Seattle >Food & Dining > Oliver's Twist
6822 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA | Directions 9810347.679469 -122.355190
5 p.m.-1 a.m. Mon-Sat.
Neighborhoods: Northwest Seattle, Northwest, Phinney Ridge
The challenge at Twist isn't finding a cocktail you want but choosing just 1-2 of the delightful signature and classic cocktails. Happy hour all night Sunday and 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. Mon - Sat.
Hip and happenin' in the quiet Phinney neighborhood, full of life and plenty of bodies to fill it. Test out one of the regulars' drinks posted on the chalkboard, the garlic truffle popcorn and the bacon-wrapped dates.
A wonderful spot to spend an chatty evening with pals around cocktails and very well-crafted small bites.
Chef owned places always mean the food is going to be good. You can't always count on the same when it comes to the beverages. This place knocks it out in both. Non-pretentious Neighborhood spot that gets overlooked. Give them a try!
Fantastic cocktails, great snacks (like truffle popcorn) and excellent window seats for sunny days.
It's definately not a pick up place. Not a single in sight. Usually couples, or groups of people who are coupled. But that is only a problem if that is what you are loooking for.
I really love the kale, tomato soup and grilled cheese, and the truffle popcorn. I like the drinks too. Popcorn hasn't been consistent lately, which is a bummer. But It is still good/
Divine Cocktails – What to order at Olivers Twist? The answer is simple, a cocktail, however, which one, the choice is a bit cumbersome. Divided into two sections, oliver's twist cocktails aka house creations and the classics. Ranging from the sowerberry composed of gin, elderflower syrup, grapefruit and sweet vermouth to the sykes with rhum agricole, allspice, lime, ginger and housemade pineapple syrup, the drinks are well balanced with defined flavors. Classics such as the french 75 are refined in their own right. Warning these drinks pack punch! Just a few and your cheeks feel a wee bit warm.
Olivers Twist also offers a small tapas style menu. The rich roasted fingerlings in duck fat are not to be missed nor the bag of garlic truffled popcorn.
You'll find the decor to be equally appealing, an eclectic hipster vibe of sorts, be sure to look at the art/photography that adorns the walls. Ambient lighting keeps the bar dimly lit, perfect for a date or girls night out. On week nights the bar isn't very crowded, so take advantage of their killer happy hour from 5-7 or all night on Sundays, $2 off cocktails (normally $8) and $1 off food.
We've been by Oliver's Twist a million times and finally made it in on a cold night in December. We were looking forward to comfort food and from the previous reviews we'd seen, though Oliver's Twist would be the perfect spot. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our experience.
We started off with the garlic truffled popcorn and it was indeed a taste treat,definitely the highlight of our dinner. Next we tried the tomato cappuccino with mini grilled cheese sandwich. Decent tomato soup, but it could have been Campbell's from a can.
We rounded out our tasting dinner with the blue cheese-bacon stuffed dates with marcona almonds and warm tomato vinaigrette. Good lord, how could something with such amazing ingredients go so horribly wrong?!?!? Ugh. The dates were mushy and tasted like a salt lick. You could not discern the bacon, nor the blue cheese flavor. Forget about trying to find the subtlety of the tomato vinaigrette.
Next time, we'll go to Stumbling Goat instead.
Not too bad... just average – At first glance, the food menu looks great and, considering the fancy and delicious-sounding concoctions listed, prices look very reasonable. However, once the food arrives, it turns out to be overpriced for what you end up getting - and how much of it. One of us ordered an platter of open-faced mini-sandwiches of ham and tomato relish on toasted baguette slices (I forget the exact name of this dish). The bread was completely dry from the toasting and the texture of the over-crisped bread slices did not mesh well with the tomatoes and smoked meat on top. Definitely not worth $8. My own order, a chocolate-and-marshmallow grilled sandwich, was appropriately warm and gooey for the first few minutes but turned cold and sticky all too quickly, and the bread was way too dry as well. We're glad we found this restaurant, as it was one of the very few places in this neighborhood open after 9 pm, and the three of us were able to sit down, have a snack, and chat... but they could have done a much better job with the food.
Good for late-night drinks and nibbles – Oliver's Twist lives up to its name with its tasteful atmosphere and clever dishes. True Dickens fans will love that all of the house cocktails are named, appropriately, after bizarre Oliver Twist characters. Others will just love the ambience, music, casual feel and delicious appetizer-sized dishes. I'll give fair warning that this is not a good place to go if you're expecting to get full. While the food is wonderfully presented and delightfully different, this spot is much more condusive to the late-night, cocktail-sipping crowd. Plates are reasonably priced at around $8 and the combinations of flavors on the menu will indeed be an adventure for you to try! I recommend the Rose Maylie cocktail which, while the ingredients are slightly daunting, has a wonderful flavor that is accented by tones of rosemary.
