Obviously, the decisions how to manage the virus are done at the local level, informed by community transmission, vaccination rate, and local capacity. So, we need to use the tools we have and get more people vaccinated to keep people safe without going backwards in any way, shape, or form. Ahead of tonight’s deadline, the federal government has achieved 95 percent compliance and 90 percent of the 3.5 million federal workers are already vaccinated.

And, you know, the U.S. government continues to encourage the Russian government through every — every contact with them, through every channels to secure his release. Again, regrettably, due to nature of the total — totally illegitimate charges they levied against Paul, the Russians are treating this situation differently than Brittney — Brittney’s situation, and we have been unable to secure his release. Once Brittney lands in the United States, she will be offered appropriate care and support from the U.S. government, including medical screenings as well. And this morning, just to clear up some of the questions that you all have had, Cherelle had been invited to the White House for a meeting with the National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan. As the President said this morning, he will — he will never stop working to secure Paul’s release and return home.

WH Press briefing on Biden Administration support for striking health care workers

We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. We are grateful for their leadership at the — at the last G20 and look forward to working closely with India as they’re new chair of the G20. I’m not going to speak to specific — every specific individual invites that was made last week.

Statement of President Joe Biden on the Passing of U.S. Congressman Donald Payne Jr.

But when we’re talking about hateful rhetoric, when we’re talking about violence, we have to call that out. It’s something that we are dealing with on all three fronts. And you’ve heard Secretary Blinken, obviously, who’s now in Beijing, speak to our concerns with respect to the PRC and its support for Russia’s defense industrial base. And we have been vocal from this podium about both North Korea and Iran, and we’ll continue to be. I can’t speak beyond that because, of course, we’re in the early days of fully understanding what happened. Until recently, as we’ve said on many occasions, we were unable to provide these ATACMS because of readiness concerns.

These three boxes here show what the effect is on hospitalization; severe, in the middle; and death, on the right. This is referred to as a Kaplan-Meier curve. And it’s very easy to see what the data are. The red line is showing the cumulative incidence after two doses, and the greenish line shows what that cumulative incidence is after three doses. There is no doubt what the efficacy and real-world effectiveness of boosters are here.

A second reporter later asked if Trump remembers speaking with his lawyer about the arbitration involving Stormy Daniels, or meeting her. A reporter pressed further and asked if McMaster would leave "anytime soon." It’s — it’s a concern that majority of Americans have.

We’re not saying that we do not want Americans to use TikTok. We want to make sure that it’s done in a way that we protect our national security and that we protect Americans. Because it would have been the toughest, it would have been the fairest if it was — if the President had an opportunity to sign that into law — you know, law that we had seen in some time. And it would have addressed a lot of the concerns that Republicans have that we’re seeing — the challenges that we’re seeing at the border. You know, President Biden spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu a little more than two weeks ago.

I want to take a moment and talk about the critical steps forward we took last week in our country’s vaccine booster program. I want to share with you what Friday’s regulatory action by FDA and updated recommendations from CDC means for millions of Americans. And your first question was about Iran sanctions. The EU has moved, the UK has moved, the United States has moved, and we will continue to move. Cherelle, who herself has handled Brittney’s detention with incredible strength, asked me to communicate once again her sincere gratitude to everyone in the administration and in their broader — and in their own broader support network, who made this day possible.

Jake Sullivan Says Vote Against Supplemental Will Hurt Ukraine and Help Russia

Kirby, who is widely respected by journalists as a valuable source of both information and soundbites, has requested to pick out who asks him questions at briefings, but Jean-Pierre has not agreed to allow him to do so. “Sometimes he talks to her and she acts as if he is not talking,” said a fourth source familiar with the situation and critical of Jean-Pierre. That is a promise that his administration is continuing to — contin- — continuing to fight for.

