I've just signed on to be a part of the 2014 G40 Art Summit in Washington DC next month organized by Art Whino and hosted at their event space, Blind Whino. The show runs from September 14th - October 4th with lots of cool programming throughout the month.
I'm in the midst of finishing off the piece I have planned for the show which will be an experiment with something I've wanted to try out for a while, and this seemed like good opportunity to dive into it head first. You can keep up with the progress of the piece on my Instagram feed (@bbbriandonnelly)where I'm allowing my process to be public.
In January I've agreed to be part of a show curated by Stephanie Chefas at Platinum Cheese in San Francisco. Details are still coming on that one, but I'll try to keep this newsfeed up-to-date as the details become more concrete.
I'm also just finishing up some work that started in the winter, so there will be some new images for you to digest soon, promise.

G40 Art Summit
The event begins this Friday September 13th and will run until October 13th. Some more details are available here
Thematically the exhibition is about transformation, referencing the former church that houses the exhibition space. The piece I will be exhibiting is on a reclaimed piece of pine as part of this theme.

Wider than a Postcard
I have a couple pieces in a huge group show at Breeze Block Gallery in Portland OR, opening May 2nd. Wider than a Postcard is curated by Arrested Motion's Sven Davis and brings together a list of over 200 artists making work based on the traditional postcard format of 4x6 inches. Thematically, the exhibition is based loosely around place and belonging but also serves as a comparative survey of how artists interpret the same brief, giving a unique insight into the varying creative processes of each participant. With around 400 pieces in the show, I imagine this is going to be a wide spectrum.
The work I've produced for the show is a bit of a departure from my usual oeuvre, literally deconstructing and reassembling small pieces of my history in my hometown of St.Catharines, Ontario.
For inquiries and info please contact Paige Prendergast, firstname.lastname@example.com

Other avenues
In the meantime, against my better judgement I've signed up for Twitter (@bbbriandonnelly). I'm still not really sure that people are interested in what I have to say, but it could get interesting, and I'll probably start posting images to it and my Instagram account (bbbriandonnelly) once I get over the hurdle of documenting food, and magnetic phrases on my fridge. Of course, I can still be found on tumblr and facebook at the same old locations.

Octomom on Kids: Eight Pieces of POOP!by Free Britney at . Comments
Nadya "Octomom" Suleman shared some thoughts on her octuplets, who just turned three, on UStream this weekend. She likened raising them to fecal matter.
To be fair, she did not say they're crap overall, and believes the blessings far outweigh the negatives. Still, you may want to reconsider your word choice, Nads.
In a 30-minute nonsensical rant, Octomom lashes out for 21 minutes against her haters, whom she calls "obsessors" that "hide behind their computer screen."
She then gets into the "joy" of child-rearing ...
Recalling the conception of her octuplets, Nadya Suleman acts like she had no control in the matter and says she prayed, "Please God, don't let there be eight!"
She says she's not showing them on UStream because "I want to protect them and ... I got in trouble a little bit showing the eight in the beginning." Mmm.
About 19 minutes in, she says, "Is this easy? God no, it's not easy at all! I'm not going to be trying to don any façade and say 'Oh yeah, life is a piece of cake.'"
"It's not. It's a piece of poop ... eight pieces of poop, all day long."
Nadya then adds that the "rewards outweigh anything negative" and that "Your opinion of me and my family, it's none of my business, so lets keep it that way."
Perhaps referring to her kids as poop isn't the best way to assure that, Octo, but it looks like she's keeping her weekly UStream show going. Thank goodness.
Nous n'avons pas le droit de la juger, elle est une femme normal tous le monde a le droit dans avoir autent ,il ne faut pas la juger mais l'accepter
They weren't a miracle. They were a horrible science experiment that should never have happened.
Why are people SO MEAN? I have two sets of twins and two singletons and I know how hard just six can be! Trust me. There is a lot of poop. Everything I have ever heard her say about her children is positive. She obviously loves them. She is respectfully assertive in response to the horrible criticism she is subjected to. Her experience should have been received as a beautiful miracle. She should be commended for her strength and dedication!
Poor woman seems so scatter-brained.
If others opinions are none of her business she shouldn't be reading them then turning around and complaining about "haters hiding behind a computer screen". Just another POS that has other people raising her kids and living off of other people and support systems out there, glad you have all that time to bitch instead of spending it with your children dumbass
"In a 30-minute nonsensical rant",sums it up nicely. What a self-absorbed, spoiled 12 yr. old she is! Oh that's right, this maniac mom of 14 is close to 40! How sad for those kids that "mommy" can't or won't just grow up. At least all those years of holding her hairbrush & practicing in the mirror are finally paying off. (snort) I'm such a bitch.
She is not getting paid for that Ustream bit! It was just a speculation about the ad potential which she even admitted to Dr. Pink-sky.
Gotta love the "double transfer" story! Bitch is dumb as a box of rocks.
That, or she thinks the rest of the world is.

