Los Angeles real estate crowdfunding platform, Realty Mogul has been moving at lightning speed ever since founder, Jilliene Helman decided to quit her job and pursue the concept full time. As an alumni of two startup accelerators (The Founder Institute and Microsoft Azure), a winner of a major pitch competition, and featured articles in several tech publications, Realty Mogul has seized every opportunity that's come their way.
Today, it looks like all their hard work has paid off. TechCrunch announced the launch of the Realty Mogul platform as well as a $500k seed round from Gust CEO David S. Rose, Gordon Stephenson (who's on the board of directors at Zillow), and serial entrepreneur Sky Kruse. Although today marks the official launch, Realty Mogul just completed its first project — AH Capital used the site to raise $110,000 to purchase and rehabilitate a duplex in Los Angeles.
Staying true to their "grow as quickly as humanly possible" mantra, the startup will also be participating in next week's Founder Showcase Pitch Competition. To see what Realty Mogul has in store for Wednesday's event, purchase your tickets to the March 27th showcase where Helman and the team will battle it out on stage with 7 other startup hopefuls.

Heavy rainfall dumped buckets of precipitation around the Bay Area and left nearly 340,000 PG&E customers without power over the weekend. Most have had power restored and skies have cleared, but forecasters warn not put away that umbrella just yet.
"We are expecting rain to move back into the North Bay early tomorrow morning and likely stick around through Wednesday, said NWS Meteorologist Christine Riley.
Riley predicted more rainfall to start in Sonoma County and Napa early Tuesday, then move into the rest of the Bay Area later that morning into the afternoon.
A five-day rain total issued Monday by the National Weather Services showed San Francisco County recorded 3.78 inches of rain, Oakland 3.84 inches, and Concord 4.67 inches. At the San Jose Airport, meteorologists recorded 2.45 inches of rain and Livermore had 3.71 inches.
In San Mateo County, Redwood City was hit with 2.73 inches of rainfall and 3.78 inches of rain was recorded at San Francisco International Airport.
The third and most powerful of the recent "Pineapple Express" storms swept over the Bay Area on Sunday morning, dumping heavy rain on a region already soaked.
Trees and power lines toppled, crashes cropped up on slippery roadways and thousands were without power, including BART riders who were stranded on subway cars during a one-hour outage early Sunday morning.
The storm, which began Thursday, impacted a total 339,409 customers around the Bay Area, King said. Power was restored to 337,547 of those affected, leaving 1,862 PG&E customers without power by Monday morning.
Specifically, in the East Bay, 543 customers were without power. In the North Bay 522 people were affected and 37 customers were without power in San Francisco.
"Of those remaining scattered outages, power is expected to be back up by mid to late afternoon," King said. "We're working as quickly and safely as possible."
Measured by rainfall and wind, it was one of the most powerful storm events since October 2009, said Jan Null, a meteorologist with the Golden Gate Weather Services. Pineapple Express is a term for warm weather fronts that start in the southwest Pacific and head toward California. This one started north of Hawaii, Null said.
"It was a pretty significant series of storms," he said. The storms actually swept through over a five-day period from Wednesday to Sunday, allowing some time for saturated areas to drain out. "If we had no breaks, it could have been worse."
The weekend deluge was also responsible for a giant sinkhole in Lafayette that may take several months to fix, a city official said.
In Santa Cruz, county road officials said pounding rain and high winds washed out Vine Hill Road. Crews on Sunday afternoon closed the roadway in both directions at Mile Marker Two, near Camino Vista at the upper end of the road, said Bob Leporini, the county's assistant road superintendent. He said it was not yet clear how long it would take to repair the road.
For Monday, forecasters predict partly cloudy skies for most of the Bay Area, with light winds and daytime temperatures in the low 60s.
The rest of the week should bring mostly cloudy skies and a chance of rain, but nothing like the triple-storm that just passed. The skies should clear up next weekend but high temperatures should remain in the mid-60s and drop into the upper 40s at night.

Arm Yourself
Arm warmers from a variety of lines ($30 and up) are quickly becoming the coolest sports accessories since sliced bread—especially since no one straps on sliced bread for warmth anymore. Made of breathable Lycra and comfy elastic at arm top and wrists, it's like a dickey for arms. Arm warmers also provide good sun coverage during transitional weather months. It's hot. It's cold. It's hot. It's cold. Wahhh. Grab fleece-lined ones once the weather turns frigid. Knee and leg warmers are available as well ($35 and up), but may end up taking a back seat to the more traditional "pants."
New Mexico Bike N Sport, 524-C W. Cordova Road, 505-820-0809
Big Black Mat
One way to part the sea of scrawny purple mats in a yoga studio is to slap down your big, black Manduka PRO mat ($98). Watch as your fellow yogis ooh and ahh over the luscious, densely thick non-slip surface that is nice to your spine, joints, knees and elbows, and is certain to improve your practice. A lifetime guarantee makes this possibly the world's first heirloom mat. Pair it with the Urban Block ($16) to fashion-forward your yoga gear.

Wool Worth It
You've never experienced wool like these Icebreaker base layers…unless you are a sheep. They even come with a unique "Baacode" so you can trace back the origins of your wool to some sort of god-like man-ram. This versatile activewear line ($25 and up) is moisture-wicking and nearly impervious to stench, which makes it a travel necessity. Icebreaker's merino wools are available in several base layer weights that can be worn in extreme conditions without adding bulk because the superfine threads are superior to any other wool thread (see god-like man-ram explanation). Find the perfect layer for your sport and stay cool, not stinky.

Tiny Dancer Toes
Breakthrough! Some sock/shoe/dancer genius invented FootUndeez ($23). They look just like tighty whities but are made from a nude fabric that employs two crucial suede pads for the area just under the toes. Just pull them over your toes and voila! You get the flexibility of bare feet with the protection of a shoe. Now you can dance, do yoga, Pilates or finally make the all-conference whirling dervish team while gaining traction and keeping your feet free and bare.
Kicks, 801 Cerrillos Road, 505-982-9277
Total Eclipse of the Shoe
The hottest shoe under the sun is the Nike Lunar Glide+ ($100), with its blistering colors and ability to adjust to the pronation of nearly every foot that inhabits its comfy fuselage. Pronation describes the way your body distributes weight through the cycle of your gait. Some tend to shift so that the weight compensates more to the left or the right of the foot, while others stay evenly distributed to the middle. The Lunar Glide+ sees no difference and makes this a foot ride for all to enjoy. The Lunar Glide is Nike+ enabled, which means it has a sensor embedded in the sock liner that talks to your iPod, iPhone or other Nike+ device to record your pace, distance, time and calories burned. Download those tidbits of info to keep track of your progress and training goals.

