Basic Service Management is now available
Written by the IT Skeptic!!
This book is about how to run services, in any organisation, in any industry. It describes the basics, the core stuff, in realistic pragmatic terms. And it is pragmatically brief - we kept it to 50 paperback pages.
According to Axelos numbers for the first half of 2014, ITIL exams worldwide have fallen 11% compared to the first half of 2013.
I'm surprised that folk can say "X is the best" when they have no idea of someone's requirements.
If you evaluate a tool based on features, you're doing it wrong.
Listening to the DevOps world (I am immersing, or at least paddling) it sounds so exactly like the ITIL experience that I am literally laughing out loud:
Somebody asked me this question recently: ITIL v3 - what standard is this based on? I thought I'd share (and extend) my reply here.
There is no standard for ITIL, at any version. ITIL is not based on any standard. No organisation can be certified as compliant with ITIL.
Nailed it.The Practitioner's Dilemma: How to Adapt ITIL http://itsmtransition.com/2014/07/how-to-adapt-itil/
"The magic happens when practitioners become expert at adapting best practices to solve their organization's challenges."
Well yes. That's been true of consulting forever. ITIL only ran off the rails when supposed experts lost sight of that
ITIL is the dominant language of ITSM. It may not stay that way but that's how it is for now.
A client asked me the other day what language she should use to frame discussions as she settles into her role running IT operations in a new organisation. I said it has to be ITIL.
I'm fed up to here with folk shooting the message. ITIL works. It's good (not necessarily great but it is good. It will do, it's fit for purpose.) Most of the backlash against ITIL is because of the idiots running around with some strange ideas about ITIL.
Fix the way we change ITSM behaviours, not the models of that behaviour. ITIL is near enough.
I want to call out a key issue I see over and over again in organisations' planning of their ITSM improvement (known as Continual Service Improvement or CSI - nothing to do with police forensics). An ITIL process is not a unit of work.
Axelos and itSMF have signed a Memorandum of Understanding over ITIL. It took a while and it doesn't seem to say much (though who would know for sure as we don't actually get to see it). I guess this is a reflection of the strategic importance of itSMF to the business of ITIL, i.e. not much.

No problems with using both the Cisco client and the built-in here either.
Might I add that I couldn't get NAT'ing to work with the built-in client, meaning I cannot contact other local machines on the VPN network via TCP. Something with the SL client not supporting TCP and UDP encapsulation.

Chicago is stuck with Caleb Hanie, who had a thrilling few minutes as an emergency relief pitcher in last season's NFC title game against Green Bay.
Hanie has played well below average since taking over for Cutler this time around, however.
Ah, but that's just a sideshow to the real drama.
"We've had to prepare Orton to get ready to play and he may have to, but he may not," head coach Todd Haley said. "We're really focused on how we want to start this game and we know what we need to do."
The start will be Palko's third straight since Matt Cassel was placed on injured reserve with a hand injury. Orton last played on October 9th in Denver's 29-24 loss to San Diego.

and Panpanit 1987). ReA after shigellosis is rare: in studies of Israeli soldiers with acute diarrheal illnesses, 336 cases of shigellosis were documented from 1993 to 1997 in the field units under surveillance, and none of the subjects developed ReA or ankylosing spondylitis (Bloom et al. 1994).
The most conclusive evidence regarding the incidence of ReA due to Shigella infection comes from the recent population-based study of Hannu et al. (2005). Of 278 patients with Shigella-positive stool cultures, 7% had ReA, and an additional 2% developed other reactive musculoskeletal symptoms; one of the 597 controls had ReA. In the Shigella-positive patients, the odds ratio for developing ReA was 16.2 (95% CI, 2.1-123.9). Some 36% of the ReA patients were HLA-B27-positive. Several additional studies and case reports support the findings of Hannu et al. (Chen et al. 2002; Davies et al. 1969; Finch et al. 1986; Lauhio et al. 1988; Neithercut et al. 1984; Noer 1966; Sieper et al. 1993; Simon et al. 1981).
The committee concludes that there is sufficient evidence of an association between Shigella infection and reactive arthritis (ReA), if the ReA is manifested within 3 months of the infection. Most cases of ReA will be manifested within 1 month of the infection.
Acute shigellosis may lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening disease that afflicts primarily young children and the elderly (Ilnyckyj et al. 2003; Okhuysen et al. 2004). HUS is defined as a clinical triad of hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction. It is usually manifested within 6-10 days of the onset of shigellosis; more rarely, people with shigellosis-associated HUS can come to clinical attention as late as 30 days after the onset of enteritis (Nathoo et al. 1995; Parsonnet and Griffin 1993).
