Microsoft recants branding excess with model merger
Microsoft's long march towards model-based development has seen it integrate its latest effort with the Visual Studio and the .NET Framework teams. The company said it's also scaled back on the wide-ranging use of the phrase "Oslo" to describe the modeling initiative, saying it had "really confused customers". Oslo joins .NET, …
not caught on?
"The modeling work, though, has not caught on in the mass market as Microsoft probably hoped."
I'm not surprised. I mean, if I can read an article on it, and not get an inkling of what it's all actually supposed to do, it's going to be a hard sell to get me to want to use it.
I don't get it
I never liked Vista. When I bought this laptop I downgraded it XP, and dual booting it with Linux. Therefore, I never cared for Vista, and its family.
Just have two version light version for netbooks, and second for both business, and home. That's all...
marketing non-products
Same problem here as Henry. After reading this I am no more the wiser as to what Oslo is or could be, if anything. There's a large blob of buzzphrases in the middle of it (refering to ADO.NET et al). I've seen ADO.NET used for SQL queries and pretty, if rather rigid, tables, and XML has its obvious use as a data interchange format; neither of these are real applications in themselves.
.NET suffered the same PR problem when it was released, because it doesn't do anything by itself - but it does provide an excellent application development framework. Is Oslo another one? Do we really need another one? What are the potential or real applications of Oslo? What, in fact, is it? The article seemed to imply it might be some kind of programming language, but it buzzes too loudly to be penetrable.
Maybe they need a new naming schema?
I have the feeling that most people would be more likely to use software that has a name a bit more indicative of what it does...I cannot imagine that most people would be likely to think, "Oh, I should check out Adobe Boston, Intuit London or VMware Vladivostok!", unless they are a tourist.
I suppose it could have been worse, though...they've already used "Bob" for something else.
Landgrap of the fiefdoms
The trouble, here, is that - as with .NET - there was a genuine product (and an idea), here, at one stage, but every secondrate manager in Redmond in charge of a failing business unit has made a grab to get their product rebranded as an 'Oslo' product. Senior Partners - the Bewildered Old men, who haven't really been able to grasp what was going on since they took away the 'peek' and 'poke commands' - nonetheless remain protective of their little fiefdoms, and work tirelessly to shoehorn their product (one that should never have retained its funding in the firstplace), into the latest buzzword-protection envelope, because once within that envelope it automatically becomes 'strategic' and no one can question its viability.
Thus, "Wireless Server 2008" becomes "Oslo Wireless Server 2009", and the meme pool begins to look more and more like a sewer - as into it, is poured yet another muddled explanation as to why "Wireless Server Two-Thousand-and-Real-Soon-Now, hooks into the Oslo paradigm shift". (One bloke I spoke to, from the Redmond Campus, once told me that, as a joke, someone convinced a senior partner that 'Bluetooth' stood for 'Binary Logic Unigram Encoded Throughput in Object Oriented Transmisson Hierarchies', or something... and then let him do a presentation on it. At the end of the presentation, no one spoke up, because the partner was a level 64, or something. Is this story true, or legend? Who knows, but the very fact that people at Redmond still tell this tale to one another probably says something about how the Partners are percieved by those below them.)
I thought .NET was supposed to be going all MVC?
Check out
and the word 'Model' is there certainly - but what about View or Controller.
According to Wikipedia SP1 for .NET 3.5 says: 'Two new assemblies for web development, System.Web.Abstraction and System.Web.Routing, have been added; these are used in the ASP.NET MVC Framework and, reportedly, will be utilized in the future release of ASP.NET Forms applications.'

Rebuilding Bithlo
United Global Outreach hopes its success transforming the town of Bithlo can become a model for other struggling Orange County communities
Published: June 25, 2014
Today that school, Orange County Academy, is a K-9 with 70 students. Lynx has re-established bus service to the town, which also now has its own community garden and library. A mobile dental clinic and community health center operate in Bithlo. Florida Hospital, student groups from the University of Central Florida and more than 65 businesses and organizations have partnered with United Global Outreach in Bithlo. United Global Outreach has been purchasing land around a little group of buildings it owns in Bithlo and hopes to expand on what it calls the Transformation Village.
"It will be the town center in Bithlo, eventually," McKinney says. "It will have a coffee shop, a community center, a community school, an aquaponics garden."
McKinney says the Transformation Village – which consists of some concrete block buildings painted with bright murals, a playground and a fire-engine-red Victorian that houses the library – is not just for Bithlo. He says it's also a model for what can happen in other Central Florida communities. Soon, he says, the organization will likely begin to work in South Apopka, where three nuns – Sisters Cathy Gorman, Gail Grimes and Ann Kendrick – founded the Hope Community Center to help the area's working poor. McKinney says that despite a lot of effort and resources, there has yet to be "fundamental transformation" in Apopka. He says he thinks part of the problem is that everybody is doing their own thing to help, but they aren't doing it in a coordinated way. United Global Outreach attributes a great deal of its success in Bithlo to its partnerships. In addition to Apopka, he hopes to see the program roll out in Eatonville, and eventually perhaps Azalea Park and Ivey Lane.
One significant difference between the places United Global Outreach is targeting next and where it started in Bithlo, though, is that these communities already have things Bithlo was lacking: functioning infrastructure, health services, transportation and intact local governments. McKinney says they're going to have to step somewhat lightly to make sure they get buy-in, not pushback, from these communities, which naturally have developed their own way of doing things. However, McKinney says, the bottom line is that every community needs some of those basic things they started with in Bithlo – and he knows where to go to find the people who are thirsting for them.
"We don't want to roll in and invade the community," McKinney says. "We will go in, like we did in Bithlo, and start doing things not just with the community organizations and the government, but with the little old lady who sits on her porch. We'll really get into the fabric of the community and find out what the dots are that need to be connected."

