Building Conservation in Surrey and London
RJM Heritage Limited - lime mortar specialists
RJM Heritage Limited offers the full range of building services for older properties in London and the South East. We use traditional materials and have the skills required to maintain and improve historic buildings. We use lime mortars extensively, in sympathy with the original construction, ensuring that any building we work on stays dry and healthy. If you are refurbishing, or planning to have an extension on an older building, then RJM have vast knowledge of the way to create the perfect addition to your property. We can match all architectural features from timber, stone, brick or render so that the extension or refurbishment maintains the character and charm of the original building. RJM specialise in re-creating the materials used at the particular time in history that the building was constructed. Knowing where to use new or traditional materials on an old building is a skill in its own right. RJM Heritage takes great pride in our knowledge in this regard, and the small part we play in the protection of English heritage.
Why use lime?
Lime mortar was the only material available to builders up to the turn of the 20th century. All bricks were laid with lime mortar, and all plasters and renders were made using lime. Buildings at this time were erected with no damp proof course, and no cavity, relying on the properties of lime and the porosity of the brick, stone or timber to keep the building dry and warm. The reason this happens is that lime has the unique capability to absorb moisture, and subsequently expel it to atmosphere.
The use of cement and gypsum based mortars and plasters has resulted in many buildings suffering from damp incursion, causing in many cases severe deterioration to the fabric of the building, owing to moisture being trapped in the walls.
Maintaining historic buildings in London and the South East
We are able to offer expert advice and craftsmanship, borne out by the many tributes paid to us by satisfied clients. We are intensely proud of our work, and this pride is reflected in the standard of work we produce on the buildings we work on.

Blogger's Corner: Father's Day Message: A Special Message Honoring Dads in the Military
Jun 17, 2012 Issues: Veterans
For Immediate Release: June 16, 2012

Email: email@example.com
Special Message from Congressman Gosar
"Father's Day Message: A Special Message Honoring Dads in the Military"
By Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-01)
492 Words
Although our nation has officially observed Father's Day for 46 years, the holiday has roots that go back more than a century. Sonora Smart Dodd first came up with the idea of a day honoring dads while listening to a mother's day sermon and contemplating all that her father had done for her.
William Jackson Smart was a civil war veteran who raised Sonora and her five siblings on a rural farm in eastern Washington State on his own after his wife died during childbirth. Sonora chose June for the first celebration of Father's Day in honor of William's June birthday.
In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. But it wasn't until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made this holiday permanent.
As we approach Father's Day this year, I have been touched by many stories of people who reside in my district and throughout Arizona whose fathers are currently overseas serving our nation.
Jedediah Noble is one such father from Ganado, AZ on the Navajo Nation whose story has touched my heart. Jedediah is a Marine currently serving in communications off the coast of Iran and Syria and will be away from his wife and 3-year-old daughter this father's day.
Tashina, Jedediah's wife, said that he is an amazing father and that it kills him to be away from his family, especially during holidays. But it has been Jedediah's lifelong goal to be a Marine and serve his country—so he is a father and a Marine, protecting his country and caring for his daughter all at the same time.
Just two days ago their daughter, Jewel, named after the star of Bethlehem in the Bible, celebrated her third birthday. Jedediah wasn't able to be there in person, but he is always with their family in spirit, said Tashina.
This father's day, they will honor Jed and celebrate a man who is many things to many people. A father, a Marine, and an American hero.
Being away from their families is one of many sacrifices the men and women of our armed forces make in order to keep us safe, and on days such as Father's Day, when we all honor our own family, it is so important that we remember the many fathers that are currently serving in the armed forces as well as those who have served in the past.
All fathers make sacrifices for their children, and being away from one's family fighting to ensure the safety of our country is certainly a sacrifice that deserves to be recognized on this day that we have dedicated to fathers.
This Sunday, not only will I honor my own father, but I will also honor Jedediah, and every other father who has served or is serving in our Armed Forces—I hope that you will join me.

Urate-Lowering Therapy in Chronic Gout Results in Clinically Important Improvements in Health-Related Quality of LifeSF-36 Is Responsive to Change in Chronic Gout.
Khanna2, Puja, Perez-Ruiz1, Fernando, Maranian2, Paul, Khanna2, Dinesh
SF-36 is a validated outcome measure to assess generic health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with gout. We assessed HRQOL in patients with gout in an academic outpatient rheumatology setting.
SF-36 was administered at baseline, then at yearly intervals. Patients who had a gout flare within the past 1 month were excluded. We assessed statistical significance and the minimal clinically important differences (MCID) at the first and second year. Statistical significance was evaluated using paired t-test for changed scores of the SF-36 scales. MCID for SF-36 scales and summary scores was defined as improvement of >=5 points and >=2.5 points at 12 months, respectively. We assessed responsiveness to change (effect size) and interpreted it based on Cohen's criteria: 0.200.49 as small, 0.500.79 as moderate, and >=0.80 as large, and the predictors for improvement in the SF-36 scales and summary scores. We assessed improvement (defined as >=MCID) in 8 SF-36 scales and 2 summary scales. Independent variables included age, tophi (presence/absence), comorbidities (presence/absence), baseline joint involvement, baseline serum urate levels, change in serum urate level and number of flares from baseline to 12 months.
Of 99 subjects, 96 were male, mean age was 57.1 years, disease dur was 8.2 years, 47% had associated comorbidities, 40% had tophi, and 64% had evidence of radiographic damage. Data was available for 77 patients at 1 year and 36 patients at 2 years. Patients were treated with urate lowering therapy (ULT) including allopurinol (N=64), benzbromarone (N=4), or combination therapy (N=1); only 7 patients were on oral colchicine. Baseline mean (SD) serum urate level was 8.9 (1.36) mg/dl and mean numbers of flares were 4.7 (4.5) over the last year. Patients with presence of tophi, polyarticular disease, and radiographic damage had lower SF-36 scores compared to patients without it. Urate-lowering therapies were associated with reduction in serum uric acid to 5.46 (1.1), (-3.44 (1.73); p< 0.001) and number of flares (-4.00 (4.32); p<0.001) over 12 months; and associated with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the SF-36 scales and summary scores at 12 months (Table). Reduction in flares independently predicted improvements in SF-36 scales (bodily pain, physical functioning, and role physical) at 1 year after adjusting for the covariates (p values= 0.0010.06). Improvement in SF-36 scores was maintained at 2 years.
In this real-life observational cohort, appropriate gout specific-therapy was associated with statistical and clinically meaningful improvements in the number of flares and HRQOL at 1 year then maintained at 2 years. SF-36 is responsive to change with treatment in gout over time. Our data shows that SF-36 is responsive to change in chronic gout.

