So I just beat this game for the first time on the HD Collection, I would love to talk about it with some folks.
So I'm gonna say that it has one of the best endings to a MGS game...Right?

Yeah, if this is after the Peace Walker fight, you still have more work to do. I agree though, I really liked that ending. (Though there hasn't been a Metal Gear Solid whose ending I didn't like)
Then keep playing the game and continue acquiring parts for ZEKE. You have not truly beaten Peace Walker yet.@DocHaus I haven't done anything after the credits.
On a different note, if you take the "cutscenes" as canon, does this mean that Big Boss effectively saved Central America with nothing more than a single M16 rifle and a buttload of ammo?

Then copy/paste the complete output in your bug report.
Mailing list
If you have general questions or bug reports you should use the Pcsclite-muscle mailing list.
First search the mailing list archives (old MUSCLE list archives). Maybe your probem has already been reported and solved. If you have not found a solution then subscribe to the Pcsclite-muscle mailing list and send your request to email@example.com.
Check reader's compliance to CCID specification
To know if a smart card reader is CCID compliant and should be supported by this driver but is not listed bellow
Just get the source code of this driver and do:
tar xjvf ccid-x.y.z.tar.bz2 cd ccid-x.y.z ./configure make sudo ./src/parse > output.txt
and send me (email@example.com) the generated
If your reader is CCID compliant and you would like to add it to the list of readers I would also need:

The main author is Ludovic Rousseau <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
I reused source code from other free software projects whose authors are:
- Carlos Prados for the PPS and ATR parsing code (taken from his
towitoto driver) in
directory. - Olaf Kirch for the T=1 TPDU code (from the OpenCT package) in
directory. I (Ludovic Rousseau) greatly improved this code.

Supported Operating Systems
GNU/Linux using libusb 1.0.x and later
Mac OS X
Apple includes my CCID driver (version 1.3.8, released in June 2008) since Leopard 10.5.6. See the mail from Shawn Geddis to have a list of changes.
See the evolutions of the CCID driver in Lion (10.7), Mountain Lion (10.8), Mavericks (10.9), Yosemite (10.10), El Capitan (10.11).
Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and later
Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) and later are supported without patches. To build the driver you need to extract the archive and do:
./MacOSX/configure make sudo make install
Leopard (10.5)
Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) is supported with a simple patch. To build the driver you need to extract the archive and do:
./MacOSX/configure make sudo make install
NOTE: The execution of ./MacOSX/configure
will fail if
you have a space character in your current working directory
NOTE: Apple's version of pcsc-lite installed with Leopard has many bugs and problems. See LeopardBugs for a list of known bugs.
Tiger (10.4)
Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) uses an old pcsc-lite with some problems:
- A missing call to
so the reader is not configured correctly regarding to the card ATR. - A wrong API for
so you can't use a pin pad reader or any other feature provided bySCardControl()
. - No way to generate a cold reset. Only a warm reset is
possible. Uncomment the line
to fake a card movement after a reset to simulate a cold reset. Note thatSCardReconnect()
will then fail withSCARD_W_REMOVED_CARD
You can use this (now unmaintained) patch.
The driver should work on Solaris.
I can't test is myself so patches are welcome if needed.
You can find a PC/SC-lite package form Oracle.
The driver is available in the libccid package or this freshport.

It ended another lifetime after it began, with the Baltimore Ravens gladly surrendering two points that meant nothing except to some lucky bettors in Vegas. One brother patted the other on the cheek and, just like that, the strangest Super Bowl you will ever see was finally over.
If football is a game of momentum, the San Francisco 49ers probably deserved a better fate. It took a blackout to get them going, only to have some pedestrian play calling with the game on the line finally finish them off.
This wasn't two coaching geniuses at their best, not even close. Their father, Jack, surely saw that from the stands, where he and his wife, Jackie, spent more than four hours trying their hardest not to root either way as their sons went up against each other on the biggest stage in football.
One, though, was better than the other, and in the end that was why the Ravens were holding the Lombardi trophy aloft in celebration while the 49ers filed quietly off the field.
Advantage, John.
Not that either coaching Harbaugh could be totally at fault in a game that went a whopping 4 hours and 14 minutes. Watch all the film you want, do all the planning you can, but nothing could prepare them for a 34-minute power outage that turned what was becoming a Ravens blowout into a thrilling game that could have lit up the Superdome just by the sheer energy of everyone involved.
Conspiracy theorists can rest easy, even if the Ravens couldn't rest until Ted Ginn Jr. was tackled on the final desperation play of the game. The investigation is ongoing, but the guess is there will be no evidence that panicked San Francisco fans somehow found their way into the bowels of the dome and flipped the lights off with their team trailing 28-6 in a third quarter unlike any in Super Bowl history.
The team that should have won did, mostly because the Ravens played with only a few mistakes while the 49ers kept making a ton of them.

