Now that AMC has closed the DUpont Circle 6, I hope the Uptown (which can't make any money during the week during a movie that has been out awhile) is not next!
The reason that your national guard commercial sounded better at the UPTOWN is most likely that the uptown is still using actual film stock for their pre show commercials thereby using the same sound setup that they would use for the movie. If I remember correctly the uptown still just has the slide projector for ads, while MAZZA is part of AMC's National Cinemedia Network so that the commercials are being run through the HD projector and the sound is being presented through an aux or non-sync channel which is not as rich as the 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Digital systems.
Yes Howard you are right. The Uptown did have the D.C. premiere of "Charlie Wilson's War" that week.
I meant to continue: as far as I'm concerned, there's no other film experience like the Uptown from New York to D.C. I certainly hope the Uptown continues to show movies!
JodarMovieFan, Mazza Gallerie's auditoriums WERE THX certified when GCC opened it in 2000. I saw Day After Tomorrow June 2004 at the Ziegfeld, so you haven't been to the Mazza Gallerie in awhile. AMC didn't present a THX trailer on Sunday. The National Guard trailer looked small on the Mazza screen (Aud 2) compared to the Uptown, and the Mazza did not have the sound turned up for it! Sound better for the movie, but not compared to the Uptown sound which rocks! They told me biggest Aud is 1. 1 & 2 are first in. I've seen one movie each in Auds 1 to 4.
I don't know what AMC plans are, whether they depart the Uptown next year.
Howard, but all of Mazza's screens are THX certified! How can this be?? Actually, at Mazza, my favorite is the largest one as you get off the escalator. I'm assuming its #1, but am not 100% sure. The sound is always terrific with discernible surround sounds and good sight lines. The last movie I saw there (#1) was..Day After Tomorrow.
Any word on its possible demise? Or it being sold? (The Uptown, not Mazza)
I saw "I am Legend" 7 PM Saturday eve. I'd rather union projectionists but the projection was fine. Sound was great- the Uptown always has one of the most powerful sound systems on Earth!
Sunday, I saw Charlie Wilson's War at the Mazza Gallerie. The National Guard commercial, showing helicopters & soldiers, wasn't one bit as impressive as it was at the Uptown's screen the day before!
Washington Post mentioned a D.C. premiere of "Charlie Wilson's War" the week before. Piddy, was that at the Uptown?
The Washington Post
Date: Oct 29, 1936 (NOT 1933)
The Uptown Theater, Warner Bros, new picture playhouse, located on Connecticut avenue at Newark street, will be dedicated this Thursday evening, October 29, at 8:15 o'clock, according to an announcement made late yesterday by John J. Payette, Warner Bros, gen- eral zone manager.
It's the premiere of "Lions for Lambs" this Wednesday.
Somewhere online says "Blade Runner, the Final Cut" is a 2 week engagement.
There's no movie listed online at AMC website for this Wednesday.
Perhaps the premiere of "Lions for Lambs" or "No Country for Old Men"?
I was there for the Saturday screening of BLADE RUNNER and the projection and sound were great. Let us hope that this theatre stays open. There is nothing like seeing a film on the giant curved screen.
The Senator engagement has been postponed indefinitely due to the popularity of "Michael Clayton" at least through 11/1. Good for them as they need the patronage.
As for the Uptown…the AMC/Moviewatcher website indicates showtimes of 1, 4, 7 and 10pm, respectively.
As far as any DC area digital projection engagements, none are indicated at this time. Looks like DC has the exclusive.
idlewild, what is your source for this information about the opening(s) at the Uptown (and Senator) – I know that the Senator has the info up on their website, but AMC or even the folks at the Uptown have no clue this is opening this coming Friday. I would feel like an utter fool if this isn't happening, since I've been posting your info on a few websites.
Choices, choices and more choices. The Uptown will have the superior viewing experience given its sheer screen size. The Senator has an excellent sound system when done right but its screen is smaller. Landmark Baltimore will probably get a DP version and is NEW. Heck, I may have to see it in all three venues :)
BLADE RUNNER: THE FINAL CUT will open in Washington,DC exclusively at the Uptown Theatre on Oct. 26, 2007. The film will also open in Baltimore, MD at The Senator on Oct. 26, 2007 and at the Landmark Harbor East on Nov. 9, 2007.
Yes, after receiving Senator email, I was about to mention it on the Senator page when you beat me to the punch. It will only be ONE week at the Senator.
I don't know if AMC will have the smarts to put Blade Runner: The Final Cut at the Uptown, but it would be great if they did.
The Tenley 3 was here before. I remember commenting on it. GRR. I suspect when Cinema Treasures moved to a new server some info was lost. I know some of my comments went missing.
Re: Blade Runner. Baltimore's Senator is touting a 'new 35mm' print sometime after Oct 26. Perhaps the Uptown will get a chance at an exclusive run since there is at least one film print from The Final Cut.
I'm sure nobody noticed last week when the Tenley Circle finally was entered, because it arrived under the name of a new theater that's there. I saw many movies at the Tenley and will comment on that page. For others who might also wish to comment, please go to this page:
so… getting back to the original topic on hand since it's diverged to Blade Runner – which is only getting theatrical exclusive run in NYC and LA only (boo, hiss, Warners come on), and digital projection (which the Uptown sadly doesn't have). What's the story about the future of the theatre – is AMC still toying with the idea of not renewing it's lease come next Spring? Or has the commitment to satellite feed the McLean Bible Church secured the Uptown for being open longer? I don't believe anyone did answer this question directly, if this is digitally fed through a yet to be determined server – is in fact AMC upgrading to a digital projection system – the Kinoton projector that Steve mentioned sounds great, or even NEC's system that was specifically built for very large theatres (the Arclight, Ziegfeld, Seattle's Cinerama all feature NEC's DLP system).
"Look as good" is a tough question to answer. The simple facts are that 4K resolution digital is only as good as 1.85 35mm (.446 x .825"). This does not speak to the color aspects of which film has a greater range as well as better contrast ratio. For 70mm, you are dealing with a substantially larger image area (projection size of .870 x 1.912"). 8K digital is not going to capture it all with the color and contrast again still superior with film.
So, in the strictest sense, given an "EK" print from the original release, no today's digitally remastered version will not have as good a resolution, contrast nor color. However, it sure seems like they are using the best of today's technology to yield as faithful a reproduction of the original.
But lets look at other factors….you probably didn't see an EK print back then (Off camera original) but a dupe print that went through the whole IN/IP process. So the edge in contrast and resolution gets very narrowed with the film versus digital.
Now take into account the projection system you saw the film on…how good was it? Any image stability issues in projector (or printing for that matter) come off of resolution. This is why 70mm projection, even from a blow-up is significantly better than a standard release print in 35mm…theatrical projection gets a significant improvement in steadiness as well as having more resolution for the IN/rellease print steps.
Kinoton (projector manufacturer) just this year released their "premiere" line of film projectors (uses an electronic intermittent) that is 4-5 times steadier than their previous version of their "E" series projector…that 4-5 times steadiness improvement will improve sharpness and actually allow one to resolve more of what is on the film.
So, as you can see it is very difficult to play a strict numbers game on will today's film or digital print look as good or better after digital remastering. As a rule, in 2007, going into the digital domain almost always takes away from film original. 2K DIs are just plain horrible…they lower the bar way too much. At least Blade Runner looks like it went with notably better digital processing.
A fascinating article, Howard. Thanks for finding it and sharing it with us. Its too bad DC never got a 70mm engagement for this film at any time since its release in '82. I've been a fan of Ridley Scott's work since Alien and also the Visual Effects Director, Douglas Trumbull since Close Encounters. Let's say the combination of Ridley Scott's attention to detail and Doug Trumbull's flair for technical detail and brilliance with his choice of 65mm film for visual fx make Blade Runner a unique theatrical experience.
As I posted on the Ziegfeld Theater site, I believe the special engagement print refers to film and not a digital presentation. As I write this, I'm virtually drooling at the thought that they did 8K scans of the visual effects and high scans of the film from the original 65mm negatives. If the master remains at such a high level and gets transferred to film, it should play very well, better than anything done natively on 35mm film stock for sure, even if you're dealing with reduced elements.
I forget the website but there was a comparison of true 70mm to 20K or 21K digital based on some mathematical formulation of digital projection and film. The only true 70mm film I can recall seeing is 2001 and probably the remastered and reissued Vertigo several years ago. Those presentations, as you know, were spectacular and probably something we will never see again except for those periodic limited-run special re-releases.
Whatever ends up at the Ziegfeld, let's hope we can get it over here to DC. If its film, the Uptown would be good to have it as long as its properly run. Or heck, send it to AFI. At least it will be in one of their THX certified theaters.
oops- the "Can't wait for this one. I may have to take the day off" comment is from the Ziegfeld poster, not me. I might go there & see it, though.
Steve Guttag- you are an expert.
It seems that the NYC Ziegfeld digital projector will show a digital print (if I understand this correctly). Will it look as good as the original 70 mm print? or at least, will it look as good as 35 mm?I myself saw the version shown at the Uptown only in 35 mm in 1998 at WB 75th Anniv Film Festival. Blade Runner looked great on the Uptown screen then. I hadn't fallen too much for the movie on TV, but on the big screen…
this from the Ziegfeld thread, which I place here as I'm not sure whether you are reading that thread, but feel feel to comment there
or here, of course-Can't wait for this one.
I may have to take the day off.

