He currently serves as Chairperson of the Board of Governors of the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra.[6]
Early life and education[edit]
Apathukatha Sivathanu Pillai was born in Nagercoil which was part of the erstwhile princely state of Travancore on 15 July 1947. He has completed his schooling at D.V.D. Higher Secondary School, Nagercoil. He earned his Bachelor of Electrical Engineering from University of Madras in 1969. He then completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School (Class of 1991). He then earned PhD in Technology Management from University of Pune in 1996 and D.Sc from Tumkur University.[7]
Dr. Pillai's four decades of experience in ISRO and DRDO under the great visionary leaders Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, Prof. Satish Dhawan and Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam made him a Technology Leader in the field of launch vehicles and guided missiles. Dr. Pillai joined DRDO in 1986 and was the Programme Director of IGMDP under the leadership of Dr. Kalam. His contributions to the successful development of SLV III as a core team member and evolution of PSLV configuration for ISRO have been remarkable. He was due to retire on August 2007, but has been given third post retirement extension by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.[8][9][10]
Brahmos Aerospace[edit]
Dr. Pillai is regarded as the Father of BRAHMOS,[11] the joint venture between India and Russia to design, develop, produce and market the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos and he is the Chief Executive and Managing Director of BrahMos Aerospace. In 2007, under his leadership as CEO of Brahmos Aerospace, the company bought Kerala Hitech Industries Limited.

CORAL SPRINGS — Just as LeBron James cited going home as a reason for his free-agency return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Andersen said Saturday among the reasons he re-signed with the Miami Heat was because South Florida felt like home.
"It was definitely the loyalty from the fans and from the team," said the Texas native who signed a two-year, $10.3 million contract with the Heat last month. "That had a big part of it. And it's matter of me ending my career in a place that I'd be happy at and am familiar with."

"Adorable design, easy to personalize (I even changed the wording at the top from "our sweet addition" to "our sweet daughter", which was an added bonus for me since not all photo card sites offer that option) and super fast shipping. The paper is great quality and the printing is beautiful. I've gotten lots of compliments on them :) Highly recommend these!!b"
"Everyone in my family absolutely loved receiving this birth announcement. It is such a sweet design, the paper is obviously high quality and the printing was flawless. My mother-in-law loved it so much, she asked for a few more copies to hand out.....I had to order more :)"
"family and friends were excited to receive the second card of this kind, as they had been sent one for the first baby 2 years ago and all had been really impressed by the professional design, print and paper. for this amazing quality and lasting memory it also is ridiculously little money. not to mention the fun to compose your very own special card. looking forward to having more baby birthdays to announce :)"
"LOVE this announcement. It's adorable, & the printing & paper quality are excellent. Had some issues ordering & customer service was very attentive & helpful. Would definitely recommend tinyprints!"
"We did our son's nursery in a hot-air-balloon theme and these baby announcements were perfect to go along with the theme! The paper quality is very good quality thick stock. The colors and design are beautiful. We dropped in a black and white photo of our son and the card is just gorgeous! Will definitely use TP again in the future."

At :34 the top half of the poor dude was CLEARLY moving - until he bled out a few minutes later, I am sure. THAT makes me a bit woozy, TBH, not the cutting in half part which included that long, bloddy, intestine laden smear mark running about 40 feet from the point of impact. You never know what's gonna make you puke here on LL. Shit, I still love this site after all these years of gore (Ogrish).

Dell fuels up Precision workstations with Xeon E5s
Intel has got its Xeon E5 processors out the door for boxes with one or two sockets and is getting ready to start the "Ivy Bridge" generation of desktop processors, and so it's no surprise Dell is revamping its Precision workstation lineup. The direct vendor is keeping momentum going in this fast-growing segment of the desktop …
Serious question
How hard would it be to Hackintosh one of these?
My Mac Pro is getting a little long in the tooth...
Also noteworthy that Apple haven't announced their new Mac Pros with the Xeon E5s being released, normally when there's a new workstation Xeon they're among the first announced.
Frankly, if you have the money to shell out for a Dell Precision T7600 or a HP z820 then you're way better off investing that money into the current Mac Pro if you really need a Mac. None of these machines are meant for home use anyways, and no sane person would set his business on a Hackintosh.
Additionally, the current Mac Pro using Westmere (XEON 5600 series) processors should still fit all needs, especially within the limits of Mac OS.
Re: Hackintosh
Or get a 3XS system from Scan. I've a couple of i7 systems from them, their Xeon builds are a fraction of the cost of Dell & Apple.
Extras are discounted from their retail prices too (instead of bloated) - i.e. 64GB EEC RAM in a 3XS E5 build is £454+VAT, whereas Apple will happily make you pay £2840+VAT.