It's a great place to mellow-out with friends and just be at ease as the waitstaff is friendly and quick to make suggestions but without rushing your party. If you are open to new tastes... give Oliver's a try!
Heaven in my neighborhood! – I've been to Oliver's many times since they opened and each time I go I am instantly delighted. This place is perfect for so many reasons...It's comfortable and artful, the food is simply delicious and the cocktails are unique and tantalizing. It's a great spot to hang out in a dark corner with my husband for an hour (while the kid is at home with the babysitter). Yet it's also a fun place to go with my girlfriends after work to drink and laugh and nosh on tasty small bites. The service is always friendly, well informed, laidback and professional.
My favorite new dish is the very simple, but absolutely delectable, pan-fried baguette with garlic, tomato and Serrano ham. It is a masterful example of how quality ingredients, prepared just right, can surpass the most complicated culinary creations. At $8.00 it is priced just right. Another finger-licking good dish is the Mt. Townsend Camembert with bacon compote. MMMMMM! But wait...What smells better than bacon? Popcorn! Oliver's truffled popcorn is the best ever. FYI the popcorn is not "greasy", that's truffle oil, people!
To the uninitiated, Oliver's cocktails can seem a bit unusual, but they always work and it adds to the experience. I go there BECAUSE the place is unique. I can make my own gin and tonic at home, but who in their right mind would think to make a Mr. Sowerberry at home? I for one don't have elderfower syrup in my cupboard. To those naysayers I say, expand your horizons, live a little, take a chance, it's only a drink after all. And if it isn't to your taste, try another!
Granted no place is perfect 100% of the time, (and there always will be whiners who will cry, complain and be petty about things of no real significance) but in my opinion Oliver's Twist is spot on in all categories including price. It is well worth a trip to Phinney Ridge. It's closer to nirvana than you think!
Trendy, attractive Phinney hang out. – Went to Oliver's Twist last night for about the third time. They make good drinks and the atmosphere is pleasing in general, but single males are not exactly welcomed with open arms. This is a place that as the bartender told me is a "chic" bar. The Duck fat fingerling potatoes and the Kale are both excellent if a touch pricey. Very strange Beer list, but apparently chosen by the owner for flavor, but there are beers from all over the world, but notably weak on selections from the PNW. Service while professionally friendly, is not particularly helpful or welcoming. If you're out in Phinney ridge with the girls, come here, if you're out with the boys, go somewhere else.
Cool place, don't go if hungry – The only thing I can really say about Oliver's Twist is that its cool. The drinks are cool, the interiors are cool, the food is cool, even the location (Phinney Ridge) is becoming cool. I tried the signature Artful Dodger, which is made with Cynar, a liqueur made from artichoke. It is immaculate looking, and very cool. The drink itself is okay, and I definitely think its requires an acquired (or at least experimental) taste. It is these signature cocktails that make Oliver's Twist such a cool experience - you look at the drink menu and think "what the hell is that?" But, try it and see, and you'll feel cool doing it.
The food is cool too, if a bit small and a bit overpriced. We had some sort of ham bruschetta/baguette plate (sorry, don't remember the specific name). It was $8 for three little pieces. For what it was worth, they were good and the presentation was nice, but I expected a bit more for $8.
Bad Service – I went on a Monday night with some girlfriends. We had never been but decided to go based on good reviews. The atmosphere is nice and laid-back, perfect for a catching up with friends. But our server was completely inattentive even though it was a slow night (maybe 4 other tables between her and the bartender). When she finally came to take our order we asked her some questions about their specialty cocktails but she just said she wasn't sure what to tell us and it was a matter of preference. Really? Anytime she asked us if we wanted anything else she had an attitude and made it clear we could go anytime. My friends and I work at a local bar & grill so we know the biz, we were not rude and even tipped more than 20% but I won't go back.
Service Nosey - Seriously! – I went with a small group of other mom's for a ladies night out. Whenever the conversation turned to the food the waitress would suddenly appear to comment on what we were just talking about....case in point one of my friends got the popcorn and was commenting on how it was good but pretty greasy and along comes the waitress from across the room to tell us she didn't think it was greasy. The she added her tip to the tab and when we were wondering about it at the table amongst ourselves she again came over from across the room to explain why she'd added the tip to the tab. I wonder what else she heard during out evening? It was a slow night but even if you hear the conversations happening at your customer's tables at least have the dignity to pretend you don't hear! The food was fine, not something I'd do often but the service was terrible!

