The great pastry trek is over... (Long)
- Dana Harris Aug 27, 2006 12:45 AM
And to tell the truth, it was a little less than all that.
All told, we visited eight bakeries. Left Highland Park at 10 am; back by 2:45. Didn't try Bluebird; it's closed on Saturday. Dolce Forno is open, but may as well be closed; there was almost nothing in the case. Most items were sampled after we got back to the house.
The rules of engagement: All were bakeries less than a year old. We selected sweet items that were:
1) visually appealing
2) and/or recommended by staff
3) and not a cupcake.
The bad news first:
Sophie's Bakery & Café. Hard to find (in Bel Air, about a half mile off of Mulholland); not worth the search.
• Apple tart had a thick, tough crust and oversweet apple-raisin filling
• Mini key lime cheesecake: artificial color and flavoring
• Éclair was fine
• Tough, squishy napoleon that tasted a little of the refrigerator
• Also depressing: the shop/cafe smells more like cleaning solution than a bakery
Hotcakes Bakes. (I feel badly about this; the women working there seem really earnest and sincere.)
Two good things:
• The cannelle (better than Surfas)
• A blueberry muffin (berries sank to the bottom, but there was lemon zest in the batter. Still, needed a browner top and more moistness.)
Everything else we tried was just short of terrible.
• A muffin-like thing, described as topped with crème fraiche and sugar: Dry and nothing-flavored. Not a nice thing to do to someone.
• Greasy filling in a tiny cream puff.
• A cinnamon roll that had almost no cinnamon or roll – pulled apart, it looked like a dry and oversized biscuit with frosting.
• A chocolate-chip cookie had a margarine aftertaste. (Would a bakery like this use margarine?)
• And the chocolate cookie that a friend described as "one of those cookies you made as Christmas ornaments – after spending five years on the tree."
Surfas Bakery. Squarely in the "eh" category. (I know many sing praises of the lavender lemon bars; they were out.)
• Cookies were fine but not great; a little dry and heavy. They're made from the prefab dough you can buy in their freezer case – great if you're a kid. (If you can vote, you'll want something else.)
• A plain cannele was fine; the banana canelle was made with artificial flavoring that reminded me of the banana chewy candy I liked (again) as a kid.
• Other baked goods came from LaBrea.
Jamaica's Cakes
• I liked the cinnamon roll; filled with a sort of cinnamon paste, nicely browned.
• An oversized chocolate chip cookie was very good
• Eclairs were enormous – five inches around and almost all cream filling
• The cream puff was not for me, with a bittersweet (but fluffy) chocolate mousse filling.
• The "Scottish oat" scone was as dry as breadcrumbs.
• Love the butterscotch pudding
• Don't love the chocolate pudding; strange aftertaste
• Whoopie pies are cute, but inedible for anyone not actively pursuing adult-onset diabetes. (Even if you were, there are tastier ways to do it. Those cookies were thick and tough.)
• Iced molasses cookies were nothing special.
The best for last:
City Bakery
• Caramelized French toast caramelized French toast caramelized French toast They sell it at room temp in the pastry case; when they run out, you can order it a la carte (and it's hot. But why serve it with maple syrup? Talk about gilding the lily.). Hot, cold, room temperature – it's my green eggs and ham.
• An excellent oatmeal-chocolate cookie
• And a shout-out for the pretzel croissant; it was a red herring in this horse race (mixed metaphors! My favorite!), but based on reputation, I had to try it. I don't really taste pretzel, but there is enough salt to cut the sweetness you usually get in butter croissants. And damn, that's a flaky croissant.
• More than a morsel of the melted chocolate chip cookie seems like overkill – can anyone actually eat one?
• I really liked the baker's muffin last time; today, it seemed bland and a little doughy.
• The scone was the size of a tablecloth and approximated a dry muffin (what is it with scones?)
• A blueberry cornmeal muffin was dense and... not very nice.
• A coconut-blueberry tart was mostly the former and too sweet.
• Apricot tart with custard and almond-chocolate croissant: Winners both.
• Didn't care for "Wall Streets" – small rounds of chocolate or vanilla cake, made moist with nut paste. They'd be nice next to a cup of coffee to end a meal, but nothing I'd crave.
• A blueberry-custard danish teetered between good and sweet overkill
• Pain au chocolat was fine (but I'm hard pressed to get overexcited by pain au chocolat)
Maison du Pain: The day's most pleasant surprise.
• Excellent pain aux raisin, made with golden raisins.
• A square of just-sweet puff pastry, crisp on top, moist in the center and topped with pear.
• A chocolate chip cookie was fair, as was a bite-sized éclair.
• The big disappointment: a napoleon that tasted as if someone forgot to add sugar.