Deckard is a Blade Runner, a police man of the future who hunts down and terminates replicants, artificially created humans. He wants to get out of the force, but is drawn back in when 4 "skin jobs", a slang term for replicants, hijack a ship back to Earth. The city that Deckard must search for his prey is a huge, sprawling, bleak vision of the future. This film questions what it is to be human, and why life is so precious.
Friday October 5th – Thursday October 18th (New Print)
<<All of this was occurring as the fifth version â€" Scott's final cut â€" was painstakingly assembled from original elements, including the original 65mm negative. De Lauzirika has been working on it over a seven-year period. "And this time, Ridley approved every single thing that went into it â€" every single cut, every single effect,†he says."We're right back to square one,†Galvao says of The Final Cut elements. "We scanned the cut negative, plus the negatives we dug out of vaults in England, here at Warner Bros., and [co-executive producer] Jerry Perenchio's vault as well. We went through and viewed every frame of every roll that we could find.†"Honestly, I got to go through 977 boxes and cans of mag, IP, INs, 65mm visual effects comps, 35mm original dailies … everything ever printed,†de Lauzirika says. "I saw amazing, amazing material â€" much of which we've been able to pull and put on the DVD in some form, even if it didn't make it into The Final Cut."I think The Final Cut is the best version of them all. The picture and sound on it are just astounding. We really put a lot of work into the restoration, and we transferred the actual original neg at 4K, and it just looks stunning. Even more stunning are the visual effects, which were originally 65mm elements, then scanned at 8K. It looks like 3D. It's so sharp, with all these details that I'd never seen before.â€
According to Galvao, the assembly and restoration for The Final Cut included some reworking of the original effects â€" tightening some mattes, doing some wire removal, etc.>>