New University Home Page Marks Beginning of Web Optimization Project
On December 18, 2012, visitors to Sam Houston State University's website were greeted with a new home page – a home page that includes a new set of navigational headers, featuring "drop-down" menus, as well as other improvements. This date was chosen with faculty and students in mind, because it was the day after grades were posted and Fall 2012 semester activities were wrapped up.
This change was an important first step in the Web Optimization Project, a process which began in the summer of 2012. The Web Optimization Project is a broad collaborative effort involving SHSU's Division of Academic Affairs and the Division of Enrollment Management. Those divisions organized a task force to identify SHSU's current challenges in terms of the university's online presence and from a recruiting perspective.
The task force identified three basic objectives to address SHSU's overall web needs:
- Establish a high ranking for SHSU programs on search engines
- Optimize all SHSU websites to drive enrollment, beginning with online and graduate programs
- Eliminate process barriers for students who cannot physically come to campus or engage during traditional business hours
Redesign of the university's home page marked the beginning of the project's effort to meet these three objectives. The new home page has a streamlined header. While links included in the header remain accessible—we know how helpful the links in the header are to faculty and staff—the header was "de-cluttered" to make it clearer and easier to use. Handy items frequently used by faculty, staff, and students, including links to campus email, MySam, SamWeb, and Blackboard, are now contained in a new group of drop-down items called "Campus Tools."
The redesigned home page also includes a secondary navigation system that appears next to the rotating images (and story links) below the header. Other elements on the home page have also been updated in terms of appearance and behavior.
Many more improvements are now being implemented following the launch of the new home page. These changes are being completed by a new group of web content specialists hired in the second half of 2012 by the DELTA Center. Details on subsequent steps in the project are available in a presentation prepared by the task force. You can find it at the project website.
A common thread in the whole process will be collaboration and consultation between the project's web content specialists and subject matter experts in SHSU's Colleges and departments. The Colleges will still have full control and final approval of the content of their sites, but they will also benefit from the assistance and specific expertise of the project team. The team is committed to "being there" for users in every College and department.
Two Colleges – the College of Education and the College of Criminal Justice – have agreed to serve as pilots for the optimization project. Work on these Colleges serves as a model for eventual optimization of the other Colleges' sites.
An Advisory Board for the project has also been created, with representatives chosen by each College and university department. The role of the Advisory Board is to keep each College and department informed about ongoing project activities, provide the faculty/College/department perspective, and provide input on various activities, including development of guidelines for new College and department websites. Again, through the entire process, the Colleges will have the flexibility and autonomy they need—while the University's overall goals are also being met.
For more information about the Web Optimization Project, contact Elisa Crossland at 936.294.2782 or Diane McCormick at 936.294.1047.

I'm shooting fish in a barrel with total strangers. We are on the outskirts of fallen Russia in Destiny, just outside Skywatch, facing a cave off in the distance. Every five seconds or so a group of Hive enemies spawn inside and quickly get mowed down by our weapons as they stream outside. We are exploiting the loot and spawn systems in Destiny to level quickly and collect all the tasty engrams that give our characters rare weapons and armor.
I am trying to understand why in Destiny, a shooter from one of the most prestigious studios in the world, this group of players choose to spend their time harvesting digital goods instead of playing the game "proper." Since players found the exploit a week or two ago, you can consistently find people alternating gunfire and picking up loot. They are practicing the mundane art of the grind in the most efficient way possible—not exactly the most thrilling experience you could imagine.