Since the past 3 or 4 days, I have been experimenting with something.
A senior student told me during last weekend's Zazenkai that following/counting breath is recommended for beginners as with "just sitting" we may fool ourselves that we are alert even at times when we are lost. Somehow later during the week, I thought of putting his statement to test. I decided I'll count each time I "come back" from getting caught up in a sticky thought(-stream). I wont be counting just flashes of quick thoughts/images but only the ones where I get caught up.
This turned out to be interesting. In a 20 minute sitting, I found my counts were mostly near 20 and ranging between 18 to 23. I did one 30 minute sitting and the count was 36.
The other thing I noticed was that my concentration/awareness was very high throughout. I was getting caught up but was immediately coming back. It is interesting to note that I was getting caught up (and coming back) once per minute or so. So each minute, I was being aware initially (for about 10 sec or so), then getting caught up and then coming back. So about 40-50 seconds I was getting caught up. But surprisingly it didnt seem like so long when I was sitting. Each instance of getting caught up felt like 5-10 seconds and not 40-50 sec. It could have been that I was caught up in one long thought-stream which was for a few minutes with the rest of the thoughts being 10 seconds or so. To rule this out, I added interval bells every 5 min to my insight timer and found that the counts were pretty even during each 5 min interval.
I also tried it while walking outside bringing my attention back to just walking whenever I was lost and also making sure I count it. I found the same thing even then, I was very aware and coming back very quickly everytime I got lost. All the "caught up" instances were even (I could say basing on the distance I walked during that caught up time).
Did anyone try something like this? Can this be used as a practice? Is it like Shikantaza version of "breath counting"? Something that can only be used as training wheels? Or should it remain just an experiment and not useful as a practice
Love to hear your thoughts on this.

Secret to Eliminating ESD Damage? Read Your Datasheet
2 comments post a comment
Chuck Murray tells why electrostatic discharge can be a scourge if you don't read down to the fine print on your datasheet.
The scourge of electronic devices -- electrostatic discharge (ESD) -- can be virtually eliminated by designers doing one simple task: reading their datasheets.
Experts advise to read them slowly, carefully, and all the way down to the fine print. Don't overlook a single word, they say. The result could be the elimination of functional failure, shock, or even fire in an electronic device.
"Sometimes designers move too fast and assume they know what something means," Chad Marak, director of technical marketing for Littelfuse Inc., said in an interview. "But without reading all the way down to the fine print, they may find out that the information on that datasheet doesn't mean what they think it means."
Unfortunately, there's no way to quantify the relationship between careful scrutiny of a datasheet and flawless ESD performance. But it exists in devices ranging from televisions and smartphones to MP3 players and blood pressure pumps, Marak said. The trick is to know and understand the relevant specs, thus making the datasheet more understandable. Equally important, designers need to respect and understand the potential damage caused by the enormous voltages and currents that can strike an electronic device, if even for a few nanoseconds.
Marak told us:
Walking across a carpet in winter, when the humidity level is low, and picking up a piece of electronic equipment, you can easily inject 15,000 volts. It can be about 30 amps. Most people would consider that substantial, even though it lasts for only about 100 nanoseconds, which is much less than the blink of an eye.
Marak suggests the following for designers who are concerned about the effects of ESD:
Read the fine print. The ESD plot on the datasheet may not apply to your design, but you won't know that without careful scrutiny. Marak said:
Manufacturers will inject an ESD pulse into the device they're selling, and then show a plot of it on the datasheet. But if you don't read the fine print underneath that plot, you as a designer could be misled. That plot may not apply to your device.
Know your standards. There are two different standards for ESD design. One, the so-called Human Body Model, applies to manufacturing environments. The other, the International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 61000-4-2, applies to handheld devices, such as portable phones and computers. "You need to know, is the datasheet showing an IEC pulse or an HBM pulse?" Marak said. "It makes a big difference."
Is it applicable? Many protection device datasheets call out 2kV and 4kV pulses, even though the majority of product manufacturers use 8kV as a benchmark. "If I'm using 8kV, then I don't care what a 2kV plot looks like," Marak said.
Know how datasheet clamping voltages are measured. Make sure the clamping voltages referenced in the datasheet correspond to your design. "If they're stating a clamping voltage between pins one and two, then make sure you're connecting to the same pins in your circuit," Marak said.
Use the right layout. "Even if you've purchased the best circuit protection device in the world, it won't matter unless you use the proper printed circuit board layout," Marak said.
For designers, the bottom line is vigilance and experience. Experienced designers typically are better at understanding the subtleties of datasheets, but even the best can be fooled if they don't examine the sheets closely. Marak said:
Manufacturers use creative marketing to present their devices in the best light. So if you don't take the time to read the datasheets and understand the ESD characteristics, then you could mislead yourself into buying a device that's not going to give you the protection you expect.

Electric hub motor improves EV range: Part 1Technology basics
18 comments
Part 2 of this feature covers applications at higher, more practical speeds and manufacturability.
Most of the electric cars currently available are using brushless permanent magnet (PM) motors. These motors have very good characteristics, but their control circuitry consumes a lot of power, that may require liquid cooling. This wasted energy is taken from the energy stored in the battery, reducing the range of the car.
For hybrid vehicles using series power train technology (the combustion engine drives an electrical generator charging the battery), this waste of energy translates into a reduction of the miles covered per gallon of gas.
This series describes the concept of a brushless DC motor with an "electronic gearbox," requiring an almost lossless control circuitry. This translates into improved range, which is also increased by a nearly 100% regenerative braking energy recovery, as well as reduced manufacturing cost and better reliability.
The motor described here is designed to fit into the wheels of a 4WD car. The same concept can be used for implementations of a centralized electrical motor with mechanical transmission. Other implementations of the concept can be considered.
Motor and gearbox basics
The axle of the motor is fixed, with no transmission of any mechanical energy from the vehicle to the wheels (which allows for simplified shock absorbers and improvement of the energy transmission yield). The stator of the motor, "tied" to the axle, is made of printed circuits with copper electric wires. The rotor of the motor is made of magnets and is joined to the rim of the wheel, turning around the axle.
The described motor is made up of a dozen "stacks." Each stack is 5-mm thick, and is made of a disk of magnets, 3-mm thick, and a printed-circuit disk, 1.8-mm thick, with a 0.2-mm gap between the stator and rotor.
Below is a front view (top) and side view of the motor.
The magnet disks consist of 24 magnets, oriented as radial segments with a magnetization in the direction of the thickness of the disk. These segments occupy 50% of the area of the disk (non-adjacents) and are polarity alternated (N-S magnet, S-N magnet, N-S, S-N, etc). External diameter of the disk is 40 cm; internal diameter is 10 cm. Each magnet segment is 15 cm long.
A 1 Tesla (T) magnetic field can be generated in the air gap of this configuration (2-mm gap for 3 mm magnet thickness) using neodymium rare-earth materials.