That said, I've also got a 2006 Mac Pro here that runs as smoothly as the day I bought it. Got to hand it to Apple, they may charge over the odds but they sure as hell know how to build solid workstations.
Re: Hackintosh
"Or get a 3XS system from Scan. I've a couple of i7 systems from them, their Xeon builds are a fraction of the cost of Dell & Apple."
Yeah, great, a generic standard PC from with zero ISV certification and no professional support (which is what makes a PC a Workstation). And if later on something dies, good luck getting the exact same component as a replacement.
There is a reason why white box PCs from assemblers like Scan are cheaper. Most of these systems wouldn't even pass basic EMC tests.
"Apple, they may charge over the odds but they sure as hell know how to build solid workstations."
So do Dell and HP (still have a 2006 Dell Precision 690's).
Re: Hackintosh
Well, yeah granted, and I'd probably feel differently if I'd had any problems (haven't so far, touch wood). Probably Dell are a better bet in that outlook, at least they handle enterprise at the enterprise level (whereas Apple has...the genius bar?)
Re: Hackintosh
"Apple, they may charge over the odds but they sure as hell know how to build solid workstations."
Ignoring the fact I've had 3 power supplies die on the Mac Pro (though all 3 replaced outside warranty which makes me think it's a known problem) and the WiFi has been flaky as hell (replaced with '500MB' powerline networking which has worked far more reliably and quickly) it has been reliable.
I disagree about 'professional support' making a PC a workstation though - it's entirely your opinion and goes against the idea of Apple offering workstations, professional support requires on-site which Apple don't do in Australia. In mine it's level of power and expandability that raises it above a regular PC, that's all.

Organics Delivered?
Has anyone got any experience with this service? They deliver a weekly/bi-weekly box of organic fruit and veggies. I got a flyer through my door and its looks interesting.
We got our first box delivered last week and it was great. It seemed like a good value for the price and wide variety of food. (and no turnips, beets, parsnips!)
We've been doing this sort of thing for well over a decade. First, with LETS, then Toronto Organics, WOW Boxes, and Wannigan. Lately, we've swung over to Front Door Organics who have been in the business a long time. Go to the FDO website to check out their massive categories and computerized and customized ordering.
It might be best to look around at a variety of these services, taking the trial offer, and see what's a good fit. For example, FDO delivers from Noon to 10PM.
Do most of these services stock boxes based on seasonal local produce? The ones I've found seem to be mostly the same stuff (apples, cabbage, lettuce, citrus) throughout all the seasons, with only one or two seasonal items.
I'm on a two-box trial with Organics Delivered. Had my first one last week and it was great. I have been with Green Earth Organics until now. The cauliflower I got with OD was twice the size of the one I got with GEO and was amazing in the taste dept. So far, I think I'm switching for good!

Help! Cucumber-explosion!!
- k
- kachen Jun 15, 2005 07:41 PM
We have been recently swamped with a cuke surplus and don't know how best to use them. If you have any suggestions for food, drink or otherwise it would thrill me! I can't let all this great produce go to waste..
thanks a trillion
Cucumber-yogurt soup, cucumber gaspacho, cucumber salads
You can always pickle the surplus and have home-made half-sour pickles, or full-sour pickles. That is what they used to do in the old days when they had too many cucumbers.
One cucumber salad i enjoy is a equal mixture of julienned cucumber and jicama in a nice vinegrette made with lime juice instead of vinegar.
Another is the standard drained thin cucumber slices mixed with a little sourcream and finely minced onion. Salt to taste and finely minced fresh parsley.
Tomato, cucumber, feta cheese and kalmata olives in a greek vinegrette. Roasted red peppers are a nice addition.
re: MKatrinaToo
Put the slices over your eyes and puree the rest with some yogurt for a refreshing face mask.
I just checked out Jack Bishop's "Vegetables Every Day" from the library, and noticed that he had a cooked cuke recipe! Here it is, paraphrased:
Weight and drain sliced cukes (peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, cut 1/4 inch on diagonal) for 1 hour. Rinse and pat dry.
Heat 2 tbsps oil over medium high heat in skillet. Add 3 medium shallots, minced, and saute 'til golden. Add cuke slices and 2 tbsps lemon juice; cook 'til crisp-tender. Stir in 2 tbsps minced fresh mint and ground black pepper; serve immediately.
He also suggests a salsa made from 2 medium cukes, 2 cups diced watermelon, red onion, cilantro, rice vinegar, sugar, hot red pepper flakes, and salt. He suggests serving with grilled seafood.
My friend always feeds me this when I visit her:
Nice thin pita (cut into halves for sandwiches or squares or triangles for snacks)
Cucumber slices
Queso blanco slices - slightly melted and browned in a frying pan
Put cuke slices and cheese in pita and sprinke with lemon.
