Soon, Our Robot Baristas Will Only Brew Certain Brands
We American coffee-drinkers have known the Era of Starbucks and the Epoch of Sanka. It seems, however, we currently live in the Age of the K-Cup.
And we're about to discover everything that means.
Over the past half-decade, single-serve, instant-brew coffee pods—called K-Cups—have taken over more than a quarter of the U.S. ground coffee business. Last summer, the Wall Street Journal judged the K-Cup's rise "unstoppable" and reported that product category was worth over $150 million.
K-Cups and Keurig (the best-known brand used to brew them) are both manufactured by Green Mountain Coffee. That company—worth some $16 billion itself—owned the patents for its chalices of disruption, but they expired in 2012, and since then it's had a problem.
It's historically operated on a razor blade model: Its Keurig business makes real money not by selling machine brewers but by selling K-Cups. Now cheaper competitors have moved in. They sell inexpensive one-off cups and reusable, extensible cups—threatening the company's business on both sides.

How To Make a Simple Cup of Coffee
Today's coffee-shop owners don't just place orders for beans. They backpack up the sides of volcanoes in Guatemala and Panama to find previously undiscovered farmers who will grow and process beans to their specifications. And if they've paid to trek to Central America, you don't think they'll just make you a quick cup, do you?
The current fashion is to make what should be the simplest of brewing techniques—pouring hot water over ground beans to coax out their subtle, delicate flavors—an exercise in endurance. Instead of simply opening a spigot on an urn, a barista will set a filter into a carafe and place it on an electronic scale before adding the coffee, to be sure of the exact ratio of water to grounds. Relying on a timer to ensure a prolonged pour (sometimes up to four minutes), the barista will then use a swan-neck pitcher to ever so slowly drip the right amount of temperature-controlled water into the filter, all while giving you a lecture on the new crop of Borboya Yirgacheffe. The experience seems calibrated to produce maximal annoyance.

It was approximately 8:55 am last Friday morning when a stranger asked for my name. I was in a long line at Starbucks, and our conversation started with raised eyebrows from her—the barista—followed by my drink order: "I'll have a Grandé mocha." There might have been a hint of uptalk at the end of that statement, but there was nothing uncertain or wavering about my response to the next question. She asked for my name, and I shouted, without missing a beat, "Kristen." Articulating my real first name would have been awfully inconvenient, given the noise level around us and the need for efficiency. "Svati" always warrants repeating. My middle name, Kirsten, is also unfamiliar, so I modify it slightly to Kristen, which everyone recognizes. I am one of many "uncommonly named" people who do this all the time, at Starbucks and elsewhere.
An hour later, at the Atlantic headquarters, a senior editor saw me sipping my mocha and surmised that I'd stolen someone else's drink. This, too, happens all the time: Drinking out of disposable coffee cups scrawled with "Kristen"—or "Cristin," "Christen," and the like, because baristas are notorious for putting creative twists on even the most ubiquitous names—invites questions and teasing remarks. "Guess Kristen didn't get her coffee today." I had barely begun to explain—"Ha ha, actually, this is just the name…"—when our site's executive editor John Gould interrupted and self-identified as a member of the fake-Starbucks-name club.

Study: Caffeine Can Improve Memory
Caffeine can improve attention and focus, we've known for a while. It also enhances working memory (short term, in the moment). Caffeine's effects on long-term memory, though, if any, aren't well established.
A study published yesterday in the journal Nature Neuroscience gets into that in a unique way, looking at caffeine's effect on memory consolidation.

Caffeine 'Addiction': A Tortured Love
In the first episode of our eclectic new video series If Our Bodies Could Talk, James Hamblin, M.D., explains the long history of humanity's favorite psychoactive substance.
Why is Starbucks So Expensive in China?
Imagine walking into Starbucks and discovering that your grande latte cost $27. You'd probably think that the world's coffee supply had suddenly vanished. Or that you'd traveled by time machine many decades into the future.
These inflated prices gives you a pretty good idea of the relative cost (adjusted to per capita income) of what a Chinese person pays for the drink. China's per capita income, at about $7,200, is around five and a half times less than the American figure. Yet at a Starbucks in Beijing, a grande latte goes for about $4.80—or a dollar more than what it costs in the United States. A simple beverage of espresso and steamed milk is pretty damned expensive in China.

