Marguerite Tonight!
Tonight in continuing programming for the PEN festival Marguerite Abouet will be
at the Instituto Cervantes New York at 211-215 East 49th St. from 6-7:30 p.m. with other contemporary African authors. To quote the PEN website: "Americans' exposure to Africa is mostly through press coverage focused on current events, with a bias toward the sensational and tragic. This discussion will offer a glimpse into the richness of the literary voices from Africa: these writers will talk about their work, the traditions they draw on, their styles and literary choices, and their tremendously diverse accomplishments."
Another worthwhile event co-sponsored by
Words Without Borders
, the online magazine for international literature--a partner in The Center for Literary Translation at Columbia University. The site is worth visiting by the comics enthusiast not only for an
but many other
as well.

For those of you who don't know her, Lynda Barry is sort of the proto-Alexa Kitchen. she's been doing comics for a few years now and she also has a book about how hard it is to make comics. Part of this book will be available as Lynda's Free Comic Book Day Comic which is available at participating comic book shops on that there Free Comic Book Day which I'm pretty sure is planned to coincide with the

author in NYC
Well, it seems that Marguerite Abouet is making a rare appearance here in North America . She's speaking
Neil Gaiman
on a panel moderated by
Sean Wilsey
at the
PEN festival
in New York City. The discussion starts at 6pm at 37 Arts, 450 West 37th St. It is a ticketed event ($15/$10 PEN Members). The authors will be discussing "truth, imagination, and all things graphic." I'd personally like to see this because I think it's an oddly appropriate grouping of authors and the discussion is likely to focus more on the formal aspects of Marguerite's work such as recasting small town African living as a Hollywood-style evening soap opera.
Also, on Friday, Marguerite will be appearing on the
"Words Without Borders: Every Day in Africa" panel
. I'll provide more info on that one tomorrow.

Gabrielle Bell thinks I'm a blowhard
And she would be correct. Also, Gabrielle is up for an Eisner this year for Best Short Story for her story "Felix" and my inside sources say she is a shoe-in (please vote for Gabrielle) because a) her story is about a young girl who dreams of meeting Spider-man and does, b) Alexa Kitchen is not nominated in this category, and c)"Felix" is a really good story. Okay, now her story isn't about Spider-man or comics collecting but it still deserves to win. And a special note to Alexa if she is "ego-searching": You, Moomin--MOOMIN!
I feel feverish.

An excuse to mention the next volume of Moomin
Moomin Volume One
is up for a couple of Eisners this year--Best Publication for a Younger Audience and Best Archival Collection/Project/Strips. It seems like it doesn't stand a chance against the Peanuts juggernaut but I feel pretty good about it trouncing Alexa Kitchen. As editor of said series, I promise if
wins I will give an excruciatingly long speech where I tear things up and tell everyone what-is-wrong-with-the-industry. Or I will give a mumbled "thanks." It could go either way. But really this is about a preview for the cover of the next volume and a way to bump the now obsolete APE news out of the top of the blog (although if you want to take this as me lobbying for the award, then you may.)

Porcellino news
By "any day now" Tom means that
King-Cat Classix
is set to be on sale in stores for May 1st, and is now available on D+Q's website. Library Journal gave this new collection from John Porcellino a
starred review
in its Xpress Reviews:
"This weighty collection gathers the best of the first 50 issues of
with selections of ephemera (reproductions of letters, essay, reviews, and stories) that make each issue singular. While not exhaustive,
King-Cat Classix
manages to display the gradual evolution of an artist, from early punk rock scratchings and disjointed ramblings through the reserved simplicity of Porcellino's later drawings. Readers will grasp the development of both a man and the practitioner of a craft... [it is] a comprehensive introduction to the work of a great living artist as well as a tribute to the foundational efforts of an icon... Highly recommended."
King-Cat Classix
will be debuting at this year's Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco, April 21st - 22nd!

Some reflections on Gasoline Alley
Eddie Campbell
has long been one of my personal favorite cartoonists in the modern graphic novel era and he has some
very sharp things
to say about one of my personal favorite cartoonists from the golden era of strips (is that when it was?). You may have seen this already on The Comics Reporter or while frequenting Eddie's site but since it's GA news I figured being redundant wasn't a big deal. And thanks to

New paperback edition available!
The softcover edition of
has just arrived in the office and it'll be in stores in the next couple of weeks. It's priced to move at $14.95us. "Why a softcover?" you say. "You usually only do hardcovers these days," you say. Well that's true but since the hardcover edition was D+Q's bestselling title in a first printing, and landed on several "best of" lists, we decided to take the advice of several leading booksellers and offer a cheaper edition.
We are also delighted to announce that Guy Delisle will be a special guest at this year's San Diego Comic Con, where last year
was our third bestselling book (after books by con-guests Adrian Tomine and Yoshihiro Tatsumi.) Guy is also hard at work on his third travelogue for D+Q which will chronicle a year he spent in Burma. When Guy visited the D+Q offices last summer he filled us in on some of the atrocities he saw. The Burma book is due out in fall 2008.

