How does a Houston murder defense lawyer help you?
In case you find yourself in a soup due to charges of murder or manslaughter against you, finding the right lawyer for yourself should be the first and foremost step. It is not possible to get acquitted of all charges alone. Just the thought of being in the prison and visiting the court is enough to make people feel sick and helpless. You definitely need the backing of someone who can represent your case in front of the jury and plead them to believe your innocence. You need the support of a Houston murder defense lawyer who is well equipped with the knowledge of the law and will try everything possible to get you out with respect.
There may be certain unfortunate situations when you may be wrongly framed for charges as heinous as manslaughter. It is tough to prove innocence in such times because everyone seems to be against you. It takes a second for your reputation to get maligned. To save you in such times of distress and guide you about your rights and the steps you can take, all you need is the best Houston manslaughter defense attorney. He will be your pillar of support and fight aggressively till the end so that your freedom and reputation is restored at the end of all these hassles.
Your Houston murder defense lawyer knows how to approach the case and pick up the strong points of the case to fight in the court. The lawyer highlights certain facts or arguments that can lessen or even mitigate the charges against you. There are loads of tasks done by the murder defense lawyer while fighting a case. He or she is the person who presents the witnesses in your defense and cross examines the witnesses produced against you by the prosecution. In addition to such tasks, defense lawyers may often negotiate a deal or a plea bargain with the prosecutor to do away with a few or all of the charges against you. Or in case you have been found and proved guilty in court your lawyer may plead effectively to reduce your sentence.
It is not unlikely to suffer from emotional or nervous breakdowns when there is a manslaughter case going on against you. Having the support of an efficient Houston manslaughter defense attorney is of great emotional help too. You feel positive and confident about the case and begin to see a ray of hope. Moreover, a defense lawyer will point out all the important rules, regulations and clauses in the law which you would never be able to understand on your own. You may possess certain rights which you are completely unaware of. Your lawyer has all the necessary knowledge of the written as well as the unwritten laws. He can help you save time and money by taking the right steps at the right time. It is impossible for a defendant who chooses to defend him alone to take care of such detailed nuances of the case. In all probability, he or she may end up taking the wrong step and get hassled for long years in the court proceedings or suffer a harsh sentence. To end such horrid possibilities, go to a strong and competent murder defense lawyer and secure the chances of winning the case.

