Hello Lisa Lately readers!
We are Lori and Michelle and we blog over at purelytwins. We are honored to be writing a guest posts for Lisa.
A little bit about us… we love to create fun and quick recipes. It is a passion of ours really. We can make any excuse to get in the kitchen to play around with ingredients. We also watch our sugar intake due to skin issues. But we also have big sweet teeth so making fun and low-sugar desserts is something we like to do.
And after making our 8 minute cookies that serve two (that was a pinterest inspiration) we knew we had to create other options for that recipe.
We received several requests for egg-free, grain-free, and low-sugar (stevia) based recipes.
So off to the kitchen we went. Check out some of our other quick single serving cookie recipes here.
Now these cookies are not like your typical crunchy cookie. Nope. They are more on the soft side just like our regular protein low-sugar cookies. And if you have baked with stevia before you will understand the texture in these cookies.
The chia seeds help provide a slightly crunchy texture to them. Plus it is a great way to boost your intake of Omega 3s!
Here is how we made our chocolate chia seed individual cookies that are egg and sugar free.
Purelytwins recipe: Individual hemp protein egg-free chia seed cookies
makes 1 large or 2 small cookies
- 2 tablespoons hemp protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 15-20 drops stevia (*substitutions below)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons solid coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
- Place raw cookie dough onto a cookie tray. Note it makes 2 cookies or one large cookie.
- Baked 350 for 10-13minutes.
- And that is it!
*Substitutions: if you don't want to use stevia you can use 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey and will probably not need the water. You want the batter of these cookies to be moist but thick. And if you don't want to use hemp protein powder feel free to use your favorite – it might alter the flavor and texture a little. And you can use carob if you can't have cocoa powder.
We hope you like our chocolate chia seed individual cookies. They are perfect for those chocolate cookie cravings that can be whipped up in minutes.
Enjoy! Stop by and say hi sometime. Thanks again Lisa for letting us share our cookie recipe with your readers.

Fulfill Lincoln's promise by reinstating voting law
Two massive armies marched toward each other and history in Southern Pennsylvania, 150 years ago this morning. Oddly enough, Robert E. Lee's southern troops approached tiny Gettysburg from the north as Union troops approached from the south.
Their epic struggle and suffering over the next three days is seared into the national memory. The result on July 3, coupled with Ulysses S. Grant achieving total control of the Mississippi River by capturing Vicksburg, Miss., on the same day, permanently turned the tide of the war.
Earlier that year, President Lincoln already had issued the Emancipation Proclamation, but that was just the beginning of the long struggle for racial equality that continues today.
Lincoln declared, while dedicating the cemetery at Gettysburg the following November, that "we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. â¦"
Now, 150 years out, Congress has an opportunity to renew that resolution, to act to ensure that the democracy preserved at the close of the Civil War affords all Americans the opportunity to fully participate in it.
Last week the Supreme Court invalided a section of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, effectively precluding equal access at the polls in some states and smaller jurisdictions with legacies of discrimination.
Just seven years ago, Congress had extended the Voting Rights Act by a combined vote of 488-22 in both houses. Sen. Bob Casey called on his colleagues last week to reinstate Section 4 of the law. Doing so would help to honor the memories of those who fell at Gettysburg, and fulfill the promise made by Lincoln that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

It was just over a week ago when director Cameron Crowe teased on his website that despite earlier indications that the soundtrack to his forthcoming "We Bought a Zoo" would contain lots of Neil Young and Eddie Vedder, another mystery artist was vying for the gig. "I think it's going to lean heavily into one or two artists, but not necessarily either of them. We did play a lot of Eddie, Neil and PJ during the movie. It's kind of revealing itself now," Crowe explained. "There is another artist who is campaigning in the editing room with his music ala Cat Stevens in 'Harold and Maude.' We'll see how far it gets." Well, Crowe hasn't taken too long to let the secret out.
Todd VanDerWerff, TV editor for The A.V. Club is currently attending the TV Critics Press Tour -- where Crowe was on hand to promote "Pearl Jam Twenty" which hits PBS in the fall -- and he broke the news over Twitter saying, "Jónsi from Sigur Rós is scoring We Bought A Zoo. Everybody add him to your Oscar predictions all at once."
It's definitely a name that's a far cry from the likes of Young or Vedder, but this history between Crowe and Jónsi is significant. Sigur Rós licensed their first pieces of music for use in a film when they allowed Crowe to use "Svefn-G-Englar," "Agaetis Byrjun" and a live version of "The Nothing Song" in "Vanilla Sky." At the time, Jónsi joked that he thought it would be funny for Tom Cruise to act over their music, but also said "Almost Famous" made him want to be in a band.
As for Crowe, he had gushed, "Sigur Rós is one of the great bands to know this simple fact — the best music creates a movie in your mind. Making 'Vanilla Sky,' we played Sigur Rós constantly. It inspired us and gave us grooves that became part of the DNA of our own movie. But that's just us. Play Sigur Rós yourself. In every sound and song, they will reach deep into your soul. Sigur Ros is some of the best filmmaking you'll ever hear."
And that positive spirit carried through to "We Bought A Zoo" as Crowe explained at TCA, "It was a music-filled experience. Matt Damon is a big fan of all this music, so we played some of the music on his first day on set, and he said, 'Keep it coming man, keep it coming,'" Crowe said, adding. "The movie is being scored by Jónsi from Sigur Rós. I love Sigur Rós, and Jónsi has done this amazing score for us."
Of course, any other details are unavailable and it's unknown if he'll stand as the film's lone voice or if Crowe will be adding any others to the mix. Maybe Crowe will also be using some cuts from Jónsi's solo album Go or perhaps will dip into the music he has created with his other side project, Riceboy Sleeps.
Regardless, it's a great twist to the upcoming film, adding an interesting dimension to the domestic drama. Based on the memoir by Benjamin Mee, with a script from "The Devil Wears Prada" writer Aline Brosh McKenna, the story follows Mee (Matt Damon), a single father who attempts to fulfill his late wife's wish of moving their family to the titular animal sanctuary. Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church, Elle Fanning and more co-star. There is definitely a big risk going with Jónsi whose voice in the right mix is deeply moving and in other's can be somewhat treacly and perhaps over the top. But Crowe has proven himself to be a master of music and song placement, so we'll definitely give him a huge benefit of the doubt.
"We Bought a Zoo" opens on December 23rd.

