STARKVILLE -- They don't talk much about it, meet every year at reunions, or give donations to the organization.
However, Mitch Gaspard and John Cohen are part of a what they refer to as "a unique coaching fraternity down in Louisiana."
That fraternity is shared among men who have led teams at Northwestern State University. Gaspard, who is the head baseball coach at the University of Alabama, and Cohen, who holds the same position at Mississippi State University, know what it's like to have overwhelming success at a low-Division I school.
Seven former or current Southeastern Conference coaches have spent time as a head coach or as an assistant at the Southland Conference school in Natchitoches, La.
"I think it's a conversation I've had with nearly everybody we've played this season," Cohen said with a laugh on his media teleconference Thursday. "From (University of Arkansas coach) Dave Van Horn to (University of Mississippi coach) Mike Bianco) to (Texas A&M coach) Rob Childress, we all bring it up at one point or another."
After Cohen left NSU to become an assistant coach for his mentor Pat McMahon at the University of Florida, Gaspard was hired to lead the Demons. Cohen went 108-67 in three seasons at NSU, including a Southland Conference championship in his first season in 1998. Gaspard, who had been an assistant coach at Alabama for seven seasons, led the Demons to two Southland Conference championships, one SLC tournament championship, and a place in the 2005 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional in his six seasons with the program.
"I have so much respect for Mitch as a coach and a person in this league that I immediately thought he was the right guy when they made the decision," Cohen said.
Not only do Cohen and Gaspard understand how to win in smaller conferences, they also know how to win at the highest level and how to step in and follow successful coaches. Cohen was the highly publicized hire to replace Ron Polk at MSU, while Gaspard replaced Jim Wells, the school's all-time winningest coach. This weekend, both coaches will square off in an attempt to improve their chances to earning a spot in the SEC tournament.
"Mitch is a bright, young, energetic coach with a great passion for the game of baseball," Wells said. "He is an outstanding recruiter and teacher. He is a tireless worker and is one of the main reasons we were so successful in the early stages of building our program at Northwestern State and Alabama."
Both programs are looking for separation from the middle pack of the SEC. Teams from third to eighth place are just three games apart.
"It's gonna be, if I'm not mistaken, the seventh time out of eight weekends we're playing a team that's coming off winning a series," Cohen said. "I don't get surprised by anything in our league because everyone is good."
MSU sophomore Woodruff out for rest of season after elbow surgery
MSU sophomore right-hander Brandon Woodruff will have a surgical procedure on his right elbow and will miss the rest of the season.
Cohen confirmed Woodruff's status Thursday in his media teleconference, but he was unable to talk about the details of the procedure.
Woodruff felt elbow tenderness in January and was trying to regain the strength in his arm. He pitched just 18 2/3 innings in eight games this season. It is unknown if this procedure is related to the elbow tenderness he felt in the winter. Woodruff told The Dispatch in April it was "the first injury situation I had to deal with in my career."
The Wheeler native, a former fifth-round pick out of high school by the Texas Rangers in the 2011 Major League Baseball First-Year Player draft, failed to get out of the second inning in three of six starts.
"He had a little surgery (for) something that's been gnawing at him for a little while," Cohen said. "It went very, very well. We feel like this is something that's really going to enhance his career at Mississippi State and professionally."
Woodruff (1-1, 4..34) won't play in the Cape Cod League this summer. Cohen said Woodruff will start his rehabilitation in the summer and should be ready for fall practices.
While Cohen didn't feel comfortable talking about the specifics of the surgery beyond the location of the arm, he said it wasn't Tommy John surgery, a ligament replacement procedure, and had nothing to do with a ligament problem in the elbow.
"We think his prognosis is great," Cohen said. "He's not going to pitch again this year, but will be back in the fall."
In his last start against the University of Mississippi on April 9 at Trustmark Park in Pearl, Woodruff lasted 1 1/3 innings and allowed one run on three hits in 21 pitches. In that outing, Woodruff didn't throw a pitch faster than 85 mph. After the 5-1 victory, MSU sophomore left-handed reliever Ross Mitchell said Woodruff "was sore" and had to leave the game.
Woodruff was expected to compete for one of three weekend starter roles this season. If he is healthy, he could compete for a weekend rotation spot next season.
Woodruff and sophomore pitcher Jacob Lindgren confirmed to The Dispatch throughout the draft process they turned down offers of more than $500,000 from professional franchises to attend MSU.

A few weeks ago the Right Honourable Edmund John Philip Browne, Baron Browne of Madingley, took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the presidents of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia. Lord Browne is a president, also. His domain is BP Oil, a corporation of more economic importance than Azerbaijan or Georgia, postage-stamp countries in the Caucasus known, if known at all, as Joseph Stalin's native land.
The opening of a new pipeline to carry the crude of the Caspian Sea basin to the oil-worried Western world was the reason for these worthies gathering together. All four presidents have their problems, but only Browne's are worthy of global attention.
BP has been experiencing a series of mishaps to refineries, pumping platforms and, most recently, a small but significant leak of Alaska's Prudhoe Bay oilfield pipeline. There is also the American government's accusation that BP has been doing impermissible things to manipulate the price of propane gas to its advantage. But not to worry if you are a BP stockholder: Profits are up 30 percent over this time last year.
Whenever something happens to BP, good or bad, the world's oil markets react up or down–which might lead you to think that Baron Browne of Madingley controlled the fate of the world. He does not, although he is certainly in a position to cash in on it. There are facts at work that not even an oil baron can change.
The big fact is that the major oilfields around the globe are getting tired and are in decline. In due course, unless somebody finds a lot of undiscovered oil, Browne and his corporate confreres will have an ever-diminishing amount of oil to sell at an ever-increasing price. Additional assistance in driving up the price of oil may come from politicians in the United States and Great Britain and Israel. Since 9/11, prices at the pump have doubled. If these three countries go ahead with their hearts' desire, an attack on Iran, gasoline at $7 a gallon sounds about right.
Because more people (China and India) with more money want more of a lessening supply of oil, prices will go into zoom mode before long. But how long is before long? It could be three years, it could be ten or it could be fifteen years–or just when your grandchildren will be going to college or hitting the job market.
For all kinds of reasons, the age of cheap, plentiful oil is coming to a rapid close. And that is a greater, surer and more profound threat to Western civilization as we know it than Al Qaeda multiplied by a hundred. It is well to remember that all the Islamo-fastisto-terroristico-jihadi-fanaticos can only blow up a skyscraper full of people or crash a passenger airliner or incinerate 400 people on a subway train or even get lucky and take out a few more doing their Sunday shopping at the mall with a dirty bomb.

