Research | Current
- Mediaeval and Greek philosophy
- History and philosophy of logic
Currently working on a study of the development of logic in the middle ages to be called Negation and its Consequences. The study consists of three volumes. Volume 1, devoted to Boethius, argues that late antique logic had no notion of propositionality and so could easily accept the connexive principles implied in Book II of the Prior Analytics. Volume 2 argues that Peter Abaelard was the first to fully formulate the notion of propositionality and that he tried to save connexive logic with a distinction between an intensional and a hyperintensional conditional. Volume 3 explores the consequences of the failure of Abaelard's enterprise and the appearance of competing logics for the conditional in the Parisian schools of the twelfth century.
Other major research interests are ancient and mediaeval semantics and mediaeval attempts to reconcile divine foreknowledge with human freedom.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
No, nature has her own timetable & interfering in such matters can cause problems. If your vet anticipates a C-section may be necessary obviously this can be scheduled but the cost of this procedure can well exceed $1000. Sometimes providing some light exercise my help to speed up the process but should be done very cautiously. I would never risk the dog's health by urging excessive exercise.
If you feel your dog is overdue & fear complications I would advise you speak with your vet about this matter.
Often it's difficult to know exactly when conception occurred so it's entirely possible her actual due date may be still a few days away. The only other thing I could suggest is red raspberry tea. This is often used by some breeders & is reported to make whelping easier but I seriously doubt it will aid in inducing labor. If you're not taking her temp twice a day I would recommend doing that so you'll at least know when labor is imminent. Generally once the temp settles into the 98-99 degree range you can expect labor within 24 hours.
Often if a bitch is having problems delivering an injection of oxytocin is given but this is ONLY done after labor has begun.
I'm including a few links which may help you to know more of what to expect.

Nice receiver, reliable and beautiful with a very good warm sound.
re: SX-434
Blessed be the soul of TibouTip, thank you very much for the owner's manual for this receiver. I bought mine dead, but I got it fixed and now it's all pretty and sweet and nice sounding and I love it very much and I use it every day. Thanks again.

Had a great time: Astor Cruise Review by cruisewa
Overall Member Rating
Had a great time
Destination: Cruise to Nowhere
Embarkation: Perth (Fremantle)
We were a group of 10 that went on the Astor in March 2014 for a 3 night cruise to nowhere (Busselton).
My Comments:
Boarding: was very smooth and quick. Took about 20 minutes from arrival at Terminal to cabin.
Cabin: outside twin, very comfortable and very very clean
Meals: overall would rate 4 out of 5. Good food and service, with a great wine list including western Australian wines.
The boat: is what I would call boutique – a small vessel with about 600 passengers when full. The public areas had a really nice feel and our favourite spot was the Captains Club bar. Having been on a few P and O boats, by comparison this one is cosier, and very clean – the public toilets spotless as well.
Entertainment: again very enjoyable, though the sound system was not balanced promptly on the 2nd night's performance.
Disembarkation: More probably my main criticism was the queue to drop off your cabin key, confirm you have paid the bill and retrieve your passport/photo ID – this took about 30 – 40 minutes.
Disabled access (wheelchair) – as with many ships of this style and age – I noted the corridors are not ideal (not wide) for wheelchairs, and the lift takes ages.
Would I recommend to others? Yes Less

Thread: Why Parents drink
Why Parents drink
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper.
"Hello?" "Is your daddy home?" he asked.
"Yes, "whispered the small voice.
"May I talk with him?"
The child whispered, "No."
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"
"May I talk with her?"
Again the small voice whispered, "No."
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"
"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"
"No, he's busy," whispered the child.
"Busy doing what?"
"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
Growing more worried as he heard a loud noise in the background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, "What is that noise?"
"A helicopter," answered the whispering voice.
"What is going on there?" demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, "The search team just landed a helicopter."
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle........."ME."

New MIT Nanotech Fights Cancer Naturally
Levi Beckerson
September 20, 2010 8:30 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Harnessing the body's own defense forces to fight cancer with nanoscale technology.
In the myriad advances in treating cancer, many a nanotech study has crossed
path. This week another such study was revealed by the journal
Nature Medicine
(abstract). In the past, we've seen all sorts of man-made nanoparticles both acting as a force of cell destruction and as a ferry, shipping anti-tumor drugs straight to cancer cells where they can be of the most benefit. This latest method by Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers is akin to the latter, but instead of using nanoparticles to deliver drugs, they deliver modified immune cells from the patient's own body.
Dr. Darrell Irvine, the team leader for the MIT study, spoke optimistically of the new treatment. "What we're looking for is the extra nudge that could take immune-cell therapy from working in a subset of people to working in nearly all patients, and to take us closer to cures of disease rather than slowing progression."
The process by which the treatment is administered
seems straightforward
. T cells, a type of white blood cell which is involved in cell-mediated immunity, are harvested from the patient's blood. They are then treated in such a way so that they specifically target cancer cells. The new T cells are then attached to a lipid-based nanoparticle filled with interleukins. Interleukins are a type of chemical that helps promote the growth of T cells. Finally, the T cell and interleukin-laden nanoparticles are injected back into the patient, where the T cells seek out the tumors they've been programmed to destroy. The interleukins help maintain a healthy T cell count to combat the cancer cells directly without causing aberrant production elsewhere in the body.
The final part here is important. Interleukin treatments have already been widely tested in cancer patients to promote cancer-fighting T cell growth, but the treatments can have devastating side effects including heart and lung failure. The targeted approach used by Irvine's group holds the runaway T cell production process in check by only allowing those at the tumor's area to be affected.
In a trial using mice, the treatment was found to be 100% effective. While standard T cell or T cell and interleukin treatment mice died after 75 days, the control mice died after only 25 days and the mice given the nanoparticle treatment lived on past the 100 day limit of the study.

