With about every other OS X release, I perform a clean install on my main Mac. There's a good overview on how to perform a clean install at OS X Daily. I've gradually worked up a checklist in Evernote for what I need to remember to do both before and after the install is complete. Here is my checklist.

Open Safari Pages in Chrome With a Keystroke
Adobe Flash is a notorious resource and battery hog. I'm currently seeing if I can get by in Safari on my MacBook without it. I had been using an extension to selectively enable Flash in Safari, but I wanted to see if I could live without Flash in Safari entirely, and just jump over to Chrome (which comes packaged with Flash) when I absolutely needed to see a page that used Flash. All of the solutions that I found online involved Applescripts that were throwing errors for me, until I jumped into the Keyboard Maestro Yahoo Group and found a script that worked. I've paired that with Keyboard Maestro, and can now use a keystroke to open the currently active Safari tab in Chrome.
OmniFocus 2 for iPad – First Screenshots and Release Date
Yep, that image you see above is a screenshot of OmniFocus 2 for iPad. OmniFocus has been my task management app of choice since early 2012. I use it on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The Mac and iPhone versions have both received updates since I started using them, while the iPad version has been stuck with the "old look." The bigger drawback of the current iPad version, aside from the look, is the lack of background sync. That means that the app currently only updates when it is active.
All of that should change soon. Ken Case, the Omni Group's CEO, recently tweeted the above screenshot. In a tweet containing another screenshot (see below), he also announced that the Pro version will let you customize your sidebar with your own perspectives. Finally, he also announced via Twitter that the Omni Group is hoping to launch the app on September 17, if iOS 8 launches on that date.
Now I'm really looking forward to iOS 8. How about you?
Here is the second screenshot, showing a settings page:
PopClip – iOS-style Text Manipulation on Your Mac
Mention the convergence of iOS and OS X, and many Mac users contort with rage. The thought of OS X moving toward iOS is viewed by many as "dumbing down" the desktop system. There are ways in which OS X can become more efficient by borrowing from iOS, however. One way is through text manipulation, via an app called PopClip. On iOS, if you select text, a little box pops up above the text, with options that are dependent on the context in which the box was invoked. Choices could include Cut, Copy, Paste, text formatting (bold, italics, etc.), or more.
LastPass Security Flaws Disclosed
The link below takes you to the best explanation I've seen on two recently disclosed LastPass security flaws. A few thoughts:
- The Bookmarklet vulnerability is the more serious of the two problems, but its exploitation would be difficult – you'd have to be on a rogue or compromised site, and then use the bookmarklet to try to log into that site. Less than 1% of LastPass users use the bookmarklet. Still, I'd venture a guess that most exploits come via compromised sites, so maybe this is a bigger problem than it seems.
- The One Time Password vulnerability would be unlikely to cause a problem, as someone would need to target you with your username, and even then the person would only have access to your encrypted data.
Most concerning is how long it took LastPass to disclose these vulnerabilities after they were patched- about 10 months. The LastPass blog post made it sound like the company was giving the researcher a chance to publish his findings first. Sounds like PR spin to me, with the company having no choice but to discuss the fixed problem after the researcher disclosed it publicly.
I've been using 1Password since the start of the year, but I was a devoted LastPass user prior to that. I fell into the "less than 1%" of users who used the bookmarklet. In fact, the bookmarklet is what I miss the most in 1Password, as it made browsing in Safari on iOS much easier.
Despite the way LastPass seems to be downplaying this, this one is a serious stumble that should give users pause. Still, I think a password manager like LastPass is a much better alternative to the way that most people handle passwords.

The Death of Aperture. Good news?
If you didn't see the news today, Apple will be ceasing development of Aperture when the new OS X Photos app is released next year. At first blush, this seems like bad news for Aperture users. ApertureExpert has an interesting take on the news, however, that actually has me feeling hopeful for the future of the Photos app. The Photos app as a hub for your photos, with iOS-like extensions allowing any other app, including Lightroom, to interact with it? Count me in, if it comes to pass.
Easy Paragraph Selection in iOS
This is one if those tips that makes you wonder what else about iOS you don't know. I had been doing this the hard way – tap and drag those tiny handles. Two finger tap doesn't seem to work in all apps that I tried, and certainly is easier on an iPad.
Use a two-finger tap directly onto the paragraph to instantly select the entire paragraph or group of contiguous words.
Thanks to OS X Daily for another handy tip.