The Richland School Board will vote on December 9 to establish new elementary school boundaries. Board members reviewed two final options Tuesday night and agreed that Option A is their choice. "Changing boundary lines is never easy and we thank all the parents and community members who reviewed the proposals in recent weeks and gave us their input. It was very helpful," stated Phyllis Strickler, board president.
The Richland High DECA chapter is making sure that some orphans and needy children overseas are receiving a Christmas present this year. The DECA students collected small gifts and personal items and packaged them into shoeboxes as part of Operation Christmas Child. "The students were motivated to support Operation Christmas Child after one of their classmates related how she received a shoebox gift while living in a Ukrainian orphanage and how meaningful that was," explains Stephanie Schirm, RHS DECA advisor.

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander says his Chief of Staff has been placed on leave after learning the staffer's home was being searched as part of a child pornography investigation.
In a news release, the Tennessee Republican said he had just been informed by the senate legal counsel's office that law enforcement agents were conducting a search of Ryan Loskarn's home. Loskarn is the Chief of Staff in Alexander's Washington, D.C. office.
Alexander says he was "stunned, surprised and disappointed" by the news.
He says that he immediately placed Loskarn on administrative leave without pay and that his office is fully cooperating with the investigation.

- JohnTDined on 11/22/2014While the quality of the food and the preparation was quite good the selection of items for Gluten free was lacking. So many other restaurants have many more options. Gluten free pasta is not a hard item to handle, sauces need not have wheat as thickeners . Wait staff were patient and helpful in selecting menu items that met our requirements but for there to be only a few entrees was surprising these days. Look forward to returning when there are more choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SteakOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/15/2014Went here on a Saturday for dinner, it was busy but the service was fast. Make sure you have a reservation and if it just two, try and get a booth. Food is always great !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BizlunchmanDined on 11/6/2014Overall experience was very good, h'ever takes too long for service staff to deliver check for payment. I've been to Canyon Creek several times and this has alwasy been the issue. Have to chase down service staff on this matter.Special Features:
- Great place for our Family/FriendsKitsDined on 10/30/2014My friends loved the food selection and wine list. The hot grain bread was a hit with everyone e and of course with their food order. The noise level was high ! We will definitely visit again and again. The staff and servers were very courteous and prompt. Of course there is always room for improvement ! A small delay getting a second warm bread during our meal. Overall a great experience and very delicious meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- disappointed disorganized serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/18/2014I was really disappointed with the sloppy service in seating. When I arrived there were one other party ahead of me. The restaurant was not busy. I clearly stated I was waiting another lady to join me to the fellow that seated me. Apparently there was no communication between him and the others seating guest. I received a phone call from my lunch partner wondering were I was. My car was in the parking lot but when she went inside to inquire about me she was told there was no other single woman awaiting a guest and I was not there. We eventually found one another by cell contact and having me stand up from my table and wave my arms like signaling in a 747 to land. No excuse for such sloppy customer serviceSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/9/2014The ribs were the best we have had in a long time aned worth another visit soon. The pickerel was done to perfection. Wine selection was more than adequate.Special Features:
- JeannetteVIPDined on 10/7/2014It was my birthday and the entire fmily loved the restaurant and atmosphere. The menu catered to everyone's food choice. We had a lovely evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was too burntdinner1Dined on 10/6/2014I go to cannon creek often. I really enjoy it. I went here because it was a special event and thought it would be fitting. The table we sat at for a table of 8 was very crowded. The lightly (although it is supposed to be dimmed) was very dark on one side of the table and really tight to the point I personally pulled the table out to allow my parents to fit to sit in their seats. The food- quality was poor compared to other cannon creeks. The steaks were burnt, cooked ok but burnt. The service was great the food was poor. It was an important dinner, food was disappointing.Special Features:
- Not up to parKylieMDined on 10/4/2014We were given a table right by the door to the kitchen. Given that we had made a reservation over 2 weeks in advance, we expected better than this. It was extremely noisy with a large party right beside us. We will not be in a hurry to return.Special Features:
- Changes I don't like....AlannaDined on 10/1/2014Wednesdays used to be wine night....any wine bottle for $25.00. Which was a FANTASTIC foodie experience. It`s was impossible to be a true foodie, with wine pairings, on a tight budget. Not anymore.... Also the bacon-butter-tart dessert was AMAZING....and now it`s gone too! I definitely don`t go to Canyon Creek as often now
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/27/2014Excellent service from our waitress Veronica. Like the new menu. Overall great evening- food was really good (ribs & fries)Special Features:

Second was a celebration for our sons 18th birthday. Both times the service and food was outstanding. I do live closer to another location, but am afraid to try as the service here is worth the drive.... It is our new favourite restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Mediocre food and ambiancemisskarmenDined on 8/20/2014The salmon did not have any flavour and did not meet my expectations in terms of value. The service was good, but not amazing. Our waitress did not seem very knowledgeable about the menu items when questioned. The ambiance was not as romantic as I had expected. The lighting was still relatively bright and the noise level was higher than I would have preferred.Special Features:
- Pick the right night to gonotafoodcriticDined on 8/18/2014I have found that on a Monday or Tuesday the food is noticeably less well prepared. I also think the staffing is maybe the B-Team. I usually love the food for the price. But we have always gone on a Friday or Saturday. I wonder if the staff is simply better on the busier nights. Too bad if that is the case.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FrancoAmericanDined on 8/15/2014No real value for the money. Factory food. As for service, they must have a high churn in servers as they were all confused.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014Food was great..ribs were fall off the bone tender! Service was good. We were near a large party, so quiet conversation was difficultSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome ServerBirthdaygirl2014Dined on 8/12/2014Our server must have overheard me talking about receiving an orange for my birthday instead of a cupcake. When it he brought out our desert he also brought out an orange with a sparkler in it. He definitely went above and beyond to make this a memorable evening! I think the birthday orange might be a new tradition.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryBob2dayDined on 8/9/2014We were celebrating our anniversary. The food was excellent. Service was great. Have often recommended Canyon Creek in the past to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantVicuskaDined on 8/4/2014We are always returning to Canyon Creek. We enjoy the good food and the new items on the menu keep it fresh. The last experience was one of the best. The food was great and the service was excellent. We always go there when we have guests we want to treat to a good meal or when we have celebrations with friends and we have never been disappointed. All loved the place. I even treated friends from Europe who said there is no Canadian food. We choose all items from the menu that was Canadian ( the beef, the mushrooms, the salads and some other things) and I have managed to convince them the Canadian food is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal!JsjakerDined on 8/3/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Canyon Creek Sherway. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The waitress was especially nice - professional and helpful at all times. When she found out it was one of our party's birthday, she brought a complimentary dessert to him without our asking.

Need recs for a place to eat near Scoops on Heliotrope
- f
- fishybear10 Jan 10, 2007 06:52 PM
I need to find a decent place to eat around Scoops on Heliptrope and Melrose.
FWIW, One of my favorite 'combo meals' is lunch in Thai town and then Sc00p's for dessert. It's maybe a ten minute drive....
There is also a place right next door to Sc00p's but I have yet to try it or even check out their menu.
No! Scoops for Dinner!!! ;)
J/K... mostly... you can try Ricon Chileno which is actually rather nearby... :)
Cha Cha Cha is quite nearby.
There's also a pretty good Thai place even closer on Melrose near Normandie called Prael I think.
And there's always Pizza Paul, which some on the board seem to like.
Marouch is close enough, as is Falafel Arax and then there's always the very groovy Gran Burrito on @ Santa Monica & Vermont. Wow. What a neighbhorhood!
There's a really cool funky Korean dive directly across from Scoops called Pure Luck. It looks like a movie location inside. (Outside, too, come to think of it.) The stir fry was delicious (if a bit spicy for my wimpy tastebuds) and the wings were amazing. It's the kind of place where you take a date and she says, "How did you know this was here?"
The proprietors are very nice, but don't speak a word of English (though the menu lists everything in both languages, & you can point.)
I love that block. It'll be Montana Avenue in about fifteen minutes, but for now, it's cool.
Pure Luck, 707 Heliotrope.
I wondered about that place -- so it's pretty much like the Prince, a bar with food, I imagine? Remember when it was some groovy place -- Cafe Mambo, maybe?
Yikes, Patty, I thought I was the only person still around who recalled the existence, let alone location, of that version of Cafe Mambo, which IIRC, was a contemporary of ChaChaCha in its first incarnation.
I'd ditto the reference to Marouch, and variously arranged Thai places (though it's been 5 or more years since I went there, my recollection is that "Spicy Thai BBQ" in the mini-mall at Santa Monica and Normandie was pretty good. I haven't tried the Melrose Thai places yet. Then, of course, in roughly the same neighborhood, there's always Zankou. While I know the CH reviews are mixed, Saveur Magazine has Zankou in their "100 Favorite Things" this year.
r gould-saltman
just flew back in from Colorado and boy are my arms tired...
re: silverlakebodhisattva
Yeah, I did that once: went to "Spicy and BBQ" (or whatever it's called) to get a real good burn on, and then immediately to Scoops to put the fire out. A beautiful day it was.
there is a korean "po jang ma cha" (like korean izakaya) directly across the street from heliotrope/scoops. its sort of like "tang song sah" in ktown. with a young crowd, small dishes...
el rincon chileno is across the street on melrose. i'd like to hear how their cazuela is, and last time i walked by they had "erizos" (sea urchin) on the menu.
pizza paul is on the same stretch and i hear its good but have never been.
The empanadas at the already mentioned Rincon Chileno are great and make a nice pairing with Scoops.
for today's lunch there was Makkah Halal Tandoori on Vermont and 4th; with spouse, Pup and friend
and then hit Scoops for
"Smoked Chocolate/Wasabi Mousse" ("smoked" by adding lapsang soochong tea!) and
"Chai/Tiramisu" (me)
"Pomegranate/Poppy Seed" and
"Fig/Campari" (spouse)and
"Chocolate/Pumpkin" (the guys)
there's a genius at work, there!