It's hardly surprising that airlines are looking at innovative ways to increase cabin seat count when each extra economy class seat generates approximately USD1 million in additional revenue over a ten-year period. But, as is the way with many things, 'size matters' and in aircraft seating this means that seat width is an increasingly important factor.
Having sat in many of the seats on display at this year's Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) it became apparent that the 'perceived versus physical' seat-pitches claimed by the exhibitors vary widely with some even falling into the realm of 'Apples versus Oranges' comparisons.
Several airlines (including Air France, Delta and Lufthansa) have introduced seats with slimmer back rests which have been pitched closer together allowing extra seat rows to be installed. As Lufthansa's marketing material for the Recaro SL3510 seat says, "Lufthansa will thus offer an additional 2,000 or so seats on its short and medium-haul fleet – equivalent to the capacity of twelve new Airbus A320s."
In parallel it's been claimed that these new slim seats provide greater legroom than their actual physical pitch would have traditionally provided. Lufthansa says, "the Recaro seat with its slim backrest and an optimised, ergonomic shape will give passengers an extra 4 cm of room at knee level alone." – which happily for the passenger has been borne out in practice as a recent Lufthansa flight attested.
The unveiling of the new PF2000 economy class seat at this year's AIX was accompanied by some bold claims from design and manufacturing collaboration partners Magna International, Design Q and Pitch Aircraft Seating. Pitch's Stewart Cordner says, "in our market analysis passengers much prefer to have their private space protected by a non-reclining seat rather than have a little more legroom".
The PF2000 features a fixed recline with a modular "back pack" giving airlines a choice of specification options from integrated IFE solutions to high level magazine storage. Pitch claim that when installed at a 28-inch pitch their seat provides a 29.5-inch pitch 'feel'. Cordner says, "everything is modeled on the average person" and acknowledges that whilst satisfying 98% of passengers there will be cases where some will have insufficient legroom. Cordner says that, "certification is due to finish in September [2012] with production starting in December [2012]" and Pitch will offer a 12-week delivery turn-round from order.
In comparison, ACRO's Superlight R seat is marketed as a rugged, durable and exceptionally comfortable seat with 5″ of recline. Having had the opportunity to test the seat at AIX, the combination of the seating position and scalloped seat back provided ample legroom (for all 6'3" / 1.9m of me), even at a pitch of 28.75-inches. ACRO have over 10,000 Superlight seats flying on both Airbus and Boeing aircraft with Jet2, Primera Air, Blue Panorama, Amsterdam Airlines and Abna Nova.
But the story of economy class seat trends is not just one of seat-pitch alone – it's also about seat width. Despite the stark fact that the world's population is becoming increasingly 'oversized', and with body-mass-index (BMI) trends in the BRIC nations now starting to track their US and Western European counterparts, some airlines are actually reducing seat width.
In some markets, predominantly but not exclusively in Asia-Pacific, airlines are making the most of fuselage cross-sections and introducing 9-abreast seating where once there was 8-abreast and even introducing 10-abreast instead of 9. Cebu Pacific's recent announcement that they plan to introduce 440-seat all-economy A330s is indicative of this trend in the market.
At AIX, Airbus demonstrated an innovative economy class triple-seat group which makes good use of Airbus's wider fuselage cross sections. Dubbed the 20/17/17 it features a 20-inch wide seat in the aisle position made possible by 'pinching' an inch of width from both of the neighbouring seats – reducing their width from 18 inches to 17 inches.
What is immediately apparent when you sit down in this 20-inch wide seat is that you now have some 'wiggle-room'. This gives a passenger the opportunity to modify their sitting position, shift their weight balance and the freedom to position their legs to the left or right, significantly improving the comfort of the seat and the effective legroom.
For those of us 'non-vertically challenged' travelers this also allows us to keep our knees together and positioned straight ahead of us – rather than the legs-akimbo discomfort that many economy class seating arrangements deliver today.

Starlite Productions of Cherry Hill, NJ announced today that they will distribute the Hollywood, CA based Mole-Richardson Company's entire product line of television and motion picture lighting equipment.
Being a dealer for the Academy-Award recognized 75-year-old Mole-Richardson Company is definitely an exciting new venture for Starlite. It will allow them to further expand the television lighting sector of their business.
"This is an excellent opportunity for us," Starlite's lighting sales representative Joseph Masciangelo says. "With our close proximity to the city, the addition of Starlite to Mole-Richardson's dealer network will enable us to provide superior customer service to television customers in this market and to further develop a market that was previously lacking in local attention."

The problem with zero tolerance policies is that they frequently come with zero-intelligence. According to a recent article in The Daily Commercial newspaper in Florida, a high school student who stood up for a special needs classmate has been branded a bully by school officials.
According to the article, 18-year-old Stormy Rich witnessed a girl with special needs being bullied by her peers on the way to school for months before she decided to take a stand.
"They would be mean to her, tell her she couldn't sit on certain spots on the bus. Just because she doesn't understand doesn't mean that should be happening to her," Rich told WOFL-TV.
Too bad she didnt ask a cop. They could have told her that very rarely do you get a pat on the back for sticking your neck out to do the right thing.
More often than not taking that sort of action results in a reprimand, not a pat on the back.
Rich says she reported the bullying to the bus driver and school officials. They couldnt be bothered.
So the brave high school student decided it was up to her to confront the bullies.
Now Rich has been labeled as a bully and her bus-riding privileges have been revoked.
A spokesperson for the school district said, "Two wrongs don't make a right and that the girl with special needs never complained about being bullied.

Ayotte's dinner: Talking with Obama is wrong?
Among the dozen Republican senators who joined the President for dinner and conversation at Washington's Jefferson Hotel Wednesday night was New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte. Friendly with Sen. John McCain, Ayotte drew criticism from some libertarian and conservative activists for joining the President (and McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., two famously moderate Republicans). Somehow, Ayotte would have accomplished more had she snubbed the President and joined Sen. Rand Paul's filibuster of CIA director nominee John Brennan, the outraged activists suggested. Nonsense.
Just days before, Ayotte was on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanoplous" saying that she was open to a grand bargain on debt reduction. She would consider revenue increases, she said, but only if they included tax rate reductions, came with serious entitlement reforms, and the new revenue was dedicated exclusively to reducing the federal debt.
To suggest that there is no value in conveying that message to the President in person, in a casual setting in which a working relationship might develop, is to misunderstand the way politics works.
Last August, Sen. Tom Coburn (who attended last Wednesday's dinner) came to the defense of the Tea Party during an interview on MSNBC. Among his points was that Tea Party activists "understand that you've got to have human relations to get along in this world." It is amazing and disappointing that so many activists on both sides think that progress is made by refusing to work with anyone in the other camp.

