Let's talk about great meatball parms
- Mr Taster Sep 13, 2012 12:29 PM
I grew up in central NJ (Lakewood) and although I haven't been there in a very long time (I have lived in Los Angeles for fifteen years) and my palate has evolved since I was a kid, I do have many fond memories of the delicious Italian American food of my youth. Los Angeles has some wonderful food, but truly great NJ style Italian-American staples are hard to find here.
I may be heading back for a family event, and it made me wonder. Does a truly great meatball parm exist in central New Jersey, or are the sandwiches of my youth just a happy memory? Honestly I can't remember where we used to go for great ones, but I do remember places with Italian sounding A-names (Attilios, Antonios, etc.)
I remember great meatball parms were always broiled to melt and brown the cheese over the meatballs and crisp the bread. I always disliked mealy meatballs-- and if an error was to be made, I preferred the springier, chewier ones to the ones that fell apart into mush. Meatballs needed to be well spiced. Oregano was always a plus.
How do you define a great meatball parm?
And I've always wondered about this-- isn't it usually mozzarella on a meatball parm? What about provelone? I always thought it was a bit odd that the sandwich was defined by a cheese that takes second fiddle to the gooey melted stuff that showcases the sandwich.
For purposes of opening up the conversation, I'm open to great meatball parms all over New Jersey.
Thanks for your advice.
Mr Taster
I grew up in Briarwood Queens and as you, have wonderful memories of many different foods least of which was a meatball parm hero from Alba pizzeria. They would cut the SOLID meatballs in half, put them in a metal baking dish and put them in the oven after covering them in sauce and cheese...lots of cheese. When the m.b's were just about ready they would put the hollowed out roll into the oven and let it toast. Out they both came and the meatballs, cheese and sauce were spooned into the roll. Heaven. Now that I've digressed, I'm sure you can find a good m.b. parm sub in N.J.
Lived in New Jersey all my life, and LOVE meatball parm sandwiches. When you do find a great one, please let me know where it is! I have actually had meatballs so horrible that I faked liking them to ask what ingredients they used, (so that I wouldn't repeat the offense) and have been told, "I don't know, they get them frozen in a bag at costco."
re: drubenero
I'm not one to eat meatballs out of my home but the one's they have at Frank Anthony's are great. Meatballs are a personal thing so hard to say what people would and wouldn't like but I can vouch for these..and they do make a parm.
re: corvette johnny
corvette johnny - I'm really glad you posted this, as I remember reading a readers poll in a local paper that had Ocean View as a winner in a sandwich category. I remember vowing to try the place, but have yet to do so. A google search however, returns with the name Ocean View Bakery. Is this the same, or am I looking in the wrong place? If it is indeed the same place, there is quite an Italian influence in that are, as it is about a block from Tony's, Tuzzio's, and Nunzio's. Thanks in advance!
re: drubenero
Yes, it is ocean view bakery and a block from Tonys and Nunzios.
Joanne is her name and she is a sweet lady. I love her veal & peppers too!
I would recommend trying her subs. I think you will be impressed!
re: corvette johnny
Johnny, I may have to stop in one of these days. We do a Nunzio's pie every so often so the 'hood is known - my wife will often order one of these or a sausage parm from Gianni's which isn't bad. I'll get back to you should I order some stuff from them. Thanks
re: JustJake
JustJake: If you like cheesesteaks, try the cheese steak pizza at Rockafellars (about 1 block from Ocean View.....good stuff and filling. One large pie weighs several pounds LOL
Ironically, I really don't like their regular cheesesteak subs much...nothing compared to the real deal philly steaks. However, pizza they can pull off.
re: corvette johnny
Just so I'm clear, this place is a bakery, run by an old couple, that makes killer sandwiches? If so, I'm heading up soon.
re: MGZ
That is correct. I don't think they bake bread any longer though.
They are probably in there 80s to be honest. They have been there for EVER. Check out the cash register they use. It is hilarious!
Joanne and Giro are the owners. Joanne gets so busy she starts to talk to me in italian. I just nod my head and pretend to understand LOL
She makes a good fried chicken cutlet with fresh Moz and roasted red peppers (and balsamic)
Ask what the special is. They have hot dishes in the back like sausage and pepps, veal and pepps, etc. If you go at peak lunch hours it will be slow. They get packed.
She also makes me antipastos with proscuitto, sopressata, aged provolone, fresh mozz and roasted peppers....custom made and about 3000 calories : )
re: corvette johnny
Thanks for the heads up. I gotta get there.
The problem with this type of hero is not the meatballs, nor the cheese, nor the sauce. It's the BREAD. Most pizza places use the cheapest, most horrific bread for these heros, hoping people don't notice. (I guess they don't!)
I want a great bread for my hero sandwiches, and it's just not to be found.
re: lemarais
Not a problem. Nobody in this part of the world actually orders or eats a sandwich called a "Hero." If they did, hopefully they should be seriously disappointed. :-\
re: equal_Mark
I don't understand... If it's called a "hoagie" or a "sub" or a "grinder" the bread is better??? And BTW, half of the State of NJ calles them "heros".
re: ebchower
I know this is a meatball parm string, but eggplant parm is a 1st cousin. You'd be hard pressed to find a better made one than at Ms. DiMaggio's pizza joint (DeLio's) on Broadway in South Amboy.
A friend recommended them to me a few years ago, and if I'm traveling anywhere near the place on the way back to the office, I call her to see if she has made a batch - and then will audible and veer into town for it. It's terrific.
As for the meatball parm, I don't' often order, opting to make em' at home as my wife makes a pot full of em on some Sunday's (and she's not Italian). - Leftovers from an Italian dinner on Monday has us making Meatball Parm, and it's an awesome meatball. Get some club rolls from Nino's in Oakhurst and it's as good as it gets. Bon Apetit
re: JustJake
JustJake, Have you tried anything else from Delio's? I'd love to here more about it, even though great Eggplant Parm is worth the ride to just about anywhere.
re: drubenero
Their meatball parm :-) is good (they don't skimp on quality as they're principled 'old school' that you do things but one way - the right way, the way momma used to......., but as stated, I go there for the eggplant parm. Slices aren't bad - cheezy and not too much grease.
On the Eggplant parm sandwich - it's not always available so call in advance 732-721-7440 to see if she has some made up.
re: JustJake
Thank you JustJake. I'm a big fan of the pizza at Sciortino's, and can't bring myself to go to SA for pizza anywhere else, but on your recommendation I'll try it at Dileo's as well. Uh Oh - I hope I didn't just inadvertently turn this into another pizza thread...
re: JustJake
Thanks for the tip. I take the train from South Amboy & am always looking for a good eggplant parm, so I'll give it a try one night.
re: eleeper
eleeper, my go to meatball sandwich place closed - it was Lombardi's on Rt. 34.
re: drubenero
Alas, that is not as helpful as I might have wished. :-(
Mark thinks the bread in the subs at La Strada in Matawan (along the Parkway) is excellent, so if it's the bread that matters, that might be the best place. (I don't actually like meatball parms myself, or indeed most subs--too much bread for my tastes. À chacun son goût and all that.)
Over the past few days I underwent a little Meatball Parm tour of sorts. Nothing like taking one (or two or three) for the team. First I will say the main focus of this post is Meatball, but I will mention a couple of other topics mentioned in this thread. I tried two of the places mentioned on consecutive days, the first being Ocean View Bakery, then the next day Delio's in South Amboy. I walked into Ocean View, and I felt like I walked into an old store in Little Italy (or I guess I should say Chinatown now), or a neighborhood joint on Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. Lot's of character & charm topped of by a few really nice people behind the counter. Onto the Meatballs:
At Ocean View the Meatballs in my estimation can best be described as meatballs cooked in gravy. Many restaurants reheat broiled or fried meatballs, spoon the warm sauce over the top, then place it on the bread, top with cheese, then toss it in the oven to melt the cheese & toast the bread. Not at Ocean View, here the Meatballs are cooked in the sauce, then cheese is placed on the bread, topped with the hot meatballs, and served. the bread wasn't toasted, but it didn't detract from the sandwich at all. It's a winner, now we all have our own preferences, and while it was well made, I would have liked it to be a little saltier! A little more seasoning would have put it over the top for me.
On to Delio's: just a note - Delio's is undergoing some cosmetic construction, so there is no sign at the current time. Delio's is set up just like a thousand other NJ pizza by the slice shops, but as with Ocean View the folks behind the counter set the place apart. The Meatballs: Large meatballs, sliced and heated and sauced separately (as many places do described above) but were indeed very tasty. Nicely seasoned, good amount of garlic, toasted bread, but the toasted bread combined with the spooned on sauce made for messy eats. Poor me, like i care!) the sandwich was better than most, because it was made by people who care about serving good food. on a personal note, I would have liked the sauce at Delio's to be a little more balanced, it was a little acidic, but it did have good tomato flavor, something you can't get using inferior quality tomatoes.
To some it up, but really not trying to compare two separately authentic examples of Italian-Americana (can I say that?) I would have loved Delio's Meatballs, cooked the way Ocean View does it!!!!!
The real gem of these two places is the people behind the counter. Both were so similar in that the folks were friendly, and started conversations with the customers, and I love the Italian accents!
As for other food, unfortunately Delio's Didn't have Eggplant Parm on the day I visited, and I was told that "I Maka it fresha ifa I donta hava the time I donta make it - I donta usa da freezer, only for a mya yeasta and olda bread" I LOVE THAT!!! I also had a slice of Pizza, that was definitely above average, and I plan on going back with the family for pies.
Now back to Ocean View. I did try the eggplant Parm, and they do it the right way. Eggplant Parm is meant to be put together and baked, and thats how it is done here. It was better than the Meatball Parm, and it's what I would travel there for, if they didn't make a KILLER Salami & fresh Mozzarella Sub. Thin Layer of Salami & Provolone, hand cut (the way Italian Grandmothers cut, holding the object in their left hand, slicing towards themselves with a pairing knife in their right - if they're right handed) the usual lettuce, tomato & onion, plus roast red peppers, and a vinegar & oil dressing that she put on the sandwich with a spoon. Nothing quite like a cold sub that makes the paper around it transparent by the time you get it home. Sorry this post has been so long, but these places excited me! When I do in fact make the trip back to Ocean View, it is going to be for a cold sub - and maybe the Pasta Fagiole that I've since heard is really good.
re: drubenero
Does Delios have a dining room where one can BYOB do you know or is it basically a pizza place with booths and such?
re: CatLadyJan
CatLadyJan, the counter is in the front of the place, and is square in shape, and there is an area behind it with tables. I didn't notice any booths, and I'm not sure if they have table service (wait staff) at all. When I do make it back in, I'll ask!
re: drubenero
Thanks for doing all of this legwork (and mouthwork!) As I originally mentioned, I am in Los Angeles but you're really making me want to take a trip back home.
Mr Taster
re: drubenero
Nice write up! Was this your first time there? Joanne is a piece of work right? LOL
I always wonder when they will retire. It will be a sad day but I guess as long as they love what they do and are able to do it, they will continue.
If you would like to try a good eggplant parm I would recommend Ciao Bella in Highlands (right next to the Quick chek on route 36)
It is a little different you will find....let me know if you try one. I've had quite a few eggplant parms in my day and I think this is one of the better ones around.
re: corvette johnny
Oceanview Menu: http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens/Take...
re: corvette johnny
corvette, I was going to sneak Ciao Bella in this post somewhere, based on the best Chicken Parm I've had in a restaurant. It was as a dinner, not in sub/hero form. I wanted to get there to try the meatball last week, but it will have to get done in the future!
re: corvette johnny
Ciao Bella also makes an unreal Chicken Parm sub!! It's my go to CP sub place. And the owner Cesar makes a great pizza.
re: sockster
Sockster, I've eaten there a few times and think it's about the best red-sauce Italian in the area, but I've never had the pizza. Now it will be meatball parm sub & pizza to go!
re: drubenero
Giorgio is a pizza master....I like mine on the well done side....just ask...and he'll do it!
re: sockster
yeah Cesar is a cool guy. I go there all the time.
If you have not had his actual entrees, they are quite good to and reasonable. I am a big fan of their chicken scarpiello.

