I know it was Swanson's in 75. Am I wrong?ReplyDelete
The ice cream parlor was called Will Wrights (think that's how it was spelled rather than Rights). It was a fixture and surprised everyone when it disappeared with the remodel of the intersection of Dover Drive and Pacific Coast Highway.ReplyDelete

My Name is Art V and I lived in one of the "cabins" in "Bay Shore Park" prior to the 1968 Olympic Trials - We paddled competition Flat Water Kayaks from the beach below the original Coast Hy Bridge. I am (and was) an emmy nominated film-maker and I am putting together a piece on the Park and the housing "shacks) no bathrooms - cold water etc. Any photos would be helpful - especially of the grumpy but helpful manager with the shot-gun. email@example.com
WilRights Ice Cream was a real treat at the time.ReplyDelete
Expensive it cost more than
Baskin Robbins 31 flavors
but percieved as the "best".
This coming decades before Ben,Jerry,Hagen& others blew the upscale premium ice cream market

It's funny that Will Wrights is perceived as "the best" The manager of the will Wrights in Huntington Beach shared with my Mom in the late 60's that it came from the same supplier as Thrifty Drug Store ice cream (the hand scooped version, that is). Both were delicious to an 8 year old living just south of Beach Blvd.ReplyDeleteReplies

Untrue. I worked there. Each five gallon drum was made with very high butterfat and no preservatives - it was the cadillac of its day.Delete

I managed both the Will Wright's on PCH in Newport Beach just before it was torn down, and the one in Huntington Beach (Will Wright's America new concept), and worked at the original factory in Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood. The History, the Ice cream was made at the factory until IHOP bought the company in the late 60's hence the new concept in Huntington Beach, when they bought it the plant was shut down and the Ice cream was made by Foremost Dairies in LA and the butterfat went down, then in the early 70's Coronet Foods of LA bought the company from IHOP and reopened the plant in West Hollywood and raised the butterfat close to what is was before. Then I had the sad task of closing each store one by one in the late 70's starting with the 6th&Brendo store in LA, gradually all were closed last one was the one in Pasadena. Except for the Newport Beach store which a friend of mine owned until it was removed for the new bridge, when she had it (late 70's-early 80's) she had the Ice Cream made by Foremost with a little higher butterfat than what IHOP used but not has high as the Original. People are getting Farrell's mixed up with Will Wrights, there was never a Ferrell's in Newport Beach, I worked at the Ferrell's in Huntington Beach when it first opened, then went to work for Will Wrights. Hope this clears things up. So your are both right, it was made by Thrifty supplier and it was made by Will Wrights and it was the Cadillac of Ice Creams, it just depends on when owner at the time owned the company. Will Wright, IHOP, Coronet Foods.Delete

I remember Ferrells in the OC in the 60's. I was there visiting family during highschool when we went there. We did order the pig trough and I remember all the sirens, bells, and whistles! I guess because of all the noise I assumed their theme was a fire house style theme. I do have an original "KEEP COOL WITH COOLIDGE" sign from a Ferrells Ice Cream Parlour. It is huge, in its original frame and it's in great condition. It is signed on the bottom Ferrells Ice Cream Parlour and Restaurant. Can anyone tell me if this type of item has any value? Do people actually purchase or collect this type of item. Thanks for your help and the memories!ReplyDelete

It was definitely Wil Wrights.I dont think it was on Dover. I think It was near the bottom of the old superior hill. I remember the tall stools at the counter and the little table and chairs. I also remember the smell of a sugar cookie, I think. I think it was served with all the ice cream they served. Still living up the hill in costa mesa. Wil Wrights brings back fond memories and Im sorry they are gone.ReplyDelete

We loved going to Wil Wright's Ice Cream Parlor in Newport Beach. We always ordered Nesselrode Bula Ice cream in a dish and with each serving, one received a small macaroon inside a little paper envelope with the outline of an angel's face in red ink on the outside.ReplyDelete
I believe a much larger ice cream parlor was located in San Francisco at the time.
It was a family favorite and we always took guests from out of town there, we thought so highly of it.

hi folks... my name is Ron, I'm the plant manager of the Thrifty Ice Cream plant and have been for the last 25 years. Will Wrights Ice cream was made by us under his label for about 12 years but since the early 80's it was discontinued. You're absolutly correct. It is the same formula and in fact we co pack for many customers under private label with most being the same high quality products you've come to love.ReplyDelete

I wish I could find ice cream that tasted as good as Will Wrights. My husband use to drive all the way to Palm Springs on weekends just to get some. Does anyone know the recipe?ReplyDelete

