Unpacked and back, but Microsoft is still here
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can, and give them my regards because I can't make it this year :-(
For those few of you who might have missed this blog, I do apologize. As many of you know, I have moved about three miles down the road to beautiful downtown Felton, about a half-mile south of the traffic light on Highway 9 — say it with me: "That enough directions for Felton." It has taken me fairly close to a month to unpack and sort out the new place; unpacking included taking things out of boxes, asking "Do I really need this?" And then putting away what I do need and taking what I don't to the Abbot's Thrift Store down the street.
But enough about me.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols recently wrote a piece on ZDNet that has caused some brouhaha in Linux and FOSS circles. It's a classic tempest-in-a-teapot issue: Microsoft — horrors! — is one of the top five corporate contributors to Linux kernel development and, if you just read the headline, it implies that Microsoft is fifth on the list top contributors.
Well, to paraphrase Paul Harvey (you'll have to google him, kids), here's the rest of the story: Microsoft is fifth on the list of corporate contributors to the Linux kernel and 15th overall on the list. They're behind Red Hat, Intel, Novell and IBM on the corporate list, and 15th overall.
While SJVN aptly outlines the scenario which causes Microsoft to come to the table — virtualization — what is not said, but stands out, to me is that between the four corporate contributors ahead of Microsoft and the 15th overall position that Microsoft holds are 10 non-corporate contributors to the kernel, meaning for all intents and purposes, individuals who are working for the greater good and not for some corporate benefit that Linux provides.
I have not had a chance to see the original article on Linux Weekly News from which SJVN bases his column, thanks to not having a subscription. But I would be interested to see who and what is ranked where.
[Also, I'm not going anywhere near remotely bringing up where Canonical is on the list of corporate contributors to the Linux kernel. Uh uh. Not me. No way.]
Of course the FUDmeisters are spinning this for all it's worth – Stop the presses! Microsoft a top Linux kernel contributor! — but SJVN puts it all in perspective and while it's certainly decent of the corporate giant from Redmond to help improve Hyper-V and Linux interoperability, it's not a sign of the apocalypse by any matter of means.
However, as one comment to SJVN's post points out, you don't turn your back on a coiled snake.