What I learned:
a. City Bakery for caramelized French toast and an oatmeal cookie fix.
b. Breadbar for apricot tart and almond croissants.
c. Maison du pain for pain aux raisin.
d. Even with so many new bakeries in L.A., there is still room for more – and a really great one will clean up.
Finally, while I tried to be fair and thorough in this process, I know it falls short. Bakeries may have been out of items that, had I tried, I would have loved. I may have overlooked as something that I should have bought. And, of course, I am one big fat personal opinion covered in skin, but what the hell: It was my pastry trek.

Perhaps you should have appended the title to "The great pastry trek is over...on the Westside" What about Europane, Pastries by Nancy, Auntie Em's, Petite Beaujolais, just for starters?
re: Briggs
Hi, Briggs. I've got nothing against the east side; I live here and love it. However, Europane, Pastries by Nancy and Petite Beaujolais are all more than a year old. As I said in the rules o' engagement, I limited the sampling to bakeries that had opened *in the last 12 months.* Auntie Em's falls under the mark (they opened last October), but I don't really think of it as a bakery; I've always seen it as a restaurant and catering service that also sells some baked goods. (And they're best known for their cupcakes, which I'm not including in this tasting - I wanted to find out what L.A.'s new bakeries are offering beyond the great cupcake frenzy.) Having said that, I'll go by tomorrow to see what they have.
Also, please see an earlier post I made when I outlined this plan and sought suggestions of other bakeries.
re: Dana Harris
My bad, sorry.
re: Dana Harris
Auntie Em's has been open much longer than a year. You may be thinking of their gourmet shop.
re: Eastsider
Cripes. You are right. Which is unfortunate for my survey, because their baked goods (which I tried after my original post) are stellar.
re: Briggs
I had the a marscapone and fig galette at Auntie Em's last week that knocked my socks off. Europane is always a home run, especialy the chocolate tart with hazelnuts. Where is Pastries by Nancy?
re: sambrown3
I am with you, sambrown3! Europane is one of my favorites, although I have not been there in more than a year; it is not solely for window-shoppers -- the pastry items actually taste delicious!
Also, I am still thinking about the carrot cupcake I had a Auntie Em's way too long ago...I dream about it, I think about it when I work out, and I even long for it when I am in OTHER bakeries!
I'm with you on both these places!
re: sambrown3
Pastries by Nancy is in Altadena. And, apparently, in Whittier as well.
re: LT from LF
pastries by nancy has really gone downhill. she sold to some guy and unless his lead baker is there, it's really not that good. too sweet. and he really messed up a birthday cake for us. the owner doesn't know the first thing about baking.
re: revets2
Wow, "2 my bads" in one thread. It has been a few years since I had her cakes which were wonderful. When did Nancy sell out, and is she no longer involved at all?
re: revets2
to respond to briggs (for some reason there's no reply button on the box, i think nancy sold almost 24 months ago). some of her girls are still there and they are what keep it ticking.
i'll not go into every horrible detail, but the bottom line is he bought the business, doesn't know what he's doing, and he's going to lose his staff as soon as they can find another job.
too bad. they made such beautiful cakes. but he really blew my nephew's birthday party.
you're right on about aunty em's though!
re: revets2
I am so very sad to hear that Nancy's has gone down hill. Nancy did our wedding cake...not to mention numerous birthday and shower cakes...and we loved them all. Her cakes were always beautifully adorned with flowers and the barvarian creme filling was to die for. This makes me wish she'd buy the business back.
re: surfer63
i think wheatberry is good, but not great. it's really an asian bakery overhauled to appeal to an american palette. that being said, you'll get lots of pretty good mousse cakes, but so-so breads, etc. i do like to stop by for lunch and love their cake and coffee idea. their help can be a little clueless.
Thanks for reporting back. The City Bakery did have outstanding cookies.
It's hard to believe Maison du Pain makes such great stuff and bakeries that are terrible do a better business. I really like the bread that has cream and sugar on top--yum!
Did you try the Emmenthaler bread at Breadbar--warm and slathered with Plugra--ahh...pure heaven.
Great post -- I'm not even a bakery person, but that was a good read, the type of thing I like finding on this board. Nice work.
saw that you were coming from highland park. if you don't want to make the trek all the way to breadbar, tao coffee in the bottom of cal plaza one at 300 s. grand ave. downtown, next door to MOCA, carries some of their pastries (mostly the AC, apricot and blueberry tarts). you need to get there early or request they save something for you. the almond croissants always disappear.
mendecino farms, next door (same owner), serves all their sandwiches on breadbar bread.
i think i'll ask if they can get that emmenthaler bread. yummy!
many thanks for the great report, btw.
re: revets2
Are the Tao almond croissants actually from BreadBar? In that case, you've just saved me a trip! I'd been meaning to go on a weekday afternoon, but the thought of the parking situation has kept me away.
