Lunch recs during a two-day visit
My fiancee and I are travelling across the country from NYC to Seattle in early October, and stopping for about two days in Chicago.
We plan to have dinner at Frontera Grill on one night, but need advice for two lunches, and a more affordable dinner on the second night; budget is an issue.
I have been treated to a wealth of info on this site and that LTHF board, but I'm having trouble narrowing it down for a short stay: Greektown (Greek Islands, Rodity's)? What we outsiders view as more quintessential chicago fare (Jim's Original, beef sandwiches, etc)? The handful of Thai spots I have heard so much about (TAC, Sticky Rice, Spoon)? Taquierias and carnitas spots in Pilsen (numerous)?
I am tempted to ditch Greektown for cost concerns, but maybe we should experience the vibe there. PErhaps a solid cheap lunch can be had there (all I have heard of are the aforementioned sit-down places). Similarly, should we ditch Frontera, and go for the atmosphere of Pilsen and a cheaper spot?
Are the thai spots really all that, compared to what we might get in new york or seattle? I am overlooking the slavic or e. europeans scene? I hear talk of an obscure indo-chinese scene also.
I would appreciate help with this difficult question.
I would not scrub your plans for dinner at Frontera. You don't say what days of the week you're coming - Frontera is closed on Mondays, and can be incredibly crowded on Fridays and Saturdays. Several tips: go when they first open (at 5:30, I think), or go and be prepared to wait (some people say the predictions of 2-hour wait times are bogus, a way to thin the crowd, and if you agree to the wait, you may be seated earlier), or consider eating at the bar (they have several tables in the back, but you can also eat at the bar itself).
Greektown would then be a nice, inexpensive lunch option. Also, our Vietnamese neighborhood, with it's commercial heart centered on Argyle Street, is a great lunch destination. It's easily accessible on the "Red Line" L train - just get off at the Argyle stop and you're right there. There are many recs on this board for good places to have pho.
Or - go north on the Red Line, transfer at Fullerton or Belmont to the Brown Line, and get off at Western. You are now just a short walk from a great Thai place - Spoon Thai. Ask for the translated Thai menu for some unusual dishes that you won't find just everywhere.
A cheap dinner? - that would be Greektown, in my book. You could do Thai or Vietnamese if you didn't choose those for lunch. That might be a good idea - go for Italian Beef and Chicago pizza for your lunches, then an ethnic neighborhood place for dinner. Just be sure to check on whether they're BYOB or not.
Yes, what days will you be here, where are you staying, and what else do you plan to do besides eat? (not that other activities are necessary!) And you'll have a car, right?
I agree with Akatonbo that you should go to Frontera. If you had more time it would be fun to also go to the neighborhood Mexican places, but there's other stuff you want to try. Frontera is slightly cheaper at lunchtime, by the way (just to complicate your options further).
I also think one of the Thai places should be on your list. Have you looked at Erik M's website for his menu translations? (http://www.silapaahaan.com/) And perhaps you saw on LTH Dave Feldman's reports on going to TAC and Spoon recently, where he says the high points of the meals there surpassed anything at NYC Thai restaurants. If you go to Spoon, as Akatonbo suggests above, you might enjoy having a beer beforehand at the Huettenbar, 4721 N. Lincoln. Lincoln Square used to be a solidly German neighborhood, and there are still some shops, etc.
In Greektown you can hold costs down by sharing an assortment of appetizers. My favorite place is Santorini, and I would definitely recommend including the grilled octopus appetizer in what you order.
I think I would recommend skipping Vietnamese as one of the meal options for your stay, even though there are many good and inexpensive spots here. You'll surely find a lot of Vietnamese food in Seattle, and you might as well spend your time in Chicago on the food you won't see as much out there.
So perhaps for your other cheap lunch you could hit Jim's Original for a polish, and then drive over to Al's Italian Beef on Taylor Street (less than a mile away) and split a sandwich there? (Unfortunately Mario's, the Italian ice stand across from Al's, will close for the season on Sept 17.) Or maybe a combo of rib tips and hot links at one of our BBQ places? Honey One on Western south of Fullerton would be the easiest for you to get to.
enjoy your stay and we'd love to hear where you end up.
wow, thanks so much for the early tips.
Unfortunately, I think I will be arriving there on Monday midday, so Frontera could be tough, unless we do a tuesday night and leave wednesday morning. What do you think about a Frontera lunch?
Any thoughts on visiting Pilsen/Little Village? For atmosphere or food.
re: equinoise
You can do lunch at Topolobampo (Rick Bayless' other restaurant, co-located with Frontera), as well. Prices are much more reasonable than at dinner - had a memorable lunch there during the summer when we visited Chicago.
A great place for lunch in Greektown is the Artopolis Bakery, particularly if it's a nice day and you can sit in the open window watching time go by. Altho limited in menu, it's probably the most European of the Greektown establishments, which tend to be cooky-cutter Chicago-Greek in both menu and ambience (altho usually an interesting experience for the first-timer). Here's the Artopolis website:
Don't skip Greektown. Definitely try Greek Islands. The food quality is fantastic and the prices are quite reasonable. Rodity's has a few notable dishes like Spanakopita, homemade gyros (a major treat, delicious but a little greasy), egg lemon soup, navy bean soup, potato garlic spread, etc., but Greek Islands is better. Everything is great here. Free Valet Parking!