Re: WIL Wright's Ice Cream. Wilbur Wright privately owned several stores. AT the moment I can remember Palm Springs;Beverly Hills (corner of Beverly Dr and Charleville); Sunset Strip; Newport Beach;La Jolla;Crenshaw and West Hollywood at the corner of Santa Monica and Harper. THAT location was where the factory was and it was THERE that the ice cream was made as long as Wil (ONE "L") made it. I managed two stores for him and often went to see the ice cream being made. Mr. Write eventually sold his stores to Carnation which was later purchased by IHOP. Carnation used the same recipes for a while but then went totally commercial. It broke Mr. Wright's heart to see it all disappear. Sadly he was murdered in his Nichols Canyon home in Los Angeles and the murderer was never caught. I have many original pieces of Wil Wright memorabilia including one of the round marble tables and two wrought iron chairs from the B.H. store. Those were the days of the BEST and most fattening ice cream with a butterfat content of 33%. And that is the way it was.ReplyDelete

Wil Wright's was amazing. The ice cream was the stuff of dreams. One bite and you had a coating of butterfat on the roof of your mouth! The hot fudge was, well...heavenly! I can still imagine the flavor. I would do just about anything to find the recipe for that hot fudge! Anyone with a secret?ReplyDelete

There was a Will Wright's parlor in the San Fernando Valley too on Ventura Blvd. You're right about that hot fudge sauce -- it was great and I've never found anything else to compare to it. As I recall, they gave you a little pitcher to pour it on with.ReplyDelete
One of my favorite childhood memories was of enjoying a Meringue Glace' at Wil Wright's on Sunset Blvd. It was vanilla ice cream served on top of a meringue shell, topped with whipped cream and served with hot fudge sauce. I haven't seen anything like it since those childhood days. If you know of a place where that same dish is served today, please post the details here. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Just wanted to add that my childhood memories are of a Wil Wright's in Westwood Village at the intersection of Lindbrook (or perhaps Kinross) and Glendon Avenues. I have the same strong memories as you of just the best ice cream and hot fudge ever. They were particularly well known for their vanilla, with vanilla bean throughout -- a fancy rarety in those days.ReplyDelete
By the way, the brand has recently been revived as a line of "super-premium" pints for supermarkets (no parlors, alas). I haven't tried it, though -- anyone?

Yes! There was the Wil Wrights Ice Cream Parlor in Westwood Village. I remember going there in the early 70's. What a treat! The best hot fudge sundae along with the cute little cookie macaroon in the small paper envelope with the angel outlined in red. It was indeed on the corner of Glendon/Lindbrook. Great fun!ReplyDelete
About Wil Wrights: I remember the very first and at that time, (1947) the only Wil Wright's Ice Cream Parlor, up on the Sunset Strip, right bear La Rue's Restaurant.ReplyDelete
That ice cream was soooo rich and deliecious...as others have said, there would be a coating of better fat on the roof of your mouth.
My family all loved this ice cream so much that we had them pack three quarts in Dry Ice so that we could fly back to New York with it on the plane with us! Never has been another ice cream quite like theirs. And they madfe some unusual flavors back in the day, way before that was a popular thing to do. That Original place on the strip was very ver small. A lovely old fashioned Ice Cream Parlor look and Hor Fudge Sauce to die for!

Among others, until at least around 1970 there were Wil Wright's parlors located (1) on the northwest corner of Van Nuys and Ventura just west of the gas station, (2) on Sunset in Pacific Palisades near the fire station on the north side of the street, and (3) at the southeast corner of Beverly and Charleville in Beverly Hills. They pioneered their most famous flavor, "vanilla bean".ReplyDelete

I just drove by the site of the Wil Wright's at PCH- Newport Beach-couldn't remember the name (though could never forget that creamy-smooth taste!). Wracked my head for a day-Then I passed the awnings at "Joes' Italian" ice (in Garden Grove) and the site triggered the name- amazing what images can do. I read these blogs, smiling at the comments...but really not buying the "Thrifty" ice cream. I've had plenty of that- not even close!!! Wil Wright's was one of those special treats we kids (in the late 50's) screamed for when we left the beaches on a hot summer day. Ah...thanks for the memories!ReplyDelete

I went to Wil Wright's in Palm Springs in 1963 or '64. My older sister told me back then that the Hollywood starlets went to WW in Hollywood, so naturally we had to go-just in case we saw a starlet on vacation!! It was downtown, across the street from the museum & library. I remember the little tables & chairs and even at the age of 9 thought it was a very upscale place! LOL. I do remember the hot fudge being unbelievable, and WW may be the reason I love vanilla ice cream above all others-I wasn't aware they used the vanilla bean back then.ReplyDelete

I remember going to Patio Pantry on Edinger in Huntington Beach in 1966 with friends from 4th grade.