Bradley Cooper Has Been Living With His Mom For Two Years
In a rather poignant interview, Hangover star Bradley Cooper tells Details he's been living with his mother Gloria since his father passed away from cancer in January 2011.
"Let's face it: It's probably not easy for her, by the way, to be living with her son. It's life. And right now, two years after my father's death, this is where we are," he says. "My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us. It was a schism, and its aftershock has not stopped. And we need each other. So here we are."
He continues:
"But don't get me wrong. It's not without complications. It's not like I live in a compound and she's in the guesthouse. No. She's in the next room. But here's the thing: She's a cool chick. We can hang, and she can roll with the punches. If that wasn't the case, there's no way."
who is dating 20-year-old model Suki Waterhouse — goes on to say his father's death put his own life into perspective ("I just don't sweat the sh-t. The small stuff. My mind is just less busy now.") and got him thinking about starting a family of his own.
"I really hope I have that experience in my life," he said. "I saw how much joy fatherhood gave my own dad. So I hope it's part of my journey. You go through stages in your life, and fatherhood seems like a natural stage."
Cooper brought his mother to the Oscars in February. He was nominated for his performance in Silver Linings Playbook.

Jeffrey Lord did not expect to become famous.
He shakes his head in disbelief when reflecting upon how he, a 66-year-old former White House insider living in central Pennsylvania, became a regular commentator and provocateur on CNN, defending the actions of Republican President Donald Trump.
"It's amazing," he laughs when he goes through the exhaustive list of media requests awaiting his response. "I still find this amazing."
"When people come over to do these profiles on me, they always focus on the hair," he said, gesturing to his tuft of white locks.
And for good reason. The hair often gives Lord the look of CNN's grinning mad scientist.

How to make your bathroom spacious? If you have a small bathroom and want to be as big as possible, then you should consider taking so many ideas small bathroom you can get before you decide to design because there are many styles that will have very different effects depending on the room and the pipe. You can find a lot of designers out there who would be willing to remodel your small bathroom because it will give them a chance to test their skills when it comes to use of space.
When it comes to remodeling your bathroom to make it more comprehensive, it is important for you to consider aspects of storage and organization. You should carefully plan how to store and organize items that will double the space in your room and make it a more exclusive design. Keep in mind that if your bathroom is full of garbage, then it is a great chance that it will be lower. Items such as towels, a magazine shop, large images and statues should be removed from your bathroom and put them in the other larger rooms in your home. It would be very helpful when it comes to saving a lot of space.

One of the many ideas small bathrooms are designed to save space is to use a storage closet. You should consider building built cabinets that is integrated directly into your shower door, because it allows you to make more room. It will also allow you to enjoy the area behind the hall itself. You should also consider replacing the vanity and cabinets that survive only because they proved to be a big spender space. It is also important for you to add a small closet. Instead hang your towels in the towel, you should consider storing it in a small closet. It will transform your bathroom into an environment that is more open and accessible.
Another important tip is removed from the ideas bathroom remodeling is to consider the addition of sufficient light levels in your project to renovate the bathroom. This is one of many small bathroom ideas that can help you maximize the space. You should consider the use of recessed ceiling luminaires for general illumination, because it is very useful in extending the height of your ceiling. If you use or hanging pendant mount fixtures surface, so there is a great opportunity for your ceiling look lower. We can also expect that the space becomes more crowded when using this type of light.

A Mercury orientation model including non-zero obliquity and librations
- First Online:

Planetary orientation models describe the orientation of the spin axis and prime meridian of planets in inertial space as a function of time. The models are required for the planning and execution of Earth-based or space-based observational work, e.g. to compute viewing geometries and to tie observations to planetary coordinate systems. The current orientation model for Mercury is inadequate because it uses an obsolete spin orientation, neglects oscillations in the spin rate called longitude librations, and relies on a prime meridian that no longer reflects its intended dynamical significance. These effects result in positional errors on the surface of ~1.5 km in latitude and up to several km in longitude, about two orders of magnitude larger than the finest image resolution currently attainable. Here we present an updated orientation model which incorporates modern values of the spin orientation, includes a formulation for longitude librations, and restores the dynamical significance to the prime meridian. We also use modern values of the orbit normal, spin axis orientation, and precession rates to quantify an important relationship between the obliquity and moment of inertia differences.

