MKG seems a consensus top three candidate for ROY. Doesn't mean much now, but its good to have any awareness of our players on a national level, and I think he ups our respectability a notch or two. I noticed there's no T-Rob mention anywhere.
Anyway, here's the Insider blurb about MKG:
Also:ESPN.com's Summer Forecast poll of experts recently suggested NBA Rookie of the Year voting will come down to the following three players: the New Orleans Hornets' Anthony Davis, the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard and the Charlotte Bobcats' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
As individuals, each of these guys had college seasons ranging from good to fantastic last season. They all have significant upside, but will be expected to contribute pretty quickly so none of them should be considered a "project" at all like the Detroit Pistons' Andre Drummond is.
All three guys can play and will put up numbers, as they proved that to some degree during the NBA summer leagues. So how accurate will the Summer Forecast be?
When deliberating on how to vote for an MVP, Rookie of the Year, etc., the play of the individual must be considered in context with the success of his team. If this trio of players all post similar PER scores and overall game productivity, their teams' success will carry more weight, which gives a guy like Lillard an advantage. However, if a player produces far more than any other rookie, then he'll win even if he shines for a horrible team, which is what could happen to Kidd-Gilchrist. Davis is indeed the favorite, but he isn't a lock.
Here's a look at why the NBA Rookie of the Year Award will or will not go to Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist or Lillard and what might have been missing from their games to prevent them from taking home the hardware at the end of the 2012-13 season.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, F
Why he could win: Forget how bad the Bobcats might be again this season (it was not a fluke that they lost so often in 2011-12), and focus on just how good Kidd-Gilchrist is at playing his heart out. It's all he has ever done, and as we recently saw with Kenneth Faried last season, that carries much of the day in the NBA. Combine that with how interested teams are in defensive intensity on all parts of the floor as well as an increased focus on the transition game, and we see ample opportunities for Kidd-Gilchrist to flirt with 20 points and 10 rebounds in certain games and perhaps some triple-doubles, too.
Kidd-Gilchrist is comfortable filling the lane, but he's also keen on making the extra pass to get his team a simple bucket. Teams are also looking to go small at power forward more often, so Kidd-Gilchrist should see significant minutes matched up against bigger but slower opponents. But he possesses the power and strength to play with them, despite his youth. He's not going to average Tyreke Evans' rookie line of 20 points, five rebounds and five assists per game, but 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists a game is certainly within reach. And that would be a powerful statement to voters.
Why he doesn't win: Gilchrist is many things, but nothing in Las Vegas suggested he's a good shooter. If he's not effective on the glass or in transition, he might struggle to score on many nights. Unlike Lillard, he's used to playing with a target on his chest against top players, so I don't see that as an issue.
But losing is contagious, and losing as often as Charlotte might this season can certainly be dispiriting. It's even possible that management/coaching does not challenge him to bring his amazing energy every night once the end of the season is near, as the race for the next lottery pick will be on. Kidd-Gilchrist without his special drive and tenacity in gear is simply not a special player, and he certainly would not be worthy of a ROY selection.
Forecast: 2012-13 Rookie of the Year
Anthony Davis
New Orleans Hornets
PF | No. 1 pick
Last season
14.2 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 4.7 bpg
71A-Train (Shade3c) @Emerald_Custard2
@NBAonESPN Anthony Davis because he reminds me of Bill Russell - better on defense than offense and can be a defensive anchor. #NBApicks
Damian Lillard
Portland Trail Blazers
PG | No. 6 pick
Last season
Weber State
24.5 ppg, 4.0 apg
10Chris Freed @Big_Saages3
I think Damian Lillard gets rookie of the year - Starting minutes, 2 man game with LMA, and it's a guards league #NBApicks
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Charlotte Bobcats
SF | No. 2 pick
Last season
11.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg
8Dan Waxenberg @d_WAX
@NBAonESPN MKG is in the best situation to win ROY because he is already (by far) the best player on his team, the Bobcats. #NBApicks

No thanks on Tyler ordanny don't want them at all. Wayne could be a decent bench player
Your thoughts on all three of thease Carolina players who i feel is underated in this mock draft . Hansborough has droped below us in second round , Ellington has even deeper the end of the second round. Green is not even projected to be drafted .
I feel Brown should consider all three of thease guys at bargin basement deals.
Im not saying we should draft them but should at least take a look.
Your thoughts

When you look at the way the 76ers have drafted in the last 4-5 years the team they put together without ever having the best picks is very impressive. A lot of guys are gonna go this year thinking it is going to be a weak draft. I trust LB to find the guys he wants in the second round.
With Tyler you are getting a very polished player. His bottom is like a reggie evens (who is a very productive player) and he could give us some minutes right away. He is going to bring a lot of toughness to whatever team he joins and he is going to put the ball in the basket a lot more than people think and at a much higher percentage. I am not saying he is gonna average 20 but you know he is gonna get a few offensive rebounds and take smart shots. It is hard to imagine him not getting 12.
I like green a little better then W.E. b/c of his d. The bobcats are a team built on d and anyone that can add to that is a plus. I just think green has a little more upside being so athletic.
I would like both Green and Ellington, both will be valuble contributors. We should draft both of them and trade our first round pick + Nazr to Golden State for J-Creezy and Brandon Wright.
I would enjoy that, too bad it wont happen
Hansbrough would be a nice pickup late in the draft. He could potentially be our new Duds--works hard and solid contributor, but a little limited.
Green is a do-it-all type of guy that doesn't really excel at any one part of the game. He'd be great in a uptempo system, but not really in ours.
Wayne Ellington is silky smoooooooooooooth. His jumper is BEAUTIFUL. I've always liked the way he plays and how he's developed. In his freshman year he was nothing but a spot up shooter. Sophomore year he learned to dribble and create his own outside shot. This year I see him taking it to the hole and leading the break and I seriously see an NBA player in him.
I'm amazed at how low he is on people's boards. He's going to be a very solid NBA player
All im saying is a undrafted Green is worth taking a look at . Like some one else said he is a very nice defender can rebound for his position and has up side . Not much to lose undrafted.
Ellington is being over looked . He has expanded his game and could be the best Carolina player on the board this year. I would have thought hes a late first rounder . Late second round he could be a steal . Hes being over looked.
Physco T as a second round pick is worth at least a look.
It s not like it's high risk moves only high reward. As all seem to be at best 2nd round picks at best.
Danny Green is more like Dudley than Tyler is, with a ton less downside. All three of them are going to give some team solid bench production right off the bat, with Wayne probably moving into some teams starting line up in a couple years. Danny will move back into that perennial 6th man role he rocked for his first three years of school. Tyler will be someone that plays lights out for eight minute stretches while a starter gets a rest and instantly boost some team's bench production.
I'd drool for either of them coming off the bench in Brown's system. Wayne I love, but we just don't need him. Tyler has the potential to become a lock down defender, and Danny is already close. Oddly, Tyler is a MUCH better perimeter defender than he is close to the paint. Tyler off the bench would be an amazing 3/4 for us, particularly if Ajinca takes a while to mature. Danny would REALLY help in those end game lineups to go small and spread the floor without trading shot blocking and defense.
Most importantly, if we put Tyler and Danny against the bench of almost any team in the East, maybe we'd frigging get the to the free throw line once in a while.
The comparison to Dudley is based on their positions. Green wouldn't be much more than a more controlled Shannon Brown.
I don't understand why we don't need Wayne. One of our biggest holes is the SG spot, and we could always use a solid 3point shooter.
One of Hansbrough's biggest weaknesses is his perimeter defense. I've watched the majority of the games he's played as a Tar Heel and I've always looked at him as a subpar perimeter defender. You'll see him get crossed by all of the people at his position with even a semblance of ball handling ability.
I stand firm. Of those three, we want Ellington. We don't need Hansbrough or Green, but I'd take them in the second round if we didn't have many other options
After watching Wayne in the Final Four (where he was named Playor Of, BTW), I don't see how he wouldn't be a gift to us at the late lottery. He has been way undervalued, he was all-tournament, all-ACC, 20ppg, great shooting touch, and a great guy. But hey, I don't mind his stock being low as long as we can still get him, but I see it rising. Maybe we get him at out lottery pick?
He's not necessarily a lottery level hype guy. But I'd love to see him in the late first round as he's definitely skilled.
I'm glad to see somebody else finally noticing how talented this kid is. He'd be great in our team system taking shots from outside and playing smart team defense