It has almost been a year since the jogger was attacked in Haile Plantation.
Many residents refuse to jog alone anymore.
"It did effect me and most other people I know that jog. I won't jog alone anymore and I don't want to jog when it's dark so I think it has had an impact on all of us," said Cynthia Thibault, owner of The Village Jeweler in Haile Plantation.
Officials involved in the case say that they still get two leads a week regarding last years assault.
"We do have some forensic evidence in this case. We believe that evidence will be able to assist us in identifying the suspect. In an effort not to educate or change the person's m.o. We'd rather not release how or what was gathered," said Lt. Jack Jacobs.
Authorities have also entered the case into a national database and are looking for similar crimes around the country that could be related and they are still confident.
One year later, law enforcement is still investigating and joggers are still jogging but they haven't forgotten.

There have been a few shakeups since the last time The N&O featured local jam band Urban Soil in its pages a year and a half ago.
For starters, several members have moved on. Violinist and co-founder Jazmine Chesson left the band last August. "She just moved on to other things she wanted to do," says Eric Chesson, 39, guitarist, vocalist and her dad. "She's real young, so she decided to do other things."
Chesson's daughter wasn't the only one who bolted. Saxophonist/founding member Austin Barnard also departed – rather oddly, if you ask Chesson. "Soon after Jazmine left, he just decided he wanted to go join the military, and he just disappeared," says Chesson. "Nobody could find him for a couple of months. Musicians are like that."
So the band has gone through an overhaul of sorts. Mitch Trotter is the group's new resident fiddle player, while Paul Fisher has stepped in on drums and percussion. As for feminine vocals, Jazmine was replaced last September by guitarist/singer Sarah Reinke. "Well, I've seen Sarah around," says Chesson. "I've seen her perform a few times. I was aware of her, and I knew Jazmine was on her way out. And I thought she would be a good fit. And it's been perfect."
Reinke, a 22-year-old native Detroiter, has been performing for 11 years. When she and her family moved to Raleigh in 2007, she played everything from open-mic nights to parties in the woods. "I was definitely looking to either join something or start something myself," says Reinke. "So it kind of worked out perfectly."
According to Chesson, Reinke has brought more to the band than just her commanding vocals. "Her material really resonates with me, and I think it's mutual," says Chesson. Adds Reinke, "And our vocals fit very well together."
The band is now in the studio working on their full-length debut, titled "Dig Deeper" ("I like the way that ties in with our name," says Chesson), scheduled for release in August, when they'll have a CD release party at the Pour House Music Hall. They've even launched a Kickstarter page ( http://nando.com/gg) to raise money for some of the costs of making the album.
"It's got a pretty wide variety of types of songs," Reinke says. "I like to call it 'sweet Americana jamberry sauce,' because there's a bunch of different flavors in there. There are some really Americana, folky songs. There are some really hard-rocky songs. There's a bit of funk in there now. So we try to put a song from all the different genres that we throw in there all on the album."
Urban Soil is continuing to spread its sauce all over the state, playing at live gigs like the second annual N.C. Fresh Catch show this Saturday at Moore Square in Raleigh. And Chesson is having way too much fun to let this band die now.
"That really never even was a thought," says Chesson.

I do not think it is in the interest of anyone to make it any more difficult for someone to make a derivative work or remix of Fedora.I could see a web application that made it easy for remixers to provide all sorts of information about what, where, how, why, who, when, and so forth. Even more, I could see an active special interest group in Fedora that attracted remixers by giving them reasons to be involved. A sort-of meta-community of remixers, who themselves might be the tip of many thousands of remix users.
We have had http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DerivedDistributions which is not working out that well I would say.
Perhaps as you suggest a stand alone web application would work better than the wiki but I still fear that it stays the same since there is no motivating factor or direct requirements for them to provide that information to us thus it would not be maintained any better then a simple wiki page.
If you think about it they already get what they need from us why would they contribute anything back if they dont have to?
I personally see nothing wrong in having them register those remixes with us for measurements and research purposes at least we would be getting something back from them that way instead of those remixes just remaining unknown entity out there without us knowing of their existence nor if they are actually contributing anything back to the project or directly upstream for that matter ( upstream being other than Fedora in that term ).
Regarding Remix SIG I think it would be better to strengthen the already existing Spin SIG rather then creating a new one...
The concern is, anything that is automatic without opt-in is going to need a HUGE amount of visibility to the Fedora community. People are wary of being tracked and reported on, so they would have to know early what was being tracked, why, how, how it was aggregated, anonymized, and so forth. All of that decided, openly, before a single line of code need be written.
Smolt was created originally as a response to a situation where we weren't going to go through that last paragraph of hassle with the Fedora community. Could the data needs you are talking about utilize the existing Smolt + grow a remixer community?
Comparing what's present on smolt with what's mentioned on distrowatch then we only got a handful of potential derivatives that are being reported and there are only 3 that are present in smolt, on distrowatch and on our wiki page at the same time ( Ojuba, Mythdora and Linpus ).
Without knowing what these remixes are how are we going to be able to tell good remixes from potentially bad ones?
As an example smolt is reporting 25 people using Fedora release 15 ( Finian ). What we know is that Fedora 15 is in development and is referred by us and smolt as rawhide and certainly has not been officially released yet.
Finian is not one of the names that got suggested for Fedora release 15 names. ( That name should be announced today given that the voting ended at midnight ).
So is Fedora release 15 ( Finian ) a cracked version of Fedora that some 25 unsuspecting users are using thinking that it is the latest and greatest from Fedora or is it simply Rawhide remixed in Finnish?