Health officials advise Saskatchewan residents to take precautions against mosquitoes, as the weather warms up and the risk of West Nile Virus increases.
West Nile Virus (WNV) is present in Saskatchewan during summer, and the risk typically peaks between mid-July and September. The virus is transmitted through the bite of infected Culex tarsalis mosquitoes.
Most people who become infected with WNV experience no immediate symptoms or have very mild illness (fever, headaches, body aches). A small number of people develop a more serious illness called West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease, which includes encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. The elderly and people with certain medical conditions are at higher risk of developing the severe form of WNV infection.
"Most West Nile Virus infections usually improve on their own, so there is no need to seek medical attention or to get laboratory tests," Saskatchewan's Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said. "However, if you develop serious symptoms such as severe headaches, persistent high fever with stiff neck, confusion, seizures, or paralysis, see a health care provider immediately."
"The number of infected Culex tarsalis mosquitoes may rise quickly if we get prolonged hot, dry weather in July and August," Provincial West Nile Virus Coordinator Phil Curry said. "If you plan to be outside when mosquitoes are active, take precautions to protect yourself from bites."
Some precautionary actions would be to use appropriate insect repellent when outside, DEET proves to be most effective.
Light coloured, loose fitting, long sleeved tops and long pants provide protection from bites.
Reducing the amount of time spent outside between dusk and dawn as well as reducing mosquito habitats around the house and yard is also desired.
Updated information on WNV including risk levels and maps and surveillance results will be posted every Friday before noon on www.saskatchewan.ca/westnile.

Got a little time on Sunday to read the story behind the story? How about a video that will make you cry, in a good way? I spend a couple of hours on Saturdays looking for stories and items worth sharing.
Videos that will make you cry
- About 3 million people have shared the Thai video of the man doing good deeds posted by Tina Love. If it makes you all warm and fuzzy, feel free to pass it on.
- If you think that was good, more than 19 million people have shared the video of Father Ray Kelly who did not end the wedding ceremony of Chris and Leah O'Kane as planned. Instead, a backing track mysteriously begins and Kelly launches into a rewritten version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," customized just for the newly married couple. He has pipes, by the way.
- My top 10 picks of Associated Press photos for the past week.
- Here are The Journal Gazette's top photos of the week.
Stories behind the story
- Stephen Colbert gains a show, but he's losing some character. The Journal Gazette ran a column Saturday by Alexandra Petri, a columnist for the Washington Post. She says that the character "Stephen Colbert" is a lot more interesting than the real guy.
- 007: Who are the hit men? Author Malcolm Mackay wrote about the mystery of how a person evolves into being a professional killer in an interesting piece for the New York Times SundayReview.
- Forget what you thought. How victims get trapped in sex traffic. Aaron Martinez, Amanda Bankston and Mark Lambie did an in-depth package in the El Paso Times, showing how victims end up in the sex-traffic trade.

I can't say enough how pleased we are with the service. Brian always explains what he has to do to get the problem fixed and gives a time estimate. Very useful when it's your day off. This is the third time we have used Absolute Plumbing and wouldn't dream of using anyone else. Thank you!!!
Very satisfied with Absolute Plumbing
Clark Covey - Oct 29, 2014
Recently, while attempting to replace a commode, I realized the connection for the supply line was neither 1/2" or 3/8", but larger. Rather than try to find a hose to fit, I decided to replace the connection but soon discovered it was beyond my capability. On top of that, we also were notified that the meter box had a leak. My wife scheduled an appointment online and a couple of days later, they're doing the repairs. The work was completed in less than two hours & I was happy!
Great fast service
M.R. - Oct 3, 2014
Great people fixed my issues in a few minutes and they showed me how to fix a few of them on my own.
Excellent service!

We used Absolute Plumbing to switch our cooktop from electric to gas. This is not a quick easy project! Michael was honest about what we should expect; on time, every time; answered all my emails; made sure the project was complete; and the final invoice was exactly what was quoted. When, despite our best measurements, our new cooktop didn't fit, he was so gracious while helping us find one that did. I will call again and recommend Absolute Plumbing to my friends.
Kitchen clog fixed
Dee R - Sep 15, 2014
Brian was on time (early actually), and quickly removed the debris in the pipe to clear the clog. We have used Absolute for various repairs including exterior faucet repair and hot water heater replacement. When Draino wouldn't unclog the kitchen sink there was no hesitation who to call. The online scheduling was easy, and Brian kept in touch via cell to let me know he was on his way (early!).