User Review: Trangia 25-3 UL
Price Paid: $60 Aus
These stoves have been around for along time, they are bullet proof, simple as that. As long as you have fuel they will work. I have had mine in -40c and +40c it worked fine. At -40c it was slow but eventually I got hot coffee, feed etc.
Obviously gas and liquid stoves work faster and produce more heat but these have no moving parts nothing to break and they go on and on forever. With the gas adapters and solid fuel options they are one of the best all round options if you want reliability and let's face it not everyone is trying to cook a meal on the slopes of Everest.
Solid, reliable and you can pass them on to your grandchildren.

Comments: Great Heater, love the light.
Comments: This is a good heater. I checked it in comparison with a thermometer, the temperatures were close and the temperature on the signal was quite accurate. The only potential issue is that because of the plastic shield around the glass tube, the heater absolutely must be in a tank that has good water circulation to keep water moving against the heating element.
Comments: This heater is the best on the market. I was using another brand but always "felt" that it was giving false readings. Set this one up and I was right. It was running my tank 2 degrees warmer than I had it set for. This heater immediately corrected the issue and has been working flawlessly. I also invested in back up temp monitoring and it confirmed that this Fluval heater is the exact temp its set for. Awesome product, only wish I have is it didn't use suction cups. Would have been better off with some sort of magnets to hold it in place. Still it's a perfect heater and would recommend it!
Comments: I have four of these 2 X 50W, 200W and 300W and they're all doing great especially at night time. Easy to read the temperature and very accurate readings. ( I still have the original basic thermometers also installed and compare them just to make sure readings are correct.
Comments: This is an excellent heater. The integrated LCD is great and the color coding lets you know at a glance if the temp is correct. Love that the glass in covered and that it is easily disassembled for cleaning. I have the heater horizontal near the substrate and it keeps the temp to within a half degree. Use the wattage rating only as a guide, ALL aquarium heaters can only raise the temperature of the tank a certain degrees above room temp, so instead of relying on the number printed on the box do a bit of math before you purchase. I needed the 100 watt to heat a 9 gallon tank (actually 7.5 gallons when you calculate the thickness of the glass and the fact that you don't fill it to the top)
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

With Houston's 31-10 win against the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday, one of next week's AFC Divisional round games is already set — No. 3 seed Houston at No. 2 seed Baltimore.
That means that the winner of today's Broncos-Steelers contest will travel to New England next week to take on the No. 1 seed Patriots.
That Saturday, Jan. 14 game is set for 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
Both the Broncos and Steelers played the Patriots earlier this season, so next weekend will be a rematch regardless of today's outcome.
Meanwhile, we're a little less than two-and-a-half hours from kickoff today at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

Cierra, welcome and well done on your successes so far. You might just find that eating this way will balance out other health issues that you have - but do continue to take it slowly.
All the very best wishes

Hey everyone, I've been skimming through this website for a few days now after reading The Primal Blueprint. I've been trying to go completely Paleo, but I am not being too hard on myself just yet. However, The PB lifestyle has greatly helped me in my recovery from my anorexia nervosa, which I have been actively recovering from for about 1 1/2 to 2 months. My weight is restored (I think, I honestly can't muster the courage to weigh myself) and have successfully gone from a dangerously unhealthy BMI and body fat percentage to feeling EXCELLENT with all this nutrition I am providing for my body.
In my journey to go completely Primal/Paleo, I have so far gone a whopping 7 days in a row (lol) without grains or bread of any kind. This is a big deal for me because when I was restricting so heavily, the only thing I would eat was "lite" bread, vegetables, fruit, artificial sweeteners, and loads of fat free foods. I am struggling with going without my Fage 0% (although I may try 2% soon) and really miss legumes. I eat tons of almonds, cashews, pistachios, and sunflower seed butter (I finished a jar off by myself in a week! :O ) and hope that my affinity for these will subside when I learn to balance my meals out a bit better.
In correlation with the PB, I have also changed my workout habits from Chronic Cardio to the much more enjoyable primal way of moving. I am getting stronger every day and building tons of muscle! I will definitely testify that living the Primal lifestyle (even though not 100% every day, and only for a month) is leaps and bounds better than feeling sick, emaciated, and void of life energy.
Anyway, besides the obvious benefit of overcoming anorexia nervosa, I also suffer from IBS and wish to reduce these symptoms in my body with the Primal lifestyle. Any advice for reducing sugar cravings, IBS symptoms, and eating late at night would be much appreciated. I am so excited to begin living my life as a healthy, energetic 22 year old and hope that everyone finds what they are looking for in living their life a la the PB.
Cierra, welcome and well done on your successes so far. You might just find that eating this way will balance out other health issues that you have - but do continue to take it slowly.
All the very best wishes

