The Cooler
04/03/2012
This is the last week of Sun Sentinel coverage in the Cooler. I'll announce what I plan to do later on this week. In the meantime, enjoy.
A- Sun-Sentinel: On the up side, mosquitoes won't go near him.
The suicidal man survived the revolting attempt to take his own life.B- Sun-Sentinel: Life in South Florida.
But by downing a toxic cocktail of malathion — a common pesticide — he touched off a chain of disruptive consequences Sunday when fumes from the poison sickened three paramedics, shut down a hospital emergency room and knocked a rescue vehicle out of service for hours.
[...]
The bizarre incident began just before 1:30 a.m. when paramedics were called to the 5900 block of 40th Lane, where the man was found lying on the grass.
En route to Northwest Medical Center, the man vomited, Booker said, and three paramedics in the rescue truck with him began "to become dizzy, nauseous and getting headaches."
At the hospital the fumes pouring out of the man prompted hospital officials to move him to another floor, away from the emergency room, which was temporarily shut down as a precaution, Booker said.
The house that smelled up an entire neighborhood after a man's body decomposed for days inside a bedroom has finally been cleaned.C- Palm Beach Post: Liz Balmaseda returns to Miami...and eats.
On March 23, Mayor Mike Ryan said city officials would try to get permission from the jailed homeowner to enter the house and clean up.
But in the end, a bank came to the rescue.
On Thursday, Regions Bank had a biohazard company remove the soiled bedding that was causing the stench, Ryan said.
New architectural icons swank up the town. Storefronts and cafés pop open to reflect the city's ever-shifting demographics. Hip districts rise where hookers and drug dealers roamed not too many years ago. Magical toll-grabbing devices wink upon traffic-choked highways in green and red. And in the grid and gridlock, my Miami still dances to its own beat.D- WPLG: The new, improved BK.
I've been away for a few years now, and sometimes the metropolis confounds me with its sudden structures and new "it" places. Don't get me wrong- there's exciting stuff happening in Miami. In many ways, the city has reached its full cosmopolitan potential. It's so "there," you can taste it.
Over the past year, Burger King evaluated all of its ingredients from the bacon to the cheese slices it serves on its chargrilled burgers as part of a yearlong quest to reverse years of slumping sales of its Whoppers and fries. The result: On Monday, it plans to launch a lineup of smoothies, frappe coffees, chicken strips and snack wraps. The 10 new items mark Burger King's biggest menu expansion since the chain opened its doors in 1954.

A- Lotsa photos from yesterday's Trayvon Martin rally in Miami at Nikon Miami.
B- Obalesque has great fun with bill collectors and telemarketers.
Encouraged, they want a credit card, but I tell them I don’t have one — the bank cancelled my account when I over-extended the credit line buying a private jet. “Cheap bastards!” I say. “I gotta have my airplane, don’t I? Look — will you take cash? I’ll send you a fifty dollar bill!”C- Van Dyke's music calendar for the month of April is up at Soul of Miami.
D- Food for Thought's wrap up of the latest Cobaya dining experience has a particularly distinctive element to it.
In case anybody couldn't decipher the translation, there was no mistaking the next course when it got to the table: each diner was presented with half a roasted goat's head. The goat's brains had been pan-fried, glazed with caper butter, and nestled back into their original home for presentation. Diners were instructed to first eat the brain, then flip the skull for easier access to all the rest of its meaty goodness.E- Gilbert's has created a special burger just for the Burger Beast.
The 4B (Burger Beast’s Birthday Burger) is two 4 oz Certified Angus Beef Patties, sandwiched between crispy Bacon and Cheddar Cheese, topped with hand cut Potato Slices and then more Cheddar Cheese on an Egg Bun.F- The Miami Bike Scene has another alert for a unique-looking bike that was stolen from Grand Central...and another reminder to use something other than a cable lock.
G- Bark Bark Woof Woof observes that conservatives seem to be willing to go out of their way to defend the white guy who shot the unarmed Trayvon Martin.
The alleged shooter in the Trayvon Martin case is free, and as of this writing, is not facing any criminal liability. And that, as anyone with a sense of justice, logic, and awareness of the institutional racism that is seething through a good deal of the discussion, is the difference. That is why Trayvon Martin is a national issue.H- A whole bunch of new photos are up at The Street.

