text: Florida Lawmakers Asked to Regulate 'Crazy' Backyard Gun Ranges Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 18 Feb 2014 post a comment Amid increasing stories of shooting ranges in the backyards of South Floridians, lawmakers are being urged to intervene and regulate practice and safety measures, the types of backstops used, and how far such ranges must be from schools or playgrounds. Current law makes clear that private ranges "are permissible as long as the gunfire is not negligent or reckless." The problem to date, according to Fox News, is that no one is certain that a reckless shooter has set up a range. On January 28, Breitbart Sports reported an actual backyard range in Big Pine Key, Florida. The range sits in Doug Varrieur's backyard, and he holds "Gun Day" every Wednesday from 3 to 4 PM. He calls the police before "Gun Day" starts to let them know they will hear shots during that time. No one has been shot or wounded at Varrieur's "Gun Day," but this is the kind of activity some Florida lawmakers want to regulate--or stop altogether. Hollywood Commissioner Patricia Asseff called backyard shooting ranges "a crazy thing," adding, "If some bullet goes flying through the hedges, somebody could get killed. We're not the wild wild west here." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.

The monster remake's early haul tops that of "Amazing Spider-Man 2"
"Godzilla" has begun its box office rampage with a powerful $9.3 million haul from Thursday night showings.
The remake of the iconic monster movie, a co-production of Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., got an early start with shows that began at 7 p.m. in roughly 3,000 theaters. As of Friday, it will be in 3,952 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, and will roll out in 64 foreign markets as well this weekend.
The Thursday night total for "Godzilla" is higher than that of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," which took in $8.7 million earlier this month as it headed to a $91 million three-day debut. And it isn't far off the $10.2 million that "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" put up on its way to a $95 million opening weekend in April. The opening was the year's biggest.
Also read: 'Godzilla' May Stomp to Biggest Monster Movie Opening Ever
Analysts predict a three-day total take in the $65 million-$70 million range for "Godzilla," and expect the Gareth Edwards-directed 3D epic to easily displace last week's No. 1 film, "Neighbors." The weekend's other wide opener, Disney's Jon Hamm baseball movie "Million Dollar Arm," will be in 3,019 theaters and is expected to debut in the $10 million range.
Bryan Cranston, Aaron Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, David Strathairn and Ken Watanabe star in "Godzilla," which is off to a fast start overseas. It's already opened No. 1 in seven foreign territories, including France.

Indeck Helps Plants Meet Boiler MACT
To assist plant managers, engineers and owners meet the EPA's boiler maximum achievable control technology (MACT) compliance, Indeck is launching a new program that provides industrial boiler engineering studies.
The EPA's MACT, published in the Federal Register in December 2012, imposes stringent emission limits and monitoring requirements for industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers.
Indeck says its engineers can help plants meet MACT compliance requirements and provide consultations to:
- Assess how the new rules apply to boilers;
- Identify emissions currently to evaluate possible compliance to the new limits;
- Advise whether equipment replacement, retrofits or alternative technology would be the best solution for a facility's successful compliance;
- Develop a recommendation to assist compliance and/or show "good faith" to the EPA to help avoid risk of loss of extension.

Braising green beans is a time-honored technique. Here, the tender beans are also infused with wonderful garlic flavor. The long cooking time robs the beans of some of their bright emerald color, but they taste so good that it hardly matters!
Place the oil and garlic in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Heat over medium-low heat to gently warm the oil and cook the garlic. Watch carefully, because the garlic can burn very quickly!
Add the green beans, 1/2 tablespoon of salt and enough water to almost cover the beans. Cover and cook at a slow simmer until the beans are soft and tender, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and freshness of your beans.
Drain the beans and toss with half of the lemon juice and the dill. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper, adding more lemon juice, if desired. Serve hot.

Minesweeper? Free Cell?
Why'd they stop bundling a Pinball game with Windows?
13/11/2013 at 22:58 Don Reba says:
The pinball game was lost in transition to 64 bits. Here is the story.
The 64-bit version of Pinball had a pretty nasty bug where the ball would simply pass through other objects like a ghost. In particular, when you started the game, the ball would be delivered to the launcher, and then it would slowly fall towards the bottom of the screen, through the plunger, and out the bottom of the table.
Games tended to be really short.
Two of us tried to debug the program to figure out what was going on, but given that this was code written several years earlier by an outside company, and that nobody at Microsoft ever understood how the code worked (much less still understood it), and that most of the code was completely uncommented, we simply couldn't figure out why the collision detector was not working. Heck, we couldn't even find the collision detector!
13/11/2013 at 23:06 LionsPhil says:
What I don't get is why they would have to do that, given Pinball was a 32-bit executable, and those still run under 64-bit Windows (even the unloved XP 64). You can copy it off an XP box and have it run under 7, although in my experience the performance was dreadful for some reason, which I would more readily point a finger toward the new DWM/Aero/etc. stuff than the WoW64 layer. :/
Edit: Oh, there was a first comment on that, it just needed JavaScript to show because…reasons.
13/11/2013 at 23:03 LionsPhil says:
I believe Windows 1 only shipped with Reversi.
And that's not really the launch of the PC. DOS, man.
14/11/2013 at 12:53 drewski says:
There's a reasonable MS pinball game in the Windows 8 app store, although only the first table is free.
Not really worth using Windows 8 for, mind.