Every holder of a liquor license in Barrington is now in compliance with the server training ordinance.
"Everyone is okay. They're all done," said Kathy Sullivan, program manager for The BAY Team, Barrington's substance abuse prevention coalition, which offers both live and video training for servers.
All license holders had all their servers trained by the Dec. 1 deadline applied by the Barrington Town Council at its November meeting, Sullivan said. That deadline was applied to make sure everyone was trained or face the possibility of having the liquor license revoked.
Eight businesses or clubs were not in compliance at that time.
"All new hires can take video training at the police station," said Kristin Wetmoreland of The BAY Team. "We will arrange the training."
Approximately 100 servers have been trained over the past year, said Sullivan. Barrington requires training every year unlike the state, which requires it only every three years.
The training takes about 2 hours live and 90 minues by video, said Sullivan.
The establishments that were not in full compliance on Nov. 5 were Billy's restaurant, Brickyard Wine & Spirits, the Democratic Club, PieZoni's, Rhode Island Country Club, Sushi Express, Tyler Point Grille and Tong-D restaurant.
The BAY Team actually scheduled additional live training sessions for servers in November for the license holders that were still not in full compliance.

There simply was no stopping the Buss for the Borah High football team Friday night.
Mountain View running back Josh Buss had a career night, rumbling for 327 yards and three touchdowns as the Mavericks steamrolled the visiting Lions 45-21.
The 6-foot-3 Buss scored on runs of 20, 60 and 93 yards, showcasing breakaway speed, tackle-breaking power and jitterbug quickness while leading the Mavericks to a school-record 581 yards on the ground.
It all starts with the O-line, Buss said. Camren Fraser, Abdulah Habibovic, Blake MaCulley, James Eldredge, Tristian Spooner, Brett Carter those guys made the biggest holes possible. Once I get through the line, I have confidence that I can run past people, but it all started with those guys tonight.
Senior quarterback Kai Turner added 142 rushing yards and three TDs of his own for the Mavericks (2-1), who rode their lethal rushing attack and bend-but-dont-break defense to a huge 5A SIC victory.
This is a big win over a great competitor like Borah, Turner said. Our line played fantastic, and Josh is an incredible player. There arent a lot of answers for a guy like him it looks like you have him stopped, and then he spins out of a tackle and hes gone.
The fireworks started early. After Buss opened the scoring with a 20-yard run, Borah quickly answered with a 55-yard burst by Karsten Niederer.
Not to be outdone, Buss ripped off a 60-yard TD moments later, giving the Mavericks a 14-7 lead.
After Buss huge first quarter, Turner took over in the second. The diminutive senior scored on runs of 2 and 12 yards the second a whirling, spinning, highlight-worthy dash to stake the Mavs to a 31-21 halftime lead.
Borah (2-1) racked up 448 yards, led by senior QB Cole Skinners 312-yard passing night. But the Lions were done in by turnovers including two red-zone interceptions and did not score in the second half.
Buss provided the fourth-quarter dagger, sprinting 93 yards moments after the Lions were stopped on fourth-and-goal.
Our special players made special plays, and thats what we need, Mountain View coach Judd Benedick said. Defensively, we knew Borah would move the ball, but our guys kept battling and came up with some big turnovers.
Senior cornerback Beau White had two of the Mavericks three pickoffs and limited Borah star Kion Williams to 66 yards on five catches.
Borah senior Trey Dennis led all receivers with 11 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown.

Stuck in Idle
The August issue of PRINT Magazine is out, and with it, my latest column. The illustration is by Justin Gabbard, which I really like (in addition to the rest of his work, by the way). It's a different type of thing than I've become accustomed to for these articles, but it's what makes the arrival of the magazine exciting for me. I used to wish I could get some kind of preview of the art direction for my column, but I've grown to really love the surprise. Anyway, this one is about information overload and what cost it might have to creativity...
One of my greatest fears is that my last living thoughts might be of Friends. Not my friends; that would be lovely. I mean the television show, Friends. Of all the things I could remember in my final moments—loved ones, nature, great art or music—I instead recall fake people I never really knew.
A particularly terrifying mystery of consciousness is our powerlessness over what we think and when we think it. How tragic that our last moments would be interrupted by the banality of a mediocre, mid-'90s sitcom! But "tragic" isn't really the right word. "Tragic" would imply I'd only watched a handful of sitcoms in my entire life. Unfortunately, a handful is not even close. Try countless. And that's just TV. This is the problem: we've so saturated our minds with noise that to hope we'll be able to ferret out the signal in the moments that count is sadly naive.
Clay Shirky has said that the problem isn't information overload, it's filter failure. I'm not so sure about that. In his latest book, Too Big to Know, David Weinberger investigates the effects of abundant information and concludes that with the internet's help, we've created a web of knowledge far too big for any individual to grasp alone; only a networked crowd can filter this vast accumulation.
Is there a limit to the mind's capacity? It certainly seems that way—sometimes I can't even remember the basics of what I did over the weekend. And Weinberger's explanation of our limits, set in the context of the all-pervasive information economy, has the ring of truth to me. I can't help feeling that for every LOLcat that goes in my brain, something else is pushed out. Perhaps something that, we're I given the chance to decide, I would prefer to keep.
LOLcats are one thing; we can probably agree that they're relatively meaningless. But what about all the other stuff we save? Between Google, Flickr, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, and every other repository of digital ephemera that rest so heavily upon the lighter-than-air metaphor of the cloud, we are never one tap, click or keystroke away from inspiration. Not so long ago, designers had to tear things from magazine, take their own photos, even visit libraries in their search for the right imagery for a new project. To those woeful, pre-cloud schlubs, the instant access we have now would be "an incalculable blessing."
Those are the words of the cultural critic William Deresiewicz, who, in a 2009 essay, The End of Solitude, wrote that though the internet was such a blessing to the isolated masses of late 20th century American suburbia, it has become an oppressive killer of creativity in the 21st. He cites Emerson, who wrote, "He who should inspire…must be defended from traveling with the souls of other men, from living, breathing, reading, and writing in the daily, time-worn yoke of their opinions." In other words, the more access you have to other people's ideas, the weaker your own become.
The writer John Naughton is worried that the internet has already run out of ideas. In an op-ed for The Guardian, he points out that the most popular corners of the internet are tightly controlled by corporations that are not interested in user innovation. Think about it. Tools like Flickr, Pinterest and Tumblr are designed for collecting, organizing and sharing, not creating. And the more time we spend collecting, the less time we spend creating. Eventually, working on the web could feel a lot like panning for gold at a theme park: Lots of sand and a few worn, fake gems.
maybe the internet has run out of ideas... but I have one that might interest anyone reading this article on information overload, tech addiction and hyper-connectivity.
THE DIGITAL DETOX RETREAT: August 16th-19th
Don't get me wrong. We love technology. It makes life more efficient, keeps us organized, saves lives, and connects us with friends and family across the globe. Unfortunately, it seems that most of us have forgot what it means to live without it, even briefly.