Morton Salt Launches Online Design Competition to Showcase the Art of Salt
Brand Challenges Artists to Create Unique Designs for its Iconic Blue Package of Table Salt; Morton Salt to Donate $100,000 in Scholarships to Support the Arts in Recognition of Morton Salt Girl's 100th Birthday
Aug 06, 2014, 09:00 ET from Morton Salt, Inc.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Morton Salt has been helping America create delicious dishes in the kitchen for generations – and now, in honor of the Morton Salt Girl's 100th Birthday this year, the company is calling on artistic consumers to create unique designs for the label on its iconic blue table salt package.
Through Sept. 7, 2014, eligible consumers can create and enter their own designs into "The Art of Salt: Morton Salt Label Design Contest." Morton Salt is giving contest entrants a label template with the official Morton Salt logo so they can develop their unique design creations around it. The official rules, label template, design tools and prize details for the 6-week online competition are located at www.MortonArtofSalt.com.*
"The Morton Salt Girl made her debut on our blue package of table salt 100 years ago," said Shayn Wallace, Vice President of Morton Salt's Consumer and Industrial businesses. "In honor of her centennial, we wanted to give America an opportunity to reimagine the label that she has graced all these years."
He added: "We're essentially giving consumers a blank canvas to express themselves on our label. Whether they are professional or novice artists, we encourage them to enter the contest and show off their design chops."
The grand prize winner will receive two permanent pass tickets to attend Art Basel – one of the world's premier international art shows for modern and contemporary works – taking place Dec. 4-7, 2014 in Miami Beach, Fla. A $1,500 cash prize will also be awarded to the grand prize winner, along with a Morton Salt Prize Pack (see the official contest rules for prize details). Morton Salt will also award prizes to three runner-up winners.
Select designs will be unveiled and digitally showcased on the Magnificent Mile in Morton Salt's headquarters city of Chicago this fall. This celebration will enable thousands of Chicagoans and tourists to join the festivities, which will include giveaways, games, music and live cooking demonstrations.
Supporting the Arts
To show its support of the arts, Morton Salt is also donating $100,000 in scholarships to students "worth their salt." The company is sponsoring one hundred Morton Salt Girl Centennial Scholarships that will be awarded to select fine arts and culinary arts students enrolled at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and in Kendall College's School of Culinary Arts, respectively.
"An education in the arts helps students reach their creative potential and inspires them to see the world in new and unexpected ways, enriching our communities and neighborhoods everyday," said Walter Massey, President of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. "We are proud to work with an iconic brand like Morton Salt to support the development of young artists and designers in Chicago."
Recipients of the Morton Salt Girl Centennial Scholarships will be selected by the schools based on academic performance, financial need and other criteria.
"Kendall College and the Kendall College Trust are thrilled to be part of the Morton Salt Girl's 100th Birthday celebration this year," says Kendall College President, Emily Williams Knight. "We offer a top-rated learning environment for budding chefs and we're excited to partner with Morton Salt to provide students with this unique opportunity to study culinary arts. This partnership is a worthy investment that will have a positive effect on the culinary world overall."

General Question
I think I have Bipolar Disorder for 4 years and just realize it now. What should I do?
Asked by nerevars (221)
October 6th, 2013
For 4 years I have this extreme mood swings. At first, I thought people surround me are just being a jerk which makes me depressed. But, sometimes I feel so happy and full of energy. This makes me really awful and unproductive.
That makes me questioning about my life, do I have a sad life or a happy life? And then I stumble upon an article about this depression type.
So, do I need to go to psychiatrist? Since I think it gotten worse these day with stress from college and some family issue. Or is there something I can do myself to cure this mental illness?
I really want to live as a normal person and not dwelling in my sadness.

Next time you're running close to the deadline for returning a rental car and have to choose between a late fee or being penalized for not having a full gas tank, be sure that you're using the right per-gallon dollar amount when figuring out which will cost less. According to a new USA Today survey, the penalty for having to fill up a rental car's tank can now set you back over $9 per gallon.
The paper surveyed this pricing at 13 airports and found Hertz charging $9.29 a gallon, with some Dollar and Thrifty sites charging $8.99 a gallon. At these rates, the penalty for leaving a 35-gallon vehicle with an empty tank could set you back around $325.
USA Today also found that slightly more than half the rental sites surveyed offered pre-paid gas deals that charged less than what you'd pay at a local gas station. However, the article warns that, while you won't get penalized for returning the car with an empty tank, you also won't be credited for unused gasoline.

At the conference's football media kickoff Monday, Bowden told a room full of reporters that the ACC needs somebody to rise to the top.
The ACC hasn't had a national champion since Florida State in 1999. No ACC team has played in a national championship game since Florida State lost to Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2000 season.
"If you talk about the ACC the last few years, you've seen balance," Bowden said. "You ain't going to win a national championship with balance."

You would have a criminal record, potentially face jail time, probation or a conditional discharge (unsupervised probation), fines and community service or a combination of some of these.
If you are under 19 and have no priors, you won't have a criminal record but the above penalties still apply.
Ask your attorney what the conditions of the plea are.

If you are pleading guilty I am certain that it is in connection with some sort of plea bargain. As such you should know exactly what will happen and if you don't you shouldn't be pleading. At least not until everything is fully explained to you. If you plead guilty to these offenses, besides for whatever penalty will be imposed (and that can include jail time) you will have a criminal record that will follow you for life (NY does not expunge criminal convictions ever). You should be discussing this with your attorney and if you don't already have one - get one and don't do anything until you do.
You would face up to one year in jail and $1000 fine and you would have a permanent criminal record that could never be erased or expunged. This criminal conviction could affect future employment, credit, financial aid and immigration applications. When you plead guilty, you are giving up very important rights such as the right to have teh State prove your guilt, the right to testify on your own behalf and the right to confront witnesses against you. It should not be given up lightly and without good reason. Typically when you plead guilty, the punishment has been negotiated for you by your attorney so you know what to expect before giving up these rights. In some rare cases, defendants plead guilty and hope for leniency by the judge. Are these the total charges you face or are they being reduced from felony charges? You should hire a lawyer who may be able to negotiate a deal for you where you do not go to jail and can possibly avoid having a criminal record. Don't give up without a fight. Even if you made some mistakes you need an attorney who can help with damage control.

