William Katz: Urgent Agenda
DOLDRUMS – AT 10:18 A.M. ET: Despite heroic struggles by the mainstream media to portray our economy as making a comeback, the comeback always seems to be reversed in short order. We've been told, for example, that the employment picture is improving. Well, it really isn't. From Bloomberg:
COMMENT: If claims reach 400,000 again, we'll be in serious trouble. That is considered a major danger point. Also, the story mentioned it, gasoline prices are rising once more, and normally rise again as summer begins. That always has a dampening effect on the economy.
One of my great fears is that we will enter a long-term recession, and get used to it. It's happened in Japan. It happens regularly in Europe. Some may feel that this will produce electoral change, and that Americans will look to the Republicans for salvation. No, that probably won't happen. When times are tough people often turn to the government for help, even though it doesn't help the long-term economic prospects of the country.

It took some experimenting and some practice but I have now mastered the art of homemade latte making and I can happily have my baseline 3-4 per week without the big dent in the bank account. Starbucks, you know I love you but I just can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars a year on your coffee...Mike already supports you far beyond that number but with the amount he works, I can't blame him.
I don't have a fancy espresso machine...again, wish I could but can't afford to drop big bucks on coffee when there are diapers, dog food and organics to buy instead! I just have a basic model combination coffee maker / espresso machine. It obviously doesn't compare to some of the amazing options out there but with practice I realized it's plenty good enough. I believe the expression is "Gets the job done." So for me the key to a good homemade latte is not the machine but rather the bean.
I tried a few different brands but my favorite espresso is by illy. Their product seems to stay fresh for the duration of the time the can is in use and the taste lacks the bitterness and burntness (not a word but coffee drinkers know what I mean) that many other brands have. It's not cheap but it's much more affordable than buying the lattes prepared for you. I like to keep both regular and decaf ground espresso in the house so I can have whatever caffeine level I need - full strength, half-caff or decaf (it's rare that I have decaf but at least it's is an option).
Why do I have lattes and not just plain coffee? I like the sweetness that milk adds plus it ensures I get a good dose of calcium and vitamin D each time I order (or make) one. Are you concerned about your coffee habit? Take SELF's quiz to find out how healthy (or not!) your caffeine habit is.
Maybe someday I'll buy a nice machine with the money I am saving by making lattes at home these days. That will be my motivation to keep on brewing on my own!

Here's a quick (vroom!) guide about the pros and cons of renting a car in Bruges, Belgium.
Car Rentals in Bruges
Why rent a car in Bruges?
We don't recommend renting a car in Bruges if you plan to remain in the city center during your stay.
If you do require a car, just be wary of parking charges in garages in the city center, which typically start at €12 a day and can get much higher. The cheapest car park is available at the train station, where a free shuttle service will transport you to the city center.
However, for day trips to Brussels or Ghent, a rental car is the way to go.
How do you rent a car in Bruges?
To find the cheapest rental car prices, we recommend Auto Europe. EuroCheapo has partnered with Auto Europe to offer the guaranteed cheapest prices on rental cars in Bruges and Belgium. (Read more about cheap rental cars in Europe.)
Some rental car packages include unlimited kilometers while others don't. Some have insurance against theft or collision; again, others don't. Be sure to ask. Generally, be sure to get the details regarding insurance and accidents, as plans vary. Sometimes paying cash makes a difference in insurance coverage. An International Driver's License is recommended. For more information, visit the IDL (International Driver's License) web site.

It is one of the sexyist songs I've ever heard.
Death, sex, love, politics, religion, the environment... they're all in there, and more, covered with Newman's typically skewed but skewering insight.
So whether you're a newcomer, a longtime fan, or just somebody looking for a bit of good music, you can't go wrong.
Early 1970's bohemians and introsective poets played "Sail Away" on their turntables for me. Sail Away is the one that finally put Randy on the map. Read morePublished 14 months ago by Carl A. Johnson

