Itâs a very small number of independent restaurants in London that have lasted 30+ years, which I think says something about Charlotteâs Place. You know what else says something about this place? Going there. And you should - it is worth it (if youâre willing to make the trek to Ealing). In one form or another, Charlotteâs Place has lived in Ealing since 1984 (I believe the original owner was called Charlotte, hence the name). It was rebranded, refurbished and reopened under new ownership in 2005 and hasnât looked back since. Located next to leafy Ealing Common, with a mostly relaxed mood set by jazz playing quietly in the background, Charlotteâs dining room looks like it was literally a dining room. In a house. Which is now a restaurant...
This probably supports the impression I got, which is that the place has a âhomelyâ feel about it (providing your home is a building full of chefs and fine wines). Once described by another reviewer as 'an old restaurant with a soulâ, it feels lived in - someone else described it as 'suffering from a little wear and tearâ (personally, I like this, as itâs not too slick at all). It sits about 40 covers and seems to have developed a cult following in the local area over its two decades of service. People have been using the term âneighbourhood restaurantâ to describe it - whatever that means, isnât every restaurant in a neighbourhood?
Anyhow, Iâm not sure if the food here is officially classified as 'fine dining' but you could make the case that it was (if arguing about restaurant cuisines is your thingâ¦). The food is innovative but the place doesnât feel pretentious - portions err on the smaller size, served as many courses. Thereâs lots of loving attention to detail - amuse bouches, specially paired dishes and suggestions from the chef are all part of the fun! Speaking of chefs, Head Chef Lee Cadden is the man behind the ever-changing menu (every month, I believe) and is a guy who appears to know his stuff. His background is eclectic but he seems to have cut his teeth in private dining and âexecutive diningâ, working at Barclays in Canary Wharf. Memorable dishes? The wood pigeon, which was 'steak-esqueâ (currently the best way I can summarise its taste and texture). It was also the best wood pigeon I have ever tried! Again, this came as personal recommendation from the kitchen
Charlotteâs Placeâs pricing is, on the main part, average for London, but you seem to get more value in the tasting menus. A 5 course lunch tasting menu for £30? Yup! Drinks are reasonable I suppose/averagely priced. If you wanna nuke the budget start hitting up the stuff at the bottom of their wine list. Speaking of their wine list - it is bigger than you may have expected (Imbibe Wine List of the Year 2013) and I think was created in association with Matt Wilkin, MW.
All in all, Charlotteâs Place is a great example of how far British cuisine (and British restaurants) have come (and perhaps will go?). It's a place Iâd recommend to any adventurous eaters amongst you! Well done, fine people of Charlotteâs Place...
Judging by the people milling around the Railyard, the opening must have been a great success. I never made it inside yet, but watched something about a last cruise around the Taos plaza, narrated bi-lingually in a rich and satisfying voice, while expressive images of how things were then and now were projected on some of those colorful panels.
I look forward to next 3 long extended weekends to explore the inside of this annual always exciting exhibition.
C.E. Kelly Commissary, Pa., serves its customers in a facility built in 1959, and even though it is well cared for, clean and well stocked, time has taken its toll. An Aug. 17 groundbreaking in Moon Township means a new $15 million commissary will make its debut in about 18 months. (DeCA photo: Rick Brink)

Seeing as how the current trend among some Lego car/truck builders is to post pictures of their creations in a group, I decided to do the same. Fortunately the dining room table was available (I think there was a blue moon out.)

This is a light green plaster pentacle.
Plaster casting: To make these, I first carve a clay pentacle to use as a base. After its baked, the clay pentacle is pressed into wet clay to make a imprint. I then pour plaster into the imprint and let it solidify. After a day or so, I flip the whole thing over and carefully remove the clay. The plaster is then painted, and in some cases, sealed.