Josh was born with multiple challenges inside and out. His most obvious difference: no tibias. There was no bone connecting his knees to his feet, and he didn't pop out with 10 fingers and toes. "Our son actually had 26 digits all together because he had 7 digits on each foot and 6 digits on each hand," Laura explains.
"I've almost been through 8 surgeries. One was very difficult, Uhm heart surgery. I almost died, but i lived through it." Josh remembers.
At Children's Hospital Los Angeles Cardiologist Jackie Szmuszkovicz explains Josh was born with a defect that blocked blood flow, between his lungs and his heart. Now that he's recovered from open heart surgery, she marvels at how active he is today, "To me that's the most important sign that his heart is doing well.
Laura still remembers living with the fear of all that could go wrong. Why didn't it? "He hasn't learned to feel sorry for himself. Hasn't learned to be downtrodden," she says.
On the contrary, Josh sees himself as a role model. He's already competed in 3 triathalons to raise money for the Challenged Athlete Foundation., and he often meets with new amputees to showing them all that he's learned to do.

New Times / ArtThe following articles were printed from New Times [newtimesslo.com] - Volume 29, Issue 3
Locally produced children's film, 'The Incredible Adventures of JoJo,' debuts at Fremont TheaterBy JESSICA PENA
"This is not a film for overprotective parents; Boys use pocket knives; girls eat bugs." This is the audacious disclaimer that begins The Incredible Adventures of JoJo (and his annoying little sister Avila), a locally produced children's film that will make its debut at the Fremont Theater. It's an irreverent beginning to a movie that boldly challenges the common notions one may have about movies for kids. There are no princesses in need of a prince in The Adventures of JoJo; there are no animated, anthropomorphic vegetables with tales to tell; and, there is certainly no attempt at whitewashing any ugly elements. Instead, you will find images and situations that will put the modern parent in a state of nervous peril: car crashes, guns, mafia-type body dumps in the river, and wolves. So many wolves. "Imagine The Grey with Liam Neeson, but for kids," director/writer Brian Schmidt described over the phone. That's more or less what we're dealing with—a black comedy fairy tale adventure … for kids. In truth, The Incredible Adventures of JoJo may sound like Disney in the hands of Quentin Tarantino, but the story is relatively simple and lighthearted. It begins with JoJo—a rambunctious 6-year-old with a predilection for pissing on insects. At the outset of the movie, he, his little sister, Avila, and their mother are on the way to grandmother's house in the woods. They get there just fine, and everything seems hunky-dory. There's some quality, family time puzzling, and JoJo receives a gift from his grandma—his very own pocketknife! However, in the car, on the way home, disaster strikes! JoJo is playing with his new knife in the backseat; Avila grabs it, thinking the thing a new teething toy; their mother, naturally, freaks out, and the car careens off the road, crashing into a wooded ditch and leaving the mother bleeding and unconscious. The next morning, JoJo barely bats an eye at his injured mother before setting out on an adventure that includes hobo hijinks, poopy pajamas, a fantastical mountain of couches, and a literal cliffhanger. "We want parents to squirm in their seats," Schmidt's wife and co-director/writer, Ann-Marie Plastino said. Her husband agrees: "The film is a kid's movie, but it's almost more geared for adults. Parents watching it, it puts them on edge. I feel like my wife and I are trying to entertain ourselves more than anybody else." Both Plastino and Schmidt had always wanted to make a film. The former graduated from Cal Arts with a background in animation, while the latter grew up on the Central Coast and attended Cal Poly. They both shared a sense that kids movies had become overly sanitized and far too safe. So, they wrote a script, saved money, cast their family, and set out on their own filmmaking journey that would last about five years. "We wanted to make this a different kind of kids movie," Schmidt said. "When we grew up, our parents were like, 'Come home when the street lights come on.' This is for parents who aren't worried about you falling out of a tree, but more worried about kids not climbing trees." Indeed, the entire enterprise is rife with this sense of edgy, nostalgia-driven playfulness. From the film's whimsical visual effects to its daring action sequences, The Adventures of JoJo exudes the kind of homespun adventures that would make Mark Twain proud. For example, in the film's opening sequence, as the mother is driving to grandmother's house, they pass another car on a bridge. Innocuous enough. But then, we see something a little shady. The car slows down, and a band of crooked characters appear, spouting smoke and toting baseball bats. Then, they dump a suspiciously human-sized bag of cargo out of the trunk and into the river. "She lived in a magical, far-away place … where one could go to dump their troubles," the narrator describes. It's inappropriate, sure, but it's cheeky in a way that charms more than it offends.
The same goes for the film's characters and story. Both walk the delicate line between gratuitous shock and the realistic grit of everyday life. Sure, the grandmother may be a gambling, rough n' tumble type who scares off squatters with a shotgun, but she's also a sweet, concerned type who plays cards with her grandkids and calls the cops when they go missing. The same goes for the titular JoJo. He may pee on spiders, he may leave his sister in the claws of a wolf trap, but he cares for her. At least, he ends up caring for her, in the end. And, that's the overall feeling you take away from The Adventures of JoJo. It's a personal story, and a very personal film, about a boy, his family, the adventures of growing up, and a hobo who eats canned pet food. "We want kids to see how much fun the world outside can be," Schmidt and Plastino explained. "We want to be adventurous and experience life. There's so much to live for. Every now and then, just shut off your screens, and enjoy the world around you." Jessica Peña pees on bugs, and eats them (in that order) at email@example.com. |

