Did you know?
EUR-USD topped out at 1.2532, after running through stops just over the figure after the last round of data. U.S. account short covering has been noted again this morning, as positions are cut into the Thanksgiving holiday. Big picture, given the growing calls for ECB QE, the euro's modest rally will likely just provide better levels to sell into, and we in no way see this morning's move higher as a shift in trend.

XE Market Analysis
North American Edition2014-11-26 10:54 UTC
The dollar has been mixed in relatively narrow ranges, firmer against the euro, lower versus sterling and the yen. The biggest mover out of the main currencies has been the Aussie, which dove to new major-trend lows. EUR-USD drifted below 1.2450 as losses seen from the high 1.24s extended. ECB Constancio said that the central bank may "have to consider buying other assets, including sovereign bonds in the secondary market," which follows the OECD's call ... Read More ►

Narrow ranges have prevailed among the dollar majors. USD-JPY managed to eke out a two-day low at 117.59 after peaking at 117.93 in Tokyo, finding a footing amid reports of Japanese investor demand. EUR-USD posted a 1.2465-84 range, consolidating the gain seen after Monday's low at 1.2362. The OECD yesterday called on the ECB to consider QE to fight deflation risks, which will support the doves at the central bank and should help maintain the overall ... Read More ►

The dollar was broadly lower in N.Y. trade on Wednesday, as softer data, and ongoing pre-Thanksgiving position squaring kept the unit on the back foot. Firmer jobless claims, softer income and consumption data, and pullbacks in Chicago ISM, Michigan sentiment, and new home sales all contributed. Despite the data, Wall Street maintained its poise, trading mixed overall. Yields remained soft through the session. Activity largely screeched to a halt after ... Read More ►

Focuing on the needs of young people in extreme situations
Life in crisis zones can be deeply troubling to anyone. Some of the factors that may leave young people especially vulnerable in such situations include:
- the absence of role models
- the breakdown of social and cultural systems
- personal traumas such as the loss of family members
- exposure to violence and chaos
- the disruption of school and friendships
Such factors may lead to early sexual initiation and other high-risk behaviour, including drug and alcohol abuse. Displaced young people are particularly vulnerable to HIV, and they urgently need information and services to protect themselves from disease and unintended pregnancies.
When disasters strike, UNFPA works to protect the sexual and reproductive health of those affected, with an emphasis on the special needs of women and young people. It also supports various data collection activities necessary for efficient relief efforts.
UNFPA pays particular attention to the needs of young people as the acute crisis moves into the reconstruction phase. Protection programmes and the provision of vocational training and other life skills education can be instrumental in helping them put their lives back together and contribute to the rebuilding of their communtiies.

FREDERICK, Md. - The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says the death of a mentally disabled man in police custody has been ruled a homicide.
Cpl. Jennifer Bailey said Friday that the state medical examiner determined that 26-year-old Robert Saylor of New Market died of asphyxia Jan. 12.
Saylor had Down syndrome.
Bailey says he died after resisting arrest by three deputies at a Frederick movie theater. An employee had called police because Saylor wouldn't leave his seat after a movie.
Bailey says Saylor cursed at the deputies. She says he became medically distressed while they were escorting him in handcuffs from the theater.
Bailey says the evidence will be given to the state's attorney's office for review after the investigation is complete.
Meanwhile, all three deputies remain on regular duty.

The only problem is using recipes printed on full size paper. They will fall over backwards and I have to prop something behind them to hold them up.I recommend this product.
My search is over!
I love this product! I have been trying to find something to hold my recipe pages for a long time. I print off recipes and put them in plastic sheets then put in a binder. I would have to tape my recipe sheets to my cabinets while cooking. Now I don't have to. This little gadget is perfect.I recommend this product.
Recipe Rock.....cleaver gadget
I bought two Recipe Rocks while they were on sale. This little product is so amazing. Strong enough to hold most of my recipes. Doesn't take up much needed space on my counter top. I'm also going to use the Rock on my craft table. It will be perfect for holding instruction sheets or a photo of painting projects. My biggest concern is the metal ball that could fall on the floor and be picked up by my little dog or a small child. I wish they had attached a cord of some kind to the ball and the base to make the Recipe Rock a safer item for most consumers. For this reason I'm giving it four stars.I recommend this product.

Recipe Rock
What a clever invention. It's basic & serves it's purpose. My daughters are delighted. No more chasing the recipe paper around the counter & paper stays clean, no need to handle. Takes up no room to store. Love that you added colors to these.I recommend this product.

Best thing since sliced bread!
Every cook should own one. Makes a great stocking stuffer. It really does hold 8 1/2 x 11 recipes upright and saves valuable counter space. When not in use it tucks away nicely in a drawer. One of the best gadgets ever invented. I love it!I recommend this product.