Balls. Think that might have been my fault. You're not alone, GGM.
Woah! What a sprint!
I am so glad I forgot when the F1 started, when I was heading out this morning. I'd probably not have gone out otherwise, missing out on wind, rain, hail, mud, sheepshit, cowshit, hawthorns and nettles. \o/
♥ my bike.
Kittel's sprint was absolutely ridiculous today. He was so far back.
Not that I mind. Both him and Ben Swift are in my Fantasy Giro team, which goes a little way to making up for poor old Dan Martin.
Anyone here use trainerroad and its virtual power feature? Would you recommend it?
Thinking about setting it up to improve my directionless trainer workouts.
Can't hurt to try it out, as long as it gives consistent feedback you can't go wrong. Consistency trumps accuracy where measurement are concerned.
Alternatively you could train to your heart rate, HRMs are pretty cheap these days.
Yes I currently train to HR, and while I find this useful for running, I've heard its not as beneficial for cycling
The trainerroad guys seem to suggest using the virtual power over HR for their workout calibrations. I also wouldn't mind doing that FTP test and seeing how that improves over time
But sure, cant hurt to try. Will set it up next week sometime

Yeah, I think it's a really effective system, which fundamentally is what you want from it. I train to enjoy my rides, I tend not to use my actual riding time to consciously "get fitter."
As Elstoof says, the most important thing is consistency in setup so you get accurate comparisons. In other words, use the same resistance setting on your trainer (or same turns on the contact wheel), same tyre psi.
It's worth getting a trainer tyre if you can, turbos are pretty hard on them.
You need to do the FTP test to scale the plans to your level of fitness, otherwise they won't work as intended.
Also, the FTP test is a bit confusing in trainer road. It's about the only confusing one. It'll set you up with a default power, so the normal approach of "follow the line" doesn't work. You need to go as hard as you can sustain, either 2 eight minute blocks with a gap, or one 20 minute block. If you're not getting tunnel vision at the very end, you didn't go hard enough
Kittel is out of the Giro too.

Anyone got any pro tips on cycling shoes, I bought some DHB ones last year but they weigh a fucking ton and aren't that comfortable tbh, looking for something that protects the cleats too though
Also, I bought that B'twin Mach 700 from Decathlon last Tuesday.
It's easily the most fun I've ever had on a bike and I used to ride trials!
It's just so sharp, responsive and fast! Made me realize how entirely far too big my last bike was for me, I have a lot more control and getting the power down is a lot easier.
Haven't even had a chance to take pictures of it because every time I look at it I just want to get on it and go!
�1,100 - �100 up front and �1000 on the cycle to work scheme
/spouts more happy new bike vibes into the thread
Edited by urban at 14:13:26 15-05-2014
I got some Sidi shoes (they were already discontinued so no real point in linking, I think they were called 5 something) in the Jan sales last year. Even on sale they were �100, but my god they're so comfortable and are showing absolutely no wear except on the heel rubbers and they're replaceable. Got myself a set of cleat covers as well so that's no concern except when you try to clip in and can't understand why it doesn't work, then it's embarrassing.
That B'Twin looks fucking great. I bought a Triban 3 expecting not much, but it's brilliant too. �300 for a carbon fork and reasonably good Shimano gearing / brakes!
Road shoes tend to be stiffer than MTB, and there are grades within there. So, I have two pairs of Specialized road shoes. The winter/cheaper pair have a glass fibre sole that flexes a bit, the best ones have a carbon fibre sole that's almost totally rigid.
The stiffer they are, the better the power transfer, but also you need them to distribute pressure evenly on your foot, otherwise you'll get cramps/hot spots. Not nice.
Cycling shoes shouldn't be overly tight, your feet will tend to swell slightly of the course of a ride. The most important thing are a nice fit around the shoe, and a secure heel fit.
Best thing to do is try brands on, as the shapes vary a lot. Sidis and Shimano don't fit me well, but Specialized are great. Shame the company acts like a bunch of dicks from time to time :/
Doing my first sportive at the weekend 100mile 'Wooler Wheel' up in Northumberland. 700 am registration which means I'll have to be up at 445. Ouch!
Good luck - have you done a 100 miler before?
Sidi are pretty narrow, Specialized a bit wider, Giro are like boats.
It's worth trying different brands on but it's pretty tricky to find them stocked in shops. Your best bet is to buy through Evans online, then return to the shop if you don't like them.
There's several charts online that give a guide on how the different brands advertised sizes compare so it's worth googling for those to give an idea of what to expect.
Actually, if you want to try Sidi, I think Mosquito on Essex Road stock them.
Wacko_AK wrote:Bit late to the party but definitely not DHB if you're a porker. I've got an XXL fluorescent top of theirs which isn't even close to fitting. It's even quite snug on my daypack that I've now got wearing it.
Have a look at the DHB range on Wiggle they tend to go up to larger sizes than most. Avoid anything Italian.
I'm 183, 82kg (32" waist) and I went with a Large size.

There's several charts online that give a guide on how the different brands advertised sizes compare so it's worth googling for those to give an idea of what to expect.
If you're London-based the Spitalfields Market Evans has loads of road shoes in stock, probably one of the widest selections you'll find.
Pretty close - 85 mile and 92 mile. Both of those were leisure days on sustrans routes though with mates. Really looking forward to testing myself out against other cyclists.
Yeah, the Sidi Mega are the ones for wide feet. Still not super wide like some other brands though.

God. Just been watching yesterday's Giro coverage. Massive crash. Will it ever stop raining?
Yeah i',m catching up with the last 15k's now. Ouch. Riders everywhere. Don't want to upset people with Rodriguez in their team, but he is out too. Katusha got hit pretty bad.
I know on the Eurosport coverage they were saying the pace had already gone up so it was fair play not to wait. But given how many people were caught up in the crash through no fault of their own I thought it was pretty poor to push on like Cadel and co. did.

Perhaps one of the worst things about committing a crime, or even being charged with one, is all the background stuff that tends to leak out about you. Your tastes in porn, booze, interior decoration…all of those things come out at trial.
You may beat the rap, but you can't beat the embarrassment of everyone knowing that you scammed money to pay for cheap vodka or lap dances from low-end strippers or Michael Jackson memorablia.
Or, in today's example…
The city of Bell paid $10,000 for former councilman George Cole to go to a weight-loss camp and also paid for Mayor Oscar Hernandez to get hair plugs, prosecutors said Thursday.
Here's a photo of former Mayor Hernandez from earlier this year, if you want to judge the value Bell got for their money. Former Mayor Hernandez, by the way, was making "just under" $100,000 a year for what was a part-time job. WebMD says that hair transplants run between $4,000 and $15,000. Or you could buy lasers for $549.
And as for George Cole…
Cole's top annual salary was $67,000, his attorney said. At the time, he was earning nearly $95,000 a year as chief executive of the Steelworkers Old Timers Foundation.
In 2004, the city paid the state pension system $36,648 to buy Cole an additional five years of service time. Cole was one of 11 Bell administrators for whom the city bought service time.
The Biggest Loser Resort in Malibu charges about $3,000 a week (though the longer you stay, the more of a break you get on the weekly rate).
Surely you would think that these folks could afford to pay for their own weight loss and baldness treatments. But they didn't, and now everyone knows.
(And to be clear, I don't throw stones at people who get hair plugs or go to weight loss resorts. I throw stones at people who scam money from the taxpayers to do those things. "Tax-fattened hyena", indeed.)