Diner Reviews
Chilapan has great food, attentive
service and a fun atmosphere. The only issue for some is the noise from the El if you're dining outside, but it just makes the dining experience more unique as you adapt to talk in 5-7 minute bursts between the trains and then quietly enjoy your meal until the noise passes. Signage is another non-food issue. Just believe that the restaurant is at the location provided by OpenTable whether there's a sign up or not."
Dined on 7/17/2014
This is one of my favorite
Mexican's restaurants in the entire city. It's very authentic and always consistent. All of the sauces are very flavorful and tasty. P.S. It's a BYO restaurant."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Chilapan is and remains one of my
neighborhood favorites in Bucktown. Great food, great service, great price. While their new location is bigger than the old one, it's still a fairly boisterous atmosphere -- the noise level is fine, but not recommended for an intimate occasion."
Dined on 6/6/2014
The food was all excellent between
the 4 of us, and the byob is a nice touch as well. They do need ot put in some AC or fans for hot days, but the food quality easily made that a secondary issue"
Dined on 5/9/2014
This use to be such good food.
The signature dish the volcano use to come to the table overflowing in green cactus and a melody of vegetables and meat. Now a sorry bowl of meat sitting low in melted cheese. What happened? The food use to be unique. The guacamole was plain and the fish was fishy smelling. What happened? They use to gladly take our tequila and mix margaritas for us. This time they just have us a pitchure if ice. What happened? The waiter slipped my friend his number. We were on a double date with our "girl" friends! Lol Know wonder the place was empty on a Friday night at 8:30. What happened?!"
Dined on 5/2/2014
Chilapan has moved across the
street from its former noisy and small one room dining. Now it is bright, cheerful, colorful, and still delicious. As always, the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive and friendly. Food is still delicious and unique as always. Fresh made for every meal! We will go back again and again."
Dined on 4/26/2014
I always enjoy dining at Chilapan,
but even more so now that they have moved to a larger space across the street (easier to get reservations or drop in). The food is great, the BYOB policy helps you eat well on a budget, and Olga is so warm and welcoming. She always remembers us! Will always return, especially for the chocolate tamal! Yummy!"
Dined on 4/26/2014
Great BYOB and even better food.
It is our go to place. The food is delicious and the service is great. "
Dined on 4/25/2014
Food was fantastic, but the
buslady kept on giving us dirty looks and telling us to move our seats. Maybe she owns the place? In any case she needs an attitude adjustment."
Dined on 4/24/2014
We had a great experience at
Chilapan! The staff are very friendly and the service was perfect! The food outstanding - we asked our server to pick his favorites. The taquitos were probably the highlight but the queso fondido was the best I ever had! We had the steak "volcano" which was outstanding! The Mexican "lasagna" with mole was really good too! Fun atmosphere and BYOB! "
Dined on 4/18/2014
2nd time here. Great little find.
Great food and BYO. Only complaint was that my dish was just too salty. Excellent guac and chips. The chocolate tamal for dessert was wonderful."
Dined on 4/5/2014
Colorful casual atmosphere, great
friendly staff, awesome non-typical upscale Mexican fare, and BYOB"
Dined on 4/4/2014
This small, family run Mexican
restaurant is BYOB with very reasonably priced, excellent food. Not Mexican like the usual tex-mex, but creative use of Mexican ingredients presented in original dishes that one would expect in Mexico City. Everything from empanadas to house made guacamole is very fresh with top quality ingredients. Puerco bomb had tasty, tender and juicy center cut pork and unusually good cilantro roasted potatoes. We also had bud in azteca which I would call a Mexican take on lasagna. Two layers of chicken and cheese surrounded by corn tortilla was far better than the simple ingredients sound."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Chilapan is a small, unassuming
restaurant that had been recommended to me. I took several friends, and we were all delighted with the many appetizers and several entrees that we shared. The guacamole was seriously the best I've ever had, the warm cheese appetizer was outrageous, the masa cakes with shredded chicken, all great. There are a range of fish entrees, such as tilapia enchiladas (the special the night that I was there). We shared a dessert, a really interesting twist on flan. Lovely, served with spiced Mexican coffee. Yum! The BYOB helped keep the prices reasonable, so about $25 per person. There was also an option in which they provided the base for margaritas if you brought the tequila! Very recommended!"
Dined on 3/20/2014
The food was tasty but the
ambience ruined the experience. It was cold and so loud we couldn't engage in converstation at all. We all just wanted to hurry up and finish our meal to go home. If they improved the acoustics and turned up the heat, I would consider returning."
Dined on 3/8/2014
went out with 6 friends and had a
very enjoyable meal. we brought tequila and had fresh margarita mix brought to us. Very good. Food was yummy. the only negative thing I can say is that the ventilation system needs a bit of work because it got a little smokey in there when a dish was prepared."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Went with a party of 6 and it was
just as expected, good food, different type of Mexican cooking. Not the standard typical food. Although a bit pricey for the atmosphere and amount of food."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Group of 6. Appetizers and dessert
all great. Entrees were mixed. Two had the enchiladas and both said they were not very flavorful. I had the Chicken Oaxaca and thought it was wonderful. One had the pork shoulder and was not overly impressed and two ahd the steak and thought is was just OK. Except for the chicken, most thought that the restaurant compromised a bit betwween what the authentic cusiine really is all about and what they thought their customers would like. Suggest no compromises! They need a second door in the front in the winter as every time someone came or went we froze. I think this would be a great summer spot."