...small steps....
Welcome Cierra! I'm glad primal is going well for you.
Don't ever be too hard on yourself! Ever! Having some sensible indulgences is a key part of primal.
I eat organic, traditionally soaked beans. I have since I started primal nearly 3 years ago. But maybe you can't right now because of IBS issues. But once you heal you may be able to have some. Don't overdo them but maybe they can be part of your 20% eventually.
Ancestral Health Info - My main blog about Primal and the general ancestral health movement for people who want to take a flexible approach.
Thanks for your support and warm welcome! I look forward to learning a lot with this site to help create the best version of my life that I can!
Hi Cierra, I too also had anorexia and I started my recovery from it about 8 years ago now. As soon as I started eating 'normally' again I developed cramps/bloating etc. Only a few years ago was I diagnosed with IBS - I have heard there are links with eating disorders and IBS but that's another thread lol...
I would just take your time like you are now, I have actually found that some foods that previously gave me REALLY bad bloating (red onions) are now not affecting me at all! I did go gluten and dairy free when I was diagnosed with IBS as gluten and dairy seemed to be the things which set me off. But just cutting out the gluten-filled stuff has helped since going Primal. I do still have soya milk and I have cheese now and then (if I have small amounts I am ok).
Hopefully you will find the same too that over time your body will repair and perhaps you can start eating some things without so much discomfort
'Be yourself, everyone else is taken' - Oscar Wilde
Thanks for your reply, Lilith. I am comforted in knowing that others have gone through the journey I am on now, although I am sorry that you had to go through having an eating disorder at all. I am still I'm the very beginning stages of recovery and still have mental symptoms of anorexia... It seems that I cannot follow my hunger cues to eat an appropriate amount, and I either end up just barely getting to 1000-1100, or I go crazy on the sugar and nut butters and end up over 2500. I hope that I can listen to my body and this will eventually even out, but I understand that there will be a while before my body trusts that it won't go through "famine" again, and have to be patient and nurturing toward myself when things like binges occur. Since you are in the same boat as me, but have gotten even further along, I would appreciate and thoroughly listen to any bit if advice you want to throw at me!
Well, I guess your journey will be different to mine, I certainly won't throw anything at you
If you are going to be following the primal fitness programme, I would just try and make sure you get the appropriate level of calories each day, as too little calories will mean your results are limited.
There is a support thread on here somewhere for people, either with or recovering from, eating disorders so you may find some useful support there too x
EDIT: Here is one http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread59619.html