Universal Search In OmniFocus
Sometimes I complete tasks almost unintentionally, in a reactive manner. Someone might call me on the phone, for example, and the conversation takes care of a task that I had previously set up as an action in OmniFocus. I then need to hunt down the action to mark it as complete. If you use the OmniFocus search box, your search would only search the Perspective currently in focus. I wanted to create a quick and easy way to perform a universal search, so I could find my tasks more easily.
1Password for Windows Version 4 Is Here – First Impressions
AgileBits released 1Password for Windows version 4 today. Some quick first impressions:
- The browser extensions are the real sweet part of this update. As the AgileBits blog summarizes, "[y]ou can drill down to view vault items, search your vault, access your Favorites, change extension settings, and, of course, it's still just a single click to open a new site, fill your credentials, and login."
- Folders and favorites now sync between platforms. If this was present in version 3, I missed it. I noticed for the first time today that folders created on my iPad and Mac were showing up in the Windows app. In the past, my Windows install sort of sat on an island of its own with respect to folders and favorites. No longer.
- Multiple vaults. For some time, I've wanted to cull out rarely used passwords, and put them into a separate vault. I've held off, since using multiple vaults was cumbersome, if not impossible, on Windows. It's easy now.
- Watchtower support. On the Mac version, AgileBits introduced a feature that alerted you to sites where you had a login, and where the site had a security issue. That is now in the Windows app. Unfortunately (through no fault of 1Password), the list of sites is pretty long.
- The Windows app still isn't as visually appealing as the Mac or iOS apps.
- I still can't get universal unlock to work. Even if the Windows desktop app is open, I still need to login via the browser extension. This has been a problem for me going back to when I started with 1Password at version 3.
- If you purchased 1Password for Windows in 2013 or later, the upgrade to version 4 is free.
Give Your Gear Personality
A sign that you're a true geek – you don't name your car, but you name your computers. Someone shared a cartoon on Google+ recently of a guy naming his gear. I can no longer find that cartoon, but it did inspire me to name my computers and some other gear this weekend. On a Mac, this is in the Sharing section of System Preferences. On your iDevices, it is in the About section of the Settings app,
Somehow, gear seems to have more personality when you name it. My gear is named it after ski runs at Big Sky, Montana. My workhouse MacBook is no longer the bland "Evan's MacBook," but is now the hardworking "Iron Horse." My old iMac is no longer the boring "Evan's iMac," but is the reliable and most senior "Papa Bear." My media server is "Hollywood," and so on.

Trentin Hardrick, aka Trigga-Trigga
- Written by Kelvin Cowans
We were on our way to Live Tone Studios in Whitehaven. I was driving 23-year-old New Orleans native Trentin Hardrick to meet Memphis producers Sleepy and Taz, two people I knew could turn water into wine when it comes to making music.
I noticed that Trentin, aka Trigga-Trigga, didn't have any notepads or anything to write with. Watching an artist write verses and hooks on the spot in a studio is a norm in the management business. I asked Trentin, who was referred to me for management by his father, where was his song-filled note pad.
By way of his New Orleans drawl, Trentin said he had five albums written down in his head. I wondered whether I was wasting time and gas bringing this "unprepared" young man to the studio. I dropped that thought as soon as they put the music on. Right away I knew that I was witnessing someone with a gift.
The streets
"Growing up in New Orleans is competitive. Everybody want to be the best at something. Life is so fast there," said Trentin, indulging my business-focused curiosity. "I was 10 years old hanging out on the corners until 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. in the morning. It was definitely crime infested. But you know, I considered it a privilege to grow up there because it was so hard to live there, and if you made it out, then everybody know you official."
I asked why he was running the streets at such an early age.
"That's just how it is. Everybody want to be successful, so they do whatever they think they need to do to make money. New Orleans is a city that's like a gift and a curse, but no matter what, it makes you strong," said Trentin.
"I started out like a lot of the other young kids. When I was 13, I played football for the East Shore Buffaloes Playground Association, that's the neighborhood I'm from, and I excelled at that," he said. "We won the championship and I made the All-Star team that went on to play teams in Atlanta. I enjoyed that, but unfortunately I still found my way back to the streets."
I knew that earlier in the year Trentin's brother, Steve Hardrick Jr., had been sentenced to 30 years in jail in association with five murders. I blended that info into the conversation.
"I hear that he (Trentin's brother) calls home and writes you and (that) he's always telling you to do the right thing, watch who you surround yourself with and basically (urges) you to be the best person you can be and follow your dreams in the rap game. What does that mean to you?"
"Everything," said Trentin.
"I love my brother and I feel where he coming from. I've only been out of prison about seven months. ... I literally just left Angola Louisiana State Prison back in April. "
How long were you in there, I asked, also wanting to know what he did to get there.
"I got locked up when I was 17 for probation violation, robbery and distribution and I did 5 years on that charge."
Did he learn anything?
"I learned that I didn't want to be in there. I had a lot of time to think, you heard me? I thought back on my original dream of wanting to be a rapper and that was long before I started playing football. So I used that time in prison to perfect my craft," he said.
"I let prison be my college. I became a battle rapper. We had cyphers like Kendrick Lamar and those other rappers were doing on "The BET Hip Hop Awards" show a few days back, ya dig?
"I was good, but I wasn't the best when I started out. The prison audience let me know that. You have to think about it, but prisoners are the hardest critics you will ever have. They don't have nothing to do all day but sit around and hate you for no reason. They all sit around with a boot in their mouth. (People from New Orleans say you have a boot in your mouth when a person is looking mean for no reason)," said Trentin.
"So when they say you won a battle rap, you really won, you good. I lost about 3 or 4 times but I won about 100 of them. I did some of my time with rappers – C-Murder and Lil Boosie – and they acknowledged me as well. They said I was good and need to get out and use my gift to make money. I felt that was as well."
The conversation turned to inspiration. Trentin said growing up Lil Wayne from The Hot Boys inspired him to start rapping when he dropped the album "Light's Out."
"But it was when I listen Soulja Slim, R.I.P, that made me know I need to write it and go for it. Slim was like a Biggie or Tupac, that's what he meant to New Orleans.
"The world didn't get a chance to hear all of him. He was killed before his time, and when I look in the mirror, that's what I don't want to happen to me. I want to fulfill the dream."
What's next?
"I'm looking to drop a single from my album before Christmas of this year and I'll be dropping the album early next year," said Trentin. "Me and my management team, Six~Four Management LLC., welcome all conversations from Record Labels, but if we can't find one that fit, then we'll do it ourselves.
"Just like when The Hot Boys and No Limit came out back in the late 90's and everybody loved them. America can prepare to fall in love with New Orleans again."
is in fact fastidious, all be able to effortlessly understand it, Thanks a lot.