Transcript: Larry Cafiero's press conference
Linux for the GNU South – Attend if you can.
Editor's note: On a cloudy Monday in Felton, California, Larry Cafiero held a press conference at the solar-powered Felton Fire Station for the purpose of clarifying his departure from the Fedora Project and to dispel any of the rumors that had been flying around regarding this departure.
A transcript of the press conference follows:
Larry Cafiero: (to himself moreso than the press, as he sits down behind a bank of microphones) Okay, let's light this candle.
LC: Before we start, I have a statement to read and then, obviously, I'll take questions.
As many of you know, I recently resigned my office as a member of the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee (FAmSCo), my position as a Fedora Ambassador mentor and my membership in the Fedora Project. As I had confided in some of the Fedora leadership a few months ago, I had been planning to relinquish much of my responsibilities in Fedora after OSCON in order to pursue other FOSS projects that I will outline later. I had decided recently to advance the date of my departure. Having been a part of the Fedora Project since 2008, I am proud to have served with a number of outstanding individuals, and some not so outstanding, and I still believe that the Fedora Project is the standard by which FOSS projects should be judged. I am still a Fedora user, first and foremost, despite no longer being part of the project.
I'll be glad to take questions now.
Reporter: A blog called the Fifth Pillar speculates that you'll be doing a variety of work with other projects — OMGUbuntu and Gentoo to name two. Even the possibility of drumming for Jono Bacon's band Severed Fifth was mentioned. Any truth to these rumors?
LC: I saw that blog item by my good friend Mark Terranova. No, there is no truth to any of those rumors, though truth be told I think I could jam with Jono and, probably unknown to Mark, I do play the acoustic Theremin in various folk jam bands. As for Gentoo, that's a joke since it's known far and wide that I've never been able to get that distro to run since I started using Linux in 2006.
Ultimately, it's my fault that these rumors got started. One of the things I want to apologize for is how I handled notifying people about my departure, because I really fumbled it badly. To be honest, I didn't think my departure would matter to anyone outside of those who had an administrative interest in my leaving — those who needed to reassign my duties and replace me on FAmSCo. But apparently a lot of other people who I should have told felt they were left in the dark. While I don't mean to sound egotistical, I did get a lot of "Hey, what happened?" e-mails after resigning, and I want to apologize to those who were wondering what was going on.
If I had a chance to do it over again, I would have contacted more people to let them know my plans. But here we are, with the barn door open and the horse prancing in the field.
Reporter: To follow up on this one, in the OMGUbuntu graphic, it has you as Yoda calling Mark Shuttleworth a "clown." Does this reflect your dislike for Shuttleworth or Ubuntu?
LC: No. I don't dislike Mark Shuttleworth or Ubuntu. Let me give you the short- and long-versions behind this aspect of the story. I made a comment on Facebook on a photo of Linux Pro Magazine's associate publisher Rikki Kite with Mark Shuttleworth to the effect of, "Nice picture, Rikki, but who's that clown next to you?" Or something like that. Mostly harmless, and completely tongue-in-cheek. I think Mark Terranova ran with that, referring to a dust-up I had last year with many Ubunteros and Mark Shuttleworth over a blog item I wrote about pointing out another item regarding how much — or actually, how little — Canonical/Ubuntu contributes back to the community in the way of technical support, as well as Mark Shuttleworth's response to my blog posting.
Because I am critical of some aspects of Ubuntu does not mean I dislike it, or the community. I have used Ubuntu in the past and my daughter is an Ubuntu user. I would say I have differences of opinion on some aspects of how things are done in Ubuntu — regarding how LoCos promote a "separate but equal" policy in keeping LUGs at arm's length, for example — but I appreciate, deeply appreciate, Canonical and Ubuntu's artesian contribution to the promotion — the promotion — of Linux. However I don't think this gives them a pass when their contributions back to the kernel development, for example, are woefully lacking. In other words, I don't tell the emperor he's got great clothes when he's wearing nothing at all.
Also, I like Mark Shuttleworth and I think he's an interesting guy. Anyone who puts his efforts to the degree that Mark does behind FOSS is OK with me, to say the least. Besides, he's been to space. The closest I've been to space is a Grateful Dead concert.
Reporter: You mention other FOSS project you're planning to work on. Which are they?
LC: I've been working on the Southern California Linux Expo for the last few years, and I want to devote more time to doing press work for it. I think SCALE has the potential to eclipse OSCON as the premiere West Coast Linux event. Also, I am jump-starting the Lindependence Project, and we'll hold another Lindependence event like we did in 2008 in Felton — only it will be held in conjunction with Software Freedom Day instead of on Independence Day.
One more thing: I have a Facebook app I am working on called Lifeville — so far, it's a simple script that, when you click on the start button, brings up a message that says: "Real life exists beyond this screen. Your computer is now shutting down. Go outside." It's GPLed and CC-licensed.
Reporter: I wonder if you can comment on this line taken from your statement — "some not so outstanding" — meaning, I assume, some people you may have had disagreements or friction with in the Fedora Project.
LC: Yes, I can, and thank you for bringing that up. So much for slipping that under the radar (laughter). Clearly, when you have a group that's as big as the Fedora community, not everyone is going to be dancing in unison around the proverbial May pole. With strong personalities comes strong disagreements — this is clearly a part of the process.
But since FUDCon, I have felt that there has been some discord in the project that has fostered a lot of ill will. One example of this is a movement started in Europe around "give back our distro" or something along those lines which, personally, I thought was a pitch in the dirt that a lot of Fedora folks who should know better were swinging at. Now I don't mind disagreeing, but I do mind having people be disagreeable, and those who know me know that, when provoked, I can be disagreeable with the best of them; Olympic-caliber disagreeable. I have to plead guilty to provoking some of the ill-feeling that this issue has fostered, and I am sorry about that. As a part of the leadership at the FAmSCo level, it was probably unacceptable for me to take such a strong stand against against this, despite how stupid I thought it was, and still think it is.
I think, too, there is a degree of burnout involved in my resignation, but much of that burnout was borne of having to do my duties and also participating in this discussions/debates/arguments that took a lot of valuable time and a lot of effort away from what I, and others, should have been doing.
Reporter: So in other words . . .
LC: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I wanted to add one more thing to this in order to give this a clearer context. As I mentioned in the statement, I believe that the Fedora Project does things right, whether it's engineering an outstanding distro every six months or whether it's promoting it through an Ambassador program that wrote the textbook on promoting a distro, or a Design team that is second to none. A great part of that is the solid community that drives Fedora, despite a handful of malcontents, and much of the credit can be given to Red Hat for their outstanding support. When a billion-dollar company like Red Hat "gets it" — that is, understands how FOSS works and how they clearly benefit from it — it provides a perfect symbiosis between Red Hat and the Fedora Project where those who are working in the Fedora Project reap the benefits of this relationship.
Reporter: Do you see yourself going back to the Fedora Project at any time in the future, or do you think that you'll catch on with another distro or FOSS program?
LC: I'd gladly return to the Fedora Project at some time in the future and, as I mentioned, I'm still primarily a Fedora user. One of the things that I'd also like to explore is being a community leader/organizer — or, like Red Hat's Karsten Wade, a "community gardener" — for a project that I believe in. But while my resume sits on the runway should something in this area come up, I'm still immediately focused on Lindependence and SCALE at the moment.
(Silence follows, with no further questions forthcoming).
LC: OK, so thank you all for coming, and thank you for staying awake.

Blog-free November
Larry the Free Software Guy — who doesn't really like to refer to himself in the third person, but would rather do that than start this a blog post with "I" — gave you all a gift with a blog-free November.
Sorry to yank that out from under you, because there's a lot going on in the FOSS world as we race into the commercially driven holiday season.
First things first:
Support Partimus: Six schools (so far) in the San Francisco Bay Area run GNU/Linux labs thanks to the efforts of Partimus, a nonprofit organization that provides repurposed computers running free software to students and schools which need them. Partimus is holding its first fundraising event on Dec. 15 from 5-7 at the Creative Arts Charter School, 1601 Turk St., in San Francisco. Register here, and even if you can't make it, donate anyway — be a benefactor and fill in what you can afford — since it's the kind of project that lifts FOSS and makes it more ubiquitous.
Sharpen your No. 2 pencils: In a little over a week, the Call for Presentations for the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 9X closes. December 13 is the deadline and if you're inclined to give a talk, submit your proposal here. Judging by the resounding success of my presentation at the Utah Open Source Conference, I have submitted an updated, new-and-improved version of "User Groups 2.0: Noob Morning in America" for SCALE. The laser show introduction is something that is not to be missed.
[Note: OK, so there's no laser show, but the presentation is a good one, in my humble estimation.]
Back home again in Indiana: Another expo that has arrived on the FOSS scene is the Indiana Linux Fest, which recently announced its dates and location. The inaugural Indiana Linux Fest will take place on March 25-27, 2011 at the Wyndham Indianapolis West hotel near the Indianapolis International Airport. The growing number of shows is a testament to FOSS's strength and growth, and for those in the area — or even if you feel like heading to Indianapolis in a month other than May — you can race on over for ILF.
Saluting the kernel: The Linux Foundation released its report on development of the Linux kernel, and Red Hat still leads on the corporate side of things. Red Hat contributed 23,356 changes to the kernel since the release of version 2.6.12 on June 17, 2005, according to the report amounting to 12.4 percent of the total. Among corporate contributors, Novell was next with 13,120 changes (7 percent), followed by IBM (13,026, or 6.9 percent) and Intel (11,028, or 5.8 percent). But the greatest number of changes, the report notes, was made by people who were classified as being of unknown affiliation (35,663, or 18.9 percent). Another category of developer, of "none" affiliation, also made a sizeable contribution – 12,060 changes or 6.4 percent.
[A certain corporate entity based in Malta seems to be missing from this report, and you can read the PDF verison of the report here and determine which one that might be.]
So, did you miss me?
There's a lot more where that came from and a lot of developments going forward. Watch this space.

