Flushing walking food tour + restaurant recommendations please (researched)!!
- i
- indiefoodie Jan 4, 2012 08:05 PM
Let me start out by thanking the likes of Lau, ScoopG, Kathryn and the others whose inputs I've used in putting this together!
The idea is for 3-4 of us who live in Manhattan to spend a day feasting on Flushing's best! We were thinking of just walking and eating small portions at different places. We'll eat anything so no problems there, it just has to be delicious and extra points if everything has different flavors. None of us speak any Chinese BTW (but I'm thinking about Double Dragon which is a discussion for another day ;). I also came across some restaurants during my research that I'd like to visit (probably some other time).
I'd be thankful for any advice on my choice of places and dishes, things I may have missed, etc.
It seems like a very large majority of this comprises of dumplings and noodles. Is there something that I could add to this for some variety?
1. White Bear:
- Wontons in hot oil and frozen dumplings for home
2. Flushing Mall:
- Temple Snacks: Gua Bao
- Yong He: Xian Dou Jian, Fan Tuan, Sao You Tiao, Dan Bing
- Ah Zhong: Dan Bing
- Shaved ice at the juice and shaved ice stall
3. Golden Mall:
- Lanzhou hand pulled noodles (Any dish recommendations?)
- Chengdu Heaven: Dan Dan noodels
- Xian: Been to the East Village branch loads of times so low priority
- Wang-Zheng's halal snacks
4. Nan Xiang
- Xiao Long Bao
5. Corner 28
- Roast duck buns (People seem to have a mixed response to these so relatively low priority)
6. Fu Run
- Muslim lamb chop
7. Nan Shian Dumpling House
- Soup Dumpling
8. Chiu's
- Fried dumpling
9. Soy Bean Chan (The Flower Shop)
- Tian Dou Tiag
10. Xin Jiang BBQ Master
- BBQ Kebabs
11. New World Food Mall
- Beautiful Memory desserts (Mango Pancake)
- Lao Ma Mala Tang: Mala Xiang Guo (Medium Spicy)
1. Tong Sam Gyup Sal: This looks awesome. Can't wait to try their pork belly. Also, has anyone tried their beef intestines? Is there an easy way to get to this place from Flushing?
2. M&T: I haven't looked into specific dishes yet except the 'Sea Intestines'
3. Imperial Palace: Crab rice, crisply whole chicken, Peking pork shops, braised fish, pea shoots in crab sauce
4. Canton gourmet: Garlic crab and garlic chicken
5. Main Street Imperial Taiwanese ( Bei Gang): Cong Ting Tou, one of the Putzs, three cup 'something', oyster omelet
Would it be possible for us to club maybe one restaurant with the food tour or would that be torturing our stomachs?
Thanks a lot guys!! Cheers!!
Thanks indiefoodie! Very ambitious tour plans. Looks like this tour could feed a dozen folks!
Flushing Mall seems to get quieter every day. Temple Snacks is still going strong but I think Yong He and An Zhong are closed. There was huge tarp covering the spot where Yong He used to be yesterday. The Hand-Pulled Noodle spot as well as a few vendors on that end of the mall are still open.
I'd consider adding Henan Fengwei if you have not been already. M&T has just had an ownership change with the new owner also from Qingdao. They are currently using the old menu and whether that will change in the future I don't know.
re: scoopG
Thanks scoopG. I've been to He Nan Flavor for the dumplings and the big chicken plate a few times. Should I still consider Henan Fengwei?
Also, out the list of places that I have under the FOOD TOUR section, I think Fu Run is a sit down kind of a place that'll take a little time. What about the others? Do they prepare stuff after you order or is most of the stuff pre-made?
re: indiefoodie
Yes indiefoodie, I'd replace one of the Cantonese places with Henan Fengwei. You can get the Muslim Lamb Chop to go - it would be placed in a large aluminum tray. Bring a knife or ask them to make sure it is cut up. There's most always a wait at Nan Xiang so you could order the XLB then go Fu Run and order the Muslim Lamb Chop then go back to Nan Xiang. Everything is made to order. Of course the dumplings are made ahead of time - but they are usually always making them.

re: scoopG
Thanks. So, I guess Yong He and An Zhong are off the list. I tried to read a little about M&T and Henan Fengwei.
Has anyone been to M&T after the change in ownership? I wonder how would that affect things there. Anyways, for dishes there, I guess knowing the Chinese names would be helpful. I have some of them but can someone please help me with the others?
1. Jiu Cai Chao Hai Cheng (椒鹽嶗山蔘)
2. Gelatinuos & slippery pork in aspic
3. Cucumber with pieces of fatty meat from a pigs face
4. Fried pumpkin cake (Is this a dessert?)
5. Pork belly stewed in kelp
6. Squid heads with cumin & hot peppers
7. Jie Mo Mu Er (芥茉木耳) Mustard Tree Ears
8. Clenched fist fern stir friend with pork
9. Fei Hong Fish (What is this?)
10. Fried taro cakes (Is this a dessert?)
11. Fried pork belly (炸五花肉 Zha Wu Hua Rou)
Lastly, is a vegetable dish here that I could use to cut the meat overload?
For Henan Fengwei, I guess Chinese is not required. Since I've had the Da Pan Ji in Manhattan plenty of times, I thought of giving the foll. a try:
1. Shi Jing Sha Guo - 10 item casserole
2. Yong Rou Hui Mian - Lamb noodle soup
Is there something else that you feel I should add/remove from my list? Thanks!

re: indiefoodie
I stopped in on Wednesday and picked up the M&Tmenu, which was the same as the old one. Their menu is fully in English plus they have a dozen or more photos on the wall. Fei Hong Fish (or Chicken) is an interesting dish. Check to see what fresh vegetables they have when you go.
Here's more on Fei Hong:
re: indiefoodie
On my first visit to M&T, we found ourselves with a lot of fried stuff and asked for a vegetable dish. They brought us baby bok choy with black mushrooms that had a garlic sauce, if I remember correctly. That was my favorite dish of the night, so refreshing.
re: indiefoodie
RE Henan FengWei:
The 10-item casserole is a good thinking. :-) I'd also recommend their crispy meatballs for delicate textures and light, aromatic broth.
If you enjoy good noodles, their rendition is absolutely stellar. I'd order an extra scoop on the side, to soak the gravy.
Also, their boiled dumplings are one of the finest in Flushing: whatever fillings (pork and leeks, pork and cabbage, mutton) they have on the daily specials is probably worth it.
Re M&T:
Not sure what you meant in #1: looks like a small typo that mixed up two good dishes: one is squid with Jiu Cai 韭菜比管魚 (you might want to ask for extra Sichuan pepper/Hua Jiao for an extra kick), the other one is batter-fried LaoShan ginseng 椒鹽嶗山蔘.
#2, 皮凍, is surely delicious but quite generic, IMHO.
#10 is not a dessert and is not made of taro. For dessert, go 3 blocks down the street to Carnation Bakery (at the corner of the parking lot)
Two of my other favorites are (1) jelly fish and kidney, and (2) a Qindgao quick stir-fry 青島小炒 of root vegetables, peppers and bacon. You might also consider ordering more fresh seafood /fish dishes.
If you like the taste of sauteed or stir-fried green vegetables with garlic, you should always ask the waiter what kind of Chinese vegetables they recommend.
re: diprey11
Though the fried taro cakes may not be a dessert, we ordered the sweet potato cakes last time we were at M&T at the end of the meal and the waitress suggested we take half taro cakes. We ended up liking the taro cakes better, and they worked fine as a dessert for us.
re: Cheeryvisage
Ah! It is indeed :) I guess, its Nan Xiang Dumpling House for the Xiao Long Bao. Thanks for pointing that out.
Off the top of my head:
Try the Macao Pork Chop sandwich at Lan Kwai Fong.
It's a little out of the way but the lotus steamed pork at Hunan House is stellar, actually, there are multiple dishes at Hunan House that are stellar.
The three pepper chicken (boneless) at Spicy Tasty (ask for extra ma la)
The tea leaf sea bass at Mulan
The oxtail dish at Yi Lan Halal