That’s something that we helped facilitate, including by giving the AU — African Union — our place in line. We have plenty of doses of Moderna for boosters and primary series here in the U.S.  So we’re able to do that to facilitate Moderna getting more doses to the African Union. Over 135 million individuals are now eligible for a booster shot, with tens of millions more becoming eligible over the coming months. This is a major step forward in our vaccination program that will help accelerate our work to put the pandemic behind us. Now, if you look at this again — I want to show it because the results in that same study are really dramatic. If you look at this again, the red boxes are what happens after placebo — after booster vaccination.

In this updated figure on COVID Data Tracker, the blue line shows rates of hospitalization among the unvaccinated and the green line among the vaccinated through September 25th. The downtick in hospitalizations of the blue line is because of decreasing case rates towards the end of September, and the very slight uptick in the green line represents waning immunity, for which we are recommending boosters. The seven-day average of hospital admissions is about 5,600 per day, about a 6 percent increase from the prior seven-day average. When a reporter asked where it might happen, noting the White House wouldn't want to hold the meeting in "downtown Pyongyang," Sanders said. "We won't have those conversations between me and the press. Those conversations will take place at a much higher level."

And so, I do think that this is very different because we actually have the tools to prevent the vast majority of cases. We can curb the spread of the virus without having to in any way shut down our economy. So that — you know, we have 82 percent of people now with one shot, and more and more people getting vaccinated each week. Stepping back, there’s no question that we are headed into a very different Thanksgiving compared to last year, when millions of families were unable to celebrate the holiday together.

As they try to coordinate the humanitarian element of this. So, I can’t speak specifically to these reports, how they relate to Israel’s future military operations, because I’ve only seen them kind of written in the newspaper. I haven’t yet seen what exactly they’re referring to. But I think really what this weekend showed is that, at the end of the day, despite substantial effort by a lot of parties, including the Russians, to figure out a way to not have this bill pass, it has passed. And I think the message that that sends is that, at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, the United States is going to be there with the resources necessary for Ukraine.

So, look, I would say, more broadly — and I said this moments ago — this is a deeply painful, painful moment for many communities, and we understand that. But the President believes that free speech, debate, and nondiscrimination on college campuses are important. And that — and so, he’ll always be very clear — we will always be very clear about here — about that here. The Lad- — Labor Department is also protecting retirement security by requiring financial advisors to act in the saver’s best interest, not their own. This will save millions of Americans thousands of dollars for their retirement accounts. So, you put all that together and I think the calculus of the Russians or the critics of Ukraine who say, “Time is on Russia’s side” — they’ve got it wrong.

For me and my family, we will reflect on how deeply thankful we are that we can safely be together. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre briefed reporters and responded to questions on several issues, including funding for new border wall construction, combating gun violence, and Ukraine aid. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was just asked why Trump accepted the meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un without "preconditions," such as the release of the three Americans that are being held there. We’re not saying we do not want TikTok to exist.

Biden tries to downplay age with jokes, mocks Trump at White House Correspondents Dinner

An election-year roast of President Joe Biden before journalists, celebrities and politicians at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner on Saturday butted up against growing public discord over the Israel-Hamas war. The message today, I think, is quite obvious, and that’s that vaccination requirements work. They’re implementable without disruptions. And they boost — they boost dramatically vaccination rates.

Support our journalism

And that’s true of Democrats, it’s true of Republicans, it’s true of independents. And that’s what’s shown through in the votes, both in the House and the 79-vote aye vote outcome we saw in the Senate last night. But it was also a reminder, in getting to see her, that there are still Americans and others being held hostage by Hamas. And we’re working day in, day out to ensure all of them also are able to get safely home to their loved ones. But significant damage has been done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s invasion during the funding impasse that dates back to August, when the Democratic president made his first emergency spending request for Ukraine aid. Even with a burst of new weapons and ammunition, it’s unlikely Ukraine will immediately recover after months of setbacks.

Defense Department Briefing

They are threatening settlements to the west of Avdiivka. And, of course, they’re raining hell down on Kharkiv and other cities across Ukraine. It was a long road to secure this funding. And I have to say, standing here today, it was too long. And the consequences of the delay have been felt in Ukraine.