Mendocino Farms apparently can do no wrong. Everyone raves about the sandwiches.
re: PseudoNerd
so you have had the almond croissant from tao or no?
you said in your almond croissant post:
"The almond croissants follow (but with the "anymore" dropped). The almond croissants, while really popular, fail for the following reasons: they're too sweet and are filled with something akin to almond paste. The paste-like substance has the right texture, but it lacks flavor; it's just an overly sweetened, bland THING found all over a croissant. To add insult to injury, the croissant itself lacks freshness and crispness-- yes, it's buttery, but it's also so butter-laden that it's SOGGY and weighed down."
mendocino's pretty good and they do have good sandwiches, but it's hard to beat pentolino (patina group) across the street. we alternate between the two when we're eating in.
re: revets2
I think you've misread my post, which was: The coffee and espresso drinks aren't *as* good anymore, but they're pretty good, considering. The almond croissants follow (but with the "anymore" dropped).
The almond croissants weren't good in the past, and I'm sure they're still not good. Frankly, I'm not interested in finding out because I have better things to do than waste my money on an item that looks the same as it did when I previously purchased and disliked it. The almond croissants aren't as good as those at (you fill in the blank).
The coffee and espresso drinks at Tao, on the other hand, were really quite good-- even better than the ones at RedCat-- when Donny was around. It's not as great now, but whatever; there's not much choice in the Bunker Hill area. Mendocino Farms, as I've said and NOT in an ironic manner, apparently can do no wrong. My friends and co-workers swear by the sandwiches. I'm not a fan of bread in general, so I really can't say I'd even want to try them. I can, however, say with confidence that the majority of the soups are pretty good.

media center & using your PC
I had a question regarding these two instances. With Windows XP Media Center, it seemed easier for my PC to run the Media Center on the secondary screen, and i was able on my primary monitor to surf the web, type a paper, etc. And the switching between the two monitors with minimal trouble.
I like the functionality of Media Center and i like using Windows 7, but i would like to know why it is so difficult to try and use my PC while media center is running. It wasn't hard in XP MCE for me to do both. It seems as though that whenever i try to use my PC while Media Centre is running it won't let me (in both Vista and 7). When it does, i can do it for a little bit until the mouse decides to jump to the media center again. Please can anyone shed some light of anyone has the same issue and/or knows why this happens?
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2010
Yeah in full screen it wants to own the mouse. If you make it windowed, then stretch it as big as you can it's fine.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
It might have something to do with your system RAM and CPU....not enough. Definitely upgrade your RAM to the maximum. The CPU might be a little on the under size for dual functionality of multiple apps and WMC but with the upgade in RAM should help a lot.
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2010
Thanks for your advice Desslock - it worked for the most part.
Bassfisher6522 - The issue i don't think is just the machine's specs itself. I am running a single core processor Intel Xeon , but its is over 3 Ghz, and the system memory is 3 GB. I do use a dedicated graphics card, a ATI Radeon 4350 HD. I had a friend that had similar specs running Windows 7 but the processor is a Core 2 Duo running at 2.6 Ghz, similar graphics card, and same amount of RAM. The same thing happened that the media center makes it hard to try to do other tasks on the pc when the media center is running (like the mouse keeps jumping screens while i try to, for example, surf the web). The performance is not the issue, its the fact that it seems media center wants to take primary control. so whenever i minimize my web browser, it immediately jumps back to the MC.
On my personal laptop, with Intel Extreme 2-64 MB shared w/ 1 GB of DDR 333 memory, 1.5 Ghz Pentium M 1MB L2 cache, S-Video out to my TV, can do both (w. Windows 7 Media Centre), but again the media center makes it hard to jump from the secondary display to primary. Also once i am able to surf the web it will frequently jump back to media center. I think judging from all 3 machines, i think Media Center will take over the computer no matter what since it is fully integrated into the OS rather than the add-on for XP-MCE. With the latter of the two, i found that it didnt give me headaches jumping back between screens and doing things on my PC while the MC is running.
For my personal laptop however, i did not use a PC Tuner card since it did not come with one (6 yr old laptop). I played a video file and then tried to jump screen to go to Firefox browser. the pointer kept jumping screens and the pointer would get "trapped" on that secondary monitor. Thanks for your advice, but i did check out the hardware and compared with another computer. I appreciate the help and thoughts!
|My System Specs
|04 Mar 2010
Yeah it's not PC performance. I have an i5-750, 4GB of DDR3 1600mHz RAM, and a GT220 vid card with 1GB of DDR3, and I experience the same.
|My System Specs
|05 Mar 2010
thanks for your reply. i was sure of it, but since software and hardware in computers change so rapidly, i was not sure if it was a performance/hardware issue, or if it was simply b/c Windows puts media center as a top priority so no matter what the mouse pointer will jump to media center's screen, and go to that application.