Very tasty!
Cucumber salad: peel, seed and cut into chunks. Mix with a good yogurt (whole milk Greek or Turkish is best), red onion, fresh dill, salt and pepper. Chill and serve.
Cucumber raita is good with grilled chicken or fish.
1 tsp. Ground cumin
1 cucumber
2 tsp. onion - finely chopped
3 cups Plain yogurt (can substitute low fat)
1 tsp. Salt
1 tomato - seeded & chopped
Peel cucumber and cut in half lenghtwise. Scoop out seeds with a teaspoon. Cut in half lenghtwise again, and slice each strip into 1/2" pieces. Combine cucumber, onion and salt and let stand at room temperature about 5 minutes, then squeeze cucumber pieces gently to remove excess liquid. Add tomato to cucumer and toss. Combine yogurt and cumin and add to cucumber mixture. Mix well and refrigerate for 4-6 hours prior to serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
when i miss a cuke and it overripens on the vine, i give it to my dog. she really enjoys the cool and crunchy cuke as a hot day treat.
Make a sort of quick pickle by sprinkling sliced, seeded cucumbers heavily with salt and sugar. Let sit a while for some of the liquid to drain off. You can add some rice vinegar at this point for tang if you like, but it isn't necessary. My family loves this in the summer time in just about anything. We put it in sandwiches, in salads (both light vinaigrette based, or heavier mayo based), or just as something to nibble on. Actually, one sandwich we really like (this sounds really trashy, but hey, it tastes good) is sliced chinese sausages, a generous helping of these cucumbers, and some sweetened japanese mayo on a steamed plain chinese bun (man-to).
I'll throw in another cooked cuke recipe. It's really easy: peel the cucumbers, cut off the ends, slice lengthwise and scoop out the seeds, then slice into sections. The sections can be 1/4 to one inch thick, depending on your preference.
Then, just cook in a plain old chicken stock or simple chicken soup(homemade, preferably). A few onion or green onion slices won't hurt, but aren't really necessary. Just use plenty of cucumbers. Simmer until the cucumbers are just shy of tender. you definitely don't want them soggy, but level of tenderness is personal preference.
I remember my mom making this when I was a kid, and it was tough for her to convince me it was actually cucumbers. It tasted so different to me that I thought she'd found a new melon. Cooked, cucumber takes on more of the flavors of melons we usually eat cooked: wintermelon, for one. It really loses its grassiness.
This is a great way to get rid of cucumbers that have just started to lose their crunch.
re: nooodles
Good point about how cooking cucumbers makes them taste totally different. My mother used to make cucumbers stuffed with ground meat mixture, and simmered in soup or steamed. Also, you can stir fry cucumbers in ginger, garlic, and chili paste. They really taste completely different from raw cucumbers. Good for when you get sick of them fresh.
re: Jujubee
Mmm, I do the same with bittermelon (the only way I'll eat it). I bet it's good with cucumbers too. Two parts gound pork mixed with one part fish paste (Asian market, seafood counter), optional chopped cilantro, salt, and chopped shrimp.
Stuff into hollow rings of melons, and cook in soup or steam. Delicious, unique, but fairly easy.
Leftover mix can be dropped into boiling soup by the spoonfuls to make meat/seafood balls.
Here is a variation I didn't see below. I just made this cucumber salad yesterday that was delicious. I diced the cucumbers and made a vinaigrette with 1 part rice vinegar and 2 parts sesame oil (approx) with salt to taste. I mixed this in to the cucumbers and also added toasted sesame seeds. We threw in a few diced red peppers for colour. Simple and refreshing.
Peel and thinly slice half a cucumber and place the slices in a water pitcher. Fill it with water and let sit overnight in the fridge. It's really refreshing on a hot summer day.

Tour of Paris Must-eats (work in progress)
For an upcoming Paris visit (my first real visit for food and drink), I am working on a list of must-east around town. We plan to walk around town and eat and drink. To maximize sampling, we are focusing on smaller items that eat's easy to pop in somewhere for: cheese, charcuterie, chocolate, baked goods, etc. Also, for evenings, we are thinking of wine bars with good food, again so we can hit more than one in a night. I've been researching this site and others. And, while the list remains incomplete, it is far enough along so begin soliciting input. Thanks in advance for your help. What is missing? What needs to go? Also, if I were to add one affordable sit-down restaurant, what should it be? L'Ami Jean?

We tried some of the "Du Pains et des Idées" stuff.
Croissant and Chocolatines : very good.
Small savory buns : excellent (with lardons, goat cheese, ...)