I'll defend our rights to be rude and stupid
Research is everything in journalism so I am happy to be able to report that for this piece I spent a good half hour watching Rodney Rude videos on YouTube. It was probably around 1983 when I last devoted this level of attention to the work of this Australian comedian.
At our cutting-edge public school there was a tiny room you could hire called "the audio visual centre" which contained a single cassette player, and many lunch hours in Year 10 were spent with mates listening to our tape of the ground-breaking comedy LP Rodney Rude Live.
From memory the album went No.1 in the charts. It was regarded as massively offensive by many people.
Rude was banned from performing in Queensland for swearing and would probably be regarded in today's more politically correct age as even more objectionable.
The album is filled with bizarre stream-of-consciousness anecdotes involving moments such as Rude's sexual encounter with a lesbian at a rock festival who subsequently challenged him to a farting competition, his description of how he went to school with a boy who was "born without any arms or legs or anything, he was just a head" and who sank to the bottom of the pool in a school swimming contest on account of having a cramp.
Rude later released a single entitled I May Not Be a Wog (But I Look Like One) which did not fare as well as his debut LP.
He still pops up in the clubs from time to time with material which involves aberrant sexual banter, jokes about Japanese people, New Zealanders, Germans, albinos, the Pope, people with disabilities, and himself - a general smorgasbord of filth and weirdness.
I am not holding Rude out as the greatest comic of all time but there was a kind of charming and intense level of stupidity about him which endeared him to many Australians.
I write about him today because his largely squalid body of work forms a handy checklist for the types of sentiments which could soon be illegal. In the movie The People Versus Larry Flynt the American pornographer and founder of Hustler magazine argued that anyone who believed in free speech should support his cause because "I'm the worst", and that as someone at the squalid outer limits of taste he needed to win in the Supreme Court to affirm the sanctity of the First Amendment.
The weird thing about Australia right now is the types of laws which are being canvassed won't affect the most extreme and offensive and inflammatory sentiments or forms of behaviour, such as Larry Flynt's repellent concept of satire, but could actually snare behaviour which is quite mundane.
You could go through the once chart-topping LP by a largely harmless nut such as Rodney Rude and draw up a handy checklist of aggrieved groups who could have a humourless moan in a court of law under Canberra's beefed-up anti-discrimination laws.
The immediate past chief justice of NSW, Jim Spigelman, is such a level-headed and reasonable person that he is known in legal circles as Gentleman Jim. Spigelman is now the ABC chairman and he gave a terrific speech this week looking at how under the proposed changes it will become unlawful to offend people.
"We would be pretty much on our own in declaring conduct which does no more than offend to be unlawful. The freedom to offend is an integral component of freedom of speech," Mr Spigelman said. "There is no right not to be offended.
"I am not aware of any international human rights instrument or national anti-discrimination statute in another liberal democracy that extends to conduct which is merely offensive."
If you think back over the life of this toxic and dysfunctional parliament, where minority government has flushed out conduct on both sides which is way out of step with the way most people behave, the language of politics has become more heated than usual.
Julia Gillard has been labelled "JuLiar", called a witch, a crook, a feminazi, Tony Abbott has been labelled a misogynist, a negative, policy-free fraud, the Liberals accused of dealing with "scumbags" to pursue the AWU story and so on.
I am not sure whether any of this language is desirable. But I am convinced that none of it should be actionable, as all of it has the capacity to offend someone. And the moment we start letting people try their luck in court because they have their precious feelings hurt, we are heading down a disturbing path towards state-sanctioned limits on what passes for conversation.
There are already limits to what we can and cannot say anyway through the common law, with defamation being a very popular and often lucrative way to take action if you feel you have been hard done by and can convince a judge or a jury of your peers of that fact.
One of the most inflammatory moments of this year was the absurd and violent protest by the ratty minority within Sydney's Lebanese Muslim community, who thought that belting cops was a reasonable response to the screening of a film overseas ridiculing their chosen deity.
These blokes were clearly deeply offended. So much so that it was offensive to the rest of us.
We don't need our government treating us like those nuts in Martin Place, who clearly devote much of their time to being offended. The long-standing advice to calm down, keep things in perspective, or lighten up should hold more value than any government-mandated attempts to make sure no one ever says anything offensive, ever.