Prague, Vienna, Budapest Itinerary
- l
- lnedrive14 Aug 27, 2013 01:42 PM
Hi all - Thanks for all the helpful posts as I would have been somewhat lost without all the dialogue from CHs (as is typically true when I travel internationally). Would love any thoughts people have on the following options I have for meals in Prague, Vienna and Budapest, where I will be heading in a couple of weeks (for, sadly, far too short of a time). By way of background, girlfriend and I are both 30, live in NY, and are generally looking for Eastern European food (i.e., we can get world-class Italian food at home) with a mix of comfort restaurants and modern at any and all price points. We like places that cater to a bit younger of a crowd, as don't like feeling like we are the only people under 60 at a restaurant. With that as background..
Dinner #1: Lokal, U tri ruzi, or Red Pif
Dinner #2: Le Terroir or Bellevue (worried both of these are a bit too pricy for the quality -- anywhere more in the 40e range that is worthwhile?)
Lunch #1: Stierereck (already booked)
Lunch #2: Rudi's Beisl
Dinner #1: Gasthaus Poschl, Phoenixhof or Ofenloch
Dinner #2: Vestibul, Martin Stein, or Kutschker44
Dinner #3: Freyenstein (most likely) or Mraz and Sohn (probably more $$ than we want to spend)
Dinner #1: Cafe Pierrot or Csalagony 26
Dinner #2: Onyx or Costes
Dinner #3: Bock Bistro, Borkonyha WineKitchen or Rosensteins
Thanks for any further advice in narrowing these down!
For Prauge, definitely Lokal. Skip U tri ruzi, red pif. Lokal and U Hrocha are the standouts for traditional Czech food and Lokal has a very cool setting. I would go early, it gets crowded and things sell out... like goulash. Goulash always seems to sell out. After Lokal walk to Vodickova for Patisserie Mysak.
I'd skip Le Terroir and Bellevue. U Hrocha all the way. As opposed to the more modern Lokal, U Hrocha is a very traditional atmosphere. I'd also eat there early, gets crowded and seats very few. After U Hrocha, I'd pick up some dessert at Cafe Savoy. The apple cake is fantastic. The babovka and kolache are really yummy too.
I am also from NY, I would skip upscale in Prague and focus on things that are harder to find in NY.
re: Pookipichu
What do you consider "early" please?
re: c oliver
I like to be sitting anywhere between 5-6pm. I've been to Lokal at 8pm and the wait was out the door. Especially if you want to sit in the non-smoking section. The smoking section is a miasma with air so thick you could cut it.
re: Pookipichu
Lokal takes reservations but you can't wait until the last minute to reserve (at least the Lokal in Mala Strana does).
re: c oliver
PS - I am referring to Lokal Dlouha, I prefer it over the one at Mala Strana (plus it is closer to Misak)
re: c oliver
Also I'd recommend Baracnicka Rychta, they have delicious dumplings, good portions. Their beef cheek dish is really good. Their ribs are really good as well. The bread bowl soup is so hearty and hits the spot on a cold day.
re: c oliver
I went to Lokal at 9:00 or so one night (a weeknight) and there were two portions of one main dish available and one of another. Not sure what early was but 9:00 was definitely very late for that night...
On the Lokal topic, I prefer the Dlouha location as a non-smoker, the non-smoking section is much larger and not tucked in a back corner where service can suffer, as at the Mala Strana location. But both take reservations and English has never been a problem when I've called... definitely have a reservation.
Continuing with Prague, If you happen to find yourself at the castle and need a snack or drink give U Zavěšenýho Kafe (Úvoz 6) a try. This is a little cafe with some excellent casual food, a decent selection of wine and unfortunately a smoking establishment. You will find it at the top of Nerudova on the way up to the castle, just go past the turn to the castle and its on the right hand side. I highly recommend the venison pate if it's on the specials board.
A great casual pub in the Jewish quarter, with lots of Czech traditional dishes is Kolkovna (V Kolkovně 8), it is a Pilsner Urquell pub so you know the beer will be good, as well as the food. I've found this and it's sister pubs around the country to be the most consistent in food quality.
For Vienna, Phoenixhof is good so long as your expectations are right going in. It's a very local joint, not fancy and service can sometimes be slow if they're busy. The food is excellent but it may not be a "destination" dining spot depending on your expectations.
I'm sure Sturmi will chime in on your Vienna itinerary and provide better feedback.
re: vanderb
I would second the Dlouha location of Lokal. Make a reservation and then you won't have to wait. They have an English menu decoder that will help you with the specials on the board - order the smoked tongue and beef cheek goulash if they have it.
Kolkovna was also very good, particularly the goose leg.
For mid-scale, you might try U modre kachnicky http://www.umodrekachnicky.cz/en/orig..., which has two locations. They focus on game dishes. Prices per person are about 1000 Kc including tip.
Regarding Vienna:
- I find it an interesting twist to take lunch in the best place in town (Steirereck) and then take dinner at one of the rather down-to-earth places. Please be assured: Lunch at Steirereck is excellent, but still not as spectacular as their multi-course tasting menu at dinner time. But even after lunch at Steirereck you might rather have just a frugal supper and not a multi-course dinner. For this supper Phönixhof might be the best, since it is a rather simple place for inexpensive and simple food. A great contrast and a real experience for chowhounds !
- Martin Stein is closed. Another victim of the trend to cheap junk food...
- I think you might prefer Freyenstein over Mraz&Son. Mraz gives a rather theatrical presentation of their dishes, but the results pales in comparison to Steirereck. Freyenstein, OTOH, is a real gem, a no-frills ambiente and a simple presentation of perfectly composed dishes. The only drawback: you get what is on the menu, no changes accepted !
re: Sturmi
Thanks Sturmi, this is very helpful. Sad to hear re: Martin Stein. Any preference between Vestibul and Kutschker 44 (or i am missing the boat with either)? thanks!
re: lnedrive14
Vestibul is a high-end restaurant with prime food in a spectacular setup. A 3-course menu is 55, and a 4 course menu is 69 Euro.
Kutschker44 is a relaxed lounge-style restaurant, with an open range in the middle of the restaurant where you can watch the chef and owner prepare the main course. A 3-course menu is 31.70 Euro, and a 4-course menu is 37.70 ...
The main reason for the difference in prices is the location, but location and ambiente are always part of a dining experience...
re: Sturmi
If I also may ask you a question related to Vienna. We really want to go to Zum Finstersen Stern, I know you have written in the past how to contact them, but I cannot seem to find that information. Could you tell me again how to make a reservation? They do not seem to have a website.
re: zinfanatic
We had our hotel call them that morning for same day reservations. I cannot recall if we gave the hotel desk the phone no. or if the hotel had it. Here is the page from TripAdvisor for ZFS, which includes a phone number.
re: zinfanatic
English is really widely spoken in Vienna, there should be no trouble calling for a reservation.
re: zinfanatic
Zum Finsteren Stern has a land line phone. That is it.
They do not need an email-address or a homepage to be fully booked every evening !
Here are the contact details including a map:
re: Sturmi
Thanks to you both Sturmi and Vanderb. I will call and make a reservation from the US!
Sturmi is the "meister" of all things Vienna. I relied on his recommendations for a 2-week visit last September, and I will again when I return at Christmas (a challenging time, to be sure, given that many/most restaurants are closed). He's the man!
I've not been to Prague since 1990, so I'll leave that one to someone else.
Re Budapest: I love Csalogany 26. So much so, in fact, that I went there twice in one day. This year, I'll be observing my birthday there (in December). It's a gem.
I went to Budapest a couple of weeks ago. I ate dinner at Var a speiz, Bock Bistro (Pest) and Csalogany 26. Also had a lunch at Deryné. All bib gourmand mentions of the Michelin guide (best price/value). Csalogany 26 was the best, more refined and polished presentation, professional service. They are clearly working to get that first star. The space and location is somewhat dull though. Bock Bistro ticked more of those Hungarian boxes with hefty portions of meat (I had a roasted goat's leg with a spicy garlicky sauce and creamy buttery mash). Also the mangalitsa pork fat with crispy bacon to spread on the bread was divine. Also service was informal but efficient. Attentive waitstaff not shy of the odd joke. Had a decent beef porkholt with eggy noodles at Deryné but found the service too brisk and snobby. Clearly we didn't fit in with the Hungarian smoking yups on the terrace. Var a speiz was not bad but not particularly Hungarian. I.e. they had a ham flight on the menu that was Spanish and Italian ham. I had a Veal Rossini there that was expertly cooked. Do check out the different kerts as well for some bar hopping.
re: estilker
On Sturmi's excellent advice we added Konstantin Filippou to our Vienna list and it was a highlight of our experience, if you are looking for another top Vienna pick.
Le Terroir and Bellevue are both great options in Prague, in the top ten restaurants. They are formal, expensive and french inspired cuisine though. Have not been to Le Terroir for a while but it's a shame that Bellevue did not get its well deserved Michelin star this year. But I definitelly wouldn't say they are too pricey for their quality.