Shiga toxins produced by some Shigella strains (particularly S. dysenteriae) cause HUS by damaging endothelial cells, especially in the kidneys. The damage leads to microangiopathy, which results in microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, renal failure, and systemic illness.
There have been many published cases of HUS that occurred after shigellosis. For example, HUS occurred after Shigella infection in two of 42 US tourists to Mexico in 1988 (Parsonnet et al. 1989), 40 of 320 (12%) patients in Bangladesh admitted to a hospital (Rahaman et al. 1975), nine of 241 (4%) patients in Bangladesh (Koster et al. 1978), and seven of 36 (19%) patients in South Africa (Bloom et al. 1994).
The committee concludes that there is sufficient evidence of an association between Shigella infection and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), if HUS is manifested within 1 month of the infection. Most cases of HUS will be manifested within 10 days of the infection.
Human brucellosis is a chronic intracellular infectious process that involves Brucella spp. and the human reticuloendothelial system. The process may harm any organ in the human body. Up to 10% of people infected with brucellae may develop chronic disease, which is often due to relapses after partial therapy or to disease progression after undiagnosed and untreated acute disease. Although brucellosis occurs sporadically in many countries, it is endemic in areas of southwest and south-central Asia. The committee discusses below the clinical spectrum of

Cattaraugus County Center For the Performing Arts
10 Main Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 17 comments
While the John and Drew Eberson Architectural Records from the Wolfsonian Library lists five theaters that John Eberson designed for the Schine circuit, the Seneca Theatre is not among them. In fact, Salamanca is not mentioned in the records at all. I wonder if the theater is just missing from the Wolfsonian's archive, or if it has been mis-attributed to the Ebersons?
Any interior photos?
Now thats quite a long name for a theatre.
P.S. Naylor also describes the Seneca's original style as "late Art Deco."
Since 11/06, posters have identified John and Drew Eberson as architects, but the introduction still says "unknown." Why? David Naylor claims the Ebersons in his book, ""Great American Movie Theaters. Naylor also says that for the reopening as the Cattargus County Arts Center, "the Seneca interior has been adapted to include a 650-seat playhouse, art galleries, a dance studio and meeting rooms." Since Naylor's book was published in 1987, that configuration might no longer be true.
Patsy: Later in his life and practice, father and son often joined forces to work on projects. There are quite a few theaters that list both John and Drew as the architects of record.
I have visited it as it was part of the Schine Theater Chain and it really is a lovely little place. It has been quite altered inside due to a couple of floodings and to create more servicable areas to meet the theaters needs. But the facade and marquee are still quite nice and they have started a "Walk of Fame" in front of the theater. Of course Ray Evans is the first and biggest star!
Ray Evans, the songwriter of such enduring standards as "Mona Lisaâ€, "Silver Bellsâ€, "Que Sera, Sera†and "Buttons and Bows,†was born in Salamanca, New York on February 4, 1915.
This theatre was also known as the Ray Evans Theatre as he was Salamanca and wrote Silver Bells.
On Cinema Tour this theatre is listed and the architects are mentioned as being John Eberson AND Drew Eberson. Can anyone verify this? Also on Cinema Tour it lists the theatre as seating 1150 and built in 1942. Also on Cinema Tour a Cattaraugus Theatre in listed in Cattaraugus NY (14 Washington) that is now closed.
Patsy: I've only been to Cattaraugus a couple of times in my life so I dont know when they ended. Sorry
David Chapman: Thanks for your memories. Do you know when the theatre days ended in Cattaraugus?
My grandfather Alden Lundergan was the projectionist until I believe 1969. I remember him taking me upstairs to the booth sometimes when he worked. Dolores Rettburg was the lady in the ticket window inside. Those days seem so far away.
I've just been told that in Cattaraugus New York there was a Cattaraugus Theatre. This theatre is listed on Cinema Tour as being closed. Does anyone have any additional information?
This theatre is less than 50 miles from the Reg Lenna Theatre in Jamestown NY and the Reg is listed on this theatre website.
The correct spelling is Cattaraugus County, not Cattaragus County. The theatre is also now sometimes known as the Cattaraugus County Living Arts Center.
The Seneca Theatre is located at 10 Main Street and it seated 1272 people when it was a movie theatre.