SYKESVILL, Md. (AP) - The Maryland State Police says three greyhounds are celebrating their graduation and will begin working for police in the state.
The dogs Red, Tallulah and Tayaut have finished training school. Red and Tallulah will remain with the state police and Tayaut will join the Prince George's County police department.
The dogs and their handlers are marking their graduation Wednesday morning at a ceremony at the state police training academy in Sykesville. They've completed a modified five-week training program.
The state police says there are 19 bloodhounds working throughout the state.

The Mutual Concerns Committee would like to extend its gratitude to Jack Pierce, the Sea Cliff Fire Department and all those who donated food for the food drive held at the fire house last week to benefit our organization.
The emergency pantry at Sea Cliff Village Hall was low on food and once again, Jack initiated a food drive. Within a week, the much-needed food was delivered to the pantry.
The Mutual Concerns Committee distributes food to those in need at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. We also provide food for those individuals in crisis throughout the year. The current economic situation has made it necessary for more people than ever to need our services, sometimes on a weekly basis. Thanks to people like Jack and the outpouring of support from the community, we are able to help those in need.

Chris Ochieng finally ended the drought, sending the Chattanooga Football Club into the main draw of the U.S. Open Cup.
Ochieng's goal late in overtime Sunday night lifted Chattanooga FC to an exhausting, intense 1-0 win over the Atlanta Silverbacks Reserves at Finley Stadium.
With a spot in the U.S. Open Cup first round on the line, the teams were still looking for their first goal after more than 115 minutes of play. Players for both sides were cramping, and with so much at stake, tensions were high.
Ochieng played every minute — more than 120 by game's end — and finally broke the tie with a volley goal with his left leg offer a header pass from Russell Courtney. The ball softly, CFC coach Brian Crossman said it took "forever," went from Ochieng's neon-yellow cleat past Silverbacks goalkeeper Eric Ati in the 26th minute of the 30-minute overtime.
"That was one of the best moments of my life, maybe," the Kenyan said, moments before being dunked with a cooler full of water.
Goalkeeper Thomas Hunter and the rest of CFC had to sweat out the final few minutes of overtime and were able to keet the shutout. Chattanooga FC general manager Sean McDaniel said qualifying for the Cup is a big step for the third-year club.
"For us in our third year, this has quickly moved us from a local and regional level to a national spotlight," he said.
Hunter was thoroughly tested the entire game and saved multiple quality shots on goal. Ati also stayed busy and neither team was able to find the back of the net through 115 minutes of play, plus injury time.
In the 21st minute, CFC's Mark Sherrod had an excellent scoring opportunity when he took a pass from Ochieng and lined up his shot about 8 yards in front of the goal — only to send it through the uprights, well above the crossbar.
The Silverbacks sent a shot through the uprights shortly after, and both teams eventually went into the locker room at halftime without a goals but having had plenty of good chances.
The chances for both teams continued in the second half, as did the scoreless game. Hunter made a diving save in the 87th minute and CFC came up empty on a free kick from just outside the box at the end of regulation.
Before the winning goal, one of CFC's highlights in overtime was forward Moises Drummond's bicycle kick in the box. Like all the shots that preceded it that point, however, it didn't find the goal.
Cup first-round matchups will be announced Tuesday.

A native of Athens, Ga., John grew up a few hundred yards from the University of Georgia campus. Instead of becoming a Bulldog he attended Ole ...
What a great match! Now one of the top 40 clubs in the country, Chattanooga has a chance to make some noise on the national stage. I can't wait for the announcement of our first round match-up.