I was thinking also that it seemed as though MS built the media center as also an interface layer for Windows so that it is strictly a media center and nothing else (pending if media center is running or not).
I thought i was just crazy that i found it hard to switch and do tasks in windows vista and windows 7. then i thought about maybe using a dual core processor, but my friend had the same issue. Thanks again!

A new aggregate queue length algorithm for network bottlenecks
The persistent and growing problem of bufferbloat is getting serious relief from a new active queue management tool known as a Controlled Delay – a tool that, thanks to heroic efforts, is now ready for Linux.
The controlled delay management (CoDel) aggregate queue length (AQL) algorithm is the brainchild of Kathleen Nichols and Van Jacobson, who have been working on creating a workable active queue management (AQM) solution for modern broadband-rich networks for 14 years, according to Bell Labs programmer Jim Gettys (one of the creators of X Window), who has been vocal on the problem of bufferbloat that now plagues systems.
Gettys has written quite a bit about bufferbloat and has gotten a lot of people worked up about the continued health of the Internet. But if you've missed the discussion, here's a quick review

Rick Perry's Book Not Intended as Factual Statement About Rick Perry's Views
by Ilya Gerner
In the the olden times of 2010, Texas Executioner-in-Chief Rick Perry wrote a book titled Fed Up!, which expressed concerns about the Social Security system by comparing it to Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme and calling America's chief social insurance program, which serves 54 million beneficiaries, the equivalent of "fraudulent systems designed to take in a lot of money at the front and pay out none in the end."
Then, perhaps realizing that Democrats employ the kind of dastardly, underhanded political operatives who smear their political opponents by quoting their exact words, the Perry campaign decided to throw Rick Perry under the bus…
But since jumping into the 2012 GOP nomination race on Saturday, Mr. Perry has tempered his Social Security views. His communications director, Ray Sullivan, said Thursday that he had "never heard" the governor suggest the program was unconstitutional. Not only that, Mr. Sullivan said, but "Fed Up!" is not meant to reflect the governor's current views on how to fix the program. [...]
In an interview, Mr. Sullivan acknowledged that many passages in Mr. Perry's "Fed Up!" could dog his presidential campaign.
The book, Mr. Sullivan said, "is a look back, not a path forward." It was written "as a review and critique of 50 years of federal excesses, not in any way as a 2012 campaign blueprint or manifesto," Mr. Sullivan said.
Oh, sorry. Our mistake for thinking that something titled Fed Up! might be a little manifesto-y.
Anyway, bottom line, it's a shame to see a good man turn into a RINO. The Rick Perry who wrote that book was willing to stick to (and shoot) his guns, but apparently the Rick Perry who's running for president is just going to kowtow to the olds, those entitled jerks with their fancy disability, survivors' benefits and pension checks.

Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College Of Dentistry Baylor Dental Record Online
One of the most familiar faces around Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry belongs to Pat Lopez. As director of human resources, she works on behalf of all the dental school's employees. Lopez does not sit back and wait for things to happen; she makes every attempt to make them happen. She tries to do things that make a difference and looks for opportunities to make positive changes.

Something you might not know about me: I am learning to deer hunt, fish and experience the outdoors. I caught my first catfish!
Top two passions: Family and work
What my colleagues say about me:
Cindy Ceen, assistant dean for administration: We are very fortunate to have Pat as our human resources director. Her expertise and years of experience in human resources administration have helped us to address many difficult and sensitive issues, particularly during our merger into the Health Science Center and its evolving processes. She successfully guided us through the recent prolonged internal audit over a seventeen month period while meeting the challenges of increasingly complicated processes and providing services with reduced staff resources. Through all of this, she has graciously accepted the grief that typifies managing human resources and maintained her professionalism, enthusiasm and sense of humor. As chair of the board of Community Health Charities and through her participation in a number of other worthy endeavors, she devotes her personal time and talents to help others in the community. I am pleased to know her as a colleague and a friend.
Jim Cuaderes Jr., executive board member of Community Health Charities of Texas: Aside from being very outgoing and cheerful, she is very thoughtful. She knows that the actions she takes will affect more people than just her, and so she thinks about the consequences of her deeds and how other people will be impacted by her deeds. I enjoy being around Pat. HSC-BCD is very lucky to have Pat as an employee and HR director.