Small sweet roulades : excellent (nougat pistachio, ... )
You do realise lots of these are shops? Bakeries in Paris rarely have space to eat in, there are exceptions but they are few and far between. So to enjoy you list you need a place to take your purchase to to enjoy.
Interesting you have Verjus with "great" food but Rubis with simply "good" - Verjus is OK if you want US food in a Paris but Rubis is the real deal.
Rue Petite Champs roughly from Juvenilles/Verjus through the Frenchie is a great street for wine bars including Willi's plus lots of newer options - don't miss investigating the passages.
You can move Gérard Mulot from the 3rd to the 6th.
"Atlas Hamadi" means nothing. One is L'Atlas and the other one is Chez Hamadi and they're different restaurants. One in the 6th, the other one in the 5th.
By "Laurent — cheese" you probably mean Laurent Dubois.
This all looks like a selection of choices to me, not really an inventory of "what's best". So there's a little arbitrary feeling to it.
re: Ptipois
Not sure what you mean by "selection of choices" vs. "inventory of what's best". Perhaps the problem is that it's a work in progress and not a very good one! It's a synthesis of the research I've done thus far with the aim of doing the best job as possible as finding the best tastes during our trip to Paris.
At the end of our visit, I hope to create report back with a list of everything we tasted. I want that list to include as many of Paris' best tastes as possible, without having to go to many (or any) sit-down restaurants. If you have any additional guidance, it is very much encouraged. Thanks.
re: John Galt
It is not bad at all as works in progress go...
But it is a perfect illustration of the recently-addressed fact that chowhounders seem to gravitate around a limited number of places and there's far more to explore than meets the reader's eye.
A "complete" list following those criteria would cover several pages, actually they make guidebooks with that sort of information.
re: Ptipois
Doing as much research as I can, and certainly don't want to gravitate around a limited number of places if better food is elsewhere. I'll be there three nights. Lots of food to fit into a short time. All ears.
re: John Galt
Due respect, that's the wrong approach. There will almost always be better food somewhere, and trying to organize your time around a purchase of the best places will prevent you from enjoying much, not to mention your stomach might not be up to the task. At least, that's what I observe with many visitors and clients.
My advice: pick some places that tickled your fancy (the ones you remember when you don't look at your notes), have the kind of list you have per neighborhood, and just play it by ear.
I've been living here all my life looking for the best food, and I still don't most of the places people talk about.
re: Ptipois
There is a Gérard Mulot on rue du Pas de la Mule -- but it's in the 4th, right. Also one on Rue de la Glacière in the 13th.
In the 5me, you're missing Oteiza on Blvd St. Michel for amazing Basque charcuterie. And i'm virtually certain the "Laurent" you mentioned for cheese is Laurent Dubois in the Place Maubert. The 3-year-old Cmote is divine! Curious are you planning a meal at Les Papilles? It's a restaurant, you know.
In the 6th, I think the Poilane shop you really want is on the rue Cherche Midi. Make sure you get the right Poilane! (there are 2 brothers) and on your way to THAT Poilane, you really ought to stop into Maison du Chocolat and sample some truffles!
Impossible to make such a list for this city, we are back from another visit, and each time you may have new surprises, or old timers that may dissappoint on a certain day .
I think mapping your areas of interest is most important - both geographical and food wise.
I think you should concentrate on a partial list cause no way to cover those crazy lists of summeries.
My personal "must visit" list currently for fancy patisserie will include Genin, Des Reves (we had truly amazing saint honore, Almonds and chocolates cakes there last week), Carl Marletti and Pierre Herme. But it is also dependent on which creations where..
All dependent i think on the area, there is much to explore all around the city and don't hesitate to enter "unknown" places that seem interesting, to try something and maybe like the place.. If by any chance your base is the 10 arr area, don't hesitate to try Aux Peches Normands, lovely place. Des Idees was a bit "off" for us this time, but it is a very nice place also.
Assuming that you not in Paris doing research on food but to enjoying the city, you might consider a difference approach. Paris is loaded with great food, bread, pastries, etc, and one need not to run to all corners to find them. Since you only have 3 days, instead of combing all 18 arrondissment to find what are reputed to be the 'best', just concentrate on the center of Paris and choose one walkable area that has a good concentration of food related shops for each day. Combine that with sightseeing and you'll discover many wonderful surprises. Some suggestions:
1. Around Montorgueil/rue de Bretagne/Turenne/the Marais. Start with oldest pastry shop, Stohrer, nearby on r. Tiquetonne is interesting baking shop, G Detou, Pain de Sucre on Rambuteau; rue de Bretagne is a bustling street full of shops including Marche des Enfants Rouges; then on to Jacques Genin, 134RTD, Breizh Cafe, falafel and Jewish pastries on r. des Rosiers.