For months now, some F20 1 Series and F30 3 Series owners have been reporting a rust issue with their front seats. For some, it's just a nuisance and a bad feeling about the build quality of their BMWs, but for others it's a serious defect.
One Korean F30 3 Series owner was so fed up with the issue that he has destroyed his F30 in protest. Driving to the BMW offices in Korea, he smashed his front windshield and spray painted his 3 … CONTINUED
The 2012 Essen Motor Show is underway and BMW has trotted out many of its models showcasing BMW M Performance Parts. Of particular note is the debut of the F31 3 Series Touring with M Performance Parts.
The F31 and F11 generally share the M Performance Parts from the sedan versions [recent F30 gallery] – including black kidney grilles, front bumper splitters (carbon fiber for the F11), carbon fiber mirror caps, rear diffuser, side skirt trim, M Performance brakes, M Performance exhaust system [recent sample video] … CONTINUED
Have a look at a visual comparison between the just fully revealed 3 Series GT against the 5 Series GT.
From BMW's November 2012 sales numbers, here are some updated sales stats for the 3 series.
10,776 3 Series were sold in November 2012, representing a 42.4% increase over November 2011.
88,857 3 Series have been sold year-to-date in 2012, an increase of 3.5% over same period last year.
It appears that 3 Series sales are doing just fine, contrary to what some naysayers may claim.
Here are the first fully revealed 2013 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo (GT) cars! These two 3 Series GT models, in two different trims, were just spied during a BMW video shoot.
The 3 Series GT shares a similar front fascia look to the F30 3 series sedan, and a tail end which, although still a bit ungainly, is somewhat sportier than that on the 5 Series GT. Although the 3 Series GT (F34) shares a similar front end to the 3 Series sedan, design which … CONTINUED
This video demonstrates the Adaptive High Beam Assistant in the 2012 BMW 328i.
Currently, only the F30 and F01/F02 (7 Series) LCI (facelift) possess this new High Beam Assistant where the system is variable, and not just "ON/OFF".
In the first of the 3 clips in this video, both left and right headlights are used for high beam as if you have manually pushed the stalk. The second and third clip show motorway driving and this is where High Beam Assist becomes more variable. At most … CONTINUED