Our Latest Color Crush is Perfect for Summer
Summer has only just begun, and we've already got a new color crush: chartreuse. Earlier this month, the lemon-lime shade added a tart citrus twist to Resort 17 collections shown by Elie Saab, Bottega Veneta, and Delpozo, among others. The interior design lesson? When you pair it with the right pretty colors, acidic yellow can go from putrid to perfect. Balanced with blush and soft blue accents (Pantone colors of the year, anyone?), chartreuse is so wrong that it's right. While this color was splashed all over the Resort 17 runways, we just can't wait to start infusing it into our summer refresh right away. If Beyoncé has taught us anything, it's this: When life hands you lemons, turn them into fierce yellow fashion statements.

If I Had Two Point Five Million Dollars ...
By Mrs. Julien | Comment Diversions | February 9, 2013 |
By Mrs. Julien | Comment Diversions | February 9, 2013 |
I think about winning the lottery a lot. Seriously, I've done research: In New Jersey, the cash pay out after taxes for MegaMillions is 55% of the advertised jackpot. Powerball is 47% owing to a longer (30 year) amortization period on the annuity payment option and therefore a smaller potential cash up front jackpot. Like I said, I think about it a lot. Some weeks, I spend upwards of $4 on tickets. I don't care about the odds. Somebody wins and it could be me, and I find entertainment value in imagining it. Do you?
Unfathomable amounts of instant wealth aren't the point here. The answer to someone asking "What would you do with $100 million dollars?" is, obviously, "Whatever the fuck I want and I said NO EYE CONTACT", so I'm going to scale it back, to 2.5 million smackers. Let's take the practical considerations, bills, as read -
First, everyone gets a pack of gum. Next, I go to Whole Foods and buy whatever I want. Then I buy something shiny in each of the each the vehicular and gemological categories: Audi and Asscher. I'll be killed in a fiery crash distracted by my glittering ring as my groceries and I careen toward my beach house (also new) in my finely-engineered German road sedan, but I'll die happy. Okay, fine, I'd have given money to an assortment of charities first. Dead, but generous.
So CONGRATULATIONS! You have just won $2.5 million, after taxes. What now?
Don't be one of those people who says they "would just keep working and sock it all away". If you have the temerity to spew such nonsense, I will reach through the internet and poke you in the eye with a sharpened stick.

Recognizing coma and altered level of consciousness in EMS patient assessment. Paramedic exam study tips video focusing on coma and LOC.
EMS airway assessment is drilled in to us from EMT school to recert classes like ACLS. But we know it all already so why keep harping on it? While it may take hours of classroom training and skills practice to learn airway assessment. You only have seconds in the field to decide how to manage a patients airway.
Deciding on using a BVM, KING airway or ETI depends on many things. You should be thinking about them as you approach your patients and during your
initial and on going EMS patient assessments.
This video drills home some more key points to think about during your airway assessment. Take a few minutes now to watch the video so you can
act in seconds later when your patient needs it.
Do you have some airway assessment tips? Post them below and be sure to like this video if you found it helpful.
This week we were joined by Ellayne S. Ganzfried, M.S., CCC-SLP who is a speech-language pathologist and the Executive Director of the National Aphasia Association. Fellow paramedic and long time subscriber to EMSSEO.com Avi Golden also joined us to share his story about how aphasia has affected him.
Many health professionals have heard of aphasia but often don't have a good understanding of the disorder and how to communicate with a person with aphasia. EMTs and other health professionals are in fact more likely to encounter a person with aphasia than someone with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Unfortunately, because few health professionals are specifically trained to deal with people with aphasia, they may mistake the aphasia for mental illness, mental retardation, or other conditions. Misunderstandings may arise and efforts to help people with aphasia may be useless – or dangerous. The goal of this episode is to provide comprehensive information about aphasia along with practical communicative and intervention strategies.

Assessing lung sounds in EMS as a paramedic or EMT can be difficult. All the background noise like diesel engines, radios, movement and even what a patient is wearing can really hinder what you are hearing. Knowing a baseline of what to expect to hear can be helpful. This week I talk about four common lung sounds we might hear as EMS providers.
This patient assessment sign is discussed during this Monday Minutes session. Remember, assessment of the patients skin during your primary EMS assessment can give you clues to the patients circulatory status. See the video version over at youtube http://youtu.be/dgEoeGAeMMU

Patient assessment in EMS is pointed to as the key ingredient with our patient contacts. Yet how much time is really spent on this in class? Things like the importance of reassessment, differential diagnosis and treatments. We seem to have this pride of ABCDE, DCAP, BTLS and knowing it, sticking to primary and secondary surveys. But what about really knowing what we are looking for and identifying true emergencies instead of fitting patients into protocols? Check out this episode, share your patient assessment tips and tell us your indoctrination into "patient assessment".

Ever get the call where a patient has both diabetes and dementia and the call is for a change in mental status? When encountering these patients, it is very important to get a complete history leading up to the event such as last meal, medication administration, and if the change is sudden or gradual.

Mountain laurel handrails feature the most unique deck balusters that you've seen. Sticks and branches from mountain laurel trees are saved from land clearing activities and repurposed into rustic works of art. These branch handrails take their shape from each individual stick. Nature crafts the forms and it is the artisan's work to meld them into forms that are pleasing to the eye. Since each stick has its own shape, the work takes on its own form and the carpenter just guides itinto place somewhat like a sailboat captain has to work the wind or a sawyer has to know how the log will cut. The skilled craftsmen at Wood Railing take nature's forms and create deck balusters that will have your neighbor's asking, "Where did you get that handrail?"
These built in bench seats and deck balusters are a beautiful sight! The benches look like they will be great for parties of firends and family at this home. There is plenty of space for relaxing and mingling and the railing will certainly be a conversation starter.