The New Coffee is Made for Your Skin
"Coffee and energy drinks can give you a quick boost, but they come with a ton of issues, and can cause you to crash."
That, according to the pitch from Harvard undergrad Ben Yu and venture capitalist Deven Soni, is why we need Sprayable Energy—a caffeine product that the user absorbs through their skin. Creators Yu and Soni recommend that one spray it "in the same places you would a fragrance (like your neck)."
A lot of energy-product pitches start by telling us how bad coffee and energy drinks are. Then, by the end, they admit that the active ingredient in their product, too, is caffeine. The Sprayable Energy pitch is no exception, eventually siding with its demons: "You spray it on your skin to get the alertness and focus you would from coffee or energy drinks."
Without, though, a ton of issues.

Financial Audit:
Farmers Home Administration's Financial Statements for 1989 and 1988
AFMD-91-36: Published: May 6, 1991. Publicly Released: May 6, 1991.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9454
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO examined the Farmers Home Administration's (FmHA): (1) consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 1989 and 1988; (2) internal accounting control structure; (3) compliance with laws and regulations; and (4) operating results for the fiscal year (FY) then ended.
GAO found that: (1) FmHA used inaccurate accounting records to support its reported amount of acquired property and did not properly reconcile reports produced by the Acquired Property Tracking System with its field offices' detailed acquired property files; (2) FmHA complied with laws and regulations for FY 1989; and (3) the new FmHA farm loan system lacked sufficient internal controls and was unable to project loan losses. In addition, GAO found that FmHA financial operations for FY 1987 through FY 1989 showed that: (1) FmHA consistently operated at a loss, since it paid higher interest than it received from borrowers and many borrowers did not repay loans; (2) FmHA total loan portfolio book value decreased from $60.9 billion in FY 1987 to $54.5 billion in FY 1989; (3) emergency farm loans represented a high delinquency and default risk; (4) nonfarm loans totalled $32 billion as of September 30, 1989 and continued to represent 59 percent of total outstanding FmHA loans; and (5) FmHA loan guarantees increased to $4.5 billion. GAO also noted that it: (1) and the Office of Management and Budget identified FmHA as a high-risk area within the federal government; and (2) was conducting detailed reviews to determine the nature and extent of problems associated with FmHA systems and programs.

Copenhagen (Michael Frayn, BBC Radio Play 2013)
"Greta and I both saw it at the National," recalls Simon Russell Beale. "It was a brain-stretching evening at the theatre. It's the most extraordinary piece of multi-layered writing. It's like a piece of origami."
"In the theatre," says Scacchi, "it was a very stark set. No furniture or dressing that I can remember. It was an abstract space. You tried to follow the words. To lie on your sofa, shut your eyes and listen to it, just the words, is probably one of the best ways to receive this story."
Much cameraderie seems to revolve around the simple problem of not rustling one's script when the green light is on. "I'm hopeless at the page-turning," says Beale. "I had a sleepless night, the night before we started, I'm not joking, about the f***ing pages. The speeches here are 20 pages long. So I knew that I'd have to… turn over."
Cumberbatch grabs a page of script from the table and leans forward. "This is one of the secrets," he murmurs, conspiratorially. "If you do that" – he scrunches the paper slightly, into a shell-like shape - "the molecules tighten so it becomes something hard rather than moveable. It's more solid. It doesn't make a noise."
It's an atomic approach to crunch-free radio drama? "It certainly is. It's science!"