I had the great pleasure of visiting the WWI Memorial and museum today.
Don't miss this museum.
It is one of the best of it's kind I have ever seen.
The some KC BBQ!
Then a quick stop at a cigar store.
And the Cathedral.

I haven't seen the KC WWI museum, but I think the Imperial War Museum in London would give it a run for its money.
They have a mockup of a WWI trench that you can actually walk through. And of course it's not limited to WWI. You can also sit in a Spitfire or a Matilda tank, view Chamberlain's "piece of paper", and so forth.
My grandfather was a WWI vet. Barely. Never saw combat because the Armistice was signed while he was on the troopship on the way 'over there'. They turned around and came back, much to everybody's relief.
My grandmother wound up being the combat vet. She was a bacteriologist at the Medical College of Georgia (Augusta) during the '18 flu pandemic. They were dying faster there than at Bloody Belleau Wood. In later life, she was fanatic about sanitation and germs, and we kids almost washed the skin off our hands at their house. But now that I'm older I understand perfectly.
Looks like a great museum. Why is it in KC?
I lost two Great Uncles in the Great War, fortunately my Grandfather survived.
Almost four years ago I, along with 150 other Canadians, was selected from over 6,000 applicants to take part in the filming of a documentary on the Great War. We lived in camp, filmed battle scenes and even spent a night in the trenches. An experience of a lifetime.
I have always been fascinated the geopolitcs, strategy, tactics etc. with the Great War.
Don't waste your time with Gate's BBQ. All hype.
For those visiting KC, the only BBQ worth your time are Arthur Bryant's old location, and Rosedale. There are several smaller joints that are decent.
I've never understood why they can't make good BBQ in other parts of the country? Its not exactly rocket science…although the locals here treat it that way! :-)
Jack in KC
I wonder how many visitors the World War I memorial gets. World War I hasn't the glamor of World War II.
What military battle in *all* US history caused the highest battlefield casualties? (Hint: It didn't happen in WWII, or even during the so-called Civil War.)
That battle was the Meuse-Argonne (September 26 to November 11, 1918). These six weeks produced 26,277 American deaths and wounded another 95,786. The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery at Romagne, France, is the largest American cemetery in Europe with 14,246 graves. Sadly, it is said to receive relatively few American visitors.
My Catholic grandfather fought in five major campaigns in France in 1918, including the Meuse-Argonne.
Few take notice of these men today. It's a dishonorable shame when the sacrifices of brave men are so completely forgotten by their countrymen.
Oh, Father. The life you lead! BBQ, cigar stores, historical museums, important churches. . . I've tried on occasion to emulate your style of doing things. You are truly unique in creation and a blessing to all!
You said in another thread you keep this going because of so many of us (I hope I can be counted among them, although I am a humble and lowly sacred musician) who do what we do. But know that you keep US going because of all YOU do!
Yes, Father Z, which barbeque place did you visit?
(Unlike Jack, Gates was my favorite while I was working in KC, a number of years back. Don't know where Bryant's "original location" is, but I wasn't impressed by the one that I went to.)
And, btw, there *is* good BBQ elsewhere in the country, but I think that it's just that KC is well-known, historically, for having it — and having a particular style!
"And, btw, there is good BBQ elsewhere in the country"
Do tell, where?
Many people would love to know… :-)
Well, there's no accounting for taste. :-)
Jack in KC
BTW, Arthur Bryant's is down at 18th & Brooklyn. Their newer, "suburban" locations leave much to be desired, much like the suburbs themselves.
Mike, ejc:
My undergraduate major was history, with a specialty in military history, so of course I'm aware of the price that was paid in the Great War – or the War to End War – or the Prelude to World War II . . . .
But what really brought it home to me was when we were in Scotland, and happened to pass through the little town (really more of a village) of Aberfeldy (as in Robert Burns's song "The Birks of Aberfeldy").
On the path leading up to the famous birch wood stands the war memorial. The face is completely covered with the names of the men who gave their lives in the Great War . . . and down at the bottom in two little panels are the handful who gave their lives in World War II. There were not that many left to give.
– from Roll-of-Honour.com
Or as I read somewhere, "I knew that all Mum's boyfriends but Dad had been killed in the Great War, and all Auntie's . . . but I didn't really understand what that meant until I saw the graves at Passchendaele . . . . "
When I was a little kid, my Mom and Dad used to take me to a BBQ place caled "The Levee" somewhere in KC (we lived in Prairie Village). There was an amazing old "One Man Band" performer named Virgil Hill who played there. This was in the early 70's. I moved away when I was in 7th grade….
Gates has the best burnt ends, hands down. Bryant's original is one of the best (and the oldest). Rosedale is ok with their sausage, but lately the brisket has been pretty flat. Smokin' Joe's has a great sauce, and their beans, oh yeah. I have been addicted to Gates burnt ends for years, they are my special occasion treat (imagine eating them regularly, I am already round enough).
Too bad we did not have a blognic, I had some bread dough ready for baking for the Squirrel and you.
In Newfoundland where I live it is the "Great War" that has all the mystique not WWII. At the time of the war Newfoundland was a separate country. On July 1, 1916 on the first day of the Battle of the Somme the Newfoundland Regiment went "over the top" in the third wave. Within 30 minutes 710 officers and ordinary ranks were either killed, wounded, or missing. For the Regimental rollcall the next morning only 68 men answered the call. Newfoundland was, and still is, a sparsely populated. The first day of the Somme, or Beaumont-Hamel touched almost every town and village in the country. July 1st is still Memorial Day in Newfoundland.
That is for sure a Jack Stack's BBQ plate. I live in KC and this is one of the classiest and best tasting BBQ places in the area.
Fr. Z,
History museums, BBQ places, cigar shops and Cathedrals!!
No wonder I read this blog!
IMHO, Fiorella's rules. The Baked Beans are without equal, also their Poor Russ (Mixed) Burnt Ends. And had some ribs from Oklahoma Joe's (now THE Johnson County Bar B Q) a few days after Christmas, and they were excellent.
Agree about Gates, but the sauce is superb.
I lived in KC from 81-86 and used to go to Bryant's every month. After he died, however, I think the quality went down.
Canada contributed all out of proportion to her manpower, especially the Scots-Canadians in the Atlantic provinces. Kudos.
By the way, I have three of the Lesser St. John's Dogs — or at least their lineal descendants. Good dogs too.
And the pipe tune "The Battle of the Somme" is one of the prettiest and most plaintive airs ever composed.
Always felt a little frivolous dancing the Scottish Lilt to it in competition, given its history.
Looks like a great museum. Why is it in KC?