WATCH: White House holds briefing after Biden signs Ukraine, Israel aid bill into law

But before I start talking about boosters, let me reiterate something that Dr. Walensky just said. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to reflect on where we were a year ago. I can remember waiting in great anticipation for the lifesaving vaccines we currently have at our fingertips. Last year, many families did not gather and celebrations went without parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Data updated and posted today on CDC’s COVID Data Tracker continue to show that unvaccinated people are six times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 than vaccinated individuals. And most tragic are the vaccine-preventable deaths we are still seeing from this disease.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan

But, you know, we want to make sure that people have the opportunity to peacefully protest — peacefully protest. And we’ve been consistent here throughout this administration. The President has been consistent about it, obviously, since 2017, but even before that, when he saw what happened in Charlottesville. We have to call out hateful, violent rhetoric. So, we’re going to let that process play out.

As I said, 95 percent of federal workers are in compliance and 90 percent are already vaccinated. And even once the deadline passes, as we’ve talked about, it’s not a cliff. We’ll continue to work with people, answer their questions, provide counseling and education, and get more and more people vaccinated. First, let’s talk about why this recommendation was made now. CDC is continuously monitoring the state of the pandemic, and our current surveillance shows a rise in cases over the past few weeks. Heading into the winter months when respiratory viruses are more likely to spread and with plans for increased holiday season travel and gathering, boosting people’s overall protection against COVID-19 disease and death was important to do now.

And I think Mitch McConnell spoke for himself on that. Obviously, we have shown our commitment to the great people of Ukraine as it relates to defending themselves against Russia’s aggression. And we believe that we need to do everything that we can to make sure that they have what they need to fight for their democracy, to fight for their freedom.

But if it does wane, which I hope it doesn’t, then we will address it. Q    Hi, thank you for taking my questions. I think I have one for Dr. Fauci and one for Dr. Walensky. Dr. Fauci, I think that many Americans are wondering how long the booster doses will be required. In other words, will we be looking out at a fourth shot or shots every six months or every year?

What I can say is that the President will continue to be vigilant about our national security, and — and he will remain — we will remain to act swiftly to protect it. Again, this is not a decision that he made lightly. Yesterday, U.S. officials met with Paul Whelan’s family to inform them of the news.

It is an amalgam of capabilities that come together and combine with the bravery and skill of Ukraine’s fighters that’s going to make the difference in this conflict. We are also providing Ukraine with new capabilities. I’m able to confirm, as you’ve heard from others, that in February the President directed his team to provide Ukraine with a significant number of ATACMS missiles for use inside Ukraine’s sovereign territory. That shipment started moving in March as part of the PDA that the President authorized on March 12th, and those missiles have arrived in Ukraine. Russia has tried to grind out very slow, costly progress on multiple fronts over the past few weeks. They are threatening the town of Chasiv Yar.

And with that, I’d be happy to take your questions. Russia is going to continue to press its attacks against Ukrainian defenses. But for the reasons that I have laid out, over time, we assess that Ukraine’s position in this conflict will improve, and we believe that Ukraine can and will win. The Czech government, whose Prime Minister was just here recently, has raised enough money to purchase half a million artillery shells for Ukraine, with hundreds of thousands more beyond that to follow. And despite the challenges that I’ve just described, I think it is very important for us to underscore that as we look ahead to the rest of 2024, our view is that Ukraine retains key advantages in this fight. Uk- — Ukraine can and will prevail, and that will be thanks to the bravery of its people but also the support of its friends.

Over the past six months, Ukraine has had to ration ammunition, and that has resulted in the loss of some territory in the east, including the city of Avdiivka. The bill makes important investments in our defense industrial base that will strengthen our own military. And, of course, it provides timely support to our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific as well.

As you know, Tim Cook was also in Phoenix, Arizona, when the President was talking about the CHIPS and Science Act. Remember, the President’s priority here has been and continues to be, as he’s — he is pushing his economic priorities, is to make sure that we’re creating manufacturing jobs right here in the U.S. I don’t know the specific case, so can’t speak to it, can’t speak to where we are internally or any — any outreach that has occurred. At the same time, the entire administration, as you’re asking me, remains committed to implementing the President’s executive order to help strengthen public trust and public safety. Again, I — we’ve — we’ve litigated this all week.