2. Rue des Martyrs where there are more patisseries/boulangeries/chocolatiers than one can count; just to start are Delmontel, Landemaine, Rose Bakery, Au Levain des Martyrs, Henri LeRoux, Sebastian Guadard, Rousseau et Seurre (one of the oldest); many food shops and traiteurs including, Le Grand Jeau, Les Papilles, EG Traiteur. It is a wonderful few blocks to explore. If that is not enough, walk south and stroll through the Passages.
3. Maubert/Monge: start with ice cream at Raimo, then Laurent Dubois in front of the Maubert Market. Next to Laurent Dubois is Patisserie Carton. Along Monge is the flagship store of Eric Kayser where the baguettes, croissants and financiers (just about everything else) are better than his outposts; Terra de Bellota on Cardinal Limoine, Gregory Renard on r. Dauberton, Carl Marletti (a definite for designer pastries) on rue Censier. Boulangerie Monge and Gregoire on the Place Monge then late afternoon tea at the Mosque. There are daily markets on Place Maubert and Place Monge.
4. Between the 6e/7e: all the famous boulangeries/patisseries and chocolatiers on rue de Seine plus da Rosa, Grom; on r Jacob just off r de Seine is LeBlanc for oil, then P. Herme on Bonapart; over to Cherche Midi for the original Poilane, Fromagerie Quatrehomme on r. de Sevres, La Grande Epicerie at Bon Marche, on to Barthelemy on r. de Grenelle for more cheese. To finish, stroll down to Gosselin on Blvd St. Germain.
For me, getting a very fresh croissant and baguette from a good boulangerie is more important than eating one that has sat a couple hours from a reputed "best". Kayser on r Monge is 5 minutes from my apartment and if I drop by at 7:30am, it is guaranteed to be terrific because it is just out of the oven and cooled a few minutes. By 9am, it is bit dry and the butter has congealed. For a 3 day visit, I couldn't metro to the 12e just to check out the madeleine at Ble Sucre or the 15e for croissant at Des Gateaux et du Pain or the 10e at Du Pain et des Idees, especially if the goods have been sitting for couple of hours. They are located in perfectly fine neighborhoods but not much of interest nearby.
re: PBSF
These are all excellent suggestions. I was leaning towards omitting some neighborhoods for reasons similar to those raised here. And, this confirms that I will do so. Also, the itineraries you've proposed PBSF look great. Finally, I'll make a point of being at a good boulangerie like Kayser early for a croissant.
re: John Galt
If you like oysters, don't miss Huitrerie Regis in the 6th. And you have the Poilane bakery on your list. Their loaves are huge, so they sell half- and quarter-loaves, but even a quarter-loaf is much too much to polish off in a picnic lunch.
re: souphie
Thanks for the update on rue des Martyrs.
I agree with PBSF. You'll do better to check out one area than to run all over. And it's not a good idea to make a check list of must-do's or must-eat's. You'll never be able to cover all of them, so you're just setting yourself up to be disappointed at what you didn't achieve, rather than pleased at what you did experience. When I visit Paris, I, too, have a list of places where I would like to eat. But it is a list of possibilities, not musts.
FWIW, DH thought that the croissants at Gosselin on Blvd St. Germain were infinitely better than Kayser's.
re: mangeur
To me, better still, is the croissant from Herme, although I'm a fan of the Gosselin baguette, especially when I purchase one warm from the oven from their last batch of the day for dinner later that evening.
re: Nancy S.
The Ispahan croissant at Herme is wonderful! With a raspberry center and rose icing.
I've been trying for a list like this one for years. I'm always depressed by the inability to make into a database that would be usable, easy to search, etc.
The best I've come with so far is using Google maps. And I don't sort them by ardt per se, but per neighborhood -- eg Montmartre, Saint-Germain, Montparnasse, Eiffel tower, etc.
Isn't it amazing that, in this day and age, it still takes fifteen minutes of research to find out what's open in your neighborhood?
re: souphie
Following up, I started a few maps. After years of trying to keep and redo complicated maps such as my old map of bakeries, I realized that maps by neighborhood, mixing all kind of interesting addresses were much more useful. In a word, I rediscovered the organizations of..guidebooks.
The idea of the map is, a short introduction by me and, when it exists, all the available data from Google+. So here are a few, it's a work in progress:
1. Saint Germain/Quartier Latin: https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=2...
2. The road to (or from) Montmartre: https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=2...
3. Rue du Bac to Montparnasse https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=2...
4. The glorious seventh: https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=2...
Coming soon to a Google map near you: Deep 15th, Chinatown etc, central Paris (islands, halles et marais) and maybe, some day, far east (meaning right of Bastille).