Synthetic Gypsum: An Eco-Friendly Drywall Alternative
Green Architect
Gypsum board, also known as wallboard, sheetrock or most commonly drywall, is the most common form of finish wall sheathing. Common drywall is made of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two thick layers of paper, and makes for a very smooth finish. As with many other materials, the gypsum industry has found a way to incorporate recycled materials into drywall, which makes for a less energy intensive product, while also keeping a by-product of coal-fired power plants out of the landfill.
Samuel Mockbee: Master of Reuse
Green Architect
~ Samuel Mockbee
While much of architecture is known for glossy images, high-profile clients and starchitect designers, there have been some truly amazing architects that have stayed somewhat under the radar. One of these people is MacArthur Grant winner Samuel Mockbee, who is marked by his transformation of ordinary materials into extraordinary environmentally and socially conscious buildings.
On The Horizon: Building With Phase Change Materials
Green Architect
Anyone with thick brick or stone walls has probably noticed that their home takes a long time to heat or cool during the day. This is because for years architects have employed high mass materials, which slow the flow of temperature, as a means to build passive, eco-friendly buildings. While these materials work well at regulating temperature fluctuations, they can be expensive, require additional structure and eat up building square footage. Thankfully, scientists have been working hard on developing the same technology, but on a microscopic level, in the form of phase change materials.
A Comparison of Natural & Composite Surfaces
Green Architect
In the 'green' world, it might instinctively seem like natural is always better. But when comparing natural stone with recycled and composite products, the greener choice might not be what you think.
Auranox: Smog Eating Roof Tiles
Green Architect
We already have roofing that can keep temperatures low and roofing that can harness the sun's energy to make electricity, and now a company is unveiling a roof tile that can actually reduce pollution! According to MonierLifetile, their smog eating roof tile, Auranox, can offset the equivalent of one year's pollution from driving.
Maisons be-Green: A Parisian Prefab On Display
During my recent trip to Paris, amongst all the historic masonry buildings, I stumbled upon this modern freestanding prefab residence and was lucky enough to be given a (partially) translated tour of the house, Maisons be-Green. Similar to the Smart Home at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago, this Parisian prefab was built as a demonstration structure to show new ways of building, as the French would say, "écologique."
Cool Ways to Build Without Air Conditioning
Green Architect
While using air conditioning can sometimes seem unavoidable, there are ways to design homes that don't need air conditioning at all. It's easy to forget, but many homes didn't have this amenity even as recent as 10 years ago, and most often naturally cooled environments actually feel better than artificially cooled air. Find out ways to inexpensively and easily incorporate naturally cooling into your home, after the jump.
Lumboo: Bamboo Dimensional Lumber
Green Architect
Some of the major advantages to most bamboo products such as flooring and cabinetry is their strength, durability and high rate of renewability. So while standard wood has dominated most of the structural lumber industry, bamboo is aiming to get in on the action with the first engineered dimensional lumber, Lumboo.
Use Deconstruction For Your Next Project
Green Architect
Everyday people drop loads of money for expensive 'salvaged' building materials, solar power, non-toxic building materials and a prime location. But often a very simple and very green building technique is overlooked: deconstruction. While not all buildings can be saved, by carefully taking them apart rather than carelessly knocking it down, you can reap the benefits of high quality materials, unique building elements and sometimes extra cash in your pocket.
RainXchange: Modular Underground Rainwater Cistern
Green Architect
Rainwater cisterns are a great way to collect large amount of water to reuse in your home are garden — unfortunately most cisterns are very big, have a large footprint and typically don't look very good... It's this problem that RainXchange is going to solve: underground rainwater collection. It easily integrates into landscaping and is perfect for those who don't like the look of a cistern or who are tight on space.

The network of CEFs across Australia
The CEF has a network of over 40 local Country Education Foundations (CEFs) across Australia, all assisting their school-leavers to access further education and training – and investing in the future of their rural and regional communities.
Young Australians living in rural and regional areas are as bright and ambitious as those living in Australia's major metropolitan centres.
The disadvantage of distance
However, the reality is that to shape a career or undertake further education, these young Australians must often leave home, travel and live in or closer to metropolitan centres. For many of them the financial, emotional and social obstacles are just too great and they are unable to leave home to take up further education or jobs.
This is why the local CEFs exist – to support their local youth by providing 'non-cash' grants for study or work-related expenses.
These CEFs are located in rural and regional towns across NSW, Qld, SA and NT.

In response to shuperman's comment:
thats my point. Did he full well know he was giving the death blow? I watched a lot of rinaldos fights and he is out of control in them all.
Yes a lot gave flack and a lot said its the risk you take when fighting. Im giving san a hard time. zac is a piece of garbage that has no place in the nhl. In terms of fighting he didnt do anything wrong. zac has lost more then he has won, hes a smaller player and they both willing dropped the gloves.
I saw the clip that you did as well. I truly think the guy losses his mind when he fights. There are guys like that. Whether san wants to believe it or not.
Shupe, maybe it was just a case of Rinaldo losing control but my take on it is that something must've been wrong if he felt the need to ask about it. If he's justified in his actions then he should feel no need to discuss it further. I truly think he probably caught some flack from his own teammates and that's why he needed assurances that his actions were "OK". Vinny ended up doing it to Talbot later in the game and I suspect it was purely a revenge tactic as Vinny even hesitated before doing it. Some guys play (and fight) according to a code of ethics. Rinaldo is just one (of too many) who doesn't. My opinion is that he will either smarten up or have his career shortened. I'm not sure if you watched Leafs/Habs last night but I can only imagine the damage Gorges would've received from Fraser McLaren had the latter decided that he didn't care about the code. To each his own.

Celebrities walking the ramp is no news anymore, but actress Zarine Khan enjoyed her ramp stint so much that she walked for two different jewellery houses at the same event.
Zarine, who was introduced by Salman Khan opposite him in "Veer", was the showstopper for Divya K. Ahuja's show Monday at the ongoing India International Jewellery Week (IIJW), and Tuesday too the actress walked the ramp for Dwarkadas Chandumal Jewellers.
"The piece I was wearing yesterday had its own uniqueness and this has its own. I like both the designers, so I walked for both," Zarine told reports here.
Explaining the piece she was wearing for Tuesday's show, the actress said: "I feel very beautiful wearing it because it's such a grand and opulent piece. It's worth around Rs.1.75 crore. It's a beautiful piece especially with the sapphire and as it is, blue is my favourite colour, so I love it."
The 23-year-old was dressed in an Archana Kochar outfit, which was a blue corset and a colourful lehenga with thread embroidery.
The show also saw models strutting down the ramp in the jeweller's Polki Jadau Collection, heavy and light diamond bridal collection, couture collection and chandelier collection.