My Sunday best …
Some of the toughest sports leaders in the state soften up when talking about their mothers. I asked a few to reminisce on this Mother's Day about the women who set the standard for their professional success. …
Growing up in Grant Town, W.Va., Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez developed a strong work ethic watching his coal miner father, Vince, and his teacher's aide mother, Arleen.
"I don't remember my mom ever having a sick day or taking the day off," he said. "Every day she worked and she was still home working when she got home, whether it was cooking a meal or taking care of the kids, or my dad. She never complained.
"Growing up, my two brothers and I, we didn't know anything else. You worked. You didn't get sick." …
A nod, too, goes to Rita, his wife and the mother of their two children.
In 1988, Rodriguez, then 24, became the youngest head college football coach in the country when he landed a job at Salem College in West Virginia. After the first year, he had saved some money and "was feeling pretty good about myself." He bought his first house, for $30,000, a red Ford Probe and became engaged to Rita.
In June 1989, as he was preparing for his second season, he learned from a newspaper reporter that the college had been purchased by Teikyo University of Japan and that football would be eliminated. Two weeks before his wedding, he was out of a job.
Rodriguez recalled his conversation with Rita.
Rodriguez: "I've got good news and bad news."
Rita: "Give me the bad news first."
"I don't have a job."
"And the good news?"
"I'll still marry you if you want."
They did marry, even though Rodriguez had to call the wedding guests and let them know the reception would now be "BYOB."
And they landed on their feet just fine. Rodriguez went on to a successful career at Glanville State before stops in West Virginia, Michigan and now Tucson. …
On Mother's Day, one of the people Arizona State Athletic Director Ray Anderson thinks about is his late aunt, Betsy Helen Anderson.
She helped raise Anderson in the Los Angeles area after his father died and his mother was away dealing with emotional problems. Betsy had been raised in an orphanage by nuns and believed in making family a priority. She had dealt with plenty of heartbreak, including losing both of her sons at fairly young ages.
"She always emphasized love and family and said nothing else matters," Anderson said.
Anderson remembers a time when his children were running around and knocked an expensive crystal vase down. As Anderson's wife, Buffie, started to get upset, Betsy reminded them it was just a material thing and "it lasted well."
"That resonated with me and Buffie," he said. "A lot of times when things are going a little crazy, we say, 'Hey, it lasted well.' "
Betsy, who had a close relationship with Buffie, clearly was a good example for Anderson. He went on to Stanford, Harvard Law School and an accomplished career in the professional and college sports realms. …
The best thing Arizona State coach Todd Graham said he learned from his mother, Carol, was perseverance.
"And her character and faith," he said. "When I think of servants, I think of my mother. She taught me to never quit anything."
Graham remembers playing football as a seventh-grader and staying on the ground a little longer to attract attention for being hurt.
"I was kind of a prima donna," he said. "I saw my mom walking down the stands and I'm thinking she's coming to check on me. Instead, she said, 'You better not ever do that again. If you think you're hurt, you get up off the ground.' " …
Worth watching: At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Fox Sports 1 debuts a six-part documentary called "The Pecos League," which provides a fascinating look at a small independent baseball league of 10 teams located in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and West Texas.
Arizona's representatives are the Douglas Diablos and Bisbee Blue. Players make $50 a week and hope to attract the attention of a major-league scout. …
The rich get richer. Arizona landed another quality recruit when Ryan Anderson, a transfer from Boston College, announced he will come to Tucson. He will be eligible to play the 2015-16 season. The 6-foot-8 forward averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds and could help fill a void in the front court if Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski leave early for the NBA draft after the upcoming season. …
Final word: "My mom the last several years has been battling illness. When I talk with her, when I think about her, I'm just reminded of the power of faith and I find myself being inspired by her courage, her toughness and her perseverance." — ASU men's basketball coach Herb Sendek on his mother, Janet.

"Does the Bible have any humor in it?"
The overall plot of the Bible is a U-shaped comic plot. The action begins with a perfect world inhabited by perfect people. It descends into the misery of fallen history and ends with a new world of total happiness and the conquest of evil.
Driscoll also highlights examples of situational comedy (e.g., the story of Jacob and Laban in Genesis 27-29), scatological humor (e.g., Ezekiel 4:12), sarcasm (e.g., Job 38), name calling (e.g., Proverbs 6:6-9; 19:13). The coup de grâce for Driscoll's (or any theological) argument is, of course, Jesus. He used humorous exaggeration (e.g., the log vs. the speck in the eye, the camel through the eye of the needle), ridicule (e.g., how religious people pray, fast and tithe) and some were offended (Matthew 15:12).
So why should we be humorous. Driscoll concludes by saying because:*
Jesus did it.*
Humor defeats religion.*
People take themselves too seriously, and God too lightly.*
Some things are a joke and if you treat them seriously it gives them credence you don't want to give them.*
Just because they are laughing doesn't mean they aren't grieving (Proverbs 14:13).*
It makes us spiritually strong (Nehemiah 8:10).*
It heightens all our other passions.*
It is missiological (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).
Are there any limits then to humor? Driscoll says there are, such as:*
Don't mock God.*
Don't mock everyone.*
Don't mock all the time
Keep looking for the line.* Laugh at yourself.*
Know who to mock.*
Know when to mock.
In general, laughing at ourselves or helping someone laugh at themselves is actually doing them a spiritual service because it nurtures our humility and punctures our arrogance. At the same time it is not always appropriate. But those are exceptions to the rule: Be funny.

Rosenblatt Solicitors ("Rosenblatt"), the independent City law firm, is compiling a list of potential claimants for an action against Tesco plc ("Tesco") as a result of its market abuse between 2013-2015. During this time, executives at Tesco intentionally manipulated its trading profits and made misleading statements to the stock market that omitted material information, resulting in potential losses for investors who had relied on this information when making investment decisions.
On 29 August 2014, Tesco released financial information that was inaccurate. It subsequently revealed on 22 September 2014 that it had identified an overstatement for its first-half profits for that year.
By 2015 the company further admitted that an internal investigation had identified that commercial income had been overstated in various reporting periods between 2013 and 2015. These statements were relied on by investors who, as a result, may have suffered economic losses through buying shares and/or bonds at inflated prices during this period.
In March 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced a compensation scheme for investors who made a loss in the period between 29 August 2014 and 19 September 2014. This compensation was set at 24.5p per share plus interest of 1.25% per annum for institutional investors and 4% per annum for retail investors.
It is yet to be determined whether this compensation is fair or reasonable; however, it only covers a small window of time, whereas it is clear that Tesco had been releasing inaccurate financial information for much longer.
As a result, institutional investors have already filed a lawsuit against Tesco for damages and Rosenblatt has been invited to participate alongside them, representing the interests of retail investors.
Commenting on the potential group action, Tania MacLeod, Managing Partner, said:
"We believe the FCA compensation scheme does not extend far enough. What is beyond doubt is that, even on the findings of Tesco's own investigation, the reporting of its financial information was overstated long before 29 August 2014 and thus there is a likelihood that investors bought stock at inflated prices going back to at least 2013. If you are a retail investor and bought and/or sold Tesco shares or bonds during this period, and are interested in being part of a group to bring a claim, please visit our website."