Everybody loves ________, but me
I saw this on the Dallas board and was facsinated. I'll get you started with 2 places sure to engender discussion.
Everybody loves Hut's and Matt's El Rancho but me. Mediocre burgers and terrible Tex-Mex. And no, the drinks are neither good enough nor cheap enough to save MER.
re: ericthered
All Rudy's or just the one on 183?
re: Pmd669
I've only eaten at the one on 183. So maybe the one in Round Rock is better. I hesitate because I do not want to be dissappointed...again.
re: amykragan
Second that.
re: amykragan
I like Maudies. I'm not ashamed to say. It is what it is. Tex-Mex. I t doesn't pretend to be anything else. Good margaritas, good enchiladas.
re: TroyTempest
Good soup!
re: Chuckster71
I was a tentative fan early on, but they are slipping badly. About two months ago was my final visit. Expecting to see them on a RIP thread in the not too distant future.
re: pinotho
re: rudeboy
Second Chez Zee.
I've never been treated more rudely at a restaurant than the brunch person taking reservation orders. (black hair, light eyes)
Twice I had to go into the kitchen to find syrup for french toast or pancakes. Then, I stopped going.
re: sweet100s
I stopped going to chez zee when i saw some of their cakes were well past their prime and I didn't think they were icing them with blue cheese. Never been back.
re: rudeboy
Yup. Haven't had anything there that's made me want to go back. Yet another in the land of the bland.
re: addlepated
yes, agreed!
re: addlepated
i knew torchy's was going to make this list and honestly i don't get it. It's one of those places that hounds seem to love to hate on. For bkfst tacos and the others for that matter i think they are great. I have gone to food trailers all over town that are highly touted and don't find most of them any better.
I think i'm going to start a thread:
Places that hounds love to hate on but i like.
Torchy's would be on the list. So would Salt Lick. Granted it isn't in the rarified company of the top tier of BBQ places, but it is hardly terrible as i've seen it called on these boards.
re: TroyTempest
Torchy's sucks b/c it seems like half of their sauces (salsas?0 are ranch-based glop. The tortillas are blatantly terrible. The mr Pink taco was good enough, but otherwise, really don't look for chicken tenders, fried avocado pieces, or sausage links on my tacos. If I want a good bfast taco, there are tons of other better places. Mi Ranchito...Arandina's...etc. It's just so mediocre.
I do like Salt Lick.
re: NirvRush
I agree with you on the ranch dressing, but the other half of their salsas are good. The tortillas aren't homemade, but other than that neither are 90% of those in town.
I also think they are over priced, bit i respect that they are trying to do something a little different than the mainstream. Hell, i like fried avocado, sausage, and brisket. Granted their brisket isn't J. Mueller's.
Overpriced? Probably. Overrated? Maybe. Suck? Not to me.
re: NirvRush
Well said. I am actually a fan of Taco Shack just down the road (speaking of the Spicewood locations for both here.) Taco Shack is not exactly gourmet either- but I think they "get" the concept of basic better than Torchy's, and execute better as a result.
re: elpaninaro
I actually like Torchy's, but I've gotta say that it's sorta become its own weird entity. It's definitely not authentic nor tex mex... it's just... Torchy's.
My one main beef with the place that kinda drives me nuts... when I first started going there like 5+ years ago, the tacos were significantly smaller (but still plenty to eat). At some point they started getting more Texas-sized and are a total bitch to eat now. I can't even order corn tortillas anymore, because they disintegrate in like 30 seconds from all the stuff jammed inside.
re: popvulture
Yes, Torchy's does so many things wrong or half-assed but still manages to pull it off. When they try to be authentic they're blah, like their breakfast tacos, but their are times when only a fried chicken and queso taco will do.
re: popvulture
That's the perfect description of it. It's what I say about Chuy's too. It's not authentic, it's not tex-mex, it's just Chuy's.
I used to absolutely hate Torchy's, but then I found the baja shrimp taco, and now I'm in love. Albeit only with that taco. Everything else I've tried outside of that and the queso has been terrible.
re: elpaninaro
I used to really like Taco Shack, but the salsa is pretty mediocre. And only one salsa. My go to breakfast taco is bacon, egg and potato and i like it when it is all cooked together. Mi Victoria on Burnet does this real well. At the Shack they obviously spoon the eggs, potato and a slice of bacon. All kind of separate.
re: TroyTempest
I don't eat salsa, so I have not had this issue- but I have heard it from others.
Taco Shack works for me so well because I like bacon, potato and cheese tacos- with a good sharp cheddar and the bacon very well done. So their specific ingredients work well for what I am after.
Agree with you on cooking it all together- that makes a huge difference in my book when there are eggs involved.
re: elpaninaro
Just had breakfast tacos from the Taco Shack on Guadalupe & 29th this morning. I had fond memories of eating there when I was a student. I should have treasured my memories and gotten breakfast at Taco Cabana. Or heck, Whataburger. At least Whataburger toasts up the tortillas a little. Everything from Taco Shack was limp.
re: TroyTempest
I agree with you. The only thing that I have tried that really turns me on is the Brushfire but I swear it is the best taco I have ever had anywhere! It is just absolutely addicting. I usually also get a milder one to help put out the fire though.
re: TroyTempest
I love Salt Lick, so there. ;) And I dig on their sweet sauce, too!
re: TroyTempest
Sounds fun - better hurry and start that thread before I do!
re: rudeboy
You can start it if you like. It's ok by me.
re: TroyTempest
I prefer Taco Deli to Torchy's - in a landslide.
re: Pmd669
Are they the ones that put mashed potatoes on their potato and egg tacos?
re: addlepated
re: dinaofdoom
Tacodeli is awesome! I just avoid the mashed potatoes. Actually I don't really think of it for a bfast destination. But the mole is great. Love the fish tacos. Delicious spinach salad.
re: NirvRush
Man I LOVE their potatoes... they're weird for tacos, yes, but daaaaaamn good. Bean, papas & cheese taco with Doña sauce on it? Yes, please.
re: popvulture
i would eat almost anything with doña sauce on it.
Does everybody mean hounds or just people in the city? Because, MER and Hut's are routinely panned on this board. As are other popular spots, such as Guero's, Threadgill's and Chuy's. Im fact as far as Hounds are concerned all those that i have mentioned get more bad than good ratings on the Austin board.
re: TroyTempest
I took it to mean "everybody" in the city.
re: rudeboy
I was thinking everybody, but whatever.
Curra's. I have lots of friends who love it, but I'd always, always rather go to Polvos. The food I've had at Curra's has always been mediocre at best, and the only thing I'd really bother recommending at all is the avocado margarita.
Also TOTALLY agree about Maudie's. Not a fan at all.
re: popvulture
Haha and I'll also add that I like MER. I've gotten a lot of s**t for it, but I don't care.
La Condesa for Sunday brunch. I finally made it over there last weekend- and to be fair to them, I came in fresh off a very long swim workout and so was in a heightened mood of needing to eat a lot of good food very quickly.
The brunch menu was ridiculously short and overly complicated in terms of the offerings. Too many elements, and an attempt to sound sophisticated but it would only make sense to someone who knew nothing and wanted eagerly to seem like they "got it".
I asked if I could do a custom order- from the lunch menu which has more simple fare, and I had picked a couple of dishes using the same basic slow cooked meats on the brunch menu (ie already done and ready for brunch).
The waiter gave a very flat "no". So I ordered nothing. And at that point- in the eyes of the waiter I was a nobody. Not even water refills from that point.
My friend did order, and as I anticipated given the read of the menu and the fact the place was half empty, what arrived looked like a train wreck of many elements assembled with no sensical intent other than to try and appear pretty (which the dish did not- a "brownie" of quinoa with undercooked poached eggs and a very unattractive heavy sauce with greens on the side.)
To top it all off, my friend's coffee order- placed and reminded to the waiter 3 times- finally came at the end of the meal, and from someone else who we asked in desperation.
Such a bad experience, I have no intentions of giving them another chance. And that is rare for me- more than once I have given second chances based on this board's recommendations and was glad I did.
re: elpaninaro
That's a situation warranting my Mom's famous "2 cent tip." To insure proper service the next time. I will say, though, the one time I went there (night), I got wonderful, professional service. Brunch can be a weird thing......
re: rudeboy
The whole situation was strange- which is one reason it really stuck in my mind. As I sat there not eating, I had lots of time to observe, and what I saw was a bad case of "I am just here doing my job" on all fronts. There was no shortage of staff in the restaurant- and they were spending their time chatting at the coffee machine in the corner. This is why I suspect the place is on the verge of closing. A shame.
re: elpaninaro
I don't think they are going to close any time soon. They've even turned into a chain of sorts with a location in St Helena, CA and soon in Los Angeles. Plus, they are spinning out a thai food (?) restaurant soon in Austin.
re: elpaninaro
I've found La Condesa likes to strictly enforce their kitchen rules no matter how silly.
For instance, they used to have 'fancy' nachos available on their dinner menu, but now they are only available on the bar menu. I went one time for an early dinner and the dining room was empty except for one other couple. Even so, they steadfastly refused to serve the nachos in their dining room as an appetizer even though we were ordering a complete meal.
re: elpaninaro
I'm convinced brunch is just a bad meal to judge a place by. Iron Cactus has a good menu but the brunch sucks. I was told Jack Allen's is very good but the brunch was lousy. For me Max's Wine Dive is the only brunch place that delivers but they didn't, until recently, have a brunch buffet.
By the way, several years ago, my husband and I went to Matt's to see what all the hype was about. We were seated promptly. And then ignored for half an hour. And by ignored, I mean that the waiters were openly ducking us and avoiding eye contact as we tried to signal someone to even bring us a glass of water. We walked out of there so pissed off. We mentioned something to the host as we left, and we have never been back, nor do we plan to. How we were treated was verging on hostile. No idea what we did to warrant it, but I have no intention of darkening their doorstep with my money again.
Top Notch. And Clay Pit.
I agree with Torchy's, Maudie's, and Chez Zee being highly overrated as well.
Ell Pollo Rico chicken. I find the chicken itself is just.... chicken. Often dry and not very flavorful. The rub is just run of the mill stuff, IMO. The green sauce of course, rocks, but don't know why people rave about the chicken.
Looking through the posts, I see everyone has somewhat differing opinions on the Tex-Mex places in town. (For instance, I love Curra's.) So in the non Tex-Mex category for Dishonorable Mention, I give you Hyde Park Bar & Grill. Please, take it. It seems like defenders are always jumping through some hoops to defend it ("did you try the boring salad no one can screw up? it's great at Hyde Park!"). Let's face it, their only redeeming quality is being close to Dolce Vita.
My own personal Tex-Mex hell in town is Polvo's. If Polvo's locked their doors tomorrow I would be so happy. A dump with wretched service and at best inconsistent food.
re: NWLarry
I'll second you on HPB&G. The place looked dirty and the food was meh.
re: NWLarry
I'm with you on Hyde Park... I just don't get it... and I hate their fries... there, I said it...
I suppose if I'm pulling up the grumpy wagon... I also dislike Austin Java... 90% of the time I get food there, there is something wrong with it... I gave up after I was served a muffin that looked like someone had eaten or picked all the edges off of it.
I'm also not a fan of Magnolia. I want to like them... I periodically go back to try to think of a way to like them, but every time I get served the wrong food (and I order off the menu, no substitutions). The last time I was there, I was served a sauce without cheese in it where the waiter literally sniffed it, returned it to me, and said it must just be a mild cheese.
Cippolina is another place others love and I just can't. I really like their sandwiches at lunch, but every time I get something off the dinner menu, it is just a hot(or cold) mess.
Mothers is another place I also don't understand the love. I find most of their items to just be meh... which makes me sad because I'd love to go to a good veggie place.
Okay, grumpy rant off now.
re: shan
Does anyone on this board love places like Mother's, Magnolia, Austin Java, etc? They're not really places you go for the food. I'm not sure why they're popular - I guess they somehow became part of the Austin experience or the kind of places you end up at when plans fall through or no one can decide on where they want to go....
This thread reminds me of the Woody Allen joke: "the food here is terrible!" "And such small portions."
re: ghastlyfop
I thought about naming Mother's, but to me, they aren't really trying to be all things to everyone.
I'm going to be the heretic (waiting to be tarred feathered, and burned at the stake...) and say Uchiko. Sorry folks, this didn't live up to its continually very, very high praises. The food was just very good, not fantastic--interesting flavor combinations but I just don't care for it.
re: ubermoos
You should lock your doors tonight, for sure. Remember the reaction that chowdahead from Seattle got for this review of Uchi:
brattpowered said it best "talking bad of Uchi is apparently tantamount to urinating on Stevie Ray Vaughan's grave."
Two more from me: Asti and Fabi + Rosi. Granted, I've only been to each once, but did not think that they deserved the hype.
re: Rptrane
Yeah... I tried Franklin's, and I tried J Mueller's, and I know where I'm going back.
re: addlepated
It's silly to suggest that people wait in line at Franklin in order to be seen waiting in line. Silly and embarrassing. I don't have 2 hours to wait in line for food anywhere and understand completely why people would not choose to do that. But people do wait because it's excellent BBQ.
re: heyzeus212
Well said.
re: Rptrane
I have to agree. I think before too long the hype will wear thin. Right now I see it as another "Hey did you see me in line at Franklin's?
re: Rptrane
Brisket is excellent, but sauces are awful. Everything else is pretty damn good, but not sure if it justifies the wait/experience.
re: Rptrane
People in Austin love to wait in line for food. See Hopdoddys.

