The 2013-2014 wagering year was a strange one for me, personally.

From the time he entered the NBA as a teenager, Kobe Bryant wanted to be Michael Jordan, with every fiber of his being.

When you're the third pick in the NBA Draft, there are a ton of expectations.

This is what happens when you have a league imposed maximum salary on a player whose true worth is at least two to three times that amount --- in a league where that star player is worth about 25 to 30 incremental regular season wins--- and, when that player is a free agent, the league will stand st ...

Rockets Free Agent-Palooza 2014 continued on Wednesday with a little controversy, some good food, and a lot of Melo.

2014's NBA free agency class is technically as star studded as any in league history. I say "technically" only because there's a strong belief that the stars at the top of the list are, by and large, virtual locks to return to their incumbent teams. But for now, technically the likes of LeBron Jame ... More >>

Through the constant, repetitive touting of honks like Dick Vitale, and because once he arrived in the NBA, it turns out all he can do is flail his body around like a maniac, the narrative on Toronto Raptor forward Tyler Hansbrough is that he is one of the "grittier" and "tougher" players in the lea ...

Now, we all love Chuck Hayes. We all love Chuck Hayes so ... More >>

With four games to go in the 2011-2012 season, the Rockets were coming off a 117-110 loss to Dallas, a loss in which Dirk Nowitzki provided a stark reminder to last season's Rockets team that they were devoid of a superstar caliber player by dropping 21 points on them in the fourth quarter.

Paper plates – I wonder what the children will create with paper plates? I love open-ended art so children can just do. The goal is for the children have input and choice with very little structure.
Today there is a toddler and a preschooler who are both thrilled to use the small paper plates. The oldest child notices there is a stack of plates, too! To keep the art child-directed, there is a variety of possibilities available for each child to choose from. There are crayons, markers, colored pencils, stickers, scissors, pipe cleaners, glue, tape, water colors, and a variety of other papers.
The preschool child first chooses to use the tape and cuts a word from another paper. After this she chooses to color with crayons. She colored on one plate and then got another plate. She used the tape and the 2 plates to make eyes.
Then with another 2 paper plates she used markers and scissors to create 2 faces. Notice the partial plate glued on top. She put a smaller hole in the plate and used pipe cleaners to create a "necklace".
Before she finished, she used the water colors to paint the plates. Every plate was unique. She had reasons which she happily expressed as to why each was painted its own unique way.
The toddler chooses two plates imitating his preschool age sister. He chooses a homemade melted round crayon to use first to color his plate.
When he finishes coloring a paper plate, he makes sure it is included in the photos. He holds it up for the picture and waits until the photo is taken. :0)
This toddler chooses to use water colors next. Notice that he paints in straight lines and strokes that move from one side of the paper plate to the other. He paints several plates and uses the same pattern.
As he paints, he uses vocabulary to describe what he does (with the adult's help), sentences for language development, answers questions about colors he chooses, fine motor development holding & moving the brush and the other hand consistently holds onto and edge, and sensory (smell and touch). As he finishes, he puts one hand on a plate that is pretty wet with paint, then puts it on another plate without any paint. He does this several times noticing what his hand print looks like each time and comments on it.
A few if my observations of this child directed art work is the children's work is creative, inventive, and unique. Each of their work comes from within them and their life experiences. It involves self-expression, is process oriented, and fosters autonomy.
Best of all, each child is pleased with what they do. What else could I ask for!

Its a pretty sure bet: Moms like cute things. The cutest, most adorable, melt-your-heart Mother's Day activity is, hands-down, Baby Animals Weekend from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Oliver H. Kelley Farm in Elk River. Yes, it's a bit of a road trip, so it's not suggested if your mom gets on your nerves easily. But if you can tolerate a 40-minute drive together, your mother will surely thank you when you arrive at a farm teeming with fuzzy chicks, lambs, piglets, and more. And moms get in free when the kids pay for tickets.