Taken from primary sources, including, diaries, pension records, historical collections, official records, journals,newspapers and books, presented in chronological order. The Complete Human Interest Stories of the Gettysburg Campaign will resonate with all those who have an interest in those fascinating stories, some humorous, some tragic, as seen through the eyes of the soldiers and civilians.
A great gift for those interested in the Battle of Gettysburg..........160 pages
The long awaited release of "Elizabeth Thorn of Gettysburg" will be available on December 20th. According to the history books, the story of the Battle of Gettysburg ended when the armies departed on July 4,1863. But for the citizens of Gettysburg, their story was just beginning. Many survived three days (July 1-3, 1863) of battle that raged around and through their farms and homes and were left alone to pick up the pieces. To a casual observer, Elizabeth Thorn was no different than all of the other civilians doing their part to restore their town from the devastation of war. However, upon further investigation, she was very different. No other woman in town was a six-month pregnant mother, who simultaneously managed both a household and a cemetery, and acted as sole caretaker to two aging parents. No other woman was asked to dig nearly a hundred soldiers'
graves. Elizabeth performed all of these strenuous tasks in the heat and the stench of a battlefield of bodies left to rot in the hot summer sun. This is her story and the story of the Evergreen Cemetery, a small-town burial ground that acquired national fame.

Our stay at Fairview village was excellent. Eva and Stan are really warm and friendly people. They gave us tips on getting around the city, find parking and accommodating our requests, which was quite helpful. The room, albeit small (mostly coz of our big bags, I suppose) was comfortable and well equipped with appliances - Fridge, microwave, kettle, iron, toaster, etc (which we later realised was a big deal in Canada). The breakfast was ample and satisfactory. The location is pretty handy too. We would highly recommend this accommodation and would definitely stay there again, when we are visiting Vancouver.

I stayed with Stan and Ewa in May/June while I was attending a writing workshop in Vancouver. Because my flight was supposed to land at 11:30 pm they knew I would be arriving some time after midnight. My flight was half an hour late and so I arrived closer to 1:00 am. Nevertheless, Stan was awake and greeted me warmly. The room was clean and comfortable and reminded me of the bedroom I had when I was a kid, except this one had its own bathroom and a well-stocked kitchenette. Ewa always made sure to stock a fresh bottle of water every day and always asked if I needed more food. About a twenty minute walk to some good restaurants around the Broadway/Cambie area, as well as buses and two subway stations. If you like to walk, like me, you can go by foot over the Cambie Bridge into downtown Vancouver. About 20 minutes. If I ever find myself going to Vancouver again I will definitely be staying with Stan and Ewa. They are the traveller's best friends.

This place is right in the heart of Vancouver downtown. Eva and Stan were very helpful and very nice. Their dog Cooba was very playful. We enjoyed our stay here and will sure go back if we get a chance. Breakfast they provide is very healthy, place is clean and is right in the downtown. Its worth the money.

Very comfortable lodging, well-stocked with breakfast supplies and other amenities such as fan and iron, immaculate condition, personable hosts, quiet area. Finding an overnight parking space can be a challenge. Highly recommended.

text: Politics 25 January 2012 PMQs sketch: Smug Dave escapes to Strasbourg Cameron struggles to maintain his tired economic defence. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML David Cameron has been called many things since he became Prime Minister, some of them true, some of them anatomically impossible, but today his many qualities were summed up in just one word -- 'smug'. It may have taken Ed Miliband 18 months to think it up but checking on some of the synonyms for it -- big-headed, complacent, egoistical, overweening, pompous, prideful, self-satisfied and swell-headed -- let the reader decide if the cap fits. It certainly appeared to be an undaunted Dave who appeared in front of the Commons at Prime Ministers Questions with the confidence of a man untouched by presiding over Britain's first foray beyond the £1 trillion mark (how easy that trips off the tongue) in the national debt. Or indeed had only just heard that the economy had shrunk by 0.2% in the last quarter and could be on its way back into recession. But the mask seemed to slip a bit when the Labour leader, with uncharacteristic brevity, asked him what had gone wrong with his economic plan. Flanked by a much more doleful looking Chancellor George, and the increasingly embarrassed Lib-Dem leader/Deputy Prime Minister Nick, Dave trotted out his usual defence that what was not the fault of Labour was the fault of Europe. But with more than a year and a half of Prime Ministerial salary in the bank, that defence failed even to get his own side going, apart from the usual handful on day-release. Dave suddenly seemed off his game as Ed struck home with his charge of self-satisfied smug complacency and even George squirmed as the suddenly refreshed Labour leader stuck in the word 'arrogance' for extra measure. The rictus grin slipped even further when Ed popped up for his second bite and mentioned Dave's present biggest nightmare, reforming the NHS. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, now known in Tory circles as dead man walking, was not in obvious sight as Ed pointed out that everyone apart from the PM wanted the reforms abandoned. Even as Dave struggled to find the prepared rebuttal in his exercise book, the relative silence from his own side confirmed that Mr Lansley should continue checking under his car every morning (it is at times like these that you can see the Deputy PM hoping that some passing space ship, spotting a like soul, might just beam him up out if it). It is often said that Prime Ministers facing trouble at home take themselves abroad where they are treated with the deference they deserve and that probably explained Dave's colour returning from an alarming puce to its traditional golden brown as PMQs drew to a close. As George demonstrated yesterday, Europe might be a no-go area for Tories politically but it is still usefully close to escape to when times are tough. Thus, by this afternoon Dave will be in Strasbourg where he intends to while away an hour being nasty to the European Court of Human Rights. This is not expected to produce any significant changes in policy but always goes down well with the Sun and the Mail and the Telegraph for whom the civilized world still stops at a pub on the cliffs overlooking Dover harbour. The Prime Minister will then be popping on to Davos in Switzerland where every year the real masters of the universe gather for the World Economic Forum and invite prime ministers to explain to them the plans for their countries they have yet to tell their citizens. It is said that one of the themes for this year's meeting is income disparity which should be relevant since at least 70 billionnaires will be present. Dave is going to Davos with Chancellor George and as mere millionaires themselves income disparity will be on their minds and they clearly have much to learn. They will be hosting a Great British Tea party for the rich and powerful but without star guest Mick Jagger, who arrived and just as quickly left Switzerland, having been told his appearance was a coup for the Tory Party. Sir Mick said he felt "exploited" by the Government, a sentiment that may be shared by the many millions having their Great British Tea at home tomorrow night. › Flattery gets you everywhere Peter McHugh is the former Director of Programmes at GMTV and Chief Executive Officer of Quiddity Productions Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles Jeremy Corbyn's opponents are going down a blind alley on tuition fees My son is shivering – precisely the response you want from a boy newly excited by drama Changing the Gender Recognition Act won't solve discrimination Subscription offer 12 issues for £12 + FREE book LEARN MORE Close This week's magazine

Do You Have Window Boxes on All Floors?
Homeowners (and renters as well) tend to only install window boxes on the first floor of their houses. But I love the way the boxes of geraniums on this four-story white building look. On second thought, they're almost too healthy looking; they may be fake, and perhaps it wouldn't work on a more traditional house. Tell me, do you have window boxes on all floors?