'Dancing' cuts back to 1 show a week next season
Published On: May 15 2013 10:53:23 AM EDT
You won't have as much "Dancing With the Stars" to kick around anymore, starting next season.
ABC says it is going to air only a single, two-hour episode of the show each week.
The show will air only on Monday nights -- which means no, highlight laden, drawn-out episode before the two minutes anyone who cares about the show wants to see: who gets to move on and who goes home.
ABC didn't say how it plans to handle the weekly elimination without a second show during the week. Freeing Tuesday from DWTS means ABC will stack that night with new series, instead.

About those coder's boot camps....
A new educational institution, the coding boot camp, is quietly emerging as the vocational school for the digital age, devoted to creating software developers.
These boot camps reflect the start-up ethic: small for-profit enterprises that are fast (classes are two to four months), nimble (revising curriculum to meet industry needs) and unconcerned with SAT scores or diplomas. Most are expensive, but some accept a share of the graduates' first-year earnings or a finder's fee from employers as payment.
Of course, some might call "a share of the graduates' first-year earnings" indentured servitude, but what of that? No, I'm more concerned about the "start-up ethic," which is perhaps best shown in an annotated version of the photograph that accompanies the article: Read below the fold...

A busy day in St. Louis
I'll repeat here what I said this morning:
I should have exhaustive coverage of this, since STL > HK for local or rather continental interest, but I — and especially since the cops whacked another black kid — come away with the impression of actions that are organic, well-planned, strategic, disciplined, and in it for the long haul; it's probably a good thing the media glare isn't focused on STL right now. I care less about people parachuted in, especially professors of this or that. We'll see how it goes, and especially how it goes if the grand jury doesn't indict Darren Wilson.
So herewith a few of today's actions; looks like events at Walmart and a Steve Senger/Claire McCaskill fundraiser (ha), with a parallel event at St Louis University. I don't know enough to generalize, but I'm impressed by the general seriousness, organization, and lack of ego-flexing. Read below the fold...
The Potemkin Moment in France, 1789
If, in the French context, we mean by the "Potemkin Moment" the brief period when it became a truth universally acknowledged that the Feudal Era was so over -- that is, feudal social relations had come to an end -- July 1789 seems to be that moment (and hat tip, the Revolutions podcast 3.12, for making me see this). The Potemkin Moment was The Great Fear:omc
Between June and the beginning of August there were riots in the countryside. Peasants burned their nobles' chateaux, monasteries and buildings which housed public records. They particularly targeted documents which contained records of their feudal obligations. It was called "The Great Fear" and spread quickly throughout France.
Another source (I'm trying to make up for the lack of scholarly cites with volume):
The main targets of the subsequent uprisings were the seigneurs, to whom the peasants were obliged to pay feudal dues and the corvee. The chateaux (grand homes) of the seigneurial nobility were attacked and looted (wine cellars were often the first target). Written records of names, debts and seigneurial obligations were keenly sought and quickly burnt. Sometimes the nobles themselves were held captive and, under threat, forced to renounce their rights over the peasants on the estate. The uprisings began in the south-west of France but quickly spread, reaching their peak in the last week of July. The response of the newly empowered National Assembly was to dissolve most vestiges of feudalism during its famous night-sitting of August 4. The Great Fear fizzled out a few days later, although sporadic peasant uprisings would continue throughout the revolution.
And there are more examples in Kropotkin's The Great French Revolution 1789-1793. Read below the fold...