re: sqwertz
Zagat gave it 26 out of 30 because it is good. I have never had a bad slice at HomeSlice. Now most of the time i go to the homeslice 2 or whatever it is called and walk up and order. I'm not a NYer, but i have had pizza in NY, and i think it compares pretty favorably. Supposedly John's on Bleecker arguably is one of the best in NY. I have had it and while it was great, i think homeslice compares favorably with it.
I'd take Home Slice over Saccones, Reales. Tony C's may be better, but not by much.
Now Mangia has never done it for me.
re: TroyTempest
Well, this is the theme of the thread. It is good in your opinion.
The pizzas I have had there, 3 of them on 2 different occasions, have downright sucked (in MY opinion). Dry and tasteless, and the crust heavy. I have never ordered a single slice there.
re: sqwertz
I like Home Slice... I turned my nose up at it after moving here from NY, but I think they've developed into a pretty well-oiled machine. I always get skeptical when anyone outside of NY offers "NY style pizza," but honestly, HS is the only place that's ever gotten close to the real thing, in my opinion.
It's better by the slice there... they usually heat it up in the ovens (just like in NY) before you get it (unless you happen to show up when one's just popped out), so it's nice and crispy on the bottom, but still with a little flop. Hoboken also makes pretty decent NY style pizza, I think, but not as good as HS.
It's not my favorite pizza in town (that'd probably go to House or East Side Pies for me), but I think it's definitely worth another shot if you've had a bad experience.
re: sqwertz
True, it is the the theme. forgot.
When it first opened i went to the big restaurant, but it is so much quicker, cheaper and easier to just go to the other one and get a slice or 2. Of course, when ordering by the slice, you only have the choices of the day, like 4 or so.
re: Mike B
I'll third that. Actually, I think Cover 3 has an excellent burger for the same price range and their fries are fantastic...and no wait.
re: TheBadWolf
I'd say that Maudie's, Kerby Lane, Chez Zee, and Enchilada y Mas are more often found on the "Places Hounds Love to Hate" than this board. And within the last couple of years I'd add Casino El Camino, too.
I think it's called Star Seeds, right off the 35. I remember it while I was at grad. school at UT. I never liked it, even though my friends always insisted on going there.