I still lack practice, but I believe one can download those maps in the Gmaps app, so that the data is available locally for those who come to Paris with an iPhone or an iPad, but do not want the ridiculous roaming prices.
Feedbacks and suggestions extremely welcome at zejulot at gmail.com
re: souphie
re: souphie
Oh....how good are those maps!!!! Thank you Souphie/Julien. Bookmarked for (fingers crossed) this December's trip to Paris. (Although it might need to be January and this is a bit daunting....)
re: souphie
Fantastic maps, love your commentary. "Feels like a Zola novel"= sold. :)
re: souphie
I am really glad I checked back into this thread. We are staying at the end of Boulevard St Germain in Sep so the Saint Germain/Quartier Latin is very helpful. I will try to download it into my iPhone. Also have you considered adding the markets i.e. at Place Monge? Thanks again.
re: AGM_Cape_Cod
You might also check out the following thread regarding the 5e
re: souphie
Yelp-- if you bookmark places you love or are interested in, then while on the go you can look at them and sort them by distance from your current location. It shows if open or closed also.
With a 'run and shoot' objective like this, I am surprise no one actually mentioned 'Fauchon' at Place de la Madeleine??!!!
I do realize to some, this Parisian icon is too touristy or over-rated. However, the incredible list of display and selection always give me a kick each time I paid it a visit!
The Patisserie, Delicatessen, Fine Charcuterie, Cheese, Foie Gras.... sections, all under one roof is always an eye opener. Amazing looking prepared foods! My favorite is to get a few slices of the gorgeous 'Noir De Bigorre' ham from the Charcuterie and munch on them whilst walking across to browse at the Baccarat Crystal shop windows.
re: Charles Yu
Fair enough. Dalloyau and Hédiard also musts.
re: souphie
Of all the fine Patisseries in Paris, somehow I find Dalloyau's products the sweetest, sometimes even overly sweet. Anyone share or agree with my taste experience?!
re: Charles Yu
I do. Their stuff tastes like sugar.
re: Busk
Then what do you guys think about Pierre Herme? Pardon my French, but his are ridiculously sweet.
That said, I agree that deal loyal (thank you, autocorrect!) is on the sweet side. To me, they stay on the list for one reason, which is their big chocolate macaron, which I would describe as "chocolate jam". Love their croque Monsieur too.
re: souphie
For me, Herme is too sweet (although his croissant is one of my two favorites). I prefer Pain de Sucre, Carl Marletti and Des Gateaux de du Pain (as my top three in terms of taste, texture and style).
re: souphie
For macarons, I'm still loyal to your old friend Gregory Renard.
re: mangeur
Absolute best macarons: Georges Larnicol (2 locations).
Light and airy, not overly sweet, 100% almonds, sugar and natural flavorings. Not a gram of butter, the shortening is 100% almond oil (the only 100% vegan macarons in Paris for those who are interested; me, I like them for the taste.)
They are 100% taste, taste, taste. With a slight crunch.
If you will excuse my passionate tone, I think they leave all other macarons lightyears behind.
re: Ptipois
We loved Larnicol's macarons, but my grandson also went nuts for his mini kouign amanns last year. His chocolate scuptures are little works of art. We loved his location in the Marais and returned again and again during our last 2 trips.
re: Ptipois
I am not a macaron fan but a guest bought some from Georges Larnicol, they were a big hit. A big plus is that his Blvd St. Germain shop open into the late hours. I have never seen kouignettes in so many flavors.
re: Ptipois
Really ? Shame i didn't know that before our trip, for sure would have tried them. Maybe next time..
re: souphie
Many years ago, first time at Herme, i said not again, it was overly sweet. Two weeks ago, Herme big surprise, nothing too sweet, very nice flavors, infimate vanilla and Ispahan small cake really nice, not patiserrie des reves standarts, but for sure not overly sweet, at least how i remembered.
Macarons we tried 8 of them, best came the apricot pistachio, very nice, again no extra sweetness that shadows real flavors. Maybe some of the macarons a bit too sweet, but don't remeber which. Laduree on the other hand - too sweet and flat flavors, wasted calories. In general Laduree stuff was bad.
re: souphie
Herme is also too sweet, but taste better than sugar. I much prefer Genin, but his place is getting a little too tedious to frequent.
re: Diane in Bexley
Which is really Hugo et Victor.
re: Ptipois
Hugo dumped Roger for Victor ?
Either you know Paris so well that you don't feel you need to see anything else, or you know it so little that you would propose such an itinerary. If you want to do this, go for it. But I would find it tedious.