Bookmarks at the Museum Presents the Fifty Shades Trilogy
Join Dennis Norman for Bookmarks at the Museum at the Westchester Township History Museum. Refreshments will be served. Scandalous and intriguing, raunchy and sinful. Few books have impassioned as much debate, conversation, and excitement as the "Fifty Shades Trilogy" by British author E.L. James. Though panned by some literary critics as "asinine," "depressing," and "torturous," the erotic trilogy was No. 1 on the list of bestselling books in USA Today for 20 weeks, breaking a previous record of 16 weeks and "The Hunger Games." But what is the fuss all about? Norman will explore the social and moral implications of the "Fifty Shades Trilogy" and the public response to it. Bookmarks takes place on the third Thursday of the month at the museum and on the third Friday of the month at Michigan City Public Library, 100 E. 4th St., Michigan City. It is not necessary to read the book before attending. Books are available at both Thomas and Hageman Libraries. The museum, a free cultural and educational service of Westchester Public Library, is open to the public Wednesday-Sunday from 1-5 p.m. or by appointment.

"Conducive to dancing the night away, you *must* dance these lethal concotions off." in 5 reviews
Good For Dancing: Yes
"I'm a huge fan of Mahiki, so I couldn't wait to try the newest addition to their family Kanaloa." in 6 reviews
"I also had a gorgeous Pina Colada which came in a frozen pineapple!" in 2 reviews
I have done a lof of paparazzi photography work inside and outside of the Kanaloa Club.
During late evenings and the weekends, usually.
The famous faces I have photographed were Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Claire Danes, Daimen Lewis, Zac Efron, Cameron Diaz, Colin Firth, Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, January Jones, Melissa George, Emma Watson, and Kylie Minogue, and the list goes on and on.
I'm sorry guys, I had a really disappointing experience at Kanaloa.
My girlie friends wanted to "chillax" on Friday and after work, we went to various bars, had dinner around St Pauls, and they decided to go to Kanaloa afterwards. Now I haven't been to a club for a good amount of years (nor do I miss it), but I do expect not to be treated like scum of the earth.
We were 3 girls, paid £10 each to get in at around 10-11ish. We were each given a flower necklace (I'm guessing it's called a Lei) and to the bar for a drink. They were all tropical Tiki themed. I had the Coconut Canonball which came with the cute fuzzy little coconut but was a bit strange tasting. It had a slight sour taste to it which I wasn't really expecting. It was an ok drink and I don't doubt that this is what it should taste like but I just preferred sweeter drinks, which I was expecting from the ingredients. Drinks are around £8-10 mark.
My friends ordered Kanaloa Kula and I believe a Diablo, which I quite liked as it was sweet tasting. The barman was really friendly and gave us girls each an orchid off the stem, even wiping it off before giving to us so we could play with/decorate our hair with. So far as good right? Yep, but read on.
We turned right into the little enclosed dance floor room, which had quite a lot of people on a Friday night but was in no way packed. There seemed to be a big party at the sofa area. We wandered to the table next to the bar and dumped our bags and coats on a stool and stood around the table to sip our drinks. Within 5 seconds, the security guard (who we later gathered was called Richard from the security manager), came over and said we cannot put our stuff there and had to put it into the cloakroom (at least this was what I gather he was trying to say as the music here is overwhelming and I could barely hear anything). My friend pointed out to him that the party at the sofa had dumped a huge amount of items onto the sofa and why wasn't he speaking to them but only picking on us? We tried to move away from this irritating person and put our stuff onto the sofa with the other people and he just kept following us and basically stressing us out.
So when the security guard figured that we weren't scared of his power trip antics, he decided to call the rest of the team. Within another few minutes, 5 butch security guards were stood in front of us spread out in a threatening manner. Now, seeing as I didn't hear most of what was going on, I found this was a very disturbing scene. We had not caused trouble, we were not drunk girls, we had not hit anyone, nor were we shouting at anything or anyone. This security guard had decided to show us who's boss.
My friend wasn't having this and went outside to speak with the manager. I didn't go along with them and I stayed inside just standing there sipping my drink and waiting to see what was going on, as to be honest, I didn't like confrontation and I do not like being outside of public view as anything can happen outside.
It seemed the issue got resolved and my friends came back, but the mood was ruined. I was quite angry that after that incident, another group of Indian girls basically did the exact same things as us, they put their bags onto the exact same chair and now THAT security guard decided he was not going to confront them. Really? Is it now a racism issue then? Because 2 of us were Chinese?
We left about an hour or two later, when we were outside looking for the taxi, I spoke to the security at the door and that's how I figured out what was happening all that time. He decided to give my friends free cloakroom as he agreed that it was a very heavy handed way of dealing with the issue. And he said that because he couldn't hear anything on the walkie talkie about what was happening, all the guards turned up instead of just 1 or 2.