LaLa Vazquez Talks Christmas, Giving Back & New Year's Resolutions (PHOTOS)
"My husband [Carmelo Anthony] has his first game back with the Knicks on Christmas Day, so I'll be spending the day at the basketball game. I'm excited though because the NBA is back," she told Celebuzz. "It'll be fun to have our whole family in town and go to the game. We're really looking forward to it."
With only a few days left until Christmas, LaLa reveals she still has lots of shopping to do for her 4-year-old son, Kiyan.
"He's really into power rangers and ninjas. Anything in that world, he's happy with. Carmelo and I have been on the hunt for all that stuff," she said, adding that shopping for her husband is more difficult. "What do you get the guy who has everything? I really have to put a lot of thought into what I get him," she admitted.
Meanwhile, LaLa got into the true holiday spirit and joined Rob Kardashian and Jessica Lowndes in NYC to donate toys to children of the Toy Industry Foundation at the launch of the Duracell Holiday Insurance Program. (They even caught an exclusive Daughtry concert live on Facebook fans on Facebook.com/Duracell!)
"It's the holiday season, and I want to give back. Every kid deserves to have a good Christmas, and I'm happy to lend my support to Duracell's cause," LaLa said.
And with the New Year quickly approaching, LaLa has a few resolutions with hopes of slimming down.
" Every year, I vow that I'm going to eat healthier. I start off on the right foot, but I usually break it. This year, I really want to be more health conscious — especially for my son. With kids it's easy to pick up fast food, but I want to make an effort to be healthier when feeding him," she said.

There is a way to wind a long tissue panel around a straw that ends up looking pretty dog gone much like a real hyacinth flower. And it seems that even kinders can make their own, after watching a few demonstrations. This project inspiration comes from a lovely posting found at Aunt Peaches.

The Open Source Initiative is going to try to stop the pointless proliferation of different open source licences which the group says "has become a significant barrier to open-source deployment", reports eWeek. In future, "Approved licenses must meet three new criteria of being a) nonduplicative, b) clear and understandable, and c) reusable."
The problem is that code developed under different licences all gets mixed together in implementations, producing a legal quagmire. OSI says:
"The hard truth is this: In order to address the problem of license proliferation effectively, both sides—both partisans of a particular license and companies—will have to give up their vanity projects. The day of the open-source license as tribal flag or corporate monument will have to come to a close."
Comment: This move is at least four years overdue and is a belated attempt to shut the stable door long after the horse has bolted. The irony is that the Open Source Initiative is basically responsible for creating the problem: if Eric Raymond had stuck to his GNUs and kept faith with Richard Stallman's GPL, it wouldn't have happened.
Of course, almost all commercial software producers -- such as IBM, Sun and Microsoft -- find the GPL unpalatable, so the open source movement would have been slower to develop. But it would have avoided the current situation, where a lot of "open source" code uses licenses that are incompatible with the one used for GNU/Linux.

So there's still no indication of the membership binders, one black, one white, by traditional left on the shrine in the back classroom.

As far as I can work out, they were left out on the table, and then Miloh put them back on the shrine at around 10PM Wednesday. When I was here Thursday, the back classroom had been entirely cleared, the shrine cleaned and no membership binders.

Put it this way: when did *anyone* *last* see our binders?

So has anyone seen them? The back classroom got tidied up, but I talked to Fazan(?) and he said that the binders weren't on the shrine when he tidied. Anyone else seen them?

Houston TX (SPX) Jan 01, 2013
Arizonans can get a sense of what spaceflight is like at NASA's Destination Station exhibit at the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa. The interactive exhibit reveals the inside of America's orbiting laboratory while educating visitors about the vast array of science and research being done in low-Earth orbit.
"This exhibit is a magnificent way for children, especially, to be able to imagine what it is like for astronauts living in space," said Kathy Eastman of the museum.
"It brings to life what many children dream about when they look at the stars."
The exhibit opening is a precursor to more NASA activities coming in 2013. Destination Station is NASA's International Space Station Program national awareness campaign, promoting station research and opportunities, educating communities about the people living and working on the station, and communicating the real and potential benefits for our everyday lives.
The exhibit is free with admission to the museum. NASA will be sponsoring many activities that will be open to the public at various locations in the Phoenix and Tucson areas Feb. 21 through March 3.
The space station is a multinational research facility and the largest spacecraft ever built.
It is an official U.S. National Laboratory where astronauts and scientists from around the world conduct experiments in fundamental life, physical, Earth and space science, as well as human health, technologies for space exploration and the improvement of life on Earth.