We've come a long way in picking out the best chicken wings: in my estimation, 180 wings have been consumed in an eight-week span. Needless to say, I'm "winged out" for the time being. There were some surprises along the way, along with a few disappointments, but 'Cuse should be proud of its chicken wing notoriety. More than half the places seeded in the tournament scored above average in the tallied scores and I've even found a few establishments I look forward to going back to and getting my face and fingers messy again.
Final Four: Downtown Winner vs. Northside/Eastwood Winner
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que's "Wango Tango" vs. Change of Pace's "Hot/Extra Crispy"
The Downtown vs. Northside/Eastwood match-up pitted Dinosaur's Wango Tango wings against Change of Pace's hot and extra crispy wings. Change of Pace's wings are very good and (despite not being outstandingly "extra crispy" on this occasion), come coated in a very hot, tasty, classic Buffalo sauce. They're no match for Dino's "Wango Tango" though. Dinosaur boasts the most tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken meat of all the contestants with deliciously crispy wings slathered in a sweet, sassy and garlicy sauce that has the perfect mouth-tingling kick. No one likes to see such a lopsided score in the Final Four, but the wings at Dinosaur left me no choice.
Dinosaur: 6 points
Change of Pace's: 0 points
Winner: Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Final Four: Tipperary Hill Winner vs. Southside/SU Hill Winner
Swallow's "Hot" wings vs. Nibsy's Pub's "Hot" wings
Another tough battle for Nibsy's and the first real test for Swallow's in a match-up that could've gone either way. There were four categories in which both contestants were evenly matched and nearly perfect: meat, flavor, heat, balance, and even celery and blue cheese. There were even a few toss-ups that could've gone either way making this by far the most difficult match-up to find a clear-cut winner. Both are winners in my mind and it's a shame to have to cut one. In the end, Nibsy's did have that classic taste that you want from chicken wings and the pool of delicious Buffalo sauce lying in the bottom of the bowl was beyond appetizing for dipping. But Swallow's took the battle with perfect wings covered in a mouth-watering, if unorthodox, sauce highlighted by some of the hottest wings in the tournament. Technically, it may not be a Buffalo sauce, but it's spicy, garlicy and finger-licking delicious. Congrats, Swallow's. You've certainly earned your spot in the championship.