I have my doubts about what really happened, but I know this person I was talking to at the door is quite reasonable. It was just the initial guy "Richard" who was really going out of his way to spoil our night. I really didn't expect this from the sister club to Mahiki to be honest. Return trip? No thanks. I am not a teenager anymore, I do not like being harrassed like I was a child. We ARE all adults here right?
If you like pina coladas or getting caught in the rain...
then visit this spot in the winter, like I did.
For a space so tight, we actually we were able to get our groove on, Saturday night. Strange to get to as you're passing by many corporate buildings as you walk in your heels over, but a great find with a packed house.
The dj was spinning fun tunes, so I enjoyed shaking my money maker after a hard week at work. Not the best place to get a cab, so prep for that with a change of shoes to make the trek over to a more populated area.
For what it's worth, I don't go out much and neither do the people I went with, and we really had a good time. So, hope you do too.
Let me give you the atypical review: I didn't go here to dance, and there was nobody dancing wen I was here. It was a Tuesday night, the second stop on a Tequila Tuesday, and it was so quiet that we had our pick of tables, and basically the sole attention of the server. I mean, read that like it really is: we had free table service! (On a Tuesday, when it was dead...)
The venue itself is pretty cool--they've definitely committed to the tiki bar theme, top to bottom, windows to walls. That's great for theme parties, I would imagine. The drinks are cool too--well themed, and the pina colada I had from a frozen pineapple was very good. Expensive, but strong by club standards, so I'm not complaining.
The biggest thing worth noting is that this is in the middle of the City. That's great, as there's not a ton of clubs in the city, but it also makes it a little bit weird to get to. It's always going to be super quiet when you come out at night too, which can, if you haven't had enough to drink, be a little odd. Other than that, nothing blew me away, but nothing to complain about.
Oh, they also have tons of bathroom stalls. That's so important, I'm willing to note it!
How exciting! The sister bar to Mahiki, open for business. Like any good yelper, I had to know if Kanaloa could be a contender.
The City isn't one of my usual haunts so it took me a while to find Kanaloa. In retrospect it isn't difficult to find at all. There isn't much competition in the vicinity so Mahiki's little sister has no choice but to be a destination bar and club.
I arrived at 6:30pm to a comfortable but not busy bar. The relatively modest entrance opens up to a low-lit tiki themed bar you'd expect to see in a 4/5* Barbados hotel. Wicca furniture, totems and hot island love molds seamlessly into contemporary bar furnishings and classy mega city decor. It wasn't long before my partner and I were approached by a lady in a sophisticated and vibrant evening dress and offered a seat of our choice and two menu's. The cocktail list is extensive and very impressive. The tiki theme holds sway and from £7 cocktails served in real coconuts to £100 cocktails served in mini coffins the options are both imaginative, potent and tasty.
By the end of the night I had sampled the decent but not mind-blowing food, enjoyed live music, and been looked after attentively by our waitress. So is Kanaloa a contender? It is a tough call. I haven't sampled the late night atmosphere, and even though our evening was nice, I do not believe it broke new ground, or enticed me enough to become a regular. I have no doubt the big spending city boys will be calling it home soon.
A welcome change from the usual night spots in the city. Whilst I didn't quite feel like I was on the North Shore with the roar of backdoor pipeline thundering outside, it was definitely a solid step up from the run of the mill, picked straight from the catalogue, pub that permeates the city.
They put in a decent effort with the interior decor, and by having a cover band on a Tuesday night. The menu was really creative, albeit somewhat pricey, but you gotta expect pricey in that location. The staff had a good vibe going down and were really friendly. In fact I would've given them 4 stars if the bathroom attendant hadn't got *so* friendly, he practically asked for my phone number...
Always a bridesmaid and never a bride when it comes to Kanaloa, I literally pass by this place every day on my way to and from work. I have seen boys in ridiculous fur hats smoking outside, girls in architeturally unsound shoes trying to negotiate black car rides home in the rain, and finally, even a random circus-dressed performer blowing fire in front of the entrance queue.
Yup, high expectations Kanaloa, and you were ... ALRIGHT I GUESS.
I came on a Wednesday night (don't judge meee!) and immediately started off with maitai's (delicious and served in amusing cups) and sambuca shots (less delicious and more ominous looking). The night mellowed out with mojitos and a dark and stormy (very ginger tasting and very good!).
In all, I was very satisfied with the drinks and glassware and somewhat pleased by the island motif going on. The music was sporadically good and the after hours douchey City crowd was AS EXPECTED.