Astros report: Villar, Santana, Petit playing in winter ball
Four Astros players who were in the majors this season are playing winter ball: shortstop Jonathan Villar, outfielder Domingo Santana, shortstop Gregorio Petit and righty David Martinez. Villar and Santana are playing in their native Dominican Republic, while Petit and Martinez are back home playing in Venezuela. Villar was in the minors for all of […] [Read More]
Gregorio Petit's first major league homer lifts Astros past Blue Jays
Box score Astros shortstop Gregorio Petit has so little service time that he's still considered a rookie despite two previous cameos in the majors and a five-year wait between big league appearances before he returned to the majors last week. So he and his teammates rejoiced a bit more than usual Friday night when Petit […] [Read More]
Missed sign doesn't end up costing Petit, Astros
Astros shortstop Gregorio Petit got away with a missed sign Thursday night when he hit a dribbler to third for an RBI groundout to give the Astros a 5-4 lead in the eventual 6-5 loss over the Blue Jays. After Matt Dominguez hit a one-out double to left in the bottom of the sixth, L.J. […] [Read More]
Gonzalez hoping day of rest is enough for sore hamstring
Shortstop Marwin Gonzalez was back in the starting lineup after sitting out Friday to rest the tender right hamstring that has hampered him for more than a week. "I hope the day off Friday helped me feel better today," he said. The Astros called up minor-league journeyman Gregorio Petit on Friday to provide cover for […] [Read More]
Gregorio Petit rewarded with trip back to major leagues