This is a really good powder and a steal too! I have this in the shade "Spice". I had this for a while and I began using this when I misplaced my setting powder.
This sets foundation nicely without giving an overly matte and chalky finish when used with a fluffy powder brush. It does not settle into lines and adds a little coverage as well. It is relatively small and finishes pretty quickly. I dont use the puff and the packaging is not much to talk about. Very basic- Cheap plastic, puff included with no mirror. But I still appreciate it to some extent because it is small and compact for clutch purse.
I'm not too loyal with pressed powders but I'm positive I'll get this again because of the quality given for price.

This is my favorite powder I've ever used hands down. I have oily skin, large pores, minor blemishes, and this seamlessly covers everything.
Though the coloring is a bit off, I am a light beige during the summer with a tan, I still have a sun kissed glow when using this powder.
One compact lasts me at least 3 months. Not bad for $1.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium Eyes: Brown
I love this poweder! I alternate between using this as my base powder (since I don't usually wear foundation) or the top powder to set everything in (concealer, bronzer, blush, etc). This gives such a smooth, flawless look to my skin. It's a must have, and for such an inexpensive price is awesome! I have mine in Honey, and it works perfectly on my tan summer skin, but also in my slightly paler winter skin. This has a lovely matte finish without looking cakey. I thoroughly reccomend this. Be careful not to get too much on. If you do have a spot on your face where a lot of the makeup has gathered, the container actually comes with a small little makeup powder pad. When I press it against the powder, it removes any excess. Perfect! This can also be used to even out uneven bronzing or blush, or when bronzer is too heavy in a certain spot on your face. An amazing product at an amazing price. What more could you ask for? As for all the negative reviews, it's all about application, skin tone, and brush. I usually use my Elf Total Face brush with it. The Elf Total Face Brush picks up product like no other brush! If you don't apply the product lightly and evenly, you'll end up looking spotty. Be careful not to apply TOO lightly or the product will seemingly do nothing! There aren't many colors to choose from, so there could be a chance that these colors are just not fit for your skin tone. If someone with super tan skin is using the palest color, then hello, it's bound to not look good. But above all, USE A BRUSH THAT PICKS UP A LOT OF POWDER! While you're buying the powder, why not purchase the Elf Total Face brush for just one dollar more? Only two dollars for an expert look.

I have this in Ivory, and use it to set my concealer and foundation. It provides a nice coverage on its own, too! It gives a nice finish to my foundation, mattifying any oiliness I have, which is usually extremely minimal. It works on my dry skin fine, not accentuating an dry spots. The packaging has broken a few times, but for a dollar, I'm not complaining. I will repurchase, since it works well and is very inexpensive.

Some days i like to just conceal(cuz i have bad under eye circles) and use this. it works perfect! controls oil really well. The only thing i don't like about this is the packaging, can be a lil bit annoying, but its tolerable. :)

I LOVE this product!!! It's only 1$ and it helps mattify my face and keep it matte the entire day! Not only that, but applied with a puff, this stuff has some serious kick butt coverage!! I can apply this lightly to set foundation or concealer and it looks great, but on days when I dont want to bother with concealer or foundation, I reach for this! I have moderate acne and pretty bad dark circles, and this covers them completely when rolled on with a sponge! It doesnt oxidize or look cakey either. It covers amazingly well and still looks natural! This is a drugstore gem in my opinion! :)

I really like this product! I have the color Honey and it matches me really well.
Pros: Lightweight! Cheap! True to color! Puff is not entirely useless.
Cons: Very Chalky. Not enough product. :(
Like people have said it is very chalky and it does cause you to "waste" product, so here's what I do.
I take a powder brush and move it around in the powder and tap off the excess. STOP! But don't blow away the product that remains!
Then I take the little puff and put it on the powder and it collects all the powder that was tapped off and the little powder "particles."
Then I apply the puff with the powder all around my face. Lastly, I take my powder brush once again, without powder on it, and swirl it around my face!
Warning: I have really oily skin and this product controls it a little but leaves me with a dewy finish. That I had to take a lippie off for because I like a matte finish.

text: I get regular check ups and that's some of the concerns you hear from the different judges is that exact question. If you become actively involved in either trying to sign a petition or take some sort of action, the first thing that happens is you're subject to being deposed or inquired about your health and what type of medical condtions you have, which is confidential. My health? The immediate reaction is the allergies, the eyes, the nose, and that's supposed to be a symptom of the mold. I don't know how far the science has gone in linking mold to cancer or linking asbestos to the particular cancers that have occurred here at the courthouse, but I would describe it as a cluster of sickness. That's the best way to describe it, I think.