My favourite was "I'd like to see Simon Townsend's dog Woodrow piss all over him on TV, yeah I'd like to see that!" Classic humour. But I agree with this article. Too many precious little darlings out there. And it does start at the top. It seems our PM - bereft of any meaningful debate - has decided being offended is a point scorer. But it is all through our society now. Whimps. Sooks. Ah hell, now I will probably cop a barrage from some poor darling. Bugger 'em all.

Rodney was an amateur at swearing compared to Derek and Clive some 5-10 years earlier. If someone were to perform their acts live then they would be sentenced to life in prison under the new laws lol

And Trendsetters, how can you go past Rude's Health Warnings on Macca's !
A must to be played for every classroom in the war on obesity !
Zeta says:
Spigelman wasn't strictly correct. There are some pretty regressive German statutes on offensive behaviour. I've personally always found it ironic that in the nation responsible for 90 per cent of the world' scatological pornography you can't make a joke about the Holocaust. I'm not saying that I don't find jokes about the Holocaust offensive, but that I'd probably rather listen to a joke about the Holocaust than watch middle aged Germans mistake glass coffee tables for toilets.
I guess what concerns me most about the shit Roxon's put on this particular table is that it wouldn't just apply to jokes about the Holocaust, or scat porn, discretely – but that I couldn't even write the sentence above. I mean, it might be offensive to someone that I'd put the Holocaust and German scat porn in the same sentence. It might even be offensive to put Nicola Roxon, the Holocaust, and faeces in the same paragraph.
The problem, as I see it, is that nothing is universally offensive. Even within one homogenous culture, if such a thing even exists anymore, there is always a fringe where the edges around acceptable behaviour blur. Back to Germany, they took a very clear view that protecting the sensibilities of the majority was more important than respecting the freedoms of a degenerate few. So the Germans drew that line around behaviour and the Holocaust got put on one side, but a squeezing out a steamer on Hans's chest fell inside the other. And you can draw that line when your culture faces a really grave challenge like what faced Germany.
So what I'd like to ask Roxon is, what does she see as being our culture's grave challenge against which we have to draw this line? Is a good bullocking from shock jocks really adequate justification for doing what a country like Germany did in the face of such a grave question about where a culture's tolerance for tastelessness is?
I think what really worries me is that without that gravity to your question of offensiveness, the line you draw around it will be wide indeed. Confronted with the challenge of impinging on free speech to prevent Nazis, their sympathisers, and those who'd be disrespectful of that nation's horrific history having a forum, you can really put the German free speech laws into perspective. When your objective is to cut that kind of cancer out of your society, suddenly, scat porn isn't that bad.
You can see very clearly the same thinking in Howard's sedition laws. Confronted with the challenge of the war on terror, Parliament draws a very fine line around writings that are considered offensive to protect us from the kind of hate speech that breeds terrorism.
I don't think many people would argue that that is the line of offensiveness – well, some did argue, but they were dirty Trotskyites anyway.
The important thing about our existing laws is that they go straight to intent. You can make a joke about the Prophet, but you can't invoke his name to commit acts of terrorism. One is offensive to mainstream Australians, the other is not. The worrying thing we have now is the possibility of intent being removed, and people's 'feelings' being allowed into the equation.
DP says:
There are definitely 2 ways of saying the same (swear) word .Both have different meanings due to the way in which it is said
You can use a (swear) word as a noun OR as an adjective. Tone gives you the indication if it is meant light heartily and or nastily. The overall way in which words are USED is more important than the word itself.
Rodney Rude has mastered this he is also on tour at the moment.
sunny says:
I went to a Rodney Rude show at the local workers club about 20 years ago and fair dinkum they nearly had to revive me - don't think I've ever laughed that hard in my life. I'd heard the tapes so I knew what we were in for but as a live act he's just on another level.
"he went to school with a boy who was "born without any arms or legs or anything, he was just a head" and who sank to the bottom of the pool in a school swimming contest on account of having a cramp"
That same kid was a champion darts player "Put the dart in my mouth, feathers first" he'd say. "Now throw the fuckin board at me!"
Sickemrex says:
Nowhere near as funny as Kevin Bloody Wilson. Especially around the festive season. Santa Claus you effing c, where's me effing bike?
Wickerman says:
I still laugh at his "I hate cats" & "I still hate cats" songs. A relative of mine was shocked (being a cat lover), & claimed "thats not funny". It bloody was to me:
If you like farting in bed, grab by his little head,
hold him under the sheets, hold 'til he's f******g beat….
make your cat sniff your farts.
But no time did I consider doing any of the stupid things in the songs to a cat, because it was….humour
JoniM says:
"So the Germans drew that line around behaviour and the Holocaust got put on one side, but a squeezing out a steamer on Hans's chest fell inside the other. "
So beautifully penned, Zeta !
You have encapsulated the whole issue regarding this totally divisive proposition from this government.
Who's rights and sensibilities are actually being served by these proposed law changes and who will decide who's rights of one group may be jeopardised by the finding of offensiveness by another group ? Or not !
Grab your favourite can of worms !
Proud thinking Australian says:
I have often used Rodney's "great work from the 1980's" as a benchmark to indicate just how low the current mainstream free to air FM radio media aka 2dayFM has gone in comparison with radio banter from the same period (back in the 80's).
The net effect is that "Youth 18-35 segment?" radio on the FM band is now certainly very compatible with Rodney's crude and immature banter or worse. It appears that our worst content is directed to warp young minds first thing in the day, nice work guys…Per "Back to the Future 2" we are now living in the downside-up alternative 1985.
Unlike Rodney's good-old target audience (then and now) "free to air" morning FM radio is much more pervasive and indiscriminate in its broadcast reach. Much like an open sewer, you can smell the stench for miles on free to air (now even around the globe it can kick up a stink).
Ethical standards in broadcasting (if we can get some – don't hold your breath) should be welcomed as a friend on the pathway to a better, positive, life-affirming, quality services for all public listeners in the community.
Mainstream youth/shock FM radio has been trolling much lower than community standards would prefer for years. A correction is well and truly overdue. Others in media la-la-land should stop writing apologist pieces trying to put off the inevitable Judgement Day. It has now come. You have been defecating in the water supply far too long. Your material has reached the ceiling fan level.
One of the critical milestones for civilisation and community health from 3rd world to 1st world living conditions is the conversion of open sewer drains into closed and buried pipe sewer systems below the ground. It keeps the nasties & pathogens inherent in human habitation out of harm's way for the general population to enjoy clean conditions and good health.
May the potty talk be kept locked-up in the out-house and off the public free to air broadcast record - for good!

The war in Afghanistan may be coming to end but many soldiers will never be the same. More than 1,400 servicemen and women have lost limbs serving our country. Some of them are regaining their mobility in a unique and fun way. S.U.D.S. (Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of America's wounded warriors by teaching them to scuba dive.
While these soldiers are used to hearing explosions and gun shots while they are protecting our country's freedom, SUDS puts them in a tranquil environment where they mostly hear the bubbles coming from their SCUBA regulators or the crackling of the reefs. More than 200 wounded warriors have taken part in this amazing program and it has proven to be completely life changing.

Office of the President
Thank you for your interest in Siena College. I have known Siena as a student, alumnus, Franciscan friar, Trustee, Director of the Franciscan Center for Service and Advocacy, professor and now president. For me, this liberal arts college with Franciscan and Catholic roots is home; it has had a profound effect on me for the greater part of my life.
As we embark upon a new decade, we are keenly aware that we are living in the midst of what many describe as "challenging times." For some, this description leads them to become extremely cautious so as to avoid threats that may or may not be on the horizon. Others may want to seize the moment and actively seek out the opportunities that may emerge. I believe that St. Francis and his followers tend to take the latter approach. It is the approach we take here at Siena. Our students' desire to learn and serve grows more powerful while they are living and learning here. When they graduate, they go on to become ethical leaders who make a difference in their communities. I invite you to read about Siena's accomplishments in the last academic year in the President's Report.
As Siena approaches its 75th anniversary, we are reviewing the College's Strategic Plan and refining our goals. I look to all of my advisors – administrators, faculty, students, alumni, partners and friends – to reflect on their Siena experiences and provide input on what they would like to see the College become. Our commitment to Siena and its mission is the strongest possible foundation on which to build this future. As St. Francis said, "Let us begin again!"
Fr. Kevin Mullen '75, O.F.M., Ph.D

Before procuring a new rifle, the military needs to decide what the next rifle round is
going to be.
Will it be case-telescoped, or caseless? 6.5mm, 6.8mm, or will they stick with 5.56mm?
Until this is settled, I don't see a new rifle program making much progress.

Caseless would be such an outside shot that the asteroid that missed Earth by 17k miles the other day would look close by comparison
6.8mm is a very remote possbility IMO, but I just don't see them moving away from 5.56mm anytime soon due to weight/ammo count concern, especially since the new rounds seem to be performing well in theater.