Trust Assets:
Investment of Trust Assets in Bank Proprietary Mutual Funds
GGD-95-21: Published: Mar 16, 1995. Publicly Released: Mar 16, 1995.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the extent to which banks have invested trust assets into proprietary mutual funds, focusing on: (1) the disclosure and consent requirements that apply when trust assets are invested into these funds; (2) whether double fees on invested trust assets are legal; and (3) the regulatory controls that prevent banks from acting in their own self-interest.
GAO found that: (1) most banks have not invested trust assets in proprietary mutual funds; (2) the majority of funds invested in bank proprietary mutual funds are from non-trust assets; (3) by the end of 1992, about $24 billion in trust assets had been used to start up proprietary mutual funds which represented about 15 percent of the total assets in these funds; (4) the bank industry believed the trust asset investments were understated because the estimates did not take into account conversions and new trust investments; (5) in 1993, about $45 billion in employee benefit and personal trust assets were invested in short-term money market mutual funds; (6) industry and regulatory officials believe that trust investments are becoming more attractive to investors for tax reasons; (7) investment disclosure requirements vary by state and most states that allow proprietary mutual fund investments do not require beneficiary consent; (8) although 8 states are in compliance with the double fee prohibitions on employee accounts, 27 states allow double fees to be charged; (9) most banks lack incentives to charge double fees because of competition and the possibility of federal penalties and beneficiary lawsuits; (10) when investing trust assets, banks are prohibited from acting in their own self-interest, must justify their investments, and are subject to federal review; and (11) the effectiveness of trust examinations could not be determined, since the number of examinations are limited and use of proprietary mutual funds in trusts is new.

When you transition to iOS 8, Apple offers you the option to migrate to iCloud Drive. This effectively replaces Documents and Data , which on previous iterations of iOS, allowed for syncing of files using iCloud. So if you used a text editor like the wonderful Byword, the resulting files or changes could sync between your Mac, iPhone and iPad. There are some developers who don't yet support Cloud Drive. Prior to making the jump to Cloud Drive, you might want to take inventory of which apps are syncing through iCloud. It's an incredibly powerful feature and remains so, despite limited storage and pricing that still falls short of the competition. Here's how to setup iCloud Drive on iOS 8, Mac and PC. … [Read more...]

What to do if your Apple ID account was disabled and how to prevent it
If I were to ask you what was the center of your Apple universe, you'd probably say it's your iPhone, iPad or maybe even your Mac. While all of those play a key role in your happiness, your Apple ID is what makes everything work in unison. In most cases, your Apple ID is used for iCloud, iTunes Store purchases and often it's also your primary email account. When you are logged into the various services, everything just works and it's part of lure of using Apple products. It can also create a 'set and forget' mindset. When you get a new iPhone, iPad or Mac, it's not uncommon to misplace or forget your Apple ID password. It sets in motion a series of events that result in being locked out of your account for hours, if not days. If your … [Read more...]
How to fix iOS 8.0.1 no cell service issue
Apple's iOS 8.0.1 has introduced a nasty bug that breaks cell phone service and Touch ID. From most reports, the issue is specific to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Not Enough Storage Space To Install iOS 8?
iOS 8 is out and many folks are rushing to download Apple's last software release of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

A number of users are attempting to upgrade to iOS 8, only to be informed that they do not have sufficient storage space to complete the upgrade. When people purchase new iPhones, storage concerns usually revolve around how many apps, how much music, video and documents you plan to carry with you. Last year's iOS 7 update, which Apple's CEO Tim Cook proclaimed as the biggest update to iOS since iOS, required 3.3 GB of free space. iOS 8 requires a whopping 5.8GB of free storage space.