The goal of this paper is very similar to that of Google Dapper (you can read my summary of Google Dapper here). Both work try to figure out bottlenecks in performance in high fanout large-scale Internet services. Both work use similar methods, however this work (the mystery machine) tries to accomplish the task relying on less instrumentation than Google Dapper. The novelty of the mystery machine work is that it tries to infer the component call graph implicitly via mining the logs, where as Google Dapper instrumented each call in a meticulous manner and explicitly obtained the entire call graph.
The motivation for this approach is that comprehensive instrumentation as in Google Dapper requires standardization....and I am quoting the rest from the paper:
[Facebook systems] grow organically over time in a culture that favors innovation over standardization (e.g., "move fast and break things" is a well-known Facebook slogan). There is broad diversity in programming languages, communication middleware, execution environments, and scheduling mechanisms. Adding instrumentation retroactively to such an infrastructure is a Herculean task. Further, the end-to-end pipeline includes client software such as Web browsers, and adding detailed instrumentation to all such software is not feasible.
While the paper says it doesn't want to interfere with the instrumentation, of course it has to interfere to establish a minimum standard in the resulting collection of individual software component logs, which they call UberTrace. (Can you find a more Facebooky name than UberTrace---which the paper spells as ÜberTrace, but I spare you here---?)
UberTrace requires that log messages contain at least:In order not to incur a lot of overhead, UberTrace uses a low sampling rate of all requests to Facebook. But this necessitates another requirement on the logging:
1. A unique request identifier.
2. The executing computer (e.g., the client or a particular server)
3. A timestamp that uses the local clock of the executing computer
4. An event name (e.g., "start of DOM rendering").
5. A task name, where a task is defined to be a distributed thread of control.
UberTrace must ensure that the individual logging systems choose the same set of requests to monitor; otherwise the probability of all logging systems independently choosing to monitor the same request would be vanishingly small, making it infeasible to build a detailed picture of end-to-end latency. Therefore, UberTrace propagates the decision about whether or not to monitor a request from the initial logging component that makes such a decision through all logging systems along the path of the request, ensuring that the request is completely logged. The decision to log a request is made when the request is received at the Facebook Web server; the decision is included as part of the per-request metadata that is read by all subsequent components. UberTrace uses a global identifier to collect the individual log messages, extracts the data items enumerated above, and stores each message as a record in a relational database.
The mystery machineTo infer the call graph from the logs, the mystery machine starts with a call graph hypothesis and refines it gradually as each log trace provides some counterexample. Figure 1 and Figure 2 explain how the mystery machine generates the model via large scale mining of UberTrace.
For the analysis in the paper, they use traces of over 1.3 million requests to the Facebook home page gathered over 30 days. Was the sampling rate enough, statistically meaningful? Figure 3 says yes.
We know that for large scale Internet services, a single request may invoke 100s of (micro)services, and that many services can lead to 80K-100K relationships as shown in Figure 3. But it was still surprising to see that it took 400K traces for the call graph to start to converge to its final form. That must be one heck of a convoluted spaghetti of services.
FindingsThe mystery machine analysis is performed by running parallel Hadoop jobs.
Figure 5 is why critical path identification is important. Check the ratios on the right side.
How can we use this analysis to improve Facebook's performance?As Figure 9 showed, some users/requests have "slack" (another technical term this paper introduced). For the users/requests with slack, the server time constitutes only a very small fraction of the critical path, which the network- and client-side latencies dominate.
And there are also a category of users/requests with no slack. For those, the server time dominates the critical path, as the network- and client-side latencies are very low.
This suggests a potential performance improvement by offering differentiated service based on the predicted amount of slack available per connection:
By using predicted slack as a scheduling deadline, we can improve average response time in a manner similar to the earliest deadline first real-time scheduling algorithm. Connections with considerable slack can be given a lower priority without affecting end-to-end latency. However, connections with little slack should see an improvement in end-to-end latency because they are given scheduling priority. Therefore, average latency should improve. We have also shown that prior slack values are a good predictor of future slack [Figure 11]. When new connections are received, historical values can be retrieved and used in scheduling decisions. Since calculating slack is much less complex than servicing the actual Facebook request, it should be feasible to recalculate the slack for each user approximately once per month.
Some limitations of the mystery machineThis approach assumes that the call graph is acyclic. With their request id based logging, they cannot handle the same event, task pair to appear multiple times for the same request trace.
This approach requires normalizing/synchronizing local clock timestamps across computers. It seems like they are doing offline post-hoc clock synchronization by leveraging the RPC calls. (Does that mean further instrumentation of the RPC calls?)
Since all log timestamps are in relation to local clocks, UberTrace translates them to estimated global clock values by compensating for clock skew. UberTrace looks for the common RPC pattern of communication in which the thread of control in an individual task passes from one computer (called the client to simplify this explanation) to another, executes on the second computer (called the server), and returns to the client. UberTrace calculates the server execution time by subtracting the latest and earliest server timestamps (according to the server's local clock) nested within the client RPC. It then calculates the client-observed execution time by subtracting the client timestamps that immediately succeed and precede the RPC. The difference between the client and server intervals is the estimated network round-trip time (RTT) between the client and server. By assuming that request and response delays are symmetric, UberTrace calculates clock skew such that, after clock-skew adjustment, the first server timestamp in the pattern is exactly 1/2 RTT after the previous client timestamp for the task.This work also did not consider mobile users; 1.19 billion of 1.39 billion users are mobile users.