"Text," the Oxford English Dictionary tells us, came into English usage as a signifier for the Gospels. It is related to texture and textile, establishing the written and the woven as related pursuits that join the useful and the comely. Thus wrote the fourteenth-century poet William Langland in Piers Plowman: "Dilige deum & proximum tuum, &c. [Th]is was [th]e tixte trewly..; [the] glose was gloriousely writen."
The "gloriousely writen" text doesn't seem to be the bailiwick of linguists. If there's an offense that unites scientists and post-structuralists against a common foe, it's belle-lettrism. Yet the concern with text as texture–what we've come to call its style–is fundamental not only to the pleasure of reading but to the understanding of what is written, which at its best is a fabric: composed of many strands. Discerning those strands requires knowledge–and judgment. Style is an apotheosis: it is the revelation of any author's "construction of reality."
We are coming on the 400th anniversary of the most authoritative English translation of Langland's tixte: the King James Bible. "No book has had greater influence on the English language," declared Alan G. Thomas in Great Books and Book Collectors, quoted on the first page of David Crystal's new book, Begat: The King James Bible and the English Language (Oxford; $24.95). Naturally, such an influence would have to extend to the American language, a subject charted in Hebrew scholar and translator Robert Alter's new book Pen of Iron: American Prose and the King James Bible (Princeton; $19.95).
These books could not be more different. Alter adapted his from the Spencer Trask Lectures he gave at Princeton University in 2008: each lecture takes a close and sensitive look at how the King James Bible shaped America's identity through its impact on American stylists–Lincoln, Melville, Faulkner, Bellow, Hemingway and the two most redoubtable contemporaries writing in their vein, Cormac McCarthy and Marilynne Robinson. Crystal's book poses a question–how "influential" was the King James Bible after all?–and sets about answering it with as quantitative a method as he could cook up, which includes aggregating, over dozens of chapters, contemporary citations from culture and news sources all over the English-speaking world that in some way quote, echo and otherwise mangle common biblical references.
"Influence" was once felt to be a kind of ether that emanated from the stars: an intangible. When Alter takes up the delicate task of assessing the King James Version's perdurance in the American language, he is at pains to remind us that a text can't be measured the way a sheet's thread-count can be:

Leadership - A Missing Piece: Reimagining School and District Leadership
Browse recordings: livestream.com/educon13
- When:
- Session One: Saturday 10:00am–11:30am
- Where:
- Room 311
- Who:
- Randy Ziegenfuss
- Affiliation: Salisbury Township School District
- Conversational Focus/Audience:
- All School Levels
- Conversation Description:
As educational leaders, we have heard a great deal about how students today lack the knowledge and skills to be productive citizens and workers in a world of exponential change. Solutions are offered, mostly focused on what students and teachers need to change. But what about school and district leaders? This conversation will explore what principal and district leadership needs to do differently in order to bring about the schools we need. It is my hope that we will leave the session having developed/reimagined a commonsense set of ideas to begin using in our practice as school leaders.
In order to get to this end, we'll revisit and uncover our basic ideas about what teaching and learning must look like in today's world and how we currently lead for this outcome. What is the gold standard? What are our non-negotiables? How do we currently lead - specific actions we take - to bring about this vision?
What might we do differently to more effectively address the challenges specific to the changes we need? We'll use Marzano's research on school change and leadership responsibilities as a lens to think differently about breathing life into our personal visions for teaching and learning. How do these frameworks apply to our current practice? But more importantly, how do we specifically use these frameworks as a starting point for leading change back in our schools? How do we reimagine leadership for today and tomorrow?
- Conversational Practice:
- This is largely a conversation-based session. While there will be some front-loading of information, small-group and large-group discussions will be the primary tool for idea creation. Google Docs will be used to support transparency of thinking, and the wiki linked below will serve as a means to share our work and continue the conversation beyond the session.

The prognosis is not good for charlatans. Nor does the future look bright for wellness practitioners—the earnest touch therapists, energy healers and reiki masters—who post their business cards at health food stores. Those operating on the margins of the scientific and medical communities were served notice last November when Joe Schwarcz received a $5.5-million grant to further his work as Canada's leading quackbuster.
This is fantastic news, Mr.Schwarcz is doing important work and to hear that he is getting the support he needs gives me hope in the battle against those who would lie and do harm for profit.
"Like Joe, I'm appalled by the amount of sheer nonsense out there about health, the environment, everything," said Trottier, co-founder of electronics company Matrox.
Well said, it is really is astonishing the amount of misinformation in the world about issues that are important to your health and wealth.
Schwarcz is taking on health fads like acai berries and noni juice, rhinoceros horn aphrodisiacs, coffee enema cancer cures ("You can't find the people who gave testimonials—they're dead"), anti-wrinkle diets, crusaders against artificial sweeteners and detox products ("any scheme that claims to detoxify the body smacks of quackery"). He takes issue with health tips propagated by celebrities like Suzanne Somers ("She claims mistletoe extract helped her breast cancer; never mind that she had a lumpectomy and radiation treatment"), and Demi Moore, who swears by leeches. "Websites for herbal supplements are the worst, bilking the public out of millions of dollars," said Schwarcz, who scans hundreds of Internet sites a week. "They all sell the same conspiracy theory: their cure from the Amazon is being suppressed by the evil alliance between science, doctors and Big Pharma. Look, there is no conspiracy to keep cheap, effective cures from the public."
This is just fantastic, the whole article is well worth reading. Here is Schwarscz's website, please help spread the word about his important work.

Our plans for Monday evening took us to the Marais district. Before dinner, we stopped by The Experimental Cocktail Club for drinks. This was quite the experience. As someone who grew up in
After drinks, we walked a few blocks to Frenchie for dinner. The concept here is to present a nightly prix fixe menu of dishes crafted to emphasize local, seasonal foods. The menu offers two choices for each course and an optional fois opening course, so between the two of us, we sampled the full menu, as follows:
duck fois gras torchon and pear
black trompette mushrooms, chicken liver parfait, figs, fresh hazelnuts
crab, tomato, basil, hysope
trout, cauliflower mushrooms, walnuts
guinea fowl, eggplant, bell pepper, feta
wild blackberries, lime, hazelnuts
miso ice cream, plums, raspberries

From a planner's perspective, Tuesday's lunch and dinner were a mess. My idea to have a galette and cider for lunch at Little Breizh stalled when we arrived to a sign stating that they were closed for the day so that they could paint the restaurant. Insistent that I find another creperie in the neighborhood, I began an internet search that should've landed me at La Creperie des Canettes. As we approached rue des canettes, we saw a large yellow sign proclaiming CREPERIE and darted right in. The server brought us menus and while I found it odd that they were covered in pictures of clowns, I forged ahead and ordered. Shortly thereafter, I realized that we were not in La Creperie des Canettes when I spotted the sign in the restaurant for Creperie du Clown. Still in the dark, I assumed that the name of the restaurant had changed. My galette arrived, and it was okay. Not bad, not great. We finished our lunch, crossed the street, looked back, and saw La Creperie des Canettes right beside the clown spot. We were oh so close.

