Material and Visual Worlds collaboration grant awards from prior years
The following two projects were awarded funds in July 2013, provided by the Binghamton University Road Map through the Provost's Office and the Division of Research with the goal of encouraging faculty to develop collaborative projects that stimulate the advancement of new ideas that can build Binghamton University's expertise toward a national reputation in the area of material and visual worlds. This competitive, peer-reviewed program is providing initial support for proposed long-term programs of collaborative research that have strong potential to attract external funding.
- The Materiality and Visuality of the Pre-Modern Book: A Case Study
The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies is about to embark on a three-year initiative on the History of the Pre-modern Book. The first stage of this project requires that we undertake a series of workshops during spring 2014 for CEMERS faculty and graduate students from different departments (history, art history, music, literature and languages). We propose to purchase a fragment of a fifteenth-century Latin manuscript of Thomas of Chobham's Summa de penitentia. This material artifact would be added to the Special Collections of Bartle Library. The fragment is a portion of a popular Latin text on penance originally composed in the twelfth century by an English theologian, Thomas of Chobham. During spring semester 2014, this fragment will be the focus of an interdisciplinary workshop aimed at uncovering all the empirical information that this artifact might disclose to the modern scholar. We envision publishing a journal article, collaboratively authored, on this fragment. We also plan to host an invited talk on the study of manuscripts during the spring semester.
Principal investigators/departments: Marilynn Desmond, distinguished professor of English, general literature and rhetoric; Tina Chronopoulos, assistant professor of classical and Medieval Studies; and Ed Shepherd, director of collections, University Libraries
- Hidden Images: Revealing the Three-Dimensionality of Film Emulsion
Digital technology has expanded the way artists express their ideas, and in cinema most filmmakers today choose digital video as their medium mostly for cost and distribution reasons. Recently, Fujifilm announced its cessation of the production of most motion picture filmstrips, and many film labs have closed down in the last decade. Thus, now is a crucial time to examine the dying film medium with its many artistic values still left unexplored. Through this project, we will create a live-processed film/video installation to re-examine the 3D film material and its uniqueness by combining engineering and artistic filmmaking, an angle that is pursued by very few. The core concept of this project is to reveal the 3D quality of the film medium, an aspect often ignored when we are watching a movie, by using digital technologies and computer programming to create pseudo-3D images. The project exhibit will stimulate the audience's visual sense when the filmstrip's 3D aspect is brought to the forefront of its attention, and the audience will understand more about the film medium.
Principal investigators/departments: Tomonari Nishikawa, assistant professor of Cinema, and Peter Huang, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering

More Tangerine than Orange
By JHATX
from Austin, TX
About Me Brand Buyer
I was expecting the scent to be stronger and richer. The orange is more of a sour orange or tangerine scent. The clove is very faint. If you want something to put yourself in the holiday mood, I would look elsewhere.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

November 28, 2014
DALLAS (AP) - Texas Republicans have preserved their firm grip on the state Legislature, but lost their supermajority in the House of Representatives and couldn't knock off an incumbent Democrat in a key Senate race.
Redistricting had all but guaranteed Republicans would lose a few seats in the commanding 102-48 majority they held in the House in 2011 that allowed them to pass any bill they wanted through that chamber.
Democrats rebounded Tuesday to reduce the Republican edge to in the House to 95-55. While the GOP remains the dominant force in the Legislature, the Democrats' small gain could prove important when negotiating combustible issues such as public education funding in the 2013 session.

|My System Specs
|04 Feb 2014
If unplugging and plugging the SATA cable on the SSD makes it work, (and I hope you did that with the power off), you may have a bad SATA cable. Do you have another that you can try?

This is Grade A unadulterated horse manure. You don´t need a "resource based management system" to solve the problem, you need honest administrators that are not incentivized by a corrupt bureaucracy to strangle the system and then lie about the results.

Another day, another article telling us the truth about the lack of care, concern or even honest bureaucratic effort to change an outrageously ineffective Veteran´s Administration. There is no excuse for this --- none. #1 is right. However, notice it´s been six months that these things have been known, and no firings, accountability or solutions. Veterans suffering and dying every day.

This was a management problem and should have been fixed at the VA. A WH need not get involved of projects of that scope; informed yes, involved no.It seems both the VA´s IT and Adminstrator´s weren´t up to the task.And the references to "commerical" and "proprietary" software makes me suspect "not invented here" syndrome prevailed.