Great meatball sandwiches for 59 cents!ReplyDeleteReplies
AH! Niberinos. It was the best. Best meatball sandwich. Best meatball pizza. It was tiny and all wood inside with writing all over everything. The workers looked like hippies.(It was the 70's). The smell was heavenly. Then one day it was gone. Never an explanation. I had heard a rumor that the Health Dept shut them down. It was next to McDonalds behind His Nibs liquor store and near the dairy on Edwards at Edinger. I haven't been back to H.B. in years. My brother still lives there but the rest of the family is spread across the country. I miss my hometown.Delete

Wil Wright's was at Dover and the Coast Highway. In CDM on the same block as the old Snack Shop (now a wretched Ruby's) there was a Swenson's with a brown and tan awning, and I recall it being there in the Seventies and early Eighties. I think Swenson's originated in Santa Barbara. Wil Wright's was also in Pasadena on Colorado in the Arcade Building across from the new Vroman's Bookstore, as well as all the other Wil Wrights mentioned below.ReplyDelete

I remember Wil Wright's in Newport Beach like others in the late 50's early 60's. The white wire chairs and marble topped tables that whole theme. Funny thing tho I remember getting ice cream there but don't remember how it tasted or what flavor I got. Doesn't Ethel mention it in one of the I Love Lucy episodes when they all go to Hollywood?ReplyDelete
I remember Wil Wright's well and I would dispute that it was the same as Thrifty's ice cream. I ate a lot of both growing up in Corona del Mar and the enduring memory or Wil Wright ice cream was the coating it left in your mouth. Thrifty's never did that. Maybe after Wil Wright sold out the new owners (Carnation) used different suppliers, but I've never had ice cream like Wil Wright's anyplace but Wil Wright's.ReplyDelete
And yes, Lucille Ball loved Wil Wright's and was a frequent visitor to their Hollywood store across from RKO Studios. She put them in an episode as a free plug.

I lived in Michigan but in the 1940s read in Life Magazine about a Moron Sundae in the LA area. When our family visited California, we searched until we found that treat. It must have been at Wil Wright's although I didn't remember the name. Does anyone remember what was in the Moron Sundae? I think it was almost a quart of ice cream with bananas, peaches, every kind of a syrup possible, and nuts and whipped cream. Truly awesome!! I'm trying to tell my grandchildren about it now.

We moved to West Garden Grove in '63 and I remember in the mid thru late 60's in the summer our parents would take us for a drive in the evenings down Coast Hwy to South Laguna turn around and come back and we ALWAYS stopped at Wil Wright's at Coast Hwy. and Dover on the way back for ice cream. My mom would always get the vanilla bean or (butter brickel?). There were only a few parking spaces out front but we always seemed to get one even in summer. We had a big '65 Pontiac Catalina Safari wagon (purchased at Bill Barry Pontiac in Santa Ana) in the days before AC was common in cars and I loved the feel of the cool summer evening air coming through the open windows of the car as we drove along the coast. Wil Wright's later had a huge location (70's) at the SW corner of Goldenwest/Edinger in HB in response to Farrell's I think, never went there as I couldn't imagine the experience could come close to the Coast Hwy. spot.ReplyDelete

Right now I'd love one of those WW's hot fudge sundaes with the little toasted almonds, the blob of thickest,whitest whipped cream, and the darkest,dense chocolate sauce over the rich frozen vanilla cream with the barely visable specks of vanilla bean throughout. It all exploded into exquisite flavors when introduced to your tastebuds by that sightly smaller-than-teaspoon silver spoon. And how about the snap of crunch and then the chewey marzipan filling of that tiny macaroon encased in that precious angelwrap?

I cried the day they closed Wil Wright's on PCH and Dover. They had to make room for the new bridge on PCH and tore down that building. If I remember right there where two other businesses there next to Wil Wright's. I remember it well because we had a Field Trip to see where the new bridge was going to be built. If you look at a aerial picture you will see the bridge has a curve to it. This was how they "fit" and built the new bridge with the old bridge in place. After the new bridge was open they tore out the old bridge. The old bridge was to the south (and closer to the Ruben E Lee) If you look at on the southwest side of the bridge you will see a parking lot that is a rectangle. This is where PCH use to be and that is where the old bridge was also.ReplyDelete