New Artist Spotlight: MIKESCHAIR
- Monday, February 23, 2009
Brandon: Well, it was fun watching you rehearse a few days ago. I have been listening [to your music] since July. I am excited about people finding out about you. We lived next door to each other for a while. You guys are still living in East Nashville?
Mike: Yeah, one of the coolest things about living in the part of Nashville that you and I both have lived in is it's been eye-opening as far as the need not just throughout the world, but in our own country. It's been a daily reminder that we have people in our lives who constantly remind us of the blessings that we have. And as a band, once you have seen firsthand, you can't pretend like they don't exist. It has affected the mission of MIKESCHAIR in that we can't just do music. It can't just be about us getting out and doing shows. We have seen across the street of where you and I used to live, they do a food drive, and it's amazing how many people come out to get canned food and bread-things that are just normal for the rest of us. It has challenged us to figure out ways to be a part of the fight. We partnered up with Food for the Hungry to go in and be a part of our shows. You know-even our music-we just hope that it challenges people to get involved. That has all been birthed out of where I lived in Nashville.
Brandon: The same for me, and the blessings from the people that we've met in our own neighborhood. I know how you guys have served the people that lived in our neighborhood. That's what is cool; you are servants. And that's going to affect your ministry and your music. Not only do you make great music, you have great hearts. I can't wait for people to hear you. "Can't Take Away" is the first single, and the record is self-titled. We don't know the release date, but it will be coming out soon. Well man, thanks for hanging out with me. Before you go, tell everybody where they can find out about your music and your tour dates.
Mike: They can visit www.MIKESCHAIR.com or myspace.com/mikeschair. Thanks!

Sports Fan Insider
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — All across the Delaware Valley today, Phillies fans are analyzing the NLCS and wondering what can be done to turn the series around (see related story).
So, what would you do if you were Charlie Manuel? Everyone seems to have an opinion on what the skipper should do to get his team back on track.
John Finch of South Philly says Manuel ought to make a move with his pitching rotation:
"He says he wants to start Joe Blanton today. I think that might be a bad move. Halladay has been known to pitch good on short rest. I'd put him in there. Something's gotta be done about the lineup."
Ah, the lineup. An overwhelming number of fans want Raul Ibanez out and Ben Francisco in. Some want to see Jimmy Rollins put back in the leadoff spot:
"Do something with Raul Ibanez, because he's doing absolutely nothing. I mean, we gotta do something. Switch up that lineup, do something to get these bats going, manufacture some runs."
"Whatever works. You know, whatever seems to work, if switching people around, switching the batting order…then go ahead and do it."
But no one seems to know what to do about the Phillies' lack of production from the big guns: Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Jayson Werth.

And he'd be totally blasé about it too. Like, Pepper comes up to him later and is like where did this $500,000 go??? And Tony's like idk man who knows where anything goes really
Wednesday Word Crunch
Working on the Jarvis fic again (hello, draft from last summer!) I'm up to about 45,000-ish words, with another 10,000 to finish editing/reworking, before I move on to writing new material in the fic. Working on this section today:
They finally settled in at Stark Tower, disheartened to a man. (And woman.) Pepper's condition was still relatively stable, at least, but there had been hide nor hair of Jarvis in his stolen android body. Tony was starting to have paranoid visions of Jarvis dead in a ditch somewhere, which was ludicrous on multiple levels, but it didn't stop Tony from agreeing without any argument when Sam showed up in his workshop and politely demanded that Tony either provide a suit for him, fix his wings, or build him something new. It was nice to have a demand placed upon him he could actually do something about.
That was what he was doing when it happened: working on a new set of wings for Sam. Tony was in his workshop, the schematics for an improved exoskeleton expanded and blown up large in holographic image in front of him, bent over the workbench, when the huge glass window on the eastern side of the work shop simply exploded. A man with a brown ponytail and a gigantic fucking metal arm burst through it, rolling to his feet immediately.
"WHAT THE FUCK," yelled Tony, and threw a wrench at the guy as he dashed behind a workbench. "Jarvis! Battle protocol, now!" Of course he hadn't finished revamping the come-when-you-call suit yet, why would he expect to ever need something like that again—
"Activated," said the Jarvis still in control of Stark Tower. The man with the metal arm crossed the room to Tony in three steps, grabbed him by the front of his shirt, and hauled him up off the ground, Tony's feet dangling a foot over his work room floor.
"Why did you take Steve into a burning building?" demanded Bucky, because either it was Bucky "I'm A Recently Brainwashed Lunatic" Barnes, or there was some other psycho with a metal arm and a thick Russian accent menacing him right now. "He nearly died!"
"Hi, what, wow," said Tony. He shoved ineffectively at the arm holding him aloft. "Okay first of all Rogers volunteered, he does that a lot actually, I would have thought you'd be an expert on this fact—"
"He could have died," growled Bucky, hoisting Tony higher. Behind him, machinery whirred, and then a gust of cold, pressurized air exploded on him from behind. Bucky snarled and dropped Tony, ducking out of the way; Dum-E's gears ground aggressively as he snapped his metal arm around, releasing the now-empty fire extinguisher at exactly the right moment to fling it at Bucky's crouched form.
"BUCKY, NO!" Steve burst into the room then, Pepper and Sam close on his heels. He streaked across the floor, his yell stopping Barnes in the middle of turning on Tony's bot—which was good, because if Bucky had actually touched Dum-E, Tony would have chucked him out the window, friend of Steve's or no.
The next few minutes were very chaotic.