A parallel take on "The Potemkin Moment" using even fancier words
("The Potemkin Moment"[1].) From an article by Steve Denning Forbes, of all places, on "vampire talent" and rental extraction:
We are thus about to witness a vast societal drama play out. That's because we have reached that key theatrical moment, which Aristotle famously called "anagnorisis" or "recognition." This is the moment in a drama when ignorance shifts to knowledge. Just as King Lear in Shakespeare's play eventually recognized that his apparently virtuous daughters, Goneril and Regan, were a rather bad lot, and that his apparently disrespectful daughter, Cordelia, truly loved him, so society is learning that much of 'the talent' it thought was adding value have in fact been extracting value for themselves.
As usual with anagnorisis and the shock of recognition at a disturbing, previously-hidden truth, there is a disquieting sense that the accepted coordinates of knowledge have somehow gone awry and the universe has come out of whack. This can lead to denial and a delay in action, even though the facts are staring us in the face.
If the recognition of our error comes too late, as in Shakespeare's Lear, the result will be terrible tragedy. If the recognition comes soon enough, the drama can still have a happy ending. We are about to find out in our case which it is to be.
Anagnorisis = The Potemkin Moment. Read below the fold...
ObamaCare Clusterfuck: Covered California gives no-bid contracts to cronies
Corrente readers could see this coming in May 2013: "California exchange spending and contractors exempted from open records law". I'm sure there are plenty of rationalizations for exemptions like that, but it's hard to think of any good reasons. And so we come to today's story from AP:
AP Exclusive: California gives no-bid health pacts
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- California's health insurance exchange has awarded $184 million in contracts without the competitive bidding and oversight that is standard practice across state government, including deals that sent millions of dollars to a firm whose employees have long-standing ties to the agency's executive director. ...
Several of those contracts worth a total of $4.2 million went to a consulting firm, The Tori Group, whose founder has strong professional ties to agency Executive Director Peter Lee, while others were awarded to a subsidiary of a health care company he once headed.
Awarding no-bid contracts is unusual in state government, where rules promote "open and fair competition" to give taxpayers the best deal and avoid ethical conflicts. The practice is generally reserved for emergencies or when no known competition exists. ...
The agency confirmed some no-bid contracts were awarded to people with previous professional ties to Lee, but emphasized Covered California was under pressure to move fast and needed specialized skills.
What a steaming load of crap. They had four years to build the system,[1] and "specialized skills" are always a rationalization for cronyism. I mean, come on. The bidding process is meant to find out if the needed skills really are all that specialized! Read below the fold...
Democratic apparatchiks turn Jack Trammell into just another third-way, "Grand Bargain" loser
You remember the Trammmel (D) vs Brat (R) race, right? Brat, a conservative, took down House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia's 7th district -- from the right. In a stroke of fate, both Brat and Trammell were professors at Randolph-Macon College, setting up the possibility of a race where sharp distinctions could have been draw between both parties, even with a debate between the two at their own college! Well, that potentially useful bit of political theatre happened, and this is the result. This is just sad:
Brat, Trammell support raising retirement age to preserve Social Security
Dave Brat, the Republican candidate running for Eric Cantor's former seat in the 7th Congressional District, and his Democratic opponent, Jack Trammell, don't agree on much. But both propose raising the retirement age to ensure Social Security payouts for future generations.
Trammell said he would consider increasing the eligibility age by two years, "but that decision would need to be weighed against changes to other programs to be certain there are no gaps. There are many moving parts to these programs."
Brat has proposed increasing the age by five years, but he said this measure alone won't solve the problem of what he called an underfunded program.
While Trammell acknowledged that changes are needed to protect payouts of Social Security benefits for coming generations, he accused Brat of "promoting the illusion" that the program is in severe financial trouble.
"This is just not reality," he said. "The truth is, Social Security has paid its benefits in full and on time for 76 years. It is a strong and effective retirement program that provides millions of Americans some financial security."
Social Security, Trammell said, is projected "to deliver full guaranteed benefits through 2033 and with modest changes the program can meet its obligations indefinitely."
So, it boils down to this: Read below the fold...