It was kind of a motion sickness inducing earthquake this time. It´s interesting how differently they manifest. Once we got one that was all noise and almost no shaking. Some have been silent. The one last week was noise and quick shake. Then, this one was silent and slow shake.Yes OP, I´d love to see Noah bomb at the box office, but I don´t think it´s going to happen. If I thought the making of it was sincere I´d be cheering for it, but knowing it´s a cynical repurposing ... no.

When a 5.1 goes off under your ... chair ... you feel it, and this was right under a heavily populated part of Orange County. I´m about fifty miles west and it was just a little shaker here, rolling motion that rattles the windows slightly but no more. A week ago we had a 3.1 right under my feet, and that was much scarier!

I was in the Loma Prieta quake in ´89 and about 6 weeks or so before that, we had a 5.4 (iirc) foreshock. Of course, they didn´t know if was a foreshock until the real event (7.1) came along. When the foreshock hit, I was on the 12th floor of a dorm at Stanford and I felt it quite strongly from 30 miles away. It will be interesting if tonight´s is a foreshock.

We had a 5.6 earthquake here a couple of years ago. I´ve been through hurricanes, tornadoes and an earthquake. Scariest was the earthquake because you aren´t quite sure how bad it will get or where you need to be. No thanks. I´ll take hurricanes any day.

Hurricanes? No thanks. Far too frequent.Earthquakes are seldom as devastating as a major hurricane.About 24 miles from La Habra, we felt this one because we were sitting in recliners on second floor watching basketball. It was a shaker, but the ssveral shakes were slow. A local television cameraman who lives in La Habra gave rather a long report last night. He agreed that it was a shaker = he should know.I checked house. Nothing had moved, not even crystal.

PS. To the media, everything south of San Francisco seems to be in Los Angeles. This quake was in Orange County. Fullerton-Brea-La Habra are never considered to be in Los Angeles. Nearly 30 miles from downtown LA.

Not to minimize the real damage to property and anxiety suffered by fellow humans... but the stereotype-buttressing picture at Drudge was priceless to us in flyover country:a slender, forever twenty-something--coiffed in elfen-styled blue hair, wearing a black, faux-furred jacket, black tights with silver (duct tape?) wrapped around her thighs, grounded in tan, cow-gurl boots--stands stooped over aluminum cans of hair product, quake-tossed from white shelves across the pale tiled floor of a sterile, white countered, white walled, white ceilinged beauty supply business.One useful metric for determining whether you want to live some place is the number of hyphens it takes to describe it.

A native Caliornian who has been privileged to travel a great part of the world and our wonderful country, I would not live anywhere else.We are just as happy when those elsewhere can come up with a gazillion cockamamie (to us) reasons why they would not want to live in California. Works for us. The influx during the Dust Belt era brought us welfare-seekers aka Democrats.We are delighted to have beautiful weather when a fair amount of the country is having snow and hurricanes, tornadoes, you name it. Fresh fruits and vegetables when others are waiting for thaw to even plant them. We should have our tomatoes in now. How about you? And I pulled seven huge Eureka lemons off our tree yesterday. Gorgeous.One gaudy young woman in a beauty supply store does not exemplify us. Just the provincial attitude of those who really love to tear us down. Good luck with that!We don´t envy you. We also don´t denigrate you and the places where you and perhaps your families before you have chosen to live. We stick with you through all of your nasty weather, offering prayers and moral support.In times like these we need to band together, not rudely create separations within our own conservative ranks.Think about it...

Know what you mean, #11. In reality there are many "Californias" just as there are many "Tennessees."But everyone knows what image is intended to be evoked when you hear "Tennessee" in a generic context: rednecks, Appalachia, country music, pickup trucks, and (hopefully still) Bible Belt.We encompass all those things, but additionally inner-city Memphis, world-class German assembly plants, young, urbane, outdoor enthusiast Chattanoogans, and hotspots of professional development and gentle sophistication in small towns all across the state.We just have to accept that all language is symbol--all words are convenient abbreviations for reality. We can live with that. We can also make sure folks get a pleasant surprise when they encounter our reality.Now as for reality California, would most rural Tennesseans enjoy living in the agricultural areas of southern California? Of course we would! D´ya think we´re just a bunch of dumb hicks?!