It's back admittedly as a free download rather than as being bundled, but still.

Obviously I wasn't clear. I don't think Polygon is at all a great site, their content or their layout. But they certainly don't skimp when it comes to presentation. That's all I was trying to say and I think people are trying to read into my words a bit too much.
13/11/2013 at 17:06 grechzoo says:
New way?
Okay their site is pretty i guess…thats it…its pretty, sums up polygon as a whole. its bland, the same old blandness of every other mainstream review site.
there is nothing edgy, nothing interesting and nothing new in any of their words. they just have the same old journalists writing about games in the same old way on a pretty looking new website.
people SHOULD be pointing it out. this review just proves everything i said above. How do you give a score to a piece of hardware that isn't even out yet, consoles are by their very nature successful after they get an audience and a back catalogue. they are nothing without those two, and they are reviewing it when it has neither.
I dont mind a write-up on a console specs and features, but a scored review is just pathetic and sums up polygon as a whole.
13/11/2013 at 17:35 klmx says:
I use Polygon for my day-to-day gaming news because of just that, it's pretty and bland. Never a fan of their reviews, no (*cough*SimCity*cough*), but you have to give it to them, the long feature articles are outstanding
And yeah RPS is "old-style" compared to those features and stuff like that. Their sister site, The Verge, pretty much revolutionized the whole "I LUV GADGETS" scene with their feature articles and such. It's just something else compared to a simple blog such as this one (and don't get me wrong I love RPS for it's silly ways)
14/11/2013 at 03:28 rockman29 says:
Polygon has frequently, and specifically Arthur Gies, have been using their "journalistic titles" to harass Sony in favour of the Xbox brand.
The amount of BS Agies has spouted about the Sony branded systems, even the PS4 as earlier as the beginning of this year with FUD comments about the performance relative to the new Xbox… and the contempt he has shown for his own colleagues on many occasions, or the fact that Polygon accepted a $750,000 grant from Microsoft…
They are blatantly biased and put little effort into hiding it, against Sony and their products. Their 5/10 review, a score reserved for next to utterly broken games, was given to Killzone Shadowfall for the sake of hits.
They are an embarrassment to the gaming community, despite their other programming that isn't related to them actively trying to disparage the Sony and PlayStation brands in favour of Xbox.
14/11/2013 at 11:18 Tams80 says:
I can't stand any Vox publications. The Polygon is bland and boring; I much prefer Kotaku (though Eurogamer and of obviously RPS are on my reading list). The Verge I absolutely can't stand. I find the reviewers obnoxious and far too often ignorant (the worst was their Nokia 808 PureView review; an absolute joke).
Both are unnecessarily bloated design wise. Yes, I do use Opera (Presto), but even with more popular browsers their sites are slow.