It was fun while it lasted. It just didn't last that long. And the end comes with great excitement for what lies ahead and a twinge of sadness for what is left behind.
First, the news: I have accepted a job to become the Redskins insider for ESPN.com and will start Aug. 5. My responsibilities will be the same as they were with the Washington Examiner and were going to be with The Post this season: provide analysis and insight into the Redskins. Yes, that means observations and game reviews and more, but no newsletter. It's an exciting move.
The tough part is leaving behind a fantastic group at The Post. But ESPN made an offer that The Post couldn't match. I might add, if there were two places I'd love to cover the Redskins these would be the top two places on my list – last year, this year, next year and forever. Both presented opportunities that played to my strengths. Both would qualify as dream positions.
It might have only been a month at The Post, but I'd dealt with the editors for a couple months longer and you can get a real sense of a place in that time. Plus I've known the beat writers, Mike Jones and Mark Maske and Redskins columnist Jason Reid, for years and was happy to be part of their group. Just know that this move is not reflective on fears of the newspaper industry or any reflection on The Post. They dealt with me with great honesty and professionalism and I saw first hand why it remains a formidable newspaper. I think we all wish it could have lasted longer; I think we all understand this was a move I couldn't pass up.
My last day with The Post will be July 31. I'll always be grateful for the opportunity they provided.
From the Editor:
If there's a consolation to this news, it might be that this is a greater loss to The Post than it is to Redskins fans. You'll still get to read him at ESPN.
While there are no hard feelings, I am disappointed that we spent more time on The Insider building up to John's arrival than we did actually publishing his work. His role was something uniquely carved out for his skill set, and it stinks that we didn't get to do it for at least a season. There's a difference between telling readers that Robert Griffin III took a lot of hits last year and telling you he took exactly 152 — 49 on keepers, 18 on scrambles and 85 in the pocket. That's what we'll miss most.
Very few folks who cover football are able to attend every game as working press, afforded the time to meticulously review the game video, and then have the access to players and coaches to ask about what they saw. We're happy for John and the opportunity he has, but we're disappointed that Redskins fans aren't going to have him in this role. He and I and others thought we had an opportunity to do something groundbreaking, and give The Post's coverage a new level of depth.
As for The Post and The Insider, we're not feeling sorry for ourselves. We'll still throw more resources at the beat than anybody, and if the first few days of camp are any indication — 33 blog posts, a handful of news stories, features and columns, many linked below — our coverage is in good hands with Mike, Mark and the rest of the crew. Our coverage will still be very strong, but it won't be what we thought it was going to be with John on board.

For those who are not familiar with Forbidden Broadway ... the show is a revue of musical skits lampooning Broadway performers, shows, and their creators. The singers are dressed and made up as the subjects they are toasting, and nearly all of the songs are comprised of parody lyrics sung to the tune of a real song. For example, "Glossy Fosse" is a parody of Chicago's "Razzle Dazzle," using the same melody ("Glossy Fosse 'em and they'll make you a star"). In the current production at the Cabaret Theatre, we see twists on favorites, such as a cigarette-smoking Annie ("I'm thirty years old - tomorrow"), the venerable Carol Channing, Les Misérables and The Lion King medleys, a duet with the Phantom of the Opera and Ethel Merman, Broadway's newest superstar Hugh Jackman, the witches of Wicked and more.
On Cletus Anderson's most appropriate proscenium set, with shimmering curtain and classic Forbidden Broadway neon logo, Christiana Craig-Dukes, Joe Domencic, Christine Laitta and Marcus Stevens show versatility and high energy as they present a couple dozen songs, accompanied by the very talented Musical Director Deana Muro on piano. Every bit gets a laugh, but some are easier to appreciate than others. A Sweet Charity spoof on Christina Applegate's recent Broadway appearance, which received notice for her lack of professional stage experience and a foot injury, was probably better appreciated in New York before the show closed, and the skit about the dismal short-lived failure, Lennon, is funny because Craig-Dukes does a very funny Yoko Ono impression, but I don't know that it's clear why Ono is even present in a show about Broadway. For the most part, however, Forbidden Broadway is written and presented in a way that can easily be appreciated by anyone with a passing knowledge of Broadway shows and performers.
Key to the success, in addition to Alessandrini's spot-on writing, is admirable work by Director William Selby, who has guided this young cast to deliver the humor without going over-the-top. Mind you, this is humor of the broadest sort, but the costumes (brilliantly designed by Alvin Colt), make-up, and material nearly land the laughs themselves - the performers need to carry, not push, these components to the punch line.
In an interview with Talkin' Broadway, Gerard Alessandrini said performers cast in Forbidden Broadway shows should be "funny, and they have to have great voices. They have to have a wide range of vocal ability ... they don't have to be mimics." Casting for this show follows those lines, and allows for excellent assignments of the roles. Pretty blonde Christiana Craig-Dukes, with a killer vibrato, does Carol Channing and Kristin Chenoweth, among others, with great success. She is a great comedienne, as is Christine Laitta, whose delivery is less restrained and appropriate for Ethel Merman. Marcus Stevens does great character work with treatments of Harvey Fierstein and an elderly Don Quixote, while Joe Domencic gets the hilarious send-up of producer Cameron Mackintosh and the souvenir phenomenon and hip-shaking Hugh Jackman. The group effort on the Les Misérables medley is particularly rewarding.
Forbidden Broadway is currently an extended run at the CLO Cabaret at Theater Square. The show is produced by Pittsburgh CLO and sponsored by the Charity Randall Foundation. Performances are Thursday through Sunday with student, group and senior pricing available. For more information, call 412-456-6666 or visit www.CLOCabaret.com.