Dined on 2/15/2014
normally Mexican restaurants make
you think of chips and salsa. here those things cost! yes you pay for the salsa...no kidding. the food was really very good and a bit different. the service was excellent. we were sitting close to the door and asked to move, and we were accommodated. this is a byob place as I a m allergic to beans I asked if I could have rice instead. when the entrees arrives there were beans. more than half way through the entrée...rice arrived. then I was charged 2.50 for a very small portion of rice. this was taken off the bill...come on, REALLY! other have mentioned the "rules" on the back of the menu. to me this ridiculous for a change, it was a good meal... I still like wholly frijoles (in Lincolnwood) much better!!!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
Walking by this restaurant in the
shadow of a railroad underpass just west of Western and Armitage, one might get the impression that it's just another Mexican place on the Westside. Nothing could be further from the truth: Chilapan is a funky little place with a gourmet menu prepared by Chef Jorge Miranda with the kind of mastery and agility that will wow even the most jaded foodie. We'd recommend starting with the grilled avocado stuffed with crab meat and served with house made tortilla chips dotted with a little cilantro paste that leave a roundness of taste that will make you want to order a second serving, but don't:Tthe entrees are even more thrilling. Why this restaurant isn't in Zagat's (and the Loop), I don't understand."
Dined on 2/15/2014
With so much great Mexican food in
the area, it can be a little hard to pay more. However, everything was $20 and under and worth the price. Plus, the BYO evens that out. Our waiter was very nice but there seemed to be some cultural disconnect. When another reservation showed up he told us we had to go. Granted, we sat for awhile, but we had ordered three courses and it probably could have been worded a little better. He wasn't rude, but just didn't seem to realize it's not appropriate to ask your table that just spent $150 to kindly shove off. Regardless, I'd still go back another time to give the chance of improvement there."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The food was great, but the
service and ambiance ruined it all."
Dined on 2/8/2014
We made reservations for 7 people
and found the staff to be incredibly attentive. Everyone raved about the shared appetizers and their own individual meals (top marks for the crab stuffed salmon and the skirt steak wrapped around sauteed spinach). The restaurant added to our joyous occasion. Thanks Chilipan!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
Chilapan never disappoints! We've
been coming here 3 months after they first opened and have never been disappointed by the fabulous food and welcoming and great service. The guacamole is the best ever and the chips are amazing. Start there!! Our favorites are Pechuga Poblana a pan seared chicken breast filled with spinach served over homemade creamy poblano salsa, YUMMM. My husband's favorite is Carne Yucatecan * WOW. If your lucky enough to come on a night when they serve their ribs you will be ecstatic!!!!!! It's also perfect for groups!!! Olga always makes you feel welcome and always remembers to serve us some of their fabulous Mexican coffee!!! We will be back. PLUS BYOB!!!!! You can't beat it."
Dined on 2/8/2014
I took my boyfriend here for his
birthday. The restaurant was very accommodating to our party of 7, everyone loved their dishes and the service was warm and friendly. Our server brought my boyfriend a chocolate with a birthday candle in it...nice ending to a great dinner. Looking forward to coming back!"
Dined on 1/23/2014
The food was great, not your
typical Mexican fare. A little pricey, but portions were quite large. Inventive sauces play a role in most dishes. BYOB. Service was a bit slow, and unfortunately there was a smoky haze in the air. Like the exhaust fans in the kitchen were either inadequate or not working. I assume this is due to working out kinks in a new, much larger location. Will definitely return."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Overpriced $18 - $19 entrees
should have been priced at $8 - $10. Volcano entree was a small amount of food in a large vessel. Pork shoulder was good, but average. Again, overpriced compared to other good Logan Mexican restaurants."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Some of the best and most unique
Mexican food in Chicago. Is it Frontera ? No. And the location is not mainstream. But the food is exceptional, with a number of unique ingredients that we have not seen before. Kind of a funky atmosphere. You can bring your own tequila, and they will make margaritas for you."
Dined on 1/17/2014
I had a great date night here with
my boyfriend. He had the steak and I had the salmon, both of which were delicious. I was underwhelmed by the guacamole (thought the portion size was small) and the chocolate tamale, but the flan was superb. It was a quiet night and we had wonderful service, which was attentive but not overbearing. I did not get the server's name, but he was great. It was a cute restaurant and I would definitely recommend it to diners who want to try elevated Mexican cuisine, and have the income to do so."
Dined on 1/15/2014
Great restaurant, the service was
great, the food was outstanding. Im not sure why the bad reviews, but working in a restaurant myself I know how petty and obnoxiously picky certain diners can be, Im guessing those are the ones who leave the bad reviews. We had the Chile Con Queso and Taquitos de Cochinita as appetizers, the Pollo Oaxaca and Enchiladas Divorciadas as our entrees and the Empanada de Pina and Chocoflan as desserts, and everything was delicious! I would not mind dining at this place every single day of the year! For those who think the food is expensive, clearly you do not know the difference between a Taqueria and a Mexican Restaurant. This is NOT Taqueria food. The food here is NOT mediocre and is worth every penny."