Outstanding Chinese (Cantonese) BBQ houses in Manhattan (long)
- agraham Dec 21, 2006 03:48 PM
Okay, I admit I've only lived in NYC for a year and a half, but I just can't find the same type of Cantonese BBQ here that I grew up with in Toronto. In Cantonese, I believe these restaurants are referred to as "siek SUE-yeh" -- meaning "late-night BBQ"; the type of place you can go for a quick, cheap, informal meal that -- depending on whether or not you order from the BBQ counter -- is served within seconds, at any time of day or night.
I refer to Toronto's Cantonese BBQ scene as it's my gold-standard for this cuisine. There are a number of dishes that are readily available here but I don't consider of the same quality or flavour as I have found at home. I've experienced BBQ houses in HK and Guangzhou, I find Toronto comparable, sometimes even better. I'm not sure why.
Soy-chicken (SIeu-guy) at home is juicy, tender, not too salty, and is served with a side of that amazing green onion/ginger/vinegar garnish. Here, it is tough and the chickens are just too big, so an order ends up being only one or two pieces, as opposed to a smaller half-bird. And nobody seems to know what I'm talking about when I ask for the onion/ginger garnish.
BBQ pork (cha-sieu) here is overcooked, not fatty enough and TOO DAMNED RED. It's like every restaurant goes crazy with the red food dye. As far as I'm concerned, cha-sieu should be deep reddish BROWN, and should be served straight from the tub of this reddish brown sauce, with the occasional one hanging in the window, still dripping. I'm not sure what gives the sauce its dark hue, it looks to be a mollases or brown-sugar type of addition (the sauce, however, has only the slightest hint of sweet).
Roast suckling pig (yuu-juu, I think) is, I admit, a rare item that is only served for special occasions (or if you order in advance), but I haven't found a place for it yet. There are a number of places in Toronto that -- if they're having a busy lunch-hour -- will come around with plates of yuu-juu, offering it as a 'special'.
You can find regular roast pig (sieu-yhok, I think) easily, but I'd like to find a place with high enough turnover that you can order from a dried-out pig that hasn't been hanging in the window all day.
And don't get me started on green-vegetables (choi). I ordered "shun-yeong gai lan" (Chinese broccoli with garlic) and the waiter brought me a plate of freaking BROCCOLI with garlic. I asked him "don't you have any gai-lan?" to which he replied "oh, you have to go to Chinatown to get that". Admittedly, I was in Chelsea at the time.
So, I guess I'm asking this: can someone recommend a Cantonese BBQ restaurant in Manhattan with:
- a good selection of fresh, window-hung BBQ;
- good broth for noodle-in-soup (tong mien);
- a choice of Chinese greens (dau-mieu/gai-lan/choi-sum)
- an authentic Hong Kong BBQ house feel
I know it's out there, I just haven't found it yet. Suggestions?
Thanks, Hounds!
re: kare_raisu
Thanks for the kind words, I'm flattered!
From what I've learned (not being Chinese but having lots of Chinese friends), BBQ houses are viewed as kind of like after-the-bar-and-club food, open late (or even 24 hours). In HK, you and your buddies look at each other at the end of the night and say "siek SUE-yeh!" and everyone nods their heads madly in agreement and tears off to their favourite BBQ house, which always have large communal tables so you can go with 10 people and easily get a table without waiting.
kenito799's reply is intersting, as noodle houses usually specialize in noodles, BBQ houses in, well, BBQ. It sounds painfully obvious, but usually you can't have the best of both worlds in one restaurant. I was reading some of the 'best noodle' postings, I'm curious if some of these places with house-made noodles serve great BBQ too.
Broth is a big factor. Some people don't go to a particular restaurant simply because they don't like their broth. Broth is a tricky balance, as you have to keep it steaming all day. If you don't add enough water throughout the day it gets too salty, if you add too much it's like dishwater, and if you don't skim enough it gets too fatty (or if you skim too much you lose flavour). And time of day is important, because by the end of the day it's been worked on for hours and hours and is probably at its tastiest and richest state (which is how I like it). A good noodle house can keep their broth consistent throughout the day, but that means that either one guy has to work it for the entire shift, or everyone who mans the 'tong-station' has to work the soup the same way.
Damn, I'm hungry now.
re: agraham