Book burning
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (May 2008) |
Book burning (also biblioclasm or libricide) is the practice of destroying, often ceremonially, books or other written material. In modern times, other forms of media, such as phonograph records, video tapes, and CDs have also been ceremoniously burned or shredded. Book burning is usually carried out in public, and is generally motivated by moral, religious, or political objections to the material.
Book burning can be emblematic of a harsh and oppressive regime which is seeking to censor or silence an aspect of a nation's culture. In some cases the works destroyed are irreplaceable and their burning constitutes a severe loss to cultural heritage. Examples include obliteration of the Library of Baghdad, the burning of books and burying of scholars under China's Qin Dynasty, the destruction of Aztec codices by Itzcoatl, and the Nazi book burnings.
Book burning can be an act of contempt for the book's contents or author, and the act is intended to draw wider public attention to this opinion. Examples include the burning of Wilhelm Reich's books by the FDA and the 2010 Qur'an-burning controversy.
Art destruction is related to book burning, both because it might have similar cultural, religious or political connotations and because in various historical cases books and artworks were destroyed at the same time.
Historical background[edit]
From the 7th Century BC when Jehoiakim, King of Judah, burned part of the prophet Jeremiah's scroll, (Jeremiah 36), to the present day, the burning of books has a long history as a tool wielded by authorities both secular and religious, in efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are perceived as posing a threat to the prevailing order.
According to scholar Elaine Pagels, "In AD 367, Athanasius, the zealous bishop of Alexandria... issued an Easter letter in which he demanded that Egyptian monks destroy all such unacceptable writings, except for those he specifically listed as 'acceptable' even 'canonical' — a list that constitutes the present 'New Testament'".[citation needed] Although Pagels cites Athanasius's Paschal letter (letter 39) for 367 AD, there is no order for monks to destroy heretical works contained in that letter.[1] Thus, heretical texts do not turn up as palimpsests, washed clean and overwritten, as pagan ones do; many early Christian texts have been as thoroughly "lost" as if they had been publicly burnt.
According to the Chronicle of Fredegar, Recared, King of the Wisigoths (reigned 586–601) and first Catholic king of Spain, following his conversion to Catholicism in 587, ordered that all Arian books should be collected and burned; and all the books of Arian theology were reduced to ashes, with the house in which they had been purposely collected.[2][3]
Nalanda, an ancient center of higher learning in Bihar, India was sacked by Turkic Muslim invaders under Bakhtiyar Khalji in 1193. The great library of Nalanda University was so vast that it is reported to have burned for three months after the invaders set fire to it, sacked and destroyed the monasteries, and drove the monks from the site.[citation needed]
In his 1821 play, Almansor, the German writer Heinrich Heine — referring to the burning of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, during the Spanish Inquisition — wrote, "Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings." ("Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.") Over a century later, Heine's own books were among the thousands of volumes that were torched by the Nazis in Berlin's Opernplatz.[4]
Anthony Comstock's New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, founded in 1873, inscribed book burning on its seal, as a worthy goal to be achieved. Comstock's total accomplishment in a long and influential career is estimated to have been the destruction of some 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plates for printing such 'objectionable' books, and nearly 4,000,000 pictures. All of this material was defined as "lewd" by Comstock's very broad definition of the term — which he and his associates successfully lobbied the United States Congress to incorporate in the Comstock Law.[citation needed]
In Azerbaijan, when a modified Latin alphabet was adopted, books published in Arabic script were burned, especially in the late 1920s and 1930s.[5] The texts were not limited to the Quran; medical and historical manuscripts were also destroyed.[6]
Book burnings were organised regularly in Nazi Germany in the 1930s by stormtroopers to destroy degenerate works, especially by Jewish authors such as Thomas Mann, Karl Marx and Albert Einstein.
In the 1950s over six tons of books by William Reich were burned in the U.S. under judicial orders.[7]
The advent of the digital age has resulted in an immense collection of written work being catalogued exclusively or primarily in digital form. The intentional deletion or removal of these works has been often referred to as a new form of book burning.[citation needed]
Some supporters have celebrated book burning cases in art and other media. Such is the bas-relief by Giovanni Battista Maini of The Burning of Heretical Books over a side door on the façade of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, which depicts the burning of 'heretical' books as a triumph of righteousness.[8]
Notable book burnings and destruction of libraries[edit]
Burnings by authors[edit]
In 1588, the exiled English Catholic William Cardinal Allen wrote "An Admonition to the Nobility and People of England", a work sharply attacking Queen Elizabeth I. It was to be published in Spanish-occupied England in the event of the Spanish Armada succeeding in its invasion. Upon the defeat of the Armada, Allen carefully consigned his publication to the fire, and we only know of it through one of Elizabeth's spies, who had stolen a copy.[9]
The Hassidic Rabbi Nachman of Breslov is reported to have written a book which he himself burned in 1808. To this day, his followers mourn "The Burned Book" and seek in their Rabbi's surviving writings for clues as to what the lost volume contained and why it was destroyed.[10]
Carlo Goldoni is known to have burned his first play, a tragedy called Amalasunta, when encountering unfavorable criticism.
Joe Shuster, who together with Jerry Siegel created the fictional superhero Superman, in 1938 burned the first Superman story when under the impression that it would not find a publisher.[citation needed]
Books saved from burning[edit]
When Virgil died, he left instructions that his manuscript of the Aeneid was to be burnt, as it was a draft version with uncorrected faults and not a final version for release. However, this instruction was ignored.
In Catholic hagiography, Saint Vincent of Saragossa is mentioned as having been offered his life on condition that he consign Scripture to the fire; he refused and was martyred. He is often depicted holding the book which he protected with his life.
Before his death, Franz Kafka wrote to his friend and literary executor Max Brod: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread."[11] Brod overrode Kafka's wishes, believing that Kafka had given these directions to him, specifically, because Kafka knew he would not honour them – Brod had told him as much. Had Brod carried out Kafka's instructions, virtually the whole of Kafka's work – except for a few short stories published in his lifetime – would have been lost forever. Most critics, at the time and up to the present, justify Brod's decision.
A similar case concerns the noted American poet Emily Dickinson, who died in 1890 and left to her sister Lavinia the instruction of burning all her papers. Lavinia Dickinson did burn almost all of her sister's correspondences, but interpreted the will as not including the forty notebooks and loose sheets, all filled with almost 1800 poems; these Lavinia saved and began to publish the poems that year. Had Lavinia Dickinson been more strict in carrying out her sister's will, all but a small handful of Emily Dickinson's poetic work would have been lost.[12][13]
At the beginning of the Battle of Monte Cassino in the Second World War, two German officers—Viennese-born Lt.Col. Julius Schlegel (a Roman Catholic), and Captain Maximilian Becker (a Protestant)—had the foresight to transfer the Monte Cassino archives to the Vatican. Otherwise the archives – containing a vast number of documents relating to the 1500-years' history of the Abbey as well as some 1400 irreplaceable manuscript codices, chiefly patristic and historical – would have been destroyed in the Allied air bombing which almost completely destroyed the Abbey shortly afterwards. Also saved by the two officers' prompt action were the collections of the Keats-Shelley Memorial House in Rome which had been sent to the Abbey for safety in December 1942.
In France in the 1940s a group of anti-fascist exiles made a Library of Burned Books of all the books that Adolf Hitler had destroyed. This library contained copies of titles that were burned. These book burnings from the Nazis was an idea to help cleanse German culture of Jewish and foreign influences such as pacifist and decadent literature. The Nazis were going to make a "museum" of Judaism once the final solution was complete to house certain books that were saved by the Nazis themselves.[14]
Sikh book burning[edit]
In the Sikh religion, any copies of their sacred book Guru Granth Sahib which are too badly damaged to be used, and any printer's waste which bears any of its text, are cremated. Such a cremation is called Agan Bhet, and is similar to that performed when cremating a deceased Sikh.[15][16][17][18]