Good teachers know the importance of effective teaching strategies. But how do you know when a strategy is working, when it's not, and how to make adjustments? What do research and professional experience say about which strategies are most effective in raising student achievement? This issue will explore these questions and will include articles examining a variety of classroom instructional strategies, such as project-based learning, reciprocal teaching, inquiry-driven learning, group learning, direct instruction, backward planning, mastery learning, differentiated instruction, and timely feedback. How can teachers implement these strategies in ways that produce the richest learning for their students?
Deadline: CLOSED
The typical school day is abuzz with student and teacher talk—whole-class discussions, small-group and paired interactions, student presentations, teacher lectures, question-and-answer sessions, student-led debates—and of course, countless social conversations. How can we use all this talk productively to promote rich content-area learning and to develop the speaking and listening skills that are vital to students' future success? Topics in this issue will include teaching students to be active listeners, encouraging respectful debate, leading whole-class discussions that promote higher-order thinking and encourage all students to participate, teaching to the Common Core speaking and listening standards, and designing instruction so that students talk more and teachers talk less.
A STEM education is becoming increasingly vital, and not just in terms of a shortage of workers in these areas. Our technology-dependent society demands citizens with sophisticated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills who can apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems. How can schools foster student interest in STEM, especially among underrepresented groups? What effect will the Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards have on the STEM curriculum? And what supports will teachers need to promote deeper understanding in these areas? We're looking for articles that target each of the subject areas as well as programs that integrate STEM-related subjects.
Many schools have implemented successful improvement efforts—yet others are struggling to lift their students to acceptable achievement levels. Articles in this issue will examine important components of school improvement, such as education policy, leadership, curriculum, school climate, and community support. We will look at obstacles to school improvement and how they can be overcome. What can we learn from the research on various turnaround models, including turning management over to a charter organization, replacing most of the staff, or even shutting down "failing" schools? We welcome profiles of schools that have gone from low-performing to high-performing, as well as those that have gone from good to better to great.
Children everywhere are coming to school with an array of cultural and linguistic strengths and challenges. How do students' cultural backgrounds influence their interactions with both teachers and classmates, and how can schools improve the academic achievement of their fastest-growing group of students—English language learners? Articles will tackle how schools can personalize learning, promote acquisition of academic English, increase students' access to challenging coursework, and close achievement gaps. What kinds of professional development do all teachers need to serve their culturally diverse students? We welcome articles that address the benefits of classrooms that have a vibrant mix of cultures as well as the challenges associated with poverty, mobility, and interrupted formal education.
From teachers to principals, formal and informal leaders must communicate well to forge a strong school climate and enhance learning. This issue will examine how school leaders can keep communication transparent and supportive. How can teachers, coaches, resource specialists, and other professionals communicate with one another constructively? How can leaders build strong connections with students, families, and business partners; use social media effectively; talk with teachers in ways that promote their professional growth; hold the inevitable tough conversations; communicate clearly in school crises; and shape their school's image?
Deadline: November 3, 2014
The digital generation expects to be able to access learning anytime, anywhere. As mobile technologies emerge at breathtaking speed and become a ubiquitous part of students' lives, how are schools evolving? How are teachers using tablets, smartphones, netbooks, and e-readers to engage students as active learners? This issue will explore innovative ways to create more relevant and challenging learning experiences. We welcome articles about educators' experiences with 1:1 tablet and BYOD (bring-your-own-device) programs and about how schools are meeting such challenges as equity issues, security concerns, professional development needs, and school infrastructure supports.
Deadline: December 1, 2014

The Sudarshana Chakra (Sanskrit: सुदर्शन चक्र) is a pirouetting, disk-like super weapon with 108 serrated edges of Hindu God Vishnu. The Sudarshana Chakra is portrayed on right rear hand of the four hands of Vishnu, who also hold a Shankha (a conch shell) on right fore hand, a Gadda (mace) on left rear hand, and a Padma (lotus) on left fore hand. According to the Puranas, the use of Sudarshana Chakra is called for ultimate destruction of the enemy. The depiction of Sudarshana Chakra with Vishnu also means that Vishnu is the keeper-owner of the celestial bodies and heavens.
The use Sudarshana Chakra is occasionally mentioned in Hindu texts of Rigveda, Yajurveda and Puranas, as an ultimate weapon to eliminate the enemy of law, order and preservation. Such enemies are enumerated variously as rakshasas, asura, and vikrutatma. In one such instance, as scribed in the stanzas of the Mahabharat, Lord Shri Krishna, the avatar of Lord Vishnu, beheads Shishupala with the use of the Sudarshan Chakra, for his rapacious behaviour (committing 100 mistakes each worthy of death) at the Rajsurya yagna, the celebration of Emperor King Yudhishthira. It was also used to cut mandrachal Mountain for samudra manthan.
The Sudarshana chakra was made by the architect of gods, Vishvakarma. Viswakarma's daughter Sanjana was married to Surya, the Sun God. Due to the Sun's blazing light and heat, she was unable to go near the Sun. She complained to her father about this. Viswakarma took the Sun and made him shine less so that his daughter would be able to hug the Sun. The left over Sun "dust" was collected by Viswakarma and he made three things out of it. The first one was the famous aerial vehicle Pushpaka Vimana, the second being the Trishula (Trident) of Lord Shiva, and the third was the Sudarshana Chakra of Lord Vishnu.
It was also used to cut the Goddess Sati, consort of Lord Shiva into 52 pieces after she gave up her life in humiliation. It is said that Shiva, in grief, carried around her lifeless body and was inconsolable. The 52 parts of the Goddess' body were then tossed about in different parts of Indian subcontinent (Bharatvarsha) and came to be known as Shakti Peeths.
Agni-deva (Fire God) had been suffering from a severe stomach ailment. As a remedy, Lord Brahma advised him to consume the herb-rich Khandava forest. However, Takshaka the Serpent-king and a close friend of Lord Indra, was residing there. Whenever Agni tried to consume the forest, Lord Indra's thundershowers quickly extinguished the fire. Once, Krishna and Arjuna arrived at this place. Appearing as a Brahmana, Agni-deva sought their help and they agreed.To fight Indra and His divine army, Agni-deva presented the divine weapon Sudarshana Chakra to Krishna and Gandheevam to Arjuna .
Other Names References
In the Tamil Language, the Sudarshana Chakra is also known as 'Chakkrath Azhwar' (translated as Ring/Circlet of God). The Chakri Dynasty, the current ruling house of Thailand is named after the weapon.
Traditionally, this stotram is recited in homes, when some one has fever or illness of other kinds. Swami Desikan is said to have composed it to help the residents of Tirupputkuzhi, when they suffered from the grip of a epidemic fever. Alternatively, It is said that he composed it at Tiruvahindrapuram prior to a major debate with a leader of another sampradaya. Swami Desikan won that debate and thereby established the supremacy of shriiman Narayana and Visishtadvaita.
Swami Desikan chose the 'dhrithas' chandas as a meter for the eight verses praising sudarshana. He chose the 'aupachandasikam' meter for the phala-Sruti sloka. Both these meters hint at the Vedic origin of sudarshana as indicated by Swami Desikan in one or more verses of this Stotram.