And what we have seen since then, as I was speaking about before with respect to the provision and facilitation of humanitarian assistance, has been a significant difference. But the administration will be well represented at that event. And so, we will continue in — to engage with the Prime Minister — the President will. We’ll continue to engage with his team in an effort for them to fully understand our perspective and where we think the right steps forward are and to listen to them as well.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Building ADUs in Los Angeles with hempcrete would be the biggest win, Velasco believes. On March 5, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced a new plan to speed up ADU construction in L.A., with 20 pre-approved ADU designs. The average detached ADU costs about $200,000 to construct, and Velasco says he’s budgeting about $100,00 for his ADU, a significant savings. Hempcrete seemed to be a material of the future that met California’s climate goals.

Specify and Build with Radical Responsibility.

The company also sources the timber framing's wood from a local sustainable forest, which allows Coexist to bypass some of the pricing complications other homebuilders and DIY-ers have seen throughout COVID-19, Konopitskaya said. Traveler has a midcentury modern Scandinavian appeal with a design that "merges the indoor and outdoor," according to Konopitskaya, a licensed architect. This was done by integrating a 12-foot-wide glass-paneled wall with a sliding door and mesh screen. While wood or steel framing has better load-bearing qualities, one study found that, as infill between traditional framing, hempcrete strengthens the walls against buckling. This forms the core of a breathable wall system -- Hemcrete is actually less like concrete and more like infill straw bale, as it is non-structural.

"And as a breathable material it allows for air flow. When you put concrete in your binder, it stops that air flow." Some in the construction industry refer to construction-grade hemp as hempcrete. But besides the name, hemp for insulation has nothing in common with concrete. All of this pays off in a home that costs little to run, and it ended up costing a respectable $133 per square foot to build. It has a certain association that comes with it and that's where hempcrete to me is the perfect material.

Because it holds such effective insulation and self-regulating properties, it can drastically reduce your energy consumption and lead to much affordable living. You can’t just start using it and expect contractors to be familiar with the material. You would have to take into consideration the additional cost of hiring builders and architects with specialized knowledge. The most famous site is probably a hemp mortar bridge in France from the 6th century, but it’s a lesser known fact that the famous Colosseum had sunscreen awnings made from cotton, flax, and hemp. The case for exempting hemp producers from fingerprinting and background checks is rooted in practicality, equity, and economic empowerment.

The new rules encourage more attainable housing with the least amount of taxpayer expense. The laws remove barriers such as zoning delays, local housing density covenants and parking restrictions. Chelsea is an eco minded city with a lot of land and a cute little downtown area. Living in Chelsea gives its residents peace and quiet with the luxury of being 20 minutes from a bustling city (Detroit). There are some subdivisions that have begun to take form there but it's mostly single homes on many acres of land. And the beautiful part of its life cycle is that at its end, hempcrete only goes back to nature, leaving no harmful waste behind.

"Over the life of a building, it actually gets stronger. It feels like it turns into stone."

Hemp Houses: A More Sustainable Way to Build and a Healthier Way to Live

Not to mention the energy consumed for the heavy machinery used by the building sector. The other option is to use hemp blocks, which are basically prefabricated building blocks. Although they sound more practical, architects are using timber-framed structures more often, probably because it’s a building method backed with more research. Connecticut, like many other states, has a deep-rooted history with hemp cultivation. In the 17th and 18th centuries, hemp was a vital crop for the fledgling colonies, primarily used for textiles, rope, and paper. However, as the nation shifted towards industrialization, hemp cultivation waned, and marijuana became entangled in the web of drug prohibition.