Siemens To Supply Pumps For TransCanada's Keystone Expansion
Siemens Energy received an order to supply integrated pumping systems for TransCanada's Keystone Gulf Coast Expansion Project. The pipeline will transport crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to the U.S. Gulf Coast. The first phase is expected to begin delivering crude oil to the U.S. Midwest in mid-2010.
Siemens' scope of supply includes pumps and electrical equipment for 38 pumping stations, which includes 104 pumps and motors as well as variable-frequency drives, E-houses with medium- and low-voltage switchgear and unit control systems for each station. In addition, Siemens will be responsible for system integration of the components and will also supply four high-voltage substations.
Siemens said this expansion will be the first pipeline to directly connect a growing and reliable supply of Canadian crude oil to the largest refining market in North America.

Opening Thoughts – When I first saw Nano Assault Neo for the Wii U I was happy to see a twin stick shooter come out for the Wii U and show the system some love. I am a huge fan of twin stick shooters and I felt that I would be the best candidate to review this gorgeous game! Also having a Wii U, something most of our writers don't have, also helped.
Gameplay – Once you turn on Nano Assault Neo you are greeted with a menu, but no back story as to what I am and what I am fighting for. This kind of threw me off and I had to go look it up because I did not want to feel like a pilot without a cause. Those of you who don't know, you are a ship trying to stop the deadly Nanostray virus from spreading in the nano cosmos. That was about it for the story, I was kind of bothered that the game didn't explain this to me and if it had, then I missed it.
Nano Assault Neo is one of the most gorgeous games I have seen on the Wii U to date. There are four levels with 4 missions each giving you a total of 16 missions with a boss at the end of every level. The cells that are known as missions are beautiful looking and traversing a level is a lot of fun. As you move around the cell they turn and twist to keep your ship in view reminding me of Super Mario Galaxy. You will be doing a lot of moving around while running from enemies that are trying to take you out, the normal formula for a shoot 'em up. The one issue I had with this is that if there is an enemy on the side of a cell that you can't see as you move around you may drive right into him and take a hit, that one really frustrated me. But other than that I really could not find many flaws in the game, it is a smooth operator and has a lot of replay value if you are a score chaser like me!
During the game you will be picking up a lot of points to spend in the upgrade section at the end of every level where you can buy satellite ships, ship upgrades, and special weapons. You will also pick up Letters that spell out bonus, once you do that at the end of the current level you go into a tunnel-like level collecting points while the ship moves faster and faster, you want to collect as much as you can without hitting any obstacles. These points will add to your final total for the level where you can compare your score with your friends score and worldwide scores with the online leader boards.
The controls are your normal twin stick shooter type, the left analog control your ship, the right analog controls which direction you are shooting. The ZR button shoots any specials you pick up along the way. The Game pad can be used to play the game so essentially you do not need a television to play. During the game you can adjust the position of your satellite ships around your ship and the direction in which they shoot. The controls are pretty simplistic and easy to pick up, mastering the game and getting bigger scores is what will keep you coming back for more!
Graphics – One word for this game is Gorgeous! I know I can't stop saying it, but really, this game is excellent looking. The enemies that you come across can be very outrageous looking and the fuzz/spikes on one of the enemies in particular looks great! Shin'en Multimedia nailed the graphics with this game. I did not find any stutter or hesitation while playing and it runs quite smooth at 60 frames per second.
Audio – The soundtrack is excellent also, it is quite upbeat and sort-of techno like. It keeps you coming back for more and it tickles my ear drums. When I first started the game up I left it on the title screen for a few minutes while searching Facebook and I did not get sick of the music one bit. I may actually look for the sound track for this game because I enjoyed it that much.
Multi–Player/Co-op – There is no online Multi-player in this game but there is couch co-op. If you have someone home that would like to play, you can play on the game pad while the other player plays on the T.V. The game will also display a live camera feed of what is going on with the game pad player next to your ship. That is an awesome idea and it is just showing the innovation that we have yet to see with the Wii U.
Final Thoughts – I had a lot of fun with Nano Assault Neo and I would love to see another game by Shin'en Multimedia but with a bit of different weapon types added to the ship and more levels. The score chasing can really suck you in and keep you hooked. The only bad things I can say about the game is some of the level design can be a pain to navigate though and it can turn into bullet hell really quick. Other than that I think it is a great game and well worth the price! It is a must buy for any twin stick shooter fan.

Amanda Mergaert ran a season-best time to advance to the finals on Saturday
June 6, 2013
Schedule of Events | NCAA Championships Information| Live Results | Watch Live
EUGENE, Ore. - Utah Track and Field's Amanda Mergaert qualified for the finals of the 1500 meters this evening at the NCAA Outdoor Championships from Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus
Mergaert ran her best time of the season, 4:14.89, and placed fifth in her semifinal heat. She now advances to the finals of the event on Saturday at 3:20 MT
"I thought she ran a very comfortable race," head coach Kyle Kepler said. "I think she thought the race would run a little faster but the front runners didn't hammer the pace. I thought she ran a savvy, intelligent 1500 and now it is on to the finals."
The senior All-American in both cross country and track is making her third appearance at the NCAA Championships. In her previous two trips, she had failed to reach the finals, but not this year.
"The goal was to get a top-five finish," Mergaert said. "I was counting the whole way so I knew I did not need to push harder than I did at the end. I knew I had three to four steps on the girl behind me in sixth."
Last weekend in Austin at the NCAA Preliminaries, Mergaert ran the fastest time in the trials, winning her heat in 4:19.08. She advanced to the quarterfinals and finished nine-hundredths of a second off her best time of the season placing fourth in her heat and seventh overall with a time of 4:15.19.