re: Pookipichu
Lan Kwai Fong? As in Hongkong Central's Lan Kwai Fong? Please tell us more Pookipichu!
re: scoopG
Lol, it's not even Cantonese food, unfortunately. However, it's thai/viet/chinese fusion. It started very strong but the food has declined somewhat because I've noticed it's almost always empty :( which is a shame because it actually was great when they started.
They've also changed preparations, presentations a couple of times so I recommend with reservations.
I don't have pics of everything I've had there, I'm bad I know, the grilled beef papaya salad has slices of beef in a similar style to chinese beef and green pepper stir fry. When they first made it, it didn't have mayo based sauce directly on it, you can request it on the side. I'd say the flavors are quite good although the beef doesn't seem grilled to me.
The soft shell crab app has excellent flavor but I've had it three times, the first time it was crisp, not so much subsequent times. Comes with a tasty lime based dipping sauce.
The stuffed roasted chicken is like a drunken chicken pate with pork. It's served on very garlicky and crunchy points of toast.
The avocado and shrimp spring rolls are neither here nor there.
The pho is quite good, possibly the best in Flushing, which is not saying much but it's something. The broth is rich and meaty with anise notes. The basil and mung bean sprouts were beautiful when I had them. It comes with two sauces, chilli and a rich paste.
I've tried the grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken seems more like a fried cutlet than grilled chicken. First time it was great, second time, gristly.
The macao pork chop is the same as above, except a pork cutlet. Comes with pickled veggies on a toasty baguette. Best baguette in Flushing quite possibly. Their macao pork chop has been their most consistently delicious dish.
Lan Kwai Fong
135-23 40th Rd, Queens, NY 11354
Just a quick fyi re: the crab rice at Imperial Palace, if you haven't had it before, it's a very tasty dish, the rice is delicious, but the crab meat is a lot of work to get to and very messy. Just something to be mindful of because I have friends that won't even eat chicken if it's on the bone.
Imperial Palace
136-13 37th Ave, Queens, NY 11354
you've compiled a nice list
flushing mall - yong he is closed, but i think ah zong is still open, but yong he was the place to get dan bing from not ah zong
corner 28 - i think thats wrong, i definitely think you should get a peking duck bun, ive taken many many of my friends there (chinese and not) and no one has ever not liked it
tong sam gyup sal - you can get here very easily on the LIRR, its literally directly across the street from the broadway stop. although i have a friend who said there is a better place from sam gyup sal (she's knows korean food really well in flushing, let me ask her which place she likes better)
gu xiang: i think gu xiang is worth trying, their three cup chicken is by far the best version ive had in flushing and i think their food is good as long as you order the right things (their street food stuff is just okay, but their stir frys are excellent). i like it the best out of the taiwanese restaurants although i'm going back to main street imperial very soon (done a bunch of research on what to order based on some chinese blogs my friends dad gave me)
M&T: not to be a detractor, but i don't think i'd go to M&T based on my visit there, its a bit of a far walk and for my taste, i thought it was good, but i love it and i dont think it was worth the trek. i'd replace it with henan feng wei if you're looking for more off the beaten path regional chinese food.
imperial palace: you should definitely go, i think this is one of the best restaurants in flushing
baidu shabu shabu - i like the hot pot here (get the duck broth)