David Geisbush, executive director of Community Health Charities – Texas Affiliate: Visionary, Energetic and Caring. When I think of Pat Lopez, those words immediately come to my mind. As the chairman of the statewide board of directors for Community Health Charities, Pat has been the driving force in changes to our infrastructure and presentation modules, netting record-breaking donations for the health charities. Creative and caring, many times Pat has called me while she was relaxing in her garden or at the golf course to discuss better methods to promote the health agencies. Actually, I think Pat is secretly hoping medical research will someday give her a better golf swing. Until then, we're blessed that Pat spends most of her free time helping us find causes, cures and improved treatments for disease and disability.
Diana Taylor, human resources officer at the Health Science Center's Institute of Biosciences and Technology: I first met Pat Lopez when our respective institutions became components of the Health Science Center. Since then I have enjoyed working on several human resources projects with her. Over the years I have learned that Pat always presents her ideas persuasively and professionally and that she represents the Baylor College of Dentistry very well.

Was wondering if anyone can help me?
We are still running Macromedia Studio MX 2004. Usually we install this through a Ranger package but we would like to retire ranger if we can as we have found alternatives for all the Ranger does ... apart from installing some applications.
I had read that you could install applications that you haven't got MSI's for through command line using Impero. I have tried this but have had no luck. Could someone please help?
This is where the installer is located on our Applications server:
\\<ServerName>\Programs\ICT Admin\Installs\Macromedia\StudioMX2004\Install Studio MX 2004.exe
I am just unsure as to what switches I would use etc?
Any help is gratefully received.

Jay Bilas: Nets can find value pick in 20s
Jay Bilas doesn't feel this is a watered down draft.
Bilas, ESPN's college basketball analyst, thinks the Nets can find value if they stay pat at No. 22. In Bilas' eyes, there's should still be plenty of talent available in the latter stages of the first round when the draft gets going at the Barclays Center Thursday night.

UPDATE: Just incase we hadn't got the message that Solange and Beyonce are still as close as ever, Bey's just speled it out for us. The singer uploaded a snap of herself hanging out with her sister over the weekend, captioning it with the date it was taken. 'New Orleans May17th 2014,' she wrote, making it clear that they're still hanging out and are still smiling.
Solange also shared a sisterly photo at the end of last week. The throwback snap shows her and Bey as children. It's the first picture of Beyonce's she's uploaded to her Instagram account since she deleted all shots of her sister after *that* lift incident.
14 MAY 2014: Solange Deletes Beyonce From Her Instagram Account
[Beyonce's added a series of pictures of herself and Solange to Instagram]
Breaking news! Beyonce has just-this-minute uploaded four Instagram pictures of Solange in a row. The snaps, uploaded over a period of just three minutes appear to be throwback pictures of Bey and her sister.
The shots show the pair hugging onstage at Coachella, cuddling in the back of a pick-up truck and generally messing around, plus there's also a seriously retro snap of them together at an event. Most of the photos are uncaptioned, but Bey's captioned the first 'Good Morning' along with an emoji of a bee.
As Instagram appears to be the new place for celebrities to show their true feelings about friends and family, could this mean all is well again in the Knowles camp? It certainly seems like Bey's making a statement, especially since it's not #throwbackthursday and none of these snaps are new. There's been no change to Solange's Beyonce-free account yet though.
Beyonce also shared a snap of herself hanging out with Rihanna at the Met Ball, suggesting rumours that Solange's attack on Jay Z was because he was planning to attend Rihanna's Met Ball bash without Beyoncé might be untrue.
13 MAY 2014: Solange Deletes Beyonce From Her Instagram Account
The pop universe imploded yesterday when a video appearing to show Solange Knowles attacking Jay Z in an elevator was leaked online. The clip shows Beyonce's sister kicking and swinging at her brother-in-law, who doesn't retaliate, while at the Standard Hotel in New York City after the Met Ball last Monday. Beyonce is also in the elevator but doesn't get involved.
It's unclear what triggered the fight, but since the video hit TMZ, social media sleuths have been taking a close look at the stars' social media accounts to try and work out why it happened.
Radar Online's reporting that Solange has deleted all pictures of Beyonce from her @SaintRecords Instagram account except one vintage shot posted 15 months ago. The photo, taken in 2013, shows Solange and her sister with a pal and is captioned 'Girls moment. @baddiebey @msmelina'.
Solange's social media cull is reminiscent of Selena Gomez' deleting spree after Coachella. The actress mysteriously stopped following all her friends from the account and deleted pictures of herself and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
Over on Beyonce's Instagram, fans are speculating that a a cryptic prayer the singer posted just two days after the Met Ball could be related to the elevator fight.
