When young Zita discovers a device that opens a portal to another place, and her best friend is abducted, she is compelled to set out on a strange journey from star to star in order to get back home.
Part of a series.
Let me get this out of the way: if you're not a "computer person," someone with more than a vague knowledge of computer networking technology, Brain Jack, by Brian Falkner, is probably not the book for you. If, however, you ARE such a person, Brain Jack will start off as the kind of thriller that you think you will love, but its ending, like so many other cyber-thrillers, feels rushed and absurd. Don't get me wrong--you'll enjoy reading it, but don't expect anything too deep from this book.
Sam is the generic hero of our story. He's 17; he's a computer prodigy; and he's going to save the country from itself. The world of Brain Jack is set only a few years into our future. Falkner does a good job of building a world that, initially, is entirely conceivable based on our present. Computer technology is even more prevalent, and its consequences all the more potent. Las Vegas has been the victim of a nuclear attack that has left it in ruins, and the rest of the country is decaying under strict martial conditions.
"Any memorable children's book will possess drama, vitality, vividness, possibly wit and humor, and its own dignity—that is, a deep respect for the child's quick and devastating perceptions. As for the story itself, it will convey a sense of complete inevitability, a feeling of rightness throughout the whole structure. This can only be attained by the writer's evoking the true aura of childhood through re-experiencing that emotional state he lived in as a child, a state composed of delight in the simplest, most secret, sometimes the oddest things, of sadnesses and fears and terrors one could not or would not explain, of a continuing wonder about much that seems drab and familiar to adults"
--Eleanor Cameron writing in The Green and Burning Tree: On the Writing and Enjoyment of Children's Books, pg. 14
Eleanor Cameron was capable of doing all these things, whether writing science fiction, fantasy or more everyday stories. She was a celebrated children's writer of the 1960s and 1970s and was known for her lyrical style and the honesty with which she told her tales. A mature reader of That Julia Redfern, featuring an aspiring young writer living in the 1910s Berkley, can easily find grown-up themes that are layered into the story and come to fruition in books about an older Julia, such as A Room Made of Windows.
"Sleep. And when you awake everything you know of the twentieth century will be gone from your mind. Tonight is January 21, 1882. There are no such things as automobiles, no planes, computers, television. 'Nuclear' appears in no dictionary. You have never heard the name Richard Nixon."
Did illustrator Si Morley really step out of his twentieth-century apartment one night -- right into the winter of 1882? The U.S. Government believed it, especially when Si returned with a portfolio of brand-new sketches and tintype photos of a world that no longer existed -- or did it?
Twenty-first century fourteen-year-old Kyle was hypnotized when humanity was upgraded to 1.0 and he, incompatible with the new technology, exposes its terrifying impact in a tape-recording found by the superhumans of the future.
My first thought upon reading the description of Daniel H. Wilson's Robopocalypse was "Terminator rip-off." But I kept thinking, "Robots and the apocalypse, two of my favorite things to read about in fiction." I'm not making that up. And really, anything after Terminator 2 in the franchise doesn't, in my mind, count. I've always wanted a lot more detail about how the robot uprising occurs and how people struggle in the coming war, especially people who are not John Connor. After reading Robopocalypse, I want to assure you that it is as far removed from Terminator lore as anything "robot apocalypse" could possibly be. If you're someone who likes to be frightened and enjoys books where the mundane is made decidedly strange, then you might enjoy Robopocalypse.
Divergent, by Veronica Roth, is an example of dystopian young adult fiction at its best! It takes place in a Chicago of the future--in a world that has been rebuilt after society collapsed. In an attempt to avoid the problems of the past, this new Chicago society is divided into five factions - Dauntless (bravery), Amity (friendship), Erudite (knowledge), Candor (truth), and Abnegation (selflessness). Each faction follows a strict code of conduct; each has its own ideals; and each has its own role in governing the new society. At the age of 16, every person throughout the city must go through a simulation designed to show him or her which faction would be most suitable to join.