Management Plan 2007 - 2014 | Kakadu National Park
© Director of National Parks, 2007
About the Plan
The 5th Management Plan for Kakadu National Park, setting the direction for the next seven years (2007-2014) has been released. It was prepared by the Kakadu Board of Management and the Director of National Parks.
Kakadu National Park is Aboriginal land, home to one of the oldest continuous cultures in the world. It is an internationally significant World Heritage Area, jointly managed with its Aboriginal traditional owners.
Kakadu protects the entire catchment of a large tropical river, the South Alligator, with stunning wetlands, spectacular escarpment country and a remarkable array of plants and animals, especially birdlife.
The new plan looks at how to conserve those natural and cultural values, whilst protecting the interests of the park's traditional owners and providing for safe and enriching experiences for visitors. This plan focuses on developing partnerships between government, the private sector and traditional owners to provide new opportunities for visitors and new business opportunities for local Aboriginal people.
The new plan also focuses on the importance of weed control and traditional fire management to keep the country strong. Climate change and improving the resilience of our habitats and species are also key considerations.
The plan was finalised following a public consultation period in 2006, which resulted in a number of amendments.
The Plan is available free of charge from the Department of Environment and Water Resources Community Information Unit (phone 1800 803 772); Kakadu National Park (08 8938 1100) and Parks Australia, Darwin (08 8920 1300).

Four people are in custody and two more are being sought in vehicle burglaries that have occurred in Rexburg this summer, police said Tuesday.
Police said the burglaries began to increase in June. The windows of most of the vehicles were smashed, and purses and wallets were taken. The burglaries occurred in parking lots of apartment complexes.
The suspects, three minors and one adult, were taken into custody after being caught burglarizing vehicles Monday night, police said. They could be involved in vehicle burglaries in other areas. Officers are looking for two more minors in connection to the case.
Further information was not being released, as the investigation is continuing.

The Virginia football team closes out its three game homestand on Saturday as the North Carolina Tar Heels visits Scott Stadium. Dave Koehn, the Voice of the Cavaliers, sat down with CBS19's Marc Davis to go on the inside of Cavalier football.
Virginia is coming off two straight wins, and will look to remain unbeaten on the current home stretch. The Cavaliers are coming off an impressive 35-20 win over East Carolina last weekend, in which Cedric Peerman exploded for 173 yards and two touchdowns.
North Carolina enters as the 18th ranked team in the country, and holds a 5-1 record. The Tar Heels take the field without Brandon Tate, but still have solid receivers, such as Hakeem Nicks. UNC has not won in Charlottesville since 1981. Kickoff for Saturday's game is set for 3:30pm.

Yes I tried it with various hard drives and it works bus-powered.
Yes I tried it with various hard drives and it works bus-powered.
I have a MacBook Pro 17" "early 2009". I'm plugging the Uno into a Roland TD-4. It used to work until somewhere around my 10.7.3 update (now I get the drop-outs). I noticed there are supposedly several versions of the UNO. Have you tested with each version?
Thanks for looking into this,
Hi Clarevoyance,
Can you try the solo on another system? i tried the solo here and I had no problems with 10.7.3. I retested after your posts and i still have not had your result. i am wondering if it's the box? Do you have the power supply for it? Maybe try it with that.
are there updated drivers for the profire 2626? or how soon will they be available. We are experiencing a problem since update to 10.7.3.
using Garageband for recording and here is what happens.
you are able to setup to record say 4 tracks ( simple setup for church recording ). arrange to setup all for multitrack recording in GB, goes well until you pause then try to restart your recording. In that case you can only record one track at a time. This worked fine with 10.6 and the drivers we had then. What I have been able to do is now go back to just recording 2 tracks which does not address our needs but is better than nothing. in the signature are system specs.
MacBook Pro
13-inch,Late 2011
2.4 Ghz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d)
Rec Software: Garageband '11 ;Ver:6.0.5 (428.5)
Profire 2626 ( firewire connection)
Hi clmsound,
Can you try this for me?
1. Disconnect the 2626 and run uninstaller.
2. Run the 10.7.3 combo update you can get it here.
3. Run the ProFire 2626 installer from the downloads driver update page.
Let me know if that fixes the problem. I have one other fix that's possible but this is the first report i have had of this issue so this is probably the problem.
hello i'm using 10.7.3. aswel but my mac wont read my FTP at all... Also it seems that the m-audio site doesnt have any of the drivers for ftp anymore... any help please??
The bad news is that if you already updated to Mac OS X 10.7.3 and youre having problems, youre going to have to find a way to use the Combo Updater over the troubled installation.

Pub chain Wetherspoon has named its new boozer in Caerphilly after a Welsh TT hero who lived in the town. The Malcolm Uphill, which opened on Cardiff Road yesterday, celebrates the life of the first man to record a production bike 100mph TT lap – which Uphill did on a Bonneville in 1972.
The pub was set to be called the Billingsley Rose, before a call by resident John Owen appealing for the two-time TT winner to be honoured was heard by Wetherspoon.
Eddie Talbot, chairman of the Malcolm Uphill Commemorative Committee said: "If anybody was interested in motorcycle racing, he was as near as a god as you could get for a youngster.
"You would put him on a motorcycle and he would win – it didn't matter what motorcycle it was, he would win. He was totally without fear. He was quite a character around thetown, but he was a gentleman and very unassuming."
MCN reader Michael Greenhaf says it'll be a welcome new destination: "There's biker cafes in Llandovery and Aberdare, but this will be great for Caerphilly. The name has touched a lot of hearts in the area. He was very modest.
"I lived opposite him for 25 years and it was fifteen yearsbefore I knew he'd raced bikes, and only at his funeral when people arrived from places as far away as Australia I realised how well-known he'd been." Uphill died in 1999.