The most hilarious thing about the entire experience was our super sassy server who, with an artful flip of his choppy fringe haircut, declared to me that there was no way he could have gotten our drinks wrong. He later gave us the side eye when one of my companions accidentally knocked over an empty glass of ice and finally announced his intention to sit with us after we repeatedly ignored his declarations that the venue was closed.
Never change, you!
I love a good tiki bar and whilst Mahiki has established itself as London's key polynesion playground, the place is a bit pretentious, overpriced and frankly quite average. So when a friend suggested Kanaloa - I thought unless they were charging £400 at the door, there wasn't too much that could go wrong.
Kanaoloa is actually a bit ugly inside, and does unfortunatley lack the slightly more refined décor and clientele of Mahiki. With beer goggles off, the place had the very standing 'city' interior of boring wooden tables and chairs and was slightly grubby.
The drinks however, were yum and well themed, and far most reasonably priced than their Mayfair big brother's, and with two large bars, you didn't need to queue for long to get a drink. The music was average chart stuff, but with enough of a beat to get you dancing. Nothing too mind-blowing however, and I can't imagine anyone other than the KissFM DJ's making an appearance here.
Overall an average night, made fun primarily by the company I was with. Unlikely to go again unless going with a top crew.
Tucked away down the pedestrianised side of shoe lane, if you were familiar with this venue when it was known as Alibi, the lay of the land here will not come as much of a shock. It is more or less the same as previous but one corner has been better sectioned off to create a distinct dancefloor area, the Tiki seating around the place is in abundance, and the decor is generally much improved. The bar is still to the left, kitchen to the left-back and toilets upstairs, that's all the same.
What can I say about Kanaloa. The first time I attempted to go here the doormen were distinctly icy and did not let us in, this being when it was new and playing itself up to be exclusive. This seems to have since passed, which is a good thing, thumbs up.
Next things next, cover charge is high. £20 if you are not organised enough to get yourself on a guestlist in advance.
I was here late-ish on a Friday night. It was loud. Very loud. And middle of the road chart/dance music playing too. If you intend on having any deep conversations, get them out of the way before hitting Kanaloa.
The drinks are as advertised. Exotic, come in funky glasses, strong, expensive, and the bartenders put on a good show when making them for you. Conducive to dancing the night away, you *must* dance these lethal concotions off.
The crowd is a nice mix. You really get all sorts in here. And the staff I would say are top rate. All extremely friendly and up for creating a party atmosphere. The best asset to this place in my opinion. If your wallet can take it, you can end up having quite a good, late night here.
The team also make an effort to organise themed nights on most nights of the week, i.e. ladies night, club tropicana 80s night, that sort of thing.
My overall analysis, it's overpriced but if are willing to fork out the cash you are unlikely to ever have a bad night here (unless the lethal cocktails disagree with you!).
This place gets a massive thumbs up from me! The hostess Hayley is so gorgeous and reallllly good at her job! I also had a gorgeous Pina Colada which came in a frozen pineapple! Proper cheesy 90's tunessssss too!
I've given this place 2 stars only because I am sure some people like it...just not my cup of tea...
This is a sister bar/club of Mahiki's. So tropical themed.
Went there on a Friday night as part of my boyf's work thingy. We had booked a table so had no issues with queues or paying. (If you book a table, there is a £500 min payment so you get to skip the £20 entry charge).
The place was sooooo CROWDED!! You just could not move past anyone.
The music was LOUD!! So LOUD! and, for me, really daggy (kinda RnB and pop).
The crowd seemed to be young after work professionals, prob city workers.
There was some VERY awkward dancing going on (think the chicken song moves but to Beyonce music).
Good selection of cocktails, drinks were quite expensive. Thank god we had drinks brought to the table because the queues for the bar looked ridiculous!
Over all, I personnaly would not pick this place for a night out.
I'm a huge fan of Mahiki, so I couldn't wait to try the newest addition to their family Kanaloa. I'd been reading reviews of the place for a while and had even signed myself up for the friends of Kanaloa membership card should the chance to trek into central London for drinks on a school night ever present itself!
I finally got the opportunity to visit on Wednesday and I'm pleased to report that it suceeded my high expectations. The staff were extremely helpful and I was delighted to find that my membership card got me a free glass of Laurent Perrier Rose at the bar. Whilst the champagne was fantastic, no one visits a tiki bar without sampling a cocktail and as it was happy hour we decided to start the evening with a shared cocktail for two! The happy hour discounts were incredible and a drink that would have set us back £18.00 was priced at just £10 from 4pm to 8pm.