- If you don't want to talk, this your place.HeatherDined on 11/13/2014Booked it for dinner, asking for a quieter table where we could talk. Funny! At 7pm on Thursday, it was so loud, we struggled to stay for a beer, and left without eating. Neon, loud, busy - it's more a nightclub where you can loose yourself. Note: we didn't eat or experience the service, but this form requires a mark, so just marked 3 stars above for each.Special Features:
- Very good comida criollaLovestodineVIPDined on 11/11/2014Excellent pernil and sancocho: like your Latino relatives might have made it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh, delicious food!!!lizzygirl1234VIPDined on 11/11/2014This is my second time at Sofritos and I am blown away by the continued freshness of their food! The calamari salad was so fresh and the dressing perfect! My pan fried chicken was awesome as usual and the shrimp (cevice?) was fabulous. I ordered a white wine spritzer and no-one makes it good but this bartender was perfection on it! Loved the sauvignon blanc and the desserts were amazing!! We had wonderful attention by many staff members as well to make sure we were happy! Apparently, that is a luxury now-a-days! Go and enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- restaurant weekFoodie1122Dined on 11/10/2014Great find for restaurant week! I had the empanadas, ropa vieja, and the dessert was all amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Great Spanish food, looking forward to returning for dinner againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Everything was good from the food to the drinks, but upon bringing the complimentary plantain chips and dip the server dropped a lot of them on the table, so therefore there wasn't that much on the plate. He should have brought a new plate to the table, but didn't. We asked and he still didn't, although we asked the waiter and he followed through.Special Features:
- Good, not great.CherryIceDined on 11/1/2014Our food was rushed out and then appetizers taken away before we were finished.. We were squished between 2 other couples even when the restaurant was empty. We felt very rushed.Special Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/18/2014Took my family to Sofrito for my wife's birthday and we waited forever for our food. The waiter was very apologetic but the food did not come any faster. When the food did come, it was nothing special. The mofungo was dry and tastleless.
- ExcellentWizJennDined on 9/19/2014My husband and I went for dinner for a mommy/daddy date night and loved it. My husband is normally just a meat and potatoes kind of person be he's already talking about going back. All of the food was amazing, drinks were great, service wonderful and the the pricing was more reasonable than we thought it would be. We will absolutly go back.Special Features:
- Great food!steph16Dined on 9/14/2014Sofrito had a great ambiance. I went with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday. The service was great and the waitress was on top of the birthday routine and refilling our glasses. Excellent sangria!Special Features:
- Really good food!JRA222VIPDined on 9/13/2014We had a really great experience at this restaurant, which besides being very trendy looking, was incredibly kid friendly. Delicious food (seafood was a little over cooked) Delicious Mojitos. Excellent service. I am looking forward to coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is superbOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/27/2014My date and I had empanadas (beef, shrimp, chicken in descend in order of greatness), shrimp ceviche, pernil, churrasco. Everything was excellent, prepared perfectly. Every bite had tons of flavor without being too salty. I absolutely live their food. Sangria and mojitos also fabulous!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TravelerVIPDined on 8/25/2014nothing to rush out for food was bland even when we asked for spicy
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/23/2014We came to Sofrito White Plains as a group of 5. We usually go to the location in the city, but wanted to try this location. We were so happy that we did. This location is still vibrant and energetic, but you can hear each other speak. The NYC location you can barely hear each other without shouting. The food at both are great and authentic. We especially liked the fact that White Plains had items that NYC did not have. The service was also excellent. They were very attentive and available for any requests. Love it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Keeps Getting BetterAiredaleVIPDined on 8/9/2014I've been going to Sofrito for years and it keeps surprising me. Place was packed on a Saturday night, especially around the bar and the sidewalk dining area. Wanted the place to make a good first impression on my date (who had never been there) and they did an amazing job. Plantain chips instead of bread were a great starter, the passion fruit mojito and the Angel Fizz (think alcoholic orange julius!) was amazing and we ended up just picking at appetizers through dinner (chicken empanada is the best I've ever had) and were taken very good care of. So 3 appetizers, 2 rounds of drinks, 1 flan and we were full and very happy. Would recommend to anyone, is a great date night and also a fun spot for a slightly adventurous family.Special Features:
- Cool spot!!LoveToEatDined on 8/8/2014Came after work to hang out with co-workers and we were pleased. Cool ambiance, ATTENTIVE staff, GREAT happy hour, fresh food. Yup, we'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- BeckyDined on 7/20/2014The brunch was great but the music was too loud. It caters to groups but you're unable to speak to each other given the level of the music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Definately worth every penny!Shonob1Dined on 7/12/2014Had a date night with the wife and thought this would be a great place where we can enjoy a meal together. Man, was I ever right! My wife loved the food and is still craving the deserts to this day. Noise level is a bit high so ensure they get your orders right. Great find!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sofrito so soTeacherLoves2DineDined on 7/3/2014Food was delicious as always. It took quite a bit for our appetizers to come out but the manager gave them to us on the house. It was my birthday and I was disappointed our waitress did not ask if we wanted dessert or coffee. Other than that it's a nice spot to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious & Great ServiceDatenightRilisDined on 6/21/2014From the moment we arrived tge staff was very inviting & attentive. The host was very friendly & out waiter was very informative.

- nice place for a dateFunsvilleDined on 6/21/2014After one dinner at Sofrito, i can honestly say that it is nice respite from your typical dining environment.

- Fun eveningSusanVIPDined on 5/3/2014Good food, fun atmosphere. A bit loud, not really a date place but fun with a group. Only complaint is that our main courses came when we were only halfway through with our appetizers. I asked that the food be brought back to the kitchen until we were done and the waitstaff looked a bit put out but otherwise it was a nice dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprised.TlenhartVIPDined on 5/1/2014Went for lunch. Food was delicious and I will be a return customer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sofrito OverallRadioClash30Dined on 4/27/2014I love their food, however, they usually mess something up. I'm gluten-free aka no bread and sometimes they give me a bread sandwich when I ask for a Jibarito. I have a wheat intolerance! I can not eat bread! Now on to brunch. We didn't get the unlimited (1.5 hrs) brunch, but I'm sure that's a fun time. The brunch menu was pretty extensive. Not only did they have the regular Sofrito sandwiches but the menu also included specialty brunch items. Again they didn't have plantains, but atleast they told me so I could order something else. They also didn't have their Yuca fries which was very disappointing, but they did have "Yuca Homefries"... All in all I will definitley return, I just wish they would get their food issues together.Special Features:
- Sofrito is a great time!beans1284Dined on 4/26/2014Sofrito White Plains is a really lively and fun restaurant offering lots of tapas and cocktail options. We were there to celebrate and had a wonderful time - the food was great as was the service. We dined on a Saturday night and used Open Table to make a reservation. Reservations would be highly recommended as Sofrito was constantly busy during our full night there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyed itGirlsniteDined on 4/22/2014Plenty of food, excellent service. The music was a little too loud for usSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss this this restaurant!PaulDined on 4/10/2014Great food with ample portions. Friendly and attentive service. Lively atmosphere.Special Features:
- Good food, service was fairOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/8/2014Perhaps the service was strained from the Groupon crowd, but it took over 20 minutes to get a menu, another 15-20 minutes to place an order, 20 minutes for the appetizer, then over 30 minutes to receive the entrée. The waiter was completely distracted and spent less than 2 minutes speaking to us - we had a better relationship with the bus staff. Food made up for the disappointment in service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing Great!PJC245VIPDined on 4/8/2014My Wife and I went there for dinner and the service was terrible. We waited 20 minutes to gets drinks and the food was average when it finally came out. They even had the nerve to charge us a 20% gratuity even with the horrible service we had! We would not go back there again after our bad experience.
- below average placegriskaDined on 4/4/2014It's a noisy place that serves the so-loved by somebody big portion of food that are almost tasteless and greasy; some people loves it other loves to eat out when they want to taste something special. Unfortunately for me myself belong to the second category so I was pretty disappointed. The service is poor and the metre accommodation and cordiality simply poor! for sure plenty of better place around to have a nice MEAL!
- Delicious FoodelaineNYDined on 3/30/2014This was my 2nd visit to Sofrito in White Plains. The previous visit was when it first opened. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun. The waitstaff is very friendly. While the food was still delicious, the place has become a bit run down and could use some touch ups.Special Features:

- Great FindTymorjen3Dined on 3/22/2014Got together with some old college friends to enjoy some good Latin food. It was the perfect spot as we could laugh and talk without anyone hushing us. The wait staff was friendly and the food was great and plentiful, just the way I like it. I would difinitely recommend to a friend and I will be back for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Kimme was stating facts and established trends generated by the Urban Land Institute and the Association of Bay Area Governments, which, by the way, annually projects the number of housing units for every city and unincorporated area in the nine Bay Area counties.
I did not interpret in Kimme's article as a bias for multi-family over single-family units, but a discussion of trends discussed in the Institute's report.
When he served on the Vacaville City Council, Kimme's question was often discussed by the full council in General Plan and development discussions: What do our constituents want Vacaville to look like in five, 10 or 20 years from now? What will be the quality of life for our residents under those growth scenarios?
These are the questions our present council now faces. With 4,750 units on the books and 5,000 in waiting, for a city of under 30,000 homes now, Kimme's issue is relevant. How big do we want to be?

Global sultana prices have fallen sharply as a result of high Chinese production. According to commodity analyst Mintec, the crop is currently selling at 15% below last year's price.
Following an excellent harvest in China, grape supply has heavily outweighed demand, pushing down the prices of crops both in China and elsewhere.
But a period of week sales of fresh grapes in China has led many farmers to decide to dry their crop, selling them instead as sultanas. But the record crop in China has resulted in a significant increase in sultana production.
Following increased availability, Turkish farmers have been forced to drop their prices in order for their crop to remain an attractive option to buyers.

Friday movie poster fun: Grey Gardens and Coco Avant Chanel
Most of you should be up-to-speed with two film projects that will premiere over the next couple of months (we have been banging on about them for long enough!). This week I have stumbled across the official movie posters for Grey Gardens and Coco Avant Chanel. Having seen the trailers, I must say that I'm looking forward to both films equally, however long it might take for them to reach our shores. After some real doosies, it's great to see some quality fashion films finally hitting our screens.
If you haven't yet seen the trailers, then do so by clicking here and here.

On the scoring chance project, and why it must continue
Cam Charron
June 28 2012 02:29PM
Whatever tendency certain players might have for driving their team to get more scoring chances than a simple shot differential predicts is small and swamped by random noise. This suggests tracking scoring chances isn't adding much information to the readily available shot differential numbers.
That's from Eric on this very blog earlier this week. I'm willing to believe that, too. Over the course of the season, when I was tracking chances for Vancouver, I found that when the Canucks out-chanced a team, they were really not in a position to win the game all the time.
Is Justin Schultz Worth the Hype?
Thomas Drance
June 28 2012 10:27AM
(This is a trunctated version of a longer Canucks Army post by Thomas Drance)
There are conflicting reports, but it appears as if Justin Schultz, with his representatives from Newport Sports in tow, will begins to hear pitches from individual teams hoping desperately to land the highly touted 21 year old defenseman on Thursday. That's per Bob Mckenzie:
The UFA defenceman and his agents will over the next two days meet in Toronto with a small group of teams he has on his shortlist.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 28, 2012

Aside from Zach Parise and maybe Ryan Suter, no player has been talked about more this off-season than Columbus Blue Jackets star winger Rick Nash. With the Blue Jackets running a sinking ship for almost a year now, it's been no secret that Nash has wanted out of Columbus and GM Scott Howson is looking to deal him. Howson reportedly tried to trade him at the deadline but couldn't get a deal done because none of the offers were up to his standard.
Shot quality revisited: A look at the correlation between scoring chances and shot totals
Eric T.
June 26 2012 10:08AM
- graphic courtesy of The Russian Machine Never Breaks
For two years, my standard explanation for why we pay a lot of attention to shot differential (Corsi or Fenwick) is that it correlates strongly with scoring chances, zone time, and puck possession, and is the best predictor we have of future goal scoring. Each of those claims is based on seminal work by Vic Ferrari and JLikens.

Semester Abroad: Spring 2013
As I got off the plane in Tel Aviv, I remembered one quote from the Torah: "One who walks four steps in Israel, his sins are forgiven." One, sins came flooding into my head. Two, I'm going to need more than four steps.
I had never imagined spending five days in this country, let alone five months. As I settled into my apartment in Jerusalem and began intensive Hebrew courses, I cursed the part of me that desired a culture shock like this. By the time the four week language course was over, I could make my way around Jerusalem without a problem. I had also learned where to buy the freshest and cheapest produce, how not to wake up at 4am with the call to prayer, and how to tell if those noises were gunshots or fireworks.
The many Jewish holidays in the spring meant many vacations. One vacation took me to Jordan to see the ancient city of Petra and sleep in the Wadi Rum desert. Another took me to a four day hike from the Mediterranean Sea to the Sea of Galilee. Still another had me following the Jesus Trail, a 50 mile hike from Nazareth to Capernaum.
After class I would explore the Old City: the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, the Temple Mount. I would walk the ancient paths, imagining what they would have looked like a hundred, a thousand, two thousand years ago. I explored museums, entered as many religiously significant sites as possible, and bargained for nearly everything I bought. Weekends took me into Palestine: Bethlehem, Hebron, Ramallah. I experienced the most beautiful hospitality, the most innocent children, the most loving people. I felt as though I was living in an alternate universe for five months: everything was so significant, everything had a larger meaning and purpose; who was I to have been given this privilege?
My semester in Jerusalem was so much more than a semester of college. It's cliché to say that your life changes when you study abroad, but that's truly what occurred. I saw the beauty of the human race right in front of my eyes, displayed in so many people from so many walks of life. I never imagined I could fit so many experiences and so many emotions into a mere five months; these are something I will carry with me for my entire life. If this phrase is any foreshadowing, my right hand will never forget her skill. "If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill."