re: Lau
Three Cup Chicken at Main Street Imperial is excellent, best in Flushing. Hands-down, the place is head and shoulders above Guxiang. There has been a recent change in ownership at M&T and that may have been a factor. Did you even try the fresh fish or seafood at M&T?
Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet
59-14 Main St, Queens, NY 11355
re: scoopG
have you had the three cup chicken at gu xiang? gu xiang's version is actually quite good on an absolute level, last time u went i thought u ended up ordering alot of street food, ill try it at main street and compare
M&T: read my review which i linked above and u can see what i ordered, i tried to order based on what people on the boards and some of the editorials i read about the place and i asked the owner lady for dish recs as well. i believe the owners were the same when i went there, but then changed maybe a month after (i ate there in early dec)
re: Lau
Have not had the Three Cup at Guxiang in a long time. I've been going to Main Street Imperial and Taiwanese Specialties in Elmhurst for my Taiwanese fix. Main Street for one always delivers a free dish or two to the table. I think the soft Taiwan cabbage is their standard free dish - lightly stir-fried and delicious.
Your M&T blog review is much more positive than what you now say. Also - I think you need to look at your ratings. You give them 7-8 out of 10 points on every item on your blog and now say it is ho-hum? Not worth the walk from Roosevelt and Main? Really - based on one visit? Three of the seven dishes you ordered were based on "what the lady" said, not based on this board or other reviews. And...wait for it....excuse me...but.. you ordered wrong! All FRIED dishes! No fresh fish or fresh seafood? - Which is what Qingdao is known for!
re: scoopG
re: Gu Xiang, i think you should give it a try again based on what i ordered, i think you'd enjoy it. how do you like taiwanese specialities in elmhurst btw?
re: M&T
no read what i said: "Overall, while I thought it was good, I don't think the flavors really matched my palate and it was more of a novelty for me than a "must try" destination, but that said I think it's great that Flushing is getting more and more unique regional Chinese cuisines that were unavailable only a few years ago and I hope more places like M&T keep popping up."
also above i said" it was good but i didnt love it". my point is not that it is "ho hum" which i never said. My point was that if i was going to go to flushing and spend one day out there it wouldn't be on my list of places to go (which is what the OP is going to do). however, if you were going to be out there fairly regularly then at that point maybe i would go try it out as something different.
i ordered based on what i read from what everyone said was good (the ginseng, pork chop and the shrimp, however the lady also recommended the shrimp) and when i asked the owner what her favorite fish dish was she pointed us to the eel. however it is possible that i ordered incorrectly as i have only been there once
however, you don't seem to have ordered all that much "fresh seafood" either, most of ithe seafood you ordered was fried or smoked and you didn't ordered any fresh fish
re: Lau
i ordered based on what i read from what everyone said was good and when i asked the owner what her favorite fish dish was she pointed us to the eel...
That's not what your write on your blog. You write you asked for a rec, she said eel. No mention of this being her "favorite dish." Three of the seven dishes you ordered were based "on what the lady said." This what is written on your blog, no?
The OP is looking for a diverse, multi-stop walking food tour of Flushing that the OP self-created. I still think there might be room for a Qingdao experience on the walk to Main Street Imperial!
re: scoopG
eel: i asked her for a rec and said recommended that and followed by adding that was her favorite
re: the dishes. of the main dishes, the ginseng, the pork chop and the shrimp were all recommended via chowhound, serious eats etc. however, the lady also recommended the shrimp as well after i asked her about what fish to order, so that was a double recommendation
again i didnt think it was bad, i actually thought it was good, i just think if you've got one day then i'd replace it with henan fengwei which i think is a more interesting option in my opinion for less main stream regional chinese option
re: Lau
eel: i asked her for a rec and said recommended that and followed by adding that was her favorite...
Fine. But you do not mention that "the lady" said it was her favorite dish on your blog! Only now, four weeks after you ate there.
Mind you, there must have been 20-30 M&T Chowhound recs and comments on many dishes over the past 18 months. The menu did evolve and change. Many of the reviews would have been based on large parties perhaps, ordering a variety of dishes.
My rec to the OP was to drop one of the two Cantonese places. Henan Fengwei was never on the OP's original list...
re: scoopG
am i obligated to say every detail of the meal?
henan fengwei - i know the it wasn't on the OP's list, but that why its a recommendation
re: scoopG
Oh, dear. I'm a Gu Shine (Gu Xiang) loyalist.
Their san bei gai (three cup chicken) is spectacular, as is their salt-and-pepper chicken and chicken roll. Very typical Taiwanese (Taipei -style) food.
I'll Add Main St. Imperial to my list.
re: shaogo
This is not to say that 3-cup chicken is not good at Gu Xiang, quite the opposite, but what other Taiwanese restaurants in NYC have you tried?
re: diprey11
i think gu xiang's is by far the best version i've tried in NY although i haven't tried main st imperial...i find gu xiang to be one of my favorite if you stick to like home style stir fry type of stuff and stay away from street food, which i find to be just ok
re: diprey11
well ive been to main street imperial, i just haven't tried the san bei ji there
btw the cang ying tou at main street is legit like taiwan level legit
re: indiefoodie
No, not at all!
re: indiefoodie
the only problem will be the staff referring to you as "gweilo"
re: indiefoodie
no except that a large amount of the specials at main street imperial and part of their menu is only in chinese, i have a feeling they don't speak english that well either, but im not 100% sure b/c we didnt speak english with them and there were no non-chinese when we went
re: Lau
Their printed menu is fully 80% in English. The wall is filled with plenty of Chinese specials. Smile, be friendly and you will be taken care of. indiefoodie - just print out chubby chinese girl's blog and you'll be Fiddlehead fine!
re: scoopG
Wow Chef Lings original creation and the Hakkanese little stir fry look amazing. can i just say #26 and #27 and point to something? how magical
re: scoopG
ah that hakka stir fry was one of the dishes listed in the chinese blogs ive been looking at that reviewed main stree imperial, looks good
re: AubWah
it is far from the train station; i believe there is a bus although ive never taken it. when i go to that side of flushing i rent a car and just drive there, too much of a headache to take multiple forms of transport
alternatively if you take the chinatown bus (the $2.50 one on division street), they drive down main street from the LIRR and if you ask they will drop you off there although not sure how you would get back.
you could also take one of those chinese black cars from downtown flushing to there, its pretty cheap
re: AubWah
Main Street Imperial is a 20 minute walk from the subway station. There is a very convenient bus (both local and limited stops) you can pick up across the street from the Queens Library there on Main street. Q20 or Q44....
re: scoopG
thanks for that link! i've been wanting to try main street imperial for a while and now, armed with her post, I feel totally ready. As someone who couldn't even begin to read and write chinese, I love this kind of thing. I'm fine being intrepid by myself or with my own family, but we usually try these places with a big group of extended family and it helps to be informed.
got any more blogs like this?
re: missmasala
missmasala - here is the original thread that might also help:
Main Street Imperial – Taiwanese
re: missmasala
yah here's the two other ones ive been looking at:
I think you should definitely stop at Savor Fusion, a newish mini-food court on the corner of Maple and Main Streets and try something from Sister Zhu's Sichuan stall (#7), maybe get her Dan Dan Mian instead of at the Golden Mall, and the three treasure dumplings from the stall all the way in the back (#1), which are the best dumplings I've had in NYC.
I also think the Ma La Xiang Guo from Tian Fu (Stall #24) is better than Lao Ma's in the New World Mall. Since both places charge by the pound, you could get a small amount from each and do a side by side.
If you're worried about M&T changing hands and possibly not getting a good meal, you might instead want to check out one of my three favorite restaurants on the southern side of Flushing, two of which are also ScoopG discoveries.
1. Jiang Li, a Dongbei place on Kissena Blvd that ScoopG originally wrote up, which I've visited about six times. They have stellar pork belly, turnip and beef stew, very good dumplings, and many other things. Here's some of the stuff I've tried: http://www.flickr.com/photos/536/sets...
2. Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan, one of the best overall restaurants in Flushing. It's been written up in the NY Times. I've eaten there a bunch of times and tried a good portion of the menu, although I haven't kept my pictures up to date. Here are some of the dishes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/536/sets...
3. Yi Lan Halal Restaurant, another ScoopG Dongbei discovery, is a place I've gone about 20 times! I love it. Service is very friendly and tea is much better than average. Their lamb shumai is cooked to order every time, I think including the wrappers, and is ridiculously good. A lot of the food is basic but delicious, such as the beef with tomatoes, which is slices of soft beef and tomatoes with a brown sauce, but there are also completely unique dishes (for Flushing anyway) such as the stir fried cake, which is sliced shao bing stir fried w/ vegetables, beef and egg: http://www.flickr.com/photos/536/sets...
btw, my pal Eric writes up a lot of our meals on his blog, using my pics, if you want an easier way to reference them. Jiang Li is near the top, but you can find the other spots there as well, sometimes more than once: http://ericeatsout.blogspot.com/

re: Peter Cuce
Thanks Peter. Reminds me I have to get back there!
Jiang Li – Northern/Manchurian:
Yi Lan Halal Chinese:
For variety at the lamb noodle place upstairs at golden mall get the sides of potato peanut veggies and lamb meat plate. Sides are available at many down stairs stalls
It's winter so I would not want to walk too far. Yi Lan Halal Restaurant or either of the Hunan restos would be far enough for a digestive walk.
A recommendation for the future -- In late spring or summer hit lots of restaurants for take out and meet at a camp site in Corona Park
Thanks a lot everyone! Based on the suggestions, I've tweaked my original list a little bit. This is v1 so its missing some awesome places like 'Hunan Kitchen of Grand Sichuan'. Once I complete the ones listed here, I'll move onto those :) Here is the list in case someone finds it to be useful:

Thanks, indiefoodie, for the nice resource!
re: indiefoodie
thats a pretty good list
- Nan xiang: you should try some of their cold apps, they're very good
- Imperial palace: i wouldn't say the crab rice is hard to eat at all, the actual crab requires a little work (just like all crab does), but honestly its all about the rice b/c the juices from the crab runs into the rice and give it all its flavor
- shifu chio: get the wonton noodle soup with wontons on the side

re: Lau
The rice is not hard to eat and it smells wonderful but it bears mentioning because I know many non-Asian people who do not want to be bothered cracking shells and pulling out bits of meat. I was at a Tournesol once and the lady next to me had ordered duck and when she received it, she loudly complained, "It's on the bone?".
You may not think it's a big deal, but it's something to consider for other people who haven't had it before.
re: Pookipichu
that is a fair statement, but i just didn't want to get someone to get the idea that the actual rice itself is hard to eat and that to turn them off to the dish
I did something of this very sort yesterday, and while the food quality varied, I had SO much fun. It was just me, so my choices were somewhat limited, but here's what I tried and what I thought:
Corner 28: I started here because I found it right off the 7 train on Main Avenue. I thought the buns were terrific: the bread is insanely fluffy and fresh, and there's not much that's more comforting than eating a steaming, fresh peking duck bun on a cold day.
New World Mall: I'll give it a big thumbs sideways. It's basically a mall food court, only most of the stalls are Asian, so the quality is so-so. I did go to Tian Fu (stall # 24) and pick out ingredients for a dry stir-fry, and while it was fun and I highly recommend adding rice cakes, it was so salty I could barely get through the first few bites. They may have sprinkled MSG or salt on top, though, because some of the under-layer was less saline.
Kung Fu Tea was excellent - I had a taro milk green tea, and it was complex and delicious.
White Bear was closed for the day.
I'll be heading back for another "crawl" next Friday, so I'll report back with more. Thanks so much for all the research - I stand (and eat) on the shoulders of giants!
re: Travels4Food
while the new world mall food court is huge and looks kind of cool ive yet to find anything i think is real good there (anyone feel free to disagree and give me a good recommendation right now haha)
if you're going to food crawl and want to try alot of different stuff at one place then id go to the golden mall next, the food quality is much better
re: Travels4Food
Glad you enjoyed. One thing about mall food courts. In Asia, especially hot places like Southeast Asia, there's no negative connotation to mall food, some of which is just as good or better than food that isn't found in a mall. That's not to say that everything in New World Mall is good, but there are standouts, and personally, I love Tian Fu and would eat there anytime.
As promised, I returned for foodie crawl part 2 yesterday and made some new discoveries. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings, written simply as "steamed pork dumplings" on the menu at Nan Xiang on Prince Street were moaningly, exquisitely good. They're made to order, so the soup inside will definitely burn your lips and mouth when you open the first dumpling, but it's so-o-o-o-o worth it for the rich broth that pours into your spoon and mixes with the dark vinegar and strands of ginger. The purses of dough could not be more delicious or enjoyable in their texture: I ate the whole entire order, all by myself, and find I'm dreaming about them today. The food at other tables also looked very good, so next time I hope I can drag a few friends there with me and try more.
White Bear: just as all the posts directed, I ordered the #6 wontons in hot oil. They were made fresh to order and took a while, and while the quantity was significant, the flavor was nonexistent. No heat, no sesame, nothing but the saltiness of the pickled vegetable scattered on top. I LOVE wontons in red/hot oil, and I was so enormously disappointed by this long-awaited version.
Ten Ren Tea: the best bubble/tapioca pearl tea I've ever had. Ten Ren is serious about their tea, and every drink was carefully made with ladles of tapioca pearls and jiggers of milk or syrup to flavor the tea. They are one of the most reasonably-priced bubble tea parlors, I've found, and the space is clean and bright.
One last "tip:" SkyFoods supermarket, at the end of Roosevelt Avenue (@ College Point) might be the best supermarket I've ever been in, anywhere. It is the size of a football field with high, wide aisles, and if you're looking for anything Asian and comestible of any particular brand, you will likely find it here. All I needed was a translator/tourguide, and I would have stayed for hours.
Indiefoodie - did you go to Flushing? Please report back if you did!
re: Travels4Food
The wontons at White Bear aren't Sichuan style wontons in red oil. I think they're Taiwanese style or something. So I don't think they're supposed to be super spicy. There's also no Sichuan peppercorn.
re: kathryn
That's right. They're not really Sichuan wontons. But still, I have to agree with Travels4Food. They lack flavor.
re: kathryn
according to their sign (which i think is only in chinese) they are shandong style dumplings and the owners are definitely not taiwanese just based on their accents
you know i think its one of these love / hate type of things. I love those dumplings as do most of my friends, however i have heard people that think they are too plain especially if you were expecting sichuan style wontons in red oil i could see how you could say that b/c they are definitely not the flavor bomb of those dumplings. To me though they are probably the best made or pretty close to the best made wontons in NY
re: kathryn
The wontons at White Bear are not genuinely Sichuan, although very good quality. IIRC, the sign on the door actually advertizes Shanghai-style wonton, which simply means a larger size wonton with bai cai added to the filling (linguistically this is the same idea as Swiss cheese.)
If you are craving spicy Sichuan wontons done right, consider ordering them at the Sichuan stall (成都天府) in the Golden Mall. I personally think their rendition is superior in every respect: even more tender, juicy, thin-skinned, etc, etc.
re: Travels4Food
I thought NanXiang had closed due to a labor dispute. (Remember the old good Guangzhou Family Restaurant? puff!) I would LOVE to be wrong though.
re: diprey11
i don't know why it was closed.....but I tried to go there on the evening of the 16th after dropping off my son at JFK.....it looked like there was some cleaning and renovation work being done inside The tables, chairs and counter were removed.....and there was a sign on the door saying they would be open on the 18th.
So I ended up at...A Taste of Shanghai.
Fried Dumplings...good
Pork Shank...........fair to good
Sauteed Eel...........EXCELLENT
re: fourunder
taste of shanghai is pretty good, but not for their dumplings / XLB...their regular shanghainese food is probably one of the best in NY right now if you order right
i reviewed it a while ago, but ive been thinking about re-reviewing it with pics etc this time
re: fourunder
the ti pang (pork shoulder) is pretty good there, ill have to try the eels as i like that dish generally although some places make it too sweet.
re: Travels4Food
What can I say? People love Ten Ren tea: bubble tea, fruit tea, and so on. Teenagers prefer Quickly though.
The real hard core tea store offering hand-rolled, hand-roasted teas can be annoyingly more expensive. I am so happy to report there is such a (snobbish) store right across the street: 芳茗軒 (Fang Gourmet Tea) I have been their loyal customer for over five years and I have nothing but praise for them.
re: Polecat
when was the last time you went there? according to yelp its closed
this is annoying if it was b/c it looked like a real modern taiwanese bakery which ive yet to see in NY (they are so awesome in taiwan)
re: Lau
Just yesterday, actually. very much alive and well with a good amount of foot traffic.
they're bread-based stuff is fun and innovative in the best ways; there's always new stuff out on the shelves. the bakers seem to be having a blast, and, at its' best, it shows. strawberry buns on pink, chewy bread, cream inside. the japanese roll is one of many nods to Japan, which is a big part of the point, the delicacy and light sweetness of Japan's nods to France, and so on. What comes out is Iris' own, unique twist on a twist.
Very much worth it. Like I say, go for the trunk bread. The trunk bread, man. Stay for other stuff. And enjoy.
I'm not aware that they moved either, by the way.
re: Polecat
trunk bread looked good
i def look forward to trying it, i really miss modern bakeries in taipei, they are so awesome. they're generally kind of upscale and everything is really fresh and awesome
man i need to go back...ok i just decided that im going to taiwan this year
re: Polecat
actually never mind, yelp said they moved
re: Polecat
I'm willing to try Iris again, but I wasn't all that taken with anything when a friend and I tried it out. I got an almond jelly that was just way too firm, the trunk bread, which I thought was pretty good though not something I'd crave (my friend thought it was too sweet, but she's even more sugar-adverse than I am), and something else that involved sponge cake wrapped in a crepe.
re: saria
We happened upon Iris today and were pleasantly surprise, although not having read about it our expectations were low. The trunk bread instantly caught my eye, and I quite liked it. I must say it didn't travel well. When I had the leftover bit eight hours later, it had dried up considerably and was hard to chew. Another bread we got from there, I think it was labeled "raisin", had a crunchy topping and a sweet cream filling. It started familiar, like "oh no, here we go again, that bad Wonder Bread taste typical of Chinatown Bakery chains", but actually got better the more I ate it. (I had a similar experience with the Apple Bread at Tous Les Jours, but this was better.) The sandwich type bread at Iris (I think it was labeled brioche) was just passable.
You must try the lamb noodle soup in the upstairs section of golden mall. And also the ban mian which is the peanut butter noodles. & also the pork filled fish balls and yan wan which is like soup dumplings but look like shumai