Compared to Mahiki, drinks prices seemed to be slightly on the cheaper side and single drinks were priced at £5 or from £8 after the end of happy hour. As you would expect, our drink was presented beautifully in a boat shaped vessel and decked with out with flowers and aloe vera leaves. You almost wanted to sit and take photographs of it, rather than ruin the appearance by drinking it! Kanaloa use the Mahiki brand of rum, so the cocktails were very similair in taste to their Mahikian counterparts.
With a whole tiki menu to work through, I'll definitely be coming back to Kanaloa.
This place is definitely a bit cheesy, but if you're going to a Tiki bar/club, you know that already. We had a comfy little corner to hang out in, a Beach Boys cover band to listen to, and a giant cocktail served in a wooden coffin. Yes, this cocktail is worth a star by itself. How did it taste? Fine, I'm sure. Was it pricey? I'd bet it was, but who knows. But you're missing the point- it was served (with rose petals and roman candles and four straws) in a wooden coffin. It couldn't not make me happy.
Nothing too special. Fairly standard tiki bar type experience, with a nice crowded dance floor. The clientele was fairly pretty. I ordered a honey based drink that looked like it was going to be good (they put some interesting looking honey cream into it), but was way too sweet to be enjoyable. I got some dancing in and was quite happy.
We came here for an office party for the half priced cocktails and boy was I surprised! I never had to wait more than 5 mins for my cocktail to be made and they were all really delicious. Al the bartender was really nice and quick to make the drinks. The venue is tiki themed and there were girls doing Hawaiian dancing on the dance floor. All in all a fun time and happy hour made it really affordable!
Another tiki themed bar. Like the others its not cheap but you can come during happy hour for half price drinks. If you go, it's the most fun to get a table and order the themed drinks like the treasure chest or canon. The drinks are what makes this place stand out.
i have such mixed feelings about kanaloa.
i really want to like it. i really do! it just feels like it has an extrodinary jaw-dropping appearance with no soul.
i'll put it out there that i am a purveyor of all things associated with classic 1960's polynesian-pop -- whether it be finely crafted cocktails with freshly squeezed juices, dark moody lighting with exotica music teasing you, intricately crafted carvings mixed with large floats and puffer fish dangling from the ceilings, or the overwhelming feeling that you have escaped to an exotic isle and time no longer exists. this is what the kanaloa is trying to capture, and is somewhat successful due to the amazing decor and carvings. however, kanaloa crashes and burns in the area of concept design. and this is what i predict will cause its untimely closure within the next few years after the new-ness fades. the club music and atmosphere contained within a throw-back salute to the 60's tiki bar just doesnt mix. it seems like if they kept the club stuff concentrated to the separate enclosed dance/club area, they might really have something here.
sadly, i cant review the drinks because of the TWO times i went, the bartender wasn't there. this begs the question, what's going on with the management??
i do recommend still going, though, due to the absolutely amazing decor. i suggest to bring ear-plugs if you are a tiki purist.
oh, and do NOT trust the google map to the right of this screen. it is completely wrong and maps the wrong area for kanaloa. since blackfriars tube station is closed, the closest stop would be chancery lane, go east on high holborn and turn right onto shoe lane. google likes to say it is located on "wine office court" for some reason.
Hidden out of the way this is one of the best tiki cocktails bar's for me in London. I'm obsessed with the Rockabilly, Sailor Jerry, rum, scene so when I heard about this through an event called shore leave, it seemed right up my street and it has to be said it didn't disappoint! The decor is absolutely amazing think of a tropical tiki bar with bamboo, shells, coconut and pineapples! Think rum, pirates and wooden tiki's. There seems to have been a lot of attention to detail here, with some well placed decorations. I was particularly impressed as the bar smelt so nice and although it took me a while I realised it was because they had huge vases of real Star Gazer Lilies. I love that certain cocktails come in Tiki mugs which really adds to the experience. The cocktails themselves are good quality and very tasty (from what I tried from my and my friends selections). I didn't try the food so cannot comment on that! The only downside was the price of the drinks which are about £8 -£13, however I think that they are worth the cost and as it's happy hour Monday to Friday 4.30-8pm, you can get some reasonably priced drinks in these hours.
This tiki bar is apparently run by the same people who did Mahiki, which might give you some idea of what to expect. The funky decor, low lighting and cute waitresses in costumes make for a fun atmosphere, but you'll have to get there fairly early if you want to bag a table to enjoy it. Later on the place will be full of the usual heavy-drinking groups of guys and stunning, immaculately groomed girls, although there seems to be none of the snobbish ill will that you occasionally get at Mahiki. The drinks are well made and innovative, although I sadly didn't have enough money to try some of their more flamboyant concoctions! The free bar snacks we were served were really tasty, but they didn't make up for the fact that they'd added way too much ice to the drinks and the amount of liquid we received was relatively minimal. I'm not usually one to quibble, but their prices are expensive enough that they shouldn't have to skimp on ingredients. Having said that, it does create a nice little Polynesian paradise in an otherwise sedate area and it is hard not to have at least a little fun..