Government Initiatives Available To Green Businesses
Green businesses can receive some very nice incentives for going green. The Federal Government offers several different tax credits for businesses who choose sustainable energy or purchase hybrid or electric cars. Learn more about the government initiatives available to green businesses below.
Energy efficient commercial buildings that have reduced their energy consumption by at least 50 percent can receive a tax credit of up to 1.80 per square foot. Buildings that have been renovated to decrease energy use by less than 50 percent can enjoy a partial tax credit that equals 60 cents per square foot.
Businesses who successfully encourage their employees to commute or use public transit can save about 10 percent a year on payroll taxes, up to 100. Tax breaks also exist for employers who buy a company bicycle or choose to offer a financial incentive to employees who need cash to buy, maintain, or store their bicycles.
Manufacturing companies who choose to use energy efficient appliances in their companies are eligible to receive a tax credit, and green builders can get tax breaks, too. Regardless of what type of business you own, the government is interested in rewarding companies that have gone green at tax time.

Planned as an early morning evolution, the experiment's stated purpose is to pick up the Marine Corps Commandant's challenge and make it a reality, but within the context of a naval force conducting a sea-based operation in a complex and distributed battle space.
A capstone event for the ECO, this experiment features a Company Landing Team (CLT) formed around a Marine Infantry Company with an experimental table of organization. It features an array of concept-based technologies designed to lighten the load on individual Marines, improve network communications, and utilize unmanned ground technologies. These technologies will be evaluated for potential use in future Enhanced Marine Air Ground Task Force operations.
Interested media should contact 1stLt Josh Diddams, firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.Following the landing, an opportunity to observe new Marine Corps technology and speak with operators will be available.

Summary: From wearable cameras to addressing developing nations
1 of 6Image
From wearable cameras to addressing developing nations
A wearable camera is one idea to come out of the "casual capture" programme at HP's Bristol labs, which silicon.com visited this week.
There are currently no product plans for the device but the latest prototype being demonstrated here consists of a camera integrated into the centre of the glasses which can simultaneously capture 1.3 megapixel stills at 7.5 frames per second and 0.3 megapixel video footage at 30 frames per second.
The data is stored on a processing unit worn around the waist that can store three hours of footage on its two 20GB disk drives.
The camera is continuously recording footage but the user presses a button on the processing unit when something of interest happens that they want to capture. At this point the machine saves the previous 20 seconds and the next five minutes of camera footage.
Photo credit: Andy McCue
The quality of the images is surprisingly good - as seen here from footage taken using the prototype wearable camera by HP's Phil Cheatle on a family holiday climbing in the Italian Dolomites.
Cheatle said: "We wanted something that's ridiculously easy to use."
Of course there is too much raw footage for the user to process and select manually so HP developed image filtering and automatic analysis technology to do the hard work for them.
The saved footage is downloaded to a PC where sophisticated head motion detection algorithms determine which bits are most likely to be of interest to the user and whether a still, panorama or video clip is the most appropriate format.
The user can then review the edited footage and raise the "interest threshold" rating so that only highlights are selected or lower the threshold so that more footage is shown.

It may be summer break for most students in the Omaha metro. But Monday marks the start of summer school for Omaha Public Schools, and Jump Start for those who will be entering kindergarten this fall.
Fewer kindergartners are expected in classrooms across the state this coming year, due to the change in state law that requires children be five by July 31st to enter school. However, the number of students enrolled in O.P.S. Jump Start, a thousand, is an increase over last year. Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Learning, Dr. ReNae Kehrberg, attributes that to Learning Community funding.
"Kindergarten jump start is an excellent opportunity for our littlest learners to get an advantage at the beginning of the summer for the next school year," said Dr. Kehrberg. Among the many benefits she said are gaining socialization and listening skills.
Research, she said, shows early education strongly impacts children who take part and their academic success down the road. "Kindergarten jump start doesn't simply close the academic achievement gap. Early childhood programs prevent the academic achievement gap."
The biggest thing parents can make at home to make a difference, from an early age, she said, is reading. "If every parent could read, read, read to their child extensively, that probably has the biggest ability to vault a child forward because your reading skills are the foundation for everything else you do in school. "
Mother of four, Kim Grosdidier, couldn't agree more. Twin daughters Josie and Elise just wrapped up their kindergarten year. Their youngest, Ava, has one more year of preschool to go before she gets to school.
"Reading helps with every subject, math, social studies, science," Grosdidier said. "I think it's the base for everything."
She also uses flash cards to teach letters and numbers to little Ava, noting all children are different and require different approaches to learning. "The other girls like to color a lot more than her and write," she said of Ava. "With her, we're starting slowly."
Progress here in Nebraska on writing achievement, Dr. Kehrberg said, may appear to be slow. Recent assessment results showed only 63-percent of eighth graders and 62-percent of 11th graders met or surpassed the standards.
However, as the State Department of Education pointed out, this was the first time a new type of test was used. It's designed to be closer to the type of writing students would need to do in college or for work.
The previous tests, used for the past decade which current high schoolers have been geared toward, explained Dr. Kehrberg, "where you would work on a piece, revise it and then come back and have a final edit. Now, it's on demand, much like texting. You get a text, you respond to it and you're done."
Organized and computer-driven, it's changing teaching methods. Fourth graders, scheduled to take the test next year, are expected to do much better.

Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up.
The history of Jewish cooking is long. Almost as long is the history of jokes about Jewish cooking. (A bad matzo ball makes a good paperweight. Hahahahaha.)
Just about everyone—with the possible exception of Jewish food joke writers—will be glad to hear that we're in a new era of Jewish cuisine. No offense to anyone's grandmother, but several places are using well-sourced ingredients to make superior versions of brisket, babka, and of course, matzo balls.
Here they are, the great new Jewish culinary destinations. When you visit, remember this piece of classic Jewish humor: Never leave a restaurant empty-handed.
The General Muir – Atlanta, Georgia (@thegeneralmuir)
This terrific re-imagined deli features hand-rolled bagels and schmears like dill horseradish for breakfast. Later in the day, they serve poutine with the option of house-made pastrami thrown in (brilliant), and a vegetarian reuben packed with smoked beets, gruyère, Russian dressing and sauerkraut.
The restaurant is named after the ship that brought co-owner Jennifer Johnson's mother and grandparents over to the U.S. in 1949 after surviving the Holocaust.
DGS Delicatessen – Washington, D.C. (@DGSDelicatessen)
Chef Barry Koslow makes everything—everything—in house at his contemporary deli. The chef likes to think outside the proverbial box: he laces matzo balls with duck-fat serves Schmutzy Fries with pastrami, sauerkraut and Russian dressing; and makes pastrami lo mein to boot. In the true deli spirit, he serves house-made sodas as well as a serious old-fashioned egg cream.
Wise Sons – San Francisco, California (@WiseSonsDeli)
What started as a pop-up by two deli-food-starved L.A. Guys, Evan Bloom and Leo Beckerman, is now a mini chain with 3 branches around the Bay Area. The newest outpost opened last summer in the Contemporary Jewish Museum, and offers favorites like seven-hour smoked pastrami and corned beef and chocolate or cinnamon babka, plus a pretty stellar grilled cheese on challah.
They modestly say that their matzo ball soup is, "probably not as good as your Bubbie's."
Make bagels at home with this step-by-step recipe
Russ & Daughters Café – New York City (@LoxPopuli)
First things first: Russ & Daughters is one of New York's oldest and most iconic Jewish food spots. In fact, they're turning 100 this year – Happy Anniversary! And they've got a little announcement to make: This May, they'll open their first outpost, Russ & Daughters Café. Only a few blocks away from the original Lower East Side location, the café will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, and weekend brunch, too.
Fourth generation owners Nikki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper describe the menu as a "Jewish smorgasbord." Of course they'll serve the famed house smoked and cured fish; they'll also be offering cocktails which is something you couldn't get with your pickled herring and sable.
Abe Fisher – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (@diz_and_abe)
Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook (the team behind the much beloved Zahav and Federal Donuts) will be launching Abe Fisher, a formal-ish restaurant serving food from the Jewish disapora, with influence from New York, Montreal, France, and other places thrown in there too. Among the small plates will be specialties like corned pork belly with pretzel challah.
The duo will also open Dizengoff, a hummusiya, (Israeli-style hummus) spot where Solomonov will make his stellar version of the dip several times a day.
Wexler's Deli – Los Angeles (@wexlersdeli)
Opening soon. The former Mezze chef Micah Wexler will focus on, you guessed it, pastrami, at his 10-seat counter this spring in Downtown LA's Grand Central Market. Wexler promises house-made pickles and hand-ground brown mustard; he's spent months developing the perfect rye bread with Etxea Basque Bakery.
Follow Wexler's on Twitter and you can watch the progression of the pickles and brisket as they prepare to open.

Gyromouse but it doesn't have a laser pointer.
Any recommendations guys?
Looking for one that will act as a mouse as well.
Gyromouse but it doesn't have a laser pointer.
Anyone used one of these?
I went for this Targus one, laser pointer, loads of functions, tracker ball, Alt & Tab Switcher, Volume... alsorts
Like Rich we went for a Targus Wirless Presenter, find the Laser a bit faint but everything else functions well and over distance, from back of School Hall with Laptop at front. Broke the Battery clip the first time I put batteries in "clumsy" but it was a weak design, though managed to repair it with a small piece of plastic and Araldite.
Been offered a good price on one of these:
Will post my thorts once I have had a play
Many thanks for the input guys.
I've got an earlier, slightly less feature-packed version of the Targus one and I find it pretty good. Decent radio range, pretty responsive.
I think you'll like it, Sysman!
also have the targus ones.
Train your users to turn them off when they're finished though, or use rechargeables.
How do these perform in conjunction with wireless laptops? (Also 2.4GHz)
Does it interfere in anyway?
Slowness on laptops?
@Sysman: where is this 'good price' from?
Well the Targus one works like a dream, too well infact. It will control the laptop even when used 2 classrooms away.
I am going to take a look at the Trust one now as that has channels that can be manually.
But if you only need one then the Targus is great value.