Small but Serves a Huge Need
I am delighted with my Recipe Rock. I ordered 5 of these; one for myself, my daughter, my son, my sister and a friend. The Recipe Rock does not take up needed space when not in use; it holds several pieces of paper or cards or a combination of both. I couldn't be more delighted with it.I recommend this product.

Recipe Rock Holds Up
What a clever idea! I usually scotch tape my recipe to the cabinet above my work area, but this is so much nicer. It takes up very little counter space and securely holds the recipe in an upright position. I am giving one to each of the cooks in my family.I recommend this product.

Such a clever idea. You print a recipe from your computer, it is on a floppy piece of paper, it sits up straight and tall when captured by the recipe rock. The cute rock looks swell sitting on your kitchen counter when not working.I recommend this product.

Space Saving Recipe Holder
I print out a lot of recipes off the web, which I keep (very) loosely filed on top of the fridge. The recipe rock holds these sheets nicely. I find that they don't flop over and since it is small I can place it anywhere. Right now it does it duty on the window sill, on top of my Andy Warhol tomato soup can. No mess, no fuss and it stays dry and clean. Highly recommended.I recommend this product.

I used this recipe rock when I did my Thanksgiving cooking. It made it so much easier for me . I didn't have to keep running from one place to another to look at my recipes. What a great invention this is! I'm so glad I found it. Also I gave the 2nd one to my daughter-in-law and she loved it also.I recommend this product.

Post subject: Question about Ship Designs & Ship Names
Hello. I'm brand new to Federation Commander and I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong section.
So, I'm big fan of Star Trek and I just picked up the Klingon Border and Squadron Box #1. I can't wait to get my minis painted and start playing the game. In the meantime, I had a few questions rolling around in my head.
Question 1: I've been doing research and looking up reference (y'know for my mini painting). As I was doing this, I was wondering, where do the designs for ships that weren't ever seen in the original tv series come from?
I don't remember ever seeing the Gorn ship, and yet we have Gorn minis. What I'm wondering is, were they based off lost production sketches from the original artists that worked on the show? Maybe based off illustrations from old books? Or are they just made up by the artists that work for Federation Commander? If so, what was the approach?
Was always curious about this process. I mean, I can see how to design new Tholian ships based off what was seen on the tv show. But when there was nothing to pull from, how is a "look" decided ?
Question 2:
Although I am a Trek fan, I admit I'm not as knowledgeable about the ships outside those seen on the show or movies. My brother, who was in the Navy once told me how Los Angeles class submarines are mostly named after cities (Atlanta, Norfolk, etc) and Carriers are usually named after people (Forrestal, George Washington, Nimitz). When I say "usually" I noticed that it isn't a hard rule. Sometimes they're named after places or well known battles.
I was wondering, for Trek, are there some rules that follow "canon" about how to name ships? I don't want to make up a name and have it sound wrong when I could've researched a bit. The rule book gives me some examples. That helps, but is there more to this? Can I make up new names that sound like they belong in the same theme or are the names given in the book the only ones Starfleet has produced out of its shipyards? What about the numbers? Doing all Cruisers have to be in the 1700's? And the Frigates are all 300's and 400's?
I mean, yeah this all sounds super nerdy with hardcore details, but hey .... that's what nerd hobbies are for right?
Anyways, thanks for any help you can offer.

Question #1:
Steve Cole, who designed the game... designed the ships of the SFU races - i.e., the Orion Pirates, Gorns, Kzinti, Lyrans, Hydrans, Andromedan, WYN Star Cluster, ISC, etc.
He determined the basic lay-out when the Star Fleet Battles SSDs (Ships System Displays - similar to the Fed Comm Ship Cards) were created. The minis were based (in part) off of art work created for the SFB rule books, and contrarily - some of the art work was based off of minis that had been created from the lay out of the SSDs. The SSDs provide sort of a "top down" silhouette of the ships, so everything else goes from there.
The Star Fleet Universe (and the Empires in it) have evolved and expanded over the course of the last 30 years [SFB was first released around 1979], but it's done so in a logical progression. If you obtained the SFB material in the order in was released and read through the "historical" background, you'd see the logic behind the advances and additions.
I'm sure Steve Cole will pop in tomorrow and either expand on this answer... or else he'll point out the errors in my opinions.
Question #2:

This is a link to the official, ADB Starship Name Registry. In it, you'll see the names / hull numbers of every starship (for every empire) named to date. This will give you an idea of the naming conventions and the hull number sequences... both of which also follow a logical progression.

Evil Goatee -
There's not much I can add that Tony (scoutdad) and Mike didn't already, but I'll just give you a "welcome". Nerdy-nerds are welcome here.
Tony really did sum it up well when he put the credit on SVC. This game (and the others in the SFU) are all output of that fruitful mind. Since it's one guy being the driving force behind them for 30 years, the consistency is wonderful. A ship in Star Fleet Battles acts pretty much the same in Federation Commander, and the same-again in Federation & Empire, etc., etc. Even the Prime Directive role-playing games are edited by SVC and adhere to the same "universe" setting.
The minis threads would be the place where minutia of ship naming gets discussed the most, but the whole board has interesting things to read.