Truth in Menus
If you read "Maryland Crab Cakes", would you expect Maryland crab or Maryland style (if there is such a thing)? Who enforces truth in menus? If the menu reads Maryland Crab Cakes, I believe I should be paying for Maryland crab not South America Crab...
re: smartie
French Onion Soup derived its name because the French created in the 17th century and it is part of French cooking technique (name earned). English tea is actually named for the popular ritual of English High Tea (name earned). But as far as I know Maryland did not create crab cakes nor does it have a style of cuisine all of its own.
re: CIAinDC
Actually, "high tea" is an English working-man's supper consisting of sausage, pie etc served at around 5 pm. When Americans say "High Tea" and mean some high-falutin' pretentious ritual of fancy finger sandwiches and silver service, that is actually called "Low Tea". Because it's served at a lower hour such as at 2 pm.
To me, "Maryland Crabcakes" to me means in the style that is commonly made in the mid-Atlantic region. If I see a sign that says "Kosher Deli" I'd never assume they strictly follow Kosher laws; rather I'd take it to mean they serve things loosely based on that style and tradition.
But if a place says "organic" or "local" when it's not or calls it snapper when it's rockfish, that to me is fraud. Such places should be exposed to the public and fined. It's fraud.
re: Leonardo
I live in NY and actually, I think if it says "Kosher Deli" it really is Kosher. At least around me that's true. Maybe elsewhere in the country...
re: DGresh
hmm i made much the same comment and it got removed.. i have no clue why.. in it i mentioned why despite my jewish raising i am not kosher - how can anyone find a truthful anecdote about myself as offensive?
anyhow w/out going back into anything as offensive as my own life
i cannot agree about kosher. to people who are kosher, or halal, or anything of that sort, it is very important, so if you call your place kosher it had better be. if you are not call yourself a jewish deli, or a NY deli, or even (though i find it a very odd phrase) kosher style
re: thew
Oh yes it's important! The bakery I run is certified Kosher with rabbinical supervision, but we bake on Saturdays. One of the local rabbi's gives us a hard time about this issue, so we have removed our Kosher Certificate and now tell customers that while we use all Kosher ingredients, we are a "Jewish-Style" bakery. Whatever that means, as you said.
re: Catskillgirl
i don't think baking on saturday "dekoshers" your food. one of the nice things about judaism is the ability to compartmentalize your beliefs and actions w/out excommunication.
re: thew
There are many degrees of Kosher-ness (hey, if you can say "dekosher" I can say "kosher-ness"). I am careful to let people know that if it is an issue for them, they would be better served at another bakery. Lots of our customers like the idea of the products being kosher, but it doesn't bother them that we have cheese products for sale along with the parve stuff. Around the holidays (Rosh Hoshanna is HUGE here) it does become sticky - I would never mislead someone to whom being kosher or not really matters.
The only one that bothers jfood is "homemade".
The rest are just adjectives to give a description, not a geographic location of the kitchen or the ingredients
I may be inclined to think the crab is from Maryland as well. I mean-why mention Maryland at all unless the crab is from there? Isn't that region known for crab that is sweet, superior and wonderful in a cake form? They need to just call them crab cakes. Then again I'm thinking I'm not so highly refined (or crab cake experienced) that I would detect the differences between the two. But I would know what I liked and if I liked the non-Maryland Maryland Crab Cakes, I would be ok with that. Though I am fairly certain the other night that I ordered sole and was given salmon (over pasta). Pink but not oily. Blah. I just re-read what I typed and I SWEAR I've only had 1 glass of wine.
re: Boccone Dolce
To me, it's like ordering Kobe beef but getting Grade A. Or ordering organic whatever and not getting it. Although I would eat (let's say) chicken if it weren't organic, if the menu said it was I would understand why I was paying extra. Now if I am paying extra and I don't get organic, then I think I've been cheated.
I get the French onion comparison, but I don't think it applies in this case as i'm not sure that Maryland Crab Cakes differ from Crab Cakes other than the crab used. French onion soup means you'll be getting a big glob of cheese and bread on top of the onion soup, so calling it onion soup wouldn't do it justice.
"Truth in Menus" and "Crab" goes much further with me. Whenever I see crab listed as the main ingredient, I ask the wait person "Is it crab or is it imitation krab" Invariably they get a quizzical look on their faces and say they have to find out. Twice now I've been told something was real crab and ordered it. When it arrived it was obviously imitation "krab". In one instance the waitress said, "But the kitchen told me it was real crab!" to which I replied, "then the kitchen obviously lied to you!" Please, please, all you working cooks and chefs out there, when asked this question by a patron, TELL THE TRUTH!
re: morwen
You're assuming they know the difference. What's the line?: "never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by ignorance" or some such thing?
re: ccbweb
If a chef or a professional cook can't tell the difference between a package of imitation krab and a container of real crab, then I have serious doubts about their cooking abilities not to mention their reading skills and eyesight. Imitation krab does not taste like real crab. Imitation krab looks nothing like the real thing, shredded or in pieces. Imitation krab is required to be labeled as imitation. If someone asks if it's real crab when what they're serving is imitation and they reply yes it is, that not only is fraud but an insult to the customer when a plate of processed, flavored, reshaped whitefish arrives. Is that malicious? Maybe not, but it surely implies contempt for the customer and intent to defraud. I will not pay crab prices for flavored, reshaped whitefish.
re: morwen
I agree with you. Entirely. I also honestly think you're giving the majority of folks too much credit. I really do think that there are a fair number of folks working in kitchen who don't actually know the difference despite the complete truth of what you point out.
The end result is the same, clearly: bad food they're attempting to sell as good product.
re: grampart
I will never live down the horrified look I gave my sister and the waiter when sis ordered a dolphin sandwich on Key Biscayne. I was all of 10 at the time and can still remember being just aghast at the thought of eating dolphin!
re: Catskillgirl
"Dolphin" or Mahi Mahi, is usually what is served at eateries. Although often called "dolphin" it is really a dolphinfish. It is unrelated to the other dolphins. Dolphins are mammals and their tails are horizontal, they are warm blooded, intelligent and breathe air. Mahi Mahi is a cold blooded fish and has a vertical tail. Some people do eat the mammal dolphin, but it's not what is commonly served at restaurants. At least not in the U.S.
re: scuzzo
Thank you, my sis informed me of the difference before I had to leave the table! I had just never heard of the fish and assumed that it was the mammal she was ordering. As I said, I was 10 years old and not too bright. *G* But I did not know that Mahi Mahi is dolphinfish! That's interesting. I've never tried it, but thought they were two different fishes.
re: Catskillgirl
It is also commonly known as Dorado (dorado maverikos) in some pats of the world.
On a previous post on this board on April 9th: 'Are You Getting What You Ordered' (topic #507638), I also highlighted some of the sheer fraud that is going on in the business...Being vocal about it is perhaps one of the best deterrents.