Don't waste your time with me I will dissapoint you.
I am a witty, humorous, mature guy who is curious, adventurous, loves learning and travel, a person with character and intelligence interested in spiritual matters (I am very liberal and open to ideas, but not religious in the traditional sense of the word), the origin and nature of the Universe, and human behavior, past and present. I try to live the Scout Law (rules for being a "good person;" these rules are not just for adolescent boys), the 10 Commandments (more guidelines), and what Jesus taught. Conversations with God is my second Bible. (Extra points if you know that trilogy, lol.) These are my values, and a summary of who I am; at least the person I aspire to be. This doesn't mean I am stiff, dogmatic, or a prude, quite the contrary. It means I respect the Universe (am in awe of it), and my fellows and try to be the "greatest version of the grandest vision" I have ever had of myself, and a positive force for not only civility, but community (in the largest sense) also. I also like beer, wine, champagne, and brandy, lol.
*About the smoking, which I know is a problem for many of you. I am not proud of that part of me, but I enjoy it, especially when I am having morning coffee or an alcoholic beverage. I didn't start until I was about 27, which fact, of course "macht nicht" as the Germans say. I am very considerate, only smoke outdoors, don't throw butts on the ground, can go months without indulging, especially when among other people who don't smoke. I smoke when I am alone and/or hungry or stressed. I am an Eagle Scout (it's about building character, learning skills, gaining knowledge, not just camping). I can survive in a Spanish or French speaking country. I spent my earlier working years in local government, property renovation and management (mostly 19th century inner city Baltimore properties and probably my most significant achievement in this life; more later), mortgage lending, food service and sales. I can do most of the residential construction trades (licensed master gas fitter - (Baltimore City) but I have also worked in areas that required more mental effort than hands on work. Post-college I took all the accounting courses offered at Howard CC (elected to Phi Theta Kappa honorary fraternity) as I am business oriented. I have designed and general contracted a 3000+ sq. ft. Williamsburg reproduction residence on a 3 acre wooded lot just outside Columbia, MD.
In the mid 1970s I partnered with a fellow who had assembled a group of rundown properties. I had a free hand in shaping a real business. By the early 1980s I accomplished that and was able to pay myself $44k in salary and benefits after all other expenses were paid. I was the first property manager the local arts college (MICA) sent out-of-town students to for housing.
I rarely ran credit reports on prospective residents and I was correct 95% of the time; all of my associates had master keys and there was never an incidence of theft or misbehavior. When I interviewed someone for a job, I asked them How much do you desire to be paid? He/she told me and I said, Write your hours down, give me the bill, and I'll write you a check on Friday. If someone came to me 6 months later and said, Boss, I need a raise, I said How much? OK, give me your bill on Friday.
I relate well to people of all races, religions, and socioeconomic strata. I can easily start a conversation with any seemingly friendly person and they seem to feel good about it. If they don't seem friendly, I talk to them anyway: one would be surprised at how many "closeted" friendly people there are out there. I can also be sardonic.
I fathered and help raise 2 intelligent, accomplished, and beautiful children (their mother was good looking, too, lol). Son graduated Carleton, has an MBA from NYU, daughter graduated Washington U., St. Louis. Both have what we call "good jobs."
I have performed (minor roles/chorus) in high school (National Thespian Society) and community theater and sang in an informal college group.
I can sail a 50' sloop (Annapolis Sailing School bareboat charter captain course out of St. Croix) and drive an even larger powerboat. (I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay.) I can scuba dive ( PADI certified advanced open water diver) and water and downhill ski. I am comfortable in a kitchen, in the woods, and in/on water. Prefer warm weather to cold.
I graduated from a well known New England university and was admitted to Mensa, on my SATs. I belong to a final (social) club at Harvard. I love to discuss just about any topic and I read anything at hand (especially the signs in Spanish on buses, lol) if I am not immersed in the book that I am carrying. I feel insecure about all that I should know, don't know, haven't learned. We grow too soon old and too late smart (German/PA Dutch proverb).
I have traveled to Canada, Tijuana, USVI & BVI, Puerto Rico, Bermuda, Nassau, Colombia, Costa Rica, London, France, Spain, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland and Berlin. (Please don't feel intimidated; I am seeking a woman friend and companion, not a travel writer.)
I don't have any chronic degenerative disease that I am aware of (never had an STI either), and don't take any drugs, Rx or others. I like to walk. I try to stay neat, clean, and organized in my personal life; if I am an invited houseguest no one will have to clean up after me in the kitchen or bathroom.
If I can't find a compatible partner to keep me in MD I am planning on traveling the US and elsewhere (South, Central America, maybe Mexico, look good) with a backpack, staying in hostels, Airbnbs, campgrounds while I am still young and fit enough to do that. I'd love to find a traveling companion. An ideal situation would be a combination of both, a relationship with someone who would like to take a month now and then and go to Ecuador, Mexico or any place warm, fun, and interesting.
All of the above is true, Scout's honor. I doubt that I will ever find anyone but I still search.
I won't probably ever tell you everything I think, because most will perceive it as weakness on my part.
Trying to find a kindred spirit to share the future with.

- Have the ability to travel to any of these cities and have the storyline include all of them.
2. Have a more customisable character.
- Before you start the storyline have the ability to create a character from scratch. So you can determine age, gender, race, height, weight etc.
- Bring back tattoos and hairstle changes. And have the ability to change this throughout the story.
- Reintroduce the ability to gain/lose muscle and weight by going to the gym and eating more/less.
3. More transport options.
- Bring back planes and pilot training.
- Include more plane and helicopter models.
4. A more destructible environment.
- Have cars go through building walls if you drive fast enough.
- If a big enough explosion occurs smaller buildings could collapse. (excluding skyscrapers to avoid 9/11 controversy.)
5. Have some of the storyline in a prison.
- During a mission the player would be captured by police (mandatory) and sent to prison.
- The aim in prison would be to make allies and fight gangs. All culminating with a large prison escape mission after which the player can resume with the previous storyline.
6. Have more missions with choices.
- Have more missions such as the Holland Play and the Deal/Revenge storyline in GTA IV where the player has to make choices which affect the overall plot.
- Have multiple endings possible by making choices such as Deal/Revenge endings in GTA IV. This will make people want to keep playing to complete every possible storyline.
7. Have a more diverse weather system.
- Include seasons, e.g Winter there is snow and ice so driving on the roads is more treacherous. In Fall there could be lots of leaves on the ground and blowing around.

State Highway Patrol trainee shoots girlfriend, turns gun on himself
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
DORCHESTER COUNTY, SC - A South Carolina Highway Patrol trainee is dead and a woman is wounded after a domestic violence incident in Ladson.
Dorchester County Sheriffs Deputies said that a woman called 911 around 2 a.m. Saturday, saying her boyfriend shot her twice in the arm.
When Deputies arrived, the woman told authorities that her boyfriend, 25-year-old Douglas Moses, was drinking and then began arguing with her. The woman was able to make it to a neighbor's home where she called 911.
Captain Tony Phinney with the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office told News 2 Deputies found Moses dead inside of his home with a gunshot wound.
The Dorchester County Coroner later confirmed that it appears Moses died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
State Highway Patrol officials confirm that Moses was just weeks away from graduating from basic training to become a state trooper. Lt. Kelly Hughes said Moses started with the organization in January and was slated to graduate the beginning of May.
Hughes said he couldn't comment on Moses' disciplinary background while with the highway patrol.
The identity of the woman has not been released, but officials tell News 2 the woman is recovering at the Medical University of South Carolina with non-life threatening injuries.