In literature[edit]
- A much-quoted line in Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita is "manuscripts don't burn" (Russian: рукописи не горят). "The Master", a major protagonist in the book, is a writer who is plagued by both his own mental problems and the oppression of Stalin's regime in 1930s Moscow. He burns his treasured manuscript in an effort to hide it from the Soviet authorities and cleanse his own mind from the troubles the work has brought him. The character Woland (a mysterious magician who is, in fact, Satan) later gives the manuscript back to him, saying, "Didn't you know that manuscripts don't burn?" There is an autobiographical element reflected in the Master's character here, as Bulgakov in fact burned an early copy of The Master and Margarita for much the same reasons.
- The first part of Don Quixote has a scene in which the priest and the housekeeper of the eponymous knight go through the chivalry books that have turned him mad. In a kind of auto de fe, they burn most of them. The comments of the priest express the literary tastes of the author, though he offers some sharp criticisms of Cervantes's works as well. It is notable that he saves Tirant lo Blanc.
- At the conclusion of the novel "Auto da Fe" by Nobel-Prize winner Elias Canetti, the bibliophile protagonist immolates himself on a pile of his own library.
- The Japanese novel Toshokan Sensou is about the conflict between two military organizations after the Japanese government passed a law that allows the censorship of any media deemed to be potentially harmful to Japanese society, including book burning.
- The short story "Earth's Holocaust" from Nathaniel Hawthorne's Mosses from an Old Manse, is about a society that burns everything that it finds offensive, including its literature. Special attention is paid to The Bible as the last book burned:
- "Upon the blazing heap of falsehood and worn-out truth--things that the earth had never needed, or had ceased to need, or had grown childishly weary of--fell the ponderous church Bible, the great old volume that had lain so long on the cushion of the pulpit, and whence the pastor's solemn voice had given holy utterance on so many a Sabbath day."
- In Part II of the play Tamburlaine, by Christopher Marlowe, Tamburlaine (the protagonist) burns a copy of the Qur'an after having conquered Asia Minor and Egypt. His book-burning and declaration of independence from any deity leads to his fatal illness, and subsequently the end of the play.
- In Anne of Green Gables, Anne watches in horror as her caretaker burns her book containing the poem "Lady of Shallot" as punishment for reading instead of doing her chores.
- Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel where books are outlawed and it is the job of a "fireman" to burn them. In the introduction of the 1967 Simon and Schuster book club edition, Bradbury implies that the Nazi book burnings drove him to write the short story "The Fireman" which was the precursor along with the foundation for his novel Fahrenheit 451, stating, "It follows then that when Hitler burned a book I felt it as keenly, please forgive me, as his killing a human, for in the long sum of history they are one and the same flesh."[citation needed]
- At the conclusion of Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose", the unique Medieval library which is at the center of the book's plot is burned and totally destroyed.
- A central event in the fantasy novel Titus Groan is the burning of the library of Earl Sepulchrave, which was the earl's sole pleasure in life - leading to his madness and eventual death.
- Iain Pears's book The Dream of Scipio is set in Provence, with the lives of three people at various historical periods interweaving with each other. Each of these lives includes an incident of book burning with a crucial importance. Manlius Hippomanes, a gallic aristocrat living in the time of the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, makes cynical use of Christianity for personal power and instills religious intolerance and antisemitism in his followers - and after his death, these followers set up a bonfire and burn Hippomanes' entire library of Classical works, believing themselves to be honoring his precepts. Olivier de Noyen, a poet and scholar active in the 14th Century Papal Court at Avignon, had to watch his father burning his beloved copy of Cicero - but then de Noyen re-wrote it from memory, and the incident determined him to devote his life to finding and preserving the books of antiquity. Julien Barneuve, an intellectual active during the Second World War, realizes the disastrous results of his collaboration with the pro-Nazi Vichy government and burns himself to death in a hut - starting the fire by burning his own manuscript of a work praising Hippomanes and condemning de Noyen.
- In the future depicted in Brian Stableford's "The Halcyon Drift", one of the leading planets in the Galaxy is "New Alexandria", whose inhabitants are dedicated to the preservation and extension of knowledge, and are brought up to regard the destruction of books as the most heinous of deeds. Nevertheless, a protagonist agrees to help the Khor-Monsa, an alien species, in destroying books and records of their remote ancestors which were found in a drifting spaceship—since the books contained a shameful secret whose publication might have led to the present Khor-Monsa losing their social status and becoming targets of discrimination.
- In Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, the euphemistically-called "memory hole" is used to burn any book or written text which is inconvenient to the regime, and there is mention of "the total destruction of all books published before 1960".[citation needed]
- In Journey to the Center of the Earth the protagonist Axel suggests to his uncle, Professor Lindenbrock, that they should do more research on Arne Saknussemm and his works before attempting to duplicate Saknussemm's adventure into the center of the earth. Professor Lindenbrock tells Axel this is, regretfully, out of the question due to the fact that Saknussemm was out of favor with the leaders of his native country, who ordered all his books burned after his death.
- In The Book Thief, the protagonist, Liesel, attends a Nazi book burning ceremony. While there, she finds a book that has survived the fire and smuggles it home.
Film and television[edit]
- BBC Storyville: The Love of Books - A Sarajevo Story, is the documentary film of how a group of passionate intellectuals, professionals and book lovers risked their lives to save the Gazi Husrav-Beg Library from destruction during the siege of Sarajevo. This is a film about the importance of books, and how libraries are at the heart of cultural identity, being repositories for history and memory.
- In one episode of The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson sees a bookmobile being driven by Reverend Lovejoy, however the letters behind a tree reveal that it actually reads Book-Burning-Mobile.
- In one episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, in order to prevent Edward from getting information on the Philosopher's Stone, the homunculi burn down one section of the library.
- In the Myst series of computer games and books, the only way to destroy the link to an Age is to destroy its Descriptive Book, usually by burning it.
- In the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indiana Jones journeys to Berlin in order to retrieve his father's journal, which gives information about finding the Holy Grail. He retrieves it during a Nazi book burning rally (although it was not targeted for burning itself), where it is inadvertently signed by Hitler himself.
- In the Red Dwarf episode "Marooned", Lister burns Rimmer's collection of books to heat Starbug. Rimmer initially protests, saying "A book is a thing of beauty. The voice of freedom, the essence of civilisation." Lister counters, "Biggles Learns To Fly?"
- In the film Pleasantville, the people who are still black-and-white burn all the books in the library to keep people from becoming colored.
- The Crusade episode "The Needs of Earth" depicts a world that has burned its entire cultural heritage — all art, music, and literature — and hunts the person who has the last remaining copies.
- The 2002 film Equilibrium depicts a dystopian society which has eliminated human emotion, and burned all cultural influences that can cause emotion.
- In the 2004 disaster film The Day After Tomorrow, New York City is engulfed by a new Ice Age and characters seek shelter in the New York Public Library. To avoid freezing to death, the main character suggests burning books, much to the horror of two librarians.
- In the Family Guy episode "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven", Meg takes Brian to the church to burn books on science and evolution, citing them as "harmful to God". Among the burnt books are On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking, and a fictional book entitled Logic for First Graders.
- In a key scene of the film "Der alte und der junge König"(The Old and the Young King), a German Historical film made under Nazi rule in 1935, King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia is shown throwing into an open fire the beloved French-language books of his son, Crown Prince Friedrich (the future Friedrich II), as well as the Prince's flute. The film - banned after the fall of the Nazis as a piece of propaganda making manipulative use of history - presents this book burning as a positive and necessary act, which was needed in order to "educate" and "toughen up" the young prince, so as to "prepare him for becoming a great ruler".