The Bottom Line
- 'Bleeding Kansas' covers relatively unworn territory by describing life in a Kansas farm community
- The sheer number of characters makes the book confusing for the first few chapters
- The farmland near Lawrence, Kansas has a long history of neighbors relying on each other
- The Grelliers cherish their ancestors' story, but experience tension with their current neighbors
- A miracle calf born on a nearby farm brings religious extremists to this sheltered part of Kansas
- 'Bleeding Kansas' was first published by Putnam in 2008
Guide Review - 'Bleeding Kansas' by Sara Paretsky - Book Review
Susan Grellier, a mother and farmer, is fascinated by her ancestors', but eventually her passion for history turns into a disruptive focus on protesting the war in Iraq. Her husband, Jim, struggles to deal with their son, who resents the negative attention his mother draws to the family. Lara Grellier, the youngest child, copes with the beginning of high school and the feeling that she's being ignored by her family.
Bleeding Kansas tries to tie itself to the rhythms of life on the farm, and the book is divided into sections according to the seasons. While growth and harvesting play their roles in the novel, the narrative spends too little time on those aspects, jumping around instead from character to character, from farmland to town, and from history to present. By the conclusion of Bleeding Kansas, Paretsky's tale pulls the reader along swiftly, but there are too many digressions to make this a truly compelling read.

Vocabulary Learning on the NetBeans Platform
I am a software developer, entrepreneur, and student at the Free University of Bozen. I've created an application named MemorizEasy, which is a vocabulary learning application on the NetBeans Platform.
Though I grew up in Italy, I went to the english-language Cambridge International High School. I had to learn plenty of vocabulary to get along, while flashcards and time were not enough. My "new words" notebook was growing into an alphabetically-unsorted dictionary.
Then I started sticking the new words on my wall, so that I could look at them while brushing my teeth and every time I walked into the room. But the wall was not large enough!
What ended up working for me was to rotate the words such that I'd always have 28 words - 7 new words, 7 that were new 4 days ago, 7 a week ago, and 7 a month ago. This algorithm was very effective, yet labor intensive. I wondered if the computer could do a better job. Then, in Bozen, I had to learn German...
Here are some screenshots. The first shows the main window:
Vocabulary tests:
Vocabulary view with synonyms and meanings:
A mobile edition of the application is in the planning. However, the mobile edition is more of a companion edition to the desktop application. Users exercising their writing skills using the autocomplete editor (inherited from the NetBeans IDE) need to do so on their larger screens:
The sources of the application are here:
NetBeans Platform
I started thinking about using the NetBeans Platform when I was trying to provide the autocomplete feature for my JTextArea. I wondered how does NetBeans provide such a feature for Java? If only I could re-use its code...
Most useful about the NetBeans Platform is that everything you like in NetBeans IDE you can simply reuse. I totally ascribe to the notion of software re-use and that SE != plumbing. Plus, the window management system is phenomenal, and Maven support is on the rise.
At BarCamp Charleston, I recently presented a session entitled "SE != Plumbing" and invited the audience to learn about the NetBeans Platform, Maven, Java WebStart, and JPA2. I used Geertjan's plumbing pictures to illustrate the point and made the same sound argument: you should develop your application with domain knowledge. That your application has a consistent user-friendly window manager, which remembers the previous user configuration is not your business, but users expect it nonetheless. I found it important to distinguish the NetBeans Platform as a framework, from the NetBeans Platform as a set of libraries, to convince the skeptical attendees of the benefits of porting their application to the NetBeans Platform.
Tips for NetBeans Platform Newbies
As with all software engineering, iterative refinement through small steps is a winning strategy. There are plenty of NetBeans Platform tutorials that do very powerful things. Run them and tinker with them until you reach your expectations.
The NetBeans Platform is not about starting from scratch. Change names of classes at the end, but when you do so, check after each change to make sure the application still runs because you'll likely have to manually change the layer file, the module settings, as well as the POM files.
NetBeans Platform Wishlist
The improvements I'd like in the NetBeans Platform:
- I'd like to tinker less and less with layer.xml in favor of annotations. Thankfully, NetBeans is moving in that direction.
- More Maven support, but, because of Jesse Glick's recent work, NetBeans seems to be the most supportive IDE.
- Modules on demand. Right now my application is loaded with clusters full of modules I don't want. An example is the embedded browser, which shows up if a user clicks on a hyperlink. Fortunately I'm not alone: http://wiki.netbeans.org/DependencyBasedModuleIncludes.
The latter should move us farther from the NetBeans Platform, allowing NetBeans Platform code to be re-usable in web applications too.
Future of MemorizEasy
Instead of linear reference cards, I'd like to replace them with Mind Maps. In the absence of a module that generates mind maps (if anyone knows of any, please let me know) I've started writing my own using the Visual Library API.