Forget the Thai restuarants since you have many in New York.
Definitely try Hot Dougs for a new spin on the Chicago Style Dog. This hot dog joint offers the tradional Chicago Dog, the Chicago Polish Sausage as well as the new generation of hot dogs...buffalo dogs, duck fat fries, elk dogs, chicken dogs, etc, etc....too many to list.
For excellent Mexican food, try Pancho Pistolas on 31st street just east of Halsted in the Bridgeport neighborhood. Great carne asada (skirt steak), fajitas, tamales, etc.
For the very best steak burrito and steak taco, try El Asadero on Montrose Avenue at Lincoln.
I totally agree that you should try some of our great eastern european places like;
LUNCH on weekends only / dinner every day:
Resi's Bier Stube on Irving Park Road will transform you to another place. It's a fantastic German Pub with tons of amazing German Beer, German Food, a great local crowd, and of course a German Syle Bier Garden. Then walk west to O'Donnonvans for a drink at a Traditional Irish Pub with a great outdoor patio. Ask for Heather or Jonnie and tell them that Alex sent you. Food is so so.
Reza's for Persian Food is great. I prefer the original location in the Andersonville neiborhood. Great food, atmosphere and neighborhood. Great lunch buffet and weekend bruch. Afterwards stop at the Hopleaf for an incredible Belgian Beer selection. Great Belgian Bar Food as well. This is one of the best pubs anywhere.
Wishbone in Greektown on west Washington for Southern, Cajun, and Mexican inspired breakfast and lunch. Great place and dirt cheap!
Ina's on west Randolph street for gourmet breakfast. Try the Heavenly Hots pancakes...my gosh are these unbelievable!
I agree with jbw that Artopolis is a very nice spot.
For Pilsen, it really depends on what you are looking for. For a big sit-down restaurant with a lot of different things on the menu, I'd recommend Nuevo Leon (18th between Laflin and Ashland). It's norteño in style, though, so it will not have the moles, etc. (typical of central and southern Mexico) that you'd find at Frontera. I like the atmosphere there very much -- lots of families, a mix of all ethnicities, maybe a table full of cops or firemen -- everyone goes to Nuevo Leon.
If the Bombon bakery across the street is open, save room for a dessert from there (e.g. mini tres leches cake).
Pilsen also has a lot of small places specializing in one particular thing, such as carnitas or birria. Here is a link to a post listing a number of possibilities:
You could maybe hit a couple of places, sharing a small order of carnitas, etc. Note though that a number of these smaller places in Pilsen are only open during the day, so this would be better as a lunch idea than a dinner plan.
If you are walking around the neighborhood in the afternoon on Tuesday, check out the excellent Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum on 19th Street west of Wood. (Free admission; closed Mondays.) The Day of the Dead exhibit will be on while you are here, and that's always worth a visit.
Returning to the Frontera idea, I think lunch at Frontera can be a lot easier than dinner. I was there once for a late lunch around 2, got seated immediately, everything was very relaxed. Bayless was walking around, as he often is, and the food was outstanding.
Re: Hot Doug's - the duck fat fries are only available on Friday and Saturday. Go early, too - they close at 4 (but not too early - they open at 10:30). Worth a trip, if you have a car. Doug is cute as a bug, and the food is great. Check it out:
Thanks alot for the help. Here's what we did:
Two tacos al pastor from the spit at Taquerias Atonolico in Little Village. Great tacos and amazing atmosphere. My fiancee also bought a cup of fruit and jicama from a cart vendor.
Italian beef with sweet peppers from Al's #1. We took it to a nearby park. Messy but delicious and piping hot for a day that turned windy.
Polish w/fries from Jim's original. Interesting locale right next to the freeway. Burned my mouth on the hot pepper; amazing deal for 2.60; my fianceed declared it best hot dog she'd ever had.
Dinner at Sticky Rice-incredible, possibly the best thai restuarant I have visited. We ordered off the "secret menu": curry with pickled vegetables, ginger and bamboo shoots, and also a wonderfully hot and oily pork and intestine dish with fried shallot, cilantro and mint. The best was the homemade sausage appetizer with chunks of galangal and lemongrass that provided an otherworldly flavor.
re: equinoise
Very cool. You guys get a double A+ for experiencing the "real" Chicago (and for reporting back). I hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable. Come back soon.
On this board I push The Red Apple so much they should be paying me a fee. This is the quintessential "Polish smorgasbord", a very special Chicago genre. (Chicago is said to have more Polish people than any city except Warsaw.) It's a vast buffet of homestyle Polish cooking, I would estimate 50-60 dishes. Turnover is fast and the food is constantly replaced by nice Polish kitchen ladies so it's hot and fresh. Price is rock-bottom---depends on day and hour but is never more than $10 pp for all you can eat and probably much more than any of us should. If you are driving it's 3123 N Milwaukee, just south of Belmont, and there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. (You can also take the Milwaukee 56 bus from the Loop corner of Madison and State.) Red Apple has another branch on N Milwaukee a block north of Devon, if that's more convenient---it's easy to hit coming or going from O'Hare if you come off the downtown-bound expressway at Nagle and turn west from the off-ramp.
Another possibility for lunch is Manny's. A large, loud New York style (but not kosher) restaurant a little south of the Loop. It's very busy at lunchtime, but by 1:30 or so the crowd has cleared out some. Excellent corned beef and pastrami and potoato pancakes, to mention of few of the things I like there.