Wow. Thanks everyone for the awesome replies and helpful links. I'm sure as I delve further into this game and the hobby of collecting the minis, I'll be returning to ask more and more questions.
The Ship Registry is a great help! Lots of great names in there to choose from. But, is it frowned upon to come up with your own name? I most likely will be just using the names in the registry, but who knows if later on I'm inspired to name a ship after my hometown or something.
Also, it may not matter anyways because, if I use the decal sets from Starfighter Decals, I'm restricted to whatever names are on the decals. Its either that or I try to microscopically paint/pen in my own name. Or make my own decals....which...I would have to do research on how that's done.
Or I can freehand it all and hope people don't mind that its not too "clean" upon looking that close. I don't know though. Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying out my first game soon. I wanna get the basics down so I can play Romulans eventually. Just recently watched the "Balance of Terror" episode. Gotta love a race that puts birds on their ships they way people use to have 'em on the hood of their Trans Ams in the 80's.

Romulans believe this makes their ships go faster. It's a holdover from the days when the lizards blasted the Rommies back into the pre-Warp era on a regular basis.

That reminds me... I recently finished painted a Fed Ex Courier.
It's jet black with gold trim... and a hand painted gold firebird emblem covering the entire topside...
I need to take photos and post them.

I think the guys pretty much answered this. The only correction I would make is some of the "new ship types" were originally designed by other people (who did the SSDs, usually). A guy named Robinson (Andy, I think) designed the first three or four Hydran ships and that inspired me to add more. A game named Jim Curtis designed the first couple of Lyrans and I added more. I did the Gorns and Kzintis and Orions and Seltorians. Kenneth L Kaufman designed the SparrowHawk series of Romulans which inspired the rest of the "hawk series". Josh Spencer did the ISC. Jon Cleaves did the Vudar. Marc Cocherl did the original WYN fish ship which inspired the others. And I probably left out three or four really good friends but I need to move on to other projects.
You can certainly make up your own names. You can even email those to me and maybe I'll add them to the registry if I think they're cool.

Thanks for the "behind the scenes" info. I find it very cool that a game designer actively posts on his game's own forums. Thanks again.
By the way, just had my first game last night and I gotta say, it was really fun. I can't wait to play some more.

SVC's willingness to read and respond to us has been one of the joys of these boards, even if we do drive him up the wall at times.
As some of the others have said, one of the joys many of have with the entire SFU is that, because one small group (primarily Steve V Cole and his long time collaborator, Stephen P Petrick) have been at the center of things, there is a strong sense of internal continuity. This is partly because both had been agreevated by the continuity errors (and flat out inoring of it when it wasn't convenient to the writers) of the original series and its follow ups. Not that they have been perfect, but they have tried to give some kind of logical reason for changes (including one or two 'okay, in retrospect our original idea doesn't work so here is the real history.')
There is a significant number of short stories and 'historical' articles published about the Universe out there, 90% are in the twice yearly
'Captain's Log'
books. These books are also a good source for new information and looks to the future, though they cover ALL of the SFU games.
If you are a Klingon fan, they consolidated several of the Empires stories together in a single book, but for the love of me, I can't find it on the 'store front' at this moment.
I hope you enjoy your games and you stick around.

Hampshire maintains high standards in primary schools
Thursday, 12 December 2013
Final performance tables for key stage 2 Standard Assessment Test (SATs) results for 2013 have just been released and show that Hampshire's schools have built on the high standards their pupils attain in reading, writing and mathematics.
Children sat these tests at the end of Year 6 at primary school (11 years old). 87% of Hampshire children achieved the nationally expected level 4 or above in mathematics, 88% in reading and 84% in writing. The percentage of those achieving level 4 in all areas continues to improve and has reached 78%. A significant proportion (22%) continue to reach the higher standard of level 5 in all three subject areas. All of these figures are higher than the provisionally reported national figures for state primary schools.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Executive Member for Education commented: "These results reflect the high standards and hard work of our children, teachers and local authority staff. These children have now started secondary school with the tools to be successful in this phase of their education. We are ambitious for our schools and the pupils who are educated by them. To this end we continue to support and challenge Hampshire schools and they continue to achieve high standards and strive to improve further."

You can flatten the mat by placing a couple of cookie sheets in the freezer until very cold. Place your cutting mat on the counter and put the frozen cookie sheets on top and weigh them down with something flat and heavy. Leave them in this position until the mat has flattened again for a few hours. This will usually solve the warping problem. Do not use heat to try to fix this, heat will do more damage.
The odor is caused by the self-healing materials and sometimes the odor can be very strong. There are some tricks to get the odor out:
Store the mat in a sealed container with some coffee beans or some crumpled up newspaper. Those two items help absorb any odor.

Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011
Voting has finished!
The winner of the first Reinhard Mohn Prize has been decided
In March 2011 some 11,600 German citizens were invited to choose the winner of the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011 from the seven finalists.
In view of the theme of this year's Reinhard Mohn Prize – Vitalizing democracy through participation – it was appropriate for the winner to be decided by ordinary citizens. A total of 11,600 citizens from all over Germany were invited to take part in the citizens' jury for the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011, the composition of this jury reflecting the full diversity of society. 81 percent of these (9,403) registered as jury members on the internet platform www.abstimmung-rmp2011.de and found out about the projects that had been nominated for the award. Almost three quarters (72 percent) of the members of the jury actively participated and cast their vote for one or more of the projects that had been nominated. The participants based their decision on detailed case studies and video portraits. The breakdown of the votes is shown in the table under Downloads.
The winner of the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011 is: City and school development through the citizens' budget in Recife, Brazil!
There are many comments from the citizens showing why they decided to choose this project:
- "What I found remarkable about this project is that citizens who would otherwise have no influence on policies and the use of budgets can participate and bring about actual changes in their city. This strengthens the self-confidence and dignity of these people and that is the aim of any fair policy."
As a result, it is clear that the following points about political participation are particularly important to the citizens involved: direct co-determination, development of concrete solutions, the participation of all groups in society, focusing on areas where the need is greatest and a noticeable contribution to greater social justice.
- "In this project I was particularly impressed by the children's citizen budget. This makes it possible for people to experience and learn about the basic principles of democracy from a very young age. Anyone growing up with that experience will naturally engage in democratic processes as an adult."
- "This project is based on people's needs and is an opportunity for direct citizen participation. The fact that no financial framework is set out before developing the project makes it possible to develop future-oriented projects. Although the next stage is of course to check whether these are feasible, it doesn't mean that we have to lose sight of the actual objective. I also think this is a good opportunity to learn how to deal with compromises and how to put these forward. This is an effective way to strengthen the attachment and responsibility that the citizens feel towards their city."
- "The level of the citizens' budget is only specified retrospectively. This allows citizens to work on solutions based on real needs without being thwarted in their efforts from the start because there is no money available. Gearing the solutions to requirements in this way shows that the citizens and their needs are being taken seriously – the citizens, in turn, are able to take their government seriously."
- "This project enables participation from the bottom of society upwards and this is something truly exemplary. It makes it possible to include those who are socially disadvantaged. This is a very active way to promote the idea of participation, something which I think is extremely important in order to ensure long-term changes and social harmony. What I also think is important is that the participation processes are accessible to poorer sections of society. If citizens can experience at first hand how they can influence decisions about society this will help them to develop social responsibility."
The winner of the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011 was honored at an awards ceremony on June 16, 2011 in Gütersloh. The awards speech was given by the German Chancellor, Dr. Angela Merkel.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in voting for the Reinhard Mohn Prize!

Family Friendly New Year's Eve Party
Celebrate the New Year with family and friends with fun kid's party activities and adult-only beverages
December 28th, 2012 | 6:54 AM
Kids love making noise, staying up late, eating fatty foods and celebrating – so why wouldn't they love New Year's too? If it's an event you've skipped out on because the kids were too small to understand or too young to stay up past midnight, you're missing out on a great opportunity to share in an unbelievable experience with the whole family.
This New Year's Eve, instead of skipping the hootenanny altogether or slipping out the door for an adult-only soiree, throw a bash that all ages can enjoy. We can bet there are a few parents in your same boat, so share the holiday with them too for the ultimate family friendly New Year's Eve celebration.
Celebrate on Another Time Zone
If you're lucky enough to live on the West Coast, there's no harm in celebrating with Ryan Seacrest and New York at 9pm. But that isn't the only time zone that celebrates a little earlier than the rest of us in the United States. Why not celebrate with the UK? If you're based on the East Coast New Year's in London is 6pm, meaning you can all clink glasses – whether they're filled with champagne or sparkling cider – together.
Games, Food and More Games
Pull out all the stops for the kids, and for yourself, this New Years. Kid's party activities can range from board games to fun DIY crafts, while you can throw in some adult-only games for family and friends once the kids are put down. Drinking games might seem obsolete but add it to the countdown and it'll be worth every final minute.
Kids love to make noise, and most of the time you can't stand it. Let them scream and shout with gusto through the help of New Year's Eve party noisemakers that do all the talking for them. The afternoon can be spent crafting your very own party noisemakers for a family-friendly activity that will go well into the evening.
Let them be the DJ. Kids will manage to stay up a bit longer, and get the dance floor moving and shaking, if they've got tunes they'll love. Plus, you can turn up the good old oldies once their eyes start to flutter. And with their extra energy and dance moves around 9pm, you'll be sure to see them snoozing within no time.
Photo Booth
Say cheese! No family friendly party with fun kids party activities would be complete without a photo booth. You don't need to rent one to have a photography session, just clear out a closet near the living room and put your camera on auto-shoot. Add a few accessories from the kids' costume closet to make a great addition to all the funny faces.

