New Web Site!

"In the Kitchen with Bartcop and Friends" is an electronic recipe file. 
These pages will attempt to catalog the best recipes from Bartcop and his 
readers. 

This idea was spawned by Bartcop's excellent Train Station Chicken 
recipe -- if you haven't tried it, you must! It's foolproof, perfect fried 
chicken.

We need more recipes like that; the dish that you always make for family 
gatherings, the one thing people rave about and demand you make for them. 
Please email them to recipes@pdxnet.netand I will review them and post 
them. Don't worry about the HTML, just send me text, or rich text, or a Word 
document, photos, video, whatever you have, and I'll take care of making it 
web-ready. Don't hesitate to write with any questions you may have and bring 
on the recipes!

Reader Response

I have to totally agree with Steve Simels review of The Monks. I happened to 
see a German TV performance of them from 1965 or 1966 (on videotape a few 
years ago) and they were ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

First off, this was no lip-sync, puffy pop performance. These boys were
raging full on, full power. They had the shaved monk heads and wore black
shirts, black chinos and black ties. The drummer had some crazy ass primal
beat going, loud as hell, the guitarist is making his guitar SCREAM with
distortion, there's a guy playing some enormous jingle bell shakers....it
was just insane!! I can't remember exactly what songs they did, but there
were two of them. 

The funniest thing about the whole performance is the kids dancing, since
this was some kind of Teutonic American Bandstand clone. The Monks are going
APE-SHIT onstage, barreling through some proto, fuzz-punk garage, chanting
the lyrics, and the German kids can barely dance to it. They don't have a
clue what to do to this music. And the ones that aren't making a confused
attempt at dancing are staring in disbelief.

The video I saw this on was some TV program produced by the always excellent
WFMU. After seeing this video, I proceeded to search out everything by this
amazing band.

Sandra Bernhard's one-week talk-show experiment got off to a rocky start this 
week on A&E. 

But the show may be finding its sea legs with viewership steadily rising since 
Monday. 

On Tuesday, Bernhard's show notched 422,000 viewers - a 43 percent audience 
increase. 

And viewership for Wednesday's show climbed even higher to 649,000 - up 
54 percent over Tuesday. 

Still, "The Sandra Bernhard Experience" is way down from "American Justice," 
which aired at 11 p.m. on A&E last summer. 

Over three nights, "Experience" averaged 456,000 viewers - down from the 
1.4 million figure that "American Justice" averaged in the timeslot last 
summer, according to Nielsen. 

"This is a one-week tryout - it's not a failure, and we're attracting a new 
type of viewer," said an A&E spokeswoman. 

Tonight's finale features Paul Mooney, Michele Lee and Lea Delaria.

A man was sentenced to listen to four hours of polka king Frankie Yankovic's 
greatest hits for driving through the city with his windows rolled down and 
his truck's stereo blaring. 

Municipal Judge John Nicholson found Alan Law guilty of disorderly conduct 
and ordered him to pay a $100 fine or listen to polka tunes. 

Law chose to face the music. 

Nicholson picked Yankovic's music because he thought the 19-year-old Law 
would not be a fan of the Cleveland polka legend, who died in 1998. 

"Most of the time I try to impart the Golden Rule to people: Do unto others 
as you would have others do unto you. You may enjoy listening to your music, 
but many people do not want to hear your music," Nicholson said. 

Law listened to the full four hours of Yankovic's hits, which included 
"Blue Skirt Waltz," "Who Stole the Kishka" and "Too Fat Polka," in a police 
station interview room Thursday.

Production of ``Becker,'' the hit CBS sitcom starring Ted Danson as a grouchy 
doctor, is back on track.

A breach-of-contract suit brought by five of the show's supporting players 
against Paramount Network Television in a dispute over salary negotiations 
``has been settled and all differences resolved,'' the two sides said in a 
joint statement.

Speaking for the actors, Farrell said, ``We are delighted that we were able 
to resolve our differences. ... we are all thrilled to be back on stage.''

``Becker'' is one of the top-rated comedies on television and currently ranks 
No. 15 in household ratings among all network shows in prime time. But the 
series has never generated much critical enthusiasm, nor has it passed muster 
as a commercial hit beyond CBS' Monday night block of comedy programming, 
according to Daily Variety.

Movie History

Pee-Wee Herman gave Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro his first movie role - as 
Duke the Dog-Faced Boy. Del Toro, who won an Oscar for "Traffic," made his 
screen debut in 1988's "Big Top Pee-Wee," Paul Reubens told Webster Hall 
curator Baird Jones. "I had really wanted him for my TV show ['Pee-Wee's 
Playhouse'], but his English was just so bad I didn't want to spend the 
time working through that. But he was incredibly funny."

For most of the year, Austin Richards pulls down a six-figure salary as an 
engineer in Santa Barbara, Calif. 

But during the week leading up to Labor Day, he's Dr. MegaVolt, whose 
high-voltage pyrotechnics are a top draw at the 16th-annual Burning Man 
counterculture festival in the northern Nevada desert. 

Richards is among 24,000 techies, artists, spiritualists and old hippies from 
at least 40 states and 12 countries expected to attend the gathering this week. 

The psychedelic festival combines wilderness camping and an eclectic mix of art 
and music in a surreal 5-square-mile encampment known as Black Rock City, 
120 miles north of Reno. 

Billed as the ultimate celebration of radical self-expression and self-reliance, 
Burning Man features a crazy, anything-goes atmosphere. 

It's a place where men can be seen walking in diapers or skirts and nude women 
can be seen bouncing on pogo sticks - and no one thinks anything of it.

The New York Post had to tighten security precautions Friday after the 
newspaper received several threats in response to a controversial opinion 
column written about Aaliyah, a pop singer who was killed late last week in 
a tragic plane crash. 

Two Post staffers said that the newspaper, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. 
(NWS), was making all employees show identification passes in order to gain 
entrance to its offices. 

The apparent source of the outrage is a column appearing in Friday's Post 
penned by Rod Dreher. Titled "Sure her death's tragic - but this is too much," 
the article calls the pop chanteuse "a beloved daughter but undistinguished 
singer of forgettable pop songs," and suggests the public attention attracted 
by Aaliyah's New York funeral was unwarranted. 

One Post staffer suggested that the newspaper may have received a bomb threat. 
A spokeswoman from the New York City Police Department couldn't confirm any 
report of a bomb scare at the newspaper. A security worker at the Post 
declined to comment.

In Memory

     A GLASS-PANELED CARRIAGE, pulled by a pair of cream-colored horses, 
brought the casket carrying Aaliyah to a private service at St. Ignatius 
Loyola Roman Catholic Church, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, for a 
Friday-morning funeral as more than 1,000 fans gathered outside. Ten 
pallbearers carried the cream-colored casket into the church, with the 
singer's mother and brother following behind.  

     Afterward, Aaliyah's mother stood a few feet from the casket in tears 
and released a single white dove into the sky. Within seconds, another 21 
were released — all told, there was one for each year of the singer's life.

     Fans of all ages began gathering near the church on Thursday night; 
by the time the funeral began Friday, at 10 a.m., about 1,000 people had 
crowded into a two-block radius, hoping to get a glimpse of Aaliyah's coffin.