'Help me to choose friends wisely so I won't be led astray,' it said 'Give me discernment and strength to separate myself from anyone who is not a good influence. I release my relationships to You and pray that Your will be done in each one of them.'
While the sisters' social media moves are intriguing, it seems they're still getting on with real life as normal. According to E!, they headed off to Costa Rica together late last week to join Kelly Rowland for a secret wedding. UsWeekly reports it was a 'quick, simple ceremony - only around 30 people'.
Take a look back at Solange and Beyonce's Instagram and Tumblr snap history in the gallery below...

text: Items 13 to 24 of 66 total Previous 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 6 Next View: 12 / 24 / 48 Louder than i expected By JoeSuff on 4/30/2014 JoeSuff wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I was able to purchase one of these at a great price slightly used on C~glist from a guy shutting down his frag tanks. I was excited 'cause i was going to use it with a MP40w on a 120 tank and place it on the back glass behind the rock. Unfortunately when i added it to the tank i could hear the motor frequency wind out as i played with the different settings. I never was able to hear it in the in store display. But due to all the white noise in a store it never bothered me like it did in my living room. I plumed my sump to my basement just so i wouldn't have to listen to my tank. In the end I was able to exchange it for credit on a Calc reactor from the same person i purchased it from. My solution was a pair of Tunze 6055's they are almost dead silent. Great little pump with many setting options By Sunny on 4/30/2014 Sunny would recommend this product to a friend I just bought an MP10w ES from bulk reef supply for my 65 gallon aquarium. I am in the process of converting my FOWLR to a Reef. At this point I only have two small fragments. I decided to go with the wireless option so I can add more in the future once I add more corals. The product came packaged very well. Installation was a breeze. For now I have it set on the random lagoon mode, yet to play around with other settings. They have a whole bunch of options on this little pump. The pump has been operating for a couple of days, seems to move a lot of water and is very silent. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. I preferred to spend once on a quality product rather than buy a pump first, then add a wave maker etc. I think the product is worth the money. Best Powerhead you can buy By Tristan on 4/30/2014 Tristan would recommend this product to a friend Ive had my mp10w es in my tank for a month now, and i have never been happier with any other piece of equipment. Excellent build quality, excellent performance, ultimate controllability. Powerful yet broad flow, many modes to create whatever flow pattern you could imagine. Made me buy a second one By Richard on 4/30/2014 Richard would recommend this product to a friend I think the is pump is amazing! After setting it up and adjusting the wet and dry sides and let it run in everything went smooth as could be. I just bought another one on Saturday so I can run them together. I have seen videos of them running in Sync and Anti sync and I can't wait. If you have the money to burn I would definitely put this at the top of the list. Works great By james on 4/30/2014 james would recommend this product to a friend I did not get this from here(did not look hard enough but wish I did)but love this pump, very easy setup, programing was not too bad, but flow is great. I have it in my solana and it can realy get the water moving in there! Powerful little pump By Carl on 4/30/2014 Carl would recommend this product to a friend I started with one of these guys mainly because i liked the idea of the low profile in the tank. Impeller inside, motor outside, why not right? I quickly found two inside my tank... Aside from their form factor, i really enjoy how broad their flow is. It reaches very wide, and creates some great undertow. The pump wont go that far, hence my 2nd purchase but now with two I can dial it down to a lower level to achieve the same flow. Like some previous reviews have stated, it does make some noise especially if you have it cranked up 80% or more output. The programming is capable of creating about any flow action you could desire, from pure random changes to pulsing wave action. I am thoroughly pleased with the product however i cannot recommend it to anybody, as some people's taste for noise may differ from mine. I can say that if you're looking into these pumps purchase LARGER than what you require because dialing it down will alleviate alot of the noise, and even provide you with the headroom to make more changes to your system. The price tag isnt for everybody either, but hey, sometimes hobbies are expensive =) Solid Contollable Wireless Pumps By Nathan on 4/30/2014 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend Installed 2 of these in my 60 cube and they are still working perfect. Controlling them with a Apex. Pricy but worth it. Good By patrick on 4/30/2014 patrick would recommend this product to a friend It is a great pump, not such a great price. If you have the money, Id buy it. I love mine! Vor Tech Rocks!!!! By Kimberly on 4/30/2014 Kimberly would recommend this product to a friend We love it! Amazing how much more our polyp extension on our corals are already. Its a beautiful thang! The programmable modes are a great feature, it took the place of 2 coralias. No regrets. Well designed and engineered By Geoffrey on 4/30/2014 Geoffrey would recommend this product to a friend I use two MP10w Es and a MP40w in my 90 gallon reef tank. Expensive but the water flow and tidal effect are great. You won't regret it By Ismael on 4/30/2014 Ismael would recommend this product to a friend This is my second mp10 my first one is 2yrs old and haven't had any problems besides getting a little more noisier than It was when I first purchased it. You can't go wrong with ecotech there quality is great. They are a little pricey but well worth it. There isn't another pump out there with this type of control or features. Really good By Ruben on 4/30/2014 Ruben would recommend this product to a friend Great pump, little expensive but well worth the money Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: VorTech MP10w ES Propeller Pump - EcoTech Marine *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

martini gouging
As a way of controlling our restaurant dinner costs, my husband and I often order martinis with the house gin. We inquire what that gin is and most times it is Beefeater or similar. When the bill comes, a more expensive gin has been substituted and the price is higher than we anticipated.