I managed 6 Wil Wrights Ice Cream Shoppes in the early 70's up until the last one closed in Newport Beach on Pacific Coast Hwy. I was there the day the bulldozers came in and tore the place down, very sad day. I also managed the one in Huntington Beach it was an experimental store Wil Wrights America that was built after IHOP bought the company in the mid 60's. The person was right when they said the during a period of time the ice cream was made by a large dairy. The dairy was Foremost Dairies, during the IHOP ownership, then Wil Wrights was sold to Coronet Foods of LA (big frozen onion ring maker), and the Ice Cream was made again at the plant on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood one of the founders came back and started making it using the same recipes. Even the Hot Fudge and Butterscotch toppings were made at the factory. I saw many changes in the time I worked for Wil Wrights the quality went down then back up. When the end came the quality was up and the fresh whipped cream spooned on to the top of the sundaes and a whole maraschino cherry with stem on the top were still being used. At least it went out on top. After the late 70's I really don't know what happened to the company. My favorite was Nesselrode Bula, Chocolate Burnt Almond, and Cherimoya Ice.ReplyDelete

I am Wil Wright's niece and now live in new Jersey. My whole family loved his ice cream and him.We often thought of resurrecting it but could never get it together.It is nice to read the wonderful memories people had of his ice cream.ReplyDelete
I was about 12 years old around 1962 and we used to vacation in California Corona Del MarReplyDelete
big corona little corona and the famous balboa island had crab cooker, john waynes house, the little games park on the island the ferry to get there one side and wilwrights ice cream was my look forward to always night with the tasty almond cookies that i loved. It was close to Reubens if i remember the name correctly where they had an old river boat that served reuben sandwiches. Golden Years and I Really think we have dirgressed from there the wilwrights was close to reubens i just cant recall exact name but it was a main thoroughfare there. I got it on my bucket list if it still aroundReplies

There might have been a Reubens in Newport Beach, but the place you're thinking of is the Reuben E. Lee, which has been gone for years now. It wasn't a real paddle boat, but a barge made up to look like a paddle boat. I never remember Wil Wright's in Newport Beach, but it might have been gone by the time I moved to Newport Beach.Delete

I worked at Wil Wright's on PCH and Dover when I was in high school in '59 & '60. Fabulous job for a high school kid for spring & summer. Al Aleshire was the mgr. or franchise owner. Great job, great boss, great fun.ReplyDelete

What memories this brings back! I grew up in Long Beach, and my grandparents lived in San Diego County. In the 50s and early 60s, we would drive down the day after Thanksgiving for a visit, long before the 405 and 5 made an easy or complete trip. In the evening on the way home, we would always drive along PCH through Newport Beach, just so we could stop at Wil Wright's. I had forgotten the name, but that was the place. We NEVER splurged on desserts, so this annual treat was a big deal. The fragrance upon opening the door is fixed in my brain! Nesselrode and Chocolate Burnt Almond come wafting through the decades...ReplyDelete

GAMOVATION PRESENTEERT MAFIABATTLE!1/Dec
GamoVation, the Dutch-based social game developers behind the popular fishing game FISHAO, today reveals their new venture in the form of MafiaBattle. Available on Desktop, Facebook and Mobile devices, MafiaBattle is a cross-platform MMO title that sees players attempt to rise to the top of the mafia underworld. The game will be free-to-play and is scheduled for a Q1 2015 release.
"MafiaBattle will be a unique game in the MMO genre. It's full of exciting, innovative features that incorporate the mafia way of life, while keeping it really fun at the same time."
- Daimy Stroeve, creative director at GamoVation
In MafiaBattle, the goal is simple: become the most powerful and respected mobster in the virtual game world. To achieve this objective, you are handed your own Mafia Empire. The Mafia Empire is essentially the hub of the game, where you have several establishments – including a mansion, meth lab and hospital – that can be upgraded. When it comes to upgrading, you are rewarded with in-game benefits to further help you in your overall mission to reign supreme over competing mob bosses. An example of this includes upgrading your money press to a higher level, resulting in it producing more cash than before.
Along with upgrading your Empire, there are many other activities to participate in. From gambling your riches playing one of five casino games to performing the perfect crime to improve your standing, there is a wide variety of things to do that will keep players immersed in the experience.
"Participate in illegal activities to gain cash, get rid of the police, gamble your dirty money at the casino, and join your friends as you battle in wars against other families. And that's just scratching the surface in terms of things to do in the game!"
- Joppe Houpt, CEO of GamoVation
Thanks to its distinctive and polished visuals, along with smooth and satisfying gameplay, MafiaBattle is positioned to become a permanent fixture among social gamers and their daily activities.
Game Features
● Fully upgradable Mafia Empire: produce your own cash, ammunition and crystal meth.
● Five interactive casino games: Slot Machine, Wheel of fortune, Blackjack, Higher/Lower, and Roulette.
● From the petty to the sophisticated, perform crimes to boost your standing – but watch out for the police!
● Attack other players with the ammunition you have culminated from your Empire. Win the duel and steal all the available loot from the opposing player.
● Gain Mafia Power by buying troops. Upgrade their stats and equip them with weapons to better help you during battles.
● Start your own mafia family, or join one as you work together with other players to battle against rival families.
Cross-Platform Function
In providing MafiaBattle with the biggest target audience that is possible, the game will be released across three platforms: Desktop, Facebook and Mobile.
- Desktop: For Desktop, MafiaBattle will be available to play in all of the world's most popular browsers at: http://www.mafiabattle.com
- Facebook: Facebook will be another platform that will be utilised, making sure that social media users have access to the game.
- Mobile: With the overcrowded nature of app stores, MafiaBattle will instead be available for mobile and tablet devices as a web-app. Mobile users simply visit the MafiaBattle homepage and play the game as they would on a desktop - all functionality included.