it's just called noodletown--it's not a noodle restaurant. I don't know why it is called that. it is open till 4am, as are many spots in Chinatown and Flushing. You might find the late night BBQ you seek by seeing what's open at 3am some night on a walk through Chinatown. I have been to various Cantonese restaurants in Flushing and Manhattan with Cantonese-heritage friends but I don't know enough about the scene to know which place will most closely match the Hong Kong-via-Canada style you are looking for.
Styles of Chinese food and restaurants adapt to the communities they arise in...the Cantonese places in Toronto may very well represent a style that was developed there by people who came from southern China or Hong Kong 100 years ago, or 50, or 10. The Cantonese population of Manhattan Chinatown has been established for over 100 years. Recent immigrants to Chinatown have tended to be from Fujian. In Flushing, there are lots of people from Taiwan as well as other parts of China. The most authentic Chinese places in Flushing, serving recent immigrants food in non-English speaking settings, don't serve Cantonese BBQ as you describe it...check out some of the Outer Borough threads on the amazing Chinese food experiences out there.
I can't recall the names of most places I've been (I know, if I want to be a chowhound I have to start keeping track), but I've been to a few in Chinatown and Chinatown-East (the non-touristy Chinatown), Soho, LES and of course that one in Chelsea.
Is NY Noodletown a BBQ as well as a noodlehouse?
re: agraham
yes, they have stuff in the window. give the baby pig a try. Crunchy skin. the wontons in soup are also good. They definitely have dao miu (spelling? the chinese vegetable), chinese broccoli, etc.
re: kenito799
Yeah, I'm seeing some other posts highly recommending it.
I've become somewhat obsessed with the quality of shrimp wonton, the shrimp have to have that fresh, ever-so-slight *crunch* to them when you take the first bite. That means the shrimp were cooked properly.
re: agraham
I like the shrimp wontons at Noodletown, and they may conform to your description. Get some shrimp wonton soup and see what you think of it.
re: agraham
Here's a discussion of Hong Kong-style wonton on the San Francisco board, if that helps folks to understand what you're looking for.
re: kenito799
dou-miao, or pea shoots, is the word.
re: bigjeff
Yeah, dow-mieu is the shiznit when it comes to greens. Insanely overpriced in restaurants, though. I don't know how 50 cents worth of greens can be sold for $8.99. If you want to keep the price down, try ordering choi-sam, which is sort of like gai-lan, only a bit more leafy. It's usually half the price of dow-mieu, for some reason.
I also stay away from oyster sauce, and order it SHUN-yeung, which is simply tossed with oil and (sometimes LOTS of) garlic.
re: agraham
My guess is that the price differential is at least partly in the preparation of the pea leaves. Ideally you'd cull the vegetable by hand, getting rid of the stringy little threads and hard stems. Mrs. Chandavkl fusses when she does that at home.
re: agraham
hilarious, and true. I got ripped off at big wong once, I think $13.95 for a platter; it might have been out of season and at least, it was all tender parts so sure, you have to pick through it. but love that choi-sam for sure. Mooncake Foods on Watts St. has a very salty, flavorful preparation, but excellent. when it comes to greens, its either plain garlic, or with fermented bean paste, sometimes called fu-zhu, I think.
re: censorone
Big Wing Wong is also where my family (we are Cantonese) go for the stuff you're looking for. It's cheap and the cha-sieu is great.
I don't know if there are any places in NYC as fine as those you long for in Hong Kong, but I've seen quite a few places with pork etc hanging in the window. I've never tried any of them.
On Bayard St: Noodletown, New Big Wang, and Hsin Wong.
Hoy Wong on Mott near Canal
There is (or was) a place on Henry St near Elizabeth.
213 Grand on Grand St, and OK 218 across the street.
Kim Tuong 83 Chrystie
The NY Times did an article on Chinese barbecue (but not like you described)
re: Brian S
Im not sue if it's Big Wing Wong or Hoy Wong, but there is a bbq place on Mott between Canal and Broadway (closer to Canal) that's half-basement level that has pretty good BBQ pork. You need to tell them that you don't want a piece that's too lean. Apparently, a couple of my friends (who grew up in Chinatown) say that's where the Chinese go to all the time for BBQ pork(not NY Noodletown). Don't think it's a late night joint, though. New York's Chinatown closes quite early compared to Toronto's. Loved going to Swatow at 1 AM.
re: Miss Needle
how can you go between canal and broadway when they intersect? any clearer address than that? corner of mott and canal perhaps?
re: bigjeff
Maybe she means East Broadway.
re: designerboy01
Sounds like Hoy Wong. You go down a few steps, and it is close to Canal.