*AD|Taking photos in Winter is difficult. Grey or white skies, winter sunshine, rainfall and dark earthy colours really add difficulty to taking a good balanced photograph. I mainly take photographs outside so winter is a real struggle for me. I have recently made an effort to actually try and get outside with my camera, instead of avoiding taking photos until spring when the weather improves. But of course when I went out to take some wintery photos the winter sun came out and everything looked a lot brighter (thanks English weather). Here is a little information and tips…
I don't think it really matters what equipment you use for your photography as there are so many good quality products on the market today. From your trusty Iphone camera you can take some really good quality photos. For blogging and Instagram, a lot of my 'photography pictures' are taken with my Sony A5000. It's portable, not too pricey and really light weight. It can take some cracking photos for such a small digital camera. If you're looking for a more fancy digital camera you will want to look at Panasonic Mirrorless Cameras they hold a lot more settings and options for you to play around with and would be able to cope with a winter setting a lot better than other options. Below is a similar picture from my iPhone and camera. Same photo, and equally good quality… Number 1 is from my A5000 and the second is from my iPhone 8. I almost think the iPhone one is better?!
Camera Settings, Technique & Lighting:
To be honest I mainly just use the simple settings on my camera and keep it on auto or macro depending if I'm taking close up shots. I just find this gives me the best picture without me spending hours sorting out the ISO and levels whilst stood out in the freezing cold. When taking photos, I like to have a focal point in each of my photos. A focal point draws the eyes attention, it could be anything from a sheep, end of a lane or something in the distance that draws you in. There is a photography rule called the 'rule of 3rds', that I try to follow, I won't get to into it too much now but its worth a google. Here is an image where I have followed that rule as it is supposed to create a pleasing image…
I think this might be the biggest thing and especially in winter sunshine pictures, is to really think about where your light sources are. The sun may be hiding but she is still there (somewhere?). Just make sure you use her and position yourself where the light will benefit your photo the most. Also watch your shadow isn't blocking your light source the taking close ups. It was super sunny when I went out, you can see I had to be careful where I position myself in this image so there was minimal shadows on my face. You also have to be weary of patchy sunshine as shown in the bottom picture as the light may hit your model wrong making them not look their greatest.
Again, like cameras editing software has become a lot more readily available to the amateur photographer in the past few years. If you are a pro and can work Photoshop I bow down to you! I find it really quite complicated. For the more amateur along you, apps like Adobe Lightroom which Is very popular with bloggers works really well. Or for you Apple Mac users the photo editor that comes with the photo's app is also really handy. If Instagram is more your thing a simple turn up or down with the contrast and saturation can really make a picture pop. But if I am struggling to get the contrasts right, black and white pictures always works well, as shown below…
So, there you have a few little tips and tricks I use for outdoor photography in winter. It was just typical that when I was taking my photos it decided to be sunny!
Thanks for taking a look.

Gustto brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 115 Designs von 44 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're looking for a logo to create our website around - a webspace for sophisticated wine junkies!
What is wineau (think wine-o)? It's the place for wine lovers both on and off line. Most importantly, Wineau is all about keeping track of the wines you drink - the good, the bad and the ugly (especially the ugly, so you never drink it again).
When submitting designs, think about people who drink wine (ALL the different types of people) and the various places where wine can be had. In the past, we've hosted wine tasting events that incorporated wine tasting with new music sampling. So the design is something that would be "appealing" to people seeking a NEW wine experience.
Brands and things we like:
- WHotels (http://www.whotels.com)
- Bliss Spa (http://www.blissworld.com) and http://www.billiondollarbrows.com)
- Clean lines and color
- Sophistication without snobbery
- George V Eatertainment (http://www.buddha-bar.com)
- Use color, don't be scared! We like it.
- The usual - something "eye catching" and "unique" but not overly complicated or abstract.
- We want to be able to create a favicon (icon in internet browser).
- Vector Format, please.
- Clutter.
- Overcomplicated designs.
- "Old' world designs (crests etc.). Remember - sophisticated wine junkies - "W Hotels" not "Waldorf Astoria".
- Reflections. None of the basic web 2.0 reflecting logo.