In keeping with Tuesday's theme of poor planning, we walked back to the hotel and wondered how we would ever eat dinner after such an incredible afternoon. We lay around in a cheese coma for a little while and finally mustered up the energy to dress for dinner. We walked a mile to La Table d'Aki to discover that something with our reservation was awry. Long story short, we turned around, walked back to the hotel, and went to bed.

We enjoyed every dish. Our favorites included the tomato gazpacho with mustard sorbet, the crab royale, the 65-degree egg layered between cream and mushrooms, the saint-pierre with nori and pistachio oil, and the beef with shallot confit. Oddly enough, I expected this to be the disappointment of the week. With so many quaint, trendy spots on my list, I suppose I thought this wouldn't live up to the hype or the "big name" label. When I mentioned to friends that we planned to lunch there, most responded with lackluster comments seeming disappointed that we'd spend our time there. I know this much…there is a reason Robuchon's name is on the door. This meal was nothing short of magnificent.
After our leisurely two-hour lunch, we ditched all plans for afternoon museum tours and hiked around the city for the next three hours…from Saint-Germain into the Jardin de Tuileries down avenue des champs-elysees to the top of the Arc de Triomphe under the Eifel Tower through the Invalides neighborhood, and back to our hotel in Saint-Germain. We needed every mile of that walk.
I opted for dinner at Chez l'Ami Jean on Wednesday night, because I wanted to experience a real neighborhood bistro in
. I imagined a casual spot where the chef and
the servers know the patrons, and everyone is there to enjoy great food in the
company of friends and family. With so
many endearing reviews about its food and charm, I expected Chez l'Ami Jean to be one of our best
dinners, but alas, it was not. It's a
shame, too, because from the moment I walked in, I found it brimming with
possibilities for greatness. By all
means, the atmosphere lived up to the hype.
Locals finishing their meals walked over to the service window to shake
hands with the chef, have a few laughs, and thank him for their meals. As we took our seats near the kitchen, a server
delivered a full terrine of pate de
campagne, a crock of cornichons, and a basket of fresh bread. I couldn't help gushing, and my anticipation
for dinner heightened. We ordered the
tasting menu, and the first dish arrived, a parmesan soup with buttered
breadcrumbs and parsley. A simple,
flavorful opening course that anyone would enjoy. The second course arrived, sausage and oyster
in a mushroom broth, and I liked it but immediately thought the broth was over-salted. In the midst of this course, my opinion
regarding the bistro's charm began its steady decline as I witnessed the chef
yell at a server on the floor a la Hell's
Kitchen, not to mention his incessant loud clapping to summon servers to
the window. The third course arrived,
calamari noodles, chanterelles, and fois gras in another salty broth. Again, the execution and the quality of
ingredients impressed me, but I couldn't get past that broth. At this point, I asked the hubs, "is it just
me?" He tends to like saltier dishes,
and even he agrees. The fourth dish
arrived, roasted monkfish with white beans and bacon in yet another salty broth. Not wanting to offend, I tried to finish the
dish, but the fish was overcooked to the point of requiring a knife to cut it, plus
it had a large, ugly bloodline in it. I
realized that I was in serious trouble as I began to wonder how I would finish
another dish. It wasn't just that the
portions were large, but that coupled with the saltiness made me feel as if I
might swell up and pop the zipper in my dress.
I left a chunk of the fish with bloodline on the plate and reluctantly
finished the rest of the dish. When the
server came by, he asked why I hadn't finished the fish. I paused and considered my options. No matter my response, I would surely be
labeled the ignorant American, so I opted to play the role of the woman who was
simply getting full and saving room for the next course. Thinking this strategy more polite than
criticizing the heavy-handed saltiness of the broths and the overcooked fish, I
expected the server to smile and take away the dish. Instead, he raised his voice to ask again why
I didn't finish the dish and if there was something wrong with it. At this point, what appeared to be the entire
front of house staff surrounded our table to hear my answer, and I suddenly
felt like I had been transported to a theater stage with a full chorus chanting
in stage whispers "she didn't eat the monkfish," and "what's wrong with the
monkfish?" as the music swelled behind them.
Embarrassed, I stuck with my original answer that I was just getting
full, and a cacophony of sighs emerged from the chorus. The rest of the meal is a bit of a blur. We had two more large (and salty) protein
courses each preceded by our server taunting me about whether or not I would be
able to finish them. I did finish them,
but it was a miserable experience. To
add insult to injury, the server arrived at our table with a wry grin on his
face and presented a vat of rice pudding large enough to feed an army. At this point, laughter was the only antidote
to the evening's progression, and although we didn't love the food, the sheer
spectacle of it will forever hold a special place in my heart. We laughed all the way back to our hotel and
then some. Paris

We spent the rest of the afternoon visiting the Pompidou Centre and leisurely walking back. As we strolled through Les Halles, I noticed a large kitchen store on a corner and darted in. It was full of people, which seemed odd, until I realized that it was the store made famous by Julia Child's patronage, E. Dehillerin. For a while, I just worked through the utensils one by one giving myself a sort of, "hmm, what does this do?" quiz. If it hadn't been so crowded, I could've stayed for hours. Instead, we ventured west and ducked into Telescope for a coffee while we waited out the first rain shower of our trip.