As educators we care about plagiarism and preventing plagiarism for lots of reasons. We want students to learn from our assignments and plagiarism gets in the way of that learning. Academics always stand on the shoulders of those who have come before, so we want students to learn to respect the scholarship of others and use it appropriately; plagiarizing signals that students don't understand these key values of the academic world.Continue to full article
Learning by Teaching Others: Writing in a Math-Based Course
Sometimes we teach students to write. Sometimes we use writing to teach something else. Students need practice and guidance to learn the kinds of writing that are valued in different disciplines. But sometimes we need to use writing to help students learn the material or skills we're teaching. The writing to learn approach is especially valuable in courses with a heavy math or technical component as Professor Becky Barlow discusses in this month's featured video interview.Continue to full article
Getting on the Same Page
When I was an undergraduate, I had a course that had a weekly writing assignment. The topic was on the board as we walked into class and the essay was due at the end of the class session. The following class period we got our papers back with a grade at the top, but not a single comment. It was always a mystery to me why I got the grades I got because I had no clear sense of the criteria the professor was using to assign those grades.Continue to full article
Using Writing In Large-Enrolled Courses
As we've explained before, integrating writing into disciplinary courses can happen when we focus not on the formal genres of our disciplines, but on using informal writing activities to help students learn content. These "writing to learn" activities can actually be quite short, even ungraded, and yet be structured in ways that let students work with the content and practice written communication and articulate key concepts in their own words.Continue to full article
I AM Teaching Writing
Engineers, scientists, managers, pharmacists, doctors, financial consultants, poultry production specialists, farmers, conservationists, teachers, entrepreneurs, electricians. Name any field or profession and you'll find writing is a key component of what they do. In fact, there's considerable evidence that no matter what fields our students enter, strong communication skills – especially communication abilities – are what employers look for when hiring and these same communication skills are essential for promotion beyond that entry-level position.Continue to full article

Pay For Me Lyrics - The National
I thought I'd come and you
And your long lazy scene
Instate direction, finger at a magazine.
I'd call you when I need you
I can't get used to your new name.
Send a body double over with your keys
She'll see you in an hour
Everybody quiet please.
Essex house is down the road
The actresses want to be alone.
Your room is still and soft
As a jeweler's.
Incidental music coming down the hall
Remember when I never had to wait for you at all?
I wish my hands were yours as I lay your keys
On a magazine.
Take me to LaGuardia
My baby's gonna pay for me.
Bottle from the duty-free
I'll drink it all across the sea.
Lay me down business class
Headphones and a sleeping mask.
She's gonna pay for me
She's gonna pay for me.
Brother, I wish you were home
Just tell me you're not alone
Call me back; I'm on a plane
I think I'm somewhere over spain.
I'm in the dark without the stars
I've never seen a black so dark
Thought I'd be above the rain
Somewhere on a higher plane.
Oh brother, I wish you were home
My brother, I wish you were home.
Baby, you're asleep by now
You never stayed awake for me
You never waited up for me,
No, you never waited up for me!
Now there's nothing I can do
I lost you but I beat the sound
Couldn't if I wanted to
The cogwheel doesn't turn around!
Oh brother, I wish you were home
My baby is in a room alone.
My brother, I wish you were home.

Kenai Boy, 6, Dies at Anchorage Hospital After Pool Accident
Updated On: Feb 14 2014 11:01:27 AM AKST
A Kenai boy who asked his family to donate his organs if anything ever happened to him died Thursday at an Anchorage hospital after being found at the bottom of a hotel pool last week, according to his family.
In a statement relayed by Providence Alaska Medical Center spokesperson Mikal Canfield, 6-year-old Floyd Murphy's family announced his passing. The family had been visiting Anchorage with a church group Feb. 7 when Murphy was discovered submerged.
"Last night Floyd left us to be with God. We would like to thank the community for the overwhelming show of support for Floyd and our family," family members wrote. "Your love, compassion and prayers have given us strength during this difficult time."
Murphy's family responded to the tragedy, which left their son without oxygen for an estimated 20 minutes, by establishing a Facebook group to pray for his life. While initial medical signs were encouraging, doctors told his parents Tuesday he had no chance of recovery.
The entire family had already decided to donate their organs in the event of a serious medical emergency, during a recent conversation at their dinner table.
Murphy's family plans to hold a celebration of life for him at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, at the Soldotna Church of the Nazarene. Guests are asked to wear blue and yellow.

More reviews by iceprincess0792
I've come across many base coats in my day and because i can get nail polishes and the like dirt cheap I thought I'd try this. It's not bad it really wasn't. But I stil love my diamond dry nails top coat much much better.
I'm sure I will be buying lots and lots of this!!!! It is such a great base coat and it's so much cheaper than OPI's base coats (sorry OPI, you know I still love you). This was recommended to me by a fellow MUAer and I am quite pleased with their recommendation and my purchase :D Love this, will buy again and would highly recommend!!
Stickey Base Coat is a DREAM to work with as it has a very thin consistency and a great brush. It is formulated to really adhere to the nail and has a tacky texture that "sticks" to your nail color. The result is a longer lasting manicure. I REALLY like it, but took one lippie off because it contains some chemicals that are drying to the nail. This forces me to use a treatment base coat every second manicure that doesn't contain these chemicals to help avoid drying out my nails. If Creative could make this without formaldehyde, it would get 5 star!
I like this base coat for pedicures; my manicures still chip and peel using this or not. It tends to get gloppy after some time so keep a nail thinner handy.
HG basecoat. I started using this a few weeks ago and the lasting power of every manicure has improved by at least a couple of days since then. Use this with a quality polish like OPI and Poshe topcoat and you're good to go for at least 5 days with no chips whatsoever, even wearing dark red polish.
This product does its job. For me, a manicure may last for only a few hours and I'll have a chip. My new nail tech hooked me up with Stickey after telling her my stories. The Stickey, then two coats of China Glaze's Laid Back Lilac, lasted for about six days. Great goodness! I bought it for about $4 online through a wonderful store selling professional products, ask if you want to know who.
I didn't know about the Formaldehyde and Tolulene, but until I find something without those that works, I'll stick by Stickey. If you want to ask anything at all, please do so at my account at Makeup Alley. --Kells
Wish I could give this 4.5 lippies. (It would be 5, but I gave 4 because over-usage can cause drying and brittleness.)
This is a great, great, long-lasting base coat - kinda like double-sided tape for your manicure.
Total rave!!! I go to a salon to have my nails done and I've been very happy with the woman who does them but I was unhappy with the base coat that she was using. We tried several different brands including OPI, Essie, etc. and my nails were still peeling a few days later. NOT ANYMORE!!! :)
I brought the Stickey Base Coat to my salon exactly 9 days ago and had a manicure and pedicure. My nails have not chipped or peeled at all! In fact, the only reason I'm re-polishing myself is because my nails grew out and you can see the fresh growth. Otherwise, I'd wait another few days to have them done.
I'm amazed by this product!! I've used the Speedey Top Coat twice since I've had my manicure so that could have helped but I will continue to use these two products together as long as my manicures last this long! And at this price, why not? It saved me from going to the salon 2 weeks in a row like I usually do!
Company Description:
Anchor your nail color to your nail. This soft base coat creates a strong bond between nail color and nail, which prevents future chipping, peeling, and splitting. $5.95 at Ulta continued >>
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
A friend at work told me about this after I complained that I can't get my nail polish to last more than three days. I am really hard on my nails at work and at home. After I used this, my polish stayed on perfectly for five days, and after that only chipped a little. I don't know why my manicurist does not use this, but from now on I'll bring it with me when I have my nails done at the salon.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this base coat! No more chipped nails, no more peeling...just beautiful, even and LASTING manicures! 1 light coat of this and 2 coats of polish and top coat, and I can easily go over a week without need of a touch-up! Works on some of my worst "chip" offenders such as Essie, Hard Candy and the Chanel metallics. Genius!