Asheville Breweries
I understand there are a few breweries in the Asheville area. What beers are worth trying? Are any of them 'brewpubs' where you can sit and eat and drink what's made on premises? I've heard there's a place called Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company, but they don't actually brew anything.
There are several breweries and brewpubs in the Asheville area. The oldest is Highland Brewing who used to brew below Barleys Taproom on Biltmore across from Doc Chey's. Asheville Pizza and Brewing does brew their own beer (about 8 varieties of which Shiva IPA is probably the most popular) and their location at about 675 Merrimon Ave. in North Asheville serves a wide selection of pizza, sandwiches, salads etc. They also have another brewhouse on Coxe Ave. Jack of the Wood is downtown on Patton Ave. They make their on beer at a place on Buxton not far from there. They also have a pretty good selection of pub food. Two other breweries in the area are French Broad Brewing in the Biltmore Village area and Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain.
there are 2 beer tasting places I know of, one of which I have been to.
Asheville Brewing on Coxe Ave and the one I have been to(French Broad River Brewing) is close to Biltmore Village off of Fairview Road.
There is actually an Asheville Brews Cruise that takes you to 3 local breweries
This is a website that lists brewpubs in the south by state and city. The one in Sylva sounds interesting also.
Asheville is the beer capital of North Carolina. There are a few brewpubs, plus several excellent local breweries. I think one of the best right now is Pisgah Brewing.
The Brews Cruise would be a good way to get a survey of what's available.
re: Tom from Raleigh
I like the idea of the Brews Cruise. Gotta see if we have time for that. Thanks all!
so much great beer in asheville. Ditto to all the other posts. Another suggestion is Green man Ales. These are served at a pub downtown called "jack of the Wood", but you can goto the tasting room on Buxton ave. Downtown, they have a small bar there. Most of the local breweries are also willing to do tours if you call in advance.
re: bethd127
So, the Jack of the Woods tasting room is on Buxton Ave? Do you need a reservation or anything to go taste?
re: lavendula
We went to French Broad Brewing yesterday (very close to Biltmore Estate). They had awesome beer and live music. Seemed like they usually have live music, which makes this a nice place to drink a couple of beers. Unfortunately they don't have any food, but we got free pretzels. Highly recommended.
Asheville Pizza makes great beer! Try the shive and Red Light IPA's.
"Dirty Jacks" The local name for the Jack of the Wood brew pub is very cool -super local flavor and some really good people and beer to be found there.
Yes, us Asheville hounds don;t have to go thirsty for long ,no sir!
re: jbyoga
Thursday evenings Pisgah has open tastings where you can fill up Growlers and see the operation.
re: Spreadhead
Pisgah makes some fine beer. i bought a growler at the indy grocery store when i was up there last. good stuff. can't wait to go back and get a few more
Most recently I tried Asheville Brewing on Coxe Ave. They had a lunch buffet that wasn't too bad (pizza, salad, etc).
I tried the porter. It was really good. Fresh as can be, good balance. I even got to meet the brewer.

The expansion of the Mini family marches forward relentlessly, but while the range typically grows with more bodystyles, the latest addition stands to transcend configurations with a new engine.
Although it likely won't be offered Stateside, rumor has it that Mini is preparing to launch a new high-performance diesel engine at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. The cars fitted with it are reportedly set to carry the SD designation (combining the S from the top-spec gasoline engine with the D from the existing diesel).
Details have yet to be announced, but reports indicate it could be a 2.0-liter turbodiesel with 143 horsepower and as much as 225 lb-ft of torque. That torque number would emphatically surpass the torque figures produced by any of the existing Mini engines – even the JCW on overboost.

