And I'm

to bring a classy restaurant to 42nd St., is hard to find the first time you
go. It's hidden in the Times Square Hilton, which is itself almost invisible
in the visual overload of the south side of 42nd St. between 7th and 8th Aves.,
near Madame Tussaud's and the mammoth AMC Empire multiplex. Once you've
found your way into the hotel's street-level lobby, it's a ride in

its trade must be almost entirely made up of tourists, we think the place should
be a little easier to locate.

classic Forgione: high-class American with a few sort-of-Asian hints, mildly
inventive without startling you with its genius, served in American portions.
Forgione leans toward fish and seafood–roasted oysters, softshells, a clever
salmon pizza, big fishes like striped sea bass. But the kitchen also knows when
to turn a black-and-blue steak. Sensible wine list. Simple desserts like key
lime pie or sorbet, light enough for a pretheater crowd. As always at a Forgione
establishment, the young waitstaff is well trained, flawlessly polite–and
largely minority, a nice added touch.

their early 20s walk in. They're decked out in Sabbath finery–white
socks, satin robes, big round fur hat, the works. They go right over to the
long wooden bar and started asking the bartender, a tall, tattooed lass wearing
a tanktop, about the game–baseball, we guess, since we heard her explain
that it was football on one tv, the U.S. Open on the other. After some more
conversation the two belly up to the bar and settle in. They take off their
hats and one of them dangles his stockinged feet out of his black shoes as the
bartender brings them two bottles of–what else?–Budweiser.

Europeans in stale woolens fleeing the wehrmacht, you've got the

is the overrated Upper West Side restaurant of which Artisanal is the spinoff.
Fingers scratching pates, deep philosophical musings: how can we push an already
absurdly precious foodie culture in a new direction? How can we do a few things
more? What remains? Thus, a restaurant that fetishizes deeply special

that already fetishize wine, beef, fashion models, desserts, overworked pizza

than it should be at these prices. Talk about obnoxious advance publicity–we
were hearing about the place last winter. And yet there we were, like sheep,
on a hot night not long after Artisanal's spring opening, eating improved
bistro food not noticeably superior to that at Balthazar or 10 other places,
while dodging errant elbows from patrons who were waiting for tables, weaving
through the aisles, scanning the humid air for illustrious faces. All the while,
a ripe stench emanated from the cheese counter. Yeah, we know–it's
the funky foodie stench of artisanal fromage. Well, to hell with it.

Tribeca's Jewel. Takeout's a dicey proposition in any neighborhood.
We suppose there's solace to be taken in the fact that it exists at all,
unlike in the vast majority of American cities, but when you wake up with a
poisoned gut from Thai or Chinese grub that's been fried in month-old oil,
that's a sign to get out the cooking utensils.
Il Mattone, Best yet, instead
a perennial winner in "Best of" annuals, is another story altogether.
We prefer the thin-crust pizzas, well-done, either plain or topped with excellent
sausage, pepperoni or onions. There's also the hungry-guy special, a Sicilian
number that can feed four. A pie with a Caesar salad is fine dinner. When we
want variety, it's a switch to the Napoli sandwich, an enormous concoction
stuffed with prosciutto, sopressata, capocolla, mozzarella, tomatoes and olives.
Another good bet is the fusilli Calabria, a sensibly sized portion of pasta
with plum tomato sauce, sweet sausage and mushrooms.

Il Mattone staff is friendly, even when harried. When you're greeted with

Best Surprising
Ayes. This is a close genetic and culinary relative of Rio Mar on Little
W. 12th St., a colloquial Spanish bistro in danger of being hullabalooed by
the Pastisization of the immediate neighborhood. Riazor is safe, for about a
decade, even taking into account they've generated a tapas menu. They also
have a stuffed tomato for about seven and a quarter bucks, which is virtually
a full meal for a normal prudent human, and is abounding in aggressive taste.
You can also have the shrimps ajillo, and if you ask for extra garlic or maybe
even if you don't you will have a pageant of gorgeosity. But the tomatillo
is the first choice. Just drink the plonk or the sangria, though the staff has
enthusiasms about the Spanish bottles.

thing for serving tarted-up versions of serious old Jewish dishes? Okay, so
it's not exactly epidemic–it doesn't define the places–but
still: here's the Blue Ribbon Bakery in the West Village, serving up an
excellent matzoh ball soup; and here's the newish Blue Ribbon Brooklyn,
in Park Slope, offering great herring in cream. Oh yes, just like our Uncle
Isaac and our Aunt Edna used to eat up at Grossinger's, when the world
was theirs, and in the afternoons there were swim races and in the evenings
there was a buffet, and Fyvush Finkel, and the next day you could take the bus
back to Port Authority. Those were the golden days. (Isaac was such a card then,
always kidding. He sold suit-pants wholesale, 45 years, right off New Utrecht
Ave. Now he slobbers in a home in Fresh Meadows, and screams at the nurses about
Pee Wee Reese.)
Actually, we
doubt Grossinger's served herring in cream anywhere near as good as Blue
Ribbon's. You've got your heavy bowl filled with onion pieces and
big, soft, sweet slabs of good herring, and it's all held together by dollops
of sour cream so that you're eating a soulfully and pungently fragrant
bowl of peasant food that goes down easy and pads the gut in a satisfying way.
You've also got your beer near to hand, and hopefully some friends around
you–here with you at this smart, casual, excellent restaurant. Or maybe
you're alone, sitting all sleek at the bar, dreaming of the timeless glamour
and sophistication of the Catskills in days of yore.