re: Brian S
My bad -- I meant Canal and BAYARD.
Golden Gate Supermarket is pretty decent. On canal street for roast pork, duck and roast pig, and assortments of tea eggs, duck wings, tounge, liver, and they use to have sausages which I should put bk the roack on my list to eat again if they have it. This is my favorite place. They use dried orange peel in their sauce and it does give a unique kick. They even sell capon over the holidays but you have to pre-order if you want a big chicken.
If you want the small roast pig you have to pre-order. Kam Man or Golden Gate may do it. I know you can order one at the chinese restaurant next to McDonalds on Canal Street.
Bo Ky has some Tsu Cheow chicken/duck cooked in Master Sauce.
The chicken is sometimes too raw for my taste and I tend to bring it back home to cook a little more.
The restaurant on the corner of Elizabeth and Bayard has a steamed duck that isn't bad.
Big Wong does have good roast pork and they do their bbq well. The have boiled chicken but you have to ask for it because its not always there.
re: designerboy01
I also agree that Big Wing Wong does it the best, in all three (jook)congee, (fun) soup noodles, and (meen) fried or stir fried lo mein categories. It's not a late night snack place but from what I remember the crew there is the original Big Wong folks before ownership changed hands.
I would avoid Noodle Town, their broth contains too much salt. The noodles and wontons contain too much baking powder resulting in an Ajax related smell.
Yummy Noodles on Bowery/Chinatown Arcade is a reliable late night spot for just the kind of food you're talking about. It's not stellar, but it does some things well and is crowded late at night with young Chinese. I was there at 11pm last night having roast pork noodle soup.
It sounds to me like you've been trying to get real Chinese food out of some random American Chinese places. There are very few Chinese restaurants outside of the various Chinatowns that are worth a visit.
i have no idea about the atmosphere but you could try:
ny noodletown on bowery as mentioned
218 grand on grand st
the large food court/meat/fish market on elizabeth st
the place across the street from 218 grand, whose name unfortunately escapes me at the moment
or just go to chinatown and wander around. follow your nose, and other patrons.
oh, and you shouldn't have any trouble getting the amazing green relish at an authentic place.
yummy noodle house is awesome for bo zai fan (clay pot), rest of their food is good, but its the only place i've found in ctown that serves a respectable bo zai fan. they also have tong yuen which is a dessert dish that is awesome (like glutonious dumplings filled with sesame paste)
I still like East Corner Wonton, after trying many of the other choices. It's not as overall good as NY Noodletown as far as dishes that move beyond bbq noodlehouse fare, but for noodle soup with excellent shrimp/pork wontons and bbq meats on rice it's my favorite. The chicken is served with the ginger & scallion sauce described above, and the pork is drizzled with pan drippings. The soup broth isn't as salty as NY Noodletown, either.
East Broadway and Market St., just southwest of the Manhattan Bridge.
There is a new BBQ restaurant that just opened up. Its on Catherine Street between East Broadway and Bowery/Division Street.
I like Hsin Wong -- the char sieu is definitely somewhat red though. I've generally found that taste in char sieu is very personalized... I've eaten tons of the stuff, including great char shieu my grandparents have made and different kinds we've bought from places across Chinatown and NJ places. But even within my family everyone has a different opinion as to the best char sieu. In any event, I like Hsin Wong's. I think we also used to pick up some from the supermarket called Duk Cheung though. I remember it being quite good, and there's a big selection there. I haven't been back to Duk Cheung in a long time though.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Montgomery County judge was reprimanded after refusing to step away from cases involving attorneys who had a dispute with his wife.
According to The Leaf-Chronicle, Kimberly Turner, Melissa King and Brian Hill are former employees of Carrie Gasaway.
In a letter to Judge John Gasaway III, the attorneys asked him to recuse himself from their cases because of their disputes with Carrie Gasaway. That includes Turner filing a harassment charge against her.
Judge Gasaway held no hearing on the matter. Instead, he published an order on the Montgomery County Court website denying the request. In the order, he also claimed the attorneys filed their request to defame his reputation and that of his wife.
The Board of Judicial Conduct reprimanded him for violating the judicial code of conduct.