The M16 may not be the most reliable weapon in the house, but it is quite accurate , lightweight and easy to handle as compared to other medium firearms I have handled (P90, MP5, SAR21). Tje lightweight of the ammo means I don't have to worry if the SAW gunner goes down.
What the 5.56 needs is some API variant. Illum rounds don't cut it if you want to destroy something you can't reach by shooting at it. And I don't trust my M203 to be a quiet loli in my arms.
The P90's round could be more useful it it had a longer range and larger mass.

The next rifle will probably use the same ammo as the LSAT, for the sake of commonality:
So it'll be worth keeping an eye on that program.

Additionally, there would be a LOT of procurement issues to address - making the transition from one bullet standard to another, procuring millions of those rounds (which right now are manufactured by a single company, which might create a monopoly controversy, unless the other manufacturers are granted production licenses to maintain market competition) to the regular troops, etc, etc.
By the time the cased telescopic/caseless tech gets all the kinks figured out (one of the major worries with caseless rounds was of the propellant misfiring in the chamber because of the accrued heat from the barrel), we'll probably have a new version of the AR15/AR18 platform (G36 and SCAR weapons directly draw inspiration from the AR18, which was Eugene Stoner's attempt to perfect the AR15) issued to the troops, who are still have very high confidence in the M4/M16 family. And the said confidence shows: most members of the new competition (referenced in this topic's previous page) are AR15/AR18 clones/derivatives. People are still clinging to things they're highly familiar with.
Now, back in the 1980s, the US Army kickstarted the ACR competition, through which they sought to replace the M16 with a significantly deadlier infantry rifle. Most competitors submitted really ingenious stuff like the Heckler & Koch G11 (actually the technological father of the LSAT LMG, since AAI bought the caseless technology from H&K), the Steyr-Mannlicher ACR (which fired flechettes) and the Colt ACR (essentially a tricked-out M16A3, except that each round fired two, telescopic bullets to create some sort of "double-whammy" effect)...and even then those prototypes still failed to convince the R&D guys that a significant leap in both reliability, practicality and lethality had been achieved.
The bigwigs at the Pentagon are probably waiting for some sort of wonderweapon that'll remind them of the difference they felt when they switched from the M14 to the M16 (and yes, I know about how the M16's technical immaturity in Vietnam [i.e. the gunpowder soot problem that caused the weapon to jam in the middle of a firefight] actually downplays the aforementioned difference). Until then, they'll stick with what they already have.
As for the XM25...that's a squad weapon for ranged engagements and barricade clearing/counter-sniping. Its usefulness decreases in close combat or within a city that has few, wide open areas to shoot across.

The unsavoury options are to crawl across to the thing and destroy it by hand, or to fire a HEDP and blow and wake everything up. XM25 doesn't cut it, so nope.

Speaking of high-powered weapons, I wonder if something will eventually come out of this prototype (Modern Firearms profile). It's a step-up from the M240 (lighter, packs more punch), but I'm dubitative as to whether USAR/USMC/USN has a genuine need for it (they certainly do need firearms with longer range), as the M240 is still fairly popular among the troops and reportedly does its job well. The main purpose of this weapon is obviously to deliver sustained fire to very long ranges (>600m?) - something I can understand since skirmishes in Afghanistan often required long-barreled/high-caliber (>=7.62mm/.308W) firearms, but one should ask whether this task shouldn't be handed off to DMRs and precision rifles instead. At 600m and beyond, accuracy might be an issue, even if imprecise shots do still keep the enemy's heads down.
Besides, there should be a certain amount of trouble associated with adopting a poorly-known caliber (.338 Norma Magnum / 8.6x64mm) in a world dominated by 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm...

Speaking of 5.56mm/.223, what do you ladies and gents think of the pullpup concept rifles such as the TAVOR?
It is my understanding that these types of weapons have better center of balance, ergonomics, and are more precise when fired.
Is that true?

I by nature love the futuristic look of bullpups. But there is no undeniable doubt about its compactness while maintaining full length barrel is a key its success. They do balance better than a conventional rifle with most of the weight being at the shoulder since it contains most of the action. I have an MSAR-556 (AUG Clone) and its a great shooter. Still meets OAL as required in my state but its shorter (in handling and size) than my LMT M4 with a 16" barrel with the stock collapsed.
But there are draw backs to certain bullpup designs. Most bullpups put the ejection on the opposite side of the action. But it is normally level with your face. If you had to try to shoot with the opposing shoulder, you are more than likely going to get brass in the face. Certain bullpups like the FS2000, Keltec RFB, PS90/P90 tend to overcome these items because they eject forward in the cases of the FS2000, FRB or downward like the PS90s. I could go on, but needless to say the initial drawbacks have all but been eliminated or mitigated either by design or new style weapon manipulation skills specific to bullpup guns.
Here is MAC Youtube introduction into that specific rifle.
I'm hoping to get my hands on that particular TAVOR before all this legislation comes to pass..