Well I am going to be moving to Nova Scotia Canada and I am thinking of learning to surf.
However I was wondering if I am to big to surf? I currently snowboard and I used to skateboard until around 180lbs (started going through decks like a mad man).
I am 6'1" 240lbs, I am not a tub of lard persay I have strong arms and legs I just have a beer belly that is slowly going away.
So my only concern is if I can get a board that can float me, I would like to get something around the 7'6" mark but smaller is welcome as I only have a 4 door Chevy Epica so I have to be able to transport it safely.

The phrase "The girl next door" is in reference to the attainable, average, every-day gal. The girl next door is who you went to school with, who you played with, and who you can ask to dinner without a bodyguard coming out of the shadows to take you out. She is the type of girl that anyone has a chance with to date, is good-hearted and pleasant in nature.

Every guy may have his specific girl-next-door prototype, but in general, she's the girl whom you always admired from afar and were afraid to approach, fearing that any erotic projection toward her would ruin her image as a decent, pure and almost virginal womanly ideal.

"The Girl Next Door" would be your typical average girl yet a rare one amongst the thousands. She is the girl next door not because she lives just next door but because she is "The" girl next door. The girl who lives next to you not only in your physical world but inside you deep down in the heart.

The girl next door means a praiseworthy girl on her beautiness. No eyes could be down and returning back after seeing her and bond of extraordinary charm she must be. She must have attractive looks with her body figure. Characteristic of having male dominance ability and power with her.
The chances of seeing everyday to enjoy with her vigilance aside. Cute and burning of having power of making crazy to anyone so that she have been brought in highlight so that called the girl next door.
Posted by kukarad70 on June 22, 2011 at 8:32 PM (Answer #12)
What a fun question! I suppose each person in American society has his/her own image of that idiom. Quite simply, she is not the prettiest and not the smartest, ... but the one with the best values. She's the gal that the male teens don't necessarily want to date, ... but who the men (who used to BE those teens) all want to marry.
Posted by ms-charleston-yawp on July 17, 2011 at 4:31 AM (Answer #13)
This is a little late but, the girl next door is the girl that you consider a friend, someone you may never have looked at in a romantic way and thought you had no romantic feelings for, but she was great to play with and share with. She may not even live next door in proximity, but your parents and her parents were good friends and you all hang out together- picnics, ball games, school functions, church - and then one day she got a boyfriend and your eyes were opened and you found out that you were in love with her and have been since first grade - you tell her - she laughs at you and thinks you are just kidding because you never seemed to have a serious bone in your body when it came to her. She's the girl next door.
Posted by granny54 on September 20, 2011 at 2:55 PM (Answer #15)
The Girl Next door is a phrase meaning a girl you knew since childhood and afraid of approaching to say your feelings. It also means just friends with a girl. The phrase can be real as well!

Games, as I mentioned in a previous article, are the unquestioned staple that have brought the masses to computing. More man years have been wasted playing solitaire or other games over the last decade than on most other non-productive pursuits. Obviously, this is not why computers are so popular with business. Originally, spreadsheets were the reason for computers. Later, databases also provided a lot of the impetus for buying systems (at least the larger systems; smaller systems were used primarily for word processing). Today, with most companies enjoying Internet connections, most employees of almost any size business will tell you they use their systems mostly for e-mail. From senior management to secretaries, e-mail has redefined how companies do business. This also applies to individuals. You can send just about anything via e-mail, including money. So I'll devote half of this article to e-mail. In fact, I could devote several articles to e-mail, so I'll restrict this to some of the better new MUAs (Mail User Agent) I've found.
neomail: http://www.sourceforge.net/neomail/
With neomail, you can read your mail in a web browser (secure server) if you want. It has support for an address list, and you can specify how large (in KB) the list can be to keep users from getting carried away. You can import a comma-separated value (.csv) file into the address list, which is handy if you're coming from Outlook or Netscape Mail. With this MUA, if you can connect to the Internet, you can read, compose, delete, forward, file and generally handle your mail. It requires Apache, Perl, suidperl, Perl CGI module and sendmail or exim.
cscmail: http://cyberdeck.org/cscmail/
This particular mail client claims to be a clone of Outlook Express. I've never used OE, so I don't know if it lives up to that claim, but it is a well-done mail client that includes drag and drop, easy filters for sorting, mail folders, address lists and more—all in a Perl-GTK wrapper. The most difficult part was installing the Gtk::Perl module, which requires you to build the main part and several subparts. It requires gtk, GtkXmHTML, Perl and the following Perl modules: DBI, Text::CSV_XS, SQL::Statement, DBD::CSV, DateManip, Mail::Sender, HTML::Parser, Gtk::Perl and Mail::POP3Client.
Twig: http://screwdriver.net/twig/
Twig does a very good job with mail. But Twig does more than just mail, it also attempts to be a Personal Information Manager (PIM) by providing you with a Contacts list, a Schedule, a ToDo list, Bookmarks and access to News servers. The schedule is an appointment list and provides a small calendar on the side. Within Twig, you can create groups for information sharing. This does a very nice job for an office or workgroup and includes support for various databases. It requires MySQL (or Postgres or Oracle) and Apache with PHP3 that includes support for IMAP.
AeroMail: http://the.cushman.net/reverb/aeromail/
AeroMail is a very spartan mail reader that will allow you to read, compose, file and delete messages, but very little more. No address books or contact lists are included—it's simply fast and efficient. If you don't want to give your users space for an address book, you'll like this mail client. It requires Apache with PHP3 that includes support for IMAP.
tnef: world.std.com/~damned/tnef-latest.tar.gz
Bugged by those absurd, non-standard tnef files Microsoft likes to pollute e-mail with? This little utility will allow you to read them if you're wondering what's in there. It requires glibc.
apachedb: http://www.goofy.gaudi.dhs.org/
Need something to track usage of your website(s)? apacheDB allows you to register all hits in a MySQL database and uses PHP3 to query the database for agents, hits, referrers, usage and more. You can convert your present access_log into the database and continue from there, if you wish. It displays hits graphically as well as numerically. You may need to make some small modifications to the script if you don't use the combined logs, but the author has some examples. Your marketdroids will love this tool, and your CFO will like the price. It requires MySQL, Apache with PHP3 support, Perl, Perl modules DBI, DBI::DBD and Entry.
mozart: sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2466
Mozart is a start on a PIM. While not all areas are completely functional, and some work needs to be done on aesthetics, the major areas are all in place. This PIM is designed to be used by a group and currently supports Contacts, Calendar, ToDo list and Appointments. It requires a web server with PHP support, MySQL and a web browser.
MultiNet: http://users.capitolonline.nl/~nlco5954/multinet/
Do you carry a laptop back and forth between home and work? Both sites have their own network? Both have different network setups? If you answered yes to the above questions, you might want to check out MultiNet. This little utility takes care of configuring (or reconfiguring) the network for you. It will at least save you manual configuration of each location. Can be launched from a command line or from your rc scripts at bootup. It requires /bin/sh and dialog (slated for rewrite in Perl).
wakeup: http://soul.apk.net/wakeup/
This small utility will provide you with a wakeup call at the time of your choosing, to the music of your choice. Provided, of course, you have an MP3 for it to play. It requires Perl, mpg123 and at.