case of Barrio, whose appellation is presumably a nod to the former L.E.S. slum
that it has recently come to inhabit, the name manages not only to confound,
but to pander and insult as well. For starters, we doubt there's anything
about Stanton's bodegaville era that Barrio's proprietors (or the
bohemian gentry who patronize it) would ever care to see replicated in their
dining experience. Dogshit stew, perhaps? Baking diaper chowder? A DJ to distract
you with obstreperous, bone-rattling crack-merengue while monster rats make
off with your seared tuna and taro roots? It'd be quite another thing if
Barrio actually served Mexican or Dominican food or Hispanic anything food:
high-end pan-Latino, beans 'n' rice, whatever. But we can only gather
that the name is a sort of cute homage whose meaning must somehow point to the
physical space.
interior some kind of loving evocation of regions Chicano? Of the dusty, forlorn,
dilapidated quarters of say, East Los Angeles, or Mexico City? Not that we can
tell. Take the dining area, accented mainly by a tin ceiling, abundant brasswork
and exposed brick. It most recalls the vast interiors of middlebrow yuppie chow
halls from the early 90s, Ernie's and that kind of thing. The tiki lounge
on the second floor is robust with extravagant Polynesian/Thai furniture. No,
the only Hispanic architectural nod in the entire place is the rather cartoonish
pyramid structure that sits atop the kitchen and upon which rest some artifacts
vaguely suggestive of pre-Columbian Oaxaca: quite fitting if the descendants
of Zapotec should one day descend the misty cliffs of Monte Alban and hobble
up to New York City for an evening of pan-Euro fusion.

Best Salad
Veggie Tales.
Time was when salad was the last thing we'd think of ordering at Veselka.
It's tough to say whether our newfound devotion reflects some sort of personal
growth or just recognition of an item more consistent with the Ukranian eatery's
relatively recent renovation and scrubbed sleekness. Whatever. At $7.50, Veselka's
East Village Spinach Salad is one mother of a meal. It does what any honest
salad should, balancing the sweet-sharp savor of feta and bacon against a base
of crisp, hearty roughage. (Add $1.45 and they throw on a generous portion of
grilled chicken strips.) With a foundation of fresh spinach, chopped raw carrots,
feta, mushrooms and hard-boiled egg, it's a dream for anyone who's
into the carbohydrate temperance craze, providing a solid charge of protein,
while nodding to a more healthy notion of nutrition vis-a-vis the raw veggies
and leafy greens. But heck, that's health talk. As a friend of ours says:
Health talk, dumb; big green salad, good! Our only regret is that with all that
heaping spinach, it becomes a little hard to manage, distracting us and requiring
that we unbury our head from our reading material. So do as we do and ask the
chef to chop up the spinach for you. It's a small but helpful accommodation
he's usually more than happy to make.

Thai Without
Strings. Man, but this place kicks ass. And if there's better Thai
food in Brooklyn (we've heard tell of a certain well-established Thai hipster
destination restaurant in West Bushwick–sorry, we mean Williamsburg),
we'll eat our hat. Summer rolls as fresh, ah, as daisies–and curries
as soft, silky and smooth as the insides of a Swedish virgin's thighs (you're
right, that was gross). Wash whatever good food you've ordered down with
measures of Sierra Nevada in frosty glasses, or else with that glorious mixture
of strong joe and super-sweet condensed milk known as Thai iced coffee, and
you'll be all right.
But it's
not only the food. What we like about this place is the handsome, monochromatic
concrete-floored ambience, which we find reassuring. There's none of that
crappy tikki-tacky Asian decor that always bums us out when we encounter it
in Thai joints–Joya vibes like a regular restaurant that just happens to
serve good Thai food, rather than like an orientalist theme park. There's
a wonderful little garden out back when the weather's nice, cool art on
the walls, the usual well-dressed young semi-bohemian clientele and what appears
to be a relatively fecund pick-up scene at the bar up front.

Mental over Bellevue. The Mars Bar has the best local jukebox, and the Library
has the one on which we're most likely to find that favorite song that
no one else knows, but only Bellevue's musical selections can light up
our life for an entire evening. Over at this Hell's Kitchen spot it isn't
unusual to hear Nirvana's "In Bloom" followed by Halford's
"Made in Hell" and AC/DC's "It Ain't No Fun (Waitin'
Round to Be a Millionaire)." If that doesn't do it for us, we put
in Guns 'N Roses. It doesn't hurt that Bellevue has a fascinating
selection of behind-the-bar paraphernalia (old monster masks, weird bottles,
Elvises), one extremely hot bartender, Pac-Man and a copious back area used
for infrequent but rocking parties. The bottom line is that we used to love
Q104.3 before it went classic rock, and this is the only place in the city that
approximates its old playlists. We're always on alert at the bar, however,
for women named "Mimi," former "record executives" and liquor
spilled on us by drunk barmaids (the hot one is never drunk).