New location needs a little
updating but the food is solid good. BYOB is a plus, the steak entrees are the best. Save room for the chocolate tamela at the end of the meal...."

Great time here with the woman.
Was a sunday night and surprisingly quite empty, just three tables in our time there. Overall, nice ambiance despite quiet. Food was fabulous, didn't get appetizers but thoroughly liked the volcano dish and steak (rollito). Volcano especially with its delightful combination of meats and rice, yum. Dessert was AMAZING Tamal de chocolate (first one on the list) the chocolate flavored masa filled tamal, AMAZING."

We live in Lincoln Park and were
delighted to discover Chilapan. Every bite of our dishes was outstanding. We began with the scallop escabeche and wanted to drink the remaining juice after we had eaten all the solid pieces. Then I orders the shrimp with pistachio sauce and my husband got the steak rollito. When our plates were cleared there was not a trace of food left because we used everything we could to mop up the sauce. The service was extremely friendly and prompt too on a busy Saturday night. I can't wait to go back."
Dined on 11/9/2013
Chilapan is an intimate spot, but
the owners were very accommodating to a group of 8. Entrees run about $20, not cheap, but Chilapan is BYO, so the total bill is reasonable. The food is refined but not fussy. I really enjoyed my meal, and everyone in the rest of my group did, too. Get the flan (you won't be disappointed)."
Dined on 11/7/2013
tables were so close we got to
know those sitting near us which was actually quite nice. Noise level made it hard to chat with others at our table which was for 12 of us so some were further away than the tables next to us. Food was excellent, service was good and very friendly."
Dined on 11/6/2013
They were obviously short handed
the night we went. The food was good, but everything was very slow."
Dined on 10/25/2013
This is my second time at
Chilapan, although its been about a year. The food was as delicious as I remembered. It's a small place so be sure to make your reservation. My only complaint this visit was it took a long time for them to come back to our table when we were finished with our main course. I would definitely recommend this little BYOB find!"

Samsung Electronics has started sampling what it claims is the industry's first monolithic 4Gb, low-power DDR2 (LPDDR2) DRAM using 30nm-class technology. The chip will be used in high-end mobile applications such as smartphones and tablet PCs.
The new 4Gb LPDDR2 DRAM can transfer up to 1,066Mbps, which approaches the performance of memory solutions for PC applications. It more than doubles the performance of the industry's previous mobile DRAM, which operates between 333Mbps and 400Mbps.
Samsung will begin sampling 8Gb LPDDR2 DRAM by stacking two 4Gb chips in a single package, as it is expected that 8Gb will become the mainstream density for the mobile DRAM market next year.

shell scripts
newbie here. i'm currently taking a linux class and have an assignment and am having problems. the assignment is to create a shell script.
the instructions are to log in and create a directory called "scripts" in my home directory. then i am to open the text editor and create a script that displays the date, who is logged on and the current directory.
then we are to run the command using the bash command.
here is what i wrote.
#this is a comment
when i try to run it, it won't run.
i have tried it both logged in as a user and as root.
i have also changed the permissions using chmod 755 script1
the next step after we run it is to change the permissions to what i already changed it to. we are then asked to run the script by typing in just the script name (script1).
we then have to add echo escape sequences so that each item appears on a new line.
there is more but if i can get this to work i might be able to finish it.
thanks for any advice.
Try this chmod +x
Try this
chmod +x script_name
Then run your script
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