Singapore Chinese Cultural Festival Grand Art Exhibition 2008
I was invited to participate in this group exhibition in conjunction with Singapore's Chinese Cultural Festival 2008. There are many different types of artworks in the show, ranging from traditional chinese brush, calligraphy to 'western' arts like watercolour, oil, sculpture, etc. There were even bonsai plants amongst the display. The exhibition was opened on 29 Feb 2008 and ended on 5 March 2008
Here are some photos taken on the opening day.
... and my boy decided to pay a visit over the weekend.
There was a huge drum outside the exhibition hall, and he definitely had a great fun hitting it.... I think he wants to be the new Kitaro.
Hope you enjoy the photos... :)

Frock Horror Of The Week
Kimora, Kimora, Kimora (or should that be 'Donatella, Donatella, Donatella' judging by your new hairdo). Whatever made you think that Baby Phat shoppers have the desire to look like a great big poo? You should be ashamed. As if the brown wasn't enough, this monstrosity also comes in radioactive red. Check out the camel-toe action. Sexy!
ps. The 'frock' in frock horror is a figure of speech. I know this isn't a dress.

Find a recipe for every occasion
Our recent office move involved serious box-lugging, but there was also a fun part – designing our beautiful new test kitchen. Here's how we achieved the perfect balance between form and function.
To guarantee your success when cooking our recipes at home, we need to test them in an environment akin to a domestic kitchen – no blast chillers or industrial ovens for us! But with up to 80 recipes to test each month and our food team vying for workspace, our needs are a bit different to those of your average home cook. For advice, we turned to Masterclass Kitchens.
The food team's design brief
The work triangle
There's no such thing as too much planning when it comes to designing a perfect kitchen. One method of rationalising what needs to go where is the 'kitchen work triangle' theory, developed in the US in the 1940s. The theory states that an efficient one-person kitchen should have the three most-used work sites (the cook's prep station, the cooker and the fridge) positioned in a triangle so they're next to each other.
Gerald Jones, managing director of Masterclass Kitchens says: "This is common-sense planning – specific areas of the kitchen are devoted to specific tasks. There are many ways you can refine this theory, but it all comes back to the same principle."
To add to the complexity of the challenge, the delicious. kitchen needed to accommodate three of these work triangles in a relatively limited space. "When we're testing recipes, we each need our own work station so we're not tripping over each other," says food editor Lizzie. Islands are efficient ways of creating the kitchen work triangle – if you have the space – so an L-shaped island was an obvious solution here. Plus, an island means the members of the food team can work facing the camera when we're filming.

The Boys and Girls club of Wisconsin Rapids started their super hero summer program off with quite the scene on Monday.
The Ministry Health Spirit crew flew in giving kids a chance to drill them and take a quick tour of their chopper.
"It was cool to learn about it and now that we get to see the helicopter that they work in is even better," said Weston Olds, 9.
Development Director of the Boys and Girls Club, Jill Kurszewski said they were looking for something that would get kids excited to come to the club and not just make it another place to go. She said it also helps teach them some of their core values.
"Super heros, they're always truthful and honor and respect others so it really helps to encapsulate what we teach here at Boys and Girls Club that we just want the kids to be great so we're giving them the tools here so that they can do that," she said.
Each day this week a new super hero crew will be featured. Tuesday, they'll focus on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and have Karate America come as their guest. The summer program runs for ten weeks. You can still sign your kid up if they want to join in on the fun. It's $10 for a year membership, which will also include their programs for the rest of the year. You can find out more information on their website at www.bgc.wra.org.