How to Endure the Great Rye Shortage of 2-Aught-12
Rye is hot right now, there's no doubt about it. With an extra dash of spice and fruitiness when compared to its bourbon cousins, rye has become a favorite bullet in the pro mixologists bandolier. So much so, that we drinkers have pretty much run through most of the nation's supply of rye whiskey that has been laying in repose in oak for the past decade. This is a problem…
I was once at a trade tasting hosted by Jimmy Russell, the long-time master distiller at Wild Turkey. A stereotypically moustachioed hipster-type bartender asked him, "Hey Jimmy. How come we can't get enough rye anymore? My customers are starting to love the stuff. Why can't y'all keep up with demand?"
Russell didn't hesitate before he spat out an answer, "Because you didn't tell me you wanted it seven years ago when we were making the stuff!" It's the truth.
Because distilleries have to make marketing decisions years in advance when they choose which blends to make and which grains to purchase, they have to anticipate trends to figure out what beautiful brown liquids to put into oak for aging. A decade ago, rye whiskey was a drink for old men and cowboys, not a fave of the burgeoning cocktail craze. So producers concentrated their efforts on bourbons. (And we still thank them for that.) Now, Rye shipments have grown by more than 20% annually over the past several years.
"We didn't see this coming," says Jim Beam master distiller Fred Noe. "It's going to take us a couple of years to catch up."
"Nobody saw the Rye spike coming," agrees Russell. "We're completely out for the next two years."
One option would be to try to release rye that hasn't been aging as long, normally at least four years, to get some more in the pipeline. But this would only accelerate the problem and push the shortage off for a short time. Plus it would leave us with worse spirits to drink. Bad answer. Although, most producers have upped their production, it's probably best that they allow the rye to age for an appropriate amount of time to give it the character we discerning drinkers deserve. Crappy young rye is rotgut.
Fortunately, at least a few distillers had the foresight and the volume to stay ahead of the curve and still have ample supplies available if you are just now deciding to start coming through the rye. And even luckier, they're some damned fine ryes.
Fred Noe may be behind on production, but he ain't out yet. Jim Beam Rye is one of the prototype versions of the genre. Look for the distinctive yellow label and you'll be rewarded with a peppery spicy straight rye whiskey that makes the perfect Perfect Manhattan. BTW, a Perfect Manhattan is made with both sweet and dry vermouth and is the best way to experience rye in a cocktail. Ask for it by name, and if you're bartender knows what you're talking about, you know you're drinking in the right place. Plus he'll think you're a smarter drinker than you probably are.
Locally, Prichard's also makes a very nice 86 proof Rye Whiskey down in Kelso, TN. Fruitier than Beam, Prichard's Rye is perfectly acceptable to drink straight up or with just a rock and a splash. You'll taste apples and cinnamon and the deep vanilla of the oak, while at the same time enjoying the warm characteristic burn of rye whiskey as it trickles past your uvula. trust me. This is a good thing.
One more option to look forward to is the anticipated introduction of a rye from Lincoln Henderson and the folks at Angel's Envy. Under Lincoln's watchful eye, you can expect a spectacular example of rye whiskey to come out of their plant, and it will be worth the wait. I may go camp out on the front steps of my favorite liquor store to get the first taste.
So don't be scared of the paucity of rye whiskey. Find one you like and stock up!

Beginning Jan. 1, 2007, children in the Netherlands will be assigned a unique Citizens Service Number that allows the Dutch government to track them "from cradle to grave in a single database, opening a personal electronic dossier for every child at birth with health and family data, and eventually adding school and police records." (Associated Press, 9-15-2005)
In 2006, a proposal was made to require England's 12 million children under 18 years to register with the government's Information Sharing (IS) Index. The IS Index will include identity data and "details of school performance, diet and even whether their parents provide a 'positive role model'." "Police, social workers, teachers and doctors will have access to the database and have powers to flag up 'concerns' where children are not meeting criteria laid down by the state," reported the Daily Mail. (6-26-2006)
A "unique student identifier" assigned to Canada's higher education students works with the Enhanced Student Information System and is "designed to help link incoming student records with records already on the national database," according to Statistics Canada. Data is accessible to international groups like UNESCO and the OECD.
A "national population database" is planned for Australia. According to a May 25, 2005 Australian Privacy Foundation alert, the Australian Bureau of Statistics proposed census changes using the "name and address data, and other indicators of identity, to link together records on every individual in Australia. . . . The idea is, to use the language of the ABS, to convert the Census from an anonymous 'snapshot' of Australians' lives once every five years, to a permanent 'movie' of every aspect of our lives, on an identifiable and on-going basis."
Since China's 2003 launching of the "Gold Shield Program," the government has collected details on more than 96% of its population that's 1.25 billion of China's 1.3 billion citizens whose information is stored in a police database.
In 2002, a data system was set up in Japan and each citizen was assigned an "11-digit number in the new basic resident registry network which contains names, birth dates, gender and address and enables local authorities to identify people online across the country." (AFP, 8-24-2003)
The idea to use a nationwide ID card in the United Kingdom "for a comprehensive data-sharing scheme between government agencies and the private sector" won the government a "Lifetime Menace" award from Privacy International. (BBC News, 3-4-2002)
In Britain, an adult population register with basic personal information is being developed under the auspices of the Citizen Information Project. The register will contain the "name, address, date of birth and a unique ID reference number." (ZDNet News, 4-26-2006).

Please bear with me while I gather some further information from you in order for me to be able to advise you fully.
Unless I have all the facts that I need, my answer would not be accurate.
Have you signed the new contract yet?
When did you say yes?
When does existing term end?
We were asked via email if we wanted to renew the contract at the end of May with a slight increase in rent. We acknowledged via email on 22/05 that we would be willing to renew. The twelve month term ends on 31st July.
Yes, every year.
In which case until you sign a new agreement there is no new tenancy.
I would email immediately and say exactly what has happened, how much you regret leaving, how happy you have been etc (lay it on thick) and that you will not be renewing after all and will vacate on X date.
If the Landlord thinks differently she/he, will have to take you to court. If I was advising the LL I would say forget it.

I was born of immigrant parents, and heard my first stories from my Slovak mother, and also my father's mother from Hungary. And though I tell tales from around the world, I am a traditional teller both in my style of telling, and in my choice of traditional folktales, myths, and legends for my repertory. I am not an actor, nor a writer, but a traditional Storyteller shaped by my Central European cultural heritage and my Catholic religious tradition.
And, I am deeply grateful to my two mentors: Wayne Rood of the Pacific School of Religion, and Jorge Rosner of the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. It is a wonder and mystery to me, a Catholic, how a Seventh Day Baptist and a Secular Jew became my primary teachers. God works in mysterious ways.
I have been telling stories professionally for many years, and have been honored as a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival. Over the years, I have narrated stories in many settings -- to as many as 5000 people in American convention halls. I have also spun tales with a few snow-bound Canadian Ojibway over a shared hunter's stew. I have woven stories for the storytelling Irish in their own land -- by the sight and sweet smell of an Irish cottage turf fire. And, most importantly, I have shared favorite stories with my nieces and nephews here at home.
I received my doctorate (Th.D.) in the performing arts from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. My M.A. was in religious education from the Catholic University of America. My dissertation was on the craft & philosophy of storytelling. I held appointments at various colleges & universities, including the College of St. Catherine, Niagara University, and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. I was the founder and director of the School of Sacred Storytelling from 1994 to 2011.
While deeply influenced by Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, I recognize the important contribution of Gestalt psychology and therapy to my work in storytelling.
I am a religious artist, folklorist, and travel guide. My spirituality, rooted in his Catholic heritage, is broadly ecumenical, anchored in the classical humanism of the Judeo-Christian tradition, and atuned to other sacred storytelling traditions.