The Rock of Cashel (Irish: Carraig Phádraig [ˈcaɾˠəɟ ˈfˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]), also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock, is an historic site located at Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.
According to local legends, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century.
The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
The oldest and tallest of the structure is the well preserved round tower (28 metres, or 90 feet), dating from c.1100. Its entrance is 12 feet (3.7 m) from the ground, necessitated by a shallow foundation (about 3 feet) typical of round towers. The tower was built using the dry stone method. Modern conservationists have filled in some of the tower with mortar for safety reasons.
Cormac's Chapel with parts of the cathedral on either side
Cormac's Chapel, the chapel of King Cormac Mac Carthaigh, was begun in 1127 and consecrated in 1134. It is a sophisticated structure, with vaulted ceilings and wide arches, drawing on contemporary European architecture and infusing unique native elements. The Irish Abbot of Regensburg, Dirmicius of Regensburg, sent two of his carpenters to help in the work and the twin towers on either side of the junction of the nave and chancel are strongly suggestive of their Germanic influence, as this feature is otherwise unknown in Ireland. Other notable features of the building include interior and exterior arcading, a barrel-vaulted roof, a carved tympanum over both doorways, the magnificent north doorway and chancel arch and the oldest stairs in Ireland. It contains one of the best-preserved Irish frescoes from this time period. The Chapel was constructed primarily of sandstone which has become waterlogged over the centuries, significantly damaging the interior frescoes. Restoration and preservation required the chapel be completely enclosed in a rain-proof structure with interior dehumidifiers to dry out the stone. It is now open for limited tours to the public.
Irish High Cross at the Rock of Cashel
The Cathedral, built between 1235 and 1270, is an aisleless building of cruciform plan, having a central tower and terminating westwards in a massive residential castle. The Hall of the Vicars Choral was built in the 15th century. The vicars choral were laymen (sometimes minor canons) appointed to assist in chanting the cathedral services. At Cashel, there were originally eight vicars choral with their own seal. This was later reduced to five honorary vicars choral who appointed singing-men as their deputies, a practice which continued until 1836. The restoration of the Hall was undertaken by the Office of Public Works as a project in connection with the European Architectural Heritage Year, 1975. Through it visitors now enter the site.
In 1647, during the Irish Confederate Wars, Cashel was sacked by English Parliamentarian troops under Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin. The Irish Confederate troops there were massacred, as were the Catholic clergy, including Theobald Stapleton. Inchiquin's troops looted or destroyed many important religious artefacts.
In 1749, the main cathedral roof was removed by Arthur Price, the Anglican Archbishop of Cashel. Today, what remains of the Rock of Cashel has become a tourist attraction. Price's decision to remove the roof on what had been called the jewel among Irish church buildings was criticised before and since.

My current project is the version of the AX-50 from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Current functionality includes a moving trigger and working magazine lock. The magazine is built in a way that the bullets will move upward, which brings me to the most challenging part of the build: a working bolt action bullet ejection mechanism. This will take some time. Let's hope my future law degree will not suffer under this...

Stanway is an outstandingly beautiful example of a Jacobean manor house, owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss. Stanway House is currently the home of Lord and Lady Neidpath. The Tracys, very unusually, claimed descent from Charlemagne, and were almost unique in England for having owned land (at nearby Toddington) since before the Norman Conquest. Their resulting self-confidence probably contributed to the sureness of their touch at Stanway: the house (in the opinion of Fodor’s Great Britain 1998 Guidebook "As perfect and pretty a Cotswold Manor House as anyone is likely to see"), its fascinating furniture, the jewel-like Gatehouse, the church and 14th-century Tithe Barn, the 18th-century water-garden (one of the finest in England), the specimen trees and avenues, the surrounding villages, farms, parkland and woodland – all subtly and harmoniously combine to create an enclave of very English and almost magical harmony.
Thanks to its location, at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, Stanway has been protected from many changes of the 20th century, but the last decade has seen the gradual restoration to its former glory of the 18th century watergarden, probably designed by the greatest of British landscape gardeners, Charles Bridgeman. The formal Canal, on a terrace above the house, the Cascade (the longest in England), the striking Pyramid and eight ponds have been reinstated, and a single-jet fountain, at 300 feet the highest fountain in Britain and the highest gravity fountain in the world, has been added.
The glory of the Stanway watergarden is the single-jet fountain in the Canal, opened on 5th June 2004. Originally suggested by Paul Edwards, the landscape architect, and engineered by David Bracey of The Fountain Workshop Limited, the fountain rises
magnificently to over 300 feet, making it the tallest fountain in Britain (seconded by Witley Court at 121 feet), the tallest gravity fountain in the world (seconded by the Fountain of Fame at La Granja de San Ildefonso, Segovia, Spain at 154 feet), and the second tallest fountain in Europe, after the 400-foot-high turbine-driven fountain in Lake Geneva. The fountain has a 2-inch bronze nozzle and is driven from an 100,000-gallon reservoir, 580 feet above the Canal, via a 12-inch diameter medium-density polyethylene pipe 2 kilometres long.
(NB This last piece of information is very specific and can only have been provided by the water engineer who designed the refurbished system. I know, because I was one - AH49)

