| Wallace China - "Landau" fish pattern. Do you know this design? | 1 Relevance | 17 years ago | Brent | General discussion | |
| Has anyone seen this design before, or do you know anything about its history? According to my research so far, the designer was named Ann Landau. The pattern is called "Landau". It's restaurant ware, made between 1941 and 1963. And that's the end of the information I've gathered so far. Oh, I know these and at least one more were found near Portland, Oregon. | |||||

| Wondering what DT was saying to C wallace during an extended handshake following the debate. "Chris, you're going to be sued once for each embarrassing question you threw at me . . . !" One way that he's shot himself in the foot: by claiming that the election is rigged, he's telling his own voters as well as Hillary's, "Don't bother voting; it won't make any difference." Another way: Dismissing or insulting foreign leaders in G Britain, France, Germany. What kind of alliance or cooperation would he expect from them, once elected ? Really interesting on-stage interview with longtime DC journalist Maureen Dowd, who's been up close and personal with many American leaders. Find it on NPR radio . . . | |||||
| Polls are showing that | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Off topic | |
| Polls are showing that Republican voters may end up not bothering to vote at all...which kinda makes sense. I mean, if all signs point to your guy losing, why bother to vote at all? What is the point? I think a lot of people don't care that much about the House or the Senate races. It's all about voting for a president. Meanwhile, this headline in the NYT --- “Hillary Clinton Presses Her Advantage Over a Struggling Donald Trump” --- makes me think of Trump in a blubbering tantrum on the floor of the 3rd debate stage and Hillary walking right over top of him him to shake wallace’s hand, seemingly not paying any attention to Trump at all but maybe---just maybe---grinding her heel into his skull just a teensy bit as she leaves him in the dust. | |||||

| The notion of 'best' is such... The notion of 'best' is such a modern day nerve-wracker, let alone that very heavy 'ever' word. I think I'd have to say I bought Infinite Jest for 8.99, 1st Edition, by David Foster wallace, used, May 2001, from a local Nebraska bookseller. And so it goes/went. Some seventeen years previous I found Who's Next in mint condition at Dirt Cheap Records - a downtown Lincoln store now long defunct a couple blocks off campus - on sale for 99 cents. Dylan was about to release Infidels. You are loved. | |||||

| Thanks for linking this... | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| Thanks for linking this... Thanks for linking this Piano interview, dc, enjoyed. Charlie Rose, backlit or black, is almost opulent in the modern day landscape of TV, a veritable oasis in the desert wasteland of Cops and formulaic sitcoms and Girls Gone Wild. I think Charlie's round oak table might be Stickley. And speaking of sets, I seem to recall now that Knoll/Saarinen were part of the Dick Cavett show from my 1970s childhood (seeing the old Cavett shows now on youtube almost always bring a smile, but I'm a fellow Nebraskan). E.L. Doctorow was on Rose the other night, I believe. Haven't seen this show yet - he was on last year talking about The March, etc. So good to see someone on TV not a movie star or politician, those two entities becoming, in the world of big money and marketing, essentially one and the same thing. Which reminds me, I need to read Ragtime again. And, among others, lest I forget, there's a remarkable interview on the good old interweb that Rose hosted with David wallace, an individual I mentioned upthread a ways back on one of the 'greatest finds' DA threads, probably seeming off-topic for many, but I'd be willing to posit most all your best writers are closet architects. * | |||||
| In Wright's defense...Part II | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| In Wright's defense...Part II (continued) Further, one has to remember that he had more career come backs than Kate Hepburn. Or, to put it another way, he was washed up more times than George Burns. No doubt, he developed a thick skin about a lot of what was said to have obsoleted him and his ideas, after seeing his ideas and buildings stand the test of time better than some others. Too many of us (me included) thinking out loud about great designers forget too often that to get anything done in this world is a dog fight everytime one tries...no matter how brilliant and acclaimed one is. Great designers are by definition scrappy, or they would have never gotten much done. Add to that that Wright viewed himself as short in physical stature and you have the makings of a very feisty welch terrier with the heart of a scot like william wallace, haunted by a mother like, well, like Portnoy's. As with all persons, we must come back to the man's work...to what he did. Almost any one of three or four ten year periods of his career would get an ordinary fellow in the hall of fame; that he had 3 or 4 such blossomings makes him almost unparallelled in any field of endeavor--his only real 20th Century equal being Picasso. Phillip Johnson had the tenure to compete, but neither the genius nor the buildings. To exceed the gravity of his lengthy genius you almost have to look to folks who performed freakishly well in multiple fields, like Michelangelo and da Vinci. Focusing too much (more than casually really) on a man's flaws who built the things he built is rather like complaining about the sun, which lights and energizes our entire planet, for having occassional sun spots that disturb our radio reception. All that being said, I sure wish he hadn't been so petulant and pig headed about the Community Christian Church in Kansas City where I grew up. I wished he had hung in and finished it his way. It would have been something and, selfishly speaking, I could have had one more of his buildings to spend alot of time inside. 🙂 | |||||
| Waffle - your 'palisander' | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | _ | General discussion | |
| Waffle - your 'palisander' set is awesome. I remember your set when I stumbled on this set last night. Of all the flatware designs by Don wallance, for Lauffer, 'design no. 1' is a classic & desired by most, but I accept anything that comes to me. https://goo.gl/images/AB4owp I found this link too that shows the flatware designs of Don wallance for Lauffer & Carl Pott in Germany. http://silversocietyofcanada.ca/sites/default/files/Hood2.pdf Aunt Mark, the set I found was in pristine condition except for the 2 tarnished pieces which according to the store manager was donated by a couple who only used those 2 pieces in their wedding reception. The store manager also told me that another customer 2 weeks ago paid the original asking price for the set but was only interested in the nice case that it came with but found the set too plain, & left it there to be resold. The set is perfect for me who likes plain simple stuff. I did not use polishers on this set, all I did was hand wash them & use the old fashioned method using a mixture of baking soda, table salt, hot water in a glass shallow dish lined with aluminum foil & soak. There are instructions & videos online if someone wants to try this method. This method is not for flatware sets with wood, plastic or other materials for grips/ handles. | |||||