How to Live Forever
Science Fiction and Philosophy
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreImmortality is a subject which has long been explored and imagined by science fiction writers. In his intriguing new study, Stephen R.L.Clark argues that the genre of science fiction writing allows investigation of philosophical questions about immortality without the constraints of academic philosophy. He reveals how fantasy accounts of issues such as resurrection, disembodied survival, reincarnation and devices or drugs for preserving life can be used as an important resource for philosophical inquiry and examines how a society of immortals might function through a reading of the vampire myth.
How to Live Forever is a compelling study which introduces students and professional philosophers to the possibilities of using science fiction in their work. It includes extensive suggestions for further reading, both fictional and philosophical, and examines the work of such major science fiction authors as Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, William Gibson, and Colin Wilson. less

GARY, Ind. (AP) - Fans of Michael Jackson are gathering in the late pop star's northern Indiana hometown of Gary for a weekend of events celebrating his life and career.
Members of the Jackson family, including matriarch Katherine Jackson, watched Thursday from the family's former Gary home as several performers honored her late son's career on what would have been his 55th birthday.
Those performances and other events are scheduled to continue through the weekend in Gary.
The Post-Tribune reports that among Thursday's crowd of well-wishers was Mary Singer of St. Petersburg, Fla. She says she loved everything about Michael Jackson and became a fan when she lived a few blocks away from the Motown recording studio in Detroit.
Jackson died June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles.

All winners will receive a $50 gift certificate and a membership or guest pass to the Health Museum. The hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