Top 10 summer adventure activities in Cape Town
Rob PetersAdventure tourism is a booming business and Cape Town is quickly becoming the go-to place for travellers looking for their adrenaline fix. From shark cage diving to abseiling down Table Mountain, the Mother City is the adventure capital of the world and she is waiting for you to cut loose. Here are our top 10.
6 Spectacular Fynbos Hikes for Seasoned and Unseasoned AlikeNature nerds unite! If you're looking for one of the most enchanting earth adventures ever look no further. Fynbos is one of six floral kingdoms in the world and its the only one that occurs entirely in one country. Ours!
30 Seconds in the Mother City
Rob PetersCape Town played host to yet another sold-out show this past weekend with 30 Seconds to Mars packing the Grand West Casino on Sunday night. Frontman Jared Leto may not have been quite as active as fellow singer John Legend, but he still managed to snap a couple of pics – and post a video - to Instagram, chronicling his time in the Mother City. To be fair, the group didn't spent quite as long in town as the R&B crooner, but it's still pretty clear that the city worked its magic on Leto.
Free Wi-Fi planned for MyCiti busesCommuters on the MyCITI rapid bus service will have more reason to jump on board with the City of Cape Town planning to offer free Wi-Fi. According to a report on BDLive, the city is conducting a pilot project which will allow access to the Wi-Fi while travelling or waiting at various stations in and around Cape Town. The news comes on the back of the city's announcement on Thursday that it has entered into a partnership with Orange Wi-Fi service to provide Wi-Fi to people living in parts of Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain.

Cape Town has been working towards being a responsible and sustainable city and destination for many years and we have again seen an increase in responsible tourism awareness, products and practices at Indaba 2013.
Cape Town welcomes #MeetSouthAfrica travel bloggers
Bloggers love South Africa – we know this from our #LoveCapeTown campaign. This campaign saw us bringing four international travel bloggers (@traveldudes @velvetescape @landlopers and @wildjunket) to Cape Town in July 2012 during a social media drive in which Capetonians interacted with the bloggers and their followers, telling the stories of Cape Town and her people.

a fast-acting lifting serum that targets slackening skin
Our belief in this fountain-of-youth lifting serum is 'firm'-ly 'plant'-ed in its cocktail of powerful botanical extracts (notable newcomer dill, along with tiger nut, padina pavonica, organic rye and oat seed extracts, and peptidic soy, plus essential oils of lavender and marjoram). Designed to work within the skin's delicate construct, this breakthrough blend increases the dermis' elastic 'bounceback' quality by triggering the LOXL Enzyme function, the mechanism that keeps skin looking supple and envy-inducing for anyone over 35. Plus (as if that weren't enough of an epidermal enhancement), it improves skin's resistance to effects of gravity, so you can say no to 'slack'. 1 oz
• Restructures elastin fibers
• Strengthens the skin's elasticity
• Instantly lifts the skin
after 8 weeks of use*:
• 83% reported firmer skin
• 70% reported that skin regained elasticity, rebound, spring and density
• 70% reported a more radiant complexion
*Percentages of satisfaction based on a self-assessment questionnaire of 23 women after 8 weeks of use.

BMC Flat Panel Replacement Filter Mercedes ML350 & ML500 W164 05-13
Model: 262/01
Sale: $94.50
Product Info
Go To Product
The panel or cylindrical air filter is commonly referred to as "replacement air filter". It is installed in the vehicle's original airbox to replace the OEM air filter. It is made of highly performing materials that allow an increased air flow combined with a more efficient filtration, guaranteeing containment of all impurities from as small as 7 microns, as compared to OEM's 10 microns. BMC air filters are produced using a "Full Moulding" system that enables the characteristic red filter to be realized from a single mould with no welded joints thus avoiding easy breakage. The rubber used in BMC air filtering systems has a long life, is very durable and has optimum adhesion characteristics to all shapes of airboxes. BMC filters are made of a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked with low viscosity oil covered with an epoxy coated alloy mesh to ensure protection from petrol fumes and oxidization due to air humidity. All BMC air filters are pre-oiled, and they can be washed and regenerated by using the appropriate BMC regeneration kit.