I know the above is not helpful, so I will at least suggest making a stop for some Bordier butter (sel craquant) to take back to you hotel room so you can enjoy those baguettes chez vous. A good place to score your butter is from Da Rosa, where there is a market plus a place to eat. Another place is the food court (no, not like in the US) at Galleries Lafayette where you can try many top-flight pastries and other goodies all in one spot. You can eat there. I am partial to the green tea dome at Aoki - perhaps the best single pastry item I've ever had, but it's not to everyone's taste. As long as you're in the 'hood, take in the REAL dome at Galleries Lafayette.
Also, if white peaches are in season, get some. And figs. And liquidy raw milk cheeses. Make sure to ask for liquide. A liquidy St Marcellin is like heaven.
I'm not sure traipsing around for chocolates is the best idea, I mean, how great are they from one place to another? Is Paris really the place for this? Get the pavé at Michel Chaudun because they are addictive and unique. I'm not sure how much other Paris chocolates are going to send you (to each his own). Although Genin is a master of pastry, I think I can find better chocolates in Washington, DC. (closer to you, I believe)
The Mariage Frères tea shop is something to see, and if you are going to the Marais anyway, you might as well take a look, same thing for the rue des rosiers with the felafel vendors. Buy a pain cumin from the nearby bakery and get some caviar d'aubergine from Sacha Finklesztajn's.
Near Montmartre there is Denise Acabo's candy shop with sweets from all over France. It is also something to experience.
For a completely different taste, try the crabe farci and crabe beignets at the créole spot inside Marché des Enfants Rouge. Maybe the oldest market in Paris, eating and shopping here will take you far, far away from life in the US. From here, Genin is a short walk.
re: Steve
Excellent advice all over.
I like the part on chocolates. I'll add fuel to it by pointing out that most chocolates in Paris (including Hermé) are Valrhona-based, so they more or less taste the same. Notable exceptions are Chaudun (N°1 for me), Jean-Paul Hévin, and Pralus who control the product from the bean to the bar.
Of course there are the extraordinary chocolates and beans by Claudio Corallo available at L'Arbre à Café (soon to reopen on rue du Nil), but they're in a different league than any other chocolate and could be defined as a distinct product in their own right.
re: Ptipois
Excellent advice for all of us. It would be encouraging also if the OP could share his experience with us after receiving this wealth of information, although reading his many other inquiries, I get the impression that he has not acquired the habit of reporting back.
re: Parigi
I thought he did if his Chicago and Toronto posts are representative.
John Galt, may I re-use your list during next Christmas?
Thank you for including opening and closing times on your list!
Opening and closing times / days seem to vex me on trips.

Hellraisin' runs in alt-country badass Hank Williams III's family. His granddad, the patron saint of country music, was a serious drinker and drugger who checked out in the backseat of a Caddy on the way to a gig on New Year's Eve 1953, and his daddy, who in his prime combined raucous honky-tonk and southern rock, struggled with drug and alcohol abuse in the '70s and even tried to kill himself in 1974. With that Williams DNA, it's no surprise that Hank III is his own man, fighting with his record label, Curb (his acoustic guitar is emblazoned with a "Fuck Curb" sticker), over his musical direction in contemporary Nashville. Or that he's an outspoken advocate for the kind bud. A former punk rock drummer, Hank III turned to country to capitalize on the family name after getting himself into a paternity jam. He signed with Curb, who also sought to cash in on the kid's bloodlines, but instead of getting another Tim McGraw, Curb got a hardcore honky-tonker whose visage and voice both recall his godlike grandfather and an outspoken kid with a "Fuck Nashville" attitude. Over the course of four albums, including his latest disc, Damn Right, Rebel Proud, III has established himself as one of the finest honky-tonkers of his generation, offering up a "three chords and a cloud of dust" approach to country in the face of the genre's contemporary pop sheen. Just like his granddaddy and his daddy before him, you can't tell III what to do or what to sound like, and that's a good thing for fans of straight-ahead, old-school country music. After his honky-tonk set at the Marquee, stick around for Assjack, Hank III's metal band, where the kid literally lets his hair down.

Jaafari to the British Ambassador: Setup is complete for a national meeting to heal the rift between the blocks
31/03/2012 12:25
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: former prime minister and head of the National Alliance bloc major in the Iraqi parliament, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, at a meeting on Saturday, Britain's ambassador in Baghdad with the preparation of the national meeting was completed in preparation for healing the rift between the political blocs.Meeting is scheduled between the three main political blocs made up of the coalition government headed by Nuri al-Maliki, the fifth day of the month next April under the auspices of President Jalal Talabani, at a time when recently escalated the conflicts between these blocks.
A statement issued by al-Jaafari's office during a meeting with British Ambassador in Iraq, Michael Aaron saying that he had "completed the preparation of a National Meeting to discuss the internal problems of Iraq and to overcome and heal the rift between the political blocs."