Respiratory Problems, Age 11 and Younger
Topic Overview
Most babies and older children have several mild infections of the respiratory system each year.
Upper respiratory system
The upper respiratory system includes the nose, mouth, sinuses, and throat. A child with an upper respiratory infection may feel uncomfortable and sound very congested. Other symptoms of an upper respiratory infection include:
Lower respiratory system
The lower respiratory system includes the bronchial tubes and lungs. Respiratory problems are less common in the lower respiratory system than in the upper respiratory system.
Symptoms of a lower respiratory (bronchial tubes and lungs) problem usually are more severe than symptoms of an upper respiratory (mouth, nose, sinuses, and throat) problem. A child with a lower respiratory problem is more likely to require a visit to a doctor than a child with an upper respiratory problem.
Symptoms of lower respiratory system infections include:
Respiratory problems may have many causes.
Viral infections
Viral infections cause most upper respiratory infections. Sore throats, colds, croup, and influenza (flu) are common viral illnesses in babies and older children. These infections are usually mild and go away in 4 to 10 days, but they can sometimes be severe. For more information, see the topics Croup and Influenza (Seasonal Flu).
Home treatment can help relieve the child's symptoms. The infection usually improves on its own within a week and is gone within 14 days.
Antibiotics are not used to treat viral illnesses and do not alter the course of viral infections. Unnecessary use of an antibiotic exposes your child to the risks of an allergic reaction and antibiotic side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and yeast infections. Antibiotics also may kill beneficial bacteria and encourage the development of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Viral lower respiratory system infections may be mild, similar to upper respiratory system infections. An example of a possibly serious viral infection is bronchiolitis. Up to 10% of babies and children with viral infections of the lower respiratory system, such as those caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), may develop severe blockage of the air passages and require hospitalization for treatment. For more information, see the topics Acute Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection.
Bacterial infections
The most common sites for bacterial infections in the upper respiratory system are the sinuses and throat. A sinus infection is an example of an upper respiratory bacterial infection.
Bacterial pneumonia may follow a viral illness as a secondary infection or appear as the first sign of a lower respiratory infection. In babies and small children, the first sign of infection often is rapid breathing, irritability, decreased activity, and poor feeding. Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections.
Tuberculosis is a less common bacterial infection of the lower respiratory system.
Allergies are a common cause of respiratory problems. Allergy symptoms in children include:
Babies and small children usually do not have asthma. But the number of new cases of asthma increases with age.
Other causes
Besides asthma, allergies, and infection, other possible causes of respiratory problems in children include:
Babies and children younger than age 3 may have more symptoms with respiratory problems than older children, and they may become more ill. For this reason, younger children need to be watched more closely. The type and severity of the symptoms helps determine whether your child needs to see a doctor.
Check your child's symptoms to decide if and when your child should see a doctor.

Lysosomal storage disease is a group of disorders that affect specific enzymes in a specific location. These enzymes normally break down items for reuse in the cells. If the enzymes are missing or don't work properly, then the items can build up and become toxic. This happens in an area of the cell called lysosomes. The build up eventually leads to damage of cells and organs in the body.
There are over 40 different types of lysosomal diseases. The diseases are characterized by the specific enzymes involved. Examples include:
- Fabry Morquio disease—affects the kidney, heart, and skin
- Gaucher disease —affects the spleen and bones, and causes anemia
- Hurler syndrome—affects the spleen, liver, joints, and eyes; causes intellectual disability and deafness
- Maroteaux-Larny disease—affects the skin, bones, liver, and spleen
- Niemann-Pick disease —affects the spleen, liver, and lungs
- Pompe disease—affects the liver, heart, and muscle tissue
- Tay-Sachs disease —affects the brain
Lysosomal storage disease is caused by a genetic problem. The genes that plan the production of the enzymes is faulty. Both parents must pass the gene on to the child in order for the disease to develop.
Risk Factors
Lysosomal storage disease is more common in families with Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, or Dutch heritage. A family history increases the chance of the disease as well.
Symptoms can be severe and appear shortly after birth or mild and detected later in life. Symptoms will depend on the specific type of disease. Some common symptoms include:
- Recurrent infections or hernias
- Developmental delays
- Muscle problems
- Neurologic problems, including problems with hearing or sight
- Seizures
- Problems including nerve and bone pain
- Problems with the heart, liver, or kidney
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If your child has any of these symptoms, talk to the doctor right away.
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Skin and blood testing may be done to look for the specific enzyme that is causing the problem.

TORONTO — When you're dealing with death and grief, it's important to find comfort in friends and family since they can pull you out of isolation and help you through the grieving process.
That was one of the points made by the four speakers at a Nov. 15 panel at Beth Sholom Synagogue dealing with loss and personal tragedy.
Each panellist approached the topic, "The Many Facets of Personal Tragedy and Grief," from different angles.
Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich, from the hosting synagogue, opened the evening with a speech in which he described the feeling that comes with loss – a sense of believing that nothing will ever be the same.
"If we can step back and rearrange the words that frame this evening, I would say to you first, there is tragedy, then there is grief," he said. "Everyone's grief is different."
Paul Goldstein of Bereaved Jewish Families of Ontario (BFJO), which is run under the auspices of Jewish Family & Child, said attending grief sessions helped him face the death of his 20-year-old daughter, Shelley, who died in a car crash on her way to visit her sister at Camp Biluim in Mont-Tremblant, Que.
"In our grief, we cannot ever forget those around us who mean so much to us," he said. "Let friends know you value and need them. You never know who or what will comfort you."
Although she died almost 27 years ago, Goldstein said that, at times, the pain is still indescribable.
When he was first dealing with the death, he said he wanted to hide from the world and be alone with his emptiness and sadness. However, he learned he could run away from people, but not from his feelings.
Panellist MP Olivia Chow said although being with family and friends was immensely important when she was facing the death of her husband, former New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton, being in the public eye meant she also valued time alone.
"We had the state funeral, beautiful ceremonies, tributes," she said. "There are different forms of commemoration, and that part, it's comforting but it's also really difficult."
She tried to spend time alone, sometimes exercising, and often swimming. You can cry in the water and no one can tell, she said.
In addition to turning to friends and families, the speakers all agreed there were times when remembering their loved one was difficult, but helpful.
Rabbi Baruch Frydman-Kohl, of Beth Tzedec Congregation, said it can be difficult to get back to routine when you know the person isn't there anymore. Even sitting around a table can be a challenge, he said, since you notice the person's absence in an empty chair.
"Each of us can remember a particular place where we can see our father, mother, our child," he said. "And sometimes we don't want to touch it. But other times we want to sit in that chair. We want to lie down in that bed. We want to feel that person's presence."
The pews at Beth Sholom were mostly filled with seniors, many of whom were grieving. Throughout the speeches, some of them cried quietly, nodding as the speakers discussed their own experiences with death.
People nodded in agreement when Chow said she discovered that her grief comes and goes. "It could be an ordinary time and then boom, it comes, just like big waves."
Goldstein shared a similar experience. He said although the pain, at times, is still indescribable, he realized that death is not the end of a relationship.
"[My family] allows ourselves to remember and think often of Shelley. It brings sadness, but also the warmth of remembrance," he said. "Now when I think of my daughter, a smile comes to my face, and maybe tears."
Chow said she's not convinced that time will heal her sadness, although she added that she doesn't cry as often these days. The key, however, is to celebrate the deceased person to show that love conquers death, she said.
"How do we do that? By connecting with other people. By celebrating that person's legacy," she said.
She thought about Layton as she sculpted a bust of him as a memorial. She said while he was alive, he had asked her to make one, but she joked she didn't feel it was right to inflate his ego.
However, she found that sculpting it helped her connect with him in a private way, outside of her public life.
"Oh my God, was that ever hard," she said. "Was it therapeutic? Maybe. I don't know. It was very hard."
Rabbi Flanzraich stressed that everyone's grief is different, and unless you've faced such profound loss, you cannot understand the feeling, he said. For many, death can make it seem like nothing will ever be the same again, he added.
But "even though [life] might not be the same again," he said, "it doesn't mean life can't be both beautiful and meaningful."