The Reds announced their roster before Game 1 on Saturday. They are carrying 11 pitchers for the series, with fifth starter Mike Leake and Ondrusek being held out.
Ondrusek had the fourth most appearances on the Reds this season with 63 but struggled late in the year. He had a 4.76 ERA with eight walks and three homers allowed in 11 1-3 innings since Aug. 18.
Cincinnati also is going with just Ryan Hanigan and Dioner Navarro at catcher, leaving Devin Mesoraco off the roster.

These are the good times for coach Justin Edgell and Gibsonburg's wrestling program.
A year removed from winning the Ohio Wrestling League title, the Golden Bears went 17-1 in dual meets this season – a school record for dual wins - and defended their OWL tournament title on Feb. 1 at Northwood. The Bears scored 158 points to beat runner-up Van Buren by 56 points.
"We took 11 guys and all 11 placed in the top three," Edgell said. "That was not necessarily what we expected. I made the comment a month ago that I didn't anticipate having a lot of champions (at the OWL tournament). To win the league, we needed (several) guys to place third and fourth. We put five guys in the match for third and fourth, and they all took third."
Gibsonburg had three league tourney champions, starting with freshman Marcus Kreais at 170 pounds.
"He's a really hard worker," Edgell said. "There's not much else I can say about him. The kid busts his butt every single day. Mondays are kind of our walk-through days, just to get a light sweat going, and he's just full-go every day. I've seen him since seventh grade and his body has transformed. He's gotten taller and thinner and stronger and faster. He's had to work for everything he's gotten."
Junior Jacob Auld, the OWL champion at 220 pounds last season, won the 182-pound title this year.
"We moved our lineup around last year to get our best chance of winning," Edgell said. "Jacob bumped up to 220 and performed well. This year he was just coming off a concussion and did excellent. He pinned his guy in the finals in a minute. He didn't look like he lost anything after being out a week and a half to two weeks."
Senior Nick Metcalf became a two-time league champ at 195 pounds, pinning his opening-round opponent in 16 seconds. Metcalf placed sixth at districts last season.
"Nick's second opponent was the runner-up at the Van Buren Invitational and we anticipated an even match," Edgell said. "He was up 7-1 after one period and pinned him in the second period. His goal at the top of his goal sheet is to compete at the state tournament, as it should be. He went in there looking to do his job and get out and get ready for sectionals, districts and state."
Taking second for the Bears at the OWL tourney were sophomores Troy Ickes (138 pounds), A.J. Blausey (145) and Dan Henline (160). Senior Gage Collins placed third at 113 and was joined by freshman Damien Schmeltz (120), senior Austin Webb (126) and freshmen Griffin Geary (132) and Zach Kaetzel (152).
"We had four freshmen in our lineup and they all placed top three in the league," Edgell said. "The biggest surprise was at 152. Zach missed nearly the entire season with a broken arm, and this was only his second tournament back. He was unseeded and went 3-1 to earn third place."
Gibsonburg will compete at the Division III sectional tournament on Feb. 15-16 at Elmwood. The Bears took fourth last year behind Genoa, Elmwood and Woodmore.
"We would like to get five or six guys to districts, which is pretty tough," Edgell said. "Our sectional is pretty improved over the last few years. Genoa is tough and Woodmore is having a good year. There is a lot of talent; not a lot of great teams, just a lot of individual talent."