Xen security bug, you say? Amazon readies GLORIOUS GLOBAL CLOUD REBOOT
Re: First BASHing
AWS and Azure (and I assume Google) cloud services are not like a well built internal private virtualized environment. There is no vmotion or storage vmotion (or whatever the citrix and M$ version of this are). There is redundancy in networking (so we are told), but there is no separate path for storage or management.
The old AWS server has a single redundant 1Gb connection going out the server for everything - management, storage and regular network traffic. This is shared by all the VMs on that host. Few people in their right mind would set up a vsphere or hyper-v environment with these sorts of limitations. There are ways to pay for more bandwidth and IOPS with a 10Gb pipe, but those are significantly more expensive.
Lots of people make many assumptions about AWS based on what their own internal virtualization environment looks like, and they would be fools to do so. It is nothing like what one responsible person would set up, unless you were trying to be the cheapest cloud vendor in the world, then its whatever you could do to make it the cheapest possible setup.
You know what Cisco needs? A server SAN strategy
Off topic - misuse of the acronym SAN
Off topic - but I am now officially blaming the media for the misuse of the term SAN - this means you El Reg!
I am exhausted with this battle in the lexicon of IT - and clearly I have lost it.
Why have destroyed the meaning of the acronym SAN? What does SAN stand for?
A server with disks attached to it is not a SAN, its a server with disks that can be shared out - such a nas/iscsi/FC/FCOE shared storage device or array. It is not a network.
Somehow we have turned what was previously called a Storage Array into a Network. I am not entirely sure how this happened. I think it was some lazy marketing person from Dell who wanted to say SAN a lot because they had no idea what they were talking about.
Now we have turn this acronym into a catch-all for anything storage related that isn't DAS (direct attached storage), an acronym that's name has not been changed.
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of the universe, will you journalists at the Reg stop using the word SAN in this way!
Call Networked Attached Storage a NAS!
Call a Storage Array a Storage Array!
If you want to refer to an entire set of Network/Fibre Switches and Storage devices attached to it a SAN, that would be G@#$#@$d Darn FU#@$#@ING acceptable.
Death by 1,000 cuts: Mainstream storage array suppliers are bleeding
I guess my comment wasn't clear enough.
I understand that cloud storage is a good tool for some companies to look at. If I had an SMB shop, cloud backups would be a superb solution for offsite storage and DR purposes.
The cloud industry (and its salespeople) have been trying to sell the notion of cloud to anyone for everything. My point is this is often not the case.
We had a cloud backup company trying to convince us (a nontechnical director at my company who just sees cloud = job promotion and relevance) to look at their product. This company has their own datacenter with storage to hold the backups, and customers connect to this from the internet to store and retrieve their backup data.
My point: Let's say the northeast region of the US was down due to a power grid problem. This has happened, and is likely to happen again.
If all of their customers affected by this outage started restoring their data to their DR site in Nebraska or wherever, would they have enough bandwidth to accommodate it without all of their customers complaining that the restores are too slow? The people I spoke with never thought about that, or didn't want to discuss it. I think that's a pretty substantial issue, and a good reason not to use their service.
Our company has contacts with customers that pay us based on availability. I think anyone else in this situation needs to look long and hard at cloud solutions before jumping into one - especially if they already have the systems in place that meet their needs.
Re: Bring on the Storinator!
The Storinator looks very cool. Still need to buy a bunch of disks for it and have some level of 24 x 7 hardware support.
What virtual SAN (I hate how the world has changed the meaning of the acronym SAN) software would you suggest placing on something like this?
One would assume you would need to buy a few of these storinators with redundant storage on both so there is no downtime, and the virtual SAN (sideshow bob grimacing and moaning) would need to take care of that redundancy.
Re: Options are good, but cloud storage ...
We have looked into object storage as well, since we have a large number of files stuck in file shares on filers that are pretty unwieldy - tens of millions of files per volume on several volumes for one app alone.
Vendor lock is always the biggest concern with object storage. EMC's offerings with their RAIN products are notorious. Customers move all of there data to the object storage (and its not cheap), and then realize how awful EMC and want to move it to another product. And how do you do that? There is a company in the Boston area that specializes in migrating people from one object storage appliance to something else. They make a killing because its so frickin' complicated.
Switching to an old guard nas vendor with dedupe and compression has saved us tremendous amounts of space (75% in most cases), and while its no fun to backup, its possible, and if we decide we want to switch to another NAS vendor, we can with tools like Richcopy and some downtime, and not have to rewrite the application because there is a new API.
Re: ODMs will enter the fray, too!
Mainframes still run the majority of financial business in the world. They really didn't go anywhere, they just aren't the only option anymore. They aren't cool, but they are still used pretty widely. There is a real shortage of programmers for them.
Options are good, but cloud storage has a lot of issues the never seem to come up in these pieces
I agree. Little storage vendors are making it harder for the big ones to make as much money as they used to. For someone like me that works and purchases gear from these vendors, we are spending less on traditional storage than we used to. Excellent stuff.
The cloud is another issue...
There is a similar but less comprehensive and not-as-well reasoned piece on techcrunch today that speaks of cloud destroying the old storage guard, but what people keep seem to missing about cloud storage is how you get to it.
We had a director tell us to look into getting rid of our expensive mainstream backup solution (they hate paying for anything, which I understand) and use this new fangled cloud based backup some sales person called him about, and I obliged.
They sound like they know what they are doing. They support lots of products (but not Oracle, so already its a no). Then we asked about their bandwidth, and they claim to have OODLES of bandwidth. Then we asked the question if they had enough bandwidth to satisfy the demand of say 20% of their customers at once. Let's say the US northeastern seaboard power grid is down, and now we are all scrambling to restore our data at the same time. They didn't have a good answer for that one.
Then we calculated our costs required to upgrade our internet pipes to accommodate this - and the whole thing didn't make any sense, even if they did support oracle. Even with an incredible fast internet connection -it would never come close to a local 10Gb connection - let's not even get into latency over the internet compared to a local network.
And the rah-rah cloud storage piece is written by a VP of a cloud storage company. I guess its really paid editorial advertising, but they never mention that on their site.
My point is that there are all these other costs around cloud storage beyond the $/GB a month, but people just seem to accept that they aren't a big deal until they have to pay for them.
Who will be David to EMC's external disk Goliath?
No, but I bet they would at least apologize for taking 10 days to replace a disk at a production data center (with very expensive production support costs).
But I can only imagine what Oracle has done to destroy Sun/STK. STK support was pretty fantastic. When Oracle purchased them they started calling immediately about renewing our support contract in a very threatening manner, and we got so turned off we just skipped it an looking to buying a quantum library. BTW, I have only had excellent support experiences with Quantum. I am sure they will get snatched up by EMC or Oracle and be ruined as well...
But how long can it last
I am still baffled by the continued success of EMC. I don't think their products have any clear advantage over their competitors and their tech support is the worst in the business of the major storage firms (I have used them all, and I have yet to have a satisfactory, let alone good support experience with EMC).

Another bar called Alibi opened recently in the West Village, says veteran drinks-slinger Tommy O'Connell; but he insists that this Brooklyn saloon is "the real one." By the looks of it, he's right. Splitting the difference between Mars Bar and Bull McCabe's, Alibi's Irish owners have eschewed the hep low-culture resonance of some East Village dives for a more natural (albeit graffitied), timeworn aesthetic, and favor a few Gaeilge street signs and traditional log fire over mock-Irish patina (e.g., those ubiquitous writers' murals). The drinks are cheap: Alibi offers a completist's menu of Brooklyn beers ($3 a pint from 6 to 8) and a $1 Bud special (5 to 7), good for the days-before-payday wallet. The Guinness is passable, though at times hurried. You can't always blame them. Described by manager Owen O'Gorman as a late-night spot (it's open till 4 daily), you'll find it Pratt-packed until the wee hours on a Thursday. But ignore them: Find redneck heaven on Big Buck Hunter II ("No such thing as a bad day to hunt!!"), play the well-stocked jukebox, or get in line for pool (there's an ongoing tourney every Monday night). Hair of the dog? Spicy Bloodys without the nasty aftertaste ($4) till 7 on weekends.