In 2012, Florida was a state where a lifeguard got fired for saving a life, a woman got arrested for riding a manatee and a man repeatedly used 911 as a phone sex service.
Think that's weird? It gets worse and more tragic.
In one of the state's most horrifying stories of the year, a man in Miami stripped a homeless man naked, chewing off most of his face before being fatally shot by police. And it wasn't the only story of its kind. In Manatee County, deputies used multiple Tasers to subdue a naked man who bit off part of another man's arm.
Later in the year a man won a roach-eating contest outside a Deerfield Beach pet store and then dropped dead in front of the store when body parts of the dozens of roaches he swallowed blocked his airway.
"We tend to be a magnet from every direction for all kinds of sketchery," said Billy Corben, a documentary film director whose works include "Cocaine Cowboys" about Miami's cocaine wars in the 1980s. "It's very late in the game where we go, 'That dude? I guess he seemed kind of weird.'"
Corben, whose "The Billy Pulpit" website compiles weird Florida news, said Floridians tend to show up in high numbers on "The Jerry Springer Show" and "America's Most Wanted." And odd stories elsewhere always seem to have a Florida tie — like former CIA director David Petraeus's extramarital affair being exposed through a Tampa socialite.
And when anti-virus software founder John McAfee ran from Belizean authorities who wanted to question him about the slaying of a neighbor, he wound up in Miami Beach, where he shopped, ate sushi and posed for photos with tourists.
"The state seems to either passively or directly endorse all of this lunacy in some way or another," Corben said.

Smothered Pork Roast Over RiceApril 12, 2012 | By Adam Roberts | 11 Comments
Have you ever made a roux? Like: really made a roux?
I've made a roux in quotes–a "roux"–whenever I've taken a roasted chicken out of its cast iron skillet, added some flour to the pan, cooked it for a minute or two and finished it up with a big glass of white wine. That makes for a thick, chickeny, winey sauce that's very tasty. But after visiting New Orleans last year, and purchasing Donald Link's indispensible cookbook "Real Cajun," I'd been meaning to make a real Cajun roux. The kind that you have to develop for a while at the stove, the kind that you have to watch carefully, the kind that goes from a toast stage to a cardboard stage based on the smells its giving off. Which is why, last week, I made Donald Link's Smothered Pork Roast Over Rice, a recipe he learned from his grandmother, and one that involves the creation of a peanut butter-colored roux.
Imperial Woodpecker Sno-BallsJuly 11, 2011 | By Adam Roberts | 0 Comments
You may recall that on our recent trip to New Orleans, we enjoyed something called a Sno-Ball. We ate this Sno-Ball at a place called Hansen's Sno-Bliz and though I was wary at first–"isn't it just ice and syrup?"–I was quickly won over by the texture of that ice and the intense flavor of that syrup. So imagine my delight and surprise when I learned that over in the old West Village City Bakery space (at 7th Ave. and Charles) a New Orleans-style Sno-Ball place had just opened up, a place called Imperial Woodpecker.
New Orleans Wrap-UpJune 27, 2011 | By Adam Roberts | 0 Comments
Just to bring some closure to the whole New Orleans experience, an experience that we loved, I thought I'd do a tie-it-up-with-a-bow wrap-up post for you to bookmark for your next trip there. To review: you must visit Cafe du Monde and Commander's Palace (as all the guidebooks will tell you). Off the beaten path, you must go listen to music on Frenchmen St. (skip Bourbon Street. Really.) and, during the day, if you're schvitzing, cool off with a Pimm's Cup at Napoleon House or a Sno-Bliz at Hansen's. Meal-wise, you're not allowed to miss Cochon. Make sure to drink a Sazerac at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop and Bar. And, if you have some extra meals to figure out, do visit Mandina's, The Green Goddess and/or The Camellia Grill (depending on what you're craving). And if you don't have a trip planned yet, go next year for JazzFest. We're planning to go then too.
Great New Orleans Meals at Mandina's, The Green Goddess, The Camellia Grill & CochonJune 24, 2011 | By Adam Roberts | 0 Comments
We ate many meals in New Orleans, but the following four meals were the most memorable for me. In all four cases, these weren't meals you could enjoy anywhere else in the country. The food, the people, and, most importantly, the environments added up to create four totally unique experiences; experiences that I recommend you have on your next trip there.
The SazeracJune 23, 2011 | By Adam Roberts | 0 Comments
When in New Orleans, you should drink a Sazerac. I didn't know this until I went with Pim to dinner at a place called Mandina's (more on that tomorrow) and she ordered one. Pim's Sazerac was so good–it's made with Rye whiskey, absinthe or Herbsaint (an anise-flavor liqueur, like Pernod), and bitters–I made a mental note to order one the next night with Craig so he could experience it too.