I've been wrestling with how to keep hop matter out of my plate chiller and fermenting vessels while still keeping the hops roaming freely about the brew kettle. On my last batch, my plan was to whirlpool with the hop cone forming directly on the bottom drain in the center of the kettle...I figured I'd just discard the first pint or two that cam out the drain and then have smooth sailing. Well, as it turns out, there was enough material to clog the half inch drain. I won't go into what a mess that was to clear out or the scalding I got from the hot wort. But I got to thinking; what if I built a false bottom that was solid, elevated it slightly off the bottom, then whirlpooled. The hop cone would form on the false bottom and allow the wort to reach the bottom drain via the gap between the false bottom and the kettle bottom. Anyone tried this method or have any thoughts?
Put the hops in mesh bags. It's really the easiest solution.
Sounds like a reasonable plan. I'm doing small batches so I do have these issues. My own idea would be to put a SS bar and handle through a cheap false bottom, whirlpool then simply lift out the FB with the hops. Whirlpool again and you should be golden. But of course...Bobby is right, bags are the easiest solution but are clearly not what you are looking for.
Zach over at StainlessBrewing.com is now selling stainless hop spiders. I'm having an 8" diameter made with additional depth to reach fully into my kettle. http://www.stainlessbrewing.com/Hop-...Kit_p_123.html
That combined with the Brewers Hardware trub filter looks promising.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm electric and do both 5 and 10 gallon batches which makes the hop spider troublesome. With a 5 gal batch, there's not alot of depth above the element for the hop spider to live in. I think I'll give the solid false bottom a try on my next brew day using the cut-off bottom of a keg. I think the concave-ness will help contain the hop matter. If that's a failure, I'll probably go back to the mesh bags.
I just built a hop stopper by taking two pieces of 12" SS screen and fold the edges over a coupe times. Put a copper pipe through it and bend the edge down so it sucks up everything. Then slide it into a copper sleeve that has 1/2" threads on one side. I never get hops in my plate chiller.
Everytime i blow it out with hose water pressure no hops cme out. Makes cleaning easy. Ive never whirlpooledIt cost me like 10 bucks too... you can just use two fry splatter screens from target. Go google hop stopper
+1 to Bobby. He is wise.
Any hardware store... 5 gallon paint strainer bag... works like a chahm. Been using them for years.
My boil kettle is 45 gallons and I use these bags without issue for a couple of POUNDS of hops. i get good utilization and also whirlpool for a while post chill. I simply clamp one edge to the side of the kettle with a cheap spring clamp and it's done. The bags take a quick rinse with hot water after the brew session and they're ready for next time.
I do this in my electric boil kettle with a false bottom from Jaybird.http://www.flickr.com/photos/3327563...7630019444862/
I don't have up-to-date pictures, but, when using pellet hops, I place a 12" x 12" square of fine SS mesh screen (40 x 40 mesh from Grainger) on top of the false bottom. I ran a 5 gallon batch a few weeks ago with 4 oz of pellet hops in the kettle. After whirlpooling for 15 mins, I'd say 80-90% of the hops were captured on the screen, along with a good amount of hot break sludge. I had zero issues with the pump clogging. If I were to use a piece of mesh screen closer to the same size as the false bottom, it would work better, since it only covers 85% of the area (the screen's diagonal length is equal to the diameter of the false bottom, so it's the square-in-the-circle geometry problem). Having brewed 6 batches with the false bottom, I'd say it works a little bit better when you add at least some leaf hops, as the pellet hops and hot break tend to cling to the leaf hops.
The only issue I've seen with this approach is that it tends to under-boil the wort in the deadspace below the false bottom. If you can live with a little more chill haze, this is no big deal. If not, then you need either need to pump continuously while boiling or else figure out a way to attach a heater to the bottom surface of the kettle.
I used to sell a whirlpool hop stopper. They worked great but were a massive PITA to build. It was a stainless bowl with a drain port and a ramp/fin so the whirlpool would form correctly. I found that just the elevated bowl didn't work on its own because when you drain, the cone would move from the bowl and then clog the drain.. I added all the ports and fins and then went as far as adding a stainless braid under the bowl behind a stainless perf stand. The design worked killer but like I said just a massive time consumer to build.
If you need help with the design PM me and I will share my experience with you for your design.