Area students named to SPURS honor societyAugust 25, 2011
The school year only recently began but a group of Emporia State Students already is looking for service projects on campus and in the Emporia community. SPURS, which stands for Service, Patriotism, Understanding, Responsibility and Sacrifice, is a sophomore honor and leadership society at ESU.
ESU students inducted into SPURS are College Carr of Andover; Courtney Craun of Bartlesville, Okla.;Jessica Dhority of Reading; Alaina Fairbanks of Shawnee; Amy Feldkamp of Lenexa; Janelle Harvey of Cheney; Amanda Heiman of Topeka; Marisa Jarboe of Shawnee; So Mi Kim of Emporia; Kyla Kuss of Rose Hill; Danielle Lott of Leavenworth; Rachel Marshall of Kansas City, Kan.; Dylan Meeker of Merriam; Erin Ritter of Shawnee; Ashley Rodgers of Lee's Summit, Mo.; Hannah Rosenwald of Overland Parkk; Nikki Sanders of Overland Park; Khaili Scarbrough of Topeka; and Shane Touslee of Great Bend.

1 Pilates Santa Fe
839 Paseo de Peralta
Did you know there's an East Coast and a West Coast Pilates, and that members of the opposing groups often meet for rumbles in the Southside? OK, that last bit isn't true, but there are a wide variety of Pilates styles, including different ones for each coast. Part of Pilates Santa Fe's skill lies in its serene navigation of these opposing camps. "Our palette is huge," Raymond Kurshals, founder and director of Pilates Santa Fe, says.
However, Pilates Santa Fe is more than a smorgasbord of high-level Pilates teachers (Kurshals is recognized internationally for his skill and has studied under many of the original students of Joseph Pilates himself). No, the special sparkle of Pilates Santa Fe lies with an attitude: "As we learn to control our physical body, we can do the same with our psycho-spiritual side," Kurshals says. It's this focus on a higher order that makes Pilates Santa Fe relaxed, pleasant, motivating and successful. Especially now, Kurshals says: "In this economy, people need to get a sense of joy and hope physically back into them."
The best way to do that may be to stretch and curl and spring and bounce under a watchful eye. (Caroline K Gorman)

NWCF: Success for Sussex Clubs across NatWest CricketForce 201204-Apr-2012
Another successful NatWest CricketForce season came to its conclusion over the weekend in a season that saw a record 65 clubs take part across all parts of Sussex. The County had two showcase clubs, firstly St. James Montefiore CC during the designated Pros and Staff visit weekend of March 17th and 18th , and secondly Chippingdale CC of Worthing during the official NWCF weekend on March 31st and April 1st.
On March 17th, SCCC Professionals and Staff visited six clubs, all of whom made valiant efforts to defy the elements. West Wittering CC, Roffey CC, Barcombe CC, Three Bridges CC, Madehurst CC and of course St. James Montefiore CC all delivered projects that made a tangible difference to their club, whether it be in the improvement of facilities or in engaging their local communities. As well making numerous facility improvements, St. James used the event to open their pavilion extension, with Sussex Chairman Jim May and Professional Cricket Manager Mark Robinson on hand to cut the ribbon. Click HERE to view video footage for some of the highlights of St. James Montefiore CC event.
On Saturday 31st, the Cricket Force focus shifted to Chippingdale CC at the Rotary Ground, Worthing. The clubs First XI captain, Pete Mansell, amongst others, had spent the whole of the preceding week creating three changing rooms from what was previously one open planned layout. In true Cricket Force fashion, they used the Build Centre offer to help with materials for the development. The club also held the opening ceremony for their net outdoor net bay, a four-year project of planning and fund-raising delivered admirably under the leadership of Chairman Paul Baker and his Committee.
Photos below show John Barclay and Clare Connor OBE cutting the ribbon. The club, through the skill and tenacity of Committee member Paul Wood, has engaged an incredible 16 club sponsors, a remarkable effort showing what can be done. They also did a blog on the week preceding NWCF - http://worthingchippingdale.play-cricket.com/content/view.asp?id=10365235&cid=200
2013 will no doubt bring more exciting projects as clubs are really starting to see the opportunities this event provides, both in terms of in-kind support from local businesses and in galvanizing the local community.

Rodman Public Library offers children the chance to try their reading skills on local therapy dogs on the third Saturday of the month from 2:00-4:00 p.m. These specially trained dogs will "listen" to stories in the Children's Program Room at the Main Library.
All dogs that will be in attendance are members of Therapy Dogs International and the "Paws and Reflect" Pet Therapy group of Alliance Community Hospital. Studies have shown that children can become better readers when they regularly read aloud to dogs. An animal reading companion provides a relaxing, stress-free and non-judgmental "listening partner" for a beginning or struggling reader.
Fifteen minute time slots are available. Patrons may sign up in advance for a preferred time slot. For more information, call the Children's Department at 330-821-2665, ext. 223.

ACCOUNTS: Sussex Cricket Reports Financial Progress27-Feb-2013
Sussex CCC has today posted their financial results, along with the notice of their Annual General Meeting to their Membership. The key numbers for the year to 31st October 2012 are:
• Operating Income unchanged at £5.2m (2011: £5.2m)
• Operating Surplus improved on prior year (after interest, before depreciation) at £227,775 (2011: £12,026)
• Accounting deficit for the year £325,375 (2011: £123,718)
Speaking today, Simon Crundwell, Sussex CCC Treasurer, said "Whilst a £227k operating surplus is a credible outcome, it was boosted by the one off receipt of £133k in respect of the settlement of a legal claim. Alongside continuing challenging economic conditions, the unseasonal weather in 2012 contributed in part to our match income being 22% down on prior year. However, alongside the legal claim, income from our home Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-final and home Friends Life t20 quarter final was vital. Encouragingly, our non-match day revenue continues to grow, 28% ahead on the prior year, which is an important cornerstone of our medium term business plan.
"The deficit of £325k recorded is after charging increased depreciation of £553k, reflecting the completion of our ground redevelopment. Importantly however, the Club remains cash positive at an operating level with £95k generated from continuing operations after interest and before non-repeat income and depreciation."
Jim May, Sussex CCC Chairman said "The county club business model is marginal and without our success in one day competitions, Sussex would have made an operating loss. However, it is pleasing that, whilst the playing side remains strong, we are making progress year on year on the business front.
"Sussex is a stable club with no borrowings and cash reserves of around £1m. Having invested nearly £10m in our wonderful ground at Hove in recent years, a major focus for our new Chief Executive, Zac Toumazi, is to increase attendances both at cricket and other events."