- Good food and very accommodatingnycdashDined on 7/13/2014Went here to watch the World Cup Finals Argentina-Germany. I made reservations a few days before but had to make a few changes with friends changing their minds and the manager was very accommodating which I really appreciated given that it was the World Cup finals and I knew they were quite busy. I ordered the eggs benedict for brunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the big serving and how delicious it was. I don't drink beer not liking the bitter taste so I usually look for cider or lambic beer and they had it and I was happy. I had a great experience with the delicious food, the cold drink and the energetic atmosphere as we all enjoyed watching the World Cup. Enjoyed depending on which team you were rooting for of course.Special Features:
- Good food, poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2001Dined on 7/3/2014Booked a reservation through OpenTable and clearly noted that we were carrying in a kosher meal for one guest. When the rest of our food was served, the manager came to our table and announced that outside food was not allowed and that my kosher guest could not eat his food at the table. When I informed the manager that I had included this request in my reservation, rather than accept my word, she walked away to check if I was being truthful. The manager returned and announced to the whole table (again) that she would allow it this time but never again in the future. This should have been handled discreetly. Since they will not accommodate special dietary needs, we will not return. 'Tis a pity as the food and beer are quite good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 6/22/2014A group of 4 of us came for beer, food and to watch the US-Portugal World Cup match. The place was packed, with most people there seeming to be interested in the game. The beer selection was as good as we had hoped (and we had high hopes!), the food was very good, and the atmosphere for watching a World Cup game was fantastic. I'm not an expert on Belgian beers, but I thought the selection of drafts was great, and there were many choices in bottles. The Sunday "all you can eat" mussels is a great deal, and the endive and chicken entrees were delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Legitimate Belgian foodnomnomnomDined on 5/31/2014Having lived in Belgium for a year, I can attest to the authenticity of the food (and beer!) selection here. I ordered mussels in a white wine shallot sauce - the mussels were HUGE and the portion was perfectly sized - enough that if I hadn't eaten any of the accompanying fries I would have still been satisfied, but if I were absolutely starving the fries would have filled me up the rest of the way. The Belgian beer selection was phenomenal - I always just find it hard to fathom that those beers cost me $3-4 in Belgium and cost $11 here. But hey, they ARE delicious. Service was good - constantly coming around to refill our waters, but not overly pushy or rushing us either! Great find, and great food prices as well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/11/2014We were here for brunch for Mother's Day. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was very good and reasonably priced. We had the french toast, which was excellent and was served with fresh berries, which was a wonderful accompaniment. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have real maple syrup.Special Features:
- good foodmaysterDined on 5/9/2014been there twice and both times - pasta & meat sauce was divine... al dente w/ flavor... service first time was excellent and attentive / 2nd time - less than impressive considering the waiter basically forgot us ... still worth heading back for food ...Special Features:
- Good Mussels and BeerMKM11VIPDined on 4/30/2014Food was just OK, mussels very good, beer fresh. But the noise level was oppressively loud, even in the "quiet" back of the restaurant.Special Features:
- Beer and frat boysJudgyDined on 4/28/2014I thought the mussels were very large in size, which is usually a sign of lower quality and the wine list was not very good. Overall it was OK.
- Great Belgian ExperienceTellyDined on 4/17/2014Now that Markt has been downsized by Apple Corp, it was wonderful to find BXL East. Our visit was for lunch to meet with friends. The front was very bright, which was good for someone with poor night vision like my self. Our server was wonderfu - explained esoteric menu items and took good care of us. The mussels appetizer was delicious and plenty of food for 4 people. Remember to ask for bread for the broth. Our meals were very tasty and the pommes frites were delicious. If you like Belgian beer and food, you'll enjoy BXL EastSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bon BelgiumCaesarsallyDined on 4/13/2014The mussels and beer are to die for in this Belgium Pub! An extensive list of on tap and bottled beer. Well versed and pleasant staff. Great menu and well prepared cuisine. The endive appetizer was amazing. We had 4 different over-flowing pots of flavored mussels, my favorite being Thai with lemongrass. Can't wait to visit this fun, delucious pub again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for Belgians in New YorkMaartenDined on 4/8/2014Great to find belgian food in NY! A bit koud because there is also a bar in the restaurant but just good belgian food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brussels GemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/29/2014If you like mussels and beer, this place is a must!Special Features:
- Nice for small get togethersmaysterDined on 3/27/2014came here for co-workers lunch - portions were quite hearty - has a spaghetti bolognese which was surprisingly good to my surprise - looking forward to reordering that pasta when I return in another 2 weeks... croquettes were tasty (if you like a cheesey/buttery taste) - didn't taste any shrimp in the shrimp croquettes but still decent... there was a casual atmosphere but the noise level did increase substantially as the lunch crowd increased ... wait staff was quite pleasant and very responsive ... the price was quite reasonable considering midtown and the generous portions...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great wind-down spot!BarbDined on 3/12/2014This was the perfect place after a long, stressful day of work! We settled in for the best mussels, fries and beer in town and were relaxed within minutes! Great service, great food, great fun!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Belgian CafeGerryDined on 3/6/2014Great beer, nurgers and the best fries in the world. Half the place spoke French. It was fun, loud and tastey. great lunch, great service and great fellow customers. If you don't know what Belgian is, think Parisian but sweet and better fries! Be careful Belgian beer is 50% stronger Try the Moules ( and say it right, MOOL) Have the frites.Special Features:
- Always busy, never packedGrubesDined on 2/28/2014People are never quite sure what to expect when I give the option of a Belgian restaurant for lunch or dinner. The best description I give is French-influenced food and German-style beers, and that mix really intrigues people. The times that I've been, I've had the mussels three different ways (I highly recommend the Gran Mere), the steak sandwich and the Bouchee a la Reine (my favorite dish). I've also tried a number of beers on their constantly rotating drafts, and they never disappoint. I have never seen the restaurant quiet, but it is never difficult to carry on a conversation. The service is also superb, even when the restaurant is in the throes of the lunch or dinner rush. I would highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- UnimpressedJK24VIPDined on 2/12/2014It was loud, dark, our server was a bit ditzy and I don't believe the food was truly Belgium. I won't go back.Special Features:
- Delicious Belgian, day or night!scubaSteveDined on 2/8/2014I take everyone that I know here at some point. The food is consistently delicious -- my favorites are the pate, mussels, and the bolognese pasta -- the servers are wonderfully friendly, and the food is more than fairly priced. The brunch is bottomless on weekends (unlike at BXL Cafe on the west side!), with enough room to seat my group of 10!Special Features:
- good prix fixe mussels luncheatoutmaniacVIPDined on 1/21/2014felt like casual lunch in europe - bar up front with a small table area toward back. Small selection on prix fixe lunch menu - pate and mussels + beer was very tasty and good value. nice side street location away from the bustle of midtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and friendly staff.RockNRollBabyDined on 1/18/2014We went there Saturday evening fairly early as we were with two kids. We loved the food and so did they. We usually order for our kids from the normal menu (as most kids menu do not go further than nuggets and grilled cheese - and thank god this restaurant does not offer that). They had a nice pasta with lots of veggies. This place is on on our list for our at least go once when in NY.I would recommend this to a friend.