- LanghorneLadyDined on 11/24/2014We had an excellent lunch of Roasted Cauliflower Soup (garnished with croutons & diced beets) & fantastic wild mushroom pizza, finished with their signature dessert dish: Salted Caramel Budina" which had a crushed oreo bottom. It showed us the kitchen cares. And, an unusually warm November day let us sit at a sidewalk table. Only complaint was the unusually small glass of a good, crisp cider; what's with that?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GregorsDined on 11/23/2014Our go to place when in the city for a concert or plan on the Avenue of the Arts. Food is wonderful and always hard to pick what to get because everything is so good. The Uovo pizza is always a pick, so good. Great bar slection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quite goodLarInPhillyDined on 11/23/2014The food was quite good. The server was very personable but, although I asked that our items come out one at a time three of four came to the table one on top of the other. It is a very busy restaurant. Quite crowded. People at the next table are in your conversation if for no other reason than they have to talk loud enough to hear each other and therefore you hear them too. Wine was good. Cocktails were good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Meal EverLindseySDined on 11/21/2014Our meal at Barbuzzo was definitely in our top 5 best meals ever. From our cocktails to the butternut arranccini to the salted caramel budino, everything was perfection. I wish we lived in Philly so we could eat here more often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, wine happy atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/21/2014The combination of Italian style and careful ingredient choice makes the food superb. The casual, warm, atmosphere perfect for dinner with friends or business partners. Ate there Friday and Saturday night and would have been happy to return on SundaySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incompetent service with mediocre foodBobster212Dined on 11/20/2014The service was incompetent and almost odd. We had to wait a long time to order, the waitress did not seem to understand that we expected bread, and the food was simply mediocre. In addition the noise level was deafening.
- Celebrated the Beaujolais NouveauJustMeDined on 11/20/2014Changed plans with a friend after getting an email about the neighborhood celebration of the arrival of the new Beaujolais. We were not disappointed: the wine was lovely and the charcuterie plate they prepare to match with the wine was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still good, but something was missingTDubbsDined on 11/18/2014Let me start by saying I have been to Barbuzzo a number of times, I do know what to expect as far as how busy it gets there as weak as how tight the seating is. This night something was just off. It was a Tuesday night, it was freezing, you wouldn't think it would have been mobbed, but it was. We had maybe a 10 minute wait for our reservation which is no big deal, the host at the front was friendly and helpful. However, due to the tiny space and packed bar, we were shuffled back and forth for 10 solid minutes. It does get old. Our waitress couldn't have been more miserable and less helpful. It felt like she was doing us a favor by taking our order and bringing our food. You are in a service profession, smile. We are not difficult customers. The food was good, but it wasn't up to par with previous visits. It was pretty much put together and dropped on our table. The service staff couldn't take our plates away quick enough, as if we were being rushed to finish. By the time our actual meal was ready that night, but me and my wife couldn't wait to eat so we could leave. Sadly this was where we chose to spend our anniversary night this year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Exceptional!!!HungryinHorshamVIPDined on 11/17/2014Still my go to place for impressing out of town guests, their food, presentation and preparation will WOW your friends and out of town guests. Barbuzzo still exemplifies why Philly is one of the greatest restaurant towns in the US, but gets no cred.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousJennyDined on 11/15/2014Best food we have eaten in years. European portions. Fresh and delicious ingredients. Charming service. We are going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing as always.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/14/2014One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Don't miss the ricotta appetizer, the ouvo pizza, and budinos for dessert....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/11/2014Food was good but habitually under seasoned probably due to the cook's generally disengaged demeanor and disinterest. The arancini was cold in the center and lacked any notes of squash or pumpkin. Server seemed a bit arrogant and our service, while not rushed, seemed to inconvenience him because we didn't place our entire order at one time. We were disappointed being that we have dined at all of chef's other restaurants and been absolutely thrilled with our experiences.
- 'Shared' ExperienceEarly517Dined on 11/10/2014Tappas Plates are Great to Share. Each dish is so tasty, it would be a shame NOT to Share!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pizza!YD50Dined on 11/8/2014This was our first time to visit Philadelphia and we were staying about 5 minutes from Barbuzzo's. It was the perfect place to take our son and his wife, who were also visiting, to lunch. The pizza was tasty and filling, and we could easily share other items on the menu. Some sausages and the mozzarella cheese were homemade and the vegetables were seasonal and very fresh. The tables are small and seating is cozy but we were fine with this. We were in the city for only two days and were lucky to experience this little gem of a restaurant.Special Features:

- Very disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014"Small plates" here means tiny plates. Food was not brought out together - we had no intention of sharing - and no bread service was available. What?

The food was excellent, and I love that you can get small plates to try different things. My group had the tortelli, gnocchi, short ribs, brussel sprouts, and spaghetti. We also had a few desserts, but I didn't get dessert so I can't recall exactly what they were. We had a lot of pasta because there was a vegetarian in the group. The gnocchi might have been my favorite, but the short ribs were delicious. I love short ribs and theirs was trimmed perfectly so you don't have to cut half of it away because it's too fatty. I would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone.Special Features:

The dishes were on the small side, but with an appetizer and a desert they were perfect. I really enjoyed the pumpkin-themed tiramisu. My friend had the pudding with caramel and sea salt and said it was the best desert she ever had. My only complaint would be the noise level and the fact that our table was kind of squeezed into the entrance, making it a bit difficult to both hear and navigate one's way around.Special Features:

I found him at times to be rude and we had one of those feelings that we were always bothering him by our requests. Maybe he was just in a bad mood not sure. The food was great we got two pizzas both of them were excellent, the margherita was perhaps one of the best I had ever eaten. Too bad the evening was spoiled by a seemingly annoyed waiter.Special Features:

LEE COUNTY, Fla. - On August 16, 2010 Frances Rochford was sentenced on one felony and two misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. Rochford received one year in jail, one year of house arrest, one year probation, and more than three thousand dollars in fines. In addition she must submit to DNA collection and following her incarceration must undergo random drug testing and mandatory psychiatric and anger management counseling. Once released from jail, she cannot be in the care, custody, or control and any animals or take part in any activities related to animals while on probation.
The charges are related to an incident which took place February 24, 2010. Animal Control Officers arrived at a mobile home on McDaniel Drive in North Fort Myers where they found three canines belonging to Frances Rochford. One deceased three-month old puppy was under the mobile home surrounded by garbage and debris. Necropsy results indicated the puppy was emaciated and suffered from a severe parasite infestation and anemia. Two other canines were chained to metal stakes without shelter or food. The only water available was contaminated by mosquito larvae. One of the dogs had a 10 inch infected laceration around its neck.
Lee County Domestic Animal Services requests anyone with information regarding animal cruelty, abuse or neglect to call (239) 533-7387.