While the movie-watching public and the movie-making elite both wait patiently for the Oscars on Sunday, Rick Rosas and Brian Cullinan are ahead of the game: They're the only two people in the whole world who know in advance who will win an Academy Award.
In fact, for some categories, they might already know: the last Oscar votes rolled in on Tuesday and, as the PwC accountants chosen to do the final count on Oscar ballots, they started their tallies the next day. The Oscar vote-counting process goes on for months, continuing throughout the nominations process, but the homestretch that is the finals lasts less than a week.
"As accountants, we keep confidential information every day," says Rosas. "This is the one time there's a little heightened interest in it."
And when it comes to secrecy, the Oscars are definitely not messing around. To wit:
- A small team of people (about six people, not including Rosas and Cullinan) split up the ballots so that nobody is counting an entire category, which means nobody knows how the different entries stack up. Those subtotals are added up by Rosas and Cullinan. By Friday evening, the two accountants will know all the winners.
- Though they won't disclose how many vote are received, there are about 6,000 voting members of the Academy. All of the counting is done by hand. "It's old-school," says Cullinan. "It's as boring as it sounds. You have lots and lots of stacks of little pieces of paper."
- All of the categories are counted several times, and extra if there's a tie (which has happened). There has never been a post-awards recount required.
- The Academy provides triplicates of cards listing each movie in every category. Rosas and Cullinan put the winning cards in the envelopes; the losing cards and extras are destroyed.
- Two identical and complete sets of cards are put in two identical briefcases. This year, PwC has introduced a new style of briefcase — seen above — which is the first one to bear the Academy's logo as well as the accounting firm's.
- Having rehearsed their blocking on Saturday, Rosas and Cullinan will travel to the show separately, in cars with security details. They carry the briefcases down the red carpet, pausing for interviews, and each take their places on opposite sides of the stage. As presenters come on from either side, they'll be handed the right cards.
When the envelopes are opened, the number in the know will balloon from two people to tens of millions.
PwC has been counting Oscar ballots for decades, and Rosas said the process is pretty well fine-tuned; this is Cullinan's first year on the Oscar beat, but Rosas is a veteran. It's a busy few days, but no all-nighters are required, particularly because they already know what they'll wear on Sunday. (Tuxes, natch.) That's a good thing, because after the Oscars are over, it'll be straight into tax season. Not that they mind being busy for a few days — heading the Oscars team is an honor at PwC offices, they say.
"Especially for those who aren't in the business world, [the Oscars are] what we're known for," says Cullinan. "To be asked to do it is probably, as an accountant, as much fun as you can have."