The Craziest Environment
Posted by Justin on Feb 25, 2014
Thursday's game against Duke was a lot of things for me. It was a second chance, it was my last game in the Smith Center as a recruit and it was the craziest environment I've witnessed.
Originally, I found out the morning of the first Duke game that my family wasn't going to be able to make it.
We were bummed, but were fine just being able to watch it on TV together as a family. Then it was postponed, and we found out we had another chance to come to Chapel Hill. That was really exciting. Our plane arrived in Raleigh on Wednesday night. We just relaxed at the hotel that night, but got up the next morning and went to Franklin Street. We ate at Sutton's because we've been there a few times before and the food is really good.
Then we went shopping and picked up a bunch of Carolina stuff. After that, we went to the basketball offices and met with Coach Robinson. Me, my brother and sister shot a little bit on the Smith Center court and then we watched the team's shootaround.
At the game, we were seated right in front of the student risers. It was by far the best game and whole situation I've ever experienced. I got chills when they announced the starting lineups knowing that, Lord willing, I'll be in the starting lineup announcements of this game one day. I've been to other games, and other Duke games, but it was a different feeling because the next go-around, I'll be on the court.
During halftime, I had a conversation with Theo Pinson just about how close we are to being on the court for the game. We went over and talked to Justise Winslow. He was an AAU teammate of mine and is going to Duke next season. We're all friends, but once we get to our schools, we're going to be enemies. The only thing that will matter is whatever I can do to help us win. But it was cool to talk to him and hang out for a little bit.
It got to the point in the second half where it felt like the whole place was shaking, and the game was amazing. Even though they got down by 11, I never thought they were out of it because they've been playing so well lately. For a while, if Duke kept on hitting shots it looked like it might be a tough game.
When they won and the students stormed the court, it cemented it as the best game I've been to.
We did a little bit of courtstorming and I got knocked over a little bit because there were so many people coming onto the court. I stayed off the court because by the time all the students got on there it was full. At the end, though, we were on the court when they played 'Jump Around' and all that.
It's funny; we had to wait to get to the locker room because there were so many people on the court. Theo didn't. He sprinted into the locker room as soon as the team went in.
Coach Williams was excited. He was basically saying how he was glad it ended better than the Duke game I was at last year. All of the coaches were so excited and so happy. It was a lot different.
After we talked to Coach Williams and some of the players, we went to Franklin Street. When we actually got there, the cops were clearing off the road. But to see all the people in the street, it was crazy. I've never seen anything like that.
Our high school season is almost over and, if you didn't know, I've been out the last three weeks with a Grade III ankle sprain. The state playoffs start this week and I'll be able to play. The sprain I had was worse than I thought and it won't be fully healed for a while. But my doctors said that I could play as long as I make sure to wear the brace.
It's been hard not playing. I might have missed a few games as a freshman, if not in junior high. Either way, it's been a long time. We ended up losing three games while I was out and it was tough to watch, knowing that if you were there you could help them do better. It's a terrible feeling.
But I'm back now and hopefully I can help my team bring home a championship.

PM at Kerem Shalom: Israel can only rely on itself (JERUSALEM POST) By HERB KEINON, YAAKOV KATZ, JPOST.COM STAFF 08/07/12)

JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu joined Defense Minister Ehud Barak on a tour of the Kerem Shalom area Monday where a terrorist infiltration was thwarted Sunday night.
Netanyahu, near the burned out stolen Egyptian armed jeep, praised the soldiers and officers at the scene for their preparedness for the attack.
"I also want to express my sadness at the killing of the Egyptian soldiers. I think it is clear that Israel and Egypt have a joint interest in a quiet border," he said.
At the same time, Netanyahu said the failed attack proved once again that when it comes to the security of Israeli citizens, Israel "can and must rely only on itself. There is no one except the IDF and security forces of Israel that can do this, and we will continue to do so."
Earlier Monday, Barak told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committeethat that he hoped the attack would spur Egypt to take stronger action in the Sinai Peninsula.
"Perhaps this will be necessary wake-up call for the Egyptians to take matters in their hands in a more serious way," Barak said.
During a tour of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.- Gen. Benny Gantz said that a large disaster was averted.
In the ambitious and sophisticated attack on Sunday night, global jihad terrorists infiltrated Israel after breaking into an Egyptian military base and stealing two vehicles, including an armored jeep.
One of the vehicles, a small pickup truck, exploded as it rammed through a section of the fence near the Kerem Shalom crossing, which is shared by Israel, Egypt and the Gaza Strip. A number of terrorists succeeded in exiting the second vehicle before it was destroyed by an air strike. They crossed into Israel and engaged in a firefight with IDF troops. Eight terrorists were killed in the gunfight.
During the raid on the Egyptian base, around 15 Egyptian soldiers were killed. IDF sources said the attackers were probably Beduin residents of Sinai who were part of a larger global jihad terror cell based in the peninsula.
These are terrorists who are connected between the Gaza Strip and the Sinai, Gantz said during a tour of the border with OC Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Tal Russo. This was a joint operation of intelligence agencies, the Israel Air Force and the IDF infantry and armored units which worked all together and succeeded in ending the attack within 15 minutes from when it began.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said that the Egyptians know very well the significance of Sunday´s attack and what they need to do, and don´t need Israel´s advice.
Liberman, on a tour of the northern border with other members of his Israel Beytenu party, said it was clear in Cairo that the attacks in Sinai are bad for Egypt´s´ national security, for its economy and tourism trade. "I hope the Egyptians will draw the conclusions," he said.
The conclusions Jerusalem hopes the Egyptians draw is that they will act more forcefully in Sinai to stamp out the global Jihadist terrorism growing there, and which threatens both Israel and Egypt.
Liberman, asked whether Israel sent any messages to the new government in Egypt since the attack, said that Jerusalem was in daily contact with Egypt.
"I don´t think Egypt needs any advice from us, they alone understand the significance of this type of actions," he said. "I only hope that they draw the conclusions and we see results as fast as possible for the good of the whole region."
On landing in Athens at the start of his state visit to Greece on Monday, President Shimon Peres, at the official reception hosted by his Greek counterpart Karolos Papoulias, offered condolences to the people of Egypt.
It is in the interests of both Egypt and Israel to maintain peace and quiet on both sides of the border, and throughout southern Israel, he said. Greer Fay Cashman contributed to this report. (© 1995-2011, The Jerusalem Post 08/07/12)