The FAA has issued a Special Federal Aviation Regulation that mandates pilot training in the Mitsubishi MU-2. The move came more than two years after the agency completed its latest evaluation of the aircraft's relatively high accident rate, which has nevertheless fallen in recent years below rates for other popular turboprops such as the Cessna 441 and Turbo Commander.

Business aviation accidents and incidents declined from 60 in 2006 to 56 in 2007, but fatal accidents involving U.S.-registered business jets and turboprops increased to 18 from 17, according to the latest annual report by aviation safety analyst Robert E. Breiling Associates.

Ferry fees have always been part of fractional flying. Now, however, some fractional providers have made changes to their programs that substantially reduce-if not eliminate-the fees for their owners. As a result, these owners enjoy expanded ferry-fee-free travel horizons, and the other fractional providers' may find they need to respond in kind.

The very light jet industry wasn't exactly flying high last year. A major supplier told me last summer that he expected half of all VLJ makers to fold soon. By the end of 2007, he looked clairvoyant; first the Aviation Technology Group suspended work on the two-seat Javelin and then, early in 2008, after sputtering for almost two years, Adam Aircraft shut its doors.

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "

"House of Cards" recap (2.1): Find the Links
Claire drives home, a day well spent, and takes a call from her doctor's office. Oh, no thanks, she says, no kids for her after all, but thanks for being my pawn, er, I mean thanks for trying to help me spawn. Goodnight!
Zoe heads into the Metro station and looks around warily. She finds Frank looking all incognito in a fedora and glasses as he lurks near some construction fencing at the far end of the platform. On his request, Zoe deletes their text history and then deletes Frank as a contact, even though he can't really see her do that, just hear the beeps. What the hell, Zoe?
Photo by Nathaniel Bell. Image courtesy of Netflix
Frank says the slate's clean, and now they can trust and help each other. Zoe is maybe cool with that, but would like one or two more assurances that Frank isn't, you know, a cold-blooded killer. She knows Rachel was at the hotel when Russo was arrested. And she gets annoyed when Frank pretends not to know that Rachel has disappeared.
Frank plays all high dudgeon and offended honor with Zoe's outrageous questions. She just wants to know that she wasn't an accomplice to a murder. Frank starts to walk away in a huff, and then when Zoe moves to go after him he grabs her by the shoulders, spins her, and—NO!—flat-out shoves her into the path of an oncoming train.
The moment is so well done, such a perfect set-up, so quick and surprising and so exactly what he was planning all along. There's just one little shriek and Zoe is gone, everyone in the station rushing and Frank moving slowly and calmly, up and out and away from trouble, gloves not so clean, true, but at least it was a quick blow to the base of the skull.
And thus House of Cards has issued the warning that all really good thrillers do at some point: Don't get too comfortable: Any character can get killed off at any time. Well-liked, well-established character, one you thought would be a major driver of the plot this season? Too bad and fuck you: You're not the one calling this game.
Lucas gets word of Zoe's death in the newsroom and breaks down silently behind the glass walls of his office. There was nothing he could do, nothing he could ever have done. He knows it, but he's not accepting it.
Frank comes home to his wife and one candle burning in his dark, dark cave, lighting up the cake he specifically did not want. Happy birthday, you lunatics. You know they're going to have hungry angry dragon sex right on top of that cake.
Janine is frantically throwing all her things into a suitcase because she knows she and Lucas have nothing but targets on their backs. Janine accurately points out that Frank is not fucking around and that these are not death threats that are happening, this would be actual Death coming over for a drink and a back rub.
Janine found nudie pics of Zoe in her mailbox when she came home and she knows that Frank knows she exists and doesn't know about Lucas, so the odds are distinctly not in her favor and she has had enough of this shit, and Lucas can take his journalistic ideals and scatter them all over Rock Creek Park for all she cares.
Claire hears the news report of Zoe's "accident" and it flutters past her forehead like a moth, not troubling her for a moment. But then, maybe, as she finishes her makeup, a thought does.
Congresswoman Sharp meets with Frank to discuss the files he showed her — and the fact that her file was empty. He asks her if there should be anything in her file, and, after exactly the wrong beat of time, she says no. Frank's not worried, because if he can't find anything on her, she's at least good at covering her tracks. I'm sure this will in no way become a problem later on. Just go about your business.
Sharp knows that if she loses the Whip fight (This show should have a whip fight!), the others will come after her — and that Frank could just be using her to shank someone else. She's no dummy, Congresswoman Sharp. Frank dangles the 10-year wait she'll have before she can try again for Whip if she sits this one out. Sharp cuts to the chase and asks why Frank would pick her.
Frank asks Sharp, a veteran, how many missile strikes she launched, how many women and children she must have killed. He knows she can carry out orders even if innocent people will die. And that's why he chose her: She's a ruthless pragmatist. And he likes the cut of that jib. Sharp smiles. She gets him.
Rachel wakes up in a dim (of course), mostly unfurnished little room to Doug bringing her a gift of Indian food. Oh, crap, Doug is doing that unsettling thing where he thinks they might be dating while he's essentially holding her captive. Again.
Meechum gives his condolences on Zoe and offers Frank his birthday gift of cufflinks after all. Underwood thanks Meechum kindly. Terrifying Frank goes upstairs to his terrifying wife and proudly shows off the cufflinks he's immediately put on, and then Frank Underwood, finally, looks at us through the mirror and talks to us directly just like we've been waiting for.
Frank tells us not to waste any tears on Zoe, a kitten who was growing up to be dangerous, and explains to us what the law of this show is and always will be: Hunt or be hunted.
We pan down to Frank's new cuff links, safely tucked back in their box. Meechum has thoughtfully gotten Underwood's initials engraved on them:
Well launched, House of Cards. Looks like it's going to be a tasty, blood-soaked season.
See you next week!