You don't need to buy me expensive things or take me out to dinner every night or even every weekend. I don't need the world or want the world. I want the little things. If you push my hair out of face or rub my back. Or if you randomly kiss my cheek. Or text me randomly saying you miss me. Or if you make a tweet about me or post a picture of us. Then that's all I care about. I want the little things. I care way more about that, than anything else.

Saturday will mark the official commencement of the 2014 NCAA tournament's Final Four. All eyes will be on the teams in their pursuit of glory, but scouts and general managers will be watching specific prospects in what could be their last chance to make an in-game statement before the 2014 NBA Draft.
The question is, which Final Four prospects have the most to gain?

Access "SOX is Hell"
This article is part of the Vol. 3 No. 6 August 2004 issue of Adding low-cost tiers to conserve storage costs
Think complying with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) will be easy? Think again. A user preparing for a SOX audit (who for obvious reasons requested anonymity) reports that complying with the regulation is a time-consuming, thankless task. "This has been an unbelievably frustrating ride," he says. "We're making everything up as we go along, because there's no template to follow." Auditors are no help. "They tell us, 'We'll know it when we see it.' It's like trying to please the king." The work itself, providing proof and documentation of compliance, is time-consuming "administrivia." "I'd much rather be running storage infrastructure; it's a lot more fun." Forget about hiring consultants. Even if you can find one, "the big accounting companies are feeling their way around in the dark just like everyone else. A lot of my colleagues have hired consultants, but they're no further along than us." What happens if you get it wrong? If the audit uncovers a material weakness, you must print a notice in the annual report--no one wants that. Furthermore, "if you're going to tell ... Access >>>

Watch team interviews with all the "exes" pairs to learn more about their past hookups and strategies for this season.
Some of them have dated. Some of them were in long-term relationships. Some of them have just hooked up. But they've gone their separate ways...until now.
What happens when former lovers are reunited? That is the terrifying question that twenty-six competitors will be asking themselves this season during the most intense Challenge yet, Battle Of The Exes. Set against the exotic backdrop of the Dominican Republic, each former lover will be partnered with their ex -- as their one and only teammate for the entire game. In order to claim their share of a massive $300,000 prize, these brokenhearted exes must find a way to make their failed relationships succeed -- or at least until they cross the finish line.
However, not every pair of exes will make it to the Finals to compete for a cut of the cash. Teams will do whatever it takes to avoid being sent into "The Dome" - a physically and mentally demanding elimination round. Here's how it works: after each challenge, the team that performs the worst will automatically be sent into the dreaded "Dome." And the team that performs the best will become the Power Couple. The Power Couple will be safe from elimination and have the unprecedented advantage of casting the one and only vote for a team to face off against the worst in "The Dome." No more alliances. No more bandwagon votes. The two unlucky teams will battle it out in "The Dome" for survival. The winners will remain in the game. The losers will be eliminated.
Along the way, the past will come back to haunt these former couples. Some exes will struggle to deal with painful grudges and broken hearts that have never been mended. And, for some, old feelings of love will be reignited. The stakes have never been this high, emotions have never been this raw, and the competition has never been this fierce, as these ex-lovers put their hearts on the line and battle for their share of the winnings. In the end, the teams that make it to the Finals will be sent to a shocking location 4,000 miles away where they will compete in one of the most epic finales in Challenge history -- and only one pair of former lovers will be crowned champions of Battle Of The Exes.