Unless it specifically says its made from Maryland or Chesapeake blue crabs, I assume it means "Maryland" the way "New England Clam Chowder" means "New England" - a style, not provenance.
There's not nearly enough Maryland blue crab to go around, so if it's not expensive when away from the area, do not assume it's from there.
re: Karl S
This is also a good rule when ordering a grouper sandwich in Florida. If the said sandwich is $8.99 you can rest assured it's either not fresh Fla grouper and is either a frozen grouper species from Asia or an unknown species lurking as an imposter.
re: Karl S
Ahhhhhh I am beginning to change my mind Karl. I got the New England thing as 'style' - i.e. New England vs. Manhattan.
I'm just not familiar with crabcake styles to think of others. All that comes to mind are the crabbycakes from Spongebob Squarepants cartoons.
re: Karl S
So what is "Maryland" style? What are the ingredients exclusive to this style and no other? Or maybe the cooking technique? What is the difference between "Maryland Crab Cakes" and plain old crab cakes?
re: CIAinDC
In my experience, some bread crumbs, a bit of mayonnaise, Old Bay Seasoning (an absolutely required ingredient), Worcestershire sauce and lump crab meat.
Saute in a pan with some butter until golden on both sides and warmed through. Can be eaten as a sandwich or on its own.
I'm sure there are other slight variations, but that's what I've always had around the Chesapeake Bay and on the Delaware Shore.
re: ccbweb
I am sure that is a standard crab cake around the US. I have had it like that in Florida, in NY, in Cali, in.... in... in... The variation depends on the maker not the region.
re: CIAinDC
a quick google search shows that Old Bay is a must. Not so common out here on the west coast, but still pretty available if you look. I have certainly had crab cakes without Old Bay. Other camps claim Maryland carb cakes are spicier than crab cakes, or must have peppers and onions, but that seems to be open to debate. Sort of a mine is, yours isn't, mentality. Reminds me a lot of the cajun/creole debate here not long ago.
The fact that Maryland style has reached Cali, NY Fla, doesn't really negate the style, just show the popularity.
re: lgphil
I don't believe there is a Maryland style. In culinary school, they teach you how to make crab cakes (which is basically the same recipe as above) but there is not mention on Maryland anything. The is no other way to make crab crabs... (binder, seasoning, maybe some veg, and in the oven or pan-fry).
re: CIAinDC
Actually, there are, just like chowders. The binders vary and the seasonings most definitely vary. I've had Chinese crab cakes, Japanese crab cakes, Mexican crab cakes, et cet. Maryland.
re: CIAinDC
Jfood would disagree. Just because they did not teach it in culinary school, does not mean it does not exist. Lots af things never taught to jfood in his education that do exist in the real world.
As you continue on your post CIA (hopefully this is hyde park not langely) career, you will find many things that were not taught in your short stay on route 9. Big world of learning out there. Don't stop learning after school.
re: CIAinDC
Here are 85,600 hits on google for "maryland crab cake recipe".
Knock yourself out
re: jfood
3rd paragraph..."Maryland crab cakes mean Maryland crabs."
re: CIAinDC
Jfood always likes a discussion where the other side gives him ample data. If you continue reading your cited article:
1 - Some Marylanders insist that a Maryland crab cake is any crab cake that's seasoned with Old Bay, a Maryland made concoction of celery salt, pepper, mustard, pimento, cloves, and more.
2 - Some say the secret is to use only backfin crab meat.
3 - Still others argue, it's any crab cake eaten in the state of Maryland.
4 - Some folks say that traditional Maryland crab cakes are spicier than most.
5 - Others insist that they're made with green peppers and onion.
6 - "Even chefs don't agree on what makes a Maryland crab cake
7 - Actually Marylanders can all agree on one point: Maryland crab cakes must be made with blue crabs, scientifically known as Callinectes Sapidus
BTW - as you know your cite is a quote from Barbara O'Banon of the National Marine Fisheries Service. OMG - she works for a government agency empowered to watch for sustainability in fish. Is she from MD, has she ever set foot in a kitchen, a single government GS-1 as a Perry Mason moment, jfood does not think so.
re: CIAinDC
Uh, yes, that has mostly been answered here. The key seasoning is Old Bay Seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. The binder is mayonnaise (in some recipes supplemented with egg for a firmer texture) and cracker/bread crumbs. Et cet.
If I encountered a crab cake (as I have) with cilantro and lime juice and bits of hot peppers, it would not be a Maryland crab cake. If I encountered a crab cake with ginger, scallion, soy sauce and panko (as I have), it would not be a Maryland crab cake. Et cet.
re: CIAinDC
Um, the quick hitter "recipe" I posted above is, I believe, the basic "Maryland Style." Old Bay Seasoning and Worchestershire Sauce are the major seasoning components, plain bread crumbs and mayonnaise serve as the binder.
re: CIAinDC
even in Maryland people don't say the same thing about what it is suppose to be.
California roll if they dont call it California is nothing but that krab and not really California but everybody calls it that.
re: Karl S
Some of that crab comes from Texas and I assume the rest of the Gulf Coast. It's difficult to find crab in Houston restaurants and if you want blue crab you must buy it at the coast or in local Asian markets, or simply catch it yourself. Nothing finer than fresh caught blue crab, other than fresh speckled trout, of course.
re: almansa
When it comes to seafood, there is simply not enough supply of many famous items to satisfy demand, certainly at the expected price point. Trying tripling the price point for crabcakes to get real fresh blue crab from Maryland flown up the day before to whereever....
Generally in life, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
re: Veggo
just a week ago Saturday actually, went to Tank Noodle in Chicago for some Vietnamese food. The items that came out:
1) Pho with sliced beef
2) a dish with a pork chop, grilled"lobster tail", vietnamese sausage, and a sunnyside egg over rice
3) grilled beef and shrimp over vermicelli noodles
4) pork fried rice
looked just like the pics on the menu, and tasted great. However the "lobster" was actually a large prawn. Either way the dish was still great for $12.00
I would have to agree that many times what the item looks like on the menu does not look like what you get served at the lower quality places.
Man, you guys are so confused about Maryland crab cakes, I don't know how you can deal with German Chocolate Cake.
How about London Broil, made from British beef?
The great Irish soda bread importation occurring annually?
Italian water ice? Do they freeze it before or after it crosses the Atlantic?
Drink Canada Dry? be glad to, if I liked either Seagrams or Molsons.
I had a chicken cordon bleu the other day and if that ever won a ribbon , I don't know where.
Of course, the German Chocolate cake is the real trick.
re: FrankJBN
Especially since it wasn't actually German chocolate to begin with. Mind bending, eh?
re: ccbweb
I'm all ears...I'd love to know more...
re: maria lorraine
The cake now known as German Chocolate cake is from a recipe that used Baker's brand German's Sweet Chocolate. Their chocolate was formulated by an employee in the mid 19th century whose name was Samuel German; thus, "German's Sweet Chocolate." Never had anything to do with Germany.
Baker's still makes and sell's "German's Sweet Chocolate."
re: ccbweb
And Baker was the name of a man. It didn't refer to the occupation.
Thanks for the post...
re: FrankJBN
LOL! I've got a great visual of little loaves of bread bravely setting off to sea... Thank you. You made my day. And I was interested to read the origin of German Chocolate cake. Anything to do with chocolate is interesting reading!