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

By Ashley Zimmerman
On its seventh record, Portland trio Sleater-Kinney finds itself in the same predicament as its heroes Sonic Youth and tour mates Pearl Jam: It's honed its sound so precisely that it has to decide where to go next. With The Woods, the answers are jumping to indie-label heavyweight Sub Pop, enlisting Flaming Lips producer Dave Fridmann, and embracing an aggressively live recording style. But as even diehard fans acknowledge, Sleater-Kinney always fiercely makes the same record. The new disc may be less buoyant than One Beat, more jam-heavy than All Hands on the Bad One, and less spectacular than Dig Me Out, but what forever remains are Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein's cool guitar lines, feminist insight, and utter lack of bitterness at this war-torn, misogynistic world. The fairy-tale scorcher "The Fox" and the poignantly conflicted tranquility of "Modern Girl" suggest that for a familiar sound, they can still make it swing.

It's great when rumors actually pan out—then you don't look like a trouble-making fool.
As expected, LG has announced that it will indeed show a smart TV with Google TV inside at next week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Google TV launched in the second half of 2010, but stumbled due to content issues, an awkward interface and the high price (for the stand-alone Logitech Revue). Sony continued to offer an integrated Google TV through 2011, but support from other manufactures didn't develop.
In 2011 Google upgraded the system, improved the interface and apparently signed on new manufacturing partners, namely LG.
The new model will include the Google TV platform built into a CINEMA 3D TV that uses LG's FPR passive glasses technology. Also included will be a Magic Remote Qwerty—a remote that combines the features of LG's Wii-like remote and a QWERTY keyboard to make use of social media and other web features easier. The system allows for multitasking, so users can tweet or browser the web while watching TV.
The platform will include many familiar apps such as Netflix, Pandora, YouTube and others, plus a full web browser.
LG hasn't said what size the TV will be or how much, but we hope to be able to fill in those details when we see it in action next week.
The new smart home system allows you to monitor and control your yard's watering schedule.

Two crews from Honiton attended the incident on the A375 at Putts Corner, near the Hare and Hounds pub, shortly after 4pm.
A fire service spokesperson said: "Crews requested the attendance of a water carrier due to the amounts of hay alight.
"Steady progress was made throughout the job, turning over and damping down the hay using drag forks."

