More than 100 different types of vodka, excellent martinis and outstanding bartenders.
Bar-headed geese have to reach extreme heights when they migrate over the Himalayas. To be able to do this, the species is physiologically and biochemically adapted to flying at altitudes where oxygen levels and temperatures are both extremely low.
Did you know?
Bar-headed geese can fly higher than Mount Everest making them the world's highest flying birds.
My latest creation is the Monde (Roughly means World in French) Cinema.
It's inspired by 1920/30's Egyptian/Mayan styled Art deco cinema's.
It took quite a while to come up with the right scale and layout, I looked at a lot of reference material online and in books before deciding what to do. The grand Rex in Paris was my biggest influence on proportions (My interior is nothing like the real one!) I wanted a full height lobby and a reasonably imposing height from the exterior. I decided to have the auditorium against the street rather than at the back, I thought it would give me an opportunity to put a large sign on the front and also to give me access at the back of the building. There is a bar downstairs which I thought would break up the exterior a little and also make the auditorium better scaled.
I set myself several goals on this project;
Working brick built doors and brick built windows.
A floor pattern in the lobby rather than my usual tiled floor.
It's taken several months to complete this project.
To use bricks I had available! (The only exception was purchasing the blue seats)
Comments welcome!
Banko Cantina, a Mexican restaurant and tequila bar is located at 114 S. Olive Avenue. in West Palm Beach, FL. Originally home to the American National Bank. The building was later also known as the Commercial and Savings Bank and Morrison's Cafeteria
This 1923 landmark building was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
An era remembered for its unprecedented prosperity, glamour, and fanfare, the Roaring 20s were also marked by prohibition, underground speakeasies, notorious gangsters and glorified outlaws – during which time tequila trade became a lucrative business.
Banco Cantina and the second-floor club, La Terraza, will restore the fervor that once resided inside the very same walls through its delicious food and beautiful crowd – writing a story for the next generation to tell!
Don’t forget to take the stairs or elevator to the 3rd-floor rooftop of Banko Cantina. Enjoy beautiful views of downtown West Palm Beach along with a cold beverage to enjoy your day or night!

This is a Magic Lantern Slide showing a colourised view of Temple Bar Gate looking west towards the Strand from Fleet Street in the City of London. The border between Westminster and the City had been marked by this arch since 1672, it was reputedly designed by Sir. Christopher Wren and has four statues in niches. The statues shown are Anne of Denmark and her husband King James I, on the other side are the statues of their son King Charles I and his son King Charles II, the statues celebrate the restoration of the Stuarts in 1660 after the Civil War. In the middle of the 18th Century Temple Bar was the only City gate left standing and it was not popular with travellers, it was a bottleneck and caused long traffic jams and there were many calls for the gate to be removed. However, the gate remained becoming more and more tumbledown as the years passed until in 1874 the keystone of the arch dropped and was supported by baulks of timber both vertically and horizontally as can be seen in the photograph further restricting traffic flow. On the right through the arch is the building site of the future Royal Courts of Justice, the work started in 1871 and it was beset by strikes from the beginning, foreign workers were employed to break the strikes, mostly from Germany and the project succeeded in Bankrupting the contractor and killing the architect, George Street who died from overwork and didn’t see its completion. The building took eight years to build and was opened by Queen Victoria in December 1882. The actual date of the photograph is difficult to pin down, I think this may be 1874 or 1875 due to the stage in the building work. The poster on the right which says, “Doré’s Great Work, Christ Leaving the Praetorium” refers to an exhibition at the Doré Gallery at 35 New Bond Street which you could see for one shilling. The painting was started by Gustave Doré in 1867 at his studio in Paris, due to the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian war he buried it. He resumed painting after the peace and completed it in 1872 and sent it to London for exhibition. The painting measures 33 feet by 22 feet and was on exhibition in London until 1880 when it was sent to America where it was lost. In 1987 the painting was discovered in a warehouse and it was acquired by the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Strasbourg was the birthplace of Gustave Doré. Temple Bar was removed in 1878 by the City of London Corporation and the stones were stored until they were bought by Henry Meux of the Brewery family who re-erected it at his country home, Theobalds Park in Hertfordshire. In 1938 the home was sold but the sale did not include Temple Bar, in 1984 the Temple Bar Trust bought Temple Bar from the Meux family for £1.00, it was dismantled again in 2003 and re-erected at the entrance to the Paternoster Square redevelopment just north of St. Paul’s Cathedral. It looks much better now.
I LOVE lemons and I LOVE Ina Garten! That being said I was in the kitchen the other day and I had a bottle of Lemi-shine on the counter (if you have hard water spot problems in your dishwasher you should try this stuff!!) and it put me in the mood to make something lemony. I know, nothing like dishwasher additives to put you in the mood to bake, i'm weird like that :). So I remembered that Ina had a very popular recipe for lemon bars that I hadn't tried yet. I don't think i've tried a single recipe of hers that wasn't either fantastic or at the least really, really good. These lemon bars are no exception..... www.thefrostedcakencookie.blogspot.com

“Bar-20” by Clarence E. Mulford.
“Being a record of certain happenings that occurred in the otherwise peaceful lives of one Hopalong Cassidy and his companions on the range”
Published in 1906, Bar-20 introduced readers to the fictional adventures of Hopalong Cassidy and his crew of the Bar-20 ranch. The book was successful and Mulford continued Hoppy’s stories in twenty-seven more novels written between 1906 and 1941.
Willian Boyd starred in the 1935 film, “Hop-Along Cassidy”. Hoppy was a hit in the movies, too, and Boyd continued in the role, sometimes cranking two or three films a year, until 1948. In total he made sixty-seven films as Hopalong Cassidy.

Southhampton's Bar Gate. Built by the Normans as the part of the city walls, some of it dates from 1180. The name Bar Gate was given because it was once a toll gate and travellers had to pay the gate keeper to lift the bar to allow them to enter the city.