rather like big hair on a country singer. And they're served with what
is unhelpfully called "special sauce" that is a heated mix of sweet,
sour, Chinese five spice, who knows what else. But the whole show is satisfying,

Okay, this is going to take a little bit of explaining, because if you've

a different, and appealing, reality unfolds around you. The tables are mostly
empty, so you can spread out while you drink your very good coffee, peer out
the window at the quiet and leafy street and ease yourself into the new day.
Here's a bunch of regulars, coming in for takeout coffee, for a happy word
with the waitress and to throw their coins on the counter and grab the newspapers
off the rack on their way out. At the next table down, there's a cop in
uniform, eating breakfast and talking about the Mets with the guy working the
griddle across the room. In other words, you're watching a community come
to life and conduct itself in a way that transcends the diner's twee ambience.
And especially when the autumn light's right, and the sun's coming

of Lower Manhattan can deplete your bank account faster than Internet gambling,
so every now and then we'd balance out the overpriced veggie wraps and
French-Malaysian joints and eat on the cheap. It doesn't get any cheaper
than Fried Dumpling, where a greenback gets you five mouse-sized nuggets of

Kang Suh garnered 1996 New York Press honors for "Best Family Style

Mandoo, Kang Suh's subway-station atmosphere looked worse every year, until
finally the restaurant just didn't cut it except for postmidnight excursions
with one's most intrepid friends. Now Kang Suh's big upstairs room
has been remodeled, and though the results aren't going to win any decor
awards, new life has been breathed into the space. Kang Suh serves Korean food
at its most unpretentiously salty and red-hot. The place was full and lively
every time we've visited this year, and all of the items on the book-length
menu were available.
Kang Suh is
just about the only restaurant in Koreatown with both a decent sushi bar and
real charcoal (never gas) table barbecues. We love grilling our own shrimp,
but the shortribs marinated in soy sauce tend to go over even better. (Be careful
not to put utensils that touched raw meat in your mouth!) You can do no better
than Kang Suh's steamy miso and seaweed broths on a cold winter night.
And their bibimbop in a hot stone pot is so bold in its gooey, crusty deliciousness
that you'll wonder why upscale Korean joints bother pretending that their

recalling saloons of the 20s and 30s. Or the long, smooth bolts of unvarnished
maple and birch that run through the single rectangular room, framing it like
an exoskeleton. Or the way the place shimmers with its own sere, honey-ish luminescence–at
once romantic and bright enough to read by.
Are these touches
actually there? They are. That we enjoy them while not really noticing them
is exactly what makes us so partial to Louis: like the most sublime of jazz
harmonies there's no single element here calling out for attention. No
competition from superior bartenders either, or an overloud sound system, DJs,
cellphones or loud talkers. Even on Wednesdays, when there's live jazz
(the place is named for Louis Armstrong), you can still have a conversation,
still hear yourself think. Because of this you'll find a lot of twosomes–couples
or friends–coming in to nibble on cheese plates, sampling the grape (the
list is short, accessible, but still capable of pleasing most palates) and talking,
a primary activity this place is quite automatically conducive to. We hope Louis
continues to be the generous, understated place it's established itself

Best Pizza-Related
Yeah, Domino's,
and What of It? There is alleged "New York" pizza within delivery
distance of our apartment, but, um, it really isn't all that. There's
a Ray's, which blows, and Rosario's, which after all the hubbub to
save it after it was displaced by the aforementioned Ray's, really isn't
all that happening either. Stromboli's on 1st and St. Marks has gone way
downhill, same thing with Nino's on Ave. A. We'd order from Stromboli's
on University Pl. if they'd deliver to us, but we're too far away.
Same thing with the Ray's on 6th Ave. What are we supposed to do? It sucks
for us, but are we supposed to eat subpar pie out of principled distaste for
corporate pizza?

You had where in mind? Molyvos? The Hard Rock Cafe? The Irish place right
up 7th Ave. from 57th St., where we used to like to go, until we got tired of
lacrosse players in business rigs hyped up on after-work whiskeys, bellowing
about Jorge Posada and elbowing us in the jaw?
No. If we want
to meet for a drink around 57th St., we'll go upscale with it, and drop
by the Russian Tea Room. Why not? There's a beautiful, sizable bar right
inside the door, the stools are comfortable enough that you can sleep on them
and any establishment on the planet that presumes to serve Russian cuisine is
obligated to know its way around cold, hard spirits. So pleasant is it to have
a drink here amidst the Tea Room's famous red and green and aureate splendor,
in fact, that we've put a little effort into wondering why we didn't
think of this years ago. Like many diners in New York, we've got a sentimental
attachment to the Tea Room, but we're almost perversely hoping that the
disappointing reviews the restaurant's attracted since its recent reopening
persist. If the notices get better, the place'll get more crowded–foodies
will start flocking, in addition to the elderly loyalists and the tourists from
the sticks–and it will become that much more difficult to belly on up and
acquire a Stoli on the rocks.