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A former secretary at a Florida law firm under investigation for fabricating foreclosure documents says the firm's office manager would sign her name to 1,000 files a day and sometimes would allow paralegals to sign her name for her when she got tired.
Kelly Scott, a former assistant at the law offices of David Stern, says in a deposition released Monday that office manager Cheryl Salmons would sign 500 files in the morning and another 500 files in the afternoon with out reviewing them and with no witnesses.
Scott says paralegals would then collect the files and swap them with each other, signing them as witnesses even though they had already been notarized and executed.
An attorney for Stern's firm didn't immediately return a phone call.

Daily Press Summary
David Cameron: There will be a referendum whether or not I have successfully re-negotiated
Appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr show yesterday, Prime Minister David Cameron said he is "upbeat, bullish and optimistic" that he will succeed in renegotiating the UK's EU membership arguing that "The eurozone needs change - it needs a banking union, it needs more fiscal union - and so we're perfectly legitimate to ask for our changes". He added that "I won't become Prime Minister unless I can guarantee that that in/out referendum will be held… we [will] have the referendum whether or not I have successfully negotiated".
On the substance of the renegotiation Cameron stressed that he was not aiming to "put up the barriers" to stop migrants from other EU countries coming to the UK to work. While writing in Conservative Home, Cameron argues that "I have set out, very clearly, what we are renegotiating on: keeping our border controls; cracking down on benefit tourism; securing more trade; getting more control over justice and home affairs; getting a better deal for taxpayers and getting Britain out of "ever closer union… a Europe that is less bureaucratic, less bossy."
Open Europe Director Mats Persson is quoted in the New York Times arguing that a successful revamp of British membership terms is "an attainable goal." Writing in City AM, Open Europe's Christopher Howarth argues that when it comes to the renegotiation, if David Cameron asks "for too little, and he will not be able to persuade the British people things have changed before his 2017 referendum."
Separately, official figures due this week are expected to show that 30,000 Bulgarians and Romanians have come to Britain since restrictions on their entry lapsed in January.

Pro-Russian separatists declare victory in self-rule referendum;
Leaked EU paper concludes sanctions on Russia could have serious long-term implications for German economy
Pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine declared victory in yesterday's independence referendum, claiming that 89% voted in favour of 'self-rule' for Eastern Ukraine with a turnout of 75%. Russia welcomed the results, while the Ukrainian government called the referendum "illegal and illegitimate". There are numerous reports of irregularities in the voting procedure as well as questions over the turnout figures.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, Stern reported on a leaked EU paper which found that import bans on Russian products and asset freezes could cut German growth by 0.3% of GDP this year and 0.1% next year. The report warned the long term implications of sanctions for the German economy could be serious. Open Europe's Nina Schick appeared on BBC World News' Business Edition discussing the EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels today, arguing that the EU won't move beyond expanding targeted sanctions on individuals, and possibly firms, at this point.

Persson: Weakened ECR group in the European Parliament could hinder Cameron's EU reform agenda
The FT reports that the European Conservatives and Reformers group in the European Parliament is set to be weakened after the European elections. Open Europe Director Mats Persson is quoted as saying that "Though no one's fault in particular, [the] Conservatives may be slapped by the double whammy of a weakened ECR group in the parliament, and a weakened Tory party within the ECR. As MEPs will have a decisive say over several items in Cameron's EU renegotiation package, this is worrying."
The Times cites the conclusion of Open Europe's recent European elections briefing that the result of the higher vote share for anti-EU and protest parties of various shades could be to bolster the status quo/federalist bloc at the expense of reform minded parties. Open Europe's briefing is also cited in the Telegraph, Deutsche Wirtschaftsnachrichten and Courrier International.

Writing on his Forbes blog, Open Europe's Raoul Ruparel asks whether there is a bond bubble in peripheral Europe. Raoul concludes that, due to low inflation pulling down borrowing costs, calling it a bubble is premature. However, with complacency seeping in, the side effects could nonetheless be serious as governments see the cheaper interest rates as an excuse to halt reform.

Welt: No agreement on Draghi's near pre-commitment to ease policy in June
Die Welt reports that despite ECB President Mario Draghi's statement on Thursday that the ECB Governing Council feels "comfortable" with taking action to ease monetary policy in June, no clear consensus or agreement over such wording or action had been reached at the council meeting that day. Meanwhile, the leader of Merkel's Bavarian sister party CSU, Horst Seehofer, tells Bild that "we need a veto right for Germany on fundamental questions in the ECB council".

Juncker: Merkel has given me "firm commitment" I will be next Commission President if EPP win European elections
In an interview with Bild am Sonntag, Jean-Claude Juncker, the EPP's leading candidate for the post of European Commission President claimed that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has given him a "firm commitment" that if the centre-right win the European elections, he will definitely get the position. An Emnid opinion poll for the same paper found that only 7% could identify Juncker as the centre-right's leading candidate (13% among CDU/CSU voters) while 17% were able to identify European Parliament President Martin Schulz as the centre-left's leading candidate (23% among SPD voters).

New poll finds lower support for EU membership in France than in the UK
A YouGov poll for Die Welt found that 34% of respondents in France support EU membership while 33% oppose it, compared with 39% and 38% respectively in the UK. The poll found that 57% of respondents in Germany support EU membership with only 23% opposed. Meanwhile, Der Standard reports that according to a poll conducted by the Linz based Market-Institut, 70% of Austrians believe that the EU is on the wrong course, while only 23% believe that it is on the right course.

An Opinium poll for the Observer found that only 11% of UK respondents said they would be confident of naming one of their MEPs compared with 52% who said they would be confident of naming their MP. However, the poll also found 43% think the European Parliament is important in the way Britain is governed while 37% think it is unimportant.
FAZ reports that benefit payments for children who do not live in Germany but whose parents come to the country from other parts of the EU as seasonal workers total €1bn in the period from 2012 to 2014. This follows an ECJ judgement from 2012 which gives seasonal workers coming from EU member states to Germany the right to child benefits even though their children do not live in Germany.

Handelsblatt reports that CDU's so-called "social wing" is calling for Europe-wide cap on executive pay, quoting the vice-chairman of the Christian Democratic Workers' Association Christian Bäumler as saying that "salary excesses endanger not only societal cohesion but create economic risks."
The Telegraph reports that Corinne Vigreux, the co-founder of the TomTom satellite navigation system, has backed Britain's demands for EU reform, arguing that Europe risks missing out on the growth industries and jobs if it continues to operate as a fragmented market.
The Greek Supreme Court has said that neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn will be allowed to run in the upcoming European elections despite a criminal probe into the party and many of its leaders awaiting criminal trials.
The Mail on Sunday reported that the European Commission has ruled that all new vehicles must be fitted with a "black box" for use in emergencies quoting a letter from Transport Minister Robert Goodwill as saying that "the costs to the UK outweigh the benefits. Unfortunately, there is very little support for the UK position and no possibility of blocking this legislation."