13/11/2013 at 17:11 cqdemal says:
"Presenting themselves in a new way" doesn't mean anything when a large amount of the content being served up is so dry and lifeless. Polygon's feature articles are outstanding, but the day-to-day site content is so dry that I usually just read the news from other sites.
Also, and this is going deeper into the personal opinion territory, I think quite a number Polygon reviews are intentionally scored too high or too low to generate clicks. Just a feeling. I do like it when they try to use the full 10-point scale, but sometimes it just feels like pandering.
13/11/2013 at 17:26 I Got Pineapples says:
I thought it was just me thinking that. I don't usually buy into that sort of conspiracy theory but that is seriously the vibe I've been getting off Polygon for a while now and it's gotten consistent enough that your sort of can anticipate when they're going to do it. It feels like in particular they tend to give lower marks to fringier games that are highly anticipated by their particular niche.
13/11/2013 at 17:39 Grygus says:
We could test this feeling. Are you predicting low scores for Grim Dawn and Star Citizen, for example?
13/11/2013 at 17:47 I Got Pineapples says:
Star Citizen, no. Because that won't be a review of the game itself so much as a review of the game being community funded.
Grim Dawn…maybe. Actually, yeah. I'm gonna go with lower for that, depending if they give path of exile a good review or not.
14/11/2013 at 03:30 rockman29 says:
Polygon has actively been doing this for awhile, particularly on scoring Sony platform titles low.
The explanation for a 5/10 score on a high profile game from Sony in KZ Shadowfall? Clicks and attention to their site.
14/11/2013 at 04:40 cqdemal says:
Especially the 7.5/10 score handed to The Last of Us. High enough to maintain credibility, low enough to stand out from the 9.5s and 10s (which, in my view, the game thoroughly deserves).
14/11/2013 at 05:22 I Got Pineapples says:
I can see not giving every AAA game a 9 or whatever, but that Last of Us review and score was a genuinely odd thing. If there actually was a AAA game that deserved it's initial rush of hype, it was Last of Us,
13/11/2013 at 17:49 Jesus_Phish says:
I can't remember where it was, but on youtube somewhere there's a video of a presentation that the Rev 3 guys gave where they explain how you review a game without having played it and how different sites will react to different games. They too joked about how if you're writing for Polygon you take the average score and subtract or add 2.5 to it just to be different.
13/11/2013 at 17:51 SkittleDiddler says:
I can certainly appreciate Polygon's willingness to update their per-game reviews to reflect ongoing changes in development (something that's sorely missing from games journalism), but the majority of their content is extremely shallow — you can pretty much count on what it's going to consist of before you even click the link. Typical industry sycophantism.
I really can't stand the design of their website either.
EDIT: Wow, I just went back to Polygon and read that "review" of the PS4. Not counting the tacked-on score at the end, the entire piece looks and feels like a giant press release. I hope the money Polygon got from Sony goes to something worthwhile. Maybe they can buy off their independence or something.

Polygon could be written by Ernest Hemmingway and Douglas Adams and I couldn't be arsed to read the thing because the layout is so completely non-functional. There's a reason the mostly text article summary–>click to expand article format is so widely used and it's because it works.
Polygon is the Macintosh of gaming websites. Congratulations on finding a use for your graphic design degree, but what is your function exactly.
14/11/2013 at 00:27 Geebs says:
Hey! Us mac users hated polygon's design before hating it was cool. Because we have taste.

I do love their art team's insightful source comments, especially the "Square Screen Thing (idk what this is)" in the image just above the video. :)
13/11/2013 at 17:10 DickSocrates says:
Polygon has some good people working for it, yet the final product is far too up its own arse to be taken seriously. I'm not sure there's a single website that presents games properly, but the fashionista approach is the furthest from the truth and the least representative of the audience. Might be time to reread Crecente's tour of his home for a good laugh.
13/11/2013 at 17:11 Don Reba says:
10.5% sounds unduly harsh. Does it mean PC is dead? :(

13/11/2013 at 17:36 Sigh says:
I also appreciate how Tom Chick has been re-reviewing "The Secret World" every day this week and giving it a new score each day as a response to Polygon's review score updates/changes.
Polygon's technique:
Sim City 2013 (launch day): 9.5 Awesome! Best game ever!
Sim City 2013 (1 day later): 4.5 Ummm maybe something something is wrong.
13/11/2013 at 17:44 Grygus says:
That sounds terrible, but then I realize this is exactly how I think about games myself. If you asked me on launch day how Rome II was, I would have gushed about all the things that are good about it. If you ask me today, I'd tell you to wait for a deep discount and more patches, and most of our talk would be about the things that are wrong with it. Now obviously I'm not a journalist and nobody wants reviewers to write like I think, but my point is that maybe it's not a bad thing that a site realizes that, over time, how good a game is CAN change.
13/11/2013 at 18:42 thekelvingreen says:
Which is why the race to get the first review out is so counter-productive in most cases. Unless you're going to review the basic mechanics or the flashy stuff in the first couple of hours, you need more time to get the feel for a game than you do with some other media. On the other hand no one's going to wait until they've put in forty hours of play before they review the thing so it'll never change.
14/11/2013 at 06:29 Deadly Sinner says:
I hardly ever read Polygon, but I'm fairly certain that the score change was a direct response to the massive server problems that the game had that led to people not being able to play their game. One extra day would not be enough time to completely change your opinion of the core game itself.
I'm not sure about Polygon's specific implementation, but I completely support the idea of review updates. It's not 2003. Games these days are ever-changing. What scores would Fallout: New Vegas get today, considering that it was lambasted on release for its bugs (which have since been mostly fixed?) What scores would Team Fortress 2 receive today, considering that the game is almost unrecognizable compared to its initial release.
14/11/2013 at 15:52 HadToLogin says:
First number was pre-release, it was review of played-at-EA game, where there were no problems with internet, and probably time-limited (and it's important to know, Sim City biggest problems started to appear in time – this game was means to be played as Sim Village, maybe Sim Town, but not as Sim City).
And then score went down inversly to number of minutes they needed to be able to get into game.
13/11/2013 at 17:43 Scumbag says:
It does not have Halo 14 on launch.
I shall make 6 Metacritic accounts and with each give it a zero to balance out the score.
13/11/2013 at 17:44 Kinch says:
I'd give it 10.5 if it let me play Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA V, The Last of Us, RDR, etc.
Seems people need to hate something to make them feel better. Hate consoles, hate a website for its web design. So trendy.
13/11/2013 at 17:45 Grygus says:
I'd point out that emulation is a matter of time, but that wouldn't really address your main point.
13/11/2013 at 18:15 I Got Pineapples says:
I'm actually not entirely sure it is anymore. I mean, they only really solved the PS2 emulation problems by just shrugging going 'Go find a bios that is totally legal no really' and some stuff still chugs a bit.
Though they did eventually get the Saturn working, I guess.
13/11/2013 at 19:53 Nouser says:
The BIOS thing for PS2 emulators is more legal stuff than a technical issue.
13/11/2013 at 20:48 I Got Pineapples says:
Oh yeah. I'm more saying that we're at a point where it's difficult to make up the pretend console needed to not unleash an unholy torrent of C&D letters.