Family car to go with our SQ5?

How about straight electric?
If you live in the Pacific Gouge and Electric rate area like me, you are probably in tiered electric pricing. Maybe you have Sacto Municipal though? If you look into it, you may find you get a cheap rate in setting up an electric vehicle charger at home, including if the use bleeds over to other power you consume. A hidden benefit that can go beyond just the car depending on exactly your rate structure and options.
If I went that way, rather than the big bucks Tesla (similar to an A8 once you load it up) that are oh so the current fashion du jour mobile here in the SF Peninsula--where fashion rides change every 12-18 months--what about the Leaf or a variety of others at much cheaper price points? You say it's just a commuter car, so why pay way, way up to a luxury class big boat as long as you are w/in range comfortably for errands and work round trip recharging? Plus, as you likely know in CA, pure electrics give you access to the white carpool lane stickers for years still to come for solo driving too, and those aren't capped. Finally, a variety of public do gooder charging stations are around handing out free power to help save the planet, so why not take advantage of free or subsidized juice. Here in the Bay Area people now fight over them with more electrics being sold, especially ones like the Leaf in more volume. Often the spaces are very close in too, another source of increasing friction at ballparks and such, especially when folks don't even bother to connect the cord!
To your other theme about diesel, if you want more interesting, how about the new A3 once it hits in TDI form? Or various of the TDI VW products perhaps?

I also drove an A8 TDI prior to ordering and taking delivery of my 2014 A6 TDI prestige. The A6 has much more lower end grunt (more torque plus less weight to move around). In 18k miles of a 50/50 mix of in town bumper to bumper and hwy (at about 78-80 mph), my calculated fuel economy is 30.95 mpg. I was at Quattro de Mayo 2 weeks ago and between the TDI and the 20' sport package, I had no difficulty staying with both an S7 and a new Corvette in the twisties and straights. I'd suggest test driving an A6 or A7 TDI rather than the A8.

However, while the 2.0 TDIs aren't particularly fast, they should still have plenty of "scoot" -- and compared to the similar hybrid options, none of those will break records either. My wife still loves her 2004 Golf TDI (100hp 1.9L) and she's had insecure people in sporty cars feel the need to "beat her" to feel better about themselves after seeing how quick she moves off the line at lights. She'll lose to 60, but for getting up to typical traveling speeds it's more than sufficient and the torque can help make you feel like you're accelerating faster than you are.
Certainly worth a look, I'd say. Not sure how the current VW offerings are, especially with respect to transmission behavior (D on the Q5 will hesitate on giving you full power right away, but S has no problems with it), but TDI is a tried and true (and popular!) platform and should be easy to find models to try out. A3 of course will be hard to try out before it finally shows up next year, but the VW relatives should be a reasonable enough stand-in to see if there's any chance it'd work (or whether a VW would suffice).

Relevant ones to try in V6 TDI are A6, A7 and Q5...
it's not really the weight of the A8 vs. the A6. A6's are relative porkers in general just like Q5's, and the bigger A8 all aluminum body pulls the weight back down. Rather, there are two states of tune on existing VW/Audi/Porsche 3.0TDI's. The older one soldiers on in the Q7 and the A8 (and the Cayenne+Touareg), while the newer one with more torque and a wider curve is in the Q5, A6 and A7.
Per other threads, these in turn are on the verge of being superseded by the next generation/update of the 3.0TDI, in both a lesser and greater tune variant, Euro SQ5 TDI variant aside.

I'm in almost the exact situation as the OP. We have a 2-yr old with one along the way. We have the Q5 which fits our needs, and both me and my wife have commuter cars, mine is an '06 A3, my wife has an '04 IS300.
This is working for now, but if we ever need to have the Q5 in the shop, we would be hard pressed using one of our current cars. I've been toying with selling both, and like the OP getting an mid-size sedan.
here are my choices(in priority, and will probably buy used)
Audi A7: love the styling, but pricing is higher. I would need to get a 2013+ model as those came with the option for 3 row seating in the rear.
BMW 535(diesel or petrol): same diesel as the 335d mentioned by OP, but in a larger sedan. again pricing is high, so I would probably have to settle for the 528i or 535i used.
Audi A6: Looks very understated, maybe even a little boring but it's a solid choice. Would opt for the C7 version. price is probably the most in line, when considering what I need/want realistically.
Like MP4.2+6.0 mentioned, i also considered an electric, but I can't think of a mid-size electric that would fit my needs except the Tesla S, which would be out of my price range.
Oh, one other car that I am waiting to take a look at, is the Audi Q3. That may be an option since it will come out in a year or 2.