Best Nachos
Chase Them
with a Dos Equis Draft. No idea why, but a month ago there was a nacho feeding
frenzy during the late innings of the Mets-Marlins game out at Shea. Maybe the
concession behind Loge 6 was having a (gastric) distress sale of some sort,
because all of a sudden a stream of nacho bearers came parading by. Every couple
of minutes there was some poor slob with a gigantic pile of soggy chips heaped
with steaming, Alpo-looking "meat" bathed in a reddish-orange sauce,
further slopped with liquid cheez and mounds of sour "cream." We love
our junk food, but these piles were gross, and smelled as bad as they looked.
To erase that
horrid sight and smell from our mind, we went to Mexican Radio for some real
nachos. They're great–nice, crunchy tortilla chips (sometimes red,
blue and yellow all at once) with solid black or pinto beans nestled on top,
accessorized by chewy muenster cheese, some potent fresh sauce and–here's
the best part–pickled jalapeno rings. The rings add good texture along
with the heat, and the whole plate sets off that little mariachi band that lives
in our head, resting calmly until just such fantastic nacho occasions arise.

Though it's a few blocks from the last stop on the A train at the western

the shrimp basket. Our waitress (heart-of-gold cholita: black lycra skull cap

the order to the grill and returns with a handful of salt packets and ketchup
in a plastic squeeze bottle. "I love these things," says Chudling,
"because you can individually ketchup each fry." When our orders arrive
on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils he does precisely that. We all do.
The fries are good, apparently freshly cut. The chicken sandwich is another

fast-food white bread bun upon a leaf of lettuce and an anemic slice of tomato.

it was precisely within it that, when the weather was fine, you could find the

they're out there, then we're alone in here, which we've
found kind of nice. Imagine it: wake up on a Sunday morning, slouch over to
Casimir, cursing the summer sun, and when you get there with your newspapers,
the whole big beautiful bistro premises are (mostly) yours and yours alone,
and you can spread out in one of the banquettes, revivify yourself with eggs
and a bloody mary, and have absolutely no experience of the chattering, the
waiting, the low-level hysteria, that generally attends Manhattan brunching.
On sunny summer days at Casimir, they do you a favor, if you're smart enough

most of it, after all, should be). That's a nice thing.

and maybe because he's tan and gorgeous and making our mother blush, she
agrees and we end up with a large pitcher sitting between our pita plates. The

but in Sicily. It was as black as printer's ink and very pungent, almost
gamy, if you can say that of a seafood. Lots of Americans, even New Yorkers,
would probably be scared of it. Le Zie wisely offers a lighter, more laidback
squid ink sauce, with taglialini slipping around in it like pasta eels, and
a few mussels and baby shrimp tossed in, more or less as garnish to the main

Best New Lounge
Come on
in, Abaya One. Lost amidst the closings of Coney Island High and Wetlands,
a little-known dive bar called the Spiral shut its doors last year. The Spiral
was the place to hear the worst rock music in New York City; it was where high
school kids played before their auditions at CBGB. Some great tunes were played
there, and we shed a tear for the Spiral when it closed, but we're forgetting
quickly because its replacement, Abaya, is so damn good. With two bars, little
icons on the wall that look like they were taken from Blink 182's Take
Off Your Pants and Jacket and a ribbed couch carved out of the wall
stretching from floor to ceiling, the lounge's decor is totally resplendent.
It's a commendable attempt in 2001 to make a bar that actually looks like
it belongs in 2001. The crowd is developing nicely, with the initial collection
of East Village ruffians giving way to celebrities and MTV castoffs who know
how to dress. The drinks are expensive, yes, but on many nights you can catch
a break on certain brands of liquor; the music is listenable if you're
alone, unintrusive if you're on a date.
The door policy
is the only wrench in the works. Abaya's staff will ask, "How did
you hear about this place?" when you try to enter; don't freak, it
isn't a spy trick. Owner Frank is simply trying to collect some marketing
information. So say where you heard about the best new spot in New York and
you'll be let in, gingerly.

it's all about the fries. They come with mayo. Light golden batonettes

"I wanna expose my perfect classmate's weak point!"Husky and Medley is a Yuri romance manga illustrated by pixiv artist Kurosada. The dialogue is almost entirely based on chat logs housed on the Japanese internet forum 2channel, which purportedly chronicles the real life events of the eponymous characters, and making it something of a Distaff Counterpart to Densha Otoko.The story begins when a female high school student (code-named "Medley") who attends an all-girls school turns to her fellow 2ch anons for advice on how to find the "weak-point" of one of her classmates (code-named "Husky"), who Medley has had a long-standing crush on. On the urging of her compatriots, Medley initiates a somewhat suggestive conversation with Husky via text-message, and eventually builds up the nerve to invite Husky over to her house.What follows is a chronicle of the girls' budding relationship, with Medley dropping in to update 2ch about their progress and to seek out suggestions on how to take things to the next level.

A study in the journal Nature could help explain why the Earth's average temperature hasn't increased during the past 15 years — despite a long-term trend of global warming.
The Earth's average temperature has risen by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But the temperature rise has not been moving in lock step with the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide — mainly from burning fossil fuels — traps heat in the air.