@Alex: thank you for your positive feedback. I invite you discuss MemorizEasy specific issues with me directly, from here. It's by coincidence that I found your comments here!
To answer your NB question, no I didn't study NetBeans Platform at the university. In the universities I've been to professors where pro Eclipse and Browser-based apps. As mentioned in the article, I preached NB at BarCamp CHS (which took place at the College of Charleston).

Fire crews called to dog stuck in mud at the Hythe
Updated 1:09pm Saturday 8th February 2014 in News
FIREFIGHTERS have been called to rescue a dog which is stuck in the mud at the Hythe.
It appears the brown labrador fell 30 feet into the river and became trapped in mud on the bank.
The animal's owner had been preparing to go into the river to free the trapped dog before fire crews arrived.
The incident was dealt with by 11:53am.
Crews used lines and water rescue equipment to free the animal. The dog was left in the care of its owner.

colleagues and I hvae to say that the food did not live up to our expectations, especially at the price. We may have been unlucky, but you dont expect "off nights" from this levek of estabilshment. "
dined on 28/05/2014
Excellent food and service and a
real bargain for a set lunch at a 3 Michelin Stars restaurant. The service is attentive and unhurried."
dined on 28/05/2014
I had the 7 course tasting menu
with paired wines. The service was wonderfully informative and the staff were helpful and knowledgable. The food was faultless with special praise to the truffled chicken quenelles although every dish was superb. "
dined on 16/05/2014
starter, a caponata not better
than at my local italian trattoria, an overcooked sea bream, not enough bouillabaisse sauce and fennel extremely plain as a side... Dessert: a basic chocolate fondant . I felt I have been charge for the location, not for the food.... "