Because Kansas City already had one of the few significant existing WWI memorials in the US. (This is the obelisk-type thing in Fr. Z's pics–aka the Liberty Memorial.) It was dedicated around the mid 1920s with the US President (Coolidge?), Gen. Pershing and Marshal Foch all in attendance. What was once know as the Great War is now probably the forgotten war for most Americans–living as we do in the shadow of events of WWII.
Also of interest in Kansas City is the Arabia Steamboat Museum: http://www.1856.com/
I've never been to anything like it.
Virgil Hill was a childhood mentor of mine. He would allow me, then a ten year old trumpet player, to sit in with him. He was quite the character, with his collection of instruments. He played some better than others; his real instrument was the sax.
He broke the color barrier in quite a few KC clubs; paving the way for many black musicians that followed.
Thanks for the blast from the past!
Jack in KC
He was quite old by the time I met him…the last place I remember seeing him was at a pizza house called "Zeppy's"….don't know exactly where it was because I was a kid and didn't drive yet. I liked that he used a pianola (player piano) to accompany himself, and would then play the drums with his feet and then solo on sax, trumpet or whatever. Kinda a "low tech" version of the guy that plays in the Mall with a midi-setup. It was extremely entertaining. He loved to talk to kids and show them the instruments, and yes, he had a lot of them!
Dave, Smithsonian magazine had an article about the recovery of the Arabia when they were first taking the artifacts out of the ground. It looks like they've done a great job putting the museum together.
We do have a false idea of the sights of that era because of the old black and white photography. The actual colors of the time seem garish to us (mostly because coal tar dyes had just been discovered, but also because we haven't seen them, or only see them faded and yellowed in Gramma's breakfront drawer).
Speaking of Canada and World War I: when I visited a priest friend in Quebec City in 1994, he told me that one of his grandfathers participated in anti-British riots because the French-Canadians thought it was none of their business to get involved in "England's War'.
But then, if the French-Canadians didn't fight in France, we wouldn't have heard of Georges Vanier, the first French-speaking Governor-General of Canada and now a candidate for Sainthood! He was a decorated hero of World War I-he lost a leg in the process!
I didn't even know there was a major World War I memorial in the US, Fr. Z-you get to visit such fascinating places!
American Mother,
The museum is outstanding, as is the story of those intrepid and persistent enough to think there was a actually steamship buried in what eventually became a corn field. As I recall there is an interesting video about it on the website.
irishgirl: My host while I was there really knows the city well. That is a great advantage!
I had exactly two archaeology courses in college, but the whole idea of digging up the past is fascinating to me. It's wonderful to see things that lay untouched and perfectly preserved for years.
More Bryant stories:
When AB was alive, he used to buy a new Cadillac every year and give the old one to Richard, who cooked during the night. One night Richard got into the beer, fell asleep, and his boots caught on fire. Someone else got the Caddy that year.
The key to Bryant's fries was that after the brisket had been smoked, the fat would be trimmed and thrown into the fryer, giving the fries their unique smoky flavor.
When the one of the Presidents (I think it was Carter) was in town, his staff called up Bryant's to ask that some of his Bar B Q be delivered. AB replied that he didn't cater–bring him down. They did.
Once there was a very Waspish couple in front of me in line. Their son (probably a student) had enthusiastically brought them there. Bryant's is anything but fancy, and I could tell that the mother did not share her son's enthusiasm. Between them and me was a drunk guy. Anyway, the couple approached the windows, where each customer takes a plastic plate, all of which looked as if they had long outlived their use. The mother picked up one, then another, than another. Finally, the drunk guy said, "Ain't no use lookin' 'cause ain't none of 'em clean."
It was necessary to step carefully at the cash register because the floor there always seemed slick from the grease.
AB, who died in 82 at the age of 80, was a college grad. He intentionally kept the prices down as a tribute to his clientele. I once saw an interview with him where it was mentioned that he was a very successful businessman. His answer had nothing to do with money. He said, "You see all those people out there eating. They're my friends–that's why I'm a successful businessman.
When Arthur Bryant died, there was an article of him in the London Times (reprinted in the KC Star).
Another Bar B Q story, though not from Bryant's.
During college a group of us decided to drive home after midnight to get a BBQ sandwich or chili mac at a place in our hometown. It was about 2:00 am when we arrived. There was a big black guy making sandwiches, and he told us that white people can't make good BBQ sauce because they don't sweat enough.
Father Z-yes, it does help to know someone who knows where all the good spots are!
When you're talking about a BBQ joint, you just can't be finicky. As my grandmother used to say, "Honey, everybody's got to eat their peck of dirt before they die."
Our local joint is Harold's – always crammed full at lunchtime with cops, truckdrivers and government types. Harold was a local character (maybe that's a job qualification for running a BBQ joint?) and his family has continued to run the place in the same old way (probably including the shotgun under the counter, but nobody knows for sure).
I'll take Gates over Bryants any day of the week. Way better sause at Gates IMHO, but Bryants probably does have better meat. Bryant's sause way to vinigary. But Oklahoma Joe's or LC's over both Gates & Bryants.
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Update: Fort Defiance's New Dinner Menu
Since the Voice's Fort Defiance review ran, owner St. John Frizell has added a proper dinner menu, so we headed to Red Hook to check it out this weekend. Frizell is a master of coziness and simplicity--he knows what would hit the spot, and serves it without fuss. When the weather was hot, he slung plates like blue fish rillettes and deviled eggs, along with refreshing cocktails like a cucumber-infused Tom Collins in a huge frosted glass. It was just exactly what you wanted--but it was difficult to piece together a dinner from the small plates offered in the evening. Now the nighttime menu features a handful of hearty, main-dish-sized plates, which change every few days.
On Friday night, we were tempted by the rabbit stroganoff but ended up ordering the creamy pumpkin soup topped with stewed black kale and crisp, inch-long shards of bacon, along with the frisee salad tossed with almonds, figs and yogurt dressing. We also tried the crunchy-skinned Spanish mackerel (Frizell seems very aware of sustainable fish issues) with braised celery. All of it was cooked and seasoned with care, warming and satisfying to eat.
The cocktail menu has been re-vamped for cold-weather drinking, offering more brown spirit concoctions (like a very good Manhattan) and "Hot Helpers," including Irish coffee, and a ridiculously delicious Kentucky nightcap--steamed milk, bourbon and vanilla.
Earlier last week, Doree Shafrir Twittered that Fort Defiance was nearly empty, and speculated about whether the restaurant could survive the long Red Hook winter. But happily, on Friday night the place was hopping, with every table and bar stool occupied.