Haha I guess I got a few tips. I started Halos when I was a freshman in high school, and throughout the years these would be my tips:
1. The kick of your halos
2. How you catch them
3. And how you push with your hands as well
Look at my GIF closely, on the 3rd halo you can see my leg trying to get that kick again after losing momentum. All 3 rounds of my halos I pushed with my hands (Kinda like how your left hand would push you in a turtle spin)[I'm right handed] If you know what I'm talking about.
i always figured digletts were cute little mole things i don't know
This is the only good Diglett speculation I've ever seen
considering diglett is known as the "mole pokemon", i don't see why more people haven't come to this conclusion. (plus, it's super adorable.)
That's cute and all, but I myself am partial to this theory.

Take this as a buying opportunity. There has not been significant news lately to move the sp up. I have started seeing more advertising by the company on Stockhouse here the last week when I hadn't seen any for many months. I'm always curious when I see that happen.
There was an interview done here on Stockhouse in 2011 with the CEO that talked about achieving break even in 2013 and profitability in 2014 and so far they appear to be hitting every milestone they set so I have no reason to believe they won't do what they are saying.
They appear to be good stewards for the company and haven't diluted the shares recklessly. Their last PP included their first institutional investor.
The sp will move on material news. This is my favorite play on the Venture and one I feel has big potential. We just have to show patience and let the company execute.

There were a lot of unknowns entering the 2014 NFL Draft about who would select Logan Thomas with the number of teams that were looking to add a young backup quarterback on top of the teams that were looking for a starter. Logan Thomas was also seen as a developmental quarterback with huge upside but as someone who would need a lot of time to become a big time quarterback. Every team in the NFL knew that Logan Thomas would be a risk and that is why Thomas fell to Day 3 of the NFL Draft but one team finally selected him.
That team was the Arizona Cardinals led by former Hokie, QB guru, and head coach Bruce Arians.
Bruce Arians made some visits to Blacksburg during and there were pictures of Arians and Logan Thomas working together at Virginia Tech as Arians was able to get a chance to analyze the former Hokies' starting QB. These pictures made their way around Twitter the first time and then made reappeared in mass when Logan Thomas was selected by the Arizona Cardinals.
Bruce Arians and Logan Thomas … #Hokiespic.twitter.com/wT5areVGMs
— VT Football (@VT_Football) May 10, 2014
Logan Thomas will get the chance to sit on the bench for a couple of years while Carson Palmer keeps being a solid starter for the Arizona Cardinals. Thomas will get a lot of attention from Bruce Arians as the quarterback of the future and Arians definitely will be excited about the physical size and arm of Thomas. Logan Thomas has a big arm and has great size just like another quarterback that Bruce Arians developed into a big time quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.
However, Roethlisberger was a first-round pick and Logan Thomas was a fourth round pic that has always had major issues with his accuracy. Logan Thomas was unable to reach his potential at Virginia Tech because of his below average accuracy and that will have to improve at the next level for him to survive in the league and have any sort of success. Logan Thomas has huge potential also and Bruce Arians will have to help fix those accuracy issues or otherwise, he won't last in the NFL.