Heading into UFC 180's main event between Fabricio Werdum and Mark Hunt, the smart money was certainly on the Brazilian. "Vai Cavalo" wasn't just physically and mentally more prepared, he also presented significant matchup issues for the Kiwi. How the fight actually unfolded was a little surprising, though. Despite the knockout, Werdum wasn't as competitive on the feet as some had anticipated. He looked hesitant from the opening bell, and each right hand from Hunt only reinforced his hesitance. read news >>

Sebastian James, Dixons' group chief executive, said: "I am very excited about the opportunities that the proposed merger with Carphone Warehouse offers for the group.
"We will build what I hope will be the first and best truly multi-channel proposition that allows customers not only to buy and experience the explosion of new connected products that are emerging, but to also get the advice, connectivity and services that will allow them to use technology as it should be used – to make their lives better."
Looking ahead, James said that the new financial year had started well, "with an uplift in TV sales driven by the World Cup", while it was "seeing the early glimmers of a consumer recovery".
He said: "On this there is no certainty just yet, but what we know for sure is that if we maintain a tight rein on costs, our pricing sharp – against all comers – and our service levels high, customers will continue to choose us over others."
Dixons' merger deal with Carphone Warehouse was confirmed by the companies a month ago.

-- Georgia Smith, who is the daughter of the late British Bulldog, recently wrote an article about her father for Fighting Spirit Magazine. The article will be published soon.
-- ECW Press sent out the following announcement today, announcing that on July 1st, they are releasing a revised eBook version of "Chris & Nancy: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death'"…
ECW Press is pleased to announce the release of a revised digital edition of Irvin Muchnick's 2009 book Chris & Nancy: The True Story of the Benoit Murder-Suicide and Pro Wrestling's Cocktail of Death.
The new electronic edition, which will be published July 1, 2012 includes an author's Afterword in which he carries the story forward – to World Wrestling Entertainment founder and ex-CEO Linda McMahon's campaigns for a United States Senate seat from Connecticut and to Muchnick's own further investigations of the concussion crisis in all sports. Post-mortem analysis of Benoit's brain tissue showed that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and awareness of CTE and other catastrophic and long-term damage from contact sports, especially football, now looms as the biggest off-field story in the industry.
"Chris & Nancy is one of the most important books ECW Press has ever published, and we are pleased to be able to give it new life through this digital edition," said senior editor Michael Holmes.
In addition to Chris & Nancy, Muchnick authored another ECW book – Wrestling Babylon: Piledriving Tales of Drugs, Sex, Death, and Scandal (2007) – and co-authored a third: Benoit: Wrestling With the Horror That Destroyed a Family and Crippled a Sport (2007).

New bikes
05 July 2014 11:30
This is a new BMW K1600 bagger spied testing at a top-secret test track last week and signals a new direction for the straight-six engine first seen in the K1600GT and GTL, launched in 2011.
While baggers make only the smallest impact on UK or European sales charts they are huge news in the American market and BMW is the latest manufacturer (after Honda with the Gold Wing-based F6B) to enter this lucrative niche.
The new K1600 bagger was spotted at long range while undergoing braking tests at a private test track in Germany, alongside a new water-cooled version of the R1200R roadster, which suggests the bike could make an appearance as early as this October at the Cologne motorcycle show in Germany.
The bagger recipe is simple enough; strip away as much of the fairing as is practical, design some hard and low-slung panniers that give the bike a low stance and try to keep as much as the rest of the bike as stock as possible. The fairing and topbox we can see in these images are unlikely to make it to production unchanged – the top box almost certainly contains electronic test equipment and the fairing is almost certainly just disguise.
At the heart of the new bagger is the mighty 1649cc across-the-frame straight six, which is unlikely to be retuned from the 160bhp it produces in the GT and GTL super-tourer models. The powerful, smooth and torquey engine is housed in a twin spar cast aluminium frame and will almost certainly share much of the same running gear.
MCN understands that this bagger version has been commissioned by BMW's American arm, as it needs this bike to compete with rivals domestically. While all markets will get the option to include this model in their range, it's unlikely to be a big success outside of America when it's launched in late 2014 as a 2015 model. No-one at BMW Motorrad would give any official comment on the bike's existence.
Opinion: Phil West, MCN Executive Editor
"While naked and adventure bikes remain the 'on trend' machines of choice in Europe, globally, driven primarily by the USA, it's the rise of the baggers which is making manufacturers sit up most. 'Baggers', or, bluntly, cruisers with bags and screens, have risen in recent years to be the biggest market sector by far in the States with not just magazines, websites, and TV shows dedicated to the cause, there's also a whole scene involving customising, events and more. Of the manufacturers, Harley-Davidson, perhaps unsurprisingly, are the ones to beat. What is a surprise, though, is the scale. Harley's Street Glide bagger, is not only H-D's best seller, according to Harley it outsells all imported bikes put together.
No wonder, then, that the likes of BM, Honda (with its recent F6B and CTX1300) and Triumph (with its 2014 Thunderbird LT) all want a slice of that pie. If they can tempt even a small percentage of those bagger buyers they'll be laughing all the way to the bank…"

His place is in 3v3. It's all about pushing and ganking, and he is amazing at both. If he goes against a team with even one squishy, it's eaten in seconds. Just did a Xin Talon lane and raped ****. Blink silence, blink knock up slow slow dead. He just succeeds on this map. Small gank fights instead of huge team fights in 5v5. Much more suited for him.