new french bistro in Lincoln
- c
- carneyvore Mar 31, 2010 04:44 PM
Has anyone been to AKA Bistro in Lincoln? Has a nice Web site and menu (also on Open Table), but no reviews or feedback yet. Have been to Cast Iron Kitchen in Maynard, and enjoyed it, but deciding whether to go back or give AKA a try.
Cast Iron Kitchen
177 Main Street, Maynard, MA 01754
re: hotoynoodle
Just want to point out that Lincoln is a lot closer than you think. One year, when I forgot to mail my taxes, I left my house in Lincoln at 11:30pm and made it to the Central Square post office at 11:45pm. Sure I may have been driving a tad fast, but it's really a lot closer than most people think!
re: sablemerle
haha, well, christian touche is from france, and i know his kids eat about anything!
re: hotoynoodle
It just sank in that "aka" is red in Japanese. Not sure why "Red Bistro".
re: sablemerle
My 9 year old loves escargot! She'll be so psyched - will have to check it out this weekend.
Hi guys,
I have been to the restaurant and have good reviews to share with you. I went and had the French items and what I had knocked me off my feet. What you probably already know is that they have some excellent chefs, so the food they are putting out is top notch. Its a small spot, so you will definitely have to make reservations (they are on open table) and they have a nice wine list. They also serve beer, but I don't think Lincoln is willing to accept liquor just yet. They will eventually offer "menus of the day" but its too early for that I guess, as the whole menu is new so they don't have to add in specials quite yet. They are also going to be doing weekend brunches. Can you imagine fresh chocolate croissants as they are made by a French chef? I can't even stand it, this place is amazing and is only going to get better. Hallelujah for Lincoln!
I'm going to write a bit more (sorry, I can't stop myself) I posted this on Yelp and feel I should share it here as well...
Being a local I was sure to be there on the first day, and succeeded :)The first impression was very nice, warm and fitting to the surroundings, the layout & atmosphere matched that of this charming little town. There is a wraparound couch on the street side with chairs as well, and on the parking lot side there is a sushi bar area with a high top table for dropping in.
I went with my boyfriend and we sat in the booth area and both opted for French items. I started with the curly endive salad with bacon and poached egg. It was incredible. An egg poached like only the French can do it. I couldn't believe how good it was, I think it must be one of the best items on the menu although quite a simple choice. He had the pate and loved it, however I'm not a pate person (I tried it and it was very good actually, but its not something I go for). I then had the mussels & frites and that was delicious but far too large of an entree. He had the coq au vin and it was divine, I must add that this was served in a crock that was so adorable you almost wanted to jump in yourself, really just the most darling thing. We had a great bottle of wine and totally enjoyed ourselves.
The prices were reasonable for what you are getting. Really an excellent value for the quality of food. I feel guilty living so close to something this good. The whole night I couldn't quite get over the fact that I was sitting in Lincoln eating this exquisite meal.
Looking forward to going back again and try some sushi. Sushi in Lincoln! Lincoln?! I just can't get over it.
re: LBNova
I can second the excellent reviews by LBNova above, as I went this week and loved it! It turned out to be a lot closer to Cambridge than I thought (as Blumie posted above) and Lincoln is easily accessible from Route 2 and via the commuter rail as well. As mentioned above it's not a huge venue, so reservations are definitely recommended,
The atmosphere there was relaxed despite being opening week and great fun with outstanding service as well (I think our server was called Dora and she couldn't have been more helpful or attentive). It really is a genuinely exciting new restaurant for the area. The way that they've managed to split the restaurant into two distinct areas for Japanese and French food was impressive and a number of tables near to us in the main restaurant were taking advantage of both types of cuisine.
As Sablemerle mentioned above, they really are keeping the menus authentic (any children that brave the snails or frogs legs should be commended, as I doubt I would have done at that age!) with steak hache alongside omakase options. It'll be interesting to see how the brunch, terrace and take-out menus look in due course and how the place develops with time, as it looks like a surefire winner at the moment already.
If you get the chance to visit, then I can't recommend the new AKA Bistro in Lincoln highly enough!
As you know if you live around these parts, our options for fine dining are rather restricted to say the least. So on paper AKA Bistro is a welcomed promise. What happens when you eat there, well, it's still promising. I'll only speak about the French side of the menu since that's what we ordered from tonight. Their French offerings are very typical, there is nothing daring on the menu. Many staples of French comfort food cooking: blanquette de veau, coq au vin, moules frites, boeuf bourguignon, steak tartare, etc. Very traditional and the recipes respect these food traditions. They are not reinventing each dish, but what we sampled was well executed.
I had a salade niçoise, which was impeccable. I admit, this one is hard to mess-up, but I'll commend them on using excellent produce to accomplish this very simple and basic dish. The whipped butter, served with our appetizer, was very good and their French rolls were quite good. I followed my appetizer with an entrée of Moules Frites. Again, the quality of the actual mussels was excellent. I didn't care much for the sweetish broth but that was a personal taste issue. It was well balanced and worked with the mussels; I, however, just like my mussel broths either on the white wine end of things or the lemony end of things. This one, as I mentioned before, was predominantly sweet. I also must say that the mussels dish was way to copious for one person. My wife had the foie gras with a Sautern gelée and the grilled lobster. She was happy with both dishes. The only true disappointment, food wise, was the fries. They were limp, looked unappealing, and tasted marginally okay.
It was opening week, so you don't expect everything to be perfect and they were certainly a few slip-ups. The kitchen set-off the fire alarm and we had to find refuge in the chilly outdoors until the firemen came and turned off the blaring alarm. It was unbearable inside the restaurant. 10 minutes later, everyone was back inside. Our waitress brought us a glass of sparkling wine to apologize. It seems odd to offer an alcoholic drink to someone who hasn't ordered any alcohol with his meal. The manager came to apologize to some tables only he did this selectively. If you are going to do this, you should really stop at every table. It's not like there are more than 15 tables in the dining room. Furthermore, the place wasn't even full. One other complaint is that the main dining room gets very loud. They need to work on controlling the acoustics of this room with some dampening materials. It was hard to carry a conversation without having to try to yell louder than the next table and the place was not even at capacity. When they served the mussels, they did not provide a dish to dispose of the shells. The plate was so overfilled; it made it difficult to scavenge through the mix of empty and to-be-eaten mussels. Solution: either serve fewer mussels with this dish, or provide a side dish to dispose of some of the empty shells.
I don't foresee this place becoming the new trendy place that will draw city folks to the suburbs, but it stands a real chance of becoming a very viable dining option in the Lincoln/Concord area. Prices were perhaps a little high on some of the more basic entree dishes. We'll be back to try the sashimi side of their menu.
While we didn't have our kids with us this evening, it was a pleasure to see the diversity of their kids' menu. Our toddler eats about anything and we usually have to order from the regular menu since we often find kids' menu options unhealthy and highly redundant.
I went last night and really had an amazing meal--I was very impressed! I only ordered from the "sushi" side of the menu and enjoyed everything immensely. Chris, the chef/owner, was just so great, making everything right before our eyes. I had had a birthday dinner at Uni(Clio)where Chris used to work and this experience last night was as great as my earlier time. Very creative and delicious! Fatty toro, hamachi, oysters--all super fresh and served with amazing and surprising flavor combinations(including a new ingredient to me-wolfberries :). I also had a wonderful rose champagne, as well as a crisp white wine that all went fantastic with the fish. I cannot wait to return! Great service too--I guess I came in after the alarm issues :)
Went for Easter Sunday brunch, but only now getting to this post.
I was impressed, and think this place has a lot of potential for the area (smack in the middle of Lincoln Center in a small strip mall with plenty of parking). I agree with kelly001 that everything was impeccable, but on the non-flashy, basic, traditional side.
The space is attractive but small and L-shaped, with the kitchen and sushi bar around the corner from the main dining room. There were several tables with umbrellas out front, which were fully occupied thanks to the warm weather. The main room has plenty of windows, but of course the view is nothing special, just the road running through Lincoln Center near the train tracks and the buildings across the street (in fact the train whistle was pretty loud!). There are not that many tables so it isn't too cramped, with a continuous bench running around the edge, so every table is a mix of bench and chair seating.
I have to say, it is pretty LOUD space. When we arrived at Noon, most of the patrons were outside and only 3 tables were occupied inside, but it was still noticeably loud. Now, we were at table #35 (more on this later!), which is a 2-top in the far corner of the dining room as far from the kitchen as we could get, so the sound from the kitchen may have been bouncing off the wall at the base of the "L" and focusing on our table, I don't know. But we could make out the conversations in the kitchen!
There were 3 choices for brunch, either 3-course ($35) or 4-course ($45) prix fixe menus. This was a one-off brunch, and apparently they won't be offering weekend brunch for a few more months. We went with the 4-course:
App: Smoked salmon with wasabi creme fraiche and micro sliced radish and greens -- a nice dish, a bit on the small side, with high-quality smoked salmon.
Salad: Here was our first encounter with first-week jitters (this was the 7th day they were open, and I gathered the first day for our excellent, friendly waiter). The menu listed a rather boring sounding endive and goat cheese salad. But another server, not our waiter, brought us two dishes of steamed whole shelled shrimp on an avocado mold with a "French" sauce. Delicious, perhaps the best dish overall, but not the salad we were supposed to get, which we only remembered after referring to the menu we had kept at our side. In fact, this was the appetizer for the 3-course brunch, and given it was surely more expensive than the correct salad, we obviously made out like bandits. But I did point the mistake out to our waiter. What had happened? Off our waiter goes to the kitchen, and because of the above mentioned "sound relection", we could hear the entire conversation to occured. Turns out he had told them to "fire 35", which they thought meant the $35 3-course as opposed to table 35 where we sat! As I said, no complaints about this mistake at our end.
Main: We had one of each of the two choices. The grilled split lobster on diced celery root with chanterelles and lobster sauce was wonderful. The rack of lamb (3 chops) served on a bed of au gratin potatoes with a grilled breaded tomato was perfectly cooked, but really lacked anything distinctive to take it beyond just well-made.
Dessert: "Easter Cake". Now in my from Ireland, Irish-Catholic heritage there isn't anything called Easter Cake, so I'm not sure what I was expecting. What we got was a small piece of cake that was a cross between a firm Christmas fruit cake with currants and cranberries and a frosted rum cake. Actually pretty tasty.
The next first-week jitters came when Christian, the French co-owner, stopped by our table and asked, "I understand from your waiter that you would like to try the Sauternes?" I guess I wasn't thinking quickly enough, so I said "Uh, sure!" Then I flagged down our waiter, who said Christian was actually getting our table confused with another. But to his credit, he still came back with a small taste (they are using Riedel or Riedel-like "O" stem-less wine glasses, which I don't generally like) of light Sauternes. Again, we seemed to be having all the mistakes going in our favor, which made up for the noise (which was also going in our direction).
Wine: We went with a nice Cote de Nuit, which went well with the lamb and wasn't bad with the lobster. Overall, a small wine list, with no recognizable producers, but it definitely seemed interesting and worth exploring. From the lecture Christian gave the table next to us on the Sauternes, I suspect he's put some thought into making creative selections. Can't say what the mark-up was not recognizing any names. But most of the bottles were in the $30-80 range, so definitely focusing on moderate prices as opposed to name dropping.
Overall, impressed with the well-crafted food, although I think they could use a bit more punch to take some of the dishes to the next level. Of course this wasn't the regular menu. Will definitely be going back to try the sushi (the sushi bar is very attractive, with an interesting weaving granite countertop abutting the kitchen and perhaps space for ~15-18).
They do need to do something about the noise level. Also, as the space filled up after one hour, the pace noticeably slowed down and we had to wait ~15 min for our check.
my boyfriend and I went there friday nite. After reading much fanfare we decided to go Lincoln and check it out. We were surprised how quickly we got there 30 minutes from backbay!! I do agree the room is loud!! we started with the "japanese side". the fish was devine , kindai toro. this is the specialty according to our menu. we then went to france for our main course. the lobster was perfectly cooked and the celeryroot under the crustacean was wonderful. my boyfriend had cocovin which was good, but not special, have had this same dish in many boston bistro. the winelist is heavy on the french side and seemed to have something for everyone. the service......well it seems our waiter was rather frazzled and when asked about specific things on the menu he stumbled and seemed like he was confused. we didn't get alot of attention and service was slow and the server seemed uneducated about the menu. i believe his name is javier and seemed to think by smiling at me, er flirting?? his lack of knowledge would go unnoticed. looks (yes, he was goodlooking) do not substitute knowledge of the menu. with that being said, i think we would give it another try and hopefully get a more "qualified" server.
re: ohnofoodie
Kindai Toro is indeed a specialty. It comes from Japanese farm raised tuna. I haven't yet tasted it. How would you compare it to wild bluefin toro? I'm reading amazing things about the kindai.