This is in reference to the story I related last week about the sick man in the hospital who gave me the secret to his Little Black Book, which contained evidence of bribes/kickbacks/gratuities to city officials.
I challenged this poster to elaborate on why he felt my actions were "appalling," and here is the elaboration. Let's talk about this.
The state was investigating very serious allegations about public corruption; the man in question owned a company that sold (or rented) things to the city at inflated prices -- had he given cash gifts to city officials, as was alleged, this amounted to kickbacks.
I was in his hospital room, having arrived there legally, with legitimate questions to ask. I was not affected by a restraining order, which pertained only to state investigators.
When I saw he looked pretty sick, do you feel I had to leave immediately? Few journalists, or ethicists, would agree. What you do is assess the situation. If you feel you are endangering his life, you leave. If you make an error, you live with the consequences, which would be dire.
We are not playing games here; this was about a serious issue of public concern, and whatever my responsibilities were to this man, I also had conflicting responsibilities to my job, which was discovering the truth.
At no point during this interview did he seem to be in medical distress over and above his clearly weakened condition. He engaged me enthusiastically. As soon as I had what I needed, I left.
Was it wrong to play to his ego, knowing he was enfeebled and (in and out) a little confused? Maybe. You could go either way on that. I think it was okay.
Was it okay to take his pulse? No! A really bad sin, I think. It is the only point at which I was deliberately misleading him. I said that last week.
As to smoking pot: Look, you are a rule follower. I am a rule skeptic. We are not going to agree on this one.
Thanks for writing back.

Another View: Don't mistake our hard-working refugee clients for illegal aliens
Let the truth be known about Holy Cross Family Learning Center on Dubuque Street on Manchester's West Side.
The Family Learning Center opened its doors three years ago to serve the immigrant population of Manchester. We have 120 registered adult men and women who are enrolled in the various classes. They come with their culture and unique gifts and talents, from Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. They all come to learn English so that they can become contributing and responsible New Hampshire citizens. They are not illegals.
Refugees represent a special class of immigrants. Unlike economic migrants, refugees are forced to move against their will in order to save their lives or preserve their freedom. William Gillett of the International Institute says that "in spite of formidable language, culture and other obstacles, our latest results are that 63 percent of refugees in our workforce training program gained employment within 180 days of their arrival."
He continues by stating that "all of the refugees arrived as permanent legal residents of the United States, on the path to full citizenship."
In 2010, 85 percent of recently arrived Americans that came through the refugee resettlement program became taxpayers within one year. Our New Hampshire immigrants, at the price of great sacrifices to themselves and their children, choose to give time to their education. They participate, with great pride, in the various classes and programs offered at the center, namely: English, reading and writing skills, sewing skills, computer classes involving job searches and resume writing, as well as citizenship and civics classes, to name but a few.
Thanks to the support of former Gov. John Lynch, Mayor Ted Gatsas, local businesses and 24 dedicated volunteer retired teachers, Holy Cross Family Learning Center is thriving and contributing to the growth of our city and state. We are proud to be part of the New Hampshire community. Together, great things can continue happening.
I would like you, our anonymous post card writer, to visit our center to see firsthand, the wonderful men and women who enrich our city and state. I think you would be amazingly surprised to experience the joy of learning. As a note, 90 percent of refugees have graduated from high school over the last three years, of those, 93 percent attend college. Learning what is good and beautiful around us never stops. It helps us to see what is real and adds to our happiness.

Last week Ten Ton Hammer brought you an exclusive interview on some of the more combat-focused aspects of Guild Wars 2, such as weapon sets, skills and the traits system. And while saying that we're impressed with what we've seen of combat so far in the game demo would be a gross understatement, that's only one aspect of the much larger gameplay package that Guild Wars 2 has to offer. The story of Tyria and of your character's place in the world are of equal importance, so we set out to discover all we could about personal story and progression in the game as well.
Just how deeply does the personal story rabbit hole go in Guild Wars 2? How will the Hall of Monuments bridge between the two games, and how soon can we expect to learn the details on the specific rewards Guild Wars players can unlock for their characters in Guild Wars 2? All this and much more awaits in the second installment of Ten Ton Hammer's exclusive interview with Game Designer Izzy Cartwright.
Many of the questions for this interview were submitted by members of the Guild Wars 2 community at Ten Ton Hammer, with additional questions by Managing Editor Reuben "Sardu" Waters. We're committed to building a strong community for our Guild Wars 2 site, and giving our readers the opportunity to have their questions asked at events such as gamescom and PAX Prime is only one of the many awesome things we have in store for our readers over the coming months. In the meantime enjoy the second installment of our exclusive Guild Wars 2 interview from PAX Prime!
Question Submitted by Gorlag: How will personality play out in the open world apart from your personal story and home instance? Will there be the ability to affect it in the open world and conversations with personality choices outside of the instanced content?
Game Designer Izzy Cartwright: A lot of that type of stuff is very conversation-based, or reactions from the NPCs. The full extent of those types of interactions I don't actually know, but I do know that there's a lot of that kind of stuff. The decisions you make, especially the important ones such as the orphanage burning in your home instance, that's something we do feel is one of the important decisions you'll make, and we do have a bunch of those key decisions. And the NPCs do react to those things.
One of the things that I know we do have a lot of and that we do plan on is the personality aspect to the game where you get to be ferocious or charming and things. The NPCs in the game will interact with you, so that you can walk around them and if you're really ferocious they may cower to you. If you're really charming they may be excited to see you. So we do have a lot of NPCs reacting to things that you do and the personalities that you become, or even with your background if you're a noble they may react to you in different ways.
Another cool part of that is, depending on your personality, it will give you more options in your personal story in that if you're ferocious you may be able to bully someone in a way that you weren't able to. Or you may be able to charm someone in your story that you weren't able to before. And all of that will happen both outside in the persistent world and inside of instanced parts of the world.
But we do kind of have to be careful with that because you might burn down an orphanage but you might save a hospital so we've always got to be able to play with those different things. But with the personality parts, an NPC can cower to you but be in love with someone else depending on those types of choices. We're kind of exploring and pushing that to its limits in terms of ways the world will interact.
Ten Ton Hammer: Will some of your personal story be visually represented with objects or trophies you can collect in your home instance?
Izzy: Your home instance will have a lot of different things you can interact with such as saving NPCs, putting different things in there etc. So not only will you see that orphanage, but there's also a lot of smaller things that you'll be able to do and collect in there. It's really your trophy cage of your story and of your character and it's a place you'll care about because your story really matters there.