Glee crack!shipping → Sugary
"You know, you and I, we're the same— except for the part where I'm a better singer and you just sound like Bea Arthur after getting hit in the head and waking up thinking she was born with buckles on her shoes and a four leaf clover sticking out of her forehead… Sorry, Aspergers."
Rory, despite being the one with the accent, found it difficult to understand the girl in front of him. She was thin and beautiful and stood in heels with her head held high in confidence as she spoke, but her voice had a sort of scratch to it, it was displeasing to his ears as though he could already tell that the voice that she had earlier mentioned of having was a bit exaggerated. Her voice was a little displeasing to hear, but the forward confrontation lacking introductions was actually pleasing. It was better than a greeting that involved his face only being remembered being with a locker next to it rather than a name.
He found himself wanting to hear more of her voice. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Her eyes still held that gleam of determination he could hear under her voice. "You don't deserve to only be accepted after face planting into lockers and I don't deserve to start my own club and be shoved to the side. You and I deserve better. You and I should start something better for us, something that will get us what we deserve."
His eyebrows rose feeling surprised, but also having to admit to being blown away. He wasn't sure what he was blown away by, whether it be because he didn't except someone to actually talk to him this much or because he didn't expect to be included in an 'us' or because he did actually believe he deserved better. Or maybe something inside of him began to feel as though the two of them would be able to get something better out of this. Whatever it was, it was the reason behind why a smile began to grow across his face as he looked at her once more.
"I'm Rory Flanagan."
"Sugar. Sugar Motta. That's a name you're going to be remembering for a long time."
"I know… I know."


text: Postscript September 29, 2008 Issue David Foster Wallace By Deborah Treisman Table of Contents David Foster Wallace, who died on September 12th, at the age of forty-six, was in many ways a writer of his time. "Infinite Jest," a 1,079-page literary manifesto that was also a piercingly funny, inventive, and deeply moving novel about tennis, film theory, Alcoholics Anonymous, Québécois separatism, and differential calculus, made him a cause célèbre when it was published, in 1996, and spawned whole schools of fiction writers eager to emulate his dense, footnote-and-endnote-riddled, riffing, colloquial style. But Wallace was also a throwback to another time—when the romantic vision of the writer was of a recluse, living far from the capital, struggling through his manuscript in the privacy of his own study, and emerging years later with a masterpiece. He was a private person, modest and genuinely self-deprecating. (He signed his letters with smiley faces long before emoticons existed.) Of one of the manuscripts he sent to this magazine, he wrote, "I cut it heavily twice, for the basic reason that what I want here is the appearance or impression of brutality without actually being brutal or painful to read (you should have seen the last draft…), but it's still hard on the cortex." Wallace, a self-proclaimed Midwesterner, who grew up in central Illinois and taught for ten years at Illinois State University, liked to use words like "neat" and "gooey," and was, for years, inseparable from his bandanna, and yet—educated at Amherst and, for a time, a graduate student in philosophy at Harvard—he could also title a story "Yet Another Example of the Porousness of Certain Borders (VI)," write a technical text on the history of infinity in mathematics, and thread his take-downs of pop culture with metaphysics. Wallace's talent was a generous one—each book or story or piece of journalism seemed to overflow with words. He had much to say, many ways in which to say it, and many ways of commenting on what he had just said. He also had a determination and a confidence in his work that extended to every comma and conjunction. In his fiction, he aimed at capturing the authentic rhythms of speech and thought, even when doing so meant breaking the rules of writing (rules that Wallace, an obsessive reader of dictionaries and guides to grammar, was extremely familiar with). He loathed by-the-book copyediting, and on his manuscripts he sometimes added the note "**N.B.: ALL NONSTANDARD SYNTAX IS INTENTIONAL.**" While going over proofs of his last published story, "Good People," which appeared in this magazine in 2007, he wrote, "I have ended up taking more of your changes . . . than I thought at first I would. But in some cases I've 'taken' them in a sort of oblique way that's entailed further small changes around the recommended change—most often, this has taken the form of clarifying or declumsifying a phrase or passage you'd suggested, but then finding other, more innocuous ways to clumsify or 'voice up' that part." Great literature, Wallace once said, made him feel "unalone—intellectually, emotionally, spiritually." He was one of the few satirists able to avoid meanness; he was moral without being judgmental. He took on the absurdities of modern life in an attempt to understand or to parse them, not to mock them. Debating the tone of the title of "Good People," he noted, "My own terror of appearing sentimental is so strong that I've decided to fight against it, some; but the terror is still there. . . . Do you identify with a distaste/fear about sentimentality? Do you agree that, past a certain line, such distaste can turn everything arch and sneering and too ironic? Or do you have your own set of abstract questions to drive yourself nuts with?" Gleefully compacted as his language could be, it was designed to be unwrapped—and there was always a gift inside for those who took the trouble. Wallace, who had moved to California in 2002, purposely stayed away from the noise of New York City publishing, but, even in his absence, he had a definite, gracious presence in the world of letters. This new absence will be far harder to bear. ♦ Deborah Treisman Bio All work & You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

The President's Report to Congress on the War Powers Resolution
June 16, 2012
Yesterday afternoon the White House released the text of an unclassified letter sent to Congress reporting on the overseas deployments of U.S. military forces now engaged in combat operations. The introduction to the report states that its purpose is to inform Congress and the American public about U.S. military combat operations overseas. If this was the goal of the report, it failed abjectly.