Marx-Engels-Forum is a public park in the centre of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is named for Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of The Communist Manifesto of 1848 and regarded as the founders of modern socialism. The park was created by the authorities of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) in 1986.
Marx-Engels-Forum lies on the eastern bank of the River Spree. It is bound to the south-west by the river, to the north-west by Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, to the north-east by Spandauer Straße and to the south-east by Rathausstraße. Across the river it faces the site currently occupied by the Palast der Republik (now being demolished) and formerly occupied by the Berliner Stadtschloß.
Before World War II the area now occupied by Marx-Engels-Forum was a densely populated old town district lying between the river and Alexanderplatz, and a street called Heiligegeiststraße (Holy Ghost Street) ran across it between Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße (now Karl-Liebknecht-Straße) and Rathausstraße. The area was heavily bombed during Allied air attacks in 1944 and 1945 and most of its buildings reduced to ruins. After the war the ruins were cleared but nothing replaced them
In 1977 the GDR authorities appointed the sculptor Ludwig Engelhardt director of the project to redevelop the site as a tribute to Marx and Engels, the founders of the communist movement to whose ideology the GDR was dedicated. It consists of a rectangular wooded park with a large, circular paved area in the centre. In the middle of this stands a sculpture by Engelhardt, consisting of larger-than-life bronze figures of Marx (sitting) and Engels (standing). Behind the statues is a relief wall showing scenes from the history of the German socialist movement.
After German reunification in 1990 the future of the Marx-Engels Forum became the subject of public controversy. Some Berliners saw the Forum as an unwanted relic of a defunct regime which they opposed, and argued for the removal of the statues and renaming of the park. Others argued that the site had both artistic and historical significance, and should be preserved. The latter view eventually prevailed, assisted by the generally left-wing tone of Berlin politics. The statues are now a tourist attraction, and a steady stream of people sit on Marx's knee to have their photos taken.
I have seen a number of newspaper reports that are critical of the design and build quality of the Luas Cross-City system and in many cases I do not agree with the media analysis or complaints.
One thing that is really annoying about comment in Ireland is that in general people wait until it is too late to change things before they start complaining and of course they never look at the plans or models. They never attend public meetings relating to the planned project. For example politicians and newspapers have only recently started to complain about the clusters of utility cabinets for the Luas at College Green and elsewhere and have begun to refer to them as mini-stonehenges. If you visit any tram stop you will notice that there are many cabinets
About a year ago locals in the Phibsboro and Broadstone organised a protest against what they described as a ‘Berlinesque’ wall that had been erected as part of Luas Stop at Broadstone. Their concern related to a wall that had been in front of the attractive 19th century Broadstone railway station. It was an ugly wall consisting of raw concrete. It was good that the locals did protest as soon as they noticed the construct but it is possible that the wall was never intended to be permanent and that it was there to protect construction workers from Buses using the Bus Depot.