re: ohnofoodie
Coq au vin (chicken with wine).
OMG, it's got frog legs on the kids menu, I've got to go just for that! Maybe I can convince my 7 yo that they are chicken nuggets.
Thanks everyone for posting to this thread. This looks great and will have to check it out.
We (me, husband, 3 year old) went on Saturday and were very pleased. I thought the service was quite good for being a place that just opened (my big worry with going so soon), though our waiter still seemed a little green.
The bone marrow was tasty, but I prefer when it is served with salt and parsley on the side. The dish just had a little salt sprinkled over it and was served with a couple of pieces of crisp bread. Husband had hamachi to start. I'm pregnant so only tasted a little bit, but he and my daughter loved it. It was served with a pineapple sauce. I couldn't taste much of the hamachi. I had a mesclun salad (I know, boring) that even my husband raved about, and he's not a salad guy. Perfectly dressed, very tender baby greens, and just acidic enough without being sharp. It was great for an old standard.
Daughter had the mac and cheese (though was intrigued by the frog legs) - it was very good. I had the moules frites. The mussels were FANTASTIC. Perfectly plump and so tasty. I have not had mussels that were that good in a long time. I thought the broth was very good, and not sweet at all as another poster had mentioned (perhaps they tweaked it?). They did bring a bowl for my shells, but it was gigantic and awkward on the table. The fries sucked. I am very particular about fries - I like them thin and crispy. The rosemary frites at Sel de la Terre are my idea of the perfect fry (even though I always wake in the middle of the night parched from all of the salt). These fries (I wouldn't even call them frites) were like limp, fast food fries. I didn't eat them.
My husband had the duck confit, which he loved. What I loved were the potatoes that were served with it - I believe they were cooked in duck fat. Oh my god. The entree was served with a bit of the mesclun salad to cut all the richness of the confit and potatoes.
The bread they served was yummy. I don't usually eat bread and I ate two large rolls. I'm not sure where they get it from, but it was cold.
All in all, we are optimistic about this place. It could really fill a void in the area. And it's great to have a place so close that has good food where kids are welcome.