Remember the near-hysterical claims that Tennessee lawmakers were trying to disenfranchise minorities and the elderly when they enacted a law requiring voters to present photo identification at polling places?
Well, so far it seems the panic didn't pan out. State officials said that not even 50 of the 201,000 people who voted early in Tennessee's primary lacked appropriate ID. And in our area, "Neither the local NAACP nor local political parties reported any major run-ins over the new photo ID requirement" Tuesday, the Times Free Press reported. The story appeared to be the same around the state. And the few people who didn't have proper ID had the option to cast a provisional ballot and present ID later to have the ballot counted.
"Voter suppression"? "Disenfranchisement"? Hardly.
In fact, this mirrors results in states such as Georgia that passed ID laws without creating the predicted waves of disenfranchised voters.
What we don't know is how many people who might have voted fraudulently in Tennessee stayed away from the polls Tuesday because they knew the ID law would trip them up.
That's an issue with which opponents of the law have been unwilling to grapple. The law targets a type of fraud that can be extremely hard to head off. It keeps someone from presenting himself to poll workers as someone other than who he is and voting under the name of that person -- who may have moved to another state without notifying election officials or who may even have died.
Dismissing such fraud as virtually nonexistent just because there are few "documented" cases of it is illogical. Without photo ID, a poll worker would have to know the person whose identity is being misused by someone else in order to stop it. It does not lend itself to detection, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So efforts to prevent it are reasonable.
Total turnout was under 600,000 people, and you don't realize how it's not representative of anything to do with your much vaunted law?
More people turned out for the Gubernatorial primary in 2010, it's closer to the number of people who voted for the losing candidate in that election. Do you really think there were 100,000 fraudsters deterred from going to the polls?
More importantly, I think your priorities are skewed, you're not even realizing the lack of genuine representation of the electorate at all!
Participation was minimal. That is what you should be worried about, not your phantom of fraud.
"Photo ID law fails to produce hysterically predicted disenfranchisement"
Yes, but it will not stop the kooks from crying about having to obey the law.
It's not about obeying the law, it's about the existence of the law.
The only effect it serves is disenfranchisement, as the real threat to the integrity of the electorate is systemic compromise, both from a corrupted administration and from non-participation.
HWNB, How could a responsible adult possibly be disenfranchised by this law? Doesn't everyone have an id? How do you get a job without an ID? You can't open a bank account without one or even go to college, cash a check or buy alcohol or tobacco. Who is left to disenfranchise? Your premise is riddiculous. Your argument is completely unsupported by facts.
"What we don't know is how many people who might have voted fraudulently in Tennessee stayed away from the polls Tuesday because they knew the ID law would trip them up."
The other thing we don't know is how many people didn't have the resources or a half or full day to devote to a trip to DMV, and perhaps concluded that no matter what they do, the system will always be rigged against them.
I was almost stopped from voting during early voting at the Hamilton County Election Commission. They could not find my voter registration in their database.
I am a former military officer of the state. I vote regularly.
When I voted in the 2012 presidential elections at that same polling place, election commission workers insisted on using my driver's license to verify my identity. This time, when I went to vote during early voting at the same place, that same driver's license could not be effectively used to verify my voter's registration.
Failed search terms included: variations on spelling my last name, my address, and my social security number. During previous voting sessions, I had been able to vote when all of those kinds of searches were easily verified.
They could find some of my deceased relatives' voter registrations, but not mine. It looked for a moment there like they were not going to be able to find me in the computer database.
I have an unusually spelled name.
Fortunately, my voter's registration was verified by someone else who worked at the election commission who knew me personally.
I served the state as a military officer for several years. That's the treatment I got: courteous and well-meaning, but flawed. I don't think the employees were trying to cause trouble, but I did see that the system is not perfect.
Even if one person runs into trouble while trying to vote, it makes the voter feel upset. In my case, the issue was resolved because someone remembered who I was and was able to refine the search accordingly.
We have millions of voters in our state; with a population of six million plus, it's likely that we'll have at least two million voters, maybe more. The idea that the Photo ID law is going to go smoothly, without any disenfranchisement, is not a realistic assessment of the situation. There will be problems at almost every polling place solely because of the massive numbers of times the searches will need to be conducted: at least one search per voter. In my case, it took about ten; only after I was personally recognized did the computer search go well.
While I don't consider this incident a major problem, I think that the editorial fails to consider what a realistic assessment of the voting process looks like. Of course there will be problems. Handling those problems to allow proper voting while preventing unnecessary denials is part of the reason why we employ election officials.
I know a person whose name had already been checked off as having voted. I expect voter fraud is either perpetrated by poll workers or simply innocent goofs (as in this case). Given our dismal turnouts, I'd rather we err on the side of inclusive rather than exclusive.
FlyingPurpleSheepleEater, actually, it's the argument by the people alleging electoral fraud that doesn't add up. It's lacking in substance to justify the actual burden being imposed. That's the premise that is ridiculous. The facts show that this problem is inconsequential at best. Such voter fraud is so rare as to not even merit as much concern as a ballot miscount. (BTW, I looked up the previous primary in 2008, it had about the same participation as the 2012 one, which if you're going to complain about something, why not complain how barely over half a million people voted? Does nobody care about that?? I certainly don't think it kept any dedicated fraudsters away from the poll, they certainly had the time to make some acquire some fake ID.)
Still, I wouldn't have a problem with this law IF my conditions were met. I've stated them before, the state must proactively seek to provide ID. It doesn't. Why not? The excuse I get is that it's too expensive for some reason. As if their own efforts weren't costing money already with little, if any return.