Greetings fellow Texans fans,
Let's talk Texans Training Camp. The biggest question right now isn't the returning injured players. No it's how fast will DeAndre Hopkins earn the trust of Matt Schaub. NFL Soothsayers expect big things from "Nuk", but big things don't happen for wide receivers if their QB isn't looking their way. As much good as Matt Schaub is, he has a tendency to look to Johnson when the pressure is on and other teams know it.
Of course, we all want to know if Cushing can return to full power, ready to command the troops in the huddle. Mentally, not worried. It's his knee that has to respond to the challenge. I can only imagine how eager he is to step back onto the field. Cheerleading from the sidelines doesn't suit him.
The biggest hurdle is going to be Gary Kubiak. It's time for him to evolve the offense into something less predictable. He's got a lot of young raw talent to complement the core. This off season hasn't been just about players recovering from injury or the O-Line settling out. It's about how Kubiak moves the team forward. Obviously we won't know till that first series in San Diego but heres hoping he let's it all hang out. He won't survive another one and out in the playoffs.
Finally, for you faithful fans, I'm the new writer here at Toro Times. All I'm going to say is hang on it's gonna be a heck'va ride this season and I'll be there for you with the rest of the staff to bring you the latest news, insight and opinions on our beloved Texans as the season unfolds. Looking forward to this as much as ya'll are!

Rajon Rondo is in the news today, even though this is a case of old news that is trying to be passed off as new news by a desperate website.
Confused? Don't worry – I'm here for you! Back on April 19, in an interview with Baxter Holmes of the Boston Globe, Rajon Rondo was asked the following question, with his answer given directly afterwards:
Q. There are guys like Kobe Bryant who say they want to be consulted on moves, free agent acquisitions, stuff like that. Do you want that?
A. Yeah, I guess. I want to know what's going on, but Danny communicates with me, talks to me about guys he might possibly bring in during the trade deadline. Obviously, nothing happened [at this season's deadline], but communication lines were open. They've been honest.
Clearly, this interview is not considered "recent," but that is exactly how the folks over at Bleacher Report referred to it today – this just in! Almost one month ago, Rajon Rondo said . . . .
Way to be on top of this, guys!
At any rate, now that Rondo's interview has been resurrected from the dead, it's worth asking – should Rondo be consulted for certain personnel decisions the Boston Celtics will make during this long, critical offseason?
On the one hand, Rondo is the team captain, and the floor general. I'm sure he has a vision of which type of players he feels he can enjoy the most success with. For that reason, and the fact that Boston would like Rajon to re-sign with the team in 2015, I can see why the Celtics would consider soliciting Rondo's input on some issues.
However, the fact that Kobe Bryant is referenced in the interview troubles me. Bryant is exactly known as being the sort of guy who brings teams together, so if Rondo wants to be more like Kobe, that's not a good sign for the Celtics. Boston is going to have a very young team on its hands the next few years; do we want Rondo establishing himself as a player who is "above" everyone else like that?
Time for you to weigh in! Vote, and then let me hear your reasons in the comments section below!

It started like a train wreck.
High-priced players, lofty expectations and a rookie coach were the ingredients that stirred the Brooklyn Nets pot to begin the season. Whatever was in that pot stunk up the Barclays Center something awful, to the tune of 10-21 to begin the season.
It appeared as if the Brooklyn ownership had made a huge mistake bringing in brittle veterans and Jason Kidd to lead them. Pundits called for the head of Kidd on a platter as he showed his Mark Jackson diva-like attitude banishing his top assistant from his side citing "philosophical differences." They had no direction, they couldn't stay healthy, they couldn't rebound and just weren't viable.
And it was all seemingly Kidd's fault.
Then sometime just before the start of 2014, Kidd invoked a wardrobe change. He stopped wearing ties to the games for no identifiable reason. He also told Kevin Garnett he would have to play center in light of the season-ending injury to Brook Lopez. Lineup change after lineup change ensued which eventually shifted Paul Pierce to power forward. Kidd adopted a smaller lineup and stuck with it. Deron Williams started to play regularly and Brooklyn began to form an identity as a defensive-minded team with decent half-court execution.
An improbable road win against the vaunted Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 2 may have been the catalyst of change to Brooklyn's season (in addition to Kidd ditching ties). Joe Johnson launched a shot that drew rain at the buzzer in a never-say-die affair with OKC, giving Brooklyn a 95-93 win and the Nets that were supposed to be were born.
In that game they were seemingly over-matched and could have laid dead in the water accepting their usual tricks of the early season. But as if they were in a Rocky movie, they never gave up. They bonded together to rally in the final quarter before Iso-Joe did his thing to score his eighth and ninth points of the evening.
Since the beginning of the new year, the Nets are 27-11 and they look like a team that could pose danger to others in the Eastern Conference. The media and fans are no longer calling for Kidd's head but they aren't clamoring to give him credit for turning things around either.
That's the nature of the job I suppose.
Given the fact that Brooklyn was supposed to challenge the East's elite and potentially win the Atlantic Division at the start of the season, it seems to be a case of "what took so long" for Kidd's improved Nets in the minds of his early critics. Making in-season adjustments that work out with a banged up roster seems to be a matter of luck or happenstance as opposed to good old fashioned coaching ingenuity.
Nobody is claiming that Kidd is all of a sudden Gregg Popovich or has become a master motivator like John Wooden. It's too early for any of that especially without a playoff win under his soon to be Hall of Fame (as a player) belt. But it's a bit of shame that he can't get credit for turning around what could have been a doubly miserable season for basketball fans in New York.
Kidd and the Nets press on while injuries continue to nip at them like tiny dogs with inferiority complexes. They have a chance to win the Atlantic Division and could actually have home court advantage in the first-round of the playoffs if things break just right. Go figure.
The man with 12,091 career assists has given his team another one, just in a different role that breeds far less credit under the circumstances. And that isn't likely to change anytime soon no matter where Brooklyn winds up this season.
It's much easier to tear down than to build and that seems to be case for Kidd when it comes to getting any credit he deserves this season.

