical advancements.
What's more, administrators hold the internet at least partially responsible:
The Federal Health Office also highlights the growth in internet chat sites, which enable people to meet in different places from traditional locations, such as saunas and sex clubs, which are targeted by prevention campaigns.
Some scary shit, that.
Any increase in HIV rates is bad news, but the alarm expressed here seems a bit exaggerated.
Looking more closely at the numbers cited in the full article, they don't really show all that much growth in HIV infections among gay/bisexual men. In 2004, Switzerland had 298 new HIV diagnoses, of which 109 (36.5%) were in gay/bisexual men. In 2005, the total number of new diagnoses actually dropped, to 234. Of those, 116 (49.3%) were in gay/bisexual men.
Sure, a change from from 36% to 49% sounds "horrific." But the actual increase from 109 to 116 infections? Except in the sense that even one new infection is horrific, that doesn't seem so meaningful.
At worst, it shows that Swiss gays aren't making the same progress against HIV as other groups in that country.Oct 30, 2006 at 6:05 pm · @Reply ·

"The Google Trusted Store" – name says it all. As a buyer I will always prefer to purchase something that is trusted and secured. How do you know an e-commerce website is secured and trusted? Most of the trusted badge is generated from some JavaScript without any strong verification. A simple logo or trusted badge doesn't guarantee that an online store is trusted. Why Google Trusted Store is special? Because to show up the badge on your site, you really have to work on the site and verify over along period of time. After a long period of time, Google will make sure you meet every criteria and only then it allows your to show the trusted badge on your site. You are not done there. Google continuously check quality of order delivery, shipment time etc. If you fail continue the quality of service, they will take off the badge from your site. So this is really a good way to know if you can get guaranteed service from an online store.
Now let's see how we can implement Google Trusted Store on your website.
There are 4 steps to follow
- Account Setup – You can follow the instructions here.
- Create and Submit Your Feed – This one has 3 more steps. First step is to connect your Google Trusted Store account with your Google Merchant Centre account.
In order to submit feeds for Google Trusted Stores, you'll first need to link a Google Merchant Center account to your Google Trusted Stores account. You can do this by selecting an account from the Choose an account dropdown in your Trusted Stores account, linking the accounts directly from Google Merchant Center, or creating a new Merchant Center account.
Next is to output shipment feed and cancelled order feed. I have created an example. Please check this out from here. Get the "shipment_feed.php" and "cancellation_feed.php" – Each file explains where to place them.
After creating your feeds, you'll submit them through the Google Merchant Center account linked to your Google Trusted Stores account. If you have not yet linked your Google Trusted Stores account to your Google Merchant Center account, please visit your Google Trusted Stores account to complete this process.
You can see the Google Merchant Center account feeds linked to your Google Trusted Stores account by visiting http://www.google.com/trustedstores/sell/setupfeeds
- Add JavaScript to Your Site – Please get the "google_trusted_store_badge.php" and "order_confirmation.php" and place them in your pages as I mentioned at the top of each page. Update: Domain name must be with www. http won't work.
- Monitoring Period – After all the above steps, you have to wait 28 days or 250 trackable orders. But before that you can make sure your integration is correct from here https://www.google.com/trustedstores/sell/setupcode trag to bottom, select your trusted store and click on "Test Now". If you see the preview of trusted store then your are good. Make sure you complete an order to finish the full testing.
If you face any problem to integrate Google Trusted Store in your website, contact me. I can help you to set it up properly.

This fall, the property's owners moved to restore some of the hotel's faded luster by recruiting help from much closer to home: Charleston, S.C.
David Teich, the Windsor Court's new general manager, is the former food and beverage director of Charleston Place, a luxury hotel that, like the Windsor Court, is owned by Orient-Express Hotels. Among Teich's tasks is to halt the decline of the New Orleans Grill, which in recent years has struggled to live up to the reputation established in its glory days, when it was still called the Grill Room.
His first step was to hire Drew Dzejak as the hotel's new executive chef. The 29-year-old comes from the Palmetto Cafe, the relaxed alternative to Charleston Place's marquee restaurant, the Charleston Grill.
"His main focus is to help me get this restaurant back to being fantastic, " Teich said of Dzejak. "It's my understanding that this restaurant was among the best in the world 10 years ago."
That was back when the Grill Room was still an incubator of hot culinary talent, when chefs like Kevin Graham, Jeff Tunks and Rene Bajeux presided over a place locals regarded as a paragon of forward-looking cuisine and top-shelf service.
But the restaurant, which changed its name to the New Orleans Grill in 2003, has been on shaky ground for much of this decade. Dzejak will be its sixth chef in less than eight years. And he's not the only new one: Sara Kavanah is the restaurant's new manager, and Shun Li the hotel's new pastry chef. Both also come from Charleston Place.
Teich described all of the new hires as young and hungry talents, and his hope is that they will entice locals back to a restaurant he acknowledges has been unsteady. While all are new to New Orleans, it's worth pointing out that the Charleston Grill has for years now managed to maintain, first under chef Louis Osteen and now Bob Waggoner, the kind of stature that the Grill Room once enjoyed.
Teich said Dzejak, who arrived in town three weeks ago, has been spending time at the local farmers markets and is currently working on a new menu.
"What he's going to be about is contemporary American cuisine with a fresh, local Southern influence, " Teich said.
Whatever the chef creates, Teich expects it to be delivered in a restaurant with a spring in its step.
"We're making an effort to bring back the locals, to recognize how important they are, " he said. "We're working on brightening up the room, and we're working on music to give it a little kick. We don't only want to be a special occasion restaurant."

The Archdiocese of New Orleans said Jan Daniel Lancaster, a former elementary school principal in Mandeville and chair of the education department at Our Lady of Holy Cross College, will be the next superintendent of parochial schools.
The archdiocese scheduled a news conference Friday to present Lancaster, who will lead a system with 28,000 students in 69 schools.
Lancaster spent seven years as principal of Mary, Queen of Peace school in Mandeville, where enrollment tripled during her tenure.
Before that she was the principal at St. Agnes in Jefferson and assistant principal at Our Lady of the Lake in Mandeville.
She holds a doctorate in education administration from the University of Memphis in 2003.
Lancaster left at the end of the last school year to teach at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. Its website lists her as chair of the department of education.
Lancaster will replace Sister Kathleen Finnerty, an Ursuline nun who came to the job in 2007.
Archbishop Gregory Aymond asked for the resignation of Finnerty and three other top school officials last year in a broad shake-up of educational leadership.
Catholic schools generally face increased educational competition from public schools revived under the post-Hurricane Katrina charter schools experiment.
The number of students attending local Catholic schools has fallen by 5 percent since 2007.

Date of Stay: February, 2013
Close to all conveniences. Clean restrooms, but the laundry needs updating. There is a huge open air market on the weekends, but it doesn't affect the campgrounds.
Date of Stay: February, 2013
The owners and other campers were very nice and friendly. It is close to shopping, a Walmart, large grocery store, and very central to area attractions, beach, fishing, etc. They have a camp fire on Friday and Saturday nights so everyone can get together and socialize. One of the best campgrounds we've been in. Owners went out of their way to help us with any of our requests. You won't be disappointed camping here. We will be definitely going back.