SQUAD: Sussex head to Worcester for latest LV=CC clash15-May-2012
Sussex CCC are back on the road in the LV=County Championship Division One this week as they head to New Road to take on Worcestershire, in a match that begins tomorrow (11.00am start).
Their last outing in the LV=CC resulted in a draw with Lancashire after the first three days were washed out, but Sussex did manage to grab vital bonus points and ended the match with eight points from only one day's play.
They lie thirteen points clear of both Lancashire and this week's opponents Worcestershire in the Division One table. Sussex claimed a comfortable 251 run victory on their last visit to New Road at the end of last season and will be hoping for a repeat this week.
There is one change from last week's squad, with Ben Brown replacing Matt Prior behind the stumps as he joins the England squad ahead of the first Test.
The Sussex squad is as follows:
Amjad Khan
JE Anyon
BC Brown (wkt)
JS Gatting
MW Goodwin
Naveed Arif Gondal
EC Joyce
SJ Magoffin
CD Nash
MS Panesar
LWP Wells
MH Yardy (capt)
BBC Sussex will be providing ball-by-ball commentary of the match and to access the feed, please click HERE

It's crawfish season (or crawdad, as we used to say in Texas when I was growing up), and nothing beats having a group of people over for a big boil. Usually, these gatherings are held outside since the cleaning, boiling and eating of the crustaceans can get messy. But what if you don't have an outdoor space? Here are 10 things I learned this weekend when I held my first-ever crawfish boil inside my tiny New York City apartment.
1. These guys are feisty and love to pinch. Either wear thick gloves or stock up on bandages.
2. A broadsheet newspaper, such as The New York Times, makes a better table cover than a tabloid newspaper, such as The New York Post. The latter, however, has far wittier headlines.
3. Accordions are optional. If you don't have any Zydeco bands on your IPod, don't fret. Anything that gets your feet tapping and your hips shaking will be fine.
4. Finding Zatarain's or Tex-Joy crawfish boil spice mix on the East Coast is impossible. Old Bay will suffice as long as you supplement it with tons of cayenne. Or better yet, make your own spice mix.
5. If you don't have a supply of local, live crawfish, order them from Louisiana purveyors such as Cajun Grocer or Louisiana Crawfish. Not only do they taste better but it helps the Louisiana economy.
6. Don't gaze at their cute little bug eyes for too long or you might start feeling bad about what you're about to do the creatures: boil them and eat them.
7. If you're cooking in a small apartment without any outdoor space, be sure and open a window (or two) when purging (a.k.a. cleaning) the crawfish. All that mud and swamp gunk gets stinky.
8. When your live crawfish arrive at the office, resist the pleadings of your colleagues to open the cooler and pull out a couple for races. This can only lead to trouble, especially if they're fast and like to hide (the crawfish, not your colleagues).
9. If the tail on a cooked crawfish isn't curved, do not eat it. A straight tale means that the crawfish was dead before it was boiled, and it's going to be mushy and taste rotten. It's best to try and pick out most of the dead ones before you do your boil, but be careful as the live ones can get restless as you're picking through the batch (see tip No. 1).
10. These crustaceans are known by many names—crawdads, crayfish, crawfish, swamp lobsters or mud bugs—but no matter what they're called, they taste just as delicious. (Though our Louisiana friends may give you the stink-eye if you refer to them as anything but crawfish.)
What are some of your tips for boiling crawfish?
Boiled Crawfish
20 pounds of live crawfish
1 stick of butter (113 grams)
6 lemons cut in half
1/2 cup of mustard seeds
1/4 cup of cloves
1/4 cup of allspice
1/4 cup of coriander seeds
Cayenne to taste (I start with 1/4 cup
Salt to taste (I start with 1/2 cup)
10 bay leaves
1 stalk of celery
10 red potatoes
10 ears of corn cut in half
1 pound of andouille sausage, cut into one-inch pieces
2 onions, cut in half
12 cloves of garlic, peeled (one head)
A tall 12-quart pot with a boil basket
1. Throw everything but the crawfish into your tall pot and fill it with water two-thirds up the sides. Turn heat on high. When the water gets warm (but before it's boiling), taste the water and make any spice adjustments, such as adding more salt or cayenne.
2. While the water is heating, it's time to purge your crawfish if they haven't been purged yet. (Purging is getting rid of all the mud and other swamp gunk). To do this in an apartment, put a stopper in your kitchen sink, unload the crawfish into the sink and fill it with water. Let them soak for two minutes and then drain the sink. The water will be brown and kind of funky, but after you repeat this action two more times the water should be more or less clear.
3. Once the pot is boiling, throw in the crawfish and boil for 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. (You can do this in batches, just add more water and spices as necessary. The corn and potatoes can come out of the pot after the first batch is boiled.)
4. Place bowl of crawfish on table covered with newspaper or butcher paper, snap, peel and enjoy.