When the nation began hearing news about the influenza outbreak last fall, it came as no surprise to Ed Carubis. As CIO and associate commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH), Carubis had access to an IT system that warned him and his staff weeks prior to the outbreak.
"We predicted the flu outbreak two weeks in advance of any traditional surveillance methods," said Carubis. "That two-week jump was very important -- it allowed us to notify the medical provider community and allowed them to take action to encourage those at risk to get a flu vaccine."
Carubis and his staff use a combination of information systems to keep them abreast of public health concerns throughout New York City. Chief among these is a syndromic surveillance system designed to provide early detection of disease clusters and serve as an early warning system for terrorism events involving biological, chemical or radiological agents. "During outbreaks, time is of the essence in the ability to control, mitigate or respond to an event," said Carubis.
Historically city disease and illness surveillance efforts relied on patient visits to doctors' offices and lab tests, but that often meant days or weeks before a pattern was detected. "Traditional public health reporting has a built-in delay between when a person first gets sick, and that diagnosis and reporting," said Rick Heffernan, director of data analysis in the bureau of communicable disease at the DHMH. "Syndromic surveillance is trying to move further upstream to capture some of the data collected early in a person's illness."
New York's syndromic surveillance system uses a wide variety of data sources -- 911 calls, emergency room data, pharmacy sales data -- to rapidly detect increased reports that may indicate an outbreak. The system tracks the reports both geographically and by number of cases.
Simple Start
In 1999, the DHMH began examining 911 call data. "We believed there were certain 911 calls that could be indicative of an event that's occurring, from a food-borne illness all the way up to a bio-terrorism event," said Carubis. "We were receiving 911 call data from the fire department routinely anyway, so it was an easy way to start."
After Sept. 11, the DHMH looked at expanding the system, and started working with hospitals that collect data electronically and tried convincing them to share the information. "We didn't want to make any additional work for the individuals in the emergency rooms," Carubis said. "So it's very much been an IT-to-IT discussion of how to exchange information between systems."
Complaint data from patients at 40 different hospitals in the city now comes to the DHMH automatically through the syndromic surveillance system, which uses sophisticated data-mining software to collect and analyze the information.
Next, the DHMH worked with major pharmacy chains to gather certain over-the-counter drug data. The department wanted to survey data on citizens who didn't feel bad enough to call 911 or go to the emergency room, but were feeling poor enough to visit the pharmacy.
Most recently, the DHMH worked with major New York City employers that operate electronic attendance systems, hoping to detect a large rise in absenteeism that could indicate a disease outbreak in the city.
Mining the Data
Once all data is collected from the various sources in different formats, it's merged and transformed into a common format. The DHMH then runs an analysis on the data, and the system alerts them to conditions that may indicate an outbreak. "We send the results of those analyses to a group of epidemiologists who decide whether or not it warrants a response," said Heffernan.
The epidemiologists form hypotheses about what may be occurring and determine the information needed to confirm their hypotheses. They then conduct interviews with patients

(NBC News) When they're all sold they're gone. Tuesday was the last day it's legal in America to make or import conventional incandescent light bulbs.
The phase out of the last of the incandescent bulbs is a bright symbol of most of the trends in energy use in our country, and going into 2014, those trends are startlingly positive.
Electricity use is down 6%, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Burning coal to make electricity is down 20%, while oil and gasoline use are down 14%, lower now than in 1973 when the Arab oil embargo forced Americans to line up to buy gas and rethink our energy policies.

As War Clouds Gather, Robot Brings Peace To Holiday Season
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A world on the brink of a war that likely will be fought with aerial drones, laser-guided bombs and other "smart" weapons may welcome a peacenik robot invented by a University of Florida student.
Roughly the size of a large coffee can, the robot – named Gandhi – wears a digital smile and zooms around on two wheels. When it encounters two similar frowning robots rolling jerkily at one another as though spoiling for a fight, it touches them with two electronic probes, turning their frowns to smiles and calming their activities.
The robot is named after Mahatma Gandhi, who led the successful movement to end British colonial rule in India using noncooperation, hunger strikes and other methods of nonviolent resistance. The robot was invented by Andrew Davis, a 22-year-old UF student majoring in electrical engineering.
"Gandhi's whole behavior is looking around for belligerent robots and pacifying them," he said. "The robot is a model for how conflicts could be settled more rationally."
Ghandi uses infrared sensors to detect the presence of the other robots and electrical signals to change their behavior. Davis, who created the robot as part of part of a UF class in robot design, said he got the idea after seeing a movie about the famous Indian peacemaker and reading about his philosophy. While the robot doesn't have any practical application, Davis said it is an example of how the technology found in modern weapons of the sort likely to be used in a war against Iraq instead can be put to more peaceful purposes.
"I'm contrasting this peace-loving robot with the same kind of technology used for destructive purposes," he said.
Some 18 undergraduate and graduate engineering students built a variety of robots in the UF class, which is intended to help students in electrical and mechanical engineering put their class work to practical use. Among the others developed was a robot mouse that plays with a cat, one that takes pictures and one that plays ping-pong with a human opponent.

How would the federal government respond if Washington voters pass Initiative 502 and legalize recreational marijuana sales. Arrests of state-licensed marijuana growers? A big legal fight in federal court? Or would the feds leave the state alone?
In the waning days of a campaign to legalize marijuana in California two years ago, all nine ex-directors of the Drug Enforcement Administration simultaneously urged Obama officials to come out in strong opposition.
The pressure worked: Attorney General Eric Holder declared his office would "vigorously enforce" the federal ban on marijuana "even if such activities are permitted under state law."
Whether that was a real threat or just posturing is unclear: California voters rejected Proposition 19.
The test case instead could be Washington, where voters on Nov. 6 will decide whether to directly confront the federal ban on marijuana and embrace a sprawling plan to legalize, regulate and tax sales at state-licensed pot stores.