Plant Rhubarb
I am on a mission to encourage rhubarb, which I find an astonishing number of people have never tasted. You start a bed by digging a big hole, filling it with good mature, and planting rhubarb roots. Thereafter, you will have a supply of rhubarb every spring for fifty years and your bed will keep getting bigger. Don't eat the leaves; they are poisonous. The stems look like pink celery. Cut them into chunks, add a little water and sugar, and stew quietly for 10-15 minutes then use as you would applesauce. The color will be beautiful. Variously you can make pies with rhubarb, mix it with strawberries, or make all kinds of desserts. It's not a fruit but tastes like one. A rhubarb bed gives you something to depend on in life. BTW rhubarb right now in Chicago costs $7.99 lb: grow your own and beat the luxury market rap.
re: paulabear
www.rhubarbinfo.com lists mail-order/online sources for rhizomes, seed, and plants.
Also, see www.savor-the-rhubarb.com.
re: paulabear
I bought mine at Home Depot last year (the one at Gerrard & Pape) - I heard it takes 3 years for it be ready to eat... is that true?
re: Apple
Yes - three years for the plant to mature enough to eat. Planrt in plenty of compost enriched soil. Top dress the plant in the Spring after the last frost. Pull, do not cut, the stalks from the bottom. And - this is very important. DO NOT EAT THE LEAVES - THEY'RE POISONOUS. But my strong advise is don't plant just 1 - plant 3 or more. They last decades in the garden and get bushier each year. I've had 4 rhubarb plants in my garden for 10 years now!! They are just emerging now.
Yea rhubarb! I endorse everyone having rhubarb -- carefree, lasts forever, and it's about the first fruit (think: strawberry rhubarb pie, or rhubarb compote for meat)
I had a huge plant where I used to live, and forgot about rhubarb, and then thought I should find someone to divide their plant for me, but I found plants at Home Depot yesterday so splurged for 6 bucks and will plant. So, rhubarb for me next year!
Only one of our five plants has survived to year four. I don't know what the heck happened, because I was careful not to harvest the first year, then to be judicious the second. At any rate, that one plant is thriving, and very well may produce enough for our family of two. But I am curious, those of you with experience growing rhubarb, do you have any ideas why four of the five plants didn't come up? To be clear, last year we had two left, the year before three, so this was a gradual process. I'm wondering if I don't have them in a good spot. We live on a hillside with southwestern exposure, and the garden is rocky, but we composted it quite well several years ago before we started, and have top dressed since. We do have deer and rabbits, but they seem not to bother the rhubarb.
re: josey124
rhubarb does best in full sun and slightly acid soil. it should be carefree once established...stop harvesting it after early summer to give plant a chance to stock up for the winter...I planted three roots a couple weeks ago and I am thrilled to see them sprouting. I really hope they do well! I am jealous of my sister's access to rhubarb at her house!
Rhubarb is one plant that does better in northern latitudes. amyzan, maybe your climate is too mild?
re: kenito799
Our winter lowest low is usually in the negative teens. It has been warmer and drier than average this past winter, but that's not normal for eastern KS. We are zone 6. Shouldn't that be cold enough for it to grow well?
re: amyzan
yes KS is the perfect climate. don't know what the problem is...groundhogs?
re: kenito799
Just bought a rhubarb root in a bag and excited to plant it soon here in Boston. But can I really not harvest any for 3 years??? How much full sun does it need?
re: Lucymax
Full sun is better, but they will tolerate some shade during the day. You don't get a FULL harvest until three years, but you can trim judiciously the first and second years, certainly. The plants are slow to establish, from what I gather, but once established will produce and produce for ten years or so. Last year, I had over five pounds from one plant.
re: kenito799
kenito, I do have moles, hmmmm....
Couldn't resist chiming in on Rhubarb! Totally underrepresented on fine-dining menus and at the family dinner table in my opinion!
Found this article in the NYT that gives a good overview of how to plant it and what to do with it, too: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/07/sty... for anyone interested in giving it a go.
I see the article says not to plant Rhubarb started from seed since it doesn't produce decent stalks but rather beg a nice start from a friend. But says to be sure it's rhubarb that will produce red/pink pies. And not the stuff that makes greenish pies. I believe the greenish stuff is the 'Victoria' strain that I often see advertised. 'MacDonald' is the preferred strain of many cooks/gardeners.
I also noted that moles do like rhubarb, so maybe that does account for your disappearing plants. If you sprinkle castor bean powder around that may deter them, although it can be toxic for other animals, I suppose.
Mine is almost ready to pick and I will be making a brioche crust with rhubarb filling this weekend. And NO strawberries with it, please! (-:
You know it's springtime when the talk turns to Rhubarb! I love your thread!
re: dumas
Thanks dumas for this article. I am a big Anne Raver fan. However, it was disheartening that most likely I purchased the dreaded green Victoria. So I just ordered a Valentine rhubarb plant from Miller's Nursery.