- Chair of Egyptology
For me, archaeology is not a just a job. It combines everything that I could want - imagination, intellect, action, and adventure.
It is one of my dreams to establish a Chair of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo (AUC). This would be a very important part of the new Master's program that is being created at AUC. This new program will educate Egyptian, American and International students in the field of Egyptology right here in Egypt.
Important Notice:
Zahi Hawass Needs You!
We have succeeded in raising approximately $200,000, but we still need 1,800,000 to reach our goal of 2 million dollars. I am sending out a plea to all my fans; over the years, I have signed autographs for you, enabled you to visit Egyptian archaeological sites, and brought you the magic of Egypt through your television screen and through the books I have written. Today, I am in need of your help, not for my benefit, but for the benefit of Egyptology.
I have dedicated my entire life to Egyptology. So far I have enjoyed forty years of adventures, discoveries, tombs and mummies. During this time I have made many important discoveries, such as the Valley of the Golden Mummies, the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders, the pyramid of a queen at Saqqara, a new cemetery at the Gisr el-Mudir in Saqqara, and the Osiris shaft at Giza; using cutting-edge scientific techniques, I have identified the mummy of Hatshepsut and the family of King Tut. Now I am searching for KV 64 in the Valley of the Kings, and revealing the secrets of the tunnel of Seti I and the so-called doors inside the Great Pyramid.
I always say that to like something is not enough, to love something is not enough. You need to give your passion, and you need to give it all. I have given all my passion to Egyptology. And now I need your passion, to add to mine. The two million dollars that we can raise together will help the American University in Cairo to hire the best professor in the field of Egyptology to teach students here in Egypt. Maybe one of these students will have my passion!
For your donation to be tax deductible, we would ask that you give fifty dollars or more. And if you donate to the Zahi Hawass Chair of Egyptology you will see your name listed on my website.
List of Donors: Dr. Joseph A. Leone, Mr. Bruce L. Ludwig, The Ripplewood Foundation, Inc., Ms. Nancy Siebens Binz, Dr. Marjorie M. Fisher, Dr. Lorna J. Gladstone, Jeffrey Wayne Lovett
Click here to visit the AUC website and make your donation. You can choose the Zahi Hawass Fund in Egyptology toward the bottom of the page, under the section, 'Direct Gift to one or more of the following funds.' I hope that you can help.