Fight Like A Woman [ATLA+LOK]
I think I love GITS Motoko over SAC Motoko!
CHARACTER PROFILE: Junko Kaname
Madoka Magica has lots of likable characters, but the "magical girl" characters tend to get most of the fan-attention. This isn't exactly unjustified considering they're the ones with cool magical powers, and they do all the fighting and killing of witches, but only ever talking about the girls does a serious disservice to an excellant side-character: Junko Kaname, Madoka's mother.

The Cincinnati Bengals scored a signature win yesterday with their 34-30 win over the Green Bay Packers, and even head coach Marvin Lewis admitted it was big:
"We're a good football team. We'll keep proving it. The Packers are a good team. If we want to be a good team, we have to beat good teams. That's how you end up being a great team. If we can keep improving in the critical areas of the game, we'll be alright. We have good players here too and they showed up today."
But he also noted how building off of it and wining this week vs the Cleveland Browns is just as important:
"It's no bigger than next week. That's what the NFL is — a lead in to the next game. This is all for nothing if we don't take care of business the next week and the next week."
He was also happy to see someone other than A.J. Green step-up at receiver:
"Some of the most beautiful things in the second half were when we allowed the quarterback to let things happen and throw the ball to the open guy — kind of like when he threw the ball to Marvin Jones for the touchdown. You can't always force the ball to A.J. (Green). We have other good players. Mo (Mohamed Sanu) had some great plays out there today and we just have to keep that up."

Autonomy ZANTAZ Announces Support of EDRM Program's New XML Standard for Electronic Discovery Processes
CAMBRIDGE, England and PLEASANTON, California, October 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ZANTAZ, an Autonomy company (LSE: AU. or AU.L) and the leader in the archiving, eDiscovery and Proactive Information Risk Management (IRM) markets, today announced...
CAMBRIDGE, England and PLEASANTON, California, October 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ZANTAZ, an Autonomy company (LSE: AU. or AU.L) and the leader in the archiving, eDiscovery and Proactive Information Risk Management (IRM) markets, today announced support of an Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard developed by the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) Program to facilitate the industry-wide transfer of electronically stored information (ESI) from one application to another. Autonomy ZANTAZ was a co-leader in this initiative and is fully committed to supporting the new standard across its entire IRM platform, including both its electronic discovery and consolidated archiving products. This comprehensive IRM platform is the first and only solution with the ability to address each step within the EDRM framework, delivering data throughout the eDiscovery lifecycle from capture to production.
A highly-regarded initiative within the legal industry, the EDRM Project was created in 2005 to address the lack of standards and guidelines in the electronic discovery market. The reference model subsequently completed by the group provides a common, flexible and extensible framework for the development, selection, evaluation and use of electronic discovery products and services. Over the past three years, the EDRM project has comprised more than 118 organizations, including 72 service and software providers, 34 law firms, three industry groups and nine corporations involved with eDiscovery.
Recognizing the value of a single, standardized data format for all electronic discovery processes, Autonomy ZANTAZ was a key driver within the EDRM Project in developing the agreed-upon common XML code, providing the initial technology foundation on which the standard could be built. This standardization provides a monumental leap forward for the industry, enabling IT departments, legal teams and service providers to reduce valuable time and resources spent converting and transferring ESI from system to system. In addition, the single data format alleviates the corporate risk of manipulated or even lost data that is sometimes a result of converting information from one format to another.
"Autonomy ZANTAZ' position as a leader in the electronic discovery marketplace made them a clear choice to help define the common proprietary format for the industry to use across all discovery applications going forward," said Georges Socha, co-founder of EDRM and president of Socha Consulting LLC. "Given the impressive volume of ESI that they continually process in both their eDiscovery and archiving offerings, Autonomy ZANTAZ was able to provide a strong level of insight and expertise that will undoubtedly ease adoption of the XML standard in the months to come."
Showing true commitment to the new standard, Autonomy ZANTAZ is the first offering in the market with the ability to fully support the EDRM XML across all of the company's IRM products and services, which include media restoration, consolidated archiving, advanced electronic data discovery, review, production, real-time policy management and analytics. The recent release of Introspect 6, Autonomy ZANTAZ' number one leading eDiscovery review tool, was specifically designed with this capability, enabling legal professionals to immediately begin processing data in accordance with the EDRM standard. Autonomy ZANTAZ extends support beyond the traditionally defined eDiscovery space by also supporting the standard within EAS, the market leading consolidated archive solution.
By supporting a single proprietary data format for the capture, processing and review of ESI, Autonomy ZANTAZ' IRM platform is the only end-to-end solution that allows organizations to proactively manage their data throughout the entire discovery process, as outlined by the EDRM model, all through one single vendor. Enterprises can now seamlessly move their data through the eDiscovery lifecycle - from identification to preservation and collection, review and analysis, production and ultimately presentation - without the need to engage additional parties who could potentially taint the "chain-of-custody" or negatively impact the consistency of accurate data production.