We spent the rest of the afternoon strolling through St. Germain. After a leisurely visit to Delacroix's home, we headed to Pierre Herme for a sampler box of macarons. (Earlier in the week, we sampled macarons from Laduree and Sadaharu Aoki, and I needed to try Pierre Herme before we left the city in order to form a somewhat knowledgeable opinion in the whole "best macaron in
debate. While we enjoyed them all, Laduree's pink peppercorn macaron
received my vote for best macaron of the two dozen we tried over the course of
our week.) For our final order of
business, we circled back to La Derniere
Goutte for our final souvenir…a box of wine. These guys are so nice, and their selection
and pricing is great. Just as impressive
as their selection and pricing, the case of wine they packed for us to check as
luggage arrived to Miami in pristine condition.
We began our walk back to the hotel, and I couldn't help wondering if yam'Tcha for lunch, instead of dinner,
had been a mistake. It seemed an
impossibility that any restaurant would compare….but I was wrong. Paris
Friday evening, we headed north on the metro for dinner at Le Chateaubriand. Until this point, our
restaurant experiences had been fairly
low key and quiet (with the obvious exception of Chez l'Ami Jean), and as we stepped onto Avenue Parmentier, I immediately recognized that we were embarking
upon new territory. The streets buzzed with
energy, and I discovered that the "rock n roll" vibe I expected to find in Paris 's hot spots was
alive and well at Le Chateaubriand. Our meal was phenomenal. The dishes ranged from minimalist
thought-provoking ideas to full-flavored bold presentations. Our menu included: Paris
cheese puffs
ceviche shots
fried shrimp with passionfruit powder
squid noodles, squid ink, raw pear
raspberry lobster broth
red snapper, green tomato, pimenton
bream, mushrooms, yellow beans, fermented black beans
rare beef with thin potato crisps and chives
egg yolk atop crunchy meringue
chocolate ganache, fresh mint granite, cocoa powder
fresh strawberries and candied anise seed
As the menu progressed, my admiration for everything Le Chateaubriand amplified. We reached the pinnacle of the meal when a
server presented the egg yolk atop crunchy meringue. He instructed us to eat the whole yolk and
meringue in one bite, so I carefully scooped the full bite into my spoon. Wow!
The yolk oozed into the meringues, and as the crunchy bits of meringue
began to melt, the textures and flavors achieved a beautiful synergy. Without question, that was the best bite of
our vacation. The server smiled and
nodded. Later, he told us that it is his
favorite dish, as well, and the three of us spent a few minutes discussing and honoring
every perfect detail of it. This is the
kind of energy I love in a restaurant. From
the bussers to the kitchen, everyone working there believed in, embraced, and
supported the cause wholeheartedly. Fresh
and hip. Bold and creative. Emotive and smart. Dinner at Le
Chateaubriand transformed and elevated my idea of a great meal, and its
spirit will forever dwell within me.
Best meal of the vacation!

Our week in
was truly unforgettable. I've returned
to Paris with a
new respect for the Parisian way and a keen curiosity for further
exploration. From the happy accidents to
the less-inspired plans, I will cherish every moment. Miami

With the kids at home, this week being their half term, it was a little disappointing for them….well for me as well, at times, especially when they show intentions of bringing the outdoors inside the house…in fact they have really had to be told firmly that the skipping rope or ball has no place inside the house…well, I know they've got to let out their steam…but…
With the temperatures making a nosedive again, things seem to have spiced up a bit on my cooking front. I had picked up a pack of frozen green jackfruit from the local Indian grocer. We, as Assamese do consume quite a lot of jackfruit- both in it's ripe and unripe state. Even the seeds of the ripe fruit are equally savoured.
For the record,
Jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world, reaching 80 pounds in weight and up to 36 inches long and 20 inches in diameter. The exterior of the compound fruit is green or yellow when ripe. The interior consists of large edible bulbs of yellow, banana-flavored flesh that encloses a smooth, oval, light-brown seed. The seed is 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches long and 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and is white and crisp within. There may be 100 or up to 500 seeds in a single fruit, which are viable for no more than three or four days. When fully ripe, the unopened jackfruit emits a strong odour, while the pulp of the opened fruit smells of pineapple and banana.(crfg.org)
Before cutting the fruit, it is important to guard against the sticky latex…the knife, hands and the cutting board should be well greased with oil.(of course, I didn't have to go through all this!!)
The jackfruit has played a significant role in the Indian agriculture (and culture) from times immemorial. Archeological findings in India have revealed that jackfruit was cultivated in India 3000 to 6000 years ago(wiki)
The jackfruit is consumed in both it's ripe and unripe state.We usually make curries out of the unripe ones. By unripe, I mean really unripe. They are usually at the stage when they are very fleshy and the seeds are not even properly formed. We call this stage 'kothalor musi'…they are really small ones. But the ones that I bought were much more matured and were just a step short of being passed for the riper version. But then, something is better….. so I set about making it the way we have it at home…a nice spicy jackfruit curry. Although we usually have it with plain rice and dal, I changed the menu a wee bit and instead cooked the rice with peas, onions and a touch of saffron. With a dollop of cucumber raita on the side, it was a really hearty meal. The spiced jackfruit curry went very well with the relatively mildly flavoured rice and the raita was that little extra something that completed the meal.
So here goes …it's a well long post, but the recipes are worth it, if I may say so myself-
What's needed for the jackfruit curry-
400 gms green jackfruit,(I used the frozen ones which had been already cleaned )
3 potatoes, quartered
1 tomato, sliced
2-3 tblsp of cooking oil
salt to taste
To be ground together to a paste-
1 onion,chopped
1 and1/2"ginger
3-4 pods of garlic
To be dry roasted and powdered-
1′'stick of cinnamon
2 pods of cardamom
2-3 cloves
For tempering-
1 bay leaf
1 whole red chilli
1 tsp cumin seeds
Powder spices-
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp(more or less) chilli powder
How to-
Boil the potatoes 3/4 of the way. drain the water and keep aside.
Place the jackfruit in a microwavable dish with 2 tblsps of water, cover lightly and microwave for 5-6 minutes. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in a pan. Add all the ingredients for tempering. When the seeds splutter, add the onion-ginger-garlic paste along with the powder spices and fry over low heat till the water evaporates.
Add the tomatoes and cook till mushy.
Add the potatoes, stir for a minute and add the jackfruit. Season with salt and stir fry for another minute.
Add 1 glass of water. Cover the pan and cook over low heat till the vegetables are completely done. Mash 1 or 2 pieces of potatoes to thicken the gravy.
Add the roasted and powdered spices, stir in well, and simmer for a minute. Remove from heat and keep covered for 5 minutes so that all the wonderful flavours are infused into the dish.
Now for the saffron and peas rice-
What's needed-
2C of basmati rice, washed and soaked in a little water for 8-10 minutes
2-3 handfuls of fresh green peas
1 small onion, sliced
a pinch of saffron strands
salt to taste
1 tblsp of oil(or butter/ghee)
How to-
Strain the water from the soaked rice and add it to a pan along with the rest of the ingredients and enough water so that the water level is just slightly above the rice level.
Cover and cook over low heat. Check at regular intervals to see that the rice does not burn. Some more water will be needed, but it needs to be added little at a time, each time the water evaporates. This should be done until the rice is cooked through.
Remove the rice from heat and add the oil(or butter/ghee). Replace the lid and keep covered for 5 minutes for the flavours to settle in.
Cucumber raita-
1/2 of a long cucumber
1 and 1/2 C yoghurt
a pinch each of salt, cumin powder, coriander powder and chilli powder
How to-
Cut the cucumber into small pieces.
Add all the other ingredients and mix well.
That's it!!! The raita is ready!! Can be chilled for a while.
I served the rice and curry in layers, with the curry layer in the middle and a helping of raita on the side. If you can't be bothered with the hassle, just go on and dish it up the way you like…won't change the flavours in any way…and that's all that matters. So whatever you do, I hope you'll really enjoy!!!
And since we enjoyed our dinner quite a lot, I'm sending it over to Bee as an entry for JFI, an event originated by Indira of Mahanandi.