- Avoid the Theater crowdJohnDined on 11/21/2014We were staying at Vintner's Inn next door and heading to a show at the Wells Fargo center. 90% of the dining room must have been doing the same and it really backed up the kitchen. Ended up waiting 45+ for entrees we order at the same time as our appetizers, and the food really suffered because of it.Special Features:
- One of the firstOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/20/2014This place was one of the first excellent gourmet dining places to arrive in Santa Rosa 30+ year ago. Before all the hoopla celebrity chefs and stuff. It has stay up there, but sadly has been surpassed by latecomers. The value for the dollar is a little poor, but when you consider you don't have to drive too far or wait for weeks for a reservation then it can be a special place to go to. Appetizers are a little on the very small portion very high price. The small plate of fried calamari ($14.00) had no more than 20 pieces of well prepared not overcooked tasty pieces. Not enough for two people to share. I had the one of the special for the evening which was beef cheeks, which were well prepared, tasty and tender. All in all, it is better than most places in the area, but a tad pricy. Service was good, although the server had to rely on reading some of the description of our items from OUR menu.... A definite return for special occasions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- View of the VineyardsTheDinerVIPDined on 11/13/2014Hard to go wrong with a great view of the vineyards and a warm inviting atmosphere. Good food though not outstanding. Worthy of a stop when in the area or of course staying at the connected Vintners Inn.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- goodplaceDined on 11/10/2014Great meal, reservation all ready for us, good service, and reasonable priceSpecial Features:
- McFoodieVIPDined on 11/8/2014we always enjoy eating here. The food is consistently wonderful and service is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always enjoyable.JNeensDined on 11/5/2014John Ash is one of those restaurants that is always enjoyable. Beginning with the ambiance as you drive in. The welcome you receive when you arrive. The attention to detail by your waiter. Especially when you have specific dietary needs out of the ordinary. Orders are prompt, food is original, creative and very tasty. Every need is anticipated. One truly feels taken care of at John Ash. I highly recommend it!Special Features:
- Best of Sonoma CountyOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/1/2014John Ash is never disappointing. The menu is diverse and on point with the freshest most well prepared fare anywhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too expensive.SusanJaneDined on 10/31/2014We don't mind spending $300+ on outstanding dining for three people. But it has to be out of this world fabulous. John Ash is really good but we were served only one thing that was to die for -- a desert. We were in South Lake Tahoe recently and spent less with a killer view and every plate that was beyond perfect (four star). Willy's here in Santa Rosa way better food (they should be with their star rating) and fun with the whole small plate thing. We dined at John Ash twice in the past and were very underwhelmed. The food and service has improved but not enough to account for the inflated prices.Special Features:
- Terrible corner tableDianaDined on 10/26/2014I was denied a desirable table location in main dining room for my special occasion dinner last Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014.Special Features:
- DisappointingMrsTerryDined on 10/25/2014The figs were tasty, but really just figs with a lump o cheese filling. The buratta was similarly uninspired. The crab cakes were good. For our entrees two ordered the scallops, one the cod and one vegetarian pasta. The scallops were undercooked, and the pasta just plain boring and with no flavor. The veggies were mushy and I had to ask for shaved parm. Only the cod dish was superb with good presentation and taste. The waiter was friendly but too busy for good service. Little mistakes like refilling a glass with sparkling water instead of flat etc. The desserts were good. Cheesecake was yummy as was the affogato. The berry crisp was Ho hum. And the cappuccino I ordered was ultimately cancelled because it never arrived.Special Features:
- Wonderful romantic spotOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 10/24/2014Delicious and beautiful atmosphere and scenery with impeccable service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerBobbyDined on 10/23/2014I would highly recommend John Ash for a pleasurable dining experience. Wine and drinks were excellent. Food top notch. It was a romantic setting and our service was outstanding. We are definitely going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So disappointingset11224VIPDined on 10/23/2014We've stayed away from John Ash for years because the food just isn't on a par with the lovely location and ambiance. Decided to try it again and found the same. The food is not special - yet the prices are high. Will not go back!
- For a special occasion1withwineDined on 10/23/2014My birthday dinner was spent at John Ash & Co. What a treat! The ambiance was special with the bar, usually a little more lively than the white linen dining, far enough away to keep it calm and classy. The birthday treat delivered during dessert was a nice touch. I personally liked the presenting of an amuse bouche at the beginning and a tiny chocolate treat at the end.Special Features:
- 42nd Anniversary Dinner!Toby2013Dined on 10/20/2014We ate at John Ash a very long time ago and we decided to book our 42nd Anniversary dinner this year. John Ash & Company will not disappoint you as their menu is classic as is their wine list. Our waiter was prompt, and courteous. We tried appetizer and dinner choices that we wouldn't normally order (The duck was mouth watering!). He also surprised us with a mini-dessert complete with a candle. We won't wait so long and can't wait until next year's anniversary trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a GREAT EVENING ALL AROUNDbadtadDined on 10/18/2014My wife had been wanting to go, so we went for our Anniversary, we had a great little table out on an enclosed patio, every dish was fantastic, especially the dessert, which was Three Chocolates; a chocolate gelato, a chocolate cake, and a chocolate mousseSpecial Features:
- Great NightDaveBDined on 10/18/2014We were immediately welcomed by the hostess who sat us immediately. Dining room was well decorated and not overly crowded with tables.The wait staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Service was great without being overly noticeable. Food was still warm when delivered to table and was very good.Special Features:
- Not what it once wasZenKitchenVIPDined on 10/16/2014I have dined here years ago and at the time felt like I was dining in a fine wine country restaurant. Not this time. Even though the fireplace was going, the main room was quite chilly the entire time. The bar area is at the entrance and it was quite loud. We could hear loud cheering and yelling from where we were sitting over a 200 feet away. Service was wonderful. Especially the back waiter. He was perfect with his timing and he was incredibly poised. Truly a nice experience. The wine list is nice, even by the glass. Mostly Sonoma Wine Country selections. For our meals we ordered the crab and corn fritters, tuna tartare, beet salad, fig salad, roasted sea bass, an Asian salmon and a butterscotch pot de creme. All solid.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular service, great foodVTRick01Dined on 10/12/2014I really liked this place. It was our last dinner for my wife and I on our honeymoon. We had the coconut lentil soup and fig, goat cheese, and arugula salad for starters and they were both very very good. I had tuna with shrimp tempura with soba noodles for my entree and it was outstanding. The melted candy bar dessert was so rich and served perfectly. Our service was perfect and it was a great end to a honeymoon trip. Highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Local Food a PlushappychefDined on 10/11/2014I have all the John Ash cookbooks and love his emphasis on local produce, meat and dairy. The food here is excellent. The ribs and duck cooked to perfection. However the service was confused, serving main courses to the wrong person and seating us late for our reservation.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/6/2014OUTSTANDING as usual! the service was as excellent as the quality of the food!Special Features:
- Over cooked and over pricedBradWDined on 10/4/2014Sea bass was scorched. Wine is 2.5 to 3 times retail. You can do much better for much less.
- John Ash & Co. Reviewluv2eatDined on 10/3/2014Another restaurant we frequent each year in Santa Rosa. Have never been disappointed in the menu and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnervegan2BDined on 10/3/2014My wife & I choose John Ash for it's reputation to spurge. I wanted to try the Lamb as a break from my vegan diet. as appetizer's we had the Lentil soup,calamari and Heirloom tomato salad. I ask for greens be added to the salad which was done without question. The salad was the best of the first courses. The soup and the calamari were O.K. not special. The Cabernet wine was a perfect addition for the main course, the lamb shank. The lamb sis not meet my expectations and I believe it was missing a blend of herb's which I recalled having with the same dish at a restaurant in Mendocino a number of years ago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous findOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/2/2014We took our group of five cousins to John ash to meet up with our uncle who some had not seen in 40 years. To say we were a boisterous group is accurate. We were seared in the very scenic windowed area. Service was top notch and patient. Food divine. Chili rellano fabulous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely setting but could do betterCroughton14Dined on 10/1/2014We dined here twice while staying at The Vintners Inn. On both occasions the food was interesting, of good quality and attractively presented. The staff were all very friendly but the service was very slow. We certainly don't like to be rushed but it was ages before we got our aperitif and things didn't seem to be co-ordinated. I think it would have been improved if there was an overall maitre de service overseeing everything.Special Features:
- Great experienceSteveDined on 9/27/2014Lounge service was very good. We wish the cocktail waitress could have been our dinner waitress. That is not to say there was anything wrong with our waiter. He did a good job, as did the rest of the staff. The food was very good. I had the pork chop which were cooked perfectly with great flavor. The polenta that was served with it was cooked well but was a little to rich for our taste. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Linda C.LocalAgainDined on 9/27/2014We enjoyed a family birthday with a group of six adults and received excellent and timely service. All of our dishes were good to excellent. We especially loved the desserts we chose. It is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or a romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Third time a CharmKarrenDined on 9/23/2014This was our third time at John Ash , and we save our fine dining for special occasions. We had not returned for a few years, but found the whole experience better than ever on all levels. We were there on a Tuesday night with a few other diners, and a table of three men were quite loud making it difficult at times for my husband and I to gear each other.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice, But Not OutstandingedhcaDined on 9/20/2014We dined here 9/20. The amuse bouche and charcuterie were very good. Had the salmon special and short ribs. Salmon, quinoa, short ribs and polenta were not seasoned. Though entrees sounded interesting/looked beautiful, they were just "nice" -- not outstanding. Spent $160.00 and expected to be wowed. Shared with our server who thanked us and said he'd tell the Chef. Surprised no visit from a manager. We do not see the need to return based on this experience.Special Features:
- Wonderful restaurantsrp36Dined on 9/18/2014We went to John Ash & Co. On our 25th anniversary after a day spent touring vineyards in Sonoma County. We felt welcome and special. Our waiter was great as was the food. Highly recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dependable QualitySharpasoDined on 9/16/2014Be it small couple dinner or larger group (this was 9) service was excellent, ambiance great and helped tone the meeting level. Fantastic filets, lamb had rave reviews. Wine list suited all of us, with Raphanelli being available along with Geyser Peak. Dessert was tempting but after the full dinner, most of us weren't able to eat most of the delicious desserts. Loved that they used Dry Creek peaches!Special Features:
- Retired4everretired4everDined on 9/14/20145 star all the way! Eric was right there but not hovering. Brick chicken was out of this world. Fig salad was indescribably delicious After one day away, going back again tonight.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always A TreatMikeDined on 9/14/2014John Ash & Co. is always a enjoyable. The food is very good, the sevice outstanding and the wine list extensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of Best EverSincerelyDined on 9/13/2014Everything John Ash has built up throughout the years with his partners is superb: location, parking, greeting, architecture, cuisine, wines, service, ambiance, sound level, flexibility, the bar, pricing -- very romantic. One of the best dining experiences in many a moon. And the lady liked it. Congratulations, again, to our old friend John Ash.Special Features:
- John Ash and CoYumyumVIPDined on 9/13/2014Great ambience. Went here for our engagement dinner and for the romance. Had a great time, food was ok but I mostly enjoyed my date!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/12/2014Food very overpriced for the quality. The waiter recommended Ahi tuna over noodles, the noodles were soft, overcooked and soggy with no flavor and few veggies were the same. My friend's meal was swimming in the bean juice. I would not go there again or recommend it. Beautiful setting.
- Always excellentScottishRoseDined on 9/10/2014Been to John Ash & Co several times over past few years (I don't live in Santa Rosa). Each time, the experience has been wonderful. Always a top choice for special occasions or lunch or dinner with (or without) friends when I in area on business.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!MaxchotshotVIPDined on 9/9/2014What a lovely evening! This is such a special restaurant for us. This is where my husband proposed to me 25 years ago and we keep returning for those special occasions!! The service is attentive and professional. The menu has so mmany choices it's hard to decide. I had a the special that evening with fresh scallops and salmon and my husband had the fresh halibut. The wine list is expansive and while not cheap, still within reason.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very special restaurantSidspoDined on 9/7/2014My husband and I celebrated my **th birthday here! The food was amazing from the starter of Dungeness crab and sweet corn fritters. The Lemon garlic orzo stuffed parson's tomatoes with pan-seared scallops was perfection as was the Alaskan pan roasted halibut! The desserts were over the top!!!! (Especially the birthday surprise!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock a the home of Mrs. John J. White, Sheridan circle, to celebrate the completion of the three weeks' campaign for the establishment of the Susan B. Anthony memorial fund. This fund will be used for the sole purpose of pushing the Susan B. Anthony amendment, known during the Sixth-third Congress as the Bristow-Mondell amendment.
At this meeting, Miss Hazel MacKaye will read a playlet giving an episode in the life of Susan B. Anthony. This episode is one of a series of incidents in the life of Miss Anthony which Miss MacKaye is dramatizing and which will be available for the use of suffragists throughout the country for propaganda work.
Dr. Cora Smith King will speak and a musical program has been arranged. After the meeting Mrs. White will entertain the company at tea. All members and friends of the union are invited to be present.Washington Post, Feb 28, 1915