There are a lot of iPad mounts on the market. What we love about the Koala Mount is that it doesn't require tools and a nearby First-Aid kit.
Instead, the Koala Mount has a couple of 3M's large Command strips on the back, which can hold up to 5 pounds each. According to brothers Chris and Colby Moyer, the duo that designed the Koala, the strips provide a tight grip. In fact, they've used them before, on the pair's Dockem universal wall mount.
Designed to fit the iPad and iPad 2, the Koala Mount also has a cord clip to cut down on the clutter. The brothers say they've also tested out the Koala with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Motorola Xoom, and it fits those tablets nicely as well.
That brings us to another thing that we love: the Koala Mount was actually designed by two brothers. The Moyers are currently raising money for the product through the Kickstarter website. The first 500 to pledge $10 will secure a Koala Mount—as well as free delivery within the continental U.S. Each order also comes with a couple of glow stickers, so you can find those cords in the dark.
At last peek, the Moyers had $3,838 of their $5,000 goal. The two will take pledges through January 29, 2012, with plans to deliver the Koala Mount to potential customers in April 2012.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Mother's Day Embroidered Lavender Sachets
By: Becky Kazana of thefabmissb.blogspot.com
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Follow this tutorial from Becky Kazana to create a beautiful, embroidered lavender sachet for Mother's Day. You can buy lavender in bulk and make many of these sachets with different embroidery designs. Give as gifts all year.
Let's get started, shall we? First, cut your scrap fabric into a rectangle. Mine is roughly 4.5 x9", but make a size that works for you.
Iron your rectangle in two.
Then fold in the two raw edges at the ends and press them too.
These will be your finished edges.
Use a pencil to draw out a simple design. I put mine directly on the fabric for minimal fuss.
The embroidery is the most time consuming part, so keep your design simple. I used no more than three colors for maximum impact and minimal hassle.
Now you'll want to press out the hoop imprint.
There we are! Nice and crisp.
Turn your handiwork inside out. Use your sewing machine to make two neat seams along both raw sides.
Next, trim away any excess fabric and threads. I like to snip the corners at diagonals which gives a tidier looking corner.
Now turn it right side out again. (And suddenly your embroidery design has magically transformed into something more elaborate! Kidding Kidding- I just lost track of my photos in the process of documenting all these steps! So we've switched from lavender embroidery to tulips and violets. You get the idea.)
Gently fill your sachet. You want it plump, but not overflowing. Close with a straight pin.
One more pass on the sewing machine, snip off the extra thread and...
What lovely things have you been making lately?