Pick a winner: The Sarah Hunter Google competition
A couple of weeks ago we reported what an impression Sarah Hunter, Google's top lobbying person and Head of UK Public Policy, had made at a public event. The internet is "like the Gaia Theory," she said, "A butterfly flaps its wings and a tsunami happens in another part of the world." Somehow I can't imagine Larry or Sergey …
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
WTF am I reading?
Looks like Sarah Palin quotes, but apart from that I really don't know.
Beer, quick!
Is this true for anything other than amusing pictures of animals?
Stephen McPolin has:
The Second Law of Information Dynamics.
A disequilibrium in the distribution of information produces an information potential. This potential is the force which diffuses information across the internet. The internet is at equilibrium when the information potential is minimised.
But this is patently correct...
The Second Law of Information Dynamics is clearly demonstrable and therefore *cannot* be a Hunterism.
You must NEVER publish this
Because if you do, in a couple of years time it will be adopted as the schools' science curriculum. A a few years after that, when those years' students become advisors to politicians it will become our national science policy.

A similar article appeared in the April issue of ETI (an electronics magazine) many, many years ago, when hobbyists used things like transistors, resisters and capacitors to build circuits to carry out various functions. Another April issue article described a device called a FEVA - Field Effect Vacuum Amplifier - with a complete description of, and an explanation of the workings of, a triode valve, hailed as a new breakthrough in electronic device invention.
I like Arah Leonard's one because it made my head hurt.
Should anyone care.
Hunterianisms should be a regular feature.
I'm sure a panel made up of the likes of Leonard could keep the stuff coming... Or rather, I'm sure the rockets would keep firing on all cylinders!
Auditing chaos theory
Aaahh, that pdf document did my crusty old accountant's soul a power of good. I'm a real accountant, btw, not someone who defected from auditing and imagines that mad skillz at slavishly following the Audit Proceddures Manual actually means they understand what they're doing.
This stuff makes AMFM look coherent
Or at least reasonably medicated.
That reads like a list of some of the more entertaining spam emails I've had in my mailbox... you know, the ones that start with a random set of, largely nonsensical (though often strangely poetic) sentences and end with an image punting Viagra/Cialis/Whatever :)
Inverse Square Law?
No such thing.
Nobody can make me turn it upside down, and anyway, it would look the same, so how could they prove I didn't?

I'm wondering who is laughing at whom here, and suspecting that, in this instance, it's the auditors getting the last laugh.
And remember this law...
He who laughs last laughs last.
He who laughs last has just thought of a dirty meaning.
My vote for...
Jonathan Gladstone and Daire Stockdale. Brilliant!
Has to be...
John-Paul S interpretation of Moore's Law. It almost sounds like it makes sense without being overtly wrong or stupid, definitely warrants being tried out on some sophisticos.
baffling conflations 'R us
It's like the famous Einstein comment on condom theory, "God does not slay mice".
Southern Chartered Accountants Student Society
Has to be a joke. Look at the name of the person whose "report" they cite: Sir Tinlee Able? Certainly Able?
Has to be a troll.
Out of everything in that document, and the question is about the name?
I propose
A random Hunterian quote generating tool. Because when a butterfly flaps its wings, Murphy's law states that it will always end up talking about Hitler.
Ah, I keep forgetting this stinking thing!
I think she read BOFH and is trying to put us into dummy mode. Unfortunately for her it backfired. Permanently.
My vote goes for
"Osmosis" by Alby. Inspired, and it stands a good chance of going mainstream.