Here are my questions--
Is it gauche to ask how much a martini is before ordering? Most menus don't include this information.
How does one handle the situation when the more expensive gin is used especially when dining with others? Thanks for your advice.
The restaurant WANTS you to think it's gauche to ask, that's why they don't put the prices there. They are more expensive than you would think. Go ahead and ask.
Ask them to make the drink you want with the type of booze you want. Because it's your favorite. If the bill comes and it 2 bucks higher, no problem, but if it's $20 higher than expected, I would probably ask about it. Maybe not in front of everyone at the table, but maybe off to the side.
re: wyogal
Oh, come on. :-) They don't put the prices on the menu because statistically, people feel better about spending money on something when the price tag isn't staring them in the face... it's one of the first things you learn about menu design in restaurant management school, but the restaurant manager isn't sitting in back, twisting his moustache, conspiring ways to emotionally manipulate you into not asking how much things cost.
re: muscles_marinara
You pretty much confirmed her point, which is that it's a manipulative marketing technique. She didn't say anything about mustache twirling.
Personally, if I were trying to control costs, I would not be ordering martinis in restaurants which don't list their price.
re: muscles_marinara
and what I learned in the class (yes, cooking school/hospitality management), is that customers will spend more if there are no prices. It has nothing to do with customer comfort, it has everything to do with the bottom line: profit.
And yes, the manager may not have a moustache, but he/she is definitely conspiring on how to best get the most $$ he/she can out of the customer.
re: muscles_marinara
Don't know where you drink your cocktails, but I can't think of any bar/restaurant that DOESN'T put prices on their cocktail menu . . .
Granted, if one just walks in the front door, saddles up to the bar, and orders a drink, then he/she will have no idea what it costs, but if one is looking at their cocktail menu . . . . they ALWAYS have prices on them -- at least in my own humble experience.
re: zin1953
Yeah but they never have a regular martini on the cocktail menu, it's always some kind of tarted-up cocktini
Asking how much a drink costs is only a problem if you feel it might make you look cheap in front of dining companions. The restaurant should be happy to tell you if you ask.
If the restaurant has overcharged you or delivered something you didn't ask for, then I would ask your server to refund the difference. Life's too short to go to clip joints, so if they don't happily give me a refund plus an apology then I will not be going back to that restaurant.
Wait, you ASK them to use house gin, they substitute a more expensive gin (without telling you) and then charge you for it? That's pure fraud. No way do you pay for it, and if it happens more than once I'd probably quietly ask to see the manager and tell him that his staff is deliberately defrauding customers. There's no excuse for that whatsoever. If no result, I'd probably report to the better business bureau and also drop an email to a local newspaper that reports on the food scene.
re: monopod
couldn't agree more...the no price thing may be a sales tactic, but I would never buy anything without knowing how much first
re: BiscuitBoy
I realized I was out of my league at the Four Seasons bar in Manhattan, in 1998, when I bought 3 martinis for my 2 guests and me, handed the barkeep a fifty, and he deadpanned back to me : "that's not enough".
Please, ask the price. We're happy to let you know. If a waiter scoffs at you for asking the price (or worse, scoffs at your selection), then ask the maître d' if it would be possible to have a different waiter, that the one you were given doesn't seem very interested in serving you.
You handle the switch job exactly the same whether you are with others or not. Ask for the manager and let him know that you were charged for something that you didn't order. It's just the same as if you had ordered a small steak, and they brought you a large one and charged you for it.
I make it a rule not to order any drink without a price. If they pull that, I stick with water.
No, in any worthwhile place, it's not gauche to ask how much something costs. The only places where it would be considered gauche are expensive places where people go, not for the quality of the food or drink, but to appear rich. Brand new Manhattan pan-asian fusion place with mediocre reviews and a 4 million dollar dining room? Probably gauche. Pretty much any place not like that? Probably not.
It's also not gauche to tell your server that they messed up the order, and they should realize that their doing so shouldn't cost you money. If they, somehow, don't realize that, a quick conversation with a manager should smooth things out. If not, asking for the owner's contact info isn't out of the question.