- Great Boozy Brunch SpecialOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/16/2014Been here twice now for Boozy brunch and it was really really good. The food isn't fantastic, but perfectly decent and the service is very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently a solid choice.NotReturningVIPDined on 11/10/2014Ken and Cook is a hidden gem on the edge of SoHo. Their lunch is extremely tasty and their soups never disappoint. Pricing, particularly for lunch, is more than reasonable. The service never fails to impress, attentive and kind without being intrusive. The seating is also well done, ample tables without being on top of each other. The decor is also interesting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/26/2014Service was awful. I watched the waiter take my friends order then when my food came out and hers didn't we were confused. Half an hour later no food and no one coming to check on us. We finally had to flag a busboy to tell them to cancel the order because I was already finished with my food. The waiter was beyond rude (or just slow) and didn't even apologize for his error.
- Random nightDannyDined on 10/24/2014A friend was hungry after drinks and Ken and Cook saved the day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AverageEllielDined on 9/18/2014I had been to Ken and Cook for a late night party when it opened and wanted to return. I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I had the Dover Sole with capers which the filet at the table, it was $45. It was a little bland, the veg was a bowl of several mushy specimines, the potatoes were good, but even I can fry a spud! Given the price I need that little bit extra flair to convince me to rush back.Special Features:
- Very good food, spotty serviceSamuelVIPDined on 9/5/2014Had dinner there recently on a Friday. Food was really good, nice range of options. Service was quite spotty; may have been too busy, but waitress basically stopped coming to the table - difficult to order a drink that way! Otherwise the restaurant was really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchMontanaVIPDined on 8/17/2014A planned brunch turned into an unplanned boozy brunch- service was awesome, they let us go over the two hours because they weren't super busy. Definitely strong drinks and delicious food- the croissant french toast was amazing!Special Features:
- Great findoneeyedjacks1Dined on 8/15/2014Great atmosphere, menu and cocktail list. Restaurant Week menu had plenty of options and offered larger than normal portions. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Great find!BethNYVIPDined on 8/14/2014This is a great restaurant for the neighborhood! Lovely, comfy decor and wonderful bar. Good wine options and food was mostly good. Fava bean salad VERY bland. But beets salad, meatballs, and salmon tartare very good! I'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Meal for a Gilt City VoucherreallyhungrygirlDined on 8/12/2014Decided to eat at Ken&Cook because of the great deal on Gilt City. My boyfriend and I split the Beets appetizer as well at the Burrata. Both were perfectly fine but nothing spectacular. For the entree, I got the Strip Steak and fries which were both heavily salted. I don't think the food was worth the normal menu price, but was perfectly nice for the coupon value.Special Features:
- Excellent MealOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/11/2014Went for restaurant week prior to fringe festival event. Happy hour at the bar included $1 oysters (yum). The six of us had the three different entrees offered, a steak which was perfectly cooked ($38 on regular menu, appeared to be same for special menu which was $38 for three courses) grilled tuna and scallops. Everyone loved the entrees. The appetizers (Kale salad, crabcakes or mini meatballs were also top notch, as were the desserts of panna cotta or chocolate cake. Had an excellent bordeaux for a reasonable price. Not only great when in the neighborhood,but worth a special trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First Timer!b0nyyDined on 8/4/2014The place was surprisingly empty the day I went for lunch with my friend and my puppy. Usually the place is packed and especially the outdoor seating. The server immediately went to the back and filled a container with water for my pup which I thought was extremely thoughtful without me requesting it. Servers were very attentive but food was served very slow. (Restaurant week summer 2014)Special Features:
- Pretty looking but pass pass passBLAHDined on 8/3/2014When we asked if they had any specials for the evening they said no. Yet after our dinner on the way out my husband noticed a bunch of specials up on a board hmmm. Started with oysters , nothing special . As we were eating them they bought out our apps. Burrata over a little aurgula with 3 cherry tomatoes split in half. A dot of olive oil ( not good quality). Have bought better in a supermarket. No seasoning no taste. As short a time that they dumped our apps was a long of a time we waited and waited for our dinner. The mussels in my husbands dish were so small you could hardly see them. I had duck breast. It was cooked nice but the skin was not crisp at all. The sweet potato mash was way to sweet for the duck . Plus it was very warm inside
- The following 101 reviews are from the Ken & Cook reviews archive.
- A little disappointingDsnyc14Dined on 7/26/2014Crab cakes had no flavor something I would expect frozen. Steak ok but lots of grizzle. Nolita tequila cocktail was refreshing. Mash potatoes were very good. Dessert was disappointing. Nothing was horrible but nothing was great either. Servers were pleasant but seemed more interested in each other.Special Features:
- Easy to enjoy.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/25/2014I made a reservation for 4. Called last minute to change to 8. No problem, they accommodated. Food was good, service energetic & friendly. Would go again. Recommend apps crab cake or meatballs, best entree scallops.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/23/2014Fantastic and interesting food. Noisy because of traffic outside (the front was open due to the season) but otherwise a cute space with lovely service. Will definitely try to get there again and would recommend it to anyone.Special Features:
- jcblackDined on 7/22/2014Had the crab cakes, YUM. The scallops and tuna were also delicious.Special Features:
- Delicious dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/22/2014My friend and I had dinner at Ken & Cook last week. We both ordered from the Restaurant Week menu, sharing the crab cake appetizer and meatball appetizer first. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous. We both chose seared scallops as our entree. They were good-sized and seared perfectly. The molten lava cake was paired perfectly with salted caramel ice cream. The waitstaff was very attentive throughout the evening, and made no attempt to rush us out.Special Features:
- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/10/2014Very nice place. Excellent service. Great food. Highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dinner!NYCgirlVIPDined on 7/3/2014Our only complaint was that our waitress must have been new and was completely clueless to help us with any questions we had. But instead of saying that or getting someone who did know, she just stood there and said "I don't know". A little odd. But other than that, food was great.Special Features:
- Great Food and locationOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/17/2014Been to Ken & Cook twice - their food is great! Very cute place - crabcake, oysters, tuna - yummy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/10/2014The food was ok but the service was outstanding !!!Special Features:
- So DisappointingSglawDined on 6/8/2014Beautiful space in a very cool neighborhood but some of the worst food and most incompetent service I have encountered in a long time.
- Bartender could use some lessons!NornorVIPDined on 6/1/2014Good food and great service, but the bartenders could use some tips--and not in the $ kind of way! I would not recommend coming for a drink. 1. My sister and I order mimosas with our brunch and but they were brought out relatively warm so we had to order ice to put into our drinks. 2. My boyfriend ordered a Delirium (a favorite beer among the three of us) but it did NOT taste like Delirium. I've had the beer on tap and in the bottle, and all three of us agreed it wasn't right. 3. My boyfriend returned the beer and got another type, and the bartender didn't fill the glass! There was so much foam on the beer (probably poured wrong), so it ended up being filled only 2/3rds of the way. I'm not even a bartender and I could of done better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ImproperCriticDined on 5/25/2014Service was rude and cocky. Food was mediocre. Ambience was loud. Would not recommend to anyone.
- Excellent Seafood via casual diningOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 5/22/2014I read great review on Ken & Cook of its food and the food was fabulous. I had the salmon tartrate so fresh- generous appetizer portion. Shared a cocktail shrimp - it was fabulous. Shared the crabcake again generous portion and as I like it - crabby, fresh and good bread crumb crust. Finally - the perfect grilled tuna - fresh, delicious and oh so full. I find their food to be well presented, FRESH, generously portioned and not overseason. Just simple seasoning of salt, little pepper, olive oil and FRESH ingredients. Keep up the good work - I'm coming back next month to celebrate another friend's birthday. Overall a great find for foodies,although store front can be missed - but it seems like they are working on more outdoor seating.Special Features:
- lovelytheirfanVIPDined on 5/19/2014BF loved the fried chicken, their signature plate, bartender, manager, entire team, wonderful. just wonderful perfectly cooked food.Special Features:
- Really good food and fun placeDanielleP143VIPDined on 5/3/2014Wish our waiter had been a bit more knowledgeable about the menu and that the waiter that then DID help us had been a bit clearer about how our food was going to come out (all at once vs in courses-who brings a cheese plate out at the same time as an entree?)...he asked us if we wanted to it all once-and we figured he meant appetizers all at once and entree seperately-but he meant literally all at once and even tried to tell us to eat our entree before our cheese plate so it wouldnt get cold...when REALLY it shouldnt have been brought out all at once. Odd service choice... BUT the food was great-loved the vegetable plate and cheese plate...and our Tuna was AMAZING as well. The Salmon Tartare was good but not exceptional.Special Features:
- Just OKmleb143VIPDined on 4/30/2014The restaurant was completely dead! Only one other group there for dinner on a Weds night. Some menu items were "out" (of course it's always the stuff you really wanted to try) and then we were given a hard time when we tried to use a TravelZoo voucher. I heard this place has a great brunch... maybe one day I will go back to try it.
- Cute placeThidaVIPDined on 4/18/2014Very cute place, food was good but nothing really special.
- Great Happy Hour & PastanumnumVIPDined on 4/18/2014Came here before a show at Bowery Ballroom and loved the happy hour specials, had dinner and the pappardelle was outstanding.Special Features:
- Great spot, will return!LahuVIPDined on 4/5/2014I'm not in this area often but if I was I'd eat here a LOT. Great spot, had the mini meatballs to start (delicious) and the tuna steak as main (great portion size, seared perfectly). My fellow diners' lamb and duck also looked great. Will go back!Special Features:
- Ambience and food are verryOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/30/2014Ambience and food are verry good, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Seemed like there was 1 waiter for the entire restaurant and he spent half the time chatting at the bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- neighborhood restaurant with good faaaaaaaaaDined on 3/5/2014The restaurant is not too big. There were several waiters working at the time of dinner. The wait to sit doesn't take long. The food was good. The waiters are friendly and would check on us after serving the food. It's a place for small group gathering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good spot to try!CassCDined on 2/23/2014Dined here with a friend for Sunday dinner the food was great minus the appetizer (not a big raw salmon fan) and the host was kind and pleasant. The ambience is very romantic, half way through dinner a live band started playing and set the mood for some couples that were there. The aged strip steak was cooked to perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food & MusicHungry2Dined on 2/20/2014Had an amazing meal with great ambiance. It was restaurant week and the place was busy, but they took great care of us. They had a trio playing live music which was awesome. We will def be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnersf373VIPDined on 1/29/2014Were really accommodating. Food and wine were really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Have eat here twice whileOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 1/28/2014Have eat here twice while on business in the city. Both experiences have been great. Good food, and wine and excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- solidfinedinerVIPDined on 1/24/2014Pleasant somewhat chic room/decor (but small tables - hard if you're sharing dishes), Service fairly attentive, food good if somewhat unimaginative and predictable. The wine list has a very nice range of selections at all price points. Nice cheese selections. Might be a good place for just drinks at the bar with cheese.....Special Features:
- service good, food saltyChristineIsPinkVIPDined on 1/17/2014treated my friend for her graduation. service was friendly and just right. we felt taken care of but not rushed or like the server(s) were hovering or annoying. BIG PLUS on service for the server bringing us brand new drinks as we were just getting to empty (although i can't tell from the receipt whether we were charged for refills we didn't order - OJ and club soda). the food was all good BUUUUT a bit salty. The octopus app, mussels, and shrimp pasta were still edible (albeit with a lot of water) but the broccoli rabe was inedible. We should've sent it back but I was lazy. As i've previously noted, I tend to have a bland palate. Maybe not too salty for most people. Space is small but never felt crowded or too loud.Special Features:

In an interview with Automotive News, Jaguar's global brand director, Adrian Hallmark, lets known that the UK automotive company is currently considering bringing a small sedan to market. This new sedan would slot in under the Jaguar XF and compete directly against the F30 3-series or the Audi A4/A5.
The last time Jaguar introduced a smaller sedan with lower pricing to take on the 3-series was with the Ford Mondeo based X-type, which had little success in the competitive compact sports sedan segment.
But, Jaguar may be ready … CONTINUED
We bring you the most revealing photos yet of the upcoming 2012 3-series (F30)! Until now, the F30 has been fully cladded with little showing other than its general lines, shape, stance, and proportions. The strip tease has now commenced with part of the headlights now visible – showing beautiful LED angel eyes. The tail lights have now also been partially unveiled, showing a wrap around design featuring upsweeping light bars, LED indicators, and regular brake lights.
The production rear bumper has now also been installed … CONTINUED
Here is another F30 3-series render, courtesy of Bimmer Magazine. The front front fascia's more upright stance and lower bumper borrows from the current 5 and 7-series bumper. We hope the headlights come out as sleek as the ones in this render.
We reported earlier about the rumor that BMW was considering to build a fourth model at the US plant in Spartanburg, SC. Ian Robertson, member of the BMW board of management responsible for sales and marketing, now confirmed with FAZ that they were actually looking into this. While there's no final decision, Robertson said they "would by no means put that off the table." The US market continues to be the most important market for premium vehicles, so an US production would make sense for either … CONTINUED
Autocar Magazine in the UK is speculating that the rumored 3-cylinder engine that BMW has been working on for some time now, will be seen under the hood of the F30 3-Series. This should come as no surprise, as the 3-Series is the bread and butter volume car in the BMW brand, and such an efficient engine would go a long way into promoting BMW as THE brand for sustainability.
The engine itself is rumored to be a 1.5L 3-Cylinder diesel engine … CONTINUED
Motortrend has posted its speculations on the 2012 F30 3 series, ruminating on the F30′s size, wheelbase, styling, suspension, and powertrain.
The next generation F30 3-series sedan is currently undergoing winter testing in northern Sweden. It wears the same heavy camouflage as the previous sightings, so these photos are best for determining proportions, size, and stance. Thus far, the F30 test mules spied have all had great proportions and stance. The F30 will be slightly larger and have a longer wheelbase than the current E90 sedan but features shorter overhangs to maintain sporty and squat proportions. Consistent with current BMW design language, the F30 will have wider … CONTINUED
Autoexpress previews the 2012 F30 3-series sedan and 2014 F32 M3 coupe. Not much info is new here than what we have previously posted, but their renders are a fun look at what the next generation F30 and F32 3-series and M3 may resemble.
Consistent with what we have posted in the past, the front fascia features a more upright angle, consistent with BMW's current designs seen in the Z4, 5-series and 7-series. The F30/F32 3-series is also expected to be slightly larger in size, but with … CONTINUED
Here are some new renders of the next generation 2012 F30/F32 3-series coupe and sedan. Like the current generation, the coupe and sedan will continue to sport unique designs. The next generation 3-series is expected to grow slightly in size and wheelbase, but feature even shorter overhangs to preserve its sporty stance and style. The front fascia is expected to become more upright, consistent with BMW's latest design language seen in the current Z4, F10 5-series, and F01 7-series.
The F32 3 series coupe is expected to … CONTINUED
We previously posted spy photos of the F30s interior which was a dummy interior from the 1-series, but the F30 mules have now been fitted with production form interiors. Visible now is the steering wheel, entire driver console – including tach and speedometer, as well as parts of the center console and interior door. Exterior-wise, the same camouflage remains as in previous F30 sightings.
Compared to the E90 3-series, the F30 will feature a … CONTINUED
The next generation 3-series lineup (expected beginning 2012) will include a Gran Turismo (GT) model. Scott26 provides a preview of the F3x 3-series GT, calling it a shrunken down CS Concept. Details and preview renderings inside.
The F30 3-series is due in a year and a half so its details and features will gradually come to light, but for now it's interesting to speculate on its likely features. Have some thoughts on possible F30 equipment and features? Share them and see how accurate you are come 2012.

A few random thoughts....
Canucks need to sign a backup goaltender. It is insane to go into this season asking Lack to play 20-30 games. He's coming off a season on the shelf and has never played in the NHL. He should definitely get some games this season but not as the primary backup.
If we have a couple mill of cap space when we're done with Tanev and Alberts/Fistric, maybe we should kick the tires on Prospal for a 1-year deal. Yeah he's old and European, but he put up 30 points last season and could chip in on the second, third or fourth lines when necessary.
Trade proposal: Burrows, Bieksa, Schoeder and a third for a decent stay-at-home D and a high-end winger.

I ordered ---at a good price, too, it was shipped on time, and I'm content ! Good work, Overstock.com !!
took about a week to receive, but other that, I have no problems
You can't go wrong on these inexpensive ink cartrigdges. The quality of printing is fine, as is the amount of ink the remanufacturer puts back in the cartridge.
Out of the two, only one worked. I will not order this again.
Great product at a great price! I will definitely use "O" again.