Great post! I've eaten these in New Orleans and loved them, but haven't cooked my own. People who haven't had them would probably be amazed at how delicious they are.
- Annie K. Nodes said...
Tip: Don't let a child name the crawdad. She will consider it a pet and then develop an aversion to these delectable delights that lasts until college, when after 3 beer bongs and a dare, she will finally try one and realized what she was missing all that time.
Love this post. You make me want to fly down to Mobile and join my cousins for a crawdad dinner. (We use the Texan pronunciation.)
- Tommy said...
I have had the pleasure of eating crayfish while in New Orleans a few times. Sadly, I don't think you can import live crayfish into Canada due to govt regulations and paranoia, so having a "homeboil" is not an option for Canadians.
The only live crayfish I see here are used for bait while bass fishing and they are extremely expensive.
- Debra said...
Pour a beer or two into the pot along with the water (Dixie beer, if available). Pour another beer or two into the cook. :)
- Gena said...
I love the crawdaddies. We had a boil in college, and caught the suckers the day before at a pond just outside of Abilene. They lived (alive) in the bathtub overnight with some water. None escaped, but the eerie scratching noises coming from the bathroom was a little disturbing!
- matt said...
"6. Don't gaze at their cute little bug eyes for too long or you might start feeling bad about what you're about to do the creatures: boil them and eat them."
Amen to that one, for sure!
Sigh. I wish I could have joined you and our crawdads could have had a playdate. Before the deed, you know.
- Mike said...
Ohhhh mama that looks grand !
Reminds me of the first time I saw Emeril on tv....it was actually a Julia Child series with "guest chefs"....what I recall most of all was the way this guy held his head over the pot, all pots, any pot. As if he was staring down a manhole...I found that so unusual.
- Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) said...
You are brave indeed! I've cooked crawfish tails (the ones you can buy frozen from Louisiana online sources), but never attempted to fight the live ones.
- CB said...
Oh, man. My husband and I have been talking about trying to find some crawfish out here (we're Gulf Coast Texans transplanted to Lubbock) This just makes me want to get some even more. I keep trying to convince my brother to take a road trip and bring us a cooler full, but he hasn't agreed to yet.
Thanks for makin' my mouth water.
- robin (caviar and codfish) said...
Thank you for the links to the purveyors! I'm just returning from a vacation in NC where I had crawfish and I FELL IN LOVE with them! I was so upset coming home and thinking I wouldn't have them anymore!!
Also, your pictures are fantastic. Great post.
- Tea said...
Ooooh, how fun!
When I was a kid we tried to go fishing for crawdads but never got any. Do crawdads even live in California? I fear the big kids in the neighborhood led us woefully astray.
- andie said...
yum!!! you can order Zatarain's from their website!
- Rachael said...
Oh my you are so cute.
I like to pour a bottle of pickled jalapenos into the boil, but that may be heresy outside of Florida.
- Leslie said...
Tip: Use Zatarans Crab Boil in Liquid AND Powder form for more pop. Also, buy the giant container, especially if cooked in batches, because you need to season the boiling water between batches.
- KimberlyDi said...
I'm supposed to have my first crawfish boil on April 13th. Now, I'm looking forward to it.
- Frank said...
Yeah you right, che! Put a little Boozoo on, and suck de' heads and pinch 'dem tails! That's what I call passin' a good time yeah you right.
- Homesick Texan said...
Kalyn--Anyone that likes shrimp or lobster is sure to love crawfish.
Annie K. Nodes--I'll keep that in mind--it's hard enough doing the deed since they're kind of cute. And next time I have a boil, you and your guys should come over!
Tommy--Do you have any friends in Buffalo? You could have a boil there.
Debra--Beer! That's a given!
Gena--That scratching sound is disturbing. I could hear them in the cooler and it sort of freaked me out a bit.
Matt--Sigh indeed! I wish you could have joined us as well. Maybe next time!
Mike--I read somewhere that Julia Child adored him and that's how his TV career got started. I've never seen that particular episode before. He does love the crawfish.
Lydia--Fighting the live ones is a must as it makes you appreciate the pre-cooked tails all the more.
CB--If you can't find them locally, you can always order them. Good luck!
Robin--Thanks! And hope you get some, they're a real treat.
Tea--I think they live in the mountains in California, but those big kids could have been pulling your leg, since big kids like to do that to unsuspecting little kids and all.
Andie--Good to know--thanks!
Rachael--A jar of pickled jalapenos doesn't sound like heresy to me--I'll have to try that next time!
Leslie--The more spices the merrier!
KimberlyDi--You're going to have a blast! Enjoy!
Frank--Laissez les bons temps rouler, cher!