When you need a large, budget-friendly workstation, think AnthroCart. These spacious carts (48", 60" and 72") have plenty of room for your computer plus extra space to spread out. Add Extension Tubes and shelves to build up, or place more shelves underneath for storage. Pick from our huge selection of accessories to configure the cart to fit your space and devices. Strong enough to hold 150 lbs.
Large AnthroCarts (48", 60" and 72" wide) provide plenty of room for your computer plus extra space to spread out. Each cart comes standard with one shelf, four legs, a base tube and four 2 3/8"casters (front two locking). Rough terrain? Upgrade to 4" casters! Smaller AnthroCarts available down to 24" wide.
One of the best aspects of modular furniture is that you can make it your own. Start with a basic AnthroCart and create a workstation that fits your work style. Access USB ports easily when your CPU is eye level. Attach a filing cabinet to access files in seconds. A Keyboard Caddy keeps your worksurface clear.
Shelves are made with 1" thick industrial grade high density particle board so they're incredibly strong. The combination of sturdy shelves, 16 gauge steel tube legs and patented shelf support mechanism means AnthroCarts can hold up to 150 pounds of your equipment!
Choose from our widest array of accessories to configure the cart to fit your equipment and room space. Shelves adjust at 1" increments along the vertical tubes so you can place your work surface or additional storage at whatever height best fits your needs. Best of all, the cart adapts as technology changes.
Vinyl T-molding along the edge of the shelf surfaces prevents dings on edges. The baked-on powder coat finish on the legs is the toughest finish available! All these details add up to make an AnthroCart able to handle multiple users with ease like at this university computer lab.
The basic design of the AnthroCart means you won't have to spend a lot of time putting your AnthroCart together. Detailed assembly instructions are included with every product – even all of the necessary tools!

[QUOTE=copernicus;4501026]Its not the cheating that is unheard of, its the fact that it is NATIONAL NEWS. This is a kid we are talking about. He didnt murder anyone, its a test! The the politics of standardized tests CONSUMES our present school system. And from most of your responses that this is ok. It is fine that that the media plasters a 16 year old boy's face and possibly ruining his future over a test in school?!
But we all know the real reason for it, its to try and break the country's strong unions.[/QUOTE]
Yes the strong unions being payed for with our tax dollars Most of the money given to schools goes for wages, health benefits and retirement.

Paris 2010: Range Rover Evoque shows up ready for production
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Sep 30th, 2010 at 8:30AM
Land Rover's critical new Range Rover Evoque debuted today at the Paris Motor Show, ushering in a brave new world for the British off-roader brand. The debut continues the company's march toward the softroader segment, a movement first started with the LR2/Freelander and now resulting in the handsome new three-door seen here. Slated to be joined shortly by a five-door version, the compact Evoque fits right into the Land Rover mold design-wise, albeit with a surprising amount of surface jewelry for such a sleek two-box shape. From the protruding fog lamps to the horizontal matte... Read More

About Us
The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program is part of the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Census Bureau. The LEHD program produces new, cost effective, public-use information combining federal, state and Census Bureau data on employers and employees under the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) Partnership. State and local authorities increasingly need detailed local information about their economies to make informed decisions. The LED Partnership works to fill critical data gaps and provide indicators needed by state and local authorities.
Under the LED Partnership, states agree to share Unemployment Insurance earnings data and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data with the Census Bureau. The LEHD program combines these administrative data, additional administrative data and data from censuses and surveys. From these data, the program creates statistics on employment, earnings, and job flows at detailed levels of geography and industry and for different demographic groups. In addition, the LEHD program uses these data to create partially synthetic data on workers' residential patterns.
All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have joined the LED Partnership, although the LEHD program is not yet producing public-use statistics for Massachusetts, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The LEHD program staff includes geographers, programmers, and economists.
Our mission is to provide new dynamic information on workers, employers, and jobs with state-of-the-art confidentiality protections and no additional data collection burden.
QWI and OnTheMap Use in Local Analysis and Decision Making
- OnTheMap was highlighted in an Indiana University InContext article titled How Long Is That Commute? OnTheMap Sheds Light on Distance from Home to Work by Rachel Strange.

If you want to know how to become a movie director, you must be highly interested in movies and have an artistic flair as a prerequisite. You can begin practicing by using your home video and edit using some editing software; this is helpful in making baby steps toward the career. Apparently, each movie produced has a director behind it. This is the person overseeing the creative and technical aspects of the movie production, like casting, design, and lighting. Any person with a passion for movies can direct, but you will do better if you are artistic. To make it in this highly competitive industry, you must prove that you have the required expertise to produce movies that will sell.
Education requirements
There are no standard educational requirements for movie directors, but most directors have some formal education in the industry. Essentially, you can get qualifications in fine arts television and radio broadcasting, film, communications, drama and theater. You learn about casting, rehearsal procedures, text analysis, as well as the use of common tools like cameras and storyboards.
It is imperative that you have relevant experience for a couple of reasons. One is that prior experience as an editor or actor gives you a better understanding of scene development as well as the demands a producer places on the workers they oversee. This affects your relationships with the workers and ensures you remain realistic in expectations. On the other hand, producers are particularly concerned on the director's final film, in that; will it produce a profit and revenue? You must proof your familiarity with the industry, as a producer will most likely take a higher risk than a director will. It takes a long time to reach a directing level, and many directors begin with small jobs such as small commercials before venturing into other intricate movies.
Imagination talent and personal skills
A good director will always direct their films differently creating unique movies, which requires them to push their fundamental skills into the film industry. The industry is extremely competitive and one cannot make it without a high flair for creativity. You must keep track of many things as the director, including people dates while working on a movie. Even when you are creative, you must have some managerial skills including the ability to produce the best films. You must ensure that you retain top talent since losing them will cost the production team money. Pulau Tioman You have to aim at doing great at box office in order to make profits. On the other hand, as much as you are the boss, you also require social skills that will encourage your team to work harder and better. These are the basic requirements on how to become a movie director.
What It Takes To Be a Movie Director
A movie director is the individual responsible for directing actors and film crew in the movie making process. They control the movies dramatic and artistic effects while guiding the actors and crew. Perhentian The director has to understand all that it takes to shot and produce a movie, including scrip editing, casting, shot selection, and composition. They are also responsible for the marketing aspects and understand the films constraints in time and budget.
Responsibilities of a movie director
Directors have the responsibility to write a movie script or pay commission to another person to write. They can also visualize the finished film and identify a realistic way of achieving the end goal. At the preproduction stage, they make crucial decisions, for example, in crew selection and locations where to shot the film. They are also responsible for directing performances and prior rehearsals once production begins. Another responsibility is to manage the technical features of a movie, which include sound camera design, and other special effects required. After production, they work directly with editors through the editing process which at this point is rather technical, in order to reach the final version and cut of the movie. In all stages of the movie development, they are responsible for keeping the team motivated at the best levels possible. They must also appreciate the expectations and needs of the movie financiers.
Skills required
Directors ought to be outstandingly artistic and creative in their skills in order to create appealing and original movies. This requires a high commitment level as well as a deep passion for making films, including the ability to act strongly confidence in leadership. They need to make decisions constantly as well as delegating duties to other people. It is imperative that they communicate impeccably and have strong interpersonal skills. It is the responsibility of the director to motivate and inspire the team to produce the visualized film. They require broad understanding of the entire film making procedure from both the creative and technical points of view. This calls for long working hours, attention to detail, and the capacity to stay calm while thinking clearly even when under pressure, these are non ignorable skills. Apart from this, they also require self-confidence and determination to succeed in all that they do.
Experience and qualifications
There are numerous courses and books on how to direct a movie, and one does not require formal qualifications to become one. Yet, having a good knowledge of the film industry is crucial but most importantly, having hands on experience in the industry. Most directors work their way over a number of years having begun at the entry-level position. One can begin in the production office or even acting, and work their way upwards while they learn important lessons along the way.
How to Make Your Own Movie
A few years ago, making a movie was a very expensive affair. web design malaysia Conversely, growth in technology and the advancement of basic tools has made it much cheaper.