feat. LL Cool J, Scarface
[LL Cool J]
Uhh, uhh.. yeah
See I know how to get down, word up
It's so hot it's, LL's version of the East coast chronic
Smoke 'til your lungs collapse
You supposed to be the nigga, where all the drama at?
So ironic, L came back
Flooded the market - got your mens on the wall
holdin his blunt, too fucked up to spark it
Show me a nigga who can do like I do
Then gas your mans up so I can rip that nigga too
Braggin you goin platinum like that shit brand new
I was platinum in eighty-five, what THE FUCK wrong with you, huh?
Come (?) L - what you call rocks to me is minerals
Tried to throw salt on my name, shit's political
The baddest man on the planet
So ill when I'm spittin niggaz take it for granted
Cram to understand it, I'll switch and write it lefthanded
Heat my pinky ring up and leave your bitch branded
Got a voice like a cannon - nigga shoot
I don't think she really hot, your career is a fluke
I'm the best MC to ever touch the pen
Take a look at what I'm doin it will not be done again
As sure I am the descendant of former slaves
I'ma resurrect brothers from they mental graves
Make 'em confess - LL's the most rugged
God, and no man's above it, gotta love it
[Chorus: LL, Erick]
DO - get this bread, use ya infrared
RE - fuck the industry, it's all about
MI - you ain't goin - FA
L said it - SO, puffin on the - LA
DO - get this bread, use ya infrared
RE - fuck the industry, it's all about
MI - you ain't goin - FA
E said - SO, puffin on the - LA (.. TI DO)
[Erick Sermon]
Uhh, E Dub on the microphone
Droppin bombs - spots get blown
So why would you assume my style wouldn't bloom
When I rap, wack MC's vacate the room
Cause they suck, and that's how I feel
I'ma smack down the A&R who signed the deal
Then wrap 'round his neck yo' reel to reel
So next time he know, how the real feel
Get loose and wrap hand 'round the steel
Leave you in the truck, wrapped 'round ya wheel
(I ain't playin) But why'all front like I ain't it
And every rapper why'all like, sample my shit
(Name one) I'm nice, and there's no mistakin
I threw a bomb rhyme in the hands of Troy Aikman
My track record is out there, gone
E.T. like maybe I should phone home (hello?)
I'm known for the dome bangers
Drop any song of mine right now in the club and it's DANGER
Scarface, E, LL Cool (jigga jigga)
J, never heard it spit this way, hey
[Chorus: LL, Scarface]
DO - get this bread, use ya infrared
RE - fuck the industry, it's all about
MI - you ain't goin - FA
L said it - SO, puffin on the - LA (that's right)
DO - get this bread, use ya infrared
RE - fuck the industry, it's all about
MI - you ain't goin - FA
Cause 'Face said - SO, puffin on the - LA (.. TI DO)
You a trash-ass nigga, slash garbage-ass rhymer
You switched from the raw to a chart climber
And now your shit is blowin out the stores
and uh, next month you fin' to go out on the tour but
Count - (two, three, and, four)
Your records ain't sellin no more
And damn - you done spent your money galore
Buyin all the stupid shit that your money can't afford (uh-oh)
Tryin to keep up with the trendy
Got your bitch minked out in all Fendi
Bought your homeboy a brand new Bentley
And the well that wouldn't run dry is now empty
It's simply, cause you wasn't focused on the next day
and your next tape you can't give it away, but hey
I send these to these niggaz tryin to keep up with the Joneses
Everything you see me I owns it
I've been quietly sellin tapes for thirteen years
So let's get, that, clear
You might have sold a few more tapes, but
realistically, are you that great? (nah)
Can't get respect but I done paid dues
Stood on the block slangin cooked up rocks, I'm the same dude
I've been the same nigga since I came through
Do-re-mi too, damn fool!

Who says our visions of a blimp-filled future are passé? Behold the Airlander, a hybrid air vehicle that's part blimp, part airplane, and part helicopter. Experts are calling it a 'game changer' — and it could revolutionize the transport industry.
Developed by Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd., the Airlander was recently unveiled in Britain's largest aircraft hanger. Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, an avid pilot and HAV investor, was there to meet the press.
"It's a game changer, in terms of things we can have in the air and things we can do," he told the BBC. "The airship has always been with us, it's just been waiting for the technology to catch up."
The massive aircraft uses both aerodynamics and lighter-than-air (LTA) technology to generate lift (it's full of inert helium, not explosive hydrogen). It's 302 feet (92 meters) long, which is about 60 feet longer than the biggest airliners (the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8). And it's almost 30 feet longer than the massive cargo-carrying Antonov An-225, the longest aircraft ever built. Well, at least until now.
The Airlander's maiden voyage is scheduled for later this year.
Once aloft, it can stay there for up to three weeks. It'll be able to carry 50 tonnes to virtually anywhere in the world — which is 50 times more than a helicopter. It's green, doesn't require a runway, and can be controlled remotely. It can even fly with a lot of bullet holes in it, too (hinting at potential military applications).
Indeed, this was once a U.S. project, but British developers bought it back. They're hoping to sell it to oil and mining companies to deliver heavy equipment to remote and highly inaccessible areas. It could also be used for humanitarian purposes, like shipping supplies to poverty-stricken areas or disaster zones.