"People might think of hemp as a very alternative building product, but it doesn't have to be like that," Ms Jankowski said. The couple's home is also solar passive, with its windows, walls and floors designed to collect, store, reflect and distribute solar energy in the form of heat during winter months and deflect heat in summer. Madera, who declined to disclose the identity of his firm’s California client, said Hemp Technologies has consulted on three Hempcrete houses in North Carolina, where the material was treated as an alternative form of insulation. If you have a hempcrete project planned outside of New England, this is the best (and most cost-effective) way to get your company ready to embark in the wonderful of hempcrete.

They’re also the way the green industry could redeem itself for not being so “green” after all.

We’ll bring the expertise, props, and unbridled enthusiasm for building with local, rapidly renewable materials. This allows savvy customers looking for a construction project to build their own unit. And all it takes is one week, some power tools, and at least two people. That's when Traveler was born, inspired by the working parents' drive to create their own "well-performing and healthy" DIY kit using their area of expertise in hempcrete.

Predominantly, some form of concrete has been used by builders at least as far back as the days of the Roman Empire. It is manufactured from a range of materials, such as limestone, shells, chalk. These ingredients are heated to a high temperature to form rock that is then grounded into powder. The Chelsea house is a combination of a utility space for storage and the living space of 1,350 sq. It's in the shape of a barn but it has all the amenities a normal house does. It is a two story building and will be outfitted with many green building options such as a composting toilet, pellet-fed stove with a mini split for backup, and solar panels.

The owners are developers and they are in the process of building a whole community on their 22 acre property. All the buildings will have to follow specific guidelines that adhere to their green initiatives. We talked over the phone and met in person many months later on the jobsite after an out of-the-country option fell through and eventually they chose to trust Fiberfort with this project. And those hempcrete installers who jumped into this industry early – even with a scarcity of materials and skeptical building departments – are generously sharing their knowledge and expertise. It’s a spirit of “co-opetition” – working together and helping each other to build the industry. On the other hand, a hemp house can be a long-term return on investment.

The owner is thinking of doing interior cob walls and clay plaster with a lime render exterior. The walls are insulated with 12” thick hemp lime (hempcrete) encasing the 2 x 6 studs on a 2-foot center frame. The house is 27 feet tall with a mono-pitch roof insulated with 15” of HempWool with an R-value of 56. The house will be lime plastered on the exterior and earthen plastered on the interior.

The trigger for the latest troubles was the clearing by police of tents and protesters at Columbia on April 18th, and the arrest of more than a hundred students. This was an “alarming decision”, wrote Jameel Jaffer, from the university’s free-speech centre, adding that “it was not evident to us how the encampment and protest posed such a danger” as to justify the escalation. According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), the arrested protesters were peaceful and offered no resistance. “All these cops just swarming everywhere and we had people in like full riot gear.” Within days another encampment sprang up on a nearby lawn.

"I think there's a big problem with moms and dads coming home from quote-unquote 'dirty' jobs. Coming home with dirty clothes and sweating. You had a hard day's work and sometimes that's looked down upon," he says. Sy Kirby dreaded the thought of going to college after graduating from high school.

For example, enrollment is still down from pre-pandemic levels, which indicates that if students do not enroll this year due to issues accessing financial aid, they might choose never to enroll down the road. There's also a limited supply of high school seniors right now due to lower birth rates during the Great Recession. With a growing number of young people questioning the value of a college degree, enrollment-dependent institutions could suffer financial setbacks — or even shut down. Enrollment estimates are adjusted for Clearinghouse data coverage rates by institutional sector, state, and year.

That would mean that not only will colleges miss out on some graduating high school seniors — but they could also lose currently enrolled students who are forced to drop out because they could not navigate the financial aid system. Data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center shows the number of students enrolled in vocational-focused community colleges increased 16% from 2022 to 2023. The high cost of college isn't the only factor driving many young people toward skilled trades.

After Hemingway’s death in July of that year, his widow gave the ship to Gregorio Fuentes who had served as her captain. Fuentes also served as the basis for the character Santiago, in The Old Man and The Sea and passed away in 2002 at the age of 104. Hemingway’s boys named their new kitten Snow White and as Hemingway once wrote, “one cat just leads to another”. To this day, many of the cats that live at Hemingway Home are descendants of the original Snow White.