Life of Crime Can't Take Itself Seriously
By Alan Scherstuhl
By Amy Nicholson
In the spare yet grand Happy People: A Year in the Taiga, co-director and tour guide Werner Herzog talks us through one season cycle in the life of a not-of-this-century trapper in the Siberian town of Bakhta, population 300. We follow Anatoly Soloviev puttering through the forested vastness and over the frozen Yenisei River with a husky leashed to his snowmobile. Soloviev checks his traps, explains how to select wood for ski-making, tells us how there's easy game to be had because the crust atop the snowdrifts isn't strong enough for moose to walk on without falling through and then struggling to move. These scenes will inspire many viewers to imagine a go at this fat-of-the-land life. Building a trap for sable, Soloviev explains that he's doing it the same way that Siberians have for generations; other than that snowmobile and a chainsaw, he could be toiling under the rule of the czars. Soloviev's world is presented simply, with little comment, at a pace in which viewers can sink into it and start to feel the place. Co-director Dmitry Vasyukov's digital photography is somewhat muddy, with objects and creatures blurring against the backgrounds. This is especially apparent toward the end, when winter has hit and Soloviev, gathering trapped sable, picks his way though snow-bent branches and harsh white horizons. A yellowish aura surrounds him at times, a testament to the expenses that were spared. It's fitting that this film of people making do with what they have should itself look somewhat humble, without lyricism -- a work not of beauty, but of work.

CONSISTENT rotisserie-type chicken?
we all know zankou. either you love it or hate it. but honestly, i think the quality varies. sometimes i've had perfectly juicy fowl there, other times it's been dry as a bone. same with chicken at koo koo roo, el pollo loco, and pretty much everywhere else that serves bird on a stick. so is it possible that rotisserie places are necessarily inconsistent? anyone know a good one in L.A. that is consistently juicy and awesome? (and don't say california chicken cafe - that place is ok once in a while but overall their food is kinda bland to me)...
re: MEalcentric
oh yeah, dem costco birds are good! and pretty much consistent, yes. i used to tear them up and put them in salads.
re: MEalcentric
Those Costco birds are a great bargain and are really delicious to boot. They suffer from the universal "store roasted chicken" curse, of course, which is that they are packaged with plastic wrap. This means that the bird contines to steam while sitting there, yielding flacid skin. My solution is to wait until they bring out a fresh batch of chickens and then to puncture the wrap all over so the steam escapes - a perfectly crispy (well, better, anyway) skin and since I never eat the meat hot it's a good solution.
re: MEalcentric
Another vote for Costco chicken. Take it home, open a nice bottle of Burgundy, and enjoy. The drive home with the aroma of the bird sitting in the passenger seat is almost unbearable. Must resist reaching for the drumstick....
re: MEalcentric
Second on Costco. Little too salty for me, but definitely consistent.
re: MEalcentric
we LOVe the costco chicken, its a staple at our house as you can do so many different things with it and the price cannot be beat.
Gelson's roasted chicken is good. It is a tad costly to buy a portion of chicken but the whole, roasted bird seems like it is priced fairly.
Sevan chicken in Tujunga is similar to Zankou but better. That might be a bit out of your way though.
re: howard81
Boston Market used to suck, I give them credit...they really improved a lot.
The 2 Banderas (WLA and Corona Del Mar) do excellent rotisserie chicken. I think Houston's also has it, but its not as good because they don't do it over an open wood flame like the Banderas.
re: cbee
Yes, it's just north of some car wash, on the east side of Western. Here's a thread from a little bit ago discussing chicken, mainly Zankou but you'll get the gist.
Pics of wood burned chicken on a spit fire at Pollo A La Brasa.
re: Das Ubergeek
My office did a taco bar for a fundraiser and used shredded Costco chicken for the meat. They put it in a crockpot on low to keep it warm. It was great.
re: Dorothy
one of the dishes i served on the buffet i put together for my daughter's bat mitzvah was costco chicken. i carved up several of the chickens and arranged the meat on a platter with plenty of garnish. everyone loved them.
i was able to get the freshly-roasted chickens a half hour before people walked in the door. they were juicy and succulent.
re: Liquid Sky
The OP is interested in consistency in quality.
re: judge dee
DEE: I understand that. Someone had mentioned earlier that Whole Foods was good, and I disagreed about their consistency.
Actually in Brentwood at the Country Mart (corner of San Vicente & 26th) there is a chicken rotisserie place that is still run by the original family. Forgot the name of it, but if you walk in you will smell the juices. One of the most flavorful and succulent birds I have ever come across. The skin is the best part. Oh... and don't forget the potato wedges. Great to eat right at the picnic benches there.
re: kproq323
Sounds like you're talking about Reddi Chick:
Reddi Chick
225 26th Street
Santa Monica, CA
re: kproq323
That place has been turning out consistantly good chicken for over 15 years - now that I'm on the east side of town, I never geto over there, but it used to be a once a week affair of mine
I agree with the Costco recommendation. El Pollo Inka (So. Bay area) is excellent and also Juan Pollo (east of L.A. area.) I found them all to be consistent.
I agree with Costco for a cheaply priced bird. Excellently seasoned and can be used a million ways!
I think Kosher Club makes the best ones. You usually have to order them in advance, but often they have extra ones. Crisp skin, perfectly done, tender, juicy, and most of all, TASTY. Because I think Costco birds taste like plastic.
KClub is on Pico and Tremaine...might as well drive 3 minutes to Maison du Pain for a baguette, and you're halfway done with dinner.
re: at4
Then I will eat your plastic, because my Costco chicken tonight tasted exactly like a chicken should taste, with maybe a tad too much salt, but at $4.99+$.41 tax or $5.40 out the door in less than 10 minutes, just off the roti, I could not and should not expect any better. All the chicken specialty places tend to suck by comparison.
But since I am not proximate to Pico and Tremaine, I will have to wait to try your preference.
Another vote for Costco's 4.99 bargain bird!
The quality doesn't seem to vary too much at the same store but I've noticed every store tends to taste slightly different. Inglewood Costco seems to taste a bit saltier then MDR Costco for example...
I have gotten into the habit of picking one up everytime I go. If I don't eat it as-is for dinner that night I pick the meat off and use it in pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches and soups. Just stick it in a airtight ziplock bag in the fridge and its good for the week!--that is if it lasts that long since I usually end up munching on it after I get home from work.
Thanks to my large-headed gal Giada DiLaurentiis for the idea to do this!
another vote for reddi-chick! eating outside near the firepit is a great l.a. experience...plus for desert you can go over to the City Cafe.