Ahem. Guess who's back after a hiatus? (caused by his main weapons supplier and sponsor getting murdered and the BATF later raiding his house and seizing his firearms stash)
ROFL. If I hadn't already known how weird pyrotechnics could look when captured by high-speed cameras, I'd have accused this guy of using a cheap VFX program to embellish his video. ;p

"The Hamburger:History" Josh Ozersky.
Mon, 09/3/12 12:17 PM
"The Hamburger: A History" by Josh Ozersky.
The iconic hamburger that we know and love today is very much an American invention, according to "The Hamburger: A History" by Josh Ozersky. However, the true identity of its inventor is still open for debate. Here is a brief history of the early hamburger.
Published September 03, 2012 FoxNews.com
Hamburg steak
Minced or chopped beef was a popular dish in Hamburg, Germany in the nineteenth century. This so-called Hamburg steak was a familiar dish for the German immigrants that left Hamburg for the United States. It was also perfect for New York City because it was filling and could be easily eaten while standing up or on the go. Hamburg steak can be found on a menu from New York's Delmonico's that was printed back in 1837.
Who is the father of the hamburger?
It is not clear who is responsible for the first hamburger. It may be "Hamburger Charlie" Nagreen, who is said to have sold meatballs between two pieces of bread at a fair in Seymour, Wis. in 1885. He is said to have called this sandwich the "hamburger." However, others believe that Frank and Charles Menches, two brothers from Ohio, sold their ground beef sandwich in Hamburg, N.Y. in 1885, making them the supposedly fathers of the hamburger.
Yet another claim comes from New Haven, Conn. Louis Lassen reportedly served some ground beef trimmings between two slices of toast in 1900. And then there was "Uncle" Fletcher David, a Texan who is said to have created the hamburger in the late 1880s. Legend has it that Uncle Fletcher brought his sandwich to St. Louis for the 1904 World's Fair, where it was dubbed the "hamburger." Critics argue that this ground beef sandwich was served on simple slices of bread rather than a bun, so it cannot claim to be the first hamburger.
In April 1995, the governor of Oklahoma proclaimed that Tulsa is, in fact, the real birthplace of the hamburger. Oscar Weber Bilby is said to have served the first hamburger, bun and all, in 1891 at a Fourth of July part just west of what is now Tulsa.
Hamburger becomes a fast food favorite
So, we know that the hamburger was around by the turn of the twentieth century, but Alan Rocke, a history professor at Case Western Reserve University, says that doesn't mean it was respected back then.
"It was considered questionable food except for workingmen's lunches, as hamburgers were commonly 'mystery meat' served in small greasy-spoon short-order diners, often set up near factories," Rocke says.
With the arrival of the automobile and the public desire for on-the-go meals came a reputation makeover for the hamburger. White Castle -- yes, the same one that Harold and Kumar embark on a journey to find -- became the first fast food burger chain. It was founded in Wichita, Kan. in 1921.
"'White' was chosen to escape the public perception that hamburgers were unsanitary," Rocke explains, "[and] 'Castle' to evoke a higher-class product."
The cheeseburger and the golden arches
Lionel Sternberger is said to have added cheese to the burger in the mid-1920s while working as a short-order cook in Pasadena, Calif.
Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's franchise restaurant in Des Plaines, Ill. in 1955, establishing the McDonald's that we know today. As Tom Robbins wrote in Esquire in 1983, "Columbus discovered America, Jefferson invented it, Lincoln unified it, Goldwyn mythologized it, and Kroc Big Mac'd it."
Today, McDonald's restaurants serve 68 million people every day and can be found in 119 countries. Wendy's and Burger King round out the top three biggest hamburger chain by volume.

Five unique things about Busch Gardens
I'm not anti- Busch Gardens, honest. It's just not very convenient to my Orlando-based life. The bottom line is, I would have to pass Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, SeaWorld Orlando, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom in order to reach Busch Gardens.

University of Connecticut Women's Team Destroys Notre Dame in NCAA Final
But does basketball matter if few people watch?
A week ago, the NCAA Division I basketball tournament reached its apex. And the University of Connecticut won. Nope, not the men's game, which was fantastic, sure, but the women's game. It was truly historic, and not just according to the wonks at 538, the newly minted sports blog from famed statistician Nate Silver. While there have been undefeated teams ostensibly playing for a national championship before—in college football at least—that's never been the case in basketball.
Many say the latest victory for the UConn women represents an endorsement of their coach, Geno Auriemma. With long-time rival Pat Summitt retired, it seems as though almost no one can stand in the way of the Huskies and their long-running records. Notre Dame fought valiantly for their place as the spoiler, and maybe if they'd had Natalie Achonwa or Ace playing alongside her senior teammates, things could have gone differently.
There's no shame in losing to this UConn team, but there are definitely columnists who have wondered if all those Husky wins piling up are leading to Geno and Co. fatigue. While Mechelle Voepel argues that UConn's winning ways are good for women's basketball overall, there's definitely room for disagreement. Kate Fagan reasons that games are better when they're truly competitive and if Notre Dame represents the best team that UConn had to face, things are getting into a bad place. The bottom line: We need a multitude of better teams, not just UConn.
The takeaway a week later, with almost no one talking about the women's game, despite the WNBA Draft already occurring, is that NCAA Division I basketball is still all about the men's game. March Madness, to most people, means men's games exclusively. Even if—or rather, when—two undefeated teams play, something that has never happened in the sport before, there's very little attention for the women. Something needs to change.