- It's all about the beer!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/21/2013Food was good, but the beer was what really stood out! They have a fantastic selection of Belgian beers. The house beer is a great choice. I got the meatloaf and my date good some sort of chicken pot pie type dish. Both were good. They were playing a good 70's rock music selection and the music wasn't so loud that you didn't have to shout which was a nice change as it seems the trend these days is to play music way too loud.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Big family brunch-friendly!KritiKareVIPDined on 12/8/2013We had a party of many people and one-year-olds. We were treated like family and did not feel that we were a burden with the need for extra space for strollers or multiple food requests. We left a mess and they were happy to clean up after us. This felt very nice to not worry about the floor or our spilled glasses- they made us feel at home and welcomed the whole time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great neighborhood gem!LaPeNYCDined on 11/30/2013Food was great, service was great ! Will definitely go back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Neighborhood FeelOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/25/2013BXL looked unassuming from the outside, but instantly felt down to earth and inviting as soon as we entered, all Belgian beer signs and posters, a little tight. The impressive draft beer selection offered most of the well-known Belgian beers and then some, with dozens more in bottles. The service seemed a little scattered (5 people ended up waiting our table), but was great overall. The house beer is recommended, and all the food (mushroom croquettes, steak tips, and mussels) was both delicious and hearty, without feeling heavy. We'll definitely go back when we're in the neighborhood, especially since it's a nice change of pace for an area with lots of corporate and take-away restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

|This was Jack's line but he let me bolt it, clean it, and do the FA. We were originally not using the holds to the left and it was much, much more difficult up top(with a really hard clip). We were saying 11+ at first. Jack's friend Patty then went up and said it was 5.12. Then we went up again and said it was 11c. This continued with her getting more flustered as she thought it was harder and we kept down rating it till it reached 11a. Since she was(is) a lawyer, we thought descending opinion was a perfect name...Using the holds on the left now makes it feel piss easy...

|This route is good fun, even though it gets no stars in the Southern California Sport Climbing Guide book. Totally worth doing. Feels like there is probably one .11a move on it (move at top to hidden hold); the rest is mid/low .10 range. Not as good as Candy O, but definitely worth doing for an .11 leader.

There's a lot of growing frustration. People who have been living at the apartment complex on 1930 Vinewood Lane on Pueblo's southside want to know when they can move back in.
"It's nervewracking," said Michelle Sandoval, "just sitting in a motel with nothing to do."
Close to a dozen families, including Sandoval's, had to spend the weekend away from home at a motel on Hudson Avenue and US 50. But not by choice. On Friday afternoon, 10 units were evacuated because of hazardous asbestos. Tenants told News 5 they were given 30 minutes to get out.
"There's a lot of family possessions in that apartment and we can't get to none of it." said Sandoval.
The complex is owned by Emerald Isle Lending. The manager of the complex says a pipe burst that occurred more than a week ago is the cause.
A crew was at the building Monday afternoon, collecting samples to see how widespread the problem is. The inspector says this is just the beginning of the process.
The inspector says its subject to change, but he believes it could take at least a week to clear the building before anyone can come back.
The samples are being analyzed. The results are expected to be ready Tuesday afternoon.

The cities of Papillion and La Vista are discussing two mergers that officials say are designed to save taxpayers money and build on the history of cooperation between the two communities.
Over the last 10 years, La Vista's population has increased 45 percent and calls for fire and EMS service have increased by 153 percent. In contrast, during that same period of time, despite an emphasis on recruitment efforts, the city said the number of volunteers has not followed suit.
In light of those statistics and in an effort to be proactive in planning for future needs, La Vista officials have examined multiple options for providing fire and EMS services to the community over the past several months, including:
Due to a great working relationship and their commitment to maintain a top-notch fire department, the city of La Vista reached out to the city of Papillion to discuss possibilities. As a result, it appears that continuing the discussions with the expectation of a joint solution is the most fiscally-responsible method of providing high-quality fire and EMS services.
On the table, the elimination of the La Vista Volunteer Fire Department and an expansion of the Papillion department made up entirely of paid firefighters. "While no one is happy about the prospect of losing the great tradition of volunteerism that La Vista has enjoyed, we have to do what is in the best interest of the residents of la vista," says La Vista Mayor Douglas Kindig, who says there simply aren't enough volunteers to adequately staff the department.
This is a difficult thing for the head of the La Vista Firefighters Association to hear. "When you put your heart and soul into something, that is disappointing," says La Vista firefighter Matt Rappley. "I think that we were surprised last night when the city came to us. We don't think that everything has been exhausted."
The people we talked to seemed receptive to a merger. "With the size of La Vista and Ralston just being next door and Papillion, combining the city services makes sense," says Paul Halverson of La Vista.
"If they can't find the personnel to go out a different direction and combine them," says Ardelle Halverson of La Vista. The study is expected to take four to six weeks to complete.
Not everyone shares the positive sentiments. Plenty are voicing their opinions online. "The city of La Vista needs to support their fabulous volunteers and look at other options, ones that will keep their departments open," wrote Toni.
If the merger takes place, La Vista's volunteer firefighters will be able to apply for positions on the expanded Papillion department. Because of civil service rules, those volunteers would not get preferential consideration if they do apply to Papillion.
The cities are also discussing other potential opportunities for cost savings related to public works facilities. Papillion has acquired land across the street from the La Vista Public Works facility and is planning the construction of a new public works complex. Officials said the cities will use Strategic Government Resources, Inc. to assist with an evaluation of opportunities for collaboration.