But yes, I can imagine not having Photo ID even in this day and age. Not everybody buys tobacco or alcohol, even those who do, don't necessarily get carded. It may be stated policy, but reality is they don't look all the time. Many people have bank accounts they got before they were asked for ID, and now, you don't have to go into the bank for ANYTHING. ATMs and Electronic banking easily handle the common operations. And of course, there are some people who don't even use Banks. Which leads to working, yes, there are people who work entirely for cash, without getting into the system, for various reasons. Or who just work for relatives who hardly need Photo ID.
But there's another flaw to your argument...not all ID is considered suitable for electoral purposes, even if it's valid for the others. So your protests that one couldn't live life don't add up either in substance or detail.
Still, if you're going to MAKE the state provide valid Photo ID, I can live with it being required. Let me know when that happens.
They were giving the IDs away for free. NO COST. All someone had to do is show up with a birth certificate or some other document that proves they are who they say they are. If someone wants to vote they have to take the time to go to the polling place and possibly wait in line just as they would at the DMV. Your arguments that the requirements are overly burdensome are weak at best. Much ado about nothing.
joneses, worked how? The turnout was arguably unchanged (like half a percent difference downwards), and that certainly wouldn't impact the outcome given the margins.
Please tell me when you have evidence of accomplishing something other than just your fantasies.
FlyingPurpleSheepleEater, the ID was free? Great, but did I say anything about the price of getting it? No, I was not talking about that, though the lack of a charge from the state means nothing to the cost of traveling to get the ID, to get the other documents you need,. But if you look closely, I said nothing about cost except the objections people made to making it the burden on the state, which I consider tenuous since it's not like the programs that have been implemented are of no cost.
And actually, there have been lawsuits over excessive lines at polling places. Have you never heard of them? Do you not know why Early voting exists? Or even no-cause Absentee Ballots? Your rationale to excuse the problem fails, because none of it matches my concerns, and your defense of a line at the polling precinct is actually valid grounds for legal action.
Try at least sticking to what I'm saying, not what you think is my objection, and really, don't try a defense that actually shows another problem that does have to be solved. My reasons for requiring proactive behavior from the state are based on the principle of the state being required to meet a burden to restrict the citizens from a civic right. Cost of acquiring the ID is the least of it.
Some of your concerns seem to contradict your other concerns. You claim it is overly burdensome to travel to the dmv to get the ID and yet the voter would have to travel to vote. I don't consider traveling to vote or acquire an ID overly burdensome since it is unavoidable. Your arguments are circular and riddiculous. These people that you claim are being disenfranchised seem to be impossible. Who are these disenfranchised souls with no money, transportation or legal identification? How would they ever get anywhere to get food, clothing, medicine or anything else? Carta even has a free shuttle for the poor that goes to the persons house and picks them up.
Much ado about nothing.
FlyingPurpleSheepleEater, your contradictions are based on fabricated ideas of what I support instead of actual knowledge of it. Instead of assuming there's something going on, why don't you ask me some questions instead of making up the answers. There's a reason why I support absentee ballots being available on demand, and why I endorse the electoral system of Oregon where all ballots are cast by mail. Wait, wait, that means they are avoiding traveling to vote! Unless you count going to their mailbox as traveling, which...yeah, I don't buy that. And can you imagine how photo ID would work in Oregon? It wouldn't!
Your protests are frivolous and based not on anything I've said, but your own tortured imagined justifications that you're using to defend this law instead of you know, actually confront the ineffectiveness and pointlessness of it.
But if you want to find some people who were put in a bad position by this law, you could have read the paper and found out about them. They were named.
BTW, CARTA is just Chattanooga, don't forget there's a whole state out there, of which apparently you care nothing. Are you sure they're also being served adequately to ensure their voting is accessible or not?
Or you can keep trying to sell this phony law that solves no significant problem, and keep trying to ignore my reasonable request, while you keep putting up phony barriers that have only exist in your imagination, not in me.
The more you do that, the more I know this law is a fraud.
I guess there is no getting past your ignorance. I will post one final thing on this. If voting isn't important enough to someone to go through the trouble of acquiring a valid ID, I wouldn't want them voting anyway. In a free society, there will always be winners and losers, rich and poor and strong and weak. The real world is full of contrasts and imbalances. If a free man wants to vote, he will comply with the laws that govern voting even if it inconveniences him. I was inconvenienced tues morning when I was late to work because of voting and I still count it as not only a right, but a priviledge. At least I know my vote will be less likely to be cancelled out by some worthless criminal working for acorn or some other marxist organization.
FPSE, you're the one who is ignorant, not me. Your beliefs are backwards. Voting is not something you earn, but something that the government provides to earn its own right to sovereignty. Voting is important enough to NOT deny it to somebody for specious reasons that serve no purpose, but instead for EVERY possible effort being made to get it.
When voting is treated as something earned, it becomes a tool for abuse of those who aren't believed to be deserving.
Your opinion on who you don't want voting is representative of that. Voting as a privilege, as something selective, where you seek out only those who you think deserve it...has been abused, and is exactly why suffrage must be universal, and every effort made to make sure everybody's vote is counted.
And what's worse is you don't even realize that the criminal is likely the one behind the election, not the organizations which you have been indoctrinated to believe are engaging in some massive conspiracy to defraud the voting system when no such thing was happening at all.
Ignorance is your problem, not mine. But there's still people alive today who remember when their vote was kept from them, or when the system was exploited to weaken their votes. Baker v. Carr was decided in living memory. And the 24th Amendment was passed because of abuses in the system.
The inconsequential fraud you're worried about? Pales in comparison to the real effects of systemic compromise that you could find about, from the people who saw it happen.
Cure your own ignorance. Find out the real danger. Or does your belief about being among the elite and deserving make you think they never will threaten you?