Speculation on the potential federal blowback is rife.
Would the Obama administration pick a legal fight over states' rights to try to block Initiative 502? Would federal prosecutors charge marijuana growers and retailers, even if they are authorized by state law?
Or would — as some opponents and supporters predict — federal authorities denounce the law but largely leave Washington alone?
The Justice Department won't say. But legal and drug-policy experts, asked recently to speculate, say any federal response is likely to be dictated as much by politics as by law.
Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, an I-502 supporter who talks frequently with federal authorities, thinks the Justice Department would back off after "a long, intense, fairly high-level conversation" with campaign and state officials.
"In the end, I think the feds will go with the will of the voters," said Holmes.
"Whole new ballgame"
Since the legalization movement took hold in the 1970s, at least 11 states — most recently, Rhode Island in 2012 — and several large cities have stripped criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana, usually making it an infraction akin to a ticket.
Full legalization has been proposed and rejected by voters in Alaska, California and Nevada, and is on the ballot this November in Colorado and Oregon.
I-502 is the most comprehensive proposal yet. It legalizes one ounce of marijuana for people 21 and older, and creates a seed-to-store, closed, state-regulated monopoly estimated to raise more than $560 million in new taxes.
Details would emerge in a yearlong process at the Liquor Control Board, but a state fiscal analysis estimates I-502 would result in as many state pot stores — 328 — as there were state liquor stores, with 363,000 customers consuming 85 metric tons of pot, all of which would have to be grown in Washington state.
That would be a "whole new ballgame" demanding federal action, said Kevin Sabet, a former senior drug-policy adviser in the Obama administration. He predicts the federal funding that requires a drug-free workplace could be endangered, as could federal highway and law-enforcement grants.
"These are the options that would be on the table," said Sabet, an opponent of I-502. "The idea that a state can collect funds, collect taxes off an illegal activity — I can't imagine that would be allowed."
Federal criminal prosecution of users, growers or sellers also would be an option. A 2005 U.S. Supreme Court case, Gonzales v. Raich, upheld the power of federal agents to arrest and prosecute medical-marijuana patients, in part because that pot could cross state lines.
An attorney in that case, Georgetown law professor Randy Barnett, said the legal arguments would be "even more forceful for recreational marijuana."
"Washington state is its own boss under criminal law, but what they say doesn't affect the federal government's authority to enact the Controlled Substances Act," Barnett said.
It's unclear, however, whether it would use that power. The DEA views all medical-marijuana dispensaries as illegal but has selectively enforced federal law. Last month, the agency sent cease-and-desist letters to about 26 of the estimated 150 dispensaries in the Seattle area, citing their proximity to schools. Most dispensaries, however, stay in business.
Should I-502 pass, arrests may have to wait until December 2013. By then, the state Liquor Control Board would begin issuing grower, processor and retailer licenses — and federal law would be violated on an industrial scale.
"Supreme law of the land"
By then, I-502 may already have its day in federal court.
One of the most-discussed possibilities is for federal prosecutors to seek an injunction blocking Initiative 502, based on Article 6 of the Constitution, which makes federal law "the supreme law of the land," pre-empting state laws when they conflict.
In a "pre-emption" challenge, federal lawyers could contend I-502 actively requires someone to break federal law. Such a challenge, for example, could hinge on requirements for the state to issue marijuana grower and retailer licenses, and to collect marijuana taxes.
Based on that theory, the Arizona attorney general, the Oregon Supreme Court and a California appeals court recently ruled that federal law partially pre-empted medical-marijuana laws in those states.
But University of Chicago constitutional law professor Aziz Huq said the history of pre-emption cases were "messy" and full of "internal contradiction." At times, the U.S. Supreme Court has been reluctant to toss state laws, he said, even when they conflict with federal drug laws, such as Oregon's assisted-suicide law.
"The bottom line is, the feds still could come in and bust marijuana shops, but the arguments to pre-empt (Washington state) law are weak," Huq said.
John McKay, the former U.S. Attorney who filed I-502, said he thinks the measure would survive a pre-emption challenge but hopes Congress, faced with a rebellion among states over marijuana law, would allow states to "opt out" of criminal prosecution in favor of strict regulation.
U.S. Attorney for Seattle, Jenny Durkan, declined to be interviewed, but sounded skeptical in an interview last year. "Every lawyer that I have talked to, including those who support the initiative, think that it will be pre-empted by federal law," she told The Associated Press.
Attorney Douglas Hiatt, a marijuana-legalization advocate who opposes I-502, agrees. "I think the feds would be in and out of court in 10 minutes. It's clearly in conflict with federal law," he said.
Both candidates for state attorney general — Democrat Bob Ferguson and Republican Reagan Dunn — oppose I-502, but say they would defend it if the state were sued.
Such a legal fight, however, itself would be good for marijuana advocates, said Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the legalization group NORML and an I-502 supporter.
"Usually we do not have the support of the elites, so the dissidents — NORML, the ACLU or other activists — have to go into courts alone," said St. Pierre. "This time, we could have Mr. McKay or the (state) attorney general representing us in a federal court. And that is why that dynamic — I-502 — is, to this activist, a … dream."
Politicals "running for cover"
Earlier this month, the group of ex-DEA directors who opposed California's Proposition 19 spoke out again, urging the Obama administration to oppose I-502 and legalization measures in Oregon and California.
There has been no response thus far, and Gen. Barry McCaffrey, retired, who was drug czar in the Clinton administration, wonders if there will be one. He laments a "vacuum of leadership" in opposing "state laws that normalize marijuana use."
I-502, he predicted, would be a nightmare for employers with zero-tolerance policies and would exacerbate the state's "huge, chronic addiction problem."
Despite those problems, "politicians are running for cover" on marijuana, said McCaffrey, who recently registered to vote in Washington state and plans to vote against I-502.
"I don't think they want to say a word (before the election) because they'll lose votes, whichever way they go on it," McCaffrey said. "Once the election is over, I don't think any politician right now wants to be known centrally as being engaged in this issue."
Stewart Jay, an I-502 supporter and University of Washington law professor, agrees. "I'm very skeptical that this is something the federal government will want to spend its law-enforcement priorities on," especially if Obama wins re-election, Jay said.
"But it's anybody's guess, really."