The country has a political crisis since December last, against the background of the charges against Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, a senior leader of the coalition in Iraq,
and the decision issued by the judiciary for his arrest for investigation on charges of terrorism and murder, along with a decision of the Prime Minister to withdraw confidence from the Vice President Saleh Mutlaq, leader of the Iraqi List, also, because of comments in which he described al-Maliki last dictator, with the repercussions of the decision both houses of the provinces of Salahuddin and Diyala provinces to transfer into two independent, which led to the whole coalition, the Iraqi province of meetings of the House of Representatives and Minister (12/17/2011) before decide to return once again to the parliament sessions in the first (29/1) and decides to return to cabinet meetings in (2.6).
And exacerbated the crisis with sharp criticism by the President of the Kurdistan region, Massoud Barzani, on the occasion of Eid Nowruz to the Iraqi government and Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki, which he describes the government of "failed", while accusing him of seeking to impose his authority on all aspects of the state and that he does not abide by the partnership.
Barzani said that Iraq "is moving towards the abyss" because of the policies of some parties, noting that al-Maliki is trying to uniqueness of power, warning that things continue in this way will push them to the people to go about making his decision, referring to the right of self-determination and declaration of a Kurdish state.
The leader of the Iraqi bloc, Iyad Allawi, has called for yesterday, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in person to complete the implementation of the Arbil "to avoid procrastination," he said, without saying that the current government "illegitimate."

Our Founder
The story of Amedeo Obici (Ah-may-day-o O-bee-chee) is one born of an Italian immigrant's hard work and ambition. At the time of his death, his company, the Planters Nut and Chocolate Company, had become a known brand worldwide, but its beginning was owed to the hard work and ambition of the young Obici.
Amedeo Voltejo Obici was born in the small town of Oderzo, Italy, near Venice, to Pietro Lodovico Obici and Luigia Carolina Sartor Obici. His father died unexpectedly when he was seven years old, a tragic event that forced his mother to sell the family business. It was Luigia's brother, Vittorio Sartor, who suggested that young Amedeo come to live with him in Scranton, PA. At age 11, Amedeo boarded a steamer bound for America. He spoke no English, and upon arriving in New York City, instructions tied to his overcoat said he was to go to his uncle's house.
Amedeo Obici's new life started in Scranton, where he learned English during night school and worked during the day to save money for his family's passage to America. His various jobs included working at a cigar factory, a fruit stand, as a hotel bellhop, and eventually for a local politician. Here he befriended a fellow Italian immigrant, Mario Peruzzi, who would become his future business partner. It is said that while working at the fruit stand he noticed the popularity of peanuts as a snack.
In 1895, seven years after his arrival, he had saved enough money to bring his mother and two siblings over. He used the rest of his savings to purchase his own fruit stand and a peanut roaster. He developed a new way to blanch the nuts, taking away the hulls and skins, and dubbing himself "The Peanut Specialist", started peddling peanuts by horse and wagon.
In 1906 Amedeo convinced his friend Mario Peruzzi to join him in forming Planters Peanut Company in Scranton. His future was now firmly entrenched with the peanut, and two years later the company was incorporated as Planters Nut and Chocolate Company. The peanut and candy business quickly proved a great success for the two Italian Americans.
While keeping company headquarters in Scranton, the manufacturing side of Planters moved to Suffolk VA in 1913. The move cut out the middlemen and put the company in the heart of the area from which most of their peanuts were bought. It was also in Suffolk where the infamous Mr. Peanut was born. The enduring character was created by 13-year old Anthony Gentile, who entered his drawing in a logo contest sponsored by Obici. A company artist then refined the drawing, adding the monocle, cane and top hat.
Amedeo Obici married Louise Musante in Scranton and the couple permanently moved to Suffolk around 1920. In 1924 they purchased the Bay Point Farms estate, where they relocated, remodeled and expanded an 1870s farmhouse and raised dairy cows.
The Obicis became generous neighbors in their new hometown. Although the couple could not have children of their own, they often held events at Bay Point Farms for local children. Civic groups and the military were invited for visits to their home, and a clubhouse was built on their estate to be used by Planters' employees for their recreation.
After his wife's death in 1938, Amedeo decided to build a hospital in her name as a lasting legacy. He died in 1947, and in 1951 Louise Obici Memorial Hospital was built from a trust funded by Amedeo Obici. Money from the trust benefited both the hospital and the Suffolk community over the next half a century, and was one of two sources that funded the Obici Healthcare Foundation. Amadeo Obici was one of the area's most important philanthropists, a man who came to his new homeland with nothing, built a successful business, and generously shared his success with his Suffolk neighbors.