As one of several preemptive measures Home Depot is taking in preparation for 2013 hurricane activity, the company is launching a single-day effort to prepare residents in storm-prone regions.
On July 27, Home Depot will host free Hurricane Preparedness Workshops at more than 700 of its stores from the Gulf Coast to New England to prepare customers for hurricane season, which is once again predicted to be above average.
Workshop leaders will cover critical hurricane readiness topics, such as storm prep projects, generator safety, sizing generators for specific home or business needs and assembling disaster preparedness kits.
"Just as The Home Depot pre-plans and prepares for disasters of all types, we want to help our customers ready their homes and businesses for hurricanes," said Marvin Ellison, executive vice president – U.S. Stores. "We play a critical role in the disaster response infrastructure before and after storms, and we have expanded that focus to more stores and facilities in our Northern Division."
In addition to moving workshops farther north this year, Home Depot has expanded its hurricane operating plan and has enhanced its supply chain readiness in northern facilities, including a new rail-connected distribution depot serving Long Island, Queens and Brooklyn, N.Y.
The company also opened a unique satellite storm recovery location in Seaside Heights, N.J., for post-Sandy recovery.

Whenever two type-A personalities combine in a marriage, as well as in a ministry, the results can often be catastrophic. Most ministry couples will tell you it's far too easy for a couple serving together in ministry to allow their passion and drive to blur the lines between building a church and raising a family.
As pastors of Celebration Church, a church we planted together nearly 13 years ago in Austin, Texas, there's one thing my wife, Lori, and I know for sure: You cannot fake a great marriage!
We affirm people when we treat them with dignity, knowing that they matter to God. If you want to stand out in your leadership, one secret puts you head and shoulders above everybody else—be an encourager.
Encouragement is very difficult to find today. The Bible says, "Encourage each other and build each other up."
In America, we live in a very negative culture. Most people get far more jeers than cheers, far more pokes than strokes. We live in a society where the No. 1 form of humor is put-downs. People are put down, criticized, maligned.
For some time now, the ministry of Heal Your Servant has worked with ministers, their wives, elders, congregants and participants in a myriad of infidelity situations.
We have seen and heard multiple stories. Finding your way through spiritual landmines is seldom easy. We all desire to see God glorified in the midst of life's most challenging situations.
I am continually asked, "What is the ideal way to navigate these situations in order to minimize casualties and bring about true healing and restoration?"
My wife Tammy and I first met while she and her family were missionaries in Germany. I later proposed to her in a little café just outside of Hamburg. Now 27 years later, we've been in full-time ministry together the entire time and have five kids. We've lived life—and ministry—together.
Just like any other married couple, we've had our ups and downs. But I can honestly say that other than my relationship with Jesus, my relationship with my wife continues to be the best part of my life. When others ask for our "secret sauce," I give the credit to God, to Tammy and to the principles our parents taught and modeled in front of us. Amidst the many demands of ministry and family life, over the years five principles have become especially important in sustaining our relationship. On the next few pages, I share them, prayerfully hoping that these insights can help you make your marriage ministry-proof.
Many years ago I prayed a prayer that has changed me more than any other. It changed my vocation, location, orientation and just about every other "ation" in my life. What was the prayer?
"God, I don't ask you for much today. I just ask that You give me Your heart for lost people."

Windows 7 Reinstall Help Can't Even Boot Computer
Hello all. I have a dell xps 8100 computer. I recently yesterday got a message that i found out is a virus. Its the one with the FBI page where it ask you to pay 200 dollars to unlock your computer. Well that page kept being there so then i system restore it and well that page isn't there anymore.
However... right now i cannot access my computer in regular mode. Only thing is safe mode. The other thing is i wanted to clean and reinstall my computer for a while but never did it.
However... I want to wipe out everything on hard drive. I see that page where it shows it here on the forum.... however... i cannot even access that page. I keep getting the message
clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot while on safe mode. Then right now... after closing and opening my computer multiple times... i get an error message and my comptuer can't even boot at all. Even when i put in my windows 7 cd in to reinstall and just forget about wiping it out... I cannot do this.
Can someone please help me?

Depending on your computer make and model, to get to the BIOS you usually have to press a function key. Common keys are F1,F2,F9,F10,F11,F12, and Delete. Then when you are in your BIOS, set your boot priority to the CD/DVD Drive.