KAOHSIUNG, Chinese Taipei, August 26. THE Pentathlon World Championships took place this weekend in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei.
Day 1
With heavy downpours waterlogging the Riding course and making it impossible for the horses to come out for the penultimate event of the Women's World Championships Final, the competition has now been suspended until tomorrow. Great Britain's Olympic silver medallist Samantha Murray is top after two events.
The British World No.6 told us, 'I am happy with my position after doing well in the fence. It was also a difficult swim in a slow pool with very warm water so to be first at this point in time is good for me personally.'
On the postponement of the competition, Murray added, 'It is very difficult for all the athletes who have travelled so far to be met by a Typhoon. There has been no recovery time due to us having to compete every day. It has been far from ideal. I hope that the weather does not overshadow these World Championships.'
Understandably disappointed, she might take solace in the fact that Britain currently leads the Team rankings with defending champion Mhairi Spence in tenth position and Freyja Prentice 15th overall.
Murray had recorded the quickest time in the pool, clocked at 2:10.58, after having come fourth in the fence, amassing 2164 points. France's Elodie Clouvel stands second overall, 48 points behind the Brit.
After day 1, Margaux Isaksen (USA) was in 17th position. She was 14th in fencing with 18 wins worth 856 points. Her swim was 2:20.69, 1,968 points. She is now poised to start some of her strongest events when the competition continues.
UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann said, 'The most important is the safety of the athletes and the horses, so with these conditions, it was simply impossible to continue. I have been involved in the sport for 50 years and have never experienced conditions like these. Sometimes you just have to accept the will of nature.'
If she can continue her good form when the action gets underway again tomorrow morning, Alise Fakhrutdinova could be a dark horse for honours. The 23-year-old Russian was fifth best on the pistes before she took 10th place in the pool. Her compatriot Donata Rimasaite is just behind her in 4th position with Junior World Championships bronze medallist Gloria Tocchi making up the top five.
2008 Olympic Champion Lena Schoneborn from Germany and Brazil's 2012 Olympic bronze winner Yane Marques are 6th and 7th respectively as Liudmila Kukushkina of Russian and Ukraine's Iryna Khokhlova complete the Top 10.
Day 2
Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei – With Typhoon Trima having moved past the island of Taiwan and slamming in the Chinese mainland, the competition was able to continue at the Pentathlon World Championships. In a change in schedule, the remainder of the men's and women's individual finals was held.
On the women's side, Team USA was represented by Margaux Isaksen who finished strongly winning the riding with a perfect score of 1200 and placing 13th in the combined, 13:20.32, 2,000 points. This helped Margaux to finish in 8th place overall with 5,168 points.
On the men's side, it was Army Specialist Dennis Bowsher leading Team USA to an 11th place finish. Dennis along with team mate Nathan Schrimsher won the riding event with a perfect score of 1,200 points. Dennis recorded a time of 11:51.15 in the combined which was worth 2,356 points for a total score of 5,672 points.
Army PFC Nathan Schrimsher in his first Senior World Championships having just completed the Junior World Championships on the Chinese mainland and qualifying for the senior final in his first effort finished 27th with 5,484 points. As previously mentioned, Nathan had a perfect score of 1,200 points to win the riding. He had some difficulty in the combined time recording a time of 12:16.38 worth 2,176 points.
It was Lithuania winning both the men's and women's titles with Laura Asadauskaite winning the women's event with 5,312 points and team mate Justinas Kinderis 5,824 taking the men's crown. Full results are on the www.usapentathlon.org.

On a recent radio interview, Jones said he has added 10 lbs of muscle, bringing him up to 270lbs . He reportedly had a good offseason, adding bulk, training in MMA with his brother and is poised to have a year 2 progression similar (I hope) to that of JPP or Watt.
Jones exhibited big potential last year before his injury. 2 things I thought he needed to do this offseason was to add bulk (check) and improve his hand use and quickness (maybe check with MMA and other training).
What type of year do you think Jones will have? A meteoric rise like JPP and Watt, or something closer along the lines of his production last year which wasn't too bad either. If he had stayed healthy, he may have projected to have 10+ sacks and a bunch of tackles which probably would have garnered him the DROY award.

Swiss surrealist artist H.R. Giger who designed the monster and revolutionary sci-fi sets for the film Alien has died, his museum said on Tuesday. He was 74.
Giger, who was born Hans Rudolf in the eastern Swiss town of Chur in 1940, died on Monday in Zurich from injuries he obtained after suffering a fall, an employee of the H.R. Giger Museum said, confirming reports in Swiss media.
Famous for creating the otherworldly creature in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror film Alien, Giger was awarded an Oscar for Best Achievement in Visual Effects in 1980.
The son of a chemist, he studied architecture and industrial design in Zurich, and first experimented with ink drawing and polyester works before moving onto large freehand airbrush works showcasing nightmarish dreamscapes.
His work explored the relationship between the human body and the machine, and he created surrealist images of humans fused with industrial parts, a style he described as "biomechanical".
One example of this was his 1973 record cover design for "Brain Salad Surgery" by English rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer's which depicted a human skull encased in a machine.
"My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy. A good many people think as I do. If they like my work they are creative… or they are crazy," Giger said in an 1979 interview with Starlog magazine.
In 1975, Giger endured tragedy when his partner Swiss actress and Li Tobler, who served as a model in several of his works, committed suicide. He married Mia Bonzanigo in 1982 but the couple later divorced.
Giger was also known for his sculptures, paintings and furniture and many of these works are on display at his own museum in a medieval castle in Gruyeres, central Switzerland, which is run by his second wife Carmen Maria Scheifele Giger.
The museum, which opened in 1998 also houses Giger's private art collection, including works by Salvador Dali.
Giger was featured in Airbrush Action magazine and was a recipient of the Vargas Award. Cliff Stiegiltz, Airbrush Action's publisher, visited the legendary artist at his home in 1988. "Giger actually picked me up at the airport, and we toured Zurich and his amazing home, and had lunch where I sat under a Picasso painting," Stieglitz recalls. "I remember his kitchen had a bath and a life-size replica of the now classic alien creature. The dining room walls were covered with Giger murals; absolutely gorgeous in person. And his Oscar award was clearly on display. The chairs, tables, and even the outside pavers were custom-made with his elaborate and macabre concepts. At one point he invited me to see his backyard garden, which seemed like something you'd see on the Adams Family. Giger was a great host, even though he nodded off a couple times at lunch. It was a truly memorable experience."

News: 1-24th Infantry builds a better fighting force
Story by Sgt. Michael Blalack
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division conducted a team-leader course on Fort Wainwright, Alaska, Jan. 13-16 in order to develop junior leaders in preparation for future operations within the Army's Pacific Command area of operations.
The course consisted of both classroom and field exercises with instruction on the administrative tasks of junior leaders, as well as well as tactical and operational skills.
"We're not only preparing our younger soldiers for the responsibilities that come with leadership positions," said Sgt. 1st Class Timothy Simmons, platoon sergeant for A Company, 1-24th Infantry, "but also making sure that our standard operating procedures are uniform throughout the battalion so that our leaders can easily move from one company or squad to another seamlessly."
After two days of classroom training focusing on legal, behavioral health, counseling and other administrative duties, the students and instructors moved to Fort Wainwright's Combined Arms Training Facility for squad- and team-level maneuvers, including movement fundamentals, clearing procedures, and other battle drills.
"It's been a little overwhelming," said Pfc. Luke Niemela, an infantryman with A Company, 1-24th Infantry. "We've covered a lot, from how to do the day-to-day things like counseling and assisting your soldiers with legal or financial issues, to how to lead a squad into combat. It's one thing to follow and watch, it's another to actually do it, to understand everything that's going on. It has been a good experience and I'm sure we're going to become not just better leaders, but better soldiers as a result of it."
The battalion started each day of the exercise with challenging physical training led by the battalion command sergeant major and the company first sergeants.
"It's all about building leaders and a more cohesive team," said Simmons, "and ultimately, through improving tactical knowledge and leadership skills, a better and more well-trained fighting force."