Review: In ‘Unsung Hero,’ a family’s musical success story comes to life via the clan itself

The Hemingway house was bought at a silent auction for $80,000 by Bernice Dixon, a local business owner. She lived in the main home until 1964, when she moved into the guest house and turned Hemingway’s home into a museum. Visitors to Key West are keen on seeing the house where Ernest Hemingway, one of America’s most respected novelists, lived and wrote for nine years.

Upon his departure from Key West, the captain presented the cat to Hemingway. Today many of the numerous cats that inhabit the grounds still possess the unusual six toes. Several years earlier, he’d met journalist Martha Gellhorn while she was vacationing in Key West. Pfeiffer would remain in the Key West home until her death in 1951, and the house would later be sold by the Hemingway sons after their father’s death. As he had been in Key West, Hemingway seemed inspired by his new surroundings, writing works such as For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, and receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

Ernest Hemingway’s long-lost Los Angeles visit

There are so many cats at Hemingway Home that the museum has its own veterinarian to care for them. Unfortunately, cats do not live forever, but you can pay your respects at the Cat Cemetery behind the house. As I was reading the plaque in the cemetery, I noticed that many of the cats were named after famous people. Charlie Chaplin, Emily Dickenson, Mark Twain and Marilyn Monroe were all cats that lived at the Hemingway house. The pool has a mammoth 80,784 gallon capacity, and at the time of installation there was no fresh running water in Key West. Accordingly, in 1938, pool construction involved drilling down to the salt-water table and installing a water pump to retrieve salt water to fill the pool.

Soon after arrival, Hemingway made the acquaintance of Charles Thompson, who ran the local hardware store. Charles Thompson introduced Hemingway to the exciting world of big game sport fishing, and a long friendship was born. Charles and his wife Lorine entertained the Hemingways at their home on Fleming Street. Lorine Thompson proved to be as friendly and gracious as her husband Charles, and it was during those early days in Key West she and Pauline forged a friendship that would endure for the rest of their lives. Both Ernest and Pauline grew to love Key West and its inhabitants, and soon decided to look for a permanent residence. After two seasons in Key West, Pauline’s Uncle Gus purchased the house on Whitehead Street for them in 1931.

I describe my travel style as "laid back luxe" and enjoy a mix of outdoor adventures and historic sites. He purchased the property, which by then had been boarded up and abandoned, for $8,000 in back taxes owed to the city. The Hemingway house was originally owned by Asa Tift, a marine architect and captain, who built the house in 1851. As of 2024, visiting the hallowed ground that belonged to this celebrated author will cost $18 for adults and $7 for kids.

During his years in Key West, Hemingway completed about 70% of his works including A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon and For Whom the Bell Tolls. On a slightly odder level, the estate is also home to over 50 cats, with names like Pablo Picasso, Hairy Truman, and Audrey Hepburn. About half of these cats are polydactyls—animals with extra toes. A ship captain once gave Hemingway a six-toed cat, of whom the writer was extremely fond, and from whom these cats are supposedly descended.

A Brief History Of The Ernest Hemingway House In Key West

I think that had a lot to do with the amount of people that were there. A cruise ship was in town that day, so there was a constant flow of visitors through the house. This lovely Key West home is where legendary author Ernest Hemingway lived and worked for more than ten years.

The two-story house was built in 1851 of native limestone in a Spanish colonial style by noted marine salvager Asa Tift. Pfeiffer’s wealthy uncle bought the then-derelict house as a wedding present for her and Hemingway in 1931, and the couple had the entire interior restored. The second story of the coach house in the back was made into a writing studio for Hemingway. The swimming pool, built in 1938 as a present from Pfeiffer to her husband, was the first residential swimming pool built in Key West.

Visitors often revel in the small details of the old house, whose best features are often not obvious and require some close attention in order to enjoy their true antiquated beauty. Hemingway was in fact an avid collector of furniture from Spain from the 17th and 18th centuries, and his 18th-century Walnut Secretary, complete with hidden compartments, remains one of the home’s most popular displays. There is certainly an element of vintage appeal throughout the house. The paintings, chandeliers, and other architectural details, which have been immaculately preserved over the years, foster a sense that time has magically stood still at the Hemingway house.