Located on the South East corner of Lantana Road and Jog road is this new delight of a pizza place called Esposito’s Coal Fire Pizza. This is the type of pizza you will drive miles to taste, and the next day you could very well crave it again.C- Eye on Miami would like to see more Norman Bramans in South Florida.
Norman Braman isn't Miami's only billionaire businessman. But he is the only Miami businessman who has had the courage, guts, and determination to tackle corrupt county politics by lending the weight of his voice and financial capacity to changing a dysfunctional status quo.

A- Food for Thought [now with video!] previews the Harding Dinner Series that you gotta move fast for if you care to experience it.
The next course was one of the best things I've eaten this year. Jeremiah' s duck pastrami was cured in salt, sugar and pink salt for about five days, then thin shavings of the duck were plated on a long communal plank[3] with brussels sprout "kraut" and a spiced pumpernickel streusel. It was just a perfect combination of flavors: the duck, meaty and fatty; the sprouts, bright, vegetal and tart; the streusel providing an earthy, spicy anchor for it all. Great stuff.B- Josh's Delicatessen & Appetizing is just a few weeks away from opening in Surfside, according to Eater Miami.
In addition to his award winning matzoh balls made with duck fat and ginger beer, Marcus promises a lot including smoked sable (black cod brined for three hours then hot smoked for four hours, topped with molasses and paprika); pickled mackerel; pastrami salmon; corned beef; Harding salami (a house-made combination of a savory Italian salami and classic kosher hard salami); and tongue.C- In case you haven't had enough of the story of Rakontur and their films of about South Florida, Salty Eggs satisfies the need.
“L.A. is the place where you go when you wanna be somebody. New York is the place you go when you are somebody. Miami’s the place you go when you wanna be somebody else. That defines so much of our culture here, and so many of the Gatsby-esque characters,” says Corben. “The city inspires us literally every day with its never-ending sordid and assorted cast of characters and stories past and present.”D- South Florida Food and Wine did a nice job documenting the Savor the Avenue dining event in Delray Beach last night.
The event was not just about food & wine but the entire outdoor experience with the highlight being the 1200+ foot dining table that stretched just about a quarter of a mile; each of the 18 participating restaurants decorated their tables personifying their restaurant, their staff and their chef.E- Redland Rambles has your CSA share for Week #17.
F- I'm getting the idea that Florida Keys Girl can be a tough customer at a restaurant after reading her review of Hakkasan.
We were running a little late for our reservation so we called and let them know that we are late, but would be there. We were told that was not a problem. Then we arrived to a thirty-plus minute wait. (Yes, I understand we were late, but we called and were essentially told that they would hold our table.) They did not hold our table. When I asked the hostess about it, she tried back pedaling and said that they do not hold tables. That would have been helpful information WHEN WE CALLED YOU. Not so helpful when we are sitting at the bar for over half an hour.G- South Florida Lawyers posts the latest "David Samson Of The Marlins Is An A-hole" story.
H- Was a Miami Beach police officer relieved of duty for racing along the beach with his siren and lights going? Random Pixels has the story.
And in another case that could prove to be a major headache for Martinez's new administration, I've learned that the chief was forced to relieve Officer Eric Dominguez of duty after a videotape surfaced that allegedly shows him speeding in his police cruiser along an area of the beach near Ocean Drive and 8th Street.I- South Beach Condo Blog breaks the news that Rosie O'Donnell has put her Miami Beach property on the market. Yeah. Me neither.
J- Obalesque has purchased his new car!
The new car is a RAV-4 Sport. This is our fourth RAV-4, but Yes, sadly, it’s our first automatic transmission. I called around to numerous dealers with small SUVs that allegedly offer manual shifts. Zero results.