text: Photo Gallery Tsunami Pictures: Epic Waves, Earthquake Shock Japan The biggest earthquake in Japan's history Friday sparked three-story tsunami waves, hundreds of casualties, and towering infernos. PUBLISHED Fri Mar 11 17:02:00 EST 2011 0 1 / 8 Tsunami Strikes Japan UPDATE (March 12): For more recent photos, see Japan Tsunami Pictures: Nuclear Reactor and Cities Burn >> Houses burn amid flood waters on Friday after a massive magnitude 8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan triggered a powerful tsunami. Hundreds are dead, thousands are stranded, and a handful of ships and trains remain missing along the country's northeastern coast, according to the Los Angeles Times. (Get tsunami facts.)The earthquake—the strongest in Japan in 140 years—struck 81 miles (130 kilometers) off the coast of Sendai at 2:46 p.m. local time, the LA Times reported. (See a Japan map.) A port city of about a million residents, Sendai was hit by tsunami waves up to 33 feet (10 meters) high. Tsunami warnings were quickly issued for many Pacific Coast regions, including Hawaii, the Philippines, and Mexico. (See tsunami pictures.)The earthquake and its aftershocks were felt as far away as Tokyo, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) from the epicenter."I thought I was going to die when it hit," Megumi Ishii, 26, told the LA Times from Tokyo. "At first it didn't shake that much. But then the shaking got more violent and everyone in my office got under their desks. The ceiling tiles came off and some things fell off shelves."(Related: Could Seattle suffer a similar earthquake?

Although miles from the epicenter, Tokyo felt the effects of the earthquake and its aftershocks as buildings swayed, train cars rocked, and windows rattled, according to BBC News. Residents and office workers poured out of buildings in Japan's capital city and gathered in open spaces. (Related: "Earthquake Fault Under Tokyo Closer Than Expected, Study Finds.") The earthquake prompted officials to suspend Tokyo's rapid transit system, stranding many people in the city center, the BBC reported. About four million homes in the Tokyo area are without power. (Related: "Tsunami Facts in Wake of Japan Earthquake.") Photograph from Kyodo/Reuters Quake Collapse People examine a house damaged by a collapsed roadway in Sukagawa City on March 11 after Japan's magnitude 8.9 earthquake. Japan is part of the Pacific ring of fire, a geologically active region prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Still, Friday's powerful temblor caused widespread devastation on Japan's main island of Honshu. For instance, a petrochemical plant in Sendai suffered a large explosion and an oil refinery caught on fire in Ichihara City, the BBC reports. In Fukushima Prefecture, a dam burst and a cooling system failed at a nuclear power plant. (Related: "Shaky Start for New Quake Alert System in Japan.") Photograph by Fukushima Minpo, AFP/Getty Images Tsunami Swirls Tsunami waves created a whirlpool off the coast of Oarai in Japan's Ibaraki Prefecture on March 11 following the magnitude 8.9 earthquake. (Video: Tsunami 101.) Tsunami waters engulfed croplands and towns and swept away houses, cars, and ships along Japan's east coast. The huge waves—up to 33 feet (10 meters) high in places—reached as far as about 6 miles (10 kilometers) inland in Miyagi Prefecture, CNN reported. According to Japan's Kyodo News, 200 to 300 bodies have been found in Miyagi's coastal city of Sendai, likely the hardest hit by the tsunami.(Get the inside story of how nations rally to aid others after earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters.) Photograph from Kyodo/AP Higher Ground People survey debris-filled waters on March 11 after tsunami waves engulfed coastal towns in Japan's Miyagi Prefecture. Video footage from locations along Japan's east coast shows walls of water smashing ashore, often with large objects such as cars, boats, and even homes riding inland with the waves. In Sendai, the tsunami wave "was mixed with mud, with ships and cars smashing toward wooden houses, dragging those into rice fields, and basically bashing them into pieces," a Bloomberg TV reporter said from the scene, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

Photograph from Yomiuri Shimbun/AP Japan Ablaze A column of flames towers over Ichihara, Japan, on March 11 after the magnitude 8.9 earthquake triggered a fire at a petrochemical plant. Elsewhere, the Japanese government ordered thousands of residents in Onahama City to evacuate after a cooling system failure at a nuclear power plant, according to the Associated Press. No radiation leaks have been reported, but people were told to move at least two miles (three kilometers) away from the plant because the reactor core is still hot even after being shut down. Photograph from Kyodo/AP Three-Story Tsunami A three-story tsunami obscures all but treetops as it roars into Natori, Japan, on Friday—about the same height as the largest waves seen during the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands in late 2004. Tsunamis have been known to surge vertically as tall as 100 feet (30 meters). Most tsunamis cause the sea to rise no more than 10 feet (3 meters).

(Watch video of the tsunami creeping across Sendai's airport.)Spawned by the magnitude 8.9 earthquake offshore, tsunami waves nearly completely inundated the runway. The airport, like others in Japan, is closed as of Friday midday, eastern time.In general, travel to, from, and within Japan is highly compromised. The U.S. State Department announced early Friday that it "strongly urges U.S. citizens to avoid tourism and non-essential travel to Japan at this time."Tokyo airports are currently closed; other airports in Japan may be closed or have restricted access. Public transportation, including trains and subways are closed in the Tokyo area, and service has been interrupted in other areas. Many roads have been damaged in the Tokyo area and in northern Japan."Strong aftershocks," the State Department added, "are likely for weeks following a strong earthquake such as this one."More Japan tsunami pictures: Nuclear reactor and cities burn >> Photograph from Kyodo/AP Related Stories Get Lost in the Dark Beauty of a Russian Salt Mine In Bethlehem's Ancient Church, a Long Unseen Presence Appears 11 Otherworldly Pictures of Abandoned WWII Bunkers

This poolside burger bar, located inside the opulent Zimbali Coastal Resort, invites causal dining in relaxed surrounds.
The menu boasts a fine selection of gourmet burgers with a twist and various light meals. Tables scattered around the poolside provide a refreshing alternative to dining indoors.
Bite Restaurant is ideal for causal lunches and family get-togethers.
Zamalek definitely benefits from this hearty eatery that sells just what it's name suggests - burgers, and, well, burgers. 100% Angus beef and the freshest ingredients are used. The menu is large and caters to all tastes. Try the Cowboy Burger with beef, bacon, onion rings and cheese. The Shrooms burger ads perfectly cooked mushrooms and a healthy portion of cheese on top of a juice burger patty. Sides include onion rings, fries, and interesting varieties like chilli cheese fries.
If you have ever wondered what real street food is, wonder no further. This little restaurant is located on arguably the busiest strip in Cape Town - Long Street.
Don't be fooled be the rustic (very rustic) interior. Just grab a high chair or a bench, order and await a new kind of delight. The Burger Shop, true to its name, offers mainly burgers, chips and stuff on rolls, but the portions are big and the nostalgia the street food evokes is something quite unique.
The dining process can become quite messy as it is 'illegal' to eat a burger with anything else than your hands, but this is part of the fun and colourful vibes that especially this part of Cape Town offers.
This is definitely not something to try if you prefer fine dining in a posh spot, but if you want a unique, proudly South African experience, pop in here.
Renowned for their 100% pure beef burgers, handmade and char-grilled to perfection, Chuckleberry's delivers delicious comfort food consistently. Choose between a 150g, 300g and a super massive 450g burger patty with an extensive range of gourmet toppings to complement the flavours.