There are lots of online gambling web sites that offer no cost on the internet . Nevertheless, it is recommended to read their opinions, reviews of past people, and additional data about them in advance of you start out to engage in critically. A small study beforehand will establish truly handy in picking the greatest on the net casino slots obtainable on the Online.
As a regular traveler to Las Vegas, and other casinos about the United States, I can not count the amount of moments that I have listened to folks inquire, "Why do casinos give no cost drinks?" There are numerous solutions to this concern, but they all revert back to a single straightforward thought.
If you are not profitable nearly anything, you may well want to try out a distinctive device (or home if you are actively playing on the web). Several men and women stay simply because they panic that another person else will gain on the device shortly after and income off of their hard perform. This simply just is not correct and you will just eliminate much more income on a 'cold' device.
And finally in the game of Slots, ascertain how a great deal you want to get rid of right before you begin participating in. When you do win, cash out your earnings so that you can stick to your original amount. Or else, you may well finish up shedding anything you won making an attempt to hit a different significant pot.
Come across out which ones provide a much better opportunity of successful, how lots of credits you will have to engage in to acquire the jackpot and every thing else that goes into it. The distinction in between online gaming and land based casinos is that you can really do this for free of charge ahead of you devote your dollars. This way you can slim down the machines that will bonus you the most and study to stay absent from the "sucker" devices.
These days, most casinos have slot machines and individuals want to participate in video games on it. This activity is a hit or skip, as in other game titles. You could listen to the screams in the casino when you win the jackpot by a couple of pounds a slot device was broken. Playing pokies is like actively playing the slots at the slot devices. Pokies can be said to be one particular of the most often applied resource of enjoyment for Australia, as the heritage and recognition in Australia.

Feb. 28, 2009
It was a windy Saturday at the Scott Speicher Center but that didn't stop the No. 16-ranked Florida State men's tennis team from blowing away the No. 24-ranked Miami Hurricanes. FSU defeated Miami 4-3 and improved to 10-4 overall and 1-0 in ACC action while the Hurricanes fell to an even 4-4 on the year, including 1-1 in league play.
The Seminoles went up 3-0, including the doubles' point but the match was decided by senior Maciek Sykut's victory at No. 3 singles.
"It was 3-0 but I knew we were kind of struggling in a couple of the matches," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I actually made a comment to my two assistant coaches when we were up 3-0 that I felt it was important for Maciek to win, to give us another chance because at the time I felt like Clint (Bowles) was a little bit tired, Drew (Bailey) was down a break and Chris (Cloer) was down a break. There were five three-setters and we've had a lot of really tight matches the last few years."
With the match knotted at 3-3, all eyes were on the No. 3 singles match between Sykut and Miami's Ignacio Taboada. After falling 7-5 in the first set, Sykut found himself down 5-4 in the second set but battled back and after taking a 4-1 advantage in set three, went on to win convincingly by a score of 6-3 to clinch the FSU victory.
"Maciek faced game-point down for the other guy to serve for the match multiple times, I don't know how many there were but he was break-point down and held that off," Hultquist said. "I think you saw a guy who's played a lot of college tennis and has won a lot of matches and the third set was maybe about as good as he can play.
"Maciek did a great job of coming up to the net and finishing off around the net and also, I felt like he served well late in the match," Hultquist continued. "He had some service winners. That last game wasn't in doubt but he kind of stepped it up and closed it off really solidly."
Junior Vahid Mirzadeh totally dominated his match at No. 4 singles and allowed Miami's David Simon to score just one point as he recorded the 6-0, 6-1 victory. Seminole junior Jean-Yves Aubone lost his first set before storming back to win his match. At No. 1 singles, Aubone fell 1-6 in the first set but recovered confidently to win the second and third sets 6-3 and 6-2, respectively.
The Seminoles earned the doubles' point in just 50 minutes of doubles play as all three FSU doubles teams won by a score of 8-4. The No. 1 doubles team of Jean Yves Aubone/Vahid Mirzadeh got off to a slow start and found themselves tied 2-2 with Miami's Christian Blocker/David Simon before scoring three straight points to take control and was the first match to finish. On court two, the match between FSU's Maciek Sykut/Drew Bailey and Miami's David Rosenfeld/Keith Crowley saw four ties before the Seminoles scored the last four points for the victory. The Seminoles' doubles team of Clint Bowles/Chris Reiman jumped out to a 4-0 advantage over Miami's Ignacio Taboada/Carl Sundberg and never looked back.
"The doubles – we won kind of handily and I am not sure what to attribute that to," Hultquist said. "I think we won a lot of close games. If we play them again, they may win it. It certainly wasn't we were just a lot better, it was one of those matches where maybe we got a few breaks and were able to hold sometimes when it was tough."
Rival-play continues when the Seminoles host Florida on Tuesday, March 3rd at 5 p.m. at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"Miami's got an awful lot of good players and we do as well and anytime you have a rivalry like that, you expect it to kind of be that way," Hultquist said. "For us, we've got to prepare for Tuesday night when we've got Florida. We play rivals back-to-back so we've got to prepare really quickly the next two days."
Final Score:
#16 Florida State 4, #24 Miami 3
Box Score
No. 1: #19 Jean-Yves Aubone (FSU) def. David Rosenfeld (UM) – 1-6, 6-3, 6-2
No. 2: Christian Blocker (UM) def. #55 Clint Bowles (FSU) – 7-5, 4-6, 6-3
No. 3: Maciek Sykut (FSU) def. Ignacio Taboada (UM) – 4-6, 7-5, 6-3
No. 4: Vahid Mirzadeh (FSU) def. David Simon (UM) – 6-0, 6-1
No. 5: #96 Carl Sundberg (UM) def. Chris Cloer (FSU) – 6-4, 2-6, 6-4
No. 6: Keith Crowley (UM) def. Drew Bailey (FSU) – 5-7, 7-5, 6-2
Order of finish: 4, 1, 2, 6, 5, 3

No. 2: Drew Bailey/Maciek Sykut (FSU) def. David Rosenfeld/Keith Crowley 8-4

Eight parking spaces on a busy downtown Orlando street were blocked off and became, well, something else.
The "One Less Car, One More Park" event was meant to promote alternative modes of transportation. Biking, taking the bus or carpooling to work means fewer cars on the road, which means fewer parking spaces are needed.