It was a rare meeting of the California congressional delegation.
They had gathered, both Democrats and Republicans, to meet with the new Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Not everyone was pleased to be there. A few of the Democrats were still upset with the recall of Gray Davis and they feared the new Governor would be far too conservative for their liking (which was the case at the start but later turned out to be very much not the case).
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
That the meeting took place at all was somewhat of a milestone.
The two political parties are so polarized that the fact they all represented the same state never seems to matter much. There was little to connect the liberal from San Francisco with the conservative from Bakersfield.
But they came nevertheless. After all it was David Dreier who asked.
Dreier is the Republican congressman from San Dimas. First elected in the 1980 sweep by Ronald Reagan he has been around longer than any other member of the California delegation.
Over the past 30 years he has slowly risen through the ranks and now was the chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee. Schwarzenegger had picked him to head his transition after he was elected in the 2003 recall.
There was a reason why Arnold picked him for the job and it was part of the same reason why just about everyone arrived for that meeting.
Whatever you thought of his politics the fact is Dreier was a nice guy. It is the part the public doesn't see --the part where members of government, in the midst of an adversarial relationship, can treat people with respect and even be friends.
Dreier was known for inviting as many Democrats to his private parties as Republicans. The Washington Post called him "polite to a fault."
For him it was all about being fair, human and building relationships.
There was a day when, after fierce partisan debate on the floor of the Senate a liberal like Hubert Humphrey could take a conservative like Barry Goldwater to dinner (the two were best friends). David Dreier was part of that culture.
We can only hope whoever replaces him in Congress will attempt to carry on, if not his politics, at least his goodwill for the others who disagree in the name of Democracy.

Home Insurance – Protecting Lombard
Your home is the center of your daily life, and likely your most valuable asset. When your home is damaged or destroyed, you need your claim settled by an insurance company that understands this simple fact. We can help you find the insurance that will best meet your needs and provide the most valuable combination of tailored coverage, quality service and fair pricing.
Insurance for All Kinds of Homes
Depending on where you live – a house, apartment, or condominium – the right home insurance policy can provide you peace of mind as well as the money you need to repair or replace your home and/or belongings. Contact us for more information today!
Illinois – What you need to know about homeowners insurance
Whether you own or rent, insuring the place you call home can help protect you financially if you suffer a loss due to fire, theft, vandalism, or other covered events. Depending on where you live – a house, apartment, or condominium – the right home insurance policy can provide you peace of mind as well as the money you need to repair or replace your home and/or belongings. It will also cover you in the event someone is injured while on your property and wins a legal judgment against you.
Homeowners policies differ by which losses are covered, which coverages you choose, and what type of residence you own. You choose which policy is best for you, whether it's a comprehensive policy that cover losses such as fire, hail, smoke, falling objects, vandalism and theft of personal property, or whether it's a policy that covers only specified losses.
Types of homeowners' coverage
Structural and Personal Belongings coverages are available on an actual cash value (ACV) basis or at full replacement cost. ACV coverage considers the current market value of an item based on its age and condition. So, if you purchased a television for $400 four years ago, the value today would be significantly less than it was when you purchased it. ACV coverage would depreciate the item's value to determine the current value. Full replacement cost considers the current cost to replace an item.
Protect the Things that Matter to You
Make an inventory of your home and personal belongings. If possible, make a list as well as take photos or video – using two inventory methods can help expedite the claim resolution process. Keep this list somewhere other than your home. Keep in mind that your policy doesn't cover damages caused by poor or deferred maintenance on your part.
Every home is unique – talk to us today to find out how to get the best price and value on homeowners insurance for you.

"I was reading Napier's Preface to The Wondrous Canon of Logarithms (in Latin, so sue me) in preparation for using ... Log War cards this coming week, and I just totally fell in love with the sweet and completely nerdy generosity of his introduction.
So I'm providing this translation.
I agree with the better translators on *most* of the translation, but they leave out some of the little endearments that make it so charming -- and that make me forgive him (somewhat) his rather cumbersome ideas (thank the gods for calculators in our day).
I especially love his commiseration with his "dearest fellow mathematicians" and with "most diligent students of mathematics." The guy had class. :-)"
The Description of the Wondrous Canon of Logarithms, and the use of that which, not only in Trigonometry, but also in all mathematical logistics, is most fully, most easily, and most expeditiously explained.
By the author and inventor John Napier, ___
On the Wondrous Canon of Logarithms
Since nothing in mathematical practice, my dearest fellow mathematicians, is more tiresome than the great delays suffered in the tedium of lengthy multiplications and divisions, the finding of ratios, and in the extraction of square and cube roots– and in which not only is there the time delay to be considered, but also the annoyance of the many slippery errors that can arise: I had therefore been turning over in my mind, by what sure and expeditious art, I might be able to improve upon these said difficulties. In the end after much thought, finally I have found an amazing way of shortening the proceedings, and perhaps the manner in which the method arose will be set out elsewhere: truly, concerning all these matters, there could be nothing more useful than the method that I have found. For all the numbers associated with the multiplications, and divisions of numbers, and with the long arduous tasks of extracting square and cube roots are themselves rejected from the work, and in their place other numbers are substituted, which perform the tasks of these rejected by means of addition, subtraction, and division by two or three only. Since indeed the secret is best made common to all, as all good things are, then it is a pleasant task to set out the method for the public use of mathematicians. Thus, most diligent students of mathematics,
please accept and freely enjoy this work that has been produced through my good will.
By which all the sines, tangents, and secants,
are set out for you by means of great labour and prolixity;
And which this little table of Logarithms, gentle reader,
Gives to you all at once, without great labour.