[quote:ShadowDancer:MV81NzU1NTVfMTQyOTY5MjBfMjk3ODQzRTg=] :bump: seems I am not hearing much...so I assume they are quite busy... Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg is worried. It's not that he thinks the LHC will create a black hole that will engulf the planet, or even that the restart will end in a technical debacle like last year's. No: he's actually worried that the LHC will find what some call the "God particle", the popular and embarrassingly grandiose moniker for the hitherto undetected Higgs boson. "I'm terrified," he says. "Discovering just the Higgs would really be a crisis." Why so? Evidence for the Higgs would be the capstone of an edifice that particle physicists have been building for half a century - the phenomenally successful theory known simply as the standard model. It describes all known particles, as well as three of the four forces that act on them: electromagnetism and the weak and strong nuclear forces. It is also manifestly incomplete. We know from what the theory doesn't explain that it must be just part of something much bigger. So if the LHC finds the Higgs and nothing but the Higgs, the standard model will be sewn up. But then particle physics will be at a dead end, with no clues where to turn next. Hence Weinberg's fears. However, if the theorists are right, before it ever finds the Higgs, the LHC will see the first outline of something far bigger: the grand, overarching theory known as supersymmetry. SUSY, as it is endearingly called, is a daring theory that doubles the number of particles needed to explain the world. And it could be just what particle physicists need to set them on the path to fresh enlightenment. So what's so wrong with the standard model? First off, there are some obvious sins of omission. It has nothing whatsoever to say about the fourth fundamental force of nature, gravity, and it is also silent on the nature of dark matter. Dark matter is no trivial matter: if our interpretation of certain astronomical observations is correct, the stuff outweighs conventional matter in the cosmos by more than 4 to 1. Ironically enough, though, the real trouble begins with the Higgs. The Higgs came about to solve a truly massive problem: the fact that the basic building blocks of ordinary matter (things such as electrons and quarks, collectively known as fermions) and the particles that carry forces (collectively called bosons) all have a property we call mass. Theories could see no rhyme or reason in particles' masses and could not predict them; they had to be measured in experiments and added into the theory by hand. 3 into 1....HMMMMMM The hierarchy problem is not the only defect in the standard model. There is also the problem of how to reunite all the forces. In today's universe, the three forces dealt with by the standard model have very different strengths and ranges. At a subatomic level, the strong force is the strongest, the weak the weakest and the electromagnetic force somewhere in between. Towards the end of the 1960s, though, Weinberg, then at Harvard University, showed with Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow that this hadn't always been the case. At the kind of high energies prevalent in the early universe, the weak and electromagnetic forces have one and the same strength; in fact they unify into one force. The expectation was that if you extrapolated back far enough towards the big bang, the strong force would also succumb, and be unified with the electromagnetic and weak force in one single super-force. Blood brothers? String theory and supersymmetry are two as-yet unproved theories about the make-up of the universe. But they are not necessarily related. It is true that most popular variants of string theory take a supersymmetric universe as their starting point. String theorists, who have taken considerable flak for advocating a theory that has consistently struggled to make testable predictions, will breathe a huge sigh of relief if supersymmetry is found. That might be premature: the universe could still be supersymmetric without string theory being correct. Conversely, at the kind of energies probed by the LHC, it is not clear that supersymmetry is a precondition for string theory. "It is easier to understand string theory if there is supersymmetry at the LHC," says Edward Witten, a theorist at Princeton University, "but it is not clear that it is a logical requirement." If supersymmetry does smooth the way for string theory, however, that could be a decisive step towards a theory that solves the greatest unsolved problem of physics: why gravity seems so different to all the rest of the forces in nature. If so, supersymmetry really could have all the answers. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20427341.200-in-susy-we-trust-what-the-lhc-is-really-looking-for.html?page=3 http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/9320/56/ A top scientist at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) says that the titanic machine may possibly create or discover previously unimagined scientific phenomena, or "unknown unknowns" - for instance "an extra dimension". "Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it," said Sergio Bertolucci, who is Director for Research and Scientific Computing at CERN, briefing reporters including the Reg at CERN HQ earlier this week. The LHC, built inside a 27-km circular subterranean tunnel deep beneath the Franco-Swiss border outside Geneva, functions like a sort of orbital motorway for extremely high-speed hadrons - typically either protons or lead ions. The differences are, firstly, that the streams of particles are moving at velocities within a whisker of light speed - such that each stream has as much energy in it as a normal car going at 1000mph. Secondly, the beams are arranged in such fashion that the two streams swerve through one another occasionally, which naturally results in huge numbers of incredibly violent head-on collisions. These collisions are sufficiently violent that they are expected to briefly create conditions similar to those obtaining countless aeons ago, not long after the Big Bang, when the entire universe was still inconceivably small - it was smaller than a proton for quite some time, seemingly, still with all the stuff that nowadays makes up all the supra-enormity of space and galaxies and so forth packed in somehow. dimensional portals now they decide to let the curious in a bit-dimensional portals/vortices/torus/all kinds of unknowns could "walk through" as I have said-seems it is not so far-fetched after all. :bump: [/quote]

soon they will try and reproduce the big bang and hopefully this singularity(big bang) they are searching for will not start a domino effect,leading to a massive meltdown like the movie The Entity...frozen dimensional entities...breaking the ice
Sounds like the party is about to start...
key Frankenstein music...
for gadzillions of voltage and more heat generated...into a burning iceage?
from the recent news