Over the last few months while working on the prototype around Deconstructed I've been using the Orchestrate service offering exclusively. With their service around key value and graph store easily accessible via API it was a no brainer to get started building ASAP. Today, that service goes full beta! You can get the full lowdown at the Orchestrate site.
You might recall that I mentioned Orchestrate a while back when they lept into the PIE Class a few months ago. So here's a few quick thoughts on the release and what Orchestrate is.
The basic premise is Orchestrate provides full-text search, time ordered events, graph, key value storage and a lot more. All of these capabilities are offered via an API that create a product that's extremely easy to get started. Think about what you'd need to do to get full-text search against a key value setup. Really think about it. Yeah? That's a lot of steps. With Orchestrate you just sign up and start using it. Think about setting up a graph store and managing it on production systems. Yeah? Lot's of work once it gets used. Again, just sign up, it's all there, the graph to the key value to the event series and more. All the NoSQL juice you need located in a single service so you're not fighting and maintaining multiple databases, nodes or whatever you're working with.
Sing up. Use.
I will copy one thing from the press release….
- Ad hoc search queries with Lucene
- Event and time-ordered storage for activity feeds, sensor data
- Create and query graph relationships
- Easy to understand pricing
- Data export at will – no lock-in
- Standards compliant data security protocols
- Daily data backups
- Bulk data loading
- Daily and hourly usage monitoring
- A single, simple interface – JSON data in/out
- Designed to complement existing databases and MBaaS services
- Client libraries for Java, Node.js, and Go. More on the way!
Using Orchestrate
There are quotes in the press release, but I've got a few myself. I'm working to build out a prototype service that I and Aaron Gray will be releasing soon. Our startup is called Deconstructed, but more on that later. Without Orchestrate my dev cycle would be longer each day, as I battle with maintaining the data sources that I need. Without it I would have spent another 2-3 weeks setting up and staging nosql database technology. All things I didn't really need to do. I needed to focus on the service, the value that we'll soon bring to our customers.
It really boils down to this, and don't get me wrong, I'm a total data nerd. But when it comes to building a product or service, the last thing I want to do is fight with managing the data anymore than I have to. That notion inspired me to write "Sorry Database Nerds, Nobody Actually Gives a Shit" which still holds true. I can't think of a single business that wants to sit around and grok how an index works in a key value or what the spline of text-search queries is going to be.
Pricing is sweet, for many that want to try it out things are free. Prices go up a bit more from there, but if you fall into the pricing you're doing some business and ought to be rolling in a few bucks eh!
The interesting thing to me about pricing is that they've structured it around MOp, which stands for MegaOps. More specifically that's one million API calls or one million operations.
If you write code, even a little or if you manage data you should do yourself the service and check out what Orchestrate has built. It's a solid investment of time. I'll have a lot more on Orchestrate and how we're using the service for Deconstructed and more on using the service with JavaScript in the coming months. Keep your eyes peeled and I might even have some Dart and C# magic thrown in there to boot! Check em' out, until later, happy hacking.

Feeling Grounded (Gold Tone Gemstone Bracelet )- Deep Breath
Only 1 left in stock
Product Description
This bracelet is 7.5 inches long with a one inch extender.
Made with a variety of gemstones and accented with tiny Czech crystals and seed beads.
Wire is nylon coated stainless steel and findings are rhodium plated which means they are hypo-allergenic and nickel free.
I love glamjulz for many reasons. The jewels are absolutely beautiful and handmade in Canada with care and love. Monica and her team are SUPERSTARS. You feel like a long lost relative whenever you visit their studio. Whether it's for a special event or just a visit, you are greeted with hugs and smiles and made to feel special. When you walk through the door of the "jewel" room, you see all the wonderful jewels displayed perfectly. How can you not smile?? When I put a piece (or two or three) of glamjulz on, I know that I am going to get compliments from everyone. Every time I wear a piece of glamjulz , someone always asks me where I got it, who made it and how do I get the julz myself? Monica is the BEST!!! You can tell she totally loves what she does and it shows in everything she does. I LOVE seeing Monica and I always walk away with a smile on my face. I have to say I am a complete glamjulz addict!!! My husband is not happy about that, but hey, his wife always looks great with her glam on!!!