Tis the calm before the storm. At least it feels like that. The invites have all been sent. The presenter lined up. Reminders have been sent and now we are down to just a couple of reminder blogs and finger crossing.
If you have been following the adventures of the LV UG, you know that the past couple of months have been a real riot. Definitely not a riot in a good way. We are talking about problems from all directions and frags blasting our efforts to pieces. This month we buck that trend.
One thing for certain that will be different this month is that I will be participating virtually. I will be attending the meeting through our livemeeting setup – remotely. For those wishing to attend like me, you can do so by following these two simple steps.
- Copy this address and paste it into your web browser:
- Copy and paste the required information:
Meeting ID: GZ76C7
Location: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/UserGroups
Our meeting will be held at 6:30 PM PST (Jan 13, 2011), but you are welcome to join the meeting starting at 6 PM PST.
This month we have a guest presenter from the east coast who will be talking to us about temporary tables and table variables. There is a lot of good info to be gained from this presentation. Wayne Sheffield is the presenter and we are glad he has given us a second shot at this presentation. He, like me, will be presenting from remote.

Eastside Road, August 31, 2011—SALLIE SAYS, on Facebook: "Still don't see how you two can do all those great eating and drinking places without gaining weight!"
Reasonable point, I suppose, so let me address it, once and for all. Breakfast today: two cappuccinos, two slices toast, honey. Lunch: a hot dog — "Italian," with sauerkraut and onion and mustard; not very good. (We'd gone to a ball game. Cubs lost, 4-0, but it didn't hurt that much; they won the last two games.)
On the way home: an affogato — one scoop of vanilla ice cream in a double espresso. Oh: and a small scoop of tea-and-honey ice cream, because I was curious about it. It was delicious: Earl Grey tea, local honey, a fairly dense ice cream — we like this place*.
Before dinner: a Martini with a handful of cashews and almonds. (We'd skipped them last Friday and Saturday, and they're fungible, you know.)
Dinner at home: Grilled cheese sandwich; green salad; half a (big) peach and quarter of a melon. Giovanna brought us the cheese, our beloved nagelkaas, from the Dutch import shop up near Portland.
It's true that over the long Chez Panisse weekend I gained one pound: I think that was because of rather more drink than usual, and certainly less exercise. Today we walked probably two miles, fairly quickly. (Parking garage to ball park and back.) Tomorrow we'll see what the scales say. I'll let you know, unless it's shameful.

If you are looking to be in the heart of the action, staying in the SHARC area will be your go-to spot in Sunriver! A favorite for young families, the SHARC is an amazing facility offering a multitude of activities: outdoor pools; indoor pools; lazy river; water slides; social hot tub; tot splash & play areas; event space/ amphitheatre; cafe; park; picnic areas; playground; bocce ball; basketball and a year-round tubing hill. With the shops and restaurants at the Village on one side and a great playground, tennis courts and ball fields at Fort Rock Park on the other, guests staying in the central SHARC area enjoy being able to walk to all!
The Village at Sunriver offers something for everyone. Coffee and pastries, craft beer, great restaurants, boutique shopping, fine art gallery, outdoor recreation and rentals, family entertainment and events - all can be found just steps away from your Sunriver vacation rental when you stay in this area. Most homes and condos in this area are 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms, making it perfect for a couple's retreat or small family getaway. From summer mini-golf to winter ice skating, the Sage Spring Spa, Sunriver Lodge and pools at SHARC, there is fun to enjoy year-round all within a one-mile radius of the Village.
Located in the heart of Sunriver between Circles 4 and 11, the Fort Rock area is perfect for groups of all ages - the kids can walk to Fort Rock Park, and you are also just a short run, walk or bike ride to the SHARC, Nature Center, Deschutes River trails and Village at Sunriver. Sunriver's fabulous Fort Rock Park features a large grassy field, pavilion shelter, and a playground with new and updated equipment, along with several picnic tables located around the park itself. This amazing park offers basketball and tennis courts, softball and volleyball facilities as well as horseshoes, ensuring each member of your group will find something to enjoy.