network with Vista and Windows 7 Starter
I have a Dell laptop running Vista and just purchased a netbook with Windows 7 starter. I want to share files between the two, however, I cannot see the other computer on the Network Map. Both computers are on the same network with same Workgroup name. I have both set as "Turn on network discovery", "Turn on file and printer sharing", "Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in the Public folders".
Please let me know what I have missed. Shouldn't I be able to see both computers on the network at the same time even though they are running different version of Windows? I don't want to pay anymore to upgrade. Please help!

Eastern Alloys,
die casting,
Ryan Winter,

CANCUN, Mexico The North American die casting market is starting to see signs that demand is swinging back in its favor and away from its competitors in China, according to an executive at Eastern Alloys Inc.
The transition of business is in part the result of changes in the exchange rate between the dollar and the yuan, Ryan Winter, manager of customer engineered services at the Maybrook, N.Y.-headquartered company, told AMM. "The exchange rate had in the past been hitting die casters ability to function and compete with China, but today theres parity between the two countries in terms of cost."
He said customers are winning business away from their counterparts in China, and studies show that Chinese parts now cost more than in the United States.
The growth in Chinas infrastructure and automotive sectors, two key consumption areas for die casting, means that the country is also focusing its attention more on its domestic market instead of exporting to North America, Winter said.
The North American die casting market, meanwhile, is starting to recover from the downturn of the past several years. "The number of die casting facilities in North America has been on the slide since the 1960s as smaller companiesmom-and-pop shopswere being bought out, went out of business or consolidated, which is typical for a mature (market)," he said at the International Zinc Association conference in Cancun. "But the level of shipments over the same period has continued to rise."
Aluminum accounts for around 54 percent of die casting in the United States, while zinc represents about 38 percent and magnesium only 8 percent, Winter said. Die casting accounts for around 16 percent of total zinc consumption.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We actually don't know who his investors are. At the point when we are ready, we will investigate further. There are just so many things to handle and there are a lot of items to be considered with the project."
-- Charles C. Mitchell, Barstow city manager

About Mike
We love Central Florida and we love Walt Disney World.
Mike purchased this villa in 2010
Why Mike chose Highgate Park
After searching high and low for the right place, we finally found what would become Disney Fun Villa. While it's very close to everything, it's also away from the hustle and bustle of the typical tourist area.
We looked at several communities, but found the peaceful tranquility of Highgate Park to be quite appealing. Its gates and walls keep it secure and private, while its common areas are beautifully manicured and kept to the highest standards.
We looked at several houses in Highgate Park, but found the way this house is laid out to be the most convenient and private. The floor plan of this single-story house is brilliant with bedrooms on one side and living areas on the other.
What makes this villa unique
Disney Fun Villa is designed with you in mind. We keep it updated, upgraded, and maintained to the highest standard. Welcome Home!
Guestbook comments from the owner

1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
6 ounces
semisweet chocolate (such as Baker's®), chopped
2 tablespoons
A very easy and testy recipe. I used high quality bittersweet chocolate chips and it was just right in terms of sweetness. Served this over homemade vanilla and mint oreo ice cream. Rave reviews from my tasters.
Definitely easy and quick, but I didn't find it to taste anything like a traditional hot fudge sauce. It was more like a pan of fudge that hadn't yet set. Not something I'd make again as-written. (I might try adding some raspberries to this batch to try to salvage it as a sauce.)
16 Ratings
Absolutely loved this recipe. SO quick, SO easy and SO delicious! Note: 1 cup chocolate chips = 6 oz. chocolate squares.
Nice smooth sauce, consistancy was perfect--VERY sweet. I want to try this again with unsweetened chocolate, then re-review.
This is perfect if you make and chill then use in other recipes, like putting a layer of the fudge between peanut butter cookie dough and baking as a bar. YUM!!
Very easy and delicious recipe! I've tried other more complicated recipes in the past but needed something quick for last minute ice cream sundaes. This went over very well with my guests and I will certainly be making it again. I did find with the recommended amount of semisweet chocolate it was a little too sweet and not quite chocolatey enough so I added some unsweetened cocoa powder to balance it out. I also found out with leftover fudge sauce it is great in coffee for a mocha treat.
Delicious. I use it in "Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Frosting" from this website. I also put it in my coffee!
I cannot believe how good and easy this was. It took minutes to make. The only change I made was to add a tiny bit of vanilla extract. I gave my dad a little bowl with this recipe and a little bowl of Smucker's (without telling him which was which) and he greatly and immediately preferred this one.
I said, "wow, if I knew how easy this stuff was to make..." ... And Daddy chimed in and said, "You'd be 10 lbs heavier?"