| Daiquiris and Whiskey Sours | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| Daiquiris and Whiskey Sours are "Eames Era" (--as they say on Ebay) drinks that I enjoy. As a kid, I remember seeing recipes for Harvey wallbangers in my parents bar guides. Several years ago, at a painfully-hip bar, I was at a loss as to what to order, so I blurted out, "Harvey wallbanger, please!" to the bartender. The 20-something actor/ bartender looked at me as if I had ringworms in my eyelashes, and told me he didn't know how to make it. Chastised, I ordered a Cosmopolitan and skulked away. Another childhood dream, brutally crushed-- | |||||

Cooked woofers on Dr. Cassidy's prized quad walnut veneer KLH6's may or may not have happened during same. Harvey wallbangers and Maui-Wowie.

| Interesting! | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | Olive | General discussion | |
| Interesting! First of all any bartender who doesn't know how to make a Harvey wallbanger is not much of a bartender, thereby supporting DCWilson's premise. I tended bar in college and have gone on to make a thorough study of the science of the mixed drink. I've even got some very old recipe books that tell me how to make things like 'Flips' which are rum or whiskey and egg white whipped into a foam. Nowadays, I make excellent cocktails. The reason is simple. It's not that I can flip the bottles in the air or pour cascading fountains, that stuff's just silly showmanship, it's because I use the best ingredients and I pay atention to the details. A good vermouth does indeed enhance a Martini, but it's got to be the good stuff. I recommend Via by Quaddy Vineyards. It's superb. I make my own pickled green beans to garnish with. The sweet/salty/tangy flavor of them works wonders with the vermouth. I love olives, but I won't use anything from the grocery store. I get Divina's which are sweet plump and delicious! I've been know to garnish Bloody Mary's with slivers of leek. (I agree DCW they are far superior to onion in many applications. Spanish Tortilla Batata comes to mind) Good tools make all the difference too. A shaker needs to be big enough to let the ice do it's thing and aerate/hydrate the booze. There's no substitute for the proper glass. A chilled cocktail glass (commonly mislabeled as a 'martini' glass) is the only civilized way to pour. A cloth bar napkin and a stainless steel skewer (so as not to flavor the drink with wood, plus they're reusable) to complete the ritual. And it should be a ritual, something that was understood by the 'Eames Era' folks. That cocktail hour is special, a time to reconnect after your day and to stop and smell the alcohol to savor it slowy. Like with coffee, I am far more satisfied with one drink if I take the time to make it memorable! DCW, if you ever find yourself travelling to Santa Fe, let me know...we'll have you over for cocktails! | |||||