Known for its walkability, staying in the south end of Sunriver means you will be in the heart of the action.

Located off the main entrance to Sunriver and near the conference and event centers at the Great Hall, accessibility is key in Sunriver's southern end.

If your up for more adventure you are close to Circle 7 and a variety of hiking options that will take you to the trails at Beneham Falls, either family friendly or more extreme for the adventurous. It's also the location for exiting the Deschutes River for those floating, kayaking, in a canoe or stand up paddle boarding to exit the river. And not to be left out is the 5.5 mile Sun-Lava paved trail to Lava Lands Visitor Center, opened in 2014 by the Forest Service. Other services include a market, gas station, woodlands golf course and restaurant (summer only), and Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
Enjoy the quite beauty and surroundings of the Deschutes River as it flows by. Take a bide ride or hike on the paved pathways that follow along the river in several areas. Journey over to Cardinal Landing foot bridge and cast a line to catch your dinner! Watch for the Interpretive Trail Sign, off of Circle 6 letting you know you've entered The Riparian Zone (river bank in Latin). View a large variety of flora and fauna, and vistas of the Cascade Mountain Range to the west. Do you enjoy bird watching or photography? You'll be pleased with the surroundings giving you countless opportunities to enjoy both.
You will love, love, love this location, near everything but away from it all...located in the quieter center of Sunriver but within walking distance to Fort Rock Park and the SHARC for those little feet. The Woodlands course itself features dense forests of Ponderosa and Lodgepole Pine, outcroppings of lava rock and an abundance of water. Noted by golfers for superb conditioning and its beautiful setting, the Woodlands is one of the Northwest's finest championship courses.
Staying nearby the Meadows Golf Course on the southern end of Sunriver not only means you will have easy access to the award-winning 18 hole course, 9-hole putting course, and driving range, but also to restaurants, boutique shops, and the beautiful Sunriver Lodge. Enjoy dramatic views of Mt. Bachelor fronted by the peaceful Sun River from Carson's Kitchen on the deck at the Lodge or head out on miles of paved pathways that meander through the quiet, tree-lined Sunriver streets and out along the Deschutes River. From go-karts in the Village to swimming at SHARC, beer tasting at Sunriver Brewing and star-gazing at the Oregon Observatory, there will indeed be endless fun just steps from your front door. Whether you need a cozy cabin for two or luxury vacation home for the whole family, the Meadows area offers something for everyone and is a favorite among long-time Sunriver vacationers.
Nestled next to Sunriver, Caldera Springs is a small, gated resort with everything you love about Sunriver and more . . . A beautiful lake setting surrounded by a rich forest of ponderosa, Caldera Springs offers access to all of the Sunriver amenities, plus also private access to the Caldera Springs - Quarry Pool (summer only), Fitness Center, Playground & Sports Courts (playground, tennis, basketball, softball, Frisbee, and soccer). Enjoy paddling and fishing the lakes, walking along the trails or gathering around the Lake House fire pit to share stories and memories.
Enjoy seclusion on the outskirts of Sunriver - if tranquility is what you seek, where you will find what you are looking for a stone's throw from the resort. Nestled in the Deschutes National Forest just south of Sunriver, this area is perfect for anyone ready to lose themselves in nature. Escape the crowds and be one step closer to world-class skiing at Mt. Bachelor, flyfishing, hiking and mountain biking. The best part is since most Sunriver amenities are open to the public, you won't miss out on the fun when you head to the resort for the day. A Bennington Staff favorite in this area? Starting a leisurely river float at the Big River Campground a few miles upstream and taking out at Harper's Bridge on the edge of Sunriver.