One or Plates or 42 or other suggestion for special dinner?
Our anniversary is coming up this month, and I'd like to go somewhere special in Westchester that I haven't been to before. Right now, I'm thinking maybe One in Irvington, Plates in Larchmont or 42. I know there's an active thread on 42 now, but any recent opinions on the others? Any other suggestions? Ambiance is important, but the quality of the food is more important. I know people automatically offer X20 as "the" occasion restaurant, but though I really like it, I've been there several times and want to try a restaurant that is new to me. And Blue Hill doesn't really appeal for some reason. Any thoughts would be welcome.
re: dolores
Where and what type of place is Plates?
re: nbermas
Eclectic American cuisine, on Myrtle Blvd. in Larchmont:
re: wincountrygirl
I do too, wincountrygirl. Since The Arch went downhill and Harrald's closed, my choice of outstanding/special occasion restaurants (and especially those with everything, like Harrald's had) in Westchester and beyond is severely limited.
re: dolores
dolores, I loved Harralds! Does restaurant x have that old world charm and personal touch like Harralds had? I have not been to X but would be willing to give it a try if you all like it and it compares to the old Arch and Harralds. What in particular is it that gives x the high marks?
re: xecuchef
xecuchef, it was a sad day when Harrald's decided to leave the restaurant business. The man (and his wife and staff) were amazing.
Restaurant X has ambience, realllllly nice ambience. I went there for brunch, I still haven't made it to dinner. The service was impeccable and the food I had was delicious. I think one of the choices was lamb chops - I didn't have them but they were pronounced delicious. Sorry, I cannot remember what I had.
Also, the champagne was unlimited. The only complaint I had was the amount of the desserts. While they might have been enough (there was a finite number for the table) for a normal person, I am not 'normal' when it comes to dessert.
On your question, no Restaurant X does not have the personal touches or old world charm that Harrald's had, but I can't say I've found another place that does. The Iron Forge Inn in Warwick (haven't gotten there) is supposed to be similar, have you been?
I would recommend Rest. X, xecuchef.
re: dolores
How about Buffet De LaGare. Original owners took the place back and did some refurbishing..
re: dolores
Thanks dolores. No I have not been to The Iron forge, actually never even heard of it so I'll take a look. It is sad to say but I don't think there will ever be a place quite like Harralds. Hard to find a place with so much love and pride put into a restaurant and boy did it show. I'll keep searching. Maybe one day we will find it. It's too bad but my hopes are not high.
re: byramgirl
I'll be at Restaurant X the week before for a brunch celebration, so I think it will be too soon to go back for my anniversary dinner. I think I'll give Plates a try.
I've been to all the restaurants talked about here, and I have to go with Plates. I feel the setting really fits with the food, I remember having a very nice evening and the price isn't a killer. I wish I could remember the wine I had, a very small produce, that I remember.
I also think highly of Plates. Have been twice and enjoyed it both times. It's a smaller, more personal-style (personal to Chef Karp, who is quite talented) restaurant that is comfortable, not fancy or fussy.
I have not tried 42 (although MH Reed gave it an "excellent" this past weekend, which is very rare for her), but have been to One once and Plates numerous times. I wasn't that impressed with One. Plates is special occasion, without being too fussy. And the food is really first rate. Make sure you ask for one of the tables on the left (as you face the restaurant area from the bar). The right hand side is all booths, very tight quarters.
We ended up going to Plates for our anniversary dinner and we really enjoyed it. Thank you to all who recommended it. The atmosphere was lovely and cozy, the service was gracious and the food was excellent. Interesting wine list, too.
I started out with the grilled calamari, which was served chilled and stuffed with rice and chorizo (very good) and my husband had the charcuterie platter. He loved the mini rubin served with it. For entrees I had the scallops served with corn puree, green and wax beans and thinly sliced potatoes. It was a very generous serving-- the scallops were moist and sweet and the flavor combinations were delicious. My husband had the roasted chicken breast, served with risotto and roasted butternut squash and some other things that I forget. We were too stuffed for dessert, but they brought some freshly baked cookies with our coffee. And best of all, the meal was nicely paced and we enjoyed a pleasant, leisurely anniversary dinner.
I don't know why I haven't been there before, living so close, but we will definitely return. Plates and Meritage rank as my two favorite finds this year.
re: Shawn
Glad you liked it. Glad it is still top notch, since when we were there one of the managers (owners?) told us he was leaving the next day for NYC.
If you like it as much as Meritage, then it is as it was when I was there. Excellent, I have a whole five places now on my 'outstanding' list!
re: dolores
Dolores, try Iron Horse in Pleasantville
re: martyl9
Thanks, marty. I had them on my 'must try' list, but crossed them off due to some negative words here. Have you been lately, are they still very good?
re: dolores
I usually go any where from three to six weeks between visits. Usually at the last minute where by we are able to get to table in the bar. seats four to five. the restaurant has two seatings, usually. the three course price fix is about $50; don't recall from our last visit. wine list is very reasonable and the corkage charge is minimal, $15. the food is good to excellent. you should try. we are going to Plate's tonight. will report back.