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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

A word from Riverview
Located directly on the shore of the East River at the Avalon in Long Island City, Riverview Restaurant commands the most spectacular views of New York City's skyline. Directly facing the United Nation with Citicorp Center, Trumps International Hotel and the Queensboro Bridge to the north and the
Chrysler and Empire State Building to the south, Riverview is unmistakably, " A Room with a View".

Diner Reviews
The place was great. My GF had
never had Filet Mignon and now she is hooked. The service was ok although my waiter was hard to find at times. The one aspect I was caught off guard with was the pre fix dinner menu for the night. All in all I def would go back."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We booked on open table but found
out the day of that there was only 1 prefixed menu unfortunately we did not stay since it's our first time there . We would be charged $95 per person. The waitress stated that it mention it on their website and I checked later that evening and it wasn't ."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Had a great course pre fixe
menu... very tasty and server was excellent!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food is decent but over priced.
The manager is a joke and service is horrible. It was the worst restaurant experience I ever had. I was treated horribly on Valentine's day by the staff but this is regular. If you read reviews online you will see that tony the owner doesn't know anything about his business and its really just a horrible establishment. Please don't go here their is plenty of great restaurant s in LIC. I work in the area and this place is always empty. What is amazing is they are still in business. They probably just need a different owner though."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We were not told that our only
option was a $95 per person Valentine's meal. But the main issue was the way in which they treated us as we left. Totally unapologetic and totally rude. We ended up somewhere else which was fine but I was very frustrated the rest of our night from having wasted time and money ($7 for drinking a sip of their water)"
Dined on 2/14/2014
We went late on a post snow
Friday. I thought it was an upscale, high end place. We were one of 4 tables there. The hostess never alerted wait staff and I had to get up to flag a waiter. After that experience was better. Our waiter Carlos was attentive and the food was very good. I just felt the name of the place was misleading. I certainly couldn't see the river from my table. They said summer is excellent with outside tables, but I just don't quite see it. So if u want good food in a comfortable setting, I recommend. If u want spectacular views, I might try some place else or atleast go in the summer."