re: yumyum
Yes, should have mentioned that was the one I like.
It's Aka Bistro as in Red Bistro. Aka = Japanese for red. It is a French-Japanese fusion restaurant. I stopped by on Saturday. They are planning to open for lunch in the near future. The place looks great but it was not quite open when I went. The batteries in my camera were dead or I'd have some photos.
re: robertlf
Actually, it's French & Japanese, not French-Japanese fusion.
re: Tir_na_nOg
I stand corrected.
Question about ambiance. The fact that there is a children's menu makes me think that it is OK to bring my 9 year old (who loves both sushi and escargot), but is it really casual enough for a family outing on a Friday night? Or is it a special-occasion place that is just trying to make it OK for kids when they must be brought along? Hope that distinction makes sense...basically I'm trying to figure out if we can head out there after work/school tonight.
re: Eatin in Woostah
Not that tonight is an option according to Open Table. >sigh<
re: Eatin in Woostah
Totally fine for a family outing on a Friday night. I'd put it in the same category as Sel de la Terre.

re: MrsCheese
Thanks- that was the comparison I was hoping for!
Thumbs up from me. Shirmp Tempura (served in a light sauce) was a killer appetizer. The asparagus salad in truffle vinaigrette was a perfect salad. I didn't really like the duck breast my wife ordered, but my cod served over beans was outstanding. Finished with creme brullee, served with fruit and visibly laden with vanilla beans. The service was first rate. Christian is a wonderful host. I wish it had a little more of a bar and it's too pricey for me to go as often as I'd like, but overall it's a great place for dinner.

According to the Register-Guard, Robinson, one of the top recruits in the nation who is a two-sport star along with his twin brother, was ticketed last weekend and will be arraigned on July 30 because, according to Oregon law, "a person commits the crime of harassment if they subject another person to 'offensive physical contact.'" Police spokeswoman Melinda McLaughlin said a police report indicated Robinson wanted the 19-year-old woman to leave his residence and ultimately spanked her in the presence of her boyfriend at around 3 a.m. at his home after an apparent dispute of some sort. The 19-year-old spanking victim reportedly told Robinson to "stop it" before calling the police.

Why Reservations chose Mayfair
Grand beginnings for Georgian home
Hertford Street dates back to the Georgian period. It was built in the 1760s by Henry Holland and his father Henry, and indications are that the family lived here when it was first built.
In 1813 the house was occupied by Lord Lawrence Dundas, 1st Earl of Zetland (now known as Shetland). He was a Whig MP, Lord Lieutenant of Orkney and Shetland and created Earl of Zetland for financially assisting Queen Victoria's parents in the years before her accession to the throne.
Sir William Clay, a Liberal politician and son of prominent London merchant and ship builder George Clay moved into the house in 1841. He held the seat for Tower Hamlets for 25 years. Other prominent MPs and physicians occupied the property until the turn of the 19th Century.
It was the home of a Countess and Viscount in the early 1900s, followed by a brewer and prominent Military officers.
In the 1930s 17 Hertford Street was converted to apartments, and in the years of World War II it was used as business premises by a company manufacturing radios. Several restaurants were located here between 1950 and 1980 with names like The Balsam Restaurant, Sir Harry's Bar Restaurant, Sovereign Restaurant and Wheeler's Sovereign Restaurant.