If I'm going to have it for a decade or more, I want a delicious variety!
re: NYchowcook
If I'm not mistaken, somewhere on one of the 2 rbubarb links I posted upthread, Victoria was praised. Note that the color of rhubarb doesn't indicate ripeness. Different varieties mature with different colors.
re: greygarious
I have heard good things about the flavor of Victoria, so it is really an aesthetic matter if you want red rhubarb. Some red varieties may not even taste as good.
re: kenito799
To complicate things further, on a plant show yesterday they said that red rhubarb starts out red, then turns green as it matures. I don't know if that holds true for all red varieties. I do know that the popularity of Strawberry Rhubarb Pie is rooted ina misunderstanding. "Strawberry" in this case referred to a variety of rhubarb, not the berry, which is often not in season at the same time as rhubarb. Bakers who didn't know this combined the two fruits and voila, the most common rhubarb preparation was born.
re: dumas
I just wanted to report that I made our rhubarb pie with the Victoria in our garden and it was indeed quite greenish and not especially beautiful to look at (ugly, really) but I did buy some pink rhubarb and it made up quite nicely in another pie (to compare). I think I have to order a couple of the Valentine or MacDonald plants, although I googled and did not see that anything but Victora plants were readily available on the market.
re: dumas
Miller Nursery out of upstate NY sells Valentine Rhubarb -- I ordered and received bare root, along w/ 2 roses and 1 shrub.
after I planted the roses and shrub, I went in the house and checked my order sheet and said: oops! That hunk I threw in the compost bin I thought was packing material was actually my rhubarb root!
I just have to dig up a spot to plant it for its permanent home.
Do not plant it where you want to grow anything else or want it to be gone one day. Also, it will grown in any soil and will not die if you forget it.
I have rhubarb that I got from my ex-mother-in-law 30 years ago, neglected it for at least a decade...last year, we dug it up, and replanted it in new holes with manure and mushroom compost, and I have big, BEAUTIFUL stalks as I type.
It makes a great relish, and I'm hoping to try making some rhubarb soda next year!
I know some of the bigger seed companies offer all kinds and colors, check online.
re: Kizzle
This is good news. I have a rhubarb root that I started in a planter box last year. I thought maybe it was a goner - but we will have to pull it out the shed and see if she'll take!
Ok. You've all convinced me to plant rhubarb this year. Is it too late or shall I wait for next year? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where it's still cold and rainy right now.
I've only ever had rhubarb raw with a sprinkling of salt because that's how my boyfriend likes it. Blech! After that my curiosity about its other preparations waned even though it wasn't fair for me to judge rhubarb based on that one experience. .
re: PaperMoon
I live in a wildly different geogrpahic climate but I suspect it may not be too late...
My husband pulled our rhubarb plant from our shed this morning! And low and behold - it's growing! Also saw some rhubarb crowns?(roots?) at home depot last night available for sale. Also - I was at the farmer's market this morning and there was not one stalk of rhubarb to be found yet.
I think you do need to keep in mind that you really can't start to harvest rhubarb for about 3 yrs (we trimmed off 2 or 3 stalks off ours last year which was our first year and it was a measly contribution to the rhubarb strawberry crisp.)
My best friend's mom grew it when I was a kid so I was exposed to it a lot. I remember she warned me the first time I tried it that it would make my teeth feel fuzzy - I think her exact words were, "It'll grow hair on your teeth."
I liked it back then but haven't had it much as an adult. Now you've got me thinking I should put in a little patch.
I have to say that being from Manitoba I find this thread cute! I don't know many people that DON'T have rhubarb around here. It's the most tenacious thing in my garden! I cut judiciously off it all summer to make desserts with....it's delicious and along with my strawberry plants makes for a great example of practically free!! :) Then in the fall I cut it all down, chop it up, pop it in some foodsaver bags and freeze it. Then I've got it all winter long to bake with. There's nothing tastier or faster than a rhubarb crisp or pie with some ice cream.
In my experience over three houses rhubarb will grow pretty much anywhere you pop it into the ground....
re: perpigillium
yes, us cute Americans :)
In the northeast US, rhubarb sends up shoots in the summer, and then the stalks are no longer good to eat, I'm told. Ah the virtues of zone 3!? (as I also envy the fruit/nut home growers in California . . .)

Law (U. of Stirling, Scotland) and Lovejoy (York U.) offer a new, annotated edition of the 66-page pamphlet published by George E. Pomeroy and Company, Detroit, in 1854. It differs from other ex-slave narratives of the period because Baquaqua was residing in Canada when it appeared, because he had been a slave in Brazil rather than the US, and because he was not born into slavery but was captured in Africa. Indeed, well over half of the work describes his life in what is now Benin. The commentary expands the book by several hundred pages. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