RED LINE - UNION STATION - March, 2012
I used to drive a 1967 Buick Riviera. It's the kind of car that helped make Los Angeles smog a legend. Despite its poor mileage, the car was surprisingly inexpensive to operate, as long as I didn't mind the occasional repair crisis. But with its powerful V8, Buddy Buick didn't much care for heavy traffic or the state of Los Angeles's streets, and was sometimes difficult to park. This beast was only a true joy to drive on an uncongested freeway where it could open up to 80mph without thinking about it. That's not something I did often (or for you law enforcement types - ever). And now, Buddy Buick is gone, sold to a man who seemed prepared to restore him to his former glory.
So, when traveling within the sprawl of Los Angeles, I always look for the possibility of taking mass transit. Cross town buses are often crowded, usually dirty, and not always reliable. I've come to the conclusion that "Not In Service" is the most often seen line on the streets of L.A. What I wouldn't give to have the old Red Car and electric train system again!
I live in Hollywood, a quick, five-minute walk to Hollywood and Highland - a ten-minute drive on a weekend night. In my and nearby neighborhoods, we have the option of using a DASH bus. For a mere quarter dollar, I can ride quite a distance and get around to many places rather well. Unfortunately, DASH shuts down in the evening and that's when the buses get even more sketchy.
My favorite mode of mass transit is the rail system that has been slowly returning to Los Angeles. It's limited, very limited. The Red Line runs from Union Station to North Hollywood. A spur called the Purple Line runs from the Vermont/Wilshire station to Wilshire/Western and stops, dead in its tracks. The Blue Line makes its way from Seventh and Flower in downtown Los Angeles all the way down to Long Beach - very slowly. And a Green Line follows the Century Freeway from Norwalk to just maddeningly short of LAX (once there, you still have to catch a shuttle to the airport terminals) and on to Redondo Beach. A recent Gold Line runs from Union Station to Pasadena and the latest Gold Line section runs from Union Station to East L.A. The Exposition Transit Corridor, opening later this year, will connect downtown L.A. with Culver City.
So, there are a lot of places not serviced by rail, but if you are fortunate enough to live, work, and/or play near a rail station, you're in luck. My plan is to travel all these lines and explore the city near its stations, block by block. I hope you will enjoy what I find in my travels and take the time to explore these routes and destinations yourself whenever the opportunity arises.
Here are some ground rules: I will explore one station at a time and take as long as I need to explore the blocks surrounding it. While I may take some time to review a particular shop/restaurant/attraction, I will not feel obligated to review them all. If I don't mention a place you are aware of, let me know. I either missed it or felt it wasn't worth mentioning for any number of reasons. The distance I go on foot is up to me, I suppose. I like to walk and I often walk very fast, covering substantial distances in a short period of time. But I recognize I'm a freak that way and will probably limit myself to a 15-minute unobstructed walk. If this turns out to be not long enough to cover a desirable distance or too long for what's available, I'll adjust accordingly.
I don't plan to do this every day and may not even get to do it every week, though I hope to do at least that. All questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome, but I make no promise that any of them will be acknowledged or answered. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy the trip!
Pre Ramble
Friday, midday, I hop on the Red Line at Hollywood and Vine and take a seat next to a young woman peacefully reading Henry Miller. Further up the car is the guy who, on the platform, I noticed probably hadn't bathed in a month. Maybe he had no choice. A little closer, there's the guy who is constantly talking to himself (on the platform I thought I heard him say something to the effect that they better stop coming after him). Never mind that he wears a suit and carries a briefcase. Off to my right, a nicely-dressed trio play word games. The guy right in front of me wears shades and headphones in an attempt to shut out the world. To thicken his shield, he adds a swig from a 40 ounce wrapped in a brown paper bag, then crumples it and shoves the whole mess under his seat. A minute later, he cracks the cap on a mini bottle of booze and takes a hit of something brown. A few stops down the line a guy boards and hawks candy from a box. Most people keep to themselves. Some people need to be left alone. There are two women with a toddler strapped into a stroller. The toddler waves at the talking man just before they all get off at Civic Center Station. I ride on to the end of the line with the Henry Miller reader.
When you get off the train, be sure to read the signs - always read the signs. I was in the front car, so the nearest exit was to Vignes Street (exiting the other way takes you up into the center of the station). When you emerge from the subway, you find yourself in a pleasant atrium. It's worth coming here to look at the murals, maybe take a seat next to the barely running fountain, and enjoy the breeze coming in off Vignes.
You can head west through the tunnel if you're in a hurry or need to catch a train. If you want a bus, exit to the east. This leads you to the Patasouras Transit Plaza where you can catch buses to various points as well as the LAX Flyaway bus. But, if you're in no hurry, you will notice, beckoning from the other side of Vignes, a huge yellow sign with the name BIG BANG Coffee Shop in red letters.
The Big Bang, at Vignes and Ramirez, has a retro feel and a basic diner menu with daily specials. The place is open from 5a.m. to 11p.m. and offers a 20% discount for police officers in uniform. I ordered the top sirloin and eggs special with coffee and toast. Although the cook prepared the steak as ordered - perfectly medium rare, I'm not sure he seasoned it very well. So, I tried A-1 sauce for the first time in my life. Yeah, first time. I'd smelled it all my life in bars and diners across Missouri, but had never tried the stuff, always preferring Worcestershire (Lea & Perrins only, please). It's good! A-1 is good. Who would have known?
Later, I strolled north by northwest along Vignes. Parker Center, jails, bail bondsmen (and one place called "Bond Girls"), and one small café called Richie's. Unless you're working for law enforcement, the MTA, or you know somebody in those concrete towers, there is really no reason to go beyond the bus plaza or Big Bang. I did find it mildly disconcerting that hidden amongst the bail bond offices was the Wai Seng Meat Co. Oh, they sell bean sprouts, too. That makes me feel much better. And a note to City Hall: If you really want to make the city more pedestrian friendly, make all the walk signals automatic. All of them.
I don't think I can add to the information available on
Union Station
. You should go and see for yourself. If you aren't in a hurry, take a good long look at the place. You can rent a car here. And there are payphones! Everywhere!
Yeah, there's fast food here, but try to pass it by. Much better food is a short distance away. Don't skip the See's Candies kiosk, though. Who can resist See's? Heading through the waiting room toward the west entrance, you'll find
Traxx Restaurant.
I have not eaten there. Yet.
Traxx Bar
is a little further on. Busy place at one in the afternoon.
Exiting to the south, you'll find a pleasant outdoor plaza between the station and the headquarters of the Metropolitan Water District. It's interesting to note that of all the fountains around the station, it looks like these are the only ones working properly. Beyond here there is nothing but parking lots and freeway ramps.
Exit through the main door and turn north, and you will find an apartment complex, Mosaic. And beyond that the United States Post Office Terminal Annex where you will find a full service post office in a very cool building.
Okay, now you can cross Alameda Street to the west. First, you will find the Wall of Honor, in remembrance of our Medal of Honor recipients. It's worth at least a pause - you can't be in so big a hurry not to.
Continuing on you will find the cradle of Los Angeles -
El Pueblo de Los Angeles.
Also, the beautiful historic buildings of the Pico-Garnier block where you will find the Chinese American Museum, the Central Plaza, and Olvera Street with all it's shops, stalls, restaurants and not one, but two candle shops. Eat, shop, explore.
This place has two churches - Methodist right by the shops and Catholic across Main to the west. The Mexican Consulate is here and to the west a newly opened facility,
La Plaza
- free until June when they start charging admission. I strongly urge you to take your time, all day if you have it. Or visit here often. I've been here several times in the past twenty years, and there is always something new. I'll be returning soon because I think I'll be buying a belt at Armando Murillo's leather shop.
Crossing Cesar E. Chavez to the north, you will find
SmokeHouse BBQ
Caveman Vintage Music.
Caveman has a great selection of vinyl, along with a few CDs and tapes. The true beauty of this shop is the scores of vintage instruments and audio equipment. Keep going north and you will find yourself on the south edge of Chinatown. There's plenty of restaurants - Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, Portuguese, and Peruvian! But the real reason to walk a little further north is
Phillipe The Original French Dipped Sandwiches
at the corner of Alameda and Ord. It is required that you go there. The lines are long, but that's okay. You'll need the time to read the huge wall menu.
For the adventurous among you there is one more place I found. It's Shang Lee Poultry on New High Street, just north of Ord. Their sign advertises "Live & Fresh Poultry." Yes, you can even hear the birds in the back as you approach the entrance. I suspect that if you want really fresh poultry, this may be the place to get it. Not recommended for the squeamish.
I would have stopped at Traxx Bar for a gin & tonic just to see if they know how to make them, but there wasn't an empty bar stool at 3:40 in the afternoon. So I bought a box of See's candy instead. Nuts and chews - the only way to go. I'll do better next time - buy that belt, maybe a candle, and perhaps eat in one of the oldest dining houses in Los Angeles.
There were no remarkable characters on the train home - we all looked a little tired. I exited at Hollywood & Highland, emerging into the open air freak show that is my neighborhood. Hey, it's home.