Wonderful meal with my family to
celebrate my 21st birthday. Food compatible with Gordon Ramsay's hospital road restaurant, but in a higher class setting. The lunch menu is good value for money. The service was curtious, professional and friendly yet not intrusive. Our last visit 10 months ago had been improved upon this time. Still one of the top 2 restaurants in London in my opinion. "
dined on 15/04/2014
Booked this place to celebrate my
partner's birthday 5 days ago. From the second we stepped in to the second we stepped out, we enjoyed every moment of it. The people working here are passionate, fun, knowledgeable and friendly. They are inspiring. Food wise is amazing. We ordered a 7 course tasting menu and a 4 course menu. Each dish was flawless, cooked to perfection. We summed up the night with a visit to the kitchen and had a short conversation with their friendly and professional Executive Chef, Jocelyn Herland. For anyone who has the money to spend, this is the place. Thank you for the lovely experience and yes, without a second thought, I will definitely be back. :-)"
dined on 08/04/2014
Very special, with great food and
fantastic service. Well worth a visit for a special occassion, the staff will make their utmost to make it a night to remember."
dined on 02/04/2014
I tried their Truffle Menu and it
was all the great ingredients with extra salt. It was lots of salt in the sause, in the soup, on the truffle flakes, basiclly everywhere. The dishes are very good except for the extra salt in them so overall it cannot be said as bad but I don't understand how they are qualified as 3-star."
dined on 04/03/2014
I put too much expectation on a
three michelin star restaurant. the urchin as the starter disappointed me, it tasted weird and fishy, not as fresh as i expected. however, the main course lobster was really good, nicely cooked. the dessert hazelnut soufflé was a good choice too, not too sweet and the texture is so good! love it"
dined on 27/02/2014
Excellent set lunch and great
value for the delicious food and wine with such lovely service and setting."
dined on 26/02/2014
Having eaten at several fine
dining establishments ranging from 1 to 3 stars, our expectation was high for Alain Ducaase. How disappointing it was. With the 7 course tasting menu at £125.00 & wine pairings at £140.00 each, we anticipated a magnificent culinary journey we have previously experienced in so many other restaurants. The Iris Sea Urchin was sublime, a veritable triumph but that was where it ended. Average food, average service,definitely not worth its 3 Stars. Story Restaurant, Viajante, Le Manoir Aux Quat'saisons, Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley, L'Enclume and The Fat Duck to name but a few we have dined at leave Alain Ducasse way down on our list of return journeys. Focus on your food, not solely on your name and location."
dined on 20/02/2014
For a three star I didn't feel it
lived up to others in the world I have been before. Typically I am used to service from a team but a team I can understand- sommelier, server, busser... but we were served by different sommeliers during the same bottle of wine. It left us feeling not the attention that we had expected. The food was good but we not blown away by anything. It was a good experience and happy we tried it but we opt for another experience in the future."
dined on 30/01/2014
From the moment we arrived we were
treated like royalty. The ambiance of the restaurant was breathtaking, the food and wines delicious. We chose the fixed price lunch.....excellent afternoon..it was our first visit and we have already booked to go again."
dined on 29/01/2014
Every single thing about this
lunch was perfect. An experience we shall remember."
dined on 29/01/2014
We went for lunch, which was very
good value for the quality of food, but the thing I find most impressive about this place is the service. Every time I have been, the service has been impeccable. However, the sommelier came across as being a bit rude to begin with, but warmed up. Not ideal, but it didn't bother me that much and didn't take away from a lovely lunch."
dined on 29/01/2014
Food was not as good as I expect
three star michilin restaurant.food is so so,chicken I had is pretty dry.desert only had a bite."
dined on 28/01/2014
Very impressive - service and food
were outstanding. Unpretentious, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait to re-visit!"
dined on 24/01/2014
We went here on 23/1/14. We had
the Seasonal Tasting menu with wine parings. Two dishes were particularly bad. One was their lobster course. The lobster was great, but the potatoes were absolutely soaked in salt. They were as revolting as accidentally getting a mouthful of sea water whilst swimming in the ocean. We asked the waiter if the Chef had tasted these - but no response. The next course had a similar issue. The mushrooms were again soaked in salt. It was clear to us that the kitchen was not tasting the food. We mentioned this again, and this time the message seemed to get back to the Chef, and we received a complimentary dessert. Still, for a meal over £700 for two of us, I would not go back or recommend to friends."
dined on 23/01/2014
Went for the set lunch menu. A
Wonderful three course meal with excellent bread, perfectly paired wine and impeccable service. All for £55 which felt like paying $100 for a first class flight across the Atlantic! All considered probably the best value meal I have ever paid for."
dined on 23/01/2014
What a wonderful place to eat. The
food was magnificent, the service was excellent. We couldn't fault anything. We were so full, we couldn't even finish the lovely chocolates. We would recommend Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester for special occasions. The special lunch deal (three courses, with 2 glasses of wine) for £55.00 was good value, as we got little 'tasters', chocolates, macaroons, chocolate covered almonds and nougat! The Hotel is beautiful too."
dined on 22/01/2014
I took my best friend to this
wonderful restaurant, in celebration of her birthday - a reciprocal visit as she had treated me to lunch there for my 60th birthday just over a year ago. If we had thought then that the wonderful experience on that occasion could not be repeated, we were wrong - everything, from the moment we arrived and were led to our table near the window, was marvelous and we spent 4 happy hours there. The service, quality of food and decor is, in our opinion, unsurpassable and we will be celebrating many more 'special' occasions there in years to come."
dined on 22/01/2014
For me this wasn't a lunch place.
I am sure dinner atmosphere is better. Set lunch menu is extremely good value. Food was good but not that amazingly outstanding. I have wanted to go to Ducasse for years and was slightly disappointed. It was good but I wouldn't go back. The Five Fields was miles better in regard to the food."
dined on 16/01/2014
Overall a perfectly pleasant
experience. Food was good but no "wow" factor. Service excellent but at the end of the day it was just another restaurant."
dined on 08/01/2014
What good value for a weekday
lunch at this glamorous top class restaurant in the reassuringly old style Dorchester Hotel. Perhaps unusually for a French restaurant Alain Ducasse has a vegetarian menu and the well trained staff were quick to offer alternatives in the set menu as well. A humble lentil soup for starters was elevated by a subtle foam flavoured with Lapsang Souchong whilst the main course presented a huge variety of winter vegetables cooked to perfection. Dessert was notable for the zingy orange and ginger sorbet rather than the slightly more ordinary chocolate component whose crunchy biscuit base recalled an upmarket Kitkat."
dined on 08/01/2014
Met up for a business lunch at the
Alan Ducasse. Everything I expected it to be and more. The Restaurant is warm and very comfortable, the service, attentive and professional. Well prepared and presented food from the set menu proved more than adequate, coupled with superb wines, which can get pricey. All in all a most pleasant, unrushed experience."
dined on 17/12/2013
The waiters are all friendly and
professional while the food is amazing. My boyfriend and I went for the festive lunch menu and it was amazing! He said the red wine included in the menu were outstanding for its value. The herbal tea trolley was very impressive and we had a great time."
dined on 10/12/2013
First of all, taste of the food is
just so so. For a restaurant with such big name, I would expect something more impressive. The worst part is the main, veal is overcooked and the waiter claimed that it was because the meat is tenderloin. We actually ate and found sand in the spinach, which is totally unacceptable."
dined on 03/12/2013
A scrumptious lunch - the
Christmas variation. The wild boar was exceptionally full of flavour. Our party of three included one person with an allergy to citrus and the kitchen coped very well - given that all three courses need some adjustment. Excellent service."
dined on 28/11/2013
The restaurant is light and
spacious with a shimmering waterfall of diamante forming a feature around the chef's tasting table: a huge contrast with the tartan swathed, gloomy Grill Room. The good sized tables are well spaced, which can be an issue in some restaurants pushing for maximun revenue at the cost of privacy and comfort. The menu was extremely good value, well balanced and the food excellent. The bread in particular was delicious and plentiful. Considering the very reasonable price we paid for the set lunch, the inclusive wine choices were astoundingly good. The extremely tempting array of macaroons, chocolates and nuts presented before the pudding gave us a wonderful sweet treat but rendered the puddings a little redundant."
dined on 27/11/2013
This is the best London Restaurant
and the best World value for money Restaurant and besides I have around 500 Michelin Stars experience, starting over 40 years ago, it always surprise me!"
dined on 06/11/2013
Awesome food and great service
from all French staff. Only downside was the air conditioning just above my head. Was quite cold throughout meal."
dined on 02/11/2013
We went all in for the seven
course tasting menu and had a lovely night. My favourite dishes were the crayfish velouté, delicate royale and the sauté gourmand of lobster and truffled chicken quenelles. My husband loved the Hand-dived sea scallps, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes. The restaurant is a carb lovers heaven with sinfully light savoury shoux pastries and a bountiful selection of freshly made bread! We may have had too much bread as we were struggling after the cheese course. The service team is second to none - our glasses were always full and the service was friendly and discrete. We would recommend this restaurant for those wanting to celebrate a special occasion as we did (our wedding anniversary)."
dined on 29/10/2013
The food was good, service
excellent the wine list, rather full of great wines."
dined on 24/10/2013
The 3 for £55 is probably the best
deal at any of the Michelin restaurants in London! The attention to detail was impeccable. The food flawless. My parents who are not in to fine dining or French food loved it and the staff. We will return."
dined on 23/10/2013
Service was excellent we felt
relaxed and welcomed. The restaurant is understated as décor goes My wife had the tasting menu whilst I chose from the A La Carte. The food was full of flavour and well presented. It was a little difficult understand the waiters as they described the dishes to us in a strong French accent. It was my birthday and towards the end of the meal we were presented with a tray of chocolates etc, I had already ordered my dessert (Chocolate with Vanilla Ice cream) so we ended up with what seemed to be a mountain of Chocs . The wine is overly expensive but we knew this before we went. I could have got a similar meal and wine for a lot less, there are some very good one and two star restaurants out there to choose from."
dined on 22/10/2013
My girlfriend took me to this
restaurant for my 40th birthday last Tuesday and all I can say is WOW!!! The food was exceptional, the service was amazing, absolutely nothing to fault. Worth every penny, deserves 3 stars! Thanks Alain :-)"