Tensions between the states of Pakistan and India are increasing as the Indian government officially demanded that the Pakistani government arrest and turn over a list of 20 of its citizens who they believe were connected to the Mumbai Massacre. No one has officially accused the Pakistani government or army in the terrorist attack, but the lone surviving terrorist is Pakistani and admitted that he was a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist group based in Pakistan that has strong links to previous terrorist attacks in the Kashmir region.
It also appears that all ten of the Mumbai attackers were from Pakistan and the Indian police recently reported that all of the attackers came on boats, a further link to Pakistan. In an earlier post, I mentioned that Pakistan's government was to send their top ISI intelligence official to India to help with the investigation and show cooperation, but sadly this has not been followed through.
For India, these days immediately following an attack which many average citizens and high officials regard as a major breach of their sovereignty and security, will be looked on microscopically by all the world's actors. What approach will they take to combat future terrorism? How will they attempt to bring to justice those responsible for this attack? Will they use this incident as a way to push Pakistan into making concessions?
Here are two interesting analytical pieces about the massacre and its consequences, one by Robert Kagan, the other by Christopher Hitchens.
Tonight, I will discuss Obama's new national security cabinet.

per year from designated industrial and other sources. The air toxic provisions represented a major expansion in the number of air pollutant species of regulatory concern. Emissions from fossil-fueled power plants, however, were exempted from the provision of the amendments, pending further study by EPA. Extensive efforts currently are under way to characterize trace species emissions from coal-fired power plants as a basis for federal decisionmaking expected in late 1995 or soon thereafter. Air toxics concerns for utilities center primarily around 10 to 20 trace substances commonly found in coal, including arsenic, mercury, selenium, nickel, cadmium, and other heavy metals. The basis for regulating these species under the air toxics provisions would be a finding by EPA of an unacceptable health risk or an ecological risk to one or more regions of the country named in the 1990 CAAAs (Zeugin, 1992).
Individual states, however, could regulate on other grounds. Some states such as Wisconsin already are considering trace emission limitations for coal-burning plants based on trace substance concentrations in coal.1 The Electric Power Research Institute has compiled an extensive database of published information on trace substances, including extensive characterizations of U.S. coals. The data for bituminous, subbituminous, and lignite coals show large variability, often an order of magnitude or more, in trace species concentrations (Rubin et al., 1993). Detailed trace species data at the mine and seam levels, however, are not generally available, though a number of U.S. coal companies do possess proprietary information of that type. EPRI and DOE currently are conducting extensive testing programs to characterize trace species emissions from conventional and advanced power plants.
Of all the environmental issues facing the future use of coal, none is as potentially far reaching as the worldwide concern over global climate change. For coal, emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from combustion and methane from coal mining are the two greenhouse gases of primary concern. While it is likely to be at least a decade or more before the magnitude and consequences of global warming can be measured or predicted with reasonable scientific certainty, international concern over the potential effects of global warming has prompted recommendations and policy measures to curtail the growth in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily CO2 (e.g., NRC, 1992). As a result of the 1992 United Nations Conference on the Environment, the United States is signatory to an international accord to limit CO2 emissions to 1990 levels by the turn of the century. Recently, the Clinton administration put forth a program of largely voluntary measures to achieve that objective (Clinton and Gore, 1993).

Easier and Cheaper to Start a Company? Current Influences on the Startup Ecosystem
// Zack Mansfield
February 5, 2014 - The notion that it is cheaper and easier than ever to start a company is a widely accepted trend shaping the startup ecosystem. This is true for a variety of reasons.
February 5, 2014 - Venture capital isn't the only funding option for startups. Vice President Andy Weyer explores the different types of debt financing that venture banks provide to growing technology and life sciences companies throughout their life cycle.
February 5, 2014 - The 10 year time horizon of the US Venture Capital Index ® by Cambridge Associates LLC continued its improvement in Q3 2013 to 8.58%, approximately one point higher than the three major public indices. While shorter-term performance slightly lags the public indices, longer-term performance significantly exceeds the public markets. As expected, the Late Stage US Venture Capital Index outperforms the Early Stage Index in the shorter hold periods, while the Early Stage Index outperforms over the longer time horizons.
January 22, 2014 - In Q4 2013, 49 US venture capital funds raised $4.9B. While this was the strongest quarter by dollars raised since Q3 2012, 2013 was the weakest annual fundraising period since 2010. Number of funds raised fell 11% from 2012, while dollars raised fell 15%. Average fund size also dropped 4% to $90MM.
January 22, 2014 - In Q4 2013, there were 81 venture backed M&A transactions with $5.3B in disclosed deal value. While disclosed deal value increased this quarter, the number of transactions and total disclosed deal value are down 23% and 35%, respectively, over 2012. However, disclosed deal value is highly dependent on the mix of M&A deals disclosed and the number of deals disclosed is similarly down 31% from 2012.
January 22, 2014 - With the calendar turned to a new year, we eagerly gaze to the opportunities of 2014 and what lies ahead for the fixed income markets. On the whole, there is consensus that this new year will see higher interest rates across the spectrum as the US economy expands more rapidly, the Federal Reserve tapers its asset purchase program and investors seek higher returns in other asset classes. However, exactly how much higher interest rates will be at year end is quite uncertain; below we share our thoughts on why the US economy will continue to perform well and how the Fed will handle raising the Federal Funds rate.