- You had me at pigOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/28/2014Great food, great service, supporting local business, doesn't get much better. Keep it classy pig!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You can't go wrong with this place.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/28/2014We have been here for dinner a few times and it is excellent choice. You really cannot go wrong when you choose to eat here. Thought we would try it for a special lunch. It was. Service is always good and the food is excellent. If you haven't eaten here yet you are really missing out on something special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Pig Still DominatesOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/25/2014Overall, it is hard to beat the Ravenous Pig for the overall casual high end dining experience. The food, wine, service and ambiance are all exceptional. Treat yourself to a meal here; you will not regret it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- oftenout2dineDined on 10/24/2014Waiter forgot many items ordered. Charcuterie was poor at best. What has happened? This used to be the best restaurant in Winter Park.
- Great spot in Winter Park!RRRRDined on 10/23/2014We came here for our anniversary, we were not exactly sure of the dress code, and were slightly overdressed for the ambiance of the restaurant (dress shirt and nice jeans work well). The food was very good, our server was excellent (thanks Jason!). We went on a weeknight and it seemed a bit loud and perhaps more rowdy than we were expecting since we were on our anniversary date. I will definitely be going back, just not necessarily for a special occasion when I want something a bit more low key.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Servicecas02sieDined on 10/23/2014Mason gave great service and was very personable and attentive. It was my boyfriends birthday and he felt very special. Mason was very knowledgable of the menu and offered great suggestions. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GAILGailDined on 10/23/2014Outstanding dinner. Noisy, but well worth it!! Service was top notch. Even though every table occupied it didn't take away the quality of service. Food presented and prepared great!!!!!! Would highly recommend...but a reservation is a must!!Special Features:
- Loud and distractingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/23/2014I was disappointed that, having made a reservation, we were seated at a table along a banquet wall of other diners when there were free standing tables available. Not conducive to business conversations. My suggestion is that, when having a reservation, the guest be asked for a preference of table before being seated.Special Features:
- Excellent mealsWorldtraveler2VIPDined on 10/22/2014Fantastic menu, especially the appetizer boards. Our table had the Cobia and Pork Chop, and both were cooked to perfection.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/21/2014The only negative thing there is to say is about the knives. They are impossible to hold. Is tht because I am left handed or do others feel the same way? I'm going to start bringing my own knife!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic for foodies & meat loverseyeslikethesummerDined on 10/18/2014Saw The Ravenous Pig listed on all the "must-eat" lists while visiting Orlando, sounded like the perfect place to spend the last night of our vacation and celebrate my birthday - they did not disappoint. Drinks were strong and delicious, portions were large for food of this quality. Beef tartare was mouth watering, I never wanted it to end. The NY strip is easily in the top 3 steaks I've ever had. Service was friendly, responsive and knowledgeable about all the dishes - make sure to ask what your server recommends based on your taste. An absolutely fabulous meal and experience, would love to return one day.Special Features:
- Just OKLeahDined on 10/17/2014While on vacation, we ate at Ravenous Pig for lunch due to the high recommendations we found online. I found the food only to be average. The chicken and waffle dish had great flavor but to me, it was a lot of fluff - chicken and waffles should be straight to the point. My boyfriend had the tempura shrimp tacos and rated them to be average as well. However, great service and drink menu.Special Features:
- Great food in the Orlando areaDhotchkiVIPDined on 10/16/2014My friend suggested we go here. 30 minute taxi ride from the Convention Center but worth the trip. Started with bacon infused Old Fashioned. The highlight of the night though was the 20 oz pork porterhouse (which we split). Succulent, moist, nice char and superbly seasoned. The pasta dish was also well cooked. Cheese plate was great compared to most restaurants (but not after a recent trip to Madison, WI). Overall, highly recommended. This kind of restaurant could flourish in a serious food city like Portland, OR.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing as usualKatieMarqVIPDined on 10/15/2014Love this place! It's always our pick when a special occasion rolls around, or a Wednesday :)Special Features:
- Singing the Bleu'sHamburgerlovers2Dined on 10/14/2014The menu clearly says "no substitutions", so we had to order our burgers with bleu cheese. It dominated the flavor in the burger, and tasted terrible. When we told the waiter, he said they would've substituted another cheese. Then why put "no substitutions" on the menu! Plus, no offer to discount the meal, even though more than half of it was uneaten.
- Not as good as in the pastrhodaVIPDined on 10/11/2014This one of my favorites but this visit i was disappointed. I felt that the menu is shrinking and not much to choose from. The food was good but portion size was very small. I ordered the dessert napolitian and it was a one bite dessert. so small I did not feel guilty eating dessert. They need more choices on the menu, think I am taking a break from coming hereSpecial Features:
- Consistent and accomodatingbackhomeVIPDined on 10/11/2014Although they don't make substitutions they did accommodate my request to leave an item out that I have allergies to. Chris our waiter was excellent; attentive and knowledgeable . I arrived early and was seated immediately to await the others in my party. It was an unusual Saturday as the restaurant was not busy with all that was going on in town on the weekend. For us is was great as we were never rushed, our food came out adequately spaced to both talk and enjoy.Special Features:
- Continuously evolvingBonusDadDined on 10/11/2014The Pig surprises and never disappoints. Seasonal pumpkin roll dessert was awesome. Butternut squash soup made me yearn for another bowl all weekend. Smoked fried chicken was genius. Potato salad with white sausage was brilliant. In heaven, you eat here every day.Special Features:
- A Foodies' MustRichDined on 10/10/2014Michelin Star, 5-Star, and any top award you can think of! Coming from our background as foodies, intuitive connoisseurs, and brewers, this is a Must Go restaurant, along with their sister Cask & Larder location. Phenomenally designed dishes of heart and soul, stemming from seasonal, organic, and sustainable foods. Master Chefs prepare magical dishes that will astound your taste buds and set the precedence for future dishes and dining experiences. The service is extraordinary as they are attentive, personable, and extremely knowledgeable in/about everything they serve. This restaurant is now a group staple, along with C&L's brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Oh, mywineandfoodloverVIPDined on 10/9/2014We had been here before, and this time we took friends. Of particular gastronomic note were the veal brisket, the fois gras tourchon, rock shrimp tacos, and the steak frites. The women in the group loved, loved, loved the roast chicken. The truffle fries with the steak frites were simply the best I've ever had. On the wine list, they have a Byron Pinot noir for $36. Byron makes a superior pinot, and at this price point, one that is simply irresistible. We'll be back every time we're in the Orlando area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and servicerubesDined on 10/8/2014The menu always changes, but all dishes were delicious!!! Server recommended a great bottle of wine, though the list of liquors was also very appealing. They also brought out two amazing Nutella/brownie type treats with coffee after dinner, which was a great surpriseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food!JoefromOhioDined on 10/7/2014This was my first time at this restaurant and the food was prepared to perfection. There were 4 of us and we wanted to sample a variety of dishes. They were very flexible with us and once we placed our order, they did a great job of spacing out the various dishes so that we weren't rushed and could savor each dish. The beef tartar, fish tacos and the skirt steak were our favorites. But, everything was so good that it's hard to choose a favorite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost PerfectIlivetoeatDined on 10/7/2014This place is awesome! Great vibe, friendly and efficient service, knowledgeable staff. My Cobia entree was delicious - perfectly prepared, interesting ingredients, nice on the plate and in the mouth! The only things that kept me from giving this restaurant a five star rating were the raw oysters (served over ice but yet the oysters were not cold, which made them taste really fishy) and the red wine by the glass (also served a tad bit warm). Easy things to fix on the way to a perfect meal!Special Features:
- Just gets better!!!ShadepalmDined on 10/7/2014The dishes are innovative, beautiful and just amazing! You sense the seasons changing, even in Central Florida, by the abundance of fresh vegetables and local seafood; from fresh Cobia to house made ravioli with roasted butternut squash. Every dish is well thought out and lovingly prepared. The wine list changes with the menu and there's always just the right wine to complement every course. Service is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu choices and wine list! The staff has actually tasted the menu items and the wine! If you're there for the evening meal ask for Nelson. He's an authentic "foodie". This restaurant is a true Winter Park gem, locally owned and operated by Winter Park folks!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LocationRosieVIPDined on 10/7/2014Food, and service is excellent. .I just wish it was in a better location, worn a viewSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved!DDempDined on 10/4/2014Great creative food, big flavors and fun cocktails! Our server was amazing too (can't remember his name but he has worked there for 5 yrs and was super fun and had great recommendations!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YummytheDolDined on 10/4/2014Great food! Good treat! Great presentation! A little issue with serving the men first.Special Features:
- OktoberfestCubit99Dined on 10/4/2014The German inspired feast was amazing, a little small on portion for the price, but delicious nonetheless. Service was OK, a little slow to respond if something was needed when the waiter wasn't already visiting your table. The Oktoberfest beer flight from Cask & Larder was a good pairing for the meal. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It is ok but not specialOrlandonlVIPDined on 10/3/2014Food was ok. Presentation very nice. Service was great. After all the great reviews I expected more. I have been there 2 times and have not been wowed.
- brilliant. ..melandmikehonestDined on 10/3/2014Great service....awesome drinks.special occasion and you can not go wrong.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun and deliciousLoveeatingout520VIPDined on 10/2/2014The Place is worthy of a trip. we come from Pennsylvania every six months and come here two or three times. The steak and frites are the best!Special Features:
- A must!BB17Dined on 10/1/2014If you have not been here, you really must go; it was fantastic. I had no idea that pork porterhouse existed, and nearly a week later, it is still all I can think about. My husband had the steak frites, which was also wonderful. I didn't think I could eat any more food (we started with the beef tartare and biscuits; the tartare was wonderful and the biscuits are fine, but I think I don't care for Vermont butter), but then we had to get the pigtails, which were a perfect end to the meal. I think our server was Jessie, but I could be wrong. She's been there 7 years and she's worth her weight in platinum. She helped make the experience as much as the food did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pub Burger is the BestAikigatorDined on 10/1/2014I stopped in and had their Angus Pub Burger with Fries. The burger was AWESOME! Everything from the bread to the beef was right on the money. They sprinkle the fries with truffle oil and you just can't stop eating them. The service was great and we never wanted for anything. We sat at the chef's counter and could see the kitchen staff in action which was interesting. The entire kitchen staff are top notch professionals and turn out fantastic foodSpecial Features:
- The Pig is awesome!JohnVIPDined on 9/26/2014This is one of our favorites! Whenever we travel to the Orlando area, we try to make a trip to Ravenous Pig!! It is awesomeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not enough food for priceYuckDined on 9/26/2014I had always heard how great the food was here...and the Salmon was great..but the serving was so small for the price..just salmon and a few veggies and I mean few...oh wellSpecial Features:
- Recommend for FoodiesFoodieCoupleDined on 9/20/2014Would definitely recommend The Ravenous Pig to all foodies or people whom love food!! The environment was great and lively, the food was amazing from the appetizer to the main entree. Cannot wait to go back!!Special Features:
- Satisfied SwineJennyDines620Dined on 9/19/2014I was in town with my fiancé for a conference and we wanted to do something different than the usual Disney scene. We drove 20 mins to Winter Park to check out the foodie favorite. He had steak, I had the fish and they were both incredible. One of my favorite parts of eating out is drinking out and trying a new cocktail. Their list was unique and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a revelation!BiancaDined on 9/19/2014The creativity and freshness burst through every single bite. The charcuterie, specifically the orange-scented salumi and the duck prosciutto, were delicious and FUN. These folks have the best and most original lasagna I have ever tasted (normally, I hate lasagna but sneaked a bite from a dinner companion's plate), and if you try the napoleon for dessert, you will be tempted to go back again and again and again.Special Features:
- Excellent!SassyDined on 9/17/2014This was the best restaurant we went to on our trip to Orlando. I would recommend it highly, and hope to dine there again someday. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable.Special Features:
- Great foodFloridaDined on 9/17/2014Delicious food. Attentive, informed service. Steak frites were perfect. Salmon (wild caught) was excellent, and not overcooked as it usually is.Special Features:

She can feel a tingling in her body, as if incredibly numb. What happened? Where was she? A forest, by the looks of things. The Forest near Ponyville, perhaps? What was it, the… Eternal-Liberty woods?
Should have paid more attention to the brochure. Last she could recall… She had kissed Shining Star, then… promoted a chess-piece maker?
But after that… nothing. Odd. Very, supremely, odd. She isn't hungry, and her coat is quite pristine. Obviously, then, she can't have been in the woods for long, right?
It looks to be… Just after noon, the sun was moving to the west… So she had to go… Directly right of it.
Okay, easily done… Now to keep on that path until she found the Ponyville river…
"Hello, my dear Shining Star!" She pulls him into a hug and a kiss, nuzzling him warmly.
"Absolutely wonderful! And how are you?"
She invitingly lifts her hoof to him, "Perfect… Will you lead, Star..?"
"Alright..' She waits with a grin.

Microsoft Strengthens Hotmail Security
Microsoft rolled out a new set of security features on Sept. 27 designed to keep Hotmail accounts safe from online attack .
The first, called "Trusted PC," links a user's Hotmail account to one or more of the user's personal computers; if the owner needs to reset his password, he simply needs to be using his computer which has been registered with Hotmail and Microsoft will know he is the legitimate account holder.
Hotmail will also now send SMS messages via cell phone to people who need to rest the password of an account that has been compromised.
The features are called "proofs," which Microsoft describes as "spare keys" – ways the user can prove to Hotmail that he is the account's rightful user. Until now, Hotmail has offered only two proofs – an alternate email address and a personal question paired with a secret answer. The old proofs, Microsoft explained on its Windows Live blog, did not provide adequate security .