Today, you only require a high quality camera, which you can get at an affordable price, desktop publishing facilities including software, and your movie making dreams could come to reality sooner than you think.
The script
Before making a film, you have to prepare a script first. Test Socket This applies to all movies including the shortest films and animations.

There are many books available on scrip writing which give in-depth analysis of each step in the story.

Botox & Fillers
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport
Beauty is in the Eyes™
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport are injectable products that Dr. Alexandra Chebil uses to temporarily reduce or eliminate facial lines that occur as we age.
As we get older, there is a natural loss of volume in the collagen and fat layers of the skin. As a result, the underlying muscle pulls more strongly on the skin resulting in deep lines and furrows that give a tired or worried appearance. Even in younger patients, facial muscles are repeatedly used for expression of emotions such as concentration, worry, and surprise. Other facial movements like smiling, whistling, or drinking from a straw will also cause creases to deepen and eventually become permanent. Some facial lines may give the wrong impression of emotion for example the lines between the eyebrows that show concentration may give a person an angry appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport don't simply fill in the creases; they actually prevent the creases from occurring by blocking the contraction of the underlying muscle.
These prescription grade products are ideal for both men and women above the age of eighteen who want to prevent the wrinkles from occurring as well as older patients who want to regain a more natural, youthful appearance.
Facial Areas that could benefit from BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport
These products can temporarily reduce or eliminate the frown lines between your eyebrows, the crow's feet at the corners of your eyes, and the horizontal worry lines in your forehead. Research suggests that they may also reduce neck wrinkles (necklace lines) and smokers' lines around the mouth.
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport have also been approved by the FDA for migraines and the reduction of severe underarm perspiration with results lasting up to one year.
Most adults with perfectly smooth skin have probably used BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport to maintain their youthful appearance.
Treatment takes just a few minutes, with results starting to be noticeable between five and fourteen days. The duration of the effect varies between individuals, usually between three to four months. With repeat injections, results may last even longer depending on the strength of the muscle injected.
You may not be a good candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport if you:
- Have severe allergies to bovine products
- Have neurological diseases
- Have skin infections in the areas that need treatment
- If you have sagging, drooping or very sun-damaged skin
- Blood thinners and fish oil supplements may increase your chance of bruising.
Botox FAQ's
What is Botox?
Botox® is a dilute variation of botulism which Dr. Alexandra Chebil injects in facial muscles that cause wrinkles. This simple, nonsurgical, treatment can temporarily reduce or eliminate frown lines between the eyebrows of men and women between the ages of 18 and 65.
- Is Botox approved by the FDA?
Yes, Botox has been approved by the FDA since 1989.
- Does Botox hurt?
You will feel a slight pinch during the injection that disappears very quickly. If you like, we offer a topical anesthetic and ice pack to reduce the discomfort.
- Does Botox work?
Yes, it prevents the muscles from pulling on your skin so the facial wrinkles are reduced or eliminated.
- Can I drive after Botox?
Yes, you can drive right away after your injection. No recovery time is required.
- Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Yes, Botox will not make you look un-natural or frozen. The lines between your eyebrows will appear softer and less deep. You will still be able to frown and look surprised after the treatment.
- What are possible side effects?
You may experience mild pain, redness and bruising at the site of the injection. Very rare complications include temporary eyelid droop and nausea.
- When should Botox not be used?
BOTOX® Cosmetic should not be used if there is an infection in the area to be injected, if a patient is allergic to the product and if a patient has neurological diseases like ALS or myasthenia.
Botox and Dysport Before and After Pictures
What are Dermal Fillers, Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse?
Juvéderm® and Restylane are smooth, transparent gels that are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally exists within the layers of your skin. As we age, our skin loses its natural volume and hydration, and wrinkes and lines appear. Dr. Alexandra Chebil will gently ease the Juvéderm® or Restylane injectable gelsand Restylane under your skin to quickly reduce or eliminate the smile lines which are the nasal-labial lines that run from the corners of your mouth up to the bottom of your nose. This product will safely and rapidly smooth away wrinkles and restore your skin's volume.
Juvederm and Restylane are some of the only hyaluronic acid fillers that is FRDSA approved for up to one year lasting effect. Juvéderm® injectable gel is the first hyaluronic acid filler that can be used safely and effectively for people of all skin types and colors.
Juvéderm® and Restylane provide such a smooth and natural look and feel that no one will notice anything but a more youthful you. It has been proven that these products give better results than collagen-based fillers.
Most men and women are excellent candidates for Juvéderm® or Restylaneinjectable gels. Since they are not animal-based, allergies are very rare and may be a better choice for people who have tried collagen injections but were not pleased with their results. Juvéderm® and Restylane fillers may be great choices for patients who want to achieve a natural effect for facial rejuvenation of lines and wrinkles or who desire fuller lips.
Radiesse™ is another injectable product that is calcium based. It is also similar to Collagen, but is safer and lasts longer. Although past uses included just facial lines and wrinkles, more recent uses include facial contouring, to enhance the cheek, chin, nose and jaw line.
Dermal fillers may be good options for you if you are dissatisfied with the way your face is aging — namely, if you dislike the wrinkles and creases that have surfaced. Juvéderm® and Restylane may also be right for you if you feel that your lips need augmentation.
Juvéderm® and Restylane are appropriate for most areas of the face, including the lines around your mouth, your nose, and your forehead. Dr. Alexandra Chebil may also perform facial contouring to improve the appearance of scars, such as acne scars. Juvéderm and Restylane can also be used to enhance the appearance of your lips.
Injectable products may not be good for you if you have excess scarring, have severe allergies or are pregnant or nursing.
Dr. Alexandra Chebil offers complimentary facial consultations and will advise you as to the injectable product that is best suited to your needs. If you are taking medication such as aspirin or fish oil, there may be an increased chance of bruising after your injection.