"Hillary Hatred" and other questions !!
by SevenStrings, Tue Mar 25, 2008 at 01:49:44 PM EDT
In this diary, I will examine two questions:
(1) What effect did the YouTube Sermons and Sen. Obama's speech have on the dynamics of the race ?
(2) What drives Hillary hatred ?
As an added bonus, you can also examine the effect of the "Tuzla sniper" incident.
I will do this by examining trends in the favorability- unfavorability numbers for Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton, as provided by the tracking polls of Rasmussen. I have diaried on this before, but now I am able to provide additional information.
(1) Effect of the YouTube Sermons, and Sen. Obama's speech
First, a discussion is in order about polling methods, use of Rasmussen vs Gallup etc., and how this analysis differs from the negligible changes in the Obama/Clinton numbers available from Rasmussen and Gallup.
In examining the effect of the YouTube Sermons, and that of Sen. Obama's speech, we should look at the trends in the raw Favorability/Unfavorability numbers, and not the Obama/Clinton comparison. Sen. Obama could be badly damaged due to the YouTube sermons, and still appear to have gained ground with respect to Sen. Clinton because Sen. Clinton could also have been damaged by other unrelated events. In fact, as I will show that both Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton have suffered as a result of the YouTube sermons, but the short-term loss was greater for Sen. Clinton (go figure ~ this is a topic for the "What drives Hillary hatred" question).
Second, a lot of people question my use of Rasmussen. "Didn't they just say that HRC would lose to McCain by 7% in AR. That must mean that they are a crappy outfit, and one should not use their numbers". This is a somewhat fair point ~ one should not rely on their raw numbers: their methodology may mean that there exists a large and systematic difference between their raw numbers and the right value. However, we can still rely on "trends" within their numbers. They can be systematically off, but as long as their methodology is consistent from day to day, they will be systematically off by about the same amount. Thus, we can still examine trends within their numbers, provided those trends are outside the "margin of error"
And that brings us to the final point: what is their margin of error ? They do not report this for the favorability/ unfavorability numbers, so we are left on our own for this. We could infer the margin of error from the charts, but this assumes that we have an accurate enough model for the underlying trendline (in nerd-speak, the margin of error originates from the standard deviation of repeat measurements of the same entity; for accurate standard deviation estimates, you need a very large sample size). In our case, the trendline is unknown (because that is what we are trying to estimate), and two data points refer to different entities (public opinion on different days) so we do not know the margin of error. And so, when looking at my conclusions, keep that in mind and draw your own conclusions (as noted on the charts, the solid lines are meant to guide the eye, and are not fitted models).
And finally, to the important question:
Qu 1.a: Did the YouTube Sermons damage Sen. Obama ? Did his speech work ?
The graphs above shows the (favorability - unfavorability) and the strongly favorable-strongly unfavorable) numbers for Sen Obama, with the 2 events marked. You can clearly see the "trend reversal" brought upon by the "YouTube sermons", and the lack of any trend reversal brought upon by Sen. Obama's "A more perfect union" speech. This clearly proves that the YouTube sermon did "damage" Sen. Obama (I use the word "damage" loosely here ~ the damage appears to be ongoing, and has not been fully realized yet. Bleeding would be a better word!). Finally, we can also see that Sen. Obama has been unable to stop the bleeding with his speech.
Qu 1.b: If the YouTube Sermons damaged Sen. Obama, why does it not show up on the Obama/Clinton matchups ?
I was puzzled by the answer to this, which is why I refrained from commenting on this in earlier diaries. However, the evidence is now overwhelming: The YouTube sermons, or something else "damaged" Sen. Clinton even more than the damage sustained by Sen. Obama. You can see this clearly in the charts for Sen. Clinton presented in the next section. Unlike the "damage" sustained by Sen. Obama (wherein, the damage is ongoing, and is more akin to bleeding than to instantaneous damage), the damage sustained by Sen. Clinton was immediate. Perhaps people thought she was behind it ? Perhaps people blamed her for not defending Sen. Obama ? Also, Sen. Clinton appears to have weathered that damage, if today's data point is any indication. As they say, the next few days will be interesting (the next few days are always interesting).
(2) What drives "Hillary hatred" ?
Hillary hatred is unique in that it is very difficult to understand the underlying reasons for this. Consider her (like her-dislike her) and her (love her-hate her) charts depicted below.
It is clear from this chart that Hillary hatred subsided substantially when Sen. Obama appeared to have locked down the Democratic nomination (i.e., in the Feb time scale), and flared up again when it became apparent that she was fightin on to the TX/OH primaries. Prior to the February, Hillary was hated by 33% of the overall population. The chart does not show this, but the underlying reason for the apparent decrease in Hillary hatred is that about half of all Hillary haters (about 17% of the total population) went from hating Hillary to merely disliking her when it appeared that she was out of the race.
Thus, it is safe to conclude that about half of the "Hillary-hatred" is generated by an intense desire to see her lose, and not to any logical reason (examples of logical reasons: she is a liar, she cares for herself etc. etc.)
Now, consider the second example: the dates corresponding to the release of the "YouTube sermons", and Sen. Obama's speech are also marked in Sen. Clinton's charts. Notice the obvious: both events result in a marked increase in "Hillary hatred". In fact, the short-term loss for Sen. Clinton was more than the short-term loss for Sen. Obama, both as a result of the YouTube sermons, and also as a result of Sen. Obama's speech. I consider this as another example of irrational Hillary hatred.
And now, consider the last example. These past few days, it has become clear that Sen. Clinton "misspoke" about sniper fire in Tuzla. This has been caricatured as proof that she is a liar ~ you would normally expect Hillary hatred to increase. Now notice the significant increase in her (love her-hate her) numbers for today (I try to avoid commenting on data points from a single day, but in this case, the increase is fairly significant). Of course, it is only natural that Hillary hatred subsides when apparent bad news about Sen. Clinton makes the headlines ~ it makes as much sense as other facets of Hillary hatred I discussed above.
It is my opinion that Sen. Clintons (love her - hate her) chart is oscillating between monster (levels < -10%) and "just another politician" levels for no logical reason. If anyone has any insight into what is driving these numbers, I would sure love to hear them.
PS: I used Red for Sen. Clinton so as to conform the claim by Sen. Obama's supporters that she is tryign to destroy the democratic party. I am, in fact, supporting Sen. Clinton in this particular race.
As always, comments are welcome.

MAGNOLIA, Del.- Delaware State Police have arrested two suspects on vandalism and theft charges following accusations that they damaged property in a Magnolia development. Shortly before 5 a.m. Friday, troopers were dispatched to a reported trespassing incident in the area of Sunny Meadow Drive in the Woodfield development. Police said that when troopers arrived in the area, they observed two males walking along Sunny Meadow Drive and attempted to make contact with them. The two ran and were later discovered in a home of one of the suspects on Winding Wood Drive, police said. Troopers said that through the investigation, it was determined that the two had drank some beer before walking through the neighborhood removing property from various yards. The suspects then placed the items on a 43-year-old victim's lawn located in the 100 block of Glenn Forest Drive, police said. Investigators said the two then placed a hose from the house into the victim's gas tank and then turned on the water. Police said the duo was in the process of constructing a home-made incendiary device, but their efforts were thwarted by the arrival of troopers. Philip Johnson-Bevins, 20, of Magnolia, and a 17-year-old male from Magnolia, were each charged with second-degree attempted reckless endangering, three counts of theft under $1,500, third-degree conspiracy, underage consumption of alcohol and nine counts of third-degree criminal trespass.
Both suspects were released on unsecured bonds. Johnson-Bevins was also issued a no contact order with the development of Woodfield, meaning he is not be in the development at all. The 17-year-old was issued a no unlawful contact order with the victims in the development since he resides in the neighborhood.