The Large Hadron Collider is entering the final stages of being lowered to a temperature of 1.9 Kelvin (-271C; -456F) - colder than deep space.
The LHC has thousands of magnets which will be maintained in this frigid condition using liquid helium.
The magnets are arranged in a ring that runs for 27km through the giant tunnel.
Once the LHC is operational, two particle beams - usually consisting of protons accelerated to high energies - will be fired down pipes running through the magnets.
These beams will then travel in opposite directions around the main ring at close to the speed of light.
At allotted points along the tunnel, the beams will cross paths, smashing into one another with cataclysmic force. Scientists hope to see new particles in the debris of these collisions, revealing fundamental new insights into the nature of the cosmos and how it came into being.
The most powerful physics experiment ever built, the LHC will re-create the conditions just after the Big Bang.
Currently, six out of the LHC's eight sectors are between 4.5 and 1.9 Kelvin, though all sectors of the machine have been down to 1.9 Kelvin at some stage over the last few months.
By comparison, the temperature in remote regions of outer space is about 2.7 Kelvin (-270C; -454F).
Roberto Saban, the LHC's head of hardware commissioning, said that in order to obtain high magnetic fields without consuming too much power, the magnets were required to be "superconducting".
This is the property, exhibited by some materials at very low temperatures, to channel electrical current with zero resistance and very little power loss.
Helium exhibits spectacular properties at 2.2 Kelvin - becoming "superfluid". This allows it to conduct heat very rapidly, making it an extremely efficient refrigerant.
No particle physics facility on this scale has ever operated at such low temperatures. But, so far, the hardware was performing as predicted, Roberto Saban explained.
"We have a very systematic process for the commissioning of this machine, based on very carefully designed procedures prepared with experience we have gathered on prototypes."
He added: "Our motto is: no short cuts? exchanging a single component which today is cold, is like bringing it back from the Moon. It takes about three to four weeks to warm it up. Then it takes one or two weeks to exchange. Then it needs three to six weeks to cool down again.
"So, you see, it is three months if we make a mistake."
Two sectors of the LHC are currently not cold enough for testing to proceed. Electronics that control the cryogenic systems in these sectors are being moved to an area where they will be better shielded against particles that shoot out of the machine during collisions.
Closing the circle
One sector of the ring is being run as if the LHC was operational and carrying a beam. This is so that crews can de-bug software and hardware and gain experience of running operating cycles.
The LHC's magnets must also undergo electrical testing. Each sector of the machine contains about 200 electrical circuits. Each circuit may consist of as many as 154 magnets or as few as one.
They are being tested for their ability to handle very high currents - up to 12,000 Amps .
"We power each circuit, making sure it goes to its design current. But above all, we are verifying that all the protection systems around it - which are there to detect an eventual quench - are operating as expected," said Roberto Saban.
A quench occurs when some part of the magnet starts to heat up, becoming resistant to electrical current. Engineers have built in a recovery system to detect these quenches before they affect the magnetic field bending particles around the ring and shut off the circulating beams.
The machine's cool-down should take another two weeks to complete, provided no serious problems are found. Electrical testing of the magnets may take another couple of weeks.
Before the LHC is "switched on" for the first time, the proton beams have to be boosted to high energies in a chain of particle accelerators called the injectors.
Once the machine is cold, operators will inject beams into the main ring, threading them through each independent sector of the LHC until they close the circle.
A timing, or synchronisation, system is used to ensure each of these sectors behaves as if they were a single machine.
When the LHC is switched on it will operate at an energy of five trillion electron-volts. It will then be shut down for the winter, so that the magnets can be "trained" to handle a beam run at seven trillion electron-volts.