| Porsche 911 |
The classic design of the 911 has been my favorite since I was young. I still love them and would one in any of its many versions.

| Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce |
Every garage needs a drop top, especially if you live in Florida. The Alfa [in red, of course] is my favorite.

| International Harvester Scout |
Since I'll be eventually moving out to Colorado, the Alfa and the Porsche are going to be grounded for 5 months out of the year. That's when I break out the Scout, knock it into 4-wheel drive and go!

| BMW 2002tii |
The memories of the rides I took in my Dad's burnt orange BMW 2002tii through the German countryside when I was a kid are still fresh in my memory. Why wouldn't I not want to relive those if I could?
So there they are. The four cars I would love to have to choose from for my sunny spring morning drive down the road.
What are some of yours?

Oh boy. The first week of games are going to be something to

B- Jeff Eats checks out The Filling Station in Miami and it sounds like he's okay with it.To be perfectly straight with you guys, my game is FOOD…I know a bunch of you folks are really into “this beer or that beer”–but when it comes to joints like The Filling Station–delicious burgers- fries -wings- pulled pork and philly steak subs are my end game.C- The Miami Bike Scene tee shirts are back!
D- Roy Black on concreteness.
Much of our language is abstract, but life is concrete. We need to turn our messages into concrete examples that the audience can easily grasp and remember. It is the difference between an engineer’s schematic and a working model.E- Salty Eggs reports on the mood that was present at the Trayvon Martin rally this weekend.
Friends and family told stories about the 17-year-old Martin: His football coach called him one of the “best defensive players” and a childhood friend described him as a “wise person, positive person.” Rev. Jesse Jackson called attention to the tragic and unnecessarily high rate of suspensions and expulsions among black male youth.F- South Florida Lawyers tells us how Republicans have decimated Florida's civil justice system.
G- Random Pixels says we need to get ready for Urban Beach Weekend 2012 'cause the Miami Beach PD is.
At the heart of the 20-page plan are: street closures up the ying-yang, strict enforcement of open container laws, zero-tolerance for illegal parking, nightly DUI and "safety" checkpoints near Watson Island on the MacArthur Causeway, possible closure of the MacArthur if traffic becomes unmanageable, "enhanced enforcement of obstruction of traffic" and a "traffic/cruising loop" that's been cleverly devised to "route [non-resident] traffic through and out of the city."H- Join what might be the world's largest conga line on roller skates this weekend on Miami Beach....at The305.Com.
I- Shula Burger in Islamorada makes a decent burger, according to Florida Keys Girl.
The burgers come in ten varieties, plus an option to make your own. At $6.99 to $8.99 they seem like a pretty good deal, too. That is, until you factor in that all sides are extra. Fries, onion rings and more can all be had for an extra charge. The burgers come in many varieties like the “wine country” with roasted peppers, roasted tomatoes and goat cheese topped with greens or the “southwest” with black bean and corn salsa, pepper jack cheese, roasted tomatoes and chipotle sauce.J- Lots of folks showed up at today's rally for the Coconut Grove Playhouse and the Grapevine was there with his camera.
All of the burgers are juicy, nicely cooked and come on a brioche style bun (yummy!) with the Shula logo branded on top.
Miami historian, Arva Moore Parks spoke on the behalf of the playhouse through the history that she knows. She spoke of various people who were there at the beginning. One, named Estelle Overstreet, a Grove pioneer, born in 1909, claims that fresh water sand was used to build the old 1927 building and apparently fresh water sand is very sound. In Arva's words, the building is "salvageable." She said, "The theater needs to be restored, the theater needs to be opened. Give it back!"K- Eye on Miami hosts an upbeat post from a guest that enjoyed his new Marlins Stadium experience. Lots of comments follow.