For many the lo-fi, folk-rock "movement" of the late-'90s begins and ends with Neutral Milk Hotel. Originally formed in Ruston, La. by singer/guitarist Jeff Mangum as a recording project, it wasn't until the 1996 release of On Avery Island that Neutral Milk Hotel became a full-fledged band. The budding foursome relocated to New York, where they would finish their short-lived career with an exhaustive tour for sophomore release In the Aeroplane Over the Sea way back in 1998. Think Sebadoh-meets-Guided by Voices. Critically acclaimed yet largely ignored by the mainstream record-buying public, the album eventually became something of a legend in its own time.
Fast-forward 16 years, and NMH has become the progenitor of such roundly lauded bands as Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Franz Ferdinand, and their music has been covered by Brand New, The Dresden Dolls and The Mountain Goats. After a lengthy hiatus, Neutral Milk Hotel has finally reunited to embark on a reunion tour featuring the lineup from their seminal release, In the Aeroplane. This show is for old and new fans alike—yes, even indie-folk has made a strong comeback in recent years—and In the Aeroplane is, for many, still the defining release of the genre's first wave, seamlessly blending folk, rock, psychedelic and shoegaze into one succinct package. Neutral Milk Hotel's all-ages concert at Kiva Auditorium (401 Second Street NW) tomorrow night is a must-see. The show happens at 7:30pm; tickets start at $36, and lo-fi indie-pop group Elf Power opens. Kiva Auditorium, Albuquerque Convention Center • Thu Apr 17 • 7:30pm • $36-$51 • ALL-AGES! • View on Alibi calendar

Después de una ausencia de las canchas, el delantero colombiano Jose Correa regreso con Chivas USA en el partido de anoche ante Charlotte Eagles y anotó los dos goles que le dio la victoria de 2-1 en los cuartos de final de la Copa Abierta de los Estados Unidos en Titan Stadium. Los rojiblancos ahora avanzaran a la siguiente ronda para enfrentar a Seattle Sounders en la semifinal el 10 de julio en Seattle.
And he's at it again! Dan Kennedy has been nominated for this week's MLS Save of the Week. Although his heroics saved Chivas USA on multiple occasions in the past three games, Dan's save vs FC Dallas has earned him a nod. Check out his save:
Vote for Dan Kennedy for Save of the week by clicking here. And don't forget to vote for Dan for the 2012 MLS All-Star online and via SMS by sending a text to 22442 with the LAST name of the player you're voting for, in this case KENNEDY.
Just minutes after coming into the match, Jorge Villafana crossed a ball that found Juan Pablo Angel inside the box, allowing the Colombian forward to head the ball home for Chivas USA's 2-1 win over Montreal Impact. But don't take our word for it, take a look:
It has been a real battle for the MLS All-Star goalkeeper spot between Chivas USA's Dan Kennedy and Sporting Kansas City's Jimmy Nielsen since the voting opened earlier this month, but luckily, Kennedy is currently leading the poll! So far in the season, Kennedy has had 49 saves in the season, ranking among the top four in the league in comparison to Nielsen's 29 saves. Since his integration to Major League Soccer in 2008, Kennedy has made 194 saves, landing him in the 38th all-time goalkeeping spot, and is just one save away from tying with legendary Mexican goalkeeper (and forward) Jorge Campos. The 29 year-old Kennedy is also 94 saves from matching former Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who currently sits in 29th place with 288 saves. On average, Kennedy makes 3.5 saves per match.
Even though Kennedy is leading in the votes, it's up to you to keep him up there and get him to that MLS All-Star Team! You can continue voting for him online (click here), but since you already have your phone in your hand, send a text with the player's last name to 22442. You may also vote via Twitter from June 21-22 by sending your candidates full name and using the hashtag #MLSAllStar and you MUST be following @MLS. There are plenty of ways you can vote for Kennedy and all the other Chivas USA players. You just gotta do it… NOW!
Venezuelan forward Alejandro Moreno receives an MLS All-Star nomination as he enters his 11th season in MLS. In his career, Moreno has played 259 games (209 starts), notching 51 goals and 37 assists. In his second season with Chivas USA, Moreno has disputed nine games (eight starts) missing the first three games of the season due to a broken nose in the preseason. Upon his return to the starting line-up, the team captain made an immediate impact in the team's attacking front, scoring his first goal of the season in the team's 2-1 win over Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field on April 7. With that goal, Moreno tied as the top Venezuelan goal scorer in MLS along with Giovanni Savarese. Check out Moreno's 51st career goal:
Colombian forward Juan Pablo Angel receives his fourth nomination to MLS All-Star Team after stellar performances in the six games (four starts) he has played this season with the Red-and-White after missing five games early this season due to concussion symptoms. The first MLS All-Star Team participation for Angel came in 2007, just as the 36 year-old striker began his MLS career with New York Red Bulls. In his first All-Star game, Angel faced Scottish Premier League Celtic FC, scored one goal and was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Angel received his second consecutive call-up in 2008 and later in 2010. So far this season, Angel has scored two goals with the Goats, the latest being against his former team New York Red Bulls on May 23 at Red Bull Arena and leads the team with 19 shots and eight shots on goal. His performance and goal in the 1-1 draw with the Red Bulls earned him a nomination to MLS Goal of the Week and named him Futbol MLS' Latino of the Week.
Ecuadorian midfielder Oswaldo Minda joined Chivas USA in the offseason, just days after being crowned league champion in his native country. Since then, Minda has made a strong impact in the Red-and-White midfield, proving to be just what the team needed. So far in the season, Minda has played 11 games (all starts), missing only two games due to accumulation of yellow cards and international duty (CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers.) Just last April 16, Minda scored his first MLS career goal (23rd career goal), which led to Chivas USA's 1-0 win over Toronto FC in BMO Field. For that goal, Minda was named Futbol MLS' Latino of the Week for Week 6. Check out Minda first goal with the Red-and-White:
Nick LaBrocca receives his second consecutive MLS All-Star Team nomination as the midfielder has proven himself on the field this season, playing 12 games (all starts) with Chivas USA before a hamstring injury paused his season. Just last year, LaBrocca finished the season with eight goal scores, sharing the top spot with Justin Braun. Currently, LaBrocca sits behind forward Juan Pablo Angel with most shots (17) and shots on goal (6) and has already began scoring this year. His first goal of the season came on April 7th, as the New Jersey native scored the winning goal in Chivas USA's second consecutive road win at Portland Timbers. Check out his goal:
Defender James Riley joined Chivas USA during the 2011 MLS Expansion Draft after three successful years with Seattle Sounders FC and now receives his first MLS All-Star Team nomination. Since his integration to the club, Riley has helped lead the team to be among the top four best back lines in the Western Conference (seventh overall). He has played in 13 games (all starts), and so far, has two assists, that includes Juan Agudelo's first goal with the club in the team's last match vs Seattle Sounders on May 26, match that earned him a spot in MLSsoccer.com's Team of the Week for Week 12.
Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy receives his first MLS All-Star nomination this year as the 29 year-old Goat has had a stellar year with the Red-and-White. So far in the 2012 season, Kennedy sits among the top four goalkeepers in the league with 47 saves in the 13 games he has played (all starts) and currently holds a 1.08 goals against average (same as league goalkeeping leader Andy Gruenebaum of Columbus Crew.) Because of Kennedy's heroics, he has been nominated for MLS Save of the Week four times this season and was named MLS Player of the Week on April 16 after the team's 1-0 victory against Toronto at BMO Field.