Walk of Blessings to draw attention to Alton Park needs
Well said, Harry. You want God to bless your work? Then you must WORK.
Students piling up debt with college loans
Astropig - I never said it was any sort of entitlement. I said it is becomming too expensive for the masses - ie, most people. Hence, you will see fewer people going to college and those people will tend to be from wealthier familes.
While I agree that frivolous spending habits of the me-centered society as a whole is driving this trend to an extent, so is the fact that UTC has increased tuition year after year by anywhere from 7-10%. It will soon be impossible for many to attend simply because they lack funds and don't want to be saddled with a 50k balance when they graduate with their degree in forrestry or some other such useless degree.
Students piling up debt with college loans
Wrong, student loans are NOT relative to salary. You can graduate from UTC with a BS in education and teach middle school and make LESS in a year than your student loan, or you can get your BSEE and make enough to cover yourself.
College is quickly becomming unaffordable for the masses as the class system slowly separates the upper class from the ever growing lower class and ever shrinking middle class. You will eventually see it revert to what it was many decades ago - only the rich go to college, the rest of us must squeek by as servants to the wealthy.

The NETGEAR WNR3500L Rangemax Wireless-N Gigabit Router with USB has been added to the Router and Wireless Charts.
The WNR3500L is a single-band Broadcom-based 802.11n router with WDS bridging / repeating, upload QoS, guest WLAN and USB drive sharing. Its main claim to fame is support for popular alternative firmware including DD-WRT, OpenWRT, Tomato and FreeWRT.
Its feature set is very similar to its most popular sibling, the WNDR3700. So refer to that review for a rundown of the 3500L's features.
The figure below shows the 3500L's internals. The design is physically different, but electronically very similar to the ASUS RT-N16. The ASUS, however, has upgradeable external antennas, while the 3500L's are internal and have no external connectors.
NETGEAR WNR3500L Internal view
The design is based around a Broadcom BCM4718A Intensi-fi XLR 802.11n Simultaneous Dual-Band (2.4/5 GHz) Router System-on-Chip. This chip combines the baseband, MAC, 533 MHz CPU and radio modules and includes the USB port support.
Although the BCM4718A has a 5 GHz radio, there is no 5 GHz circuitry to support it. So even if you load up any of the alternative firmwares, you won't get a dual band router.
The Gigabit WAN and four Gigabit LAN ports are supported by a Broadcom BCM53115 which provides a full 5 Gbps switching fabric and built-in QoS. My test to see whether the switch passed 4k jumbo frames showed that it did not.
64 MB of RAM and 8 MB of Flash round out the design. Note that the RT-N16U has 128 MB of RAM and 32 MB of flash by comparison and also runs DD-WRT.
Routing throughput running the latest NETGEAR V184.108.40.206_30.0.98NA firmware measured 256 Mbps WAN to LAN, 301 Mbps LAN to WAN and 302 Mbps with both directions running simultaneously. The IxChariot plot below shows nice steady routing speed.
WNR3500L routing throughput
Maximum Simultaneous Connections topped out at only 2045. But you'll probably be able to increase this by using alternative firmware.
Wireless performance was undistinguished, although a solid signal was obtained in our weakest signal test locations E and F in both 20 MHz and 40 MHz channel bandwidth mode.
The Wireless Performance Table below shows the 3500L compared to the ASUS RT-N16 and one of Cisco's routers that accepts alternative firmware, the WRT160NL. The overall winner is the ASUS, although the 3500L does best the other two products in some locations and modes.
WNR3500L wireless performance comparison
A scan of the chart above shows that the 3500L's best case throughput was only 67.9 Mbps (uplink, 40 MHz bandwidth, Location A). We were able, however, to get around 85 Mbps of total throughput when running simultaneous single up and downlink streams when using 40 MHz bandwidth mode.
Here are links to the IxChariot wireless test plots if you'd like to explore further:
- 2.4 GHz / 20 MHz downlink
- 2.4 GHz / 20 MHz uplink
- 2.4 GHz / 20 MHz up and downlink
- 2.4 GHz / 40 MHz downlink
- 2.4 GHz / 40 MHz uplink
- 2.4 GHz / 40 MHz up and downlink
The WNR3500L is Wi-Fi Certified and properly defaults to Auto 20/40 bandwidth mode. It also properly limits link rates to 54 Mbps when using WEP and WPA / TKIP wireless security. A Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) test using PIN mode successfully set up a WPA2 / AES connection.
Read about how the WNR3500L performs when flashed with DD-WRT.

I haven't been running this long, so the reliability score I gave is somewhat unfounded.
In my opinion the only major limitation this router has is the lack of dual-band radio. I wonder why Netgear did this....why use a chip that supports dual band and not take the time to utilize the capability? This didn't bother me too much though, I just wire-bridged my old WRT54GL, made that the B/G access point, and made the Netgear solely wireless N. Separate the channels as much as possible and you're good.
The NAT'd throughput is fairly future proof unless you're getting Google's new gigabit service (fat chance). I wonder what SOHO routers (if any) are going to be able to support that? Those customers may have to go professional grade to support those speeds.
Gigabit WAN & LAN (switch is full 5Gbps bandwidth)
Fast processor and lots of RAM give great throughput.