Ah' Pizz -- Authentic Neopolitan pizza in Montclair
- Curlz May 16, 2010 01:27 PM
Great news! For those of us who love real-deal Neopolitan pizza (read: NOT foldable 8-slice American pizza), we have a new spot in northern NJ: Ah' Pizz, which is on North Willow Street in Montclair, is doing it right--it's just that simple. And simple is the key to this style of pizza, imo.
I got turned on to Neopolitan pizza thanks to the Tommy: Eats blog, and became a big fan of Roberto's stunning pies at A Mano in Ridgewood. I have since become a big fan of Keste, Roberto's NYC restaurant, and have introduced many friends who weren't familiar with the genre. This is not, as I said above, American style pizza. There's nothing wrong with that kind(when done right), but there's something more satisfying (to me, at least) about this simple list of (mostly imported) fresh ingredients being put together with TLC and love, then thrust into an 800 to 1000 degree oven for 2 minutes or less that makes me feel like I'm eating something GOOD. This is NOT takeout food. This is eat-it-the-minute-it-arrives food. And SIMPLE is the key.
Tommy's recent post about Ah' Pizz sent me running to check it out last night, along with a good friend who's also a Keste fan, and a bottle of my favorite sangiovese. Again, simplicity is the key here...there is a parking lot, so no circling around looking for a spot, and we were greeted by a genuinely friendly manager and then waitress and handed a short menu of maybe 3-4 salads, half a dozen pizzas, and a couple of specials. My friend went for the special, which had sopressata, red onion, Kalamata olives, and smoked mozzarella. I had the salsiccia, which is a margherita with big chunks of wonderful sausage on top. Let's put it this way...unless I'm meeting friends who live up that way, I don't need to go up to A Mano any more to get my NJ Neopolitan fix.
Desserts include the expected, but again, done with the best ingredients/purveyors. The cannoli was freshly filled, and the gelato comes from Sotto Zero in North Arlington--where the owner makes the gelato, including the base, from scratch. UNHEARD OF.
A full report that really tells you more than I can is here: http://tinyurl.com/2bgmpee
Bottom line: If you're not familiar with Neopolitan pizza, go, and go with an open mind. Order your own (they only come in one size, as is standard in Italy), share with others if you're so inclined, but try something new, and enjoy it! And if you know Neopolitan pizza, go check it out and see if you agree that this place is a welcome addition to this part of northern NJ.

re: harrison
I'm really hoping that they politely explain WHY they don't take phone orders or deliver, and based on my conversations with the manager, owner, and wait staff, they should have that ability; these folks are definitely service-focused!
People wouldn't call Fascino expecting delivery because it's not THAT type of restaurant. And Neopolitan pizza just isn't THAT type of cuisine; hopefully those who are really interested in good food will go in and try it so they can understand!
And fwiw, I do think you can go in and get a pie to go, but again, that's not the idea...
331 Bloomfield Ave., Montclair, NJ 07042
Ah'Pizz received a shout out in the New York Times last month. Short, but the PR should help this place.
I took you at your word on Sotto and was quite disappointed by what I found.Sadly the lemon rosemary was not available,but I did try a number of others and they all pretty much missed the mark for me.I tend not to like many of the domestic Gelateria offerings as they are often over sweetened to suit American tastes.The problem I found here was that there was no consistency or balance in any that I tried,apart from good texture.The Chocolate was dense and intense,but really needed more sugar.The Pear wasn't bad (and this is usually a difficult one to get right ) but was weak in flavor.Overall the Strawberry was probably the most satisfying,but I couldn't even call that a standout after many weak samplings.Amanos Gelato s always seemed like an afterthought to me and of questionable consistency.The PreGel packages just don't cut it for me.
I hope to hit the pizzeria in Montclair sometime soon.A lot of aspiring people have been through the Neapolitan pizzerias in the area,some have been good and some not ,so it's a crapshoot what you get and where and when IMO.
We've only been there once, back during their soft opening. We found their ingredients and product to be first rate. the owner's mother also makes first class cannoli. In the short time they've been open (judging by what we see when we drive by, which is pretty frequent), they seem to have attracted a following. Their proximity to the Wellmont on concert nights, along with their price point (as an absolute, not just for pizza), have to be helping. I wish them well. For us, pizza is normally a takeout thing, and this pizza is really meant to be consumed on site.
OK, so i finally made it today for lunch. They had an appetizer special of roasted asparagus with prosciutto. It was fabulous - not your usual charred asparagus - but nicely cooked and the prosciutto was practically melting. I am assuming this has to do with the heat of the oven. It was dressed with a balsamic reduction and olive oil. I t was truly sublime. I ordered the signature pizza, Ah'Pizz with plum tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and parmigiano. It was excellent, though I though the crust was just a little too chewy. Having lived in Italy, it was a great experience and it was a wonderful stroll down my gustatory memory lane, but seriously - $16.00 for an individual pizza? As much as I loved it, I'd have to think twice about going back.
re: bropaul
$16?? REALLY? That's obscene--I have to agree. Unless it was one of their specials, that sounds high even there. For giggles I just looked at the Keste site; in the W. Village w/high rent, Roberto's pizzas range from $9 to $19, with the higher end including prosciutto or salame or other more expensive ingredients.
re: bropaul
I'm agreeing with bropaul about heading back, but it isn't the price that keeps me away...I thought the pizza was only ok -- and bropaul is right that the prices is a bit high. I was expecting a lot, and the decor is great. But the pizza was only ok. Three star rating is helped by the nice space but the pizza could have been more flavorful.