I Need Your Help! - Frozen Yogurt Spots
- c
- chocokitty Mar 20, 2008 01:46 PM
Hi 'hounders!
I'm in dire need of your help...(as I screamed earlier). I'm going to write an article about frozen yogurt - the tangy/sour stuff in the vein of Pinkberry (not for my blog though).
If you do have any idea where I can find this beyond Pinkberry, Flurt, or Red Mango, please tell me!
Thanks in advance!
My absolute favorite is Berrywild on 3rd Ave between 29/30. I think it smokes all the rest.
re: KiwiGirl625
Maybe it's only me but I once got a taster of Crazy Bananas and it tasted like granola. I really don't expect my fro yo to taste like granola unless I've specifically asked for toppings, so I left quickly.
My fave is Flurt - I get about 1 or two mediums a week. Although I need to try Red Mango.
re: racer x
There's a Yogurtberry in Jackson Heights.
re: racer x
I just noticed there is also a Red Mango near the northeast corner of that same intersection. That's got to be one of the greatest densities of frozen yogurt shops in the known world.
(I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something wrong with me since I've never tasted frozen yogurt from any of these chains.)
re: Cookiepuss
Smoochies tastes artificial to me. Also, it bills itself as a lactose-free "frozen dessert," like Tasti d Lite: http://www.smoochies.biz/products.htm
re: kathryn
I just had frozen yogurt from the Yoqua Bar on 23rd near Park Ave last night. I had the plain variety which tasted very much like Pinkberry but a tiny bit sweeter. Same sorts of toppings too.
Berrywild is so good. Better than Pinkberry. The coffee flavor is especially good, and really tastes like coffee, whereas the new Pinkberry coffee just tastes gross, like a weird coffee additive on top of their regular yogurt.
I just tried Red Mango on Bleecker St. It was so good! I ordered the plain (green tea was the other choice) with fresh strawberries. I've tried this style of yogurt at a place called Coco Plum (Palisades Mall W. Nyack NY) and another place called Yogo Mango (Norwood NJ), both of these places have a very artificial tang to them. Red Mango wasn't overly tangy, or too sweet it was delicious. I thought I would never like this style of yogurt, but now I am hooked. I asked the women at the counter what was the difference between Red Mango and Pinkberry, and she told me that Red Mango was much healthier and contained live yogurt cultures, and probiotics, whereas Pinkberry's nutrients were more akin to eating ice cream. I do have a bit of a cold, I'm crossing my fingers that the next time I go to Red Mango I enjoy it as much as I am right now.
re: michele cindy
I also tried Red Mango lasat weekend and thought it was vastly superior to Pinkberry (which I think is vile and artificial tasting). I'm still not crazy about this style of frozen dessert -- prefer ice cream and gelato, but Red Mango is not bad.
re: Miss Needle
I wasn't too crazy about it either, until I tried Red Mango. I've changed my mind. This may sound silly, and not very clear, it's hard to explain, but the way I look at it is, kinda like how you look at jello and pudding, they are different enough that they are in their own category. I look at this frozen yogurt not as an ice cream alternative, but as a completely different entity.
re: michele cindy
I think Flurt makes the best yogurt.
re: jackieparis
Does anyone know if the Flurt at Battery City re-open after the winter close?
re: michele cindy
I gave in and tried Red Mango today - just a plain order with no fruit or other topping. I agree with michele cindy that in terms of taste, it is a completely different entity than ice cream or gelato. It basically tasted like softserve-frozen, sweetened yogurt, with that kind of sharpness/tanginess, and very slight bitterness that is characteristic of yogurt but absent in ice cream.
I really like regular yogurt and lassi, but this frozen yogurt doesn't really appeal to me. I think I'll stick with my old friends ice cream and gelato - I can't get enough of them anyway.