EECS News Fall 2014
Lars Rohrbach, Manager of the Infrastructure Development and Support Group (IDSG), is the winner of the 2014 Wil Zeilinger Staff Excellence Award. The Zeilinger Award honors a staff member of the EECS department or ERSO who exemplifies a spirit of service cheerfully given for the general good.
Laura Waller is among a few highly talented researchers who have been selected to each receive $1.5 million over the next five years from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, as part of the foundation's Data-Driven Discovery Initiative. This initiative is committed to enabling new types of scientific breakthroughs by supporting interdisciplinary, data-driven researchers. Prof. Waller's research involves simultaneous design of optical systems and computational algorithms for creating microscopes that employ simple hardware, yet achieve contrast modes not otherwise possible.
The National Institutes of Health announced its first research grants through President Barack Obama's BRAIN Initiative, including three awards to the University of California, Berkeley, totaling nearly $7.2 million over three years. These initial awards are part of a 12-year scientific plan focused on developing the tools and technologies needed to make the next leap in understanding the brain. Michel Maharbiz' proposal on the use of ultrasound to create 'waveguides' that can steer light below the surface of the cortex, stimulating photoswitches that enable the study of neurotransmitters and was chosen with 5 other proposals.

The EECS Department is proud to congratulate three outstanding Masters students - Matthew Fong (5th Year MS), Henry Lu (5th Year MS), and Johanna Ye (M.Eng.) on joining the class of 2015 Siebel Scholars. The Siebel Scholars program was established by the Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation in 2000 to recognize the most talented students at the world's leading graduate schools of business, computer science, and bioengineering. All UC Berkeley scholars were honored at a lunch with Tom Siebel and the Dean of the College of Engineering, Shankar Sastry.
Martin Wainwright has been awarded the COPSS (Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies) Presidents' Award, at the Joint Statistical Meetings earlier this month. This award is considered to be the Nobel Prize of Statistics, a most prestigious award for young researchers in Statistics. More>>
Dan Garcia was interviewed for an article in the Center for Digital Education online publication titled " California Shores up Support for Computer Science Education". Lawmakers and educators are taking steps to make computer science now count toward high school graduation requirements for math and science.

I am a Postdoc/Lecturer at the University of Washington Information School and a Research Associate at the University of Michigan Libraries. My primary research interests include the social dynamics of digital information transitions, the future of scholarly communication, and information policy.
I recently moved back to Seattle to take up a position as a postdoc at the UW Information School, where I will continue to pursue my own research agenda while teaching courses in LIS and Informatics. Prior to this, I spent two years in Ann Arbor, Michigan, developing a program of research centered on the future of scholarly communication in the digital world in collaboration with now-emeritus UM Dean of Libraries Paul Courant; that work remains ongoing.
One recent focus of my research (with Dr. Courant) has been debunking the persistent myth that the "serials crisis" of the early 1990s bears central responsibility for the declining fate of university presses, as rising serials prices crowded out monographic purchasing by academic libraries. A brief presentation of some of this work can be found elsewhere on this site, and a more comprehensive paper on the topic has recently been published in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing.
I defended my dissertation, Constructing the Universal Library, at the University of Washington Information School in May 2014. In that work, I compared the motivations, internal self-definitions, and initial implementations of four large-scale attempts to democratize access to book-based information, two historical and two contemporary, namely:
- The Boston Public Library (1848-1865),
- The Carnegie Library program (1881-1899),
- The Google Books Library Project (2004-2013), and
- The Open Content Alliance (2005-2013).
An abstract and table of contents for the dissertation is available here.
If you want to know more about me professionally, here's my CV (PDF here).
Outside of work, I am an avid consumer of pop culture, I love to cook, bake, knit, and build things, and when I first moved to Washington, I got the hiking bug in a big way: in fact, in 2008, I climbed Mt. Rainier (though the photo at left is on Mt. Adams).
Oh, and the usual disclaimer: the thoughts and opinions expressed on this site are solely my own, and do not represent those of any of my employers or other institutions with which I am or have been affiliated. Also: nothing on these pages should be construed as legal advice.

SNL Takes Pumpkin Spice Marketing Craze to Disturbingly Hilarious New Level
As a lifelong New Englander, I am a self-proclaimed sucker for all things autumn — I know it's an evil marketing ploy that gets me to shell out my hard-earned cash for "limited time" treats like pumpkin spice tea and apple cinnamon candles, but something in my Massachsuetts blood overrides my cynicism and makes me unable to resist the nearly maniacal joy I get from celebrating my favorite season.
And I'm not alone — remember when the whole world came to a screeching halt last fall when many Starbucks locations ran out of the syrup that allows them to make Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Pandemonium, I tell you!
Now, SNL has taken the pumpkin spice craze to its inevitably horrific precipice, melding the autumnal marketing madness with the equally ridiculous (but far less awesome) marketing of feminine hygiene products. Yep, it's exactly as bad as you think it is. This is one "warm and spicy" product I'd have no trouble resisting…