Absinthe is disgusting, but the spoons are fabulous. I want to buy these. |
This blog is a tool to get over my irrational fear of anyone actually reading my writing. You will find entries on writing, books, and whatever else falls out of my head. There are also lots of entries on possums. I am losing the war against possums. Send help.
All the cool kids - Paris, 1920s Source |
Absinthe is disgusting, but the spoons are fabulous. I want to buy these. |
My teenage self thought it would be as simple as writing a book in one go and getting it published. BAM.
Then, the reality of what "getting it published" actually entails means only now, after nearly a decade of work, am I ready to start querying.
But I do enjoy writing in coffee shops :P Nooooot in Paris though... I should go back to Paris... hmm...
I've been to Paris. It was cold, grey, and I had the flu. So not exactly what I'd hoped... I did learn that over the counter medication in Paris is fantastic. No prescription? Don't speak the language? Fine, have the children's strength medication with steroids. Awesome!
A part of me is glad the publication process is so arduous. That way it feels like those of us still in the race can all win. We lost the people with no drive at the first fence. (I think this race is a steeple chase.)
I love your turn of phrase, Jen - you're my kinda woman! Shame you're an evil super villainess, but wait... don't super heroes good and bad usually wear skin-tight lycra or rubber? Hmmm?
Anyway,you said 'wanker', so in my books that makes you almost super cool. ;)
LOL. I told someone just the other day that I was supposed to be a tortured alcoholic...'cause then I'd be a real writer. But I didn't mean it. Although a margarita sounds really good right now. And I'm definitely buying a beanie hat.
ReplyDeleteIf blogging is the new Paris cafe, let's all order some French bread and share a few bottles of wine.
ReplyDeleteWith berets on...and, um, with knives in our belts in case Hemingway shows up.
DeleteMC, if we don't order the bread we might be able to afford more wine. Just a thought! :)
DeleteThat's a hell of a video! I love the response about needing an extra two chairs for his giant intellect.
I'm trying to track down an old Monty Python sketch. I'm sure it was them! It was an obituary for some great writer and it ended with saying something like he'd gone the way he always wanted, gored to death by Hemingway in a Pamplona cafe.
I can definitely see you going after Hemingway like Cavett.
And the woman in the video is Janet Flanner. She actually was in those cafes with Hemingway, and you can see she learned to spar with the best.
When I was a teenager, I thought a writer was someone who sat typing at a computer and did one, maybe two drafts before the publishers jumped up and grabbed it. I guess the sitting at the computer part is true...
ReplyDeleteOMG. I could totally see you in toga. The goth look is harder to imagine, but long ago in another time I too was a teenager. Knives and Ernest still terrify me.
Love this.
Have you seen "Midnight in Paris"? Live out those fantasies, if only for 2 hours.
I wanted to be a full-time author when I grew up, and I have faith I'll get there one day. Like Miss Cole I was naive but I suppose it will make the realisation of the dream that much sweeter if and when it happens.
I didn't want to be a writer when I grew up. I wanted to be an artist (same bunch of 1920's cool kids, same beret, same idiotic goth girl watching german art house films (without subtitles) in the Village and smoking clove cigarettes) I went to art school then to art grad school and THEN realized I didn't want to make art. So by the time I came to writing, I was grown up enough to know that writing in my pjs while playing catch with my daughter and drinking tea (I agree with you on those absinthe spoons!) was exactly as good as it gets. I hope to be published. I hope to sustain this writing life a long, long time. That's the extent of my expectations. to keep going. And to never smoke another nasty, dung filled clove cigarette again.
ReplyDeleteOh god, clove cigarettes! That takes me back. They were absolutely disgusting, weren't they? Oh, the only reason I picked writer over artist was that I have absolutely no artistic talent at all, but I decided I could fake writer better.
And I like your expectation to sustain a writing life a long, long time. That sums it up for me as well!