Someone has probably already said this, but I was taught that you are supposed to let one of the crawfish (we called them crawdads, too--played with them actually when we were kids) go free. Always thought it was a fun tradition but no idea where to do it in the city--certainly not my apartment!
- Brave Sir Robin said...
I cannot imagine doing this indoors!!
You are a brave, brave woman!!
I second the beer in the broth, beer in the cook method.
And make very sure your guests suck the head!!
And yes, that episode with Julia and a very young and very thin Emeril was classic.
- Julie said...
This is a great party idea!
Of course, if anyone I worked with received a shipment of crawfish, I'd be one of those people trying to get the crawfish race going.
- Janna said...
Props to you for taking this on "tiny New York Apartment" style!
We recently moved back to Texas after living in Nor. Cali for 2 years. Some friends of ours there hosted and boil and it was like being home again (but she couldn't find zataran's either).
- jaelin said...
I can't believe you had a crawfish boil in New York! I couldn't even imagine what a mess that was. I had one in Texas and even then, I thought the house wasn't big enough.
I too am a recent transplant from Texas to Manhattan and I really enjoy your blog. =) Btw, have you found any good Tex Mex and/or Mexican restaurants in New York? I've been dying for some!
- AT said...
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you did this in your New York apartment!
My Aunt took me out for crawfish recently, my first since I'd moved home. I actually had to be reminded how to eat them. Isn't that sad??
- Anonymous said...
WOW, what fun a crawfish boil is! I'm not sure, but I didn't read anything about putting the salt on them in the fresh water to make them 'poo', if you will, before placing them in boiling water. Gets all the nasties out of them for eating. If you live near a creek/tank/pond, you can catch these little crawlers seven days before and after a full moon, after dark, while they're on the banks. I too, am originally from Abilene, Texas, living in the wilds of MN, yes, scare me too.
Thanks for this reminder of spring and outdoor cooking, it's long overdue for here.
- Olivia said...
Hehe, we once had a crawfish, crab and shrimp boil with our neighbours in Houston. I couldn't peel myself away from the prawns, but I do love crawfish tails in a quesadilla with lots of salsa, cheese, and cilantro.
Here in London you can buy crawfish (crayfish) tails peeled and refrigerated in small plastic tubs. No fun. THe closest thing is langoustines, but I found them more like big very soggy shrimps, lacking the chewiness of crawdads.
I can't believe you can't find Zatarain's, I thought it was ubiquitous across the US but I guess I thought that about everything you find in Texas!
- talida said...
Crawfish boil here in NY? I'm so jealous.
I had my wedding in Houston the first week in March, and it being crawfish season was one of the reasons for setting our date. :)
- Rajun Cajun said...
Anonymous is correct - if you salt the crawfish before you purge them (while still in eh ice chest) it kinda sanatizes them, but also they are purged of any poop inside of them and are much cleaner. I have been to a boil in Texas, the hosts were not aware of purging, needless to say - they were the dirtiest crawfish I have ever eaten.
Crawdads...it's like nails down a chalkboard = )
- Melissa said...
Holy cow, like everyone else, I'm gobsmacked!
It's been almost ten years since I've had a crawfish boil. No, I mean since I've been to a crawfish boil - I've never even thought of doing it myself, but stink and mess aside, it sounds like a blast!
Hmm, I wonder if they'll ship live crawfish to Scotland? ;)
- Homesick Texan said...
Dee--Oh, no! I didn't know that (and that's probably why that last one was so hard to catch and get into the pot!)
Brave Sir Robin--Mike sent me a link to the episode, and he was so young and thin, not to mention slightly serious--no hint of the "Bam" personality. I much prefer that Emeril to the one he is today.
Julie--Well, it is a way to liven up a Friday afternoon!
Janna--I know, boils were such a regular thing growing up, I'm always surprised that people have never been to one.
Jaelin--Welcome to NY! And that's the million-dollar question, where to get good Tex-Mex/Mexican in NY. I've found a few places for Mex-Mex, such as Real Azteca in the Bronx and Taqueria Coatzingo and El Sol de Azteca in Jackson Heights, Queens. And then in the warm months there are the Mexican food stands (think tacos, gorditas, sopes, huraches, etc) at the Red Hook Ball Fields, and various taco stands throughout the five boroughs. But, there's nothing here that feels like the Tex-Mex experience you can get at home.
AT--It was crazy, but a total blast. And that is sad, you weren't in NY that long--how could you forget!
Chris--I know people that do add salt, but I've never done it. I rinse them several times or until the water comes clean and they taste good to me. I'll try it with salt, however, the next time and see if they taste even better.
Olivia--I'm a big fan of shrimp boils, too. We used to get those huge Gulf shrimp and throw them into the pot, heads and all. And the stores here sell Zatarain's rice mixes, but I can't find the boil spices.
Talida--I love it! And yes, this is the best time of year to go to Texas.
Rajun Cajun--Yeah, that's what my Cajun friends say as well when I say crawdad!
Melissa--Can you imagine customs checking the shipment? That would be worth the price alone!
Rajun Cajun--
- Scribbit said...
I've always wanted to go to a crawfish boil, never even tasted them. My brother and sister live on the east coast and did a crab boil one time and it just sounded fabulous.
- Yvo said...
Gahhh, I haven't had crawfish whole since I went to NO ummm almost 5 years ago now. And before that the only time I had them was at... *small voice* Olive Garden, they had this crawfish alfredo dish that I LOOOOOOOVEd... sigh. Yours look delish!
- kprn said...
My ex here in California had me going when he said he was taking me "crawdad'n" on the American River (Sacramento)- I was sure it would be something like snipe hunting:-) I couldn't believe it when we started pulling nets FULL of them out of the water. And the bait? OMG- he punched a few holes in the top of cans of Mighty Dog dog food and threw them in the nets! They loved the stuff! We had so many we had to used a kiddie pool to keep them overnight. Too fun!
- Jerry said...
Love! Great read as usual! Now I want crawfish!
- Jennessa said...
I went to my first official Crawfish boil last year in Galveston... tons of good eating (and drinking) there!
I know my friends are having another one down there in July.. too bad I'll be back down there in June.
Yay for Texans in yankeedom!
- Sarah G. said...
I'm right here in north central Louisiana, in the heart of crawfish country, and it's the height of the season right now. Crawfish boils on every corner. I can't eat shellfish, but my husband says they're better (sweeter and more tender) than lobster.
Crawfish may be the only benefit to living in Louisiana. Tony Chachere's is better than Zatarains, though, but I bet that is a really local product.
Remoulade is good with crawfish. Mix some ketchup or cocktail sauce, a little ranch dressing, some Tony's (or Zatarain's), and a squeeze from a lemon. And it's a huge debate between north/south Louisiana (the really strange folks live down south) whether you should suck the heads or not.
Regardless, it's heresy to consume crawfish without cold beer.
- Lore said...
Tip no.6 arrived TOO LATE for me :(. Great post though as always! Open space and a chef is what would work for me :D
- RecipeGirl said...
I've never, ever had crawfish!! But should I find myself somewhere where they do it up good, I'm all over it!
- Mattexian said...
You can order Tex-Joy online too. Maybe I'm a little spoiled on them, as I live just a few blocks from their home office/coffee roaster. It always smells like they're making Dark Roast in the morning!
- wymommad said...
Man, I know what you mean about finding spices and seasonings! I am from Houston and moved to Wyoming 5 years ago and frequently have my in-laws send spices and seasoning to me...along with those great Texas pecans!
- orsiko said...
That's really a nice alternative to the way I am usually eating the crawfish in Moscow, Russia.
It's a delicatessen here in Russia and usually they are boiling it in a mix of water and beer and other spices that I do not know how to translate. I'll definitely suggest to try your recipe.
- Anonymous said...
Try adding whole or halved artichokes and white button mushrooms for other veggies.
And you don't need to peel the garlic. If you throw in a couple of heads chopped in half, you can squeeze out the cloves and eat them like you would roasted garlic.
- Garrett said...
Next time I visit New York to see family, I'm visiting you. All your posts are always so tasty! ;)
- Amber said...
You inspired me! I thought a propane tank and huge boiling vessel were required for a crawfish boil. After reading this post, I had a crawfish boil last Saturday using my biggest pot, and did it in three batches. It turned out great. So much fun! I second the idea of adding whole mushrooms.
- Texann said...
I am very impressed that you had a boil in your apartment! Love your adventurous spirit, as always.
Crawfish season is in full boil here in Houston. Mmmmmmm I can almost smell it!
Next time add any/all of these to the boil at the very end (fresh is best, of course, but frozen would work too): Asparagus spears, frozen artichoke hearts (canned might work, but I haven't tried them), fresh green beans. They just take a minute and the veggies flavored with the crab boil, simply divine!
Beautiful pictures too!
- Cynthia said...
8. When your live crawfish arrive at the office, resist the pleadings of your colleagues to open the cooler and pull out a couple for races. This can only lead to trouble, especially if they're fast and like to hide (the crawfish, not your colleagues). - this is the tip that had me in laughter :D
- Homesick Texan said...
Scribbit--If you love fresh shell fish, then you'll enjoy crawfish. And the camaraderie of the boil is half the fun!
Yvo--There's no shame in loving crawfish alfredo. And can you keep a secret? In college I worked at the Olive Garden and adored their alfredo sauce. So there!
KPRN--A kiddie pool is a perfect place to store your crawfish. And how fun you caught them yourselves!
Jerry--Yep, it's the season!
Jennessa--That's too bad you'll miss the on in Galveston, but there's no reason you can't have one on the East Coast.
Sarah G.--I love also love remoulade with my shell fish. And I adore Tony Chachere, but you're right, we definitely can't find that here.
Lore--A chef is good, then you can just sit back and peel away!
RecipeGirl--Yep, if you like lobster or shrimp, you'll like crawfish.
Mattexian--Good to know, thanks!
Wymommad--Oh yes, there's nothing like a Texas care package!
Orsiko--I had no idea that crawfish were so popular in Russia!
Anon--I did not know that you didn't have to peel the garlic. Well that certainly makes things easier!
Garrett--Come on over! But you're making dessert.
Amber--Yay! I'm glad your crawfish boil was fun!
Texann--Asparagus would be delicious--ours haven't arrived yet but they are supposed to be at the markets by next week.
Cynthia--Hey, I'm glad I made you laugh!
- Allen said...
I can hardly believe a crawfish boil in an apartment. Not just the mess, but you miss the drama of a few of them crawling over the ice chests and trying to escape into the wild. Though, the cat vs crawfish encounters could be more entertaining...
As a homebrewer, I have a stainless steel 18 gallon pot and a 185,000 btu cooker. Here in Dallas, I like to buy from the Cajun Crawfish Company. For a little extra, you can get them to give you the largest 'dads they can find, the kind it's worthwhile cracking open the claws for the claw meat.
- Katie said...
I love this blog! I am also a transplant from The Lone Star state and reading your blog is a big, fat reminder of home. I was wondering where you got your live crawfish in NYC. I'm looking to have a crawfish/shrimp boil on my roof soon and I'd love to know where you found your "bugs". Thanks so much and keep up the good work!
- Homesick Texan said...
Allen--I know! It felt weird doing it inside, but you do what you can when you live in the big city!
Katie--Mine came from CajunGrocer (cajungrocer.com), which ships them alive via FedEx. I don't think you can find them alive here in the city (especially those from LA) but you might find Asian ones in Chinatown.
- KimberlyDi said...
If you cook your crawfish in 2 batches, keep an eye on the cooler. If you are trying this outside, the wind might blow the cooler over, and then you have to hunt the crawfish down as they try to escape across your front yard... Happened last Sunday. Windy day. Excellent crawfish boil.
- Elise ~*~ said...
I haven't a clue where that butter idea came from; if I put butter into crawfish boil I'd be run out of Louisiana! But that is very impressive to take it on in NYC!!!
- Alexis said...
Ooohhh...damn! I had a boil for my 30th birthday last year when I was living in Oregon (I'm now in NY along with you). Here're a few tidbits I came up with:
1) Definitely make your own boil mix. It's so easy, and I was blown away by how awesome those guys tasted.
2) When you're cleaning 'em, just get a big ass stick to stir 'em around with inside a pot or something. Then you don't really even need to deal with the gloves, 'cause you'll never be close enough for them to pinch you!
3) A lot of recipes I found online suggested that if you have to make multiple pots, the latter ones are better 'cause the stock's had a chance to strengthen. They advise against topping off the water in the pot for this reason. I say - top off that water! I was just a might nonplussed to take the lid off my 2nd batch 5 minutes in and discover the suckers on top were still alive! Goddamn, I hope never to repeat that experience.
4) If you're boiling for non-Texans, you really only need 2 lbs of crawfish per person. Non-Texans are wieners that way. For Texans, use 4-5 lbs per person.
5) When you have leftovers to freeze (because non-Texans never eat enough, goddamn them), peel them before you even leave the boil site. It's a pain at the time, but in the long run it's so fabulously easy to just pluck the meat out of the freezer and fry it up for a crawfish tail salad or sautee it in a little roux for an etouffee. Peeling them frozen sucks.
That's all I can think of now. I've been toying with the idea of doing one here in NY, but I've got too many friends to pull it off in my apt, and I'm not sure the neighbors would take too kindly to me sticking some big-ass propane contraption out on the front sidewalk!
- czken said...
The most important lesson I've learned about crawdad boils was posted prominently on the outside of the door on the men's room in a hole-in-the-wall coon-ass cafe just outside of Houston. It read, "CAUTION, wash you hands BEFORE using the toilet!"