- The recent shooting in the U.S. highlights one of the major cultural differences between the two countries.
No, not about guns. Some are already blaming U.S. gun laws, and clearly haven't read my blog post yesterday where I used a recent incident in Calgary to highlight that more gun laws don't really help out in this case.
Specifically, this line from today's Edmonton SUN article about the shooting (emphasis mine):
The massacre has attracted hundreds of journalists from all over the world to the small southwestern Virginia town of some 38,000 people, where life revolves around the sprawling campus of old stone buildings and modern dorms.Only in the U.S. would a municipality of 38,000 be considered a town. That's about the size of Victoriaville, Quebec, Canada's 68th largest city. (Meanwhile, Carson City Nevada counts as the U.S.'s 363rd largest city at 55,289, the smallest burg on Wikipedia's list)
- Also of note, the killer, Cho Seung-Hui, has been living in the U.S. since 1992, so its only 90% accurate for me to refer to him as a foreigner. Yet I will continue to do so. Also of note, Cho [Seung-Hui? Are the Koreans like the Bajorans where the first name is the family name, or are the newspapers all being very very casual in referring to him? -ed] wrote a lot, complaining about "rich kids" (specifically, "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans"). Go figure that the one time an asian in North America is found not to be rich himself, he winds up shooting people up. Also, if writing about deceitful rich charlatans is such a warning sign, does that mean Eugene Plawiuk is gonna end up on a no-fly list?
- The primary United States newspaper of record, the Corvallis Gazette-Times, is reporting that Seung-Hui was referred to the Virginia Tech school counselling service for his disturbing creative writing (he was an English major). Good thing he wasn't in Chemistry like the rest of this continent's asian university students, or they'd never have got to him in time....
Update, 12:16pm: Gnotalex at Blog Quebecois notes that the CBC took all of 12 hours to blame George W. Bush for the shooting. Gnotalex also observes that per capita, Canadian schools are more violent than the U.S.
Update, 12:23pm: Further cultural differences: the Wikipedia page on Virginia Tech shows that it has a faculty of 1,304 and 28,470 students. This means that not counting support staff, Virginia Tech makes up 75.24% of the city's population. This isn't abnormal in the U.S. (some towns of 12,000 are over 80% made up from the local state college, and often have 48,000 seat stadiums filled every Friday), but is completely unheard of in Canada -- Red Deer College is in a city of 82,971 and has only 10,000 students. Lacombe, Alberta is the home of CUC, Canadian Univeristy College, which has 400 students on the outskirts of a town of about 12,000.
Also of note, Wikipedia reports the population of Blacksburg as being 39,573. This puts it slightly larger than St. Thomas, Ontario -- Canada's 63rd largest city.

Archaeologists have penetrated a Mayan pyramid in a Guatemalan jungle and uncovered the sealed tomb of a ruler who lived 1,600 years ago. The significance is epic, says Stephen Houston, the Brown University archaeologist in charge of the operation: "It's a great, great rarity."
"Once we opened an area of about 30 to 40 inches, it became clear that the surface was covered with human bone, pieces of jade, textiles," Houston said of the Mayan site.
There was more than that. There were also the bones of six children and possibly those of an adult male who rested on a raised bier that had collapsed during the passing centuries.
"There seemed to be a vessel with an alcoholic substance that exploded and left a strange, chalky material around," he said. The 1,600-year-old textiles still retain color. "You can see the weaving."
The El Diablo pyramid is one of the largest in Central America, Houston said, and was part of a religious complex in the Mayan city of El Zotz. He estimated that the site had been inhabited over a period of 2,000 years, if not longer.

These are such cute pictures. So glad that they are all okay!ReplyDelete
I thought I had some dirty dogs in all this Spring run-off but mine have nothing on Marta Beast! Oh, my heavens, that is one dirty girl! She doesn't expect to come in the house, does she....ReplyDelete
Glad things are safe so far. I hope things continue well!ReplyDelete
Good news......sent a lot of thoughts your way yesterday. Especially happy about the Dan news.ReplyDelete
Marta Beast is quite the mess. I had a big shaggy dog like that years ago and his goal was to get on the couch when he was soggy. What a challenge to keep him outside.
I have a feeling your farm will be very lush in the coming days!
Cute messy pups!ReplyDelete
December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.
Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!
Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.
I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!

the cotton top that buttons in the back. (I will, when older, most likely turn into that person with just twenty pairs of that one good shirt in the closet... oh no who am I kidding of course I won't.) White is white and that's fine but I was in need of a top in a more natural, broken shade like creme or so.
And did you know there is an easy way to darken a piece of clothing without having to color it with chemicals?
Strong, black tea works as well.
Coffe or tea "dye" is good for giving a darker shade to pale and nude colored cotton (or other natural un-treated fibre that wil take on color well) clothing but you can of course do this with any color to give it a slightly darker and less vibrant hue. Or, if you have a white piece of clothing that doesn't look so fresh anymore due to miscoloring from deodorant or make up for example.
(The top was originally from Seppälä and the rest is vintage.)

New York City officials have taken the unusual step of refusing to defend a police inspector. He's being sued for blasting protesters with pepper spray during last fall's Occupy Wall Street protests.
Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna earned notoriety after Internet videos showed him spraying a group of young women detained behind police netting.
The NYPD later docked Bologna 10 vacation days.
In court papers filed in May, the city's legal department refused to indemnify the inspector against a civil suit filed by the women. That move could make him personally liable for any damages.
His defense is now being paid for by his union, the Captains Endowment Association.
Bologna's lawyer, Louis La Pietra, tells The Wall Street Journal he didn't mean to spray the women and had acted appropriately.