Please give us some idea "dollar wise" of your budget - terms like "budget quite narrow" are meaningless without a point of reference. If you tell us the amounts you want to spend for airfare, accommodations and food it will make it easier to steer you in the right direction. i can tell you that from my experience you can find accommodation to meet almost any reasonable budget (be it high or low) on just about every island. You just have to be flexible in what you are seeking and willing to make some concessions. Don't expect to to find 5-star accommodations for 3-star prices, especially if you are traveling in February which is still High Season in the Caribbean.
Check out Accra Beach Hotel (www.accrabeachhotel.com) on Barbados - it may fit your needs and budget.
Actually, the beaches on St. Lucia are quite picturesque but they do have darker sand. You have to tell us what "postcard like means to you. FYI - Both Barbados and Grenada have attractive beaches with lighter sand. I can't comment on the beaches on Trinidad or Tobago as I've never been to those islands. I can tell you that there are not too many Trinidad & Tobago afficinados on this forum.
With a 2 1/2 YO you might want to confine your search to islands you can reach non-stop from your nearest International Gateway airport simple because they are easier to get to. Again, if you tell us where you are flying from we can offer better suggestions. -

Thanks for your comments!
We are flying from London with BA (need to use som BA miles soon ending) so I´m kind of stuck with their destinations, Antigua And Barbuda, Barbados Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts And Nevis, Saint Lucia, Trinidad And Tobago, Turks And Caicos Islands.
Budget. Airflight already covered and for accomadation I was hoping to get away with 100-150 a night. I know the price generally are a lot higher than that so it mmight be hard to find. However we are flexible and hopefully won´t spend som much time at th room and for that price I sure don´t expect any 5-star resort. However it would be great if there is a pool. We have travelled Thailand and Asia a lot and the hotel standads there, I would think, are somewhat lower so we are not lloking for highend accomodation.
To give you an idea of one that I´ve looked at (St Lucia): http://www.coco-resorts.com/
"Postcard".. well I guess I mean turqouise water, white coralsand beaches and palms
Since BA doesn´t fly to Aruba I´m afraid that isn´t an option. -
Report Abuse
Jamaica and Dominican Republic probably are your best chance of finding what you want within your price range, but DR is almost all AI's. You might look on the beach in Negril, Jamaica there seem to be quite a few smaller, casual properties that might fit your budget. I have been to every other island you mentioned (except Trinidad & Tobago) and nothing in that price range comes to mind, but I am more familiar with resorts. Another suggestion -- try skyauction.com. For example Oualie Beach Hotel in Nevis is on there right now and has been going for a bargain rate and that hotel would be a good choice for you (fly to St. Kitts and take the ferry if you can't get direct to Nevis). For our March 2010 vacation to Barbados we got a great resort for 1/3 the rack rate using skyauction. There have been a number of nice properties in Grenada on there as well.