Alexis -- For Louisianians, plan on 7-10 pounds per person!
As far as cooking tips -- this is totally sexist, but I like it. I ice down the beer, let the boys cook and then eat all the deliciousness.
I second the addition of any and all veggies. And lots of cold beer.
The best thing about living in Louisiana -- even though a full boil takes all day, there are plenty of restaurants where you can go in and walk out minutes later with crawfish-to-go. It's like chinese food, only better (and no delivery, usually).
One more note, Emeril learned his skills as the head chef at Commander's Palace, an amazing restaurant in New Orleans' Garden District. I recommend lunch -- all the flavor for a lot less price and 25 cent martinis.
- el Jefe said...
I am a Texpat as well! Working in Manhattan, living in Jersey. Just bought a house so I cant wait to have a boil now that I have a back yard. Not sure if you knew about this one but it seem that NJ has a Crawfish festival with shuttle service from Manhattan! www.crawfishfest.com its on May 30th and June 1st this year.
I do use the salt in the water to purge the boys before they boil. A recent addition to the boil has been to slice up some sausage in large chuncks and throw that in too. Fantastic.
- The Pearl Onion said...
Broiled crawfish are seriously one of my all time favorite meals! That's so cool that you hosted a broil here in NYC. And I actually have found Zatarain's crawfish seasoning here but unfortunately I can't recall where it was (some grocery store). When I saw it I immediately bought it in hopes of doing a broil, but after it sitting on my shelf for a few years I finally threw it out. My apartment is so tiny that I just don't think it's so realistic.
Anyway, I love your blog--just discovered it today--and I am looking forward to more postings that remind me of home (I grew up in Alabama and spent lots of time in New Orleans as well)!
- ironymike said...
yes and yes on crawfish boils in ny.
i've been dreaming of doing this in my friends backyard in Brooklyn since the winter. awesome post.much inspiration! i'm on a mission.
- Jennifer said...
Kalustyan's, a gourmet food shop in NYC, carries Zatarain's Crab, Shrimp and Crawfish Boil-in-a-Bag. Just scroll down the page from the link below until you find it.
- Anonymous said...
Shrimp boils are just as good in the "off" Season....we do two cookers and make sure there is enough to make etoufee when we are finished pigging.
We pick up 40 lbs or so from the boats in Port A and freeze them in large containers filled with water. The shrimp lasted a year that way, finished off the last batch from last year on Father's day. Shrimp, snow crab was on sale at HEB, fresh corn on the cob, V&V sausage,mushrooms, fresh Texas new potatoes and 1015 onions out of the garden. I always add a handful of dried jap peppers to the boil and a good shake of cayenne to really kick things up!
- Karen said...
Sure do miss the crawfish boils, just dumping all the food on the table and tucking in. We were recently in Denmark, Australia and they have some really interesting crayfish, they call them marrons. They're more the size of small to medium lobster and oh so tasty....Oh how I miss crawfish...
- Anonymous said...

trust me the really strange people live in north LA. The ONLY authorities on crawfish are south louisianians!
Also... I am with Rajun Cajun ...crawdad= nails on chalkboard.

Poor crawfish. It isn't their fault their too tasty eh?
- Amanda said...
I've found live crawfish in DC at at the Maine Avenue Fish Market, as well as some of the sorriest looking barely-living crawfish in a Korean grocery in the Argyle neighborhood of Chicago.
I've boiled crawfish in my DC apartment. Since my ice chest barely holds 12 beers and I don't own a hose, I purged them in the bathtub. Dump them in; hose them down with the showerhead; wash out the dirt ring later. And they've got lots of room to move around but they can't climb out the sides of the tub, but it's fun to watch them try. We Louisiana expats are resourceful.
Also, Zatarain's crab/crawfish/whatever good boil is sold at at least one wine store and one Mediterranean grocery out here.
- Anonymous said...
I would put all the spices in a cloth bag.
- Jay Lacson said...
Lesson #9 is not entirely true. Tails won't curl for a few reasons, like being stuck on another crawfish or other ingredient in the boil. If you want to be cautious, sure you can throw them out....but, it's not the only reason they don't curl.