VIDEO: Valentine's Day ladies shoe up-style
First of all, my favorite holiday is Valentine's Day.
Whether I have a valentine or not, I adore this holiday's colors, the hearts and the meaning behind it.
Besides, it's the best excuse to drink champagne and each chocolates… My kind of fun!
These heels remind me of Bettie Page and the Rockabilly scene. I can see tons of my fashionable friends wearing them with tight polka dot dresses, severe bangs or Vargas curls and cardigan sets.
And they were so easy to make!

There has been a bit of public backlash recently against "Cocktailian" or "Mixology" bars.
As in these articles:
"Complicated Cocktails", Ali Zweben
"Against Mixology", Sarah Deming
"Measure for Measure", Karl Kozel
I've been biding my time up to now, but lately feel like maybe I can add a bit of zest to the debate.
First off, not every bar has to be for every person. Like restaurants, there are different types of bars for different types of customers. Maybe you like waiters in starched tuxedos serving you tiny jewels of food while you sweat in a tight suit and quiver with anus clenched excitement in an uncomfortable chair. Maybe I like to have a bacon hamburger served to me by a tatooed hipster in a dive bar.
We don't all enjoy the same restaurants, why should we all enjoy the same bars?
What is it about bars, where if someone is attempting something other than the one or two accepted tropes, that it is perceived as alienating, where there is a whole range of accepted restaurant experiences?
But, you say, Bars are about going out, getting drunk, and having fun with your friends.
Well, sure, but not everyone's idea of "fun" is the same thing. For you, maybe the cat's pajamas is going out to a loud bar where there are five different sporting contests on three different screens and you do a shot every time each respective team scores. Well, that's fun some of the time. Personally, I rarely care about sports, and would rather go out to a quiet bar and talk about music or geek out about cocktails with a well informed bartender, some cocktail and music geek friends. I don't go out to a sports bar and try to debate the finer points of the Pegu Club with a jock bartender free pouring vodka red bulls, why should you expect that you should enjoy yourself at a bar catering to cocktailian patrons? Look around at the other customers, at the bartenders, at the back bar. What do you see? Do you feel like you fit in? If not, I hate to be harsh, but maybe this isn't the place for you.
Jigger Pouring vs. Free Pouring. I used to not measure the cocktails I made for myself, friends, and family at home. Some times they were good, some times they were bad, and it was often the same cocktail. When I started the Savoy Cocktail Book project, I forced myself to measure, and found that my cocktails, if not improved, were at least consistent. I don't know how to measure spirits by counting my pours, so I measure using a measuring cup or jigger. Other people know how to measure by counting their pours or by visually judging the amounts in clear mixing glasses. Awesome for them, but I'm 46 and don't work in a Sports bar, so I am just not going to make the effort to learn how to free pour at this point in my life. And I don't juggle bottles, either.
While you're thinking about this, take a look at the bottles in the speed rail at your "local", where the bartenders "Free Pour". Do you see anything which would cost you MORE than $15 at retail? No? I didn't think so. Now take a look at the bottles in the speed rail at Alembic or Heaven's Dog. Do you see anything that would cost LESS than $15 at retail? Right, that bottle of Barbancourt 15 that we just poured in your "Rum and Honey" would probably set you back $40, or more, at the liquor store. A half ounce over-pour of Barbancourt 15 is costing the house significant money, especially when factored over days or weeks. A half an ounce over-pour of the rum flavored after shave you see on the speed rail at your local may be costing them less than the cola they are mixing it with. There is a reason we have to measure and they don't.
Finally, a lot of people take issue with the more enthusiastic zealots of this new cocktailian wave of bartenders and mixologists. To be clear, we think America, and the rest of the world, was drinking pretty shit cocktails, for quite a few years. For those of us with any sort of podium, it is almost a matter of a righteous cause, that we use these outlets to improve the way people are drinking, and spread our agenda of drinking better. It's not life or death, but we do think you will be happier drinking better spirits, liqueurs, mixers, and cocktails.
You don't have to agree, and I'm always up for a healthy discussion on the topic, but I've found, in most cases, that the cocktails made with care and well selected ingredients speak for themselves, even to the coarsest of palates.