As the year comes to an end, most Massachusetts residents consider what they will do to make the New Year a better one. Although some think of the New Year as bringing new and exciting life events, some married couples might use this as a time to take a break or start fresh. Although there is never an ideal time to get a divorce, a rough year of disputes could cause spouses to seek separation or a dissolution of their marriage.
Tax implications during asset distribution in a divorce
Whether a couple is together for a few years or decades, there are various important factors to consider and go over during the dissolution of their marriage. Married couples in Massachusetts going through a divorce may have some serious family law issues to get through. For most, property division is not only an important decision-making process but it is also a very difficult procedure to work through. It could also become very complex if the couple has numerous assets and marital property. Furthermore, how they distribute their property could also affect them in other ways down the line.
Considering the collaborative approach for divorce settlements
When couples in Massachusetts decide to get married, many decisions go into making that desire a reality. The same goes for divorce. When a marriage turns sour, the choice to dissolve the marriage is often a very difficult reality to face. No matter the reason the couple decides to part ways, the divorce process often means facing a difficult decision-making process, which often includes major issues such as property division.
The benefits of collaborative divorce and family law mediation
The prospect of a divorce conjures images of lengthy court battles and bitter fights for many Massachusetts residents. Although litigation cannot be avoided in every case, family law mediation or collaborative divorce offer realistic alternatives to the traditional path of litigation.
The unexpected questions in property division
One of the hardest aspects of a divorce is often determining which spouse gets what from the marital property. In fact, the issue of property division can be so divisive that spouses splitting on amicable terms could even find themselves in a trial disputing ownership of certain assets. While it may be easy to anticipate some legal struggle over the obvious major assets, say over ownership of the family home or motor vehicles, it often happens that major disputes occur over assets that many spouses did not even consider when first entering into their divorce.
Dial-a-Lawyer hosted by Massachusetts Bar Association
People going through or considering a divorce oftentimes find themselves in need of advice. While it may be possible to find emotional comfort and reassurance from family and friends, finding a reliable expert for legal questions can be more difficult. Hoping to reach out to individuals in their community who maybe in need of their services, the Massachusetts Bar Association will be hosting a Phone-a-Lawyer service where people in need of legal advice can call in and get their questions answered.
Postnuptial agreements can be helpful during property division
Prenuptial agreements do not carry the stigma that they once did, and today many couples choose to protect their assets through such an agreement. The postnuptial agreement, which is created after a couple is already married, is less well known by society. Just like prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements can be very helpful for property division during a divorce.
Heartwarming story shows power of adoption
Adopting a child can be one of the most rewarding decisions that a couples in Salem can make. Through adoption, couples who often cannot have children of their own are able to provide a loving home to a child that may otherwise have a difficult life.
Man arrested for failing to pay $1.2 million in child support
While a divorce in Massachusetts dissolves a marriage, it also creates a set of legally binding promises between the ex-spouses. One such obligation is child support, in which the non-custodial parent promises to make payments to the custodial parent.
New Federal tax law will affect property division during divorce
Salem residents who follow the news are likely very familiar with the "fiscal cliff" that dominated headlines at the end of 2012. To avert this fiscal cliff, Congress passed a series of tax reforms entitled the American Taxpayer Relief Act. The ATRA went into effect on January 1, 2013, and is already affecting property division during divorce.

She is a photographer, so photoshop is the major "speed test" I was thinking first off I would add a 7200 RPM 100Gbyte HDD. Next would be an upgraded video card (up from the stock one w/ a whopping 16Mbytes of VRAM) I was thinking this one:http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4054382?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG Thats AGP, would PCI be better? Anyway, to top it all off I am thinking the compaq USB 2.0/Firewire PCI card would be nice, for $29 and being that her camera uses USB 2.0 Anyone have any suggestions?

Doctor and botanist - Discovery 1901-04
Reginald Koettlitz was a naturalized Briton, the son of a Reformed Lutheran Church minister (his father was from Koenigsburg, then in Prussia) and an English lady who settled at Hougham, Kent near to Dover in the 1860's.
The grandfather had been the chief of police
in Konigsburg. The family moved to Germany to Koln area to escape
religious persecution. The father of Reginald married an English
governess in Germany. They moved to Ostend Belgium where various
children were born (Reginald on the 23rd of December 1860).
However again due to persecution they moved close to Dover,
Hougham and Dover itself. Where they had a doctors surgery.
The father on a census was put down as a spy by the enumerator.
His position in the Discovery expedition was a condition imposed by Sir Alfred Harmsworth, who donated the very large sum of Ł5000 toward the expedition, Armitage (also of the Jackson-Harmworth Expedition) was also included as a member of the expedition in the same manner.
Four years away seemed to alight a wanderlust and on that expedition ending, he accompanied other expeditions to Abyssinia, Somaliland and Brazil before joining the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901 at the age of 40.
Medical duties were usually expected to be light on such expeditions as the crew and men were chosen partly for their good health and fitness, Koettlitz was also to act as botanist to the expedition. The land flora of Antarctica is very poor, generally consisting of lichens and mosses, though phytoplankton were also studied as part of this botanical remit.
During the Discovery Expedition, Koettlitz removed a cyst from First Lieutenant Royds' cheek, said to be one of the first Antarctic operations.
Later members of Reginald's family family took the surname of the mother rather than continue to use Koettlitz. A sister of Reginald married Mesnel the anarchist in France. A brother was a composer and moved to London.
Reginald Koettlitz died in South Africa in January 1916 of dysentery along with his wife.
With thanks to Douglas Dickson for further information.