The report, if you can call it such, is a waste of paper and computer space. You literally learn nothing about the nature and extent of U.S. military combat operations overseas from this discombobulated and poorly written document. Even Adam Sandler movies have more substantive and meaningful content than this letter to Congress.
For example, the brief paragraph devoted to the war in Afghanistan is devoid of any information, noting only that U.S. forces in the country are being reduced from the current level of 90,000 troops to 68,000 by the end of the summer. You would not even know that there is a war going on in Afghanistan if you read this report. There is no mention of the fact that U.S. troops are actually engaged in combat in Afghanistan except for the obtuse statement that U.S. troops are "actively pursuing and engaging remaining al-Qa'ida and Taliban fighters." And this statement is incorrect because there are virtually no al Qaeda fighters operating inside Afghanistan, and al Qaeda has played virtually no role in the war in Afghanistan in nearly a decade. Why does the Obama administration continue the practice of the former Bush administration in pretending that AQ is our primary opponent in Afghanistan, and not the Taliban???
What is interesting is what the report does not talk about. For example, there is no mention whatsoever of U.S. military covert operations taking place in Pakistan, nor any mention of CIA unmanned drone operations in that country. Granted that the CIA is not a part of the U.S. military, but I could make a pretty good legal argument that what the CIA's drones are doing in northern Pakistan is a warlike act covered by the War Powers Resolution. Ah, but I forgot! The Obama administration, like the Bush administration before it, refuses to acknowledge the existence of the CIA's unmanned drone strike programs despite the fact that everyone knows that they exist.
There is also no mention of the presence of large numbers of U.S. special forces and support troops (including significant numbers of intelligence personnel) in the Philippines and Colombia, where for the past decade we have been secretly helping the militaries of these countries fight homegrown insurgencies. In the case of the Philippines, it is an Islamist terrorist group called Abu Sayyaf. And in Colombia, it is the leftist insurgent group calling itself the Fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). It is no secret that we are operating in both countries. Hell, even the local newspapers have given lengthy and detail coverage of the presence of U.S. military forces and aerial surveillance systems in their countries. So why does the Obama administration believe that our military presence in these countries is a secret?
We also have a small but increasingly important military presence in Libya, which is engaged in trying to secure that country's stockpiles of chemical weapons and man-portable surface-to-air missiles (MANPADs), as well as trying to interdict the flow of weapons and military equipment to fighters belonging to al Qaeda in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) in neighboring Algeria, Mali and Mauritania. Doesn't that deserve a mention in the report?
And finally, there is (of course) no mention of the Stuxnet computer virus that allegedly was used by us to attack the computer systems of one of Iran's uranium enrichment facilities starting during the latter part of the Bush administration and continuing well into the Obama administration. Using the Stuxnet computer virus against Iran, if in fact the news reports are true, was an act of war. My question is, did the Bush or Obama administrations inform Congress as a whole, or just the top leaders of the House and Senate as in the case of NSA's domestic eavesdropping programs?
The letter to Congress references the fact that there is a separate secret annex to this report, which may (or may not) discuss the drone strikes and other sensitive military operations taking place around the world. But if the Obama administration is using the same playbook used by the Bush administration, I will bet that this classified annex will be just as uninformative as the unclassified version. To quote the British rock group The Who, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