Aghaboe House was finished about 1730. It was the home to the famous Irish Antiquarian Edward Ledwich circa 1790. Ledwich was the author of 'Antiquities of Ireland' a two volume set with spectacular woodcuts published in 1795. A pristine copy may be inspected by prior arrangement.
The views of adjoining Aghaboe Abbey are enhanced at night with floodlights. The views of the nearby Slieve Bloom Mountains, winter home of Finn MacCool and the Fiana or Irish warrior class, are spectacular from the back patio and most of the bedrooms and common rooms.
The newly completed motorway system in Ireland makes the central location of Aghaboe House an ideal base for touring. Nearby golf and historic attractions are plentiful.
If you are looking for a real Irish 'Country Estate' experience this is it.
Large American pellet stoves keep the house warm and aired. The large oil fired AGA stove in the kitchen is an added experience.
There is a separate large sitting room and a separate large dining room as well as an eat-in kitchen.
Aghaboe House is both unique and unforgettable.
Keywords: Irish Period House, Georgian Manor House, Irish Country House, Irish Heritage House
My daughter was born here in 1986 and after completing her medical training in the States may return and run her clinic here.
I stumbled upon the historic property while researching my roots. It turns out that both my great-great grandparents on my Fitzpatrick side were born and raised in Aghaboe before emigrating in the time of the 'Great Hunger'.
I guess that this type of venture could be called a 'labor of love' and never really ends.
I hope that you will find it as enjoyable to be far from the hustle and bustle but near enough to everything you need.
There is a concierge/handyman living in a nearby building on the Estate to assist you.
Mike Fitzpatrick purchased this estate in 1984
Unique Country House built almost three hundred years ago with care.
I maintain a large wine cellar to which the concierge has access. The prices for the French and Spanish wines will be based upon continental prices that I paid not Irish prices. My personal preference is for Rioja Crianzas and Reservas so they will be in greatest supply.
I also have a decent library which you could peruse and enjoy.
My family and I met for a mid tour break in August of 2013 and decided to stay at this location. What an amazing place. Full of old world charm and excitement. Beautiful (and warm) pot stove pellet stoves in the guest rooms and an amazing aga stove in the kitchen. The Abbey is within walking distance and full of history. The cows and sheep add to its amazing character. Centrally located and easy to get around the country from. Highly recommend this property.
The house and grounds were amazing. The caretaker was very friendly and helpful. The house was a perfect location for driving to the major cities and sites. Our family had a great time there. Quiet peaceful area, was great to return home to after a day of sightseeing. I would highly recommend the house, especially to large families, plenty of space for everyone.
For sure this is a beautiful old house and the surrounding pastures and old abbey are gorgeous. The Aga stove in the kitchen is a beautiful thing and fun to cook on. Everything works though there are quirky things to be sure like the sink, dishwasher and stove sort of being in separate rooms but it's charming and workable. I do have to say that depending on how interior design oriented you are, you may find yourself distracted by elements of the decor. What really did me in were extra unmade (old) beds in more rooms than not including in the dining room and foyer! I have two quirky old houses and am truly not that picky but old mattresses and boxsprings are NOT appealing! On the other hand, if you are a party of 15, they will be made up for you (and therefore covered) and you will be happy for them. This did not bother my husband or son nor it seems, the other reviewers, so maybe it won't bother you! The caretaker is super helpful and friendly.
Photos do not do this beautiful manor house justice. The approach to Aghaboe Abbey with our vacation home behind it was breathtaking, not to mention the driveway up to the estate. A gorgeous green patchwork of color from every window-of which there are many-never got old. Ten of us in one house for ten days (six of us relatives) never got old. We shared many meals around the large wooden kitchen table and the Aga stove was both delightful to cook on and warmed the room pleasantly. A big favorite? Sleeping with the windows open and the pellet stove going. Many day trips and the on-site caretaker was not only helpful but very kind and entertaining. Even shared a home-cooked meal with us with a beautiful bottle of wine from the wine cellar. Best part of this trip was returning to this magical place every night with so many people I love!! Will do this again!!
This was a return visit to Ireland and I wanted to be in close proximity to my relation and centrally located for sightseeing. We couldn't have found a more beautiful place. We were greeted by the caretaker upon our arrival who was so hospitable and kind. He showed us the house and grounds and was always available for questions and directions. The house is grand, but very homey and the views are wonderful. It was very easy travel to east, west and southern coasts. I would highly recommend a stay at Aghaboe House. The owner was very adaptable to our stay, as we were there for 3 weeks. A wonderful and memorable time which I hope to repeat next year.
My first memory of my first trip to Ireland will always be that of Aghaboe. My partner and I arrived at Dublin airport, exhausted and harried, and drove straightaway to this manor house in the country. It's a good thing we did: The caretaker cheerfully made us tea and showed us through this welcoming old stone house.
The pleasures were many: luxuriating in a deep soaking tub, sipping lovely Spanish wines from their wine cellar, meandering through the nooks and crannies of the house, and exploring the impressive library. At night Orion shone brilliantly in the velvet sky and in the mornings a step outside revealed a forgotten era. Here you can still breathe sweet soft air and gaze across the ridiculously green grass with cattle grazing to an ancient crumbling abbey.
From here we visited the surrounding countryside and nearby Kilkenny, but returning to the huge old house and its lovely grounds was most restorative. Though we went on to find my own ancestral land and many more touristed sites, this place remains special--authentic and unforgettable.
Kilkenny is some 35 miles away by scenic roads.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
The craft-cocktail renaissance sweeping Orange County these days can be attributed to a small handful of people, one of whom is 320 Main's owner, Jason Schiffer. An old-school bartender with an eye for detail, he sets twists of citrus carefully on top of ice so the scent is there when the glass is tilted for a sip, without the twist disappearing into the drink. He spanks his herbs, placing them in his hand and clapping to release the essential oils. Schiffer is a tweaker of recipes, an inventor of drinks and a passionate customizer of alcohols. His Negroni's Loss is a sweeter, less-acrid take on the famous Italian drink; rather than gin and Campari being paired with sweet vermouth and a lemon twist, he uses Bols Genever for its funky maltiness and Gran Classico for a little extra fruitiness. (It's the little things.) Schiffer is also a mentor, hosting a group of professionals who research drinks and discuss the finer points of the craft, based on the noble idea that shared knowledge advances everyone's career, as well as helping to train bartenders. A passionate, skilled hand who wants to elevate Orange County's level of cocktail sophistication past the fruity freshman martinis? Yes, please!
So you're looking to pick up some fine young thing for a little action—nothing serious, just a good time. Head over to Sutra, the glitzy club at Triangle Square where you'll find a bevy of pretty party people to choose from. The scene is very image-conscious—there's more silicone at Sutra than a Mattel production plant—and if you're serious about getting laid, prepare to throw around some cash: Money speaks very loudly to this very loud crowd. You and your new friend may not spend the evening discussing Flaubert or Kierkegaard—but you'll probably wake up with a big, fat smile.
Where do people of a refined age, well-established career and certain means go to find love (or a hot hook-up)? Javier's in Newport Beach's Crystal Cove. The coastal restaurant is decadently decorated, appealing to those of finer tastes, and boasts a giant, jungle-esque cantina complete with a fire pit, indoor greenery, and very expensive-looking seating and tables. The food is irrelevant for this group—it's difficult for most people to look sexy while shoveling carne asada in their faces. But what this Javier's offers is ambiance and location: Newport Beach is the mother ship for both rich dudes and artfully augmented women. For the gentlemen, who tend to travel alone or in groups of no more than three, it offers a fine selection of tequilas, Scotch and beer. And for the ladies, who usually venture out in small packs, there is a wide menu of margaritas and champagne. Enjoy the hunt!
We've all done it: Before going out on a date, we've chanted that one request—"Please, God, don't let me run into anyone I know." The Riviera is dark—really dark—and the menu is way too fancy for any of your friends. In operation for more than 30 years, this classic restaurant and bar has all the romantic standards: steaks, seafood, champagne, escargot and frog legs. You stand a good chance of getting through this one unscathed—and unseen. If you're too ashamed to take your date to your favorite bar, at least treat them to fine food and drink. It'll cost you a pretty penny, but hey, this is your shallow insecurity, not theirs.
While we can't comment on friends who may or may not have made brief eye contact with a pretty college-aged lass before the two adjourned to the sidewalk outside Back Alley's large smoking patio for a brief romp, we can say the informal, booze-fueled environment of the venerable watering hole is conducive to bringing strangers together. With Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College close by, it's an attractive option for stressed-out matriculates looking to blow off a little steam. There's just something about that smoking patio on a hot night. The music from the jukebox is loud, and a large hole in the building's front wall grants access to the bar from outside. Suddenly, people who don't normally smoke are congregating under the stars and rubbing elbows (among other things) in a confined area. Those who lack game might be tempted to throw their hands up and grumble bitterly about Back Alley being just another Fullerton bar, but hey, most folks don't head there on a Friday night for stimulating conversation.
Neighborhood bar? Transplanted community is more like it! The place where Xalos Bar makes its home was once "The Shack"—ground zero of one too many neo-Nazi shows, as the Weekly exposed 10 years ago. The times, demographics and venue have changed, however, and "Un Poco de Jalisco en el Corazon de Anaheim" is now the prevailing banner for the establishment off the interchange for the 91 and 57 freeways. For all the young people with roots planted in the municipality of Jalostotitlán in the Mexican state of Jalisco and currently populating this northern OC city, Xalos Bar is a space to anchor their social lives. But enough sociological shit; let's talk puro pinche pari. Xalos' bar is fully stocked and offers drink and bottle specials, but it's not really designed for people to get liquored-up and lounge. The inebriation is aimed at loosening up patrons enough that they'll hit the dance floor, which tends to get more than crowded, so remember to put extra deodorant on, lest you become the cabrón with the cebolla-smelling armpits drenching your dress shirt. Live banda and norteño music, along with super-estrella club, pop and rock en español DJ mix nights keep the beat going. Muster up some courage and drop a line to any one of the "AnaHynas" sure to be there on any given night.