Visiting from Australia with two
friends of mine, my mum had arranged to pay for our entire bill as a gift (as a surprise for us). When we arrived at our table, Hassan, the owner of the restaurant, came out and introduced himself and said that they were happy to help us and that they could arrange for us anything on the menu (regardless of the set menu; we were there Christmas day), which was so lovely of them. They really looked after us and we could not have had a better Christmas dinner experience in New York. The food was amazing, the staff attentive and so friendly. Also the view of Manhattan & the water was amazing! I really recommend this place to anyone. Fantastic."
Dined on 12/25/2013
we reserved this place quite last
minute for a group of 10 people. The food was outstanding! Great NYE menu - really enjoyed the Tiramisu, the lemon sole, and the arugula salad (the dressing was so yummy). The service though was very mediocre - maybe because it was NYE and they were getting ready for prepping the place for a party afterwards. The view was great of course. Would come back again."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Medium restaurant with good food
and service but not outstanding. Great view on East River and Manhattan. Really overpriced, we had a xmas menu for 3 adults and 2 kids for 235 USD! Better go for a walk and eat somewhere else..."
Dined on 12/25/2013
Food was not terrible, but nothing
special. Beer list was super generic, wine was overpriced, and furniturchipped and rickety. Service was very friendly and attentive, though."
Dined on 12/25/2013
The only thing I didn't like was
the outside dining room, too cold"
Dined on 12/21/2013
Visited for special Thanksgiving
menu. Had a fantastic and varied menu. Skipped the turkey this year and went for Filet Mignon. Everything from end to end was well done, service was efficient. Always a good option in the neighborhood, whether ordering for delivery or dining at the restaurant itself. Great for outdoor eating in the spring/summer too!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
Great experience, terrific views
of Empire State building and Chrysler building at night, but the service was slow and not very attentive."
Dined on 11/28/2013
The food was great. I loved the
scallops and rack of lamb. My husband enjoyed his filet. The service began sub-par but did improve toward the end. We were initially seated outside on the street, which is great during the summertime as the view is amazing BUT this was in the middle of November and very cold outside. The heating lamps just weren't providing enough heat to make a difference. We had to be very persuasive to the waiter and hostess to let us sit inside as the inner room was not full despite the claim from the hostess that the whole room was pre-booked by patrons for the same time frame. In the end, we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner inside a nice, warm, and clean atmosphere. Thanks so much!"
Dined on 11/28/2013
The wait staff was friendly and
fast as well as knowledgeable. They made great suggestions. The ambiance and atmosphere was great. I would recommend this place to my friends."
Dined on 11/23/2013
Location on the water is great for
family brunch. There is a nice playground around the corner. Restaurant is nicely spread out, so there is room for kids to spread out! Brunch menu was fine, but food was bland, bland, bland! The children's menu had nice stuff -- fish and chips, French toast. The main part of the menu being omelets and different types of eggs benedict, all served with really bland potatoes -- no spice no flavor. They should ditch those and give the excellent fries that came with the fish and chips instead. The menu and the vibe was more about going through the motions of brunch as an afterthought, rather than really making things appetizing. The good news is that it could easily be improved, and the location is great!"
Dined on 11/10/2013
A gem of LIC. The staff was very
attentive even as the restaurant became crowded. The food especially the rib-eye steak which was a special of the night was amazing. I kept taking bites off my husband's plate. The beet salad with goat cheese was also very good. We're planning on having our engagement party here. It was that good and the private room in front of the city view was just the icing."
Dined on 10/27/2013
The Good: We had a nice glass of
Riesling. My girlfriend enjoyed her Seafood Fettuccini. The bad: I ordered a steak for $26, requested medium rare, it came out completely grey. They did however cook up a new one. Overall the value isn't very good. Overpriced food for a sub-par experience. The restaurant is huge and was empty on a Friday night. That should have been a clue to me. The large empty space did not provide a warm atmosphere. For the price I would have rather just gone somewhere nicer in Manhattan."
Dined on 10/19/2013
Great brunch ! Outstanding way to
start a week ! Food was delicious and music great !!"
Dined on 10/6/2013
The food was ok , I had the salmon
but im not sure if it could have been any better due to the fact i had the queens restaurant pre fixed menu. My fiance and i had the crab cake,calamari and steak. They were pretty good but the calamari could have been alot better as in quality wise it was also room temp when i got it. The steak was satisfying and the desserts was very delicious and beautifully presented. Maybe the regular menu is better that was presented there would have been a better choice? I dont know weather to go back or not. I do have to say the waiters were very polite,always came to refill my water and didnt come to the table unless was asked. its always good to be in a restaurant and not feel rushed. THANKYOU FOR THAT!"
Dined on 10/2/2013
We moved to LIC a year ago and
this is the first time we've been to the River View. I'm glad we've been spending our time elsewhere. We chose this location because we had guests and wanted to sit outside/enjoy the view & weather. We enjoyed the outdoors. The service was EXTREMELY slow and the wait staff wasn't very attentive. The food was average and we paid a lot more to get a lot less quality than elsewhere in the neighborhood. My rose wine came out almost warm. When my meal came, it included ingredients I'm highly allergic to and I had to send it back-but it still appeared on the bill (maybe my fault as I didn't argue with them about it).A decent place if you want to relax outdoors and don't mind paying a lot for average food."
Dined on 9/7/2013
It was a great place. They called
the day of the reservation to confirm and check if I wanted outdoor seating or if in door was fine. As much as I would have liked outdoor I wanted to make it easier on the staff and they recommended indoor My friends got there before me and were allowed to be seated. I arrived soon after and was seated right away. The hostess was friendly and quick to help all patrons. Their menu is more on the fine dining side, but the prices are quite reasonable. Food was great, although there was some question over the steak. One friend got medium rare but felt it was a little cold and another got well done and had burnt pieces. It wasn't disastrous since they enjoyed it."
Dined on 8/25/2013
We were a little skeptical to eat
here because of mixed reviews but decided that we wanted to have dinner outside on a beautiful summer night. I made the reservations ans wasn't expecting more than a so so meal with a beautiful view. I have to say we were surprised. The service was good and so was the food. We would definitely go back. I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it as much inside and might chose another smaller cafe in LIC in the cooler weather."
Dined on 8/18/2013
Fish dishes refused to be
deboned Mussels should be served with a magnifying glass because they are so small. Waiter never came back with drink reorder Waiter totally aloof. Front of restaurant might as well have been sitting on the ferry terminal opposite the restaurant Get the idea? To many other choices in LIC to waist money there."
Dined on 8/3/2013
Could not be happier with the
food, service and overall Riverview experience"
Dined on 7/5/2013
First of all, I want to say that
it is a great place for the view of the city and the overall atmosphere of the place. Servers were very attentive and helpful. I order a seafood risotto which was a bad choice on my part because there was a lot more seafood then I expected. But if I were a seafood lover, that would be a great plate to order. My date had the lobster ravioli which was great. Overall, I recommend this for anyone looking to go on a romantic/pleasant date, especially during the nighttime when you can enjoy the NYC Skyline."
Dined on 6/29/2013
Fantastic! Great Service Great
People ! and very welcoming! I came here for my birthday i come ocassionally for the cucumber drink as well but overall all the time its great! There was a platter i always had but wasnt onthe menu but when asked the waiter new exactly what i wanted."
Dined on 6/1/2013
Not really a view. Bad service
they took too long and didn't speak English. Food was not great."
Dined on 6/17/2013
Horrible service. Our waiter went
home. The manager apologized but the food never came out. It is a shame, because the food (when it finally was served), was very good. I will never go back. The management and wait staff will run this place to the ground."
Dined on 6/16/2013
Service was marked down a notch
because I notified three people that I had an Open Table reservation and I still was never credited in the system as having been there. This was not the first time this has happened at Riverview. However, the food was good, in particular the dumpling appetizer and the duck entree. There is also a great view when dining outside."
Dined on 5/30/2013
We had a very affordable and well
prepared meal in a very pleasant setting. Overall a wonderful evening and we will return."
Dined on 5/17/2013
Wonderful seafood well prepared
and the outside dining with the spectacular Manhattan skyline was fantastic! Nice walk along the riverwalk as well!"
Dined on 5/17/2013
I went for Mother's Day and will
never return. The restaurant had a prefix overprice menu that included a limited selection. In addition to that they were not prepared, they ran out of all desserts and some appetizers so the choices were close to nonexistent. Service was poor but they manage to hit you with an 20% gratuity automatically added to your check. I don't recommend this place especially when there are so many other options for your money."
Dined on 5/12/2013
The riverview barely had views of
the river. It's not what I expected and was a little disappointed. The food was decent, the service was slow. Wasn't horrible but I wouldn't go back."
Dined on 5/12/2013
Overall great experience. However,
perhaps due to the fact that it was Mother's Day service extremely was slow. Also, we were in front of the door which cause our large party to be cold and impatient."
Dined on 5/12/2013
Servers were stand offish and
service was very slow. Very overpriced for the poor quality of food."
Dined on 5/12/2013
I have been to Riverview several
times and have found the food to be excellent. As this was dinner service, the lighting was perfect and the mood was relaxed. The music was a bit loud but you could still carry a conversation across the table. Overall a great dinner, prices were and are quite within reason, and the only issue we came upon was the bill. Apparently a mixup in price of wine between the menu and their computer was resolved quickly, an apology was given and all was well. I make it a habit of always double checking the bill and it paid off this time. Yes, I will continue to frequent Riverview."
Dined on 5/11/2013
Medium steak was rare; had I
return it to the kitchen. Roasted chicken was bland. Halibut and chocolate cake dessert were both great."
Dined on 5/10/2013
Food, view and ambience were good
but the service was terribly slow. When we arrived the place was almost empty and it took 20 minutes to get the drinks we ordered."
Dined on 5/1/2013
Service and atmosphere were good,
the food didnt 'wow' anybody over"

Aktimate's Desktop Mini
Although I didn't get a chance to audition themRoy Hall tried to ply me and just about everyone present with Scotch or something to get me to linger, but this extremely moderate drinker decided I could do a better job if I didn't stumble from room to room, dragging cables behind meI was quite intrigued by the AktiMate Mini ($695/pair) in the Music Hall room. This Australian baby, engineered by folks from Creek Audio and Epos, is an active speaker, similar to the popular AudioEngines, and the master unit is equipped with an iPod dock as well as stereo RCA phono and mini-jack inputs. There is even an RCA stereo out to enable connection to a subwoofer, as well as a volume remote.
The newer AktiMate Maxi ($999) includes an internet radio, internal Wi-Fi capability, FM radio, three auxiliary inputs, iPod dock, and a USB host socket that accommodates music sticks and MP3 players. It even has an alarm clock (though it won't warm your coffee in the morning), and is equipped to play your computer's music files via Airport Express.