Let's start from the top, "MP4.2+6.0", I love your Ingolstadt picture of your Q5. I have a similar picture of my SQ5. Yup I have SMUD and I am definitely considering some of these electric options as well. California is definitely making things easier for electric car owners. While I could convince myself getting an electric car, I can't really see myself driving something like a Leaf. I guess that's where Tesla became so popular especially in the Silicon Valley. It jumped into a market that had no real competitors in an area with people with plenty of money. You ask why would spend so much and care so much about my daily commuter car, cuz in the end I'm probably going to be driving this car more than my SQ5. So wouldn't it make sense for your daily car to be something more comfortable? While my Tesla option was only an idea and probably way too pricey for me to justify for some of the same reasons you mentioned as my commuter car, I still want something I will enjoy driving. I guess that's my logic when looking at this commuter car. I'll probably go in the opposite direction when I'm hitting my midlife crisis, I'll probably get some sports car which gets 10MPG. Hahah.
As you have mentioned, the A3 TDI might be an option, plus I've also read there is also supposed to be an e-tron version of the A3 as well coming in 2015. I love how Audi gives you plenty of different engine options. Speaking of A3 TDI, I recently stumbled into our local Audi dealership and they had a 2011 Audi A3 TDI Wagon which was basically brand new. It was a model car Audi used for presentations and car shows, so it had less than 500 miles on it even though it was 3-4 years old. They said it was one-of-a-kind, which might be true for those kind of miles. The only problem was they were asking for basically brand new car prices ($32k+) for it. If I was seriously looking for a car today, I might have considered talking to them about it.
Not bad at all "NOLAessate", I didn't realize the A6 TDI gets you around 30MPG. That is a decent comparison with the 335d. I'll definitely have to take a closer look at the A6 TDI. I know I got an A6 3.0T loaner once and I definitely enjoyed that more than the A8 TDI, so I'm sure it's just the setup of the A6 versus the A8, since the A8 is more of a luxury cruising car aiming for a different market. The A7 TDI will probably be a little too expensive, but since I threw in the Tesla idea I guess that would be in the same ballpark if not cheaper.
"idale", yeah unfortunately the A3 TDI and potentially A4 TDI would be the 2.0 TDI. I guess first I'll have to determine if those cars are big enough for our needs, then at that point we'll see if that 2.0 TDI engine is enough power for my needs. I'm thinking for a daily commuter, that should be more than enough power. And if we go on road trips, we always have our SQ5 to load up. Plus like you were saying with your wife's car, it's that low-end torque that gets you accelerating for your normal daily driving. I've only heard great things about the TDI engine, so I definitely wanted to check it out at some point on an actual car I might actually consider buying (unlike the A8 TDI I test drove).

BMW 535d: Oh right, I forgot about this option. But if I go that route, then I'm looking at close to $60k which would be comparable to the A6 TDI. I'm not sure I want to spend that much.
If I'm being more realistic, I'm probably looking at something probably closer in the $40-50k range since I spent close to $60k already on the SQ5. I guess if I expand my options to used, then I have even more cars to consider. Hahah. Let's stick with the brand new car options first, otherwise we have too many cars to consider.