Thanks for your comment!
I´m curious about skyaucion. Could you pls tell me a little abt how it works?
I tried to figure it out but...
If I look at a hotel and it says "buy this/buy it now" for $39. Does that mean that it will be $39 per person and night? Seems like a very low price considering it goes with all inclusive... Two persons for two weeks just above $1100? I take it thats not how it is so could you pls fill in the blanks for me. If I´d like to buy a stay for two persons for 14 days, do I then buy a quantity of two and then later decide the dates? What if the dates I require are not available.
Much appreciated! -

Turks & Caicos or Grand Cayman. Both islands can be pricey but you can do it on a budget especially if you stay in a condo. Try VRBO.com

i agree with others that your budget of $100 to $150/night is on the low side for February travel. While doable, you'll have to make some concessions such as hotel/resort location, size of rooms, etc. Stay flexible and you should find something.
You mentioned a Postcard beach as being "turqouise water, white coralsand beaches and palms" well that's going to limit your choice of island. Scratch St. Kitts & Nevis, most of Puerto Rico and St. lucia off your list. The beaches on those islands are, for the most part, dark sand and the waters, because of their relative depth, lack the bright turquoise you are seeing. Concentrate instead on the coral/limestone based islands like Grand Cayman (warning this island is considered a pricey destination) and the Turks & Caicos as these islands are noted for their white sand beaches. Grenada also has parts that have lighter colored sand as does Barbados.
Regarding the Turks & Caicos - Grace bay on Providenciales (where 95% of the resorts in the island chain are located) has an abundance of "condo resorts" that are perfect for families. The beach stretches for some 11 miles and is pure "sugar white" with the brightest turquoise blue water you could ever imagine. The water is calm making it safe for your toddler. Most of the condos also have pools. For starters check out Ocean Club or Ocean Club West. -

I suggest you read everything carefully on skyauction and I do not suggest you use the buy it now feature, the big deals are to be had when you bid. Each auction is a bit different, some prices are per person, some per room and you want to make sure that the auction covers the dates you want. You can set yourself up as a member and track auctions you are interested in. You can put in an auto bid but I wouldn't do that too early -- the best thing to do is wait until close to the end of the auction and then bid. Keep in mind someone else may have put an autobid in -- you want to try to figure out if there is an autobid in before you put your autobid in as otherwise it would immediately run the price up too early. Look at the bid history to see how many people are bidding, you can usually gage the interest that way. I usually make a few earlier bids in very small increments to see if there's an autobid in. Hope this helps I am not an expert but this worked for me. Also, keep in mind a lot of the properties are offered again after the auction closes so you don't have to go crazy bidding the first time. We tracked the property we were interested in a few times to see about where the winning bids were coming in. Also watch the service charges many of the AI's have additional charges per person per night.

@ Kristen.
I´ve heard many good things of T&C. Will have that in mind. Thanks.
@ Roamsaround
Budget is low I am aware of that and of course I realise that I have to make concessions. Will most certainly see what I can find in the islands you recommend. Thanks!
I will look around and see if I can figure out how it works. Even if the auction covers the dates I´m interested in, the hotel might be full booked once I try to make a reservation. Can you then undo the buy or do you have to try to find another date?
Also I was wondering if it is possilble to see previous auctions winning bids? -
Report Abuse
Yes, if you track the action as a member, then when the auction is complete you can click on it and see the winning bid. Also, if you win an auction, what happens is you give your dates to skyauction, as I understand it, if they can't fulfill the dates (as long as they are within the stated timeframe indicated in the auction) then you do not pay.
Report Abuse
T&C is prefect for kids IMO. Sand is like baby powder, water is usually calm and crystal clear and if it's not calm on Grace Bay just head to Sapodilla where it is shallow and guaranteed to be calm. It's a very easy island to get around, restaurants are good, snorkeling close to shore and the people are very friendly.
BUT the island is in the Northern Caribbean so there is the possibility it may not be super warm in Feb (but it may be just fine!). If there is any way you can wait until low season starts (usually 2nd half of April) accomodations will be much less expensive. -
Report Abuse
April is unfortunately a little bit to late since the best part of this vacation is to get away from the swedish winter...
T&C is on the list of destinations when I check BA´s website but when I try to check reservation it´s not possible to choose T&C. Will have to call them tomorrow I think. Comment has been removed by Fodor's moderators

A flat antenna is proposed for the Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) reception. The flat antenna which is high efficiency and high gain planar antenna comprises many small antenna elements in its surface. Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna is one kind of the flat antenna which is another alternative feature that can be use to replace the conventional parabolic antenna. This project involves the study of the characteristics effects of the flat (RLSA) antenna by developing the test-bed for calibration between the DBS receiver and the flat (RLSA) antenna for Direct Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) application in Ku band frequency. In order to evaluate the performance of RLSA antenna in the setup, one of the conventional components e.g. using offset parabolic antenna, that is provided by ASTRO broadcasting company and another one is replace the offset antenna with RLSA antenna test-bed respectively. The performance result had been compared which is given by the manufacturer to show that the RLSA antenna is comparable to the commercially offset parabolic antenna.

Hey hey
Its my birthday! 27 whole years old. My mom happily reminded me that I'm now in my late 20s. So kind. But truly, 26 was an incredible year, one that I will remember forever. But I plan on making 27 even better.
Last night I went to dinner and celebrated with my ladies, tonight I'm going out to dinner at my favorite restaurant with Spence (and maybe making a stop at the outdoor Christmas market), tomorrow lunch in the burbs with my family and Sunday night dinner with the rest of my family. How lucky am I? And yes, all celebrations revolve around eating.
Have a great weekend! xo