The Stone Houses
A small heaven on earth
On the East side of Andros, north of the cosmopolitan Chora, lies a rare and protected wetland. Covering an area of about 100 acres, it is bordered by a river which flows down from the hill sides around Vourkoti village and ends its journey at Ahla beach. In this magical place where the river meets the sea that we created ONAR.
In harmony with the natural environment
With respect to the protected park of the Ahla wetlands and inspired by Nature itself, we created a small settlement of ten traditional insular cottages spreading next to the river and the plane trees.
The harmony in design and construction of the cottages will put you in touch with nature.
The cottages of ONAR benefit from the silent beauty of Cycladic architecture and are made exclusively of natural materials: local stone, wood and river reeds. Inside, minimal furniture and details of reeds and wood in white and earthy colors are harmoniously combined. All the cottages have a sitting room, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, an open fireplace or stove and a paved courtyard sheltered by a pergola. Large windows allow the day light in, provide for coolness during summer nights and give the sense of being outdoors.
Staying in one of ONAR'S cottages, makes you part of the natural environment, and enjoying simple and genuine Greek hospitality will make your dreams come true.
Onar, always trying to be a unique experience for every visitor, chose to work with APIVITA and offer hotel amenities APIVITA, inspired by nature.
The APIVITA is the first Greek cosmetics company since 1979, inspired from the bees, the rich biodiversity of 5.500 plants and herbs and the holistic approach of Hippocrates for health and beauty. For more information please visit the site www.apivita.com

Comments about TOPEAK Aero Wedge Pack Seat Bag, Medium:
Replacing a clip-style bag on an aggressive road bike, this one holds tighter with less sway. Without expanding: slightly larger than most I see on quick club rides, with room for tube, patchkit, CO2, multi-tool, mesh inside rear cover for cell...plus a little more to stuff a few extras for longer rides. Have not yet used expanded. When cinched up tight, the zipper is under the rear lip of the seat and a little harder to get at but still okay for me. Thighs would sometimes lightly tap the front end with my set-up, so I added a 1" square of foam behind the seatpost and under the velcro strap to eliminate all contact. Just the way I want it.

I updated to 1.1.3 using the "Soft" JailBreak with BSD System v.2.0.
Previous to upgrading I installed Installer.app and set the suid bit so that it would start properly on 1.1.3. I also installed term-vt100 but since the icon was missing upon upgrade I had to reinstall it on 1.1.3.
I have the following problems:
a) I cannot ssh into the phone. Connection refused on port 22. I tried users root and mobile with the same result.
b) I cannot get a shell in term-vt100. It asks me for a password, then for a login and a password. root and mobile do not work with "alpine"
I assume that b) might be generated by a missing suid bit. However without ssh and with independence not liking 1.1.3 I do not know of a method to set it.
Thanks for your replies!

"Easy to personalize but wish there was an option to size name text. Paper quality was a little disappointing as it was thinner than expected. I thought it would have been a thicker card stock than it was. The actual printing was great though and the overall design is adorable!"
"We actually used this card as a thank you card for the Baptism gifts my son received. We used a picture of him in his gown on the front and even included a few smaller pictures on the back. Everyone loved it and the pictures made the card even more special."
"I got my invitation yesterday. I'm so excited. They really exceeded my Expectations… Beautiful... The paper quality, the printing, everything is perfect. Customer service was excellent too, they keep me updated of the process and the designer answered my questions on time. The process was really fast, I got them days before the day they offered. So, I recommend TinyPrint 100%. Thanks a lot!"
"The quality of the card is great! The pictures on the card are beautiful! Guests who received invitations called me up to tell me how beautiful they are! I was also very happy with the service of Tiny Prints, they were delivered very quickly! Thank you very much!"
"Let's face it, when someone receives an invite with a baby's picture on it, they're not even looking at anything but the baby. That said, I had several compliments on both the picture and the card! Considering the picture came from an iPhone, I was impressed. Quality (for the price!) and design were great! A perfect invite for my son's baptism. When I purchased this card, there was only one review and it was negative regarding the quality but I went for it anyway because I've always had luck with TinyPrints products. This was no different--being at the lowest price range, this is a great invite and I highly recommend it! I used a black and white picture and it pairs beautifully with the design of the card!"

Cursive writing of the word "Love" is surrounded by scribbles that form a cross. Amidst the scribbles, look closely and you will find the word "Jesus" tucked in. Print on back reads, "...neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:39