It was on the advice of John Dos Passos, a fellow member of the “Lost Generation” of ex-patriate artists and writers populating Paris during the 1920s, that Hemingway was first prompted to visit Key West. Hemingway did not go directly to South Florida from Paris, but rather arrived through Havana, Cuba—a city and country that would prove to be critically important in Hemingway’s later personal and professional life. Upon his arrival in Key West in April 1928, the first order of business was to locate the new Ford Roadster that Pauline Hemingway’s wealthy Uncle Gus had so generously purchased for the newlywed couple. Hemingway and his wife left Cuba in 1960, following Fidel Castro’s overthrow of the Batista government (although the left-leaning Hemingway’s sympathies were with the revolutionaries). In ill health and increasingly suffering from the depression that ran through his family, and which he had struggled against all his life, Hemingway settled in Idaho. On July 2, 1961, he shot himself in his Ketchum home and died, aged 61.

He quickly became obsessed with deep-water fishing, and soon bought his own boat, the Pilar. "Papa" Hemingway, as he’d dubbed himself, took to sailing the nearby waters with friends in tow, who were soon nicknamed the Key West Mob. A few weeks ago, she returned once again to L.A., the city that had spurned her so many times. She took the studio apartment in Santa Monica and began working to reclaim the old magic. Infamously, nobody on a low-salt diet is in a position to take Hellman’s word for anything.

On the wall of his home, a neat though cluttered house close to a cluster of small churches, the photo is displayed prominently. It shows a young Ellis with broad shoulders, huge arms and a massive chest, who looks like he might have given Mike Tyson a good fight. In 1940, when Ernest and Pauline divorced and he subsequently married Martha Gelhorn (whom he’d met at Sloppy Joe’s,) they relocated to Cuba and bought Finca Vigia (Lookout Farm) the home on a hilltop overlooking Havana. Pilar was docked at Cojimar, a small fishing village east of Havana, which was the inspiration for Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. Returning to Key West from an African safari in 1934, Ernest Hemingway stopped off in New York to take a few meetings.

Today, we carry on this legacy by offering the finest quality steaks cooked to perfection, providing a dining experience that celebrates the time-honored traditions of the steakhouse. The origins of the first steak houses can be attributed to the rise of the cattle industry in the United States. As pioneers and settlers moved westward, cattle ranching became a significant part of the American economy. The first steak houses emerged in the late 1800s, primarily in the Midwest and on the East Coast. These establishments catered to ranchers, cowboys, and travelers, serving them generous portions of tender, juicy steaks cooked over open flames. Our steakhouse in OKC pays homage to these early establishments by offering a diverse selection of cuts and preparing them with the same dedication and skill that characterized the original steak houses.

The Classic Steaks

Just an hour south of San Francisco, next door to Livermore’s beautiful Wineries, and down the street from Livermore Lawrence Laboratory, the Livermore Cattlemens has lots of action. If you’re looking for the best steakhouse experience in the Sonoma and Napa area, stop by the Petaluma Cattlemens to enjoy hand-cut steaks, sizzling prime rib, Seafood, pasta, and chicken entrees. Cattlemens is just 10 minutes from Sears Point Raceway, 45 minutes North of San Francisco, and near Sonoma State University. Steak houses have gained immense popularity across the United States and have become a beloved dining experience for people from all walks of life. While they can be found in various cities and towns throughout the country, certain regions have become synonymous with exceptional steakhouses.

And, by golly, if a few greenhorns manage to wrangle their way into the boot shop, that's okay, too. They won't find any "My parents went to Stockyard City and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" shirts or Elvis salt and pepper shakers. But they may leave knowing what a real steak tastes like, and that real boots don't come from Bloomingdale's. With several locations in the surrounding areas, we take pride in sourcing locally and supporting our community's suppliers. Our commitment is to deliver the finest cuts of premium beef, aged to perfection, and cooked to your preferred doneness, all while maintaining our local roots and values. It may seem odd that "meat scientist" is an actual career, but it's true — at least for Chris Calkins of the University of Nebraska and Dwain Johnson of the University of Florida.