The day after the right field wall got the better of their collision, Bryce Harper stood in the visitors clubhouse at Dodger Stadium and listed off what hurt: "Both legs. Shoulder. Ribs. Hand. Wrist. Chin, of course." In his chin, he had 11 stitches. He had to shave his beard for the procedure, and he said that upset him most.
Harper will miss tonight's game and almost certainly tomorrow's as he heals from the frightening, face-first crash. Harper felt nauseous all day Tuesday and even skipped batting practice. He could have played with soreness, he said, but not the queasy feeling. Harper reiterated he does not have a concussion, which doctors determined using the ImPACT cognitive test. But Manager Davey Johnson did not rule out Harper receiving more rest.
"I feel kind of crappy today," Harper said. "I feel a little carsick, I guess you could say, like the feeling of that. I don't have a concussion or anything like that, which is very pleasant to hear."
The collision spurred many to wonder if Harper should dial back his effort, to mix some caution into his all-out style. Harper heard the talk, and he defied it. In the visitors clubhouse at Dodger Stadium, Harper again made clear he prioritizes effort over safety.
"I don't even know even know how to answer that question, besides the fact that I'm going to play this game for the rest of my life and try to play it as hard as I can every single day," Harper said. "My life being on the line, trying to kill myself out there for my team, trying to win a World Series, people can laugh at that all they want. At the end of the day, I'm going to look myself in the mirror and say I played this game as hard as I could."
"Throughout my career, I'll learn, I guess," Harper added. "But that's how I play. I've always played like that, even in college. I'd run into walls and get back up and go, 'Holy crap. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.' But that's the way I play. If I catch a ball and make a great catch for my pitcher, even if we're ahead 6-0, it's something that I pride myself on. I'm going to keep playing that like for the rest of my career."
Harper has only played the outfield full-time since 2010, the year the Nationals drafted him and converted him from catcher. Lack of experience, rather than too much hustle, may be the real culprit.
"He hasn't been out there enough to probably even realize he's running into the warning track," Johnson said. "But he's hit the fence enough times that he's going to get the translations of how close he can get to the wall. But I don't want to put a damper on his enthusiasm. That's who he is. It's just going to come with experience. One of the best teachers in the world is hitting that wall hard."
On the fateful play Monday night, Harper simply ran out of room.
"I thought I had the ball the whole time," Harper said. "I turned left. I didn't think [A.J. Ellis] hit it as hard as he did. I went back to the right side of it. I thought if I had about five more feet, I was on the ball. Just looking at the ball. I didn't feel the track. Right when I turned around to jump to get the ball, right when I turned around to leap up, I just hit the wall. I don't know if Denard [Span] was saying anything. I didn't hear Denard at all. I try to go balls to the wall. When I'm on the ball, I'm trying to get that ball."
Harper was asked if last night brought what he called "one of those 'holy crap' moments" from college. No, replied. When he got back up – before he tried to convince Johnson and head athletic trainer Lee Kuntz to let him stay in the game – he had only one thought in mind.
"I wish I would have caught the ball," he said.