Rehearsals have begun on a suffrage play, "In Defense of a Mother," by Hazel MacKaye, which will be presented at Rauscher's Wednesday evening next, following the convention of the District of Columbia organization of the Congressional Union.
The play represents an episode in the life of Susan B. Anthony, a pioneer suffragist and author of the suffrage amendment now being pushed by the Congressional Union. The union will present the play in every State this summer in connection with the political conventions which will be held to bring pressure to bear on candidates for Congress.

Latimer, of Baltimore, Mr. Scudder; and Howard Treat, William Lloyd Garrison.Washington Post, May 8, 1915
What a cute French Bulldog!
Miss Hazel MacKaye,
Your coif is a mess,
Your doggie is crying
Since he peed on your dress,
Your posture is slouchy
You need to stand tall,
And what's with all the buttons
On your collar, cuffs and all?
The dog's nails need clipping,
Lest someone get hurt,
Maybe that stain on your belly is dirt?
But in spite of the flaws
Your eyes are deep pools
Of beauty and justice and honesty rules.
Now you and your brother and doggie are dead
But you look so much like
My cousin Ed.
This is a lovely portrait, with the subject and dog looking relaxed and genial, and very nice bokeh. It's the very opposite of stiff, posed portraits of the time.
I'm pretty sure this young lady didn't have any cosmetic surgery, either! But she could definitely use some dental work, or at the very least a little whitening....

(called in a deed of 1758 the "Washway" and in 1750 the "Green Walk")
is shown on John Salter's map of 1830, and Beavor Lodge appears therein
much in its present form. In the middle of the 18th century the house
and the adjoining property were in the possession of Samuel Bever, and
as he seems to have given his name to the lane and to the house, it is probable
that he was the builder of the latter. The earliest reference to Beavor
Lodge that has been found is contained in a lease (fn. 1) dated 13th April, 1757,
whereby Samuel Bever demised to William Bedcott a messuage or tenement
with coach-house and stable adjoining situate in a lane leading from the
High Road from London to Brentford to the Thames side at Hammersmith,
with the freehold land adjoining then in the occupation of Samuel Bever, (fn. 2)
abutting south on the garden of John Winter, Esq., (fn. 3) and west on the said
It is doubtful whether Bedcott actually lived at the house, as he is
in 1773, after his death, described as "late of St. George's, Hanover Square."
In that year the house was in the occupation of Joshua Adams, "of Hammersmith, wax chandler." Faulkner (fn. 4) states that Beavor Lodge was the residence
of the vicar, the Rev. Francis Thomas Atwood.
The house is a simple rectangular building of two storeys, with brick
walls and slate roof. Certain of the rooms exhibit some interesting 18thcentury decoration. In the arrangement of the very charming gardens,
and in certain additions and alterations to the house, the taste of the present
owner has found congenial employment.