By Joe James, Ph.D.
Most anger management courses don't work and there are two reasons for this. One is because of the course itself. Most workbooks I have seen or courses I've attended tend to approach the problem from only one angle - you've heard of them - you need to count to ten, you need to take a step back and think about things, you should try to see things from the other person's point of view. These are all very important anger management techniques and in fact you will see that I incorporate some of them in my anger management course. The problem is that they are only one angle of the problem. What separates my course from others you may have taken is that I cover anger from all angles - what I call the "Four Horsemen of Anger" – biology, triggers, mental shortcuts and communication (e.g. how to offer criticism, how to deal with difficult people, etc...
As I said earlier, there are two reasons that most people do not successfully complete anger management courses. The first had to do with the comprehensiveness of the course, and as you can see, my anger management course covers all the bases. The second reason is you. Change, real lasting change, requires effort. If you go to any gym in the middle of January it will be so packed that you will be lucky to find an available treadmill. Go back to that same gym in the middle of March and it will be half empty.
I've seen the same thing happen with anger management courses. Most people approach a course like this like gangbusters - "I'm gonna lick this thing once and for all" and they go all out for five or six weeks. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people about a month into the program say to me "Doc, I really think I've got this anger management thing l beat - I haven't gotten pissed off in weeks". That's usually my first sign that a big blowout is just around the corner. Its just human nature - just like the gym, quitting smoking or going on a diet, we all get excited , we are all super aware and super diligent about our behavior and things seem to come so easily. But enthusiasm can only carry most of us so far and then reality starts to creep back in.
The sad part is that when people have a bad day, be it skipping a workout or two, having a couple of cigarettes or getting angry they take that as a sign of defeat - that they just can't overcome their problem. Pardon my technical jargon, but HORSEHOCKEY!! All of these things, anger management problems in particular, are habits that you have had for years and years. Its very rare that someone is able to stop like flicking a switch. It was a gradual process that took years for you to develop a habit and its going to be a gradual process for you to be able to overcome it completely. It takes the average person something like 7 real tries to quit smoking for it to actually stick. You wouldn't read a book on skiing and expect to go out the next day and be the perfect skier. You would expect to fall down a lot and learn from each fall. And, slowly but surely, you would find yourself getting better at it each day.
Anger management courses are no different. I can almost guarantee that you can watch all the anger management videos, complete all the exercises, and you are still going to get mad. The trick is to use these as learning experiences - to review the material we are going to cover in this course, ask yourself where things went wrong and what you can do differently in the future. Knowledge gets you half way there, practice makes perfect! You can find all sorts of other ways to conquer anger by checking out our free anger management introductory class.

Wat Misaka: The NBA's (Japanese) Jackie Robinson
Today, the NBA is 76% Black, 3% Latino, and 1% Asian. It's not exactly diverse, but numbers like those make it easy to forget that at one point in history professional basketball was 100% White. Anyone who cares anything about sports in this country, and plenty of people who don't, know the name Jackie Robinson, the man who broke baseball's color barrier when he was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Of course basketball, too, had its own Jackie Robinson, a man who paved the way for the 80% of minority players in the NBA today. Though his may not be a household name, his story is every bit as fascinating. If you haven't heard of him before, now's the time to learn about basketball's Jackie Robinson, Mr. Wataru "Wat" Misaka.

How Can I Get Rid of Dry Mouth
Answer: Although eliminating the cause of dry mouth is the only effective long-term treatment, there are numerous ways to find temporary relief. Ask your dentist about saliva substitutes such as Oralube or Xerolube. Also ask if you need fluoride applications and rinses to protect against cavities. Rinsing with mouthwashes that are designed for dry mouth and chewing sugarless gum may also help you feel better.
Mouth-breathing can cause dry mouth, which can in turn lead to gum swelling and inflammation, especially around the front teeth. Mouth-breathing is caused by an inability to close the mouth due to an imbalance in the bite or to blockage of nasal passages because of a deviated septum or enlarged adenoids.
One cure for dry mouth may be as simple as changing a prescription or over-the-counter drug. Many anti-depressants, antihistamines, muscle relaxants, amphetamines and hypotensives can trigger this condition.
While immunosuppressed diseases such as Hodgkin's and AIDS may lead to dry mouth, so does radiation therapy involving the head and neck area. Pipe, cigar, and heavy cigarette smoking are other key causes, as are diabetes and blood disorders such as leukemia and pernicious anemia.