Bahía Solano http://www.flickr.com/photos/tschoftel/
This is the most frequent mode of travel towards the center of the country, mainly to Medellín, Quibdó, Bogotá, and Cali. Airlines are SATENA and ADA. Private airplanes belonging to small companies provide charter flights. Although there are established flight frequencies and routes, airlines modify them to adapt to demand and the time of year.
The municipality of Bahía Solano provides air service through the José Celestino Mutis Regional Airport, which is operated by Aerocivil (the government civil aeronautics entity) and managed by the Mayoralty. Its runway has the capacity for light planes, maximum ATR or Fokker types, and measures 950 by 12 meters.
Access by sea is from Buenaventura, the port that supplies Bahía Solano with consumer products, food, hardware, etc. The trip takes 12 hours by speedboat or 24 by marine transport services.
Within the municipality, various private services provide transportation in speedboats to any location in the region.

The 2008 Farm Bill provides authority to use the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to address energy conservation on agricultural operations. During 2012, the EQIP Energy Initiative is designed to assist producers in two ways:
All AgEMPs must be developed by a Technical Service Provider (TSP). A directory of TSPs can be found at the TechReg Web page. Development of the Conservation Activity Plan must be complete within 12 months of the contract obligation and contract lengths are typically limited to two years.
Note: Applying for the 374 Farmstead Energy Improvement conservation practice requires an energy audit before an applicant can apply for that practice. This is the only conservation practice where the energy audit is a prerequisite.
Funding is available for two separate energy AgEMPs or on-farm energy audits. One plan can be developed for the farm headquarters area and another plan is available for the landscape or field areas of an agriculture operation. The AgEMP (Headquarters) will be individually tailored to ensure coverage of the primary energy use areas on the farm headquarters, such as milk cooling, irrigation pumping, heating and cooling of livestock production facilities, manure collection and transfer, and other common on-farm activities. The AgEMP (Landscape) determines and documents current energy usage, over the past annual cycle, and provides cost-effective alternatives and recommendations for energy conservation. The evaluation of energy conservation activities shall include energy used in the cultivation, protection, and harvesting of agricultural crops.
EQIP applications are accepted year-round. NRCS has established three ranking periods for 2013:
Ranking Period 1: Applications received by close of business on January 18, 2013
Ranking Period 2: Applications received by close of business on February 15, 2013
Ranking Period 3: Applications received by close of business on March 15, 2013
Ranking Period 4: Applications received by close of business on April 19, 2013
Ranking Period 5: Applications received by close of business on May 17, 2013

He's big, strong, a double-double rock of muscle and hustle in the center of the Miami Heat's tenacious defense. He has a soft touch on his jumper and adds a dimension of assets that can't be measured by stats. The iron man (with the forgivable iron hands) can even fish fairly well, his favorite off-season hobby. But it's those natty dreads (with a Bob Marley tattoo for emphasis) which remind all that the NBA presses on with a Quaker's sense of individuality. His hairstyle grabs attention the way he grabs rebounds, to the point that the Heat sells Brian Grant dreadlock headbands so that everyone who's six-nine, built like a mountain, and one of the most reliable players in the NBA can be just like him. Sort of.