Buffalo Wild Wings
A Buffalo Wild Wings has opened in Southern Connecticut - worth a drive? Or do they spend all their energy on radio commercials?
The smallest wings (wondered where all the pigeons went), with minimal sauce at top dollar. And everything, including extra breaths are $0.50 each. A real disappointment in term of quality and value.
I don't really think it's worth a drive. The wings are standard - fried, and then slathered with way too much sauce. The only food item I really enjoy there are the onion rings and the potato wedges - but those too are pretty standard. The reason why I go there is more for the TV's to watch sports; the food is an afterthought.
God no. The place is terrible.
I'm a huge wing lover. I love wings so much even decent ones can keep me happy. I was thoroughly disappointed by BWW.
Don't waste your time or gas.
I'll chime in and agree with the others. It's way overpriced, and the wings really aren't that great. Occasionally we'll go to the one by us (which is about a half-mile away) only because they have a good beer selection and it's the closest place to grab a cold one.
Although I should say that my wife enjoys their jerk chicken wrap. Still, not worth going out of your way.
average at best. as mentioned above, wings are on the small side. pretty large spectrum (too large?) of sauces with 13 choices but i think that a lot in the middle taste pretty similar. i think that their best sauce is their #2 - wild. what their blazin (#1) has going for it in heat, loses points for poor flavor. personally, i'd choose hooters over buffalo wild when it comes to chain wings.
re: xman887
I tried Blazin once, and I thought I had a pretty good heat tolerance. Big mistake, it was nothing but pain, and zero flavor. How hot is #2?
re: aynrandgirl
I think that "Hot" is actually #3 on the list, and that is the hottest one that I actually enjoy. To my own tastebuds, the ones that are hotter than that are definitely more heat than flavour.
Well, I'll be the odd man out here; I like their wings a lot, and I am glad they have locations quite close to where I live and work. I am a fan of their Hot sauce, and my wife really liked the Smokey Southwestern sauce before they discontinued it. I really like the bleu cheese dressing they offer for dipping too.
I dont know if they do this in all markets or not, but in Milwaukee, Tuesday is 35 cent wing day and Wednesday is 50 cent leg day. I confess that these are the days I go most often-- after all, a price break is a price break is a price break. And I doubt that I would go out of my way to find them if they werent close by, but as chains go, I think these stand up very well.
Wings are small and I'm not a fan of the sauce-slathering either, but they always have the game on, and the chili con queso is great.
It certainly is not worth a drive for the food, but it can be kind of a fun place to hang out when you're feeling super casual. The one in my hometown is always packed with college age people and is typically a bit rowdy, but if thats what you're after it's alright. I am not a big wing fan so I always get the naked tenders which are basically skewered pieces of grilled chicken breast.

The knives were a nice heavy weight and very sturdy. We used them daily on a week-long vacation and they held up well; I don't think any broke, which is usually common-place for plastic knives. I would buy them again.

From Antiquity to Modernity with Dynacord
Warehouses once used for the storage of minerals in the Greek town of Lávrion have been converted to create a modern office and laboratory complex â the Lávrion Technological Park. One of the halls, however, has been reserved for leisure activities. In it, Nedis S.A. installed a DYNACORD sound reinforcement system
Famous in antiquity for its silver mines, which may have been worked as early as 1000 BC, the Greek town of Laurium (now Lávrion) was long an El Dorado for collectors of rare minerals such as jarosite, carminite and scorodite. Today, however, the town is better known for its marina, tourist attractions and high-tech industry. The mineâs historic buildings may be listed but they are far from empty, as the local council recently took the decision to authorize the conversion of the warehouses into offices and laboratories to create an exquisite hi-tech complex â the Lávrion Technological Park. more

Re: Bound For Glory Discussion Thread
Well there are five matches that have the potential to be motn in my opinion and are go through them now
austin aries vs jeff hardy
we all know what A double can do. it just depends on what Jeff Hardy turns up on the night. Not sure who will win the match but I have a funny feeling that AA's might have a hand in the outcome of the match.
AA'S vs Sting & Bully Ray
If TNA do use this match to reveal who is under the masks then I hope they have gotten a big name to be either the leader or the vp. If not then this could not only put a downer on the rest of the evening but could also be damageing to the company going forward. As for the match itself it all depends on which two members of aces take on Sting and bully ray. If TNA get this right then this could be a very entertaining match.
Kaz & Daniels vs Aj & Angle vs Chavo & Hernandez
I'm getting quite exited about this match at the moment and can't wait to see what chavo and hernandez bring to the matchup. I expect to see Kaz and Daniels keep the titles after possible interfearance from a certain AA's member who goes by the name of Wes Brisco.
Bobbie roode vs james storm
This two guys know each other inside out and i'm expecting a five star match here. my only concern is the inclusion of King Mo. Tna may have made a mistake here and could ruin the match.
Samoa Joe vs Magnus
It looks as if Tna are going to finally give Magnus a push and I think we may see a upset here and see Joe drop the belt. Either way its going to be a top match.
As for the other two matches they don't intrest me at all. but don't be surprised if you also get a X division title match as well.