Tantalizing new research points to an impossible conclusion: the Reconstruction may have overlooked an original 18th-century building. More remarkable still is the possibility that it may have housed Virginia's first school for the education of black children: the Bray School.
Archaeologist Mark Kostro details the story the soil tells as his team hunts for the conclusion suggested by Professor Terry Meyers' research: the Bray School is found.
Podcast (audio): Download (12.9MB)
Harmony Hunter: Hey, welcome to the podcast. I'm Harmony Hunter. Last month we talked with Terry Meyers, an English professor at the College of William & Mary who believes he's uncovered an overlooked 18th century structure that had been one location of the colony's first school for the education of black children.
Meyers' research was so compelling that it led to an archeological investigation, and that's where my guest today comes in. Staff archeologist Mark Kostro joins us this week to pick up the story where Professor Meyers left off. Mark, thank you for being here today.
Mark Kostro: Thank you for having me.
Harmony: Well we're talking about the Bray School, and as I mentioned in the introduction, this is a school that was established for the education of black children, both free and enslaved in the colonies; a really important counterpoint to the troubling story of slavery in the 18th century Williamsburg. Tell us about the Bray School and how Professor Meyers' research has led you to actually doing some excavation.
Mark: Sure. So Terry [Meyers] did some great work in tracing down the documentary record of this school that survived in Williamsburg for 14 or 15 years on three different locations. The site that we've been investigating was the first location of that school beginning sometime around 1760 and it moved away in 1765 to a second location.
Terry has this thesis that a building that still survives today down the street on Prince George Street used to occupy the location that we've been investigating which is now the site of Brown Dormitory; it's one of William & Mary's dorms. And so he believes that, originally, that the building that was moved -- and we know that it was moved for sure -- that as part of its 18th century life was used as the Bray School.
So when we became engaged in the project our goals were two things: first, to see if that building was in fact old enough to be used as the Bray School. We're pretty confident that its 18th century, although some of the architectural investigations of that building suggest that it may not be old enough to have housed the Bray School. So it's possible that there was an earlier structure on that same lot that may have been the Bray School so we're trying to sort out which building was actually the Bray School.
And then, if there was any other material evidence to help us understand what black education consisted of in the 18th century. We know a little bit about what schools for white children were like, but we have very little understanding of what a black school would have consisted of. And so we wanted to find out if there is anything archeological that would speak to that question.
So are there artifacts, in particular, that are going tell us about what was being taught at the school, and what life was like maybe for the students who were attending the school, and maybe if any of them lived at the school. That was a big question for us to try to resolve as well. As archeologists, we don't just look for a single time period, we look for what's happening on a site before and after a particular occupation so that was also a definite part of our research goal.
Harmony: You mentioned the artifacts that you would expect to find with a school for white children. Give me some examples of some of the things you might expect to find in that sort of school.
Mark: There's been very little archeological research done on that, not just in Williamsburg, but, you know, in the literature there's very little written about it. But we surmise that things like slate pencils, writing slates, the actual tablet that people would have written on could have been some of the things that were found that we might find in a school context.
And then schools were not just used for teaching, reading and writing and arithmetic but other skills as well. So in our context, one of the things that Professor Meyer's believes was being taught at the Bray School was sewing. So we're particularly keen on finding sewing related artifacts to prove or disprove that thesis of whether sewing was part of the skill set that was being taught to students at the Bray School.
Harmony: This sounds like a really tricky site to investigate because you don't have the building there; the building has been moved. And it sounds like they're even questions still to be resolved whether the building that has been moved is even the right age to have held the school. So the building has been moved and there are also some questions about what kind of artifacts you could even hope to find or even sort of expect to find.
Mark: That's right.
Harmony: And so you're trying to reach in really delicately and extract evidence from…how long do you think the school would have been on that site?
Mark: No more than 5 years.
Harmony: Just a little five-year slice of that site's history.
Mark: That's right.
Harmony: And we think about that site being occupied both in the centuries before and the centuries after.
Mark: That's right.
Harmony: So it seems miraculous in that light that you would be able to find any kind of evidence for a specific occupation or a specific type of use?
Mark: It's very difficult. You know It's certainly a challenge but it's something that the artifacts certainly help us out because, you know, one thing that's really great about working on colonial-era sites is that the artifacts change, fashions change, fads come in and out, so we can pretty tightly date ceramics, for example, to a particular time period and they're in use for a relatively short amount of time before something new comes along and replaces them.
So we use the ceramics, not just to tell us about what people were using, but they're also an indicator of time for us. So when we find a certain concentration of ceramics that date to a particular time period for the Bray School we're going to be looking for those that are going to be in use in the 1750s and '60s perhaps. Then we know that we're kind of honing in on the area that we want to be looking at and focusing on.
Harmony: And just to make you look really good you have found stuff and you have found stuff that is very suggestive of an educational use of the site. This is probably a good time to talk about the field school.
Mark: That's right. So the site is being investigated as part of a collaborative venture between Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary. And so this is a field school that we've run every year for 29 years now, but for the last few years we've been working on college-owned property, investigating some of the college's little-known history.
And so in this case we're looking at the Bray School, that we're talking about, and so we've run a field school that lasts five weeks in the summer. And actually we run two of them back-to-back so in total we're out there for 10 weeks and we have anywhere between 10 and 15 students out there at any one time. And we're going through all those different soil layers, you know, examining each occupation, going back in time and then even beyond the Bray School, and sorting through the artifacts.
We've collected literally tens of thousands of artifacts from this site and now our challenge is to sort out which ones relate to the Bray School, and in particular what we've been focusing on are these things that may suggest an educational use. One thing that we found are pencils, slate pencils, lots of them. In fact, slate pencils in a quantity greater than any other site that I'm aware of in Williamsburg and thus far even in…for the surrounding region we have not seen sites with this density of slate pencils on them.
So that led us down a path of trying to figure out what slate pencils could be used for. Obviously they're going to be used for writing and we know that they exist on older sites. They found, not the pencil, but a slate at Jamestown, for example, in a 1607 context or 1609, something along those lines, but a very early context nevertheless so it's an ancient writing technology.
What was unknown to us is whether they were absolutely used for education or were they just used for recording in stores or that sort of thing or personal, for other personal use. The fact that we found so many in this one location in a site that we're pretty confident had a school on it even if we're not sure about which building it was. It would have been occupying the same ground. We feel pretty good that these slate pencils relate to the use of this property as a school in the 1760s.
Harmony: Tell us what a slate pencil looks like.
Mark: It's really tiny. Well, what we find are just the broken bits of it. Each of the segments that we find is about an inch long and it's very thin; about half the diameter or maybe even a third of the diameter of a pencil that you and I would use. It's very thin. It's black. Every once in a while we'll find the tip, but for the most part we're finding what we would call a mid-shaft fragment. It's just a cylinder of this black slate material. It's really not particularly exciting to see it, but what was exciting about, on this site, was the density of those fragments in close proximity to one another and clustered within a space that we're pretty sure has an educational use in the 1760s.
Harmony: To me what sounds really exciting about it is that it helps to prove the theory that Professor Meyers had on paper and from the documentary record you're able to look in the ground and find some things that help sort of shore up that theory and sort of make you think, "Hey, maybe we're on to something here, we could be finding a building or a site that tells a really important story about Williamsburg's history, about America's history.â€
Mark: That's right. When archeology is at its best is when it's done in conjunction in tandem with archival research and so Professor Meyers was doing that research already. He got, you know, very far down the road with this question of where the Bray School was, and so now we're able to jump in there and do more than just prove his theory.
We're able to enhance it and come up with our own questions to the question of what the Bray School was like. So for example, again, looking at what the curriculum of the Bray School was like and, you know, that's something that's not written down for the most part, but it does survive materially in the ground and it is something that is uniquely answered through archeology.
Harmony: It's a really fascinating story on so many fronts. We look forward to seeing how this story develops and what you're able to prove about the story of the Bray School. Mark, thank you for being here today.
Mark: Thanks for having me. It's been a lot of fun.