Post subject: Things to think about...
I was on distrowatch, and looked at Trisquel reviews. I found that blog article :
There are some things to think about, particulary this part :
Musix, BLAG, and DYNE:BOLIC, share a few common features which all conspire to turn off potential new users: incomplete/amateurish websites, too much talk about "overthrows" of proprietary software or free software "revolutions" (to the detriment of promoting the features of the OS itself)
Well... that's also what I found when I arrived into blag. Even omouse found a bug tracker, that I think none of you even remembered! Maybe the website would need a little clean up. I don't talk about removing the talks about "overthrows" of proprietary software. They are a complete part of blag philosophy. But at least regrouping things in a clear way!
Also look at the website : lots of things have not been updated, links still point to 90k.
And I was thinking : blag is coming back, 2-3 years after its last release. Why not coming back in beauty, on all aspects : the release of course, but also website, communication etc. What would you think about it?

As long as we keep the revolutionary romantics, i'm all for looking at the structure of things: interfaces, presentations, links, wiki menus, etc. I think we should stick to the different channels we are using (site/forum/wiki/riseup/irc), but maybe tie them better together. Not all blaggers are fond of riseup, but i find it useful (if a little slow to navigate), and would like to continue supporting it. There has been some nice design ideas around, and in terms of style, i think we should stick quite close to what we have, incorporating the BLAG colours and icons.

Ok, since we now seem to be in the situation where new people are arriving and have problems figuring out what infrastructure we have at our hands I'll try to give a short overview. Hopefully it will be possible to expand this in a useful wiki-page and of course make the infrastructure useful and interconnected in a way that there is imminent sense.
The current situation arose after the departure of jebba. We tried to find ways to communicate and work effective and resilient, therefor populated many different platforms to find out what works best and make it impossible for everything to go down at once.
old infrastructure:
IRC on indymedia
this forum on Jason's server
the blagblagblag.org, afair on the same server but now accessible and editable by Junichiro
the bugzilla
the wiki was moved from one of jebba's servers to aktivix.org
several no longer active MLs hosted by jebba:
blag-users (for user discussion, was crosslinked to the discussion forum)
blag-development (for development discussion, was crosslinked to the dev forum)
blag-static (heavy traffic list that was fed with notes and from several scripts)
new infrastructure:
crabgrass / riseup was set up to have a basis that included tools for discussion and development and was hosted externally and hence unlikely to go down
blag-whereto ML at aktivix was immediately created to disuss what to do after all infrastructure had been down
new blag-static ML at aktivix
blag.fsf.org as development box at FSF
'' provides TRAC via http, which is intended to replace bugzilla and be linked to the development via GIT (has not been set up yet)
there had been plans to link everything via Drupal-instances but so far only zenblagger.org exists, afaik.
That's everything that comes to my mind right now, would be nice to elaborate on this later. i hope it is so far of any help to anyone.
I'd also like to link to an older discussion on crabgrass about how to utilize the different platforms:
concerning a possible website redesign please also note the
that has taken place so far regarding this topic.
Thanks for reading,

Yes, renilgh, I know all of this, was just thinking to update the site and make it more obvious :)
I would see those links on the webpage :
- Downloads
- Forum
- Developpers -> links directly to riseup, and all that stuff
- Presentation (update the existing one)
- Documentation/Wiki
- Bugs

Ahh, that old song again. These people think this is a popularity contest and miss the point of OS like Musix, BLAG and DYNE:BOLIC, these distros are for people whose ideology are the same as the distro's. If new users download and install them without any research or information on what the main philosophy of the distro is, are we the ones who are at fault?
I think not! we don't mind anyone using the OS but we do mind them telling us to change our direction to please these people.....Ohhh, I just remembered they can use Ubuntu or MS Windoze. If they come to a distro such as BLAG it's because they like the distro they don't have to agree with whatever is written on the website or forum, they can always freely state their opinions and so can we.
If it hurts it's because you're alive.

I was more thinking about the website part.
I completely agree with you weyasey. In my mind, Blag's philosophy and ideas in terms of free software and politics have the same importance as the distribution itself.
But, even if we don't mind anyone using the OS, that's not a reason to kick out users that could be potentially interested into our distro.
If I look at the website, what do I see :
- the welcoming page is really ok, clear and precise.
- forum : ok, no problem
- documentation : points to the wiki, no problem
- mailing list : ok, just need to refresh a bit the page
- Downloads : still points to 90k
- features : links to the wiki doesn't work, still 90k and older package presentation...
- mail order CD : talking about this, I think we should give our own cds with a small packaging. Will talk about it later.
- developpers : this is quite a mess :s we should try to organize it a bit more
- blagsterix : nothing really to say
- linux-libre : I would regroup on a page with texts about our point of view of free software and all that stuff.
So, maybe I'm completely wrong, but it's been about one year I've been there and I'm still discovering some new things on the website. What would a new user do? He might feel completely lost :s -

linux-libre is just about the kernel. Not about all free software philosophy.
All the links point to 90k because it's the last stable release. After 140k release we'll have to rebuild all that. But remember the site has to move on fsf server.
PS: can't connect to IRC when at work, now!

The trouble with the revolutionary language is that most people won't see it as a metaphor and they'll think it sounds too harsh. It's the same with the word "struggle" or "oppression" or even "freedom", they all sound a little rough. For example, some people talk about an
of labour, but in fact there's no such thing.
Maybe it's time for a new metaphor that makes the opposition to capitalism/corporatism less violent and confrontational and more persuasive sounding; basically instead of hitting someone on the head with a club, shake their hand with a velvet glove :-P
It doesn't bug
though, so either way I'm happy with BLAG.

It doesn't bother me either, and I wouldn't change the language used. For me, Blag is not only a GNU/linux distro. It has a little something more (cf blag-bookmarks).
According to me, Blag satisfies other needs that are over free software, and comes with a full philosophical communauty. (cf
My point was only about making the site and the infrastructure clearer. We're supposed to be some free software evangelists, but for now, our structure is quite obfuscated :)

as concerns the talk of overthrow and revolution:
I disagree with some of the philosophy, and yet I am here. I use every version of Blag that comes out. I talk about blag to almost every *nixer I meet. Are people implying that it may turn some people off? Yes. Will it turn off those who have an open mind? No. Does Blag wish to attract the close-minded? I doubt it.
As for site obfuscation, I honestly believe that the site would require very little reworking. PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE ARTWORK AROUND THE SITE. I loves it. Perhaps just updating all of the links and information would work.
After Monday and Tuesday even the calendar says WTF.

And I'm the only one to have access now. So they talk, they talk and so on.
I'll update and maintain it with 140k release; but I need someone to read it and correct it if there is misspelling as I'm French speaking. Do you want to help me?