- What an improvementMainLineMikeVIPDined on 11/22/2014We've been to A la Maison several times because it was a great taste of French bistro food, but learned that we should only go there if we had loads of time. This visit was a real change. Fully staffed and servers who actually seemed to connect with customers (rather than the ones they used to have who tried to live up to French reputations of coldness and superiority). Whatever else you get, go for the pot au crème -- it's a like eating the essence of dark chocolate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- solidNickDined on 11/20/2014Hadn't been here in a couple of years. Found the noise level greatly reduced to quite comfortable. Cuisine is solid bistro fare, ample, very well prepared and seasoned. A gluten allergy was knowledgeably and comfortably accommodated. Worth bringing one or two of one's better bottles... Will return soon and often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Showed Little Respect for Food Allergiescbs17rDined on 11/15/2014Although the food tasted good, the portion of food was small. I ordered the french onion soup for my appetizer, which tasted good, portion size was bigger than a cup, but smaller than a bowl. Had I not ordered an appetizer, I would have really been in trouble. For my main entree, I ordered the trout amandine, which again, tasted good but was probably the smallest entree portion I've ever been served in a restaurant. Priced at $28, the amount of food was completely disproportionate to the price. My husband ordered the trout, as well. He has dietary restrictions & food allergies, which he thoroughly went over with our server. The chef completely disregarded this & used ingredients in the food preparation that we told our server he could not eat. Our server was pleasant, but took no ownership of the way the food was prepared, casually stating,"I told the chef he couldn't eat this." My husband was so hungry after the scant portion of trout that he ate a second basket of bread. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
- Never disappointscurlyDined on 11/14/2014It is one of our favorites. Food and service are always perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cold November nightNicenightoutDined on 11/14/2014Restaurant is warm and inviting. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Very difficult to read the menu. Bring your reading glasses and flashlight. Bouillabaisse was excellent. Lots of meaty mussels, scallops etc.. Plain crusty bread would have been fine for dipping in the broth. Lose the topping.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Out of town...dining alongPCM1VIPDined on 11/13/2014Given it had started snowing, and i am not a local, the restaurant was hard to find. The young lady answering the phone came out back to make sure i found the place...which was so incredibly nice of her. The inside was very cozy and intimate. i did not realize it was BYOB so appreciated the complimnetary glass of wine. My beet salad was very good. The bouillibase was good - would have liked a bit more flavor of lobster in the stock. But it was plenty of food and hit the spot as it was a crummy evening outside.The string quartet playing in the restaurant was a wonderful touch. Service was for the most part, quite good i hope my daughter goes to college there. i would love to returnI would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 11/11/2014I always enjoy my meal and this time wasn't any different. I went with a couple people who hadn't been there before, and they also enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service, Great FooddavidfDined on 11/5/2014We went for a family birthday dinner and had a great meal. Everyone was happy with their selections. Highlights were Veal Sweetbreads appetizer and a fabulous Bouillabaise. Server was really excellent and so all in all a great night outSpecial Features:
- Good but OverpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/4/2014This is a solid but not spectacular restaurant. The food is well prepared but lacks the sophistication and subtlety that should be delivered at these prices. How does $38 for scallops sound? We are way above Bibou territory here for food that while solid is not in the same league. We wanted to like this place as good weekday spots on the Main Line are hard to find but sadly it"s crossed off our list.
- Wonderful Meal!PeteVIPDined on 11/4/2014We went the first night that cassoulet was being served. We had short ribs and cassoulet which were both great. Our waiter Scott gave excellent service throughout the evening. Overall great meal.I would recommend this to a friend.
- I Can't Wait to Go BackMjsmdVIPDined on 11/1/2014This was our second time at A la Maison, and we were not disappointed. We sat at a lovely cozy window table in the front bar area, which was much more intimate and quieter than the main dining room. My beet salad was delicious, and the bouillabaisse was as good as any I have eaten in France. It was a very large portion, and my husband and friends gladly finished what I couldn't. My husband really enjoyed his pate and the dinner special chicken cordon bleu. My friend loved her salmon entre. Dessert was excellent but we were too full to really eat much of it. We had a wonderful evening of excellent food and conversation. The fact that this is a BYOB was an added bonus. We definitely will return.Special Features:
- DavidFVIPDined on 11/1/2014Classic French Bistro fare, done very well! And BYOB to boot. Clearly worth going to!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit of Paris in ArdmoreLilosgirlDined on 11/1/2014A La Maison delivers a lovely experience in a very cozy and Parisienne setting. The food, ambience, and the staff are wonderful. Byob allows for you to feel more relaxed and in control. You may think you at a French Bistro in the 7th arrondissement. Bon appetite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood Gem!!!barbDined on 10/31/2014We are never disappointed when we dine at A la Maison. It is a charming, white cloth but informal neighborhood restaurant. The food is delicious and always perfectly prepared. Portions are generous and menu is fairly priced. Service is friendly, attentive but non-intrusive. Importantly, the noise level is contained so that you can have a conversation with your dinner companions without shouting!! It is a BYO. We love this place, recommend to our friends and look forward to returning often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely and getting betterJeffVIPDined on 10/31/2014This was our third time at A La Maison in as many weeks. It just gets better. I'm so happy to have a restaurant nearby that serves decent, honest French cooking, with not to many bumps! The fact that it is relatively quiet and a that it is a BYOB is just icing on the cake. I look forward to returning.Special Features:
- Still a great French bistroMmeBVIPDined on 10/23/2014My friend and I went for lunch a few days ago and had a delightful meal. She had a cheese omelette, I had a mushroom crepe and both were delicious. The accompanying green salads were perfect and the French fries were great. And how nice that it is still a BYOB!Special Features:
- Best bistro inStueDined on 10/9/2014After having many lunches here, we finally tried it for dinner. The food--moules frites, boeuf--was excellent, and our server was affable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Two minor problems prevented the meal from being perfect: The chairs are not particularly comfortable, and the hard-surfaced walls could use some sound-dampening hangings, especially when young children are being introduced to the pleasures of French cuisine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodKK13Dined on 10/4/2014Great ambiance, excellent food and a byob. What could be better?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisapointscurlyDined on 9/27/2014This is one of our favorite restaurants. The food and service are always outstanding. Their regular menu is superb, and there are always specials that are wonderful as well.Special Features:
- Excellent food on the MainlinejojottVIPDined on 9/27/2014Have been to Maison Bistro many times. Food never disappoints. We had 2 kids there Saturday night, with 6 adults. Very kids-friendly. We never felt uncomfortable. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Bistro on Main LinejsegelVIPDined on 9/23/2014Excellent cuisine and service, as always. Very consistent.Special Features:
- great food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014The staff was really wonderful even making sure I had parked in an appropriate spot so I would not get towed. The cheese plate was wonderful and the salad large and tasteful. The entree courses were delicious for everyone at our party. Our waitress was super friendly and not overbearing. The romantic setting was cozy but hopping with an older crowd that you could tell appreciated the food. There were also families here. Overall I would recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Great restaurantBRETfromManiyunkDined on 9/20/2014This is one of our favorite places for special occasions. The food is typically very good to exceptional - always very enjoyable. The wait staff are very friendly and appropriately attentive. The only possible downside is that it is BYO - they say that folks often like to bring their own special bottle, which is true, but I also enjoy trying a glass of something new. Regardless, we'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner ReviewOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/19/2014The chef is first rate and the service is excellent. This was our second visit and we will go again.Special Features:
- Food is blandTangoVIPDined on 9/19/2014The food is not what it once was. The French onion soup is very good but the rest of our entrees and appetizers were too bland, no garlic, no pepper, few herbs. The chef appears to be catering to the palates of the Irish and the nursing home crowd. But the place is packed so I appear to be in the minority.
- Disappointment!miami307Dined on 9/17/2014We joined our friends for a birthday celebration but were very disappointed with our dinner entrees. The French onion soup was good, the salad was acceptable and the desserts were good. However, the Rainbow trout special was dry and tasteless and the duck breast was chewy, not tender. We would not nor recommend it to anyone.
- Expensive but worth it.EricDined on 9/13/2014This BYOB served wonderful food, had great service with a smile, and honored our reservations quickly. It was pricy but worth it. We definitely recommend it when you want a great mfriendly surroundings.eal inSpecial Features:
- Bon appetitAnnieDined on 9/13/2014This is an excellent French restaurant. Not too many in the area and this one is fantastic. Recommend to all that are French food gourmets.Special Features:
- All around on pointLoveLifeDined on 9/5/2014My lady and I had a great time here on a friday night at 8:30, with great food, great service. I had the fillet with shrimp, she had the duck breast and we started with the bucheron cheese plate. Everything was well prepared and served at a good pace. I'd recommend this spot for date night and dinners with friends.Special Features:
- A new favoritedorisVIPDined on 9/2/2014We have been back to this restaurant twice and each time the food and service were just perfect. Looking forward to returning soon. The onion soup is the best !Special Features:
- Fantastic Original French BYOB!JimHDined on 8/25/2014This was our first visit and we will be back. A beautiful, simple, elegant dining room, tables to fit any size group. Absolutely fantastic service, Jessica truly loved the food on the menu and couldn't wait to help us make our selections. Cheeses, mussels, entrees and dessert, everything we had was excellent, high quality, nice presentation, well paced, it was a Monday night but they were almost full, we enjoyed a quiet table for two and the french music in the background was just right for conversation. When our bill arrived and we were told the creme brulet was on the house because this was our first visit, we were blown away, $9 dessert. Highly recommend a la maison, its just a Fantastic Original French BYOB!Special Features:
- blue2Dined on 8/23/2014Everything from the bread to the dessert was good. I ordered the beet salad, the bouillabaisse and profiteroles for dessert; they were all excellent. Service was great and very attentive . It can get a bit loud towards the back of the restaurant but I had requested a table closer to the window and we got seated right by the window which made our evening even more special. I would go back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- frenchVIPDined on 8/23/2014We love this place. Everything is delicious. The onion soup is incomparable.Special Features:
- DisappointingTomSWatVIPDined on 8/19/2014Service was friendly and efficient, and the receptionist was very helpful when we had difficulty finding the place. but, alas, the food was poor for the most part, and very expensive for what it was. My wife's snails were overcooked hard little lumps. Our "braised" duck legs were stewed rather than braised and the red wine jus was non-existent, while the mushroom risotto had all of five shreds of mushrooms in it. The blueberry crepe for dessert was cold and hard and just rolled around raw blueberries. At $32 each for the duck, the check was far too high for the nature of the place and the standard of the cooking.
- The following 965 reviews are from the A la Maison Bistro reviews archive.
- AkendrVIPDined on 7/31/2014Good food prep, somewhat overpriced. Very accommodating service. The main dining room is one big open room that has the feel of a catering hall. Sit in the smaller bar area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful French FoodHP61Dined on 7/30/2014Great food. Friendly, attentive service. Escargot delicious, moule frites equally terrific. Filet done perfectly with tasty Bernaise sauce. Cheese board a special treat as we'll. Bring your favorite bottle of Champagne or wine. Fun night out on the main drag in Ardmore.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DoctorDined on 7/26/2014Consistently excellent food and service with reasonable prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Greatest Croque Monsieur ever!Gabby19Dined on 7/26/2014Enjoyed a fabulous Croque Madame (in fact, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had anywhere) at brunch here last Saturday--every bite of the very generously-sized sandwich was delectable. Wonderful mix of lean but flavorful ham, perfectly melted Gruyere and a fried egg on a delicious Brioche. Nice French Provincial atmosphere without being overbearing or pretentious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alyays very goodcouldbebetterVIPDined on 7/25/2014It is hard to find a restaurant that is consistently way above average. A la Maison is one. You can't say enough about the consistent very good food and high caliber service. The menu is consistent and always good. The specials are always very good and something to look forward to. The attention to quality and detail is very refreshing considering todays restaurant scene of get them in, get them out and sloppy service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/25/2014Service was slow but there seemed to be only one waitress. And it didn't matter for us...Special Features:

It has certainly been a long, strange but beneficial trip for Perpetual Groove since it began touring in the fall of 2002. Singer/guitarist Brock Butler and bassist Adam Perry met in 1998 as freshmen at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Once they added a drummer and keyboardist in 2001, word about their electro-funky, jazz-inspired improvisational rock spread rapidly around the Southeast. Dedicated fans began to follow the band on tour, sparking the interest of music lovers across the country. P-Groove's debut album, Sweet Oblivious Antidote, was the Home Grown Music Network's top seller for 2003, outsold releases by jam kings Phish and Widespread Panic, and was voted the network's top fan pick that year. The band's résumé boasts all the "must go to" festivals in the nation, including Bonnaroo, High Sierra, and South Florida's own Langerado and Jam Cruise. Hokey as it is, seems like the name these guys picked is spot-on.
Perpetual Groove plays at 9:30 p.m. Friday, December 16, at the Bamboo Room, 25 S. "J" St., Lake Worth. The show costs $25. Call 561-585-2583. P-Groove also plays at 9 p.m. Saturday, December 17, at the Culture Room, 3045 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $10 in advance or $13 at the door. Call 954-564-1074.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editor's note: Although CNET's battery drain tests revealed that the iAudio 7 is unlikely to meet its claim of 60 hours of continuous music playback during realistic conditions, we still feel it is an excellent player worthy of the Editors' Choice distinction.
While the Cowon iAudio 7 is cosmetically indistinguishable from its previous life as the iAudio 6, it still proves to be a significant upgrade. Under the hood, the 4GB microdrive technology found in the iAudio 6 has been transplanted with up to 8GB of faster, leaner flash memory and an improved battery life. We still feel that Cowon's Swing Touch interface takes some acclimation, but with the 4GB player selling for $170 and the 8GB selling for $220, the iAudio 7 is one of Cowon's most competitively priced and full-featured MP3 players to date.
When we heard that the latest iAudio player would toss out the microdrive in favor of flash memory, we presumed the result would be a slimmer player. Thus, it was a bit of a letdown to find that the iAudio's dimensions went unchanged. Granted, the iAudio 6 was small to begin with, but it's certainly not as slim as the iPod Nano. Side-by-side, the iAudio 6 and iAudio 7 are indistinguishable aside from the iAudio 7's screen being slightly offset and the back cover changing from a matte to a glossy plastic. The good news is that by resisting the temptation to go skinnier, Cowon was able to fit a higher-capacity battery into the iAudio 7.