A Hall sensor creates a voltage related to the magnetic field around the sensor. This can be used to detect distance from a nearby magnet. Hall sensors can also be used to detect the magnetic field induced in a wire or coil.
Input: This module outputs 5v when a magnetic field (e.g. a human body) is close to the sensor, and roughly 0v when there is nothing nearby. When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can see values between 0 (no presence) and 1023 (presence detected).
Module description: An Hall Sensor is mounted on a standard TinkerKit board; on the back of the module you can find a signal amplifier, a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered and a yellow LED whose brightness depends on the values output by the module.
In the quiescent state (no sig-nificant magnetic field: B = 0), the output is one half of the supplied voltage. Once there's a magnetic field perpendicular to the sensor's surface, when there's the SOUTH side exposed, the output grows above the quiescent output voltage, when NORTH, below the quiescent output voltage.
The sensor's sensitivity is 1.3 mV/G
NB: There are exposed electrical contacts on the sensor surface – be careful to not touch the board with metallic objects, you may cause a short.
Available methods

The use of block copolymer micelles (BCMs) for the targeted delivery of chemotherapeutics has proven to be a promising approach for improving the therapeutic efficacy of pharmaceutical cancer therapy. Acceleration of the translation of BCM-based drug formulations from the fundamental stages of pre-clinical development to clinical use requires a greater understanding of the transport mechanisms that influence the fate of these nano-carrier systems at the whole body, tissue, and cellular levels. New information emerging regarding the intratumoral distribution, and tumor penetration of BCMs and other nanosystems in vivo, by non-invasive image-based assessment, has the potential to revolutionize our understanding and current approach to drug delivery in this field. This review aims to highlight these and other important advancements as well as to bring attention to the many critical questions that remain to be addressed regarding the fate of BCM-based drug formulations in vivo.

Gulbis started the day four behind Inkster and had birdies at the first, sixth and ninth. Out in 33, she was 5 under and shared the lead with Shin.
Also in the hunt at the halfway point were former top-ranked Annika Sorenstam, Gustafson and Inkster, who all made the turn at 4 under.
Gulbis, who won $450,000, gave part of the credit for her win to a back injury two months ago that forced her to take a month off and make some adjustments.
"I had to change my golf swing because of my injury," she said. "I was kind of thinking this might be a blessing in disguise."
Wie pulled her opening shot out of bounds and started with a double-bogey 6. She had bogeys at the third, sixth and seventh and a birdie at the fifth where she holed a huge putt of about 70 feet to go out in 40. The teenager then battled back with a level par second nine of 36.
"I kept my head together," Wie said. "It all came down to today and there were a couple of stupid errors out there. I just have to keep the ball in play and use my head more and be patient with myself."
Recovering from a wrist injury, Wie was pleased with the round.
"I kept my head on today. I was very proud of myself," she said.