All the burgers are homemade patties made from100% lean AAA grade beef and are flame grilled for that delicious barbeque flavour. There are healthier options on the menu too including salads and delicious grilled chicken sandwiches. A trip to a diner would not be complete without ordering one of the old fashioned homemade milkshakes, made with extra creamy ice cream. Dodge City Diner also has a mouth watering selection of Gelato, an ideal way to cool off on a hot summer's day!

This fabulous burger joint is situated in the popular V & A Waterfront and delivers on location, ambience, service and most importantly, yummy food.
When you walk in the door you'll see the staff dressed in smart uniform surrounded by elegant, warm and upmarket decor. But this joint is far from pretentious. Gibsons definitely serves up some of the best burgers in town.
Although gourmet burgers with a wide variety of toppings are at the top of the list, the menu also offers ribs, steaks, chicken, fish and salad dishes.
Start off with tender calamari that literally melts in your mouth. Or try the messy, sticky pork ribs and Gibson's secret cream sauce that complements the sweet potato fries perfectly.
The meat they use for the burger patties is full of flavour and yo can taste that it is the best of the best cuts used. The Mr Chutney burger with cheddar, bacon and chutney is a must-try and, just to treat yourself more, have a bar-one milkshake made with real bar-one chocolate.
Informal, fun and comfort food with a modern twist is what this joint is all about.
For dessert, make it a real experience by teaming this with a Bar-One milkshake with real melted Bar-One chocolate!
Enjoy one of the world's most classic dishes - with a twist. An experience at Gourmet Burger on the bustling Shortmarket Street in Cape Town is a must.
The small but cosy restaurant boasts funky décor and the interior and vibe is modern and vibrant, reflecting perhaps the remnants of the classic American-style diner.
The menu offers a selection of over 30 different burgers and there really is something for everyone. Diners can choose chicken, beef, lamb, veg, prawn or calamari to top the lightly toasted rolls. A must-try is the vegetarian Field Mushroom Burger topped with rocket, red pepper, avo and feta. Other favourites include the chicken, camembert and cranberry sauce burger and the lamb with herb mustard and blue cheese aioli. Wash it down with a Lindt chocolate shake - you'd be hard-pressed to be more indulgent. The restaurant is licensed and you can select delicious Paul Cluver wines to complement your meal.
The food is original, the atmosphere bustling and the prices reasonable.
Hudsons the Burger Joint, as the name implies, is an American-style diner with a contemporary twist in its design by including the use of Tom Dixon Beat lights, genuine leather booths, hand-crafted dining chairs, mounted animal horns and New York city street maps. Their rock and roll beats and attentive, eye-catching staff all set the fast paced tone for the urban consumer on the hunt for casual gourmet.
Each burger has a story; its ingredients, name and recipe are all hand selected and perfected by the owners, David and Ross. It is a simple recipe; a beef patty made with the finest cuts, topped with the freshest ingredients. The bun is no exception, as Ross uses a personal recipe to create its distinctive flavour. Gourmet or innovative, call it what you will, they're just damn good burgers topped with thought-provoking combinations such as biltong chilli cream cheese, bacon jam, deboned rib and beer battered jalapeños, resulting in a sensory explosion.
Sticking by their beliefs that hand-made is best, a must-try is the Boilermaker exclusive to Hudsons, crafted once a month at Lakeside Beerworks, and the Hudsons Pale Ale, which is brewed at the Cape Brewing Company. Finish off the Hudsons experience with their colossal milkshakes, renowned for their ingenious flavours, such as house made fudge. These milkshakes, along with their burgers, have achieved cult status.
Sit down or take-away, Hudsons is something you are going to want to repeat. Join them in Greenpoint or Claremont, or at their flagship store in Kloof street, Cape Town. For more information email them at: [email protected]
Mr Pickwick's is no doubt named after the entertaining and endearing Charles Dickens character of the Pickwicks Papers fame.
This quaint, yet vibrant restaurant has an extremely rustic feel to it, so do not expect an upmarket experience. However, if good conversation, scrumptious food and quirky furnishings are your thing, this is the place to go.
The restaurant has more of a student feel to it, so bring the youth inside you and join the clan.
The burgers are really filling and many a review has been written about them. It certainly is something to try. The most amazing milkshakes and ice creams are on offer and you will be astounded by the amount of flavours. From normal strawberry and chocolate to Turkish delight and caramel and almond.
Funky painted tins for light shades, vintage-style crockery, a bustling artsy atmosphere and good old comfort food is what you'll find at Mr. Pickwicks.

Watch These People Jump Off A Roof Into A Giant Pile Of Leaves
By Mack Rawden 4 years ago
As a child, there are few activities more entertaining than raking leaves into a pile and jumping into them. As an adult, there are apparently few activities more entertaining than raking leaves into a pile and jumping into them. At least thats what the cast of Bangakang proved earlier this year when they rented a truck, filled it with 1,300 bags of leaves, dumped the contents into a giant pile and repeatedly jumped off a roof onto the monstrosity.
The entire ordeal, from renting the truck to doing celebratory backflips off the roof was filmed, edited together and put online earlier this week, and not surprisingly, the footage has been racing around the Internet. Take a look at the greatness below
This giant leaves pile is seventeen feet tall and sixty feet around; yet, every time I watch that clip, I feel like theyre going to jump too far and miss the monstrosity entirely. I think thats a sign that Im getting too old. I dont remember ever being concerned with people breaking their necks when I was a kid.
Regardless, I can appreciate the effort and the level of crazy that went into conceiving this idea, following through and making it happen. Congratulations to everyone involved. I hope the afternoon was as nostalgic and entertaining as it looked.