Cleveland Police were called to a house on Benwood Avenue after a man and his girlfriend were followed out of a bar after an altercation.
The victim told police that he was inside Joe D's Bar at E. 131st and Miles when he was involved in an altercation with a male.
When he left the bar, several males followed him out. He heard one of them say they were going to shoot him, so the victim said he ran.
As he entered the parking lot, he noticed the males had surrounded his girlfriend, so he confronted the males.
They began attacking the victim with a golf club, tire iron, crow bar and pocket knife before fleeing. The couple then went to a house on Benwood before calling for help.
The victim, 21-year-old Antonio Harris was transported to MetroHealth Medical center with a laceration to the face and bruises all over his body. Harris' girlfriend was uninjured.
The Cleveland Division of Police is asking that anyone with information in connection with this incident to contact the Fourth District Detective Bureau at 216-623-5418. Anonymous information can be given to Crime Stoppers by calling 216-252-7463 or Text messaging to Text TIP657 plus your message to Crimes (274637).

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KTTC/AP) -- Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is recuperating following a procedure at Mayo Clinic in Rochester meant to relieve pain in his hip.
An aide in the governor's office reported just after noon Wednesday that the procedure was complete and went well. Dayton was not sedated while doctors did the platelet rich plasma injection. Dayton planned to leave Rochester and return to St. Paul later in the day.
The 66-year-old governor expects to need two weeks before he returns to an active public schedule. During that period he intends to hold meetings and do other work from the Summit Avenue governor's residence.
Dayton had been experiencing pain since tearing a hip muscle last summer.

Boy don't you love how these things play out. What I am about to put forth isn't set in stone, may not be reality, but has some "writing on the walls" if you will.
Over at our counterpart Die By The Blade there is a rumor circulating that Tom Golisano is attempting to sell the Sabres.
On paper this doesn't mean much to the Bills. However, if everyone remembers Jim Kelly saying he had backers that he wished not to be named that could get the job done. There are not many people in WNY that have the kind of money to keep the Bills in Buffalo, Tom Golisano does.
Back in 2008, Golisano said in this article at NFL.com:
I realize what the issue is. I think I realize how important that organization is to the Buffalo area," Golisano told The Associated Press. "And I'll say the same thing I've said before: If the situation arises, I would do what I can to try to keep the team in the area."
Also in the article he says:
I've talked to all kinds of people, and I'm not going to say anything beyond that
Obviously this is premature but the wheels maybe in motion for a successor to the Bills. Golisano has the cash, he could be the guy to keep the Bills in Buffalo.
Stay tuned folks - Ralph might have a trick or 2 up his sleeve that we don't know about yet!

San Francisco to Block Most Municipal Mac Purchases Following Apple's EPEAT Withdrawal
As noted by The Wall Street Journal's CIO Journal, the city of San Francisco has become one of the first such entities to confirm that it will be barring most purchases of Apple computers.
Officials with the San Francisco Department of Environment told CIO Journal on Monday they would send out letters over the next two weeks,informing all 50 of the city's agencies that Apple laptops and desktops "will no longer qualify" for purchase with city funds. [...]City agencies will still be able to ask for waivers of the policy, but San Francisco's chief information officer Jon Walton calls that process a "long" and "onerous" one that will make it "very problematic to procure Apple products."
"We are disappointed that Apple chose to withdraw from EPEAT," said Melanie Nutter, director of San Francisco's Department of Environment, "and we hope that the city saying it will not buy Apple products will make Apple reconsider its participation."
The report notes that the impact of San Francisco's decision on Apple's bottom line will be negligible given that only about 1-2% of the city's computers are Macs, representing 500-700 machines. The most recent city data available from 2010 listed purchases totaling roughly $45,000 in Macs and iPads, and iPad purchases would continue to be allowed given the absence of any EPEAT registry for tablets.
Still, with many other governmental agencies potentially making similar purchasing decisions related to Apple's withdrawal from the EPEAT registry and a possible filtering-down effect that could see other businesses adopting similar stances, Apple could face challenges in increasing its share of the PC market among enterprise and government clients.

If you want to help the environment, pollute less. Carbon credit are like the modern equivalent of indulgences that were sold by the catholic church. Planting trees is a good thing to curb deforestation but don't think of it as a way of covering your environmental "sins".
EPEAT is just another meaningless certification with arbitrary conditions. What they should really look at is what the actual recyclability of a product is, its lifespan and the presence or lack thereof of harmful materials.
What good does it do if something meets EPEAT but becomes e-waste within a year or two? You can only recycle so much and the rest ends up as e-waste in some third world country.
Actual recyclability and reusability should count for more than ease of recycling.
I would rather see a city buy products that last longer than are easily disposable. As long as Apple has a recycling program in place, I don't see the issue here.
Apple could face challenges in increasing its share of the PC market among enterprise and government clients.
Given that its very clear that Apple no longer wish to be in the desktop/laptop market I dont see this as a problem for them. All they care about now is iOS and the AppStore. Everything else is secondary.
As far as Apple is concerned, they are only maintaining OS X to allow for development of iOS apps.
Edit Guessing the downvotes are from people who dont want to believe that this is happening. Open your damn eyes... :rolleyes:
San Fran won't buy our gear.
This would make them more popular in 40+ states....
They don't seem to care about losing "PC" sales.
Good luck to the IT staff... they will need it. Switching to a completely different hardware and software platform will be painful.
Didn't you read that only 1-2% of SF computers are Apple, your comment makes no sense
Actually Apple could use this for marketing
San Fran won't buy our gear.
This would make them more popular in 40+ states....
Which states are those? The ones that hate their environment?
This just sounds like sour grapes on San Francisco's side. You have a small panel of people who feel like some kind of power has been taken away from them. Reminds me of my local city council.
Sour grapes? They have some rules they have to follow. If a product doesn't qualify them they can't be bought.