Totally gross iPhone apps
Summary: From birth to death - with all of the icky stuff in between we wonder why you would want to have these gross iPhone apps on your phone.
7 of 8Image
iCroak tracks the "remaining useful shelf-lives of people that mean a lot or very little to you". It exhorts you to "take the guess work out of death and watch as the seconds of people's lives disappear right in front of your eyes". You can track the expiration dates of up to 10 people seeing the active countdown for each person.
If only death could be this predictable and we could calculate when we would expire using an app like this.

Full term
Full term allows you to tap a single button to track the start and end of each of your labour contractions, and Full Term will take care of the rest. The application is designed to keep track of the times, durations and frequency of the entire labour period before giving birth.
Your full labor history and contraction progress will be saved regardless of whether you restart the application during a contraction or restart the entire device. There is no need to keep this application open the whole time. You can also email your contraction history to a health care professional or for your records.
In addition, you get a handy reference that you can use to get a rule of thumb estimate of your progress through labour. You can also configure the duration you wish to keep track of based on your needs.
My iPhone would be the last thing I would want to look at during the final stages of labour!

Pop That Zit
Pop That Zit allows you to pop all of the nasty pus-filled zits on the app. Collect the most pus to earn yourself a place in the high score hall of pus fame.
Surely folks with zits are having enough fun popping real zits?

An innovative National Drug Early Warning System (NDEWS) is being developed to monitor emerging trends that will help health experts respond quickly to potential outbreaks of illicit drugs such as heroin and to identify increased use of designer synthetic compounds. The system will scan social media and Web platforms to identify new trends as well as use conventional national- and local-level data resources.
The University of Maryland's Center for Substance Abuse Research (CESAR) will receive five years of funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, to develop NDEWS.
"NDEWS will generate critically needed information about new drug trends in specific locations around the country so rapid, informed, and effective public health responses can be developed precisely where needed," said NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow. "By monitoring trends at the local level, we hope to prevent emerging drug problems from escalating or spreading to surrounding regions."
Information about designer synthetic drugs including different ways to possess and use them is rapidly spread to millions of people through the Internet and social media. Also, other drug trends may quickly change. An example is the recent increases in heroin use among many regions across the country. Conventional methods to monitor drug trends may not ask about emerging drugs, do not always provide information about the types of drugs used at the community level, and may need a year or more to collect and report information.
Currently, NIDA conducts local-level surveillance on drug use through the Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG) network. For the last 38 years, CEWG has relied on drug addiction experts to analyze data from various other sources and summarize this information in semiannual reports from sentinel sites - major metropolitan areas and some states from around the United States. NDEWS will continue to monitor drug trends in sentinel sites around the country using many of the national and local data sources that have been utilized by CEWG. To expand upon these efforts and produce an enhanced national system to reflect that new drug trends may emerge outside of sentinel sites, NDEWS will establish a virtual community - a network of addiction experts across the country who will regularly communicate with each other to:
"NDEWS promises to provide the country with critically needed real-time information about changing drug use patterns in communities across the country," said lead investigator Dr. Eric Wish of CESAR. "It will utilize social media and other innovative technologies to identify emerging drugs and trends and to quickly disseminate important findings to experts and interested citizens. This opportunity builds on CESAR's over 20 years of experience monitoring and reporting on emerging drugs."
The five-year project begins in August 2014.
For more information on the current system, CEWG, please go to: http://www.drugabuse.gov/about-nida/organization/workgroups-interest-groups-consortia/community-epidemiology-work-group-cewg.
Development of NDEWS will be funded under DA038360.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse is a component of the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIDA supports most of the world's research on the health aspects of drug abuse and addiction. The Institute carries out a large variety of programs to inform policy and improve practice.
Fact sheets on the health effects of drugs of abuse and information on NIDA research and other activities can be found on the NIDA home page at http://www.drugabuse.gov, which is now compatible with your smartphone, iPad or tablet.

JIF paving did a wonderful job they corrected a major water problem we are so relieved
last June jif paving paved my drive way i really want to commend them on a great job they are really a 5 star company ill give them 10 stars if posible
This company was very professional. The salesman was very good at explaining what needed to be done to our driveway with different options for us to do it. Done in a timely fashion.
Very resonable, pleasant to deal with. Fantastic work.
Would never recommend. My neighbor and I had to take him to court !
Very professional, great job. Sealed my driveway beautifully and was very pleasant to do buisness with. Highly recommended!