re: NJfoodstuff
Which Neapolitan style places serve pizza with more flavor?
re: NJfoodstuff
Is Bivio making Neapolitan style pizza? The term "brick oven," although used a lot, doesn't do much to describe the style of pizza that a place is making.
re: tommy
Real brick oven -- in a very, very similar oven to Ah'Pizz. Check out the pictures online at http://www.biviopizza.com/Photos/phot...
This place is average. The sausage pizza, cheese pizza and the Nutella pizza was nothing special. I was expecting better... For similar wood/brick oven pizza of a much better quality, I would suggest trying "A Mano" in Ridgewood, NJ. The service at Ah' Pizz was just passable. There are so many better restaurants in Montclair, so I will not be back.
re: syber
Syber, I have to respectfully disagree. I was an early fan of A Mano and even continued to go after Roberto left, but after the experience I had there a couple of weeks ago, which included OVERCOOKED pizza + some of THE. WORST. SERVICE. I've ever had, I'm done with A Mano.
My conclusion is that in expanding their menu, they're catering to the people who (as a pals says) don't 'get' what real Neopolitan pizza is (see: Ewwww...it's wet in the middle!), so now the place is busier and serving what was, imo, a very bad version of what used to be stunning pizza (there). Whereas Ah' Pizz is cranking on all cylinders these days, and they still have excellent dough, know how to cook it, AND you can finish your meal with the best cannoli!
ETA: The service issues at A Mano were truly appalling, and included having our wine dripped all over the glasses and table, a waiter who was completely MIA (as in, he probably went home--we never laid eyes on him again and had to pull someone else over), and a truly 'dirty' cappucino. I seriously can't recall a night of such awful service anywhere else!
In the now-never-ending Neopolitan pizza wars here in NNJ, and in the spirit of honesty, I'm here to say that I have to agree that Ah' Pizz has lost its luster for me. (Note: this is NOT simply because I am now swooning over Mancinni's - see tommyeats.com for more info about that)
I've been back to Ah' Pizz recently and it was just...okay. We sat at the 'bar,' so I can't say the pizza wasn't hot and right-from-the-oven, but I found the crust a little tough, the smoked mozz a little saltier than usual, and it just didn't WOW me. And that's without going in to any service 'issues' (Sidebar: whywhyWHY do places object to writing down orders? I don't care if there are only 3 of us...WRITE IT DOWN). Friends who are regulars there also say something has changed.
I continue to hear mixed reports from A Mano as well, which leads me to wonder if these places are potentially changing their ingredients, perhaps to cut costs--and/or not sticking with pizzaolas who have been properly trained or are experienced enough to put out consistent products. I just read that Don Antonio (Roberto's partner in midtown NYC) was at A Mano in the last couple of months, so maybe they're stepping things up (again). Still, with Mancinni's (Montclair) and Arturo's (Maplewood) within easy reach, I don't have much reason to go to Ridgewood for pizza.
re: Curlz
We went to Ah' Pizz last week. Within 3 minutes of ordering, the appetizers came out. Which tells you that everything is precooked/prepared in advance, although I did enjoy the meatball sliders. The pizzas were undercooked on top, burnt on the crust, OK in taste, but worth the price? No. In fact, they are generally a little expensive, for salads with a couple of ingredients they charge around $10. Meh. I'm with Curlz, for good pizza, I will stick with Arturo's.
re: tootsnj
Our pizza was a glop of cheese that slid off when you raised it. Pasta unimpressive. We weren't fans . Won't be back.
re: Curlz
I've been to Amano twice in the last 6 months- both times with a group of Neapolitan pizzeria owners and/or serious hobbyists (soon to be owners). Both times were very early in the day so the place was relatively empty and the servers were not at all taxed. We had one or two people that were blown away and the rest of the group was impressed. I prefer the extra bit of chew and moisture in Forcella's crust, but, compared to Keste, Motorino, Don Antonio, Paulie Gees, Robertas, Barboncino, and Nomad, Amano more than stands it's own. At least from a crust perspective. Toppings wise, they have nothing that touches Keste's Lardo, Motorino's Brussels Sprouts or the Hellboy at Paulie Gees.
Roberto has recently gone a bit toppings crazy at Keste, so hopefully some of that creativity will bleed over to this side of Hudson.
I still have yet to visit Ah' Pizz. Between Robert getting caught up in a fib about knowing Roberto and their lack of gravitas in the promotional video, I just wasn't feeling it. Being in Montclair didn't help either.
If they were located in a more accessible area, like Morristown, I definitely would have given it a shot. Speaking of Morristown, when I spoke with Roberto 6 months ago, he told me that one of his students was opening a Neapolitan pizzeria in Morristown. I've googled this a few times and come up with nothing. It could be a Morristown/Moorestown thing. Anyone hear anything?