A mostly NFL post but the opening is a funny look at one guys opinion that Bettman needs to go. If you don't want to read it all, I'll add my favorite part of it:
"Imagine your neighbor knocking down his house, then rebuilding it from scratch as his family lived in a hotel. You had to listen to the construction guys hammering, sawing and banging for a solid year. Finally the house goes up, the family moves back in … and seven years later, suddenly they're knocking the house down again. You ask the neighbor what happened and he says, "Yeah, sorry about that — we screwed up when we rebuilt the house, had too many flaws, we needed to do it over again."
Naturally, you say, "Why didn't you figure out all that stuff before you rebuilt the house the first time?"
He says, "Because I'm an idiot, that's why."
And then, there's an awkward silence before he walks away, as you don't know whether he's kidding or not.
That's Gary Bettman."

Maynard death casts shadow over Oval
7:04am Tuesday 19th June 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
The Kia Oval is to host one of the most sombre cricket games in living memory as England take on the West Indies barely 24 hours after Surrey's rising star Tom Maynard was killed at the age of 23.
Maynard died on Monday at around 5am after being hit by a London Underground train at Wimbledon Park. It is thought that the Cardiff-born player, son of former England cricketer Matthew Maynard, may have been trying to avoid police at the time of his death.
The news caused shock throughout the cricket world. Hugh Morris, managing director of England cricket, said the country had seen one of its brightest prospects taken away before time.
"He had the world at his feet. I played with his old man when he played for England and Tom was very much on that pathway,'' he said. "In many ways he was very similar to Matthew. He was an incredibly talented cricketer.
"He played for the Lions in the winter. He impressed all the coaches there. They liked him as a person and as a player and to have his life cut short in this way is an absolute tragedy."
The shock was perhaps most profound at the Oval, where Surrey's bowlers were netting with England's players ahead of the second NatWest Series match against the West Indies.
Coach Andy Flower informed the England squad of Maynard's death at around 10am and Surrey seamer Jade Dernbach may miss the rest of the three-match series on compassionate grounds.
It is anticipated both teams will wear black armbands and a minute's silence will take place before the start of the match.
England, who lead 1-0 with two to play, have the opportunity to clinch the series but injury-hit West Indies face a difficult task to battle back.
Chris Gayle is still hoping to play on Wednesday, despite - like Andre Russell - missing practice on Monday. The result of the scan on Russell's shoulder problem, following a fall while batting on Saturday, is still awaited. Darren Bravo, who has flown home to Trinidad, faces further medical assessment there on an injury.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - University of Tennessee students headed back to class Wednesday, including more than 4,300 freshmen, which is the biggest class in nearly a decade.
To help all of these students transition back to school more quickly, UT officials have implemented the One Stop Express Student Service center.
The center is located inside the John C. Hodges Library on campus.
"One Stop is a one-stop shop for the most common enrollment services at the University of Tennessee," explained One Stop director Darren Curry. "We have combined the registrar, financial aid, and bursar front lines to one location because those services being so integrated already."
UT officials' main goal was to keep students from having to go to multiple places, and wait in long lines.
"I would say before having One Stop I would have to go to three different offices for three different needs," said UT senior Jackie Newman, "Sometimes it would be multiple times a day."
Another convenient thing about One Stop is that students will not have to wait around the library until their name is called because they will be paged with an email.
They also have large screens on the walls in the library letting students know when they are ready to see them.
Curry says wait times can vary depending on the time of day.
"They love that convenience aspect," said Curry.
"I would say One Stop is the best thing UT has done with their dollars in the past 30 years," added Newman.
UT invested $375,000 in adding One Stop to campus.
UT officials say this technology is very new to higher education, and it's part of becoming a top 25 institution.
One Stop is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

If you had been looking for some of the best Apartments in Portland Oregon and have eventually found one that suits best to your needs then you must plan your move ahead of time. The complete moving process can turn out to be a stressing and hectic one but things can be made easier if you follow certain guidelines. Using below tips will make your move easy for sure.
So many people normally go for moving all the stuff to the new apartment in only one day and this is almost impossible. Normally it takes 3 to 4 days for getting all your stuff shifted to the new apartment and placed in proper positions. Hence, you should plan the move accordingly and spare 3 days for it at least. If will plan to move all your stuff in a single day and even placed in same night, then you are certainly dreaming with open eyes. For first day, plan about bringing the furniture and setting it into the apartment. After this you may get quite tired so it is better that you move things like clothing, groceries or all other stuff on second day. In this way you can use 2nd and 3rd days to put all the stuff where it may belong. It goes without doubt that if you spread all your work through at least couple of days, you'll find it interesting and it may not seem hectic at all.
There are people who pay huge amounts to the moving companies for taking all the stuff to the new apartment and this is certainly the biggest mistake they can ever make. However, you can find it easier to move all the stuff with some friends and it will be a lot of fun too. You will just need 3-4 people in order to make sure that furniture is moved efficiently and quickly. You just need to have some boxes along with some large vehicle; it's preferable to have a truck. Start by loading everything up into the truck and make sure to move biggest furniture piece first. Definitely, you will have to make some trips but you will make sure that all the stuff has been moved without getting damaged. Above all it can save huge amounts for you.
Lastly, you should be mentally prepared for almost anything. When you will actually stand up to carry out the move, large number of issues will come up and you will even have to deal with things like missing keys as well as the furniture items stuck in some room, etc. You should definitely have to maintain your backup plan to deal with anything unexpected. Keep all the chores in your mind and just don't linger on with a single thing.