Since 1947, Cattlemen's Internationally Famous Steak House has been in the business of serving quality cuts of meat and other fine menu items for lunch and dinner, all with a friendly smile, in an authentic western environment. Savor the signature Heart o' Texas rib-eye, a nicely marbled slab, as you watch the cook sear it over an open fire—the dining room's focal point. Before these experiments, the chuck (aka the shoulder area of the cow) was considered good only for things like ground beef for hamburgers.

Dinner Menu

If you’re looking for the best steakhouse experience in the Sonoma and Napa area, stop by the Rohnert Park Cattlemens to enjoy hand-cut steaks, sizzling prime rib, Seafood, pasta, and chicken entrees. The Rohnert Park location is in the Sonoma Valley, near many local wineries, just a short drive from the Russian River coastal beaches and giant redwoods, and Jack London State Historic Park. Just a few miles from Sonoma State University, Cattlemens is the perfect place to relax and have a great meal. In addition to being a delicious cut known for both flavor and affordability, it's also very versatile, as one of the best cuts of beef to use in place of flank steak (despite coming from a completely different part of the cow). It does very well with marinades and makes a great cut for tacos, whether you treat it as a slow-cooked meat or grill it. If you’re looking for the best steakhouse experience in the East Bay and Alameda County, stop by the Livermore Cattlemens to enjoy hand-cut steaks, sizzling prime rib, Seafood, pasta, and chicken entrees.

Our steakhouse in OKC has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere coupled with mouthwatering steaks that keep guests coming back for more. Whether you're a resident or just passing through, a visit to our steakhouse promises a truly memorable and satisfying dining experience. There's one steak cut, though, that's more recent — way more recent — to the point where it's barely older than the iPod. This is the flat iron steak, which isn't just one of the best cuts of steak for a dinner party, but also a triumph of meat science. It all started in 1998, when the National Cattleman's Beef Association tossed substantial grant money to a couple of scientists in the hopes of finding a new type of steak that had somehow been previously overlooked.

Prime Rib Tacos

Dubbing the result the flat iron steak for its resemblance to an old fashioned flat iron (broader at one end and tapered at the other), the NCBA went on a press blitz to popularize the new creation. The results were almost immediate, with flat iron rapidly becoming one of the top ten steak cuts in America both by volume and total sales over the next two decades. While their biggest hit, flat iron steak wasn't Calkins and Johnson's only success — if you've ever wondered what a Denver steak is or how you should cook it, that was another discovery of theirs.

Steakhouse Caesar Salad

In the late '90s, they put that title to good use when the NCBA gave them a $1.5 million grant to find an entirely new cut of steak. The pair tested 5,600 muscles to try to find something to fit the bill, and while they ultimately narrowed it down to 39 possibilities, there was one that stood head and shoulders above the rest. As the well-connected pastor of the Glide Memorial Church in the blighted Tenderloin district, he preached a “radically inclusive” gospel in serving people in need.

Cattlemen's Steakhouse

At Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in OKC, we take pride in the rich history of the steakhouse tradition. Initially, steak houses were seen as places where men gathered to enjoy hearty meals and indulge in quality cuts of beef. Over the years, these establishments evolved into iconic dining destinations, known for their warm ambiance and mouthwatering steaks.

But what Calkins and Johnson discovered in 2001 involved a particular part of the chuck called the top blade that had largely been overlooked for its high degree of connective tissue. When butchered properly, the top blade could actually be trimmed in a specific way to get rid of the sinew, resulting in an extremely flavorful and surprisingly affordable steak unlike anything on the market at the time. It required a significant amount of skill from butchers, but the end result was more than worth it. Cattlemen's Steakhouse is located smack in the middle of Stockyard City, a "must see" when visiting Oklahoma City.