I juts don't trust most places to make me a cocktail, especially a martini. Odds are the vermouth is stored on the shelf, and has been there for a while. Not that it matters because the bartender will likely conform to modern styles and put just a dribble of vermouth into my chilled gin and then drop a toothpick loaded with olives into the thing. I know, lots of people must like this drink, but I never enjoyed a martini until I started making it the classic way, with way more fresh vermouth, a dash of orange bitters, and a lemon twist. The idea of olives and gin together literally makes my stomach turn.
re: The Big Crunch
"the classic way, with way more fresh vermouth, a dash of orange bitters, and a lemon twist."
Where is this identified as the "classic" martini?
re: FrankJBN
Here and many other places.
re: FrankJBN
Also see:
As far as I know, the bitters was the first ingredient to disappear. Gin and vermouth were roughly in equal parts. Then, more gin-to-vermouth, than still more gin-to-vermouth, then merely letting the Martini glass *see* the bottle of vermouth . . . . .
re: zin1953
I rarely see people mention martinis with sweet vermouth, but in the one article you linked, Robert Hess says that was the original intent.
I have made several "sweet" martinis and I quite like them, but I find equal parts dry vermouth with gin to be not as appealing. I have heard blanc vermouth works well, have you tried that? Some Dolin blanc is on my list to get.
re: ncyankee101
At home, I use Caprano Antica Formula vermouth, which is definitely white but on the sweeter side -- and only use dry vermouth if friends insist. ;^) That said, I haven't tried the orange bitters, so I can see I have some mixology on tap for the weekend.
re: zin1953
Zin- Try the new Angostura Orange bitters. I think they are the most complex of the orange bitters. Second choice Regan's and Fee''s, but they don't have as much orange to them.
re: zin1953
If your grocery store sells regular Angostura they should have the orange
re: JMF
Interesting thing about the Angostura... Both "Bitters: A Spirited history" and "The PDT Cocktail Book" suggest combining equal parts Regan's and Fee Brothers for a superior orange bitters. I did that a while back and have used it as my go-to orange bitters for a while. However, out of curiosity, I picked up a bottle of Angostura orange a month or two back and was surprised to find that it closely resembled my Regan-Fee Frankenbitter combo. In the future, I'll likely just buy the Angostura.
re: ncyankee101
Tried sweet and didn't care for it. Same with perfect. There's something about the combo of gin and sweet vermouth that doesn't sit well with my palate. I've tried a few other old school cocktails that were variants of the gin/sweet vermouth pairing (with the Martinez being the most obvious) and none of them left me very pleased.
On a complete side track, I made a Delmonico last night which prominently features brandy, gin, and both sweet and dry vermouth. Somehow that managed to go over like gangbusters with me! I never thought about the combo of brandy (Landy VS) and Gin (Plymouth), but they really seem to work well together.
re: FrankJBN
Check out any decent cocktail history book. Dale DeGroff or Robert Hess both give good overviews on the martini in its earlier form in their excellent books. Most cocktails historians/buffs/geeks believe the Martini originated from the Martinez, and thus originally used sweet vermouth which was more commonly found behind pre-Prohibition bars than French Vermouth. The original meaning of a "dry martini" was not a martini virtually devoid of any vermouth, but a martini that used dry vermouth. Older recipes often went as much as 2:1 gin to vermouth. My magic number is 2.5:.75. The lemon is obvious because it's a better natural match to gin, and is also the most common fruit juice used in cocktails. Orange bitters were used quite a lot in classic cocktails but became harder to find after prohibition, which is one of the most likely reasons they fell out of favor in martinis.
By all means, make any drink you enjoy, after all, that is the point of making a drink. But to me, the modern conception of a martini is so different from the classic versions as to be an entirely different drink altogether.
If a restaurant or bar cannot serve you what you specifically ordered, they have a duty to so advise you and not just choose to substitute at their whim, especially if their whim tis o serve something more expensive.
You order a glass of house wine at $5, they serve a glass of Paulliac at $30 without saying. You're going to accept this?
Conversely, a customer does not have a duty to pay a higher price than that charged for what they ordered if they have not been advised of the change.
In front of friends? If I didn't complain in front of my friends in this situation, they'd be asking why I let myself get ripped off.
I've been to some places that do not list martini prices but do list the price for a shot of different liquors. I know some restaurant bars that will list a martini as say 'Tanqueray shot x 2 = $14.' Still isn't the same as listing the exact price of a martini but I've noticed places doing this. The changing of the gin from house to something more expensive is completely unacceptable. I would probably say to the waiter "Remember, we ordered the house gin.' If he/she won't adjust the bill, I wouldn't go back.