The four large reflective stainless-steel objects herethe curving wall, a stretched-out cone, a rectangular monolith, and a wasp-waist towergo beyond funhouse mirrors by making the physics of light and perception palpable. Each heightens the banal geometries of the gallery, turning plumb corners into slingshot curves and rows of fluorescent lights into ever-shifting, luminous rubber bands. The sculptures reflect each other in turn, surrounding you with flitting, attenuated doppelgängers.

To clarify my point, I wasn't saying that kibble is bad. Is it great? Is it ideal? No. But there are good choices out there if you choose to feed your dogs kibble. What I took issue with was the title. The author wrote an article addressing the problems of feeding your dog from the table, but then gave it a title warning readers about feeding dogs human food. The title just didn't fit the article content. The title I suggested in my first comment would be more accurate.
4 Reasons Why It's Bad to Feed Your Dog Food for Humans
Dog parents love to spoil their four-legged kids with kisses, hugs and table scraps. The first two are great for showing your dog how much you love him, but feeding him table scraps could actually be doing more harm than good. Here are four reasons why you shouldn't feed your dog human food.
1. Not all human food is bad for dogs. In fact, peanut butter, cottage cheese, pumpkin and rice, to name a few, are actually good for your dog. But that doesn't mean you should start giving your dog human food. Foods like chocolate, onions, garlic, nuts, grapes and raisins can cause your dog more harm than good.
According to caninejournal.com, "Foods that are perfectly suitable for human consumption, as well as other animals, may be toxic and even poisonous to your dog, posing a serious threat to its health and well-being. Why? Because all animals have very different rates of metabolism. Metabolism is basically the process of breaking down food and turning it into energy."
Bottom line: If you want to feed your dog human food, that's fine, but do your research and make sure you are feeding your dog something that not only benefits his diet, but that is good for him, too.
2. It's no secret that obesity is a problem. Human food is often high in calories and fat, and if humans have a hard time keeping calories and fat at bay, then it's safe to say that our canine counterparts will also struggle.
"A common concern with feeding table scraps is that it causes obesity. While this is certainly a concern, it does not need to be the case. Any time you give your dog extra food, you are adding extra calories, so if the food you choose to share with your dog is high in fats, sugars and calories, then there is a real risk of your dog becoming obese. This risk is higher for small dogs, as it takes very few extra calories to cause weight gain," writes moderndogmagazine.com.
Again, it comes back to research. You really shouldn't be feeding your dog foods high in fat and calories anyway, but if you give your dog carrots, plain yogurt or apple slices, then you're doing him a favor.
3. Another issue that arises when you feed your dog human food is that he won't eat his own food. Remember the first time you had chocolate or tasted your first steak? You wanted more, because it tasted so good that no other foods could compare and you developed a taste, and craving, for that particular food. Well, this is how your dog feels when he gets human food – that it is a million times better than their kibble. And why eat dog food when you can eat steak, right?
4. Sharing your meal with your dog from the table also encourages begging, and how annoying is it when you go to a friend's house for dinner and their dog follows you around, practically snatching the food right out of your hands? Well, it's super-annoying. No one likes a begging dog, so please stop feeding your dog from the table immediately.
Moderndogmagazine.com says, "If you wish to avoid this [begging], share people food like you would any other treat: away from the table and not at meal times. You may want to ask your dog to do his favorite trick before you give him a treat or even just place the treat in his bowl. If your dog tends to be a finicky eater, make sure he has eaten his regular food before you share any extras."
You can also mix the food in with his kibble and feed it to him during his feeding time, not yours. And if you can't stand the thought of seeing your dog beg for food and want him to stop, then put him in his crate or outside with a Kong treat or something else to occupy his mind.

ChewzyCharlie makes good points. There is definitely more problems with feeding a dog kibble compared with a homemade diet. Read Dr. Lew Olson's "Raw & Natural Nutrition for Dogs," for reasons why you should not feed your dog kibble. Plus, learn why high fat and high protein diets are beneficial for dogs.
These are all good points, but I feel like the title is really inappropriate. There is no such thing as "human food". There is only food. Certain foods are good for dogs and certain foods are bad. Many people feed their dogs homemade food that is better than kibble. This homemade food is what many people would call "human food". I think a better title for your article... a more accurate one... would be "4 Reasons Why It's Bad to Feed Your Dog From the Table".
thank you for the post, i will definitely stop giving her food directly from the table... thats something i am guilty of!
